Her saving grace: 'Every part of me feels fulfilled though acting,' says Jennifer Lawrence. -AFP
Having a good sense of humour helps Jennifer Lawrence survive the fame game.
Is she the biggest star in the world today?
That's the buzz at the London premiere of her latest Hunger Games movie.
But tell it to Jennifer Lawrence and she'd laugh in your face.
She may not take herself too seriously, but she knows exactly what she wants and she's determined to get it.
After her first Oscar nomination for Winter's Bone, she was chosen by Bryan Singer to play Raven/Mystique in the X-Men sequels and then, as if by a stroke of providence, she landed her career-defining role of Katniss in The Hunger Games.
In between, she snuck in her two Oscar-nominated performances in Silver Linings Playbook and American Hustle.
In London for the international press junket for The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 1 (Part 2 will be released late next year) she's as sprightly as ever.
How important is The Hunger Games to you?
I probably wouldn't be working as much if I wasn't in The Hunger Games, but even though it's completely a passion of mine and I love it and I love the character and couldn't be happier to be a part of it, I did want some time in between to show audiences that I can also do other characters.
I didn't want it to be my sole identity. So it was important to get some smaller, different things in between.
A loss of privacy and control over things that, just out of human decency, you should have control over.
Being chased every day, it takes a toll on you, it's a feeling of being invaded, of being alienated. I feel like I have to give up some things that I shouldn't have to give up.
That's what's great about making these films: you are growing with somebody and growing into somebody.
You're playing the same character that is growing and changing, and this time she is somebody who is completely lost, and has to rehabilitate and rebuild herself.
I guess I can be equally bossy, but being a leader is not something you can claim for yourself.
I mean, I am just an actress, not the leader of anything important, but I knew that becoming a role model was going to come with this job, and if young people are listening to you, you have be careful about what you're saying, which is not my strong suit, so I'm trying to work on that.
Sometimes it's frustrating because there can be so much backlash for just saying something silly.
I don't really cry very much in real life, and there are times when I struggle to cry, but having empathy for somebody else is always easier than having sympathy for yourself, and that's all that acting is, understanding somebody's situation and taking it in and having sympathy for that.
So, it's actually easier for me to cry on camera than it is in real life.
You obviously have a good sense of humour – are you consciously aware of that?
Yeah, humour has helped me survive; my dad has this sense of humour and he's taught me to just laugh at myself.
I guess I can have an intellectual conversation with somebody and it can be fun for five minutes, but at the end of the day I just want to get back to laughing.
I don't want to hurt this person's feelings but I was doing a red carpet and one person went, "Jennifer, in The Hunger Games films you always wear a Mockingjay pin on your clothes but your clothes are so tight in Catching Fire, did you have to pierce it into your skin?"
I'm inspired by art of any kind, music, an amazing movie, or a beautiful painting, or watching somebody dance or do something physically that I could never dream of doing.
On these movies I really don't need to because they're so physical.
I am 24 and I'm going to hang on to this metabolism for all it's worth. I know one day I'll have to diet but not today.
I don't know, I think I have perspective. I didn't grow up in this business, I didn't even grow up in LA; I grew up in Kentucky and I didn't really become successful until a few years ago.
So I'm very aware of what the real world is, and how much things cost. A lot of anxiety comes from something as simple as going to the grocery store. I have nightmares all the time that I'm just walking through a shopping mall and all of a sudden people start surrounding me, and there's nowhere I can go.
Sometimes, I have to call one of my friends and say: "Could you pick me up some bananas because I don't want to go to the grocery store."
I don't think I could have done anything else. Everything in my being, everything in my mind, the way that I think, my memory, every part of me feels fulfilled though acting.
Acting for me was my saving grace. I don't know what else I could really do.

