Garden Tips: Rotate summer crops to maintain soil
Warm-season vegetables require warm soil to germinate, grow and mature properly.
Warm-season vegetables are generally planted after the last chance of a killing frost. For West Tennessee, that is after April 15. Some warm-season vegetables will survive and produce into the fall, but must be planted no later than early July.
It is important to have your soil tested when planting a vegetable garden. Most vegetables need a pH from 6.0 to 6.5.
Lime influences how well a plant takes up other fertilizers from the soil. The Extension Service has soil boxes and information sheets for taking soil samples. (See contact information at the end of this column.)
It is best not to plant tomatoes or other vegetables in the same location for two consecutive years. If possible, move planting locations for vegetables around the garden so they are not planted in the same place more than once every three years. This does not eliminate, but will help prevent disease from building up so rapidly in the soil.
Crop rotation is also a good way to help cut down on the amount of fertilizer you will need to add to your vegetable garden. Crops vary as to the amount of nutrients they use from the soil. Some plants are classified as heavy feeders, some are light feeders, and some add nitrogen to the soil.
Some of the heavy feeders are corn, cabbage, cauliflower and greens. Some of the light feeders are carrots and potatoes. Plants that add nutrients to the soil include beans and peas.
It would be good to plant your heavy-feeder vegetables where you had your peas and beans, because those vegetables add nutrients to the soil. This can cut down on the amount of fertilizer you add to your garden.
The basic elements for garden fertilizers are nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium. Nitrogen is needed for vegetables that have lots of leaves -- greens or cabbages.
Phosphorus is needed for vegetables that have fruits -- tomatoes or peppers. Potassium is needed for vegetables that have roots -- carrots or potatoes.
If you add too much nitrogen fertilizer to your tomato plants, you can end up with lots of leaves and no tomatoes.
All these elements can be used in your vegetable garden, but in small amounts, depending on the vegetable you are growing.
Also, remember vegetable gardens need about 6 to 7 hours of sunlight per day. Many insects attack plants that belong to certain groups of vegetables. For example, cucumber beetles enjoy cucumbers, squash and melons. They do not bother corn or peas.
E-mail your questions to firstname.lastname@example.com. Include your name and where you live. For more gardening information, call the Tipton County Extension office at (901) 476-0231 or the Shelby County Extension office at ( 901) 752-1207.
Booker T. Leigh is the extension director for Tipton County.

All the Greek restaurants we visited in Rethymnon have had good service and been friendly, but Georgio's is special. Food good too!
So it's authentic....old fashioned maybe....but the service is good.
They know your face and welcome you.
Give you your drinks without ordering.
The Greek dishes are the best on the island...
Only thing missing maybe would be the owner doing a karaoke session....Roy Orbison, Elvis Presley. ..you name it and it would be a perfect 10....
Love, love it
Was there with my family in September 2013 and decided to pop in for dinner.
The place mainly seems to attract Nordic people since it was full with people from Norway and Denmark. How do I know?
Because it's a tradition in this place that once the waitresses warmly welcome and show you to the table they put a flag...
My wife and I dined there every evening! Tasty! Friendly! Personnel speaks English, Russian and some Scandinavian languages!
If you are from Norway - must visit this place!
Although we ate decent (never less than average) and for good prices on the entre boulevard, and although every place has its own specials, the food at Giorgio is absolutly fantastic! Not expensive at all, and very well prepared! Lots of traditional and creative meals, and all of them are nice. The lamb in honey with pomegranadseeds is lovely, as...
All is fresh, local food, fantastic welcome, it's our third time in crete and we visit them regularly
Their moussaka is so very delicious - and not expensive!
Very nice place, comfy chairs, friendly waitress, good service.
Had a great lunch at Giorgio's place on the main road running parallel to the beach. I'm not sure what drew us to the restaurant, as really it looks like all the others nearby, however I am glad we went inside.
From what I can tell, the restaurant is owned and ran by a Greek man with his Swedish wife...
I cannot recommend this restaraunt highly enough. I wish I'd come across it on the first night of my visit, will definitely be returning to Crete so that I can once again experience the excellence that is Giorgios. The food was some of the best I have ever tasted and at a price that would suit anyones budget. The service...

