A Movie A Day: Quint on DAISY KENYON (1947)
Anything logical makes me want to fight for some reason.
Ahoy, squirts! Quint here with today's installment of A Movie A Day.
[For those now joining us, A Movie A Day is my attempt at filling in gaps in my film knowledge. My DVD collection is thousands strong, many of them films I haven't seen yet, but picked up as I scoured used DVD stores. Each day I'll pull a previously unseen film from my collection or from my DVR and discuss it here. Each movie will have some sort of connection to the one before it, be it cast or crew member.]
Today we follow both Henry Fonda and Dana Andrews back 18 years from yesterday's AMAD Battle of the Bulge to today's DAISY KENYON. Andrews and Fonda play two points of a love triangle, the third point being Joan Crawford as the title character.
I don't know what I expected when I started this movie… maybe a more Noiry movie since it's under the "Fox Noir" banner. There's no real crime here and you'd be hard pressed to put Joan Crawford's character in a classic femme fatale mold. The only thing noir about this film at all is the great black and white photography by Leon Shamroy (THE KING AND I, PLANET OF THE APES).
Hell, even the description on the back of the DVD calls it a melodrama and boy it sure is. I don't know if I was just tired or in the wrong mood, but I found this flick to be Dull (with a capital D).
The performances weren't bad, but there's nobody to like in this movie and nobody mean or shitty enough to like hating.
Basically Dana Andrews is an easy going married man having a continuing affair with Crawford because his wife Lucille (Ruth Warrick) is pretty much a bitch who hits their kids whom he adores and they, in turn, adore him. He's not willing to leave his family life, despite the love he feels for Crawford and that opens the door for serviceman Henry Fonda.
Fonda's the opposite of Andrews. His love for Kenyon is not hidden behind a politician's smile, it comes with no strings attached. He's willing to marry her, to give his life to her, after only days of knowing her, which is incredibly appealing to the lady.
Of course they get married and when Andrews' happy life goes into the shitter he turns, as he always has, to Daisy. But this time she can't take him in, shelter him from his storm, and he ends up swirling down the vortex.
All three are really good in the film, but Fonda's too one note and too easy to let things happen as they happen when Andrews pushes hard to win Daisy back. Andrews makes some really bad decisions that feel selfish even when they're not just because he seems to throw everything good in his life away for nothing, including his little girls.
Crawford makes out the best of the three as she's genuinely torn between her love of two men. This love is different for each person. For Andrews it's a raw love, the love of something she knows she can never get fully. For Fonda her love is less passionate, but more real.
Final Thoughts: It's a story we've seen before and this telling won't set your pants on fire, despite some nice cinematography, some solid direction by Otto Preminger. I wasn't impressed with this one, sadly.
The schedule for the next few days is:
Tuesday, September 30th: LAURA (1944)
Wednesday, October 1st – Friday, October 31st: H-MAD! Horror Movie A Day! Check out the list here!
Tomorrow's our last regular AMAD before the randomized All Horror October Movie A Day kicks in! We follow Preminger over to LAURA, a movie that promises to make more of an impression on me than today's did.

I Just Watched That PBS 5 Hour AMERICAN EXPERIENCE on WARNER BRO
by Red Dawn Don
I Just Watched That PBS 5 Hour AMERICAN EXPERIENCE on WARNER BROTHERS. It said that JOAN CRAWFORD played likeable in her films and was a (Bitchy) DIVA in real life. Whereas, BETTE DAVIS was acting (Bitchy) in her films and very friendly in real life. Of course I am paraphraising. It was also funny how many unknown actors got their big break when other big stars turned down a film role. I enjoyed the first 3 hours more than the last 2 hours.

I've seen Laura twice
by BillEmic
Both times in film studies classes. It's a fairly seminal film, but for some reason I'm not crazy about it. I find the actors who are in it, as well as the famous score, to be better than the movie itself. But I'm certain Quint will be able to appreciate it.

Re: "Trails for mountain bikers" (Your Views, April 30) If Les amis de la montagne undertook a study of mountain biking on Mount Royal in 2007, it was with the explicit purpose of opening dialogue between the mountain biking community and those in the position of authority to take action, namely the City of Montreal.
It's an annual rite of spring for mountain bikers keen to put rubber on dirt after the long winter: riding the illegal trails in the woods of Mount Royal. Like the many unsanctioned footpaths that criss-cross the mountain, these three or four biking trails are primarily created through use — the repeated passage of riders along a similar line gradually wears a track roughly the width of a bicycle.
City spokesperson Jacques-Alain Lavallée said a new plan will involve a "partial reworking of the Cedar/Côte-des-Neiges intersection."

