October 1 to 7 is celebrated as Wildlife Week. A week to understand that we need to share our world with wildlife to sustain the future.
Pick up a paper and pen and write down five examples of wildlife. Chances are that more than half the list would be populated with lions, tigers, and elephants from the jungles of Africa and India. It might not fit our mental imagery, but wildlife is much more than the fierce, four legged animals. It could be microscopic, or as large as a whale!
Wildlife everywhere
Wildlife is any living organism other than a plant, which lives in a natural state, providing for its own food, shelter and other needs in a suitable habitat. Wildlife is not limited to big animals living in dense forests, but includes insects, birds, reptiles, fish, and amphibians too. Wildlife excludes animals that are tamed or domesticated.
And wildlife is not only in jungles but also in oceans, rivers, trees, soil, cities and towns, homes and gardens. We share our living space with wildlife of all shapes, sizes, and colours.
October 1 to 7 is celebrated as Wildlife Week to educate and inspire individuals and organisations to conserve wildlife and other natural resources and to protect the earth's environment for a sustainable future.
Children's Media Unit, Centre for Environment Education www.kidsrgreen.orgAct Now
Green spaces like gardens, parks, wild areas, and wetlands in a town or city are places for wildlife to thrive because these provide the basic needs of food, water, shelter or cover, and space. Protect and maintain parks and gardens in your area. Plant trees and care for them. Protest if wetlands in your city are turning into garbage dumping grounds. These are important habitats for wildlife. Protect these, let wildlife thrive.

8 Ways to Get Late-Summer Color in Your Garden
This bevy of beautiful blooms will fill your garden with color through the fall season.
Fall and Spring Annuals
As summer flowers die down, cool-season annuals kick into gear, filling gaps in your plantings. Flowers like these snapdragons, ranunculus, and pansies are some of the easiest annuals to grow. They do well in beds and containers, and are almost pest-free.
In cold areas, plant them now for a burst of blooms before the frost. In mild-winter climates, they'll grow and bloom through fall and winter, then hit a crescendo in spring.

