The sea vegetables in Eden Sea Vegetable Chips are the finest grade, harvested in pristine waters and naturally sun dried. They are added to a dough made of wheat germ, the prized grain Job's tears (Coix lachryma-jobi) and sea salt. The dough is kneaded, dried and baked into chips. The chips are then flash fried in rice bran oil. Centrifuge spinning removes the oil, producing crisp, light healthy chips.
Eden Sea Vegetable Chips provide good food value and delicious flavor. They contain no artificial colors, flavorings, or preservatives. Most packaged snacks are loaded with hydrogenated oil (trans fats), harsh salt, refined sugar and preservatives. Eden Sea Vegetable Chips are a convenient way to get the benefits of sea vegetables and grains. Enjoy them as is or with a favorite dip.

your last sentence said he didn't start any wars
was that a criticism?
do tell
are you a war monger
i'm confused
your point it seemed was
bush started 2 wars
obama didn't
edge obama
course he did redeploy troops from iraq - where we got thrown out - to afghanistan
not such a good move
"gop war machine" ......... all we need is an organ grindr and a monkey
I like the "edge Obama." Like it's really easy to just accidentally start two really bad wars with no point. Oops. So Obama's got a slight edge over Bush. lol.
Obama≠Bush (which is completely different from "the president is doing a good job").
Many of his Dem. colleagues did not - many of his key appointments did not
many of the dems who did not have been rewarded with better appointments and have more power since their vote FOR war
it's a long but good read
"Thirty-one* states allow all qualified citizens to carry concealed weapons. In those states, homosexuals should embark on organized efforts to become comfortable with guns, learn to use them safely and carry them. They should set up Pink Pistols task forces, sponsor shooting courses and help homosexuals get licensed to carry. And they should do it in a way that gets as much publicity as possible. "

Haiti: Aftermath of the Earthquake
On January 12, shortly before 5 p.m., a magnitude 7 earthquake struck about 10 miles southwest of Port-au-Prince, Haiti. Although the earthquake lasted 35 seconds, the destruction continues to devastate Haitians over a month later. The death toll stands at over 200,000 people. UN food deliveries did not reach parts of the country's capital for three weeks after the quake.
Photographer Willie Davis offers a glimpse of life in Haiti following the earthquake. His photographs capture the devastation caused by the disaster, the tent cities where survivors are camped out in Port-au-Prince, and the resilience of the people affected.

Traditional Japanese Foods — Nuclear Radiation Food SafetyJapanese Ocean Currents
Traditionally hand crafted by the Tanaka family using very old methods from hard red winter and spring wheat flour and a bit of sea salt. They have been making udon noodles since 1906, now with four generations actively involved at their small shop. The most popular noodle in Japan, these are a perfect example of why. Similar to linguine in thickness and shape, but square edged. Udon is light, refreshing, and always satisfying, ideal with dashi - shoyu soy sauce kombu broth, Eden Ponzu, or any way you enjoy pasta. Provides healthy fiber, protein, complex carbs, and iron.

Comments about Perfect Pointer™:
You can use this nifty pointer to glow green (with several positive, affirming sounds--one per click) and when it glows red, it will make a sound that indicates, "no" or "sigh", etc. Also, you can just press green, red or blue with no sound. The students will immediately get feedback with this super duper pointer. The sound is just right.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Looking for the ultimate flippin jig? Look no further. The Outkast RTX Jig utilizes Outkast's recessed technology - now with an extra strong flipping hook! Its sleek bullet-shaped head is designed to penetrate the thickest of weeds, and its custom 30-degree Gamakatsu hook can handle any hook set without bending or breaking.
Outkast Jigs are designed with a double-barb keeper, which locks your trailer of choice in place so you spend more time fishing and less time repositioning your plastic trailer. Built with an extra-thick, yet compact, skirt (54 strands in all), the Outkast RTX Jig fishes heavy (easy to feel) yet falls slowly (stays in the strike zone longer).
The Outkast RTX Jig also has a convenient double rattle system that allows you to quickly add/remove rattles to customize your jig to the water you're fishing. One extra loud magnum rattle is included.
Comments: The line tie being at 30 degrees is the deal on this jig! Hooks them further back in the mouth and keeps them pinned up coming out of the heavy cover. Perfect weedguard and a thick skirt. The ratttle is a beast too! Well worth the extra $ over the hack attack!
From: Kyle: MI 7/3/14
Comments: By far the best flipping jig you will ever use. With a hook like a gaff and a awesome bait keeper you can't go wrong. Don't let these beef slayer fool you, it's more then a flippin jig. You can power swim it like non other. Best color for me is bruise but all the other colors have and time and place. Best jig company bar none.
From: Matt: Bloomington, MN
Comments: The strongest hook I have ever fished! Awesome durable paint on the head and the rattle is super loud! 8 foot flippin stick and 80 pound braid with zero issues!!

