Rated 3.3 out of 5 by 498 reviewers.
Rated 1 out of 5 by JDDallas Filthy room and treated pooly I booked my room through Hotwire (apparently a no no when staying at this hotel) as a getaway for me and my spouse. After booking my room I called the Hotel to confirm that I had requested a Deluxe King, I was told that no I was not getting a Deluxe King but rather a Standard King, I was disappointed but figured at least I was getting a King room. We came to Fort Worth to attend the Rodeo and a romantic dinner and evening away from home. Upon arrival to Fort Worth we did not check in to the Hotel until after the Rodeo as the Rodeo began at 2PM. After the Rodeo we went to check in and get ready for our dinner reservation which were at 7PM. Upon check in I was told that I had a Double Queen room… now that, I was not happy about and tried to explain to the young lady that even though I had booked through Hotwire, I had called the hotel itself to confirm my room. I was told by the young lady that there were no King rooms available and again told that because I booked through a 3rd party there was nothing she could do. I am not an unreasonable person and I do not like to cause I scene, I never raised my voice nor was I rude in anyway but I did want to make my point that I was very disappointed. At that time another lady who was checking someone else in reached over to where I was standing at the counter, slapped her hand down on the counter in front of me and practically yelled at me "Sir, you booked through a 3rd party and if you have a complaint you need to contact the third party". My mother raised me not to be aggressive with women in any way… I am a southern gentlemen so I took my room key and we left the counter. When we got to our room we immediately noticed a foul odor in the room. Unfortunately we were running late for our dinner reservations and so we had to rush to get ready and back out of the hotel (my thought being that I was not going to let this ruin the rest of our evening). When we returned after dinner was when things really went downhill. The odor in the room was just the beginning. I did take a few pictures that are attached but unfortunately I only had my phone to take pictures which does not have a flash so this is all I have. The carpet was filthy, so much so that we would not walk barefoot on it. The toilet (as you can see in the picture) had not been cleaned and multiple items were broken. However this is nothing compared to the fact that the room we were placed in should not be a guest room at all but rather used for storage or something. The room is directly off the elevators (I can't help but think we were placed there purpose) and the walls in the hotel are paper thin. We got NO REST at all as we stayed on a Saturday night and the Elevators ran all night. Ding Ding Ding Ding all night, doors open and close none stop, people talking sounded as if they were standing next to my bed and yelling at me. Now I understand that you cannot control the elevator traffic but again, no guest should EVER be placed in that room. It should be taken off of your list of rooms completely. As for the walls being paper thin , I almost expected this from reading past reviews of this property but never did I dream that I would hear from both rooms on either side of us every time a toilet flushed, a shower ran, a TV turned on or someone speaking in a normal voice coming through the walls. I already knew from my experience at check in that calling the front desk to complain would be out of the question.. we suffered through it and check out the very first thing the next morning (not our plan at all, we had brunch reservations but cancelled them) we wanted out of there ASAP. Had I not had drinks at dinner we would have driven back to Dallas that night. Upon check out is when I did voice my complaints and again told that because I booked through a 3rd party there was nothing to be done. The young lady asked me if I was a "Preferred Starwood Guest" ( which was kind of a joke) I told her "no" that I was not so her offer was to make me one and give me some "star points" but that was really all she could do… my thought was ok… this trip was a bust but I will take whatever I can get… Now this is a joke because guess what…. I have gone online and created an account with SPG.com with the number she gave me but do I have any points? NO I do not. Needless to say…. The fun romantic getaway I planned was ruined completely by your hotel and staff February 6, 2012
Rated 1 out of 5 by SPGTraveler12345 This hotel is not SPG standard This hotel isn't great. Probably not good either. The valet staff cannot help you as they are too busy playing games on their phones. The rooms are very dated. Mine had burn marks on it and the leather headboard was worn right through. It needs a lot of work. One of the worst SPG experiences I've had. August 20, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by LY1943 Disappointing Initially assigned a handicapped room where my clothes hung on the ground. Moved to a room that had been stripped but not cleaned. That was day 1. Day 2 I had to hunt down the staff to ask that the room be cleaned at 4:00 PM. Day 3 my daughter left at 5:00 a.m. and left a surprise for me. She spoke with the front desk, gave them her credit card and paid for a massage for me. She called me at noon to see how I enjoyed the service; however no one at the hotel knew anything about it and no one was interested in researching the problem. I missed a massage and my daughter missed surprising me with a special treat. I would not stay here again due to the poor service. February 24, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by Avocat Quite Unsatisfactory-Unless You're a Duck Poorly designed floor in handicapped bathroom allows water to flow throughout bathroom, around toilet and sink, and does not drain. Result is unsafe, unsanitary and unhealthy standing water in the bathroom. Asked for different room; told non available even though website showed availability. Staff response cold and unconcerned. After reserving this in advance, traveling 14 hours, and then having to deal with this, I was not happy. July 27, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by WhitneyD Unacceptable I bought a suite for May 2, 2014 through May 4, 2014. I checked in on May 2nd and that night my Maid of Honor and myself stayed there. On May 3rd, all of the bridesmaids and myself used the suite to get ready in for my wedding. At 4:15pm when we left the hotel we went to the front desk and asked them to clean the room and change the sheets since they hadn't been by yet and that night it would be used as a honeymoon suite. When I came back from the wedding at 2:00am i found that the room had not been cleaned at all and the sheets had not been changed. I called the front desk and she explained that they would simply "get to it when they get to it". After about five minutes while my groom was just waiting patiently downstairs, i called them back and told them that this was unacceptable and needed to be addressed immediately. A security guard and a front desk person came and changed the sheets and tried to pick up as much of the trash as possible. She gave me a voucher for free room service breakfast for my trouble and told me to pick out what we wanted to eat but to make sure that it was hanging on the door by 2am because that was when they picked up the orders. It was already past two when she was up there changing the sheets. This was an awful experience and I will never use this hotel or recommend it to anyone. May 12, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by jamie22 Downtown Fort Worth Sheraton stinks! literall! This was a bad experience from the get go. My room smelled like alcohol the entire 4 nights. The room was never cleaned properly AND they are trying to charge me for parking when I never did part in their facility. December 16, 2011
Rated 5 out of 5 by MuchBetter Excellent Guest Experience This was my 3rd stay in 5 months at this site. Each stay has been fine with no complaints. I must say though that I have noticed improved service throughout the hotel with each stay. This particular trip I was not feeling well when I checked in (just before 11 p.m.) and I was looking for some medicine to help get a good night of rest. Without hesitation, and without me noticing, the front desk agent proactively searched the internet and before I could step away from the front desk she gave me detailed directions to the nearest 24 Hour drug store. When I returned from the drug store, I mentioned to the Valet Staff that I would need the car at 8:00 a.m. for a meeting, and he said he would make a note of it. I just thought he was going to park it close...to my pleasant surprise, when I stepped outside at 8:00 to request my car, it was there waiting for me. That is EXCELLENT guest Service. Keep up the great work. Proactive measures are the key to Excellent Service. Keep finding ways to WOW us as guests, and we'll find ways to WOW you (through tips, positive feedback, and return visits). February 21, 2012
Rated 1 out of 5 by fmj0717 Unprepared this hotel was unbelieveable unprepared for the number of women for the Premier Designs Convention. I personally will not stay there again. Not enough staff on hand, totally messed up on billing of rooms, i checked out Saturday 7/13/13 and just now 7/15/13 getting a charge on on my account for the incidential charge, now i didn't charge anything to my room # 1015 nor did i use anything in the room except a towel and washcloth. Totally unprepared and will not recommend this hotel to anyone. I have been on hold for 15 miutes and no response, just got hung up on. July 15, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by Mark110572 Disappointing Experience/Stay The room smelled musty and the TV did not work. I was not able to sleep in and relax b/c my husband could not watch football b/c there wasn't a signal. November 10, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by 54321 Terrible I was charged the wrong amount and it took the entire length of my stay to have it adjusted (4 days), I was locked out of my room after my 3rd day and at 11:00 at night hotel security used a key to try to enter my room to see if it was occupied! They blamed it on the new computer system. Not to mention the rude and extremely unprofessional service I received from the night manager and desk clerk when checking out. Oh, wait... they cleaned my room once of the entire 4 night stay. July 23, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by Sleepless Worst stay in a long time at any hotel Room was never serviced. Front desk said they would report it to housekeeping at 430pm. Still not cleaned at 10 pm. All I got from the desk then was a weak "I'm sorry". Never did get serviced during my stay. Why do I have to pay the high rate and get nothing in return. A rip off and not contact back from staff or management even after it was requested and promised. November 18, 2011
Rated 4 out of 5 by KimL A Pleasant Stay I recently took my elderly mother, my teenage son, and my 7-year-old nephew here for a few days' recreation during Spring Break. We all enjoyed our stay here, although our ages ranged from seven to seventy-six. The indoor pool was beautifully maintained, and I spoke a few minutes with the man who does the pool maintenance and complimented him on his work--he was very cordial. My teenage son loved the wireless Internet and the generous "Continental Breakfast" on the VIP floor. Lucy took care of us every moring we were there, and she did a wonderful job of making us feel at home and insuring all was well. As for the Internet, I have never had service that was so reliable and easy to connect to, even on the 10th floor--and I travel quite a bit for both business and recreation. Our room was clean and well-kept, as were the other areas of the hotel. I had read the service reviews, but I can see a change at this hotel--everyone from the front desk to the young woman in the gift shop went out of their way to insure an enjoyable stay. Thanks! March 26, 2012
Rated 1 out of 5 by Dee55 Not a Good Experience We received the discounted rate because we are Texas residents, (and you would think that would mean the best accommodations since we would be the most likely to return.) However, our room was really "beat up" and just 10 minutes after arrival a tiny bug was crawling on my foot while lying in bed watching TV. It was clear they were undergoing renovations but that shouldn't mean a bad room. Although clean, the indoor pool area was very dark and uninviting. However, I will say the bellmen were great! They helped with our shuttle service and gave us a lot of good information about getting around town--unlike the information we received from the front desk service. October 6, 2014

