"We have started legal proceedings and if it is proved in court that the construction is illegal, the ashram can be declared government land and seized," said Pawan.
The fresh trouble for Asaram emerged even as he spent his fourth day in jail following his arrest on charges of sexually assaulting a 16-year-old girl.
The self-styled godman's ashram on Circular Road is built on around four bighas (1.6 acres). It has a sermon hall, a parikrama marg, rooms and a separate residence for him. Local businessman and director of Bharatpur Grih Nirman Society Uddhav Das Arora has alleged the ashram encroached on his plot.
"He (Arora) showed us the map and prima facie, the plot and road have been encroached on," Pawan said.
The ashram authorities dismissed allegations of encroachment.
Shiva Bhai, a supporter of Asaram, said the plot was given to the ashram by late Congress MLA RP Sharma seven or eight years ago.
"Before the paperwork could be completed, he passed away," said Shiva.

Indie Bravo!
Filipinos going to Cannes
Director Joanna Vasquez Arong and producer Bianca Balbuena's project-in-development "The Sigbin Chronicles" has been selected for the Fabriques de Cinemas du Monde, to be held during the Cannes film festival in France in May. Balbuena explained that the Fabriques is "a project market… that allows the director and producer to pitch their project to possible international partners."
Its website noted that the program is open to "talented young filmmakers… working on their first or second film." Balbuena said that "Sigbin" is Arong's first fiction film, although her documentaries have been featured in international festivals.
"Sigbin," Balbuena related, is "a creature in Cebuano mythology that's both feared and coveted." "Joanna and I are both from Cebu. The film is about how the sigbin figures in the lives of three men—a revolutionary, a hitman and an artist—in their quest for freedom," she said.
"Sigbin" is also a recipient of the 2012 Hubert Bals Script Development Fund, a grant from the Rotterdam fest. Bayani San Diego Jr.

Discussion in 'Fly Swaps' started by Steve Saville, Apr 26, 2009.
Anyone know if the swap is still open? A little late I know but I didn't see it until today.
The swap is closed but as soon as we finish this one, look for another.
That's pretty cool. It Looks a lot like a couple of others I've seen so you must be on the right track. It should fish.
I would be up for that, the Saltwater arrival in our area is August, Fresh water S rivers open Aug 16 and should be RED hot by the first week of Sept. I have a pink and white egg sucking leech that plays hell with them....
I would like to know how many are in and when we need to be done tying....
I'm done... they should go in the mail Monday.
im done should go in the mail tommarow
I've finished my other swap committments, had a nice fishing outing, met a bunch of WFFers, collected my materials for this swap and am ready to become one with the vise. I'll get mine done this week and get them in the mail.
Done with 10. We need to tie 11 or 12? The last one will go on a size 10 scud hook due to the lack of SS-15's...
I'm finished. Flies will be mailed soon.
Christ, I'm behind Connor H. I am now a pathetic little man. I'll have mine done by this weekend and in the mail. Steve, have you sent me an address? I don't recall getting it yet.
Finished, they will be in the mail by wednesday. They are a little bigger than I was wanting to tie, I tied these on a size 4. I have no expierance with pinks so hopefully they will catch some fish.
Hey Sean k,
They look good to me. If I was a pink, I'd be all over that.
I can't wait to fish it.
There are twelve in the swap so send eleven. When I set it up I didn't think about a baker's dozen for twelve flies.
A view of my flies. These are tied on Gamakatsu S-15 hooks, size 2.
tasty bits fellas
mine will be done this week
I think I may have to start all over. Kerfwappie's flies arrived yesterday and all I can say is that the bar is really high. If they fish as well as they look, it will be a great run. Thanks for the great job Eric!
done with my flies and should be out this week
Hey Steve,
You better not change your flies man. I'm lookin' forward to fishin' your pattern. It's a killer. They are the shizznick.
Alright all, found a couple of photos of a sample I wanted to try out. Here is what it looks like. I finally sat down and tied some up. I hope they'll do, they look pretty flashy.
Right on Ed! I think those will work!!

