I felt he found my letters and read each one out loud. -Singer-songwriter Lori Lieberman, "Killing Me Softly" I performed the wrong surgical operation on a man 25years ago. Since then, I have completed well over 6,000 procedures and have seen at least 35,000 patients in clinic, yet my patient's face and the entire sequence of events before and after the operation are still fresh in my memory. The episode still haunts me. Writing about medical experiences that made me sit-up-and-pay-attention has always been important to me, but I have never tried to write about this man. Even now, I would not know where to begin. My patient's story resurfaced as I read Danielle Ofri's accessible and well-crafted book, What Doctors Feel: How Emotions Affect the Practice of Medicine (Beacon Press, Boston. 2013). Dr. Ofri demonstrates how the experiences all doctors share, even if unaware, can unleash startling moments of insight in the clinic and at the bedside. I was similarly moved by (and wrote about) the insights she shared in one of her earlier books, Singular Intimacies: Becoming a Doctor at Bellevue. There are a myriad of influences that shape young doctors on their difficult path incrementally assuming life-and-death decision-making responsibilities. By any objective standard, the one-size-fits-all process through which they pass is absurd, but as I read What Doctors Feel, I kept thinking, "Yeah, I've been there. I've seen that. That happened to me." Dr. Ofri lingers on the crushing of empathy. She explores how good and bad role models and the "hidden curriculum" exert pressure to change the young doctors. She explains the common experiences of fear and stress, the widespread yet rarely articulated reactions to death and sadness, and the feelings of shame and guilt that persist after medical errors and "near misses." She worries about the effect of being overwhelmed and burned out. She reports the suffocating feeling of being judged harshly. She patiently, methodically and irrefutably makes clear that every physician has some – or many – of these harrowing moments. It happens to students, to residents, to practicing physicians. No one is immune. Interwoven within the recurring story of a woman with progressive heart failure for whom Dr. Ofri cares both medically and personally, she blends recent research data, accounts of colleagues' difficult journeys and stories drawn from her own hospital ward and outpatient experiences. She explores several of the influences that thrust "normal" young adults through medical school and specialty training, delivering at the other end a cohort of practicing physicians. More than many physician-writers, Dr. Ofri is strikingly honest about her own human lapses and failures, revealing her anxiety after missing a patient's pulmonary embolism and her shame watching a nursing assistant comfort a homeless woman whom she had avoided. She shares her apprehension after discharging a suicidal patient from the hospital and her chagrin of failing to see a patient as fully human until his family arrives to share his story. Even though I trained a few years before her and hundreds of miles west of her beloved New York City, each revelation led me to recall a similar experience from my own training. In a moving sequence, she agonizes over a patient, Mercedes, who dies mysteriously a few weeks before Dr. Ofri completed her residency training. Although it took time to process her experience, Dr. Ofri remembers how she, as a young doctor, struggled to understand what had gone wrong. What did I miss? What simple thing done differently would have changed the outcome? "If all of the collective knowledge…could wither helplessly as a beautiful twenty-three-year-old woman died in front of my eyes, then what exactly was I doing as a doctor?" These days, despite her hectic schedule as a physician, editor, and parent, Dr. Ofri has continued to write, explaining, "The deliberate pace of writing - in stark contrast to the breakneck speed of medicine - allowed me time to revisit these experiences. It gave me space for the deeper consideration I felt my patients deserved, something that was simply impossible in the real time of medicine." It took "years" before she was ready to revisit some of the more difficult encounters. Again, I said to myself, "Wow. I understand." I do not have her writing chops, but I know that my own writing allows me to slow things down enough to search for some scrap of insight that would otherwise have shot past unheeded. This reflective technique is something I try to encourage in students and residents. The dreadful mistake I made as a young physician still disturbs me. When the time comes, I will page through my notes, prop my patient's photograph on my desk, and write about the man who I harmed many years ago. I will reflect on the grace I experienced as he and his family forgave me. The images and discussions circling in my head for decades will eventually find their way to the page. Like Dr. Ofri, though, it might be a while before I am ready to take that step. The following is feedback received for this blog:Dr Campbell,I just "discovered" you via the recent story on WUWM's radio website. And am so glad I did. I am a 3rd semester (out of a total of 4) nursing student at MATC and am extremely interested in the psychosocial aspects of healthcare in general and really, the systemic limitations inherent in design of practicing in modern times. To be brief, I am currently finishing the last clinical week at St. Luke's and I believe I can speak for all of us nursing students when I too feel pushed through the academic and institutional systems to acquire knowledge and "think critically" without the proper time thinking critically actually takes to achieve. I struggle with this idea continually. For example, I recently had a sore throat and went in to the walk'in clinic to rule out strep. Surprisingly, my doctor and I got to talking about the recent Frontline about nightmare bacteria like MRSA and so on. he was interested and taught me a good deal that the article left out, much to my professional benefit. He talked to me like a human, without the stiff clinical distance preached in medical school. We spoke about what my career goals might be and his own troubles within the medical system.- Dylan K.