Rated 1 out of 5 by NMYTraveler Fort Worth Disappointing on all levels. Not up to SPG standards July 21, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by JGreen5740 Things they don't tell you... Overall, nice hotel and friendly staff. Decided to eat breakfast early before my departure at the buffet. No prices available until I rec'vd my bill. I find $16.00 pretty high since I don't each much. I also rec'vd my final bill via email and was charged for Valet parking. I parked myself and was later informed parking is not free, ony self or valet. I did pay the self parking rate. October 28, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by Irishgirl16 Terrible Stay We were SPGs and given a room with an air conditioner leak that caused the carpeting to be wet and the room to smell like mildew. We asked for another room and it was the same way. They upgraded our fourth room and moved us down to another floor. We finally got a good room, but there was a large group of college students staying on that floor and they were up all night in the hallway loudly talking and playing music. We had to call security at about 3 am to finally get any sleep. We stayed at that Sheraton because of the conference we were attending. But, we will probably never stay there again. For being called a hotel resort and spa, it was way over hyped and over priced. We've had better stays at motels. October 7, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by FrankinFlorida Poor Customer Service, outdated rooms. I've tried to call the front desk for over 2 hours since I couldn't get in touch with room service, no luck. I finally got through and was told his co-worker left early and he is alone, I informed him I can't get through to room service, he said he would call them. Never heard from anyone. I reserved the largest suite which is a disappointment at best. The toilet runs constantly, I hear the elevator bells in my room every time it stops on my floor. The room door has a 2 inch space between it and the floor so I've heard every conversation out in the hall. The decor is outdated, the carpet is dirty and sticky. The internet drops constantly. Calling this hotel a spa is a stretch. They should pay you to stay here. August 15, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by Shirley26 Dissatisfied Customer I had to wait several hours before I could check in, which was an hour before my engagement began. There was no refrigerator in the room and the room wasn't clean. There was no where to park and on the website there was information that there was self parking but no mention that it was $15 a night. For the price I paid for this hotel, it was far below my expectations. I am so dissatified with my stay at this hotel. It didn't even have continental breakfast. I should have stayed at the hotel where my friends stayed. They paid the same price and had all the ammentities. August 8, 2012
Rated 3 out of 5 by notsatisfied33 Old room The room was old with busted plaster spots on the walls and large stains on the carpet. When I walked in the room was at 54 degrees. I turned it up to a reasonable temp (68) and the carpet stuck to my feet. I guess they kept it cold to keep the mold factor down. They also said they had a hotel shuttle to the airport. It turned out to be Super Shuttle...one of the worst services available. I waited at the airport for the van for 40 minutes. Clean/upgrade the rooms and stop telling guests there is a hotel shuttle and then sending them to a 2.5 star van service. November 1, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by SancolRoute66 Great location; great features This hotel is located right downtown in Fort Worth but, better yet, right across from the amazing Water Gardens. What a lovely spot to walk and explore, day and evening. Hotel itself is very well equipped, with nice pool, dining facilities, etc. Room very comfortable, and the whole building is beautifully clean. Staff very helpful, especially looking out for our "late arrival luggage", that was delivered from the airport, and we were notified immediately, as requested. We only had a night in Fort Worth, but would love to go back to the hotel, and the city. May 1, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Mathwiz8792 Better than expected We planned several 'mini' trips this summer, based on the specials I found from various sources. We used a Living Social voucher for our stay, and in all honesty, expected less than 'stellar' accommodations and service. We were pleasantly surprised and very pleased. The room location was wonderful, the staff pleasant and helpful, the breakfast delicious! Thank you for a wonderful trip! By the way, I just received another offer for your hotel from Living Social, and I think I'm going to purchase it again! We would enjoy Fort Worth again in the fall. June 20, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by TKelly007 Exceptional service Megan, who worked at the front desk, went beyond the call of duty for me. The restaurant on site was about to close, it was 10 minutes till. The restaurant did not answer and I was starving. Megan took the initiative and walked over and gave them my order. That made a HUGE difference for me. She did not have to do it, but without hesitation she did. I did not meet her face to face; I hope she knows she made my family very happy that night. Thanks Megan ! Small things make a big difference. July 18, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by Tamara512 DO NOT STAY HERE My daughter and her team booked rooms in this hotel during a national dance competition which is what prompted me to stay here as well. We arrived to a mediocre room with no internet connection and very limited Wi-Fi. The room was dirty and small. The carpet was stained and the glasses provided had black dirt on the rims. The bathroom floor had dark hair all over it and the sheets were not very clean either. We were told that we could plug into the internet in the room but the connection was not live. There was a desk in the room with a lamp on it that wasn't plugged in or even near enough to a plug to plug in ourselves. All sounds traveled through the walls so it was very hard to sleep. This hotel features homeless people in the lobby as well, which was great considering my 15 year old daughter was staying here. The menu provided in the room was old and apparently no longer offered. The pool was over chlorinated and dirty. I didn't venture into the spa which was probably a good idea. The food offered in the restaurant was ok but there were very few menu choices... three to be exact. All of the food was overpriced for what it was. The staff that serviced our room was nice and the shuttle driver was wonderful. Beyond that there was very little that would bring me back to this hotel. I would not recommend staying here. At 179 a night and 20 for parking it is NOT WORTH IT. March 24, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by FourSims WORST NIGHT EVER We always stay at Starwood hotels whenever possible because of the consistency in quality. However, we couldn't have been more disappointed in this one-night hotel stay. Due to the consistent, high-level of noise, we were entirely unable to stay asleep. Cleaning crews, neighboring guests, highway traffic, trains passing right outside the hotel, it was so bad that we packed up at 12:45 a.m. and drove an hour home just to get some sleep. Starwood should get this hotel out of it's portfolio as it doesn't represent the usual quality of Starwood proe December 12, 2011
Rated 2 out of 5 by HT86 Poor customer service I was happy with the hotel itself, but NOT with the employees/management. They didn't seem to listen, despite 2 attempts to clarify the names of guests staying with me, and the dates of their arrival. The result? I was charged the full room fee on one CC, and then a "no-show" fee on my other CC. I called them as soon as I noticed this erroneous charge, was given a hard time as to whether the charge would even be removed or not. I was told TWICE that I would receive a call back with an update on what management said. When I failed to hear any final say, I left a voicemail with management. Even then, I still never received a call back. They did refund me, but I had to find out by checking my bank statement online. Just simply poor communication. October 18, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by Not4me The room was unsatisfactory Carpet stained Lampshade broken in several places A/C was so noisy I could not sleep; loud coming on and chirping noise while running Bathroom door inside bathroom had "stuff" on it and dripping down the door Furniture horribly scratched, chipped I felt "dirty" being in the room #804 August 19, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by DeniseinTX Saleem Saleem is an excellent employee. He was very helpful with getting me around town in the shuttle. He went out of his way to provide superior service. Please recognize his performance. He is a jewel your brand's crown. October 24, 2014

