Not a bad versionUser Review - MMFH - Christianbook.com
I think it's good for the Bible to be in todays English. Some might use "what God meant to say" but the relevant wording proves other wise. Would I recommend this to others? Sure. Read full review

Concord High gun threat a hoax
The teen was arrested off school grounds, police said, but not before the school was evacuated and surrounded by a massive law enforcement presence - including more than 30 police cruisers and a special operations armored vehicle.
About 50 people were inside the building taking adult music classes and a college culinary class, Assistant Principal Steve Rothenberg said. There were also some students filming a movie, he said; some wore makeup, including fake blood.
There were no injuries in the incident, Rothenberg and police said.
"What we can tell you is that everybody is safe," Rothenberg said about 10 p.m.
The 18-year-old was charged with criminal threatening with a dangerous weapon, a class B felony. Police would not say if a weapon was recovered.

It's here!!! The show that everyone has been waiting for - MAKEOVER WEEK!! There is always something special about makeover week. I have used the analogy over and over again that when we first went onto the show we were broken down buildings. Over time, we have torn our building down, poured a new, stronger foundation, and started work from the ground up. Even more special, this season we will be sent home and our makeover reveal will be with our family and loved ones. It doesn't get much better than this.

She's not just an overnight princess, she's an overnight success! The new Disney Channel fairytale series Sofia the First, about a simple village girl whose mom marries the king, will premiere Friday morning (9:30am/8:30c) to great expectations.

The pilot movie, Sofia the First: Once Upon a Princess, drew 5.2 million viewers in its November premiere and was the highest-rated program for children ages 2-5 in the last five years.

A driver was lucky to escape a fiery crash south of Crescent, Iowa Saturday morning.
Pottawattamie County Sheriff's Department deputies said the driver lost control of his car as he was heading northbound on Old Lincoln Highway just after 4 a.m. The vehicle went off the pavement near Lapworth Road, crashed into an embankment, spun around and landed in a drainage ditch. The driver managed to crawl from the wreck and go to nearby house for help. He did not request medical attention.
The car caught fire and was destroyed by the time rescue crews reached the scene.

Mother refused to pick child up from school
Police said that a Charlotte, North Carolina mother refused to pick up her 5-year-old daughter from school.
Apparently the little girl came to Hickory Grove Elementary on Monday, but no one came to pick her up.
Police said school officials called the girl's mother, but her mother refused to come get her.
People who live near the school said they feel for the child.
Steven Oliver said, "Oh, wow. The kid is probably confused, you know, and doesn't understand, and [must] feel abandonment."
Police said almost three hours went by. By 7:30 p.m., they had gotten the Department of Social Services involved and said they were afraid the 5-year-old could have been in "extreme danger."
The child was taken into DSS custody. Police have not charged the girl's mother.
It is unclear why the mother refused to pick up the child, but it was speculated that drugs or alcohol was involved.

Sky Ice: good Thai food (and ice cream) in Brooklyn--can it be??
Stopped by Sky Ice last night after I read that this new little place on Fifth Ave in Park Slope was run by Thais from Chiang Mai. I was after their khao soi, curried noodles. I had a lovely conversation with the owner and also was persuaded to try their Thai iced tea ice cream, which was phenomenally delicious.
But I'm not a sweet person, I'm a savoury person. So on to the noodles. I am hugely picky about my NY Thai food after years in SE Asia (I don't even like Sripaphai much). OK, these noodles weren't exactly what you'd get in Chiang Mai. But for NY--and especially for Brooklyn--they were more than good. The owner says she brings in the curry paste specially from Thailand, and you can taste it. I asked for extra chili sauce and it ended up being a great balance of flavours and spice.
They have a (very) few other savoury dishes and will likely expand if business takes off. Go and try it!
63 5th Ave, Brooklyn, NY 11217
bumping up... they have more savoury dishes as specials on weekends (on Sunday they had massaman curry with roti; summer rolls with tamarind sauce; and some kind of salmon dish).
Oh, I wish I saw this post before I ordered dinner from Song. Decided to try it again, asking for it super super spicy. The spice level wasn't really a problem, but the food was. I love khao soi and look forward to trying their version.
Ordered some delivery of the khao soi and noodles in green curry. They did the correct thing and packaged the noodles and soup separately so the noodles wouldn't get soggy. For the khao soi, they also packaged the pickled veggies separately as well. For Brooklyn, the khao soi is indeed a respectable version. But there were no crispy noodles! Either their version doesn't have the crispy noodles or they forgot to put it in. The curry was good (maybe a tiny bit too sweet for my taste). But the green curry was way too sweet. I'm hoping they can dial down the sugar in that one. However it did have a nice kick.
I hope they expand the menu to include more savory items.
re: Miss Needle
Is khao soi really uncommon in New York? It isn't something I really crave, but the way you two write about it makes it sound like it's not easy to get. However, I don't like it too sweet and it must have crispy noodles!
(I mean, I've had it without before so I don't think it's absence indicates a mistake, I just prefer it).
I love this place. Really good ice cream with interesting, unique, flavors.
Also, it's the only place that I've ever seen carb free pad thai. They make the noodles out of papaya instead of using rice noodles. As a general rule, I have no problem with carbs, but this sounded really interesting. It didn't really taste like pad thai, but I enjoyed it a lot more than most pad thai.
Yes it can be. We loved the ices (I had lychee/rose) and enjoyed the Thai food. I'm not an expert, but we found the savory dishes to be a little lighter than we are typically used to. A nice change of pace. And the owners are really nice, and their little girl (maybe 3) running around is adorable. Family run and the kind of place I root for.
re: SpiceJunkies
Its a charming, charming place and I think their food has promise but the curries, especially the khao soi are MUCH TOO SWEET. Also, I find the practice of just dumping the bland, unseasoned meat into the curry sauce at the end to be a poor one. Khao soi in a real chicken curry (like at Sripraphai) is a completely different dish from curry gravy with pieces of chicken breast or tofu dumped in at the end - it simply doesnt have time to pick up any flavor from the sauce..
I am sick of this wimpy style of cooking thai food. These folks could do better, how to get them - or any of the others - to do it?
presentation is very nice, roti was too greasy, dont know wjy, papaya salad excellent.
63 5th Ave, Brooklyn, NY 11217
A friend raved about this place so we ordered takeout about 9PM on a Friday. It was terrible. Just went with the masaman curry and drunken noodles. Soaked in sweet sauce, bland, soggy etc. Normally I give a place a second chance but I'd be mad at myself if I wasted more money here. Based on these reviews, maybe I just came at the worst possible time.
63 5th Ave, Brooklyn, NY 11217
Since most of these replies focus on the food (which I haven't had), let me just put in a SERIOUS plug for the ice creams and ices, which are exceptional both for flavor and texture. Really really special. Most recently, had the mangosteen sorbet. SUperb.
I'll put in another word for the sweet/savory divide at Sky Ice -- that is, sweet is worth the trip and savory is often regrettable.
The savory dishes are much more often misses than hits, but ordering strictly vegetarian tends to help. Their veggies are mostly fresh and well prepared, though tofu tends to be clunky and eggplant is bland. I think the focus on healthy preparation definitely hurts as a constraint -- though the "non-fried fried rice" is quite excellent once you take it home and fry it :) I'll be making return visits in hopes that the daily specials are better.
As for sweets, I haven't tried the full run of the menu, but every ice cream I've tasted has been outstanding. Black sesame seaweed is a knockout combination, perfectly executed. Thai Tea is excellent, and Honey Ginger is an incredible blend of sweet honey, milky cream, and a no-punches-pulled ginger burn. It's worth the price tag, and keeps me coming back to try the next most interesting flavor.

