Yeah, OK, we lost. But I'm not going to complain about any of the players, or the playcalling, or the interception. I don't care about that - what happened, happened. It's a game.
What I am going to complain about is the announcing. Down 14, with 3 minutes to go, with the ball, Brent Musberger makes a comment that "they're trying to make it a one score game," and half chuckles at it. Kirk Herbstreit says something like "they're playing for pride."
No, idiot. Down 2 scores, with the ball, with 3 minutes to go, you're still playing to win. If they hit a quick TD, it's a one score game and USC's unable to kneel out the clock, so you still might not even have to kick an onside kick. Yeah, it's Hail Mary desperation time, but who knows - maybe USC's long snapper fires it over the punter's head just like he did again.
Later, Herbstreit says something like "USC's gameplan changed..." and he's right. It did. They went from trying to continue to score to trying to run out the clock. That's how you win football games - you throw to gain a lead early, and run to finish the game late. And USC couldn't do that against Penn State. That's dangerous. You can lose games like that - even ones where you're up big. USC didn't "dominate" the game. If they "dominated" the game, they would've been able to gain a single first down on the last few drives so that they could kneel out the clock.
USC knew that they were letting Penn State have life. Sanchez was pissed on the sidelines, trying to get the defense to focus and the skill players to stay in bounds. But instead of the announcers noticing any of this, we got to listen to the announcers blather on about nothing.

We can tell which team didn't overdo it on the turkey this afternoon. RGIII and the Washington Redskins are on fire, opening up a 21-3 lead on the Dallas Cowboys in a Thanksgiving Day matinee. RGIII threw his second touchdown pass of the game, and it was a doozy.
Griffin found Pierre Garcon in the middle on second-and-12, with a perfectly placed pass. Garcon made it a highlight reel play with his catch for a 59-yard touchdown.
That's only Garcon's second touchdown catch of the season. He missed much of the year so far with a foot injury. He now has four catches for 91 yards and a touchdown in this one.
Dallas players didn't like getting burned, again, and starting getting chippy in the end zone. Garcon got a nasty little shove from behind courtesy of Mike Jenkins.
That shot got Jenkins a flag, of course, for unsportsmanlike conduct. The frustration is getting the Cowboys, obviously.

Press Release
Taxpayer Group Urges Senate to Prevent "Harmful Emission" of Energy Tax Bill from Committee
For Immediate Release October 27, 2009
Pete Sepp, (703) 683-5700
(Alexandria, VA) – As the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee (EPW) began to discuss the so-called "cap-and-trade" legislation introduced by Committee Chair Barbara Boxer (D-CA) and Senator John Kerry (D-MA), the nation's oldest taxpayer group urged Senators to prevent the bill from being reported out of committee and stop one of the most "harmful emissions" of all. Andrew Moylan, Director of Government Affairs for the 362,000-member National Taxpayers Union (NTU) provided the following the statement on behalf of his organization:
NTU is a nonpartisan, nonprofit citizen organization founded in 1969 to work for lower taxes, smaller government, and economic freedom at all levels. Note: additional analyses of cap-and-trade plans are available at www.ntu.org or send a text message to 67292.

Discussion in 'Chelsea' started by fernb8, Dec 28, 2012.
game on FSC at 8:30 a.m. EST
Important game against a consistently tough team who have been very strong this season.
Ramires alongside Obi over Luiz for dm on this one, fellaini could cause giver US some trouble.
Fellaini is suspended for this one.
Keep the train rolling.
Awesome news.
Darron Gibson may be out as well, along with Miralles and Hibbert
Seamus Coleman may be back which is bad news because he usually has good games against us
Baines has been handy against us of late so would be interested to see how Cesar handles his marauding.
I really don't know how Baines hasn't acquired the nickname Buzzard yet (one of my favourite place names in all of Britain).
Massive game. I think this will tell us a lot about how the team is progressing and gelling.
Interested to see how the midfield and defensive pairings are handled.
Hope we end up 2012 in a high note, and beating Everton is one of the best ways to do it.
Up the Chels!
Can't see a win here. We've lost at Goodison for the last 3 seasons.
We had never won the CL before last year too. Just saying.
And something to rile lobo....
In Rafa we trust
I'll go on record and say that if we win this tomorrow, I will not b1tch about Rafa as long as he is our manager.
If Chelsea beat Everton, I won't bitch about FSW for the rest of the year
great start
Thank Christ I got up early for this......
We simply can't keep possession so far. In the slightest.
Going to blame the wind for that and not the fact that we cant even set up a wall properly. Good night.....
Pointless long ball after pointless long ball. Pathetic so far.
I think playing in white has confused the majority of our players. We are NOT the team in blue today boys so stop passing the ball to them.
Chelsea Stats @ChelseaStats
Incidentally, if Chelsea do lose today. RDM will have a better win % than Benitez in all competition.
33min in and we finally string something together
So many players just standing waiting for the ball. MOVE / RUN so we can pass into the space and not the player covered by 2 defenders. My goodness......
And Lamps equalizes. Of course its Supah to the rescue.
...but we can't afford to sign him to a multi-year contract!
To be honest, I say we take this point now and go home.
Separate names with a comma.

CITY ENERGY GROUP'S city program
has the potential to generate substantial supplemental revenues for the city, while also providing substantial benefits to your citizens and businesses.
How does it work?
As a Public Utilities Commission licensed electric aggregator since 2002, Texzon, parent to City Energy Group, has established marketing agreements with most of the major electric providers across the nation and have helped thousands of businesses and residents lower their rates. This positions CEG extraordinarily well to provide substantial cost savings to residents and small businesses, while at the very same time generating substantial supplemental revenues for the city.
City Energy Group offers competitive energy rates from multiple providers instead of representing one single electric provider who may or may not offer highly competitive rates to consumers at any given time.
To facilitate the program, the City would place a portal on their website for citizens:
• Citizens log on to portal on city website
• Select their preferred rate and term
• Citizen sets up account with provider, provider bills citizen, provides customer service
• Portal updates as better options become available
Discover how this new program can help fund a better quality of life for your town and your citizenry. To find out more, click on the info link above.

