"Worth It !!"
Got hotel at good price … located in Downtown … Only drawback is its Parking charges … even though it was Offseason .. still 25$ is little too much … Rest everything was perfect.חוות דעת אמיתית של אורח Hotels.com
"I expect more from HI!"
This is an old building that has been updated, but the lobby is small and merely a place to check in. I'll never stay in another hotel without a minimum of complementary self-serve coffee in the lobby. We arrived after nightfall and stayed indoors until morning to survey the area because I was afraid to walk around with my wife and two young daughters. […] To the staffs credit, we had a noisy AC on our first night stay and they literally replaced the unit with a new one. If your looking for a place to crash, this may be your place, but in the future I'll look elsewhere. קראו עודחוות דעת אמיתית של אורח Hotels.com
"Horrible reception"
The front desk did not greet my family & I with a friendly welcome or engage in any conversation about why we were traveling. The front desk lady just asked what was my last name, then proceeded to check me in - very rude! Then, she issued my check in paperwork and did not inform me of our wi-fi passcode, did not advise us how to use parking tower swipe […] card and did not even inform us of our room number! She had the room number written down on the envelope and when I asked her if that was the room, she looked at me stupid and said yes - there was no sir after the yes! She was so busy being nosy with the other guests in the lobby. Then we proceed to go in our room and we were issued a wrong hotel door key! The room was comfortable and clean, but the overall stay of the hotel could not overcome the terribly poor customer service at check-in! קראו עודחוות דעת אמיתית של אורח Hotels.com

Nice hotel, easy to park. It was easy to get to from I-10. The staff was friendly and the room was clean.

"Great place to stay for Saints home games"
If you're in town for a Saints game, this is a great deal and a nice hotel. Also not far from the nightlife areas of the city. Ampersand is just around the corner. The restaurant in the lobby is a little pricy for what you actually get and there's not a whole lot of eateries close by, but the staff is very accommodating. Definitely recommend.חוות דעת אמיתית של אורח Hotels.com
"close to public transport"
Convenient location. One conciege (older woman) was not at all helpful when I showed her the voucher offered by hotels.com Eventually told me I could print it out in the Business centre. Other staff very nice. Had a lovely breakfast onsite - not included. Trolley very close. Neighbourhood seemed a little bit seedy but had no trouble.חוות דעת אמיתית של אורח Hotels.com
"Good value"
The rooms were clean, but the hotel seemed to be undergoing a lot of maintance. The room key cards were finicky. I commonly had to insert the key 5 or 6 times to get the door to unlock. Nice outdoor pool, a nice 20-30 minute walk to the french quarter.חוות דעת אמיתית של אורח Hotels.com

My stay was wonderful at this hotel. My daughter and I went for a Saints game and received great hospitality. Parking was easy and check-in was fast.

Hotel just renovated. Location good but not the best since you can.t walk to major tourist attraction but it's ok. In general staff of the hotel were nice and helpful except at the restaurant. Let's say they could improve there. Even tough the room seem clean there were a lot of small ants on the carpet floor. So not really nice. Nice pool on the rooftop […] but needed some heat, it was pretty cold. So in general the stay was Ok. I stayed for 2 nights so it.s not a bad hotel but i would probably choose another hotel next time. קראו עודחוות דעת אמיתיות של אורחי Expedia

"Very Happy"
The ease of check-in was only the beginning! We got there almost 2 hours before check in time but our room was ready so we were allowed to go up. The room looked exactly like what we had seen in online pictures, very clean, very nice! Staff was always ready to answer our questions and were very pleasant. Our only "issue", which really wasn't an issue, […] was that the air conditioner had to be set on 65-69 to run consistently or the room would get very warm. Fortunately, the cool room was very appreciated after walking around all day in the Louisiana August heat! We will definitely return!! קראו עודחוות דעת אמיתית של אורח Hotels.com
"Easy access to Superdome"
Our room was very clean and we really enjoyed the balcony!! We had a great stay and the staff was very friendly and helpful!! Walk to the Superdome was an easy one.

"Great hotel"
We have stayed here before and were eager to return. It is in a great location for downtown and fairly easy access to other areas. The beds are the most comfortable I have ever slept in, in a hotel! Funnily enough, we had to stay at the Holiday Inn in the French Quarter last visit and were quite disappointed overall!חוות דעת אמיתיות של אורחי Expedia
we love staying here. the only complaint we had was no replacement towels were put in our room one day and we had to ask housekeeping lady in hallway for some. we will always stay here when we come to new Orleans.חוות דעת אמיתית של אורח Hotels.com
Two complaints I have for this hotel. The first would be housekeeping. They would put the door latch forward on the door in order to keep from using their card everytime they enter a room and would just let the door slam everytime. This happened throughout the early morning the day of my checkout. Began around 8am and didn't stop till I checked out […] around 1030. It was ridiculous and I'm pretty sure I'm not the only customer that felt that way. The other complaint would be the bathrooms. The tub in my opinion was not cleaned properly. The shower head was extremely grimey and filled with scum. I think a little bit more attention to the bathroom is greatly needed. I don't think I would return back to this hotel. קראו עודחוות דעת אמיתית של אורח Hotels.com

"Good location-15 min walk to the french quarter"
It was great! Our 2 double bed room was quite large. We even had a k cup in the room and an awesome balcony. The parking garage is on the couple floors above the lobby, so you can walk from your car to the elevator, then your room. But yes people, you have to pay to park, just like every other hotel there. It 's about a 15 min walk to the French quarter. […] I'm so glad we didn't stay closer-it gets a little wild there in the evenings and with 2 kids with us the Holiday Inn was far enough away from all that. It has a pool on the roof top. There is a concierge in the lobby. Great hotel for families! קראו עודחוות דעת אמיתית של אורח Hotels.com

They were doing work on the hotel but it didn't interfere with our stay. The main problem was that many of the channels didn't work on the TV.

