Rated 3 out of 5 by MMcLaugh good Hotel I have been using this hotel for several years with excellent results. This stay and the one before left a bit of concern. I was put in a club floor room by the elevator wall, sounded like construction going on. Did get the room changed to a non club floor level, as it was full. But than had to pay for internet. A month before I had stayed there and left a pajamas in the room, which interestingly never showed up in lost in found . December 7, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by willbee Very tired hotel The Sheraton Centre hotel is in a great location, but the rooms are extremely dated with less than ideal layouts for business travelers. There are limited outlets near the beds. My last room had women's hair in the bathroom tub wall, duct tape over a vent in the room, and stains on the carpet. Clearly the hotel relies on its location to keep travelers coming to this location. It is by far the worst Sheraton I have stayed in. February 21, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by rejuved Very Friendly service! The staff to client ratio was super!! They were friendly, courteous and available. My bath room edges and corners were a little questionable and the window was smeared by little hands ( I hope). Directions to the pool changing room and showers were unavailable. Some signs maybe? It was unclear if we would be charged for use of the pool shower after 10.00 pm even though we are required to take one. Minor issues! Loved the ambience. February 24, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by gte401e Fantastic hotel Stayed at this property for 3 months straight in 2012 and loved it. Everyone from the front desk to housekeeping was very friendly. I stay there as much as I can when in Toronto. Very convenient to everything. Club Lounge is great and especially Blesilda. She is outstanding and helps makes this property very friendly and inviting. I've stayed at hotels around the world and seldom does someone still remember my name after 6 months! January 14, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by Conferencegoer27 Noisy and poor service Our stay was ruined by a very noisy party going on over the weekend in the room next door. There were lots of people in there and repeated phone calls to the front desk were unanswered. Eventually, we did get hold of someone who promised to ask them to quiet things down but nothing happened. We got no sleep and the solution of the management was to give us a few meaningless starwood points. Poor service. April 19, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by confusion69 Why are you charging me for marketing expenses Just received my folio for a one-night stay at the Sheraton Toronto and am somewhat surprised to see additional charges on the bill as follows: Rooms HST -- $25.87 -- I assume this is your local hotel tax. Destination Marketing Program -- $5.29 -- I am confused about this one. Why should your guests have to pay your marketing costs? HST Marketing Program -- $ 0.68 -- Then to top it off, you charge me tax on your marketing costs! November 7, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by dd23 Hotel has grown tired Staff are first class and the lobby area projects a great big city vibe. The hallways and my room however need a real remake. Dull stained wallpaper and may years of poor paint jobs are far to obvious. My room actually has a paint stain in the middle of the washroom floor from the most recent attempt at sprucing up. The furniture in the room and by the elevators looked worn. fortunately the bed was comfortable and the room quiet. January 18, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by maria582 meals for celiac needs much more improvement I had a gluten free dinner at the President's Ball on Sunday, March 9th and it was not impressive at all. The chicken was good, but a side of salsa was thrown at the side, which did not compliment the chicken at all. I did not get mashed potatoes, but a mash of other vegetable. The dessert was a hard brownie with chocolate shavings. I would rate my dinner a 1* and that would be generous. Not enough gluten free options. March 13, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Chitosanling This hotel is convenience This hotel has a great location - close to many tourist attractions that's within walking distance. Bed was okay but room is somewhat outdated. I was somewhat disappointed that the hotel charged guest for wireless service when it claimed as a conference hotel. June 23, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by Nav07 The staff needs to improve their customer service At check in the clerk asked for a few hours more to have my rooms ready as the rooms I paid for were not available yet. When I came back to get the keys the second clerk had no record of the previous clerk's notes. The second clerk actually lied about not having the booked rooms available because when I asked to speak to the manager, she immediately offered an "upgrade." When I checked online, I realized the "upgrade" the clerk offered was in fact not an upgrade but it was an equivalent room rate with a smaller bed. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone that is celebrating a special event as this run around decreases the enthusiasm for celebration. In addition, I required late check-out and called the front desk and agreed to pay the fee. Yet my room key was blocked because the front desk didn't put a note on the file about the extended checkout time. July 5, 2012
Rated 2 out of 5 by Jefley Disappointing For the cost of a night's stay, we were disappointed. The A/C never managed to get our room below 75 degrees in spite of hours of being set at 68 on high. The shower water pressure was weak at best, and the bathroom walls need repapering. The worst part was the noise - every 30 to 40 minutes we were awakened by a barrage of what sounded like firecrackers or rifle fire. I checked, and there were no fireworks scheduled that night! July 30, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by AgriTravlr Sheraton does it again Sheraton Centre, Toronto - in the heart of the city, close to everything - great service and nice rooms. Only thing that bothered us a bit was that we were in the Club room, but in the wrong tower so we had to go down to the first, second or third floors to catch the elevator up to the top floor to take advantage of breakfast and evening refreshments. Seemed weird at the time and a bit inconvenient. Other than that, outstanding. December 18, 2012
Rated 3 out of 5 by JH20148 Not worth the price and not child-friendly. The hotel is in a nice location, the rooms are fairly standard for the category of hotels. The best feature is the sound-proofing - very quiet. However, the cost is rather excessive. Internet service runs $15/day, the food, both at the restaurant and in-room, is outrageously overpriced. Fortunately, the hotel is adjacent to a shopping mall/center, where better and cheaper food is available. The room is small and cramped - so small that they refuse to put in a rollaway for a small child, who was too short to climb on the bed by himself and too big for a crib. I was there for a professional conference and one whole level (the Mezzanine) where meetings were held is incredibly difficult to find and the rooms are terrible - low ceilings, awful visibility, and poor sound. I missed an entire 15 min talk just trying to find the floor (the maps were pretty useless). November 18, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by local2014 time for an update As a loyal Starwood member who travels around the world staying at some of the better properties I was disappointed in my local property. Toronto is a fantastic city and I think it warrants having a great Starwood property. There is a lot of new Toronto competition in hotels and its time to overhaul this run down, tired hotel. Even the Club Floor was an embarassment to the brand. May 12, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by FireAlarms4 FireAlarms4 This was my first stay at the Sheraton. I will be working in Toronto for another 6 months and I was staying at the Sheraton to determine if I want to stay there long term. However 3 fire alarms on Aug 13 and 1 fire alarm on Aug 15 may cause me to rethink my decision. I will be staying at your hotel for the first two weeks in Sept to give your hotel another chance and hopefully the fire alarms will not go off on those occasions. August 19, 2012
