Nicely Balanced...
Redish brown deep color with a light head
Aroma is light and simple which is confusing once you take a drink..
Bourbon barrel aged just enough to come across but not over take the
hints of Vanilla and dark fruits..its really the best of both worlds.
the taste makes me wish it was thicker..
Great Brew.. If you can stop in and try it!!!

A - Dirty brown looking beer with a bit of a head on it. Moderate retention, good spots left on the sides.
S - On the sweeter side with some caramel malts, vanilla, bourbon, and oak. Would prefer some hop addition or more toasted notes to cut into it a little bit.
T - It's a sweet barleywine, with caramel, vanilla, oak, molasses, little dark fruit. Once again, would prefer some hop bite on the end to cut into the sweetness, but it's solid. There is more alcohol here than I was guessing from the nose, and it does help a little bit.
M - Medium bodied, moderate carbonation.
O - Good beer, went down pretty easily, although I like them less on the sweet side. Would definitely drink this again. Although there is som alcohol, at 13% it is entirely acceptable, and not bad.

On draft on site served in a tulip glass for 10 bills. Murky ass brown....no appeal to stink it as it resembles dirty sewer water. However , nice times of caramel and vanilla persuade me to have a drink. God carbonation for such a high alcohol beer , sweet, a lil vanilla detected. No lacing on my glass. A good beer to have , dis not drink like a 13% beer. Have it while u can, request it if u dint see it on the menu.

S- Brown sugar, toffee, vanilla, bourbon.--
T- toasted malts, Brown sugar, dark fruits, vanilla, bourbon, and some light pine.
M- full body and medium carbonation. Thick and syrupy, marked it down a tick because there is some heat.

Enjoyed on tap at FOBAB. Served in a my FOBAB taster glass.
A: Pours a dark ruby color with a light khaki head. It recedes slowly to a thin film and ring.
S: Dark fruits, smooth bourbon and sweet caramel malts. It's not out of this world, but it is good and blends nicely together.
T: The taste is much better. Sweet bourbon with some oak. Caramel and toffee malts with a milk chocolate sweetness. Some semi-bitter cocoa, dark fruits and a nice roasted malt presence as well.
M: Medium high body with a medium low carbonation. Very smooth and creamy.
O: I definitely enjoyed this beer. Even after all the great beers enjoyed at FOBAB this beer still stood out as winner.

I'm not a big BW fine, but this was pretty tasty. Dirty orange/brown pour with a big head.... Not a lot on the nose, but a pretty rich, malty punch in the mouth... the alcohol is NOT playing hide and seek here... Definitely one to take your time with..and you may need more than one pizza to pad the belly. Enjoy

On-tap at the pub for its "barleywine" release... Pours a dark medium murky body, doesn't look nearly as good as the crisp clear regular version... The aroma is super sweet, lots of vanilla and sweet bourbon, hint of oak, smells great but a touch sweet. Stronger oak or alcohol would help balance this a bit... The taste is good, not as good as the nose though. Some of the heat of the bourbon is gone, lots of vanilla, molasses, and oak... Really light mouthfeel but this is crushable.
A very sweet ba bw but its good and drinkable.

text: Get to Know Pear Varieties by POPSUGAR Food 10/08/08 5 Reactions 5 Shares Print 0 4 1 0 0 We're well into pear season, and if it wasn't obvious to you already, pears — much like apples — come in many different shapes and colors. Can you tell one from the other? I'll walk you through the different varieties of pears and their differences in taste, texture, and flavor. Let's begin! Comice What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Comice (pronounced "co-MEECE") pears are uniquely shaped with a rotund body and a short neck. They are thin-skinned and green in color, sometimes with red blush areas. The variety is succulent, creamy, and very sweet. Comice pears have earned special recognition as the Christmas pear, often starring in holiday gift baskets. Source: USA Pears 1 / 7 Bosc What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Bosc pears have a crunchier, crisper bite than their relatives. They are recognized by their golden-colored skin, and long, curved neck. Because of their spicier, firmer flesh, bosc pears are more ideal for baking, broiling, or poaching than other varieties, and are less likely to be overwhelmed by spices. Source 2 / 7 Anjou What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 The most abundant variety in the US, the anjou (pronounced "ON-ju") pear is available almost year-round. These pears, which are of French origin, have an egg-shaped body, a green skin, and a juicy, soft flesh. Unlike some other types of pears, anjous do not change color as they ripen, and remain green even when fully ripe. Source 3 / 7 Red Anjou What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Red anjou pears possess the same characteristics as green anjou pears, with the exception of color. Red anjous have a deep maroon color and a mild, sweet, juicy flavor when ripe. Source: USA Pears 4 / 7 Yellow Bartlett What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 This familiar variety has a rounded bell shape and the definitive flavor that most people would describe of a pear. Yellow Bartletts are the first pears to be harvested every season. They have a smooth texture and sweet flavor, and their skin color turns from green to yellow when they are ripe. They're excellent for canning, and are often dried or found in preserves, syrups, and chutneys. Source 6 / 7 Asian What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 There are several varieties of Asian pears, all of which are firm to touch when ripe, and do not bruise as easily as their pear counterparts. They are crisp and juicy, with a sweeter, mellower flavor and a floral smell. They are also called by many other names: apple pears, salad pears, nashi pears, or Chinese pears. Source 6 / 7 Red Bartlett What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Red Bartlett pears are identical to their yellow counterparts in every way except color. As they ripen, they often change in color from dark red to a bright red hue. Because of their vivid tone, they make a striking statement in a fruit display.

Help us customize your newsletter by selecting your interests (optional): Tech Home Love & Sex DIY Sherwood2510785 2 years Comice are the only pears that can beat Bartlett for taste...where they fall down is in their thick, tough skin...if somebody says they are 'thin-skinned,' well...Bartletts must have no skin at all...worth wading through the skin to get succulent flesh, though...mmmm... ilanac13 5 years i used to think that all pears were alike and then i realized that like apples, they have different colors and therefore different tastes. thank you for sharing this since i've learned even more about the different ones that i knew by name only. it just reminds me of a SATC episode where samantha goes out with the guy (turtle) who spends all this time trying to figure out what type of pear is in his dish.

Longtime Florida Congressman Bill Young is in "guarded" condition after being hospitalized in Washington D.C. for a back injury, his family said.
Young's family issued a statement saying his condition turned for the worse overnight, and that he is gravely ill.
FOX 13's John Wilson is a close friend of Young. The family says Young made it through the night but is still not responsive this morning.
Reports had emerged on social media that Young had died Thursday; his staff and family quickly came out and said the reports were untrue.
Rep. Young, 82, has represented parts of Florida's west coast in the House of Representatives since 1971. He recently announced in that he was retiring from Congress, and after that, praise for his service came in from both sides of the aisle.
Young is the third most senior member of the House, tied with Rep. Charles Rangel (D-NY).

