Farewell to an oak tree
We've been sitting at our breakfast table trying not to cry as we watch the tree man dismantling our 45 year old oak tree and the neighbor's big old oak tree which blew over against ours in the last storm. The tree people here are desperately trying to get down as many imperiled trees as possible before the big storm moves in this evening, so they're mostly working in one man crews and not taking time to lower the cut limbs with a rope. I'm watching BIG limbs crash onto my oak leaf hydrangeas and may apples and clethra and a couple of small dogwood trees. Oh, well, I tell myself, they're just plants. Most will grow back - eventually - and ones that don't will just leave space for some new things. Such in the life of a gardener. Mother Nature will have her way and I'm thankful that the trees didn't fall on our house in the last storm and that the man's getting them down before the next one.
I am sorry you lost your old tree- it is a part of the history of your home and family. I planted a tree each time I gave birth to a child, and it would make me sad if I had to cut down any of them.
I hope you are planning to come to the swap-it wouldn't be the same without you. Please look at my list and see if there is anything that will fill the void in your garden.
Oh my, it's just a sad tree-day. Sympathies!! A friend in OH called earlier mourning the loss of her ash trees, about 8 of them in a pretty small yard, which were killed by EAB and had to come down as they were tall enough to be dangerous in a neighborhood back yard.
Do you also now have much less shade?
So sorry you have to watch them go. :( 45 years is so young for an oak tree to lose it!
There's something about oaks. When my neighbor lost her big 200+ year old tree a year ago she and I both cried -- and it still leaves a big hole in the neighborhood, especially since I had to cut down 2 big ash trees the previous year, too.
Oh my, I'm so sorry! I don't recall exactly where you live, but know that there were several trees down in the Huntsville area last Thursday. I would be crying too! When I now see your time tag, I realize that the tornadoes moved in about an hour later. I hope you didn't have any further damage from those. I was driving home (south) from Redstone around 4:15 and hit a wall of rain and had to come to a near stop because I couldn't see. Scared me to death, but fortunately there was not much wind. About 15 minutes later I heard about the damage that hit Lily Flagg and Whitesburg.
...the most appropriate place I could think of to say goodbye to the Toomer's corner oaks. No football loyalties one way or the other (except to say "Go Bucks") but this is a very sad thing even to me!
Are there many sadder sounds than a chainsaw? Misty!

dishwasher odor
We got a new dishwasher in January and it does a good job cleaning the dishes but I have 2 problems with it that I am hoping you can help with
(1) I ran dishes in there a few weeks ago with some tomato sauce on the plates. It literally turned the interior of my dishwasher pink and I haven't been able to get rid of it.
(2) After it runs there is almost always an odor (wasn't there when it was brand new, but is there now). Its not a sewer odor, or a rotten odor, but more of hot plastic, and just doens't seem clean.
I have run it with vinegar, bleach, oxyclean, and lemonade mix (based on what I have read here and elsewhere). None of them have really significantly improved on either of these issues.
Any suggestions?
You might try:
Here is a link that might be useful: Dishwasher Magic
I'd call the store/manufacturer for sure. Neither staining nor hot plastic smell is normal--but I'm sure you know that. State in no uncertain terms that a hot plastic smell indicates it could be dangerous.
What "options" have you selected as far as heat cycles? Air dry? Raise water temp? Sanitize? Think I'd try a cycle with no extra heating whatsoever and see if it might be heater related. Who knows, might even be something broken and lodged near working parts (motor)causing overheating and smell.
If you haven't already done so, search/post on Appliance Fourm. Those people are really into appliances. Even some repair people who may be able to help. HTH, Sandy
Do you have a garbage disposal? If so, make absolutely sure you run the disposal completely and rinse well before using the dishwasher. Also, pour a few kettles / pans of boiling water down the disposal. Do this regularly - that will probably get rid of the smell, providing there isn't a mfr defect. Make sure nothing is nothing lodged in the bottom of the dishwasher - like a plastic lid or utensil that could be burning.
No suggestions for the discoloration.

The path to cloud confidence?
NASA CIO Linda Cureton has a message for IT managers still concerned about the security risks that come with cloud and mobile: Those things are coming fast, so get used to it -- and get ahead of the demand.
"Regardless of what you let people do, they're going to do it anyway," Cureton said in her Oct. 22 keynote address at 1105 Media's triple conference on cloud, mobile and cybersecurity. (1105 Media is the parent company of FCW.)
Security concerns are critical, but cannot be used to hold back mobile and cloud efforts, Cureton said. "Address those legitimate fears, but don't be paralyzed by them. Otherwise, your customers will walk away and find another way to get what they want."
Industry research finds that 38 percent of executives have been issued a tablet, Cureton said, and enterprise tablets will grown by 48 percent in the next five years. "Address those legitimate fears, but don't be paralyzed by them," she said. "Otherwise, your customers will walk away and find another way to get what they want."
Acknowledging that some CIOs see these trends as "menaces to society," Cureton used the Wizard of Oz to explain how tech leaders can weather the "intense bouts of customer dissatisfaction," and tackle the challenges of cloud and mobile security in a new way:
CIOs also need to be knowledgeable about the technologies, Cureton said, and should pilot technologies internally: "See the advice of others, but realize that ultimately you have to act for yourself."

