Rated 3 out of 5 by MEJ2014 Recent Trip The room was comfortable, but truly nothing special. The HVAC in the room kept cycling off when I was working at the desk because the motion detector wasn't detecting any motion. When the TV came on each time, it didn't show a display, only sound, requiring me to turn it on and off and then back on to get the display. A small point, but the clock in the room had the wrong time set on it and not just because of DST. The curved curtain rod in the shower was nice, but it prevented the door from fully opening, which meant either I stood to the side in order to urinate, or I had to close the door in order to stand directly in front of the commode. Life threatening? No, but an inconvenience at 2:00am. The breakfast buffet was nice, but there wasn't much variety as it was the same every day. In addition, I found a rather large hair in my scrambled eggs and when I told the gentlemen at the front, he minimalized it and passed it off as "things blow around." The folks at my table weren't very pleased with that response. Finally, the conference rooms were adequate, but the HVAC had a lot of difficulty maintaining the temperature in our room. Consequently it frequently cycled on and off; so it was either blowing cold air or it became stiflingly warm. Several in our group had to keep sweaters and jackets handy. Truly an annoyance.

Rated 3 out of 5 by angildna Very disappointed in quality I could feel the springs in the mattress all through the night. After driving into Dallas from Houston to get up and drive back the next day, I was expecting the Sheraton (especially at the 4-star price I paid) to be restful, relaxing and a nice respite from all the driving. When I brought it up to the person at checkout, all he offered was to cover my parking. The lack of caring and accommodation was very disappointing. I was very upset and will not likely stay at any Sheraton in the future. I'll take my money somewhere else. October 9, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by SalesGuru Above and Beyone I travel over 200 nights a year. SPG has always been my favorite because I use to get upgraded at least 50% of the time. Yes, I am or at least was spoiled. The last few years it seems like this rarely happens with Starwood anymore but I still like their hotels over the other chains. My recent stay at this Sheraton was my first and while the hotel itself was fine - sure the bathrooms are small but still quite acceptable - the staff here might just be the most impressive group I've ever dealt with. I can't imagine the crap these people deal with every day. But the staff here went out of their way to make my stay extremely memorable with an extra special thank you to Sandy for helping me out of a jam. I've never experience this level of service and genuine hospitality - and I emphasize genuine - at any price point, let alone at the value the Sheraton Dallas Hotel by the Galleria delivers. This is the first review I've ever written, on any site. But I felt compelled to express my sincere appreciation and recognition of exceptional service. Those in the hospitality sector probably don't hear it often enough but congratulations on a job well done! June 17, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by oneFrequentTraveler HORRIBLE HOTEL - AVOID Do not be deceived with the "newly renovated" claim. The rooms are still the same and the rudeness of the staff is still extremely obvious. Especially if you are unlucky to check-in in the morning. The evening shift leaves and the rude morning staff gets in and they are awful. Yes, they renovated the lobby and it's nice but it doesn't change how awful everything else is. AVOID!! There are other better hotels in the area. July 12, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by Mike90731 Needs work Never enough front desk staff. Anytime you called down - had to wait for 4-5 mins or call back. And yes had to call - issues with TV, AC noise. Great bed and people once you got them were fantastic. Just needs to staff Better. Also Breakfast is a bit bland / lacking October 31, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by GeorgiaJ Exceptional Staff The hotel's location to the Galleria is just across the road - great - 2 minute walk. The best thing about this hotel is the staff. They are so friendly and accommodating - they will go the extra mile to help you with anything. I wish all the hotels I stayed at had staff like this. They truely are wonderful!! April 3, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by BIKERBUD ONE OF THE BEST HOTELS IN DFW I have seen this hotel evolve and thrive. I have been using this hotel for years and have seen it transform into a very nice and comfortable modern property. This location is optimal for : Galleria shopping; dining in the restaurant row on Beltline; easy access to downtown via toll way; and I have even stayed here to use the airport. The demeanor of the staff just makes you feel that you belong there. I encourage everyone to give this hotel a shot. 635 freeway is almost finished but even at the peak of its construction, I had no trouble staying here. There's several surface roads one can take to get around. May 14, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by egrs2014 Fantastic staff & and lobby The staff was fantastic. They had a great attitude and were extremely responsive in their efforts to accommodate my needs and special circumstances. The front desk especially exceeded my expectations and would be the main reason I would stay at this hotel again. Also enjoyed the lobby. I felt it was an upgrade to most Sheraton hotels. The only negatives would be the club lounge (or essentailly a lack of), and the location of the pool which was a bit noisy. October 20, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by SabinoSam Great hotel experience Stayed in this hotel on visit to Dallas upon the death of my mother. Quiet, comfortable, warm, great staff. Only complaint is that the restaurant for dinner is in the same room as happy hour. Incredibly noisy so did not eat there. October 23, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Connie713 Great stay...great staff I had the pleasure of staying at the Sheraton Dallas Hotel by the Galleria in November, 2013 while in Dallas for business. I'm not a fan of chain hotels but this one was a most pleasant surprise. Thoroughly enjoyed my stay, largely because of the highly