Vt. 1st in Peace Corps volunteersDecember 13,2012
MONTPELIER Peace Corps officials say Vermont is continuing with its ranking as the top state for the per capita production of Peace Corps volunteers.
Officials announced the rankings Wednesday.
Only the District of Columbia has a higher ranking in the production of volunteers.
The same rankings found that New Hampshire ranked fourth and Maine eighth.
The Peace Corps Northeast Regional office manager Brian Melman says the region has a culture of involvement and community engagement.
Since the Peace Corp was created more than 50 years ago, 1,453 Vermonters have served as volunteers across the country.
The Peace Corps currently operates in 139 countries across the world with volunteers working in development programs as varied as HIV-AIDS education to information technology.MORE IN Vermont NewsHouse Speaker Shap Smith kept alive his winning streak on the House floor this past week, guiding...

Nokia unveils colorful Lumia 2520 tablet
By Chris Wood
October 22, 2013
Nokia has unveiled the much-rumored Lumia 2520 tablet today. The device comes in a range of matte and glossy colors, and offers about what you might expect from a tablet in the Lumia range. The most prominent feature here is easily the cameras, which are more akin to what you might find on a mid-range smart phone than your average tablet.
Nokia's tablet runs on a 2.2 GHz Snapdragon 800 CPU and features built-in LTE connectivity, 2 GB RAM and 32 GB expandable storage. The display clocks in at a full 1920 x 1080 with 650 nit brightness and "almost" 180-degree viewing angles.
Unlike most tablets on the market, Nokia's device features some fairly capable optics, with a 6.7-megapixel shooter on the back, an F1.9 aperture and Zeiss optics. There's also a 2-megapixel offering on the tablet's front face.
The device comes with an optional wrap-around cover that features a Surface-like keyboard and trackpad. Known as the Nokia Power Keyboard, the peripheral provides users with two USB ports and an additional five hours of battery life.
The tablet ships with Windows RT 8.1, augmented with some Nokia-exclusive software. This includes the Storyteller app, which automatically pulls photos from numerous sources including Facebook, Picasa, SkyDrive and Flicker, creating a single image timeline. Also on board are Nokia Music, HERE Maps and the company's Video Director editing app.
Nokia's decision to base the 2520 on the much-lamented Windows RT OS may prove the tablet's biggest obstacle to success. Sales of Windows RT tablets have been less than impressive since its launch alongside the full-blown Windows 8 OS last year and, for a lot of people, the limited functionality of the platform (due to a comparable insufficiency in quality RT apps and inability to run full Windows apps) will be enough to turn their attention to other devices.
That said, the Lumia 2520 is set to offer something a little different from the competition, but nothing truly unique. The device's strongest selling points are its comparatively impressive optics and battery-extending cover.
The Lumia 2520 is scheduled for release in Q4 2013 with a slightly steep recommended price of US$499. Like Microsoft's own Surface keyboard accessories, the Nokia Power Keyboard is an optional extra and will set users back an additional US$149.

The red one looks good,..
"Nokia's tablet runs on a 2.2 GHz Snapdragon 800 CPU and features built-in LTE connectivity, 2 GB RAM and 32 GB expandable storage. "
Nice. And should RT bottom out, there is always the option of moving the next model to Haswell.

This is an awesome accessory.Nairda

Since Microsoft recently bought Nokia, I would be exceptionally surprised if they put any OS other than Windows on there....BAAAASS

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?

"My new guilty pleasure"
The story is so improbable it could only be true: an elderly spinster watchmaker becomes a leader in the Dutch underground of World War 2.
The richness of the characters and their deep faith in God drew me in.
The narrator's lovely accent helped transport me to Dutch Harlem. The names of people and places roll off her tongue so easily; if I was reading the book myself I'd have to stop and think about each one.
I've had to ration myself to listen to this book on my commute, but it's definitely changed my perspective about the drive. I eagerly anticipate when I can get into to the car and immerse myself in The Hiding Place. I'm more excited to get back to the book than I am to get home.