Old Sheffield
Old Sheffield silver plate
Before 1740 or so, silver was sterling quality, that is 925 parts out of 1000 pure silver, and only available to the very rich.
Around 1740, a method was developed of fusing a block of copper and a block of sterling silver and rolling the block into a sheet from which hollow ware items could be made in much the same way sterling could be made.
A great deal of this ware was made in Sheffield England, so it got the name "Sheffield Plate".
With the invention of electro plating of pure silver over a nickel silver base about mid 19th century, Sheffield plate was no longer made.
But there was also lots of electro plated silver which was made in Sheffield and stamped "Sheffield" or "Sheffield Plate"Â.Those items are not old Sheffield plate and do not command the price that old Sheffield plate does.
There were also items that were electro plated over copper that were stamped "Sheffield"Â.but are not Old Sheffield. And there were ( and are) items made in Sheffield England that are not made out of silver but of pewter and other metals like Britannia ( which is another subject!)
Since the time frame of Old Sheffield silver was roughly 1740 to 1840, it is mostly Georgian in style. And because it was "poor manÂs sterling" it often has a side of the silver sheet from which the item was made that is covered with tin and not silver.
Often the decorations that may have been applied were pure silver and wore faster than the sterling out of which the body of the piece was made.
Here are 4 items that I own:
There is a tray and wick trimmer, a candle stick and a ewer of some sort, probably part of a communion set.....or perhaps a syrup jug. The only marks are on the wick trimmer and are an anchor and a word I can't read clearly "pernell"?....and that causes me to doubt that it is Old Sheffield....but everything else about it is right.
However Old Sheffield was seldom marked.
This picture shows the underside of the tray and the inside of the ewer. Notice the dull oxidized lead alloy on the inside of the ewer and back of the tray.
This view shows the bottom of the candle stick. Notice that the candle stick has shiny tin on the bottom.
Old Sheffield is often worn and showing copper. That is called "bloody Sheffield" and really doesn't detract. But Old Sheffield that has been replated ( and the lack of that dull interior or back side is a sure sign!) has lost a considerable amount of it's value.
Any questions?
Linda C
I don't really know. I have never seen it....but that's not to say it couldn't be.
But.....cut glass....if you mean of the brilliant period, classic cut glass, came after Sheffield plate stopped being made...
To be sure you need to make a judgement based on the design of the glass.
Linda C
You wrote, "But Old Sheffield that has been replated ( and the lack of that dull interior or back side is a sure sign!) has lost a considerable amount of it's value." Can you please give your definition of what "dull" is? Since your photos don't show here any longer, I cannot look at your examples to see what you mean. Also, I collect OSP and have tons of books on the subject and the dull oxidized lead alloy you refer to has never been mentioned in any of my books. OSP that is not sterling silver fused onto copper on both sides would be either bare copper or quite dark dull tin that looks like lead. I would love to see your photo of the shiny tin on the base of the candlestick, as I have never heard of such a thing, and I would like to know more about the pure fine silver decorations you refer to as that is also never mentioned in my books. Is this perhaps a reference to the solid silver patches that were sometimes set in for engraving? When you say that a lack of dull insides and undersides is proof of replating, is a silver underside that is not brightly polished like a perfect mirror dull enough to qualify as being not replated in your opinion? I have a box I am trying to date which bears no marks. I think it is electroplate but the silver inside is not quite as highly polished as the silver outside. That might be due to several different factors. My pieces of known electroplate have the same exact level of shininess on all sides. Okay . . . I need to quit here and have some dinner!
When I spoke of fine silver decorations, I was referring to a snuffer tray and snuffer. the decorations are badly worn....while the tray is not.....wish I could refer you to a book adressing this....but alas, over the years I have borrowed so many books and had so many lessons and searched the web so much my sources are forgotten.
I will repost the pictures...
Linda C
This outta be fun .. resurrecting one of your old posts Linda! 8)
Just wanted to ask you .. If Sheffield plate was never cast, How did they make a base such as this?
This 'water kettle' was verified as being true Sheffield plate and it's maker was James Dixon, circa 1835.
The kettle itself is Much lighter than the base.
I have no idea how or what the base was made.
Glad to see you reposted your pictures, or some of them. I know nothing about any kind of silver but the posts are interesting. Maybe many of us didn't post because, in my case, I had nothing to add. But any information is good for people who like antiques. Besides, some of us were busy hunting easter eggs.
I finally found a definitive article on the web....saves my typing fingers.
Wonderful kettle! The base could have been made of "solid silver" and filled with a baser metal, or it could be that the mounts are sterling...but I think not as it is showing copper.
I have searched and can't find the mark you showed as being one that James Dixon used for Sheffield plate.
Have you sent a picture to silver-collector.com?
There are lots and lots of very knowledgable people who can give advice and imformation.
Linda C
Here is a link that might be useful: Old sheffield Plate
Hi Linda.
Here is a picture of the mark taken from Wyler's book of old silver.
I know that it looks like copper showing on the kettle but after shining it up .. No more copper look.
The thing actually goes through two or three different color changes as it sits over a years time.
Another thing that bothers me is that the base itself isn't marked.(at least I've never found any)
Wouldn't you think that it should have been marked, being a set?
Well....you sent me to the book shelf for my copy of Wylers ( should have done that in the beginning)....there it is!
I would think the bottom should be marked too....is there any evidence that they were not always together? does the bottom have a burner? Any parts of the burner marked?
Are you in an area where you could take it to a museum with a resident sliver expert?
If it is a perfect condition, never been replated, signed piece....it's worth a little bit!!
Post pictures on silver-collector.com....they'll have more knowledge than I do...
Then come back and tell us what they say.
It's a very special piece!!
Here is a link that might be useful: Post here for information
Here are some pictures of the base and burner.
The pictures are much clearer when you click on them. (You can then enlarge them as big as you'd like)
I can find no markings on the burner or the base.
The person from the Silver Vaults had said that the reason could be that since it was a set, Dixon didn't feel the need to mark all the pieces.
Since you had mentioned it .. I am really at a loss as to How they could have 'pounded' a base out of Sheffield plate!?
Maybe I can take it to a jeweler and see if the base is all silver or not.
I wonder just how many jewelers today even know what Sheffield plate is? lol
Hi linda
Nope, that is just one of the two or three colors that it goes through over a years time.
The sixth and seventh pictures that show the left side of the kettle is an example.
I had just enough polish left to clean/shine that one side of the kettle itself to show what the rest of the metalwork would look like when polished.
Believe it or not, that side of the kettle was just as copper colored as the rest.
When I am able to get out and get some more of Wright's silver polish .. I'll post some pictures when it's completely done.