CALDWELL -- Lake Lowell's days as a favorite recreational boating destination in Canyon County could be numbered if the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has its way. The federal agency released a draft proposal Friday for the management of Lake Lowell. It didn't take long for state and local leaders to slam it.
Jennifer Brown-Scott with the Deer Flat National Wildlife Refuge says the proposed draft is a compromise between recreational boaters and wildlife.
This isn't the end, this is only the beginning. Folks have a lot of opportunities to comment and get their thoughts heard, said Brown-Scott. The more we hear from folks the better plan we get.
And that s the reason for another round of public comment that begins June 3, 2011. The public will be able to comment on four options, referred to as Alternatives 1-4, which propose the future of Deer Flat National Wildlife Refuge.
Fish and Wildlife must work within a 1997 law that provides parameters for wildlife refuges. It was that law led them to the four options.
Those comments that help us [work within that law], obviously, those are the ones that we are able to use, said Brown-Scott.
While there are four options, there are two that have garnered the most attention, the Alternatives one and three.
Brown-Scott leans to Alternative three, which limits water sports to a portion of the lake, and prohibits non-wildlife dependent group activities like high school jogging and sailing regattas.
We have to make sure that the comments that we're using, are making a plan, that again, leads us to what the law tells us to do, which is to make sure that ultimately we're not detracting from the purpose as a refuge, said Brown-Scott.
Canyon County Commissioner David Ferdinand argues the purpose of the refuge and Lake Lowell.
It wasn't a wildlife refuge when it was first built [in 1906], said Ferdinand. In 1997 it became a wildlife refuge first, and a recreation area, not at all.
Ferdinand prefers the first plan, or the way Lake Lowell has been managed since the early 1900's.
We were trying to manage this together over the several years. That's been successful. Prove to us that it didn't work. It's worked so far the last 102 years, said Ferdinand.
Ferdinand says his county is heavily invested into the lake - to the tune of 20 million dollars. He says they put in the docks, managed the parks and provided education to the public.
Do I think that they would take our comments? I'm sure they're writing our comments down, said Ferdinand. What they're going to do with them remains to be seen.
Ferdinand says he and the other Canyon County Commissioners are working with Idaho s congressional leaders to try and get the 1997 law changed, but that will take some time.
In the mean time, the public has several opportunities to have its voice heard. The first is Friday and Saturday June 3-4 at the Lake Lowell Visitor s Center. The public comment period ends July 29.
When it ends, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service will take the comments and create a new draft. The plan is to present the new draft in the spring of 2012. That will follow more public comment over the summer. The final draft would then be presented in the fall of 2012.
Until that final draft, boating at Lake Lowell will stay the same, meaning no changes this summer.
Three of Idaho's congressional leaders also weigh in on these proposed changes.
Here are the entire statements from Senators Mike Crapo and Jim Risch, as well as Congressman Raul Labrador.
Senator Mike Crapo
Lake Lowell has a one-hundred year track record of outstanding performance when it comes to wildlife protection, and use by recreationalists, sportsmen, irrigators and a host of multiple user groups, said Crapo. While I will review this latest proposal from the agency in depth, I encourage the public to again weigh in and I pledge that I will continue to work with citizens, local leaders and my Delegation partners and the agency to help craft a permanent solution.
I am disappointed with today's announcement because it appears this may be a case of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service proposing a solution that is in search of a problem. My feeling can be generally categorized as 'if it isn't broken, don't fix it.' Based on this preliminary recommendation, it appears that the agency may simply be satisfying a bureaucratic requirement that ignores the facts on the ground.
Senator Jim Risch
When Deer Flat NWR was created more than 100 years ago it was originally a refuge, said Risch. However, it use has changed drastically over the last century and today the community successfully balances the needs of all users and recreational use has expanded greatly. The Fish and Wildlife Service needs to recognize that reality.
I am particularly disappointed that FWS made a decision to ratchet back the recreational use enjoyed by so many people in Canyon County over the years. It is critical that the FWS reevaluate its proposals so that it maintains recreational use at least at current levels.
Congressman Raul Labrador
I am disappointed in the proposed alternatives from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service for the future uses of Lake Lowell because they all, in one form or another, further restrict long established uses without specific scientific basis, said Labrador.
Local government, particularly the Idaho Department of Fish & Game and the Canyon County Commission, have a long and admirable track record of managing the lake and protecting the wildlife that uses the lake as a refuge.
These new proposals totally ignore this and are completely unacceptable to me. I will be consulting with my Delegation colleagues on whatever steps we can take to ensure these draft proposals go nowhere except into the dust heap of history.

Your Planet in 7 Seconds: Float Festival in Madurai, South India
Take seven seconds and float away in this spectacular Indian festival.
Sum up Asia in a paragraph? Good luck. Positively massive by just about every measure, the sole thread that unites this diverse continent is the sheer diversity of experiences it presents to travellers. Arid deserts and towering peaks; secluded temples and bustling markets; tiny villages and sprawling cities; ancient history and cutting-edge modernity; teeming crowds and places so remote you won't find another human being around for miles—Asia encompasses all this and so, so, so much more. Don't expect to absorb it all; dive on in and let it seep into your skin.
Take seven seconds and float away in this spectacular Indian festival.
From the Canadian Rockies to Finland's Lake District, we searched Instagram for seven stargazers who've turned staying up all night into an art form.

Wozniacki's win is a dreamy result for McIlroy
"It was a little strange for me," she added of the enforced break, "but I think it was useful for my head."
Kuznetsova's ranking has dipped to 75th, but she has beaten two top 20 players at lead up tournaments since her return at the beginning of this season - No. 10 Caroline Wozniacki and No. 18 Julia Georges.
Her section of the draw has opened up in Melbourne, too, with seventh-seeded Sara Errani's loss on Tuesday. But Kuznetsova isn't looking beyond her next match against the 26th-seeded Hsieh Su-wei of Taiwan.
"The first matches (back) were really complicated for me," she said. "Your mind is a little afraid, your legs cannot go."
VIKA AND SERENA: Top-seeded Victoria Azarenka got some sympathy from her biggest rival, Serena Williams, after a bad pedicure forced her to withdraw before their scheduled semifinal at a tuneup tournament in Brisbane two weeks ago.
The Belarusian underwent a minor surgical procedure to remove part of her toenail after a pedicure caused an infection in her right big toe.
"I was talking to Serena that day," Azarenka said after her first-round Australian Open win over Romanian Monica Niculescu. "She had the same thing happen to her before. I now understand what it is, and I'm going to be really careful next time."
Azarenka didn't have much sympathy for Williams, however, when told after her match that the 15-time major winner had fallen and twisted her ankle during her 6-0, 6-0 drubbing of Romanian Edina Gallovits-Hall.
"I heard she won love and love, so what kind of injury are we talking about?" she said, in jest.
Azarenka may be the defending champion, but Williams is considered by many to be the tournament favorite. Top-ranked Azarenka said she wasn't even recognized by an Australian Open security guard when she tried to enter the facility one day, until she pointed to her champion's portrait on the wall.
"I was walking, and he's like, `You got your pass?' There was my picture (on the wall). I said, `There is my pass. There it is,'" she said, laughing.

'The Walking Dead' season premiere sneak peek: 'What Lies Ahead'Add to Favorites | The Walking Dead
We're almost there. Or, rather, they're almost here. Zombies, that is. On Sunday (Oct. 16), "The Walking Dead" returns to AMC with a super-sized 90-minute season premiere that is -- we are pleased to report -- every bit as compelling as the show's first blockbuster season.
In a new sneak peek, Andrea ( Laurie Holden) gives Dale ( Jeffrey DeMunn) -- who pretty much saved her life in the season 1 finale when he dashed her plans to commit suicide by sitting in an exploding Atlanta CDC headquarters -- a piece of her mind.
"I wanted to die my way," says Andrea. "Not torn apart by drooling freaks. That was my choice."
She does have a point.
Anyhow, based on the clip, we know that Dale, Andrea and Rick ( Andrew Lincoln) are somewhere on a highway -- and Andrea's in need of a gun. Bet we know why.
"The Walking Dead" premieres Sunday night at 10 p.m. ET on AMC.

