Above, Evan Rivers (BMC ' 14) and Robin Chernow (HC '15) perform strontium extraction columns to analyze strontium isotopes by MC-ICP-MS in basalts from the Northern Kolbeinsey Ridge and Southern Mohns Ridge.
Aliza Taft (BMC '14) Restores Roman Pottery in Macedonia
Geology-Archeology double major Aliza Taft (BMC '14, shown above with a pot she successfully restored) spent part of her summer at a workshop on Conservation, Restoration and Documentation of Roman Pottery, one of several field schools offered by the Balkan Heritage Foundation. The school took place in Macedonia at the archaeological site of Stobi, a city that existed from pre-Roman times up through the sixth century CE. During the pottery project, Aliza learned the process of conserving, restoring and documenting Late Roman Pottery (3rd-4th cent. CE) on actual vessels found in the necropolis at Stobi. Before starting on the "real" vessel, she had two "practice pots," on which she learned how to assemble the pot from shards, glue it together, and then fill gaps with plaster.
Geology Professor Arlo Weil named GSA Fellow
Dr. Arlo Weil, Geology Department Chair and Full Professor, has been named a Fellow of the Geological Society of America (GSA), a prestigious award given to those considered to be the best of our profession. Congratulations, Arlo!
Arctic Ocean Exploration with Bryn Mawr Students & Faculty
In June and July 2012, Lecturer Lynne Elkins led a student team in conducting geochemical and field research into volcanic activity in the Arctic Ocean. Students Evan Rivers and Kelsey Meisenhelder accompanied Elkins aboard the RV Poseidon for 25 days along the northern Kolbeinsey Ridge and Eggvin Bank spreading region, west of Jan Mayen Island. Together with seven other scientists and the ship's crew, and using shipboard and autonomous vehicle sonar equipment, they extensively mapped and conducted targeted sampling of this poorly understood volcanic region. Back in the Geochemistry Suite at Bryn Mawr, student Rachel Davis worked with Rivers, Meisenhelder, and Elkins to process volcanic samples from other Arctic locations and begin method development for volcanic trace element analysis using the Department's ICP-MS instrument.
Professor Weil & Students Conduct Geologic Mapping in the Rocky Mountains
This past summer, newly minted Full-Professor Arlo Weil, along with his colleague Adolph Yonkee from Weber State University in Utah, took two students (Fern Beetle-Moorcroft and Andriy Mshanetskyy) deep into the Rocky Mountain foreland to study the kinematics and mechanics of Laramide deformation. This was the final summer of a three year National Science Foundation project investigating the link between plate-scale dynamics and foreland deformation in the North American Cordillera. We collected nearly 100 sites worth of data, and only had one rattle snake bite to show for it.
Microgravity Team Flies in NASA's Zero-G Plane
In July, new Assistant Professor Selby Cull took six Bryn Mawr Geology students (Christina Lee, Alice Clark, Mary Schultz, Hannah Gatz-Miller, Simona Clausnitzer, and Danyelle Phillips) to Houston to fly in NASA's parabolic airplane that simulates zero gravity, testing the properties of Martian soil. Follow their story on their blog!

Bryn Mawr Paleontologists Explore Western Utah
Bryn Mawr Research Associate Katherine Marenco conducted field work in western Utah this summer, for an ongoing project exploring the relationship between seafloor conditions and the evolution of marine communities during the Ordovician radiation. Also participating in the Utah expedition were Assistant Professor Pedro Marenco and Geology majors Alliya Akhtar and Danyelle Phillips, who focused their efforts on measuring and sampling Ordovician and Triassic stratigraphic sections for geochemical analysis. The group encountered plenty of wildlife - including four rattlesnakes - but came away unscathed.
Professor Barber and Students Investigate Sea Level Rise in North Carolina
This summer, Associate Professor Don Barber led a student team to investigate sea level changes
in coastal North Carolina. Geology students Anna Lee Woodson and Storrs
Kegel led a team of researchers back to Woodson's
senior thesis site in search of a longer Holocene sea level record. The team obtained the deepest Holocene marsh
peats ever found in southern Pamlico Sound. After the work in southern
Pamlico Sound, Kegel and Woodson joined the international group for
additional fieldwork in northern Pamlico Sound, near Nags Head on the
Outer Banks. A second field campaign by Barber and Kegel recovered cores
from a new southern NC site. Geology students will begin analyses of
the new core materials in the new geochemistry lab suite this fall.

Geology Students Win NASA Grant for Microgravity Research
The Bryn Mawr Microgravity Research Team - a group of seven Geology Majors - has been selected by NASA to fly on the "Vomit Comet", an astronaut training aircraft that simulates zero gravity. The team wrote the NASA grant themselves, mentored by Geology Assistant Professor Selby Cull, and will be simulating the effect of Mars gravity on Martian soil porosity. Read their blog here!
Bryn Mawr Geology Team to Leave for Arctic Research Expedition
Two Bryn Mawr students will join Geology Lecturer Lynne Elkins on a trip to the waters north of Iceland next summer as Elkins and her fellow researchers try to better understand volcanic activity in the area. The researchers plan to explore the mechanisms driving the production of new ocean crust occurring at volcanic mid-ocean ridges like the Mid-Atlantic Ridge in the Arctic Ocean, and also to help explain anomalous volcanic activity occurring in the region.
The trip is funded by a National Science Foundation grant that Elkins and colleagues from the University of Wyoming received this summer to explore volcanic activity in a segment of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge known as the Eggvin Bank. Read more...

Still, she wanted to meet Russell and keep the door open for future projects—and Leo quickly overcame her misgivings.
I left to head downtown, to Russell Simmons's party and then to the Huffington Post ball.
Russell said of the 2012 Benghazi embassy attack that killed U.S. Ambassador Stevens.
The year before, Russell blasted Barack Obama for saying that troops should be withdrawn from Iraq.
On a recent Wednesday night, Heidi Klum, Edward Norton, and Russell Simmons were all in the house.
It seemed ages before the merry little infirmier came back with Russell's clothes.
He wanted to know whether he was in the right road to the Russell Taylors.
This time Russell thought that every one might be on the look-out for himself, and so went on with his work.
And then, Russell was a big, handsome man; and she liked big, handsome men.
Russell, a Dublin man, was the first newspaper representative to accompany an army into the field.
masc. proper name, from Old French rous-el, diminutive of rous "red," used as a personal name. See russet.
American astronomer who studied binary stars and developed methods to calculate their mass and distances. Working independently of Ejnar Hertzsprung, Russell also demonstrated the relationship between types of stars and their absolute magnitude. This correlation is now known as the Hertzsprung-Russell diagram.

