The DIS Book Club Discussion Group: Round 2 - The Help
Good Morning, DISers!
I am proud to announce that we are ready to begin the second round of our DIS Book Club reading group! Our next selection is.... -drumroll please-
The Help
by Kathryn Stockett
Over the next several weeks, we will read and share our thoughts on The Help in this thread. Anyone who is interested in joining us is welcome. You could be a first time poster or a regular visitor to the DIS.
Please check this post in the near future for updates including a reading schedule and any other goodies that may come our way. In the meantime, visit your local library or bookstore for a copy of the novel.
See you soon!
from Official Kathryn Stockett Website
Three ordinary women are about to take one extraordinary step.
Twenty-two-year-old Skeeter has just returned home after graduating from Ole Miss. She may have a degree, but it is 1962, Mississippi, and her mother will not be happy till Skeeter has a ring on her finger. Skeeter would normally find solace with her beloved maid Constantine, the woman who raised her, but Constantine has disappeared and no one will tell Skeeter where she has gone.
Aibileen is a black maid, a wise, regal woman raising her seventeenth white child. Something has shifted inside her after the loss of her own son, who died while his bosses looked the other way. She is devoted to the little girl she looks after, though she knows both their hearts may be broken.
Minny, Aibileen's best friend, is short, fat, and perhaps the sassiest woman in Mississippi. She can cook like nobody's business, but she can't mind her tongue, so she's lost yet another job. Minny finally finds a position working for someone too new to town to know her reputation. But her new boss has secrets of her own.
Seemingly as different from one another as can be, these women will nonetheless come together for a clandestine project that will put them all at risk. And why? Because they are suffocating within the lines that define their town and their times. And sometimes lines are made to be crossed.
In pitch-perfect voices, Kathryn Stockett creates three extraordinary women whose determination to start a movement of their own forever changes a town, and the way women--mothers, daughters, caregivers, friends--view one another. A deeply moving novel filled with poignancy, humor, and hope, The Help is a timeless and universal story about the lines we abide by, and the ones we don't.

Awww rats! I just read this with my other book club...but, that said, it is a great read or listen. For those who may be interested, many people I know used the audio version of this book. It's actually being recommended by several "book club guides" due to the wonderful audio portrayals of the various characters in the story. The actors in the audio book do a phenomenal job.

For those of you who have already read the novel, feel free to revisit it and take a larger role during our discussions. I always found that reading a book a second time (in parts) caused me to find new things I missed the first time!

I am so glad that everyone is enjoying their reading thus far. I have oh so many things to say about our first section and wanted to give everyone a chance to dive in before posting my thoughts. As a reminder, you should finish reading Chapters 1-7 by Monday, April 12th. Feel free to go ahead, if you'd like!
One of the major focuses of The Help is the issue of race amongst the women living in Mississippi. Told through Aibileen's point-of-view, we learn just how deep of a role segregation played in 1962 during the bridge club scene. It is at this time that Miss Leefolt and Miss Hilly discuss the idea of a separate bathroom for Aibileen to use due to her being African-American (7-8). While I am not naive of how things were during the early years of the civil rights movement, I still found myself raising an eyebrow at how ignorant Miss Leefolt and her lady friends were acting. It brought to mind the AIDS crisis in the 1990s and how so many people were afraid to be near someone with the disease. I remember watching television shows with individuals who were afraid to even sit near someone who had AIDS because they were concerned that they could contract it. Did anyone else have the same reaction to this scene in The Help? Have you ever been in a situation where you felt alienated against because of a physical trait like skin color, gender, etc.? How did you cope and what did you learn from the situation?
Later on, Miss Leefolt actually hires a contractor to build a "colored bathroom" for Aibileen to use. Towards the end of Chapter 2, she lets Aibileen know it is ready for use and hints at her to clean the white bathroom immediately. Aibileen's reaction was absolutely priceless and really showed the raw emotion felt by those being discriminated against during the 1960s:
" 'I use my colored bathroom from now on...And then I go on and Clorox the white bathroom again real good'...I put the iron down real slow, feel that bitter seed grow in my chest...My face goes hot, my tongue twitchy. I don't know what to say to her. All I know is, I ain't saying it. And I know she ain't saying what she want a say either and it's a strange thing happening here cause nobody saying nothing and we still managing to have us a conversation." (29)
I can really picture this scene in my head here: white woman nervously fiddling with her wedding ring and staring down her black maid. The anger and hate that Aibileen must have felt at this very moment was monumental. Still, she keeps it together out of fear of losing her major source of income and access to her beloved Mae Mobly. Have you ever been in a situation where you had a "conversation" without saying something? What led to this taking place and how was the tension resolved?

I have to say that these are very thoughtful questions...
and I may not respond to them directly but feel the need to share my reaction.
We still have a lot of work to do in our society to erase stereotypes and stigma.