professional and friendly staff....everyone from the van drivers, to the front desk staff, from the lunch server to the restaurant managers. The appearance and cleanliness were top-notch and pleasant. I was trying to think of something to mention that would need improvement but I came up empty. I'd like to single out a few individual staffers who impressed me very much: Shunte (front desk agent), Ben (valet/van desk), and everyone in The Front Yard Restaurant (Pete Hernandez, Stephen Williams, Fernando, Valerie and Maribel). I usually make it a practice to avoid restaurants in hotels, but I'm glad I changed my mind this time. I would definitely choose to stay there again if in Dallas, and highly recommend it to anyone else. It always comes down to the staff! Connie W Kansas City, MO November 25, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by RogerD408 Nice Stay, but... Booked a point stay here early April, was told the only rooms available were double bed club level and 5500 points. Got to the property and asked about a king and there was one available but it wasn't club level. Asked for the 1500 extra points to be refunded and told that would be done. However, the 1500 points never got posted. Attempted to contact property using their email link posted on their web page and no response. Contacted SPG and they adjusted my account within minutes! Never any response from the property. Went up to the lounge for breakfast and no one was there. No sign or anything. Called the front desk and was told breakfast was in the restaurant downstairs along with all the soccer teams staying there. :( April 24, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Mia430 Exceeded My Expectations WOW!!!!!!!!!! I mean they really exceeded my expectations. Quick check-in, no waiting for my room to be ready.The room size was great, Nice and Clean. Plenty of towels. Shuttle service to and from the Galleria Mall. EXCELLENT breakfast buffet, free parking and internet for that weekend. 24 hour security. The staff Awesome. Best hotel bar I have been to in a long time. To me it was better than the Bar/s in Vegas. Can't wait to go back. August 5, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by JohnF Frog78 I stayed the night before they renovated, and it needed it. The lobby was really nice. They needed snacks in the club lounge, the breakfast buffet was good, a little under staffed. They should have spent some money on the elevators, a scary ride. The only thing I didn't like was the $10 parking fee. April 18, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Lanny17 Outstanding in all respects From the moment I walked through the door the staff was friendly, helpful and treated me like royalty. The room was spotless and well furnished. The breakfast was delicious and the waitstaff friendly and efficient. Would recommend to anyone looking for a top notch place in Dallas. December 22, 2012
Rated 1 out of 5 by Alm2012 Fees for parking and internet $10 fee a day for parking!!!!! thats unacceptable and another $12.95 for wi-fi internet a day. I will never comeback to this hotel. May 13, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Joe24 Great hotel for the price I travel every week and this hotel has a great staff, main level was recently renovated, and solid fitness center! March 27, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Brownchixs Great Staff I had a very good experience at this facility. The staff were very helpful and attentive to my needs. I will definitely stay here when I'm in Dallas again. October 8, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by PlatinumJames Second Chance I stayed here a few months ago and did not have a great experience. The manager reached out to me and apologized and asked if I would come back again. I didn't think I ever would but sometimes, just like people, hotels have bad days too. This time around I enjoyed my stay much more than the first time. There were still some issues but my main complaints were over the staff and their behavior last time. This time, however, the staff performed at a much higher level than before. Proper greetings, positive engagement, even when giving negative news they did it in such a manner that it didn't feel that way. A really great improvement. The hotel lobby and public areas are newly redone and are very fresh and modern. The rooms are very nice but the bathrooms are ridiculously small though. With out a major redo this hotel is just stuck with it's tiny bathrooms - the kind where you have to stratal the toilet to get out of the way of the door to close it. Is it fair to criticize a hotel for tiny bathrooms? Probably not, but the owners should think about a more extensive renovation next time to bring some luxury to the bathrooms. My room was on the top floor (club level) directly in front of the elevator. Not so great of a location. The drone of the elevator penthouse was constant and come morning the activity in front of the elevators was very noticeable. I have stayed here before and never had that problem, however, so I think it is exclusive to that room location. My platinum status brought me no upgrade. I have stayed at this hotel twice since it was remodeled and several times prior to that and have only been upgraded once. Until this visit and the one time I was upgraded to a junior suite, they never acknowledged my platinum status other than the paper jacket around my key card. This time he verbally acknowledged my platinum status and politely apologized that he could not upgrade me because they were very full, a true statement since there was only one spot left in parking lot upon my arrival. One of my pet peeves with this hotel is that it doesn't have many suites. It has 14 junior suites and one presidential suites, which they try and charge a laughable $800 a night for. It is only double the size of standard room (500 sq.ft. if that) and even when it is 11:00 PM at night and it is still listed on the website for sale, they will never put anyone in it as a platinum guest. I have to say, sans upgrades and room location, my stay here this time around was MUCH more enjoyable this time around. I will give it another stay in the near future. December 2, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by Unhappy234 Unsatisfactory I could have stayed at a better hotel for a lesser price. The parking is a hassle and the staff was not very accommodating. I will not