Rated 5 out of 5 by DonD3 Times Square NYC The $160MM dollar renovation has paid off! The Sheraton NY Times Square was perfect for our family vacation to NYC. The room was very comfortable, the staff was friendly, and you can't beat the location. One of our favorite SPG properties in the city! September 17, 2014

Rated 3 out of 5 by Laurie25 Majoring in Mediocrity There was nothing terrible about our stay but lots of little annoyances that add up to wishing we had been somewhere else. Our king bed reservation turned into 2 doubles and the person who checked us in insisted they were 2 queens--which is why we took the room. She should have been better informed. She also knew nothing about the gold welcome amenity and had to ask someone else. Our room had a broken safe and we had to call for service on it twice which made us late for where we were going. I had lots of trouble with the computer in the lobby, and the set-up is such that everyone in that lobby can see what you're working on. That's flat out wrong. I even get the idea of creating more energy and connectedness in the lobby by putting the work stations there, but give people a little personal privacy when they're on the computer. And the elevators took too long. Too many people coming and going--like a factory. And finally, I can't believe they are still charging $10 a day for the fitness center. Come on people. If you have to charge, make this one of the gold amenities. I didn't need that free drink. I need a workout in the morning. I am a committed SPG member but I would only stay here with points, I would never pay to stay here. May 1, 2012

Rated 1 out of 5 by AHF12 terrible horrible experience from check in to check out January 21, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by travelgenius Less than normal experience I have stayed at this hotel many times. This time was sub-par...when I arrived, refused to honor confirmed requests and lifetime gold status, saying they only give late check-out, entrance to club lounge to platinum as hotel is under different management. I ended up paying additional for access to club floor (had booked thru trade-show and club rooms sold-out; had called hotel to see if would give access to club at least); they did give me a room on the club floor when I paid the $25 additional per night; room was absolutely terrible with a hospitality room across and awful furnitue set-up; I was moved to another normal room that was fine; breakfast in the club was a mess next morning; dishes and used materials piled all over; food was pretty much delpeted and not being replaced; very little staffing... The lounge that evening was good and breakfast next day had normal staffing that remembered me and service was up to expected. The day after I checked in, I went to the front desk and was given a late check-out for the next day as normal with no issue at all. Not sure what happened here, but the person I was traveling with was at the point of never coming back and we are longtime SPG members , have stayed here many, many times, and are both close to lifetime platinum.

Rated 4 out of 5 by jen1981 Would stay here again I attended a conference at the hotel and found it comfortable, clean and conveniently located. The conference facilities were adequate and, in the evenings, I found it easy to walk to Broadway or nearby shopping. I looked at similarly priced hotels and their quality was far below the Sheraton. I would stay here again. September 15, 2014