Thank you for putting these discussion points together, Nikki. I've never participated in a book discussion before, and so wasn't too sure how to participate.
I'm an avid book reader, and usually once I get started, I don't stop, and so finished the book this morning. For this discussion, though, I'll keep with the timeline here.
When I read the scene where the two women are discussing creating a separate bathroom I felt a sense of shock due to the personal level that this situation affected Aibileen. I was born in 1960, and raised in Los Angeles, which has a more diverse culture. Of course, I have heard and read about discrimination, and seen it first-hand, but to see this one detail really struck me.
Then I felt angry on Aibileen's behalf. I started to imagine how trapped she must have felt to be working for someone who obviously thought so little of her. It wasn't just that she was considered to be less equal, but that she was devalued as a human. In their eyes she was stripped of her dignity, and no matter how she felt she couldn't stand up for herself.
As I imagined how it must have felt to be Aibileen, I came to the realization that I may empathize with her, but I can't really imagine myself in her place because no matter how much I may think about it, I have never had to feel the shame that years in that culture would bring forth. I understand the difference.
Here are a couple of personal experiences with discrimination:
I'm of Mexican/Spanish descent. My father was a little darker skinned, and spoke with a slight accent because he learned Spanish before English. He was an educated man and graduated high school in three years (graduated from the university with a degree). In his senior year he was editor of his high school newspaper in El Paso. He won a trip to Austin. He was excited. He had never been out of El Paso before (his family did not have much money). He was shocked when he went to Austin and had to sit at the back of the bus and drink from a different water fountain than the "white" people. (Isn't it ironic that on the census we are Caucasion but in Austin he wasn't white enough to use the same fountain.) That experience tainted my father's view towards anglo's for the rest of his life. I remember when I was young in the 60's and an anglo would come to the house. My dad would tense up. He just couldn't help it.
When I've been in Europe I have been looked at as a "dirty Yankee." One time in Spain my girlfriend & I said we were Canadian because of the anti-American sentiment in one particular place. We didn't want to deal with it.
I remember these incidences that we experienced, and yet, it isn't nearly as extreme as Aibileen's situation. She was dependent on these women for her livelihood, and there was no escaping their prejudism against her. How does a person's spirit survive that? How can a person overcome the shame caused because others think her to be dirty merely by her outward appearance.
Having said that, I have been in situations where I had a very difficult manager who was unreasonable, and I did not have the freedom to say what I really thought. I was able to keep my calm knowing that I was in the right, and the thought "this, too, shall pass."
In The Help, Aibileen does not have that luxury. In her world, at the time that the bathroom was built and she was banished to the outside room there was no "this, too, shall pass."

The "netsh firewall add portopening," "netsh firewall set portopening," and "netsh firewall set service" commands do not work on a computer that is running certain editions of Windows Vista
Article ID: 949543 - View products that this article applies to.
Consider the following scenario:
Note The netsh firewall context is supported only on computers that are running Windows Vista Ultimate, Windows Vista Business, and Windows Vista Enterprise.
This problem occurs because the netsh firewall context does not work on computers that are running Windows Vista Starter, Windows Vista Home Basic, and Windows Vista Home Premium. Any commands that use the netsh firewall context require advanced security permissions to run successfully.
To resolve this problem, use the netsh advfirewall firewall context on a computer that is running Windows Vista Starter, Windows Vista Home Basic, or Windows Vista Home Premium editions. The netsh advfirewall firewall context uses Windows Firewall together with the advanced security features that are available in Windows Vista. Additionally, the netsh advfirewall firewall context offers a richer security feature set than does the netsh firewall context.

Welcome Ousia,Your brief story is beautiful. One thing I would comment. The Coptic Church's renaissance did not come in the 1960's. Renaissance came and comes daily in Tradition and theology, in liturgy and praxis. And while you're praying to be worthy for Her glorious past and more glorious future, include us "cradle" Copts in that prayer. Really there is no such thing as "cradle Copts". We are all born anew and "converted" daily in the love of God and the Orthodox Church through the ancient sacraments and customs of Tradition.

Great British year of sport
Related Links
Relevant offers
Stuff Nation
For the Queen's Diamond Jubilee in 2012, her countrymen and women delivered in the best way possible on the sporting field - and it wasn't just at the Olympics.
Even those well-paid footballers and rugby players stood tall for their country with Wales winning the Grand Slam five months after crashing out of the Rugby World Cup semifinal and Manchester City and Chelsea brought home the silverware.
The English footballers actually did better than I thought they would at EURO 2012 after all the calamity in the buildup with the hasty replacement of Fabio Capello with Roy Hodgson, Wayne Rooney's early suspension and John Terry's court case. England won their group of death ahead of France, the hosts, Ukraine and their eternal kryptonite, Sweden. They were stoic against a superior Italian side but once again, couldn't quite finish the job in the penalty shootout - both Ashleys (Young and Cole) joining Gareth Southgate, David Beckham, David Batty, Chris Waddle and Stuart Pearce in that illustrious list of decisive English penalty missers.
The English cricketers also solidified their placing as world cricket's number two team ahead of the decisive Ashes next season. They couldn't quite repeat their Twenty20 glory this year and it was quite obvious that the team was in transition with Alastair Cook assuming more of the captaincy responsibilities while new talent was being introduced.
The English rugby players may also have symbolically staked their claim as rugby's number two team after a stunning thrashing of the world champion All Blacks in the final test of 2012. While the ABs may have been tired after a long season, it was still a tremendous win for England three years ahead of their Rugby World Cup.
But now to those who really brought home glory for Queen and country - the cyclists.
For so long, Great Britain was behind the rest of Europe when it came to the grand tours and the sport of cycling itself. Yes, Britain had the likes of Chris Hoy to fly the flag alone against the rest of the world, but Hoy along with the likes of David Millar were the sole stars of a "minority" sport.
How times have changed as record funding and a surge in interest has now seen Britain produce undoubtedly its finest generation of cyclists, on the track and on the road. The recent success of Mark Cavendish, Bradley Wiggins and Dave Brailsford's Team Sky has inspired a new generation of cyclists - the Tour of Britain has never been popular in light of Wiggins' Tour de France and Olympic wins this year.
The women are also getting in on the action - while Victoria Pendleton may have called it quits after the Olympics, Laura Trott looks set to follow in her footsteps. Elizabeth Armitstead also delivered a fine silver to world champion Marianne Vos in the road race. If only the UCI would have a tour series for the women just as they do for the men.
Britain's dominance also continued in the rowing where they had their best ever Olympics. Both men and women reigned supreme at Eton Dorney and were always in the medals even if they didn't quite win gold.
In track and field Britain enjoyed its greatest night on the track when Mo Farrah, Jessica Ennis, Greg Rutherford all won gold. Jessica Ennis had been the cover girl of this Olympics and had dominated the heptathlon from start to finish and it was apt that she would win the final 800m and put the seal on a gold medal at home - her predecessor, Dame Kelly Holmes would have been very proud.
All this of course made London 2012 the most successful Olympic games in British history post World War II - they finished third on the medal ladder only behind the USA and China and ahead of Germany and Australia.
Moment of the year? Shan't bother, too many of them.

