Steamboat offers participants a super dream vacation grand prize for eight people with their Ridiculously Deep Sweepstakes.
Steamboat offers participants a super dream vacation grand prize for eight people with their Ridiculously Deep Sweepstakes.
Steamboat Springs may be best known for its gladed skiing and copious champagne powder. But a closer look around Colorado's Yampa Valley provides a glimpse of the true West.
Beaver Creek, Monarch and Steamboat are the next Colorado ski resorts to open this week offering skiers some of the best opening day conditions in recent years.
It's unlikely that a trapper ever spent a night in a place like Trapper's Cabin, the posh log retreat at Beaver Creek where you can mix champagne powder and caviar dreams.
Steamboat's cowboy image remains a reality in this Western town, but it's the snow, not the Stetsons, that will keep you coming back.
Steamboat remains in the elite ranks of North American resorts despite a cash-strapped ownership that hasn't spent much in recent years. Why? Good bones: 2,939 acres, 20 lifts and a saucy 3,668-foot vertical drop.
Steamboat's Industry Innovative Program Available From Any City Served By United Airlines In The US & Canada Into The Yampa Valley Regional Airport.
Silver Star Mountain Resort has given the 'green light' to the much-anticipated Silver Woods expansion.
Colorado skiers and riders celebrate with up to 28 inches of Champagne Powder to ring in the New Year.

One hairstyle that never goes out of vogue is the Bun – it is classic and timeless. This hairstyle is truly versatile as you can personalize it depending on the occasion and your attire.
From flirty to funky, chic to romantic, casual to the prom – buns can be styled any way. Moreover, not only does a bun hairstyle ooze oodles of feminine grace and charm but one can also glam it up in various ways.
Bun hairstyles look great on long hair. Here's a look at some lovely bun hairstyles for long hair:
1. Top Knot Bun:
For that comfortable yet elegant and fashionable look, the top knot bun is the perfect choice.
It can be created quite effortlessly and complements casual wear as well as looks classy and chic when worn with a cocktail dress or a pretty gown. This simple high-bun style can even be your savior on a bad hair day and would suit any type of hair texture.
Moreover, it can be transformed into a prom look by adding beautiful hair accessories as Stacey Dash has styled her sleek top knot here:
Check out this video for a super easy to do top knot tutorial:
2. Side Bun:
Playful and cool yet stylish, the side bun (loose, messy or voluminous) is increasingly becoming popular over the traditional stiff updo hairstyle. For a night out, evening party or any special occasion, you can try this fun bun hairstyle. It does not really require any professional skills to achieve this hairstyle.
In this look, the hair has to be given a side part and a part of the forehead remains covered with hair as we see the pretty Selena Gomez with her messy side bun here:
For a voluminous side bun, natural flowers may be added to perk up the look as Peaches Geldof has done here:
Here's an easy video tutorial on how to create a side bun:
3. Messy Bun:
Another great hairstyle for long hair is the messy bun which is a variation of the top knot bun, only more casual and fun as unlike it; here the bun is not that high up on the head.
This style looks carefree and flirtatious yet gorgeous; and the key is to pull out some strands from the bun and the nape of your neck to get that face-framing look.
A messy bun with forehead fringe is a nice way to get that haphazard look which this style is all about.
Check out this easy messy bun tutorial:
4. Braided Bun:
Women of all ages (with long and thicker hair) can try the braided bun for that neat yet elegant and gorgeous updo that will grab attention.
This hairstyle is perfect for prom as well as weddings.
There are many varieties of the braided bun hairstyle so which one you like would best be discussed with your hair stylist. This is definitely a popular Indian hairstyle for long hair amongst the brides to be!
Check out this simple braided bun tutorial:
5. Headband bun:
A perfect bun hairstyle for the holidays, this accessorized hairstyle looks chic and beautiful and ultra glam if a jeweled headband is used!

In a bit of a work slump right now? Welcome to #PlayTime, Grazia Daily's new music feature bringing you a different hot track every day of the week. From just-dropped music premieres to cool covers and throwback classics, its the new soundtrack to your afternoon.
The soundtrack to our Monday? The Voice contestant Sophie May Williams covering Lorde's 'Royals'. The 17-year-old might have been knocked out of the competition on Saturday night, but we're still head-over-heels for her jazz-infused performance.
The former member of Team Will.i.am became known for her vintage style, retro song choices and gritty vocals during this year's season of the show, hitting the stage to perform classics including 'Moon River' and 'Time After Time'. She decided to give Lorde's Grammy-winning hit a jazz makeover for the semis, turning it into the kind of downtempo number that wouldn't have been out of place in a 1920s speakeasy.
We're also totally crushing on Sophie's wardrobe of kimonos, shift dresses and head scarves right now. She hit the stage at the weekend dripping with diamonds in a floor length gown, bejewelled headpiece and sparkling necklace.
She might have been knocked out by teammate Jermaine Jackman, but it seems Sophie had a great time while on the show.
'I AM STILL ON SUCH A MASSIVE HIGH FROM LAST NIGHT! I had the best time and I'm so grateful to everyone!' she tweeted on Saturday. 'So much love for my coach @iamwill gonna miss @BBCTheVoiceUK but I'm more determined than ever now.'
Her version of Lorde is available to download via iTunes and is currently heading up the charts at Number 55.