COLUMBIA – The S.C. Department of Health and Environmental Control has been notified of the state's first flu-associated death of the season. "Tragically, a woman from Dorchester County has become our first lab-confirmed, influenza-associated death of the season," Dr. Linda Bell, state epidemiologist, said Nov. 7. "We are in the early stages of our state's flu season. It's important to get vaccinated now. The vaccine takes about two weeks to build up your body's protection against the virus. Vaccination is by far the best way to prevent the spread of the flu."
HEATH SPRINGS – Technologically speaking, the town of Heath Springs is moving on up.
At the Oct. 15 town council meeting, the council reviewed quotes to replace the town's current computer system, which Town Administrator Tony Starnes said has become a vital necessity.
"Our financial software no longer has technical support," he said.
"Emails take so long to open that sometimes you aren't sure they're going to open at all.
Michele Roberts For The Lancaster News Technologically speaking, the town of Heath Springs is moving on up. At the Oct. 15 town council meeting, the council reviewed quotes to replace the town's current computer system, which Town Administrator Tony Starnes said has become a vital necessity.

It appears the city of Lancaster wants to come onboard with the effort to restrict smoking in the county.
At its Tuesday, July 23, meeting, Lancaster City Council voted unanimously to approve first reading of a city ordinance to ban smoking in restaurants, bars and other public-access places.
The ordinance draft is similar to the ones already adopted by Lancaster County Council, Kershaw Town Council and Heath Springs Town Council.
KERSHAW – Kershaw Town Council will have a different look this year.
Two of its members have chosen not to seek re-election. They are District 3 Councilman Randy Seegars and District 4 Councilman Morris Russell.
Seegars, who's in his first term, said his health is the sole reason he's not seeking re-election. He's dealing with knee issues and a hernia, and has two upcoming surgeries, he said.
Within the last year, he believes he's missed five or six Town Council meetings for health reasons.
Here's a look at the unofficial Lancaster County vote totals for candidates on Tuesday's ballot. Local totals include all precincts. Local votes in the races for the S.C. House and S.C. Senate are for Lancaster County only. State votes include all counties (42 of 46) reported by 3 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 7.
U.S. president
• Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan (Republican) – Local: 19,273 (58 percent); state: 1,026,351(55 percent)
from Lancaster County Republican Women Katrina Shealy, Senate candidate for District 23 in Lexington County, is running a heated race against Sen. Jake Knotts on the platform of reform that supports the viability of small businesses. Shealy shared her platform at a recent Lancaster County Republican Women lunch and encouraged them to join the effort.
S.C. Treasurer Curtis Loftis will speak at Sun City Carolina Lakes at 9 a.m. Monday, Sept. 17, as part of his Safe, Smart & Secure financial forums around the state this week.
Loftis' ongoing financial-literacy tour focuses on fraudprevention techniques.
Loftis said in a press release the forums are designed to inform the public about ways to protect themselves against financial fraud and identity theft.
Is a potential county smoking ordinance an infringement on personal rights? For at least a few county residents, that answer was yes at Lancaster County Council's Monday, Sept. 10, meeting.
About an hour before council voted to approve second reading of an ordinance to prohibit smoking in enclosed public places, several people voiced concerns the ordinance amounts to government intrusion.
Controlling dangerous and mismanaged animals was a main focal point of Lancaster City Council's Tuesday, July 24, meeting. City Administrator Helen Sowell said the city has received an increased number of animal complaints in recent months and has met with officials to revisit related ordinances and practices. Back in 1992, the city eliminated its Humane Control Department and opted to mirror Lancaster County's existing ordinance and rely on the county's enforcement of animal control.

The New Albany School District is putting together a plan, which if approved by the Board of Trustees, would lengthen the school day for city school students.
Part of the impetus for the plan comes from Lisa Mitchell, principal New Albany Middle School, where a few minutes already have been added to the school day twice a week and the results have been positive.

"Presumably following its literary and cinematic predecessors"
I'm all for a negative review and different opinions about movies, but this review just feels like an attack on French culture. And I disagree. Eric Rohmer is great.
Mr. Grella's sad commentary inspires ennui. While he is criticizing the camera level - a huge shortcoming I'm sure - he spends not one word on emotion, attraction, lust or the capacity we humans have for suffering. The film deserves much better understanding before it is criticized so bluntly. But, then, what could one expect an American, albeit from Rochester, to know about the finer points of love, life or philosophy?
Also, I hope some of Mr. Northrop's sarcasm and wit (and dare I say self-awareness of his elevated mental faculties as compared to other born slaves) come through, though that might be even harder to translate into the film.
Right on. I read the book and it was. .. difficult to stomach. I hope the film captured some of Mr Northrop's ingenuity and his pondering over the nuances of cotton-picking talent and effective sugar cane harvesting (two topics of which I can scarcely imagine), his descriptions of which were really practical; a learned man indeed that heaps of injustice nearly broke.

Despite the fact that this is a historical impossibility, it does explain why there is such a high unemployment rate within the collegiate graduate ranks; especially if they listened to this anti-Christian steaming pile.
Just wow.