Staff Report
NewsWest 9
BIG SPRING - Police are investigating after a man was shot in Big Spring.
According to Big Spring Police, 22-year-old Dijuan Ausbie of Big Spring was shot in the 800 block of Lorilla Street on Friday evening. According to authorities, Ausbie was shot three times, twice in the chest and once in the back.
Ausbie was transported to Scenic Mountain Medical Center and flown to a Lubbock hospital.
Ausbie's current condition is listed as stable.
An initial investigation revealed that numerous male subjects were involved in a fight when someone fired shots from a handgun and several 9MM casings were found at the scene.
Witnesses are currently not talking with police. However, one witness told our photographer on the scene that she heard a total of eight shots, four shots from one end of Lorilla Street and four shots from the other end of Lorilla Street. The witness then looked out her window and saw a large man laying on the ground and people scattering across the area.
No arrests have been made yet and no motive has been established.
It is unclear if the shooting was gang related.

Lemon-cumin chicken with mint and spinach pesto
What makes this pesto different is that I use walnuts instead of pine nuts and spinach and mint in place of basil. This recipe makes eating raw spinach exciting--and, trust me, I'm not a spinach-salad kind of person! But I really enjoy it this way. The mint sweetens it and the salty Parmesan seals the deal. Cumin gives a spice to the chicken, which pairs so well with these flavors.
- 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 tbsp lemon zest
- 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tbsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
- 4 small boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
- 1 1/2 packed cups fresh mint leaves
- 1 packed cup baby spinach leaves
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan
- 1/3 cup walnuts, toasted
- 1 garlic clove
- 2 tsp fresh lemon juice
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt
- 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
- 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- Cooking spray
1. For the chicken, whisk together the oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, garlic, cumin, salt, and red pepper flakes in a glass baking dish. Add the chicken and coat with the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hr or overnight.
2. For the pesto, blend the mint, spinach, cheese, walnuts, garlic, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a food processor until chunky. With the machine running, slowly add the olive oil and process until smooth; set aside.
3. Heat a grill pan or outdoor grill to medium high. Remove the chicken from the marinade, discarding any excess. Grill chicken until cooked through, 4 to 5 min per side. Serve chicken with the pesto.

DELL XPS11 Australian Pricing - Almost double US pricing?
The Australian Dollar used to be pretty bad a decade a go compared to the US so you can justify spending double when it came to IT purchases.
However over the last few years exchange rates have seen the USD and AUD pretty level.
I cant understand why Dell prices the XPS 11 in Australia for $2,498 compared to 1,400 in US?
In the words of Pauline Hanson - Can someone at Dell "please explain"?
Maybe it's first day pricing and you get to pay extra to have a monogram emblazoned on the cover "I am a sucker".
Seriously $2,498 What are Dell thinking.

Drug traffickers in East Texas got a rude awakening this morning. Smith County S.W.A.T. teams executed seventy-three warrants just as the sun was coming up.
The arrests were made as a result of a three month investigation. Smith County undercover officers bought fifty-one thousand dollars worth of drugs to build the case against the suspects. Most of them now face felony drug charges.
Smith County District Attorney Matt Bingham said, "These are people that won't be selling drugs. Not today, tomorrow, and hopefully not for a long time. You get them out of the community, and that's the way you go after the drug community. You go after them one at a time."
During the course of the investigation, thirty-one other people were taken into custody.
Ninety-three county personnel were involved in the investigation which took 650 man-hours.

Albany- The countdown is on and the groceries stores are full. South Georgians are stocking up on food for the Christmas feasts. So what's on everyone's menu? Greens.
Many people agree greens are going to be on the table. We know the demand is high, but what about the supply.
Albert Law, Harvey's produce manager says they have a good supply of collard and mustard greens, but his supplier says he can't find any turnip greens.
But we found some. If you want turnip greens, go to the corner of Gordon and Slappey, Walter Henderson, or The Green Man has you covered.
"I've been growing them since 1991," he says.
Henderson specializes in greens and says now is the time to buy.
"We've been selling them to Florida and Alabama and places like that, and they come and get a truck load of them," explains Henderson.
He says everybody is heading to Georgia to buy greens, because they grow in rich soil which makes them taste even better.
So, if you haven't gotten them yet and you want the leafy vegetable on your Christmas plate you better get them while you can.
If you can't get any greens for you Christmas dinner, be sure to stock up for New Year's. Many people say they if you eat them on the January 1st they will bring you money.

Boolean Operators / Adjacency Operators
Use Boolean operators and adjacency operators to search with greater precision by including or excluding search terms.
- OR specifies that either one or the other of the search terms should be included. It is good to use for synonyms, and usually increases search results.
- Example: "cancer OR neoplasms" retrieves pages that contain either of these terms.
- AND specifics that both terms must be included. It usually narrows your search results.
- Example: "cancer AND treatment" retrieves documents that contain both terms.
- NOT excludes terms.
- Example: "cancer AND NOT astrology" will retrieve articles about cancer but exclude those about the astrological sign.
- NEAR specifies that terms be close to each other. The number of words allowed between the terms varies in different engines.
- Example: "cancer NEAR lung" would find "lung cancer" or "cancer of the lung"
These Boolean operators and adjacency operators can be combined:
- Example: "(cancer OR neoplasm) NEAR lung"