OKLAHOMA CITY - Tennessee senior shortstop Madison Shipman and freshman catcher Annie Aldrete were named 2014 NFCA Division I All-Americans, as announced by the NFCA on Wednesday.
Shipman was named a first-team NFCA Division I All-American and Aldrete earned second-team honors. In all 54 players from 32 different institutions were selected to one of three 2014 NFCA Division I All-American teams, the Association announced on Wednesday.
This year a change was made in the NFCA's Division I awards process as three all-region teams, instead of the traditional two, were selected in each of 10 different regions. That provided more opportunities for student-athletes to receive honors as well as have a chance to earn potential All-American status from the Association.
The five conferences that are participating at this year's Women's College World Series were well represented as an impressive 39 of the 54 total selections, including 16 of the 18 student-athletes on the first team, were garnered by either the Southeastern Conference (14), the Pac-12 Conference (13), the Atlantic Coast Conference (five), the Big 12 Conference (four) or the Sun Belt Conference (three).
Shipman is a three-time All-American, having earned first-team honors in 2013 and 2014 and second-team-honors in 2012. She is just the sixth Lady Vol to become a three-time All-American, joining Monica Abbott (2004, 2005, 2006, 2007), Raven Chavanne (2010, 2011, 2012, 2013), Tonya Callahan (2006, 2007, 2008), Lindsay Schutzler (2005, 2006, 2007) and Lauren Gibson (2011, 2012, 2013). Shipman enjoyed her best season as a senior in 2014 and was one of the main driving forces behind UT's run to the Super Regionals. She is a finalist for the Senior CLASS award, a Capital One Academic All-America® First Team selection, a Top Ten Finalist for the USA Softball Collegiate Player of the year, the 2014 SEC Player of the Year, a First Team All-SEC selection and a SEC All-Defensive Team pick.
Shipman finished the season with a team-high .417 batting average, 18 homers, 16 doubles, 54 RBIs, 56 runs, 46 walks and 13 stolen bases. She also led the team with a .833 slugging percentage and a .548 on-base percentage. Shipman tied Tennessee's single-season record with a 20-game hitting streak from Feb. 9 to March 9 and set a new school single-game record with nine defensive assists against South Carolina on March 23.
Shipman shined throughout the grind of the 2014 SEC season and became the fourth Tennessee player to earn SEC Player of the Year honors, joining India Chiles (2007), Tonya Callahan (2008) and Lauren Gibson (2013). She was a two-time SEC Player of the Week (March 24, April 14) and led the league with a .591 on-base percentage and ranked second in the with a .449 batting average, an .899 slugging percentage and 26 runs in league play. She also ranked third with seven doubles, fourth with 25 RBIs and tied for fifth with nine homers in SEC play.
In 29 games against teams that made the 2014 NCAA Tournament, Shipman hit a team-best .416 (32-for-77) with 12 homers, four doubles, 30 RBIs, 30 runs, 29 walks, five stolen bases, a .935 slugging percentage and a .579 on-base percentage.
Shipman completed her Tennessee career as one of UT's best all-around players and one of its greatest power hitters. She finished her career ranked in Tennessee's top five in home runs (44, third), doubles (55, third), total bases (444, third), RBIs (207, fourth), walks (105, fourth) and slugging percentage (.611, fifth). Shipman posted a .348 career batting average and finished in the Lady Vols' top 10 in at-bats (737, ninth), runs (177, 10th), hits (253, 10th) and stolen bases (58, ninth). Her fielding was superb and she was widely regarded as the best defensive shortstop in the nation. Shipman's 397 career assists ranked second in Tennessee history and her 29 career double plays turned rank third.
Aldrete becomes the 13th All-American in Tennessee softball history, joining legends Abbott, Callahan, Chavanne, India Chiles, Kat Dotson, Kristi Durant, Sarah Fekete, Gibson, Tiffany Huff, Ellen Renfroe, Schutzler and Shipman. She is Tennessee's first freshman to earn All-America honors since Ellen Renfroe was named a third-team Louisville Slugger/NFCA Division I All-American in 2011. She becomes the fifth Lady Vol to be named an All-American as a freshman, joining Abbott (2004), Chavanne (2010), Dotson (2010) and Renfroe (2011). On Tuesday, Aldrete was named the co-winner of the inaugural NFCA Division I National Freshman of the Year trophy. She enjoyed one of the finest seasons in UT history, earning NFCA All-Southeast Region First Team honors and First Team All-SEC honors. She was also an SEC All-Freshman selection and was twice named SEC Freshman of the Week (March 17 and March 31) and played an integral role on Tennessee's run to the NCAA Super Regionals.
Aldrete finished the season with a .361 batting average, 19 homers, 14 doubles, 65 RBIs, 37 runs, 29 walks, an .813 slugging percentage and a .470 on-base percentage. Aldrete's team-high 19 homers (12 in SEC play) tied Tennessee's single-season record, previously set by Lauren Gibson in 2013, and her 65 RBIs also led the team. Her 65 RBIs, 19 homers and .813 slugging percentage are Tennessee freshman records. The rookie catcher also threw out seven baserunners.
Aldrete was a beast in SEC play, hitting .342 with league highs of 12 homers and 65 total bases. She also ranked second in the conference with 30 RBIs, third with a .890 slugging percentage and eighth (tied) with 20 runs scored. In 15 games against ranked teams, Aldrete hit .333 (15-for-45) with six homers, four doubles, 17 RBIs, 10 runs, an .822 slugging percentage and a .455 on-base percentage. In 29 games against teams who made the 2014 NCAA Tournament, Aldrete hit .318 (28-for-88) with 11 homers, five doubles, 32 RBIs, 19 runs, a .444 on-base percentage and a .750 slugging percentage.

Ratings for Dr. Catherine Theo
I feel so lucky to have found Dr. Theo. She's incredibly knowledgeable, impossibly kind, and exudes a happiness that is absolutely contagious. Unlike other doctors that may be going through the motions, I feel Dr. Theo really listens to me, and consults with me regarding different treatment options/meds that may work for me. I look forward to our appointments because I always leave her office feeling better than when I arrived. It also doesn't hurt that's she's easy to look at.
I'm really happy I found Dr. Theo. She is warm, empathetic, and professional. I have seen a few psychiatrists over the past 20 years, and trust me, they are not all as warm and understanding as Dr. Theo! I feel like she really cares about me and works to understand my personal perspective. She has prescribed medication for me and has seemed very knowledgeable.
Like another poster stated, Dr. Theo is empathetic AND professional...she's also very kind and intuitive...she mainly manages my meds, but she's very finely tuned into giving me feedback about whatever issues I've got going on in my life...I hope she never moves or retires, since i don't plan to ever replace her...she's a true gem and a truly lovely lady!
Extremely helpful. Dr Theo is both professional but empathetic. A very knowledgable Doctor.
Since day one, I have been very comfortable seeing Dr. Theo. She is always very welcoming and cheerful when I arrive. She tends to run a bit late with her appointments, but all is forgiven for I have recieve exceptional support from her. It has been a very tough year for me; and when I have needed to call her during times when I had no appointment; she always got back to me fairly quickly, she manages necessary paperwork promptly, and follows up with telephone calls. I feel very comfortable talking with her; she considers my point-of-view during our discussions and I feel that some decisions are done more collboratively, ratger than being strictly one sided. I feel blessed to have found her and with a last name of "Theo", feel that it was through Divine intervention that I was led to her during my initial crisis. I am very happy with her; she easy to talk to. And has a geniune concern for my welfare.

