Jon Stewart is the most brilliant man on television, and Steve Colbert said it well: that we've all learned "how to do our jobs" from him—our job being to be critical consumers of information and news.

Adam Zyglis, The Buffalo News. Cagle Cartoons —
The Koch brothers have pledged to spend "over a billion dollars to buy the next election," so is anyone surprised to see Republican candidates groveling at the billionaires' feet? Certainly not the "Daily Show" host.
In a clip dedicated to President Obama's trip to Africa, the "Daily Show" host marvels at the fact that "across all the world's cultures, the two things we share seem to be music and Trump jokes."
After a momentous week for the Supreme Court and the nation, was it too much to ask that right-wingers refrain from spewing bigoted and misguided statements about the end of democracy?
After Donald Trump's over-the-top presidential announcement—imbued with racist and offensive comments—Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal needed to come out swinging, said the "Daily Show" host.
In a new segment for "The Daily Show," the ever-charming Jessica Williams argues that not only is the effort to put a woman on the $10 bill half-assed and way too late, the real issue we should be preoccupied with is the gender pay gap.
After learning that Donald Trump hadn't filed his paperwork to officially begin his campaign as a presidential candidate, the comedian nearly abandons "The Daily Show" early.
"The first time the Confederate flag was 'used in a racist way' was the exact second they finished sewing the very first one," comedian John Oliver notes.
Beginning with an apology for his inability to deliver comic relief on Thursday in the wake of the church shooting in South Carolina, the "Daily Show" host gave a long speech about racial tensions in the United States and, above all, how frustrating it is that America won't do "jack shit" even in the face of vicious attacks from within.
Stewart calls Trump's announcement that he is entering the race for the White House "over half an hour of the most beautifully ridiculous jibber-jabber ever to pour forth from the mouth of a batshit billionaire."
Jon Stewart explains that in interacting with Muslims—particularly those who want to drink a can of soda on a United Airlines flight or fold T-shirts at Abercrombie & Fitch—American businesses are more than willing to discriminate.
Though it seems our nation did not collapse after the Patriot Act expired Sunday night, some politicians would have you believe the end is drawing nigh. The "Daily Show" host, however, begs to differ.
The "Daily Show" host combs through every one of Jeb Bush's answers to the simple question posed by Fox News' Megyn Kelly: Knowing what we know now, would you have gone to Iraq? What he finds is both ridiculous and hilarious.
Clever, clever, that Samantha Bee.
With a video montage of Americans rioting over incredibly important things such as sports and pumpkins, "The Daily Show" host exposes the double standard on reporting when it comes to the Freddie Gray protests in Baltimore.
Inspired by our legislators' recent celebration of their bipartisan "Doc-Fix" Medicare measure, Jon Stewart and other "Daily Show" correspondents imagine what life would be like if "normal people" reacted the way Congress does to "the dutiful executing of basic occupational tasks."
The news media trend of displaying teaser videos with clips of the deaths of Walter Scott and Eric Garner on loops is despicable at best. And, as "The Daily Show" host points out, it's a trend we have to "nip in the bud, because it's not going anywhere. ... The ubiquity of cellphones is far outpacing police awareness of the ubiquity of cellphones."
The "Daily Show" host weighs in on Hillary Rodham Clinton's big—albeit anticlimactic—announcement about running for president.
Ever wonder how the U.S. government justifies making an annual $60 billion off students? Allow Sen. Elizabeth Warren to explain.
The "Daily Show" host dedicated two segments Monday night to discussing Indiana's heinous Religious Freedom Restoration Act, including a witty bit on "pizza hate."
Addressing some of the controversy surrounding Comedy Central's decision to hire Trevor Noah as the new host of "The Daily Show," Jon Stewart made a plea Monday night to his audience to give Noah a chance.
No one has done more to combat the bullshit aired on cable news than Jon Stewart has over the years, but as the soon-to-be-retired "Daily Show" host puts it, it's tough to work in "media counter-errorism."

On a March 23 episode of "The Daily Show," Somali-born author and anti-Islam activist Ayaan Hirsi Ali made a staggering claim: "If you look at 70 percent of the violence in the world today, Muslims are responsible," she told host Jon Stewart.
Who knew comedy had such power to bring about change?
How idealistic can one man making a heartfelt call for pay equality be? Jon Stewart finds out in a recent "Daily Show" segment.
In a scathing segment on the U.S. Department of Veteran Affairs, the "Daily Show" host highlights how our government officials have no problem overspending on wars, but they cut every corner they can with veterans' health.
"The lesson Fox News is getting at is very clear," says the "Daily Show" host: " 'Wouldn't it be nice if people who jumped to conclusions and peddled a false, divisive, anger-stoking narrative had to apologize for misleading America?' "
The racial tensions that date to the founding of the United States are constantly being swept under the rug rather than confronted. But the "Daily Show" host has had just about enough of "racism deniers."
Recently, 47 senators signed a letter warning Iranian leaders that any deal they struck with President Obama would last only as long as Congress allowed. But while it'd be nice to call such childish behavior by America's leaders unprecedented, boy, does it have a precedent.
The "Daily Show" host makes an important (and humorous) point about the most recent attempt at a Hillary Clinton scandal.
"It was a festival of slights," remarked the "Daily Show" host about Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's speech before Congress on Tuesday.

Many years ago, a politician complained to me about journalists who loved to dish it out but bristled at any criticism directed their way.
The big announcement off his chest, the host cracked up, teared up and promised to stick around awhile, if only to properly say goodbye. But he gave some clues about his decision.