Washington, DC Tuesday, February 26, 2013
The Senate Finance Committee voted 19-5 to approve Jack Lew's nomination to be Treasury Secretary Tuesday, setting up a Senate floor vote in the next few days. Sen. Grassley (R-IA) was among the five Republicans Senators who opposed the president's nominee, citing Mr. Lew's years at Citigroup as the reason.
With a few days to go before automatic budget cuts known as sequestration kick in, the committee also looked at the nation's fiscal problems. Senators heard advice from former CBO Director Douglas Holtz-Eakin, who zeroed in on entitlement spending as the key driver of spending. A more gradual, phased-in approach to cuts was recommended by Robert Greenstein, the head of the Center on Budget & Policy Priorities.

"I think the PlayStation 4, or the Xbox 720, and the PC generation that equals that will see a renaissance kicking in that will allow us to effectively deliver visuals that will rival offline CGI productions right now. With that, you'll see a variety of visual styles and identities, as well as techniques used to make more creative images than we have seen today."

Wine and sekt from the Ahr region are the centrepieces in Ahrweiler market square, where more than 200 wines grown in vineyards from Altenahr to Heppingen are ready to be poured. This wine festival has been a firm fixture in the Ahr region for years. Its special atmosphere, excellent music and entertainment, and outstanding setting attract the crowds. It culminates in the coronation of the new Ahr wine queen.
A very special wine festival with a variety of stage shows, showbiz celebrities, cool live music, acrobatic displays by Europa-Park performers and the traditional barrel-tapping ceremony. Many award-winning regional wines are uncorked and poured in the charming setting of the historical Balthasar Palace garden in Europa-Park .
Strolling around the streets of Freiburg in a superbly atmospheric setting, visitors get to know the region and its people, enjoy the local specialities and feel inspired by the Badensian zest for life and wine. Stalls packed around Freiburg's famous landmark are full of traditional and regional specialities from wine cellar and kitchen.
The Ortenau vineyards showcase the full variety of their fine wines on the last weekend in September. The spacious setting of Offenburg market square, a host of music groups – some from neighbouring Alsace – a farmers market, barbecued food and speciality cheeses, tarte flambée and zwiebelkuchen make this a traditional wine festival with a cosmopolitan feel.
Nordheim Food and Wine Festival, held beneath a canopy of chestnut trees, is a wine lover's delight. Visitors to the lavishly decorated marquee can sample a broad range of wines produced by Nordheim vintners and the DIVINO wine cooperative . Also featuring typical Franconian specialities and light international dishes, it is one of the highlights of the Franconian wine calendar.
More than eighty years old but still in its prime. The first Bergstrasse Vintners' Festival may have been held in Bensheim back in 1929, but it remains a firm favourite for all ages and among wine enthusiasts from the local area and beyond. South Hessen's biggest wine festival has a young, fresh and modern image – but it still retains its traditional charm.
Boppard is on the romantic Rhine in the UNESCO World Heritage Upper Middle Rhine Valley . Bopparder Hamm is the biggest vineyard site in the Middle Rhine wine region . The wine festival takes place in the historical setting of Boppard's medieval market square. Every autumn, winemakers and restaurateurs invite wine connoisseurs and gourmets to taste their riesling and other specialities.
The white marquees that are the hallmarks of the culinary wine walk in the Stetten vineyards can be seen from miles around on Whit weekend. Ten winegrowers and five chefs at five points along the existing Stetten wine walking trail serve fine wines from their own vineyards along with gourmet delights.
The wine-making town of Heilbronn holds its traditional German wine festival around the town hall. Thirteen cooperatives and 17 wine-growing estates showcase around 300 still wines and 16 sparkling sekts. Robust reds, crisp whites and full-bodied rosés are on offer. Selected dishes accompany the top-quality wines while musical entertainment sets the tone.
Stuttgart Wine Festival has lost none of its original appeal. It is not only a hit in Stuttgart , it has long been a byword and ambassador for the Swabians' love of life, well beyond the Baden-Württemberg state capital. It shows Stuttgart and the Swabian region at its best – convivial and welcoming and celebrating wine as their cultural heritage.
Experience the biggest wine festival in the Middle Moselle region. Its highlights are the reception for the wine queen, firework displays at Landshut Castle and along the banks of the Moselle, the vintners' parade with a string of floats, marching bands and traditional dance groups from Germany and abroad. Over 30 stalls offer acclaimed riesling wines, including Bernkasteler Doctor, Zeller schwarze Katz, Piesporter Goldtröpfchen and Wehlener Sonnenuhr.
This traditional autumn wine fair takes place in the picturesque market square. Dance bands and music groups entertain the visitors while winemakers showcase their exquisite wines at vine-clad stalls. The vintner's parade is the highlight, with colourful floats proceeding through the lavishly decorated town. The original Rhine in Flames firework display can be admired from the riverbank or aboard boats.
Fine wine and good food are on the menu for this vineyard walk with panoramic views. A special miniature 'train' takes visitors up to the start of the wine walk on Michelsberg hill. Vintners and chefs work together in the pavilions spread around the vineyards to ensure that the hearty Palatinate specialities and creative local tapas match up to the range of wines provided by the nine winemakers.
For decades, the Weinkerwe festival, with its wide range of wines, has been one of the most popular festivals on the German Wine Route. A genuine wine lovers' festival at which excellent wines from the top vineyards and cellars are assured. Enjoy a glass in the sociable atmosphere of the 'Weingasse', or sip superior vintages together with fine food in the 'Weinkabinett' or at the traditional wine estates.
Famous vineyards in the UNESCO World Heritage site along the Rhine guarantee the quality of this traditional wine festival held under the lime tree in the market square. On the third weekend in August, you can taste the best rieslings and pinot noirs from the famous steep vineyards of the Rheingau , just 50 kilometres from Frankfurt . Rüdesheim wine estates such as Johannes Leitz, the Gault Millau 2011 winemaker of the year, are not to be missed.
Visitors to the Rheingau Wine Festival embark on a voyage of discovery. Around 100 winemakers offer acclaimed Rheingau riesling wines as well as sparkling sekt and regional fare. The ten-day wine festival includes a varied programme of entertainment in Schlossplatz and Dern'schen Gelände squares in Wiesbaden .
Central Germany's biggest wine festival is held in Freyburg, the capital of the most northerly German region where qualitätswein can be grown. Music and shows attract the crowds all around the town where the streets are packed with stallholders and Saale-Unstrut vintners offer their wares in the 'wine village' and around the festival site.
The traditional Mainz Wine Market is regarded as one of Mainz's best festivals. The municipal park in Mainz provides an unparalleled setting for the wine stalls, with the sekt festival and arts and crafts market in its rose garden. Strolling wine tastings and delicious food are other attractions in Mainz , which has been a member of the Great Wine Capitals network since 2008.

