Amnesia has a dread fascination because it leaves its victims alive to experience the loss of self. Parents, lovers, photographs and old letters testify to the existence of a person who lived in the body whose inhabitant now regards them without recognition.
In "Unknown White Male," that person is named Doug Bruce, or so he is told. He was raised in Britain, went to America, made money in the market, dropped out to study photography, had a girlfriend from Poland named Magda and a London pal named Rupert who is now making a documentary about him. All of this he is told, and it goes into his new collection of memories. Everything that happened to him before July 3, 2003, is gone. He is a victim of retrograde amnesia -- rare, and total.
Because this documentary may be the inspiration for a fiction film, pause here for a story possibility. What if you awake from amnesia, and those around you, informing you of your earlier life, introducing themselves as parents, lovers and friends, are lying to you? What if the person you have forgotten was someone else than the person they say you were? Would it make a difference? Does it matter? If a murderer experiences amnesia, would it be ethical to execute the body that formerly harbored his memories?
Such speculations are inspired by this intriguing and disturbing film. Questions have been raised about its truthfulness; is it a fraud? I have interviewed the filmmakers and am convinced of its truthfulness, but what difference does it make? As we watch the film, Doug Bruce exists for us only in the sense that the film transfers him into our memories. Is that person any more or less real to us if the film is truthful or fraudulent?
Rupert Murray, who directed the film, has been asked why it does not contain more "proof" that it is truthful. He says it never occurred to him that anyone would doubt it, and he was more interested in the unfolding of Doug Bruce's new life. Maybe he took the correct path after all, bypassing proof to focus on the question he begins with: "How much is our identity determined by the experiences we have? And how much is already there? Pure us?"
These questions coil around the affable face of Doug Bruce, who found himself on that July morning on a subway train in Coney Island with no idea of who he was or how he got there. A telephone number in his backpack provided a connection to a woman he had been dating, and she collected him from a hospital. There is footage taken less than a week later, as he talks about his complete loss of memory.
Rupert Murray hears what has happened to his old friend and starts making this film. Doug Bruce is introduced to Magda, his former girlfriend. They lived together for eight years. She flies back from Poland and moves in (or does she, technically, move in with a person she has never known, and who never knew her?). Bruce travels to London and Spain, and meets his parents and old friends. He does not remember them. They say he is calmer, even nicer, than the old Doug. "Given a new lease on life," Murray tells us in his narration, "Doug seemed to be more articulate than before, more serious, more focused, as if his senses had been sharpened by a rebooting of the system."
Gradually Bruce begins to collect a fresh set of memories. He continues his photography lessons, and his teacher says "his work has gained enormous depth." He finds Narelle, a new girlfriend. "The longer that it goes on," he says about his current life, "the less I care if my memory comes back."
Yes, because if it did, would it invalidate what he now considers to be his identity? Would there be two persons inside his memory, one nicer and more focused, the other burdened with the imperfections of his previous operating system?
The thing about a movie like "Unknown White Male" is that it starts you thinking in the most unsettling ways. Rupert Murray, who claims to have met Doug Bruce in London when they were 18 or 19, has been questioned because he knows so little about Doug. If his friend was a stockbroker, what brokerage did he work for? Murray has no idea. "Quite frankly," he told me when I raised this question, "I make films and went to art school. I didn't know or care what firm he worked for. I'd call him up in New York, and we'd go out for a drink." Is this plausible? Of course it is. I have friends in London of whom I could say the same thing.
How much of what we know about each other is simply a shared set of words? How much of what we know about ourselves is hearsay? When our parents tell us about our second birthday party, we no more remember that party than Bruce remembers his 30th. Yet the party goes into our database. How much is "pure us?" What Doug Bruce seems to have lost is not only his memory but even the "pure us" part -- he has a different personality now. Here's an irony: He found that he could still write his signature. But neither he nor anyone else could read it.
"Unknown White Male" is maddening at times because Murray doesn't ask questions we'd like to shout at the screen: "Magda, if it's not too personal ... is Doug the same in bed?" "Doctor, is there a way to tell for sure if someone is faking amnesia?" "Doug, do you resent these strangers who make emotional demands because they claim they were your parents?" "Mrs. Bruce, if your son cannot remember you, does it still hurt your feelings if he doesn't call and visit?"
This is not the review I thought I would write. I thought I would describe what is in the film, what happens and is said. But if he meets one set of people who say there were his London friends and not another, what difference does it make? We've never seen them before and neither has he.
The real subject of the film is Douglas Bruce sitting on two years of memories and told there is a 95 percent chance that another 30 years may return to him. A lot of people don't want to know when they're going to die. Maybe they wouldn't want to be reborn, either.

