Rated 3.3 out of 5 by 283
Rated 3 out of 5 by jersey100 A bit disapppointing
While I appreciate that this hotel is under renovation, there were some basic issues that transcend that process. The first room that I checked into had mold in the grout. I was quickly given a new room when I complained the next day but it still left me feeling that housekeeping was below standard. In the second room the corners of the bathroom were dirty; this was a renovated room. There were other little things that would affect my decision to stay here again. The blackout curtain in my room did not close completely and I faced the bright lights of the ballfield next door, housekeeping replaced the coffee packet but did not replace the sugar/cream packet. There was no convience pack in the bathroom which meant no shower cap.

Rated 1 out of 5 by JoeR71 Bad experience
I stayed at the hotel and used a conference room while I was there. In my hotel room, the eletrical outlets didn't work and I needed to blow dry my hair without a mirror outside the bathroom. The shower had terrible water pressure. In the conference room I was using, there was a water leak coming down from the ceiling. The paint started to bubble and the hotels response to fixing it was simply putting a divider wall between us and the leak.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Carmine Very Nice Hotel, Helpful and friendly staff
Staff from housekeeping to waitpersons were friendly and helpful. Facility attractive and well appointed. When I told the desk that I needed a roll away for my grandson they immediately switched us to a two queen bed room. At formal banquet on Friday night my grandson did not like the cheesecake. The server on her own initiative brought him two giant chocolate chip cookies.
The only negatives were the construction work and strangely, the room did not have a dresser.
Lots of easy ways to get around Pittsburgh from Station Square and the Sheraton.

Rated 2 out of 5 by michigan1973 Overpriced for the quality
My reservation said rooms came with refrigerators, they did not. Also I had requested a rollaway bed. I did not get one, but I was OK with that until I got my bill and see they charged me for one. The parking situation is horrible and the hotel should be more upfront about the $21 a day for parking. It would've been nice to spend the evening at the hotel bar but the bartender was not friendly and the cost for drinks were overpriced. The hairdryer in the room was cheap and didn't work. But the bell hop was great and I enjoyed the free shuttle service.

Rated 3 out of 5 by L2785 Front Desk & food
Several times, I inquired at the front desk about things I was planning to do in between conference sessions. While the staff was pleasant and tried to be helpful, they were not knowledgeable enough. I asked about walking in the area and was told there really wasn't a good walking place. However, a quick search online showed the Monongahela River walk directly behind the hotel. I asked about getting to the Warhol Museum. Was told by one person I could take the hotel shuttle. I inquired the next day about booking the shuttle, only to be told it doesn't go there, but they'd be happy to call me a taxi. I asked if there was mass transit there, was told no. On my walk to the Carson City Shops, I passed the T, which does, indeed, go near the museum. I called and told the desk that the coffee bags had not been replaced in my room, and could i have one for the next morning by 6. They said sure, yet I awoke to no coffee and when I left my room at 8 for a meeting, still had not received the coffee. At the NSPA conference, I indicated I'm vegetarian. During lunch on Wednesday, I reminded a waiter and 25 minutes later was delivered to the table a dish of rice and mixed veg and an under cooked 1/2 sweet potato. The food, overall at the conference was dismal and almost unpalatable with far too few choices for those who do not wish to start the day with a plate full of grease and fat and carbs but who do need enough food to make it through the day. Very disappointing.

Rated 3 out of 5 by Ghostfern Good amenities, needs renovation
The rooms and corridors need new carpet, wall resurfacing, new paint, and a thorough cleaning. Cobwebs hung from the ceiling near the elevators. My room's carpet was stained and dusty along the baseboards. The lack of a refrigerator, and the very small ice bucket, conspired against keeping any food cold. The heater/cooler was noisy, kicking on and off all night. The hotel was so warm I had to have the cooler on in February. Guests were noisy after 11 pm. This hotel is used by the military for personnel and families prior to relocation for duty.

Rated 3 out of 5 by LMW14209 Great location but lacks Sheraton standards
So disappointed in this past stay, We stay here every time we come with our pets. As the hotel is being renovated, it was clear we were put in pet rooms....definitely see need for paint an improvement....carpet horrible. Shared the floor with a church group of 50 rooms with such language... security,,,,cops...not up to Sheraton standards. We did receive a complimentary breakfast but really???? My daughter and sons had to listen to evening noise and bad language!!!! Why woud Sheraton not put them out....instead, honest payers pay the price????

Rated 3 out of 5 by Richards28 28th Anniversary
Even though we had read the unfavorable reviews, after speaking to the reservations specialist we decided to stay anyway. The hotel was very busy when we arrived with a large wedding party and a class reunion. We got checked in quickly but I was disappointed that upon check-in the staff did not even acknowledge it was our anniversary since the reservation specialist noted it on our reservation. When staying at other hotels they always do a little something extra for special occasions, not the case here. The Club room was nice and the view was lovely. We were given a Club room right next to the wedding party so when they finished the reception downstairs they brought it upstairs at 2:15am. Someone else must have reported the noise/music as well because we heard security once then after another 25 minutes I called down and they did send security up again. When I mentioned at checkout that we had been disturbed for over an hour and putting us right next to the wedding guests might not have been a great idea, I only got an "I'm sorry". No compensation was offered. I will think twice about staying at a Sheraton again.

Arrived at midnight. Told front desk I needed a 7:30AM wake-up call, would prefer a king bed and access to the club lounge. Upon entering room, room had double beds but given the time of night I didn't bother going downstaris again to complain. Was woken up at 8:45AM by my work colleague who had been downstairs waiting since 8:30 to pick me up to attend meeting. Scrambed to wake up, take quick shower, etc and we were late for meeting. AS well, stopped by loung on the 15th floor where I stayed and card did not work. What a disaster!

