The Show
After premiering in South Africa in 2011, The Nutcracker on Ice is now returning for a 2nd World tour, starting off at The London Palladium in October 2013.
Acclaimed Artistic Director Tony Mercer – the world's leading creator of contemporary theatre-on-ice - has once again teamed with four-time figure skating World Champion and dual Olympic gold medallist Evgeny Platov, and dual World Champion Maxim Staviski to create choreography that further raises the bar, with ever more breathtaking high-speed leaps and throws, and awe-inspiring acrobatics, coupled with the most graceful and sublime ice dancing.
To Tchaikovsky's memorable score, the 26-strong cast of Olympic, World, European and National Championship skaters will astound and mesmerise audiences with their adrenaline-rich, dramatic performance, in the intimate setting of a frozen theatre stage.
Special Effects
Set in early 1900s St Petersburg, The Nutcracker on Ice boasts sumptuous sets by leading Australian scenic designer Eamon D'Arcy in this his fourth Imperial Ice Stars show, opulent and stylish costumes from renowned Russian designer Albina Gabueva who created the sophisticated costuming seen in Cinderella on Ice and Swan Lake on Ice, and magical special effects.
A Classic Tale
This brand new production follows the classic Russian tale of Maria, the little girl whose love brings to life her cherished Nutcracker doll - a magical Christmas gift from her mysterious godfather - leading to adventures with the Mouse King, the enchanted Prince, and the Sugar Plum Fairy.
The story was originally penned nearly two centuries ago, in 1816, by the German author E T A Hoffman, and was later adapted by the French writer Alexandre Dumas in 1847. From this adaptation, the Russian composer Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky and choreographer Lev Ivanov created their ballet, The Nutcracker, which was first performed in St Petersburg in 1892 and has since become a perennial Christmas favourite the world over.
The Imperial Ice Stars' Artistic Director, Tony Mercer, explains:
"The art form of ice dance lends itself beautifully to this well-loved tale. Not only does the story entail some beautiful romantic 'adagios' with lifts and jumps, but the exotic 'divertissments' from Spain, China, Arabia, Russia and Egypt allow us to introduce some gymnastics, flying, acrobatics and special effects."
Act One
It is a cold Christmas Eve in the Russian city of St Petersburg, as the nineteenth century nears its close. In the warm glow of the Romanov family home, the childish laughter of young Alexander and Maria Romanov and their friends is heard, as they excitedly unwrap Christmas presents of colourful toy soldiers, beautiful dolls, and, to the disdain of the adults, noisy drums and trumpets!
What would it be like if the world was covered in ice and we skated around without car troubles or traffic jams? Well, until climate change takes inspiration from Michael Bay, we'll have to leave that question to our imaginations. And nowhere is it more wonderfully imagined than in The Nutcracker On Ice, showing at the Artscape, Cape Town until 12 February, 2012, after playing to sold-out audiences in Joburg last year.
Biz Community
Australians may consider themselves to be good at physical theatre, but the 26-strong Imperial Ice Stars company from Russia excel at performing on ice skates, a theatrical field where Australians are unlikely to ever achieve prominence (Steve Bradbury notwithstanding).
Aussie Theatre
A great Christmas Eve party commences. Handsomely dressed men enjoy a tankard of hot punch, while others proffer their arm to attractively dressed ladies as an invitation to dance the waltz.
However the atmosphere changes when the mysterious figure of Herr Drosselmeyer dramatically enters and starts to perform his famous magic tricks - with alarming results. There is a feeling of unease, as his presence gives off a strange foreboding.
Then to Maria's delight, Drosselmeyer presents her with a Nutcracker Doll. But this is no ordinary doll. Not only can it crack nuts, but its charm and mystique soon has Maria enchanted, almost mesmerised by its very presence.
After the partygoers say their good-byes and travel homewards over moonlit snow, Maria, disturbed from her sleep, hurries downstairs, compelled to check on her beloved Nutcracker Doll.
She trembles with fright as flashes of lightning illuminate the darkened room, followed by hideous claps of thunder. Maria stares in disbelief as the furniture mysteriously grows in size. Just what is happening?
Her fear becomes more intense as giant mice, led by the ruthless Mouse King, surround Maria and prepare to attack. To her relief the toy soldiers spring into life and march to her defence. A terrifying battle commences as mice and soldiers fight back and forth across the drawing room and around the Christmas tree.
Act Two
Surviving the ordeal, Maria's love for the Nutcracker releases him from an evil spell and he is transformed back into a handsome prince. The Prince takes Maria on a long journey to a beautiful snow covered fir forest and the Land of Snowflakes.
They journey onward to his kingdom in the Land of Sweets - a child's paradise where everything you see you can eat, such as delicious Butterscotch Cobbles and Peppermint Twirls.
The Prince introduces Maria to the Sugar Plum Fairy. To celebrate the homecoming of their beloved Prince, the Sugar Plum Fairy organises a 'Grand Celebration of Dancing'.
To Tchaikovsky's magnificent music, the delightful host of the celebration performs her famous Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy, and the grateful Prince performs a solo dance in response.
This commences with Le Chocolat, a group of dancers from Spain, who with skirts swirling and castanets clicking, perform to the rhythms of exciting flamenco music.
The country of China then entertains as a couple wearing exotic silk pyjamas perform the Tea dance. They are followed by Le Café from Arabia who perform a stunning dance in the air.