My first time working with curly knit striped jersey – a bit intimidating at first because of the curls, but I chose a simple batwing top and the stripes were much easier to work with. However the look was too slouchy for me, so I decided it would be a permanent pajama top – clothes need to be more fitted for me to step outside!

A-yellow amber body, very thin white ring head.
S-cabbage, antiseptic
T-stale hop taste, some cereal and medicinal aftertaste.

500 mL can from the LCBO, best before May 2012. I have tried the mocne/strong lager from this brewery and it was decent-to-tolerable, but I'm a little more picky about pilseners.
Pours a familiar pale golden-yellow colour, with slightly more than a finger of bone-white head seated on the surface. It fizzles out quickly, leaving patchy wisps of film and a thin collar around the edge. It looks fine but the aroma (or odour, rather) is a bit off-putting... there are some bready malts on the nose, maybe a bit of hay, but there is a lot of vegetal character. The ethanol is also noticeable, which is hard to believe given the abv.
It tastes a bit better than it smells, but not by much. Lots of grainy malt and bready sweetness, with very little balancing hops. The same cooked-corn-and-cabbage notes from the nose are here in force. Weird, unpleasant solvent-like note toward the finish that may or may not be the missing hops... it lingers briefly in the aftertaste and dries the palate a bit. Thin-bodied and watery, with good, moderate carbonation levels.
This is the worst Polish beer I've yet tried, and definitely the worst pilsener I've had in a long time, if you exclude the 'fake' ones like Molson's Old Style Pilsner or Lakeport's equivalent. I consider myself a pretty generous reviewer as far as fizzy yellow lagers go, but even if I took this as a Euro pale (which it more closely resembles), it's an underwhelming pint. Do yourself a favour and don't bother with this.

Pours a golden straw colour with a large, soapy white head that burns off within a few minutes without leaving any lace behind.
Smells of stale white bread, wet wheat and corn syrup with metallic and astringent notes and a hint of floral hops.
Tastes like sweet grains at first, but quickly reveals metal and dirt flavours. A sweet syrupy flavour and one of vermouth-like alcohol are also present.
Quite thin-bodied with a medium carbonation level. Dry on the tongue. The finish is fairly sweet and the aftertaste has an apple juice-like flavour to it.
A well below average effort. Very little premium, or even pilsener about it. Its minor thirst quenching qualities are outweighed by off-putting flavours and aromas. I can't see a situation where I'd ever buy this again on purpose.

500 ml can, served cold and poured into a pint glass. Purchased from LCBO.
Appearance - Piss yellow color spilled into the glass and left about 1 finger of head that dissipated quickly. No lacing to speak of and only a few bubbles present.
Smell - Grassy, light floral notes, hints of bread which were a bit odd in a pilsener. Other than that not much, but was fairly fresh smelling.
Taste - Bready (again), slight hop bite and a bit of pepper and spice on the back end. Small lingering aftertaste of the beer itself. Also detected what i thought were trace amounts of apple.
Mouthfeel - Crisp and fairly refreshing, kind of pops on the tongue due to the pepper, left a slight tingling there. Medium carbonation.
Overall - A little different than many of the pilseners I've had, it seems almost misclassified as a Pils, due to the strong pepper presence which wasn't unpleasant but different. I feel that i may have enjoyed this a bit more than some of the other reviewers.

.5L emptied into a Pokal.
A: Pours golden orange with a soapy 1-finger white head which quickly receeds to a trace ring. No lacing.
S: Sweet bready malt, yeast, cereals, caramel, hint of hops. Within 10 minutes, the smell turns sour.
M: Light bodied with some carbonation.
T: Rather unbalanced malt sweetness mixed with very little hop profile. Grainy malt towards the end. Finish is not crisp. Finally, some spicy hops in the aftertaste, but not much.
D: This is supposed to be a Pilsener? By whose definition? This comes off as a poor example of a Euro Lager. Not sure what to make of this one. I'm just not impressed.

