Whenever we think chest pain, we think heart attack . And that's important because any type of chest pain is a serious warning and should be evaluated by a doctor immediately. But it could also be an unusual form of angina . A type that occurs at rest called variant angina.
What is Variant Angina?
Most of us have heard of angina, chest pain most commonly linked to heart attacks. But did you know there are several types of angina, including:
- Stable angina—This form has a predictable pattern. It generally occurs when a blocked artery causes reduced blood flow to the heart when the heart is working hard. Emotional stress or physical activity can make your heart work harder. As a result, stable angina appears when you are physically active or emotionally charged.
- Unstable angina—This type is more unpredictable. Chest pain may develop at any time during any activity. It may be a sign that you are about to have a major heart attack. It should be treated as an emergency.
- Microvascular angina—This is a type of angina in which people have chest pain but no apparent coronary artery blockages. This type of chest pain is caused by problems in the tiny blood vessels that nourish the heart, arms, and legs.
- Variant angina—This form is characterized by a sudden, temporary narrowing or tightening of a coronary artery. Variant angina is also called atypical angina, or Prinzmetal's angina.
Most types of angina are caused by problems with blood vessels and are often triggered by either physical or emotional exertion. But variant angina is caused by a coronary artery spasm. It generally occurs when you are at rest, often between the hours of 12:00 p.m. and 8:00 a.m. It is rare, but can be very painful and frightening.
Coronary Artery Spasm
Coronary artery spasm is a sudden, temporary narrowing or tightening of a small part of an artery. The artery supplies blood to the heart. This spasm results in the heart temporarily not getting enough blood. The blockage of blood causes you to feel chest pain.
Coronary artery spasm can occur in people who do not have significant coronary artery disease (CAD). However, some people with variant angina have severe disease in at least one vessel. The spasm typically occurs at the site of blockage. Fortunately, coronary artery spasm does not typically trigger the series of events that can lead to a heart attack. But if a coronary artery spasm is severe and occurs for a long period of time, a heart attack can occur.
Coronary artery spasm may be triggered by emotional stress, exposure to cold, cocaine use, or heavy smoking. People who have underlying coronary artery disease, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (an enlarged heart due to disease), or uncontrolled high blood pressure are also at an increased risk of variant angina.
What are the Symptoms of Variant Angina?
The symptoms of variant angina include:
- Chest pain that feels like a strangling or heavy pressure on the chest
- Pain that starts in the chest and spreads to the throat, arms (usually the left arm), jaw, and between the shoulder blades (It can also spread to the stomach and feel like an ulcer or indigestion.)
- A feeling of tightness or heaviness in the chest
- Nausea
- Sweating
- Light-headedness
- Trouble breathing
- Palpitations (rapid or irregular heartbeats), skipped beats, or a "flip-flop" feeling in your chest
How Is Variant Angina Diagnosed?
If your doctor suspects you have variant angina, she will examine you and order an electrocardiogram (ECG). The ECG will record your heart rhythms and may show certain changes indicating that your pain is being caused by coronary spasm. Your doctor may also ask you to wear a small, portable ECG recorder called a Holter monitor for 24-72 hours. Like an ECG, this monitor also records your heart rhythms. In some cases, you may also be asked to take a stress or treadmill ECG. During this type of ECG, your heart's activity is recorded while you are under stress (ie, exercising). Your doctor may also order a panel of blood tests to determine whether any significant heart injury has occurred or is likely to occur.
Finally, your doctor may order a coronary angiogram , a special x-ray that uses a dye to create images of your arteries. This test can show your doctor any blockages in your arteries. During this test, you may actually be given a medicine designed to trigger a coronary spasm. This is done to help locate on the x-ray exactly where the spasm is occurring.
How Is Variant Angina Treated?
Variant angina is often treated with drugs called calcium channel blockers. These drugs can decrease variant angina attacks and are often used in combination with nitrates. If, however, your angina is being caused by a severe blockage, your doctor may schedule a procedure to treat it.
The goal of treating variant angina is to stop the symptoms. Your doctor will work with you to come up with a plan that includes:
- Stopping the use of any drugs that cause coronary artery spasm
- Taking medication to help prevent coronary spasm
- Reviewing your lifestyle and habits to reduce your risk for heart disease
- Having frequent follow-up appointments to check your progress
- Quitting smoking
What Can You Do?
Remember that many types of chest pain aren't related to angina at all. For example, heartburn or inflammation of the lungs may also cause chest pain. However, there is no way for you, especially if you are at home and frightened, to distinguish one type of chest pain from another. Therefore, any chest pain you experience should be evaluated by a doctor right away.
However, if you have a history of variant angina, there are some things you can do to take care of yourself, such as:
- Taking medicine as directed by your doctor
- Avoiding drugs that may worsen your condition
- Reporting any new symptoms to your doctor right away
- Learning how anxiety and stress affect you and develop methods to help you cope more effectively