As the biggest name to hit the free-agent market this summer, Carmelo Anthony will have an enormous decision to make about whether he remains in New York or opts to leave, as many believe he will.
Of course, as Anthony prepares to consider pitches from around the NBA, the Knicks have their own decisions to make concerning the future with or without their 30-year-old star. In particular, there's the looming issue of what kind of contract they will offer Anthony after his free agency begins on July 1. Money, after all, is one of very few advantages the Knicks have in the negotiations.
The Knicks are able to offer Anthony up to five years and $129 million; any other suitor could offer him a maximum of four years and $96 million. But they are unlikely to do so. Team president Phil Jackson said in April that he'd like Anthony to agree to a pay cut (an idea Anthony had initially floated earlier in the season), because it's increasingly difficult to win in the NBA without star players taking pay concessions to aid their teams' salary-cap situations.
That may be true, but if the Knicks offer Anthony substantially less than a maximum deal—which would give them more flexibility next summer, when they will have ample space to chase free agents—it will only make a team like the Chicago Bulls look more appealing.
The Bulls, who would love to combine Anthony with returning point guard Derrick Rose and reigning Defensive Player of the Year Joakim Noah, could clear enough cap space to offer Anthony a deal starting at around $17 million a year. (The Knicks can offer a maximum of $25.8 million a year.) They could do that by waiving forward Carlos Boozer via the NBA's amnesty provision and renouncing their pending free agents. The Bulls, in fact, have been making cost-conscious roster moves since February to clear salary space for a big name like Anthony.
Winning a title, which doesn't appear to be in the cards for the Knicks anytime soon, is undoubtedly important to Anthony, one of the most accomplished players in history to have never reached the NBA Finals. But he recently reiterated how difficult it would be to leave New York, based on the ties he and his family have established.
"My son goes to school and loves it here," Anthony told Vice Sports in an interview that was filmed June 3 and published Monday. "To take him out and take him somewhere else, he has to learn that system all over again. He has to get new friends. I know how hard it was for me when I moved from New York to Baltimore at a young age. As far as basketball goes, it's hard to just say, 'OK, I'm going to go there.' Everybody is affected by it."
Everybody, that is, including the Knicks. For all the attention focused on Anthony's decision, it will be equally important for the Knicks to make the best decision for everybody as well.

Looking to buy an new adc. Is Twitch good/viable?
What's his skillcap?
How well does he do in Solo Queue and Competitive team play?
Would like to know as much about him as possible. Thanks.
Please post and comment below. Thanks.
Best Zod NA
Twitch is very viable.
His skillcap is quite high.
He destroys solo queue and is good in a team built to protect him.
I have yet to see a Twitch who doesn't feed.. then again that's the player's fault, not the champion's.
Max expunge first, with a point in W at 2 to trade and a point in Q at 4 for AS buff/escape. Don't underestimate the range and damage on expunge, especially early, nobody is going to flash away from you at low health and live.
No he's not viable imo, can he pubstomp normal queues? sure, any AD can.
can he do it competitively against equal skill level players? less likely.
Leona, Taric, Lulu are nightmares for a twitch. Twitch can only win trades on ashe and trist at early elvels in lane phase.
Ezreal, Cait and Draven flat out destroy him, coupled them with any of the 3 supports above and twitch is 3-4shotted easily,
twitch is a very offensive oriented champ, sadly the only thing that allows him to be that way is his stealth, which is easily countered by a pink ward thats easily affordable
not to mention any hard cc which currently most supports have.
Tbh if you want an agressive ADC in lane go MF or Draven, if you want one that can sit back and farm abit and poke/commit at good oppertunities, go trist/caitlyn.
Twitch is offensive but is forced to be very defensive just based on his easily countered mechanic.
dont expect to creep behind them and get a 4-6 stack expunge of against any player worth their weight in lane phase.
But if you do decide to buy him, just always go with a leona and you'd pubstomp most games
Basic Overview:
His passive gives him some easy damage early in lane if you know how to poke.
His Q gives him the ability to skirt around the back and prevent being focused early in a team fight. It also gives him a nice AS steroid for a bit.
His w is great for getting some free harass. Shoot them once or twice, toss it to slow, hit then one or two more times for a full stack then E for tons of damage.
His E is a long range killer or just for additional damage before the stacks wear off. Mixed with his pasive it's a main source of damage before he gets items.
His ult is amazing in team fights since it is an overall steroid and can hit everyone on their team from long range.
His skill cap is quite high as mentioned before, partially because he relies on positioning well with his ult and because he's squishy (like most adc's). If they get anyone that can AoE reveal you have to be very careful because his only escape gets countered.
When used correctly, he's destructive. I have friends who use to laugh at him when they saw him on the other team, only to regret it later.
It seems as Twitch is overall a very good adc.
However, one thing bothers me: People say that pink wards will counter Twitch.
I'm worried that everytime I play Twitch, I'll easily get shut down if they know to buy them. How much does these wards affect my gameplay?
Pink wards only stop you from being able to sneak up on people. That's it. You can still use your Q for the MS/AS boost whenever.
Junior Member
Twitch is a great ADC. Don't be fooled by some people who say otherwise. HOWEVER, you may be frustrated the first 100 times you play him as he's a little difficult compared to most. Learn to kite the **** out of people with your stealth. Twitch is not only an ADC, but also an assassin. Positioning is key with him (as is with any ADC though).
positioning is key, he is squishy, but with someone keeping others from focusing him he can lay down some crazy damage... popping out of stealth and landing your ult on several enemies and expunging can vaporize people stupid fast. When playing with friends on skype, most peoples first reaction to being vaporized so quickly is, damn who else is getting this lag, or how the...
twitch has great early game stats, is very scary late game with 6 items, true damage poison chews through everything, if it isnt delayed his stealth can be an amazing escape, and he can tear down towers(use attack speed boost and ult to outrange towers and do a fair bit of damage, great when you are trying to split push and dont expect a team fight.).

