Drug information provided by: Micromedex
Japanese encephalitis virus vaccine, inactivated adsorbed (IXIARO®) is used to prevent infection caused by the Japanese encephalitis virus. It works by causing your body to produce its own protection (antibodies) against the virus.
Japanese encephalitis is caused by the bite of a mosquito that lives in certain parts of Asia. It is a serious infection that can cause flu-like symptoms (eg, fever, chills, tiredness, headache, nausea, and vomiting), confusion, agitation, brain damage, and possibly death. This vaccine does not protect against encephalitis caused by other viruses.
This vaccine is only available from your doctor or other authorized health care professional.
This product is available in the following dosage forms:
In deciding to use a vaccine, the risks of taking the vaccine must be weighed against the good it will do. This is a decision you and your doctor will make. For this vaccine, the following should be considered:
Tell your doctor if you have ever had any unusual or allergic reaction to this medicine or any other medicines. Also tell your health care professional if you have any other types of allergies, such as to foods, dyes, preservatives, or animals. For non-prescription products, read the label or package ingredients carefully.
Appropriate studies have not been performed on the relationship of age to the effects of Japanese encephalitis virus vaccine, inactivated adsorbed in children younger than 2 months of age. Safety and efficacy have not been established.
Appropriate studies performed to date have not demonstrated geriatric-specific problems that would limit the usefulness of Japanese encephalitis virus vaccine, inactivated adsorbed in the elderly.
There are no adequate studies in women for determining infant risk when using this medication during breastfeeding. Weigh the potential benefits against the potential risks before taking this medication while breastfeeding.
Although certain medicines should not be used together at all, in other cases two different medicines may be used together even if an interaction might occur. In these cases, your doctor may want to change the dose, or other precautions may be necessary. Tell your healthcare professional if you are taking any other prescription or nonprescription (over-the-counter [OTC]) medicine.
Certain medicines should not be used at or around the time of eating food or eating certain types of food since interactions may occur. Using alcohol or tobacco with certain medicines may also cause interactions to occur. Discuss with your healthcare professional the use of your medicine with food, alcohol, or tobacco.
The presence of other medical problems may affect the use of this vaccine. Make sure you tell your doctor if you have any other medical problems, especially:
A nurse or other trained health professional will give you this vaccine. This vaccine is given as a shot into the muscle of your upper arm (in adults and children 3 years of age and older) or thighs (in children up to 3 years of age).
This vaccine is given in 2 doses. Dose 2 is scheduled 28 days after Dose 1. It is very important that you receive both doses of the vaccine at least 7 days before you plan to travel out of the country. If you miss the second shot, call your doctor to make another appointment as soon as possible.
If you have received the second dose of the vaccine series more than 1 year ago, consult first with your doctor. A booster dose may be given before you plan to travel out of the country.
This vaccine comes with a patient information sheet. It is very important that you read and understand this information. Be sure to ask your doctor about anything you do not understand.
It is very important that you return to your doctor at the right time for the second dose. Be sure to tell your doctor about any side effects that occur after you receive this vaccine.
You should receive both vaccines of the 2 vaccine series 1 week before traveling to an area where you will be exposed to the Japanese encephalitis virus.
This vaccine may cause serious allergic reactions, including anaphylaxis. Anaphylaxis can be life-threatening and requires immediate medical attention. Tell your doctor right away if you have a rash, itching, fast heartbeat, trouble breathing, trouble swallowing, or any swelling of your hands, face, or mouth after receiving the vaccine.
Since the vaccine may not protect everyone completely, it is very important that you use precautions to reduce your chance of mosquito bites. These include using insect repellents and mosquito nets, wearing protective clothing, and staying indoors during twilight and after dark.
Along with its needed effects, a medicine may cause some unwanted effects. Although not all of these side effects may occur, if they do occur they may need medical attention.
Check with your doctor or nurse immediately if any of the following side effects occur:
Some side effects may occur that usually do not need medical attention. These side effects may go away during treatment as your body adjusts to the medicine. Also, your health care professional may be able to tell you about ways to prevent or reduce some of these side effects. Check with your health care professional if any of the following side effects continue or are bothersome or if you have any questions about them:
Other side effects not listed may also occur in some patients. If you notice any other effects, check with your healthcare professional.
Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. You may report side effects to the FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088.

Harry Potter 7 :yondaime
I watch a lot of House. It's the one show I might actually make time for right now.
Before the season finished, I made sure to watch it every week (that it was on; a lot of weeks without it).
All glory to Haruhi! The one and true God!
The best has gotta be Heroes, Scrubs and a little bit of Boston Legal
I seriously cant wait for Heroes to come back---> HIRO NAKAMURA!!!
Good lord none of you ppl watch dexter? (NOT THE FREAKING CARTOON SHOW) the one that airs on showtime?
Life is Merely a March of shadows.

Thoughts on Valentine's Day? Best or worst gift? Favorite celebrity couple?
Mr. Green Mountain got me a beautiful limited edition painting that I was eyeing. Best V Day gift ever.
An ex bf of mine once gave me a thong and told me that I could wear it while giving him a BJ for V Day. How classy! Needless to say, I dumped him.
Favorite celeb couples: I like Posh and Becks and Michael Douglas and CZJ.ReplyCancel
My dad gave my mom a fetal pig's heart when they were dating in college(they were zoology majors which explains the access to the heart). Along with a card he obviously found on the floor because it had shoe marks on it. Been married almost 30 years…ReplyCancel
Half-off chocolate tomorrow!!!!! Yes!!!!! 😀ReplyCancel
My 7th grade boyfriend gave me a picture of himself in a heart-shaped frame for Valentine's day! LOL Still the funniest and most memorable gift I've received.
Fave celeb couple: Chuck and Blair. I don't care that they're fictional. Re-watching "War at the Roses" today 🙂ReplyCancel
Favorite couples: Beyonce and Jay-Z ; Michelle Williams and Jason Segel ; Kate and William.ReplyCancel
Thanks FSP!!
My nephew gave me a Star Wars valentine so that's pretty much the best gift ever. Chewie is on it.
Favorite couple? Hall and Oates.ReplyCancel
silly holiday-I think I only ever got a gift/flowers one time, unless you include those cheap,hateful chocolate boxes my father used to give me. I call them hateful because there were only one or two chocolates I actually liked, what a waste.
Favorite celeb couple? Helen Mirren & Taylor Hackford, although most people probably wouldn't know him but he seems to adore her.ReplyCancel
When I was 16 my boyfriend hadn't called me/answered my calls in a week but decided to show up to my house on Valentines day. I didn't open the door or answer my cell. My life was over as I knew it back then because my boyfriend was only interested in one thing. Oh the drama!
My favorite celeb couple is Michelle Williams and Jason Segel, I hope those two make it!ReplyCancel
@FSP- quite the gentleman!ReplyCancel
Fav celeb couple is Courtney Vance and Angela BassettReplyCancel
Same to you, FSP!!