Could Time Name Twitter ŌĆśPerson of the YearŌĆÖ?
Panelists debate who should take magazineŌĆÖs top honor.
After a more than hour-long debate, six panelists were split between two candidates they thought should be named Time magazineŌĆÖs 2009 Person of the Year. Neither, for the record, were actually human beings.
Three panelists voted for Twitter. Three voted for the economy.
ŌĆ£Twitter affects a lot of people, but not as many as the economy,ŌĆØ said former New York City mayor and debate panelist Rudy Giuliani. ŌĆ£From the wealthy to the poor who are out of jobs, the economy affects us all.ŌĆØ Other panelists included Barbara Walters; cardiac surgeon and newly-named television show host Dr. Mehmet Oz; O the Oprah Magazine editor-at-large Gayle King; restaurant founder and Top Chef judge Tom Colicchio; and Luke Ravensthal, the 29-year-old mayor of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
A number of highly deserving, and living people also were talked about Thursday night on the eighth floor of ManhattanŌĆÖs Time/Life Building. HereŌĆÖs a quick look at who made the conversation:
Nancy Pelosi, in relation to ObamaŌĆÖs proposed healthcare bill (suggested by Walters); ŌĆ£patient zero,ŌĆØ the first person who contracted the H1N1 virus (Dr. Oz); U.S. Federal Reserve chairman Ben Bernanke (Colocchio); recently-named associate justice of the U.S. Supreme Court Sonia Sotomayor (King); General David Patraeus and Chesley ŌĆ£SullyŌĆØ Sulenberger, the US Airways pilot who successfully carried out an emergency landing of an airplane in New YorkŌĆÖs Hudson River in January (Giuliani). Giuliani, of course, also couldnŌĆÖt help but nominate longtime New York Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter.
OK, the Yanks won the World Series, but he hardly qualifies as the most significant global influencer of the year.
But between Twitter and the economy, which has the better shot at unseating president Barack Obama as TimeŌĆÖs Person of the Year (he was named last December)? Both arguably are relevant and have had significant global influence this year.
But is there a clear winner? I don't think so. And how much stock does Time actually put into these annual debates?
But if not for the social implication, I for one enjoyed another of Barbara WaltersŌĆÖ suggestions for the business aspect: despised Ponzie schemer-turned-jailbird Bernie Madoff. ŌĆ£If you want to sell some magazines, you name someone like Madoff,ŌĆØ Walters said. ŌĆ£People would pick up those issues and say, ŌĆśHow dare you?ŌĆÖŌĆØ

Canon U.S.A. Pioneers EPEAT® Imaging Equipment Product Registration With Selected Digital Multifunction Devices
As part of its near 30-year commitment to the Kyosei philosophy of living and working together for the common good, Canon U.S.A., Inc., a leader in digital imaging solutions, today announced that it is among the first manufacturers with qualifying products in the new imaging equipment category of EPEAT ®, the global registry for greener electronics. Governments, businesses and individuals worldwide use EPEAT to assist them in choosing devices that can help reduce their environmental impact. Additionally, all eight models in Canon's imageRUNNER ADVANCE C5200 and imageRUNNER ADVANCE 4000 Series of multifunction devices have received an EPEAT Gold rating, the highest level of registration.
"Canon's commitment to Kyosei is more than a philosophy; it is ingrained in everything we do. Similarly, Canon handles research and development with two simultaneous objectives in mind: maximizing each product's performance while minimizing its environmental impact," said Seymour Liebman, executive vice president, chief administrative officer and general counsel, Canon U.S.A. "We are extremely proud to be among the first companies in the digital imaging category to secure EPEAT registration and look forward to expanding on our great heritage of developing products that can help our customers achieve their own environmental goals."
To be added to the EPEAT registry, an imaging device must meet at least 33 required environmental performance criteria. Products may achieve higher ratings by meeting some or all of 26 additional optional criteria. Gold qualification signifies that a product meets all required criteria and at least 75 percent of optional criteria. The rating criteria were developed during a four-year stakeholder consensus process that involved hundreds of representatives from the environmental, research, governmental and manufacturing sectors.
EPEAT rates products on a lifecycle basis, and considers, among other things, their absence of toxic substances, their use of recycled and recyclable materials, and their design for recycling, product longevity, energy efficiency, corporate performance and packaging.

