Apple sexes up Time Capsule
Time Capsule needs a big cool down
My 10 month old Time Capsule has been worrying me greatly, after walking through the Dead Time Capsule Cemetery ( http://www.timecapsuledead.org/ ).
I don't have Apple Care for my computer -- if I did, all I have to do is wait for it to die, and Apple will replace it. Instead, I am now keeping it raised on 1" wooden blocks on the corners. And to better cool it, I pulled off the rubber base -- whereupon I got some thermal burns on the ends of my fingers from the metal base plate. Now I am considering the next step -- cutting a hole in the base and putting in a fan.
Apple delays 17in MacBook Pro
Shipping Date
My Apple account lists the shipping date for my order at the 19th of February - two weeks back from the 6th of February previous shipping date. My MBP order has the faster hard drive, nothing else custom.
There was a delay in the 17" unibody before. This has the new built-in battery with the 8 hour use span (it's probably more like 6 hours). I can only speculate that the delay is in the innovative feature of this model, namely the battery. Maybe it's so that no one can start a class action lawsuit over the battery life spanning 6 hours instead of 8.
Yes! It's the cardboard PC!
Cardboard Fibers
There are problems enough for the fan motor collecting dust and inhibiting the movement of cool air. But dust + cardboard fibers clogging the fan motor?
It appears that the cardboard case has corrugations to allow vertical movement of cooling air, but the securing straps appear to get in the way of that. Also, the cooling fan pulls the air to the bottom of the unit, near the power supply. Which is where all of that cardboard dust will collect. And overheat the computer.
Apple MacBook Pro 15in
Matte Screen optional?
On the Apple Store webpage, under the purchase options for the MacBook Pro 17", there is a matte screen option. I have not gone the extra step of actually ordering it, because I just learned from this article that a newer 17" MBP might be coming out in a couple of months.

Yesterday, we reported that actress Zoe Saldana is pregnant with her first child.
Today, that rumor has been amended, and it now seems that Saldana is pregnant with her first children!
Yes, E! News claims multiple sources have confirmed that Saldana and her husband Marco Perego are expecting twins some time in early 2015.
Saldana has yet to confirm the news, but insiders close to the couple say she and Marco are thrilled with the prospect of welcoming two bundles of joy.
Of course, with her incredibly hectic filming schedule, Zoe won't have much time for maternity leave:

FHSU's Herman earns regional golf bid
Fort Hays State junior Trey Herman has been selected as an individual to the Division II Midwest/Central Regional to be held May 5-7 at Fox Run Golf Club in Eureka, Mo., just outside of St. Louis. Herman was one of four individuals on non-qualifying teams from the regional to be selected.
Teams selected to compete in the event from the Central Region include Central Missouri, Arkansas Tech, Henderson State, Northeastern State, Central Oklahoma, Nebraska-Kearney, Southeastern Oklahoma State, Lindenwood, Southwestern Oklahoma State, and St. Cloud State. Individuals selected included Herman, Ross Miller of Minnesota State, Kowan O'Keefe of Minot State, and Ryan Burek of Missouri Southern.
Herman finished second in the MIAA individual point standings in the regular season and earned All-MIAA honors. He looks for the chance to advance to the NCAA Championships if he can be one of the top two individuals at the regional.

Theme - Specify Default Theme to Load for New Users
How to Specify a Default Theme to Load for New Users in Windows 7
Published by Brink
24 Apr 2010 - Views: 94524
|11 May 2010
Hi Shawn:
I was able to use this procedure to set the default theme in Window 7 Pro 32 bit OS. But, in Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit OS the new user doesn't get the default theme. I checked the registry key and the key is enabled and the group poliocy to load a specific thjeme is enabled and the path is correct. Is there a bug in windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit thta prevents the common theme to be set for all new users?
Thank you,
|My System Specs
|11 May 2010
Hello Erin,
Umm, it worked before on my 64- bit Windows 7 Ultimate, but I'm getting a the Windows Classic theme instead now for the new user no matter what them I specify. I'll have to do some more test to see what happened. Perhaps some update or something?
|My System Specs

