Rated 4.2 out of 5 by 645 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Kim100j The courteous, friendly staff were exceptional! I have stayed at numerous hotels & resorts over the years and by far the Westin Copley staff were by far the greatest. They truly go out of there way to see you have everything you need to enjoy your stay. The exceptional, friendly and courteous staff make your trip all it can be! August 25, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Caren25 Perfect! Lovely hotel in a great location - lots to see and do in the Copley Plaza area. Very impressed! August 25, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by jgiudici Horrible Service - Not Pleased Upon check-in, we found the staff not interested in any questions we had for them. I had specifically called the Hotel and asked for connecting rooms, and was told my reservation was all set accordingly. We arrived in the room to find our rooms were NOT connecting, and that there was nothing they could do for this. Way to start a fun Bachelor weekend right off the bat. After getting over the first issue, we came back to our room Saturday night to find our rooms were NOT cleaned what so ever. All the front desk had to say for this was we must have signed up for "Green Initiative" which I never have heard of. In addition, a filthy dirty food service cart was left practically in front of our door all day into the next morning when we checked out. My fiancé has reservations there in another 3 weeks for her wedding party which I will most definitely cancel if I do not get a response from the hotel. The staff at checkout acted like they could care less about any of our concerns and were not willing to do anything for us, which is absurd. I am typically and easy to please guy but this is ridiculous when you are paying almost $300 per night per room. August 25, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by DeniseAmanda Great Stay Attended a business conference in August 2014. The Westin staff was very professional and spot on! I would recommend this venue! August 25, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Kathy829 Great 3 day stay Your staff was excellent from the time my husband and I pulled and dropped off our car right until we waited curb side for our car to be brought back to us. Excellent staff, service and room. August 24, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by kmurray24 Westin Copley Best place to stay in Boston for a family! Great staff, great rooms, and great views. Close to everything in Boston! August 25, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Ellenpags Great overnight This was our second stay at the Westin Hotel. It is a top notch hotel. The room was spacious, the bed was extremely comfortable and we had a great view. We highly recommend the Westin...absolutely love it! August 24, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by MarkJ06473 Great overall vacation Great facility with very good staff in a perfect location for Bosotn August 24, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by mintgirl Good with one exception We've stayed at this hotel many times and have always found it to be accommodating even though busy. This time, however, the housekeeping was extremely disappointing. I did not opt for the "green choice" because we had a suite with several people. i had to call both days for service. Once completed it was underwhelming. Both days I left a large tip and specific instructions to no avail. I was very straightforward with the number of people I had, our needs which were not exotic and primarily included extra towels and blankets. They even managed to mess up the roll away bed, again, after 3 specific phone calls. They did not leave water, looked like they threw in another roll of toilet paper randomly, and never washed the table or desk even after I specifically called it out. I was very disappointed as this is not the quality of service I've had at this Westin nor many others i've stayed at over the years. August 22, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by CC63 This was a very nice hotel. I enjoyed everything about the hotel except your elevators are very slow. We had to wait several minutes on more than one occasion to catch one. August 23, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by wigstheome Solid Westin Stay Checked in on a Tuesday afternoon, after a short walk from Boston Back Bay Station. Check-in was quick, and while no upgrade was available as a Platinum, the front desk took the time to move me to a higher junior suite (on the 19th floor). My suite was spacious and comfortable, although with a few negatives, notably (i) a lot of hallway noise carried through the door, (ii) the bathroom was inadequately lit, and (iii) the HVAC really couldn't keep the room cool during the morning when sunlight flooded in. I would also note that the inside of the legs of the desk were splintered (badly) from contact with the desk chair. Breakfast both mornings was well prepared and delivered on a timely basis, with warm service. I received a late check out, and my bill was accurate. August 4, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by NeverW Wonderful!!!! This hotel is not only at the PERFECT location in Boston - but it has close to the PERFECT staff. They are wonderful from the front door, to the check in team to the management staff to the maintenance crew. All walking around with smiles and happy to be there Have ti give a special shout out to SHANA DINUSH. She is a professional from the word go...welcomed us and continued to stay in touch to be sure that everything was up to the standards of SPG! And boy was it - she went above and beyond to make us feel special! THANK YOU!!! August 18, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by abeee Great staff Shana at the front desk was extremely pleasant, competent and helpful. The location is the best in Boston. Great views. August 22, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by JMA11 Be warned We recently got married in Boston and not only did we book 7 rooms for us and our immediate family members, but we used the Westin as a main hotel for our guest block that week. The service we received was at best average and at worst deplorable. I am SPG platinum and expect far better service than what we received. The "suite" I purchased for my fiancee to use for her wedding preparations was barely larger than a standard room and our immediate family members were treated with disdain when they tried to connect additional nights to their free nights reserved on points. Hardly the seamless service that SPG promises for platinum guests. Given how much money we gave to the Westin that week, we expected better. August 15, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by Aseadog Poor response from staff In general, the hotel met my expectations. However, the housekeeping staff made me feel like I was begging for the simplest things. After daily requests, I gave up! We've always enjoyed the ice water when we return from our walks. On one occasion it was available and never to be seen again. August 21, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by leftydiver Disappointed I have stayed at this hotel many times over the years. The worst experience due to the following: Lack of a shower curtin in room Room not made up Poor service at breakfast- actually got up and left Slow service re car from valet August 21, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Honeymooners082014 Great Place to stay in Boston The Copley Square location is great! The staff at both the Westin Waterfront and Copley Square treated us like royalty. I had accidentally booked the wrong location. We wanted to be close to Fenway as we had baseball tickets. Sarah at the Waterfront property called Copley Square for availability and we were able to get a beautiful room on the 34th floor! The staff at both locations were awesome. Hi five