This property is just as advertised! It is off the beaten path and in a very beautiful area. We brought our own Christmas decorations and celebrated with our family! It was just perfect for our family of 15 and 2 dogs. We loved that the kitchen was fully stocked with all the cooking utensils that a person would need. There were plenty of extra sheets and blankets. The water pressure was great considering we had such a large group. We couldn't ask for anything better! Thank You for sharing your home with us over the Christmas Holiday!
Off the beaten path but close enough to all the major attractions in the Black Hills. Plenty of room for our party of eleven inside and there was ample space outdoors for the five children to play. The unit was clean and ready for us when we arrived. Ample supply of towels and linens as well. The views are also worth mentioning. Very scenic from all angles and wildlife, mostly deer, were abundant. Two were even spotted seventy-five feet from the front door. Would stay in this property again. Also worth noting is our deposit was returned within five days!
The house is roomy, the rooms are homey. I found it to be clean, well appointed, quiet, relaxing and well situated to look around the area. Great stay and we will be returning at some point.
Highly recommended if you are visiting the black hills / sturgis area.
The house is clean, well stocked, and charming! Our party of 5 (3 adults, 2 kids) had a great time here--the boys loved the game room downstairs and climbing the hills out back, then there was the satellite TV for entertainment after they'd run themselves ragged. We adults enjoyed the decor, the bedrooms, stocked kitchen, and wildlife (mostly turkey, but an occasional deer).
The location was perfect as we were close to my mother in Sturgis and family in Summerset and Rapid City, and we had plenty of room to have them all over for dinner. There was plenty of room for my sister and her husband to join us as well for several nights.
It was wonderful to spend the day hitting the tourist sites and running around the Hills only to come back to this comfortable and homey retreat at the end of a long day, where we could prepare a good meal, have room to spread out and relax, and sleep in the next day. Sure beat being stuck in a couple of hotel rooms!
My only complaints are minor--the gas grill is on its last legs and needs to be replaced, and the lawn needed to be mowed. However we enjoyed everything else about this place so much we'd love to be back next year and in the years to come!
With eight children in tow, it is difficult to find a lot of welcoming places that offer good accommodations for our family, let alone ample sleeping areas. That alone made Elk Creek Lodge worthy of 5 stars! What a wonderful set-up for the family! There was plenty of room and plenty of beds, and it very quickly felt like home to us.
In a beautiful setting within the Black Hills, and an almost certainty of seeing deer, turkey, and other wildlife every morning, our stay was a joy. We were within an hour of most of the sights and activities one goes to SD to see, and everything else was within the next half hour. It was so wonderful to spend the day doing our outings, knowing that we had a nice and comfortable place to return to. A welcoming selection of books, games, and DVDs greeted us for end-of-the-day family time.
Our six boys (and even the girls and dad!) loved exploring the hillsides, though it made us realize we need to work out more...
Finally, return of our security deposit was very prompt - a welcome change from experiences we've had elsewhere.
After a frustrating day of flight delays and cancellations, we finally made it to Elk Creek Lodge about 1 am. Chris had the keys ready for us and the lights were on. We were able to go right in and right to bed. Elk Creek was everything we imagined and more. Very secluded, quiet, abundance of wildlife and close to all of our destinations. We were very impressed and would definitely stay at Elk Creek again. Thank you Chris and Ce for all of your help during our vacation preparations. We had a great time in South Dakota thanks to you and the Elk Creed Lodge.
Conveniently located just off of I-90 between Rapid City and Sturgis, South Dakota. Easy access to all the tourist sites in the Black Hills and Badlands. The 11 acre property is very secluded and surrounded by the beautiful Black Hills National Forest. Opportunities to view the abundant wildlife from your deck.