My name is Tom, I am a 53 yr old married man. I have an incredibly supportive wife and family. I have three children, ages 26, 24 & 22, and one grandson, who is the greatest little guy in the world, at least my world. I am a partner in a professional services firm and have been blessed by God with the ability to provide for my wife and family. I am one of seven children and the fourth of four brothers in my family of origin who are alcoholic, although I have not had a drop of alcohol since Jan 8, 1990. About five years ago, what started out as casual use of an occassional percocet turned into a passion to find any type of opiate to "soothe my soul". In late June 2005, I hit the proverbial jackpot when I found an Internet site from whom I was prescribed by a US licensed physician, 120 Norco, 10mg w/3 refills. My "occassional use" escalated to 10 to 12 pills per day and a 2nd Internet Dr. prescribing the same meds. I quickly realized that I was jeopordizing my family and my business with this crazy behavior and I went to see a physician/phsychiatrist who specialized in treating addictions. I was placed on 16 mgs of Suboxone, then switched to Subutex after about a month due to a bad reaction to the Suboxone. After a brief attempt at tapering, I have been on either 16 or 24 mgs of Subutex for nearly five years, when I was forced to change to Suboxone film by our new insurance company if you can believe that. Nonetheless, I am still taking 24 mgs/day, but I have just started tapering using Pattishan61's tapering advice. I have a new lease on life since I found this site. I realize I am not alone, that there are people just like me who have not only stopped using, but that are completely free of Suboxone/Subutex. I now have great hope and the comfort of knowing that I have a huge support group that I can lean on to help and I pray that someday, I can help someone like me when the day comes. Thank you all for your support. I thank God that He steered me to this site!!read less

The initiative asks consumers to submit photos, videos, and tips.
The National Park Foundation, the official charity of America's national parks, has launched a summer-long promotion, Summer Scrapbook, in which it is asking consumers to share their favorite park moments, memories, and advice in an online community.
According to the foundation, the goal of the campaign is to inspire Americans to visit their 401 national parks. Since it launched June 20, the promotion has received more than 1,000 submissions.
The National Park Foundation is asking park visitors to post photos, videos, and travel tips. Site visitors will find 10 categories - that includes eight photo options, as well as one each for videos and park tips. Visitors post their content to the appropriate category. Each person can submit up to 10 items. When sharing content, users are asked to select the associated park.
"A lot of people come to the National Park Foundation site looking for national park travel information and ideas," says Angela Hearn, director of marketing at the National Park Foundation. "While the National Park Service website is the online destination for the history and facts on the national parks, the National Park Foundation website complements their information with personal stories and experiences from park visitors and enthusiasts."
All entries must be posted by September 8. On September 10, the National Park Foundation will announce finalists in each category. The public will be invited to vote through September 30.
Anyone who submits content is automatically entered for a chance to win a summer or winter trip to Yosemite National Park. In addition, voters are entered for a chance to win a railway journey to Grand Canyon National Park.
All category winners will receive a National Park Explorer Pack. Prize packs include hiking and camping equipment, as well as National Park Foundation gear and a national parks pass.
There will be two grand prize winners and 10 category winners. Winners will be announced in September and early October.
"We want to inspire the American people to visit their 401 national parks and give them a place online to share and exchange their favorite national park moments, memories, and advice with other national park visitors and enthusiasts," Hearn says.
The National Park Foundation is the official charity of America's national parks. It raises private funds that "aid, support and enrich" America's more than 400 national parks and their programs.
The National Park Foundation has 209,000 likes on Facebook. @GoParks has 39,000 followers.

