Rated 4 out of 5 by 355 reviewers.
Rated 3 out of 5 by Grumpy3 need improvement upon checking in found door would not lock when you left the room..staff had to come up and replace lock...there was no info book on hotel and facilities nor a t.v. station list in room..took a while for staff to figure out what I was looking for...On Sunday morning the alarm in adjoining room went off at 6:30 am..was immediately turned off..at 7:10 am our alarm went off and at 7:30 am the other adjoining room alarm went off and it was not occupied so it rang continuously until I called guest services and they sent someone up to turn it off...Sunday morning- three rooms together had what I suspect previously set alarms go off..coincidence? or prank? Maybe the maid service should make sure all alarms are turned off when they clean the rooms..needless to say my sister and I were wide awake a lot earlier than we had planned on our weekend visit in Indy. Also the bar maid down stairs seemed more preoccupied with talking to her coworkers than waiting on her customers..three of us waited a good 7-8 minutes while she hung out over by the kitchen area talking to a coworker December 19, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Ravens10 Fantastic Hotel I was in Indianapolis on business and my wife joined me. We stayed on the 12th floor and got the opportunity to enjoy the club privileges. It was quiet and peaceful. It will not be our last time to stay at the Sheraton. August 5, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by Nancie absolutely awful It was horrible from beginning to end. But your stall did their best. 1. I arrive at midnight the gal at the desk doesn't tell me I have to use my key card to operate the elevator. 2. , my room isn't cleaned.. 4 pm I ask for towels.. 5 pm they come.. don't care about the bed..manager tells me it will be done first thing in the am. They tell the manager the green card was out.. I didn't have one. 3. Next day, bed not done. I call at noon. It gets done about 1. 4. Manager, Ms Carrera is doing her best and another I don't remember her name. But trying That night a Baseball team moves in. next door, lots of pounding noise.. 4 phone calls later and 10 pm they finally get it to stop.. Ms Carrera has sent up a bottle of wine and treats and note. By now we are laughing this is so bad and we have become friends. 5. Every time I call they call Me MR Wiseman., I am female. 6. The only thing good on your menu is the hamburger and the best place to eat is the Starbucks for breakfast. Bar closes at midnight. 7. The convention was good.. 8. All in all.. you see it was pretty bad.. July 21, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by Martineeeeeee Room great, breakfast horrible The room was very clean , very comfortable bed, great staff. Ordered breakfast and the bad experience began. A coffee was £5.50 , the a la carte was cold and most likely taken from the Buffett. Totally overpriced. February 25, 2014

Support Cruiser Retrofit--for sale?

The T5 ambassador is bound, you can't sell it.
T3 (captain Level) ships can "work" at end game stuff, if you are a good player, but it's generally considered a **** move to bring them into ESTFs and other group content. If you really like their models and layouts, the better way is to join a fleet and get the T5+ fleet versions of them. (~20-25 million EC or 2000 zen, sounds like a lot, but if you know the game systems and play daily it's not hard to farm that up in the current environment within two or three weeks).
The free level 40 ships all work for endgame. Science ships are week in general unfortunately at the current balancing, so you might want to consider the other two ship types. Escorts are easier to be good with than cruisers, but if you enjoy cruisers more then stick with them.

Just left Casa Bella Sera and wanted to jump on giving my review of our stay. We will most definitely will be returning. To begin, the house is 5-star with exquisite custom finishes in every room. Very clean, warm and comfortable. We stayed with another couple friend of ours and we made use of the common areas, especially the fireplace in the backyard last night overlooking the Temecula valley.
John and Valerie, owner/host were the nicest people. They whipped up this an incredible breakfast with eggs, pancakes, French toast, sausage, hash potatoes, and fresh fruits. Can't rave enough about it.
The beds were comfortable with extra pillows, yay! Each room had its own French door exit to a sitting area to the side yard. Nice neighborhood, extremely quite. Had a coma sleep for sure.
We have done many B&Bs and this tops as one of our favorite experiences. I don't think we will be looking at any other accommodations for our stays in Temecula. Highly recommend for those with refine taste and want a quiet, relaxing stay with another couple or two.
Thank you John and Valerie, we will see you soon!

