U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood is urging Americans to dream big and believe that we, too, can build a high speed rail system just like those we admire in Europe and Asia. LaHood wrote a piece, originally published in the Orlando Sentinel, in which he touts the benefits of high speed rail – less congestion on roads, reduced carbon emissions and reliance on oil – while also warning that building the infrastructure will take a lot of effort and time. He wrote:
When we look to America's past, it can be easy to forget that America was never predestined to have the world's best highways. Progress only became possible because generations before us dreamed big and built big - because they imagined, invested and sacrificed for the infrastructure on which we rely to this day.
Like our parents and grandparents, we, too, must exercise the foresight and courage to invest in the most important infrastructure projects of our time. If we work together, a national high-speed-rail network can and will be our generation's legacy.
You can read LaHood's full article here.
An added benefit will be the economic stimulation such a massive project will bring. The Obama administration has nicely included a "100 percent Buy America requirement" in its legislation covering high speed rail contracts. In fact, LaHood says, the foreign and domestic manufacturers bidding for contracts have also committed to employing American workers. If a high speed rail system creates jobs, positively impacts the environment, and offers us a reliable transportation option, what's not to like?

Eating & drinkingIn the Netherlands, lunch consists of sandwiches. People also really love French fries or 'patat'. "Bitterballen" – deep-fried balls of spicy stew, which is served with drinks – is a local speciality. But Amsterdam offers much more: you will discover many trendy and modern restaurants with an excellent international cuisine.
De KasThis restaurant is situated in a renovated greenhouse that was built in 1920 and serves ecological haute cuisine. The chef determines the 5-course menu, which is based upon what is available and in consultation with the restaurant's own vegetable cultivator. It is necessary to book some time in advance.
Address: Kamerlingh Onneslaan 3
tram: 9 to Hogeweg.
EnvyHomely charm and minimalism with the latest Italian hors d'oeuvres and delicious wines. The menu of the chef costs €50, but Envy is a delicatessen bar, which means you can also feel free to order a glass of wine and a few tapas.
Address: Prinsengracht 381
tram: 1, 2, 5 to the Spui.
The MansionA very trendy restaurant, bar and club. The restaurant is situated on the first floor and consists of three beautiful spaces and has a relaxed atmosphere. Make a reservation a few weeks in advance.
Address: Hobbemastraat 2
tram: 2, 5 to Hobbemastraat.
OdeonOdeon, an old brewery from the 17th century, has been completely renovated and transformed into a brasserie, restaurant, bar and club, all in one, where cultural events, such as exhibitions and concerts are also organised. Make sure you do not miss the photographic art with a 17th century theme in the cocktail bar. The nightclub is open from Thursday to Sunday.
Address: Singel 460
tram: 1, 2, 5 to Koningsplein.

Code Blue: Pt was breathing, but Dr. pronounced dead - page 2
I have a question: On our Med-Surg floor, we had a 80 year old patient that was A&Ox3. Her nurse had been talking to her, left the room for about 3 minutes, and when she came back, the patient had resp. of about 3 per minute, and... Read More
- 4Feb 23, '08 by elthiaDid she have a pulse after the 2 minutes of compressions?
Was she truly breathing or was it agonal respirations?
(3 breaths a minute, sounds like agonal to me, which could be a sign there was already cerebral ischemia)
What was the pt's admitting diagnosis, underlying history, and cardiac status and her prognosis to begin with?
Was her pacemaker in good condition?
And what was the rhythm on the monitor after compressions?
(If the rhythm showed asystole with pacemaker spikes without capturing a beat...he may have decided to let her go without traumatizing her body more.)
- 3Feb 23, '08 by DutchgirlRNI think the doctor was using his better judgement in this case. You may think he called it too quickly but would proceeding with the code have changed the outcome? Likely not for the better. I think he was being compassionate. I would hope a doctor would do that for me when I'm 80 and have a cardiac arrest.
- 0Feb 24, '08 by KymmiQuote from BugalooI have a question: On our Med-Surg floor, we had a 80 year old patient that was A&Ox3. Her nurse had been talking to her, left the room for about 3 minutes, and when she came back, the patient had resp. of about 3 per minute, and she appeared to be dying.
Code Blue was called, we initiated CPR. We had done about 6 compressions, she had a faint carotid pulse, and was still "gasping". The Code Team arrived, and we told the physician that she still had a few respirations when we arrived (about 3 minutes before he did). She had a pacemaker, and it appeared that it was trying to "kick in" and do it's job.
He looked at her, felt for a radial pulse, and noted that it was faint. About 2 minutes later, he "called it", stating that her pupils were fixed and dilated, and that she had been dead "a while". We tried explaining to him that about 10 minutes prior to all this, she was absolutely fine. He did not listen and left the room.
My question is this? Did this physician pronounce this patient dead too quickly? We all felt very badly after this and felt that the code was not handled well at all. Did we do all we could for this patient, or did we let her die? Personally, because she still had a few respirations, I felt that we should continue, and so did the other nurses, but the doctor has the final word.
If the code team arrived about 3 minutes AFTER you started CPR then I do not understand why only 6 compressions were done and no drugs given while awaiting the code teams arrival. The way I see it even though the patient had a faint pulse and a few respirations without adequate perfusion during those 3 minutes that you and your coworkers found her and initated CPR then she did not receive adequate perfusion to her brain. 3 minutes is a very long time and CPR (compressions, airway and bagging, drugs) should have been given during those 3 minutes and when you say the pacer looking like it was "kicking in" was you seeing pacer spikes with no underlying rhythm? Sounds to me like CPR was not effectively performed prior to the code team getting there so there really was no brain left to think about saving and the MD made the call based on that fact.
Based on the info that I've read I agree that the code was not handled well at all however I do not think it was the MD or code team that mishandled the situation.
I know I wasnt there so I can only see the situation in my head based on the facts written here however I've been to enough codes that I think I have a pretty clear picture of the event.
- 0Feb 24, '08 by BugalooNow that I have had a few days to think about it, I am apt to agree with the doctor. When I review everything in my mind, a few things pop up.
1. The pt's nurse did not immediately start CPR when she found her. She came to the desk and was not sure if she was a DNR or not.
2. The ward clerk took her sweet time calling the code overhead. It was 0600.
3. It is a small rural hospital, and the "Code Team" consists of a nurse and doctor from ER and maybe ICU if available. The house super can come IF they choose too.
4. Very few nurses are ACLS certified and just freak out during a code.
I am a traveler at this hospital, and I have learned that it is very low tech here; classes are not offered for furthering the education of the nurses. The nurses are discouraged from being assertive, so a lot of them just do not care anymore. The nurses here are treated as 2nd class citizens, if that.
I think that the doctor was correct in his judgement. The other nurses do not agree, but they have never seen how codes are run elsewhere, either.
I just wanted to get the input from other nurses, to see what they thought. Thanks so much to those of you who replied.

