Rated 3.8 out of 5 by 401 reviewers.
Rated 4 out of 5 by RTR205 Great Location Checking in was a nightmare, but the hotel was very nice. I was not recognized as a SPG Gold member or received the benefits that come with that. Great location for the Ballpark of Arlington and Cowboy Stadium. Walking distance to both. Pool was unbelievable. Great fitness center as well. September 7, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by MillerS I really loved the location! This hotel is not only beautiful and comfortable, it is in a fantastic location! We came to see a Dallas Cowboy game and were able to walk over to the stadium. It is also in walking distance of Ranger Stadium and Six Flags. Great hotel and awesome location. We can't wait to go back! December 26, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by Cchecat Nice hotel I had a double queen room and the room was a little tight, but ok. The pool is huge but the whole pool is shallow, not good for older kids who were bored with it after a few minutes. Gym was very nice with new equipment. Onsite restaurant food was good but service was pretty slow. August 28, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Alvin66 Business trip After a long flight I was greeted by a very professional lady who got my room very fast. The food at the restaurant was very good and the waitress new the menue very well, the room was clean and the pillows even better. Also the elevators were fast, never had to wait too long. November 19, 2012
Rated 3 out of 5 by laggs Airport Shuttle needs HELP Lots of trouble getting from the Airport to the hotel, we will rent a car next time, wait WAY TO LONG! Our room request ignored, furthest from elevator, not nearest to elevator. Other accommodations took several requests to be completed. Restaurant only had expensive choices. September 4, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Pat18 Terrific pool & short walk to Rangers stadium The only place we want to stay for Rangers games. Short walk to the stadium. Terrific pool area with beverage service. Family focused pool party atmosphere, complete with a movie to watch while in the pool or relaxing in a lounge chair. We saw Happy Feet Saturday night. August 30, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by 44TOOLS BELL STAFF AWESOME THE BELL STAFF WENT OUT OF THEIR WAY TO HELP US OUT. THEY REALLY WERE EXTRAORDINARY. March 3, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by g3auto Slow Internet This hotel is very nice and the staff are great. The only draw back is the internet is extremely slow February 27, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by dk34 Sheraton Arlington Hotel Excellent facility. Pool area was great for relaxation. Food is a little overpriced. Not a lot of area choices for food. Staff was excellent, very polite. Shuttle service was excellent and free. Nice easy walk to Texas Rangers Stadium, the reason why I was there. August 26, 2012
Rated 3 out of 5 Getting shabby I have been staying at the Arlington Sheraton and whatever it was called before Sheraton Hotels acquired it. The first time I visited the hotel, about 10 years ago, I was impressed with the room: the furnishings were top-class. There was a modern glass business desk with a Herman Miller Aeron chair next to the window. The furniture and decor exuded class and sophistication. On this and my last few trips I was very underwhelmed by the state of the room. On this trip, the furniture in the room was scratched, the lampshades were askew, the ceiling above the shower/tub was rusty and paint-chipped, the tub's drain was clogged, the "saloon doors" of the guest closet were almost falling off the wall-frame, the curtains were hard to draw and one curtain was missing a pull-wand. Honestly, I've stayed in Motel 6's that had neater rooms. The only reason I will continue to stay at the Arlington Sheraton is because of it's proximity to the guitar show venue and because of it's very convenient shuttle service to and from DFW airport October 24, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Deb12 Great Staff!! We were very pleased with the staff at this hotel - they were very attentive and helpful when our cards didn't gain us access to the Club Room and our floor. Very friendly, very helpful and service oriented!! Would highly recommend this particular Sheraton!!! July 12, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by mljhnsn Expectations met! I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at this beautiful hotel. The staff was superb! Everyone was kind and friendly. I ate breakfast and dinner in the City House Restaurant and they were attentive and friendly. I look forward to coming back and enjoying a longer stay. August 7, 2012
Rated 2 out of 5 by jake66 needs improvement overall it is a good place to stay. need to improve on replenishing the room with necessities and complimentary items. The beds are not comfortable! Several things are broken through out the hotel keeping you from ordering what you want or using the area. June 27, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by SusieQ Dinner Menu was Excellent The Alaskan Cod dinner was the best fish dish I've ever had, seriously. From the flakiness of the fish, to the cream sauce, to the vegi assortment. It was a 4 star dish. The service by our waitress, Linda was top notch as well. We were very impressed. March 6, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by GAYLE23 CAN'T BE BEAT! WE HAVE STAYED HERE NUMEROUS TIMES NOW AND THIS WAS BY FAR THE BEST, BUT IT IS HARD TO BEAT GOOD SERVICE, GOOD ROOMS, NICE FACILITY AND EXCELLENT STAFF WHEN THEY ARE THAT WAY ALL THE TIME. I WISH THE STARBUCKS RESTAURANT WOULD STAY OPEN LATER THOUGH. October 9, 2012
Rated 3 out of 5 by AirForce Expected alot more I was surprise to see that the carpet in our room was dirty w/stains and the two chairs had alot of stains on them. Did not expect this from this hotel. Beside this the front desk staff were friendly and it was close to the Texas Rangers ballpark. August 5, 2012
Rated 3 out of 5 by danothorne Not very friendly As a lifetime Gold SPG member, upon check in I asked if I was in a CLub Floor room. The lady at check-in said no, but I could buy one for $30. I said that didn't make sense, and then she said now no rooms were available. She was not very polite. December 6, 2012
Rated 3 out of 5 by bbbird This hotel is somewhat above average Club: Breakfast skimpy by comparison to other hotels. Evening oers pretty light., and had to pay for cheap wine and beer. The hotel has one big plus: if you are attending a baseball or football game at the nearby stadiums, its location January 6, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Jacklyn Business trip I visit this hotel frequently on business. The staff - front desk, restaurant, club room, bellmen, and van drivers - are all very welcoming, courteous, and helpful. I always feel well cared-for when I visit the Sheraton Arlington. October 3, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by timbo The rooms need remodeling The hotel itself was very nice. The lobby, the staff was great. The rooms however were dated. The carpets are stained and the ceiling in my bathroom was chipping off. I stayed in room 908. The bedding was fantastic as was the pillows April 29, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by jd63238 room not ready Was attending baseball game and room not ready until after 5pm. We really wanted to freshen up before game, but instead had to check luggage at desk and finally get room after 11pm. Was disappointed. Everything else was fine.7 August 15, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by Thunderbird Good Hotel For Business Overall very good experience. Internet was a problem during training session and occasionnaly in the room. Everything else was very nice. Staff was excellent. January 17, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by soup123 Arlington Tx The Phone and TV were unplugged and once I tried to plug everything in, I saw why, it was a mess. I never did get the phone to work. The room was less than clean, dusty and the bathroom floor was very dirty. September 17, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by Manytimes Stayed here many times I have stayed in this hotel many times. The rooms are clean, very close to amenities, walking distance to six flags, ranger's stadium, and the cowboy's stadium. We walked to the cowboys game from the hotel. December 31, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by LukosXP Club Level Rocks My wife and I had a great stay on the 18th floor which is club level. The room was nice but the service and food was spectacular in the club room. If we have the opportunity again we would love to go back. October 22, 2012
Rated 2 out of 5 by AttyCo Staff has Poor Customer Service Skills Staff refused business checks after prior approval. Staff subjectively determines when checks will be accepted beyond the general policy. Floor Manager was unable to state Sheraton's Policy and was rude. July 16, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by MANNY3 BEST PLACE TO STAY IN ARLINGTON,TEXAS THE STAFF IS THE BEST...FROM THE VALET TO HOUSEKEEPING. ALSO, PLEASE GET ROOM SERVICE FOR HOT AND TASTY FOOD. THE FRONT DESK WAS THE MOST HELPFUL AND FRIENDLY I HAVE HAD IN YEARS. KEEP UP THE GREAT JOB. October 2, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by RhondaW Great location This is the perfect location for either Ranger or Cowboy game accomodations. The staff is friendly and the hotel well appointed. The breakfast buffet is very nice also. Have stayed here many times! February 21, 2012
Rated 3 out of 5 by Dblacktisd Another unhappy experience Booked three rooms for a conference. The front desk staff told me I would be called when the rooms were ready, that didn't happen. Then I expected to have all rooms on same floor and they were not. March 3, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by Catti11 Rude guest I have stayed at this location before with no problems. This time, some jerks decided to go up and down the hall - very late - several times - beating on the wall yelling "wake up" NOT a good trip. December 6, 2012

