Seventies-era Starkville, as it turns out, had more burger joints than I remembered ŌĆō apparently I am not the only one with fond food memories from that day. But deep down, IŌĆÖm not so much a burger guy. My Pavlovian responses are more attuned to the pizza man and the ice cream truck, so those are the places where the reminiscing will commence this week.
I cannot begin to explain how this happened, but as we moved into the early eighties Starkville rated two sit-down Pizza Huts. In my world, the western Pizza Hut (still standing today) was the family location of choice ŌĆō thatŌĆÖs where we went after church as a family or youth group. I even remember when they expanded and added the ŌĆ£garden roomŌĆØ. This is where I learned how to blow my straw paper across the restaurant, or if I squeezed it down instead of sending it sailing I could make it squirm like a worm by dropping a few drops of Pepsi on it. Oh, and they had pizza, too. The other Hut, in the same parking lot as the Cinema 2-4-6-12 (I have forgotten how many theaters it eventually squeezed in) was the date night location. This was particularly important for pre-driving dates ŌĆō the dinner and the movie were in spittinŌĆÖ distance of the other, though the spittinŌĆÖ was not a practice on dates. For a season there was even an arcade with real video games like Centipede and Galaga. Sadly, this location has met the wrecking ball, along with my generationŌĆÖs dating history. I guess what happened at Pizza Hut Two will stay forever in the rubble of Pizza Hut Two. Whew.
The Hut was not the only place you could get a good pizza, though. Every now and then we would head for Pizza King. It lives in my memory as a small, dimly lit place on University Avenue near the Catholic Church. For some reason I just found it fascinating and outside the box that they cut the pizza into squares, instead of the traditional triangle. I really liked the unique taste of their pizza, though today I could not clearly define the difference in flavor profiles. The whole place just smelled good, too ŌĆōand by good I mean it smelled like pizza ŌĆō you were just immersed in pizza air. And as a good Baptist I dig immersion.
I donŌĆÖt remember much about the pizza at ShakeyŌĆÖs on Academy Road, but I do remember that each table had a telephone and thatŌĆÖs how you placed your order. It didnŌĆÖt last long, but at least it was novel. And at some point along the way, we all hoped and prayed that DominoŌĆÖs would arrive in a discounted 31 minutes.
ThereŌĆÖs nothing better after a good pizza than a big bowl of ice cream. Or if youŌĆÖre going out, a tall cone will do nicely. First a bit of history: where BopŌĆÖs stands now, once stood a mini-mall. Yes, really. ŌĆ£MallŌĆØ might be pushing the limits of the definition a bit ŌĆō but there were at least two or three other stores only a short walk from Baskin Robbins without actually going outside. In our younger days my brother and I would get the upside-down-clown-faced ice cream cones or maybe a Chilly Burger. As an ice cream addict, I am glad we have more to choose from these days, but itŌĆÖs still hard to beat B & RŌĆÖs peanut butter and chocolate. However, I would be remiss not to mention another of my favorites - the lemon drop ice cream we sold in my days as a clerk at Northgate Superette. I think it was LuvelŌĆÖs - lemon ice cream (not sherbet or sorbet) with little pieces of lemon drops mixed throughout. A definite rival to peanut butter and chocolate, if I could only find some. (Sigh.)
After last weekŌĆÖs discussion of burger joints, I got several emails reminding me of the Mug ŌĆśN Cone, located where PettyŌĆÖs BBQ lives today. That could well have been the source of my first soft-serve ice cream cone ever. And though the Health Food Hut (in Southdale Shopping Center ) was not exactly an ice cream place, the only thing I ever ate from there was a giant, deep chocolate, frozen yogurt shake with a healthy portion of real peanut butter blended in. I just about got brain freeze remembering that one.
The original Baskin Robbins disappeared for a few years ŌĆō mall and all - then came back inside a convenience store. Pizza Hut Two was also demolished then reborn as a carry-out location. ThatŌĆÖs all good, but I would give just about anything for a square piece of Pizza King sausage pizza and a bowl of LuvelŌĆÖs lemon drop ice cream. Just sayinŌĆÖ.
DonŌĆÖt give up. There are more memories to come, including yours.