We only stayed one night and the whole purpose of the trip was to take in some of the sites of NOLA. The walk to the Superdome was 10 minutes, maybe, and 15-20 to Bourbon. The hotel was great! Very quiet and easy to get to quickly off of I10. Check-in/check-out was quick and easy and the staff was very attentive. I loved being able to park in the deck […] I side of the hotel.

Some really neat things about eShakti:
- They carry sizes 0-26W, which is fantastic because it means there is something for every kind of woman, every kind of shape.
- You can submit your measurements for custom styling and it only costs an extra $7.50.
- All orders, including anything custom, ships in 3 business days, delivery at 7 to 8 business days.
- Shakti means "power" in Sanskrit so eShakti means power of the Net. They believe that the internet empowers customers and helps companies be customer-centered.
Edit: I'll be modeling the dress sometime during the holiday season so I promise pictures the minute I wear it!

Just wanted to thank you for a great time, Friday, August 5.
We love the free soda!!! (Doesn't everyone?)
We love the free sun tan lotion!
I thought the pizza, and other food, was better than other amusement parks.
It was a little more crowded than I hoped, especially in the water park.
Everyone had a great time.
See ya next year,

CHEF JEFF — ONE BYTE AT A TIME: Carrot Souffle
Make this recipe a part of your next holiday meal.By: Herald Staff Report,
Make this recipe a part of your next holiday meal.
Carrot Souffle
1½ pounds peeled carrots
1½ cups sugar
1½ teaspoons baking powder
1½ teaspoons vanilla
1/3 cup high-gluten or bread flour (all-purpose flour may be substituted, but souffle will fall more quickly)
4 eggs
½ cup melted butter
1 tablespoon confectioners' sugar
Steam carrots until extra soft. Heat oven to 350 degrees. Spray 1½-quart casserole lightly with vegetable oil. Transfer carrots to large bowl of electric mixer; add sugar, baking powder, vanilla and flour. Beat slowly until carrots are mashed; increase speed to medium. Beat until very smooth. With mixer on low, add eggs one at a time, beating after each addition. Gradually add butter. Pour carrot mixture into prepared pan. (It will rise, so pan should not be no more than half full.) Bake 1½ hours or until top is light golden brown. Sprinkle with sugar. Serve immediately. Souffle will fall when taken out of oven.)
Yield: Serves 8.

I've heard great things about this double-dig method, its mentioned in several gardening books I have like The Self-Sufficient Life and How to Live it by John Seymour and The Self-Sufficient Suburban Garden by Jeff Ball (learned about that book here!).
Plants here are planted very close together to get you more harvest for your space.
I loved this idea because its focus is on building up the soil, also due to the dense plantings you have high yields per foot and it seems there would be much less of a weed problem, but when I read about watering daily and I became concerned. Watering daily doesn't seem like an easy thing to do in potential TSHTF situation, even with water barrels. How much water can you store?
Option B: Gardening When it Counts by Steve Solomon
This book recommends you give your plants plenty of space so they don't have to compete for resources like water. He actually directly conflicts w/ what Jeavons said about being able to save like 70%-80% water by dense plantings! Help!
Option C: then there is the Back to Eden film which showcases this gentleman's extensive use of wood chips composted. LOTS of compost. And then more compost on top of compost. Sounds like that is all he uses. I know it takes time to make this kind of mulch, but I'm really looking at this...
Back to Eden
He discusses how well the mulch retains moisture and cuts down on weeds. And when I look at his garden, he has plants spread pretty far apart.
OK everybody, I would LOVE to discuss these gardening ideas! Do any of you have practical experience in any of these three areas? I'm all for the building up the soil aspect of the extensive composting/mulching in Back to Eden, sounds like its really low maintenance which I'm totally for finding the best way to utilize my time and still get really good results. And the tree companies around here will give free mulch. I like the dense plantings and building up the soil in Jeavon's method because I don't have a lot of land, denser plantings really are what I'd need, and well, Solomon's method on the surface makes sense but I really haven't read the whole book, so I can't say too much yet.
What gardening method do you REALLY think makes more sense in preparing for a TSHTF scenario? No store-bought amendments, no this, no that... only what is handy and can be composted. And that water question, how do you think water figures in... the more I think about this the more I think about Back to Eden.

By Noah Bierman Globe Staff
Despite a five-week drubbing over her claims to Native American heritage, Democratic Senate candidate Elizabeth Warren remains neck and neck with US Senator Scott Brown, a Republican, as she heads into Saturday's state party convention, a new Globe poll shows.
But there are signs that the controversy has wounded the first-time candidate, whose entrance into the race came with a star power that galvanized Democrats and catapulted the contest into one of the most closely watched in the nation.
The vast majority of voters (72 percent) said the issue would not affect their vote, but 31 percent of self-described independents — a critical voting bloc — said the issue makes them less likely to support Warren in November. The Harvard professor's popularity has also risen one percentage point, to 48 percent, since the Globe polled in March, but the percentage of detractors has climbed more precipitously, by nine points to 32 percent.
The poll shows Brown in a strong position. The incumbent's job approval rating is at a comfortable 60 percent, with just 31 percent of voters saying they disapprove of the work he is doing in Washington.
Still, the bottom line is that the race remains a toss-up, with Brown leading Warren 39 percent to 37 percent, largely unchanged from the Globe's March poll that also showed Brown leading by two percentage points.
''Overall, this shows the strengths that Brown has and it shows the problems, obviously, that the Warren campaign has had,'' said Andrew E. Smith, the Globe's pollster.

