All this time I thought we were,
Now I'm no more than a stranger.
ALl this time I dreamed of love,
But dreams sometimes aren't enough.
Tomorrow has come with the end,
No longer can we of love pretend.
Today the sun shines on you,
My sky, my mood are darkened blue.
All this time we played a game,
A game and only I am to blame.
Yesterday is gone without a trace,
Nothing left, not even your face.

Business is backing Sport Relief in a big way. Staff from thousands of companies big and small will be taking part in charitable sports events this weekend and over the coming months.
Chief executives are trying to lead by example. Sainsbury's chief executive, Justin King, Cisco UK chief executive Phil Smith and more than 30 other bosses will take part in the Sport Relief Mile on the Mall in London this Sunday.
Mr King has already been admirably dynamic. Last week, he ran the mile a remarkable 32 times over four days as he made a tour around different sites in the UK. He was joined on each run by Sainsbury's staff from the local store and more than 1,000 took part.
Mr Smith is also aiming for an epic challenge of a different sort. The Cisco UK boss has managed to persuade more than 30 fellow chief executives to take part in an initiative called the Leaderboard Challenge For Sport Relief. This Sunday's Sport Relief Mile is just a part. There will be a variety of endurance tests, culminating in the Blenheim triathlon on 9 and 10 June.
Among the bosses who have signed up to take part are Adecco's Peter Searle, Oracle's David Callaghan, Monitise Group's Alastair Lukies and, appropriately, Kevin Cahill, the chief executive of Comic Relief. Each hopes to raise about £20,000 – or upwards of £600,000 in total.
Some of them, including Mr Smith, have already swum in the Thames as part of their preparations. The former top runner Roger Black and rugby player Austin Healey are also taking part in the Leaderboard Challenge, to join in the fun and hopefully improve the bosses' sporting prowess.
Many companies have embraced Sport Relief in the past decade because they recognise that it is good for internal morale as well as being popular with customers. As Mr King of Sainsbury's says: "We want to be involved and active in the communities we trade in. Our customers love it because it's a really fun, healthy thing to do, and they support it generously because they know it's for a great cause."
Having a higher purpose beyond mere profit can have a galvanising effect. And, of course, sport appeals to the competitive instinct of people in business.
Mr Smith said he was inspired to launch the Leaderboard Challenge after he did his first triathlon for charity three years ago.
"Something interesting happened," recalls the Cisco boss, who is in charge of 4,000 staff in Britain and Ireland. "I got a lot fitter. But there was a very consequential reaction from within the company. Lots of people started saying, 'If my CEO is so busy and he can can do this, then I can do this too.' Lots of people did. They took up half-marathons and bike rides and a general interest in health and wellbeing."
As Sport Relief came around again this year, and with the Olympics in mind, Mr Smith then decided that if he could prompt his own staff to be more active, maybe he could encourage other bosses at other companies to follow his lead.
"I thought, why don't I get a bunch of other CEOs to do something similar?" Many bosses have responded positively, of course, to the delight of Comic Relief's organisers.
Cilla Snowball, the chairman and chief executive of the advertising agency Abbott Mead Vickers, is a long-time supporter of Comic Relief and is now a trustee on the board. "For me it absolutely defines the modern 'mass participation' event because it is a truly mass celebration of fun and fund-raising, appealing to millions of people of all ages," she says.
Within the agency, whose clients include Sainsbury's and BT, both Sport Relief sponsors, it has made a big difference.
"There is huge personal and professional satisfaction in taking part in something as worthwhile and important as Sport Relief," Ms Snowball says. "We know that we can make a difference and it's important to us individually and collectively."
Cisco's Mr Smith agrees the "mass participation" theme is key internally because it brings staff together. "When people look back at work on the last ten years, yes, they'll look back on the deals they did, but they'll probably remember a Red Nose Day or Sport Relief more. They are things that make life special and reinforce the culture."
We live in an age where businesses have come under greater scrutiny than ever in the wake of the credit crunch. The Occupy Movement may be aimed chiefly at the big banks but there is a more general suspicion of the corporate world.
As Mr Smith says: "Companies are realising they don't live in an ivory tower with no effect on anyone else. They have an effect on communities, and people doing things for the community or society have a responsibility."