Time Out says
Posted: Thu Apr 5 2012
The venerable epicurean extravaganza returns the weekend of April 6, spending Saturdays in Williamsburg's East River State Park (enter at North 7th Street) and Sundays in Brooklyn Bridge Park at the walled-in, open-air Tobacco Warehouse through the summer. The 2013 iteration features returning vendors such as comfort-food maestro Buttermilk Channel, offering its beloved fried chicken and cheddar waffles. Welcome newbies like Vermont's Rockville Market Farm, peddling breakfast gorditas ($5) with farm-made sausage, eggs, butternut-squash hot sauce and Shelburne Farms cheddar wrapped in a double tortilla; they'll also be hawking farm-fresh eggs by the carton ($5 for a dozen). Last year saw the debut of Smorgasbar, an all-weather outdoor bar within the market, and though the beercentric watering hole won't open until May or June, expect an expansion of offerings from breweries beyond Kings County. Visit smorgasburg.com for more information.

In 2004, Mark Barr competed in his first Paralympic Games, earning two fourth-place finishes in the 100m butterfly and the 400m free. Finishing one spot short of a medal has served as a motivator for Barr, particularly in the 100m fly. After setting a new American record in the event late in 2005, he set a new Pan American record at the 2006 U.S. Paralympics Swimming National Championships and again later that year at the IPC Swimming World Championships, where he won a silver medal in the event.
Barr lost his leg to a tumor when he was 14 years old. He had been swimming competitively since he was four years old and, up until his amputation, also played baseball and soccer. While going through chemotherapy, Barr was introduced to Paralympic swimming as a way of cheering him up and he has gone on to become a strong member of the U.S. Paralympics Swimming National Team.
In June 2008, while preparing for Beijing, Barr had his appendix removed. Despite the setback, Barr continued to train and headed to Beijing to compete in six events, including the 100m butterfly S9.
Barr is a student at California Polytechnic University and a member of the swim team, in addition to being a volunteer assistant swim coach for age group swimmers in the evenings. In his spare time, he enjoys jamming on the guitar and playing golf and football. His two older brothers share his love for swimming and also play soccer.
Major Achievements:
In just two years as a paratriathlete, Mark Barr is already world-class
After only two years in paratriathlon, Mark Barr is already world class

INDIANAPOLIS — Jaguars owner Shad Khan has spoken about the Jaguars' self-image being delusional regarding their expectations last season that ended in a 2-14 campaign and a change of power in the front office.
New GM David Caldwell took to the podium at the Combine to clear up those comments.
"The delusional part came from the amount of money they spent in free agency last year thinking they may be one or two pieces away and then to come back and have the end result be a 2-14 season," Caldwell said. "There is a good core of players here that we feel good about. We have our work cut out for us. We're going to have a very young team this season, and it's going to be built through the draft and through college free agency."
That last point is worth digging deeper into. The Jaguars have 13 unrestricted free agents come March 12. There's a chance that the majority of them will not be back in Jacksonville, even perhaps the most coveted of the bunch, CB Derek Cox.
The Jaguars are flush with salary-cap space; that's not the issue. The issue is improving the overall talent of the roster, which needs a boost. Any veteran casualties that occur will be based on talent, not financial reasons.
"There are no changes coming that are financial, the changes will be based on performance," Caldwell said.
It would not be shocking if the Jaguars are even younger in 2013 than they were last season. Caldwell stressed that "the veterans are important" and said the team has reached out to C Brad Meester, who could return on a one-year type of deal in the final stages of his career. The leadership quotient will be important, but Caldwell said that "the most important thing is to get the talent in there and guys that are committed to playing and competing (regardless of age)."
New head coach Gus Bradley made his defensive system thrive in Seattle with long-limbed and taller corners, namely Richard Sherman and Brandon Browner. Caldwell said those components could be an important piece of how the Jaguars' defense is formed going forward.
"The main thing is Gus will never sacrifice speed and aggression for scheme," Caldwell said. "It's going to be a fast and very aggressive defense. That's the main thing, and the fact we can plug in and play with young talent."
The pass rush has been an issue for several years in Jacksonville, and the team was ranked dead last in sacks in 2012. Caldwell knows he and the team have to find solutions to this chronic problem, but they also can't overreach for needs if the talent isn't commensurate with the spot they are drafting at.
"What you need to do, you can't be too overly urgent trying to fix a problem and reach in the draft or reach in free agency," Caldwell said. "You have to be patient and when the opportunity presents itself to get a difference maker at a position and you need to be able to strike."
If there's something that long-suffering Jaguars fans can get behind as fresh and new, it's that the Jaguars appear to be at the forefront of using Sabermetrics as a scouting tool. Caldwell described the statistical analysis as another tool the team can use to determine the best talent fits, but he also agreed that it was an important one.
"It's something we're heavily involved in and dealing with right now," he said. "It's just another part of the process – it can help us confirm some of the things we already know and can raise some red flags on some of the things we don't know. It pretty much confirms what we're seeing."
The Jaguars appear to be entering yet another phase in their existence. The roster is not up to snuff, at the top or bottom, and change is once more coming down the avenue. Expect rookies to make up a large part of the roster next season.

The premise of the SAFE California Act is to "modify" the death penalty by replacing it with Life Without the Possibility of Parole (LWOP.) The public will once again vote on how they wish to execute the so-called "worst of the worst": either death by lethal injection, or death by long term incarceration. The act would also transfer $100 million to law enforcement.

New Canopies Approved for Cleveland Park Metro Station
(File Number 6200)
The Commission approved preliminary and final site and building plans for a modified canopy design to be installed above the east and west entrances of the Cleveland Park Metro Station. For this station, the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority adjusted the standard canopy design—approved by the Commission in 2003—to complement the narrow sidewalks and small-scale historic buildings along Connecticut Avenue. The canopy form, which is reminiscent of the well-recognized coffered ceiling vaults of the interior of the Metro stations, will appear identical to other metro canopies in material, structure, and installation.

