To embed, copy and paste the code into your website or blog:
Does the Department place witnesses under oath at a fairness hearing? Yes. 10 CCR § 250.24.
Who asks questions of the witnesses? The applicant, the target and other interested parties (typically security holders of the target) are each permitted to call witnesses. In a typical fairness hearing, the applicant and the target will conduct the direct examination of their respective clients.
Who presides at the hearing? The Commissioner typically does not conduct the hearing herself but delegates this responsibility. In the case of the Facebook/Instagram hearing, one DOC attorney acted as the hearing officer and another served as counsel to the Department. The hearing officer has the authority to rule on the admission or exclusion of evidence and to take all necessary action to insure a fair and orderly hearing. 10 CCR § 250.24. During the hearing, the hearing officer and the counsel representing the DOC may ask questions of the witnesses. Following the hearing, the hearing officer decides whether the proposed transaction meets the fairness standards set forth in statute and the Commissioner's rules.
Is it OK to lie at the hearing? No.
Witnesses testify under oath. A person who testifies under penalty of perjury and who willfully states as true any material matter that he or she knows to be false, is guilty of perjury. Cal. Penal Code § 118. It is no defense to a prosecution for perjury that the accused did not know the materiality of the false statement made by him; or that it did not, in fact, affect the proceeding in or for which it was made. It is sufficient that it was material, and might have been used to affect such proceeding. Cal. Penal Code § 123. In addition
In addition, Corporations Code Section 25404 provides that it is unlawful for any person to knowingly make an untrue statement to the Commissioner during the course of any "licensing, investigation, or examination" with the intent to impede, obstruct, or influence the administration or enforcement of any provision of the Corporate Securities Law of 1968. This statute was added in 2003 in response to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and it remains to be seen whether it will be interpreted to apply to fairness hearings.
What are the possible consequences of lying? Perjury as defined in the Penal Code is a crime that is punishable by imprisonment. Cal. Penal Code § 126. A violation of Section 25404 may result in criminal prosecution pursuant to Section 25540, civil penalties pursuant to Section 25535 or administrative penalties pursuant to Section 25252.
Is it possible to obtain a copy of the transcript of the Facebook/Instagram hearing? Fairness hearings are transcribed by court reporters. 10 CCR § 250.23. The Department posts the transcripts on Cal-EASI. See California's Big EASI. In fact, the transcript of the Facebook/Instagram hearing is available here.
Do these allegations call into question the validity of the fairness hearing procedure? No. Whenever witnesses are called to testify before a tribunal, it is possible that someone will lie. This possibility exists whether the witness is testifying in a court of law or in an administrative hearing. To do away with fairness hearings because a witness might lie makes no more sense than eliminating the filing of registration statements with the SEC because registrants might misstate material facts. More importantly, the DOC has a decades-long track record of conducting fairness hearings without any evidence of significant investor losses.

MADISON – Beginning Monday, March 17, Boone County public schools will be returning to normal operating conditions with regards to the use of water, according to Boone County Schools Superintendent John Hudson.
In a March 11 letter to parents, Hudson said the school system has worked with the West Virginia National Guard and others to test water at the schools several times for traces of the chemical MCHM.
"During the latest round of testing, all schools received a non-detect reading for MCHM at 2 parts per billion (ppb)," Hudson said. "In addition, the US Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has declared the water to be safe. The 2 parts per billion is 500 times more protective than the CDC's public safety guideline."
Hudson added that bottled water would be available for student and staff consumption in schools as long as supplies last. He said hand sanitizer would be available as well.
"Once current water supplies have been depleted, you, as parents or guardians are welcome to send bottled water with your child or children and provide a packed lunch, if you desire," he said. "Thank you for your patience and understanding during this challenging time."
In Charleston, the final set of school water test results have returned with a non-detect reading at the 2 parts per billion (2ppb) screening level for all schools in the nine counties affected by the January chemical spill into the West Virginia American Water supply.
In late February, Governor Earl Ray Tomblin called for additional water testing to confirm that all schools in the counties impacted by the chemical leak on Jan. 9 are under 2 parts per billion (ppb).
The West Virginia National Guard revisited more than 100 schools in Kanawha, Boone, Clay, Cabell, Lincoln and Putnam counties.
All results are being posted on the West Virginia Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Management website: http://www.dhsem.wv.gov/Pages/WV-American-Water-Emergency.aspx
Previously, the National Guard took samples from all schools for lab testing at a level of 10 ppb, which is 100 times more protective than Centers for Disease Control & Prevention's (CDC) recommend level of 1 part per million.
The new 2ppb testing standard is 500 times more protective than the CDC's public safety guideline.
"We have been testing water in all of our schools at the governor's more stringent level of 10 parts per billion, which is 100 times more rigorous than the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention's recommended level of 1 part per million," said Adjutant General James Hoyer. "After testing thousands of lab samples, chemists can now confidently test at 2ppb. This additional safety factor is one more example of how the governor has gone above and beyond the federal recommendations to bring added confidence to parents, students and staff to ensure the highest level of public safety."
Additional testing will continue and any school that tests above the two parts per billion will be re-flushed and retested, Hoyer added. He said, moving forward, the Rapid Response Team established earlier this month to address issues in schools will continue to answer and investigate calls.
"Student safety continues to be our top priority," Gov. Tomblin said. "As a parent, I understand that families need the additional peace of mind that comes with this testing."
"I applaud the governor for taking these additional steps," said Jim Phares, West Virginia Superintendent of Schools. "We are taking every precaution because we know that parents trust us to keep their children safe."
"I have been very proud of our maintenance department and school custodians and cooks for all of their diligent work during these difficult times," Hudson said regarding Boone County schools. "It is so encouraging to see Boone County Schools' employees working to do what is best for students, even if it involves extra work out of the normal routine."
Hudson said information for Boone County public schools, including a press release from the West Virginia Department of Education and the West Virginia National Guard, may be accessed on the Boone County Schools website at www.boonecountyboe.org

