SACRAMENTO: At least 500 health professional students, many wearing white coats and carrying signs saying, "We Are the Future of Health Care", marched up Sacramento's Capitol Mall on Monday, Jan. 11, to join with more than 500 union members, seniors and health care reform advocates in a spirited rally for State single-payer legislation.
For the past five years students have been gathering at the Capitol in January to lobby for health care for all, organized by the California Health Professional Student Alliance and the American Medical Student Association.
Led by Allen Clark, president of the 40,000 member California School Employees Association, the crowd chanted loudly "All America should beware, insurance companies just don't care," and "Decent healthcare, that's our right, We are here and we will fight," along with "What do we want? Single Payer! When do we want it? Now!"
Single payer healthcare legislation has passed the California Legislature twice in the past few years, and each time has been vetoed by Republican governor Arnold Schwarzenegger.
The new legislation, Senate Bill 810, the California Universal Healthcare Act, authored by state Senator Mark Leno, comes at a time when Schwarzenegger, termed out, could be replaced by a Democrat in November.
"Last year, 12.1 million Californians were without health care at some time," said Leno. "Your voice is needed in this building," he told the demonstrators.
Several other state legislators spoke, including former state Senator Sheila Kuehl, author of the two previous single payer bills. The crowd roared its appreciation of Kuehl, chanting "Sheila, Sheila, Sheila, Sheila" for several minutes.
The rally was also sponsored by the California Nurses Association, the California Physicians' Alliance, California One Care Now, and the California Alliance of Retired Americans.

Let $D$ be the open unit disc. The Schwarz Lemma states that if $f: D \to D$ with $f(0) = 0$, then $|f(z)| \leq |z|$ for all $z \in D$ among other things. Can this extend to the case when $f: D \to \overline{D}$, where $\overline{D}$ is the closed unit disc?
Holomorphic non-constant maps are open, which means that $f(D)$ must be an open subset of the plane, if $f$ is not the constant map. If you know that $f(D) \subseteq \overline{D}$, this means that you actually have $f(D) \subseteq D$, so the Lemma applies.

Tacoma Police Department spokesman Mark Fulghum said detectives believe the woman who was driving the vehicle ran over the victim intentionally, then left her for dead, based on information obtained during an investigation into the crash.
The victim was later identified as Michelle Johnson, 45, of Burien.
The driver has now been booked into Pierce County Jail on suspicion of first-degree murder, according to police records. She is identified in booking documents as a 33-year-old Tukwila woman with a prior arrest for theft.
According to detectives, the crash happened at the intersection of South 43rd Street and South J Street at about 8:20 p.m. Friday.
Police say the two women knew each other but got into an argument just before the crash.
Johnson was walking in the intersection when she was hit by an SUV driven by the other woman. Police say the driver suddenly made a left turn as Johnson stepped into the intersection.
The car knocked Johnson over - and she was left to die in the street.
Neighbors say the suspect took off in a hurry because they could hear tires squealing. But police say the driver called 911 a short time later, then turned herself in.
Detectives say the driver spent much of the night with Johnson, but the two women got into a fight and separated.
That's when the suspect got in her car, drove up behind the victim and waited for her to cross the street - then stepped on the gas, police say.
"I heard like a thunk, almost like a watermelon, and then a squealing of the tires," said neighbor Bob Johnson, who is no relation to the victim. "I'm pretty sure it was her when she hit the person, ran over her, and just took off."
Another neighbor, Mike Piatz, says, "I seen an ambulance giving CPR to a lady. And she was just laying there. ... And I just drove home. I thought it was maybe a heart attack or something."
Johnson died at the scene.

I'm installing a program on my MacBook that has to be unzipped to the ~/.spring directory; now, I know what Spring is, it's the name of the thing I'm installing. I'd be very happy to create a .spring folder if I knew what ~/. meant.
The tilde symbol (~) in OS X command-line terminology refers to your home directory, e.g /Users/Joe.
As JonathanMueller pointed out, anything with a dot (.) in front, is considered hidden. Thus, what your program needs you to do is to:
You will not be able to see this folder in Finder, as it is hidden, but going to Terminal and using ls -a while in Terminal will show up the hidden folders.
~ is a reference to the home directory. A dot directory is a "hidden" directory in UNIX.
To view 'hidden' files, use
or add -a to your usual 'ls' arguments. The -a flag is implied if you have superuser privs.