Cellulitis |
Cellulitis (sel-u-LI-tis) is a common, potentially serious bacterial skin infection. Cellulitis appears as a swollen, red area of skin that feels hot and tender, and it may spread rapidly.
Skin on lower legs is most commonly affected, though cellulitis can occur anywhere on your body or face. Cellulitis may affect only your skin's surface, or cellulitis may also affect tissues underlying your skin and can spread to your lymph nodes and bloodstream.
Left untreated, the spreading infection may rapidly turn life-threatening. That's why it's important to seek immediate medical attention if cellulitis symptoms occur.

Parent Requests Indian Mascot in Delaware Be Removed
A parent is asking the Indian River School District in Dagsboro, Delaware to remove its Indian mascot from two schools.
"I'm only offended because I don't think any human species or race should be used as a mascot; in particular, our Native Americans because of such historical damages to society of our first people," Lloyd Elling told WBOC-TV.
He said the Indian promotes stereotypes, which has been the argument for many Indian mascot removal cases across the country. This particular mascot is used at Indian River High and Selbyville Middle School.
In a June 12 letter to the editor, Elling says he wants more education about Native Americans taught in the Indian River School District and asks the district to implement a mascot that does not "teach students how to stereotype a group of people on the basis of race, religion, ancestry and cultural ethnicity."
The Nanticoke Indian Tribe, which is also in Delaware, says it's not offended by the mascot. Chief of the tribe, Herman Robbins told WBOC-TV the tribe has a good relationship with the district and that he is comfortable with the mascot, as long as it's done tastefully.
The high school has had the Indian mascot since it was formed in the late 1960s, according to principal Mark Steele.
The National Congress of American Indians has taken a strong stance in opposition to the use of Indian mascots saying they "present a misleading image of Indian people and feed the historic myths that have been used to whitewash a history of oppression. Despite decades of work to eliminate the use of discrimination and derogatory images in American sports, the practice has not gone away."
Next this parent will
Next this parent will approach Notre Dame saying that their 'Fighting Irish' nickname and mascot of a Leprochan punching needs to be removed because its offensive to those of Irish decent. Then he will travel to Minnesota where he will campaign to have their NFL team change to something that won't offend those of Nordic decent. Give me a break. Organizations and teams who use an Indian mascot are doing it out praise and tribute, not to demeanor or poke fun at a race of people. People are too sensitive these days.

Salty Turtle Brownies
The other morning as I was running and singing quietly to myself (so as not to strike terror into the ears of nearby woodland creatures), it finally dawned on me that I do indeed Love running. I used to do an invisible eye roll whenever someone would tout how much they need their daily run. Turns out they were onto something.
Of course my eclectic "Fierce Running Mix," which includes Eminem, Katy Perry (yes, "Firework" is a great song...don't judge), Gorillaz, and Van Morrison, helps me to stay focused and uncharacteristically perky. Also quite motivating, the need to run far, very far, in order to keep these brownies away from destroying my on-it's-last-shaky leg plan to cut back on sugar this year. (It wasn't a resolution. It's more of a; I'm 34 now...this is all going to catch up with me sooner or later, fear.)
Please let me reassure you, these brownies are worth it. Although it would be very tempting to stay, I would run to California and back for a batch of these brownies.
It's amazing what a little bit of salt and caramel making confidence can do! Only 3 short years ago I was still testing the sugary waters of homemade caramel. It used to take forever to make the liquid gold because I'd either chicken out and pull it off the heat too soon, or stare at it, vacantly, as it burned itself into an angry clump. Now I can whip together caramel sauce in just a few short minutes, without a panic attack. Plus, if you toss a small amount of sea salt into desserts, the flavour is automatically taken up several notches.
These babies have all the bells and whistles needed to make even the healthiest of health nuts weak in the knees. They're fudgy, salty, dripping with caramel, and over the moon in the chocolate department. I can almost guarantee that you won't be able to eat just one!
On a completely random side note, The Salty Turtle would be a great name for a boat, or a little seaside restaurant. Food for thought. :-)
Salty Turtle Brownies (adapted from Fine Cooking)
for the brownies
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup cocoa powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
12 Tablespoons (that's 1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
4 oz. unsweetened chocolate, chopped
4 room temperature eggs
3/4 cup tightly packed, brown sugar (light or dark)
1 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
for the caramel
1 cup granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon lemon juice (for such a small amount, you can use juice from a bottle)
1/4 cup water
1/2 cup heavy cream
3 Tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into about 6 pieces
1/2 teaspoon of salt [Note: I like my caramel on the salty side, if you prefer, you can reduce the salt to 1/4 tsp.]
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 cup chopped pecans
Coarse sea salt (optional)
for the chocolate drizzle
2 oz. chopped dark or bittersweet chocolate
1 Tablespoon heavy cream
Prepare the brownies: Preheat the oven to 350 F. Lightly spray or butter a foil-lined 9x13-inch baking pan. [Note: For easier removal of the baked brownies, leave a 1/2-inch foil overhang around the edges of the pan.]
In a medium-size bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt; Set aside.
Make a double boiler: Fill a heavy-duty sauce pan with about 1-inch of water and bring to a simmer. Find a large, heat-proof bowl that will fit over the saucepan without touching the water. Place the butter cubes, and chopped chocolate into the heat-proof bowl and place the bowl over the simmering water. Over low heat, while stirring occasionally, melt the butter and chocolate together until smooth. Remove the bowl from the heat and set aside.
In a separate, large mixing bowl, whisk all 4 eggs together until well blended. Gradually add both sugars to the egg mixture and beat vigorously until combined. Slowly whisk in the melted chocolate/butter mixture and vanilla extract. Switch over to a large rubber spatula or wooden spoon and fold/stir in the flour and cocoa powder. Mix until just combined and all the streaks of flour have disappeared. Scrape the brownie batter into prepared pan.
*Bake for 20-22 minutes, or until a thin knife inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs. Remove the pan from the oven and onto a cooling rack.
*While the brownies are baking, prepare the caramel.
Caramel: Before you start to cook the caramel, have the cream, butter, and vanilla measured out and ready to use. In a heavy-duty 2-quart saucepan, combine the sugar, lemon juice, and water. Pat the sugar into the water as much as possible, and try not to splatter the edges with too much sugar. [Note: You can use a pastry brush to wash down the sides of the saucepan if needed.] Without stirring, bring the sugar, lemon juice, and water mixture to a boil over medium-high heat. Occasionally, use the handle of the pan to gently swirl everything together and prevent the caramel from cooking too fast in one spot. Cook until the caramel turns medium amber (about 8-10 minutes, depending on how high the heat is set). Keep a close watch on the caramel as soon as the bubbles begin to change colour. When it turns medium amber, remove the pan from the heat and slowly, and Carefully add the heavy cream (it will sputter and hiss, so don't stand directly over the pan). Keep stirring until the caramel smooths out. Gradually add the pieces of butter, about 2 bits at a time. Once all the butter has been added and has melted into the caramel, whisk in the salt and vanilla.
Immediately pour the caramel sauce over the warm brownies. If necessary, use an off-set spatula to coax the sauce into an even layer. Sprinkle the caramel sauce with the chopped pecans and sea salt (if using). Allow the brownies to rest at room temperature for about 30 minutes, until the caramel has set. Transfer the pan to the refrigerator and chill for at least 1 hour.
Prepare the drizzle: In a small saucepan, combine the chopped chocolate and heavy cream. Melt over low heat until smooth. Remove the brownies from the refrigerator and, using a fork or a whisk, drizzle the brownies with the melted chocolate until coated. Return the pan to the refrigerator and chill for about 30 minutes, or until the chocolate has set.
Use the foil overhang to remove the brownies from the pan. [You may need to run a thin knife along the edges to release the caramel.] For clean(er) brownie slices, dip a knife in hot water before slicing.

