Rated 3 out of 5 by Shayne Great Location, Nice Room, Just Poor Service Everything was great with the exception of the front desk staff. In particular one person was exceedingly rude and condescending to questions and requests. I'd recommend the hotel, just don't expect much from the front desk. August 19, 2014

Rated 4 out of 5 by TFITZ My local favorite let me down. I often stay in this hotel on business. Last week I checked in around midnight and a the front desk attendant stated the hotel would be without hot water until 6:00am the following morning. This was a bit inconvenient, but I waited until 7:00a to try and shower. We still had no hot water. I eventually had to give up and endure the pain of an ice-cold shower so that I could go to work. The hotel staff never acknowledged that they failed to provide hot water at a reasonable time, blaming it on the city. The rest of the week was a normal quality stay. I was just surprised regarding the hotel staff's attitude regarding the pain of having to shower with ice water. May 26, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by Wlfsbrg01 There are better options I was in New York for five nights for a conference at the Sheraton Times Square so it made sense for me to get my room in the same facility. After five nights of terrible sleep, I will not be returning. To keep things simple, I will just highlight some key issues. Everything not mentioned here was fine. SPG Recognition: I am an SPG Gold member, as I travel quite a bit. I booked my room two months in advance, requesting a high floor and a quiet room. Out of the 50 floors available, I was placed on the 10th floor, directly in front of the ice machine and elevators. I spent five nights hearing intoxicated teenagers get ice and large groups of people get on and off the elevators. The 40 floors above me were entirely booked two months in advance? Obviously no room upgrade was available, but I would at least expect such easy requests to be honored. The check-in was also very unsatisfactory, with one person at the SPG Gold/Platinum desk and multiple at the standard check-in desk. Unfortunately, if you happen to be SPG Gold or Platinum, the standard check-in staff will not assist you - they just keep calling regular guests, while you wait in line for your single assigned staff member to check you in. It defeats the entire purpose of priority check-in. Bedding/Sleep Quality: Typically I do not comment on the bed, as it is very subjective. However, in this case, I will say that this bed had clearly reached the end of its useful life. It caved in towards the middle and was extremely uncomfortable. This alone is enough to ruin a hotel for me. Internet: Internet is included in the price, and I suppose the logic is that if they give it to you for free, you shouldn't complain. The problem is, I would much rather pay for it (or receive it as my SPG gift) and actually have a useful service than receive what they offered for free. It was just enough to open e-mails if I was lucky. Good luck trying to check facebook - the internet simply cannot handle loading pictures. I tried a brand new Sony Vaio laptop, an iPad, a Blackberry Q10 and an iPhone - and all of these devices normally work perfectly. I normally have great experiences with Starwood properties (hence my regular stays there), but this appears to be an exception to the norm. If you need to be in Times Square and must go Starwood, pay the premium and go to the Westin Times Square (as I have done in the past - a truly fantastic property) - or look for something entirely different.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Cricket3o3 This hotel met all my needs, A+ for cusotmer service! I was pleasantly surprised with this hotel. It was clean, updated, great work out area and most importantly the staff was excellent. Our cleaning lady Mrs. Enriqueta Newman was the epitome of GREAT customer service!! She assisted us while we were at the hotel and took care of our requests immediately. The room was clean, it was set up efficiently and the complimentry Starbucks coffee and Earl Grey tea was a PLUS! We liked the location near Radio City Music hall which is right around the corner and Times Square which is a few blocks down the street. Easy walk to subway/train/bus transportation and/or if you prefer a cab there were tons of them. The hotel lobby and bar were quite nice. Room service was quick, approximately 30 minutes to arrive (they met the time provided to us when we ordered) and the food was excellent; we arrived late and ordered a cheesburger, Reuben, salad and Calamari ...it arrived hot not cold!! In addition, I had an opportunity to meet the manager while checking out, she was informative, professional and happily took my commendation for the associate that checked us in. He was very informative and helpful with all of our questions. He informed us of all the hotels amenities as well as recommendations for site seeing. We loved our stay at this hotel and will most definitiely return and/or recommend it to my family or friends! Good job Sheraton staff! February 25, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by Lawrence46 Great location, poor service We visited NYC for a three day weekend before Christmas. The positives: the room was updated, clean and nice. Housekeeping service was prompt and courteous. The negatives (and what would keep me from staying here again): Check in was a disaster. We arrived at 3pm on a Friday and the line to check in snaked around the lobby with only 3-4 cashiers. We waited 20 minutes, and the line barely moved, so we decided to check our bags and come back later. We were charged $4.00 per bag to check our luggage. Reprehensible! When we returned to check in 2 hours later, we waited 40 minutes. At the same time, there was a private party waiting in a line to be let into the conference room and the line blocked the access to baggage check. There were 4 employees in the baggage check area at the time we retrieved our bags and not one offered to assist us with our bags to our room. Of course, a bell man was nowhere to be found. We had a similar experience at check out. We had a late flight, and I waited 25 minutes to check my bags and leave for the day. Upon returning, same thing. 20 minute wait to retrieve our bags, at $4.00 per bag. While I understand the hotel has a large amount of rooms, the welcome, check in and bag claim situation is unacceptable. More staff and better facilites to service guests could easily address an otherwise disappointing situation. December 26, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by Hondo Adequate plus I appreciate the new look of the property but find the hotel to be increasingly corporate and impersonal. The lobby is always crowded, noisy and busy (I guess that's good if you're the operator) and finding a place to sit in the bar area is nearly impossible. Squeezing the Link into the same area has made it even more congested so I always have appreciated having access to the 44th floor concierge lounge. Unfortunately, the remodeling of that space has made it far less appealing. That lounge feels cramped and has extremely poor layout for access to food. The loss of the long and more gracious entry leaves a bottleneck at the front door and chaos with even modest crowds. Thomas and Muhammad are the bright spots with their remarkable memory for guests and outstanding customer service. The furniture, though, is awful, especially the two seater tables under which feet don't fit. The rooms are fine...though as a Platinum, I haven't had a suite upgrade in years. I appreciated the welcoming email from a manager, but she had me incorrectly identified as a Gold SPG, not Platinum. So, overall, the property is 'functional', but with the loss of the unique 44th check in option, the degradation of the concierge lounge and the lobby mess, I'm inclined to finally move to another property (likely still Starwood) for my next NYC visit. December 14, 2011
Rated 4 out of 5 by Bgin The hotel is good With some improvements the hotel can be a great business Hotel it starts to be came a touristic hotel and the general attitude is for one time random visitor. Your hotel as five stars with Loyalty membership is one of few that charges for Wifi (your staff gave me a relief but it is ad hoc. Another big frustration was with the packages outsourcing company LL level that when I tell friends that for 5 days Sheraton is my address but no one called my room that I will come down, but gave it to the Outsourcing company that after-few hours asked me 20 $ for keeping value of less than 20$ the hotel shift manager understood me and gave me a discount to keep me happy but this is not a way to bypass the commitment to call the client first anf if he is not responding to tell that charges will be implied.