Happy Anoka Day to one and all! <3ReplyCancel
@agent- lol in that case mine is Jake G & Austin NicholsReplyCancel
Favorite couple is Ashton & Mila. Love them both.ReplyCancel
I knew a guy who broke up with his girlfriend on Valentine's Day. It was also her birthday.
Okay, this is long (sorry):
My worst V-day: it was Junior year of college and the first time that I'd had a steady boyfriend for the holiday. His best friend was dating my best friend/roommate, so her boyfriend asked me to go with him to help pick out a really pretty bracelet for her. Fine.
Then I planned to go grocery shopping with her that morning so that the guys could come in to our apartment and decorate her room. Balloons, streamers, cut out hearts, the works. I was secretly hoping that my boyfriend would take the opportunity to do the same for me, since our rooms were right next to each other. NOPE.
So a little disappointed, but no big deal, right? Well, we went to go to dinner that night and believe it or not, there were 2-hour waits everywhere. He said that he'd driven around all afternoon and went to places trying to make a reservation, but they were booked up. It's not like he didn't have a phone and couldn't CALL instead of drive around.
So, we go to the grocery store for some Hamburger Helper and Arbor Mist; but the cashier wouldn't sell it to him because I wasn't 21 yet. We drive to Wal-Mart and I wait in the car while he buys it. We also stop by Blockbuster and get the romantic "Signs" because despite screwing up, he still wouldn't agree to any romantic movies I wanted to see.
Go home, eat dinner, start the movie. Best friend and her guy get home (from dinner where they had reservations) and start watching with us. My boyfriend gets a phone call: his frat buddies are having a party and want him to come. I'm like, "Are you serious?!" but he insists because "I don't want them to think I'm one of those guys who ditches them just because I have a girlfriend." He goes, and says he'll only be an hour.
An hour later, one of his friends drunkenly calls me on my boyfriend's phone. "Karen, you don't mind if [boyfriend] stays here with us, right? Valentine's Day is stupid anyway."
I told him very coldly, "Tell him that he can do whatever he wants." He had been in the bathroom and was unaware of what they were doing and came home right after that, but I was pissed and jealous that my best friend had had a GOOD V-Day.
I'd like to say that I dumped him, but I kept dating him for another 5 years, on and off.ReplyCancel
I'm still hoping for a Britney and Justin reunion, same for Bruce and Demi. Not much interest in the current couples.
Discovering that I can stream season 2 of Game of Thrones is going to make this a fun Valentines Day.
My best gift was a package from my daughter that had her picture in a glittery red frame spelling out "LOVE", with the "O" being the heart-shaped frame. She also sent some chocolates and plastic roses. She's a good kid. Other than that, getting flowers from the SO at work.
I really don't care for these guys separately, but I like Ryan and Blake. For some reason I really like Wiz and Amber, too. Along with Brittany and her Starbucks.ReplyCancel
Favorite Valentine's Day? 2009. I was still in college. Me and my group went to our usual hole in the wall, deep in the ghetto college bar that everyone frequented. None of us were attached. We just had a great time.
Favorite Celebrity Couple? It WAS Amy Poehler and Will Arnett, but since they broke my heart and separated, I'll have to go with NO ONE- they all break up and leave me sad.ReplyCancel
My husband just sent me a texr message with a picture of Joseph Stalin. It says "Quit Stalin and be my Valentine".
So I sent him one of Han Solo that says "Baby, tonight I won't shoot first – Be Mine".
We're pretty much the royal couple of romantic shit.ReplyCancel
OK, gonna say it – it's ok if you throw stuff at me – VDay is fun and all, and I love getting little goodies for my kids (this year the older one got Walking Dead trading cards, the younger WWE cards, and candy, too), but I'll take the sweet things Mr. F does everyday of the year over any old gift that I get on February 14th.
And Mr. F brings me, without fail, bouquets of flowers every Valentine's Day. And every year I try to send telepathic messages to him that he should break down and buy an arrangement already – I have to cut the stems and arrange the buggers myself. He thinks that I think that's fun. But I'll still keep him :-).ReplyCancel
Best celeb couple of all times would be me and Christian Slater.
There. I said it. Now the heavens will align and he will show up outside my door. My husband has only agreed to the laminated list of 5 under the conditions we don't actually do IT if we get the chance. Not sure how I'd handle it if Christian Slater showed up, but I'd figure it out fast. 🙂
Happy Birthday, Beca!!
Honestly, I'm not big on VD (holiday or STD! to clarify!), but if one feels they must give me flowers…a single iris will do, or daisies. 😉
@Fru: my ex used to do that and it drove me nuts!ReplyCancel
Valentines day is for kids. I make my little ones sweet gifts and cupcakes, but I refuse to give in to another Hallmark holiday and pay outrageous prices for cheesy cards. Roses are $10 a dozen every other day of the year , but somehow in February they're $25.. No thanks!
As far as my partner we don't do that stuff either. We love the hell out of one another every day and don't need a corporate sponsored day to express that. I have Valentines 365 days a year! I feel very lucky.
Famous Celeb couple? Antony and Cleopatra
@Karen, yea, it sure would! Not that I would ever cheat, but *swoon* a girl can dream, can't she?! 🙂ReplyCancel
I woke up to a gorgeous bouquet of roses, chocolates, a card AND a Dunkin Donuts Valentine donut. I do not know what got into him. LOL.
I kinda love Keith and Nic and Ryan and Blake. Don't know why!
@Becca – it's no better for me – my BD was 2 days ago – people ALWAYS combine the two. It gets annoying.
My major thought on Valentine's Day – no female over the age of 12 should be given a stuffed animal for Valentine's Day. It shows absolutely no thought and is a little insulting – like you're mentally a child. I realize it's hard for some men to think of a good gift (side eye to Mr. B) but a stuffed animal is just obnoxious. That commercial I've seen this week for the 4 ft tall teddy bear makes me want to put a brick through my TV. Especially the part where it implies that the man who gives it to her will be "rewarded" if you catch my drift. I realize I'm ranting but this really pisses me off.ReplyCancel
Last week I got a text from my husband saying, "omg I got pto for Friday!!!" Then the follow up "are you so excited??"
And he works A LOT, so of course I was excited, but I thought he did it because our son just started preschool and he could drop the kid off at school. For the past week I've been making jokes about how we can celebrate poor people's VDay. We wake up this morning and just go about business as usual, till he said, "Man I can't wait for Valentine's Day tomorrow!" Poor guy thought it was tomorrow & has been super excited about it & I've been calling it poor people's Valentine's & he hasn't understood why I wasn't as excited as him & just ugh. Silly miscommunication. We've been laughing about it all day, but now he's gone to work & I feel bad.
We celebrated by going to the gas station and getting coffee & donuts.
Happy Birthday, Beca!
Lol @ Maja, that's goof stuff!