Gerges questioned Morsy's ability to continue to lead but said he doubted the military would depose him. Such a move "would plunge Egypt into a greater legal, political and institutional crisis," he said.
The military will want to see the influence of the Muslim Brotherhood reduced in government and in the constitution, Gerges said.
Mubarak had long repressed the Islamic political movement, but it is now the nation's most powerful political force.
Anti-government demonstrators say they have collected 17 million signatures -- 4 million more than the number who voted Morsy into the presidency -- calling for him to go.
The opposition comprises various groups and loose coalitions, some of which are loyal to the ousted Mubarak government, while others want the army to intervene.
AbdulMawgoud Dardery, a former member of parliament and a Muslim Brotherhood representative, told CNN's "Amanpour" that the military could be an "honest broker" in a national dialogue. He said Morsy has reached out to opposition leaders many times, but the opposition "is afraid of democracy."
"It failed in the previous five elections we had in Egypt since the revolution, and they don't want to fail a sixth time," he said. "That's why they're going to street politics."

Help Restore the Angeles National Forest
This massive volunteer effort, known as Forest Aid: Angeles, is a follow-up to another post-wildfire project in the San Bernardino National Forest, where volunteers working under a partnership of TreePeople, the San Bernardino National Forest Association and the Forest Service planted nearly 50,000 seedlings during the years 2009 and 2010.
Replanting these mountain forests will protect them from future wildfire destruction and enables them to, once again, function as part of a healthy, natural watershed. With this support from Forest Aid volunteers, the forests will continue to perform their magic:
* Producing oxygen
* Filtering pollutants from the air
* Replenishing groundwater supplies by helping the land absorb and filter rainwater
* Reducing the negative effects of global warming
* Providing a habitat for wildlife
About Forest Aid: Angeles
Forest Aid began as a partnership with The United States Forest Service, the San Bernardino National Forest Association and TreePeople to replant fire-damaged areas of the San Bernardino National Forest, and continues in the Angeles National Forest.This partnership is based on a simple belief: That a single person planting a single tree can help revitalize fire-damaged areas, affect climate change, clean the air, capture rainwater and build a sense of community.

U.S. stocks shaved earlier gains and finished mixed Friday, as investors kept tabs on the global economy.
The market also broke a two-week winning streak, as all three major indexes declined for the week. The Dow and Nasdaq slipped 0.1%, while the S&P 500 lost 0.4%.
Chatter that Spain is working with European Union officials on the terms of a bailout drove the market higher in the morning. But stocks lost steam in afternoon trading, ending the day little changed. The Dow Jones industrial average slipped 0.1%, while the Nasdaq gained 0.1%. The S&P 500 finished the day flat. Earlier in the session, the Dow had hit a 5-year high, while the Nasdaq climbed to a 12-year high.
Worries that the global economy is slowing have kept investors on edge this week.
Early Friday, World Trade Organization economists scaled back their forecasts for trade expansion, though recent moves by central banks around the world to take action was cheered.
"In an increasingly interdependent world, economic shocks in one region can quickly spread to others. Recently announced measures to reinforce the euro and boost growth in the United States are therefore extremely welcome," said WTO Director-General Pascal Lamy in a statement.
Meanwhile, Apple's stock was also in focus Friday, as the iPhone 5 went on sale around the world. The new device is almost sure to be the company's best seller yet. Apple shares rose to an all-time high of $705.07, before settling just above $700 a piece for the day.
Friday also marked "quadruple witching," when four types of contracts expire -- market index futures, market index options, stock options and stock futures. While many traders settle out those contracts in the days leading up the expiration, there is still some volatility on the actual day.
Overseas, the Shanghai Composite ended the day 0.1% higher, the Hang Seng in Hong Kong finished up 0.7%, and Japan's Nikkei rose 0.3%. In Europe, Britain's FTSE 100 finished flat, the DAX in Germany gained 0.8% and France's CAC 40 rose 0.6%.
Companies: KB Home shares jumped more than 16% after the home builder reported quarterly earnings of 4 cents per share that were contrary to anticipated losses.
BlackBerry maker Research in Motion plunged 6.5% after the company reported a brief outage in e-mail service in Europe Friday morning. The news comes just a few days before the struggling company is due to report its latest quarterly results.
Shares of Darden Restaurants, which operates chains Red Lobster and Olive Garden, gained ground after it reported earnings of 85 cents per share, near expectations.
Shares of business software maker Oracle rose a day after the company reported quarterly earnings in line with forecasts.
McDonald's shares were also slightly higher Friday, a day after the fast food chain promised to raise its dividend 10% for the fourth quarter.
Currencies and commodities: The dollar fell against the euro, British pound and Japanese yen.
Oil for November delivery rose 47 cents to settle at $92.89 a barrel.
Gold futures for December delivery rose $7.80 to settle at $1,778 an ounce.
Bonds: The price on the benchmark 10-year U.S. Treasury rose, pushing the yield down to 1.75% from 1.78% late Thursday.

