I have a midlet that makes two consecutive http requests, one in a first thread, and the second by a method call made by the first thread that spawns another thread.
The second request gave me an exception when I tested it on the 3650 (ran perfectly on the emulator), but when I inserted a 500 ms delay before starting the second thread, I did not get the exception.
Can anybody shed some light on this ?

I really digg working at Microsoft while living in the Silicon Valley. Telling people I work for MSFT in the valley is the second biggest double take generator in my bag of tricks (behind my name and right before my hair without gel in it). I often hear "you guys have an office down here?" and "I thought it was a sales office". We do have a sales and research office if SF, but there are also a bunch of product development and research teams down here in Mountain View as well.
The campus is commonly referred to as "SVC" which stands for silicon valley campus. There isn't a birds-eye view available of the campus, but here is a zoomed in aerial shot of campus. Here are the product teams that have people down here:
- Toolbar (+ more)
- Sidebar Gadgets
- Hotmail (mail, contacts, calendars + more)
- Powerpoint and Office Art
- MacBu (entourage & vpc for sure + more)
- Windows (not sure what though)
- MSN TV (the msn service and hardware)
MS TVTV Services (ip based tv technology)
- Xbox Hardware (design + more I think)
- Search (labs + more I think)
The company formally known as MessagecastAlerts
There is also Niall's new rss team (or at least niall), and of course my new team dealing with information management. In fact, I'm pretty sure there are several more product teams down here that I just haven't met someone from. On top of product teams there are biz dev, evangelist, recruiting, general HR, administrative, sales and of course Microsoft Research peeps. If you work at SVC and your team or role is not listed add a comment and I'll update the list(s)!
I've learned a few cool things about campus since starting here. Perhaps my favorite factoid is that the four main buildings of SVC are each "themed" after a color of MSFT's logos (Blue, Green, Red, & Yellow – colors are featured in all msft logos…well except for xbox). The themes are water, land, fire, and wind.
We have our own company store to buy msft products from, a library, a technology showcase, cafeteria, a wells fargo atm, and sports facilities (volleyball and basketball courts).
My dirty little SVC secert: In building five on the second there is an illy coffee machine that I sometimes hit up when our coffee counter is closed. It is run by MSR and I probably need to out by who exactly and give them some replacement coffee.
I don't know the exact number of people working on the campus, but it feels like a mid-size high school. This is really perfect because you end up making random connections with people based on familiarity and common use patterns. You also end up seeing people you sort of recognize on flights to Redmond and have people to eat with when your flight is late or carpool to redmond campus with in order to beat the traffic.
Speaking of random connections, I just found a post by Dennis (from toolbar team) about SVC on the jobsblog. Here is a map of the companies Dennis mentioned to help visualize where we are located in context to some other valley based companies.
Hopefully that gave the flavor of SVC. I wanted to share a little bit further on why I like working for msft down here.
The diversity in people, ideas, and culture of technologists in the bay area is phenomenal. It is the silicon valley for a reason, but it is incredible the number of new ideas that are discussed and cross pollinated here. Also, having people work at big, small, and medium companies that all have different review cycles, reward structures, and product spaces helps drive better conversations and good entropy. Personally, I've found many amazing people at MSFT (like mc who is visiting SVC this week) but I also like meeting people with completely different frames of reference and ideas.
It is really cool to be an MSFT ambassador in the valley. Getting to attend, share and connect with people at things like Lunch 2.0 (well soon!), SDForum Sigs, and Computer History events is just plain old awesome. I love the personal connections that end up in lunches with new friends from competitors and partners alike where we compare notes on cafeteria food, culture, and development approaches.
Being close to world class universities, top tier venture capitalists and enthusiasts results in all sorts of cool events to attend – like startup school.
I hate to cite the weather especially since the last 2 months down here haven't been all that wonderful. But nothing beats a beautiful December day drive with the top down!
That's probably enough about SVC & the bay area for one night. If you have questions about the campus or life down here as a microsofter I'd love to answer them!
Updated: Corrected some team names per comments & added some more types of peeps that live here in SVC!