to Jason at the bar! August 18, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by neubaca Just ok. I recommend the hotel only for the convenient location to workplace. Overall it was disappointing. Sunday evening check in took over 20 minutes. Only 2 staff on hand and they were working with 2 people who apparantly couldn't find their reservations. Why not have them step aside and check the 3 of us in line? Waste of time after a long flight. Then I get an email that my AMEX was charged $1500.00 by Westin. Thinking my card was compromised while in the lobby I tried to call the front desk. Was on hold for 10 minutes, hung up and dialed again and finally got someone who said it's a hold - why not tell me that while I'm checking in? The remote in the room couldn't control the volume but I was too tired by then to call anyone and wait for new one. One of the 2 down escalators at the far end of the hotel lobby was broken most of the times but there was no sign warning you. Sure the exercise to walk that extra 5 minutes back and forth is good but very uncomfortable when you are in heels getting ready to go to work - just put a sign up so people don't walk all the way over there and back. Food was not good - and definitely not as described in the menu - salmon was supposed to be served with wild rice and such but instead came with mashed potatoes and asparagus. Steak was a very bad cut for $40+ - too much fat and skin. I guess it serves me right to order room service after a long day at work when there's really good restaurants around the hotel. But I just wanted to kick off my shoes, relax and watch TV. Overall it does its job but if you're shelling out a bunch of money, even company money, it's annoying to deal with little things that matter. I'll stay here again for the points if I need to but oh well. August 21, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Mary2029 Great location Excellent! Within walking distance to Fenway and other historical sights August 19, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by richard1428 Great hotel apart from one horrible feature The lifts in this hotel are terrible There seem to be enough but the wait for one to arrive and particularly to allow one to go between the 3rd and 7th floor conference facilities are just terrible. Long frustrating waits only to find the lift full when it eventually arrives was a feature of our four days stay at the hotel. Simply well below a reasonable standard August 17, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Phully Nice stay Everything was excellent. Only negative was Guests partying in hall at 1am August 19, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by djpcjp parking Parking for Motorcycles was not as expected. Told by staff there was a special place for parking a motorcycle/Harley Davidson in parking garage. Person attending said there was no such thing ! Very disappointing. August 18, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by 365RoadWarrior Good hotel...Wait...Great hotel! I enjoyed my stay and thought "nice hotel". Once I moved to another hotel (different location, comparable price and presumed quality level), I was reminded just how "nice" the Westin was. My stay was flawless. My room was clean and everything worked, wif-fi included. I slept like seven dogs and had a great view. Hotel staff (Taylor at the front desk in particular) was skilled and helpful. The fitness center had ample equipment in good repair. The facility was thoroughly cleaned each night by a nice lady that "worked around" me. I opted to use my SPG platinum status for continental breakfast; the food was good (just melon and dry cereal for this vegetarian), and the service from Jules was very pleasant. July 23, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Sydammi Some improvement Better lighting in the bathroom. The room was very comfortable other than the lighting issue. The staff was excellent, helpful, available and warm. August 18, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Jdog August visit Great place, excellent customer service. The only issue I have is that there was a faint smell of tobacco smoke in the room. It seemed to permeate everything including the sheets. August 17, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by Cb444444 Worst elevator system ever I have stayed in hotels in 35 countries now and the elevators at Westin Copley were laughably inept. One day I waited 10 minutes for an elevator to arrive. Most days required a minimum of 3-5 minute wait and then elevators would stop at almost every floor to add passengers, making the trip even longer. Adding to this, the escalators from floor 1 to Lobby were broken during my stay, necessitating using the worlds slowest elevator to move between the lobby and first floor. During my stay I witnessed a bellman yelling at a customer and storming off yelling about "the f$&@ing front desk" in sight of a number of customers. August 6, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by Paul74 Hospitality Means Something Different in New England I made reservations as part of a group, but then needed to add on a day since the airlines cancelled a flight. I was told by reservations the only option was for me to pay over $1,000 for one night. Yes, you read that right. That is more than my mortgage. Give me a break. I called the hotel directly and they sent me to the voice mail of the person who does the corporate and group sales. I left a message on two occasions. I never received a call back. This was a convention for conference planners. I would think that would get a hotel's attention. Also, I found the bar staff to be quite rude. This was the bar inside the hotel, which might be separately owned. The bartenders for our events, were terrific. August 7, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by TracyS33 Good Experience I was in Boston for the very first time for a conference. I got into town early because I wanted to do some site seeing. When I checked in I stated this to the very friendly girl behind the desk. She was so helpful! I told her where I wanted to go and she handed me a map and recommended the way to get there so I could see other things along the way. My room was clean and so comfortable. If I could ship that bed home I would have. Best sleep ever! The only negative thing I can say is that the elevators took forever to get to the floor you were on. I was on the 30th and it seemed like it took 5 minutes to arrive. Overall it was a great experience July 30, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by WineAdvisoryGroup Great Location... Refurbishment Would Be Welcome Why is it that the lamp shades are always a little tilted in convention hotels? I always seem to have to adjust the shade in hotels like this. It's indicative of the lack of attention to detail that should exist even in these large hotels. The fixtures and furnishings need an overhaul, and hallway noise travels right through the door. Internet in room was great... lobby signal kept dropping. Service and attitude of the staff at checkin was excellent. Have always loved the location. An investment of funds to bump up the physical plant would be a welcome addition to take it out of the current ho-hum state. August 4, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by MDNJ Annoying Bellman Service When leaving the hotel, my wife needed to breastfeed our daughter before hitting the road for a long drive home. This meant we needed to leave the minute she was done. I asked to have a luggage cart brought up, and 15 minutes later, no one arrived. When I called down again, I was told they could not leave a cart, and that I needed to call when we were ready. A bellman then arrived, woke our napping child and refused to leave the cart. He then slammed the door. Needless to say, I was angry. I understand that the bellmen have jobs, but a once in a while exception should be made for the circumstances. August 4, 2014