Rated 1 out of 5 by JZ48 Disappointed
Room was standard, prices too high for value. Fast Track restaurant terrible. Eating area uncomfortably cold. Fodd in buffet on Friday night and Saturday morning was not up to Sheraton quality. Soup from buffet was only warm, Clam Chowder ordered off the menu was cold and should have been named potato soup. Meat not properly prepared. Chicken fingers were only warm and the pasta was cool and pasty. Saturday buffet, eggs were cold and mush, french toast cold. The only thing going for it was the coffee was hot and the toast was nice!

Rooms were dirty - carpet was filthy and wallpaper needed scrubbed. Workman started every morning at 7:00 AM and woke us up. Not sufficient staff at front desk waited in line twice. I think I was supposed to get a discount for the parking as a SPG member but I kept getting different answers from staff and received no discount. Rooms were booked together as one party but we were given rooms that were not even on the same floor. Acted like a discount hotel should have been a discounted rate.

Rated 3 out of 5 by steveku2 Lack of attention to details
This hotel is old and showing its age, and no one seems to care. One of the 4 elevators was out of order, and there was no indication it was being fixed. Hand dryer in the men's room - out of order. Even a light in the restaurant - out. A cracked and peeling lampshade in my room, which was quite small. The hallways are dark and dingy. No rooms available until 3:00, and even then the room I had reserved wasn't ready. This hotel certainly isn't a dump, but it needs a major makeover and a staff that pays attention to details.
May 27, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by PGHSPG This hotel is in unacceptable condition
While I recognize that renovations are in progress and ongoing, Starwood should really remove the brand from this place until they are complete. The noise from freight trains passing a few feet from the window throughout the night, combined with noise from connecting rooms and from the hallway is more than anything I've encountered at a full-price, full-service hotel anywhere. The construction noise starts before 7AM on other floors, and travels through the ceilings/floors. The un-renovated floors and rooms are dimly lit and shabby.
The club lounge staff members are very nice, but hampered by equipment maintenance issues.
I recommend avoiding this property until the renovation is complete, or at minimum until a renovated room can be guaranteed on the reservation.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Survival1 Love this Hotel
The Staff, rooms, and restaurant, are always the top of the line and cater to the needs of the competitors. My husband and I travel a lot around the country competing, we have found the Sheraton to the be a home a way from home.
The staff is warm, friendly and professional. Starting with yo9ur staff, Beverly and Shirley at the front of the dinning room, Jamie and Kenny and all the other wait help we find to be exceptional and cater to the competitors ever need. And you must understand we are difficult group to deal with.
Kim the main floor expeditor and housekeeper will always go out of her way for us.
The front desk staff are always welcoming and keep things moving along in a professional manner.
We look forward to making our reservation for The Master's Nationals Competition in July.
Look forward to seeing everyone there again.

Rated 3 out of 5 by ZMan2000 It was OK
There was construction in the Lobby, but the hotel did a good job of working around it. I found the overall hotel condition to be somewhat messy. We were on the 5th floor. There was packing material near the elevators during our entire stay. The entrance from the side parking lot was dreary. The room was generally clean and well appointed. I found it odd that the bathroom had no hooks or towel bars. In addition, the bathroom lacked an exhaust fan, so it was always fogged after a shower.

Rated 2 out of 5 by Pinkbrittles Conference stay
The staff was unresponsive and inefficient. I had to repeatedly a ask for things, and the concierge gave awful food suggestions. The hotel also seemed unable to effectively find a taxi for four when we left. The catered food for the conference was terrible as well. The hotel also charges for internet access. If you want to connect more than one device to wireless, like your computer and your iPad, you have to pay $10 a day. I think that's just ridiculous. The only highlight was the breakfast buffet.

Rated 1 out of 5 by DavMin Hard to get a refund!
Horrible customer service! I had to cancel my reservation 2 months before my stay. The hotel charged me for one night and refused to reimburse me! I had to call 4 times all the way up to corporate customer service. The staff at Sheraton Station Square said that they had a verbal agreement with the promoter not to give deposits back and could not provide me with any proof of it!
When I provided my reservation agreement which clearly states that the deposit is refundable, they quickly changed their tone.

Rated 3 out of 5 by Adel14 Hotel under construction
This hotel has history, and was under construction, and understaffed. I am sure once it in finished you will be fine. My room lacked a frig, had a shell, I could not check in until after 4:00 because they were so busy and I had to hold my luggage for 3 hours in lobby (arrived at 1). Ran out off toilet paper, only had one roll from day one, we opted for the "green clean" so the maid never came in. In those cases, you should at least start out with 2 rolls. Just a thought. Thanks though.

Rated 4 out of 5 by 2WeekGuest Much Improved
This hotel is much improved over my stay 2 years ago which was very disappointing. I was in a renovated room on the club level. It was very comfortable and setup perfectly for a business guest. The ladies in the Club Room were lovely particulary Rochelle and Marie. The only downside this trip were the bellmen. 3 stood around talking as I struggled with bags. The young female conceirage was very responsive.

Rated 2 out of 5 by albertjdz Needs more Customer focus!
Check-in Staff told me that I had to go to Bell Station to arrange delivery of my bags to my room! Hotel Front Desk should do this, not the Guest! And after waiting for more than 10 minutes for a Bellman, who actually NEVER appeared, I had to take my OWN bags to my room, along with my daughter in a wheel chair!