School acts after car driver lures boy
8:10pm Tuesday 5th February 2013 in News By Peter Truman
A CHILD predator has been targeting pupils outside schools in East Sussex.
On two separate occasions the man drove up to children as they went home from school and said they needed to get in the car because the child's parents had been in an accident.
Both times the children refused but the man, driving a silver hatchback, tried again to persuade the children. After being unsuccessful for a second time he then drove off.
Police spent a morning vigil outside Helenswood School in The Ridge, Hastings, after one of its pupils was targeted.
The school put on extra staff in the morning and afternoon to monitor the collection of students.
Head teacher Lucy Monk asked parents to make sure their children were aware of stranger danger.
Details have just been revealed about the first incident which happened at 4.20pm on January 23 as a boy was walking home along Lower Park Road in Hastings.
The boy refused and ran home to tell his parents and the police.
The second incident happened the following day at 3.30pm at Helenswood Lower School in Hastings.
Police action
Inspector Gareth Evans from the Hastings Neighbourhood Police Team, said: "I would like to reassure all parents and children that we are doing everything possible to investigate these reports thoroughly.
"I do not want to alarm people as at this stage we are still looking to confirm if any offences have been committed. I can state that no children have been reported as missing.
"We are working in partnership with the schools and will continue to do so.
"I commend the boy's actions who was stopped in Lower Park Road. He behaved responsibly by telling his parents and police without delay.
"If anyone has any information which may be useful to police then I would urge them to contact us. If you believe something suspicious is happening please do remember to try and get the registration number and a description of the driver as this will aid us with our enquiries."

YAKIMA, WA - Yakima Police are looking for two men responsible for two separate robberies within 30 minutes of one another.
According to police, the first robbery happened at 8:47 Tuesday night at the Taqueria Los Primos restaurant on 16th Avenue.
Officers say the suspect, a white man about 5'5" and wearing a bandanna over his face, showed a handgun to a clerk at the restaurant and demanded money. According to the clerk, a Hispanic man in his twenties driving a green Honda picked up the first man and left the restaurant going eastbound on Hathaway Street.
Less than 30 minutes later, a white man about 5'8" wearing a bandanna to cover his face, went into the Pik-A-Pop gas station at 3602 Tieton Drive at 9:03 and showed a handgun to a clerk and demanded money.
Once again, a second man driving an older model Honda Accord drove up and picked up the man who took money from the clerk and drove away.

