I'm back!!!
*******Check Out My Rolling KegeratorBierMuncher Tried & Trues: Tits-Up IIPA (3-Time Medalist), Black Pearl Porter, Kona Pale Ale, Outer Limits IPA, Centennial Blonde (4.0%), Nierra Sevada (SNPA), SWMBO Slayer Belgian Blonde,
you are forgiven I'm sure
Jay"All right, brain, I don't like you, and you don't like me, so let's just do this and I'll get back to killing you with beer." - Homer Simpson
Let the dog's clean the plates... Two chores done j/k I love the rolling kegerator and may have to build me one of those...
Looks great BM, it's SURE to be a hit! Love the removable drip tray....you might find that, especially outdoors, the tray may be more hassle than it's worth... The only thing I have to say that I would do differently, is that as great as the stained board looks, I really liked the way the taps followed the curve of the front of the bin when they were fitted directly to the plastic. The board just doesn't follow the curve and sticks out quite a bit on both ends. I would have maybe used another material that I could curve around the bin and get back that nice curved effect on the taps. I am thinking a piece of checkerplate/stainless/aluminum etc that would roll rigth around it. Another option might be a piece or possibly a double thickness of lamanite benchtop, like Formica. Then you could use any pattern you like. Last thing I can see that might be a problem is the spigot. I hope no one steps on it, or kicks it accidently. Not a problem until you piece the liner I guess. rather than poking holes in the bag and using the spigot, you could just tip it on its side, or use an autosiphon to empty it. Not criticising in any way mate, it's AWESOME!, just doing what I do.. and making some observations. So what's going to be pouring from the three taps?
Wow...That's sweet.

With the cold and wind being predicted for Thursday and Friday, I thought I'd throw a blanket over the hellebore blossoms and then put a big black tub over the blanket in an effort to keep the worst of the cold/wind from the plant.
Do you think this will save the buds? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Are you trying to save developed flower buds? My one hybrid that has a white flower ready to open and another bud, is as limp as a wet noodle already. H. foetidus I'll just leave alone. For a day or two, I would try it. But I wouldn't do it all winter. The few times I tried putting a plastic container to protect a marginal plant for an extended period of time didn't work out good. Both died. |
I was going to try it just to get them through tomorrow and Friday - they've got buds just about to open and I don't want to lose them, if I can help it. |
- Posted by agardenstateof_mind 7a/b NJ (My Page) on Wed, Jan 24, 07 at 20:54
Sounds like a safe and reasonable effort to me, especially if you're careful that it doesn't overheat in the sun during the day. I don't know how much good it would do, with the lows we're expecting, but it couldn't hurt to put a few gallons of water in there to act as thermal mass. Last winter a teepee made of bamboo garden stakes and some solar pool cover material (ultra-heavyweight bubble wrap) left over from the greenhouse insulation project was effective in protecting some over-eager buds on my tree peony. I placed three one-gallon milk jugs inside, and made sure to vent it on sunny days so as not to cook the poor thing. I'm glad you brought this up - I'll be outside tomorrow rigging up some protection where needed. |
My plants were ventilated also. Could be they were going to bite the dust anyway. |
The water is an excellent idea - thanks. |
- Posted by pontesmanny z6/7 S NJ (My Page) on Sat, Jan 27, 07 at 8:18
My friend protected camellias and they died, mine in the same zip code did fine. My impression is that the hellebore buds should be fine. I guess we shall see. How did your hellebores survive, njtea |
Here is a hellebore that took the cold better than the rest. This one is near the meeting building at Frelinghuysen. Mostly the other hellebores went flat except for H. foetidus. It has a cultivar name "Old Early Purple" - Helleborus orientalis.
Unfortunately, Pontesmanny, I was quite ill for several days and didn't have the energy to get out and remove the protection on the hellebores until Sunday. They are still pretty flopped over so maybe my scheme didn't work. Guess I'll know if the temps get above freezing at my place today. |
- Posted by vickster Z7aNJ (email@example.com) on Tue, Jan 30, 07 at 16:18
This msg is for njtea: A few years ago, you sent 3 helleborus to me for which I was very grateful. This is the first time that one of the plants have buds and hopefully, won't get too cold and blossom. Would I normally cover them when the temps drop in our area in NJ? Currently, they have a few leftover pine needles over them loosely but they are covered with snow but it is melting. Do you use a mulch? Vicki |
Hi,Vicki, I was wondering earlier this week if the ones I'd sent you had survived. I'm so glad they did and that they have buds! Down where you are, I think I'd leave them alone. I'm not certain that my experiment was helpful or harmful and with the weather that is expected up north here this weekend and beyond, I'm also not certain any of the buds will survive (unless we get a good snow cover). BTW, I do still have lots of babies if anyone is interested. |

By: Cassie Hart
A Minneapolis man has filed a lawsuit against four Roseville Police officers.
In the suit, Victor Yair Hernandez-Rivera, 25, claims the officers used excessive force and had a false arrest. Hernandez was a passenger in a car that was speeding last May. The driver pulled over, jumped out of the car and ran.
Squad car dash cam shows Hernandez got out of the car about a minute and a half later and raised both hands, with his cellphone in his right hand.
The officer then told him to get on the ground and then allegedly slammed him to the ground, which shattered his cellphone. He then allegedly jumped on Hernandez and used his stun gun, according to the suit.
Hernandez understands little English.
All charges against Hernandez were dropped. He's looking for $500,000 from the defendants and to pay for all of his fees.

