CraftWeek DC April 22-26Date added: 22-04-2009
Local blog DCist has a great post about activities happening during CraftWeek DC, taking place between today, April 22nd and April 26th. Included are studio tours, lectures, a special tour by the curator of the Greene & Greene exhibition at the Renwick and any number of galas and benefits that mainly support the Smithsonian's craft acquisition, research and education programs surrounding contemporary craft.
For fans of Etsy or Sugar Loaf, DC this weekend is going to be a veritable playground.
And don't forget that Hardwood Artisans carries a range of American craft, from Ephraim Faience pottery to Motawi Tileworks decorative tiles to Robert Hargrave's unique sculptural wood clocks and mirrors.
The treasure in our backyardDate added: 15-04-2009
Having the Smithsonian in our backyard is real gift that most of us take for granted. Not only do we get great exhibitions like the Greene & Greene show I wrote about a few weeks ago, we also have a ton of educational opportunities and experts right nearby.
Take today, for instance. I got an email from a customer wondering what to do about a Nakashima dining table she needs restored. She wanted to know if we could help her with it. Now, we're pretty good, but we're not conservators. Though I've had a lot of luck having my own flea market finds refinished by our expert finishers, I think even they would hesitate before taking on a Nakashima table.
The reason I knew this was that I went to a Smithsonian program last year about American craft where they gave some auction estimates for Nakashima, Maloof and other modern studio furniture makers' pieces. Some were, to put it mildly, astronomical and sometimes value can be hurt by refinishing.
So rather than send her the name of our standard refinishing guy and call it a day, I decided to find the phone number for the Lunder Conservation Center at the Smithsonian and see if they could recommend someone. Thanks to the Smithsonian's Twitter person, I got a name and a phone number and met a very nice woman named Julie who put our customer in touch with their conservators. All this took less than half an hour.
So lucky me. I get to make a local phone call the little museum in our backyard and put our customer in touch with some of the foremost furniture conservators in the world.
Nakashima dining table (not the customer's)
Redwood of the EastDate added: 06-04-2009
I was reading an interesting article in the local paper about the American chestnut restoration efforts. The article by Alice Felts, in the Fauquier Times Democrat, discussed efforts by the students, teachers, and arborists to re-introduce a new chestnut tree that is 15/16th's American chestnut, and 1/16th Asian chestnut. The Asian chestnut was the source of the blight that killed all the American chestnuts. As of this writing, the article was not up on the web.
This introduction seems a bit like allergy treatments. They inject you with a bit of the thing that is the problem so that a natural immunity can occur. The efforts by The American Chestnut Foundation, http://www.acf.org/ is very interesting as to how to ever so slightly alter the genetics of the tree to allow it to grow once again. The American chestnut has been described as the "Redwood of the East", a giant of a tree that created huge eco-systems almost single-handedly. Its nuts fed whole communities of wildlife, and its wood a prime source of naturally rot resistant building material.
I'm thinking I need some chestnuts in my forest………
Greene & Greene at the RenwickDate added: 03-04-2009
Two weeks ago, I made it out to the Renwick Gallery to see the Greene & Greene show. After some slight confusion on my part as to where it's actually located (hint—it's right behind the Old Executive Office Building), I was quite pleased with the quality of the exhibition, but since I had gotten lost, I didn't have enough time to read everything before the museum closed for the night.
Not only did they have a great collection of letters and photographs, they also showed some of the original architectural plans. The level of detail the Greenes went to on those plans was quite OCD—plans for all the lighting, furniture, stained glass—very much in the vein of Frank Lloyd Wright. These were architects with Vision.
As usual though, my favorite part was the furniture. Of course, pictures can't do it justice. It's so difficult to reproduce the glow of wood photographically, especially when you add 100 years of patina. So here are some of the highlights courtesy of the Gamble House website.

