Jeff Gordon's Pepsi Max prank a fake? Watch and decide for yourself
A web video promoting Pepsi Max has gone viral. It features a supposed prank, played by NASCAR driver Jeff Gordon, on an unsuspecting car salesman. In the video, Gordon wears a disguise, playing the part of an overly nervous man who is interested in a used Camaro. When the salesman tells him they should take a test drive, Gordon, Pepsi Max in hand, eventually agrees.
Before long, Gordon is speeding down streets, and doing doughnuts in the car. The salesman is terrified, and pretty angry, letting a few curse words fly, as he yells at Mike (Gordon's alter ego) to stop the vehicle. Finally he does, and the salesman threatens to have him arrested. Rather than have the cops called, Gordon reveals the cameras, and his true identity.
Is any of it real, though? According to ABC News, a Pepsi spokesperson has admitted that some of the wild driving in the video is performed by a stuntman. What they haven't touched on, though, is whether the salesman is an actor, or the genuine article. It doesn't seems like Pepsi would take a car dealer with no knowledge of the prank on such a ride, as some of the maneuvers look pretty dangerous.
As the video ends, the salesman, who is now all smiles, asks if they could do it again. The clip already has over seven million views on YouTube, so the Pepsi marketing department definitely achieved their goal. What remains to be seen, though, is if the video will actually help the company move their product.
Take a look at the commercial below, and you decide. Is the prank a fake, or did this car salesman get the ride of his life?

Your Week 15 Hate Guide
*The Hate Guide contains content that may not be suitable for adults, keep out of reach of children. The Hate Guide is does not represent the thoughts or opinions of BTSC or its authors. This article is satirical in nature and is not meant to be taken literally, so please stay chill. Or else...
This season for the Steelers has gone up and down more than a 14 year old's penis at a pool party. This week was one of the flaccid, nearly concave weeks. As if we were dipped into an icy cold hot tub full of heavy set middle aged women with facial hair. All I can say is I hated last week's game and it stank like a lazy taxidermist! We had about as much electricity as a tribal African village. We looked flatter than Paris Hilton.
Sometimes you get into a bit of rut with the ladies. Dry spells happen to the best of us. They have a nasty tendency to perpetuate themselves due to the unfortunate side effect of damaging your self confidence and mojo. The longer it lasts, the worse it gets. When that happens, the best thing you can do is stop worrying and find the sluttiest piece of meat you can find and get back on your horse. This also applies to football. We've been stuck in an offensive rut, and even the defense had a bad day. Our dongs hang low and soft. We feel frustrated, stuck in a vicious cycle of suck. The spirits here have been lower than the balls of a 90 year old man who regularly does jumping jacks.
So who's the easy broad that'll get us pointing in the right direction, true north? Why none other than the Phallus Blowboys. This here is a team I HATE! And yet this is the first hate guide dedicated to their stankyness. So finally you guys get some new material.
Before I delve into the vat of shit that is this football team, I'll share a personal Cowgirls anecdote. You see, the Cowboys were the first team I ever hated. They're tied right in with my first ever Steelers memory. First team hated is up there with first time laid and first time drunk in terms of awesome memories. I was but a wee angry hateful lad of 6 years. I had already tried to kill my sister once, and had urinated on a kindergarten floor cause I was mad the teacher was taking too long in the bathroom (our whole class had one in the room (and these are true stories)). The hate was indeed strong in me from an early time.
At such a tender and formative year, I had not been interested in football in the least. But this day it stayed in my mind. Many men had been shouting and screaming the whole time, and I arose from downstairs to investigate after hours of such shenaniganry. I recall quite clearly watching a television set from a distance. Peeking through the gaps between the wooden banister supports. A crushed and trembling united scream howled through the confines of the home, such that it rattled my bones. I instantly knew whatever had happened was significant. I approached the TV set, and the bastion of black and gold clad men surrounding it. A man in silver and blue was on the TV, and the TV sounded pretty happy and excited. Around me it was anything but. . I recognized whoever that guy was he had brought sadness and bad juju to us. I knew that the other guys were the good ones, since one look around the room would indicate thusly. The precise moment I made this connection I grew mad at that blur on the TV. I hated him for making everyone else feel bad. I would later realize that this memory was me watching Super Bowl XXX (aka the porno bowl HOLLah, up TOP!!).
The first Steeler game I have any recollection of is a loss. A super bowl loss. That's the worst kind of loss. That's like having to pay alimony AND child support. I want to make one thing perfectly loud and clear: You beat the Steelers in a Super Bowl, and I will hate you for eternity. I will not rest until your soul is devoured by demons and tossed around for satanic gangbang. While only two teams ride this list, they're both hated and stanky for their crimes against humanity and Steeler Nation, the most glorious nation of all.
But of course, there are tons of other reasons to hate the Dallassholes. The most offensive and egregious would be their moniker. That would be "America's Team". Well, a picture is worth a thousand words.
Oh, and Texas wasn't even part of America. It was part of Mexico. Pennsylvania was one of the original 13 colonies. Worse yet, Dallas is one of the leading cities for the Russian mail order bride, with over 70,000 communists in the area. Way to just let the enemy walk on in. They say everything's bigger in Texas, apparently that includes the amount of idiocy too. Calling yourselves America's team would be like Buffalo calling itself Canada's team (which it probably will be). So you former Mexico later rebels that sucked America's teat for protection can eat my black and gold shit. You spread your legs wide open for anyone in the 90s and because people are retarded they just decided to follow you because you were once upon a time a semi respectable team. How bandwagon are these fans? Well, half of Dallas residents weren't even born in Dallas.
Who is the pimp for this whorish southern floozy? None other than an ancient wrinkly scrotum-faced Texan with more plastic in his face than Joan Rivers and who pisses light sweet crude and devours souls: Jerry Jones. Fairy Jerry is, without a doubt, the most hated and stanky owner in all of sports. This is an overrated tit sucker cling on geezer born with a silver spoon up his ass. His first job was of course a high paying gig at daddy's company. Except when he got his own money he failed to do anything with it.
Because god is cruel, the dumbest men have the best luck. Jones struck liquid gold, and got rich. He bought the Cowboys and lucked into a couple good drafts, and Jones pulled off a couple good years in the 90s, but what has he done since? His grand achievement over the last decade? Tony friggin Romo. Romo is the NFC's Flacco. He'll put up amazing numbers one week, and throw 3 picks the next. Romo also has a knack for sucking when the game is on the line. This is a guy who fumbled a chip shot field goal in a playoff game folks. The Cowboys have won exactly ONE playoff game since their Super Bowl victory in 1996. The Steelers in the meantime have cleaned up with a few Super Bowls since their loss, adding to our superior total of 6, SIX, Lombardi Trophies.
Jerry's never learned that sticking his old saggy face where it doesn't belong won't bring you a super bowl. Firing coaches whenever his prune laden body has trouble passing a morning stool hasn't proved to succeed. Trash talking them and braggin about your drafting also doesn't help. He signs guys that bring more cancer to the locker room than a plutonium milkshake. Pacman Jones, TO, Dez Bryant, Irvin, Jones loves a selfish me-first WR. Mike Wallace might be a Cowgirl soon.
Pittsburgh hasn't had much trouble with Dallas in recent years. And we're not going to have trouble this week. The ship will be righted. Our rods will rise, our hate spears pointed at the enemy. We're going to gouge out Jerry's eyes with our raging hate boners. Harrison is going to vomit all over Tony Romo and infect him with a bad case of death. Polamalu will get like 4 picks with that long flowing hair that'll remind Romo of Jessica Simpson. Antonio Brown will be teaching Dez Bryant how to pass the GED and get into the real NFL. The plastic in Jerry Jones' face is going to melt from the intense heat reflected off Mike Tomlin's stunner shades.
This team is softer than a Frosty from Wendy's after sitting out in the sun for an hour. These self-aggrandizing flamboyant-dancing America-raping cow-fucking tater taints are gonna get trampled by a stampede of angry Steelers this Sunday afternoon. The Cowboys scarred me for life, let's return the favor. I hate em and they stank! May they be overrun with drug cartel enforcers and hung from the street lights as their bowels dangle below. I hope Mexico decides to retake them and conquers the entire state full of dumbass sounding hicks who all think they're some kind of hardass rancher when all they do is sit in a comfy chair drinking beer and getting fatter by the day. These morbidly obese frauds need to go. Lets turn that star upside down and send these bitches to hell.
The Hate Guide is going to just stick to the main event this week. We need to channel our focus and hate onward. We're perilously close to failing to make the playoffs, and this week matters more than ever. I still believe in the Steelers. We CAN gather ourselves and take over in January. Tomlin can unite this team, and we can join as one in our support as one body of hate. Even our fearless spirit guide Dan Rooney is returning from Ireland to take care of more pressing matters: Our football team. Yes, Steeler nation is more important than the Mr. Drunken Potato Heads. We will hunt, we will strike, and we will KILL!
I know my lack of live hate the last few weeks is clearly part of the problem, and will make every effort to bring the fire back to our Still mill. I'm coming back to the USA soon, and will be in Pittsburgh in January. Got a lot to prepare for, hence the brevity of the hate guide this week. Hopefully I've managed to satiate your thirsts for blood. Join me @hatingtheleague and let's make the Cowgirls ride in reverse as we dominate them for 60 hard minutes!