"Super quick delivery (days earlier than expected!). Quick and easy design template. I used the pearl paper and am so glad I did. It added a little extra shine to the gold style design. The weight of the paper was perfect for my son's birth announcement!"
"I was very happy with the quality of the product, i got what i paid for! The only disappointment was it wasn't delivered within the estimated delivery date!"
"We used these announcements as our annual Christmas card this year and they are absolutely beautiful. We printed them on the white shimmer card stock and it gave them the special added touch we were looking for. The quality was impeccable and they were printed and shipped within days of placing our order. We couldn't be happier!"
"This is the most unique card with beautiful colors! We used the card for our second son's birth announcement and received so many compliments! This is my second time ordering from tiny prints and I will continue to do so. The cards are such great quality!"
"I loved the colors used and the modern design. The paper quality was nice--I did get the double thickness which had a very substantive weight, but I think the standard thickness would have been great as well."

David Toscana's The Last Reader stands as a challenge for the most dedicated readers. On the upside, it's a challenge worth taking. Toscana's novella vaguely imitates a murder mystery, but the real focus lies in blurring the lines between active reading and authorship, and more generally between reality and fiction.
The Last Reader is set in Icamole, a small impoverished village in Mexico, in the middle of a yearlong drought. Wealthy Remigio takes pride (and showers) in water that lines the bottom of his well, until the day he finds the water obstructed by a teenage girl's corpse. Remigio goes to his father, Lucio, for advice, and here we meet the titular character. Lucio is Icamole's last and only reader. When Remigio presents the problem of the corpse, Lucio reacts with the bibliophile's instinct—he looks to his library. He zeroes in on a French novel, The Death of Babette, whose heroine's physical description matches that of the corpse. Lucio names the corpse Babette, and suggests Remigio bury Babette in his garden, like the killer in The Apple Tree.
With this premise, Toscana's scheme is set in motion. Lucio, the esoteric, lovably bookish father, quickly wins our hearts. (By contrast, Remigio, selfish with his water and wary of Lucio's advice, seems a bit more questionable.) It's fun to read about how Lucio organizes the abandoned library with great dedication and verve. Books he likes find a place on the library shelves, but any book he deigns trite (including the amusingly obvious anti-racism manifesto The Color of Heaven) or otherwise lacking gets marked "Withdrawn" and thrown into a cockroach-infested "book hell" with other rejected titles. As he works, Lucio offers the reader tips to quickly evaluate book quality. For example, he claims the ending of a book (though not the beginning) is an effective measurement of overall quality.
With such qualifications about good and bad novels, Toscana sets up a high standard for his own novel, and yet he does not disappoint. Toscana's cleverly created characters, one bound to please and the other to disappoint, ultimately challenge the reader's surface-level assumptions. Also challenging is Toscana's stream-of-consciousness prose, translated by Asa Zatz. The novel does not employ quotation marks to distinguish between dialogue and the other text. This forces readers to tread carefully, especially when Lucio offers everyone direct quotes from his favorite books. As with many of the challenges and frustrations in Toscana's book, this device serves a bigger purpose, eliminating the distance between Lucio's total obsession with the fictional world and the readers' own blind acceptance of Toscana's words.
Thus, Toscana's challenges to the reader are far more purposeful than arbitrary, and the result is that the clever little book (some will argue too clever for its own good) has won numerous awards, most prestigiously being shortlisted for the Rómulo Gallegos International Novel Prize. And the journey to the novel's astounding conclusion, if rigorous, is hardly painful. Toscana's rambling, and at times distancing, prose occasionally tips toward the luscious:
There is nothing like the smoothness of [Remigio's] avocadoes, for which reason, on some nights he throws a few in the bed and stretches out with them. He offers them caresses, flattery. They are lovers with supple hands and noticeable breasts, disposable lovers, no name, no obligations, and no future, because they wake up squashed on the sheets after having sacrificed everything for love. The avocado was the fruit of temptation, without a doubt, although people liked to believe it was the apple, an inept whore with a smooth skin but a rigid body, sticky, no discretion in biting, which gets old all at once and consorts with flies and other insects. He knows that his girl is better off [buried] under the avocado tree.
If Lucio occasionally gets lost in his favorite prose, well, perhaps we cannot blame him. But this is entirely Toscana's point: he has crafted a novel specially for bibliophiles, a novel that highlights the perils, perversions, and joys of losing oneself in a fantastic book.
Antoine Volodine's vast project (40 plus novels) of what he calls the post-exotic remains mostly untranslated, so for many of us, understanding it remains touched with mystery, whispers from those "who know," and guesswork. That's not to say that, were. . .

