For many of those who had historically supported welfare programs in the broadest sense, it was perfectly reasonable to enact legislation in which poor people were the objects of efforts to assist them.Barney Frank
If the president is failing to disclose material facts with regard to legislation being presented to the Congress on a question as important as war and peace, I think it does impair the level of trust that the House and the Senate have for this administration.John Dingell

The Price for Ad Spots at Sporting Events Is Too Damn High! Is This a PR Opportunity?
Each year, many (many, many) stories are written about the skyrocketing prices for advertising during the Super Bowl, March Madness, World Series, on a NASCAR hot rod and on and on the list goes. As valuable as these captive audiences are, it looks like the folks selling this ad space may be taking the price tags a bit too far. Marketers "warn a 'day of reckoning' is coming when Madison Avenue will just say 'No' to hyper-expensive sports programming." Oh snap.
Panelists speaking at the 2014 IMG World Congress of Sports caution that the high costs for running an ad during these events is eating away at more and more of their budgets. As a result, marketers are seriously considering finding other, more economical ways to reach audiences. Seriously. They're not even joking!
That's where you come in, public relations.

The Big Five
LuFisto's tour of Japan and match against Ken Ohka for Union Pro Wrestling on February 3 never took place. Instead, our choice for Woman of the Year 2010 was sent straight back to Montreal after being denied entry to Japan by customs officials.
Details made their way online thanks to a friend of hers relaying the story to the Wrestling Observer, but at the end of last week, we were given a first person account of what happened from the Super Hardcore Anime herself.
She points out that she was told by Union that she didn't need a working visa so flew out on that advice, only to be stopped by Immigration, who were apparently waiting for her with a dossier about her. Without the correct documents, she wasn't allowed into the country and was sent back home.
Since then, Union have contacted her to apologise for the confusion.
It's not all bad news for the NCW: Femmes Fatales International Champion though: she's been voted the #1 woman indy wrestler in Quebec for the 8th time in 9 years, and #3 in the top 50 indy wrestlers, regardless of gender – her highest position ever.
Tamina v Melina on last week's WWE Superstars was described by those who were in attendance as being utterly awful, Melina was cheered even though she was a heel, and Tamina looked pea green. Two of those were right on the money – which the match wasn't the worst thing ever (though that could be down to WWE's reknowned great editing and a lot of audible sound sweetening), it was bloody poor, had numerous blown spots (the slingshot into the corner by Tamina on Melina was laughable), was far too long for Tamina's skill level and Melina did nothing to help her out.
A poor match involving a rookie like Tamina – who has only been wrestling for around a year – and a veteran like Melina – who's been wrestling on and off for 9 years and has been a full time grappler for the last 5 – will inevitably see fingers pointed at the veteran for not being able to carry their opponent. If this was a test to see if Melina can work heel effectively against a weaker talent, she failed.
One criticism of Melina's work in the past – including from former WWE employee Maria Kanellis – is that Melina would rather get her moves in than have them make sense. This match (or her entrance in this case) lends some credence to that, as even though she's taken some of her awkward offence out of her arsenal now that she's a heel, she still does the splits when she enters the ring, which pops the crowd. It's the Diva equivalent of shouting "I've got two words for ya" on the microphone – face or heel, you know what response is coming.
On a more positive note for WWE Divas, Kelly Kelly had a career night on SmackDown last Friday. Not only did she show fire and spirit like we've never seen before during the opening segment promo with Vickie Guerrero and Dolph Ziggler, she also wrestled the bulk of the main event 3 on 2 handicap match with her and Edge defending the latter's World Heavyweight Title against Ziggler and LayCool, but she also got the pin on Layla, ostensibly successfully defending the World Heavyweight crown.
True, she's not the most polished wrestler in the world. True, it's taken a long time to get to the point that she's not just secondary fluff to the main feuds. And true, it's just one show – but SmackDown showed that given the time, build-up and motivation, Kelly is someone who WWE could bank on to be involved further up the card in the future. It seems like she's really starting to get "it".
It's looking a little clearer as to how Amazing Kong will debut in WWE, and it should lead to some great matches. And the reason we know they will be great matches is because we've seen them before – but in this case, that's not a bad thing.
What is looking more and more likely is that Kong will be brought in as the hired muscle for the Bella Twins for them to get revenge on Gail Kim for 'stealing' their potential boyfriend, Daniel Bryan. Now while this doesn't help the US Champion in any way, and probably won't be that much for a benefit for the Bella Twins either – we get the prospect of seeing Gail Kim v Amazing Kong in WWE. If it's even half as good as some of the matches they had in TNA, it will be a kabillion times better than the usual Divas fare we get from week to week.
SHIMMER's tag team division's swelling ahead of the DVD tapings of volumes 37-40 on the weekend of March 26-27 in Berwyn, IL. We mentioned the upcoming arrival of the mother and daughter combination of Britani Knight and Sweet Saraya who are reportedly gunning for the Canadian Ninjas' Tag Team Championships, as well as 3S teammates Hiroyo Matsumoto and Misaki Ohata officially uniting in SHIMMER, but the latest announcement by the promotion makes things just that little bit more interesting.
Nikki Roxx and Ariel are in for March 26-27, so their tag team of Pretty Bitchin' are joining the hunt for the gold, as is Allison Danger, who has an as-yet unnamed tag team partner ready to go too. Add Rachel and Jessica's Excellent Tag Team to the mix, and you're looking at the most tag team heavy tapings since the Tag Team Championship Gauntlet weekend of volumes 21 and 22, where Ashley Lane and Nevaeh won the belts in SHIMMER's longest match to date.
General admission tickets are still for sale. Come – if only for the magic of the afterparty.
The best of the rest
New TNA signing Divina Fly's been repackaged as Rosita, the cousin of Sarita. She'll make her debut on Thursday… Former SHIMMER talent Rayna Von Tosh is now part of a trio called American Bombshells, who perform for US troops. She's also rumoured to be getting a TNA tryout… Former WWE Intercontinental and Women's Champion Joanie "Chyna" Laurer is training to become an English teacher in Japan… If you've not seen it yet, check out Sara Del Rey on Video Des Kreuzes every Wednesday on the CHIKARAoffice YouTube channel… Congratulations to Britani Knight, who won the GSW women's title from Blue Nikita during her most recent trip to Germany… Ayumi Kurihara and Tomoka Nakagawa have been added to the SHIMMER lineup for March 26-27… Matt Hardy has reportedly been pushing TNA to sign Amy "Lita" Dumas… Mickie James will challenge Madison Rayne for the TNA Knockouts Title in a Last Knockout Standing match at Against All Odds… Shelly Martinez posted a YouTube video saying she was "breaking up" with wrestling… Add Mia Yim to the participants in the 3rd Annual ACW American Joshi Queen of Queens tournament… Aksana is the new Queen of FCW after beating Rosa Mendes… Vickie Guerrero will appear at the FCW shows this weekend in Gainesville , FL and Punta Gorda , FL… Looks like TNA haven't learned from shelling out a reported $15k on Jersey Shore's JWoww for one appearance which didn't move ratings or spike mainstream media attention. They're apparently in talks to have Angelina Pivarnick from the show in a pay-per-view match. Yes – they want you to pay MONEY to see that… Shaul Guerrero is Eddie and Vickie's daughter. So in someone's infinite wisdom, she's been repackaged in FCW as Raquel Diaz… LuFisto's still getting receipts from those deathmatches she took part in – her boyfriend pulled a 4 year old shard of glass out of her back this week.