Most of these pieces are from their early to mid-career, but what surprised me most about this later piece was how modern it looks. Take away the leaded glass and it really starts to look more like part of the Modernist movement than the Arts & Crafts movement.
All in all, the best way to see these pieces is in person. So if you're anywhere near DC, I highly recommend that you check out the exhibit before it closes on June 7th. Here's the Smithsonian page on the exhibition, with a link to the online exhibition produced by the Gamble House.
Shop Local: Etsy DCDate added: 25-03-2009
Anyone who has been reading this blog for any length of time knows that I love Etsy, the online marketplace for vintage goods and crafts of all sorts. In the spirit of The 3/50 Project, today I thought I'd share some of my favorite local Etsy sellers and introduce you to a neat feature Etsy implemented a while ago called Shop Local.
Here is Jason McClellan of Sidewinder Studio, who also works here at Hardwood Artisans.
And Annie of imogene., who made the tree-shaped earrings customers always ask me about when I wear them in the showrooms.
And finally, Rania of shoofly, who I have featured before, but is is currently showing some gorgeous Moleskine notebooks.
So not only can you now shop handmade, you can also shop local.
Happy Etsying!
The 3/50 ProjectDate added: 24-03-2009
We've talked about supporting local businesses here on the blog before. In fact, the business that we originally featured (Black Wolf Coffee in Warrenton) has just announced that it is shutting down for good.
Mark is, to put it mildly, heart-broken.
It's such a sad fact of this economy that the first to go will not be the local Starbucks or Barnes & Noble, but that wonderful independent bookstore you love (as beloved Washington chain Olsson's Books and Records closed last year) or the coffee house where they always remember what you order and start making it for you when they see you pull into the parking lot.
Enter The 3/50 Project. Started by Cinda Baxter at the Always Upward blog, the 3/50 Project asks supporters to commit to spending $50 per month at three local stores of your choice. It's such a simple concept, but look how powerful it could be:
I've signed up. So should you.
Time to Step UpDate added: 11-03-2009
You and I may be doing fine, but with unemployment at over 8%, a lot of people could use a little extra help right now.
An article in our local paper (the News and Messenger, not the Post) down here in Woodbridge underscored the need for giving what you can right now, especially to food banks.
For several months now, Hardwood Artisans has had a partnership with ACTS (Action in the Community Through Service), a Dumfries, Virginia-based non-profit organization. It started with a furniture donation drive over the holidays to support their thrift stores.
Next month, Hardwood Artisans will be hosting the Prince William Regional Chamber of Commerce Business After Hours at our workshop in Woodbridge. We have requested that those attending bring a non-perishable food item for donation to ACTS. It's a small thing, but every little bit counts.
So if you're attending, don't forget to bring that canned good! And if you're not, consider dropping by a local food bank or church. They'll be happy to take your donation.
LuxuryDate added: 03-03-2009
My lovely wife, Erika, has been laying her clothes on the bathroom floor for the last few weeks. No, she hasn't gone insane, at least not in the traditional sense of the word.
When we built our home eight years ago, we added a few "luxury" things, like a heated floor system in the master bath. We had some problems with the system initially, so we didn't use it much until this year.
So, I got up this morning to 12 degree weather, snow and ice everywhere, and winds of 30mph. After taking a ridiculously hot shower – the kind that takes skin off, I hop out to slide into warm socks…and jeans…and shirt. There is very little in this world that is better than the feeling of being engulfed by warmth, especially on a morning like this one.
I felt bad having splurged on a heated floor and the electricity it consumes, until I remember that my lovely wife, Erika, has yet to turn on the heater this year! The wood stove is working overtime for sure. Tabby, our cat, really appreciates the heated floor too.
While it seems like an unnecessary cost, the actual cost of running the heated floor is about the same as leaving on a table lamp. This versus the cost of running a heating system in a house makes the heated floor seem like a good, not so luxurious, item to splurge on.
While many people consider our furniture a luxury, I never have. I consider it a good value. To me this means something that lasts, is appreciated often, and has more value for the purchaser than the cost of the item itself.
The Power of the InternetDate added: 27-02-2009
The web is a funny thing. Some days I can't find what I want and I think all this online stuff is just a big waste of time. (I sound like Mark, don't I? No, this is Alison.)
But other days, I think it's great. (That's better.)
For those of you who don't know, Hardwood Artisans is also on Twitter. What's Twitter? It's like a blog, but everything has to be said in 140 characters or less. It's an interesting mode of communication because it requires you to be concise. Sometimes I feel like I'm back in 11th grade English with Mrs. Avery telling me to eliminate all flowery language. No adverbs! No infinitives! If you use "however" or "anyway" you will be shot!
Anyway, this week, I sent one of Tom Heath's Washington Post columns over to a guy named Ben McConnell, who wrote "Creating Customer Evangelists". He then sent it out to all the people who read him as a great example of marketing coverage by mainstream media, giving me credit. If you're a rock music fan, this is like being acknowledged by Mick Jagger or Eric Clapton. Wow.
Next, Mark was trying to design a piece of furniture for a customer that involves round legs. Since we don't usually do round legs, we were going to have to buy them from someone who does, but we couldn't find an appropriate supplier. Luckily, I happened to have met someone on Twitter a few weeks ago who does hand-turned wooden furniture legs: Within just a couple of hours, I had a drawing, I had a price and they told me they could mail them out today if I wanted them that fast. Wow again.
Just when my faith is lagging, something like this happens and all is right with the world again.
P.S. You can follow us on Twitter @furnituregirl.
The story of sycamoreDate added: 12-02-2009
For years and years, our founder, Greg Gloor, worked with a lumber mill to purchase quarter-sawn sycamore. Above, that's a picture of what quarter-sawn sycamore looks like at its best. Between us and another manufacturer in Vermont, the mill hoped to be able to sell enough of this not-very-popular wood to make drying it in quantity a profitable operation.
However, sycamore is hard to dry. It is prone to what is called "blue stain"—an infection in the wood that cause the surface of the board to turn, essentially, blue—and a couple of loads of stained wood killed the market. Stained wood of this type becomes virtually useless, as it isn't pretty enough for anything but painting. The mill couldn't get the prices they needed as a result and stopped the production of quarter-sawn sycamore.
We went through a period of time trying to cobble together enough stock from other suppliers to keep using it as a secondary wood in our drawers and an accent wood on other pieces, but only about five percent of the mills in the entire country quarter-saw lumber, making it very difficult to secure the quantity we need at a price we could afford.
We tried valiantly, but in the end, we had to give up. Ash is cut by many more mills and is competitively priced so finally, the Board decided to make the switch. We'd been phasing out the sycamore-sided pieces over the last year or so, but it has been taking too long so we finally decided to sell them off all at once.
We've also got a few pieces that have discontinued fabrics on them or that have been in the showrooms for a while. Click over to the floor model list and see what treasures you can unearth for your home!