Last week, Loie Evans phoned to tell me there was a Virginia rail at Evergreen Lake. They have been seen and heard at the lake before, but they are not as regularly seen as the sora.
Rails are difficult to see for they live among the reeds and grasses in marshes and seldom come out in the open where you can have a good look at them. They are not particularly shy or afraid of people; they just like to stay in their marsh where they find the food they need.
It is wonderful to see spring greening the hills once more. I drove south to Colorado Springs and Pueblo with friends last week and was once more impressed by the changing landscape south of Colorado Springs.
March has been an interesting month with weather zig-zagging between record highs, record lows, exceptional spring-like weather along with exceptional drought with which came a serious forest fire near Conifer. All of this brought a great deal of uncertainty.
April has already greeted us with a rain and a snowstorm, and we can't help but wonder what else it will bring before the month is up. April has a reputation of being unable to make up its mind as to whether she will spring or put on her parka and dive back into winter.
The great spring weather has miraculously continued through another full week of late March. In fact, March has been so unusually mild, I am beginning to worry about what April and May will bring.
What a remarkable day this has been. It is only March, but the temperature soared to 72 degrees in Denver, and it feels like spring.
The sky is mostly blue, and the willows along Bear Creek area dressed in their brilliant spring orange-yellow. The buds of the narrow-leaf cottonwood are swelling. The sticky bud scales are giving color to the otherwise bare crown. As the buds swell, the crown appears to start to fill in or thicken even though there is not yet a true leaf in sight.
The weather has been surprisingly spring-like this past week. However, driving by the lake, I noticed very little change. It remains frozen shore to shore. The first sign of ice breakup is usually the appearance of a larger and larger amount of open water at the inlet.
Soon the ice will break up on Evergreen Lake, and migrating ducks will begin to appear. Usually blue-winged teal are the first to arrive. It is interesting to keep track of the large variety of ducks that can be seen on this little lake.
This past week has once again been one of vacillating weather with spring-like temperatures one day followed by a day of snow. Temperatures have ranged from normal to 20 degrees above normal.
Friday, Feb. 17, was an amazing day. A friend called to say she wanted to go out on the plains to search for the snowy owl that many have seen just east of Barr Lake and asked if I would like to go with her. She didn't want to go alone and was willing to put up with me, my oxygen, etc., so I went and had a great day.
Late winter brings strange weather into this area. This year, January brought much warmer weather than usual, giving everyone spring fever. February thus far has turned out to be colder than average and has brought back-to-back snowstorms with scarcely a break in between.
The only thing that you can be positive about is that it will change. Whatever it is like at the moment, it probably won't be the same 10 minutes from now or tomorrow. Usually our mornings dawn clear and bright because the skies often clear overnight, however, even that is not a certainty.