Rated 3 out of 5 by Cindy100 Frustrating account administration I had booked the room for 7 nights with complimentary guest room wifi included and confirmed by reception on check in but was told to accept the $14.95 a day wifi charge on logging in which I was told will be reversed. On checking out, the excess charge of $136 on my Visa card remained but I was handed the final bill and shown that it has not been charged. 2 days later, the charge on my card remained and I am leaving the country day in another day. It will be very difficult and expensive for me to follow up on this outstanding refund from Sydney. I am so unimpressed ! August 18, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by Hondo Adequate plus I appreciate the new look of the property but find the hotel to be increasingly corporate and impersonal. The lobby is always crowded, noisy and busy (I guess that's good if you're the operator) and finding a place to sit in the bar area is nearly impossible. Squeezing the Link into the same area has made it even more congested so I always have appreciated having access to the 44th floor concierge lounge. Unfortunately, the remodeling of that space has made it far less appealing. That lounge feels cramped and has extremely poor layout for access to food. The loss of the long and more gracious entry leaves a bottleneck at the front door and chaos with even modest crowds. Thomas and Muhammad are the bright spots with their remarkable memory for guests and outstanding customer service. The furniture, though, is awful, especially the two seater tables under which feet don't fit. The rooms are fine...though as a Platinum, I haven't had a suite upgrade in years. I appreciated the welcoming email from a manager, but she had me incorrectly identified as a Gold SPG, not Platinum. So, overall, the property is 'functional', but with the loss of the unique 44th check in option, the degradation of the concierge lounge and the lobby mess, I'm inclined to finally move to another property (likely still Starwood) for my next NYC visit.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Cricket3o3 This hotel met all my needs, A+ for cusotmer service! I was pleasantly surprised with this hotel. It was clean, updated, great work out area and most importantly the staff was excellent. Our cleaning lady Mrs. Enriqueta Newman was the epitome of GREAT customer service!! She assisted us while we were at the hotel and took care of our requests immediately. The room was clean, it was set up efficiently and the complimentry Starbucks coffee and Earl Grey tea was a PLUS! We liked the location near Radio City Music hall which is right around the corner and Times Square which is a few blocks down the street. Easy walk to subway/train/bus transportation and/or if you prefer a cab there were tons of them. The hotel lobby and bar were quite nice. Room service was quick, approximately 30 minutes to arrive (they met the time provided to us when we ordered) and the food was excellent; we arrived late and ordered a cheesburger, Reuben, salad and Calamari ...it arrived hot not cold!! In addition, I had an opportunity to meet the manager while checking out, she was informative, professional and happily took my commendation for the associate that checked us in. He was very informative and helpful with all of our questions. He informed us of all the hotels amenities as well as recommendations for site seeing. We loved our stay at this hotel and will most definitiely return and/or recommend it to my family or friends! Good job Sheraton staff! February 25, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by Lawrence46 Great location, poor service We visited NYC for a three day weekend before Christmas. The positives: the room was updated, clean and nice. Housekeeping service was prompt and courteous. The negatives (and what would keep me from staying here again): Check in was a disaster. We arrived at 3pm on a Friday and the line to check in snaked around the lobby with only 3-4 cashiers. We waited 20 minutes, and the line barely moved, so we decided to check our bags and come back later. We were charged $4.00 per bag to check our luggage. Reprehensible! When we returned to check in 2 hours later, we waited 40 minutes. At the same time, there was a private party waiting in a line to be let into the conference room and the line blocked the access to baggage check. There were 4 employees in the baggage check area at the time we retrieved our bags and not one offered to assist us with our bags to our room. Of course, a bell man was nowhere to be found. We had a similar experience at check out. We had a late flight, and I waited 25 minutes to check my bags and leave for the day. Upon returning, same thing. 20 minute wait to retrieve our bags, at $4.00 per bag. While I understand the hotel has a large amount of rooms, the welcome, check in and bag claim situation is unacceptable. More staff and better facilites to service guests could easily address an otherwise disappointing situation. December 26, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by Jill55 Poor check in experience I've never had such a poor check in experience. As a Platinum member I've had easy experiences getting checked in quickly and with a high level of service. When I arrived at the hotel on Saturday at 8pm, the lobby was filled with guests waiting to check in. There were no front desk agents at the SPG preferred check in desk for at least 5 minutes. There were only a few agents working the regular check in line. And the service was extremely slow. There weren't any managers walking around the lobby to apologize to the guests for the delay or offer them water while they wait. Nothing. People had to ask the managers walking around what is going on and if they could get more front desk agents to help. When we finally got to the counter we were told that our room wasn't ready. At 8pm this is not acceptable. The good part was that they offered us a complimentary dinner to compensate for the room not being ready. This was a great perk. I went back to check in after a good meal at the burger bar, but then found out I had not been upgraded to a bigger room (every other Starwood hotel has upgraded me because of my Platinum status). It was probably because the hotel was so packed, but I just didn't feel like a VIP at that point. The room itself was tiny, and the bathroom smelled like someone had just used it. The shower was dripping all night. I won't be coming here again. August 22, 2012
Rated 2 out of 5 by DocLove Only good if you are paying a cheap rate This is a value hotel in NYC for the Starwood brand so if you don't get a rate cheap rate you will be very disappointed most likely I've stayed here many times when I needed a cheap alternative and most other hotels were too pricey. The lobby is always packed and not always the best element hanging around there i.e. (been propositioned many times). The renovated rooms are ok the lobby is always packed with tours who get good group rates - a bit of a zoo. November 11, 2011
Rated 4 out of 5 by MOMAVisitor Decent hotel, good location, poorly managed We stayed one night. The hotel is in a great location, and the prices are decent. The buffet breakfast was good, too, albeit a but expensive; if you have the option, get the buffet included with your room. The room was small but adequate, nicely decorated, and the view was decent from the 24th floor. Poor bathroom lighting except in the shower itself. Now for the bad: The staff was completely overwhelmed on both days. Checking in tool almost 45 minutes, most of which was spent waiting in line. Checking out, we opted for the express check-out, then had to wait over 45 minutes for the garage to bring our car down. The parking rate is insane, and for the money I expected my car to be available much faster. The doors do a horrible job insulating sound; we were awoken every time anyone walked down the hall (at one point, it sounded like there was a party in the hall) or got ice. Granted, some of the noise may have been luck-of-the-draw, and we just were "lucky" enough to get a bad floor/room, but better doors would really help. Also, as an SPG member, I was disappointed by the fact that my membership wasn't recognized, nor did it get me any advantages. Not sure I see the point to all the SPG points I've accumulated, or the loyalty I've shown to the chain over the years. I'd still consider staying at the hotel again, but my expectations certainly won't be as high next time. March 4, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by lacey1 great hotel bust dont forget somethingo ug Went to this hotel with my daughter to see the sights of new York. Great location and enjoyed the stay. the only negative thing I can say is don't forget something at the hotel I realized once I got home I left my camera charger pulled into the outlet in my hotel room called to inform them of it. I had to call serveral times to find out if they found it. To this date I have not heard from the hotel I had to replace the charger which was 79 for the battery and then another 80 for the charger. Very expensive. It would have been cheaper to buy a new camera but it was my daughter's very disappointed in the customer service I receieved or lack there of. September 27, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by JohnJoe No SPG Recognition At This Hotel For my very first business trip to New York City, I I decided to choose this property based on my Platinum SPG status and the benefits that accompany that status. This was a big mistake. I received minimal to no recognition at this property, being told there were "no upgrades available". I decided to "test" this by later looking for a new booking (after I had checked in) and discovered there were numerous upgrade rooms available for the night I was staying. For my next business trip to New York City, I will definitely avoid this property. If you are a SPG member with Platinum status, don't expect to get any benefits from staying at this property. January 4, 2012
Rated 3 out of 5 by MoveOn1 Time Square First Time in New York so my expectations were big.... I was disappointed. Our room was nice you could clearly see it had been re-done with new carpet, furniture, drapes etc. but the surroundings were old, very small... and not worth the extremely high price we paid nearly 900.00 for 2/night stay. We also stood in line to check in/out for over 1 hour. People every where, crowded, no assistance obtaning cab out front which should be the norm in a place like this. I will never return to this Hotel.. I recommend looking around. The bed was beautiful but very very hard and uncomfortable..... I felt sick after paying my bill................. October 25, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by Eric10567 Could have been a 5-star stay... My wife and I checked in for a one night stay at about 9:15pm and were greeted by a very nice and friendly agent at the front desk. After she found out that the stay was for our anniversary, she offered us a free room upgrade and bottle of champagne, along with some chocolate covered strawberries (we were thrilled) and said that room service should have them up to our room before 10pm (and that if we weren't in the room they would just leave them there). When room service hadn't shown up by 9:45pm we decided to talk a walk to the park, with the hope that everything would be there when we got back. When we arrived back to the room at around 11pm there was nothing, so my wife called room service and they said they would be right up. After ½ hour we were tired (and tired of waiting since it really wasn't that important) so we called back and said not to bother and that we were going to bed (at which point we put out the do not disturb sign), which we thought had ended the matter. However, at 7:30am we were awoken by loud, rapid knocking at the door and someone announcing it that it was room service. We yelled back for him to go away but he persisted, so I opened that door and explained to him (he was professional and courteous, btw) that it would have been nice last night but hat we were leaving that morning and had no need for it now. He continued, stating that we should just take the champagne with us, which we finally agreed to do (he was also apologetic and said he would inform his manager about what had happened). Overall, the stay was great and the staff very friendly and professional, but we were left a little frustrated by everything that had occurred (and also a little annoyed that we were bothered again at 7:30am when there was a do not disturb sign on the door). It's a just shame that in trying to provide us a wonderful experience the hotel actually delivered the opposite (but at least we do now have a funny story to tell). September 22, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by astammy Good location and comfortable The only issue we had is that we gifted this room to our daughter and they would not give her the upgrade for the club breakfast!!! I think that is ridiculous considering we are platinum SPG members. How much is a 24 year old going to eat? We called twice and spoke with the manager and she was not accommodating at all. She actually told us we probably should just lie and say we were coming too--unbelievable! September 9, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by SuzyB Honeymoon luxury turned into disaster I booked the Sheraton hotel for a four night stay for our honeymoon from the 28th April to 2nd May. After a long flight from the UK we arrived to the hotel. Everything was perfect. We were checked into the hotel by a very friendly receptionist called Nicole who was very efficient. To our amazement she very kindly upgraded us to a superior room as we were on our honeymoon. She also told us that she would include complimentary breakfast for the whole stay which we were absolutely delighted with as with the expense of a wedding and a honeymoon to pay for we could not have afforded the $60 a day for breakfast for the two of us. Our room was great and cleaned every day. We went for breakfast every day and signed every day. On every receipt it stated complimentary and we double checked with staff. On check out our bill was delivered to our room and stated a $0 charge. So on our return to the UK two weeks later we received a credit card bill from the Sheraton hotel charged for breakfast. This was a huge shock as we had been informed this was complimentary. This is not a small amount of money and something that we would not have had if we believed it was then going to be charged anyway. We certainly would not have given the receptionist a large tip for being so kind, as we now feel that this has also been unfairly taken from us. We have contacted the hotel twice by e mail over the past two weeks and still had no response. And am hoping that someone will get back to me as this has not been a good start to our married life.