The goal of this paper is to determine the values of the optimum switchable LC compensators for maximum power factor or minimum transmission loss for nonlinear loads where the source harmonic voltages, load impedance and the Thevenin impedance are time varying. All the source harmonic voltages follow the same pattern. Also, a simple time variation for the Thevenin impedance is assumed. A significant part of the load consists from induction motors. The performance of the obtained compensator is discussed by means of numerical examples

The taste is so good with the lemon zest, parsley and garlic. I just had a small problem. The potatoes stuck to the pyrex dish. Next time I'll cook them longer at 350 F. Made for 123 hit wonders. Thanks SusieQusie :)
Wonderful fries!! Didn't have any lemon, so used lime instead (can't wait to try these with lemon!!) - and they turned out so tasty! Thanks SusieQusie!
These fries were easy and tasted great. I love garlic, but I think next time I'll just use garlic powder because the fresh garlic was just a little too strong. Thanks for posting!
I loved these!!! I was wondering if there would be enuff lemon flavoring with just the zest, and I was tempted to use some juice, but it wasn't needed!!!! LOVED it!

As Eugene Lyons1 so aptly stated in his article, One Trip to Russia Does not Make an Expert, the exposure of even a seasoned traveler from America to this land of mystery is generally sufficient to produce profound statements and specific conclusions on a variety of topics. As he observes, "On crossing the Soviet frontier, businessmen, clergymen, lady globetrotters seem to feel a self-imposed compulsion to judge the country. People who in any other country might be content just to see the sights immediately become sociologists, economists, and experts." Indeed, I must admit to having yielded to such a compulsion upon my return to America after my first trip to Russia, in the fall of 1959. That visit resulted from an invitation by several Soviet surgeons during their visit to New York in October of 1957. During that time, I was asked to help arrange their brief visit to

A test oracle provides a means for determining whether an implementation behaves according to its specification. A passive test oracle checks that the correct behaviour has been implemented, but does not implement the behaviour itself. In previous work, we have presented a method that allows us to derive passive C++ test oracles from formal specifications written in Object-Z. We describe the "Warlock" prototype tool that supports the method. Warlock is built on top of an existing Object-Z type checker and generates oracle code for a substantial subset of the Object-Z language. We describe the architecture of Warlock and its application to a number of Object-Z specifications. We also discuss its current limitations.

Worst Case Scenario: 7 Potential Consequences Of A U.S. Debt Default (SLV, GLD, TBT, TLT, UUP, SPY)
David Zeiler: Each day that passes without a deal to prevent a U.S. debt default brings the United States closer to a financial calamity that would be more severe than the failure of Lehman Brothers in 2008.
Dueling speeches from U.S. President Barack Obama and Speaker of the House John Boehner, R-OH, Monday night did nothing to resolve the impasse between Republicans and Democrats over how to reduce budget deficits and raise the debt ceiling past the $14.3 trillion limit by Aug. 2.
The contentious rhetoric of recent days has raised concerns that lawmakers will fail to reach a compromise by the deadline – with disastrous consequences.
"I've never, never seen a breakdown like this," Paul Light, a U.S. government scholar, told Reuters. "This is a defining moment in America's inability to act."
Should the deadlock over avoiding a U.S. debt default endure past Tuesday's deadline, it will trigger a financial crisis of vast proportions:
- Plummeting equities: When Lehman Brothers failed, the Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped 504 points in one day, and kept falling for months afterward. A default by the United States on its debt could hit even harder. Lance Roberts, CEO of Streettalk advisers, told The Fiscal Times that stocks could fall 50%. That would torpedo retirement accounts and hurt investors large and small.
- Missing payments: the government borrows about 40% of what it spends every day. If it can't borrow, then it will have to cut spending by 40% immediately – more than 10% of gross domestic product (GDP). That could mean missed payments to government contractors and recipients of government assistance. It may also mean that hundreds of thousands of federal workers will be furloughed without pay. In addition to the personal pain, billions of dollars in government spending will vanish from the economy.
- Interest rates: Credit rating agency Standard & Poor's already has warned of a 50% likelihood that it will downgrade the credit rating of the United States in the coming months – as much for its high debt levels as the possibility of default. If lawmakers allow a U.S. debt default, S&P says it will cut the country's credit from AAA to D. That would mean higher interest rates (and higher costs) not only for U.S. debt, but for all credit. Because other types of lending – including home loans, credit card rates and student loans – are based on U.S. Treasurys, the cost of borrowing would skyrocket for consumers and businesses alike.
- States and cities: Likewise, states and municipalities would face higher borrowing costs, since their rates, too, are tied to Treasurys. That will make all capital projects – roads, water systems, hospitals, schools – more expensive.
- Credit crunch: Higher borrowing costs and financial turmoil could lead to another credit crunch like the one we saw following the Lehman Brothers collapse. And that would further strangle the U.S. economic recovery.
- Bank crisis: A less obvious problem arising from a U.S. debt default would be how it affects large banks, which use Treasurys as collateral for their own borrowing. "What happens if treasuries as collateral aren't seen as the risk-free instruments they have been?" said Money Morning Contributing Editor Shah Gilani, who is worried about the impact of discounted Treasury holdings on the banks' leveraged positions. "Could an ugly round of global de-leveraging undermine investor confidence again and derail hoped-for economic growth?"
- Lower dollar: Already in a years-long slump, the dollar will sink even further against the world's other currencies. S&P has estimated a U.S. debt default could cause the dollar to drop 10% or more. A weaker dollar will make imports more costly, but that's not the worst of it. A default or credit downgrade could cause the dollar to lose its status as the world's reserve currency. And that would be very bad for the U.S. economy.
Combine all of the above and you can see how a U.S. debt default could implode an already shaky economy. Not only would the recession return with a vengeance, but the economy could sink even lower than it did in 2008-2009.
"It's conceivable the worst-case scenario is that the entire financial system of the world just freezes up, and it will make what happened with Lehman Brothers look much less by comparison,"Bruce Bartlett,a former Reagan White House policy adviser, told The Fiscal Times.