SPS Media Works presents Sanikizhamai Saayangalam 5 Mani, the first feature film to be shot on a HDSLR camera. Their earlier film Madurai to Theni Vazhi Andipatti was shot using a digital camera. Sanikizhamai Saayangalam 5 Mani has made it to the Limca Book of Records.
The romantic story has enough twists to keep viewers engrossed. Sakthi and Maha are in love. While Maha wants to marry Sakthi without their parents' consent, Sakthi is not for it. Maha takes a bus at 5 p.m. on a Saturday to meet Sakthi and get married to him. But she does not reach the destination. The twist in the tale comes when Maha goes missing. Sakthi gets worried and starts searching for her. He faces several problems, before he finally locates her the next Saturday at exactly 5 p.m.
Produced by S. Janaki Sonaimuthu for SPS Media Works, Sanikizhamai Saayangalam 5 Mani makes you sit through the film till the climax. The film loses steam when it reaches the climax.
Ravi Bharathi, who penned the story and dialogue for Madurai to Theni Vazhi Andipatti, has directed this film.
Radha Bala's screenplay is interesting. Cinematographer SPS Guhan hard work shows in every frame. Editor Karthik Subramanian could have trimmed the first half a little to lend pace to the film. Era. Thamizh Selvan's lyrics have been set to tune by Dhina. Three songs are hum-worthy.
Both Sarath as Sakthi and Malini as Maha have essayed their roles well though Malini could have lent more depth to her portrayal. Meera Krishnan as Maha's mother, Ravi Bharathi as her father, director Rathibala as 'Kannaadi' Gopi and Mogan as inspector Aathi, have performed convincingly.
Sanikizhamai Saayangalam 5 Mani
Genre: Thriller
Director: Ravi Bharathi
Cast: Sarath, Malini, Meera Krishnan, Ravi Bharathi, Rathibala and Mogan.
Storyline: Maga and Sakthi are young lovers. Maha decides to get married to Sakthi without the permission of their parents. And the decision changes her life.
Bottomline: The film is bold, and has a fresh approach but lacks a compelling climax.
Keywords: Tamil cinema, Screenplay, Review

