Philip Jourdain
|Philip Jourdain
Ashbourne, Derbyshire
Crookham, Hampshire
|Editor and mathematician
|Emily Clay and Francis Jourdain
Philip Edward Bertrand Jourdain (16 October 1879 – 1 October 1919) was a British logician and follower of Bertrand Russell.
He was born in Ashbourne in Derbyshire[1] one of a large family belonging to Emily Clay and his father Francis Jourdain (who was the vicar at Ashbourne).[2] He was partly disabled by Friedreich's ataxia. He corresponded with Georg Cantor and Gottlob Frege, and took a close interest in the paradoxes related to Russell's paradox, formulating the card paradox version of the liar paradox.[2] He corresponded with Ludwig Wittgenstein, meeting with him in Cambridge to discuss Frege's book Grundgesetze der Arithmetik, of parts of which Jourdain had prepared a translation. He also worked on algebraic logic, and the history of science with Isaac Newton as a particular study. He was London editor for The Monist.
His sister Eleanor Jourdain was an English academic and author.

iMac with SSD & HDD - where to put iPhoto library?
I have an early 2009 iMac 24" and am considering replacing the SuperDrive with an SSD. Problem is I don't know what size SSD to buy. If just apps and OS, 128GB would work. However, if I put my iPhoto library on the SSD also I will need a 512GB SSD (library is about 140GB and growing).
Question is will having the iPhoto library on the SSD be faster than the hybrid approach of app on SSD and library on my 2TB WD Black HDD?
I don't want to spend $250 more on the 512GB if there is no real benefit for the location of the library compared to a 128GB SSD with just apps/OS.
|Feb 5, 2013, 09:29 PM
Yes, it will be faster with your library on the SSD. However, if I understand you correctly, you'll be replacing the optical drive with the SSD and your 2TB HDD is an internal drive, correct? If so, it will still be pretty fast. If your 2TB drive was external, you'd experience a little more "lag".
You do have a couple of options. You could actually turn your 2 drives into a DIY Fusion Drive. Your situation is perfect for that scenario. Another option would be to buy Aperture for $80; using Aperture allows you to put your library on a smaller drive, and your original images on another drive as "referenced" masters. It moves them out of the library, making it much smaller. It still wouldn't be as fast as having your entire library on the SSD, but it IS faster than having the entire library on an HDD.
I have a 240GB SSD and it worked well for having the OS on it plus the Aperture library running as referenced. I have since created a DIY Fusion Drive and that has been my best solution to date.
13" 2012 MBA/i7/8GB/256GB
24" 2008 iMac/2.8GHz/6GB/240GB SSD/2TB FW800 HDDs
2GB TC; ATV 3; 32GB iPad 4; iPhone 6
Left Nikon for Fuji X-E1, Fujinon 18-55mm OIS, 55-200mm OIS, 27mm f/2.8
|Feb 5, 2013, 10:07 PM
Sounds like DIY Fusion is the best option and least expensive. Yes, my 2TB drive is an internal upgrade I did about a year ago from the stock 1TB that came with my iMac. For Fusion, what size drive should I buy?
Also, any real difference between say the Samsung 840 and Crucial M4? My early 2009 iMac is SATA II so it will not be able to take advantage of SATA III speeds and has Nvidia graphics so I think Sandisk and OCZ could be problematic..
Thanks for the help!

Photos of Pete Wentz Dancing With Exotic Dancers in Las Vegas
Cameras Capture Pete Wentz's Wild Vegas Night
Like us on Facebook
While Ashlee Simpson has been home in LA Twittering about how much she misses Pete Wentz and sharing adorable photos of Bronx, daddy's been having his own sort of fun. Cameras caught Pete looking like he was having a blast with dancers after Fall Out Boy's Vegas concert this weekend, though fortunately for Ash the photos of her husband are relatively tame. The band apparently made a makeshift slip-n-slide at the afterparty, and Pete was dancing on tables like the rest of 'em. Ashlee's no stranger to tour life herself, but she seems extra happy that their three amigos will be reunited this weekend for Easter.

If my musician husband said "I danced with some dancers last night, it was hilarious, I looked like an idiot," I'd laugh. But if I saw the pictures while holding my new baby I would freak out. It's all relative.

Seriously, they probably get strippers when they're together. Not my cup of tea, but NOT a big deal either.
Vogue1 6 years
Oh PLEASE. The "Pete is a jerk" bandwagon is so old. His vocab and brain is ridiculous, he can make complete fun of himself, he loves Ashlee and their baby. If you knew anything about them instead of assuming, you'd know they both party like this all the time - together and apart.

ouch. that would feel like a punch in the gut to see these pictures while you are at home with your new baby. I don't know, it could be worse, but I would certainly not be into it if I were Ashlee. But I also don't have this lifestyle - so I don't know...I guess it's just a lifestyle choice!

I don't know, these photos don't show him doing anything, but who knows what happened when the camera wasn't pointing at him? I think it's pretty disrepectful to Ashlee.