The gloves are off and Charlie Sheen is preparing for full out war as he continues his tirade against Chuck Lorre, creator of Two And A Half Men.
Appropriately, Sheen was interviewed Friday by Loose Cannons host, Pat O'Brien who knows a thing or two about controversy and scandal himself, and RadarOnline.com can bring you the interview.
Reports surfaced Friday that producers will not be paying Sheen for the balance of the season of his hit show, after CBS announced Thursday they were halting production due to Sheen's "conduct and condition".
Not so fast though! Sheen is adamant that he WILL be paid, telling O'Brien: "Defeat is not an option. They know what they did was wrong they are in absolute breach [of contract] I did nothing wrong. They have picked a fight with the wrong guy. Defeat is not an option."
PHOTOS: Charlie Sheen Through The Years
Declaring: "I expressed an opinion, I have the first amendment to support me and I have an army marching behind me, to quote Eminem."
Obviously angry at producers as well as the network, Sheen points out that: "I put a billion dollars in the studio's pockets and I put half a billion dollars in Chuck's pocket. I should of been walking in to sandwiches, massages and h**d jobs. Yeah, I said it!"
PHOTOS: Charlie Sheen's Troubled 2010
Sheen claims he kept his side of the bargain when approached by producers expressing concerns over his recent antics: "Look, they said 'change your life' and I did, in like an hour. They might just be missing the old guy that was turning up every day and hitting gold."
When asked if he had anything to say to the crew on the cancelled show, Sheen advised: "Be patient, get focused, we are at war. There are ways to beat to these clowns."
Charlie also says that he just got to breaking point after show producers "kept getting up into my grill, kept tell me how to live my personal life.. I'm saying 'back off back off' and they wouldn't."
Going on to explain: "I'm the type of guy who doesn't hassle anybody…I think everybody's got a black belt and a gun..so..I don't get in anybody's business."
PHOTOS: Stars Who've Tattoo'd Their Love
But, Sheen says: "I don't interfere in people's lives…I kept asking for that respect and I couldn't get it, I couldn't get it." Then, referring to Lorre and his collaborator Lee Arohnson, "These guys are a couple of AA Nazis and just blatant hypocrites.
"They just do not practice what they preach it's so transparent and so sad."
LISTEN TO CHARLIE'S STRANGE INTERVIEW FROM FEB. 24th HERE (NSFW)
And it's not just show producers Sheen is railing against – he also said he is done with CBS CEO Les Moonves.
"Moonves came to my house and had a man to man request," Sheen claims. "I honored it but he's not honoring his part."
PHOTOS: Celebrities Who Admit To Smoking Pot
Sheen said he worked in a "toxic environment for eight years" being treated like "an unwelcome relative given cold coffee every night a nine o'clock."
And fighting back at rumors Sheen is under the influence, he vowed that he has a "sober, clear mind" and he will "100% line up for a test, in front of anyone, only entrance fee is water." Going on to explain: "You can't make a claim like that unless you are sitting on absolute gold."
PHOTOS: Charlie Sheen With The UCLA Baseball Team
As RadarOnline.com previously reported Sheen has accepted a challenge from us and has agreed to undergo a drug test on Monday to prove he is clean and sober.
In the meantime, don't expect things to settle down anytime soon. Sheen advises his fans, and detractors alike to: "Find the most comfortable seat in the house, lean back and watch – it's about to get really gnarly."

Emmanuelle Chriqui
West Hollywood was brimming over with beautiful babes last night (September 19) as the People StyleWatch Denim Awards took over Palihouse.
Maria Menounos showed up at the GILT-presented event sporting a piled-high bouffant hairdo teamed with a white blouse and jet black trousers.
It's always wonderful when stars gather for a good cause, and last night (April 10) some of Tinseltown's finest showed up at the 3rd Annual Coach Evening to Benefit Children's Defense Fund.
"Mad Men" hottie January Jones looked gorgeous as she strolled around Bad Robot and mingled with the likes of Nikki Reed, Katy Perry, Ellen Pompeo and Hannah Simone.
Looking to raise their profile in the marketplace, Mineral Fusion has tapped Emmanuelle Chriqui as their inaugural celebrity endorser.
The "Entourage" actress will star in the brand's forthcoming campaign with the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence and will also be featured in subsequent promotional initiatives.
Spending their free time raising money for charity, Lance Bass and Emmanuelle Chriqui teamed up at Runyon Canyon in Los Angeles, CA on Monday (July 9).
The two celebrities used social media to raise money for their favorite charities in a head-to-head challenge with charity organization Power of 2 as the former boy-band member sported a dog costume while being led around by the brunette beauty.
Gathering together for press duties on their newest series, Mandy Moore and Emmanuelle Chriqui attended the Disney XD's "TRON: Uprising" Press Event And Reception at DisneyToon Studios on Saturday (May 12).
The "Tangled" actress looked gorgeous while posing for awaiting photographers in a tweed blazer paired with skinny jeans and nude pumps while the "Entourage" beauty opted for a brighter ensemble as she rocked a neon yellow and white striped top, black leather skinny pants and heels.
Disney's television animation crew has put its best foot forward with the creation of its new series, "TRON: Uprising."
Boasting elaborate and strong graphics, the next installment in the favored "TRON" series will be featured on Disney XD while starring the voices of Mandy Moore, Elijah Wood and Emmanuelle Chriqui.
Paying tribute to the league's best over the past season, the 2012 NFL Honors were held at the Murat Theatre in Indianapolis, Indiana on Saturday evening (February 4).
Hosted by Alec Baldwin and featuring a performance by Lenny Kravitz, plenty of star power joined in on the celebration with "Twilight" hunk Taylor Lautner, "Entourage" actress Emmanuelle Chriqui and "Smash" star Katharine McPhee all making appearances.
Always quite the well attended event each and every year, the stars gathered together for the 2012 Art Of Elysium Heaven Gala in Los Angeles, California on Saturday night (January 14).
Held at Union Station, lovely ladies such as Rachel Bilson, Camilla Belle, Minka Kelly and Kirsten Dunst all took turns in the arrivals area before joining in on the black tie soiree festivities.
With a full slate of parties taking place across the States, the stars of Hollywood got all dressed up while joining in on the annual Halloween holiday celebrations this weekend.
Among the Tinseltown couples pairing up this year were a Hermione Granger clad Nina Dobrev and her superhero beau Ian Somerhalder, as well as Odette and Dave Annable doing their best impersonations of Bonnie and Clyde.
Her party always seems to draw out one of the stronger fields each year, and this time around was no different as the stars turned up in the droves for Kate Hudson's Halloween bash on Saturday night (October 29).
Held at the "Fool's Gold" actress' Pacific Palisades estate, costume-clad revelers such as a J Lo dressed Nicole Richie, a bumble bee beautiful Ali Larter and a 60s inspired Zooey Deschanel all shuffled inside for the A-list laden fete.