Using CSS (Cascading Style Sheets)
Cascading Style Sheets is a technology that has been around for several years. It's a great way to assign style properties to HTML elements in your web pages, and offers several significant benefits over the old way of putting style information directly into HTML tags.
Benefits of CSS
CSS is flexible
Styles can be written in one place (separate style sheets) and assigned to HTML elements through class or ID properties. It's way easier and quicker to change styles across a whole site when they're defined in one place.
CSS is Lightweight
Using CSS (like class="main-nav") creates far smaller HTML files than writing style into every HTML tags (like border="1″ cellpadding="3″ cellspacing="1″ backgroundcolor="#ffc").
CSS helps separate style from content
Keeping your style definitions separate from your content and content-structure makes it possible to re-purpose the same content for different media. This includes styling pages differently for printing, as well as other user agents like voice (text-to-speech) and mobile devices.
CSS for Web Design: Contents
- Introduction to CSS

- Inheritance and Cascading Styles in CSS
- Introduction to how styles apply in CSS through inheritance and cascading.
- Block vs Inline display style in CSS
- HTML elements can be displayed either in block or inline style. The difference between these is one of the most basic things you need to know in order to use CSS effectively.

Men's Soccer Preview: Focused on the Goal
Aug. 14, 2003
JU returns a wealth of experience with 20 returning players, including eight seniors and eight starters from a squad that won 10 games for only the third time at JU since 1979. Head coach Bob Moullin and the Dolphins now have the pieces in place to make another run at the Atlantic Sun championship.
The Dolphins have just missed the past two seasons, losing in the finals of the A-Sun Championship in 2001 and dropping a heartbreaker in overtime in the semifinals last season. The bitter postseason losses have left the Dolphins hungry for a taste of the title.
Leadership and team chemistry will be strengths for the Dolphins this season thanks to seven seniors who have seen a lot of action together, three of whom have been playing together for the last six years (defenders Brett Surrency and Nick Comerford and midfielder Stephen Decker). Two other veterans who have played together all of their lives, twins Richard and Brian Blackburn, and add to the solid corps of returning players.
With prolific strikers returning and the best defensive unit in school history still intact, look for the Dolphins to continue rising to their goal of making the NCAA Tournament.
JU will also face nationally-ranked South Carolina, College of Charleston, Gardner-Webb and host Wofford and Winthrop in the JU/Best Western Shootout Sept. 5 and 7.
In key A-Sun matchups, the Dolphins face last year's A-Sun Championship finalists UCF and Florida Atlantic on the road. In the final two matches of the regular season, the Dolphins host 2002 regular-season champion Mercer and travel to Stetson for the finale on Nov. 1, before preparing for the A-Sun Championship Nov. 13-15 in Macon, Ga.

modern living + innovative design + inspiring ideas

My favorite homes are designed so that adults and kids can co-exist happily in stylish, shared spaces. The kind of homes where the kids room design involves beds made up with beautiful bedding, yet still jumped on often.
A lot of people are under the assumption that great design and kids don't mix. There is an unspoken rule that when you have children you must shelf your sense of style and surrender to the plastic toys that be, by kid proofing your personal taste. Not true!
It took me a little while to debunk this myth. But, I've learned the art of creating a space that is inviting to both big and little people a like. It's not a mystery, and in fact, it is an easily learned skill.
There really isn't much that has to be altered as far your design atheistic goes. Yes, you may have to baby proof for a short season or pick a fabric that cleans up easily, but what it really requires is just a bit of adding in.
Take this shared bedroom (below) as an example. It's modern and stylish in every sense of the word, and surely pleasing to anyone's grown up taste. Yet, the first thing a kid would notice about this room is the cool drapes that hide the beds.
To the adults, perhaps, it is a solution to creating some privacy in a shared room. But to the child, it is a fort, a castle, and a secret place of escape (and the envy of all of their friends). The other thing that stands out in this room, and is a pleaser to both parties, is the brightly colored modern pendant light. It is one simple, well designed, element that makes the room. Again, the design is adult worthy and the color is kid happy.
Here are a few of my favorite pieces that add a modern and element into any space:
Hayden Marble Side Table, Pinguino Green and White Accent Lamp, Pascal White Plastic Wood Side Chair, Uno Black Owl Down Throw Pillow
Another way to "add in" is with accessories. You can easily add in a playful pillow or piece of art for a bit of fun and interest. Even tables that have a fun shape are loved equally among all ages. The room above is a great example of just making a few small additions that make all the difference.
So, no need to say goodbye to your style, nor be too stuffy or serious, just add in a bit of fun and imagination and everyone lives happily ever after.