I thought this was a helpful thread but not even 1 reply how hard is it to write something to help others unhelpful guys.
Well i have on my alt specced tank and i have gotten some tank gear but now i dont want to tank i asked my guild leader about it. But i dont want to tank i want to dps but when i enter instances im almost immediately kicked out cause i dont have enough dps gear when i have like 80% tank gear and i want to get in hold of dps gear so what do 1 do now im screwed....
I thought this was a helpful thread but not even 1 reply how hard is it to write something to help others unhelpful guys.
Sorry, I cannot look at your armory, i am at work. I would say that your best bet to get into DPS is to go get as much crafted epic gear you can, and then get the crafted blue DPS gear. There are some good items available through the AH also. A little time researching this site will give you all the information you need. The item lvl 178-200 range stuff is perfectly fine for starting DPS in random heroics. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. The problem you will have is that peope have gotten used to everyone doing 3K dps or better in a random, and that is just not even close to being needed.
As far as your comment about people not being helpful on this site... That is simpy not the case. It's just that questions like this get asked 20 times a day, and all the info you are asking for is already on this site.
Personally I started from the bottom again, did normals for some DPS gear (and bought some craftables). Seems like that would be your best bet. I never had any problems, might just have been lucky.
Anyway, I would suggest doing normal dungeons and then buy some craftables as gold allow it.
As a side note:
You might want to give people some time to answer. As Grannos said just above...
These things are probably asked quite frequently too, should take that in consideration.Originally Posted by Grannos
But best off luck with getting your gear.
You can't expect people to help you RIGHT NOW between 1 am and 8 am. Chill the F out. And instead of whining about people being unhelpful, maybe try looking at the other threads on this site because there's already a lot of useful information on here. Whining and demanding attention is not the best way to get people to take time out of their day to cater to your whims and help you.
Go for crafted gear if you can afford it, or badge gear; if you haven't done some of the Icecrown or Stormpeaks quest you can do those for gear, and instance quests are good for gear too. I would recommend just tanking some heroics to get some DPS gear. OR just DPS--they usually aren't allowed to kick you right off the bat because there's a wait time. If anybody calls you on your DPS just say you're there to work on your DPS gear set and unless you're wiping in HoR because you can't kill the first boss or LK adds fast enough, it's not actually a problem people just like to bitch if somebody isn't in full t10. Tell them to shove it, it's what I do as healer ("it's only a problem if we're wiping, shut up and kill something")
You have a guild, right? They don't want to help at all? Not even a little?
for some reason the armory link provided in the OP doesn't work for me, this works however:
unenchanted and ungemmed gear is bad, mkay ? I'd consider kiking you out too if you were in my pug. A minimal effort in the form of green/blue gems and cheap 10-20g enchants would apease my wrath.when i enter instances im almost immediately kicked out
Also signing in as dps with half the gear for tanking, a grand total of zero gems and 2 enchants, will surely irk most people who spent thousands of gold to fine tune their char.
Signing in ungemed and unenchanted as tank, will also get some nice "lol, rogue has more HP than the tank" moments. I can imagine getting kiks in this scenario too.
In short: shape up!
Last edited by Timberton; 08-12-2010 at 03:49 AM.
If I were in your position I would buy the ilevel 200 crafted headpiece, then enchant/gem everything as if I were DPS even if the piece is tanking gear.
Hopefully by enchanting/gemming my DPS would be in the 1200-1500 range, then I would que up and start the emblem farming. Since you are only 109 emblems into the race you really haven't wasted a lot of time or emblems.
If I didn't hit the 1200-1500 dps range I would do normal runs and get the two emblems per day until I had enough of the tier 9 gear to be in the 1200-1500 range.
I admit I would probably kick you in a heroic run as well, just on the fact that none of your gear is gemmed or enchanted. I wouldn't necessarily expect epic enchants/gems but at least invest enough to make people think you are committed to making your character better.
You can probably buy BoE DPS 187 blues for 20-30 G a piece iirc, at least on my server. Get your minning up and ask guildies to craft for you with your mats (show them you're working at it).
Ditto-ing the general concensus on the lack of enchants/gems. Even through +12 gems in will show you're trying to maximize the gear even though you're looking to upgrade it quickly.
Another thing to do is run as many dungeons as you can, do it in tank gear, since it's better, suffer for getting better drops. Let everyone know you'll be needing DPS upgrades, plus with the triumphs you gain you'll quickly be able to buy better DPS gear, either triumph or traded down for conquest or valor (like the valor cloak, or is it a heroism cloak?).
Anyway, the point is, at this stage, with the focus being on ICC gearing, new 80s have it rough especially with the desire to Zerg. It's time to grind... Good luck.