Not Worth The Money
My Husband and I just got back from a long weekend at Foxwoods, Labor Day weekend. After a lot of research, I decided to book the Cedar Park Whirlpool suites. We booked the Deluxe Room with the one person jaccuzi with a King bed. When we checked into the room (159), there were 2 double beds, it was so dark you had to have a light on in the middle of the day and the bathroom was disgusting. The 1 person jaccuzi was more like a half a person jaccuzi. I would have had to sit with my legs curled up. We called the front desk and asked for a different room with a king size bed. The manager at the front desk was very rude, she told us that they were sold out, but 10 minutes after we checked in they had a cancellation on a Luxury Room (sure like we believe that one) and we could upgrade for $50.00 more per night and that was a huge discount because she could sell that room for a whole lot more. We called around to a few hotels in the area and all were sold out. We went to front desk and talked to the manager again for about a half an hour. She finally said she would give us the Luxury room for $75.00 for both nights. The only movie channel is HBO. The Luxury room was beautiful. The second night we went to the casino via their limo service and on the return ride (last ride back to hotel 12am) there was some problem with a couple returning to the hotel, so we had to wait for Foxwoods security and Cedar Park had to send another limo for the husband/boyfriend, so we did not get back to hotel until after 1am. Then around 4am the people above us decided to turn their jaccuzi on. The jaccuzi is on a timer so it only stays on about 15 minutes, so every 15 minutes from 4am-8:30am we heard the woosh of the jaccuzi above us going on and off. After we had our continental breakfast, we called the front desk to ask for a late checkout, (11am is checkout) explaining the problems we had the night before, and that we would like to take a nap before our 2 and a half hour drive home(actually it took us over 4 hours with Labor Day traffic). The manager said she could only give us until 12noon. Her comment was "Well, we can't tell people when to use their jaccuzi". Instead of an appoloy or a later check out, just a rude comment. Well never mind, thanks for nothing. The only good part was the Saturday night complimentary champagne, wine, beer and hors d'oeuvres. Everyone gets together on the patio and chats about themselves. We stayed until the end and the woman who was serving the drinks and hors d'oeuvres gave us the rest of the bottle of champagne to take to our room since we were the only ones left. Bottom line, we paid $227.50 per night for a Hotel room that was worth about $150.00 per night. $100.00 per night with the rude management.
Spend Your Money Elsewhere
Front desk help is lousy. One guy gave us wrong directions, another guy was rude to the limo drivers. The third guy was supposed to clean a dead bird carcus (that had been there at least a week) and beehive off of our moldy porch. We waited up till 3am. This guy never showed. God forbid if someone is allergic to bees or scared of West Nile virus! Also, where is the supposed fitness and conference centers? I saw none. Where is the supposed security? I saw none. The limo ride was the best part. Our driver Norm was prompt and corteous, even though the front desk staff treats him like crap. Also, the rooms are beautifully decorated with a nice jacuzzi. I think I will buy one of those temperpedic matresses for myself-They are awesome! Too bad we could'nt enjoy the view from our balcony (dead bird) or watch tv (we only got one out of the nine movie channels advertised). Please spend your hard earned money elsewhere, because management won't refund you. They just offered us an apology and a free nites stay the next nite-Why, so more of my complaints will go unanswered? So I get to hear other guests complain to no avail? Keep your free nite and give me my money back. Travelers -do not stay here. Beware that this is the only hotel in the casino area that does not book up on a weekend nite. I should have realized that must happen for a reason!
Disgusted and disappointed
Upon entering the room we were greeted with a musty/mildew odor and a water stain on the ceiling. There was a huge flying insect in the bathroom and an empty roll of toilet paper on the holder. On the window sill were 3 dead flies. There were no restaurant/city area guide or TV guide available. The room was decorated with very dark/dreary colors and HUGE mirrors, at least five of them (3'x5' or larger) through out the two rooms these were basicly all that were on the walls it was very tacky. The couch and chair were situated so that you could not see the TV from them, we had to sit on the bed in order the watch television. There was no ice machine near by, only a small ice tray in the freezer. Who knows how long it had been in the freezer I found this very disgusting, who knows what was really in that ice tray...yuck! Our second night there we arrived back at the hotel very late and couldn't wait to use the jacuzzi but we couldn't even get into our room. The key did not work , they had scanned the key for one night only. When we were finally in the room and able to use the jacuzzi it made so much noise that we could barely hear each other talk, about 10 minutes later we noticed orange bubbles and junks of orange colored residue in the water. Yes, RUST from the pipes. We had to immediately get out and take showers to rinse ourselves off. We told management about the rust upon checkout the next morning and were told they had several other complaints and it was probably due to low well water (it had rained almost the entire month of May). There was no compensation offered only a "We are sorry, nothing we can do". I was so disgusted and frustrated especially at the cost for a "LUXURY ROOM". It cost us $165.00 a night and we could'nt even enjoy the jacuzzi, which is what attracted us to this hotel in the first place. I will never even go near this hotel again and recommend that you don't either!
P.S. Within an hour of arriving at the hotel, we did try to get another room but they were full and so were the surrounding hotels since it was Memorial weekend.
Thin walls
My husband and I just got back from our honeymoon, that was spent at the whirlpool suites. The rooms seemed clean, and for the most part the staff was friendly. One problem... The walls were PAPER thin. You could hear your neighbors conversations clear as day. Nothing like blushing a bit!!! When the neighbors use their whirlpool, it sounds like a plane is landing! It kept us up all night. The place was alright, but the "whirlpool" aspect was nothing special, and if you want piece and quiet... look elsewhere.
I didn't want to leave!! Perfect Romantic Getaway!!
My Husband and I stayed here on Saturday night. I only wished we would of planned our stay for Friday & Saturday night. We stayed in a luxury suite, the beds were wonderful!! They offer free Champagne, Beer, coffee & beverages, cheese & crackers from 5pm till 10pm. The free Continetal breakfast was fantastic, from bagels, english muffins, cereal, fruit, muffins, juice, coffee. I would highly recommend this place to anyone who would just like to have a great time and relax. The property is very relaxing as you can sit outside and enjoy your Champagne, cheese & crackers and enjoy nature.Don't forget the Jaquzzi!! That was great too!! Just wish we would of stayed longer.
Potential Health Hazard
WARNING!! HEALTH HAZARD!! A report has been filed against the facility
to the State Department of Health for an investigation into possible
health hazards resulting from the manifestation of microorganisms.
The Rooms were stuffy, dirty, and damp and had a horrible stench, that was explained by the staff as the mix of cleaning products. However, we awoke in the middle of the night because the smell was so bad. We found mold and mildew on the walls. The whole facility may have been built on swampland- which would explain the molds and the need for dehumidifiers in the rooms.
A little disappointed....
We were really looking forward to using the jacuzzi but when we turned on the jets we realized it was not as clean as it should have been. At that point we just decided not to use it at all. It was disappointing considering that the jacuzzi is what attracted us to the hotel in the first place.
Okay, but not special
The rooms were okay. The whirlpool spas were too tiny for 2 grown ups to share. The amenities for the price were just not there. Nothing more than a disconnected series of bungalows.
You Can't Go Wrong !! Great Place !!
1 - Stayed 7/18/03 - 07/21/03 (2 adults)2 - VERY helpful staff.3 - VERY clean room.4- OUTSTANDING mattress!!5 - We had a room with a whirlpool. You MUST upgrade to get the pictured ones shown online. We didn't upgrade and we were VERY HAPPY with the whirlpool provided.6 - 9 movie channels. (Cinemax, HBO, etc)7 - Fridge and Microwave.8 - No room service. We went directly across the street to "Mystic Pizza". Hero Sandwiches (hot/cold), soup, pizza, calzones, salads, etc. Decent prices.9 - If you want alcohol (cold beer, wine etc.) there is a package store right up the street) NO ALCOHOL IS SOLD IN STORES ON SUNDAYS IN CONNECTICUT. JUST BARS.10- ACTUAL driving distance to Foxwoods : 7.3 miles.11 - Would we stay here again? : ABSOLUTELY !!!!
Nice romantic getaway
We stayed at a major casino resort the night prior to our stay here and found the service and staff to be friendlier and more personal. The rooms were just as luxurious as the resort. The rooms are spacious and situated somewhat in the woods so you have a feeling of being away from it all. We had a big jacuzzi tub in our room and the inn provided us with a nice bottle of champagne (for our honeymoon).
The other nice feature is they have stretch limos to give you service back and forth to the Foxwood's Casino. A major plus!!
I recommend this to anyone who is looking for a romantic getaway in a luxury setting!