be staying at the Sheraton again! October 7, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Kelly326 Great For Business Travel Very nice facilities. Guest check-in, lobby, business work stations and bar/restaurant look new, clean and modern. The guest room was large and comfortable. The work out facility (gym) had plenty of equipment and is open 24 hours. I chose this hotel because of the work out facility and was not disappointed. Be aware there is major road construction in the area and it can be difficult getting to the hotel. June 2, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Viking100 Excellent Staff We enjoyed our stay very much. Friendly staff, comfortable rooms... free parking, free internett and a complimentary crib for our toddler.. super service July 14, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by bsafe dissapointed in recent stay for frequent guest I stay at this Sheraton LBJ hotel about twice a month. Typically I LOVE this hotel but didn't have the best experience this time around due to the elevator issues which resulted in long waits and the fact that I didn't have very hot water in the a.m. due to a water main bursting, resulting in water having to be turned off in the evening. However, staff member Rachel was extrememely helpful and made it right for me by compensating me with starwood points as a result of these inconveniences. Therefore, I am going to chalk this up as a one time issue vs. a reoccuring happening. I look forward to my next visit a couple of weeks from now. -Brock July 12, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Phoenix13 Wonderful Service Our annual romantic vacation turned into a "stay-cation" after a series of unfortunate events. But nonetheless, I was looking forward to a great weekend. I was wrong: IT WAS A WONDERFUL WEEKEND! Upon checking in, I was promptly greeted by Edgar at the SPG designated check-in counter. Shaute assisted with the correction to the wireless internet charge upon checkout. GREAT SERVICE ALL AROUND! October 29, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by Tiff54 Double Charged for Room!!! my original reservation was for 3 nights, I called on the 2nd night and added 2 addtional nights. Once I checked out I reviewed my bank account and saw that I was not only charged for my 5 nights but an additional charge for 2 more nights. I called the hotel to have the charges investigated. I was advised that they showed me checked into rooms 707 & 705. Once it was confirmed that I was only in room 707, I was told the charge would be credited back to my account. I waited a week and still no refund. I called back to the hotel and spoke to Ben to check the status of my refund and he found no refund had been processed at all! So the original person I spoke to did nothing! Ben issued the refund and after over 2 weeks of waiting my account was finally refunded. The business practices of this hotel leave much to be desired. I will not be back, I don't think I can trust them with my bank account info again! January 30, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Emersonh3 A Pleasent Stay My week here was quite a wonderful time. The shining point is the staff and thier responsiveness and attention to detail. September 23, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by JSL28 Not what I hoped for Recently remodeled, clean room. Road construction in front of hotel made it difficult to travel to and from the hotel. Parking gate was not working properly. Had problems entering as soon as we checked in and then when leaving later on we could not get out. My husband had to park and go into the front desk 3 times before he was told to just press the "help button" and they would buzz the gate and let us out. The gates only worked twice the two days we were there. The second day we noticed they left both gates open all the time...problems? No charge for the parking thou.One elevator never worked while we were there. The first morning when leaving for the day 2 of the 3 elevators were not working. We took the stairs!One night when we arrived back (10pm)the lights in the lobby area were off...not sure why.The bathroom had no "Roll in shower". Tub/shower together. TINY bathroom, low ceilings. A/C fan rattled when running making to difficult to sleep. Breakfast was not included. This hotel is not a 4-star hotel. April 1, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by MPLSGUY Almost perfect This is a fine hotel with a great staff. The only complaint I have is the in room coffee. It's Maxwell house and not Starbucks as they have at every other Sheraton I visit. It may be minor to some but for me the in room coffee is something I enjoy. Bring back the Starbucks July 23, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by GATraveler Still in need of work Not what I expected for a newly renovated hotel. It's pretty obvious the lobby area was the focus for the improvements. This was my first stay at this hotel so I can't compare it to the pre-renovation status. The lobby is beautiful and I was told by a representative at the front desk the leather wall behind the check-in cost $20,000. I would have spent that money elsewhere. Most of the furniture in the room appeared to be new. The 2002 CD alarm clock could have stood an update. In the bath, the fixtures were worn and light fixture rusted so those must not have been included in the updates. The thermostat in my room kept going off and on and the toilet made a hissing noise all night. Getting into the club lounge (which I had to ask where it was because I wasn't told at check-in) required two trips back downstairs as my room key would not open the door. The second time I was given a separate card just for club access. Room service menu and service hours is limited. If you'll be arriving late, be sure to eat on your way to the hotel. May 9, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Christi608 Business trip with a vacation feel The staff was pleasant and genuine. The rooms were very clean and the bathroom was pleasantly clean. The pool was clean even though the weather was a bit chilly for us to take advantage of it. April 14, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Theresa31 Breakfast Buffet Awesome The breakfast buffet was well kept. The food was awesome and the staff was extremely nice. I came for work but will definitely come back for personal to this hotel. Great service! April 21, 2014