No this is not an April Fools joke.
A pair of House proposals is being released to spend a combined $975 million on public works construction projects.
Rather than putting everything into one bill, House Capital Investment Committee Chairwoman Alice Hausman says she'll introduce two on Tuesday. She says one will contain $850 million worth of proposed borrowing and the other will have $125 million in projects that would be paid in cash.
It's an unusual tact, but one spurred on in part by the state's surplus. Lawmakers plan to pay cash for some things to save on interest costs.
There's also political intrigue. Borrowing bills require three-fifths majorities to pass. A cash bill would require only a simple majority.
By Capital Investment, DFLers mean, making sure their special interests get all the kick backs so they will work for Democrats to maintain control of the Capital.


text: Founded in Lugano in 1935, the Orchestra della Svizzera italiana was directed by great musical figures such as Ansermet, Stravinsky, Stokowski, Celibidache and Scherchen, and collaborated with composers such as Mascagni, Richard Strauss, Honegger, Milhaud, Martin and Hindemith, and more recently with Berio, Henze and Penderecki. Funded principally by the Canton of Ticino, Radiotelevisione svizzera (RSI), the City of Lugano and the Associazione degli Amici dell'OSI, the OSI is one of thirteen professional orchestras currently active in Switzerland. It also enjoys the financial support of its International Partner, Helsinn. Consisting of forty-one permanent musicians, it performs the concert for RSI - Rete Due and regularly takes part in the Lugano Festival, the Settimane Musicali in Ascona and the Martha Argerich Project. The Orchestra della Svizzera italiana works with the great names of orchestral conducting and with internationally acclaimed soloists, performing at major venues both in Switzerland and abroad. The OSI has made numerous studio recordings both for radio and for important record labels. Its strong ties with the region are maintained through an extensive series of concerts aimed at local communities and joint projects with the Conservatorio della Svizzera italiana. Since 2010 the OSI has performed at the Parco della Musica in Rome under Lorin Maazel, at the Teatro alla Scala in Milan with Salvatore Accardo, on tour throughout Switzerland with Vadim Repin, in the main theatres of Brazil under John Neschling and in South Korea with Vladimir Ashkenazy. Alain Lombard was appointed in 2005 honorary conductor. Since September 2013 the OSI has worked with the great conductor and pianist Vladimir Ashkenazy, who will direct the orchestra for the next four seasons as principal guest conductor. From the 2015–16 season the OSI will be directed by German conductor Markus Poschner, who as its principal conductor will guide the orchestra in its future ventures.

Today I presented a Renovate Your Body (RYB) seminar at my Gym. We had fun, raised some money for a great kid and covered a lot of theoretical ground. For the most part, the audience was engaged, connected and interested. Possibly even motivated. But not everyone. There were a few who looked as though they may have been dragged along at gun point. As a presenter, it's easy to spot the 'I'm not ready to change and you can't teach me anything anyway', brigade.
There are always a few.
All I can do for my audience is teach, coach, inspire, educate and encourage. What I can't do, is change anyone. The only person I can change is me. Sure, I can influence others but ultimately, the power, impact and value of my words will come down the hearer's ability to acknowledge what's relevant and then apply it practically.
To turn my theory into their reality.
When it comes to the challenge of transforming our life in a positive, practical and permanent manner, most of us are educated enough, smart enough, talented enough, resourceful enough and good enough. We have what it takes to create radical change but sadly, some of us are simply not ready enough. Ready to get uncomfortable. Ready to face our fears. Ready to make the tough decisions. To be brutally honest. To let go of our security blanket. To let go of our destructive relationships. To learn new things. Unlearn old ones.
To turn our knowing into doing.
As 'works in progress' (that's most of us isn't it?), we can absorb educational, inspirational and motivational theory until we're blue in the face but unless we're genuinely ready to roll up our sleeves and do what success demands, it's all just worthless information and cerebral clutter.
I hope the folded arms brigade will open up soon.

