72 Guidebook for Developing and Leasing Airport Property the base value of airport assets. Land leases for commercial nonaeronautical uses should be based on current market rate comparables. Airside land, aeronautical facilities, and hangar rates should be based on comparable facilities at surrounding airports with similar attributes. In order to accurately value land and facilities, benchmarking of airports of similar size and with similar infrastructure (runway length, instrument approaches, security, and air traffic control for exam- ple), should be used in a consistent manner. The same benchmarked airports are tracked over time for comparative purposes. The appraisals and benchmark rates should be used as guidelines for the airport to determine baseline rates that can be subsequently adjusted as new information becomes available. The airport may vary its lease rates depending upon size, function, location, and level of improvements to the land and the facilities being leased. For example, the rental price of a build- ing or hangar may vary based on size, amenities, location, access, condition, construction, and allowable use by the airport. Likewise, the airport may want to vary land lease rates based upon factors such as the magnitude of the project, the synergistic effect the project may have on other tenants and/or future development, airside versus landside location, availability of utilities, and access (from both the airside and the landside). The airport may also adjust lease rates below established baseline rates if the tenant provides additional airport revenue through other sources, such as fuel sales or percentage of gross rev- enue. The airport should consider modifications to rental rates that include a percentage of gross sales, depending on the type of business being conducted. Similarly, the airport might consider land leases that require a percentage of any profit be paid to the airport on the sale of leasehold improvements or equity. Regardless of the rate-setting methodology used, the airport sponsor should create a transparent process for all stakeholders to see and understand. Once transparency is established, the airport sponsor can clearly outline the rationale and justification for its rates and charges, placing itself in a defensible posture that will either hold up to stakeholder criticism or that can be adjusted for broad acceptance by the aviation community. 6.2.4 Lease Term Determination The Airport Leasing Policy document should consider appropriate lease lengths. Land leases are routinely set at 20- to 30-year terms; lease terms beyond this length may be limited by local or state statutes. Provisions for the extension of a land lease should be included in the lease agree- ment and outline the requirements that must be met before the lessee is allowed to extend the lease, preferably contingent upon the lessor's concurrence and approval, by periods of 5 to 10 years. These extensions of the lease are considered addendums to the original lease document with all covenants and provisions of the original remaining in effect. The length of a lease and the ability to extend the lease term is an important consideration for potential tenants who will be making substantial investment in improvements that will need to be amortized over a number of years. It is important to consider the useful life of the improvements and the size of the tenant's invest- ment when negotiating length of term. Risk and reward should also be given due consideration. If improvements are very specialized, the developer may need a longer lease term than normal. Without knowing the exact functional life of the improvements, or how the niche industry might change and make the improvements functionally obsolete, the developer may require a buffer of term length to ensure that sufficient time exists to repay the debt and make a reasonable profit. 6.2.5 Reversion Best practices for leasing and developing airport property include reversion of improvements back to the airport sponsor at the termination of the lease. Therefore, the lease must be long enough

Cubs will be on lookout for possible Marlins sign-stealing
PHILADELPHIA — At least two major league advance scouts have noticed with suspicious eyes that the Marlins are batting 30 points higher at home than on the road.
Former Marlins Justin Ruggiano and John Baker give credit to the Marlins' improved offense, but Baker intimated the Cubs would take precautionary measures before Monday night's series opener.
"We'll have to make sure there aren't more extra cameras going in, but we'll take a look when we get there," Baker said Sunday. "I don't think there is (any sign stealing). We do change our signs a lot."
The Marlins, who were last in the National League in hitting last year with a .231 average, are batting .275 at home and .245 on the road.
Ruggiano cited the health of slugger Giancarlo Stanton, the emergence of former Cubs infielder Casey McGehee — whom Ruggiano called an All-Star — the experience of Reed Johnson and the development of Christian Yelich as reasons for the improvement.
"We were last in everything," recalled Ruggiano, who played the last two seasons with the Marlins. "No excuses. The rest of the guys have figured out just to put the ball in play more, and good things happen."
Selective swinging: Rookie third baseman Mike Olt wasn't in the lineup despite homering Saturday as manager Rick Renteria continues to find favorable matchups.
One statistic Olt needs to improve is hitting in less favorable counts. He's 0-for-13 with eight strikeouts on 0-2 counts and 6-for-17 (.353) with five home runs after the count is 2-0.
"Once he does get into a particular count in a hitter's situation, he trusts himself," Renteria said.
No rush: Arodys Vizcaino remains on a conservative schedule despite his success at Double-A Tennessee and glimpses of brilliance in spring training.
Vizcaino, who missed the last two seasons because of right elbow surgeries, has yet to pitch in consecutive games for Tennessee, where he has a 2.84 ERA in 13 appearances with 14 strikeouts in 122/3 innings.
Renteria said when Vizcaino has been cleared to pitch in consecutive games, he will be under a pitch count.
"It's the right thing to do, regardless of what our bullpen situation is," Renteria said. "When you're monitoring guys and making sure they come through healthy, the prudent thing to do is make sure they're good."Copyright © 2014, Chicago Tribune

