Biologist Devotes Life to Island Wolves
Mar 28, 2003 — It's been a cold winter this year, especially for Rolf Peterson. Peterson is a wildlife biologist who studies wolves and moose on Isle Royale. Every year starting in January Peterson spends several weeks on the island at the northernmost spot in Michigan surrounded by the frigid waters of Lake Superior. The environment is harsh, but Peterson says it's the best time to observe wild animals, and as the Great Lakes Radio Consortium's Gretchen Millich reports, as his research has uncovered some of our most basic knowledge about predators and their prey.

Not only are vines great to look at, but they definitely serve a purpose in backyards. Vines can add height and fullness to any garden with their climbing antics. You can train most vines to climb up trellises, posts and anything else with a little height!

Here's one climber that's definitely easy on the eyes! Black-eyed Susan vine grows as an annual. Its flowers superficially resemble black-eyed Susan, the popular garden perennial. The vine has thin green stems, which wrap around trellises or other plant stems.
You say "clem-aye-tis," I say "clem-aah-tis." It really doesn't matter how you pronounce it, one word best describes this vine-dazzling! Clematis grows up more than out, which means you get more flowers in less yard space. And they're actually easy to grow and train, which makes them perfect for decorating a mailbox, lamppost, arbor or trellis.
For a classic with a twist, you'll love climbing roses. These beauties have everything you love about roses and more. You get the same gorgeous, often fragrant flowers, but thanks to the plants' long, pliable stems, the show can adorn all sorts of supports, from trellises to fences to arbors.
This robust climber produces tiny green flowers in panicles from the leaf axils in summer; clusters of edible fruit follow. For some gardeners, though this plant's main attraction is its leaves. In any event, grow this vine over a trellis or fence.
This enchanting vine is grown as an annual. Related to the morning glory, moonflower vine has big, trumpet-shaped bright white flowers and deep green leaves. The attractive white flowers will emerge at dusk and last until dawn. No wonder it's called the moonflower!

Early Christian missionaries discovered passionflowers in South America in the 1500s. They named the bloom for the way its intricate parts can symbolize elements of the passion of Christ. The lacy fringe of petals represents a halo or crown of thorns, the five stamens are the five wounds, the three stigmas are the nails from the cross and the 10 petals are the 10 most faithful of Christ's apostles.
Some people call these flowers "maypop" because their fruit makes a popping sound when pinched or stepped on.

The runner bean is grown for its showy pea-shaped flowers. It is a twining climber, which may need to be trained up a trellis or arbor with netting or string. This vine is fast-growing and will attract butterflies and hummingbirds to your backyard garden.

This fragrant flower is easy to grow and provides a season's worth of cut flowers. In fact, sweet peas perform best if you harvest bouquets often. Like garden peas, sweet peas prefer the cooler weather of spring and early summer, gradually declining under hot August skies.

There's nothing like a blooming garland of wisteria to add romance to a spring backyard. Long dangling clusters of blooms make this woody vine a favorite choice to adorn arbors or dress up a doorway. Its honey-sweet fragrance makes it even more alluring.
Growing wisteria does take a bit of care however. Make sure to provide ample support for the vine's heavy limbs, and prune it each year after flowering to within five or six buds of the main branch.
As its name suggests, the morning glory is most glorious during the early hours when its trumpet-shaped flowers open to greet the new day. But its beauty is fleeting...the blossoms last only one day and wither by mid-afternoon.
These easy-to-grow annuals are probably the most popular flowering vine in North America. They climb just about anything - fences, trellises, arbors, mailboxes, lampposts...you name it. This makes it ideal for quickly masking unsightly views.