A cup of coffee and a beautiful walk in the woods set me right. Addie made a new friend, Sunny, and I had a very pleasant chat with Sunny's person.

Leather Man, Mysterious 19th-Century Wanderer, Will Remain So
A mystery since the 19th century, the Leather Man will apparently remain that way forever.
From Sunday to Tuesday afternoon, a team of about 20 historians, geneticists, archaeologists, anthropologists and other researchers descended on the Sparta Cemetery in Ossining, N.Y., hoping to exhume the remains of the Leather Man, a homeless wanderer who fashioned his clothing from discarded boots and roamed around Westchester County and western Connecticut for decades in the 19th century....
Other than coffin nails and dirt, almost nothing was found in the grave, certainly not the genetic material or bones that might have provided clues as to where the Leather Man was born, or whether he was autistic or suffered from any diseases that might shed light on his life....

Toontown was almost there.
Seriously, if you have kids, you should try it for a month. No PvP, but still - PvE where you actually can have a piano drop on a bad guy is pretty frikkin hilarious. Then one day the game becomes a grind like any other. But the first month is pretty damn fun.
I still play Asheron's Call casually and like it, especially with the new low level experience. AC is the only MMO world that feels like a real world to me, not just a bunch of different theme park zones put together. That said, I'm no fanboy; it has had (and I'm sure still has) a number of flaws. I hope that it sticks around, or that someday another MMO will come close to the experience of the AC world but with a modernized client.
I've played other games like WoW and LoTRO, and enjoyed them for different reasons (mostly the experience of group questing with friends, etc.) But they leave me feeling like I'm on some kind of guided tour. Even the class-based system feels far too rigid to me. I miss skill points. I'm not saying that AC did this perfectly either--far from it--but that doesn't mean it couldn't be done better in another game.

Friend of Urf
I plan to try out Veigar again soon, but my games with him in the past have been...less than stellar.
I don't see many guides with Veigar, and the guides I do see seem very outdated.
I can use any and all help; builds, runes, actual gameplay tips w/ him, etc....
Show me how to be an awesome master of evil! >:O
bump for help plz
Senior Member
The guides should be fine he hasn't been significantly changed in a long while. The only differences would be adding Will of the Ancients in as a viable item if there is another caster on the team getting it. Otherwise just relearning to last hit to stack Ap with his passive. Along with hoping the other team has a caster or two stacking AP/Mana.
Sir Mavs
Some people prefer not to show their guides because, they want to keep it themselves so they win all the time. There might be some guides in this website. People in this website submit builds for them. I don't think I saw a Veigar guide but, check it out yourself.

Today I talk about how to hire a coach – whether that is a business coach, if you need help with your business, or a life coach to help you know what path to follow, or even a relationship coach if you are wanting to improve your marriage.
But choosing the right coach is the key to getting the results you need, so here I discuss how to get the right coach for you. There are four main things to take into consideration when choosing a coach – you need to look at their skill set, whether or not they are recommended by others, especially their clients, are they relevant to the problem you need help with, but there is also the 'gut check' – do they feel right for you. For more great tips go to http://www.EntrepreneursTakeAction.com with "Results Lady", Michele Scism – Business Coach and Business Strategist.

Lab and Project Clean Up
Remember, 5% of your project grade is a verified project and workstation clean up.
Workstaion Clean Up
Each group will be assigned one workstation including the equipment shelves and side tables.
Hang Cables
Put Kits or other Components in Bins (center area)
Wipe the debris from the desktop into the trash cans. Don't worry about the floors, they will be swept.
If you find major project components from other groups, place them on shelf, side bench or near the stations listed below.
Throw out trash like coffee cups, cans, etc. Take care to empty liquids into the bathroom sinks first.
Look below under general clean up details for more info.
Look for cables and other misc items on the insturment shelves above the station and put them away.
The side table is included or separetly assigned as part of the station cleanup.
Put any 473 stuff on the shelves above the workstations.
Clean behind the monitors and workstation!
Workstaion Assignments
Each group will be assigned a workstaion or solder station for cleanup. See the shared
link for assignments.
Project Tub/s
Clean out your project and/or associated lab tub/s. Place the empty tubs in the area indicated in the center area.
Project Assemblies
Dissassemble/break down your project unless we already discussed keeping it assembled. If you want to keep your project assembled or you are not sure contact me.
You can have your project poster. Remove the poster from the poster board and put the poster board in the box near the front of the room.
General Dissassembly Guidelines
Take apart circuits that are on protoboards (like the ones used in lab6)
Stuff that is soldered does not need to dissembled. If it is sensor or H bridge for instance you can put it in one of the associated bins (tubs).
You can throw out wires that you made or used from the spools.
Keep the fabricated jumper wires, There is a bin for them.
Resistors, small caps and connectors can be thrown out.
Keep large FETs, voltage regulators. There is a bin for them.
Put large items to be thrown out like cardboard boxes, etc in the hall just outside the doors.
Keep items in our tub you are unsure about and leave it on a shelf.
Put workstations back and make connections if you removed one.
You can keep custom PCBs you made.
General Storage Guidelines
Hang instrument cables on the lockers.
There are labeled bins (tubs) in the center of the first room. You should already see some components in them, so this should guide you. They include some specific categories suchs as:
SmartFusion Kits and Expansion Boards
Actuators (motors, servos, etc)
Game Controllers
There are some small bins on the center fabrication table (solder station) for BNC and alligator connectors.
Contact Matt Smit if you have any questions.
Completion Date
The cleanup should be completed by late midnight Wednesday 12/17/14 .
We may start testing SmartFusion kits this week so we might remove them from your box or project.
Email Matt Smith summarizing what your group did. For example, we cleaned station 3, the associated side table, dissembled all project components and put them in the bins. Were not sure what to do with the Nerf gun so we left it in our box.