Defining the hyperbolic cosecant function
The hyperbolic cosecant function is an old mathematical function.
This function has a simple definition as the reciprocal to hyperbolic sine functions:
After comparison with the famous Euler formula for the sine function , it is easy to derive the following representation of the hyperbolic cosecant through the circular cosecant:
This formula allows the derivation of all the properties and formulas for the hyperbolic cosecant from the corresponding properties and formulas for the circular cosecant.

Using Divine Power
by aionlauren on Jul.29, 2009, under Gameplay
I often wondered what the bar below my health point and mana point bars could be as it was simply highlighted as 'DP'. Every time I killed a mob the bar would go up and level with the potential of hitting level 3. The bar would empty every time I died however and I thought that maybe it was for an experience bonus. A little research later, I found discovered that it was 'Divine Power' and was used for morphing substances and powerful skills.
The whole point of leveling DP is so you have more to use for skills rather than just using a skill once at level 1. This is quite helpful during PvP (Player vs. Player) or for crafting raw materials from Aether powder which costs 200 DP each time. (continue reading…)

AMD FX-8350 and FX-6300 Processor Review: Vishera Breaks Cover
Test Setup
Testing for this release is going to be interesting, especially since we have not seen a significant refresh from AMD since the launch of the FX-6200 and FX-4170 parts. The top end for AMD has been the FX-8150, which was released a year ago. In the meantime we have seen Intel release their Ivy Bridge lineup, as well as the Ivy Bridge E series. When we consider the overall cost of the Ivy Bridge E platform, AMD certainly is not in the running against those particular products. In fact, it is a stretch to even compare the i7 3770K to anything AMD has, especially when considering that the 3770K retails for around $330 US. That $330 would purchase the FX-8350 and a pretty decent motherboard
The current top end for AMD is the FX-8350. Note that it is still called Zambezi here.
AMD sent us the FX-8350 and the FX-6300 for review. We are comparing it to the FX-8150, FX-6200, Phenom II X6 1100T, and the i7 3770K. I did not have the i5 3570K available for comparison, but this four core/four thread part does look to be very nearly the equal of the FX-8350. I do feel that it is quite interesting to see how the latest AMD flagship processor compares to the much more expensive Intel product. Something to keep in mind is since the 3570K does not enable Hyperthreading, it will be at a disadvantage when being used with heavily multi-threaded applications. Otherwise, Intel has a lock on being the overall x86 IPC leader.
Taking a look at the older FX-6200 note the name, as well as the processor revision and compare it to the product above.
The AMD processors used the Asus Crosshair V Formula with the latest BIOS. On the Intel side I used the Gigabyte G1-Sniper 3 motherboard.
Common Components
AMD Radeon HD 5870 1GB
2 x 4GB GSkill DDR-3 1866 memory @ 126.96.36.199 latencies
1 TB WD Caviar Black SATA-6G drive
Lite-On BDR Drive
Corsair TX750W Power Supply
Windows 7 Ultimate 64 Bit Edition
Thanks for the indepth article Josh. Just one minor correction. In the Test Setup section on the third page, the third sentence reads:
"In the meantime we have seen Intel release their Ivy Bridge lineup, as well as the Ivy Bridge E series."
I'm assuming this should read "Sandy Bridge E" instead of Ivy E, unless you guys at PCPer have access to some shiny newness that you're not telling us about ;)
Otherwise, a good read.
Ack, yes... I meant SB-E. I almost wish that socket would just die...
It would be interesting to see how much power spike happened on the 8350 when it was clocked to 4.6ghz. Since its only 400mhz overclock but AMD cpu's lately have been know to chew power up on mild overclock's.
I went from amd sempron to amd phenom then to 2x xeons loved it now im with i7 3770k 4.9Ghz im never going back to amd!
8 Cores, TDP @ 95w, stock speed 4.0ghz/4.6ghz turbo, running cool on air, under $200.00 then we're talking... until then I see no reason to purchase. Step in the right direction however..dont give up AMD!
You guys do know both the PS3 and XBox720 will be using AMD APUs. AMD is not going anywhere.

Hurrdat announced the launch of its new sister company opendorse at a recent office open house. In the past year, Hurrdat developed the Athlete Engagement Platform, a technology that allows brands to seek online endorsements from professional athletes. opendorse will expand on this technology, opening the platform to any online influencer.
"opendorse is an open-endorsement platform that connects brands with influencers of their target markets. Think of it like a match.com for the endorsement industry. We're just simplifying the process," founder and CEO Blake Lawrence said.
Lawrence will retain his role as CEO of Hurrdat, but will be shifting his primary focus toward the product and business development of opendorse. Co-founder and Chief Operations Officer Adi Kunalic will continue to oversee things at Hurrdat while having an advisory role at opendorse.
The company is assembling its advisory board and will release those names at a later date, as well as its intent to raise funds.
While Hurrdat and opendorse are separate entities, both will be housed in Hurrdat's offices in Lincoln's Haymarket District.
For more information about Hurrdat Social Media, please contact Adi Kunalic at (402) 435-0460 or visit www.hurrdat.com.

It was only a matter of time before EA stepped in and made a decision regarding the struggling Medal of Honor series, and it looks like EA is pulling the series down for a while, as the team hopes to come up with new ideas for the franchise. EA stated that the franchise will be "going out of rotation." It looks like EA paid attention to what the thousands of game critics and players were saying about the game, none of it being positive obviously. Peter Moore, EA COO, stated the following, "the game was solid, but the focus on combat authenticity did not resonate with consumers. Critics were polarized and gave the game scores which were, frankly, lower than it deserved. This one is behind us now. We are taking Medal of Honor out of the rotation and have a plan to bring year-over-year continuity to our shooter offerings."
EA is taking the resonsibility of really mishandling the reboot of one of most popular first person shooters of it's time. The only good news that could come from this, is that the series is not done forever, you just won't be seeing any new MOH games anytime soon.