Review of chapter "Papa Bear" from
Oh yeah yeah I forgot. For some reason SPN and Angel had merged in my mind :)
Comments from author:
SPN and Angel as one show? That would have been pretty cool. For some reason SPN crosses better with the Buffyverse than any other supernatural show.

Review of chapter "Papa Bear" from
Well that was not what I was expecting. Rather amusing though. I'm not sure how reasonable all but one getting away is, but its not that big a deal. It could be two or three in there with SG1 without changing things much. Angel's quest to keep things hidden is of course doomed, and I somehow think that once he starts investigating so is the secrecy of SG1.
Of course that begs the question (new form rather than the older beggars the question) just what does wolf ram and heart think of alien invasions, would they support or oppose the SGC?
Comments from author:
Now, I'm dying of curiosity. What *were* you expecting? Glad you are enjoying it. As for the all but one getting away, it wasn't that SG-1 couldn't manage them... but remember, technically, they have 3 other prisoners already... Anyway, the wolfram and hart guys used magic to get their unconscious team members back. This doesn't occur to anyone b/c SG-1 isn't familiar with magic, and the hunters aren't expecting it from people like the commandos.
Angel attempting to keep Connor hidden from his friends is a stupid idea. I don't know what Angel was thinking. I think Angel's secrets are in much more jeopardy than SG-1's. We will see.
As for what WR&H think of the Ancients and other technologically advanced people's? Well, hey hate competition, don't they?

Review of chapter "Papa Bear" from
Daww, Papa Wolf and Connor Wolf Cub, they're sooo threateningly cute!!. They make my blood chill 'cause of da fear =D xD!!.
I really liked the way Hellen fought; I mean, the hunters were in the fight of their lives, but Hellen proves that you don't need to be a slayer to be a very fearsome female fighter, you just have to fight dirtier than the other guy... and yeah, always follow the golden rule: kick them in the nether regions xD!.
I found very funny, in a dark way, the meeting of two of the most stubborns Papa Wolfs in TV; both John and Angel are willing to do anything to protect their children, too bad they forgot that talking, and listening to their sons goes in the Dad package.
Cool chapter, see ya!!!
Comments from author:
Threateningly cute! Only you, Mc! hehe. Yes, there are a whole bunch of scary people in this story, aren't they? A lot of testosterone, even for Ellen.
I'll let you into a secret. Ellen's probably my favorite character from the series. I wish she'd really been Bobby's wife -- that's an alternate reality I could really get behind! No, she doesn't need to be a slayer to be damn tough. She's simply resourceful and determined and *ruthless*. I'm not huge with the 'kick em in the nuts' business, but the guy *was* trying to kill her.
Glad you saw the humor. Sometimes, I wish I were funnier, but alas, I am great at writing battle scenes, but not so much with comedy, alas. Sometimes I see it as funny, but no one else seems to get the humor. The thing about Buffy and to a lesser extent, Supernatural that I always enjoyed was the ability to laugh in the face of death.
There will be more to the confrontation with Angel and John. Not sure just how it's going to go just yet. The listening thing... yes, they really should try it.