Erica Bougard is quickly becoming a household name in the track and field world.
As a sophomore last season, Bougard ended the indoor season as the 2013 NCAA Indoor Pentathlon National champion and just recently as a junior, she was crowned 2014 Southeastern Conference champion in the same event.
While the successes are coming quickly, it was not too long ago that Bougard wasn't even sure if she wanted to continue her track and field career on the collegiate level.
"When we recruited her out of high school, she was a big-time basketball player as well," Mississippi State head coach Steve Dudley said. "If you asked her what her first love was, it was basketball. Even though she had a good freshman year, she still mentally was a basketball lover. Inside of her was a conflict with whether she wanted to be a track athlete or basketball player. I really think she had to make a decision at the end of that year whether to stay here at Mississippi State or go somewhere else and play basketball."
Bougard's decision got a bit easier that summer when she travelled to the United States Junior Championships where she qualified for the Junior World Championship team. Getting to compete for her country sparked something inside the athlete. Her passion was ignited and from the moment she returned back to MSU, Dudley said something was different about Bougard.
"That summer was the point it clicked in her that I am good at this and this is something I can be really good at and I can be on team USA," Dudley said. "She always tried hard at practice, but you can tell when a kid is mentally and physically invested. She was always 100 percent physically, but not mentally prior to that. When she put that USA jersey on, she was like, 'OK, I am 100 percent.'"

To visit Greece also as part of his four-day trip abroad
India to sign three agreements with GreeceKalam to deliver lecture at Strasbourg space university
NEW DELHI: President A.P.J. Abdul Kalam will address the European Parliament in Strasbourg on Wednesday, the first ever by an Indian President to the largest union of democratic States in the world.
Mr. Kalam begins a four-day foreign trip on Tuesday that will also take him to Greece. The visit to Greece comes after a gap of 21 years amidst rising hopes of consolidating New Delhi's relations with Athens in a cross sectoral manner. On arrival, he will meet his counterpart Karolos Papoulias.
The President's address at Strasbourg will be on "Dynamics of Unity of Nations." His visit to Strasbourg follows an invitation from the former President of the European Parliament, Josep Borrell Fontelles.
He will also deliver a lecture on "Creative Leadership for Future Challenges in Space" at the International Space University in Strasbourg. The European Union (EU) has 27 members and is increasingly becoming multi-cultural, multi-linguistic, multi-ethnic and multi-religious.
Ties with Greece
On the Greece visit, Secretary (West) in the Ministry of External Affairs Nalin Surie said: "Our bilateral relations have traditionally been warm and friendly. Greece has been supporting India's interests on a variety of regional and international issues. Greece is also an important member of the EU with which India has a strategic partnership."
Mr. Surie told presspersons that three important agreements relating to bilateral investment promotion and protection, science and technology and between foreign service institutes of India and Greece would be signed during Mr. Kalam's visit.
Public speeches
The President will make two public speeches in Greece one at the well-known think tank, the Hellenic Foundation for European and Foreign Policy, on the "Dynamics of Peace and Prosperity" and the other at the National Council for Scientific Research on "Convergence of Technologies."
He will also visit the Commonwealth War Cemetery and pay tributes to the Indian soldiers, who lost their lives in World War II. A visit has been scheduled for Friday to the Rehabilitation Centre for Children with Cerebral Palsy, a concern known to be very close to Mr. Kalam.

VA grants burial rights for same-sex Ore. couple
Friday - 2/15/2013, 4:18am EST
Associated Press
PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) -- The Department of Veterans Affairs has decided to allow the same-sex spouse of a member of the military to be buried in a U.S. national cemetery.
VA Secretary Eric Shinseki used his discretionary authority to allow the burial of Nancy Lynchild's ashes, the agency said Thursday. U.S. Sen. Jeff Merkley, D-Ore., who called Shinseki last month to lobby for the action, said the Oregon couple will become the first same-sex couple buried together in a national military cemetery. The VA said the request was the first of its kind that Shinseki was asked to consider, and the first he has approved.
The decision, which was first reported by The Oregonian, only applies to retired Lt. Col. Linda Campbell and her spouse, Lynchild, and does not signal a formal change of policy. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta said in a memo to the military services this week that the issue of burials remains a challenge and is under review. A hurdle is the federal Defense of Marriage Act, which prohibits the federal government from recognizing any marriage other than that between a man and a woman.
"I felt guilty to some degree when I applied for the waiver for Nancy and me because it felt selfish, in a way," said Campbell, who joined the Air Force in 1968 and later had a long career in the Oregon Air National Guard and Air Force Reserves. "I knew there were many others who longed for this opportunity, and I felt like we should be asking for all of us. But I knew that the Defense of Marriage Act was bigger than I was, and it wouldn't do any of us any good."
Lynchild was 64 when she died in December at the home she and Campbell shared in Eugene, Ore. The couple, who had been together since 1994, were registered as domestic partners in Oregon and legally married in Canada.
Lynchild was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2000 and the couple knew she was dying last spring when Campbell received a phone call from Oregon Labor Commissioner Brad Avakian, who was running for office.
Campbell, 66, asked Avakian about his stance on gay rights and expressed frustration that she and Nancy couldn't be buried together because neither their marriage nor their domestic partnership was recognized by the federal government. She said she and Lynchild wanted to be buried in Willamette National Cemetery, where the ashes of Campbell's mother and World War II veteran father are buried.
"I just felt like we weren't valued and we weren't respected," Campbell said. "And I wanted us to be honored for the people we were and the role I played in the Air Force. And I wanted us to be like mom and dad."
Campbell told Avakian she realized there was nothing he could do to fix the situation. He replied: "Don't be so sure."
Avakian later examined the federal code that covers veterans' benefits and noticed a possible exception to rules that prevent a nonveteran spouse of a same-sex couple from being buried in a VA cemetery. It says the secretary can grant waivers, and he urged Campbell to seek one.
"I knew that things were changing in this country," Avakian said Thursday.
Avakian wrote in support of the waiver, as did Merkley. The secretary, however, only grants them after a death occurs.
Campbell renewed her request when Lynchild passed away. A little more than a month after the death, Campbell got the good news.
"I was stunned to hear from them. I was stunned to get the notice over the phone instead of the mail," Campbell said. "I was in shock. I think my knees went out from under me."
Campbell said the burial will be a private gathering for friends and family. No date has been set. If the waiver had not been granted, the couple's ashes would have eventually been scattered together, and Campbell would have forgone her right to buried in a national cemetery.