After 16 years transforming a goofball "Weekend Update" knockoff into must-watch programming that frequently embarrassed "real" journalists and elevated national debate, Jon Stewart is calling it quits.
"The Daily Show" host explains why a recent White House security breach probably has to do with Obama's love of drones, or rather their love of him.
Not much has changed in the GOP since it lost the last presidential election.
The 39th president of the U.S. has kept quite busy since the end of his term, but he put aside some time to talk with the "Daily Show" host about the Middle East and the recent Paris unity rally, among other things.
It's been 2015 for only a few days but all the media can talk about is the 2016 presidential election, and that includes "Daily Show" host Jon Stewart.
It's been a bit of a crazy year for news, but thankfully Jon Stewart and the Best F#@king News Team Ever helped us get in a few laughs as we came to terms with the world as it was in 2014.
After nine years, 1,447 episodes and several well-deserved Emmy Awards, America's favorite faux news pundit signed off one last time with a promise that "We'll Meet Again."
Some people are a bit peeved at the fact that protests against injustices such as the deaths of Michael Brown, Eric Garner and Tamir Rice are causing traffic or getting in the way of their holiday shopping. Or worse yet, seeping into professional sports.
The "Daily Show" host is struggling to understand how so much "random stuff" ended up in the $1.1 trillion spending bill that Congress recently passed.
Fortunately, there are two TV pundits who are, at the very least, trying to help Americans process the ignominy of CIA torture without resorting to blatant denial.
Sen. Dianne Feinstein, who's the head of the Senate Intelligence Committee, revealed that the CIA lied to many people, including former President George W. Bush, about the heinous torture methods it employed. Until 2006, that is.
In a segment hilariously titled "Spot the Africa," the latest addition to the "Daily Show" team, Trevor Noah, compares conditions in his home continent of Africa to those in the U.S. Let's just say, the truth is more than a little unpleasant.
"If comedy is tragedy plus time, I need more fucking time," said "The Daily Show" host Wednesday night as he tried to digest the news about another unarmed black man's death being treated unjustly. "But I would really settle for less fucking tragedy."
"These [Ferguson] protests have spread to what Americans hold most sacred: football," the "Colbert Report" host said Monday.

Fort Pierce woman accused of stealing cousin's Social Security money
FORT PIERCE - A Fort Pierce woman who allegedly took her cousin's Social Security disability benefit payment has been arrested on a warrant charging her with grand theft.
Mary Nell Solomon, 22, of the 1400 block of North 15th Street, was booked into the St. Lucie County Jail on Thursday on a $5,000 bail, according to an arrest affidavit. She was released the same day, jail records show.
Solomon and her cousin lived together at one point and Solomon received the woman's benefit payments to pay household bills, according to a complaint affidavit.
When the two moved into separate households, Solomon was to have had the payments put on a rechargeable credit card that she was to give to her cousin, the complaint states, but in September 2010, Solomon took the card to Wal-Mart and used an ATM to withdraw the funds. She also used the card to buy Oreos and a Coke at the store in the 5100 block of Okeechobee Road in Fort Pierce, it states.
Solomon told the cousin she never received the card, but later admitted she had withdrawn the cash.

Mojopac is a powerful application that uses virtualization to allow carrying the Windows XP profile on a portable device. It can transform your USB 2.0 compliant storage device into a virtual environment that saves the entire OS configuration, applications and preferences, enabling you to run it on any other host computer (that also uses Windows XP).
The software is not difficult to configure, thus no matter if you are an advanced or a beginner user, you can easily have it up and running in just a few steps. In order to protect your data, the application prompts you to choose a username and a password that you have to input each time you access the virtual environment.
The last step of the installation process enables you to choose the settings and the files that you want to be imported into the Mojo environment. Mojopac can automatically copy the favorite webpages, the set home page, browsing history and cookies from both Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox.
Optionally, you can import common folders, such as My Pictures, My Music or My Videos, but also other files in your host computer and MojoPac copies them to a similar location in the virtual environment. During this process, you can permanently monitor the disk usage and the free space remaining after copying the data.
The Mojo bar in the upper part of the screen allows you to access the Mojopac settings and easily switch between the Mojo environment and the host computer.
Each time you plug in the portable device that stores MojoPac, the virtual environment automatically starts running by using the resources of the host system, giving you access to all your music, games, applications and even allowing you to use peripherals that the host computer is connected to. Furthermore, disconnecting the Mojo environment does not affect the host system in any way and your data and privacy are protected.
Although it is no longer supported by its developer and it only works on Windows XP, MojoPac still remains a great solution for carrying your user profile from computer to computer. Practically, it allows you to make all your applications portable and access your important files and data no matter where you are.