What comes after flame surfacing and layered surfacing? According to one Polish designer, the future of BMW design lies in, er, porcupine surfacing.
This is the Lovos concept from designer Anne Forschner, a proper vapourware view of how a BMW coupe might look in The Future... if it crossbred with a sharp-quilled rodent.
It might initially sound - and look - like a genuinely, monumentally daft idea. Which it probably is. But it's sort of clever at the same time: those fin-like body panels can either sit flush or raise up to act as air brakes. They're photovoltaic, too, turning sunlight into electricity to power the Lovos.
Oh, and every one of the 260 panels is identical, so they're easy to change if one gets snapped in, say, a territorial battle with an enraged hedgehog. No word on what would power the Lovos, but given the presence of all those solar panels, we're guessing it's probably electric. Or runs solely on the power of bad thoughts and confusion.
Will it ever get built? Er, no. But it's nice to see designers thinking outside the box, isn't it? Blue-sky thinking. Pushing the envelope. Squeezing the manatee. OK, we'll stop now...

Beautiful location, not many people but everyone nude. Lovely water for swimming and soft white sand for sunbathing. Parking available. Possible to walk for miles in every direction completely naked.
Similar to Ses Illetes but facing East, the place to go if you prefer waves and more peace as it is less crowded
also very lovely and not quite as busy. very sandy and was windy with big seas when we visited. it is close to Illetes and the salt lagoons at La Savina
Having been to Ses Illetes, just a short walk away, and left due to extreme congestion, I was pleased to stumble on this gorgeous beach. It is much bigger and far far less busy. You will have to take your own supplies because there is nothing to rent or buy, although there was a man offering massages.

Worth hiring a bike or moped to visit here, nice beach but a lot of seaweed. Nice beach restaurant, didn't eat but nice cool drink
Llevant was a bit hard to find but it was well-worth the adventure to get there! Go towards Illeyetes and keep to the ear right to find Llevant. Once we arrived, we found a slightly crowded white beach with beautiful, crystal clear water. It wasn't rocky and the seaweed crud was pretty limited. My only bug disappointment was that, at...
got a boat to formentera from Ibiza and this beach was amazing and it was a very hot day, just felt like been in the Bahamas :D
Slightly less busy than Illetas in peak season, with, I am reliably informed, less jellyfish than Illetas' waters. Views of Dalt Villa in Ibiza Town and Es Vedra rock in the distance make it even better
Make sure you go here at least once: this beach is just picture perfect. We went to the right end when coming from the parking lot at Tanga restaurant where you can be naked. The beach is clean and on a saturday you can't count the expensive boats on the horizon..
The day boat trip for 2 from Ibiza to Formentera was mucho expensive at 80 Euros - and the sun beds with parasols were 30 euros - a cheap day out this is NOT - but the beaches are fabulous with crystal clear turquoise water and soft white sand.