When it comes to firearms there's no name more recognizable than Colt. No other brand of firearms has had such a significant impact on both history and the development of modern firearms. There's a popular post-Civil War saying: 'Abe Lincoln may have freed all men, but Sam Colt made them equal.' It was the invention of the revolver in 1836 that brought fame and fortune to industrialist and inventor Samuel Colt. However, his impact on history goes far beyond the revolver. Here we'll look at how Samuel Colt and the revolver made men equal and forever changed the world.
The Beginning
Samuel Colt's legacy starts with a patent for a revolving barrel firearm in 1836. The idea is said to have come to him while working as a seaman where he carved out a prototype model from wood. The same year, 1836, he opened the first factory in New Jersey at the age of 22 with the help of a prominent businessman family member. Initially, despite good performance, sales were sluggish and didn't really pick up until the 1850's. In 1851 Samuel Colt became the first American to open up a factory in England and extend his reach into an international market. Furthermore, he adopted a number of England's precision machinery tools to help perfect and create perfectly uniform firearms heralded for their reliability.
War and the American West
For anyone in the firearm business war will always bring business. Already a prominent and successful businessman the Civil War in the mid 19th century continued to boost his sales despite his waning health. Samuel Colt is reported to have sold to both sides until war was actually declared at which time he only supplied Union forces. After his death in 1862, at the age of 47, control of the company went to Mrs. Elizabeth Colt and her family. This proved to be no hamper to the continual growth of Sam Colt's business as it seemed to flourish in the coming decades to ultimately reach the iconic symbol of the American West. Personal firearms and pistols became the law in the lawless west and Sam Colt's company was at the forefront with a strong reputation and a capability of mass producing well crafted firearms.
Modern Colt Firearms
Colt continues to this day to make firearms and has a history of supplying American forces with weapons for every major war during the 20th century. The Colt company is even responsible for for the M15 (though they didn't invent the AR15 it is based on) which has become synonymous with modern warfare and especially the war in Vietnam. Though there have been some financial problems in the later part of the company's history they are still manufacturing quality firearms to this day and still might even be in the process of changing the future of the world.