Deference as a normative power
- Andrea C. Westlund

Much of the literature on practical authority concerns the authority of the state over its subjects—authority to which we are, as G. E. M. Anscombe says, subject "willy nilly". Yet many of our "willy" (or voluntary) relationships also seem to involve the exercise of practical authority, and this species of authority is in some ways even more puzzling than authority willy nilly. In this paper I argue that voluntary authority relies on a form of voluntary obligation that is akin (in some respects) to the kind of obligation one undertakes in making a promise. Voluntary authority depends, that is, on the possibility of taking on certain obligations more or less at will. It is generated through an interpersonal transaction that involves a directed act of deference, on one side, paired with appropriate uptake of that deference, on the other. Deference, in the relevant sense, should be understood as a normative power that is exercised when agents transfer deliberative discretion to others, undertaking directed obligations to treat others' directives as content-independent and peremptory reasons. Voluntary authority, thus understood, is both grounded in and constrained by the equal moral authority or autonomy of the participants, since only autonomous agents have the standing to defer in a normatively significant way.

I don't believe in the argument personally, but I've heard it a couple times, although I think once that it might have been a long winding joke by THEBILLMURRAY... Or I am I mixing up something else with his diatribe about getting the Staypuft Marshmellowman laid on shore leave.

It seems like CP3 is putting a big pressure on the organization to force a trade before the start of the 2010/2011 season.
Ken Bergen reports that Chris demanded a trade, with his preferred destinations being the Knicks, the Magic or the Lakers.
"He wants out" the source told Bergen. "He wants to play with another superstar. He wants to follow LeBron's model of teaming up with other great players."
Other NBA sources mentioned that they were told by members of Paul's camp that he's not going to start the next season in New Orleans.
RealGM reports that the Knicks are preparing to make an attractive offer so they can acquire the three time all star via a trade. It seems like New York's strategy with the David Lee trade was to get young talents that later could be used as attractive assets in acquiring bigger players.

Party Mixer - DJ player app
1,000,000 - 5,000,000 downloadsAdd this app to your listsTweets por @Appszoom
No DJ-ing experience necessary. Party Mixer has been designed to be an easy-to-use app that anyone can pick up and play with. It features a very simple interface: just create a playlist, then drag-and-drop tracks onto the player decks. You can crossfade between the two tracks using the horizontal slider at the bottom. Change the tempo and pitch using the vertical sliders. That's it!
- Play 2 tracks simultaneously and cross-fade between them
- Change tempo/pitch/BPM (free on left deck, paid on right deck)
- Create/open/edit playlists
- Seek within track, show elapsed and remaining time
- Search in playlist
- Access all music stored on your device
Want other features? Vote for what we should work on next on our Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/partymixerapp
Device compatibility:

NOTE: If you run into problems with Auto DJ turning itself off automatically, please go to menu -> Settings and check "Use old playback implementation". Then stop all playback and back out of the app completely and relaunch it. Note that this will disable pitch control. We're working on a fix, but in the mean time, you can use this solution if you have problems with Auto DJ.

Please Help Us Keep WKAR Radio Pledge Free!
By Jeanie Croope
Here at WKAR Radio we are grateful to you and others like you for the pledges received this April. It's due to member support that we can bring you the classical music you love and the news programs that keep you informed every day of the week.
However, we fell $27,000 short of our goal. We do not want to pledge on-air again so soon, but we may have to.
You can help keep the classical music and news uninterrupted by giving now! We know you don't want to hear pledge programming; will you support the station you love by May 30?
If you already made a gift, thank you so much. Your support truly does make a difference.

Transaero has launched a weekly cargo service between Moscow and London Stansted.
Innovata schedules show the Russian carrier to be sole operator on the route.
Stansted is also served with cargo flights by Asiana, British Airways World Cargo, Cargolux, FedEx, Global Supply Systems, Martinair, Royal Mail, Panalpina, Titan, TNT and UPS.
Transaero is the first airline to add freight services to Stansted since the facility was acquired by Manchester Airports Group earlier this year. "We are certain it will not be the last," says MAG's cargo business development manager Conan Busby.

Santa isn't the only busy one this time of year. Organizations across North America have been helping their communities lead healthy, balanced lifestyles – and to support them, Coca-Cola is sending a little holiday cheer their way.
The Coca-Cola Foundation, the philanthropic arm of The Coca-Cola Company, will award more than $2M in grants this quarter, with more than $1M directed to support community health and fitness programs. Including these fourth quarter grants, The Coca-Cola Foundation has awarded a total of $9.9 million to support healthy living programs across North America in 2012.
The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) will receive a $100,000 grant to support Project HELP – a program promoting healthy eating, physical activity and healthy lifestyles in African-American communities. Another recipient, the Canadian Institute of Child Health, will receive a $100,000 grant to provide information on healthy food choices and physical activity to Inuit families in Canada. Translated into English, French and Inuktitut, the culturally relevant material will include a storybook, traditional Inuit songs and activity suggestions for parents and teachers.
"Choosing to live healthy, balanced lifestyles is one of the most important decisions we can make," said Lori George Billingsley, Vice President, Community Relations, Coca-Cola Refreshments. "By teaching people how to make good nutrition and fitness choices as part of their daily routine, these organizations are tangibly impacting the health of their communities now and for the future."Other organizations receiving active, healthy living funding include:
- Bexar County Community Health Collaborative, San Antonio, TX, $25,000

While riding my right knee sometimes makes a clicking noise on the down stroke. It is worse while pushing myself up hills, but can happen on flats as well. It seems to last the first mile or two of my commute and then stops. There is no pain associated with the clicking.. It is just very annoying, and has me concerned that I'm potentially causing damage to myself.
I am riding clipless, so am thinking that my cleat angle may be wrong, but I am perfectly comfortable while riding. Just click, click, click, click...
Any thoughts?