I know you said that your recipe is ten or so years old & you do not know specifically how it has changed over time--- but I am wondering if you have drank one recently and could say it was different, and then speculate on the changes.
IMO, that might be why some are not following your very-direct- and detailed clone recipe in this thread.
I got a commercial Blue Moon today, and will drink it and follow this thread before considering a brew of it.
Well I brewed this exactly as Wayne had put forth (cept with 3tsp cor/1tsp orange). I will be kegging this sometime this weekend after 3 weeks in primary and will post back on how it turned out.
I put this in the keg yesterday and forced carbed it then put it in the keezer. I took a sample this morning, and its heavy on the corriander. Im thinking about grabbing a 6'er of blue moon to compare it to directly though (im going by memory) and when I do that I will post back. Im hoping in a couple of weeks the flavors with blend a little better. Not bad though still. Thanks Wayne for all the info you gave!
well, I'm starting to worry that I over did the coriander.... I based my calculations on Wayne's ratios on the original, and I also assumed 6tsp = 1 oz...is that assumption correct?
I know that with 3 tsp Im borderline too much after 3 weeks. I think 6 will be pretty spicy...but you wont know till you try it!
I know there were several batches due to be ready around now...any taste updates?
I finally got some Blue Moon yesterday (it wasnt cold), gonna try them side by side tonight...will post back later!
I did a batch last weekend following Wayne's guidance to a T for a 5 gallon batch. I'll be bottling shorty and will be serving at a Milwaukee Brewer outing at the end of the month. Should be a crowd pleaser if it's even somewhat close to the original. I'll post my beer lover feedback as well as the 'regular' folks
i tried a modified version and will keg tomorrow so i will take a taste. Modifications will be posted when i get home and can get the brewsheet. I however know i used 0.5oz corriander (cracked with a beer bottle so the crack was not very fine) and 2 large oranges fresh zested. In my experience the dried orange peel just never gives the flavor i want in a 5 gal batch and several others agree on this
OK...here we go. This is from the recipe I posted a page or two back. First a pic. Original on the left, mine on the right:
Now this is for a 5.5g batch. 3 tsp of corriander is almost spot on. I wouldnt change it for next time until the other flavors are just right. Which brings me to the orange. There is absolutely no orange flavor. The original has a very strong orange flavor comparatively. The original is a little "sweeter" though I personally think its the orange thats giving it that flavor. So that probably means that the orange we can get in the store just isnt as potent as what the brewery uses (it would be awesome to find out what brand they use and just get that...but I doubt that will happen). So next time I will probably do 3 tsp of orange and 3 tsp of corriander.
This is still very drinkable and delicious, its just not Blue Moon yet

Used to love both of these books as a child and now my 4 year old son also loves them, and older children will understand the jokes and activities more. Open the envelope for each fairy tale character and find something new inside. Good story, witty and really good fun. Takes it beyond just a book to read.

Aliens Are From Hell
[#UNN] Paranormal - I was recently turned on to this story and this video by a good friend of mine, and I thought that it was an interesting and informative story and in watching this video I learned some things about UFOs that I had not been aware of before. This is saying something because I haven't learned anything new about them in years. These will be explained in the following synopsis.
The video is 140 minutes long and it does have some graphic content in the form of a recovered body.
This is first and foremost a video about UFO's. The primary claim is that UFOs are extradimensional beings that have been called Angels. They have shape shifting abilities, and these abilities have been caught on camera. It seems to be in four parts. They have a huge presence on the moon.
Presents arguments that the UFO's are not actually spaceships from from another solar system, that it is actually impossible for them to come here because there are gases that would explode when a technological based ship would fly through it, destroying the craft and the occupants in it, and that these explosions would be seen from earth. so because it's impossible to travel through space because of these gases, the aliens are actually extradimensional beings.
These beings have shape shifting abilities which have been caught on tape. You'll see the actual videos of these beings in the documentary. Fallen angels are not able to maintain their shapes in the atmosphere because they don't have the ability like the non fallen Angels do. They do have some shape shifting abilities, it's just not very powerful.
Talks a bit about structures on the moon, but concentrates on this one building that the astronauts Buzz Aldrin went in to. It shows the film of the astronauts going into this huge building, which is ruins. It also talks about the Nazis having a base there.
As for me, I had only seen one or two stills of this building, this film is several minutes long and he pauses it to show you certain features of it but shows several minutes of the film. I had never seen so much of this film myself, and it shows a computer model of the building.
The reason the astronauts came to this building is because the Nazis used it as a base for a while.
One of the Apollo missions explored a huge ship on the moon and brought back a body of a human pilot with some of her crew. She has unusual tubes that connect her mouth to her eyes to the center of the forehead. These tubes are actually cybernetics which allowed her to pilot the craft. There was some sort of an explosion which exposed the pilot and some of the crew to the moon's atmosphere and they froze to death. The tubes are removed, and they reveal the old style Mark Of Caine on her forehead, marking her as a Cainite, and that she was born with it. The mark is a serpentine figure in the middle of a cross. It mentions that some people are born with the mark while others tattoo it.
She was covered in a blanket of highly advanced circuitry that nobody knows what was for. There were also some notes written in the language that humans used before the Tower Of Babel.
As for me I was really fascinated to see that mark on her forehead. i don't know if it's real or not. If this is the real thing then it does show that some things in the Bible is true. As far as I know this is the ONLY UFO video that actually shows the mark. This also means that this body is before the flood.
Shows huge fields of gold on the moon, and that NASA tries to cover it up by causing static when they try to film the gold. When filmed with color you can see these fields of gold from orbit as they show up in yellow and glow.
So please, enjoy the film. Please watch the entire video before making any comments.