Latest Porphyromonas gingivalis Stories
Chronic oral infection with the periodontal disease pathogen, Porphyromonas gingivalis, not only causes local inflammation of the gums leading to tooth loss but also is associated with an increased risk of atherosclerosis.
A new study presented on Sunday at the annual meeting of the American Society for Microbiology has found that the same bacteria responsible for gum disease can also advance heart disease.
A new research report published in the Journal of Leukocyte Biology shows how the bacteria known for causing gum disease--Porphyromonas gingivalis--manipulates the body's immune system to disable normal processes that would otherwise destroy it.
Pancreatic cancer is highly lethal and difficult to detect early.
Normal bacteria which live in our mouths provide the catalyst for the development of gum disease, a debilitating condition which leads to painful gums and the loosening of teeth.
Atherosclerosis is the leading cause of death in the developed world.
STOCKHOLM, November 10, 2010 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- The study shows that L.
Today during the 88th General Session & Exhibition of the International Association for Dental Research, in Barcelona, Spain, presenting author J. Meyle, Justus Liebig University, Giessen, Germany, will present an abstract titled "P. gingivalis Infection and Immune Evasion of Oral Carcinomas."
A defective, mutant strain of the bacterium that causes gum disease could provide a clue to potential treatments for Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and a number of other diseases.
A new study indicates that there may be a link between good oral care and aging adults retaining their mental sharpness.

Product Description
Breasts, bottoms and pants are the basis for most of the conversational analysis when these friends get together as a group, as couples, as girlfriends, or as mates, invariably becoming metaphors for the state of a relationship or situation. Individual viewpoints and terrors are explored through respective memories of the same event and what-if scenarios. Chain reactions inevitably ensue, fuelling comedy that is based almost entirely on misunderstanding. --Piers Ford

