Author Bio
Aristotle was born at Stageira, in the dominion of the kings of Macedonia, in 384 BC. For twenty years he studied at Athens in the Academy of Plato, on whose death in 347 he left, and, some time later, became tutor of the young Alexander the Great. When Alexander succeeded to the throne of Macedonia in 335, Aristotle returned to Athens and established his school and research institute, the Lyceum, to which his great erudition attracted a large number of scholars. After Alexander's death in 323, anti-Macedonian feeling drove Aristotle out of Athens, and he fled to Chalcis in Euboea, where he died in 322. His writings, which were of extraordinary range, profoundly affected the whole course of ancient and medieval philosophy, and they are still eagerly studied and debated by philosophers today. Very many of them have survived and among the most famous are the Ethics and the Politics.

Mark Sanford, former governor of South Carolina, has cleared the first hurdle in his comeback campaign. He will be in a runoff to determine the Republican candidate for a vacant House seat. He got some 37 percent of the primary vote. Which would have seemed an utterly improbable back in 2009, when he delivered a tearful apology for deceiving his wife about an affair and voters about his whereabouts.
In 1997, Chuck Hagel had effusive praise for Strom Thurmond. Here's the video and transcript, via the Washington Free Beacon:
The New York Times has greeted the appointment of South Carolina congressman Tim Scott to succeed fellow Republican Jim DeMint in the Senate with an op-ed decrying the selection--and Scott himself--as "token."
THE WEEKLY STANDARD podcast with Bill Kristol, hosted by Michael Graham:
On a hot mic, reporter David Chalian of Yahoo News said that Ann and Mitt Romney are "happy to have a party with black people drowning." Here's audio:
The comments were made during an ABC/Yahoo livestream, when the reporters believed that microphones were off.
On TV this morning, Chris Matthews accused RNC chairman Reince Priebus and Republicans of playing the race card, causing clear discomfort on the set of MSNBC's Morning Joe:
What to make of Joe Biden's apparent racial demagoguery this week in Danville, Virginia?
Barack Obama's reelection campaign has seized on this blind quotation in today's edition of the British newspaper the Telegraph:
Give the media enough time, and they will spin straw into gold – for Democrats, naturally. And so it has been over the last two weeks since the Obamacare ruling was handed down.
"Senator Santorum is at the desperate end of his campaign," Mitt Romney told CNN's Wolf Blitzer on Tuesday. Oops. For weeks, Team Romney and many of its allies have been eager—one might even say desperate—to end this campaign. The Republican primary electorate has been resisting this, and the voters in Alabama and Mississippi engaged in massive resistance yesterday, giving Romney less than a third of their votes.

Last night the House of Representatives voted overwhelmingly to censure Representative Charlie Rangel (D-NY), 333-79. Only two Republicans (Peter King of New York and Don Young of Alaska) voted against the censure resolution, but Democrats were more evenly divided, with 170 supporting the resolution and 77 opposed. Interestingly, the divide among Democrats appears to be related to race.

What drove a company of American soldiers -- ordinary young men from around the country -- to commit the worst atrocity in American military history? Were they "just following orders" as some later declared? Or, did they break under the pressure of a vicious war in which the line between enemy soldier and civilian had been intentionally blurred? AMERICAN EXPERIENCE focuses on the 1968 My Lai massacre, its subsequent cover-up, and the heroic efforts of the soldiers who broke ranks to try to halt the atrocities, and then bring them to light.

Securing and Sustaining the Olympic City
Reconfiguring London for 2012 and Beyond

moreOften seen as the host nation's largest ever logistical undertaking, accommodating the Olympics and its attendant security infrastructure brings seismic changes to both the physical and social geography of its destination. Since 1976, the defence of the spectacle has become the central feature of its planning, one that has assumed even greater prominence following the bombing of the 1996 Atlanta Games and, most importantly, 9/11. Indeed, the quintupled cost of securing the first post-9/11 summer Games in Athens demonstrates the considerable scale and complexity currently implicated in these operations. Such costs are not only fiscal. The Games stimulate a tidal wave of redevelopment ushering in new gentrified urban settings and an associated investment that may or may not soak through to the incumbent community. Given the unusual step of developing London's Olympic Park in the heart of an existing urban milieu and the stated commitments to 'community development' and 'legacy', these constitute particularly acute issues for the 2012 Games.In addition to sealing the Olympic Park from perceived threats, 2012 security operations have also harnessed the administrative criminological staples of community safety and crime reduction to generate an ordered space in the surrounding areas. Of central importance here are the issues of citizenship, engagement and access in urban spaces redeveloped upon the themes of security and commerce. Through analyzing the social and community impact of the 2012 Games and its security operation on East London, this book concludes by considering the key debates as to whether utopian visions of legacy can be sustained given the demands of providing a global securitized event of the magnitude of the modern Olympics. less