NCPC Reviews Proposed Street and Alley Closings
(File Number 6632)
The District of Columbia is proposing the closure of several L'Enfant streets in Southeast Washington, D.C. to permit the construction of a new ballpark facility for the Washington Nationals baseball team. The involved streets include Half Street, O Street, P Street, Potomac Avenue, and all public alleys in Squares 702-706 and in U.S. Reservation 247. The Commission determined that the proposed closures would adversely affect the L'Enfant Plan and federal interests that relate to protecting and maintaining the L'Enfant Plan. The Commission also made the following specific comments on the proposal:
• Closing portions of Half Street, O Street, P Street, and Potomac Avenue should take effect only if the ballpark is located within the 19.75-acre property situated adjacent to South Capitol Street and Potomac Avenue.
• The D.C. Sports and Entertainment Commission should consult with the Historic Preservation Review Board and adopt any mitigation recommendations by the Board.
• The stadium design should maintain and enhance ground-level pedestrian views along the Potomac Avenue; and pedestrian entrances to the stadium should be located at the terminal points of O and P Streets along South Capitol Street.
• To minimize unbroken expanses of the stadium wall, retail space should be used along the South Capitol Street side of the stadium.
Before the land is transferred for the purpose of establishing a ballpark, the District should agree on a covenant to re-establish Half Street, O Street, P Street, and Potomac Avenue in their original locations—according to the L'Enfant Plan—in the future, at such time as the site no longer serves as a ballpark use.
See the Commission Action and Staff Recommendation
Zoning Amendment Allows Relocation of Asphalt Plant
(File Number Z.C. 05-20)
The D.C. Zoning Commission submitted to NCPC a proposal that would allow asphalt plants as a permitted use within C-M (commercial/light manufacturing) and M (heavy industry) zone districts subject to special exception review. Asphalt plants are not currently permitted in any zone, but the proposed amendment would allow a plant already located on P Street, SE to relocate to a parcel within D.C. Village. The move would make the site on which the plant is currently located available for constructing a new stadium. As part of its review, the Commission advised against permitting asphalt plants in areas that could adversely affect federal interests; and advised the District to undertake an environmental review under the D.C. Environmental Policy Act of 1989 and add a definition to the text for "asphalt plant" and "concrete plant." The Commission recommended that the text amendment include a protection of the vista from the Anacostia Freeway and its viewshed to the north by minimizing visibility of any portion of the asphalt plant facility or equipment from the freeway. The Commission noted that evergreen trees could be used to screen the western and southern edges of the site.
See the Commission Action and Staff Recommendation
Technical Amendment Corrects Authority Reference
(File Number 2598)
The Commission adopted a technical amendment that corrects errors referencing NCPC's authority to review antenna placements. NCPC's authority should be referred to as "Provisions in Section 5 of the National Capital Planning Act of 1952, as amended" in NCPC's "Guidelines and Submission Requirements for Antennas on Federal Property in the National Capital Region" and in related documents.
See the Commission Action and Staff Recommendation

Samsung Heavy Industries announced this week that it will build a wind farm off the coast of Jeju Island in Korea, in cooperation with Korea Southern Power Co. (KOSPO). The wind farm with a capacity to generate 84 megawatts of electricity will be Korea's first offshore wind farm.
To build the wind farm, Samsung Heavy Industries will set up 12 7-megawatt wind power turbines. The Samsung-developed 7-megawatt turbine boasts the world's largest capacity and also lasts 25 years, longer than the average 20 years most turbines last.
What makes it more special is that Samsung Heavy Industries was awarded this project on an EPCI (Engineering, Procurement, Construction and Installation) order, meaning it will be responsible for managing the entire project. Once again, Samsung Heavy Industries has proven itself to be a one-stop provider of services related to wind power generation.
Generating energy with wind out on the sea
The construction of the plant in Jeju is expected to be completed by the end of 2014 and commercial operations to begin in 2015. KOSPO plans to expand the wind farm's capacity to 200 megawatts in the future.
In meeting the growing global demand for wind power in line with each government's pursuit for clean energy, Samsung Heavy Industries agreed in January to build a wind turbine plant in Fife, Scotland. In July, Samsung Heavy Industries built an engineering center in Hamburg, Germany, for developing key technologies for the industry.
Samsung Heavy Industry expects Europe's wind power market to more than double to $30 billion by 2020 from the current $13.5 billion.

News: Michael Jackson Breaks Sales Records In Death, Decades Of Music Crashes Charts
Wednesday, Jul 1, 2009 11:27AM
Less than a week after Michael Jackson's passing, the iconic singer's record sales have sky rocketed atop the Billboard charts, breaking records along the way.
Early estimates show his past music selling by the thousands.
The King of Pop's Number Ones will fittingly lead the pack at No. 1 with 108,000 (an increase of 2,340%) while The Essential Michael Jackson and Thriller are in the Nos. 2 and 3 slots with 102,000 and 101,000, respectively. Additionally, his classic 1979 studio set Off the Wall re-enters at No. 4 with 33,000 while his 1987 album Bad returns at No. 6 with 17,000. At No. 5, the Jackson 5's The Ultimate Collection debuts with 18,000. Jackson's fourth studio album for Epic Records, 1991's Dangerous, re-enters at No. 7 with 14,000 while his 2001 compilation Greatest Hits: HIStory -- Volume 1 also comes back to the list at No. 8 with 12,000. Finally, Jackson's 2004 box set The Ultimate Collection charts its first week on the Pop Catalog chart, arriving at No. 9 with 11,000. (Billboard)
While Jackson clearly out-sold all releases for the week, he will not appear on Billboard's Top 200 official listing.
Thriller, The Essential Michael Jackson and Number Ones are each expected to top the six-figure mark and take the top three slots on the magazine?s Top Pop Catalog chart, which tracks ongoing sales of albums that are at least 18 months old. Such albums are not eligible to appear on Billboard?s Top 200 Albums ranking, but sales of Jackson?s albums figure to exceed the top-selling current release, the Black Eyed Peas? The E.N.D. (Los Angeles Times)
The late singer also dominated in digital downloads.
A remarkable 2.6 million songs by Mr. Jackson as a solo act or with the Jackson 5 were downloaded digitally through last Sunday, the standard end of the sales week of the SoundScan tracking service, upon whose numbers Billboard bases its charts. (Downloads for the week before were 48,000.) A total of 58 percent of the sales last week were downloads, and Mr. Jackson has become the first artist to sell more than a million song downloads in a single week. (New York Times)
In addition to sales, Jackson took over radio play spins across the nation.
After radio stations nationwide paid tribute to Michael Jackson over the weekend, Nielsen BDS released airplay data showing that 143 of Jackson's recordings totaled 67,383 plays for the week ending June 28, which is up 1,735 percent from last week's sum of 3,671 plays before his death. Twenty-two of Jackson's hits racked up more than 1,000 spins this past week, led by "Billie Jean" with 4,500 plays. That was followed by "Thriller" at #2 with 3,570, "Rock With You" at #3 with 3,546, "Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough" at #4 with 3,135 and "P.Y.T." at #5 with 2,986 plays. (FMQB)