Dear OncoLink "Ask The Experts,"
How can I find clinical trials for my dog who has been diagnosed with cancer?
Lili Duda, VMD, Section Editor of the OncoLink Veterinary Oncology Menu, responds:
That's a good question. Clinical trials can give you access to new therapies and help those animals who are diagnosed in the future - including humans, as some therapies are used in humans as well. The Veterinary Cancer Society keeps a list of trials.
Dec 22, 2014 - The benefits of referring women for immediate colposcopy or aggressive treatment instead of cytological surveillance following detection of low-grade cervical abnormalities may not outweigh the risks of overtreatment, according to three related studies from the Trial Of Management of Borderline and Other Low-grade Abnormal smears (TOMBOLA) published online on July 28 in BMJ.

I have always felt delighted that people "award" various banners as a way of saying I like your blog/posts/content etc, and in the past I have usually (often) linked it in to Kiva.

The award is about networking, saying I like these blogs just like a roll call, but without all the linking back, although that said, I have come across some great blogs because of the linking back. My next post relating to awards is in relation to the team Readership Award will be up next week.Julie @ Anglers Resthttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-2829865112341726995.post-639543552774811012013-01-12T11:21:07.437+11:002013-01-12T11:21:07.437+11:00Thanks for this link and story Aillin.

My goal originally was simply to acknowledge a handful of the bloggers who particularly touched me in 2012. My xoncerns were about slighting my other favourites.

As I've mentioned I have a dedicated page on my blog where I link to the blogs I follow, though it's probably due for an update. Rather than issuing awards perhaps we should just donperiod posts reminding readers the list is there. Cassmob (Pauleen)http://firstname.lastname@example.com

If something has seemed off about this season of Homeland, there's a good reason for it: That's exactly what the writers wanted!Homeland postmortem: Brody's Back — but for how long?
"I was an amateur magician when I was a kid, and my favorite magic trick was always the one in which the magician convinces the audience that he's made a mistake," executive producer Alex Gansa tells TVGuide.com. That's what we were going for this season. [We wanted the audience thinking,] 'How are they going to dig themselves out of this hole? ... They're killing the series right in front our eyes!'

It's solo time on American Idol, and thank goodness after that mostly disastrous group round.
One hundred contestants are left, stewing over their fate in a holding room, while the judges deliberate. They haven't been moved into those rooms where they're cut en masse because...it's time to rewind to the beginning of the day! Ryan Seacrest explains that, per usual, contestants will take the stage alone with an option of being backed by the band, being accompanied by their own instrument or singing a cappella.
How'd they do? Let's get down to business:
What a week for fans of crime dramas that try to raise the bar. Two winners premiering this week are set in USA's midsection — one rural, one urban (which I'm thinking you might have heard about on Super Bowl Sunday) — and they're so good it makes you wonder why Law & Order never took its act to the heartland.Want more Matt Roush?

true story
A four-year senior from Hancock, New Hampshire, Will Callif came to New Hampton School determined to make the most of his experience and broaden his global perspective. The beginning of his junior year coincided with the first year of the International Baccalaureate Diploma Program at NHS, and Will has emerged as a more thoughtful student because of his experience.
Why did you pursue the IB Program?
Why not?' I've been given an opportunity to take a class that is so much about global citizenship, which is part of our school mission. It's above and beyond and AP class because you're driven to teach yourself and that's what you're going to have to do in college your freshman year. Professors don't hold your hands. Before the IB I was someone who would look at the notes I got in class and learn them, but now I'm someone who creates his own notes—things I find interesting—and then I apply them. I've taught myself to learn in way that fits me and best prepares me for college.
What is your favorite IB Class?
IB Biology. I get to design labs like a real scientist would. It's evolution all the way to molecular biology, so I have a chance to see the whole field. And it's something I'm thinking about pursuing in college. I think it's great preparation.
Who is a Teacher who has had a huge impact on you here?
Mr. Redman was so enthralled in the subject of English and so passionate about it, so it rubbed off on me. Coming out of middle school into Freshmen English Honors, we jumped into the
, which is a pretty heavy read for your freshman year. We read the whole thing. And we read a lot of Shakespeare. It was something new to me and different from a public middle school in Southern New Hampshire where I had never heard of the
before. I never thought of myself as a writer or loving to write, but I've learned to love writing essays for my English classes.
What are your goals for senior year?
I want to work as hard as possible and feel like I've taken advantage of the opportunity I've been given to come to New Hampton School. I want to try as many new things as possible. I'm going to try running cross country next year and I'm thinking about doing a play.