From the moment we walked into the hotel lobby we felt very at
home....there was a wonderful smell of fresh lillies and the check-in
was very efficient and courteous. We had forgotten our padlock key to
our suitcase but it wasn't a problem as one of the staff came up
to our room with a pair or bolt cutters! The bed was one of the most
comfortable we have ever slept in- which made it difficult getting up
in the mornings! The room was lovely and had tea/coffee making
facilities as well as a micro - Anonymous

This vintage, male doll is dressed in the finest "suit of lights", gold sequined attire befitting a great torero. He holds his red and yellow capote, or cape, boldly in front of him, teasing the charging toro. It looks like his face is a molded fabric with painted features and his arms and legs are felt covered wire. The felt covered bull has glass eyes and carries the burden of four decorated darts in the back of his neck. There are stitches of red representing blood at the base of these banderillas. This is a finely made set that were probably made in Spain during the 1950's or 60's by Klumpe or Roldan.
He measures about 8 ¼" tall and the bull measures about 9 ¼" from tail tip to horn tip. They are both in very good condition with minimal wear.
The pictures are not shown at actual size. Please refer to the description for actual measurements.

Check out the new, mobile-friendly WineSpectator.com!
Washington wines are getting better with every vintage, in large part thanks to the string of warm, nearly ideal growing seasons the state has had since 2000. The only trouble is, with a few exceptions, the very best wines are made in quantities so small that you might need to hire a private detective to find them.

I'm looking for someone I can go mid with. I'm very good at using Morde, but as you guys know, he has almost no CC or mobility. I want to learn how to use an AP champion with these features so I can widen the variety of champions I will be able to use once I start playing ranked matches. So who do you guys think is my best bet?
If you want both CC and mobility, I would suggest Ahri. She has her Charm which is a nice CC, and her ult provides her with ample mobility. However I do not know of how well other mids play, since I don't play solo mid all that often. So this is the only solid advice I can give you.
Senior Member
ahri i would say but shes only mobile when she has ult up.
Not sure honestly most ap champs are slow and about dmg not cc. If you want dmg and cc and burst i would say annie.
Almost forgot kassadin and Kennen
Cassiopeia and Leblanc are a couple no one has said yet. Cass gains movement speed if she lands a q giving her enough mobility and has great cc with her ult. Leblanc can move quickly and efficiently with her W and has a silence with her Q and her E is a slow followed by a bind. And her ult can be used to double any one of those.
Oh yes, Kennen also has good mobility and CC from what I've seen from my team/friends, but I've never tried him out myself. Morgana has a CC and a disgustingly good teamfight ult, you can't really go wrong with her, but again I've never played her and this just what I've gotten from observing my friends play.
Kennen has a large amount of CC (specifically stun). All of his abilities give a target a Mark of the Storm and if he hits someone with three they're stunned. During a team fight you can even outright stun the entire enemy team (unlikely because they'll focus you when you're running through everyone with your E but you can get their carries then quickly use your ult and your W shutting them down for a good few seconds). Kennen is mostly used for his utility because of these stuns. Bad thing about him is he doesn't have any real damaging spells outside his Q. Which is easy to miss when you're up close (which is why I believe a lot of people smartcast it) after your E or something. Q>W is his main harass which often loses out to AP's that focus on damage like Brand or something.
Ahri has a large amount of mobility (often chosen to gank top or bot after quickly clearing a minion wave) and then going right back to lane. Her main CC is her charm.
Cass is also a good choice. All enemies facing her when she uses her ult is frozen in spot. And she can shoot her W multiple times with almost no CD when used on poisoned enemies ccreating a large amount of burst damage in a short amount of time.
Kassadin has his Silence and his ult which has an absurdly short CD. His ult also stacks so the more times you use it the more damage it does I've often seen them just tell teleport around like 8 times then go and pretty much one shot someone. But he's a melee AP champ.
Lux is another solid choice. She doesn't really have much in the way of built-in mobility, she just has the Death Star in her pocket so she has really wide presence from wherever she is. Add to that a great slow and a snare.
All the mobility you need and more.
And after all, the best CC is death.