Rated 3 out of 5 by Daniel627 Facilities need to be improved The hotel location is great, but the facilities in the guest room are need to be improved… There were no frig, microwave, and free wifi in the room, which was not convenient. July 3, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by Andyf1235 Not great Lost reservation but Sheraton Corp had it Cold Food Dated rooms July 11, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Ronnie69 Blue-Jay Weekend Holiday The Front Desk Employees are the best that I have ever dealt with, they do everything to help the travelers, also the rooms are very well maintained and kept up date. The Hotel is very close to everything, like sporting events and theaters, also it is right on the PATH route so it is good for shopping on wet days, the Club Floor extras are very good in the evenings and the Breakfasts are very good also. I had a very good time. June 24, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by Electronics Wireless Overall, I enjoy staying at this hotel. Great beds, staff are friendly and it is an awesome location. But there is a consistent problem with the wireless signal and TV. I usually give up trying to use wireless due to signal quality. Same with TV..most channels not availalbe and when you watch TV channels cut in and out. I used to have the same problem with cell phone service (bell) but that no longer seems to be a problem. January 26, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by Chris5994 Unfortunate To celebrate my wifes 40th birthday, we decided to stay downtown for a couples weekend away from the kids. I confirmed a city view king room and when I checked in the room had one double bed. When I called the front desk, i was told the hotel was overbooked and I would have to wait until the following day to move. The room we were moved to was a king, but overlooking the construction of city hall. The room was in good shape, but there were a few things that i noticed ie. curtains were ripped in places, the walls had smudges, and the furniture was dusty. In addition, there was an outage of the phones and internet service and the icemaker and vending machines on the floor were out of order. I have stayed at Sheraton hotels in various cities for business and have been uniformly pleased, it was unfortunate that the stay for my wifes birthday did not measure up. September 6, 2012
Rated 2 out of 5 by disappointed222 You must be upset for someone to help I tried the Sheraton for a second time, after a very disappointing stay in the summer. The location and pool is wonder however as usual the room was a disappointment, I had booked a King suite and was given the worst one in the hotel. My room had an ice machine to the right and an emergency exit to the left. The employee who checked us out was helpful and understanding, however the GM could use some customer service training. November 7, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by justin214120 sheraton Toronto The hotel was very nice expecially with all of the renovations. Overall I would recommend the sheraton to anyone who is traveling. I staied in the jacuzzi suite and it was very clean and super comfortable to relax in. The only thing I had a little trouble with was house keeping. They took over 2 hours to bring me towels when I called and over a hour for a toothbrush. So overall I would recommend the sheraton to all travelers. April 6, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by marty123987 this hotel needs some work The rooms were dated. The bed cover was like a plastic kind of material. There was a bird in the conference hall. Most of the escalators were under repair. There was no HBO/Showtime. The lighting in the bathroom was inadequate. There was no TV guide other than online. The TV was unplugged from the back. The bed was hard and uncomfortable. Overall it was overpriced for what you got. May 8, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by unifor60 disappointed I am a SPG gold member as well a a owner with Starwood. I:m a loyal customer and stay at your hotel for both business and personal use , this last stay was the most disappointing to me , I found that my concerns were not address by the desk mamager and went on deaf ears. when I come to stay I alays request a refrigerator for medical reasons , check in time was 3:00 pm and when I checked in at 3:30 I was told they were all out and no one seemed to care that I had medication that needed to be refrigerated it took 3 phone calls after checking in to get someone to agree to keep my meds in a refrigerator I was told someone would come to pick it up I waited 1 1\2 hours and no one came . called again to be told that they were not aware of the previous phone call. fond this totally unacceptable and I hope that I don't run in to the same problems with my up coming stay.d December 1, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by dozer2015 dave hewitt A/C not adjustable No free internet in Room TV slow to respond Good shower . July 9, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Jayjay81 Pool did not meet expectations I always look forward to the pool at this hotel but was disappointed. There was an awful black mesh cover over the pool which took all the sun away. The outdoor pool bar was also closed, so after a hard work day I was disappointed. I hope this is not a permanent thing! The front desk said it was to keep things out of the pool. The whole lure of this hotel is the outdoor pool. This used to be the best hotel pool in Toronto. August 25, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Jake57 Nice hotel with lots of amenities We stay at the Sheraton Centre every time we go to the boat show in January. The hotel provides a free shuttle to and from the Boat Show. We enjoy the indoor/outdoor pool and hot tub as well as the accessibility to blocks and blocks of downtown shopping (without having to go outside). Getting the Club room, which is a small additional cost is really worth it for breakfast in the morning and h'orderves in the early evening. January 16, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by AONEILL Convienent location, overzealous service I stay frequently at this hotel for business. Normally, the rooms are clean, the staff excellent. Recently however, I have had two stays in which the room required additional cleaning. I brought these to the hotel's attention each time & it was cleaned. My complaint triggered a over zealous responses: many intrusive phone calls to "check on me" and a bottle of wine delivered to my room while the Do Not Distrub sign was on. February 14, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by emily37 one bad apple we were greeted with a disdainful-"are you sure you're a gold member? "-at the gold and platinum desk by a long time employee with an attitude. a greeting we never expected at a sheraton property. we wre given a very nice room on the 23rd floor overlooking city hall square. we soon discovered that this room had no heat and the maintenance people were too busy with a water leak and the front desk would not answer the phone. December 17, 2012
Rated 1 out of 5 by Brazuca This hotel is good but not manager and some people on the front desk. I had several problems during my stay in this hotel and people in charge just do not care, especially the lady manager. For instance, every mistake they made they do not say "sorry" they say "don't worry". I couldn't rest because lots of noise and some times when I went to the front desk to complain they started to laugh when I left, including the manager. Once I had to wait 26 minutes to talk to the manager. March 21, 2014