"Colleges respect the way students are asked to think in new integrative ways, utilizing the inquiry-based, interdisciplinary nature of IB courses.
Colleges really want more students applying from the

But the New Hampton School of today also offers something more—namely, skill-based, applied, experiential, and service learning opportunities that will help prepare students for a rapidly changing world. With the use of technology in and outside of the classroom, New Hampton School strives to empower students and faculty to think about learning in different ways.

"I strongly believe that I would not have a Division I college basketball scholarship without going to New Hampton. My coaches have promoted me and helped me get my name out there. The resources I have at New Hampton with the gym, workout room, and coaches are unreal, and living away from home is something I'm used to now. Also, I know how to balance a hard academic schedule and a hard basketball workload. I feel like I have gotten the hang of it by going to New Hampton."

Rated 3.1 out of 5 by 738 reviewers.
Rated 2 out of 5 by Rennie Room needs an overhaul The room I stayed in was very tired and needed a refurbishment and overhaul. The bathroom looked like it was something straight out of the 50's. The free standing airconditioning unit also cheapened the experience. October 7, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by LAGal Great customer service I got myself in a pickle and the front desk manager Kia was fantastic. She went beyond the call of duty to help me and for that this hotel has my loyalty. Overall, this is a wonderful place to stay while in London. June 21, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by FTL2k Great experience I'm a regular at Sheraton Park Lane (over 20 stays so far) and I've decided to write a review that would summarize my experiences here. As mentioned in many reviews here it is true that the hotel is in a perfect location - just few minutes walk from Picadilly Circus, Westminster, Hyde Park, Oxford Street etc. It is placed in an almost 100-year old building, which has both advantages and drawbacks. It is great if you want to experience the old-school London, because all the interiors and rooms in the hotel are arranged to match the 1920's style which makes it pretty unique. On the drawback side - it probably affects things such as heating / air conditioning effectiveness and sound-proofing of the rooms (some of which can get a bit noisy, especially when close to elevator shafts). That said, I have to admit that I've never had any issue if I've found a room not suiting my needs and asked the reception staff to change it. Overall I've had a great experience staying there, with good facilities, attentive and helpful staff (especially front desk) and very good Platinum recognition. April 26, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by unhappyinLondon Not worthy of SPG BRand I foolishly asked my travel agent to book a nice SPG hotel in London without looking at any reviews or details. When I arrived I thought the lobby looked dated and in need of a update. The room was even worse. There was nothing overtly wrong but very worn down and dated i.e from the 80's. I spent five minutes in the room and went back to the front desk to ask for a more up to date room. I was told that all the rooms were that way. I had my travel agent book another hotel and left. I was very disappointed that they did charge me for one night. I am going to be very reluctant to book at a Sheraton again. March 30, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Makeuptiffy Perfect location and feels like London should The hotel is charming and beautiful. It's close to everything but not crowded or over stimulating. I loved it. I would and will go back as soon as possible! November 22, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by Ronitli22 Not 5***** not even 4**** Shabby, old and far, no internet for free. Checkin was too long, although very friendly. No coffee or tea availability in the room Will not recommend it, December 11, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by OMJ59 Great location, great hotel. I was a bit concerned reading previous reviews of the hotel. The concern was completely uncalled for as the hotel and our rooms were excellent. The hotel is an older hotel and the rooms have the flavor of the era in which it was constructed, with many modern updates. The location was fantastic as we were walking distance from the Green Park underground station which connects one anywhere in London. Buckingham Palace was a short (5 minute) walk through Green Park, and we were fortunate to be in London for the birth of Prince George Alexander Louis. Needless to say, being so close to the palace was a plus. The shops of Oxford Street and Bond street were also a short 5 minute walk, as well as Piccadilly Square and Trafalgar Square-10 minutes away. Harrods was also a quick 10 minute walk. Everything was basically at our doorstep. The staff was extremely attentive to our needs, and Stuart at the concierge desk assisted us in a number of tours during our stay and is to be commended for his efforts. To sum up, my family and I were very pleased with our stay and look forward to staying at the Sheraton Park Lane when we next visit London. July 29, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by Lupin52 Could do better We were impressed by the location - a good central position. We liked: positive check-in experience warm room clean room very comfortable bed efficient check-out we didn't like the aged decor and furniture ( we had 2 large tables in our small room) the large air-conditioning unit taking