My favorite couple: TommyGirl & MiscaviageReplyCancel
Its also my birthday, and i so many good memories. When i was still living home, my mom slways made big deal out of birthdays- uou got your fav meal and cake. But since it was valentines, we also had a valentine mailbox, with cards and little gifts for each other, so it was alotta fun. And it continued after i was married with kids. After my parents passed away, i would have big party at my house- food, decoations, and chocolate, chocolate, chocolate!!!! And i would buy little gift for everyone! One thing i had was this about foot lhigh glass dish i filled with m&ms, and a scoop and little bags to help self! It was my absolute pleasure. Well, ive relocated, alot of people have passed on, but i have all those great memories. So im very happy with the day. And happy birthday to my fellow birthday pals!! And for my cynics- sending some valentine fairy dust your way !! Very quiet day now, mr liddy and i hang and mb go out for dinner, and im happy with that.
Fav celeb couple posh and becks- thry have it all, and that little cutie, Harper!
Happy Birthday Valentine's babies! My kids go to school with a boy who celebrates his birthday today (and my kids are day after Christmas babies)…
I don't have a fave Valentines Day but I will say that Feb 15 will be memorable because that is when my husband and I went on our first date. Best date ever.
Favorite celebrity couple…I have two: John Krasinski and Emily Blunt…and probably not big names around here…also Richard Madden (Robb Stark, Game of Thrones) and Jenna Louise Coleman (Doctor Who's new assistant, Clara).ReplyCancel
Happy Birthday Aunt Licky!! <3
Happy Belated Birthday to you, SusanB!!!ReplyCancel
That totally blows. But aren't you glad you didn't marry that loser douchebag??ReplyCancel
Isn't it amazing how we look back and wonder why we didn't see the signs that screamed "dump the douche" earlier? Or saw them but ignored them…ReplyCancel
We just adopted 2 rescue puppies this week. They're cuddled on my lap. They weigh just over 3 lbs. Wish i could show them to you. Best family Valentine's gift ever.ReplyCancel
PugsterMom: <3 <3 <3 Thank you for rescuing! So jealous you get all that puppy breath!!!ReplyCancel
Don't recall ever having a good Valentine's Day; worst one was when my roommate at the time found out that one of my cats had peed under the massage table in the living room (the roommate was a lesbian Jehovah's Witness massage therapist, and no, that's not a joke), and threatened to throw us all out. I just love spending V-Day scrubbing cat pee off a wooden floor while dripping tears into the mess, don't you? (She didn't throw me out then, but I did have to move out that fall after she decided she needed to move her GF in–yes, I was a victim of Lesbian U-Haul Syndrome, which was how I ended up in the apartment I'm still in, 11 years later.)
Favorite celebrity couple? Pierce Brosnan & Keely Shay-Smith for the currently living; Robert and Elizabeth Barrett Browning otherwise. I can definitely relate to Elizabeth in a lot of ways, believe me…ReplyCancel
They were born in a shelter and were going to be put down. Thankfully they were all rescued and fostered–the mom and 5 beautiful puppies.ReplyCancel
Mr. Lioness bought a box of Russell Stover Turtles for me. That's the next best thing to a heart-shaped box of Goo-Goo Clusters, which I don't think they make. If they do, please let this Yankee know so I can drop a hint next year. 😉
I never used to like this day until I got together with Mr. L and my kids were born. I was alone every V day (and Tgiving…and Christmas…and New Year's, you get the idea). The one year I thought I was still dating someone and expecting a nice day, he told a mutual friend that we were "just friends". I kept the red suspenders I bought for them, wore them, and I still have them.ReplyCancel
I'm glad things turned around for you, Lion King and cubs and all. 🙂ReplyCancel
Susan and auntliddy, I have been ranting all week about that same commercial. It's a Vermont Teddy Bear commercial! I would divorce my husband if he came home with a giant teddy bear for me. The worst part of the commercial is when the voiceover says something like, "Don't give her chocolate! She will eat it and then ask you if she is fat!"ReplyCancel
I got married on Valentine's Day, on skis, on top of a Colorado mountain on the Continental Divide. Wish I could attache a picture. Before that, I didn't like Valentine's Day very much. Now, it's a warm fuzzy thing for me. I'm OK with it.
That being said, my husband and I are, at this moment, trying to decide what to have for dinner– the ravioli in the freezer or a pizza. Hey, it's not the falling in love, it's the sticking with it that matters.ReplyCancel
There's an episode of The Simpsons where Ralph makes Lisa a Valentine saying I Choo Choo Choose You (there is a train on it as well). My husband texted me a picture of the Valentine today. It was perfect, no money spent, no big fuss, just simple and sweet.ReplyCancel
That last question is so random. lol Valentines Day stuff and then the favorite celeb couple came out of nowhere.ReplyCancel

Pennies by the Inch continues its 84 year tradition of collecting contributions to provide medical care for needy children at Primary Children's Hospital. Last year nearly $10 million was expended to cover more than 16,000 hospital visits by needy children at Primary Children's.
Pennies by the Inch is a volunteer organization in each community throughout the state. These volunteers conduct a door to door campaign to raise the funds needed to continue helping the needy children. One hundred percent of the funds collected are used for patient care. No deductions are made for administrative or fund raising costs. Physicians at Primary Children's donate their services to patients served by these contributions.
Primary Children's Medical Center cares for and treats children throughout the Intermountain Region without their ability to pay. This service area is the largest geographical area in the United States for children, ( five intermountain states). The children treated at Primary Children's are among the highest cases of a critical nature. It is among the top 10 children's hospitals in the country.
To make a contribution, be generous when the volunteer comes to your door during this campaign. The campaign will run from Sept. 15-Oct. 15 this year. If you miss the volunteer and wish to make a contribution, it can be mailed to: Primary Children's Medical Center Foundation, 100 North Medical Drive, P. O.

Pretty much called that island having a connection to Mihawk way back in the spoiler with Zoro's cover story.
From 559 Spoilers.
but I thought he would have grown up there. Not be living there currently.Maybe the place where Zoro landed is Mihawk's homeland. <_< Wouldn't be too far fetched imo. The style of buildings etc fit Mihawk's design and it would make sense for such a strong guy to be raised in a country at war (well was at war).
Really dig Akainu's tat.
Man that was just so epic and awesome. Can't wait for next week now! Poor Franky and Brook~ lmao.
If there was something that I wished from this "downtime", it was for Zoro to heal, for one goddamn time, to full health, but no! He has been in bad shape since... what? Since Mihawk first sliced him open? And even then he was already Sliced by Buggy. Even in his first encounter with Luffy he was damaged from being in the pole. Every single time he has had some kind of injury.
But good chapter nonethless, everyones starting to move, or trying to anyway.
Maybe Zoro in full health would just be too awesome, so that'll never happen.
also here's quote from you same page:
Step one should be getting that sand out of your vag though.i think ur spot on, especially that GIGANTIC cross is similar with the cross style sword mihawk carries as well as the necklace around his neck.