Ed note: This is guest post by Feministing Editor Emeritus Courtney E. Martin
I've spent part of my time this fall as part of a team that created TEDxWomen's third annual gathering. The event is a wild one–a day and half of packed programming in Washington D.C. with over 150 local self-organized events tuning in via live stream from every time zone in the world. That's 150,000 potential people listening in at any given time.
So, obviously, the planning committee takes our speaker selections experience pretty seriously. We poured over a wide range of possible speakers, trying to discern how each would fit best into the various themed sessions. It's a complex process–more an art than a science, as one might imagine. This year, there was one trend in particular that I found really interesting and I wanted to highlight it–not just to give props to those involved–but to offer it as a learning that other feminist guys (of which I know we have so many reading this blog) might consider.
First, there was Jose Antonio Vargas, now infamous for "coming out" as an undocumented immigrant in the pages of the New York Times Sunday Magazine in June 2011. Jose and I have become friends and I immediately thought that he would make a great speaker, as I know how much he attributes his survival in this country to what he calls the "21st century underground railroad" of mostly women (like his music teacher) that helped him along the way.
Jose considered the invitation, but then he got me on the phone and he said, "Courtney, I really want to make every effort I can to share leadership in this immigrant rights movement. There are so many amazing young women who are phenomenal speakers and proven activists. Would you consider one of them?"
It took my breath away. Here was a guy, with an opportunity to speak to nearly 150,000 people, who was choosing to prioritize his commitment to collective, feminist leadership for a movement he loves. Of course I said yes. Jose introduced me and, as I coached the truly incredible Gaby Pacheco through the experience, he was sending supportive texts and even re-arranged his travel so he could be there to witness her incredible talk:
Talk about feminist mentoring.
Another friend, Andrew Slack, Founder and Executive Director of the Harry Potter Alliance, introduced me to his Creative Media Coordinator, a badass vlogger a decade younger than him, and suggested I consider her for future speaking opportunities. When I realized that a panel that I was moderating on women and tech was chock full of political experts but missing a cultural entrepreneur, I thought of Lauren Bird and reached out. She was one of the freshest, most fascinating voices that day, and I have Andrew to thank for that, too.
And finally, when I suggested that Eboo Patel, Founder and Executive Director of the Interfaith Youth Core, speak, he graciously accepted, but he did so while mentioning, "I actually have a policy by which I try not to be away from my family on weekends." He recognized that this was a unique opportunity to honor the women that have raised him, both literally in the case of his grandmother, and via words and ideas in the case of Dorothy Day, so he came along and spoke so eloquently about both of them:
His willingness to come was appreciated, but his unabashed commitment to his family was really heartening. It made me feel like my personal experience is real, if not universal; the next generation of men is so much more committed to being effective leaders in and outside the home.
This was, at the end of the day, a conference about women's power, women's solutions, women's voices, but as with all questions of gender, it was a conference that articulated so many ways in which women's fate is inextricably tied up with men's. I'm certainly glad these are the kinds of men that I call friends and collaborators.

'Glee's' Hot Girl-On-Girl Kiss! (VIDEO)
While Glee fans eagerly await Kurt's first boyfriend, they were treated to a special same-sex tryst on last night's episode when Santana (Naya Rivera) and Brittany (Heather Morris) were spotted getting frisky.
The Cheerio "besties with benefits" have been hinting to a sexual history since season one. In the "Sectionals" episode, the two revealed that they had slept together and they are often seen holding hands and cuddling.
However, while the two have no problem experimenting, their sapphic moments don't reveal a deeper love for each other, as Santana explained to Brittany on last night's episode.
Watch Santana and Brittany make out below.
'Glee' Photos Galore: 'Rocky Horror' Sneak Peek | Stars We'd Love to See on 'Glee'
Santana tells Brittany that she is only making out with her because Puck has been locked up in juvenile detention and she "needs something warm beneath [her] to digest [her] food." Brittany seems a little hurt that Santana doesn't take their girl-on-girl moments seriously and hints that she may have serious feeling for her cheerleading pal.
Do you think Santana and Brittany will become a real couple on Glee? Share your predictions below.

I'm an icelandic mum with a music addiction so bad that it's just ridiculous. A teenager in the 80s with probably half of my music library dedicated to that era (I have over 10.000 songs in my library). A general nerd all in all. I like humans who are humane. I refuse to fit in. I do what I like, I wear what I like, I listen to what I like. Proud not to ever be called "normal". I dance like a loon because I don't know how to dance any other way.

Patents for 360-degree surveillance company up for grabs
Fairfax, VA - September 28, 2006 – The U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, Alexandria Division approved the Bidding Procedures and the bid deadline date of Monday, October 23 at 4:00 p.m. (EST) for receipt of sealed-bid submissions in the liquidation of IPIX Corporation, a public company whose patented 360-degree surveillance technology takes on heightened importance in an era of global terrorist attacks and security breaches.
Additionally, the Court entered an Order that IPIX may resume limited operations and reactivate its website for IPIX customers, according to the court-appointed trustee, Donald F. King, an attorney with Odin Feldman and Pittleman, PC, in Fairfax, VA.
The Reston, VA based company filed a voluntary petition for relief under Chapter 7 of the United States Bankruptcy Code on July 31 (Case No. 06-10856) and ceased all operations until the new bankruptcy court ruling came down, allowing IPIX to generate revenue again from sources including ipixstore.com. Certain ex-IPIX employees have been temporarily rehired by the Trustee to assist with these efforts.
Another new development in the liquidation of IPIX is the uncovering of additional assets since the initial bankruptcy filing, according to Stephen Karbelk, sales agent for the trustee and the auction process. Based in Fairfax, VA, Karbelk is the Regional President for Tranzon Fox, an affiliate of the national auction organization, Tranzon, LLC.
"Assets really span the spectrum, from the simple to the complex, which really widens the base of potential bidders. Interested parties may submit bids for individual patents or trademarks, including the IPIX brand, or pursue a much higher investment level and pursue entire business units, such as the Digital Still Photography business, or the entire company" says Karbelk.
"There are approximately 38 U.S. patents owned by IPIX in addition to other patents registered with the European Union and other nations. IPIX's core technology – as well as seven different trademarks and the IPIX name and logo – are all available for purchase."
A burgeoning commercial business complemented the military side, as industries used the technology to enhance their operations. Realtors, for example, installed the software and technology to offer virtual tours of properties and retailers bought IPIX products to bring added safety and anti-theft measures to store locations. The 360° Digital Immersive Video business is ideally suited for retail store surveillance. Prior to the bankruptcy, IPIX successfully completed a pilot program with three Fortune 50 retail companies.
The asset list includes IPIX assets such as the 360° Digital Immersive Video business line, including the CommandView™ product line; the Still Photography business line, including the Host@IPIX self-service management for immersive image distribution; and the Gigapixel Camera patents, an experimental high-resolution camera developed through a federal government research project. Additional patents that were not part of IPIX's core business, including the Omniview Motionless Camera Endoscopy System – as well as a host of others – also are included in the list.
IPIX earned an international reputation for the quality of its high-resolution digital 360° video cameras and immersive still photography business. Its patented technology has the ability to provide complete video coverage -- ideal for homeland security purposes -- including airport surveillance, U.S. border management and military operations.
"We expect buyers of these assets will be able to maximize the full potential of IPIX's patented technologies as well as continue to grow the IPIX customer base. By offering the assets by business line, we give every buyer, regardless of their level of interest, the opportunity to make bids," says Karbelk.