The Ryde Castle Hotel on the Isle of Wight after fire ripped through much of the building. Picture courtesy of Dave Russell, Wight Media Services.
A NATIONAL review of a hotel chain's fire safety procedures has been carried out after a blaze wrecked an Isle of Wight hotel.
Ryde Castle Hotel owner Greene King confirmed it re-issued its fire safety procedures at all its businesses following the fire in March which all but destroyed the historic Esplanade building.
The Isle of Wight Council said detailed investigations confirmed the most likely cause of the fire was a wedding reception firework display on the roof.
Greene King and the Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service worked together after the blaze, resulting in the chain reinforcing its fire safety rules to help ensure similar incidents were not repeated.
Fire service chief fire officer Steve Apter said: "While fireworks may be a spectacular way to celebrate a special occasion, there are very real dangers if the proper precautions are not taken, as we saw.
"This includes not only events at buildings, but also private parties in people's homes.
"I would like to remind anyone, in particular businesses, of the dangers involved when using fireworks and the need to take all necessary precautions including using suitable areas for any such displays.
"The fire service is always happy to offer advice and guidance and we are pleased Greene King has reinforced its fire procedures to prevent another Ryde Castle incident from happening."
A Greene King spokesperson said "We take health and safety very seriously and regularly train our staff on these important procedures."