The experiment showed that greater forces were required to move the tip in the transverse direction. Using molecular dynamics simulations, collaborators Erio Tosatti and Xiaohua Zhang at the International Centre for Theoretical Physics, International School for Advanced Studies and CNR Democritos Laboratory analyzed the phenomenon to understand what was happening.
"In principle, there seems to be no reason why the frictional forces required to move the AFM tip would be different in one direction," Riedo noted. "But the theory confirmed that this 'hindered rolling' and soft mode movement of the nanotubes are the sources of the higher friction when the tip moves transversely."
Because the nanotube-tip system is so simple, it offers an ideal platform for studying basic friction principles, which are important to all moving systems.
"This kind of system gives you the opportunity to explore friction using an ideal experiment so you can really probe the energy dissipation mechanism," Riedo explained. "The system is so simple that you can distinguish between the dissipation mechanisms, which you can't usually do well in macro-scale systems."
Based on the molecular dynamics simulations, Riedo and Tosatti believe that the friction anisotropy will be very different in chiral nanotubes versus non-chiral left-to-right symmetric nanotubes.
"Because of the chirality, the tip moves in a screw-like fashion, creating hindered rolling even for longitudinal sliding," Tosatti said. "Thus, the new measuring technique may suggest a simple way to sort the nanotubes; among the next steps in the research will be to show experimentally that this can be done."
In addition to the researchers already menti

Tsonga advances to Australian Open quarterfinals
More News from Associated Press
MELBOURNE — Seventh-seeded Jo-Wilfried Tsonga stayed on track for a potential quarterfinal with Roger Federer when he beat fellow Frenchman Richard Gasquet 6-4, 3-6, 6-3, 6-2 in a fourth-round match Monday at the Australian Open.
Tsonga, who lost the 2008 Australian Open final to Novak Djokovic, would meet Federer in the final eight if the 17-time Grand Slam singles winner beats Milos Raonic of Canada in a fourth-round match later Monday at Rod Laver Arena.
Although Tsonga and Gasquet have met twice before at a Grand Slam, including here in 2008, it was the first time in the Open era that two Frenchmen ranked in the top 10 have played each other at a major. Their career record is now even at 4-4.

Since its founding, the food bank has distributed more than 145 million pounds of food to charitable feeding organizations across the 24 counties it serves — including nine counties in south Alabama, eight counties in south Mississippi and seven counties in the panhandle of Florida. In 2013, the food bank distributed more than 17.5 million pounds of food to over 220,000 individuals through our network of more than 400 partner agencies – consisting of church pantries, soup kitchens and other nonprofit organizations.In addition to food distribution, the food bank operates various nutrition programs for low-income families including the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), formerly known as Food Stamps, and child nutrition programs. Since the first child nutrition program began, these programs have continued to expand and now include over 135 Afterschool Snack and Summer Food Service Program (SFSP) sites which support nearly 7,000 children. The food bank also supports approximately 1,700 children through the Backpack Program providing at risk children identified by teachers with food for the weekend. The food bank has a community garden and offers programs to educate the community on proper nutrition, environmental responsibility, and basic gardening practices. The onsite garden has two sections: an Education garden and an Adopt-a-Plot garden. The Education Garden at the food bank consists of 14 raised beds and 2 pallet gardens. We also have an Education Pavilion with a vegetable washing station used for gardening seminars. The Adopt-a-Plot garden consists of 39 plots that can be adopted by the public with the agreement that they will employ organic methods and donate at least 50% of their yield to the food bank.

Tuukka Rask expected to start for Bruins in first matchup of Tyler Seguin and Steven Stamkos
|11.22.10 at 2:39 pm ET
Tuukka Rask was first off the ice on Monday, indicating he'll be between the pipes when the Bruins take on Mike Smith and the Lightning in Tampa Bay. Guy Boucher's club is currently riding a three-game win streak.
– The B's are 7-1-0 on the road, with their lone loss coming on Nov. 5 in Washington. They have 10 goals in their last two road games, seven of which came in their come-from-behind victory over the Penguins on Nov. 10.
– The Lightning are 4-2-1 at home, and 2-2-1 in their last five home games.
– Michael Ryder saw a dip in his playing time on Saturday. Ryder entered the contest averaging 14:01 a night, but got just 9:50 of ice time. It was the first time all season that Ryder played less than 12 minutes, let alone 10.
– Between the two starting goalies tonight, just one goal has been allowed in their last starts. Rask blanked the Panthers in Boston while Smith allowed one goal on 30 shots against the Sabers in Buffalo.
– Steven Stamkos is out of his mind. He's got 19 goals this season, with Sidney Crosby and Alexander Semin a distant five goals behind him for the lead league.
Stamkos had 23 goals as a rookie, and given all the parallels between he and Tyler Seguin, this scribe is holding firm on the projection that Seguin finishes the season in that ballpark. Seguin is on pace for 18.
– After one game of having Seguin as a third line winger, Fluto Shinzawa of the Boston Globe reports that Seguin will swap spots with Jordan Caron and jump up to the second line. The initial reaction is that this is a great move for multiple reasons. For starters, it returns Seguin to the generation-spanning line that looked so intriguing in the preseason and puts the young scorer on a line with two of the top-three guys on the team in assists. Mark Recchi leads the B's will 11, while Patrice Bergeron is tied for second with Nathan Horton (10).
This move will also be good for the team in that it gets a slumping Caron off the second line. He hasn't scored in 10 games, picking up just two assists over that period.
Expect the lines to look like this:
Lucic – Krejci – Horton
Seguin – Bergeron – Recchi
Caron – Wheeler – Ryder
Marchand – Campbell – Thornton
– It should be interesting to see how Rask, who is tied for third in the league with a .939 save percentage, fares against an offense as productive as Tampa Bay's. Rask had a 41-save shutout the last time out against the Panthers, but the Tampa Bay is averaging 3.1 goals per game (5th in the NHL) and have totaled 14 goals in their three-game winning streak.
– Special teams could be key in this game, as it matches the third-best power play in the league (Tampa Bay scores on 24.4 of its power plays) against the Bruins's 89.9 penalty kill percentage, which is second in the league.

