expert support
The Harley Medical Group is founded on care and our Medical Professionals are at the heart of this.
Our Plastic Surgeons are highly skilled, qualified and innovative and also have collective years of experience.
The General Medical Council (GMC) lists all Surgeons in the UK and those that specialise in Plastic Surgery. We accept membership of various professional associations, such as the British Association of Plastic Surgeons (BAPS) and the British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons (BAAPS).
We will not accept a Cosmetic Surgeon unless they are on the UK's General Medical Council as a Plastic Surgeon. As well as being registered, we also believe it is vital that your Cosmetic Surgeon has plenty of experience. In fact, your Plastic Surgeon should be carrying out Cosmetic Surgery operations daily.
Our Medical Advisory Committee of Plastic Surgeons is headed by an independent medical advisor who was previously an NHS consultant in Plastic Surgery. We provide the highest standards of treatment and care in our hospitals.
All our medical staff are approachable, competent and available to you 24 hours a day. Each of our fully staffed clinics are recognised centres of excellence in Cosmetic Surgery.
Sun damage and sun spots
As we get older, our skin, particularly on the face, starts to show signs of ageing and this can be difficult to come to terms with when we're used to having radiant, youthful-looking skin. The most common characteristics of ageing skin are lines and wrinkles, pigmentation, sun spots and sun damage, all of which can be treated effectively and painlessly.
Smile lines and wrinkles around the mouth
Our faces are what people first see and often what they remember most about us so it can be difficult when we look in the mirror and see that we're showing signs of ageing. Noticing lines and wrinkles between the nose and mouth, or sagging skin around the eyes or along the jawline can be upsetting and make us look much older than we feel.
Age spots and liver spots
As we get older our skin changes and it's completely natural to see fine lines, wrinkles and age spots appear. It can be a difficult transition for many men and women but there are a number of very effective treatments available at The Harley Medical Group. The appearance of age spots – flat and oval shaped patches of skin - on the face and body can be dramatically reduced, leaving you with more even, younger looking skin.
Freckles and Pigmentation
The average Briton has approximately 35 Freckles on their body, the number of which can increase at hotter times of the year and as a result of sun exposure. While some proudly sport their Freckles, many people can feel self-conscious about this blemish and take steps to conceal their Freckles from view.
Suffering with an uneven skin tone caused by pigmentation can be really damaging to our self-esteem and it's often difficult to cover with make-up. Pigmentation – the appearance of red or brown patches on the skin - is a very common form of skin damage that can be unsightly and ageing and until recently it has been difficult to treat.
Uneven skin tone
Everyone wants to enjoy a glowing, vibrant complexion but the reality is that millions of us have an uneven skin tone. When patches of skin on the face and body appear lighter or darker than surrounding areas, it can lead to a mottled appearance which makeup often can't hide. If you're worried about the appearance of your skin, it's important to know that it's completely normal and there are some quick, easy and pain-free ways to dramatically improve it.
Tired and dull skin
We all want bright, youthful-looking skin and a well-balanced, clear complexion, but our busy lives, city living and bad habits can make this seem unachievable for many people. While it's all too easy to give up on your skin and rely on make-up, there have never been more quick, easy and non-surgical ways to brighten the complexion, reduce the visible signs of ageing and regain that youthful glow.
Stretch marks
Stretch marks are incredibly common among both men and women and their sudden appearance can be distressing, particularly as most people think these unsightly marks are impossible to get rid of. Stretch marks can appear anywhere on the body but tend to be most common on the stomach, bottom, thighs and breasts – those areas of the body that are more prone to changing shape and size. How your stretch marks look depends on your skin type and colour, where they are on the body, the extent of them and how long you've had them for. No matter whether you've got lots or just a few, our laser treatment can dramatically reduce their appearance, and often get rid of them completely.
Many of us have scars from accidents or surgery and while some are small and unnoticeable, others can really affect confidence and self-esteem, particularly if they're large or in an obvious place such as the face. Most people think of scars as something they have to live with but effective laser treatments mean this is no longer the case.
Adult Acne
Suffering with adult acne is really difficult and it often feels unfair as many of us think this common skin condition is left behind in our teenage years. However, millions of adults have acne so if you've just noticed a change in your skin or you're sick of flare-ups, don't despair - there are effective treatments available.
Acne scars
Having adult acne or acne scars can really damage confidence and self-esteem and that's why it's important to know that there are some really effective treatments available. Instead of suffering with acne scarring and battling to cover them with make-up, read about the acne scar treatments, including laser treatments that are available at your nearest clinic.
Spider veins and thread veins
Visible veins on the face and body can really damage your confidence, but you're not alone, there are some really effective treatments available. While they can occur just about anywhere on the body, thread veins (also known as spider veins) are most commonly found on the cheeks and nose and on the legs. They are blood vessels that have become swollen when they twist and turn, meaning they become visible through the skin. We can treat these tiny, irritating veins wherever they occur.