Picky Judy's Picks: Eli's
Even after a so-called winterless winter, the signs of spring stand out prominently and they are oh! so welcome. I don't know which I like more, the early morning birdsongs or the open sign on Eli's.
Hmmm, maybe Eli's.
Luckily for me, Eli's opened Friday night on our wedding anniversary and a celebration was in order, although I must admit, we both had forgotten the anniversary until our nephew Dave called to wish us a happy one. He was dutifully keeping in touch, having been the subject of a winter scolding concerning his lack of connection. His wife, Jennifer, keeps a list of family dates, so he was on the phone at the break of dawn in California, where he now lives.
There must have been a lot of other celebrations that night because Eli's tables filled up quickly, and people were even eating at the bar. By the time we left, a small crowd had formed outside, waiting for seats, all starved for one of the restaurant's really good meals.
I tried the braised lamb osso bucco with glazed vegetables, ceci beans and a citrus herb gremolata. I ordered the dish though the only ingredient I could identify in the description was the lamb shank. It turned out to be a great choice. I admit I ate it all, primarily because it was delicious.
Ceci beans, I now know, are more familiar by their other names, garbanzo beans or chick peas. A citrus gremolata, according to Wikapedia, is chopped lemon zest, parsley and garlic, sometimes with anchovies and other herbs added. I might try making a gremolata next time I cook lamb. The light citrus overtone was just the ingredient the osso bucco needed to elevate it from country to opera.
Ron had the seared red snapper served with a five-spice carrot puree, baby bok choy, grilled Chinese style pork belly, ginger-soy froth and toasted sesame oil, and he loved it. I heard him describing it with enthusiasm afterward, especially noting the pork belly ginger-soy froth. Ron, I have mentioned before, is a super taster and a tough critic of cooks' offerings. He has learned, at home, that if he is critical, or if even the edge of his lips turn down, he could be the one cooking the next night, but he feels free to voice his opinions of restaurant food and he often does. Many nights I have enjoyed my meal only to learn when we arrive home that the spinach was stringy or the side dish was overcooked or the hamburger was sawdust. But Eli's snapper suited him fine.
Instead of appetizers, we shared a dessert. I am happy to report that Linda Rondinone has returned as pastry chef. That night, she made a chocolate crepe with a caramelized pear filling, topped with a bittersweet chocolate sauce. I've eaten crepes all my life, though they came with other names. Many ethnic groups make them, filling them with local cheeses, jams, or even roe. The Russians call them blinis, the Danish and Swedish, pancakes. In Hungary they are polychinkins and among American Jews, blintzes, but I've never eaten chocolate ones before. I think that marriage will last, chocolate and crepe! Brad Marthens, who was serving and visiting tables, noticed that we had eaten every single crumb and vestige of the sauce.
It was a grand Block Island night and a wonderful way to kick off the 2012 season. Thanks, Eli's, for opening early before the off island throngs crowd in.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 by 622 reviewers.
Rated 3 out of 5 by Shocked Great location Great location. Staff were generally very friendly except for a very grumpy & rude man at the spressi lounge area. Bought coffee on two occasions while kids wanted to use the free wi-fi. His rudeness took me by surprise. On the second night , there he was again with rudeness and all. I even witnessed him being very rude to the ladies in front of me. They shuddered and walked off. Business lost! December 14, 2011
Rated 2 out of 5 by dave98 needs some attention The location could not be bettter, and if you are in the mood for staying in the old style and manner of a sheraton...what they used to be... then go for it. For me, and after nearly 100 stays in two years, this is not one of the best. For a rewards stay this was not so great. In particular, moldy ceilings in bathroom, poor valet service if any, average food, noisy hallways, no spg floor July 4, 2012
Rated 2 out of 5 by Mike Dont expect to get much sleep Very noisy. Woken up at night by guests in the room above and in the morning at 6.00 am by traffic outside. The most basic requirement of a hotel is a good nights sleep and you won't get it here. Also no fridge in the room. Very expensive hotel and certainly not worth it. Location excellent and I think is what keeps the place in business. Spend some money and improve the soundproofing. May 25, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by Ian591 Too much noise During my stay, the amount of noise at all hours lead to two nights of broken sleep. The concierge could not book tickets which took me 5 minutes on the internet to sort out. I was put into a preferred room which was next to the lift (noise) and right next to the pool (noise). Unless you plan to party all night, not the hotel to stay at! June 2, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Terri Good location, nice accomodations I found a low rate and booked with some hesitation, wondering if it would be a subpar hotel. But we were pleasantly surprised with the quality of accommodations, along with very helpful and friendly staff. Only complaint is the wireless internet access is only in the lobby/cafe area. In today's world it should be complimentary in all rooms. Good location, good staff. Would stay again. April 29, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Tom1822 Great Location, Nice Facilities and Friendly Staffs This hotel is located just within 5mins walking distance from Pier 39 Fisherman's Wharf ! I like the young vibrant color themes of the rooms and the full coffee maker set with quality coffee bags available inside the room. Internet connection in room chargeable as well as parking for guests - I guess this should be reviewed and considered as waiver for guests. With SPG recognition. October 20, 2012
Rated 2 out of 5 by Unhabppy4 Expensive cafeteria Theis remodel property is trying to present its self as a fresh hip property although the rooms are comfortable and fresh the resturant is no n existent and looks and feel like a cafeteria. There is no lounge or bar and no club lounge For the price point of this hotel this is very disappointing. Not to forget. That the park cost me more then my car rental. April 25, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by Darrick Needs improvement. No maid service between 0830-1530 hours. Returned to a unmade room. Charged for parking when road closures forced us to park a rental car, we larifies we didn't need parking and only parked to check in and aimed at returning car ASAP! We were still charged! Even after front desk said it would not be a problem. Customer service lacking! Movie ordered & paid for kept freezing! May 6, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by McKinley Location Great, Room below average Location at the wharf was great. Our issue was the room. We came in and it was 63F. Turned on the heat and it would not turn off twice. The second time we needed to call maintenance at 2 am because our room was 85F. Woke up an already tired family that did not sleep well for (2) nights because of room temperature control. I thought this was outrageous. Poor water pressure. March 31, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by aynee Great stay We arrived very early and were told if we joined the rewards program we could check in early! Lovely! We were given wonderful adjoining rooms which were modern, bright and perfect. The bedding was amazing and I'm so picky. Down pillows and soft sheets. The fire pits outside are great and they have non-smoking fire areas too. Great location and wonderful place to stay. February 5, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by 1ACFAN Great access to Fisherman's Wharf Very nice hotel in almost everyway except food services for breakfast was limited to cold items and instant oatmeal. Good latte was one welcome in early morning. Being diabetic, I have to be carefull of what I eat so I was somewhat disappointed but I managed. Room was well appointed and very comfortable. I would stay here again if I was staying at Fisherman's Wharf. November 9, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by HubTravelers Great location, nice people, but . . . Great SPG property near Fisherman's Wharf and that tourist area of SF. Perfect if you're doing the tourist thing, like we were. Not as good if you're there for business or shopping, but SF is a small city and it's easy to get around. We got to the property well before check in time on a Saturday, and they were not only able to check us in early, they gave us a choice in rooms (top floor, external, might be a bit loud, or first floor, courtyard, quiet. We chose the former and were quite happy with the room, in general). Staff had printout of local restaurants and local street maps which were very useful. Major annoying thing about the room, the bathroom is split with the toilet and tub in one room, sink and mirror in a separate, outer area. But the light switch is in the outer area, so if you're traveling with a someone else who needs to "go" during the night, that light is going to be illuminating the room like a beacon.