Pastor Maldonado reckons the restrictions imposed on race drivers at this week's Silverstone test have made it impossible to truly judge the impact of the new tyres.
The Williams driver reckons that once the FIA and Pirelli clarified that race drivers would not be allowed to run with new parts or tweak set-up during tyre runs, it became clear that this week's test would not deliver a clear picture about what to expect in Hungary.
"We could change nothing," the Williams driver told Autosport about the restrictions imposed. "No starts; no set-ups, no pressures. Nothing.
"It was quite limited by Pirelli and the FIA, so we just tested the different compounds of tyres they give us - medium, hard and prototype.
"I think we still need to work around these tyres to find out more - but we couldn't do it today because we were a bit limited. It will be interesting to work around the tyres and see if the car can improve around them."
Nevertheless, Maldonado does think the 2012 tyre construction should perform more consistently.
"I think there is an improvement in terms of reliability and performance," he said.
"Maybe the tyres are not quicker than what we had in the past, but they are very consistent, which is quite good.
"But we don't have exactly a clear idea because we don't know - as always in testing. We don't' know what the others are testing but it seems to be quite normal and good."
As far as Williams is concerned, Maldonado is hopeful that a recent technical reshuffle, which will see Pat Symonds join the outfit as its new technical chief in place of Mike Coughlan, will have a positive impact down the line.
Symonds won't be a miracle fix, says the Venezuelan, but his arrival is a cause for optimism.
"With Pat, it is going to be very interesting," he said. "He is new in the team and will need some time to make everything work together.
"But he has been very successful in the past and is quite good - so I hope we can improve together, work very hard and before the end of the season achieve something very good."
Though Williams have struggled all season, failing to score a single point to date, Maldonado says everyone is pushing to find a solution.
"I have been working with all the technical people in the team - and we have tried to solve the problems. Sometimes we struggle to solve them, but many times we have been quite good at gaining the solutions," he said.
"Maybe that is going to help the team to keep improving. Or maybe not. Who knows? I hope it is going to help, fingers crossed."

Intro to Parkour
What is Parkour: Simply stated Parkour is the art of overcoming obstacles as swiftly and efficiently as possible using only your body. Fundamental skills include running, jumping, and climbing. We develop and build on these fundamentals to improve our ability to pass over, under, around and through obstacles with more complex movements. Parkour is a system of fitness training that improves strength, speed, agility, coordination, stamina, endurance, and precision. It offers a full-body workout at any level of experience, and improves your ability to move, to harness your confidence, to change how you see the world. Intro to Parkour (Required) ($10.00 drop-in): Thursday @ 6pm & Sunday @ 12:00pm Want to start parkour? This is the class to take. All parkour students are required to take this class to learn the basic parkour moves and safety. Once students master these moves they are welcome to attend Parkour White Band Classes or Parkour Open Gym. If you have parkour experience you may test out of this class .

I DL'ed this UI comp and there are a few issues.
Pitbull- your profile doesn't change anything. It is just 1 blank name plate on the screen
Bottom border addon- profile doesn't change where it is located
Quartz- profile doesn't go to location and its self, not enemy
oRA2- also in wrong location and profile doesn't change anything to it.
Also, is there any way you can add a list of what /commands to use when you log in for the first time so we make sure to get all the addons profiles changed. Boda has a list like that and it seems very helpful. Maybe I did the UI wrong and that is why they are not working...anyways.
Great UI, I love it, just wished it worked.

The CTA is stepping up rail service for Sunday's Bank of America Chicago Marathon, though some bus lines will see intermittent reroutes or delays as runners pass by.
More than 45,000 registered runners from all 50 states and 115 countries will embark on the course beginning in Grant Park and winding through 29 Chicago neighborhoods. Roughly 1.7 million spectators are expected to line the course, organizers say.
Longer trains will operate on almost all rail lines during marathon hours to accommodate the crowds, said the transit agency. Still, the CTA recommends all runners and spectators buy round-trip farecards in advance to cut down on lines later in the day.
Trains on the Red Line -- which already operates 24 hours a day -- will operate more frequently Sunday, while several other lines will begin operating earlier than normal. The first Brown Line train headed to downtown departs at 5 a.m., while inbound Green and Purple line service starts at 5:30 a.m., the agency said.
Spectators and runners can also use increased bus service on the No. 3 King Drive route, running every 15 minutes between McCormick Place and Chicago and Mies van der Rohe Way in the Gold Coast from 5:30 a.m. to 8:05 a.m.
Eleven rail stations designated as viewing stations are the best places on the CTA to catch a glimpse of the runners, the transit agency said. Those include:
• Red Line Grand, Monroe, Chicago, Addison and Sox/35th Red Line stations.
• Brown Line Sedgwick station,
• Blue Line UIC-Halsted station,
• Pink Line 18th Street station,
• Orange Line Halsted station,
• Green Line 35th-Bronzeville station,
• And the Roosevelt Red/Green/Orange Line station near the finish line in Grant Park
Three-dozen bus routes along the racecourse could see intermittent delays or reroutes during the marathon, according to the CTA, which advises customers to allow extra travel time.
CTA personnel will be present to help customers and provide travel information at select rail stations and major bus stops throughout the day.