Washington, DC Wednesday, March 28, 2012
The final question today before the Supreme Court is whether the Affordable Care Act's expansion of the Medicaid program violates the Constitution. The Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals agreed that it did not.
Twenty-six states are challenging Congress's decision in the Affordable Care Act to expand Medicaid coverage, an expansion that the states argue will bust their budgets. The states are relying on what is known as the "coercion theory," arguing that federal Medicaid funding they rely on will be taken away if the states do not agree with this portion of the law. They also argue that Congress is achieving something that it doesn't have the power to do; that is, expand Medicaid eligibility in all of the states.
Defenders of the Medicaid expansion provision argue that states can decide whether they want to participate in Medicaid on the terms outlined in the Act; if they decline to do so, they have plenty of time to come up with an alternative plan.

American Women's Fashion
Rich and Poor.
The new century brought a tremendous influx of immigrants, growth in the economy, and an explosion of new businesses and technologies. Women in the slums of the large cities and those on farms struggled to feed, shelter, and clothe their families, while middle-class women whose husbands worked in business or government offices lived in comfortable homes with hired help. Their children went to schools and enjoyed warm food and new clothes, while children of the poor worked for pennies and attended school erratically. At the other extreme, wealthy women, whose numbers grew in the first decade of the century, had domestic staffs, several homes, and plenty of time to supervise their families' active social lives. The disparity between the working poor and the idle rich had never been more glaring than it was as the new century opened.
European Influence.
Paris and London set the fashion trends American women followed, if they could afford to do so, and these trends were tied to the tastes of the French and British upper classes. In America middle-class women copied the Vanderbilts, Astors, and Roosevelts, who, in turn, copied the looks of the European aristocracy. In this way, Paris and London influenced the dominant look of American women, even if elite European designers did not directly design for the masses.

Apparel for Men
Men's Fashions.
For middle- and upper-class men, as for their female counterparts, dress followed rigid rules. In 1901 such men typically changed clothes three times over the course of a day. For the office a man wore a dark frock coat or morning coat, a waistcoat in a contrasting color, and striped trousers. The lounge suit provided a more relaxed alternative for leisure activities: the lounge jacket had short, pointed lapels and was shaped at the waist; the trousers were narrower than those of the business suit and sported a crease down the center of the leg. Following the example set by King Edward VII of Britain, many younger men chose to wear the lounge suit during business hours.

Architecture, Interior Design, and Furniture
The Classical Revival.
On the eve of the twentieth century American architecture was at a crossroads. Victorian architecture and design were preoccupied with past styles, particularly Greek and Roman classicism. The classical revival in architecture took its lead from the Ecole des Beaux Arts in Paris, where, beginning in the mid nineteenth century, many American architects studied; upon their return to the United States they passed on the Beaux Arts philosophy to their own students. Beaux Arts principles were dominant in American architecture for about a hundred years.
Organic Design.
In the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries Beaux Arts was challenged by two related developments that took their inspiration from organic growth in nature: the Chicago school in architecture and the Arts and Crafts movement. The first, and the most important, architect to employ the organic concept was Louis Sullivan. Sullivan used the term organic to mean that a building's structure should be...

The Horseless Carriage.
It was not clear at the turn of the century whether steam, electricity, or gasoline would prove the most efficient power source for automobiles. Americans had been experimenting with mechanized road vehicles since the 1880s; called "horseless carriages," these early cars took many of their design features—high, thin wheels; simple chassis; buggylike interiors; and tillers for steering—from traditional horse-drawn carriages and were nearly indistinguishable from them. Charles E. Duryea of Springfield, Massachusetts; Freelan O. and Francis E. Stanley of Newton, Massachusetts; and Rollin H. White of Cleveland, Ohio, were a few of the more successful mechanics who struggled to build a reliable motorized vehicle in the 1890s.
The Stanley Steamer.
As the decade opened, it appeared that steam would win the motorization battle. The Stanley brothers' steam car had no driveshaft, no spark advance to manipulate, no irritating vibration when in motion, and no difficulty racing up any hill. The car, however, carried only a twenty-mile supply of water. An even greater inconvenience than the...