There is no doubt that December is almost on your doorstep when you get to see a Christmas classic like The Nutcracker. The London Palladium opens its doors for 14 shows only, allowing the Imperial Ice Stars to bring their enchanting new production to UK shores. It also marks the first time nearly 36 years that its stage was transformed into an ice rink. Originally performed as a ballet production, to Tchaikovsky's most famous score, it was interesting to see how this timeless story was transformed and opened to a wider audience by being performed on ice.
So So Gay
Next comes the Dance of Russia with four Cossack dancers performing energetic acrobatic feats. Finally there comes a plea from a couple of surprise guests.
The dancing culminates in the beautiful Waltz of the Flowers, full of swirling colour and graceful movement.
After all their adventures, Maria and her Prince have fallen deeply in love. To everyone's surprise the Mouse King reappears , but is it really him, and were Maria's adventures just a magical Christmas Eve dream – or did they really happen…?
History of The Nutcracker
Nearly two centuries ago, in 1816, the German writer E.T.A Hoffman published a story called The Nutcracker and The Mouse King, telling the tale of how a little girl's love bought to life her cherished Nutcracker, an enchanted Christmas gift from her mysterious godfather. This work was a morbid story, never intended for children, which portrayed a bleak view of humanity and relationships.
The usual ETA Hoffman suspects are all there: the dreamy adolescent girl, her fantasy prince, the eerie Herr Drosselmeyer and the living Nutcracker doll.
Only this time the characters, born out of Tchaikovsky's music for the Russian classic, whirl around on ice.
IN A touring production of The Nutcracker On Ice performed by a troupe with 250 Olympic and championships medals among them, what is the one thing that's missing? Keith Chegwin of course.
The Express
In 1847, the French writer Alexandre Dumas published a retelling of Hoffman's story, lifting the mood of its somewhat dark and disturbing predecessor into a story for children.
In 1891 the legendary choreographer Marius Petipa of the Russian Imperial Ballet, commissioned composer Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky to write the score for a new ballet based on this adaptation of the Nutcracker story.
Tchaikovsky struggled to write the piece, possibly due to the strict parameters imposed upon him by Petipa, who gave him highly detailed instructions, including the types of music, rhythm, tempo, and number of measures for each dance. Tchaikovsky left for the USA with the work unfinished, but later returned to France and continued with the score, finally completing it in Russia under a cloud of scandal regarding his alleged homosexuality.
In order to save time, Tchaikovsky drew from some of his earlier compositions, for example, some sections of the snow scene resemble parts of his Fourth Symphony. Likewise, the battle with the mice contains many similarities to his famous 1812 Overture.
Tchaikovsky liked trying new things as well. While in Paris he learned about a new instrument called the celesta. With its bell-like tone, the new celesta was ideal for the Sugar Plum Fairy, who was to be represented, according to Petipa, 'with the sound of falling drips of water, as from a fountain.' So upon returning to Russia Tchaikovsky ordered one, and wrote 'have you sent directly to St Petersburg... but no one there must know about it. I am afraid others might hear of it and make use of the effect before I could. I expect the instrument will make a tremendous sensation.'
The Imperial Ice Stars have brought to the ice rink some of the most entertaining plays and are now bringing more delight with their adaptation of The Nutcracker. Following the success of their version of the Swan Lake, The Imperial Ice Stars are ready to dazzle audiences once more with their unique show. The troupe has performed to almost four million people across five continents and have toured in Australia, New Zealand, Hong Kong, Japan, Germany in the Middle East and many more. Friday night they played the Palladium in London and we were there to find out what the fuss was all about.
The company of mainly Russian championship skaters known as the Imperial Ice Stars are getting the jump on the Christmas season with this, their fourth frozenfloored adaptation of a ballet warhorse. Previous productions of The Sleeping Beauty, Swan Lake and Cinderella on ice have all been of a high standard. Their latest offering is a smooth, brightly designed and undemanding (except, that is, on its 26-strong cast) pleasure.
The Times (UK)
In the spring of 1892 Tchaikovsky premiered The Nutcracker Ballet Suite, a concert version of the ballet music in which he shrewdly included the most brilliant and original pieces from his ballet. The audience was so delighted by the piece that it cheered from almost start to finish, and at least six times demanded immediate encores of specific music selections.
Before The Nutcracker ballet was completed Petipa withdrew as choreographer because of illness and was replaced by Leve Ivanov, who is now generally credited with the choreography.
The Nutcracker ballet premiered in St Petersburg in December 1892. As popular as this ballet is today, it is difficult to imagine that this first production was not a success. The audience gave the new work a lukewarm reception, claiming the story was weak and the score was disjointed, with its lush orchestration too overpowering for the dancing. Many had difficulty in reconciling the Act I narrative with the Act ll divertissement. Critics slated it both musically and choreographically and The Nutcracker closed after only 14 performances.
However, the enchanting and magical story of The Nutcracker has endured and remains throughout the world one of the most popular ballets.
Tchaikovsky created three ballet masterpieces, all of which were not only of unequalled scope for their time but which have become modern-day cornerstones of ballet repertoire. The popularity of Swan Lake, The Sleeping Beauty and The Nutcracker are beyond question, even if initial reactions to them were far from laudatory.