text: This place was by far the the best place We have ever stayed. Everything was very clean and crisp; suzanne the host was wonderful. The view out are window was everything i imagined. I do have to add that the breakfast was five star quality. Thank you for a wonderful weekend.

The Dean William Parks Colloquia Presents
(Newport News, Va.) -
The Christopher Newport University Dean William Parks Colloquium Series will present the lecture "America's China and China's America: Rethinking the Past Two-and-a-Half Centuries," featuring Professor Dong Wang of the University of Turku. The lecture will take place on Wednesday, March 27, 2013, at 4 p.m. in the David Student Union Boardroom, and is free and open to the public. No reservation is required.
The U.S. and China have taken root in each other – becoming two of the world's great powers over nearly two-and-a-half centuries. Steeped in a realist race for markets, resources and power on a global scale, the Sino-American encounter has yielded four mutual images in public discourse across the Pacific. These historical perceptions include the China market vs. the U.S. Open Door Policy, red China vs. imperial America, the return of China vs. the allure of the U.S., and the China issue vs. the contentious hegemon.
Wang is professor of contemporary Chinese history and director of the Center for East Asian Studies at the University of Turku in Finland, and a research associate of the Fairbank Center for Chinese Studies at Harvard University.
A four-year public university in Newport News, Virginia, Christopher Newport University enrolls 5,000 students in rigorous academic programs in the liberal arts and sciences through the College of Arts and Humanities, the College of Natural and Behavioral Sciences, and the College of Social Sciences, including the Luter School of Business. CNU offers great teaching and small class sizes with an emphasis on leadership, civic engagement and honor.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Far too much food wasted, experts say
The World Food Prize/Borlaug Dialogue held in Des Moines, Iowa, each October is an award and conference named in honour of the late Norman Borlaug, the American plant scientist who won the Nobel Peace Prize for his development of higher-yielding "Green Revolution" wheats for India.
Understandably, much of the dialogue is around the familiar theme of how to double food production by 2050 to feed what is now expected to be a global population of 9.6 billion, with many focusing on seed as the chosen instrument.
"Every farmer in the world knows what to do with a seed. The barriers to adoption are very, very low and the ability to reap benefit is high," said Robb Fraley, Monsanto's chief biotechnology officer and one of this year's World Food Prize laureates.
But there is growing acknowledgement of the sad irony of Borlaug's legacy. Much of his good work is literally going to waste.
"Twenty-one million tonnes of wheat is wasted each year because we don't have the infrastructure," Ashok Gulati, chairman of the Commission for Agricultural Costs and Prices for the government of India, told a seminar at this year's dialogue.
"Eighty to 90 per cent of the policy environment is produce more, produce more, produce more, but the issue is what happens after that, and it's horrendous," Gulati said.
Yemi AkinBamijo, the executive director for the Forum for Agricultural Research in Africa (FARA), said up to 60 per cent of the crops produced in Africa doesn't reach the marketplace. Dealing with post-harvest losses alone would dramatically reduce the need for increased production, he said. It's estimated that worldwide, more than 30 per cent of food production is wasted.
In our part of the world, food waste is a cultural problem. We take preserving post-harvest quality and getting food to market for granted with our cold, dry climate to help control insects and a handling and transportation network that runs like clockwork.
Other parts of the world lack the basics, such as roads and electricity. Producers can't easily access credit for inputs such as seed and fertilizer. Marketing chains are poorly developed.
That exposes the other inconvenient truth about focusing mainly on production -- enhancing technology to feed the world. Despite huge productivity increases, the number of hungry and malnourished in the world isn't dropping. Most of the hungry are self-employed as small-scale farmers or vendors. They, more than any other sector, are key to not only eradicating hunger but to unleashing a country's economic growth.
In poorer countries, most farmers are smallholders with five acres or less. Street vendors use push carts and typically have one day to sell fresh goods before they spoil. Gulati said solutions for these entrepreneurs can't be so big or expensive they are squeezed out of the picture. "Instead of trampling on these people, they can be a force for change."
Frances Moore Lappé, whose 1971 book Diet for a Small Planet pioneered the notion of ethical eating, also addressed the conference and warned against using scarcity as a reason for increasing food production.
"It is a fear-driven message that there is not enough and we must narrow our focus more and more in order that we keep up this race with population growth," she said. "We go along with a power-concentrating market, driven by one rule -- highest rate of return to existing wealth."
Lappé criticized "almost unthinkable extremes" of concentration of ownership in the food system, noting three companies control 53 per cent of the global commercial seed market.
"So concentrating power that is disempowering billions inevitably creates the experience of scarcity, no matter how much we grow."
This year's World Food Prize went to three pioneers of genetically modified seed technology, including representatives of Monsanto and Syngenta. That drew protests, which some biotechnology proponents labelled an anti-science backlash. Lappé disagreed.
"For me, genetically modified organisms not only fail to address hunger, but they contribute to the concentration of power that is at the root of hunger," Lappé said.
"The protest over this year's prize, it is not just about the seed, it is about the system."