Burnham, Daniel H. 1846-1912
Forging the Chicago Style.
Burnham and Root was one of the most successful architectural firms in America in the late nineteenth century. Daniel Hudson Burnham and John Wellborn Root became partners in 1873 and designed many of Chicago's most notable buildings. Their early works, such as the Montauk Block (1882), the Calumet Building (1884), and the Rookery (1886), had castiron interior columns and load-bearing masonry walls. The first building in which they used an all-steel frame was the Rand-McNally Building (1890). Burnham and Root's creative partnership was abruptly ended in 1891 by the death of Root at the age of forty-one. The firm, renamed D. H. Burnham and Company, went on to build many important buildings, such as the Great Northern Hotel (1892) and the Masonic Temple (1892), the tallest buildings of their day, each at twenty stories. The Reliance Building (1895) gained praise with its steel frame and structure-revealing terra-cotta and glass walls.
Early Life and Training.
Burnham was born in upstate New York in 1846 and moved to Chicago with his family when he was nine. After graduating from high school, in which his grades were poor except in drawing, Burnham became a store clerk and then a miner in Nevada and ran unsuccessfully for the Illinois Senate before being hired by...

Gill, Irving 1870-1936
Modern Architect.
Though he had no formal training in the field, Irving Gill became a pioneer of modern architecture. Unlike Victorian architects, Gill viewed a building's interior and the surrounding land as integral parts of the architecture. Aesthetically, he rejected the ornamentation and detail work of architectural historicism. He also cared about low-cost housing and about using the most modern materials in his buildings. Gill shared the concern of his fellow California architects, Charles Sumner and Henry Mather Greene, with craftsmanship; but unlike the Greene brothers, who designed intricate, handcrafted details for their buildings, Gill was led by his interest in craftsmanship into modernism—into simplifying his structures almost to the point of abstraction. Also influenced by the simple adobe forms of early California Spanish missions, he used new materials, especially reinforced concrete, to erect buildings with plain, clean surfaces and minimal ornamentation.
Early Life and Training.
Gill was born in Syracuse, New York, in 1870. His only early training in architecture came from exposure to his father's work as a building contractor and a brief job in an architect's office. In 1890 he went to Chicago and went to work as a draftsman for the firm of Dankmar Adler and Louis Sullivan; a fellow...

Greene, Charles 1868-1957
Charles Sumner Greene and Henry Mather Greene were the foremost American proponents of the Arts and Crafts movement. The movement, which had started in the middle of the nineteenth century in England, promoted the handcrafting of household items out of wood, metals, and textiles. The Greene brothers were deeply committed to the use of craftsmanship in architecture and furniture design during their twenty-one-year joint architectural practice in Pasadena, California. They were also influenced by Japanese domestic architecture and the wooden houses of Switzerland. These interests came together in their exquisite bungalows.
Early Life and Training.
Born in Cincinnati in 1868 and 1870, respectively, Charles and Henry Greene grew up in Saint Louis. They attended a high school sponsored by Washington University, where they received training in handcraftsmanship. From 1888 to 1891 they were trained in the Beaux Arts tradition at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. They established their firm, Greene and Greene, in Pasadena in 1893.
The Bungalow Style.
By the 1900s the Greenes' practice was flourishing. Their house designs increasingly took on an open, Japanese feeling that harmonized with the surrounding environment. They also...

Le Baron Jenney, William 1832-1907
Leader of the Chicago School.
Trained as an engineer, William Le Baron Jenney became one of the most influential architects of his time. With his knowledge of structural engineering, he was the first architect to build tall buildings. He and his students, who became known as the Chicago school, used iron and, later, steel skeletons to support their buildings. In time they stopped trying to adapt traditional styles and began to design the exteriors of their buildings to reveal the underlying structure. Jenney's influence on modern architecture came by way of the men who trained and worked under him: Louis Sullivan, Martin Roche, William Holabird, and Daniel Hudson Burnham were the nucleus of the Chicago school.
Early Life and Training.
Jenney was born in Fairhaven, Massachusetts, in 1832, the son of the owner of a fleet of whaling ships. After studying engineering for two years at the Lawrence Scientific School of Harvard University, he joined the California Gold Rush of 1849 and then helped to build a railroad in Panama. He entered the Ecole Centrales des Arts et Manufactures in Paris in 1853, graduating three years later. In 1861 Jenney joined the Union army as an engineer, becoming a major and serving on the staffs of generals Ulysses S. Grant and William Tecumseh Sherman.

Maybeck, Bernard 1862-1957
Eclectic Style.
Bernard Maybeck's eclecticism made him unique in American architecture. In what many consider his best building, the First Church of Christ, Scientist (1910), in Berkeley, California, Maybeck drew on design elements of Byzantine, Romanesque, Gothic, Renaissance, Japanese, and Chinese architecture. A free spirit, he inscribed the initials of his future wife in a monogram that ran around the top of one of his early buildings. He designed his own clothes, including trousers with a high waist that served as a vest.
Early Life and Training.
Maybeck was born in New York City in 1862 to German immigrants. His mother wanted Maybeck to become an artist, but he did poorly in school and joined his father as an apprentice wood-carver. At eighteen he went to Paris as an apprentice in furniture design. The shop was across the street from the Ecole des Beaux Arts; this exposure led him to become fascinated with architecture, and he enrolled in the school. From his years in Paris came Maybeck's love of classic Greek, Romanesque, and Gothic forms.
Graduating from the Ecole des Beaux Arts in 1886, Maybeck returned to New York and joined the architectural firm Carrere and Hastings. In 1888 Maybeck moved to Kansas City, Missouri, and formed a...