"Hotel was good for our needs"
Family went down for sons graduation from WVU. Hotel is right down road from coliseum. When we first booked wasn't sure if we made right choice of hotels but lobby smelled nice and pool was clean. Room were adequate and staff was friendly. For what we use hotel for it was fine.Verifierad gästrecension
"best compared to other hotels I stayed in"
very nice, staff was very friendly. clean and nice locatonVerifierad gästrecension
"Overnight for WVU visit"
This hotel was perfect for an overnight visit to WVU. Great location and good price. My only complaint was no hot (or even warm) water for showers in the morning.Verifierad gästrecension
"Close to great restaurants"
Stay was very good as always. The one item that needs improvement is their breakfast room which is way too small. The layout of the breakfast room also needs improvement. When there are several people trying to get room there is no flow of traffic.....very poor.Verifierad gästrecension
"Close to UWV"
We have a son who attends University of West Virginia. We have stayed at the Best Western everytime we have gone down to visit him. It is minutes away from the University, close to Pizza Al's-best pizza around!!! and there's a gas station right across the street if you want snacks. The price is right and the staff is always friendly. Breakfast is OK, […] nothing to write home about...it fills your stomach is included and the coffee is good. MerVerifierad gästrecension
It was not as bad as most reviews I read before going. Only problem we had is we arrived in morning for a WVU football game and they would not let us check in tip 1:30 even though our room was empty which meant we had to check in at 1am because we didn't go back until after game. Other then that room was clean staff friendly enough. Someone was banging […] on door next to ours at 3am but not any fault of hotel. Beds were comfortable and room heater worked great since we were frozen from sitting at game. All in all if I had to stay again I would. MerVerifierad gästrecension
"Where was the hot water?"
For the money, not a bad hotel except, the first day we were there the hottest water setting on the shower only produced warm water and on the second day there was no hot water at all. Cold showers!?Verifierad gästrecension
"Overpriced motel"
The room was clean, but the heating/cooling system was mediocre. In addition, the nightly charge was way out of line. Finally, guests across the hall were incredibly noisy (before 6am!), and a call to the front desk yielded nothing. Overall, the room was confortable, and the breakfast buffet was decent, but the motel is way overpriced.Verifierad gästrecension
"better than expected"
all went well, staff worked well with guests, everything worked and room more than satisfactory......bathroom was terribly small,,,,,,location to WVU facilities was great as well as access to Interstate road system......amenities such as indoor pool and weight room were very nice.......morning breakfast was not up to the par of the rest of the mote […] l MerVerifierad gästrecension
"Close to WVU"
Everything was alot better than I thought it would be.We will stay here again!Verifierad gästrecension
Adequate for our needs. Moving our daughter to school do didnt spend much time at hotel. Room was clean but bathroom moisture terrible after one shower. Was asked by housekeeping to bring out used towels but they were never repaced.Verifierad gästrecension
"Single overnight stay is ok"
Hotel had messy and dirty floors (including the elevator) and the tv remote was missing.Verifierad gästrecension
"Perfect for Staying in Morgantown, WV"
Enjoyed our stay,perfect for overnight stay before a campus tour. Great location, very close to campus.Verifierad gästrecension
"Decent place"
My daughter and I went to Morgantown for orientation at WVU. The hotel was fairly close to the school which was convenient. I hate navigating Morgantown. The room was clean,and comfortable, the front desk clerk was very nice even though he was quite busy and the continental breakfast was not bad for what it was. I didn't use any of the amenities such […] as the pool or the gym. MerVerifierad gästrecension
Pool steps are a lawsuit waiting to happen: suggest painting with non skid paint.Verifierad gästrecension
"Very convenient, good for the price"
Hotel isn't the nicest or fanciest hotel I've stayed at in Morgantown, however for the price and location this place is hard to beat. Hotel is definately due for a facelift. Needs updated TV's and room looks like a standard hotel room from the 1990s. Hotel layout is very unconventional... almost got lost walking from the check-in counter to the room […] and vice-versa the next morning. Hotel location is very convenient to the WVU coliseum and only a couple miles from Mountaineer Field. MerVerifierad gästrecension
"Not bad......"
Not a great location, a little farther north than we wanted to be, but a really good hotel for the money. No wi-fi in the rooms, but we could get to it in the lobby.Verifierad gästrecension
Public areas, elevators, halls poorly maintained. Gobs of dirt & sand remained on elevator floor for 2 days Breakfast items not available: oatmeal, butter, waffles* *waffle machine inoperable in 2 previous visits within the past 3 months. Construction renovation of front portico precluded vehicular entry with no barricade or notice to prevent partial […] entry necessitating to back out into traffic. MerVerifierad gästrecension
"Best Western Mountaneer"
Close to highway,clean and comfortableVerifierad gästrecension
The Best Western Mountaineer Inn was the perfect place to stay. We were out of the heavy traffic pattern and it was so easy to access. Even though we are die heart PITT fans, the staff and others staying at the same hotel were very warm and friendly!! I would def recommend to others!!Verifierad gästrecension
"WVU Best Western"
Alittle pricey but much nicer than I thought it would be. Clean and comfortable room. Very convenient to campus and food...located in busy part of town. Would stay again!!Verifierad gästrecension
The hotel smelled in the lobby, hallways and room. I would not take a shower in the room, very dirty. I was up to visit my son at WVU..next time I will sleep in my car. Beds/pillows were very uncomfortable. Very noisy in the hallways thoughout the night. Would NOT recommend.Verifierad gästrecension
"Best Western Mountaineer Inn"
This is the 3rd time in 4 years that I have traveled from Dallas, TX to Morgantown for a WVU game. I have stayed at this hotel all 3 times. This is the first time that I found the cleanliness of the room in question. To be honest, the bathroom was not cleaned very well. We went in one room, and had to move to another because the toilet had not been […] cleaned. The second room's bathroom was not much cleaner. Other than that, everything was ok. Just disappointed and surprised at the cleanliness or lack of, in regards to the room.. MerVerifierad gästrecension
"Asleep in hallway"
Room was OK. Bathroom outdated. This seems to be a hotel for workers. Many trucks in parking lot. In fact, I found one worker sleeping it off in the hallway (he did have his pillow) outside our room. Some one told us there was a fight on another floor. Then again, it was a Saturday night. Maybe Wednesdays are better.Verifierad gästrecension
"Bad Odor in Hallway"
Other than the unidentifiable stench in the hallways, it served it's purpose. The indoor pool was too cold to stay in for longer than 10 min. You can imagine how my children reacted to having to get out of it. However, it was the only available hotel available that was halfway decent. It was a game weekend0, so all the area hotels were booked. I travel […] there at least once a month, but not for the games. If you aren't there for a game then try to travel on an off weekend. The rates were inflated more than $50..... MerVerifierad gästrecension
Everthing is good!Verifierad gästrecension
"smokey room"
I reserved a non smoking room and received a smokey room.Verifierad gästrecension
This hotel is located about 2 blocks from the Monongahela River. It would make an excellent choice, if you were looking to do some fishing. It is also close to a large shopping plaza, and restaurants. The room is equipped with WIRED internet, so if you want wireless, bring your own router…..Verifierad gästrecension
2nd time we stayed here in 2 weeks. The room was nice and cool and the shower hot. However, when we called and asked for more towels, they wanted to know how many we needed. Never got them. So wrote a note for housekeeping and asked for some extra bath towels. Got one. This could be a really nice hotel but needs better customer care and the elevators […] needed cleaning. Garbage all over. MerVerifierad gästrecension
"Best Western in Morgantown WV"
For more of a budget type hotel, the Best Western was definitely a good value. The room was good sized, everything was clean, breakfast each morning was hot and enough variety. Staff were very friendly. Would definitely stay there again.Verifierad gästrecension
"Best Western Mountaineer-close to WVU"
I was pleased with the hotel. The staff was very friendly and courteous. The free breakfast was wonderful. The pool was nice. The rooms were spacious...except bathroom was very small...and clean. The hallways were clean. It was 2 minutes away from the Coliseum. Very good deal for the money. I would def recommend to others.Verifierad gästrecension
"Nice Place, Good Price"
The room was clean and the breakfast was pretty good. I was impressed with the place because it was one of the cheaper hotels in the area. It had a nice gym and indoor pool. I would stay there again. If you are looking for a good deal on a clean room, this would be a good choice.Verifierad gästrecension
"best western mountaineer inn in morgantown, wv"
We had a very good stay. We where there for a graduation. The staff was very friendly and very helpful. We called for extra towels and they were delivered to our room in minutes. We also enjoyed the poolVerifierad gästrecension
THE ONLY PROBLEM I HAD WAS THAT THE BATHROOM SMELLED LIKE STRONG PEEVerifierad gästrecension
"Good motel, great price"
For the money we could not have asked for more. The service was friendly, and the rooms were clean and quiet.Verifierad gästrecension