Nothing dominates the American landscape like corn.
Sprawling across the Midwest and Great Plains, the American Corn Belt is a massive thing. You can drive from central Pennsylvania all the way to western Nebraska, a trip of nearly 1,500 miles, and witness it in all its glory. No other American crop can match the sheer size of corn.
So why do we, as a nation, grow so much corn?
The main reason is that corn is such a productive and versatile crop, responding to investments in research, breeding and promotion. It has incredibly high yields compared with most other U.S. crops, and it grows nearly anywhere in the country, especially thriving in the Midwest and Great Plains. Plus, it can be turned into a staggering array of products. Corn can be used for food as corn flour, cornmeal, hominy, grits or sweet corn. It can be used as animal feed to help fatten our hogs, chickens and cattle. And it can be turned into ethanol, high-fructose corn syrup or even bio-based plastics.
No wonder we grow so much of the stuff.
But it is important to distinguish corn the crop from corn the system. As a crop, corn is highly productive, flexible and successful. It has been a pillar of American agriculture for decades, and there is no doubt that it will be a crucial part of American agriculture in the future. However, many are beginning to question corn as a system: how it dominates American agriculture compared with other farming systems; how in America it is used primarily for ethanol, animal feed and high-fructose corn syrup; how it consumes natural resources; and how it receives preferential treatment from our government.
The current corn system is not a good thing for America for four major reasons.
The American corn system is inefficient at feeding people. Most people would agree that the primary goal of agriculture should be feeding people. While other goals—especially producing income, creating jobs and fostering rural development—are critically important too, the ultimate success of any agricultural system should be measured in part by how well it delivers food to a growing population. After all, feeding people is why agriculture exists in the first place.
Although U.S. corn is a highly productive crop, with typical yields between 140 and 160 bushels per acre, the resulting delivery of food by the corn system is far lower. Today's corn crop is mainly used for biofuels (roughly 40 percent of U.S. corn is used for ethanol) and as animal feed (roughly 36 percent of U.S. corn, plus distillers grains left over from ethanol production, is fed to cattle, pigs and chickens). Much of the rest is exported. Only a tiny fraction of the national corn crop is directly used for food for Americans, much of that for high-fructose corn syrup.
Yes, the corn fed to animals does produce valuable food to people, mainly in the form of dairy and meat products, but only after suffering major losses of calories and protein along the way. For corn-fed animals, the efficiency of converting grain to meat and dairy calories ranges from roughly 3 percent to 40 percent, depending on the animal production system in question. What this all means is that little of the corn crop actually ends up feeding American people. It's just math. The average Iowa cornfield has the potential to deliver more than 15 million calories per acre each year (enough to sustain 14 people per acre, with a 3,000 calorie-per-day diet, if we ate all of the corn ourselves), but with the current allocation of corn to ethanol and animal production, we end up with an estimated 3 million calories of food per acre per year, mainly as dairy and meat products, enough to sustain only three people per acre. That is lower than the average delivery of food calories from farms in Bangladesh, Egypt and Vietnam.

The year's first monstrous prep dunk comes from Pennsylvania
Cameron Smith at Prep Rally12 hrs agoWatch out below. Here comes Elijah Minnie.
The Lincoln Park High (Midland, Pa.) senior registered the first seismic dunk of the prep basketball season with this slam, brought to Prep Rally's attention by USA Today, during Saturday's 85-31 rout of Sto-Rox High (Stowe Township, Pa.).
After first looking for a perimeter pass, Minnie ball faked and cut inside, slicing between two Sto-Rox defenders before elevating above a third Sto-Rox player, whose attempt to defend the slam only provided for a more active backdrop of a would-be poster.
The dunk was filthy, and the final score was outrageous. Only time will tell if Minnie and Lincoln Park can keep this up, but they're off to one heck of a start.