When it comes to car shopping, Americans are tapping the brakes.
Forecasters expect U.S. sales of cars and light trucks to slow for June after months of improvement. It's another sign that people are beginning to doubt the economic recovery with unemployment still high.
"The two big issues with consumers right now are employment growth and income growth, and they're not seeing much of either," said George Pipas, Ford Motor Co.'s top sales analyst.
Three firms that track auto sales predict automakers will report a sales decline of anywhere from 9.5 to 12 percent when they turn in their June figures later this week. A double-digit decline would be the biggest monthly drop since January.
There is good news for shoppers: If sales keep falling, automakers will be more tempted to try to lure car buyers in with low-interest financing, rebates and sweet lease deals.
The U.S. economy has been sending mixed messages for months, but lately the signs are worse. Last week, the government lowered its estimate for first-quarter economic growth because people spent less than previously thought. On Tuesday, a widely watched index showed a jarring drop in consumer confidence, with June down nearly 10 points.
Unemployment has been stuck around 10 percent all year. While the pace of layoffs has slowed, the number of people seeking first-time unemployment benefits is about the same as in January. And sales of new and previously owned homes fell last month.
All this makes potential car buyers uneasy.
"People are just nervous about signing up for a three-year loan, so I think people who normally would've cycled out of a car a little sooner are deciding, 'Hey, I'll just drive this car for another year,'" said Tom Folliard, CEO of used-car dealership chain CarMax Inc.
Automakers sold 1.1 million vehicles in May, the best month so far this year. J.D. Power and Associates, Truecar and Edmunds are predicting that June sales will drop below 1 million.
At that number, sales would be well below a typical June over the past five years, which is 1.3 million, and far below the peak during that period of almost 1.7 million in 2005, according to Ward's AutoInfoBank.
If the weakness continues into summer, automakers will have to sell more to rental car companies and other fleet buyers. Otherwise, sales won't be too much better than last year's dismal 10.4 million, the lowest since 1982.
"With the recovery not progressing as expected, it's gut-check time for the automotive industry," said Jeff Schuster, executive director of global forecasting for J.D. Power.
J.D. Power expects a decline in sales to individuals. If that happens, automakers will be tempted to lower prices with big sales promotions — good for drivers but bad for the industry's bottom line.
One big change from a year ago could help automakers: They generally have kept inventories low after going through the trauma of restructuring in bankruptcy court. Recently, though, they have raised factory production.
Still, Bob McInerney, vice president of a Toyota dealership north of Detroit, has noticed a drop in the number of customers out looking for cars. He blames economic fears. The first two weeks of June were quite slow, although sales have picked up lately as he's pushed deals.
"It seems like people are conditioned to buy the last two weeks of the month," he said.