Nafai knew the rule: when a man acts like a child, he's boyish, and everyone's delighted; when a boy acts the same way, he's childish, and everyone tells him to be a man.Orson Scott Card
To bring up a child in the way he should go, travel that way yourself once in a while.Josh Billings
A child wants some kind of undisrupted routine or rhythm. He seems to want a predictable, orderly world. For instance, injustice, unfairness or inconsistency in the parents seems to make a child feel anxious and unsafe. This attitude may not be so mu.Abraham Maslow
By Allah, if you were to appoint a small child over me, I would obey him. How could I not obey you when you are far above me in Islam and have been named the Trusted One by the Prophet? I could never attain your status. I declare here and now that I have dedicated my life to the way of Allah, Most High.al-Walid, Khalid ibn
I have the right to do whatever I wish with my property. If I own a pile of wood, I can set fire to it even if it is currently nailed together in the shape of a barn. Cigarettes may not be healthy for me in the long run, but I have the freedom to smoke them anyway. Drinking alcohol may or may not have negative side effects, but even if it does, the government has no authority to prohibit you from consuming it, even if it is "in your own best interest." Since when do we let the government decide what is or isn't good for us? What the hell does Congress know about nutrition, anyway? (For that matter, what does Congress know about the Constitution?) If the government can use force whenever something is "in our best interest" then government should force everyone to wake up at 6am every morning for calisthenics in the front yard. Fast food establishments should be torn down and replaced with bars that serve carrot juice and alfalfa sprouts, since - "it's in your best interest." This paternalistic attitude that "the government knows best" and that you are merely a helpless child is insulting and reprehensible. Hitler used the same attitude to persuade the Germans to subjugate themselves to the "Fatherland."Michael J. Badnarik
What is God after all ? An eternal child playing an eternal game in an eternal garden.Sri Aurobindo
There's no tragedy in life like the death of a child. Things never get back to the way they were.Dwight David Eisenhower
The whole difference between construction and creation is exactly this: that a thing constructed can only be loved after it is constructed; but a thing created is loved before it exists, as the mother can love the unborn child.Gilbert Keith Chesterton
Wait for those unguarded moments. Relax the mood and, like the child dropping off to sleep, the subject often reveals his truest self.Barbara Walters
Even a crow thinks its child is golden.Tamil proverb
Every child in American should have access to a well-stocked school library. An investment in libraries is an investment in our children's future.Laura Welch Bush
Libraries allow children to ask questions about the world and find the answers. And the wonderful thing is that once a child learns to use a library, the doors to learning are always open.Laura Welch Bush
Love is a boy by poets styl'd; Then spare the rod and spoil the child.Samuel Butler
I suppose every child has a world of his own and every man, too, for the matter of that. I wonder if that's the cause for all the misunderstanding there is in Life?Charles Lutwidge Dodgson
The hardest part of raising a child is teaching them to ride bicycles. A shaky child on a bicycle for the first time needs both support and freedom. The realization that this is what the child will always need can hit hard.Sloan Wilson
Love is the chain whereby to bind a child to its parents.Abraham Lincoln
There is no friendship, no love, like that of the parent for the child.Henry Ward Beecher
She had called in the debt that parents owe a child for bringing her, unasked, into a strange world. One should never make an offer without knowing full well what will happen if it is accepted.William M. Kucmierowski
But I feel that the greatest destroyer of peace today is abortion, because it is a war against the child, a direct killing of the innocent child, murder by the mother herself. And if we accept that a mother can kill even her own child, how can we tell other people not to kill one another? ... By abortion, the mother does not learn to love, but kills even her own child to solve her problems. And, by abortion, that father is told that he does not have to take any responsibility at all for the child he has brought into the world. The father is likely to put other women into the same trouble. So abortion just leads to more abortion. Any country that accepts abortion is not teaching its people to love, but to use any violence to get what they want. This is why the greatest destroyer of love and peace is abortion.Mother Teresa of Calcutta
This legislation gives parents some comfort that their children won't fall prey to child predators while using the Internet at schools and libraries that receive federal dollars for Internet services.Judy Biggert
New legislation has just been adopted by the International Labour Organization on the Worst Forms of Child Labor, such as bonded labour, prostitution and hazardous work.Carol Bellamy
We worry about what a child will become tomorrow, yet we forget that he is someone today.Stacia Tauscher
It is a poverty to decide that a child must die so that you may live as you wish.Mother Teresa

Skydive Orange's first plane-to-sky plunge happened in 1977, and the business has been safely guiding students through the skies ever since. The coaches and instructors here are all USPA-rated, and offer tandem skydiving for beginners as well as Accelerated Freefall programs for advanced skydivers. Whatever their level of experience, students learn the fundamentals inside of air conditioned classrooms before boarding the plane, and leaping from heights up to 2.5 miles. Once the parachute deploys, divers gracefully coast to a designated zone to the sound of applause from watching family members and the boos of jealous penguins situated on nearby bleachers. Jumps are commemorated with a certificate and logbook, and Skydive Orange also has a videographer on staff who can film the experience for skydivers who want video documentation of their leap.

Recently opened in 2009, the tasting and hospitality center at Sweely Estate Winery boasts scenic vineyard views from the attached open-air terrace. As guests take in the sights of the nearby Blue Ridge Mountains, Sweely's winesperts pour a medley of fine French-style wines, including reds aged in French oak barrels and whites enhanced by premium grapes in gravity flow. Compare and contrast the fermented flavors with the accompanying cheeses, then apply the included $10 credit toward a bottle of memories such as the refreshing Sweely Estate pinot gris ($16), graced with palate-tickling notes of green apple and citrus, or the Sweely Estate merlot ($20.95), swirled with mixed berry and minty overtones.
Like the tail feathers of its peacock mascot, Narmada Vineyards is best described by the colors on display at the 51-acre winery. Foremost is the verdant green of the vines, contrasted with the purple grapes and clear blue of the neighboring lake. Then there are the wines themselves, ranging in hue from deep burgundy to bright peach. And finally, there's the metallic sheen of the winery's numerous awards, an avalanche of gold from contests such as the San Francisco International Wine Competition.
Of course, a winery can't thrive on looks alone. Combining a background in chemistry with her discerning taste, winemaker Sudha Patil concocts a range of reds, whites, and dessert wines that pair readily with food. The majority of the winery's ingredients are grown on the property, with the remainder sourced from Virginian growers. These handcrafted vintages, producing a modest 3,000 cases per year, are poured inside a rustic tasting room decorated with leather couches, hardwood furniture, and large windows.
In the book-lined study at Montpelier, President James Madison spent late nights reading up on ancient democracies, piecing together the principles that would shape the US constitution. The study—preserved to 19th-century splendor after a $25 million renovation—is one of many places at James Madison's Montpelier steeped in historical significance.
Situated in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains and surrounded by nearly 3,000 acres of manicured gardens, James Madison's Montpelier sets an idyllic backdrop for peering into the past. Museum educators lead tours of the mansion and shed light on the community. Visitors can also take part in 19th-century cooking and craftsmanship demonstrations.
The museum's preservation efforts extend beyond the mansion. The estate features an active archaeological dig and hands-on lab, and visitors can stroll through a rare hardwood old-growth forest consisting of towering poplars, oaks, sprawling beeches, and eagles in powdered wigs.

I remember Mom & my Grandma's making this attractive recipe. Probably a Purdue Extension Club recipe. I omitted the salt. I wasn't allowed to help make it until I was old enough to use a knife - probably when I was in college. Some prefer to add vinegar or an Italian salad dressing. We just ate as is. Good for carry-in picnics, etc. If you have access to tomatoes of a variety of colors, it is pretty.