Book One in the Edgars Family Romantic Suspense Novels
A Man in Desperate Need
FBI Agent Jake Carlisle is in deep trouble. While undercover he's been shot, but he's not sure if it's the crooks or local cops behind it. Worse, if he can't get help fast, two lives will be lost - his and that of the young witness, a boy whom he's sworn to protect. On the run from both the police and the Russian Mafia, Jake will do anything to save the child at his side, even something illegal. In desperation he kidnaps a nurse from a hospital parking lot.
A Woman at the Edge of Despair
ER nurse Samantha Edgars has been living in an emotional vacuum since the death of her daughter. Abandoned by her husband not long afterward, she struggles just to get through each day, but now all she wants is for the pain to stop and to finally be at peace with her child. Mentally and physically exhausted following a difficult shift, she walks through the hospital's dark parking lot lost in her own thoughts. Suddenly she's jolted from her stupor when she's bound, gagged, and tossed into the back of her car.
Danger on Their Heels
When they arrive at her home, she's terrified and forced to tend to a bleeding FBI agent and his injured witness. But Samantha quickly learns the rogue agent and orphaned boy need more than just her professional skills. With a menace bearing down on them, she must learn to trust Jake - and her heart - if they're all going to survive.
©2011 Suzanne Ferrell (P)2016 Audible, Inc.
"Great read and listen.."
This was a fun and exciting read. Yeah, Sami had some pretty stupid thoughts of attraction to her kidnapper, Jake, but her arguments with herself over them were kinda funny. LOL, especially when she called it Amsterdam Syndrome instead of Stockholm and her inner self corrected her. None of the 1 and 2 star reviews bothered to tell you about that, did they? Oh well, we all know how reviews go.
By page 170 I was still really interested in the story, Sami's brothers Luke and Matt just left Jake, Sami's and Nicky's hideout with their plan all put together so I knew things were about to get exciting. Excited to see what misery was going to come down on Petrov and the rest of the Russian mob. Personally, I wanted them all dead, after how they'd tortured Nicky! Geez, he's just a little boy, 9 if I remember correctly, but Sami had a hard time guessing his age because he was so small and malnourished.
Overall, this was a terrific read, even though a little wordy, with kidnapping, murder, torture, sex and love. You really can't ask for more than that. Yeah, they fell in love quickly but you have to remember that the whole story was only a matter of days, not weeks or months. Jake had to hurry and clear his name and find the real bad guy, the one pulling the strings, so everything was hurried. And even though they were attracted to each other right off the bat they didn't have sex until 40% of the book. It's not like they did it the minute she came to. Geez!
I did think the author kind of went overboard with Sami's grief over Aimee. I mean she had 3 prescriptions for sleeping pills that she thought about taking? Aimee had been dead for 4 years so why was she having stupid thoughts now? A few months, a year, maybe! But not 4 years. She was a nurse, for Pete's sake. Also, the italic conversations with her daughter when she was alive were a little too much. I definitely skimmed those.
AND I have to admit I did skim quite a bit. There was just sooo much crap I just couldn't read. I had to get to the good stuff. As much as I like romance when a story is exciting I want to get to it and leave so much romance and stuff behind. When they're running for their lives I don't want to read about how sexy Jake is or how he wants to make love to her again. Or how Jake makes Sami feel so safe and loved, but does he care at all for her? Will he leave when this case is over? Enough! Just get on with it. That's just filler and I hate filler. This book had 373 pages and that wasn't necessary. The other books in this series have as many or more pages as this one so I can't see myself spending $6 on books I'm going to skim.
There was sexual attraction all through the book and a couple of nicely written bedroom scenes.
There was swearing and the F-bomb was released only 3 times.
As to the narrator: Paul Boehmer was pretty good through the entire book. He laughed, whispered, yelled, whatever the book called for. His voice for Sami was a little deep but not too awfully bad, but it could have been better. He read with a lot of emotion. I would definitely listen to him again.
"Narration Needs Work"
The story was good but it was difficult to get into at the beginning, due to the odd way the narrator spoke. He has a good voice but often spoke so stilted that it was almost mechanical. Eventually you get used to it and can just enjoy the story.
I am an avid reader, and love to share my opinion on what I read... be prepared for an honest review, though.
"A Romantic Thriller With a Touch of Good Luck"
What did I love about the book? Well, I was in tune with the 'thriller' aspect of the book than the romantic side of the book... though I won't deny that the romance made the book more ... sentimental than anything else.
This book is definitely a romance type of book rather than a thriller. Yes, there is a mystery/cops/action and the like... but the romantic scenes pretty much started in the first chapter or two. If you like a romantic thriller -heavy on the romance-, then this is the book for you.
I was looking for more of the 'thriller' aspect of the story line and not the romance side of the story, but I still love the book. It is very well written, it is a fast paced book, and the characters were well developed.
Personally, I do love the child who is a prominent part of the story; he is the one who brings the two prominent adults in the story together. If it had not been for the child, they would have never met, fallen in love, and gotten married.
That is probably my favorite aspect of the story.
See above.
My favorite scene came towards the end of the book, when Samantha and Jake are talking with the district attorney about how to handle the press and getting what Samantha, Jake, and the young boy want they want ... no, not what they *want*, but what they *need*.
Samantha was quick to defend Jake, about how he saved both her and the young boy... and that Jake should not be charged at all for his actions in protecting the child. Jake settled her to some extent before he told his side of the story, and came to an understanding with the district attorney.
Jake would willingly help deal with the press if the district attorney gave Samantha custody to the child, adopt the child, and then let Jake himself marry Samantha. It would mean that the three of them would become a bog, happy family.
Yes. While I didn't particularly want as much romance as what there was, the romance theme provided a different outlook for the characters than what could have been...
Just a quick note... this story does mention the death of a child (Samantha's daughter, and she died of cancer), depression, and suicidal intentions (that never came to fruition).
"WTF? Narration is computerized!"
I didn't get through the first 10 minutes because the narration is in a computerized voice. it sounds awful. I'm returning this ASAP!
"Thoroughly enjoyed"
Good story, really good characters. Samantha is very, very cool. Jake, the smokin good guy has to work hard to get her to see things his way.
"Mind numbing"
This story is corny at best. unfortunately the story had potential that went unfulfilled. Wouldn't recommend it.
Say something about yourself!
"New Author for me!"
Enjoyed this story and look forward to more of the Edgars. Hope Jake continues with the brothers, cop family.
"Something Wrong"
This book keeps vanishing from my downloads list. I start the download again and a while later it shows as qeueuing again. Apart from that, the narrator sounds computer like. I wouldnt recommend this book.