Permanent eyeliner
Does any one have permanent eyeliner? Do you like it? Would you do it again? How often does it need to be touched up? Thanks Debbie
Yes, it's a "tattoo" of sorts, but it's done with cosmetic pigments, not the heavy black or blue tattoo inks.
Even those fade over time, & permanent make-up does too.
My brows, which were done about 5 years ago, need touching up now.
I'd do it again in a heartbeat:
I always had thin, shapeless brows until I had this done.
It's wonderful to wake up in the morning with part of my "face" already there!
There's a permanent make-up technician in my building who had the works:
brows, liner, lips.
She looks gorgeous!
It's been about 6 years since she had it done, & she's just about ready for a touch-up, too.
The tech who did mine had had liner 7 years before, & most of it had faded. She had had black liner with a purple outline, & all that was left was a lavender outline.
The longevity of permanent cosmetics depends on a number of factors: how well the pigment fixes, how your body reacts to it, how much sun you soak up, even how much alcohol you drink.
When you have it done, it may take more than one visit to get the color to fix.
Talk to the tech, ask questions, look at her scrapbook, find out what your payment covers (one visit? two visits? up to three visits?), ask how long she's been doing this, *find out if she's licensed*.
In Texas, they're supposed to be licensed, but evidently there is no consequence for doing it without a license. or something.
A good tech has not only the education & equipment, but also some sense of artistry: she's like a make-up artist.
I'm going to have liner done as soon as I can.
Be sure to pay attention to the post-procedure instructions.
Sun, for instance, fades new pigments badly, or makes the body absorb them, or something.
Avoid the sun, keep the area moisturized with vitamin e oil, don't use harsh cleansers, don't "scrub" your face, etc.
It'll make all the difference.
Best luck, & enjoy!
I just had my eyebrows, and eye liner done a week ago. I just love it, and it isn't even Healed yet!! My tech told me that I would probably need a retouch every 2 years to keep the color the same shade as it is now. She charges $15 for a retouch. So yes, I guess it does fade.
I did it!!! I went in today and had upper and lower eyeliner. It's going to be so nice just to put on a little shadow and blush and go. The liner made my lashes look fuller and darker so if I don't feel like wearing mascara I still look good. I can't wait until they heal.
I have had my "permanent" eyeliner done four times over 20 years. It fades quite a bit after 3 years and by 5 years it really needs to be redone but I've let it go as long as 7 years. The first three times, I had it done by techs using the machine. The last time, I had a tech who used the "tap" method. The tap method is applied by hand. It was much less painful, quicker and the results were superior. There was hardly any bleeding whereas there was a lot of bleeding with the machine. I'll never go to someone who uses a machine again. Oh, the "tap" method was also more expensive but it was worth the money.
I had my eyebrows done twice. The brown tones fade very quickly and they need to be redone every two or three years. I had my lips done once and, at first, they were good but tatooing the skin around the lips doesn't really look like lipstick or lip skin. The pinkish color faded to an orangey tone that I don't like. However, as the tattoo fades, it becomes hardly noticeable. I wouldn't do the lips again.
My eyeliner was applied by the tap method. I has no bleeding, the rest of the day my eyes felt like I had been crying and the next day my eye lids were swollen and today a little itchy but other than that no problems. I am keeping a save on my eyes and no make up for a week, but with a little blush and lipstick I'm good to go. I was dressed 30 minutes earlier for work today. I love it.
I had my lower lids done about four years ago and I personally think that they look just as good as the first time I got them. I really like them and would redo it in a heartbeat. I too feel I save a lot of time on make-up application.
It works well for me since I am always working out and going to the gym. I don't have to worry about smearing and/or smudging of make-up. Yay!
There's a pending law in my county (Suffolk County NY) trying to ban tattoos and piercings anywhere near the face, including eyeliner and lipliner tatoos. I am not aware of the exact health risks, but now I am wary. I always thought it would be cool to get eyeliner tattoed on. I hate drawing makeup lines near my eyes. Just can't hold the pencil steady.
This is my second time.Make sure you go to someone you can trust.When I went back for a touch up I could not find the lady.ThankGod I could touch-up with a pencile.All saying I will do it again in ten years if I'm still liveing.For people with bad eyesight it's a must.
I think the whole concept of permanent eyeliner is fantastic and really not new by any means. Wasn't Cleopatra using some type of permanent makeup? I am not sure how they did that in those days, but I guess that fact that someone is coming near my eyes with needles scares me a little.
Having my lips or brows done would be a bit of a different story for me though. The only problem to me with that is, some days I like the way I put on my makeup and other days, my eyeliner does not look as good to me. What if, you don't like the way the permanent eyeliner is put on. Then you have to live with it for a long time.
I guess if I was younger, I would think about it more. I am glad all of you that have had it done love it. Good for you!!
I would never get permanent tatoo makeup - styles, colors and application of make up changes constantly - who wants to be permanently dated to the decade when you got tatooed? The only person I would let that close to my eyes with a needle is a board certified opthamologist or perhaps a plastic surgeon. I'm glad that those who have had it are thrilled with their results and didn't suffer any serious harmful effects - but I'll stick with make up I can wash off at night and reapply in the morning.
I tend to agree with Skypathway. To each his own however.
I have a friend with permanent eyeliner which she thinks makes her look fantastic. In reality it dates her back to the 80's and makes her look at least 10 years older than her age. She is 4 years older than me and is frequently taken for my mother. I am blessed with good genes but not that good.
I have permanent eye liner and LOVE it. I've only had it for about two months so no comments yet on the longevity. I am a redhead so without any eye makeup, I look washed out. I asked for a very small line on the bottom because I didn't want it to appear heavy. If I were going to an event, I would add mascara but as it is I don't wear anything and it looks great.
Amyta, have them do a patch test on your skin somewhere that will be inconspicous to people who see you often, but it will tell whether or not it is right for you.
Good luck, and tell us how it goes!
As for the pain level, on a scale of 1-10, how would you rate the pain? And do they give your muscle relaxers or something to knock the pain out?
I have many body tattoos, love them and addicted and they didn't hurt, just were annoying, but I would like to have this done so I can eliminate one step.
Thanks all!