Hey all,
I'm building a custom menu for a site I'm developing which has 8 main sections/categories, each with several child/grandchild options.
I've got about three of them done without issue, but now when I add items it seems like WordPress won't let me change anymore- when I hit save menu the changes are gone and I'm stuck at the point where only those three sections are completed.
Is there a setting I need to check, or has anyone else had an issue like this?

AbstractHydrothermal vents emit large amounts of hot water, which has the potential to produce electric power. This type of power source can enable remote sea sensors, recharge autonomous underwater vehicles, and facilitate a variety of deep sea activities. Developing a power system for this application is challenging because the environment is extremely corrosive, mineral precipitation and biological activity can obstruct critical surfaces, and the system must operate reliably for long time periods without maintenance. In response, we are developing a turbo-Rankine power system that is optimized for hydrothermal vents. Our system consists of discrete components that are packaged to fit optimally within a simple containment structure and around adjacent features and subsystems. Continuous fluid flow within the system will communicate directly with the heat source and heat rejection environment, without intermediate flow loops or large thermal structures. Creare is well suited to succeed; we have a long history of developing advanced turbomachines, heat exchangers, and thermodynamic systems for challenging aerospace and terrestrial applications. During Phase I, we optimized design trades, completed a preliminary design, and tested a subscale version of the heat exchanger that will interact with the hydrothermal vent. During Phase II, we will fabricate and test prototype components.