up even more space no complimentary water in the room expensive wi-fi charges no tea and coffee-making equipment in the room breakfast hot buffet - leathery bacon, pale sausages, tasteless mushrooms and soggy hash browns and why doesn't the hotel have an egg chef? We had a good weekend but aren't sure that we would choose to stay in the Park Lane Hotel again unless improvements are made. January 25, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by ErickWa Great stay at the Park Lane London Ideal location in central London and on the Tube from Heathrow, great prices, wonderful service - will definitely visit again November 14, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by salah Great location need renovation Excellent location needs heavy renovation needs better ventilation Great staff, very helpful October 8, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by Juan Well located and nice staff This hotel is one of my favourites when travelling for doing business in the area October 4, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by PWR2013 Great Hotel - Except if you are SPG Platinum I keep coming back to this hotel, as I love the location / neighborhood, bar and restaurant, and generally the hotel itself. However, I'm going to have to find another Starwood hotel in London, as I've reached my limit with the "selective" upgrade policy at the hotel. Every time that I've checked in, I've had issues with them being able to find anything but a standard room. I understand this can happen and don't expect an upgrade at every check-in, but this has never gone smoothly here. They have claimed that my Platinum number wasn't listed ("sorry, we would have saved you a room"), they have been oversold, all the upgraded rooms were being cleaned/renovated, etc... In this case, as has almost always been the case, after a couple attempts at giving me a standard room, the manager was able to "switch some bookings around" to find something. Again, I don't expect to be upgraded every time (or even most of the time). But this is the ONLY hotel around the world where it seems the focus is on trying to prevent an upgrade from happening and they will only provide to you if you really insist. Not switching from SPG and in fact have converted most of my fellow travelers in our company. But can't recommend this hotel anymore. February 8, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by PinEdmonton Heart of London My wife and I enjoyed our recent stay here for our anniversary. The location of the hotel cannot be beat and we walked to Buckingham Palace, Westminster, Leistcer Square, Piccadilly, Regent Str. etc all within minutes. The Hotel has an old world charm - updated. The floors and elevators lovingly creak a little and there are other quirks but these add to the charm of staying in the center of London and made the hotel memorable. The room was clean and comfortable. The bathroom was big and the fixtures were all updated. The breakfast buffet was very good with fresh fruit, bread, cheese, hot items and soy milk for me. I went early, worked and stayed late and the staff was always attentive. August 25, 2012
Rated 2 out of 5 by Const Our one night stay in Park Lane Hotel Staff very friendly and helpful...can't fault them but I would say, generally, there's a sense of 'meanness' about the whole experience at this hotel. The humblest bed and breakfast would offer a free bottle of water in your room and maybe a couple of biscuits for your tea? Your three teabags.... The kettle lead is so short you have to find a place where the lead will reach the socket... The hotel is clean and quiet but it's the details that are important, the sense you are valued for that is missing. Many people go there on a one night city break, often a special treat, and this hotel does not leave you feeling very treated.... And microwaved scrambled eggs!...and the cold breakfast.... February 4, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by Flyingtailor Love Hate Sometimes this hotel can do no wrong but sometimes they can really screw it up. I either love this hotel or really dislike this hotel. This time somewhere in the middle. Got there at 2 30pm room not ready the front desk very seldom recognizes the Platinum status. Didn't offer coffee or drink there is no sympathy just go wait come back at 3pm that's check in. You can understand my frustration arrived in London at 6 am. March 12, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by Travel2013 The Green Initiative I agree with not replacing towels everyday. Most of us don't need that, and it's nice to have to option to keep the hotel and think we are doing something good for the planet. But even after we read the flyer twice, we didn't realize that by going green, no staff would enter our room....not to make the bed, not to get rid of the trash. That experience took away our enjoyment of the beautiful room, as we would have had to take our own trash out in order to keep our towels for the day. It made us feel like they used people's environmental awareness to cut back on the most basic service of a hotel. April 30, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by KaiOrlando MAJOR Disappointment I had known of the Park Lane Hotel in London long before it became part of the Sheraton Brand. Due to this name recognition I was eager to stay there. The property is certainly well maintained and has retained its elegance. The biggest disappointment was the staff. They were never rude or discourteous. However, they were certainly not cordial, welcoming, engaging or guest-service oriented. I found it almost appalling the numeber of staff I encountered who had such an