Excellent Service
I made a mistake on the color envelopes I had originally ordered ivory. I accidentally ordered two shades white and ivory. They called me up to make sure I meant to do this. They are very Friendly and easy to work with for a wedding. The invitations are beautiful and fantastic.
Great Experience
The colors were vibrant. We loved the place cards we ordered. They were just what we wanted!! They were slightly more expensive than competitors, but the quality is superb. We would definitely recommend this product to others.
Gorgeous Wedding Invitations
We love our invitations! We received so many compliments. We couldn't be happier with the end results. Not too expensive to ship either.
Very Pleased, and they we're even helpful!
Ok, lets start, this is for two guys wedding we holding in NY. We changed main color to dark blue with light beige backgrounds. Delete front page title and just left peacock feather art. Was able to give extended message on back, was helpful as our wedding in NY and we live FL so many friends can't attend. Got 2 separate cards, one for reply, and had one done with venue location info. Ordered favor tags, place setting cards, and in future thank you cards. All coordinated in blue and beige with the peacocks. Oh, and just to touch it off got peacock feathers online and inserted one in the invitation to keep the theme. (favor gifts we also got tags for are Murano Glass wine stoppers in peacock design glass). Very pleased with service, it is greatly appreciated.

Capital oven damaged on delivery
I bought a Capital wall oven in January, and it was delivered in mid-February. I paid extra for indoor delivery. When the freight company delivered it, there was no obvious external damage that I could see. However, it was unpacked in such a way that I couldn't open the oven door, as there was a styrofoam base under the oven. When the installer came the next day, he noticed that the glass bottom (that covers the bake element) was broken, and the oven framing (the part that is screwed in to the cabinetry) was bent at the lower left corner (the installer thought the oven had clearly been dropped on that corner). The repairman, who came several days later, replaced the glass but thought the oven hinge and receiver were bent. So far, it has not been installed. The store I ordered it from offered me $500 for my frustrations, but I have asked for a replacement. I don't think I should have to accept damaged merchandise, even if they will pay to repair it. Am I being unreasonable?
I do not think you are unreasonable at all. I have an issue with my Culinarian Rangetop. I noticed the damage several weeks after. Product is still attached to the pallet and is covered in the stretch wrap. I had removed the box at the time of delivery and cut away part of the stretchwrap in the front to check the front panel and drip tray area as a quick initial inspection upon arrival. When the granite guys came recently to take measurements and I had read a previous thread about others that had issues with the gaps around the drip tray I then probed around and noticed the damage.
I contacted my dealer and they told me that as long as I had the original box and packaging that it would be replaced. Without the carton it could only be treated as a repair. I did not throw away any packaging until I knew an appliance was installed and working.