Protesters rally against Alexandra Hospital proposals
A rally and march is under way against proposals which protesters say could see the Alexandra Hospital in Redditch closed or lose services like A&E and maternity. Around 500 members of the 'Save the Alex' campaign are marching from the Town Hall.
Worcestershire NHS Trust has published six options to save £50 million and reduce its estimated £200 million deficit, which could involve reducing services at several sites in the county.
Campaigners argue that Redditch has a growing elderly population and a large youth population, with high levels of deprivation and youth unemployment. They say there should be more investment in local services, more care at home and in the community as well as A&E facilities at the Alexandra Hospital.
– NHS Worcestershire spokesman
"We want as many people as possible to know about the review of health services in Worcestershire. And it is only right that people should express their views. We are focused on preparing for a full consultation with the people of Worcestershire which we aim to begin in November and will run for three months. All views expressed so far, including by campaigners, correspondence and at our seven public meetings will be taken in to account before any final decisions are made."

Officials warn that the widest drought to grip the U.S. in decades is getting worse and shows no signs of getting better. Local farmers say the dry conditions are making it hard for them to grow their crops and feed their livestock which, in turn, will cost you more at the grocery store.Farmer Larry Grier said that the lack of rain has impacted everything. His watermelons are half the size as usual and his pea crop didn't produce as much either, raising the price for customers like Ruth Bettis."I went to the grocery store today and I could tell that they have gone up," said Bettis.The U.S. Department of Agriculture says we'll really feel the biggest impact from the drought a year from now, though local farmers say it's already started. Last year, a basket of peaches was $7. This year it's $10. And Georgia farmers expect prices could rise another 20 to 30 percent."Since I'm retired and don't work anymore, it does affect me. Everything going up affects me now," said Bettis. Farmer James Combs says it's not just about supply and demand. When there's not enough rain, he has to run an irrigation system from 8 a.m. until midnight."We spend about $400 worth of diesel in one week," said Combs. "We can't get enough water on our crops."While it seems like it's rained a lot recently, farmers -- especially in south Georgia -- say the dry winter really hurt them.
Firefighters are calling a man a hero after he helped save a family from a burning home in DeKalb County.