unicode possibilities
It would be nice if cl-user would display unicode input for CJK text. With PCL and On Lisp getting new printings in Japan, it might be beneficial to attract more brain-share from that side of the world. Would this be considered out of cl-user.net's scope?

re: unicode possibilities
I have to think about it.
The use of English as the standard language is prefered so that the information is useable by most lispers.
I don't mind some other language content though.

Seminar on 1915 massacre of Armenians to go ahead
A court on Thursday blocked Bogazici University in Istanbul from holding the event, a debate and symposium on the killing of Armenians by Ottoman forces in the eastern part of what is now Turkey. In its ruling, the court called into question the credentials of the scholars taking part.
It was the second time the courts blocked the conference at the request of nationalist groups. The event was canceled in May as well, and at that time Justice Minister Cemil Cicek condemned continued attempts to hold the meeting as "treason" and a "stab in the back of the Turkish nation."
But the conference's organizers said it would go ahead on Saturday, after Bilgi University in Istanbul agreed to be the new host. One of the leaders of the conference, Prof. Halil Berktay, said integrity of scholars was "beyond the judiciary" to decide.
The conference is to be the first time in Turkey that the killings have been publicly examined. More than 50 intellectuals, scholars and writers are to analyze the massacres, which took place from 1915 to 1917 and have been recognized as genocide by several European governments. Turkey has long maintained that the deaths were part of a war in which an equal number of Turks died.