One of the original problems for industrial breweries was that consumers' preference for ultra-pale, ultra-bland beer resulted in brews that could not generate a foamy head the way all-malt beers did. This stocky, super-retentive and ultra-white cap shows they've obviously found a solution. And I must say, it goes nice with the shimmering golden complexion.
But it sure does stink! Whatever chemical stabilizers were added to improve head retention and stability, they've really gone and stunk the joint up. Images of moldy processed white bread (if such a thing does go moldy) and giant stainless steel vats of corn syrup come to mind; this thing smells remarkably different from an all-malt lager.
Okocim Pils taste like the last place entry in a deep south cornbread bake-off. It has a greasy, buttery texture and a terribly insipid flavour consisting of corn and bread. The aftertaste smacks of something very solvent-y that feels as though it shouldn't be in there and makes you slightly anxious about what you have just put in your body.
A wise thinker once pointed out that differences of degree do turn into differences of kind: pluck a man's hair out one strand at a time and eventually he'll be bald. Okocim Pils is a beer that has had all its strands plucked; it is a bald shadow of what a real pilsner is. And despite whatever mass market allure it may have, I personally find little appeal in drinking it.
Now I know how the dog feels when we tell her we're taking her to the park and take her to the vet instead. Contrary to what this brewer claims, nothing about Okocim Pils is traditional or premium or, save for the appearance, even remotely pilsner-like. It's not only misleading, but also disappointing considering these guys do make a few decent beers.

There is an increasing acknowledgement of the value that peer support specialists bring to the behavioral health continuum of services and supports. As this emerging workforce evolves, states and organizations are developing requirements for training, supervision and certification.
This webinar will explore the unique characteristics intrinsic in the training, supervision and certification of adult, family, and youth peer support specialists. Participants will be provided with a historical perspective of the beginnings of the standardization of adult peer support and will learn about current and emerging best practices in adult, family and youth peer support.
A variety of training curricula, supervision models and certification programs that are currently being utilized will be discussed, and participants will develop a greater understanding of the key elements of each.
While this webinar is Part 3 of a 3-Part Series, all are welcome!

Social and New Media for Mental Health Organizations
Wednesday, August 20, 3:00 pm Eastern Time
Social and new media are changing how we interact and communicate. We all know we're supposed to have and maintain various social media accounts for our organizations and incorporate technology into everything we do. But how do we turn a "like" or a "tweet" into positive change for the mental health of all Americans? How can we use a smart phone to enable recovery? Do we really need an Instagram? And how do we understand which social and new media tools we should use (and which to leave behind) when the landscape changes every day?
Designed for staff at mental health organizations who don't use social media every day, the webinar will begin with a quick review of social media tools, the audiences they help us reach, and what kind of content works best. Then we will look at emerging trends and discuss how to measure effectiveness. We will explore how some nonprofit organizations have used social media or emerging technology to fulfill their missions and potential ways that mental health organizations could do similar work. We'll also address concerns about using social media appropriately and respectfully.
Presenters: Ritu Sharma, Co-Founder and Executive Director, Social Media for Nonprofits; Mike Thornsbury, Marketer and Mental Health Volunteer; Jessica Kennedy, Webmaster, Mental Health America

An overview of best practices, such as Military-Veteran Mental Health First Aid training and peer outreach, will be provided. Participants will gain an understanding of effective methods and strategies that can be adapted to suit their local community needs.
Target Audience

What is National Wellness Week?
As part of National Recovery Month, SAMHSA is launching the fourth annual National Wellness Week from September 15-21, 2014 to promote the many ways that social inclusion, trauma-informed care, and the Eight Dimensions of Wellness can improve quality of life and increase life expectancy for people diagnosed with mental health issues.
During National Wellness Week, we aim to inspire individuals to improve one's physical health behavior, while exploring their talents, skills, interests, social connections, and environment to incorporate other dimensions of wellness. We will mobilize peer-run, faith-based and other community organizations, as well as mental health, substance addiction and physical healthcare providers to host events or promote messages encouraging the Eight Dimensions of Wellness (Emotional, Financial, Social, Spiritual, Occupational, Physical, Intellectual, and Environmental).

On a side note have you noticed that all coalition troops are soldiers, but all Iraqi troops are terrorists?
I've always been amazed that the very people forced to live in the worst parts of town, go to the worst schools, and who have it the hardest are always the first to step up, to defend us. They serve so that we don't have to. They offer to give up their lives so that we can be free. It is remarkably their gift to us. And all they ask for in return is that we never send them into harm's way unless it is absolutely necessary. Will they ever trust us again?posted by kirkaracha at 12:10 PM on October 8, 2004
"More than two years ago, I wrote a book with former U.N Weapons Inspector Scott Ritter. The book was short, and to the point: Evidence of weapons of mass destruction in Iraq was being wildly exaggerated by George W. Bush and members of his administration. No threat was evidenced. The matter could be handled by weapons inspectors, who had already eviscerated Saddam's stockpile.posted by The God Complex at 5:00 PM on October 8, 2004
This was truth, September 11 or no September 11.
Now: 1,064 American soldiers are dead in Iraq. More than 17,000 American soldiers have been 'medically evacuated' from Iraq, suffering everything from menstruation to missing limbs and faces, if you know how to read between the carefully parsed DoD lines.
More than 20,000 Iraqi civilians - people like you and me, people like you and me, people like you and me, people like you and me, people like you and me - have been killed. Tens of thousands more have been maimed, orphaned, or otherwise struck to the heart.
How many of these will become 'terrorists'?
One of these days, telling the truth will be worth something."
- Walter Pincus, editor, Washington Post.