Rated 4 out of 5 by JB123 Overall good.
This hotel is being upgraded, and the results are showing in a positive way.
The staff is excellent, and the Club Lounge is exceptional.
It's location near a walking trail and the T station are helpful.
The Station Square complex leaves a little to be desired. There are many vacant store fronts. So, entertainment generally does require a T trip.
The negative for this hotel is the parking. The garage is really, really expensive; and there aren't any other options available.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Emerald2014 Sheraton July Pittsburgh
Ensured the SPG number was added at front desk but was not given the SPG floor until I went down to change rooms. The first room was RIGHT next to an elevator and the entry of the room was filthy with a large black stain that ran about 8 feet into the room and a rancid odor. Not a great first impression. The next front desk lady moved me to 9th floor with the correct room. Maid was excellent!!
May consider opening up for breakfast at 6am and not 6:30.

I was a guest for one night. The hotel & room overall were great. However, when I prepared to use the shower, I realized it had not been thoroughly cleaned......the previous guest(s) used bar soap & shower gel were still in the holder. I was fortunate to get a room with a magnificent view of downtown Pittsburgh, however, the nightly train runs were not my cup of tea.

Rated 2 out of 5 by Esmeralda45 Would never stay here again
The room looked old and didn't have 2 pieces of furniture that matched. We had to ask for a roll of toilet paper but, the cleaning people were very nice. We asked where the soda machine was and they said they didn't have any. We had to go to the bar and get a class of soda and carry it up to our room. We had the breakfast buffet that was very expensive and all the food was cold. There was only one bathroom open in the lobby and it was filthy. There was a competition going on there and all the people were sitting on the floor on both sides of the hallway. So you had to walk in between them to even get to the bathroom.
We went to a wedding there and that went well. The food was delicious and the wait staff was very nice and accommodating.
I had stayed at this hotel about 5 years ago and it was beautiful. I couldn't believe I would ever see a Sheraton this bad.

Deadly Car Wrecks
Wednesday's wreck makes a total of ten deadly crashes in the mountains since the beginning of August, including two just this week.

On Monday night, Asheville police say a drunk driver crashed into 37-year-old Joshua Calhoun, who was riding a motorcycle. The driver, John Allan Zabriskie, is charged with felony death by vehicle and DWI.
On Aug. 18 and 8, there were deadly wrecks in Cherokee County. Another fatal crash happened in Polk County on Aug. 13.
Rutherford County had two wrecks just days apart on the Aug. 9 and 11, and one killed a 15-year-old girl.

And on Aug. 1, a woman was killed after a car flipped in Madison County. Troopers also suspected alcohol and speed were factors in that crash as well.

Aviator enthusiasts of all ages were able to get an inside look at some rare planes on Sunday.
Airport Day took place at the San Luis Obispo County Regional Airport.
During the free event, vintage airplane owners had their prized models on display, so people could get a behind-the-scenes look.
Some owners even let kids sit in the pilot seat.
San Luis Obispo Airport Services General Manager Richard Howell says,"If we can light the spark of interest in somebody at a little event like this, when they're 5, 6, 7-years-old, and show them the importance of math and science and things like that to getting a good career in aviation in the future, that's a part of us giving back also, and we like to do that."
Howell says the event was important because the community could come out and see what the airport is all about.

McMurdo search-and-rescue seminar set for Thursday
Posted onThe McMurdo Group said it will host the second of its three-part webinar series on search and rescue ("MEOSAR: Are You Ready for the Next-Generation Search and Rescue Satellite System?") on Thursday.
France-based McMurdo said the webinar will provide an overview of MEOSAR — Medium Earth Orbiting Search and Rescue — and will feature MEOSAR experts Jerry Nardi, chief scientist from Techno-Sciences, and Mickey Fitzmaurice, SARSAT systems engineer from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
The webinar will be held at 11 a.m. (EST).
The new MEOSAR is in the testing and development stage and is scheduled to go fully operational in 2018.
McMurdo said MEOSAR is expected to revolutionize the COSPAS-SARSAT satellite-based search-and-rescue system, enhancing a proven system that has helped to save more than 35,000 lives (five lives a day) since 1982. MEOSAR's technological advancements will enhance distress beacon detection rates, improve location accuracy and reduce emergency response times to potentially save even more lives, McMurdo said.

Hey guys. So, I'm on my second attempt at trying to harvest some conan from a Heady Topper can. My first attempt, the can I had was a few months old, I gave it about 10 days and didn't ever see any activity, so I dumped it. This time, I'm on day 3, and there is some sediment and stuff swirling around the bottom, but no bubbles or anything up top. I added some yeast nutrient to the cooled mini starter this time as well. I've never (besides these 2 tries) attempted to bottle harvest. I have rewashed my own yeast successfully many a time. So anyway, how long would you give it? Should it get a krausen on it like a normal starter? Just curious.
As a fellow Heady can harvester, I have had trouble with one can of the 4 I got my hands on. I had been doing dregs into 200ml of wort in canning jars until I saw action and stepped up to larger. How much wort are you dumping the dregs into? On my troublesome batch, it took over a week to get action. By action, I mean yeast floaties on the surface. I got them on all attempts to harvest Conan, most appeared by day 2 or 3. This particular batch was slow and I thought about dumping it a few times. I realized that a drop in our temp had stalled the activity and I put the jar of conan in my ferment chamber that was at 72 degrees. Overnight I got action on the starter and proceeded at normal as if the first week never happened. I have separated that yeast out and labeled it as a slow start just in case I find out later that it's not able to handle a full fermentation beer. That said, I have not had any problems so far with yeast from that can, so I think you can save yours. Just heat it up, keep shaking it, and be patient. You're not going to get full krausen in the first step or even the 2nd depending on how much volume you use. You should be looking for minimal signs of activity, perspiration around the neck of the vessel, make some very slight signs of dark brown krausen spots on the wort line, and little yeast floaties in the middle of the wort. I've got a 2 blog posts on harvesting Conan that might be helpful, they're on my blog link below. Bear flavored also has a good write up on it. If you haven't already, head over to the Heady Topper clone thread too, there are a bunch of people talking about Conan over there.