Rated 3.9 out of 5 by 351 reviewers.
Rated 4 out of 5 by SebSavi Low comfort Toilet running in the middle of the night... A/C too loud don't make for a good night of sleep. This hotel needs some upgrading. October 15, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by Bcnignasi Below Sheraton's average This hotel needs an urgent renovation, BIG TIME¡¡ it is old, looks old and dirty (It is not dirty, just looks dirty) The bathroom is small and non practical. The Lounge is pathetic, it was full of kids, the coffee machine didn't work properly and the variety of food was just not enough. Not a good experience at all August 6, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 Left at airport, forced to take a cab Let me first start by stating, I am a loyal SPG member and patron. But this time, my experience was less than average. My coworker and I were waiting for the shuttle for 30 minutes after arriving in D.C. It eventually showed up and stopped on the farthest lane from the crosswalk. It did not open the doors knowing there were many passengers waiting to get to the hotel. The driver drove to the next stop and did not pick up anyone. The shuttle was empty. We tried to catch the driver but they sped off. We eventually had to take a taxi cab to the hotel, costing us over $20.00. It was a poor experience, especially after traveling for a day and wanting to relax in the hotel room. The staff were not very appreciative when we arrived and were very confused with our issue at the airport. They said they would look into it. Rooms were okay..the bathroom was a little dirty when arriving. Great price for the hotel. We will most likely not stay at this SGP property again. July 14, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by yb2014 Washington, DC The hotel front desk staff was very helpful, knowledgeable and friendly! All of my questions were answered very thoroughly. The shuttles were timely and comfortable. The free airport shuttle was a tremendous bonus because I was only using public transportation while in DC. The room had plenty of space and was comfortable. July 15, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by DTwine Outstanding Service I didn't like the fact that the pool was not available. It's summer time it should be open. They should have done their remodeling last winter or winter time. Also the Restaurant should be asking if you are a SPG member so that you get the best deal on food and drink. This is a great place to stay and I will be staying there in the future. July 25, 2012
Rated 3 out of 5 by Amorae Good exempt for a few minor things This is a nice hotel with a convenient shuttle that drops you off at the airport or the nearby mall & metro station. There were a few minor things that could have been better: The doors to the hotel rooms slam loudly unless one shuts them carefully. I know this is probably a security thing, but it is also really annoying when one is trying to sleep and is woken up by several doors slamming at 6am. There was no ironing board in our room (#423), which was fairly annoying when we pressed for time to get out the door. We did not contact the management because we were in a rush to get ready. Several of the outlets in our room were faulty. The one in the bathroom didn't work at all and two others were too loose preventing things from staying plugged in (annoying again). On the positive side, the beds were pretty comfortable and the facilities kept up except for these minor issues. It would be nice if there was a complimentary breakfast and a hot tub. April 8, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Marine782 Check-In Procedure First room I was given (1122) was already occupied. Went back to front desk and was given room 1112. I am a lifetime platinum member and tried to get into lounge on Sunday evening but key would not work. Had to get front desk to re-key. Lounge attendent was very attentive and professional. Great hotel. August 6, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Kristal67 Great Hotel Friendly, courteous staff checked us in and very helpful with questions. I asked for a city view if possible and accomodated us with a great room with an awesome view of DC! Rooms were clean and beds super comfortable. I would recommend this hotel with no hesitation. We'll be sure to stay again our next time in Arlington. Thank you! September 6, 2012
Rated 3 out of 5 by dlsreds Was Not fully accomodated I was not accommodated like other family members for the Williams' Family Reunion! Other family members informed me that they had called in after the appointed date and was given the family rate! I was charged $151.00 per nite, I stayed 2 nites! I just feel if you gave the rate to 1, you should have given it to all! July 7, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by RIRichard Like Coming Home Again I have been a regular guest at this hotel for more than twelve years and they always treated me great when I was a Starwood Platinum level guest. Following an injury and job change I wasn't able to maintain my Platinum level but the staff here treats me the same way as I rejoin the work force and work my way to Platinum for Life. August 10, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by Sschneck Needs updating Check-in fast and front desk clerk accommodating to SPG member. Room was dated and carpet stained. Unaware of shuttle to Metro until I read the sign on my last day. Food was average in restaurant, but the tables needed a good cleaning.. My napkin was stuck to the table. Check-out fast and smooth. August 4, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by skippie Excellent staff For my 80 birthday, we were given room on 11th floor with picture post card view of DC. Issis was great at front desk. She is quality. October 8, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by marvinisit First time using my point for a short trip Over all our stay was OK. We were extremely inconvenienced because we were unable to check in at the guaranteed time of 3:00 pm. In addition we were told by some one at the from desk that we were approved for early check in at 1:00 pm. We altered our tour schedule and went to the hotel at 1:15 to be told the room was not ready but would be within the hour. We then came back at 3:15 and the room was still not available. We then left and returned after 6:00 pm to finally have access to our room. THIS WAS A REAL PROBLEM SINCE WE WERE TRAVELING WITH 2 SMALL CHILDREN , ONE OF WHICH HAD SPECIAL MEDICAL NEEDS!!!!! We were very pleased with the service received by "Dennis" in the hotel restaurant and by the young ladies at the front desk. The young man at the front desk was not helpful and could benefit with some training on customer service. He was not rude just not helpful or appeasing. the young lady at the front desk gave us a complimentary breakfast for our troubles. July 15, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by StuckTraveler Great Hotel I had just one night at this hotel and I want to go back. The staff was excellent; they were fast, friendly and helpful at the front desk at check in. And the breakfast buffet was delicious with a good assortment of food. I hope I find myself in the DC area again soon. August 22, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by SPGTravelerinDC This hotel is great for Pentagon access I live in Washington, but needed a place to stay while contractors were working in my apartment. This hotel was close to the Pentagon and Downtown, and the staff is friendly and responsive. Breakfast is delightful, and the views are spectacular. It is not the newest hotel, but it is definitely well-maintained. June 5, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Ju65 Congratulations Elena was a amazing professional. She works at the front desk and it is a pleasure to have a professional like her. Congratulations Sheraton for this employee. September 29, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Robert1492 Great location. Enjoy a great view of the city. Park the car and take advantage of the complimentary shuttle to the Metro station in Pentagon City. October 3, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by SirC Tucked Away I would recommend this facility for the overall efforts of staff members and partnering services to ensure a pleasant experience for their client - the guest. Although challenging to reach due to construction in Arlington adjacent the expressways, it proved worth the challenges to stay at this location. June 2, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by Eg2012 Service disappointing I was very disappointed in the customer service. I have never written a bad review until now. There were two people who were wonderful but the rest were very...My room had several issues (no hot water for 2 days...tv had no signal for a day and a half)...bartender was rude and offensive... July 7, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Ohio60 So relaxing The staff is amazing. There pride in the hotel shows. The hotel has a view (I so miss now that I'm home) that you can never forget. We felt safe, with our 2granddaughters. So quiet, so close to everything, so handy, so easy to find. September 2, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Howdy61 Family visit August 2012 Unfortunately, the pool was closed for maintenance work. It would have been nice to know this when making the reservattion or if it was posted on your website. The staff was very apologetic and upgraded our room for the inconvenience. All other aspects of the facility and service were above expectation. August 12, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by jktamartin Great Customer Service We had a wonderful weekend in Washington DC. The customer service staff at the Sheraton Pentagon City Hotel was excellent. Our room was not ready when we arrived as expected. So, the front desk gave us vouchers for a free drink or appetizer in the lounge while we waited. The breakfast bar was amazing. August 22, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by Kiki617 Great stay!!! The all of the staff and was great and very friendly on the phone and face to face. The Hotel is real close to the white house and the pentagton!!! The rooms are clean and the food was good!!! I will be back next year!!! September 4, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Sisters4 Our DC sisters weekend Your employees were very polite & professional. The food in your restaurant was great. I think the rug in the room ( 1205 ) should be replaced soon, The only thing negative in that room beside the rug was the view . Your Hotel over all was lovely but I would not want that room again, Thank You May 21, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Sylvie64 Great value close to DCA Airport Great hotel to stay if your flight has been cancelled. It is close to the airport and the price was very good for the value. However I would not pick this hotel if you plan to walk around to explore the neighbourhood as it is close to the highway and the closest services are at the Pentagon Mall. February 23, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by Oct4 This Hotel Requires Corporate Attention The room # 600 had filthy dirty carpet. This carpet smelled and created a perception that the room was unclean. There were not enough hangers in the cloaset to handle the cloths of two individuals. As an SPG member I should not have had to pay for internet service. July 24, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by jason14 Timely customer serivce for a left item I checked out of the hotel and a few day later, I realized that I left something. Upon calling the front desk associate explained to me how she would contact housekeeping for me and state what the left item was. The situation was handled nicely, but no word back as of yet on the left item. May 2, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by Lisa1206 Hotel Stay Comfortable and Convienent I stayed here for 2 nights with my son while visiting 2 colleges in DC, the staff was wonderful and the room met all our needs. I would definitely stay here again! The shuttle service to the Pentagon City METRO was always on time, would suggest adding extra's shuttles during peak hours. April 16, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by BigAl This hotel has great view This was my first stay at this hotel in more than 20 years. It has been remodeled beautifully, my room had such a wonderful view overlooking the Pentagon and Wash. DC. Checkin was easy, as well as checkout. Transpo to the airport was excellent. Room was very modern with the newest in TV. April 26, 2012
Rated 1 out of 5 by spg41 Not Sheraton quality The hotel bathroom is unsafe - slippery shower floor. Poor quality hotel room furniture. Hotel lacks effort to accommodate guest request. However, the hotel's restaurant food is exceptional but over priced. August 30, 2014