|*From 1 July 1984 to 2 October 1990, Richard von Weizsäcker was Federal President of West Germany only. From 3 October 1990 until 30 June 1994, he was Federal President of the reunified Germany.
Richard Karl Freiherr von Weizsäcker ( listen (help·info); 15 April 1920 – 31 January 2015) was a German politician (CDU) who was the President of West Germany from 1984 to 1990, and then of a reunited Germany from 1990 to 1994. He had previously served as Governing Mayor of West Berlin from 1981 to 1984.
During his presidency, German reunification was accomplished through the incorporation of the territory of the former German Democratic Republic into the Federal Republic of Germany on 3 October 1990, and he thus became the first President of all of Germany since Karl Dönitz in 1945 and the first democratically elected President since Paul von Hindenburg in 1934.
Early life[edit]
Richard von Weizsäcker was born on 15 April 1920 in the New Castle in Stuttgart,[1] the son of diplomat Ernst von Weizsäcker, a member of the noted Weizsäcker family, and his wife Marianne (von Graevenitz) von Weizsäcker.[2] Ernst von Weizsäcker was a career diplomat and a high-ranking official in the Foreign Ministry in the 1930s.[3] Richard von Weizsäcker had two brothers, physicist and philosopher Carl Friedrich von Weizsäcker and Heinrich von Weizsäcker, who was killed in action in World War II in 1939. In 1967, his sister Elisabeth married Dr. Konrad Raiser, the former General Secretary of the World Council of Churches (WCC).[4] His grandfather Karl von Weizsäcker was Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Württemberg, and was ennobled in 1897 and raised to the hereditary title of Baron (Freiherr) in 1916.[5] Because his father was a career diplomat, he spent much of his childhood in Switzerland and Scandinavia. The family lived in Basel 1920–24, in Copenhagen 1924–26, in Oslo 1931–33, and in Bern 1933–36, where Richard attended the Swiss Gymnasium Kirchenfeld. The family relocated to Berlin in 1936.[6]
When he was 17 years old, von Weizsäcker moved to Britain, where he studied philosophy and history at Balliol College, Oxford. He subsequently studied at the University of Grenoble in France.[7] After the outbreak of World War II, he served in the German army, ultimately as a Captain in the Reserves.[8] He was wounded in East Prussia in 1945 and transported home to Stuttgart. At the war's end he continued his study of history in Göttingen and eventually studied law.[9] In 1947, when Ernst von Weizsäcker was a defendant in the Ministries Trial for his role in the deportation of Jews from occupied France, Richard von Weizsäcker served as his father's assistant defence counsel.[10][11]
Von Weizsäcker took his first legal state exam in 1950, the second in 1953, and earned his doctorate (doctor juris) in 1955. In 1953 he married Marianne von Kretschmann; they have four children: Robert Klaus von Weizsäcker, a Professor of Economics at the Munich University of Technology, Andreas von Weizsäcker, an art professor at the Academy of Fine Arts Munich, Beatrice von Weizsäcker, a lawyer and journalist, and Fritz Eckart von Weizsäcker, a Professor of Medicine.
Von Weizsäcker worked for Mannesmann between 1950 and 1958, as a scientific assistant until 1953, as a legal counsel from 1953 and as head of the department for economic policy from 1957.[12] From 1958 to 1962, he was head of the Waldthausen Bank, a bank owned by relatives of his wife. From 1962 to 1966, he served on the board of directors of Boehringer Ingelheim, a pharmaceutical company.[13]
Political career[edit]
Weizsäcker joined the CDU in 1954. Subsequent Chancellor Helmut Kohl offered von Weizsäcker a safe seat for the 1965 elections, even going so far as to have Konrad Adenauer write two letters urging him to run, but Weizsäcker declined due to his work in the German Evangelical Church Assembly, wanting to avoid a conflict of interest.[14] He became a member of the Bundestag (Federal Diet) as a result of the 1969 federal elections, serving until 1981.[15]
In the early 1970s, Weizsäcker defied his own Christian Democratic Union party to help Social Democratic Chancellor Willy Brandt win passage of a series of treaties that normalized West Germany's relations with eastern-bloc countries, including the Soviet Union, East Germany, Poland and Czechoslovakia.[16]
In 1974 Weizsäcker was the Presidential candidate of his party for the first time, but he lost out to the Free Democrat Walter Scheel, who was supported by the ruling center-left coalition.[17] Ahead of the 1976 elections, CDU chairman Helmut Kohl included him in his shadow cabinet for their party's campaign to unseat incumbent Helmut Schmidt as chancellor.
Between 1964 and 1970, Weizsäcker served as President of the German Evangelical Church Assembly. He was also a member of the Synod and the Council of the Evangelical Church in Germany from 1967–1984.[18]