Rated 2 out of 5 by Jill55 Poor check in experience I've never had such a poor check in experience. As a Platinum member I've had easy experiences getting checked in quickly and with a high level of service. When I arrived at the hotel on Saturday at 8pm, the lobby was filled with guests waiting to check in. There were no front desk agents at the SPG preferred check in desk for at least 5 minutes. There were only a few agents working the regular check in line. And the service was extremely slow. There weren't any managers walking around the lobby to apologize to the guests for the delay or offer them water while they wait. Nothing. People had to ask the managers walking around what is going on and if they could get more front desk agents to help. When we finally got to the counter we were told that our room wasn't ready. At 8pm this is not acceptable. The good part was that they offered us a complimentary dinner to compensate for the room not being ready. This was a great perk. I went back to check in after a good meal at the burger bar, but then found out I had not been upgraded to a bigger room (every other Starwood hotel has upgraded me because of my Platinum status). It was probably because the hotel was so packed, but I just didn't feel like a VIP at that point. The room itself was tiny, and the bathroom smelled like someone had just used it. The shower was dripping all night. I won't be coming here again. August 22, 2012
Rated 2 out of 5 by DocLove Only good if you are paying a cheap rate This is a value hotel in NYC for the Starwood brand so if you don't get a rate cheap rate you will be very disappointed most likely I've stayed here many times when I needed a cheap alternative and most other hotels were too pricey. The lobby is always packed and not always the best element hanging around there i.e. (been propositioned many times). The renovated rooms are ok the lobby is always packed with tours who get good group rates - a bit of a zoo. November 11, 2011
Rated 4 out of 5 by MOMAVisitor Decent hotel, good location, poorly managed We stayed one night. The hotel is in a great location, and the prices are decent. The buffet breakfast was good, too, albeit a but expensive; if you have the option, get the buffet included with your room. The room was small but adequate, nicely decorated, and the view was decent from the 24th floor. Poor bathroom lighting except in the shower itself. Now for the bad: The staff was completely overwhelmed on both days. Checking in tool almost 45 minutes, most of which was spent waiting in line. Checking out, we opted for the express check-out, then had to wait over 45 minutes for the garage to bring our car down. The parking rate is insane, and for the money I expected my car to be available much faster. The doors do a horrible job insulating sound; we were awoken every time anyone walked down the hall (at one point, it sounded like there was a party in the hall) or got ice. Granted, some of the noise may have been luck-of-the-draw, and we just were "lucky" enough to get a bad floor/room, but better doors would really help. Also, as an SPG member, I was disappointed by the fact that my membership wasn't recognized, nor did it get me any advantages. Not sure I see the point to all the SPG points I've accumulated, or the loyalty I've shown to the chain over the years. I'd still consider staying at the hotel again, but my expectations certainly won't be as high next time. March 4, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by lacey1 great hotel bust dont forget somethingo ug Went to this hotel with my daughter to see the sights of new York. Great location and enjoyed the stay. the only negative thing I can say is don't forget something at the hotel I realized once I got home I left my camera charger pulled into the outlet in my hotel room called to inform them of it. I had to call serveral times to find out if they found it. To this date I have not heard from the hotel I had to replace the charger which was 79 for the battery and then another 80 for the charger. Very expensive. It would have been cheaper to buy a new camera but it was my daughter's very disappointed in the customer service I receieved or lack there of. September 27, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by JohnJoe No SPG Recognition At This Hotel For my very first business trip to New York City, I I decided to choose this property based on my Platinum SPG status and the benefits that accompany that status. This was a big mistake. I received minimal to no recognition at this property, being told there were "no upgrades available". I decided to "test" this by later looking for a new booking (after I had checked in) and discovered there were numerous upgrade rooms available for the night I was staying. For my next business trip to New York City, I will definitely avoid this property. If you are a SPG member with Platinum status, don't expect to get any benefits from staying at this property.

Rated 3 out of 5 by MoveOn1 Time Square First Time in New York so my expectations were big.... I was disappointed. Our room was nice you could clearly see it had been re-done with new carpet, furniture, drapes etc. but the surroundings were old, very small... and not worth the extremely high price we paid nearly 900.00 for 2/night stay. We also stood in line to check in/out for over 1 hour. People every where, crowded, no assistance obtaning cab out front which should be the norm in a place like this. I will never return to this Hotel.. I recommend looking around. The bed was beautiful but very very hard and uncomfortable..... I felt sick after paying my bill................. October 25, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by VeryGoodPointsStacey Location, Location, Location In 2010 and 2011, I stayed at the Sheraton NY Hotel & Towers at least 30 nights. The hotel's location is its greatest asset. It's in the heart of the city with easy access to everything. As a platinum member, I can't remember a time when I wasn't upgraded. Throughout my stays, some rooms were better than others - especially if I happened to get a room that hadn't been redone. The newly renovated rooms were much better than those that hadn't been renovated. The rooms are typical NY rooms - small - but you can't really expect anything else in that location. The Sheraton Club was always welcoming and I made great use of it. One drawback to the hotel is that it caters to large groups - and often times that meant young children on field trips - that can be annoying for a business traveler - but the benefits outweighed the annoyance, usually. The breakfasts are great - but overpriced - nothing new for a NY hotel. And the lobby Starbucks is convenient. Within walking distance of the hotel are hundreds of restaurants to choose from - so you aren't stuck in the hotel for food choices. The staff was always helpful and friendly - and if there ever was a problem, they were able to resolve it immediately. This hotel is a good option for NYC if you're on a business travel budget. The rates usually work for business travel and offer the standard SPG amenities you expect! I would return next time I'm in NY. April 5, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by Detroit67 Great stay! The reviews on the hotel really scared me but my I really enjoyed my stay!! August 20, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Monte33 Great Location Very close to Time Square and Rockefeller Center. Staff was kind and friendly. Check in for SPG guests was not so good. It was faster to go in the regular guest line. One of our two rooms was ready the second we were told would not be ready until 7 pm. Thought that was odd seeing that are current room was next door to it and housekeeping was working on it at 1 pm when we checked in. Overall great time. August 11, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by GIo123 Rooms are nice, lobby is insane Rooms were clean and comfortable, staff was helpful, good location, excellent gym, but if you are looking for a hotel that feels welcoming and relaxing when you walk in, don't say here. The lobby is crawling with ~100 tourists and children running around barefoot and screaming at all hours of the night. It feels stressful to enter. Like walking onto a playground during recess. Thankfully, my room and hallway were not like this or else I would not recommend this hotel. However, I was on the top floor due to my SPG status, so it is possible that lower floors were not as quiet. July 15, 2014

Rated 1 out of 5 by SuzyB Honeymoon luxury turned into disaster I booked the Sheraton hotel for a four night stay for our honeymoon from the 28th April to 2nd May. After a long flight from the UK we arrived to the hotel. Everything was perfect. We were checked into the hotel by a very friendly receptionist called Nicole who was very efficient. To our amazement she very kindly upgraded us to a superior room as we were on our honeymoon. She also told us that she would include complimentary breakfast for the whole stay which we were absolutely delighted with as with the expense of a wedding and a honeymoon to pay for we could not have afforded the $60 a day for breakfast for the two of us. Our room was great and cleaned every day. We went for breakfast every day and signed every day. On every receipt it stated complimentary and we double checked with staff. On check out our bill was delivered to our room and stated a $0 charge. So on our return to the UK two weeks later we received a credit card bill from the Sheraton hotel charged for breakfast. This was a huge shock as we had been informed this was complimentary. This is not a small amount of money and something that we would not have had if we believed it was then going to be charged anyway. We certainly would not have given the receptionist a large tip for being so kind, as we now feel that this has also been unfairly taken from us. We have contacted the hotel twice by e mail over the past two weeks and still had no response. And am hoping that someone will get back to me as this has not been a good start to our married life.