When your skin doesn't look as smooth and blemish free as you'd like it can be difficult to feel completely confident about yourself. Rosacea is a very common skin condition that causes redness and pimples on the nose, cheeks, chin and forehead and often looks like adult acne. As well as causing the sensitive skin on your face to be red and sometimes inflamed and swollen, Rosacea can lead to soreness and a burning sensation around the eyes and eyelids.
Spots can be a nuisance or they can be really damaging to how we feel about ourselves, particularly if they're red, raised or are painful, like acne.
Brow lines
Brow lines and wrinkles are a completely normal and natural part of the ageing process, but that doesn't make them any easier to deal with if they're making you look older than you feel. Unsightly brow lines or crow's feet around the corners of the eyes can make you appear older, tired and even sad, but they're no longer something that you have to put up with.
Excessive Hair Growth
There are many reasons why women may notice excessive facial and body hair – a condition known as hirsutism – but no matter how normal and common it is, it can be embarrassing and very difficult to come to terms with. However, there are ways to remove and permanently reduce excess face and body hair safely and painlessly.
Ingrown hair
Ingrown hair is one of life's annoyances, with most people experiencing it at some point in their life. While nothing to worry about from a medical point of view, it can be very painful and unsightly and in severe cases can cause scarring. Because it's so common, we're pleased to be able to offer a highly effective treatment for both men and women.
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)
For millions of women in the UK Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is a part of life. It is a very common condition in which cysts filled with fluid grow on the ovaries. While in a lot of cases these cysts cause no health issues at all, they can result in hormonal imbalances, as the ovaries start to produce more male hormones than normal.
Crow's feet and under eye wrinkles
We all start to notice wrinkles as we get older, usually around the eyes and between the nose and mouth. While these are a natural part of the ageing process, it doesn't make them any easier to get used to and often they make us look much older than we feel. Fine lines around the eyes are often known as crow's feet or laughter lines and they tend to be particularly noticeable or appear first because the skin around the eyes is thinner than on the rest of the face.
Lines and wrinkles
Lines and wrinkles on the face are a completely normal and natural part of the ageing process, so if you're worried about looking older, it's important to know that you're not alone and there are plenty of great treatments that can help. Around the eyes, lines are known as crow's feet, while deeper wrinkles between the eyebrows are known as frown lines and around the mouth as laughter lines. Whether you're just starting to notice them or they've been bothering you for a while, lines and wrinkles don't have to be a part of getting older if you don't want them to be.
Thin lips and wrinkles
Some people have naturally thin lips while for others a loss of collagen as we get older can mean lips aren't as plump and full as we might like. Another sign of ageing can be the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles around the lips, which often make the mouth look puckered.
Sagging eyelids
Sagging of the upper eyelids is a very common sign of ageing and one which most of us will experience as we get older. This visual sign of getting older can be particularly difficult to come to terms with as old-looking eyes can age the rest of our face dramatically. Aside from making us look older than we actually are, wrinkles around the eyes and droopy eyes can affect our vision if left untreated.
Excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis)
Sweating a lot can be very embarrassing, especially at work, in important meetings, on a date or when using public transport. But it's important to remember that excessive sweating, also known as hyperhidrosis, is not an uncommon condition and it can be easily treated.

G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra - Grading & Discussion
View Single Post
August 8 2009, 01:06 AM
Rear Admiral
Re: G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra - Grading & Discussion
I rate GI Joe as average.
I had very, very low expectations for the movie going in. The trailer didn't impress me, nor did most of the casting, except for Ray Park. I was a major fan of GI Joe: A Real American Hero cartoon, not so much the 80's comics, and the trailers and info I was hearing about this movie sounded like apostasy. Plus, I got an early peek at CC's mask courtesy of this board and I damn near went ballistic.
But after I bought the GI Joe Season 1 set and looked back on the history of GI Joe, I can imagine that an older generation might've looked the same way on the 80's Joes that I revered. With that mindset, I tried to give the Joe movie a fair shake.
I thought it was pretty mindless, loud action, a little too CGI heavy at points. But looking back at the cartoon, with its fantastical elements, I can't fault most of the super hi-tech in the film, though I'm still not sold on the accelerator suits. And I don't get why they let the rookies wear them? I know I should leave logic and reason behind with this film, but it was a question that popped into my head.
I thought the Joes handled their roles fairly well. Marlon Wayans wasn't as bad as I thought he would be. I liked his flirtation with Scarlett. Hopefully a romance will develop there. Duke was okay, though I don't think he was as dashing as the cartoon Duke, though true to the cartoon, Tatum's Duke also had a penchant for getting captured. Rachel Nichols was quite the vision as Scarlett. I thought Breaker and Heavy Duty also had nice chemistry with the team, though they didn't do much. Ray Park was great as Snake Eyes, but I didn't like the molded look of his suit, particularly the lips. At first I thought that Dennis Quaid was a good choice for Hawk, but I think he overdid it a bit. I wished for the quieter gravitas of Bruce Greenwood's Pike.
