Representatives of the Town of Oyster Bay and the Oyster Bay Historic Preservation Roundtable have announced a preliminary agreement towards the preservation of the Mill Pond House, a town landmark on West Shore Drive.
The Mill Pond House, damaged this spring in two separate fires, will be offered for sale to the public under covenants that ensure its restoration to the strict standards of the United States Secretary of the Interior. In exchange, the town will work with the purchaser to allow flexibility in developing the remainder of the property's acreage, to ensure its economic viability.
"The Oyster Bay Town Board is pleased to work with the Oyster Bay Historic Preservation Roundtable," Supervisor Venditto said. "Selling the house to the public under a strict set of covenants and restrictions represents the best possible plan of action to ensure the usage and preservation of one of Oyster Bay hamlet's most historic structures."
The town purchased the house, along with a second property, in 2008 for $1,927,000. Parts of the structure date to the early colonial period, when John Townsend built the house for his family.
It had been John's father Henry who, in 1661, built Oyster Bay's first grain mill. Following John Townsend's death in 1705, his home became known as Esther Townsend's Dwelling House after his widow Esther, an enterprising businesswoman who managed a successful sloop-based trading business, dealing primarily in cider with customers as far away as North Carolina. The Townsends continued to hold the property until its sale out of the family in 1929.
The Historic Preservation Roundtable includes representatives from the Society for the Preservation of Long Island Antiquities, Oyster Bay Main Street Association, Oyster Bay Historical Society, Raynham Hall Museum, and private individuals concerned with the historic preservation and economic vitality of the hamlet of Oyster Bay.

Software generated attendance letter about dead pupil
Capita is modifying its school management software after a letter about poor attendance was sent to the parents of a girl who had died. Macclesfield High School in Cheshire, which uses Capita's SIMS (school information management system) software, apologised to the parents of Megan Gillan for the distress the letter caused. …
Crapita should have spent the money to hire a proper DBA to normalise the data when the system was being designed.
Seems like they were a bit pikey here.
Computer Error
Grr. Blame the computer, blame the software. Never ever admit or explain that it was a human error made by the programmers or designers who didn't consider this condition when they wrote the code. Don't question how a school system can send a letter to a child's parents without anyone handling that letter knowing enough about the child in question to realise the mistake before the letter was sent. Much simpler just to blame the computer.
I'm not at all surprised
This doesn't come as a surprise. My wife has the misfortune to have to work with SIMS as a member of teaching staff at a local secondary school. If you think <insert least favourite software> is bad you should try SIMS. It raises the concept of 'user hostile' to entirely new levels.
If SIMS is in anyway representative of software used in government, there's no hope. Mine's the one with the passport and one-way tickets to, well, anywhere will do.
As a Capita Employee
this surprises me not one jot. Most of the company runs on Visio to plan the work, and Excel to do it.
Note that by "plan the work", I mean "a bunch of 'project managers who have no idea about anything make pretty pictures that bear no relation to reality", and by "do the work", I mean "people who sometimes care about trying to do a good job struggling against the glacier-like momentum of the beaurocracy and not getting any sort of appropriate tools for the job".
Anonymous? You betcha, I ain't got my redundancy payment yet...!
I used to work with SIMS.
It's some really crappy software which just hates to work, and Capita are no better.
They "acknowledge that there is a problem with part of their software" (Canned reply to most problems you have) then do sod all about it unless enough users complain.
Fire because it's the best way to handle SIMS.
SIMS does it again
Honestly if you have ever had to work with this POS software you understand that this is completly par for the course
Did SIMS put the letter into the post ?
''Blame the computer'' -- a good excuse.
OK: it probably did print the letter, but someone must have taken it from the printer, put it into an envelope and put it into the post. The death of a child would have been known by every member of staff, schools are not that big.
The computer printed it, some non-thinking moron in the school office did the rest.
Presumably some human signed it, though?
Reminds me of the one...
Where a local census database had a two-digit field for each person's age. As a result, a 106-year-old lady came up as 06 years old, and got a visit from the local truant catcher.
Anyone remember GIGO?
It's easy to blame the software, but some fucking numpty had to put the bloody letter in an envelope. Are there so many skiving little gits that human intervention is not feasible?
"Capita have asked the school to convey their apologies to Mr and Mrs Gillan."
They never can face up to the people their incompetence messes up.
Poor design
Cause: poor system design: having data replicated in different places and not having sufficient interfaces between subsystems to send delete instructions across to ensure all subsystems are kept in sync.
Simple data replication issues.
Inadequate system testing too.
Does the bar look a bit lower these days?
The school can thank British Gas for making it appear laudable that they took responsibility and apologised rather than just blaming the computer...
Future entertainment.
Let's see. High profile cockup? Check. Managerial panic? Check. "Must do it now, now, now" software mod to a complex system to fix it? Check.