20 something allergies will offer rotation diet menu beginning in 2014.
Based on the overwhelming response to the posts on my family's personal meal plans and requests for help implementing a rotation diet, I am creating a program that offers you the ability to get started with a rotation diet that follows our healing protocol backed by thousands of hours of personal research.
These menu plans are allergy free, grain free, refined sugar free, nut/seed free, peanut free, and the only legume that will be included on occasion is the garbanzo bean. They are also very simple fare, easy on the tummy, and usually omit spices altogether for those sensitive to them.
The program includes weekly menu plans that rotate foods on a weekly basis instead of the standard 96 hours, shopping lists, easy substitutions for off limit foods, and recipes.
Rotation Diet Meal Plans
Until the program is live, feel free to use some of my family's past meal plans to get some meal and snack ideas. Please note that they did not always follow our ideal diet. They are, however, chock full of food to accommodate restrictions for 3 different people – 2 with food allergies and 1 with food allergies and diabetes.
If you are unfamiliar with rotation diets, start here:

You really feel rather have, this post is really efficient, make it possible for When i many userful stuff here expertise, and even website creation is excellent. Thank you on your revealing.
Admiring the dedication you put into your blog and detailed information you present. It's good to come across a blog every once in a while that isn't the same outdated rehashed material. Wonderful read! I've bookmarked your site and I'm including your RSS feeds to my Google account.
One thing is that if you are searching for a student loan you may find that you'll need a co-signer. There are many cases where this is correct because you should find that you do not employ a past credit score so the loan company will require that you have someone cosign the financing for you. Great post.
With havin so much written content do you ever run into any issues of plagorism or copyright infringement? My site has a lot of completely unique content I've either written myself or outsourced but it seems a lot of it is popping it up all over the web without my permission. Do you know any solutions to help reduce content from being ripped off? I'd definitely appreciate it.
Things you mentioned seems sensible. However, picture this, allow's verbalize you added a little bit more? I mean, I don't want to teach how you be able to write your site, however if you actually added something which can easily become peoples focus? just as a video clip or possibly a photo or even few to attain viewers psyched concerning what you mentioned.
I like your blog.. very good colors & theme. Did you design this internetsite your self or did you rent someone to do it for you? Plz reply as I am seeking to construct my very own weblog and would like to know where u bought this from. respect it
Greetings! I know this is kinda off topic but I was wondering which blog platform are you using for this site? I'm getting sick and tired of WordPress because I've had problems with hackers and I'm looking at alternatives for another platform. I would be awesome if you could point me in the direction of a good platform.
Heya i'm for the first time here. I came across this board and I find It really useful & it helped me out a lot. I hope to give something back and aid others like you aided me.
My spouse and i felt very cheerful Michael managed to complete his investigation because of the ideas he obtained from your weblog. It is now and again perplexing just to be freely giving key points that many others could have been trying to sell. And we remember we now have the website owner to give thanks to for this. Those explanations you made, the simple web site navigation, the relationships you help create – it's got mostly astounding, and it is leading our son and us reason why this concept is interesting, and that is wonderfully vital. Thanks for all the pieces!
Howdy would you mind sharing which blog platform you're working with? I'm looking to start my own blog soon but I'm having a tough time choosing between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal. The reason I ask is because your layout seems different then most blogs and I'm looking for something completely unique. P.S My apologies for being off-topic but I had to ask!
Howdy! This post couldn't be written any better! Reading through this post reminds me of my good old room mate! He always kept talking about this. I will forward this write-up to him. Pretty sure he will have a good read. Thank you for sharing!
I enjoy your writing style really enjoying this website. "I am certain of nothing but the holiness of the heart's affections, and the truth of imagination." by Jeseph Joubert.
It is the best time to make some plans for the longer term and it's time to be happy. I have read this put up and if I may I wish to counsel you some attention-grabbing issues or advice. Perhaps you can write subsequent articles relating to this article. I wish to read even more issues about it!