Rated 3 out of 5 by weddingweekend Nice for a wedding but not the best service to gold members The room was very nice but a few things were a bit disappointing: 1) I'm a Gold Member and I wasn't offered a gold reward when I checked in (was only given the option of free internet and I didn't have a laptop with me); 2) the drain was very slow in the shower and the toilet ran all night. All understandable but when I told the staff about it at check-out, they seemed uninterested and didn't offer any apologies, which is atypical for Starwood facilities in my experience. July 11, 2012
Rated 2 out of 5 by BGJD Surprised the front desk could not provide change I stayed this week and asked for the front desk to break a $20 bill so that I could leave a tip for your maid and the concierge lounge server. I asked for change at 7:00 AM and was told there was no change due to it being used the prior night. I checked again at 9:00 AM to try to once again get change and there was still none. I was very surprised that no effort was made to fix this in two hours and I was left with no ability to tip your personnel. Very Disappointing September 28, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Dave099 Great Hotel Better Staff Just finished a weekend college search in the area with my son. Was amazed by the hotel and the staff. Hotel had everything we needed and the staff was very professional and courteous. I had the pleasure of checking in and out with Sandy at the Front Desk. Sandy made me feel welcomed. Being a SPG member Sandy and the staff went out of their way to make us feel special. Got home tonight and we are trying to figure out when we can go back. Thank you August 17, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by Cheryl0561 Old !! Was very disappointed in my recent stay at the Sheraton Columbia. The rooms are very old and need major updating. The rugs are dirty. Switched out of my first room because their was no refrigerator, which should be a stable in any hotel room and the rug was dirty. Got put into the lodge and they had a refrigerator but there was gum stuck in the rug, Gross !!!!! Room was smelly also. The area is awesome. Have never been this disappointed in a Sheraton before July 13, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Green29th Sheraton Romantic Anniversary I want to thank the staff. First it was Sandy at the front desk, she was excellent. Then our breakfast with Nejaha and Free, they were so gracious and nice. The staff made our stay this time, we have stayed here for 15 years on our anniversary and love it. see you next year!