Seldom, if ever, over the past quarter-century have we seen a petition bearing 1,100 signatures presented to the Storm Lake City Council. John Keenan, owner of Grand Central Coffee Station, proved how hard he works when he presented just such a petition to the council on Monday in opposition to closing several railroad crossings for streets and sidewalks. Further, some 60 residents showed up at the meeting to put faces and voices to the document.
The Iowa Lakes Corridor Development Board has a good opportunity with the installation of a new director to reassess how it does business. Iowa Lakes is supposed to be the primary economic development recruiter for Buena Vista, Clay, Dickinson and Emmet counties. It is not clear to us that the unit of regional government has been much of a benefit to Storm Lake in particular and the county in general. It appears to us to be a networking unit for Dickinson and Clay counties.
Methodist Manor's announcement last week that it will add 48 beds to its retirement community was welcome news on many fronts. First, it would appear that the non-profit long associated with Storm Lake has its finances in order. Second, there is strong demand to retire in The City Beautiful for its cultural, recreational and educational offerings. Third, it will help ease the community's housing shortage.

Rockford Area Arts Council's summer youth apprenticeship program began Monday, June 21, at Rockford College. ArtsPlace is for aspiring artists between 14 and 18 years old who work under the direction of professional artists to create art to sell and perform for the public.
Proceeds earned from tickets and art sales are divided equally among the youth who successfully complete the program. Since 1995, more than 800 youth have benefited from ArtsPlace apprenticeships, and this summer marks the 16th year of the program.
ArtsPlace welcomed two new artists to the program this year: Dorothy Paige-Turner, well-known jazz vocalist who joined the ArtsPlace staff as lead artist teaching music and all its connections to art; and Marco Basurto, sculpture artist who turns what most people consider junk into works of art.
Returning ArtsPlace staff include Bruce McDonald, co-director and printmaking artist; Kathryn Martin, painting and photo journalist artist; and Tamara Newquist, dance artist.
ArtsPlace meets at Rockford College's Clark Arts Center from June 21 to Aug. 3, Mondays-Thursdays, from noon to 4 p.m. The public is invited to visit from 1 to 3:30 p.m. to view teams at work.
The mission of the Rockford Area Arts Council is to support, promote and develop the arts for everyone. ArtsPlace was created to give youth from diverse ethnic and economic backgrounds that opportunity. ArtsPlace is supported through grants from the Rockford Park District, Illinois Department of Human Services, Target, the National Endowment for the Arts and individual donations.

'The Hobbit' Comic-Con panel is now online: The top 5 highlights
The Comic-Con panel for The Hobbit: The Battle of Five Armies went online today, making this Monday especially delightful for those unable to attend the madness in San Diego over the weekend. "Huzzah!" Tolkien fans everywhere shouted.
The panel saw numerous cast and crew—including Peter Jackson, Benedict Cumberbatch, Orlando Bloom, Cate Blanchett, Evangeline Lilly, Elijah Wood, and Andy Serkis—dole out trivia, make shocking confessions, and laugh with a costumed Stephen Colbert (seriously). Here are the highlights:
1. Stephen Colbert as moderator: Colbert is a J.R.R. Tolkien super-fan (see: the full Hobbit costume he wore during the panel). The late-night host admitted having reservations about Peter Jackson & Co. tackling The Lord of the Rings series, the original works in the franchise, but he ultimately loved the films. Still, he did find a flaw: "The only problem I saw was at a total of 11 1/2 hours, they were too damn short." Throughout the panel, Colbert popped in and out, offering humorous commentary on the actors, the films, and most importantly, the narrative, which he is extremely knowledgable about, bringing us to…
2. Philippa Boyens admitting she lost a trivia contest to Colbert: Boyens, one of the writers of the series, knows her material backward and forward. Hell, she adapted the books. In a fateful trivia contest, however, she was no match for Colbert. Boyens recalled Colbert's wife approaching her after the match, saying, "I think this is the greatest night of his life." Colbert likened his Tolkien aptitude to being "an athlete who's been training his entire life for a race he never knew was coming." Jackson joked that Colbert isn't a modest winner.
3. Peter Jackson updating fans on the Hobbit finale: Jackson began working on the first LOTR movie around 1995, meaning he's dedicated about 20 years of his life to adapting Tolkien's work for the screen. "It's a commitment I've really enjoyed taking," Jackson explained. That being said, the work isn't over yet. To offer an update, the director said they're still shooting, and are currently in the middle of filming the Battle of Five Armies. The film will hit theaters December 17.
4. Elijah Wood admitting he never read LOTR (again): Wood was met by boos from the crowd when he confessed, again, that he has never read the LOTR books. A shocked Colbert asked Wood if he knows how to read. In Wood's defense, he had a pretty convincing explanation: "I read The Hobbit when I was a child and it was a big, big book for me. I had The Lord of the Rings on my shelf and it was one of those things that was very daunting and was kind of always there. I thought, 'I'll get to that one day,' and then these movies came about. I felt like I was living it and experiencing it in such a profoundly deep way that I never really consulted the books. I imagine it's something that I will go back to but it was such an experience over the course of such a long period of time."
5. Andy Serkis discussing his process, progress: Serkis is one of the most versatile screen actors around, capable of manipulating technology to bring various forms to the screen. "As an actor, [technology] breaks down barriers," Serkis explained. "Whatever you are, it doesn't matter. You can play anything." After playing Gollum in The Lord of the Rings, Serkis found the lead role as King Kong. "I thought my life was going to go back to normality to play normal films in a normal traditional way. The idea hit me overnight: 'Hold on a minute: I've just played this three-and-a-half foot ring junkie. Now I'm going to play a 25-foot gorilla. This means typecasting is not more.'" Today, Serkis can be seen onscreen as Caesar in Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, in theaters now. One more bonus: Serkis treated a delighted audience to his Gollum voice.