County officials urged to support Gay Games

Gay Games 9 will take place at Cleveland and Akron venues Aug. 9-16, according to Executive Director Tom Nobbe, who explained the significance of Northeast Ohio getting the chance to host the games. Previous games have been held in places such as Sydney, Vancouver, New York City and Chicago, and it was recently announced the 2018 games would be held in Paris.
"Our region has a lot of major tourist attractions, but it's not the first place gay and lesbian tourists think of," Nobbe said.
He added the region won the 2014 games over Boston and Washington, D.C., for several reasons, one of which is the quality of the athletic facilities available. In Akron, the games will hold events at Firestone Country Club, Firestone Stadium, The University of Akron's track, the Copley Road Soccer Complex in West Akron and Cuyahoga Valley National Park, Nobbe said.
About 10,000 athletes total will compete, with about 25 percent of them in the Akron events, he added.
Nobbe encouraged Council members and the public to participate in the games, either as athletes or volunteers. The games are open to everyone, not just lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgendered (LGBT) participants, he stressed.
Hosting the games will result in millions of dollars in economic impact for the region, Nobbe said, with visitors staying in local hotels and eating in local restaurants, but there's more to it than that.
"This is really a catalyst for change in our region," he said, adding that Council's recent decision to offer health benefits for domestic partners of county employees was a positive move.
Also during the meeting, Council awarded a commendation to four members of the Summit County Sheriff's Office who received the FBI Shield of Bravery for their actions in apprehending a member of a gang at a shooting incident in Akron.
Honored were deputies Larry Peters, Shane Smith and Danny Francis and Det. Larry Brown. Peters, Smith and Brown were on hand to receive the commendation during the meeting and were honored with a standing ovation from Council and the audience.
"I'm so proud of these guys," said Sheriff Steve Barry.
According to Councilman John Schmidt (D-District 2), the four were among 12 officers to earn the shield out of 200 nominated nationwide.
According to a press release from the FBI's Cleveland office, the four earned the honor for the June 2012 arrest of a member of a violent gang investigated by the FBI-led Greater Akron Safe Streets Task Force. The suspect's father shot at the SWAT team as they attempted to clear the suspect's residence on Allyn Street. Despite the gunfire, the team arrested both the primary suspect and his father.
In other business, Council adopted a resolution that will allow customers of the Building Standards Department to begin using an online application process at the cost of $2 per transaction.
Council also passed by a vote of 9-2 a resolution opposing Gov. John Kasich's decision to not renew a waiver to provide food stamp benefits to able-bodied adults without dependents in Ohio.
On a related note, Council adopted on first reading a resolution to allow the Department of Job and Family Services to rent additional space at the Job Center for storage for materials for the Summit County Occupational Program Experience. Some of the food stamp recipients who were losing their benefits signed up to participate in the program, which allowed them to retain their benefits.
Council members asked county staff how many local residents are currently receiving food assistance. Jason Dodson, chief of staff in the Executive's Office, said 85,000 Summit County residents receive help, with two-thirds of those being children, the elderly or disabled.
County Council will not meet Nov. 11 due to the Veterans Day holiday. Council will meet for committee meetings Nov. 18 at 4:30 p.m. in Council Chambers on the seventh floor of the Ohio Building, located at 75 S. Main St.

Arizona Cardinals
You down with OPP?
Patrick Peterson made his debut on offense and I'm excited because of the lack of chicanery. Peterson ran a go-route, a curl-route and caught a pass on a wide-receiver screen, gaining 6-yards. His appearance may have seemed ordinary and benign, but this will allow him to do extraordinary things in the regular season.
Peterson will be involved in a lot of trickery and slight of pigskin in this offense but the power of surprise will dissipate without a baseline. Peterson needs to assimilate Bruce Arians' base offense in a 4-receiver set and produce in the most mundane of situations. If he's capable of catching a 10-yard hook, running the out-route or getting on top of an NFL corner on a go-route, he will have a profound impact on what the Cards can do offensively in 2013.
Peterson can run by corners and Big Red is in dire need of a receiver that can loosen up a secondary. Larry Fitzgerald and Michael Floyd are big receivers that can win jump ball battles down the field but they're not going to run by many corners in this league. Peterson can, and this will open up the short and intermediate routes to Fitz and Floyd, making their jobs easier.
As we all know, Patrick Peterson is a stud and he will excel as a receiver in the NFL. And that's what concerns me. How will coaches be able to keep him off the field if he's making plays and changing the way defenses approach their offense?
I'll bet Todd Bowles would like an answer to that question, too.