Rated 2 out of 5 by Robin1383 Unpredictable and inconsistent As a platinum guest, you get used to certain comforts and treatment. This hotel clearly has many guests with status, and they are very often fully books with business guests. Therefore, you can't expect typical platinum treatment, good rooms, or exceptional service. The alarm clocks are not checked, so I've been woken up twice, I've been put in a room overlooking the pool with loud children to listen to all evening, been given the room right next to the service elevator, and often there is no bottled water in the rooms. And this is only my 4th week here. The only good service is the people who deliver room service (but the food is just ok). Free wine in the lounge, but that doesn't make up for everything else! I'll be looking for a new place to stay for the next few months. March 31, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by robsnell12 Really slow elevators I recently stayed at the Sheraton at Clayton Plaza (1/21/2013 - 1/24/203). My stat was average across the board except for the elevators. I stayed on the 14th floor and had to take the elevator to and from my room to the lobby. I consistently waited for 7 - 10 minutes every morning for the elevator. My fellow teammates had the same experience and it played havoc with our timing and schedule in the mornings and evenings. It was so bad to the point that we are not going to stay at this location in the future. January 25, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by ooooooo nice place great stay everyone helpful they just need to have current room service menus food was excellent December 1, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Skiman30 Comfortable and Convenient We have stayed at this hotel three times and each time we have been received nothing but outstanding service. The staff from check-in to check-out makes your stay enjoyable as they are pleasant and helpful. Whether you need maid service or enjoy the club lounge, this hotel makes staying away from home easy at a very affordable rate. Since we have business in Chesterfield and downtown St. Louis, the Clayton location off Highway 40 is perfect and leaves us less than 20 minutes from our destinations. December 7, 2011
Rated 4 out of 5 by becsterla Generally good, with a few cons Our experience at this hotel was very positive in that the staff are extremely kind, helpful and generous. The pool is nicely heated, making it fun for the children. The shuttle service is not only to and from the airport, but will service you in the area. This is quite useful. Room service was adequate but not exceptional. The cons are that the club lounge is outdated and dark. The biggest con is the heater in the room is very loud and the hotel staff acknowledged they know about the problem. January 8, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by LarryM High Quality Small Rooms Room and bathroom were very high quality finishes, but also very tight. The fact that we were upgraded to the club level was helpful because we got free wi-fi and breakfast, but Parking still seemed priced high. Comparable local "Suite" style hotels are much larger and with breakfast, parking and internet includes are a better value (less $ than Sheraton). The Bartender on Friday night was very helpful getting me a wine glass and cup of tea. Also, we chose Green option but did not get voucher. March 4, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by Jarhead1055 Reservation Reserved a room with 2 Queen beds. Called the hotel one week prior to the trip and reconfirmed the reservation for 1 room with 2 Queen beds, and informed the hotel then of a late check in. Arrived at the hotel at 6:30 PM on 6/19, after a 5&1/2 hour drive, and was told that the reservation was in the system for a single room with 1 queen bed. I even had the confirmation number in hand showing 1 room with 2 Queen beds. I wouldn't recommend this hotel, unless you have a money back guarantee. June 29, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by Gen27 The end of the Hall I was given the last room at the end of the hall on the 10th floor. I know I was being given government rate but I still feel that some of these problems should have been fixed prior to my arrival: 1) The Bell Man took my suitcase to my room and then told me he could not lift it due to having a recent surgery. It seems you should have bell man that can do the job. 2) Every morning while I was drying my hair the breaker in my room would go out and I would have to wait to have it re-set. 3) The room was just dirty..hair in the tub, stains on the wallpaper. 4) Not nearly enough plug ins for cell phones, PC, etc. 5) The pillows on my bed were a joke..It took 4 of them stacked up to equal one.6) Lastly, at checkout the desk clerk took my keys and I had to go back to get one so I could leave the garage. August 27, 2012