Viggo Mortensen calls 'Lord of the Rings' trilogy a 'mess'
Thirteen years since the release of The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring, star Viggo Mortensen isn't holding back in expressing his true feelings for the Peter Jackson trilogy. In a candid interview with The Telegraph, the 55-year-old actor calls the process of making the epic films an epic disaster.
Mortensen, who portrayed Aragorn in the trilogy, says Jackson and producers "were in a lot of trouble" before the first film proved to be a massive hit with both critics and moviegoers. "Officially, [Jackson] could say that he was finished in December 2000 — he'd shot all three films in the trilogy — but really the second and third ones were a mess," Mortensen says. "It was very sloppy — it just wasn't done at all. It needed massive reshoots, which we did, year after year. But he would have never been given the extra money to do those if the first one hadn't been a huge success. The second and third ones would have been straight to video."
All three LOTR films were nominated for best picture at the Academy Awards, with the final installment, The Return of the King, taking that top prize, as well as a best director statue for Jackson. But Mortensen has a decidedly different take on the quality of the films. He believes The Fellowship of the Ring is the best movie in the franchise, in part because Jackson relied less on special effects for that outing. READ FULL STORY
'The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey' was 2013's most pirated movie
Congratulations are in order, sorta, for Peter Jackson and his Hobbit team. According to TorrentFreak's annual list, the first film in their trilogy was downloaded well over eight million times in 2013, making it the year's most pirated movie.
It wasn't, however, a runaway victory. An Unexpected Journey was followed closely by Django Unchained, which has an estimated download count of 8.1 million — just 300,000 fewer than The Hobbit, even though The Hobbit's worldwide box office take was more than twice what Django made. Two blockbuster sequels — Fast and Furious 6 and Iron Man 3 — plus a surprisingly high-performing Oscar nominee (Silver Linings Playbook) round out the top 5.

'The Hobbit': Five things you should know about 48 frames per second
Unless you've been hiding out in a hobbit-hole or held captive by a cave troll, you're undoubtedly aware that director Peter Jackson's long-awaited return to Middle-earth, The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, is opening next week. And you're probably also aware that Jackson shot the film in a new format, 48 frames per second, which has kicked up a fair bit of fuss among early reviewers, not all of it positive. But what does 48 frames per second even mean? Is it actually a better way to experience the film? Here are five things you should know before buying your ticket. READ FULL STORY
This week's cover: Go inside 'The Hobbit'
If you think all of the amped-up anticipation and feverish speculation surrounding Peter Jackson's long-awaited return to Middle-earth with The Hobbit has been intense — well, just imagine being Martin Freeman. From the moment he was cast as the reluctant hobbit hero Bilbo Baggins in Jackson's epic adaptation of J.R.R. Tolkien's beloved children's book, the British actor has been doing his best to shut out all of the noise for his sanity's sake. Going on-line to eavesdrop on the fans' expectations and armchair-quarterbacking of The Hobbit is "a suicide mission," he tells EW. "If I read one bad thing about me — it can be one person's opinion in Idaho — I'm like, 'Jesus, why does everyone hate me?' " he says. "If you read four of those, you think, 'Everyone in the solar system hates me!' Then even if you read 80 people saying, 'I think he's wonderful and I really want to f— him,' you're still thinking, 'But that person in Idaho…' " He pauses and adds drily, "In short, I don't really seek out the Hobbit stuff."
With the Dec. 14 release of the first installment, An Unexpected Journey, finally almost here, this week's issue of EW goes deep into "the Hobbit stuff," exploring the film's long, difficult road to the big screen and the critical, sometimes controversial creative decisions Jackson has made along the way — most notably, his surprising decision to turn the planned two-film adaptation into a full trilogy. That decision took even Freeman aback at first. "At first, I must say, I was like, 'Why?' " the actor says, adding that he quickly came around. "You kind of think, 'I've already put this much of my life into two movies. What am I going to do now — not put it into three?' In for a penny, in for a pound." READ FULL STORY
Learn airplane safety from elves, hobbits, and orcs, courtesy of Air New Zealand
Forget giant eagles. Citizens of Middle Earth have stepped into the future and are now flying aboard 777s. Or at least they are in Air New Zealand's new in-flight safety video, "An Unexpected Briefing." The video, which was created in anticipation of the December release of The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, starts screening on Air New Zealand flights this week.
In the video, the elven flight attendant starts with a message we're used to hearing in safety videos ("Even if you flight with us often, be sure to keep a sharp eye on the briefing") but aren't used to obeying. But this video is different — orcs, hobbits, Ringwraiths, dwarves, and elves have a way of boosting entertainment value.
Check out the video below to see Peter Jackson put on the one ring, some gorgeous Aragorn-like hair whip back in the breeze, a Gollum cameo courtesy of Weta, and an obligatory quoting of Gandalf's most airplane-applicable line. Dean O'Gorman, who plays Fili in The Hobbit, and J.R.R. Tolkien's great-grandsons Mike and Royd also make an appearance. READ FULL STORY
Who should direct new 'Star Wars' movie? Christopher Nolan? Joss Whedon? J.J. Abrams?
Breathe, Star Wars fans, breathe. Maybe lie down a minute.
Following Tuesday's nerd-shattering announcement that the Walt Disney Company is buying Lucasfilm, and the plan includes Star Wars: Episode VII, in early development and hoping for a 2015 release, the speculative race is on for who should direct.
Should it be Christopher Nolan, who exploded open the Batman franchise? Or Star Trek reboot master J.J. Abrams? Or Joss Whedon, riding the superhero tidal wave of this year's The Avengers? Lucasfilm founder George Lucas, who wrote and directed the 1977 Star Wars original and the later prequels, will work as a creative consultant on Star Wars: Episode VII, so love him or hate him, he won't be returning to helm the next film.