Tom Humphrey: On House-Senate role reversal in the new normal
One curiosity in the new normal of Republican rule in the General Assembly seems to be a role reversal of the House and Senate in institutional attitude.
In the old normal, senators would harrumph at length on a bipartisan basis about being members of a "deliberative body" of ladies and gentlemen while viewing the House with some disdain as a bunch of chest-thumping, lock-stepping good ole boys and girls.
Representatives, in turn, regarded senators disdainfully as something of an elitist debating society, foolishly dithering away hours and days in arcane arguments over the minutia of mundane matters.
In the new normal, the House has become the deliberative body while the Senate is home of the Republican lockstep railroad.
Perhaps the best example is the handling of Gov. Bill Haslam's bill to abolish the current civil service system and replace it with a new, merit-based plan for state employees. As for long-term impact on the operation of state government, it is probably the most significant and complex piece of legislation considered this year.
In the House, Haslam had Rep. Bill Dunn, regarded generally as a right-wing radical in the old normal and as a Republican moderate in the new normal, handle the bill. He struck a gentlemanly, open-to-deliberation posture.
The House committee hearings were marathon affairs, with hours of tedious debate, piles of amendments considered and, ultimately, a fairly bipartisan compromise reached last week. The Senate committee hearings were, in contrast, pretty much slam-bam-ram-it-through and onto the floor.
On the floors of the two bodies, the contrast between time-consuming debate in the House and efficient railroad operation in the Senate is also notable. But there are some quirks there insofar as comparing things to the old normal days of Democratic rule.
The new normal in the House calls for devoting time for acting as a "deliberative body" — or debating society, if you will — on issues of national political import that the state Legislature has no control over whatsoever. These debating resolutions may be seen as meaningless posturing. At least many Democrats so see them.
But then, they readily join in the debating society as lawmakers collectively spend hours in impassioned discourse on things irrelevant to the function of a state legislature — unless you consider bad-mouthing (or defending) various doings in Washington a primary cause of legislative existence.
And, in the new normal, that is apparently regarded as a major function by the House Republican majority. Last week's example was a 35-minute floor debate on the merits of a U.S. Department of Health rule requiring medical insurance policies to cover contraception.
Over in the Senate, these resolutions are more or less summarily approved without any wasting of time on debate. The attitude, more or less, seems to be, "OK, it's got a Republican sponsor. Fine, pass it and be done with it." In part, this is because Senate Democrats seem to feel such things are not worth arguing about.
In the old normal, there were no such debates on the House floor. In the Senate, there were — though mostly mind-numbing, eye-glazing, back-and-forth discourse on hypothetical situations in state law or policy matters, not national issues.
In the old normal, the late John "the Senate is the Senate" Wilder, a nominal Democrat, presided over the bipartisan debating society in the Senate while Jimmy Naifeh, a dedicated Democrat, presided over the lockstep House. In the new normal, we have Senate Speaker Ron Ramsey and House Speaker Beth Harwell.
The other day, after Naifeh announced he was retiring from Legislatorland, Ramsey told reporters that he had come to admire the style of leadership shown by the House speaker emeritus back in the old days. In other words, Ramsey is the Naifeh of the new normal — hard-nosed, partisan and ready to move things along.
Now, Harwell cannot as reasonably be likened to Wilder in many ways. But the Wilderbeast was very bipartisan and Harwell, though more than a nominal Republican, is at least tolerant, even respectful, of Democrats. So, in that limited sense, perhaps she is the Wilder of the new normal.
So things are different, but still the same? Or, as Wilder might have said, the House is the Senate.