So, you have just learned of the pregnancy loss of a friend, a relative, a co-worker or an acquaintance. You want to offer an appropriate response, but you're not sure what that might be. In this blog we'll look at the considerations you'll want to keep in mind as you offer a comforting response.
A number of readers of my most recent blog have written to me, asking how to respond when learning of a pregnancy loss. You have acknowledged the awkwardness of not knowing what is the "right thing" to say, as well as the lack of familiarity with what the term pregnancy loss might encompass. And you are aware that, all too often, the world just turns its head when learning of a pregnancy loss. There may have been no bulging abdomen, no sonogram being passed around, maybe not even a public announcement of the pregnancy. Or there may have been all of these things plus more. What is missing in both circumstances is any ritual whereby comfort can be extended to the grieving couple. There are no Hallmark cards, no funerals, no gravestones, no memories to be shared among the mourners. Only a void. And it is into this void that you may decide to venture, with the hope that you are able to offer some support and comfort.

It tastes like ribena to me?!
1 carrots
3 sticks celery
2 green (granny smith) apples
4 large beetroots, or 3 small ones.
Juice it all, give it a stir, admire the heavenly colour then glug it down, mmm.
No responses to "Rawbena"
Submitted by magic_glitter on March 9, 2008 - 3:57pm.
Nice! I did read you shouldn't juice more than 1 beet at a time though, because they're such potent detoxifiers. They cause the liver to purge bile and too many beets can make some people sick. But I think I'll try this with just one beet and a few more carrots instead :)
Submitted by chriscarlton on October 24, 2007 - 5:29am.
Yeah, that's where I got the idea from. I got one from my local juice bar and have been making it at home every day since!

Awesome, I have a juice bar just down the road. I will ask for this combo next time!

April 29, 2011-–Senomyx, Inc. (NASDAQ: SNMX), a company focused on using proprietary taste receptor-based technologies to discover novel flavor ingredients for the food, beverage, and ingredient supply industries, today provided a corporate update and reported financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2011. Revenues were $8.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011, a 13% increase compared to 2010. Net loss was $1.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011, a 29% improvement compared to 2010.
"We are off to a strong start in 2011," stated Kent Snyder, Chief Executive Officer of the Company. "Our partners continue to make good progress with their commercialization activities, and we continue to advance our Discovery & Development programs. In addition, Senomyx has maintained a strong balance sheet with approximately $66 million in cash as of March 31 st.
"We are especially encouraged by Firmenich's activities with S6973, which allows sucrose to be reduced in products by up to 50% while maintaining the taste of natural sugar desired by consumers," Snyder said. "Firmenich has produced commercial quantities of S6973 and they expect to record their first commercial sale to a major-brand customer during the second quarter. These activities are concurrent with Firmenich's sales of S2383, which can be used in numerous products to enable up to a 75% reduction in the concentration of sucralose, and in some applications also improves taste.
"As we announced earlier this week, Senomyx was very pleased to have been granted a U.S. patent that includes composition claims covering S2383 and its analogs. S2383 has unique attributes regarding its function and taste characteristics that make it a valuable asset for the Company. The new patent was issued on April 19, 2011 and has a term through June 8, 2027. In addition to providing IP protection and exclusivity in the marketplace for a long period of time, the patent is an important validation of our research capabilities," Snyder noted.