Bookshelves can be a great feature in any room. They're an opportunity to showcase your interests and personality through books, art and curated items from traveling. There are times you can also run the risk of having storage units look cluttered and they end up being a catch-all.
Some may think it's a little daunting to style items or objects in plain sight. However, you'll be amazed how easily you can turn your own bookshelf into a fabulous focal point by following four simple steps.
1. Books: Mix it up – instead of going vertical, stack books horizontally. It will create a graphic feel and alternating stacks between vertical and horizontal can create a more relaxed look.
2. Incorporating Art: Having framed artwork adds another element to your bookcase. They can be propped up on shelves or can be leaned to create a layered effect.
3. Vary Scale and Height: Rather than simply lining items up on a bookshelf, try to create small groupings that combine similar items in different sizes, colors and textures.
4. Creating Vignettes: When you're looking at your bookshelf try to create little moments with items – a bowl of treasures or necklaces, a grouping of vases, layering art, stacking books with a few items on top. Imagine if someone was taking a photo of that little grouping and if it would look good.

Reid White Shelving Unit or Media Stand, Zuo Mission Bay 6-Level Distressed Natural Shelf
I've rounded up a few of my favorite bookshelves for you to place in any room so that you can create your very own beautiful bookshelf. If you're looking for a place for extra storage – a bookshelf does the trick, but in a stylish way.
Happy decorating!

As lovers of interior design, we believe in one thing... We are all entitled to a designer look no matter what our budget is. If you include designer pieces, even just one, it will automatically upgrade your space.
This modern dining room (above) is well curated and every detail is accounted for, including a beautiful gallery wall. However, without the Zuo Transparent Dining Chairs this space might not catch your eye. The simple, transparent seating addition makes all the difference. They are the perfect balance to all the other colors and textures in that room.
The living room above is very well designed and perfectly balanced. For any well designed room, lighting is so important, both natural and artificial. But it's not just the light emitted that's important, it's the style of the light.
The Jonathan Adler Ventana Floor Lamp has the perfect form, texture, color and height to compliment the design of the room. Modern floor lamps, like plants and flowers are a great way to add vertical style to a space.
Often times, designer products provide seamless design. They can make a large impact on your space without dominating the design. The Possini Euro White Flower Pendant above is the perfect addition to this simple, white dining room. Without that fun, designer pendant the dining room would be quite average.
This pink Robert Abbey Pink Gourd Table Lamp above provides a fun color pop in this stylish bedroom. Designer products often provide that small but necessary detail that is necessary for completing a stylish space.

You don't need a large budget or a room full of high-end designer products to have a stylish home. All you need are a couple details and a few great products at reasonable prices.

It feels like we've been secret admirers of Alessi forever. This maker of high-quality, museum-quality home decor continually re-defines the vanguard of modern Italian design. So when word came in that we would be carrying a selection of LED lighting designs from Alessi, you can imagine we were beside ourselves.
Produced in collaboration with Foreverlamp, a leading innovator in LED lighting technology, these Alessi table lamps and LED light bulbs showcase the company's cutting edge approach to both the aesthetic and technical side of design.
These Alessi UFO Portable LED Table Lights are a fun, high-style look for kids. And yes, they do wobble but they don't fall down.
As if their designs weren't cool enough, Alessi is committed to charitable work, both in Italy and abroad. They have worked in partnership with other companies on projects in seven countries and have raised money to help give a better future to children all over the world.
To learn a little more about Alessi and their designs, check out this video.

There is nothing like modern home design. It's clean, creative and fresh. If you are a minimalist by nature, than you are probably drawn to modern design. One thing that I've noticed about some modern decor is that it can tend to feel too cold.
If you like modern design but you like feeling homey and warm, you probably are trying to figure out how to create a space that you love. One suggestion is adding vintage elements to give a room some character and warmth. Above we see a vintage armoire piece placed in a modern living room. It totally works and gives off such a cool vibe. Also the of the color of the piece fits perfectly with the sofa and pillows.
In this dining space, we see several vintage elements. The brass light fixture fits nicely with the modern table and chairs. Also, you see that there is a mix of new modern chairs with vintage modern chairs.
Here is another vintage cabinet. This teal piece looks fantastic paired with gray fabric, which is always a more modern option. And it also looks great with the modern desk lamp. Pieces like this tell wonderful stories in a space. And if you are decorating a modern room, only use one to two pieces like this so that you don't create a flea market look.
In this small office, the owners have paired an aged, vintage desk with a modern office chair. It totally works and creates the best of both worlds! Adding a modern desk lamp is also a great accent for a vintage desk.
One last advice for mixing vintage with modern is try and find a vintage piece that is totally out of the box. When placing it in a minimalist space, it will completely wow your guests!