"Rick's decision to certify XOCO as a green building makes good sense given his well known passion for using local and organic food," said Doug Farr, President of Farr Associates.
The narrow restaurant space features a mix of conventional and communal seating and an exposed kitchen designed to invoke the open, interactive nature of purchasing food from a street vendor. Green features include greater envelope insulation featuring increased R-value storefronts, Energy Star roofing and appliances, fluorescent and LED lighting, FSC certified wood products and low-VOC materials made of recycled content that are regionally available.
Designed for daylighting, customers found the space full of natural light. Where additional light is needed, occupancy sensors and dimming controls reduce energy demand. In addition, water use is reduced an exceptional 40% over baseline standards, through low-flow plumbing fixtures.
"The design of XOCO is a continuation of the many green practices that Rick has always done—healthy and organic," notes Farr.
Located next to his award winning restaurants Topolobampo and Frontera Grill, XOCO features authentic Mexican "street food." Meals made using all electric appliances and induction pilotless cooktops for reduced space cooling. Variable volume vent hoods reduce energy usage by almost half during times when hoods function in low/no action periods.
Chef Rick Bayless commented, "Designing and certifying the restaurant to green building standards honors our commitment to sustainability. I was impressed with the efficient lighting and kitchen equipment that is now available and delighted by the local and green finishes that Farr proposed."
Gone are the days of non-recyclable plastic take-out containers. All take-out customers are finding their food wrapped in compostable materials, or materials made from natural products such as corn, cellulose or soy that do not emit toxins when they breakdown. Eat-in diners use silverware and dishware, a change for those used to eating at take-out establishments with plastic "sporks." Food waste is composted and cooking grease is recycled to power a local waste recycler/composter vehicle fleet while the very food diners eat includes peppers and tomatoes grown on the 1,000 SF rooftop garden.