Angel vs. John Winchester? LOVE it!
And I'm seriously enjoying Jack and Connor's "bad cop/worst nightmare cop" routine being played out for the W&H mercenary's benefit. :)
Comments from author:
Thank you! I'm so glad.
Glad you like the Jack and Connor show. Connor has NO idea what he's capable of, but he instinctively channels some very bad stuff... Probably a *good* thing he doesn't remember precisely how dangerous he is.

Review of chapter "Papa Bear" from
Yeah, Connor is the one person Angel would do anything to protect. Anything. This is unlikely to end well. At least the slayers aren't involved in this yet. I could picture Faith showing up, investigating these rumors that Angel has gone bad & is working for Evil Inc.
Connor did pretty well in the fighting. If he had his memories back he'd do even better, of course. Won't be long before the Fang Gang finds out what's happening, probably.
Any chance you can weave the Amber Benson SPN vampire into this? Maybe an ancestor of Tara's, source of that 'demon blood in the family' rumor? Just wondering....
Comments from author:
Yes, Allen... again with all those fabulous thoughts that get my brain going. It's too early for all this thinking!!
Yes, Connor is Angel's obsession, Angel practically sold his soul for Connor to have a life. Nothing that disrupts this is going to be on the receiving end of anything good.
Don't worry, there will be slayers... but not for a while... I don't think Faith believes Angel is evil... but Giles is a whole different story and there are a lot of slayers out there who 'have never dated' Angel, some council indoctrinated.
When Connor finally gets his memories back... yes, he will be one hell of a fighter. He may also have some unwelcome memories.
As for Amber... We'll see. ;-)

Review of chapter "Papa Bear" from
Hmm, no-one wants to talk, on either side. A pity that they don't know it would arguably be better for everyone if they did. Except for maybe John Winchester who still wants to kill Connor. I can't see that going well for him. At least Angel's team are aware of Angel's prisoner though. Maybe they will break him out :)
As for the other prisoner, maybe Carter has some high tech truth telling device. That might still work?
Comments from author:
I usually like it when people talk... but I don't think that John Winchester wants to talk to anyone and I'm not sure Angel is in the mood to listen. John wants to prevent The Destroyer from being part of some evil event... Angel wants to protect Connor at all costs.
No, Angel will *not* take it kindly that this man had/has plans to kill his son. I'm thinking that if the AI gang breaks John Winchester out that bad things will happen *to* the AI gang.
No, I don't think that SG-1 is going to use classified technology on someone untrustworthy. Can you imagine what would happen if the information about something like that became common knowledge?

Review of chapter "Answers and Assassins." from
I think Connor is as strong as a master vampire or his father Angel. He is not strong as a slayer though. Angel once commented that Buffy was stronger then him and was proven on the show Slayers get stronger with age. Explains why Buffy went from breaking handcuffs in the first season to ripping off a steal door in the last. That and wielding a God troll hammer that not even Spike could lift.
Your right that there is something to be said for experience. Connor was really only beaten two times in a straight up fight when he was at his best. Angel beat him more then once when he was trying to kill him. Even though they were roughly equal in strength and speed, Angel won due to his greater skill and experience. Faith also beat him though in that case more due to him being overpowered then skill as Faith is more of a brawler then anything else much like Connor himself.
Two things give Connor an edge in combat. He heals quickly and he is incredibly resistant to blunt force trauma. He was once thrown out of a 6 story building and was able to walk away with nothing but simple bruising. Not to mention being hit by entities much stronger then him such as Jasmine, the Beast, and Marcus Hamilton the demon lawyer and only wind up being stunned for a few seconds to a minute at most.
So all in all Connor would give anyone even someone with more skill a run for their money or by simply pushing past the pain and winning.
Comments from author:
I believe Connor is phenomenally strong, but sadly, raw strength alone is insufficient for certain kinds of fights. I think he can survive just about anything, but that doesn't mean he can't be incapacitated. Remember *Giles* killed Glory -- who was their most fearsome villain... it depends on when you get to a person and how. for one thing, I suspect that unlike his father, he's *not* bullet proof. A flesh wound would heal fast, but a wound to a vital organ could just as easily be fatal to him as to anyone else.
So, yes, in a one on one fight, Connor has a definite edge, but professional fighters seldom fight fair. Life and death fights are generally life and death fights b/c your opponent wants to kill you and is prepared to put him/herself into a dangerous situation to accomplish it.
I got the opinion that Connor was sensitive to things like stun guns... remember when *Fred* and Gunn took him down after they found out what he'd done to Angel? there's a big difference between hunting non sentient monsters and fighting trained fighters with strategies and tactical advantages.
Connor's special. Absolutely. He's fascinating too. What he isn't is invincible. When I go there, I start writing 'Super-Connor' and I don't do 'super' anyone... If he's a person, we can relate to him... if he's a paragon... not so much.
More soon. Hope you will like it. Thank you for your thoughtful review.