I'm looking to identify a location from a photograph. There is a statue on the left of the picture which may help. I know the man on the right is Peter Dazi, born in Diecimo, near Lucca, in 1878. I would date the picture to around the 1920s/30s. I'm not 100% sure the picture was taken in Italy but that's the working theory.
Can anyone provide any information on the location, the statue, the car, or anything?

Farm animal welfare: Past, present and future

Farmers areresponsible for the welfare of the one billion land animals and many millions of fish that are farmed for food here every year. Every animal has the capacity to experience physical and mental suffering and to experience pleasure and contentment. As such, farm animal welfare is high on the agenda of many members of the general public, food businesses, farmers, farm assurance schemes and, of course, animal welfare organisations. To mark the 20th anniversary of the RSPCA's Freedom Food scheme this year (2014)the Food Ethics Council and Heather Pickett were asked to undertake research into past and potential future factors driving changes in farm animal welfare in the UK.

We've finished our first full week of the 2015 General Assembly session and I'm happy to report that things are quickly progressing forward. Our committees and subcommittees are meeting to consider thousands of pieces of legislation, and I speak with constituents daily as they stop by my office and/or call me to share their views.

23rd District
This week marked the first full week of the 2015 General Assembly session, with bills being debated in committees and on the floor of the Senate. Short sessions, like the one this year, tend to move a little more briskly in order to handle the volume of legislation in just 45 days. And, there's a lot of legislation to consider.

Over the years Supervisor Steve Arrington has been a strong advocate for maintaining our low property tax rate here in Bedford County and has actively acted on his beliefs, even to the point of participating in the censure of his fellow Republican supervisors who voted for a tax increase.
It's always a pleasure to watch and listen to this particular president give a major speech or formal address.
Barack Obama's soaring rhetorical abilities can't be matched by anyone else in politics today. His ability to speak reflects what even his critics know to be his deep intellect.
It's budget time again and all our local governing bodies are about to begin wrestling with the budget bear. It can be a tough time because they often have to begin working before they know what the General Assembly is going to do to them.
This is no time for more delays.
The issue of building a new middle school has been on the table for years, and after the reversion of the city of Bedford to a town, it took center stage.
Originally, the Bedford County School Board had hoped to have a new school completed to open for the 2016-2017 school year.

Smashing Pumpkins :: 10.27.12 :: Agganis Arena :: Boston, MA
Full review below photo gallery!
From the monstrous riffage of Oceania opener, "Quasar," it was clear that Corgan was newly infused with a creative passion that's been lacking since the Pumpkins' glory days of the mid-90s. Jimmy Chamberlin (drums) was fired not long after the group reunited in 2007, and James Iha (guitar) and D'arcy Wretzky (bass) have long been replaced by Jeff Schroeder and the D'arcy-esque Nicole Fiorentino.
While fans and critics alike have questioned the use of the Pumpkins' name in light of the fact that Corgan is the only original member, the truth is that Billy Corgan is the Smashing Pumpkins, and always has been. He wrote the hits, he sang the lyrics, and he even wrote the lead licks Iha played on their most popular material.
Corgan tried going solo without the Pumpkins' name but nothing really gelled (remember Zwan?). But anyone in attendance at the Agganis Arena would tell you that regardless of who's backing him up, Billy Corgan shines the brightest as the frontman of The Smashing Pumpkins.
Halfway through Oceania, the quartet blasted into the title track, a nine-minute composition that brought the group into abstract territory not visited since the group regularly encored with "Silverfuck" back in the early 90's. While the Smashing Pumpkins are still primarily fueled by drums, bass and a pair of guitars, on this tune, the members all performed (at least partially) on matching white keyboards, making the group look more like Kraftwerk than the Pumpkins of yore.
Billy Corgan was faced with a dilemma any artist of his stature faces after twenty-plus years of songwriting. Fans wanted to hear the classics, but his enthusiasm was in the new material. The lack of enthusiasm for Oceania was displayed in the undersold venue (playing a college town on Halloween weekend didn't help) and the relative silence of the crowd during the first half of the show drove the point home.
However, the full performance of Oceania was by far the superior half of the show. Where the second half felt forced, the first was new to the band and crowd alike. It was exciting to hear new material live for the first time, not knowing how the studio product would transition to the stage.
Corgan's trip to Boston provided his longtime fans with a successful display of his latest compositions while humoring them with a handful of the tunes they know and love. The enthusiasm of the audience may have been underwhelming, but the performance Corgan delivered walked a fine line of freshness and nostalgia that his contemporaries could learn from.

Every year scooter rally enthusiasts look forward to Sportscraft's annual event after the onset of monsoon. It's hardly raining in these parts, but Shrikant Karani who has been part and parcel of the motor sport activities in the country in excess of three decades, announced on Thursday the 25th Gulf Monsoon Rally schedule to be held on July 6.
"This is a unique rally for scooters and some manufacturers are assisting the riders this season with spare parts. A few riders maintain a scooter only to take part in this rally. The response has been excellent and we hope to receive in all 45 entries. The FMSCI rules will apply," said Karani who as promoter of Sportscraft will be conducting the 347th motor sport event.
The Gulf Monsoon Scooter Rally has drawn entries from many parts of Maharshtra, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan and from Dehradun and Hyderabad. Bhopal's Muzaffar Ali and local boy Rustom Patel are expected to tussle for this year's title. The year's winner will receive a trophy and Rs. 10,000 as prize money. The first and second runner up will receive Rs. 8,500 and Rs. 7,500.
The rally will be flagged off at the old mill area of the city at Parel where the tarmac section of the rally will start and proceed to Belapur. "The second part of the rally will be the off-road leg held around the backwoods of Belapur. Thereafter the 'competition sector' will be the most challenging as it will test the riding skills of the each participant as they wade through knee deep water, slippery dirt tracks and gravel laden roads. This part of the rally will be run over a distance of 8 kms and three times over," said Karani.