The impact of 9/11 and its aftermath on substance use and psychological functioning: an overview.
Two general types of data have been used to explore the nature and extent of the consequences of the 9/11 tragedy. The first approach utilized retrospective reports either from interviews with randomly selected respondents (1) or from interviews with respondents who either represented groups with some specialized responsibility for addressing the consequences (for example, government officials charged with providing social services) (2) or who represented specific vulnerable populations (for example, drug addicts or children). (3) In each instance, these reports only contained data collected post-9/11 in which respondents were asked to report on their reactions at the time of the attacks or in their aftermath. (4)
The second type of approach looked at data collection systems that had been in place before 9/11 and continued collecting information afterward. (5) Some of this ongoing research data enabled researchers to compare the responses of the same individuals before and after the terrorist attacks. (6) Other studies enabled researchers to compare the responses of different people before and after the terrorist attacks. (7) The Authors' research on the characteristics of clients entering substance abuse treatment facilities pre- and post-9/11 falls into this latter category.
The results of the various retrospective studies suggest both the specific, localized effects, as well as the more widespread, national effects of the events of 9/11. For example, a telephone survey conducted by the Rand Corporation in the days immediately following the attacks found that while ninety percent of the 560 adults interviewed had one or more symptoms of stress to some degree, forty-four percent reported "one or more substantial symptoms." (8) Included among these stress symptoms were sleeplessness, nightmares, an inability to concentrate, and irritability. (9) These researchers also reported that although the effects were widespread, "the people we surveyed who were closest to New York had the highest rate of substantial stress reactions." (10)
Similarly, a telephone survey of Manhattan residents directed by researchers at the New York Academy of Medicine found increased levels of self-reported alcohol, tobacco, and marijuana use. (11) While the increase in marijuana use was relatively small (3.2 percent), larger increases were reported for smoking (9.7 percent), and alcohol use (28.8 percent). (12) Interestingly, symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder were associated with increases in marijuana use and cigarette smoking, while symptoms of depression were associated with increases in the use of each of the three substances. (13)
Retrospective reports by current or former users of heroin and cocaine from a qualitative investigation designed to determine the impact of 9/11 events on this vulnerable population indicated that they also reported serious emotional turmoil, including anger, anxiety, and sadness. (14) In contrast to the increases in substance use observed in the telephone survey, (15) reports of lowered drug use were as commonly observed as reports of increased use among those interviewed by Dr. Weiss and her colleagues. (16) This suggests that the effects of the attacks may have been more varied with regard to individual substance use behavior.
This variability is also highlighted in studies where pre- and post-9/11 retrospective data was available. (17) For example, another qualitative investigation interviewed street-recruited samples of heroin and cocaine users between July and November of 2001. (17) Comparisons of the data taken pre- and post-9/11 in the Bronx and Harlem revealed no differences in the average number of days per month that respondents sniffed cocaine, snorted heroin, or smoked crack or marijuana. (19) Similarly, no differences were observed in the proportions of daily users of drugs in the groups interviewed before and after 9/11. (20)
Another approach to investigating the mental health and substance abuse consequences of the 9/11 terrorist attacks was to compare clients entering substance abuse treatment facilities in the six months before and the six months following these events. (21) This investigation was based on data from the Drug Evaluation Network System ("DENS"), a real-time data collection system designed to assess substance-abusing clients at treatment admission in order to monitor national drug use trends and treatment utilization patterns. (22) The system is currently operating in drug and alcohol treatment programs around the country. (23) This analysis examined data collected in New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, and Miami. (24)
Overall comparisons of alcohol use (frequency of use and frequency of intoxication in the past thirty days) did not reveal any differences between clients entering treatment in the three months before 9/11, and those entering in the three months following 9/ 11. (25) Psychiatric symptoms were also assessed and revealed that clients who entered substance abuse treatment in the three-month period following the events of 9/11 generally reported being less anxious than those who entered before that date. (26) To determine whether increases in alcohol use might be found in New York City because of its proximity to the attacks, comparisons were made within each city of those entering treatment in the three months before and after the attacks. (27) Once again, regardless of the city involved, no differences were observed in alcohol use rates between those entering treatment prior to 9/11 and those entering afterward. (28)
Results from the DENS study presented at the College for the Prevention of Drug Dependence meeting also failed to find significant differences in the clients' overall drug use profiles. (29) Results indicated, however, that among those presented for admission after 9/11, there appeared to be an increased proportion of individuals who had been drug-free for a relatively short time. (30) This suggests that among abstinent drug users, the attacks may have precipitated relapses among those most recently free of drugs. (31) At the same time, overall psychiatric composite scores were lower among those clients entering treatment after 9/11 than those entering before this time. (32) Finally, most counselors at substance abuse treatment facilities who were questioned about the substance use patterns of clients before and after 9/11 reported an increase in alcohol and drug use after September 11. (33) These reports occurred, of course, despite the fact that actual client intake profiles in the DENS system demonstrated little change in the drug use profiles of clients entering the treatment facilities before 9/11 and those entering after 9/ 11. (34)
Research by Dr. Perrine and his associates also found no statistically significant increase in substance use after September 11, 2001. (35) The results of this research are particularly compelling because they are based on responses of the same individuals who reported on their own daily alcohol use as part of a two-year investigation. (36) In this study, 120 respondents who lived approximately 300 miles north of Ground Zero in Vermont reported each day on their mood, stress levels, and the number of alcoholic drinks consumed between May 23, 2001 and December 30, 2001. (37)
Data collected from eighty-six respondents who drank alcohol revealed that anger, stress, and sadness ratings all increased dramatically on September 11. (38) At the same time, "[n]o significant elevation of alcohol consumption was observed on either September 11, or on the days following the attack." (39) Results also revealed that anger ratings remained elevated for females for fourteen days and for males for forty-one days following the attacks, while sadness ratings remained elevated for thirty-seven days for males and for sixty-three days for females. (40)