We stayed in port at Puerto Vallarta overnight. Cabo San Lucas only 6 hours. We went on shore in PV to take a taxi to a restaurant we first went to in 1982, then again in 1987. Still great service & food, some nostalgia for us. Didn't tender into Cabo, have been there several times.
The service, both in the cabins & dining room, has diminished somewhat in the past couple of years, fewer stewards and waiters for more passengers?? We had Open Dining time, and seems like it is more difficult for the waiters to serve people when the passengers at each table change daily. We will try to not have this option on our next cruises.
I went to one of the cooking demonstrations, and wish that I had attended more of them. Enjoyed it very much.
The entertainment was pretty good. Enjoyed the singers & dancers, one comedian was really entertaining, and the Olympic gymnast was very good. The music onboard was variable. We didn't like the singer with the HalCats, or the trio in the Ocean Bar. But this is totally our opinion. We did enjoy the Adagio Strings Quartet very much.

Thank you for participating in our poll. Here are the results so far:
A Vanderburgh County house fire became a murder scene after the bodies of 8-year-old Alyssa and 5-year-old Caleb Lynch were found inside.
"That's pretty shocking and it's one that bothers you deep inside," Vanderburgh County Sheriff Eric Williams said.
That shocking case has the defendant, Jeffrey Weisheit, facing a possible death sentence, charged with torching his girlfriend's home in 2010 that killed her two children.
"The only thing I want is for the kids to be back in my arms. The only thing that would make me happy, the only thing I need are my kids," Lisa Lynch said. Lisa is the mother of Alyssa and Caleb.
The Weisheit case has been moved to Clark County and hasn't even gone to trial, still the meter is running.
Vanderburgh County Councilman Ed Bassemier is opposed to spending any more.
"I think it's a lot to ask the taxpayers to continue to support the defense for this murder case. At the present time, the county council has appropriated $570,000. Of course, you know the last time I voted no against it and I'll continue to vote no," Bassemier said.
14 News asked Prosecutor Nick Hermann what his office is spending compared to the defense.
"For the current death penalty case, we were appropriated $25,000. We spent $14,000 and the county council took $11,000 back. So to date, we've spent $14,000 on this case," Hermann said.
Hermann says his team is on a different playing field.
"We do it with the staff we have in house. Criminal Rule 24 sets up what has to be paid for the defense and that's where the price goes through the roof," Hermann told 14 News.
For Chief Public Defender Stephen Owens, Rule 24 means enhanced representation.
"The state has mandated certain levels of experience and training and said if you meet these standards, we will reimburse your county for 50 percent of the capital related expenses," Owens said.
There's no cap on what can be spent.
"With the case pending, now you have a judge out of county ordering our county council to make payments on those bills," Hermann said.
For the defense, is the sky the limit in the Weisheit case?
"It's not exactly the sky's the limit, but certainly you leave no stone unturned and that can cost a lot of money," Owens said. "We start basically looking at everything from the defendant's childhood up to his entire life. We're looking at school records, mental health records, any physical, psychological, mental health issues that might impact on his judgment.
What if all those stones are not unturned? If a judge receives a request from the defense for another expert witness and says no, that could actually drive up costs in the long run.
"That judge has the ability to say I'm not going to allow you to retain a neuro-psychological radiologist for example. The difficulty is going to be if he denies your ability to retain a certain expert and that becomes an issue. Then there's a good possibility the case is going to come back and be tried again," Owens told 14 News.
Being tried over and over again is former state trooper David Camm for the deaths of his wife, Kim, and their two children.
"They think David's innocent. They're trying to do everything they can to prove he's innocent, but where's the new evidence at. He's been tried twice. He's been found guilty twice. What's changed," Kim's father, Frank Renn said.
This case, which is not a death penalty case, has cost Floyd County over $3 million so far and possibly another million as Camm awaits his third trial.
Will the Weisheit case reach the million dollar mark or higher?
"It seems to me Clark County kind of got an open checkbook on Vanderburgh County, so I hope something can be done in the future to put a halt to this," Bassemier told 14 News.
Another reason costs are so high in the Weisheit case is that a new lead defense attorney had to be appointed after the sudden death of attorney Timothy Dodd.
Councilman Bassemier told 14 News he's been in contact with state lawmakers to see if anything can be done to put a cap on spending.
Another option could be a special team of state appointed prosecutors and defense attorneys assigned to death penalty cases, a system similar to what's in place in Kentucky.
In Illinois, there's no death penalty. Which leads to our poll question, are you in favor of the death penalty? Tell us what you think right here in this story.

PCI Compliant Storing Half Credit Card
PCI Compliance is scary business and I don't have the time to manage someone's server.
My client needs to be able to pass a Credit Card to a 3rd party over the phone, the problem
is storing it on-site is illegal without PCI compliance.
Can I encrypt and store 1/2 of the Credit Card number, and email the other 1/2 to a Gmail account?
Would this be considered shady practice? Is it even legal?
Apr 13, 2013, 11:06 #2
No, you cannot do that. Don't even think of using email or the system the client is proposing. Have the client get a merchant account and payment gateway.Logic without the fatal effects.