"How long shall they kill our prophets,
While we stand aside and look?
Yes, some say it's just a part of it:
We've got to fullfil the book."
-Bob Marley, Redemption Song
Am I being a little knee-jerky and overreacting by starting an article about Kentucky basketball with the lyric to a song that was written in the aftermath of Bob Marley having been diagnosed with cancer? Absolutely.
Taken in a much lighter context, and looked at from the point of view of this young Kentucky team, I think it's a fitting lyric.
"Minutes after they took I
From the bottomless pit.
But my hand was made strong
By the 'and of the Almighty.
We forward in this generation
Won't you help to sing
This songs of freedom
'Cause all I ever have:
Redemption songs"
There, those lyrics aren't quite as heavy.
Regardless of some hillbilly trying to look intelligent comparing a basketball team to one of a great musician's most symbolic songs, the fact remains that today, Kentucky is out for redemption. Thursday night's piss-poor effort at Notre Dame showcased the team's flaws. There was little offensive rhythm, the defense is still suspect, and, most surprisingly, the team didn't seem to try.
To paraphrase Calipari in the post-game, Poor offensive showing can be excused. Lack of effort and lack of defense can't. Today, UK takes the floor to put that behind them.
A lot of the negatives from Notre Dame can be chalked up to a young team in its first road game getting punched in the mouth. But again, the lack of effort can't be defended. I expect a MUCH more focused team today, on both ends of the floor. A home crowd will certainly help, especially a home crowd that is ready to help these guys redeem themselves.
In the big picture of the season, Thursday night doesn't matter in the sense of a loss or rankings. But it matters a ton in the sense of how much this team can improve going forward. After recent home contests against Morehead and LIU-Brooklyn left fans a tad uneasy about the team defense, the Notre Dame showing helped solidify those fears a little.
The good news? Redemption starts today, at home against Baylor. So what should we expect?
For starters, look for Cal to have a shorter leash than usual regarding effort, especially on defense. Many have noted that Nerlens Noel and Julius Mays are the only ones who really gave it everything Thursday night. Look for at least one or two more to follow suit today.
My choice? Alex Poythress. I'm going to compare his performance against Notre Dame to Terrance Jones' disappearance at Indiana last year. We know how that turned out for Terrance. Let's hope the same applies to AlPo.
I'm torn on Archie Goodwin. Part of me thinks he will return to his driving, scoring ways, but the biggest part of me thinks Cal keeps him in check and plays him more at the two. That's what this team needs going forward.
I also wouldn't be surprised if Kyle Wiltjer sees reduced minutes if his shot isn't falling early. He's still a liability on defense, and if he's not scoring, he's useless at this point.
Look for Ryan Harrow to get several minutes today, especially if Wiltjer struggles. Other than the 7'1″ Isiah Austin, Baylor's biggest players get little playing time, so assuming (big assumption) Kentucky shows up ready to bang the boards, they can afford to go small if necessary.
Two players to watch for Baylor today are Brady Heslip and Pierre Jackson. They lead the team in three-point percentage, and that is a huge Achilles heel for UK at this point. As for Austin, I'm not terribly worried about him. He's over 7′ tall, yet averages less than a block per game, and doesn't even lead the team in rebounding. His 8.2/game is second to Cory Jefferson's 9.0.
For UK, Noel may be limited by Austin, especially if Baylor goes inside early to draw fouls. Willie Cauley-Stein will most likely get valuable minutes, and his production will be needed. Also, expect big things from Poythress. I don't see him having two bad games in a row.
Archie Goodwin, as I said earlier, is a toss-up to me. I think he gets his, and has a big game, but I expect it to come in a different way than careening down the lane every time.
As for the home winning streak? I think it stays intact. UK has only lost consecutive games once under John Calipari, and that was a road game against a ranked Florida squad.
I don't have any predictions about the shooting percentage today, but I will say I'm confident in the defense. Cal may be yanking guys out left and right, but before the end of it, he'll find five to play hard for him.
I'm also gonna make the bold prediction that Archie Goodwin will pass on the fast break at least once.
Cats beat Bears, 78-67.

The Mediator Confronts Fear (08/02/13)
When Hamlet says at the very end of the play, "The readiness is all," he could be talking about our clients and ourselves. In a voluntary process such as mediation, no one should be agreeing to anything before he or she is ready. Only after they have found the cause of their fear and worked through it will be their ready to commit to an agreement.

Marital Mediation: An Emerging Area Of Practice (05/18/09)
This article describes the process of "Marital Mediation" as a relatively new field of family mediation, designed to keep couples together using established family mediation techniques. Previously many of these techniques were used solely in divorce mediation. We begin by describing what the process involves, how it differs from both couples counseling and divorce mediation, and why we believe it often works for couples when counseling has not. We also discuss suggestions for promoting the development of Marital Mediation using both research and marketing techniques. 4 Comments
Marital Mediation For Family Mediators (04/07/09)
If you are a family mediator, you might expand your practice to offer mediation to help couples stay married. The process, called "marital mediation," uses the specific settlement focus of mediation to preserve a marriage in ways not attempted by family therapy. The process uses your family mediation skills to help couples negotiate new terms for their marriage. Couples may use mediation to enter into a written post-marital contract defining their own solutions. 1 Comment

Lee says VDI is costly but can eventually pay for itself. The school used a private grant to upgrade its Cisco/Enterasys network in preparation of deploying VDI and then to fund the virtualization software itself. While he wouldn't say the cost, he says that at the end of eight years the school will spend half what it would have had it not transitioned to VDI with the break-even point coming sometime in the fourth year.
He has several recommendations. Phase in the deployments with the simplest ones first, Lee says, because there is a learning curve.
Be wary of creating too many virtual desktop gold images because they create more work. The more images there are, the more updates have to be applied. He recommends figuring out how to create a common-denominator base image that fits the largest number of end users. To keep down the number of images, he deems it unsuitable to use VDI everywhere.
Scripps Networks -- the company behind the Food Network, the Cooking Channel and the Travel Channel -- relies on VDI for its developer community, says Selene Tolbert, project manager for development operations at the company's Knoxville, Tenn., headquarters.
The company uses collaboration extensively to support its agile software development process and its developers around the world. If developers tap into a virtual desktop remotely and it goes bad, they call up a new one if the old one can't be fixed; the user continues working.
Tolbert recommends tracking what tools end users need and when time comes to upgrade gold desktop images, incorporate them. She says it's imperative to check how licensing differs for applications when they are deployed virtually vs. being installed on PCs. The costs can differ significantly, she says. Some open source vendors don't care about the licensing but may have versions of their application that might be tuned specifically for cloud virtual desktop deployment.
When choosing how to deploy VDI, businesses should remain open to using desktop-as-a-service offerings, Tolbert says. The company chose Quest (then Desktone) in 2011 because it supported the Citrix HDX virtual desktop protocol and it was pleased with Quest's service.
ALSO: Desktop virtualization cheat sheet
It may be more expensive to host VDI in the cloud even with the costs of hardware, cooling, floorspace and staff with their benefits packages. It's worth a few hundred dollars per month extra to avoid all that and have the option to expand the infrastructure rapidly when the need arises, she says. "We didn't want to grow IT to the point where it was taking away from broadcasting," she says.
One lesson Tolbert has learned is that end users, particularly in the development community, prefer to choose the platforms they work on. Some Scripps developers want VDI but steer clear of it because they don't want to use Windows, and as a result she is seeking better VDI support for Linux. About 50 to 80 users opted not to use VDI, so the company still maintains data center resources for them. But the 57 who do use VDI still represent a reduction in the resources needed.