In preparing this Essay, the DENS data system was used to analyze the composite drug use scores of clients entering substance abuse treatment in New York City, Chicago, and Los Angeles. These three cities were chosen for three reasons. First, they represent the three largest cities in the nation. Second, each represents a distinct geographic area of the country, the Northeast, Midwest, and West. Third, each represents a different distance from the events of 9/11. While New York City was directly and dramatically affected by the attacks, Chicago and Los Angeles, because of their distance from these events, were less directly affected.
In these analyses, the Authors compared the drug and alcohol use and psychological profiles of clients entering treatment in four, three-month time periods: March 11-June 10, 2001 ("Ti"), June 11-September 10, 2001 ("T2"), September 11, 2001-December 10, 2001 ("T3"), and December 11, 2001-March 10, 2002 ("T4"). Drug and alcohol use and levels of psychological disturbance were assessed with composite scores derived from the Addiction Severity Index, the most frequently used admission assessment tool currently in use. (41) Composite scores are derived from client responses to a series of individual items. (42) Scores range from 0, indicating no problems, to 1, indicating the highest problem level. (43)
The first analysis was a regression in which the impacts of city, time period, and their interaction were used to predict individual client drug use scores. The findings revealed a significant interaction between city and time period (b=-.21, t=-4.05, p<.001). To illuminate its meaning, a series of one-way analyses of variance ("ANOVAs") were conducted in which time periods were used to predict drug use scores in each city. Figure 1 presents the pattern of results by city. For New York, the analysis revealed that there was a significant increase in drug use scores between T1 and T3. For Chicago, the analysis revealed a significant reduction in composite drug use scores between T1, T2, T3, and T4. For Los Angeles, results revealed a significant reduction between T1 and T4.
Taken together, these findings suggest that while clients entering substance abuse treatment in New York City in the three-month period following 9/11 appeared with elevated drug use profiles, this was not true of clients entering in Chicago or Los Angeles. Moreover, while there was a general trend in Chicago and Los Angeles for clients entering treatment in the fourth time period, between December 10, 2001 and March 10, 2002, to possess less elevated drug composite profiles, a similar reduction was not observed among clients entering treatment in New York City.
Analyses of the alcohol use composite scores, in contrast, revealed no combined effect (interaction) of city and time period. Instead, independent effects of city and time period were observed. Results indicated that clients entering treatment in New York City possessed higher alcohol composite scores (Mean=.32) than clients entering in Chicago (Mean=.29) or Los Angeles (Mean=.24). The scores of Chicago clients were significantly higher than those of Los Angeles clients. In addition, clients entering treatment during T4 (December 11, 2001 to March 10, 2002) possessed significantly lower scores than clients entering during T2 or T3.
Analyses of psychological disturbance scores revealed no significant interaction of city together with time period, but only an impact of time period. Figure 2 provides a graph of this effect. Subsequent analysis of this effect revealed a general downward trend in psychological disturbance. The only significant difference between time periods in psychological disturbance was observed between T1 and T4.
It should be clear from the above presentation that, with respect to the impact of the 9/11 events on substance abuse and psychological functioning, the findings are far from clear and consistent. Rather it would seem that while studies generally indicate increases in psychological distress following the attacks, their impact on alcohol and drug use was more variable. Of course, it is possible that substance-abusing individuals who were extremely distressed were unable to take upon themselves the emotionally difficult task of seeking substance abuse treatment, producing a potential selection bias in the DENS sample.
Nevertheless, while the results of some studies suggested that the attacks were associated with increases in substance use and psychological disturbance, others suggested little or no impact. This does not indicate that the attacks had little impact, but rather that there were individuals who coped differently with the emotional distress caused by these events. The variability of these findings strongly suggests that people responded in distinct and sometimes idiosyncratic ways. While it might seem self-evident, in light of cultural biases or preconceptions, that individuals would turn to alcohol and drugs to medicate their feelings of distress and discomfort, there are many possible responses. Some may have increased the frequency of their drinking or prescription drug use in the days following the events of 9/11. Others, however, may have stopped drinking, begun attending religious services more regularly, or decided to volunteer to assist others in coping with the aftermath.
Finally, the variability in the findings may also have been due, in part, to the different data collection methods employed, the different time periods during which data were collected, or the different samples from which data were collected. On the one hand, the findings of Dr. Perrine and his colleagues, which indicated no increase in alcohol use post-9/11, were part of a larger, ongoing investigation in which people responded about their alcohol use and emotional states on a daily basis. (44) His data indicated sharp increases in anger and depression, but no change in alcohol consumption. (45) On the other hand, the findings of Dr. Vlahov and Dr. Schuster and their colleagues were based on single time responses to telephone surveys conducted shortly after the attacks. (46) In these surveys, it was probably clear to many respondents that they were being questioned about the impact of 9/11 on their lives. Accordingly, some may have responded in a way that indicated that their lives had been affected and they overestimated changes in their alcohol use. It is possible that the apparent increase in drug use may reflect the respondents' attempts to validate their distress and solidarity with the victims and their families rather than a statement of fact.
The findings of Dr. Kendig and her colleagues provide some support for this position. (47) While counselors in substance abuse treatment facilities found that people who entered treatment after 9/11 were drinking and using drugs more than those who entered treatment before 9/11, the actual client profiles did not generally support this contention. (48) The counselors' perceptions were apparently not based on reality. They may have been based on perceptions that were influenced by the distress they felt during this time and the general belief that people were more likely to drink and consume drugs during this period.
In any event, it is important to understand that crisis produces many responses. Even if humans are cut from the same cloth, that cloth has been tailored to suit different cultural fashions. This appears to have been true in society's responses to what is arguably the most devastating single-day crisis in the history of this nation. Some individuals collapsed momentarily, while others made courageous decisions and responded heroically. Most people just coped in their individual ways. Others, however, experience personal, but often distinctly different, short- and long-term consequences. These unique and varied responses show the individuality as well as the multiplicity of society.