Lemon juice in caramel? That's a new one for me... very intriguing. I'm a sucker for caramel, so these brownies really got my attention.

- March 23, 2012 at 7:04 PM
Hi Valerie - these brownies looked so delicious that I made them on Wed night. I refrigerated them after putting on the caramel sauce and, when I took them out of the fridge the next morning, the fat in the caramel sauce had congealed unappealingly on top. I still have to put on the chocolate drizzle but do you have any idea what I can do to fix the fat congeal issue? Thx!
- March 30, 2012 at 11:52 AM
- Valerie said...
Hi Anon,
I'm sorry that the cream and butter misbehaved.
I don't know what could have caused the congealing, but caramel can be fussy sometimes...maybe too much butter was added all at once, or it (the butter) wasn't incorporated into the caramel before removing the pan from the heat, or perhaps the butter just decided to go on strike. :)
Since it would be impossible to remove the congealed areas on the caramel, maybe you could double the chocolate drizzle and completely coat the caramel. I don't think anyone would complain about more chocolate. :D
I hope that helps, and again, I'm sorry the sauce didn't work out. Please let me know if you have any more questions. - March 30, 2012 at 12:56 PM
- Ryan and Janet mumford said...
The Bly question I have as I am in the middle of making them. How did you get your picture to look the way it does? With a thicker caramel layer? I just pulled my brownie's out and poured the caramel on and a lot has sunk into the brownie. I'm wondering if I should've let them cool a bit before putting the caramel on? Thanks. Janet. Can't wait to try them!
- August 24, 2012 at 7:55 PM
- Valerie said...
Hi Janet!
Sorry, I only just now saw your question.
If the caramel isn't cooked long enough, it could be on the thin side...this would allow it to sink into the brownies. (I still sometimes have difficultly with making caramel.) :) The temperature of the brownies themselves shouldn't have too much of an effect. If I remember correctly, by the time the caramel is made, the brownies are still-warm (but not hot).
I hope that helps!
On the plus side, even if the caramel finds it's way into the brownies, they should still be quite spectacular! :D - August 24, 2012 at 11:09 PM
- Ryan and Janet mumford said...
They were still yummy. And I wondered if I possibly didn't cook the caramel long enough. Thanks!

Hi, Valerie!
A very Happy Birthday to your son! I hope he finds the brownies as enjoyable as I did! (Be sure to stash some away for yourself.) :D
- March 10, 2013 at 8:46 PM
- From Valeries Kitchen said...
They were fabulous! I did want to point out that the vanilla mentioned in the directions (for the brownies) is not listed in the ingredient list. I went ahead and added 1 teaspoon. I found that letting the caramel sit for a few minutes before pouring it over the brownie layer, allows it to thicken up just right. Wonderful recipe!
- March 11, 2013 at 12:09 PM
- Valerie said...
@Valerie, Oops! Thanks for bring the missing vanilla to my attention.
I'm so happy to hear that the brownies were a success - I always worry about the outcome of recipes, no matter how many times I've made them myself. :D - March 11, 2013 at 2:04 PM
This was a delicious recipe! Thanks for sharing :) I added coconut shavings on the top along with the walnuts, it was great!
- August 13, 2013 at 12:48 AM
- Valerie said...
@Anon: Oh, coconut sounds brilliant!! (I'll have to try that the next time I make this recipe!)
Thank you for stopping by! :D - August 13, 2013 at 10:31 AM

text: I'm going to start doing glute injections tomorrow, and have watched videos on where to inject. So if I'm injecting in the upper side of my glute, is there any chance I'll hit the sciatic nerve? It's kinda freakin me out haha I know where the nerve is located, but will a 1" needle reach it by accident when I push it all the way in?