Rated 2 out of 5 by NiJaLa Meets expectations for location but... I travel with SPG-branded hotels in Asia for work relatively frequently. The hotel meets expectations with regards to location in manhattan. Unfortunately, noise pollution; failure to clearly disclose fees; and questionable service trade-offs puts a permanent blemish on the experience. We stayed in a corner room facing seventh avenue and could clearly hear not only the hallway but also conversation from the next room. Investment in sound dampening would have been much appreciated. If its raining - I am used to the hotel providing umbrellas. This hotel instead asked me to purchase one from a street vendor for $5. Regarding fees, we were given toothbrushes / toothpaste at check-in when we asked the front desk. No one mentioned that the hotel charged $4+ until they showed up as an obscure line item on the final bill. Finally, the hotel does not provide a complimentary baggage check service to guests who remain in the area after noon- checkout. Management refer people to a $3.75-a-bag vendor service in the same hotel. Why the Sheraton would choose to add fees for basic service items on a $300+ USD per night hotel room is not clear to me. I do think that had a brochure of fees been available at check-in, it would be easier to swallow. Unfortunately they do not. As such, I can only take the low-road and infer the hotel is trying to maximize profit instead of loyalty from its customers. As such, I can not recommend this hotel to other guests looking to stay in the times square area without the above warnings. December 25, 2012
Rated 1 out of 5 by Davidcc9 One of the worst hotel stays I have ever had From the very beginning it was a bad experience, the front desk staff, arrogant, poorly trained with comments from the Front Desk Supervisor stating "it doesn't matter whether you are gold or platinum there are no rooms (even though we were confirmed to have rooms and they were prepaid in the Club Level). The rooms on the executive level are basic, small and no frills. Although advertised to have water bottles, the entire 3 day stay no waters were to be seen. The rooms on the executive floors were small and certainly not worth the $500+ per day that they charge. The club lounge was always crowded, the hotel operator, concierge or guest services operator had long waits to answer and one would eventully hang up because of the long wait. No one ever apologized for anything that went wrong. By the way the pool and spa are in the Manhattan Hotel across the street, so if you work out in their fitness center (it was nice) you have to get dressed and go across the street if you want to swim or take in a sauna after your work out. went to look at it and it was dirty and old. It was like the staff was doing the guest a favor for staying there and no one ever said "How may I help you". This hotel does not deserve to be a member of the SPG family. As a frequent traveler and a soon to be Platinum member of SPG, the company should be embarrased to have this hotel as part of its offering of properties. The ENTIRE staff needs to be trained on customer service and hospitality services. This was 2 stays in one, first and last, at this hotel December 18, 2011
Rated 3 out of 5 by Jim7373 Average hotel for a high price Lines at check I were long and staff was slow to check people through. It took 2 hr to get my non working tv remote replaced The bathroom had mildew or mold on the shower tiles. And the bathroom fan had hanging dirt and mildew from it. Not the cleanest hotel I've stayed in. I would expect more for the money. However it was centrally located to most of the sites and the subway was Very accessible September 9, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Christina1977 Probems w/ Elevators Overall, I am very pleased with our stay at the Sheraton Time Square. The staff couldn't have been friendlier and I consistently felt like they went above and beyond to ensure all of our needs were met. Now, the experience that was NOT above and beyond was the use of the elevators. Since we were on the 39th floor, we had no choice but to use the elevators. Every morning, there was a 5-10 minute wait to get an elevator however, this is somewhat expected during such a busy season in a multi-floored hotel. However, on our last day, a group of us from the floor waited over 20 minutes for an elevator until we realized there had to be an issue. After waiting for someone from the hotel to meet us to explain how much longer we should anticipate waiting, we were told one of the elevators was down which was causing a back-up in the remaining elevators. Since we had already scheduled a tour for that morning, we had no choice but to walk down 39 floors to get to the lobby in order to make our tour and not lose out on the $200+ we spent to reserve our spots. This was ridiculous! Thank god we are young and health is on our side BUT....as guests, contingency plans should be in place should the use of an elevator be down. There were a lot of very upset people who were unable to walk down 39 floors and rather than adding fuel to the already brewing fire, we decided to take the only alternative available to us, the stairs. Like I mentioned previously, we had an otherwise fantastic experience but this incident will make me reluctant to stay at this hotel in the future. December 9, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by chrismc123 Great experience Great experience. Our room was upgraded by a lovely employee named Joy. We enjoyed our stay and would definitely go back and recommend this hotel to people staying in times square. September 16, 2014