When CEO Mark Templeton took the stage at Citrix Synergy this week, it was in front of a graphic that read "Beyond the horizon," perhaps a subtle jab at competitor VMware. Certainly, the tech talks that followed were focused on some pretty innovative projects, such as Octoblu and Workspace Hub.

Schwab's living a dream
By DANA BECKER email@example.com
Click photo to enlarge
IOWA CITY ? Doug Schwab has found success at every stop he has made:
- Osage ? won 110 matches and claimed the 130-pound state title in 1996.
- University of Iowa ? was a three-time All-American, earned a trio of Big Ten crowns and was the 1999 NCAA champion at 141 pounds.
- Virginia Tech University ? helped coach the Hokies to the 2005 regular season Atlantic Coast Conference title and five NCAA Championship qualifiers.
Now, back with the Hawkeyes as an assistant coach, Schwab continues to train so that he may add that final piece to his already impressive resume ? Olympic gold medalist.
The former Green Devil standout was part of an influx of Virginia Tech wrestlers and coaches that returned to Iowa following the hiring of Tom Brands as head coach in 2006.
For Schwab, joining Brands and fellow assistant Wes Hand back where they started was an easy decision to make.
?It was great to come back and have the opportunity to build back up the Iowa tradition,? Schwab said. ?I had some options, but I love working with Tom and Wes. Being able to do it at my alma mater, and close to my family, I couldn?t ask for anything better.?
The chance to better his Olympic-qualifying efforts also helped in making the final verdict.
?Having two Olympic champions (Brands and Iowa legend Dan Gable) around to talk to and work with is great,? Schwab said. ?I have the ability to get what I need on a daily basis, and I also have the freedom to go out to Colorado Springs to the Olympic Training Center or go overseas to tournaments whenever I need to.
?I?m exposed to the highest standard of commitment and mentality each and every day. It builds me each day and makes me more prepared for what I have in front of me.?
So far, Schwab has earned several titles on the international and national scene, including gold at the 2007 U.S. Senior Freestyles, bronze from the ?07 Pan American Games and a fifth at the ?07 World Championships.
Recently, Schwab took time to discuss his Olympic dream, his relationship with Brands and several other topics.
How has knowing Brands and Hand for so many years helped make your staff a cohesive unit?
Schwab: ?This is the fourth year we have been together, but I have known Wes since we were teammates (at Iowa) and Tom has been my coach since 1996. We get along very well personally and professionally, and we try to make our team and staff one big family that is striving for the same thing.?
You were a volunteer assistant last year, but are now an interim assistant. What are the differences in the two positions?
Schwab: ?The only real difference is that now I can recruit off-campus and make phone calls to recruits. Other than that, none of my duties have changed.?
Have you had to change your approach to becoming an Olympic wrestler since returning to Iowa?
Schwab: ?Not at all. I still know the things that I need to do to bring home a gold medal, and Tom is the best boss in the world because he?s extremely understanding in the fact that he knows what I have to go and do to achieve that goal.
?He knows how important this is to me, my family, my state and my country, and he supports me in all that I do. I am in a great position and couldn?t ask any more out of my situation.?
Walk me through a typical day for you during the wrestling season?
Schwab: ?The mornings are devoted to one-on-one time with the athletes or one-on-one for myself. Most of the mornings are spent drilling, working on new skills and perfecting the old ones. Also, a couple of times a week, I push a group of guys through lifts because it is extremely important that our guys continue to build and get stronger.
?During the afternoons, I watch a lot of film on opponents and our guys just to learn tendencies or new techniques. We have afternoon practice after that before finishing up with more one-on-one time to correct problem areas.?
Being a former Osage standout, do you still follow the program?
Schwab: ?I always keep an eye on how Osage is doing. The only time I see any of them wrestling is at state, but I have a lot of pride that I wrestled for the Green Devils and will always be proud of ? and remember ? that it started in Osage.
?I have been so lucky to go from the Osage fans to the Iowa fans. I have been spoiled because I don?t think there are any better fans out there. Osage is known for wrestling and I love that I have been a part of that.?
Former Osage state champion Vinnie Wagner is currently at Iowa. How is he progressing and adapting to the college life?
Schwab: ?Vinnie has been great, so far, on and off the mat. I have been very impressed with his work ethic and fight. It can be a big adjustment and tough coming into a college room, but he has responded well.
?I have seen big progress being made and that is exciting for our coaching staff.?
Iowa takes on intra-state rival Iowa State this Sunday at Hilton Coliseum at 2 p.m. The Cyclones are currently ranked No. 1, while the Hawks are fourth

For the first time New York's Education commissioner John King is signaling there may be too much state testing. King sent a letter to school administrators across the state Thursday saying that he will push to end at least one state test.
New York Education Commissioner John King visited a Long Island elementary school Wednesday where he met privately with educators to talk about the state's new, more rigorous education standards called Common Core. The meeting came after King canceled several public events following a raucous PTA meeting in Poughkeepsie last week.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Tom2014i Hotel Staff is the best staff was very friendly and eager to help. Rooms were clean and plenty of work space. June 16, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by sassadaisy Comfortable and Clean, but Needs Improvement Our room was very nice and clean, we stayed in the Pike Tower, which is why we always choose the Sheraton if we can. The downfalls are: the wi-fi is overpriced and absolutely useless. You can have four devices, but it is soooo incredibly slow to and attempting to stream any video on your device is not worth the attempt. Next time we'll make our phone a hot spot and receive wi-fi from that. The bar was over crowded and you couldn't get service, and the cocktails are overpriced even for Seattle. June 15, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by CKGr exceeded my expectations Hotel was lovely. Rooms were clean, comfortable and well appointed. Bathrooms were a bit outdated. June 15, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by KayK Worst stay Ever Disgusting. My room was never cleaned EVER. When I complained about it I was told it would be cleaned the next day and it was not. Wastebaskets overflowing. Out of Kleenex. Out of coffee. I never put that little tag the door. I feel it was absolutely disgusting. I paid over $250 a day! I will never stay there again. June 14, 2014