floating dolphinsHere are the numbers as best we can tell. There were about 140 dolphins pushed into the cove by the molesters on November 4. On November 5, 36 were confined in pens in Taiji harbor and a juvenile was sent to the Taiji Whale Museum. On November 6, another 14 were confined in the pens, 2 were put on trucks and taken to the Whale Museum, and another 3 juveniles were taken to the Whale Musuem. Also on this day, 24 to 30 were slaughtered and the remaining were driven back out to sea. Recap: Approximately 140 taken prisoner; 56 consigned to slavery, 24 to 30 slaughtered, and about 54 released. This means that fewer than 40% of this thriving complex family unit survived their encounter with the Taiji dolphin molesters.
The molesters had to add make shift pens in order to contain their haul. There are 50 additional valuable dolphins awaiting transfer in those pens. They must be singing and dancing about how wealthy they are now!
There are several photos and videos of the slayers at work. You can see for yourself how their claims of reverence are completely without merit. These men and women have no care for the creatures or their lives. Dolphins are mere commodities to them. Perhaps it would be better to say that their greed combined with mercury poisoning guide their souls.
alt=""WARNING: GRAPHIC FOOTAGE
The dolphin molesters have found their trade to be quite profitable. It is time though for them to realize that to continue in this insanity is akin to kissing one's sister. There is no future in it.
Stone walls and swims….
The morning started out very early and one dolphin molester discovered that Cove Guardian Rex is made of stone. This dolphin molesting SOB was blocking the steps in an attempt to keep the Cove Guardians from ascending a hill that happens to have a good vantage point. It was pitch black. When Rex decided to ignore the guy, the molester pushed Rex. Have you ever tried to push a wall? The molester rebounded backwards and ended up on his arse with his feet flailing in the air. Immediately, he was on his phone frantically calling for help. Rex also had help arrive on the scene and we called the police. The molester told the police that it was only a shoulder bump and not an assault. We wanted the molester arrested and charged, but it is clear that was not going to happen. I wonder what would have happened if the roles were reversed. Silly question.
We have made it very clear to the authorities that we will not initiate a physical altercation, but if attacked we will respond appropriately and defend ourselves. Within Japanese law, one has a right to defend oneself. I have promised to obey Japanese law.
after Luana's swimLater in the day I arrived at the cove. (I had been working from a different vantage point.) I discovered that Cove Guardian Tarah had decided to take a swim in the cove so she could film the dolphins from underwater. She knew not to cross the net. The police were quite animated. While everyone was focused on this little stand off, Cove Guardian Luana apparently had had enough and jumped in. She was halfway to the net before anyone realized what she had done. Suddenly Tarah joined her and the two women swam about. The video from Tarah's camera did not pick up dolphin images underwater, but it did record their voices. This is a must see/hear video clip.
There was a lot of blustering and questioning when the two women emerged from the water. Luana, her husband David, and their two boys (aged 1 and 2) joined us on the evening of the fourth.
In the end, the molesters did what they did. The important thing is that they did it under scrutiny. They have gone to great lengths in an attempt to keep our cameras from recording their shameful deeds. They can no longer hide or operate with impunity. We wonder how much it costs the government to fund the police and coast guard response to our presence. We wonder how important Japan's reputation is to its government. The dolphin molesting men and women in Taiji constantly cause shame. Is this sustainable or is there a better way forward for Taiji and Japan? Sea Shepherd Cove Guardians are not leaving. Quite the contrary as our numbers are increasing. More and more future Cove Guardians are announcing their plans to join us this year and next.
Tomorrow, Taiji celebrates its annual whaling festival. Guess who will be joining them? It looks like 15 or so Cove Guardians will be taking in the "cultural" sights. It was truly surreal today. I was operating from a vantage point where I could see the gutting barge, the holding pens, and the butcher house. The main stage for the festival was in the picture too. There were song and dance rehearsals going on while we were filming the horror. There was this soundtrack emanating from the loudspeakers while lives were being lost or otherwise destroyed.
You can help. Spread the word, send donations to the Sea Shepherd to help fund the Cove Guardian campaign, avoid all travel to Japan except to become a Cove Guardian with us here in Taiji, make good consumer choices regarding whether or not to purchase Japanese products, and ensure that you do everything you can to keep the pressure on the Japanese authorities and your own governments. It is unfortunate that the reputation of an entire nation is being tarnished by the evil and shameful deeds of a handful of men and women in Taiji. To join us (voluntarily, and completely at your own cost and risk) in Taiji, write to me at email@example.com. I will get back to you, but please be patient. I cannot keep an eye on the Cove and answer email at the same time.

Provo • A BYU basketball spokesperson confirmed Friday that rising senior point guard Raul Delgado has decided to leave the program.
To which college basketball program Delgado is transferring is not known.
Delgado's transfer leaves BYU coach Dave Rose with two available scholarships for the 2013-14 basketball season.
The Cougars recently signed Salt Lake Community College combo guard Skyler Halford, a signal perhaps that Delgado's future in the program was bleak.
Delgado, who prepped at nearby Springville High, played two years of junior college basketball at Western Nebraska Community College before transferring to BYU.
He entered BYU with three years on his clock to play two years, so he leaves with a redshirt year available.
Delgado started the 2012-13 season with an elbow injury that limited his practice time, and never really found a role in Rose's rotation.
He averaged just 6.6 minutes per game and scored just 1.8 points per game. He shot .346 from the field, .258 from 3-point range and had 12 assists, nine steals and eight turnovers.
Delgado, who grew up in Chihauhau, Mexico, had offers from TCU, Utah State, Wyoming and Detroit before committing to BYU in January of 2012. He averaged 19.7 points for WNCC and shot 43 percent from 3-point range during his sophomore season at WNCC.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 25/4/2014 (1186 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
For more than 90 years, the Trail Riders of the Canadian Rockies have preserved the cowboy way of life in the backcountry -- with a few modern conveniences.
No need to worry about planning or cooking meals, navigating, or setting up camp on these trips -- cooks, packers and guides are all part of the package.
This summer, the non-profit organization's six-day professionally guided trail rides (10 in total) will start at the historic Ya-Ha-Tinda Ranch in western Alberta. Guests will travel across the ranch's property and over provincial land to base camp and set up east of the headwaters of the Red Deer River in Banff National Park. From there, the group heads out on different rides every day -- to a lake, pass or canyon for a picnic lunch. By week's end, riders will log about 120 kilometres.
The first Trail Riders started clomping through the bush in 1923. Back then, about 65 riders came out every summer for the annual events. The trips were sponsored by the Canadian Pacific Railway as a way of attracting tourists and promoting its hotels in Banff and Lake Louise, says Stuart Watkins, the Trail Riders' current volunteer president.
In 1962, the club nearly folded when CP Rail stopped sponsoring. A group of Calgarians, led by Stuart's father, Howard Watkins, banded together to keep it alive as an independent, non-profit organization. They started with $50 in their bank account and stored the camping and kitchen equipment in Howard's basement.
While today the actual camping experience -- with raised cots and hot showers -- is more comfortable than the club's founders encountered back in the '20s, the club's aim remains to provide riders with "a western cultural experience."
"We educate them, we train them, we teach them how to ride, we bring them out, we show them the western experience and we do things in a very cultural way," Watkins said.
This year will be no different -- count on scenic rides, square dancing and a three-course meal at the end of each day -- if the organization can get at least 120 people to register and pay a $500 deposit by April 1 to secure its contract with its outfitter.
Like his father before him, Watkins' mission is to keep the club alive.
Faced with economic and cultural changes in recent years, and restrictions from Parks Canada on where the Trail Riders can go and how many clients can come, the association is fighting to keep up in a competitive tourism market.
"We have a whole generation of people who've never been camping before and they don't realize how much fun it is," Watkins said. "They get to be 20 or 30 and they've got good jobs and they've got money, but their idea of a vacation is to jump on the WestJet and go sit on a beach in the Dominican and drink mai tais."
The club can take 35 people on each of its rides this summer, including eight staff, as stipulated by Parks Canada. Some years, depending on where in the mountain parks they go, it can be as few as 15, Watkins said.
"Some years we do financially really, really well. Some years we lose our shirt. It all balances out. We haven't gone broke yet; we've come close a couple of times, but we're still here," he said.
Parks Canada limits the number of riders in large groups to diminish the impact on the environment and other park users.
"Horse parties staying overnight in a stationary camp have additional impacts because of their need for corrals and grazing," Mark Merchant, a spokesman for Banff National Park, said in an email.
Watkins is not sweating the April 1 deadline yet, because the Trail Riders have a 60 per cent return rate.
He's relying on regulars such as Gary Sandbeck, 60, a construction supervisor from Calgary, to come back for more. Some riders have been on as many as 30 to 40 trips, Watkins says.
This summer will be Sandbeck's sixth time. Last summer, he brought his 29-year-old daughter along.
"I've lived in bush and wilderness almost all my life, but now I live in Calgary, so I get back to where I feel really comfortable. I get back to where I really don't worry about what's needed to be done at work. What I get back, too, are the open skies and the starlit nights," Sandbeck said.
As an added perk this year, there will be two themed rides, including one with a landscape and wildlife photographer and an amateur astronomer. They will give lectures and workshops throughout the week.
"I've got the greatest product in the world -- I have the Canadian Rockies," Watkins said. "For me to take somebody from Nova Scotia or New Zealand, Vancouver or even Calgary and take them back there and show it to them, that gives me more Canadian pride than anything I can possibly feel."
Rides run from June 30 to Sept. 6 and cost about $2,000. That includes the guides, accommodation in tents and teepees, meals and a horse.