Frustratingly inconsistent hitters
Final stats may look good, getting there is another matter
Yeah, right, forget that. We want steady production from our hitters. We expect that when we check our team box scores each morning, we'll see plenty of 2-for-4 games, maybe some ribbies, a homer or three from our team, a steal, etc. For those of us who check our teams daily, seeing an aggregate .118 team batting average for a night can ruin our day -- or at least the next five minutes.
When we look at the past seven days and see Jason Kubel or Hunter Pence going 2-for-24 in a week? &*#%@$# (Not sure how it became that weird symbols meant swear words, but you know what I mean). And then we see our team slip another week, so we check the "past 14 days," and we see 7-for-46 next to that guy, and we're ready to send the guy on the next ferry to Alcatraz.
So does a 13-for-26 the following week make us forget all that? Does one great week erase the memory of two bad weeks? It should; that all adds up to a .278 average, which won't hurt you even in most mixed leagues. But it's tough to wipe out opinions of a player so quickly, especially when we don't have that big-picture perspective.
I mean, picture yourself in one of those studios in which they zap you for every wrong answer (like what Peter Venkman does in the movie "Ghostbusters"). The prize would have to be mighty good for most of us to sit through multiple buzzes just for the possibility of getting the next one right. We'd walk away immediately, right? Because who knows when the next correct answer will come? Or if it will ever come? I'd rip that electrode off, call it a failed experiment, grab some fast food and go home and watch "Family Guy."
I want to do the same with a handful of big-name players on my teams -- often -- but I know better. Three of the many tidbits of knowledge we at ESPN have passed along: 1) Have patience; 2) Don't overreact to a small sample size; and 3) Don't trade a stud when his value is down. You just have to ride it out, because said hitter has shown he can make up for slumps quickly and completely.
Besides, some players are just that way; they slump and struggle and look like chumps, and then voila! They play like MVPs for a series or a week. And then it's back to slumping. It can be maddening, it can make you say weird symbols. But as long as you keep the big-picture perspective and leave 'em be, they'll pay off in the end. In essence, you just have to think about fast food and "Family Guy" when you're getting that zap.
That said, it doesn't hurt to know who those hitters are. Here are 10 players I've found to be the most frustrating to own this season, for inconsistency alone (not injury):
Adam Lind, OF, Blue Jays: Yeah, I can see his owners nodding their heads right now. You know the guy can go through some mean dry spells. I mean, the guy is hitting .303, and nearly a third of his games have been oh-fers (he's a combined 0-for-75 in 21 of his 64 games). But when he's on, he's on. He has had a six-RBI game this season, a five-RBI game and two four-RBI games, which means he has accounted for 19 of his 46 RBIs in just three of his 64 games. Guess you just have to wait for the big games.
Ian Stewart, 3B, Rockies: You know I love the guy, but maybe it's because I've seen too many of his good ones. In nine select games this season, totaling 34 at-bats, Stewart has 10 homers and 28 RBIs. In the other 51 games and 127 at-bats, he has two homers and six RBIs. What's worse, he has sprinkled these games in every 10 days or so -- they're not all in a consistent block -- just to tease us. Oh well, what you can expect from a guy who hit .432 last July, and then hit .139 in September.
Pedro Feliz, 3B, Phillies: He has long been known for going quiet for weeks at a time, then having a hot week. What's frustrating with him -- what has always been frustrating with him -- is that you don't have an inkling when the hot week will come. Even his road/home splits have been very close since he joined the Phils. In this case, his streakiness might make him unownable.
Hunter Pence, OF, Astros: His month-by-month averages in 2008: .260-.346-.200-.294-.223.-302. His month-by-month averages in 2009: .282-.388-.229. My response: (Shrugging my shoulders).
Dan Uggla, 2B, Marlins: Uggla is the epitome of inconsistency, as his owners know. And his slumps tend to drag on and on. You don't know when he'll heat up because last year he hit righties much better than lefties and hit slightly better on the road than at home, but this year those splits have reversed completely. Yet consider this: In his first three big league seasons, Uggla's year-by-year homers have gone 27-31-32, and his year-by-year RBIs have gone 90-88-92. Deal with the slumps, OK?
Bengie Molina, C, Giants: He already has had a .329 April and a .200 May (and he's back over .300 in June), and that matches his 2008 inconsistency. In fact, he went almost two months without a homer last season and still ended up with 16. But look at those year-by-year numbers, and you see a lot of consistency.
Jason Kubel, OF, Twins: The batting average has remained semi-consistent, but the homers come and go. For instance, he hit just one in May and has hit six already this month. He went more than a month without a homer last season, but still finished with 20. And finally, I'll note that 14 of his 37 RBIs this season have come in just three games. He has played 58 games. But when the matchup is right with this guy, he can blow up.
Andre Ethier, OF, Dodgers: Do I even need to say anything here? I mean, his owners know the guy can be flammable then frigid. In fact, in his past nine months of baseball, he has hit between .225 and .300 in just three of those months. In the other six, he has been better than .300 or below .225. But if you're forced to guess when he'll slump, I'd have to say it would be during a week on the road in which he faces a lot of lefties.