Review of chapter "Answers and Assassins." from
Very interesting. I like the way sg1 is concerned but give him the benefit of the doubt. The supernatural people just want him dead on general principles. Talk about bigoted. This is the first story which has grabbed my attention in awhile. Looking forward to the next chapter.
Comments from author:
Glad you are enjoying the SG-1 relationship with Connor... I think it has possibilities, doesn't it? Yes, the old hunters are very bloody-minded. They have more than a little in common with the old Council, don't you think? You fight a fight one way so long, you lose perspective and can't see the trees any more, only a dark dangerous forest... so if one tree is too distinctive, you want to burn it -- b/c it might hide danger.
So very glad that my story has grabbed your attention. I'll do all I can to keep it memorable.. and good.

Hey, my Blue friend! I haven't watched Supernatural since the second season, but you are making me enjoy it anyway. This is a REALLY entertaining story, and I get a great big grin on my face when I see an update. Thanks so much for that!
Comments from author:
thank you so much. I'm so glad you enjoy my version and that it makes you grin! You know, I think I enjoy it more because I was able to watch it in one sitting... well, not in one sitting, but I watched season one through six over the course of weeks and I've decided this is the best way to see some series. Only when you can see the contiguous narrative can you really get into the story and the characters. While some episodes stand alone, SPN is really a soap opera about brothers... the monsters are important b/c the epic of relationship is deeply intertwined with the supernatural arc, but at it's heart, it's a soap opera... I do hope I can do the three universes justice and keep you coming back.

Review of chapter "Answers and Assassins." from
Awesome detail on Connor's abilities. I like how he has no idea what he can do until he does it either! What he can do must be driving Carter crazy! Big call by Sam to stand against his Dad too. I wonder what the prophecy says and what it really means? Pity they don't have Wesley hard won experience with prophecies to give them pause. And now six guys with a heartbeat almost as slow as Connor's? I guess that means they are not vampires but it sounds like they might be a little more than Human too! John Winchester isn't going to be happy if Connor saves him :)
Comments from author:
Thank you very much. I always try to get the detail right... enough without being too babbly... Yes, Carter has a human sized project.
Sam Winchester is at a turning point in his life. It's going to change all his relationships and challenge everything he's learned about life. Yes, Wesley's memories of his prophecy disasters would be quite useful right now. And of course, it's a prophecy against Angel's son. Remember the LAST time someone got on the wrong side of a prophecy about Angel's son?
six guys... may just be the tip of the iceberg. They are definitely not vampires.
I promise you John Winchester is in for a world of hurt and 'unhappy'. Should be interesting... should be fun... for me to write anyway... my characters... not so much with the fun thing.