Classic, romantic, timeless wedding photography to preserve the memories of your special day. From "he asked" to "I do!"
What was your favorite wedding photo?
She caught this beautiful shot of my bride in the candlelight. It made me fall in love with her all over again.
How did the wedding photographer avoid disrupting the day? Great with candids? Action shots? Portraits?
We really loved her candid shots, she got some great moments! At the same time, the posed portraits -- especially of my beautiful bride -- had a great artistic feel. We got the best of both worlds from her.
How did the photographer make you and family comfortable?
She's an upbeat, naturally friendly person and managed to get people to laugh easily. We thought she was fun, and she made everyone feel like she was their friend.

Ban all Equipment
by BendtheBar 10-20-2013, 04:02 PM
by Marty Gallagher (PLUSA, August, 1996.)
Fifteen years ago my old coach (and world champion) Hugh Cassidy wrote an article entitled "Ban the Squat." In it, the iconoclastic Cassidy postulated that loose judging and (then) newly invented powerlifting equipment had distorted the squat into something other than the benchmark test of strength it had always been.
Hugh Cassidy
Wraps, belts and suits had made a mockery of the "King of Lifts" and, he gravely warned, once the Pandora's box of equipment-aided strength was opened, where would it end? "Chain mail suits? Spring devices placed behind knees?" At the time, we laughed it off. "That Hugh . . ." we chuckled, "what a prehistoric attitude; take a chill pill, coach. It's the 80's fer Chrissake. Powerlifters discover the super-suit and you act like it's some sort of apocalyptic armageddon - Relax! The sky ain't falling!"
In 1996 the sky fell on powerlifting. In 1996, Cassidy's worst fears were confirmed. The wide-spread use of hi-tech equipment has confused the issue of who really is the strongest and lax judging has made it impossible to compare one federation's lifts to another's. We are experiencing the powerlifting equivalent of the biblical Tower of Babel.
On a personal level, it all came crashing home to me like a head-on collision, when, in quick succession, I witnessed a 700-plus pound bench press and several 1000-plus squats. The bench was done in a bench shirt so tight and layered that the athlete literally could not get the weight down to his chest to receive the "press" signal. Can you imagine? The technology of the shirt was so restrictive that the lifter was actually unable to lower over 1/3 of a ton to his chest. What an incredible advantage this technology offers. To add insult to injury, in this particular instance, though (rightfully) no signal was given by the head judge, the lifter nevertheless pushed the weight to arms' length. Incredibly, the lift was passed and the crowd went crazy with glee.
Another tale -
An honorable and sincere man recently told me how low and legitimate a recent 1000-pound squat had been. My friend was inadvertently making a profound commentary on the lifting times . . . that a big-time lift was legal was news! This is one helluva long way from the prehistoric days of yore when a bad lift that was passed was bad news. Nowadays if a record lift is "good", that is news. I had some personal knowledge of this lift and pondered the insider information like a Wall Street bond trader with a hot tip. Should I tell him? In the end, I didn't have the heart to tell him that in addition to groove briefs, a second half-suit, a double-ply reinforced squat suit and power-belt, the lifter used extra-length, specially made wraps. Totally illegal. The federation this fellow lifted in had equipment rules on the books, but had long ago dispensed with equipment checks prior to lifting or upon completion of a national or world record. Rules without enforcement are an invitation to anarchy.
Recent bench shirt innovations have lifters being corseted into shirts like Victorian women in search of 19-inch waists. Double ply shirts, quite literally twice as effective as single ply "normal" shirts, are available to average lifters. Triple and quadruple versions are being quietly made for the elite. The manufacturers of power-garb are engaging in a hi-tech powerlifting version of the nuclear arms race. In 1996 the equipment has overtaken the lifter in powerlifting - to the point that finance, garb and connections are as important to powerlifting success as raw human strength. Bizarro wold has invaded powerlifting. Hugh Cassidy's grave prognostications are now reality; unleashed upon the sport like the seven biblical plagues of eons passed.