Murad Age Reform
Anti-Aging Products for Genetic Aging
Genetic Aging, or the natural process of aging that happens with time, results in a seemingly inevitable decrease in the production of skin-firming collagen and skin smoothing elastin. As the body begins to produce less of these two proteins, wrinkles may form and the skin loses it overall glow. Murad Age Reform anti-aging products combine Retinol-based treatments to boost collagen production with AHA and BHA treatments to increase cell turnover and accelerate the movement of younger, brighter, firmer skin to the surface. Murad Age Reform products, as part of an Inclusive Health™ lifestyle, can give you firmer, youthful skin even as collagen production decreases.
Anti-Aging Skin Care Resources
Before you select your anti-aging skin care regimen, make sure that you know the facts about Genetic Aging, wrinkles, loose skin and skin care.
Advice on Anti-Aging Skin Care


text: Matthew: The account does make a difference when VOStore attempts to access the requested data. If VOStore gets an authenticated request for local data that belongs to another user ID, how does VOStore gain access to the data? The challenge is that VOStore is being used to access both local data owned by an individual, as well as data that is being published into VOSpace. Access to data in VOSpace can be achieved by having VOStore run under the VOSpace account ID. Access to data owned by an individual requires either that VOStore run under the individual's account, or that permission be given by the individual for access by the accoun that VOStore is run under. One way out is to assume VOSTore is run under the account that corresponds to VOSpace. Then VOSpace can manage the authorization independently of VOStore. Reagan >Hi, > >I would argue that this is an implementation issue: you have to make >sure that VOStore can fulfil what it promises. > >The required functionality for authentication is just that the >VOStore can recognise a valid message, e.g. the certificate used to >sign the SOAP message has the NVO CA in its certificate chain. > > Cheers, > > Matthew > >Reagan Moore wrote: > >>Matthew: >>This is where we differ in the specification. >> >>Which account does VOStore run under on the local storage system? >> >>Reagan >> >>>Hi, >>> >>>If the user is accessing the local storage system directly then >>>they can do whatever they want.

Rated 1 out of 5 by KEL72 Absolute Nightmare My stay at the Sheraton Atlantic City was, without question, my worst hotel experience to date. I was placed in a room that was absolutely filthy - dirty towels, dirty carpeting, dust caked onto the telephone and other fixtures. I immediately requested a room change, which took about 30min - 45min to get relocated to a "pure room." Keep in mind, this was at about 9pm on night before I was set to take the NJ Bar Exam next door at the Convention Center. After being moved to the Pure Room, I immediately put in a request for breakfast using the card located outside of the door - I requested that breakfast be delivered no later than 6:45am. Despite calling hospitality & guest services at 6:50, 7am, and 7:15am, explaining to Sheraton staff that time was of the essence because I had to leave by 7:30am to take the bar exam, and being assured that the meal was on its way, breakfast was never served. I was informed by the individual staying in the room with me that it was finally delivered (and promptly turned away) at 8am. When voicing my complaints, hotel staff at the front desk was dismissive and of no help. August 11, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by Max5 Did not enjoy this hotel Paid way too much for the service I received. July 31, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by DrSmithNJ Dr. J I was ignored at check-in as a SPG Gold member. They did not value my membership nor money... I will return to Atlantic City. However, this will be one of the cities in which I will spend my money at another hotel in order to feel appreciated! I did not even get my SPG welcome gift! July 29, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Jbfjersey Nice stay We've stayed at this hotel for a couple years now and it's very nice. Unfortunately our room this year smelled of cigarette smoke, although it was a non-smoking room. I come across this a lot though, so it wasn't a major discomfort. The other problem was the slamming of room doors at 6am. But that's just other guests being rude and inconsiderate. August 18, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by rhythmone Great for the price I booked two nights at $89 a night. Everything was great except the $15 parking fee per day and the $10 internet fee per day. C'mon guys WIFI doesn't cost that much to install and maintain nor does installing CAT6 in the room for a data port. Short of that my only complaint is there was no exhaust fan in the bathroom. For the price and such the room was very clean and smelled great. The bed and linens were nice and the staff was pleasant. Would definitely come back at that price. August 16, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by anotherGuest Good Hotel requiring some improvements The lobby of the Hotel is nice and smells fresh. The check-in process was quick and smooth. The receptionist was very nice and helpful. However, once you go up to the rooms, the carpet in the hallways were a bit old and the air was not very clean. The room size was great and average amenities. The service was terrible. I had requested a fridge be sent to my room upon check-in, which they told me would be sent to the room immediately. I had to call back 2 more times over the course of 4 hours before actually getting the fridge. And the cleaning crew was un-friendly and did not smile. The hotel is 4 blocks from the beach and right by the Convention Center as well as right by the Tangers Outlets, which for me was a great a location. (There is no Casino in the Hotel.)