- leadership;
- management;
- process safety
Process safety management (PSM) is often presented as technically complex, requiring a large staff of engineers and specialists with an array of tools and techniques that appear to grow in intricacy and sophistication year by year. Large companies are generally well positioned to operate in this arena—they have the resources to afford a staff of professionals and invest in system development, research specific problem areas, and construct elaborate PSM programs. Smaller enterprises can have similar risks, yet seldom have the internal resources and expertise to match the PSM efforts of the majors. The role of management can be over-simplified to employing the right expertise to take care of process safety.
It is proposed that PSM is not, in fact, a technical issue but one of management and leadership. Keeping a plant safe is managerially complex, demanding strong leadership and attention from senior site management. Technically, it is fairly simple and well within the capacity of any organization that deals with hazardous materials. This article examines the key elements of PSM from both the technical and managerial perspectives. The importance of leadership is discussed and its impact on safety examined. A 12-step guide to safely managing process hazards is outlined, which acknowledges the need for and role of process safety expertise while placing emphasis on the role of senior management: provide the leadership, oversight, and organizational culture for success. © 2013 American Institute of Chemical Engineers Process Saf Prog, 2013.

The Pousada Sítio dos Tucanos is the first ecological inn in Santa Catarina. It is located in the most magnificent and well-preserved region in south Brazil.
We are on the south side of the Island Santa Catarina, 30 km from downtown Florianópolis. This part of the island is well known because it is offers an ecological tourism experience with it's beautiful scenery and activities; such as Lagoinha de Leste (municipal natural park), trekking through vast rain forests, birdwatching, whalewatching (July - October).

Springfield -- Illinois gun-rights backers still believe they have the upper hand after legislation allowing the possession of concealed guns failed.
But they're not going to walk away from negotiations despite a federal court's June 9 deadline for gun-shy Illinois to abandon its position as the last state in the nation to allow concealed carry.
Rep. Brandon Phelps is a southern Illinois Democrat who sponsored the concealed carry bill. It failed Thursday 64-45. It needed 71 votes.
Phelps had warned his colleagues that blowing the deadline set by the 7th Circuit U.S. Appeals Court would usher in a system without rules.
Phelps said Friday it's better for everyone if lawmakers set up rules. He might recall his bill later this month.
The bill is HB997.

Normally I don't fill this kind of stuff out but I'm at a loss of venues in which to spend my time right now and this happens to be handy. I am 20 years old, go to community college but don't really know what I'm going to do with my life yet.