I'll bet that they're trimming the testing and QC processes to rush the fix out and prevent another tabloid page 2 quality fuckup. What they'll get, of course, is a whole new set of different pig's ears.
Watch this space.....
The school and the company should have their arses fined off. Maybe they should be exterminated and their unloved ones receive threatening absenteeism letters for the rest of their lives a la Readers Digest.
(Paris cos at least she realizes when someone's dead...)
a vision
A vision of the future for the database society
Hooray for Crapita
SIMS was my first exposure to real enterprisey software as a young and naive IT monkey.
Truly, it is an utterly repellent collection of buggy crapplets, ever so carefully obfuscated at the database and protocol levels to prevent people from attempting to replace any of the system with code that might actually *work*
I always loved the way that the support package was an optional expense... not that anyone would be able to use the software without it, given its tendency to break in various weird and wonderful ways throughout the year whenever an update to fix the last catastrophic problem was released.
Somehow I expect crapita to weather this economic downturn if all their projects work this way.
This may be the first time this has happened with a dead pupil, but hundreds of pupils leave or change schools after enrolling in September. Has it not been brought to Capita's attention that schools are routinely sending letters to pupils who have left despite apparently being deleted from the schools live records?
Doctor's Certificate?
Does SIMS suffer the same problem in cases of long-term illness? Perhaps the school administrator should have entered the death certificate as a Doctor's certificate, after all, that's what it is.
The title mislead me... it should be "truancy letter" I was expecting it to be an attendance certificate for the pupil, which could have been funny, if sick, and open up the possibility of accusing the school of "preventing lawful burial of a body", or something. This is just... sad.
Capita strike again!
The only surprise is that they didn't also accuse her of watching TV without a licence.
Crapita strikes again
No surprise to readers of Private Eye that Craptia are yet again responsible for a cock-up. How they manage to KEEP getting government contracts with their appalling record is a mystery.
It's an example in a different sphere, but...
This is why a national DNA database is a crap idea. Imagine a small human error (in software design, or someone forgets to sync up something, etc) which results in you being fingered for a murder or rape, and your life is ruined because of some automatic matching software which may or may not be accurate according to standards you may have trouble contradicting...
the DNA database computer would effectively be "deep thought"... incontravertible, all-knowing - at least to a jury of your peers.
Best case, the DNA database is proven to be utterly unreliable and we pay a fortnue for a crap white elephant which is less useful that when it only contained known felons.
Worst case, we have 20 years of miscarraiges of justice and an intransigent police force and justice community who won't listen.
This story just goes to show how databases + human error = terrible _individual_ stories.
Lazy Cow
She'll never get anywhere in this world with an attitude like that!
Not the computer's fault
The Capita system may have printed the letter, but it wasn't the numpty that stuffed it in an envelope without looking...
Busineses and organisations have been using 'computer error' -themed excuses for misguided correspondence for two decades now. How is it we can laud over our technological advancements in medicine, space exploration and criminology, yet we are still not capable of checking if a letter is being sent to the wrong people?
This is NOT a computer error. This is a HUMAN error and the sooner these incompetents stop blaming everything other than themselves the sooner we can actually move civilisation forward a bit!
What's the problem?
Surely the kid would have no problem getting a note from their mum then?
Seriously, if you want to "save costs and drive efficency" you use computers and software, if these don't work properly then it doesn't remove your own responsibility for the task, regardless of who you pay to do the work for you it's still your responsibility (yes you can blame somebody else for the failing, but it's still your responsibility).
@ Jeff
SDS (Sudden Death Syndrome) is soo not funny - thats someones daughter you are talking about - please show some respect.
I remember when I was 11 and one of the 6 year olds in the school just dropped dead - it totally shattered her family - none of the girls were ever the same. Let alone the parents. Going through that again because some cheapass outsourcing company screwed things up makes things 100 times worse.
I lost my partner recently at 22 years old - she was diagnosed with cancer at 15 and fought with everything she had. It should never have happened, but I would hate to make any sort of comment like you did and cheapen someones memory like that - where the parents or siblings of this girl might see it.
Again, I'd ask you to please show some respect for this family... and if anyone feels like nailing up Capita Execs to the wall of their HQ by their intimates ... you have my blessing!
No they didn't
"Capita apologise to stunned parents"
They most certainly did not.. they asked the school to do it for them which stinks.
Frankly the UK director and the board should go to the parents house, cap in hand and admit that their software is shit and they are all going to give a month of their salary to the charity of the parents choice for causing such distress.
Once again a company who churn out shite products as cheaply as possible so that they can maximise their profits show that that they really have no fucking clue about real life.
Not reasonable to blame it on human error
The school has over 800 pupils. Why would anyone expect an admin assistant to recognise a particular name, especially since the school had done the right thing and taken her off the roll?
In any case, the pay offered to school admin assistants is barely enough to attract someone who can breathe, let alone someone who can think. It's probably because all the funding is going to Crapita.