text: Clay Local School has announced its plans to advertise for bids to prepare the site of a new K-12 facility, for which the districts expects to break ground in June.According to Clay Superintendent Anthony Mantell, the school will advertise for bids at the end of March, followed by a pre-bid meeting in early April.That's a meeting where the contractors, after they've seen the advertisements, they can come in and ask any questions before they submit their final bids. The bids have to be submitted and bid opening will be April 20, Mantell said.Because the new school will be built on the land directly in front of the existing Clay High School, Mantell said the district would not start moving dirt until the end of the current school year.It will be either late May, or very early June, that we actually will start breaking ground. We'll have a groundbreaking ceremony prior to that, Mantell said.Voters in Clay Township approved a tax levy in March 2008 to build the new $23 million, 107,000 square foot K-12 school. The building will be two-stories high, and include a new gymnasium, media center and 4,000 square foot cafetorium. The elementary classrooms will be on the first floor, and junior high and high school classes upstairs. The building will average two classrooms for each grade level, as well additional classrooms for specialized classes such as art, music, computers, and science labs.If everything goes according to schedule, the building should be complete and in our possession by June 2011, Mantell said.Ongoing progress regarding the new school's construction can be followed on Clay's Web site (http://clay.k12.oh.us) and the New School's Blog (http://newclayschools.edublogs.org).RYAN SCOTT OTTNEY can be reached at (740) 353-3101, ext. 235.

One thing I do differently is that I exclude players that I do not intend to draft. I've found in the past that if I rank them it tempts me to draft them. I exclude players that have injury risks, players that are not dependable and players.

Critical Review by Barbara Kingsolver
SOURCE: "Fish Fall from the Sky for a Reason," in The New York Times Book Review, January 20, 1991, p. 13.
Kingsolver is an American novelist, short story writer, nonfiction writer, and poet. In the review below, she discusses the plots of various stories in The Stories of Eva Luna, calling them "miracles of construction."
In years past, I've received and given out this common advice for writers: Let your novel's important characters dictate their life stories to you, beginning with childhood; write it all down; then throw it away and start the novel. The Chilean novelist Isabel Allende has now gone one better by having one of her characters write a book. Fortunately for her readers, she didn't throw it away but sent it off to her publisher.
The Stories of Eva Luna are ostensibly tales told by the eponymous heroine of Ms. Allende's third novel to her lover, Rolf Carlé. The 23 very short stories unfold in the same confident, chaotic style as the novels that have endeared Ms. Allende to a world of readers. But The Stories of Eva Luna have only the faintest superstructure connecting them and so must stand up to more scrutiny: in a novel, the author needs to hook us only once; in a collection, each story must win us over anew, which is more work for everyone. There's a reason why story collections are rare visitors to the best-seller lists.
Eva Luna's stories are delicate, their images akin to poetry: the Pope in his glass-enclosed car, for example, is "a white porpoise in an aquarium"; Tierra del Fuego tapers off into "a rosary of islands." And, like poetry, this prose requires careful attention. Early on, the book seemed to me like a plate of hors d'oeuvres, each one tempting, some as exquisite as caviar, but not really adding up to a meal. I tried, however, to defer judgment until I'd finished everything on the tray. And once I'd adjusted to the pace and small scale, it became clear that many of the stories were perfectly crafted and thematically rich, whole meals by themselves.
The settings sample Latin America from the humid Caribbean to the Antarctic tip of Argentina. And the themes range even farther, from the extinction of Amazon tribes to a modern theory that love conquers cancer. One story even addresses a decades-old rumor, coming out of Guatemala that Indian children taken from destitute parents have been murdered so their bodies can be sold in the United States, piece by piece, as organ donations. Ms. Allende frames these improbable yet entirely possible scenarios with magical imagery and tells them in a detached, mythic voice.
What the stories have in common is the fact that they are driven by plot. Rarely does the author cede more than a sentence or two to developing her characters, who tend to be fascinating archetypes. Her plots, though, are miracles of construction, all the more impressive for their brevity. Destiny—and its executrix, love—nearly always form the subtext. The very first sentence in "The Judge's Wife" tells us that the story's hero, Nicolás Vidal, "had always known that a woman would cost him his life." The second sentence tells who that woman will be. But the tale remains suspenseful through every turn, leading finally to the understanding that Vidal's lifelong avoidance of women, in hopes of saving himself, has led him precisely to his demise.
Many other stories are similarly constructed—their endings are built into an opening line or a title, but they still hold their surprises in a stunning last sentence. "Phantom Palace," which recalls the simple, ubiquitous ghost stories of childhood, also captures in the sinews of its plot a commentary on the healing power of nature and the transience of seemingly permanent evils, including bad marriages and dictators-for-life.
In the moving final tale, "And of Clay Are We Created," a little girl trapped up to her neck in a mud pit becomes the focal point for journalists covering a disastrous avalanche. They bring in every conceivable kind of camera and communications gear so that her brave, pathetic image can be beamed to the nation's living rooms—but somehow no one can find a pump to free her. The sole reporter who must look at her directly, rather than through a lens, is changed forever.
These stories, lyrically translated by Margaret Sayers Peden, remain fundamentally foreign, and thus of enormous value to North American readers. The film critic Robert Cauthorn has said that plot is becoming extinct in our culture. Action movies, anything by David Lynch and even, increasingly, our literature, tend to present an escalation of disconnected scenes in lieu of an actual plot in which one scene is logically linked to the next. All this suggests a view of the world that is random: life happens to us and we have no control over it, therefore no responsibility.
Latin American magical realists like Isabel Allende never let us forget that events are caused by other events; in their stories fish may fall from the sky, but they fall for a reason. This outlook is profoundly political, since it incorporates at least the possibility of justice. Something got us into this mess, it says, if only destiny, and something will get us out, if only our own obstinate will.