Loose judging is the dirty little secret of the sport. We have mile-high squats being passed with brazen impunity. Benches that don't touch and aren't locked-out garner white lights. Lifts that would have been laughed off the platform ten years ago are now being held up as all-time strength feats. It mocks the strength gods and will surely bring the sport to its knees.
In 1986, in Maui, Hawaii, I helped Doug Furnas ready for his lifting in the inaugural APF world championships. The meet was being held in a community center and the warmup area was on a concrete back porch. The sun was hot and the tropical breezes blew as we watched world class surfers negotiate 5-footers in Kaanapali Bay. It was perfect. To make things even more perfect, I was about to witness Doug Furnas achieve his greatest powerlifting total. Not that he needed much help. Doug stood 5'10" and weighed 275 pounds. He had a clean-cut abdominal six-pack with veins all over his delt-pec tie-ins and up and down his massive 32" thighs. Doug sat in a lawn chair dressed in a stretchy bathing suit. He was getting a suntan as he warmed up. He yawned a lot, said basically nothing and sipped a Gatorade. His friend Ric, his brother, and I collectively loaded weights, coached, gophered and warmed up Doug, Ed Coan and the great Mark Chaillet - as good a group as this man as ever worked with.
Every 10 minutes or so Furnas would ask us to load his warmup weights. 255, 455, 655 were all dispatched in rock-bottom, ass on heels, no-big-deal style. Furnas would squat and tan, squat and tan - seemingly more attracted to the crystal breakers and the gulls cavorting on the pristine beach then winning the world title. More into the surfing than the squatting.
He asked me to load the bar to 855. That was easy. Four 100-lb. plates on each side of a 45-lb. bar with collars equates to 855. I went into his gym bag to get his suit and wraps. As I was digging around, I glanced up to the warmup platform. Doug was positioning himself under the bar. He wore a bathing suit and no wraps, a pair of wrestling shoes with untied laces, and no spotters. He did wear a powerbelt, his sole concession to the ponderous poundage. Doug unracked the weight, stepped out, set up like he was walking t through a mine field and then squatted the son-of-a-bitch three inches below parallel, firing back up to fully erect in a milli-second. He re-racked the weight and looked at me holding his suit and wraps. "I hate wearing that shit!" Later that afternoon, wearing that shit: a suit, wraps and a belt, Doug squatted 986 like it was helium filled; literally smiling on his way up. "Let me put in for 1035 on a fourth," I pleaded. Doug would not hear of it. He wanted a total. He got his total when he benched 600 and deadlifted 826, for 2400. Later, he did a standing back-flip on the bench. Lord almight, what an athlete that man was!
In the not too distant past, I saw a man take over 1000 pounds out of a cradle. This cradle dropped the bar directly on the lifter's back, thereby allowing the athlete to avoid the walkout portion of the squat, a critical portion of the lift since time immemorial. Great men have had to walk weight out. Some have had a helluva time with their walkouts. All-time greats like Hatfield, McCain and Furnas have had terrible battles setting a weight up. The walkout portion has been an integral part of the squat since the inception of powerlifting. To eliminate the walkout is sacrilege. It makes the lift easier. Squats should not be made easier. If you make some squats easier than others, it eliminates our ability to compare one to another. The lifter who had taken the 1000-lb. weight out of the cradle stood cocked at a 45-degree angle, unable to stand erect with the ponderous weight. In prehistoric times, this lifter would never have been given the squat signal. Apparently, the modern head judge is now reduced to figurehead and cheerleader. The 1000-lb. head judge timed a perfunctory signal to coincide with the exact release of the cradle. No pause or insistence that the lifter demonstrate control before being allowed to continue - control, apparently, was just another quaint or antiquated notion. Another intrinsic ingredient of the squat discarded like trash, like yesterday's newspapers.
The lifter dropped and stopped to a point three full inches above parallel. He paused and began to ascend. When he reached the previous start position - bent over, unable to achieve uprightness - the referee quickly called "rack it" and the six spotters grabbed lifter and weight before calamity ensued. Three white lights. What equipment did he wear to accomplish this magnificent feat? The lifter wore a set of custom made groove briefs, then a "half-suit" (suit without straps) was placed over the briefs. Over top came the double ply squat suit. The material was over 1/4" thick with double stitched seams and patches at key locations. He wore a huge powerlifting belt and had extra-length wraps. Without equipment, this man would be hard-pressed to walkout and legally squat 700 pounds. With it, he had just exceeded Doug Furnas' world record.