Default Theme is working better in W7 Ultimate 64 bit
Hi all:
There must have been an update because now when I set a default theme for new users, the new user does get the correct wallpaper and start menu confugurations. The new user still doesn't get all of the desktop ICONs specified though. There may be other settign that are missed but, at least we are moving in the right direction!
|My System Specs
|24 May 2010
That's great news Erco.
Did you mean the actual icon used for the desktop icons, or not having some of the desktop shortcuts?
|My System Specs
|24 May 2010
Sorry, the shortcuts are missing from the desktop for a new user. I also found that the IE favorites are missing as well.
|My System Specs
|24 May 2010
These would not be part of a theme though.
However, you can copy any shortcuts that you would like to have included on all users desktops to the hidden C:\Users\Public\Public Desktop folder.
Unfortunately, you will need to manually copy any favorites that you would like to have included into the users C:\Users\(user-name)\Favorites folder.
|My System Specs
|09 Jun 2010
I was too hasty in saying that the default theme is set for new users. In fact, it is not set for new users and this is a problem for my team. We build HW platforms and proprietary applications that require specific settings for menu size, windows color, fonts etc. I am able to capture these configuration settings in my saved theme and I am able to make the theme available to a new user by putting the .theme file in C:\Windows\Resources\Themes\myTheme.theme I used the group policy editor to enable the default theme and I checked the registry key to verify the setting is saved there. However, on my Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit OS, the default theme is not set for a new user by default. Can you verify that the default theme functinality is working for you? Or is it not working for you on a Windows 7 Ult 64 bit OS?
Please let me know if I'm doing something wrong or if MSFT can fix this. We are preparing to go to market in a few weeks and we need to get this resolved.
Thank you very much for your help,
|My System Specs
|09 Jun 2010
I think it may only be a issue with 64-bit. It seems to be working fine in 32-bit as reported so far.
|My System Specs
|10 Jun 2010
I'm not sure how this is helpful to my team?
Can somebody at MSFT please take a look at win 7 64 bit OS and confirm that the default theme policy can be enabled?
If I'm doing something wrong I need to know and if the OS is at fault then MSFT needs to know.

As I've said before, I lived in Philly and saw many games then. The atmosphere was more like a NASCAR event than a hockey game. Everybody wanted blood. The fans haven't changed. Even the high school players have the same mentality. I coached two different times in state championship games that had to be stopped by the referees because of the sportsmanship problem encountered during games with teams from Philly. One was in the 80s and the second in the early 90s. I don't think its gotten any better. You don't dare go to Philadelphia to play the title game. You either go to Hershey or Pittsburgh. When I lived there, I didn't realize how bad it was. I now go back for about 6 games a year. I also go to Toronto for 12 games a year which is a dream. The team Clarke put on the ice would be a winner 20 years ago, but not in the new NHL. The League has passed him by. ]]> By: AHLoldie http://hockeytraderumors.com/whats-goin-on-in-philly/comment-page-1/#comment-198816 Tue, 31 Oct 2006 19:45:05 +0000 http://localhost/wordpress24/?p=14504#comment-198816 Somebody PLEASE PLEASE put a muzzle on Leafy McLeaf.

Will Chris Hemsworth Star in 'Lethal Weapon' Reboot?
Warner Bros. has reportedly offered the Thor star the lead role in the fairly mysterious new Lethal Weapon movie.
Warner Bros. has reportedly offered the Thor star the lead role in the fairly mysterious new Lethal Weapon movie.
This week Brian Cronin takes aim at the legend that 1995′s Die Hard With a Vengeance began life as a screenplay for Lethal Weapon 4.
If the inevitable success of Prometheus is going to do anything within the industry, it's convince Hollywood that prequels are the way to put some new life into old franchises. We could argue that, no, the lesson should be getting talented filmmakers to think big and be ambitious, but why fight it? Here are five ideas for prequels to resurrect those other 1980s movie series that you loved.
Warner Bros. has hired Tales from the Gangster Squad scribe Will Beall to write a reboot of the Lethal Weapon series.
Ryan Reynolds just can't stop himself saying yes to movies. Not only does he have Deadpool, RIPD, Safehouse and the Green Lantern movies in his future, but now he's also apparently teaming with The Hangover's Bradley Cooper to play kids of cops.

KILL DEVIL HILLS, N.C. (AP) -- North Carolina's popular beach towns are returning to normal but the ocean that was churned by Hurricane Arthur remains dangerous because of powerful rip currents.
Arthur has been downgraded to a tropical storm, but its winds are still near-hurricane strength as they lash Canada's maritime provinces.
Utilities in Nova Scotia and New Brunswick say about 250,000 customers lost power. The storm also is causing flight delays and cancellations at the region's largest airport in Halifax.
Meanwhile, New England was largely spared from much storm damage, though utility crews in Maine and Vermont are working to restore power to more than 20,000.
Arthur dumped about 8 inches of rain in parts of southeastern Massachusetts, causing extreme street and area flooding in New Bedford. But the water has receded.
UPDATE: Tropical Storm Arthur has been downgraded again as it continues to weaken. Click the link on the right to see current hurricane threats.

November 26, 2014
Gov. Terry Branstad is defending his decision to sign into law a measure making Iowa the first state where it's a crime to lie in order to gain access to a livestock operation to record animal abuse.
Speaking Monday at his weekly news conference, Branstad noted the measure had bipartisan support in the House and Senate.
He scoffed at concerns that Iowa's livestock industry could suffer retaliation from animal welfare activists upset about the issue. He says other states are likely to follow Iowa's example and approve similar legislation.
Branstad says gaining access to property under false pretenses is a serious matter and property owners deserve protections.
The governor signed the measure Friday night, three days after it was approved by the Legislature.

As this year comes to a close, we decided to take a look at the Washington Business Journals stories that did well across three popular networks: Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn.
The results were a definite surprise. Each network attracted a mix of stories from our coverage areas this year. While big events were popular on each platform, there wasn't much overlap.