Rated 4 out of 5 by 717 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Chucrew Dream Vacation We stayed in room 1236 (deluxe oceanfront) the week of 11/15-11/22/13. Our first encounter of the hotel was with the valet staff, who were welcoming and friendly. Upon checking in we learned that because of our SPG Gold status we would be upgraded from partial ocean view to deluxe ocean view. The welcome also included great restaurant tips for the evening and an aloha and smile. Our room was lovely, but became even more amazing when we opened the doors to the lanai. A perfect, unspoiled and private beach view!! As this was our 15th anniversary celebration, we were also surprised with complimentary champagne. Honestly, this hotel gave us the best SPG recognition we have ever had in over 4 yrs (and SPG Amex) of membership. We also got free valet parking for the week and 10% off at the hotel restaurants. The property was clean, open, breezy and easy to enjoy from every space. The gardens, beaches, pools and hot tubs were immaculate. Everything felt relaxed and lovely. We met with Suzanne the concierge who made great suggestions. The hotel activity desk did a superb job in booking us for excursions, and we got a AAA discount. We felt right at home even on day one and it was hard to leave. Would recommend this hotel for a true Kauai experience full of beauty and relaxation. November 29, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by KK2013 Great location The hotel is an excellent choice in Kauai mainly for location. The beach adjacent to the hotel isn't crowded and swimmable. The shuttle service will take you to a variety of locations. The downside: The staff is very inconsistent and treats you as if you're inconveniencing them. I called prior to arriving at the hotel for information and when I got there the information I was given was untrue. One manager told me one thing and then another changed the policy. The gym was closed for remodeling which will be nice when it's done but it was disappointing to find out after I arrived. They moved some of the equipment to the stairs but no free weights and very very limited. When I asked the front desk she handed me the standard piece of paper saying it was closed. I only knew because I asked. The reviews about the walls being thin are VERY true. I read the reviews prior to my first stay and thought it was exaggerated but it's true. This was my second stay there and I found the noise more annoying than the first. You can hear every conversation in the surrounding rooms and every time a neighbor opens their balcony door it sounds like thunder. If you can get a good rate it's tough to beat the location but by no means is this a 5 star hotel and it's most seen in the service. August 30, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by TO14 The Good News and Bad News our first night was spent in the "garden rooms". These rooms are OLD; walls are paper thin; garden and pool are lovely in this section. We were able to upgrade to an ocean front which was lovely. However, on our last night, a pipe burst and flooded our room and we had to move in the middle of the night. No offer from management for points or a free night. Seemed very strange and disappointing. I would not recommend the garden rooms but would recommend the ocean front. Food service in the open air bar/coffee shop was very sub par as was the food. We found local places to eat. March 8, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Humber Excellent Property & Beach Location This was our first time visiting Kauai and we fell in love with Sheraton Kauai the moment we walked into the Front Desk. .. We stayed for 1 night and two full days but would have loved to stay longer! From the moment we checked-in till we checked out - our experience was one of the best we have had. Sissy at the Front Desk truly looked after us; she was not only efficient but also very understanding! We were upgraded to partial Garden and Sea View and a late checkout. Sincerely, we couldn't ask for more for our short stay! We were invited to the Social Hour and enjoyed the complimentary wine tasting for SPG members while mingling with other hotel guests. What a great way to meet other travellers from far and near! At a very short notice, we were also accommodated in the Wine Paring Dinner the same evening, the only evening we had on the island. We would like to mention in particular what an excellent hotel restaurant RumFire was/is. The food and the Californian wines to go with it were superb. Our experience was enhanced by our stay at Sheraton. We had a great time in Kauai exploring the island's beauty and the ocean! May 22, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Angela64 Staff was the best! The front desk staff (Sissy, in particular) was stellar. The valet staff, servers (Ashley at Rum Fire in particular), housekeeping, every person we met really, performed at the highest level with a smile. I am from Las Vegas, and I have very high standards for service. The service in Hawaii is usually poor in comparison. Not at this property. I was pleasantly surprised. July 1, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by LuckyBean A diamond waiting to be discovered This hotel has many excellent possibilities. Location is perfect. The beach and pool facilities are highly recommended. The pool staff were above average in service as well as the pool cafe service. Always smiling, attentive and helpful. But the food in all venues ,with the exception of the grab and go market lack flavor, presentation, and nothing memorable. The room had a wonderful awesome ocean view after we requested to be moved from a partial roof/ocean view. One day our room was never cleaned and after complaiming three times upon returning after 4:30, was then handled. We waited in the bar to be called-we think we should had been comped the drinks we never planned to order. WiFi was sporadic and often useless. It was as if we were dealing with dial up. The hotel needs a little TLC and focus-its a diamond in the rough compared to other Sheratons we've stayed at and to others in the area. Great sized room - better than average, but felt a little tired. The bed was very restful, comfortable and liked the draperies. But the rest of decor seemed dated. Rug was buckled and tub seemed somewhat stained…I wanted to go buy cleaner and see if I could get it white. Bell service, maintenance also were pleasant and responsive. Front desk team seemed to be going thru motions with check in. Surprised that old tennis shoes were being worn with long dresses-recgnize comfort important but gives a lackluster impression and attitude towards work. Even nurses wear nicer shoes and are on their feet all day. I really wanted to like the property overall because I see the potential-it just hasn't been realized by management or perhaps they have gotten too comfortable. In fact, never noticed any management out and about…fyi we travel extensively and was in hotel management for some years, so we are very selective with our hotels and have expectations per each level. This one wants to be a luxury resort but its just missing…felt a little generic and shouldn't. July 8, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by Bryan2013 The good and the disappointing Great hotel location and the view of the Deluxe Ocean View Room was really nice. We were on the fourth floor overlooking the pool and the ocean. It was extremely nice sitting on the balcony. This was our third stay at this hotel and we were last there a couple years ago during the pool construction. The pool area came out very nice but we were not overly impressed with the restaurant Lava, we thought they did a much better job with the breakfast buffet during the construction and before than they did this time. Did not get a chance to try Rum Fire the new restaurant. When we got to our room after check-in the tub was dirty and stained and the carpet was buckled in a couple locations, a real safety issue. Our check in time was very late and we just went to bed. The next day we shared our experience at the front desk. They sent someone to the room and the tub was cleaned which was acceptable when they were done. They were not able to do maintenance on the carpet and they offered to change us to another room. We loved the view and decided to stay where we were and live with the carpet. This room should have been taken out of use and maintenance should have fixed this issue long before we were given the room. All indications were the room was used again the carpet still has not been fixed. The real disappointment was the tennis court, wow, this should no longer be listed as an amenity and should be considered a hazard. There are big cracks in the courts and weeds growing up and not small weeds. They were a joke and not maintained at all. They were playable a couple years ago and it is as if they have ignored them. We even came back from dinner one night and the lights were on all three courts. I can not image why they were on, no one was on them and they are not usable. They were so bad I actually took pictures, which I am sorry I can not add to the review. This is a tough review for us since we really like the location of the hotel but had some definite disappointments on this trip. Even with the improvements they made to the pool area they let other aspects of the hotel be neglected. I could still recommend the hotel but we will probably try a new location on our next stay. July 30, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by sew072113 not worth the rate While this hotel does have a nice location on the beach, that is about it. We pulled up and the valet was a complete space cadet and unable to answer very basic questions. We waited in line to check in and then we headed to our room. The original room we booked was so far from the beach, we could have been in New Mexico and not have known the difference. It seems to me that the property was once two different hotels and the Sheraton bought both properties. The buildings in the back (our original room) do not match and there is another lobby looking area. That room was dated, and very plain. We called down and asked if any rooms were available in the buildings facing the ocean. There were, for a upgrade fee, and we moved. I would not have booked the original room if I would have known how far and dated it was going to be. The new room had a much better view, but was still dated. We were told with our SPG wristbands we would get a discount on food at the restaurants, never happened. I thought it might be taken off at the end; didn't happen. We never got a newspaper delivered to our door. You have to wait in LONG line daily to get pool towels and then wait in the same LONG line to return them, or else get charged $10 per towel! Really?! I highly doubt people stealing dingy beach towels is that big of a problem. The least they could do would be have a separate line for towels instead of all beach activities in one line. The pool was filled with sand because the area to shower off from the ocean consists of a hose in the sand... not cement pad, no drain, no rubber mat, not even a sprayer on the hose. Just a hose. If you want drinks or food at the pool, you need to just go get it yourself. The servers are terrible and walk around aimlessly, like they don't want to do their job. We learned this the hard way. Also, there is a $30 resort fee daily.... for what?! The wifi is unusable it is so slow and the dingy pool towels that you have to wait in a 10 minute line to get? We had stayed on the north shore of the island the first part of the week and wish we would have stayed. I could have done with out the Sheraton on my honeymoon. It is definitely not worth the money after the upgrade fee to be by the ocean. You can pay just a little more and have outstanding service elsewhere. August 1, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by beelover A relaxing Trip! Hotel Pros: - Nice facility with lots of outdoor areas to sit - Most Excellent Beach for swimming - Quiet rooms, very little noise from neighbors - Comfy beds with nice pillows - Very friendly staff - Nice garden setting with fish ponds - Hotel uses environmentally friendly containers/forks etc. for serving outdoor food&drink. Very cool! Hotel Cons: - Our Garden View room with 2 double beds felt crammed, awkward TV console/dresser combo took lots of space. - Not enough lounge chairs out by the pool/beach. - Not enough shade options available! The hotel could easily add 10 umbrellas to their poolside furniture. - Resort fee of $30/day??? For amenities that should be included in the room fee? Come on you guys, that's cheesy! February 11, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by DrJaneM Hotel is our favorite for family vacation The Sheraton Kauai Resort has become a yearly trip for our family. Our room is always immaculate and very clean. The staff at the breakfast buffet are wonderful and very inviting people. Food is wonderful too. Very responsive management and staff. We are planning to spend more time later this year at this Sheraton because we feel so at home here. Beautiful place and wonderful and caring employees. June 29, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by Stephen1959 Kauai Sheraton Stay I was very displeased with the air conditioning in our room. We made three formal complaints and they sent the maint. man each time but the a/c would not cool the room very well even at night. Very hard to sleep in a hot room. After the third complaint the manager Laura did offer us another Garden View room and we checked it out and it was no cooler than our room. So we then asked for a fan, but was still not very cool. I really believe the problem is the outdated a/c units on the wall can not provide the cooling the room really needs. Very nice hotel to have below par a/c. August 15, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by kranny Our Stay Great Hotel. I wasn't impressed with the $30/day "Resort Fee" that I didn't know about until we checked in. If I pay $ 270 a night to stay somewhere I would expect that if I chose to play tennis it would be covered under the cost of staying at a hotel. Pretty deceptive way to make a few extra bucks. Especially when the services it supposedly covered we didn't even use. My only other comment would be regarding the fitness facility. Take some of that resort fee money and add / upgrade your equipment. The place was packed and not enough cardio equipment to go around. Not to mention it was all rusting and old. I would have expected more . Otherwise the Sheraton was beuatiful and we had an unbelievable vacaton there. February 4, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by spgreviewer Overall really good, but bathroom could be updated The hotel is great for the most part. The bathrooms could use some updating. Also, the single light in the bathroom was very dim. The bed was comfortable, but one of the pillows was much harder than the other 3 provided (I didn't realize this until the next morning), and I woke up with very bad neck and back pain. The next few nights I used the other pillows without a problem. Also, I liked that we had Starbucks coffee provided in each room. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and we would stay here again. June 24, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by kissycuddles In Love With This Hotel From the beginning at check in we had a great front desk agent who was very nice and catering. Our room was amazing Deluxe Ocean Front. Just in love with the spaciousness of the room and view. Well worth the money and I recommend getting this room. We ate at Lavas and the food was good and our waitress was great. The valet and bell people were catering. I enjoyed the café next to the lobby. They have a great banana bread. So good I bought some before I left the hotel. Overall my view of this hotel was 5 stars for it's cleanliness of room, view, property and people that work there. So Happy that I'm staying in June for my daughters bday. Can't wait! May 20, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by MFlores79 Really bad wifi Stayed at the Sheraton for three days (on business). First day, wi-fi was not working. Called tech support and they said they would escalate the issue to network engineers. Problem still not solved. Next day, I called tech support again -- problem still not solved. Second day afternoon, I believe the hotel manager finally reached out and said they would bring a router to my room -- shouldn't this have been done in the first place?? I checked the wifi in the area and there were three other "belkin" routers connected. A sign that others were also having the same issue. As someone who needed connection to run a business, I was not impressed and will Sheraton Kauai likely won't be the top of my list when visiting Kauai again. September 14, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by NSullivan1027 We had an amazing honeymoon Thank you so much to the Sheraton for allowing us to have an amazing, relaxing honeymoon. The plumeria suite was breathtaking! July 2, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by tusselus Loved this place!!! Me and my husband stayed here as a part of our honeymoon, and we both loved it! We had been traveling around the states for 5 weeks, and this was the prefect end of our vacation!! The rooms were big, clean and fresh. We had a room with partial ocean view, and loved to sit on the balcony watching the ocean. The staff was very nice and helpful!. At check-in we got a gift card for a bottle of champagne, as a celebration of our honeymoon. The location.... oh, my god! It can´t be better. No picture in the world can justify the beauty of this place! It is SO beautiful, it´s like you arrived in heaven! We live in Stockholm, Sweden, and even though we had to travel 30 hours to get to Kauai, we will definitely return to this paradise!! October 9, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by bobby61 ON the beach with great service and the ambiance of Kauai No other way to say it other than 'beautiful'. On the beach with a landscaped pool only yards behind... plus another pool in a courtyard away from the beach area. Gorgeous setting with good, friendly service from people who enjoyed making our time there special. Concierge was very good at his job --- helped us make the most of our time on this island (known for its lush beauty and contrasts of incredible landscapes ... all with the ambiance of enjoying a 'slow & slower' pace). So many activities available, but we were there to relax and soak in the scenic beauty --- from the ocean fronts to the canyons, waterfalls, and lush green flora and fauna. Room options from direct ocean view to partial ocean view (ours), to garden views. June 27, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by 2Eudys Exceeded Expectations! We were staying on the north end of the island, but had traveled to the south end for a day of hiking in Waimea Canyon. Rather than driving all the way back, we used points to spend the night at the Sheraton. WOW!! Had we known it was such a nice facility, we would have stayed more nights! Next trip to Kauai, we will plan to spend extra days at this hotel! June 27, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Suelou Beautiful Views...Amazing Staff We were returning to Kauai after many years of just using our Westin Timeshare in Maui. After a busy family vacation with the six grandchildren, we wanted to celebrate our 49th anniversary on the beautiful island of Kauai. The Sheraton staff welcomed us with a beautiful upgrade to an ocean front room, and sent us a bottle of champagne to start off the celebration of our marriage milestone! From the friendly valets at the front, to the gorgeous views of our room, we cannot say enough about the treatment we received at this particular Sheraton. September 20, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Danny113 Good place for a relaxing vacation All that you hear is the waves of the Ocean which will put you to sleep. Good bar location with great service - another relaxing place. June 30, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by richross Great Property Room View was superb. Food at Rum Fire was five star Fitness Room was perfect Please consider more drawers for clothing in the room. There was plenty of space for more, however we only had 3 drawers, not adequate. I also want to mention my suggestion for all hotels (and several have complied) that your typical customer is at least 2 people, so why only one luggage rack in each room when there will be at least 2 suitcases? I believe most people would be appreciative of 2 luggage racks in their room. June 20, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by Krizzy622 Improvements Needed Our personal experience with this Sheraton was not a good one. We came back to our room one aft noon to find our door was left open. Was woken up most mornings by guests moving balcony furniture above us. The hallway echoed badly. Housekeeping starts very early in the morning. By 8 am they are knocking on doors yelling housekeeping. Our bellman informed us that 2 bottles of water were included in the sort fee and yet every day we had to call and ask for the bottles because housekeeping never re supplied them. We would not stay here again. September 26, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by anniversary300 A mixed bag Our room was not ready on check in and then late in the afternoon we got a call and were taken to a room with two double beds instead of a king. We had to wait until the next day and be available for them to move us which basically wasted a day. The staff was good about trying to help once the error was discovered. Asked for a cabana since we had to stay on property until we moved but they were sold out. I forgot something in my car. the valet was rude rude rude rude he made me walk out to my car at least a block away without any guidance and then was rude when I asked for help. I complained to the manager who sent wine and strawberries to me. The beach if calm is good for swimming if not calm go to Poipou short drive away. The food was good but a bit pricey. Overall the service was excellent from most of the folks there. Once we got into our fourth floor room with king bed with beach view we were more than happy. The pool made my skin break out it has a lot of chemicals which was too bad since the beach was so rough. It is a good hotel but nothing compared to the Maui Sheraton June 29, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by scubawife Needs Work I must say that we were rather disappointed with this Sheraton. Pool area very crowded, small for hotel size, not enough shade, umbrellas. The fitness center was lacking , treadmills out of order, no one at the front desk knew anything, when would be fixed. Broken for 3 days, then just GONE The Rum Fire Restaurant service was abysmal. My husband's main course was brought out 10 minutes before mine. His dinner included dessert and the waiter just brought it out, never asked me if I wanted to order anything, I had to ask for it when my husband was served. My food was mediocre but my sorbet dessert was good. Even the turn down service was disappointing, if there are 2 people in the room, why leave just ONE chocolate? The valets were great and friendly June 19, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by sgrdn3 Still a great spot for fun This was our fourth stay but we had not been for 8 years. It is the very best location on Poipu beach. There were some nice improvements made in the remodel and the rooms (we had two in our family group) were tastefully decorated, spotless and with beautiful views. The front desk, housekeeping and food service staffs are all excellent. The only slight disappointment was that the main restaurant (the only dinner restaurant) has a very limited menu so we only ate one meal (breakfast) which was delicious but we need more choice for dinner. January 1, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Hotelbummer13 Absolutely Amazing From the minute we arrived, we never felt so appreciative of a hotel stay. We were there for our honeymoon and it was supremely satisfying. The views were breathtaking. The staff amazingly helpful and attentive, especially with recommending other places to visit and things to do on the island. Rum Fire had tasty food and good drinks at the pool. Plus the perks of being a gold spg member were phenomenal along with rhe extra attention we received thanks to being on honeymoon. We fully intend to stay here again and never wanted to leave! September 10, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by mgsgk2013 Awesome Hotel, Staff & Location Perfect location, incredible view, beautiful grounds, extremely relaxing, the hospitality of the staff was incredible, Betty at the front desk made our trip; she is amazing (thank you Betty). Our room was quiet and very clean (we couldn't have asked for a better room). The hotel, the staff and the view from our ocean view room exceeded our expectations. We had an awesome time at the Sheraton Kauai Resort and words can't describe how much we enjoyed the stay. We can't wait to return and we would highly recommend this hotel to anyone. August 8, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Ralph43 Great Resort on Poipu Our ocean front room was very nice and the view was excellent. Very attentive and courteous staff at all levels. Cabanas on the beach are a nice touch. We enjoyed our stay very much. Only complaint was some of the food on the breakfast buffet (eggs, sausage) was not very warm. Menu orders were fine.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Geo67 Overall Experience Very Good This Sheraton Hotel is located in a terrific spot near Poipu Beach on Kauai. The pool area is located right behind the beach and was kept in immaculate condition daily. Great friendly service was the rule throughout the hotel for the entire week we were there. We heard virtually no complaints from other guests and noticed a high level of smiles in general. The staff was fantastic and friendly. The main restaurant, Red Rum was excellent, and Lava at the pool was very good as well. We would recommend this Sheraton highly. We noted many families were booked during our stay, so if you object to the normal noise of children in the pool area be advised. However, for overall service and experience in Hawaii this was a very good value. Would go back in a heartbeat. June 15, 2014