Rated 3 out of 5 by Joe56 Don't count on the restaurant I stayed here for business on recommendation of a coworker. The hotel is OK -- it's old and a bit run-down. The rooms are small, but well-furnished. Staff ranged from amazing (one gentleman spent 10 minutes telling me about local restaurants after he asked me how my day was in the elevator) to atrocious (the woman working the bar the second night I was there managed to ignore me until I gave up and walked to a nearby restaurant). All in all, not a terrible place, but I wouldn't return. March 12, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by KimPA Great Stay I have never had a bad experience at a Sheraton, only good ones. I do wonder why the hotel dining room is not open on a Sunday evening? Is that because nobody is there on a Sunday evening, so staffing the dining room doesn't make sense? Room Service worked out well and Mohammed was attentive and helpful. Other people I remember for their helpfulness were Rhonda and Sharon at the front desk, Alma and Kevin in the dining room and the two gents who got me safely to and from the airport. October 1, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by JHumpty Excellent! Very nice hotel. Staff was very accommodating. November 26, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by MaMare10 Disappointed I pulled up for valet parking, NO VALET. Carried in my own bag and briefcase. Waited in line. Checked in, still no valet, car parked by front door. Front Desk Agent said he would park my car after he checked me in. Left breakfast notice on door for the next day to have breakfast in my room. No breakfast, called down to Room Service, talked to someone who could barely speak English, she said no order on order. I said Cancel it. Ready to leave room, phone rings, Room Service said to stop by and pick up coffee and a muffin if interested. WHATEVER! Stopped at Front Desk, same agent from the night before. Told him what happened, he said I would not be charged for Valet parking. I checked my account, I have been charged $44.00 for who knows what. I will never stay there again. Bad service, bad all around!!!!! June 17, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by SalesGuy Work traveler beware Business travelers with colleagues need a place to conduct business and the only place to meet your colleagues is in the lobby bar area, however the staff seems to have an issue with iit and turns the music up loud. This has happened several times on multiple trips with different staff. Even as the only occupied table in the middle of the day, your requests to turn the music volume down are ignored. The facilities are great, but they don't understand the business traveller! November 27, 2012
Rated 3 out of 5 by 4Traveler23 Impressed First walking into the Sheraton at Clayton I was immediately impressed. Front lobby and restaurant were very clean. The room was very clean when we walked in. The only thing that concerned me was that my room came with a free bottle of wine, flowers, and a wine glass. I expected these things to be in the room instead of outside in the hallway on the ground. My overall stay was amazing and the only thing I'd change is have the special things you order be in your room. February 2, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by TK45 Extremely disappointed- Gold SPG member This was my 2nd visit to this Clayton Sheraton hotel and will be my last. It was not the hotel cleanliness but the staff and being double billed for parking and then charged for the bottled water in my room (no where was there any indication of cost)- Normally this is an amenity in SPG Club Level. First time I have ever been told that I was not eligible to go to the Club Lounge, that it was only for Platinum members. Not that this was a big deal, just the way the staff relayed it was very condescending. My husband, who never says anything negative, even commented that he was suprised at how rude the staff was. My experience with other Sheraton's have all been stellar and Sheraton goes above the bar with their professionalism and making you feel welcome. This was truly a disappoining experience with this Sheraton hotel. November 4, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by MindyLindy Great experience I was disappointed that the hotel does not provide complimentary wifi in rooms (although you may access it for free in the lobby). That being said, everything else was great. This is an up-to-date, well-maintained facility. The rooms are clean and comfortable with basic amenities for a business trip. Catering for events is tasty. Overall the staff is helpful; though, during breakfast hours the restaurant appeared to be slightly understaffed. I had a pleasant stay. March 6, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by Nasheri Met expectations This Sheraton hotel is a decent business hotel. The rooms are not well lit for detailed work and the bathrooms have been updated but are a bit tired. November 15, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by msajay Excellent Hotel I really enjoyed my stay at the hotel. The hotel is beautiful and centrally located to many attractions in St. Louis. November 17, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by dar1950 Great Stay We upgraded to the club level. Food was excellent. Enjoyed the dinner fair as well as the hot breakfast the next morning. This is a great value and saves gas and time trying to find a restaurant. The indoor pool was really nice too. I would suggest that in the king suite the bathroom should be larger. It was cramped and didn't have enough space, only had a small glass shelf over the toilet and a regular sink. Location is great, easy access from the freeway. August 13, 2012