If the school erred in any way it was in having any faith at all in the system that the LEA foisted on them
I told my wife, who has to use that POS every day, about this story and her first reaction was one of surprise. She was surprised that the school involved had even managed to get SIMS to print that letter never mind it sending a letter to a dead girl.
Re "If SIMS is in anyway representative of software used in government, there's no hope. Mine's the one with the passport and one-way tickets to, well, anywhere will do."
Sadly it probably is.
Where I work (which shall remain nameless), we bought an off the shelf system for a project. The man who suggested the software didn't check whether it scaled well. It didn't and was designed for far less data thanwe were planning to store.
The manager's solution? Sue the supplier for so much money that they promptly folded, thus guaranteeing a total lack of support for the system and eventually having to replace the system with one that is far from perfect, but at least works..
And yes, I do work for a moderately large public organisation.
@ Ross Luker @Luis Ogando et al.
If tasks are denatured with overlays of procedure and mechanisation then it's fairly obvious that mistakes like this will happen. Computers are a useful servant but a hideous master, as the saying goes.
The teaching staff are probably so busy with league table assessments, duty of care assessments and other assorted paperwork introduced by political meddlers that posting of the now mandatory attendance record has been delegated to someone who doesn't actually know the children.
There has been human error as well as a software one. The human error was the assumption that procedure is more important than process; that rules, regulations, check-sheets and computers are a substitute for personal interaction.
But wait for clarification and reassurance from Westminster: once the national child database is up and running and connected to all the other databases, errors such as this will become much less frequent.
Computers should not be used by governments
for control of the populace. It is morally wrong, the first time was IBM and the holocaust.
Computers should only be used to improve service without holding distinct records on any person.
Anything else is wrong, period.
All developers and admins should sign a form of hippocratic oath to that affect, anyone working on a government database that can be used to control the populace is a traitor to the people and humanity.
Data protection act.
States - "Personal data shall be accurate and, where necessary, kept up to date."
Or was complying with the law not part of the original bid for the work, and perhaps added as a billable change request later...
Mind you - how most of these consultancies manage to comply with the rest of the DPA for instance "not transmitting the data outside of the EU" whilst developing the systems off shore is beyond me...
I'm getting sick of the offensive knee-jerk reactions....
...of many of the commenters on El Reg.
"but some fucking numpty had to put the bloody letter in an envelope."
You have NO IDEA of how many letters went out. It could have been a pile of a couple of hundred, including standard letters about school uniform or such-like. It won't have been just one.
For all you know, it could have been some temp covering for someone who was ill with stress, because of people like you spending their time swearing at them for something that wasn't their fault.
But don't consider that. Just blame the fucking numpty.
error detected USER
Well the software works fine - its the users in this case who need a swift kick up the arse.
the dead girl was NOT in school and as a result had poor attendance. that was specifically the computers job and it did it perfectly well.
The humans on the other hand had one job which they fucked up, to tell the computer about the dead girl.
its not rocket science.

Err, so how come I managed to e-mail your news desk about this at 12:32 on the 25th with this link to a BBC story http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/manchester/7963081.stm??
The real mistake
is clearly one of bad system design. Whoever thought SIMS up evidently didn't work their way through a list of possible events affecting students like (a) died and (b) moved to another school and (c) emigrated to another country.
All of these events should lead to cession of automatic communications with, or regarding, affected students, while still allowing one-off matters like printing out a transcript.
This is such an elementary mistake to make, you have to wonder just where Capita is finding their employees.
In fact, it's not a mistake: it's just stupid downright incompetence.
@Damien Thorn
Which bits of "Megan's name had been taken off the school roll when she died and removed from the main school database" and "Capita had acknowledged that there is a problem with part of its software and is working to remedy it, because they realised that it could affect other schools" are particularly difficult to understand?
Stop squabbling, you guys (& gals)
It's a sad mistake, could've been avoided with more care at several stages of the process. Hopefully will now be fixed. Let's move on.
(NB I heartily despise Crapita, this isn't intended to defend their position).
Anyone ask the Obvious?
This software must be a relic from the old days of timeshare systems. What its doing in a UK school deserves some thought since they never used to have these systems back 30years ago when this type of software would have been developed. (And they certainly wouldn't have outsourced the work.)
Now, we're all IT types. Let's think about this a minute. A high school has maybe 2000 pupils, say 5000 to be generous (keep track of old pupils). You need to keep contact information and attendance information on this lot, information that would be difficult to put in more than a thousand bytes or so per individual. This 'database' could be run on a modern cellphone (although it would be difficult to hook the VT100s up to it!)
This is a SCAM folks. Someone has sweet talked the government into foisting legacy IT systems and work on the school system. Great for Capita, not so good for school budgets (they really need to spend the money on stuff like teachers and buildings).
blame game
Easier to blame the computer than to blame the utter lack of caring or quality control on the part of the schools who use the system, the programmers who wrote the system, or the company that profits from the system.