Rated 2 out of 5 by NiJaLa Meets expectations for location but... I travel with SPG-branded hotels in Asia for work relatively frequently. The hotel meets expectations with regards to location in manhattan. Unfortunately, noise pollution; failure to clearly disclose fees; and questionable service trade-offs puts a permanent blemish on the experience. We stayed in a corner room facing seventh avenue and could clearly hear not only the hallway but also conversation from the next room. Investment in sound dampening would have been much appreciated. If its raining - I am used to the hotel providing umbrellas. This hotel instead asked me to purchase one from a street vendor for $5. Regarding fees, we were given toothbrushes / toothpaste at check-in when we asked the front desk. No one mentioned that the hotel charged $4+ until they showed up as an obscure line item on the final bill. Finally, the hotel does not provide a complimentary baggage check service to guests who remain in the area after noon- checkout. Management refer people to a $3.75-a-bag vendor service in the same hotel. Why the Sheraton would choose to add fees for basic service items on a $300+ USD per night hotel room is not clear to me. I do think that had a brochure of fees been available at check-in, it would be easier to swallow. Unfortunately they do not. As such, I can only take the low-road and infer the hotel is trying to maximize profit instead of loyalty from its customers. As such, I can not recommend this hotel to other guests looking to stay in the times square area without the above warnings. December 25, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by Joanne43 Superb Hospitality I am writing this review to share the highlights and lowlights and more specifically commend an employee who went far and above anyone that I've encountered in my many, many years of traveling to Starwood properties. I brought my daughter to the Sheraton New York at Times Square to celebrate a very important milestone. We had several delays in our long travel day and arrived exhausted. I had previously requested the Suite Night award but unfortunately it was not available. Upon check-in, I was notified that an upgrade view room would be available in about 1-2 hours. Sounded good and we went to dinner. On our return we were checked in and given the keys to what turned out to be an already occupied room. I took our luggage and headed to the club room on the 44th floor. That is where we met Jorge, the on-duty VIP supervisor who personally saw to it that our trip was to be one of the best ever. He greeted us, grabbed our luggage, procured us a refreshment and set about getting us a new room assignment. For the next five days we felt completely pampered as well as a valued Starwood member. Each morning, Jorge was there to greet us in the Club room and insisted on getting my daughter her hot water and lemon himself as well as recommend restaurants, sights, etc. He arranged for a special celebratory gesture to be delivered to our room the evening of her event accompanied with a congratulatory card signed by the staff. This goes to show how just one employee can truly make a difference and we cannot thank him enough for his kindness and hospitality. We are already looking forward to our next trip to the Sheraton New York! On the negative side, the only area lacking at this particular hotel is the reception staff. I have been to this hotel about 10 times and not once have I felt welcomed. No front desk associate that I have come in contact with has ever greeted me, acknowledged brand loyalty or returning guest, acted happy, or basically cared about their position as the initial point-of-contact employee. As a unit, they seem generally unhappy that you are there to check-in/ask questions/etc. and treat you as such. April 11, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by DARLA2014 great place The room was very light while trying to sleep,as we could not get the electric blinds to come down. August 19, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by Davidcc9 One of the worst hotel stays I have ever had From the very beginning it was a bad experience, the front desk staff, arrogant, poorly trained with comments from the Front Desk Supervisor stating "it doesn't matter whether you are gold or platinum there are no rooms (even though we were confirmed to have rooms and they were prepaid in the Club Level). The rooms on the executive level are basic, small and no frills. Although advertised to have water bottles, the entire 3 day stay no waters were to be seen. The rooms on the executive floors were small and certainly not worth the $500+ per day that they charge. The club lounge was always crowded, the hotel operator, concierge or guest services operator had long waits to answer and one would eventully hang up because of the long wait. No one ever apologized for anything that went wrong. By the way the pool and spa are in the Manhattan Hotel across the street, so if you work out in their fitness center (it was nice) you have to get dressed and go across the street if you want to swim or take in a sauna after your work out. went to look at it and it was dirty and old. It was like the staff was doing the guest a favor for staying there and no one ever said "How may I help you". This hotel does not deserve to be a member of the SPG family. As a frequent traveler and a soon to be Platinum member of SPG, the company should be embarrased to have this hotel as part of its offering of properties. The ENTIRE staff needs to be trained on customer service and hospitality services. This was 2 stays in one, first and last, at this hotel December 18, 2011
Rated 4 out of 5 by Christina1977 Probems w/ Elevators Overall, I am very pleased with our stay at the Sheraton Time Square. The staff couldn't have been friendlier and I consistently felt like they went above and beyond to ensure all of our needs were met. Now, the experience that was NOT above and beyond was the use of the elevators. Since we were on the 39th floor, we had no choice but to use the elevators. Every morning, there was a 5-10 minute wait to get an elevator however, this is somewhat expected during such a busy season in a multi-floored hotel. However, on our last day, a group of us from the floor waited over 20 minutes for an elevator until we realized there had to be an issue. After waiting for someone from the hotel to meet us to explain how much longer we should anticipate waiting, we were told one of the elevators was down which was causing a back-up in the remaining elevators. Since we had already scheduled a tour for that morning, we had no choice but to walk down 39 floors to get to the lobby in order to make our tour and not lose out on the $200+ we spent to reserve our spots. This was ridiculous! Thank god we are young and health is on our side BUT....as guests, contingency plans should be in place should the use of an elevator be down. There were a lot of very upset people who were unable to walk down 39 floors and rather than adding fuel to the already brewing fire, we decided to take the only alternative available to us, the stairs. Like I mentioned previously, we had an otherwise fantastic experience but this incident will make me reluctant to stay at this hotel in the future. December 9, 2013