Houston: Order in the next 11 hours and 28 minutes for delivery today!
Sunday, September 7, 2014
HOUSTON (September , 2014) – Gallery Furniture and its owner Jim "Mattress Mack" McIngvale, are ready to make good on their promise to refund $4 million dollars to 519 customers who had faith the Astros would win 63 or more games this season.
In April 2014, McIngvale kicked off the contest offering full refunds to the first 500 customers who spent $6,300 or more at one of the Houston furniture store's two locations if the Houston Astros baseball team beat last season's number of wins by 12 games. That magic number, 63, also honors the birthday of owner Jim "Mattress Mack" McIngvale, who turned 63 years old in February.
"Some might think this promotion is over the top, and they are right," Mack says. "We want to give our customers another reason to get excited about our Houston Astros this season and even more excited about coming in to Gallery Furniture."
The first 500 customers who participated in the contest are eligible to be refunded their 100% of their purchase, or receive the 150% of the dollar amount spent in Gallery Furniture store credit. Refunds will be awarded at the 6006 North Freeway Gallery Furniture location beginning at 6:00PM on Sunday, October 12th, 2014, and will be available there until Friday, October 31st, 2014.
This isn't the first time McIngvale has had to pay out on a sports related promotion. In January 2014, more than 1,000 Houston families who participated in the Gallery Furniture Pigskin Promotions #1 and #2 received refunds totaling more than $8 million. For more information about Gallery Furniture, please visit galleryfurniture.com.
Since 1981, Gallery Furniture has grown from a neighborhood store to the largest furniture retailer per square foot in America by putting the customer first, living up to the promise to "Save You Money" and delivering quality furniture, mattresses and home electronics TODAY. With two locations in Houston, the original location at 6006 North Freeway and the newest location at 2411 Post Oak Blvd at Westheimer, Gallery Furniture features a wide selection of the best names in the industry like Tempur-Pedic, Stearns & Foster, Sealy Posturepedic, Mayo, United Leather, American Leather, Lane, Broyhill, Jonathan Louis and more. Committed to offering customers the best service and an entertaining family atmosphere, Gallery Furniture is more than a store, it's made in America.
Mack is available for media interviews regarding Gallery Furniture Baseball Promotion.

Meet the Masters contains the biographies of the eight strongest players in the world at that time. It includes their histories, photographs, games and an analysis and critique of their playing styles. Each of these eight players had been invited to the historic tournament at AVRO 1938, regarded as the strongest chess tournament ever held prior to modern times. The eight players generally regarded as the strongest in the world were: World Champion Alexander Alekhine, former champions José Raúl Capablanca and Max Euwe, future champion Mikhail Botvinnik and challengers Paul Keres, Reuben Fine, Samuel Reshevsky and Salo Flohr.
Dr. Max Euwe was world chess champion from 1935 to 1937. He played all of the great players from Lasker to Fischer in tournaments and studied all of their games in great detail. He knew more about them and their games than anybody else. Max Euwe was born on May 20, 1901 in Amsterdam, Netherlands. He has long been regarded as almost an accidental world champion due to the probably not true rumor that Alekhine was drunk when he lost the world title to Euwe in a 30-game match in 1935. This has resulted in a controversy that is still being debated today: Was Euwe really the strongest player in the world when he won the world championship in 1935? Regardless of that issue, Euwe was certainly the most active and prolific writer about the game. He was never a professional player. He had a real job. He was a math professor.
After retirement he became a chess official. He was president of FIDE, the World Chess Federation, from 1970 to 1978. This was during the Cold War and Euwe had to make difficult decisions for the good of chess. It was absolutely, definitely because of Euwe that Bobby Fischer got to sit down at the board to play a match for the World Chess Championship. Fischer had been disqualified many times along the way, the first time being when he refused to play in the US Championship that was a necessary preliminary to the World Chess Championship competition. Max Euwe, himself a past world champion, acted as both referee and official at the famous Iceland matches in 1972. Max Euwe died on November 26, 1981 in his native Amsterdam at age 80.