One important thing is that when you're searching for a education loan you may find that you'll need a co-signer. There are many situations where this is correct because you might discover that you do not have a past history of credit so the financial institution will require you have someone cosign the money for you. Good post.
Very interesting information!Perfect just what I was searching for! "Some people don't get it when I'm being sarcastic." by Leonardo DiCaprio.
Heya i am for the formerly phase on this juncture. I make keen on being this board and I get back It rightly of use & it helped me outdated a lot. I yearn for to inform a touch move backward and avoid others equal you helped me.
Youre so awesome, man! I cant believe I missed this blog for so long. Its just great stuff all round. Your design, man…too amazing! I cant wait to read what youve got next. I love everything that youre saying and want more, more, MORE! Keep this up, man! Its just too good.
Hi there would you mind sharing which blog platform you're working with? I'm planning to start my own blog in the near future but I'm having a difficult time making a decision between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal. The reason I ask is because your layout seems different then most blogs and I'm looking for something completely unique. P.S My apologies for being off-topic but I had to ask!
Howdy! Quick question that's entirely off topic. Do you know how to make your site mobile friendly? My website looks weird when viewing from my iphone4. I'm trying to find a theme or plugin that might be able to fix this problem. If you have any suggestions, please share. With thanks!
A dog wont forsake his master because of his poverty a son never deserts his mother for her homely appearance.
Thank you for the auspicious writeup. It in fact was a amusement account it. Look advanced to more added agreeable from you! By the way, how can we communicate?
Have you ever considered about including a little bit more than just your articles? I mean, what you say is fundamental and all. However think of if you added some great visuals or videos to give your posts more, "pop"! Your content is excellent but with pics and video clips, this website could certainly be one of the greatest in its field. Fantastic blog!
Hey. Same nice tangle site!! Man .. Beautiful .. Amazing .. I'll bookmark your blog and acquire the feeds also…I am happy to locate thus a large amount cooperative facts here in the post. Thankfulness for sharing.
This is a good posting, I was wondering if I could use this write-up on my website, I will link it back to your website though. If this is a problem please let me know and I will take it down right away
I must express my appreciation to the writer for rescuing me from this situation. Right after looking through the the web and coming across techniques which are not pleasant, I figured my life was done. Being alive without the approaches to the issues you have fixed all through the review is a critical case, and ones which might have in a wrong way affected my career if I hadn't discovered the blog. That knowledge and kindness in dealing with every part was helpful. I'm not sure what I would've done if I had not encountered such a thing like this. It's possible to now look forward to my future. Thanks for your time so much for your impressive and result oriented guide. I will not be reluctant to recommend your blog to any individual who ought to have support about this situation.
I think this web site has some really superb information for everyone. "It is easy enough to define what the Commonwealth is not. Indeed this is quite a popular pastime." by Elizabeth II.
The root of your writing whilst sounding agreeable originally, did not really sit perfectly with me personally after some time.

How much do you need to spend for an electric range that quickly brings water to a boil and simmers sauces superbly while its large oven turns out nicely browned cookies? If an electric coil top model is for you, figure on $430 or less. The Kenmore 90212, which was just added to Consumer Reports' list of top range picks, is the lowest-priced range in that select group and a fraction of the price of some smoothtop electric ranges with similar performance.

If you smell T-R-O-U-B-L-E on Sunday, be sure to follow the scent, because a great pot of chili is bound to be behind it.
Twenty-five amateur chili-cooking teams from around the region will converge on Classic Iron Motorcycles in Spotsylvania County on Saturday for the 2012 Chili Fest, sponsored by the Star Radio Group, which is owned by The Free Lance-Star Publishing Co.
The event will feature performances by country music star Travis Tritt (whose "T-R-O-U-B-L-E" was a hit in the early '90s), along with local artist Kevin Mac and Mike Corrado. Corrado is an active-duty Marine who has won national acclaim for his musical talents, and is known for his singles "Stand" and "On My Watch Tonight."
The festivities run from 11 a.m. until 6 p.m. Tickets are $20 in advance and $25 on the day of the event. They can be purchased at wfls.com, at The Free Lance-Star front office at 616 Amelia St. in Fredericksburg, or at the Spotsylvania Towne Centre customer service desk. Platinum seating costs $40, and kids 10 and under are admitted free if accompanied by adults with general admission tickets.
In addition to the chili and the concert, the event will feature a number of kids' activities, a car and bike show, a motorcycle stunt show, a Madden 2012 tournament, a Travis Tritt look-alike contest and more. The day is billed as "40 acres of family fun."
For the chili cookoff, cooking teams can cook in any style they like, and organizers say they've seen everything from vegetarian to wild game chilis in years past.
A slate of judges including Rep. Rob Wittman and other local officials will judge the entries and will award nearly $2,000 in prize money. Eventgoers can taste the entries from noon until supplies run out. Each team will cook 10 gallons.
For more information on the event, visit wfls.com.