Fantasy Football Breaking News
Montee Ball - RB - Denver Broncos
Denver Broncos RB Montee Ball (groin) was not at practice Tuesday, Oct. 21.
Huddle Up: Reports have placed Ball's likely return in Week 10 or 11, but in the meantime, Ronnie Hillman looks to be tightening his grip on the No. 1 RB role, coming off back-to-back strong performances.
Ryan Mathews - RB - San Diego Chargers
San Diego Chargers RB Ryan Mathews (knee) did not practice Tuesday, Oct. 21, and is not expected to play Thursday, Oct. 23, against the Denver Broncos.
Huddle Up: A much more likely return date for Mathews is Week 9 as the Chargers will have 10 days after Thursday's night contest to prepare for their Nov. 2 game in Miami.
Donald Brown - RB - San Diego Chargers
San Diego Chargers RB Donald Brown (concussion) did not practice Tuesday, Oct. 21, and is not expected to play Thursday, Oct. 23, against the Denver Broncos.
Huddle Up: With Brown expected to miss a third straight game and Ryan Mathews still out, it'll be Branden Oliver and a little of bit of Ronnie Brown shouldering the RB chores again in Week 8.
Jeremy Kerley - WR - New York Jets
New York Jets WR Jeremy Kerley officially signed a four-year, $16 million extension Tuesday, Oct. 21. Kerley will receive $5.4 million of guaranteed money. He has 22 catches for 201 yards and a touchdown this year.
Huddle Up: Kerley has sort of been lost in the team's WR shuffle this year with the additions of Eric Decker and, now, Percy Harvin, but he certainly still figures heavily in the Jets' long-term plans. In the meantime, though, Harvin's arrival nixes any fantasy value Kerley still had for this season.
Lamar Miller - RB - Miami Dolphins
Miami Dolphins RB Lamar Miller practiced with a brace on his right knee Tuesday, Oct. 21.
Huddle Up: Something to note, but it's certainly not a serious injury concern at the moment for the RB who has at least a TD and 67 total yards in each of his last 3 games.
Darren Sproles - RB - Philadelphia Eagles
Philadelphia Eagles RB Darren Sproles (knee) returned to practice Tuesday, Oct. 21.
Huddle Up: According to reports, Sproles didn't appear to be limited during the time the media got to observe practice Tuesday, and he may not end up missing any time thanks to the team's well-timed bye week. But definitely see how the rest of the practice week goes for the RB before getting too excited.
C.J. Spiller - RB - Buffalo Bills
The Buffalo Bills placed RB C.J. Spiller (collarbone) on short-term Reserve/Injured Tuesday, Oct. 21.
Huddle Up: Spiller's season may not technically be over, but for the majority of fantasy purposes it is as he wouldn't be able to play until Week 17 at the earliest, provided all goes well with his recovery.
Phillip Tanner - RB - Buffalo Bills
The Buffalo Bills are signing free-agent RB Phillip Tanner (Cowboys) on Tuesday, Oct. 21.
Huddle Up: Tanner, whose last rushing attempt came almost a year ago (Oct. 27), is simply added depth insurance behind Anthony Dixon and Bryce Brown.
Brian Hoyer - QB - Cleveland Browns
Cleveland Browns QB Johnny Manziel could see some action in Week 8 against the Oakland Raiders, according to head coach Mike Pettine. However, Pettine said Monday, Oct. 20, that QB Brian Hoyer is still firmly entrenched as the team's starting quarterback. Hoyer completed a career-low 39 percent of his attempts against the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 7 and threw for 215 yards with no touchdowns and an interception. He has completed only 41.3 percent of his passes in the last two weeks. Pettine blamed Hoyer's poor performance on the team's inability to run and set up play-action.
Huddle Up: Hoyer owners have known this is coming sooner or later, and the QB's poor performance last Sunday against previously winless Jacksonville looks to have jump-started the process. Hoyer, though, still has a chance to stave off the rookie with a strong bounce-back showing against the Raiders this week.
Calvin Johnson - WR - Detroit Lions
Detroit Lions WR Calvin Johnson (ankle) said he is back to running Tuesday, Oct. 21. Johnson sat out in Week 7 against the New Orleans Saints and appears to be trying to return sooner rather than later.
Huddle Up: Megatron did make the flight to London, but it still makes a lot more sense for the Lions to hold the star WR out for another game and then take advantage of the bye in Week 9 to get him another week of rest. Stay tuned, though.
Martavis Bryant - WR - Pittsburgh Steelers
Pittsburgh Steelers WR Martavis Bryant cut into WR Markus Wheaton's workload in Week 7 against the Houston Texans, and QB Ben Roethlisberger took three 'shot' plays down the field to Bryant. The team is unsettled at receiver behind WR Antonio Brown, with WRs Wheaton, Lance Moore and Darrius Heyward-Bey fighting for targets. It was the first game in which Bryant was active this year.
Huddle Up: Bryant, a fourth-round pick out of Clemson, was targeted 5 times in the game and finished with 2 catches for 40 yards, including a 35-yard scoring reception. And "cutting into Wheaton's workload" is an understatement as he finished with nary a reception or target for the first time this season. Wheaton had only 5 catches for 50 yards in the previous 2 games, so fantasy GMs should definitely be looking at a move if they haven't already.
Zach Mettenberger - QB - Tennessee Titans
Tennessee Titans QB Jake Locker (thumb) will start at quarterback when he's healthy, according to head coach Ken Whisenhunt. QB Charlie Whitehurst has filled in for Locker three times this year, but buzz continues to mount for QB Zach Mettenberger, the team's sixth-round draft pick this year. "We're trying to get him better as we go, knowing with the way it's gone for us at quarterback this year that's something that could happen at any time," Whisenhunt said. Whisenhunt doesn't sound concerned about playing Mettenberger too soon, either.
Huddle Up: Locker should be ready to return this week after missing the last 2 games, but it is Locker so his status is always in doubt. Whitehurst has either failed to throw for 200 yards or a TD in each of his three starts, so fantasy owners of Titans' pass-catchers really have nothing to lose if the team decides to go with the rookie.
Andre Johnson - WR - Houston Texans
Houston Texans WR Andre Johnson had five catches for 77 yards in a Week 7 loss Monday, Oct. 20, to move past Hall of Famer Steve Largent and into 14th place on the all-time receiving yards list.
Huddle Up: Johnson is still a low-end WR 2 or flex starter in PPR leagues, but he's had only one scoring reception in his last 14 games dating back to last season and his owners in standard-scoring leagues can hardly be blamed if they've sought out other starting options.
Dwayne Allen - TE - Indianapolis Colts
Indianapolis Colts TE Dwayne Allen (hip) said he is still working his way back to pre-injury form, but he looks a lot better than he did in training camp, according to beat writer Stephen Holder. Allen has 33 catches for 305 yards and five touchdowns thus far.
Huddle Up: Even with the injury Allen has emerged as the scoring tight end in Indy's rotation, surpassing Andrew Luck's former college teammate Coby Fleener for that role.
Reggie Wayne - WR - Indianapolis Colts
Updating previous reports, Indianapolis Colts WR Reggie Wayne (elbow) could miss time with his elbow injury. Beat writer Stephen Holder tweeted that he isn't receiving good vibes from the situation, but it doesn't sound major. The team is receiving multiple opinions on the injury.
Huddle Up: The Colts have some depth at the position, but Andrew Luck would miss Wayne's veteran presence should he be down for any extended length of time.
Ben Tate - RB - Cleveland Browns
Cleveland Browns RBs Ben Tate, Isaiah Crowell and Terrance West were held to 69 yards on 33 carries in Week 7, and head coach Mike Pettine suggested a change was coming for the trio. 'We'll have a discussion this week as to how to best rotate those guys,' Pettine said. West was benched Sunday, Oct. 19, after failing to pick up a first down in two short-yardage situations. He had room to run on both carries but danced in the hole on one carry and ran into his lineman on the other.
Huddle Up: Tate had been mostly effective until last week; in his absence the tag-team of Crowell and West had success as well. Based on recent events--including Sunday's benching--the best guess is that Crowell and Tate will battle for the lead role with the other serving as a change of pace, with West the odd man out. It's a volatile fantasy situation at best.
Pierre Thomas - RB - New Orleans Saints
New Orleans Saints RB Pierre Thomas (shoulder) is expected to miss two to three weeks due to a shoulder injury, according to sources.
Huddle Up: Fortunately for the Saints they have a thousand other backs they can (and often do) rotate in and out of the lineup. Khiry Robinson and Travaris Cadet are the most likely candidates to pick up Pierre's workload, but good luck trying to figure out how Sean Payton will use his backs on a week-to-week basis.
Le'Veon Bell - RB - Pittsburgh Steelers
Pittsburgh Steelers RB Le'Veon Bell rushed 12 times for 57 yards and caught 8 passes for 88 yards and a TD Monday, Oct. 20 in a 30-23 win over the Houston Texans.
Huddle Up: Thanks to his career-high 8 catches for 88 yards -- also matching a career single-game best -- Bell totaled 145 yards from scrimmage and now has at least 105 in every game this season. His fantasy owners, though, were probably the most pleased to see him find his way into the end zone for the first time since Week 1.
A.J. Green - WR - Cincinnati Bengals
Cincinnati Bengals WR A.J. Green (toe) said he will play Sunday, Oct. 26, against the Baltimore Ravens, according to ESPN's Chris Mortensen.
Huddle Up: Welcome news for the fantasy GMs who have been without Green over the last 2 games. Double that considering the opponent as Green has caught 18 passes for 343 yards and 3 TDs in his last 3 games against the Ravens, including a 6-131-1 showing in last month's season opener.
Brian Hoyer - QB - Cleveland Browns
Cleveland Browns QB Brian Hoyer completed only 39 percent of his passes in the team's Week 7 game, which is the worst completion percentage by any quarterback this season. The Browns, however, said Hoyer remains the starting QB.
Huddle Up: While Hoyer has certainly bought himself some time with the 3-2 start, he had best take advantage of favorable matchups against the Raiders and Bucs the next two weeks, or we might see Johnny Football starting in November.