1980′s Movie Heroines – Girls Just Wanna Have Fun
Alright everyone, let's talk about dance movies. Don't try to front on this because I know there is not one person in the world who is truly able to resist the simple charms of Dirty Dancing, Footloose, Flashdance or Step Up 2: The Streets. I LOVE 'EM ALL! But when I was a baby hood rat in the 80′s, a certain silver screen treasure was in constant rotation in my VCR: Girls Just Want to Have Fun!
Ms. Carrie Bradshaw herself, Sarah Jessica Parker, had the starring role of Janey, a dance-loving military brat who rebels against her strict father by pirouetting her way towards a coveted spot on "Dance TV." I was really feeling Janey on this because it was my dream to simultaneously be on Soul Train AND Club MTV (with Miss Downtown Julie Brown) HELLO!
Every good girl needs a couple of rebellious gal pals to help guide her out of her shell and become a lil' FUNKY! Helen Hunt and baby Brenda Walsh come along and partake in all the teenage hijinks!
Janey needs a dance partner so she pairs up with blue collar hunka, Jeff, and they naturally fall for each other while perfecting their fan kicks. I don't care if he was the Poor Man's Joey Lawrence, I thought he was fuuuwiiine! WHOA! (you know I have a Joey Lawrence doll..right?… TMI?)
Let's french through the fence, bebe
I love me a hunk in a midriff top! It's true.
SJP was a million Manolos away from being a fashion icon at this point with Janey's frumpy-ass school uniforms. Luckily, we had a style savior in the form of her badass best friend Lynne, played by Helen Hunt.
White nails and a Superteen magazine, yes please!
Lynne's main style signature is her collection of creative headwear and hair accessories. From channeling Don King to Davy Crockett to sporting dinosaur barrettes to rocketship clips, Lynne rocks her shit without fear and das why mama likes her.
Instead of doing a Polyvore set for this post, I decided to invoke the spirit of Lynne and make something myself!
Now the crème de la crème has to be Lynne's grasshopper hat.
I had to recreate it…but I couldn't find a grasshopper. Instead, I found a gigantic black widow. AHHHHH! Now, a black widow would be too Halloween-y and way too gawth for me right now. So what did I do? Paint that shit GOLD!
I also made an octopus one for Miss Tiffany!
I'm making a lot of hair accessories right now. Lots of ideas in this noggin' so stay tuned for some surprises! Oh you Girls Just Want to Have Fun..still inspiring me..all the way into adulthood!
My favorite song from the movie is Q-Feel's "Dancin' in Heaven." A few years ago my good friend Brant found it on vinyl and would play it for me when he would dj! Ahh GOOD TIMES Q FEEL. "Quick, slow, quick quick slow!" I better see a million downloads for this song! *lowers eyes*
Q-Feel – Dancin' in Heaven
Holland- Wake Up the Neighborhood (second favorite song from the best scene ever)
OH HALE NO: From wiki: A script is in the works for the Disney Channel. Several Disney Channel stars have expressed interest in taking a part, including Selena Gomez and Ashley Tisdale. Um. ASHLEY TISDALE AGAIN!? First she was going to be in the Teen Witch remake, now THIS ONE? Is this bitch trying to ruin my fucking childhood movies?! I am starting to take this personally. This shit is so wack!
Let me simma down now…stay tuned for the conclusion to my 1980′s Movie Heroines special next week!
lollll i CAN'T TAKE THIS choking on lols over here

Ladyboner Activated
Recently I had to notify my fellow Twilight nerd girlfriends to let them know Rob Pat ~EDWARD~ is no longer my number one, and Jackson Rathboner ~JASPER~ is now my new favorite fanged flame. This comes to no surprise because I like to keep my fictional crush options open. Like when I moved from Jordan to Joey, Vinnie to Doogie (WHAT) Cory to Shawn (actually that was the other way around) and finally, Seth to Ryan.
He so fine bo. He reminds me of the surfer boys I had crushes on in junior high. And also Julian Casablancas for some reason!? Anyway, he making my ladyboner atten-hut!
Also related, I came across these gold fangz grillz when I was Googlin' for my stu Grillz Cheese photoshop joke. Da hale? I love 'em.
And I finally ordered my Edward Munster shirt.
I loooove reading how the WTForks Girls indulge in Twilight mania. Now I can regret ever feeling embarrassed by this:
or this
And yes, I will have some ~JASPER~ masks and Gchat Twilight roleplay in time for the sequel.