Heather Fuselier, Tallahassee Democrat: My husband and I stood at the meat counter at The Fresh Market recently, trying to decide what to grill for dinner.
Chief among the determining factors was the environment in which we would be eating our meal: with our children or without. I didn't want to spend the money and time on preparing filet mignon and then try to eat it in three bites while also negotiating the taste buds of my third-grader and feeding the bottomless pit my toddler has become. In other words, I wanted to eat more mindfully and enjoy my meal, rather than just …

Last night, stressing about undone tasks, I glanced in a mirror and saw my t-shirt, with its picture of a galaxy and a little sign sticking up out of its outer swirls, saying "you are here." A joke gift from my wife, I've worn this shirt many times – yet for once it stopped me in my tracks. In William Blake's phrase, the doors of perception popped open and it really hit me: yes we are actually here, off to the edge of a vast floating whirlpool of stars, alive and conscious, walking and talking on a big rock circling a bigger burning ball of gas.

You establish a practice of meditation in order to develop the habit of mindfulness so that your awareness remains engaged when you leave the meditation cushion and go out into the world.

Intention of renunciation
Renunciation is founded on a disenchantment with the world and with experience, based on right view. You see through all the possibilities of experience: you see their ephemeral, insubstantial, empty qualities, no matter how alluring or seemingly gratifying. You see the suffering embedded in the experience, the "trap," as the Buddha put it. And you see the happiness, peace, and love available in not chasing after pleasure or resisting pain.
Based on this clear seeing, you align yourself with the wisdom perspective and with the innate, prior, always already existing wakeful, pure, peaceful, and radiant awareness within yourself. In so doing, you renounce worldly things and worldly pleasures. …

When it's dark and everyone's dancing wildly with the loud music, keep an eye out for the two horny lesbians, because they will take the opportunity to rub their bare nipples together. As dedicated filmmakers, Girls Gone Wild caught this rare sight on video.
Enjoy this hot video of two girls grinding on each other up in the club. The sexiness gets turned up several notches when the horny blonde starts tongue kissing her brunette girlfriend. The two end up on the floor and in between each other's legs. You just have to check out this clip to see the wild girl on girl action.
We needed some help washing the Girls Gone Wild bus and luckily had a couple of helpers. Before they could get to work we wanted to make sure they weren't smuggling any illegal contraband. So these two fine ladies did a full nude body search making sure not to leave any crack untouched. Enjoy!
These girls made their way into the back of the Girls Gone Wild bus. It started out fun and playful as these two's tight bodied coeds jumped on the bed while wearing bra's. After some playful grinding the brunette turns things up a notch by licking the blonde from head to… Well you'll have to watch to find out.
These girls make a splash as they come off this wild inflatable water slide. Coeds, this attractive, are always looking for creative ways to cool down. It does not help that everywhere they go they heat things up. The sexy blonde in her white tank top takes advantage of their wet and wild ride to make out with her hot friend. Just as they started to cool off, there they go getting each other hot again.
Topless girls and whipped cream. If only we had a cherry to put on top of this hot girl sundae. We gave Natasha a can of whipped cream to use on Katie. Katie enjoyed it so much that she had to return the favor. They lick and suck on each other until they are nice and horny.
These amateur lesbians are burning for each other. They are so horny that they completely zone out everything around them. The only thing left to do is to sit back and let nature take its course. This is one of the hottest make out sessions there is. Watch them race to get their shirts off in this clip.

We've just received word that the EVO4G OTA to FroYo (internally known at HTC as update 3.26) is now available for download directly from HTC's website. Link below.
We've just received word that the EVO4G OTA to FroYo (internally known at HTC as update 3.26) is now available for download directly from HTC's website. Link below.
HTC is not resting on its laurels with the latest version of Android. Hot off the heels of yesterday's announcement that the EVO would be the first phone to receive an update to Android 2.2 (other than the Nexus One, of course), HTC has told Engadget that unlocked European Desires would be receiving the update this weekend, which would also include an App Sharing widget, 720p video recording, iTunes sync, and improved Caller ID.
EVO 4G owners, we have some great news for you today. According to the official Sprint press release that just came out, the Froyo update will be pushed out in waves to your devices starting August 3rd and continuing through the middle of the month.
Sprint will allow *any* EVO to receive the update without waiting for a notification by initiating the update request manually (Settings > System updates).
It's interesting to note that earlier today, Engadget spotted what looked like a slide from the Sprint's internal system, shining some light on the upcoming rollout process.
Two days ago, HTC told the world that they were bringing HTC-branded phones to China. Today, word from HTC is that the phones sold in China will ship with FroYo (2.2) – and with Sense to boot. Pretty interesting that the Wildfire and Desire will both be shipping with FroYo, while the rest of the world won't get the update until "before Christmas." Bastards.
[Source: Engadget]
T-Mobile certainly dropped a big hint when the word "Vanguard," believed to be the codename for the HTC Vision, was discovered all over the source code of their HSPA+ phone teaser page. But, according to a leak from Android Central, this phone might not be the slider we've seen before – it could be the next model in the myTouch line.
Called the myTouch 3G HD, the phone appears to have the same button layout as the myTouch 3G Slide, including the Genius Button and trackpad.
The following post by XDA member scuccia popped earlier today on the HTC Droid Incredible section of the XDA forums:
Here is a Stock 2.2 ROM with Sense based off the upcoming Froyo OTA. This is completely stock with the additions of su, Superuser.apk and busybox.
Everything has been confirmed working. Camera, camcorder, Wifi, bluetooth, GPS, MMS, etc...
A full wipe and 2.x radio is required.
If you don't have a 2.x radio already you can find instructions instruction here.
Tmonews has leaked a T-Mobile retail partner sales FAQ in which it is explicitly states that T-Mobile will never again stock the Nexus One in their retail stores.
This would seem to be the last nail in the coffin for the Nexus One's US tour, though it is still sold abroad in the UK and South Korea. While the document doesn't explicitly preclude the possibility of online sales, "The Nexus One was sold and marketed by Google" is pretty damning.
The world's first Android phone, the T-Mobile G1 (based on the HTC Dream platform), has officially been discontinued today. It is no longer available via T-Mobile's website.
More than anything, this marks the beginning of the end for the first-generation flagship Android devices, as phones running Android 1.5 and 1.6 are slowly phased out of the Android ecosystem—reducing version fragmentation, and allowing developers and users alike to move away from obsolete software.
HTC issued a press release today announcing four HTC-branded phones (HTC phones were previously branded Dopod in China) are to be released in China in a deal with China Mobile and electronics retailer GOME Electrical Appliances (the largest electronics reseller in China). Three of those phones run Android. One, the Tianxi, looks to be a rebranded HD2 running Windows Mobile, which as we all know, can run Android.
Unfortunately, it appears removal of Google branding from Android devices (including the Market) in China will continue with these new phones.
This doesn't need much explaining. If you start a new T-Mobile 2 year contract or upgrade and extend your current service contract, you can get the MyTouch 3G for nothing, nada, zilch. Got a frugal friend or family member looking for a cheap smartphone? Look no further. Just check out T-Mobile's online store page.