The spiralling popularity of succulents in the interiors and fashion world seems in part down to their sculptural appeal and in part down to the fact that they are hard to kill even for the blackest of thumbs.
Nevertheless without finger pointing [you know who you are] I can attest to the fact that there are some 'charred thumbs' out there that can do a lot of damage to even the toughest of plants! For those hapless customers I was excited to discover a new trend for extremely lifelike faux succulents that will always look perfect and are risk free!
Online home decor brand Nordic House's faux flower collection includes large succulent rosettes that can feature as striking table decorations or still life displays around your home.
Berkshire based Beaux Faux gives new life to vintage books using them as planters for whimsical displays of artificial succulents. These would make such a beautiful gift!
And Etsy has a plethora of succulent designs from felt succulents by Ordinary Mommy and Miasole to artificial components to create your own elaborate and maintenance free displays.

I'll fix pics when I get home. Was trying image hosting to relieve Juliette. Didn't work.
Well, post came.
I finall have "all" the pieces for my 3D printer. I sourced a few of the major parts and ended up buying the rest from www.builda3dprinter.eu. And today that order came in. So, let me review.
Well, it finally came in, the Pixy CMUcam5.
I'm still working with it, but wanted to make a real quick note about a few things.
Well, I ran into my first real fail of cheap parts. Apparently the RAMPS 1.4 board I bought has two defective mosfets. I'd like to take the blame and say I blew them, but I was being insanely careful.
And after inspecting the mosfets I've found physical damage to them. Sigh.

MetroPCS Begins Selling First HSPA+ Phones

Updated: corrected reference to the L9 and Exhibit's LTE capabilities.
MetroPCS today announced that it has initiated sales of HSPA+ based smartphones in its retail stores. Earlier this week, MetroPCS began accepting unlocked HSPA+ phones in several markets, including Boston, Hartford, Las Vegas, and Dallas, and today announced that it is selling the LG L9 and Samsung Galaxy Exhibit as the first two HSPA+ phones. The company is working to switch its CDMA-based customers over to GSM-based devices, which run on T-Mobile's network rather that MetroPCS' as it integrates the two. MetroPCS will begin selling an HSPA+ and LTE version of the Samsung Galaxy S III on June 17. The company did not say when it expects to broaden the availability of these first HSPA+ phones and the BYOD service beyond the first few markets.

22 January 2013
Lifelong learning student Eileen Younghusband, 91, has been awarded a British Empire Medal for her services and commitment to lifelong learning.
Eileen has been a student at Cardiff Centre for Lifelong Learning for over 17 years studying Creative Writing and Spanish.
After completing a Diploma in Higher Education at the Centre, Eileen went on to study towards a degree with the Open University, which she gained at the age of 87.
After graduation, and with help from the Centre, Eileen published her first book Not an Ordinary Life, and she soon followed it up with her second work titled One Woman's War. She is now in the process of writing a third which will be called Men I have known.
Eileen said: "I am completely surprised. I'd never anticipated that at 91 I would even be considered for anything like this. Older people who are able to continue learning really extend their life I consider. It's no good just sitting back and doing nothing."
"I cannot speak too highly of the Cardiff Centre for Lifelong Learning. The encouragement and support which I have encountered throughout the Centre both from tutors and support staff has been magnificent. Furthermore, I have managed to meet and make friends with so many interesting people. Without doubt, my quality of life has been improved by taking part in Lifelong Learning programmes."
Among those that nominated her for the British Empire Medal is Dr David Wyatt. He said: "Anyone who has met Eileen knows that she is a very special person. Her sharp intellect, rapier wit, and well honed social skills remain undiminished by time. We all owe her a huge debt of gratitude for her contribution to Britain's war effort. Moreover, in later life, her studies have provided her with the skills bring that important story, of the unsung girls from the RAF's filter room, to the attention of the public. She has done this through her remarkable books, tireless presentations to schools and community groups and countless media appearances. Eileen is a remarkable communicator and inspiration, not just to adult learners, but to us all. It is a great privilege to have campaigned and worked with her over the last four years and to have played some small part in her receiving this award."
Eileen is just one of almost 4,000 students that study at the Centre each year. The Centre offers a range of courses at a variety of levels for the general public – and not just in the subject area of Creative Writing and Spanish. You do not need lots of qualifications to study at the Centre, just an interest in a subject and a willingness to explore it in the company of others. Find out more online at www.cardiff.ac.uk/learn.