Medicare Coverage of Inpatient Rehabilitation Stays
Medicare Part A will pay for most of the costs of your stay in an inpatient rehabilitation facility (IRF).
Medicare Part A covers most of the cost of care when you stay at an inpatient rehabilitation facility (sometimes called a rehabilitation hospital). Your doctor may send you to an inpatient rehabilitation facility if you are recovering from major surgery such as bilateral hip replacement or a serious injury or illness such as a stroke or spinal cord injury and you require a team of medical professionals and intensive therapy to help you recover.
What Is an Inpatient Rehabilitation Facility?
An inpatient rehab facility (IRF) is sometimes called an acute care rehabilitation center. An IRF can be a separate wing of a hospital or can be a stand-alone rehabilitation hospital. IRFs provide intensive, multi-disciplinary physical or occupational therapy under the supervision of a doctor as well as full-time skilled nursing care.
Skilled nursing facilities sometimes call themselves post-acute rehabilitation centers, but they are not IRFs. The rules for a Medicare-covered stay in a skilled nursing facility are very different; see our article on Medicare coverage for skilled nursing facilities.
Who Qualifies for Medicare Coverage of a Stay in an Inpatient Rehabilitation Facility
For Medicare to pay for your stay in an intensive inpatient rehabilitation center, your doctor must certify that you need:
- intensive physical or occupational rehabilitation (at least three hours per day, five days per week)
- at least one additional type of therapy, such as speech therapy, occupational therapy, or prosthetics/orthotics
- full-time access to a doctor with training in rehabilitation, including at least three visits per week, and
- full-time access to a skilled rehabilitation nurse.
Medicare cannot deny coverage because your condition is not expected to improve enough to enable you to return home or to your prior level of functioning.
If you don't need intensive rehabilitation, but you do need full-time nursing care, Medicare Part A could cover a stay in a skilled nursing facility instead. Or, if you don't need intensive rehab and you only need part-time nursing care, Medicare could cover home health care visits. For more information, see our articles on Medicare coverage of skilled nursing facilities and Medicare coverage of home health care.
How Much Medicare Pays for an Inpatient Rehabilitation Stay
Medicare Part A reimburses stays at an inpatient rehabilitation facility in the same way as it reimburses regular hospital stays; in other words, you will have the same out-of-pocket costs. Accordingly, Medicare pays only certain amounts of your stay at an IRF. For the first 60 days you are an inpatient in an IRF, Part A hospital insurance pays for everything. After your 60th day in an IRF, and through your 90th day, you must pay a daily co-pay $296 (in 2013).
If you are in an IRF more than 90 days (during one spell of illness), you can use up to 60 additional "lifetime reserve" days of coverage. During those days, you are responsible for a daily coinsurance payment of $592 per day, in 2013, and Medicare will pay the rest. You have only 60 reserve days to be used over your whole lifetime, for both hospital and IRF stays combined.
When You Must Pay the Medicare Part A Deductible
There is no requirement that you first stay in a regular hospital for a certain number of days (as with Medicare coverage of skilled nursing facilities), but if you don't, you will need to pay the Part A deductible of $1,184 (in 2013).
If you are transferred from an acute care hospital, the deductible you pay for the hospital stay counts for the rehabilitation stay as well.
What Medicare Covers During an IRF Stay
When you are admitted to an IRF, Medicare Part A hospital insurance will cover the following for a certain amount of time:
- a semiprivate room
- all meals
- regular nursing services
- social worker services
- drugs, medical supplies, and appliances furnished by the facility, such as casts, splints, wheelchair, and
- rehabilitation services, such as physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech pathology, provided while you are in the IRF.
What Medicare Does Not Cover During an IRF Stay
Medicare Part A hospital insurance does not cover:
- personal convenience items such as television, radio, or telephone
- private duty nurses, or
- a private room when not medically necessary.
What Constitutes an IRF vs. a Skilled Nursing Facility
Whether you are transferred to an IRF or a skilled nursing facility is an important distinction because Medicare covers a different number of days for an IRF than it does for skilled nursing, and you pay a different co-payment. In addition, Medicare compensates the facility differently. To be compensated by Medicare as an IRF, the facility must be approved by Medicare and at least 60% of cases an IRF admits have one or more of the following conditions:
- stroke
- traumatic brain injury
- a neurological disorder such as Parkinson's, MS, or muscular dystrophy
- spinal cord injury
- burns
- amputation
- major multiple traumas
- hip fracture
- knee or hip replacement for both legs, or when the patient's BMI is 50 or higher, or when the patient is age 85 or older
- congenital deformity, or
- arthritis that impairs one's ability to walk and take care of oneself and meets other criteria.

We stayed in a well appointed Studio Room (15) at Casa Anita for 7 weeks and enjoyed EVERYTHING about it. So much so, we have been missing Victoria, Kenna and Sacha, resident pets of which we became so fond! Sonia, Geraldo and Rogelio were a delight to interact with every day... always courteous, helpful and genuinely friendly. We appreciated the generous hospitality basket, the water & beer delivery to the room & the thorough cleaning of the room by Adele. The Wednesday BBQs with complimentary margaritas are such a great idea....Bill and Anita are great hosts and the event offers you an opportunity to meet your neighbours. We enjoyed the book exchange & appreciated the lightning quick service when a problem arose with the ceiling fan... it was fixed in less than 20 minutes! (no need for AC....the ocean breeze is so much nicer)
The views are spectacular....and the balcony was a perfect place for our daily breakfasts and lunches The new sliding doors were so soundproof that we did not have any problems with the road noise... you do get used to the daytime traffic noise after a few days....We enjoyed our well stocked kitchen ....The king sized bed was firm...and just as we like it! Nice to be able to use their washer/dryer instead of lugging it into town....
...and Sonia, thank you for coming to say goodbye when you were off-duty...we REALLY were touched by your thoughtfulness! We will visit again for many years to come :) See you soon!

YUM YUM! I used my hand mixer and made it as directed just subbing hot Hungarian paprika for the cayenne. Flavorful right away and great with crudites. Freddy Cat says thanks for the creamy flavorful delight! Made for the ZWT4.
I made this for ZWT4 Greece and even though I used only 4 oz of feta, it still kinda overpowered the rest of the dip. But after a few bites it does grow on you:) Ate with crackers. Thanks Sue!
This was a tasty way to use up some leftover odds and ends of feta and cream cheese. I used red pepper flakes rather than cayenne, and backed way off the garlic, to let the feta taste come through more clearly. We spread the dip on whole wheat tortillas, but I'm sure it would be nice with veggies, too.