By Karen Garloch The Charlotte Observer
Summertime is full of hazards: from bee stings to muscle cramps to motion sickness.
Joe and Terry Graedon, famous for "The People's Pharmacy" syndicated column and National Public Radio show, suggest looking in your kitchen cabinet for first aid.
"It fits with 'The People's Pharmacy' mantra," said Joe Graedon. "Might help. Won't hurt. Doesn't cost very much."
He's a pharmacologist, and she's a medical anthropologist. Here are some of their favorite home remedies:
Burns: If you happen to burn yourself while grilling hamburgers, one of the best remedies may be nearby.
"Grab the yellow mustard, especially if it's cold," Joe said. "Just pour it on the burn and let it dry. You will be surprised. The yellow mustard takes away the pain."
Do this after first running cold water on the burn, they said.
The Graedons heard about the mustard remedy from a caller to their radio show. The caller remembered that his twin brother burned his hand on a wood stove, maybe 40 years ago, and their mother stuck the child's hand into a big jar of mustard.
It dried like a yellow mitten, with no blisters or redness.
Why does it work? They think it's the turmeric and vinegar. Soy sauce also does the job, they said.
Cramps: Got muscle cramps? Grab the mustard again. "Swallow a teaspoonful of mustard. It's about the fastest remedy we can think of," Joe said.
Another caller said he was on a 120-mile bike ride when he developed cramps. He sucked down a few yellow mustard packets and his cramps were gone in less than a minute.
Minor cuts: To stop the bleeding from cuts and nicks, pour on finely ground black pepper, the Graedons said.
You can wrap the cut with a towel or bandage, but you don't have to. "Basically, it'll just stop bleeding within several seconds," Joe said.
The Graedons don't recommend it for more serious cuts.
Stings: You can soothe the sting of a wasp or bee by holding the cut side of an onion on the sting, the Graedons said.
They believe it works because onions contain anti-inflammatory agents.
Two alternatives: Meat tenderizer or baking soda. Make a paste with the powder and water. Slather it on the sting immediately.
Allergies and asthma: If your allergy medication isn't handy, drink two cups of coffee, maybe three if they're small.
"Caffeine in the coffee is almost as good as an old asthma medicine called theophylline," Joe said.
Motion sickness: Ginger is an ancient Chinese treatment. Make a tea or just eat candied ginger.
Rash: If you come in contact with poison ivy or poison oak, first wash the area with soap and water or alcohol wipes.
Then slather a soothing film of milk of magnesia on the rash, the Graedons said.
It also works for jock itch and other fungal infections. The Graedons said their website has become popular with women looking for relief from what is called "breast fungus" or "bra fungus."
Listerine also works, Terry said.
Nosebleeds: Put something really cold — such as a metal key or an ice cube — at the back of the neck.
One woman told the Graedons she keeps a butter knife in the freezer just for this purpose.
Why does it work? "It probably has something to do with reflexes and the way the nervous system and vascular system interact," Terry said.
Perspiration: Apply milk of magnesia to underarms instead of deodorant. The Graedons heard about this from a woman who forgot her antiperspirant on vacation.
It's a little messy, though. And one of the ingredients — sodium hypochlorite, commonly known as bleach — is a cause for concern, they said.
So the Graedons came up with their own product: milk of magnesia roll-on deodorant. It sells for $5.95, plus shipping and handling, on their website: www.peoplespharmacy.com.

The rumor that PA Parenteau is looking to sign a deal in Montreal is untrue, according to his agent Allan Walsh.
The rumor appeared on twitter late Sunday evening saying that Parenteau wanted to play in the Canadian city and was looking for a 4 year, $3 million deal. Walsh refuted the rumor on twitter saying, "the only thing PA Parenteau is focused on at this time is returning to the NYI."
He later told Islanders Hockey Blog via email: "PA Parenteau's sole focus is returning to the NYI. The Islanders gave him his opportunity to play regularly in the NHL. He enjoys a special relationship with the head coach and his teammates. It's PA's sincere hope that he can remain an Islander."
Parenteau will be an unrestricted free agent come July 1, if the Islanders do not resign him.no comments
Kirill Petrov will be staying in the KHL for at least another year, according Puck Daddy's Dmitry Chesnokov.
Chesnokov tweeted out at 7:36 that the Islander prospect had signed a contract extension with his KHL team, AK Bars. Petrov is in the final year of his KHL contract and was expected to come to North America and join the Isles for training camp in September.
NY Times hockey writer and former Islanders Point Blank blogger, Chris Botta added more to the story.
"Just got off the phone with the agent for #Isles prospect Kirill Petrov," he posted on Sulia. "The #Isles very much want Petrov to come to North America this season, but he is leaning towards signing for another one or two years in the KHL. He has strong offers for both in KHL. His mother remains very ill and he wants to be able to stay close to her. Petrov is also a bit scared off by the uncertainty of negotiations this summer for a new CBA for the NHL. As of now, looks like he's staying in KHL. Decision soon."
Things could change, but for now it seems that he will be staying in Russia.
On one hand you can understand the precarious situation Petrov is with his mother since she is ill. Anyone can understand the want, and need, to be around and help take care of her. Also his fear of another lockout is something that any hockey fan can understand.
But it still is a loss for the Islanders who, as Botta said, really wanted to get the 22 year old to North America.

The award will be handed out on Wednesday, June 20, at the NHL Awards show in Las Vegas.no comments
The Bridgeport Sound Tigers' season came to an end this evening as they fell, 4-3, to the Connecticut Whale in game three of their best of five game series. Casey Wellman netted the game winner with just less than five minutes to play in the overtime period to achieve the sweep for the Whale
Cam Talbot was once again forced to make 40 plus saves in the win. Kevin Poulin was forced to make 50 saves, the most he has had to make in a game in this series.
The Whale opened up the scoring in the first period Marek Hrivik scored his third goal of the series at the 6:11 mark. The Sound Tigers evened the score at one in the final minute of the period. Justin Dibenedetto put a shot past Talbot to score Bridgeport's first goal of the game and series.
Ryan Bourque put the Whale back on top in the third at 5:32. David Ullstrom answered back with a goal of his own to tie the game back up. Hrivik scored his second goal of the game, fourth of the series, a minute later to make it 3-2 Connecticut.
Rhett Rakhshani gave the Sound Tigers hope, tying the game with four minutes left in regulation and force an overtime period.
Late in OT, Tony Romano took a slashing penalty and the Whale's Wellman capitalized on the man advantage to win the game for Connecticut. Romano was given 10-minute misconduct for unsportsmanlike conduct and a game misconduct for abuse of officials (Rule 39.5 (ii)) at the same time as the game-winning goal. He was sent off the ice and did not partake in the post-game handshake.
After the game several players took to twitter. Poulin took to criticizing one official in particular.
"Francis Charron wasn't even a good major junior reff," his tweet read. "Still wondering why he's up here with the big guys. #stayHomeNextTime #TC"
Other players took to thank the fans for the season long support.
"Speechless," Casey Cizikas posted. "But thank you #BST fans for your support all season long, its sad it had to end this way."
"Thank you for all the support this year @TheSoundTigers and @NYIslanders fans! Wish we could've kept playing for you guys a lil longer," Tweeted Matt Donovan.
David Ullstrom added: "Thx for the birthday wishes. You guys have been awesome all year and your support means a lot. Not the ending we wanted but we'll be back."Rhett Rakhshani was sad to see the season end for a different reason.
"Toughest part bout the end of the season is knowing that you will never be with that same exact group of guys. We had a special group," he tweeted.