Unlike a worm, a virus cannot infect other computers without assistance. It can be propagated when you trade programs or files with friends. The virus may do nothing but propagate itself and then allow the program to run normally. Usually, however, after propagating silently for a while, it starts doing things like writing cute messages on the terminal or playing strange tricks with the display (some viruses include display hacks). Many nasty viruses, written by particularly perversely minded crackers, do irreversible damage, like nuking all the user's files. In order to protect your computer from viruses, all computers throughout the District come standard with Symantec's Norton Anti virus™. Correct use of this software product will help protect your computer against most virus attacks. The software is supported by Symantec™ Security Response team, the world's leading Internet security research and support organization.
As technology advances and more people come to rely on the Internet for information, leisure, and business it seems as if keeping your computer free of advertising is a daunting task. Not technically fitting into either the virus or spam category we have spyware and adware, which are growing concerns for Internet users. At times these programs may invade your privacy, contain malicious code, and at the very least they can be a nuisance when using a computer connected to the Internet.
Adware is considered a legitmate alternative offered to consumers who do not wish to pay for software. Programs, games or utilities can be designed and distributed as freeware . Sometimes freeware blocks features and functions of the software until you pay to register it. Today we have a growing number of software developers who offer their goods as "sponsored" freeware until you pay to register. Generally most or all features of the freeware are enabled but you will be viewing sponsored advertisements while the software is being used. The advertisements usually run in a small section of the software interface or as a pop-up ad box on your desktop . When you stop running the software, the ads should disappear. This allows consumers to try the software before they buy and you always have the option of disabling the ads by purchasing a registration key.
In many cases, adware is a legitimate revenue source for companies who offer their software free to users. A perfect example of this would be the popular e-mail program, Eudora. You can choose to purchase Eudora or run the software in sponsored mode. In sponsored mode Eudora will display an ad window in the program and up to three sponsored toolbar links. Eudora adware is not malicious; it reportedly doesn't track your habits or provide information about you to a third party. This type of adware is simply serving up random paid ads within the program. When you quit the program the ads will stop running on your system.
Unfortunately, some freeware applications which contain adware do track your surfing habits in order to serve ads related to you. When the adware becomes intrusive like this, then we move it in the spyware category and it then becomes something you should avoid for privacy and security reasons. Due to its invasive nature, spyware has really given adware a bad name as many people do not know the differences between the two, or use the the terms interchangeably.
Spyware is considered a malicious program and is similar to a Trojan Horse in that users unwittingly install the product when they install something else. A common way to become a victim of spyware is to download certain peer-to-peer file swapping products that are available today.
Spyware works like adware but is usually a separate program that is installed unknowingly when you install another freeware type program or application. Once installed, the spyware monitors user activity on the Internet and transmits that information in the background to someone else. Spyware can also gather information about e-mail addresses and even passwords and credit card numbers.
Because spyware exists as independent executable programs, they have the capability to monitor your keystrokes , scan files on the hard drive , snoop other applications, such as chat programs or word processors, install other spyware programs, read cookies , change the default home page on the Web browser , while consistently relaying this information back to the spyware author who will either use it for advertising and marketing purposes or sell the information to another party.
Licensing agreements that accompany software downloads sometimes warn the user that a spyware program will be installed along with the requested software, but the licensing agreements are not always be read completely by users because the notice of a spyware installation is often couched in obtuse, hard-to-read legal disclaimers.
Combating Spyware
While one may not realize they have installed spyware, there are some signs that it exists on your computer. If you notice any changes to your Web browser that you did not make such as extra toolbars or different homepage settings, as well as changes to your security settings and favorites list, you could have spyware running on your system. Other signs of a spyware infection include pop-up ads which aren't related to a Web site you're viewing; usually spyware advertisements are adult content in nature and are not displayed in the same fashion as legitimate ads you would normally see on your favorite Web sites. You may also see advertisements when you're not browsing the Web. Clicking hyperlinks which do not work (or take you somewhere you didn't expect), a sluggish system, or your system taking longer to load the Windows desktop are all signs that your computer may be infected with spyware.
With the onset of spyware comes a plethora of anti-spyware software packages to rid your system of these unwanted and malicious programs. Anti-spyware software works by identifying any spyware installed on your system and removing it. Since spyware is installed like any other application on your system it will leave traces of itself in the system registry and in other places on your computer. Anti-spyware software will look for evidence of these files and delete them if found.
It is important to remember that not all companies who claim their software contains adware are really offering adware. There is always a chance that adware is spyware in disguise so to speak, and that programs with embedded spyware may not state its existence at all. Always stay on the side of caution and be sure to research privacy policies and licensing agreements that come with freeware. You should also become familiar with Internet lists of companies reported to be using spyware. Much like a firewall or anti-virus program , anti-spyware software is crucial to maintain optimal protection and security on your computer and network.
Note: If you believe you have a virus, spyware, or adware on your computer please contact the ETS Call Center

As of late I've been around some conversations in BleedingGreenNation and BigBlueView regarding the NFL players and coaches Top 100 for 2011 and the love that Eli Manning gets, deservingly or not. Obviously, in those places the conversation CAN'T ignore the Cowboys and that's OK, we share the NFC East Division, they don't like our team and it's mutual.
So, all that served as food for thought for this post, in which I look at the QB situation for the 3 teams and what I consider a fair ranking of the NFL Top 10 QBs.
Tony Romo and Troy Aikman deserve no love for different reasons.
If you're a Cowboys fan and you've heard or read this line "Romo will be considered a good or better QB when he shows it in the Playoffs", would you please raise your hand? I can see a forest of hands...
Sure, Tom Brady won all those Playoffs games in the past decade by being alone out there... Wait, him and Vinatieri did... Wait, I'm mentioning a Kicker? Fugget 'bout it! Montana surely won all those 4 Super Bowls by himself then! What? He has company in the Hall of Fame? Jerry Rice, Ronnie Lott and Bill Walsh? A receiver, a CB/S and a Coach? That hardly counts... Bradshaw? Too painful... Some of those rings he didn't deserve...
Ok, then, I guess that Romo shouldn't deserve credit until he shows that he can help his team win in the Playoffs... Oh, wait, that won't happen... It's all about Aikman...
If you're a Cowboys fan and you've heard or read this line "Aikman was an average to good QB that drove a great team to 3 Super Bowl victories", would you please raise your hand? Huh, another forest...
Sure, winning a Super Bowl isn't the mark of a great QB... How else would QBs like Brad Johnson, Trent Dilfer, Mark Rypien and some others (Eli Manning? I kid, I kid!) find a way to lead their teams to Super Bowl victories... What? Aikman led his team to 3? That's an indication of how good that team was! Surely, every other team that won several Super Bowls in a small window managed that with less stars...
Ok, then, I guess that Romo and Aikman won't ever get the respect that they deserve, haters will look long and hard at ways to bring them down.
I love it, man, haters gonna hate and they will be consistent 'bout it.
Michael Vick. The pre-week 12 one, the week 12 and post one or the career one?
How are we supposed to rank this guy? He has one year of true production as an Eagle and 6 years of production with the Falcons, but that's not it, you can also find a difference between the 2010 Vick:
Pre-week 12 (7 games, 6 complete ones):
Week 12 and post (6 games, includes one Postseason game):
If his production during his career tells me something is that the 1st set of numbers aren't very reliable, he was always closer to the 2nd set. So, as an Eagle and health dependant, is he going to be something in between both sets? 20 TDs, 10 Ints., 3500 yards and his ground production?
Sounds like solid numbers to me, but nothing close to his production early in 2010.
Eli Manning is more than good.
And he deserved being in the Top 100 above Freeman and McNabb. Why wasn't he? I can't understand it, just like most Giants fans.
Looking at his 2010 numbers, I can think of a reason (25 Ints.), but I can also look at their injuries along the OLine, how his best friend as a pass catcher had an injury riddled year (Steve Smith) and I know that if many things are against you that you won't look pretty, QB can become a pretty lonely position back there.
Some of his defenders like to mention how Drew Brees is highly respected and the guy threw 22 Interceptions last year, but they fail to mention that he had no running game at all. So teams knew that they were going to throw the ball. And the Saints suffered the same disease that's hurting the Colts, the disease of having no-name bookends at Tackle (Among other things it hurts YPA, you have to throw more short or out of bounds passes).
So, how good is Eli Manning? I'm thinking something in between last season and the previous 2 years (48 TDs - 24 Ints.).
2011 QB Ranking:
- Peyton Manning. Tackles disease + Injuries at pass catchers + Poor running game + Tough schedule = Almost the same always silly-high level of play.
- Tom Brady. The guy efficiently manages to win games and he's highly productive while doing so.
- Drew Brees. Tackles disease + Poor running game + Tough schedule = Almost the same always silly-high level of play.
- Aaron Rodgers. The guy efficiently manages to win games and he's highly productive while doing so.
- Phillip Rivers. In the last 3 years he has 92 TDs - 33 Ints. Yeah, that's almost a 3-1 ratio.
- Ben Roethlisberger. As a passer he's as good as hard as he's to bring down. VERY.
- Mike Vick.
- Tony Romo. Not a ranking based in last year's production, it's about the last 3 years.
- Eli Manning.
- Matt Ryan. The guy efficiently manages to win games and he's highly productive while doing so.