Rated 2 out of 5 by SHP01 Hotel needs a good cleaning This hotel is very tired. Carpet in our room needed to be shampooed desperately. In addition, the bathroom floor was dirty aroung the edges and corners. August 18, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by LivesInASuitcase Worst Sheraton Experience I travel frequently for work, and I have to say that this is one of the worst Sheratons I've ever had the misfortune to stay at. The room smelled of smoke covered up by cheap perfume. The telephone didn't work. The outlets in the bathroom didn't work. There was no wifi. The shower barely worked. And the best part of all was that when I brought this all to the attention of the manager, he simply said "Sorry". If I were Starwood, I would seriously consider removing the Sheraton name from this hotel. It's dragging down the brand. June 11, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by KayBea Great Hotel, but elevators smell! I have stayed at the Sheraton in AC many times, and it is a decent place to stay. My only issue is that the elevators smell bad, especially the one on the second floor leading down to the Tun Tavern. I think that the carpeting really needs to be shampooed frequently and the walls inside of the elevators need to be cleaned from top to bottom on a regular schedule. Other than that, it was a great stay. August 15, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Selener52 Excellent I was vacationing with my son. The room was very spacious and clean. Most of all, check out was at 12 noon. I was able to sleep late and stay out longer. August 15, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by KL66 This hotel may look like a bargain when you book, but..... You may receive a good price when you book this hotel; beware almost everything is an extra cost. No free Wi-Fi in your room, no free breakfast, $15 to self park, very nice staff that greet you when you drive up to the hotel to check in and they take your car keys, but do not tell you that it is for $25 valet parking (very sneaky and over priced). You never have these issues at other "chain" hotels!!!!! August 12, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Hermina40 The location was great but free wifi was not available in the room The proximity to the train station and beach was great for our family. The rooms were large and comfortable. We were disappointed to find that the only free wifi was in the business center and without any written material regarding local restaurants, and no ability to do internet research, we had a hard time finding good local restaurants without a lot of driving around or walking. Most hotels I have stayed with before all have free wifi in the room. August 11, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by cheetahmama2 Last Minute Stay There were so many bad reviews about the casino hotels and I needed to get a great deal...WELL THIS SHERATON FILLED THE BILL! I absolutely loved the roominess & cleanliness of my room and the whole hotel...NOT TO MENTION THE PRICE WAS RIGHT and it was directly across the street from the train station! July 28, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by Jamie21 Close to the train but that is the only positive First room the toilet didn't work. But had a nice view. Second room they said had a view, sure did, of the highway, and the shower made this god awful noise every time we turned it on. Beds are incredibly uncomfortable. Had to call security because the people on our floor were so loud for well over 30 minutes. Cab fares from hotel to Boardwalk are ridiculous. Breakfast from the 2nd floor cafe was disgusting andn over priced. We had them remove the buffet and left. When I went down to ask the front desk a question on our 2nd day the lady at the desk, who's name I couldn't pronounce "told me to hold on that she was busy." The other lady helped the person behind me. Pay a little more and stay on the Boardwalk. February 19, 2012
Rated 1 out of 5 by Manju WORSE HOTEL STAY EVER!!!!!!! My family and I stayed at this hotel for 1 night and had to change rooms 3 times only to discover a DIRTY USED LOOFA in the shower WHILE MY WIFE WAS IN THE SHOWER. I have never been more disgusted in my life. In our first room the bedding was dirty (footprints and dirt on the bed skirts and black marks on the white comforter), an exposed wall outlet with an unscrewed faceplate, there was gum on the headboard and wall and worst of all there was mold in the lid of the ice chest. The front desk was very nice and apologetic and moved us to another room. Walking into the second room we were greeted with a horrible foul smell and a filthy carpet. There were crumbs in the desk chair, dust on the tables, a blunt cigar in the safe that my four year old son picked up, a non-working lamp and stains on the sheets. The front desk was very apologetic and once again moved us to another room. The third room we thought was okay when we walked in and inspected. The lamp was not working and The bed skirts had a few stains but all of the sheets and comforters were clean and overall the entire room looked clean. Late that night my wife got in the shower and yelled for me. To my surprise there was a used loofa/sponge hanging from the shower curtain. I could not believe that my wife was in the shower looking at a dirty loofa with hairs in it that didn't belong to me or my family. At that point we didn't want our children to touch anything and wanted to leave the hotel completely. While collecting their shoes we found a McDonalds Happy Meal box with trash in it behind the chair. My wife and I are beyond disgusted. I had a better experience in cheap highway motel and expected so much more from a Sheraton Hotel. We have stayed at many Sheraton Hotels and have never had an experience like this. The lobby, gym and pool are nice but our rooms were HORRIBLE!! How can you send a customer to 3 dirty rooms and still not get it right?? The cleaning staff needs to be properly trained or fired and management needs to enforce company standards or be replaced by managers who will. My opionion has forever changed about the Sheraton Name. July 6, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Melaajuly281993 Great hotel Amazing stay best weekend i could of had August 4, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by Dave24 A good hotel for an overnight stay! I've stayed at the Sheraton AC on more than a few occasions and for an overnight stay it's a good choice. This hotel has great city views and is within walking distance of a lot of shops and restaurants. If you plan on going to the casino's you can take a quick drive (under 5 mins.) or grab a cab. I have never experienced bad customer service and am always greeted with a friendly smile at check in. My only negative comment about the hotel is that the property already seems to look a bit dated and most rooms I have stayed in are starting to show some wear and tear. I hope a remodel is in the near future for this hotel. June 13, 2012
Rated 2 out of 5 by emtkef Not what I expected The only thing that truly impressed me was the valet parking attendant who brought my cash to me that I accidentally left in my Jeep. I asked to have a gift placed in my friend's room for his arrival. They placed it in the wrong room then lost it and it never turned up. The food was far from great. I was there for a conference. The only meals that were good were the lunches. Breakfast was mediocre and dinners were terrible. I have always had high expectations of Sheraton Hotels, this was far from what I expected when traveling to Atlantic City. November 21, 2011
Rated 4 out of 5 by Mike1S Stay in Atlantic City We had a wonderful stay at the Sheraton Atlantic City. The hotel and staff were very accommodating. The only critique I could give is that the staff should be more knowledgeable of the local ongoings - that is, being able to give basic information regarding local transportation (eg. Jitney line) and were local places of worship would be located. In both instances, the hotel staff at the front desk did not know the specific information when they should have. Otherwise, the stay was great. August 4, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by Angel12345 Just got here today So far our stay has been Horrible!! We are Spg gold members. Seems so far that this hotel picks and chooses who they want upgrade. When we got here today, The check in guy didn't even let me get out my mouth good before he told me no club rooms were available because they were sold out to a large group that was comming, he didn't even show me which way the rooms were, he checked me in like this place is a hotel 6. We came upstairs and checked to see if i could purchase a club room online and rooms were open. Called down stairs and was put on hold for about 5 min and was told the Club Rooms were on hold for maintenance to get them ready for the weekend. Um, I believe today is Monday, do they always get the Club rooms ready a week ahead of time??? Never ran into that issue. So was told the pool closed at 10pm, so at 8, we put our suites on, go to the pool, oh, closed early, sorry!!! We work out instead, call to order room service at 1120pm, oh kitchen is closed, when all the menus say order until 12pm. This has by far been our worst stay in a starwood property, how in the world will we enjoy our stay until Thursday!!! Whats next??? Ive never complained about a hotel ever, we vacation about every 4-6 weeks, this place is nothing like a normal starwood hotel!!! June 18, 2012