Is there any way to exclude comment from comment list?
Mark it pending?
No the status should stay the same but the comments shouldn't be visible in comment comment list.
I have a comments rating system on my site and would like to show one most popular comment right bellow the post and than other ordinary comments. But I don't know how to exclude the comment from the list.
Can anyone help?
You'd first need to figure out a way of identifying most popular comment, using code, so that it can be displayed/skipped as appropriate. Then you'd need to write a custom comment callback in functions.php that can be called in comments.php using
<?php wp_list_comments('callback=my_custom_comments'); ?>.
The custom comment function could then list, or omit, comments based upon any conditional you care to use.

Pleasanton Property Has Garage Space and Land to Spare
Address: 4140 Foothill Rd., Pleasanton
Vital Statistics: An 8,590-square-foot home with five bedrooms, six full bathrooms and two half-bathrooms on approximately 77.5 acres. There is also a 4,000-square-foot-plus detached garage with a black-and-white checkerboard floor, as well as two other garages attached to the house.
Asking Price: $6.9 million
Previous Sale Price: Current owners Todd and Melodie Smathers bought the land in 1997. They don't remember what they paid for the land but estimate they put $6 million into the property and the construction of the house, which was completed in December 2000.
Notable: The Smatherses spent three years designing and building their home, which features heated limestone floors, a formal library and a rose garden off the master bedroom. A Silicon Valley executive, Mr. Smathers used to collect cars and paid special attention to the 10-car detached garage. He still races cars as a hobby but says he isn't acquiring any more vehicles, part of the reason he and his wife are ready to downsize. He says they will miss the views of Mount Diablo and the setting, noting that it is difficult to find "privacy without isolation."
Janet Cristiano of Better Homes and Garden Tri-Valley Realty has the listing and says the privacy and the location close to downtown Pleasanton are unique—it is about six minutes to the nearest Safeway. The property is currently the most expensive home listed in Pleasanton, where the median asking price was $525,000 from December 2011 to February 2012, down 22.4% from the previous year, according to real-estate website Trulia.

So I'm in the homewares store today looking for a power board as I always seem to run out of power points.
And while checking out (and wincing at the cost of the power board – must stop buying this stuff in normal malls) I noticed something I've never seen before.
It's a gadget that sits on your ear like a bluetooth microphone and tells you that you are falling asleep.
Apparently it's designed for driving so if you nod off while driving you will awake to "beep beep beep" and the view of your car sliding off into the bushes. It works by detecting the tilt of your head. I'm not too sure how effective this is though. What if you just close your eyes and sleep with your neck upright (or back a little)? And annoyingly, what if you want to look down at some point?
I used to get sleepy driving from KL to Singapore and would sometimes pull into a rest stop every 100km (and just sleep for 20-30 minutes in the car). Worked very well.
However, if it does work, I think it would be great for the jet-lagged too. Rather than beeping it can just give you a sharp pain in the ear or something. That would help enormously getting through conferences.
However, right now the problem is actually getting to sleep –and given it now feels like my sleeping tablets have actually kicked in, time to do it!

Running Time: 74
Director: Mitchell Spinelli
Company: Plum Productions
Cast: Nikki Sinn, Crystal Gold, Frank Towers, Rachel Love, Sahara Sands, Bridgette Monroe, Jonathan Morgan, Shelby Stevens, Jesse Lange
Critical Rating: AAA 1/2
Genre: Feature
Couple Crystal Gold and Jonathan Morgan swap sexual fantasies. Gold has Shelby Stevens and Nikki Sinn drive each other wild in a Sapphic steamer set back only by the stupidity of wearing high heels to bed. Morgan imagines himself being seduced by Jesse Lange. Gold envisions both Rachel Love eagerly scaling Frank Towers, and Bridgette Monroe being the oasis in Sahara Sand's desert, with repeated bouts of orgasmic ecstasy. Since Monroe's return from her early '90s hiatus, she has become quite deserving of star turns with her more outgoing, aggressive sexuality.
Morgan and Gold screw each other silly in a flaming finish. While Gold's acting is serviceable, the gentle musical ambience and hot action make this a worthy shelf stuffer.

cant save rows at table rate shipping anymore....is there an update?
There will be yes. Please post on support.woothemes.com for premium plugin support.
How can i retrieve the login details and password in WP ? Updates for WooThemes Plugin Updater as for unknown reason to me, do not have the right password or username!? And login is impossible, and can't see were i can retrieve the password or login details!And we have purchased few plug in,from Woo commerce.
Thanks in advance
You'll not be able to log in for Plugin Updater - its down. Took me several days to get an answer from Woo on why I couldn't log in to it, but they reckon they're doing some updates or something on it and they'll announce it to the 'woocommunity' when its back online. Pity they didn't announce to the woocommunity when it went down, eh?
Ahh, that will explain why I can't login! I've just installed WooCommerce & it wasn't letting me connect from my site.
Hoping that an update or something gets posted for this soon. I've just left a plugin with epicily bad user support... I've heard Woo is much much better!