text: Louie Gohmert Mocks 'Bold' Deportation of 38 Illegals Amid Border Crisis Print article Send a Tip by Kristin Tate 17 Jul 2014 post a comment HOUSTON, Texas--The mainstream media was abuzz after 38 illegal immigrants--of the tens of thousands who have flooded the border in recent months--were deported to their home countries in Central America. In a tongue-in-cheek comment, Texas Congressman Louie Gohmert, who remains dismayed with the Obama Administration's handing of the border crisis, called the small deportation load "bold." Gohmert told Breitbart Texas, "USCIS reports that this administration has legalized over 550,000 illegal immigrants with President Obama's pronouncement of his new Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals which did not pass through Congress but was only passed through the President's lips. The New York Times and other sources have reported that just in recent months there have been about 300,000 new illegal entries into the U.S." He sarcastically continued, "So, it is a bold move for this administration to now reduce an illegal immigrants chances of staying in the U.S. from 100% to 99.9955%." It is easy to imagine that the minuscule deportation was an attempt to send a message to Central America: if you come to the U.S. illegally, you won't be allowed to stay. But such messaging efforts show little signs of being effective, given that the majority of those who illegally cross the border will get some form of amnesty. Republicans further argue that the administration's entire process for dealing with illegal immigrants encourages more to make the dangerous trek north. Instead of being turned away at the border, migrants are instead taken to a federal housing facility where they enjoy a myriad of taxpayer subsidized benefits including housing, food, education, vocational training, recreation, and even legal counsel. Subsequent to a relatively short stay in federal custody, most of migrants are released onto U.S. soil. They promise to appear at an immigration court hearing at a later date, but as many as 95 percent never show up. They ultimately end up getting lost in the woodwork or forgotten about by U.S. officials. Senator Ted Cruz previously told Breitbart Texas that the "humanitarian crisis" is a "direct consequence" of the Obama Administration's actions and rhetoric."It is a direct consequence of the presidents illegal actions," Cruz said. "The [Central American] parents think, 'If I send my child [to the U.S.], my child will have amnesty.' That's what the president of the U.S. has said. It is the exact opposite of a humane approach to immigration or to securing our borders." Follow Kristin on Twitter @KristinBTate.

