When was the last time you made a decision based purely on intuition and it spiralled into a series of serendipitous occurrences that just "felt right." Tuning into that voice holds a lot more collective power than we might realize. Read More. Photo Credit: Clare Mulvany, claremulvanyphotography.com.
Sharing resources on dialogic organization development, inside out social innovation and reinventing organizations
Three resources released in 2014 offer insight on building enterprises that contribute to society in a way that is meaningful to all stakeholders, including the enterprise. Though not necessarily geared to social enterprises, the thought leadership offered in these publications certainly applies to them as wel. Each resource includes tangible take-aways.

Remember that time you said "yes" to something without quite understanding why you said yes or even knowing what exactly you were saying yes to? But some part of you felt that you ought to do it and so you did.
Michelle Strutzenberger
A July 10 NPR article provides evidence that binging on bad news is, well, bad for us. The article cites a national report which found one in four of the 2,500 Americans surveyed had experienced a "great deal" of stress in the previous month — and that one of the biggest contributors to their day-to-day stress was their news diet.

The Arkansas Razorbacks aren't the only team in The Game Of The Century Part II capable of scoring points. This is newsworthy, since LSU Tigers games usually only involve one.
Go here for Arkansas-LSU scores and conversation.
It's now 14-7, Razorbacks, thanks to a six-yard Kenny Hilliard rush that capped a 14-play clanger of a drive. Jordan Jefferson is now eight-of-11 for 60 yards, but the key play might've been an incompletion.
Bottled up in the backfield for a sack, Jefferson kept his feet long enough to get the ball out of bounds, preserving all sorts of field position. He kept his feet long enough to stand and watch it land, but still. Jefferson's been an interesting matchup for the Hogs, and has had success running the option, even if some of that came on a forward-fumbled pitch that went for a first down somehow.

I did try to put that report into paragraphs so sorry!
hill on my arse and remember thinking "sweet, that's 20 yards less I have to run".
We hit the road at the bottom and were directed to turn right and run about a mile along to the last kayak start. We kept up what felt like a decent pace along this section but what in reality was probably a crawl. But we just kept going and it was a bit of a blur climbing into the boat. Here again my technique let me down but I was a bit better than the first time round and we got into something of a rhythm. By this point my back and hip flexors were seizing up and I had to stop for a couple of strokes a couple of times. Once we came within earshot of the finish-line tannoy and realising that people were able to see what we were doing I knew I just had to keep paddling. Then we were at the shore being literally dragged out of the boat by the marshals. My team-mate tapped me on the shoulder and said "we've done it mate". Four simple words that sounded so good.
We jogged the 50 yards over the finish line to be welcomed with a mars bar and some water and a pretty decent medal. You get an immediate print out of your time and a breakdown of your splits and I was made up to see we'd made it in 10 hours and 58 minutes. With 20 mins wasted up front on puncture repairs, that was way beyond my expectations.

NEW ALBANY, IND. (WDRB) -- The New Albany Police Department is calling on the FBI for help in the William Clyde Gibson case.
Chief Sherri Knight says detectives are here combing through the house once again, looking for any more evidence they might have overlooked after discovering the remains of 35-year-old Stephanie Kirk.
Investigators say they found her body in Gibson's backyard close to his deck. The coroner says it appears she was strangled.
Gibson, a sex offender, is also charged with the deaths of 75-year-old Christine Whitus and the 2002 murder of 45-year-old Karen Hodella. Investigators say Whitus was strangled. Hodella's cause of death has not been determined because of the condition her body was in.
Prosecutor Keith Henderson says he is waiting on Kirk's final autopsy and toxicology results before charging Gibson with her death.
Chief Knight says she recognizes the magnitude of the case and has reached out to federal agencies to help out, including the FBI's Behavioral Analysis Unit or BAU: "Mostly we're looking for assistance in identifying other potential victims as well as other places that Gibson may have worked or traveled other than southern Indiana...Our focus now is on identifying other potential victims of crimes and bringing those people justice and closure."
Investigators will not say right now whether there are any other victims. It could take days before Kirk's autopsy comes back, and investigators say that's when they'll decide if more charges will be filed against Gibson.
Chief Knight says they believe Gibson acted alone and there's no reason for neighbors to be concerned about their safety. If Gibson is convicted, he could be sentenced to 160 years or the death penalty.

Finished in 9.10. The difference between a 20km and 10km swim (for me) seems more about the mental than the physical. Finished in decent shape but had some dark moments between the 12 and 17km marks. Awesome event, race report to follow.

Great report. How did you deal with the temp? Was it too high and make you sweat, or too cozy and make you lazy?

MILWAUKEE (AP) -- O.J. Mayo scored 28 points, including six 3-pointers, and Gary Neal had 12 of his 23 points in the fourth quarter as the short-handed Milwaukee Bucks held off the Cleveland Cavaliers 109-104 on Wednesday night.
Milwaukee, already without its top two point guards -- Brandon Knight and Luke Ridnour -- also played without forward Ersan Ilyasova and center Larry Sanders. Ilyasova was out with a sore right ankle while Sanders was out with a sprained right thumb, injured in a weekend off-court incident that is being investigated, the Bucks said in a statement.
The Bucks opened the fourth quarter with an 11-2 run to take a 94-81 lead, but Kyrie Irving scored 10 consecutive points to fuel a 13-point run that put the Cavaliers up 104-103.
Caron Butler tipped in a miss by Mayo with 24.8 seconds left to put the Bucks up 105-104 and Mayo added four free throws in the closing seconds.
Irving led Cleveland with 29 points and Dion Waiters added 21.

Our steward for our room was excellent. Every day, twice a day, he would do our room and refresh at night, with as we all know, 2 little chocies on the pillow. He was really a delightful person, with a very cheeky smile.
Our dinner waiter and drink waiter also couldn't do enough to please us, even going the extra mile to let us taste some eschargots (snails). We weren't game to try them, but he bought a small plate in for us all to try. Excellent service.
The captain would always update us a couple of times a day, and when the weather was rough, and he couldn't get us berthed on time, he would notify us with a very good idea of what was happening.
The food what can we say, too much of it, and beautifully presented, and the breakfast and lunch staff always went out of their way to help us.
We would definitely do more Princess Cruises.
The shows were superb, the entertainment and costumes were great, and the London Pub show on the second last night was a real buzz. Cudeos to Time the Social Director.
Another person to give cudoes to is Adam James, the pianist on the 5th floor. What a great singer and very "hot" to look at. He asked for requests every night and did his very best to sing what we all asked. I hope he will be on our next cruise when we decide where to cruise too.

Though he usually focuses criticism on Democrats, top-rated radio host Rush Limbaugh is scorching Republicans as "clueless" in their efforts to stop President Obama and his health-care agenda, and what he expects to be its "disastrous" impact on everyday life in America.
"We're left with Obamacare, and we are left with a damaged Constitution, and we have a Republican leadership that's clueless in how to slow any of this down," Limbaugh said this afternoon.
"If this keeps going this way, we're going to lose it all, folks. Unless some people get their heads in the game and focus on what really happened here and what really is happening, we're going to go down the tubes."
Limbaugh says last week's 5-4 ruling by the U.S. Supreme Court upholding President Obama's signature legislation is disastrous, severely harming the Constitution.
"And apparently it hasn't sunk in yet in the Republican establishment how outrageously bad this is," he explained.