SABIC official: No injuries from phosgene leak at Mount Vernon plant
MOUNT VERNON, Ind. - A leak of phosgene, an industrial chemical used in the production of plastics, occurred Monday at SABIC Innovative Plastics in Mount Vernon, Ind.
Shelia Naab, spokeswoman for the facility, said the phosgene leak was under control Tuesday and no one was injured by the gas, which was used as a chemical weapon during World War I.
Exposure to phosgene can cause blurred vision and difficulty breathing.
"All employees in the area were checked by medical personnel (Monday) and are fine," Naab said.
"We took extra precautionary measures to ensure the safety of our employees and the community."
The amount that leaked at SABIC was small, Naab said, one-fifth of the level required to be reported to the Environmental Protection Agency for monitoring.
On Monday, the Mount Vernon SABIC site began routine turnaround; numerous inspections were conducted and upgrades made to equipment. Naab said part of this process includes a number of plans and procedures designed to prevent potential issues; and, if necessary, to promptly address those issues to ensure the safety of employees and the surrounding community.
"Highly sensitive badges worn by employees as a safety precaution identified an extremely small amount of chemical in one area of our chemical operations," Naab said. "Our emergency response team acted quickly, and these employees were examined by our on-site medical personnel. No one is showing any effects from the chemical."
The pipe where the leak occurred has been taken out of service, Naab said, and no longer will be used in production.

Intensifying the probe in the alleged assault and custodial death case of Agnello Valdaris, a CBI team from Delhi headed by Neena Singh, joint director of the special task force, conducted a detailed inspection of the scene of the alleged incident at Wadala station on Wednesday afternoon.
Despite heavy rains, Singh spent more than an hour on the spot, accompanied by senior Delhi and Mumbai officers. The team inspected the tracks and the detention room where the Valdaris was allegedly detained, assaulted and tortured for three days. The team also questioned railway police officers now stationed at the Wadala station and railway rapid force personnel.
"It is a crucial case and the spot plays a critical role in investigation. Therefore perhaps the JD herself decided to visit it," said a CBI official who did not wish to be named.
However, even a week after the registration of the FIR against ten police officers and the entire Wadala police station, the CBI has not made any arrest in the case. All the accused personnel, however, have been shunted out of the Wadala railway police station.