Powergear and loose judging threaten powerlifting's existence and should be eliminated. ) ) No suits, no shirts, no groove briefs, ho half suits, no wraps. Maybe a belt. Maybe not. Judges need to be strict. Standards revisited and reestablished. A Jihad is a religious holy war. In powerlifting we need a Jihad, a holy war against equipment and slack refereeing, lest it devour us, corrupt us and turn us one against each other as we either impugn of defend the integrity of lifts. This Jihad would require us, as athletes, to face each other fairly, evenly and on a level playing field - as it once was. If we get the equipment out of powerlifting and the strictness back into the judging, we will return the sport to a fundamental purity that is has lost. This commitment is philosophical in nature and will require great ego sacrifice on the part of the lifts. In terms of sheer poundage, we won't be as strong. Make no mistake about it, to go equipment-free is to handle far less poundage. Strength is a greedy mistress, as scribe Bill Starr once observed; and part of the greed relates to a mindset that decrees that being able to squat 500 pounds (with equipment) is far better than "only" being able to negotiate 400 (without). Equipment manufacturers pander to and exploit this mass psychosis, this psychological delusion, this faulty logic that allows our egos to proclaim that heavier is necessarily better, even if heavier is artificial. It is not.
Lifters intuitively know that something is amiss in the sport. It can be corrected, but will require a grassroots groundswell on the part of the nameless, faceless, rank-and-file that make up the bulk of every organization. There is a collective outrage bubbling just below the surface, a revulsion at the direction the sport has taken. Sophisticated power-gear and incompetent judging emasculates the sport and makes powerlifting a laughing stock in the greater athletic community. Time for a revolution by the masses. The voting members of a federation ultimately control that federation. The membership of each of the respective organizations can simply vote the equipment out of their federations and legislate tight judging back in. Simple as that. Gather the concerned, coordinate the politics, get a motion on the floor and legislate the equipment out of the sport. Seize control of your federation of choice. Contact your friends and allies. You will be amazed at the consensus. Toss this crap. Crank it back and tighten it up. Restore some integrity and commonalities; or before you know it an athlete will need $1,000 in equipment to compete and be competitive. Are we truly interested in determining who amongst us is the strongest? Do we really want economics to partially determine who is the strongest? Is the strongest to be determined by who can afford a $225 shirt or has the connections to get illegal-length wraps?
Beware those who use the "equipment is protection" argument. This old faulty line has been with us since Christ was a carpenter and is as false and retarded now as it was way back when it was first offered up. Equipment is not meant to mask pain or reduce the chance of injury. The use of equipment increases the chance of injury because of the increased poundage it allows the lifter to lift. It is illogical to say that wraps allow you to squat 400 safely. If your body cannot handle a poundage safely, you have no business lifting that poundage. Period. If through the use of equipment you can suddenly handle this heretofore unsafe poundage, then friend, you are in serious jeopardy. If equipment strictly prevented injury and did nothing to increase the gross poundage handled, you would see equipment disappear from the sport overnight.
Let us be honest. We like equipment because it allows us to handle more and more poundage. There is (apparently) far more ego satisfaction to be derived from handling 600 with equipment than 500 without. We need to turn our back on such reasoning. My old coach concluded his exhortations in "Ban the Squat" with a simple premise; either eliminate the equipment from the squat or eliminate the squat from the sport. Of course, the bench shirt had not been invented when Hugh penned the piece. Had it been, I'm sure he would have included this diabolical invention in his vitriolic opine. In 1996 the choice seems to be all the more imperative. Either ban the equipment from the sport and tighten up the judging or watch as the sport perishes.