Enter Traveller
I won't go into all the gory details, save it to say the group rolled two of the worst watch encounters back-to-back I have ever seen. The first, a vampire, they managed to mist and drive off (thanks to some quick thinking from the Friar and company). The second, however, was a Behir, and it overwhelmed the group entirely. I ran both right out of the book, and there was a small window to flee, but Friar Charles and the sorcerer Vas both went down permanently. The dwarven cleric Nalgin was rescued by Antigus the Druid, who escaped along with the (new party member) Valrayan the Ranger thanks to their (eventually) displaying the better part of valor.
I felt bad, but that's how the dice roll. It was just a matter of luck running out--no more Mulligan stones, no more d30 supercharge rolls. Just eating it, in a big way. But if there isn't the spectre of catastrophe, you don't have any suspense. I still think I'll be second-guessing a few things for a while, but to overuse a phrase, it is what it is.
Our group had already been discussing playing some different games before this all happened, and this was a pretty good to suspend the Castles & Crusades game for now. We all talked, and we were mostly all ready to try something other than high fantasy for a bit. So, next time, one of the guys will be running a one-off Deadlands session (I get to play for a change!), and the session after that, we do group character generation for Mongoose Traveller.
I'd also like to run Thousand Suns or the new In Harm's Way: StarCluster (which I'm still digesting) eventually, but almost no one in our group has played Traveller before--it's a gamer rite of passage. There's also some demand for Rolemaster, but I'm waiting on some things before I run it again, and the idea was to get away from fantasy for a little bit. I also still have my alt-history/pulp Two-Fisted Tales game under prep/research, and I think we'll get to it. I think the group agrees--there's just too many great games out there to be married to one game into perpetuity.
The basic idea is that all the players will be Imperial Navy, stationed on a science vessel that was part of a small fleet "showing the flag" in a little-traveled backwater full of warlords and hostile aliens. A surprise rebellion destroyed the entire fleet, save this one science vessel, which had to remain behind at a remote starport for vital repairs. Now, an entire sector of hostile space separates them from home.
One 600-ton science vessel vs. an entire hostile sector? A mismatch, I know. It doesn't seem fair to the sector...

Sounds solid. I look forward to the recaps. I'm a big Traveller fan (albiet classic as opposed to Mongoose) and I 'm glad to see it getting so much love on the blogosphere.
Maybe it should be my next game too. We'll see...

Your last line reminds me of a comment that one of my players made in my long running American Navy IHW campaign. He said: "I hope they (the US government) declare war on England. I could take London with six men in a rowboat."
The phrase 'six men in a rowboat' refers to the time during the Quasi-War with Frnace that he actually did take a 20 gun corvette with six men in a rowboat, but since then the PCs had defeated Tripoli, planted 2 colonies on the coast of North Africa to supply them, and put an ally, a Bedouin Sheykh, on the throne of Siwa in Egypt. It wasn't a totally idle boast. :D
Anyway, Good luck with this enterprise, and if you have any trouble digesting IHWSC, I recommend Tums.

@BA: Man, I love Traveller. It's still the standardbearer for imperial sci-fi. But I am really hoping that we can do either Cold Space, Thousand Suns, or IHW: SC soon. Traveller is a gateway game, in that sense.
@JonBrazer: Several JonBrazer products will be used in our game, actually! I'll be sure to give a shoutout when we do!
@clash: Nah, I'm sure IHW: SC will go down smooth. It's this lump of white fat instead of a brain that I have that slows things down. ;)
I love the "six men in a rowboat line", clash! I'd love to work in some of the "trade a grievous wound for survival and awesomeness" rules, like in IHW! I'm picturing the Traveller characters a little more competent than normal chargen usually produces. I need to get across the idea that these characters are part of the freakin' *Imperial Navy*. Not some puny planetary navy, not the minor-league sub-sector navy. Some lot of puffed-up warlords want to threaten them? 1 ship or 1000, their answer would be the same.

