"Pink Slime" Gets Thumbs Down from Maine Education Dept.
by Christine Parrish
Thursday, March 29, 2012 8:32 AM
The Maine Department of Education said it will no longer buy beef that contains Lean Finely Textured Beef, a cheap beef product known in the meat industry as "pink slime." It is used to bulk up hamburger patties and other ground beef products.
Pink slime is made from low-quality beef trimmings that are treated with ammonium hydroxide gas to kill off potential pathogens like
E. Coli
. Pink slime is widely used in the United States, where it is mixed with ground beef as an inexpensive filler that can be as much as 25 percent of a hamburger patty.
In the wake of media attention about pink slime in school lunches, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) announced March 15 that schools that participate in the National School Lunch Program will have other beef options to serve schoolchildren in the 2012-2013 school year.
Maine schools get 10 to 15 percent of their food from the USDA, by way of the Maine Department of Education.
"We don't believe anything is wrong with it, but given the public sentiment, we decided to not buy any more of it," said David Connerty-Martin, a spokesman for the department.
Connerty-Martin said only six percent of the USDA product that comes into the state is beef, so the amount going out to individual schools is small and, at this time, there is no way to tell if it contains pink slime or not.
"Even the USDA doesn't know, at this point," said Connerty-Martin.
He also pointed out that individual school districts buy meat from other sources, too, and it is up to them to check if it contains pink slime.
The USDA maintains that pink slime is safe and meets the nutritional guidelines for school meals, but that school districts have local control over how to meet nutritional guidelines and are not required to purchase beef with pink slime.
One of the concerns about pink slime is that it slips through an oversight loophole. The USDA classifies ammonium hydroxide not as a food additive, but a substance used in the processing of food, therefore it is not subject to premarket review and approval by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) "because it is generally recognized, by qualified experts, to be safe under the intended conditions of use," according to the USDA.
As for schools in the midcoast, Camden area schools avoid pink slime.
"We have never used pink slime nor will we ever use it," said Five Town CSD Superintendent William Shuttleworth.
Charles Butler, nutrition director for RSU 13, said the district will not use any products with pink slime in the next school year and is doing its best to identify and remove products this year. Since the products are not labeled, Butler calls manufacturers, when that information is available.
"I will not be taking any more of the ground beef from the USDA until we are sure it does not contain pink slime, and we will check with the manufacturers when purchasing from other purveyors to ensure we are not using it in the future," said Butler. "We are told it is safe. This may be true, but I believe it is still a completely unnecessary process designed to save a few pennies per pound when processing ground beef."

The whole "pink slime" issue is total WMD (Weapon of Mass Distraction). It is so not what should be on anyone's list of things to be concerned about.
If we were a reasonably intelligent & educated people, it would be a non-issue. Instead, it is an issue, one purely bourne out of American ignorance and a general milieu of scientific illiteracy!
The facts are: (If you anything at all about basic biology, chemistry and human/mammalian physiology)
(1) Pink Slime really is just beef (Bovine protein & fat) not at all different than any other (nasty) part of the cow we eat.
(2) Ammonia (NH3) is a naturally ocuring chemical in the human body's digestive tract, blood and tissues. It is one of the primary by-products of protein digestion, synthsis and metabolism. The concentrations of NH3 in "pink slime" are far less than those in us already.
(3) The only downside: a small off acrid taste to the by-product.
(4) The real upsides: Lower levels of saturated fat. Less meat waste so better for the planet (not that eating meat is good for the planet). Way lower pathogenic potential.
But so be it. Just goes to show that we Americans now are and, as always, seem to remain the world's greatest idiots!
Of course, JC (the other commentor, not the fictional figure of christian myth) is on the right path. If you really want to be concerned about the dangers of what you eat, then it is saturated fat laden beef itself you need to avoid, not the possiblity of "pink slime" therein!

Sin City Edition (I suspect we'll frequently be hearing crazy bar stories coming out of Vegas)
Poor Mr. Keck. If only you'd taken the time to get your edumacation on properly by studying my Macking With The Staff article, you could have saved yourself a rather awful engagement with The Man.
You could have found other ways to court your paramour or you could have found equally – uh- reciprocal benefits in someone else, like a nearby Bunny Ranch associate, no? Your former co-workers could have been spared that all too familiar (don't ask me how I know) cool/hot feeling and subsequent bleeding out one often gets upon being pumped full buckshot from a 12 gauge.

Former X Factor contestant Jade Ellis will take to the stage as part of a theatre production in aid of Breakthrough Breast Cancer next month.
Jade will perform for one night only during the interval of Grease at the Artsdepot in North Finchley, which aims to raise £10,000 for the charity.
Fundraiser Daniel Freedman and the Impact Theatre Company have teamed up for the show, which will run from Wednesday, March 19 to Saturday, March 22.
Mr Freedman said: "We have all experienced the devastating effects of cancer, and the committee is passionate about doing all we can to help wipe out this appalling and ruthless disease.
"The show promises to be amazing and every ticket sold will make a difference."
Jade, who will perform during the show on Thursday, March 20, said: "I am really pleased to be supporting Breakthrough Breast Cancer. It's a charity very close to my heart."
The cast includes a breast cancer survivor who will share her story and make an appeal to the audience after each of the five performances.

We present a direct method for calculation of radiative electron capture (REC) X-ray emission in relativistic ion-atom collisions. Results obtained within the distorted-wave impulse approximation (DWIA) are compared with recent experimental data for the collisions of heavy ions with light atoms. Simple closed analytic formulae are derived for small αZ describing the polarization and the angular distribution of radiation.
Good agreement with recent experiments is found for photoemission rates and angular distributions. Our results for helium and beryllium targets indicate that the photon spectrum is rather insensitive to target structure, but strongly dependent on multiple-scattering corrections, and this contradicts other recent theoretical predictions. In asymmetric collisions our results are in broad agreement with experiment and relativistic impulse approximation (RIA) calculations. Through detailed analysis of magnetic transitions in terms of the electron and photon polarization correlation parameters, important new features are introduced and discussed.