Fortunes Rising
Casey McGehee, 2B/3B, Brewers: He's finally getting a chance to play regularly -- or was, before he suffered a knee/ankle injury that will set him down for a few more days -- and he's doing his part, hitting .338. But expecting this hot hitting to continue is unreasonable. The 26-year-old rookie has never hit above .300 in the minors. In fact, he's a career .279 hitter down there, and he's a big-college kid, so it's not like that included a bunch of developmental years. Also not good: He has just seven steals in 698 minor league games. Ken Macha told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel he's not ready to commit to McGehee, and you shouldn't be, either.
Tony Gwynn Jr., OF, Padres: I have to say it warmed my heart to hear Tony Gwynn Sr. in the broadcast booth the other day talking about his son, who has been playing well for the home-town team. After all, it's almost Father's Day, and I'm a father. "Lil' Tony" has hit .316 since joining the Padres ... but this is not a story that will end well for fantasy owners. He has just two RBIs in 76 at-bats, and just two steals (with three times caught). In other words, he's batting average-dependent, and he's no .300 hitter like Big Tony.
Juan Rivera, OF, Angels: It's not that he was fat before, but it looks to me like Rivera is in much better baseball shape this season. He looks more agile, flexible. Hmm, wonder if that's as simple as him getting, um, a little more exercise each day. He already has 212 at-bats after having 256 all last season. The Angels have given him an everyday job again, and he's doing something with it. And everything I see of him leads me to believe it's for real. Remember, he went for .310-23-85 in 2006 before breaking his leg, and he just turned 31, hardly an age in which a decline can be expected. He should be owned in a lot more than 14.2 percent of leagues.
Fortunes Falling
Alfonso Soriano, 2B, Cubs: Just have to vent for a moment: Would the Cubs just put this guy on the DL already and get him right? He has hit .146 in the past 30 days, and is clearly not himself. He's even playing terrible defense. His mind is on his knee (or something else), and not the game. Get him out of there, rest him two weeks and have him work with a trainer and hitting instructor, and plug him back in. OK, thanks for listening.
Vladimir Guerrero, OF, Angels: Sigh, another guy I fear is playing at well less than 100 percent, and it's very much showing in his numbers. Those of you who don't own him might not realize he has just one homer this season, and it came way back on April 12. He bounced back from an injury (torn pectoral muscle) that might have ended some players' seasons, and he did it quicker than expected. But it should mean something that he still can't play the field. Yet there he is at the dish, and to me he looks "stiff," unable to get the bat head on most of the pitchers' pitches he usually can hit. He's not right, he's not Vlad, and I don't see him being Vlad 'til at least August, and maybe even not for the remainder of the season.
Pickups of the Week
Mixed: Scott Podsednik, OF, White Sox. Like him or not, he's looking like the Pods of old, batting .315 with nine steals in 41 games. To put that in perspective, he has the same number of steals as Hanley Ramirez even though he has 75 fewer at-bats.
AL-only: Gabe Kapler, OF, Rays. Not only is he hot, but he specializes in hitting lefties, and the Rays are set to face plenty of lefty starters in the next couple of weeks, if rotations stay as they are now.
NL-only: Matt Downs, 2B, Giants. He was hitting .288 at Triple-A and should get decent playing time with the G-men after Emmanuel Burriss was sent to the minors.
Position Watch
Twins outfield: Good news and bad news for those owners of Twins outfielders not named Denard Span (who has been placed on the DL). The good news: The team no longer has an "odd man out" with Span on the DL. The bad: The team plays in NL parks all next week. From my perspective, Michael Cuddyer will play every day next week, and so will Carlos Gomez, who is the team's lone true center fielder (Cuddyer has played a few games there, but he is, um, not a restaurant-quality center fielder), leaving Kubel and Delmon Young to platoon in left field. Sound familiar? And by the time the team returns home, Span should be close to returning. Bottom line is, neither Young nor Kubel gains much by Span's absence beyond this week.
Angels second base: I love Mike Scioscia as a manager, both in real baseball and for fantasy purposes. He's honest, fairly predictable, straightforward (for a manager) ... but he's also slow to turn over the reins to prospects, preferring instead to see what veterans, even journeymen, can do before doing so. Tony La Russa is also like this. Unfortunately, that means Sean Rodriguez can't be counted on to be the everyday starter at second base; Maicer Izturis is still very much part of the mix. Sure, I want to see what Rodriguez can do just like everyone else, but he shouldn't be picked up in a standard mixed league, regardless of how dominant he was at Triple-A, until it's assured that he'll get everyday playing time.
Lineup Card
Kevin Kouzmanoff, 3B, Padres: Kouzmanoff usually turns it on about this time of year, but he has been a little slower to get it going in 2009. Part of that, I feel, is because he is now hitting sixth instead of hitting fourth or fifth like he did much of last season, and he's hitting with nobody on base. In fact, the Padres' fifth hole has accumulated a major league-low .288 OBP, and Kouz has had runners in scoring position in just 63 of his 232 at-bats this season. He also has just nine runs in 133 at-bats out of that No. 6 hole.
Orlando Cabrera, SS, A's: O-Cab has been removed from Oakland's leadoff spot and moved to either sixth or seventh, but here is one of those rare cases that I actually think it'll help him. Cabrera is not a good fit as a leadoff hitter; he's a free swinger who can hit the ball hard early in counts. Part of the leadoff hitter's job is taking pitches to work walks and help the middle-of-the-lineup hitters (the big boys get to see more pitches, and have a better chance at facing a tired pitcher during an inning). O-Cab has more freedom to be who he really is in the sixth or seventh holes, and I think it actually will kick start him, maybe even to mixed-league status.
On the farm
Jordan Schafer, OF, Braves: According to MLB.com, Schafer felt a "pop" in his hand while swinging last week, and will miss at least another week because of what the organization is calling a bone bruise. Then again, since the team's trade of Nate McLouth, Schafer hasn't been quite so prominent on keeper owners' radar.
Final thoughts
I find that trade offers/discussions result in a trade only about 20 percent of the time. But in another 20 percent of cases, the trade actually happens down the road. This is the time of year to "check in" with other owners and open the trade lines. You can be stingy because it's still early, but you might as well let your fellow owners know which of his players you're interested in, or bring up a category weakness you might be able to address. It might end up being nothing, but at least you've opened the door for a future deal. Owners remember when a league mate has come after one of his guys, and if he decides he wants to deal that player, you're likely to be the first guy he calls.