Connecticut receiver pulls down remarkable one-handed TD catch
Cameron Smith at Prep Rally15 hrs agoWe've seen great highlight-reel touchdown catches all season long from across the nation, and many of them have revolved around a star receiver finding a way to pull in a one-handed grab. Usually, those grabs force the receiver to lose his balance and topple over.
Not Wethersfield High (Wethersfield, Conn.) wideout Whit DeVaux, whose catch above got his team started toward a 16-14 victory. The game that featured this highlight was played a day before Thanksgiving, but video of the catch didn't surfaced until Friday evening.
Locked in a tight game against rival Newington, DeVaux was sent on a deep inside slant route. He blew by the Newington defensive back assigned to cover him, but Wethersfield quarterback Matthew Sanzaro overthrew DeVaux's route by just a touch.
Lydia Ko wins first tourney as a pro, 16-year-old relates to countrywoman Lorde
Cameron Smith at Prep Rally18 hrs agoLydia Ko won her first tournament as a professional athlete on Sunday, capturing the Swinging Skirts Ladies Masters title in Taiwan. Afterward, the New Zealand native reflected on how her transition to being a professional has been kept in context by the remarkable musical success of fellow Kiwi Lorde.
Prep Rally has written about Ko before, with the teenage sensation already reaching the heights that many had predicted for former women's golf sensation Michelle Wie. Ko won the Canadian Open in both 2012 and 2013, at age 15 and 16 respectively, Her success on the course inspired an exemption from the LPGA to allow a player younger than 18 to compete on its tour full time. That exemption was passed in late October. Ko won her first tournament just over a month later.
Brett Favre on state prep football title: 'I can't say it's like a Super Bowl, but it's pretty close'
Cameron Smith at Prep Rally21 hrs agoNFL legend Brett Favre is a champion again, and he says that it feels almost as good as winning the Super Bowl.
Interviewed after the Oak Grove (Miss.) High football team won the first state title in school history, the team's offensive coordinator said the Warriors' Class 6A crown was almost as satisfying an accomplishment as the Super Bowl XXXI title he won while playing quarterback for Green Bay.
"I can't say it's like a Super Bowl, but it's pretty close," Favre, sporting a Grizzly Adams-style playoff beard, told the Associated Press. "It really is. It's a different type of feeling, but I couldn't be more proud of these guys."
Brett Favre could win another championship Friday, this time from the sidelines
Cameron Smith at Prep Rally3 days agoDon't look now, but Brett Favre might be an exceptional football coach.
Now in his second season as the offensive coordinator for Oak Grove (Miss.) High, the legendary NFL passer has helped lead his team to the first state championship game berth in school history. After being recruited into the role by Oak Grove head coach Nevil Barr — a longtime friend of Favre — the former Packers great truly hit his coaching stride in his second season, transforming Oak Grove quarterback Kirk McCarty into an offensive force.
In his senior season, McCarty has thrown for 3,782 yards and 42 touchdowns, leading Oak Grove to a 13-1 record. Most recently, he passed for 412 yards in Oak Grove's 45-14 dismantling of Meridian High in a Mississippi High School Athletic Association Class 6A state semifinal.
High School Haiku: The key to a coach's broken heart? Little Debbie snacks
Cameron Smith at Prep Rally4 days agoIt's been an eventful week for Alabama football coach Nick Saban.
First, his Crimson Tide squad was denied a spot in the SEC title game — and a possible national title berth — by losing to cross-state rival Auburn. Days later, Saban was back on the recruiting trail, visiting with one of the nation's most highly regarded offensive lineman.
Prep Rally's Ben Rohrbach touched on the scene that unfolded when Saban made an in-home visit to Rivals100 recruit Cameron Robinson in West Monroe, La. on Tuesday. The Oatmeal Cream Pie (or OCPs, to the initiated) visual was too good to let go with just one mention, so here's our own brief poetic take on Saban and Robinson's snack cake dalliance.
Here's "You down with OCP? You know me."

Mississippi cheerleaders host best insult of the season on playoff run-through sign
Cameron Smith at Prep Rally4 days agoThe sign you see above was used by Walnut (Miss.) High before its state playoff game against Coahoma Agricultural High in Clarksdale. It was brought to Prep Rally's attention by USA Today, and originally hit Twitter thanks to user @KingSedlar.
With Walnut entering the game as heavy favorites, the school's cheerleading squad decided it was safe using the traditional pregame run-through sign as an outlet to poke fun at Coahoma.
Duck Dynasty star Sadie Robertson drills game winning shot in Louisiana
Cameron Smith at Prep Rally4 days agoThe Robertson family of Ouachita, Louisiana is best known for being the stars of the A&E reality show Ducky Dynasty. The wild hunters have captured the nation's attention and their checkbooks, with a wide variety of Duck Dynasty memorabilia now available at a Wal-Mart near you.
Still, the Robertson family is like most in America and leads normal lives that include, yes, prep sports. That was never more apparent than Tuesday night, when Sadie Robertson, the daughter of Willie and Korie Robertson, connected on a game-winning shot for the girls basketball team for Ouachita Christian School.
Deceptive trick play TD proves to be catalyst in Michigan state title game
Cameron Smith at Prep Rally4 days agoA Michigan team captured the Division 5 state title on Saturday thanks to the most subtle — and perhaps the most clever — trick play of the year.
With the game tied 7-7, West Catholic (Grand Rapids) huddled around the sideline and appeared to deliberate between attempting a 36-yard field goal or taking another offensive snap against Menominee. And when West Catholic trotted back on to the field it lined up in field goal formation.
But, as noted by the Detroit Free-Press and MaxPreps, there was just one trick: a solitary West Catholic player was sitting just inside the sideline, waiting for the play to start.
Newtown football team's magical ride comes to an end
Cameron Smith at Prep Rally5 days agoIn the end, it wasn't to be.
After earning an undefeated regular season and the top seed in the state playoffs, the Newtown High football team fell short of a berth in the Connecticut Interscholastic Athletic Conference Class LL state semifinals. The 35-33 loss to Ridgefield High (Ridgefield, Conn.) ends the Nighthawks' hopes of a state championship, which they could have competed for one day before the anniversary of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shootings.