There are movies which are blessed with a trusted star casts, a reputed director and an interesting subject. Despite this well made potpourri, they somehow fail to make an impact. Sadly, D-Day belongs to this category. Owing to its ineffective treatment, it fails to leave an impression upon you.
D-Day (not Dry-Day, not dooms-Day, the 'D' is a reference made to Dawood), directed by Nikhil Advani starts on a promising note with four RAW undercover agents about to put the last nail into the coffin and nab the most wanted man of India, played by Rishi Kapoor (Goldman). From a moment of crescendo into that high octane action scene, the movie goes into a flashback to establish the 4 characters narrated by Irrfan Khan (Wali). Wali has been living a double life Pakistan for last nine years to keep an eye on Goldman and has a wife with a child. Rudra (Arjun) is a suspended Army officer, Zoya (Huma) is on the verge of a break up with her husband, and Aslam (Akash) is disguised as a chauffeur for Goldman. Thrown in is an out of box love angle between Rudra and Suraiya (Shruti Hassan). When the mission fails, all the agents are left to fend for themselves and thrive under challenging circumstances. What ensues is a bird-dog game between these agents and Pakistan.
Beneath a high voltage action packed offering, D-Day has emotions of its protagonists reeling with love and lost feelings. Despite on a national mission involving risk of lives, their emotionally wrenching present keeps them in double minds. Having these well tested ingredients, D-Day fails to make your day owing to myriad loose ends which I won't discuss for the fear of spoiling your fun.
Few scenes worthy of mentions are: Rajpal Yadav jumping like a monkey while singing "Laaal meri.. Ohhh Laal meri" (Monkey=Laal, naughtyyyy??) and the song "Alvida'' which had my heart in my mouth.
Performance wise, it's simply Irrfan and Arjun with their tout dialogue deliveries and on screen persona. Rishi Kapoor in yet another act of a terror-monger can't match upto his performance in Agneepath and is merely left speaking with a cornered facial expressions behind his flashy glares.
Nikhil Advani in his attempts to redeem his misdeeds of "Chandni Chowk to China" and "Salaam-e-Ishq" misses by a whisker.
D-Day for me is simply an opportunity went begging of being an outstanding action thriller.

Henryk Konopacki died instantly in the horror smash near Barham in May, but expert accident investigators could find no reason why he veered off the London-bound carriageway.
The 57-year-old Polish driver was said to be very experienced and carrying a load of potatoes at the time of the crash, which closed the road for several hours.
A post mortem examination revealed he suffered multiple injuries and had a high level of alcohol in his liver.
But a pathologist's report to the hearing said the results could not be used to conclude he had been drinking before the crash.
The incident was witnessed by taxi driver Ben Brazil and his passenger Anthony Stigle, who were behind the truck on the A2 in the inside lane.
Mr Brazil said: "The traffic was very light and the lorry was doing about 55mph. I was about three car lengths behind when I saw the lorry weave a bit then go straight off to the left into the bridge. There were no brake lights.
"I knew from the moment it started wavering there was going to be an accident."
Mr Stigle added: "I thought 'he's going to hit the bridge'. It was like it was on rails because it was on the crash barrier. I said, 'that will be a fatal'."
Police forensic accident investigator Robert Giles told the inquest he could find no defects with the road or vehicle - or adverse weather conditions - that might have contributed to the accident.
He said the lorry had mounted the crash barrier near the bridge and the cab had been destroyed in the impact.
A study of the lorry's tachograph card revealed the driver had been taking adequate rest periods and investigations showed he was not using his mobile phone at the time.
"There is no obvious reason why the vehicle left the road," he said.
Mr Konopacki's daughter, Ann Cedrowski, told coroner Rebecca Cobb her father was on medication for hypertension, but had never suffered from any episodes of blacking out.
She also said he was in good spirits and looking forward to coming home for a family celebration.
Recording that his death had been an accident, Miss Cobb said: "For reasons not established by the evidence, his truck left the road.
"There is no evidence of contributory factors, defects to the vehicle or road, or suicidal intent."

As SAFPU we welcome the decision by the Bellville specialised commercial crime court sentencing of former Orlando Pirates and Bafana Bafana assistant coach Phil Setshedi. The successful prosecution of Mr Setshedi is a demonstration that, this beautiful game can no longer tolerate corruption in any form as it deprives many a player a legitimate opportunity to ply their trade at any level of football in this country and anywhere else. One such form of corruption in football is match fixing.
Match fixing doesn't only deprive deserving players the opportunity to ply their trade at a higher level, but also deprives the country in particular Bafana Bafana what would be great arsenals to assist and contribute the national agenda.
Match fixing has a direct impact on the development of football in the country. This sentencing will assist in sharing some light as to what happens to the talent that we get exposed to during the playing season only to evaporate or diminishes the minute it hits top flight. Simply put the development of football can't be hindered by things such as match fixing. We need to find a long lasting solution to this epidemic /cancer in our football. The question that becks for an answer as well are how many more matches have been fixed. Who is the perpetrator, who was representing who.
It is our view that this is just a tip of an ice bag. These corrupt practises must come to an end. It is also our contention that corruption in football goes beyond match fixing, clubs collude when it comes to players' salaries, preferring to pay slavery salary, players are not allowed to leave certain clubs cause if they do they will not play football again as they are normally told. This kind of collusion that restricts the movement of trade should be investigated.
These are corrupt tendencies; we should move away from this practise that holds and treat players as commodities. This kind of practise also deprives the nation talent that could advance the national agenda. This further goes to the extent where some coaches and agents collude in doing business, some coaches work only with certain agents, which could deprive other players the right to play call on.
We need to level the playing fields. As much as there is investigation in other sectors such as constructions and the likes we need to investigate the beautiful game and hope that the results of such won't be kept in high offices gathering dust somewhere.
The sentencing of Mr. Setshedi further serves as a warning to all people involved in match fixing/ corruption and anyone contemplating to commit such a heinous act will be met with the full might of the law. We further call on the establishment of a full commission of enquiry into corruption in football which will include but not limited to colluding, match fixing, relationship between agents and coaches. . As the union we will continue to fight and oppose /expose corruption in all forms within the sector we call on.