haha but the beauty of listening to music is the mystery, far too mainstream to leak lyrics
Jul 06
LyricsPosted by Sanna on July 6, 2011 at 4:08 pm
It would be really nice, if you (Strokes) would post the lyrics for Angles. When it's hard to hear the words, it's easy to make your own (wrong) versions such as "Sister,I paid the tax yesterday" or when I was singing "You'll be dancing from a telephone pole and I don't know why" Lyrics and music just go together (of course), and since you make such GREAT lyrics, it wold be awesome.
// Love.
P.s. Actually it would be nice to see ALL your lyrics, please.

Where in the world is Olivia Pope lounging on the beach? Last we saw our favorite fixer on Scandal, she had extricated herself and Jake (Scott Foley) from Shondaland's messy D.C. world following the death of Fitz (Tony Goldwyn) and Mellie's (Bellamy Young) son Jerry. Little does anyone know, it was Rowan (Joe Morton) — not Mama Pope (Khandi Alexander) — who was behind Jerry's death, so that Fitz could win re-election and re-appoint Rowan to the B613 Command post.

Set in the Los Angeles Police Department in April 1992, Dark Blue is a dramatic thriller that takes place just days before the acquittal of four white officers in the beating of black motorist Rodney King and the subsequent L.A. riots. In this racially charged climate, the L.A.P.D's elite Special Investigations Squad (SIS) is assigned a high-profile quadruple homicide. As they work the case, veteran detective Eldon Perry (Kurt Russell), known for his tough street tactics and fiery temper, tutors SIS rookie Bobby Keough (Scott Speedman) in the grim realities of police intimidation.
Adrenaline is high, tempers are hot, and racial tensions are boiling over. Against this explosive backdrop, LAPD detective Eldon Perry (Russell) tutors his rookie partner (Scott Speedman) in the realities of police intimidation and corruption as they investigate a high-profile homicide case. But as the body count rises and the evidence just doesn't add up, Assistant Chief Arthur Holland (Ving Rhames) threatens to end Perry's brand of "justice" if Perry's own demons don't destroy him first.
When Dave, an alcoholic war veteran, leads his loose band of mercenaries on a mission to exact revenge on his long time enemy, Kincaid, things are bound to go wrong. Now Dave is forced to bring in an extra hand, Rob. Now Rob sees he may have even bitten off more than he can chew in the bloody war against Kincaid.