Love these :)
I have these in Fig Jam, Pink Truffle and Red Velvet. They are all just a little bit more brown/pink/red than my natural lip colour so they add a nice hint of pigment. I find that they're pretty long lasting and I think the packaging is cute as well as sturdy.
Fav combo: Fig Jam + Red Velvet
I bought Tutti Fruitti and it's my first venture into orange. But it's a lovely orangey coral on my lips. I was skeptical looking at it in the store. The pigment is good and lasts well -- doesn't get all over your teeth. Package is quite nice with elegant faux quilting design. Recommended~
i was really hoping i would like these since everyone else has such good things to say about them, but unfortunately i agree with the people that said they do nothing for dry lips. they look absolutely terrible, they bring out every little wrinkle. definitely not worth the money
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I have and love so many of these that I figured I would just write a general review. Like many before have posted, these are somewhere between a tinted balm and a lipstick. They are super comfortable to wear, and in my opinion, perfectly pigmented. They are all a little bit sheer. You can definitely apply them without a mirror if you need to. I love them for work, as I like to have some color on my lips, but on the job I don't want to wear anything too pigmented. I can't really say enough good things about them, I think they are pretty much perfect!
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I LOVE THIS !!!! for the longest time, i didnt know what to put on my lips. i dont like the glossiness of a lip gloss, but i dont like the feel of lipsticks. then i found these amazing lip butters. they are very moisturizing, which is good because i have very dry cracked lips. with this o, you can hardly tell how gross my lips are. they come in LOTS of colors. i think the packaging is super cute. you may want to try it on before you buy though, it looks kinds different on your lips than on the packaging. i have them in creamsicle, sweet tart, and pink truffle. creamsicle is like a pale peachy nude color, if that makes sense. sweet tart isnt a bright pink, but it isnt a cool or deep pink. its simply pink. pink truffle is like a browny pink, i wear pink truffle almost every day. these lips butters are like super tinted lip balms. super moisturizing, but with the color pigmentation of a lip stick. the color lasts quiet a while too. i will repurchase.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
This product is the middle-ground between a lipstick and a tinted lip balm because it is not as pigmented as a lipstick but is not as sheen as a tinted lip balm.
It has a creamy texture and goes on smoothly. It feels really nice on your lips hydrating it and unlike lipsticks it doesn't accentuate cracks.
The only downside for me is that it is not very long-lasting especially after you eat and drink it will be gone but I don't mind it too much.
It's a great lipstick and very similar to MAC's Sheen Supreme Lipsticks.
Definitely in love with this product! Every time I go to Walmart I have to pick up another one, it's extremely moisturizing and has a very wide range of colours. Doesn't even feel like a lipstick, it feels more like a tinted lip balm. I carry one everywhere I go!
This stuff is awesome. I love it! I have it in Cupcake and its such a nice light pink color. I like that it has just a hint of shimmer, but not so much that its scary. The textures also very nice..
Must be I'm not getting the same formula as everyone else who raves about these things. They feel so heavy and unnecessarily goopy. Gah. I'm never listening to Makeup blogs again, I work too hard to get garbage!!
Bought this because of the "Buttery balm" thing. Forget about buying this product if your lips gets dry and chapped all the time! I always put vaseline on before I apply lipstick but this lipstick have been one of the worst ones by far of all the lipsticks I have bought in my life but it is only because it does not work well with my dry lips. The colours are nice though and the packaging is great! But the lipstick itself is not so great for me. :( But every products works differently for other people, right?

One of the laziest new bike developments for 2010, the Yamaha XJ6 Diversion F is simply a standard Diversion with a full fairing and ABS. It's a similarly easy to ride all-rounder that's practical as a day-to-day bike, but it's a bit more stylish than the half-faired bike.

The Yamaha TTR250 is a hardy wee beastie. As an undemanding, unfussy enduro bike for newer riders it excels, with a never-say-die single cylinder motor that has just enough pep for muddy fun. Now deleted from Yamaha's range the Yamaha TT250R is still a sound used buy providing you don't have to go too far on the tarmac.

Never were the words "trusty little workhorse" so apt as to describe Honda's CB250. The latest incarnation, launched in 1992, represented the swansong for a motorcycle with a history going back to the 1970s. Trusted, reliable and entirely without pretence, the Honda CB250 is a cracking little motorcycle that's given long service to bikers everywhere.

The Harley-Davidson Night Rod is the third derivative of the controversial (but undeniably modern) Harley-Davidson VRSC V-Rod family is for those who like their bikes hot-rod style – and black. In practical terms it's halfway between the laid back Harley-Davidson V-Rod and semi-sporty roadster Harley-Davidson Street Rod. And that's no bad thing: a modern Harley with style and ability.

The biggest scooter in the two wheeled world is really a mid sized touring motorcycle under its plastic panels, with a punchy 638cc twin cylinder motor makes a claimed 54bhp which is enough to send the 650 Burgervan to about 110mph. Too heavy, too wallowy in the corners and short on luggage capacity for serious touring riders.

This is the latest in a long, long line of Ducati 750SS which date back to the early 1970s (think Paul Smart). The most recent version of the Ducati 750SS is not a bad all-round motorcycle, and the fuel injection's a marked improvement, but it's hard work and a lot of money for not, perhaps, quite enough reward. One for the fans?

Harley cowboy meets Goldwing creature comforts. The Harley-Davidson FLHTC Electra Glide is an evocative all-American steed that can carry two plus luggage on a chugging adventure-cruise. Cynics would say the Harley-Davidson FLHTC Electra Glide works better on dry, straight, 55mph limit American roads than the drizzly UK where everyone belts up the motorway at 90+.

Somehow you already know if you want the BMW R1200S. The looks divide opinions, but only half as much as the Boxer engine and the Telelever/Paralever suspension do. BMW has strained the limits of these design parameters – and it only just comes off. As an oddball track motorcycle it works, but as an accomplished all-rounder it falls short of ...
1130cc, 76bhp, 120mph, Insurance group 12
The BMW R1150R is an honest-to-goodness Boxer twin that will provide years of faithful commuting service while not exactly setting pulses racing. Once you've overcome the idiosyncratic indicator switchgear arrangement (one per bar, plus another to cancel), the lumpy motor and poor gearbox, it's actually quite endearing.

