Rated 3.1 out of 5 by 751 reviewers.
Rated 4 out of 5 by MAB78 Better than expected! Based on the recent reviews, I was nervous about my upcoming stay at the Park Lane. I am happy to report that even without low expectations I would have been perfectly satisfied with my experience. I was upgraded to a large corner room, the bathroom was clean, and the furniture was comfortable and did not seem overly worn. I am pretty sure this was not a post-renovation room, because it had a familiar feel from my last stay at the PL years ago. Bar staff at the Palm Court was very friendly and helpful as well, and steered me to a great choice for dinner entree. My only criticism would be the abundance of stairs between the Piccadilly entrance and the front desk, which made rolling my suitcase difficult. January 17, 2015
Rated 1 out of 5 by SPGfan29 Dilapidated I agree with the other reviews. This hotel was in shockingly bad shape. The lighting was poor, and the furniture and carpet was stained and torn in the suite. The lift was older than my old university hall's, and overall I felt like I was putting up in a dorm. The pricing, albeit the lowest of the Starwood hotels in central London, is not proportionate to the state of the hotel. January 6, 2015
Rated 2 out of 5 by 100platium Should not be a category 5 hotel Pros - Staff and front desk attitude - Complimentary platinum "a la carte" breakfast Cons - Waited 3 hours before check in since my room wasn't ready at 3 pm (expected check in times are at noon) in addition to not being upgraded as a platinum member - Room was really old and had rust in the shower tub and felt dirty for a category 5 hotel - Shower tub was very small in width and barely fits a normal sized man - Toilet didn't flush correctly, had to flush a couple of times before it picks up - Internet connectivity had intermittent issues January 3, 2015
Rated 1 out of 5 by TravelerUS2015 Wait until the renovation is complete! While this hotel is in an excellent location, the guest rooms and bathrooms are in tremendous need of updating - wait to stay here until after the renovations are complete. The staff is responsive, but during our stay the phones went out so it required us to go to the front desk to resolve any issues/needs - heat not working, towels, light bulbs. It was impossible to have a wake up call or to call family members staying in other rooms. SPG should close this hotel for renovation as it really does not represent the brand very well. January 2, 2015
Rated 3 out of 5 by jraindc Hotel has gone downhill We are staying here 12/25-1/1 in two rooms. It's the first time we've been here in four years and the property has really gone downhill. Upon check-in, the shower had clumps of the previous guest's hair. They only provide one bar of soap. Apparently, you can only wash your hands in the shower or the sink, not both. The hotel no longer has a luxury feel to it. Very cheap. The hotel is going through renovation (badly needed) and the staff, while trying, are overwhelmed. We will try a different property next time. December 27, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Ahmadz Amazing stay Before coming to any hotel you have to expect what you will find there. It was very urgent trip to London and i booked my room just 3 hours before arriving. what I need was accessible hotel. Once I arrived I got surprise from the big and nice lobby, food there was so good and that what I needed in this intense trip. Of course I will come back in 2016!!!!! I want to greet the Brazilian and Algerian who are working as staff and of course we talked about football!! Also the nice and sweet lady who served me once I checked out. Ps, When I was printing stuff a guest came to me and asked me about the rooms, I said mmmm it is still the same but they working to improve it. You have to come back in 2016!!. Thank you very much. It was very great trip!! December 20, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by judykitteh Super The Park Lane Hotel is exactly what we were looking for: Clean, quiet, beautiful hotel in the West End. They sent an email beforehand saying they were undergoing renovations during our stay, but I didn't notice any noise at all. The bed was extremely comfortable, the bathroom spacious, and the staff was very polite and helpful. Just a short walk away from all the theaters, I couldn't think of a more perfect place to stay. December 17, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Ravig Love this hotel! My wife and I visit London at least once a year and we always stay at the Park Lane Hotel. We love this hotel. It has a wonderful feel. The decor and the ambiance is quaint. Most importantly the service is excellent! We hope the decor in the palm court will remain the same. The gym needs to be upgraded. Thank you!! December 7, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Kandy10 Great hotel I would only have one criticism and that is the construction noise and the creaky hallway. December 6, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by Martin38 horrible Hi I would like to make a complaint. We stayed at the Sheraton Park Lane hotel during a December weekend break with my son. The complaint included the following 1. The hotel is being renovated, there was no information prior to booking that the hotel was being renovated 2. We initially were given a room next to the elevator, Sleeping was impossible. 3. We then changed to another room which was probably worse: a. Old and dirty b. The shower had fungus c. Heating was not working. We had to call an engineer d. Hot water in the shower was look warm e. The telephone was not working We would not be recommending the stay at this hotel to anyone. December 6, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by Yorkshiregirl Classic room that wasn't so classic We have stayed in a classic room before and this has been excellent for a one night stopover in London. However, this time the room was so small the double bed only just fitted inbetween the walls and right up against the window. I had to climb either down the bed or over my husband to get out. Also, tea and coffee facilities were available in the room but the cups were polystyrene! Not what one would expect from this catagory of hotel. Very disappointing. December 3, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by TravellerwithStandards Take Heed Fellow Travellers It was a nightmare that I didn't wake up from until I was far away from the place - literally I was getting ticketed by the London parking guy while trying to load my bags and leave for the airport. The managers apologize and make excuses, but that isn't enough. I wish I had read a review before booking. Renovation means the place is ancient and there are better rooms in the dungeons of the Tower of London. December 1, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by Teyvan Staff Very disappointed with the hotel. Refurbishment should've been done 10 years ago. also not very friendly in the bar area. However reception staff very professional,would like to thank the Trainee gentleman who was extremely caring and helpful throughout our stay. November 29, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by NeverDissatisfiedBefore ChandlerTraveler Consistent accommodations. November 23, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by petertom3 Back at the Park Lane Sheraton Another great stay at the Park Lane Sheraton hotel. A warm and friendly treating from Andrew and the front reception team, a cheeky glass of wine on the house whilst waiting for my room and then off out in London. Great location so many things can we walked. I know it is November but with the weather some air conditioning would help and a few more things in the gym. Staff always fantastic and a great concierge service. November 18, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by BenA Avoid until renovations are complete Let me start