well that was quick
BJ Penn signs on the dotted line. He will get a chance to avenge his loss to Frankie Edgar at UFC 118 on August 28 at the TD Garden in Boston, Massachusetts. Also on the card,
Randy Couture vs. James Toney
Joe Lauzon vs. Terry Etim
Nate Marquardt vs. Rousimar Palhares
Andre Winner vs. Nik Lentz
Marcus Davis vs. Nate Diaz
well that was quick
Is that Randy couture vs James Toney fight a joke ?
i think dana is throwing toney to the wolfs because he (toney) was harassing him for months about being in the ufc. randy will destroy him.
I didn't see it but that would be a big mistake for Toney to fight Couture for a first fight.
Couture SHOULD win but if Toney wins, that kills all credibility coming from a what 5,6 time ufc champion and making boxing look great, din thomas has alot riding on his shoulders too. Nate vs. Palhares should be a good fight, and I hope davis breaks nate "I throw punches like a 5 year old girl" Diaz's face into a million pieces.

A Shared History, A Shared Future: The Game
Community based groups have been exploring the ways in which slavery in all its forms throughout history has operated, and how it relates to our lives in Birmingham.
A project with Chandos Primary School
There are many ways culture is expressed. We explored our culture through games.
This project began with a visit to Birmingham Central Library by Year 5 students from Chandos Primary School to look at the Parker Archive of Games, and other material about slavery. The group then examined their own games, of all kinds, and thought about where they had come from, and who they had learned them from.
Film maker John Hill-Daniel led workshops with Drama worker Rebecca Hemmings, learning through play, looking at what those games said about the people who had made them, and the people who had used them.
Having learned about slavery, past and present, we adapted games and created our own games to say something about slavery. We used games to examine our identity and explore issues of slavery.
We then learned how to make a film, made the script and produced our own film, based on what we had discovered through the project.
Games and Birmingham City Archives
The objectives, rules and the artwork in games can provide cultural indicators about who has made the game, who plays the game and where a game has come from.
When Chandos Primary School visited archives they looked at the Parker Archive of Games.
They looked at games like Saucy Sybil and My Lady Betty. Paper dolls have been popular with little girls for a long time and these are particularly fine examples. Their costumes are those of a fashionable young girl in London in the 1890s.
They also looked at games like Fancy Bazaar, a trading game, with hand-coloured cards representing the stall holders and produce cards showing everything from cabbages to fancy goods which were available in shops at the time the game was made.
There are tangrams in the collection. These have more obvious links with indentured labour. The name is derived from a cross between Tan i.e. from the Tan dynasty, China, and gram, as in diagram meaning pictorial representation. The Game first appeared here in the 1800s, and was more than likely brought to America and Europe by Chinese labourers.
The children made their own Games about slavery, derived from their own games. We also made an adaption of a common Parlour Game. Every player has a card, but does not know who they are, but everyone else can see who everyone else is (it might be useful to attach the card to your back). By asking questions which can only be answered yes or no, work out your age, what you do, and where you are from.

(BPT) - Builders are back in business, and new-home construction is up in areas across the country. So is remodeling, as plenty of Americans choose to stay put and upgrade their current homes rather than tackle the challenge of buying and moving into something new.
If youĺre planning to renovate your home, you can tap some of the hottest trends showing up in new-home designs. Here are four new-home trends that offer strong returns on your time and money:
1. Creating a view ľ Americans continue to embrace all things green and that trend is showing up in new home construction in a number of ways, including an emphasis on energy-efficient windows that bring the outdoors inside with a great view.
If your home has older windows, theyĺre likely not as energy efficient as newer options, so replacing them can improve your heating and cooling efficiency. Window replacements typically provide a high return on investment at the time or resale, too ľ more than 73 percent for wood windows and 71 percent-plus for vinyl, according to Remodeling Magazineĺs Cost vs. Value Report.
While youĺre replacing your windows, you also have the opportunity to open up your home more to outdoor views. Work with your architect or designer and contractor to determine where the best views are, and how much additional glass you can incorporate into your renovation to capitalize on those views.
2. Adding a bathroom ľ When it comes to renovations that improve resale value and enhance a homeĺs usability, adding a bathroom is at the top of the list for many homeowners. While todayĺs new smaller homes often have less square footage, demand for multiple bathrooms has not changed.
In existing homes, adding a bathroom can sometimes pose plumbing challenges. Up-flush plumbing can solve a lot of them. Up-flush systems pump waste and water from a toilet, sink or bathtub up and out, instead of into a below-floor sewage pit.
Up-flush toilets enable homeowners to easily and cost-effectively install a bathroom virtually anywhere without breaking through the floors ľ a special advantage when those floors are made of concrete. That means adding a basement bathroom doesnĺt require cutting into a homeĺs concrete foundation, and you can easily add an attic bathroom without tearing up the first-floor ceiling. According to Saniflo, makers of up-flush plumbing products, adding a bathroom using this type of plumbing can cost about $5,000 less than one that uses conventional plumbing.
3. Defining the kitchen ľ Kitchens are another popular renovation that pays off in a number of ways. Architects are fine-tuning the popular wide-open floor plan concept, and the change is showing up in the kitchen. Favored designs now open the kitchen on one side to an adjoining room, such as the family room, but enclose the other three walls to create a more defined space, as well as more storage and cabinet options.
This trend works particularly well in older homes where you frequently find a completely separate kitchen. Now, rather than ripping out three walls to create an entirely open flow, you can tap the latest kitchen design trend by opening up just a single wall in the kitchen. This leaves the space well-defined, but also adds the open, social feeling that is so appealing in many new home designs.
4. Maximizing every inch of space ľ With smaller floor plans gaining popularity, making the most of every inch of space is vital. New-home design employs entertaining nooks, breakfast alcoves, built-ins, pocket doors and other tricks to use every inch of space wisely.
Itĺs a trend that also works well in older homes that may have smaller rooms and less square footage than the McMansions popular a few years ago. For example, itĺs easier to add a built-in desk to a spare corner and create an office alcove than it is to add an entire office to your floor plan.
If you crave a fresh environment and the latest home design trends, you donĺt have to give up your old home and tackle the hassles of moving into something new. With some planning and creativity, itĺs possible to translate some of the hottest new-home design trends into your renovation project.