UVM makes list of 'Top 20 party schools in the US'August 05,2013By RYAN J. FOLEY
The Associated Press
IOWA CITY, Iowa — College students consider the University of Iowa the nation's best party school, even though Iowa City has tried to make its famous bar scene less hospitable to underage drinkers.
The Princeton Review bestowed Iowa with the top ranking Monday on a list determined by 126,000 students in a nationwide survey. Rounding out the Top 5 are: University of California, Santa Barbara; the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign; West Virginia University and Syracuse University.
The organization also released its "stone-cold sober schools" list — led again this year by Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah; and followed by Wheaton College in Wheaton, Ill.
The rankings are based on surveys in which an average of 333 students per campus are asked 80 questions about a range of subjects in the last three school years. Its methodology uses a five-point scale, allowing for school-to-school comparisons.

Rated 3.3 out of 5 by 827 reviewers.
Rated 3 out of 5 by LilyPoppy Housekeeping issues but excellent staff responsiveness Stayed for an extended weekend and will stay here again next time iI visit Philly. First room assigned smelled like vomit and had an air purifier going on (not very effective I must say). Second room assigned was a smoking one (when we pointedly asked for a non-smoking). Third room smelled nice and fresh. One of the beds was missing the thin comforter, there were no hand towels and the bathroom floor had some sticky dark stuff all over. Nevertheless the response of the guest services staff was excellent in dealing with the issues, so I'll definetely stay here again August 19, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by miamiskyboy Great Location - Run Down Property The Good: This hotel is in a nice location. I stayed here for new years & it was convenient to most major attractions, restaurants & shopping in center city. The hotel offers a self parking option that was somewhat reasonable at $38 a day. While this might sounds expensive to some. It is somewhat reasonable for a hotel in Philadelphia. It allows for in/out privileges. The hotel has a large & open lobby that looks a bit dated, but was clean & welcoming. There was security standing at the entrance monitoring all who came in/out of the hotel. They did a great job at recognizing me as an elite member of the SPG program. Upon entering & identifying myself, I was whisked away to the SPG line where there was no waiting. I was made to feel like a VIP. They used the correct branded spg key holder that corresponded to my level, offered a goodie bag with snacks & Philadelphia's own Tasteykakes & breakfast voucher because the club lounge was undergoing repairs. The Bad: The hotel looks rundown. The elevator from the parking lot to the lobby was incredibly dirty. So was the elevator landing in the parking lot. Such a large hotel like this one. How could they not want to spend the money (minimal) to pressure clean that elevator landing on the P1 P2 floors, update the signage & clean those elevators. It is after-all the first impression a guest gets of the property. Once I saw the dirty entrance & that filthy elevator. I knew that the hotel was not going to be all that great & I was right. The hotel allows vendors to deliver to the guests rooms. So the hallways were full of Chinese, pizza & other delivery agents roaming the hallways. This should not be allowed for security purposes as well as customer service. These vendors are not only loud in the hallways, but they leave the menus underneath the doors & it looks awful & gives a terrible impression. The Ugly: I was checked in to a room on the 24th floor. The room was clean, but not super clean either. The flat screen televison sits on a wooden tray on top of the dresser. Mine was visibly broken on oen side & you could see all of the broken wood. It looks awful. How can they check guests into this room without first repairing that ? Again - no one seems to care here about the guests perception. The hallways are dirty, dark, & very outdated. The elevators are being renovated. So perhaps when they finish they will look better. But the elevators that I took felt like you were back in the 80's. The elevators here do not have key card access. Whoch means anyone can get inside & go to any floor they desire. Including the SPG floors & the top 26th floor where the lounge is. This is not acceptable. As most Sheratons & other properties in this segment, by now have the key card access elevators as a security measure. I was there for new years eve. The hotel had security at the door. But that was about it. The hallways were full of drunk guests being loud in the hallways. the crowd that stayed here was kinfd of rough as well. At one point the music & partying at 3AM from the room that was next to mine was unbearable. So I called the front desk - which did nothing about it. Verdict: If you are using your SPG points to stay here like I did, don't ! Its not worth it. Its hard to get & accumulate these points to waste them here. Stay here if you get a good rate, end up here because of a favorable priceline bid, get a blockbuster rate or hotwire. Otherwise - there are many other options in CC that offer a cleaner, more elegant & better maintained facility for the price. In an often superior location to this one. This hotel has a major advantage which is the great customer service from the front desk staff & the concierge. If they could just up the security & pay more attention to the details like lobby plants, decorations, renovations, cleanliness & maintenance. This would be one of the best hotels in CC.