As for Cobra, Eccelston (?) was fine as Destro, though I miss the deep bass voice of the cartoon version. Sienna Miller was passable as the Baroness, though I would've preferred the colder, hardcore East European (?) version from the cartoon. The cartoon Baroness was perhaps more over the top than Miller, but far more ruthless. I rolled my eyes at the Duke-Baroness relationship, but as the movie went on I didn't totally gag because it opens up some new territory for the characters to explore. Also, I felt a little better about Miller-Baroness's somewhat predictable, but totally out of character, change of heart after the flashback with Rex injecting her with the nanomites. I was wondering how Miller's character became such a villainous badass as I was watching the film, but the nanomites explain it. I was prepared to hate Rex, but I thought Levitt did a decent job. The voice was different than Chris Latta's, but creepy enough. I still don't like Cobra Commander's mask, but I didn't hate it as much when I saw it on the big screen as I did on the toy. It seemed a bit more metallic and somewhat in line with the Neo-Vipers.
I really liked the Neo-Vipers. They were pretty badass, and I liked their mask-helmets. I wish they had done a better job though accessorizing them for the winter base. I thought Vosloo made for a good Zartan. But I think my favorite Cobra was Storm Shadow. Watching the cartoons again, I realized how lame they made Storm Shadow. This movie corrected that. SS is pretty ruthless and far more effective than he ever was in the cartoon. The Snake Eyes-Storm Shadow fights were perhaps the best thing in the movie.
I think the ending was a pretty confident move on Sommers part. I hope he gets another chance, though I'm not sure if I want to see another installment. It is GI Joe, but it isn't my GI Joe.
But just in case I change my mind about a sequel...If there is a sequel I hope they bring in Gung Ho, Shipwreck, Flint, and Lady Jaye for the Joes. A cameo from Sgt. Slaughter wouldn't hurt either. For Cobra, I want to see Major Bludd-he was often unsung but I thought he was hard core. I wouldn't mind seeing Firefly, the Dreadnoks, Tomax and Xamot either.

Your parents worked hard to make your wedding day a success. They deserve a bit of special thanks for all of their dedication and effort. You're probably tapped from paying your share of the wedding, but the best wedding gifts for parents don't need to be expensive. These gifts should be thoughtful, useful and memorable.
Picture frames: Photo albums and picture frames make incredible gifts for parents, especially after a wedding. Your parents will want to show their friends, family members and co-workers photos of your special day, so why not make it easy by giving them a variety of albums and picture frames to choose from? Hanging picture frames are great for the home while photo boxes or small albums are perfect for carrying pictures back and forth.
Wine baskets: A wine basket is a thoughtful and useful gift for parents, if they drink wine, of course. A beautiful wine basket full of their favorite vintages, cheeses and crackers is the perfect way to thank your parents for all of their hard work before your wedding. Let them know how grateful you are by giving them the tools they need to enjoy a relaxing evening at home.
Jewelry boxes: Your parents will love a special jewelry box to keep their favorite items safe from harm. You might think only your mother would appreciate a jewelry box, but your father could really use one as well. There are plenty of boxes, for both men and women, designed for the careful storage of rings, earrings, necklaces and even watches. You'll find plenty of unique designs to choose from, making it easy to find the perfect fit for mom or dad. Have the jewelry box engraved with your names and wedding date to add a personal touch.
Gourmet food baskets: Do your parents have a favorite food or dessert that they don't regularly purchase for themselves? Why not send them a beautiful gourmet food basket customized with their favorite treats? They'll enjoy the opportunity to kick back and relax without having to spend more money on food and will love the fact that you were thinking of them after your special day.

Gallery: Casa del Agua in Mexico City Serves Local Filtered Rainwater
Casa del Agua is a new artisan bar concept in Mexico City where you can go for a drink of rainwater! The water is served in specially-designed and reusable glass bottles, and it's harvested and filtered on-site. The sleek space in the Mexican capital was designed by Hector Esrawe and Ignacio Cadena who followed the brand's principles: transparency, good quality and timeless design.
The water served at Casa del Agua meets the highest possible purification standard, going through a process of triple filtration, evaporation and condensation that makes it pure and perfect to drink. Then it is rematerialized and ionized, increasing its alkaline and antioxidant properties. A lovely concept that makes good use of the most valuable natural resource, we're thirsty for more ideas like this.

Caren's 46th birthday
Woken up at 7 by Ria, come now, look see the monkeys. Leapt out of bed half asleep to see heaps of monkeys leaping around and flying through the trees by the branches. A brilliant sight to see, got a few shots in so hopefully there are some good ones among them. Following that excitement we had cooked breakfast then headed for the pool about 9. Plenty of sunshine, just a lazy beautiful day. Finished off the bottle of Amarula that Caren gave me - delish! Clean up ...