Review this movie
Nov 23, 2014Captain Phillips es una película con un excelente sonido, además de las grandes actuaciones que contiene y su buena dirección hacen que el film sea una buena película.
Nov 22, 2014Captain Phillips is an intense film based on a true story. I understand the best picture nomination for this one. Tom Hanks is back on his game with one of his best roles in recent memory. He was perfect for his role and its hard not to be emotional with him in the end.
Nov 10, 2014Captain Phillips is brilliantly acted and incredibly tense. It features one of Tom Hanks' finest performances and Paul Greengrass at his best behind the camera.
Oct 5, 2014Stupid made up movie that has no basis in fact. The real Capt Philips was an **** and it was his fault the ship was boarded by pirates in the first place.
Sep 20, 2014Based on the true story from 2009 of a cargo ship captain being hijacked by pirates off the coast of Somalia, Captain Phillips is film full of suspense. Tom Hanks plays Captain Phillips as he prepares the best a person can prepare for the inevitability of pirates attempting to take his ship ransom.
Quickly the movie sets the foundation for Captain Phillips background, a captain who is doing a dangerous job, despite his wife's wishes, because there would be a line of men willing. Simultaneously the foundation is set for the pirates, boat loads of Somali men volunteering to hijack a ship, because this is a somber reality of life with no true alternative for livelihood. The crew, Navy, and audience wait as Richard Phillips is put in the perilous position of negotiator and hostage. The pirates are never as brutal as they have to be and the American crew members are never as heroic as they need to be.
Hanks does a more than adequate job as a sympathizer to the pirates, trying to get everyone out of the situation intact and alive. This selfless and heroic character is probably not accurate to the real Captain Phillips persona, but necessary as a counter view to the pirates' story. I found myself identifying with the pirates, hoping they would have some sense, despite knowing the end to the story. This is thanks in part to the main Somali pirate, Muse, played by Barkhad Abdi. I am thankful he has received as many accolades as he has, though not a trained actor, he turns out a multi-layered character under tragic circumstances.
This movie easily could have been a one-sided telling of the brutalities of the pirates, instead you get a multidimensional story that is more about the current effects of globalization than the thrilling encounter.
More reviews of recent releases can be found at our website.… Expand
Sep 2, 2014Entertaining and well-directed on the water, I was haunted by Barkhad Abdi's debut but left a little lukewarm from Tom Hanks. There's a reason he wasn't nominated by Oscar, and I agree with it.
Aug 16, 2014I've got nothing on this film. Beautiful acting and wonderful orchestration. It really has you on the edge of your seat! It gives you a good perspective on why piracy exists.
It's not what I usually put on, but I'm so grateful that I got to see this wonderful and breathtaking performance of Tom Hanks.
Aug 14, 2014I know there's hundreds of movies with potential but this is one of my favorites. Captain Phillips is thrilling, emotionally resonant and intense even if you see from a computer monitor. This movie should get an award because for me, it's one of the best movies I ever seen!
Aug 1, 2014This is a moderately dramatic movie that's largely harmed by the fact that, because it follows a real life event that was in the news for several days, you know the ending well in advance. The last third of the movie drags out a bit when the conclusion of everything becomes obvious (or you remember it from the news), and then you're waiting around for something to happen almost as much as everyone else is. Still, I liked a lot of the acting and the script, so it comes out average.… Expand
Jul 20, 2014Outstanding acting! This movie is just must watch for everyone! Based on a true story, it delivers so much pain and pressure that it was hard to believe that this was just a movie! 10/10 For this masterpiece!
Jun 26, 2014Well then, this is another movie I was late with, similar to 12 Years a Slave. I rated 12 Years a Slave a 10 out of 10, and I was more than happy that I finally got to see that masterpiece. Was my opinion with Captain Phillips (CP) the same? No, but it was close. CP is based on a true story in which a cargo ship is captured by 4 pirates. These pirates aren't charming or likable ones like in Pirates of the Caribbean. This whole story happened about 5 years ago, too. These pirates are insanely cruel and they are also wonderfully acted by these brand new actors. Speaking of acting, everyone does an amazing job, and so does Tom Hanks as Captain Phillips himself. The movie is intense and it keeps you on the edge of your seat. If you think that the scene when the pirates board the ship is intense, you're in for a ride later on. Telling you that my favorite scene came from only a few sentences of dialogue should let you know that the writing and actual dialogue is beyond great, and it is. However, there are some scenes that if taken out, there would be no difference. Overall, it is beautifully shot. I say "overall" because later on when the setting's time changes to night the lighting just doesn't satisfy. Other movies can be wonderfully shot at night, but CP just didn't do this. CP is like a truly masterful painting. However, in that painting, it's like the artist accidentally just some spots of differently colored paint on it, yet everything else was perfect. That's how I found CP to be in my opinion.… Expand
Jun 21, 2014Captain Phillips is one of the best movies of 2013, it's Hanks' best movie since The Terminal. Hanks has had a great year with Saving Mr.Banks and Captain Phillips, Greengrass once again gives us an amazing movie, it's so entertaining and exciting. First time actor Barkhad Abdi puts on a great villainous performance as the the Somali Pirate
Jun 17, 2014Prior to watching this: No comment here.
Review: Generally good story and acting all around. Unfortunately, the last act was rather long. Although I think it was trying to be true to the timing of the actual event, I think this part let the film down by losing its momentum.
Jun 16, 2014I have but one word to comment on Tom Hanks' performance: Outstanding. Remark on Paul Greengrass' direction ? He deserves to win the Oscar Award for Best Director. They together brought a tense, thrilling story centering on a man's struggle with ruthless Somalian pirates to guarantee the sake of his crew as a captain's duty while at the same time saving his own life. A must-see blockbuster that makes you unable to keep your eyes off the screen… Expand
Jun 7, 2014Great movie! Captain Phillips kept my interest the whole time.This is a must see movie.It feels short even though it`s not, cause you just lose a track of time trying to see what happens next.
Jun 3, 2014This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Not for nothing are Americans accused of being "isolationists", men and women who willfully choose to live out of context with a world they deem insignificant and beside the point. Even in this post-9/11 era, stubbornly, Americans still believe they can live in a bubble, despite the pop heard around the world. Captain Phillips, however, serves as a sort of reorientation to the lessons we learned, albeit briefly, and then forgot, in regard to our blow-by-blow synchronous apposition with other nations as always having been a persistent reality, independent of public cognizance or lack thereof. Days after Islamic fundamentalists irrevocably transformed the Manhattan landscape, we asked ourselves aloud, "Why do they hate us?" The short answer: colonialism. And our collective forgetting. A film such as The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou makes no apologies, or even, mention, about our bloody past. In the 2003 Wes Anderson film, the pirates who attack the Belafonte are Filipino, marauders with a century-old grievance, but because the narrative is ideologically naive, the specificity of their ethnicity is treated as a post-colonial joke. The fact that the American occupation set the Philippine Islands on a path towards catastrophic poverty, in which over 200,000 natives died(mostly from cholera) is not important. Nobody mourns the murdered southeastern pirate that Zissou guns down. The captain's revenge against the jaguar shark takes precedence over the more justifiable revenge. Interestingly enough, genre differences aside, the Danish import, A Hijacking, like the Anderson film, also sees the pirates purely as villains. We either laugh at them, or hate them, but we never understand these Third World ruffians.That's not fair. That's not telling the whole story. Captain Phillips, on the other hand, to its credit, shows both sides. At the outset, the filmmaker juxtaposes Muse's struggle for survival in arid Somalia with the captain's whiny middle-class Boston angst. The pirates, for some, become less villains than anti-heroes. According to Muse, the hijacking is just business, differentiating his organization's agenda from Al-Qaeda, when he first threatens Phillips at gunpoint. Muslim or no Muslim, it makes no difference. He doesn't understand that many Americans, even a decent man such as Richard Phillips, see dark-skinned foreigners as one monolithic race, especially to the navy that kills them all. Muse is simply the "other", not Somalian. Because thirteen years after the World Trade Center came crumbling down, reduced to rubble by Taliban anti-pilots, many people still live in a vacuum, still possess a blind faith towards our government, who propagandizes the very nature of its tyrannical foreign policy with doublespeak sugarcoating, using catchwords such as "liberation" and "freedom". Very subtly, the filmmaker evokes the history of Africa's colonization, in which Captain Phillips, presides over a map of the "dark continent"; his hands draped over the shipping route, connoting a sense of entitlement, as the co-captain plots their course from Salalah to the Somali Basin. Unilateral to the main narrative, through its subtext, the film concedes that Muse's people, as well as the whole world, have a case to express their anger with militant force against the United States. Ironically, like the Filipino restaurant workers gathered around the kitchen television, learning about the international currency that Zissou stores away on-board his ship, the Somalian pirates too are only thinking about the money, not the historical circumstances that landed them in the third world ghetto. But in the lifeboat, Muse's cohort, Bilal, despite his limited grasp of the English language, senses the captain's arrogance, as America's colonial past rolls off Phillips' tongue, when he tells Muse how Somalian waters are "international waters", which is analogous to saying that Liberia, albeit populated with Liberians, once belonged to the United States, who colonized the West African country in the 19th century. Phillips is silent, indifferent to the pirate's remonstrative explanation that "the big ships" leave nothing left for them to fish. Whereas the filmmaker understands that the pirate attack on a cargo vessel like the Maersk serves as a last resort to stave off poverty, the captain, as well as the audience, disregards the underlying causes of the conflict at hand."You're not a fisherman," hisses Phillips, when Muse points a gun at his temple. He, alas, forgets that his country plays a hand in hurting the local economy. Once again, the U.S. plays the innocent victim. As if 9/11 never happened, the captain, with appalling ignorance, ask Muse, "There's got to be something other than being a fisherman and kidnapping people?" Maybe, in the final scene, the captain recognizes that the collateral blood on him isn't merely literal. After all, there are no heroes in Captain Phillips.… Expand
May 25, 2014Alright here is another film i have owned for awhile but just now getting around to watching it. I heard a lot of good things about this film seeing that it is a Tom Hanks film you know its going to be enjoyable although i have really never been a fan of Paul Greengrass's bigger movies like The Bourne Trilogy. From what i was hearing from people is that Tom Hanks did an amazing performance in it. I just didn't see that and was a bit disappointed by it if anything i was more impressed by Barkhad Abdi the leader of the pirates ill be keeping an eye on him. The first half of the film was really good the tension they build towards with the Somalion pirates hijacking the ship was great. Sadly though the film takes a dive in the second half when the military gets involved once that happen my rating for the filmed dropped also this is were i thought Tom Hanks performance lacks while Barkhad Abdi rises.
Overall I give it a 7.5… Expand
May 22, 2014I always wondered how they wound up in the lifeboat... I'm glad they focused on the details of how the whole thing went down... especially the actual rescue... learned something and enjoyed the well directed well acted film... tom hanks did go a little over the top at the end...
May 20, 2014Captain Phillips is brilliantly acted and incredibly tense. It features one of Tom Hanks' finest performances and Paul Greengrass at his best behind the camera.
May 2, 2014A film full os suspense that will make your heart beat as fast as the sharp, intelligent movie goes on. A great performance by Tom Hanks and Barkhad Abdi, but there's still some slow unnecessary parts on the film with a shaky camera that makes this movie a bit longer than though.
Apr 19, 2014Captain phillips was one of my favorite movies of 2013..this is type of movie that's breathtaking to watch especially since it was based on a true story of a U.S cargo ship that got hijacked from Somali pirates .tom hanks gives a great oscar role as captain Phillips . The actors who play the Somali pirates do a terrific job on there role ..the pacing is good ..and a great crazy ending to this story .overall great movie. ...91/100… Expand
Apr 14, 2014Great and very solid film. Tense and thrilling with some realistic action. Good plot and acting on point. In fact the acting from Tom Hanks is near perfection, first because you don´t even notice he is acting, you just follow the story and are in from the beginning, and then because towards the end of the film he shows what he´s capable of. Great performance. But the acting from the main pirate is outstanding too, especially for a person who has never acted before. The films does good at explaining the reasons why all these people are in this situation and it works. Only little flaws: it could have been slightly shorter (only a little bit) and the ending gets a little too melodramatic in a way that the rest of the movie was not. Still outstanding.… Expand
Apr 12, 2014Really really intense film, which made for a very exciting and satisfying experience. Tom Hanks is great in the lead role, as expected and throughout, the expected thrills and suspense are absolutely there as you find yourself virtually on the edge of your seat at times. What was unexpected, for sure, is the sympathy I personally felt for a couple of the pirates, in particular Barkhad Abdi's character. You certainly get the sense that he does not want to be doing this, but has no choice as it is the only way he can make any money in Somalia. In spite of that, director Paul Greengrass is still able to instill the sense of fear felt by Phillips as the pirates prove again and again that they are unpredictable and prone to rash decisions, which really makes you worry for Phillips and will become of him. Overall, Captain Phillips is a very entertaining film that is entirely straightforward (not a knock) and proves to certainly be another strong entry in what was a great year of film in 2013.… Expand
Apr 7, 2014Captain Phillips is an interesting true story which revolves around modern day pirates attacking an American cargo ship. Tom Hanks is absolutely fantastic as the titular captain (but then you wouldn't expect any less) and the rest of the cast is totally on point too. The movie is realistic in the extreme and holds no place for sentimentality. Basically, it's great all the way around. That said, I'm also not sure Captain Phillips is a movie that truly demands repeat viewings.… Collapse
Apr 5, 2014The only issue I really had with 'Captain Phillips' was the cinematography in the first half of the film and the chintzy way they "foreshadowed" events to viewer. Especially when based on real events, that is simply inexcusable. I never really got that feeling of tension or anxiety watching the film until the very end. Tom Hank's performance in the last 15 minutes of that film really hit home and was some of the best acting I have seen in a long time.… Expand
Mar 25, 2014For a person who loves watching true story movies, this has to be one of my favorites and with the fantastic actor Tom Hanks, its definitely been made better.
This movie was definitely interesting and it hit me hard at the end and yes i admit that i did cry.
Mar 23, 2014Good acting in general, Hanks shows one more time his great skills in acting. Unnecessary long movie, Phillips begins like the hero of the day, then it becomes a military movie. At last, it finishes being one of the (not few) Pro-USA movies: "USA is goodness, any other country is evil". How many boats, soldiers, helicopters did they need to rescue a single person?... yeah right...
Mar 23, 2014Honestly, this movie was a little overrated, but it was still worth watching. It had good action and a good storyu, but parts of it were pretty boring.
Mar 18, 2014It starts off incredibly slow, but when things pick up shortly later the movie does not let up. It is constantly one of the most intense movies I have ever seen. I was always on the edge of my seat and constantly unsure of how things would turn out next. Tom Hanks is amazing here, but honestly it's Tom Hanks so that's what you would expect of him. The rest of the cast is also astounding. Just the way the main villain is interpreted made me feel sort of sorry for him. The movie feels real and human, which is made extra important because this is based off of a true story. This is an absolutely amazing movie and one that I HIGHLY recommend you watch ASAP. I give it a score of 9/10-Amazing.… Expand
Mar 16, 2014As much as I hate this movie for the false story it portrays which has been argued by the crew who had proven otherwise that Phillips was incompetent and who's actions nearly caused some of their deaths, the entertainment value made it worth the watch with Tom Hanks doing one of the best acting jobs I have seen in a long time.
Squeezing every drop of tension from wet-ink recent history, Phillips only falters when making its protagonists mouthpieces in a broader geopolitical debate. Otherwise, it's full steam ahead to the Oscars.