Emotional new footage was shown to jurors on Thursday in the trial of Daniel Reddout.
Reddout, 24, of Cedar Falls, stands accused of murdering his 18-month-old son, Kaleb, at the Midway Motel on April 4, 2011. He is currently facing charges of first-degree murder and child endangerment.
The recording shown in court was a redacted version of an interview Reddout had with police after his child's death, and throughout the 1.5 hour tape he became increasingly distressed, ending in tears.
The jury watched investigators on the recording press Reddout on the events that transpired the night his son died. Slowly, it came out – he told them that the child was wound up, and didn't want to go to sleep, so he did what he'd done many times before: restrain the baby by holding him face down and placing his elbow on his lower back. He also said that he rubbed the child's back.
Then, interviewers told him that the injuries the 18-month-old sustained to his heart, lungs and eyelids couldn't happen without significant pressure.
Finally, Reddout said that he might have pressed too hard in calming his son.
"I mean honestly I didn't think that it could be true, you know," Reddout said on the recording. "I kept rationalizing it in my head…" An interviewer interrupted him: "I understand you trying to keep positive, but at the end of the day, what happened?"
"It was me man," Reddout replied, in tears. "Obviously, it was me."
Reddout also said that he held the child's jaw partially closed in an effort to calm the boy's breathing. He said this would force him to breathe through his nose, and fall asleep.
He said he learned this method from a friend. He said the friend was "...the only one that could put him to sleep and I said man how the **** do you do that?' 'Just like this man, but make sure you've got to be careful with it though.' 'Alright man I'll be careful.'"
Several observers in the courtroom cried as Reddout demonstrated on a doll how he'd held his son facedown in the corner of the hotel room and pressed on him.
At the end of the interview, Reddout stressed that it was an accident.
After the redacted version of the tape was entered into evidence and shown to the jury, the jury was told to leave the courtroom. Then, an un-edited version of the interview was entered into evidence. The judge stressed that this full version will never be shown to jurors, and is only for the records of the court.

New county-wide bus ticket for residents with Intalink and Hertfordshire County Council
Updated 4:03pm Monday 3rd February 2014 in News By Charlotte Ikonen, Reporter
A new bus ticket has been introduced to give residents unlimited travel on the Hertfordshire bus network for a week for £30.
Intalink, a partnership between Hertfordshire County Council and train and bus operators, is now offering the ticket which can be purchased on buses for £30 and gives a person unlimited travel for seven days.
Terry Douris, cabinet member for highways, said: "The new weekly Explorer ticket offers a cheap, reliable way for people to travel right across the county.
"Not only does it provide excellent value for money, but we hope it will get people out of their cars, which will reduce congestion on our roads."
You can buy your Explorer ticket on the first bus you travel on at any time of day.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- Talent wins games. Teamwork and intelligence win championships.That's a great lead. I wish I'd written it. Unfortunately, I didn't. John Wooden did. But if you're going to steal, you might as well steal from the best.This week in practice, University of Louisville basketball coach Rick Pitino also has been borrowing from the Wooden playbook.Intelligence has been the theme of the week for the Cardinals in the wake of last Saturday's five overtime marathon loss at Notre Dame.The Cardinals took an NCAA-mandated two days off, then returned to work for the real marathon -- watching the film to catalog the list of mental errors the team made down the stretch against the Fighting Irish. Unfortunately for the Cardinals, some of them were reruns."In three of our five losses we beat ourselves," Pitino told reporters Wednesday night before his weekly radio show. "For a veteran team, that's very disturbing. We're playing with great heart but very little head."". . . There's two things that have stopped us from having a great season. One has been our foul shooting, two has been our intelligence or lack of. I think the Notre Dame game will make us a lot smarter in a lot of different areas, and I think our players realize that."So what do you do to make your team smarter in a short time? They don't exactly make "Basketball Einstein" tapes to play for your players while they sleep. And of course, Russ Smith never sleeps, anyway.Pitino said that in addition to the shock value and sheer unpleasantness of the Notre Dame experience, some individual self-evaluation on the part of each player is necessary."Going into conference play we have not played as well as a basketball team in terms of our individual performances," Pitino said.Of the loss at Notre Dame, he said nobody played well, not even Chane Behanan, who scored a career-high 30 points. "Russ had a night that he wants to forget, but he's had a lot of great night that have helped the team to some high heights," Pitino said. "And you'd rather have (a bad night) happen in February, if you learn from it, than have it in March."I think Russ had a bad night. Wayne (Blackshear) had a bad night. I think Peyton (Siva) had a bad night, with a lot of mental errors that were contagious and led to other errors."But Pitino has proved adept at pivoting his team off low points into a better direction throughout his career. He often uses the imagery of a deflated balloon now needing to inflate. When it comes to inflating his teams, he has in recent years employed mini-goals: One year he broke the season into segments, another he said the team had to win 8 out of 10 to make the tournament.This season, there's a new twist. The only thing he says his team can do to make up for the Notre Dame loss is "win seven in a row."He said he's challenged the Cards to win out, no easy task given that three of the games are on the road, including a visit to Syracuse.
"Seven straight wins," Pitino said. "Anything less, I'll be very disappointed. That's my goal. I think we're going to have to play smart. We're playing hard enough, our effort is good enough to do it, we're not playing smart enough to do it."
The quest begins Thursday night against St. John's in the KFC Yum! Center.

He gets tested two or three times a week and meets weekly with a counselor. If he tests positive this season, he'll be suspended for a year.

Southend United's Ryan Cresswell and Kevan Hurst to have scans on injuries sustained against Brentford
4:09pm Wednesday 16th January 2013 in Blues By Chris Phillips
RYAN Cresswell and Kevan Hurst are both set to have scans on the injuries they picked up during Tuesday's 2-1 defeat at Brentford.
Centre-back Cresswell was forced off with a shoulder problem while Hurst suffered a reoccurrence of a back injury.
But Blues boss Paul Sturrock does not yet know how long the pair will be out for.
"Until they have the scans we won't know how serious the injuries are," said Sturrock.
"It doesn't look good at the moment but we're obviously hoping they won't be too bad."
However, it has now been confirmed that midfielder Marc Laird will be out for two to three weeks with the pulled hamstring he suffered against Exeter City last weekend and on loan striker Britt Assombalonga is rated as 50/50 for Saturday's game with Plymouth.
The forward has missed five of Blues' last six games with the ankle injured he sustained during the 3-0 win at Dagenham & Redbridge on Boxing Day.