Veteran Chargers beat writer Kevin Acee of the San Diego Union Tribune writes this morning that the holdout for Marcus McNeill and Vincent Jackson don't appear to be ending anytime soon.
It is increasingly likely that the two players will not sign with the Chargers until after the season's 10th game. They would come in then because they need six games to earn an accrued season.
Acee writes that it's also possible both could sit out the entire season. He says they can handle the holdout financially through 2010 if need be.
One key issue Acee points out is that the Chargers on Tuesday will reduce their restricted free agent tenders to 110% of their 2009 salary which would result in a loss of about $2.5 million for each player. If they weren't going to play for approximately $3 million in 2010, then they're not going to play for a fraction of that.
The Chargers have gone out and signed an offensive tackle (Tra Thomas) and a receiver (Josh Reed) in their absence. It appears GM A.J. Smith is willing to play hardball.

Nebraska Recruiting Recap: Class of 2012 (Part 2). We finish our review of the incoming 2012 class. But you have to pass the quiz first.
Husker CornCast: Signing Day (Did The Huskers Get What They Needed?)
I was able to catch up with Mo's older brother today Allieu Seisay, who helps handle his recruitment. Below you will find a couple of questions I asked Mo and his reaction. What was your reaction to receiving an offer from FSU Coach Mark Stoops? It was a surprise and honor to have an FSU offer, and what makes it even more humbling was Coach Stoops who presented me with this offer. It makes me feel good to know that all the work I've put in is paying off. I want all the high school or Juco athletes to know that if you keep grinding and working anything could happen just believe. I'm an example of hard work and belief a little sprinkle of talent also helps lol. Do you have any plans to visit(official visit) FSU after this offer? As far as visiting, that's still in the process. I will graduate from Eastern in a few weeks so my top priority is finishing up strong. I look at it as its less than 2min left in the 4th qrt for me here at Eastern, it's time for me to take this next play to the house (Seminole chop). I will say its a high possibility a FSU visit will happen Do you have a favorite school at the moment, or a top list of schools? I can't say I have a favorite, I believe my scenario is a little different. My older brother and I talk every night about every school that has made an offer. We are doing our due diligence. We have to be precise with our research into every school. At the end of the day who ever I decide on, will have my 100% loyalty. I will work even harder for that institution for giving me an opportunity to play a sport I love and get a free education. Do you have a date set yet to make a decision on your college choice? I don't have a specific date for a decision, but I can say it will be after my graduation and I want to be at home in VA with my family by my side. Once again I would like to thank FSU and Coach Stoops for offering me a free education and a chance to continue to do what I do best which is handcuff receivers every Saturday. Special thanks to Mo and his older brother Allieu Seisay. Update: Mo Seisay will visit FSU with teammate Travell Dixon on December 9th.
Florida State has offered Juco CB Mohammed "Mo" Seisay out of Eastern Arizona J.C. Seisay is a teammate of CB Travell Dixon, who FSU offered earlier this year. Before coming to Eastern Arizona, Seisay was a star at Memphis earning C-USA All Freshman Team honors and making Phil Steele's Freshman All American Team in 2010. Some of Seisay offers include Ohio State, Nebraska, North Carolina, Oklahoma, California and Arkansas, with most of these offers came within the last month. He is scheduled to graduate in December and will have 2 years of eligibility remaining. I have emailed Mohammed Seisay and I'm waiting to confirm if he will be Official Visiting with Travell Dixon together in December. Seisay has taken two official visits so far in Indiana and Nebraska. I mentioned Seisay as a prospect to watch earlier this year in our Recruiting Discussion back in August link With Mike Harris leaving, Florida State is looking for more experienced depth in the secondary which Seisay brings along with 6'2 size and the hips to stay at CB. He also has the size to be used at Safety. Seisay response to FSU offer: Coach Stoops came by from FSU.. man! thank you for the offer "with my Seminole chop"

A group of officers joined Coroner Sharon Grisham Stewart Saturday morning, to examine a body found in the grass at the corner of West Capitol and Kolb Streets some time before 8am.
The body has been identified as 27-year-old Jackson State University Security Officer Joseph Welch. The coroner's preliminary examination reveals five bullet wounds to the body.
Jackson police say Welch had failed to show up for work at 10 p.m. Friday night.
"We got a shots fired call early this morning around 1:45 in this area," says Jackson Police Spokeswoman Colendula Green.
Nothing was found at that time. But nearby residents spotted the body when the sun came up, and called police again.
Officers arrived, but it appears a full hour went by before robbery homicide detectives showed up. After hearing about the murder, the WLBT Newsroom placed the first call to a photographer at 7:48 a.m. During the next hour, an officer was heard on the scanner asking the whereabouts of robbery homicide. Then our newsroom staff sent a text message at 8:52 a.m. asking, "Did robbery homicide just show up?" The response was "Yes".
We told Officer Green about the time lapse.
Meanwhile, those living in the area where the murder occurred are on edge. Keith Robinson has young cousins to tend to.
"Keep your eye on your kids, loved ones, family because you don't know what people do out and around here," he says.