Between 1979 and 1981, Weizsäcker served as Vice President of the Bundestag.[1]
Governing Mayor of West Berlin, 1981–1984[edit]
Weizsäcker served as the Governing Mayor (Regierender Bürgermeister) of West Berlin (1981–1984). During his tenure, he tried to keep alive the idea of a cultural nation called Germany divided into two states. In speeches and writings, he repeatedly urged his compatriots in the Federal Republic to look upon themselves as a nation firmly anchored in the Western alliance, but with special obligations and interest in the East.[17] Weizsäcker irritated the United States, France and Britain, the half-city's occupying powers, by breaking with protocol and visiting Erich Honecker, the East German Communist Party chief, in East Berlin.[19]
President of West Germany, 1984–1990 and Germany, 1990-1994[edit]
In 1984, Weizsäcker was elected President of West Germany by the German Federal Convention, succeeding Karl Carstens and drawing unusual support from both the governing center-right coalition and the opposition Social Democratic Party;[17] he defeated the Green Party's candidate, Luise Rinser.
Speech on the 40th anniversary of the end of the Second World War on 8 May 1945
Weizsäcker is known for his speeches. In 1985 he gave a famous speech in the Bundestag about the 40th anniversary of the end of the Second World War on 8 May 1945[20][21] where he articulated the historic responsibility of Germany and Germans for the crimes of Nazism. In contrast to the way the end of the war was still perceived by a majority of people in Germany at the time, he defined 8 May as a day of liberation.[22] Weizsäcker pointed out the inseparable link between the Nazi takeover of Germany and the tragedies caused by the Second World War.[20] In a passage of striking boldness, he took issue with one of the most cherished defenses of older Germans. "When the unspeakable truth of the Holocaust became known at the end of the war," he said, "all too many of us claimed they had not known anything about it or even suspected anything."[23]
Most notably,[24] in the wake of U.S. President Ronald Reagan's controversial visit to the Bitburg military cemetery in May 1985, Weizsäcker spoke of the danger of forgetting and distorting. "There is no such thing as the guilt or innocence of an entire nation. Guilt is, like innocence, not collective but personal. There is discovered or concealed individual guilt. There is guilt which people acknowledge or deny. . . . All of us, whether guilty or not, whether young or old, must accept the past. We are all affected by the consequences and liable for it. . . . We Germans must look truth straight in the eye – without embellishment and without distortion. . . . There can be no reconciliation without remembrance."[25]
Weizsäcker declared that younger generations of Germans "cannot profess a guilt of their own for crimes they did not commit."[19]
Also in 1985, Weizsäcker was one of the first representatives of Germany to remember homosexual victims of Nazism as a "victim group."[26]
On his trip to Israel in October 1985, Weizsäcker was greeted on arrival by his Israeli counterpart, President Chaim Herzog. The president was given a full honor-guard welcome at Ben-Gurion Airport; among Cabinet ministers who lined up to shake his hand were right-wingers of the Herut party, the main faction of Foreign Minister Yitzhak Shamir's Likud party, who had previously refused to greet German leaders. Weizsaecker's visit was the first by a head of state, it is not the first by a West German leader. Chancellor Willy Brandt had paid a visit to Israel in June 1973.[27]
During a four-day state visit to the United Kingdom in July 1986, Weizsäcker addressed a joint session of the Houses of Parliament, the first German to be accorded that honor.[28]
Role in the Historians' Dispute
Speaking to a congress of West German historians in Bamberg in October 1988, Weizsäcker rejected the attempts by some historians to compare the systematic murder of Jews in Nazi Germany to mass killings elsewhere – like those in Cambodia under Pol Pot or in Stalin's purges – or to seek external explanations for it. Thereby he declared an end to a historians' dispute that had sharply divided German scholars and journalists for two years, stating "Auschwitz remains unique. It was perpetrated by Germans in the name of Germany. This truth is immutable and will not be forgotten."[29]
In his remarks to the historians, Weizsäcker said their dispute had prompted accusations that they sought to raise a "multitude of comparisons and parallels" that would cause "the dark chapter of our own history to disappear, to be reduced to a mere episode."[29] Andreas Hillgruber, a historian at Cologne University and one of the instigators of the debate with a book he published in 1986 in which he linked the collapse of the eastern front and the Holocaust, declared himself in full agreement with Weizsäcker, insisting that he had never tried to "relativize" the past.[29]