Concrete dust problem in basement
Hi Folks,
I am a first time homeowner. I bought a new home about a year ago with unfinished basement. I see a lot of concrete dust in the basement. I had put air hockey table for kids but the concrete dust makes it impossible for anyone to stay in the basement for long. The concrete dust is everywhere - on the hockey table, ping pong table, packed boxes etc.
I have washed the basement floor several times but the dust keeps coming back. What is the best way to get rid of the concrete dust? I hear about three things - sealant, paint, and something called concrete staining. Can anyone provide some suggestions from their own experience? I don't plant to finish the basement in near future -- just use it for re-creational purposes.
Paint it. Contrete dust will be a problem for a long time to come. RustOleum makes a nice epoxy paint for basement floors. You can get it in about thirty colors (it's mixed at the paint counter like any other paint). Goes down easily and looks good.

Executive Summary
In image transmission application over WSN energy efficiency and image quality are both important factor for joint optimization. The large size image transmission cause bottleneck in WSN due to the limited energy resources and network capacity. Since some sensor are in similar viewing directions the images they are capture likely exhibit certain level of correlation among themselves. This optimization scheme allows each image sensor to transmit optimal functions of the overlapped images through appropriate multiple rate oriented routing paths.

Yes you can only see the First Unit...
Hello, thanks for the reply, I am talking about 2 family units, for residential purchase, not an investor. Guess my only point is if the seller wants to sell they should make sure the listing agent has reasonable showing instructions.
Yes you can only see the First Unit...
...but if your client likes it we can set up a second showing to see the 2nd unit. huh? We have to make 2 trips to your listing to see it in it entirety? If there is one hindrance in our business, it is the unbelievably difficult showing instructions that force the buyer agents have to jump through to show the home. Today, I attempted to book 3 homes for a great client, the first call, "oh sorry- the seller rented the unit, i just forgot to take it off the MLS" ....The next call, "well there is a tenet, and I dont want to call them, so have a look at the upstairs unit, and if you like it we can set a second showing to see the 1st unit and basement" I may be wrong, but isn't the basement and the homes mechanics one of the most important parts of the showing?As a Real Estate professional, the one thing I would change is the importance of accurate showing instruction. If the Realtor wants to show a home, the buyer expects to see it, so lets "co-broke" and work together get the home sold, but it starts with the showing.

THE SECOND BEST EXOTIC MARIGOLD HOTEL is the expansionist dream of Sonny (Dev Patel), and it's making more claims on his time than he has available, considering his imminent marriage to the love of his life, Sunaina (Tina Desai). Sonny has his eye on a promising property now that his first venture, The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel for the Elderly and Beautiful, has only a single remaining vacancy – posing a rooming predicament for fresh arrivals Guy (Richard Gere) and Lavinia (Tamsin Greig).
Evelyn and Douglas (Judi Dench and Bill Nighy) have now joined the Jaipur workforce, and are wondering where their regular dates for Chilla pancakes will lead, while Norman and Carol (Ronald Pickup and Diana Hardcastle) are negotiating the tricky waters of an exclusive relationship, as Madge (Celia Imrie) juggles two eligible and very wealthy suitors. Perhaps the only one who may know the answers is newly installed co-manager of the hotel, Muriel (Maggie Smith), the keeper of everyone's secrets. As the demands of a traditional Indian wedding threaten to engulf them all, an unexpected way forward presents itself.