PITTSBURGH A Texas metal recycler and an auto salvage company are suing the city of San Antonio, alleging that they are being held to a higher standard than their competitor.
Acme Recycling Inc., Texas Auto Salvage Inc. and owners Gary and Daniel Hack have accused San Antonio of selectively enforcing city codes and environmental laws.
Acme Recycling and Texas Auto claim that they have incurred substantial costs to obtain permits and operate while competitor San Antonio Auto & Truck Salvage Inc. and its owner, Daniel Ramirez, have not been required to obtain the same permits.
The lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court in Texas is asking the court to award it money for being singled out by the city as well as enforce laws that will stop San Antonio Auto & Truck from polluting by allegedly allowing auto fluids to leak onto the ground and operating without necessary permits
The city has not provided all requested records, including computer records, police reports, permits and certificates of occupancy, according to the lawsuit. One set of documents specifically being sought by the plaintiffs are police records related to Ramirez alleging that the Hacks tried to run him over with a vehicle.
The lawsuit indicates there is no love lost between the competitors. The Hacks accuse Ramirez of making false claims about alleged involvement in illegal activities to encourage an investigation of their business, and also accuse Ramirez of purchasing untitled vehicles.
The lawsuit was originally filed in a local court but has been transferred to federal court because the plaintiffs allege they are being denied equal protection under state and federal constitutions.
The city did not respond to a request for comment, but it has filed a response asking the court to throw out the suit, calling it frivolous, groundless and without merit. Ramirez could not be reached for comment.
All comments are subject to editorial review.

Here are some tips to get your child grocery shopping the right way.
Teach teens how to select produce, and encourage them to make good choices when browsing aisles.
Photo: istockphoto.com ,
It's a beautiful, terrifying day when your children start feeding themselves. Not the hold-his-own-utensil, pincher-grasp-her-own-banana feeding. That's unadulterated beauty. The terrifying part arrives when your kid is old enough to hop in the car, drive to the store and buy his or her own "food." Will a vegetable make its way into the cart? Will expiration dates be checked? Will Cool Ranch Doritos and Red Bull rule the day? Hard to say. All you can do is arm your young shopper with the knowledge to navigate a grocery store in a healthful, budget-conscious way. Registered dietitian Jill Castle is here to help. "Your main goal with teens is pushing them toward variety and helping them identify health-promoting foods," said Castle, co-author of "Fearless Feeding: How to Raise Healthy Eaters From High Chair to High School" (Jossey-Bass/Wiley, $16.95). In that spirit, she recommends imparting the following wisdom:
Eyeball ingredients
"I advise teens to look at the first three ingredients," Castle said. "You want to be able to identify what's in it, and you want to be able to pronounce it. If you look at a bag of Lay's potato chips, the ingredients are potatoes, salt, oil. If you pick up a bag of cheesy Doritos, you see a lot of chemicals you can't pronounce."
Pay attention to portion
Make sure your teen knows where to find the serving size on nutrition labels and point out that some items, particularly less healthy foods, are packaged to be wiped out in one sitting — but, nutritionally, shouldn't be.
"Show them, 'This is a normal portion,' and 'This 24-ounce soda is more than twice a single portion,' " she said.
Browse the aisles
"Shop the perimeter" is a grocery shopping mantra — logic being that produce, dairy and less processed, packaged choices dwell along the outer limits. Castle encourages teens to venture into the inner aisles in search of whole grains and nonperishables.
"Nuts and seeds and dried fruits, healthier oils, beans, whole grain pastas, brown rice — there are lots of good finds in the aisles," she said.
Pick produce wisely
"Look for fragrance, firmness and color" when choosing fruits and veggies, she said. And think twice before going the convenience route: Bagged lettuce, baby carrots and sliced apples are time savers, but they cost more and often are treated with chemicals or other preservatives. And educate your teen on produce shelf life.
"I tell them to always have onions, potatoes and celery on hand," she said. "They're the bases for soups and so many different meals, and they're not quick to perish."
Make dairy count
Point them to the milk, yogurt, butter and cheese and encourage them to get familiar with their calorie counts and fat content.
"I'm not always a fan of sugar-free or nonfat for teens, though," Castle said. "The key to feeding teens is giving them choices that are satisfying in terms of taste and hunger so they're not snacking constantly."