Spring Is For Swapping
With Spring comes a certain other kind of fever aside from Spring HORN: the kind of urge that makes you want to clean out everything from your desk at work, YOUR DARK SOUL and your messy closet. Figuring out what to do with old clothes can be overwhelming, so yours truly is here to offer you tips on how to clean out your closet and throw a little swap party afterwards! Not THAT kind of swap party you kinky putana, unless you want to hit two birds with one stone, (WHAT?) but the kind that results in a new wardrobe all for FREE!
Clothing swap parties should be at least an annual event. It's not only another nice excuse to spend time with your ladies, but also funner and less stanky than thrifting! (Hopefully). My girls and I have been having impromptu swaps recently, and I have acquired some really cute dresses!
+ Separate your old clothes in three piles: One for the swap party, another for possibly selling on ebay (everyday we hustlin') and the last for donating to charity.
+ Have an open mind when sorting through your giveaway items. What didn't work for you might be perfect for one of your girls. Remember it's all about how you WERK IT.
+ If you haven't worn a certain item in over a year or so, you should probably get rid of it. There's a thin line between being sentimental and being a hoarder (I'm guilty of this sometimes too.)
+ At some point, you'll come to an item or five that will leave you conflicted. Usually this is an item that you don't wear as often, yet you have some sort of attachment to. As much of a sentimental person I am, I don't like holding onto an item that conjures up unpleasant memories. If every time you see a certain dress in your closet and it instantly reminds you of that jerk you dated last year, throw that shit out boo! It's important to rid of things that hold some bad jujus. On THAT note, don't tell your girlfriends at the swap party that so and so did YOU KNOW WHAT to you in said dress. (SORRY ABOUT THAT LADIES! Just kidding everyone! well not really.)
+ Know your friends' bodies. (WINK) On the serious tip, you don't want to bring a bunch of clothes that nobody will be able to fit into. Everyone should be able to swap with at least one person.
+ Don't invite too many people. You don't want to create a Black Friday atmosphere with people throwing 'bows to get that old Betsey Johnson skirt you're giving away. If two people want the same thing, encourage a compromise: "this skirt for that top!" Or just flip a coin. Arm wrestle? MUD WRESTLE? Nobody should get all bitchface over clothes! It's all in good fun!
+ As with any shindiggy, serve refreshments and food. Trying on clothes can be exhausting! We had potato tacos but I also made my girlfriends healthy chicken and veggie wraps to eat for lunch the next day to make up for the taco gluttony. GRAMMA MARIE PACKIN' YOUR LUNCH. Below is food porn if you are into that. I know you are, I am too so it's okay.
Lemon Basil Pesto Mayo (as lowfat as I could get it!, next time I might try mixing in greek yogurt instead)
Cilantro Chicken Delishisness with Onions and Bellpepper
Added in Avocado, Spring Mix and Goat Cheese (Nicki and my latest favorite cheese)
The finished dish in a whole wheat wrap! Of course you can omit the chicken and add more veggies if you have a vagatarian bff like I do.
Have fun!

Obsess With Me – TACO$
I love me some tacos. Soft shell, hard shell, from a truck, costs a buck. I'll try any taco anytime (no euphemisms today, my friends). My favorite is machaca aka shredded beef in a crunchy shell and El Coyote is my long-standing favorite for that. I also have a strong affinity for a good potato taco. My best friend makes the best potato tacos in the world, but I have yet to find a really good potato taco in LA. Any tips?*
BFF potato tacos with my homemade guacamole
Would you try a taco with an adventurous filling? I've tried ostrich but I won't eat any lengua though. That is too kinky VOM for me. I don't want to eat anything used for frenchin'. I judge mexican restaurants on their salsa and their tacos. It's serious business. During the tipsy after hours, I'll take a Jack in the Box taco (2 for 99 cents) a Del Taco taco (lovin' that pico de gallo bo) or even a Taco Bell Taco IF I HAVE TO. (Seen above). I'm at about 65 for the taco tally. Who wants to buy me my 69th taco this year? After that I ain't gonna tally no more.