Franak Viachorka: Authorities hide truth about AWOL soldier
16:27, — Army
The most popular reason for desertion is bullying and biased attitude from commanders.
Journalist and former political soldier Franak Viachorka spoke to charter97.org about the disappearance of a soldier from the special purpose brigade in Maryina Horka.
"I think the information that he was found at a disco is not true. Usually they say so to get off the subject and create the impression that the problem is solved. The authorities and the military don't want the situation to develop," the activist says.
The former soldier says the most popular cause of intentional or non-intentional desertion is bullying.
"It may include bullying by fellow soldiers and biased treatment by a commander. He might have been frightened, for example. Everyone knows that soldiers face psychological measures if the commander thinks they violated the rules: they are isolated, intimidated and threatened or face inhuman conditions. There's a probability that the soldier has a criminal aim. Anyway, it's obvious that the authorities don't want to tell the truth about the AWOL soldier. The public has the opportunity to find the guy. Moreover, if he escaped with weapons, it threatens both the reputation of Lukashenka's army and people," Franak Viachorka says.
We remind that the law-enforcement bodies appealed to public looking for a soldier from the special purpose brigade in the town of Maryina Horka.
The soldier's name is Aliaksandr Sushchyk, born in 1992. The young man wearing military uniform has a knife bayonet and a portable radio transmitter. He is almost 2 metres tall and has a birthmark on the right side of the neck.

The Falcoholic leads a discussion of running backs on the Atlanta Falcons roster. The question is, which potential third-stringer will provide the greatest value in the season ahead?
Maybe this is what we should've been thinking of as a free agent explosion.

While not all three of these guys will have an impact for the Falcons next season, there's a very good chance that at least one of them will. I'm excited to see what Lewis and James can do, in particular.

Falcons Lose Close One to Saints
The Atlanta Falcons showed a little signs of life, going the distance with the New Orleans Saints in a 17-13 loss. Despite now sporting a 2-9 record, the Falcons were able to hang with the rival Saints (now 9-2) and had opportunities to win the game late. It is a stark change from recent performances which have seen the Falcons get beat by at least two scores in four straight games.
Matt Ryan had an improved performance, completing 30 of 39 passes for 292 yards, but was held without a touchdown for the first time in 16 games. Steven Jackson scored the Falcons' lone touchdown, leading the team with 16 carries for 63 yards on the ground. Harry Douglas led receivers with 9 catches for 79 yards. Darius Johnson (6 catches, 67 yards), Tony Gonzalez (4 catches, 43 yards), and Jackson (3 catches, 16 yards) had notable contributions in the passing game as well. Roddy White was held in check for the most part, catching just a pair of passes for 24 yards. Matt Bryant connected on two field goals from 39 and 24 yards out, but missed a 52-yard field goal in the fourth quarter. The kicked sailed wide left, giving the Saints the ball back and a chance to seal the game with their four-point lead. Matt Bosher punted 3 times for an average of 45.3 yards, with 1 punt placed inside the 20-yard line. Robert McClain returned one punt for 10 yards. The Falcons third down offense improved this week, as they were able to convert on half of their 12 attempts. They were also able to score touchdowns on one of two red zone trips.
Defensively, the Falcons held the Saints to their second-lowest scoring output of the season. They gave up 374 total yards, including 103 on the ground. They were unable to provide adequate pressure, totaling only a single sack on Drew Brees, and struggled to get off the field on third downs. The Saints were successful at converting 54-percent of their 13 third down attempts. Paul Worrilow led the team in tackles for the fourth-consecutive week, tallying 9 stops on the night. Jonathan Babineaux (4 tackles); Joplo Bartu (7 tackles); Thomas DeCoud (7 tackles, 1 pass defended); Peria Jerry (3 tackles, 2 tackles for loss, 1 sack); Robert McClain (5 tackles); William Moore (5 tackles); Desmond Trufant (5 tackles, 3 passes defended); and Sean Weatherspoon (4 tackles) had notable performances.