Carstock that I used was various 12" x 12" American Crafts –
City Park patterned Cardstock
& the tan color from the
pack. Ink colors that I used-
Jenni Bowlin, Seed Packet, Brown Sugar & Cough Syrup Dye Ink Stamp Pads.
Before you start, choose a craft/acrylic paint similar to the background color (make sure it's sprapbooking safe) and paint the paper…not perfectly. I also went over that after it dried with some clear glitter paint. Set aside to let dry.
From The Cricut Machine
Cartridge Straight From the Nest
cut the Phrase (A Little Birdie Told Me, pg. 29) at 1" in one piece of pattered paper, then again using the Shadow Phrase in a contrasting patterned paper. Once cut, layer together and then use a dauber or sponge to add some color around the edges with
Brown Sugar stamp pad
. I also added a dot of
Stickles Platinum
to the "…" & the "I's".
Cut the branch (pg. 43) from a brown piece of the pattered paper at 10". Use the Border Shift feature key to cut extra flowers (pg. 43) for layering on the branches, you can use any kind of paper. Use some white buttons & pre-made white paper flowers and you can dye them with some of the
Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist
colors – Starfish, Meadow Green, Sun Sister & Marmalade. I used my
and put some jewels on the center of the flowers & buttons. Then added a touch of stickles on the flowers -
Fruit Punch
Lime Green
. You can also use pop dots to add dimension to some of your flowers.
Then twist a pipe cleaner around your branch. This will give it some stability and dimension as well. You can add glitter if you like to make it sparkle.
The bird was cut at 1-1/2" (pg. 29) use the Layer function key to make multiple wings (pg. 29) in different color patterns. You can use a dauber or sponge to put some color around each one, using the
Jenni Bowlin stamp pad Brown Sugar
& curl the ends so they stick out. Then you can use a brad to attach them to the body of the bird. Gave her a googly eye and drew on some eyelashes.
The nest (pg. 37) was cut at 1-1/2" as well, added some moss & some white feathers to make it more life like. Then you can make the baby birds out of some scrap orange paper, so you can see just a little bit of their beaks. CUTE!
For the Banner Flags (pg. 65) you can cut 3 of them at 1-3/4" and then using the Layer Shadow feature key cut 3 more in a different patterned paper. Dauber around the edges with
Seed Packet ink pad
, then glue the layers together. Punch a hole in each of the corners, string some fiber through the holes to the length you would like, you can use brads in the holes here too, and add more stickles to the top of them. Then tie them to the branch and using pop-dots adhere them to the page to make them look like they are actually hanging from the branch. Using the Cricut Machine
Cartridge Lyrical Letters
, I cut the I, heart & U at 1", using various feature keys. To add a little extra you can wrap a thin wire around the heart, and glued them on the banner flags.
At this point lay everything that you have on the page to make sure everything looks nice. Tear your pictures down to the size that looks best on the page, then take the tan paper and with the picture on the top tear that down so it looks like it's layered & then crinkle them to give the distressed look. Dauber around both layers and use a small amount of tape layer them together. You can stich them together by hand or with your sewing machine…does not have to be perfect!
You can use a
Scor-Bug Embosser
Rotary Tool to punch the holes around the edges (again does not have to be perfect. Then took the same fiber that I used on the banner and hand stitched around going in and out of various holes. Again using a dauber around the outside of the page I used
Brown Sugar stamp pad
For the last touch I had taken a close up of the heart my son made with his hands and tore it down to a heart shape. Used
Cough Syrup
ink pad around the outside of the heart, punched holes around the outside and strung the same thin gold wire, (that I used around the other heart) through the punched holes.

Routes Sorted
L to R R to L Alpha
A really fun straight-up climb on the right side of the Gerdie Block. There are four sections to the climb: a ten-ish move to get established on the face, a nine-ish move on a micronut to get to the crux, a fun crux that may be done statically or dynamically, and easy-ish climbing to the top. I rated this as 10+, but the new Grey Dick has this as 11-.
Start on the right edge of the main face of the Gerdie Block, just right of Dirty Gerdie, and climb straight up the thin crack. The arete is off.
Take micronuts (mandatory, imho), & a 3.5 camalot (3 will do, but 3.5 is bomber). The crux is well protected.

VALORIE EVERSOLE - Daily Union Reporter
A local police officer and a local business were honored Thursday evening at the 12th annual Dove Candlelight Ceremony.
The ceremony, which remembers victims and survivors of domestic violence, was held at the First United Methodist Church in Shelbyville. Dove, Inc. is an agency which helps abused women, children, and men by offering shelter and counseling assistance.
"Many times victims feel they are walking down the road alone. I hope they can see they are not alone," said Shelby County Dove director Susie Kensil.
Kensil noted that statistics show that an average of three women across the country lose their lives each day due to domestic violence.
Shelby County State's Attorney Deborah Riley was keynote speaker for the event.
"Luckily in Shelby County we have police officers who are trained in domestic violence and we have Dove to help the victims," Riley said.
Riley added that her office takes domestic violence cases seriously.
"In my office, I cannot dismiss a domestic violence case even at the victim's request," she said. "We must teach our children that it is not right for people to commit acts of domestic violence.
Awards were presented to Shelbyville Police officer Paul Bennett for his and the departments work in helping victims in domestic violence situations.
"We're lucky to have a lot of officers who are very good with victims," Kensil noted in presenting the award. "They have compassion for the victims and firmness in dealing with the abusers."
Walmart was also presented an award for their Christmas program that, through a grant to Dove, helps children buy gifts for their families and for themselves. The store employees "shop" with the children and help them wrap gifts. They also host a party complete with refreshments and Santa.
"The employees go over and above with their time," Kensil noted.
The program grant has been given to Dove over recent years.
Leslie Winfield, assistant store manager, accepted the award on behalf of Walmart.
The focus of the ceremony was the lighting of the candles for the victims and survivors and the candlelighting ceremony in support of those involved in domestic violence.

Ford Mustang Body & Sheet MetalMany early model Mustangs are often the ones that need the Mustang Body & Sheet Metal the most. After 40-50 years on the road, many pieces of the Mustang body & sheet metal can be dinged, dented or rusted. While repairing these Mustang body & sheet metal parts is often an option, full replacement is sometimes the only way to get your Mustang looking great again. Many other early model Mustangs look good, but their owners may want to upgrade it so it looks better. To help with both of these problems, CJ Pony Parts offers every Mustang body & sheet metal part you need.
Late model Mustangs are often in a similar situation, with some having Mustang body & sheet metal that is in great shape and others needing new parts. CJ Pony Parts has Mustang body & sheet metal replacement parts for most late model Mustangs, so owners can easily get what they need to fix their cars up. CJ's also offers many styling kits, Mustang Spoilers and bumper covers that can give your Mustang body & sheet metal an entirely new look on your late model Mustang.
For present model Mustangs, the Mustang body & sheet metal is all about the styling! Most of these Mustangs have no need yet for major Mustang body & sheet metal replacements, and many owners just want to add some style to their Mustangs. Mustang Grilles and Mustang Body Kits are two of the most popular Mustang body & sheet metal categories for newer Mustangs and each of these parts can help make your Mustang body & sheet metal unique and make those who look upon it say, 'wow!' CJ Pony Parts is your source for every Mustang body & sheet metal part, from any year, so make your order now!

The Kurdistan Regional Government Representation Office in Spain (KRG Spain) in collaboration with Centro Persepolis, a Persian cultural center, and the Local Government of Torrejon organized the first personal exhibition of the Kurdish painter Mrs Chiman Ismaeel Rashan in the cultural center of "La Caja del Arte" of Torrejón de Ardoz, Madrid. (c/ Joaquín Blume / c/ Eos.)
The exhibition was officially opened in La Caja del Arte on April 19th, 2012, at 19:30, by the KRG Representative in Spain, Mr. Daban Shadala, the Director of Centro Persepolis, Mr. Ahmad Taheri, and representatives from the local government of Torrejon de Ardoz. This is the first exhibition of Mrs Chiman Ismaeel in Spain. During April and May the public can enjoy her 34 works consisting of oil on canvas and aquarelle on paper, portraits of Kurdish women, children, the majestic nature of the Kurdistan Region and some philosophic abstract works.
Mrs Chiman Ismaeel is a Kurdish painter who has held more than 15 personal exhibitions in Iraq and abroad and participated in more than 30 collective exhibitions with her paintings. Her paintings surprise the viewer with brilliant colors and shapes, abstract forms and combinations and her ability to communicate experiences and emotions through a purely visual language divested of all symbolic or narrative content. Generally her paintings are portraits and landscapes, but mystical details and colorfulness give them originality and freshness. She has been called the "Kurdish Klimt" by some observers.
Professional background:
Chiman Ismaeel was born in Iraq in 1966 and graduated from Baghdad Art College in 1988. For more than 10 years she was teaching in the Cultural College and working for NGOs supporting cultural activities for children and youth. Her first personal exhibitions were held in Sulaimaniyah in 1992, and after that she participated in personal and collective exhibitions in Iraq and abroad; in Germany, France, Canada, Holland, South Korea and Japan.
--The KRG Representation Office in Spain was opened in Madrid in December 2010 as the first point of contact for the Spanish public and private sectors with the Kurdistan Region of Iraq, and since then has been working to build and promote dialog and bilateral relations in the areas of trade and investment, education and science and art and culture between Spain and Kurdistan Region of Iraq. Since 2010 KRG representation in Spain have organized various cultural activities in an effort to present to the Spanish public rich and powerful, and so surprisingly original for Europe, Kurdish culture.
Madrid, Spain 17TH of April, 2012