Rated 3.9 out of 5 by 770 reviewers.
Rated 3 out of 5 by MSJohn Very average for trhew price I was disappointed that a hotel of this stature would not provide as daily newspaper or place my bill under the door the night before checkout. i would say that the staff was minimally responsive and rather unhelpful when I made reservations. July 11, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by TNTravellers a great place to stay We are SO glad we chose the Boston Sheraton! We had contemplated other hotels, closer to the Freedom Trail, etc., but we are pleased we chose the Sheraton. Our room was quiet, comfortable and clean. Check in was a breeze. The hotel is adjacent to the Prudential Shopping Mall and the subway station making it very convenient to restaurants, shopping and transportation. Also, our teen daughter says the rollaway was comfortable! June 23, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by sydney09 This hotel has excellent service Our stay in the hotel was very full filling. The staff is very helpful, room was excellent and well kept. The restaurant offers excellent food. Hats off for keeping STARBUCKS inside the hotel!!! July 12, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by Jim00 My thoughts First impressions of the lobby area was not good, not the wow factor I was expecting for a Sheraton. Also, the room we had was so small with small doors. barely room for two to get around. We do have a Sheraton Hotel where we live, and it is beautiful. Lets just say I was disappointed. July 7, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Marie227 Beautiful hotel! We stayed at this property for the second time in 2 years for a large dance convention taking place adjacent to the hotel. We brought our young daughter and 2 small dogs, as we did last year, the hotel staff is very welcoming and made us feel right at home. Traveling with dogs often brings out the worst in the hospitality industry and we have always been made to feel welcome in this beautiful hotel. This is a large hotel right in the heart of Boston and, understandably, attracts huge events with many participants. Given this fact, the accomodations are very restful and very quiet! Confortable quiet accomodations luxurious linens, fabulous fitness facility, all within steps of all that Boston has to offer! Will definitely return! December 9, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by JHelen Nice room but a few things are missing from the hotel The room was comfortable and, for the most part, clean. The desk chair and other furniture were in good condition. In other hotels, the desk chair and other furniture are frequently worn or damaged. This was not the case here. The room was kept up. Disappointments were -- dirty toilet seat (YUCK!), Coasters under glasses by ice bucket and coffee maker needed to be replaced. The hotel was also lacking the basic convenience of vending machines for easy access to chips, sodas, etc. Or perhaps a little store for late-night snacks (could be operated by desk staff). One shouldn't have to order room service at 3am for a soda. Room service menu lacked variety and was extremely expensive. The easy access to the wonderful mall was a huge plus! Starbucks in the lobby was way too expensive (so what else is new). $8 for orange juice and a bagel. Walk to the mall and pay <$4 for the same thing. Hotel is far from historical landmarks and other points of interest, but good for conferences (Convention Center attached). Easy access to Legal Seafoods in the Mall is GREAT! I got takeout twice! But most of the restaurants are chains. July 12, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by VJVIS Excellent location, Great rooms, facilities, Highly Recommended The only reason I gave it four stars for room comfort is because I don't like the really fluffy pillows, and they don't have anything firmer. The reason facilities didn't get five stars is because the hot tub was removed after a recent renovation, otherwise the fitness facilites and the swimming pool are the best you can find in this class of a hotel. The staff can be great, but also nonchalant sometimes. They will attend to your needs immediately, but may not be overtly friendly all the time. The issues I have are minor and I highly recommend this hotel. December 23, 2011
Rated 2 out of 5 by Mensate Far Too Expensive Had a junior suite. Big but the extra space was dead space in the foyer. No refrigerator. No other amenities. Staff was very good. No restaurant. Connection to Prudential Center was very convenient but the hotel is far far too expensive for what it offers. July 7, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by LOUZIS61 WONDERFUL HOTEL AT A GREAT LOCATION HAD A LOVELY FIVE NIGHTS STAY AT THE BOSTON SHERATON. WHILE BEING A 4 STAR HOTEL,IT HAD THE FACILITIES AND AMENITIES OF A 5 STAR HOTEL. STAFF VERY POLITE,FRIENDLY AND HELPFUL. THE CLUB ROOMS ARE GREAT VALUE FOR MONEY. EVERYTHING IN WORKING ORDER SO MY STAY WAS HASSLE-FREE. ALL THE SIGHTS WERE EITHER WITHIN WALKING DISTANCE OR EASILY ACCESSIBLE. BEING CONNECTED TO THE PRUDENTIAL CENTER,ALSO AN EXTRA PLUS. WOULD RECOMMEND THIS HOTEL HIGHLY AND WOULD DEFINITELY STAY HERE AGAIN. June 5, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Bangorian Outstanding Stay We recently spent two nights at the Boston Sheraton to celebrate a birthday and attend a concert. When making the reservation, I mentioned the reason for our trip, not imaging that anyone would make a note of it, or go out of their way to help us make the stay special. When we arrived we learned that we had been booked in the most gorgeous suite we have ever stayed in. The staff were gracious and friendly and even sent up a birthday card. I cannot thank the staff enough. This hotel is not only perfectly situated for a family like ours (we have two boys), but the facilities are clean, spacious and staff by friendly people who want you to have a nice time. Our experience this weekend has made me a permanent fan of the Boston Sheraton. September 26, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Susan321 Excellent for large group meetings The conference facilities were very spacious. The staff in the lobby restaurant were outstanding, which elevated a routine dinner to delightful! FYI- north tower rooms very small, but close to activities; south tower more modern and spacious, but long walk to lobby. July 6, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by iskortch Good Location, but needs better cleanliness Hotel itself is nice. Rooms are small. At first look cleanliness looks good, but then you begin to notice the brown splatters on the wall, the cracked mirror, the peeling tub, the loose handles on dressers/drawers, etc. They need to spend some money on the detail maintenance. Staff is friendly and professional. I would research other hotels next time I am in Boston before considering this one. June 24, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by FrankJ68 Elevators & pool The elevators were abysmally slow. And the pool was cloudy / disgusting. There's no reason not to be able to see the bottom of a swimming pool!! July 11, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by cbardy Great hotel Great service, great room...would stay again. July 14, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by rkhillyer Nice stay,nice location! Just got back from staying At the Sheaton Boston from 12/29 - 1/1/12. Had a club room suite which was very nice overlooking the Charles river.Only issue was that we were charged $12.95 per day for internet service which is susposed to be complimentary in the club rooms. Front desk person said she was going to take it off my bill(which hasn't happened). Also, it would be beneficial if there was some sort of humidifer system in the rooms. The forced hot air dries out your system. In the morning you feel as if you have a mouth/noseful of dried concrete. January 4, 2012
Rated 2 out of 5 by shalala2002 Cleaning needs to be improved I stayed at this hotel for a trade show/conference. The bathroom was the dirtiest I have ever experienced. The grout in tile shower had black and red mold throughout. The walls of the bath room were just plain dirty. It honestly looked like the bathroom had only superficial cleaning for a year. What is worse is that I notified the hotel staff by personally visting the front desk and informing them of the issue. They apoligized and said they would have it cleaned. They had 8 hours to clean the bathroom but when I returned to my room I saw no difference. I am not a clean freak, but if you are paying high rates for a room, it better be clean. I stay about 50 nights/year at and have NEVER experienced this, even at lower end properties. October 1, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by ICA60 Excellent location, pleasant amenities A corner room provided an amazing view and spaciousness. Accepting the upgrade offer for the Executive Lounge was a great choice. We used the Lounge several times for breakfast and afternoon refreshments. The Concierge was also very helpful in arranging tours, advising on shows and transportation options. The location could not be beat. Would definitely recommend the property. June 25, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Roobear Great Stay Quick trip but comfortable and a nice hotel July 13, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by Tracy222 Great location The hotel has a great location - walk to Fenway Park, shopping and restaurants. Also, easy access to the subway. However, the parking is excessive ($49.00 per night). The room did not have a refrigerator which was disappointing. Also, you can not take outside alcohol to your room. The pool wasn't clean or warm but the kids enjoyed it. Great views of the city. Overall, the hotel was comfortable and we enjoyed our stay. June 18, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Cuddles1 Room comfort The shade lets too much light into the room on the sides. You need a valance on both sides of the shade. July 11, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by SPGPilot Thin Walls Marred my Visit During my stay I had three sets of multiple guests who stayed in the room next to mine. One of them had a dog who moaned and scratched on the door every time they left the room. I could hear every word they spoke, and one of the guests was presumably a performer who exercised her voice "la la la la la la la, fa fa fa fa fa fa fa.." you get the idea. I thought it might have only been my room, but speaking to other guests in the hotel they stated the same. Thin walls. Otherwise a delightful stay in a very nice hotel. April 29, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by lasttimeatthishotel Service is King here This hotel has got it right..they understand the art of good customer service and they consistently deliver. I have stayed here over a dosen times and they have never failed to provide the untmost in great customer service. Well done!! July 5, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by RafKam A Well-Located Mammoth Apart from location, I am struggling to find too many positives about this hotel. From the long lines at check-in, to the massive crowds attending numerous events and conventions, and the endless waits for an elevator in the mornings (plan ahead), I see little reason to actively want to stay at this hotel. What's more, it seems to be way overpriced and is often fully booked. Rooms are fairly spacious but outdated. There is good Platinum recognition, but the Club Lounge is not much to write home about. The location, and the fact that it's connected to the Prudential Center is the main draw. A special mention to staff as well which is very helpful. All in all, if you are after a soulless, larger-than-average Sheraton, this one fits the bill. April 19, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by MensaS Internet, food, a/c Our room was pretty and comfortable. The internet in the lobby was very slow. It was almost unusable. The food for the Mensa event was poor. It was all simple carbs and sugar. The meeting rooms were frigid. July 6, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by pandaexpres Dirty sheets, broken room door, tiny bathroom I wonder where these other guests stayed. I stayed in room 2760 (south tower) and 2819 (north tower) and here's my experience 1) Completely broken reservation system and incompetent front desk that could not fix issues for a very long time - spent HOURS downstairs trying to fix names on rooms, check in and check out dates. This after spending 4 days on the phone with reservations and their broken system. Unbelievable?! 2) Dirty sheets - yes stained, dirty sheets - so grosssss 3) Broken room door - door would not close properly 4) Really expensive room service. $40 for breakfast?! 5) Putting only trainees at front desk with no fully trained people in sight. All in all a complete nightmare stay that was more stressful than just staying at home. August 13, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Lin100 Very Comfortable and Friendly Hotel My husband and I flew from England to spend our 40th wedding anniversary in Boston, what a wonderful hotel with truly friendly staff. We would like to mention Amy, who is an absolute credit to The Sheraton Hotel. We booked some sighseeing tours with her, and she was very knowledgeable and nothing was too much trouble, when we mentioned that it was our anniversary she arranged for us to be upgraded to a suite, it was very special. She even left a message for her colleague to contact us in our room to check it was okay. Terrific customer service! The hotel was very comfortable and the lobby has a lovely welcoming feel to it. All in all The Sheraton Boston was what made our whole trip special. Well done, will definitely be recommending to others. September 30, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by Arose Good stay. I arrived to the property at noon on a Sunday and my room wasn't ready. The front desk gave me a pass to the fitness center so I was able to take advantage of the area for a good run. When I returned, my room was still not ready, and I was up against a time commitment and expressed that politely, but the trainee at the front desk could sense my frustration. She asked for help from her manager and they were able to get me into a room on the 28th floor. I suspect that it was an upgrade since it had a seating area and beautiful views of the city. In the end, I was able to get into the room in time to shower and get ready to meet my business obligation. The staff was very friendly and provided good service- especially in the lounge. I would return! September 26, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by ExMarrGSO The best Starwood Property in Boston! Location, location, location!! If that's not enough, the staff is superb, excellent pool/fitness area and you can go easily to Cambridge, the South End, the North End, Back Bay, Kenmore Square or just take the "T" anywhere. The Dining and Shopping just outside the Hotel is fantastic enough that you may not get to the other areas of Boston! The Guest Rooms are newly appointed with excellent views of the Charles River as well as a fabulous Club Level on the Top Floor. If you are in Boston for any reason, this Starwood Hotel is a sure bet!! January 9, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by MensaMikey Nice Place to Stay Great bed, great sleep. Only thing that didn't work was the exhaust fan in the bathroom. Otherwise, everything was fine. July 7, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by Roland00 Some great parts, some disappointments I had a 1 bedroom suite in the Boston Sheraton hotel for 1 night and was grateful for my short stay. Good points: check-in/check-out was flawless, room decor is nice, and room was perfectly clean. Bad points: only one of the two rooms' thermostats worked, only one of two TV remote controls worked, 3 calls to room service went unanswered, and room layout is terrible - bathroom door clears the front of the toilet by less than 6 inches, other doors in entrance bump each other, closet tiny... Over all not a good value and one I won't repeat. October 29, 2012