Hey man. I actually read the post on your blog prior to posting this =) I did note the thing you said about low temps, the issue is letting my wife let me crank the heat lol. I guess the other thing is that I used about 350ML of wort. Might be too agro for the actual yeast pitched? I do see some swirly yeast looking clouds floating in the middle when I spin the bottle around. I guess that's a good sign.
I have a wife problem too and if I'm fermenting too cold for my yeast, I usually take my aluminum paint can heater into a closet and run it every so often to heat it up. I've been thinking about using thie flexwatt heat tape someone suggested in another thread, but will probably do it later in the year as it'll be warming up here soon. Here's the link for that stuff: http://beanfarm.com/product_info.php...oducts_id=5569 I think you've probably had enough action on that yeast. The signs are really minimal at this early stage. If you can, heat it up a bit to 70+ for a couple days and then proceed as if you've had normal action to the next step.
i never harvested from heady topper but i did, successfully, harvest from sierra nevada pale ale. basically, i slowly poured the beer into a glass and left a little bit at the bottom of each bottle. then, i sanitized the top of the bottle by twirling it around the flame of the gas stove. after letting it cool, it then swirled the bottle around and dumped the sediment into a 1 cup starter. I did this for the entire six pack. I then shook around the starter and let it go for a few days, at which time I saw a band of yeast develop. Then, i kicked it up to a 2 cup starter and let the band develop further, again for a few days. finally, i up'ed it to a 1.5 liter starter and, after 2 days in the starter, brewed up a 5 gallon batch of sierra nevada clone and pitched in the yeast. I just transferred it to the secondary and, man, it tastes exactly like a sierra nevada and was able to harvest a ton of yeast from the carboy.

I actually just finished up with a conan harvest. I got lucky and harvested from a less than 2 week old can, which definitely helped. Used a 500ml starter with the dregs from one can + yeast nutrient in addition to a stir plate. Didn't see much activity until the second or third day, but I now have about 200ml of good looking yeast in a canning jar that I will be using for a very hoppy pale ale in two weeks. Planning on making another starter with it and saving some from the original harvest as well.
Not to go off topic as well, but I don't disagree. The reason why I did it was this chick I'm totally into is really into Sierra Nevada. I thought , for the novelty factor, it would be a good valentine's day gift: the beers should be ready then. As I said before, behind every seemingly irrational male action, lies a chick he's into.
Wow. Heat was the key man! Thanks! I realized I had a floor vent in the corner of my man cave and left it there from yesterday afternoon. I woke up this morning and it had about an inch of thick foamy lusciousness on it! nice!

Blackstone ValleyEdit This Page
From FamilySearch Wiki
Blackstone Valley History
The Blackstone River has been a part of American history since 1635 when the first English settlement in Rhode Island was established by William Blackstone in the Blackstone Valley. The valley quickly attracted other settlers and by the late 1700s, many communities were located on the river near small water-powered grist mills. Industrial development along the Blackstone changed dramatically after 1793, when Samuel Slater opened Slater Mill, the first cotton mill in the United States to use mechanical spinning machines. After the mill opened, water-power sites along the Blackstone developed rapidly. By 1800, the town of Pawtucket supported 29 cotton mills. Mill villages like Woonsocket, Blackstone, Millville, Uxbridge, and Millbury grew up all along the river. By the 1830s, there was one dam for every mile of river along the main stem and tributaries.
Transportation from industry to market was often a problem. In 1792, John Brown suggested that a canal be constructed along the Blackstone linking Providence with Worcester. Opposition was voiced by mill owners, who feared that the canal diversion would interfere with their hydropower, and farmers, who feared increased competition for water from urban areas. In 1823, the project was funded by both the Massachusetts and Rhode Island legislatures. The canal, 35 feet wide at the top, 18 feet wide at the bottom and 4 to 6 feet deep, was constructed by hand. It was 45 miles long, including 45 locks and a system of reservoirs. The canal opened in 1828, but existed only briefly before closing in 1849, two years after the Providence and Worcester Railroad opened. [2]