And another video from the other night…my boos serenading me (my nickname Marlow) to the tune of DANZIG'S MOTHER

Obsess With Me – Gold Stacks
For the past couple of months I've become obsessed with gold bangles. And by obsessed I mean wearing FULL GOLD STACKS. My style icon Kimora and I have been scouring up and down and all around for the best bangle for your buck. Surprisingly, the mall has been my best bet. Charlotte Russe hooked up 18 bracelets for $7. Claire's and Baker's have yielded good bargains as well. I haven't worn this many bracelets on my arm since my P.L.U.R. days, my friend. I've personally stacked just under 100 simultaneously. Yes, I said 100. Girls with skinny arms, you can easily stack more. My #1 complaint about going this crazy is that the stacks smell like a dirty coin purse (NPI). I'm currently working on that antidote for us.
Be careful what you do when you're stacked btw. If you have a hot date that night, a jingle-jangle hj might be a little off-putting for your mang. ("This handjob sounds like grandmother's windchimes!" SICK)

Oh That's Right, I Went To Coachella
So I totally forgot to tell you about Coachella. Reason is probably because there wasn't too much to tell! I followed my own advice and went after sundown, on the first night, just in time to catch Morrissey complain about the smell of BBQ and see a little bit of LOL McCartney. Everyone I wanted to see (Beirut, Girl Talk, Crystal Castles) played in Moz's time slot. I didn't even make it to the other side! I basically hung around the main stage and the beer gardens. And I can't even do a simple Coachella outfit post because STU ME forgot my camera battery! So all I have is this phone pic of Thelma and Louise. SAW-RE!
Now the rest of the weekend was a lovely Palm Springs vacay. HEDONISM III.
cochina puta alert cochina puta alert
And of course, the trip gave birth to my new webcomic, Sanders & Sanders.
Nothing beats a nice lil getaway with the BOS!