Rated 2 out of 5 by Angel2008 Needs Improvement This hotel did not meet my expectations for a Sheraton. The bed was either too soft or too hard in places. Was like part of it was used and the other part wasn't - was uncomfortable and not good for my back. The ice maker on my floor didn't work until the last night. The hotel charged for internet service which was ridiculous. I have been at cheaper hotels that provide it free. Room not as clean as could have been, not bad but not totally clean. Service at the restaurant was good but food was not great. August 26, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by Danton Needs a major renovation The heater sounded like a freight train going through the room every time it turned on. The sink barely drained; the toilet barely filled; the shower handle felt as if it was about to fall off. A fire alarm went off for over twenty minutes Saturday night. I understand that it couldn't be turned off until the fire department gave its okay, but there was never an all clear. I had to call the front desk to find out everything was safe. I was offered a room on a high floor when I checked in and accepted gladly. It turned out the room on the 16th floor looked right across the street at an office building. Finally, the bill was not split between the two guests in the room so we had to spend an extra ten minutes getting it cleared up when we checked out. This is the worst stay I have ever had at a Sheraton. January 31, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by Spec1295 Hotel dated and worn The hotel is dated and showing age. Hall carpets are old and worn, hotel room doors jam and hard to close. Bar area was kept too cold with air conditioning running to the point where we had to take our food back to our room on two different evenings. May 2, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by ruggerdoc Avoid if at all possible This hotel is in desperate need of updating and a good cleaning. I stayed on the 6th floor; the hallway carpets were stained (with what I have no idea nor would I care to guess). The rooms were outdated - looks like they did probably 15 or more years ago. The room itself was incredibly noisy- you could hear conversations from the room next to it (being held at normal conversation levels). I'd look for any other hotel but this one if staying downtown. It needs to be bought up to current standards or at a minimum cleaned top to bottom. The carpets felt so dirty I wouldn't dare walk around the room barefoot. Sad. Normally have good experiences at Sheraton. November 9, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Cool14 My impressions Staff worked exceptionally hard to impress guest. September 15, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by RottenMilk This hotel is dirty I've stayed at this hotel numerous times and have always found this hotel is sub-standard. It is extremely dirty and I've been served spoiled milk in the lounge and restaurant multiple times. Check-in is very time consuming, and the internet is extremely slow. I do not recommend this hotel. October 27, 2011
Rated 2 out of 5 by Chris11 Not what I expected I reserved the King size bed with the Philly Overnight Package which was to include Complimentary Self Parking, Philly's More Funteddy Bear And Coupon Book. I did not receive any of it upon my arrival. I was downgraded to a queen bed handicap room with a walk-in hand held shower. And I paid $20 for self parking. The room was disgusting, the sheets had makeup on them from a previous guest, the carpet was stained and gritty feeling on bare feet, there was no blow dryer or garbage can in the bathroom and a burnt out light bulb. After complaining I was given two free breakfast buffet coupons for my inconvenience. I have stayed at other Sheraton Hotels and been very pleased with rooms and service but this hotel was a very big disappointment. November 7, 2011
Rated 1 out of 5 by Ray68 Unprofessional I reserved my room seven months in advance and reconfirmed my reservation the day before my arrival, but when I arrived they informed me that they did not have a room available for me. They did the same thing to at least two other families that were in line with me. They also lied when I tried to check in, telling me that they were waiting on housekeeping, which obviously wasn't true. Completely unacceptable...I will never stay at a Sheraton again. November 19, 2012
Rated 1 out of 5 by Complaints Worst Sheraton I've Ever Stayed At. This hotel is outdated, extremely unclean, and the staff is hit or miss. I've stayed here numerous times and it continues to dissapoint (I have now switched hotels as I travel frequently for work). Do not stay here unless you have no other options. October 27, 2011
Rated 2 out of 5 by Marie0918 Very Dated This hotel is very dated and needs to be renovated badly. The hotel room door was flimsy and didn't seem secure to me. The linens were clean and a little worn. Everything in the room was dated with the exception of the flat screen tv which makes it feel a little dirty to me. You can't tell if something is dirty or just old. I will not stay here on return trips until it's renovated and hopefully that's soon! I love the spg brands. March 20, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by Jesse disappointed Despite Gold status, I was given a room next to the elevators, so all night I heard them going up and down (sounded like the wind was constantly blowing). Internet was also down one of two nights and very slow the other. Housekeeping caught me at the elevator as I was leaving for conference and asked me if I needed my room cleaned (strange to ask...I didn't ask for new sheets, but told her to refresh towels). November 16, 2011
Rated 5 out of 5 by Sandy333 Excellent stay. My husband & I were very happy with our recent overnight stay at the Sheraton. The staff & room exceeded our expectations. It was a wonderful stay. June 30, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by Bren12 Worst Sheraton Experience I used my points for a one night stay at this Philadelphia, PA Sherton and I am a gold member which they acknowledged by upgrading me to a junior suite. That was great until I got to the floor that the room was on and it was really dirty. Then I get to my room and the smell of smoke was so overwhelming that it gave me and my girlfriend a headache. This is supposed to be a non-smoking hotel. To make matters worse, we called down to the front desk twice to let them know that our room smelled like cigarettes but I guess it wasn't important to them because no hotel attendant showed up to fix the issue. So after 30 minute I went to the front desk and had the room changed. Then they downgraded me to a regular room that the TV wasn't even working in. I have stayed at plenty of Sheraton's and this was the worst hotel experience ever. I can guarantee that I will not be staying in this Sheraton ever again. March 24, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by MONSTRO They gave my room away My first stay has not been impressive. Pros: Great location, bar is fun and has a great staff Cons: A little run down, but that is fine. What is NOT FINE is that when I arrived at the hotel I was informed that some manager gave my room away. I was able to get a parlor room but was very offended that the manager refused to come out and speak to me about it. I reserved the room weeks in advance and do not expect to be bumped. I was lucky to get a parlor room and sleep on a roll-away bed. the three guys behind me....not so much. Apparently they are supposed to find a new room at 10pm. Very poor and unprofessional management, I will be filing a complaint with SPG. May 21, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by bestman not up to par for Starwood Property It starts with filthy elevators. The stainless steel doors were covered with dust...you could write your name. Informed an employee who was in the elevator with me and he said he would take care of it...still dirty 2 hours later. The cordless phone by the bed did not work...reported it at 7Am when I departed for a meeting. When I returned at 10 PM no resolution. One morning I requested change a the front desk for a $20. They said sorry, perhaps I could try the restaurant. I am an SPG Gold member, so was very disappointed with this property. I live in New Orleans where all hotels pride themselves on service...this was seriously lacking at the Sheraton Philadelphia. January 28, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by peggymg One Night after Vaca The room certainly met my expectations, however the common areas including elevators, hallways and concession areas were very dirty. There was litter and debris along the entire length of the hall on the Club Floor where I stayed. And the elevators were dirty and unkempt as well. Finally, the Ice Maker on my floor was out of order and there wasn't an Out of Order sign or any other indicator. I've stayed at this hotel in the past and was very pleased. I trust that the conditions I noted above were as of result of a temporary staffing shortage. With that in mind, I will reluctantly recommend this hotel should anyone ask, and will stay again when I'm in Philadelphia. August 26, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by SandraPhilly Front desk staff unreliable Stay here all the time. Front desk staff have MISSED crediting "Make a Green Choice" points for the vouchers I turned in TWO times in 2 different weeks! This was after they reassured me they'll take care of it at checkout. The hotel isn't great, but when the staff aren't reliable and don't do what they promise - this hotel becomes horrible! January 21, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Washington27 Nice Surprise I had not stayed at the Sheraton Downtown hotel for some time. I was very pleased to see the extensive renovation that had been done since my last visit. The common areas, the restaurant and my room were all well done. The friendliness of the staff made it all the more pleasant. I would most likely stay there again the next time that I visit the city. October 10, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Matt3141 Fabulous Staff, Great Location, Good Weekend Rates Very pleased with my first stay at this particular Sheraton. Great location - very convenient to the convention center, Chinatown, Reading Market, Franklin Institute, Art Museum, etc. It's a short walk from 30th St. Station if you have only a roller bag or backpack (or five minute/$5 taxi). Hotel itself was super comfortable; great beds, excellent workspace/desk and chair, new HD TVs, good shower and bathroom. Front desk staff were exceptionally nice, and gave me a cute Philly souvenir for my niece! I did not have a chance to go to the hotel's restaurant or lobby bar, but there's an Irish pub nearby. I will definitely return to this hotel when I come back to Philadelphia. December 30, 2011
Rated 1 out of 5 by SirGoneALot Old and Tired... As a Gold Preferred SPG member, I was very disappointed with what I believed would have been a flagship-type example of Philadelphia hospitality. I was greeted by a young fellow at front driveway, with his hand out immediately informing me of $45 Valet??? $25 to park in the garage one floor down??? WOW. Asked if I could take my one bag inside before I parked car myself, and was told no...they were too busy to keep my car in front for the 3 minutes it would take to go inside...felt a prevailing sense of laziness? Found dust fingerprints, smears on glass, an elevator that clanged and banged and the doors would barely open 3 different times, noticed white shavings of powder like substance seemingly everywhere, as I was leaving my room final time, my phone rang, had a very nice black writing pen in my hand, laid it down while grabbing my suitcase, walked out of the room....I noticed on way to airport it was not in my pocket, I called and asked to simply go up and grab pen and call me when they had it, I was told no problem....6 hours later arrived home, no one had called, so, I called them, was told sorry, they didn't see it and someone was already checked into the room...that's that. No offer to look under the desk or ask to new "lodgers" if they found it just can't do anything more. Not convinced they even really tried...or cared. Just overall disappointment. September 8, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by Mike2014 Cheerless hotel and unhelpful reception staff The hotel is in need of some decoration. The reception staff on the day that I checked-in were unhelpful and unaccommodating. Just as I was about to sleep there was a fire alarm and all guests had to evacuate rooms. It was chaotic. I would not stay at this Sheraton again. Very disappointing. January 28, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by AJC1973 Not the cleanest Room had trash from last person left. Paint peeling. Carpet doesn't reach the wall. Bathtub doesn't drain (everytime I have stayed here). Fitness center nice but way too hot. Almost too warm to tolerate. Lobby restaurant and bar decent. Overall a subpar stay. March 24, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by JMMCK Great Hotel and Staff Great Hotel and Staff; however, the hotel is due for renovations. The carpeting is deplorable and overun with snags and bulking mounds in the hallways and inside the rooms. Management needs to do a thorough walk-thru and make improvements. March 26, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Calico007 food greaaaaat --room could be cleaner The food was fantastic!!!! The halls in the room areas could use a good shampooing--the room rugs also. Valve stem on hot water side in bathroom leaked. September 2, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by Chicagoflyer Needs help Dirty - fingerprints on the doors for days without being cleaned, elevators never get cleaned. Had a used bar of soap in my shower. Front desk is just unfriendly and they hate their jobs. August 24, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by JoeDE The hotel has the most friendly and helpful staff We were only there one night to attend a concert. The staff could not have been more friendly or helpful. Their recommendation for dinner was perfect. The room was very clean and comfortable, though the bathroom could use updating. The location was perfect. I expect a lot from Starwood hotels and this one did not disappoint. I would definitely recommend it. August 23, 2014