Rated 3 out of 5 by Jimmya Not up to expectations Barely able to maintain an internet connection even after IT came up to help. No toilet paper. One of the towels was folded and put back dirty. Drain in the tub was slow to empty. Premium TV channel was not available. I've stayed here 4 or 5 times before with no problems so I hope this was just a bad week (though 4 of my 10 business associates had a similar experience this trip. Not what I expected for the price charged. February 21, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by B4sugar Not what we had previously experienced The hotel was very very loud from both inside and outside the room. It was like people were moving furniture all night and morning. The floor in front of the dresser was damp, room felt musty, and ants or beds crawling on the night stand. Came in on NYE at 12:15 with two sleeping children in arms to get upstairs and our keys deactivated. Went to front desk who said they fixed but still didn't work!! We let a day early! January 3, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by Faye Excellent Staff! This was my third stay. The staff is excellent and are the heroes of our event as it relates to service. They were all friendly and seemed really determined to make the stay a great one. The same can be said for the two prior stays. The quality of the room was not as it use to be. The tub was terribly clogged, the lights in the bedroom didn't work and were never fixed, the curtain was torn, and the carpet was dirty. April 8, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by Frequenttraveler Hotel is great for someone on business trip The room that we stayed in had a floor that was wet, as if it had been flooded and wasn't finished drying yet. There were no other rooms available so we had to stay in that room. It also wasn't that clean. The front desk did provide me with cleaning supplies so that I could clean the bathroom. The carpet throughout the hotel is stained. The buffet breakfast is basic. Wasn't always stocked well on days that were busy. March 21, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by EMan6185 Hotel Website - False Advertising! Website said Club level lounge was fully functional. Upon arrival, find out lounge in construction. As a Platinum member, no access/availability to breakfast daily, no evening hoerdures, no 24/7 access to water as usually expected @ Starwood hotels. Hotel only offered breakfast coupons for 1 day only. At a minimum, the website should have said lounge under construction. Very disappointed in this hotel's staff. February 16, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by Robin623 This hotel was a disappointment this year! I have been to this same hotel for the past 5 years for spring break with my daughter only this year it was very dissappointing. We had no hot water and the air conditioning was not cooling off the room. After two nights of not sleeping, we changed rooms. The air worked better in the second room but still not as good as it should have worked. We did however get hot water. Very disappointing stay this time around. April 1, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Floridatraveler Comfortable bed This hotel had a comfortable bed and nice pillows. It also has a nice lobby and water way with Koi and turtles. On the down side, there is no internet access available in the room and I needed a bath towel and wash cloth and after 2 phone calls to the front desk and waiting an hour, I went and got them myself so I could shower and go to bed. This wasn't as good an experience as I've had at previous hotel stays. February 18, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Doug108 The suites are spacious and stylish The concept for this all-suite hotel is a fine one. The stylishly decorated rooms have a good design: a separate BR with TV; plus a LR and dining area, with another TV. My particular room was in need of new carpet as it had unfortunate multiple stains. Moreover, there was only trash can for the 2 rooms and BR. However, the AARP price I found online was a genuine bargain, so all in all, I was happy with my stay. December 20, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by Fladoc3 Lousy hotel beds gave me sore back both mornings after getting up. Same with my buddy in his own bed.. Came back to room 2nd day and ONE towel in bath. Called down to get more towels . 2 hours later NO towels so went to dek to get towels. 2nd morning only 1 coffee pack to get coffee. Most suite type hotels have free coffee in lobby or even a small free breakfast ,got NOTHING. Will never stay in a Sheraton Suite again. June 10, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Cintidz A nice hotel in a nice neighborhood The reviews online suggest that this is a special place, it has an indoor hotel atrium with Florida fauna that could be anywhere in the country if you ignore the location correct rocks and plants. Close your eyes, hop on the bed and the hotel room feels like.... a hotel room. perfectly good, but not unique. do you want the comfort of a predictably clean and comfortable room then this is the place for you. February 13, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Greg Very Nice Hotel I have stayed at this hotel several times this past year the last time 02/06/13 - 02/11/13. It easily accessible from I-95. The hotel staff are extremely friendly and go out of their way to see to your comfort. The public areas and rooms are quite clean. The only negative I found was the Wifi charge of $10.00 per day in the room. I plan on returning again in April. Thank you Sheraton Suites Cypress Creek! February 16, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by KKP1 Once it gets a makeover... This hotel is very consistent...the FD service is consistent friendly...the room and fitness center is consistently in need of renovation. I applaud the restaurant for trying new items on their buffet and a new set up, however the service is spotty. They seem to be very friendly until they realize you are using a voucher for breakfast - then the smile fades as does their presence around your table . June 12, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Barbie Rude Desk help We stayed this last weekend and they charged my credit card twice and tell me they did not... which made several of my bills to be rejected and over draft fees on top of that. I tried to explain and they advised they did nothing wrong. My bank ask them to call to have overcharge taken care of and they NO. Very nasty. Will not recommend to the rest of out dance group again and that's alot of people. May 13, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by pgreene22 this hotel is extremely disappointing This was my 3rd stay at this hotel and it will be my last. The air conditioning was not working in my room. The previous 2 years the temperature in the room was ridiculously hot. When I called down to the front desk regarding the a/c they told me that they would send someone up to my room to check it out. I waited 3 hours and no one came up, I then called back downstairs to which someone then came up put his hand over the vent and informed me the a/c was being worked on outside and it would not be working for a few days. Why wasn't I told that when I originally called downstairs the first time or even the 2nd time! The service at the lobby bar was so TERRIBLE! One night I sat there for 10 minutes before anyone even acknowledged me! The tv in the room was awuful...it kept dropping the channel with no signal! Overall terrible, terrible, stay...I would NEVER recommend this hotel to anyone. January 14, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by Cyndirae This hotel needs updated and new staff I was shocked at how outdated the hotel is, it has great potential if updated and new staff. I was suppose to have internet but never had it. Both TV's did not work the staff just told me to unplug a couple times and replug them in! (After I walked down because they did not answer the phone) I did get one to turn on after about an hour. Their was no information regarding their pool or so called fitness center etc. I took pictures