Rated 4 out of 5 by RACB very nice This hotel is very nice. All of the public areas are clean and well taken care of. The rooms are very nice with a good flat screen tv and comfortable beds. The shower is very good too. The location is very close to the highway that takes you to the airport. You can walk to Starbucks and several restaurants in an outdoor outlet mall right down the street. The only negative was the restaurant. We had breakfast there one day because we did not have the time to go somewhere else. The prices were ridiculous so it made sense to get the buffet. Very disappointed. The food was not kept hot and the eggs and french toast were tasteless. Unless you are rushed, do not eat the breakfast buffet. They do not put a lot of effort into it. July 29, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Maya26 Great stay This place was great it's my second time staying there everyone was very friendly who was working , they are pet friendly my cairn terrier loved it . The room was very clean and nice it's only a short walk to the casinos and the broad walk. And you are right next to the tanger outlets. They have a Starbucks in the gift shop which is great. You have to pay for parking, to self park it's $15 a day and valet parking is $25 a day. I like how this hotel is not so busy but you are still near all that AC has to offer. June 19, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Vecvecan Accessibilty It would have been better if there accessibility on the other side of the hotel coming from the Outlet store instead on going around the building to get to the entrance of the hotel. August 5, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by Kyler It's just an OK hotel The location of the hotel was great, the lobby was very nice but once inside my room, I was disappointed. Having been either a Starwood platinum or gold member for many years, I have seen a lot of properties. My room was worn and tired. The carpet had, what I hope was only coffee or soda stains all over it. One side of the bed was sagging. The night stand was dirty on top, the tv had something splattered on the screen....overall the room was in worst condition I've seen in any Starwood property over the last 12 years. From the looks of the other reviews, maybe my room was just execeptional worn. I have no complaints of the staff, it's just time for a room remodel. After only 20 minutes in the room, I remember saying to myself, I won't stay here again. March 13, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by Mikeisachillguy Awesome but BE CAREFUL! !! Memorial Day Weekend 2014.The rooms were very comfy and clean. The view of the city was fantastic. The price was great. The location as opposed to the other casino hotels this spot gave a great secluded feel..Why do I say be careful? Well to be short it all started at check in..the "excuse me sir your card is not working"...so EMBARRASSING and Mohammed whom called it out loud in front of my girlfriend on our 5 year anniversary and his colleague and other guest waiting behind me. Not discreet at all and it was his mistake after having me call my platinum status credit card company in front of him and on speaker phone to prove more than enough funds were available to cover my stay. As most hotels a hold was put on for $100.00 in case I had incidents or ordered room service. Room service was called on I believe day 3 into my stay for a small order of say $26.oo ..why did the food come n delicious might I add along with a manager of some type stating my food was not paid for or covered and that it needed to be paid right away .. EMBARRASSING! Found all this out via my girl because she came out of pocket while I was getting ice ...What was the deposit for ???? Lastly checked out.. they said drop off key your all set n paid for..Great! NOT ...called about my deposit that was supposed to be on hold n was not used due too room order incident....another slap in the face by Danielle(with company almost 7 years) in accounting stating that the Sheraton was keeping my $100 and they were going to take another $155.00 out of my account because there was an over site and that my rooms were in fact not paid for.. Yeah CRAZY!!...She was rude , unapologetic, kept saying my card was declined, made me feel like I was broke and with no actual funds to pay .. as if she was a debt collector harassing someone for thousands of dollars. I was appalled , and disgusted, shocked and totally pissed because I was no longer in AC. Nadir hotel manager was not available for comment. She wouldn't even let me speak to him. She would nt even provide her last name.. just bad ..you can feel my frustration. Other than that spot was totally Awesome!! .. p.s Yes they got their money but wait till I visit again :):):) Hotel has not gotten back to me since and trust me I was calm and collect the whole time.