Storing any part of a credit card number across thousands of email servers (as happens when emails are sent) is about the worst possible breach since then it is available in lots of places and not just one place - and even one place is one more than PCI allows.Stephen J Chapman

FORT MYERS: TECO is laying out their side of the story of what caused Thursday gas explosion and service outage – and they point the finger at Posen Construction.
TECO says the gas line was properly located prior to Thursday's incident.
But the company says test stations and line markings in place after the location procedure were destroyed.
TECO says they told Posen not to dig in the area until the line could be located again.
"We've had ongoing communications with the contractor with regard to their work area and we had mentioned previously that we advised the contractor not to work in that area," said Rick Morera of TECO.
But the company says Posen went ahead anyway, causing the break and explosion that critically injured an equipment operator.
Posen won't comment on the incident.
TECO says they will continue to work with Posen to complete the road project at the explosion.

Albion have Cardiff's Joe Mason on their radar as they weigh up their striker options.
The Seagulls are looking at Mason as a possible replacement for Ashley Barnes if he moves to Leeds or Burnley, The Argus can reveal.
Mason is in a similar situation at Cardiff to winger Craig Conway, who Albion want back on loan.
The 22-year-old bought from Plymouth for £250,000 in July 2011 helped the Welshmen to promotion from the Championship last season but has not featured for them in the Premier League.
Former Republic of Ireland under 21 international Mason has just returned from a loan spell with Bolton Wanderers.
The Seagulls would face competition to secure the £600,000-rated marksman from Championship rivals Bolton and others.

Germany to Bieber: Pay monkey bill, or else
BERLIN (AP) - German authorities have posted a public notice urging Justin Bieber to get in touch with them about an unpaid bill for his former pet monkey Mally.
Bieber failed to produce the necessary vaccination and import papers for the monkey when he arrived for a European tour in March. Mally became the property of the German government in May when the Canadian singer failed to claim his pet.
A spokesman for the Federal Agency for Nature Conservation says Bieber has one week to pay 1,130 euros ($1,500) for the monkey's care.
Franz Boehmer said Tuesday that otherwise customs officials "have ways of making him pay" next time he enters Germany.
Bieber is already on the hook for a separate 5,000-euro bill from Munich customs.

Earlier this week, the 12 News Defenders responded to viewer complaints about children darting in and out of traffic around Montgomery schools instead of using crosswalks.
WSFA 12 News crews captured speeding drivers, students goofing off in busy roadways, cars slamming on their brakes to avoid hitting children, and students ignoring crosswalks and traffic lights around Lee High School, Capitol Heights Middle School and Bellingrath Middle School. These were areas viewers identified as "problematic" spots.
"These kids are not only endangering themselves, but putting the drivers and passengers in the cars at risk. What they do could cause cars to hit them, hit other cars, hit other people, or tear up property along the roadway while dodging the kids," one viewer wrote on Facebook.
The story has parents talking to their children about their safety.
"I always tell them to be alert and aware and to watch out for themselves," one parent said after seeing the story.
Now, Montgomery police are stepping in and taking what they call "extreme, proactive measures" to tackle the problem.
Montgomery police officers conducted street crossing safety seminars Friday, speaking to students at Lee High School, Capitol Heights Middle School and Bellingrath Middle School. The officers said they were "shocked and appalled" by the footage they saw on WSFA and they didn't sugarcoat their message to students, using images from real crash scenes to show that risky behavior while crossing the street can have dangerous and deadly consequences.
"That's somebody's body that did that. You have to think, if your body can do that to a car, how bad of a shape is your body going to be in," said Cpt. R.E. Lewis as he pulled up photos of damaged cars. "One thing all of those cars had in common is that in every single case, the pedestrian was at fault. In every single one, the pedestrian was thrown 50 feet in the air before they got back down. The car has the right of way on the roadway. You do not. And the car wins every time."
Officers told the students that most pedestrian collisions occur Monday through Friday, between 3 and 4 p.m. -- the timeframe when a lot of students are making their way home from school.
"A lot of you are texting, talking on the phone and not paying attention and that's where the safety issue comes in," said Lt. Charlie Oliver, commander of MPD's School Enforcement Bureau. "You may say, 'Well this car, he better not hit me.' I know I've heard that but you have to understand this- if you're not in the crosswalk, somewhere where it's legal to cross, you're at fault. And if you get killed, then your parents are going to end up burying you and paying for that person's car that you damaged.
On Thursday at Capitol Heights Middle School, patrol officers were helping students cross the street safely.
Speed cars, high tech squad cars equipped with digital cameras that snap pictures of violators, have also been placed in school zones.
"They're designed to measure speed of motorists in an area and photograph the potential violator. And that information is transferred and processed and is in turn, translated into a violation that will be mailed out to that person that could have a monetary fine," said Sgt. BJ Champlin with the Accident Investigation Office, part of the Montgomery Police Department's Traffic Division.
From the time our story first aired on Tuesday, the speed cars captured nearly 700 drivers going too fast in school zones.
"We want folks to know that we're out there and ultimately to be more aware and slow down, look, anticipate someone walking out in front of you. That's why the speed limit is set so low in school zones and neighbors, to give drivers time to react," Champlin said.
But police say fixing the problem is a two-way street and pedestrians also need to be aware and responsible.
"We hope this will spark the interest in parents to have the conversation with their children about how they need to cross the road and that they need to look before they cross and not just assume that a car is going to stop for them. They're in this for their safety also," Sgt. Champlin said. "We're encouraging motorists to work together with pedestrians to be safe and part of that is awareness and deterrence and enforcement. It all kind of goes hand in hand."
Lee High School continues to mourn the death of 16-year-old Alex Bridgman. Two weeks ago, he was struck and killed while returning from a school field trip. Bridgman was hit by a pick up truck near the intersection of Cahaba Valley Road and Cahaba Valley Parkway in Pelham, part of a group of students returning to Montgomery from a field trip to Huntsville. Another student who was trying to cross the street with Bridgman was also hit, receiving minor injuries. The group had stopped for a dinner break in the Birmingham suburb at the time of the accident.
And in 2012, a 16-year-old student was seriously injured when she was hit by a car while crossing the street in front of the high school. Officials say she was in a designated crosswalk when she was hit.
Police also discussed an accident this past fall in Montgomery near the intersection of Carmichael Road and Eastern Boulevard involving a 15-year-old girl. Lt. Oliver told WSFA she was waiting for her school bus when she was hit by a car and she passed away a month after the accident from her injuries.
Lee High School's principal Lorenza Pharrams says there are more than 1,000 students who walk home from the school each day.
"Some of those precautionary measures that were learned early on, we want to make certain that we're doing a good job of reinforcing those," Pharrams said. "We want to make sure that they understand that there are some dangers out there and they need to make certain that they're doing everything they can to ensure their own safety as they walk home."
Officials say the effort to fix the problem is ongoing and takes cooperation from all sides.