Mets shopping R.A. Dickey as extension talks stall
Nov 8, 2012, 1:20 PM EDT
So much for yesterday's talk about R.A. Dickey and the Mets making progress in their contract extension negotiations, I guess.
Ken Rosenthal of FOXSports.com reports that the Mets are "showing little interest in signing Dickey to an extension" and are "discussing him in trades."
Joel Sherman had a similar report in this morning's New York Post, writing that "there was a substantial gap between what they are willing to offer the righty and what they perceive Dickey wants."
Dickey is a great pitcher and an even better story, but he's also a 38-year-old knuckleballer and for a team coming off a 74-88 season it would make plenty of sense to see what sort of young talent he could fetch in a trade. For now he's signed for 2013 at the bargain price of $5 million and the Mets' decision-makers are also working on a potential long-term extension with David Wright.

Ive had enough with backdoorers... In DOTA this was never allowed unless beyond 60 min/1hour
For instance...Enemy team is losing but their hero is strong,they will tend to backdoor n their team will eventually win
Its totally cheating I said!...
Why not setting the tower 5 times stronger when our creep is way far ahead of the tower?
This is to prevent backdoorer and to ensure a fair game
We can try to be honest not to backdoor (which is the most bad suggestion choice to pick)
PS: DOTA players should agree with this kind of statement
If the enemy is losing that badly, you should be able to deal with said strong hero fairly simply. I may simply not understand what Backdooring is, but if I do (and I THINK I do...) then there shouldn't be a problem. You send two people to kill him, and it's fine. 1 hero can't just walk through your camp. However, I will admit that I've never played DotA, so I can't really comment on the similarities or differences anyways.
Senior Member
Backdooring really isn't an issue. If your team has truly trumped the other team, then no backdooring is necessary. Just like splitting your team in order to push two lanes, having 4 members stay back while the carry destroys towers behind creep lines is a legitimate (and COUNTERABLE) strategy.
Viro Melchior
I agree that there should be some kind of backdoor protection. Often there are games where your team is winning but the other team backdoors and then you loose. Backdooring is not a skill it is cheating!
In DOTA there is backdoor protection where the towers heal when hit by a hero when there are no creeps around the tower.
Backdooring is cheating and you are a nub if you backdoor.
"RIOT MAKE THIS GAME DOTA 2 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" - this is just wrong, if you can't handle backdooring then you suck.
Just look at your post :
"For instance...Enemy team is losing but their hero is strong,they will tend to backdoor n their team will eventually win"
Ok, so so far we know that enemy team is at disadvantageous position, so they employ a strategy to turn tables. They succeed because their execution of this strategy was superior to your defense vs it so you say that their good choice of strategy and it's good implementation is cheating. No, it is not cheating, cheating is using disallowed tricks to win, backdoor is allowed and there's no reason not to allow it.
There are way too many DOTA players who have this thinking that "if team is at an advantage they should win" but at the same time you follow the doctrine of never surrendering. Srsly, wtf...
One of your team can always get fortification, gives you pleny of time to recall back and counter the attack. Backdoor will never be a problem in LoL since everyone comes with endless recall.
Riot has stated many times that backdooring in this game is a valid tactic. If they didn't want it they'd remove it. If you're unable to defend against it, that says more about you than the game itself. LoL is not DotA.
Besides, towers already get a fairly large buff when no enemy creeps are around.