with saying this is/was one of my favorite SPG properties. Great location, beautiful old hotel. However, I came to realize that I needed 0 expectations for this past visit. Don't expect to use Suite Rewards or receive a Platinum upgrade. Those rooms are on the side of the hotel being renovated and are not available. Don't expect to have more than 5 tv channels during your stay. I called down every day and they told me it would be fixed right away. 5 days later, no changes. Don't expect to have more than 1 working elevator. Don't expect to have steady wifi service in the hotel. Don't expect to have a shower/tub more than 2 feet wide with 1/2 a shower curtain that you have to touch all the time since the shower is so narrow. I'm really hoping this property can get its act together during the 2 year renovation, or they are going to lose many long time guests. I'll be back, but only after renovations are complete. Maybe then the hotel can once again meet Platinum expectations. November 18, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by JOMalley Renovations in progress means excuse for poor recognition Staff failed to recognize platinum card, even at a very minimum level. Frederico (duty manager) could not even get up from his desk to help the checkin clerk when I questions the box room given. The upgrade on night two was no different. I understand demand but at no stage in the booking did I hear about renovations. I did not see any but this was the reason given for this very average showing. Not worth the stay. Opt for Le Meridien instead. November 17, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Aristea Good hotel with great potential Hotel perfectly located in London with a wonderful art deco coffee - bar area serving excellent tea & drinks. Rooms are being under renovation so the 2 rooms I got were of a lesser quality that what I experienced in previous stays. Certainly rooms need to be renovated. Disappointed that breakfast is not buffet any more. It used to be excellent as a buffet. However, besides served a la carte, food quality was good. Overall a pleasant experience for the 4th time, but with good renovation and better guest relations, this hotel has a great potential. November 5, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by petertom3 Always welcome Not often that I stay in London but the staff at the Park Lane Sheraton always remember me and give me great service. November 5, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by KB111 The Park Lane Hotel is a most enjoyable place to visit and stay. Everything about the Park Lane Hotel is good, great staff, great service, a nice place to spend time and a very convenient location. October 19, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Spencer68 Great location. Comfortable rooms and attentive staff Great location. A short run in the morning took me by Buckingham Palace, Westminster, Big Ben, Eye of London, Piccadilly and Trafalgar square. Rooms were spacious even by American standards. Service was exceptional. October 16, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Pogo1111 Outstanding staff and lovely hotel! We stayed four nights and we were so impressed with the quality of the staff and the comfortable, clean rooms. We were welcomed warmly, and everyone we dealt with was professional and courteous. I love the location of the hotel, and the fact that it actually retains character and hasn't turned in to a bland streamlined faceless place to lay your head. We had a fire alarm one night we were there, and the manager and staff handled it with grace and skill. They apologized, kept us informed, supplied blankets, worked to get us back to our rooms as swiftly as possible, and even offered a complimentary drink for the trouble. We had a experience of this exact nature at a hotel in the states, and believe me, they could take a lesson from the staff at the Park Lane. Overall, we had an outstanding stay. Also, we had been informed prior to checking in that there would be some renovation going on, but never heard a sound. The hotel was quiet the entire time we were there. Really a great place for runners, walkers and bike riders as well, as Green Park is right across the street. Highly recommend The Park Lane in London. October 13, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by MR71 This hotel needs improvement Hotel in terms of rooms, bathrooms, general facilities, reception looks 10 - 15 yrs older than it should. Need redoing so that it can sell its value/location October 13, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by FrequentTraveler171 Great City - Terrible Hotel This hotel is in a good location in a fantastic city. The young lady that checked us into the hotel was very pleasant. That is where the good points end. This hotel is not a top-tier Starwood property that the category would indicate. The room that we stayed in was terrible. The paint on the walls was peeling or had already peeled off in some cases. The carpet was old and stained. The lighting in the room was terrible, making us feel as though we were staying in a dungeon. This situation wasn't helped by the fact that the view was of the side a building next door, including construction materials. As for the bathroom, the showerhead was broken and sprayed water all over the bathroom. This could have been avoided had the shower curtain actually been large enough to keep the water in the shower. In addition, the same piece of trash remained under the end of the television stand all week without housekeeping noticing and picking up. Although we have been an SPG gold member for years, the hotel staff refused to put us in a different room despite three requests. The staff claimed there were no other rooms available, which contradicted SPG's website indicating that there were various types of rooms available for the entire length of our stay. The old and dark theme continued throughout the hotel. The hallways were outdated and depressing. The restaurant which served breakfast was likewise old and dark. In summary, if you are looking for a hotel that may have been nice 25 years ago, but is now outdated, not well-maintained and generally depressing, then this is one for you. Otherwise, I would recommend staying elsewhere. I have stayed in at least 15-20 different Starwood and other brand hotels across Europe and this one was by far the worst experience I have had in any of them. October 5, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Expectans Make a grand entrance! Back again for only a couple of nights. Cocktails in the Palm Court a must. Menu choices are better and reasonably priced in Citrus. Breakfast has slipped a notch - dishes not refilled, cold items. Still love the place. Bathroom has natural light - rare these days. October 3, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by Pappy9 Needs improvement I was put in a smoking room - yuk. Obviously not redecorated since the 90s. Food seemed over priced and I had to call to order tea and coffee for the room (although it was free). Bed was nice and big. When I arrived to the room the tv was on - enormous waste of money and electricity. Smellies could do with being from a better brand. Location is obviously great and the communal areas downstairs seemed very nice. All of the staff were lovely. However the room let it down. October 1, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Kapoos Generally satisfactory This is a nice Olde Worlde hotel in a central convenient location. Good points were the staff are excellent, the bed was extremely comfortable and the room a reasonable size. Minus points, no tea making facilities in the room and an unbelievable £15.00 for a tea tray in the morning. Either supply tea making facilities or make it a reasonable price if it has to be ordered through room service. The bathroom was tired and we did not have a full size bath which was a huge letdown. September 30, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by WayneAndSusan Unbeatable location We got a renovated room facing Green Park on the top floor of the hotel. The view was magnificent -- Buckingham Palace, Westminster Abbey, Parliament, the London Eye. The building is not new. The floors in the hallway creak, the rooms are not spacious, the elevator has a personality of its own... but we knew that going in and couldn't have been more pleased. We walked all over and took the Tube to places more remote. As long as you have the right mindset, this is an excellent choice of places to stay. September 27, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Ggypsy Smiling front desk improves thesis great hotel I have been staying at the Park Lane for nearly 20 years, it is a beautiful property with great idiosyncratic period style that distinguishes it from run-of-the-mill formula-designed central London hotels. This weekend I also felt a new friendlier style and welcome at the front desk, which had become a bit tired and sometimes surly - this time the "you belong" motto worked and my family and I were all impressed. The hotel is about to start renovations - staff tell me they are excited and very focussed on keeping the style while adding modern facilities. Fingers crossed that it works. September 23, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by Sack Great Location, lousy hotel room Platinum Member. Totally surprised and disappointed. Got a 1st Floor room with a View of a chimney. Under-powered portable AC didn't work in the room. When it did work, water from unit would stop itself after 2 hours and would require engineers to lift the unit to drain it. The first time I called the Front Desk, the guy was like "the engineer will be there at some point " and hung up on me. I called him again after an hour and asked to be moved to another room. He said "Unfortunately No" and hung up on me. Old furniture (dresser drawer didn't work) and stained carpet. Limited # of outlets. Closet hangers needed to be put at an angle to get them into the Rod. Internet was spotty. Barely a full body shower in the tub. Segmented Shower curtain rod wouldn't allow curtain to fully close. Shower fixture produced skin melting hot water temperature at high pressure or warm with low pressure. Overall, pretty good front desk. Concierge, maid, and bell were great. Terrific location. As stated above, the room was not consistent with the overall excellent SPG experience abroad. September 21, 2014

And the big question is...so what? You're the only one who seems to be bothered by it.
But back on topic, it looks like Nancy is coming down off her high and is coming to her senses. Seems she is now willing to listen to the people and bring this to a vote. Perhaps America will become more self sufficient by using our own natural resources instead of someone elses. I did have to laugh though. Her claim was she was trying to "save the planet". Somebody needs to explain to her that the planet includes the entire globe, not just he USA. What is the difference if the oil is drilled in Canada, Mexico, Venezuela, the Middle East, Alaska, or off shore?
Where does it say that firearms may only be owned for sport?
Back on subject,this morning,Nancy was quoted on Fox about how she'd support debating drilling if it included a broad range of topics.
Most likely she wants to insure that spills are harshly punished and those that spill or harm the environment are slammed as well.
Maybe she needs to go out on a drill rig and try to explain to the people working there how to do their jobs.I wonder how that would be received:as help or an insult?
If she thinks that drill crews don't know how to do their jobs without tearing up the planet,maybe she shouldn't run for re-election but instead open a school where she can teach oil companies how they should be accomplishing their mission statement.
50 cal M2 HB. Now you're using the term "sporting value" which is similar, but not the same as "sporting purpose". Either way, your statement will be debunked in two ways: In legal terms and on principal.
First, the "Sporting Purpose" clause is a near absolute power granted to the Attorney General to authorize the importation of rifles and shotguns into the United States only if it is recognized as suitable for sporting purposes. This clause only applies to importation; domestic production is excluded from it. As a requirement of the government contracts regulating their production, all M2s used by Uncle Sam were produced domestically, thus they cannot be imported, thus each one is excluded from the Attorney Generals authority granted under this law. The details of this can be found in 18 U.S.C. section 925 (d) (3).
Secondly, this sporting purpose clause can only be applied to rifles and shotguns. It cannot be applied to pistols, revolvers, or machine guns. By definition, a M2 is a machine gun; therefore it is excluded (again) from the requirements of the sporting purpose clause.
Finally, Ill address your hair splitting definition of a firearm that has no sporting value. You wrote no sporting value, which is clearly synonymous with zero sporting value. If I find just one sport where a 50 cal M2 HB can be used, then a M2 would have some sporting value, thus making your statement false.
I refer you to the Classes Of Competition found on page 5 of the Official Match Rules and By Laws of the Fifty Caliber Shooters Association, Inc, an organization dedicated to advancing the sporting uses of the .50 BMG cartridge. They have 16 shooting competitions scheduled for 2008.
Paragraph 3 details the requirements for any firearm used in the Unlimited Class which reads: Any barreled receiver that fires a bullet with a diameter of .510/.511 inches. Though its called a 50, the actual diameter of a 50 BMGs projectile is .510 to .511. Clearly, an M2 machine gun falls into this broad category. And in the used firearm market there are several M2s that are available for private ownership and are presently for sale. That means we can buy an M2, and use it for sport shooting at FCSA shooting matches, thus an M2 HB has some sporting value, and it would have a sporting purpose.
Your Sporting Purpose/Value misconception has been busted. Look on the bright side: At least you didn't deny being the first person to hijack the thread.
These forums take off-topic directions all the time. And for most of us that have been here for years it is one of the things that keeps it interesting for us. Don't like it? Tough.Quote:
I've not asked anyone to keep quite, only to take the discussion to the appropriate forum.
Shouldn't you be spending more time researching how a TurboDRAFT operates, anyway? :rolleyes:
There's no reason to get worked up about a thread going off topic.
29 posts into the thread.
What is important to remember is that the framers of the Constitution had just gone through a revolution to gain their freedom. Key to the overthrow of the tyrannical government was the ability of the revolutionary forces to have firearms. The framers intended for the populace to have guns of what ever type to protect them from bad government
No need to, Sc was not the one who's panties were all twisted about because the thread had drifted off topic.
I'm just surprised (not really though) to see you would continue to keep this thread off course. After all, there are plenty of gun control threads on these boards.
And you know how it is, no one would want to read the title of this thread and read about gun control, but whatever.
Although I am undoubtedly the most intelligent person most of you will ever encounter, when I have limited knowledge of a subject, I admit it. I have limited knowledge of the subject of offshore drilling. But I can't seem to remember a major oil spill that occurred from a drilling rig. Anecdotally, I have heard about a major spill in like 1968. But in my adult life, there apparently hasn't been one.