Sullivan, Louis 1856-1924
Chicago's Premier Architect.
While not recognized in his own time as a pioneer of modern architecture, Louis Henri Sullivan enjoyed the admiration of his peers during his years as Chicago's premier architect. He was one of the first architects in the late nineteenth century to struggle to free the profession from its adherence to styles of the past, to decoration for its own sake, to masking the functions of buildings in an effort to emphasize their surface effects. His dictum "form follows function" subsumed aesthetics to structure without sacrificing elegance. This dictum became the rallying cry of modern architects, beginning with Sullivan's most famous student, Frank Lloyd Wright. Sullivan's most important work took place between 1880 and 1905, after which he sank into obscurity. Later his reputation was restored by American and European architects who pointed out that Sullivan was the progenitor of architectural modernism. The great American architectural critic Lewis Mumford called him "the [Walt] Whitman of American architecture." The American Institute of Architects awarded Sullivan its...

Tiffany, Louis Comfort 1848-1933
Decorator to the Wealthy.
Louis Comfort Tiffany began his career in the late nineteenth century as what today would be called an interior decorator. While helping wealthy clients coordinate the furniture, wallpaper, tapestries, carpets, and light fixtures in their new homes, Tiffany became interested in the decorative possibilities of leaded-glass windows. Rejecting etched and painted glass, he experimented with colored glass. He found most colored glass too dull for his tastes, so he hired chemists to develop richer and more vibrant colors. He also experimented with different types of glass and with double panes. Tiffany's daring techniques resulted in masterful designs that used light as an active element in a way that was previously unimaginable. Tiffany also experimented with multicolored glass in mosaics, designing large, inlaid murals for the Curtis Publishing Company in Philadelphia and for the National Theater in Mexico City; on the latter project twenty men worked for more than fifteen months to produce two hundred of the three-foot-square panels required for construction.

Wright, Frank Lloyd 1867-1959
Frank Lloyd Wright was one of America's—and the world's—most innovative and creative architects. He began his sixty-six-year career copying past styles and went on to play an important part in the establishment of modern architecture. Wright experimented with steel and concrete cantilevers and poured concrete; he was one of the first architects to see the aesthetic value of concrete blocks. He designed buildings of custom-cast blocks with patterns. He also introduced open planning, creating spaces that flowed into each other rather than separating them into distinct rooms. The critic Lewis Mumford said that Wright "altered the inner rhythm of the modern building." Wright was also interested in the creative possibilities of the machine and frequently used factory-manufactured products in his buildings.
Early Life and Training.
Wright was born in Richland Center, Wisconsin, in 1867. His mother, who wanted her son to become an architect, began...

Bragging about the speed of his new Model 10 car, automaker William "Billy" Durant explained in 1908 that his car was for "men with real red blood who don't like to eat dust."
Old-time vaudevillians Gus Edwards and Vincent Bryan captured the nation's mood with their hit 1905 song "In My Merry Oldsmobile "—"It Glides! It Romps!! It Gallops!!!"
Ford's racing cars, the Arrow and 999, with their eighty-horsepower engines, went so fast that they had a tendency to take to the air. Inventor Henry Ford described the experience in October 1902: "Going over Niagara Falls would have been but a pastime after a ride in one of them."
Charles Dana Gibson, the illustrator who created the Gibson Girl, continued to be surprised by the notoriety of his heroine. "If I hadn't seen it in the papers," he said in 1906, "I should never have known that there was such a thing as a Gibson Girl."
Henry M. Leland explained his philosophy of car design in 1902: "There always was and there always will be conflict between good and good enough … one must sweat blood for a chance to produce a superior product."
Commentator Robert Sloss announced in Outing in 1909 that it was time to recognize that "woman not only can do but has done with the automobile everything of which man can...

Porsche Tuner Uwe Gemballa "Missing", Shadow Company Established
Filed under: Luxury Cars & Autos, Crimes and Misdemeanors
It wasn't so long ago – just a matter of weeks, really – that Gemballa had one of the best names in the business. And that business was tuning Porsches, among other exotic automobiles. But that was before the company's founder and chief Uwe Gemballa dropped off the radar, and things began to unravel in his absence.
The initial reports began surfacing last week, indicating that Uwe Gemballa had gone missing while on a trip to Johannesburg, South Africa. The reports seemed credible enough, as Jo'burg is known as one of the most dangerous cities in the world, where kidnapping is commonplace and violent crimes the order of the day. But while German authorities and Interpol began coordinating with their counterparts in South Africa, things started getting a little shady.
First came reports that the authorities had raided the Gemballa headquarters and seized the cars on the premises. Now further reports indicate that shortly before his disappearance, Uwe set up a second company with his 79-year-old mother as the sole shareholder, and granted his wife power of attorney to declare the principle company insolvent. The plot keeps thickening, and we doubt this will be the last we've heard of Gemballa and his trouble with the law.