Rated 5 out of 5 by HarryCat Awesome Experience! Stay Here! We moved from another hotel that we were extremely unhappy with. When we arrived at this Sheraton we were warmly greeted. The front desk lady helped us out big time and gave us a great room and even sent up a bottle of wine. It was our anniversary and they treated us amazingly. Very impressed and would not stay anywhere else in San Francisco but here. November 7, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by MDsmit For tourists Tourist hotel by the bay that is not actually by the bay. Nor does it have a view of the bay. Most hotel rooms have a view of other hotel rooms. Bathrooms are extremely tiny and don't even have enough room for towels. Parking is a ridiculous 46 dollars a day in an unpopulated part of San Francisco. Fitness Center is also tiny and has a view of nothing. April 23, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by SStraveler Dump Very tired Hotel with small rooms and minimal staff. Wait times for check-in long and staff seemingly unfriendly. When trying to check-out at 5;00am to catch a 7:00am flight, no staff were present after waiting 15 mins. at either front desk or valet booth to check out and retrieve car. Self-parking prices ridiculous and parking system very inefficient. May 23, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by Steven27 Poor Upond arriving at the hotel I checked in was told breakfast was included in the 4 days we where going to be the for 3 people!! Which was not true!! Also $ 50.00 plus tax to park in the hotel Parkin lot which we where not told at the time of booking!! Unhappy! Getting into our room was extremely hot!!! NO MICROWAVE!! NO REFRIGERATOR!!! SO so unhappy!!! September 9, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Dina1631 Ideal conference location Clean and comfortable room. Staff delivered great customer service. Walking distance to iconic San Francisco city spots, including Fisherman's Wharf, Ferry Building, Ghirardellie Square, ChinaTown, North Beach, and more...near choice restaurants, water front, beach, and short drive to the Golden Gate Bridge! Loved it. May 6, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by worktravel512 Disappointing Sheraton This hotel was disappointing. The bathroom in particular seemed cheap and dirty, and the towels were thin and scratchy. The walls were so thin that I could hear every single alarm clock going off in my neighbors' rooms starting at 5am every morning, and a cable car roaring by every ten minutes. I would not stay at this hotel again. March 26, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by Manju May 10-12 2012 If you like a hotel with attentive bellman, valets and front desk staff...look elsewhere. The only friendly bellman and valet were upon our arrival and departure. In between good luck contacting them. Concierge on Friday...exceptional. Housekeeping staff wonderfully sweet. Nice seating area with gas fire pits outside a nice touch, but usually very messy in that area. Beds absolutely tiny and completely uncomfortable. Front desk people totally snippy. Could have cared less that we were not comfortable in our room. Parking cost outrageous...typical for the city though. The only reason I would ever go back to this hotel is to visit Juanita, one of the housekeeping staff. This was our third stay atthis hotel in the last 12 years....we will look elsewhere next visit. Smart sleeper beds are LOUSY! Rooms are tiny and cramped (double beds are more like twin plus). If you want comfort and friendly staff as a whole, don't spend one second considering this hotel! May 15, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by JKG0515 Very Convenient Was spending the weekend in San Francisco at the end of a 4 day conference. This hotel is conveniently located only a 5 minute walk to Pier 39 and maybe 10 minutes from the Ghiradelli Square and the Cable Car turn around. Staff is very friendly and the room extremely comfortable. Next trip to San Francisco will include a stay here. November 25, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by PosterLars Great Value I unexpectedly needed to say in San Francisco recovering from a fall with a broken leg. We were provide with very comfortable room with great large bathroom that had all the handicap features that helped me feel comfortable. We felt that we were given great value for a reasonable about of money. Staff was helpful and very friendly. November 15, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by irritatedtraveler The Staff is wonderful This was a business retreat that lasted 3 long days. I arrived from the East Coast in a frustrated and bad mood and left after a succesful meeting in a great mood. We were well taken care of. Particular thanks to Vanessa at the front desk for taking care of this traveler who arrived irritated from my trip. What a professional! January 22, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by 13Pam Wonderful Place to stay What a wonderul stay we had at your hotel. Great check-in, super attentive staff and really nice room. Loved the location for walking around the city. Proximity to all and a really nice, clean place. Great coffee in the room and great gathering place for wine, coffee and a quick bite in the morning lobby. Thank you so much. November 25, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by gghumbabe Poor Service -Bellman pushed us a cart and didn't offer to bring bags up. We loaded and struggled with 3 sets of clubs and bags on one cart. -Was not offered different parking options other than the $45 per night which was not initially disclosed. When I asked about them the desk became short with me. -Hotel decor needs major upgrading. February 25, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Chavezx4 Nice...but VERY small room All was great...from the staff to the clean room. Quiet corner room was very nice. The only thing was the room was very small...just wish there would have been more space...especially in the bathroom/vanity/closet area. Not much room for it being a 4 star hotel. Great if you're traveling alone...but not for a family. April 7, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by grandmere Hotel bath and closet area poorly designed No counter space; no towel racks (this is ridiculous); no separate lighting for sink area and shower/toilet area, archaic heating/cooling system, poor lineup of TV channels, one day the maids failed to clean the room, prices in the cafe were outrageously high. The beds were comfortable, the location was good. February 20, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by LKD19 Great location This hotel more than met our expectations for our stay in San Francisco. It was close to many interesting attractions on the wharf that were within walking distance. The hotel staff were very friendly and efficient and they helped with tickets for the sight seeing tour. May 14, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by judykay This hotel is very comfortable, convenient and friendly. We have stayed at this hotel since 1986. We noticed a very friendly and kind staff on this visit. Our room was wonderful. The bed and pillows were like sleeping on a cloud. This hotel is convenient to Safeway across the street, cable car, waterfront and restaurants. We highly recommend Sheraton Fisherman's Wharf. April 24, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by kevinumbc Great location and hotel I had a very nice business stay here and will be coming back in a few weeks. The staff were friendly and the bellhop staff were really great. My only issue was 25 dollars for a breakfast buffett was really dissapointing. I had to go somewhere else as there was no ala carte issue. But overall very nice place. June 7, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Kim271 A Great Vacation Possible by Sheraton Great hotel in great location with exceptionally knowledgeable, pleasant, courteous and professional staff. Concierge are wonderful (P.S.: if you tell Thomas what you have a taste for, he knows where you can best get it from). Sheraton made a great vacation just that more spectacular. Thank you Sheraton!!!