To attempt to scientifically evaluate an abstract concept such as reflexology is very difficult. To evaluate the effects of that treatment of reflexology is much easier. As in many other forms of natural healing, reflexology works by allowing the body's natural life force energies to flow and balance. Reflexologists believe that a balance of mind- body-spirit is fundamental to well-being. A relationship between specific parts of the feet and organs and systems of the body has been established. Trained, sensitive hands can detect tiny irregularities along lines of energy flow in reflex areas in the feet. Reflexology can encourage an energy discharge at areas of stress or imbalance. The effect is that the body is encouraged to return to homeostasis, its innate rhythmic level of function peculiar to each individual.
Stress therefore, may be described as the experience of living and working in conflict with our own generic blueprint. Healing has been concerned with this concept for many years.Our unique vibrationPerhaps some people may better recognise the importance of personal identity - our own generic blueprint, perhaps some people may be more in touch with their true nature than others, they may better recognise the unique flavour and purpose of their spirit, which will be their very own personal identity until the day they die. Some people however in busy lifestyles with constant pressures of living may sometimes forget, perhaps it sometimes just becomes difficult to remember our true nature; just exactly who we really are. Sometimes perhaps a major life experience may touch us profoundly, at our very being and we may need to learn again who we really are.
Complementary therapies may be very useful to ground and get back in touch with our real selves. Reflexology is a holistic treatment, in that it does not focus on the treatment of specific medical symptoms but on the restorative effects of improving the overall equilibrium within the client - a delicate and complex synthesis of spiritual, emotional and physical aspects. It is, to this unique personal identity, that reflexology is applied.Simplicity Complementary therapies thrive in simplicity; imagine the concept of stress held on a cellular level within the mind- body relationship. Each cell should normally vibrate at its own unique level but stress can affect this and can cause it to vibrate at a higher level. Years of experience and work with trauma and bereavement care have allowed me to identify that loss and trauma may be held and nurtured in significant areas within the body. As we well know, these areas of retention may manifest symptoms of stress, such as stomach problems or other imbalances within the body. Consider the posture of a bereaved client. Imagine how they may protect and hold on to those affected areas of their own body. The shoulders may stoop and the arms may fold to protect the heart and solar plexus. These then become significant areas of reference, which may subsequently be identified within specific reflex areas within the feet. The language used by that client further identifies the site of the trauma retention. They are 'heart broken', or as the solar plexus constricts, they feel 'sick to the stomach'. They may retain, protect and nurture the memory at these significant points.
A bereavement may be ingrained in mind and spirit and very painfully, very much so within the body itself. So it would follow that a truly holistic approach would seem to be appropriate.
Obviously with such deep seated and painful trauma, integrated, skilled and highly experienced hands would be required, but simplistically, when the client presents ready to heal, the simplest intervention is to restore the energy balance so that grief can be borne. The task may be to allow that trapped energy its natural grieving passage; to symbolically identify its route through to the outside and eventually to facilitate a method to express and make sense of the loss and trauma. More easily said than done; but any process of grief and expression needs a nurtured seed from which to grow. It is essentially a philosophy of trust in our own nature, a reinvestment into our true nature, an understanding that after such major trauma, that it may indeed eventually be possible to heal. In this instance, natural therapies could be useful when properly integrated with counselling and other mind and psychochemical therapies.
Complementary therapies may prove to be supportive in high-level stress. Our lifestyles now tend to be more insular; the support once offered by the extended family is no longer available to many. The positive supportive effect of therapeutic touch begins now to be recognised and integrated body therapies such as aromatherapy massage may be very useful and supportive in this application. An hour of relaxation with an experienced therapist may prove to be very useful indeed.The EffectThe general effect of reflexology varies, as it will affect the individual in its own peculiar way. Some people will experience a dramatic reaction to the treatment; for some the effect will be slower to establish; for others there may be no visible effect at all. Reflexology may be applied as a short course of treatments with regular 'top ups' and it is often possible to 'measure' its potential after one or two treatments. Reflexology may be profoundly relaxing. Some clients will enter a profound state of relaxation and it is, at this level I have found, that the healing seems to originate. Following a session the client may be allowed to remain in this semi-conscious condition for some time as they process the results of the treatment. The client may experience a feeling of well-being and invigoration which may last for some days. Some may experience a healing reaction which may temporarily worsen their symptoms as they begin to deal with presenting issues.
Many therapists are now beginning to realise the potential of this non-verbal communication. For the complementary therapist this is an entirely abstract concept but one which many practitioners use and cultivate on a daily basis and, as one would expect, therapists will eventually develop an ability to intuitively link empathically with the client. Therapists will learn Entrainment, a process by which therapist and client become linked and empowered. The personal life experience of the therapist is therefore very important, as I believe it can have a positive effect on the client. Experienced therapists will understand how a client is reacting to the treatment and will be able to manage it as it progresses. I personally believe that there is therapeutic communication between the practitioner and the client on this non-verbal level as the client is encouraged to start their healing process. As levels of perceived stress lessen, so the body begins to function normally, beginning to heal and starting to recover from associated ailments.
Author: Bob Davies Member of the Association of ReflexologistsBiography: Bob's practice developed from training and work with people in crisis. He worked with Cruse Bereavement Care, routinely seeing clients who were suffering following a major and traumatic bereavement. By working at this level he was able to develop listening, attending and people skills. Grief can be a very physical condition, ingrained not only in mind and spirit but very much so within the body itself. He very quickly identified how these emotional problems may affect the physical and spiritual body, this is the very principle of complementary medicine and this simple understanding has developed to become the very basis of his reflexology practice itself.

Don't know about you folks but I'm am sick and tired of the wind which has been blowing like crazy |

It's almost always windy around here. Sometimes when it stops it seems like something is missing. Today was pretty calm and beautiful and sunny outside and it took me about an hour to figure out why it seemed too quiet. It's good for fall raking though, sometimes I just rake towards the edge of my property and stand around looking innocent while the leaves blow across the road. ;0) |

Yes, I don't think I've seen it this bad, most of last week, only Friday was good, now all weekend when I have time to work in the yard...sickening! Friday I took the afternoon off cutting up some fallen poplars, today I have witnessed about another 7 crashing down!...My chainsaw is dull! |

Boy, do I hate the wind. Couldn't we just for once have just a nice breeze? Between the wind, the mosquitoes coming, the ruts in the roads, the voles......it's enough to drive a person crazy =:( Konrad that's too bad about all your trees. I hope when they fall they're not damaging additional trees. Northspruce - if I lived across the road from you, I'd have to break down and get one of those annoying leaf blowers and send the leaves all back your way, LOL! Stanly - Ditto. |

bdgardener I was out briefly this morning and almost got blown away. If the kids are driving you crazy, put them outside, and they'll surely get blown to the neighbour's house, no matter how far away that may be, LOL ! I'm just hoping my newly acquired and not planted shrubs don't end up in our livingroom ! |
Nice break from the wind today, yesterday was TERRIBLE! My backyard is rather protected, so I was able to continue to work away and had seen and heard many dead trees come crashing down ... and yes, I'll also need to be getting the chain saw out to remove those that fell upon the lawn. The other day while at a friend's place, the wind was so strong it was pelting their windows with blowing debris. Sad for those that have lost their homes and livelihoods in the Slave Lake fire.