Historical Traveller Reviews of Sheraton Lisboa Hotel and Towers
Really want to give a good reviewfrom argatha
The hotel is still undergoing renovations even though they have reopened - the top floor restaurant, spa, and business center are all still closed, and the front driveway was still under construction.
I was upgraded to a large two-room junior suite with a view of the city located on the 25th Club Floor (helps when the hotel is practically empty!). The living room had a big window, small sofa, two chairs, flat screen TV, a table that doubled as a desk, and even a second bathroom!
The bedroom also had stunning city views and a mechanized shade to keep out the light. A highlight of my stay was waking up in the morning and watching the sun come up over the beautiful city of Lisbon (sunrise was around 7:30 a.m.). The closet was a bit small but roomy enough for me, and had enough hangers for a change. The bed was the standard Sheraton (comfortable) bed with a choice of firm or soft pillows. There was also an electric kettle, minibar, safe, and iron.
The suite had dark hardwood floors, nice rugs, fabric and leather walls, white marble and glass in the bathrooms. Very stylish. The public areas of the hotel were furnished in the same style; I assume the other rooms are as well.
The bathroom was a good size, with an opaque glass walled shower stall and separate toilet and bidet area. The main bathroom had a red marble and steel counter with two sinks and plenty of room for toiletries. The bathroom was a little odd because the tub/sink area had a clear glass enclosure that looked directly into the bedroom, but you could lower (mechanically) glass-enclosed miniblinds to preserve modesty if needed (I liked that you could watch the flat screen TV from the tub with the blinds up).
Most of my complaints were really just nits. The only full-length mirror was on a side wall and faced the dresser, so it wasn't very useful. As usual in a European hotel, there were no plugs in the bathrooms or even near a mirror, so it was a pain trying to do my hair. No non-slip mats for the shower and/or tub. No clock in the bedroom (I knocked the lamp on my head groping for my cell phone clock in the dark). The shower didn't have good water pressure. No conditioner, and the bath products were nothing special.
There were a total of six (!) light switch panels, and no way to turn off all of the lights at once. I ran around the different rooms a lot trying to turn lights on and off, and even then it was a little gloomy (not sure why hotels seem to think "stylish" equals dim lighting).
The room was quiet and calm, although I did hear a few car horns now and again (although not at night). However, I don't think there were more then 30 people in the hotel during my three-day stay, so I can't say what it would be like if it was full.
The restaurant was typically overpriced but I thought both the soup and dessert I tried were quite good. I found the cold breakfast buffet to be pretty scanty for a 5-star hotel, but you could get made to order hot food as well. I began to hate the really loud new age music being pumped out from the bar area that was inescapable in the lobby and restaurant.
The major, and I mean major, problem was the horrible sewer smell that would come and go (but came more often than not) in the room.
The first morning I thought I might have stepped in something the night before, but then realized that the drains were giving off a sewer-like aroma. I was running late for work so I didn't call down to the front desk immediately, and when I got back at night the smell was gone. However, I woke up to a bad smell in the night that was gone in the morning, but came back after my shower. About this time the water started to small bad, too.
When I called down to the front desk, they were very accommodating and sent someone up to clean things out and spray the drains, and immediately offered to move me to another room (the explanation was that I was the first person in the room since they reopened. Um, sure…). I didn't move, mostly because I was feeling too lazy to pack up for only one more night, but also because I've always found water problems of this degree are never confined to a single room.
I really wanted to use the bathtub, but the bath bomb I bought couldn't mask the stench of the water enough for me to be able to even think about getting in. Strangely (luckily?), I didn't notice the water in the shower smelling bad, only the tub and sinks.
So, in summary, even though I really want to give this hotel a good review, I just can't. Until someone can confirm it was an isolated thing in that particular room, or they fix the water, I'd probably choose to stay elsewhere (although, so be honest, I liked it enough that I might, just might, consider taking a chance on staying there again anyway).
I really liked it.from gatototo
t be fooled by the self proclaimed 5 star image!from A TripAdvisor Member
mentioned that they are a 5 star hotel. I totally disagree! I've been to 5 star hotels and this certainly isn't one. I would rate the Sheraton as a 4 star hotel and in some cases that's still too much. Only guests who are staying in suites receive a complimentary newspaper. I've been in 3 star hotels where this is all part of the service.
When checking in the receptionist mentioned that there was some renovation work going on on the top floors but that would only take place between 10 am and 6 pm. That wasn't true! On one day, the noise started at 8.30 am therefore sleeping late was not an option. The space of the rooms was okay but the furniture was old and the bathtub looked worn out. The biggest flaw that I perceived was the receptionist who helped us check in. I could not help but notice that she did not provide us any information about the facilities of the hotel. I had to ask for everything myself. Bad service!
Do not eat/drink in the hotel lounge bar; prices are ridiculously high!
Fortunately, I booked this hotel through a travel agent therefore the hotel prices combined with an airline ticket were cheaper than on its website. If you have to pay their own prices then you would not get a good deal. Their prices are too high for the quality of service they provide. It's not worth it! However, they did have an excellent breakfast buffet; a lot of choice and fresh (canned) fruit. Its location is good. I still had the feeling that I could walk in the area without feeling unsafe.
In general, I wouldn't recommend this hotel.
Good experience!from Parisienne
Not a 5-Star Hotelfrom FrequentFlyer19
Great old fashioned hotelfrom A TripAdvisor Member
the staff where friendly,great veiws and comfy beds ( That was the most comfortable bed i sleeped in on my trip around brazil!)
The staff where so friendly they taught me some portugese! I loved the day core and it was a great place to stay in .... but i reccomed getting food somwhere else!
but overall it was a GREAT hotel
quite old-fashionedfrom GN2
Overall this is an above average hotel but I'm not surprised they are renovating it -- the decor is quite old-fashioned, particularly the lobby bar which is very dated. However my room on the 18th floor was bright, with a very comfortable bed and great views over the city. The staff were also very friendly, with the exception of the porters at the front door -- I don't think I saw one of them smile at any stage!
In summary, if you can get a decent rate then the Sheraton is worth a look, but if you're looking for something a bit more contemporary, try the Sana Lisboa Park across the road.