Stress And Trade-Offs Explain Life's Diversity
Plants and people alike face critical choices as they reproduce: to make a few big, well-provisioned seeds""or babies–or many small, poorly-provisioned ones. Different species make strikingly different choices, resulting in a great diversity of life forms: Darwin's "endless forms most beautiful.
Helene Muller-Landau, staff scientist at the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute argues that these diverse strategies coexist because different levels of stress favor different choices.
"I love to figure out the reasons behind patterns I see in the forest," said Muller-Landau, who, as head of the HSBC Climate Partnership's effort to quantify carbon in forests worldwide, has traveled to forests in China, Malaysia, Ecuador, Panama and beyond. "The mathematical model I've developed explains why different plant species have different size seeds, and may also provide insight into the variation in offspring size and provisioning among animal species."
Coconut palms produce enormous seeds while figs produce tiny seeds. Muller-Landau wasn't happy with the textbook explanation that a tradeoff between competitive ability and seed arrival at a site accounts for this range of seed sizes: "The standard explanation is that big seeds beat out small seeds everywhere that the big seeds arrive""but that just isn't always the case," she explains. "Big seeds don't necessarily do any better than small seeds when conditions are good. Where big seeds really have the advantage is in stressful conditions like shade or drought "" small seeds often can't make it at all at stressful sites. In contrast, small-seeded species have an advantage at favorable sites, just because they've got more seeds in the game."
"This simple, elegant theory, so well grounded in sound natural history, reminds me of the glory days of Robert MacArthur. It is a considerable advance in our understanding of the contrast between fugitive ("r") and equilibrium ("K") species and how they coexist," said Egbert Leigh, Smithsonian staff scientist.
Muller-Landau will speak in Panama on March 1 at Taking Stock, a conference sponsored by the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute's Center for Tropical Forest Science and Earthwatch as part of the HSBC Climate Partnership. The conference will highlight the role that citizen scientists play in the partnership in gathering vast quantities of tree growth data from more than 30, independent forest dynamics monitoring plots in 25 countries, worldwide—data needed to answer questions about climate change and to address very basic biological questions that are essential to understanding life on earth.
Her "tolerance-fecundity" model, will be presented in the Early Online edition of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences during the week of February 15, Financial support from the HSBC Climate Partnership, a Packard Fellowship in Science and Engineering, the University of Minnesota and the U.S. National Science Foundation made this work possible.

Tobacco use, exposure to secondhand smoke, and cessation counseling among medical students: cross-country data from the Global Health Professions Student Survey (GHPSS), 2005-2008
1 Office on Smoking and Health, US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Atlanta, GA, USA
2 Tobacco Free Initiative, South East Asia Region, World Health Organization, Delhi, India
3 Paul P. Carbone Comprehensive Cancer Center, University of Wisconsin, Madison, WI, USA
BMC Public Health 2011, 11:72 doi:10.1186/1471-2458-11-72Published: 1 February 2011
GHPSS is a school-based survey that collects self-administered data from students in regular classroom settings. GHPSS produces representative data at the national or city level in each country. This study aims to investigate the prevalence of tobacco use, exposure to secondhand smoke, and cessation counseling among medical students using the GHPSS data.
The Global Health Professions Student Survey (GHPSS) was conducted among 3rd year medical students in 47 countries and the Gaza Strip/West Bank from 2005-2008 to determine the prevalence of tobacco use and amount of formal training in cessation counseling.
In 26 of the 48 sites, over 20% of the students currently smoked cigarettes, with males having higher rates than females in 37 sites. Over 70% of students reported having been exposed to secondhand smoke in public places in 29 of 48 sites. The majority of students recognized that they are role models in society (over 80% in 42 of 48 sites), believed they should receive training on counseling patients to quit using tobacco (over 80% in 41 of 48 sites), but few reported receiving formal training (less than 40% in 46 of 48 sites).
Tobacco control efforts must discourage tobacco use among health professionals, promote smoke free workplaces, and implement programs that train medical students in effective cessation-counseling techniques.