Kentucky says Four Loko is a Loko too many [Food and dining]
The Beatles, The Jeffersons, and Four Loko - all good things must come to an end. So far five states have banned the drink and the number is rising as North Carolina is expected to join the ranks, many cities have enforced restrictions while waiting for their state to follow suit, and soon the FDA is expected to regulate the issue nationwide. On Monday, Kentucky Alcoholic Beverage Control sent a letter to manufacturers, distributors, and retailers asking them to voluntarily discontinue their relationships with the drink and they are required to send ABC a response within 15 days explaining steps that will be taken to get alcoholic energy drinks off the shelves. However, Four Loko is not the only drink being targeted, and these beverages, along with their controversy, have been around a while.
Four Loko, if you haven't been around a 20-something partier lately, is a 24 proof drink that contains caffeine in its brightly colored can just shy of 24 ounces. The FDA says that mixing alcohol and caffeine is dangerous because the caffeine makes a person feel less intoxicated so they are likelier to consume too much alcohol. Before the days of Four Loko, similar drinks like Sparks were targeted. Controversy of this magnitude has stirred up because hundreds of college students across the country have gone to hospitals due to over consumption, and nicknames like "liquid cocaine" and "blackout in a can" doesn't serve its cause very well. Amid pressure, MillerCoors, the maker of Sparks, removed caffeine and other "energy ingredients" from their recipe in 2008. Looking back on when Sparks existed in its original formula, the only people I personally saw with a can were 19 or 20-years-old.
Caffeine and alcohol are a popular combination (Redbull and vodka, anyone?) at bars, but you'd be hard pressed to find a Four Loko anywhere other than a store. The product is usually sold at liquor stores and the FDA has joined the conversation because it believes that the drink is being marketed to a young age group and its taste, that of melted Smarties candies, definitely makes it seem more appealing to a younger crowd (Phusion, the company that makes Four Loko, says that they support responsible drinking, of course). Lawmakers say these companies infringe on a congressional act moderating the marketing of these products.
Indiana liquor stores have independently decided not to sell Four Loko although it is still technically legal in the state. Southern Indiana Four Loko-lovers can hop across the bridge and stock up in Louisville where it's still available. The contradiction in regulations in state border regions is an issue that has arisen with other products like the marijuana-substitute K2, which is currently still sold in New Albany while being illegal in Louisville (the New Albany city council is currently trying to ban K2). This could be why Kentucky has quickly followed Indiana's suit in this effectual ban. The ban applies to all caffeinated alcoholic beverages, not just Four Loko.
Most people who have had a night out with Four Loko, or a similar product, have stories of obliteration, and most people who has been around someone drunk of the stuff have stories of frustration and annoyance of dealing with young partiers that get very drunk very fast, and it's only the beginning. However, the general reaction around Kentuckiana has been one of upset that the government is so restricting, or ridicule. Most of the #fourloko Twitter feed from this region talked about stocking fridges like it's some kind of an apocalypse.
It is clearly a matter of time until all alcoholic energy drinks will go the way of Sparks and the dinosaurs, but there will soon be a new drinking or drug fad that will take over. If jungle juice has proven anything it is that people, especially college-age kids, will find a way to get messed up quickly and satisfy the sweet tooth. As for Four Loko, Phusion has announced that they are reformulating as well and will no longer add any caffeine or similar ingredients to their drink in an attempt to stay afloat.