HARDEEVILLE - The police chief in Hardeeville wants a stricter curfew for children under age 17.
The Island Packet of Hilton Head reports (http://bit.ly/1ozaTSq) that currently, anyone 17 or younger must be inside by midnight unless they are with a parent or guardian, are working or attending an event.
But interim Police Chief Sam Woodward says children are out at night causing trouble and he wants the curfew moved up to 9 p.m. Woodward says a series of 15 car thefts in Beaufort and Jasper counties between March and June might have been prevented with a stricter curfew.
Any change would have to be approved by the town council.
Under the current law, curfew violators get a warning. For a second offense, their parents or guardians can be fined $200.

There is an entire thread, a sticky, at the top of this page. It has all the info you need to plan a trip over to US/IoA. If I remember correctly, the shuttle runs about $20 pp, r/t. You do need to prebook it, and either pay with a credit card over the phone, or have exact cash if paying in person. You can call them the night before you want to go to US/IoA and they will tell you what times are available for your resort.
I have used Mears several times with very good results. |

We went over for 1 night last summer - booked a room at the HRH to get the early entry and express pass (which was worth EVERY penny in the summer). We left our stuff at BWV and just packed a duffle for over night...that taxi fare sounds about right but I think including the tip. There were 3 of us so we didn't have to pay pp with a taxi. With the shuttle we would've had to pay pp and I think it would've ended up costing about the same...what we liked about the taxi was it was dedicated to us and was there when we were ready to go.

Wrapping up Kelly's press conference from today
Chip Kelly held his weekly pre-game press conference this afternoon, bumping it back from its usual 12:30 p.m. slot after shuffling his schedule today to account for some carryover from the holiday Monday. (Namely, Oregon Club met today, rather than yesterday.)
Looking ahead to Nevada on Saturday at 12:30 p.m., Kelly faced several questions about the Wolf Pack's "pistol" offense, in which the quarterback lines up in a modified shotgun with a tailback behind him. That's different from a spread-option like Oregon's in which the tailback is next to the QB, tipping off which direction he may run (diagonal in front of the QB, most likely).
The pistol was devised by Nevada coach Chris Ault, and so Kelly said facing it against UCLA and Portland State last season probably won't have been much help. The Wolf Pack lost talented quarterback Colin Kaepernick from last year's 13-1 team, but Kelly said fifth-year senior Tyler Lantrip "reminds me of a guy you'd want" to run the offense, big and mobile. Nevada's top wideout, Rishard Matthews, is a former Oregon signee who didn't qualify academically and began his collegiate career in junior college.
Defensively, Kelly was highly complimentary of Nevada middle linebacker James-Michael Johnson, and also mentioned cornerback Isaiah Frey and lineman Brett Roy. Kelly said the UO staff began scouting all three of this year's nonconference opponents in the spring, which is normal.
Regarding the Ducks, Kelly said he had no issue with LaMichael James' approach to the LSU game, after James said earlier today he "was in between two games modes" against the Tigers, caught between his own running style and what was being asked of him. Regarding freshman De'Anthony Thomas, Kelly said his quick adjustment to this level owes as much to his mental acuity as his physical ability, calling Thomas "a one-timer" in that "you explain things to him once, he gets it."
There was no change to Oregon's official two-deep from the LSU game going ahead into this week, and no update yet on Cliff Harris or Kiko Alonso. Kelly said there aren't plans to add any more players to the rotations, barring injuries. He said James, Thomas and Ifo Ekpre-Olomu will return punts if Kenjon Barner can't go this week.
Finally, Kelly said the inexperienced receivers who played last week "got their feet wet" and now have the chance to make improvements from week one to week two. He said Rahsaan Vaughn had a solid night against LSU, particularly on special teams, as a member of the kickoff return team.

He planted some bell peppers and hot peppers, both are taking off. We have another hot pepper, while I opened the orange one and took a nice taste of the juices - - WTF the little thing is hot! hot! hot! What would be good for adding these fire crackers too? Pot of chilli or stew comes to mind. Any thoughts?

chili is always good! maybe making some hot sauce out of them.
That's an awesome picture of those peppers!
Dry them, and grind them up, then they will keep, and you can add them to whatever you want. Chili would be my best suggestion. Yumm!!
Chili peppers run whole the whole length of the scoville scale but a rule of thumb is the smaller, the hotter. My favorite is poblano - it adds heat n flavor. About a 5-6 on scale 1-10. Due to cross pollination of chilies, you don't know what your getting anymore. I remember the days when a Jalapeño was hot for most people. Different chilis add different flavor profiles. I've seen some chefs insist on Habaneros for some cultural dishes. (You can destem n seed them to calm them down since most of the heat resides in the seeds & membranes.) Milk is the only cure I know of if you get too adventurous... If you have a bunch and don't know what to do ? I w start experimenting on hot sauce receipes. Some people might know how to dry them like New Mexico chilis.
Vinegar. Pickle some eggs, asparagus, or most any veg. Salsas. Gellify and fill a donut. It'll make you really popular at the shop. Double baked potato stuffing. Stir fry. Chicken salad. Battered and deep fried (be sure to cut a slit in them). Meat marinades. Pizza topping. Sushi rolls. Huevos Rancheros! Stuff large olives. Add to Martinis. Infuse alcohol. Just a few ideas.
I make hot sauces or add them to home made salsa. I also use them in any number of stew type dishes. Another good use is sauteeing some onion, bell pepper and some hot peppers. All peppers cut into strips without the seed. Some oil in the pan, the onion for about three min., and then add the peppers. Cut the heat down to less then half, toss and throw in some garlic. Damn good. If you are making stew or chili, use the peppers early to get the flavor, and late for heat. Long cooking will take the heat out. I do like an omelet with some hot pepper tossed in with some mushrooms, onion, and a little garlic. Enjoy them.
A bad day at the range is better then a good day on the job!
Thanks All!