The Internet's social media outlets such as Facebook, Twitter, MySpace, Google+ and the like, have become our virtual life lines—especially in times of major disasters, such as Hurricane Irene which will affect the U.S. East Coast this weekend.
According to the American Red Cross, two recent show an increasing number of Americans are turning to social networks and online during major events such as the 5.9 earthquake that reverberated through-out the eastern U.S. coast.
Some of the findings from the survey:
Not surprisingly, the American Red Cross has set up its own Facebook page (facebook.com/redcross) and Twitter account (twitter.com/#!/RedCross). But it's also set up a "Safe and Well" website (safeandwell.communityos.org), an online resource where people in disaster areas can use to alert loved ones that they're, well, safe and well.
Of course, communications—landlines, cellular service and wireless Internet networks—in natural disaster areas could be strained or even knocked out completely. So, the American Red Cross reminds everyone not to rely solely on the Net for help during emergencies or their aftermaths.
For a complete guide to staying safe during Hurricane Irene and other disasters, check out our coverage:

Last season was a good one
Posted October 31, 2012
For those who know me, it's no secret that basketball is my favorite sport.
Last season was an exciting one. We saw some outstanding performances, some surprises, a new playoff system, and state champions.
We haven't really had a chance to sit back and reflect on the 2011-2012 season, but it's worth doing so.
Young and talented
Who says you need a lot of varsity experience to be good?
Last season, a number of young players stepped up and made a name for themselves. One of the most memorable performances happened at the HighSchoolOT.com Holiday Invitational when freshman point guard Julius Barnes hit three 3-pointers and a pair of free throws, helping Garner from behind to be beat Kinston in the semifinals. Garner went on to win the championship for the first time in school history.
Since that game, Barnes' expectations have been on the rise, and so has the attention from colleges. When I was at Garner this summer for an interview with Barnes, Garner coach Eddie Gray told me he had just gotten off the phone with the Clemson coaching staff about Barnes. After his freshman season, MaxPreps.com named him as an honorable mention selection to the MaxPreps.com All-Freshman Team.
Things will be tougher for Julius this year though. He's going to transition from a role player off the bench to a starter, and he'll have to take on more of a leadership role – even just as a sophomore.
We've seen some pretty good sophomores in the area too. Apex had a sophomore duo that was extremely talented – T.J. Evans and T.J. Wells.
Both guards are capable of scoring, passing, making big plays and playing good defense. But Apex coach David Neal will tell you one of the biggest things these two sophomores brought to Apex last season was the expectation to win.
Evans was named the Tri-9 Conference Player of the Year as a sophomore, something that doesn't happen very often.
After following the Millbrook boys and girls basketball teams to the state championship in 2011, I had the opportunity to watch the girls team make a return trip in 2012. And this time they won it.
Millbrook has a tremendous amount of talent on the girls roster returning. Of the eight returning seniors, all eight have committed to play college basketball next season. That is impressive, and something I don't know that I've seen before.
The Wildcats posted a 30-2 record, making it look easy at times, but I can assure you winning a state championship is anything but easy. I'm confident coach Chris East would agree. I'm also confident that the feeling of winning a state championship was a very satisfying one for Millbrook after losing in the game the year before.
Can they make a return trip? It's hard to predict that. A lot goes into winning a state championship, a lot more than just pure talent. But the Wildcats do have talent, and they will be in the conversation for a repeat performance.
Seed away
For the first time, the N.C. High School Athletic Association seeded the basketball playoffs. It was experimental, and it got mixed reviews, but it will continue this season.
The concept of seeding the playoffs is something many coaches like. I like it too.
We'd be fooling ourselves if we said the system was perfect last year though. I know it wasn't, the coaches know it wasn't, and the NCHSAA knows it too. This year the system will be tweaked, and they'll continue to do so until the system is something that everyone believes is fair.
Last season there was a big controversy with Panther Creek. The Catamounts thought they should have gotten a wild card spot over a team from the west because they had a better record. But the NCHSAA said one wild card team went to the east, while the other went to the west – which is how the system worked previously.
It certainly created some tough hours for Catamount fans, but it is one reason we're seeing a change in the seeding process now.
Will this year be any better? We'll wait and see. But I am a big fan of seeding the playoffs. It makes it much more exciting than the pre-determined brackets we had previously.

The Lafayette Bucket Bag
The Lafayette Bucket Bag is rated out of 5 by 40.
Rated 5 out of 5 by mtngrl from Just Right I've been on a Goldilocks search for the perfect Madewell bag. I was looking for an everyday purse. First I tried the Transport Tote (too big), then the Glasgow Satchel (too small) and finally found the Lafayette Bucket Bag (just right). This bag is perfection. The leather is strong and smooth. I love that is is not pebbled, but flat. Looks classier to me. It has just the right amount of bling in the hardware. I love that Madewell is so understated in their designs. So many brands emblazon their logos all over the bag. The size is perfect for every day use... it fits everything you need without being overwhelming. Madewell really hit a home run with this one.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Lilyplum65 from Great proportions & looks luxe! I could not be happier with this bag! I love the two strap options - the shorter one for over the shoulder or in the crook of the elbow AND the longer strap for crossbody. It has two slim inside pockets that fit my iPhone 6 perfectly and a larger pocket for my keys, lipsticks, etc. Mansur Gavriel at a better price point.

Rated 5 out of 5 by ARXTH from Love love love! The leather is so thick, buttery, and supple! It's a little stiff but the leather should break in beautifully. I love the shoulder strap and the crossbody strap, it looks great worn either way. I'm 5' 1" so this bag looks a little big on me but I love big bags. This is definitely a keeper! Worth every penny :)

Rated 5 out of 5 by KathrynG from The perfect bucket bag I am obsessed with this bag! I had been pining for it for months and received it as a graduation gift. The leather is beautiful and I love the option of using a short or long strap. It's also quality without being pretentious. It holds everything I need. I do wish there was a zipper pocket to keep some things hidden, but the big pocket is deep enough to make up for it. Some people mentioned wishing they could close the bag. I personally have never closed a purse even when it had a zipper, so it didn't bother me. If you've ever wanted a bucket bag or wanted something a little different than what's out there, this is the bag for you!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Handbaglady from Sharp bag I ordered it "sight" unseen and from the website. When it arrived I was pleasantly surprised to see that it is a sturdy and dense leather. Not thin and wavering. The cross body is a good length. This strap CAN be detached. The other one is a pretty tight drop. It looks good in the crook of the elbow too. This one CANNOT be detached. The leather smells good too like found in very good cowboy boots. The interior does not have any zippered compartments rather slip pockets. I carry quite a few things in it. A full size zip around wallet, an 18 month planner, a mid to large cosmetic bag, a hard sunglasses case and then smaller miscellaneous items like the phone charger and keys. I have everything situated on their sides and upright. It actually makes it easier for me to grab things too. What could make it better? Feet. A bag that looks like this should have feet. It would complete it.