From the Publisher"Adventures in Realism is an exciting and necessary book. It collects together a stunning array of essays that, both individually and as a whole, show why we need to consider the nature and importance of realism. The volume encourages us to think through the concept both in relation to its mid-nineteenth century origins, and today's philosophical discussions; to see it both as manifested in specific literary or artistic forms and as a more abstract way of figuring our place within the material world. Matthew Beaumont should be congratulated in placing his contributors into such effective dialogue with one another: in doing so, he has returned realism to the center of historical, aesthetic, and political debate."
Kate Flint, Rutgers University
"Every new generation of critics and scholars must come to terms in its own ways with the paradoxes of realism. Realism is a period style, but at the same time it is a perennial motive in literature, art, film, and other media. Realism purports to represent things as they are, or were, but at the same time it is a constitutive set of conventions that tells people in a given time and place what is to be taken as real. This distinguished collection of essays brilliantly articulates these paradoxes for our own time."
J.Hillis Miller, University of California at Irvine
"What a wonderfully wide and deep and pushing inspection of realisms (and irrealisms) in history, in theory, in practice. Here's realism, then and now, cannily philosophized, politicized, feminized, psychologized. Here are so many of realism's practitioners, its aesthetic friends and enemies, the missionaries and also the scoffers, being heard and watched as they engage with their chosen media – novels, plays, paintings, photographs, films, buildings. It is, I think, as serious, engaging, educating a look at the large realist project as could well be assembled."
Valentine Cunningham, Corpus Christi College, Oxford
"Beaumont's introduction, 'Reclaiming Realism,' pinpoints the purpose of this collection. Realism fell victim to postmodern discourse; Beaumont and his fellow contributors wish to restore it."

Rated 2 out of 5 by elaine141 lack of information I found the idea of having the amenities on the tv awkward. I had no way of going to what I wanted to know I had to wait for the tv to get the information. A couple of times I missed it and had to wait for it to come back up again.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Alchemist This Hotel has a Great Staff I have been fortunate to have been able to stay at this hotel several times now. The staff at this hotel is the best that I have ever experienced in all my travels. This staff, from the room attendants to the lounge hostess, were expedient, responsive, friendly, and very helpful in seeing that any of our requirements were met. It is the people that make a business great and successful and with this staff that they currently employ, this hotel will provide the best experience while in Toronto. May 19, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Jimtraveller Another great stay at Sheraton Centre Toronto Hotel Stay at the hotel for business reason from April 27 to May 3. I got a king-bedroom on the club floor, away from the elevators which were great, spacious and quiet. The club lounge was under renovation, and we were assigned to the opposite side of the floor, which has a smaller room from the original space. The food was abundant and staff were good. The location is very convenient, and between two TTC subway stops, which are all within 2-5 minutes walk. Highly recommend! May 18, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by Jbattle2 Not Getting Better I have stayed here on several occasions over the last 10 years. I find it a little more disappointing each time. The rooms are getting tired, they need sprucing up and modernizing. I like the location of this hotel, the office I visit is across the road, but I find it rather noisy, not due to guests but more due to ambient noise. A small group of us had drinks in the Hotel's Bistro, the service was poor and aloof (this is not the first time that has happened), the wine and beer list limited and uninspired. Check in staff are always great, I once emailed the manager to compliment a couple of helpful staff but never heard back. Guess the staff don't need to hear compliments from customers? There are better choices for hotels in the area I feel. Hard to beat the location though. May 17, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Margo33 This hotel has great features The team at the Sheraton was absolutely amazing. The attention my husband and I received was top notch!! Thank you! May 17, 2014

Rated 1 out of 5 by UnexpectedDisappointment Never been so disgusted After staying at the Sheraton for the past three years as part of the Executive of the largest student run youth advocacy organization in the country at our many conferences we've chosen to spend at the Sheraton, I have come to expect five star customer service. This past weekend (May 8, 9, 10, 11th, 2014) was the most disappointing and ill managed weekend I've ever spent at this hotel. Not only were our room reservations incorrect after I confirmed our reservations with other staff, but the customer service manager (named Briana or Brianne) was the most disrespectful and arrogant agent I've ever encountered. After multiple issues with the room situation, she refused to accommodate us any further and indicated to us that it was basically not her problem to deal with. After settling with what was presented to us as the only option: a room we did not request, we went to the room to discover that the room in the Richmond tower absolutely stank, unbearably so. My partner and I went back down to request another room and Briana wouldn't even come out of the back room to speak with us or to acknowledge our disappointment, even after we requested her immediate presence outside at the front desk. It was truly aggravating and disrespectful for her to have put her other work in front of what is the most important part of her job: the customer. I've worked in customer service for the last 5 years and have come to an expectation of what is good customer service and what is poor. After hearing that I was not the only person who was disgusted with the hotel, their management, and their accommodations, I advised the other executives to never return to this hotel again, and to seek accommodations for our conference at a different hotel in Toronto where we have received better service. The executives indeed concluded that our concerns were valid and that they were equally as disappointed with the hotel. I sincerely implore you to revisit your hiring standard, and to remind your staff that the customer truly does come first, no matter what. I have never been more disappointed or disgusted with a hotel or its staff, specifically it's management members. I can promise you with confidence that I will never stay at this Sheraton hotel professionally or personally again in my life. May 15, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by MJK12 Toronto Nice Hotel, Very Nice Staff May 15, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by IBROX Back Home Once again another great vacation meeting staff who are now friends and enjoying Toronto shopping of course, Many thanks to Brian and Blessed for their help, friendship and always taking care of us. Also special mention to Marilyn who was a rock in sorting out our room problem on arrival. She was as she always is very helpful, professional and personable. Too many names to mention but all staff are very helpful and kind to us. May 14, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by canadafan62 complaint sorted quickly stayed here may 5th to may 11th and unfortunately had to make a complaint that was not totally the hotels fault,(drunk guests) this was resolved next morning with an upgrade to a better room no problems or the sometimes couldnt give a damn attitude of some hotels. staff were polite every step of the way.would and will recommend this hotel to anyone May 13, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by None100 Added charges Nice facility, but 17% added to quoted room pricing is unacceptable! How about using full prices like the airlines -- no hidden charges?! May 13, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by pita1126 ok but overpriced The hotel was clean and centrally located but the cost of parking--$50 and the cost of using the internet is way overpriced. There are no maps of the hotel so there is no way to know what restaurants and amenities are available. If you want to order room service you have to find the menu on the tv, be a speed reader or waste 10 minutes until the menu cycles through before calling to place an order. I will say the valet was quick to deliver the car. We will try other hotels next time. May 13, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by LBMScotland Disappointed Having booked a club room we had not been advised of building works and were disappointed to find the club lounge was being renovated and a much smaller area had been allocated. Unfortunately this room could not accommodate all guests at times for breakfast.Had to wait before having our breakfast. No atmosphere in the evening, we spent our evenings out of the hotel at one of your competitors. Never informed at booking or before arrival of renovation work. Not worth the additional money spent.