incredibly low level of English. The worst was when checking out I asked a housekeeper if she had a bottle of water on her cart. After a minute of using all means of communications [including charades and body language] I gave up. She had NO clue! I found it also remarkable that every time we passed by the concierge when entering / exiting the hotel there was NEVER a hint of a smile, greeting or acknowledgement of our presence. Again, hardly a welcoming staff and atmosphere. In fairness, there was one shining star... Davide [from Portugal] at the front desk the morning of checkout. A pleasant surprise and exception to what we'd experienced up until that point. [Suggestion: Have the two bartenders (evening shift 11/15) work a couple of shifts at the Front Desk along side Davide. Perhaps his smile, personality and desire for excellence in customer service might infect and inspire them. One can only hope!!] November 19, 2012
Rated 2 out of 5 by LondonNov11 Disappointed Although the front desk staff said it was an executive room with a renovated bath, it looked nothing like the advertised photos. Ibrought this up with the desk staff and was asked what I expected the room to be, like your photos perhaps? Took a few photos of the leaning floor lamp and soot covered bathroom windows, also the pealing varnish on the tub surround. The concierge staff was great in finding places to go and directions so we were out and about most of the day. It's time to renovate and make this hotel great again. The location is excellent just need to make the rooms match. November 29, 2011
Rated 2 out of 5 by James0303 The only decent thing is the location ... Ok, I will agree with all the tourist that it is well situated for tourism in downtown London, after that, I have nothing much more to say. As a person that spends half my year in a hotel and travels internationally non-stop, I am accustomed to hotels working with their priority customers to assist for those frequent early morning flight arrivals that don't fit with the hotels normal 2PM check-in times. Also, as a Platinum member of SPG, I also was under the assumption that a hotel would do what was possible to accommodate early check-ins, or so it is publicized. The answer I got back when requesting an early checking was that I was not able to get one, but they did have another room that they would rent me for a couple of hours while waiting on my room for the small fee of $560 US. I couldn't really believe they would even say such a thing. I asked if they had a gym or spa with a shower and that is a negative as well. The gym is little more than a sweat room 2 floors down with a couple of tread mills and cycles and a few weights. I have a pile of suite upgrades that I seldom get the opportunity to use so I threw a few down for this thinking that since I was spending such a pretty penny on the room, an upgraded suite must be awesome. Wrong again, the room was spacious for UK standards I supposed, but not what I would call comfortable. The only windows were narrow and stared down a long valley of rooms that could all look back in on you. You definitely kept the draps pilled so every other customer on the hotel was not looking back in on you. The carpet looks to be from about world war two … I guess that gives it character, but for the price I pay, I don't want old stains all over the floors and creeky wood floors underfoot. Lastly, the room amenities were nonexistent. The $560 a night room doesn't even come with a bottle of water. I had to request iron and board and since I called before 7am, it took a while since the house keeping people don't show up until then. I guess Londoners don't go to work that early like business traveler. June 18, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by elim Noisy room We have just stayed five nights at this hotel on points, We paid extra points to upgrade to a suite. The room was large and quite nice, but it was next to the elevator and we heard constant noise. Also, we faced a wall and had no view. I don't consider this to be an upgrade. We didn't notice the noise until after we unpacked, so didn't complain. I did want to ensure we were getting a nice room at check in, but was told that we would have to pay extra to get a better suite. I'm disappointed.. Would rather have saved the points and gotten a quieter room with better view. July 19, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Jdog Great Stay The room was clean. The water was hot. The staff was helpful and always polite. The concierge gave us the info that we required. We spent a week in London. All we did was sleep and shower in the hotel. It served our purposes and we were happy. We did not eat or drink there, choosing the less expensive restaurants and pubs in London. Rooms are smaller in London so don't expect things to be like the States. The only issue I have is that there was a ridiculous charge for Wi-fi. This is not isolated to this hotel but a general practice throughout the London. October 24, 2012