What happens to your dick when it watches a dutch teen on a nudist beach? Definitely it will start saluting. The hot dutch girls flaunting their small yet firm tits and lining of pubic hair on nudist beach can make anyone crazy. But to enjoy this spectacular erotic scene you don't need to spend hundreds of dollars to plan a vacation to dutch beach. Everything is available online. Yes, even here you don't need to pay a cent. Though there are some teen tube sites that will charge hefty fees for young dutch porn. But on you can enjoy teenage models trying to cope up with the killing thrusts from massive dicks in dutch fuck videos.

I just sat down to breakfast after getting my bread machine set to make whole wheat bread, yum yum. Oh, and it's garbage pickup day here, so I had to deal with that in case the trucks are out early. (I doubt that because we got some snow overnight, boo.)
I'm eating scrambled eggs and toast (from the last loaf of homemade bread) with applesauce for the fruit portion of the meal. I have orange pekoe steeping but also used up a little blueberry juice to take my vitamins.
|Wed, 03-28-2012 - 9:01pm
Yep, that's why I don't bake, LOL.
I made my aunt's recipe of sweet and sour meatloaf last night, and half my family loved it and half didn't. So I guess I'll rotate between my two meatloaf recipes now! I loved it. So I just had that as leftover, because I just got home from the gym and I was starving. Then I had 2 bowls of Captain Crunch. :smileyembarrassed:
|Wed, 03-28-2012 - 10:32am
I do the same thing, so there's a reason I make desserts for special occasions and don't have a steady supply of cookies and such. I'd overdo it all the time!
I just had a breakfast wrap (PB and banana) with wildberry juice. Not sure if I'll make a soft-boiled egg to add protein so I can make it to lunchtime or if I'll plan to have a small snack between - it's supposed to be better for the metabolism to eat several smaller meals but I still have a hard time fitting that into my schedule and I don't want to start eating lots of processed snack foods, either...
|Mon, 03-26-2012 - 7:07pm
I'm drinking decaf orange pekoe now.
|Mon, 03-26-2012 - 4:35pm
I just finished my 2nd cup of coffee, and 2 boiled eggs. Drinking pink lemonade Crystal Lite.

I'm drinking chocolate mint tea because I found some today! :D

I think I'll have cereal for a light snack later. Supper was filling - burgers and fries.

Recently unveiled at Milan Design Week, DALA furniture is made entirely from a new material developed by German firm DEDON. Created by young American designer Stephen Burks, these brilliant, resourceful pieces are entirely made from recyclable and recycled materials including food and drink packaging. A trip to Senegal and a few meetings with local skillful artisans was Burks' starting point for developing this eco-friendly happy collection.
DALA Furniture is made by delicately weaving DEDON's new material of recycled packaging mixed with recyclable polyethylene through an aluminum structural mesh. It consists of a lounge chair, an ottoman, and a stool that doubles up as side table. Lightweight, brilliant and made from loads of landfill diverted waste, DALA perfectly combines skillful techniques with a luxurious style.