Rated 3.8 out of 5 by 446 reviewers.
Rated 1 out of 5 by missbrown Worst Experience Ever It was my husband birthday and we pick this hotel cause it was close to riverwalk soon as we walked in room was dirty carpet was stain old nasty bathroom. To top it off we where in the club lounge on 11th floor and in our room there where 2.00 bottle water. Pictures online was false. This hotel ruined my husband birthday never again. Rooms need to be more cleaner. August 3, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by 2rmh Great place to stay if attending Majestic event We always enjoy staying here when we go to the Majestic. October 26, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by Madson Hotel needs to improve service Asked for shows in the city, clarity on service provided by club lounge, breakfast when club lounge was not operational ... Hotel did not know about shows, no one available at club lounge during hours of operation ( had to call and ask for something to drink), restaurant was confused on what to serve with provided cupons as club lounge did not work on weekends. February 12, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Margie Above and beyond I arrived home after a recent stay and realized I had left a diamond necklace on the vanity in my room. I called and spoke to Jimmy in theft provention. He immediately went to look, found the necklace, called me back within 5 minutes and shipped it to me. He responded with such urgency. I felt as though he really cared. I was so relieved to get my necklace back. March 19, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by momboe Beyond our Expectation We were celebrating my husband's birthday and had the added challenge of needing a wheelchair accessible room and roll in shower. Every single member of the Sheraton Gunter Hotel made sure we were more than satisfied in every aspect of our stay. The hotel was beautiful ( and just redone) and it was the perfect location to site see. A special thank you to Willie! February 2, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Keela Beautiful Metropolitan Hotel Gorgeous hotel in the heart of downtown San Antonio. It is old world with an art deco touch. The room was spacious (two queen size beds). The restaurant downstairs (Market On Houston) was phenomenal. I had the Napoli flatbread pizza. The hotel had a "South Beach" feel and just a block away from the Riverwalk. You will not be disappointed with your stay. June 13, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by dltjmc Very helpful staff Very impressed with the staff help we received here. The lady at the desk allowed us to go check out our room as it was near an AC unit to ensure we were OK with it rather than just send us up there and hope we didn't have issues. Also helped suggest alternative/cheaper parking options as opposed to their own $28 valet parking. Hotel was clean and comfortable. April 16, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by NormaC Did not meet my expectations The room that I stayed in had two really bad carpet stains and a very old desk chair. I would expect carpet stains and torn furniture in a Motel 6 or Hotel 8 type of hotel not a reputable hotel such as the "Gunter". The bed was VERY, VERY comfortable, so at least I got really good night sleep. The staff was also awesome to include the staff at the restaurant. September 30, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Zipper This hotel has a lot of history. I liked the history associated with this hotel. I was especially excited when I found out that I was staying in Room 636 and then found out the story that took place in the original room. That is awesome! I went and ask the registration personnel if I was staying in the actual room and they told me I wasn't. I was disappointed. Oh well. But I liked the hotel. June 12, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by Bartman57 Small Room I was put into a room that must have been a closet at some time, it was so small I could almost touch wall to wall. There was a desk and a chair that took up any spare room there might have been, the chair was torn in several places and looked like it should have been thrown out. For the price there are serveral hotels in downtown San Antonio that are better. September 20, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by AE11 NOISY, POOR SECURITY Two doors down, there was police involvement with a couple who were in trouble with the law. Seemed like a theft right there in the hotel. Next door, there was way too much noise up until 5 am. Could not sleep. I paid extra to use the club lounge, but it was way too congested. And there wasn't enough food/drinks. Overall, would not return to this hotel. January 3, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by remydog great hotel and location We stay here when we come to San Antonio. This hotel and staff is wonderful. This last stay I had an issue with my room and went to front desk and lucy did not hesitate or question putting me in another room. This was the first proplem in the 3 years that we have stayed there. Also the bar is very nice, especially meeting Jarrod who was a great bartender October 30, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Vic31 Very nice hotel We enjoyed our stay at the Gunter. San Antonio is full of friendly people! Our room was clean and spacious. If we return, we'd definitely stay here again. October 13, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Catsfly69 convention weekend I really enjoyed my stay at the Gunter last weekend, even though the first night our ac went out in the room we were at the staff made it up quickly with moving our room, upgrading our internet and access to club area. We received the best service from the bellmen. It was a great hotel to stay walking distance to alot of attractions and full of history. August 22, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by travler6 Hotel has Location and ambiance When we made our annual Christmas trip to San Antonio we chose The Gunther for this years stay. It was a wise choice, the staff was excellent, arranged several rooms for us and satisfied our every wish. The location could not be better for a downtown hotel. Located in a quite area only minutes from River Walk with several excellent restaurants nearby. December 18, 2012
Rated 3 out of 5 by Djr5 Don't dine at this hotel This is a lovely, well maintained hotel with friendly staff at the front desk. So, my husband and I thought that eating dinner in the hotel restaurant would be a good experience. It was not. Although we were only one of two tables the service was very slow. The waiter never offered bread and we only got some after waiting over twenty minutes and asking a bus boy. The other people at the only other table in the restaurant were ridiculously loud. We could hear every word of their conversation even though they were two tables away. I asked to be moved away from them and our waiter refused, even though the restaurant was completely empty except for our two tables. After we finished I went to the front desk and complained. They called the restaurant manager and he offered no compensation or even apology for a very unsatisfactory dining experience. I was surprised and very disappointed. Don't eat there if you want to have a nice, quiet meal. April 26, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by monkey888 worst experience among all Sheratons we booked two club level rooms but were given two rooms at a lower level floor until we pointed it out. air-conditioning in the room is leaking shampoo, wash and conditioner are not re-filled at all, despite the fact that we left $5 tip at room staff at club lounge are not friendly September 4, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by Mateo13 Poorly staffed I thought the staff that was there was exceptional. Just not many of them. From checking in to food service ending with a 30 min wait for our car. One server in the bakery was overwhelmed front desk overwhelmed . Did sequestration hit the Gunther as well? I grew up in SA had dreamed of staying at The Gunther someday and was so very disappointed March 14, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by markebby Room conditions were not as expected. There was large dust bunnies on the return air vent in the bathroom as well as signs of mold around the bathtub, bathtub drain and bedroom ceiling. The bathroom had a lot less space than expected. The guest lounge on the third floor was closed for carpet cleaning on Sunday and we were not allowed access to the amenities that we paid for. October 17, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by drdave111 convenient location convenient to downtown sites, river walk, clean hotel...a/c was loud in our room, bathroom outdated, no refrigerator! October 13, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by Nuttytraveler Super disappointed I've stayed at this hotel numerous times in the past, but lately the charm has gone. While I miss the old look, I am ok with the new paint and boutiquey look; but the staff seems to have let the new look go to their heads. Not nearly as nice and hospitable as they once were (even though many are the same people). July 21, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by EddyQ Beautiful OLD Fraternity House ! Thank You for your Polite Service from the front desk to the valet.Our stay at the location was convenient to all of are activities in SA. The only probelm was we were not able to get any sleep after 2:00am because the Halls and rooms around us were filled with partying loud "kids".Will consider other location for quietness next trip. January 21, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by swansea Great staff!!! My wife and I checked in after 13 hours driving, on my 60th birthday, and your front-desk staff helped to make it a memorable birthday! She was working the evening of the 15th and is a credit to your facility, charming, professional, and welcoming. Great hotel, great location, great city! Thank you for a memorable vacation! April 28, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by jetsetter2014 Interior We have stayed at the Gunter in the past and really liked the stained woodwork. Painting all the woodwork white really changes the character of the hotel and in my opinion, not for the best. There were areas blocked off that were available before. It was a little disappointing. Maybe the hotel is still in remodel mode. June 3, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by Price2921 Not what my first visit was. Restroom in room to small, couldn't shut door without trouble, outside noise very bad. Bar/restaurant service slow/bad had to hunt them down to pay out., waited at least 20 for someone to come around. Did not receive the AARP discount, nor free parking and breakfast like advertised. August 12, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by gsully23 excellent stay From the time of check-in to departure, the entire staff was super! They took care of all my needs. Special thanks to Cynthia at the front desk and ALL the valet attendants. They probably got tired of me coming and going. Room was clean and very quiet! Again, thank you for a wonderful stay during my daughter's wedding. March 10, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Cecine Fantastic Staff I really appreciated the staff during my stay. They were exceptional in every way and very kind and pleasant. I am glad the hotel is being updated as the rooms were definitely dated and tired. Even though the rooms were showing wear it was still a pleasant stay with comfortable beds and bedding and it was VERY quiet! September 16, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Sandy26 A friendly Place The hotel is beautiful when you first walk in. I was struck with how friendly the staff was, from the front desk to the restaurant. Traveling alone, I felt safe and relaxed. The bed was wonderful, especially the pillows. The only draw back for me was not having wifi. The hotel was a short walk from the river walk. April 15, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by celi54 A 5 Star Visit! My husband and I would highly recommend this hotel to all our friends! We were really pleased with all aspects of the hotel...from our room to the excellent service we received during our short visit. We have decided that this will be the hotel we will be staying at from now on. Overall we were extremely happy! July 28, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Billsbaitshop Valentines Day Visit We chose the Sheraton Gunter for our overnight stay while attending the San Antonio Rodeo on Valentines Day. Checkin was quick and easy, valet parking was painless and quick, room was clean and fresh, restaurant breakfast buffet was good and service was also. All in all, a good value in downtown San Antonio. February 16, 2013