Meanwhile, Cristina Weiss (Olivia Williams) has her work cut out managing the career of their disaffected child-star son, Benjie (Evan Bird), a fresh graduate of rehab at age 13. Yet unbeknownst to them, another member of the Weiss family has arrived in town - mysteriously scarred and tormented Agatha (Mia Wasikowska), just released from a psych ward and ready to start again.
She soon works her way into a friendship with a limo driver (Robert Pattinson) and becomes personal assistant to unraveling actress Havana Segrand (Julianne Moore), who is beset by the ghost of her legendary mother, Clarice (Sarah Gadon).

What the Funk Brothers did for Motown… The Wrecking Crew did, only bigger, for the West Coast Sound. Six years in a row in the 1960s and early 1970s, the Grammy for "Record of the Year" went to Wrecking Crew recordings. And now, THE WRECKING CREW tells the story in pictures and that oh, so glorious sound.
THE WRECKING CREW is a documentary film produced and directed by Denny Tedesco, son of legendary late Wrecking Crew guitarist Tommy Tedesco. The film tells the story of the unsung musicians that provided the backbeat, the bottom and the swinging melody that drove many of the number one hits of the 1960's.

The story of "Cinderella" follows the fortunes of young Ella whose merchant father remarries following the tragic death of her mother. Keen to support her loving father, Ella welcomes her new stepmother Lady Tremaine and her daughters Anastasia and Drizella into the family home. But when Ella's father suddenly and unexpectedly passes away, she finds herself at the mercy of a jealous and cruel new family.
Finally relegated to nothing more than a servant girl covered in ashes, and spitefully renamed Cinderella since she used to work in the cinders, Ella could easily begin to lose hope. Yet, despite the cruelty inflicted upon her, Ella is determined to honor her mother's dying words and to "have courage and be kind." She will not give in to despair nor despise those who abuse her. And then there is the dashing stranger she meets in the woods.
Unaware that he is really a prince, not merely an employee at the palace, Ella finally feels she has met a kindred soul. It appears as if her fortunes may be about to change when the palace sends out an open invitation for all maidens to attend a ball, raising Ella's hopes of once again encountering the charming "Kit." Alas, her stepmother forbids her to attend and callously rips apart her dress. But as in all good fairy tales, help is at hand as a kindly beggar woman steps forward and, armed with a pumpkin and a few mice, changes Cinderella's life forever.

1 hour 34 minutes
Ben Stiller and Naomi Watts are Josh and Cornelia Srebnick, happily married middle-aged members of New York's creative class. They tried to start a family and were unable to — and have decided they're okay with that. But as Josh labors over the umpteenth edit of his cerebral new film, it's plain that he has hit a dry patch and that something is still missing. Enter Jamie (Adam Driver) and Darby (Amanda Seyfried), a free-spirited young couple, who are spontaneous and untethered, ready to drop everything in pursuit of their next passion — retro board games one day, acquiring a pet chicken the next.
For Josh, it's as if a door has opened back to his youth — or a youth he wishes he once had. It's not long before the restless forty-somethings, Josh and Cornelia, throw aside friends their own age — including Beastie Boy Adam Horovitz in a sly supporting role — to trail after these young hipsters who seem so plugged in, so uninhibited, so Brooklyn cool. "Before we met," Josh admits to Jamie, "the only two feelings I had left were wistful and disdainful." But is this new inspiration enough to sustain collaboration and friendship with a couple twenty years their junior?