It provided no basis for any relevant discussion. (since you are asking) However if anyone can give a good reason as to why we should have a topic that just lists localities around cities, I will consider re-opening it.
Why was the "Name your city and it's suburbs" thread closed?

i did not feel that it smacked of boosterism - as we all know painfully well, people have an ability to steer almost any topic in that direction if so inclined.
i do note that this posting comprised merely a re-hashed list with no accompanying comments, so i know there was sound basis, rule-wise, to close the thread.
i understand the futility of threads that result in a stream of 'way to go (_____your fave place here_____)'-type responses, but sometimes an appropriate news article can inform people or engender a fruitful discussion without the need for a leading comment to direct or color any forthcoming discussion. i have no way of knowing whether this particular thread would have done that, but it seemed to have more substance than mere boosterism - especially since: a) the list was the result of a poll sponsored by a third party, and not merely an editorially subjective 'list from a magazine'; and b) the list included many other places outside the subforum's region and might have spurred some interesting talk about local and regional trends in industrial development.
i do think that this thread would have generated some discussion - i was about to hit 'reply' when i saw that it had been closed. my interest specifically was in how certain regions (the deep south, in this case) seem to be 'progressing' in terms of attracting specific types of heavy industry, such as automotive manufacturing plants and parts suppliers; yet these same regions may not be making similar inroads in other types of sought-after investment (say, tech R&D or finance). also, i thought it interesting that the general perception of a city's aggressiveness in courting such developments may not have a basis in hard facts, and, if so, that such perceptions take on a life of their own (why is that? is it ultimately a good thing that feeds the beast, or a bad house of cards scenario, etc?)
some media articles need very few words to explain their significance to a discussion board. i posted a couple of articles the other day with almost no qualifying explanation (this was before i had read the guidelines in this post, however.) upon reflection, i do feel that i (and others) often start these types of topic threads on the lazy assumption that only locals or people with prior interest and knowledge will read them; therefore we are not always as clear in our introductions to the topics as newcomers to our specific areas of interest might appreciate. for the sake of fair play, here's the link - please close it if it is out of line:
i confess that i lack the sophistication of thought - in this arena, at any rate - that comes from having moderated for many months (or years) on a board like UP that deals with highly focused areas of interest. i suppose i'm just seeking some clarification on the philosophy behind some of these regulations. i really mean that; not trying to sound trite or falsely self-effacing. moderating these boards is a job that requires a measure of sensitvity that comes primarily with experience and an unfolding succesion of precedents in making judgment calls. lacking that, i can't follow the logic of how a post like the one made by HSVTiger could, in spirit, be transgressive (though i certainly see how it transgressed the 'letter' of the guidelines listed above).
would it be possible to perhaps either a) look at some of these types of posts on a case-by-case basis - or at least see what initial direction any follow-up discussion takes before deciding to close them; or b) just having a once-for-all sticky that tersely explains the logic behind some of the guidelines, so that anyone who violates them will have no excuses such as 'i meant it in this way, not that way,' etc? i think this would be especially helpful in the subforums, since not all of them share the same set of rules for posting.
either of those options above is labor-intensive for mods (especially the 'a' suggestion), so i totally understand why mods would oppose it. and on that note - true thanks for the tedious asspain that you mods repeatedly put yourselves through to keep this board running as faithfully to its mission as it does. i wouldn't keep coming back to UP if you guys weren't good at what you do, because it would have descended into junior high nyah-nyah hijinks a long time ago. years since its modest inception, and UP is still growing and extending its appeal to thoughtful people from all over - and that is pretty much 100 per cent a debt to the work of skilled moderators who keep this place stimulating and not sensational.
i hope this all came across as i intended - not a complaint, but a desire to understand the logic of the rules. if i understand that logic, i (for one) am far less likely to start a doomed topic or fuel a misguided discussion.
and if i didn't emphasize it enough - sincere thanks to the good mods at UP.