(Editors note: Due to time constraints I was not able to go down to the locker room for post-game interviews. Quotes come from Michael Fornabaio of the Connecticut Post.)
Bridgeport, Conn -- The Sound Tigers put 41 shots on goal, but were once again shut out by Cam Talbot and the Whale, who won 3-0.
Talbot, who was the game's first star, had stopped 42 shots the previous game against the Sound Tigers.
"You're running into a hot goalie," Brent Thompson told the CT Post. "They've obviously played very well. For us, we've just got to stay the course. We've got to find a way to create offense, whether that's more shots, on the rush, net drive, net presence, cutting back, puck possession."
The game opened up with J.T Miller taking a hooking penalty 1:10 into the period. Then Kris Newbury took a roughing penalty 14 seconds later and the Sound Tigers went on the 5-on-3. They had several chances, but could not get one by Talbot.
Connecticut scored their first goal moments after the Sound Tigers power play ended. Jon Landry made a giveaway in is own zone and Jonathan Audy-Marchessault put one past Kevin Poulin to give the Whale a 1-0 lead.
"We can't take a six-minute break early in the game," Thompson said. "We got outworked."
The Whale added to that lead when Marek Hrivik scored the game's second goal at the 6:44 of the second period. And Hrivik scored his second goal of the game with a little over five minutes left in the game to seal a 3-0 shutout win for the Whale.
The game 2 loss means that Bridgeport must win this afternoon or they'll be eliminated from the playoffs. Today's game starts at 5 p.m. at the Xcel Center.
Game Notes:
- Rhett Rakhshani got hit in the mouth with a puck of last night's loss. A whale clearing attempt, in the second period, went right into his mouth and Rakhshani immediately hit the ice in pain. He left the game, but later returned early in the third period.
- Late in the game frustration boiled over for the Sound Tigers and several scrums and a fight broke out. Whale Captain Wade Redden dropped the gloves with Justin Debenedetto.
- Also, Casey Cizikas was given a game misconduct for abuse-of-officials (Rule 39.5 (ii)). Cizikas had been aggressively trying to break away from an official as he was being led off the ice and could be clearly seen motioning and gesturing on the ice, but it was unclear to whom exactly.no comments
NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman questioned the viability of an Islanders move to Brooklyn, during his 90-minute state-of-the-league address to the Associated Press Sports Editors at the NHL offices in New York City.
"Barclays, I suppose, on some level, is an option," Bettman was quoted as saying by Newsday. "But I'm not sure how effective it can serve the fan base that principally is in Nassau, Suffolk and Queens. It's not that easy to get to Atlantic Avenue in Brooklyn. So it's not anything that's been focused on, other than the Islanders are going to play a preseason game there."
While the Nassau Coliseum is centrally located just off the Meadowbrook parkway, which connects with LIE, Northern State Parkway and Southern State Parkway, the Barclays Center may be even more convenient since it is located right in the middle of a transportation hub. That has been one major thing Nassau Coliseum has lacked since its' opening. The building has very little options as far as public transportation is concerned.
Bettman's comments are especially puzzling since the Barclays Center has plenty of ways for fans to get out to Brooklyn to catch a game.
For fans coming from Nassau or Suffolk County, a hop on the Long Island Rail Road with a transfer at Jamaica would get them to a game. Similar to how fans from Long Island would get to a New York Mets or Yankees game. And for fans in Queens, there are 11 bus lines that make stops at the new Brooklyn arena and 12 subway lines that stop there.
So to summarize, Mets fans can utilize public transportation 81 times a year, but Islander fans cannot. Makes sense right? Not to mention Ranger fans who do it to get to Madison Square Garden. Or Knick fans.
Bettman did go on to say that the league is continuing to help the Islanders explore their options "in the metropolitan area" and that the team has not currently discussed moving outside of the New York Area.
"[Charles Wang] wants to do the right thing for the fans on Long Island," Bettman said. "Let's be clear: He bought the Islanders to have them on Long Island. But he's not getting a lot of help or cooperation."
The NHL Commissioner took several digs at Nassau County and the Town of Hempstead saying that they seem unwilling or unable to deal with the Coliseum situation. Adding that they don't seem invested in having a new arena.
Both Bettman and Wang have both repeatedly said that the Islanders will not play in Nassau Coliseum past 2015.

LA Park Near Chinatown to be Upgraded
LOS ANGELES (CNS) - One of Los Angeles' newest urban greenways will be getting a nearly $20 million, yearlong makeover, starting next month.
Los AngelesStateHistoricalPark, a 34-acre former "brownfield" acquired by the state in 2001 and brought to life in 2005 when planted with corn for the "Not A Cornfield" art project, will be getting new walkways, native landscaping, a 2-acre wetland habitat and a rangers station, among other things.
The park just north of Chinatown, sandwiched between Broadway and Spring Street, will be developed in three sections. The northern section, nearest the Los AngelesRiver, will house a public art project to be designed by Lauren Bon, the artist behind "Not A Cornfield."
The central section will be largely open and known as "The Great Meadow," and the southern section will have a welcome pavilion and play area.
In recent years, the park has been home to several big music festivals.

DIAMOND BAR - For the first time in 12 years, the city will not be celebrating the Fourth of July.
At least, not publicly.
The City Council canceled its annual Fourth of July Blast because of work being done at venues that had hosted the event in recent years.
"Both Diamond Bar High School and Lorbeer Middle School are currently undergoing construction and therefore unavailable for this year's event," the city said in a recent news release.
Director of Community Services Bob Rose said neither site can accommodate the event, which usually includes live bands, crafts, food, children's activities and a fireworks show.
Rose also evaluated seven other possible sites but said all were deemed "unsuitable for a fireworks show," leading to a decision by the City Council last week to cancel the event.
"Because pyrotechnics are involved, special care needs to be taken to ensure that the event site accommodates safe spectator areas, as well as adequate firework lighting and fallout zones," he said in a written statement.
Last year's blast was held at Lorbeer, and 2011's event was at Diamond Bar High. The first blast was in July 2001 at Sycamore Canyon Park. It moved to the high school in 2006 when its needs outgrew the park.
The city said it plans on bringing back the public Independence Day celebration in 2014 in coordination with other public events marking the city's 25th anniversary. Diamond Bar incorporated as a city in 1989.