County deserved more points says Rhodes
8:30am Thursday 29th May 2014 in Sport By Tom Guest, @tomguestWN #WENsport
FRUSTRATED Steve Rhodes felt his side were hard done by in only taking one point more than Kent from the two sides' rain-ravaged LV= County Championship Division Two game at Tunbridge Wells.
No play was possible on yesterday's final day, which left Worcestershire stranded on 67-0 in reply to the hosts' first innings 258 all out.
The County took eight points to close the gap to four on Division Two leaders Hampshire, but the elements denied them the possibility of far greater rewards.
"The draw was incredibly frustrating," fumed Rhodes. "I am not allowed to criticise umpiring decisions, or groundstaff or ground conditions, so I won't do that.
"It's just sad that we were all over Kent, but we came away with eight points and they took seven. In my view, there was a chance we could have got out there to play yesterday, but I am not prepared to criticise any umpiring decision or groundstaff workings."
The New Road director of cricket added: "We can take so much out of the first day of the game – the wicket was flat and we lost the toss, but we started so well by making Daniel Bell-Drummond and Robert Key play a hell of a lot.
"We got the rewards with a couple of early wickets and we kept working hard, so all the bowlers bowled extremely well.
"Joe Leach took five wickets, but everyone was very much part of the unit and Saeed Ajmal did a great job. Most importantly for me, we fielded out of our skins – we saved 55 runs in the field in one innings, which is an amazing effort.
"The way we then set about chasing their score down and looking to get a lead was outstanding from Daryl Mitchell and Matt Pardoe."