Rated 4 out of 5 by Wandering29 Overall, great quality The only complaint was the receipt of someone else's room charge summary upon check out. I also received mine, but was dismayed to receive another individual's also. June 10, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by LAMM Great for conferences We had a huge conference for the week and the hotel was perfect for it! June 10, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by EngineerMike Enjoyed My Stay Nice, friendly, clean hotel - would absolutely stay there again. Only complaint is that I ordered a burger medium well at the bar lounge one night...and it came back medium with juicy red center. That's my only complaint...so..that's minor. It was a pleasure staying at the Seattle Sheraton. June 10, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by unhappychick Not impressed The room was subpar compared to other rooms for the same or less price in Seattle. You could see light all the way around the door -- you could actually slide pieces of paper through the gaps. Beds were very nice but very high and there was only one chair in the room which was an office chair so really no place to relax (other than the bed) or to put your shoes on. Faucets in bathroom were not attached properly so the entire faucet twisted when you turned on the water, also no place to hang your towel or clothing. Had to search the room for the hairdryer... spoiler alert, it's in a box on the top shelf of the closet which I could barely reach. Just all the way around a very bad room! I paid the extra for the Club Room so really expected better. June 9, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by VancouverGolfer Now I remember why I stay here The Sheraton Seattle has it all: location, amenities, service and quality. Situated in downtown Seattle, you can literally walk (or run if you're into that) to all of the major attractions. The Fitness Centre and Pool are great and the views from the 35th floor are breathtaking. The staff are courteous and SPG members are treated especially well. Overall the quality of stay was fantastic. June 9, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by AssistSC This hotel has great features Room met all my expectations June 9, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by HPS51 Great Location This was a hotel located next to the convention center, and various toruist facilities in the area that you could walk to or take public transit. Especially liked the green program with the daily $5 vouchers...never paid more than $2 for breakfast. Very helpful staff. June 9, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by PappyDon My Room #1005 Guest No. 3379176 My room needs improvement. The Alarm Clock did not work. The TV Remove Control only partially worked. The carpet had several stains/spots and repairs that had strings showing. The Room Rate did not match the Room Condition. June 9, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Way42 I love the eco-friendliness. I liked receiving the certificate for reusing the towels, etc. I would normally do this and have tried with other hotels and they ignore the request. You honor the request and give a little extra. It is appreciated. I also appreciate the friendliness and accommodating staff. June 9, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by French59 Hotel was comfortable and clean Hotel was comfortable and clean; staff was very helpful and tried their best to meet the needs of the guest. Only problems: water for bathing wasn't "hot" enough; room could have used a microwave/refrigerator. June 9, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by DMC52 Perfect Seattle Hotel Extremely convenient to downtown sites, shopping and restaurants, friendly and helpful staff, very comfortable room and bed, highly recommend. June 8, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Richie61 Best hotel We always stay at the Seattle Sheraton. Great staff, nice accomodations and perfect location. June 8, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Gregory2014 Excellent Customer Service I stepped outside my room shortly after arrival at the hotel to familiarize myself with the location of the stairwell, ice machine, and general floor layout. When I started to return to my room, I could not locate my key and contacted customer service via the telephone near the elevators. Mike Lewis answered the call and was extremely helpful in assisting me in gaining entrance back into my room. June 7, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Kevin222 Great location The hotel has a great location, is very clean, and has very nice rooms. I found that housekeeping did not always replenish things that I had used such as soap, coffee, and towels. In comparison to the quality of the hotel, I thought that the housekeeping was not at it's best. June 6, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by nofYB disappointing I stayed at the property on a prior occasion and I was in the Union Street tower which had wonderful large rooms. In hopes of improving upon that experience I booked a club floor room. You can imagine my disappointment to find that the club floor room was small and less tastefully decorated than the lesser cost room in the Union Street tower. I wish they would offer the high floor Union Street tower rooms separately on their reservation form. Also, the check-in desk was understaffed and the mob scene to check in was inexzcusable. What extremely poor service!!! June 6, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by 2026 Room accommodations It took a while for the staff to respond to my request but ultimately I loved the King size bed. June 4, 2014

Rated 5 out of 5 by Avery47 Avery This was a very nice clean hotel; located in the middle of Seattle with excellently view of the city and restaurant's surrounded. My stay was great, enjoyed it and the staff was very helpful/friendly. I would definitely stay here again. June 2, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by paulna61 Great Experience Excellant customer service, staff responded right away when they were told our luggage did not arrive with the airplane. They provided me with the necessary items to start the day and directed me to a local men's store where I could buy some clothes while waiting for luggage to arrive. June 2, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Lanihoku638 Perfect Location I would definitely stay here again! Location was perfect; only about 4-1/2 blocks away from Pike's Market, close to other modes of transportation, shops and restaurants. Room was very spacious, clean and the sweet sleeper bed was perfect! June 1, 2014