Last day in SA, heading home
Today was our last day in SA and what a trip it has been.
We woke early to make the most of the day and then headed off to the LAke in the centre of Sun City to meet with our guide for the Segway tour.
None of us had ever been on a Segway before but we were really keen to give it a go and as we arrived at the ticket office we were then soon picked up by a man in a golf cart seating 7 people!
We arrived at the lake shortly after to ...
The Palace of the Lost City
We awoke after an unusual and welcome lie in and headed to breakfast. It is difficult to describe how impressive the breakfast buffet was unless you had seen it or experienced it before. It is South Africas largest breakfast buffet with 250 items to choose from and its quite frankly ridiculously good!! From one side to the other you have Cereals, nuts and seeds, then a huge table full of olives, ...
Final day on Safari...
Last Game drive and then off to Sun City!
Another early start, (getting used to them now!) and we headed out on a mission to see as much as we could. The first hour or so proved totally fruitless and we stopped for coffee and rusks and looked out over the savannah.
As we started again we were about 30 mins from the end when I spotted a horn in a bush off to the left ...
Safari Day 3
Again we woke early and were on the land rover for 6:30am. We set off eager to follow up our leopard encounter with a Lion sighting and had our hearts set on that. Emily and Catherine had even worn their lucky zebra print tops in a bit to improve the chances.
It started slowly but then we spotted more elephant, giraffe and a huge Rhino.

We describe a modified technique using the gluteus maximus muscle as a splitting myocutaneous flap to close specifically low sacral and coccygeal pressure ulcers. Twenty-eight patients with sacral or coccygeal stage IV pressure ulcers (average size 4 x 4 cm) underwent a gluteus maximus muscle-splitting myocutaneous flap when conservative treatment failed to heal the ulcer. Twenty-seven of the 28 patients had complete healing of the pressure ulcer site at an average follow-up of 15 months (range 2 to 40 months). Complications occurred in 7 patients, requiring revision of the flap in 2 patients.
The advantages of this technique include reduced blood loss, preservation of most of the gluteus maximus for future use, and retained function of the gluteus maximus for stair climbing and single-limb support in the ambulatory patient.
We recommend the gluteus maximus muscle-splitting myocutaneous flap as the procedure of choice for closure of small low sacral or coccygeal ulcers in both the ambulatory and nonambulatory patient.

Cadillac Concurs 1996 for a work car?
I have been looking for a used work car.I found a nice clean Cadillac Wow a lot of car and can be had for around $4000.00 and my old Buick Regal that they would give me $1000.00 trade.
This Caddy has a V-8 Northstar and 119.000 miles and is clean and well maintained looks like a 2006.Supposibly gets 26mpg on the highway?My concern is all the electrical bells ans whistles.Why is a luxury car like this priced so low?This is the same price this model goes for around here all over the place.Wonder if there is a reason they lost so much from there $30'000 plus sticker price?I realise it is a 12 year old car.But still seems like a deal to me?Anything im missing here?Like they would be a money pit?My wife saids because its a boat.Oh and this one is the gold edition.
Those old Caddys are good land barges. Before you buy, check out the fuel mileage and will that be acceptable? Will it pass emmisions test? Does it need a set of brakes or tires?
Part of the explanation of the $4000 price tag is as you mentioned, its a 12 yr old vehicle. The dealer may not be stocking certain parts for it any more. Those parts may yet be available, but may have to be ordered from a warehouse center.
If it has seen 12 winters of road salt, look for corrosion damage on the undercarrage and body.
No emmision testing in this area.I will take a close look at the undercarrage.Because rust has taken over under my 14 year old Buick and top side also.
I seen a owner review that saids they need premium fuel?If that the case I will pass.Not sure if that true or not however?
What gets me is this can be bought for this price and had such a high sticker price.Yet a vehical that cost half this price and even less has the same resale value.Just seems strange to me.
This is the essence of most vehicle owner missconceptions. Until an issue is really discovered that makes ownership/use of the vehcile unjustifiable in a "dollars per mile" sense, there isn't a reason to not have this car if you really like it. I have heard the words, "How can it be XXXXX to fix my car when I only paid YYYYY for it?" Simply put, it costs, to fix what it costs to fix.
If this engine should need headgaskets, it's quite likely the headbolt holes in the block will need inserts put in. This truly limits the shops that you can go to to have this work done, but performed correctly will last another 100,000 miles +. The deal is, it's an expensive repair rivaling what you are going to pay for the car, if not more. Imagine then turning around and having to replace the transmission, and then some hub bearings, and struts, ect. No matter what you will spend some money, but seriously, lets compare all of this to what a new Scion costs. Buying the Cadillac, and having to do every repair mentioned would cost less than that brand new car! Meanwhile you would have spent the last five years driving in relative luxury.