If that is true, wouldn't that make offshore oil drilling incredibly safe and environmentally friendly? There wasn't even a major spill post-Katrina. Of course, that would provide even further proof that Pelosi is a fool.
Secondly, I have an aquaintance who regularly fishes in AK in the area where the Valdez oil spill occurred. He reports that the area is cleaner, more beautiful and has an abundant array of fish since the oil spill. There is no evidence of the spill. I am not advocating having an oil spill to spark a makeover, but I think it shows that these horrible incidents don't mean the end of life as we know it.
The Constitution doesn't say anything about an Interstate Highway System and the feds built one.
Founding Father Thomas Jefferson had a very strict view of the responsibilities of government when he wrote the Constitution. Yet during his presidency he funded the Lewis and Clark Expedition. There's no mention of that being a governmental responsibility either.
The feds provide funds to build the highways, but they are controlled and operated (owned if you will) by the states.
Which is a protected right of the states in the tenth amendment.
I wouldn't recommend trying taking that right away either.
There are numerous government activities that are not explicitly written in the Constitution, yet they are in fact a legal or legitimate act of the Feds.
When I hear critics of the Feds rationalize the Federalist Papers as the basis of the government and its considered excess I use the Jefferson example to explain even some of those Founding Fathers didn't adhere to those tenets in their totality.
Adhering to those tenets entirely and abrogating the rights affirmed to individuals by certain amendments (note I did not write 'grant') are not exactly the same.
Seems pretty clear to me. The people have a right to bear arms.
A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the People to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.
I love how people who want to curb my own Constitutionally guaranteed rights will never give one inch on their own rights.
This is not necesarily directed at SC, just an observation I have made.
Just remember, the Constitution tells the PEOPLE what the government CANNOT do.
As for the interstate highway system, it was built with 3 major purposes in mind - which are largely forgotten or.....conveniently ignores.
1) Transportation of goods for interstate commerce
2) Evacuation of major cities in time of war - which I extend to disaster
3) Movement of military assets to more easily provide for national defense.
Me being able to drive from Boston to Seattle on I-90 is certainly not a major purpose.

Curious: if your kitchen has Shaker cabs, do all the other rooms?
I feel like I've received an education in Shaker cabinets here, over the last few months. I always bookmarked white kitchens, but didn't realize that 99.9% of them were Shaker cabinets! So I'm curious... If your kitchen has Shaker cabinets, does the rest of your house? Baths, built-ins, etc.? What got me thinking about this is the "Something's Gotta' Give House" - it has Shaker kitchen cabinets, but the built-ins in the dining room are not Shaker. Just curious how you make it all "blend"... Mind-blowing, this building a kitchen from ground up! ;)
Nope. Our cabinetry is all over the place. We're just about to install modified Shaker cabinetry in the kitchen. The downstairs bathroom has the same raised panel cabinetry that we're removing from the kitchen and we'll leave that. Upstairs, where we built a new (previously non-existing) bathroom a couple years ago we did a slab stained door. Our contractor and the cabinet maker on that job fought us on it (I will never understand that, by the way, why in the world would they care what is in our house), saying it didn't relate to what else is going on in the house, but to us, it made perfect sense. We have kind of a coastal cottage with nautical accents vibe going on. I tend to prefer slightly more modern bathrooms and kitchens because I think it's a cleaner look and those are two spaces where I appreciate clean and uncluttered, and by bringing what I consider to be modern nautical, I think it all works. And despite the concerns of the contractor and cabinet maker, we've never had someone walk into it and say they thought it looked out of place.
It's a really small bathroom so I have to show two pictures for you to get a feel for it:
We have white shaker cabinets in our kitchen but although our bathroom cabinets are also shaker style they are in natural maple. Counter tops are different between kitchen and bathroom as well which to me makes sense. However none of our buffets or other furniture storage is shaker style.
Our kitchen is stained medium cherry shaker. Our attached dining set is not but a dark cherry color. Tv console thing is cherry modified shaker. Upstairs we have cherry THomasville furniture. I don't think its shaker but straight lines. DS#1 has great grandma's mahogany set that he has just about shot to death. And DS#2 has cherry color set, not sure why, he's denting and scratching it up.
Meanwhile, everything shows dust. Why did I do that?? But our style is straight lines and more of a modern feel.
We have natural cherry Shaker kitchen cabinets. I wanted clean and simple. I'm planning the bathroom remodel now, and I want to use a little fancier door style. I prefer a recessed door panel, and I'll use either a darker stained wood or paint. Small house, so we're trying to have a little consistency in the permanent cabinetry.
We just bought this place and it was built in 1926. Kitchen cabinets seem to be original and have mostly shaker doors with slab front drawers (which is common with shaker doors) and slab doors on the sink cabinet. The hall bath vanity appears to be a 1960s addition and has slab doors. The master bath vanity was obviously replaced for resale and has shaker.
If you can't see the rooms from each other, I don't think they need to match, although I would not be likely to combine super shiny modern slab white doors and shaker cherry doors in the same house, for example. If you can see them at the same time (in a great room type situation, for example) I would want them to relate to each other in some way, but I still wouldn't feel compelled to have them be exactly the same.
Kitchens were utilitarian rooms using utilitarian materials and construction techniques. Cabinets had shaker doors because that was the simplest way to keep a door functional and rigid--no one would waste money on ornamenting cabinetry in a kitchen. Later plywood became more widely available and its quality improved, and kitchen cabinets moved on to slab doors. The same house with Shaker or slab doors in the kitchen would usually have much more finely constructed and decorated doors in the rest of the house. Bathroom vanities were uncommon, so the only other built-in cabinetry would likely have been in the dining or living rooms.
Shaker doors are currently trendy. They give a contemporary feel because they are simple. There is no need to match cabinet door styles throughout a house, but there is always a need to make design choices deliberately. Is the house formal or casual? Is the kitchen seen from the LR or FR in an open concept space? etc.
We used Shaker in the kitchen but didn't use it in the family and that is in two ends of the same room.