Can't beat the price, cleanliness, convenience and comfort We will be making the Deluxe Inn our planned stop when traveling between our homes in Florida and Pa.
Friendly, pleasant staff and easy check-in. Great rates and convenient location. Very clean large rooms!
The room was great. I loved the larger size refrigerator with separate freezer and microwave. The room was very clean and comfortable.
Clean place, great customer service, updated showers/bathroom. Stayed there 2 nights with a 1 year old and a 4 year old and wasn't scared to let them sleep in the bed. It was so clean I couldn't get over it. I couldn't ask for more for the price. Didn't have any aminties other than just being a room to stay in.
very clean fresh rooms and a great price for overnight stay
Very Clean
Staff very friendly and helpful
Staff were great. Room was very nice and clean Noise from other rooms.
Good, clean hotel. No issues.
Staff was above and beyond friendly and helpful, really going out of their way to help this mom traveling solo with 2 young kids. Greatly appreciated!
The staff was courteous, and in general, helpful I missplaced my drivers license, and even though i had paid online, the front staff desk manager would not allow me to check in. I offered my business cards, to show my photo and information on my company's website, but to no avail. I finally found my driver license, so was able to stay at the hotel, but i would otherwise would have gone through a lot of hassle to find another hotel. Also the pool closed at 9:30, just when i was ready to use it, nd didn't open again till 9:30am, too late for me to use it.
The restaurant was nice the room service was pretty good. I also love the fact that their towels and bedding didn't have a burnt dryer smell I would have enjoyed the stay a little more if they didn't have such thin wall. I could hear everything in the hallway. They also do very early clean up. Who knocks on the door to clean at 9am?? Even if I had put the do not disturb sign I would have been disturbed by the knocking next door or across the hall.
Super friendly staff. Very clean. Very comfortable.
Clean, big room, checkin and checkout was easy. A door separating the shower & toilet from the sink area did not close (we were there with kids). Parking was scarce.
Overall we got a good deal on a hotel that is ideally located off 95. Courteous staff and comfortable beds. Older building/bathrooms. Overall very positive experience, we would stay there again.
The food and service at the restaurant was excellent. However, I asked for a quiet room. I was put away from elevators in the back of the building. I could hear noise from the power she'd housing the air conditioner. No magnifying mirror in bathroom Noise from the power shed.
This Embassy Suites was a good price for this type of facilities. The morning meal was awesome, cooked to order. There were no trash containers around the outside sitting areas. Also there needs to be a covered area at one of the outside sitting areas, for the smokers.
Very clean and well appointed. Food was good and the pool was just what the kids needed. Sink had low water pressure.
Nice spacious room On the weekend we had a loud party next door and could hear everything. But overall great stay and convenient to shops and IMAX.
The staff was very nice on my visit. The layout of this motel. To To few elevators and once you get to your room you have to walk forever to get anywhere.
Service was great
Okay location near highway. The room had a musty odor and really showed its age. I was too tired to complain but this was not good value for money. You'd be better off staying at a cheaper motel than this Holiday Inn unless you need the restaurant and bar in house. A/C did not work.
Worst place I ever stayed Clean that place, does not deserve 3 stars
We were on the road for several hours on a trip that always seems somewhat stressful due to traffic and our getting older. I choose Holiday Inn because it seems to always be just right. Friendly service a friendly staff all complete the package to make for a pleasant stay. Thank you.
Staff was friendly. It had beds. Red mold in shower and on curtain. Inconvenient elevators. Room felt like a sauna when I walked in. Very surprised this was a 3 star hotel. Not what I expect when paying over $100 for a room. Wi-Fi was slow, albeit free.
The staff was pleasant and helpful. Bed was comfortable. Great ammenities on site, pretty much an all-inclusive property for a traveler. Needs updating. Could not connect to wifi. The operator offered to send someone to the room to help but no one showed. The hair dryer did not work and there was no outlet to plug one of the bedside lamps into - why even bother to have the lamp there?
handsome place, seemed newly refurbished, good location with a friendly staff the only good thing about the free breakfast was the coffee, avoid everything else
Cleanliness, manager reception 2 nights per week. Which served dinner and drinks. House meeting supervisor goes to rooms to ask for feedback.
The price was high for such a mediocre hotel.
The staff was really nice
This guest did not leave comments about this hotel.
Kitchen area with plates and sliver wear,and glass cup and more.two queen bed with sofa bed.nice deco,a lot of space for store all your stuff.Two TV ,bed area and kitchen area...awesome! Kitchen and bathroom floore was dirty.Staff bring pack and play,but not setting for us!just drop off!No indoor pool!Front desk person wasn't there and not nice to me
This guest did not leave comments about this hotel.
The space was great. Very clean rooms. Felt just like home. All was well.
Very hospitable staff, lots of room, even for five people, clean beds and room, great breakfast.
Barking dog next door hotel room. Noisy room with someone running in room above.
I liked that it was VERY clean and all looked brand new. The lobby even smelled very clean! Rooms were very spacious, and the bed was extremely comfortable. Pillows were soft. The bathroom was a bit small. Also, I have a 5 yr old so I needed a tub in the bathroom. I had to go inside the shower (and get all wet) in order to give him a bath because the stand up shower was uncomfortable.
Spacious room, had everything we needed, coffee station is great, gym and laundry exactly what we needed The 4th floor should not be smoking: we were on the 2nd floor and woke up to massive amounts of smoke coming into our bathroom and through our air conditioner it was stifling. Workers were great except when we teaquested room service we didn't get any.
Staff was very helpful and just down right good people work at the hotel. None.
You really felt like you were home & not living out of a hotel. There was plenty of bedding available, the staff was excellent, great location in town, and awesome price. Definitely deserves to be considered a 3 maybe even 4 star hotel ! No, I can honestly say this hotel more than exceeded my expectations !
Staff N/a
I loved the hotel! I saw absolutely nothing wrong or out of the norm, the staff was very nice and smiled (not in passive way, but in a real way). They were helpful... before my mother, father, and my family stayed we toured the room to see if it was what we wanted. The breakfast they had, I dont feel it should have been included. Many hotels I have been to do it the same way, when you serve a hot breakfast butffet with a on duty chef to make whatever else you ask for it might just cost 8.95. If you don't want that then go some where else. For me, my husband, and two kids (who ate free) it was a deal. Keep in mind they also have the option (at least online anyway) to pay about 10 more for the room which will include the breakfast for everyone in your room so its like one breakfast free. The decoraction of the hotel, the roominess of the room, the ammenities, the location to the areas I need to get to, the breakfast, and most important the professional staff. I have that hotel a 5.
had reservations foe the room w/ breakfast, desk person would not honor, my reservation, because i was a blue member, but i told them they will honor it because i paid for it, they finally gave in after a few choice words
It's definetly worth the extra money to stay here in Fayetteville. Here at least you'll know you will have a clean room with professional staff. It's the only place in fayetteville that I have stayed that I've felt safe.
My stay at this hotel was very enjoyable. The staff was friendly and helpful. The room was clean and neat and the cleaning staff were very pleasant. I would stay here again.
I am not a big air mattress fan so I did not find the bed to be very comfortable. My husband had no problem. The hotel is clean and very easy to get too. Little traffic area and in addition to the breakfast served at the hotel there are plenty of area restaurants. I would stay at this hotel again.
Despite booking months in advance, I was given a smoking room. They said my credit card had expired since i made the reservation--but they should have picked that up when I made the booking--not at 1230AM when I walked in the door. One day they just changed the bed linens and took the towels but didn't clean the bathroom and replace the towels. The refrigerator and the air conditioner were very noisy. Not such a great experience.
For the price, this was not worth it to me. The rooms were clean and bright, but since it's the Garden Inn you can't close the curtains all the way. Breakfast should be included. Was locked out of my room an hour before check out. They said my key was ''demagnetized''...highly doubt it. It had been working the entire time and I kept the key in the same place. Military rates are only given if you have your written orders. The hotel should not have any right or need to view these sensitive and personal documents. We refused to show them and they made an exception, but be forwarned!
I go to Fayetteville often on business and for personal reasons (husband in the military) and this is my preferred choice. The last time we were there was for my husband, and they took his military ID for the discount, no questions or other paperwork/his orders necessary. The room was clean and new, the bed was comfortable and large. I appreciated the desk-level outlet for my computer, I didn't have to get on all-fours to plug anything in. Free wireless internet had a strong signal. I really appreciated their business center with free computer use and free remote printing from your room to the business center (printing out my boarding pass for the train was easy). Not every hotel here, even those in the comparable price range have free Internet! The initial reason I stayed at the hotel was due to the fact I wanted a pool (and in Nov it would need to be indoor) and the hotel price was only a bit more than comparable hotels w/ outdoor pools that would have been closed. The pool was clean and the water was warm. The jacuzzi was broken during my stay, sadly. I needed to extend my stay by an additional night, and unfortunately they did not have rooms. The front desk staff was friendly and helpful with getting us another room at another hotel. They offer warm cookies at night. Breakfast in the morning is not included, we did not eat there due to our plans. While this is very close to the Cross Creek Mall, I would advise that it's not 'walkable' as some of the other hotels on Skibo Road -- the only downfall.
Room was clean and provided a friendly environment. Pool and Jacuzzi was very relaxing and work-out facility provided some very nice equipment. The only negative was the room seem to be a bit pricey.
Towels were fresh Misleading advertising compared to the room photos. I expected more for the price payed. 1 star accommodations at 4 Star prices.
Friendly staff. Spacious, clean room. Comfortable bed. it would have been nice to either have a breakfast buffet or full service restaurant. The bistro was overpriced.
Pool was not operational
Nice bistro for food, and friendly staff. Rooms were quiet, and very clean. The location is off 95 a good bit, but for the price, well worth the extra 15m.
Location, convenience & staff friendliness. Nice selection of toiletries, snacks, etc in lobby but priced higher. Bistro for food offers another option from carb only brkfst selections, but not included in price ($15). Hair in shower, elevator doors filthy. In rm styrofoam (vs paper) coffee cups. Elliptical would not stay on more than 30 secs and rough. Breakfast not inc'd. $4.92 rm chg for 1 bottle of Figi H2O (no vending machines). Starbucks only selection in lobby.