I "aquired" a 1990 Deville that I rebuilt the engine on. it was a 4.5l. I enjoyed driving that around for two years, and then gave it to a nephew and he used it for five more. I think he gave it to someone else when he could finally buy a new car. The funniest stories are about how everyone that knew he filled vending machines for a living wondered how he could afford to drive a Cadillac.
BTW, he bought his Ford 500 with cash which he saved up by making monthly "car payments" to a savings account the whole time he drove the Deville.
I bought a 04 Deville back in March 07. The fuel economy of a V8 Northstar seems to be a well kept secret (and its got muscle too!). It can do 26mpg on hwy easily. I use my Deville daily to/from work. I average about 22 mpg combined hwy/city driving.
The headgaskets are a major concern for pre 2000 Northstars. Its about a $3500 repair. But I hear you can buy a coolant test kit for $10 at Autozone. It should tell you right away if that problem exist.
Anyway, just my 2 cents. Theres nothing like the ride of a Caddy. Hope it works out for you.
I took the Caddy for a test drive and decided to pass on it.To hard to park in todays world and it had a few issues.Had a few strange rattles and squicks coming from the rear suspension.Would rather have a small truck S-10 or Ranger.But they hold there value like gold around here.Buying a used vehical is not like it use to be.Every thing in the $5000.00 range and under is high miles 100.000 plus.Not so many years ago that meant it was not worth much.But today they claim miles dont mean anything.Unless of course your trading it in.

Rated 3.4 out of 5 by 1277 reviewers.
Rated 4 out of 5 by Cha13 Excellent Stay! Room was comfortable, clean and quiet. Very convenient to medical facility! April 18, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by CVP32 Poorly kept On arrival, the hotel was uncomfortably warm. No recognition for Gold SPG verbally or other. On arrival to 24th floor, greeted by a large pile of dirty sheets and garbage bags by elevator (4pm)...another pile of dirty sheets by my room 2404. All that remained thru checkout next morning. In room, a long hair on the mirror and other moderately offensive housekeeping no - no's. As an owner, I am not happy with the way this property is kept or shows. I will never stay here again or allow our company (PWC) to book anyone to same. April 17, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by WR5280 Great location but a little rundown The location was great and very convenient, but the rooms were a bit older and not as clean as other SPG hotels. The staff was friendly, but I'll probably opt for the W next time I'm in town, April 17, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Nelly65 Home Away From Home The Downtown Dallas Sheraton is truly my home away from home. For about the last 8 years, I have stayed at 400 N Olive and feel at home when I return. The staff is wonderful, the food is great, the rooms are clean and the beds are very comfortable! They have the BEST Fitness Center I always look forward to when I can return home at the Sheraton. April 14, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Gigi38 always a pleasure This was my 4th trip to the Sheraton Dallas and the service and rooms are always terrific. We had to wait about 3 hours past check-in to get into a couple of our rooms, but considering it was the weekend of the state FCCLA conference it was a little understandable. Definitely will be returning. April 14, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by sara62 A little more improvement needed waited over 30 minutes in line checking out to try and fix my bill, and it is still not correct. the lobby was overcrowed with high school kids trying to get their rooms (with all their luggage and items). the adults they were with were frustrated with the service. i was not happy having to pay for internet service. my room had some minor flaws, but was overall very comfortable. the parking structure needed to be cleaned. April 12, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by rtlover Disappointed!! I was extremely disappointed with this hotel. I heard really good reviews about this hotel from coworkers that had previously stayed…maybe change in management? The beds are very hard, and the toilets throughout the hotel kept me up- literally you could hear the toilets flushing on different floors. I stayed on the 8th floor and it had a strange odor (a coworker stayed on the 9th floor and it didn't smell). The staff aren't very friendly (a few were friendly). The waitress in the sports bar even told me three different time I didn't know what I was ordering, and that I was wrong. When I got home I checked my credit card and saw I had a charge- I called the hotel and the staff was extremely rude when I asked about their holding policy (she literally told me that the front desk didn't know the holding policy and I HAD to call back and talk to Accounting). Bottom line- I would not recommend this hotel to anyone. April 12, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by strawberry69 My Experience I was attending an event held at this hotel. I stayed in the South Tower and it was awful. The bathroom in my room was dirty when I arrived. The elevators in the South Tower three out of the four were not working and it took at least 30 to 40 minutes to go up to my room and back down again the same amount of time. The door to my room was not working properly and I complained to the desk staff more than three times and just got hateful rude service and the problem was never fixed or adressed. I was not informed that parking was an extra fee and the quote from my online reservation was wrong and had to pay even more extra the just the parking. If there is actually free Wifi I still have yet to find it. Will never stay at this hotel again. Rude unfriendly desk clerks and employees as a whole. April 12, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by Lea2013 VERY Unhappy customer There was a huge mix up with payment on my room. I was