Not knowing its value, Erasmus' mother told the neighbor, "You can keep the stone, if you want it."Read More »

I put this string on 2011 Wilson BLX 98 18x20 string bed with tension on 52 lb. The string definitely "bites" the ball better and gives more rpm even on my non-spin friendly racket. But whenever I hit the ball it doesn't seem to give me a clean hitting sound compared to other strings that I have used.
Great string, will get more soon.

Rated 2 out of 5 by RCowles Late Check in - Room Not Ready We arrived early and were told that there was no room available, and that they would call when it was ready. They "pre-checked" us in by taking all of our information and credit card info. The room wasn't ready until nearly 4:00 (normal check-in is 3:00 PM). When we finally returned we still had to stand on line again, show our ID again, and give our credit card again - really, what was the point of "pre-checking" us in? They "upgraded" us to the top floor (but we are gold SPG members anyway - so no big deal). By the way wifi is $15 per day for a limit of 3 machines (more than that and there is an additional fee) - I have never heard of a limit on devices. There are better options within the city - we will not be returning to this hotel, I would not recommend this hotel. July 20, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by BillyPhilly hotel forgot the hospitality I arrived after a long journey (while nursing the onset of a severe cold) and full day of meetings to discover that my reservation had been mistakenly booked for the week prior. The desk informed me that I'd been a no-show the prior week, that they didn't have a room available for the three nights but only for the one night. A tough situation. However since I was clearly exhausted and sick, I was very very disappointed that they didn't offer to help me book elsewhere (in the Starwood system or otherwise). They charged me nearly double the rate for that night and they put us in the least desirable room in the building. And on top of it all, the pool deck (which along with convenient location was the primary upside to this property) was closed for renovation. I'm not currently a frequent traveler, but I used to travel every week and stay with Starwood every chance I got due to the great properties and service I received. Moreover this was a property where I put dozens of corporate guests for their stays in Santa Monica. It was a tremendous disappointment to be the recipient of such an oblivious lack of compassion & hospitality. I don't think Delfina deserves to use any of the Starwood names. Hoteliers are in the hospitality business - even in image conscious Los Angeles - and Delfina just didn't understand. January 30, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by Peyton18 Would not recommend this hotel I stayed at this hotel for a weekend and I am a loyal Starwood customer and have always been extremely happy with the hotels I select from this site. As I received excellent service from the hotel in regards to certain requests I asked for, I was shocked by what occurred just a few hours before departing. My daughter was with me and we were celebrating her 23rd birthday. We were sitting outside talking in the front of the hotel (minding our own business) and a man approached us (a guest at the hotel as well) and sat down next to us and was extremely rude with his words and quite vulgar. We kindly asked him to refrain from using such comments and he stomped his feet and got very close to my daughter's face and walked back into the hotel lobby. I immediately told the gentleman working at the hotel in valet what occurred and he immediately said he would take care of it. The man proceeded to come back to us and say inappropriate and borderline abusive words to use. Words I would not want to write down - mean and offensive. I was scared and shocked. The gentleman working the valet told the guy "he had a phone call" and brought him back into the lobby. Then told us he was so sorry for the guys behavior. I later discovered that this guy that was staying at the hotel is a "regular" customer, spends thousands of dollars and stays for months. He is a "song writer". His behavior has occurred before and it is simply washed under the table as he is someone who spends a lot of money at the hotel. That was what was told by me from an employee at the hotel. I normally do not complain but as a customer as well, I should never be spoken to like that by anyone regardless of how much money "they may spend". I am just as an important customer regardless of how much "money" I spent at the hotel and no one should be treated that way. Unfortunately, I would never stay at the hotel again because of the way this was handled. It was not at fault by the extremely nice valet gentleman as he quickly made sure the guy left us alone and we felt safe but the idea that a hotel would allow such behavior is shocking. I was never approached or contacted by a manager regarding this situation and as a side note I never received an email confirmation of my hotel bill of which they said I would. March 25, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Pam70 Oasis during Business It is important to business travelers to have a retreat after a hard day. This hotel was an oasis of stress relief at the end of brutal work days. July 27, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Cristy48 Excellent Hotel The staff were very professional and friendly. The hotel was very nicely decorated. The food was excellent the rooms were nice and overall our experience was excellent. The location is great a few blocks from the beach, dining, shopping and everything that you need. I would recommend this hotel it was amazing. I can not say enough about how nice the staff were. Always welcoming and holding the door for us no matter what time it was. They were amazing! July 21, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by AE80 Beautiful ocean views We only stayed at the hotel for one night, but were immediately upgraded to a junior suite on the Starwood level at check in. The room was gorgeous - a double balcony with a direct view of the ocean. Definitely one of the highlights of our trip. July 23, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by Jdwyvr Beware Deceptive Advertising / Hotel Sub Par Beware! Reservations assured me of completed renovations - arrived to find construction in lobby, completely destroyed pool terrace, club lounge is an empty cement floored room and best of all our deluxe ocean view king had a view and pounding noise of adjacent construction site! Rooms comfortable but far from sound proofed! Reception on departure had a take it or leave it attitude. Ruined my in hotel business meetings as business center closed as well. Sheraton Delfina is deceptive! Avoid this place! May 1, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by Pdiddy Only complaint location. The decor is lovely in the lobby and the room. The staff was very responsive. For shopping and restaurants you have to walk 1/2 mile to a mile. The beach is 5 blocks away. My suggestion is the hotel have a car to take you to beach and restaurants within a 10 block area. July 22, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by GZZ123 Toilet cleanliness a slight issue I stayed at the Le Meridien Delfina from Jan 10 to the 13. I really enjoyed the lobby and the overall experience. However, I have always been a stickler for toilet cleanliness, and my experience with this Starwood property has been underwhelming on this aspect. When I checked in, the bathroom curtain and shelves had brownish-red stains, which I assume is coffee in the best situation, and blood in the worst. Hope that this will not be a problem in the future. Other than that, great lobby, although having only one working lift was a hassle. The other lift was under maintenance resulting in long waits for everyone. Staff were really friendly and helpful. January 14, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by Anabelle1 Sheraton Santa Monica The Staff was most accomodating, professional. The main lobby lovely however.. my room. The room has been recently remodeled, unfortunately it was quite uncomfortable, very small, confined, dark - and some beautiful view + balcony! Overlooking a dilapidated, old apartment building. The only light coming into the room was from an approx. 