Me? I blame management. It's ALWAYS their fault, one way or another. Unfortunately, shit never sticks to those bastards.
poor design
How many simultaneous users do you think a school has for SIMS? What do you think the throughput of data is? Not that many and not much.
So why the need to replicate data within the SIMS system, why are they having multiple databases?
Any application they write should be able to fetch the data from a single database quite adequately.
Is the system really that complicated that in order to facility the design by the designers, they've partitioned it to have multiple databases hosted on different machines and replicate data? I doubt it.
As I said right at the start, poor system design.
@Martin Usher
"This 'database' could be run on a modern cellphone "
Looks like they sub-contracted the "Design" work to that well bunch of con-sultants, "Bolton and Lashup."
This makes me feel better...
I work for a school in NSW, Australia... And you can bet the software we have to deal with is just as dodgy.
And to those who suggest it's bad software for storing the info in multiple databases.... If schools over there are anything like the NSW public ones, there is a mandated database that data MUST be in, followed by piles of 3d party tools that can't write to the mandatory database but are required to maintain sanity.
Making things worse, the NSW department of education now has 2 databases that MUST be entered into, but one feeds into the other for enrollment details. So there's 2 levels for student info, and some details don't transfer over correctly, which leads to them not going into the 3rd party stuff. Brilliant.

We are proud to announce the winners of the 40th annual Wheels Day Insurance prize. If you're listed, get in touch! See winners
I can highly recommend Brentacre Insurance for specialist vehicles, we have been dealing with Darren Coote for our Hot Rod insurance for at least 10 years & followed him to Brentacre so we could deal with him for our insurance. He actually knows what he is talking about when it comes to Vintage Hot Rods & realizes what goes into building a period Hot Rod. We know he would be fighting our corner if we had an accident in one of them. we also have our dailys insured with Brentacre & when I had an accident in mine Darren sorted everything, even getting me a brand new courtesy car with a tow bar so we could still use the caravan, the repairs to my car were faultless & the whole claim stress free.

St. Thomas the Apostle Community Garden
A Garden of Quotes
"Though I do not believe that a plant will spring up where no seed has been, I have great faith in a seed. Convince me that you have a seed there, and I am prepared to expect wonders."...Henry David Thoreau
About the St. Thomas Community Garden
The U.S. Episcopal Church has embraced the Millennium Development Goals established by the United Nations to reduce suffering worldwide in eight critical areas by 2015. The number one millennium development goal: eradicate extreme poverty and hunger.
In 2007 members of St. Thomas the Apostle Church took an empty lot adjacent to the church and began the work to turn it into a community garden as their way of embracing this goal and growing food to fight hunger where we live.
Today, two large pantry plots are growing a wide variety of foods: lettuce, spinach, swiss chard, collards, mustard greens, onions, garlic, beans, peas, cucumbers, peppers and okra to name a few, with all the food harvested going to local food pantries dedicated to fighting hunger in our community.
We are working especially close with the Resource Center of Dallas and North Dallas Shared Ministries.
In addition, 16 private plots are worked by individuals growing food for their own use but with a promise to tithe 10 percent of their harvest to a local food pantry of their choice.
The garden strives to be organic in all its activities. In 2009, compost bins were constructed and shredded paper is often used as mulch in an effort to be as green as possible. The garden is corporately sponsored by Preservation Tree Service Inc. and they have been instrumental in helping on numerous projects in the garden.
Its been a remarkable transformation from vacant lot to bountiful garden in such a short period of time.
In April 2008, the Presiding Bishop of the U.S. Episcopal Church, the Most Rev. Katharine Jefferts Shori came to Dallas to bless the garden with a Rogation Ceremony.
The garden is also a popular volunteer/outreach activity for many community groups such as: The Boy Scouts, The Young Mens Service League, local churches and synagogues, local school groups and many individuals from the community as well, which further highlights the community aspect of the garden.
The community garden, as well as our recently restored and rebuilt church facilities reflect our commitment and growth as a parish of thinking, tolerant Christians engaged in life with our God, our families and friends, and the broader community within the best traditions of the Episcopal Church, said the Rev. Stephen J. Waller, Rector of St. Thomas.

Home of Heroes: South Tyneside in the First World War
- 10 July 2014 — 24 January 2015 *on now
Three recipients of the Victoria Cross were born in South Tyneside – Henry Howey Robson of South Shields, Thomas Young of Boldon Colliery and Joseph Henry Collin of Jarrow. John Simpson Kirkpatrick, another son of South Shields, is also remembered for his heroic acts at Gallipoli. But away from the battlefields, there were countless heroes on the home front. This exhibition will explore the key role played by the people of South Tyneside in supporting the war effort, from the seafarers who risked their lives to bring vital foodstuffs and raw materials into the country, to those who worked in the mines, factories and shipyards, including many women.