Rated 2 out of 5 by mrose814 from Not Impressed I ordered this during the huge sale a few weeks ago. Even with the discount--I will be returning this. It's awkwardly sized and honestly poor quality. The leather is cheap and nowhere near the quality I've seen on the Transport Tote. The color is dull as well. Why is that? The bag arrived with a few scratches (this kind of leather scratches easily), the strap is too long, the bag is too big for my body (I'm not small--I'm average height/weight), and it does not properly close. I adore Madewell, but this is a huge miss. I wish I saw this in person before buying it. If you are on the fence I would recommend heading to a store to check it out first.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Shopper16 from Bag with space but not overpowering! Love this bag! My cousin had one and I knew once I say it that I wanted it! It has a big enough bucket to store all my "stuff" but I can still carry it easily as a cross body.

Rated 5 out of 5 by etn1217 from gorgeous color I've been eyeing this bag since it first came out. I am in love with the color. It's a little stiff to begin with but it's spacious enough for more than just a wallet, phone, and water bottle. Just the right size for me.

My Journey to Heaven
- November 15, 2012
- By Staff, Baptist Standard
While other accounts have dealt to some extent with music in heaven, this book emphasizes lights and colors in heavenly places. Besteman discusses music in only three places. The descriptions of the heavenly "cradle roll"—as well as the excellent health of every person in heaven—certainly are encouraging and biblical. Besteman's writing about six people he saw in heaven is inspiring. Besteman concludes he was not allowed to stay in heaven because his work is unfinished on earth, and he assumes this book was part of God's plan for him.

Telling the Gospel Through Story by Christine Dillon (IVP)
Dillon opens by addressing the notion that storytelling is just for children. That misconception equates storytelling with fairy tales, leaving the idea a story may be untrue or at least suspect.
Dillon cities examples of stories told in both the Old Testament and New Testament, and she reminds us Jesus used parables. She quotes Masterlife author Avery Willis, who said, "God wired us for stories."
Dillon addresses fear, being an introvert and the "why" of storying. Above all, she emphasizes, prayer is essential. Within the context of training others in storying, she also discusses learning from biblical models using a biblical text. Storytelling with other cultures and evangelistic storytelling also are discussed. The book includes four important appendices.
This is a must-read for the beginner, as well as those already involved in storytelling as way of sharing the gospel. I highly recommend it.

Frequency: Discovering Your Unique Connection to God by Eric Parks and Casey Bankord (Worthy Publishing)
Parks and Bankord see this connection with God as our personal frequency. They have come up with a spiritual growth assessment tool called "Monvee." Each book includes a unique computer password allowing you to connect with Monvee and take a test to find your "frequency" or personality style. You many find your personality as a Joseph, Abraham, Jacob, Luke, Timothy or other. Each biblical personality is illustrated by a person who took the Monvee survey, explaining what that person discovered about his or her unique connection to God.
Frequency has been well researched. It is a well-written easy read and can be a very helpful way to find your unique connection to God. It also will help you to see how others relate differently to God. Enjoy the discovery.

Vegetable-Rice Bowl with Miso Dressing
This hearty Asian rice bowl features adzuki beans, tofu, and butternut squash.
- Servings: 4
Source: Martha Stewart Living, January 2007
For the Vegetables and Rice:
- 1 cup dried red adzuki beans
- Sea salt or coarse salt
- 2 cups short-grain brown rice
- 1/2 medium butternut squash, peeled, halved lengthwise, seeded, and cut crosswise into 1/2-inch-thick pieces (about 4 cups)
- 14 ounces firm tofu, cut into 1/2-inch-thick triangles
- 1/4 pound mixed hearty greens, such as kale, chard, and beet greens (about 8 cups), stemmed and chopped if large
For the Miso Dressing:
- 1 piece (1 inch) peeled fresh ginger, coarsely chopped (about 2 teaspoons)
- 2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons white miso paste
- 1/4 cup low-sodium tamari soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
For the Condiments:
- 2 tablespoons dried arame or wakame (seaweed)
- 1 medium daikon radish, peeled and finely grated (about 1/2 cup)
- 2 teaspoons ume plum vinegar
- 8 umeboshi plums, halved and pitted
- Gomashio (seasoning of toasted sesame seeds and sea salt)
Put beans into a bowl; cover with water by about 2 inches. Soak overnight in the refrigerator. Drain beans; transfer to a medium saucepan. Cover with water by about 2 inches, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 30 minutes, seasoning with 1 teaspoon salt halfway through and adding more water if needed to keep beans covered. Drain.
Rinse rice; drain. Transfer to a medium saucepan; add 3 1/4 cups cold water and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, stir once, and reduce heat. Simmer until water has been absorbed and rice is tender, 45 to 50 minutes. Remove from heat, and let stand 10 minutes.
For condiments, put seaweed into a small bowl; cover with cool water. Set aside until soft, 10 to 15 minutes. Drain.
Place the bottom basket of a large 2-tiered bamboo steamer in a wok or large pan filled with about 1-inch simmering water (the water should just reach to bottom of basket; alternatively, use 2 pans fitted with steamer inserts). Carefully place squash slices in a single layer in bottom basket. Cover, and steam 10 minutes. Place tofu in a single layer in top basket, and top with greens. Cover, and carefully set atop bottom basket; steam until greens and squash slices are tender, 7 to 8 minutes more.
Meanwhile, make the miso dressing: Process ginger, miso, tamari sauce, and 1/4 cup water in a food processor until smooth. With machine running, gradually add oil, and process until combined. Transfer to a small bowl; set aside.
Toss together daikon and vinegar in a bowl; set aside. Spoon rice into each of 4 large serving bowls, and arrange beans, greens, tofu, squash, and seaweed on top, dividing evenly. Top each bowl with about 1 tablespoon daikon mixture and 2 plums. Drizzle with dressing, and sprinkle with gomashio.