Asking for advice?
Hi masters,
There are so many programming languages in the world. So...ah... does a programmer hava to know or skill at much or all or these programmiing languages.
If he is at home in only one language, will it be enough for him?
I'm really a computer novice and I don't know programming but starts to be interested in it.
Thanks for your reading and advice.

Depends on what you wanna do. If you wanna become an IT-professional that is specialised in a few tasks, or if you're gone have a broader area of expertise.
One language can go a long way. If you for instance only wanna do webprogramming, then being an expert in PHP can be sufficient.

Odona you are way off-topic. I realize the author of the thread doesn't seem to mind, but I do. Not only that, it's important to stay on topic so that when people have the same question as iota, they can read this thread to find an answer. Odona, I advise you to start a new thread in the Html/CSS forum. I'll be deleting the off-topic posts in this one.

I use a Mac and I need a program to covert mkvs and other episode formats into ones that will work with Final Cut. I really need help in this! PLEASE HELP!
MPEG Streamclip will take others into a FCP format. For MKV you'll have to convert to something else first. If you don't need subtitles then you could probably get away with just demuxing the streams and importing those into FCP. Assuming you've got an Intel mac, FCP can read H.264 and I believe all versions that aren't like 5 years old can read AAC audio, which is what most anime mkvs will demux to.
I've got no clue how to do all of that on a Mac though.

By LARRY VAUGHT
Veteran college football writer Dick Weiss of the New York Daily News likes what he has seen from new Kentucky football coach Mark Stoops. Weiss, who recently was named the 40th winner of the Bert McGrane Award given member of the Football Writers Association of America, has covered college football with purpose and integrity for 30 years.
Weiss has covered college sports for the New York Daily News since 1993 and before that held a similar post for 10 years at the Philadelphia Daily News. He has covered 40 NCAA Final Fours and 28 national championship college football game.
He shared his thoughts on Stoops and what he could do for Kentucky football.
Question: What is the perception of new UK football coach Mark Stoops nationally?
Weiss: "I think the family itself has created its own heritage. All of them have been successful as assistants and all of them have become head coaches. It is that whole Youngstown (Ohio) thing with (Jim) Tressell and Bo Pelini. It is a hard-nose football where they understand how to get things done. For the most part their defenses have been very, very good.
"I would rather try it with a young kid like this than this just another recycled coach or just elevate from the bottom. Just by osmosis, some of this stuff has to sink in. His brothers were pretty good at what they did. His one brother struggled as a head coach at Arizona, but he was an exceptional defensive coordinator and Bob won a national championship at Oklahoma and is always around the rock pile every year.
"When he came, I just had the feeling he was going to be able to use the brand name the family had built up to pick up much better recruits than this program is used to and spread his wings a lot further in terms of recruiting and getting into other states and having more credibility in the deep South, particularly Florida."
Question: What do you think of the staff he has assembled?
Weiss: "I think this may be the best staff Kentucky has ever had top to bottom. He knows the business well enough, and if he doesn't his brother Bob has a great mind in the business. I guarantee you they talked. There were conversations about who he should get to fill certain positions. It looks like they made all the right moves with the staff.
"You don't hear anybody out there questioning anything about their staff. I have had questions about the previous coach, and maybe the previous three or four coaches that they have had in this program. At least he is going to give himself a chance to win. I didn't always think Kentucky football had a chance to win."
Question: What do you know about knew offensive coordinator Neal Brown?
Weiss: "He actually spent some time in Connecticut. He has been at Texas Tech, so he has been in the big leagues. He is young, so he will have youthful ideas. I am hoping that they aren't afraid to open it up. The key for them is going to be defense. They have to be able to stop people, particularly the mid-major teams who have put over 30 points on the board. He has to find a way to keep the scores in the high 20's to win against those teams he plays in the SEC.
"His division sadly has gotten a lot better in the last two or three years. Take away Alabama and LSU, and that's taking away a lot, but I think the East was a deeper division this year and frankly Georgia came very close to being in the (national) championship themselves."
Question: What is a realistic time frame to give a new coach in the SEC to build his program?
Weiss: "You need at least three years, and maybe even a fourth, to know for sure. After a fourth, you will know. It is not fair to him to not give him a full recruiting cycle. Or I don't think it is. This is not going to be like Tennessee where you knew it was time for a change after three years. Kentucky has never won a national championship like Tennessee had. They never have had those Peyton Manning moments like Tennessee did in the early 1990's or championship team that won the Fiesta Bowl. Kentucky is always struggling to get to those second-tier bowls and struggling to get any quality wins at all. I am hoping this guy can turn that around. I know one thing, if he does, the fan support will be through the roof. It was through the roof when they lost until this past year. I wouldn't want to count the attendance last year, but those Kentucky fans love football and will go crazy for a winner like I think he can be."