Rated 2 out of 5 by passer1 Not good value The room value I had was $$$$ but my room was one small double bed, wrinkled carpeting, and no hotel features pamphlet. Receptionist told me no other rooms available due to conferences so I walked by both days and I only saw one conference. I'm sure they are told to give absolute lousiest rooms first. Not impressed as an SPG member for 15 years, by far most overpriced room I have ever had for what I was getting. May 12, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Ccci Good Business Stay This is a good hotel. The rooms were a bit dated and missing a fridge, but clean and perfectly suitable. The hotel is in a great location, with all sorts of dining options within easy walking distance. The staff was very accommodating both to me and the group of several hundred in our conference. I needed a late checkout due to morning meetings and a late afternoon flight and the staff had absolutely no problems providing this. The rate was also very good considering the location.

Rated 2 out of 5 by local2014 time for an update As a loyal Starwood member who travels around the world staying at some of the better properties I was disappointed in my local property. Toronto is a fantastic city and I think it warrants having a great Starwood property. There is a lot of new Toronto competition in hotels and its time to overhaul this run down, tired hotel. Even the Club Floor was an embarassment to the brand. May 12, 2014

Rated 3 out of 5 by will205 Large convention hotel Hotel is typical of large convention hotels built a couple of decades ago. Well located across from Toronto City Hall and convenient to public transportation. Room was average size. Although it is a no smoking hotel, my room, particularly the bathroom, reeked of cigarette smoke. Hotel made effort to eliminate smell at my request, but it remained. Sheets did not fit bed properly. Front desk and concierge staff very friendly and helpful. May 9, 2014

Matsui mashes his way to MVP award
Yankees, slugger could say sayonara despite brilliant Series, Game 6 performance
Originally Published: November 4, 2009By Jerry Crasnick | ESPN.com
NEW YORK -- Hideki Matsui left his native Japan for an exciting new adventure in early 2003. He wanted to play Major League Baseball, but more important, he wanted to be a New York Yankee and wear the uniform of his professional icon, Babe Ruth.
The experiment worked out wonderfully for all involved. The Yankees paid Matsui the handsome sum of $73 million in two contracts covering six years, and Matsui returned the favor by giving the team professionalism, a reliable left-handed ...

APNewsBreak: 15 arrested in prescription drug case
San Diego U.S. border inspectors are not only seizing drugs coming into the country from Mexico - they're making arrests for drug smuggling that's going the other way.
A Los Angeles-area doctor and 14 others have been charged in a conspiracy to smuggle prescription drugs from California to Mexico, authorities said Friday.
The unusual operation sent a flood of opiates to Tijuana pharmacies in exchange for bundles of cash that were brought back into the U.S. American addicts were able to buy the pills over the counter on jaunts across the border from San Diego, investigators told The Associated Press.
Authorities speculated it was easier for smugglers to unload large batches of pills at loosely regulated Mexican pharmacies than to distribute them in small amounts to American street dealers.
They said it's also profitable: A smuggler who buys a pill for about $2 in the United States can sell it to a Mexican pharmacy for about $3.50, and the American addict pays about $6 to bring it back home.
"We got Tijuana in the palm of our hand," Jason Lewis, one of the people accused of smuggling, said in a wiretapped conversation, according to a search warrant affidavit filed in the case. "We've been doing this for years, bro."
Investigators say the San Diego ring is the first they found that was smuggling drugs into Mexico.
The 17-month investigation resulted in the arrest this week of Dr. Tyron Reece, a 71-year-old general practitioner who runs a solo practice in the Los Angeles suburb of Inglewood. He did not immediately respond to a phone message Friday.
Reece wrote prescriptions last year for about 920,000 hydrocodone pills, which are commonly sold under the brand names Vicodin and Lortab, authorities said.
Investigators said the drug organization's ringleader, Anthony "Sam" Wright, 67, earned $1,000 a day by driving rented cars to Los Angeles from a distant suburb to get the pills to couriers who lived in San Diego's northern suburbs. Attempts to reach Wright were unsuccessful.
Smugglers strapped pills to their bodies or hid them in engine compartments before crossing the border. Their favorite checkpoint was San Ysidro, the nation's busiest crossing that connects San Diego and Tijuana. They usually crossed at night.
By law, Mexican border pharmacies must get prescriptions from Mexican doctors for powerful painkillers and psychotropic drugs. But it's not hard to find ones that will break the law.
On a recent Saturday, a white-coated man behind the counter of a tiny Tijuana pharmacy offered hydrocodone for $10 a pop, oxycodone pills for $15 each and 90-tablet bottles of Valium for $130. He spoke fluent English and said prescriptions were unnecessary.
As part of the investigation, a 41-year-old woman was arrested walking across the border around 3 a.m. with 8,200 hydrocodone pills in two juice boxes, and a 37-year-old man was taken into custody walking across with nearly 4,000 hydrocodone tablets tied to his leg and waist.
Profits from the scheme came back to the United States. A 39-year-old woman linked to the ring was arrested entering the United States with about $27,000 cash stuffed in her bra.