The Magazine War Hero: First World War Stories about Heroic Exploits
- 5 December 2014 11am-12pm
Whereas professional soldiers before 1914 had had a somewhat mixed reputation in Britain, the First World War changed how soldiers were perceived at home. Since so many sons, brothers, husbands and friends went to war, the anxious British public needed new, more reassuring ways of thinking about soldiering; the image of the modern-day war hero was promoted by the state as a morale-booster and by everyday men and women whose loved ones were at the front as a way of paying respect to those at the front.
This talk by Northumbria University lecturer Ann-Marie Einhaus complements the 'Home of Heroes' exhibition currently showing at South Shields Museum & Art Gallery. It looks beyond official newspaper reports and accolades for war heroes, at the depiction of heroic exploits in fiction, especially collections of stories and popular magazines.

INDIANAPOLIS — The State Board of Education approved "A-F" school grades Wednesday showing that more than half of Indiana's 2,000-plus schools earned an "A'' under the key school rating system, and that the number of schools with that top grade has surged nearly a third in the past three years.
The board approved the grades for nearly 2,100 schools and 300 school corporations on Wednesday following a three-week delay so that legislative staff could verify some data.
The grades are crucial for schools and school systems because they are the primary factors used in determining teacher pay and school funding, as well as helping decide whether a school is taken over by private operators.
The new grades for 2013-14 show that about 1,100 schools were given an "A," up from about 940 schools in the previous school year. Schools with the top grade also have increased 31 percent from about 850 in the 2011-12 school year. Meanwhile, significantly fewer schools were assigned an "F'' or a "D'' in the new data, while those earning either a "B'' or "C'' declined slightly.
"This data shows significantly increased performance for our schools, particularly in schools that have been lower performing in prior years," state Superintendent Glenda Ritz said in a statement.
During Wednesday's meeting, the board of education heard from officials with four school districts who complained about problems with the school grade appeals process. Among them was West Noble School Corp. Superintendent Dennis Van Duyne, who testified that his northern Indiana district has the highest Hispanic student enrollment in the state.
Van Duyne said his district's new grades had suffered due to inaccurate data that the Indiana Department of Education factored into the grading formula regarding the number of Hispanic students who had abruptly left the district. He said the district had not submitted some data on those former students because he said the appeal instructions indicated some paperwork was optional.
"We feel the system has not been accurate, it's not been fair to us," he said. "... And it hasn't been transparent because even to this day, I don't know what would have been enough documentation where they would say, 'Yes, now we'll give you credit for those students leaving.'"
Officials with Wabash City Schools, South Vermillion Community School Corp. and Evansville's New Tech Institute also complained to the board about the grade appeals process, describing it as frustrating or not transparent.
Before approving the school grades, the board voted to direct the Department of Education, which Ritz oversees, to help address those districts' or school's concerns before the board gives final approval to their grades at the panel's December meeting. Ritz also told board members that her department would conduct a review its school grade appeal process.

Rated 3.4 out of 5 by 1258 reviewers.
Rated 4 out of 5 by 032750 Dallas 2014 The room was comfortable and the environment was pleasant. The staff were not as responsive as I would have liked. One day I requested wash cloths and they were never delivered. Although the food in the restuarant was good, the service was extremely slow. July 1, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by Blake1915 Very poor hotel My wife and I checked in to attend the Margarita Ball on Saturday afternoon around 3:30pm. We attempted to valet park, but as I finally was able to drive under the awning, aftern 45 minute wait, I was rudely informed valet lot was full. Went to the room and attempted to shower, being met with ice cold water and no washcloths. We ordered chocolate strawberries at 5pm and were told an hour wait. At 7pm they had not arrived, and we had to leave for the event. We called for roomservice at 11:05pm and were told they had closed. My wife asked where our strawberries were and she was told, rooomservice had closed. A nice girl named Carmen said they would still bring them. Around 11:30pm they finally arrived. About 6 hours late. We wokd at 9am to shower and again my wife and I had the pleasure of an ice cold shower. Be assured, we will not be staying at this hotel again. November 25, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by Kelly Guest services was terrible After waiting in line for about 30 minutes to check in, 3 people were put in a king room. Our reservations clearly showed 3 people. We were told at check in we could request a rollaway. We tried calling guest services for over an hour, we were put on hold and disconnected over 10 times. and then went to guest services to speak to a manager. We were told rooms arent guaranteed if booked through a 3rd party and we would get a rollaway. Never received the roll away. We were so tired 3 of us fell asleep in the king bed until the people next door started arguing at 2:30 am. Called guest services and was put through to security - yes I got through at 2:30 am. Dont think they ever did anything. The arguing went on for over 30 minutes. Worst hotel stay ever !! I will never stay at or recommend Sheraton hotels. I guess if you book through a 3rd party you are a 2nd rate customer. March 4, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by Andy0616 Did not have