"Clean and comfortable"
We were in Knoxville on business for a couple of days, and just needed a good night's sleep and a place to hang our clothes up. Baymont Inn met all of our expectations.Autentične Hotels.com recenzije gostiju
"Great Staff & Close to Shopping"
We enjoyed our stay at the Baymont. The staff were very friendly, welcoming and efficient. The room was clean and the bed was very comfortable. The breakfast area was clean and well stocked. I unfortunately left my flat iron in our room :( as I had left it by the window to cool off before packing. But otherwise the stay was great!Autentične Hotels.com recenzije gostiju
Stayed in much betterAutentične Hotels.com recenzije gostiju
"Convenient Location"
Outside the room air conditioner not being able to get our room cool enough our first night and the guests having to re-stock all the breakfast items in the morning (make coffee, get milk, refill syrup, change orange juice) it was not all that bad. Clean hotel and right next to nice restaurants. Would consider staying again!!!Autentične Hotels.com recenzije gostiju
"Missing a few basics"
This was an adequate hotel. The beds were not as comfortable as others we stayed in recently. We told the hotel we had 3 adults but we only got 2 towels and 1 facecloth. We checked in late so we really didn't notice until we began to take showers. That seems like a very basic element of good hospitality. The location was very convenient to the interstate […] though.

It was okAutentične Hotels.com recenzije gostiju
Was in room 206 sink was clogged so they put us in 210 and the bathtub looked like it had been misses there was a ring on the side of the tub like someone had set a bottle of something on it I wiped it off and there was black under the overflow the tub itself was stained and needed a good cleaning the front desk was very nice to move us from 206 to […] 210.

"Nice hotel for the weary traveler"
After spending four nights in a motel in rural Arkansas the Baymont Suites was a nice change. Very modern with all the amenities you could need. Friendly accommodating staff. Would recommend.Autentične Expedia recenzije gostiju
"convenient location (for us anyway!)"
Overall hotel was clean, staff was very friendly. However we did experience an issue with the fridge in the room being loud. We mentioned it to a member of the staff who offered to move us to a different room. We did not want this as we did not want to have to take the time to move all of our belongings. They offered then to have it fixed or exchanged […] with a different one. This did not happen so the 2nd night we just unplugged it. I spoke to the general mgr who arranged for us to receive a one night refund which was very kindly and promptly handled with her help through Expedia. Would we stay there again? We would. Only other complaint was inadequate seating for the continental breakfast area. Only 5 tables offered on a Saturday, BUT on Sunday there were several more added.

"Great Location in Knoxville"
One bedroom with King Bed. Room was way to small, cramped and dusiy/dirty in tub. The ottoman was so dirty that it looked like some put "dirty shoes" on top and it was never vacuumed. Small vanity area was do dark and not enough light in bathing area also. Dirty, filthy bathtub. The mattress was "squeaky and hard as a rock". The rooms had just been […] painted and you could smell the paint and cheap carpet. No mobile reception at all for AT&T users. The hotel staff were all so nice and helpful though it looked like not enough employees were there. Maybe mgmt should not be so greedy and hire more help.

Place was generally what I expected but was under construction and it was very loud at times....no rest for the weary!Autentične Hotels.com recenzije gostiju
"Great value"
The hotel is conveniently located, close to many restaurants, shopping, and easy access to the Interstate. Other than a serious condensation leak from the AC unit that soaked the adjacent carpet area and led to a dripping sound during the night, all elements of the room worked well.Autentične Expedia recenzije gostiju

"Amenities too cheap for comfort"
#1: The free breakfast on Sunday was a total laugh. It was only 9:00 and there was no waffle mix, no biscuits, no gravy, no meats..in fact there were 5 boiled eggs...WHO eats boiled eggs for breakfast in the south? Some lady did as she took all of them, hungry I guess. Only whole milk available - lots of seniors can't handle that. #2: The pool area […] only had 1 table and 1 clean towel. #3: The bathroom faucet was not properly attached to the counter and wanted to come out. Turned on the hot water and it made the white washcloth turn brown...yuk. The plumbing was so bad the toilet had to be flushed a minimum of twice for each use. #4: Free internet was hard to connect with and would only last minutes. #5: The coffee packets in the room come with only 1 sugar. This cheapness appears to be an attempt to save money but not worth it. This was our first stay at a Baymont and last. Would not recommend, especially with all the competition around.