Both the kitchen and the family room cabinets are natural cherry - we wanted to use the same material for both rather than introducing another one; partly because we love the look of natural cherry and partly because it would make coordinating other elements of the color scheme easier to coordinate.
We wanted the family room cabinets to say "family room" not "extension of the kitchen" and felt that a different, more sophisticated door style would help do that while having them the same color would make it still harmonious.
So we went with a mitered corner raised panel door on the family room cabinets. We chose one that had simple lines so it isn't super ornate vs. very simple. The drawers are slab as are the shorter drawers in our kitchen.
We also differentiated them by using more of a furniture style handle - walnut knobs that my husband turned - instead of the big bin pulls and door pulls in our kitchen.
Close up of family room door and handle.
The rest of our house (bathrooms, utility room and wet bar) has the original 1970's slab doors and drawers. Someday we may redo some of them and I don't think we will feel to use shaker or the same mitered door style, but we will keep to simple lines as our house architecture is MCM.
My two cents: Don't worry about matching. Go with themes that please you and seem to flow, but don't stress about everything being the same. We intend to do simple recessed panel Shaker cabinets (slab top drawer, panel lower drawers) in our kitchen remodel. We have a 1911 Craftsman with no original cabs in the kitchen (all dark 1970s pecan with orange formica counters), but all the built-ins throughout the rest of the house have the very dark Arts & Crafts wood Shaker-style recessed doors, and slab drawers with tarnished bronze hardware. The slab drawers are rounded more on the edges and corners than the contemporary ones. Not everything in the house is matchy-matchy; the original doors in the less-formal upstairs, kitchen and basement are 5-panel raised panel painted doors, and there are more formal-looking 1-over-3 raised panel doors in the first-floor entry, living room, downstairs bath, parlor and dining room. Built-ins with the Shaker style doors include a linen closet, window seat drawers, drawers in an inglenook bench, and glass bookcase built below the wrap-around of a fireplace mantle. It's a simple, clean look, and luckily it makes it easy for us to choose kitchen cabinets that happen to be one of the cheaper styles now available. That said, we're not going to stress about matching the wood tones or exact proportions in the kitchen -- budget, availability of recycled materials and whimsy will trump historic verisimilitude.
Our house sounds pretty much the same as Mizinformation's--1915 Arts and Crafts house, so the cabinetry throughout the house was already Shaker-style doors with partial overlay slab drawers. (In our area, most houses built in the 1910s-1930s had the same Shaker-style cabinetry throughout; the main difference was that it would be painted with solid doors in the kitchen and bath, while the "public rooms" would have stained wood cabinetry built of nicer woods with glass doors.) We did the same style in the kitchen, except we also used Shaker-style drawer fronts on our frameless cabinetry to mimic the look of inset (and we have one wall of inset, which uses slab inset drawers). We did choose the cabinet style to match the other cabinetry in the house, but I wouldn't have worried about it with a newer house or one that didn't already have some consistency throughout it. I think it can read contemporary or transitional in a house with a blend of finishes and styles.
Similar to what marcolo, Mizinformation, and artemis78 said, my kitchen has white painted Shaker cabinets and the dining room has fancier stained cabinetry with glass doors. The kitchen and dining room are essentially closed to each other. (The original swinging door was removed by a previous owner so there's a standard-sized open doorway between the two rooms, but the doorway is off to the side so you can't see into the kitchen.) As marcolo said, public spaces in this style of house have money spent on decoration; private spaces are very utilitarian. Your house may have a different style, especially if there is less separation between public and private space.

Questions for day care provider??
I'm going back to work 3 days a week in April and will need to have someone take care of Nyomi (she'll be 5 months old when I go back to work). I found a couple of great day care *schools* in the area I live in, but recently was given a wonderful recommendation of a woman who has a large (12 child) family day care in her home. We are going to visit her in her home next Wednesday and she said to bring a list of questions we might have.
I have some questions...what do we need to provide? policy on sick children? days she may be closed (holidays)? ... but would appreciate any advice on other important questions.
Do they hand-feed the bottles (if baby still on bottles) - I didn't want them lying the baby in the crib to drink.
What is the menu, what do they serve when kids are older? (mine adhered strictly to FDA guidelines and kept written logs of what was served)
What is the daily schedule/routine?
Check the place out for safety hazards, like blinds cords, outlets, etc.
What is the diaper routine? Do they use gloves/wash hands when done? Are soiled diapers stored separately from where food is served/bottles prepared?
What is caregiver/child ratio?
What is their status in the state? Are they certified with the state?
Will they give you a written report each day? At 5 months, you should get how many BMs, how many bottles, was baby relatively happy that day, etc.
What is their policy on late pick-up.
Get references and call them. Ask a sampling of questions to the reference (what was your experience with this provider and diapering / feeding / etc)
Good questions!
Don't forget their discipline policy, which will be an issue in the next 5-8 months. I know of some places that spank with the parents ok; and not only is that NOT okay with me, I don't want my son to see adults hitting children. Similarly, I like my in-home provider because of her policy on what the kids can and can't do. There's no hitting, no toy gun/fighting playing, and they can't tell eachother that the other kid can't come to the birthday party, which sounds sort of silly but is a huge thing with kids.
Backup -- if she takes a day off, or goes out for a dr. appt or an errand, does she have some one who come to watch the kids for a while, and what are that person's qualifications?
Payment -- monthly, weekly, and do you pay for her days off?
Educational philosophy. Even though this isn't a daycare, school per se, you shouldn't have kids plunked in front of the tv all day. Ours has a computer with child-learning software, and the preschool kids have "school" every day. They work on letters, numbers, colors. She even involves my 19mo in this.
I'd also add to the diaper routine -- are they changed by need, or on schedule? You don't want your baby sitting around soggy or soiled for an hour waiting for the 2pm change.
Naps -- are they scheduled or on demand? At 5mo, you're probably heading towards a schedule for naps, and they should help you figure out something that works there and at home on weekends.
Can you drop in? I wouldn't take my son somewhere I couldn't show up at any time, whether to pick him up or to visit. Similarly, you should drop in unannounced at least once before you begin, so you can see what's going on when they're not prepared for a visitor.