It's been a fairly mild winter again.
But back in December, we enjoyed a week or so of wonderland!
I found some lamps ready to light the way
And a little brown cabin
Enjoying the view of the frozen lake.
This magnificent tree
Looked lovely in its winter dress of hoar frost —
As did Ruby!
But my favourite sight has to be
This hidden red cottage
Nestled in a bed of frosted branches.
For more frosted views, please visit: Our World.
Frosted breath
It was the end of October
And the frosted jetty floated in the rising sun.
A glowing Ruby
Was ready to play in the golden light.
The frost turned her breath
Into a white beard.
Grass crunched underfoot —
And the diamond-studded earth
Made a lovely canvas for a meeting with friends.
After all, happiness is a frosted dog!
For more warm stories, please visit: Our World.
Autumn is a glowing time of year:
When trees glow
And leaves catch fire.
It's a joyful time
Of dewy play
And swans
Showing off their families on the local lake.
And, if you're lucky,
You can catch frosted jewels
Among the leaves.
For more glowing pictures, please visit: Our World.
Softly spring
Spring dances in —
Two steps forward and one step back.
Frosted dawns
Give way to soft pink light.
Blue skies are serenaded
By blur of wings and trees
Waiting to burst into bud.
And winter leaves behind
A fragile reminder of its return.
For more dancing, please visit: Our World.
Lemon drizzle
One of the delights of having an early frost
Is that you can capture both frost and colour:
This is one of my favourite photos from October.
The lemon tones
Were repeated in this frosted yellow beauty
While the late autumn cone flowers
Danced in icy tutus to the music of the wind.
There is a bit of insanity in dancing that does everybody a great deal of good. ~ Edwin Denby
For more delicious stories, please visit: Our World Tuesday.
In the pink
The first frost of the season
Sprinkled the flowers
With pink and ice.
Silken threads of web
Filled the spaces
Between frozen water drops.
The last rose of the season
Seemed more perfect in
Its imperfection
And dropped a single petal
As a farewell to summer.
For more frosted stories, please visit: Our World.
Perfect balance
We celebrated the spring equinox
With three days of snow.
But that doesn't matter —
The equinox is the time when the world is
In perfect balance:
That moment when the light of day
And the dark of night are equal
All around the world.
And now, here in the northern hemisphere,
We go towards lighter times…
Even if we are enjoying the coldest ever winter this spring!
For more, balanced skies, please visit: Skywatch.
Frosted times
Let me take you back to the end of October last year,
To a cold day of frosted eyelashes on leaves.
It was a stunning bright day
Perfect for a drive out to the horse ranch
Sporting its old Grand Central clock on the side of the barn.
The brilliance of the sun
Turned the wires into art
And behind the frosted thistles
I discovered a secret world of rainbow bubbles.
On the way home, I stopped to admire
The endurance of this ancient rune stone
(And to wonder if the Simpsons was based on the pattern on the stone…
Look at those eyes!)
For more good times, please visit: Our World.
Frosted skies
It's cold and deliciously wintery now.
But a couple of weeks ago,
When it seemed as if winter would never arrive,
The promise of winter hung in
The frosted sky
Painting hopes and lake
With glorious tones of gold.
For more fabulous skies, please visit: Skywatch.
Frosted flowers
It's still too mild and grey for November, so I'm looking back to the end of October
When the frost presented a cheery iced sun;
And a wild pink rose
Covered in cold eyelashes.
Further on, a rose bud
Shimmered with melted hopes and ice —
And I found myself
At the beating heart of nature itself.
For more flowery scenes, please visit: Our World.

Uhura running behind Spock, however, simply because she "is his girlfriend" is where I have a problem. Uhura is a bridge officer and she has a job to do, and that job is not running along behind her "boyfriend" every time he makes a move. Uhura running along after Spock in this instance is too far, at least for me.
RE:2. As I said before, I am glad Uhura has an expanded role and her personality is fleshed out more. What I don't care for is her sulking and her petulant behavior on the job. It is 'cute' onscreen and definitely makes the target audience smile, but is not appropriate behavior in the work environment, especially within a quasi-military organization. I guess this is why fraternization is frowned upon in our military, and in our workplaces.
Personally, I don't feel Uhura was in that scene because she was running behind her boyfriend at all, well literally she did run behind him after Scotty requested him to urgently come, but she wanted to know what was so urgent that made Spock take off at a run and I think she wanted to offer her assistance. Now, I don't really know what kind of assistance she was thinking of but we had just seen her stab a Klingon in the leg after he had her by the throat. I think whatever assistance she could have offered would have been needed and appreciated.
Uhura is not "just" a bridge officer at this point---not in her mind or in any of the other officers/crew minds. They see her transporting on away missions and see her close interaction with not only Spock but Kirk/Scotty/Sulu/Bones...she's a leader. It's not surprising that she would take off to run to help just as Spock her commanding officer who happens to also be her boyfriend was running to help in whatever situation he was being called too.
Fraternization is frowned upon and yet it happens all the time. The Fraternization between Spock and Uhura happened a long time ago and he as the senior officer should have been punished but he wasn't and so they are now aboard the Enterprise working together professionally and if Kirk, their Captain, can deal with it...so can I.
I'm an Uhura fan and even if she went running after her "boyfriend" I don't think anyone could think she was running after him to get free cuddles. She's an Officer and a professional and a caring human being (fictional character
) who won't shy away from putting herself in harm's way if it means she can help someone in the process.

Response to Dear Men, Please Stop Wearing Cargo Shorts:
Billy Brag always kept it real.
Blame it on No Doubt or blame it on Sublime, but by the middle of the 1990s, very little of the music that was described as ska had anything to do with Jamaican dance music of the early '60s. Too many bands whose sole connection to the musical style had beenafew singles by the Specials or the English Beat got it all exactly backward, with the punk influences drowning out what little Jamaican influence remained: the result was basically Green Day with horns, and it wasn't any good for anyone. It was all goofy band geek clowns playing bad circus music to createasoundtrack foracomedy basketball skit. Most third wave have next to zero soul. Hepcat, Aggrolites, Slackers andavery few others are excepted. They are the best in the business these days. It's best to go back to the 60s stuff and work back towards today to stay on the honesty track. There is hope & soul left in ska, reggae & rocksteady.