iPhone Friday — bit of a yawn
It came, we saw, it went ... er ... POP. The Apple iPhone hit Britain yesterday with all the force of a gentle breeze from the Azores. The Apple store in London was hardly beseiged with eager geeks and fashionistas (see pic below). As the "crowd" was let in at 6.02 (O2, gettit?), they were easily outnumbered by Apple store staff and bouncers, all in dark suits, and forming a snaking double-line honour guard for the hapless hopefuls to march through. The first bunch ran through like Olympic athletes winning Gold. In fact they looked just like actors straight out of Chariots of Fire. I wouldn't be at all surprised if they were.
Less that ravenous hordes outside London's Apple emporium
Make no mistake, this piece of kit will sell on price. Strip away a few poor little rich girls who "must have" it -- for ten minutes, and a handful of geeks, the big numbers will come from ordinary Johnnies who will balk at the price. If you buy the top of the range locked-in deal it will cost you $2,654, plus call charges, over 18 months. No way, Jose.
The experts are telling us to wait for the iPhone to be launched in France in a few weeks where French law bans lock-ins. Jonathan Morris of What Mobile magazine said, "People who don't want to be tied to contracts can simply wait until the iPhone comes out in France. Under French law there has to be an unlocked version so people would be able to bring it back buy a Sim card and use it like any other phone."
Although the codes are different from the U.S. version, we're told it's already been hacked. Most geeks will get this done within a week. It's interesting that the first thing the BBC reporter did when he got his was to head off to the hacker's yard to boot out O2.
Steve Jobs is making criminals of us all.

Groups from Left to Right Oppose Delaying Pentagon SavingsTweet
November 22, 2013

Earlier, the Project On Government Oversight reported on an amendment being considered by a group of Republican Senators to ameliorate the impact of spending reductions, known assequestration, on the Pentagon's budget. On Wednesday, Senator John McCain (R-AZ), along with Senators Jeff Sessions (R-AL) and James Inhofe (R-OK), introduced an amendment to the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) that would increase the cap on Pentagon spending this year to $524 billion instead of the $498 billion cap currently in law. Senator McCain's amendment would then constrain Pentagon spending over the next eight years in order to make up for the savings lost this year.
Regrettably, this is yet another example of Congress kicking the can down the road instead of living within its means, or more specifically, living within the budget caps that it set for itself two years ago when it enacted the Budget Control Act (BCA). It also means special treatment for the bloated Pentagon budget.
Yesterday, twenty-four organizations from across the ideological spectrum, including POGO, sent letters to all members of the Senate opposing the McCain amendment to the NDAA. The groups said:
The proposed amendment is a shell game that would allow the Pentagon to avoid making hard choices while gambling on America's future. Even after sequestration and the BCA caps, the Pentagon will remain near record high levels of spending. With the war in Iraq over and our troops coming home from Afghanistan, the reductions mandated under the BCA are in line with historical averages, and completely manageable if Congress and the Pentagon do their jobs and make the hard decisions that fiscal responsibility requires.
Senator Carl Levin (D-MI), who chairs the Armed Services Committee, also came out in opposition to the McCain amendment because it would provide relief to the Pentagon while ignoring the impact of spending reductions to domestic agencies and programs. Reports CQ Roll Call (behind a paywall):
The chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee Wednesday joined a growing number of skeptics in rejecting an amendment…that would alleviate the strain of sequester on defense in fiscal 2014.
Even the Republican leader, Senator Mitch McConnell (R-KY), doesn't support modifying or nullifying sequestration for the Pentagon. According to Defense Daily (also behind a paywall):
McConnell said the BCA and the sequestration it set up have been "highly successful" and have reduced overall government spending three years in a row. "I think it's a bad idea to revisit a law that's actually working and reducing spending." he said.
Instead of delaying making tough decisions about national security funding priorities, Congress and the Pentagon must begin budgeting to current law spending caps. Fortunately, there is no shortage of ideas for ways to save money. Last year, POGO joined with Taxpayers for Common Sense to release a list of recommendations that could save the Pentagon nearly $700 billion over the next decade. Conservative organizations R Street and National Taxpayers Union have also released a set of recommendations for military spending reforms.
In fact, an easy way for the Senate to save billions of taxpayer dollars is by limiting the compensation that the federal government pays contractors. A bipartisan amendment to the NDAA drafted by Senators Joe Manchin (D-WV), Barbara Boxer (D-CA), and Charles Grassley (R-IA), would do just that. It would set the contractor compensation cap at $230,700 per year, adjusted annually, instead of allowing it to soon rise to over $950,000. The cap does not limit how much contractors can pay their executives or employees—only how much the federal government will repay them. POGO strongly supports this amendment.
Congress must reject the McCain amendment to the NDAA if it is offered, and get to work bringing the Pentagon's budget in line with current law spending caps.