More reviews by emmjaepenniman
I have been using this moisturizer on my relaxed hair for about two months and I really like it. I like the thickness of it and it smells nice. I believe it keeps my hair more moisturized and healthy looking. Worth a try to any newbies :-)
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I have never had a product leave my hair so soft! No BS. I have super duper thick curly hair & have to perm it once every 3 mnts just to manage! I usually wear weaves & tight buns with loads of gel just to style my hair & make it look pretty.. But with this lotion, I just wash my hair apply a little throughout my hair & scalp, braid it up over night & wall-laa! When I take the braids down my hair stays soft & nap free all day!! No heavy or stiff feeling! & I can finally wear my natural hair beautiful & curly without all those harsh chemicals. It's great for those with dry thick damaged hair. No cons but it could smell a little better
I'm totally in love of this product! My hair was so damaged for a long time because of the bleach and dyes. I went from red hair to blond and then red again to finally end dying it black because of the texture... anyways, this product let my hair so bright, strong and with a healthy look again I will definitely repurchase this product
I change my hair color constantly.It is thick,course and dry. I have tried everything and nothing has worked as well as this stuff! I tried it as a travel size at walmart.I prefer to use it on my dry hair as a hairdressing and when I wake up the next morning, I don't look like a troll doll,yay!
My hair is extremely damaged from hair bleaching and cheap hair dyes. My hair was so dry to the point where I couldn't even brush through it anymore. I am so happy I found this. I like to use this right after I shower when my hair is damp and work a nickel size amount through my hair shoulder length down. It is not heavy on my ends and does not leave it feeling stiff, but soft. It also makes it look very hydrated and shiny. The smell is not unpleasant, but it is strong. You can also use this as a deep conditioning treatment, but do not use too much, ESPECIALLY on your roots or your hair will feel extremely weighed down. I am of polynesian/Asian background with thin, wavy hair and this product works wonders for the ends of my hair. A little goes a long way, so at $5/bottle, I think this was extremely worth it.
I used it with EVOO mixed in and let it sit for a couple hours or over night, and my course dry curls are amazingly hydrated. I could rave about this product for pages, it is a must have for me because its one of the few things that can tame my hair!
I have long bleached hair and I find some of the best hair conditioners in the 'ethnic' hair care section.
This lotion is AWESOME ! it smells light and does not go on too thick. I use a small amount on my hair as a leave in conditioner. But I also found It works great as a hand lotion, cuticle moisturizer, and light face cream to use at night.
And the price is great ...like 3.00 at Walmart. For 3 products in one, that's pretty cheap.
this is one of my all time favorite hair products! I am on my like 5th bottle :) I am white, with fine, damaged hair. I use a lot as a deep conditioner then wash out, or I use a little scrunched in my hair to make soft waves, or I use it on wet hair before I blowdry.. be careful, because if you use too much your hair can look greasy. I love how coconut oil is the #2 ingredient in here, along with all the other great ingredients! you can also use this on your face or hands :) I never break out and my skin and hair eats up oil like a sponge :) it lasts a long time and I will use this forever! I feel like it makes my hair super healthy and grow fast!
I love it but it smells sickly. I used this on natural hair and put my air up in a bun, I love how neat and 'slicked back' it makes my bun look, not the frizzy, dry hot mess it usually does... but I hate the smell, its really stong and sickly IMHO, like cheap perfume .. and the smell lasts quite a while unfortunately . Kinda makes me feel self concious when getting close to people and makes me feel a bit nauseous.. I can't wait for my wash day.. i'll have to hunt for something that does the same thing but has a better scent.. what a shame .
Update.. so I figured out I was using way too much than it was designed for :) , thats why it smelled so strong. Guess I could get the more moisturing version next time.
Tames afro hair
doesn't smell bad after a while ( like EVOO)
makes detangling easier
hair does appear a little straighter
strong smell, so you need to use a little
I won't give this a bad review because it's not fab for me but, my Mom began using this and it's made a huge difference in the condition of her hair (relaxed 4aish). However for my hair (natural thick 3b/c) it "meh". My hair doesn't really like oils. My hair doesn't absorb them and they sit on top of my hair. I could see using like half a pea of this in my hair while it curly but, for straight styles no way and I'm pretty sure this caused breakouts along my hairline. My hair isnt really dry and my scalp is kind of oily like 2-3 days after i wash it. It does smell good and I'll most likely keep this around and go back to it occasionally. If my ends feel dry I prefer something less greasy like Herbal Essence's long term relationship leave in.

Brinkley Shows More Improvement As Regular Season ApproachesPosted by on August 26, 2012 – 10:56 am
We mentioned late last week that Vikings coaches were pleased with the progress starting middle LB Jasper Brinkley has made in training camp and the preseason. We may be talking more about that progress this week, as Vikings Head Coach Leslie Frazier once again praised Brinkley after Friday's exhibition game against the San Diego Chargers.
"Jasper seemed like he played a lot better," Frazier said. "He was more aggressive, he seemed like he was out there having fun, kind of letting go a little bit. His play was encouraging just watching from the sideline. He made a lot of plays tonight so that should help his confidence. It was inspiring to see him play as aggressive as he did."
Brinkley had 2.0 sacks and 3 QB hurries on the night, as he was a part of suffocating performance by the Vikings first-team defense. Granted, San Diego was missing several starters, but the Vikings defense did what they should've done given their matchup. The Chargers had just 80 net yards of offense and 5 first downs in the 1st half versus the Vikings starters, and the visitors were just 22% on 3rd downs and averaged only 2.5 yards per carry.
That's the kind of performance coaches and fans want to see from Brinkley. His injury history has been well-publicized, but after great improvement since training camp began in late July and a couple of encouraging preseason outings, it will be Brinkley's solid play that gets the publicity soon.