Steam Train
The steam train came past just as I was arriving home from my morning run yesterday. It is great that there are still people enthuastic about keeping little pieces of the age of steam alive. If you want to go for a ride, chat to Atlantic Rail.
Krakow Castle
One of the courtyards at Krakow Castle (Wawel Castle). This is almost the only photograph that I managed to take of the castle since they would not let me shoot anywhere inside the buildings (and my camera does not even have a flash!). While the castle was interesting, it felt like the last outpost of communism. Everything was regulated as to where you can go, when you can go, how long you could be there etc. It was not the most tourist-friendly experience that I have ever had.

Several are homeless after a fire ripped through a west Lubbock apartment complex around 9:15 Thursday night.
Eight units were damaged at the Hunter's Way apartment complex at 5550 56th street, according to the Lubbock Red Cross.
Walt Buyea said he had the lights off to watch the lightning when it struck too close to home.
"We heard a pop," he said.
Then he and Dawn Buyea smelled smoke.
"We finally went in the laundry room and opened the door," Walt continued. "You could see fire coming from behind the washer and dryer."
Dawn said they wasted no time getting out.
"It literally took about two minutes from the time we saw the flames that the apartment was actually filled with smoke," she said.
Neighbors rushed to help once they saw flames.
"We started knocking on everybody's door making sure everybody was out," Talia Raines said.
Raines said they did wake a few people up, but everyone made it out.
"It was scary. We were worried that it would hit the houses and some people were inside," said Lyra Raines.
Firefighters from across the Hub City were brought in to battle the flames.
The rain we so desperately needed came with intense lightning. KCBD NewsChannel 11's lightning tracker showed around 1,000 strikes in a five minute period.
It was those elements that made it increasingly difficult for responders whose resources were already exhausted.
"We've been down to zero units available. We've called back three mutual aid departments," said Lubbock Deputy Fire Marshal Robert Loveless.
There were no reports of any injuries to the tenants. Loveless said one firefighter was treated for a minor injury, possibly an ankle sprain.
After the fire was put out, and the smoke lingered, people living there realized some of their memories may be lost.
"Wedding rings were left in there. Clothes, pictures, some of the things you can get back," Walt continued. "Furniture and TVs you can replace, but some of the other things- you can't really replace them."
The Lubbock Red Cross and Salvation Army responded to help victims and fire crews. We'll continue to bring you all the latest updates as they become available.