The most powerful age in Australian business today is 53, a study of the top 50 chief executives shows.
The "power profile" also shows Australia's typical top chief executive has worked overseas and been promoted after working as a deputy in the same company.
But the battle of the generations is intensifying: 21 of the top chief executives are from Generation X, closely behind the 26 baby boomers among the group.
Fifty-three was the average age of the top chief executives in the study. Those on the magic number include Macquarie Group's
Others in the average age group include Wesfarmers'
But there was a warning to this age group from The Boardroom Consulting Group's managing director, Ann-Maree Moodie. "We are seeing a younger and younger CEO all the time, such as
While it is important to have a university education, almost 10 per cent of the top 50 only have a high school education. "If you want to make it to the top of the corporate business ladder, a commerce, economics or engineering degree appears to be the most common ticket to success, with the prestige degrees of medicine and law taking a back seat," said Brian Fenwick, executive manager at Suncorp Bank, which commissioned the study.
The University of NSW and Monash University were rated Australia's two "power" institutions, outscoring the University of Sydney and Melbourne University.
Other key findings included that two in three chief executives have worked overseas, one in three has an overseas university education and one in four has an MBA.
Of the top chief executives, 96 per cent are men.
Referring to the low number of women at the top, Mr Fenwick said: "This highlights the huge amount of progress that still needs to be made in business."
The study also found that two- thirds of chief executives were promoted from within their own company. "I think the trend of CEOs being promoted from within also shows that company succession plans are working effectively," Ms Moodie said.
The oldest chief executive in the study was
Mr Fenwick said the "power age" was surprisingly close to its equivalent in politics: Prime Minister
The 53-year-olds were born in 1959 –the year construction of the Sydney Opera House begun and the country's population passed 10 million for the first time.
The 53-year-olds are "horses" in the Chinese zodiac.
"Horses are described as free spirited, independent and good with money," Mr Fenwick said. "They are also known to be effective communicators, capable of grasping new subjects with ease and good multi-taskers. They aren't fond of taking orders and enjoy power."

Chilliwack Chargers rally to bounce Burnaby
Chilliwack's U-12 Chargers took on Burnaby United/Bellotti in a Sunday soccer match, coming away with a 3-1 win.
Chilliwack trailed 1-0 early, but owned the rest of the game. Off a throw-in from Paige Owens, Grace Bisson passed to Carmen Bonnar, who one-timed a shot into the Burnaby goal.
Forwards Mimi Devette and Jessica Mansfield were dangerous, and it was Bisson and Sara Dyck providing second half markers.
Strong work in the midfield and backline by Oliva Hochstetter, Calista Ballantine, Jaiden Andries and Summer deJager kept Burnaby from mounting a comeback. Katrina Brown and Sydneigh Schofield shared the win in goal.

I felt like Mexican food one night but couldn't find a recipe that combined what I felt like eating and had to hand so I made up this simple dish. It's basically just different Mexican type stuff layered together and it came out really well. Jim enjoyed it so much he asked when I was going to make it again!
The bottom layer is Meximeat from 500 Vegan Recipes. I left out the cayenne and used chipotle flakes rather than powder as I've never found anywhere to buy the powder. I also halved the amount of paprika in it as the one I'm using seems to be hotter than I've used before. It was still a little bit hot for the boys so I will reduce the amount of flakes next time I make it but the taste was lovely and it was so simple to make. I sliced some organic tomatoes that needed using up on top of that layer and then put on 2 flour tortillas.
The next layer was sautéed greens and garlic as I wanted to put some vegetables in and I had them in the fridge. I mixed them into some Melty White Cheez from The Uncheese Cookbook. Jim ate almost all his greens, apparently putting them in a cheesy kind of sauce makes them a lot more tasty! On top of that went another 2 flour tortillas.
Next up was a can of refried beans. My kids adore refried beans and I'm a big fan as well so they always disappear fast here! I stuck another 2 flour tortillas on top of that and then topped the whole thing off with the rest of the cheesy sauce and stuck it in the oven for about 20 minutes.
I love it when a half-formed plan comes together and especially when the boys will actually eat what I've made so I'm sure I'll drag this idea out in the future and just use different vegetables in the middle depending on what we have to hand.

The topics of outdoor learning and outdoor classrooms are trending in education conversation and research. Recently, there have been many articles in education and scientific journals as well as in popular magazines and websites on the many reasons schools should embrace outdoor learning. Outdoor learning is increasingly viewed as a powerful way to engage students in the educational experience and to foster a greater appreciation for the natural world. Schools have implemented the development of outdoor classrooms as one approach to embrace outdoor learning for their students. Researchers, educators, administrators, and facility managers are looking into how outdoor classrooms could provide a positive impact on student success. Here are three good reasons why your school should consider investing in an outdoor learning program and the building of an outdoor classroom.
- Outdoor Learning Positively Affects Physical Health
The need for and benefits of outdoor learning are frequently discussed in light of perceived health crises among American children. Here are just two examples of physical benefits outdoor learning may offer student.
First, outdoor learning gets students moving. The USA has a gathering storm from the factors of childhood malnutrition, obesity, and lack of physical activity. The average American child spends as few as 30 minutes playing outdoors each day (National Wildlife Federation), and many believe that our children are more inactive and obese than in previous generations. We need to get kids moving! Outdoor learning is a great way to provide students opportunity to move and explore and, hopefully, become healthier.
Second, outdoor learning reconnects kids with the power of 'solar energy'. The sun has always held benefits for human development and health—of course, one must consider the need for sunscreen and proper hydration for the students. We are all aware of the need for vitamin D, which the sun provides to us naturally. Students who are stuck indoors during the school day can miss out on this very needed health benefit. In addition, natural light can help our kids see well. The natural light one experiences outdoors reduces the risk of nearsightedness. When compared to the lighting of our inside environments, there's nothing quite like light of the natural world (Nutt, 2014). Outdoor classrooms are one way to capitalize on the physical advantages of outdoor learning.
- There are Cognitive Benefits to Outdoor Learning
Recently, there have been a number of articles on how outdoor learning can make kids smarter, improve children's memory and attention, and even help kids with autism. We now know that children's awareness, reasoning, and observational skills are improved in their cognitive development with an increased exposure to nature (Pyle, 2002). The cognitive advantage of outdoor learning is seen in academic performance. For example, children who have increased contact with the outdoors score higher on tests of concentration and self-discipline (Wells, 2000; Taylor, Kuo, & Sullivan, 2002). In an age of heightened pressure for student performance, why not consider using outdoor classrooms to bolster student learning and achievement?
- Outdoor Learning Helps the Socialization of Students
Finally, researchers have noted that outdoor learning leads to positive outcomes in students' social development. Some have argued that nature stimulates social interaction between children much more than indoor learning environments (Bixler, Floyd, & Hammit, 2002). When learning outdoors, students work more collaboratively as they explore the natural world together. An outdoor classroom provides opportunities for students to interact and learn in new and different ways, and the social benefits should not be underestimated.
There are many other considerations that should be given to the implementation of outdoor learning programs in our schools, but the most obvious among them are the physical, cognitive, and social benefits of outdoor learning. As your school or district considers investing in or expanding an outdoor classroom, keep in mind the many advantages this type of education facility will have for your students.