Rated 2 out of 5 by MplsDrew Sneaky Nickel and Diming Overall rooms were clean, and hotel was well kept. Bar was nice. I've never stayed in a place that charges it's guests for parking, and ten dollars per day PER device for internet access is beyond ridiculous. These items simply do not have any cost associated with them. Not once did I even need to show my parking pass on the way out to any person. I could have very easily just continued taking the paper parking tickets on the way in and just driving out. September 6, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by tashajac Staff was amazing! From pickup at the airport we were greeting with a smile. Sandy was perky and welcoming. Shay was more than cordial and helped us with additional needs. The kitchen staff was very unorganized and the food was blah. However, with the front end staff's outstanding service, I will return :) October 30, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by BEJCPA Elevators? I have stayed in this hotel annually for about the past 5-6 years. It has always been fine except the two elevators were just not enough to service the hotel (long waits). However, this year I was greeted with apologies that one of those two elevators was not working! So there was only one elevator and the service elevator. This is just not satisfactory. Otherwise, the hotel was fine. The staff were all very nice and the service good. August 4, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Firelion Thank you for a great stay, To Mr. Ron Juneman. I wanted to write and express my gratitude after our stay this past week. We travel to St. Louis every few months for my work and our sons Dr. Visits at Barnes and Children's Hospitals. Your staff was so pleasant to deal with, they knew the answer to every question and were very helpful. Our room was very clean and comfortable and we hope to see you again on our next visit. Please thank your staff for making our stay so great. November 4, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by Michael53 I dare you to show this review The staff were fine but not overly helpful. I had to park on another block and I don't know if I parked in the right place, so the parking is terrible. We were kept awake till 2:00am by loud guests and the staff did not deal with the problem till I threatened to leave. This is the loudest hotel I have ever stayed in with doors slamming and you hear everything. I have stayed in campers that have larger bathrooms. It would have been fine for just me but I can sleep in a tent and be comfortable for that matter I wish I had slept in my tent I would have rested. Then breakfast was served till 9:00 now when you don't get to sleep till 2:00 you will not be up by 9:00 so it messed up my entire day. I dare you to post this one as I don't want to be mean and I didn't fuss about it when I left but it really left me with a bad feeling about Sheraton October 3, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by BethLA Lovely people I have to say that although it seems cliche, I feel like I really did experience the famous Midwestern (I know; not Southern) hospitality that I had heard of. This was a nice hotel to start with, but everyone was so friendly - even maintenance staff is passing saying a genuine hello! - that I was touched. I'm from the Los Angeles area; which I have never thought of as rude, but is perhaps too fast-paced to slow down & say hello as much. February 25, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by Atraveler2 Recent Stay The things that went wrong - the printer woulk not work, nor could they get it to work. And the alarm clock in my room went off two nights in a row at 3:45AM!? The first night, the maid should have turned it off whenever there is turnover, but I'll let that slide a bit. However what I can't let slide, is how it was turned back on the second night after I turned it off? Could only mean the maid is setting it to irratate the customers? April 26, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by Sep13 Sheraton Clayton. Only 1 elevator worked. The air conditioning in my room was broke and only put out heat, and the windows were bolted shut! It was like trying to sleep in an oven! The bed was hard and seemed to have a plastic type cove under the sheets! Simply an awful experience! October 23, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by loci221 Great Hotel My husband, myself and our seven year old went to STL for a quick family weekend getaway. We had a great time at this hotel. The room was clean, the hotel had a great location and was easy to find, and the staff made our son feel like a little prince. The internet was super slow and the dining area were a little pricey (We ended up going down to the Loop for dinner). but other than that this hotel exceeded our expectations. July 2, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by suzyn14 District Manager The Hotel is Clean, Comfortable and the Service is great! November 10, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by dialtone It took us 1 hour 35 min to check out It took us 1.35 hours to check out ! First time I called to book my reservation they lost it. Second time my husband called and finally made the rezo. When we went to check out they just could'nt get the bills right. Our room was not cleaned one night, our room service did not match what we ordered and they charged our friend on his bill a breakfast bill he had already paid for which contributed to the bills being wrong.