Steady rain showers delayed much of the day's events and limited the Tigers to competing in just five events.
The 4x100-meter relay team got the Tigers off to a strong start by posting the sixth-best time of 44.82 seconds to advance to the finals. The team of juniors Ashley Cruder and Nivea Smith and seniors Sheniqua Ferguson and Joanna Atkins will run in the finals on Friday afternoon.
"We had some rain delays today that put us behind schedule, but the main thing about today was that we had the 4x100-meter relay team that ran very well," head coach Ralph Spry said. "That's was what we came here to do was get ourselves in a position to run in the finals which is the Championship of America. We are off to a good start though."
Freshman Niklas Buhner also competed in the men's 3000m Steeplechase on Thursday. He placed 11th with a time of 9:11.28.
On the women's side, senior Stephanie Barnes competed in the women's 3000m Steeplechase where she finished 12th recording a time of 10:37.76.
Auburn had the first place finishes in both the men's and women's 10,000m championship. Senior Holly Knight competed for the women finishing with a time of 34:10.98. For the men, junior Ben Cheruiyot recorded a time of 29:18.58.
The Tigers will continue action at the Penn Relays on Friday and Saturday.

Do you all remember the caption contests that we had fun with earlier in the season? Sure you do...well, I think it's finally safe to resume the series. I gotta come clean with you all and admit that I do believe that the caption contests had something to do with the mid-season skid that the Giants suffered. I wanted to resume the series after each win the team delivered down the stretch but that would have derailed the Super Bowl run and it would have been all YOUR fault! So, I think it's safe to have some fun with the caption contests again.
Here we go...Now, for some reason, I can't tell which type of photo would be best for a caption contest so I have two photos for this one.

1. We have been harness-free for a week. I've been meaning to create a blog post all week, but we've had data issues with our phones and I've had issues handling the computer. It's been a wild week. But we've been able to change bebe diapers about 4 times faster than before, and AnnieMer is looking about twice as long as she did. Praise God, from whom all blessings flow!
2 and 3. These boys. They had footy-pajamas-and-wild-hats day. And Aiden was Luigi, but he was shrinkeded, and it'll be okay because he'll get taller someday. This picture is of a hat trade. It was a little bit violent. They lurved every minute of it.
4. This girl. I let her "floss her teeth" (tried to keep her from swallowing floss) while I braided her hair. She left the braids in for HOURS. It was definitely a record for us. She grew up the past couple of weeks. And she is magical.
5. You can see a note I posted on Instagram at this link – I've got a chance to order better notebooks for the writenow prayer journaling kits at TendingBabylon, without having to up the kit price by $10. But it's just good for couple of days, so I need an $8 deposit by Monday, December 2, 2012 at 10pm. Aaaannnddd I need to get orders for 10 of them. (It was 20 by Saturday, until I read the email better. I've got an abscessed tooth and I'm a crazy person.)

Always on time
When you get there, you get there. Therefore the bush taxi always arrives on time! In this instance, we didn't have a jack to fix our flat tire. So we all got out and rocked the bus back and forth until someone was able to wedge a large rock underneath the vehicle so we could fix the flat. We arrived on time to our destination nearly 4 hours later than expected!

Island of Lemurs
This little boy was so enthusiastic to have his picture taken, and he had the perfect background! The natural beauty of this little island off the northern coast of Madagascar was truly one of a kind!
During a 4-H Clubs Achievement Day event in Golden Grove, St. Ann, Jamaica, these young students came and started dancing to the music. All the young students were instantly attracted to the older boys and sat mesmerized by their simple side steps.