Dillon - We need a break
Aldershot boss Kevin Dillon has admitted that his side need a fluke goal to get back on the scoresheet.The Shots have only managed four goals in six league games so far but Dillon is confident that they will soon be back on track.He said: "I am currently happy with everything except the final third."We are creating and missing chances. Manny Panther had a header and Marvin Morgan had a couple of chances up at Port Vale but to be honest somebody will need to score off their backside or something."It will probably be a wild effort from Ben Herd or somebody who has never scored for us."

Judge Brown was unmoved, noting that not once had Nicholson asked the forgiveness of the United States. She sentenced him to eight additional years in prison; he is now scheduled to be released in 2024, from a federal penitentiary in Florence, Colorado. The Bureau of Prisons declined my request to interview Nicholson, citing security concerns. Nathan, too, declined to speak.
Jeremiah was the only child willing to comment. "My father is a very charismatic and likable man," Jeremiah wrote to me in an e-mail. "Perhaps it was because our father had been imprisoned for the better part of my brother's life and he wanted to feel a connection to him, something that he may have felt he lost being separated from him for so long. I honestly don't know."
It's unclear if Nicholson failed entirely in his plot. Officials believe that Nicholson may have sent letters to the Russians before Nathan's involvement, and his cellmate, Quackenbush, told me about an inch-thick sheaf of "memoirs" that Nicholson had him mail to his parents, Marvin and Betty, after Quackenbush's release from county jail in 2002. That package may have been intended for the Russians.
On a windy February evening, I drove to Marvin and Betty's house in Eugene and knocked on their door. Marvin, who is Nicholson's stepfather, is a short and pleasant man who seems remarkably spry for his age. He invited me in cheerfully, and stepping into the hall, I got a silent nod from his wife, a plump woman who was sitting on the couch watching television with her feet up and curlers in her hair.
Marvin and Betty maintain that they never received any package of the kind Quakenbush described. They didn't allow me to press them on the matter. Outside, on the porch, wind chimes tinkled in the breeze. The sound carried into the house, and standing in the hallway, I felt as if I were listening to the anthem of a private nation walled off from the rest of the United States, the nation of Nicholson, the only nation to which he now appeared to swear his allegiance.
This may have been the nation that Nathan inhabited during the two years of his secretive travels. Not anymore. In the letter to Judge Brown, which he gave to her before his sentencing, he said he was finished with living the spy fantasy his father had lured him to dream about. He had finally realized that he wanted to live for himself, not for his father's approval. Since his release from county jail in April 2010, he wrote, he had completed over eighty-four college credits and transferred to Oregon State University, where he was now studying sustainability engineering. "Ultimately, I decided I needed to stop living like a child with my head in the clouds, and start acting like a man."

Utah forecast: Hot, mostly clear skies statewide
The Pillsbury Dough Boy would be a lot more than "poppin' fresh" under Utah's sunny skies as the work week got underway.
Think of an over-baked croissant, and you might have it right: temperatures along the Wasatch Front on Tuesday, mirroring Monday's forecast, were to reach 90 degrees. Along the state's southern reaches, the mercury was to climb into triple-digits.
Nothing to giggle a "Hoo-Hoo!" about, unless you take precautions like generously applying sunblock lotion, donning a sun hat and drinking plenty of water while under the sun's rays.
The Utah Division of Air Quality gave "yellow," or compromised air quality grades for most of the state as the week began, with only Box Elder, Cache, Tooele and Carbon counties getting "green," or healthy ratings.
The Intermountain Allergy & Asthma website listed only mold at "high" levels with grass and plantain pollen at "moderate" levels.