of the dirty tub - disgusting and the disgusting wallpaper. When I was checking out I asked for the mangers name and was speaking to the only person working with any customer service manners and he kept getting interrupted by a worker. He finally told the work he was with someone and she told him well fine I will not do this for you then in a nasty voice and walked away. That's part if their problem. Shocked they are under the Sheraton name. I will never stay their again! March 30, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by SJUROB Bad first Impression I expected better for the rate I paid and it being a Sheraton property. Room was dusty, TV did not work, missing remote, shower clogged, noisy, to much light comint in with window curtains completely closed, elevators extremely closed and all being used by cleaning staff delaying guest use. I would not stay at this property again, could have gotten much better with rate I paid. April 28, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Smith5000 Exceeded Expectations This hotel is beautiful having a Spanish Theme and central Live Plant Solarium that is calming. Besides the views as the pool/hot tube are large likened bluish, torquois jewels. This would not be possible without the staff who makes the deal with their friendliness, hard work and timeliness from the front desk, to the waitress/bartender, and the housekeeper. They take pride which is rarity today. February 13, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by RamiK SAD STATE Worst hotel experience of my life as I expected better from a Sheraton. Dirty rooms. Some staff doesn't care. No real opportunity to fix. The place needs new carpet, new paint, deep cleaning and staff that doesn't make excuses. I heard numerous visitors complain while I was there. I shortened my stay and took my family to the Weston on the other side of the freeway. My sister cancelled her stay. January 4, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by Mark67 Disappointment at a declining property We've stayed at this Sheraton several times in the past. This time our extended family reserved five rooms. The bathroom shower curtails are too small and water leaks on the floor. There is also mold in the shower area. One night we did not receive bath towels and called three times before going to the desk to pick some up. (the manager finally gave us 1/2 of a night's stay gratis). The breakfast buffet is not much more than what one gets for free at other hotels but this one is over-priced. I just took out one glass each of orange juice and milk and the waiter only charged me for the juice ($4.75!) with the apology that other people have protested the high charge in the past so he just charged for one item. The bed and room were comfortable and the swimming pool and lobby are nice but we have our qualms about returning. Seems like each time we are told that they are about to revamp rooms. July 2, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by V2013 January stay Hotel staff was very friendly and helpful. Room was dated with stained carpet and bathroom that showed its age. Housekeeping was not great. There was a clothing sticker left on the floor from a previous guest and it was still there after room was cleaned. Breakfast buffet in meeting room had what appeared to be fruit flys all around. Room service delivery person provided excellent service. February 2, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by Travelagent Could be better I made my reservations with the clear understanding the hotel lobby was under renovations but the rooms were completed. The rooms look like they were updated but the furniture was beat up. The night stands and dresser were badly chipped and scratched. There was lite dust on the louvers and spots on the furniture that should have been wiped. No dirty laundry bag and poor TV reception. March 24, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by Melanieanne47 Trains, planes and construction, oh my! I was expecting some construction, but not until 11pm. The trains came through at midnight, 2am, 4 am and 6:30 am. The room did not block ANY of that noise. Then, the planes began to fly over.... At that point, I gave up sleeping. I would have tried to stay an extra day to sleep so I wouldn't be driving so tired, but knew that the noise from the trains would make that impossible. February 23, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by GMan Good, But not Great...... The loby is really nice. LOVED the Atrium, with it's manmade waterfall and stream, and the Koi Fish and Turtles. Then - got to my room! YIKES! Yes, it WAS a SUITE, as promised, but... Had worn, used looking furniture, lightbulb in B/R burned out, sink in seperate area from bathroom, Had those stupid energy saving bulbs, too! NEVER bright enough. Restaurant service was poor, at best. June 11, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by CLoo Once was a great property? Upon arrival only 1 person was tending the front desk. There were only 3 people in front of me but all seemed to have issues so it took 20 minutes. Bed was SUPER comfy but the room had a strange smell-looked clean, but did not smell clean. I wasn't there long-in at 10:30PM, out at 6AM. Lobby /atrium looked beautiful but it seems like the hotel needs some TLC and was once a premium property. Everything just seemed "tired." The sink in the bedroom seemed "jerry-rigged" and exposed pipes underneath looked awkward and unstable. Elevators were extremely slow. Carpet by the door was worn out. One other small thing-at check-in - I asked if there was a place to buy a bottle of water-I was directed to the gift shop at 10:55 and it closed at 11. Much to the dismay of the shopkeeper I wanted to buy a bottle of water. When I finally got to my room - there was a complimentary bottle of water waiting on the counter. March 22, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by haidee77 First Impression My family and I were greeted by Ashley and I'd say it set the standard for our visit. Although there was some staff that were not great, Ashley's service was so exceptional that I overlooked some of the shortfalls that the hotel had. July 10, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by lezord Facilities totally unsatisfactory This, without doubt, the worst experience at a Sheraton facility: there was a guest in the first room I was given the second room I was given did not appear to have had the linen changed bedskirt under tucked under mattress and very wrinkled pillow cases inside out asked for housekeeping to deliver clean sheet - they never came to room due to lateness of hour, I slept in my clothes January 30, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by nvhonour Comfy beds I loved the beds! Very comfortable. Shower was great. Robes in closet a nice touch. Had to wait longer than I expected for an evening room service order, but other than that pleasant stay. July 16, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by BrokenBed The bed was Horrible I have traveled in business for the past 30 years all over the country. The bed in room 239 is the worst bed I have ever spent the night in. It appears that the box sprind is broken. I asked at the front desk if there were rooms with firm beds and rooms with soft beds. I was told they are all about the same and they would deliver a bed board to the room. That never happended February 8, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by Cclam71 My Review The stay was pleasant. The room fridge was not very cold. The breakfast for the $20 additional dollars was not really worth the extra money. The juices were not cold and there was no ice available. Our children tried to call our cell phone and we were charged for 2 phone calls that had not even 10 seconds of lapse time. A little disappointed this year. April 28, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by ajb1 Bad Customer Service Twice I booked a client at this hotel and both times when the client arrived they were told the hotel was sold out. I then had to call the hotel work it out. But i already looked like a fool to my client. July 11, 2014