Just a few weeks ago, it looked as though the Big 12 may have as many as four top-ten-worthy teams.
Oklahoma was one of the preseason favorites to make the National Championship game. Kansas State was able to beat the Sooners, though, and moved themselves into the top ten. Meanwhile, West Virginia and Texas were each moving up in the polls.
After week nine, it looks like Kansas State (8-0, 5-0) is the only truly elite team in the conference. The Wildcats had just defeated West Virginia in Morgantown, and some were worried that their game against Texas Tech on Saturday would be a letdown spot. Instead, Bill Snyder's team put up 55 points for the second week in a row, routing the Red Raiders, 55-24.
With Geno Smith's struggles as of late, Collin Klein has become the Heisman favorite, and he had another huge game against Texas Tech (6-2, 3-2). He had two rushing and passing touchdowns each. He helped take what was a close game, and turned it into a comfortable win for Kansas State.
This defense has proven to be one of the best in the league, too. The Big 12 has become notorious for being pretty bad on that side of the ball, but the Wildcat defense held an explosive Texas Tech offense to just 24 points, while forcing three turnovers. The toughest part of the schedule is over with now, too. It's going to take an upset for this team to lose a game now.
And it all started with that win in Norman. Kansas State had to be really good, because nobody just walks into Norman and comes away with a win. That was, apparently, until this year. Not only did Oklahoma (5-2, 3-1) lose that game, but the Sooners hosted Notre Dame on Saturday, and were handed a 30-13 loss.
Any doubt about whether or not Notre Dame (8-0) was a BCS Title contender has been silenced, but any hope that Oklahoma was part of that group has also been erased.
The Sooners tied the game at 13 in the second half, but the Fighting Irish scored a touchdown on the next drive and would never relinquish that lead. Oklahoma's two losses have now come to two top five teams. There won't be anymore of those left on the schedule, so this team may still be better than the record indicates. Next week, the team will travel to take on Iowa State.
The Cyclones (5-3, 2-3) played Baylor (3-4, 0-4) this past week. The Bears were still looking for their first Big 12 win, but they wouldn't get it in Ames.
Steele Jantz played the game of his career for Iowa State, throwing for 381 yards and five touchdowns, while adding 54 yards rushing. The Baylor defense has looked terrible all season, but it still has to be encouraging for Cyclone fans to see the offense look as good as it did on Saturday.
The schedule won't be easy for Iowa State for here on out, but there are still two more home games on it, plus a road matchup with Kansas. The Cyclones just need to win one of those games to become bowl eligible. Baylor will play Kansas in week ten, and that should provide the best opportunity to get that first conference win.
The Jayhawks have been terrible all year, but they almost handed Mack Brown one of the worst losses in his tenure at Texas. Kansas (1-7, 0-5) kicked a field goal with under three minutes remaining to take a 17-14 lead. However, Case McCoy would take the field for David Ash and lead a touchdown drive with seconds remaining to give Texas (6-2, 3-2) the 21-17 win.
There probably won't be a lot of celebrating in Austin over this one. The Longhorns have won two games in a row, but they haven't exactly looked good doing it. With road games against Texas Tech and Kansas State coming up, this team has a lot of work to do down the stretch.
The only other game took place in Stillwater, where Oklahoma State (5-2, 3-1) scored the game's last 36 points against TCU (5-3, 2-3) to win, 36-14.
Things looked good for the Horned Frogs early, as they jumped out to a 14-0 lead. From that point on, though, the Cowboy defense shut them out. Wes Lunt returned to the field for this one, replacing the injured J.W. Walsh. He threw for 324 yards and led an offense that put up 471 yards.
The Cowboys quietly have just one loss in the conference so far. They also get to play Kansas State and Oklahoma yet. It's certainly a long shot, as both games are on the road, but this is a team that can still win this conference if it wins out. That's not likely to happen, but the other teams in this league won't want to take Oklahoma State lightly.
That game against Kansas State will come next weekend. The Wildcats are in the home stretch and need just four more wins to finish undefeated. Nobody has done that in the Big 12 since 2009, when Texas went to the National Championship Game.
Kansas State has the same goal in mind right now, but needs to avoid upsets to prove itself as an elite team.

Providence, R.I. (AP) — A 52-year-old former Chariho High School assistant soccer coach has pleaded guilty to federal child pornography charges.
The U.S. Attorney's office in Rhode Island said Glen Matteson of Richmond pleaded guilty Tuesday to one count each of receipt, possession and distribution of child pornography. He was indicted on the same charges in August.
He faces a mandatory minimum sentence of 5 years and up to 60 years in prison during February sentencing.
The U.S. Attorney's office says Matteson also faces charges of indecent solicitation of a child brought by Richmond police in state court.
Matteson was arrested in February. Authorities began investigating after a parent reported Matteson sent his juvenile son inappropriate text messages.
A working telephone listing for Matteson couldn't be found and he couldn't be reached for comment.

Obesity is being described as an epidemic, with more than two-thirds of Americans classified as overweight or obese. The problem continues to rise: the US adult obesity rate has more than doubled since the mid-1970s when 15 per cent of adults were obese, to 35.7 per cent in 2010, according to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
- Read more: How do I know if I'm obese?
Carrying too much weight on your body can lead to a variety of problems which may threaten your health and longevity, like heart disease, diabetes and fatty liver disease. So what really causes obesity?
Fat, carbs, or calories? Despite an explosion of diet books blaming individual nutritional components, like fat and carbohydrates, health agencies around the world warn that people are gaining weight simply because they're taking in more calories every day than they're burning off.
How much are we eating? In a 2008 report compiled by the US Department of Agriculture USDA), economists Hodan Wells and Jean Buzby write that Americans are eating more of everything — including healthy fruits and vegetables — compared with their consumption decades ago. Wells tells me that in 1970, for example, the average daily caloric intake for an American adult was an estimated 2,076 calories. (Intake is estimated by the USDA by factoring in national food production, imports, exports, and loss due to spoilage). By 2010, that number had jumped to 2,534, a difference of 458 calories each day. While that may not sound like much, if those calories aren't being compensated for through greater daily activity, they can translate to an extra 46 pounds per year!
Fortunately, average rates of weight gain are not as high as that, but incremental increases in daily consumption can certainly account for extra pounds over months, or years. How much weight you may gain, and how quickly, will depend on how many calories you eat, how active you are, and to a certain extent on your personal body composition (the ratio of muscle tissue in your body compared with fat tissue). More muscle mass usually means you'll burn more calories over the course of a day, even when your body is at rest.
- Read more: What should I weigh?
How important are genetics in obesity? Obesity tends to run in families, though this may have more to do with lifestyle patterns than genetics. Family members often share dietary habits and activity levels, which will each play a large role in an individual's weight. Take heart that maintaining a healthy weight is still possible, even if there's a tendency towards obesity in your family tree.
Why diets work: Any diet regimen will help you lose weight in the short term if it restricts calories to keep your consumption level below the number of calories you expend. While proponents of certain diets may insist that calories "don't count", the common element shared by successful regimens is this calorie deficit. Over the long-term, balancing calories in with calories burned will help you avoid weight "creep", or incremental weight gain over time.
Well-fed but not well-nourished: In their 2008 report, Wells and Buzby warn that even though Americans are eating more, they're still not achieving optimum nutrition. For example, most people consume twice the recommended amount of refined grains each day, and only one-third the recommended 3oz (85g) of whole grains daily.
In order to meet the minimum dietary guidelines laid out by the US government in 2005, they write, people would need to "substantially lower their intake of added fats, refined grains, and added sugars and sweeteners and increase their consumption of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lower-fat milk and milk products."