Also, only 2 strawhats to go!!! Although these chapters really aren't ANSWERING the "How do they meet back up?" issue. So far, Chopper seems to be the only one making any progress. lol.
This was an ok chap.

It's a very good week to pick as California's Native Plant Week!
Lots of native plant sales and garden tours are coming up - just as a short peek at my immediate locales:- April 21 and 22 is the Going Native Garden Tour, which Ms Town Mouse is involved in orgainzing - and her garden is also on display. April 21 is also when to hit the Santa Cruz CNPS plant sale and Santa Clara CNPS plant sale - so get out there and Go Native!
|Ceanothus "Julia Phelps" graces the bird bath. Still blooming - Dark star has just about finished - these are nursery bought cultivars, very floriferous and loved by pollinators and people alike.
|Lovely delicate blossom of Iris fernaldii - local wild iris I'm growing.
|They are a bit floppy. Did I baby them too much? They like high shade. These are under a dark star ceanothus - not very high.
|Local wild monkeyflower starting to bloom - and be eaten with relish by variable checkerspot caterpillars.
|Oh, the cloud of delicate awns blowing in the breeze, catching the light. Nodding needlegrass, Nasella cernua. Another local wild plant I'm growing. Lots of the new babies I planted out are doing well. Rabbits do eat it if they can, though.
No poet has yet sung the full beauty of our poppy, no painter has successfully portrayed the satiny sheen of it lustrous petals, no scientist has satisfactorily diagnosed the vagaries of its variations and adaptability. In its abundance, this colorful plant should not be slighted: cherish it and be ever thankful that so rare a plant is common.—John Thomas Howell, botanist (1937)
quoted from: http://www.ucpress.edu/content/chapters/10911.ch01.pdf
|The seep monkeyflower, Mimulus guttatus, another local native, comes back in pots where I grew it last year. Requires regular water. I love the buttery blooms with their red spotted throats.
|Yet another local native that's very gardenworthy, purple bush lupine, Lupinus arboreus, the lavender colored form. When they thrive, they grow big and bushy and have wonderful large blooms. Sometimes they just up and die, and I don't know why.
|I love how poppies emerge.
|Purple sage, Salvia leuchophylla - still just going gangbusters! Grows natively as far north as Monterey county (just south of us). This one is a mother plant for the CNPS propagation group I volunteer with.
|Hummingbird sage, Salvia spathacea - has a very long bloom period!
|Another trusty bloomer - seaside daisy, Erigeron glaucus. Grows locally on the coast, but not up here on the ridge.
|Lovely little violets, local natives that just volunteered in my garden. Viola adunca.
|Western bleeding heart, Dicentra formosa - native in the county but not close to where I live. So pretty, and foliage so delicate. They completely disappear when they're done! then they pop up next spring. They pread from stolons, underground stems.
|Not in my garden but just down the road - I have not yet been able to grow these from seed. Aquilegia formosa, columbine.
|Western morning glory, Calystegia occidentalis. Local native volunteer - covering the toyon. I like it but sometimes I pull it off things if it's smothering them. It is a bit weedy around here.
|Blue eyed grass, Sisyrynchium bellum. So glossy and nice. Nursery bought. native almost all over California.
|Blue eyed grass - with syrphid fly - local pollinator.
|Soap plant, Chlorogalum pomeridianum - starts opening around 4 pm. This photo taken around 7 pm, so it's a bit fuzzy. Spidery and interesting plant - not easy to get a good picture though! This is a wild native volunteer.
|DON'T PLANT A PEST - I will remove this Spanish lavender. It doesn't take over - yet. But it definitely spreads. I've seen it sneakin around my place. What's your experience of this one? Other lavenders, I haven't seen spreading.
|Nursery bought local native - coast dudleya, Dudleya caespitosa. It's just budding now, not flowering. I love this one's red stems
|Here's another coast dudleya - stems not so red.
|And this is Dudleya cymosa, rock dudleya or canyon dudleya. Vivid orange-red flowers, actually these ones are nearly done blooming but I think more are on the way. Also nursery bought and native in most parts of California.
|Similar little iceplant with softer pink flowers. Succulents are good near a house, in fireprone areas. I hope these will spread where they are planted - and no more. That was the assurance!
Well that was quite a trip I must say - and I forgot one or two native bloomers, oh well.
I'll log on late to the garden blogger's bloom day site hosted by Carol at May Dreams Gardens every 15th of the month - thanks Carol! Better late than never. And if you haven't seen Town Mouse's bloom day post, please scroll on! It's magnifique!

I was glad to read the very good letters to the Editor in the Commentary of SunAd and the Progress from Alan J Peterson and Louis J Sansevero. (Tues, Mar. 15th issue).
I agree with both whole heartedly; they said what I feel much better than I could have. Also, Rick Shaw, Thank You, for all the information that you have given this area about the 477 Bill that flew through the Legislature way too fast. I feel that without your help, many people my age would not be able to stay informed. Yes, I can still read my SunAd and Emery County Progress, and you lay it out so we can understand it better. Thanks.
Even though I live in Emery County, I hope that you will still keep us up on what is happening about the water projects that could negatively affect Carbon County so badly if "we" (have family and friends this will affect) don't keep fighting to keep what is natural flow drainage. Emery County lost way too much a century ago to Sanpete; let's fight to keep it from happening again.
Water is so vital for quality of life and getting and keeping good jobs right here at home. More people should get involved and fight for water rights...now, before it is too late.
Like I heard last night from a speaker at a meeting I attended, "if a tsunami hits Green River and destroys the new nuclear power plant that would surely help, not hurt, our area, you will already be dead and won't have to worry about a melt down."....funny but true. Old, old nuclear plants in Japan...sad news of course from there; that should not be a factor in whether a new/soundly regulated plant gets built in Green River.
I am also a vocal advocate of our clean coal fired power plants. I tell everyone I meet about our beautiful blue skys, good jobs, regulations that are ongoing. If they want to see uncontrolled coal fired power plants...where much of our nations coal is shipped to...go to China or India.
Thanks for letting me express my opinion.

Inbound.org is a great new joint venture by Rand Fiskin (CEO of SEOMOZ) and Dharmesh Shah (CTO of Hubspot), both massive players of the "Inbound Marketing" field, I believe they may have even coined that phrase. The aim of the site in their own words is to "prevent great content from the world of inbound marketing from going unnoticed". The site was launched just a few days ago in a flurry of twitter activity and is attracting some serious interest from bloggers, marketers and the internet marketing community in general.
The site has been launched MVP (Minimum viable product) focusing on the "must haves" rather than "nice to haves" which is understandable as it's a just for fun project from two super busy guys! However, I'm extremely impatient and with the obvious huge potential this site has I couldn't help but get thinking about where it could be going next. Rand did say suggestions were welcome so this is a wish list of features I'd like to see coming along at some point, feel free to add your own thoughts to the comments, I'd love to hear them!