Top Local Tips for Lisbon
Follow Me Lisboa - Magazine. Go to Turismo De Portugal at the Aiport as soon as you arrive and get this Magazine - full of great info as it updates any guide book you may have. The check out the Lisboa Card - which entitles you to discount - good vlaue if used wisely. Note Museums free on Sundays. Enjoy this city.
Lisbon not friendly to the disabled Most streets and sidewalks are made with small cobble-stones, and riding in a wheelchair was a challenge. Lisbon is less prepared to welcome people with handicaps than other European cities.
Be carefull for your money Metro is a great way of getting around. It's very well organized, clean and efficient. Taxi are cheap and so cheap that you let them scam you because you don't want to discuss. Our taxi driver charged us the double of what was on his meter and I let him do because I was too tired to argue. Be carefull at all times about your wallet. Pickpockets are very skillful. We nearly got ours stolen. It happened on the tram 15. Zippers are easy to open for them so be carefull and leav some precious documents you don't needto carry around in you room's safe.

About our logo:
The original train going around the 3/4 circle was designed by the late Mr. Roger Bacon of Plymouth, WI, Diana's father. Roger and his wife Kasey owned a hobby farm called Choo Choo Acres, named as such because there is a railroad track running along one side of their property. Roger drew the train and track free hand as a logo for Kasey's dairy goat business. When Diana and I started business in 2003, we adapted the original logo to serve our needs with Roger's blessing. Roger passed away on April 18, 2011, but his artwork lives on as a tribute to one of the finest men I've ever known.
Save us a place in heaven, Dad.

Best Practices in Preventing Leadership Derailment
The rise of a "rock star" executive can capture the public imagination and bring positive exposure for a firm. More often, however, a high-flying executive suffers the sort of public flame-out common to actual rock stars.