After attending what I thought was my "dream school" for less that a full year (two quarters) I left with an absolute distaste in my mouth. SCAD is nothing more than a horrendous excuse for an art school. First off, the school lacks the accreditations that places like FIDM, RISD and Parsons have. Second, the faculty in the department I was in (Fashion) were arrogant, rude and unhelpful. I had taken almost half of my required fashion classes at another school across the country and gotten everything from a B- to several B+ and a few A's in these classes and yet they had the audacity to tell me that I needed to retake them when my work was above that of several of their senior students! Also, the tuition for this place is laughable. The scholarships are a joke. I wasted twenty-five grand on six classes that I could have taken in one semester at my local State University for only five!!! They are robber-barrons who make you live on their less-than-accomitable housing to get full scholarship, otherwise you only get seventy percent. These "dorms" are renovated motels from the sixties and seventies that look like they would fail an asbestos test today. The "employment rate" they boast is fabricated and I guarantee you most graduates get temp jobs or part-time internships that end and they are left in crippling debt. Trust me, it is NOT WORTH going into debt for a college degree. NOTHING IS WORTH DEBT!!! Finally, something is wrong with that president of theirs. She is just not right and I wouldn't doubt that there is something illegal going on at the administrative level. Watch, within the next five years or so an investigation will be launched into that school and with luck she and her tenured jokes of professors will be indicted. So, all-in-all I have absolutely nothing good to say about this school. I urge you to go the cheap route and either get an art degree at your local university or skip college all together and start honing your craft. I'm just grateful I got out of there in time to realize what a joke the place is.
Find schools and get information on the program that's right for you.