Anyone running CS6?
Hey everyone-
Looking to upgrade my wife's computer who runs a business with me. I upgraded myself to the Macbook Air last March (basic 13.3", 4gig memory, 128ssd) with an External 23" Apple Cinema display hooked up to it in my office.
We run a printing company - our graphics person has a top of the line iMac - my wife has currently been helping more with prepress/typesetting work, nothing with heavy graphics though, and wants to get a MacBook Pro....
Wondering if she would be fine to run CS6 on a new Air. Really trying to avoid dropping the bucks for the Pro. (I had run CS5.5 trial on my Air and it seemed fine but I dont edit files or anything)
I have been so happy with my Air, love everything about it, but for some reason she is resistant to it.
What do yall think? She would be ok to do light graphics work/typesetting on an Air with an external monitor? (PS- All our files are on a server so hard drive space is not an issue)
|Dec 7, 2012, 11:57 AM
CS6 runs great on a 2012 MBA. For light graphics work and typesetting, she'd probably be fine with an older MBA as well. A big bonus of the MBA is that it comes standard with the SSD, which is a big win in stuff like program startup. (For instance, Photoshop CS6 Extended starts in 4 seconds for me.)
The big advantages of the MBP are a higher quality display, greater expandability (for instance, higher max RAM) and a bigger drive. With an external monitor, the internal display does not matter as much.
One thing I just remembered is the MBP has a discrete GPU instead of the integrated Intel HD 4000 in the MBA. Photoshop does make use of the GPU for some effects. You might have some benefit in speed using the discrete GPU instead of the integrated one in some ways, though I have not run into a need for it. The discrete one is apparently used much more in the video apps in CS6, but it sounds like your wife doesn't need those.
|Dec 7, 2012, 12:04 PM
Thanks for the response.
We actually never use Photoshop unless a customer sends us a file in that format- typically we mainly just run InDesign and Illustrator - dont know if that makes any difference to you for your recommendation.
So if we I went with the MBA for her- 4 gigs or 8 gigs of memory? I know people on here always say "Oh you got to have 8 gigs and the biggest harddrive or life wont go on" but in all seriousness- will 4 gigs be enough?
Thinking about just buying 2 more MBA 13.3, 4gigs, 128- one for her and one for another person here who needs an upgrade. Can do 2 MBA for the same price as the Pro she wants!
|Dec 7, 2012, 12:10 PM
FWIW, I didn't have problems with a 2009 MBA with InDesign and Illustrator. I don't have any problems with those apps now.
Illustrator CS6 only uses the GPU for gaussian blurs. It works fine on the integrated GPU. I don't believe that InDesign uses the GPU at all.
I have 8GB in mine, but that's because I wanted to make sure it would suit my needs for a couple years or more. You are probably in a better position than me to evaluate how much memory she uses today. You would probably be OK either way.

In a few words Amber Tree is a perfect place to stay in Cape Town. We adored it!
Lungile Lodge beachfront backpackersPort Elizabeth, South Africa
The hostel is very well located and the staff is very nice, but our room was not the cleanest and it smelt a bit strange. But overall it's a good place to stay.
Happy Hippo International Backpackers LodgeDurban, South Africa
Probably the most spacious and stylish hostel I've ever been. Everything and everywhere in it is so full of fancy details of decoration that touring around the place was kind of compulsory to me and friend. Loved it!

Not the very best location, but in a whole this is an excellent option in Krakow. Would definitely stay there again!
Apple Hostel MoscowMoscow, Russia
This hostel is well located, my bed was a good one and the girls at the reception are very friendly. Unfortunately this is what I liked about it. Too many people in such a small place, not much space for guests in any room, bathrooms and restrooms were always busy, in 6 days me and friend could only use the hostel kitchen once because it was always crowded and noisy and despite of the friendliness of the girls at the reception they didn't seem to know much about the city in a whole.
Soul KitchenSt Petersburg, Russia
I simply have no words to describe this place because it is beyond perfection. The funky decoration, the spacious rooms, the cleanliness, all the smiles and accurate information we can get from the lovely girls at the reception, the international calls for free, etc, etc. I have never been that spoilt in a hostel before, but Soul Kitchen Junior made me feel that way in the moment me and friend stepped in. Would definitely go back!
GIDIC BackpackersTallinn, Estonia
I cannot complain about anything in this hostel, except the cleanliness in some parts of the hostel, especially in the kitchen. Out of this, I loved the way we were treated, all the useful information me and my friend got and the good location of Gidic Backpackers. Would definitely stay there again!
Riga HostelRiga, Latvia
Very cozy hostel in the very heart of Riga, just a few steps from the Old Town and next to train and bus station. Could not have asked for more.