The FBI was investigating the late Sheriff Crum for money laundering and mail fraud just weeks before his death, according to a search warrant unsealed Friday.
In the document, filed May 7, FBI Special Agent Michael Hansen claimed Crum arranged to pay for campaign signs using money illegally obtained from a pill mill doctor. The payments amounted to thousands of dollars.
Hansen links Crum to Dr. Diane Shafer, who was convicted in federal court for conspiring to misuse a Drug Enforcement Task force registration number.
During the 2012 election, Crum bought signs from a local sign maker, George White. Instead of paying White, Crum told the man to collect money from his associate, Shafer.
The FBI also suspected Crum of possibly mailing in false campaign finance reports.
Hansen applied for the search warrant to search Crum's iPhone.
Crum was murdered in April. That device, along with his body, was brought to the West Virginia Office of the Chief Medical Examiner. The items were then taken to the West Virginia State Police, who investigated his murder.
The warrant was served several months ago and investigators could not disclose what they found on the phone, according to a source within the FBI.
Federal prosecutors linked Crum to White in a separate information filed Sept. 19. Assistant U.S. Attorney Steven Ruby filed documents alleging Crum and several elected officials worked to deprive White, a known drug dealer, of his constitutional rights.
George White, 65, owner of White's Signs, printed signs for then-magistrate Crum, who was running for sheriff. A public listing for White's Signs says the establishment is located in Delbarton.
White attempted to collect a $3,000 debt from Crum, who continually denied White payment, prosecutors said.
Crum won the sheriff's race in 2012. During his first month in office, documents further assert, Crum arranged for White to be arrested. Prosecutors said Crum did this because he obtained prescription pills from White.
Investigators assert White dealt illegal prescription pills in Mingo County.
White eventually hired a lawyer, Charles "Butch" West, who was in contact with the FBI with the intention of pursuing Crum. White informed the FBI that before his arrest, he unlawfully provided Crum with prescription narcotic pills on several occasions. White also told the FBI about election law violations Crum committed, according to the information.
Prosecutors said Crum discovered White's relationship with West. It prompted Crum, former Mingo Co. Commissioner Dave Baisden, former Circuit Court judge Michael Thornsbury and former Prosecutor Michael Sparks to conspire against White through his brother, Glenn.
The group reportedly told Glenn White that if George hired another attorney - one they provided him - they would guarantee White a good plea deal.
That attorney was Ron Rumora, a former prosecuting attorney in Mingo County. Rumora did not return requests for an interview Wednesday.
Federal prosecutors assert these officials offered to stop White and his attorney from giving more information to the FBI.
In February 2013, a grand jury in Mingo County indicted White on three counts of delivery of oxycodone.
The information states that Thornsbury, aware of the deal, sentenced White to drug charges. Crum allegedly ordered deputies to obtain a statement from White, claiming he never sold drugs to the sheriff.
According to Hansen's search warrant request, Crum and Dave Rockel, the Williamson police chief at the time, interviewed White after he fired West. Crum asked White if he specifically told the FBI about a drug arrangement they had made. White reportedly denied telling the FBI he sold drugs to Crum.
Records from the West Virginia Regional Jail Authority indicate that White was arrested as recently as May 28 and remains incarcerated. He had been in jail on drug charges three times in the past year.
White previously declined a request for an interview.
Thornsbury pleaded guilty Oct 2. to conspiring to deprive White of his constitutional rights. He resigned the same morning.
Baisden pleaded guilty Oct 1. to an unrelated attempted extortion charge. He resigned Oct. 7.
Prosecutors filed information Oct. 9, accusing Sparks of depriving White of his constitutional rights. He resigned the same day.

I would not normally write such a long review but feel that this will help you if you have not cruised with NCL before.
Myself, my husband and two children (girl aged 15 and boy 13) travelled to Venice by Monarch from Manchester airport. We stayed two nights in Venice first at the Hilton Mollino Stucky hotel on the Giudecca. The hotel was fantastic. We took a water taxi from Marco Polo to the hotel (120 euro but a wonderful experience). We were met at the hotel and our suitcases were taken off the boat and up to our rooms. The hotel was really comfortable and the staff were amazing. The breakfast is incredible.
On the day of our cruise we took the Alilaguna boat from the hotel to the cruise port (8 euros each). Embarkation was quick and we could go straight to our rooms at 12.30 noon.
CABIN - We stayed in two cabins - the children shared an indoor cabin just across from our balcony cabin. They were very clean with sufficient room to store everything. Our beds were set up as 2 singles as we were supposed to each haveone of our children in with us. The beds were quite narrow with 2 foam mattress toppers on each, then a quilted mattress topper, as result of this the sheet kept moving about all night and it was very annoying. The TV is very old fashioned with limited channels. On previous cruises we could view out daily bill but this is not so with NCL so beware as the drinks are expensive plus a 15% service charge on all drinks. The balcony was quite roomy. The bathroom is good with a good sized shower and separate toilet within it. Our room attendant was very friendly and kept the room clean.
FOOD - The MDRs are certainly not up to RCI or Celebrity standards and dining is not a sense of occasion. NCL have freestyle dining which is supposed to allow you to dine when you want but quite often you have to wait up to 45 minutes - you are given a buzzer so you can go and have one of their expensive drinks! The food is mediocre and only 3 courses. The food in the cafe is not too good either and finding a table is difficult. There is not much choice compared to other cruise lines. We used to go to the Great Outdoors which is the outside aft area, where there are more tables available .
DRINKS - very expensive with 15% on top. I expected this but was not happy at paying the prices for poorly presented drinks. They sometimes use a mix rather than making cocktails from scratch and don't dress the drink with anything.
STAFF - everyone was very helpful and friendly which was amazing considering how rude fellow guests were to them. Many guests did not even acknowledge them or thank them. Gary the cruise director was a bore and seemed omnipresent, speaking in his different languages which everyone had to listen to.
FELLOW PASSENGERS -We embarked at Venice so the majority were Italian (1500) who do not believe in queuing, acknowledging anyone else around them or smiling - I travel to Italy a lot so maybe a cruise changes people as I have never had this opinion before.
PORTS OF CALL - all very good destinations.
ENTERTAINMENT - The shows were surprisingly good and the theatre was a good size so we always found a seat. The other entertainment was not so good and anything organised such as parties in the evening only lasted 45 minutes so if you are in the middle of a conga and enjoying yourself stop now! We went to a few quiz/family activities but these were poorly attended! The boat is very air conditioned and sometimes felt quite cold.
Overall the cruise lacked atmosphere, the bars were quite empty at night with no buzz about them. Very few people bothered to dress up in the evening and I am not really into the ballgown and tux look but do like to put something nice on. I wouldn't go on NCL again but if you are looking for a cheaper cruise and don't like too much going on onboard then the Jade would be good.