1937 - 2012
On Thursday, Nov. 15, 2012, Grace Emily Reinland finished her race with endurance and joined the great cloud of witnesses that have gone before. She was born Grace Emily Larson in Potlatch, Idaho, on July 31, 1937, to Emily Gladys Fitch and Francis Theophil Larson. She was the second to the youngest of 13 children.
She graduated from Potlatch High School in 1955 at the top of her class where she was active as Student Body financial manager and in Girls League, Library and Girls State.
In 1967 along with her three children, Karen, Steven and Douglas she moved to Walla Walla where she attended Walla Walla Community College and took secretarial classes for one year. In 1969 she decided to accept a position at South Gate Fleenors in the meat department. She happily worked there until they opened the Super 1 Grocery Store and transferred her there working a total of 41 years until ill health forced her to retire at the age of 73. Grace loved her job and was a loyal, dependable employee.
On Sept. 11, 1980, she married the "love of her life" Andy Reinland. They had two and half sweet years together. Andy passed away Feb. 23, 1983.
Beloved daughter, sister, wife, mother, grandmother and friend. She was passionate about the things she believed in. Quick with a smile, hug and kind word for those seeking encouragement. She was a mother who loved her children unconditionally and deeply. She was loved, she was constant and she will be truly missed.
She was known for her amazing cheesecakes which she delighted in making for friends and family. She loved going to concerts with her son, Mariners baseball games, local plays and spending time with family and friends.
Grace is survived by three brothers, Johnny, Frank and Alfred Larson; daughter, Karen Casey (Michael) of College Place; and son, Steven Heimbigner (Christine) of Caldwell, Idaho; 11 grandchildren, 17 great- grandchildren; and Tony Wenham of Walla Walla of whom she said "I love him like a son". She was preceded in death by her mother and father; nine siblings; husband, Andy; and her son, Douglas Heimbigner in 2007.
At her request there will be no funeral service. A memorial service is planned in July 2013 at Rock Creek Cemetery in Potlatch, Idaho.
To leave a condolence on-line visit www.munsellerhodes.com.
Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses…….let us run with endurance the race that is set before us…Hebrews 12:1 NKJV
Poem that was found tucked in her Bible:
Miss Me – But Let Me Go
When I come to the end of the road,
And the sun has set for me,
I want no rites in a gloom filled room,
Why cry for a soul that's free?
Miss me a little, but not for long,
And not with your head bowed low.
Remember the love that we once shared!
Miss me – but let me go.
For this is a journey that we all must take,
And each must go alone.
It's all a part of the Master's plan.
A step on the road to home.
When you are lonely and sick at heart,
Go to the friends we know.
And bury your sorrow doing good deeds.
Miss me – but let me go.

CORVALLIS, Ore. (AP) — Kenjon Barner ran for 198 yards and two touchdowns despite leaving the game for a time with an injury and No. 5 Oregon defeated No. 16 Oregon State 48-24 in the Civil War on Saturday, keeping alive the Ducks' hopes for a spot in the Pac-12 title game and even an outside chance at the national championship.
De'Anthony Thomas, who helped picked up the slack while Barner was on the sidelines, ran for 122 yards and three scores for the Ducks (11-1, 8-1).
After Oregon's undefeated season was thwarted by a 17-14 overtime loss to Stanford last weekend, the Ducks had to wait for UCLA's game against the Cardinal later Saturday to see who would be headed to the conference championship game. Both Oregon and Stanford started the day with one conference loss in the league's northern division.
It was Oregon's fifth straight victory in the 116-game rivalry series with the Beavers.
While the Civil War is normally the season finale for both teams, Oregon State (8-3, 6-3) will host Nicholls State next Saturday in a matchup that was supposed to open the season but was put off when Hurricane Isaac bore down on the Colonels' Thibodaux, La., campus.
The Beavers will have to wait to find out where they're headed for a bowl game, but already their season can be counted a success after they went just 3-9 last year.
Barner appeared to hurt either his abdomen or ribs late in the first half and headed to the locker room. He returned after the break, but much of the work went to Thomas until he returned on a scoring drive that made it 41-17 early in the fourth quarter.
Oregon redshirt freshman Marcus Mariota threw for 140 yards and a score, and also ran for 85 yards and a touchdown.
His Oregon State counterpart, Sean Mannion, threw for 311 yards and a touchdown but was intercepted four times. Storm Woods rushed for 70 yards and two scores.
Mannion started the first four games of the season, throwing seven touchdowns and averaging 339 yards, but injured his left knee and required surgery. Vaz, who hadn't started since high school, took over and helped the Beavers to win in the next two games, and later became the team's starter.
But Vaz sprained his left ankle in the final moments of a loss to Stanford two weeks ago, and sat out last Saturday during Oregon State's 64-14 victory at home over California. Mannion got the nod for the Civil War.
A 47,249 fans attended the game, setting Reser Stadium record.
Oregon put the Stanford loss behind them by striking quickly on their first possession with Mariota's 42-yard keeper. The touchdown drive took just 1:46, but the Ducks' 2-point try to cap it off failed.
The Beavers took a 7-6 lead on Woods' 7-yard touchdown run, but the Ducks answered on the next series with Thomas' 2-yard TD dash. Barner added a 1-yard scoring run before he was hurt.
Stanford held Barner to 66 yards the week before, but he had 141 yards before halftime against the Beavers. With his first 15 yards rushing Saturday, he moved past Derek Loville (1986-89) for second on Oregon's career rushing list.

Ask Better Homes & Gardens
Experts and BHG readers answer.
Expertssee all experts
When should I harvest gourds? How do I preserve them?
Harvest gourds when the stems turn brown and dry. If possible, harvest them before frost hits, though mature hardshell gourds (Lagenaria) can withstand a light frost. Cut the gourds from the vine, leaving an inch or two of stem attached. Discard rotten, bruised, or immature gourds. These are more likely to decay. Wash the harvested gourds with soap and water. A dip in rubbing alcohol or a 10 percent bleach solution will help remove surface molds that may cause rot. Dry the surface and place the gourds in a dark, well-ventilated area for a week or so of surface drying to harden the rind and set the color. Make certain the gourds do not touch one another; use a slatted tray or screen to allow air to circulate all around. Discard any gourds that develop decay, mold, or soft spots. Internal drying takes at least 4 additional weeks in a warm, dark, well-ventilated room. Turn the gourds periodically to promote even curing. Wipe off surface molds that may appear. Discard any gourds that decay, shrivel, or become misshapen. When the seeds rattle inside, drying is complete.