ALCORN ROBERTA W. (nee ARMSTRONG)
Deceased on November 15, 2012, age 102, of Oakmont, formerly of Penn Hills. Wife for 59 years of the late Charles W. Alcorn; mother of Barbara L. Alcorn and Robert C. Alcorn (Ruth D.) of Oakmont; grandmother of Emily, Anne, and Janice Alcorn; sister of Robert F. Armstrong, and the late Grace Marks and Ann Armstrong; also survived by nephews and nieces. Mrs. Alcorn was a volunteer at St. Margaret Memorial Hospital for 56 years and was the only active volunteer of the original group remaining from the program established in 1956 at the hospital which was then situated in Lawrenceville. In the fall of 2006, at the age of 95, she was honored at UPMC St. Margaret Hospital in Aspinwall for 50 years volunteer service. Roberta retired from volunteering the end of October 2012, one week before her 102nd birthday. In the past, Roberta also served on the Women's Board of the hospital. Roberta Alcorn was an avid knitter. She not only used this talent to knit sweaters for her family and friends, but she expanded her talent to outreach programs for years; first by knitting children's sweaters for the Penn Hills Service Association's Joy of Christmas Giving project and later lap afghans for the patients at Health South Rehabilitation Center in Harmarville, residents of Presbyterian Senior Care in Oakmont, and for Riverview Community Action Center in Oakmont that donates the items to veterans. She also sewed clothes for herself, and her family for many years, and made many kinds of chocolate candy for family and friends. In 1973, when her husband retired, the couple began walking the loop from their home in Rosedale to the Hulton Bridge and back. Twice they walked to Pittsburgh. Roberta continued walking daily in her local neighborhood for years after her husband's death in 1996. In 1997 and 1998, she also participated with a group from her church in the Habitat for Humanity Hike for Housing Walk. Roberta Alcorn was an active parishioner at All Saints Episcopal Church, Rosedale in Penn Hills, for decades where she held leadership positions in the former Women of the Church group. Mrs. Alcorn had also served on the Episcopal Diocese of Pittsburgh Women's Board. In 2011, when she was 100, Roberta returned to St. Thomas Memorial Episcopal Church, Oakmont to worship as a family in the church she and her husband attended together after they were married. For decades, Roberta was a member of the Rosedale Volunteer Fire Dept., Penn Hills #2, Ladies' Auxiliary and served in leadership capacities for that group. She and her husband, an antique car enthusiast, were members of The Horseless Carriage Club. Roberta was employed as a secretary until her marriage in August, 1937. If desired, contributions may be made to The Bed Fund, c/o UPMC St. Margaret Hospital, 815 Freeport Road, Pittsburgh, PA 15215 or St. Thomas Memorial Episcopal Church, 378 Delaware Avenue, Oakmont, PA 15139. NO VIEWING OR VISITATION. Funeral Service at St. Thomas Memorial Episcopal Church at 11 a.m. on Monday, November 19, 2012. EVERYONE PLEASE MEET AT THE CHURCH.

Skyrim developer Bethesda Game Studios has said new Skyrim DLC for the PS3 and PC versions of its dragony adventure are 'close'. The update came via Twitter and offered no further information, although the dev also tweeted 'Thanks to all our fans. We think you'll love the new stuff. We know it takes us time and thanks for all your support and patience!'
Bethesda hasn't released any of Skyrim's three add-on packs--Dawnguard, Hearthfire, Dragonborn--for PS3, blaming performance issues. Last month, Bethesda's vice president of marketing, Pete Hines, also chose Twitter to update on the situation, although the update was that there was no update: "I don't have any info on Hearthfire, Dawnguard, or DLC in general for PS3. We're still on it. Will share update when I have one."
So while this latest update from Bethesda Game Studios still doesn't offer anything as solid as an actual DLC delivery schedule for PS3 owners, it's an indication that the dev has made a breakthrough in making the game run--at the very least--to an acceptable standard on Sony's machine.
Skyrim Dragonborn DLC is scheduled to release for Xbox 360 on 4 December.

Selena Gomez's Halloween Costume: Katy Perry!
What has blue hair and an ice cream bikini? Selena Gomez on Halloween.
In a live chat with JustJared.com, the Disney star said, "I'm going to be Katy Perry for Halloween. It's the 'California Gurls' [music video] outfit with the blue hair. I'm so excited."
The newly-18 and upcoming pop star confessed that she's played some trick of her own, claiming she TP-ed someone's house who wasn't nice to her.
Watch out, everyone. If you mess with the The Wizards of Waverly Place star, she might just pull something out of her sleeve when you're not looking.