Daric Barton Rumors
East Notes: Braves, Mets, Ellsbury, Yankees
Braves lefty Eric O'Flaherty has a torn UCL and will likely need surgery, David O'Brien of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports (on Twitter). GM Frank Wren tells O'Brien (also via Twitter) that the Braves are unlikely to make an immediate trade to replace O'Flaherty in the bullpen, noting that Wren doesn't expect other teams to trade top relievers this early in the season. Here are more notes from around the East divisions.
- The Mets have not yet discussed the possibility of acquiring first baseman Daric Barton, Joel Sherman of the New York Post says (on Twitter). Sherman writes (also via Twitter) that a Mets employee says the team will likely at least consider Barton, however. The Athletics designated Barton for assignment Saturday afternoon. Mets first baseman Ike Davis has struggled terribly this season, posting a line of .160/.245/.267.
- Red Sox outfielder Jacoby Ellsbury might be distracted by his impending free agency, Scott Lauber of the Boston Herald suggests. Lauber quotes Mike Napoli, who discusses how pressures from friends and family during a contract year can take a player out of his comfort zone. "I could see where guys, because of that free agent year, if you start off rough, it's like you want to do so good that you're overdoing it," Napoli says. Shane Victorino says that he hasn't noticed Ellsbury overburdening himself, however. Ellsbury is hitting .247/.312/.346 so far this year.
- Yankees owner Hal Steinbrenner says this season has been "amazing" so far, Andy McCullough of the Star Ledger reports. "I didn't but into the doomsday scenario that many people did. Because I knew that we had some good kids at Triple A. But more importantly, I knew that the guys we got in the offseason were veterans," Steinbrenner says. "[T]his is what you expect veterans to do." Newly-acquired veterans Vernon Wells, Travis Hafner and Lyle Overbay have played key roles in the Yankees' 27-16 start.
- Steinbrenner tells McCullough he won't address manager Joe Girardi's contract until after the season, but Mark Feinsand of the New York Daily News argues that Girardi deserves a new contract now, given his performance as the team has struggled with injuries.

Athletics Designate Daric Barton For Assignment
The Athletics have designated first baseman Daric Barton for assignment, the team reports (on Twitter). The move clears roster space for outfielder Chris Young, who had been on the disabled list. Young's return allows the Athletics to move Brandon Moss from the outfield back to first base.
The A's had previously designated Barton for assignment in late March, but he cleared waivers and stayed in the organization, then made his way back to the 40-man roster when the A's purchased his contract March 8. He has received 21 at bats with the A's since then, hitting .143/.217/.286. Barton has hit .248/.359/.370 in his career.

Orioles Claim Josh Stinson; A's Outright Barton
The Orioles claimed righty Josh Stinson off waivers today, according to an Athletics press release. The Orioles transferred Tsuyoshi Wada to the 60-day DL to make room on the 40-man roster for Stinson. The A's also noted that first baseman Daric Barton cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A.
The A's had claimed Stinson off waivers from the Brewers last week, but designated him for assignment yesterday upon their claim of Will Harris from the Rockies. Stinson, 25, appeared briefly in the Majors last year. He posted a 3.16 ERA, 5.6 K/9, 4.4 BB/9, and 0.43 HR/9 in 145 1/3 Triple-A innings. The former Mets draft pick will work out of the rotation at Triple-A Norfolk.
Barton, 27, was a first-round pick of the Cardinals in 2003. He did his thing at Triple-A last year, hitting .255/.411/.425 in 336 plate appearances. Barton led the American League with 110 walks in 2010, but a shoulder injury has affected him since.

A's Claim Otero, Designate Barton, Blackley
The Athletics have claimed pitcher Danny Otero from the Yankees and designated first baseman Daric Barton and pitcher Travis Blackley for assignment, according to a team news release. Earlier in the day, the A's also claimed pitcher Josh Stinson from the Brewers.
Barton has collected 1,583 major-league at bats, all with the A's, hitting .249/.360/.371. He hit .204/.338/.292 in part-time duty in 2012. Blackley pitched in 102 2/3 innings with the A's in 2012, posting a 3.86 ERA with 6.0 K/9 and 2.6 BB/9.