Rated 3.2 out of 5 by 875 reviewers.
Rated 2 out of 5 by kerr5 needs improvement ive stayed at the W new york serval times and it was a wonderful experience. however, this last time ive stayed there it wasnt as Wonderful. the pictures shown on the website of the rooms didnt look like the room i booked. I had a view of a parking garage, and the room was much smaller then i thought it would have been after reviewing the rooms online. There wasnt an ice machine and it took a very long time to recieve buckets of ice. when i would call down to the front desk there werent as friendly as i orginally had rememebered. February 7, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Relaxed Great Associates The W New York makes you feel welcomed and appreicated for staying there. Each time you walk by an associate you feel like you belong. They go out of their way to assist you. Freddy, the bellman, was exceptional. He is very genuine. The location is great too, just minutes from everywhere but not in the hustle of things if you are looking for something a little more low key. Cabs are whistled down for you to alleviate your stress. The Acura program is so easy and convenient. Our driver, Ethan, was welcoming and engaged in conversation. We would stay there again and recommend to others. February 4, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by Tom2012 Great hotel though be careful with room 325 I often stay at the W Hotel. Great location for business and has a great gym. Normally no problems but I had room 325 which was terrible. Odd banging noises from the pipes (probably due to the heater system); room was often too cold or too hot; and I think the ventilation was connected to the kitchen as it often smelt of food cooking. Couple of small things: they forgot to give my complimentary water and internet access was very slow despite selecting the premium connection. February 4, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Catherine26 Great NYC hotel! It was my second time staying at this hotel and my stay exceeded my expectations again! Great location, great service, great rooms and a great vibe in the hotel! February 4, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by atxgal What's the point of having SPG Gold? This is was my first stay at a Starwood hotel since I was upgraded to SPG Gold and there was no difference in any benefit. The front desk (who weren't that friendly) didn't recognize or offer me any benefits as a Gold member. I had to later ask for complimentary wi-fi since they didn't offer any check-in gift. Also, I would've thought that as a Gold member that my room would have been in a better location - it was RIGHT IN FRONT of the elevator and all night long I heard people getting off/on. It was so irritating. I would have asked to change rooms but I couldn't be bothered since I was so tired and had to prepare for business meetings. Regarding the actual room, it was clean but the bathroom was slightly dusty and had loose hairs on the floor - yuck! The bed was too soft for my liking. All in all, I won't choose The W on Lex again unless I'm required to by my company. February 2, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Mwarnerllc The housekeeper The housekeeper was so polite and professional. He was the best. February 1, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by elly14 Very bad experience Hotel in poor condition. Worn-out. January 31, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Kathy03 Very LOW In Room Lighting/ Breakfast It would be very helpful to have at least 1 brighter light in the room. The lighting in the Bathroom is good for showering, etc, but for makeup application, brighter would be better. Having just 1 brighter light that could be turned on or off based on preference, maybe above floor length mirror would be extremely helpful. It was impossible to check your overall look in the low lighting. Great for atmosphere, but really one brighter light option would be GREAT. For breakfast, I usually have granola, low fat yogurt with a little fruit. I saw a similar option on the menu in the W Hotel restaurant, so I ordered the yogurt with granola and asked if I could add some berries as well. I was told by the server that to add berries would be a $10 charge. (Odd since the yogurt and granola was $11???). I said okay, and what I received was a tiny bowl with not even 1/2 cup of yogurt and a large bowl of granola and a large bowl of berries. I guess the assumption is that the guest wants dry granola? There was not really enough yogurt to even moisten the bowl of granola, and the bowl of berries was lovely, but complete overkill for my request. So much for Whatever/Whenever. But since that is your Mantra, it does seem that it should be considered when a guest request is made. January 30, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by jncamesano Stay 1/27 - 1/29 The heating/cooling system in the room was a bit loud and kept waking me up so I ended up turning if off during the evening. I also think that the lobby area needs updating. January 30, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by DMONTANA810 FQANTASTIC SUITE I BOOKED THROUGH STARWOODS I ASKED FOR A HIGH FLOOR I CHECKED IN AND WAS PUT ON THE THIRD FLOOR ASKED IF I COULD CHANGE MY FLOOR AND WAS TOLD IT WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE BED WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A QUEEN AND IT WAS A FULL. THE WINDOW FACE AN EYE LEVEL ALLEY . I STAY AT W ALL THE TIME AND I WAS NOT HAPPY WITH THIS ROOM January 29, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Brian32 Top Notch Service I travel for work, and as any of you "road warriors" know service at hotels can vary day to day, but not here, the team at the W is exceptional! Whether Morning or night I am always greeted with a smile and a hello this may be a small gesture to some but a warm welcome goes a long way after a long day of travel or work. One person in particular has stood out among the rest when it comes to exceptional service, Carmen who works at the front desk, has gone above and beyond in making the W New York feel like a home to me, and it practically is because I sleep there more than my actual apartment. From the first time I checked in she remembered my name, my room preferences, and has assisted me in various ways to make every stay a great one. In the competitive world or lodging, it is employees like this that keep loyal customers coming back again and again. January 29, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by michele Good location but dissappointing W experience The room&bathroom were very small, smelled and noisy heating system. Room service breakfast was skimpy. We will never stay at this location again. January 28, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by DanaM56 Cozy Room Best service, clean and comfortable room, secure, quiet, and within walking distance from Times Square, Rockefeller Center, and 5th Avenue. Very relaxing