AUGUSTA — The Maine House and Senate voted Wednesday to override Republican Gov. Paul LePage's veto of the state budget for the next two years, avoiding a state government shutdown and temporarily raising sales, meals and lodging taxes.
LePage reacted Wednesday afternoon during a news conference, saying, "It was a sad day for Maine."
He blasted Democrats and Republicans whom he said had created a "country club" of the State House and again disputed the notion that his budget, which cut about $400 million in state revenue-sharing with municipalities, would automatically result in property-tax increases.
"I'm very disappointed on this budget," LePage said. "Until we start understanding what makes an economy drive and why the southeast and the southwest and the Atlantic states have such good economies, until we emulate some of their behaviors we are not going to be anywheres but 50th place in the country for doing business."
The House voted 114-34 just after noon Wednesday. The Senate followed with a 26-9 vote. Both tallies exceeded the two-thirds threshold required by law to override the veto and enact a two-year budget, which will take effect on July 1. Wednesday's votes on the budget veto mark the first time that the Democrat-controlled Legislature has overridden one of LePage's more than 40 vetoes this session.
The vote in the House followed two hours of intense debate from both parties. The Senate vote followed nearly two hours of debate.
Sen. Dawn Hill, D-York, who chairs the legislative committee that crafted the budget deal, cast the override vote in stark terms.
"Today, you can no longer vote whether or not you agree with the budget or whether you like the budget. That's a concern you can bring up when we return in January," she said. "But today, your vote will be either to shut down or not to shut down and I hope you will think seriously about that."
The Senate vote came down to whether enough Republicans would stand by their original votes in support of the budget to override LePage's veto. Two of those Republicans urged their colleagues to reject the veto.
Sen. Brian Langley, R-Ellsworth, said his vote to override LePage's veto was meant to support the lawmakers who negotiated a budget during the past six months.
"This budget is ugly. We have no great options. We were briefed that we were voting for things we were diametrically opposed to," he said. "My vote today is a statement of support for our Republican team on the Appropriations Committee. For what it's worth, I've got your back."
Sen. Tom Saviello of Wilton, another of the Republicans to support the budget the first time around, touted Republican victories in the budget. Income-tax cuts lawmakers passed two years ago that have been championed by LePage and Republicans remain intact, he said, as well as a Republican-backed proposal forming a work group to review unfunded mandates on towns and cities.
"Today, I vote with my friend and fellow logger, Troy Jackson," Saviello said, referring to LePage's comments last week about the Democratic senator from Aroostook County.
Some House members spoke in similar terms, while many of the budget opponents said concern for constituents caused them to stick with their original votes against the deal.
"This budget represents poor choices and misplaced priorities," said Rep. Lawrence Lockman, R-Amherst. "It represents politics as usual in Augusta, a surrender to the status quo and a dangerous disregard for the challenges facing our state. … Mainers cannot afford to pay any more taxes."
Rep. Jeff Timberlake, R-Turner, agreed and said he supports neither the current budget compromise nor Gov. Paul LePage's original proposal.
"I don't want to raise any taxes," he said. "I want smaller government and I believe we can do it. We're headed for chaos and if we continue at this level it won't be sustainable."
Rep. Jarrod Crockett, R-Bethel, is one of the Republicans who voted against the budget earlier this month but flipped his vote on Wednesday.
"A state shutdown is a failure for all of us, there's no question about that," he said. "I'm either voting for a budget that I don't necessarily love or I can vote for a government shutdown. That's what the people back home see this as."
Rep. Benjamin Chipman, I-Portland, is another lawmaker who switched his vote to support the override Wednesday after voting June 13 against the budget. He said he changed his vote because a budget must be passed by Monday to avoid a state government shutdown.
"We're in a really tough spot right now," said Chipman. "We don't have a lot of time to renegotiate the budget and nobody wants to see a state shutdown. We don't have a lot of options. Somehow we have to find a way to go forward."
Rep. Kathleen Chase, R-Wells, the ranking Republican on the Appropriations Committee, said the stakes were too high to sustain LePage's veto.
"Voting (no) is absolutely nothing less than chaos," she said.
Rep. Peggy Rotundo, D-Lewiston, who co-chairs the Appropriations Committee, said the budget isn't perfect but a state shutdown would be devastating.
"There isn't a member in this chamber who couldn't find fault with some aspect of this budget," said Rotundo. "Yet this is a true compromise. … In a divided government we cannot demand all or nothing."
Tension began building over the biennial budget soon after LePage proposed it in January. Maine municipalities, along with numerous legislators, immediately singled out LePage's proposal to zero out funding for the four-decade-old municipal revenue sharing program for two years and his bids to cut back property tax relief programs as the major battleground. Together, those proposals would have saved some $275 million over the biennium, according to LePage.
A unanimous coalition of lawmakers on the Appropriations Committee disagreed and wrote a budget package that avoids nearly 65 percent of the revenue sharing cuts and restores some of the property tax relief programs. The lawmakers also introduced a $30 million hike in spending on public schools and funds to restore merit and longevity pay for state workers who have had their salaries frozen for more than four years.
Most Republicans, including LePage, agreed that the original budget document contained many provisions that they didn't like, but the real conflict came with the committee's final decisions, which included temporarily raising the sales tax from 5 percent to 5.5 percent and the meals and lodging tax from 7 percent to 8 percent. LePage immediately began talking about a veto, which he followed through with on Monday.
The biennial budget, because it was passed so late in the legislative session and is considered an emergency measure, required a two-thirds vote in the House and Senate. The enactment votes barely met that threshold, 102-43 in the House and 25-10 in the Senate. Five GOP senators and 23 House Republicans joined all Democratic senators and most House Democrats in voting June 13 to enact the budget.
Wednesday's House vote wasn't as close, with some Democrats, Republicans and independents who originally opposed the budget voting to override the veto. Many cited the threat of a state government shutdown as their motivation.
Without a budget in place by July 1, all but essential services of state government would shut down, repeating a 1991 scenario that Democrats and Republicans in the Legislature have said they want to avoid.
On Thursday, the governor proposed a temporary 60-day budget in the form of the continuing resolutions used by Congress to pay for ongoing government functions while he and legislators negotiate a new budget deal. Maine Attorney General Janet Mills, a Democrat, said such a plan would violate the Maine Constitution, but Michael Cianchette, LePage's chief legal counsel, said a short-term budget that does not call for state government to spend more than it takes in would not violate the Maine Constitution and could be presented as an emergency bill.
House Minority Leader Kenneth Fredette, R-Newport, said LePage's proposal was "unreasonable."
"If there were a viable alternative, a path to inject more Republicans values into this budget, I would consider it," said Fredette. "The choice we have is a shutdown or a budget compromise. The time for negotiation has passed. There is no plan B, nor have I been approached with a plan B."
The votes to override the budget veto put legislators in a position Wednesday to divvy up about $1.25 million for roughly 130 bills that passed without dedicated funding. The bills that gain funding will go to LePage, who could veto them, sign them or let them take effect without his signature.

Close to two dozen Seekonk middle school kids had to moved to a different bus on Monday morning after a car rear ended the back of the bus.
The bus had just made a stop when the car slammed into it from behind in front of the Tai Pan Restaurant on Fall River Avenue.
No children were injured in the accident; however, at this time it is unclear if the driver sustained any injuries.
A second school bus was brought to the scene to transport the students to school.

Show me a kid and I'll show you a Winter the dolphin fan.
Winter, the dolphin with the prosthetic tail and subject of the hit film Dolphin Tale, is a children's favorite for sure.
She's been an inspiration for several children and adults who have lost limbs.
There's a good chance no kid identifies with Winter more than 8-year-old Cieran Kelso of England.
"She was rescued 2006 wasn't she? My legs were cut off in 2006," said Kelso.
While Winter was actually rescued in 2005, Cieran's journey started in 2006.
That's when he contracted meningitis at just 13 months old just days after he learned to walk.
Kelso lost both legs below the knee and most of his finger tips were lost.
The young man eventually got prosthetic legs and because he loves swimming special flippers.
His dad got the idea for the flippers after seeing Dolphin Tale.
Last month, his parents gave the little boy the surprise of his life on a flight to the U-S.
They kept the secret for a year while planning the trip to the Clearwater Marine Aquarium.
Once there, Cieran strapped on his flippers, and had an experience that once only lived in his dreams.
"It was just emotional to be swimming with a dolphin, I love dolphins but the best dolphin I've ever loved is Winter," said Kelso.
It was also emotional for his parents.
"There's not words, how can you ever, ever beat this for a little boy at eight to swam with a dolphin that he's seen in a movie who he processes as the same as himself," said Cieran's stepmother Gemma Burnett.
"There's some pretty raw feelings that go into seeing Cieran swim with a dolphin. It's just a dream come true, not only for Cieran but for all of us." said Cieran's father Gary Kelso.