LEE COUNTY, Fla.- Lee County is confirming that it has found hairline cracks in some beams that support the Sanibel Causeway Bridge. The Deptartment of Transportation is asking for $160,000 to hire a company to document the cracks.
"There is no safety issue or structural issue. These are tiny cracks at the ends of some beams. We want some help to inspect every single beam, periodically, over the next year, and document what is going on," said Dave Loveland, dir. of the Lee DOT.
"We first saw the cracks in 2009, and sealed them. But some re-appeared," added Loveland.
The bridge was replaced in the mid-2000s. The newest part of the structure was dedicated in 2007, making it just over five years in age.
Still, Loveland says the stress of heavy traffic and trucks probably is causing the cracking. He also blames the state and federal governments for allowing lower-quality beams as the standard for bridges in the mid-2000s. Regulators recently have strengthened the standards for beams.
Erin Jackson, who commutes on the bridge to and from Captiva, five days a week, is concerned.
"That seems a bit unusual for such a new bridge. I mean, I want to be sure it is safe, and if there are cracks, I would think those cracks would get worse over time," Jackson told WINK News.
Christine Friedrichs, who bikes and drives on the bridge regularly, agrees.
"If they say it is safe, I guess we have to go with that. However, I am really worried about the start of tourist season for Sanibel. We don't need any issues with the bridge to interfere with season, it's very important for Sanibel this time of year," Friedrichs said.
Lee commissioners are supposed to vote on Tuesday on whether to spend the 160-thousand dollars to hire a company to inspect the beams.