Rated 1 out of 5 by selina116 Memorial Day Weekend I recently stayed at your Atlantic City Sheraton with my family and I felt uncomfortable the entire time. Why? Because of the uncleanly matter of everything. We encountered dirty dishes stacked up on the floor upon entering our room. Our room had noticeable smudges on the mirrors, TV, dressers, just about everything. The room had been serviced by housekeeping but they did a poor job! The bathroom floor looked dirty. The shams on the bed were dirty. Our comforter had a stain on it. The knob on the thermostat was dirty. The carpet was filthy. I have never stayed in an establishment that was so unkept. When my family and I went to the club lounge it got worse. The floors were sticky. The tables were dirty. The small coffee and tea pots with the hot water were so marked up I was afraid to eat or drink anything. I did attempt to eat some cheese and sliced peppers but when I took a fork out of the caddy I drew a dirty fork with chocolate residue. On the next day the club lounge was in the same condition. I don't think I could ever stay at this Sheraton again. I think the problem is the staff doesn't care anything about how the consumer(I) views the hotel. I realize you get pretty sizable business being only a stone throw away from the convention center, but it shouldn't be a pass to provide substandard service, all around. I have stayed in many hotels over the years and I have never seen anything like this. Not from a hotel that's suppose to be 3 stars or better. May 31, 2012
Rated 1 out of 5 by coastiewife13 Huge Disappointment. We chose this hotel because of the price & "convienence" to the casino's. The first issue I had was the parking, NOWHERE during the reservation did it mention I would have to pay for parking (esp. the amount I was charged) I have never been to a hotel where I had to pay to park there, do they expect people not to park there? Not to mention, I paid a certain amount for one day, and was charged for 2. I checked in that afternoon and left mid-morning, not even a full 24 hours. When I called to inquire about this insane charge, they told me it was because I parked overnight. Well, I didn't pay for a hotel for the evening, I paid to spend the night. At any cost, the lady who checked me in did not inform me it would be double what we paid for overnight parking. Otherwise, we would have parked on the street. The second issue we had was the room service. We were starving when we arrived and wanted something quick while getting dressed before venturing out so we ordered "room service". Where we were told we had to go pick it up, but it was located in the back of the building. No worries, until my husband had to go outside to get the food. Needless to say we way overpaid for some chicken strips and cheese sticks. Should have went to Applebees (right beside it) for a real meal, and better price! The third complaint is how I heard everything in the ajoining rooms. I woke up to someone using the bathroom, lovely! And lastly, the condition was poor, the bathroom floor had some sticky residue on it, with a pink substance in the shower. The carpet was stained, and smelled like puke. Not exactly what I would call 3.5 star worthy. Will definintely not be back, and feel like I way over paid, we should have stayed at one of the casino's since we ended up paying over what we we thought with the included parking the so-called room service. February 19, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by Garshuo Front desk staff neither professional nor friendly My stay was an overall good experience, except for the neither professional nor friendly front desk staff. When I checked in and asked for access to club lounge, I was told the charge is $50 per person. I was surprised since I got free access or mild charge at other Sheraton hotels. Instead of explaining the different standard, the staff simply shrugged and said "Oh well welcome to Atlantic city." The next morning I ask the front desk which bus to take to go to casinos, The response is simply: "Go across the street and look up to the signs." Is it that hard to tell us the bus number? At all the other spg hotels I have been to, the staff always patiently introduce the local transportation. This is absolutely the worst I have ever experienced. July 24, 2014