**UPDATED 13/Feb/2012**
This post has received quite a few comments over on Inbound.org with people chipping in their ideas for enhancements, there are also more great ideas floating around the web also at the moment. I decided to update this article to include the best ideas I've come across which didn't make in into the first draft. Keep the great comments coming everybody!
Curated top links list – Jason Acidre
@stokedseo …curate top links of the week cc: @inboundorg
— Jason Acidre (@jasonacidre) February 12, 2012
Jason sent this one over pretty quickly following my tweet about this post and he's spot on with this enhancement. There will of course be many times we can't keep an eye on what's going on in the fast passed world of internet marketing and as a consequence with the current Inbound setup we will miss things. Over at My SEO Community they have top lists by day, week and month meaning you can easily track back to find any hidden gems, maybe something similar for Inbound would be ideal.
Mark post as favorite – Alex Popescu
"I want to be able to come back here and check my bookmarks – that's by far the main reason I registered (here, and HN and reddit, digg & the likes). Sure I will submit an item now and then, but my main motivation to upvote thus bookmark a link is being able to come back later and revisit it if I need to."
I Guess if, like me you have your own system for keeping track of posts you need to check back on then this isn't something you'd be too interested in seeing. My thoughts on this however were more around adding to the community, people could check out posts in other people's favorites, that would be a great way to discover some new cool stuff.
Basic Account Admin – Ker Communications
"Since I registered with my company twitter account, I'd like to be able to change my username and avatar, or register with an email address instead"
This is an idea that I'd completely overlooked because I've been blinded by the "bells and whistles" and potential for the site and community as a whole. I can however see the need for lots of functionality to be added around basic account admin above and beyond the integration with a twitter account.
Search/filter facility
Currently there is no obvious option to search or filter the articles that have been posted which does make the site a little over facing. The ability to see just those submitted today, since your last visit or those with a certain amount of upvotes/comments would make it easier to find content of interest to you. Even a simple text search would enable you to refine the list to your requirements.
Bloggers love badges right? Of course we do, especially one's which say how awesome our content is! A badge displaying the number of "upvotes" our post/blog has received to go along with our Tweet counter and Facebook likes would be great.
Upvote button
One of the issues I can see with the current system is that once somebody has clicked through to a piece of content they then have to remember to hit back on their browser in order to upvote it. If however there was a button to do just that at the end of the article they've just enjoyed it may increase the number of votes cast. Clearly the button could be incorporated with the badge idea above.
With massive thanks to Steven Welder this is now possible. Still a little rough around the edges but until an official button is released this seems to work really well (except I can't get it to work here!). Thanks Steven!
Possibly a little controversial this one but there is currently no ability to downvote an article. I can maybe understand why that is but to be honest if I believe and article is incorrect, misleading or just plain stupid I'd like the ability to indicate that with a downvote.
**Update 13/Feb/2012**
That's it then…
RSS Feed submission
Ok so I know this is probably never going to happen but I'd like to submit the RSS from my site so I don't have to manually submit each of my posts. Did I mention I'm lazy?
Tweet reference
Inbound (quite obviously) has an official twitter account which tweets submitted articles out but doesn't credit the person who posted up the article in the first place. I think it should.
Getting a ton of eCommerce traffic with Blog Giveaways« Stoked- j.mp/xq8WRm – Discussion – j.mp/w7YFtC
— Inbound Dot Org (@Inboundorg) February 11, 2012
Upvoters identity
Although you can easily see the identity of those who have commented on your article it's not possible to see those who have upvoted you which is a real disappointment to me. Often the way I discover new people in the field to take an interest in is by noticing they have shared my content. I also like to thank them as often as possible with a quick message but that's not possible. I'm also a bit uncomfortable about a "secret vote" in a community which prides itself on transparency.
I'd like to see the introduction of notifications when specific actions are carried out on the inbound site. Say one of your articles gets upvoted, commented on or makes the hot list, those are definitely things I'd want to know about via email or maybe just a tweet.
Article stats
If you're in the internet marketing game then there's a good chance you're a bit of a data geek (like me) and you'll want to know as many stats about your articles as possible. How many click-throughs, highest position in the hot list, highest position in its category, current position etc etc. At the moment there's no in-depth stats available in one place for all your articles, you can see the basics under the "Your articles" section but that's never going to be enough for us data hungry marketers is it?
Mobile app
Need I say more? It's 2012, you NEED a mobile app.
Extra thoughts from Chris @ RWS
I've been discussing inbound.org at some length with my circle of SEO buddy's since it's launch, especially Chris over at Roots Web Solutions. He's currently owning inbound (see above top members list) after posting up some fantastic articles, some his own and some from others. He made a few excellent points which I completely agreed with but weren't in my first draft.
Undo an upvote
The first thing Chris mentioned is that there doesn't seem to be a facility to undo an upvote if you have made a mistake and clicked on the wrong post. I've yet to do it yet but can definitely see it happening in the near future, the ability to undo would be a good enhancement.
Karma for comments
One thing we'd both noticed in the short time we've been using the site is the distinct lack of comments which, for a community based site is a little disappointing. The image below shows a snapshot of the hot list showing some of the most popular articles, and how few comments they have received. Chris noted that there is no Karma (the score given to individual members) given when members post comments. Karma seems only to be given when an upvote is cast for one of the members article links. If there were some sort of reward (maybe in terms of the karma score) then this would hopefully encourage the community to express themselves a little more.
That's it (for now)!
So that's it, my wish list for this great new site. I suspect the brilliant guys behind Inbound have already got all these on their list, or discounted them for one reason or another. Either way I'm betting that Inbound.org has a great, great future! DON'T FORGET you now have to go to inbound to upvote this post! If you didn't like it, then upvote it anyway and we may get the downvote feature I'd like too see for my next article…

By COREY BLUEMELStaff Writer
When Steve Thornton was a young man, he eagerly awaited his 18th birthday so he could enlist in the Navy to serve his country. Just prior to that birthday, a friend talked Steve into checking out the National Guard. Steve went with his friend and they joined together.
Thirty years later, an Army National Guard retirement celebration was held for Steve at Camp Williams in Draper. He retired as a Unit Command Sgt. Major with the 115th Engineer Group on June 16. That is the highest rank an enlisted person can attain.
The Utah Army National Guard honored Command Sgt. Major Thornton with the Legion of Merit and a bronze statue entitled, Command Sgt. Major, Keeper of the Colors, In addition to these awards, Steve was given an authentic Harley Davidson rocking chair and a shadow box with his rank and awards inside. "They were afraid I wouldn't have anything to do in the winter," chuckled Thornton.
Thornton was honored at his retirement by 150 fellow guardsmen, 30 family members, and the Utah State adjutant general, command sgt. major, brigadier general, and four commanders. "This was really quite an honor," said Steve. "It was way cool."