Some solid fights so far
Some solid fights so far
Pickett really disappointed me. He took this fight basically on tds, that's it. Neil impressed the hell outta me tho
Guillard didn't really come to fight, just rode his bike the whole time and was hoping Johnson would start fighting stupid and just blindly trade.
Glad for Johnson getting the win there, I suppose Melvin's still something of a "name", but 2-5-1 since he started his skid and that's pretty bad, he's only headhunting these days, looks sluggish and isn't that exciting that they've gotta keep him around. Wouldn't be shocked if he gets cut, ugly fight to watch.
Yea he was not trying to fight at all. Just wanted Johnson to get sloppy enough for him to catch him
Nice finish from Gus, not so nice cartwheel.
Yet another early stoppage. I'm pretty sure I'm only one more bad decision/early stoppage away from simply ignoring the UFC for the immediate future.
Not a bad card. Disappointed by Pickett and Guillard, both didn't look themselves. Guillard simply doesn't fight like he's hungry any more.
The Gus/Manuwa stoppage seemed spot on imo, it seemed like the beginning of the end and anything else would have been prolonging the inevitable.
Really impressed by the new broadcast team; There's obvious room for improvement in Hardy's interview technique, but the play-by-play/colour commentary was excellent. John Gooden's knowledge is clearly better than Goldberg's, as he was picking up on jiu-jitsu opportunities in addition to his excellent analysis of striking tactics/techniques.
Favourite Fighters: A. Silva, Velasquez, Swanson, Bisping, W. Silva, Barnett, Faber, Dos Santos, Manuwa, McCall, Pickett & Poirier
Least-Favourite Fighters: Story, Sylvia, Browne & Lentz
0-1 on sig bets.
That was not early imo. He was flat on his back there, he just would have taken more damage.
Jones says Bader is more deserving of a shot than Gus next lol.

Russia may offer special tax regime for Crimea: Finance Ministry
Published on Mar 17, 2014 3:04 PM
MOSCOW (REUTERS) - Russia's finance ministry said on Monday Moscow may offer a special tax regime for Ukraine's southern Crimea region, which voted overwhelmingly in a referendum on Sunday to join Russia.
"Undoubtedly, the probable accession of Crimea to Russia will have a very serious impact," Deputy Finance Minister Sergei Shatalov told a local business conference.
"I do not rule out a special tax regime (during Crimea's transition period)," he added, without giving any further details.

Activists of the Communist Party of India(Marxist) staged a demonstration here on Sunday in protest against hefty hike in price of petrol in the wake of devaluation of rupee against US dollar.
The activists led by CPI(M) District Committee member K. Anjaneyulu came in a procession from the Sundaraiah Bhavan to the busy Addanki bus stand centre here, raising slogans against the petrol price hike, second increase during this month and making the lives of common people miserable.
Fuel price had gone up for the 200th time during the Manmohan Singh regime, contended its member G. Ramesh as the activists torched the effigy of the Congress-led UPA Government.
The hike would have a cascading effect on the prices of all essential commodities at a time when common people were clueless on coping with price rise, said CPI(M) leader B.Venkat Rao and K.Ramadevi.

Car camping is a great way to start the camping season. With spring showers and cooler temperatures, having the bring a few luxury items can make spring camping ore enjoyable. In this guide we have found some of our favorite pieces of gear to 2015 and a couple other from past years. But we are certain you will be able to find that piece of equipment to make your next camping trip great.
My initial impression of the GSI Outdoors Commuter Java Press, or shall I say French press was great, visually appealing and I loved the color, nice dark blue nylon exterior wrap with a simple and soft touch. It's a perfect size. Not too big and not too small. I hate going through all of the trouble to make a killer coffee only to do it again so quickly afterwards. Anything close to a typical large coffee is ideal and this hits the spot.
As I have been running for about three years now, I have seemed to get bored of the same run over and over. I run up the street around Walmart and back home. A good run no doubt, but it can get old in a hurry. There are many training programs out there and if you follow any of the marathon training programs, you know you have to put in a lot of miles. If you are like me, there is not enough time in the day. So I have some suggestions.
The Volcom PBRJ (Peanut Butter & Rail Jam) event is coming to Brighton Resort on 3/21. This is a free, youth focused snowboarding event open to men and women of all ages - a really fun and interactive event for the boys and girls to show off their skills and compete in a fun environment. Volcom will be providing free food, drinks and giveaways for competitors and spectators.
Grilling, smoking, frying or dehydrating—meat fanatics have a lot of tricks up their sleeves when it comes to preparing their favorite foods. Whether you fire up the grill for hearty barbecue steaks, heat up the skillet for crispy bacon or use a dehydrator to prepare healthy jerky snacks, grill masters and backyard BBQ experts can agree on one thing: Bacon and jerky are both delicious. But which meaty snack is better? Find out here where bacon and jerky battle it out for the title of total meat supremacy.
Each time that I start working on our coverage of the Outdoor Retailer Show I always feel a little overwhelmed. There are so many great products that come out each show and narrowing it down to just a few is always hard. Sometimes I feel like I should include all the products that we see as a team, but in the end always make the decision to highlight some of our favorites. In this Best of Show roundup, we have found 30 products that we are excited about for 2015. We have broken this Best in Show into 3 parts: Apparel, Equipment and Footwear. We hope you find this gear has interesting and innovative as we did.