There are historic ice skating relics that date back as far as 3000 B.C. But, inline roller skates probably originated much later in Scandinavia or Northern Europe where ice skating was an easy way to travel short distances. By the early 17th century, these early Dutch called themselves skeelers and skated on frozen canals in the winter. They eventually used a primitive form of roller skate, made by attaching wooden spools to a platform to allow similar travel in warmer weather.
The first officially documented inline skate actually appeared in London in 1760. The progression from transportation, to a substitute for on stage ice skating, to recreational skating, to fitness skating and eventually to inline competitive sports has been closely linked to the development of inline skate technology.
Let's follow the developments and technological improvements that have been made to the original inline skates that lead to the comfortable and sometimes highly specialized equipment used by inline skaters today.
The first documented reference to inline or roller skating was left by a London stage performer. The inventor of these skates, which were probably an inline design, is unknown and is lost in history.
The first known inventor of an inline roller skate was John Joseph Merlin. Merlin was born on September 17, 1735 in Huys, Belgium. He grew up to become a musical instrument maker and accomplished mechanical inventor. One of his inventions was a pair of skates with single line of small metal wheels. He wore the skates as a publicity stunt to promote his museum, and from the beginning, stopping was a problem. It is believed that one of his ballroom stunts ended in a dramatic crash into a mirrored wall because of this defect. For the next century roller skate wheels followed the inline design alignment.
1789 The inline skate idea made its way to France in 1789 with Lodewijik Maximilian Van Lede and his skate that he called the patin a terre which translates from French to "land skates" or "earth skates". Van Lede's skates consisted of an iron plate with wooden wheels attached. He was a sculptor at the Academy Bruges in Paris and was considered as very eccentric.