text: I am right handed. Well, I was until three days ago when I woke up with an aching right hand about 3 in the morning. I thought I must have slugged something in my sleep, so turned on the bedroom light and looked at my hand. It was swollen and throbbing, but there was no evidence of a Black and Blue hematoma anywhere on my hand. I looked for a spider bite mark, and found nothing. My hand was really throbbing, so I went to the medicine cabinet and took three aspirin. After an hour they did not seem to be working, so I took some Ibuprofine (sp?) and that kicked in so I coud get back to sleep. By six o'clock the swelling was larger and it got worse during the day. Yesterday I went to see the doctor and had X-rays and blood tests. No elevated white blood cells even though it sure looks like a hell of an infection. I am now on an antibiotic and pain meds that make me sleepy. 30 hours since I started the antibiotic, but no improvement noted. No wound, no bruise, no bite. I am thinking microbacillus which I know do not always respond to our standard antibiotics but sometimes do respond to sulfa drugs, the kind used before WWII. If I have not died from toxic schock by monday morning I will go back and state my opinion and see what the doctor says. A micro Bacillus can get in through a small scratch in the skin, so small that you can not see it. Meanwhile, I have found that I can use the left hand, but I am clumsy as hell, especially with toilet paper. I recommend everybody practice just in case.

Bad Tour Products Taint Jejus Image
By Do Je-hae Staff Reporter The popular southern resort island of Jeju is planning to attract one million foreign tourists this year, but the health of Jeju's tourism industry has come into question over illegal activities practiced by travel agencies there. A recent study shows that hundreds of travel agencies on Jeju often engage in illegal and unfair business practices. A study by the Jeju Special Self-Governing Government found Tuesday that 208 travel agencies were involved in illegal practices, such as closing operations without adhering to regulations and not providing travelers with insurance. They have been given fines and administrative warnings. There were 463 domestic and 83 overseas travel agencies registered with the local administration as of last year. "In an attempt to reduce expenses, many of the island's smaller travel companies often fail to sign up for travelers insurance," according to a Jeju tourism official. Tourists have often complained about the poor quality of services of some of the island's travel agencies, according to a separate field study conducted from Jan. 29 through Feb. 7. Local tourism officials evaluated tours or packages combining airline tickets, accommodation and transportation. Many of them frustrated tourists by arbitrarily changing their schedule or providing low-quality meals. According to the study by the Jeju-based Research Institute for Regional Government and Economy, one travel agency was found to have switched the venues of a bus tour without informing travelers in advance and provided a smaller bus than originally announced. Another agency forced tourists to walk through passages that were initially supposed to be travelled through by car. Some even pressured participants to buy regional agricultural products, saying that the shopping was part of the travel deal. Tourists also complained about the poor condition of rental cars and high parking fees at Jeju International Airport. The provincial administration says it will come up with measures to fix such problems. Some of the island's tourism agencies have been punished for fraud. Last month, the head of an online travel agency based in Jeju was arrested. According to local police, he had taken off with 20 million won that had been paid in advance to his company by his customers. As of March 1, the combined number of foreign and domestic visitors this year to Jeju had already exceeded the 1 million mark. Local authorities are hoping that the island will host 10 million total tourists annually in the near future. This year, they are targeting 6.7 million tourists and tourism revenue of three trillion won. The Jeju provincial administration has selected seven objectives to achieve its goals, including a more stable operation of domestic duty free shops and introducing tourist-only casinos. In particular, the local officials are focusing on the introduction of casinos, which they see as a necessary tool to bring in additional visitors. The island will host a number of large-scale international events this year, including the Int'l Bike Challenge on March 27 and 28. firstname.lastname@example.com |