Why Joe Six-Pack Pays $11 a Beer Bottle
"The bigger bottles were initially intended to get placements in different outlets that didn't have the space nor the inclination to carry higher-end six-pack packages," Manley says, referring to such venues as convenience stores and smaller shops. "Since the release, however, we've found that many stores simply prefer the variety -- we often get requests from grocery outlets and chains to stock both our six-pack product and our 24-ounce bottles."
The bomber has a low buy-in price for the beer novice, but that doesn't always mean it's a great deal. The Portland, Ore.-based blog It's Pub Night went bomber shopping last year and discovered that, by ounce of beer, the unit price of 22-ounce bottles carried a penalty for shoppers who picked them over six packs. A $3.39 22-ounce bottle of Anchor Steam, for example, would cost $11.09 as a six-pack given its per-ounce price, but an actual six-pack went for $9.29, putting the bomber at a $1.80 premium. Matt Simpson, owner of The Beer Sommelier and TheBeerExpert.com, says that premium is just the bitter aftertaste of supply and demand.
"The fact is, counterintuitively, these big bottles command greater prices, per unit volume, than identical or similar beers in smaller vessels," Simpson says. "As long as people are willing to pay these higher prices, the breweries will continue marking up their profit percentages."
That small upfront price and big markup is working. The Symphony IRI market research group says that "craft single 22-ounce glass" sales are up 34.4% during the first six months of 2011 from the same period last year.
That's creating a healthy buzz within the entire craft-beer industry, which saw overall sales climb 14% by volume and 15% in dollar value during the first six months of the year. That's after an 11% jump in volume and 12% revenue increase last year that took craft beer from a 9 million-barrel, $7 billion industry in 2009 to a 10 million-barrel, $7.6 billion beast last year. But why are beer drinkers willing to pay a premium for a larger bottle and smaller sampling size? Simpson says the answer lies in human perception, buying habits and raw psychology. "The average craft-beer drinker is not only a very social animal -- who typically loves to share his beverage of choice with friends and family -- but doesn't typically compare prices when searching for 'the next big thing,'" Simpson says. "They typically sample whatever beers are on their radar -- no matter the vessel size." Free-spending craft-beer lovers make it tempting to bring in the bombers, but sometimes the big bottle just isn't the best fit for a brewer. When Lakewood, N.Y.,-based Southern Tier Brewing launched in 2002, it shipped some of its beers in six packs and 22-ounce bottles until the market told it otherwise. "We experimented with putting out regular IPA into 22-ounce bottles when we first started doing that in 2004 or 2005 and we were kind of competing with ourselves on that one," Southern Tier spokesman Nathan Aranone says. "We were taking some thunder away from the six packs, so we decided to switch to only imperial beers in the big bottles."Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Murray aims to end career-best year on a high
Published on Sep 30, 2012 9:58 PM
TOKYO (Reuters) - Andy Murray has promised to end the year on a high after a career-best season in which he captured Olympic gold and ended Britain's 76-year wait for a men's grand slam champion.
The 25-year-old begins his defence of the Japan Open title on Monday in Tokyo, where he faces Frenchman Gael Monfils in his first match since his New York triumph earlier this month.
"It will be a tough first match against Monfils," Murray told reporters. "I've played him I think five times and lost to him a couple of times. He's a great athlete."
The Scot, who also reached his first Wimbledon final this year, said he was hungry for more success before looking back at a job well done in 2012.

Route 67 Store and Cafe a homey spot for breakfast, lunch
By Caroline Lee/For The Sunday Gazette
The Frugal Forager
It looks like just a gas station if you're whizzing down Route 67 at 55 miles per hour, but if you slow down you'll see it's a small country cafe and specialty goods shop. It's the Route 67 Country Store and Cafe, and it's worth a look....

Rated 4.1 out of 5 by 1098
Rated 4 out of 5 by AmiK generally good experience
I was pleasantly surprised to be upgraded to a club room. The down side - the room didn't have a bed, just a pull out couch (more comfortable than most pull out couches but less comfortable than a bed - also - there were no pillows or extra blankets in the room, had to ask for those). The plus: nice view, access to the club lounge (*Very* nice). Wish I'd had more time to use the gym, which looked fabulous. Food (I was there for a conference so ate a lot of meals at the hotel) was decent. All staff were polite, professional, and helpful. Fantastic location near the water and Pike's Market and other destinations. Overall, enjoyed my experience -but next time might prefer to stick with the original (bed only) room!

Rated 1 out of 5 by CAM3 disappointing
My stay was extremely disappointing. when I checked in (after a 2 hour delay because my room was not ready) I was given a room that was not cleaned. the bed unmade and towels on the chairs and floor. two days later I requested clean towels (I asked to be removed from the green program - because it means they don't make the bed or clean anything - and found that there was no follow through; I returned from working out, had no towels and had the unpleasant experience of going to a business dinner without having been able to really clean up. I complained, was assured this would be corrected and it occurred again the next night of my stay. they kept apologizing but never corrected anything. I will never stay there again.

Rated 2 out of 5 by SCAttendee This Hotel Needs Improvement
I was in Seattle for a conference. The hotel is a great location, but they seem completely overwhelmed when they have a large number of convention delegates. I was in the hotel three nights. 1) On two mornings I had no hot water in my shower. It was luke warm at best and nearly cold. 2) There was no land line internet hook up, but free wifi. That sounds nice until you try to use it. The service was so slow I gave up. In fact, I would often be timed out. So I ended up doing all my business on my Blackberry at a huge cost. 3) There was no paper on my door in the morning. Two days this was OK, as I could pick up a copy at the desk. But the third day there were no papers. I was told as a Gold SPG memeber I should have had paper.