I was concerned that I stayed back to back weeks and the first week no problem with my starwood rewards, email of of bill everything was taken care of. The second week I had to call for my bill to be emailed and it reflected no starwood rewards when I did get it but yet when I logged in here the stay was noted?? April 3, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by VeniceRealtor Great location but needs improvement We love the hotel's location and why we chose this hotel. However, the first room was not clean (trash under the bed and in the corners), did not have a microwave as described and mechanical issues with the bathroom. Staff graciously relocated us but we found many of the features were not very well updated and the ceiling in the lobby was leaking when we had a rain event. Our housekeeping staff was rude and very unfriendly. The gym was nice with great equipment. December 1, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by Al05 Bad experience compared to other Sheratons On check in I was told I was staying in the "lodge". Proceeded down the corridor, down six steps and continue down the corridor. With luggage, computer and suit bag, this "hike" was not what I was planning on. Got lost twice. TV and clock radio not plugged in - called twice for repair, no response. Vending/ice areas have no vending. Lamp shade fell into bathroom sink - broke. Complimentary water not left in room last night. Overall this was a bad experience. May 16, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by susan18 Sandy made the difference We had a family affair and it was fabulous. I had a bit of trouble getting a room that was comfortable for my 86 year old mom. Sandy and also Shirlyn (SP?) were very helpful. The showers are awkward with the water running all over the floor. Love the friendly staff in the club room. And can't say enough how Sandy at the front desk made all the difference!!! One thing that was a disaster- the fire alarm went off at 1am and we got very little sleep!!! June 19, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 Perfect location for attending nearby events I was able to book this room the night before an event at Merriweather Post Pavilion, having struck out previously and booking a hotel more than five miles farther away. Due to a last-minute cancellation, I was surprised and delighted that a room became available within a manageable walk from the venue. Aside from a one-legged (dead) cricket in the bathroom, the room was clean and well appointed. I've stayed there before and would stay there again! October 16, 2012
Rated 1 out of 5 by Munch Will not be staying there again Started off bad, I booked a "Pure Room" because I have asthma and need a room without heavy chemicals. I received 4 emails before my stay but not one said "hey the room you booked is not availalble". So had to select another room ...it was clean but poorly maintained, bathroom had a broken sink being held up with a piece of wood, all repairs were cheap and not done very well. Wifi VERY slow and kept dropping us. Will not stay here the time in area. October 28, 2012
Rated 3 out of 5 by Vince55 Slow check in/out Front desk staffs seemed too involve in their paper work on desk. I was the only one in line waiting to check out and view my bill. No guest at the counter. It was when one staff saw me holding my Platinum key card holder that he waved me over. I do want to commend servers at bar and restaurant were every cheerful. Give you the feeling they enjoyed their works there. October 5, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Joel34 Staff revoew We have stayed at this property several times and it is tops. The reason is that Joe Giannino, the GM; front desk ..Michele, Doreen, Sandy, Erina, and others; bellmen..Vernon and Tyrone; food service..Ryan, Terri, and otherengineering; and housekeeping staff are outstanding, courteous, efficient, and effective. Always with a smile and willingness to be of assistance. It is not home, but they all have made our stays comfortable. t August 7, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by Tom3 don't bother with this one I arrived early before check-in time and was told that there were no rooms available but they would put a "rush" on one. Since I had to go back to work, I left my wife there to wait for the room. Two hours and forty minutes later (at 2:40 pm) the room was made available only after I placed a call to the front desk. If they cannot make-up a room in 2:40 minutes???? I travel weekly to this area, this is my first experience and also as aSPG member. July 25, 2012
Rated 2 out of 5 by Chickie0331 Hotel Property needs a facelift Starting from the run down parking garage to the rooms, and the hallways on the way to the fitness center, things look grungy, run down and overall just dirty. The staff was extremely helpful and pleasant when I had to change rooms due to a pet smell that was unacceptable, my new room was comfortable, but not on the club level I paid for. It can be a great facility if given a complete facelift and cleaning of all carpeting/walls. July 25, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Caroline54 Power Outage We had been without power 5 days when we decided to escape to the Sheraton which would accept our 74 lb Golden Retriever. Love the hotel and lake, will make this our go to hotel when we lose power. Beautiful setting, hotel pool and the nicest staff ever. Breakfast wonderful and waitress so friendly. Room wonderful with microwave and fridge, spacious and the best bed in any hotel. Keep up the good work. Great setting for a wedding or conferenc July 9, 2012
Rated 1 out of 5 by Alovebug1 room were not clean The room I was check into the bathroom was dirty. I was check into a different room that bathroom was dirty as well. Then the pillows had stains on them as well. Also you can here the people in the next room as if they were right next to you. What to the cake for me then the water was turn off. I called the front desk asking why wasn't I told before I check in. The PBX said they put letters under the doors. However I check in at 8am or so. August 25, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by bosco60 VERY COMFORTABLE There was a group with young boys also staying at the hotel that evening. The desk clerk put us on another floor so they wouldn't disturb us. That was very thoughtful of her. The room was all the things that you should expect.....clean and comfortable. After getting home I realized I left my KINDLE in the bed and called Sheraton. It was found and given to my sister that afternoon. I was very grateful the maid service was an honest person. November 30, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by lsrtravel June 11 stay Issue w/ Breakfast - was to be delivered between 7:15-7:30. At 7:30 I was told it was on the way. 12 minutes later, nothing. I called to cancel & they said there was an issue with the computer & receipt print out. Not really an excuse for being late & making me late. They did comp the breakfast which I didn't have to request & I appreciate that. They should have advised they couldn't make the wi delivery time & provided me an option. June 13, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by fatherofbride great staff and room We were in town for our daughters wedding. At check in the employee was very friendly and suggested that we may want to move up to the club floor. We did and was well worth it.The morning breakfast was very good. On our last day, the club floor employee asked about the wedding and congratulated my daughter. The van driver was extremely nice and took us to and from the rehearsal dinner. The hotel staff made this a great weekend. May 22, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by TravelingLecturer Wonderful catering/banquet service! I taught a seminar in one of the meeting rooms and the staff could not have been more helpful! The meeting room was excellent as well. Starting with Blake who dropped everything when we asked questions and got us our answers asap. Then there was Julie who also went the extra mile and Alberto - the manager who arranged a last minute luncheon buffet to help our folks out. He was gracious and helpful and and the buffet was outstanding February 19, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Kevin05 Good location and staff The Columbia property sits on a lake and is within walking distance to restaurants and a public area where there was live music playing. The outdoor pool overlooks the lake and a wooded area. SPG members received complimentary internet. The staff was overall very helpful -- especially a bartender named Pinar. I was disappointed in some of the Business Center resources. I needed to make a copy and was tersely informed that there is a $0.25 charge per page. That should be included in the Business Center. The printer was low on toner. On another occassion, the front desk faxed a document for me and was pleasant and helpful. The property is a little 'dated' and was undergoing construction. If you are being charged non-construction rates, then you shouldn't have to contend with that distraction...otherwise, some sort of rate-adjustment should have been made. July 30, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by NancyG Excellent room at the Lodge section! This hotel is all about service and comfort. Our room in the Lodge section of the hotel was large and quiet with woods and a lake view. I felt like I was in spa room at a resort. No, the furniture and bath weren't marble and gold, but this room was way more than I expected. The front desk made sure we had the best room available at our rate. Will definitely return if our travels take us this way. Only about 40 minutes from D.C. September 13, 2012
Rated 3 out of 5 by DRJJ99 Convenient but needs updating This is s great business hotel but needs that last piece of updating - the rooms. There needs to be additional plugs on the table between or next to the beds and more than two on the desk. Business people like to work both sitting or lying in bed as well as at the desk. It appears that some features were updated, the shower head was updated but the rest of the tub wasn't. The rooms are showing their age; rust, paint, etc. February 21, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by reid618 Wedding Party Reception was GREAT !! Food and Beverages all Top Drawer.Great Rooms,and got them side-by-side.Just too easy! Stayed for 2 nights and got great service from the MGR. Mr.Gianinio.Best Front Desk were Michele and Charlene,also Isaac Kamara in the evening desk.BUT,the BEST of them ALL, was TYRONE the bellman. I could never have handled all the luggage from the 3 women I had to deal with without Tyrone. August 11, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Trixie3 A beautiful hotel and great staff Thank you to Derrick, the manager on duty last weekend, and his wonderful, friendly staff. My daughter and I had a beautiful king sized bedroom overlooking the lake. It was spacious, clean and had an air purifier which was highly effective. We had a very nice breakfast in the club lounge with excellent service. There was no extra charge for allowing our shih tzu to stay with us. I definitely look forward to staying again. May 30, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by LM47 Nearly perfect experience The room was large, very comfortable and attractive. Other than some loud guests and a barking dog at 4AM that barked on and off until 6AM the stay was very enjoyable. The only thing that was wrong with the room was that the bathroom door fit so tightly that my, small in stature, wife would have been unable to close the door to the point of latching it and certainly could never have reopened it if she did get it closed. August 22, 2012
Rated 3 out of 5 by DocMatter People great, but facilities not First off, the staff was great! But... The wireless service in my room never reached above 2 bars (fair, at best). It was slow, slow, slow. And they charge you $12.95/day if you're not a Starwood member. Also, the cable kept cutting out on me every 45 minutes or so. Engineering said it was the new TVs and that was about it. And the pool closed at 6 PM... never got a chance to use it since I was in meetings all day. August 5, 2012
Rated 3 out of 5 by MisterX Decent hotel I've stayed at the hotel 3 times now and it's a decent hotel. Unfortunately my last time I had a room that had connecting doors on both sides. As a result there was a lot of noise disturbance. I actually had to sleep with ear plugs because the people next to me were skyping deep into the night. However, when you have a room that doesn't have connecting doors, you barely hear anything and it's a great way to relax. January 23, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Harris The Good and the very minor Not so Good. On Sunday, Dec. 23, 2012, I noticed a live ladybug on the rug, along with some other stains. I also noticed a blood stain on the lower edge of the inside comforter that did not come from us. I have a Public Health degree, so this is not acceptable. The bathroom was small compared to such a large room, room 407. Otherwise, it was a very nice room at the end with a curved windo and a very nice view. very nice staff December 24, 2012