With Traveller, I would recommend doing four things to bring home that these guys are members of the IN:
1. Increase their stats. These guys are not slacking retirees, they are in their prime, and kept in excellent condition. Give them like 4 more points for physical stats. They will lose these points when they muster out and get pudgy. :D
2. Give them access to equipment people not in the military cannot get. Armor, weapons, analysis gear, computers, and slick toys. Make sure the other side just can't get them.
3. Give them more skills. Maybe they lose these too when they muster out, due to disuse, but these guys should be ultra competent while in the service.
4. Give them access to assets and a fierce reputation. They can access computers, networks, etc. using buried backdoors. They can requisition whatever they need so long as they can justify it later. They can use Imperial assets already in-place. They have wicked street-cred, and bonuses to intimidation.
These together should enable them to handle what needs to be handled, if they are smart and lucky.

I GM'd a very fun MGT game last year. In my experience it ran pretty smooth without enhancing anyone's stats, but I dig the 'normal' guys in extraordinary feel of the game.
Are you using the Naval Careers laid out in the High Guard book? Given your campaign description, it may be worth it.
Actually, the specialized career books are really the only supplemental material I would recommend for MGT.
- March 8, 2010 at 1:39 PM
- Zachary The First said...
1. I'm doing a standard array, I think, of 5, 7, 7, 7, 8, and 9, plus two points they can put where they'd like. We'll see how that works.
2. Oh yes, that's ship's locker is going to rock!
3. I'm thinking of giving two points after chargen to be used in skills of choice. I'm also using one of the campaign skill packs in MongooseTrav, which ensures basic profiencies needed aboard a starship. Plus, they can make Connections for a bonus skill rank (max of two, I should think).
4. I like this. I need to make sure I play this up. Not every world will be in rebellion, and some should be able to be cowed. The Imperials are elite, that needs to be stressed.
My thanks. That's some rockin' advice there, sir!
@tipsy: I am using the High Guard supplement, as it really gives some great IN career options. I think that and the main rulebook will be the only required books for the campaign.
Man, there's just something about running Traveller again. It's so exciting!

- March 8, 2010 at 2:54 PM
- Tipsy said...
I gotta say- MGT's connections rules are among the best elements of this version of Traveller. Nothing motivates players to come up with a shared history like a skill point or two.
Plus, its useful for the inevitable introduction of a new PC in the aftermath of another PCs death or a new player.
You know, something like this: "Fest? Is that you? Gentlemen this is Lt. Asgrid Fest. We surived the Kolgrath Abyss togther. Now lets see if we can all sure survive the next 48 hours."
Are you using any experience rules?
- March 8, 2010 at 4:19 PM
- clash bowley said...
Glad I could help, Zachary!
Tipsy - the advice was based on the LBBs, which is the only version of Trav I have run or even read, and I haven't run or read them for at least 25 years. Trav was my first love, but I'm no longer enamored of her... :D
Verification Encyclopedia: Trini - an indigenous inhabitant of the Trine system. Found on all three habitable world in the system, it is not known how they got there, as none are native to the worlds they inhabit, and the separate cultures are at most at a Neolithic level. See The Trine Conundrum.

- Zachary The First said...
@Tipsy: Honestly, I'm just not sure. I'm not sure I like any of the variants I've read. I think I might just do a very simple rewards system, based on what the players concentrate on the most.

Hey, haven't had a TPK recently but as a Rolemaster GM I need both hands and a foot to count them all. (Although between MERP and Rolemaster it's been 23 years) I did have a great big FAIL on the part of two younger tanks in the game. They both decided to attack a mercenary assassin. Who was in full plate and wielding a 2HSW. Each decided to use a secondary weapon, with no parry and both lost init. These guys typically wash the floor with mid level threats however with a few bad rolls they fell one after the next. What was amusing is they did it in order. Warrior #1 runs in, secondary weapon, no parry, looses init, suffers fatal and debilitating wound. Warrior #2 see this, chooses secondary weapon, no parry runs in, looses init and suffers an instant death. Warrior #2 was resurrected with the only tool available, but warrior #1 dies from complications and a few bad rolls on behalf of the group healer.
I felt no remorse.
The encounter was not random, but this particular group has never learned to work cooperatively. There mage was ambushed, as he was the target of the assassination attempt, and taken out of commission temporarily with good use of spells, stealth and poison (he was unconscious). The mercenary assistants were all killed off, with one exception, but at terrible cost. Had the party rallied together and organized they should have had an easy time of it. But that' Rolemaster. The one guy the party let go, was the mercenary warrior who killed of two party members. So I gave him a name rolled him up an now he is a random encounter, (perhaps not so random in the future) MWahahahah.