Rated 4 out of 5 by 392 reviewers.
Rated 4 out of 5 by REALTOR5459 Nice hotel The staff at Starwood hotels have always been nice and helpful---no difference here. We had a king suite, ocean front, that was very nice. The ONLY thing that I would have a complaint about is the bathroom. The ceiling above the tub/shower is peeling off. The toilet paper holder was loose so the TP kept falling off. Also, no towel bar, so there was really no where to hang our towel to be in easy reach. All minor things...but definitely need to be fixed. October 10, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Pinkrose Luxury Hotel Finally, a hotel that provides luxurious bedding and towels and enough of both. I did not have to ask for anytime extra, it was already provided. The room was spacious and the bed linen was so nice, I was so warm and toasty in the bed. The towels and toiletries were wonderful. The starbucks coffee was awesome. My room was partial oceanview but I saw so much more of the ocean which was wonderful. Enjoyed my stay!!! August 30, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by Coop4112 Great location and super friendly staff Every member of the staff that I spoke with was very helpful and friendly. The hotel was great for a family stay. I did request a crib for our room prior to arriving and did not get it, we also got stuck by the stair door and was told they would not beable to switch to another room. Neither issue impacted us too much. Overall it was it was a great stay and I would recommend it to anyone. May 31, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Karen49 This Hotel has nice rooms and bed was comfortable. We stayed for one over night stay and rooms were very nice and the bed was so comfortable. The food was great for an office Christmas party. I would highly recommend your stay at this Hotel or holding your function here! The only thing was the drinks/soda and chips were high priced downstairs in their lobby. Cost was $2.00 for a very small diet coke and chips were $2.00 also. December 13, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by pjean Good Times at Virginia Beach Sheraton This hotel is a great place to stay in Virginia Beach with a prime location in the North End. Overall it is an excellent hotel. It was a great week and every staff person at the hotel was personable, warm, friendly and helpful! Small complaints: the sliding door alarm;no towel rods to hang towels in the bathroom; dim lighting in thebathroom. August 23, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by adailo Marcus Rocks! Great hotel, exceptional customer service by Marcus. Room is spacious and relatively clean. Restaurant is nice and the servers are great. Always check up on you while in the facility. The hotel ran out of towels in the pools and the cabana. We waited 2 hours for the towels to delivered other than that our stay at this hotel is nearly perfect. September 7, 2012
Rated 2 out of 5 by Sharon12 Not a happy customer! Everything seemed fine after checking in....room was nice, clean and oceanfront. Then we started noticing little things: TNT was not working(a big problem with my teenager since it was in the middle of the NBA playofffs), the refridgerator was broken, the faucets leaked. Then the big problem: construction work right under our window began at 7am!!! (Wish I would have been told that at check-in!) All complaints were met with a pleasant "Oh really? I'll look into it." but the only thing fixed was the fridge. To top things off, the room adjacent to ours decided to party LOUDLY until 1am! Staff was pleasant, but service ended there...except for the valets...they were great. May 6, 2012
Rated 2 out of 5 by Zano321 This hotel needs help! Beds are very comfortable but it was a total dissapointment. Having to drive 6 1/2 hours I called to see if I could check in early I was told it would be put on my file along with the crib I requested and never got. Only after calling SPG to complain did they miraculously find me a room without a jacuzzi like the one I booked. Then on Tuesday after returning to my room only to find the garbage still overflowing with dirty diapers and no towels in the bathroom, I call the front desk they take 2 hrs to come dump tue garbage and tell me there are no towels due to a delivery problem? Really rediculous. I had no towels to shower and go to dinner. The next day they only emptied one garbage I gave up. I wanted my cold pack for my baby formula frozen they td me to bring it to the restaurant to which i got attitude there. No service, no one goes out of their way for you im a Sheraton owner and Spg member and im totally dissapointed. Ive been treated better in other hotels September 1, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by pelaez Anniversarry We had a partial view of the ocean. Jesse, Tia, Trevor and Britney went out of their way to make our stay memorable. Any concern were quickly addresses by Jesse and their wonderful staff. Thank you so much for a wonderful stay at your hotel. Their is no doubt we will return for another anniversary in the future. July 27, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by AllieG Great hotel, overall (with minor glitches) My husband and I really enjoyed our stay at this hotel. We had a full, beautiful view of the beach (after a reservation error was corrected). There were minor annoyances, such as very long waits at both of their restaurants. We waited 45 minutes for breakfast, after we'd placed our order, at their Fusion restaurant! We also had an exceptionally long wait, after placing our order, for dinner on another day, at their outdoor restaurant. Finalizing the reservation (over the phone) was exceptionally long! Then when we registered at the hotel we found that the reservation was for a partial ocean view, when we'd requested and reserved a full view. Fortunately, there was still a full-view room available, and the correction was made. The staff was very courteous and friendly and the hotel is top notch. One thing of note is that they are pet-friendly. So, we had a barking dog as a neighbor, one evening. But, a call to the front desk resolved it, quickly. I would rate it 4-1/2 stars. June 29, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Rob2013 Great Stay for the Family This was a great place to stay for the family. Easy to get the beach with the kids. The service was excellent and friendly. The free WIFI was major plus - nowadays everyone has to be connected EVEN THE KIDS. LOL. Another plus was the nice restaurants in and around the hotel. I would love to visit again. June 24, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by NJP21 Great First Stay in Virginia Beach First time to Virginia Beach - we decided to stay at the Sheraton based on other reviews and pictures on the internet. The hotel met our expectation in every way. It was very clean and the staff was friendly and helpful. The hotel is right on the beach and has an indoor and outdoor pool. Thanks Sheraton!! August 26, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Hazel This hotel has great staff Never have I been treated so well with staff being so helpful accommodating and most of all absolutely so friendly and helpful!! Not just once but for the entire stay. This goes for valet services as well! I highly recommend!! September 19, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by mtb5260 Another great vacation at VA Beach Stayed at this Sheraton for the third year in a row for vacation. Always treated like a VIP by the entire staff, and leave relaxed and rejuvenated. Thanks for another exceptional vacation at the VA Beach Sheraton! September 1, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by MakKie Made a great choice our first night we were awaken by repairs. In the am I asked to switch rooms and we were moved to a beautiful cabana room. The a la carte breakfast was great! June 11, 2012
Rated 2 out of 5 by Fliers Unsatisfactory valet and concierge Our first impressions of this SPG "resort" were not very good. Upon driving into the property, the "valet" parking did not acknowledge us, and when I asked if it was valet or if we park on our own was told "they can". I was a tad confused as there was no effort to park my car. We had just traveled with 3 children 6 hrs to the sheraton and had no help from anyone to unload our bags and no assistance once so ever. When I asked about a bellman or help to transport our bags to our room the concierge said "it's up to you". But no effort again was made to take our luggage so we loaded our own cart and took our bags, strollers, 3 children and playpen up to our room. Not an ideal way to begin our holiday. The room was far below the regular spg hotels standard and the pool small was disgustingly dirty to put it mildly. We waited for an hour for towels to come to the pool, and had finished up there and they had still not been replenished. The front desk and restaurant staff were awesome and probably were the saving grace for this property. Overall I definitely would not recommend this hotel. A first for any SPG property I have stayed at. June 30, 2013