Quick Hits: Braves, Red Sox, Barton
We can expect Mike Trout, Bryce Harper and Clayton Kershaw to be among the game's best players in 2018, Dan Szymborski of ESPN Insider writes. Szymborski's 30-player list includes many established MLB stars and some minor leaguers who have yet to make an impact at the highest level. Here are some more links for Thursday afternoon…
- Scouts say the Braves are looking for a left-handed hitting bench player, ESPN.com's Buster Olney reports (on Twitter). The left-handed hitting Jordan Schafer and the switch-hitting Ramiro Pena are internal candidates to make the Braves as bench players.
- Red Sox manager John Farrell said no third base additions are "being contemplated or imminent," Brian MacPherson of the Providence Journal reports (on Twitter). Rob Bradford of WEEI.com reported this morning that there's a belief free agent third baseman Scott Rolen would be interested in talking to the Red Sox.
- Athletics first baseman Daric Barton didn't expect that Oakland would want him back this offseason, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle writes. Barton, who hit just .204/.338/.292 in 46 games last season, re-signed with the A's on a non-guaranteed $1.1MM deal.

AL West Notes: Barton, Angels, Wilhelmsen
Happy birthday to Rangers manager Ron Washington, who turns 59 years old today. Let's celebrate by taking a look at some items from Washington's division…
- Daric Barton admits that he has been thinking about his multiyear contract negotiations with the Athletics, reports Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle. "It's always in the back of your mind," Barton said. "It's not something you like to think about, but realistically, it happens." We heard about these negotiations last month, with MLBTR's Tim Dierkes noting that Barton's walk-heavy production could make him a bargain for the A's if they choose to go to arbitration with the first baseman.
- The Angels are integrating young players into their lineup while still remaining competitive in the AL West, writes Mark Saxon of ESPNLosAngeles.com.
- Mike Trout is having a nice season at Double-A Arkansas, but ESPN.com's Jason A. Churchill predicts Trout will only reach the majors in 2011 if the Angels want to give him a few token at-bats in September. Churchill speculates that Trout might skip Triple-A altogether and potentially make the Angels out of Spring Training next year, or at least be in the majors by May 2012 (or after next year's Super Two cutoff date).
- Jeff Passan of Yahoo Sports profiles Mariners right-hander Tom Wilhelmsen, who made his improbable Major League debut this season after spending five years away from the sport.

A's Could Extend Daric Barton
"It's a good bet" that A's pitcher Trevor Cahill "will be signed through at least his arbitration years soon," according to Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle. What's more, first baseman Daric Barton "is a strong possibility" to be signed through at least his arbitration years as well. MLBTR's Luke Adams looked at the Cahill possibility last September, so let's focus on Barton.
Barton, 25, hit .273/.393/.405 in 686 plate appearances last year, leading the American League with 110 walks. The A's also consider Barton's defense and durability to be positives, according to Slusser. The first baseman did deal with a few injuries in 2009, and also spent a good portion of the season in the minors due to Jason Giambi's presence. He'll be arbitration eligible for the first time after the 2011 season.
Barton is a very unique first baseman, and new agent Dan Lozano would have a hard time getting him properly compensated through the arbitration system. Barton's value is tied to his OBP and defense; he only has 26 home runs and 136 RBI in 1,485 career plate appearances. How unique is it for someone to play 150 games at first base and post an OBP of at least .390 with a SLG under .410, as Barton did last year? According to the Baseball-Reference play index, the only other player to do it in the last 30 years was Mike Hargrove for the Indians in 1980.
If my theory that a player like Barton would be a bargain in arbitration is correct, the A's should only extend him if they're getting a big discount or control of free agent years. From Lozano's point of view a great comparable would be Billy Butler, who is a also a little short on power but still signed for $30MM over four years ($19MM for his three arbitration years, $8MM for one free agent season, and a club option for a second). The A's might argue that Barton better resembles a healthier Nick Johnson, though Johnson's three-year extension came at a much different point in his career. Both Butler and Johnson, though, have at least flashed 20 home run power in their careers.

Quick Hits: Davis, Barton, Cole, Slowey
Links from around the majors, as Manny Ramirez takes on one of his former teams and the regular season draws one day closer…
- Doug Davis, who will throw for teams in Arizona on Thursday, is "getting a lot of interest," agent Steve Canter told Anthony Castrovince of MLB.com. Canter declined to list interested teams, but GM Doug Melvin says we shouldn't expect a reunion with the Brewers.
- Daric Barton switched agents to Dan Lozano, according to ESPN.com's Keith Law (on Twitter). Brian Wilson, Kurt Suzuki, Brett Wallace and Jason Repko recently did the same. To keep up to date on each agency's client list, check out our new Agency Database.
- UCLA right-hander Gerrit Cole sits atop Law's revised list of top 2011 draft prospects. For more on Cole and other top draft eligible amateurs, check out our Draft Prospect Q&A series.
- Dave Cameron of FanGraphs is surprised that more teams aren't interested in Kevin Slowey, who has proven himself as a back-of-the-rotation starter.