This guest did not leave comments about this hotel.
In my way
This guest did not leave comments about this hotel.
Our server at the Bistro was friendly and served us at just the right pace. No
The bed was very comfortable. No complimentary breakfast.
The staff and room were amazing. Staff was kind and had the answer and the room was beyond beautiful with everything needed! Not one bad thing about this hotel
This guest did not leave comments about this hotel.
Above average breakfast. I particularly like the non-instant oatmeal and scrambled eggs. Spaciousness of the room. The only thing I do not like about this hotel is that there are no non-pet rooms. The hotel would have been excellent to me if it has separate pet-friendly and non-pet rooms.
Awesome Hotel! I would definitely stay there again and recommend to family and friends Wonderful Hotel!
I absolutely love this hotel. It feels like home away from home. I love the fully equipped kitchen. The bed was dreamy and I slept like a baby.
Rooms were need and well appointed. Tub did not drain therefore did not feel clean. staff was rude during check in to me and other guests; hotel was understaffed in the morning; no coffee and again some staff was rude.
Everything, the staff and manager are awesome. The breakfast is a true 'hot' buffet with different options every morning. great place to stay and we had 2 dogs with us totally a true pet friendly and family friendly hotel would recommend this hotel. not a thing to complain about
The staff was awesome!!! I had to change rooms because the TV wasn't working and the carpet had bleach stains. We had to evacuate because of a fire at 3 am. While the staff was friendly, the overall experience was not good.
Full kitchen No trash cans in room and breakfast was chaotic
Very clean hotel and room was EXCELLENT! Definately would stay at the hotel again . The hottub and pool area was in a remodel but everything else was great!! Real good breakfast
The room size was great. Can't really find anything that I didn't like.
I loved their bathtub, and the bed. They were both big! There was a stain the closet on the floor.....
It was clean, nice and quiet. A little far off the highway
Breakfast was horrible. I thought I was in an episode of Hells Kitchen
Location in relation to highway was good. We only stayed one night, so for one night, it was fine. People were very nice and helpful. Bar had nice servers and so did cafe. The breakfast buffet was nice too. Beds slept terribly. Also we got a king room and so did my in-laws. We had a pullout couch in our room and they didn't. We needed it for our two small kids, but it was odd that the rooms weren't all the same and the girl at the front desk told us that no rooms had pullout couches.
the atmosphere was pleasant Breakfast could have had better choices for example: turkey bacon or sausage for everyone isn't a pork eater, fried apples or omelets.
Staff was very friendly and helpfull. It was a great place to stay, very comfortable and clean
I like the size of my room, the fact that there were tons of channels available on the television, the beds were super comfortable, and that there was underground parking. I did not like the customer service that I received. The staff did not seem like they were very happy to be working there. I did not feel appreciated.
Their beds were comfortable, rooms were clean. Over all a clean safe hotel. Would revisit n the future. Sheets were stained, after requesting a change, the bed was made up with same soiled sheets. After calling the front desk a hotel worker delivered the sheets at the door and left. Requiring us to make the change.poor service.
Bed/pillows not comfortable, room was not clean, bathroom was not clean.
I booked it to attend a family wedding and it was conveniently located within minutes/miles of everywhere we needed to be.
Rooms were smaller than the pictures
Friendly staff and nice room There was no soap in the bathroom
The location was pretty good. When I got there my room wasn't ready. I returned a hour later only to find that my room still wasn't ready. The man behind the counter also had a very smug attitude.
Bed was good. Quiet and clean enough. I would stay here again. Toilet leaked a little.
Chrtistmas eve we stayed here last minute. Same day reservations. Price was decent, bed was comfy. Location is nice near gas stations. Spacious for a the 1 king size bed.. and staff is nice
The room was clean and spacious the staff was polite and helpful also they have good popcorn and coffee 24 hours Nope
Nice hotel,nice rooms,friendly staff
Location, spacious room, clean bathroom. our room was a non-smoking room yet the blankets had some ash burns, PLUS there was a mild unpleasant smell as if there were a gang of sweaty dudes before us.
For the price everything was perfect. Not one complaint. clean and neat and friendly staff and was so grateful for the microwave and refrigerator! Not one thing.
Staff, price, convenience
Close to freeway. Relatively cheap Nothing to make note of
Clean room, good location at a good price. Lot of working crews staying at hotel. Stood outside door talking loudly and drinking by a portable propane grill by the stairs outside my room.
The bed was very comfortable. They must have replaced them recently. Broken controls for the whirlpool tub (connected the first and what you would expect to be the light switch) result in getting sprayed with residual water from the tub jets. Also, breakfast has no protein (not even peanut butter). Not 2 star breakfast.
The beds The location .
Quiet for the most part considering i didnt check in until 6am Housekeeping isnt the best, dirty towel was under the pillows bread crums on the floor, and to top it off was rudely awakened 2hrs after arriving bu the housekeeper banging on the door like she was part of the swat team
The staff was pleasant. One of the room attendants walked in on my family with our night cloths on which was super inappropriate, but he was reprimanded and the staff apologized and gave me a courtesy credit for a cotton we rented, which made it free. So all in all it was nice
Front desk staff. Bathroom
Extremely friendly, knowledgable, articulate staff. Room was clean, roomy, bed was comfortable. Breakfast was good
I loved the location. Very close to I95. Our room was cllean, the hotel was quiet and everyone was friendly. The breakfast room was kind of crowded nowhere to sit and eat.
The beds were really comfortable, it was clean, and right off of 95. Perfect for a halfway stop on a road trip.
Clean friendly staff with a perfect location Nothing
Breakfast should be later than I AM for us retirees !!!!
A great value given the cleanliness of the rooms and well-run establishment. Great value. It was clear that a lot of attention went into the details of room decoration, maintenance, and operations. Nothing not to like! Especially for the price, it was a very pleasant stay.
HORRIBLE. Everything about it was disgusting. As I was playing clap clap with my baby on the "clean" bed sheets the day we arrived, my black iphone screen became heavily coated with what was clearly shedded skin cells.
Our room was clean, affordable and the hotel is pet-friendly [for an additional $10]. The staff was friendly and efficient. A night's stay includes a basic continental breakfast. I'll remember to stop here the next time I pass through. This is an older property. It appears well-maintained, but if you're looking for a luxury hotel, this is not the place for you.
Nothing There were bed bugs in the room , I got falsely accused of smoking , they refused to give me my money back and I called corporate .
I have stayed at this location many of times. However my most recent experience was not the best. It was dirty and I didn't feel as if it was cleaned good from the last guest that stayed in the room prior to my arrival.
Renovated rooms, fast wifi, great location, and affordable!
Clean hotel, friendly staff Nothing
The bed was not comfortable.
Room was clean and cozy. Staff was very informative and helpful at check in. Check out time of noon was great for sleeping in after a late night concert. Wifi worked fine and flat screen tv was a nice unexpected upgrade. Noise outside can be heard easily inside. Motel is very dated, beds and pillows not the most comfortable.
The towels were surprisingly soft and the facilities looked very nice for the price we paid. (We didn't have time to use them - Just a quick night over on the way to Hilton Head.) The floor in the bathroom had a strange feel, like they used too much cleaning solution. The room had a musty smell at first, but cleared up once we ran the a/c for a while.
Nothing. Non smoking rooms smell like smoking rooms. Noise and the people. The area as well...
The staff was nice. The place is overall run down. I was put in a smoking room, so that was unpleasant (my clothes smelled like an ashtray when I left). There were holes in the pillows and the cases didn't adequately cover them. Sheets were wrinkled with some stains which made me question their cleanliness (although I think they had been washed; they were just old). The internet was spotty, but worked. There was nothing I could eat at the Breakfast (all high carbs and the only thing that resembled eggs was pre-packaged that required microwaving...no thanks). Coffee did its job, I suppose. It is way over-priced for the quality. I went to a neighboring hotel my next night.
I reserved non smoking howver when I got there, ai couldnt tell if it was a non smoking room or not, it smelled like amoke. Upon arrival, I got a call from a woman looking to provide her service. My wife was with me. Not cool at all.
It was decent for the price I paid for it. My boyfriend and I were able to just hang out there. If you had the privacy sign up they were really good at giving you that privacy. The maid would come back and check on you when the sign was down. The night security men were super nice and friendly. The pool was very small! My boyfriend had to go to work during the day and didn't feel comfortable leaving me alone there. The manager was great but the front desk ladies were rude and short. They acted like you were an inconvenience to them. Also our card wouldnt work every night when we got in and had to go to the country to get it fixed. There was a constant weed smell in the hallway. And I told the staff the room it was coming from and they didn't do anything about it..
Absolutely terrible. All 3 rooms had wet floors from air conditioners leaking. No blankets on beds. Cops in hotel all night from screaming lady down the hall all doped up. Didn't feel safe at all for my family.
Nothing Went I got to the hotel I was toll that they had no room
Every member of the staff we encountered were exceptionally pleasant, frontdesk, custodial, food and brevage, everyone. Room clean and beds comfortable. There is nothing I can enter here. Kudos to the hiring manager and trainers of this staff and to the workers, fantastic!
the bed was a little too firm
I traveled alone. The staff was awesome! Jamila was at the front desk with another young lady. They were kind, informative, welcoming & pleasant . I even enjoyed conversation with the man who work at the continental breakfast. Performance evaluation= highly effective. 6/12-6/14, 2015 The gym is too small.
Price for the added room, because we had 4 children with us...BUT at arrival find out its adults only?? I think this confusion is the fault of booking.com After listing that I was bringing children, and listing their ages, we arrive to find out the place is adults only (21+). The microwave would start shooting sparks when turned on. When I mentioned this to staff, their reactions was "Yeah, after a year, they start doing that." but offered no support to correct problem. Couch was showing a lot of wear and tear.
Staff was professional and helpful. Worked with large groups and still kept the individuals/small groups moving. Toilet was too low. Felt like I was back in Grade School. Did not expect Handicapped height. But as a short person, when I say toilet too low -- that is an issue.