4 ft. sliding door onto a tiny balcony with THE view. No windows, noise all night from the apt. building. April 28, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Coleo Great Hotel, Great View, Great Staff This was my 3rd and best experience at this hotel, mostly thanks to Michael at the front desk who upgraded my room to a cabana pool side room and also sent up a nice treat for my GF who had a rough day of travel. Everyone was very pleasant, the property clean and the stay without any issues. Beds are very comfortable as well. July 18, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by Esther1 Change of Name-Change of Standards Having stayed at the Sheraton Delfina over many rears, it came as an absolute shock to see such a determination in standards by a simple change of name. Our room was over a very noisy bar, the staff were unhelpful, it took 3 days of a 7 day stay to get a working coffee machine and television. No self parking for guests when a function is on. This was most certainly not a change for the better and most certainly the worst hotel associated with the Sheraton name I have ever stayed in, and will never return to. October 20, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by Jane098 It's the little things I chose this hotel for it's location and the promise of a little luxury during a short vacation in Santa Monica CA. The decision was based on the price per room and website photos. We booked a King suite, thinking the word 'suite' indicated more space and the chance to shut a door to a bedroom. The 'suite' is just a room, nothing more, and quite small at that, the word 'suite' should not be used. While the bed was delightfully comfortable the sofabed for my two children was really below standard, you could feel the springs under the incredibly thin mattress. Not good enough. In addition, the bathroom amenities were a disappointment. Toilet tissue like sandpaper, shampoo and conditioner that could be used for dish washing. The bathroom lighting, while fine for general use, was completely inadequate for make up. The staff were friendly and super efficient however we have previously stayed at other hotels in the area and know that we can get better value for our money. Sorry about that. July 17, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by disappointed WAYYYY overpriced it took 4 trys and 3 hours to find a room that I could sleep in- one room had noise blasting in - one room had hadsmokers in a smoke free room - no screens on doors, no king bed as reserved, bathroom so small one person was almost too much - mold in the tub, no water pressure all for the low low price of $310.00 per night March 26, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Mjem10 Fantastic getaway, great hotel This property is modern, clean and comfortable with a good vibe. The entire hotel staff provided us with excellent customer service and the location was ideal for sightseeing, beach, eating and shopping excursions. Overall a very enjoyable experience On the west side. Will be back! July 17, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Ozzie63 HOT HOT but nice The staff was fantastic and the Hotel was nice. The room was Hot and the A/C would not go lower then 73. Since the beds did not have a sheet to cover yourself you had only the down cover which made it even hotter. July 18, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Browns26 Holiday Great place for a holiday July 19, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by DrKosmic Long Weekend Stay A very lovely hotel with great facilities. The room was spacious, with a nice balconey and a very comfortable bed. The fitness room was delightful. The staff was terrific. A convenient location to all the major places in Santa Monica with no problems walking into the downtown area March 26, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by BTP11 Excellent Vacation Outstanding from check-in to check-out. Concierge service, valet parking, bike rental on-site, pool temperature, everyone on staff was exceptional. Stayed with spouse and 2 teenagers. Everyone loved it. Very clean all around, plenty of seating indoor and outside by pool, etc. March 28, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Martin80 Fantastic Hotel As always a great stay at the Sheraton Delfina. From the moment you arrive to the moment you leave, the staff are pleasent and eager to help. Rooms are clean and quiet and the room service food is fantastic. Look forward to staying again! December 3, 2012
Rated 1 out of 5 by Zwizzer Need mgmt on grounds This spg platinum experience was one of the worst service experience I have evr had at a Starwood property. Inexperienced, obsequious young staff ...left alone on a Saturday night. March 4, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by casamia Beautiful hotel, service needs work The hotel is in a good location, walking distance to Main Street in Santa Monica and the beach. The hotel itself is beautiful, modern and recently updated. We made an SPG reservation for a double room and due to status and the fact that we were traveling with kids were updated to a fabulous suite, newly renovated, modern with a king bed, pull out sofa, fabulous view and tiled jacuzzi on the balcony. The hotel has a nice pool right off the bar. It's a bit small with no bathrooms/changing rooms nearby (you need to walk through the bar to get there) but it's quite nice. While the hotel was lovely, service still needs work. The staff when we checked in was quite nice. Our room was upgraded but we were asked to wait until 5:30 for our room to be ready because the pipes in the original room we were slated for weren't working due to construction. We spent the afternoon at the pool but bar/food service was slow and not especially friendly. Net-net, we'd definitely go back and our experience wasn't nearly as bad as previous reviews but they hotel needs to focus on service in order to start earning better reviews overall. April 22, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Radi Delfina Santa Monica We enjoy staying at the Delfina when we travel to LA July 16, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Jeanette1234 This hotel needs to improve its fitness equipment Fitness equipment is in bad shape. July 16, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Mattdycr In need of some tender loving care. I arrived a little early for check-in but was given a room within 30 minutes of arrival. The room that I was checked-in to was a corner room, and had a view of the beach/pool. The location is pretty decent, it's a short 10 or so minute walk to the beach. The only downside is the ageing of the rooms. The furniture was outdated, and the curtains were cut to allow room for an old-school air con vent which allowed a lot of light in from the minute the sun was up. Other than that, I was well looked after and the bar, restaurant, pool rival many places in Cali. Good for business and pleasure. April 3, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Emmy67 Very Classy This is a very classy hotel. The staff is always ready to help. The location is excellent, and has a feeling of a boutique hotel. I stay here every time I am in Santa Monica. July 14, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by Zwizzer This is an old Sheraton...nothing more Too many too list....in general, this re do of Sheraton Delfina, does not deserve Le Meridien branding, nor prices, regardless of higher priced prestige chain properties nearby. For example, bathrooms were updated , but old, tired fixtures remain, even in purchased suite. Request to be far away from Pico Blvd., was not fulfilled, or recognized despite Platinum status for years. This is a Starwood embarrassment. Rename it Aloft, and change to lower price point, and guest expectations. July 5, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by RK1190 Amazing location Great location, facilities and ocean views July 14, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by Carmen1426 Most Expensive SPG hotel, Least satisfaction Bathroom had towels for 2, with 4 guests. When I called for more towels, the phone rang 50 times with no answer, went down to front desk, very long wait to get there as only one elevator was working, was told 30 min until more towels would be available. 1/4 roll of toilet paper and no additional upon check in. Pool service pleasant, but she was very slow and there was more demand than she could handle. Room was very sandy. July 7, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by Tylerjulia False advertising Overall 3 night stay was good, however, we were quite put off @ the beginning, as the website clearly states complimentary self parking. We had sent a message to the hotel in advance of our arrival stating that we would be checking in late. However, when we arrived, we were told our only option would be to valet park($32/day). When we expressed our disappointment we were met with "all the other hotels in the area charge," as well as "our self parking is first come first serve- we would be happy to discount your valet for you at 50% off! " -found out later that 15/day is still quite a high rate to pay, given the location. We realized that there are around 45-50 stalls for self park whereas there are countless stalls for valet...felt a bit scammed. Despite the fact that this was a small issue, we were disappointed with the lack of principle, and felt a bit let down. July 6, 2014

The Massey-Ferguson plow in this photo has been modified from 4 bottoms to 3. You can see the wheel extension we made to so it works with 3 bottoms. When I get a bigger tractor - we can put #4 back on and go to town.