Five Cape Town Banting Restaurants to TryBanting. If you haven't yet heard of the concept, then you clearly haven't been out in the big wide world in a while because everyone is talking about it and everyone knows someone who is on the banting (essentially meaning low carb, high fat) diet (or eating plan). But sometimes it's a mission to cook up a banting storm, so it's nice to know where you can go to get a decent meal that won't push you off the banting wagon. Here are some Cape Town spots that either fully cater for banting customers or offer the option on the menu.

I posted a couple months ago about altering vintage dishes and a dilemma I had. I'd purchased new dishes for the store without looking at the maker's mark on the back because they were so pretty. When I checked the mark once I came home, I noticed they were 121 years old and I had almost the entire set of dishes.
So I didn't alter it right away. I unpacked them and put them in my cabinet and I've left them there while I figure out what to do with them. Keeping them was my first choice but most of my friends didn't want to touch them out of fear of breaking something and I have a thing against keeping dishes I don't actually use.
I briefly thought about putting them piecemeal on ebay, but that didn't seem right either.
I ended up contacting the Warrensburg Historical Society and someone came over to look at the dishes. My dishes will now be a donation to the historical society and they will be on display for a while. The Historical Society may sell them at a later date which is totally okay with me. I'm happy with whatever they decide to do with the dishes.

The debate
Some mention low intensity exercise is ideal to burn fat, while some mention which significant intensity exercise is the greatest! Both camps are extremely passionate about their views and dispute strongly they are right. Who is proper? I will explain to you, and explain why.
You require to ask the proper Question - Burn Fat or Lose Weight?
Do you need to burn fat or get in shape? There is a difference. A huge difference. If you wish To burn fat, then low intensity exercise has been proven conclusively to burn a higher percentage of fat than significant intensity exercise. However should you want to lose weight,
Why Does Low to Mid-Intensity Exercises Burn More Fat?
The best fat burning exercises are low to medium intensity exercises which use fat as a energy source to electricity the muscles. These are aerobic exercises which basically use oxygen and fat for power. High intensity exercise is known as anaerobic exercise where carbohydrate is the preferred energy source. Fat is harder to access promptly by the body, compared to carbohydrate, thus fat is not effectively burnt throughout intense efforts.
High intensity workouts use glycogen (carbohydrate) as a energy source. Carbohydrate is stored inside the muscles and person and is the initial energy source called on by the body for intense efforts. But, there is not a large quantity of the glycogen energy source, and if the intensity of the exercise is continued, the shops are run promptly. A byproduct called lactic acidic is yielded. Lactic acidic causes the burning feeling inside the muscles when we push yourself too hard and for too lengthy.
Why Is High Intensity Exercise Better For Weight Loss?
High intensity exercise burns more calories. A calorie is a measure of your energy. If you burn more calories everyday than we consume, we get in shape. It is as easy as which. High intensity exercise over a given period burns more calories than low intensity exercise. You can burn a lower percentage of fat, however you burn more calories, and will lose more fat as a happen.
High intensity training will equally increase the metabolism, resulting in fat shops being broken down following exercise has stopped to replenish the carbohydrate shops inside the muscles. So you're losing fat actually once you stop exercising.
New Research Shows How to Lose Weight 3 Times faster
A latest study done by the University of New South Wales on 45 obese folks, figured significant intensity interval training promotes fat loss as much as three times faster than simple aerobic training. The research equally showed which we only require to exercise for half the amount of time! For the entire information on the study and the interval training exercise course, refer to the link under.
What are the number one exercises to burn fat?
So now we have the theory from the way, what is the number one exercise to burn fat? Well, it must enable you to exercise in the low to mid-range intensity degree without fluctuating too much. You need to equally have the ability to conveniently monitor the middle rate to control the effort and remain in your optimal fat burning middle rate range. These are some of the best exercises to achieve these objectives:
The interior exercise exercises are great since you can do them inside a controlled environment. You don't require to stress about the weather, what people are doing, or being held up at traffic lights. It is equally thus far easier to determine the middle rate, should you don't have a middle rate monitor.

Beyond The Garden Gate

With two
acclaimed seven-inches under their belt, The Mantles
answer the call for more with a stunning debut LP sure
to please all who cross its path. The Mantles have been
dead-on in distilling a contemporary pop / psych
concoction that mixes equal parts early Chills with
early Dream Syndicate--and really, who among us wouldn't
want a bottle of that with which to quietly tipple the
day away?
Recorded by Greg Ashley, the LP taps said hybrid, and if
anything, burrows deeper into the core of rock,
extracting essential magma that fuses early SF Ballroom
psychedelia, Byrds-ian jangle-pop, and the Velvet
Underground's extraordinary ability for serpentine leads
and bridges. And yep, that pretty much covers all the
bases. Look for the band to embark on their first US
tour in September, supporting Ty Segall coast to coast.
"... a vibe somewhere between the crisp gauze of Midwest
groups associated with the early-'80s garage revival (Vertebrats,
Plasticland, etc.) and the mysto-stroke of late-'80s New
Zealand." --Byron Coley, The Wire
"... really stokes the node in its uncanny similarity to
old-school Paisley Underground--you know, before it had
been so sadly tagged. The strains, strums, and streams
that permeate so lost and wonderfully ... remind my
tired soul of early Leaving Trains, The Last, as well as
the roster that made up Steve Wynn's Down There label."