Struggling with your resolution? Mix it up a bit
We can all admit to recent vows about saving money and losing weight. So to lend a hand, Miami-based Benihana, the Japanese restaurant chain with an international reach, rolled out a promotion of menu last month designed to help us keep our New Year's resolutions.
Benihana's nearly 70 locations served up three "skinny" cocktails — drinks with less than 200 calories — and a Chef Special dinner boat, which could load you up with onion soup, salad, edamame, California roll, hibachi shrimp on a skewer, colossal shrimp and chicken grilled in garlic butter, steamed rice and fresh fruit — all for $16. Because for now, at least, people everywhere are watching what they eat and spend.
"That has always been a tradition with people making New Year's resolutions," said Jeannie Means, vice president of marketing for Benihana.
Ah yes, it's a new year that — for most of us — will bring on the same old promises. We'll download money-management applications, swear off Starbucks and ultimately forget the whole thing in time to buy champagne and eat chocolate. But new research from the University of Maryland suggests that perhaps we can have the wealth — not to mention the weight — we'd truly love, after all.
The trick, this science says, is this: Rather than regulate our consumption, we should work on providing ourselves with the correct number of choices at each stage of our money-saving (or calorie-cutting) journeys. In the beginning, we should try curbing at every turn: brewing our own coffee, socking away slices of our paychecks, bringing —not buying — healthy lunches. Basically, spoil ourselves with variety. Once we're halfway there, though, it's time to train our minds to focus on a single objective.
"When you start out, you're uncertain about the best way to achieve what you want," said Jordan Etkin, a marketing researcher at University of Maryland. "And variety helps reduce that uncertainty because it gives you more options. But once you've made a lot of progress and the uncertainty goes away, the variety can be distracting. That's when you really want to focus."
Etkin isn't just a business researcher; she's also a personal trainer who is fascinated by how our relying on different combinations of products — regardless of how effective each product may actually be — can produce distinct results. To check that effect on our finances, she spoke to more than 1,000 people across the country about their savings goals.
She'd either ask about their progress or manipulate their feelings about how far they'd come with comments such as, "Oh, really? Most people save twice that," or "Wow, you're way ahead of your peer group." Afterward, she'd have them think of a variety of approaches for moving forward.
"I found that for people who felt bad — either by themselves or because I made them feel that way — were more motivated when thinking of all the different approaches. The opposite would happen with the people who felt good about their progress."
The same was true with fitness aspirations. Etkin recruited people outside gyms and had them try a variety of products — protein shakes, bars of many flavors, more sleep — and found that, based on several factors including willingness to pay, those who'd just started were inspired by the options. Those who'd lost, say, eight of the 10 pounds they set as their goal did best when focusing on just exercise.
When it comes time to focus, she said, start by mentally grouping your many options into one category of saving money or cutting calories.
"It's best to change how you think about what you're doing," Etkin said.
It makes sense, said Joseph Ferrari, a professor of psychology at DePaul University and author of "Still Procrastinating? The No-Regrets Guide to Getting It Done." That's because specific goals are easiest to achieve. But we should also remember, Ferrari said, to be realistic and start cutting out the expensive coffee three times a week, not five. We may also want to state our resolutions publicly, say, by posting them on Facebook.
"Hold yourself accountable," he said. "Make them public, small and doable."
Here are some tips to get started from Ellen Siegel, an independent financial adviser in Miami:

"Be mindful," she said. "It's like going on a diet."
Oh yes, diets. When looking for a variety of options, there are countless low-calorie swaps, said Tanya Zuckerbrot, a registered dietitian and author of "The Miracle Carb Diet." Try eating fruit instead of drinking fruit juice. Substitute mustard for mayo, choose only sweet potato fries, and dress your salad with just lemon juice — not fatty Thousand Island dressing.

Travis "Travie" McCoy - Rough Water
Artist: Travis "Travie" McCoy
Producer: Benny Blanco
Album: None (Promo Single)
Avg Rating: 2.5 ( 4 votes )
It's been a hot minute since last we featured Travie McCoy on the solo tip; Billionaire (Remix) hit our front page way back in July of 2010. Three years and change later, the Gym Class Heroes frontman returns to pick up where he left off with a new promo single. Right out the gate, Rough Waters sounds like a crossover hit. Benny Blanco's bouncy pop-rock production backs McCoy as he addresses a girl for whom he'd lay down his life, drawing a (slightly morbid) analogy between their love and the relationship at the center of James Cameron's Titanic. Pop phenom Jason Mraz lends his vocals to the record's radio-ready hook. Is Waters destined to propel Travie back to the top of the charts? Debate away—and, of course, keep it locked for the latest from the Decaydance/Fueled By Ramen signee.

Sojourn/Valparaiso to Buenos Aires/Feb 18, 2013
My wife and I are experienced travelers with limited cruising experience and we had an extraordinary time on this cruise. The facilities, atmosphere, cuisine, and staff were outstanding. We were pleased with the gentle manner in which people are encouraged to mingle. Invitations to hosted dinners are offered as are invitations to join others in the dining room as you enter. Either of these invitations is easily declined if you're not in the mood. The food was excellent, varied, and available in well thought out portions. The staff at all levels are extremely service oriented and a pleasure to deal with. We were surprised to see how many addressed us by name after only a few days. We encountered many people on this cruise who had far more cruising experience than we did and had settled on Seabourn as their line of choice which we could easily understand.
There was only one glitch in the cruise and that dealt with disembarkation in Buenos Aires. Our passports were not stamped as More entering Argentina which caused a problem as we tried to leave and required intervention of the Argentina immigration officials. We have notified Seabourn of this issue and are waiting for a response from them. Less