Rated 3.8 out of 5 by 248 reviewers.
Rated 2 out of 5 by Eliza7 4th floor smells like Las Vegas cassino. I was confused if you can or cannot smoke in the facility. The 4th floor, room, sheets, everything smells like smoke. Room is not exactly clean. Room service takes the trash out, change a few towels and barely makes the bed. The gym was greasy and dusty. No towels available. My sink was clogged, room #450. The shower water doesn't get hot - just a little worm and I felt cold. I was working, leaving early and arriving late and didn't want to pack and change rooms in the middle of the night - and I figurede new room iouldn't be very different. November 15, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by CN2014 Poor Staff Service-Very Disappointed. While the hotel condition is average, its staff fell way short of expectation. I was given a room that previously been flagged by maintenance as having lock issues. Twice I went back down to lobby and asked the staff member to double check the room number, the room…I found out about the lock issue because I flagged down the maintenance guy and was told of its condition. Btw, he provided the best customer service. No attempt by staff to rectify the issue when it was 11:30 at night. The next day, I again had the issue with the key card and had to go down to the lobby again. There were 3 staff members behind the counter, one was busy checking in one guest. They didn't bother to look up and attempted to assist me until after a good 5 minutes. Very disappointed. April 11, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by FrankB Upgrade battle I arrived around Thanksgiving 2012 and occupancy was extremely low that day. I asked if upgrade is available and was told that I can only be given an enhanced room as suites were sold out. in fact, I checked right before I arrived, the suites were available. The agent said they are all reserved. I contacted SPG and they confirmed that there are suites available and one of them should have been given to me. SPG person contacted front desk on my behalf. After their conversation, hotel person called my room to inform me that suite "suddenly" became available. And then, in fact, she is willing to put me up in presidential suite. Why would you lie outright that you are sold out if it is wide available? The suite was nice with a large but sadly shared balcony. May 13, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by leatha1960 Expensive, Pretty but SLOWW Food I would like to see this hotel improve the access to the coffee pot for mornings. Maybe add a wet bar, or at least something substantially close to the water needed for coffee and a little wider for acoutriments. August 3, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by Eagles2012 Hotel needs revitalization I have stayed at this hotel at least 5 times over the past 7 or 8 years. It will no longer be my primary choice when visiting Phoenix, for the following reasons: 1. Hotel is starting to look rundown. Exterior needs a paint job. The entire pool area should be completely renovated, with a heated swimming pool. Some rooms and hallways look worn. 2. The food is subpar. They used to have an excellent breakfast buffet. Now, it's just eggs, meat and potatoes. I had to ask for muffins or danishes. No fruit! 3. The food in the club lounge is subpar, especially for happy hour. I feel like they are just going cheap here. It is not making me feel special as an SPG member. Unless I see some upgrades in these areas, I will look elsewhere for my upcoming stays in Phoenix. March 19, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by ZooMan Accomodating Staff I stayed at your hotel November 10 - 14 ,2013. Tuesday (12th) I came down with the flu. Wednesday morning when I asked your manager for the nearest place for me to get some chicken noodle soup and otc flu medicine he called the chef only to find out the soup was on the menu for the next day but volunteered that he would send someone after these items and then sent them to my room. By Thursday morning I was better.That's taking care of your guests. Great job and thank you.If I make it back to Phoenix I would stay there again. December 12, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by Alicel1968 Standards Your standards should be higher than they are. Our first room was a disaster, first the tv channels did not all come in, the bedding was old and stained. The bed skirts were dirty and I don't recommend doing the greener choice because housekeeper will not make your beds or take out your trash. The second room the put us in was on the club level which we thought would be nicer, but no it wasn't. The bed skirts were dirty and there was a crack in the sink that looked ghetto. The evening hot snack were empty every time we went to it and the beverage selection was small. Last we were told the water slide opened up at 8:30am in the morning but when I took my grandson to it at 9:40am it was not open and I was told there was 1 person in charge of it and he wasn't at work yet. The only reason we booked this hotel was for the water slide to take our grand kids to. And the only thing great about the hotel was the shampoo, conditioner, soap and Starbucks coffee in the rooms. July 23, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by avisitorfromseattle Still nice, but club level not what it used to be I've been staying in this hotel once or twice a year for about 8 years. It's clean, comfortable, and convenient to where I need to be. They have a nice fitness center, which is great, because this isn't an area I feel comfortable running alone outside in. I've always stayed in the club level accomodations because, for an extra $20/day, they've always had a decent breakfast and afternoon appetizer service. The past two times I've visited- the club level has deteriorated to the point where it's not longer worth the extra $$ or hassle to badge onto the floor/into the club room. I usually am not a fan of restaurants in hotels, but the crescent has a better-than-ok restaurant and I have no problem grabbing a meal there. Room service was speedy and friendly on this visit. October 15, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by PhillyGuy Perfect for Business Traveler Hotel was convenient, easy to locate and overall stay was excellent August 4, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by lin66 WiFi wasn't free in room We were disappointed that there was a $10 per day charge for WiFi in the room, When we mentioned that when leaving, we were told we should have complained and they would have given it to us. Great? We were also disappointed with the pool facilities. No shade in the broiling Phoenix sun. We could have paid $50 for four hours in a cabana. July 17, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by VIM84 Missing Amenities This is a lovely hotel - modern, clean and comfortable. However, it is the first hotel I've stayed in that I can remember that did not have a mini frig or a microwave oven in the room. Not only was this inconvenient for me, but this hotel is used by large groups (volleyball and baseball tournament players) whose families bring water and snacks to feel hungry athletes. The lack of these amenities made this very problematic. June 28, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by muz07 not what i expected my family frequents sheraton hotels and have never had any problems until now. the staff upon check-in was not at all friendly or polite. my room had blood stains on the sheet and pillow case the room behind us kept making loud banging noises all morning starting at 5am at check-out the staff was again not so pleasant when i complained about our experience offered us complimentary lunch in the hotel restaurant but at that time we had already loaded the children in the car along with our luggage so we just left. January 23, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by JEN33333 Nice Hotel We had a plesant stay at the hotel. The only 2 issues I had was: 1. While showering I knocked over the complementry shampoo bottle (in which I never use) but under it was a dirt ring from the bottle that may have been there for gods knows how long. I found that to be disgusting. Other than that the room appeared clean. 