Senior Citizen Group Names Article
Health and Happiness as a Senior Citizen
Each year, millions of articles, books, and television shows are generated to impress upon individuals the importance of living a healthy and happy life. Most of the time, the hosts of such things are looking to sell a product that they have some invested interest in. It is important to be able to understand this; however, it is also important to understand that the base message of their sales pitch is extremely important. We should always do what we are able to in order to live a healthy and happy life. This is especially true when you are a senior citizen.
When looking for ways to remain healthy in your senior citizen years, the first thing that you should understand is the concept of moderation. While you should take your health seriously, you should understand that you are a senior citizen and should not allow yourself to become overly committed, or too obsessed, with a healthy lifestyle. If you allow this to happen, your happiness will suffer tremendously. It is important to get exercise, eat the right foods, and take part in healthy activities, but do not allow these things to control your life. If you find that you do not want to exercise on a daily basis, doing so a few times a week is fine. If you want to indulge in a food that is known to contain a lot of fat and sugar, it is ok to do so on occasion. You should still enjoy the luxuries in life when you are able to, just do so in moderation.
Many senior citizens engage in smoking tobacco. While many senior citizens feel that they are old enough to make their own decisions, smoking can have a negative impact on the body and should be avoided. If you are unable to avoid smoking, at least try to cut back to ensure that you are doing as little damage to your body as possible. Smoking can lead to breathing difficulties, and other dangerous medical complications. This is also true when it comes to consuming alcohol. While it has been proven that a small amount of wine can be beneficial for the body, it is important to keep alcohol consumption to a minimum. Drink only in moderation, and avoid drinking every day. Alcohol may be beneficial in many aspects, but it can also have devastating effects on the body as well.
As a senior citizen, it is important that you keep up on your doctor appointments and checkups. This way, if any new medical issues arise, they can be dealt with in a timely manner to avoid further issues in the future. If you are instructed to take certain medications, or any other activity, by your doctor you should follow their advice carefully. This will ensure that you are staying on top of your game and you are remaining as healthy as possible.
If you are looking to maintain your health as a senior citizen, these tips can help you do so. If you would like more advice about being happy and healthy, you should seek the advice of your doctor.

This is pretty much a standard daisy chain-as good as anything out there. All the other daisy chains I've seen are pretty much identical in terms of features. It won't power effects that require an AC power supply (some Digitech pedals) or pedals that require a barrel connector that has a positive center (like some Line 6 pedals). You can solve the center positive problem by buying a center polarity converter that costs about 3 bucks. For the AC problem, you've got bigger issues. No matter what, you're better off understanding the power requirements of the pedals you buy and approaching your rig with a plan in mind.

Comments about Visual Sound Multi-Plug 5 Cable for 1 SPOT Adapter:
I got this after years of changing out expensive 9 volt batteries that would go out at different times. Right now I've got it set up to power my Cry Baby, a univibe pedal, a delay pedal, a Tube Screamer and a chorus pedal. There is a very slight hum that is barely audible, much less audible than a single coil pick up. So far, so good.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Ask me a question
The barrell OD is 5.5 mm about same as 7/32 drill bit. ID is 2.1 mm. A 5/64 bit will slip into the barrell. There are different sizes of these connectors out there. This fit my Ditto Looper, Behringer CS400, and Korg Pedal tuner; so it must be a standard size.I am using it with a PA-9S-US Power-All 9V Digital Power Supply, which can power many items at same time.

I bought this to extend my One Spot due to my pedal addiction. Would I have purchased it if I did not have a pedal addiction? No. But I needed more power to feed my addiction. This enabled me to continue my addiction. Now I can power a pedal board the size of Tokyo on one One Spot. Thanks!
How did I get along without this?

Have you ever had to find the bad battery or wall-wart amongst your pedals in the middle of a gig when your signal chain goes quiet? I have, and it's an awful feeling, letting the band down and holding up the show.I don't use a lot of effects, but after years of running through 9V batteries in stomp-boxes, this is a godsend. And it's allowed me to keep all my effects pre-connected, and velcro'd to my board which saves a lot of time on set-up and break-down. I use three of the inputs, and keep the others tied down for when I need to expand my setup. Love this cable!
Great product
By Steven Eddy
from Texas
This is a product where you actually have to be smarter than the product to get good use out of it.There are those who claim that the origin of manufacture or only having five plugs is a drawback - but everything is made overseas anymore and this company does offer an eight plug adapter.I am a professional musician and use this on a three pedal pedal board. It was clipped to accumodate only the pedals I needed and still works great. I also have it ties down with zip ties so it doesn't get plugged and unplugged all of the time - which in my opinion would shorten the lifespan of this product over time.It's been around the world with no failures. Recommend it to everyone I see.Great product.
Performed as expected
By Farmdog-LqGsj

I have a One Spot power supply that I wanted to utilize to power all of the pedals on my board, so I ordered the Multi-Plug 5 Cable Adapter. I have used it almost daily for the last couple weeks since I purchased it and I have had no problems with it. I run a cry baby,a Fulltone OCD, Seymour Duncan Tweak Fuzz and a Korg non-pedal tuner and they all perform to the same quality as they did on batteries and individual power supplies.Some reviews I have read mention hearing noise from their pedal board when using this product, but I have not experienced this at all. There is also plenty of length in the adapter to reach where you need it. This is a great, cost-effective way to power several pedals at once.

Shoddily Made
By Mckyhart
from Miami, FL
It broke after a year of light use. If the good people at Visual Sound hadn't outsourced this work to China and it hadn't stopped working on me abruptly, I'd rate it much more highly. Right now, it's literally garbage.I'm taking my business elsewhere, forget Visual Sound and their inferior product. Do yourself a favor and look elsewhere.Features are pretty much what you see -- it's an extension of the 1 SPOT power adapter. Took off two stars for there only being 5 extension plugs. It's not really enough for my needs, but it's still better than having a separate adapter for every pedal.I bought this thing a year ago and it died last week. It has been sitting in my heavily air-conditioned house and is not even plugged into the wall when I'm not using it. Heck, I even had a towel over it when I wasn't using it. I'm fastidiously careful with my music gear; this is not a result of neglect.The 1 SPOT adapter still works; this extension piece is what stopped working out of the blue.I thought at the time that it was total bull to have to buy two separate pieces. I believe that it's just a ploy for them to be able to "maximize profit".