By Thomas Pope Sports editor
Mark DeSantis is almost at a loss for words to describe his team's nearly flawless record.
"I don't know what to say," the Fayetteville FireAntz coach said. "These guys, they just don't quit. It's unbelievable."
The Columbus Cottonmouths might have been thinking the same thing. Fresher after enjoying a couple of days off, they came into the Crown Coliseum on Saturday to face an Antz team playing its third game in as many nights.
But after struggling to overcome early signs of fatigue, the FireAntz showed the grit, feistiness and offensive pressure that has quickly become their trademark. Three third-period goals resulted in a 4-1 win, and Fayetteville retained its place atop the Southern Professional Hockey League standings with a 10-1-0 record.
"I don't know if there was a certain play" that tipped the scales, said Derek Elliott, whose goal at 11:11 of the third was the game winner. "But we knew we needed to stick to our game plan and battle through. We knew if we kept the pedal down and kept getting pucks on net, a big one was going to come - and sure enough, it did.
"It speaks volumes for the group we have in that (dressing) room. It's a great group. Everyone comes to work every day and we get results."
Columbus got the first goal when Jordan Braid scored at 5:02 of the second. Bobby Reed tied it 8 1/2minutes later, then Elliott's goal opened a FireAntz lead they wouldn't relinquinish. Josh McQuade scored his league-leading eighth at 17:25, and Mike Gurtler added the finishing touch with an empty-net score at 18:54 to stretch Fayetteville's winning streak to six games.
The lone fresh player on the FireAntz roster Saturday was goalie Marco Emond, who watched from the bench as the team won a home-and-away pair from Knoxville with rookie Shane Madolora in goal Thursday and Friday nights.
The 15-year pro said he knew he "had to be very focused" with weary teammates in front of him until they shook off the effects the six-plus-hour bus trip home from Knoxville.
"As the game went on, you could see the guys gaining confidence," said Emond, who stopped 30 shots to improve to 7-1-0. "The guys just kept going, knowing that the two points for a every win is very important right now. .
"We know other teams are going to go on winning streaks later on and come close to us, but we're not going to worry about that. We just worry about the two points we're out there to get each night."
The defensemen continued to chip in on the offensive end of the ice, including Tristin Llewellyn, who notched two assists against the Cottonmouths. "Offense comes from defense," he said, "so we're just keeping it simple."
DeSantis said the reason behind his team's success is its ability, and willingness, to adhere to the blueprint he has designed.
"If they stick to the game plan and trust what the system is, it'll always work for us if you believe in it - and these guys believe in it," he said.
"We had our ups and downs in the first period, and I could see were a little fatigued. But then when we got ahead, you saw that killer instinct you want to see. You get up a goal, you want another one and put games away. It was a well-deserved weekend for these guys, just phenomenal."
Fayetteville next plays Thursday at Augusta, then returns home to the Crown on Saturday night to face the only team that has beaten it, Huntsville.

"Good quiet area"
My husband, daughter and I found the hotel very comfortable and in a good location very close to a Tube station. Also, it was one of the hotels that Viator tours will pick you up at. The staff could have been more friendly but were helpful when asked a question. The room was very comfortable and clean. Buffet Breakfast downstairs had lots of choices […] and very good too. The Wifi at the hotel is not the best service; you only get 1 hour per day for 2 devices and it is so slow that it took me an hour just to check my emails one night.

"Great value in an expensive city"
Overall, our stay at the Park International Hotel was great. South Kensington is a wonderful location near shopping (Harrod's!), Kensington Palace and Hyde Park. The best part of this hotel was the buffet breakfast. There is nothing better than having breakfast included with your stay and eliminating the hassle of trying to find it before you start […] sight seeing. Each morning we left the hotel ready for our day! The rooms admittedly were minimalistic, but they did have everything we needed and, let's be honest, you're hardly in your hotel room when you're in Europe! In regards to service, for the most part our experience with the staff was great. We did have one unpleasant encounter with a staff member upon checkout, but were more than happy with the kind and gracious response from management. I'm confident that our incident is not indicative of the hotel's overall customer service and would not for one minute hesitate staying at the Park International Hotel again.