Home: Ten Totally Cute USB Flash Drives
Written by Pip Lincolne
Be Organized
5 Comments
Do you travel a bit? Or do you need to tote your files from one computer to the other? Then this is the post for you!
I'm off to Sydney today and I really do wish that I had one of these fancy pants USB drives to take with me. I have a USB that a friend gave me. It has a sponsor logo emblazoned on it. It is not pretty. It is not flash at all. It should be ashamed to call itself a flash drive. It's totally UNFLASH. Jeepers.
Luckily, my unflash flash drive is in the minority. There are a ton of adorable, clever, surprising and cute USB flash drives out there, the kind that you would be super happy to upload your files to. These are the kind of USBs that say a LOT about what kind of person you are. Perhaps you are a rabbit? Or a twig? Maybe you are a cute Japanese character? Or you might be a unicorn, like me?!
Click through to discover a whole world of flashy file storage. Not a sponsor logo in sight. Just the odd fluffy bit or horn. That's flashy, right?!
Do you have a flashy flash drive? Do you fancy one of these?!

It is ironic that the name of a mental device which is supposed to make our lives easier is itself so hard to spell. Is there a mnemonic for the spelling of mnemonic?
Sure; repeat to yourself my niece is mnemonic. This assumes that the mn is the source of difficulty and you don't need a mnemonic for the rest of the word. | |||||||||||||
It might help to associate it to a word which is related etymologically: amnesia. | |||
A collection of mnemonics for mnemonic from the web:
But I think the best is @Peter Taylor's simple suggestion to remember amnesia. | |||||||||||||
If it were a class of words you're talking about, I'd say a mnemonic would be useful. But as you are referring to a single instance, why create a mnemonic that you will have to remember (and may get wrong) to remember a single word? That adds an unnecessary burden (and abstraction) to the task. | |||||||||||||
M N E M O N I C. Two M's M always comes before N Never a P! | |||||||||||||
Maybe try these to remember how to spell MNEMONICS:
| |||||||||||||
My niece enjoys mnemonics only never in class. | |||||
It's a weird one, but that's how it got stuck in my head! | ||||
Angry at his last trickery, Seinfeld said: "Mmmm... Newman!" A bit more in the scientific side: pneumatics, air brakes on buses, trucks and trains are examples of pneumatic systems. | ||||
My 11 year old has just been interviewing people for his English project on spelling strategies and just came up with what I thought was a good mnemonic for mnemonic- Men Never Eat Marmalade On Nice Ice Creams | |||
Hmmm? How to remember how to spell nemonic? (sic) Hmmm! Spell phonetically by jogging your memory... mnemonic. | ||||

Jedi_Learner wrote:For anyone thinking about creating new maps you can do this with little fuss, but each time you leave and return all content (monsters, loot and map) will reset.
Book I maps store a "Map ID" which needs to be the same name as the filename, otherwise the state of the map won't get saved properly (and in fact could possibly overwrite the state of whatever map you had started with). When creating new maps in Book I, be sure to go into the global "Map Properties" dialog and update the Map ID accordingly.
I had toyed with the idea of just setting that value automatically, but I figure that could lead to unintended consequences too, if people are saving maps as backups or something; I dunno. Perhaps I'll end up doing that in a future version anyway. Regardless, for now just set the value and you should be fine.