Rated 4.6 out of 5 by 363 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Scotsboy Weekend in the Spa Booked a Saturday night stay for my wife and I and upgraded to a Club Room. Well worth the extra cost as it gave us unlimited access to the Spa and Club Lounge. The Lounge itself was very comfortable and well appointed and serves a continental breakfast with a fair variety of cold food and pastries and a single hot dish (eg Bacon). If you want, you can upgrade to have Breakfast in the main Restaurant for an extra couple of pounds. Gets busy at around 6pm when free drinks and some very interesting canopes are served. The SPA was fab. We arrived at the hotel at 10:30am and were in the Spa by 11 for a great 3 hour session, which we repeated the following day. Check-in and Lounge staff were extremely attentive. Will be back. February 15, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Dusty Probably my favourite hotel Each time I have stayed here I leave wishing all my Starwood experiences could be the same as this hotel. The obvious reason is the staff and the attention they give to their clients. The club room is wonderful with a great selection of food and beverages. July 8, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by RSM50 Great experience Nothing but great things to say. Great hotel, friendly, helpful staff, etc. rooms very spacious and state of art. Would stay no where else in Edinburgh. July 31, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Maul1445 First class hotel Excellent lounge, clean modern rooms and a fabulous intentive staff. July 30, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Loopylou Bliss 5 ****** Stayed here 1night as a birthday present and it was just amazing from start to finish. We had a castle view room which was a good size very comfotable beds lovely bath and walk in shower. Had dinner in the restaurant one square and it was by far the best meal we'd ever had I felt very spoilt and relaxed we have booked to go back in October can't wait xx July 28, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Golfwiththewife Enjoyed and surprised The rooms were bright and clean and fresh. The bed was very comfortable. The bathroom design was visually pleasing. We would stay here again. July 29, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by LocalBizGuest Staff Took at Four Star and Made it a Five Really solid hotel and just fantastic staff. Everyone was so kind and helpful. There were only examples of excellence. Bravo! July 29, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by topcat30 First Class Service at this Wonderful Hotel Myself and my husband stayed at Sheraton Grand Edinburgh for 2 nights as an anniversary treat. From the time we checked in, we knew this hotel was special. It is a haven away from the bustling streets of Edinburgh with amazing views of Edinburgh Castle. The rooms are so comfortable and spacious. The weather was very bad on the Saturday night we just ate at the hotel and sat looking at the Castle Views while enjoying a drink. Food is very good. The staff are excellent and nothing is too much trouble. Will definately return and doubt if any other hotel in Edinburgh would match this. June 20, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Gardeningtime Very comfortable and very well looked after The room was so comfortable and the bed quality was superb. We loved the Club facility but what really was wonderful was the friendliness and professionalism of all the staff. Thank you. July 27, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Jfred Great features The room was great with view July 28, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Rob2012 Surely the best hotel in Edinburgh Great hotel, with the most comfortable rooms and amazing staff. Fabulous to stay at a hotel where the staff seem to actually care that the guests have an enjoyable stay. January 31, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Allovertheplace Great location, great rooms, great staff This Sheraton is one of the best I've stayed at. The one-bedroom suite was very comfortable, and was smartly furnished. Staff were very helpful and responsive. The Club Lounge had very good food options. July 25, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Travelalot33 Great stay at Sheraton Grand Edinburgh Recommend a castle view room. Club Lounge had great service with management paying attention to the quality of food and service. Vanessa gave fantastic service and was great help with helpful local information, such as we should visit Calton Hill. Platinum benefits are good. Spa has a great pool and an interesting range of wet and dry saunas and steam baths. Indoor/outdoor jacuzzi was something of note. Location is good as you can walk to Edinburgh castle and the Royal Mile and can also catch a multitude of public buses almost directly in front of the hotel. Room we had with a castle view was quiet as the hotel is set back from the street. Also short walk to/from stop for airport express bus. July 10, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by acornbaby9 Fantastic hotel, fantastic staff We stayed in a Classic Suite which was not huge, but more than big enough for our needs and very tastefully decorated. It had all mod cons including ipod docking alarm, 2 flat screen tvs, beautiful bathroom and optional light settings (in the bathroom you can choose from red, blue, yellow, white etc. which was a little strange!). The molton brown toiletries were a treat. The bed was amazing - huge and so comfortable. I wish I had one like that at home. The club lounge was great - the staff really cannot do enough to help. There was a nice continental breakfast, a good selection of drinks and snacks and alcoholic drinks available in the evenings. I would definitely stay here again - thanks to everyone working there for looking after us so well! May 10, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Mcottle This one only goes up to 5 not 11 This was an incredible find. The staff were incredible. Everyone from the concierge to the bellman Wayne to the check-in staff (I think her name was Kate). The room was incredibly well appointed and modern. The gym was fantastic. Food was also very good. The location is also good at the other end of Prince/George St so everything is within walking distance. There's a convenient taxi rank outside the hotel and I imagine in the summers when there's an activity on the plaza, it's a great place to be. Overall a memorable stay due to the staff and the great facilities. I stay all over the world and I'd highly recommend the Sheraton Edinburgh. March 1, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Ali1404 Try one spa ! My husband and myself had a wonderful weekend break,excellent hotel,booking one spa is a definite so relaxing,staff are lovely,a return visit is planned.the location is perfect. July 22, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Antonio Nicely renovated property On arrival, we had an issue with room type & SPG recognition. In a nanosecond, Murray had it sorted! Kudos to one extraordinary leader and manager!! Our room on the 7th floor was on the small side but very well equipped. The 4-piece bathroom is a delight, and conveniently, the flush has its own entrance. The Spa (next door) is complimentary for SPG guests and features an incredible infinity pool, and Cleopatra baths along with a fitness section! The SPG lounge is well equipped with 2 computers, a printer. The staff have a tendency to hover, so if you leave to check e-mail, don't be surprised if your place is cleared for another guest! August 13, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Cinderella2012 Great comfort Conscientious staff and very comfortable room. Only drawback was noise from outside through the closed windows. Club Room was lovely and well staffed and equipped. Computers need updating. Excellent fitness facility. Wonderful bed and shower. July 21, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by lee3873 Simply the best! This hotel is simply the best Sheraton hotel in the world. Facilities are fantastic, rooms are perfect and the staff are the icing on the cake. Friendly, attentive and professional, this hotel is a leader in the Sheraton brand. July 21, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Mutheta Five Stars! A beautiful, newly refurbished hotel conveniently located a short distance from the famous Edinburgh Castle. Great views of the castle from the hotel's restaurant and many rooms. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and highly recommend this property. Thank you to the outstanding staff at the Sheraton Grand! July 19, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by ChrisK555 What a hotel! Now THAT is a great Sheraton Hotel! I can tell that i have seen quite some of them - but this one is AMAZING! New, spacious rooms, Ex-Cel-Lent! Personal, Top Service both in the Lounge and the Restaurant! The Gym is very big and well-equipped. We are really looking Forward to see the new SPA in some months when it is renovated! A big thank you to Mr. Brose, who was so caring - one of our most memorable stays in a Sheraton Hotel - worldwide! CKUMPA, July 14th 2014. July 14, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Tezza Short Break I'm sorry but I can not find anything bad to say about the place. Good location for shops, theatre and cinema. Everything was top notch. The staff were very helpful at all times. The room was spotless. The TV remote took some getting used to so did the new light switches. Will definitely go again and recommend it. It's not cheap but as they say in life "You get what you pay for" February 21, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by CJT76 Wow a gem in Scotland This was an experience that really changed my view of the Sheraton brand. I am a loyal SPG Gold Level traveler. Normally I will pass over the Sheraton brand and look to higher end SPG hotels. Our suite was amazing comfortable and well appointed. The club room that our children were in was very chic as well. The services level and friendly staff were just overtly over the top. We did not meet a single staffer that was not charming and ready to please. The staff really made the experience. The room service was above par. We spent Christmas in the UK and had intended to stay else where. We switched to the Sheraton at the last minute and it saved our Christmas abroad! December 29, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by JWAB643 BEAUTIFUL HOTEL My wife and I enjoyed a one night break at the Sheraton last Friday. The renovation work has been completed to a very high standard throughout. The Restaurant staff were very attentive despite a very noisy function which was encroaching into the Dining Room. The staff handled a difficult situation very well indeed. We very much enjoyed our stay. May 22, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Hypebabe1 Memorable Expereince We went up to the Sheraton Grand Edinburgh to get away for Christmas and what we experienced went beyond our expectations. The most memorable for us was how the staff were really helpful and friendly and went far and beyond to make sure that we had a lovely time. And of cos the Hydropool,the room and hotel location were just the icing on the cake. December 30, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Granpop2Seven Great Location !st visit to Edinburgh. Staff at Front Desk were GREAT. Bent over backwards to help us find our way around from patiently going over city maps with us to printing and reprinting train schedules and even cancelling reservations at other hotels for us. Hotel is within walking distance of just about everything in Edinburgh, Room was comfortable but not crazy about lighting and design of bathroom but would come back without hesitation. Be careful using mini bar for storing anything of your own. Every time you move something in the refrigerator it incurs an electronic charge! Staff graciously removed all charges for us. July 30, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by IainM Ideal short spa and food break Just spent 3 nights to celebrate our Silver Wedding. Spent a day in the One Spa and ended up eating in One Square two nights running - would have gone for 3-in-a-row but we had a reservation elsewhere for the final night. Both spa and restaurant exceeded our expectations - we'll definitely be back. February 23, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by DecadeWed Exceptional location and amenities We enjoyed the use of the pool at the ONE SPA. If we understood better, would have been prepared for joining the spa for more options. The hotels location was perfect for walking anywhere and the weather while we were there was unseasonably warm and sunny. Great trip, great hotel choice. February 18, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Lisa30313 Join the Club! The welcome, service and facilities at the Sheraton Grand Hotel & Spa, Edinburgh -Club Rooms - are unrivalled. This is my third and most definitely not my last stay in this hotel! It's like a relaxation and rejuventation exlir. August 29, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Gessica75 Couldn't be better This holiday was perfect, starting from the room with great view, to marvellous SPA. I would like to thank the reception staff, they all were helpful and kind. But all the staff was, indeed. In room dining was above expectations. December 27, 2012