ATLANTA, May 9, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Alimera Sciences, Inc. (NASDAQ: ALIM) (Alimera), a biopharmaceutical company that specializes in the research, development and commercialization of prescription ophthalmic pharmaceuticals, today announced financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2013.
"During the first quarter of 2013 we significantly expanded our marketing efforts and sales reach with physicians to prepare for the European market launch of ILUVIEN. We recently announced the launch of ILUVIEN in both the United Kingdom and in Germany and are confident in our ability to address the expected demand for our product. On May 7, 2013, Albert J. Augustin, M.D., professor and chairman of the Department of Ophthalmology, Klinikum Karlsruhe, Karlsruhe, Germany, treated the world's first patient with the implant injection since the product became commercially available," said Dan Myers, Alimera's president and chief executive officer. "This is a significant milestone for not only our Company but also for the patients suffering from the debilitating effects of chronic diabetic macular edema in these regions and their physicians."
Market Access Update On April 29, 2013, Alimera announced that ILUVIEN had become commercially available in the United Kingdom. In addition, Alimera recently submitted a simple Patient Access Scheme (PAS), which has been agreed to by the United Kingdom's Department of Health, to the United Kingdom's National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) for consideration under its rapid review facility. The NICE Appraisal Committee will assess the likely impact of the ILUVIEN PAS and determine whether an update to NICE's previously issued final guidance is warranted. If the PAS is accepted by NICE, it is anticipated that ILUVIEN would be funded for chronic diabetic macular edema (DME) patients in England and Wales thr

I can't match anything thing in this thread. At least not physical pain.
The worst pain I've been through is emotional; I'd go into detail, but it's probably laughable to you guys.
I can't match anything thing in this thread. At least not physical pain.
The worst pain I've been through is emotional; I'd go into detail, but it's probably laughable to you guys.
I hope it's never sunny in Philly again.
Man, I can't beat most of you guys...
But the worst I've had I would probably have to say was a torn lumbar muscle. It takes the cake simply because of how long the pain lasted. I was in a soccer game and I went to slidetackle a guy and legs got tangled, I made a weird twist and didn't really feel anything. Went to get up and... I couldnt! It felt so bad I just had to lie there. I didn't get it checked out until the next day when I also couldn't get out of bed.
After that, it would be the time I slipped in the shower and put a small tear in my MCL and chipped small parts of my knee cap. I could actually see the little bone chips "floating" around in the swollen knee. Ended my highschool sports career with that one
The fainting is scary. I lived with a girl for a couple of years that had the same problem. A couple of times a year she would faint. Real out of the blue. No real rhyme or reason to it. Very scary and very frustrating. She couldn't get a doctor to give her a real solid answer as to why it was happening.
They would just tell her to be careful. As I'm sure VP can confirm, it's tough to be careful when it only happens a couple times a year. Makes driving scary.
I have two shoulders that constantly dislocate/separate. First time it happened I was playing home run derby in my buddy's back yard, tried swinging left handed (normally a righty) and my shoulder popped out of socket and stayed out. It was ridiculously painful (I don't handle pain well at all).
We'll win it all next year...
Suffice it to say, nothing like getting stabbed in the back. Not even close.
There is no such thing as a pitching prospect.
This doesn't compare either, to some of the above. When I was 15, I caught an elbow playing basketball in PE and got 2 teth knocked out. They weren't broken, and the dentist pushed them both in at the same time. It made a loud pop (he said it was the air being forced out of the socket around the tooth), and he was pushing so hard veins were bulging on his forearms. When they popped in it hurt so bad, in a hot kind of way, bt for only a moment. It was so intense. Then, I had to get root canals. He said since they were now "dead" he didn't need to apply anesthesia. Well, they ween't dead yet. He drilled into a still living tooth and I came up ouy of the chair. Pain was beyond description.
I've been to dinner at Jimmy Buffet's house, and I've eaten it at a homeless shelter. And there's great joy and harrowing terror to be found in both places.
-Todd Snider
Gainseville!! A true American Hero. Did you have time to think about it or was it all reaction?? I am a coward at heart, but I like to think that if I didn't have TOO much time to think about it I would do the right thing.
I've sprained my ankle a few times, broken a few bones, and stubbed many a toe on a table/ottoman. Sprained ankle wins by far. First is hurts, then it burns a bit, then it just hurts real bad for a few hours. I don't have a high pain tolerance, so it's probably a good thing that I've been serious injury free in my life (knock on wood).