Gear enables lifters to compete longer in my opinion. It enables you to overload to a point that you would never reach raw. Its not like a 225lb max bencher is going to done a shirt and put up 700lbs. You still need to lift big to have big geared lifts.

From a gear whore, I think he actually makes good points at times.
I do completely disagree with the whole injury prevention aspect. After a pec tear, equipped benching is all I can really do. I know Ryano hasn't torn a pec, but from our talks he feels like it has prolonged his ability to lift.
I am actually in favor of the walk out in everything except multiply gear. It is too thick to walk out with. I normally walk out all my raw work.
A lot of this falls back to what I posted previously and that if you cant hit good #s raw you probably should never touch gear.

Condition Water Problem
1 of my platys is pregnant im sure of it the stomachs kind of large.
Its just been 1 male 1 female. i want to move her asap.
About 10 minutes ago i set up a very little tank just fits about 1 fish, i want her to breed the fry so they can be safe away from the others.
Theres no filter so how long do i have to wait for the conditioned water to be just right?
Better to leave the platy where she is and add some real or artificial floating plants for the fry to hide in. The tank you wish to move her to would need to be cycled ; just like the one she is in. You will no doubt have more babies which gives you plenty of time to add the floating plants or real plants mentioned.
Pregnant fish that are moved sometimes abort their young fish due to the stress of being moved.

The length of time for the expiration date or "best used before" date depends on the type of product, as well as the brand.
Perishable items (such as flax oils or certain probiotics) generally have shorter expiration dates. Although our warehouse is fully air-conditioned, these more fragile items are put in cold storage (freezer or refrigeration unit) for maximum freshness.
Our receiving department does its best to verify and then enter the correct expiration dates for all incoming products. However, discrepancies do occur from time to time. This being said, the exceptionally high turnover at iHerb ensures that our inventory is among the freshest in the industry.

Finally!! A vanilla stevia with a beautiful and genuine vanilla flavor. Great concentration unlike most of the watered down stevia reformulations most companies seem to have moved towards. Will buy again and again.
No after taste

My husband and I have really liked this sweetener. We're trying not to use coffee mate anymore but go a mm ore natural and less caloric route. We've used about 5 drops in a cup of coffee every day this week and I've used it in pancake batter. There no after taste and it sweetens well.
Love it
Posted by 5250621204581688186 on Jun 22, 2016
Taste nice :)
Posted by 4815234150950749484 on Dec 31, 2015
In love with this. I tried stevia powder before this and it just tasted too "earthy" or something. I love vanilla so I think this is delicious and a little of it goes a long way.
Posted by Reviewer1878151 on Aug 22, 2015
I use this when I make homemade almond or sunflower seed milk.
Posted by TriedandTested on Mar 06, 2015
It's funny this is "Alcohol-Free", because it tastes VERY strongly of alcohol, regardless of what you add it to. The vanilla smell is pretty wonderful, though.