Justin Bieber Duets With Miley Cyrus at NYC Concert (VIDEO)
Teen titans Justin Bieber and Miley Cyrus joined forces onstage at New York's Madison Square Garden last night, performing a duet of the Biebs tune "Overboard." If you weren't lucky enough to witness this epic pairing, don't worry: the duet was filmed for Bieber's 3D concert movie!
According to E!, the crowd "went beyond wild whenever Justin and Miley made any physical contact whatsoever, however innocent." No wonder a sick Justin overcame his illness to make this show…
Check out fan video of their duet here:
So that's a taste of what Miley and Bieber might sound like if he got his wish and they remade Grease together!
Baby Biebs also treated the New York crowd to appearances by his mentor, Usher, Ludacris and Boyz II Men. It was clearly a big night for Bieber, who tweeted before the show: "Tonight I perform with my heroes!"

Washington Post Staff Writer

It's hard not to feel a twinge of jealousy when Sean Lennon and Charlotte Kemp Muhl discuss the beginnings of the Ghost of a Saber Tooth Tiger, their band. He, the only child of John Lennon and Yoko Ono, and she, a globe-trotting magazine and runway model, had been dating for a year and, according to Kemp Muhl, "the only thing we were doing was going to cafes and sketching together and talking about movies and things." It sounds like a scene straight out of a Godard movie, or the fantasies of any would-be bohemian.
"We were just joking around one day, and we wrote 'The World Was Made for Men,' " Muhl says in her gentle wisp of a voice. The sparse, spooky song is built almost entirely on lush vocal harmonies and appeared on 2010's "The Acoustic Sessions" album. "I had started this chord change, I showed it to [Sean], he finished it, and we wrote our first song. We joked, 'We should have a band.' "
That joke became a reality and the band - GOASTT, for short - soon made its debut. Opening for Rufus Wainwright. At Radio City Music Hall.
There's that twinge of jealousy again, right?
Muhl, 23, had long been a casual musician, but nothing more. Her dad once gave her an old acoustic guitar that she lugged around the world and strummed during downtime between fashion shoots, but that was the extent of her playing.
Lennon, 35, has been deep into the music world for most of his life. When he was 20, he backed his mother on her album "Rising" and soon after joined New York art-pop group Cibo Matto as bassist. A solo career never gained much traction, though. His 1998 debut album, "Into the Sun," was an accomplished collection of psychedelic pop released on the Beastie Boys' Grand Royal label but failed to win him much of a fan base. The follow-up didn't come until 2006, and the commercial impact of "Friendly Fire" was even more mild.
With GOASTT, Lennon seems re-energized, mostly thanks to Kemp Muhl. He's quick to praise her growing musical skills at every opportunity during a chat with the couple on a Sunday in December, just after they returned to Manhattan from a European tour.
"In the beginning, you weren't writing as much," Lennon says when talking about the band's creative process. "Now you're just like, 'Check it out, I wrote 15 chords to go into the second verse.' She's really learned a lot about chords and melodies in the last four years. I've never seen somebody figure it out so quickly."
The songs are always collaborative, but they emerge from varying bits and pieces each time. Sometimes there will be a bass line, a chord change or even a single word that springs the process.
"It's really like filling in a crossword puzzle for us," Kemp Muhl says. "We'll start at the top of the pyramid, like a title, and work our way down."
However the creation plays out, the duo has landed on a specific sound on the debut album. It's one that plays off opposites. The songs are both delicate and dark, with sweet melodies and foreboding lyrics.
"He climbed aboard/An upside down bus/With bottlecap eyes/He soon realized/Nobody else but he survived," the pair sing in perfect harmony over lightly plucked guitar on "Robot Boy." The lyrics about death and disaster paired with the pristine sound is an intentional dichotomy.
"You don't want to be too saccharine," Lennon says. "But then you don't want to be too self-indulgently morbid, so you want to have some musical beauty to relieve it."
"We really get off on imbuing a lot of subtle dissonance and weird undertones to the words and melodies but disguising it with a pretty, traditional twist," Kemp Muhl adds.
Traditional may fit as a description of the music, but both Lennon and Kemp Muhl are aware that their backgrounds bring baggage. That's one reason they are keeping things low-key, eschewing a label and releasing the album through Lennon's own label, Chimera Music. As for preconceived notions people may have, it's something they're used to dealing with.
"It makes people very cynical of you," Kemp Muhl says of being a musician with a modeling background. "I'm probably more shy onstage since I've become aware of the stigma of it."
Lennon, meanwhile, has the unenviable task of living in the shadow of one of the most beloved musical figures of all time.
"There are always going to be some people who are only there for [other reasons]," Lennon says of Beatles obsessives and other curiosity seekers. "We welcome one and all," he says matter-of-factly.
And while their songs may work with both light and dark elements, Kemp Muhl is happy to put an all-positive spin on the future.
"When people don't know the music, and you can't expect them to yet, they'll go for whatever superficial reason they are going," she says. "But eventually when people hear the music, they'll come for the right reasons."THE GHOST OF a SABER TOOTH TIGER

The camp of Logan slugger Alex Leapai are hopeful of having a date set within days as the heavyweight begins work for his Cinderella title shot against world champion Wladimir Klitschko.
Leapai's trainer and manager Noel Thornberry is no stranger to the delicate dealings that can take place before a fight and has been in constant contact with Klitschko's handlers and the various sanctioning bodies to try to lock in a place and time for the bout.
Thornberry said negotiations were progressing well and felt the announcement of a firm date wasn't far away, with both parties starting to tick the final boxes off their list.
There had been some earlier suggestions the bout could even be held in Australia but it seems likely to be staged in Europe, potentially Germany in late April, where WBO champion Klitschko can draw huge crowds as well as a hefty purse.
''Everything is going well and relations are good,'' Thornberry said. ''There's nothing set in stone yet but we're hopeful of having something in coming days.
''I'd say it could be in Europe. The relationship is very cordial and I'm sure we'll come up with a solution that suits us both.''
Leapai has already started preliminary work for the fight, which is a fairytale outcome for the heavy fisted Samoan-born warrior from Logan, who sprung one of the upsets of 2013 when he beat Russia's Denis Boytsov to earn a once-in-a-lifetime shot at Klitschko's belt.
The 34-year-old stands to collect at least $1 million from the fight and the final figure will likely be more. It's not a bad effort for a delivery driver from Logan who has a puncher's chance at becoming Australia's first legitimate world heavyweight champion.
Even making the fight is a massive achievement for Leapai, who spent time in jail in his youth before finding salvation in the ring. He slowly added some boxing smarts to his powerful right hand and in an old-fashioned boxing story, the type of which the sport needs badly in Australia, has climbed all the way to an unlikely title shot.
Thornberry said Leapai (30-4-3) was relaxed as the backroom dealings continue around him. He will face a mammoth task against Klitschko (61-3-0), who has dominated the heavyweight ranks for a decade and will be installed as a short-priced favourite.
Only the great Joe Louis (11 years) has held the heavyweight title longer than Klitschko, who has had at least once piece of the crown since he defeated Chris Byrd for the IBF belt in 2006.