"Small but comfortable"
Room was small, but adequate. Very clean and comfortable bed. Window did not open, but had air conditioning. Breakfast was very good. Bar was OK. dining was nothing to write home about. Not masses of places to eat in immediate area. /Walking distance to museums and Royal Albert Hall, and tube station.Ulasan otentik tamu Hotels.com
"Great location, but the service is spotty"
Liked the area, but the staff was responsive but not very well informed. For example, told us a car service to the airport would be 45 pounds and that we could use a credit card, but neglected to tell us about a 12% "processing fee". Also, the food in the restaurant there was good for breakfast, but mediocre at best at the dinner buffet. Rates a definite […] maybe. Baca selengkapnyaUlasan otentik tamu Hotels.com
"Size Does Matter"
Despite booking a twin room I was only given a single and to add the room was so small you could not even swing a fly round it, never mind a cat! Specific problems round the room:A TV that did not show all the channels that were displayed A TV attached to the wall via a bracket that you have to move the TV out to view. However the TV would only extend […] to a 45 degree angle and made viewing very difficult. A window that did not open Location of the room was above the Central Air Conditioning Units which were very noisy and kept me awake Had to request additional milk so to have more than one cup of coffee. There was no ironing board or trouser press in room. the bathroom was so small, and with the position of the Toilet, the only way you could sit on it was a right angles, making going to the toilet extremely uncomfortable and finally I was extremely disappointed that for a hotel of the Park International Standard, there was no complementary bottle of water.

First of all, location of hotel was great. Safe area of London. Located near V&A, Natural History museum and close to tube stations. Felt very safe.

"Nice But Small"
The room was nice, but small. Both the bedroom and bathroom served there intended purpose and were not a major problem since my wife and I spent most of our time away from the room. One frustration though was that the television cable system would occasionally malfunction and actually turn off. The Internet we ordered would also malfunction allowing […] us on and then shutting down during our sessions. The front desk contacted their provider, Swisscom, and they fixed it, but only temporarily. It malfunctioned the following evening as well. I was pleased that the hotel recognized the issue and did not charge us for Internet for those two evenings. Although it wasn't the hotel's fault, our room was right next to a hotel that was being renovated with scaffolding out in front. It was a bit uncomfortable having workers out on the scaffolding right next to our room while my wife and I got ready for the day. Finally, one person at the front desk, who I seemed to always have to deal with, appeared to be in a constant daze when I asked her questions or requested assistance. She was the one I had to initially deal with regarding the television and internet problem. The other staff members seemed to be very competent. Baca selengkapnyaUlasan otentik tamu Hotels.com

"Nice hotel in convenient location"
Room was on the small side but was clean and served its purpose. Breakfast buffet was a standard selection of eggs, meats and cereals and the service was efficient and friendly. Unfortunately, the front desk staff we interacted with seemed strained to provide anything more than basic information with a half-smile. I may be asking for too much, but a […] "your bill has been prepaid and there are no outstanding charges, thank you for staying with us" would leave a better lasting impression on check out versus the curt "ok" we received.

The staff at the front desk were very cooperative especially when I told one of them, Rosie, that there was a death in the family. Only one problem: when I wanted to call home about that death, the phone in our room did not work for the duration of our stay. But at least we were able to call from the front desk. One more thing: we would have appreciated […] being told about the bank holiday on May 6. A sign on the door to the breakfast room a couple of days before the holiday would have done the trick.

"Close to the Natural History Museum"
We stayed at the Park International for six nights. The room was on the first floor and had large picture windows. The room was very noisy at night so it was hard to sleep. The room was clean and nice linen. I missed having a tub, but the shower was large. We had a refrigerator which was nice. There was a Tesco, a small food mart and grocery store close […] by.

"Do not tell them you will be on your own"
I think the hotel took advantage of the fact that I booked through and expedia offer for a very good discount and put me in a ridiculously small room with no wifi and no outside phone lines, completely unacceptable in a 4-star hotel, which is what I had booked, and thus was obliged to stay for a full week.

Fantastic hotel, room was a little warm and stuffy but all in all very comfortable. Good breakfast although for the price I would have expected more choice.

"Great location for explaring London"
Hotel is newly refurbished and in great shape. Located in a good location (near Gloucester tube ) to explore London. Free wifi in lobby but you had to ask for username and password for each hour you were on. It would be better if the hotel would just make wifi free for all. Breakfast was a treat each morning. Full English or continental--your choice. […] Rooms are somewhat small and beds to match. I am not that tall and my feet hang over the end of bed. Would stay again but try to get a larger bed.