London underground
LONDON UNDERGROUND The London Underground was the first city underground in the world
LONDON UNDERGROUND There are more than 280 tube stations
LONDON UNDERGROUND The Underground has more than 280 stations and around 400 km (250 miles) of track, making it the longest metro system in the world by route length. It also has one of the highest number of stations. In 2007, more than one billion passenger journeys were recorded, making it the third busiest metro system in Europe after Paris and Moscow.
LONDON UNDERGROUND The London Underground's 11 lines are the Bakerloo line, Central line, Circle line, District line, Hammersmith& line, Jubilee line, Metropolitan line, Northern line, Piccadilly line, Victoria line and Waterloo & City line.
LONDON UNDERGROUND Harry Beck Born 4 June 1902 Died 18 September 1974 (aged 72) NationalityBritish OccupationDesigner Known forTube map The London Underground map has a classic 20th century design with a great history of its own. Although it was designed in the 1930s, the original is still used today with modifications. Harry Beck, the designer of the map in 1933, was only paid five guineas for the job.
LONDON UNDERGROUND Underground maps are outside Tube Stations
LONDON UNDERGROUND Someone has actually designed "The Way Out" tube map which is a pretty useful invention, since it shows where all the nearest exits are when you reach a station, allowing you to save valuable time.
LONDON UNDERGROUND The shortest escalator on the system has 50 steps. All the escalators do the equivalent of two round the world trips every weeks.
LONDON UNDERGROUND "Mind the gap between the platform and the train." You are reminded of this by an announcement in London's underground (call it tube, subway or metro if you like) each time the train comes to a halt at a station.

Bellevue was named number one in CNNMoney's list of the best places to live and launch a business in 2008. In 2010 the city was again ranked as the fourth best place to live in America. Bellevue also made sixth place on Estately's list ranking Washington's 20 biggest cities for family friendliness.
According to the school district's website, more than 80 languages are spoken in the Bellevue School District, with 30 percent of students speaking a first language other than English.
Bellevue's notable residents include co-founders of the rock band heart, Ann Wilson and Nancy Wilson, the president and CEO of Alaska Airlines, William S. Ayer, and Wikipedia co-founder Larry Sanger.
Redmond may host the Microsoft headquarters, but the company's CEO, Satya Nadella, his wife and three kids all call Bellevue home.
Bellevue has the third best schools of Washington's 20 biggest cities. Its schools received an average rating of 8.1 from Greatschools.org. Newsweek's 2013 ranking of U.S. public high schools places five of Bellevue's high schools in the top 1500 public high schools in the nation.
The head coach of the Seattle Sounders FC Sigi Schmid lives in Bellevue. He became the head coach in 2009. He has the most coaching wins in MLS history and was the recipient of the MLS Coach of the Year Award in 1999 and 2008.
Bellevue has its own Badminton club that has sent junior members to represent the U.S. in a number of tournaments. At the 2014 Junior Nationals Bellevue secured six medal finishes.
Bellevue has the most parks per capita of the 20 biggest cities in Washington. It is also home to the Bellevue Botanical gardens that encompasses 53-acres of gardens, and restored and natural wetlands.
Bellevue ranks eighth for shortest commute with an average commute of 21.8 minutes, just over three minutes shorter than Seattle's. This is a boon to its residents since the city's overall walk score is 38, according to WalkScore.com most errands require a car. However, downtown Bellevue has a significantly better score of 77.
Bellevue has the second lowest crime rate per capita of Washington's 20 biggest cities, behind Redmond. The crime that ranked highest per capita was arson, at 10th on the list, so keep a fire extinguisher handy.
Bellevue is the site of the popular annual BAM ARTSfair (originally Pacific Northwest Arts and Crafts Fair), held since 1947 at the end of July. The fair features over 300 local artists and admission is free. Bellevue also hosts the biennial Bellevue Sculpture Exhibition.

About Me
- About katherinejustine
- Biography
- 24 years old, dealing with congenital kyphoscoliosis after surgery of a fusion of T4-L1
- Location
- The Midwest
- Interests

- Occupation
- High school science teacher
- Scoliosis History
A few fields to allow you to share some of your scoliosis history if you want to.
- What type of spinal curvature?
- Kyphoscoliosis
- Diagnosis Details
- I have congenital scoliosis which was watched by my doctors through my adolescence. I have a butterfly vertebrae somewhere around T8 or T9 which causes me to have kyphoscoliosis. It's relitively mild and caused me no problems until 2008 when the neck aches began. Eventually I started having terrible back aches which, for a while were helped by the chiropractor but then even that didn't help. My lower back also began to have troubles, as the disc between my sacrum and L5 is very thin, and any quick bending would cause something to pull and I'd be in great pain. I learned how to bend with my knees quickly. In Dec of 2010 I had my regular check up with my orthopedics doctor and he told me that I would need surgery at some point. I could do it now or later, but that things would only get worse. My spinal cord was draping over the butterfly vertebrae and as my kyphosis worsened, it could also potentially damage my spinal cord.
- What curve pattern?
- Other kyphosis with scoliosis
- Curve Pattern Details
- The curve was mild but very acute and localized.
- Had surgery?
- Posterior surgery
- Surgery Details
- I was fused from T4-L1 with a partial resection of the butterfly vertebrae, correction of my kyphosis and a 90% decrease of my rib hump. My lower back also some how feels stronger and more supported now as well, even though no work was done there.
- Worn a brace?
- SpineCor
- Bracing Details
- I found a video about SpineCor. So, in March of 2011 I got one of their braces and it relieved all of my pain. For a while, at least. The brace would work, and then start causing pain until we re-configured the straps and then I'd be good again for a while. All in all, i did reduce the angles of my kyphosis and scoliosis and improved my posture a bit, but, the pain kept coming back. I discontinued the brace in Feb 2012. I realized that with congenital scoliosis, you can't hope for much correction by posture changes .
- Inquisitive bird, crooked tree. I'm 24 and was fused T4-L1 for congenital kyphoscoliosis. Recovery has it's ups and downs but is going well.