I've been thinking a lot about control lately.
Sometimes it's a good thing, like when you want to eat all the Cheez-Its while your healthy dinner is cooking (true story). Self-control is an amazing quality to have and one I continue to cultivate.
But where else is control a good thing? Can a person really control anything besides his/her own behaviors, actions, thoughts and feelings? I'm inclined to say no. And I think we spend a lot of time being unhappy because we're trying so dang hard to control things that are, frankly, out of our control.
I had one of those "a-ha" moments recently. Dinner has always been a battle with my son. To the point where pretty much everyone dreaded it. I'd cook a healthy meal, my husband and I could beg/cajole/threaten/barter/bribe our son to just take a bite, he'd refuse. Repeat. Sometimes it ended with me in tears, because even though I know I shouldn't take the opinions of a 3-year-old to heart, sometimes it really, really hurt that he rejected the meals I cooked. It got so bad that one night (when he was having sweet potato pancakes – a favorite – for dinner), my son announced, "This isn't dinner. This is yummy!" Dinner had officially became a bad word.
Well, I got tired of being angry and frustrated after a meal. So I hopped on Google and found this wonderful piece from Positive Parenting Solutions. It wasn't about the food – it was about power. Colt is definitely entering a more defiant stage, so it makes sense that he's figured out he can assert power over us at the dinner table, IF WE LET HIM. .
For the past few days, I have not engaged with him. I give him a plate of food (making sure to add one or two familiar foods if the main dish is something new), I ask him to eat and then I let it go. We tell him when dinner is about to be over, and then take the plate away when it's over. No fighting, no whining, no threatening. He doesn't always eat, but that's ok. I'm giving him the power to choose, rather than trying to control whether he eats or not.
I know from my recovery work that trying to control too much is a guarantee that something will go wrong. Took me awhile to make the connection between the dinner battles and my need to control everything, but now that I have – sweet relief. Dinner is pleasant again. The part I can control is providing him with healthy foods. The rest is up to him.
What areas of parenting do you think you've been trying to control too much?

I view Zach Strief as the highest priority free agent for the Saints this offseason. That's not to say Jimmy Graham is a situation that needs to be dealt with, or that he's not a more important player to the Saints, but I view the risk of losing him as zero. There's an outside chance the Saints could trade him, I guess, but even then you're getting a return on him. In Strief's case, there's the strong risk he's lost outright. So I view that situation as a lot less reassuring. It's no secret the Saints' cap situation will require careful navigation this offseason, and even if Strief could be retained there's a price tag the Saints just won't be able to go over. We don't know what that figure is, but we can use clues to at least tell us what he'll realistically make.
First off, I just want to vocalize that I view Chicago (Aaron Kromer is their offensive coordinator), Buffalo (Doug Marrone, head coach), and Oakland (Dennis Allen, head coach) as possible suitors for Strief because these coaches all know what kind of character Strief is and the locker room benefit he brings. The Bills have veteran Erik Pears for one more season under contract at right tackle but he was average in performance last season. The Bears started a 5th round rookie last season, Jordan Mills out of Louisiana Tech, and he really struggled in 16 starts. The Raiders had Tony Pashos last year who is serviceable but old, and he's a free agent. Strief is 30 and coming off his best season as a pro, and this is possibly his last chance to get a good contract. I likened this situation a bit to Scott Fujita in 2010. Fujita was a good player and a great leader and he was coming off a great season, he wanted to stay in New Orleans, but the money the Browns offered was just too good to pass up. The Saints never came close to what the Browns were offering. I think while the Saints coaching tree will try to pluck him (Kromer and Allen in particular I'm confident are going to make a run), there could be a slew of other teams looking to upgrade at the offensive line. Good tackles are very hard to find and there are countless lines in shambles in the league.
So what is Strief's value exactly?
Well, you'll remember the Bears stole Jermon Bushrod from the Saints last offseason for 5 years, $36 million. Now, Bushrod is a left tackle, he was 28 last offseason, and he was just coming off his second Pro Bowl season. Strief is a right tackle, he's 30, and he's never been to the Pro Bowl. Still, he's also coming off his best season. I feel safe in saying Strief won't command that kind of money.
A more apt comparison perhaps last offseason was Gosder Cherilus, a right tackle. While Cherilus has never made a Pro Bowl, either, he was drafted in the 1st round back in 2008 and he was 28 last offseason (Strief was drafted in the 7th round, but clearly his value is much higher than that now). Cherilus was not re-signed by the Lions due to concerns over the health of his knee, but he was able to land a 5 year, $35 million deal with the Colts. That's right, just one million less than Bushrod to play right tackle for Andrew Luck. You see, teams are desperate to protect their young quarterbacks of the future.
For what it's worth, Zach Strief was rated as the 7th best tackle in the NFL this past year (left and right combined) by Pro Football Focus. That's pretty significant. Gosder Cherilus was rated 8th best the year before.
Eric Winston, on the slip side, signed just a 1 year deal for $1.25 million with the Cardinals last offseason as a right tackle after getting released by the Chiefs. He was 29 and has never been to the Pro Bowl, and he graded 26th best in 2012 on PFF.
Tyson Clabo was released by the Falcons last offseason at 31 due to a contract too big, he had been to one Pro Bowl in 2010, and he got a 1 year deal for $3.5 million with the Dolphins as a free agent. He had been coming off a good season in 2012 (rated 14th best tackle in NFL according to PFF).
Sebastian Vollmer, who at 28 had never been to the Pro Bowl and was originally a 2nd round pick, got a 4 year $27 million deal to re-sign with the Patriots. PFF ranked him as the 13th best tackle in 2012.
So if you look at the players above, I think Strief is comparable to all of them, except he's coming off a much better season than Winston did. I think you can agree he's coming off a comparable season to all the other guys listed, all right tackles (with the exception of Bushrod). I think he's about as good as Vollmer was a year ago, but 2 years older. He's better than Winston was, but 1 year older. He is better than Clabo was and a year younger. He's comparable to Cherilus, or maybe slightly less good, and 2 years older.
Considering Vollmer got a contract at $6.75 million a year at 28, Cherilus got $7 million a year at 28, and Clabo got $3.5 million for 1 year at 31 – I think Strief is somewhere in the middle. Being 30 I believe he'll probably get a 2-3 year deal averaging between $4 and $5 million per year, which pretty much splits the difference of what's listed above. I'm not factoring Eric Wintson in the equation because though he's 29 he just signed a 1 year deal to put himself in a position to ask for more the following season if he played well. Ballpark 2 years at $8 million to 3 years for $15 million sounds like a fair market value given Strief's age, current performance and what the market has recently done. Interesting to note that I mentioned Scott Fujita as a comparable situation, and while I realize the two positions are valued differently, Fujita got 3 years $14 million at the age of 30 in the 2010 offseason from the Browns. Solid tackles are worth more than solid linebackers, but it's widely viewed that the Browns grossly overpaid for Fujita.
One X factor in this equation is that Strief has missed 10 starts in 3 years as the starting right tackle for the Saints. He hasn't proven he's able to stay healthy through a 16 game season, even though he missed just one start last season, so at 30 that's a possible variable for any team considering the investment. I just don't see how anyone would risk offering more than 3 years to him based on this. I view the max contract he could possibly get, and this would be an insane pie in the sky, as 4 years $20 million. And if anyone does offer him that contract, he'll be gone for sure. But realistically I keep coming back to 3 years $15 million as a possible deal for him. If the Saints offer him that much, or very close, I don't see another team getting in a bidding war and sweetening the pot much more than that.
So, at that price, do you keep him given the Saints' cap situation?