University of Michigan football coach Brady Hoke says 2nd year usually harder than 1st
Michigan coach Brady Hoke says leading a team for a second season is usually harder than the first.
Hoke spoke Wednesday at a Michigan AP Spots Editors meeting.
The Wolverines will open their second year under Hoke against Alabama on Sept. 1 at Cowboys Stadium.
READ:Hoke named Big Ten Coach of the Year
Hoke says it doesn't make a difference who is coaching at Ohio State in recruiting, adding it has never been about who's the coaching the programs.
He insists the focus on playing the Buckeyes hasn't lessened the importance of the Michigan State series, saying the Wolverines haven't done their job against the Spartans during a four-year losing streak.
Hoke says his seniors were on a working trip when they recently went to Southern California to train with Navy SEALs and visit the Rose Bowl.

Who else has one eye on the JT countdown clock and the other on NSync gay fan fiction forums?
Murs said during the Paid Dues Festival announcement he tried to book Aesop Rock but couldnt because he would be playing Coachella.
AC/DC would be a fucking blast.
A guy I met at a party on Friday's brother fouled around with someone who knows people who do the port-a-potties for Coachella said that a Nick Drake hologram will be headlining a night. They also said that The Black Keyes are back again. I'm so glad I bought the pre-sale tickets
The lead singer of Fun. Can really belt notes. Worth seeing live just to hear someone that can actually sing these days.
Black Keys are just there to help the Stones out.
There are 5 hints as to who is playing within this status posted...Phoenix is the obvious one
"Well...it is day 13 of 2013 and god willin, one has to assume we are down to double digit hours before an epic lineup is released from Coachella. A lineup so deep its like a fiery creature that swoops in and makes you move for good vibes in the California sun"
is a dickhead in a green body suit crowd surfing the new thing at festivals now?
The Ramones!
Justin Timberlake's countdown is over in 10 minutes.
It's a new single which leaked about a half hour ago and it's pretty bad.
Upcoming Shows:
Caribou @The Fillmore 03/01/15
The Pop Group @ GAMH 03/11/15
Who posted that status?
Guess who is playing with this hint:

The basics
BT Assure can help you protect your network by monitoring it for you in real-time, and efficiently dealing with threats as soon as they occur. By detecting and preventing intrusions BT can save you money by avoiding the damage and repair operations that are necessary when threats go unnoticed.
Constant monitoring in-house can be a drain on your resources, and it costs a great deal of money to maintain your own cutting-edge surveillance infrastructure. By outsourcing your detection and prevention systems to a leading provider, who can spread the costs over many clients, you can cut your costs dramatically, and free-up your IT staff to focus on the day to day running of your organisation.
With a global reach, BT offers the most comprehensive real-time security monitoring available, and because it spots threats as they happen it will deal with them immediately, ensuring you can carry on as normal, and keep your organisation operational.
Read on or contact your account manager to see how BT Assure can provide you with the best real-time security monitoring available, and cut your costs:
Security and compliance requires specialised expertise, and it makes more sense to outsource that so my staff stay focused on the core business objectives. BT can survey all the potential threats worldwide and provide a much wider, more current view of the threats. That's something we can't do as efficiently, given our current staff levels."
- John Lambeth, CISSP, CISA VP, Information Technology Blackboard Inc.
Some of the best bits
Get the best network monitoring services available, cut costs and free up your IT staff to keep you operational. Here are some of the things BT Assure can do to help:
- Give you 24/7 security monitoring from the world's top monitoring agency
- Free up IT staff to focus on other issues
- Help you to comply with auditing and compliance standards
- Enable you to react quickly to security threats