The filmmakers, who include the hitherto ace action director Jan De Bont ("Speed", "Twister"), have neither hearts nor minds in gear. [13Jun1997 Pg.04.D]
Yet Speed 2 is as slow-moving as a garbage scow. Those blinking lights might as well be emanating from a vital-signs monitor. The story is dead in the water.
Though it displays enough perils to put a dent in future cruise ship sales, the film has a makeshift, slapdash quality that is the opposite of its predecessor.
The screenwriters, Randall McCormick and Jeff Nathanson, and the director, Jan de Bont, have no interest in providing their actors with stuff to act.
And De Bont's effects are wildly over the top, devoid of the stylish cuts and intriguing angles that enriched the original. In fact, there's so little panache in his destructive action that it begins to seem like a weird act of self-destruction.
First, the good news: Unlike most action film sequels, Speed 2: Cruise Control is not a mere retread of the original. Now the bad news: Better it had been.
The 1994 "Speed," which starred Bullock and Keanu Reeves, was hardly "King Lear" on a bus, but it was an entertaining ride. But this movie is nothing but pain to sit through.
"Speed" made millions on mindless, empty thrills; this laborious sequel is just as mindless and empty but lacks the thrills.
This may be hard to believe, but there's not a single moment of drama or tension in any of the action sequences. And the film is made up almost entirely of action.
Speed 2 is such an inept piece of direction that it's anybody's guess whether De Bont understands how to convey where two characters are in spatial relation to each other or in relation to the action.
But like De Bont's awful "Twister", Speed 2: Cruise Control somehow manages to fail in every way.
The kinetics aren't that good, the twaddle is off the charts and the characters seem written by monkeys on amphetamines with crayons.

Jun 15, 2014I love the original Speed. The quintessential Die Hard of the 90's. If it wasn't for this sequel to be made on a ship instead of a bus, thereI love the original Speed. The quintessential Die Hard of the 90's. If it wasn't for this sequel to be made on a ship instead of a bus, there wouldn't be no Sandra Bullock and Keanu Reeves. Instead, all you get is a horrid but douchebag actor named Robert Patric, a not-so-hotshot villlain played by William Dafoe, and an unwelcome surprise. The director comes back for more Speed...well at least he tried. Speed 2: Cruise Control is the polar opposite of bad movie sequels. Well, at least Batman & Robin was better than this one. I don't get it with a movie that blowed me away in 1994 involves a bus that's going to blow up 1000 miles sky high and 3 years later turned it into a vacation getaway into a... I don't know...something about hacking a cruise ship? At least, you probably know about the movie. This is one of the worst bombs and worst sequels of all time because there are 3 things this movie is a bumbarded waste:
1. Bad casting choices.
2. the story is terrible, can't even stay loyal to the infamous bomb on a bus scene from the 94 version.
3. Lack of character development, not enough hype, and a ridiculous soundtrack with only reggae music.
Sure, the film was a success at the box office, but we don't care anymore. I definitely want to see a reboot of the film anytime soon. Any director who is capable of bringing back the moments I love about the original version, it's gotta be a fair and very successful director like David Fincher. I wasn't even too happy with Roger Ebert's review of "Cruise Control," It's just painfully unwatchable.… Full Review »

If you haven't tried Vapiano yet, Dresden's is one of the best as it is centrally placed and large enough to eat leisurely if you wish. Highly recommended for lovers of good Italian food, cooked whilst you wait using only fresh ingredients!
We like this restaurant because food are cooked right in front of you, fresh and tasty. Cheese cake is too cold to eat , tiramisu tastes much better.
Everything perfect and delicious and very cheap and Staff are always friendly and nice, and the personal atmosphere.
Carbonera was good.
Pasta is made very al dante.
Fast service and amazing Atmosphere. I loved it. Recommended to everyone.
We went there as a large group after a business meeting. It was loud, crowded, slow. The pizza came out half baked and not very tasty (thank god for the chile flakes!). This is a chain restaurant and looks exactly the same in Zurich. No character, no service. Avoid.
The good and interesting things about the restaurant are that, when ordering pasta, antipasti or salads, you can watch while preparing the food, but the food does not taste like the real Italian food.
Visited Vapiano Dresden today and was thoroughly disappointed.
The staff (excluding the chefs) were friendly and helpful.
Plenty of room and tables available, and the usual fresh vapiano look.
I ordered tagliatelle carbonara. Sadly, the pasta was still hard having not been cooked long enough, the ham was lumps of fat and the sauce tasted of nothing but egg and...
I have visited one of these in london. The concept is good. The food fresh. It is a chain and not very German though.
it is fresh pasta fast food, they prepare the food in front of you, it is fresh, easy and tasty. the only problem is that during lunch time it's overcrowded. if you want pizza you will wait 15-20 min..
Prices are very reasonable, from 6 - 9 EUR.
I used to be a big fan of this restaurant in Berlin, but after a while you get somewhat tired of the crowded lines and waiting times. I still visit it regularly because the food is nice and the prices are reasonable. However, I had my worst Vapiano experience when I visited the Dresden branch this August. After being told...