a good experience I made a reserveation for a "club level" assuming the club room would be close to the room. I was placed in a Junior Suite in another tower that was at the other end of the hotel. That being said, the premium paid for the club level was not worth it the inconvience. Also, room did not come with sleeper sofa bedding and they were eventually delivered as told there were no pillows left. Really? No pillows. March 4, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by Jill22 Not a great experience Overall experience was terrible. Staff was rude, housekeeping never responded to requests that were made multiple times leaving us with no towels, no coffee and frustrated with the lack of respect as a guest to even respond to a simple request. The room was dusty and dirty, found an ant on our bed, ran out of toilet paper, and hair in our beds upon arrival. The room was spacious which was nice and that's about it. February 11, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Amadeus Service with a Smile I must compliment your concierge service desk and bring special attention to one individual who went well beyond the call of duty - Dan. His response to one of my requests was done with such immediacy and respect that I felt as if I was the most important person in the building! This kind of service is rare today and instills in me the desire to stay at the Sheraton Dallas next time I'm in town. Well done, Dan! June 3, 2012
Rated 1 out of 5 by laurab448 Very disappointed Reception, valet and bell service was below average. 21.95 to park. I am glad that I went through some other company for reservations !!! Parking price is ridiculous. Upon arrival it took Valet at least 15 minutes to valet car and get luggage out. Waited to check in for 20 minutes. When I finally got to the desk I showed them my SPG card and they sent me to the SPG counter where I waited another 10 for a manager. Room was clean, but no fridge or microwave, Housekeeping staff and consiere staff were awesome !!!!! At check out, I went to the SPG counter only to be told that I had to go to the regular check out line because I was only a Preferred member. Waited 30 minutes to check out, over an hour for a bellman and 20 minutes to get my car from valet. I stayed at Sheraton Marketcenter in Dallas and my parking (20.00 a day) and Internet was comped and due to being an SPG member. August 5, 2012
Rated 1 out of 5 by Rich1963 First time Sheraton has let me Down I had room with two beds I could not sleep in one of the beds the sheets had such an odor. I ran out of shampoo, soap, toilet paper and let the front desk know. House keeping cleaned my room the second day I looked in the bathroom there was toilet paper but no soap or shampoo. I had to find a maids cart to pick out supplies for my room. I requested wake up calls twice I never received a call both days. December 17, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by ks34 Felt like a Queen Reading some of the previous reviews I'm thinking maybe they got the memo. After a tiring 3 1/2 hour drive the man at the desk was very kind and helpful. The next day, Michael, the concierge, did everything he could to get my questions answered. I stayed in the North Tower. The room was lovely as well as the view. The bathroom was definitely not small. My only complaint is no free wi-fi in the room?! December 5, 2011
Rated 1 out of 5 by Wedding25 Worst hotel experience ever!!! We booked this hotel as part of a block for my sister's wedding. The problems began from the very start. We had problems booking our reservation under the wedding block, the entire hotel staff was rude, we were lied to about joining rooms- still not sure if you have them or not! Dining room waiters were rude!!! Had to go inside to get valet to come out! Very poor service! Will never stay again!!! November 29, 2011
Rated 3 out of 5 by MCVicki Very good hotel ruined by quality of food. We expected better from Food/Bev. We've had far better quality food for 1/3 the price. Don't mind payiing if the quality of food and service matches the cost. Toast burned, eggs dry, hash browns burned and hard, ham burned in some spots. No smiles, unfriendly in both bar and restaurant. Felt uncomfortable with Waitress in the bar. May 6, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by mrbad This place is horrible and gives all Starwood hotels a bad name SOO many things when wrong... 1. My room was horrible 2. A rattling noise every 5 minutes in the ceiling all night long 3. TV channels didnt work 4. Shower was BARELY a drip 5. I thought they had come around when i went to the gym (iuts nice) but they had NO water in there.. hard to work out when the water is empty. 6. Parking- I paid 21/ day for parking but on the first day could not get out of the parking garage for 20 mins and the phones didnt work to call someone to help- I was 20 mins late to a meeting 7. When they did move to a new room, it was much smaller and had visible water damage in the shower, was dirty 8. failed to clean the room on the 3rd day until I called- I was out of the room all day from 8 am to 5:00 pm 9. They then screwed up the billing by splitting it into 2 bills and not giving me the first one.. Great job Sheraton.. I will NEVER stay here again and now I question all sheratons... January 27, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by MJames13 Very Disappointed will not visit this location in the future Unfortunately I was sadly impacted by the LAX airport shooting in Los Angeles on 11/1/13. After waiting outside of the airport for 7 hours, our flight with Virgin was cancelled with no other options but to purchase another flight with another airline. My husband and I were planning to visit Dallas for his birthday to attend a Mavs and Cowboy game! To our disappoinment, we just could not afford 600 to purchase another flight. Everybody was very accomodating in refunding and cancelling our reservations, the rental car and another hotel. But Sheraton refused to help up get our money back for the night that we could not make it! I just wanted to share the non-emotion that this hotel has for such a tragic