Lots of married couples complain that their sex lives aren't as robust as they once were... but are you breaking the law if you're not giving it up like you used to? If you live in France, you might be.
The UK's Telegraph is reporting that a judge has ordered a French man to pay his ex-wife more than $13,000 in compensatory damages for enduring a sexually insufficient marriage for 21 years. The judge ruled: "A sexual relationship between husband and wife is the expression of affection they have for each other, and in this case it was absent. By getting married, couples agree to sharing their life and this clearly implies they will have sex with each other."
So. Many. Questions. First, who gets to decide how much sex is "enough"? The couple has two children, so the union wasn't totally sexless. And no, I'm not saying twice in 21 years is plenty, but what if she wanted it six times a day and he only wanted it every other week? Would she be entitled to financial compensation then?
And if our French friend was so sex-starved, why did she wait twenty-one years to leave the guy? I can't be the first wife out there to admit that my sex drive is not quite as robust as my husband's. (Although I may be the first to dissect the disparity in graphic detail in my book.) But I think putting a price tag on the deed -- especially after the fact -- is cheap and just a little bit creepy.

Community Development
Meeting the Challenge: Keeping Kids in School
10 a.m. - Noon | Wednesday, Sept. 12, 2012 - Louisville, Ky.
Every day, about 7,000 students nationwide leave high school without a diploma, according to the Alliance for Excellent Education. (See www.all4ed.org/files/HighSchoolDropouts.pdf.) That's about a million kids every year. By dropping out, these individuals significantly diminish their employment opportunities and promising future. Moreover, at a time of federal and state budget cuts, dropouts can have a substantial negative financial impact on their communities.
There is a growing need to use innovative approaches to reach out to at-risk youth and foster job creation. The Network for Teaching Entrepreneurship (NFTE; www.nfte.com) provides programs that inspire young people to stay in school, recognize business opportunities and plan for a successful future. NFTE runs an annual business-plan competition that not only keeps potential dropouts in school, but engages them in such a way as to put them on a path to a different future.
During this event, participants will learn about NFTE and innovative approaches to reach today's youth.
Who should attend?
- Workforce development agencies
- Universities and colleges
- School administrators, local and state education officials
- Nonprofits
- Community and economic development agency officials
- CDCs/CDFIs
- Bankers
- Business leaders
- Entrepreneurs
- Chambers of commerce
This event is free; however, registration is required by Friday, Sept. 7, as space is limited. Light refreshments will be provided.
- 10 a.m. Welcome and Introductions
- 10:10 a.m. Network for Teaching Entrepreneurship Presentation
- 10:30 a.m. Group Activity
- 11 a.m. Q & A
- Noon Adjourn

Hi!! I'd like to request a banner for my up-coming Mafia game!! I will give you full credit for the banner!!
Subject: Pokemon GSC-HGSS Style Mafia Banner
Background description/image: I'd like it to feature day and night, with the sun on the left and the moon (crescent moon) on the right. The day-sky (bright orange and yellow) and night-sky (dark purple) should be crossing over naturally - preferrably in gradiation.
Character/image: Likewise, I'd like Ho-oh on the left and Lugia on the right. The sun and moon in the background should be shining behind them. Both of the birds must be clearly recognizable. I would like both of them to be the official artwork from HGSS. Of course, both of them have to be the same size.
I brought these from bulbapedia. If you feel that there are other official pictures that would be better, then I will trust your skills :)
Also, if possible, I'd like Suicune in the middle - on the boundaries of "Day" and "Night". It would be most best if Suicune is blue & tranparent. It's an option, so you don't have to include it but I'd like it as well.
Due to my lack of search skills, I only have these. However, if you have a better picture, then I will trust your skills :)
Other notes:
I'd like the words in the middle in this format - directly over Suicune. It should be spaced enough not to cover Suicune, and large enough to be recognizable.
I'd like the words POKEMON to be in Unown characters (and the colors as well). GSC should be done in gold color, & is clear-blue/icy-blue, HGSS is silver color - I'd love it if they were all glittery. The fonts would be best in something "slashy". Like, some fonts that enable the letters S and C have sharp curves and pointy ends. I'll leave that to you.
Size: It's a banner for a mafia game, so it can be large...though. Maybe 300 to 500 pixels in height and 700 to 1000 pixels in width?
Thanks in advance XDD

The Ancestral Phoenix Egg is a reward for all players who successfully complete the Challenge Conqueror: Silver achievement. The Ancestral Phoenix Egg can be exchanged for one of four any mounts of your choice from a vendor in your faction's capital city within the Vale of the Eternal Blossoms. You have a choice of four different Pandaren Phoenix mounts, but you may only choose one per character. Like Gladiator mounts, these mounts are not-account wide and are bound only to the character who completed the achievement. Your character may not complete the achievement more than once, and only one of the four color choices will be available to that character, so choose wisely.
You can see the different colors of Pandaren Phoenix mounts by clicking on the bar at the left. Make sure you choose the color of Pandaren Phoenix that you really want, because exchanges are not possible.
There are four available Pandaren Phoenix variations:
- Crimson Pandaren Phoenix
- Ashen Pandaren Phoenix
- Emerald Pandaren Phoenix
- Violet Pandaren Phoenix
You can trade with Kai Featherfall just outside the Seat of Knowledge to access the mounts once you've received your Ancestral Phoenix Egg.

Our guide to some of the hidden-gem gags and throwbacks peppered throughout the new batch of 15 episodes
Season 4, episode 1 (click to read Annie Barrett's recap)
6:54 When George-Michael asks his dad about ''the most important thing,'' he's talking about privacy, but Michael thinks he's talking about ''family'' (a callback to the pilot where they also establish that breakfast is the most important thing...that you eat).
9:07 News anchor Beatrix Hebberly-Sneed reports from ''Actual Britain'' in a nod to ''Wee Britain'' (the British section of Orange County, Calif.).
14:18 (and throughout) Fox 6 news anchor/To Entrap a Local Predator host John Beard was the news anchor for L.A.'s KTTV from 1993-2007; though he's relocated to Buffalo, he reprised his role for the new episodes.
15:14 In the flashback to young Michael's school play ''The Trial of Captain Hook,'' he runs across another ''loose seal'' (this time, a giant school insignia) while suspended mid-air.
21:58 The cover of Attitude magazine (not to be confused with in-flight magazine Altitude) shows the headline ''Boy George George Michael more than just a name in common'' after George-Michael complains about his name's associations and Michael suggests ''Boy George'' as an alternative.
27:27 Just after he's kicked out of George-Michael's dorm, Michael makes a pose of contrition similar to what will soon appear in Altitude's hatchet job article about the Bluths; as he exits with his head down, the sad music from Charlie Brown plays (an homage to season 2's ''Good Grief'' that Buster repeats in episode 14), and camera pans down to the paper to reveal the word ''Michael'' written under the crossed-out ''Da'' of Dad (i.e. that was George-Michael's vote against his father).
27:46 The ticket agents from whom Michael tries to get a copy of Altitude magazine are cast members of the Comedy Central show Workaholics.
30:15 (shown) The mural behind Michael at the Phoenix airport is sprinkled with scenes from the previous three seasons, including an image of a Mexican chapel, a banana stand, a shot of Wee Britain, and the Queen Mary sailing away with another loose seal (like the one that mauled Buster) in the foreground.