Take the time to carefully go over all your credit card statements. Take a second look to make sure that you are being charged only for what you actually purchased. The responsibility lies with you to verify that each charge is accurate.
Investigate debt consolidation and see if it's an option that can help you repair your credit. Many times, consolidation is one of the best and fastest ways you can bring down your debt and improve your credit. With a consolidation loan all accounts balances are combined resulting in one loan payment instead of several. You need to learn as much as you can about rolling all your debt into one so you can see if it is the right thing for you to do. Take a look at credit card bills to make sure that every item is one you have charged. You don't want them reporting these to the credit reporting companies, so you'll need to contact them immediately if there are. To avoid paying too much, you can refuse to pay off huge interest rates. You may be able to challenge an interest rate that is extremely high. It is important to take into account the fact that you did sign a contract and agreed to pay off the attached interest. You can consider suing your creditors if the interest rates are outrageously high.
If you are buying a home it will not always be easy, and even more difficult if your credit is bad. Try to secure an FHA loan; these are federal government guaranteed. You may even be able to secure your down payment and closing costs through an FHA loan. It depends on if you qualify.
It is possible to add an explanation to your credit report to give additional information about the circumstances of any items that appear negative. Falling behind on a payment may have a very good reason. Adding the reason to your credit report makes it more accurate and may help you if you are applying for a loan. If you follow the tips in this article, you will see positive results in building your credit score back up. Most importantly, be consistent, making sure to pay your bills on time. It is completely possible to rebuild your credit; stop worrying and start making changes. In order to start repairing your credit, you need to start paying your bills. To help your credit, you should be paying the full amount owed within the time allowed. You will immediately see changes in your credit score when you begin to pay off your debts, especially those that are active.
Your credit score suffers each and every time you make the choice to get a new credit card or line of credit. Opening new lines of credit can hurt your score greatly, even if you get approved. Once you open a new credit card, your credit score will become lower. When working to repair your credit, you need to prepare yourself for low points and high points during the process. This is important because it is inevitable. You will see your score decrease and increase as your work your way out of debt and to a higher overall score. Always have both a checking and a savings account active to improve your credit. Active accounts indicate a steady income and bill payment to creditors. Creditors like to see financial responsibility, which can be shown with bank accounts that are held in good standing. Your monthly payments should always be made on time if you want to rebuild good credit standing. Even if you can only pay the minimum payment, you should still pay off some amount. Even one missed or late payment can affect your credit.
If you have poor credit, you should contact your banks to see if they will lower your amount of available credit. Only attempt doing this if you are sure you can manage keeping your balance low. Place your limit at a point where you can use your cards when necessary but don't get close to exceeding the limit.

Berkshire Hathaway vice chairman advocates return to simpler America
(Read article summary)Charlie Munger, vice chairman of Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway, penned a parable about a country that looks very much like the US. Its title? "Basically, it's over."
Charlie Munger, vice chairman of Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway, shares many of the plain-spoken ways of his more famous business partner. Munger also grew up in Omaha, Nebraska, and has the kind of charm that seems to come from trying to do things right by keeping them simple.
Over the weekend he had a parable he wrote published by Slate… and it's outright depressing. He describes a nation, not unlike the US, that's been the envy of the world since its inception. It has gotten that way by frequently, if not always, making good decisions and making them for the right reasons.
Yet, as the piece is entitled… "Basically, it's over." The nation has squandered so much success and so many good works that it now stands at the precipice of financial ruin.
Via Slate.com, here's a passage from the parable:
But even a country as cautious, sound, and generous as Basicland could come to ruin if it failed to address the dangers that can be caused by the ordinary accidents of life.
These dangers were significant by 2012, when the extreme prosperity of Basicland had created a peculiar outcome: As their affluence and leisure time grew, Basicland's citizens more and more whiled away their time in the excitement of casino gambling. Most casino revenue now came from bets on security prices under a system used in the 1920s in the United States and called "the bucket shop system."
The winnings of the casinos eventually amounted to 25 percent of Basicland's GDP, while 22 percent of all employee earnings in Basicland were paid to persons employed by the casinos (many of whom were engineers needed elsewhere).