Jun 2011 - $42.00
When we checked in, we were charged an extra $10.00 for our own golf cart AND our tow vehicle! We were not told about these charges when we made our reservations and no one could explain why we were being charged extra for the vehicle that got us here. My in-laws drove a motor home in and they were charged extra as well. (No additional vehicle). There was no Wi-Fi available, even at the lodge we tried to connect and where unsuccessful. Cell phone service was non-existant. The staff was NOT friendly at all and extremely rude when we "broke a law." There was no mini-golf as they bulldozed that. No dog run and the dog beach is a 4 foot area with a large pipe in the water that our dog cut her paw on trying to swim. The dock they show kids jumping off of, is now old and rickety. Some sites were VERY small and tight. Couldn't put up our awning all the way. On the positive side, there is lots of shade and large oak trees. Family pool was nice and would have a beautiful view of the lake if it didn't have the large wooden privacy fence all the way around. Many live ins, the exterior of the cabins looked cute. We won't return as the staff and their "HOA police" were enough to frustrate our family! - highmaintenancecamper
Jul 2010 - $71.00
In July, 2010 I stayed for a week in one of the 38 cabins at this resort. The cabin was okay but should have been a little nicer for $500/wk. The resort seemed nice but the staff made us feel very unwelcome. They have many petty little rules that they enforce with great vigor. At check-in, the person at the gate gave me a parking pass and said, "We tow cars frequently so make sure this is displayed at all times in your vehicle." They could have said this in a much nicer way. Later in the week, I had a relative visiting and went to the gate to arrange a pass for them. They acted like this was a terrible imposition and began reciting all their concerns about another vehicle entering their resort. They warned me that if I gave my gate code to my visitor that I would be evicted. Geez, talk about over-reacting. They have a 10 mph speed limit in the park which they enforce with great delight on all vehicles including golf carts and bikes. We had a large family dinner and one car had one tire half on the road. One of the staff came in and told us to move it NOW. We said we would get it right after dinner and they said, "No, get it NOW". The whole place just exudes an aura of overstrict enforcement of petty little rules. Lastly, cell reception is almost non-existent in this resort. AT&T had zero. Sprint had zero. Verizon had enough for texts about 50% of the time but no voice capability. These problems may be leading to a mass exodus of owners. There were a LOT of for sale signs on the RV slabs and on the park models. I won't be returning. I just hope that I get my $100 security deposit back. - Easycamper4
Apr 2010 - $32.00
I think this is a great campground. They have so much to choose from and many things for the kids to do. They do candy bar bingo and cake walks. My younger ones love to come here due to all the activities they have. There are a few rude people in the park, but for the most part we felt very welcome and will come back many times. - CamperFamily72

Read all of the negative comments and found the Staff to be very friendly and had no issues as some had posted. Park was clean and had easy access except the site we were on (#35), it had a tree where awning would have deployed! Cell service was very poor as in the rest of the National Forest. - air28

Great Park. Well maintained. Nice swimming area. Separate launch area for registered campers only. Easy entry to sites. Will return. Cell service was ok but data for the web was spotty. - bunni
Apr 2014 - $22.00
First the good. Easy access in and out for large rigs. Our site was level and most seemed to be as well. Plenty of space between sites and some have a common grassy area in between and in back for kids to play. Bathrooms were clean and functional. Springs are about a 10 minute walk from RV sites or a quick bike ride. You can also drive to the springs with plenty of parking. There is a small grocery store just down the street and you can get to Walmart/Publix in Ocala in about 35 minutes or so. There is no laundry facility. A laundry mat is two minutes down the road from main gate. Now the bad. We've been coming to Salt Springs since the 80's although not much recently. The current management is terrible. Within five minutes of arriving at our site and while still attempting to get the coach lined up properly we were approached the first time by the "staff" on a golf cart. The ladies took several minutes explaining the parking procedure in great detail to include the tire rule about how many of your tires can be on the dirt and off the pavement. This first lecture occurred while these ladies were affixed to their golf cart on the grass! The camping trip included multiple families and lots of children and equipment. The next several days included more visits by the campground staff (work campers from American Land & Leisure?) who were quick to point out each and every violation of their over 30 rules. Our violations included young kids roaring with laughter at 10:05 when quiet time is at 10, and more serious violations of parking on the grass. There are too many stories of these encounters to list here. The oldest child in our large group was 11. There were 20 plus kids running around and 10 plus RV sites reserved. The staff here has or is trying to turn this place into a cemetery. The staff behavior was witnessed by a lot of people both in and outside of our party with amazement. They are a bunch of militant retirees riding around on carts just waiting to display their disdain for laughter and other people. They appear to cater to other seniors who stay in their RV's for 23 hours a day and only come out to walk a two pound dog or leave in their cars. We'll be addressing our concerns with American Land & Leisure and the National Park Service and won't return under the current system and neither will any of the others. - s1a12