Rated 4 out of 5 by 365RoadWarrior Still a solid choice I've got a client close by, so I spend about 15 weeks a year in the area. Over 25 years, I've moved between a half dozen properties; lately, I've gravitated toward this as my first choice. I'm looking for a place to sleep and to have a workout. Since a tremendous upgrade a few years ago, the fitness center is now good. The rooms continue to be comfortable and functional and, despite the proximity of the freeway, consistently quiet. (I am only familiar with only the standard, non-suite/non-SPG preferred rooms.) The setting is peaceful. Staff is pretty helpful overall; some of them have been there for a number of years. Everything is clean, if not shiny/new. The only "bummer" is that the Club Lounge never quite opens on time, especially in the morning service - a concern to me because I'm always pushed for time. It's gotten better the past year or so, but 6:30AM should mean 6:30AM. It's a small thing; I'll be back again next week. June 12, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Kentuckygirl Front desk staff were so helpful! We stayed a week, half was business and half was vacation. All of the front desk staff were so helpful, especially Tammy. We could not have asked for more. They gave us travel advice and directions to local sites. The maid staff was also very friendly. Our room was clean and the beds were very comfortable. The restaurant was closed during most of our stay so we had to eat in the bar, but other than that, the stay was perfect. May 2, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by ChrisATX613 Clean, but thin on standard amenties Pros: Clean/comfy beds and bright/clean baths. Cons: No WiFi service in my room, and staff did not correct this problem after being notified. Not that it would have mattered, as WiFi is not included, not even for SPG members, and is absurdly expensive. And it is misconfigured-- couldn't even use "iPass" to connect through the hotel WiFi. A/C unit in my room was very noisy. Hotel restaurant was horrible and pricey. January 22, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by traveller2213 Hotel Need Improvement Room was older than we expected based on pictures and our previous stay, there was popcorn on the ceiling, remodel and updates definitely needed! We stayed for our wedding night, they didn't offer any extra upgrades or anything even after most of our out of town guest we referred to this hotel. Rates were the same if you booked online regularly, or even higher. guess they don't care about customer loyalty, it's sad. January 2, 2013