Rated 4 out of 5 by 927 reviewers.
Rated 3 out of 5 by Mini30 The staff make it This hotel needs to be seriously updated. The rooms are old and tired...like something out of the 70s. The pool isnt big enough, and its not a pleasant experience to spend an afternoon there. On the other hand the staff were amazing, especially Alex who does the graveyard shift. he went out of his way to make us feel welcome. Some other good points are the Edge bar...the food is good here and cocktails are yummy. The location of the hotel is perfect too. I would only stay here again if they did a complete renovations. May 13, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by OzFamilyof7 Sheraton Hotel mostly enjoyable Our stay at the Sheraton was mostly enjoyable but we found that staff weren't on the same page with advice and instructions. Several times we were given conflicting information by different staff and it was a little annoying especially when it cost us more than what was anticipated.But overall the majority of staff were great especially Gerrom (activities) and Sharon (pool staff). As far as being in the heart of town it was great location. Because we had young children with us it was great location for the beach. July 7, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by mimi222 disappointing to say the least Stayed at Sheraton over 12 years ago and couldn't wait to return. Booked 3 rooms for 2/3 days in Nov. Ocean room very generic is decor. Black fluff found on bed sheets. When asked to have sheets changed, maid quite rude. Hotel reeked fo cigarette smell. Sheraton even booked one of our rooms that allows smoking. Had to be change because person meant to stay in that room suffers with asthma. Met with a cold reception at desk when trying to change room Sad that Sheraton has deteriorated so much. Needs major renovation. January 12, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Christie Some rooms out-dated, but good service Hello, The arrival to the hotel was the worst part of the trip. I made a reservation a year in advance for a 2 double bed room. Upon arrival they did not have one available. They offered me a triple bed room that was extremely out-dated and Sheraton should be embarassed about the state of this room. I asked for a better room and they offered me a 1 king room which was unacceptable. After waiting for 2 hours for a solution I asked to speak to the hotel manager. Only then was I offered a 2 double bed room that fitted our original booking needs. After an 11 hour flight, no one should have to wait 2 hours to get a hotel room that was booked a year in advance. However, after a solution was found the service provided by the hotel for the remainder of the vacation was terrific! April 3, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by AGSO A hotel that caters for tour groups and young familie Well located facility right on the water. Outlook from room was great. The room itself was a little tired and having a bar fridge next to the bed is somewhat noisy. Bathroom is adaquet but tired and dirty. Bed linen worn. Room servicing well below par, beds not made on several occasions, there was one exception to this which I reported. Response from guest service was good. Lift areas not air conditioned on our floor. Room was generally noisy with children playing in corridors and lack of noise insulation between rooms and floors. Overall I found it to be a hotel without any personality and lacks customer service. Alright for a night or two but no more. As mentioned before pitched to tour groups. Beach attendants Kendall and Nath should be complimented on their customer service. July 12, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by stpl35 Anniversary celebration My wife and I had a fantastic time at this property celebrating our 13th wedding anniversary. Thank you to the staff and management team for making this a great vacation. This is our second stay and we have not been disappointed yet. The staff are very friendly and willing to help with any request. Infinity pool with cocktails is a must. Proximity to shopping and restaurants are great, especially when you want go for a short walk outside of the property….lots of choices and options. September 18, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Stella12 Great Location Great location on the beach and in the city. Staff were friendly and accommodating except for a couple of times.Maid service as good. Enough towels. but had to ask them to clean up the deck where birds were doing their business. Went elsewhere for breakfast as too pricey.only a buffet. . All in all ery nice and would go back. November 17, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by DannoR Great Hotel on an iconic beach Hotel is a grand classic in the midst of Waikiki Beach and in the center of the shopping district. The Staff, from Bellmen, to Front Desk, to Housekeeping helped to make our short stay a pleasant one. The main floor lobby is a mix of shops and restaurants and a bank of many high speed elevators to serve the 30+ floors. One is certainly not bored in the midst of constant activity. Rooms& Lanais are spacious & bedding is comfortable. The room decor could use a little update as could the smallish lcd tv screens. December 15, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by Blesdib AWKWARD!! Upon entering our oceanfront room we encountered two naked people, my husband and I backed out of the room very quickly! This gave our trip a start that we will not soon be able to get out of our minds. The manager was sorry it happened (yea, us too!) but did very little to compensate us for our AWFUL experience. She kept saying just let me know what I can do, GIVE ME A BREAK!! If you don't know how to right this situation YOU SHOULD NOT BE MANAGING A HOTEL!!! We will never stay in a Sheraton again!!! ALOHA!! December 21, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by kathyz Beautiful views, great location Can't beat the location for Waikiki and the ocean views, common areas are well maintained but our sleeping room was tired, small and sparse. Paid for a king room with ocean view, got a room with double beds because no kings were available. My husband is 6'4" so sleeping was difficult. Staff were wonderful except pool bar attendants D and B. They appeared to be the only 2 on duty for our 3 days, so were very busy and did not appear happy about it. Could do much better with their tips if they would only smile! January 22, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by RedRocket beds need soft pillowtop We notice that a lot of other hotels we stay at make it more comfortable for beds-my wife and I both got sore backs-too firm-and we don't have back issues nor overweight-minor thing-just a reco for future. Also 1 sand castle would be sufficient-we prefer the traditional xmas trees-and I know in SF the Chinese and Japanese are some of the biggest Xmas decorators. We always enjoyed the entertainment in the lobby and at pool-traditional Hawaiian. We really enjoyed our stay-thanks!