In the fall of 1912, the Agriculture department started its classes with 53 men enrolled in the program. Now, 100 years later, the College is commemorating its birthday with a yearlong celebration. There are a number of Centennial Events being planned, starting with the kickoff at the Annual Awards Banquet in April. There will be many other events, like having the students try new ice cream flavors and vote for their names, to mark the milestone. Throughout the summer the UWRF College of Agriculture, Food, and Environmental Science parade float be at festival parades in the hometowns of Alumni. It's time to celebrate the history, traditions, shared memories and the promise of a vibrant future.
When I was a senior in high school, I didn't start my college search until November, two months after it had been possible to turn in applications. This was a little late to just be starting to look at Universities; however, I had an idea of what I would like to do based on what I enjoyed in high school. That was the start for my search; I looked for the schools that offered a specific program. UWRF had the program that I was interested in, so I decided to visit here. I also signed up to visit Eau Claire and Stout. When I came for my visit at River Falls, I made my decision. The campus was so beautiful and was the perfect size. My hometown is small, and even though I know that there are approximately 7,000 students here, it doesn't feel like it. I'm not lost in the crowd. After my visit here, I canceled my visits to the other schools. I knew that River Falls was the place for me.
In my previous blogs I may have mentioned Greek life, or about being part of a sorority. Many people may not know what fraternities and sororities are, or what they know may actually be a myth. Being part of a sorority, I know firsthand what Greek life is about.
On our campus, we have four pillars of Greek life. They are friendship, scholarship, philanthropy, and service. By these standards, our fraternities and sororities can offer you opportunities in leadership and networking, and a sense of community on a larger campus. They also provide support and education to all of their members, annual conferences, and tuition scholarships for both undergraduate and graduate work.
If I were to describe what Greek life is all about, I could tell you about the events that we do to raise money for philanthropies. For example, Alpha Omicron Pi hosts the event Run for the Roses which is a 5K run to raise money for arthritis research. I could also tell you about the scholarships available and all the leadership roles available within a fraternity or sorority. Fraternity and sorority life play an essential role in undergraduate student development and learning. Greek life is also a lot of fun; we do fun events together all the time. Last week we had Greek week, which is a friendly competition between all the chapters we have on campus. We have other social events where two groups will get together. For example, in the fall Phi Mu and Alpha Gamma Rho carve pumpkins.
My experience with Greek life has been very positive. I have taken advantage of the many opportunities and had a lot of fun making new friends and being part of great experiences. Even if Greek life isn't for you, I still recommend that you learn about them and participate in some their events that they have on campus.
In high school you may have been involved in Student Council or some other governing body. In college there is another opportunity for leadership and service by being a part of the Student Senate. Our Student Senate is comprised of students from all walks of life who have come together to provide a voice for the student body. They are active in a variety of ways in all levels of government including on-campus, state and national issues. They advocate for problems that affects students on our campus but also for issues that are statewide.
There are elections every year for the twenty-five positions. They meet once during the week to discuss any business pertaining to the campus. Sometimes they may discuss business pertaining to a specific club or organization. It is a great way for students to get involved and have their ideas heard. If you are interested in becoming involved in student senate, they have more information on our website as well as our OrgSync website.
Every new college freshman who has not taken a college level English or math course needs to take a placement test so that they take the class appropriate for their skill level. Foreign language tests (French, German, and Spanish) are also available. These tests can be taken at any UW school; they do not need to be taken at the school you are planning on attending. There are several test dates throughout the spring and the tests need to be completed before you can register for class.
When I signed up for placement tests, I took them at UW-Stout. I remember being very nervous, especially since I was taking the Spanish language test. After the test was over I did not get my results until I came to River Falls to register for class. I had placed high in English and math, and surprisingly I did well on the Spanish part as well. My advisor helped me pick classes for the fall, and since I was a pre-major, I was able to pick a wide variety of classes. So if you are nervous at all for your placement tests, don't be. They are just used to make sure you are learning things at the correct level.
It's that time of year again when students are signing up for on campus housing for the next year. All first and second year students who do not meet one of the exemption criteria are required to live on campus. If you are a returning student, it's a matter of deciding who you want for a roommate, finding which residence hall you want to live in, and signing up on time. The process is relatively simple and does not take a lot of time.
For new students, however, the process is a little bit different. To start, the housing deposit must be paid. This $175 payment ensures students a spot on campus and allows them to fill out the housing contract and actually sign up for housing. This deposit can be transferred between semesters. If a student needs to cancel their housing contract then they need to notify the Residence Life office before May 1, and they will receive $150 of the deposit back.
Next new students need to fill out a profile to help with the roommate selection process. Students are given their top matches and contact information. Students are able to find their roommate through this process. If, however, they do not choose a roommate, the Residence Life office will choose one for them. After all of that is done, it's up to the student to check online for their reservation before move in day.
If your roommate selection does not work out, your Resident Assistant is there to help you. They can help students come to a solution, and if that doesn't work they can help one of the roommates find if a new room is available.
When I was a freshman, I looked at the other students that were supposed to be compatible for me, but I ended up not picking my own roommate. Later in the summer I received a letter explaining move in day and it also had my room assignment and who my roommate was going to be. It was a great experience and she is still one of my best friends on campus. Next year, we will be in an apartment together with another friend for our last year of college.
Midterms are starting soon! It seems like this semester just began and we're almost halfway done. Next week is spring break, so most teachers like to have midterms just before. However, there will be some that wait until students get back to have an exam. Since this is my 6th semester on campus, I have developed a few strategies for doing well on midterms.
Start reading your text book early. There are quite a few students that do not read the textbooks, but the teacher used the book for a reason. For some, the text is merely a supplement to lectures, for other teachers, the text is used to get exam questions from. Either way, the text is going to help you out, so use it. Don't be afraid to ask your professor for clarification. They are there to help you succeed and that is why they have office hours. Go see them in their office if you don't want to ask questions in class. Another great tool I like to use is Study Blue. It's a website that you can use to create your own note cards and using those it will create quizzes for you and other studying tools.