Stay up-to-date with KAKE News:
Wednesday, May 22, 2013
In today's Money Matters, whether you are about to enroll in a 401(k) or already are participating in your employer's plan, here are seven things you should do right away:
1. Figure out your retirement date and how much money you should aim to save. At what age do you plan to retire and how much money are you going to need to live on after that? Use online calculators or work with a financial adviser to do the math, but realize the answer you get may not be set in stone because you're likely to experience many changes between now and when you retire — unexpected windfalls, unforeseen expenses, changing retirement dreams, new health concerns, shifts in income and more. Even so, you need to know where you're aiming. In fact, it's foolish to undertake any long-term project without some idea of your desired outcome and saving for retirement is no different.
2. Set a monthly household budget. Don't just pick an arbitrary amount to contribute to your 401(k) account. If you go with the default automatic enrollment percentage or the amount needed to get the full employer match — if that's a benefit your employer offers — you're still probably not contributing enough to get you where you want to go. Instead, decide how much you can afford to contribute, and the best way to do that is by setting a monthly budget. Make retirement savings a high priority within your budget, even if you're young. It may seem difficult to forgo entertainment and shopping, but those are areas that can be easily trimmed.
3. Set an annual calendar reminder to reassess your contribution level; try to increase it every year. If you're going to accumulate enough money to fund most or all of your retirement, you'll likely need to be putting at least 10-15 percent of your salary into your 401(k) account. You never want to pass up your employer match, but don't stop there. Do what you can to increase your contributions each year, even just a little bit. By far, the most impactful thing you can do when planning for retirement is to save — and then to save some more.
4. Determine the most appropriate mix of investment types for you. Diversifying your account among different fund types can help protect your investments from volatility. Figure out your tolerance for risk and create a mix of investment types that fits your timeline to retirement, retirement goals and risk tolerance. Don't follow the advice of your neighbor, brother-in-law or coworker. Everyone's allocation should be highly personalized and what's appropriate for them may not be appropriate for you.
5. Research the funds in your plan to figure out which will allow you to optimize your personal asset class allocation. Armed with your ideal mix of investment types, research and analyze the funds available to you within your 401(k) plan. Look at fund manager history and longevity, fund long-term and short-term performance relative to peers, the fund's Morningstar rating, how well a fund stays true to its plan documents and how volatile it's been through market instability.
6. Set calendar reminders to rebalance quarterly or biannually. You worked to create an appropriate mix of investments, and now you've got to keep it. As market changes favor one fund type or another, you'll gradually drift away from your original allocation and your account becomes unbalanced. So, a few times per year, you have to put it back in order.
7. Start another savings account so you're never tempted to dip into your 401(k). Down the line, you may want to "just borrow a little' from your 401(k) savings. Doing so could bring about several negative consequences, including penalties and taxes. And you're shooting yourself in the foot twice — losing the money you've withdrawn and losing the returns you will no longer be getting. It pays to build a separate "rainy day" account instead.

November 26, 2014
LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Paul Abdul is back in the judge's seat -- but not on the "American Idol" stage.
Abdul cameos in Lifetime's "Drop Dead Diva" as a gavel-banging, glammed-up version of herself in a dream sequence set in a courtroom. In the over-the-top scene, the former "Idol" judge dispenses oh-so-fabulous justice in a vocal and fashion critique to Jane (played by Brooke Elliott), a plus-size lawyer possessed by a skinny model.
At one point in her scene from the Sept. 20 episode, "Judge Paula" rises from the bench to reveal her "belted and bedazzled" ensemble -- a chunky belt and glittery skirt below a flowing top crafted from a black judge robe. Abdul appears in Jane's dream to motive her to sue a clothing retailer that only sells small dresses.

Banned Books Week: Your banned-kids'-book reading list (updated)
It's Banned Books Week, celebrating books that are absolutely, objectively horrible and mustn't be read by anyone. They're books that need to be blocked from school libraries, ejected from public libraries, struck from publisher's lists and set on damn fire every time they're encountered. Which means that most of them (although by no means all of them) are worth reading, particularly when it comes to books for school-age kids who shan't be exposed to naughty language or mentions of sex. Because if there's one thing that abstinence-only education has taught us is that if you never, ever mention it, kids will never do it.