event that some of us had to endure with no control of our own! Thank you but no thank you Sheraton Dallas, I will NEVER visit or recommend your establishment. But I will continue to stay at other SPG locations. November 20, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by rtlover Disappointed!! I was extremely disappointed with this hotel. I heard really good reviews about this hotel from coworkers that had previously stayed…maybe change in management? The beds are very hard, and the toilets throughout the hotel kept me up- literally you could hear the toilets flushing on different floors. I stayed on the 8th floor and it had a strange odor (a coworker stayed on the 9th floor and it didn't smell). The staff aren't very friendly (a few were friendly). The waitress in the sports bar even told me three different time I didn't know what I was ordering, and that I was wrong. When I got home I checked my credit card and saw I had a charge- I called the hotel and the staff was extremely rude when I asked about their holding policy (she literally told me that the front desk didn't know the holding policy and I HAD to call back and talk to Accounting). Bottom line- I would not recommend this hotel to anyone. April 12, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by Junior60 NOT THE BEST The air conditioning was not constant. it would be cool to go to bed but then the room would get hot during the night. The food was not that great according to the price being charged. I could not check out early by paying cash but leaving a credit card on file if needed. It was difficult getting checked in for my stay. May 6, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by Unsatisfied10 Worst hotel experience - three rooms, and two hours later We checked in at 3pm on Saturday and were given a room in the North tower. Upon entering the room, we were extremely surprised to find that the room was still occupied and walked in on a very surprised gentleman. After apologizing profusely, my wife and I hauled our luggage back to the front desk to wait in line again. Without an apology or offer to transport our luggage, we were given a second room. This time the room had not been cleaned with food, mail from previous guest, and used linens scattered about the room. A call to the front desk on resulted in a half-hearted apology and assurance that they would send someone ASAP to clean the room. Not satisfied, we hauled our bags again to the front desk. The third time, we were offered an apology and two breakfast vouchers for our trouble but still no offer to at least transport our bags. After two hours and three rooms, I can safely say that I will not be visiting again. November 15, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 Daughter's Wedding Food and service was great. We had two bartenders, one was awesome and the other was terrible. No a big deal though as we all had a great time. Chaparral Room has great view of Dallas skyline. All hotel staff were friendly and accommodating. Parking system was horrible as parking cards seemed to never work. I would recommend the hotel as great place for wedding. June 24, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by KaliTraveller just horrible Without a doubt the worst SPG property I've stayed at. They put SPG Plat in a room next to the elevator, I didnt sleep all night. No one answered the phone, literally no one. Didnt tell me where club lounge was, and, on checkout, not one person asked how my stay was. Honestly the worst treatment I've received as a Plat. I cannot say worse things. March 10, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by arch0072 Hotel was clean and had freindly staff Overall the Room was nice, could use some updating as it's an older hotel. The staff was nice and helpful. The only downfall was the in house restaurant Kitchen table, we had a gathering as a team and their quoted signature dish fried pot roast was terrible, very dry and lacking any flavor and requiring steak sauce to make it edible. January 16, 2012
Rated 1 out of 5 by Unta777 Do Not Stay in the South Tower! Stayed in the South Tower last week for two nights. What a piece of crap. The rooms in the other two towers are nice. South Tower rooms have peeling wallpaper, HVAC that doesn't work, bathrooms are incredibly small. When checking out, staff said they are going to remodel. Cannot charge the same nightly rate for a substandard room. March 13, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Eddie917 Hotel was great We had a great stay, clean rooms. and good service. Staff was great, only issue was elevators.They were not working very well, requiring preventive maintainance. Elevators at one time not working at all. Other than that, we had a good stay. Keep up the good work. May 5, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by bRb1982 Hotel is Tired I get it caters to the convention crowd - not the most sophisticated of people but the staff seems tired and irritable ( no doubt having to deal with convention people). The rooms were dark and tasteless. No hot water in the shower. Two double beds when I requested a king (I'm platinum level so maybe I'm just too spoiled). December 14, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by saemstay22 Review22 Excellent responsiveness of front desk. I enjoyed the benefit of WiFi. When hotel cards wouldn't work, front desk offered me a complimentary drink to make up for my trouble. Food at "Draft" was excellent. May 20, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by RichardM Good Location, Needs TLC The Sheraton Dallas is an enormous hotel in a good, central location. Rooms are comfy, and there are plenty of amenities on the main floor. However, a few issues soured my stay. 1.Housekeeping didn't clean our room. Twice. When I called to ask why, it was met with a shrug. 2. There is a potential safety issue in the parking garage across the street. The elevator lobby is dark, dingy, and all the light bulbs are burned out. Apparently its been like this for months. 3. The 2nd floor pathway linking parking garage to the hotel requires you to walk through a dark, wide open, unsupervised ballroom floor. It's kind of creepy, especially at night. 