Since moving this blog over to Patheos I am aware that there are a good number of new readers on board. Welcome! I hope you come often and stay to look around.
My story is this: I grew up in Pennsylvania in a devout, conservative Evangelical home. After high school I went to the fundamentalist Bob Jones University in Greenville, South Carolina. While there I became and Anglican through a little breakaway church from Episcopalianism. Struck with a severe case of Anglophilia from reading C.S.Lewis and T.S.Eliot I had a dream of being an Anglican priest in England.
I went to study theology at Oxford and was ordained into the Anglican Church. I served as a curate in East Sussex, a chaplain to Kings College in Cambridge, and then a country vicar on the Isle of Wight. I got married and had two children, then we converted to the Catholic Church. For ten years I served as a Catholic layman working for a small Catholic charity and writing books and articles. One of the books is More Christianity--a pun on C.S.Lewis' famous book Mere Christianity. This book is a friendly introduction to the Catholic Church for Evangelical Christians. I've also written about a dozen other books and booklets you can browse here.
In 2006 my wife and now four children, moved to the United States and I was called to be ordained as a Catholic priest. This was possible, even though I had a wife and children, through the Pastoral Provision–a special measure set up by Pope John Paul II enabling married former Anglican priests to be ordained as Catholic priests. I worked first as chaplain to a Catholic high school in Greenville, SC and now am pastor of Our Lady of the Rosary Parish.
My conversion story has been published several places, and I've collected some of them in the 'Conversion Stories' section of the 'Archived Articles' section of this blog. Some of them you can read free of charge, some others are longer and a small download fee is charged. There are also two audio files of my conversion story. One is My Journey to the Catholic Church and the second, Priesthood, Promise and Providence tells how God worked in a wonderful way to open the door to my eventual ordination as a Catholic priest.
I hope new readers will enjoy the blog, get involved in the comments and visit often. Thanks for visiting!

Gmail for Android now allows you to save to Drive
James Pearce May 20, 2014 Android, Google (Android), Software (Android) No Comments
Attachments to emails can sometimes be a little bit annoying, having to save the file locally and then upload it to the Cloud afterwards. Obviously not everyone works like this, but I know I sure do.
Google have updated their Gmail for Android app, adding amongst other things the ability to upload attachments to your Google Drive account. Which is handy, albeit rather over simplified at the moment. Mainly because it saves the file to the root of the storage and doesn't allow you any choices. No doubt extra functionality will come in future updates.
To get the update just head over to the Play Store and update your apps. You may find your device has already done it for you. Which is rather kind of it.

Global Water Sustainability Forum (GWSF) Ambassadors Program
The Project
The Mari Monument offers people the opportunity to experience art as a way to communicate important ideas and visions about our civilization. Conveying new ideas through images is a universal language that artists have participated in historically, and artist Osprey Orielle Lake is a true contributor to this tradition.
Due to Lake's dedication to designing images that give movement to a heavy dense metal like bronze, sculpted water moves graciously around the central figure. This movement mirrors Lake's efforts to uplift our thoughts towards a hopeful future and a celebration of nature.
The Artist has stated "The placement of these statues is intended to build an encouraging bridge between cultures and to share our universal love of water. Our united relationship to our world must take on a balanced and healthier course. I designed the Mari Monument with the intent that the monument be a pertinent visual and inspirational statement that charts the way towards this healthier course."
"Mari, Waters of Life" is a public monument that celebrates the waters of the world that unite us. Osprey Orielle Lake's vision is to place eight beautiful 5.5 meter tall (18 feet tall) bronze Mari Monuments worldwide in coastal cities or in waterfront cities near lakes or rivers.
Ms. Lake has said, "My wish is that the Mari Monument can be a symbol of hope and life at the heart of each city where the statue is placed. Throughout history, societies around the world have recognized water as a symbol of life. In this project I am endeavoring to bring our attention to our united need to care for all life on earth. This fact of our unity is represented in the statue by the earth medallions that adorn Mari's belt. The earth medallions show us that it is the oceans that interconnect us on every continent. The great waters have been our roadways since ancient times. The world's oceans and rivers have guided humans around our planet and in our discovery of the different continents and one another."
To celebrate cultural diversity in our new millennium, the Mari Monument portrays a beautiful history column, which stands next to the figure in the statue. On this column are images of ancient and modern ships from around the world, representing the many nations and peoples of the world, and how we all share the earth's waters in common. On this column Ms. Lake will include a local ship honoring the peoples and the history of the region where each monument is placed.
If you would like to see another international monument project by artist, Osprey Orielle Lake, please visit the Cheemah Monument website at:
Thank you for sharing. It is wonderful to hear you voice.
In friendship,
Jenna Kellam
Thanks, Rosemary. Osprey Orielle Lake's monuments are beautiful tributes to our relationship to water.
Warm wishes,
I went on the website to see this work and it is amazing! It does look so fluid, its hard to believe it made of metal! I think it is so important to know and appreciate the symbolism of the natural world. Just like art these symbols often represent an international language that can be understood across nations, languages and cultures. Taking a step to understand the symbolism behind this beautiful artwork is taking a step toward compassion and understanding in the world. Thank you so much for sharing it! Maybe an online gallery would be a good addition to pulsewire.
I will!
Thank you Rosemary,
I definitely will spread the word!