Rated 5 out of 5 by FamilyOfFourNOVA Exceeded our expectations This trip was simply amazing, mostly because of the lovely accommodations at the Sheraton. We've never been to Virginia Beach so did not know what to expect. Our room was exactly as the photos described and the hotel is located in a very nice area of VA beach, right on the northern area of the boardwalk. We booked what seemed to be the very last oceanfront room available hoping there would be enough room for four of us with only a king and pullout bed. There was plenty of space for all of us and our suitcases and beach gear. The beds were very comfortable and the hotel was quiet despite being fully booked. Fusion was delightful in the evening and we had lunch outside at Cabanas.The food was amazing and the atmosphere just perfect. Both meals were discounted by 20% just because we are SPG members. It's a quick and easy walk to nearly everywhere. There are a lot of restaurants within a safe walking distance. We returned late at night and there were lots of people around. The grounds were kept up beautifully. The indoor pool was much bigger than we expected and the outdoor pool is beautiful. The hotel in general far exceeded our expectations for cleanliness, location and condition. It's really a classy hotel and we would definitely stay here again. All the staff members were polite and helpful, friendly and attentive. September 2, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by VABeachVisitor Great Stay, Great Vacation! My husband and I recently visited Virginia Beach and chose to stay at the Sheraton Oceanfront Hotel. We loved it! The hotel was very clean and up-to-date; you could tell it had recently been remodeled. Our room was small but cozy and we were not disturbed by anyone next door to our room. The staff was very friendly and met all of our needs. We visited both pools; they were kept in very nice condition and were refreshing after being in the heat. I would recommend the restaurant at the hotel, the staff there was very pleasant and the food was great! Overall our stay was perfect and we'd definitely come to the Sheraton again! One thing to note when selecting a room: Our room was over the pool area which has a fountain. The fountain is loud when running (just sounds like water not mechanical noises) and drowns out the waves. It's not peaceful to sit on the balcony. So if you're looking for the relaxing wave sounds, do not stay in the cabana rooms, try for one away from the pool area. Also if you are looking for a "late night" hotel this one is not for you. The bar outside by the pool closed by 10:00, this is also what time the pool closed. So if you want to stay out late drinking you can't do it at the hotel. Which is nice for the guests that don't like the night life, no disturbances after 10:00! August 4, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by mph304 wonderful I had a wonderful stay at the Virginia Beach facility....staff was friendly and best of all my dog was welcome!! I will be returning anytime I travel in that vicinity. October 8, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Macdad16 The hotel has great beach locations We really enjoyed our stay at the Sheraton, since it's pet friendly. Very clean and fun to stay. I will come back to the Sheraton in Virginia Beach, Va. August 24, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by billy Construction noise, dust The old pool was being removed during our stay, on Thanksgiving weekend. The noise, diesel fumes and dust were awful on Wednesday, but we were assured it was over for the weekend. But sure enough, they were back again on Friday. We paid extra for an oceanfront room, but it wasn't possible to sit on the balcony for two of the days. We feel we should have been warned about this beforehand or compensated in some way. The staff said, "sorry about that." Also, the free wifi in the lobby was out of order all weekend. The last day we were given free wifi in the room -- too little too late. December 1, 2011
Rated 5 out of 5 by dadofone Clean and family friendly. We have stayed at this hotel for a few years now and it is always clean and great for families. The staff have always been helpful. The bathrooms are on the small side but not a big deal. Could use brighter lighting in the bathrooms. Overall a great place to stay to enjoy the beach and surrounding areas. August 18, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by lonie12 A wonderful time This hotel is located at the end of the boardwalk which is less crowded. It is a short walk to everything August 25, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by gardengirl Quiet and relaxing stay. We only stayed one night while in town for a football game. We normally choose high end, quality hotels when traveling and the Sheraton met our expectations. The suite was comfortable, clean, quiet inside the room and we would stay there again. The only negatives were the little one cup at a time coffee maker with a 2 minute wait between each cup and the balcony had a fairly loud mechanical unit or air conditioning system constantly running. The Sheraton was located in the less congested north end of the beach. We have stayed closer to the pier before and much prefer this location. September 20, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by patva The worst room ever First, there was an error in the online booking. The reservation was supposed to be for one night only but was made for two nights. Don't know if it was my error, but since I never received a confirmation email, it would have been impossible for me to know of the mistake. Had I known, I certainly would have corrected it. At check-in I was told a "city view" room was available. I had requested an ocean view but it was not ready (we arrived early), so we took the room that was ready. Big mistake!! The room was dark, with a small window above a Jacuzzi tub that you could not see out of, even if you stood on the tub! The door to the room was so stuck and difficult to open, I had to use the force of my shoulder to open it. My shoulder still hurts. The toilet did not flush at all and it required having a maintenance man in the room for 30 mins working on it, and had to leave and come back, therefore, could not go to the bathroom, wash up, change clothes, take a nap, etc. So later I'm thinking, although I really dislike the room (felt like being in a closet or someone's basement) maybe we'll try out that Jacuzzi tub when we get back to the hotel. Wrong... By that time the Jacuzzi tub was making some really loud, obnoxious, mechanical noise about every 10-15 mins that lasted about 2 mins. Of course, when the maintenance man came to the room, it was at the time when it was not making the noise. He said the noise was probably coming from some motor in the ballroom. I asked for a different room every time I called about the problems and was told there were no rooms available. Finally around 10 pm, after the third and final call about the noise the tub was making, we were moved to another room. When moved to another room, we were told that they were crediting us our 5000 Starwood points. When asked how the stay was at check out, I told the clerk how horrible the room was and played back the recording on my phone of the noise it was making. He was very apologetic and I was told that we would receive an additional 3000 point credit. I haven't seen the credits on my account. Will have to make yet another call. October 10, 2012