J Brand 10" Ankle Skinny Stretch Jean
I hate capris, but I love ankle pants. Capris tend to cut off your legs, giving the appearance of a shorter stature. Ankle pants on the other hand, are hip and more flattering - just remember, the longer the pant, the longer your legs!
these silver metallic skinny jeans are fabulous for night. they're really similar to a pair of pants leighton meester recently wore.Tags: fashion, jeans, style, silver, pants, metallic, skinny, rich and skinny, leighton meesterAdded 9 Years Ago from Revolve Clothing
I'm a simple woman, and like small scavenging animals, seduced by anything shiny.
Wow! I will let the fact these these are skinny jeans, since they are GOOOOLLLLDDD!!!!
"Amazing waxed cotton skinny jeans by Earnest Sewn. Wear them interchangeably with black pants to add a little edge to your outfit or wear them as your new favorite jeans."
Sometimes blue jeans are just not appropriate for night. But if you're anything like me, there's nothing else you like to wear on your bottom half. These Notify metallic jeans are perfect for a night out.

BenQ W10000 1080p DLP Home Theater Projector
W10000 Projector: User Memory Settings
The W10000 has 3 User Savable Memory Settings, which in turn include other sub-settings which can be incorporated such as the 3 Favorite Color Space settings. The User settings can be accessed from the Menus, as well as the remote control, or the Memory button on the W10000 projector's control panel.
W10000 Projector: Remote Control
The remote control of the W10000 is identical to the PE-8720's so I can tell you right off, this is a great remote. What makes a great remote? A nice bright backlight is a good place to start, and the W10000 remote has that covered. Going beyond that, though, is for the remote to have well spaced out buttons, with different layouts and button sizes so that one can easily learn and find the buttons they want, without having to engage the backlight, or for that matter, even look at the remote control. Lastly, the remote should be such that it can easily be handled and just about everything easily reachable using just one hand.
The W10000's remote does all that. I've provided an image of the remote, and I'll quickly run through most of thethe buttons, and how they are organized.
At the top, all by itself, is the Red power button – Once for Power up, hit it twice for Power down.
The next two rows of three buttons each provide direct access to each of the six inputs.
The next two rows have a total of five buttons – for different aspect ratios. Of interest, when working with 1080 sources, the Anamorphic setting defaults to having some overscan, so it crops the image slightly. I recommend, instead (for 1080 sources) using the REAL aspect ratio button instead. If, however you have some non-HD content coming in on an HD source, you may find the overscan useful, as sometimes you might find some noise especially at the top of the image, this is typical of many such broadcasts, not the projector's fault.
Just slightly below those buttons, in the center, by itself is the Preset Mode select button (one of only two that aren't labeled on the backlit buttons. This will toggle you between the modes, including Cinema (best), Home Theater, Family Room, Photo and Gaming.
Four nice round buttons in an almost semi-circle allow you to select from the three user savable settings, and the default setting.
Next comes the well laid out arrow key buttons (nice and large) with an Enter button in the center. And below that, on the left, the Menu button, and on the right the Exit (escape) button which will move you back one layer at a time from the lower level menus to the top, and then turn the menus off. If you are already in the Menus, hitting the Menu button again closes the menus.
Next – four buttons for direct control of Brightness, Contrast, Color (saturation), and Tint.
The next six buttons (two rows of three) control the PIP and POP (Picture in Picture and Picture On Picture (two side by side images). The + and – buttons allow you to size the "In" Picture window. On the right side, is an Iris button providing direct access to opening or closing down the Iris (there are 20 steps).
The last row has lens function – a button each for power zoom, power focus, and power vertical lens shift. After hitting one of those, the arrow keys allow you to adjust.
And, all by itself at the bottom, where you can't miss it, is the Backlight button, where you can easily find it in the dark. I love this remote, and I've been using it for almost a year.
i should note that it also has plenty of range. No problem standing 20 feet from the screen and bouncing the IR off the screen to my projector, shelf mounted 21 feet back. An easy 40 foot reach!