"Room with odd layout"
The hotel is in a great location close to public transportation in a neighborhood that I love. The hotel staff is efficient and friendly. Reception was easy and my room was ready at check-in. The only fault with my stay was the placement of the furniture in my room. It's a long room, but the bed is placed inconveniently. You cannot get to the far bed […] without squeezing between the end of the first bed under the wall-mounted flat screen. I'm clueless about the placement, for they could have moved the furniture to have a space between the bed with a common table with the phone. Baca selengkapnyaUlasan otentik tamu Hotels.com

"Brilliant weekend away hotel"
I used to live in London and so felt very particular about where to stay. This hotel ticked all the boxes. All the staff we met were exceptional - such good customer service, making us feel very well looked after. An example was when we asked for recommendations for somewhere for lunch the following day, the Concierge told us exactly what we wanted […] to know but when we arrived back at the hotel we discovered he had gone to the trouble of photocopying some information and reviews about one particular restaurant. He didn't have to do that - it was a nice touch. The hotel is spotless - and surprisingly quiet for central London. We would stay here again when we visit next time. Breakfast is extremely good with most things you would want available. The location is brilliant - Bus stops taking us directly to Hyde Park Corner were conveniently situated right across the road and Gloucester Road tube a very short walk. Luggage store is secure as well so we felt happy leaving our things on the morning of check out. Baca selengkapnyaUlasan otentik tamu Expedia

Different from the average pet-boarding facility, Paradise 4 Paws has a bone-shaped pool surrounded by more than 20,000 square feet of indoor play area, plush accommodations, and comfy boarding suites. Staff members roam the facility 24/7, playing with animals during the day, tucking them in at night, and performing à la carte services such as grooming, obedience training, health checkups, and canine massage therapy. Paradise 4 Paws has its own training academy, and its pet-care professionals have received pet-first-aid certification from the American Red Cross.
The pet-minded staff cares about pet owners, as well, granting access to the play area's real-time webcams and offering airport parking and transportation.
It's every dog owner's responsibility to clean up after his or her pet. Though that's easy to keep up with on walks, dogs can often transform backyards into danger zones where any step could end up a mess. That's where Doo Care's team comes in. The licensed, bonded, and insured crew pulls up in the company's distinctive green-and-white trucks to clear out poop wherever it may hide in owners' lawns. They can perform this duty as often as twice a week or make one-time visits to prepare yards for a party or a date with the cute garden across the street.
With more than 32 years of experience in dog obedience and behavior training, Wet Nose for Dogs founder Dave Wieczorek promotes a healthy and nurturing environment for canine carousing. Open Monday–Friday, Wet Nose's dog day care lets pups revel and race amidst 2,000 sq. ft. of indoor play space as well as an additional 2,000 sq. ft. of outdoorsiness. Wet Nose's indoor space features plenty of windows and natural light and all participants must pass temperament and personality testing to ensure the safety and well being of dogs, clients, and staff. Wet Nose's staff of trainers will also lead dogs outside to do their business, helping pups maintain good house-breaking habits while overcoming their fear of ladybugs.
AnimalSense began in 1999 with a set mission to help dog owners live peacefully with their dogs, by using training methods backed by the steady hand of science. Classes only ever teach dog-friendly methods of positive reinforcement, a pleasant, pain-free experience for dog and owner alike. Class sizes are limited to allow for one-on-one instruction. The variety of classes available makes enrollment in the program sensible for beginners and previously trained dogs alike. Classes include options for dogs of mostly all temperaments, from a session for shy dogs, to Intro to Agility for fledgling performance hounds. This Groupon is not valid for special aggression classes such as Doggone Issues.
The staff at The Holistic BodyLab works to maintain long-term health with natural, non-pharmaceutical treatments. Led by in-house medical director, Dr. Joseph Maides, and natural medicine doctor, Kevin Gill, they blend spa treatments, such as facials, with holistic treatments, such as massage, in order to revivify bodies both inside and out. This mix of modern medicine and age-old spa treatments aims to both soothe and heal, just like all those old lullabies about mockingbirds curing babies' tension headaches.
Founded in Oak Park, Illinois, in 1996 by pet owners who were sick of bothering neighbors to care for their furry charges when they were busy or away, Out-U-Go! keeps beloved animals happy when their owners are unavailable. Certified members of Pet Sitter International, Out-U-Go's fully licensed and bonded pet professionals undergo a rigorous screening process, putting in time at the company's Dog Walk University to learn how to deal with willful pets, calmly handle emergencies, and internalize animals' fear of vacuums. New customers start off with a free meet and greet, with sitters coming to the house to meet dogs, cats, and smaller critters, and discuss special needs and routines. Services range from daily walks to full-time housesitting and pet taxi rides to groomers, vets, and kennels.