Rated 5 out of 5 by Traveller16 Exceptional I arrived late in the evening and departed early the next morning. In the eight hours I was at this hotel, the staff made me feel as at home than I felt during numerous stays at a St. Regis (which prides itself on such service) earlier this year. This is a nice Sheraton property with exceptionally good service. June 2, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by NorwegianLars Good location and spacious appartments with pool and SPA Spent 1 week at this hotel. Booked a suite/ pool-side appartment which were spacious with a living room w kitchenette, a large bedroom and a large bath (separate toilet), TV in both living- and bedroom. Standard is above medium but it is not high quality or newly refurbished. Still a very good option to several other hotels at same fee range. Room-cleaning and rinsing (cloth) services are good and fast. December 4, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by ecsharp GET AN INTERNET BOOSTER! It is incredibly frustrating how bad the wireless internet connection is. Spotty, in and out, weak connection, and virtually impossible to stream video. After long days of work it is difficult to connect with any device (laptop, iPad, iPhone) and the signal drops constantly. It's really frustrating, especially given you're in the heart of Silicon Valley. You MUST make an investment to make this better. March 31, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Grant00 Great staff - going the extra mile I spent 3 nights here for business. The hotel was good, but the staff were exceptional. I would particularly recognise Joy from reception who went out of her way to make sure we looked after. She even went to the trouble of putting together some materials for us about things to do at our next destination, which happend to be her home town. A truly exceptional example of customer service. March 21, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Cinoma2001 Relaxing Stay I only had one night at this location and I didn't expect much from a hotel next to a freeway but I was pleasantly surprised. This was a very relaxing hotel with a fantastic pool and exercise room. The hotel's Bistro restaurant was also very good as there weren't any dining choices nearby. The freeway location though made it very easy to get to anywhere in the San Jose/Bay area. I will stay again. August 22, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by Fanfoot Internet needs some work Internet is not acceptable for a business hotel. I often start out wired, that flakes out and I switch to Wi-Fi which for some reason then works. Still gets pretty slow in the evenings, they need to beef up the back-end. Also the Wi-Fi coverage is inadequate. I was on one of the preferred floors--8, and I still couldn't get a signal in various parts of the room. Other spots were fine. Needs work. April 5, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by Minab Worst hotel ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Worst stay of my life. Will make it my goal to let everyone know how bad this stay was. Plan on twitting pics of the mold growth in my room and posting the video on twitter. Will leverage friends and athletes that I know have millions of followers to get the word out about how bad my SPG stay was at your hotel!!!!!!!!! May 9, 2014

Rated 5 out of 5 by Alphaplus11 Excellent all around. Stayed for 2 nights. Nice and friendly staff. Great area for local attractions. It is recommended if you are in the area and looking for a place to stay. I booked King room, was looking for 2 queens room, I kindly asked if there was anything and staff was friendly to accommodate. Appreciate it. May 20, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Oscar2013 Hotel was surprisingly nice The only real issue I had with this hotel was at check in. I had made the reservation in my husbands name. They would not allow me to check in with my ID..they made him get out of the car and present his ID and info. Never ever had this happen before. Worked out in the end but was a bit inconvenienced at the beginning. Annoying especially after travelling for several hours. September 16, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by paul88 soothing and restful We were allowed early checkin to a club floor suite, which had a king bed and an adjoining room with a sofa bed. The doors to the small balcony opened to let the cool breeze circulate. The sound of running water from the central court fountain promoted tranquility. The continental breakfast, free parking, and access to a printer for boarding passes made for relaxing stay. September 5, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 Superb Sheraton i always stay here for business travel for San Jose and i always have a great stay and experience. the rooms are always clean and comfortable and i was very lucky to stay in one of the suites which what fabulous. The staff are incredibly helpful and happy. I like to think of this as a hidden gem. thank you again for making my recent business trip relaxing and enjoyable, April 16, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by NellyGirl Water Polo Weekend Hotel is clean, staff is very accommodating, location is close to many freeways...we were there for water polo tournament with boys of all ages.

I would highly recommend this facility for business or pleasure! August 3, 2012

Rated 4 out of 5 by Fanfoot A great option for Silicon Valley/San Jose Look, this is a great hotel. Its conveniently located. It's clean and quiet. It has great room service. Decent internet (though it could still use improvement). Comfortable beds etc. My only gripe is that as a Platinum 50 member who stays here every couple of weeks, I don't get much recognition. I rarely get assigned to the upper floors of the hotel for examplle. June 20, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Jem912 will definitely come back when in the area We stayed at Sheraton SanJose (in Milpitas) for 2 nights visiting families. The hotel is conviniently located 7 miles from Great Mall with abundant shopping and restaurants. Easy find off 101 on a quiet street. Must have a car to explore surrounding areas. Public trans is not so easily accessible. We were greeted with a warm smile, friendly and professional staff. They recognized our SPG Gold and gave us an upgrade to a suite, pool side veiw and a late check out -- made us feel valued. The suite has seperate bedroom and a living area, fridge, complimentary bottled water and microwave. The only thing missing is coffee/tea maker. You must pay for in-room WiFi but free in the lobby. Suite is clean, super comfortable, modern decor, spacious and the bed is heavenly comfortable. The common areas, hallways, lobby are well maintained with elegant decor. We will definitely come back whenever in town. Really impressed with the staff at this Hotel -- I was at the lobby waiting for someone and just observing how they handle each visitor -- they were friendly, courteous and kind. They made me smile . . . great Job ! June 11, 2014

Rated 4 out of 5 by RGII Great Staff Many shortcomings (and there were none in my case) in hotels can be overcome with enthusiastic, helpful staff. In this case the staff was terrific! Tammy and Hannah are two whom I remember, but everyone who was working during my four nights was extremely helpful. Thanks to all and consider giving the staff a nice Christmas bonus!! December 11, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by rawhide619 mixed experience here Hotel was not in location I expected so when I checked in, I indicated we may be leaving after one night to which clerk stated I may have to pay for entire stay even if I left. I have never been told that before as SPG platinum member. Quite rude and irritating. Nonetheless, the rooms are very nice and the pool area is nice also. July 16, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by MLD31 Comfortable hotel and good location. Good business hotel for Silicon Valley. Next to great mall of America. Can't beat that! Joy at the front desk is very nice. Staff tried to accommodate as much as they can. SPG recognition is good here. Room is super clean. May 6, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Alexander I love coming back there Was staying at this hotel for the last four years and love coming back. Rooms are big and clean. Staff is excellent: friendly, willing to accommodate every need and welcoming each time I arrive. Not every room has a work desk or a fridge, so you better ask for those at the check-in, if you need them. May 12, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Dre82 Beautiful hotel with great customer service I stayed at this hotel for one night. The front desk staff was great and provided excellent staff during my stay. The room was clean and modern with an outstanding bathroom, and a balcony with a view of the courtyard/pool. I would definitely stay at this hotel the next time I am in the area. December 23, 2012