Hi all,
I researched about ADHD and learned that meditation helps in controlling the symptoms of ADHD.
I took my first 10 day retreat in 2009. After the course the awareness of sensations around the mouth and nostrils did not persist while I tried meditating a few times. I gave up meditating.
In 2010 I gave it another shot. I took a 10 day course (serving). I could get the awareness of breath and sensations at will, even after the retreat. I did not practice regularly.
In 2011 I took yet another 10 course serving. This strengthened my practice but again, I did not practice meditation regularly.
In 2013, due to difficulties at work and also my addiction to watching a lot of adult videos online and feeling out of control, I started meditating regularly. The past couple of weeks I started meditating 2 hours per day. Once in the morning and once in the evening. The great thing is that because of regular meditation I feel as if I have an invisible armor of solid gold around myself and that nothing external could disturb or perturb me. I could stay balanced and cool even in the middle of outer turmoil. And the best thing is that I did not watch even a single adult video online. This was the clearest sign that meditation works and helps me a lot.
But I also feel like I am walking on a tight rope. The moment I stop regular meditation, I will go back to my old ways. This has been a great struggle for me. Honestly, I am not meditating for liberation. I am worldly. I used to have deep spiritual inclinations when I was a kid growing up. The real reason I feel I am meditating is because I want to overcome my ADHD. Because if I don't meditate, my life will spiral out of control.
I do not look forward towards my morning and evening 1 hour sitting. I have to really struggle with my mind in order to sit for meditation. Once I sit, however, I meditate well and the effects after meditation are also good for the next 24 hours.
My question is this. Do you look forward towards your meditation sitting? Right now my mind is very reluctant to meditate and it does not have a natural inclination towards meditation. Maybe my motivation to meditate is flawed? What should be the right attitude towards meditation?

Staff courteous and helpful. I was able to check in early, after an early morning arrival on a transpacific flight.
Staff is attentive and service is dead on.Location is excellent!
rooms can be a bit small
The service by staff was excellent. Location was ideal .Breakfast although a bit expensive was very good and served in a fine dining manner. The sleep quality was very good and one just sank into the luxurious bed . Loved the slippers and robe provided. The doormen and concierge services were very good and staff always friendly and courteous. A,very special touch when dining was being provided with cushions to place our hand bags on instead of on the floor . I found that so delightful .
Found it expensive for the period I was there 4th to 9 th Dec as rates then dropped after I left. Due to a medical convention in town the rates went sky high in SF . But I suppose I didn't know about that before. The view from my room overlooked the refuse bins all lined up in a narrow dark street . ( campton street) ..We were not allocated a high floor room as requested.
We love the staff & the beautiful facility. My husband loves the fitness center, I love the dining & FREE coffee & fruits before the race!!!!
In every way, from arriving to departing three days later, this hotel is first-rate. Also, the dining is outstanding.
Nothing at all.
location and size
Location, very clean and well appointed spacious rooms
Night life can be noisy for rooms facing the alley, better in the higher floors away from the alley.
Good service and very helpful staff
Rooms a bit small
Staff Room is very Quiet
Small room Small shower / bathroom Not enough closet space
Left car unused 3 days in valet parking. Upon departure, battery was dead, needed to jump start, remote door lock no longer works. Car battery is only one year old.
Great location near shops & restaurants. Had a nice view of Union Square. Service is outstanding. Awesome breakfast in the restaurant.
Pretty pricey, especially for biz travelers, so this was our first time trying it out.
the staff was great! great sleepy time!
ive stayed at this hotel many times...it has lost its "polish" over the years. not sure if owners arent investing, or dont think its important. the place used to sparkle. the rooms look tired as does all the wood finishes. had to call about a stopped up sink....thats "hotel "101"! the price to stay here in not cheap, so i expected more. i will probably not return to this hotel on a future visit. i would tell others to stay if location is important...but otherwise, shop around.
Location. Close to china town, union square and walkable to the ferry.
Issues to check out a day early to leave transferred around. Not a 5 star feel. So overpriced for what you get.
great location and service
air condition system
The food at the restaurant was very good.
The friendliness of the staff
The high price for internet! And what I found impertinent was, that you had to pay for each device extra, so when using laptop and mobile phone you had to pay for each! In addition the wifi was so bad, that I had change to cable/LAN- and had to pay once more
No free wifi
The dining experience was above average, slightly above upscale.... The Internet speed. The food overall. The room ambiance. The people on the other end of the phone. Room Service. $30 cookies were deelish.
The gentleman Hotel Manager on Saturday evening I had an issue with..... I was in a rush checking out and Valet brought my car 20-30 minutes late..
Location is good. Walking to shopping district. Concierge and door man are good and helpful.
Don't stay on 16th and 17th floor. The sound of the lift machine and cables will not let you sleep. Also reception when requested to change room, they asked me to sit in the lobby and spend the night.. Had to call them three times and took one hour to arrange the room. And not once did they apologise for our discomfort. This hotel is not a true Taj. It's basically ruining the name of taj and India.
The old fashion service, turn down bed service, all the little amenities in the room, the breakfast (you had gluten-free toast!). I will stay here again in the spring for the annual dermatology meeting.
Great locatiom, close to main department stores and within walking distance of ferry terminal.
We Loved the Hotel. The concierge Perri was so helpful and lovely. The front desk was wonderful! It was a fabulous trip. The bed linens were so soft and a pleasure to sleep on at the end of long, fun days in SF.
A very well run hotel with a professional staff. The facilities are not exactly that of a luxury hotel but the rooms are well furnished.
The rooms on the lower floors are quite dark.
Basic business class hotel. Bathrobes were exceptionally nice. Enjoyed the breakfast service.
Understaffed check-in desk. At time of out check out there was only one person handling both check in and check outs on a rather busy Saturday morning. Management should know better and save cost elsewhere than on personel risking damaging customer experience which certainly was the case with us. Maybe a small nuisance for some I found it unacceptable to wait half hour to settle the final bill (and make several corrections on it once presented)
5 star hotel that still charges wifi per device.