Excellent place to stay and make friends. I am very happy I booked this hostel to stay in Vilnius and will definitely recommend it to everybody coming to this beautiful city. My thumbs up for it! :)
Fest HostelWarsaw, Poland
Simply loved this place and would definitely stay here again. I highly recommend it!
Rainbow Apartments 3Krakow, Poland
The building where Rainbow Apartments 3 is located can scare you at first, but once we step in you get completely overwhelmed. The apartment is super and its bathroom + shower is the best I have tried on my trips. Overall, I highly recommend it!
Gordon InnTel Aviv, Israel
Abbasi Palace HotelAmman, Jordan
The old town of Amman is dirty and noisy, but the staff at this hostel made us feel at home almost immediately. They invited us to have dinner with them 2 nights, they gave us bottles of water everyday and didn't charge a penny for them, and always greeted us with a big smile on their faces. I can say with all my traveling experience that this is best hostel staff I've ever met.
Saba'a HotelPetra, Jordan
Very nice place, just a five minute walk from the main bus station and a 10 minute walk to Petra Visitor Center. Gail is a lovely person and treated us sweetly. The rooms are very good and the breakfast is pretty decent. I definitely recommend it!
Bedouin Lifestyle Campwadi Rum, Jordan
One of the best experiences me and friend have ever had during our trips. Wadi Rum is amazing, and so is this camp and its staff. We loved every single minute we spend there! And what a delicious dinner, wow!!!
Bedouin Garden Village AqabaAqaba, Jordan
The hostel is 12 kms away from Aqaba Center, but if you want to relax from the noise and enjoy the beauty of the Red Sea with tranquility, that's the place to be. Very nice staff, very good food for a pretty reasonable price. I definitely recommend it!
HI EilatEilat, Israel
Wonderful location, right in the center of Eilat. The rooms are clean, spacious and comfy. The only complaint would be about the heat during summer time, but that's not their fault. :-)
HI MassadaDead Sea, Israel
Amazing location, right next to Masada National Park. From there it's very easy to spend a day relaxing at the Dead Sea. Great rooms and an excellent breakfast. Staff is very willing to help with any doubt you may have. I highly recommend it.
Abraham Hostel JerusalemJerusalem, Israel
Excellent location, good staff, good breakfast. The rooms could have a little bit more space, but they are ok. I would stay there again.
Loui M ApartmentsHaifa, Israel
Very nice staff, very well-equipped apartments. A little bit far from the main touristic sites, but pretty easy to get to them from the hostel. I definitely recommend Loui M apartments for anyone heading to Haifa.
Gordon InnTel Aviv, Israel
Excellent location, staff is ok, breakfast is also ok if you like salad in the morning. The bedrooms and restrooms on the ground floor are way better than the ones on the first floor. I think the hostel is a little pricey for the things it offers, but I would stay there again.
Goodnight Lisbon HostelLisbon, Portugal
There are not enough words to describe how well we felt in this hostel. Very beautifully decorated, wonderfully located and the friendliest staff we've found. Honestly, the funniest place we've stayed. Loved it!
The Times Hostel - Camden PlaceDublin, Ireland
We were welcomed with a big smile by Felix at 1 am when we arrived and from that moment on we knew our stay in Times Hostel would be great. And so was it. Very nice and spacious room, very good breakfast and very helpful staff. Once again, a million thanks to Felix.
The Times Hostel - Camden PlaceDublin, Ireland
Guesthouse Casa PombalCoimbra, Portugal

Old EvoraEvora, Portugal
The best hostel I've stayed, the best host I've found in all my journeys around the world. Pedro, we'll never be able to thank you enough for the lovely days we spend in your place. Cheers from Brazil!
AL - Alojamento Local Pension BicuarFaro, Portugal
Our room was cute, and the staff very friendly. The terrace on the top floor is a plus. I'd definitely stay there again!
Gold CoastLagos, Portugal
The location is great, the staff is perfect, the only problem was that our private room was next to the terrace where 99% of the guests got together before the night out. In other words, it was very noisy. But we could survive, and the history classes we had with Artur were priceless.
Wombats City Hostel Vienna - The LoungeVienna, Austria
Just perfect!
Zeppelin HostelLjubljana, Slovenia
Hostel City Center SarajevoSarajevo, Bosnia And Herzegovina
The apartment we stayed in was very nice and quiet, the staff in the hostel very helpful and funny (special thanks to Asim) and a good breakfast. The only complaint is the bed we slept in the last night in the twin bed room in the hostel. That was hell! But, if you can survive that, I highly recommend this place. :o)
Hostel Magdalena-LenaMostar, Bosnia And Herzegovina
With a girl like Lena running the hostel there is no other word to describe the place than perfect!
Anna GuesthouseDubrovnik, Croatia
Very nice quiet place, not far from the public transportation that can take you anywhere you want easily and fast. Stjepo (or something like that,hehehe)is nuts, but one the nicest guys we met along the way.:o) And he even drove us to the bus station the day we left Dubrovnik. Priceless!
Hobo Bear HostelZagreb, Croatia
Excellent hostel with the best apartaments we have stayed in and the nicest staff of all the places we have visited. Good job guys! :o)

I googled burning smell dead dryer and read that most often the problem was either due to a clogged lint vent. After checking the power source and the lint vent with no results, was suggested that the thermal fuse needed to be replaced. When replacing the fuse, it is also recommended to replace the thermostat, both come in the high limit kit. After receiving my kit and googling dryer schematics I was able to figure out how to replace the fuse and high limit thermostat. When I first tested it I could still smell a little burning, but it dissipated and works well yet again! I had to replace the drum belt last year, and both times I've done my own repairs it has cost me less than $25 for the parts. Being a female on a budget, I was extremely pleased and proud to have figured out how to do the repairs on my own. I appreciated being able to order the parts as well as the speedy shipping!