In Dubious Battle
by John Steinbeck
In my experience there are two kinds of Steinbeck novels. There are the character-driven stories that are often entertaining (think Cannery Row) and there are the moral tragedies where big lessons are learned (think Grapes of Wrath and The Pearl.) This definitely falls into the latter category. Two men join a group of apple pickers in the 1930s with the goal of getting them to strike for better wages.
Mac and Jim are the men behind the cause, recruiting the local leader, London, to gain the trust of the workers. Jim is new to the world of unions, but not to injustice. He is naive at first, but grows stronger as he focuses on his purpose. The battle escalates and the belief that the men perpetuate is that the ends justifies the means, no matter who is hurt along the way. The men, who are actually fighting for the cause, are often the manipulated pawns of bigger men with bigger goals. The character of the Doctor gave some interesting perspective to the motivation behind Mac's work.
It's good; the writing is crisp and vivid. But I feel like it's a precursor to greater work. The partnership and friendship that grows between Jim and Mac is better personified between George and Lennie in "Of Mice and Men." The strike for higher wages and the struggle for a better life for the workers are better demonstrated in "The Grapes of Wrath." In Dubious Battle is a good story and a tragic one, but it didn't dig quite as deep for me.
BOTTOM LINE: It's not my favorite Steinbeck, but he's written so many that I love. As with his other work this story gives a voice to an often overlooked group of people and I think it would have been particularly powerful during the time in which it was originally released.
"There's no better way to make men part of a movement than to have them give something to it."
"It seems to me that a man has engaged in a blind and fearful struggle out of a past he can't remember, into a future he can't foresee nor understand. And man has met and defeated every obstacle, every enemy except one. He cannot win over himself."

Departure Day: When it comes to TV, is closure important?
If you happen to follow a decent number of TV critics on Twitter, you may have noticed a minor eruption of late. A schism has emerged, prompted by accounts like The Cancellation Bear, which concerns itself solely with the topic of whether or not series are likely to survive based on current ratings patterns. That may sound perfectly innocent on its own, but quite a few admirers have expressed the notion that they refuse to dive into a series if they get the sense that it will come to a premature end, thereby robbing them of closure. This idea has, naturally, left many critics incensed: isn't TV a medium founded on chaos, on the thrill of working within limitations and at the whims of fickle audiences? Moreover, isn't it silly to always want tidy resolution in the context »

"It sucked... It just was -- awful," Michael Keaton says of Batman Forever in the following "CBS Sunday Morning" interview piece, which largely asks "Where has Michael Keaton beenc" It's a good little piece as we learn Keaton turned down a reported $15 million to play Batman a third time. The role would eventually go to Val Kilmer and while the question of where has Keaton been floats in the air... Well, since Batman Returns he's made The Paper, Quentin Tarantino's Jackie Brown, starred in White Noise, voiced characters in Pixar's Cars and Toy Story 3 and was an excellent contribution to The Other Guys. Granted, none of those roles stacks up to his new film, Birdman (or The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance), which I had the pleasure of seeing just this morning and while I'll have my review for you on Monday, let me just say the hype around this one is for real, »

Lost Soul: The Doomed Journey of Richard Stanley's Island of Dr. Moreau
Directed by David Gregory
Lost Soul: The Doomed Journey of Richard Stanley's Island of Dr. Moreau (2014) is a documentary that tells the secret story behind Richard Stanley's involvement, as the uncredited director and extra, in the cult movie The Island of Dr. Moreau (1996). After his cult successes Hardware (1990) and Dust Devil (1992), director Richard Stanley was given an $8 million dollar budget along with the stars Marlon Brando and Val Kilmer to make his dream project based on the H. G. Wells science fiction novel, The Island of Dr. Moreau (1896). Stanley pre-produced and developed the script for 4 years only to end up getting fired 4 days into the shoot. It's a "what might have been movie" in the vein of films like Jodorowsky's Dune (2013) or Lost in La Mancha (2002).
The film includes a variety of testimonials from Richard Stanley, »

Chris O'Donnell had the distinction of playing Robin twice: once to Val Kilmer's Batman in 1995's Batman Forever and again to George Clooney's version of the Caped Crusader in 1997's Batman & Robin. So when he stopped by our La offices recently, we had to ask what he thinks about the franchise's newest Dark Knight, Ben Affleck. "I think he'll be great. I think it's an easy decision for Ben to do that. He's got nothing to lose - he's a made man, so to speak, in Hollywood. He directed Argo. He won an Academy Award. There's no downside," Chris told us. "And the fact of the matter is, having been through it myself, there is nothing that has a greater reach internationally than a film like Batman. Ben's a smart businessman. He knows that, and if you thought you couldn't expand his brand further, he will by virtue of Batman. »

From Big and Uncle Buck to Shutter Island and Rush Hour, here are 23 films that are getting the television treatment...

Director: Gia Coppola; Screenwriter: Gia Coppola, James Franco; Starring: Emma Roberts, James Franco, Nat Wolff, Jack Kilmer; Running time: 100 mins; Certificate:
Gia Coppola, the niece of Sofia and granddaughter of Francis Ford, is making her mark in the family business with Palo Alto, a striking coming-of-age film adapted from James Franco's collection of short stories. She brings a soft impressionistic style to counter the brutality of Franco's book without losing the rawness and immediacy that is integral to a story about carefree, careless teens looking for kicks.
Franco also has an on-screen role as Mr B, one of the grown-ups who hasn't quite grown up, but Coppola has narrowed the focus to centre on Emma Roberts playing his student, the shy and self-conscious April. Mr B coaches the girls' soccer team and has an obvious soft spot for April that comes across in quick glances and lingering silences that soon verge on creepy. »

The director of Batman Forever and Batman & Robin, Joel Schumacher, has been talking about his turn as Batman's director...
The summer of 1997 proved a turning point in the career of director Joel Schumacher. Up until that point, he was one of Warner Bros' go-to directors, alternating Batman films with John Grisham movie adaptations, and turning them each into box office gold. Furthermore, his directorial CV is not short of interesting movies before that, from The Lost Boys to Falling Down.
Yet then Batman & Robin happened. And whilst Schumacher has made the odd good film since - Tigerland for a start - things clearly haven't been the same since.
In a new chat with Variety, Schumacher has been looking back at his time making Batman movies. And whilst a good chunk of what he's said there is stuff has covered before, it's no less interesting.
He revealed, for instance, that »

After Batman Returns, Tim Burton was set to return to direct a third film in the franchise. For some stupid ass reason, though, they dropped the director's version of the film, because they wanted the him to tone down the darkness. Instead, they went with Joel Schumacher's colorfully terrible film, Batman Forever. Burton's plan was to introduce Robin in to the franchise, and Marlon Wayans was actually cast in the role. Once Schumacher came on board he recast both Batman and Robin, and we ended up with Val Kilmer and Chris O' Donnell.
Thanks to Cbm, we have a piece of concept art showing us what Burton's vision of Robin may have looked like. The sketch comes from Costume designer Bob Ringwood, and it looks… interesting. The hair poofing out of the top of his head is pretty silly looking, but the actual costume may have looked a lot different. »

For a generation of moviegoers, Michael Keaton defined Batman onscreen. After 1989's Batman and 1992's Batman Returns, he stepped away from the superhero franchise, making room for the likes of Val Kilmer, George Clooney, Christian Bale, and Ben Affleck. But just because Keaton ushered in the modern superhero movie doesn't mean he feels beholden to it nowadays. In fact, he's never watched a one of Christopher Nolan's wildly popular Batman reboot trilogy. He tells Entertainment Weekly: "Chris Nolan is great, but I.ve never seen any of the Batman movies all the way through. I know they.re good. I just have zero interest in those kinds of movies." This comment is kind of hilarious in the context that Keaton is being interviewed about his latest, Birdman or The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance.

The latest cinematic comedy getting the small screen treatment? That'd be Uncle Buck...
Regular readers of this site (or the internet in general) will know that stories about movies becoming TV shows have been a dime a dozen for the last few months.
In the comedy department, we already know that televisual versions of School Of Rock, Big and even Val Kilmer's Real Genius are already in development.
Widen that search to action movies and dramas and you get Minority Report, The Devil's Advocate, Westworld and Mark Whalberg's Shooter too, amongst others.
Today, we've heard word that John Hughes and John Candy comedy Uncle Buck is coming to our telly-boxes. The late, great Mr Candy left behind big shoes to fill, so ABC/Universal will surely already have a name in mind if they've gone ahead and announced the show.