Rated 5 out of 5 by deerisle Beautiful Property
I had a wonderful stay at this property. I was attending a conference at this hotel, and the front desk staff kindly arranged for a Platinum upgrade. The room was wonderful and clean. The service in the club lounge was excellent, and the food was on par to slightly better than other club lounges in major cities. I was very pleased with the service throughout the hotel. The location was also very nice. I was visiting in January, so I didn't get to explore too much of the city due to the weather, but the hotel appeared to be near lots of activities. There are also lots of restaurants and shops within walking distance.
I would definitely return to this property and bring my family if we took a trip to this part of the west coast.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Holyloktar Great hotel; room keys need help
This hotel is in the city center of Seattle and a perfect location to get to anywhere. The Sound Tranzit station is just a block away where you can take the train to the airport, the stadiums and anywhere in between. It is within walking distance to Pike's Market which is always a fun place to walk. It's also within walking distance (a few blocks) to the Underground tour which is quite interesting.
I stayed at the hotel for three nights and unfortunately had to have my card re-keyed every single night. It's quite frustrating to get back to the hotel expecting to crash after a long day of work and have to go back down to the front desk to have the card re-keyed. I can sort of understand one night, but two in a row? Something needs to be fixed.

Rated 3 out of 5 by R2LOrcas Good Location Very Average
I have stayed at all Starwood hotels in the Seattle/Bellevue area and this was hands down our least favorite. It meets all the prerequisites but is uninteresting. I can't speak for all the rooms but ours was sparsely decorated (large room with no seating) small tv and nothing much more. It was loud and we didn't have hot water one morning. The lounge, bar, and daily grill all are OK. None exceeding but most meeting our needs. The location is very good for shopping and visiting the market etc. I would chose the Westin or W first. The Daily Grill is neat and the staff was friendly but seemed to be inexperienced and the food was well below our expectations. Both self-park and valet are terribly expensive, but that is someone to be expected downtown.

Rated 2 out of 5 by RLHSFO71 Do SPG. Elites matter anymore?
You always market a separate check in line to expedite check n and check out. The Seattle Sheraton elite check in position isnkt roped off and it's confusing for everyone. That said it eliminates a benefit that you're promising to platinum members like myself. Example: When I'm in a hurry to check out and there's a line 20 people deep I can't get checked out in timely manner and I don't want to cut the line because its not clear to the 20 odd people in line as to who can or cannot use the spg elite desk. This really needs to be improved.

Rated 3 out of 5 by twobittedtodeath Hotels likes to two bit you
It's bad enough that you have to pay $11/night for internet in your room, which you can get for free in the public spaces (ie even hallways), but they even cheaped out on the use of their own coupons. I took the green options (no housekeeping) for environmental reasons as well as the $5 coupon. Was told it would be redeemed for any food or stores in the hotel...so I decided to enjoy those chocolate bars in the hotel; turns out they were NOT allowed use for the $5 coupon. Guess they don't make any profit on those $4 chocolate bars...

Rated 5 out of 5 by Xray77 Convenient and comfortable
This hotel is centrally located and within walking distance to the waterfront, great restaurants and attractions. The rooms are clean and comfortable and there are many facilities including restaurants, lounges and facilities fior airline e-check-in and printing boarding passes. The drawback was the rooms are not well soundproofed and noise and TV from adjoining rooms can ruin your sleep.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Disapponted Disappointed
We stay here every Christmas (and sometimes in between). We always stay in the club level and pay extra points. This time, the reservation was not correct (we were not in the club level) but the staff gave us access for $15. The new tower we found to be very noisy: slamming doors, road noise (11th floor), etc. It is a very central location, which is why we always stay here. Just a bit disappointed with the hassle this time. We also have never found there to be any benefit in the Gold membership with Starwood as far as upgrades.

Rated 1 out of 5 by havebusinesswilltravel The worst customer service received at a sheraton to date.
First of all, I have stayed here before, I have given this hotel a good review in the past, and obviously every stay can be different. Unfortunately this stay was, and currently is not up to par. The whole reason for this negative review is customer service. My wife checked us into the hotel as I had to stay late at our office. I will say it's my fault I did not put her on the reservation so she had a hard time checking in. Once checked in she was "upgraded" to a room that did not appear to have been cleaned. At this point she did not want to deal with the hotel because of her ordeal checking in so I called in from the office. The person on the phone was quite rude to me and in a very glib tone tells me "well sir, she is more than welcome to go down to the front desk at any time to change rooms" Okay, I say well can you move her to a club floor lounge as we are platinum members. He says there is room, so my wife goes downstairs and she is moved not to the club floor but to another lower level room in the other towers, she is not excited but at least it is clean. I called in to speak with the manager about all this and am told she is busy, Okay so I leave a message. I am not even given the courtesy of a return call to my message. Frankly I am floored. My wife likened it to feeling like she "booked on priceline" and was given the second class citizen treatment. There are several 4 star hotels in downtown Seattle that are cheaper; we book at SPG properties for our platinum status, and the service that comes along with an SPG property. The ball was dropped, and dropped miserably on this stay. Again, this is not a comment on the hotel as a whole, it's a comment on how we were treated this stay. Maybe it didn't help that we stayed at a St. Regis the night before, but should not all SPG properties aspire to have that level of customer service?