The stay was very nice. Normal breakfast options: cereals, fruit, yogurt, but they also had some great biscuits and gravy as well as a make-it-yourself waffle station. There was a bit of construction going on, I think they were redoing some of the rooms, but other than some light debris in the hallway you wouldn't know. People were nice and everything […] was clean. Would stay again and recommend to others. Pročitajte višeAutentične Expedia recenzije gostiju
Facility was under Renovation. It was not in great shape but the room was ok for a low budget hotel. There was caution tape across the front of the building due to overhang work. The MOD was very friendly and helpful.Autentične Hotels.com recenzije gostiju
"Nice hotel but..."
The hotel was nice, but the room smelled smoky. We had a third floor room and was told the smoking rooms were on the second floor. They offered to move us to another room, but we just stayed where we were. The staff were friendly. They could use a few more tables in the breakfast area, especially when there is the morning rush for breakfast.Autentične Hotels.com recenzije gostiju
"Nice hotel."
Clean hotel. Close to interstate and restaurants. Helpful staff. Beds are pillows are ok. Breakfast was awesome compared to many hotels. Included waffles, eggs, yogurt, pastries, bagels, cereal + biscuits and gravy! Overall good value.Autentične Expedia recenzije gostiju
"Good location for access to Smoky Mountains"
Great stopover on the way to Blue Ridge Parkway and Smoky Mountains. Lots of great restaurants in very close proximity.Autentične Expedia recenzije gostiju
"Great value in Knoxville"
For the price, this is an excellent hotel. The rooms were clean, and in walking distance to at least 6 casual dining restaurants. It's right on I-40, so it's perfect for travellers crossing the country. My only issue was that the room was a bit damp which could be noticed in the carpet and sheets. Other than that, it was pretty awesome.Autentične Hotels.com recenzije gostiju
My room was not ready until after 6:00 pm. Breakfast was constantly running out of utensils, food, and supplies with no one there to refill items.Autentične Hotels.com recenzije gostiju
"Stay Away"
The room was not that clean. It was next to the elevator and ice machine. Had to go 3 times to reception to get room key working. Waited 15 min to check in. Elevator was filthy. Would not recommend to anyone.Autentične Expedia recenzije gostiju
"Nice hotel"
Nice hotel with great amenities. My sole complaint was the shower curtain was cloth, which had mildew and smelled bad. Otherwise the room was clean & great.Autentične Hotels.com recenzije gostiju
"A wedding away"
Visiting from SC after rounghly 4hrs inwas ready to check in. The room was clean and the staff was friendly. The surrounding area was safe and offered plenty of options to dine out. The hotel was only 12 minutes away from the location of the wedding which was definitely a big plus!Autentične Hotels.com recenzije gostiju
"The key to this story"
Everything was really good about the motel except for the fact that when we went to go to dinner we had went next door to our other room and come back to find that our room had been locked and the key would not work after almost 4 hours of trying to get this key situation we finally were able to get in the room had to go to dinner in socks next door […] because the lady at the desk would not use the main key to let us in We tried several times to explain to her that the master key would let us in the room she would not accept this and could not come to terms to let us in went to dinner in socks because she would not use the master key to let us in incredible Pročitajte višeAutentične Hotels.com recenzije gostiju
"Close to Interstate"

"not worth the money!"
Our non-smoking room smelled of smoke. The AC unit had just been thrown together and made a rumbling noise thru the night - we had to turn it off just to get some sleep. Breakfast was slim. When we complained the next day, she just smiled and said 'sorry...but you are checking out today'.Autentične Hotels.com recenzije gostiju
"Budget-friendly price for AWESOME quality"
My daughter and I stayed 2 nights here during our mom/daughter road trip. I picked it because it was close to the interstate and cheap but was BLOWN AWAY by the quality of the hotel. Very clean, very friendly staff. The room was huge, the king-size bed was super comfortable (5 big fluffy pillows!), large flat-screen TV in the room + microwave and mini […] fridge. The bathroom was decent size as well. We will definitely stay here again if we are ever traveling through Knoxville again. Pročitajte višeAutentične Hotels.com recenzije gostiju
"Good for a night, not for a week"
The bed was comfortable as well as the 5 pillows. My a/c worked well as long as it was set at 60 degrees. I had to exchange my room keys every night due to them not working no matter where I kept them. ( yes I did not store them with my cell or other cards). The breakfast never changes. It's good if you like carbs like waffles everyday. The staff was […] very nice and helpful. I just needed to use them more often than I would like. I did not realize there is an outdoor pool, but NO hot tub. I never stayed at a place that didn't have a hot tub if they had a pool. I did really like the French vanilla coffee pack in the room.