Rated 2 out of 5 by pg11 Left message for general manager did'nt call me back I left my room at 7:30 am need to go up to the club level for a coffee and a peice of toast. I wasnt back down to the lobby until 8:00am. It took 30 minutes only 2 of the 6 elevators worked. This hotel needs alot of help, its tired, the staff didnt care when I first approached the staff in the lobby. Poor show Sheraton Centre. May 31, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by Ryan4711 Reconsidering my loyalty to this hotel I have stayed at this property 20-25 nights per year for the last 4-5 years and this was my worst experience. When I arrived, the room I had booked was not available and a non-suitable option was originally proposed. It was only after asking for a rate reduction that something suitable was found. The TV's in the B&B lounge did not work properly the entire week (how long does it take to fix TV's) and the elevators were an embarrassment with no explanation provided. May 31, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by MichaelP Do Not Stay Here Rooms are dirty; service is poor; elevators down to 2 total as a repairman walkout in process; overpriced for sure compared to any other hotel. May 30, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by Winemaker72 not enthusiastic I spent 2 weeks at Sheraton City centre Toronto, located at the 36th floor, and I can't say that has been an outstanding stay, because of lift issue: over 6 elevators only 2 were working all the others were out of service, conclusion was like a roulette getting down! May 30, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by ar201047 Nice Lobby but rooms need upgrading The rooms definitely need some upgrading. Furthermore, the rooms need more electrical outlets/plugs that are easily accessible. May 29, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by Iggy13 Charles Ighorewo, Bell Canada's Expectations Exceeded Good morning Arjun, I just wanted to inform you that my stay at your establishment for the first time from May 13 – 17, 2013 was pretty impressive from a customer service standpoint. From the time I arrived at your hotel your staff was very polite and helpful in getting myself and my things organized into my appointed room with a great view by the way as well. They made me feel at home if that is a correct term to describe how I felt throughout my 4 night stay... I will definitely be staying at your hotel from now on whenever I am in the GTA Region for work and will recommend you to my friends, family, and of course business colleagues. The last thing I would add is that the room was pretty old but it was overlooked once again by the overwhelming customer service which made everything okay. Take care and enjoy your summer season! May 28, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by isusername They lost my reservation... I called the reservation line a few weeks before check-in to book a room. The person I spoke to was courteous and quick. The reservation was done in very little time, and with a confirmation number put into my computer, I thought I was good to go. I thought it was odd that I didn't get a confirmation email, but I was busy and it fell out of my mind. Fast forward a few weeks later to the check-in desk, and there is no record of my reservation. The person at the desk was patient and professional, trying many different ways to locate my reservation. I accessed my computer and realized that I didn't save the file in which I wrote the confirmation number. I call my bank; they have no record of any pre-authorization or charges to my credit card. Was I going crazy? Did I imagine making the reservation? I realized one last place I could look: my cell phone. Sure enough, there was the record of my call to the reservation line. I called it back; yep - it was the Sheraton reservation line; I didn't book with a different hotel. But of course, they had no record of my previous call, either. Realizing the only evidence Starwood had was on a call centre server somewhere in North America, I booked a new reservation. It went smoothly (except for my invoice having my address messed up and my name not even capitalized), and the rest of the stay was satisfactory. Too bad that it was tainted with 30 minutes of stress, near panic, and defeat at the start. May 27, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by DrLawrence worst night sleep I usually get the best sleep at a hotel, but there were young folks in the hallways who had clearly been drinking, and security wasn't very efficient about clearing up the matter. Then there was some kind of construction going on in the building that caused a rippling sound effect. Again, staff had the noise stopped, but it would resume. This all occurred until 3 am! May 27, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Doug Heating Heating thermostat was broken. Otherwise this is a very good hotel May 21, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by ACNotWorking Horrible Customer service The A/C on my room was not working, which I report the first night, they said that they will send someone to check, but they never show up to check, by chance the air start working for a while but then stop, at 3 in the morning I call again for then to check the air because it was hot on the room, again the A/C start working again for a little while so I was able to sleep, the next morning we go to front desk and report again the A/C problem which they said they will check. We get back to the Hotel around 7pm and go to the room and the A/C was still not working, we call again and they said they willl send someone, 2 hours later they haven't show up so we call again, an hour later they haven't show up, so we call one more time and finally they show up around 10.30pm and they barely look and the A/C and notice it was damage and that it won't work, that tells me that they didn't check it at all before. At 11pm they change us to another room. So my problem was not that the A/C was broken, that could happend and there is no way to prevent that, but the fact that we call several times for then to check and they never show up, that for me is unnaceptable, Sheraton should be 5 stars experience but for my that weekend I felt as I was staying on a highway 2 start Motel And another think is that they don't have parking for guests, what kind of 5 start Hotel has no parking, I have to part on a public parking in front of the Hotel May 21, 2013

Rated 4 out of 5 by Lindsay157 Very good staff We had a weekend bachelorette planned and three blocks from the hotel we got in an accident. We didn't try to use this to our advantage at the front desk or anything but the staff were so sweet and upgraded us to a suite, accommodated every specific request we had and even sent us up some wine with a nice note to have a better weekend! The rooms were great, hotel was beautiful and up to date. RIGHT beside the Eaton Center so look out to those husbands that don't want to go shopping. Room prices were competitive and reasonable for downtown. Wasn't too hard to drive to either. Highly recommend this hotel. Enjoy! May 20, 2013

Rated 5 out of 5 by ChristineN Fast, Efficient & Friendly! Check in was a breeze! The room and beds were great, too. Only thing in the room that was a bit off putting were stains in the carpet (esp. a big one). We only stayed one night, but enjoyed the convenience of the location and friendly staff answered the few questions we had. :) P.S. Don't know where valet parking keeps the cars overnight but mine showed up with muddy paw prints all over it. It would have been nice for $48 dollars that it showed up clean as it was when it arrived!?! May 20, 2013

Rated 1 out of 5 by Frustrated Incredibly Disappointing Stay I stayed overnight at the Sheraton Centre Toronto with my wife and 2 small children, aged 4 and 7. When I made the reservation I was promised 2 adjoining rooms, one with a king bed and the other with 2 double beds. I also requested hypoallergenic bedding. Upon check-in I was told I had 2 rooms that weren't adjoined, and only one of the rooms had the requested bedding. When I expressed concern the attendant tried to rectify the situation. He couldn't accommodate my initial request, so instead I was given adjoining rooms with 2 double beds. This was an inconvenience, but I wasn't about to make an issue of it. If that wasn't bad enough, there was an incredibly loud vibration noise coming from the pipes within the walls of one of my bathrooms. This noise persisted the entire night. In addition, the climate control in the bedrooms failed to produce the heat that we set the thermostat to. Worst of all, when I went to retrieve my car from valet, the attendants couldn't locate my key. I had to wait close to an hour before my car was provided to me. As it turned out, one of the valet drivers reportedly left my key in his pocket and left the premises the night prior with it. Management scrambled to locate the driver and instruct him to return to the hotel with my key. Of course I complained about all of this and was told that I would be reimbursed for the valet parking and one of the 2 rooms I booked. While the gesture is appreciated, this experience was totally unacceptable. I expect a response from upper management. May 19, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by Mike1970 Poor service and unclean room I dialed guest services and asked for a room change at night due to some strong noises right outside my room. It took 4 calls over a period of 90 minutes before I could talk to someone. And this is only because I made a scene the last time and insisted on speaking to the manager of the hotel. Furthermore, the rooms was unclean. I even tried to motivate the maid to do better by being nice to her and give her tips, but, even then, it remained dirty, especially the bathtub. May 19, 2013