OnOne Software Plug-in Suite 5
by Stan Sholik
April 01, 2010 — The Photoshop plug-ins from onOne Software have always been a mixed bag because of the range of photographers to whom they appeal. Genuine Fractals and Mask Pro have been around for years and are likely to be found on the hard drives of many professional commercial photographers and retouchers, who frequently need these programs to scale and compose images. Professional portrait, wedding, landscape and fine art photographers are a more likely market for PhotoTools, FocalPoint and PhotoFrame—the photo effects plug-ins from onOne. And the tools in PhotoTune are more likely to appeal to advanced amateurs or professional photographers looking to quickly color-correct an image without dealing with Photoshop's Curves.

Last week Paul Chambers was finally let off by a judge that saw sense, and agreed that it was a joke
Last night a 17 year old lad was arrested after putting a message on Tom Daley's twitter feed suggesting he'd let his dad down.
Is it really a job for the boys & girls in blue to track down and arrest someone for what is little more than verbal abuse on a high-tech platform?

"It looks to me as though Twitter is more concerned about its own reputation than anything else."
That's an interesting comment. I would hazard a guess that pretty well every serious business is very concerned about its reputation, for on it is based - to a large extent - its future commercial success. For that reason I have no argument with Twitter if indeed it acted out of concern for its reputation.
To the exclusion of everything else? That's the bit that deserves examination - for what would be 'everything else', would it be respect for the law, or concern about its users' right to privacy, or just plain old common-sense?
This case is different, and the comment "So, a few months ago you had to spend a fortune to try and get information from Twitter and now it is handing it over without a thought." isn't valid. The 'fortune' was spent by a local authority which wanted the release of confidential information. The information about "this disturbed young man" was handed over to the Police because they have legal authority to demand it.
It's impossible to make a fully informed judgement about the rights and wrongs of a situation about which we know only what has been reported. The fact that the victim in this instance was a high-profile athlete undoubtedly had a bearing on what happened, but that's to be expected - famous people are far more likely to be the targets of internet abuse. One might say 'well in that case they should accept it as something that goes with the territory' but I don't subscribe to that view. Being famous doesn't mean you can't be distressed by personal abuse.