there for business and the room was prepaid by my company, but registration did not have the information entered in their system, which caused a HUGE mix up. They required me to use my debit card, until things were straightened up with my company, which my company cleared up (again) the next day. Well, two days later the mix up was still not fixed on the hotels end and my bank charged me $210.00 in overdraft fees after the hotel charged me the full bill and my personal bills went through. When I spoke with front desk people (three different times)they were rude to me (all but a young lady named Stephanie, who compt me a food tab). This was a very stressfull situation, caused by the hotels error and little was done to fix it. Then, I found two huge roaches in the fitness center. That is disgusting to say the least. April 11, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Lynn47 Wonderful Hotel This is a great place to stay. I always stay here when I come to Dallas. The staff always goes out of there way to accomodate my needs. Very clean, comfortable, and affordable. April 11, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by TJH2201 Great conference facility. Hotel location was great. Rooms were very clean. Great conference facility. April 11, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Mike Great Experiece Registration staff was so helpful in fixing my company reservation, finding my SPG number and getting me oriented to the facility. Room was very modern, equipped and clean. On site sports bar restaurant was inexpensive which is rare for a Hotel. All staff contacted even in passing was extremely friendly and made me feel welcome. PS. Largest Hotel Gym I have seen and used. Great Experience April 10, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by KL28 Exactly what I Needed Hotel staff was nice, loved the valet team. Bed was comfy and floor was quiet which was exactly what I needed after all day workshops. Close to many great sites. Forgot a few toiletries but housekeeping quickly brought it up for me. Very pleased overall. April 9, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by jps1722 This hotel is nice but a little pricey This hotel was very nice, although you had to pay for extras provided at other hotels, i.e. parking and internet service. Also, there was no in-room refrigerator. April 8, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Matt Absolutely Wonderful I had the most amazing time. My stay was very comfortable. The staff were excellent. They were all very nice and went out of their way to make me feel welcome, comfortable, and most of all...completely happy with my experience there. The only thing I can complain about is that there was no spa as advertised on the interactive "you are here" menu in the hallways. April 8, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by JulesfromHouston Great as always! My children and I love staying here.It's comfortable, convenient to downtown, the new Perot Museum, SMU and Highland Park. We really stay here because of the staff at the Club Level hospitality room. Mr. R, the older African American man, who works on Friday nights and Saturday mornings, is the best -- we love that he remembers us and helps my young boys put on cartoons while they're having a snack or breakfast. We travel a lot and we just don't get that same welcome elsewhere. Keep it up! April 7, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by MailToMrBrown Great Experience The staff was very precise with their advice and accommodating. I would stay again. Best hotel in Downtown Dallas. April 1, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by MrWright Great Hotel Staff and Service top notch, everyone I encountered was extremely friendly and engaging. March 29, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by Bohm49 This hotel has a good location. This hotel has a good location in Downtown Dallas, near the DART trains and within walking distance of the Art District, the Sixth Floor Museum and the Convention Center. I would have liked to be able to buy some fruit, though. March 27, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Brent paying for Internet is ridiculous!! I enjoyed the hotel but was upset to find I had to pay additional money for Internet usage. Even the most under rated hotel now a days provides complementary Internet and Sheraton wanted to charge me an additional $14.95 and that was the lowest rate of Internet. Other than this I really enjoyed the hotel March 26, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by TetePrata COMFORTABLE EXECUTIVE SUITE / GREAT CONCIERGE STAFF It's a very big and busy hotel. We stayed in an executive suite that was really comfortable in the North Tower. The hotel is close to DART line and from there you can go to lots of places around the town. It was THE BEST CONCIERGE STAFF I 've already met. They have maps, information about reataurants in walking distance, information about how to go to North Plaza Mall, etc. March 25, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by travler Would not stay here Again This is the 2nd time I had to stay at this hotel for a conference and this will be the last time. Resturant service was extremely poor and food was terrible. The internet connection is overpriced for the speed. Internet is not conducive to conducting daily business off site. Rooms are small and cramped for the value. March 25, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by runnerbob Don't use if your doing a running event. We did the Dallas half marathon and booked in as runners. They put us next to a room being used for a party. At one time there had to be twenty people in the hallway drinking with loud music. The desk was called at ten and eleven. Th desk advised security but the music continued till after midnight. We had to get up at five to race. March 25, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Jodi Great place to stay. People are friendly and helpful. For being an older hotel, the rooms have been renovated nicely. The beds