Rated 1 out of 5 by ginger35 This hotel was disappointing Having booked 4 months prior to our stay, it was very disappointing to be stuck on the 6th flr. requiring a trolly to access out rm. Our view overlooked treetops and the beginning stage of road repair. The current $99. a rm promo was not honoured as " this does not apply to you..."; our bathroom counter top was stained and looked dirty, bed pillows were yellow stained, covered with white slip covers, the bright spot light perched on the top, front corner of city hall, shone in our room; we had the choice of closing the curtains to the light and air exchange or leaving them open to breath non-stagnant air. The only staff members that greeted us graciously were the valet attendants. Their "welcome" and "do come again" statements seemed genuine. May 14, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by Andies27 This hotel is too busy! This hotel is clearly under-staffed or mis-managed. The check-in & concierges lines are always packed and the lobby simply has too much foot traffic from all direction. The rooms need some update & TLC. Also, I lined up at the SPG counter and was told it's for higher level members only, but this was not clearly indicated anywhere. May 13, 2013

Rated 5 out of 5 by HappyStarwoodFan Excellent Hotel with great Staff My second time at this hotel and they did a great job of starwood recognition. Was upgraded to an awesome suite that seemed to be the size of 3 regular rooms. My guests that came with me had a gluten allergy and the staff at the lounge were helpful in finding her something she was able to eat. The best thing though was that the next day she was back at the lounge, a different staff member automatically came up to her to offer gluten free snacks without her asking for it. Well done lounge staff and well done Sheraton Centre Toronto! May 6, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Nelly71 Great Downtown stay This hotel was a hotel that was reasonable priced for downtown Toronto. We walked to two different Jays game and the Hockey Hall of Fame. Everything is in a reasonable walking distance and the staff is friendly and knowledgable when needed. May 6, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by RMEBrown Great Hotel Except...... Hotel is great, staff is great, executive lounge is great, location is great. The mold and mildew in my room around Air Conditioner, NOT SO GREAT! Noise from Elevator wasn't so good either. Overall, a really nice stay! Perhaps I just had a bad room. May 6, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by Steve not clean I stayed at Sheraton Toronto Center saturday night. The room that we stayed in was not clean. It looked like someone had splashed cola on the toilet and there was mildew in the bathroom, the windows were dirty inside and out and the bed was uncomfortable… and although I was not happy with this, it was late and one of my kids was asleep when we got in so I let it go as it took over a half hour to check in the first time. The following morning my 1.5 year old found a jellybean on the floor (I had to take it out of his mouth), I found a couple more afterwards as well as what looked like bits of trail mix on the floor. The jellybean could have been a choking hazard, or worse it could have been medication or anything really. May 6, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by Jeff Meeting Experience The hotel room was fine. The physical meeting facilities were adequate. However, hotel staff catering/serving the breakfasts and snacks were as a whole unhelpful and fairly abrupt, actually almost rude. When they ran out of coffee cups, plates or utensils, they seemed put off when we asked for assistance. This was noted in their attitude and response (more often than not, "I'll get to that when they can", as they walked off) I found the concierge unhelpful in suggestions as to nice neighborhood bars for a nightcap or even restaurant suggestions. When I asked them about a good seafood restaurant for dinner, they suggested 'Red Lobster' Finally, valet staff was a bright spot. Always helpful and polite. May 6, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Kathryn60 Comfortable stay, poor restaurant value Our recent stay at the Sheraton Centre was very comfortable. The rooms were clean, although they were not ready when we arrived. Because of this, we were given a discount coupon for the BB restaurant. The food there is very overpriced. . $17 burgers, both chicken and veggie, came with pre-prepared, probably frozen patties, that were very small and tasteless. The veggie one in particular was mostly rice and corn. I would not eat here again despite a discount. May 6, 2013

Before fans were smelling what The Rock was cooking at wrestling shows and on the big screen, before Stone Cold Steve Austin made the middle finger a sign of endearment, Hogan was the first wrestling megastar with crossover appeal. With Vince McMahon, he made the then-WWF a household name, helping launch Wrestlemania, the WWE's biggest annual show of the year, in 1985, making several late-night and morning show appearances, becoming the first professional wrestler to appear on the cover of Sports Illustrated and appearing in several less-than-successful movies.
Hogan had arguably paved the way for the success of The Rock, Austin and others, and his father thought that his son's 24 years in the business deserved a better ending. And they both believed the only fitting ending could happen in the place of Hogan's greatest success.
"I want to be remembered as the guy who slammed Andre the Giant [at Wrestlemania III in 1987]," Hogan said. "I don't want to be remembered as the guy Vince Russo fired. I don't want to be remembered like that."
After his father died, Hogan started negotiating his return with McMahon. He returned as a "heel" — a wrestling villain — in March, starting a rivalry with the WWE's greatest "babyface," or hero, The Rock — and headlining Wrestlemania X8 in a match at the Toronto SkyDome with The Scorpion King star in front of 68,237 fans.
Hogan lost the match — but he was still the winner. Though Hogan was a heel, fans cheered his every move that night and booed The Rock, chanting "Rocky sucks!" repeatedly. The fans welcomed Hogan back and turned him back into a babyface, surprising him and his family. They also extinguished any doubt he had about his legacy and began to help him pay tribute to his father.
"I knew there was something special between me and The Rock, whatever that is," Hogan said. "Then we get to Wrestlemania and 70,000 are cheering for Hogan. It just blew our minds. It's just been unbelievable ever since."
The ovations for Hogan have continued as fans have filled arenas nationwide, some seeing him at live shows for the first time while others watch him for what they think will be the last time. Is nostalgia fueling this rebirth of Hulkamania?
"I think it's an out of sight, out of mind kind of thing," said The Phantom, host of the weekly radio show Get in the Ring, who requested that his identity remain anonymous. "He'd been out of the public eye for such a long time, the fervor for his return was that much more. And the fact that he's returned to the place where he first got famous helps. So much for those Internet fans who criticized Hogan the most yet cheer for him the loudest these days."
Much has changed since Hogan was last in the WWE. The curtain has been pulled back on professional wrestling. The industry openly admits that the outcome of its matches are scripted, and wrestlers are more open about their background and private lives. Back then, between 1984 and 1993, Hogan was the face of the WWE — the only star who could fill the arenas and likely to appear in the mass media. And he won practically all the time.
Today, Hogan is a wrestling legend but is considered a star among many WWE stars. He is not in main events all the time. Several surgeries on his left knee have slowed him down in the ring and forced him to wear a brace, even though he jokes, "My knee is the best damn thing on me nowadays."