Unconventional Diagnoses
By Burton Goldberg
Alternative medicine is best known for preventing health problems, but it can also enable us to detect degenerative disease well before it becomes a serious threat. Part of its advantage stems from the tendency of alternative practitioners to evaluate the whole body to look for causes of disease. I don't think my heart doctor would have died of cancer or my cancer doctor died of heart disease if they had been able to see systemic imbalances rather than focusing on one particular body part that was diseased. Finding out about such an imbalance early on might well have given each a fighting chance of reversing his illness.
Alternative diagnostic methods also offer a degree of sensitivity you won't often find in conventional medicine, which relies heavily on standard blood workups that don't always pick up on subtle problems. An example of this sensitivity appears in the work of physician Wolf-Dieter Kessler, who uses electromagnetic frequency to detect problems like hormonal imbalances well ahead of conventional methods.
In our industrialized world we all "dance close to the fire," as a friend of mine, physician Garry Gordon, likes to say. The fire is a devastating health condition and the dance is the combination of our sedentary lifestyle, toxic environment, and poor diets. With knowledge from new diagnostic mechanisms, however, we can learn when and how to move away from the fire.
I believe that if we make use of these new tools, we can drastically reduce our chances of facing a diagnosis of any number of advanced degenerative diseases.
With that in mind, I've asked four alternative physicians to tell me what they think are among the most promising new diagnostic methods available today. While more research is warranted on all of them, I believe they represent exciting new ways to apprehend serious illnesses early enough to head them off with natural and non-invasive methods.
Garry Gordon
Blood Viscosity Test
Garry Gordon, who practices in Payson, Arizona, reports that he has made exceptional progress in preventing stroke and heart attack by focusing on the viscosity of blood rather than on the arteries that contain it. Measuring viscosity accurately, however, is surprisingly tricky, and Gordon is one of the few who has an effective protocol that employs natural techniques.
Unlike most fluids, blood is thin while moving but thick when it slows—and blood should flow like wine, not ketchup! Why are we so prone to ketchup-like blood? Some have speculated that thousand of years of violent human activity have selectively bred our species to be geared toward surviving bodily injury (by rapid control of bleeding) rather than toward just surviving into a peaceful and healthy old age. The fight-or-flight stress response triggers the flow of the insoluble protein called fibrin, and fibrin responds to injury by causing blood coagulation or clotting. So in modern humans under stress, whether physical or emotional, the mec...