The Festival du Nouveau Cinema has arrived and because of it's strong line-up, there is no way it is possible to see everything worth watching. Faced with an impossible task I proposed myself to focus on just one section of this year's festival, Temps Ø, which is celebrating it's 10th year in 2014. This section features the more obscure and rebel films of the Fnc, programed for an audience who enjoy witty cinematic experiences. My most anticipated films from the Temps Ø section this year is a mix of genres and styles that explore different themes and influences.
Der Samurai (Last Samurai)
Directed by Till Kleinert
Der Samurai directed by Till Kleinert, who will be present at the festival, is an under 80 minutes long feature set in a wooded region of the German-Polish border. It is a neo-giallo cat and mouse tale of Samurai (Pit Bukowski), a cross-dressing »

Robert Downey Jr. took to Reddit for an Ama on Tuesday in anticipation of The Judge, which the actor called "the closest thing to a perfect film I've ever been part of" in response to a Reddit user. In his Ama, the actor covered everything from his time as Iron Man, to upcoming film projects, to his favorite late-night snack. Here are the 11 most interesting answers, with full Downey Jr. charm intact. 1. He cleared the air about Mel Gibson and Iron Man 4.

A number of films have been inspired by the cases of paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren, most notably The Amityville Horror. The most financially successful was 2013's The Conjuring, in which the couple played by Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga assist the Perron family (Ron Livingston and Lili Taylor) with the demonic presence troubling their home. That film, which made over $318 million worldwide, is bookended with the tale of another of their cases. In it, the Warrens help a young nurse dealing with the sinister presence inhabiting a doll given to her by her mother. The film closes with a scene set in the basement room where the Warrens keep demonically possessed curiosities, the doll "Annabelle" in her glass case reigning as the most evil and feared. It serves as a perfect introduction for this week's prequel, Annabelle.

Every year in Austin, Texas, the Alamo Drafthouse holds Fantastic Fest, a celebration of all things wild, weird, and wonderful in worldwide genre cinema. Most of these movies feature one or more of the following: animal cruelty, full-frontal nudity, fountains of blood and some kind of weird Japanese business. (If it's missing one or more of these elements, then it was probably admitted by mistake.)
Most film festivals are divided into the screenings and the parties; what Fantastic Fest does (brilliantly) is combine these two elements into a non-stop, week-long smorgasbord of good times. (This festival also included Mondo Con, a convention dedicated to pop culture artwork.) This was our first year at the festival and as such we tried to drink it all in.
Below are all the movies we saw at the festival -- from best to worst. One of the greatest things about Fantastic Fest is that »

Palo Alto, 2013.
Directed by Gia Coppola.
Starring James Franco, Emma Roberts, Jack Kilmer, Val Kilmer, Nat Wolff and Olivia Crocicchia.
A tale of two American high schoolers and their path along their awkward romance.
Palo Alto feels like a film that has been out forever, having been shown at several film festivals dating back to June last year. It has been shown theatrically in the Us already but has only recently made it across the Atlantic into British cinemas, starting general release early next month. This could have attributed to why by the time I finally sat down and watched Palo Alto it felt so tired and boring.
Set in suburban America we follow April (Emily Roberts) who is torn between a crush on Teddy (Jack Kilmer) and her teacher and soccer coach Mr B (James Franco). We follow April through her decisions and day to day life, going »

Ah, Hollywood, where nostaglia isn't just a feeling, it's a product. A trio of movies are on the way to play on stuff you remember seeing or doing in the '80s, so let's dive right in.... First up, Threshold Entertainment has announced that the video game "Tetris" —yes, that one— will be turned into a movie. "It's a very big, epic sci-fi movie," Threshold's CEO Larry Kasanoff said to Speakeasy. "This isn't a movie with a bunch of lines running around the page. We're not giving feet to the geometric shapes." He also added "brands are the new stars of Hollywood. We have a story behind 'Tetris' which makes it a much more imaginative thing." In Kasanoff's defense, he did make two "Mortal Kombat" movies. But then again, this is fucking "Tetris," so there better be a helluva story. Meanwhile, Deadline reports that Adam Sandler »

So on Monday, I watched the Gotham series premiere with about 8 million of my friends. I started writing a column about the show and what it says (accidentally and/or purposefully) about the role of Batman in pop culture right now. But working on that column got me thinking more generally about Batman: A character who has been around for 75 years, a figure in my cultural consciousness since before my memory begins. The next thing I knew, I was making a list of my favorite Batman things–the movies, the TV shows, the vividly recalled comic book story arcs and standalone issues, »

BOISE, Idaho (AP) -- Boise State and the University of Virginia have announced a home-and-home football series starting in 2015.
The Broncos will travel to Charlottesville, Va., for a game on Sept. 26, 2015, marking just the third time BSU will play a team from the Atlantic Coast Conference. The Cavaliers are scheduled to make the return trip to Boise on Sept. 23, 2017.
Boise State athletic director Mark Coyle said Monday he thinks BSU fans will be excited about hosting an ACC school. He says he continues to work to schedule home-and-home games against BCS opponents.
The schools will exchange guarantees of $200,000.

I think it will be great; can't wait to see it. Emerald green in sequins sounds awesome. Emerald green is the color for the season, I'll be making a green dress soon also. I'm going to have to start using patterns though, my cowl may have draped nicer. What pattern did you use?

Thanks Mary. I did break a needle but I grabbed another then later realized it was a leather needle and it worked great.

Might not be the best pic but here's a pic of the back. I just checked out your gold dress again. Great back! I didn't have a pattern so the back gave me some problems.
Jan 4, 2013, 12.03 AMby Mary Athey
the back looks really good. The back on my gold one had a seperate cowl that was attached at the shoulders. I found this gave great drape. I.ve cut another out in emerald green sequins for sat night. I used the front of a burda pattern and the back of my gold dress pattern.i wanted a cowl back and front. i.m adding sleeves as well. I just hope it looks ok when sewn lol x

from the Tennessean,
...And Leipold would have to exercise an option that would activate the 14,000 Or Bust provision for next season before there would be any real chance of moving the team.
"That's not anywhere on our radar right now," Leipold said.
Let's be clear here: Far be it from me to tell the Average Joe how to spend his disposable income. If hockey factors in, fine. If not, hey, it's your money.
Likewise, I'll keep my nose out of the budgets of area businesspeople. The boss knows whether purchasing tickets is good for the bottom line.
But we no longer can ignore the fact that empty seats equal an empty feeling about the future of the NHL in Nashville.