Unification of Germany
Because of the high esteem in which he was held by Germany's political establishment and in the population,[30] Weizsäcker is so far the only candidate to have stood for elections for the office of President uncontested; he was elected in such a way to a second term of office on 23 May 1989.
Weizsäcker took office for his second presidential term on 1 July 1989. His second term oversaw the end of the Cold War and Reunification of Germany. Upon reunification, Weizsäcker became the first all-German Head of State since Karl Dönitz in May 1945. At midnight on 3 October 1990, during the official festivities held before the Reichstag building in Berlin to mark the moment of the reunification of Germany, President Weizsäcker delivered the only speech of the night, immediately after the raising of the flag, and before the playing of the National Anthem. His brief remarks, however, were almost inaudible, due to the sound of the bells marking midnight, and of the fireworks that were released to celebrate the moment of reunification.[citation needed]
In 1990, Weizsäcker became the first West German head of state to visit Poland. During his four-day visit, he reassured Poles that the newly unified German state would treat their western and northern borders, which include prewar German lands, as inviolable.[31]
In 1992, Weizsäcker gave the eulogy at the state funeral of former Chancellor Willy Brandt at the Reichstag, the first state funeral for a former chancellor in Berlin since the death of Gustav Stresemann in 1929. The funeral was attended by an array of leading European political figures, including French President François Mitterrand, Spanish Prime Minister Felipe Gonzalez and former Soviet President Mikhail S. Gorbachev.[32]
Weizsäcker stretched the traditionally ceremonial position of Germany's president to reach across political, national, and generational boundaries to address a wide range of controversial issues. He is credited with largely being responsible for taking the lead on an asylum policy overhaul after the arson attack by neo-Nazis in Mölln, in which three Turkish citizens died in 1993.[33] He also earned recognition at home and abroad for attending memorial services for the victims of neo-Nazi attacks in Mölln and Solingen. The services were snubbed by Chancellor Helmut Kohl, who dismayed Germans by saying it was not necessary for the government to send a representative.[34]
In March 1994, Weizsäcker attended the Frankfurt premiere of Schindler's List along with the Israeli ambassador, Avi Primor, and the head of Germany's surviving Jewish community, Ignatz Bubis.[35]
To compensate for the delay in the government's move to transfer both the government and the parliament from Bonn to Berlin following the unification of Germany, Weizsäcker declared in April 1993 that he would be performing an increased share of his duties in Berlin.[36] He decided not to wait for the renovation and conversion as the presidential seat of the Kronprinzenpalais (Crown Prince's Palace) at Berlin's Unter den Linden boulevard, and to use instead his existing official residence in West Berlin, the Bellevue Palace beyond Tiergarten park.[36]
As an elder statesman, Weizsäcker long remained involved in politics and charitable affairs in Germany. He was the chair of a commission installed by the then Social Democratic-Green government for reforming the Bundeswehr. Along with Henry A. Kissinger, he supported Richard Holbrooke in creating the American Academy in Berlin in 1994.[37] He was also a member of the Board of Trustees of the Robert Bosch Stiftung.
Weizsäcker served as a member of the Advisory Council of Transparency International.[38] In a letter addressed to Nigeria's military ruler Sani Abacha in 1996, he called for the immediate release of General Olusegun Obasanjo, the former head of state of Nigeria, who had become the first military ruler in Africa to keep his promise to hand over power to an elected civilian government but was later sentenced to 15 years imprisonment.[39]
Weizsäcker also served on many international commissions. He was chairman of the Independent Working Group on the future of the United Nations and was one of three "Wise Men" appointed by European Commission President Romano Prodi to consider the future of the European Union. From 2003 until his death, he was a member of the Advisory Commission on the return of cultural property seized as a result of Nazi persecution, especially Jewish property, led by the former head of the Federal Constitutional Court, Jutta Limbach. In November 2014, Weizsäcker retired as chairman of the Bergedorf Round Table, a discussion forum on foreign policy issues.[40]