Recent reviews
Excellent 4.5 /5 from 32 reviews
The room was small for being handicap accessible with not being able to turn the wheel chair around. In order to be able to move around with the walker we had to back the wheel chair into the room. The floor in the bathroom is very slippery when wet, which is surprising being handicap accessible. The breakfasts were fantastic.
attended American legion conv. This was my 2nd stay at this place. I enjoyed it both times. I liked the tea that was available besides the coffee.
We've stayed here a few times over the years and mainly because it has the water park for the kids. Pros: Affordable for what you get, staff is very friendly, rooms are spacious and comfy, the free breakfast is pretty good with enough items to keep everyone happy, it's in a good location for the town. Quiet but close to lots of store and restaurants. Cons: we were disappointed the water park/pool wasn't open at all during weekdays until school let out in June! We were there a Sun-Tues and felt pretty ripped off. Our room wasn't super clean. Not horrible but I found a toenail clipping and a glass ring on the counter. Had housekeeping come on our 2nd day and she clearly didn't vacuum because the cracker crumbs the kids left on floor were still there. Nothing was so bad we wouldn't stay again. It's Brainerd, MN. We don't expect the Taj Mahal.
We stayed 1 night with our 2 and 5 year old. The room, a king suite, was very spacious for us. The kids loved the pool, and had a blast. Front desk staff was amazing! The only thing to say about this stay, is that you can tell the pool structures, kiddie slides, are used a lot. Like any piece of equipment, they are beginning to show their age. Thank you for a great weekend!
It was a great place to stay with many great attractions nearby

Already one of the top NCAA Division II programs in the country, UC San Diego Athletics is moving rapidly into a new era of advancement and expansion. Yet, the continued success of the program is dependent on your support.
For the first time in UC San Diego history, the campus is able to fundraise for athletic scholarships and offer prospective high-merit student-athletes scholarships that will help make it possible for them to attend UC San Diego. Join us as part of this groundbreaking opportunity that will help attract the best and brightest—and take UC San Diego Athletics to the next level.
The National Collegiate Scouting Association's Collegiate Power Rankings has repeatedly placed UC San Diego first in Division II. Your support of the Triton Athletic Fund will help meet the greatest needs of the program. You can also designate your gift to champion any of our 23 men's and women's teams.
UC San Diego recently opened the new Alex G. Spanos Athletic Performance Center, thanks to the support of alumni and friends, including a $500,000 gift from San Diego Chargers Chairman of the Board Dean Spanos, and his family. Still, fundraising for the new center is not complete. Naming opportunities are available.
UC San Diego boasts one of the country's top NCAA Division II baseball programs. Thanks to generous donations, the new state-of-the-art Triton Ballpark has enhanced the fan and player experience. But we still need your help to finish the project. Join us in continuing to support Triton Ballpark and our student-athletes' talents.

The gift, from local businessman and philanthropist Doug Barnhart and his wife Nancy, will be split to create an endowment and provide current use funding.
UC San Diego Athletics has partnered with local broadband services and technology company ViaSat to create UCSDtritons.TV, an online streaming platform that will broadcast UC San Diego athletic events.

A fundamental mechanism by which opioid receptors are regulated is by rapid endocytosis after agonistinduced activation. Receptors traverse divergent intracellular membrane pathways after their initial endocytosis, and receptor "sorting" between distinct downstream pathways plays a critical role in determining the functional consequences of endocytosis. The proposed studies seek to elucidate mechanisms that determine whether endocytosed opioid receptors recycle rapidly to the cell surface (a well characterized pathway promoting functional recovery or "resensitization" of signal transduction), or if they traffic to lysosomes (a well established pathway of proteolytic "down-regulation" that leads to a prolonged attenuation of signal transduction).
The Specific Aims of the proposed studies are to: (1) Define the biochemical properties of a mechanism that mediates signal-dependent recycling of opioid receptors;(2) Elucidate a distinct mechanism that promotes sorting of endocytosed opioid receptors to lysosomes;(3) Determine whether opioid receptors are sorted between distinct membrane domains of multivesicular endosomes;and (4) Investigate the functional relevance of specific post-endocytic sorting mechanisms to opioid receptor regulation in neurons. These studies have general relevance to understanding mechanisms by which G protein-coupled receptors are regulated and specific relevance to mechanisms underlying physiological adaptation of the nervous system in response to clinically important opiate drugs.