UPDATE: Goldman Sachs Downgrades Western Union to Neutral on Negative 2013 Outlook
Goldman Sachs reduced its rating on Western Union (NYSE: WU) from Buy to Neutral and lowered its price target from $22 to $14.
Goldman Sachs said, "We are downgrading WU to Neutral from Buy given our revised and now negative 2013 outlook. Specifically, we now expect macro pressure and plans to implement price reductions in key corridors to fend off competition, as well as operating investments to result in a 2013 operating income decline of 10%-15% yoy vs. our previous growth forecast. Accordingly, we have reduced our 2013/2014 EPS forecast by over 20%."
Western Union closed at $12.73 on Wednesday.

Baltimore Ravens running back Ray Rice will be a game-time decision on Sunday against the Buffalo Bills, according to Aaron Wilson of the Baltimore Sun.
Rice suffered a strained left hip flexor in a Week 2 win over the Cleveland Browns, with the running back going to the ground untouched after he felt the pain in his hip. The veteran running back, who had appeared in 66 consecutive games and had made 43 consecutive starts, was forced to sit out last week's 30-9 win over the Houston Texans.
The sixth-year running back was listed as questionable after participating in practice this week on a limited basis, yet is confident after seeing improvement in the injury during the week.
"Barring setbacks, there's a chance I could be out there on Sunday," Rice said. "I just obviously have to warm up and see how it feels and let coaches make the decision for me."
The Ravens have the 25th-ranked rushing attack in the NFL this season, averaging 2.6 yards per carry as a team.