Kelly Clarkson
Pop Musician / Talent Show Contestant
Date Of Birth:
24 April 1982
Place Of Birth:
Burleson, Texas
Kelly Clarkson is a pop singer whose career blasted off in 2002 when she won the talent competition in the American Idol television series (hosted by Ryan Seacrest). With a recording contract and a hit single ("A Moment Like This"), Clarkson was suddenly an international star. Her debut album, Thankful, was released in March of 2003 and immediately rose to the top of the charts, right alongside established stars such as Madonna, 50 Cent and Linkin Park. Her second album, Breakaway, was another hit, and one of the best selling albums of 2005. Clarkson won a Grammy award as Best Female Pop Vocal Performance for the album's single, "Since You Been Gone," and the album was nominated as Best Pop Vocal Album. Her third record, My December (2007), was released amid news reports of a feud with her record label, the firing of her longtime manager and the cancellation of big shows for a summer tour. The record was characterized by the press as a darker, rock-oriented record -- Clarkson breaking free from the constraints of professional songwriters, it was said -- and sold respectably, despite a lack of top hit singles.

Coconut Paradise
This is a double layer coconut cake w/ coconut icing & coconut filling. 9 in. round. The lady who ordered these cakes had a set of two really nice cake stands and wanted to use them as center pieces so she asked that I put some flowers on the cakes. This was my second attempt at fondant flowers and I was very happy with the way they came out. Thank you to Momof4luvscakes for submitting the coconut cream frosting and coconut filling recipes here on CC.

Finding that pinzon did not rejoin him, he returned to Cuba, and continued for several days sailing along the coast.
"The person who was judge in Orbajosa is judge no longer," said pinzon.
pinzon was thus the first European who crossed the line in the Atlantic.
It was the first land of that continent to be discovered, being sighted at least as early as 1500 by pinzon.
The voyages of Ojeda, Nio, and pinzon were but the more conspicuous.
He is said, although without sufficient authority, to have discovered Yucatan with pinzon in 1506.
pinzon was worn out with the hardships of the homeward voyage, and this crushing reproof was more than he could bear.
Librada had waited for pinzon, who had entered the house closely enveloped in his cloak, without speaking a word.
The two brothers pinzon, of noble extraction, at once volunteered for the voyage, but it was far from easy to enlist crews.
It is here very likely that the influence of the pinzon family was usefully applied.

White House's New Leak Villain: Former Top General
(NEWSER) – The Obama White House has prosecuted or charged eight people under the Espionage Act thus far—and another one is under investigation. Retired four-star Marine Gen. James "Hoss" Cartwright, former deputy chair of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, got a letter saying he was facing an inquiry over the leak of information on a cyberattack against Iran, NBC News reports. A Stuxnet worm attack against Iran's nuclear program briefly halted 1,000 centrifuges in 2010. The information was revealed in a New York Times report last year.