We did at one time allow for such threads, but later we had to add to the rulebook to disallow such lists. While that post does not show boosterism, it is subsequent posts that will. To prevent this from happening we simply do not allow it in the first place.
These "top" lists come out several times a year and they're all different. They prove nothing and show no or little information other than to give someone a chance to say "hey, we're #1" or "we're better than..." which in our experience happens in all of these threads. While it may have not been the intent of the original poster it is against our rules regardless and any threads like that will be closed.

Former Afre Corporation executive chairman Mr Patterson Timba has dismissed the forensic audit report prepared by BCA Forensic Audit Services (Pvt) Limited saying it was one-sided and that he was not given an opportunity to defend himself.
The report implicated Mr Timba of fraud that led to Afre being exposed to the tune of US$16 million.
According to the report, Mr Timba is alleged to have extended the money he borrowed from Mr Jayesh Shah, using Afre shares as collateral, to RFHL and charged annual interest of 42 percent.
Mr Timba through his lawyer Mr Vote Muza of Muza and Nyapadi is accusing the audit firm of wanting to scandalise him by not affording him a right of reply in the report. In a letter to to Mr Budhama Chikami of BCA on Friday last week, Mr Muza threatened to take legal action if the auditors did not withdraw the report.
"We are instructed as follows; that you immediately withdraw your report from publication and circulation to the Afre board, the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe, the media, or anyone for that matter. That you should tender a public retraction of the false and defamatory reports that you leaked to the media," Mr Muza said.
He said in the event of BCA's failure to act on Mr Timba's demands, legal action would be instituted.
"We will be suing you for defamation to recover sufficient damages to compensate our client for his good name and reputation that your report has soiled. To have your reports quashed for violating our client's basic constitutional rights and to report you to your professional institution for not just misconduct but also, serious breach of ethics," Mr Muza said.
He said there had been conflict of interest when the auditing firm accepted an appointment to audit ReNaissance Merchant Bank and its related companies that included Afre.
"In other words you prepared two reports over the same company, for two different principals whose motives and collusion were, and still remain to our client quite questionable.
"Our client's gripe with your report is not only centred on the controversial and dubious procedures that you adopted in compiling, but is also hinged on the correctness of some, if not all of its substance," Mr Muza said.
He said when BCA was compiling the RBZ forensic audit report for ReNaissance Merchant Bank and its related companies, Mr Timba had insisted on giving a written response which the firm did not have problems acceding to it.
But when Mr Timba demanded the same for Afre, the firm refused and insisted that he give oral responses.
Mr Muza added that the audit report had mistakenly concluded that Mr Timba had been unco-operative because he had insisted on giving written responses that the audit firm refused.
"Your unobjective one-sided report ended up being based on erroneous, deficient, twisted and in certain instances false factual inferences with the sole objective of scandalising our client.
"In particular, and by way of illustration, you falsely alleged that our client arm twisted the Afre board without satisfying yourself through a response from our client how such arm twisting could have taken place.
You failed to acknowledge that the company's internal procedures through the memorandum and articles of association were followed in all the impugned transactions," he said.
Mr Muza added that the audit report contained "a litany of incorrect factual and legal conclusions".
"It is clear to our client that you lacked professional independence, were biased and your bias manifested itself through the general malice pervading the report.
"You without the correct factual and legal basis and guided by your lack of objectivity, imputed fraud, and other criminal allegations against ours, the result of which has been to defame, disparage, besmear and humiliate him.
"Your actions in general, and in particular, your failure to afford our client his natural and constitutional right to be heard, demonstrate your breach of professional ethics."