I Paid A Bribe (IPAB) is your chance to have your say
These are crucial times in India indeed as a battle to root out corruption rages on in the subcontinent. Over the past months, the common man in India has elected to be part of decisive action to communicate his disgust with corruption.
If candle light vigils and letters to the Prime Minister's office aren't really your calling then I Paid A Bribe (IPAB) is your chance to have your say. Funded by the Bangalore based non-profit, Janaagraha, that works to enable citizen participation in public governance, the aim of the I Paid A Bribe (http://ipaidabribe.com/) is simple. The initiative was developed to understand the full extent of the 'under-the-table' economy of corruption and to harness the collective power of citizens to make policy recommendations. Launched on August 15, 2010, the site has evolved into a serious player in citizen engagement, fighting corruption and explaining in easy to understand ways of resisting paying bribes.
"We essentially collect three types of reports from citizens: 'I paid a bribe,' 'I didn't pay a bribe' and 'I didn't have to pay a bribe.' This integration of information directly from the citizens is our USP," explains T.R. Raghunandan, creator of the site.
A former civil servant with 26 years of experience, Raghunandan gives us the view from within the system. "Tell us your story," exhorts the site, "Using your stories we'll advocate an improved system for the government. Together let's fight corruption." Buts it's not just your story. The site has some answers that citizens sure can use.
Initially the site was publicised only online. "However, subsequently, it generated a lot of interest in the print, radio and television media. Citizens from various parts of the country, and even those living abroad have written to us. We have also had requests from more than seven countries asking to start similar sites for them. Till date we've got over 5 lakh visits from 190 countries. Citizens have reported over 10,000 instances of paying and not paying bribes," says Raghunandan.
Keywords: anti-corruption

ORANGE – For the second year in a row, puppies in pink flooded the Irvine Regional Park on Saturday morning to walk to support local breast-cancer treatment and survivors.
From hounds to huskies, beagles to bulldogs and pit bulls to poodles, approximately 400 dogs – along with about 800 people – gathered to participate in the Paws Fur Pink, a 5K event from which proceeds were donated to the Orange County affiliate of the Susan G. Komen for the Cure foundation.
Lisa Wolter, the executive director for the Orange County affiliate, welcomed runners and pets to the first race of the day, the timed 5K run, at 8 a.m. with her dog, Scout, and husband, John.
"Our main goal is to turn breast-cancer patients into breast-cancer survivors," she said. "The Race for the Cure is so busy you can't really bring your dogs; this event allows people to come out and support breast cancer awareness with their pet."
Thirty minutes after the timed run was underway, a second, larger group of walkers gathered at the starting line, which was taped off with bright pink stands of plastic, to begin the untimed 5K walk.
Participants were of all ages, from around Orange County and afar, and that included the dogs.
Janet Zimmerman and her daughter, Abbey, ran the race in 32 minutes with their small, black dog Lucy, a mix of several breads. Lucy was hard to miss walking across the finish line as she sported a pink boa around her neck along with a bright pink shirt.
"We're here because we love to be around dogs," Janet Zimmerman said.
Following the untimed race, other participants could also participate in the one-mile walk, which brought out one of the stars of Saturday's show.
Baby Banks isn't a dog, although she may think she is. Her owner, Debra Jo of Anaheim, said the pig had been training for the mile walk all week.
"She actually doesn't know she's a P-I-G; she's been raised with dogs since she was 5 weeks old," Jo said.
Baby Banks walked the mile without rest, and got major attention from the other participants, to support the Emma Zen Foundation, an organization that raises money to donate pet oxygen masks to local fire stations and rescue groups.
As runners, walkers and even the five children who participated in a small run around the expo area of the event came back sweating and panting, the Pawsitively Pink Costume Contest begun.
Dogs dressed as cupcakes, butterflies and in great gear walked on the stage to strut their stuff, but the prize contenders came down to three, as determined by applause.
Diablo, a pit bull with sunglasses, a pink shirt and pink fluffy material around his paws was a crowd favorite and came close to winning, but ultimately was beat out by a small Yorkshire Terrier dressed as an angel.