-just positive recommendations January 6, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by WILNYC the perfect location to stay in waikiki i love the friendliness of the staff here at the sheraton waikiki. this was my fifth stay in 2 yrs. and i absolutely recommend this hotel. talk about centrally located..you couldn't ask for a better spot by the beach!..from the infinity pool (the best in waikiki bar none) & drinks at Rumfire for the sunset! it doesn't get any better than that!!..thanx again to Alicia, Ashley, Geraldine, Login, Brett, Jeff & the rest of the staff that makes my stay memorable every time! see you all next year for sure! October 21, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Paul81 Paradise in November The rest and relaxation is second to none at the Sheraton. The service and quality keeps us coming back. This trip was our 10th trip to Waikiki. My wife and I have been staying at the Sheraton for the last 7. Paul November 24, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by JABEAUX OK, but loading dock trucks rumble and beep all night Stay was OK. Big problem is that you have deliveries all night where the trucks have to reverse into the loading dock. They have their loud beepers on and it carries all the way up to the 20th floor. At one point in the middle of the night I counted four of these loud beeps going at the same time. Did not have a good night sleep on any of the nights. This situation also bothers adjacent hotels (I saw another disrupted sleeper on another balcony one night when I was out to observe all the noise). June 30, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by George27 Great resort on the beach Great rooms and all around amenities. The Infinity pool with nothing but ocean view was my favourite place. While my kids were out surfing in the ocean,my wife and I just relaxed in the Infinity pool. Almost like a sanctuary. The pool/beach crib had all the toys we needed to enjoy our 3 days stay. At night just walk the shops and you have a full vacation which satisfies all members of the family. Not to mention what a great staff at this place from check-in to check-out. Thank-you all. August 17, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by travelpro65 Riding on Reputation The Sheraton has a great location...no doubt, but the hotel has seen better days. The hallway wallpaper outside rooms 440,441 was peeling. The shower curtain was very musty and the pipes were very noisy when the shower ran. The check in and check out process is so poorly staffed it is painful. Forty min to check in or out. Sheraton has a system that pulls people from the Starwood Preferred line and if you are a customer in the regular line, you are in purgatory. No guarantee when you may get processed if Starwood customers keep joining their line. All of the tourists who are non-English speaking also slow the process immensely. The lobby and stores are shiny, but the rooms have seen better days. Rooms above the bar area to at least six floors up are VERY noisy until well after midnight. April 7, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Bkbroome Another great stay in Waikiki This was my 5th visit to this hotel and I've had a great stay each time. The facilities have everything you need including a large sundries store which is very convenient. The rooms are comfortable, the adults-only pool is brilliant (why wouldn't all Waikiki hotels offer a kid-free relaxing area???) and the Club Lounge is especially nice. We had fabulous treatments at the spa too. Staff are friendly and responsive. Henry in the Club lounge and Brett at the pool were particularly great. Mahalo! April 16, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by mrsmrtguy first visit to hawaii Hotel looks more like a resort.. it's pretty amazing. One small negative is that the infinity pool is super tiny and it doesnt have much of its own beach front like many of the other hotels have. The check in process also seemed to take quite a bit longer than it does usually..but other than these items, the view and hotel was absolutely great. i loved how the room had a large balcony and u could see the ocean from the shower. Definitely get the ocean view, it makes the world of difference. March 4, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by ronton Another great experience I brought the family here again for spring break. I own a business in Honolulu so I travel frequently and whenever I bring the family we always stay here. Kids love the pool, the club lounge is great and it is close to everything in Waikiki. Only disappointment was that the fire dancer no longer seems to be there. Staff was great as usual, and I love having seen many of the same staff for the past several years, they remember the family which for a bigger hotel is an awesome touch. Thanks! April 5, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Zumis Great view, rooms need updating Although we were given a room on the 31st floor, which might indicate a location of being upgraded, we found it to be the opposite, maybe the only room on that floor no one else wanted. It was as far from the elevator as you could get, the room needs to be rejuvenated, and it was right next door to some kind of mechanical or equipment room which droned for 24 hours a day. The staff was, as we have found on previous stays, very friendly and helpful. We plan to stay here again in the future. December 2, 2012
Rated 3 out of 5 by BrandonFox Nice hotels, maybe I just had bad luck The front desk assigned me the wrong key to the wrong room, no apologies. The power went out for a couple hours, no apologies. The pools get crowded and all the seats are taken most of the pool hours. November 20, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by MaxT1 Great place, but too food too pricey for a family and for the quality. The pool and outdoor features were top notch! We could not complaint about these, but the restaurants were extremely pricey for the quality of food and for a family. We would stay again, but not eat meals here. My granddaughter loved Peets and their drinks,but again, very expensive. We spent $50 for two for breakfast at the brunch on Sunday and were not aware of the price beforehand or would not have eaten there. The pool was by far the best feature and would stay again just for it!! July 21, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by HappyGuest1 GREAT LOCATION The room was much bigger than I needed, now when do you say that? Everything needed was within the hotel, including TWO Peets Coffee places and a grab and go food spot. Fish Tacos by the pool were awesome. I've gone to Wakiki for 30 years and stayed at muliple locations, this is my new favorite for location, immenties, and price. Housecleaning was the minimal, but fine. They could sell more drinks/food by pool if they came around more often, but again, it was in no way poor either. February 17, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by Veronica This hotel is in a great location First, I am totally disappointed with the Hotel Rates. When I book a hotel I expect all fees to be discussed upfront. It should $325 per night all taxes and resort fees included. Because no matter what $325 per night is what you will end up paying, there is no choice. So why advertise and lure you in with $260 + + +? We have to budget for the $325 not the $260, it is just deceiving. These additional fees should not be in the fine print. It should be front and center with the base rate. In addition, the hotel could use some refresh and uplift. The doors of each room look like bunkers. There are no drawers in the room and only one sink (at least in our bedroom). Every room should also have an IPod dock. The hotel is in a great location but it looked too much like a Vegas hotel instead of a Hawaii hotel!!! March 24, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by catherinemaxh Love the hotel, but needs a little improvement. I've spent 23 nights at this resort hotel in the past few months and I really love the location and the lobby is gorgeous! My big complaint is that the Valet parking staff are quite rude and are not very welcoming every time I've arrived. The other issue is that the laundry room seriously needs to be cleaned and updated, it is extremely dirty and appears neglected and unkept every time I've been in there to wash my laundry. I'm very fortunate that my family and I live in Hawaii and have the opportunity to stay at this hotel frequently for both leisure and business in the Honolulu area. We already have plans to stay there again next week and are curious to see if any improvements have been made since our last visit. We have now reached Gold SPG membership status and are curious to see what kind of room upgrade we will receive upon check-in as stated in the SPG Gold membership benefits. (I'll update my review after we complete our stay next week.) We always enjoy our stay at this beautiful resort and are looking forward to our upcoming visit! I would highly recommend you choose this beautiful hotel if you're planning a trip to Waikiki, you'll love the location and the gorgeous views! November 25, 2014