Rated 3.1 out of 5 by 694 reviewers.
Rated 1 out of 5 by Matt35 Run-down hotel with good location The hotel really didn't meet my expectation and it isn't worth Sheraton brand. Pros: - hepful staff (for platinum guests at least) - central location - nice, art deco interior (but old run-down furniture in certain rooms) Cons - wifi connection is really bad inrooms overlooking to green park - rooms overlooking to the inner yard (more percisly overlooking to the roof of the lobby) has no central a/c, only standalone machines with pipes going thru the windows - in rooms on the 8th, one can hear the central a/c on the top of bulinding non-stop, the a/c vent in the room is in front of the bed (the air comes into your face directly), whenever you or your neighbor open the tap or flush the toilet there is a very loud noise coming from the pipes for a minute long. Imagine what if your neighbor comes home during the night and goes out to the bathroom when you are asleep. - airco issues inthe lobby and restaurant. I was actually sweating one morning as the a/c didn't work at all and no windows were open - everything is very old in the hotel and it really needs a full renovation July 25, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Marge65 Great staff. The concierge staff made finding London's highlights easy. Plus they got us a great dinner reservation. Room service was prompt, August 26, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Ken38 Problem We got our room at 5 PM, brought our luggage up and went out. It was hot outside so we turned the air conditioner on. When we returned around 11 PM, the room was very warm, warmer inside than outside I feel that I am due some points for this, as we had to leave the windows open all night Ken Goldman July 24, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by Gpsarros Great location, but hotel is a dump The location is awesome. The hotel not so much. Definitely needs a major overhaul. October 21, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Murphyxx Outstanding experience High class hotel in a great location. The concierge staff are superb. June 13, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by MegaFrank41 Superb in every way It starts with location and The Park Lane Sheraton is superbly located for visitors who want to see downtown London and all its wonderful attractions. One can walk to The Tower of London, The Eye, The Abby and end with a walk through Green Park and St. James....along the way they can stop and see Churchill's War Rooms of WWII.... what a day! And the best part you end at your hotel...which has the finest overall staff of any hotel we have stayed at in London...food, pub, Tea Room are all excellent...and, importantly, the consignor's are very helpful.... August 4, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by Charlietravel Great Location but a very tired and old rooms This was an extremely disappointing stay for me and my family. Chose the hotel based on location which is the one redeeming feature of the place. Having paid for a suite to treat my mum for the weekend - we found the room and furnishings very shabby ( and not in an antique/cool way)with holes in the sofas and stains on the desks and floor. The bathrooms admittedly original features could still do with improvments. The tea and coffee service in room a complete joke, the kettle lead doesnt even reach any sockets in the room so you end up paying high room service fees. Internet extorbitant at £16.95 for 24 hrs and virtually no wireless access in the room save the odd pocket of signal that waivers in and out of reception. Breakfast was very poor quality for the money, lukewarm, inattentive staff and uninspiring range. Maid service was poor, beds were made but rooms not actually tidied up and glasses etc not replaced with clean ones. Queues at reception to check in and out at least 5-10 mins for premim card holders.... Staff were very friendly and tried to help especially the doormen but getting anything resolved esepcially regarding internet is not going to happen - and blaming your 'internet service provider' is not an excuse in a 5* hotel when you charge the rates you do! I did complain at check out and the only response i got was ' we gave you a good view' !All in all a weekend that was supposed to be a treat ended up being a shabby joke, I won't be staying again! December 3, 2012
Rated 3 out of 5 by Sweenem Short Business Stay Short London stay for business disappointed with value I expected from such a grand hotel. Room was probably one of the smallest rooms I have ever stayed in.You could barely get passed the entrance and bed with the luggage. Room and window so small that I needed lights during the day despite the blazing sunshine Bathroom dated and whilst clean looked grotty. Shower not what expected - no adjustable shower head, taps were scalding No complientary tea/coffee in room. I understand these were available by calling down to guest services - however when I am just up and jumping in the shower don;t want someone calling to the room. Disappointed wifi was additional extra and expensive. Chose this hotel from a list of company used preferable hotels - but would probably choose another next time, July 17, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by Desperatelyseekingquality Less than Mediocre-needs major upgrade The only good thing going for this hotel is it's location and its concierge (who was very helpful). Sheraton was never a very good brand and this hotel certainly doesn't help. This hotel is in serious need of an upgrade. the building is impressive from the outside and so is the main bar, however, everything else, including the rooms needs to be brought up to date, especially the circa 1920's bathrooms. This hotel seems to cater for tourists that never travel or Brits coming for weddings at the ballroom to get plastered December 7, 2011
Rated 3 out of 5 by Louise90 Disappointing Stayed one night which was quite enough. Whilst the property had clearly once been a grand old building, apart from the room where afternoon tea was served, it had seen better days. The staff on a bleak reception were surly and the 'Classic' room was small and certainly not up to 4 or 5* standard. The bathroom was old and fairly grim. This was in fact a room we had been given because we had complained about the size of the first one. All in all, a very disappointing stay and surprisingly so for a Starwood property. December 7, 2011
Rated 3 out of 5 by mhdalmia Great Hotel 1. All the staff was very cooperative and attitude was to be of help. 2. Ancient building makes it quite different from the modern hotels. Inside provides all facilities of a modern hotel. 3. Practice of Green Choice by SPG needs to be expanded by other chains. 4. I was disappointed that in spite of being Life Time Platinum Member I could not get any upgrade. 5. I had to wait very long before I was given a room. I am aware that check-in time is 3 PM but most hotels make special efforts to reduce the waiting time. 6. While waiting I left my bags with the concierge on which they put a sticker for identification. While taking it off the adhesive being strong left a lot of torn paper on the grip which was almost impossible to remove. Quality of adhesive needs to be improved or the adhesive should not touch the handle by providing a big adhesive free loop. 7. Breakfast room is rather small for the size of the hotel. If any special request has to be met most probably kitchen is not close by which slows down the service. This further increases the waiting. July 22, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Neo60 Great hotel right in the middle of London Hotel is conveniently located right next to Green park and Hyde Park and very close to Oxford street, Buckingham palace and many other great places July 22, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by Pflowen Great location-not 5 star! My wife and I stayed in this hotel for 2 nights. I have always been impressed with the hotels in the spg chain. This hotel is rich with history, but unfortunately the hotel really shows the age. The lobby/loungue area is very nice but the hotel rooms are very plain and lack charm. As a gold member we were upgraded into a delux room, however, based on the room we got I would hate to see what the basic room is like. Despite this I would recommend this hotel but by no means would I ever say its 5 stars. If you booked it with a rating of 3 stars you would be happy with the room since you would not be expecting what every other 5 star spg hotel offers. May 5, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by IndianLawyer1 Bad reviews possibly exaggerated - good hotel I recently submitted a bid on PriceLine for a 5 star hotel in London and with my bid eventually being accepted by The Sheraton Park Lane Hotel on Piccadilly. And after our mostly pleasant stay at the hotel, I have to say that either the Park Lane quickly got their ducks in a row in response to several bad reviews or most of the negative reviews are over-exaggerated. Either that or most of the American reviewers don't take into account that European accommodations are more expensive and sometimes are not as nice as they are in the States for a comparably priced hotel. Granted the Park Lane is old and could probably use a facelift. But my wife and I had a wonderful stay at the Park Lane and we would most definitely stay there again - if the price is right. Initially after reading all the mostly negative reviews about this hotel, I must admit I immediately set out to get a refund or anything and everything I could do to get out of the Priceline reservation. I usually take a few bad reviews with a grain of salt. But with the more than several bad reviews being written about the Park Lane, I was obviously very concerned. But after being denied a refund or any other recourse, we decided to make the best of the situation and enjoy ourselves. But before we checked in, I contacted the hotel management directly via E-mail, shared my concerns over the negative reviews, and made a few special requests such as no smoking preferences and possible early check-in. And to my pleasant surprise, the hotel staff was very pleasant and helpful and our room was ready for check-in at 9 am. Yes - a 9 am check-in. Since we were coming from Stuttgart, we wouldn't be jet lagged and were to the contrary ready to hit the ground running. And we did just that since our room was ready at 9 am. Even if it hadn't been ready, the hotel has luggage storage which we did use on our last day there. As far as the negatives of this hotel, there weren't that many and they were minor. Again given the different standards between US and European hotels, this hotel probably wouldn't rate a 5 star in the States. But at the same time it was very elegant, historic, and clean. Regardless, the only negatives I can think of are the hallway floors did creak when you walked on them, a sign of old age. But that wasn't a big issue with us. Also, the bathroom lavatory had one faucet for hot water and one faucet for cold water. So in other words, you couldn't get warm water to come out of the faucet. The shower had a "regular" faucet and we had no problems with inconsistent water temperature. I will agree though with one reviewer that stated the shower curtain was a bit too short for the tub although we didn't have any problems with getting water on the floor. And since my Priceline bid was accepted, the price for a London hotel was pretty good. However, I would have hated to have paid full price for the same room, which I think at the time was approaching $400 US per night. Now for the positives - and there are many. Fantastic location! You are less than a five minute walk in either direction on Piccadilly to a Tube stop and about a 10 minute walk from Piccadilly Circus in one direction and Harrod's in the other direction. And along the way to the Green Park Tube stop, there are numerous places to have a more decently priced breakfast, including a Pret and a Starbucks. If you're flying into Heathrow, the location is also fantastic since you just have to get on a Piccadilly Line train at Heathrow and stay on until you get to Hyde Park Corner or Green Park Tube stops. You don't have to change trains. Although the Paddington Express is probably good for other hotels, the Park Lane's location and convenience essentially nullifies any time you would save by using the Express since you'd have to change trains at Paddington. The area around Buckingham Palace is also just across the street. And I could go on and on about the location. The only other thing that would have made the location better is if it was right next to a Tube stop. Otherwise, the location can't be beat. As far as the room itself, the size was comparable to many hotels I've stayed in in the States. My wife absolutely loved the firm King bed although it was a little too firm for my tastes. There was a heated towel rack, the bathroom was a great size, and I didn't smell any smoke or mustiness in the common areas as one reviewer mentioned. And I would be able to smell smoke a mile away since I don't smoke and I'm allergic to it. Bottom line, I believe most of the negative reviews on the Park Lane are over-exaggerated and probably come from people who are used to a five star level equivalent to the Four Seasons on Maui or some other exotic location. Again granted the hotel is a little old and could use a facelift. But the old charm of the hotel, including the art deco design in the Ballroom area, and its fantastic location make it a true gem of London hotels. Again, I'd have hated to have paid full price for the same room. But when we come to London again, we'll probably try Priceline again and hope that we get this hotel once again. T.D.