2. Upon check out I went down to get a luggage cart . This was about 6am in the morning and I was told that all 3 had gone missing from the night before. They didnt know where to locate. March 20, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by Jerri Unsatisfactory Was very disappointed that our room was NOT what was reserved. Instead of the 2 doubles reserved, only one king bed was available. Reservation was made for family of 4/2 adults + 2 children. Only due to illness did my wife stay home with other son but the purpose of 2 beds was to be able to sleep comfortably; this could NOT be accomplished with son who was all over the bed. We expected better service from a hotel such as the Sheraton, which is why we were willing to pay higher price for room reservation. March 28, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by sailorstl Hotel is nice - wireless internet service undependable - outrageous cost for phone calls Outrageous $2.00 charge per call for a 1-800 phone call. There was supposedly a nondescript card that had that information on the desk in the room, but I did not see it. Very poor wireless internet service. It was down two of the four nights of my stay. A sign in the elevator indicated that the hotel coffee shop opened at 6:00 a.m. but when I went to get breakfast on my check-out day, the sign at the entrance to the restaurant said it didn't open until 6:30 a.m. – no breakfast for me that morning. November 8, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by zked This hotel needs upgrades The WIFI service was inconsistent in the meeting room (Crescent) area and continuously dropped - causing me to lose client information in mid transaction. The first staff person I asked about the issue said he "would take care of that" and I never saw him again. The remainder of the staff was extremely helpful and friendly. The hot water in the shower never became hot and the surface of the shower/tub is slippery to the point of danger. Those plastic/rubber sheets are in no way comfortable. November 15, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by BigAl45 Hotel is understaffed in summer Three things cause me to suspect that the Sheraton Crescent cuts way back on staff in summer when few visitors come to Phoenix: 1) Waterslide was only open intermittently; 2) I had to wait 5-10 minutes for someone to show up and serve me in the lounge at 5:00 p.m. 3) When I went to the little coffee/gift shop at 8:00 a.m., I had to wait for someone to come and open up. All staff were extremely friendly and helpful once on the scene, but it was a bit irritating to have to wait for service. August 16, 2012
Rated 2 out of 5 by Kitkat22 Staff amazing, facilities not so much If it wasn't for our fabulous experience with the front desck manager and the maid, the ratings would be siginficantly worse. Several plumbing issues in our room, including black smelly stuff coming from our sink. Pool was supposed to be heated and it wasn't. Had to ask for someone to come out and open the slide if wanted to use it. Club lounge was a joke (except for the guy who staffed it in the morning). Poor food selection. Frequently out of food. Fridge for drinks was broken. March 20, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by EventPlanner2014 This hotel has excellent services and amenities The quality of services and amenities at this hotel is always excellent. I have found the staff to be efficient and helpful. I would highly recommend. July 23, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Venusian2000 Great staff I stayed 3 nights and I want to mention about the staff member, Garrett, in the Indigo restaurant. After my first buffet breakfast, he remembered that I liked having hot tea, so the second morning, he saw me walking in, then brought various teabags, hot water in a cup, along with an extra pot of hot water, and honey. I didn't ask for those; they were right in front of me. He is an excellent server, who pays attention to details. I enjoyed my breakfast, and appreciated his service. October 14, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by alana4201 super helpful staff Great food and servers This is the most excellent place to stay in this area , very peaceful and relaxing Highly recommend it to everyone i know July 21, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by megmul comfort and quiet .We were celebrating our 25th anniversary and we were pleased with the room. It was clean and comfortable. There was only two small negatives and one was the toilet ran all the time so we had to make sure we kept the bathroom door shut. We paid extra to have the extra amenities that we didn't really use but did enjoy the cont breakfast and appetizers in the evening. We ate in the restaurant the first night, we felt rushed and it was not that great so we ate out after that. October 20, 2012
Rated 1 out of 5 by LostCustomer1 Donald R. Bast two night stay; left this morning at 8;30 for business mtg. and returned about 8:00 PM. Walked in my room and it had not been cleaned, not touched. Front desk acts like you must have left something on the door. At 8:30 at night they want to send housekeeping and act like everything is OK. Now I have worked all day and had dinner with a client and then want to hear we will send housecleaning. Won't stay here again! Food at best is OK, service at best OK. April 2, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by dallas7 holiday weekend We stayed for the 4th of july weekend for the whole purpose of the water slide which my son loves. It was not working the first 2 days we stayed there. We checked out a day early because it still wasn't fixed. The club room was great and so were the appetizers. July 7, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by NoNowaterslider Needs work - Water slide closes @6? Are you kidding me? The largest draw to this hotel is the waterslide, but it closes too early, and is not open all day, you must request a staff member to open it for you, and the wait can exceed 30 mins. The manager said the rules were flexible, but the remaining staff were not under the same understanding, therefore no waterslide after 6 pm. Sad. June 24, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by MadDawg Heat? When I arrived I was informed that I had been upgraded to a suite. I was impressed with the size of the suite, it was clean and appeared fine. It wasn't until I tried to turn the heat on in my room that I had a problem. It blew cold air all night. I called and reported it before leaving the next morning and also informed someone at the front desk my bedroom TV did not get good reception. The TV was fixed but I never did have heat in room #258. December 9, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by snoopsterj Small uncomfortable beds and pillows On the club level, there are no rooms that work for a family or more than 3 people, really. They have 2 small doubles, or one king. The beds are very uncomfortable and the sheets come up off the bed with the slighest movement. The pillows are just horrible. The room size is nice and spacious, so there is room for larger beds or a pull out sofa. The waterslde, pool, and hot tub were very nice. The breakfast was decent, but could've been better. July 23, 2012
Rated 3 out of 5 by Mekcio Bad toilet Appears that the hotel was recently remodeled. Room was very nicely done although details are not addressed. Watch for the lose toilet ,got feeling that I will fall any moment. Mentioned to the reception none was done that day. Next day we checked out and mentioned again hope they will fix this time. June 18, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Sally2 Perfect for families Love this hotel; have been twice in two months. It is a very nice hotel if you have children. The location is really close to Castles/Coasters, they have a water slide on site and the pool is really large. The staff are very helpful and friendly. They have tennis courts, racquetball, a fitness room, Starbucks, and nice shade trees. I was impressed with all you get for the price. It is not a fancy Sheraton but my family loves it! June 26, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Shopper Great value Great staff, very friendly and helpful. Rooms could use some updating, general mantaince ,more electrical outlets and better lighting. Had two meals in the Indigo pretty good. Our room faced the mountains that was great. Had drink at the bar great service. Pool area could stand some cleaning epically the seat cushions. Price was more great, my husband ask me twice was I sure of the price. But will stay there in October 2012 September 4, 2012