Rated 3 out of 5 by NicolaC over priced We got a supposedly cheap rate via a booking agency and looked forward to our stay. The staff were lovely on arrival but when we got to our room we were seriously disappointed. The room was so dark that on one of the sunniest days of the year we had to put lights on to see properly. The room overlooked a near building and we couldn't open the window. No tea/coffee in the room and the bathroom was like something out of the 70s! We paid £99 but were told the rate was over £200. I was disappointed with the room For the price we paid imagine those who pay the rack rate! The staff were fantastic which helped a little. We stay in London regularly usually with another large world renowned brand and won't rush back to the Sheraton sadly. July 28, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by Phlopy Rooms don't live up to expectation Location is excellent , central for sites and shopping. Staff that I met where both nice and helpful. Public areas where what I expected for a hotel of this level , however the room myself and my wife had was without doubt the worst London hotel room we have ever had. Room was small and not very clean. Carpet was starting to fray . A.C. was a noisy freestanding unit which just didn't do the job. No tea & coffee making facilities . Broken tiles in bathroom on both walls and floor and what looks a painted bath tub. Not sure the postcode is worth the cost. December 17, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by WSMS another dissat stay at Sheraton Park Lane This hotel needs a serious renovation and the staff needs training on how to deal with the most loyal customers to the SPG brand. After a long intercontinental flight and trying to check in at around 1:00 in the afternoon, the front desk staff tells me the upgrade room is not available until 3:00P.M.... however there is a " small room" available... when I asked if I could use the "small room" room now and then move to the larger room when available, the answer was.... "You need to choose now, we can't change you later" Really, you can't accommodate that for a Platinum member.... I got stuck with the very small room... which by the way, didn't have a properly working plumbing.. Not worth it.... changing brands next time I'm in London. February 12, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by TVtv Below expectations Checkin time was unacceptable! We are Gold SPG members and not able to check in until after almost 5pm and 6pm for two rooms. A complimentary drink voucher was given...after I requested it! The server in bar was very rude when we were ordering drinks! A "special" separate drink menu was presented. Obviously a much cheaper,limited menu.. Come on! A drink should be upon request, not limited to meager rations. Server was abrupt and very discourteous! This was not a pleasant gesture after having to wait for hours to be in room on our upon checkin! July 4, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by petertom3 Always welcome Not often that I stay in London but the staff at the Park Lane Sheraton always remember me and give me great service. November 5, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Visit207 Comfort, style, proximity, elegance, home from home. This is our 4th stay and we consider it home This hotel has wonderful accommodation, friendly staff, authentic architcture and surroundings. It is 2 minutes away from Market square, 10 minutes from the tube, 15 minutes from the theaters. It overlooks a beautiful park, is moments away from the Palace. It is spectacular. My wife and I love it and consider it home from home. We are Westin owners and feel our stay at the hotel give greater flexibly, more luxury and freedom than if we owned a flat and had all of the encumbent responsibilities. We love this hotel and it never lets us down April 16, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Shewho5516 The Park Lane is always like visiting an old friend We have stayed many times at this hotel in London. It's location is absolutely perfect for our needs with Green Park and Hyde Park so close. We love dining in Shepherd's Market and having the convenience of the underground stop at Green Park. The parks are always so beautiful and we just love strolling through them no matter what time of the year we arrive in London. The staff is always wonderful with Richard, the head concierge, absolutely first rate! He can find the hardest tickets in London and the greatest restaurants! He is a true treasure. The buffet breakfast is also wonderful. People come to the Park Lane from all over the world and the restaurant tries very hard to have something available for everyone. The cleaning staff is also very thorough. I wish that the Starwoods organization would see fit to renovate this much deserving hotel. It is at a point where the carpets and a lot of the furniture need updating. It is always exceedingly clean, just old. This is not a problem of the hotel itself but with the Sheridan corporation not doing the proper thing. I much prefer this hotel to LeMeridien or the new W, but some of that has to do with the wonderful history and location of this particular property. It is rather like a beautiful woman that is slightly beyond her prime but you love her anyway despite her flaws! I wouldn't dream of staying anywhere else in London. November 30, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by WilliamCO Great location. Heavy price for average room The location, near Green Park tube station and across from Green Park, is really good. However, fewer choices of moderate priced restaurants within walking distance than expected. The room was quite large for London but had very "bedsit" style furnishing. Bathroom was nice and a good size. Online booking didn't explain 20% VAT very clearly and that surprised me when I arrived. You are paying for location and room size but not for the comfort of the accommodation. SPG status seemed to make little difference - if it did I didn't realize it. November 14, 2012
Rated 1 out of 5 by Jayne1966 Very poor Such a shame - I imagine this hotel was beautiful once but that was a very long time ago now. Considering where the hotel is and the name of the brand, I have never been so disappointed in a hotel as much as this. It is so overdue a refurb its embarassing, in fact shocking.