Ponce de León came to Florida desperately seeking the Fountain of Youth. It can now be found at Café Nostalgia, Little Havana's vintage Cuban music mecca. For lovers of Latin sounds, slow dancing is a way of life, and it has been clinically proven to keep them young. Just look at the glowing couples on the dance floor at Nostalgia, where romance reigns as singer Luis Bofill pours out a sentimental bolero in his liquid tenor. Unlike salsa, you don't have to learn any steps to slow dance. The dance floor courting ritual is intuitive, international, ageless. Even those who haven't slow danced since seventh grade can be instant pros: just hold your partner tight and rotate. Give in to the music, and feel as giddy as a teenager in the throes of first love.

November 29, 2014
It looks like a scene from any popular reality show, but none of the action Saturday was taking place in an exotic location, unless you consider Stevens Point exotic?
That's where the "Great Race of Portage County" was wrapping up Saturday morning.
Fifteen teams competed in a 24-hour race that included nearly 30 different challenges, such as catching raw eggs, singing in supermarkets and just about anything else you can imagine.
"Potato picking. We picked potatoes, had to eat grasshoppers and tofu and headcheese," said Mark Molski, a race contestant.
This was the first year for the race that's organized by the Stevens Point YMCA to promote their programs. Race officials say they tried the race last year, but had to cancel due to a lack of interest.
"But all of a sudden this year people have been watching the "Amazing Race" and "Survivor" and people thought it was a good thing to do," said Tim Borchardt of the Stevens Point YMCA.
Borchardt says the "Y" hopes to hold an even bigger race in Stevens Point next year.

I have the Janrain social login widget in place on my site and am processing authentication requests with AJAX.
In certain situations, even though there is a successful login with the social site (say, Twitter), I want to prevent the login on my website.
When this happens, the Janrain widget is stuck saying "Loading...", even though there's nothing more to do. However, I would like for the user to be able to try logging in again through another site (say, Facebook).
Currently, the only way to make this happen is to refresh the entire page. Not necessarily convenient, but not a large burden either. Still, I would like to avoid requiring this.
Here is my code - almost an exact copy/paste of what Janrain provides:
//Initialization of the widget on page load
(function() {
if (typeof window.janrain !== 'object') window.janrain = {};
window.janrain.settings = {};
janrain.settings.tokenUrl = THE_URL
function isReady() { janrain.ready = true; };
if (document.addEventListener) {
document.addEventListener("DOMContentLoaded", isReady, false);
} else {
window.attachEvent('onload', isReady);
var e = document.createElement('script');
e.type = 'text/javascript';
e.id = 'janrainAuthWidget';
if (document.location.protocol === 'https:') {
e.src = 'https://rpxnow.com/js/lib/(domain)/engage.js';
} else {
e.src = 'http://widget-cdn.rpxnow.com/js/lib/(domain)/engage.js';
var s = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0];
s.parentNode.insertBefore(e, s);
//Handler for AJAX authentication
function janrainWidgetOnload(){
janrain.events.onProviderLoginToken.addHandler(function(tokenResponse) {
//(blah blah blah)

I've tried making the initialization function a named function which is then called explicitly when the page loads. Even though that works for the initialization of the widget, calling it again fails - even after making a jQuery call to kill all the HTML inside the target DIV where the widget is inserted.
Ideas? Thanks!