Biz Stone, co-founder of Twitter, ironically told attendees at a conference this week that users should be careful not to spend hours on the social media site because it's "unhealthy". In addition to co-founding Twitter, Stone helped launch Blogger, Odeo, Xanga and the Obvious Corporation (a group that helps build and invest in new technology). It seems Stone has come to the realization — perhaps with the help of recent addiction studies — that the internet sensations he's helped to create have some people so wrapped up in them that they just can't put them down.
Stone is currently the creative director at Twitter and though he said, "Obviously, we want you to come frequently," he seemed a tad disturbed by the long hours some Twitter users spend on the site. "I like the kind of engagement where you go to the website and you leave because you've found what you are looking for or you found something very interesting and you learned something," Stone told the Board of Trade of Metropolitan Montreal in Canada on Wednesday.
Some studies say that there will be 21 million Twitter users in the US alone by the end of this year — that's just a part of the 100 million active users worldwide. That's a lot of people, potentially spending a lot of time on a site which hits you with content at such a rate that it is almost impossible not to keep coming back for more. So, dear readers, we are sorry if our Twitter feed is making your addiction worse, and we encourage you to stop thinking about character limits and get out in the world in play.

Pulmonary rehabilitation at Texas Health Harris
Methodist Hospital Hurst-Euless-Bedford is designed to meet the
needs of people with chronic lung disease and their families.
Chronic lung disease can often cause a person to reduce daily
activity, which can lead to a further decline in health. The
primary objectives of the pulmonary rehabilitation program are
education and progressive exercise. With a physician's referral,
the pulmonary rehabilitation team can establish a personalized
program to meet specific needs and goals.
The program offers education and
progressive exercise sessions. Classes on proper use of
medications, nutrition, coughing techniques, smoking cessation,
disease management and energy conservation techniques are also
During the exercise portion of the program, a
registered respiratory therapist will monitor the participant's
heart rate, blood pressure, oxygen saturation and level of
shortness of breath (or dyspnea). Progress reports are also
provided to the individual's physician on a regular basis.
What Can I Expect?
During the first two weeks of the program, the participant will
meet with the pulmonary rehabilitation team in two-hour sessions
on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Here, an individual will learn about
the various pulmonary diseases and undergo initial exercise
testing to find the best, personalized exercise program.
Thereafter, sessions range from one to two hours and are held
three times per week.
Where Do I Go?
All pulmonary rehabilitation classes are held at
the hospital's Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Center, Suite
206. The center provides oxygen for participants as prescribed by physician.
Is This Program Covered By Insurance?
Medicare and most insurance companies will pay
for the components of pulmonary rehabilitation. Coverage amount
is dependent on the specific insurance company.

To qualify for a tax exemption, foreigners must pay for their stay in foreign currency (not in Chilean pesos) and present a valid passport along with the migration card they received upon arrival in the country at check-in. Furthermore, the tax may apply per room when the room is shared by a taxable and a nontaxable guest.

Arnold Schwarzenegger is a lot of things: A bodybuilder, an actor, a producer, a politician, a businessman, an Internet legend and an all round cultural icon. One thing he may not be though, is a very tall man.
Despite his reputation as one of the most physically honed human beings to ever step foot on Hollywood soil, no one actually knows how tall the man once called the Austrian Oak is – though he has tried to tell us himself:
"I'm 6ft 2in. I've heard rumours that I'm really much shorter in real life - like 5ft 6in or something like that - which is ridiculous. I can assure you this is not the case," Arnie once boasted.
"People look up to me, and not just because I do a lot of work in the community. I mean, most people really LOOK UP to me."
Only the internet isn't easily convinced…
The issue of Arnie's height appears to come from a clash between his reputation as an "immense" Adonis-turned-actor, and his apparently average height – giving the action icon a distinctly "squat" appearance.