It's almost certain. India will record the highest ever voter turnout in the 2014 Lok Sabha elections.
With the polling percentage touching a whopping 66 per cent in the 349 constituencies that have gone to polls so far, India is set to break the voting record of 63.56 per cent of 1984. The difference between 1984 and now is that then, it was the emotional thrust of Indira Gandhi's assassination that drove voters outside the cozy comforts of their homes to cast their votes. This time, it is perhaps the feeling of getting their vote counted in the biggest fair of democracy.
Mumbaikars, too, shrugged off their apathy and polled 52.16% in the six seats, recording a handsome gain of over 10 per cent compared to the 2009 Lok Sabha elections when the figure was an abysmal 41.40 per cent.
The highest ever polling was recorded in Assam, Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand, Madhya Pradesh, Odisha, Manipur and Puducherry. "If the present turnout sustains, there is no doubt that the country will break the record of the highest ever voter turnout this time," said Akshay Rout, director general of the Election Commission.
Voting by and large remained peaceful barring a few incidents of violence in Kokrajhar district of Assam and boycott by voters in 12 places in UP, including Mainpuri, where SP supremo Mulayam Singh is in the fray.

Jpk 10.10
Le Jury that have chosen this year European boat of the year said:
The panel of judges assessed performance, comfort, construction quality, price -performance ratio, design and the unique selling criteria of each candidate. '
Performance levels were incredibly high this year. This made our decision very difficult in some cases,'
said YACHT editor-in-chief Jochen Rieker, summarizing the current results. 'We were also impressed with the level of innovation shown by the boat builders
and by their readiness to adapt elements from the regatta scene
, for example,' added the yachting expert.
I think they are talking mostly about the choice for the Performance Cruiser. There was three truly great boats on that category, each of them deserving would have won, in a normal year. It is a pity that they had to compete in the same year against each other:
I am talking about the First 30, the Elan 350 and the JPk 10.10.
Take a look at the comments of the Swiss Jury:
Elan 350
he category of the performance cruiser was the most exciting this year
. At the end, the Elan 350 won, because
she has the best chances on the market
. She combines classy sailing-performance with the comfort-needs of a non-professional crew.
It gives you a hint that the election was not easy and also that personally, if it was not for the market (price), we would have chosen another boat and I believe that boat would be the JPK 10.10, probably the fastest of all the boats involved. The boat is almost new and is already winning some major international races that were dominated by the A35, that is an incredible fast boat.
Compared with the Elan 350 the JPK is less of a cruiser and more of a racer. That does not mean that the JPK 10.10 is not a cruising boat and cannot be used for cruising. It can, but its interior and storage spaces are just not as good as on the Elan 350, that is, of course, a bigger boat.
So let's have a look at the JPK 10.10:
Some speed numbers taken from the Yacht magazine test sail:
40ºTW with 15K wind = 7.0 60ºTW with 15K wind = 7.2K 90ºTW with 15K wind = 7.2K
120ºTW with 15K wind (with spy) = 7.8K 150ºTW with 15K wind (with spy) = 6.6K
These are impressive results, specially close to the wind.

"And the other thing is that the character is not being brought out right. The character of the canyons and the beauty of that place has not been pulled into the golf course. It's been separated. The canyons are on one side of the golf course and then there's been no integration, so the character that we bring out will try to enhance the natural beauty that's already there."
Mickelson's ideas for the North are being executed by the leader of his design team, Mike Angus, with additional input from Mickelson's friend and former instructor, Rick Smith. The city has included in the team Glen Schmidt, a local landscape architect who has worked on many projects with the city.
Before any work begins, Marney said the plans will have to go before the city's Design Review Committee, Park and Recreation Board, Planning Commission, and, depending on the permit requirements, the Coastal Commission. Marney said the City Council will have to approve the creation of the capital improvement project.
Peter Ripa, the tournament director for the annual Farmers Open, applauded the possibility of the renovation. Torrey North is not very popular among PGA Tour players, who ranked its 48th of 52 venues in a poll by Golf World magazine earlier this year.
Ripa said he believes tour players would appreciate less disparity in their scores between the South and North, but he also emphasized that the work "shouldn't be done just for Easter Sunday. … It has to be a golf course that is enjoyable and playable for people of all levels."
Public reaction to extensive work on the North Course is likely to be widely divergent. The North is the cheaper and more playable of the two Torrey Pines designs after the South Course was made more difficult during a redesign that ultimately led to securing the 2008 U.S. Open.
Jim Keith, a 54-year-old San Diego native from Clairemont, played a nine-hole round on the North on Saturday morning. He said cost and playability are the biggest concerns for him at Torrey Pines. He said he applauds the city for its current maintenance of the courses, but doesn't want changes to drive up costs.
"I think it's too steep now," Keith said. "We're paying taxes and it's a public golf course. If they're going to redo it, do it quickly and don't raise green fees because of it."