Another great service that I use is the tutoring services and help centers. Our campus offers a lot of resources to its students to help them succeed. Free tutoring is available to students that need it. Besides tutoring, there are additional help rooms in different departments on campus. For example, our mathematics department has a math help room. It has student workers that can help, plus they have all the answer manuals. The math department isn't the only one with a help center; many of the other ones have them as well.
Happy Monday to all! Today is the start for registration for summer classes. I signed up to take all my gym credits (three different classes) and to take one Psychology class to get ahead on my major courses. Summer session is a great way to get ahead in your program and to get into classes that are usually more difficult to get into during the fall and spring semesters. Since I will be living here over the summer, I thought that it would be a great idea to take some classes so I won't have to take 18 credits each semester during my last year here.
The different colleges offer several classes over the summer, and for some classes this is the only time that they are offered. For students already on campus, they just need to go online and register. For other students that are planning on transferring to River Falls, they need to apply as a degree seeking student for summer and then continue on full-time in the fall semester. Throughout summer session housing, dining, and parking are available, just like other semesters. Multiple events are held on campus through Summer Session, including the highly-popular Summer Concert Series.
A new semester with new classes, I'm always nervous for the first few days. I worry about being late, or going to the wrong class at the wrong time, or going to the wrong classroom. Even though I always check and re-check my schedule. Since this is my 6th semester, I was hoping that I wouldn't get nervous anymore, but I still do.
I've finally reached the point in my college career where I am taking mostly core classes. Instead of a semester filled with only generals, I am fully into my major and minor. Three of the classes are for my major, one for my minor, and one for fun. I know for most students this isn't how their classes line up, but since I declared my major only a year ago that's how my schedule has been. Usually students are able to take classes for their major as soon as they have declared one. For me, I took all general classes, until I found out what I really wanted to do. During my time here, I have been very thankful to have had the opportunity to try new things and really find out what major I want to be.
While in college, I think that it is a great idea to take a variety of classes and find what you are truly interested in. Then you'll know if the major you picked is right, and if you don't have one you might find something that you are truly passionate about.
It's the last week of class before finals!!! My stress level is at maximum. Some teachers are having parts of the final this week, and others have papers due. Time management is a priority and I must follow a very strict schedule. There are many great places on campus to study. My favorite is in the Fireplace Lounge in the University Center. There are a lot of nice chairs and tables to sit at and work. Because it is in the University Center, it is a really busy and there are a lot of people and that can sometimes be distracting. If I need to stay focused, I usually go to the library. There are a lot of tables to study at and different areas with different noise levels. The main floor is more active and is more for group work, so there is a little noise there. On the top floor it is a quiet zone and it is enforced. Some people like to study in silence and this is the perfect place for them. I never study in my room, because I never seem to get much accomplished or else I fall asleep.
During the last few weeks on campus, my dorm is doing programs to teach students more about diversity. This diversity isn't just about race or gender, but it's about a lot of things like cultural background, religious beliefs, or even something as simple as the size of your hometown. Our campus is focused on bringing diversity awareness and academic enrichment to all students. With this program that my dorm is doing, I have the opportunity to learn more about people who are different from me. Twenty-two states and more than 12 countries are represented in our student body and there are many different events and organizations to learn more about these places.
Through our sociocultural programming students are able to build their cultural competency and develop a more comprehensive view of their own identity. With the different programs that they offer students become informed about the problems faced by various groups of people in the hopes that students will be better informed and can help make a difference.
This week, there are many athletic events happening for students and community members to enjoy. There are women's and men's basketball and hockey games, as well as a swimming competition. UWRF offers students many opportunities to participate in athletics. The most prestigious being our varsity athletics, followed by club sports, and then intramurals.
Our campus is home to over 400 student athletes for our 16 varsity athletic teams. For men we have basketball, cross country, football, hockey, swimming & diving, and track & field. The women's teams are basketball, cross country, golf, hockey, soccer, softball, swimming & diving, track & field, tennis, and volleyball. The University of Wisconsin-River Falls is a proud member of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) and the Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (WIAC). Our conference is the most competitive in the nation and UWRF can boast of winning both conference and national titles. The most recent Conference Championship title belongs to the women's hockey team in 2011, and most recent National Championship belongs to the women's outdoor track and field in 2008.
If students are interested in athletics but don't want to participate at the varsity level there are club and intramural sports as well. Club sports are the most similar to varsity sports. The teams travel to other schools to play, but they are more in charge of themselves. Their coaches are usually senior members on the team and they need to support themselves to keep the team going. Intramurals are teams put together by students and they play against other student teams on campus. These teams are a great way to stay active and provide many opportunities for students throughout the school year.
However, if students would rather watch games than participate, all regular season varsity home games are free to students with a student ID, and all club and intramural games are also free for students to watch as well.
This week on campus, it is International Education Week! There are daily events planned for students to get more information about the opportunities available through international study. Some of the events included are a Reverse Speakers Corner, where our international students will get to talk about their language and culture, The Third World: Abject Poverty or Poverty with Dignity, a lecture by Dr. Jackie Brux, and International Jeopardy. Events will be entertaining as well as educational, and there are several events planned for every day. The focus of the week will be to educate students in the importance of understanding differences in people around the world through global learning, foreign languages, and international exchange.
Through Global Diversity classes and Foreign Language classes students here at UWRF are able to get a global understanding without leaving Wisconsin. However, there are great opportunities to learn globally while in the place you are learning about. Through the university's Global Connection office, students are able to find a study abroad option that is right for them. Over 300 students do a study abroad program each year. There are many different programs that vary from spending the academic year in China to studying art for a week in Valparaiso, Chile. There are many programs for all different majors, for varying lengths of time. Students also have the opportunity to get financial aid through scholarships and the financial aid office. With so many options, it is easy for students to find the right program for them.