4. Trip coincided with New Year's Eve. The hotel was full of intoxicated high school/college kids. Plenty of drama. Security seemed to be overwhelmed by the crowd and couldn't maintain control. Someone pulled the fire alarm which stopped the elevators from operating. It was just ... messy. Something you wouldn't expect at a 4* hotel. January 3, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by slking Spectacular Experience Upon checking in I was disappointed there were no upgrades available, but encouraged that checking back the next day I might be able to find one. The room was pretty small and smelled of fresh paint, however that didn't matter in the long run. There was a beautiful gift shop on site, a fun and exciting scene downstairs at the bar and the service by the senior members of the staff was next to none! We had an issue with the gate not opening for the parking garage and the valet did not handle it the way I would have liked, and when the head of the valets asked about my stay later and I told him he told me he would personally follow up with the overnight valet attendant, encouraged me to report the fresh paint smell and the smaller room to the desk and request a room in the previously renovated tower. I did so, was immediately moved to another room and treated like royalty. I appreciated the service, the smiles, and the eagerness to please from the entire staff. I would definitely go back! June 14, 2012
Rated 1 out of 5 by Maryannb Never Again My husband and I will NEVER stay at your hotel again. Although your staff was very kind, the room was not cleaned well, 1 trash can for a suite, no refrigerator. We did order a small refrigerator for $20.00 and it leaked. The food at every restaurant AND room service was awful. Thank you. February 11, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by PDLOHappyme Lifetime, Spectacular Memories at Sheraton Dallas TX Ms. Carrie rolled out the carpet with an unforgettable weekend that left sweet lifetime memories. Limo transport services to and from the airport. As we arrived tired and hungry from the long plane ride, we walked into a luxurious and spacious 2 bedroom Executive Suite, with 2 queen beds each, rose pedals on the bed, personalized gift package, and some finger licking BBQ dinner to die for. Thanks so much Carrie for these lifetime memories, that will get me back to the Sheraton sooner than later. Outstanding staff, was very personable, courteous, and polite, great buffet breakfast in the lobby area restaurant, loved the Fitness Center, close proximity to Dart transportation system to the American Airline Center, all of which far exceeded my expectation of the Sheraton Hotel. Such an awesome experience, down to the complimentary Business Services for printing our boarding passes. Loved it! Thank you ALL for this dream vacation. Keep up the good work and God Bless you. Our family will always treasure it. September 10, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by JessV Dissapointed I expected much more from the price of the room and the Sheraton name but I was let down. September 24, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by camper1 I would never go back We had problems from over 30 minutes to deliver our beverages to our table, to room service over charges to LONG lines, LONG waits to speak with a manager and to top it off, reviewing my credit card bill upon arriving home they overcharged me from the final ZEROED OUT STATEMENT!!!! February 12, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by wayne8 Executive Suite We had problems with the heating & A/C that were never resolved or compensated for. The 1st night, we came in late and though the room was warm, we just thought it would take time to cool down, but it didn't. The next day, we reported it. It took 2 repairmen over an hour to fix it. They fixed it too well and it would not stop cooling. I reported that the next day and they apologized and gave me 2 breakfast coupons, which I told them I would not be able to use. The cold days and nights that followed outside were just as cold inside. My wife didn't want to have to pack up and move again, so we stuck it out for 2 more days. Other than that and the ungodly tipping of Valet, everything else was fine. You would think that at the very least in the Executive Suite there would be a refrigerator and micro wave, but those were scarce, costly, and didn't work right, though we did get the fridge for free. It froze everything we put in it no matter where the dial was set, really useless as it ruined all of our left overs and drinks. January 26, 2014

The plastic lever is holding up well. Caution: VERY hot water makes this sprayer get very hot while holding it. I did learn that it supposedly has a 10-year limited warranty but I've not been able to obtain a printed copy of it, which is very disappointing.

The Maharashtra / Gujrat personnel are looking for night entertainment
Keralites are looking to get drunk- fast.
Rajasthanis are looking for places to score dope
Tamilians retire to their rooms individually and lock the door
Karnatakans are looking for shopping experiences
Does this observation GENERALLY apply to the states of those respective people or is it just an isolated observation?

Gov. Scott Walker has expanded a drought emergency to all 72 counties of Wisconsin.
Walker took the action Wednesday because of the abnormally dry conditions extending across most of the state.
In a statement, Walker says the increase in wildfires because of the hot weather and lack of rain is adding to the risk of "major economic losses, especially in agriculture."
Last week, Walker declared a drought emergency in 42 Wisconsin counties.
The statewide executive order directs Wisconsin Emergency Management to coordinate state efforts in response to the drought. It also directs all state agencies to assist in the response and recovery.
The declaration also waives fees and expedites the permitting process to allow farmers to divert water from certain streams and lakes without causing serious environmental damage.