In turn, Thornton chose to honor his employer, Energy West with the "My Boss is a Patriot" award. Bob King and Cardell Mortensen were on hand at Thornton's retirement to accept on behalf of Energy West.
Steve and Debbie said that Energy West was very good to them during his deployments. The employees and employer were very attentive to Debbie's needs. The company maintained his wages and their health insurance, and even supplied the family with a half beef. Steve's coworkers stopped by to check on Debbie's situation while Steve was away and do whatever they could to help out. A local car repair shop even made a house call when Debbie's car would not start one cold winter morning.
"Being a member of the guard can be compared to a three-legged milking stool. All three legs must work together to make the stool work. The three components of this three-legged milking stool are family, soldier, and employer. If one of those components is not as strong as the other, the thing won't work," said Thornton.
Steve's wife, Debbie, and his family were honored at the ceremony with roses and a standing ovation. "It's been a learning experience for me. When we moved to Orangeville, Steve had been in the guard for two years. We had no family here and my children were small. A wife doesn't really realize the things the husband does around the house until he is not there anymore. While he is gone, which in the past has usually been two weeks-30 days, you learn to do those things for yourself," said Debbie. "It was really neat to go to the ceremony and hear the great things about Steve."
During his 30 years in the Guard, Steve has been deployed around the US and the world, including Germany, Panama, and Nicaragua, doing the things he was called upon as a guardsman. In the engineers, he has been involved in building roads, schools, bridges and clinics. In Utah, Steve has been involved in building or improving roads around Beaver and Strawberry.
His longest deployment was to Iraq and it lasted a year and a half. While in Iraq, he built force protection, schools, soccer fields, and bridges. "When we arrived, there was no infrastructure like utilities and communications. We lived in tents with the highest temperature in the summer at 150 degrees. During the winter, the highs were in the 80s with lows about 38-40 degrees," said Steve.
He also spent six weeks helping with the winter Olympics in Salt Lake City in 2002. Since his return from Iraq, he has been called to California, Florida, Missouri, and Hurricane Katrina cleanup.
During the retirement ceremony, Steve's family was invited to say a few words. Each of the family members spoke about what the Guard means to them. His grandchildren voiced their feelings about now being able to have grandpa home more. "He can go shopping with us and take us on his Harley now," said his granddaughter and grandson.
While Steve was in Iraq, Debbie maintained a website to help the guardsmen and their families stay in touch because of the lack of telephone communications. "At first we would share information that could be obtained. We built a virtual military base so the families could get a better idea of what the soldiers were going through," said Debbie.
"This has been a bittersweet time for both of us," said Steve. "I'm going to miss my fellow soldiers and their friendships. It's really hard to listen to them say they did not want me to go. I've been their advisor, and the health and morale of the soldiers was my responsibility. But, now I get to have weekends off and maybe I'll be home for our anniversary."
"The guard has been good to us. We have learned a lot about the military and life in general. It has developed both of us and our relationship," said Debbie.
Steve is looking forward to some things he wants to do now with a little more time on his hands. Although he still works full time with Energy West, he wants to work with CASA and spend more time with his grandchildren.

worn them every day since they arrived
"for reference, i'm 5'5" with 15" calves and short legs.firstly, i ordered these a half-size down from what i normally wear and they fit perfectly.secondly, boots rarely fit my calves and these did! yay! they are even a little too big. but still look great!they work with everything! i've worn them with nylons and skirts, jeans, leggings, even sweats (after the gym...thank goodness no one saw me). they are incredibly comfortable--supportive and stable. the leather looks great and i can't wait to see how they look after i break them in a bit more.my only beef is they are a little tall, but i also have freakishly short legs so maybe that's why. anyways, love love love! love!"

I have developed a virtual fireplace app. This not only acts as a standalone fireplace, as there are various features that can enhance your experience. The app goes by the name of Fireplace HD+ & is available on the Apple app store (for iPhone, iPad & iPod Touch) - it comes with a selection of pre-installed Christmas audio tracks & a Christmas radio station (these play along with the crackle of the fireplace). It can also be mirrored via airplay to your Apple TV.

So you�ve decided (or, have already begun) to acquire mortgage servicing rights.
Housing values are off the bottom and possibly�but not likely�off to the races. Interest rates too, have begun what some might consider, a long and steady climb upwards. Most financial institutions might view these two facts alone as the primary reasons for beginning to accumulate servicing.
While today�s current economic conditions may appear to be ideal for an MSR purchase strategy, one must consider today�s competitive lending and servicing landscape as well.
Gone forever are the days of simply buying, boarding, collecting payments, charging fees and chasing delinquencies. Gone also is the view that a simple hedge against fluctuating interest rates and strict adherence to new CFPB standards are all the peripheral protection you need.
If there�s one thing the industry has learned over the past few years, it�s that the government will seek to provide whatever assistance is necessary to ensure the consumer has both the option to refinance (or modify) and the means for securing that financial relief. HAMP, HARP and HARP 2.0 were designed to keep borrowers in the black and lenders out of the red; and rest assured, HARP�s 3, 4, 5 and beyond will be structured to do the same.
To date, these government programs have succeeded somewhat in providing liquidity, opportunity, and incentives to both lenders and borrowers alike. However, as rates rise, and the pools of �low hanging fruit� continue to vanish from the refinancing universe, the industry will find itself face-to-face with the reality that simply advertising low rates, low fees, or another new government program will not be enough to drive the volume required to succeed.
As the industry adjusts (which it most certainly will) to another new mortgage paradigm that will ultimately solve for increased volume, and extremely borrower-centric collection, refinance and modification strategies, servicing portfolios will once again become the source for this new revenue stream. Meaning the MSR pools you buy will become the source for all.
The hedge against a dramatic pick-up in refinancing volume is an aggressive retention/recapture policy�or at least, that is what one would think. Today�s consumer, however, is smarter, quicker to a decision and a lot more open to creative marketing approaches than the servicing industry gives them credit for.
Here are a few facts:
Fact 1: Servicing premiums are as high as they�ve been in years; and if you think you�re buying cheap, think again.
Fact 2: The cost of servicing (and origination) will continue to rise in the future, and most of that increase will come from areas no one is paying much attention to today.
Fact 3: Vying for consumer loyalty will take on unprecedented technological advances in the years to come. Get on board with this, or move to the side.
These alone should be enough cause for concern over current MSR valuations.
The mortgage servicing industry is no more prepared for marketing to the needs of today�s borrower than they were in handling the fivefold increase in delinquency rates we saw a number of years ago.
That said, servicers and lenders both need to think outside of the box when looking to apply creative consumer marketing concepts and borrower behavior to the �old� mortgage banking models. �Statement Stuffing� is expensive and has a very low success rate. Email campaigns are also quite useless. Outgoing call campaigns are very expensive as well, and while pull through might be somewhat higher, the lack of channel control can make for a rather high cost of origination. Others are selecting direct marketing companies to design personalized birthday, holiday or anniversary mailers and emails. While these items tend to appeal to a financial institution�s marketing team, they are very limited in their success, given the costs, and far removed from appealing to the marketing-savvy mortgage consumer.