Those Jackass puds have nothing on RedsZone.
Toothaches and earaches don't sound like much, but those who have had them know the agony.
VP brought up child birth. This is the one subject I don't care to hear about. It totally chills me and "creeps" me out for some reason. I've killed/gutted several hundred animals and am assisting in dissecting an actual human being but that subject gives me the heebie-jeebies for some reason.
Guess I won't be around for my first born's arrival, eh?

Worst pain I ever felt was when my first wife told me she didn't love me any more.
The current Mrs. Tucker gave birth to all 3 of our children without any kind of pain-killers. She doesn't like needles or drugs. After the first one was born, I said "look, I've seen what its like, it's really OK if you take something for the pain". She said "nope". She said its really not that bad.
Teach tolerance.
Worst physical pain: 3 broken ribs during an intramural football game in college. But that's not the bad part. Went to the hospital and got taped up. Got back to the apartment and about an hour later, sneezed hard and blew them back out again. That sucked.
When all is said and done more is said than done.
You've seen the size of your babies, and you've seen the size of what they come out of. They don't really line up so well.
My understanding of a lot (not all) women's labor is that the only thing that makes it bearable, and in retrospect not the worst thing ever, is that you get a baby at the end.

Worst metaphysical pain, end of first love.
Worst physical pain - Broke my ankle and didn't get it set for 3 days, on day three smacked it on the base of the toilet and well.....
Also root canal nerve was touched... short and nasty, an awesome electrical shock surged through my body.
My wife said that the great thing about childbirth is that, although the pain is absolutely excruciating, it's like you completely forget about it the moment it's over. She credits this rather cruel amnesia as the reason that any woman has ever chosen to give birth to more than one child.

I think the worst pain I ever experienced was the morning after shoulder surgery. I remember thinking that this must be what it feels like to get shot with a 12 gauge.

Thank you for a great time with my family while at Fern Mountain. The house is great, more than we could imagine.
We do have a request... While we were there we all had a great night sleep on the king beds and the bunk beds and we were wanting to know what style and brand these are because they were so comfortable. This would help a great deal as both my wife and I woke up with no pain (getting older). I e-mailed Rustic Furniture but they don't sell mattress's. I forgot to look while I was there. If you have that information could you please let me know.
Again thank you for a great setting and place to share with my family.

Great place for a weekend
Girls Weekend
While we woke up to snow one morning, the roaring fire inside kept us all delightfully warm. The ample supply of stacked firewood provided was a bonus.
Working with Wes and Bill was a delight. They never tired of answering my questions prior to our arrival, and if they did, they didn't let it be known. Matt received us and was more than knowledgeable about the house and all it had to offer as he showed us around.

Nintendo 3DS
Is anyone else like me and never really beat games? I get bored...
I beat most games I buy and start playing, although I don't necessarily 100% everything. There are occasional exceptions, though.
(\/)agic (\/)ush |-|yren
No not the real way you are thinking. I've gotten distracted, and some types are more prone to not finish. There are the dread old NES curse where I never beat the the game because.... you try beating Ghost & Goblins. I'm not going to say which games I've not beaten.
Oh Kei fine there was that last boss on Ys4 Mask of the Sun, but I assure you I beat Brandish. Well not it's sequel because, what the hell were you supposed to do to make the Armor, Shield and Sword Bosses not be invincible. I only figured out one of them, damn I bet if my Japanese was better it wouldn't even be a question.
Oh right, ah haha Maybe I should take the time to kick the final bosses ass in Final Fantasy 3 DS, I had the level from all that class grinding. Oh and the stupid Master Quest distracting me from the final boss in Skies of Arcadia, then that one rotten discovery near the arctic. I should stop doing that, my play-through of Castlevania:AoS, last year, was ruined at the end by trying to get 9 of every soul before the true ending(and unlike DoS it does nothing).