Sgt. Heath Sagan, 23, of Willits, was killed early Sunday morning in a motorcycle crash southeast of Auburn.
Sagan was riding a 2012 Yamaha motorcycle northbound on Highway 49 just north of Aaron Cool Drive in El Dorado County when for unknown reasons it left the roadway. The motorcycle struck a dirt embankment and continued out of control before colliding with a tree, says the California Highway Patrol report. Sagan was ejected from the motorcycle and died at the scene.
Sagan joined the U.S. Army in 2007 after graduating with high academic honors from Willits High School. At Willits High School he competed in both football and baseball. Sagan recently returned from deployment in Afghanistan.

Forex is a market in which traders get to exchange one country's currency for another. You can buy one currency, like the Japanese yen, and then watch the markets to see if there is another currency you should trade it for, like the American dollar. If his assumption is correct, his trading yen for dollars will yield him a profit.
One trading account isn't enough when trading Forex. You need two! Use one as a demo account for testing your market choices, and the other as your real one.
High school is over and you're about to graduate. One of the first things you need to do is to pick out which college you want to attend. Colleges are not all the same, so the one pick is very important for your education. Continue on to figure out what you can do to get the most out of your education.
Be sure you have enough toiletries with you when going to college. Products like shampoo, conditioner, toothpaste and shaving cream are essential for proper hygiene. If you purchase them on campus, you will likely be overcharged. Try to buy in bulk as well, as this will help you to save money over time.
Business opportunities in the financial market are risky, and some are better than others. Forex is the biggest currency trading platform in the world! The tips laid out in this article will help you take advantage of some of the great Forex opportunities available to you.
You can build on your forex skills by learning from other traders' experience, but you should remain true to your own trading philosophy. Getting information and opinions from outside sources can be very valuable, but ultimately your choices are up to you.

CHICAGO (CBS) — Weekend gun violence in Chicago left two men dead and at least 14 other people wounded, including a man shot during a party in the Loop's historic Palmer House Hilton Hotel.
The man, 25, was attending a party on the 22nd floor of the hotel at 17 E. Monroe St. when a male shooter pulled out a gun and opened fire, police News Affairs Officer Hector Alfaro said.
He was shot in the right leg, and was taken to Northwestern Memorial Hospital in good condition, Alfaro said. No one is in custody early Sunday, and police had no word on what sparked the shooting.
A representative for the hotel could not be reached for comment.
The weekend's first fatal shooting happened about 9:15 p.m. Friday in the West Side Austin neighborhood. A 21-year-old man was shot several times through a glass window while he was inside a Popeyes Chicken and Biscuits restaurant in the 5500 block of West North Avenue, police said.
Marshall D. Fields-Hall, of the 1500 block of North Luna Avenue, was pronounced dead at John H. Stroger Jr. Hospital of Cook County within the hour, according to the Cook County Medical Examiner's office.
About 15 minutes after that attack, a separate fatal shooting claimed the life of a 19-year-old man in the South Side Back of the Yards neighborhood.
Jovantay Alexander, of the 1800 block of East 72nd Street, was found dead near 54th and Laflin streets, according to police and the medical examiner's office. He had been shot in the face.
No one has been arrested in connection with either slaying as of early Sunday, police said.
Weekend shootings throughout Chicago left 15 people wounded.
If I may take some liberties and plagiarize other thoughts/statements i've read about this elsewhere:
Where is the uproar?
Where is Jesse and Al?
Imagine how many would be shot if they didn't have gun control in Chicago
Blacks shooting blacks no one cares. Whites shooting blacks, Jesse Jackson cares, blacks shooting whites a family may care, whites shooting whites it's the guns fault <---my personal favorite

New Zealand is an adventure sports junkie's dream. The Tolkien-worthy landscape seems tailor made for adrenaline, and the country that invented bungee jumping takes their adventure seriously. A magical landscape of wild snow-capped mountains, shining lakes and roaring rivers serves as a giant playground filled with world class 'tramping,' skiing and rafting. When you're done, marvel at the thermal wonders of Rotorua, or set out in search of whales and dolphins. While there may be more sheep than people, the friendly English-speaking kiwis will make you wish there were more of them.

But if you're short on travel dollars, fear not; this trip squeezes in the very best of both the North and South Islands into an affordable, action-packed 21-day itinerary that moves swiftly without ever seeming rushed.

A NAS Whiting Field pilot is believed to be dead following a weekend plane crash into Lake Ponchartrain near New Orleans.
Lt. Clinton Wermers and a student pilot, whose name had not yet been released, were flying a routine nighttime instrument training mission and were approaching Lakefront Airport in New Orleans when their plane went down in the lake.
Coast Guard teams rescued the student pilot from the water near 9 p.m. Saturday with mild hypothermia and moderate injuries. Wermers, the instructor pilot, has not been located and Coast Guard rescue efforts have transitioned to a recovery operation.
The rescued pilot was taken to West Jefferson Medical Center for treatment of mild hypothermia. He has since been released.
According to reports, the plane had been flying at low altitudes and therefore didn't break apart when it hit the water.
The two pilots were attached to Training Squadron SIX at Naval Air Station Whiting Field.
The cause of the accident is still unknown and an investigation is being conducted by Training Air Wing FIVE and Nave Safety Center.