"It seems that Twitter is anticipating a law that doesn't, yet, exist."
That Bill relates to internet defamation, and that's not what we're discussing here. We're talking about the publication of abusive or distressing messages about or to an individual in a public access website.
That is - or can be - an offence under the UK Communications Act 2003, and the police have powers to require the owners of a social network site or web forum to disclose information about a person who posts such material, if that person resides in, or posted from a UK location, regardless of where the destination server is located.
The law has been used on numerous occasions to bring prosecutions.

I think it may be some time before we can say that comedian Al Murray is correct when he declares that people can say anything they want on twitter. Going back to the airport/joke case, I saw that the defence solicitor David Allen was claiming a "gotcha" moment when he caught Edwina Curry saying on twitter that she would "shoot tax exiles" Link here
I don't think what Curry said is in any way comparable with the Airport "joke" unless she made that statement during a period when the Home Secretary was changing the threat of being killed by tax exile protesters, from: "An attack is a strong possibility" to: "An attack is highly likely".

If the ruling was setting a boundary then it seems to me that the tweet was already pushing at that boundary. In January 2010 the threat from terrorism was at level: Substantial (an attack is a strong possibility). In the same month the Home Secretary changed the threat level to Severe (an attack is highly likely) So - perhaps Jan 2010 was a great time to make a joke about lets say.....overpaid footballers or some other group. Perhaps you might say that you could cheerfully strangle them? But with airports feeling nervous, it was probably not the greatest time to joke about an act of terrorism against an airport. And that is why it will be interesting to see if the appeal court ruling means that future tweets in the circumstances I am describing will be simply ignored.

Made 5 gal of a a simple "blonde" today for my gluten intolerant aunt:
60 minute total boil with..
6 lbs White Sorgum Syrup
1.5 lbs Demerara GF Cane Sugar (Florida Organic)
2oz Maltodextrin - added early in the boil
1oz Brewers Gold 60 mins
Centennial - 1/4 oz at 45, 30, 15 and 5 mins (1oz total)
1/4 oz coriander cracked seed - 3 mins
1/4 oz orange peel bitter - 3 mins
Danstar Nottingham Dry at 90 deg F
The final wort tasted a little sour, which is probably due to the sorgum. Hope it turns out enjoyable for her.
Also, noticed that this thing is still popping in the airlock after 6 days. Should be interesting. I wanted to keep it really simple since this was my first GF attempt.
Well, Im transfering to the 2nd for a few more days. Its been in the primary for 11 days and here are the specs:
For a 12 glass:
210.5 calories
20.4 grams of carbs
Smells and looks like beer....so I am hopeful!
Thanks Lee......its a little sweet today, and less sour. I think its going to be pretty good.

pe design vs embird
I am a newbie to this forum and so forgive me if I am out of line
I have pedesign lite am looking to upgrade for fonts and digitizing Does anybody know which would be a better choice the pedesign 7 or the Embird? I have a Brother 8500 and used to use pedesign 3/4 till new computer and it doesn't work with Vista
Hi, Embird is Vista compatible from what I understand. I use is soly in my digitizing business. I started with embird because it was the more affordalbe option. And 5 years of digitizing for a living, I've looked at the other, more expensive programs like PE design, Corel Drawings etc and they don't have any more functionality than Embird, so I'm still with it.
Here is a link that might be useful: Jolson's Designs
I purchased the Innov'is 4500D and received PE Design 7 with the machine. I have not been able to learn this digitizing program and was wondering if the Embird is more user friendly? I am looking at purchasing it through Secrets of Embroidery website and hope that the free tutorial that comes with the program will detail how to use the software. I really want to digitize company logo's so do I need to purchase additional plug-ins to do this? Thanks for any help.

CHARLESTON, West Virginia — A report says one-third of West Virginia schoolchildren under age 6 live in poor households and are at risk of falling significantly behind their classmates' achievements.
The West Virginia KIDS COUNT's annual report on children's wellbeing says the vocabularies of children as young as 18 months from low-income families are already several months behind their peers, and that continues throughout their educations.
The report released Tuesday says there's a 24 percent reading proficiency gap between low-income fourth-graders and their wealthier classmates, and a 23 gap in math proficiency for low-income eighth-graders.
The report suggests continued investments in high-quality child care can help close the achievement gap.
Overall, the report ranked West Virginia 37th in the nation for child wellbeing. That's unchanged from a year ago.