During classes this week it seemed like everyone was coughing and sniffling. Luckily for me, I've taken precautions as I have learned the lesson the hard way in the past. Here are some tips that seem rather simple, but can be hard to follow in a college setting. First, make sure you are getting enough sleep. A seemingly easy thing to do that can actually be difficult. Even when taking a moderate class load homework can take hours, and that is if you settle down and focus right away. Go to an environment that you can study in, and get your homework done right away. That way you are able to do the fun things later, such as movie nights with your roommate, and get to bed at a decent time. You should get at least 7 hours of sleep and do not pull all-nighters.
Another way to stay healthy is by eating well. A simple tip that can be difficult to follow if you fall to temptation. The cafeteria is filled with many different types of food, and lots of it. It is easy to make the wrong choices and then eat too much of the wrong food. So instead of eating an entire pizza everyday at lunch mix it up with some of the better options, like the fresh fruit available, or a salad with all your favorite toppings. Also, make sure that you keep your body hydrated by drinking lots of water, not just your favorite carbonated beverage.
I think one of the best ways to stay healthy is by washing your hands, a lot. Especially after going to the bathroom, or coming out of the cafeteria. With so many people on campus, it can be really easy to catch the cold that everyone else seems to be getting.
If, however, you do get sick, UWRF has many resources for you! The campus works with the River Falls Medical Clinic to provide services to students for free. If you are feeling under the weather and you would like to go see a doctor, all you need to do is call the clinic and make an appointment. Make sure you bring your school ID with you and most services will be covered. If you do not have a car or can't drive over to the clinic, you can call the River Falls Taxi service and they will give you a ride there for free with a valid student ID. You will be feeling better in no time!
Now that the middle of the semester is coming up next week, it is more important than ever to go to class. Some students believe that they can get away with not going because they can look up the teacher's power point slides online, or they can just read the textbook. However, a single class period can include class discussion, demonstrations, important tips for an upcoming exam, or other important things that students who skip loose.
The temptation is strong, especially if the power point or lecture notes are online. It seems easy to just miss class, and spend time with friends, sleep, or other non-educational things. The whole purpose of college is to get an education and the only way to get the most out of your education (and money) is to go to class everyday and save sick days for when you are actually sick. During my first weeks here when I was a freshman, we had a faculty speaker teach us how to succeed in college without opening our textbooks. The main point of her lecture was that just by going to class, and being present, can have a huge impact on grades. She was not saying that the textbooks were not important, but that by going to class we can have the teacher explain things with more depth, and we can ask questions.
I will admit that I have not always been faithful to my classes, and have missed a few throughout my career. However, most days when I am thinking that I really do not want to go to class, I simply tell myself, "Yes, you do." It changes my mentality and after class is over, I am glad that I went and know I would have regretted not going. I have an awesome story of a time that I did not want to go to class, but did anyway's. It was the day before Thanksgiving break, and it was the last class before I could go home. The class was at 1:00 and my only other class for the day had been over at 10:00. I had really wanted to leave early, but convinced myself that I really should go to class. It was a music history class, and once I was there, I wondered if I had made the right decision; more than half the class was gone. The teacher lectured for 20 minutes, then he gave us the titles and the name of the artists that we needed to know for the exam, and he told us that instead of the five papers we needed to write for the semester we only had to do three.
It always pays to go to class even if you are super tired, or want to spend your time doing other things. You just never know what you are going to miss.
"80% of success is showing up" –Woody Allen
Exams, quizzes, papers! Welcome to the life of a normal college student. Fourth week of classes and I have a behavioral statistics exam, map quiz and lots of reading to catch up on. The map quiz seems like it will be rather simple; I have to identify countries and landmarks in Latin America during the time that Columbus and other conquistadors were coming to America. As for the behavioral statistics exam, I'm feeling confident because I only got one wrong on my quiz from last week. That's school, and as long as I don't procrastinate too much, I'll be fine.
This weekend I'm really looking forward to a volunteer opportunity that I signed up for. I'm going to Feed My Starving Children in Chanhassen. If you've never been, here's the scoop; you along with some friends package food to be sent to starving people in countries throughout the world. You work for an hour to package as much food as you can. It's a very rewarding experience, and you're helping out your global community. Through UWRF you can join different organizations that can connect you with local volunteer programs. The school in the fall hosts a program called Rock the Cause where they invite organizations to come and tell students about the volunteer programs they offer.
Also this weekend my family is coming to visit and celebrate my Grandpa's 80th Birthday! I'm really looking forward to seeing them, and going out to eat at the River Falls Family Restaurant.
Third week of classes and it is now time to start the quizzes and papers! Well, it's only one quiz and one paper, but now that we've gotten into the swing of things it's time to do something a little more challenging than reading. My quiz is for behavioral statistics, and it shouldn't be too difficult. I've been doing a lot of practice problems and going to group study sessions to prepare. The paper is for my Social Psychology class and it is about my self-concept, or the things that make me who I am. I have to discuss where these facets came from and how they impact my behavior. All very fascinating subjects and they are small reminders of why I love UWRF and my major that I have chosen.
Last Friday I had an interview with one of the businesses in town and I am hoping that they call me this week and offer me a temporary job. Working on campus is a lot of fun, but I am hoping this other job will help me pay for my school next semester and hopefully for other fun things that I want to do. With proper time management I know I will be able to handle my classes, my jobs, my duties to my sorority, and still be able to relax. Usually at the end of the day, I'll take a break from homework and play video games with my friends or go for a walk, depending on what time it is and the weather.
This weekend I have a lot events going on for my Sorority, Phi Mu. We are having a celebration to cap off our recruitment events and welcome our 10 new girls to Greek life! It's a very exciting time of the year and a very busy one.
With this being a busy time of the year it is important to have good study habits. Best time to study is early, and if you don't know how or need tips, here's a great resource! http://www.academictips.org/
This year when back to school move in came around, I was really excited. I was ready to get back to my friends that I had missed all summer and ready to get back into classes. This year, move in was a little bit different for me. My younger sister moved into the residence halls the day before I did. I was excited for her, because I already know how wonderful being at college is. However for her, it was a scary process, even with me helping her out. My parents helped bring all her stuff to campus, then helped her get everything into the room, and then took her shopping to get any forgotten items. When we finally left for home, my mother started crying because this was her youngest, now gone off to college. They helped me move in the next day where I found out I wasn't going to have a roommate this semester. I wasn't too thrilled about having a room to myself, but now I've found that I like it and I always have people over so it doesn't feel so empty.
Being a junior in college means that I am very busy, no matter what level you are at in college you are busy but this semester seems to have taken it to a new level. My major is psychology, and I only declared that last spring semester. So far I've enjoyed all my classes and am really looking forward to getting more involved with my major. Other classes I am taking are a literature class about Native Americans, a history class about Latin American civilization, an art class, and a music class. All of them are very interesting and I look forward to learning more throughout the semester. They do however assign me a lot of reading so most of my free time is spent doing that.
In addition to my homework and work, I am also very involved in Phi Mu Fraternity. These past two weeks have been recruitment weeks. Two or more nights a week we've been having informational meetings and getting to know all the wonderful women that are interested in going Greek. With all these things I'm involved in, friends, work, and school, my life is crazy busy but I love every minute of it!

Eat some cactus.
hehe thanks guys! we're happy to hear that!!
awesome! very clean mix. which drum synth did you use for the kick, or is it a sample? whatever it is, it hits hard.
AWESOME track! My favorite part is where the bass comes in around the 0:50 mark, and then the incredible 12/8 part at the end after the accelerando. Very well done!