Comments about Womens New Balance 1080 Running Shoe:
I have been running steadily for about five years. During those years I ran in toning shoes, first MBT's and then Runtones. The more I increased mileage, the more pain I had in my IT bands. For the past three months I have done about 30-35 miles a week, but I have been in agony. I decided it might be my shoes, so I went to a local store that analyzes runners' gaits and recommends shoes. They fitted me in New Balance 1080s (yesterday) Today I did a 10.5 mile run just to try them out and all I can say is AMAZING!! My hips and IT bands are not throbbing; I can actually sit down without pain; there is some soreness, but it's going to take a while for the old damage to heal. Today I am on this website to order a second pair because I want to alternate shoes so they don't get smelly (I sweat a lot).

Comments about Womens New Balance 1080 Running Shoe:
Use for training runs. Great for 6 miles, then feels like needs more forefoot cushioning, especially left foot.Feels supportive, not heavy or tight. Feet feel good when finish run. Have already ordered second pair.

Comments about Womens New Balance 1080 Running Shoe:
I have been runnning in this shoe for about 3 weeks and its a decent replacement shoe for the endangered 1064. Man, i miss that shoe. This 1080 is a little snug in the instep and my right foot starts to go numb a couple miles into the run. I am hoping with a little more break-in time it will subside. The toe box is also a little narrower than the 1064.

Comments about Womens New Balance 1080 Running Shoe:
I purchased the New Balance 1064 in 8.5D a few months ago. My Mom is hard to fit, and the 1064 was perfect for her! So, I got back on the website to get another pair and they were gone, replaced by the 1080. The 1080 shoe has a good feel, lightweight (for a cushioned shoe) and flexible without feeling sloppy. I wish it had the same level of arch support and cushioning as the 1064, but it does not. I have only put a few miles on the shoes, but I think I will be happy with them for some time. New Balance continues to make shoes for people like me who need lots of room in the toe box!! Thanks!!

Comments about Womens New Balance 1080 Running Shoe:
I was nervous about this update but I love it! New Balance did a great job. The shoe fits even better and looks much sleeker. Very nicely done! My second time in the shoe was a 10 miler and no problems, issues, or blisters.