Fantastic holiday
Well received at the reception. All the staff were very friendly and helpful. Location very good. The rooms were cleaned everyday. They were well equipped with everything. Had everything you would expect at home.We thoroughly enjoyed ou stay.
recommend it to anybody.
Lots of restuarants around the hotel. The area around the hotel have lots of shops.Can get everything there. Train station not very far - 10 minutes. Overall very good location.
Great but.....
I have stayed at this hotel 6 times now and I still love it, but the last time I stayed I was a bit upset to find no bathrobe or slippers in my room which was a bit annoying as I hadn't packed a bathrobe . The room was ok with exception of the
view which was a very tall bush blocking out any kind of view at all. Anyway enough of the down side. The hotel staff were as always extremely helpful. The hotel is in an ideal situation to see the old side of Dubai, with easy access to the spice and gold souk via the abra. I love this hotel and have already booked for my 2012 visit to Dubai.
You must use the abra to go to the gold souk.
good hotel for a few days in Dubai
The hotel is very traditional - the old arab world.
All in all it was a nice hotel for a few days in Dubai. The rooms were okey.
Outstanding is the service. Much staff which is serving you 24 hours the day - this is amazing for a 4-stars hotel.
Jumeira Beach Park - free hotel shuttle
All you need for a great 24 hours
I was too jet lagged to sightsee and had only a 24 hour layover so I chilled at the pool and relaxed in the sun. After, I ate at one of their restaurants and had a nice meal then took a walk and went to bed(my mattress was great) Got an on-time
wake-up call and had a huge buffet breakfast which I had included in my reservation. A taxi was quickly gotten for me at my request and I was off. Would stay again.
Excellent location, friendly, comfortable hotel.
Excellent location for the old area of Dubai, steeped in history with the Dubai museum and Fort just opposite. Nothing was too much trouble for the hotel staff who were all extremely polite and helpful. Hotel facilities are good with a selection
of dining options, relaxing health spa, gym and outdoor pool. The hotel is only 5 minutes walk from the Dubai Creek where local souk markets can be found, abra water taxis for trips across the creek to Deira or along the creek to the creekside park, a vast green area with lots of exotic plants and birds, children's play areas and cable car. The hotel offers daily complimentary beach transfers and beach packs available from the hotel health spa. Also opposite the hotel there is a bus stop for the Dubai open top bus tours which cover the old area, the beach areas and the city including all the spectacular buildings and shopping malls.
There are two open top bus tours which are very informative. There is a bus stop opposite the Arabian Courtyard Hotel & Spa. Included in the ticket price is free entry to the Dubai Museum and Fort which is definitely worth a visit. Also included is a cruise along the creek. Information regarding the open top bus tours can be found at the concierge in the hotel reception area.
Fantastic shopping trip
Good location for shopping at Meena Bazar
Overall a good place to stay
Meena Bazar
Would not recommend
Just OK
The hotel has a good location, it is close enough to the historical places in Dubai, including Dubai museum. However since there are many other excellent hotels (though these are a bit more expensive) in Dubai, unless I would like to stay long
around these historical area, I would prefer to stay more luxury hotels, for examples, at near Dubai mall.
Great Hotel
only minor complaint was wi-fi coverage was poor, other than that great hotel, great staff.
Generally very good
Loved the location in Old Dubai near the Creek and Soukhs.
I had to wait to be able to check in as they were full and they did try to give me a twin room (which I refused to accept) - when I got it, I had a lovely room facing the Museum. Hotel
restaurants were reasonable though I did send back a burger at the pool. Generally all were friendly and the shuttle to the beach was a bonus. I will go back there.
Wonderful hotel
Stayed for four nights and have no complaints at all. Staff friendly, room always kept clean, food in the various restaurants attached to the hotel perfect. A major plus is its situation being in the old city so close to the creek, souks with a
Metro station approx. 10 mins. walk for the trips to the malls etc. in the 'new' Dubai.

VAUGHN, N.M. — Petty crime and burglaries aren't unusual in New Mexico's isolated Guadalupe County, but lately Sheriff Michael Lucero has seen thieves steal something a bit unexpected: grass.
Ranchers see increase in grass thefts amid drought
With drought drying out grazing land and driving up hay prices, some ranchers in New Mexico have started cutting neighbors' fences or leaving gates open so their cattle can graze on greener pastures.
Authorities in other drought-stricken states say they've seen fence cuttings, along with thefts of livestock and other materials as ranchers struggle to stay in business. In some cases, stealing a neighbor's grass may be the only way for a rancher to feed his livestock, but victims say their livelihood is being threatened too.
"We've had around five cases in the past few weeks where someone says his cattle just happened to walk through a gate that just happened to be open or an instance where a fence was clearly cut," Lucero said. "And I suspect there are more cases, but they aren't being reported."
Ranchers from Missouri to Texas and west into New Mexico have sold off huge portions of their herds this year because the worst drought in decades dried up their pastures and they couldn't afford to buy food for their animals. While grass thefts might seem relatively harmless, ranchers say they threaten the businesses and animals that are left.
"If they don't have enough grass on the ranch, they have to sell their cattle," said Leon Porter, a rancher in Corona, N.M., who sold half his herd this year to keep going.

It was quick, just felt like somebody was rubbing their feet on the carpet then shocked me. A lot stronger of a shock though.
It happened about 4 times last night before bed. I'm a heavy sleeper, so if it happened during sleep, I don't know. This morning I've had several of them, although weaker than last night.
It's just in these 2 spots at the same time. Otherwise everything is fine.
Is this a common pain/sensation? If so, is it called something? I tried to ask Dr Google, apparently he had never heard of it. :-)