The movie, released on April 11, also sends a strong message to the viewers about the importance of voting.

Navarro follows money to Spain
Contract lures guard away from Grizzlies
The Grizzlies have experienced a different kind of La Bomba than they have become accustomed to.
Spanish guard Juan Carlos Navarro's chances of returning for a second season in Memphis were blown to pieces Wednesday afternoon when he decided to re-sign with FC Barcelona.
Navarro, who earned $538,000 with the Grizzlies last season, was swayed by a deal that will pay him between $20million and $24 million over the next four years.
After playing 10 seasons in Spain, Navarro nearly set a record for 3-pointers made by an NBA rookie.
The 27-year-old, 6-3 shooting guard proved to be a capable marksman as well as a capable defender.
The money, however, was too much to pass up. Memphis just wasn't going to match what Navarro stood to make in Europe.
The Grizzlies are still on the hook for a first-round draft pick they traded to the Washington Wizards to acquire the rights to Navarro. The pick is protected through 19 this year.
In 2009, picks 1-16 are protected; in 2010-12, picks 1-14 are protected; in 2013, picks 1-12 are protected. If the Wizards haven't used the pick by then, they will receive cash and a second-round pick.
Navarro was selected by the Wizards in the second round of the 2002 draft but never signed and developed into one of the top players in Europe.
Griz general manager Chris Wallace expressed no remorse about the deal.
"We needed to add outside shooting," Wallace said. "And obviously it was an attempt to solidify things with Pau (Gasol). But we're not going to have a Carmelo Anthony situation from it."
Wallace referred to the Vancouver Grizzlies' deal in which they relinquished the No. 2 overall pick in 2003 (which became Anthony) to satisfy a 1997 deal involving Otis Thorpe.
Notes: The Grizzlies held a draft workout Wednesday with a group the team will consider with the No.28 pick. New Mexico's J.R. Giddens, DePaul's Draelon Burns, Arkansas' Sonny Weems and Louisville's Juan Palacios participated in the 90-minute session. Giddens, a senior guard, was the featured attraction and even sank a half-court shot at the end of the workout. Griz personnel director Tony Barone Sr. usually ends the workouts with a fake promise of a luxury car to a player who buries the long-range shot.
Missing from the workout was Virginia Tech's Deron Washington. Griz brass will visit Chicago on Saturday to watch USC's O.J. Mayo work out for a select group of teams. The Griz also have a tentative workout scheduled June 25 with University of Memphis guard Chris Douglas-Roberts. The draft is June 26.
In another development, the Grizzlies are again hosting their dance team audition finals at Horseshoe Casino-Bluesville in Tunica. The event will feature the 30 finalists for the Grizzlies dance team. Doors open at 6p.m. with the finals at 7. Admission is free and open to the public.