were very comfy and rooms clean. We really enjoyed our stay. Location is great. Close to DART. March 25, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Dianne Good hotel, good location I enjoyed my stay at your hotel in Dallas. The room was spacious and I enjoyed the ability to control the temperature myself. The beds were comfortable and maid service was good. I only had one negative experience. When returning to the hotel after dinner, my roommate had some leftovers in a box. She wanted to heat them up so she could eat them. She was told that there was a $20 fee for use of the microwave! Seriously? March 25, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by h91hh Too loud, need internet, key problems The music in the lobby is very loud. Why is there music at all in the lobby at 6 am? When I checked in and went up to my room my key did not work. I had to call down for someone the bring up new keys. (When i was checking in a man came to the reception desk with this problem, too.) On the third day of my stay the keys stopped working again and had to be replaced. It would be really nice to have wifi or at least internet available in the rooms for free. Next time I will choose my hotel based on that service alone. March 25, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by ilyac1 Sheraton Dallas I drove up to the hotel and it looked older so I automatically assumed that it just might be an ok stay. I got to the counter and learned that I was upgraded to the Presidential Suite on random since they were running out of rooms. This turned out to be one of the best nights I had in a hotel. The hotel was lively, full of energy and very clean. People were friendly. I would stay here again. March 25, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Linda the staff is outstanding and I love the "green" program The staff was always friendly and helpful during my entire stay, despite being extremely busy with conventions when I was there. I love the "green" option of not having your room serviced. I think that is a win/win for everyone. The fitness center was also VERY nice. March 25, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by theanonymousprof This hotel needs free in-room wifi Stayed at the Sheraton on Olive St. in Dallas recently for a professional conference. The space is good for facilitating both conference business and the meetings that are connected to it. There is a decent restaurant as well as a smaller quiet bar and a very large sports bar (considerably louder). I spent plenty of time chatting with people in both. The hotel needs to have its technological infrastructure updated - it needs to have FREE in-room wifi as well as the "lab" in the lobby. Why have a separate business center on the 2nd floor if you have an upscale computer-lab style facility in the lobby? There are also some service issues as well. On the day of my departure, the Concierge had yet to distribute room receipts under the door as of 6AM. Having stayed at many hotels for business, this is very late. They had an e-option as a back up, so I took that. When I was trying to leave the hotel parking garage, I could not get my room card to trigger the arm lift (so I could drive out of the hotel). I used the "call for service" button and the attendant showed up right away (6:15 on a Saturday morning, BTW). Overall, the hotel has been redecorated to modernize it, but the technology infrastructure in the rooms needs to be added. Rest assured your competitors are on this issue. March 25, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by drew Nice hotel & rooom, but issues.... Very nice facility and room. However, 2 of the 3 printers weren't working in computer area and no one was nearby to assist. Seems kind of silly that a hotel of this caliber would have an achilles heel like this. Also, one computer wouldn't type the "5" key as I repeatedly tried to log into my email and later discovered that was the issue. Also, concierge gave me incorrect meeting about the DART. She told me I would have to switch lines to get to the American Airlines Center when there are two that go directly there. Also, told me that passes were good for 24 hours. They expire at the end of the night and I even asked her as usually that is the case, but she was certain it was 24 hours. Then, she told me that the Love Field airport was "right there" at the DART stop. I had to ask someone how to get to Love Field from there and there is a shuttle that goes as it is a couple of miles away. Not a huge deal, but a concierge should know this and shouldn't give false information with such decisiveness, let alone 3 times in the course of 90 seconds. March 25, 2013

Đoàn Thị Điểm
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Doan Thi Diem)
Đoàn Thị Điểm (段氏點, 1705–48) was a Vietnamese woman poet.
She is best known for her biography of the goddess Liễu Hạnh[1] and her version of Đặng Trần Côn's poem "Lament of a Soldier's Wife" (Chinh phụ ngâm) from chữ Hán into vernacular chữ nôm.[2] The Lament is an example of song thất lục bát ("double seven, six eight") form.[3]

- ^ Anthony Bott - Dimensions: Texts from Asia for the Upper Secondary English Classroom Page 7 1998 "The Lament of a Warrior's Wife - Doan Thi Diem. Doan Thi Diem was born in Vietnam in 1705 and died in 1748. She was a poet, an educated woman, and her most important work was the long narrative poem from which this extract has been taken.

The poet Đoàn Thị Điểm was also greatly esteemed for "Lament of a Soldier's Wife," a poem she wrote in classical Chinese. The considerable merit bestowed on Lê Quý Đôn stemmed from the astuteness of his work overall and his phenomenal productivity: he authored at least three chronicles, several volumes of poetry, two encyclopedic compilations, and.."

patio floor on the cheap?
Any suggestions for replacing/covering a badly cracked concrete floor? We were planning on laying down sand and putting pavers over it, but our budget is quickly being eaten up by the structure over the area. (Pictures later.)The floor will be under roof.