Estes Park House Rental Photos and Description
House, 4 Bedrooms, 2 Baths, (Sleeps 10)
Estes Park is a little 'slice of heaven' and we have created a comfortable and spacious, warm home on an acre of gorgeous mountain meadow in the Carriage Hills community of Estes Park - the gateway to Rocky Mountain National Park.
From our 2,340 square foot two-story mountain home, we have incredible 360 degree ever-changing views of the gorgeous, snow-capped peaks and plenty of blue skies and bright stars.
You can walk to neighborhood lakes and a bike path that runs adjacent to the golf course and loops through downtown, Lake Estes, and the fairgrounds. Great for a leisurely walk or bicycle ride.
Your family will feel at home in our smoke-free vacation home. We especially welcome families, as we have children ourselves and know how hard it is to travel with children and still have a relaxing vacation. This is a great home to have a family get-together.
The master has a queen bed, as well as a full bath directly from the bedroom and a patio door with views of the snow-capped Mummy Mountain Range. Two bedrooms have queen-sized beds with patio doors directly to a wrap-around deck. The fourth bedroom has a full size bed and a twin size bunk bed.
The cathedral ceiling Great room offers dynamic views of the Twin Sisters, the Mummy Range with snow capped peaks of Chapin, Fairchild, and Ypsilon (13,514 ft), Lumpy Ridge and the beautiful Estes Valley. The Great room has windows that face east, west, north and south, and it is open to the fully equipped kitchen with everything you need to prepare a holiday meal or a picnic on the deck. Also enjoy a cup of coffee while reading the paper on one of the three bar stools at the log counter while conversing with the chefs. The Great room design allows families to be together to enjoy their vacation to the fullest as they prepare meals, watch TV and interact during the day.
The dining room table comfortably seats 6-8, and has the counter seating and the bistro table nearby so a family of 14 can enjoy a meal together.
Enjoy the additional bistro table for that morning cup of coffee or an evening of cards & games. We have plenty of puzzles and games to be played. Cozy up in front of one of the two fireplaces with a good book and a cup of tea or glass of wine. There is plenty of comfortable seating space to watch your favorite movie or sports event on the 47" flat screen TV. We have included many DVD's and videos for the family. We also have free wireless Internet. If you are looking for a quiet place to relax and enjoy reading there is the living room and an additional family room to relax with your own book or one of ours. This home is designed to enjoy the views and the sunshine from every room.
Being inside is fantastic but being outside enjoying the mountain air, wildlife, and views from our wrap-around deck is even better. One can easily spend hours just relaxing on the large deck reading, enjoying Colorado's deep blue skies and bright sunshine, watching deer or elk meandering by, and soaking up the beauty of these magnificent mountains. Don't rush in from that afternoon thunderstorm, enjoy the smells and sounds without getting soaked. You will be protected by the covered patio.
Enjoy the views while you grill on our easily accessible outdoor grill or have burgers at our 8-foot picnic table. Or just relax with your favorite beverage while watching the ever-changing colors of the Mummy Range. Watch the hummingbirds drink nectar or observe deer, herds of elk, picas, or rabbits playing in the yard.
At night, the quiet and the cool crisp mountain air are perfect for sleeping after enjoying a glorious sunset, and gazing for awhile at a night sky filled with a million stars!
This vacation home is not just a place to stay. It is a place to be with family and great friends in a setting that will inspire and enrich you. You will love our vacation home as much as we do!! Come and make our home your "home away from home" while on vacation in Estes Park. You will be glad you did!

Why The Owner chose Estes Park
This area is one of the most beautiful areas of the rocky mountains. There are '14 ers' (mountains over 14,000 ft) surrounding Estes Park. Estes Park is a large enough community to have all the essentials and close enough to a large Metro area to enjoy shopping, professional sports, and museums. We are the gateway to Rocky Mountain National Park with miles and miles of hiking and horseback riding trails. There are trails for every level of rider that are easily accessible from our home. What a great place to come to snowshoe or cross-country ski. Down hill skiing is just 45 minutes away at Eldora Ski Resort. The wildlife abounds in the area right in our community of Estes Park. Come and join us for Elktober. This is when the elk come down from the high country in the fall to rut. You can hear Elk Bugling and see Bulls challenging each other. The rut is when the males are gathering their harem (females) for next year's calves.
What makes this house unique
Gather your kids and their spouses and your grandchildren. There is plenty of room for a family reunion. You won't find a home like this that has a quiet space for yourselves and a large great room for all to enjoy one another together. The views from this home are excellent in all four directions. See the high peaks and Estes Valley. There is plenty of room on this one acre lot to challenge each other in that outdoor family game. Or you can just sit on the wrap-around deck and watch the ever-changing mountain scenery. We hope you love it as much as we do!
Guestbook comments from the owner
Dan, Thanks for sharing your wonderful house. We enjoyed out trip to Estes Park. Your house was a plus to the trip. We did not want to leave to go back home to Texas. The last night we were there, I was lying in bed on my tablet. My dog, Gunner, kept barking and running to the sliding door in my bedroom. I finally got up to see what he was barking at. I really thought it was your neighbors horse. No, there was a hugh herd of elk eating just outside the house. It was amazing. We watched them until it was to dark to see. This just made staying at your house more wonderful. Thanks, Dora

I was excited to get this piece. I love the original Shell Chair, Designed by Hans J. Wegner. This replica looks great from a distance but before we talk about aesthetics, let's talk nuts and bolts. The instructions to put the chair together were bad, just awful. The pictures and the step by step (didn't have a step by step) were confusing. The list of parts didn't match what was included. I was left to learn which screws were needed where and even then, the holes did not align well and it took two people pushing, pulling and applying just the right amount of pressure to get it to finally come together. When it was done, from a distant viewing, it looks awesome. Up close...not so much. The "walnut" finish is not walnut. This manufacture uses one type of plywood and then applies a spray on finish to resemble the base color of the wood type they claim the finish is. There were several spots that were filled with putty, and large amounts at that. This was my second time around with this chair; the first one I returned because of obvious damage incurred at the manufactures site, lines and scratched on the underside of the seats wood finish from the drying racks and a dent on one of the edges. If this chair was going into a more common area of my home, I would return it and get an original.

Very nice, Nigel – Would make a cracking poster for any Porsche fan
Thanks very much, I like to have a bit of fun with some of my racing images.
– Nigel Bangert
Congratulations on all your super motor racing images Nigel. I particularly like the processing work on this one.
Thanks very much Tony, I really liked the car and wanted to do something different with it.
– Nigel Bangert
I love it. Great captures and stunning post-pro. Makes a great poster!!
Thanks very much, I wanted to make my racing images more than just shots of track events.
– Nigel Bangert
You should contact the sponsors or the owners of the cars. This would make a great poster!
Thank you, that's not a bad idea.
– Nigel Bangert