Rated 3.5 out of 5 by 1805 reviewers.
Rated 3 out of 5 by inukshuk Gold and I got the least desirable room ever I just got notice of reaching SPG gold status and instead of getting my normal room in the Queen tower nor did I get a king size bed. The room was comfortable, but when I asked at the front desk for my usual room type, I was told the hotel was over sold and that I could not get my request accommodated, even with the recent gold status. I stay at this hotel once per month, and recently almost every week or second week for the last two years. I am booked in either through central booking with AMAPCEO or booking on my own. I am thoroughly disappointed in the SPG benefits. What is the benefit of accumulating points if they mean nothing. Sincerely and unsatisfied customer Theresa June 15, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Jimtraveller A 10 out of 10 (June 7-11 Stay) This is the hotel I normally look up first when I choose to stay in downtown Toronto. Wonderful location, and a lot of great amenities in and around the hotel. What was very special for me for this stay was the front desk staff, Brian, I was on a three-day course downtown Toronto, and my hotel reservation was only till Sunday night (checking out Monday). With the extremely busy conference season in June in DT Toronto, all the downtown hotels were completely sold out. I thought that I gave a try on Sunday to see possibility of extension of the stay till Wednesday, A gentleman at Front Desk, Brian, he was very attentative, helpful and patient with me, working with me for almost 20 minutes, and he was able to extend my stay till the day when my course is done, and also with a late check-out. The SPG Gold/Platinum check-in line was very express and helpful for SPG Gold/Platinum members. This stay was perfect in many ways for me, the room service was very fast (within 10 minutes of my calls placing the order), food was great and in good portion. The clue lounge is always spacious and available for seating, with plenty of privacy when sitting down for a snack or a glass of wine. This hotel is like my home away from home in Toronto while I visit there. Very happy and highly recommend! June 14, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by LindaP123 Too Expensive for What Is Offered If a customer is paying $300 a night plus another $50 a day for parking, for a tiny basic room with one double bed and no extras (no pool robe, for example), wifi should be complimentary in rooms. To pay another $15 a night is unreasonable, with the choice of going down to the lobby for one hour of free wifi. The rooms are old and need updating. You LOOK good, Sheraton downtown Toronto, but you're not worth what you charge. And $50 for a late check-out after a 5 nights' stay? Come on. I won't go back. June 13, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by OhioAngela This hotel met my expectations My stay was very comfortable and met my expectations. My only disappointment was there was no mini refrigerator in my room. Your team was wonderful and accomodating. Thank you! June 12, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by 4RealMom Unresponsive Staff When I checked in my room wasn't ready, and then when it finally was, I found an unexpected rollaway bed inside. I asked for it to be removed. It took two days and multiple complaints in person to the front desk because phone calls were never answered. June 12, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by Chrisb07 Worst SPG - At check in, my credit card was rejected and when I called the bank, found out it was your employees mistake - Room was terrible. Noisy fan. No AC, and most of all, the carpet looked like it had not been cleaned in a decade - Hallways are awful - You could not even get the wake-up call right. Asked for 7:30 and you rang me at 7:00. This after moving rooms late the night before is not acceptable June 10, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by Cynthia55357 I had major problems with my stay. As I checked out (I was there for two nights on a Trafalgar tour of Canada), I told two employees at the reception desk of my troubles at the Sheraton. 50% of the time I was there my phone was dead. That's why, I found out, that I did not get my 6 a.m. wake-up call that I requested. Therefore, I almost missed my arranged trip to Niagra Falls! Also, 50% of the time I did not get wifi in the room, which is a promise from Trafalgar, that we will always have free wifi in the room. I took my tablet to the reception desk, and he also could not get the Internet!!! He said the server must be down, and he would notify the proper person. However, it was too late for me to enjoy it, because I was checking out. I must say, the breakfast room was a madhouse! I appreciate the fact that the hotel was full, and that means a lot of people! On the bright side, the employees that I dealt with, including in the breakfast room, were fantastic!!!! There was only one, she seemed to be sort of in charge, and takes people to their seats, she was short with me. She was a little plump, and Caucasian. Everyone else could not have been nicer. Thank you for listening. I told reception that I plan to write a letter of my troubles with the Sheraton, and he said he was going to give me a free night. I don't know how to redeem that freebie? June 10, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by Brian7803 This hotel has great location. I understand the Sheraton is going through a lot of improvements but amenities such as air conditioning should not be sacrificed. My associate's a/c was out the whole week (Richmond #750) and the bathtub took a long time to drain. The 7th floor in the Richmond tower smelled damp and moldy. Disinfectant sprays made it worse. My room (Queens #545) was comfortable and the room service was good. Only problem was a toilet that took a long time to fill. Friendly, polite staff. Our conference rooms were adequate but too far from washrooms. June 9, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by Acker1969 Poor Staff Communication I normally travel to Toronto monthly on business, but this a pleasure trip with friends & we wanted to be centrally located with a large room, so we upgraded at the hotel. At the time we were told that our buffet breakfast was included. On Sunday morning my room bill was charged for 4 buffet breakfasts at $35.00 each. Not very happy with the communication of staff on this matter.poor service by staff. My friends were quite upset to have to pay $35.00 each after upgrading the room for $200.00. Allan Acker June 9, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by barnaby11 Very Average The first room we checked into was dirty. The toilet took forever to flush and even though we were told a late checkout would be very possible, that request got rather abruptly shut down when the time came to ask. Hard to believe knowing that rooms go uncleaned for hours/days. June 9, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by PlatinumNot Overly busy? Despite being contacted prior to arrival and requesting a King Bed we were booked into a room with two Queens, got switched to a room with a King in the very end of the top floor and it appears this room is barely ever used. Carpet outside was covered in ceiling tile dirt and dust, no bathrobe etc. Will avoid this hotel in the future. June 9, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by RCat 3 strikes First, vending machine is hallway was broken and was not fixed for 3 days I was there Second, TV in room was not working and took over an hour for someone to come fix it Third, alarm clock in room went off at midnight June 8, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Delish Great stay We stayed at the Sheraton and went to a show at the Ed Mirvish.got a great deal ! The staff were Friendly and the room was clean and very comfortable . Would stay there again. June 8, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by Barbie21 Failed to explain strict policies & room too hot Overall, this is a nice hotel. The only issue within the room was the air temperature, even at the lowest setting it was too warm in the room and I woke up sweating. Also, just before 11pm security visited our room with a noise complaint and explained the policy, the policy was not explained to us at check in as it should have beem. we had a few extra visitors over for cake after we came back from dinner. Security insisted that they wait outside the room until we all left the room and this is standard policy. I would have appreciated that the hotel staff simply