Google announced last year that the venerable Galaxy Nexus would not be getting any of that sweet, sweet KitKat action. Well, not officially anyway. Owners were not pleased, but they couldn't properly flood the internet with complaints because their phones were already dead. There have been a few KitKat ROMs that work well enough, but now some developers have created a kernel and GPU driver combo that could keep this device chugging along through the L release.
Normally the kind of customer who buys a "rugged" phone like the Hydro VIBE isn't all that concerned with having the latest and greatest in software - or at least that seems to be the attitude of the carriers and manufacturers, who don't seem very concerned themselves. Perhaps that's why Sprint and Kyocera launched the phone with Android 4.3 back in May, despite the fact that 4.4 had already been available for seven months.
Owners of the Xperia T, TX, and V had a little hope before today that their beloved devices would see some of that KitKat goodness, but now their hopes lay dashed to bits at the feet of Sony's heartless engineers. These devices won't be making the jump to Android 4.4 KitKat, but will continue to live on with Android 4.3 Jelly Bean.
Sony has announced an impending software update for the Xperia T2 Ultra and the T2 Ultra Dual that will deliver Android 4.4 to both devices. The update contains the changes introduced by KitKat, but it also tosses in a number of Sony-exclusive touches.
Sony's designers have tweaked the status bar and quick settings to make them easier on the eyes, and they've tossed in new animations at launch and on the homescreen that may look familiar to PlayStation 4 owners.
The last time that the Padfone 2 got a major version update was way back in December 2012, for Jelly Bean 4.1. Yeah, you read that right. Today ASUS is updating its second phone-tablet-combo-thingy all the way to KitKat, a move that will surely please at least some of the users who haven't upgraded to one of the newer models. Are you ready for some sketchy ASUS English translations? Of course you are.
All the talk about Android L this week overshadows the unfortunate fact that the previous release is still on less than 15% of Android devices. This weekend US Cellular is helping in a small way, releasing KitKat to two of its Samsung phones. The US Cellular versions of the Galaxy S4 Mini and the Galaxy Mega (6.3) are both being updated to KitKat, so those with the applicable hardware should keep an eye out for the over-the-air alert.
Update: Samsung has shared a little bit more information on this update. The approximate file size is 246.5 MB. Click on the image below to read up on the details.
The time has come for Verizon Galaxy Note II owners to experience the new features that Google rolled out in the fall of 2013, as the Big Red is pushing out an OTA update to the large handset that has the goods in tow.
If you used to play around with CyanogenMod Nightlies, but switched to the more stable M-series releases, it has probably felt like forever since M6 hit the scene. Well, M7 is hot off the compilers, just in time to fill that insatiable need to flash your phone or tablet. Don't forget, the M-series has officially taken the place of Release Candidates and Stable builds, so this is considered the most reliable version of CyanogenMod available.
Back in April, owners of the Samsung Galaxy S4 Active were treated to the ultimate tease when an update to Android 4.4 KitKat began rolling out, only to be put on hold a few days later. The only explanation was a claim that AT&T and Samsung were "looking into potential improvements." It looks like the time has come -again- for the S4 Active to make the jump to KitKat.
Samsung has been dabbling around with the Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 LTE Edition's KitKat update for a while now, first rolling out the update to the Wi-Fi only version of the tablet several weeks ago. Now SamMobile reports that the LTE Edition, SM-P605, is getting its taste of Android 4.4 now in select countries. The first up are those in the Nordic region such as Denmark and Finland, with more on the way.

You work with your kid for years, patiently riding at their pace, encouraging and teaching that life at bike speed is best. Then seemingly all at once they go into hyperdrive and you're dropped like a rock. And the rare times they ride at your pace they make sure to remind you that they could be going much faster. So you find their weaknesses and exploit them while you can, knowing that time for even that is running short. And that is the saddest part of all, that realization of mortality, that you can't be there to watch his or her journey all the way through. Which wouldn't be so bad if you weren't so darned proud of what they have accomplished so far and can only wonder what's next.