Then there�s the loss mitigation/prevention aspect. Historically, the most successful servicing strategies include the timely and effective use of incentives, consumer marketing, and relationship banking.� Establishing an early relationship with your consumer is the very best hedge against future losses, and the perfect tool to cross-sell product, retain borrowers and promote a healthy referral business. Finally, the methodologies for delivery of these messages should be cost effective, time sensitive, product appropriate and simple.
The key to a successful MSR acquisition strategy starts and ends with the relationship you establish with your consumer at the outset. If it�s poorly designed, or off target; you�re ultimately ignored. If it�s too pushy, you�re shut down for good. The borrower connection should be educational in nature, focused on that which is relevant and timely, and delivered in a way that would appeal to the consumer�s propensity to help you manage risk. In other words: create an alignment of interest and not simply a friend.

I believe there is a difference between rank-and-file teachers and the leadership of radical teachers' unions. The trouble is, the rank-and-file sits idly by as the radicals embarrass them, time and time again. Perhaps we've reached the point where the rank-and-file can rightfully be accused of being complicit of such behavior.
Why aren't teachers angrily denouncing a recent resolution passed by the California Federation of Teachers in which the union "reaffirms support for death row journalist Mumia Abu-Jamal"?
The American Federation of Teachers, led by Randi Weingarten, has to date issued no statement in opposition to this offensive resolution.
And what does the AFL-CIO, the parent to the AFT think? More importantly, what do the police members of the AFL-CIO think? After all, Abu-Jamal was convicted of killing one of their own.
Or don't they care?
At what point will the teachers' unions be more concerned with the pitiful state of public education than they are about the fate of a convicted cop killer, or other unrelated issues like gay rights, national health care or American foreign policy?
Mumia Abu-Jamal, a hero of hardcore radical leftists – to some because he executed a police officer – does not deserve the honor and respect of teachers. It sends the wrong message to children. But the fact that the union would take the time to pass such a resolution shows the purpose of the union: to pass a radical agenda that has little if anything to do with education.
How PC of them
Disgusting isn't it?
Good morning parents.
When you think about it, public education isn't really about education is it? Isn't about time you begin to think of homeschooling?
One more American for truth and freedom
Why hasn't that SOB been fried and this issue annulled.
I wouldn't blame individual teachers for this at all. Rank and file members of unions really don't have a voice in changing such policies, it just isn't in the cards.
Unions really aren't democratic type outfits, they are run from the top down.
Example given, here in Pittsburgh. About 10 years ago, an SEIU local had an election for officers. The long time president of the local, a Ms. Trump, was very popular with the SEIU brass in Washington and faced a challenge from a local government employee.
Trump lost, the maverick won in a stunning turnaround.
Within 6 weeks, the international put the local into receivership, disposed the new president and installed their own people. The fellow who was elected ended up worse off than he was, he had quit his government job to take the union presidency gig.
Yer confusing Unions with some form of democratic organization. (Yeah, they DO suppport the big-D Democratic party exclusivly).
They ain't.
Once the commies get ahold of them—THAT'S IT!!
Abu-Jamal is alive precisely because liberal groups, like the California Teachers Union, keep funding his appeals!
These are the evil bass turds that we allow to indoctrinate our kids.
Today He has abandoned portions of our society. How long before He abandons the entire country?
Romans 1:28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient; 29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers, 30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, 31 Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful: 32 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them. Who would put their children under the influence of people who God has abandoned?
This is a great example you can use for your "independent" or "marginally liberal" thinking friends!
Let's reveal the face of liberals:
1) The Tea Party is full of racists, bigots, etc.
2) Gun owners are just criminals waiting to commit crimes.
3) Corporate executives are white-collar thieves.
But, convicted cop-killers are innocent.
The California Federation of Teachers are just another example of the classic term: USEFUL IDIOTS
If freed and left to implement his racist agenda, Mumia Abu-Jamal would personally slit the throats of every lily white member of the California Federation of Teachers as a thank you.
And they say the tea party is extreme? pfft.
They are afraid of the thugs in their own union.
Wife and I were originally from outside the Burgh, still religiously watch Pens & Steelers; but from along the Yukon nowadays.
So they like a murdering, scumbag, piece of shit, cop killer.
What a shock since they are california teachers....
FRY Mumia
Idiots. Several people saw him do it and he was found with the murder weapon and several spent casings right beside him. They love him because he's a radical, not because he's innocent.
Mumia Abu Jamal has supporters across the nation. He is popular with some students. He is a cause for the Black Panthers because he is one of the most famous. I predict he will be high on the Obama Holder list for a last minute pardon before Obama leaves the whitehouse. Holder has a history of freeing terrorists. The assasination of Officer Dan Faulkner by Jamal means nothing to the suppporters of the movement.
Organize April 4th No Business As Usual
Day of Action
April 4th came and went here in California and nobody noticed a No Business As Usual Day of Action unless it meant No Teaching as Usual Day of Inaction.
Would you want these people teaching your children?
I agree 100%
I do expect the Obamanation, Attorney Racist Holder and the entire Obamanation Justice Department to do everything they can to thwart justice in the Mumia case.
See post 25.
What do you want to do when you grow up Mumia?
Be a death row journalist.
Fry Mumia.
Mrs. Eagle was a school teacher here in California for 10 years before illness forced her to retire. For the most part, there is not a huge difference between MOST of the teachers and The Teachers' Unions.
All but a couple of her fellow teachers were your garden variety brain-dead Liberal Obamatons.
The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.
It is time that conservatives work to shutter all the government K-12 schools, raze the buildings, and salt the earth.
Damn, that hadn't even crossed my mind.
I didn't think of this but I think you are correct. I hope it doesn't happen but won't be shocked if it does.
I didn't know that California had a shortage of cop killers who say they didn't do it. It's a shame that they have to outsource to another state.
Of course. Public employee unions have never been about working conditions. They should be abolished but it'll never get done in the states that need it the most like CA.
Huckabeeee could offer his personal experience and expertise on this.
"Who would put their children under the influence of people who God has abandoned?"
That is the biggest question in this discussion...
Psalms 1:1 Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.
As parents we need to take back our responsibility to raise/educate our children. And we need to do it in a way that will lead to them being blessed and not corrupted...
1 Corinthians 15:33-34 Do not be misled: "Bad company corrupts good character." Come back to your senses as you ought, and stop sinning; for there are some who are ignorant of God - I say this to your shame.