provide us with a first notice of complaint as we did not even realize we were being loud (no yelling or music, just celebrating) and they don't consider anyone a guest unless they are registered to the room,-the room is reserved under ONE name which means only one person is deemed a guest by this hotel. Further, secuirty did not come across as pleaseant but rather condescending and on a power trip. I did not feel like a guest of this hotel, I should not be facing any consequences on a first notice, that tells me that anyone making a complaint is a more important guest than me or any other guests staying in the room June 7, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by LSD19 Good hotel but Noisy Great for everything except the noise between floors. June 7, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by picot101 This hotel need a serious renovation Look behind the doors, and you can see hairs on the floor, and it wasn't mind.. The carpet smelling and durty, I keep my shoes on all the time. The towells was use too much, good for the pool. I was very desapoint! June 5, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by SadSally Dated Hotel and Poor Experience I have spent various nights for various reasons over the years at this location. It used to definitely represent a good 4 star hotel and was always an exciting compliment to my trip. But I would debate otherwise now. I arrived at "prime time" on a Friday evening: the line to check in was fair and moved well, however the hotel did not have record of my confirmation number -apparently it was a matter of IT issues and required a few minutes to reboot. I wouldn't normally mind waiting, IF the front desk concierge was pleasant. She was unprofessional on the phone with the IT person and it was evident that she had had a stressful day dealing with similar issues. Speaking to me I didn't get a welcome or pleasant greeting and more importantly no direction to my room or hotel services; this was a problem because we then spent 20 minutes getting to our room (first wrong elevator, then wrong tower). The room itself was clean and basic; it did not feel like a 4 star hotel room; no refrigerator and dated interior. I favour the location of the hotel as it is close to shopping, great restaurants and close to the entertainment and fashion district but I will debate booking here again soon. June 4, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Unforgettable Reunited You have a fantastic staff at the Front Desk. Carol Das handled so well started from the room accomodation to surprise and delight . It was a special stay with a special someone I haven't seen for almost 40 years. Lily Dungo was so accomodating and engaging. We'll surely recommend the hotel, because we truly enjoyed our stay in your comfortable hotel where staff were all friendly. June 4, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Alie44 This hotel is centrally located for shopping and theatres The staff was very helpful and I was quickly checked in. Valet parking was prompt and efficient. The hotel was clean and tastefully decorated. It was within walking distance to my appointment destination and would be good if I had gotten to go to a play this time. June 3, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by Udix Soundproofing from other rooms an issue! I had issues with the sound proofing from other rooms 'night activity sounds', and was luckily saved by my Bose noise cancelling headphones. Missed not having a fridge at least and a microwave is always a bonus! June 3, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Zilmo If you want a cold room to sleep in, find another hotel The room was lovely, with a fantastic view of Toronto City Hall, and just a block away from the Performing Arts Centre, where ballet and opera are performed. The hotel is also close to most anywhere in central downtown, within walking distance of the AGO, Chinatown, the Aquarium, etc. The one feature that wasn't great was the fact that I couldn't get the room temperature any lower than 18.5, so I was a bit too warm for a perfect night's sleep. June 2, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by Jess10 Lost reservation Upon arrival the hotel could not find my reservation. This was very frustrating as my flight had been delayed and I was already running late for a meeting. The front desk staff were helpful but the situation is unacceptable. June 2, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Lucioandjojo Great stay at the Sheraton We always stay at the Sheraton when we come to Toronto. Great hotel, with great staff and great location June 2, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Jptheman This hotel is clean We have always taken motels on the outskirts of Toronto with disappointments on so many occasions. We thought we would take one downtown for a change and we were very happy with this decision . I told the worker at the reception that we will return to this hotel again. Keep up the great work that you all do. Thank you, JP and Gisele June 2, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by charliet Very Pleased I want to personally and sincerely thank Jeff the Sheraton Centre Manager for ensuring that my check in and check out experiences were nothing short than impeccable. Thank You Jeff for the personalized touch you put on things. It is much appreciated. June 1, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by Travellinman62 Getting Disappointed Have stayed at the Sheraton Centre Toronto often and have become increasingly disappointed. Realized I had left some shirts in room's closet on last visit; immediately phoned hotel and spoke with someone who identified himself as a night manager. He said he would look into it and get back to me. He never did. When we checked in, we asked not to be beside an elevator or ice machine area. Guess what? Despite assurances from the front desk person, our room was right beside the ice machine room. Pop vending machine on 29th floor ripped me off. It was only $1 but still annoying. Now, our room was nice with a lovely view of the CN Tower, the bed super comfortable, and the shower pressure amazing. But this location is not a cheap place to stay. And the people power seem to be letting us down. June 1, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by Sammie13 No Sleep! I have stayed at the Sheraton a few times now. It has a great location to everything i need to get to when I'm in the city. However this year I have not been happy with the hotel. The last two times I have stay there I got little to no sleep, this is due to drunk and loud guests and the friends they bring in. Now I know this isn't the hotels fault but I find that not much is done about it. One other negative point was the last time I stayed there I was to receive a free continental breakfast, which I had to ask about at the front desk and no one knew anything about it. So I was directed to just go to the restaurant and they should have a list there. Sure enough they did and I got my breakfast, however I was then charged for it on my final bill. Now it was fixed after a phone call, I still was not happy about that or the unexpected amount on my bill. Even though it was fix it did cause me some problems. Overall I have always enjoyed the Sheraton but lately it just hasn't been the same hotel I remember. I hope their ice machines are fixed in the near future. I also seem to end up on the floors with the broken ones. On a happy note I do look forward to seeing the hotel when they have done some updates with the rooms. May 31, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by Stevie51 Location The room failed to represent the best of a Starwood hotel . The AC did not work..fortunately TO temp was cool. The toilet did not flush well and at the shower 6 in. water.. It didn't drain well.However, the hotel is in excellent location to the theatres, shopping restaurants etc. The staff were helpfull. May 31, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by gojays2014 my review Parts of the hotel were under construction which hurt appearances. May 30, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by FrequentTraveller2014 Room temp stops sleep When I'm travelling for work, I'm looking for two things: location and a good nights sleep. My challenge with this property is it consistently has heat control problems. This is my second time where I'm in a room where the heat controls simply don't do anything. Spent the night in 23C/75F and high humidity - all night long! The HVAC in this hotel has definite issues. May 30, 2014