Rated 2 out of 5 by Terry116 This hotel is tired No offer of a newspaper on check in. No porter service what so ever. After an overnight flight from Hong Kong I do not appreciate dragging my luggage to my room. Only 1 bathrobe provided for 2 guests along with only 1 bottle of water. I appreciate that the hotel is old in comparison to Asia Pacific hotels, but the tiredness is also reflected in the overall demeanour of the staff . The room for my first night was a box on the 3rd floor, but thankfully after a request a move to the 7th floor was forthcoming. Badly cracked tiles in the shower is not a good look! July 10, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by BLRBusinessTraveller Poor Condition; Poor Value You can get far better quality in London & just as well located. Room - very small; poor condition with carpets stained, furniture from 1960(?), chipped paint, badly fitting doors. I had one carry on bag and couldn't open it out on the suitcase stand as the room was too small. Bed - comfortable and clean Tea Tray - none in room, but can be requested for free (why not have this in the room like every other hotel?) Bathroom - awful, like something out of a 1 star b&b. Cheap, chipped. Shower curtain couldnt be opened properly. Breakfast - good choice buffet, very slow if you order something Concierge - very helpful. July 1, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by Pumba2 Great Location but Tired The location couldn't be better. The hotel itself is tired. The A/C wasn't up to the hot weather. Was not recognized appropriately as a VIP Platinum SPG Member. Been here many times before, unlikely to come back. July 21, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by Richard58 Points stay Stayed at hotel on points. Room not available on arrival, despite request,(though Hotel was full), but was fresh and bright once inside. amenities for an exec room, a little on the basic side. No cotton buds, shoe cleaning kit, available. Was kept awake by kids in room next door belting out Abba songs late at night and early morning. Could hear a lot of what was being said too in that room. Hotel bar staff friendly and efficient, though a strange (cleaning like) smell lingered in the bar during the time I was there. Internet worked efficiently, though object to having to pay GBP 16 per day for its use. Hotel location good, which is a major plus. February 27, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by klt40 Excellent Platinum recognition/benefits Excellent Platinum recognition with upgrade to 2-room suite! Full buffet breakfast for our family of 3 included. When our room wasn't ready, due to the previous person having a late checkout, we were given a temporary room to take a nap since we just came off a long flight from the states. Hospitality was very appreciated! July 19, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by Panpan1945 Room description The room I was given is below any standard of Sheraton hotels. I left all my clothes in the suitcase because there were no shelves. The decoration of the room was non existent. July 20, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by SilvinaBA Expectations not met Really surprised by the law level of this hotel. Thought that Sheraton would have a minimum level of facilities to offer. Room was surprisingly small and old. No fridge in it. Very few elements for guest comfort. Really not worthy at all the money that should be paid for a room. July 19, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by CLC2013 Puts SPG to disgrace As an SPG member I have never been so disappointed with a hotel. The staffs customer service was below average, rude and did not care about the customer or being an SPG member. They had no knowledge of events in London at the time. The food was average and so was the wait staff. The staff in Citrus were rude and took forever to acknowledge customers. It was like they had to finish there duties first before serving a customer. The reception staff were arrogant excepts one gentlemen. Embarrassing that I had a friend who works in tourism checking out the hotel to and would not recommend this for Famils either. The name Park Lane should be removed to Budget Lane. June 25, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Tom1954 One night on points Room 546 Our stay was on points during the Olympics and we were assigned room 546. The air conditioning worked well... we were actually cool until we turned the thermostat up. There was a large walk in closet. The safe did not seem to work. The bathroom was fine, water pressure and temperature fin. The shower in the bath worked but the space is small (no curved shower curtain... Towel warmer worked. no meals were taken at the hotel. Even though it is on Piccadilly, one can access from Brick Lane. it is about equidistant from Hyde Park Corner and Green Park tube stations. I plan to check in for two nights today, and will try to write a review on this upcoming stay. August 12, 2012
Rated 2 out of 5 by Kim161 Unimpressed for a SPG property This hotel overall was not worth the money. The breakfast at 25 pounds was terrible and not worth it. we asked for some bread and a drink at the bar because tea and coffee are not in the room they said they would send it up. It took 30 mins and they charged a fee to bring it. The wireless is also not worth the cost and not free anywhere, not even the lobby. The noise traveled throughout and even on the 3rd floor the noise from an event kept us up well into the night. I complained and nothing was done. I was told a manager would contact me and they would give me points to make up for it, still no contact or points have been given, I wil not stay here again. September 27, 2012
Rated 2 out of 5 by Frances55 Rooms need reonvating I was given a very small room with a rather unsightly air con machine in one corner / a shower that worked sometimes, sockets that could not be used with my MAC adapter due to the skirting board and no tea making facilities in the room. Luckily I was only there for one night and arrived late / left early. The gentleman at check in was lovely. Wine in the bar was good. July 16, 2014

Our stay has been wonderful and I any persons of Hotel staff that have taken care of us with kindness, cordiality and competence.

Rated 1 out of 5 by unhappyinLondon Not worthy of SPG BRand I foolishly asked my travel agent to book a nice SPG hotel in London without looking at any reviews or details. When I arrived I thought the lobby looked dated and in need of a update. The room was even worse. There was nothing overtly wrong but very worn down and dated i.e from the 80's. I spent five minutes in the room and went back to the front desk to ask for a more up to date room. I was told that all the rooms were that way. I had my travel agent book another hotel and left. I was very disappointed that they did charge me for one night. I am going to be very reluctant to book at a Sheraton again. March 30, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by LCVancouver Great location Enjoyed my stay at the ParkLane. Very helpful staff. Comfortable and spacious rooms. It's a modest hotel by London standards, not as new as the N. American Starwood hotels in the same category. It's an old timer on Picadilly so be aware. Some rooms are renovated. The offical entrance is in a back lane (Brick Street) so that the cars can stop. Great location right across from Green Park. Walking distance to Knightsbridge (Harrods, Selfridge, Harvey Nichols) and Buckingham Palace. Next to Green Park tube station and Marks and Spencer simply food store. Extremely convenient! My main suggestion? Please install a few international power outlets on the desks or bureau. My first room desk had a N. American outlet but it was plugged up by glue. My second room desk did not have a N. American outlet - but the front desk provided a step down adapter. I brought my own power cord to plug into that adapter.... thus was able to charge up my 2 iphones, 2 ipads, laptop, portable iphone battery and camera. Had a great stay. July 17, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by sswan Worst SPG Experience I have ever had After putting me in the smallest room I have ever seen I asked to move to a different hotel. They would not allow me to move without a penalty even though I was going to another SPG location. Instead, they gave me a larger room with a "King Bed"; a king bed is two beds pushed together. Whoever rated this hotel as category 5 is really at fault. Housekeeping slammed every door they opened. October 9, 2012