Spend some time there apart from the interview with your baby. Pay attention to the other kids. Do they seem bored, happy, attended to? I interviewed one in-home person who said all the right things, but the kids were just laying around the floor with nothing to do, and she actually called one of the kids dumb. Make sure you have a chance to observe the interactions between kids, between the children and the caregiver, and let your daughter play for a while and make sure she's comfortable.
Finally, trust your gut!
Find out if she is licensed. And if she is, call your state health department or whoever is in charge of licensing and find out about any complaints or written reports they have on her. Don't forget to do a follow up call with the licensing agency a few months later to make sure things haven't changed.
Wow, you guys are awesome.
I'm making a copy of all the responses to jami_nyomi's questions. My 6 m.o. DS will be going to a childcare provider in the near future, so Mommie can get some "Mommie time" back into her life.
Thanks for the info, ladies!!
Hi Jami!
Here's what I have asked all the daycares we visited. They may not all be applicable in your case.
Do they accept pumped breastmilk and/or formula? (Some places won't allow pumped breastmilk)
How is it stored?
Are cloth diapers allowed?
Do they supply disposables/wipes or do we?
How many bottles do they require each day? (Clean one after each feeding?)
Is there backup in case the leader is sick?
Do you pay for days such holidays, the days the teacher is sick, and days Nyomi won't attend? Or, do you only pay when she is there. (We have to pay for days when DD will not be there, holidays, etc. until vacation credit is earned.)
What is their policy on people picking the child up? (Make sure they are real careful about not just allowing anyone to pick DD up.)
What is the ratio for child to teacher? (I've heard 2:1 is best for infants because the teacher only has 2 arms in the case of a fire, etc. It will be rare to find a place with that low of a ratio though. 1:5 is usually the limit allowed by law.)
Do the children follow a set schedule (eating, napping, etc.) or go at their own pace?
Do they record anything for you (when she naps-for how long, when she eats-how much, etc.)
Since it's a home daycare you might want to ask if it is acceptable to leave Nyomi's stuff there or if you have to take it home nightly (extra clothes, diapers, socks, etc.)
How much notice is required if you need to discontinue service?
Are there pets in the home?
Does anyone smoke in the home?
Is she available on off-days in cases of emergency? (Drop off service)
Will Nyomi have a crib or where will she sleep?
What are the hours?
Any registration fee?
That's all I can think of now. I learn more from first impressions than I do from questions. Look around the place for safety standards (locks, baby gates, stairs, etc.) Does she seem nice and caring, etc?
Good luck to you!
While visiting a day care center with my daughter (I'm the Grandma) we noticed that the day care workers seldom smiled and that the children were not smiling. Everything else was in order...clean, log books, place for pumped breast milk, 1:4 ratio of child to day care helper...lots of fun toys and things to do. No way would we place a baby in a place where there was not tons of smiling and laughter going on.
As a provider here are some of my added suggestions...
*Are they on a funded food program...they require healthy eating and records to prove it.
*Do they allow children to bring thier own toys?.some don't
*Do they require paid vacation?
*Do they smoke...and about pets, are they current on all shots?
*How often do they get to play outdoors?
As far as my state, Kansas, we have strict guidelines to follow. I am a licensed in-home daycare but only have 4 kids, 2 being my own, and 1 part time/drop-in. I like to think of myself as a glorified stay-at-home-Mom :) Here are some of our requirements that you could keep an eye out for or ask about..
*Posted fire, tornado, flood and disaster plans and monthly drills recorded for fire and tornado
*Posted license
*Posted log of all children in care...like the times that they are there
*Posted certificate from the Fire Dept. stating any problems or not
*If they take your child anywhere off the property, they need to have a written permission slip for each time..and ask about car seats
*I post a discipline policy
*All meds need to be in a locked box and logs kept
*Smoke detectors in rooms which children sleep in
*Sleeping materials for nap need to be thick like a comforter or pad.
*Children under the age of 18 months should be in a crib or play pen for naps
*A clean diaper changing area
*Electrical outlets covered
*Ask about time allowed for tv, some people may just use it as a babysitter
*Definately drop in unexpected if okay
*Ask your child, if able, about their day
*Ask everyone you can about the provider, call the state for information and your local SRS office, you can never know too much about the person you are allowing to help raise your child
*Something that I personally think is important.. is the home clean? Not toys scattered as much, but ask to use the restroom and really see if it's clean when walking around
*Another thing to ask is how often they sanatize toys
*When you do choose a provider, in-home or a group, treat them well. Don't treat them like you know it all, some providers spend more time with the children than their own parents do..listen to them. Treat them like a friend and they will be more likely to love your child like thier own and respect you much more.
Good Luck

nice skirt I'm 5'9", 135lbs. This skirt is light & airy, I love the fit! I wear short exercise shorts underneath, just in case. March 20, 2013
Very cute but.... I love the fit and the color of this skirt (I got it in the mint). However, expect that in any light, you are going to be able to completely see through the skirt. It doesnt leave much to the imagination. I probably will keep it because I love it other than this, but beware it is very thin! February 21, 2013
Not what I expected I ordered online and this just didn't seem as nice as it did in the picture. The material is kind of thin and unforgiving and seems to be of poor quality. It's also a little short. I returned it. February 17, 2013
A bit too see through for my taste. It looks cute but I felt that the material weren't high quality enough and that it was a bit see-through in some lighting. February 16, 2013
this skirt is so pretty and cute! its just the right length and the mint color is perfect for the spring January 28, 2013

Auld Enemies lock horns again
ESPNscrum Staff
September 27, 2011
Rob Andrew and Richard Hill celebrate victory over Scotland © Getty Images
England and Scotland have met in 128 international matches - and yet the Auld Enemies have clashed at the Rugby World Cup just once.
The two rivals meet every year in the Six Nations championships but will play each other for the first time in 20 years at the global showpiece on Saturday. Their only Rugby World Cup meeting came at Murrayfield in 1991.
In an intensely physical and fraught match fullbacks Gavin Hasting and Jonathan Webb both landed two penalties before England fly-half Rob Andrew kicked the decisive drop goal to claim a 9-6 victory and progress to the final, where they lost to Australia at Twickenham. The game was perhaps best remembered for an awful sliced penalty attempt from the otherwise reliably accurate Hastings.