I stole this idea (and some of the songs) from this post over at McCovey Chronicles, SBN's San Francisco Giants blog.
There are some great cover versions of songs out there. Some of them are even arguably better the original.
Here a few that I think fall into that category:
Hurt: Johnny Cash>Nine Inch Nails
Big Yellow Taxi: Counting Crows>Joni Mitchell
All Along the Watchtower: Jimi Hendrix>Bob Dylan
Speaking of Dylan, there are those who will say that because of his voice, any of his songs is better as a cover than the original. I don't fall into that category, but there certainly are some great covers of his songs, like Knocking on Heaven's door-- which do you think is best?
Bob Dylan... Warren Zevon.... Guns n' Roses... Wyclef Jean ....... Avril Lavigne
That has to be one of the most covered songs of all time, though I think I heard "Yesterday" by the Beatles is #1 in that category.
So, I'll throw it out to you: which cover versions are better than the original?
Acceptable alternatives:
* Covers you just think are awesome, but aren't necessarily better than the original (for example, Landslide: Smashing Pumpkins (<,=,>?) Fleetwood Mac)
* Covers that are so bad they just make you angry and ruin the original (nominees might include Smooth Criminal: Alien Ant Farm <<<<<< Michael Jackson and Behind Blue Eyes: Limp Bizkit <<<<<< The Who)
Finally, I just the other day stumbled upon a cover a really liked of a recent song:
Shankill Butchers: Sarah Jarosz >? The Decemberists
That last comment probably belongs up at the top, but whatevs.
On to the poll!!

Fellini, who frequently visualized his characters in cartoons before casting actors, told me he had wanted Mastroianni for La Dolce Vita from the start. "But Marcello wanted a script. I gave him a thick manuscript, every page blank except the first. On it was a picture I had drawn, showing his character as I saw him. Mastroianni was alone in a little boat in the middle of the ocean with a prick that reached all the way down to the bottom of the ocean, and there were beautiful lady sea sirens swimming all around it. Marcello looked at the picture and said, 'It's an interesting part. I'll do it.' " (x)

"When I think of the first time we met, when he called me for La dolce vita, I went to meet him in Fregene. He was at the beach under an umbrella and he said immediately, 'The producer, De Laurentiis, would like Paul Newman for this movie, but Paul Newman is too important, too extraordinary. I need an ordinary face.' Maybe there was a little pleasure in hurting me, I don't know, but in any case, he didn't hurt me at all because I never considered myself an extraordinary face or character, so everything went well." — Marcello Mastroianni on Federico Fellini

NEWCASTLE United owner Mike Ashley's sportswear empire has snapped up almost five per cent of shares in department store Debenhams.
Sports Direct International said the stock market purchase – worth about £46m – would allow the companies to consider ways to work together.
Debenhams, which has a store in Waterloo Square, South Shields, and issued a profits warning on New Year's Eve after poor Christmas trading, said it was open-minded about the offer of exploring operational opportunities in order to improve its performance.
As well as 409 stores in the UK, Sports Direct has a portfolio of 28 internationally-recognised sports, fashion and lifestyle brands including Dunlop, Slazenger, Everlast, Lonsdale and Karrimor.
Mr Ashley set up the business after leaving school in 1982 and was the sole owner until a stock market listing in March 2007, which netted him £929m.
The company, which has purchased 56.8 million shares in Debenhams, has a history of buying strategic stakes in other retailers, most recently JJB Sports.
The firm said: "This acquisition of shares has taken place without the prior knowledge of the Debenhams board of directors, but Sports Direct has communicated to Debenhams' board its desire to work together and its intention to be a supportive shareholder."
Debenhams has 240 stores in 29 countries – 150 in the UK – and has a top five market share in womenswear and menswear and a top 10 share in the market for childrenswear.
The company said: "Debenhams notes that Sports Direct intends to be a supportive shareholder and that it wishes to explore options at an operational level to work together.
"Debenhams is open-minded with regard to exploring operational opportunities to improve its performance."

Many Muslims in the U.S., Canada and Europe are supportive of the 15,000 Al-Qaeda linked fighters in Syria who are part of the 100,000 anti-Assad rebels. It's because of the strong Islamic component of the anti-Assad forces in Syria that the rest of the world is reluctant to help them out - unlike in Libya which was more secular (USA Today). But young radicals - closet terrorists? - are going to Syria to help out. The fear is that in Syria, they will become more radicalized and "return to the U.S. as battle-hardened security risks."
A report in the Huffington Post says that:
This year, at least three Americans have been charged with planning to fight beside Jabhat al-Nusrah - a radical Islamic organization that the U.S. considers a foreign terrorist group - against Assad. The most recent case involves a Pakistan-born North Carolina man arrested on his way to Lebanon.
At a Senate homeland security committee hearing this month, Sen. Thomas Carper, D-Del., said: "We know that American citizens as well as Canadian and European nationals have taken up arms in Syria, in Yemen and in Somalia. The threat that these individuals could return home to carry out attacks is real and troubling."
The most recent arrest is of Basit Sheikh, 29 at the Raleigh-Durham International Airport on charges he was on his way to join Al-Qaeda group Jabhat al-Nusrah. Sheikh is charged with planning to assist a group the State Department has declared a terrorist organization.
Huffington Post also reported:
Current FBI Director James Comey (photo right) said this month that he worried about Syria becoming a repeat of Afghanistan in the 1980s, after the Soviet invasion, with foreign fighters attracted there to train.
A federal magistrate ruled that Sheikh should be detained until his trial because there was clear evidence that he wouldn't appear if released on bond and that there was a "serious risk" to the community if he were freed. Basit Sheikh's arraignment is scheduled for January. He could face up to 15 years in prison and a $250,000 fine if convicted.
Defending against Muslim terrorists is an ongoing battle. It doesn't help that many Muslim Imams still preach intolerance of infidels and hatred of Jews - but then they are just interpreting their Qur'an literally - just like fundamentalist Christians interpret their holy book literally. The difference is that Christians are ignoring some sections of the bible (like those that allow slavery and killing gays) while fundamentalist Muslims ignore less of theirs.