The Sneaky Tip That Helped Me Survive Freshman Year!
Stressed about starting college in the fall? Don't be! Use these tips from readers who have been there to dominate your freshman year!
By Macey Hall
Take Advantage Of Free Food
"College is expensive, but luckily for students, there is usually free food on campus—you just have to try hard enough to find it. Many clubs and organizations will offer free food at meetings and events to attract a bigger audience. I got so many free meals last semester for sitting through things like tax forums, debates, and guest speakers. And think out of the box! There is always free food to celebrate things like National Picnic Day, Pi Day, and Finals Week!" —Freshman 15 Brenda

Greasy Luck! The Whaling World of the Charles W. Morgan
In celebration of the relaunching of the last surviving wooden whaleship, Lyman Allyn presents Greasy Luck! The Whaling World of the Charles W. Morgan.
The exhibition, which runs from September 21 through June 8, 2014, will look at how whaling—its myths and reality, risk and reward—left its mark on Connecticut and American identity.
In the 1800s, friends and family gathered on the docks to wish "greasy luck" for a successful voyage to departing whaleships.
To most people, whales were mysterious creatures. Yet whaling was big business.
The thousands of barrels of oil the whalers brought home made ports like New London and Mystic some of the wealthiest places in the young nation, supporting a wide array of dockside occupations.
New Exhibit: The Pinedale Collection; 10th-13th Century Ceramic Arts from our American Southwest
New Works by Graduate Student Composers
Graduate students at Wesleyan University present their final works for the semester to be performed by the cutting edge ensemble loadbang.
Cara Vickers-Kane: "Parlor Tricks" @ Middlesex Community College
Reception on Thursday, November 7th, 6:00-7:30 pm.
The experiential nature of Cara Vickers-Kane's photographs provokes viewers to actively see, be seen by and engage with the depicted subjects.
Vickers-Kane's Parlor Tricks series consist of paired models that initially appear seated on a vintage sofa. Closer inspection reveals that these subjects are actually seated on stools positioned in front of a photographic backdrop that includes the sofa image.
A visible seam in the center of the background photograph further announces this intentional play of illusionism. Although these are color photographs, a black and white background and subdued garment values further separate the posed models from the artifice of their environment.
The staged nature of studio photography is a key subject in Vickers-Kane's work where 19th century gazes, props and posturing play off of clearly contemporary portrayals of the human body in nuanced social interactions.
Vickers-Kane describes her photographs as explorations of the "complexities between representation and presentation, observation and interaction, reciprocation and disconnect."Cara Vickers-Kane has exhibited through the United States and internationally.
She earned a Bachelors of Arts in Women's Studies from The Ohio State University and a Bachelors of Fine Arts in Photography from Wright State University. She also holds a Masters of Fine Arts in Photography from the University of Connecticut.

Franklin to negotiate terms of West St. Martins Road repair, ownership with Milwaukee County
Franklin — Although the Common Council is interested in taking ownership of West St. Martins Road from Milwaukee County, city officials want to negotiate terms of the agreement first.
The county-owned road, which stretches from South North Cape Road to South Lovers Lane, is in poor condition. The 1.7-mile segment of West St. Martins Road is composed of century-old pavement, resulting in extensive cracking.
Milwaukee County has offered to pay for complete reconstruction of West St. Martins as long as the city of Franklin takes ownership of the road after the project.
The Common Council discussed the proposed "jurisdictional transfer" of the road during a meeting on Dec. 16. And although the council agreed the road needed to be rebuilt, aldermen were hesitant about what the reconstruction project may require, such as sidewalks and wider shoulders.
The council unanimously approved the jurisdictional transfer, but listed several conditions for the arrangement in a resolution.» Read Full Article
Developers propose three apartment projects in Cudahy
Three separate apartment development proposals are pending before city officials in Cudahy, it was announced Thursday.
One proposal calls for a 60-unit, five-story building on the site of the former Nativity of the Lord Parish and School at 3767 E. Underwood Ave.
Michael Lerner, of Development Consulting Services Inc., wants to build a mix of one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments, along with underground parking. Lerner would demolish the long-vacant church and school to clear the site for the project, Mayor John Hohenfeldt said.
A public hearing on rezoning the site to accommodate Lerner's $8.4 million proposal is scheduled for Dec. 16 before the Common Council, Hohenfeldt said.
Also, CommonBond Communities Inc. is proposing a 48-unit, three-story building, with one- to three-bedroom units, and 12 two-story town houses on the site of a city Department of Public Works facility, 3555 E. Pabst Ave., which would be razed.» Read Full Article