International Symposium on Baghdad's role in Islamic civilization planned
Given its glorious history, Baghdad today is a cause for sadness and apprehension among the Muslims and scholarly communities around the world.The collapse of order and the ongoing destruction in Baghdad means much more than the necessary cost of reshaping the Middle East, as generally advocated in the media. It has far-reaching impact on human historical consciousness and far greater significance for the history , intellectual and political legacy of not only the Islamic world but the history of human civilization in general.
Amid this transformative moment in the history of Baghdad, the University of Marmara, the Faculty of Divinity, the Department of Islamic History and Arts, Umraniye Municipality, and the Research Centre for Islamic History, Art and Culture of the Islamic Conference (IRCICA) are organizing a symposium on Baghdad to be held in mid-November 2008. (The exact date will be announced later).
We cordially invite you to contribute to the symposium on any of the topics dealing with politics, economy, science and education, religious movements, social and religious life, non-Muslims, architecture, art, and literature in Baghdad during the following periods:
- Baghdad from its establishment to the Mongol conquests,
- From the Mongol conquests to the Ottoman Period,
- Baghdad during the Ottoman Period,
- Baghdad after the Ottoman Period....
Please send your abstract by 30 January 2008 by e-mail to: Dr. Nuh Arslantas, Secretary

March 30, 2015Colorectal cancer is the nation's No. 2 cause of cancer-related deaths -- but it is one of only a few cancers that can be prevented. Through proper screenings, doctors can find and remove hidden growths in the colon called polyps before they become cancerous. Removing polyps can prevent cancer altogether.

9/9/2013 (1 year ago)
Catholic Online (www.catholic.org)
leader Tony Abbott swept won Australia's national elections this
weekend. The vote has swept away the Labor government for failing to
reap the benefits of the country's now fading mining boom. "From today I
declare that Australia is under new management and Australia is once
more open for business," Abbott told his supporters in Sydney.

Published in Asia Pacific
Keywords: Australia, Tony Abbott, elections, Labor party
LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - A former boxer, Rhodes Scholar and trainee priest, Abbott has promised to restore political stability, cut taxes and crack down on boat people currently swarming into Australia for sanctuary.
After a highly unsatisfactory six years, Labor dumped Prime Minister Kevin Rudd in 2010 for Australia's first female Prime Minister Julia Gillard. Rudd was then hastily reinstated in June of this year in a desperate bid to stay in power.
"It is the people of Australia to determine the government and the prime minister of this country and you will punish anyone who takes you for granted," Abbott said.
Rudd, in the meantime was given a rousing welcome in his hometown of Brisbane. Rudd conceded defeat and announced he would step down as party leader.
"I know that Labor hearts are heavy across the nation tonight. I gave it my all. But it was not enough to win," Rudd said, supported by his wife and family.
Australia's Labor party overall vote was its worst since 2004, when conservative Prime Minister John Howard won his fourth and final term, but was not as bad as the party had feared. Labor held on to all of its close seats in Rudd's home state of Queensland, and held onto several marginal seats in western Sydney.
Abbott's Liberal-National Party coalition had won around 52.6 percent of the national vote, and projected it would win at least 88 seats in the 150-seat parliament.
Abbott could end up with a majority of around 30 seats, ending the country's first minority government since World War II.
"This was an election that was lost by the government more than one that was won by the opposition," former Labor Prime Minister Bob Hawke told reporters.
The 55-year-old Abbott built up a strong opinion poll lead on the back of promises to rein in government spending, scrap an unpopular tax on carbon emissions, and stop the flow of refugee boats arriving in Australia's northwest.

screened bottom questions
hi -- i'm a beginner beekeeper starting back up again after a 5 year hiatus. screened bottom boards were not something i was familiar with in the past. here are my questions:
when hiving new package bees, do i need to use a standard bottom board with the screened varroa trap?
or do i just leave the screen in place on it's own?
can i ever use just the screen without the stickyboard in place underneath or will the mites get back in? (hive is also on a hive stand)
is there ever reason for me to use a standard bottom board with the screened board (winter, etc)?
thanks for your help! please keep your answers basic!
Living in the north as you do I would say to use the screened bottom with the sticky paper. I use them here in SC to help cool the bees during the warm season. I do not even use the sticky paper. It seems to help to cool the colonies and also rid the colony of a few of the mites.
If the hives are off the ground, there is no need to ever close up the screened bottom board except to do a mite count a few times a year. You can leave the screened bottom board open all winter. The bees have a harder time in winter with moisture then they seem to have with cold. I never use a solid bottom board, the hives are always fully open through the screened bottom board (the bottoms of my hives are about 1.5 feet above the ground on stands), and we get occasional spells of -10 degree F winter temps. I do use straw bales as windbreaks on the north and west sides of the hives, but the screened bottoms are always open.
I took off most of my solid bottom boards this spring. I was running screened bottom board on top of solid bottom boards but the space in beteween them just seemed to be a place to catch debris and encourage wax moths.I'm not sure if I'll winter with them yet. I do provide plenty of ventilation so moisture isn't a problem in the winter. I live in the north western corner of MA