Heartbreak Soup
is one rich stew that you will not soon forget!
In a world filled with superhero comics Gilbert Hernandez' Heartbreak Soup is special. It has the audacity to depict simple people dealing with everyday issues, issues that we all feel at some point and can relate to; issues about peoples insecurities, past traumas, world injustices and even feelings of being very small and insignificant as in the case with this Heartbreak Soup, Space Case, which comes from Ten Years of Love and Rockets, Sep. 1992.

In honor of all the sun, fun, and loads of brand new music, I wanted to unveil my remix of "I Could Be The One". This has been a massive tune in my sets lately, leaning on the funkier side of things. Hope it does damage to your dance floor too! HQ here - https://djkue.box.com/s/qoiq2p23w34xrkiji2ax

Rated 3.7 out of 5 by 2287 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Len007 Hotel Staff so helpful A special thank you to Jade who was working on the reception desk during the big Saturday snow storm. She was instrumental in relieving the stress of whether to check out or proceed to the airport by providing us with reservation options. December 16, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by SRSchalk Not my favorite Sheraton This hotel is not the best Sheraton around. The rooms are small, the staff is unfriendly, the maids failed to bring enough towels, even after we requested additional towels, our toilet didn't work properly and there was a bug in the room. July 9, 2012
Rated 2 out of 5 by daver COLD WATER Was given a handicapped room when reservation was guaranteed for a king. Room was clean but queen bed. Cold water in the shower and sink. Place looks very nice but isn't. Will choose other Starwood properties on my upcoming visits to NYC. August 17, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by BizTvlr06 Great hotel and excellent customer service The Sheraton Times Square hotel is in an excellent location. The rooms are comfortable, clean, and the staff exceptional. The staff at the hotel went out of their way to be friendly and took extra steps to help this business traveler out. June 22, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Maureen129 Convenient location, large rooms We really took advantage of the hotels location to many of the great sites in New York. Our room was a generous size not what we expected at all. Any staff we dealt with were always polite & helpful. July 26, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Robynn Good location The only issue I had was a miscommunication in regards to our late check out as a SPG member.Housekeeping wanted us out to clean the room and even had a supervisor tell us it was time to check out. The 3:00 check out was in the computer. October 14, 2012
Rated 2 out of 5 by PMH57 Less than ideal Small room. Construction and noise until 1AM just outside my window. Small fitness area, crowded and only available for an extra fee (with a room rate of nearly $400/d that was a bit much). Also: no free WiFi for that price. Poor value. November 14, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Brian1133 Great Experience This was a new experience get-a-way for our relationship. The opportunity to stay at the Sheraton was something we've never experienced before and it, by far, exceeded expectations. Our stay helped solidify how great it is to visit NYC! September 18, 2012
Rated 2 out of 5 by sadie42839 Not a great Sheraton Rooms are very noisy, you can clearly hear guests/staff in the hallway. Room was not clean upon check-in. $10 fee to use the fitness center. Also, staff seemed pretty disengaged/didn't recognize SPG status almost at all. Rooms are tiny. May 7, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Eddie789 Beautiful Hotel The hotel was very lavish and a in a great location. The entrance was very posh and the rooms were very nice. The beds were incredible and extremely comfortable. I would highly recommend this hotel and most certainly stay another time. January 20, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Adventure50 Great Experience at the Sheraton We had a great stay at the Sheraton New York. Our room had an amazing view of Central Park which is within walking distance. Hotel is also close to shopping and Times Square - great central location. Enjoyed the renovated , clean room. July 27, 2012
Rated 2 out of 5 by IA51012 Late check out The hotel did not consider my request which I made at the time of reservation for late check out. In addition they charge $3.25 per piece for storing the suitcases. This is really not good at all considering the high rate for the room. October 8, 2012