Weeds in my Horseherb Groundcover
I am very new at gardening and making my yard look nice. I neglected to remove some weeds in my horseherb groundcover last season and now I am overrun.
Does anyone have any ideas on how I can get rid of them without hand pulling?
Would mowing it do anything? I heard that if you keep your lawn mowed weeds have a harder time getting established, maybe the same would work for horseherb?
Thanks for any help
A lot of the weeds appear to be grasses. There is a grass only spray that will not kill broad leaved plants: Grass-B-Gone made by Ortho. The others you'll just have to pull -- preferably before they go to seed. Then maybe the the horseherb will be so thick they will shade out any remaining seeds, but no matter what the groundcover there will always be some weed pulling to do, even in a thick lawn.
Wishing you the best!
Is that a flat seed pod I see in the lower right quadrant? Does it perhaps contain 7 or 8 flat, husked seeds? If so, it's probably a form of poa annua, or meadowgrass, which is usually an annual. Those who are learned in such matters say that the most effective control is to put down a pre-emergent in late summer, to prevent the next crop of seeds from sprouting. As for herbicide application, I wonder if mowing everything short wouldn't make it easier to target the base of the individual weeds. Might want to pull off the seed pods beforehand, to avoid scattering.

They are hired for the case and trials are sometimes part of the representation. Jury Trials are challenging and in their own way fun for the attorney, but they require a lot of work. OWI defense is intricate enough to be its own specialty in the criminal law. Most criminal law is won on motions and jury trials are uncertain at best. Public Defenders work very hard to represent their clients but are sometimes taken advantage of by clients who think they will get better deals by being feisty....