This is the indispensable compendium of popular misconceptions, misunderstandings and common mistakes culled from the hit BBC show, "QI". The noticeably stouter "QI Book of General Ignorance" sets out to show you that a lot of what you think you know is wrong. If, like Alan Davies, you still think the Henry VIII had six wives, the earth has only one moon, that George Washington was the first president of the USA, that Bangkok is the capital of Thailand, that the largest living thing is a blue whale, that Alexander Graeme Bell invented the telephone, that whisky and bagpipes come from Scotland or that Mount Everest is the world's tallest mountain, then there are at least 200 reasons why this is the book for you.

One of the hats I wear at Barton County Extension is to work with the Community Development committee to bring ideas to the table that help make our communities a great place to be.

The "Check Out Hunger" food drive for the Community Food Bank of Barton County was a huge success. RSVP volunteers partnered with 6th grade students from Holy Family School, a local Brownie troop, and Barton County Youth Care manned tables at Dillon's on 10th Street and Walmart on Saturday, April 6th. Persons entering the stores received a handout about the Community Food Bank with a grocery list of needed items.

Nelson reaffirms plans for Mayport carrier
Updated On: Apr 29 2013 03:49:33 PM EDT
Sen. Bill Nelson is reaffirming the military's plans to bring a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier to Naval Station Mayport.
It's now expected that a carrier will arrive in 2020 or possibly 2019.
Right now, the only East Coast carrier port is in Virginia.
Nelson says the policy to eventually bring a carrier here is "etched in stone."
Some of the projects to make Mayport nuclear-ready, such as dredging the harbor, have been completed, although others have been pushed back.
"The carrier, because of the cutbacks in the budget, including the sequester, has scared everybody so that they're afraid to spend dollars that they don't absolutely have to. But it is obviously the policy," Nelson said.
Nelson also says the secretary of the Navy, as recently as last Thursday, has reaffirmed the decision to put a carrier here.
He also says the Navy's decision to bring an amphibious ready group to Mayport in 2014 or 2015 will help the local ship repair industry.

LEE COUNTY, Fla-Elizabeth Delong has struggled for years to make ends meet.
"This year, I could actually do [buy Christmas presents] for my kids, and it got taken away," Delong tells WINK News.
A real-life grinch broke into their family home on Christmas Eve.
"My girls got their presents taken away," said Delong.
With no one around, the thieves walked out of Delong's front door with about $300 worth of gifts. Delong believes the burglar or burglars came in through the back door. Since then, the family has added extra security to their home to prevent future break- ins.
Now, they hope others learn from their story.
"Make sure your doors are locked, get a bar or something to protect your back door," she said.

Energy and Water Supply Minister Mark McArdle today visited North Stradbroke Island to thank firefighters, police and other state emergency services personnel who have spent over a week battling a major bushfire during increasingly hot, dry and unpredictable conditions.
"Like most Queenslanders watching the devastating bushfire unfold on North Stradbroke Island over the last week, I was in awe of the sheer power of the fire and humbled by the mighty efforts of countless number of people who are determined to manage it," Mr McArdle said.
"I congratulate and thank everyone involved for their ongoing efforts to safely reduce the level of damage that would otherwise be associated with a major Australian bushfire, especially one that is occurring in the middle of the hottest and driest part of our summer so far."
Mr McArdle also paid tribute to Energex, Seqwater and Redland Council staff who, behind the scenes, worked tirelessly to maintain energy and water supply services on North Stradbroke Island, as well as in other parts of the Redland Council area.
"Despite the increasing demand associated with the scorching heat right across Queensland, Energex and Seqwater continued to work with Redland Council and other agencies to restore and maintain services," he said.
"Energex, Seqwater and Redland Council worked together to restore and maintain water and power supply against increasing odds, including significant bushfire damage to assets."
Energex and Seqwater are well advanced in restoring all permanent electricity and water services to the island.

- The Many Meanings of the Only Christ
- Authors: Marit Trelstad
Pages: 179 - 184
Abstract: The intertwining of reflection about Christ and personal experience of Jesus has been at the heart of the matter from the start of the Reformation. Luther's Christology unites the transcendent and the intimate; it is Christ alone, Solus Christus, who mediates God's presence and promise to the world. This becomes one of the "solas" of the Reformation and the one to which this volume of Dialog is dedicated. This introduction considers the variety of ways theology has described the primary experience of Christ; we will consider how Christ has been theologically presented in terms of love, liberation, creativity, co‐sufferer, and holy presence. In addition, within the last century, one can see Christologies taking on universal or particular forms. The universal approach sees Christ in, with and under all the world, whereas the more "particular" forms connect to the singularity of Christ or Jesus as the sole locus of revelation of God in history or today. This introduction also explores the contemporary debate about the meaning of the cross and atonement in relation to the understanding of Christ as savior.