Youth invited to join leadership program
Now on its 7th season, Young Minds Academy (YMA) has opened its doors once again to youth aged 12-20 years old who will join the leadership and citizenship development training program.
The program launching and orientation was held last Jan. 26 at the Eduardo Aboitiz Development Studies Center on Lopez Jaena Street, Cebu City.
"In Young Minds Academy (YMA), responsibility and perseverance are keys to success. This is no place for suway-suway (trial). This is not a place for people who cannot complete a task. Here, we value both talent and responsibility. Talent may get you in YMA. But to succeed, you need to couple talent with responsibility," Evelyn Nacario-Castro, executive director of Ramon Aboitiz Foundation Inc. (RAFI) Eduardo Aboitiz Development Studies Center (EADSC), said in her speech during the launching.
Since its inception in 2006, YMA has already trained 565 young individuals towards enhanced competence, strengthened character and active citizenship engagement.
For YMA Season 7, the theme is "Urban Development" in support of the Mega Cebu program and framework for long-term and collaborative planning and action towards a more livable and sustainable city-region.
"To our interested youth, expect that YMA will be fun and insightful, but not be easy. But as long as you continue to take the challenge, focus on your goals, and hold on to your desire of serving others and making a difference, your journey with us will truly be meaningful and, hopefully, life-changing," said Dominica Chua, chief operating officer of RAFI.
Interested applicants must form a group of five under the two categories: Generation A (17–20 years old) and Generation B (12-16 years old).
The list of requirements and application forms may be downloaded from www.rafi.org.ph/leadership-citizenship/young-minds-academy.
The deadline of application is Feb. 25.
For more information, call Mel Yan at 4187234 local 110 or e-mail at email@example.com.

Voting began today in referendums called by pro-Russian rebels in eastern Ukraine to split from the rest of the ex-Soviet republic, polls the US slammed as "illegal" as the West fears they could spark civil war.
The vote, carried out as two "referendums" in provinces where the insurgents hold more than a dozen towns, marks a serious deepening of the political crisis in Ukraine, which has pushed East-West relations to lows not seen since the end of the Cold War.
Although a "yes" vote would likely be recognised only by Russia, it would greatly undermine a presidential election Ukraine is to hold in two weeks, which the United States and the European Union see as crucial to restoring stability.
And they come as fighting continued in eastern Ukraine, with several explosions heard overnight in the flash point town of Slavyansk as the Kiev authorities try to flush the rebels from towns they control.
Troops have been battling the well-armed separatists, who have barricaded themselves in towns and cities in the two provinces where the votes are taking place: Donetsk and Lugansk.
The referendums are "illegal under Ukrainian law and are an attempt to create further division and disorder", US State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki said in a statement late yesterday.The votes "violate international law and the territorial integrity of Ukraine," she stressed, adding that the United States would not recognise the result.
Earlier yesterday, France and Germany jointly threatened "consequences" on Russia if the presidential election is scuppered -- echoing US President Barack Obama's warning of automatic sanctions that would slice into whole sectors of Russia's weakening economy. Interim Ukrainian president Oleksandr Turchynov warned that voting for independence would be a "step into the abyss" for these regions and lead to the "total destruction" of the economy there.
Despite rebel claims that the polling will reach 90 percent of the seven million people living in these two provinces, the areas they hold account for less than half that population. They decided to go ahead with the vote despite a public request made on Wednesday by Russian President Vladimir Putin to postpone it.
Polling stations opened in schools in rebel-held territory at 8:00 am (local time) and were to close 12 hours later, according to insurgent chiefs in the city of Donetsk.