Rated 4.6 out of 5 by 411 reviewers.
Rated 4 out of 5 by Picacho great stay/location we had a wonderful time and the sheraton grand was really well placed for festival venues. great spa. the executive lounge was very convenient but sometimes overcrowded and on a couple occasions understaffed. otherwise, terrific August 20, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by NIMMER Hotel Internet Doesn't work The SPG Hotels in the UK outsource their IT services to Quadriga, and half the time it simply doesn't work. Two of my laptops wouldn't connect to the wireless and the staff was unable to resolve it, nor could Quadriga service in London. Expect to waste hours if you need a reliable internet connection, so it means this is not a good hotel to use for business. Otherwise everything is good. August 20, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by GC56 Tattoo Talk An exciting and surprising vacation with daily reminders of how much your hotel staff were genuinely concerned for our comfort and welfare. Excellent Service! August 17, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Don444 Location and Staff Great location and a very accommodating staff. Only downside is internet service Ridiculous in this day and age to have to pay for internet service more than a half hour every 24 hours. August 14, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Eilean First Class Edinburgh Hotel Ideally situated in the heart of the city this hotel offers its guests everything they could possibly need. The overall "star quality" however is its staff, they are ALL polite proffesional and helpful we could not fault them. Well done to the management team and staff trainers what ever you are doing is working in this hotel August 12, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Charley13 Excellent location, very good staff I am luck to have Mr. Statue and Mr. Dean to help me several things. They are very good what they do. Excellent service from them. August 12, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Dave75 Good Hotel We stayed a week and had a great experience, exceeding our expectations. Highly recommend. Minor items: shower water pressure a bit low. I was disappointed that my SPG status didn't really count for much at this property (no free internet, no club floor...nothing except points I guess). August 7, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 bad experience Room was cold or hot. AC was not working on AUTO. Room was not cleaned until we complained. Bed is too soft. August 6, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by Ctld never again rude people, expensive rooms, not worth it at all. terrible experience. never staying here again. misleading information. August 1, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by JanT Business Trip The check in and bell hops are always polite and helpful. The spa and gym leave much to be desired. This is the only hotel I stay at during business that I do not work out because of the difficulty of using the gym and pool. I find the restuarant and spa staff very aloof and put out if asked for any information. July 30, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by KirstyB I could not have asked for more Right from the first moment I called up to clarify a few points about my trip, the Sheraton Grand Hotel and Spa staff could not be more helpful! Amanda from guest services was wonderful and made my Nannas first trip to Scotland a truly memorable one! From a personalised note upon arrival to a castle view, my nanna said that she had never stayed in a hotel with friendlier staff or as lovely room standards.\ The little things that they did to make our stay special really did make it a wonderful family trip. My nanna felt really special and the whole family want to thank all of the staff at the Sheraton Grand Hotel and Spa for making the trip really memorable! We loved it so much theres a good chance you will be seeing us again soon. From a gorgeous king size bed, to the mood lighting, to the castle view and the spa, the facilities and location made this hotel a great choice for a trip both business and pleasure. Could not recommend this hotel more! July 29, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by gold edinburgh wonderful hotel in a good location. easy to get around the city from here and good restaurants nearby. July 29, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by NEF2014 Awesome Edinburgh Hotel From the moment we walked into the hotel, the service, and atmosphere was wonderful. Great staff and accommodations were just what we were hoping for! Thanks for making our first trip to Edinburgh so wonderful... It really got me in the mood to rent a Full Kilt Outfit and where it out on the town! I even got some compliments on how Scottish I looked.... Eric July 29, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by SyG83 A Great experience Edinburgh is such a great place! I did not think SPG will match the feel of this great city with such a holistic experience. The rooms were wonderful, comfortable, modern and every inch echoed the high standards that we attribute to SPG properties. The staff were very helpful. Only small issue we faced was with the entertainment system which did not work. While the staff on call were very friendly and tried their level best to fix it, they promised to follow-up but did not hear back from them. Again, a small hiccup in the context of the overall experience and I will not read too much into it. Overall, really lovely experience and cannot wait to be back! July 28, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by KingBundy1 High recommend Excellent hotel for comfort and location. July 26, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 Royal Treatment with a great view of the Castle We were exhausted when we arrived in the morning after traveling all night. Everyone at the Sheraton Grand was kind and professional.. Our room was ready at 9:30 am and we so appreciated that. We had the wonderful breakfast buffet every morning and the BEST filet in all of the UK and we traveled everywhere in the two weeks we were there. We are still dreaming of the signature ice cream dessert. Perfect location with a short walk to the Royal Mile. Thank-you for going beyond our expectations. July 14, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Lkl2013 Edinburgh This is a lovely hotel in a great location. A perfect place to stay while exploring Edinburgh! July 8, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by kylesmimi Great location; nice rooms and terrific staff Spent 5 nights here in early June. Requested Your 24 with a 10 am check-in and the room was ready as promised. Immediately acknowledged our Platinum Status. No suite upgrades were available for the full 5 nights, which was nicely explained. Excellent breakfast buffet, although it was a bit of a struggle to get the coffee pot refilled. Great location. Wonderful staff. Only complaint was that the hair dryer was hardwired through the back of the desk drawer.....nearly impossible to use. July 5, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Jane74 Trip with daughter & granddaughter This is a lovely hotel in the center of Edinburgh. The rooms are beautiful and restful. Lunch was very good and dinner was convienent near by. Daughter & granddaughter used the spa facilities and were very please and relaxed after. July 3, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by Racy36 Long Weekend Stay For a Sheraton Cat 5 Hotel I thought that the Hotel was lacking, quite poor public spaces, and very limited in size and scale. There are better hotels in Edinburgh. July 2, 2013

Rated 5 out of 5 by Lisie Lovely Hotel Thank you, thank you to the lovely staff at the Sheraton Edinburgh. We were greeted warmly and issued an upgraded beautiful modern room, even though it was too early to be checking in. The hotel is beautiful with magnificent views of Edinburgh Castle. Our room also overlooked the castle through a large picture window. The room was tastefully decorated with elegant tartan wallpaper and had lovely finishing touches like English tea and shortbread. The lights have settings from "on"to "low"to "mood". We ate breakfast at the hotel and were impressed with the beautiful buffet and full English breakfast June 28, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by bpred47 Wonderful facilities and location. This was our first stay in Edinburgh. We are SPG members so this was the obvious choice and we were not disappointed. The location is superb but is matched by the quality of the facilities and the rooms. June 25, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Basil5502 Fabulous ;-) This hotel never fails to deliver ! We have stayed there a few times now and the staff are so courteous; friendly; occasionally asking if they may help you (but not in an over bearing manner or frequency) and with a request - nothing is a challenge. The accommodation from the minute you walk in the door is fresh, vibrant and luxurious and very very comfortable. A great hotel in every aspect ! June 23, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Satellite67 Fantastic club room This was our second stay in the hotel and our overall experience was extremely satisfying again. The castle view rooms are lovely, clean and fully functional. Staff make you feel welcome and relaxed, particularly Shiva in the club lounge who was exceptional, always smiling, friendly and helpful....the perfect host. We will be back again soon we hope. June 23, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Londongirl1988 Two nights stay on business trip Room was stunning, one of the best I've stayed in. Clean, functional, extremely comfortable and beautifully set out and decorated. Service in the bar and at the front desk is excellent but lacking in the restaurant. It's perfectly fine at breakfast but both times at dinner I had to wait for 5 minutes before being seated (no queue). Food at breakfast is faultless - excellent choice and quality. Food at dinner was generally very good but not perfect - ordered a medium steak and it came well done, just not something you'd expect from a 5 star hotel. Bar has a fantastic choice of spirits and wines and excellent bar staff - Mert couldn't do enough to make the experience perfect. June 21, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Botswanna Cutting Edge in the shadow of the Edinburgh Castle wow, who would have guessed this hotel--with every new feature, gadget and control, was great fun. But the bed makes it and it was great--comfortable, luxurious and difficult to get up and leave! June 20, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by highpockets1 Second time around Second time to stay at this great hotel and both times everything exceeded our expectations. Looking forward to staying with you again in the future. Would highly recommend this hotel. June 20, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Eli23 Holy crap is this a nice hotel! Exceeded my expectations. Nicest Starwood property I have stayed in, and I've stayed in about 10 in the U.S. Apparently, it's undergone a renovation and it shows! I loved the oversize tub, the ability to choose the bathroom uplight color, seeing my name scroll on the TV, and the ability to change the lighting mood from the bedside as well as from the door. Oh, and the two entrances to the bathroom - nice! Only problems were waiting at the front desk with no staff in sight. But when the employee got there, he was very nice. I would stay here again in a heartbeat. Note that this is a bit of a walk to Old Town (if that's where you're going) but not too bad. There are certainty other hotels closer, but probably not as nice. June 12, 2013