Jordan Mason
Nov. 9, 2011
By Danny Mattie
Athletic Media Relations
FORT COLLINS, Colo. – Colorado State men's basketball Head Coach Tim Miles announced the signings of Jordan Mason and Jermaine Morgan to National Letters of Intent on Wednesday, the first day of the NCAA early signing period.
"I'm very excited to announce that Jordan and Jermaine will both be attending Colorado State next season," said Miles. "These two young men are great signings for the Rams, and my staff and I look forward to welcoming them to CSU."
Jordan Mason | 6-2/175 |Guard | Ennis, Texas (Ennis High School)
Mason, who was recruited by Rams' assistant Craig Smith, is a highly touted scoring guard from Ennis High School in Ennis, Texas, where he plays for his father Jerry Mason. Regarded as one of the top prospects in the state of Texas, Mason ranks No. 13 in the state and is rated nationally as a three-star recruit by TexasHoops.com and Rivals.com. Mason has scored 1,885 points in his first three seasons, averaging 21.5 points per game, to go along with four assists, four rebounds and two steals per contest. As a junior in 2010-11, he led the Lions to a 26-6 record. He is a three-time all-district performer and returns for his senior year after earning district MVP honors on a team that is ranked No. 9 in class 4A by MaxPreps.com and No. 14 by Texashoops.com.
Miles on Mason: "Jordan is a play-making guard that can score in any fashion. He can shoot the three from deep, has a great pull-up game, and can finish in the paint and get fouled. He is the type of player that can make plays for others, or himself, at the end of the shot clock. Jordan is a very good defender on the ball and rebounds well for a guard. He is the prototype coach's son; he is a gym rat, accepts coaching, and is always looking for ways to improve. We are thrilled that Jordan is joining the CSU basketball program."
|Jermaine Morgan
Jermaine Morgan | 6-8/210 | Forward | Chicago, Ill. (Whitney M. Young High School)
Morgan will join the Rams from Chicago, where he previously played for current CSU assistant coach Ronald Coleman at Whitney M. Young High School and AAU Mac Irvin Fire. Morgan, ranked as a three-star recruit by Rivals.com, is rated nationally as a top-40 power forward and the No. 15 player in talent-rich Illinois class of 2012. He averaged 10.6 points, 10 rebounds and 2.6 blocks per game as a junior in 2010-11, helping his team to a regional championship and city runner-up finish. Morgan was part of an Illinois state championship as a freshman in 2008-09 and helped his team to a state runner-up finish during his sophomore campaign. As a senior in 2011-12 he will anchor a team that is ranked in the top five in the state of Illinois and No. 34 nationally by ESPN.
Miles on Morgan: "We are very excited to add a player like Jermaine Morgan. He's the true meaning of a 'GATA GUY.' Jermaine has been battle-tested through his experiences in great AAU and high school programs. He is a player that's going to make an impact on our program at CSU. He is long and athletic, has a great motor, and plays with tenacious energy. I love his nose for the ball. Jermaine blocks shots and rebounds well. He's a quality kid that our fans will fall in love with, and I am look forward to coaching a player of his caliber."
In addition to Mason and Morgan, the 2012-13 season will also see a return to the court for talented transfers Daniel Bejarano and Colton Iverson, who will sit out 2011-12 after coming to CSU from the University of Arizona and the University of Minnesota, respectively.