Go to one of those giant stores that sell tile, and get a square or two each payday. They have rough travertine (not slippery)in giant tiles, so you wouldn't have to buy so many separate tiles. We want a travertine floor, but it is too much to do at once. I am going to try to talk DH into it, and if he doesn't go for it, I'll just go buy them.
Instead of buying the pavers, have you thought about getting a "Walkmaker" and using quickrete to make the pavers? They come in a number of patterns, and I think should be fine over concrete, but would be much less expensive - quickrete is about $3 a bag here, and one bag makes a 2x2 ft. area plus a little extra. I did my back patio with the brick pattern last year, and it is wonderful ... but it was a lot of work.
Here's a picture of my patio area that i painted cause it was old and cracked. I used a walkmaker that i had and turn it over and used it like a stencil. I used spray paint and didn't cover it heavy so you could see some the concrete to look more like bricks. Just a thought and cheap. Brenda
I would love to see a close up. It is beautiful!
My patio is in bad shape also. A neigbhor spilled iron something used to fertilize lawns on his sidewalk and the stain has been there for several years. I was thinking doing something with that stuff, maybe a stencil like yours. I was planning to incorporate the cracks in the design making a flagstone pattern.
Quickrete also has a self leveling product. You can put a frame on the outside and pour it in to level. If you have cracks that are not level and are rising up maybe on one side, it would be the best thing....check with the home hardware store. They have brochures on it also.
I saw on TV where a guy used it on top of his tile counters cause he did not like it....and then turned around and used it on his floors in one room.
I've found this thread late, but please tell, what is a walkmaker? Where do you buy it and what does it do?
We swear the former owners of our house MUST have had stock in a cement company. We had cement EVERYWHERE when we first moved in. The entire front yard was a cement driveway (!). Half the back yard or more was another cement driveway and patio. Teeny little back yard beyond concrete. Well, we replaced the front yard with sod (how I wish we would have bit the bullet and had all of the concrete removed at that time). But the back yard still has half cement--one big patio. We've managed to plant nice stuff around the patio, and put gazebo on top of patio (which helps a lot), but still have that cement eyesore patio.
I'd love to paint. Not sure about re-surfacing because we want to replace eventually. But painting I could handle. Painting bricks would be wonderful. Your technique sounds easier than another on another link on this page. What did you do? Mine doesn't have to look perfect . . .just better. I'd love to hear more detail on the process.
Room looks beautiful, btw.
Thanks for sharing!
We have a covered patio that gets flooded when it rains due to the grade of the backyard. We want to cover the old cracked concrete in an attractive fashion and are open to suggestions for inexpensive but good-looking (and hopefully long lasting) material. We are not hands-on people and would like to keep the cost around $500 if possible. The patio is about 150 sq. feet. Any suggestions or references?
I live in an old barn that has concrete floors...
In the living room we have a 12 by 23 piece of carpet...but it didn't cover the whole area.
So I bought a large sponge and cut it into the size of a paver brick. I bought "patio paint"...and painted bricks around the outside of the carpet.(about two feet wide to four feet...) It is a high traffic area...The paint has been there for about 5 years and still looks good.
I also did it in my laundry/pantry room...with a back door opening there...Thats where we let the dogs in and out...it also gets a lot of traffic. and also still looks good.
I think if you have a roof covering the area that patio paint will work good for you.
And it isn't costly at all...
If you have the energy....you could have bricks this year and rocks painted next year.
Since this thread is almost two years old it may have been better if you started a new one. That way you could opt to get replies sent to your e-mail so as not to have reponses lost.
However I do have this in my "bag O' links" and it may be of interest for you and others. It is somewhat hands on but not out of reach technically. Simple tools and methods.
While I wouldn't use this method for say, a formal dining room, it could work for a number of other utility spaces like mud rooms or open prorches or sheds and such.
Pretty slick thinking for the guy who thunk it up.
If you go to www.concretenetwork.com you will find many dozens of pages on creating all manner of decorative concrete. Video tutorials, slides, suppliers all there. Great resource.

I posted the original message & the project still isn't completed but will be later this spring. We found a source of free brick 2nds at a local brickyard. In my files I also have this rather cool link for faux slate. Looks do-able.

"Superb history."
I am a longtime fan of American History and Paul Johnson's "A History of the American People" is the most insightful and as well researched as any I have encountered. I can recommend this book as an excellent source for the novice and advanced connoisseur. In addition the book is very entertaining and engaging.

Figure 7.
Surfactant protein mRNA levels in alveolar type II cells. Real-time PCR using total RNA from freshly isolated (uncultured) AT II cells was performed for quantification of mRNA levels of SP-A, SP-B and SP-C (n = 6, each). The results of triplicate analysis for each sample were paired between the control and ASCFTR samples and expressed as percentage of control. The mRNA levels (normalized to the house keeping gene RPL13A) for all three proteins were similar in the two groups. The results were considered significant at ≥ 200% (≥ 2-fold) of the Control.