Justin Timberlake – TKO – MP3 Premiere
We're just under two weeks away from the release of The 20/20 Experience 2 of 2, but Justin Timberlake is feeding the buzz with the release of the latest single from the hotly-anticipated album.
"TKO" gets pretty literal with its boxing analogies, which I find kind of endearing. But with JT, you don't come for the literary sensibilities, you come for the hot track. And if you ask me (which no one really was, but hey), Timberlake has done it yet again. Listen to "TKO" below via YouTube:

Session: 2011/2012
Date: Wednesday, 04 November 2009
Mr Danny Kennedy (Chairperson) Mrs Naomi Long (Deputy Chairperson) Ms Martina Anderson Mr Tom Elliott Mr Barry McElduff Mr Stephen Moutray Mr George Robinson Mr Jim Shannon
Ms Patricia Carey ) Dr Gerry Mulligan ) OFMDFM Mr Michael Pollock )
We will now hear a briefing from departmental officials, Gerry Mulligan — who is here more often than most of us — Patricia Carey and Michael Pollock, on the amendments to the UK Child Poverty Bill and the legislative consent motion. Members have a copy of a letter from the First Minister and deputy First Minister, the legislative consent memorandum, the notice of amendments and the Department's response, on 16 September 2009, to issues raised by the Committee.
Good afternoon, you are very welcome. The evidence session will be recorded by Hansard. Perhaps you will make an opening statement and then leave yourselves available for questions.
I am happy to do that. Thank you for the invitation to further brief the Committee on progress with the UK Child Poverty Bill. You know Patricia and Michael, who are leading the Bill in the Department.
As you know, the First Minister and deputy First Minister wrote to the lead Minister for the Bill, Stephen Timms, on 9 October requesting amendments to the Bill; first, to place duty on OFMDFM to report annually to the Assembly, and, secondly, to extend the scope of the Bill to all Northern Ireland Departments. Minister Timms agreed, and those amendments were included in Government amendments going forward to the Westminster Committee's consideration of the Bill. The Committee Stage is now complete, and the Committee at Westminster has accepted the amendments, which will now be part of the draft Bill.
As well as providing this Committee with a copy of their letter to Minister Timms, our Ministers forwarded, on 23 October, a copy of the legislative consent motion and accompanying memorandum, which is scheduled to be the subject of an Assembly debate on Monday 16 November. Our Ministers would welcome the Committee's views on those and hope to secure the Committee's support for the motion on the day. We expect that the Report Stage at Westminster will be in early December and that the Bill will obtain Royal Assent in early January.
As the Committee will be aware, there is then a duty on our Ministers to bring forward a strategy to the Assembly and to consult with both this Committee and the child poverty commission that is to be established under the legislation. Some preliminary work has already begun in that regard, principally through the child poverty board, a group that meets in Whitehall and is chaired by the Department for Children, Schools and Families. I will be happy to return to this Committee at any stage to consult with it as the work progresses in due course.
Thank you very much. Apart from final stages, have the legislative stages at Westminster been completed?
Other than the final stages, the Committee has completed its consideration of the amendments.
Has your Department made its final comments in respect of that?
The Department has made its final comments in respect of the amendments.
Are you content with that?
We are content that the amendments went forward, as requested by the First Minister and deputy First Minister.
Do you mean that you are content that the amendments were incorporated?
The perspective of the Department is that it is content that the changes that it wanted are now included in the Bill. The Bill will now complete its passage through Westminster and receive Royal Assent. It will then come back to the Assembly for the consideration of any actions that arise from it.
That is right. When the Bill is enacted, the duty is in force, and the specific duty on our Ministers is to bring a strategy to the Assembly within a year of that date. In the course of that work, Ministers will consult the Committee and the new commission that will be set up.
In a previous response, the Committee thought that Part 1, clause 11, should refer to junior Ministers rather than the Secretary of State, as it is they who have the policy responsibility for children and young people's issues. How did that ultimately work out?
Again, we had detailed discussions with our legal advisers and the officials who were briefing Parliamentary Counsel in the Department for Work and Pensions. Given that the term "Department" refers to OFMDFM as a corporate body with Ministers at its head, they took the view that that would be a more appropriate designation, in that it would, by implication, place the duty on our Ministers as the heads of the corporate body that is the Department.
Were we to designate a specific Minister with a particular responsibility, that designation could change over time. In a sense, that would then alter the legislation.
It remains a departmental responsibility.
However, within that, the understanding is that that is where it will likely be referred to and dealt with.
That is correct.
Gerry, I think that that is a welcome development, given that the Committee argued for OFMDFM to report to the Assembly and thus extend the scope to other Departments. That was something that the Committee wanted.
At the moment, it may be difficult to envisage, but, in practice, how do you think that the child poverty commissioner, working independently, will liaise and engage with the two junior Ministers who have the specific responsibility in this field? What kind of relationship do you envisage them having? I know that the schedule to the Bill deals with the intent of the commission and what its role and remit will be. However, do you see that as being advantageous to assisting the strategy, putting it on the agenda, and keeping people focused on the issue?
Access to a commission that is made up of experts from different sectors — and we expect the commission to reflect academia, the voluntary and community sector, practitioners, and so on — provides government with a critical friend in whose interests it is to get things right. The anticipation is that there will be real value added in that process.
As you know, the legislation states that we must consult with the child poverty commission. That could be done through correspondence. However, I suspect that we would want to go beyond that and meet with the commissioners to get their views on our work as it develops. I anticipate that the commissioners would have a duty to see to what extent the strategies within the devolved administrations are consistent with policies elsewhere. For example, the commission could advise us if it felt that there were gaps. I cannot be confident about that.
Will the commission have a consultative role, or will it be able to make an input that could shape the strategy?
I anticipate receiving written reports on our draft strategy from the commission. Our Ministers must write to them, and they must have regard for their comments. Again, that is in the legislation.
Must they have due regard for what the commissioners say?
They must have due regard for the opinions of the commissioners. The legislation states that we will be able to nominate one person to the commission. That will guarantee that our interests are reflected.
Members have no further questions. Thank you for your presentation. I know that you are looking for the Committee's co-operation when the legislative consent motion is tabled on 16 November.
We will think about that and let you know. Thank you.