Heavy Metals: Nope
I didn't mention that because I think if it is in the soil it may in fact enter the food chain in more elevated rates. But in whatever rate it may enter, I doubt once the soil itself is washed away from the produce, there would be little more that surface washing or even cooking would affect.
As to heavy metals being used in pesticides ... lead, cadmium ... that surely isn't safe and I have doubt would be in use anywhere, even in underdeveloped countries.
As to the original point, organochlorines are not uncommon toxins in pesticides and these are the ones that do have recognized safe limits. Since they are water soluble, washing would seem to mitigate their transmission if present, leaving the question about the efficacy of specialized cleansers over and above just washing. In that regard, I'd be skeptical, but if anyone was unconvinced, balancing that concern could be accomplished with wholly natural substitutes to the surfactants listed in the ingredients given.

Rated 4.1 out of 5 by 1014 reviewers.
Rated 4 out of 5 by roemer123 Excellent but watch out for the extra costs! Stayed at the Sheraton from July 6-9. The location is perfect!. It's right in the heart of downtown. Close to some serious shopping and walking distance to the Pike Place Market and an abundance of restaurants. I adore the scent in the main lobby.The rooms are very clean but the electrical outlets were old and worn. I tried to plug in my blowdryer and straightener and couldn't, they just kept falling out. I was charged extra for Wi-fi access that barely worked. I called the front desk and was told they would waive the wi-fi charge. Parking is NOT included in the room rate. Be prepared to pay extra for parking and WA state parking tax. Also i was still charged for the Wi-fi that was supposed to be waived.. an error on the hotels part that they kindly corrected. Overall good - it's a great place to stay. Overall bad - I wasn't made aware of the extra parking fees. The hotel chain should advertise the extra fees upfront when booking online. July 21, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Kath50 Great family weekend We booked two adjoining rooms for a family gathering in Seattle.The hotel was great, beds really comfortable for a much needed nights sleep after walking the flower show which was conveniently located in the adjacent Convention Center. The hotel had everything we needed and was centrally located to restaurants, shopping and Pike Market. February 24, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Mohave Prime location and nice clean rooms You are within walking distance to all the great things that Downtown Seattle has to offer. The hotel has a beautiful lobby area and nice workout / pool facilities. Our room was so clean and comfortable that the kids wanted to just stay and hang out there! We plan to visit Seattle at least 3 times a year and will stay here everytime. July 10, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by foreversunshine Over the top service!!! Some girlfriends and I came into town for one of our birthdays...The lovely folks at the Seattle Sheraton went above and beyond to make our stay extra special...I will always choose them first the next time I stay in Seattle. Just cant say enough how great our weekend was and alot of that was the customer service at the Sheraton!!!! May 15, 2012
Rated 3 out of 5 by Marie71 Seattle in April The hotel is pretty average. I was there for a conference and was charged a very high room rate. The room and amenities were definitely not worth the rate. The room was small, no refrigerator/microwave, or ipod dock--which are small things I expect for the price. It would be nice to have machines on the floors to get beverages. April 25, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by jfehh Convenient, Clean, Friendly Friendly helpful staff, together with comfortable room and top-rate public areas, made this downtown hotel a pleasant experience. March 3, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by BLC101 Two Towers Hotel give me a room in Union tower, But, Fitness center and Lounge were at the Pike side, it was inconvenience to walk back and forward, after the work out with wet cloth. I would have asked for Pike side if front desk had advice me of the fact. But, overall it was very nice hotel and friendly. Thank you for wonderful stay. November 8, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by dabaum77 Good place to stay for conference I stayed here while attending a conference and the location was fantastic, right across the street from the convention center. The workout facilities were amazing and the coffee shop in the lobby was open very early, which worked out well for me. I liked the option to skip maid service for a $5 food and drink voucher. I was not overly impressed with the chair provided for the desk in the room. The desk was nice and large, but the chair was not a true office chair and felt like it was taken from one of their ballrooms...not comfortable for long-term sitting and working. Also, the standing closet was designed in such a way that one could not hang a pair of pants completely unfolded. Any long items would brush the floor. I was a single guest in the room and was provided with 2 large bath towels, which felt like they really only wanted to provide the bare minimum. Check in and check out went relatively smoothly. I did not really interact with other staff members. May 11, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Beth70 Delightful Holiday Experience We have stayed in various Sheraton Hotels and well as the Westin. This experience in downtown Seattle was one of the best. The staff was courteous and welcoming. Even thought it was a busy time just before Christmas, we never felt rushed. The lounge was a plus that was beyond expectations. We definiely want to stay again. December 22, 2011
Rated 4 out of 5 by JackApple Good start bad finish Good start, great check in but my keys didn't work twice, one trip up with bags and stuck, second trip key worked. Third day no room service/turndown as requested. too busy to complain this time :) The facility and staff were great besides that. June 16, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Jaypiddy Love the Club Lounge We stayed at the Sheraton last weekend and stayed on the Club level for the first time. The food was very fresh for both apps and breakfast. I would recommend it for anyone traveling with kids and family. It's a great value. January 29, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by warren Bell men were no where to be found The valet was excellent during to checkout. The luggage, however, was stored away and there was no one to get my luggage. The bell desk was empty and only one person was at the reception desk who was swamped. Had to wait for 30 minutes before the manager came out to help. Almost missed my flight January 4, 2012
Rated 1 out of 5 by notimpressed123 service stinks Bad choice. Had a early check in for noon and when Ishowed up @ 2:30 the room was still not ready and I was not called until 4 pm to check in. Also - check out was @ 11 yet Ihad three people come knocking on my door and asking me when I was leaving between 1030 and 10 45. Never stay hre again. May 23, 2012
Rated 2 out of 5 by Jen44 Very Disappointed We were at the Sheraton, not of our choice, but it was mandated for the function that my son was a part of that being Regional NW ACDA. (a youth choir event) Our room was old and out dated and not the quality of any of the other rooms that fellow participants were staying in (remodled and up to date) yet we paid the same rate. The fan in the restroom did not work so every time we showered we had to deal with the "steam issue" and the towel rack with the bath towels actually hung IN the shower. The grime on the light fixtures was so thick that the first two times we showered it actually sluffed off onto the counter top. The first night of our arrival, I asked for the wet bar to be emptied as my son is Autistic and we bring his food with us. We needed the refrigerator for parishables. When I called down and asked for it to be emptied, I was told they would gladly do it for a $30 to $50 fee. When I again emphasized the reason we needed it emptied, the hotel complied emphasizing that there would not be a fee. Upon checkout I again spoke to the SPG person checking us out and was again assured that there would not be a charge. Received my final "personal folio" today and guess what...not only is there a charge but it is a $189 charge. I have called and been assured that it will be refunded to my card in 5-7 days. This is the first time I have stayed at a Sheraton and will most likely be the last unless I have no other choice. Very disappointed. March 18, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by KDS5578 new towels you need new towels, they were very thin and threadbare June 18, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by dmac328 Rough Stay I checked in at the front desk, and was given 2 keys. I carried my bag up to my room, and neither key worked. I went back down to the front desk, and apparently they had assigned the keys to the wrong room. Not a big deal, just slightly annoying. My room was in a weird corner with 3 other rooms. I heard people coming in and out all night, including a loud fighting couple around 3am. At 6am, I was woken up by someone delivering room service. I did not order room service, and my "do not disturb" sign was on the door. When I got to the door half asleep, the girl at the door rudely said "you ordered room service." I said "no i didn't." She just said "oh," and walked away. No apology. I will not be staying at this hotel again. May 23, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by KayK Worst stay Ever Disgusting. My room was never cleaned EVER. When I complained about it I was told it would be cleaned the next day and it was not. Wastebaskets overflowing. Out of Kleenex. Out of coffee. I never put that little tag the door. I feel it was absolutely disgusting. I paid over $250 a day! I will never stay there again. June 14, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by PJDD Like going Home Even for a one night stay on a quick trip to Seattle from Vancouver, when I pull up and the valet takes my car I always feel like I'm is a super-friendly safe and comforting environment - like going home! Sheraton knows the true meaning of hospitality and guest services. November 4, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Dillie Great Stay This is a lovely downtown Seattle hotel convenient to many attractions, shopping and restaurants. The rooms are very nice and beds are great. Nice fitness center. Staff was very helpful but concierge explanation of bus schedule was confusing. Would definitely return to this hotel. July 28, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by MScottW2012 Average Hotel. Clean. Erroroneously Charged. Rather average hotel. Room and facilities were clean. After I had left I got an updated bill with an erroroneous charge for $16.xx for room snack. I called and they said they'd credit my CC but only after I had insisted aggressively I had not touched the snack trays in any way. July 31, 2012
Rated 2 out of 5 by Conbobby This Hotel lacked Hot Water During my 4-day stay, the water in my room never got past tepid. Showering was uncomfortable, and shaving was near impossible -- I had to boil water in the coffee maker. I complained 3 times and got answers like "the engineers are working on it" or "let me check into that" December 2, 2011
Rated 5 out of 5 by RegAUS49 Old property but great service I'll give you full marks for my stay, during a 5 night conference. All my meals were at the Sheraton and the food was excellent. My room was great having everything I needed. Hotel staff were friendly and very efficient. October 21, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by lejb44 great location Great location and very good service.Front Desk very polite and accomodating. All of my requests were promptly attended to. Concierge was very helpful and informative.All in all a very good experience.Would definitely recommend. April 18, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Marcy22 best fitness center/pool Very impressed with the beautiful fitness center & pool at the top of building. Gorgeous view of Seattle. Thick large swim towels handy. Wish they had a shower however, but overall it was great. Machines were modern/top notch June 28, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by sounders Executuve Lounge The cofee was GOOD! Been a while since I'd been in the Lounge, and don't remember seeing a computer terminal & printer being avalable for guest use. Also, some hot entrees for for Sunday Breakfast would have ben nice. July 17, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by BD1305 Hotel Stay The hotel stay was great. i enjoyed the comfort of the room and the view from the window. Everything was in perfect working order. June 16, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by GoVikes Love the Hotel The hotel was awesome. The staff was great to us and the location was perfect. My only issue was the black lace thong that was on the back cushion of the couch. It was not mine. Needless to say it was gross. May 28, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by VancouverGolfer Now I remember why I stay here The Sheraton Seattle has it all: location, amenities, service and quality. Situated in downtown Seattle, you can literally walk (or run if you're into that) to all of the major attractions. The Fitness Centre and Pool are great and the views from the 35th floor are breathtaking. The staff are courteous and SPG members are treated especially well. Overall the quality of stay was fantastic. June 9, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by bob46 bob r The facility is located in the heart of downtown and is very easy to walk to the wharf and other fun places. The only negative is the high cost of parking and the internet charge. October 6, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Murphysfo Great Experience The Sheraton is in ideal location and the rooms are top notch. I had a noisy neighbor and the front desk staff made changing rooms a breeze. Looking forward to my next stay next week!! December 8, 2011