Do you see this game succeeding? Honest opinion and no trolling please. *poll*
General Discussion « Star Wars: The Old Republic
I voted yes because It being star wars and a mmorpg. That alone is going to bring many players. Im also sure that it will hold up for awhile because of all the classes have diffrent story lines to follow. So if you cap out one class and your finally bored of endgame content. You can reroll a new toon and not be burned out with the same olld quest line. Thats just brilliant. Sure as your leveling it will be mostly solo play , but people solo play till endgame most of the time anyway.
The game sounds amazing to me and i cant wait to play it.

This is why MMO's are always doomed to fail..Haters always wanting to hate. All i ever see on every post on this site. Is a bunch of whiney hating little girls. How about crawling back under your bridge , and let the people who enjoy there game read about it. Without you throwing your 2 cents worth of troll juice in. Every discussion has to turn into a a rape scene!
Just because you guys are stuck in some gaming black hole. Where nothing satisfies you, and cant replace the feeling you had with your main mmo. Doesnt mean newer games suck. It just means your old and busted and need to get out the mmo game.
PS. gratz Rift.. ill cya non hating Rift players in game.
Free Trial - first (and last) impressions
General Discussion « Rift
Sure Rift feels like a copy and paste of previous mmorpg titles i agree with that. Even if you wanted to call it a WoW clone i can see that. Thing is just about every mmorpg that comes out pretty much all follow the same formula. The reason being is the formula works and has proven to be successful time and time again.
Out of the 200 mmorpg's out there floating around Rift is the only good WoW clone. I find the game to be actually pretty fun.
Although at lower levels i didnt feel that way .. it wasnt till around 25 i actually started to enjoy it.
If your looking for somthing revolutionary in gameplay jump ship now , because it just aint gonna happen and be a success.
Many games tried this..to be different..to think outside of the clone box..Look where they ended up..all closed down or now on a f2p model.
The choices are pretty much (1. A broken attempt at a sandbox style mmorpg which the masses wouldnt enjoy , because most people dont have the time or patience for something of the sort. (2. A rehashed theme park style mmorpg which has proven to be successful if done right. (3. A totaly new style mmorpg with new mechanics , but same old kill XX many amount of whatever , just with unfamilier button sequences which either end up being repetitive or buggy.
So ya Trion played it safe with there first mmo and went the theme park direction. Cant say that i blame them for that. The game is good not GREAT but good. And defenetly better than any other p2p game thats out right now other than WoW. I even like it better than Aion which was my second most played mmorpg.
Tabula Rasa - Closed
The Chronicles of Spellborn - Closed
2 games that thought out of the clone box which i feel deserved a better fighting chance in this cutthroat genre.

Rift 1 million users and second largest MMO in the West
General Discussion « Rift
Idk if Rift is the second largest mmorpg in the west , but it could possibly be atm. All i know is that i picked one server out of the
bunch..didnt study on which server was the most popular at all , and the server has a very healthy playerbase and in prime hours of the day sometimes i have 30 mins que times. Even at 4am there is still people running around. 4am warfronts are still popping within 5 mins. The games is in good shape..i personally havent ran in to alot of bugs but doesnt mean there not there.
1 million paid customers is not that far fetched.. i actually play the game and see the healthy playerbase with my own eyes!
So if you wanna argue about wether or not its a lie or some marketing ploy?..feel free..have at it. Truth is no one really knows for sure except Trion , and on that note who really cares.
Rift pulled off a successfull launch..plus maintained there stamina for the past 6 months..yes some lost inetrest that goes for all games. Lots of people bought it at launch some people left , lots of people stayed. So ya there was a decrease of players for a min, as all the mmorpg hoppers hopped on than hopped off. But now the game is showing a steady increase of players instead of a decline.
Just because you dont like the game doesnt mean thats its not a success. You dont like it so it has to be fail right?..ppssh get over it.
Give your opinion on the shut down
SWG Veteran Refuge « Star Wars Galaxies
SWG is just old and busted..time to pull the plug on the old fart if you ask me !
Even F2p would do no good..lets be honest here with SWTOR around the corner, and Sony being the greedy batards they are.
The F2p model would be outrageous for 2 reasons..1) they would suck all the money they can till swtor release so overpriced CS would be in under statement...2) Only the die hard fans of SWG would probably play it..no offense but there is just better F2p games.
So let it die if you ask me..along with every other Sony Online game. Only decent mmo they had was EQ , and thet ruined that.