This session reviews the evolution of Internet Information Services (IIS) to its current iteration -- version 6.0 -- and how IIS 6.0 has measured up to customer expectations since its release in April 2003. IIS 6.0 built on a new architecture, but this architecture has a few areas where improvements can be built-in. The system administration capabilities include a new Edit-While-Running feature but the metabase has a difficult to read XML schema. The scalability lacks a clear path above 8 processors and IIS needs to optimize performance in this area. Up to, and including all of these, IIS 6.0 is a new and revolutionary product. This session will cover the delta between what was delivered and what has been learned and help you our customer know the areas where Microsoft needs to build for future IIS versions.
With Visual Studio.NET you can't create a custom IIS virtual directory with exactly the settings you want when you want to add a Web Application to a solution. I found myself dealing with this inconvenience so often, I finally decided to do something about it. I created an Addin solution that will pop up a form, allow you to choose (and even create) a physical folder, set the various properties for your VRoot that you would normally be required to do separately from the IIS Management Console, and then when you are ready to add your new web application, all you need to do is change the default "WebApplication1" to the name of your new VRoot, and you are "good to go".
IIS has a SMTP Server, but not a POP3 Server. Companies have been led to believe they need MS Exchange Server, when in fact they don't. If your companies needs are modest, you may only need a POP3 Server.
This POP3 server is perfect for small to medium sized companies that want to take control of their email environment, but without the complexities, cost and frustration of expensive solutions like MS Exchange Server. You must have MS Internet Information Server (IIS) installed and the SMTP Service installed and working correctly.
IISPassword brings the ease and power of Apache's htaccess to Microsoft IIS. No longer is there a need for system user accounts and complex access permissions for maintaining a secure, password protected web site.
IISPassword uses Basic HTTP Authentication for password protecting web sites on IIS, just like htaccess works on Apache. That makes your password protected Apache web site compatible with IIS, and vice versa.
A powerful and intuitive interface makes it possible to password protect a web site in just moments. More advanced settings provide options such as user group management and protection of certain file types.
Version 3.4 of IIS State has been released - this tool allows you to look into the process (e.g. InetInfo.exe) and dumps out all of the running threads. For each thread, it will attempt to identify what type of thread is running. If the thread is an ASP worker thread, then it will attempt to identify the page the is executing. Very useful for debugging Hangs/Crashes, or 100% CPU issues.

Performance Starts at the Web ServerBy Port80 SoftwareThis paper outlines a common sense, cost-effective approach to lowering total cost of ownership and improving Web site and Web application performance according to two simple principles:
We will explore "best practice" strategies that can be systematically employed in Web front-end source code and at the origin server in order to achieve performance improvements. These basic strategies, which all avoid expensive hardware solutions in favor of software and business process enhancements, include:
Many businesses have the need or requirement to host multiple Web applications on a single Web server. In such circumstances, the features of Microsoft Windows Server 2003 and Internet Information Services (IIS) 6.0 can help create effective boundaries between applications. This allows Web administrators to secure the resources for one application from being accessed by other applications and to implement performance and reliability features built in to the operating system and IIS 6.0. When designing Microsoft .NET Framework applications, isolation and reliability can be taken a step further through the use of isolated application design and side-by-side assemblies. This paper presents an overview of the benefits, methods, technologies, and considerations involved in configuring isolated applications.
Computer security has become increasingly important to businesses and other organizations. As the value and importance of data stored on computers grows, so does the cost when critical data or systems are damaged, stolen, or compromised. Microsoft is committed to meeting our customers' needs for increased information systems security. This paper describes Microsoft's ongoing commitment to improving the security of its products, and how that commitment has driven security improvements in Internet Information Services (IIS) 6.0. IIS 6.0 is a powerful Web server service that helps provide a reliable, manageable, scalable, and secure Web application infrastructure.

With IIS 6.0 Manager for Windows XP, administrators can remotely manage an IIS 6.0 server from a Windows XP Professional workstation. This tool only installs a snap-in for Microsoft Management Console and its associated DLLs and documentation; it does not install the complete IIS 6.0 server on your local computer.
Deploying Internet Information Services (IIS) 6.0 - Free from MicrosoftThis book provides prescriptive, task-based, and scenario-based guidance to help you design an IIS 6.0 solution and then deploy that solution — be it a new installation, upgrade, or migration — within your organization.
IIS6 Administration by Mitch TullochMitch Tulloch's previous book Administering IIS4 was the top book in the Windows NT Bestsellers List on Amazon for over a year.

Serves 4
Preparation 10 minutes
Cooking 12 minutes
Ingredients for avocado and eggplant stacks
1 large eggplant, about 400 g
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 clove garlic, crushed
grated zest of 1 lemon and
juice of ½ lemon
2 firm ripe avocados
250 g haloumi cheese
25 g flaked almonds
Preparation for avocado and eggplant stacks
1. Preheat the grill to the hottest setting and line the grill pan with foil. Trim and cut the eggplant into 12 slices. Place the eggplant on the foil. Mix the oil and garlic and brush sparingly over the eggplant. Grill for 4 minutes, or until just beginning to brown in places. Turn over, brush with more oil and grill for a further 4 minutes, or until tender.
2. Put the lemon zest and juice in a shallow non-metallic dish. Cut the avocados into quarters. Peel and cut each quarter into three slices, coating them in the lemon juice to prevent discolouration. Cut the haloumi into 12 slices.
3. Sprinkle the almonds over the eggplant and arrange three avocado slices, with the lemon zest, on each. Top each stack with a slice of haloumi and brush with any remaining oil. Grill for 4 minutes, or until the cheese browns.
Cook's tips:
• For a balanced stack, layer up a large slice of eggplant, then a medium slice of avocado and finally a small slice of cheese. If top-heavy, the stacks will topple over.
• If the heat is not evenly distributed under the grill, rearrange the eggplant slices when turning them so that they brown all over.
Each serving provides:
• 1946 kJ • 465 kcal • 16 g protein • 42 g fat of which 15 g saturates • 6 g carbohydrates of which 4 g sugars • 6 g fibre
Alternative ingredients:
• Try Indian paneer or mozzarella cheese instead of the haloumi. Paneer retains a similarly firm texture during cooking, but the mozzarella will melt.
• If you do not have a fresh lemon, use 2 tablespoons of bottled lemon juice. The recipe will taste just as good but with a slightly less zingy flavour.
• Use pine nuts instead of the flaked almonds.
• Sliced tomatoes can be grilled on top of the eggplant – include them instead of the almonds or the avocado slices. Use 1–2 tomato slices for each slice of eggplant.
Unusually for a fruit, avocados are high in fat – 20 g in half an avocado – though most of the fat is the healthy, monounsaturated kind that helps to lower blood cholesterol and keep hearts healthy. Avocados are also rich in fibre. Half an avocado provides one quarter of your total daily fibre needs.