for a business trip. January 28, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by CarpeDiem13 Great Location..Very Modern and Beautiful Great Location...Great look...if you need a place in Midtown...def worth the price of admission. January 28, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by Anna Great look but horrible customer service from manager Sammy My experience was the worst experience ever at a hotel the treatment was unacceptable. The manager was rude and not accommodating at all being that my room was switched without notice. No apology or attempt to try to find something else for me and my guest. I did not appreciate the level of concern there was for our stay. Would never stay at this location again. January 27, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Davtre68 Great hotel It was my first time staying with this hotel and I loved it. Friendly staff. Great Service. January 27, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by biztraveler this hotel offers compact rooms there is not much open floor space in the rooms. the bathroom was tired looking and did not smell clean. towels were tattered. January 25, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by BizMom Rodents in the register I was up half the night listening to 'something' scramble back and forth in my room's heating ducts. I was too tired to contact the front desk overnight (and was confident that my roommate would stay in his room). When I checked out, I made the front desk aware and the response was that it must have been the heating system. I responded that if it was the heating system, it is very much broken. I was surprised at how this issue was brushed off! January 24, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by thecherub88 gold star! love everything about this place: location, the people (including staff), the rooms and much much more! my favorite w, without peers! January 23, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by maisie Great place to stay Other than a leak that occured, we were promptly attended to another room. We will be back we love the W!!! January 22, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by sara0114 Service Two associates really made our stay worth it. First Evelyn the conceriage was wonderful. I had been emailing here before my visit on restaurant suggestions and she was quick to respond and offered wonderful suggestions. Also Edna at the font desk went out of her way to make me feel special, wishing me a happy birthday, offering drink tickets to celebrate and upgrading us. She was lovely and very welcoming. Someone also sent a bottle of champagne and a birthday card, what a wonderful touch! However there were a few things that really took the experience back a few steps. Our room did not have an ipod dock, we called twice the first night of our visit and had to ask again on our 2nd day before it was finally sent up. Also had to call 3 times to get ice delivered to our room. January 22, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by SPW81 Great concierge service! We stayed at the W on Lexington Avenue for a 3 night stay in January. Overall we were very happy with the hotel, particularly the room size and general location. The service we received on arrival from the reception and door staff, and throughout our stay could be improved and wasn't particularly friendly or helpful. On the other hand the service we received from the concierge service was excellent on a number of occasions including some great restaurant & tour recommendations. The bar area service was very poor, but friendly and the seating could be better positioned in the main bar/lobby to cater for different group sizes i.e. couples. January 22, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by VanessaB Good location but terrible A/C It was 26 degrees outside but 80 degrees in my room. I adjusted the thermostat and it wasn't working. I was told someone would be in to fix the A/C problem (or lack thereof) but nobody ever came in. I couldn't even open the windows to help cool down the room. In this heat, it is difficult to sleep, do hair and apply make-up. I will never stay at this hotel ever again and will never recommend it to anyone. I travel a lot for work and never again. January 21, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by ILoveTacos This place sucks. As soon as I arrived to the hotel, the cab I had been in drove off without me getting my suitcase out of the trunk. I freaked out and alerted the people at the hotel, and they literally did nothing. The guy at the front desk didn't even react. It wasn't until 15 minutes later did someone at the hotel try and help me (his name was David, who was amazing). He wasn't even the one who was initially helping me. Besides that, I found the staff to be very unhelpful and the rooms to be uncomfortably small. January 21, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Garfield68 Great atmosphere Excellent combination of contemporary style and old architecture January 20, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by Jean9 This hotel is horrible.... This was not my first time staying at a W Hotel however this was by far the WORST experience. Being a NYer, I know how expensive real estate is but this was unacceptible. The room was called cozy but that was an understatment. It was the size of broom closet and worst of all not clean. There were holes in the sheets, remiments of the previous guest on the floor. Its disgusting how much you charge for a room of this caliber. I will NEVER stay or recommend this hotel again. January 20, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by esos4113 Wonderful Experience Great Night at the W! Thank you for an amazing time! January 20, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by jeffsd where to begin Besides the small size of the room, half the tv channels didn't work, the sink was plumbed backwards, the toilet was so close to the sink that I had to lean to sit on it. There was a hot water heater (I think) that made loud noises every half hour through the night and the HVAC system in the room was incredibly loud. Then, upon check out, they tried the old mystery mini bar expense trick. I love Starwood in general but the Midtown W is not worth it--especially for the shoebox rooms. January 18, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by BusMan1 not even a good hotel roon incrredibly small and dingy waited 15 min till operator decided to answer pho ne January 17, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by Powertorque Bad experience Checked in late at night. No soap in the room. Telephone cord not attached causing the charger to beep every 5 sec for no charge. Half-used toilet paper. Lot of noise from street. This is after being an SPG platinum. God knows what happens to people with no status. Filthy room and unclean carpets. Do not recommend this hotel at all. I am shocked it is a Starwoods property. January 15, 2013