Men urged to get fit and healthy in Dartmoor scheme
10:12am Friday 5th October 2012 in News
Men are being encouraged to get fit and healthy in the wilds of Dartmoor as part of a free programme of activities.
Run by the Stepping Stones to Nature project, together with the NHS and Dartmoor National Park Authority, the Moor Men's Health programme includes guided walks, conservation activities, navigation and survival skills.
Activities focus on improving cardiovascular health and stamina, as well as introducing men to the range of free activities that can be carried out in the National Park.
Any age and any fitness level can take part. Participants are encouraged to support one another and work as a team over a series of five sessions.
The first programme was held earlier this year and the men who took part showed an improvement in health, with weight loss and improved BMI. Over 60 per cent said they had increased their activity levels as a result, and all had visited Dartmoor more often.
Dean Blagdon, NHS physical activity officer said: "I really enjoyed leading an all-male project. I also learnt things about Dartmoor that I didn't know before.
"I was surprised at the impact just a short programme of activities had on participants' health and confidence to visit Dartmoor regularly and pleased to see such a diverse group of fitness levels working together."
Cabinet member for the environment, Councillor Brian Vincent, said: "This is an example of a project that can make a difference to people who do not normally get much attention.
"Not only did the first project improve their physical health but everyone told us that they enjoyed it – especially the camaraderie and being able to discuss issues in an all-male group."
An introduction session will be held at Brickfields Sports Centre, Madden Road, Devonport, PL1 4NE on Tuesday, October 16 between 1.30pm and 3pm.
For more information contact Dean on 01752 431638 or email firstname.lastname@example.com.

Your healthcare provider showed you how to change your pouch in the hospital soon after your surgery. This sheet helps you remember the steps you need to follow to change your pouch. As a rule, a drainable pouch needs to be changed every 5–7 days.
Gather the following supplies:
Plastic bags
Clean towel
Toilet paper
Extra skin protection
Soft washcloth
Scissors (if needed)
New pouch
Remove the used pouch:
Sit on or next to the toilet.
Empty the used pouch into the toilet if necessary.
Starting at the upper edge of the skin barrier, carefully push the skin away from the barrier with one hand. Slowly peel back the skin barrier with the other hand.
Peel all the way around the skin barrier until the pouch comes off.
Seal the pouch in a plastic bag; then put it in a second plastic bag. Throw it away in a trash bin.
Clean around the stoma:
Wipe any stool off the skin around the stoma with toilet paper.
Clean the skin with warm water and a soft washcloth. Wash right up to the edge of the stoma. Pat the skin dry with a clean towel.
If needed, put on extra skin protection, such as moisture barrier cream or powder.
Put on the new pouch:
Peel the backing off the skin barrier.
Place the precut skin barrier over the stoma. If you don't use a pouch with a precut skin barrier, size and cut the opening (1/16 inch bigger than the stoma) and peel the backing off the skin barrier. Carefully place it over the stoma.
The pouch opening should point toward your feet.
If using a pouch with a clamp at the base, it may be easier to apply the clamp to the pouch first.
Snap the pouch onto the barrier flange (if you use a two-piece pouch).
Press the barrier against your skin. Hold it in place for 45 seconds.
Clamp the tail of the pouch (if drainable or reusable).
Make a follow-up appointment as directed by our staff.
Call your doctor right away if you have any of the following:
Pus, foul-smelling drainage, or excessive bleeding from your stoma
A stoma that separates from the skin or looks like it's getting longer
A stoma that is recessing (pulling back) into the abdomen
Bulging skin around your stoma
Blood in your stool
Change in the color of your stoma
Fever of 100.4°F or higher, or chills
Nausea or vomiting
Increased pain
No gas or stool produced after 24 hours