"First off, your website was easy to use. Uploading pictures to my gallery was easy. When it came time to pick what pictures I wanted to put on my birth announcement they were all there and easy to view/sort. I loved the big selection of birth announcements that you offer. The modern script boy birth announcement was simple and elegant. I loved that I could pick how many pictures I wanted to place on the announcement. I decided to place 7 pictures on the front, 6 were smaller but the center picture on the front was nice and big, it was the centerpiece of the entire announcement. I love the font selections as well as being able to write a little message about my sons birth. The pictures turned out great and the card stock was nice and sturdy. The only thing that I would say that I would of liked is a few more color choices for the border and body of the card. It did not seem like there was a big enough selection of colors. Other than that I was very happy with my purchase and so was my family. It shipped really fast to me and came packaged great so nothing got bent in the mail. I will be purchasing future items from shutterfly such as birthday announcements and photo books."
"I was searching around everywhere for the perfect birth announcement for my baby girl. Once I saw the truffle ruffle girl birth announcement, my shopping was over!! This card is soo pretty! The colors are very soft and not overwhelming. Your biggest decision will be picking out what picture you want on this card! I soo recommend this birth announcement."
"Absolutely love shutterfly and what it offers but I was definitely upset that the proud parents names couldn't be capitalized. Also I couldn't include the 8.2 oz, it only included the 8 and left off the .2"
"I love these announcements. They have great quality and the picture is very bright and clear. We received so many compliments."
"We sent these out as our baby girl's birth announcements/Christmas cards and we were very pleased with the cards when we received them from Shutterfly 3 days after we ordered them. As usual, Shutterfly was having a deal but the nice thing is that they allow you to use more than one coupon code if it pertains to your order. We've ordered cards from Shutterfly before and have gotten many compliments and we've heard a few so far this year. We also used a black and white photo of our daughter as is used in the example and it looks fabulous."

Subject: Re: DISCUSSION - VENEZUELA - Chavez Says He'll Seize Businesses
That Raise Prices
can we narrow down which businesses/industries are likely to be the most
severely impacted by the devaluation and thus under the greatest pressure
to raise prices? sounds like Chavez is creating a pretext for
nationalization expansion -- one that would attempt to incur popular
support by framing it as the government punishing those firms that are
raising prices. in other words, would he have seized these
business/industries anyway and was the devaluation policy more of a
politically correct way to do so...? no idea, but that's just what came
to mind

Here are my initial thoughts on the devaluation. Please feel free
to add, subtract, expand, or whatever.
Devaluing the sovereign means:
* The prices of imported goods and services will rise immediately
* This will stimulate the domestic economy by making imported
goods and services more expensive, and therefore domestic
producers become more competitive vis-A -vis the rest of
the world
* This also means a margin squeeze for those industries who
rely on imported inputs
* Since business can't pass on increased costs or be
seized (though, realistically, this probably only
applies to high profile companies actually worth
seizing), business will have to eat the increased costs,
though not all will be able to
* Likelihood of increased unemployment in these
* Exported bolivar-denominated goods and services become more
competitive vis-A -vis the rest of the world immediately
* The real service costs for holders of
foreign-currency-denominated debt rises immediately
* If Venezuelan banks have large holdings, this could
precipitate bank runs and a banking crisis (a la Mexico)
* Those banks who lent heavily to sectors facing margin
compression can expect rising NPLs
* The real value of an externally held bolivar-denominated debt is
reduced immediately
* This will piss off the holders of those assets, make
securing international financing more difficult or
expensive in the future, if it's even available
* Could lead some investors to not roll over Venezuelan
* All of which could aggravate the banking system or
any business that rely on access to international
capital for their operations
* Inflation, Inflation, Inflation
* Any market participant exchanging their foreign currency
will now receive more bolivars for it by the central bank,
and hence more bolivars will be chasing the same amount of
domestic goods and services.
* This will help shore up government spending (at the
expense of higher inflation)
* For example, state-owned oil companies now exchange
their dollars for twice as many bolivars and then
use those to finance government expenditure
* Anyone who was smart enough to hold their savings in
foreign currency can now exchange them for more bolivars,
thereby both rewarding and encouraging further speculation
* Inflation will start to erode the benefits of the sovereign
devaluation, e.g. when employees demand wage increases to
reflect the now higher cost of living
* There's really no way to contain consumer price inflation
(that I can think of that wouldn't destroy the economy,
i.e. incredibly high interest rates)
* Chavez obviously cannot seize the whole economy
* Overall environment now riskier
* Inflation risks
* Further devaluation risks
* Banking sector risks
* Seizure risks
* Investing in Venezuela is now cheaper (though manifestly
* Could be an invitation by Chazev to his communists friends

Chavez Says Hei? 1/2ll Seize Businesses That Raise Prices
By Daniel Cancel
Jan. 10 (Bloomberg) -- Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez said
that businesses have no reason to raise prices following the
devaluation of the bolivar and that the government will seize
any entity that boosts its prices.
Chavez said hei? 1/2ll create an anti-speculation committee to
monitor prices after private businesses said that prices would
double and consumers rushed to buy household appliances and
televisions. The government is the only authority able to
dictate price increases, he said.
i? 1/2The bourgeois are already talking about how all prices

Chavez devalued the bolivar as much as 50 percent on Jan. 8
for the first time in almost 5 years, as last yeari? 1/2s
decline in oil revenue caused the economy to contract an
estimated 2.9 percent, its first recession since 2003. The
government set a multi-tiered currency system that Chavez says
will stimulate national production by making imports more
Inflation Outlook
The devaluation may add to inflation by 3 percent to 5 percent
this year, Finance Minister Ali Rodriguez said. The government
forecast an inflation rate of 20 percent to 22 percent this
year, after consumer prices rose 25 percent, according to the
National Consumer Price Index.

I have several datura stramonium (tatula) seedlings, one with a set of official leaves, I am currently keeping them outside, so how often should i water them? I think i live in zone 9a, but if im wrong can someone look it up? i live in Redding California. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Datura usually doesn't need too much water. I water mine every couple of days, and that's probably excessive. You should be more careful with seedling, though, as they are quite fragile. Give them enough water to moisten the soil every three days, I say. |