Some of you regular readers out there are probably a little Sylvan Beach-ed out by now, but I just keep having more to say about it! For one, I'm there every chance I get, and for another, many of La Porte's awesome community events take place there. The one I'm featuring in this article is the yearly 4th of July fireworks at the beach, which are truly spectacular because they're fired from the end of the fishing pier and the lights shine twice: once in the sky, once on the water. Even better, for about half an hour before our fireworks started, I could see the Baytown and Seabrook community fireworks displays, which also shone on the water, though a little farther away to the north and south respectively.
Now, once upon a time I could see fireworks displays over the Pacific Ocean any weekend I felt like walking or catching a bus to Waikiki, so you'd think I might lose my fascination for this sort of thing, but that most certainly isn't the case. There really is nothing more enchanting than seeing fireworks over the water with my toes in the soft sand and the waves lapping at my ankles, and the charm increases exponentially with the brevity of the walk it takes to get me there (in this case, it's 7 minutes, so I am still exuding glee 24 hours later). I got a couple decent little videos with my cell, and I thought it would be fun to share them with the wonderful Beach Treasures and Treasure Beaches crowd. Here's the clip with the finale:
Even in low-resolution, it's pretty spiffy, and it's amazing the video turned out so well, considering I paid absolutely no attention to the camera while I was watching that. I'm already looking forward to next year's event! I quite literally extended invitations to the event to my family already, even though none of them know where they're going to be next July. In any case, the event is worth sharing, so I hope they can all make it.
I hope you all had a great Independence Day, and hey, it's summer! If you're in the Northern Hemisphere, go find yourself a beach- E.G.D.

Greetings from Long Island New York!
Summer is upon us and its time for pools, bbq's and the beach!
After the long and cold winter it has been great to be able to get outside – take long walks on the beach and start collecting shells again!
A favorite pass time of mine from childhood and into middle age – collecting shells has been both relaxing and exciting at the same time. It is like a treasure hunt that can bring you into an almost Zen like state during the search!
My long time haunts have been on the beaches of Long Island. As a Pisces I could not imagine growing up anywhere but near the Ocean. Point Lookout and Long Beach were always the places that I have visited and you can find some great shells. Sometimes it is easy and sometimes requires a little work! This fall I found a sand dollar for the first time ever on a Long Island Beach!
I have also had success on Shelter Island. It has been a while since I have been there but we found some great stuff kayaking out to this little island with an abandoned home.
If you like rocks – the north shore of the island is rockier than the south shore. Head out east – visit the beaches, farms stands, and plethora of wineries!
Off Long Island, my favorite hunting spots have been on Eagle Beach in Aruba, Bermuda, St.Barts, Barbados (Maxwell Beach) and Florida! My dream is to make it to Sanibel Island, though I fear I may need to bring an extra bag for all of the shells I imagine I would find there!
To all of the happy shellers out there – keep looking – you are never too old or young to go hunting for shells!
Enjoy the summer!

Today's Featured Guest Writer is Ken Muise, an active-duty soldier stationed on the beautiful island of Oahu.
This is one of my favorite topics to talk about when it comes to going to the beach and, in particular, snorkeling. I will never understand how people can get bored at the beach. You can do so many things and there's a great opportunity for some alone time, too. You can read, tan, nap, build sand castles, dig holes, swim, sit in 6 inches of water and just…sit.
Personally, my favorite past time at the beach is snorkeling. I can't get enough of it. To be honest, I don't feel 100% complete when I'm in water anymore without a mask and snorkel. My kids are some of those people who "get tired of the beach" after about an hour…an hour and a half at tops. I don't understand it. "Take your mask and snorkel and go in the water and look around." I tell them. Depending on the beach we're at, they usually come back with something like, "But there's no coral here. There won't be anything to see."
Nothing to see?! OMG…it's the ocean. Anything you see below the surface is new and exciting.
One of my favorite things to do when I'm at a beach with little coral is to hunt for sea shells. My favorite spot to do this: Makaha Beach, West Oahu.
Now, don't get me wrong. Makaha is known as the turtle cleaning station, but it requires about a 100 yard swim out to the sweet spot. There is plenty to see out there; fish, coral and turtles. I don't always want to do that, though. Instead, right at the shoreline in about 3 to 4 feet of water, is a gentle break where all sorts of rock, coral, and sea shells gather.
Keep in mind, that during the winter months on Oahu, Makaha Beach Park is known for some good surfing and you shouldn't snorkel anywhere where this a large surf. Always take notice of the beach and surf warning signs and gauge the situation against your abilities.
I have found a large piece of my sea shell collection while snorkeling in that gentle break at Makaha Beach Park. Plenty of shiny, cowry shells and even sunrise seashell are the favorite pieces of discovery at Makaha.
Besides that, Makaha Beach Park is one of my favorite "sit down and chill" beaches on Oahu. The space is wide open with hardly enough people to call a group, let alone a "crowd". I always find parking and there are restrooms and showers across the street.
About the Author: Ken Muise is an active-duty soldier stationed on Oahu. He owns and runs a snorkel gear review site as well as a move to Hawaii blog. When Ken isn't working he is usually snorkeling or upset when he can't go snorkeling. Much to the chagrin of those around him, Ken calls himself a "world class snorkeler" and believes he does it better than most.

I've been hearing stories about Sylvan Beach Festival since I started working in Pasadena in January 2014, and when the banners went up around La Porte in the early spring, I was pretty excited! The town sent out pamphlets with information about who would be performing on the stage, the town's tiny monthly newspaper rejoiced, and I made plans to go on Saturday 4/25.
I was therefore, not unnaturally annoyed when I woke up to a violent lightning storm that lasted straight through the scheduled time for the parade. As you can tell from the photo above, though, by 1:00 in the afternoon the weather had changed its mind, and there was barely a cloud in the sky! Granted, the water was more brown than I have ever seen it, and the waves were actually crashing! Seriously. Crashing! In the bay! I have never seen the like at Sylvan Beach, and let me tell you, the 40-or-so kids who were playing in the swells were having the time of their lives.
A few feet away from the beach, the festival was in full swing by the time I arrived, with stalls selling pretty much everything, midway rides, cooking competitions, live country music, and a cook-off.
The music was pretty good, though I'll admit I'm not a big fan of country. The stage was right on the water, so even with the amps booming, everyone in the audience could hear the crashing waves mixed in with the instrumentals ^_^.
I didn't actually do anything at the midway, but I did take a picture:
It reminded me a lot of state and county fairs I've been to. It was fun, and it was worth the $5 admission fee. Normally, the beach is free, but normally the beach doesn't have live music and a midway. I'm definitely going to the festival again next year, and maybe next year I'll get to see the parade ^_^. -E.G.D.