Normally I don't fill this kind of stuff out but I'm at a loss of venues in which to spend my time right now and this happens to be handy. I am 20 years old, go to community college but don't really know what I'm going to do with my life yet. The reason I attend is to keep my parents (who are funding the venture) satisfied, and me satisfied partly that I'm actually doing something. College is the automatic step after high-school that society places on 18 year olds. If you don't attend college, then people run from you yelling 'UNCLEAN' and throw stones at you.'. I saw Phantom of the Opera on Valentine's Day. It was fantastic. The live theatre is much preferred to me than Television which sucks our creativity, time, culture, and our aberrance to indolentcey. I have very eclectic tastes concerning art and media. I like the book Under the Tuscan Sun, and I also love Fight Club by Chuck Palahniuk. I enjoy 7 years in Tibet, and American Splendor. I shop at Goodwill and Saks 5th Avenue. I drive a 1979 Truck but always dress like I'm going to a L.A. Actors after-awards party. I enjoy the finest Italian foods, chicken parmesan (I know it's clich�, but objects become clich� for a reason now don't they?) and sometimes stop at McDonald's for a Spicy McChicken sandwich off the dollar menu. My time is one of the most precious things to me and I do not prefer to spend it for 9 dollars an hour when I am receiving a million artistic and literature dollars per hour with reading and watching films of my choosing. A few of my favorite things? My girlfriend who has taught me to be more out-going, my chihuahua (I personally hated chihuahuas before I got one; I thought them loud, obnoxious little pieces of crap that just sit around and shake), carpentry- I love building European and oriental furniture and most of my savings are spent in woodshops on lumber and tools, books- reading is a like a sickness for me, I'm like a chocaholic-but for booze (I'm not a heavy drinker, but I do prefer a good glass or red wine about once a day), the thought that I will someday travel the world and become the nomad I've always dreamed of becoming, Austin, TX- although it's filled with hippie liberals, the culture and town are beautiful and magnificent. - Michael Dell lives here and I attempted to write him one time to let me be in his advertisement department- sadly he never replied. I write letters from time to time to powerful people, usually in the business world trying to convince them why I'm the man for job of whatever I'm writing about. Since I am a struggling lover of culture, I do not have too much currency to fund my 10 mile to the gallon truck. I wrote the CEO's of Chevron, Exxon, and Shell Gasoline to try to get a gas card that was charged to their company. I can hear your shock now when I tell you that they did not reply. I wrote the CEO of Chrysler to try to receive the new Dodge Ram with a Viper engine in it...Nothing. Oh well, colonel Sanders didn't succeed at KFC until his 1066th try. I would like to be a writer and make my fortune off of that but I don't have the publicity or direction for that as of yet so I am looking into real estate and flipping properties to generate some positive cash flow. If you have any real estate you want to give me, e-mail me at email@example.com. I read RichDad PoorDad by Robert Kiyosaki and that started the ball rolling on my financial freedom ventures. The reason I want to write though is that writing can be done anywhere. I could move to Italy or New Zealand and still maintain my vocation. Texas is the greatest state in the Union, it's bigger than France and England combined. We have many vineyards here that you can visit and take tours of, they're very rustic feeling. When you're at a vineyard, it feels like your in a different area, it takes you out of the region- mentally. I would like to own a vineyard. I own a bicycle. A vineyard would be more to my preference. I enjoy Cigars. I bet you didn't know that.

I need help. After my last brew, I had a glass of the best tasting best glass of suds you ever seen. Only thing is, I got the runs for a week, do you think too much fiber????
prolly the yeast.
did you pour the whole thing into the glass?
Don't know, but I highly doubt fiber. Could be a bacterial infection?
Getting a stomach full of the yeast on the bottom of the bottle will do that, but not for a week. Yeast is a great laxative.
I would go with the yeast also. If you emptied the entire bottle including the sediment this may cause it with a weak stomach.
So basically, if I go on a cheez whiz/beer cheese soup or Atkins diet binge, then include the yeast from the beer, and I am ready to squirt??
I don't think you get the runs from too much fiber, and no fiber gets to the finished product anyway. At a guess I'd say yeast or even more likely, coincidence.
This is a gross thread
My uncle get stomach problems from yeast, he is alergic to it and homebrew has more yeast than normal beer. Homebrew is not strained with a pressure system.......
but it was prob a conincidence! if you had a problem with eating yeast you would know by now.

With David Byrne, who also did the music. "Quirky, hilarious and moving, Sorrentino's first English-lingo production is a road trip of stunning scope yet deep intimacy…Sean Penn [is] at his transformative best." –Variety.

I'm having a bit of a rant tonight, which isn't like me, but I'm absolutely sick and tired of politicians interfering with the rights of individuals to make a choice, yet we have to put up with their decisions based on information supplied by so called advisors or the Office of National Statistics. So whose running the country. Politicians or advisors? Here's a good example of the madness that is taking control.
Fact : If I put a lump of raised tarmac in the road, I would be charged with intent to cause bodily harm to a road user . If the council do it, it's done to improve road safety.
Fact : Police advice suggest we wear hi-viz jackets to be more conspicuous to car drivers. A few years back, lights were designed to be constantly on by manufacturers under various Govt safety guidelines to improve safety and so we would be more visibile to car drivers,so that clearly didn't work.
Fact : Stick a camera up to catch speeding road users and the number of accidents will decrease. Yep, and if you keep changing the speed limits, you can catch even more speeding road users. Oops, I mean reduce accidents even more.
Fact : I'll pay my road fund licence each year to help maintain the roads, or at least, that's what I thought. Clearly my money is going somewhere else. Isn't that an issue for the trade descriptions people? Can't the Govt be charged under the sale of Goods Act. You pay for something and you are entitled to something in return.
Fact : I'll get a job and pay taxes, get a mortgage and I'll even take out a pension plan. Then I find out that all my investments are worth f**k all and the taxes I have paid have been used by expense fiddling politicians to feather their own nests and to their own personal profit.
What goes around.....There's an election coming up soon and I reckon it'll be the lowest turnout of voters in history. I really hope there's a hung Parliament because I'll be there with the rope to hang these f****g useless, cheating bastards.
Rant over....