The biggest shots in Lakers playoff history
Image 1 of 35
36. Magic Johnson vs. Denver Nuggets, Game 1 first round, April 23, 1987.( Mike Powell / Allsport )
The setting: With the first half about to end, Magic rebounded an air ball by the Nuggets' Bill Hanzlik, took a couple of steps to his right and made a one-handed shot from 80 feet.
The significance: The three-pointer put the Lakers ahead 82-53 at halftime. The Forum crowd stood cheering for a minute as the teams left the court. The 82 points tied a playoff record and the Lakers cruised to a 128-95 victory. "We wouldn't show up Saturday [for Game 2] if the league would let us," said Nuggets Coach Doug Moe, who knew his team had no chance to win the series. He was right. The Lakers swept the Nuggets in three games and went 15-3 in the postseason on the way to the title. Note: All captions in this photo gallery were written by Hans Tesselaar. |

What are the chances that the Sheriff's little buddy, that he has anointed and blessed as his successor shall be standing joined at the hip to his master and benefactor at the festivities this afternoon?

| Posted by John C. | (Salisbury, NC)This side step looks great and very functional with the ability to move the step where ever works best for you. The installation wasn't the easiest thing I have done. If you are used to work with Unistrut, it will help. I wish the nuts would have had springs on them. Installation would be faster if you remove one tire to enable you to slide the rail on the nuts.

| Posted by D. James D. | (Ada, MI)The product was everything I expected - solid, good looking, and much easier to get my 70 year old creaking bones up into my Chevy 2500 HD - that truck felt like it was a half mile high sometimes. My wife is a little itty bitty, only 4' 11" tall and very hard for her before. Installation, however needs to be planned for. Outwardly, all you have to do is remove 4 body bolts (2 each side) and reinsert through L-brackets to mount these steps. At least on my truck I think they bathed each bolt in Lock-tite. They specifically recommend NOT using an impact wrench, so that leaves hand socket tools. One bolt was especially bad so I ended up using a breaker bar with a 24" long pipe on it to increase the torque 3 fold. Without the pipe, I just ended dragging my body under the vehicle - LOL. Once you have the bolts out, you just put them through the included L-bracket and re-insert into the body, just don't fully tighten them at that point. They go back in much easier then they came out. One thing the instructions don't mention is bolt size - G.M. is all metric and these body bolts are 21 MM (or 13/16") - both of those sizes work fine. All that remains is to put the 3/4" bolts supplied through these L-brackets to mount the pipe steps and tighten them down - then final tighten the body bolts. If you plan to adorn your pipe steps with paint, do so before installation (I did) as it's much easier that way.

"I only spent one night at the Hanna House—during New Bern's famous ghostwalk—and I enjoyed every minute. The room was beautifully decorated, spacious, comfortable, and with windows all around...but the breakfast alone is worth the stay! Joe and Camille are kind, thoughtful, and gracious hosts, and you'll no doubt feel just as welcomed by your fellow guests. "

Lee: Civil War General and Grant, Lee, Sherman: Civil War 2 Generals too me. Although in both the video option only appears during a clash between opposing units or artillery.

Sorry, I did a quick search for the demo and that's some of what I found. As for your question about any suggestions I might have for older computers, can't really say I'd be of much help. To date I've only owned and played a grand total of four Civil War themed computer games. Two, the second and fouth to be more precise, I mentioned in my initial post. The first one was called Civil War BattleGame I got back when 5 1/2" disks were the disks to have. Very basic game with the graphics requiring a CGA or better video card. Graphics themseves were C for a calvary unit, A for artillery, I for infantry, and either S or G for ship or gunboat (it's been well over a decade since I've even been able to play the game so I don't remember exactly what letter was used for the gunboats for the Shiloh battle). Little dots all over the screen for where you could move, astericks for trees, and I think either O or equal marks for water. Third game I owned was Sid Meier's Antietam, but it's been several years since I last played it. So I don't remember it being RTS, but I'll take your word for it. As for the other two, both are for Windows 95 or Windows 3.1, both developed by a company called Impressions and produced by a company called Sierra. Don't know what other folks think of them, but I like them. They are turn based, I normally play against the computer and after I get done moving all my pieces, or attacking with my pieces, I have to wait for the computer to do the same thing. Both use Mort Kunstler's artwork for credits before you even get into the game. A feature I like of both is that they have a kind of mini encyclopedia on aspects of the war. It's pretty much geared at folks who don't know much about the war and kids who are studying the war in school, especially the latter. Civil War 2 also lets you create your own battles so you can make up something that never occured during the war (like say the Army of Northern Virginia laying siege to Boston), alternate versions of actual battles (maybe having Picket's Brigade stike somewhere else at Gettysburg rather than where they actually struck), or actual battles that might not have made it into the game (like say the Battle of Roanoke Island, something I've been looking at doing). Again, I'm probably not someone to take advice from on the games as I've played so few. What I like and what someone else likes are completely different. And I'm not so sure if you could find Robert E. Lee: Civil War General or Grant, Lee, Sherman: Civil War 2 Generals without hitting ebay or someplace that might sell them used. I was lucky to get the first one for either my birthday or Christmas about '96 or '97 and the sequel I got from a bargin bin at the local Staples a few years ago. And even that was a bit of a hunt.