Rated 5 out of 5 by dbash Great Hawaiian Vacation I stay at this hotel every chance i get. It is one of the main reasons i travel to Waikiki Beach. I plan my next trip back before i even leave. I highly recommend it. November 20, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Joey8409 Central to Everything! I was originally booked in Ko Olina for a week but ended up checking out early to stay here. Ko Olina was great but too quiet after being there several days. We booked here and found this place to be even better! The place was lively and we were able to walk to all the places we wanted to. We had dinner at the restaurant below and found the food to be fresh and tasty. There are two pools in case you have a family which was very nice and the staff was always attentive. July 25, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by MelVlak12 BEST TIME EVER We had the best 10 nights ever. We were lucky enough to be upgraded to a Kai Suite. 2 balconies, huge lounge room and loads of seating. Check in - we were checked in well before 3:00pm - around 12:30 our room was ready. Pool staff were so friendly and obliging. Highly recommend hiring a Cabana by the pool. We ate at all 3 eateries and found them to be all fabulous. Will definitely be back to stay again. Jason in Reservations was just delightful, so helpful and informative about room types and bedding configuration. Beds were super comfortable - the noise from the rum fire restaurant didn't bother us - you just close the balcony doors and it disappeared. All furniture was in good condition - generous amount of toiletries were left each day and the Club Lounge was a great experience and the views fabulous. October 16, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Manju Something for All Ages This is the perfect SPG Hotel for a family. There is something for the young and young at heart. Good night life and plenty of kid-friendly activities. The BEST swimming pool and water activities for children plus a separate pool area for adults. SPG recognition perks were a huge bonus with complimentary breakfast in the morning and social hour(s) in the early evening. All top notch not just pastries or cheese and crackers. Rooms are not spectacular but good size and clean. June 1, 2012