The Kurdish Globe
Nawzad Hadi, the Governor of Erbil, highlights the governorate's projects and activities
Globe: Erbil is a candidate for the title of the tourist capital of the Arab countries, what are your programs to gain this accolade?
Hadi: The Tourism Ministry in Baghdad has made this decision because Erbil has witnessed a number of quality changes in terms of economic infrastructure and all other aspects and has developed in the past few years in terms of roads, streets, parks, shopping malls and enjoys the best situation compared to all other Iraqi cities for Iraq to contest among other Arab cities for this competition to become the 2014 Arab Tourism Capital.
Globe: What are your projects and steps in the future?
Hadi: The projects are implemented according to the city's master plan on an annual basis. We can see that Erbil grows in a planned and healthy way and by correct and accurate steps. Things are not built and destructed later. Every time we emphasize on the master plan, which decides how the city expands, where the streets are constructed, whereabouts of commercial buildings, which are the locations designated for industrial or residential projects. To implement the master plan, we have annual investment projects. The private sector currently has a very active participation in the development pace.
Globe: What are your strategic projects for this year?
Hadi: If we take the roads and bridges sector, the Erbil-Haji Omaran Dual-Passageway Project is one of our largest projects of this year. It starts with the Pirmam Tunnel and it costs USD 178 million. The Haji Omaran -- Choman road is also being constructed with a budget of USD 40 million. All of these are currently being implemented. Harir -- Choman Road, which is very important for connecting the region with Iran in terms of promoting trade activities and stimulating economic development , has also been designed by the Ministry of Reconstruction and Housing. Moreover, the Erbil-Koya highway project, which is one of the major projects, is being implemented by a Romanian company.
The work at the Qandil Bridge is at the final stages and will complete this year, and we have now announced the Gopal Bridge project near the Ifraz area that connects Erbil and Koya and saves travelers 40-minutes' drive.
The Erbil-Makhmour dual-passageway has been paved to Pirwadood Village, and the second phase from Pirwadood up to Dibaga is under construction. This is a brief of our road projects.
Regarding water projects, the Pirmam-Shaqlawa water project will be complete by the end of next month, and by that time the water wells of Pirmam, Kore, Shaqlawa and Bastora will be closed. Water will be brought to Kore, Pirmam, Bastora, Shaqlawa and Hujran from the Greater Zab. The Ifraz Four project of Erbil is also one of the projects the design of which had been completed last year and is about to be implemented by the Ministry of Municipalities and Tourism. The capacity of the project is 20,000 cubic meter of water per hour and brings water from the Greater Zab through the Tarin area. This will supply water to a number of neighborhoods in Erbil including New Erbil, Sebardan, Kasnazan Subdistrict, Shawais, Mala Omar to the north and northeast of Erbil, and to the east Ayinda Compound, Hasarok 8, Lawan, Binaslawa Subdistrict, Qalai Nwe till Daratoo. This is because in these areas the level of underground water has dropped, but Ifraq 4 will supply water to all these areas.
Globe: What will be the benefit of the green belt of Erbil, which is being planned for?
Hadi: The basic design of the project has been completed, which is the master plan for the green belt. When announced, the major part of it will be implemented by the private sector through owners of the lands covered by the plan. The government cannot implement all of it, hence people and the private sector should also participate. This project adds a significant amount of green area to the capital. The trees planted will be fruit trees.
Globe: What is the percentage of green areas in Erbil now?
Hadi: We should consider Erbil's green area in terms of circles, the circle from the citadel to the 60 meter ring-road, from the 60 meter ring-road to the 100 meter ring-road and then from there to the outside of the city. If we look at the inside of the 60 meter street with all the projects implemented and being implemented, it shows that we are implementing to a standard that emphasizes the existence of green areas.
Globe: When will you start the other phases of the master plan?
Hadi: Everywhere from the Erbil Governorate till the Ministry of health will be destructed and will become a vacant land and turned into a green area. In the next few months the building of the Court will be completed and all the judicial institutions in this area will be transferred to the new building, and the old institutions will be destroyed and greenery will replace old concrete buildings.

Environmental group, ratepayers push back on PSNH rate hike
In a motion filed with the PUC on Jan. 28, the Conservation Law Foundation and the ratepayers ask the commission to reopen hearings and revoke a 34-percent increase in PSNH's energy service rate, granted on Dec. 28.
The environmental group claims PSNH was not eligible for a rate increase because it failed to meet a September 2012 deadline for a long-range planning document required by law to prove that the company is pursing the lowest cost options. The company last filed a "least cost integrated resource plan" in September 2010.
In an order issued on Jan. 29, the PUC accepted the resource plan filed in 2010, and granted PSNH an extension to September 2013 for the mandatory biennial update.
"The PUC had a case that started in 2010, with final briefings in June of 2012, that they didn't act on for seven months," said Jonathan Peress, head of CLF's Clean Energy and Climate Change program, in regard to the resource plan review. "Then the day after we file this motion for a rehearing, they issue a decision ... I think it's curious."
A PUC spokesperson responded that the order on the long-range plan is unrelated to the CLF filing.
Even though the utility now technically has a long-range plan on record accepted by the PUC, Peress said his group's motion still stands.
He said the PSNH resource plan was not approved at the time its rate hikes were implemented, and it is still not fully approved despite the Jan. 29 PUC order, which acknowledges that continued operation of coal-fired plants in Newington and Bow were not addressed.
"The commission will issue a companion order on issues relating to (continued operation) for Newington and other PSNH generating units at a later date," the order states.
"Here's the bottom line," Peress said, "PSNH's expensive, inefficient and dirty power generation is needlessly extracting hundreds of millions of dollars from ratepayers for the profits of shareholders. The commission has an opportunity to address this again through our appeal. Thus far, they seem somewhat reluctant. They've had no less than five dockets in which they could address this issue (of the coal-fired plants), and they continue to defer."
PSNH spokesman Martin Murray cited the company's response, which states, "The motion is nothing more than a re-assertion of prior arguments that were rejected by the commission."
He said the least-cost plan was pending at the PUC while the energy service charge was being considered, and the PUC was authorized to approve the increase while the review was under way.
"The CLF is trying to broadcast a flawed legal theory that the PUC has previously considered and rejected," he said.
Separate investigation
The PUC on Jan. 18 did open an investigation into whether PSNH can provide competitive electric rates to its customers. The order opening the investigation acknowledged that market conditions have changed significantly since a 2003 law was passed allowing PSNH to retain generating plants.
The regulatory agency on Dec. 28 approved a PSNH energy service charge of 9.54 cents per kilowatt hour for the first half of 2013, up from the 2012 energy charge of 7.11 cents per kwh.
The increase in the energy service charge will be offset to a degree by a significant reduction in the charge for stranded cost recovery, designed to compensate PSNH for costs brought about by deregulation of the energy industry in New Hampshire.
The stranded cost recovery charge was approved at .737 cents per kwh, compared to 1.88 cents per kwh in 2012. A customer using 500 kilowatt hours per month will see their total monthly bill go up from $86.35 to $92.43, an increase of about 7 percent.
With natural gas prices at historic lows, competitive energy suppliers have been undercutting the PSNH energy charge for months, causing a large number to make the switch. As the PSNH energy charge goes to 9.54 cents per kwh, competitors like ENH are offering energy rates at 7.28 cents per kwh.
By the end of last year, 47,191 PSNH customers, or nearly 10 percent of its customer base, had switched to unregulated competitors for their energy supply. PSNH still makes money on transmission and stranded costs.
Nearly 50 percent of all the energy PSNH transmits to residential and commercial users is now provided by competitors, triggering alarm at the PUC over continued "customer migration" that leaves a smaller and smaller portion of the market with a growing portion of PSNH costs.
The New Hampshire ratepayers joining the CLF in its motion for rehearing on the PSNH energy rate are Alexandra and James Dannis of Dalton; William Hopwood of Elkins; Janet Ward of Contoocook; Amy Matheson of North Hampton; and George Chase of Hopkinton.