We started the day on the Big Island of Hawaii with a kayak tour of Hilo Bay, crossing the bay and riding the swells. We ended the crossing going up river to a secluded cove with banyan trees and multiple waterfalls that used to serve as power to sugar mills. We returned to the black sand beach along Hilo Bay Beachfront Park before lunch and went back to change and eat on the ship.
Having been to the Big Island before, we decided to simply tour on foot the rest of the day. The Hilo Port/Bay area is dotted with numerous beach parks and small secluded coves for swimming, paddle boarding, picnicking, fishing, and boating.
We finished our day with swimming at Reeds Bay Beach Park, where families were settled in for a day of fun in the sun. There were picnickers, paddle boarders, swimmers, and canoeists all enjoying the clean little coral strewn shoreline. A local told us about the Wailoa River that meets the sea here and produces the cold water pooling in the "Ice Pond.' The cold water combines with very warm water produced by the underwater lava vents. You swim from cold to warm and back to cold with each stroke. Pretty neat!
Have a wonderful day! – Jody & Greg

The weather here on the Texas gulf coast has been absolutely stellar lately, and I am pleased as punch to have a beach easy walking distance from my home. Not unnaturally, one of the best parts about having a beach right next door is sharing that beach with my friends and family. Now, I realize that I have posted about Sylvan Beach before, but yesterday's Sylvan Beach experience is worthy of note because my sister (and noted doctor of geo sciences), Kristie, decided to start a tiny rock collection, and of course the kids, my friend Travis (of guest posting fame) and I joined in with gusto!
Now, between the five of us, we had a really substantial collection going… but because we were collecting tiny, tiny treasures, the pile was small enough to easily fit into the palm of, say, Oona's kindergardener-sized hand. Kristie thought that a collection of tiny rocks would be much easier on the movers when next she moves than, say, the truly substantially-sized rock collections she and her fellow geologist husband have accumulated over the years ("What's in these boxes, anyway, rocks?!??" … "Um… actually…"), and I must agree, though I don't think she and Ryan have any intention of ditching the larger rocks along the way. Anyhow, fun, right? We found some really good treasures. Behold!
They're colorful, they're cute, and they're smooth and shiny from being tumbled in the bay. Also, we really enjoyed collecting them, and I have resolved to find a tiny salt shaker to put them in for display.
The moral of the experience? One beach-goer's large grain of sand is another beach-goer's new tiny rock! Have a great day, preferably at the beach ^_^ -E.G.D.

Take every shade of blue and of green that you have ever seen or even imagined. Swirl them together and you have the astonishing kaleidoscope of brilliant colors that makes up the island of Bora Bora. Now, take those colors along with purples, golds, yellows, and oranges and you now have Bora Bora's phenomenal underwater wonderland. That having been said, words cannot possibly describe Bora Bora. Photos simply don't do it justice.
We had stunning views as we sailed in just as the sun was rising behind the island. Greg and I were the first of the ship's passengers on the first tender to shore where we set about exploring the little village of Vaitape. I do believe we actually experienced the town's morning rush hour. Cars came and went up the narrow main (barely two lane) street. Everyone smiles and greets you in Bora Bora. Their homeland is their pride and joy. Here English is more frequently spoken amongst the locals than on Tahiti. [Editor's Note: Jody and Greg didn't make it to a beach on Tahiti for reasons of time and a language barrier, so I didn't turn their e-love-letter to Tahiti into a post- E.G.D.] We had a full day excursion planned and started out at 9:00 with a sail around the island. First stop: swimming with the sharks and rays at a shallow reef. What an experience! The guides enticed both the sharks and rays to come closer. Some of the black tip sharks were easily five feet in length. They came out of every direction and you never knew when one would appear underneath or passing right next to you. The same was true for the rays (also quite large). Neither seemed to care that we were sharing the water with them. We cared plenty and were exceedingly grateful for their kind hospitality! Next stop: the coral gardens where the water was quite a bit deeper. The brilliantly colorful coral gardens were teeming with life.
Next stop: a private island where we enjoyed a picnic lunch, music, dancing, the most thorough and entertaining coconut demonstration ever, and more time for swimming and snorkeling. Motu Haapiti has the most startling crystal clear water we have ever, ever seen. Just imagine swimming in bottled water. Actually, the entire lagoon around Bora Bora is this clear. It was only more obvious at the shallow beach surrounding Motu Haapiti. [Editor's Note: This set of photos actually includes some beach shots, which is how I justified posting this! -E.G.D.]
During the entire day of sailing around the tiny island we enjoyed Polynesian music and songs from our joyful crew. Bora Bora is the place of dreams. Please don't pinch me!!! Today we will cross back over the equator and arrive once again in the northern hemisphere. Next stop: Hilo, Hawaii- Jody & Greg