Rated 3 out of 5 by Ken325 Buffet Breakfast I love staying here but frankly the over-priced breakfast buffet was a disappointment. For the cost it is limited and the eggs were cold and the bacon had been out a long time. Would have been best to go outside hotel for a fresh meal. October 19, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by MRD1 Nicely remodeled rooms Hadn't stayed for a few years. Rooms are nicely remodeled, esp. bathroom. For the most part, friendly staff. Front desk continues to be slow with no acknowledgement or apology when one has waited over 5 minutes, even in Preferred line. March 23, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Charlesstancer Excellent Time in times Square Great 5 days at the Sheraton. Staff met all needs. Busy hotel makes it the place to be. The lounge on the 44th floor tops off a great day.Very well priced and excellent location. Less than 5 mins and you are everywhere you want to be. August 27, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by LRTG Good stay at Sheraton on 7th Ave. Check in was easy--I was able to get into the quicker SPG line. Otherwise, it was a long line and not moving quickly. Room was fine--bathroom was basically clean, but is already showing signs of aging after the recent big renovation. December 16, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by lgcr73 Excellent location and very good rooms First stay in New York in a "big" hotel and was very much delighted of everything. Staff at the reception has a great attitude and superb service. They made my stay so much better with the way they treated and responded to my needs. November 8, 2012
Rated 2 out of 5 by Cassidy staff needs training in customer service From the beginning to the end of our stay, the staff (except for one person) was not welcoming, helpful, or a good representative of this hotel. It would appear that you don't really want people to return to your hotel in the future. December 12, 2012
Rated 2 out of 5 by jstravel Oversold hotel was oversold, I ended up in a room type that I didn't reserve. No acknowledgment at check-in that I had SPG status (SPG line ended up being used by all guests, took a long time to check in). Two lightbulbs in the room were out. December 17, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by omarcyto Excellent Hotel My girlfriend an I enjoyed the hotel. The ubication is excellent, only 2 blocks away from Times Square. We loved the room. It was very confortable and modern. We had a little problem with the elevator, but the staff solve it quickly. March 4, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by AlanLisaDallas Nice stay My wife & I stayed for 5 days -- the rooms and staff were excellent. The location is good too - walking distance to most everything, but not as busy as Times Square. Check-in with Rirani was a pleasure - she solved our problems! April 22, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Rick13 One Week in New York Enjoyed our stay, location was excellent, staff were very helpful and would recommend to fellow travellers. Would like to have seen a hot tub or pool, especially after a long day of sight seeing and walking ( you will get sore feet) May 28, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by jslny wonderful service a wonderful reservationist Alex Olpindo, so considerate of all your needs and polite and respectful to your needs. Covered all upon check in. Pleasant man..... August 18, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by MGG2012 Hotel needs better housekeeping and meal choices Unfortunately, we had too many problems with room cleanliness. Housekeeping staff was abrupt when I tried to address the concerns. The concierge breakfast and evening snacks have been greatly reduced and we were very disappointed. December 2, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by Rojulmat Delightful I was hesitant after reading the reviews but I went ahead due to proximity of hotel to Ziegfled theater. We were given a room on the 50th floor with 2 queen beds I requested and check in was a breeze. will definitely go back here! August 28, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by christinna Beyond my expectations As much as I love New York, I always expect a bit of attitude at the hotels. The Sheraton was so wonderful, people were friendly and overly accommodating. I thought I was in Iowa! I'd stay there again. The manager, Alex, is a gem! July 2, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Traveler311 Great hotel in great location We love this hotel for few reasons... The staff is very nice and accommodating. The location is fantastic, close to Time Square and theaters. Has a club lounge that adds to our comfort. Rooms and showers with new and great design. February 19, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Howe1952 The Club Lounge a Nice Surprise This was my first visit to this Sheraton. The lounge at the end of the hall with breakfast and cocktail food items, beverages available all day, and access to computers was a nice surprise and made staying here a great experience. April 8, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Dee11 Great Location! This hotel was very clean with a spacious bedroom. The location was perfect - walking distance to Central Park, Rockefeller Center and Times Square. I am so glad that we chose this location for a mother/daughter weekend get-away. July 27, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by RALPHIE62 Much improved I had avioded this Sheraton for years because of the cheap furnishings and overall inadequacy of the rooms. At long last they've had a meaningful renovation and added comfort and eye appeal. I'd recommend now and will return. April 17, 2014