We gather today on the occasion of the 80th Commencement of the Dominican School of Philosophy and Theology to celebrate our students who have completed their course of study with us and to honor them by the conferral of degrees. To appreciate the significance of their accomplishment we can do no better than to have recourse to our teacher and mentor, St. Thomas Aquinas.
In his Summa Theologiae (II-II, 188, 5) St. Thomas asks whether a religious order should be founded for the sake of study. I suspect that it will not prove to be a source of astonishment to us that he answers yes, but only after having entertained three objections: First, that religious life should be a school of perfection, but a gloss on Psalm 71 suggests that it is more perfect to praise God in ignorance than it is to be learned; second, that study leads to dissent, as has been manifested in the many disagreements among schools of philosophy, and dissent has no place in religious life; and third, that no believer should profess the same things as do unbelievers, but studies tend to lead to just that.
In the face of these objections, St. Thomas holds that study is entirely fitting to a religious order, precisely because religious life is a school of perfection: First, study enlightens the intellect and removes obstacles to the contemplation of God which is, after all, the highest reason for religious life; second, study is essential to preaching, which is to convert, not only hearts but minds, by means of the truth; third, the discipline of study requires a virtuous life, by which we tame the passions. To the objections, Thomas replies that the gloss referenced in the first objection refers only to the letter of the law which, St. Paul says, kills; in other words, there is no warrant to hold that scripture prefers ignorance to learning; to the second he replies that study itself does not lead to dissent, but only study without charity, whereby one is made proud; to the third he suggests that any focus of study, even of non-believers, is appropriate so long as in our study we seek better to understand the Truth revealed to us in Christ.
The Church, of course, has recognized an order for the sake of preaching and study: it is the Dominican Order (our formal name is the Order of Preachers) and our students have pursued their studies in light of the charism of the Order –which is to preach: to convert by means of the Truth. Our students do not all become Dominicans, but through study each has imbibed something of the spirit of the Order:
A freedom to pursue a disinterested inquiry after the truth of things precisely because we are at the service of the One who is the Truth and nothing that is true can be far from him and, therefore, an openness to the truth wherever it is to be found, regardless of the source; a conviction that study is not futile, that we can achieve to real insight by means of our intelligence, most especially when it is illumined by faith; a confidence whereby we can entertain the questions even of those who appear to be hostile to the faith, because their questions are helpful to us to grow in understanding of what we have received; a generosity of spirit and the courage to pursue the truth even and especially when it is arduous; the hope –that is, the confident expectation– that, in our drive to understand and to speak we are responding to the call of God himself.
These dispositions are evidence of the charism of the Order and we expect that they will continue to be manifest in the life of our graduates: through a commitment to learning that is lifelong; through an ability to probe deeply into whatever matter is at hand; through exercising leadership, particularly in the formulation of the questions with which our society must contend; through a confidence in what they now see and in what Providence has ordained that they will come to see; through a willingness to speak what they they have learned for the sake of others.
As we confer upon our graduates the degrees for which they have studied we will, certainly, be acknowledging their accomplishment. The program here is rigorous. But, much more, we will be conferring upon them a commission to continue the work that they have begun with us. When members of our Order make their religious profession it is our custom to pray that the Lord will bring to completion the good work that he has begun in them. Let this, also, be the prayer that we offer for the sake of our graduates –and of every member of the DSPT community.

EAU CLAIRE (WAOW) - SPASH grad Cody Koback of the Wisconsin Rapids Rafters and Wisconsin Woodchucks pitcher Jayson McClaren will represent their teams on the South Division All-Star team at tonight's Northwoods League All-Star Game in Eau Claire. McClaren will not pitch because of tightness in his throwing arm. Woodchucks star Brandon King was also voted to the team, but has already left the league to resume his college career.
Russ Owens caught up with Koback and McClaren, who are both thrilled to be a part of the festivities.

Lucky for Carl he had put up his camera before he left, so he was filming his latest adventure. What you see here is Carl explaining to his drunk bbw, how he wants her to sit.

The data explosion gains momentum with each passing day, and the storage solutions that help us wrangle our increasing mountains of information grow more and more complex. As I mentioned in my blog a few weeks ago, that complexity can only decrease overall reliability as more and more lines of hastily written code drive the most critical portions of our infrastructure.
All of this puts a much more critical focus on the support that your storage vendor provides. Instead of seeing a broken drive or controller that just needs replacing, I often run across problems in the field that turn out to be software bugs requiring engineering input to diagnose and resolve.
[ Also on InfoWorld.com: Learn how data deduplication can slow the explosive growth of data with Keith Schultz's Deep Dive Report. | Looking to revise your storage strategy? See InfoWorld's iGuide to the Enterprise Data Explosion. ]
While we're becoming more and more dependent on vendor support to keep the infrastructure humming, the quality and reliability of that support itself seems less and less likely to live up to our expectations.
The way support should work
Though I had to go outside IT to find a great example -- which says something in itself -- I recently had a great experience that reminded me of what enterprise support should be.
A few nights ago, I got home from a long day on the road. As I was heading inside, I noticed an enormous puddle of transmission fluid underneath the front of my truck -- bad news. A quick check showed that there was literally no fluid in the transmission; I was lucky to have made it home at all. One thing was clear: That truck wasn't going anywhere on its own.
Given that it was late at night, there wasn't really anyone I could call, so I dropped an email to my mechanic, let him know what had happened, and asked for advice. First thing in the morning, he called me on my cell phone and said that, based on my description of the problem, he knew what was broken and what the solution would be. He had already dispatched a tow truck to pick it up that morning and would probably have it ready to return to me by the end of the day. He was true to his word.
That kind of above-and-beyond service is rare in any situation, but it is exactly what we should expect from the vendors supporting the mission-critical storage infrastructure on which our entire businesses are built. A direct, knowledgeable response from a known contact with a clear action plan and a set time for problem resolution are key components of superb support.