Rich D. from desalvo's Posted on 05/31/2015
Really really good item! We use it to strain tea leaves with a metal cone filter. Also great for filtering oil. It is study. Just remember to flip it over before use!
Brandon S. from Sura Korean BBQ & Tofu House Long Beach Posted on 05/20/2015
I use these filters with a 10" fryer oil cone filter holder. Filter the oil very well. Price is very good for the 50 filters.
Zoya M. Posted on 05/14/2015
These are great filter's, cost is less thru the Webstaurantstore site than I can get locally.Great price for a great product, will be ordering more on my next order.
Kevin M. from Fire Ant Grill & Q Posted on 04/22/2015
A highly durable oil filter that we use daily. We have had a hard time finding these locally and since we do a lot of shopping with webstaurantstore, we were glad to stumble across these.
Scott S. from BDGrilling, Inc. Posted on 02/10/2015
Great product. I would recommend it. We use it for our oil to prolong the life. It also works well for cooking when a fine strainer is needed.
Anthony C. from Cocina Mexico Posted on 01/16/2015
great price & great value - shipped to canada & with freight & exchange still way ahead of what my costs were locally will order again
Mike R. from mike rawluk Posted on 11/21/2014
Awesome product , great quality, and great prices. Definitely recommend this product. Speedy delivery when purchased . Great restaurant company to buy this product from!! Thumbs up!
Donna M. Posted on 10/20/2014
Great price on these. We filter our fryer every day and these are very affordable which helps maintain the quality of our oil for a longer period of time.
Andrea H. Posted on 10/08/2014
Have purchased these before.. well made product and cheaper than I can buy locally even with shipping. Webstaurant has kept me as a customer and will continue to do so.
Brian B. from B-4 Investments LLC dba Wallys Posted on 09/29/2014
These are very good-quality filters and are very inexpensive. They make straining / filtering used fry oil quick and easy. The filters have enough extra length so that they can be folded over the top of the filter holder so that they stay open. They are much stiffer than you might expect; they're not like typical, consumer-market coffee filters. Why only four stars? These filters are only well-suited for filtering out large particles. A good deal of flour settled to the bottom of my storage bucket after the oil had been strained through this filter. They may perform better with an oil filtration additive.
Stephen K. Posted on 08/24/2014
Awesome product!! Just as described and fits my needs to perfection, perfect for a small business mobile food unit. I will be reordering this in the very near future. Thanks!
John O. from Lil Johnnys Crab Shack Posted on 08/19/2014
Great filter cone paper. Use this with the manual filter cone holder and the tiniest particles did not seap thru.Recommend turning the paper inside out if using the cone holder it will lay better and not fold over.
Christopher S. from STANS CONCESSIONS Posted on 08/15/2014
if you want to keep the fry grease clean and save money on oil this is for you. fry oil keeps costing more so saving the grease is a must do. great value
Randall H. from Randys family restaurant Posted on 08/14/2014
A crucial part of our operation; its a product that we expect to stay put in the holder and do its job and it does. No complaints.
Lee C. from October Catering Posted on 08/02/2014
10 "Paper Grease Filter Cone 50 / Box qualities are equal and less expensive grease paper I usually, use an economy for me. I recomande.
Pierre S. from Cantine Jaloux Posted on 07/29/2014
The perfect companion to the fryer oil strainer basket! This is a must-have in any kitchen that has a fryer. I used these 35 years ago in my first restaurant and it makes my life so much easier to strain fryer oil. Captures everything and leaves the oil clean and see-thru.
Joni T. from Sunset Grill Posted on 07/13/2014
We used this in conjunction with cone filter holder and they work lovely, a very tough material that can even withstand hot liquids around 150 degrees, it really catches all the small particles.
Richard G. from Green Zone B & G Posted on 05/26/2014
I bought same thing 10" Paper Grease Filter Cone 50 / Box from other company, they charge us much more per box, this is a great price here, thank you!
Jing Z. Posted on 04/16/2014
These filters are great. They feel very thick and durable but at the same time oil flowed quickly. Also comes with instructions. They are well worth the money.
Donald S. Posted on 03/11/2014
These paper filters are great, a bit pricey for paper, but they are very high quality. They take very hot temps with no worries,. They fit the 10" metal holder perfect.
Karen B. from Gilpin Market Posted on 01/31/2014
We seem to go thru so many of these and you just throw them away, so if you are looking for a good low cost solution these fit the bill.
John H. from Harts Repair Service. LLC Posted on 01/28/2014
I used these filters when i am pouring the grease in my fryers. I have a concession trailer and do alot of small events so i reuse my oil. this works great
Randy A. from Vision Ministries Posted on 12/11/2013
These filters are strong and do not tear. They stay in place and catch all but the smallest debris. Great when used with the filter holder. Price is great, as usual.
Michael L. from Michael's Pizza Posted on 10/12/2013
These are excellent product for the price point, they work well and do a great job filtering oil, these are a must have when using fryers
Jeff F. from JK Concession Service Posted on 07/02/2013
Great product holds up well to filtering. Nice to be able to filter the oil and then just throw the filter away for no muss no fuss.
Thomas W. from TRW Posted on 05/22/2013
I purchased these, along with a holder, when I got a fryer at home and there was too much fat to strain through coffee filters. I'm so glad I found the proper equipment at a low price! btw- The holder doesn't take up much room.
Midori H. from Mimi Posted on 04/14/2013
We're from the south & we fry everything, so I have a "built in" deep fryer which is not real easy to clean. These cones make the job easier & saves money by keeping the oil clean for re-use.
Harold O. Posted on 03/02/2013
Once again this is only used for emergency. It has done the job time and time again, and will continue to do so. Need a cheap back up plan if your pump goes this is it.
Robert C. from Gator's Dockside Posted on 02/05/2013
These paper filters are made for the cone. they work fine ,and keeps alot of the junks out. it is worth the price. will recomend.
A. N. Posted on 02/04/2013
This paper grease filter is great to have if you don't have a filtering system. They are very inexpensive and come in a pack of fifty.
Laura B. Posted on 02/03/2013
This paper grease filter cone is necessary for restaurants with a fryer. It is very important to filter fryer oil at least once a week to keep it clean.
Lindsay D. Posted on 01/23/2013
These filters are perfect. Much more inexpensive that others we've purchased and they're every bit as good. Filters the grease fine, and that's all we intended for them to do.
Marolyn J. from Fast Times Posted on 12/02/2012
Filters for the holder I bought works great , filters out the small particles so now my oil lasts longer and saves me money. Well priced.
Bob Y. from Route 191 Diner Posted on 06/05/2012
These cones were both less expensive and less likely to collapse while filtering my fryer oil than the ones I could get through my main supplier.
Christopher B. from The Kitchen Posted on 05/15/2012
i spent a long time looking for something to filter my cooking oil with and finally came across this cone filter. They work great when doubled to get even the finest of particles out of the oil.
Keith M. from Keith McGee Posted on 05/15/2012
I absolutely love these grease filters. If you double them up like the instructions say, they filter even the smallest particles out of the grease. I buy these over and over again. You will not find a cheaper price on these ANYWHERE!
Keith M. from Keith McGee Posted on 05/15/2012
Excellant filter for the peanut oil we use in ourclens the oil while filtering allowing extended use for additional fryings. fryer. When coupled with the filter holder it is a safe and convient way to filter the grease/oil.
Wil S. from Home Cooking Posted on 02/29/2012
It's made of high quality material.It won't break easily.Help to prevent the mess and spill. Easy flowing and catching all sizes of debris.Keep the oil clean for reuse.
Keo p. from Bangkok Place Thai Restaurant Posted on 02/21/2012
I have a small business with one large footless iron dutch oven with which I fry fried pies and this is the system I use to strain the oil. These are very good filters, sturdy and professional quality.
Aileen F. from Babycakes Bakery Posted on 09/06/2011
Great filters, plenty of room for oil to filter. Oil is free of all food particles when done. Oil filters through at a fast pace. I warmed mine a bit before straining, then pour into a couple empty gal milk jugs, refrigerate until I need it.
terry d. from Terrys Posted on 06/09/2011
these worked great to filter the oil every night and helped to keep the oil fresher and last longer. We use with the filter aid and saved on oil.
Leonard L. from T & L Lewis Snacks Posted on 04/28/2011
I purchased a box of this filter...should have purchased 2! This is a great quality filter and I use it to filter over 2 gallons of oil each time I fry up chicken wings. Filter is made of strong material and it does its job in getting all the residues out of the oil.
Jae S. Posted on 04/11/2011
These filters work very well. They do catch all sediments left in the oil after cooking. They do hold up to the hot oil. I am very satisfied with the filter and price.
Daniel O. Posted on 01/30/2011
love this product!!! in our bussiness we use alot of oil and as we know grease is messy.this helps us to filter our oils neatly and as clean as possible it helps us to be able to filter our oil so that we can use it longer. if you cook fries,fish or chicken then this product is a must.
Lisa D. Posted on 12/05/2010
I order these very often, I can get them from WEBstaurant because they are cheaper than any where else I have found them. The shipping is quick and dependable.
Tracie C. from Burger Barn Posted on 12/03/2010
Great filter material. Drains quickly and is large enough that it doesn't get clogged at the tip. I use the filter over a large bowl, which I then pour into the oil container through a funnel.
David S. Posted on 10/05/2010
These filters are great, easy to use with the filter cone holder. Makes straining oil from my small deep fryer very easy with no mess!
James C. from The Spotted Calf Cafe Posted on 08/29/2010
A very good quality filter cone for the money. If you have a deep fryer, these are a necessity for helping to keep your oil fresh longer.
Wesley O. from morton pub Posted on 07/18/2010