We loved this hotel, it's location is perfect the condition of the hotel and upgraded rooms are great. We reserved a deluxe room and were fortunate to be given a corner room which we really enjoyed the extra views of the city...thank you.
We had one slip and that was we had our do not disturb sign on until after we got back from breakfast at 11am and the staff didn't come back to clean after we removed the sign so we had no clean towels,glasses etc. We called down and only got towels delivered no other cleaning service.

Rated 1 out of 5 by disappointedtraveler1 Service Needs Significant Improvement
During our four night stay in Seattle my fiancé and I had continuous service issues with every aspect of the hotel. Restaurant service was unsatisfactory and problem resolution impolite. After the first night we attempted to switch hotels but could not do so due to a pre-paid reservation. We are both Starwood Gold and would expect more from a hotel at this category. I have a block of 40 rooms booked at the Sheraton for my wedding in August and as a result of this I am considering moving the block to a new hotel.

Rated 2 out of 5 by FrequentBusinessTraveler Poor SPG Recognition and Service
Check-in is disorganized. I've stayed at this property close to a dozen times in the past year. There is a check-in line for SPG gold/platinum members that is significantly slower than the regular check-in line. On 2 occassions now, I've had to wait an excess of 20 minutes to check-in which is completely unacceptable for any hotel. Didn't get upgraded to a club room despite the fact that the person before me was asked to pay to upgrade to a club room and decline meaning there was at least 1 club room available.

Rated 5 out of 5 by sereneab Great hotel for enjoying a weekend in Seattle
This hotel was in a great location for a weekend trip to Seattle. We were visiting the city to go to a Seahawks game. Very close to the train station and shopping and restaurants. The room was well designed, a nice size and the bed and furnishings were all comfortable. The lobby was very welcoming, and although we didn't spend time in the lobby they've made a nice effort to make it inviting. It also has a nice restaurant, good lounge and room service. I'd stay at this hotel again and recommend it to friends.

Rated 4 out of 5 by GWT1954 Seattle Sheraton
This Sheraton is not the fanciest I've stayed in but it has all the other amenities. Great location, close walking distance to bars, restaurants, shopping, light rail stop from airport, etc.
But what sets it apart is the great staff that works here. Very knowledge and always with a smile, willing to help in any way they can.
About the only bad thing to say is if you drive a car, you can only valet it at the hotel. Otherwise there are other parking garages close by that you can park at for a cheaper price.

My daughter and I come this same weekend every year. She attends a convention nearby and I enjoy the hotel and the city. Staff are very friendly. We stayed on the club floor and the lounge with cont. breakfast and yummy evening snacks with hot dishes like chicken in puff pastry made it worth the little extra. I had a small problem Friday and Rose, the evening manager, was wonderful and took care of it right away! I love the wonderful beds and the toiletries have a incredible fragrance. Be back next year!!

Rated 4 out of 5 by jeff great location, great service.
The location of this hotel is great. Only a few blocks from pikes market and the monorail. Upon my arrival, I was greeted by the desk clerck and acknowledged as a starwood member. I asked if the had a suite available and she upgraded me to a fabulous suite. The room was nicely decorated and so were the bathrooms. The lobby was open but the lounging area was somewhat hidden, but nice none the less. The club lounge was large and comfortable, with the best evening food selection I have seen from a Sheraton.

I often stay at Starwood locations - lines were not properly marked and i waited 30 minutes in a SPG line get to the front and they wouldn't help me and send me to the back of the regular line to wait another 25 minutes. get to the front and have to wait over 4 hours to check in to my room. Get back that night and room services takes over two hours to be delivered. If you know it's a busy weekend ramp up your stay to properly accommodate guests spending close to $400 a night for a room. Poor management.

The check in was a breeze and the pet waiver was ready for me to sign as I have requested when I made my booking.
I booked two rooms and both were very comfortable and clean.
Heidi made the check out process very quick and easy. I had a slight complaint about my bill for one of the rooms and Heidi dealt with it in a very professional manner.
This was my 4th stay in this property and will keep coming back because of the genuine and caring attitude of the staff and they treated my pet like family.

The hotel is very attractive and convenient for in-house conferences. Staff were very courteous and attentive. I ate in the restaurant only once but the food was very good. The hotel is surrounded by a variety of eateries ranging from fast food to pubs to fine dining, movie theaters and shopping and is only a 10-minute walk from the Pike Place Market. The airport is a 45-minute ride, but there are several options (cab for ~$45+tip, airport shuttles for ~$18, or Light Rail direct route for $3).

The Sheraton Seattle Hotel is an outstanding establishment with superior customer service beginning with the doorman, who was very eager to assist us, all the way to the front desk personnel who paid close attention to our conversation and offered suggestions when appropriate.. All of the hotel staff were outstanding and very customer oriented. I highly recommend staying here and I too will be a repeat customer.