Life in the Rangers Clubhouse
I got to do what most Lone Star rejects would die to do. I have a job in Vegas working in the visiting clubhouse for the AAA team here. And this weekend, the Rangers and Cubs will play a game on Saturday and Sunday. I happen to have the Rangers in my clubhouse. So I have the pleasure of hanging with Ranger stars such as Josh Hamilton, Elvis Andrus, Derek Holland, Adrain Beltre, Nelson Cruz, and others plus Ron Washington. I find it ironic that die hard Angels fan would have this opportunity. I was restraining myself from screaming, "ONE STRIKE AWAY!"

The much hyped Google's "own phone", the Moto X, is rumored to have been caught on camera, finally. Moto X is touted to be the first Google-branded phone coming from the stables of Motorola since its acquisition by Google in 2011. Google assured last year that Motorola — now known as Motorola Mobility — would not be merged with any of Google's existing divisions and would continue to operate independently. That propelled hopes for the next NEXUS device coming from Google itself, via Motorola. Although that hasn't happened yet, Moto X's performance in the market could be a decider on whether Google would make the switch to producing its own hardware. NEXUS phones and tablets have been, until now, been made by Samsung, Asus and LG.
From a leaked photo, reported by Android Central, the purported Moto X looks a bit smaller than today's trending 5-inch phablets (Samsung Galaxy S4 and HTC One). It seems to be running a newer version of Android, although the customizations (on home screen) seen could be part of Motorola's own UI experience.

"I take fifteen doses of pills every day, some i take twice a day," said 92-year-old Birdie Gelfer who has to be confusing for people like Birdie who depend on a lot of different medications for different ailments.
But soon, it should become a little less challenging for seniors to remember their medication schedules. Thanks to a successful pilot program at Walter Reed Medical Center. Researchers there have created a pharmacy care program that sends the patient home with new, individualized blister packs containing all the pills they need and instructions on when to take them.
"In the study we found that medication adherence improved from 61 percent before the program to over 96 percent," said Dr. Allen Taylor, of Walter Reed Army Medical Center.
"Because they took all the worrying of remembering and fussing with the vials. All you do is go to your card, punch out what you need for that period," said Gelfer.
The findings appear in JAMA, the Journal of the American Medical Association. It says that not only did seniors improve on taking their medicine but they ended up healthier too.