A Lake Charles man is charged with two counts of kidnapping this morning after allegedly holding his girlfriend's children hostage. Investigators say Kendal Runnels went to the house and began arguing with the girlfriend, who escaped and called police. They also say Runnels fired a handgun twice before holing himself up in the house. Officials say Runnels released the two children, aged 6 and 7, after a nearly three-and-a-half hour standoff. A few minutes later, he surrendered without incident.

Images: A quick spin through Nokia's free Ovi sat-nav
Summary: ZDNet UK checks out the features of the latest Ovi Maps, Nokia's turn-by-turn smartphone sat-nav application
3 of 5Image
The screenshot above shows a standard driving view in Ovi Maps.
Ovi Maps presents its information using vector-based graphics, which are far more lightweight than the bitmap-based graphics used by some competing products. This makes the maps quicker to load.
Ovi Maps also has dedicated functionality for pedestrians, allowing navigation through parks and pathways in over 100 cities.
Rival applications usually support only navigation along roads, as they are intended only for drivers.
Ovi Maps's vector-based graphics provide 3D images of 6,000 landmarks in over 200 cities.

Yes we use NOD32 both for Windows and OSX. Easier to use than ClamXAV. Added bonus in an LAN that you can monitor both Mac and Windows clients on the same console. We have found that NOD will find malware that Sophos has let slip through - but nothing is bullet proof!
Hacktivists hijack BNP Twitter account, crayon over leader Griffin's too

Quite agree with AC that the actual hack was amusing in a juvenile way (I was lucky enough to get a heads up early on) Whilst sexuality should not be used to denigrate, it is an amusing satirical concept to apply to those who express the greatest outrage about the range of differences in the human condition. Deflation through ridicule worked well (What goes around comes around). I wonder if the way back machine caught it all...