Russia Threatens Ukraine with 'Irreversible Consequences'
The Russian Foreign Ministry on Sunday warned Ukraine of "irreversible consequences" after a cross-border shelling, stoking concerns of a nuclear threat.
The ministry said it had officially protested the shelling, which killed one Russian man. It described the event as "an aggressive act by the Ukrainian side against sovereign Russian territory and the citizens of the Russian Federation," Reuters reported.
"This represents a qualitative escalation of the danger to our citizens, now even on our own territory," Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Grigory Karasin said in an interview with state television. "Of course this naturally cannot pass without a response."
This latest statement comes on the heels of Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov's comments last week, which seemed to constitute a possible nuclear warning to Kiev should it ever try to militarily retake Crimea, according to The Diplomat.
"If it comes to aggression against Russian territory, which Crimea and Sevastopol are parts of, I would not advise anyone to do this," Lavrov said during a press briefing. "We have the doctrine of national security, and it very clearly regulates the actions, which will be taken in this case."
The minister was responding to recent statements made by senior Ukrainian officials promising to retake Crimea. Russia's current military doctrine authorizes the use of nuclear force against a large-scale conventional attack by regional foes.
The doctrine, revised in 2010, states: "The Russian Federation reserves the right to utilize nuclear weapons ... in the event of aggression against the Russian Federation involving the use of conventional weapons when the very existence of the state is under threat."
The Diplomat noted that, at the press conference, Lavrov referred to this military doctrine and added that the Kremlin views Crimea as an important part of Russian territory.
Russian President Vladimir Putin lately has appeared to signal that Russia would dial back its military involvement in Ukraine's struggles with separatists, many of whom are assumed to be sponsored by Moscow. However, the Kremlin's recent rhetoric could indicate that the nuclear superpower is not done intervening with force in its former Soviet satellite state, months after it unilaterally annexed the Crimean Peninsula, according to Reuters.
Meanwhile, the Ukrainian government denied that its armed forces were behind the recent shelling, calling it "total nonsense" and potentially the work of separatists.

I recently got a superzoom compact camera (a Panasonic Lumix FZ28) for all-purpose, mostly casual photography. Since it's a compact with a fixed lens, it's not really possible to do conventional (e.g. prime focus) imaging with it. Additionally, like most compacts, it has a fairly small sensor, so getting it to work well in low-light conditions is a challenge (let's just say that I had to take a crash course in "Manual" mode, right from the start). Despite all this, it has worked surprisingly well for piggyback shots using my 100mm equatorially mounted refractor as a platform.
The large maximum zoom (18 x) helps a great deal. Many well-known deep-sky objects show significant detail at this magnification. Additionally, compared to many other superzoom compacts, the FZ-28 has a fairly wide aperture (f/4.4) at full zoom, which comes in very handy. Star clusters, in particular, turn out well: I routinely find 11th, and sometimes 12th, magnitude stars on medium-length exposures (around 15 seconds) at full zoom and low (100-200) ISO. This compares favorably with the view in the 100mm scope itself at low to medium power.
Here are some images that came out fairly well. In each case I cropped the most interesting portion a bit, shrank the image as a whole, and adjusted the brightness and contrast slightly.
This is the Orion Nebula at full zoom, using just the camera's own lens.
I know, this place has been almost dead for months. Unfortunately, life has intervened a lot lately -- however, I expect to be doing a lot more observing the next few months. In the meantime, I updated everything to the current version of the CMS I use. Yeah, I know -- the theme is an ugly default theme. I'm working on it.
I've added a few new features to the site.
Distant Worlds Star Mapper: There are several new enhancements. Major ones include:
a: Chart settings
Expected tonight: a lunar eclipse. Actually seen: your basic, unlovely nebular occultation, at least from my back yard. In fact, for much of the night it wasn't obvious that anything unusual was going on, except through the occasional break in the clouds. Fortunately, one member of my local astro club, Brian Kimball, did get a nice picture through some light clouds.
(h/t Bad Astronomer)
17th to 3rd magnitude in less than 24 hours!
I've made a few more changes to the Distant Worlds Star Mapper. The big ones are:
I've updated the software behind the site overnight. One big change: you don't need to register to post or view comments. However, every comment field has a captcha (one of those distorted-text-in-an-image thingies) as an anti-spam defense.
Oh yeah, I know -- the current theme could use some work. The old one I had isn't compatible with the site update. I'll probably have a somewhat nicer-looking version up in the next week or so.
I've got some pesky spammers here, doing the old "stick a bunch of spam in older posts" stunt, and since it's been pretty quiet the last couple of months, I've turned off commenting for the near future. It'll probably come back after a general site upgrade in the next few weeks...
I have updated the HYG Database. It now includes the complete Hipparcos catalog (the old version had only stars to magnitude +9.0), and it includes velocity information where it's available.
More details are on the main HYG Database page linked above.
April in the northern hemisphere means galaxies -- lots of 'em. But what do you do if you live in the city, can't get to a dark-sky site easily, and it's close to full moon?
How about a few stars, for a change? Recently, I took a look at several bright double stars, for a change of pace from my usual choices of planets and deep-sky objects. More details below.