Four days after scoring a European Champions League-record five times, Lionel Messi's 49th and 50th goals of the season led Barcelona to a 2-0 win at Racing Santander in Spain's Primera Division.
Messi scored five in Barcelona's 7-1 win against Bayer Leverkusen on Wednesday, and his double on Sunday enabled him to reach the 50-goal mark for the second straight season and close to within five of matching Cesar Rodriguez's all-time club record of 235.
The Argentina forward has scored 16 goals in his past six matches for club and country. Messi had 53 goals in 55 matches for his club last season. He already has 50 in 43 matches so far this campaign.
Barcelona' fourth straight victory kept them 10 points behind runaway leaders Real Madrid, but with 12 rounds to play the defending champions' chances of catching their fierce rival are dwindling.Easy victory
Messi broke through Racing's 10-man defence in the 29th minute, and the three-time FIFA World Player of the Year added a penalty in the 56th as Barcelona enjoyed a rare easy win away from Camp Nou.
Barcelona coach Pep Guardiola, however, insisted that his team had been put to the test.
"We had to make a big effort,'' Guardiola said.
"We played well on a pitch that didn't favour passing the ball. They packed in their defence, and that is never easy.''

Sunday March 11
Atletico Madrid 2-0 GranadaEspanyol 5-1 Rayo VallecanoValencia 2-2 MallorcaSantander 0-2 BarcelonaOsasuna v Athletic BilbaoMonday March 12Villarreal v Getafe
Racing coach Alvaro Cervera, who was hired on Friday, could do little but watch as Barcelona kept the relegation-threatened side winless for an eighth straight week.
Cervera made Racing's strategy clear from the start. While some teams have had limited success pressing Barcelona, the former Racing and Spain player opted for his side to sit back and try to resist their opponent's precision passing game.
But the hosts' defensive stance led to zero shots on goal and failed to stop Messi from taking his league goal tally to 30 - two behind Real Madrid forward Cristiano Ronaldo at the top of the list.
"Entering the game 13 points behind (Madrid), we couldn't afford a slip,'' Guardiola said.
"We imagined they could play one way or the other, but we had to come out looking for the win from the first minute.''
In control
Barcelona hardly missed the injured David Villa and Alexis Sanchez, with the trio of Messi, Cesc Fabregas and Andres Iniesta proving to be too much for Racing.
Barcelona dominated possession from the start but needed to get the hang of the uneven turf at El Sardinero stadium before Andres Iniesta hit the crossbar with a delicate chip shot in the 23rd.
The European champions eventually besieged Racing in their own area for Messi to score. He combined with Fabregas, laying off to the midfielder and pushing forward to dive and knock his cross into the net for the sixth goal set up by Fabregas in the league this season.
Racing sent on striker Christian Stuani at half-time but to no effect.
Messi made it 2-0 in the 56th from the penalty spot, coolly stroking the ball into the bottom right corner after Fabregas had been fouled in the area by Racing defender Domingo Cisma.

The Minority Writers Seminar is sponsored by the Association of Opinion Journalists Foundation, in partnership with the Newseum Institute.
The first class of the Minority Writers Seminar
Then-NCEW Foundation trustee Tommy Denton planted the seeds of the Minority Writers Seminar in 1994, suggesting that the Foundation should look at increasing diversity among opinion writers.
At the April 1995 board meeting, president Ed Jones suggested that the Foundation sponsor a program to provide a concentrated period of study for minority journalists in the discipline of editorial writing. The board voted to explore the possibilities of partnering with other organizations to create an annual seminar for experienced minority journalists to encourage them to consider opinion writing as a career.
The seminar found a patron and a home when John Seigenthaler, chair of the First Amendment Center at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, agreed to:
Seigenthaler emphasized that the curriculum would be controlled completely by NCEW Foundation.
The Foundation approved the partnership at its December 1995 board meeting, and the first seminar was held in May 1996.
This arrangement continued until 2003, when the newly created Freedom Forum Diversity Institute at Vanderbilt University became the Foundation's partner. The seminar is held at the John Seigenthaler Center, which houses the Diversity Institute and the First Amendment Center.
Since 1996, more than 200 participants have attended the Minority Writers Seminar.