Science in the News, April 2003 -- Scientists at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and international health organizations are investigating an outbreak of a previously unidentified respiratory illness, which has been named Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS). It is believed that the outbreak began in the Guangdong province of China in November 2002. Most of the illnesses have occurred in China and Hong Kong, but patients in North America, Europe, and other parts of Asia have been identified as possible or confirmed SARS cases. According to the CDC as of April 23, 2003, a total of 4,288 suspected or probable SARS cases and 251 deaths have been reported to the World Health Organization. The United States has reported 39 probable cases of SARS. There have been no confirmed deaths in the U.S. from the disease.
One difficulty in determining the number of victims is that scientists have not yet developed a laboratory test to determine whether a patient has SARS. Symptoms of the infection in most patients are similar to common flu-like respiratory illnesses; in a relatively small percentage of patients, mostly elderly or frail victims, it progresses to life-threatening atypical pneumonia. Scientists at Erasmus University in Rotterdam, Netherlands have confirmed that new form of a coronavirus is almost certainly the cause. Coronaviruses, so-called because they appear to have a halo or corona when viewed under a microscope, include viruses that cause the common cold. Genetic sequencing of the suspected coronovirus indicate that the virus originated in animals, according to researchers at the University of Hong Kong.
It is believed that the illness is spread when an infected patient sneezes or coughs droplets containing the pathogen and then these droplets are inhaled by other nearby individuals. Most cases have occurred among health care workers and family members who had close contact with infected patients. However, the methods of transmission are uncertain. In one 33-story apartment in Hong Kong the illness spread widely from apartment to apartment. Scientists continue to investigate the origins and the etiology of the disease.
CDC: Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome The United States Centers for Disease Control tracks cases of suspected or probable cases of SARS worldwide. The CDC also provides information for health officials and the public, including answers to frequently asked questions, and a fact sheet.
WHO: Communicable Disease Surveillance and Response The World Health Organization tracks emerging infectious diseases and mounts responses to epidemics. Information on SARS is found on their Alert & Response Operations and Global Outbreak Alert & Response Network sites.
HowStuffWorks: How SARS Works This page from HowStuffWorks.com discusses what is currently known about the disease. The resources include indications of infection and treatment, possible cause(s), controlling the situation, and links for more information. Other related pages within the How Stuff Works site include How Viruses Work and How Your Immune System Works.
New Scientist: Hot Topics The British science magazine New Scientist has compiled articles and links on severe acute respiratory syndrome. Subsections include background material, recent updates, and information about the suspected pathogen.
New England Journal of Medicine: Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) This influential medical journal has made available several articles related to SARS and what is currently known about potential pathogens and modes of transmitting the infection.

In Their Own Words
Jul 30, 2009
"In the story's wake has come some backlash against ESPN and Andrews… Andrews was the victim of a pervert who crossed all lines of decency. To somehow question her style as a reporter or ESPN's role in creating a media sensation such as Andrews in the context of this scandal is not only unfair, it's indecent. Certainly there is never an inappropriate time to have intelligent conversations about networks' hiring practices, the networks' role in developing popular personalities and why certain personalities become popular. But it is apples and oranges. In this case, the blame starts and stops with those responsible for drilling a hole in a wall, taping an unsuspecting naked woman and posting that video on the Internet."
--Tom Jones, "Erin Andrews, Ben Roethlisberger Stories Put ESPN in Harsh Spotlight," St. Petersburg Times, July 24, 2009
"I went to KING 5 sports reporter Lisa Gangel and asked for her take. In some ways, Gangel is like Andrews: blonde, female and hoping to be respected rather than gawked. Seeing a colleague suffer struck Gangel on a personal level… 'She's very good at what she does. You only hope that people recognize your work first. It hurts to know what she's going through.' The Andrews incident has largely been labeled an Internet scandal… but really, it's a sports culture scandal. It's about men being men at their worst. It's about the false notion that it's OK to be [intolerant] and horny and barbaric because it's all part of the guy sports experience. It's our right, right? I'm not preaching, either. At times, I've been guilty of objectifying women, too. Most men are subtle about it, but this extreme case should make us understand the impact of our ridiculous ways."
--Jerry Brewster, "Erin Andrews Nude Video Is a Sick Crime; When Will Men Grow Up?," Seattle Times, July 23, 2009

I was hoping Hitachio Nest was gonna have a new Celebration ale for the year but no luck there but this newer offering was a nice find.Poured into a pint glass a jet black with a thin but tight formed dark mocha colored head,big dark roast coffee in the nose infused with orange-like fruitiness and bitter chocolate.Roasted to the hilt flavors only light caramel sweetness,very earthy with deep penetrating espresso/dark roast coffee flavors.This big stout gets to the point with its heavily roasted dryer character and the alcohol is pretty well hidden although its deep roastiness may get a bit much after awhile,still very solid.