Reports: Marine Helicopters Crash In Southwest
(This post was updated with breaking news at 9:27 a.m. ET.)
Seven U.S. Marines were killed Wednesday night when two helicopters collided over the Yuma, Ariz., Training Range Complex, according to a statement just emailed to the NPR Newscast Desk by a spokesman for the 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing.
The statement adds that:
"The aircraft, an AH-1W 'Cobra' and an UH-1Y 'Huey,' were conducting routine training operations around 8:00 p.m. Identities of the Marines will be withheld until next of kin have been notified."
Our original post:
NBC News appears to have been first to report that "seven Marines were killed when their two helicopters collided Wednesday night near Yuma, Ariz.," according to "defense officials."
There are now similar stories from ABC News and CNN.
But The Associated Press is reporting that "a military official says two Huey military helicopters have crashed in the Chocolate Mountains in southeast California, but it's unclear whether there are casualties."
We'll pass on more information as the story develops.

Advances in Computer Modeling of Ribbon Loudspeakers
Running an integrated mechanical and acoustical Finite-Element (FE) program on a PC platform, the modeling of a ribbon loudspeaker can be studied in terms of both vibrational parameters and the corresponding radiated acoustic field. Consequently a more accurate description of the mechanical and acoustical behaviour can be determined. Details of the FE technique and methods of analysing the output data are presented.