I am a wound
March 13, 2014
Sometimes I wish I couldn't feel.
I know that is a bold statement, but it is the truth. I would gladly give up experiencing happiness if it meant I no longer had to suffer through heart-wrenching pain and sadness, which unfortunately for me is the emotion that occurs more often. Now, if you have read this blog before, you know that I suffer from depression. It sucks. Sometimes, though, I am not experiencing my sadness. One of my best friends told me that I am tender-hearted and I take on other's pain. I believe she is right. I am the ultimate definition of sensitive and emotional. This makes it hard to function.
I feel like I am a wound. Sometimes I scab up and think that I am almost healed, and then something happens. It doesn't necessarily have to happen directly to me, though. It can be a bad day for my mom or a hard situation for a friend, etc. and it RIPS me open. No longer am I a scab, but I am a full on open wound. I am vulnerable. I am in pain. I am hurting. Hurting for others. Hurting for myself. Hurting because my naive ideals are non-existent. Hurting because people aren't perfect. Hurting because others are going to disappoint you. Hurting because life is not what you might have planned. I hurt and I bleed out. Eventually though I clean up. I bandage the wound. My patched up self takes on the world. I lead, I am involved. I succeed.
Then, the band aid falls off, and for awhile I think I am going to be fine. I am going to heal.
Until someone, whether that is a stranger or a friend or myself, unintentionally or intentionally rips the scab off. And the process starts all over. And I think to myself, will it ever mend? And even if it does, will the scars it undoubtedly leaves be any easier to deal with? I guess I just need thicker, tougher skin.
One Response to "I am a wound"
March 14, 2014 at 6:32 AM
you got that from your dear mother. i also take on everyone's pain and it is crippling. its just how we are wired. i was a mess yesterday because i read about a puppy that died. i know how you feel because it happens to me every day. it hurts and then it lets up a bit and something else comes along that kills you. a friend once told me that i have to stop taking on the pain of the world but i don't know how and you don't either. you end up exhausted and annoyed, bitter and angry – even resentful, but still can't stop.
i am sorry i gave you shitty genes but i do love you so!

Just get y alone and the resulting fraction coefficient (number behind the x) of x will be your slope. So.... minus the x + 3/-5 and add the 1/2 to each side to get y = x + 3/5 + 1/2 + 1. Since there's no number behind the x, the y intercept is some number, but the slope is 1 since there are no numbers behind it.

While the season of spring is meteorologically associated with the months of March, April, and May, each year, the season arrives on a different date. This year, the spring equinox (also known as the vernal equinox) falls on Thursday, March 20. This is when the sun moves across the celestial equator. The first day of spring is a day of celebration, as it (typically) insinuates warmer temperatures, rising rainfall, and the promise of a better time. To celebrate the arrival of spring, we've rounded up quotes, sayings, and poems that capture the essence and excitement of the arrival of spring.
1. "Every spring is the only spring -- a perpetual astonishment." -- Ellis Peters
2. "In the spring I have counted one hundred and thirty-six different kinds of weather inside of four and twenty hours." -- Mark Twain
3. "Spring has returned. The earth is like a child that knows poems." -- Rainer Maria Rilke
4. "In the spring, at the end of the daya, you should smell like dirt." -- Margaret Atwood
5. "The seasons are what a symphony ought to be: four perfect movements in harmony with each other." -- Arthur Rubenstein
6. "Sweet April showers do spring May flowers." -- Thomas Tusser
7. "A little madness in the Spring Is wholesome even for the King." -- Emily Dickinson
8. "Autumn arrives in early morning, but spring at the close of a winter day." -- Elizabeth Bowen
9. "April hath put a spirit of youth in everything." -- William Shakespeare
10. "Sweet spring, full of sweet days and roses, a box where sweets compacted lie." -- George Herbert
11. "I want to do to you what spring does with the cherry trees." -- Pablo Neruda
12. "Spring is God's way of saying, 'One more time!'" -- Robert Orben
13. "Spring is not the best of seasons. Cold and flu are two good reasons; wind and rain and other sorrow, warm today and cold tomorrow." -- Author Unknown
14. "In the spring, at the end of the day, you should smell like dirt." -- Margaret Atwood
15. "The first day of spring is one thing, and the first spring day is another. The difference between them is sometimes as great as a month. -- Henry Van Dyke
16. "O, wind, if winter comes, can spring be far behind?" -- Percy Bysshe Shelley
17. "The sun was warm but the wind was chill. You know how it is with an April day." -- Robert Frost
18. "Behold, my friends, the spring is come; the earth has gladly received the embraces of the sun, and we shall soon see the results of their love!" -- Sitting Bull
19. "Spring has returned. The Earth is like a child that knows poems." -- Rainer Maria Rilke
20. "Spring is nature's way of saying, "Let's party!"" -- Robin Williams
21. "I think that no matter how old or infirm I may become, I will always plant a large garden in the spring. Who can resist the feelings of hope and joy that one gets from participating in nature's rebirth?" -- Edward Giobbi
22. "Life stands before me like an eternal spring with new and brilliant clothes." -- Carl Friedrich Gauss
23. "You can cut all the flowers but you cannot keep spring from coming." -- Pablo Neruda
24. "It's spring fever. That is what the name of it is. And when you've got it, you want - oh, you don't quite know what it is you do want, but it just fairly makes your heart ache, you want it so!" -- Mark Twain
25. "Under the giving snow blossoms a daring spring." -- Terri Guillemets

You could argue that these pieced leather dresses and jackets are "mod;" certainly the fastenings have a strong '60s flair, but they also feel bracingly new too. I can imagine being young now and loving these pieces precisely because are a demarcation line between people who find them compelling and exciting and people who don't. The same way people of my generation responded to grunge in the early '90s.
He threw in some dark jeans and jackets to appease people like me. I love the cut of the denim and the neat blazers. Nothing new here, but certainly good sewing inspiration.
I couldn't care less about Chanel, which feels so labored at that point that it's almost painful (the epic productions seem designed to disguise the lack of ideas in the clothes). Instead I think Fashion Month officially ends with Miu Miu. I don't have the nuance to parse much meaning out of these designs; a few fashion critics made the connection between Baltimore bad girls in John Waters films, which I think is a solid jump. I saw The Shangri-Las in these vaguely slutty, yet still lady-like outfits.
Granted, The Shangri-Las never actually dressed like this, but somehow their music and these clothes mesh perfectly.