Bantam Coach Suspended For Three Years

from the CP via the Edmonton Sun,
MONTREAL—A local hockey association has slapped a three-year suspension on a former semi-professional hockey goon who, as coach of his son's team, allegedly hurled water bottles, plywood and abuse at a referee last week.
Clint Butler was coaching the St. Michel Cardinaux - a bantam A team of boys aged 13 and 14 - when he became outraged after a referee ejected his son for punching a player on the other team.
After Butler's outburst, the game was called off. Butler was escorted from the arena.

from the Arizona Republic,
A popular eye-drop product has long vowed to "get the red out." But nothing seemingly works when the vaunted Detroit Red Wings skate into town, not even a new pricing system put into place this season in Glendale that doubles the individual-game ticket cost for Coyotes' home games against Detroit.
As usual, hundreds upon hundreds of Red Wings fans showed up for Thursday's game sporting Detroit gear and, as Coyotes coach Wayne Gretzky said, "the other red."
"It's going to take a long time," Gretzky said of shedding the Red Wings' perceived home-ice advantage in places such as the Valley and other non-traditional NHL venues, where the Wings routinely draw huge crowds. "There's only a few teams that have that sort of following in North America - the Red Wings and maybe the Montreal Canadiens and the New York Rangers…

Selanne Nets Hat Trick
by Paul on 01/12/07 at 10:52 AM ET
Comments (0)
from the AP via ABC News,
Earlier on Thursday, Selanne had a phone conversation with a close friend in Finland. The friend has terminal cancer and asked Selanne to send him the puck if he had three goals.
Selanne promised to oblige but warned the friend that he hadn't had a hat trick since March 29, 2001, in a game against the Ducks when Selanne played for the San Jose Sharks.
"Today he found out that the cancer has spread to his brain," said Selanne, who has 19 career hat tricks. "I don't think he has much time to live. So I told him if I scored a hat trick I'd keep the puck. I told him the odds weren't very good that it would happen. Obviously it was really a sad day today, but what are you going to do? Life is not fair sometimes."

As a result, Blues fans will be able to get free hot dogs, chicken tenders, peanuts, popcorn, chips, soda and water at their 1 p.m. game Saturday against the Los Angeles Kings. The food will be free from noon, when the gates open, to the time the puck is dropped to start the third period.
A little more than 2,000 tickets remained as of late Thursday afternoon for the game, which is being televised by NBC.
"The response has been incredible," McLoughlin said. "We announced the promotion on Dec. 30 during the Colorado game and 10 days later, we've sold 4,500 tickets.

Schedule Options

Comments (0)
from Bob McKenzie of TSN,
The NHL should know by Friday whether there's enough support to change the league's schedule format and/or alignment for next season because that is the deadline for the 30 teams to answer a league survey on what they would, or wouldn't, like to see.
Teams are being asked to vote on three options.
Option No. 1 is the most radical and least likely to fly. It is the realignment proposal that would see one eight-team division and one seven-team division in each of the conferences.

Well, there are seven at the top of my list, starting with Eric Lindros, who is over a decade removed from winning the Hart Trophy with the Flyers in 1994-95.
Staying healthy is a key for Lindros as he has not played in more than 39 games in the past two seasons.

Players Sacrifice Family Time

from Debbie Elicksen at NBC Sports,
The life of an athlete can be very demanding. The schedule, the pressure, the travel – all of it wreaks havoc on families.
Before the kids are born, it's all about the player—his schedule, his pre-game meal, his pre-game nap and what time he leaves the house for the rink. But after kids -– well, it's hard to tell a two-year-old they can't play with their riding toy because daddy has to rest before the game.
St. Louis Blues RW Bill Guerin has four children (Kayla, Grace, Lexi, and Liam). He says juggling the kids' schedules with his hockey schedule wouldn't be possible without his wife Kara. But even though she takes care of business while he's away, with kids, stuff always happens.

from the Tennessean,
Predators owner Craig Leipold says he's looking for local ownership to buy up to 40 percent of the team, in hopes that such a move would make inroads into local businesses and improve attendance.
Leipold's comments come two days after a Tuesday crowd of less than 12,000 watched the Predators beat Anaheim in a match-up of the top two teams in the Western Conference.
"Attendance has been an issue for six or seven years,"' Leipold said. "I think our players were very disappointed in attendance when the number one team is playing the number two team in the league. That hadn't happened in our history and it doesn't happen that often in the NHL."

"But before the last game of that year, in Washington, I think it was," reminisced the Minnesota Wild general manager, "Scotty walked into the room, cleared his throat and gave a little speech. That in itself was odd. And I remember he said something like, 'Boys, do it tonight and we'll become the first team in NHL history to win 60 games!'
"And I'm sitting there, getting my stuff on, totally oblivious to what we'd been doing, and thinking, 'What? Are we that good?!'"

John Stossel: The milk of human blindness
Congress is working on a farm bill, which, among other things, will set limits on how high or low milk prices can be in different regions of the country.
The dairy farmers say some dairy farms lose money, which proves milk prices are too low. But cheesemakers say they can barely stay in business, proving milk prices are too high.
Prices are not just money. They're information. Rising prices tell farmers to produce more; that increases supply and prices go back down. Falling prices tell producers to invest in other products. This system works well for plums, peaches, cars and most everything we buy.
Vandenheuvel says cows can't be subject to market demand because "there are several years of lead time between when you decide to buy a cow and when that cow produces milk."
I say, so what? It's not "lead time" or being "perishable" or even being "necessary" that makes milk unique. Plums and newspapers are perishable and harvested daily. It takes long lead times to build assembly lines to make cars. No entrepreneur has a guarantee of market demand once the factory is complete. All business is risky.
Give me a break. It's in planned economies, like Venezuela, North Korea and the former Soviet Union that shortages occur. When politicians micromanage markets, consumers suffer.
John Stossel is host of "Stossel" on the Fox Business Network. He's the author of "No They Can't! Why Government Fails, but Individuals Succeed."

Grosvenor? Anyone stayed here? Good/Bad
Find a Conversation
|Fri, 04-27-2007 - 7:46pm
|Sat, 04-28-2007 - 1:55pm
I've heard wonderful things about this hotel. The only reason we haven't checked it out is because of price. I'm sure it's worth its price, but it wasn't worth it for us.
|Tue, 05-01-2007 - 10:31am
We stayed in the Grosvenor in 2001. It is an older place but has been remodeled. It's part hotel/part motel. Tower = hotel and courtyard = motel. If you want an interior entrance, make sure you reserve the right room. I believe courtyard is cheaper. They have a pool or two and a hot tub. It was fairly clean, but older looking. The room we had (courtyard) did not feel much bigger than Pop Century or All Stars (to me, anyway). It was two doubles. They may offer bigger rooms in the tower.
Their breakfast buffet is the best! They have character breakfasts two or three days a week that is included with the regular buffet. The DTD resort buses are nicer buses, more like the greyhound type. However, they don't run as often and if you are going to Magic Kingdom, they let you off at TTC instead of going all the way into MK. Therefore, you have to factor the additional travel time by ferry or monorail.
We've stayed at a Disney resort every year since that stay in the Grosvenor. We just like staying on property. The Grosvenor is a good choice if you want to stay in the DTD resort area. Just remember it is not owned by Disney and you won't get "all" the perks but should still get some of them.
|Tue, 05-01-2007 - 6:12pm
Well, I booked it! I just couldn't keep calling SOG every day hoping for 2 rooms to open.
I got a Florida resident discount so the room totaled $80.10 a night not to include resort fees and tax.
Honestly, I think this will work out nicely. My brother and his wife can go to DTD by themselves (walking) and go out drinking at one of the clubs there if they want and "walk" back home vs driving one of my cars. We will be taking my SUV and my small car from Tampa to Orlando because we all will not fit in 1 car with carseats and suitcases and strollers. In addition if any of us get tired and want to go back to the hotel, the whole group is not stuck at the hotel, whomever (like me) and just walk to DTD vs sitting in the room if I want.
The first night I plan on my 2 teens and my brother going to Disney Quest while his wife and I shop with the younger ones. I am tempted to make a dining reservations for house of blues or something. I mentioned it to my brother but he didn't respond to that part yet. I might go ahead and make the ressie just in case.