Awards for Ilkley officers who faced raiders on Burley Post Office
7:00am Saturday 5th April 2014 in News By Amanda Greaves, Reporter
A police constable and police community support officer (PCSO) have been commended for their role in tackling robbers who struck at a Wharfedale post office.
PC Tim Brown and PCSO Darrin Thompson, based at Ilkley police station, were both injured as they grappled with hammer-wielding attackers during the raid on Burley-in-Wharfedale Post Office, Station Road, last April, and succeeded in capturing one of the robbers.
The two officers have been presented with Chief Constable's Commendations in recognition of their actions in tackling the robbers.
Members of the public were also commended by West Yorkshire Police, in the awards ceremony at Wakefield in February, for flagging down police and tackling the robbers.
PC Brown and PCSO Thompson were in a car flagged down in Burley by concerned member of the public, Marcus McLeod, on April 15 last year.
When he went into the shop, PCSO Thompson was confronted by two men in balaclavas, one wielding a sledgehammer, who were in the process of robbing the post office.
PCSO Thompson took hold of one of the men, who tried to strike him with the sledge hammer. As he continued to grapple with the man, the struggle spilled out into the street.
The second suspect, brandishing a lump hammer, attacked PCSO Thompson, repeatedly striking him, in an attempt to free his accomplice.
Mr McLeod rushed in and rugby tackled one man.
Both men broke free and started to make toward a getaway car parked nearby, the getaway driver revving the engine loudly.
PC Brown grabbed the man with the lump hammer and grappled him to the ground, where he and PCSO Thomson arrested and handcuffed him.
Another public spirited person, who asked not be named, attempted to stop the man with the sledgehammer getting into the getaway car, but was knocked to the ground by the car as it drove away.
The two officers, Mr McLeod and the other man all suffered injuries as a result of the incident – but fortunately there were no serious injuries, said West Yorkshire Police.
West Yorkshire Police said the suspect arrested at the scene had a long history of committing violent robberies. The second suspect, later identified and arrested, also has previous convictions for robbery.

Achieving productivity in a mobile world: How to stay on top of your work while in constant motion
Be honest with yourself for a minute: how many intelligent devices do you own? Probably several: A desktop computer, a laptop or both; a phone, a tablet, perhaps a couple of each; and yes, you've got one of those microwaves that reads you the news every morning (let's not go there right now). Now, how many different apps do you have that count as a news source, a reading platform, a file storage platform, or an authoring or content-creating platform? A zillion. (For the sake of playing along, I just counted up the apps on my iPhone, and I've got – really – 21 different apps that serve to deliver or store content for me. That's not including the apps I've got on my Android tablet, let alone the vast world that opens up to me when I'm at my laptop.)
The fact is, most of us in this tech-crazy, content consuming world have many, many different ways to store, save, and savor our information, and we can do it from just about anywhere with a decent wireless or WiFi signal. The mobile platforms we use daily (phone, tablet, laptop) might allow us to get more work done than ever before, because we can do our work in a cab, on a train, or standing in line waiting for our next gadget to be released. But what if we could do our work without subscribing to, say, 21 different applications? What if there was a simple system that we could use to get actual, bona fide work done without taking a voice memo to transcribe later on, or writing an email reminder to ourselves on a tiny keyboard?
Enter Adobe's Document Services.
We've been working maniacally back here at the mothership to support a mobile mode of working that constitutes getting real work done: real contracts getting signed, real forms being filled and sent, real comments made on digital documents – no matter where you are. With Adobe's Document Services, such as Adobe EchoSign, Adobe FormsCentral, and the Acrobat.com cloud storage system, you can hit the road with nothing but your favorite tablet and be sure that you won't miss a deal for having left your laptop at home. Here's just one example: Adobe EchoSign's mobile app lets you upload documents and send them off to be signed; you can even use the Adobe Reader application to fill out a form and apply your signature to a PDF document before you send it off for another signature with the EchoSign app. Even better, your account activity is tracked even when you're on a mobile device so no information about the transaction is lost; when you sign into your account from another computer, you'll see all of your activity has been securely transcribed for your records.
Okay, great, you're saying; signatures on mobile devices sound awesome. But what if you've got a 150-page PDF document that you're reading or reviewing in Adobe Reader on your laptop, and you've suddenly got to leave the house before you're done reading? No problem: save the document to your Acrobat.com account, and access it from your phone while you're on the bus to wherever you're going; when you open the document from Acrobat.com, your place has been saved and you can pick up right where you left off while in transit.
We know how fast things move these days, and we know how fast you're moving, too; Adobe's Document Services and mobile applications help you stay on top of things even when you're only at your desk for 30 minutes a day. Download the free Adobe Reader app for iOS and Android devices, and see how much more efficient you become next time you're sitting in a waiting room or in a coffee shop. We think you may even be able to delete some of those extra apps.

Proposed occupation tax to be discussed again by Gering council
The Gering city council Monday night will remove from the table the first reading of an ordinance that would place a 3% occupation tax on telephone and telecommunications companies. Council members say the proceeds from the tax, estimated to be around $60,000 annually, would be used to pay the city's portion of the cost for upgrades to the county's enhanced 911 system.
The council has already faced opposition from telecommunications representatives who say the idea would just be a backdoor way of placing the tax on cell phone and land line users. Benjamion Backus with Actions Communications also maintained the ordinance needed language clarifications because as proposed it was possible services other than phones, for example DISH network customers, could be taxed.
Councilman Dan Smith said the increase would mean people like him with close to half a dozen phones would see a substantial increase in their bill. Matt Larsen with Vistabeam said the tax would be a logistics nightmare for billing, adding costs and possibly increase customer rates.
The council will also consider formally entering into contract negotiations with a group headed up by Gering businessman Sal Munoz to operate the Monument Shadows Golf Course restaurant.

Daniel and Ellie recently rescued a father and his 3-year-old daughter after they got lost in the woods near George Weaver Drive and River Road.
The man called 911 around 7:40 p.m. on March 31 after he lost his bearings while taking a walk near his home.
Daniel and Ellie found the pair approximately a mile and a half from where they had entered the woods. Both were uninjured.
The search lasted approximately one hour.
"That was her first 'find' that wasn't training related," Daniel said.
Daniel added that he is not aware of any other department in the area that currently has a tracking dog at its disposal.
In addition to Daniel and Ellie, CPD has a narcotics dog that was added to the force in October.
Officer Tony Reid is the partner for Sea Doo, a 4-year-old Belgian Malinois owned by the city.
Ellie is a German Shepherd-Labrador mix and belongs to Daniel.
Sea Doo works every shift with Reid, but Ellie is only called in as the need arises.
"It's an asset to have a dog that we can utilize if somebody goes missing or wanders away from home as in this case," Chief Nick Smith said.
Smith also commended Daniel for the dedication he has shown since joining the reserve program last year.
"Alex has done a really good job with us. He has a lot of certifications that he brings to the table, and we have gotten him some other training along the way," Smith said.