bottle, no date, but sampled shortly after the first Mass. import.
A: black, mostly opaque body. the edges do let a bit of light through a deep mahogany. head is splotchy and sparse. some residue around glass but not much. leaves a bit to be desired. considering the espresso quality id appreciate a frothier head to complete the cappuccino image.
S: loads of sweet bean, espresso dust. some underlying sugar, bakers chocolate. familiar coffee liquor quality i find in heavily dosed coffee beers-hard to describe yet pretty obvious in the nose. some vanilla. nice but not overly complex.
T/M: big wave of roasted grain, bitter espresso, and finished with a stale acidity. drying and slick, the mouthfeel is coating but the body a little thin. a bit of bittersweet chocolate, hint of the vanilla nose. all in all this is a bit of a one trick pony. loads of espresso grounds on the mid and back palette, lingering finish thats bone dry, but not a whole lot else.
D: a nightcap, and one at that. alcohol is balanced and at an appropriate level for this beer.
overall this is a nice offering from Hitachino who regularly impresses me but this beer is a bit one dimensional. the coffee character is not interesting enough on its own, nor integrated enough to really work well.
cheers to JB for the sample.

A very very very deep black, I am talking black as night. With a nice stack of about two fingers worth of dark tan head covering the top of this deep black stout on pouring. It has the smell of a fresh cup of coffee from your local coffee shop, I am not talking about Starbucks, but your local shop. But with a hint of alcohol. Now to the taste category, it is very smooth for such a dark beer. The espresso flavor sticks out but not to the point of becoming to bitter to be drinkable. It is very drinkable for being a coffee stout. Not to bitter but also not to sweet. Upon finishing this one I defiantly had the urge to head back to the beer store and get another.

I feel like I was more impressed by this stout than most people. Very damn good.
A - Dark brown coffee color with a very porous and impressive white-brown head.
S - Typical stout smell layered with a little cacao, coffee, and vanilla. Does not smell very alcoholic. Smells more like a post-dinner beverage than a beer.
T - My favorite part of this beer. Definitely the most important part. While called espresso stout, the espresso does not overpower the rest of the beer. Actually quite mild. Has a little flavor of unsweetened/baking chocolate as well as a little bit of a chili pepper taste. Nicely balanced and the alcohol is hidden. Coffee, not espresso, on the back end.
M - Not too heavy for a beer as dark as this. Bites your tongue just a little. Feels okay.
O - I was pleasantly surprised by this one. Thought I was getting solid stout, and I got something more. I went back the same day and bought the last remaining bottle. I suspect I will be drinking this again in the near future.

This beer was served to me in the bottle which I poured myself into the glass. It is a deep brown-black opaque color with a tan head. The smell is of (naturally!) espresso, coffee and chocolate and the taste is the same. And yet, even though it tasted exactly as it should, it was still unique! The flavor was strong, like roasted coffee and bittersweet chocolate, a perfect balance. It was easy to drink, one of those beers that is gone before you realize it.

Thanks to Exiled for sharing this bottle.
The beer pours a dark brown to black color with a tan head. The aroma is roasted malt and coffee with a touch of chocolate.
The flavor is chocolate and coffee with some roasted malt.
Medium mouthfeel and medium carbonation. Relatively straight forward, but well done.

Pours dark brown, nearly black, with clear brown edges. Foam explosion of tan bubbles. Light, sweet espresso aroma with maybe a burnt malt/rice/grain scent? Not exactly sour, but different. Smooth mouthfeel more consistent with a milk stout. Full flavor; mostly coffee/espressso and grain, but a creeping oaky/veggie taste flows in and out. Someone mentioned sake, but it was kind of a light rice vinegar tartness in mine. Not enough to gag you, but to notice from time to time. Decent, not worth the price for the small bottle.

Had a bottle of this at FFF brewpub and poured into an imperial pint glass.
A - wow this was one beautiful stout when poured into the glass. It was a deep chocolate brown color with light golden rays of light streaming through it as well. Had a nice very espresso colored head that was very fluffy and creamy looking and reminded of the froth on a latte. The head stuck round for the whole beer and left a ton of lacing down the glass.
S - the first note that you can pick up on even as just pouring the beer is the smell of pure espresso beans. It reminds me of walking into a coffee shop for the first time. Also gets a whiff of a caramely sweetness in there as well and after awhile one could easily convince themselves that they are smelling a Caramel Maccahiato from Starbucks. Just the kind of smell one expects from a coffee beer.
T - the taste was not as coffeeish as I would expect from the smell as there are actually more sweeter notes in the taste than I picked up in the nose. Of course there is a nice roasted espresso taste in there but there was also a bit of chocolate and caramely sweetness in there as well which balances out the coffee flavor and prevents the beer from having a bitter coffee taste. The aftertaste was a bit more of the roasted, dark bitter coffee taste that one expects when sipping espresso and reminded me of the coffee dominance of this brew.
MF - The body was a bit light for the style of beer in my opinion as I wish it had just a bit more thickness to it. The after feeling I felt was a bit grainy in the mouth which made me wonder if little bits of the coffee did not get filtered out. In that aspect the beer had the MF of a coffee brewed by the press method. Interesting feeling esp. the graininess.
D - have to say I was super surprised by this beer. When I sat the little owl on the bottle I did not expect such a flavor explosion as I got in this one. This beer is a coffee lover's dream and really it was super drinkable as I felt I could have this beer to wake up with and drink with breakfast, as a nice accompaniment to an Italian meal or chocolate cake or even by itself as a wonderful after dinner drink. Good job to this brewery and hope that they have some other wonderful surprises waiting around the corner for me.