- Christ‐Centered Concreteness: The Christian Activism of Dietrich
Bonhoeffer and Martin Luther King Jr.
- Authors: Reggie L. Williams
Pages: 185 - 194
Abstract: Dietrich Bonhoeffer and Martin Luther King Jr. were both pastors and theologians who wrestled with the meaning of Christ‐centered faithfulness for their time. They were advocates of social justice and human rights who resisted the temptation towards a secularizing two‐realms split that makes Christianity a private life religion; they defied contemporary laws and cultural norms, and they faced opposition to their work from many of their fellow Christians. We may learn from their prophetic witness for Christian faithfulness in our contexts by paying attention to their respective interpretations of the way of Jesus.

- "Overlapping Memberships": Interactive Multicultural Theory
Meets Chalcedonian Christology
- Authors: Kayko Driedger Hesslein
Pages: 195 - 202
Abstract: Chalcedonian Christology defines the relationship between the two natures of Christ as "truly God and truly human" but does not explain how the radically different natures interact with one another. Multicultural theory's model of interactive pluralism proposes that differences engage through "overlapping memberships." Applying this model to the incarnation pushes beyond the limits of Chalcedon to suggest a Christology in which both immanence and transcendence mutually and equally constitute the one person of Christ.

- Jesus' Prophethood and Islam: Insights from the Risale‐i Nur
- Authors: Kristin Johnston Largen
Pages: 203 - 212
Abstract: While Jesus' prophethood is an indisputable component of his identity in the Christian tradition, it has been marginalized for centuries in favor of his identity as savior. In this article, I argue that an engagement with an understanding of Jesus' prophethood in Islam, particularly as explicated by the Turkish thinker Bediüzzaman Said Nursi, can help Christians recover a more robust interpretation of Jesus as prophet that has a positive impact on a Christian articulation of the church and of discipleship today.

- Why Jesus?
- Authors: John B. Cobb
Pages: 213 - 222
Abstract: Jesus plays potentially a uniquely important role in relation to the world's greatest needs. To respond to the global crisis, we need historical consciousness. The source of historical consciousness is the prophetic tradition. Through Jesus the prophetic tradition became widely available and important. However, this consciousness has been responsible for great evil as well as great good, often bound up with we/they thinking and the use of violence. Jesus' teaching of love of the enemy in principle overcomes this tendency and points to way forward.

- Solus Christus within Empire: Christology in the Face of Violence against
- Authors: Mary J. Streufert
Pages: 223 - 232
Abstract: When seen as the theocentric political confession it is, the confession "only Christ" is possible and meaningful for victim/survivors of violence against women. To confess only Christ undoes what is "required" in an empire of violence against women and is the recognition that Jesus Christ embraces our bodies, all of them. Moreover, this confession changes the body's response—individual and communal—to violence in an empire of violence against women.

- Christ as Chrism, Christ Given Away
- Authors: Anna Mercedes
Pages: 233 - 239
Abstract: This article develops the concept of Christ not as static body but as chrism for bodies. Christ as chrism travels in the matrix of relationality, on a vector toward the benefit of others. Conceptualizing christ as chrism potentially avoids both exclusionary and colonizing tendencies in Christian polity, and frames a Christian ethics that, while vulnerable and risky, marks the sanctity of the one giving Christ away.

- Beyond Deep Incarnation: Rethinking Christology in Radical Lutheran Terms
- Authors: Daniel J. Peterson
Pages: 240 - 249
Abstract: This article takes the demise of Christendom and what Diana Butler Bass calls the end of religion as its point of departure for a "radical" rethinking of God in fully kenotic terms. It rejects any vestige of otherworldly transcendence as a temptation to escapism, inviting us instead to seek God's complete presence among us here in the world. Going beyond Niels Gregersen's understanding of the deep incarnation of the Logos and starting instead with a complete commitment to the infra‐Lutheranum, the author presents a radical Lutheran theology that embraces a total kenosis of God whose liberating and life‐giving reappearance we must find implicit among us in unexpected places, not least of which might include the embers of a dying church or the crumbling of our religious institutions.

- The View from Way Below: Inter‐Species Encounter, Membranes, and the
Reality of Christ
- Authors: Lisa E. Dahill
Pages: 250 - 258
Abstract: Viewing modern life from the perspective and world of those whose lives are treated as expendable commodities in our current economic systems—humans and creatures of every other species—creates, Bonhoeffer asserts, the most reliable hermeneutical standpoint for seeing and living in reality. This essay attempts to fashion in broad strokes a Christian theology of creaturely re‐engagement: learning to live again "way below," in literal and metaphoric touch with reality. I assert that Bonhoeffer's theology of I/Thou encounter as the means of humans' ethical formation has the potential to ground a broader theology of inter‐species encounter as well.

- Hospice Care and a Theology for Patients at the End of Life
- Authors: Tara Flanagan Tracy
Pages: 259 - 267
Abstract: In Richard Kearney's text Anatheism, he claims that one can respond to the call of the stranger in two ways, with hospitality or with hostility. However, because the stranger possibly bears the presence of the divine, he urges one to risk responding to the stranger's call with hospitality rather than hostility, opening oneself up to encountering the sacred in the form of the stranger. In the present analysis, I claim that hospitality toward the stranger is modeled in the hospice philosophy of care for dying patients. I note the distinctions between the biomedical model of health care and the biopsychosoical model of care, and draw on Kearney's framework and Dorothee Soelle's text Suffering to suggest that, with regard to how to interpret pain, the act of hosting can be an option more viable than that of demonstrating hospitality.