Tell loved-ones not to vote Labour because they have astonishingly poor judgement.
I truly hope that this statement is not representative of the way MP's do their job.
For once I am glad there is a civil service to act as buffer between these clowns and reality.

Skype User Reviews
Very good
out of 1,914 user reviews
"So far, not so great"
Version: Skype 188.8.131.52
Nothing better than the old version so far as I am concerned. I'm not a mobile phone user, so any improvements in that regard are going to miss me.
I use Skype in Windows 8, usually on the XP replica desktop. I teach students through the internet so I need to use Word, Firefox and Skype at the same time. Previously I could show all three windows simultaneously on my monitor and see my own camera output in a small inset window in a corner. I had no trouble switching from the XP to Metro tiles desktops. But no longer.......I must choose. I can get the Skype audio, Word and Firefox but no Skype video and no camera output monitor on the XP desktop, or I can get Skype audio and video and nothing else on the Windows 8 desktop. I have also yet to figure out how to pin a Skype shortcut to the XP desktop, or even how to launch Skype from that desktop.
At this point, I am not a happy camper.
"performs all functions i need."
Version: Skype 220.127.116.11
Simple, efficient, no problems
No cons, quite happy with it.
"Yup, won't install here either."
Version: Skype 184.108.40.206
None, Skype has gotten so useless lately.
Setup program wouldn't install Skype.
Skype v6.16.10? started freezing, stealing memory and crashing my computer so I had to uninstall it. Now I try to download the latest version and the setup program here doesn't work. It just gets to the point of saying "installing" but the progress bar never advances.
"Yet another Skype update that won't install"
Version: Skype 220.127.116.11
None - I can't use it.
Yet again this update will not install - it's disappointing that this keeps happening with Skype but with no other programs that I download. There are various suggestions online to rectify this, but it shouldn't be necessary and I can't be bothered.
I don't use it much, so I'll stick with the previous version, and hope the next update installs correctly.
"New Skype Windows Desktop... EXTREMELY SLOW ..."
Version: Skype 188.8.131.52
It's been the "default" VOIP for Windows for ever and does perform well. Easy to use and import Facebook, Yahoo, Outlook (Hotmail) contacts. It's a free service...
New version Windows esktop is very slow to load and close....
Updated Skype to Windows Desktop version 188.8.131.52 and what a slow-poke
this is.... it takes for ever to load and close. What have they done to
Skype??? The previous version 6.14.104 was doing just fine, fast
loading and closing and not even a hiccup what so ever. They really
messed up this time. They should have left it alone. This new so called
Desktop Version is probably written to enhance it's operation with
Windows 8 even though it's for windows 7 also. They forgot the Wins 7
crowd which are more than Wins 8 and just refined Skype for Wins 8. If I could get back the old Version
6.14.104 I would get rid of this Desktop Version. Don't like it at all. It's just to SLOW...
"Still very buggy!"
Version: Skype 184.108.40.206
Free, okay quality.
So full of Microsoft bloatware that it crashes frequently. Quality is still down from before Microsoft bought it.
At the moment I can't even get it to let me type more than three words before it freezes up. Then it just takes an entire core and runs it 100% doing nothing.
Version: Skype 18.104.22.168
"Laughable rubbish"
Version: Skype 220.127.116.11
Has screen sharing, but even that is now being phased out
Skype is an unbeliavably unstable and amateurish piece of software, given how widespread it is and how much is being invested in it. On both Windows and Android it performs execrably in terms of message delivery, offline pager-type messages and customised visibility (selective invisibility).
Comically bad software. Very glad Gmail now has reliable video in addition to voice chat so I can ditch Skype for good. It definitely isn't going to improve nearly enough as it should to make me reconsider using it.
"woks fine, no problems"
Version: Skype 22.214.171.124
good picture and sound
none found
"Easy to use"
Version: Skype 184.108.40.206
Cheap and easy to use
Sometimes it does not close properly
Good to connect with people all over the world