We had another fabulous port of call, this time at Rarotonga, the youngest of the Cook Islands. Rarotonga is the picture perfect setting you would imagine finding on a postcard of the South Pacific. Only better! Rarotonga's natural beauty is stunning. The island's rugged, eroded volcanic peaks are covered in dense, green vegetation. And sparkling blue lagoons are surrounded by pearly white sand and tall, swaying palm trees. Picture perfect!
The hot and steamy day (even for the locals) started with a trip to Muri Lagoon, the go-to spot for snorkeling on the island. There we found colorful fish, coral, and black sea cucumbers galore. The water was crystal clear and cool. The currents were pretty tricky, pulling us this way and that. We just decided to head up the white sandy beach and then let the current take us back to the nearby beachside resort. It worked pretty well, but there was a whole lot of kicking involved!
We shuttled back into town in the afternoon, hoping the shops and cafes might be open. They weren't. Rarotonga is a Christian community and Sunday is a day for church, and rest, and family. We walked through the tiny midtown area and turned up a street and into a neighborhood where we found a monument on a triangle of road. It was the stone from which the first Christian sermon was given on the island. It read: "On this stone Papeiha first preached the Christian message in Rarotonga in 1823." Cool find for just walking up a side street! There were many churches tucked away all along the main road. The sign in front of Saint Joseph's Catholic Cathedral showed that the 9:00 AM Sunday mass is said in Maori.
Island life is relaxed, patient, and accepting. Each person we met on Rarotonga was joyful and very friendly. It was a full day of fun and exploration.
Next stop: Tahiti.
We hope all is well with all of you.
Have a wonderful yesterday!- Jody & Greg

Life of Florence Nightingale
MANILA, Philippines - Born on May 12, 1820 in Florence, Italy, to an affluent British family, Florence Nightingale was named after the city of her birth. Inspired by what she took as a call from God in 1837, she announced her decision to enter nursing in 1844 despite her family's objection. She worked hard to educate herself in the art and science of nursing in spite of the restrictive societal code for affluent young English women. She rejected any marriage proposals believing that marriage would only interfere with her calling.
She traveled as far as Rome, Crimea, Greece, and Egypt to do her nursing mission. She wrote reports to Britain about the horrific conditions of the casualties during the Crimean War. On October 21, 1854, she and her trained staff of 38 women volunteer nurses were sent to Ottoman Empire, about 295 miles across the Black Sea from Crimea where the British camp was based. On November 29, 1855, in Crimea, Nightingale was given recognition for her work in the war which led to the establishment of the Nightingale Fund for the training of nurses.
On July 9, 1860, through the Nightingale Fund, she laid the foundations of professional nursing when she founded the Nightingale Training School which is now called the Florence Nightingale School of Nursing and Midwifery and is part of King's College London. The Nightingale Pledge of the new nurses was named in her honor, and the annual International Nurses Day is celebrated around the world on her birth anniversary. …

Worth the drive: Emery's 5&10 president moving variety store to Pigeon Forge
A South Knoxville landmark is moving, and its new neighbors will include Paula Deen and Jimmy Buffet.
Emery's 5&10 will be closing its store at 4104 Chapman Highway and re-opening at The Island in Pigeon Forge, says Ron Emery, president and grandson of founder E.L. Emery. The variety store has been located in the same shopping center in South Knoxville for 57 years.
"It's a great opportunity," Emery says of the move to the new retail and entertainment center. "That's a major tourist destination, and it will be a whole lot more traffic than here."
Emery's grandfather opened his first Emery's 5&10 in downtown Knoxville in 1927. He later opened other Emery's 5&10 stores in Tennessee, Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina and Kentucky before competition from larger retail stores led to the smaller chain closing all but one of its locations. In 1983 Emery took the remaining Emery's 5&10 in South Knoxville and created what he calls "a 21st century variety store."
"It's our variety that's popular," Emery says. "We have so many fun things in here."
Finding items that no one else carries is part of the secret of Emery's 5&10's success, Emery says. Making sure those items are quality is another part of it.
"Our gardening tools come from Holland and are made by a family-owned company that has operated since the 1800s," he notes. "Our dish towels, table runners and tablecloths are from a family business in Italy that has been around since the 1700s."
That doesn't mean, however, that the merchandise is expensive. One of the most fun parts of her job, says longtime employee Vickers Johnson, is hunting reasonably priced, well-made and well-designed items for the store.
"If you tell us a theme and a price point, we are really good to say, 'You can consider this, this and this,'" she says.
Emery describes the 5&10's inventory as "just about everything." It's the kind of store that caters to locals and tourists alike, he adds.
"Last year a couple was in here on a Saturday from Cincinnati, Ohio," Emery remembers. "I asked, 'What brings you to Knoxville?' and they said, 'This store.'"
It wasn't a unique experience for Emery, however. He's had other customers tell him the same thing: that they read about Emery's 5&10 and drove to Knoxville specifically to shop there. This continues to happen even though Emery's 5&10 has offered secure online shopping through its website for several years now.
"That's part of the reasons the developers (of The Island in Pigeon Forge) want us to come up there," Emery explains. "It's going to be a lot of fun with all the restaurants and the observation wheel. And they just opened a new $3 million fountain that does a Las Vegas water and light show every 30 minutes."
Emery does not know yet when the South Knoxville store will close and The Island in Pigeon Forge store will open, but he is hoping the transition will happen sometime this summer. In the meantime, he is liquidating the Chapman Highway inventory, with everything in Emery's 5&10 marked 30 percent off right now.
"We've made a lot of friends here, and we'll miss our wonderful customers," Emery says. "We hope they'll come visit us in our new store. We'll make it worth the drive to come up!"
Emery's 5&10 is open 10 a.m.-6 p.m. Mondays-Fridays and 10 a.m.-5 p.m. Saturdays. For more information, visit http://emery510.com/.

SPC put counters out on the Chateau, Millvale and Strip District Trails earlier this week. We'll leave them out for about a week to collect bike activity counts. I suspect we'll put them out on three other trail segments next week. It's a relatively efficient way to collect bicycle activity data. We use these automated counts to supplement our "manual" (put someone on a street corner) counts. Due to the technology available to us, we can only use the automated counters on trails — not in on-street locations. Glad you noticed them! P.S. If you ride really, really slowly over the tubes, they may not count you. So stare all you want at the tube and the counter, but keep pedaling as you cross over the tube!