Pine trees' scent 'could prevent climate change really being a problem'
Re: Climate scientists
No they are real scientists and honest about their own failings...unlike the politicians
Re: The Earth is self healing
Re: It's the sun.
Collectively we have been changing the atmospheric balance since we started clearing the primordial forests at the end of the last ice age. And then for the last, say, 500 years burning lovely carbon rich fuels like they were going out of fashion (which they are). Yes nuclear might appear 'greener', then again - that's debatable once you add all the energy in the whole production and commissioning / de-commissioning chain (the calculations just too full of approximations to be reliable) and we know it is dirtier in a different way. It is because greens are concerned about people as much as the climate and fluffy animals that they say nuclear is not the answer. Do the math - enough sunlight falls the Earth each day for all our needs (actually if you covered the Arabian peninsular with PV panels you would get enough power for what our global power needs were in 1985 (that was the last time I did the calculation))...The problems are political - no state wants to share, and no start wants to be dependent.
So yes it's the Sun - that's where ultimate ALL energy sources originate (or in other stars). The challenge is harnessing it safely and cleanly - which excludes fission but not fusion! So until that happy day, lets just get on with renewables and try not to break the planet before we have learnt how it really works?
good news...maybe?
If this really will produce some global cooling then great. Maybe someone should tell the Canadians to stop ripping up so much of their arboreal forest to get at the tar sands beneath (gee thanks Uncle Sam) The question is to what extent this mechanism feeds back into the whole climate...and how much acreage of forest, at what density of planting is need to balance the warming effect per ton of CO2 released. Of course, never mind the fact that, presumably, as the aerosols seed more clouds, less sunlight falls on the trees, producing less aerosol...don't pin your hopes on this one...
Planning to rob a Windows ATM? Ditch the sledgehammer and bring a USB STICK
ATM = machine = breaks down
Changing the focus - how many people have had similar experience of the ATM actually robbing you? On hols last summer in UK used an external ATM from a publicly subsidised bank - only to have a receipt and no cash! Went in to complain - only to see bank employer had the back off it's twin and loading notes into the hopper. Told that I would have to complain to my own bank - who investigated and we're told that there was no error with the machine. £50 down.
The lesson - don't try to withdraw more than you are willing to lose!

Girls, beer and C++: How to choose the right Comp-Sci degree for you
Don't forget the HNC!
Too much academic baggage is disguised as the rigour of thinking! When I did my HNC aged 40 I was asked to write essays about the different types of programming languages - furnctional, OO etc. Why - 'for academic rigour' ! Did that teach me to be a better coder - my @rse! But hey, my English and Philosophy degree really helped (as did my A level Maths, Eng & Physics) Flow charts & pseudo code - piece of piss after attending philosophical logic seminars pissed &| stoned. And Eng Lit gave me creative bullshit skills (and wrist ache from writing everything long hand - this was the 80s - nary a PC in sight!)
Doing a 12 hour, one day a week, day release HNC whilst still working full time proved I could still learn, focus and could still work till the wee small hours! My C++ skills are crap - but I'm a sysadmin / network tech - not a coder! I know a little bit about lots - usually just enough just to keep things running.
You've got to learn the theory - so you understand the practice - how else can you diagnose a problem, say with a web site, if you don't know the OSI model? If we don't teach theory properly and then rigourously test its application we are training people to become rapidly obsolete. Maybe that's fine for our commercialised universities - but bad news for society and the student!
Crap computers in a crap box: Smart-meter blackouts risk to UK
Smart meters help balance the generation load
Smart meters would only help a dumb person think about how much leccy they use (as if the continual rise in bills wouldn't do that) I hate to admit it, but renewables can make the grid less reliable - because their output fluctautes randomly with the sun / wind / rain. For every 1 MW of electricity generated by renewables, they need 1 MW on standby - just in case. They need to balance constantly varying levels of supply AND demand - to know how much brown power to use (hydro like Dinorwic that comes online at a flick of a switch aside). Smart metering helps measure demand side. Now if we had massive amounts of renewables scattered across the whole country this might balance itself out - ie when cloudy in the south, windy in the West, raining in the North and tidal regular as clock work.
Any storm in a port
Re: Also, Ethernet sockets & USB ports...
LOVE IT You made me spray my monior with mashed banana!!! (well it is lunch time)
Reminds me of the so called computer grad who called me when they couldn't boot a laptop as they'd forced the power jack into the ethernet port
Go figure....
Psst, wanna block nuisance calls? BT'll do it... for a price
the simple solution
my simple solution: sorry if already discussed: unless you know the caller (needs caller display on the line & a handset with a display) just leave it to the answer phone. The diallers recognise it's an answerphone &just call off. TPS helps but doesn't stop the cheats working their way through the phone book or international calls. Our other trick: the BT phone book entry is in the wife's name - different my surname - so when they ask for Mr X I honestly say 'No one here with that name' That shuts them up!
The hoarder's dilemma, or 'Why can't I throw anything away?'
no trouble throwing out...
Vista in a Nutshell (actually it burnt well on the log burner - is that green?)
BT broadband packs up again - second big outage in a fortnight
Re: multiple lines down nationwide
So some PFY typo'd 1pm instead of 1am. Hence the 24hr clock!
Re: multiple lines down nationwide
Ditto for us. Just like to tell BT that Swansea ISN'T anywhare near London - but then if they couldn't check on google maps...
Sysadmins: Your best tale of woe wins a PRIZE
Have you paid the bill...?
My first, very humble job as a grunt working part time doing everything for a small charity. After a couple of weeks got a call from one office that the 'internet wasn't working'. Toddled over - checked the obvious - power on, network switch on, can I ping the router (cheapy BT thing), have any cables fallen out the back of your PC, can I ping something on the net...er, no...Looked at said cheapy ADSL plastic box - local LAN activity but no ADSL light. Ho -hum. Spend an hour getting the work experience girl to find the account details. Phone them up. "Yes sir, you've been disconnected as you haven't paid the bill..."