South Korea's Samsung Electronics Company reported first quarter 2011 revenues of 36.99 trillion Korean won (approx US$24.5 billion), up 7% from the first quarter of 2010, but also reported a net income of 2.78 trillion won, 30% less than 1Q 2010.
Samsung's Digital Media & Appliances business, as well as its Telecom and Semiconductor businesses, drove 1Q revenue growth. Operating profit of 0.10 trillion won (approx. $93 million) for Digital Media & Appliances marked a turnaround from the previous quarter. Digital Media & Appliances 1Q revenues were 13.52 trillion won (approx. $12.6 billion).
Growth in emerging markets and brisk sales in Europe of premium refrigerators, washing machines, and air-conditioners drove up revenue 13% compared with 1Q 2010.
Samsung will continue focusing on the launch of new premium and eco-friendly products in its appliance business, as well as enhancing global production efficiency.
Overall shipments of flat panel TVs fell 31% to 8.8 million units from the previous quarter. Profit was driven by increased sales of LED TVs, which now make up 39% of TV sales.
Emerging markets sales of LED TVs grew 420% year-on-year. For the remainder of 2011, sales of flat panel TVs are expected to remain slow in advanced countries, with emerging markets forecast to take up 55% of total demand by year end.

Great Day
Tues 8/7/14
We went to Clovelly today, it's a little fishing village that you have to walk down the cobbled (with millions of pebbles) road to get to the sea. It dates back before the 1500's, unfortunately most of the records had been lost in a fire. There are a lot of people living there but there are a few rules, one ...
The Eden Project
... was very pretty in the summer sunlight, but the sand was very coarse and there were still no waves.
Much of country Devon has higildy pigildy roads, similar to what we experienced yesterday on the way to Asprington. Consequently it was unnerving but fun driving along the very narrow, hedged roadways.
Our next destination was St Austell and The Eden Project in Cornwall. The Eden Project nestles in a giant fifty ...
Okehampton Castle, Dartmoor
One of Art's must-do's was to see a castle. And though not nearly spectacular or tourist-y as many castles here in the UK, Okehampton was a fine example of the ruins. We listened to a narrative as we walked around. Although I'd like to say I was most interested in the history, I have to admit that what I was most attracted to was how they went to ...
The Eden Project and Mevegissey
... 2 days. It still takes 3 of us to find our way, however; Art with his map and sign-reading skills, me with my map and navigation, Kathie with her sense of direction. Many of the roads are between hedge rows, so there's not much to see. Driving through small towns can be confusing, we make many wrong turns. Wantage, we never want to see you again. We have come to appreciate the round abouts, but negotiating them can be tricky. I wonder if we'll have trouble adjusting when we get back ...
Avebury Stone Circles, Wells Cathedral, Hay Meadow
... a surprisingly whimsical clock - it certainly didn't fit the decor! And on to Hay Meadow Farm. Thank goodness we had GPS, because this place seems to be in the middle of nowhere! We weren't sure we were going the right direction on this gravelly, single lane, hedge rowed road, but we turned a corner, and boom! There it was - a 12th century thatch roofed farmhouse! It is actually in the Doomsday Book. It ...

Here's a quick Mock Draft after the Jairus Byrd signing hopefully reflecting a slight change in needs for the rest of the offseason.
In regards to the Byrd signing:
With the secondary situated to be one of the stronger units on the team and the Safety duo of Vaccaro and Byrd potentially constituting one of the best safety tandems in the league, it seems the Defense is primed to get better throughout the 2014 season. Ryan loves his 3-safety sets and having Vaccaro and Byrd as well as Rafael Bush in he backfield will augment the already greatly intimidating pass rush of Cameron Jordan, Junior Galette, and Akiem Hicks.
Note on the Defense:
Though the New Orleans defense, only two years removed from being the worst in league history, is transforming into something to truly be feared, there are still a few weak spots. First, the cornerback spot opposite Keenan Lewis has yet to be addressed and is currently held by Corey White. Though Corey White made some strides last season, he seems to be a better fit at the Nickel Corner Spot. Along with CB2, the linebacker unit in general needs added depth. Their seems to be four starters -- Junior Galette, David Hawthorne, Curtis Lofton, and Victor Butler (potentially). With Ramon Humber, Will Herring (UPDATE: signed by Dallas Cowboys), and Parys Haralson being free agents this offseason, the depth behind those individuals seems to be rather slim. With the Secondary and Linebacker units outlined, all that remains is the front line which seems to be both solid, young, and deep -- headlined by young pro-bowler Cameron Jordan along with ascending contributors John Jenkins and Akiem Hicks. Thus, it seems cornerback and linebacker remain the needs on defense.
Note on the Offense:
With such a big signing on defense, it's time to turn our attention to what the Saints are known for -- their potent Offensive attack. With the departure of Lance Moore (and Darren Sproles?) and the potential loss of both Center Brain De La Puente and Right Tackle Zach Strief, the obvious holes are at the Wide Receiver, Offensive Line, and Return Specialist positions. Additionally, though the Guard position is manned by pro-bowlers Ben Grubbs and Jahri Evans, has little depth to speak of outside of second-year undrafted Tim Lelito. Thus, it seems like the Saints need to bolster the Offensive Line for Drew Brees to continue making his second Championship push as well as add a (preferably) speedy, explosive receiver threat. As for the receiver need, this draft is particularly deep at wide receiver and can probably offer a true 1st-round grade wide out come the 27th pick. The Offensive line seems more uncertain however, but the tackle depth seems good in the first three rounds and a quality Center should be available in the mid-rounds. Lastly, the Running Back, Tight End, and Quarterback units seems to be the stronger points of the offensive -- the Saints having the best Tight End duo in the league with Graham and Watson, having a promising stable of backs in Thomas, Robinson, and Ingram, and having the future Hall of Fame Quarterback Drew Brees (with Ryan Griffin in the wings).
Final List of needs:
1. Cornerback
2. Offensive Tackle
3. Wide Receiver
4. Center/Guard
5. Linebacker
It seems that the Cornerback and Offensive Tackle spots are the only ones in need of a true starter, while the Wide Receiver, Center, Guard, and Linebacker spots would be best served with rotational/depth players.
Round 1: Brandin Cooks, Wide Receiver, Oregon State
Other Options:
Jason Verrett, Cornerback, TCU
Ryan Shazier, Outside Linebacker, Ohio State
Zach Martin, Offensive Tackle/Guard, Notre Dame
Round 2: Morgan Moses, Offensive Tackle, Virginia
Other Options:
Jack Mewhort, Offensive Tackle, Ohio State
Weston Richburg, Center, Colorado State
Jordan Mathews, Wide Receiver, Vanderbilt
Round 3: Stanley Jean-Baptiste, Cornerback, Nebraska
Round 4: Adrian Hubbard, Outside Linebacker, Alabama
Round 5a: James Hurst, Offensive Tackle, North Carolina
Round 5b: Bryan Stork, Center, Florida State
Round 6: De'Anthony Thomas, Offensive Weapon, Oregon