Will SWTOR & GW2 kill RIFT?
General Discussion « Rift
At first glance Rift Felt like a rehash of other games..I did not really care for it , but as i stuck with it the game i have to admit is really fun to play.
I do plan on buying SWTOR , but i can say will defenetly not play WOW ever again. Rift is my new mmorpg home.
On a personal i dont feel SWTOR or GW2 will effect Rift as much it will effect WoW. Rift will be fine..
WoW or Rift?
LFGame « General Discussion
WoW may have started to go downhill , but its still a fun game. I can actually play WoW for a couple of hours and have fun doing it. People that claim that Wow sucks now are probably just burned out. Ive played WoW since 06 , and at times i get burned out and dont play it for months. I always come back though.
Rift has nice graphics , runs smooth , etc..etc.. but the game feels so generic. I fell asleep plenty of times at the keyboard playing Rift. Somthing i have never done in WoW. Dont get me wrong Trion did a fine job , and will defennitly give there next mmorpg a go. Its just rift just didnt cut it for me on the fun factor.
I hate to say it but if you want some good open world pvp..Id go with WAR over these 2 any day . Also join the Gorefang server
the action has really picked up on that server.
If it these 2 or nothing i would choose WoW..Trust me WoW does it better ..plus a heela of alot more content.
GW2 or SWTOR which one will you definitely BUY?
The Pub at MMORPG.COM « General Discussion
Both without a doubt..im sure the timeline which both games are released is far enough apart. So purchasing both will not be a problem. As of which one am I more Intrested in? SWTOR without a doubt ! You can say what you want but SWTOR will in the long run have more to offer than GW2. Plus fantasy mmorpg's are so over played. We need a good Scifi game!
Dont get me wrong..im not hating on GW2..like i said im going to buy it also, and im sure ill get my moneys worth as its B2p.
Of coarse i pretty much buy every new mmorpg cause i live in a small town with nothing to do. You cant even buy alcohol where i live. It took everything i had in me to avoid buying Rift. Boy am i glad i dodge the bullet on that polished turd.
Game will "Flop" harder than RIFT did...
General Discussion « Star Wars: The Old Republic
I just love how if a game isnt near as succesfull as World Of Warcraft its considered a flop , or in other words a fail.
Just because Rift did not hit sales as big as WoW does doesnt mean that its a fail. It took bizzard years to accumulate there sub. base. Rift had a very nice launch and the game is good enough to keep a healthy sub base. Although not quite the WoW killer it was suppose to be. It is in no way a fail game!
SWTOR is the only mmorpg coming out this year i have been looking forward to. It will be very succesfull , and Bioware put alot of time and money into this game. Much more so than Trion did with Rift. Just because SWTOR didnt break the mold in ground breaking mechanics doesnt mean its a WoW copy (clone). The thing is other games tried this .. Tried to bring a fresh new UI , and mechanics. Those games failed just as bad as any other game. In other words the common mechanic used in WoW and many other games is used for a reason. That reason being its just what works for the genre , and works well.
For example FPS games are all pretty much the same in gameplay. With some new little ideas thrown in to make it seem different even though its the same. You mind as well call every FPS game a Golden Eye clone. Not saying Golden Eye was the orginal FPS but it was the game that made FPS a success. Why do game companies that make FPS all use the same type of game mechanic? It just works for the FPS genre and works well. Can you see where im going with this?
SWTOR will be a great game with tons of reasons to keep playing for a long time , and i cant wait !

India on Monday decided to purchase 10 C-17 Globemaster III heavy-lift transport aircraft from the United States of American for the Indian Air Force. The deal under the Foreign Military Sales (Government-to-Government) is estimated to cost Rs. 18,000 crore (approximately $4.1 billion).
The decision was taken at a meeting of the Cabinet Committee on Security under the chairmanship of Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, Defence Ministry officials said.
The contract, when signed would become the highest single value military contract that New Delhi would enter into with the United States and includes an offset obligation of around Rs. 4,500 crore ($ 1 billion). Under the clause, the U.S. company would have to source 30 per cent value of the order from India.
Work on the deal began last April during U.S. President Barack Obama's visit to India when it was announced that New Delhi had agreed to buy these aircraft from U.S.
In April 2010, the U.S. Defence Security Cooperation Agency informed the U.S. Congress on the possible sale at an estimated cost of $ 5.8 billion. The inventory included 45 engines (40 installed and 5 spare engines), missile warning systems, spares and repair parts, repair and return, flares, other explosives, aircraft ferry and refuelling support, crew armour, mission planning system software, training and training equipment, publications and technical data. The offer from Boeing was for the latest Block 18 aircraft.
The IAF plans to base these heavy lift aircraft at Agra. These can carry 73,616 kilogramme of payload and can be operated by a crew of three-two in the cockpit and one loadmaster.
Delivery of the planes would begin 24 months after signing of the contract. The company produces one plane every three and a half or 15 in a year. Boeing officials had told The Hindu that should India order these planes the schedules with existing customers would be negotiated to accommodate it.
The plane can carry 188 passengers, has reverse thrust engines for short turn around and equipped with missile warning system with flares to disengage the incoming attack.
The IAF conducted trials last year including one in Himachal Pradesh to check it efficacy for short take off and landing with requisite cargo load. At present the Russian IL-76 "Gajraj" and AN-32 are the IAF workhorses for transporting men and material.
Earlier this year, the IAF inducted tactical lift C130J Super Hercules aircraft from the Lockheed Martin stable.