The overall record between the sides sees England boasting 62 victories compared to Scotland's 48 with 18 draws since their first meeting in Edinburgh in 1871 when Scotland won by one goal.
Scotland have beaten England just three times since the turn of the millennia and just once in their last five encounters. However shoot-outs have become increasingly close affair in the last two seasons. England edged out Scotland 22-16 at Twickenham in March while Dan Parks secured a 15-15 draw at Murrayfield the previous year.
If Scotland are to maintain their run of reaching the quarter final of every World Cup, they must beat England by eight points or more. However they have not achieved that feat since Murrayfield in 1986.
England v Scotland
All-time record: Played: 128, England won 68, Scotland won 42. Drawn 18
Biggest winning margin: Eng: 40 (43-3 Twickenham 2001), Sco: 27 (33-6 Myrrayfield 1986)
Highest score: Eng: 43 (43-3 Twickenham 2001) (43-22 Twickenham 2005); Sco: 33 (33-6 Myrrayfield 1986)
Most tries: Eng: 7 (43-22 Twickenham 2005); Sco: 6 (28-19 Murrayfield 1931)
Most points (individual): Eng: 105 Jonny Wilkinson; Sco: 78 Chris Paterson
Most tries (individual): Eng: 6 Jason Robinson and Cyril Lowe; Sco: 9 Ian Smith
Previous World Cup meetings: One (Sco 6-9 Eng, Murrayfield, 1991)

- The price of Bitcoin has plummeted 11.2% to $484.35 after one of its leading exchanges, Mt Gox, appeared to have disappeared amid speculation of a massive security breach and that it's about to go bankrupt.
- Mt Gox's Web site was blank this morning and all its tweets have been deleted. Since the start of this month, customers had been unable to withdraw their bitcoins. On Sunday, CEO Mark Karpeles resigned from the board of the Bitcoin Foundation.
- One rumor, based on a leaked document, is that 744,400 bitcoins worth $350M have been stolen from Mt Gox, or 6% of all bitcoins in existence.
- Six other major bitcoin exchanges and businesses have said they'll work together to reassure customers about the security of their funds.
- Meanwhile, security firm Trustwave yesterday said hundreds of thousands of computers have been infected with a virus called "Pony" that allows thieves to steal digital currencies such as bitcoins.

Bitcoin plunges as major exchange goes dark
From other sites
Comments (16)
Govt doesn't need to hack the sites, they have enough guys doing it trying to get all of the bitcoins...so what happens when the value goes down to $1.00 a bitcoin? You think anyone will bother trying "mine" anymore? Wasn't it around $1,200 for just one coin? Kind of crazy how many sites have issues with keeping coins safe...stick to physical materials =) just IMO
And miners are essential to the bitcoin. The "complex calculations" that miners perform is the encrypted transactions for each bitcoin. When a miner solves the transaction, it is passed around and if the majority of miners agree with the solution, the passed around public record is updated.
Well, if you stored your gold and silver at a bank which didn't realize
1. they had Mr Spaulding digging under the storage vault
2. didn't realize scammers could take out gold and then make up paperwork that it was not gone
3. just had a crooked bank keeping the gold to themselves
Why? Money in the form of dollars works. Let me see. I keep my dollars in an FDIC insured bank account. I can transact electronically using my credit card.
The entire Bitcoin soap opera becomes more comedic by the day. Murky exchanges, unknown and unknowable algorithms, myriad viruses, no government backing or guarantees, wildly-fluctuating values, outright fraud, etc. And, people want to place their money in this fantasy because it's "safer" than the dollar?

Perhaps the most difficult issue in discussing the idea of Zion is defining exactly what we mean. Even though D&C Gospel Doctrine lesson #46 is titled "Zion—The Pure in Heart," its first section is titled "The word Zion has several meanings" and lists no less than six. Of these, I've seen evidence in Mormon poetry for two or three definitions. First, the early Mormon poets used Zion in a millennial sense, to mean "The New Jerusalem." They also used ion to mean "The dwelling place of those who are exalted," or perhaps even simply "Those who are exalted." And,... Read more »

On Friday the 23rd I bottled my first home brew in 14 years. It has been 4 days and I am having a hard time waiting to sample the beer. I want to wait a week but am going crazy to taste one.
I think I have about some 50+ batches under my belt and have tasted many green beers, but the hiatus has been too LONG!
What can I do to calm myself and make it until Friday without opening a bottle?
Oh the suspense!
buy a good craft beer, peel off the label and pretend that its yours. do this while brewing another batch, and bask in the the delusion.
Brilliant idea! My wife may just have me condemned.
I always crack one open green. Mostly because i have the patience of a 2year old, but also i real do like tasting how much a beer changes while it matures.
If you cant wait, then dont! its your beer, enjoy it!
That's right. It's yours. Share it with your tastebuds today!
Go buy 2 cases of really good beer.
I fully support the "brew another batch" method of staving off the desire...too bad my bank account doesn't....
I did brew another batch and that has helped my keep my patience until now. I even started my yeast farm going. I only have to do my slants and I will be in full production (summer mode).
I have them at 66 degrees now. I am going to chill one down to 50 tonight and pop the top!
Get a 6er of Sierra Nevada and brew another batch.
Then get into your beer tomorrow.
You know what's really calming is a good beer with some good food.
Last time I got antsy I bought myself some Pilsner and a big plate of my favorite sushi. That, ma friend, is a relaxing meal.

Best of the Web: February 4, 2011
Al Jazeera finds a home; The Hottest New Technologies Of 2011; What women really want on Valentine's Day; Five emotions invented by the internet; The Youth Unemployment Bomb.