Sticks and stones and bottles and cans= Art
Fairchild Challenge high school students found that you can really produce meaningful works of art by combining found objects with natural materials that usually go unnoticed. Look on the ground – find a twig or some moss, throw in a couple of pop cans or bottle tops and some paper and let the inspiration overtake you. That's what happened for those who entered Challenge #7. This amazing little owl took 1st Place, and here's a list of all the winners:
1st Place: Doryan Ward, Highlands High School
2nd Place: Megan-Rose Brittner, Shaler Area High School
3rd Place : Bekah Kellner, Angela Klinger and Alex Grumski, North Allegheny Senior High School
Honorable Mention: Jerry Brown, Gateway Senior High School
Middle Schools Take Action for the Environment
From promoting recycling and energy conservation in every classroom to educating younger children and peers about plants and environmental issues, middle schoolers became productive activists over the course of the school year. The many projects devised and implemented by Fairchild Challenge participants were documented in the final middle school challenge, Environmental Action. Every project was valuable and inspiring, so congratulations to all! Here are the winners of Challenge #6:
1st Place: Shaffer Elementary 6th Grade
2nd Place: Shaler Area Middle School
3rd Place : Woodland Hills Academy

Thanks to all the student artists for loaning us their work for the public to admire!

Woman's body is found in Schuylkill
THE BODY of an Asian woman was pulled from the Schuylkill yesterday morning, according to police.Last Wednesday, another woman was rescued from the river near Girard Avenue and taken to the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania, police said. She was later released.
About 10 a.m., a construction crew notified police that a corpse was floating in the river near South Street, said Officer Tanya Little, a police spokeswoman.
The woman's identity and age were not available last night, nor was it clear how she died, Little said.
She said police were looking into the possibility that the body was that of Yuhua Lu, 64, whose family reported her missing earlier this month from her home on Paoli Avenue near Matthias Street in Roxborough.

Catalan Dragons star Scott Dureau has received the all-clear after an eye problem
Last Updated: 19/02/13 5:01pm
Scott Dureau: ready to return to action with Catalan Dragons
Catalan Dragons star Scott Dureau has received the all-clear to play again having had a tumour removed from behind his eye.
The 26-year-old former Newcastle Knights half-back, who is the fulcrum for much of the French rugby league club's attacking game, underwent the surgery in Australia and has made a full recovery.
"Scott will be back with us and it's a good news for him and the team," said Dragons coach Laurent Frayssinous. "He will come back to training very quickly.
"The aim of the process is for Scott to play again but the exact date of his return to the competition is yet to be determined."
Dureau has been named in the Super League Dream Team in each of his first two seasons with the Dragons.