DuPont and EPEC spent $18 million on the cleanup work.» Read Full Article
Oak Creek accepts ownership of former EPEC, Du Pont lakefront land
Oak Creek — The city accepted ownership of 98 acres of lakefront, known as Lake Vista, from E.I. Du Pont de Nemours and EPEC Polymers, Inc. as of Friday, Dec. 5.
The transfer of these properties took place at no cost to the city and is the result of a six year process to remediate the lakefront for redevelopment.
The two chemical manufacturers inhabited the properties in the 1920s and 1930s. Since closing, the city has worked in partnership with EPEC, Du Pont, the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources and the Environmental Protection Agency to rid the land of contaminants.
Both EPEC and Du Pont spent $18 million to conduct the environmental investigation and implement the remediation plan, which included a 2-foot clay cap over a majority of the site.
"2015 marks Oak Creek's 60th year as a city, and I can't think of a better way to celebrate this moment in our history than by reclaiming the city's lakefront and making these lands accessible to the public for the very first time," said Mayor Steve Scaffidi.» Read Full Article
Menomonee Falls boys get defensive in beating Franklin, 48-30
The Menomonee Falls boys basketball team was coming off a flat effort against Watertown last Friday while Franklin was coming off an emotional high after beating 2014 state tourney qualifier Greendale the same night.
The Indians visited the Sabers Tuesday night, and the teams traded places, as Falls used a stifling defense and picked up 27 points in transition to overpower its hosts, 48-30.
"We scored only four points a quarter a couple of times last Friday and that was just not going to get it done," said Falls coach Ben Farley, "so we focused on nailing things down and executing better. We had missed so many shots (against Watertown) so we focused on finishing with confidence."
Meanwhile, Franklin coach Tim Hogan wondered where his team's energy from the other night was.
"We played so hard against Greendale (a one point win)," he said. "I just wish we had displayed a little more of that energy topnight, because there were many moments tonight where we just got outhustlled."» Read Full Article
Homeward bound: Victory of the Lamb, Kayla's Krew move closer to making new facilities a reality
Victory of the Lamb, the Christian worship service that began as an eight-member Bible study in 2006, will finally have its own place to call home.Franklin —
Victory of the Lamb has been a relatively mobile worship group for the past eight years, moving from a residential home to the Polonia Youth Soccer Club and, finally, to the Showtime Cinema at 8910 S. 102nd St.
Worship services are held in one of the theater's spare screening rooms on Sunday mornings, which has worked out relatively well for the congregation — now at about 250 members — the past few years, said the Rev. Ben Kuerth, pastor of the church.
"We've been really blessed to have been at Showtime Cinema for so long," Kuerth said. "The theaters provide a comfortable, neutral environment for Victory of the Lamb … but we've been feeling full there for the last two years, and we're kind of limited to time and space for our services."
To accommodate the growing membership, Victory of the Lamb now hopes to have its own facility constructed and operational by next winter.» Read Full Article

No new Chapter 220 seats identified in OCFSD for 2015-16
Oak Creek — Seventeen open enrollment seats have been identified for the 2015-16 school year in the Oak Creek-Franklin Joint School District, but no new Chapter 220 seats were identified for the first time, possibly ever, according to the school board on Monday, Dec. 1.
While OCFSD does currently enroll Chapter 220 students, Superintendent Sara Burmeister said "I think Chapter 220 is just kind of fading away. It's moving toward open enrollment," she said Monday.
Chapter 220 was created as a voluntary public school integration program in the United States about 40 years ago. One of its goals was to promote cultural and racial integration in education on a voluntary basis without cost to local taxpayers.
Open enrollment was approved by legislature in 1998 to allow parents to enroll their children in any public school district in Wisconsin outside of their resident district.
Chapter 220 is a higher form of funding than open enrollment in the OCFSD district, said Burmeister.» Read Full Article