Recently stayed two nights at the hotel while traveling for business. The staff, most notably, the concierge, was wonderful. Special thanks to the front desk who took care of shipping clothes to me that were left in the room. The location is great for walking to business as well as most tourist sites. There are very few hotels that deserve a five star rating- only reason for the four stars, Thank you for the great stay.

unlike other SPG Hotels the Sheraton did not allow access to the hospitality lounge because I do not belong to the " Sheraton club" . That eliminated the possibility of a quiet area to socialize with friends. I felt less than welcome.

Staff were friendly. Didn't like the room. Rooms were renovated, but looked worn. Very little hot water in the shower. Water was just warm. Biggest complaint was the valet parking. We could not call ahead to have the valet bring the car out. We had to wait close to 25 minutes outside in the cold for the valet to get our car out. Finally, we wished SPG had told us about the Macy's Christmas parade. We had to drive 30 minutes around Seattle to get to the hotel even with a GPS.

We come to Seattle several times a year and always stay at this hotel. It is very clean and comfortable. It is located in central downtown, so everything is just at your doorstep.
It has the best pool and gym facilities of any hotel i've ever stayed at.
The one negative on this trip was the room was not very well cleaned when we checked in - there was play-doh in the safe, fruit and plastic cups under a table - kinda gross!
Other than that, we had another great stay here.

This is the second time we've stayed here and our initial impressions were reinforced. We remembered the Chihuly glass displays in the lobby, and enjoyed them again. We liked the size and comfort of the king bed, and we were happy to find our memories were accurate. We were helped by the concierge (Lucie) to get a reservation to a favorite restaurant. Yet we also much enjoyed the food at the Daily Grill too. To top it off, the shower in our bathroom was terrific too.

What a surprise to stay at a high end, top quality hotel, only to find the following disappointments:
Housekeeping staff with loud and constant door slamming at 8 am ( have they not been trained to prop open a door while cleaning?)
Broken exhaust fan in the bathroom
No wifi instructions clearly written in room (by the way, how ridiculous is that? I've never, never, ever had to pay for wifi at a hotel of the most meager level)
Parking at 44$ per day.....really? I've stayed at upscale places in big cities many times and understand that parking spots are golden. Paying a fee is understandable, but buying the land to park on is ridiculous. Poor valet guys can't even get a decent tip from the customers with that!
On the positive side, the bedding was very comfortable. But the overall room was nothing more than average. I expected more.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Malin Staff was amazing
I visited Seattle for a conference, and chose Sheraton for its prime location near the convention center. But the amazing staff - and in particular the bell captain, Mr. San Gabriel - beat the location! Mr. San Gabriel went above and beyond to help me, and what could have been a disaster because of poor planning on my part turned into a very pleasant experience thanks to him. His outstanding friendliness and professionalism put a golden trim on my stay.

Love this time of year, when I can take a tiny seed and place it in a cup of earth and add just a little water, and let the sun do it's thing, and in no time of all the miracle happens - those tiny tiny plants burst thru the surface of the soil!! It always amazes me, this cycle of life. One tiny seed, a tomato for instance, that can, if nurtured properly, provide so much to us!! Today I am going to start more herbs, mostly medicinal. My hopes are to have fresh and dried cut herbs for sale later on, mid summer or so. Keep your fingers crossed! I am also starting my flowers, which will provide beauty for me to behold, and sustenance for my honey bees and other pollinators which I am encouraging. Plus, seeds to share come this fall!

21 Feb · Mon 2011A bit about Peacefully HomeGrownHi Everyone, This is my first blog post for Peacefully HomeGrown on LocalHarvest.org, and I would like to share a bit of information on myself and my business. First of all, thank you to everyone who has purchased from my LocalHarvest store since I made my first offering in the fall of 2010. Peacefully HomeGrown means that no methods other than organic, natural and vegan have been used. No chemical pesticides, herbicides or fertizliers, no animal based fertilizers (manure, bone or blood meal), have been used. I buy certified organic seeds, and use only organic gardening soil for starting my seeds. I mulch using grass clippings from my yard and fertilize with compost from all vegetable matter generated by my family. This year I am going to experiment with minimum tillage to decrease the amount of fossil fuel used. I am using a small tiller and cultivator rather than my 1950 Cub tractor to also have less negative impact on the earth and air. I have been gardening and since I was a kid, one of my earliest memoiries is of my grandparents letting me "help" plant their garden. I remember my grandmother letting me "help" plant the big butter bean seeds. I am a vegetarian, so a love of gardening really comes in handy!! I am also studying herbalism, and will be planting many varieties of medicinal and culinary herbs this spring, in the hopes of being able to offer plants this spring, and fresh and dried herb, plus seed later this year. A little later this year I also hope to have herb teas, tinctures and seasoning mixes. Thanks for viewing my blog!

The register is, in fact, at the bar, because the whole place is a disco at night. That leaves not a lot of positive things to say about the atmosphere. But there are always lots of people at meal...