February 4, 2011 12:02 by Rasha Reslan
Al Jazeera English Finds an Audience
Al Jazeera may be well loved here in the Emirates, and in the entire Arab world for that matter, but when it comes to the US, it has a contentious track record. During the Iraq war the channel came under severe criticism from the Bush administration and even to date is only broadcast in a handful of cities including Washington D.C., Burlington, Vt. and Toledo, Ohio. But with the channel's 24 hour thorough coverage of the ongoing crisis in Egypt, it may have gotten a reputation makeover. Its online-live streaming got it 1.6 million views in the United States and ABC's "This Week" Sam Donaldson apparently looked at an Al Jazeera reporter and said, "Thank you for what you're doing." So is this a turning point for the Arabic-English channel? Read this article to find out what the New York Times thinks.
The Youth Unemployment Bomb
Speaking of Egypt, how did it all begin? Tunisia. And how did that begin? Youth Unemployment. And what does Bloomberg have to say about youth unemployment? "The world is aging. In many countries the young are being crushed by a gerontocracy of older workers who appear determined to cling to the better jobs as long as possible and then, when they do retire, demand impossibly rich private and public pensions that the younger generation will be forced to shoulder." As a relatively young web site, Kipp is upset.
Five emotions invented by the internet
Do you know how you feel as you wait for the person you are instant messaging to reply to what could be construed as a hurtful comment but was genuinely heartfelt? A mix between anxiety and frustration—as you tell yourself the person on the other side has left the table at the moment. Well, it only makes sense that the advent of the internet should have consequently resulted in the advent in a whole range of feelings; but Leigh Alexander was probably one of the first to list them out. Make sure to click through to the link from this Telegraph article to get the entire list.
What women really want on Valentine's Day
V-day? More like D-day. Time for you to bring out the big guns and show the Missus just how much you've been paying attention to what she's been saying and just how sensitive you are. But what if you haven't been paying attention to what she's been saying and have the sensitivity of a big chunk of stone? In that case, this might just be the ultimate cheat-sheet for V-day slackers. But get a move on; you have just little over a week to catch up with her expectations.
The Hottest New Technologies Of 2011
Why does Motorola say it has the most powerful new smartphone this year? Apparently the Atrix 4G has the first dual core processor phone from AT&T. The Android phone has HTML5 support, two 1 GHz processors, 1 GB of RAM. Atrix 4G can also view HD video and show any e-mail attachment. When you dock the phone it turns into a small laptop. Intrigued? Check out this list of the up and coming hot pieces of technology this year.

Thanks for the five emotions, Kipp.
Only problem is that the link you have shown goes to an article that lists only one… and the link from that to the remaining four is blocked by a cute little Freej character saying that this site has been barred by the UAE's Surf Safely campaign.
So maybe we have a sixth emotion at that point…

If you Christians acted more like your Christ, the world would be a better place.
Mist Forms
by Carl Sandburg
THE SHEETS of night mist travel a long valley.
I know why you came at sundown in a scarf mist.
What was it we touched asking nothing and asking all?
How many times can death come and pay back what we saw?
In the oath of the sod, the lips that swore,
In the oath of night mist, nothing and all,
A riddle is here no man tells, no woman.

Twin Virtues
Ultimately, the most successful societies find the balance between the twin virtues of inequality of outcomes and equality of opportunity.
The new politics must marry the twin virtues of unequal outcomes and equality of opportunity.
When too few get too much everybody loses.
Feminism is about women living their lives on their own terms, marshaling the resources of the society to make that possible, and men embracing this as vital to a successful society and their own liberation.
Can it be that striving for equality of opportunity however imperfect the process not only benefits the individual but also creates benefits for the society that are unintended but wonderful?
Economics must be a 'moral enterprise' as much as politics claims to be. Economic outcomes need to be framed in terms of right and wrong not just efficiency if only because these often align in surprising ways that are good for society and the economy.
My vision of Canada is that any Canadian child from a family of limited circumstance can expect to have a chance at lifetime of unlimited opportunities.
Tax policy should be founded on the principle of generating steady tax revenues sufficient to maximise environmentally sustainable economic growth in order to fund fair government.
Public policy should be designed to decrease inequality before the law and increase equality of opportunity.
Capitalism is not the problem; the problem is what we do with capitalism.
Content is always more difficult to argue than conspiracy.
Let the state regulate and the market operate (most things).
Welfare strategies are best designed as a hand up, not as a hand out.
Political debate should not be fact free fighting.
Explanation lasts longer than eloquence.
Always favour empowerment over dependency.
The most enduring public figures are embraced for the causes they fought for and not the concept of themselves they hoped others would remember them by.
Find your voice and don't be the echo of somebody else.
It is possible to operate on two different levels: the practical, cautious and conservative; and the realm of ideas, open, free, and radical.

WASHINGTON — The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office has canceled the federal trademarks for the NFL's Washington Redskins because they disparage Native Americans, the agency said on Wednesday.
The decision by a Patent Office administrative tribunal followed years of criticism of the Washington club by Native Americans and others who say the name is a slur.
Five Native Americans had petitioned to overturn six Redskins trademarks, and evidence showed that "Redskins" was disparaging of Native Americans, the Patent Office said in a statement.
"Thus, the federal registrations for the 'Redskins' trademarks involved in this proceeding must be canceled," the agency said.
The decision can be reviewed by a federal court. The ruling does not mean that the trademarks can no longer be used by the NFL club, only that they are no longer registered, the statement said.
Redskins owner Daniel Snyder has defied calls for 14 years to change the club's name and logo, which dates from the 1930s. The franchise has come under increasing fire over the name.
Half the U.S. Senate, all of them Democrats, last month urged the NFL to endorse a name change for the franchise. Senator Maria Cantwell, a Washington Democrat whose name led the letter, called the ruling a "landmark decision."
"I hope that all the business decisions at the team will be made with the understanding that this is no longer a business case and we will get off of this slur of a name that we need to change," she said on the Senate floor.
President Barack Obama also has weighed in, saying before the ruling that if he owned the team he would consider changing the name.
NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said in January that most football fans and Americans supported the Redskins keeping their name.
The named petitioner in the case, Blackhorse v. Pro Football Inc, is Amanda Blackhorse, a Navajo psychiatric social worker.
In a USA Today profile this year, Blackhorse said she had considered what she might say to Snyder if she ever met him.
"I'd ask him, 'Would you dare call me a redskin, right here, to my face?'" she said. "And I suspect that, no, he would not do that."