Call for Papers on Game Based Learning closes today!
eLearning Papers seeks contributions about Game Based Learning in both sections: In-Depth and From the Field. Deadline June 3, 2011
In parallel to the phenomenal rise of the digital game development industry through time, the acceptance of games in other sectors has also been changing. Computer game skills have been increasingly applied in almost all areas of human activity within modern societies. Digital games have now been embraced by the academic research community as a research topic, as well as discovered by the education sector as a highly interactive media that can support and foster learning. As a popular and powerful media, computer games are being considered for use in various education and training settings to motivate learners, to focus their attention, and to help them to construct meaningful and permanent records of their learning.
Games have high presence in informal segments of learning – but in formal education, games are still often seen as an unserious activity and the potentials of games for learning remain undiscovered. However, when evaluating games with their children, 85% of parents believed that computer games contributed to learning as well as providing entertainment.
Beside fantasy and fun elements, games have potential to foster players' ability to communicate and interact with others during gameplay. Computer games can help players to think critically when they are required to construct connections between virtual and real life. Game-like learning environments can provide motivating interdisciplinary learning settings, creating opportunities that could improve student collaboration skills as well as help them learn new concepts and synthesize new information. Games have also been praised for the potential they offer in learning business leadership and other skills by practicing in a safe environment.
The potential of Game Based Learning (GBL) is still underestimated. It can play a major role in renewing learning as it is perceived by learners in all levels of education and training systems. eLearning Papers seeks contributions about mixed realities, virtual worlds and gaming in both sections: In-Depth and From the Field.
We specifically invite contributions which address one or several of the following issues:
- Innovative game based learning technologies, applications, tools and environments
- 3D virtual worlds supporting learning, e.g. in language learning or leadership training
- Use of mobile games and location-based technology for learning
- Innovative applications of mixed realities for learning
- Use of simulations in education, corporate training and military
- Technology for massive multiplayer online games (MMOGs) for learning
- Interactivity design in game based learning applications
- Player immersion and learning
- Case studies and best practices in GBL
- Social and collaborative aspects of GBL
- Implementation issues associated with GBL
- Learning design, good gameplay and instructional theory for GBL
- Use of role plays for learning and training
- Assessment and evaluation in GBL
- Gender, age, cultural and ethical issues in GBL
- Rating of games for learning
- Accessibility of games for learning

Serious Games and Simulations: Theories and Applications
Mediawijs? Bewijs het maar groep 7!
TV, internet, social media, gaming. De mogelijkheden die media bieden zijn grenzeloos. Kinderen zijn er dagelijks uren mee bezig. Maar weten ze wel hoe media werken? Wat ze er allemaal mee kunnen en wat de risico's zijn? Daarom introduceert Mediawijzer.net het spel: MediaMasters.
Een super spannend, levensecht spel dat in de klas en in de media wordt gespeeld. Waarbij leerlingen moeten overleggen, samenwerken, zelf media maken en inzicht hebben in wat er speelt. En bewust omgaan met vragen als: wat is echt en wat niet? Is iedereen te vertrouwen? Wat vertel je over jezelf? Alle leerlingen laten zien hoe mediawijs ze zijn en ontvangen na afloop hun officiële Media Master.
MediaMasters2011 vindt plaats in de Week van de Mediawijsheid van 21 t/m 27 november 2011. Tijdens deze week vinden in samenwerking met de openbare bibliotheken activiteiten plaats om burgers en instellingen wegwijs te maken in het gebruik van verschillende media, met het accent op digitale media.
Scholen kunnen zich aanmelden via http://www.mediamasters2011.nl/. Het spel neemt per lesdag ongeveer één uur in beslag. Aan het spel zijn voor scholen geen kosten verbonden.
Over MediaMasters2011
MediaMasters2011 is een initiatief van Mediawijzer.net, een netwerkorganisatie waarin Stichting Kennisnet, NTR, het SIOB, ECP-EPN en het Nederlands Instituut voor Beeld en Geluid samenwerken.

Will Car Buying Go Virtual?
According to the company Leadpile.com in a press release, more and more luxury car buying is going online. The company has an interest in the issue because they sell luxury cars via the internet, though they do make some strong points in their argument. Luxury car buyers are looking for stylish vehicles that offer comfort and convenience, and car dealerships could not be considered to be as convenient as shopping from your computer at home. The question is really whether the shoppers will miss the interaction and attention at upscale dealerships, which, in some locations, can rival the level of service received at posh salons.
With buyers who prize both comfort and convenience, it would make sense that they would put the comforts of being pampered at a high-class dealership above the convenience of shopping online. If convenience alone was the issue, they might not hold out for a luxury car in the first place.