OHSU Researcher Receives American Stroke Association's Highest Honor
05/04/04 Portland, Ore.
Traystman honored for more than 30 years of cutting-edge stroke research
Richard Traystman, Ph.D., associate vice president for research planning and development at Oregon Health and Science University and professor of anesthesiology and peri-operative medicine in the OHSU School of Medicine, is the recipient of the American Stroke Association's highest honor -- the Thomas Willis Award -- for 2004. The award recognizes a senior investigator who has made outstanding contributions to the understanding of stroke over a sustained period.
Traystman received the award and delivered the Thomas Willis lecture at the 29th International Stroke Conference. He lectured on: "Cardiac Arrest and Brain: A Tale of Thumpers, Drugs, Sex and Genes."
Traystman has spent more than 30 years studying the mechanisms of cerebrovascular regulation in the fetus, newborn and adult; neuroprotection during stroke and cardiopulmonary resuscitation; and the mechanisms of brain injury following focal and global cerebral stroke. He has several grants from the National Institutes of Health supporting these endeavors.
Traystman received his doctorate from Johns Hopkins University Medical Center in 1971 and then completed a postdoctoral fellowship at Bowman Gray School of Medicine. He returned to the Johns Hopkins Medical Center in 1972.
Traystman was the endowed senior vice chairman for research in anesthesiology and critical medicine at Johns Hopkins and director of the Eugene and Mary B. Meyer Center for Advanced Transfusion Practices for Johns Hopkins Medical Institutions until joining OHSU in 2003.
Thomas Willis, M.D., (1621-1675), for whom the award is named, is credited with providing the first detailed description of the brain stem, cerebellum and ventricles along with extensive hypotheses about their functions.

An odd second unit turned yesterday's game around
Uh-oh. That's the one response I could muster to the lineup Doc Rivers used to begin yesterday's second quarter. Avery Bradley running the point? Von Wafer at the two? Marquis Daniels, Glen Davis, and Shaq rounding out the unit? I know injuries have started to take a toll on the Boston Celtics, but still: Where does the insanity end? Where does it end????
Well, the lineup I thought was insanity actually changed the game. For the better, even. By the time Ray Allen and Nate Robinson entered the game with 7:03 left in the second quarter, breaking up the eclectic fivesome, the Celtics had gone on a long, 8-2 run. Yes, the Nets only scored two points in five minutes. The Celtics would go on to outscore New Jersey in the period, 30-12.
Instead of showing its inexperience, the odd crew played inspired basketball. The group didn't exactly set the world on fire with offense — hell, it took the Celtics two minutes to score a point. But a two-minute drought doesn't look so bad when your opponent takes almost five minutes to get on the board.
"The second unit, in the second quarter, changed the whole game," Doc Rivers told the Boston Globe. "They went five possessions and they couldn't score, but the other team couldn't score and it was really good for them to see that. You don't have to score. If you keep getting stops eventually, the dam will break and you'll start scoring and it happened for them. That's a good thing for all those young guys."
The defensive effort was led by Avery Bradley. A rookie, leading the way defensively. Bradley showed his rough edges with the ball (he shot 2-7 from the field), but he is clearly an electric on-ball defender. Before the season, Bradley's AAU coach gushed about the guard's defense. (Boston Globe)
"Avery's one of those guys, he puts people in a phone booth,'' Ward said. "He could guard you so tight that you didn't even want the ball no more. Avery Bradley makes the best ball handlers on the other team give up the ball. You see point guards give the ball to the center, and make the center bring the ball up.
"You know the definition of harassment?'' Ward continued. "If you've got that ball, he's going to harass you. He's not going to harass you for one trip up the court, he's going to do it for 48 minutes.''
In his first extended stint of NBA playing time, Bradley's lock-down ability didn't disappoint. If you didn't know what Bradley's coach meant when he said, "He puts people in a phone booth," just re-watch yesterday's game. To say the least, it's tough to get past Avery Bradley. Tommy Heinsohn just about drooled every time Bradley dropped into a defensive stance.
But Bradley wasn't the only inexperienced Celtic who impressed. Von Wafer did a nice job, too, even if his defense wasn't nearly as captivating as his rookie teammate's. Wafer's defensive highlight was jumping a passing lane for a steal, but it was his consistency that stood out. As Rivers told ESPN Boston, "Von buying in, it was really good." Really good, indeed.
Glen Davis inspired with his energy, but that's normal so I won't discuss it in much detail. Really, I almost feel bad discussing individuals. The unit's staunch defense was a result of five men working as one. Rotations, hustle, all that jazz.
"[The second unit] played hard for every second and every minute," Nate Robinson, who earned a rare start, told ESPN Boston. "There were no letdowns. We're up 30 points and Luke Harangody is diving on the floor for loose balls and Avery Bradley is forcing jump balls. That's what separates us from other teams, just coming and playing with no egos."
And yes, it was the much-maligned second unit playing so well. For a few weeks, I wanted to rip my hair out of my head every time I watched the substitutes play. Now, there's hope for the second unit, although there is one catch.
"We've got to keep doing that not only against the Nets," Von Wafer told the Globe, "but even better teams around the league.''
One Response to "An odd second unit turned yesterday's game around"
I'm glad to hear Von wafer had a good game. I have always pulled for him. I remember when he played in Houston repklacing McGrady in the starting lineup. he did so well, but then all of a sudden he disappeared

For Immediate Release
Date: 07/30/13
AUGUSTA - Maine state representative Stacey Guerin (R-Glenburn) has been asked to participate in a panel discussion of privacy rights legislation at the 40th annual conference of the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) in Chicago. ALEC is a nonpartisan, public-private partnership that brings policymakers and experts together to exchange ideas to advance limited government and free enterprise.
The conference will be held on August 7-9 and Rep. Guerin will discuss her work on the Maine Legislature's Judiciary Committee, where she was a champion of Fourth Amendment privacy and search and seizure rights this year.
"I'm very proud of my work on privacy issues in the Maine Legislature, and I'm honored to be asked to participate in this panel of accomplished public servants from all over the country," said Guerin, who represents District 22, which comprises Glenburn, Kenduskeag, Levant, and part of Corinth.
Rep. Guerin's work was recently highlighted in a June column published by the Bangor Daily News. She joined a bipartisan group of state lawmakers to advance a set of bills to ensure that modern law enforcement tools such as unmanned aerial drones and cell phone GPS tracking still must respect warrant requirements and other legal safeguards.
Guerin was selected by ALEC on the recommendation of the American Civil Liberties Union of Maine.
"Given recent revelations about massive NSA spying, our efforts to advance the constitutional right to privacy are more important than ever," said Shenna Bellows, Executive Director of the ACLU of Maine. "We are excited that a national organization like ALEC has taken note of Maine's leadership on cell phone privacy and has invited Rep. Stacey Guerin to speak about our important work together at their national conference."
Joining Guerin on the panel entitled "Spotlight on the States: Fostering Broadband Connectivity, Electronic Privacy and E-Commerce through State Policy" will be Chairperson Phil Montgomery of the Wisconsin Public Service Commission, Representative Jason Saine of the North Carolina General Assembly, and former Federal Communications Commission (FCC) commissioner Deborah Taylor Tate.
"I look forward to telling my counterparts in other state governments about my experiences in trying to protect citizens' privacy in the face of unprecedented advancements in government surveillance," Guerin added.
"We selected Rep. Guerin because she is a strong advocate of Fourth Amendment rights with an impressive list of accomplishments," said Rep. Blair Thoreson of Minnesota, co-chair of ALEC's Communications and Technology Task Force. "State lawmakers like her are on the front lines of this important public policy debate."