BELLEVILLE -- Jessica Lloyd's picture is displayed as friends, family, media and court officials began to file into the Belleville for the afternoon session of Colonel Russell Williams' court case.
Crown attorney Lee Burgess presented the details of the woman's murder to the court Tuesday afternoon.
Ms. Lloyd's photo is a reminder of a life lost, a woman tortured, a family burdened by yet another one of Col. Williams' brutal slayings.
Court heard Ms. Lloyd's last words to Col. Williams, after she was tortured, was that she wanted her mom to know she loved her.
The Lloyd family was no longer present and the spectator seats were not as full as they were this morning.
Ms. Lloyd and Col. Williams were not acquainted prior to Col. Williams breaking into her home on the night of her murder.
Court heard he noticed her on her treadmill on Jan. 27, 2010. Col. Williams said he noticed her on a drive home but the Crown questioned whether he could have seen her from the road.
While Ms. Lloyd was out visiting a friend, Col. Williams broke into her home to confirm she lived alone.
Ms. Lloyd had texted a friend during the evening of Jan. 28 -- the last anyone heard her.
That night, Col. Williams parked in a field, watching the back of the house for some time. Col. Williams told police he entered her bedroom while she was asleep. She woke up before he struck her.
To subdue her, Col. Williams tied her up on her stomach and covered her eyes with duct tape. He took photos of her standing in her hallway wearing what she had worn to bed, a black tank top and grey jogging pants.
Col. Williams brought lamps from other rooms in the house to better light his images. Around 2 a.m., Col. Williams took a video of himself raping her.
Ms. Lloyd did everything she could to co-operate with Col. Williams, explained the Crown. Ms. Lloyd obeyed his directions, the Crown told the court. When Ms. Lloyd did something wrong, she apologized. Ms. Lloyd was cooperative, thinking that if she cooperated, he would let her go, said the Crown.
After three hours, Col. Williams took Ms. Lloyd to his truck, and then to his Tweed home.
Witnesses who saw Col. Williams' vehicle near Ms. Lloyd's home told police it was "weird" to see a vehicle in the location.
Police later discovered large footwear impressions outside of the Lloyd home along with a smaller footwear impression.
On the drive to Tweed, Ms. Lloyd sat blindfolded in front seat. They arrived in Tweed between 4:30 and 5 am.
At his home, he forced her to have a shower and climbed in with her.
Col. Williams told police he let her sleep for a couple of hours. At some point, she had a seizure which she said was caused by stress. She said she was sick and needed to go somewhere.
"Don't make it worse for yourself. Talk to me, Jessica, talk to me," Col. Williams told her.
"She tells him 'you have to take me to the hospital or I am going to die'," said the Crown.
Throughout the ordeal, court heard Col. Williams kept telling Ms. Lloyd to relax and not to bite her tongue as she continued to convulse. She begged him to remove the ropes and take her to the hospital.
According to the Crown, one of the last things Ms. Lloyd says is, "If I die, will you make sure that my mom knows that I love her?"
Crown attorney Burgess had trouble finishing the sentence. His voice cracked and members in the gallery could be heard crying.
When the Crown began reading the evidence again, he said Col. Williams gave Ms. Lloyd some fruit after raping her again, dressed her, removed duct tape from her mouth and began walking her from his home as if he was going to let her go.
As she began walking, he struck her over the head with a flashlight. He believed she was unconscious. He then strangled her with a rope and photographed her.
On Tuesday, Jan. 29 ,he drove Ms. Lloyd's body to the place where she was later found.
As the calendar turned to February, police began to suspect the sex assaults and Marie France Comeau's murder were possibly connected. On Feb. 4 and 7, police conduct an extensive canvass covering 285 homes.
A roadside canvass was established in front of Ms. Lloyd's house where police stopped all vehicles, including Col. Williams's. The tire on his vehicle matched the ones found at Ms. Lloyd's home. Col. Williams admitted he drove that route but said he did not know Ms. Lloyd. Police allowed him to continue on his way at that time.
An OPP surveillance unit followed him to car wash where he cleaned and vacuumed his vehicle. They seized the contents of the vacuums.
After being interrogated, Col. Williams told police he wanted to "minimize the impact on my wife."
Col. Williams asked for a map to show police where Ms. Lloyd's body was located. He told police that video and photographic evidence of all four crimes would be found in his Ottawa home.
Arrested and told he could contact a lawyer, Col. Williams declined. He later took police to Ms. Lloyd's body.