Is the case over and the felony dropped or is that just the offer? If not over and you are not yet 25 years old when the offense is alleged you can ask for expungemnent and it the DA agrees the court can note that on the record and you can get it expunged by request if you then meet the expungement conditions. Must be mentioned at sentencing or too late. Also to be blocked from CCAP after expunged you probably will have to plead to all counts or it can pop up even though some charges are...
4 lawyers agreed with this answer
With two separate incidents like this it is unlikely to get expungement this late in the timeline. Check in person and bring your paperwork. The 1993 conviction will be off CCAP anytime now (20 years). The felony is on for 50 years (30 more to go). Without the DA's cooperation I don't believe anything short of the governor's intervention will work. Read the statute.
Selected as best answer
Yes, check with the city, village or county prosecutor's office or staff and don't forget to plead not guilty for the first hearing. See from the court clerk if you can file a written not guilty plea. You may have a status conference and/or try to make an appointment to talk to staff or the prosecutor. Often they will lower the ticket one bracket (point) unless the speed was over 25 mph over the limit. Then you may have problem. A local traffic attorney can be of help.
Selected as best answer
Depends on many factors. Probably best answered by an experienced Milwaukee attorney if the work release was there. Get competent advice now.
Selected as best answer
The governor could change his mind. I think restoration of gun rights is a sub issue and can be done without the full boat pardon. Check into this. Bow Hunting would be my choice. A few felons released from prison years ago had all rights restored due to a DOC slip on the discharge. I would check that with an attorney that knows what I am referring to. Good Luck!
2 lawyers agreed with this answer
This situation needs an attorney familiar with the probation/ES situation in Milwaukee and with the criminal court timeline there. The scheduling should be addressed with the court and by an attorney if possible. Good Luck!
2 lawyers agreed with this answer
No, they may not. Polygraph testing is sometimes unreliable, depending on the experience of the operator and the type of questions asked and needs to be done in a controlled environment. Always request to speak to an experienced attorney in this area before taking such a test. Polygraph results, although maybe not admissable in court, can complicate your case and add circumstantial evidence against you.
2 lawyers agreed with this answer
Check his mailing address on CCAP and his driver's license to make sure DMV and others have the correct address. Perhaps it passed the BAC screen and they sent it on for drug testing. This can take longer for a drug panel set of tests.

Did both parents die. It seems clear the stuff was theirs. Who is the executor? If a person takes charge of a small estate in Wisconsin they agree to anyone holding the property to be released that they will indemnify them if misdistributed. This needs more fact development and yes you may have a claim as an heir or legatee of your parents. You could start an estate,give notice and request appointment as personal representative. Is the personal property worth it?

Apple's Competitive Advantages
Autor: jon • September 27, 2011 • 4,103 Words (17 Pages) • 3,825 Views
1. What, historically, have been Apple's competitive advantages?
Apple has had various competitive advantages since its origin until the present.
Firstly, Apple's innovation has always been its hallmark. Beginning with the first "Apple I" till the "iPad 2", Apple products have change the development of the market many times, specially during the last decade, with the first iPod's lunch. Although Apple's single technologies have not been walkthroughs created by the company itself, it has developed the characteristics of these technologies and combined them in a way that had never been done before.
One of Apple's main ways to innovate is through the ease of use of its products, another of its big competitive advantages. Apple's products are popularly considered as very intuitive and, although MP3 players already existed in 2001 or multi-touch surfaces in 2007, products like the iPod and iPhone allow the use of these technologies and devices in a very practical way with an almost vertical learning curve. Besides this ease-to-use, Apple has "plug & play" oriented designs: devices ready to be used with a series of peripherals without requiring prior knowledge. This has led Mac computers to be "digital hubs" of the new digital devices.
Moreover, Apple has always had a proprietary design. Apple has never licensed any of its products or designs (except during Spindler's management). This means that it has always had a wide control over its value chain, from the designs from scratch of their computers, till the software and its marketing or sales. It has a widely vertical integrated business and nowadays, it is even beginning to design its own microchips. This has led to a very unique differentiation that can be hardly found in competitors' products. That is why one of Apple's most typical characteristics are its products' elegant and state-of-the-art industrial designs and superior software (OS). All components of its products are perfectly...
Apple Inc In 2009
1. Steve Jobs has done a good job as Apple's CEO. He helped Apple to establish a huge loyalty customers market, and survived it from the competition with Microsoft. Steve Jobs develops a strategic vision of where the company needs to head, which is to make Apple competitive advantage sustainable and continue to lead the technology market. Apple's objectives is "think different". It does very well by creating innovative products. Other companies had tried before to replicate the design of Apple, none have succeeded in the manner of Apple.
When Steve Jobs was named the CEO in 1998, he re-revolutionized the entire company. He expended the segment Apple's

Radeon DRM Queues More Changes, RV6xx UVD For Linux 3.18
Published on 28 August 2014 03:34 AM EDT

the DRM merge window for
now closing earlier
going forward than in past kernel releases, another Radeon DRM-Next pull request was already submitted for
Linux 3.18
Alex Deucher of AMD had already sent in a pull request to
add Radeon userptr support for Linux 3.18
after it just missed the Linux 3.17 merge window due to the user-space support not being tried and tested. In Alex's latest pull request to DRM subsystem maintainer David Airlie, there's more changes than the first.
The main feature of this latest Radeon DRM update for the Linux 3.18 kernel is landing the
open-source UVD support for RV600 GPUs
that after years of waiting is now finally available to Radeon HD 3000 users on the open-source driver. There's also new firmware/microcode files and a small Mesa patch (already mainline) required for getting this GPU-based video decoding work. Of course, going back to early last year was
open-source support for newer versions of UVD
This latest pull also has reset rework handling in preparation for merging Maarten Lankhorst's fence patches, and there's also a few other changes.
This latest Radeon drm-next work that outlines all sixteen new patches can be found via