New Toyota Cars
Toyota Canada
The Japanese Toyota brand has always been synonymous with quality and reliability. Covering just about every vehicle category in North America, Toyota offers a full range of cars, trucks, SUVs, crossovers, pickups and a minivan. The company also built a strong reputation of environmental friendliness, although it has been criticized in the last few years for the blandness of their products as well as the lack of true performance models.
It all started in the 1930s, when Kiichiro Toyoda decided to follow his passion for the automobile and create some of his own. His first car and pickup truck appeared in 1935, and the Toyota Motor Co. was officially founded in 1937.
The first Toyota arrived in the U.S. in 1957, but the brand's launch was a failure. The Toyopet Crown had a laughable name and was underpowered for the highways of America, so virtually nobody bought them. The Toyopet got the boot in 1960, to return only a few years later after a redesign. The smaller Tiara and Land Cruiser off-roader were still available in the U.S.
In 1965, Toyota presented the 2000GT sports car at the Tokyo Auto Show, a car that has become one of the most heralded models in the brand's history. It was produced from 1967 to 1970.
In the meantime, new models appeared such as the Crown, the Corona, the Corona Mark II and the Pickup, while production topped 1 million units for the first time in the brand's history. The Corolla was launched in North America in 1969, which went on to become the bestselling nameplate in automotive history. The Carina and Celica sports cars introduced in the '70s, while the Cressida replaced the Corona Mark II.
Toyota sales exploded in the 1980s as many new models were introduced and the brand was becoming renowned for its bulletproof products. Then came the Tercel and Starlet subcompacts, the rear-drive Corolla FX hatchback and sporty GT-S, the Van people-mover, the 4Runner sport-utility, the Supra and MR2 sports cars and the mid-size Camry (replacing the Corona).
The '90s also brought the Paseo subcompact coupe, the RAV4 compact sport-utility and the full-size T100 pickup, while the full-size Avalon replaced the Cressida, the Previa replaced the Van and the Sienna eventually replaced the Previa, while the compact Pickup was renamed Tacoma. A coupe version of the Camry called the Solara also appeared in 1999.
The Echo filled in for the Tercel in 2000, and a new milestone was achieved by Toyota in 2001 with the introduction of the Prius gas-electric hybrid. Also released were the Matrix compact hatchback, the Highlander crossover, the FJ Cruiser and Sequoia SUVs, the MR Spyder sports car, the Yaris (replacing the Echo), the Tundra (replacing the T100) and the Venza crossover. The 2007 calendar year was an absolute high for the company, with just under 9.5 million units produced.
Today, Toyota's line-up also consists of the subcompact Yaris hatchback and sedan, the compact Corolla and Matrix, the mid-size Camry and Camry Hybrid, the Prius, the full-size Avalon, the Sienna minivan, the Venza, Highlander and Highlander Hybrid crossovers, the RAV4, 4Runner, FJ Cruiser and Sequoia sport-utility vehicles as well as the Tacoma and Tundra pickup trucks.