The Lexington at Jackson Hole Hotel & Suites has proven its dedication to providing guests with great service by receiving top awards every year since 2010:
- Spirit Award in 2013- Vantage Hospitality's Highest Honor
- Lexcellence Award in 2012 for best overall experience
- Lexcellence Award in 2010 and 2011 for consistent guest experience
Here's what guests have to say about the Lexington at Jackson Hole Hotel & Suites:
From Trip Advisor:
"Perfect location, extraordinary staff"
This was our first visit to Jackson Hole, and we picked the Lexington based on its price and location. Needless to say, our expectations were greatly exceeded! The front desk staff (Caitlyn in particular) went out of their way to make us feel right at home. We received a free upgrade to a queen suite with kitchen. Comfy beds, lots of fluffy pillows and cute stuffed animals to greet you. They have Keurig coffee-makers in the rooms, and the kitchenette was well-appointed, if small. We took full advantage of the free cookies, coffee, tea and fruit-scented waters in the lobby each afternoon. The hotel is a one block walk to the town square, shopping and restaurants. Hotel shuttle will take you to the airport and mountain resorts, and the city bus/shuttle stops right across the street every 20 minutes for anywhere else you would like to go. Breakfast is served in the main building, and offered biscuits and gravy, oatmeal with assorted toppings, cereals, pastries and breads, belgian waffles, and alternating breakfast meats (sausage/ bacon / ham & cheese croissants). A fantastic value for the money, which I would recommend to anyone. We will back next year!
-Kristin N, Chicago, IL, February 2014
Best Hotel Breakfast Ever!
We stayed at the Lexington in Jackson Hole over Christmas break. This hotel is very well located about a block from the city center, so it is walking distance to lots of shops, restaurants and sites. The queen suite room was huge, with a much larger than average bathroom, and a nice sized sitting room. The service went well beyond what was expected with maps, driving advice, restaurant recommendations, etc. However, the most pleasant part of our stay was the phenomenal free breakfast. There was fruit, waffles, oatmeal, ham and cheese croissants, eggs, sausage, and even granola from a gourmet restaurant up the street. It was an amazing spread with 3 staff members working hard to restock and clean up the whole time we were there. I was impressed and would definitely stay there again.
– Beaks5 from Santa Barbary, CA, January 2014
Great experience
We had a terrific time staying at the Lexington in Jackson WY. The staff was very accomodating and the room was clean, spacious and worked great for our needs. The hotel is located very close to the town center, within a short walk to lots of great restaurants and shops. We even mentioned to one of the staff that we needed to go to the post office to pick up some boxes so we could mail back a few items we had purchased and she picked them up for us. There wasn't anything they wouldn't do to make the stay more pleasurable. If we return for another visit, we'll definitely stay here again.
– Deede523 from Scranton, Pennsylvania, January 10, 2012
Outstanding Experience
My wife and I stayed at the Lexington in Jackson Hole for 6 nights at Christmas time. Our double queen room was lovely…spacious, clean comfortable, wonderful beds and a separate sitting room with microwave and fridge. We had two tis. Complimentary coffee and lemonade are served all day and fresh baked cookies are provided at 4pm every day. The continental hot breakfast was the best we have ever had…waffles, fruit, eggs, all sorts of rolls and bread. What a great place the Lexington is. We booked in advance and paid in advance. Our rate worked out to be $99 a night which in our experience is the best value we have ever received anywhere….let alone Jackson Hole at Christmas time.
– Tlctlc49022 from Charlotte, NC, January 6, 2012
Excellent Service, Great Location, Clean & Beautiful Rooms
I felt very at home at the Lexington. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. I work in hospitality, and I was very impressed with their eagerness to serve their guests. The front desk agent was more than happy to accommodate our room requests instead of seeing us as high maintenance. The breakfast attendant looked for opportunities to serve us in the morning and greeted each person as they arrived.
The rooms are all very new and are decorated very tastefully with a little bit of a lodge feel. It doesn't feel like "just another hotel room." And the sheets and the bedding – they were heavenly! (I contemplated stuffing the comforter in my bag…)
Lastly, the breakfast was a step above your standard hotel continental breakfast. There was cereal, eggs, biscuits and gravy, yogurt w/ berries & granola, fresh pastries, fresh local coffee, etc.
I'm from the area, so the location in town was not a big deal for me, however, I think most visitors would appreciate being only a few blocks walking distance from town square, shopping, and good restaurants.
Hands down, you should look at the Lexington if you're visiting Jackson.
-Aduncan722 from Grand Teton National Park, Wyoming, November 10, 2011
From Frommer's:
Just 2 short blocks from Town Square, the Trapper Inn was reborn as a slick hotel when it opened 36 new rooms in a pair of attractive "mountain contemporary" buildings in 2006. The rooms are stylish and spacious — the newest are all suites that adjoin, with a kitchen in every other unit — and the employees here are some of the most helpful you'll find in Jackson.
From Fodor's:
This motel is within walking distance of Town Square and has some of the best-appointed rooms in Jackson… Downstairs you'll find an open reception desk with friendly and helpful staff, free coffee, plenty of tall windows, ample sitting space, free Wi-Fi, a stone fireplace, and vintage trapper gear big enough to snare a grizzly.
From Expedia:
"Best Hotel in Jackson Hole!"
The Trapper was great. Great location, hotel staff, breakfast, and rooms. The huge hot tub and heated pool was perfect after a day on the hill. I will not stay any where else in Jackson but the Trapper. -Scott S from Clermont, FL, Posted: 11-Feb-09
"Will be back"
This hotel was perfect for our fun-in-the-snow vacation. The location was right off the SMART (public bus) stop which took us to the Jackson Hole Ski Resort in about 30 minutes. We could even buy our bus tickets at our hotel. Good clean rooms, the only drawback being that this hotel has multiple buildings so you have to walk outside between the room, breakfast and pool/hot tub. -Matt M from Chicago, IL, Posted: 14-Jan-09
"awesome stay"
loved the hotel, great location, 2 blocks from town square. lovely clean rooms, newly remodeled. free hot chocolate in the lobby for the kids, pool too. we really had a wonderful time, thanks Trapper Inn!!! -A traveler from Honolulu, HI, Posted: 14-Jan-09

The Onion Takes Aim at the Birding Establishment
I came across a three week old story in the Onion that takes aim at birders, particularly the Sibley Guide. It's an absolute riot!
Here's a brief taste, but if you know anything about birding, you've got to read the rest of the article.
I don't understand it. How could it have happened a third time? They've had two opportunities to correct it. But there it is, once again. The Sibley Guide To Birds, third printing, page 488: "The dark-eyed junco, a familiar visitor to wintertime bird feeders throughout much of North America, is a species of the junco genus of American finches."
Mr. Sibley, once again, the dark-eyed junco is not a finch. Its a sparrow. A sparrow.
Apparently the 42 letters I sent Mr. Sibley, his publisher, and his literary agent either went unread or now line the nests of Carolina wrens. I'm not sure what the mans afraid of, especially since I larded these letters with all kinds of reassurances like "its a common mistake" and "I get all those seed eaters mixed up, too" and other things I didn't really mean.
And if you're not laughing, me thinks you need a brief primer on what the Onion is…