US income gap widens as poor take hit in recession
WASHINGTON The recession has hit middle-income and poor families hardest, widening the economic gap between the richest and poorest Americans as rippling job layoffs ravaged household budgets.
The wealthiest 10 percent of Americans – those making more than $138,000 each year – earned 11.4 times the roughly $12,000 made by those living near or below the poverty line in 2008, according to newly released census figures. That ratio was an increase from 11.2 in 2007 and the previous high of 11.22 in 2003.
Household income declined across all groups, but at sharper percentage levels for middle-income and poor Americans. Median income fell last year from $52,163 to $50,303, wiping out a decade's worth of gains to hit the lowest level since 1997.
Poverty jumped sharply to 13.2 percent, an 11-year high.
"No one should be surprised at the increased disparity," said Richard Freeman, an economist at Harvard University. "Unemployment hurts normal workers who do not have the golden parachutes the folks at the top have."
Analysts attributed the widening gap to the wave of layoffs in the economic downturn that have devastated household budgets. They said while the richest Americans may be seeing reductions in executive pay, those at the bottom of the income ladder are often unemployed and struggling to get by.
Large cities such as Atlanta, Washington, New York, San Francisco, Miami and Chicago had the most inequality, due largely to years of middle-class flight to the suburbs. Declining industrial cities with pockets of well-off neighborhoods, such as Pittsburgh, Cleveland and Buffalo, N.Y., also had sharp disparities.
Up-and-coming cities with growing middle-class populations, such as Mesa, Ariz., Riverside, Calif., Arlington, Texas, and Henderson, Nev., were among the areas showing the least income differences between rich and poor.
It's unclear whether income inequality will continue to worsen in major cities, said William H. Frey, a demographer at the Brookings Institution. Many Americans are staying put for now in traditional cities to look for jobs and because of frozen lines of credit.
"During the years of the housing bubble, there was middle-class movement from unaffordable metros with high-income inequality," Frey said. "Now that the bubble burst, more of the population may be headed back to the high-inequality areas, stemming their middle-class losses."
As to poverty, the biggest shifts last year were increases in metropolitan areas in Florida and central California. Stockton, Calif., jumped from 14.1 percent to 16.8 percent, while Lakeland-Winter Haven, Fla., rose from 12.7 percent to 15.4 percent. Tampa-St. Petersburg, Orlando, Bradenton and Palm Bay – all in Florida – also saw gains in the share of poor residents.
Among other findings:
–Income at the top 5 percent of households – those making $180,000 or more – was 3.58 times the median income, the highest since 2006.
–Twenty-one states and the District of Columbia had higher poverty rates than the national average, many of them in the South, such as Mississippi (21.2 percent), Kentucky, Arkansas and Louisiana (each with 17.3 percent). That's compared with 19 states and the District of Columbia that ranked above U.S. poverty in 2007.

My 3-5 Year Plan toward the Cruising Life
My bias is that racing and cruising are like chalk and cheeze. We ocean raced a 40 ft farr for some years and I have to say thatsome racers I have known have difficulty in making the transition to a gentler cruising lifestyle, because that is what true cruising is, a journey not a destination. There is nothing more off puting for me to have a modern hull shape that pounds in a seaway for the sake of a couple of extra knots and then bounces around at anchor when the sea and wind gets up. I think it is tremendous that you are thinking of doing a passage to experience it. I respectfully suggest you do so on a cruising, not a racing event as the two a light years apart. No disrespect however as a sailing school instructor might I also suggest that if you are seeking to be taught sailing , do so by yourself at a reputable school. regardless of how good a sailor hubby is, our experience is that often good sailors do not make good teachers and husbands teaching wives/partners is a often a lethal combination that destroys the sailing dream. Anyway for what it is worth there is my suggestion to consider
Hope to see you on the watersomewhere in the world. Best of luck in following your dream and if you want any books on cruising together, I can recommend a number.

HOLLYWOOD, Fla. -- SEC Commissioner Mike Slive came here four years ago with a plan to remake the Bowl Championship Series by creating two national semifinals to determine which teams played for the national championship.
Not only was Slive's proposal shot down by his fellow commissioners, he wasn't even allowed to call it a playoff.
Now, for the first time, all the power brokers who run major college football are ready to have its championship decided the way it's done from peewees to the pros. And the way fans have been hoping they would for years.
"I've always tried not to use the dreaded P word," Slive said Thursday. "But now we're all using it. So what the heck."
Yes, major college football is on the verge of implementing a playoff, its own version of the final four. Two semifinals and a title game.
"I'm very stunned," said former Alabama running back and Cleveland Browns draft pick Trent Richardson, who won two BCS championship games with the Crimson Tide.
There's still plenty left to figure out, though. First of all, where and when to play the games and how the bowls fit in. After that, Slive and his cohorts have to come up with a way to select the four teams. The new postseason format would go into effect for the 2014 season.
As for the 14-year-old BCS, it's on life support. Any chance that it survives past the next two seasons? "I hope not," Slive said.
"This is a seismic change for college football," BCS Executive Director Bill Hancock said after the 11 conference commissioners and Notre Dame's athletic director wrapped up three days of meetings in south Florida.
Hancock said the commissioners will present a "small number" of options for a four-team playoff to their leagues over the next month or so at conference meetings. He estimated that between two and seven configurations are being considered.
It'll be up to each conference to determine which plan it likes best. The commissioners will get back together in June and try to come up with a final version, and eventually the university presidents will have to sign off on it. Hancock has said they'd like a new format ready for presidential approval by July 4.
And he warned that if no agreement is reached, the fallback could be sticking with an overhauled version of the old system, which aims for a No. 1 vs. No. 2 championship game.
But that's a long shot.
"It's great to get to a point where there seems to be general consensus that a four-team, three-game playoff is the best route to go," Atlantic Coast Conference Commissioner John Swofford said. "The next challenge obviously is figuring out a format that brings consensus where we can truly make that work. The more this narrows, the more challenging it gets."
Figuring out when to play the games should be easy.
The commissioners all agree the college football season needs to wrap up as close to Jan. 1 as possible. That would mean semifinals soon after Christmas and the title game within a few days of the calendar flipping.
"One of the goals is to make the postseason a celebration of college football," Slive said. "And to focus in on a reasonable time frame that is consistent with a reasonable bowl season. And then be able to have a championship game and semifinals at a time and a place that would allow us to really celebrate college football at a time when people are thinking about college football, which is in and around the end of December and early January."
Where is the best place to celebrate college football? That figures to be a heated debate.
Slive has made it clear he's not a fan of playing semifinals on campus, a plan the Big Ten has presented and the Pac-12 supports.
"I'm a big proponent of it," Pac-12 Commissioner Larry Scott said. "That was the choice we made in our conference with our championship game. Collegiate atmosphere. Guaranteed sellout. We've said all along preserving the regular season is important. What better way to emphasize the importance of the regular season then having a chance to earn a home game? It's a proven NFL model."