Willbros Services
Willbros provides engineering, construction and maintenance services to global markets in the oil and gas industry as well as electric and natural gas utility transmission and distribution. From its century-long heritage of being principally a global engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) firm for pipeline systems and related facilities, with recent acquisitions Willbros now provides its integrated services offering to multiple end markets including upstream, midstream, downstream and electric utility markets.
Engineering & EPC
The acquisitions of Integrated Service Company (InServ) in 2007 and Wink Engineering, LLC in 2009 positioned WILLBROS as a leader in engineering, construction services, plant turnaround services, heater fabrication, consulting, in-plant safety services and facilities life extension capabilities for the downstream oil and gas industry. Both of the acquired companies have management teams averaging more than 25 years experience in providing solutions for clients in the refining and petrochemical industries.
With the 2010 acquisition of the InfrastruX Group, Inc., WILLBROS became a substantial provider of services in the electric and natural gas utility industries. InfrastruX, a diverse company with more than 100 sites in the United States, is a leading service provider of comprehensive constructoin, maintenance and life-extension solutions for electric transmission and distribution industry. The acquisition, now WILLBROS' Utility T&D (UT&D) segment, also complemented WILLBROS' service offering for natural gas gathering and transmission pipelines, and added supplementary services for distribution clients. Horizontal directional drilling capabilities also provide subsurface construction services using HDD to traverse environmentally-sensitive sites.
WILLBROS operates internationally. In Canada, it provides fully-integrated construction, fabrication and maintenance services primarily to customers in the oil sands region. Among its differentiators is its qualifies 'on-call' workforce and modular fabrication solutions for the oil sands extraction industry, centered in Alberta province.
For more than fifty years, WILLBROS has been a valued contractor for the U.S. government, most recently providing construction, ownership and management of fuel storage facilities at eight military bases.
Since the late 1940s, WILLBROS has served the Middle East, working in most countries within the region. Today, it operates a subsidiary, The Oman Construction Company (TOCO), in the Sultanate of Oman, providing contract and specialty services for that country's oil and gas gathering, pipeline and processing operations, including a maintenance services contract for the LNG export facility.

For me the hardest part of writing is simply sitting in front of this blasted computer and punching these rotten buttons. Turning my thoughts into coherent sentences is a difficult task and to be honest I'd much rather be walking the dogs…or staining the deck…or getting a tooth pulled. More months ago than I care to admit I agreed to contribute to this blog. I thought the commitment would force me to overcome my writing laziness. Hah! Weeks and months have past and I have grown guilty over my lack of contributions to the blog, but never has my shame gotten so great that it forced me to write.
Many people say finding the time to write is a problem. I disagree. We can all find time to do anything we think is important enough – the real trick is forcing yourself to write when it is just so easy to spend the time surfing the internet, watching t.v. or just about anything but button punching. Finding the time is not the problem. Using the time to write is the problem.
As I was walking into work today, thinking about all the resolutions I have not achieved, I saw my friend Will Ferguson sitting at a picnic table reading. I walked over to chat and found out he was waiting for his son to finish soccer practice. I asked how he was and he said he had been crazy busy. A "perfect storm of writing deadlines" was the phrase he used. "I'm such a procrastinator!" He said "I always wait until I absolutely have to write to actually do it."
We made the typical small talk. He had been so busy that his family had barley gotten out of town at all this summer. "It must be easier for you with no kids," he said, "You and Sara can take off anytime at the drop of a hat." I had to then make up some lame excuses about my wife and I being really busy at work, but Will was smart enough to see through it. "You have to get away, if even just a day trip to Canmore or something. You have to force yourself to do it." Because I can get away almost anytime, I never have made myself actually do it. It was, Will observed, the same thing with writing. "When a deadline is far off I feel like I have lots of time, so of course I don't do any writing - it's only when time is running out that I make myself do it."
Well, I'm no dummy. I suddenly realized that if I can get Will Ferguson, author of many Canadian best-selling books, to talk about writing then I've got myself a blog post! Trying to sound casual, I ask in an off-handed tone, "It must be difficult to get started with a project. Have you learned any methods to make it easier?"
"The tough thing is organizing your ideas so you can then work with them," he said. "One thing that really helps me is that I dictate my ideas into a recorder and have them typed out for me. Then I have these blocks of writing (he mimes grabbing invisible objects in the air) that are literally like the building blocks. I just rearrange them (hands now shifting invisible objects every which way) any way I want. It really makes it much easier to organize."
"Hmm. Very interesting. Would you recommend this to anyone having trouble getting started writing?"
"Huh? Sure. I have told lots of writers to do this."
It was at this point in our conversation that I remembered running into him on the street about twelve years earlier. At the time he told me he was going to a hotel room he had rented to write in. He could have written at home, but found there were far too many distractions so he thought he would be more productive if he had a dedicated writing space. I asked Will if he remembered that.
"Oh, yeah. I had this idea that I'd be incredibly productive if I knew the room was costing me money. The only problem, of course, was there was a television in the room. The first day I just sat there (now he mimes a remote in his hand, his thumb furiously pushing buttons) for hours. I got nothing done. So I called down to the desk and asked to have my cable disconnected. They must have thought I was some kind of crazy artiste, but they said they would do it. I came in the next day and guess what? Someone had just unscrewed the cable from the back of the set! So of course I re-attach it and (the invisible remote is back in his hand, thumb furiously pushing buttons) another day shot. So I have to get them to actually remove the television from the room, which is not easy because the thing is bolted down, but they did it and from then on I could write."
This stuff is gold! Will has practically written my blog for me!
"So, Will, would you say that it is important for the aspiring writer to have a dedicated work space, free of distractions?"
"What? Well, yeah. That's the point."
The soccer practice was wrapping up and I had to go to work. We shook hands and went our separate ways. At the first chance I got I sat down and wrote out the episode and now you are reading it.
Now if I could only arrange some time off work before the snow flies.