The Tempe Diablos Soccer Classic usually sets the tone for the coming high school season.
If that holds true again, the Central Region will have a stranglehold on 5A-I and Phoenix Mountain Pointe just may be the team to beat.
Spencer Thompson scored two goals for the third straight night to lead the Pride past Ahwatukee (and region) rival Phoenix Desert Vista 2-0 on Friday night in the boys championship game at Tempe Sports Complex.
"We had a lot of doubts coming into this tournament," Thompson said. "With all the new players, we weren't sure how the season was going to go. We have fought back. We never give up."
Mountain Pointe "rallied" for the second straight night. The Pride (6-1) trailed 2-1 to another Central Region team, Tempe Corona del Sol, at halftime of Thursday night's semifinal. But the two-time defending state champion Thunder (4-3) controlled much of the first half of the final.
"We were very fortunate (Thursday) night, Corona is real tough," Mountain Pointe coach Bryan Sabato said. "Region play this year is going to be a dogfight."
The Pride started to push the ball more late in the first half and into the second half and finally got their reward in the 50th minute.
Thompson, who spent much of the night trying to create chances along with teammates Darren Ng and John Kierstead, was making a run toward the Desert Vista goal when Sean McNabb was whistled for a foul on Thompson just outside the goal box.
Thompson drilled the 22-yard free kick, curling the ball to the left of Thunder goalkeeper Kyle Orne for the first score.
"We don't always win pretty, but we win," Sabato said. "Right now we are not a pretty soccer team. But we weathered the storm. We are very opportunistic. We have to find a way to gut these games out."
In the 63rd minute, freshman Brandon Hansen found Thompson streaking along the right side of the box and Thompson fired home a shot from about 10 yards to help secure the victory.
"I think it's not as much was what we didn't do, it's about what they did do," Desert Vista coach Mike Rabasca said. "They had a great tournament. What's good about it is that Central Region seems pretty strong still. So it speaks a lot for the region and I think that will be reflected when playoff time comes around."
The Thunder had several chances, getting a half-dozen shots on goal that were stopped by Pride keeper Kyle Pearsall. But Desert Vista midfielders McNabb and Chris Hicks couldn't get the final piece of a successful run. Zack Bower and Adam Farrer also contributed to the attack but even some of the better opportunities went awry.
Less than two minutes into the second half, Hicks' left-footed corner kick bounced around in front of Pearsall but none of the Thunder players could put it in the net.
Desert Vista's best chances came in the first 30 minutes.
Farrer missed just high and wide in the ninth minute and Hicks found Michael Prindle in front of the goal in the 18th minute to no avail.

Recent developments in research cast doubt on early conceptions of young children as primarily egocentric and uncaring of others' needs. Studies reviewed indicate a broad range of social competencies children bring to their interpersonal relationships. As early as 2 years of age, they show (a) the cognitive capacity to interpret, in simple ways, the physical and psychological states of others, (b) the emotional capacity to experience, affectively, the state of others, and (c) the behavioral repertoire that permits the possibility of attempts to alleviate discomfort in others. Both temperament and environment may contribute to individual differences in concern for others. Early socialization experiences that lead to adaptive and maladaptive patterns of responsiveness to others' needs are described. Examples of environmental risk conditions include parental depression, marital discord, parental maltreatment. Implications of this work for broadening existing conceptualizations of empathy and related prosocial orientations are addressed.

Boeing Statement On U.S. National Transportation Safety Board 787 Investigation Update
SEATTLE, Jan. 24, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Boeing (NYSE: BA) welcomes the progress being made in the 787 investigation discussed today by the U.S. National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) in Washington, D.C.

Packing - http://itunes.apple.com/za/app/packing-to-do!/id294710480?mt=8
Whether you're travelling for business or leisure one of the toughest things to master is packing. Trying to coordinate exactly what to pack is draining. And you just have to do it all over again the next time. With the iPhone packing app you can create packing lists and check off the items as they go into the suitcase. You can save your lists for future travels and use it to make sure you have everything in your case when it is time to go home.
XE Currency - http://itunes.apple.com/za/app/xe-currency/id315241195?mt=8

Flight Tracker - http://flightaware.com/mobile/iphone
Check the status of your flight before you leave for the airport with Flight Tracker. Real time information on cancellations, departures, delays and gate assignments can be viewed on this app
Google Translate - http://itunes.apple.com/za/app/google-translate/id414706506?mt=8
With over 50 languages on the Google Translate app you can translate text by speaking into the phone or have it displayed on screen.
Where - https://market.android.com/details?id=com.ulocate&hl=en
Known as the Swiss army knife of GPS apps, Where uses your location to give you a real-time perspective on weather forecasts, restaurant recommendations, news headlines and more. It will even find you the nearest Starbucks.
Star Translate - http://www.androlib.com/android.application.com-starobject-android-startranslate-pt.aspx
Just like the iPhone app, Star Translate is both a translator and dictionary based on Google Translate. The programme will also read out the text for you and keeps a history of your translation requests for you.
With apps for GPS navigation, currency conversions, language translators, CPR instructions and flight tracking capabilities, the smart phone and its growing collection of apps is currently one of the hottest developments in travel technology. But while there are thousands of different apps in the marketplace, some of which are free, one point to keep in mind is the overall cost of downloading too many, particularly if they're not useful.
Please note however that some of these apps may have capabilities for selected countries only and downloading costs may apply.