But it is hard to make huge profits from suggesting people live well and clean up their environment and thus prevent and cure disease... There are a lot more profits to keeping people on patented drugs by just treating chronic "conditions" or reducing the pains associated with them.
To be clear, I'm not against anti-aging research or genomics. I'm just saying, we as a society and scientific community are often ignoring the obvious well-proven paths to better health and extended life-span and diminished "frail span" for most people.
Of course, genomics also has a dark side -- the potential for customized plagues that may destroy humanity in the next few decades, like I worry about here: http://slashdot.org/comments.p... [slashdot.org]
So, I'd suggest we build healthier and more secure and equitable communities for everyone right now, before the plague potential of genomics fully emerges, in order to have the community spirit needed to deal with the dark side of such innovation.

Kaiping World Heritage Village
We paid 1000RMB each for a private tour to Kaiping with a driver and guide. This was a lot of money, but well worth the money. The Diaolou are multi-storeyed defensive vilage houses in Kaiping, a region of Guangzhou. They were very popular from the early Qing Dynasty to the 1920s and 1930s and were built by overseas-Chinese who came back to China to build houses for their relatives ...

We went to the Chen Clan Academy this mornng, stunning architecture. This was a temple built by the Chen family members where their youngsters could come and study for their examinations. A fabulous building going 3 courtyards back. There was a lovely museum with a reconstruction of a Guangzhou house and artworks.

Sun Yat Sen Monument and Sharmien
After we disembarked from the night train we checked into the Westin and then made our way to Yuexiu Hill to visit Sun Yat Sen Monument and the Ming Dynasty Zhenhai Tower (Guangzhou Museum).
We then caught a taxi to Shamien Island, a lovely restored area of Guangzhou, full of colonial buildings, wide avenues and street scene ...
Traveled by overnight D Soft Sleeper train from Xiamen to Guangzhou, leaving at 17.45 and arriving at 06.30 this morning. The train was old and the facilities were not as good as when I traveled on a Chinese overnight train previously. This one had squat toilets and a wash hand unit which was stained and flaking and had clearly seen better days. Not a 5 star experience, but a Chinese experience nonetheless!

San Francisco Botanical Garden at Strybing Arboretum : Michelin's recommendations
Covering 70 acres of rolling terrain, this outstanding botanical collection comprises 6,000 species of plants from all over the world. Arranged around a large, central lawn, its varied gardens shelter secluded benches and gentle pathways that invite lei-surely contemplation. The arboretum emphasizes regions of Mediterranean climate, with significant collections from California, the Cape Province of South Africa, southwestern Australia and Chile. Other attractions include a hillside garden of succulents; the New World Cloud Forest, where special mist emitters supplement the San Francisco fog; the verdant Redwood Nature Trail; the Primitive Plant Garden of moss, lichen, cycads, horsetails, tree ferns and conifers; and the Moon-Viewing Garden, where East Asian plants grow around a reflecting pond in a landscape inspired by classical Chinese and Japanese principles. The adjacent Garden of Fragrances and Biblical Garden share a handsome retaining wall built of stones removed from a medieval Spanish monastery purchased by William Randolph Hearst, who had it dismantled and shipped to Golden Gate Park for reassembly. Housed in the County Fair Building to the west of the Arbo-retum's main entrance, the Helen Crocker Russell Library of Horticulture (open daily year-round 10am-4pm; closed major holidays) has more than 27,000 books and 450 plant and garden periodicals and presents quarterly exhibits of botanical prints and other art.

Respond to Review of CLOSED: MegaVega - Food Consciousness

Review: Located in the downtown of Lisbon, nicely decorated and with a pleasant ambiance. Nice food, but not the best in town nor the cheapest.

A nice collection of vegetarian and alternative medicines books and magazines to read while drinking a natural juice.