Central High sprawling campus makes high-tech security difficult
MANCHESTER - In the world of 21st century school security, there exists the sophisticated systems of security cameras, locked doors and buzzer entries, and there exists Manchester High School-Central.
Manchester school officials acknowledged yesterday that Central - the oldest high school in the state - lacks much of the high-tech security of other schools. That's because the school's campus-like atmosphere - five separate buildings, some of them unconnected by hallways - necessitate student movement out-of-doors.
Several times each day, students traverse a central courtyard, using front doors to enter and exit buildings.
Principal Ronald Mailhot said he gives school administrators, including himself, offices that look upon the courtyard, in order to keep on eye on who's entering the school. Likewise, the office of School Resource Officer Kim Barbee overlooks the courtyard.
"We try to be as vigilant as we can be," said Mailhot, whose office is in the Burns Building. "People can come into this building. That's the way it is."
Meanwhile, the rest of the Manchester school buildings have a security system that controls entry. Superintendent Tom Brennan said all 14 elementary schools have security cameras that monitor the front entrances and a buzzer entry system. Middle and high schools, with the exception of Central, have similar systems, he said.
In Bedford, all schools have security systems, direct emergency notification systems to the Bedford police, and doors and locks to discourage entry during lockdown, district officials said.
Brennan said it was an error on his part to say recently that all schools have "limited and controlled access."
"It's not perfect. We don't have locks on all the doors in the quad," Brennan said.
But he stressed that doors on the perimeter of buildings at Central are locked, and Mailhot said he's recently moved to restrict access further. For example, the Maple Street doors on the James Building are no longer unlocked.
Mailhot said he believes Central is safe. The faculty and students participate in drills, and officials keep on eye on the quad from their offices. Whenever an unfamiliar person is walking on the quad - for example, a nearby resident taking a shortcut - Barbee or Mailhot will confront the person, he said.
Mailhot said he's not sure a buzzer system would be useful. The school's 2,100 students have only four minutes to move from one class to another, and when schools were upgraded about a decade ago, an underground walkway between Classical Arts and Practical Arts was removed in favor of a parking garage.
Without use of the courtyard, hallways would be jammed, he said. So the staff and students drill, and everyone knows their responsibility in the event of a crisis.
"Nothing's perfect," he said, "but I'm satisfied."