Johannesburg – Golden Lions' coach Johan Ackermann says it was mission accomplished in his team's first outing of the rugby season in the Lions Challenge, when they annihilated Russia 51-13 in Johannesburg on Saturday night.
"We've achieved our first objective to win, and I am happy with that," Ackermann said.
The Lions Challenge comes in the wake of the Johannesburg franchise's relegation from this year's Super Rugby competition.
The challenge will culminate in promotion/relegation matches against the South African team which finishes last in the country's Super Rugby conference.
While Ackermann was satisfied with his team's performance, he felt there was plenty to improve on.
"One particular area was the restarts. When they kicked on us, we made it difficult to get out of our own half," he said.
"It probably had a bit to do with the weather and we didn't get to do what we planned."
The Lions were in rampant form in wet conditions, scoring five tries. Match referee Lourens van der Merwe awarded them two penalty tries.
The Johannesburg-based side was also solid in defence, conceding only one try.
However, Ackermann said the team displayed early-season rust which he would like to see the team shed as soon as possible.
"There is definitely rustiness that we need to sort out and there were also new combinations and you could see as the game progressed we got a bit better," Ackermann said.
He said he would continue to test combinations before deciding who his regular starters would be.
"We are fortunate there are no injuries, which is the first positive, but because of the new faces there will definitely have to be some guys that get the opportunity next week."
"It was the ideal start and, unfortunately, there will be a few new combinations that we will have to test, which would be their first match.
"By week three or four everybody should have received an opportunity and then we can ensure that we have the best team on the field."
Lions' captain JC Janse van Rensburg said the team would not indulge in any Russian vodka after the match as they had to fresh for Monday training and they could ill-afford any "niggling injuries".
"Next week the level of the competition goes up playing against the Cheetahs, and we want to prove ourselves against the guys playing Super Rugby," Janse van Rensburg said. – Sapa

The Nookie Know-It-All: Love Bites
I'm having a problem with hickeys, and I was wondering if you could tell me how to get rid of them—fast. — Bruisey, Providence, RI
Are you dating a 12-year-old? Do people STILL give hickeys? I'll stop sounding like a grandma…but one more thing: If you want to get rid of them so fast, why are you letting someone give them in the first place? As soon as you feel Dracula heading for your neck, get out the garlic and tell him to lay off! If that doesn't work, try this two-part method the next time you get a neck gift:
1) As soon as you get the hickey (or shortly after), put an ice cube over the area and gently press until it melts.
2) Take a fine tooth comb and "brush" the area several times a day. This will start to break up the blood vessels that are bunched together.
While you're waiting for it to go away, I'd also suggest you break out that turtleneck you got in Jr. High, especially if you have to go to work. There's nothing worse than a boss staring at last night's party.

BN puts snakes to shame
As an ardent environmentalist, I'm every bit as much in favour of snakes as of any other creatures in creation. Besides, my beloved elder son was born in a Snake year. So I feel no pangs, let alone fangs, in heartily joining the chorus of Gong Xi Fa Cai as we all welcome the Year of the Snake.
It can't be denied, however, that though in fact most species are completely harmless to humans, snakes have historically had a bad rep as symbols of evil and cunning.

Lindsay Lohan and her dad are saints
Lindsay Lohan's father Michael Lohan visited her in rehab a month ago. He had remained quiet on the visit until now. Michael talked to the U.K.'s News of the World about Lindsay's improvement. Here's what he had to say, as reported by Star Magazine:
On the first time seeing his daughter in years
"As soon as I arrived, Lindsay rushed into my arms and curled up in my lap and sobbed like a baby. Lindsay said, 'Daddy, I have done some terrible things and been addicted to drugs but please believe me I will never do drugs again.'"
On how his divorce from Dina Lohan affected Lindsay
"Lindsay said since me and her mom had split her life had just not been the same. My heart ached and I was racked with guilt."
On Lindsay's current state
He says Lindsay is enthusiastic about her new lifestyle in rehab. She spends most of her hours scribbling song ideas on a notepad, gardening, and caring for the center's horses.
"These are the things normal people take for granted. Things which Lindsay has not done for a long time because she has been wasted on drugs. I have seriously not seen her this happy in years."
On the state of another troubled starlet
"You only have to look at the poor state Britney Spears is in to know living in Hollywood is not good for these young girls. Lindsay and I both pray Britney can turn her life around too."
Lindsay Lohan and her dad are praying for Britney Spears. I want to say I can come up with a funnier punch-line, but, seriously, how do you beat that? I've written some hilarious shit in my day, but that takes the cake. Michael, I'm sending you my King of Comedy crown. Yeah, it might be a Burger King crown with "King Funny" written in magic marker, but wear it proudly. I don't know how to get the French fry smell off of it. Maybe you can ask Britney Spears. When you're done praying for her soul, of course. Ha! Michael Lohan, ladies and gentleman. The true master of comedy.

We booked very late and were delighted with the hotel.
Typical Cornish building and décor - excellent staff and the dinner was fantastic. The highlight for me was the breakfast and home made gravadlax, and the best scrambled eggs I have ever had (77years old). Only criticism was the quality of the coffee at breakfast. A pleasant surprise anyway.

The hotel was very welcoming and the staff attentive.
We only had breakfast as we didn't require a full dinner
The only downside was the room which was chilly although the radiator was on full ( that's the problem, the single radiator was insufficient to heat the room). in addition, the shower was very weal although the water was plenty hot enough)

Mum & Son visit
My 28 year old son and I stayed here for a night as my son is a great Doc Martin fan and wanted to go to Port Isaac which was only a quarter hour drive away.
We found the staff were excellent and welcoming. We were shown to our room in the coach house which we found to be clean and spacious....in fact my son said he would be happy to live there. We had our own little courtyard and parking space. Although on an A road we didn't hear any traffic. Breakfast was lovely. Full breakfast for me and the staff were only too happy to omit certain bits for my fussy son and gave him extra of what he wanted. We would def stay again

Good if sleeping in main building. Otherwise, traffic noise may be an issue.
We were in the annexe on the first night and found the traffic noise uncomfortable and it prevented us from opening any windows on what was quite a warm night.
In fact the room was a bit musty - as if the windows were seldom opened. We were moved to the main building on the second night: much better there. The breakfast was excellent, as was the customer service. I can't comment on evening meals as we were elsewhere on both evenings.

A little tired
The room (supposedly an upgrade) was a bit old fashioned and tired.
Nothing basically wrong with it, but just reminded me of my grandmother's bedroom. Small TV with poor sound, patterned bed cover, all seemed a bit cheap. The bathroom has a shower over the bath with a curtain, you have to shut the shutters to avoid being visible to people in the carpark. OK for a one night stay, but there are better places. The food in the restaurant is ambitious but it seemed a bit beyond the chef's abilities, some strange combinations and poor execution.