Imagine growing up in an environment where everyone around you expects you to fail. Imagine making it to your 21st birthday, only to realize all your best friends are either behind bars or six feet deep. If you grew up in Watts, California, like rapper Jay Rock, the gang and drug infested streets are not imaginary, they are real. Knowing he has come from so far to get to where he is today, Jay Rock's not about to keep it to himself, "Where I come from man, I'm gonna keep it real: I'm the first young cat outta my projects, to get signed to a major label." On his new official single, All My Life, Rock hooks up with some cross country friends, Lil' Wayne and producers Cool & Dre to jointly bring light to a harsh reality.

Yes, they issued Continentals
Submitted by Republicae on Wed, 11/06/2013 - 13:40. Permalink
Yes, they issued Continentals to the point that the value of the colonies paper currency became worth 1/1,000th of its original face value by the end of the war. That's Scrip for you!
As far as waging the War goes, the French outspent the Continental Congress, spending about 1.3 billion livres in support of the American Revolution against the British Crown. Congress issued $241,552,780 in Continental scrip currency, thus you can readily see where the real money came from to wage the War. So, could the War have been won without the Continental scrip, most likely.

Our special coverage of the closest race for years
Explore the personal stories of Syrian refugees in Lebanon
28 Jun 2010 06:34 GMT
However, Juan Barahona, the leader of the anti-coup movement that staged months of protests last year, dismisses Lobo's conspiracy talk as a media ploy to gain sympathy and create a false impression of independence from the business community.
"This regime is controlled by business. It's a continuation of the coup," Barahona said.
Unsolved killings
A string of assassinations have remain unresolved since the coup, including that of nine journalists, both supporters and opponents of the government.
Motives can be hard to determine in a country plagued both by political tensions and brutal drug gangs whose hired assassins roam the streets on motorcycles.
The violence, and Lobo's allegations of a coup conspiracy, threaten to undermine Honduras' reputation as a thriving democracy.
They also hurt any chance for the Organisation of American States, which suspended the Central American country after the June 28, 2009, coup, to welcome them back.
Zelaya, who, like Lobo, comes from the ranks of the landed rich, angered the business elite in early 2009 with a campaign to rewrite the constitution, promising the poor they would get a voice in shaping the future of the country.
When Zelaya ignored a supreme court order to cancel a referendum on the grandiose plan, soldiers flew him into exile in his pajamas at gunpoint.
A year later, Lobo, who was elected in November and took over from the coup-installed interim government in January, finds himself grappling with the same tensions between rich and poor.
Under pressure
Eight months into his presidency, Lobo is under pressure from the US to promote reconciliation and under fire from business leaders and politicians for even referring to Zelaya's removal as a "coup".
The country's conservatives, who say he was legally removed from office through a congressional vote, are also upset with Lobo for announcing that he would not oppose another attempt at an assembly to rewrite the constitution.
Tensions rose when Lobo struck a deal in April with farm workers who occupied thousands of acres of palm oil plantations in the fertile Aguan valley.
Lobo offered to have the government buy part of the occupied land and turn it over to the squatters to prevent more violence, but when the owner demanded too high a price, Lobo's agriculture minister threatened expropriation.
Officials allege that during the months following the land deal, members of Lobo's own conservative National Party held at least three meetings at private homes in Tegucigalpa, the capital, to discuss "radical action" against the president.
"When members of the political sector and businessmen with economic means start talking like that, you have to take pertinent measures," Alvarez, the security minister, said.
However, the government has not taken action beyond Lobo's public warning.
The political intrigue echoes last year's coup: Zelaya's own centrist Liberal Party and the business community turned against him when he started reaching out to Hugo Chavez, the Venezuelan president.

Enjoy the little things in life, for one day you may look back and realise they were big things.
I always feel so balanced after talking to my wonderful RB mate. This morning was no different.
With a skip in my step I happily spent a couple of hours playing taxi driver to 2 of my children, and working out how I was going to have a bit of fun with my new lens. Please forgive me…it's one of those dandelion & water drops images , but it's something you must try out with the macro lens) The water was in fact rose water. The rooms smells divine now. :-)
Equipment: Canon 40D, Canon 100mm macro f2.8L ISM lens
Converted to B&W in Lightroom 2 and a touch of texture to the side, added in Photoshop CS3