Paul Volcker, the long serving governor of the US Federal Reserve once quipped that the only true innovation in finance was the invention of the automatic teller machine. He may have a point that most things in finance have been done before but even he would have to acknowledge the enormous potential for social impact investing to improve the lives of others, reduce the burden of governments and generate strong returns for providers of capital.
Social impact bonds: a look through the institutional investor lense
As a portfolio manager in the 1990s at National Mutual, Gary Brader grasped the enormous potential of securitisation to lower household borrowing costs by pooling together mortgages.
Taxpayers won't be spared bank failure
The government would still be likely to provide support if a local bank were distressed, despite the public debate about a "bail in" regime for creditors, ratings agency Moody's says. APRA chair Wayne Byres said a "bail-in" scheme was difficult, costly and risky, possibly endangering other banks.

Then you listen to it a couple more times and you get over yourself, because all that thinking is missing the damn point.
You Can Feel Me is a big, gleeful burst of silliness and danceability that neatly dodges the dreaded "novelty white-boy hip-hop" epithet that many folks will be tempted to slap on it because it's just so listenable, in addition to being kinda goofy. This is a much less broad record than Har Mar Superstar's self-titled debut -- there are no "Girl, You're Stupid"s here, as enjoyable as that particular song might have been -- even though there seems to be so much more of everything here. (More sexy ladies! More drug references! More dissin' of haters because, as we all know, they ain't no players.) That isn't to say that Har Mar's not out for laughs, because any pasty-ass Midwestern boy who strips on stage has to have a very well-developed sense of humor about things; Dirty Preston's cameo on "One Dirty Minute" alone contains the soon-to-be-classic lines "I'm putting ladies on layaway / I'm making very sexy installments..."
So, yes, this is a funny record, but it's not a comedy record; Har Mar has an acrobatic voice that rivals pretty much any male in R&B today, and he writes some genuinely catchy, sticky melodies that lots of other acts would kill for. And if he makes a bit much of the whole send-up of the urban player mentality, well, modern hip-hop and R&B could use the deflating. When damn near everything you hear on the radio sounds a little more like "Move Bitch" every day, it's pretty sweet (and, who knows? maybe even empowering) to hear someone who can be sex-obsessed without objectifying, who can have some fun and shake some booty in the process. All you haters can step the fuck up -- Har Mar Superstar and friends really do have nothing but love to give.

Bass Fishing
Currier & Ives published many sporting prints. Bass Fishing depicts a father and son enjoying an afternoon on the water. Men no longer had to hunt or fish to put food on the table. The city markets provided everything a family could need. Thus, hunting and fishing developed into a gentlemen's sport. Here, a father, dressed in a conventional coat and necktie, teaches his son this new pastime. Their day of fishing is certain to be a success, as they reel in their first catch.

NY TIMES: New York governor Andrew Cuomo Will Seek to Lift Ban on Hydrofracking »
Fuck. Cuomo makes history one week, fracks us over the next.
The Cuomo administration is expected to lift what has been, in effect, a moratorium on hydraulic fracturing, a controversial technology used to extract natural gas from shale, people briefed on the administration's discussions said on Thursday.
Administration officials are discussing maintaining a ban on the process inside New York City's sprawling upstate watershed, as well as a watershed used by the city of Syracuse, according to people briefed on the plan. But by allowing the process in other parts of the state, Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo would open up New York to one of the fastest-growing — critics would say reckless — areas of the energy industry.
When the decision will be made public is less certain. On Friday, the State Department of Environmental Conservation is due to release a long-awaited study of the process, widely known as hydrofracking. But it was unclear if the Cuomo administration would use the occasion to announce its broader policy plans related to the issue as well. The report will likely include recommendations, and then there will be a period for public comments before a final determination can be made.
Hydrofracking has spurred intense protests from environmental activists, who say it threatens the cleanliness of ground water. The process involves injecting large volumes of water, mixed with sand and chemicals, deep into the ground to break up rock formations and release natural gas. It is legal in a number of other states, including Pennsylvania.

Up Or On The Rocks, a regular haunt for many local bands, will be closing its doors after a second fatal shooting took place just after closing time.
Police told the Courant that Miguel Delgado, 21, of East Hartford, was shot in the chest. The incident started as a fight inside the club that spilled out into the streets when the club began to close.
Up Or On The Rocks has stages both upstairs and downstairs at the club, and hosts rock and funk shows in both rooms. Local bands like Echo & Drake, Little Ugly, Joey Batts and Them, and Mandrake Mechanism have frequented the club, and Hartford rock station WCCC has hosted acoustic events there featuring the likes of Eve 6, Hurt, and Hinder.
Thursday night's incident took place during an 18+ dance night. An event on Facebook advertised the club as "Hartford's only 18+ night club every weekend."
According to the Courant, owners of the club spoke with city officials including Hartford Mayor Pedro Segarra, and agreed to close the club at least until new security plans were put in place. There was no clear timetable on how long that would take.
Gun violence is not common in downtown Hartford, however this was the second shooting in downtown this month. The first took place Aug. 4. Police located the suspect at Disney World earlier this week, and he was and taken into custody.