Does everyone here paint there minitures?
Posted 04 March 2014 - 03:18 PM
Also, I read on the net that for shading characters (making the small features more defined) you can just mix black paint with water and cover after painting. Does anyone else do this? Any tips would be appreciated as I am thinking of redoing a few of my characters as I became too impatient to finish and did a bit of a rush job.
Posted 04 March 2014 - 03:35 PM
I don't paint My Talisman figures but I do paint some of my other miniatures. There Mini's are a pain because they are such "soft" plastic, not the high-density resin like stuff GW uses for their lines. I usually use GW, Vallejo or Reaper paints. Some of the ones I use are from the craft store but they have nowhere the consistency or fine pigment to them.

Posted 04 March 2014 - 05:49 PM
I have started painting all of mine. Thats 29 character+4 toads and reaper. About half are done, and half have 3-4 colors on them. And just that (some color, not even doen) does so mutch with the feeling of the game.
I palyed the game the other day with a friends version of the game, unpainted, and it felt naked compared to my own ones.
I use games workshop paint, mainly becouse i also have warhammer. I would think that would be expensive to buy colors for all those models. I advise asking some warhammerplayers to paint them for you actually, find a local club and pay some bucks for ppl to paint them. It's cheaper than buying all those colors anyways, and you don't need to do the work yourself.

Posted 05 March 2014 - 10:57 AM
I would love to have them painted, as I'm useless at doing that sort of thing myself. I've seen some companies that will paint them for you, but I'm nervous about shipping all of my minis to them. Has anyone tried that route?
I would like to try the same with a couple of mine aswell. I did know the perfect place in Australia where I used to live, it was a "warhammer" themed shop in the mall around the corner from my old apartment (they had a huge table with some kind of battlefield and all these decorated characters and a big scary and hairy man used to teach people how to play). They sold all the paints and equipment but I wasn't interested back then and am in Italy now and haven't come across any shops like that here yet.
I have ordered blood moon so will have another go myself. I think one of my big problems is the quality of my brushes as I keep having to redo areas again and again because the bristles are all split and go in every direction. I don't have the surgeon hands either . I actually used a gold and silver pen for the metallic things like swords and armour but I think that is starting to fade away. I used some basil for grass and curry powder for desert sand
Posted 05 March 2014 - 11:59 AM
That must lead to some particularly aromatic Talisman sessions! I think for now I'll ask at my local gaming store in DC because I'd feel much more comfortable dropping them off and picking them up in person rather than shipping them.

Can you let me know how much they charge and how long it will take them to paint? If it seems reasonable It might encourage me to search for a game shop here. I searched amazon for different paint and thought the professional ones like Vallejo and reaper paints were very expensive, I found an all purpose acrylic 9 colour set that costed something like 4 times less but looking at some of the figurines online they appear far superior.
Posted 05 March 2014 - 04:55 PM
I have painted all my figurines, last 4 included, so thats about 62. I used Testor decorative paint, about 25 colors for 50$. I'v never painted before except walls...But decided to try with talisman's minis because i love that game. I'm happy with the result, not a pro but still , but i will use a varnish to protect them longer. I had to use a hair dryer after painting, had some troubles if not.
It makes the game looks better with painted figurines. And more satisfying when doing it yourself.

I paint mine! Got 15 done so far, using Vallejo Game Colour. I'm finding it pretty addictive, actually... the key is priming the next one before you've finished the one you're currently doing...

I got my husband a bunch of miniature paint for Christmas because he wants to paint our miniatures, but we haven't had a chance to break it out yet. He did a lot of miniature painting as a kid, but I've never really done it.
Any estimates on how much time we could expect to spend per miniature? I know that's an asinine question, as you have to take in level of detail desired, inherent painting aptitude, and previous experience, but should we expect to spend more than a couple of hours per miniature in general? Just trying to budget out some time with work and the kiddos.
Posted 26 March 2014 - 06:16 PM
Like you said it depends on the amount of detail....but for one character with minimal highlights: about 2 hours. I am kind of slow and I like to put 5 or 6 layers of highlights so it takes me about 10 hours per miniature.
I find the quickest way to get a decent looking miniature, in a relatively quick time frame, is to put one dark coat of all the base colours then drybrush it with a medium shade and then put a light highlight of that color in essential areas.

Character Playing Tokens for Old School Players at Talisman Island is an option if you don't paint miniatures or aren't very good at painting. Just purchase some slot bases to put them in!

My girlfriend is painting mine as my birthday xmas present this ear and it is seriously one of the best gifts ever. She is doing a great job. I will post pics when she has 20 or so done. I believe she is one # 8 or 9.