Towson cardiologist faces professional charges
Doctor could lose license over stent procedures

Federal lawmakers ask St. Joseph Medical Center to turn over three years of billing records and other documents related to cardiac care, saying they are troubled by reports of unnecessary coronary stents implanted at the Towson hospital and want to investigate for signs of Medicare fraud.
In a 19-page document made public Friday morning, the Maryland Board of Physicians accuses Dr. Mark G. Midei of "gross overutilization of health care services" and "willfully making a false report or record in the practice of medicine," among other violations of state law.
Midei, who ran the cardiac catheterization lab at St. Joseph Medical Center until last year, is alleged to have put stents in the arteries of patients who did not need them. He is also accused of falsifying medical records to make it appear that the patients were candidates for the expensive — and sometimes dangerous — procedure.
If the board's charges are upheld, Midei could be fined and lose his medical license. Board members have scheduled a conference Aug. 4 to discuss the case with Midei at their Baltimore offices.
A statement e-mailed Friday afternoon to The Baltimore Sun by Midei's spokesman said: "We have just received the letter from the Maryland Board of Physicians and we are in the process of reviewing it. We continue to stand by our prior statements that Dr. Mark Midei's care was appropriate. We look forward to future discussions with the board."
The board charges, lodged after a lengthy investigation of patient records, provide the first independent verification of complaints made more than a year ago to board members and to the staff at St. Joseph, which revoked Midei's hospital privileges last summer after its own investigation.
The Towson hospital has sent letters to 585 of Midei's patients — out of 2,000 cases it reviewed — warning them that their stent procedures might have been unwarranted, needlessly exposing them to the risk of death from blood clots and the effects of a lifetime of taking blood-thinning drugs.
Midei, who is also being investigated by a separate state committee and is a subject in at least two federal inquiries, has said that he expects to be exonerated. Court papers filed on his behalf in response to a malpractice lawsuit suggest that the allegations against him have been inflated by attorneys.
Some supporters have contended in letters to The Sun that Midei is being framed by a former colleague; others credit him with saving their lives.
"I asked for and felt very fortunate to have my procedures done by Dr. Midei," wrote Bill Gavin, who received a stent in 2004, in an e-mail to The Sun. "I would ask for him again without any hesitation."
According to the Board of Physician's charging document, signed June 7, Midei regularly overestimated the level of narrowing, or "stenosis," patients had in their arteries.
"He expressed a little bit of surprise" when told by a St. Joseph review committee that he had an "established pattern of overestimating," the document states.
In a statement e-mailed to The Sun on Friday morning, St. Joseph said it has cooperated in the Board of Physicians' investigation, but declined to comment further.
The board's investigation included detailed reviews of five of Midei's cases. In each, Midei wrote in the patient's records that they suffered from an 80 percent blockage of a coronary artery, which needed to be propped open with a stent. But a subsequent review of X-ray images showed less than 50 percent blockage.
Clinical guidelines generally suggest that an artery be at least 70 percent blocked before a stent is placed, and St. Joseph's rules consider anything less than a 50 percent blockage to be "insignificant."
Midei explained the discrepancy by saying that he routinely used certain percentages — 70, 80, 90 percent — as shorthand to signify mild, moderate or significant blockage, the document says. But he conceded after reviewing his cases that there were "significantly lower percentages of stenosis than he had initially dictated at the time of the procedure."
Midei also told hospital staff that he considered other clinical symptoms aside from test results when determining whether to place a stent, according to the charging document. But a St. Joseph review committee found that, in some cases, there were no "sufficient clinical indications to support the need."
The first hint of trouble came in November 2008, when the board received an anonymous complaint from someone claiming to be a St. Joseph employee and accusing Midei of "medical fraud," the charging document says. The person gave the board a list of 36 stent procedures that were supposedly unnecessary, performed between July and November of that year. The accuser reiterated the allegations in late April 2009, in a letter that purported to list 41 other unwarranted stent procedures.
Board Executive Director C. Irving Pinder Jr. said members receive about 2,000 complaints per year and follow up on all of them. A formal investigation by a board-selected peer-review group began in mid-2009, according to the charging documents, after St. Joseph alerted the board that it had suspended Midei's privileges to practice at the hospital.

Terrible, wouldn't recommend to anyone.. The actual room itself wasn't too bad, except for the fact it's in someone's living room, and is not the hotel building you pay for. We were walked 1km to another property further out of the city.. We didn't actually stay any nights here, we left and found a new hotel as this place was very uncomfortable..

Excellent place to stay if you want some privacy! We really enjoyed the breakfast and it's right next to the Vatican City. The only problem I had was with having no hot water when I showered at night, however, my husband showered in the morning and had no problems at all.