pomebear posted...Eh. I do it too, but I eventually get back to the games.
This, and then I tend to restart. Depending on length of game it can take me many restarts to finally beat it. ff vii I'm at 6 tries and just beat first disk.
My sister always gets to the part right before the final battle and then just never plays the game again. Like, how do you get that close to the end and just stop? I always finish games, although I juggle and end up playing like 6 different games at once so it takes me a while to finish them.
OBJECTION! This Topic Clearly Sucks!

My backlog has been getting pretty big lately. Mainly because I have been getting a bunch of games and am having less and less time to play them.
Maybe you need to move up from kiddie games and do something with a real story line and something that is designed by a decent company. Any of these new games are total garbage that are 90% wash-rinse-repeat style game play. (Ie. COD, HALO, Every Mario Game, StreetFighter, Final Fantasy, ect.)
Try older games, they generally have a bit more depth that will keep you engaged. They actually CAN'T rely on their graphics to carry their game (Like all modern games), old games actually have to have good gameplay to be considered good.
Or instead of playing the games, try being a map maker or a mod developer or something! If you love games but can't see to stay interested in them... then make one you'd want to stay interested in!

My sis was that way with the original KH. She beat Hollow Bastion and thought she had to kill the secret bosses to progress.
My sisters are ALWAYS like that with games. They never get the ending.
Can I put my Onix in your Cloyster? Yes: 3 No: 2 Maybe: 2

MetalLoki posted...You should most likely stop playing games then.
Yeah like why buy something you're not gonna finish? I always beat every game I buy and don't even buy a new game till I finish the one I got before it.

Official Cookies 'n Cream/Tsundere fan of the IDF/NDF
I do it too but with me its sorta different. Its not that I don't like the game I'm playing or even bored of it. Its that I look at my other games and want to play them too. Sadly by the time I get back to a game I have long forgotten where I am and what I was doing in it last and need to start over. Thus the cycle repeats.

Rated 4 out of 5 Great location and great food... We stay here every time we come to NYC...great location, staff always really friendly and helpful and delicious food... May 18, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by Mickey Poor office service I stayed at the Brooklyn Sheraton last November and was charged for two days that I did not stay. I discovered the problem in Jan and have been trying to correct the charge for the last five months. My discussions with the accounting office have been promises and no action. My credit card is still charged with the two extra days. May 14, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by Vml9186 Restaurant needs work. The room, while small, was very clean, and the bed was wonderful. The staff was very pleasant and helpful. The restaurant however, was dark and dismal. The food was adequate, but certainly did not Wow me at all. The rolls were stale, the service choppy, the baked potato was under cooked. Seemed they were understaffed as well. It bar and dining area are two parts of the same room, but there was classical music playing in the dining area, and sports on the tv blaring in the bar area. Also, the staff should be aware that guests can hear them on the other side of the curtain. May 13, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by WestMassTraveler Super staff and comfortable beds We came for a late show and ended up having to spend more time in the hotel that planned due to rain and fatigue but it was all fine. The staff helped us get to and from where we needed to be and at the time we requested. The price is a bit high but not for NYC area and the location is great. Nice beds. May 13, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by Disappointed123 Poor service and communication dampened my trip I booked 2 rooms at this hotel. I travelled with 2 adults and a six year old. After reaching our first room, we received a call from the front desk asking us to move floors due to a concern that there was a fashion group on the floor above and potential for not getting a good night sleep. I agreed to move rooms and was told it would take 10-15 minutes. After 30 minutes I called down to the front desk and was transfered back into the phone system and then 3 times between people who couldn't help me because the individual who checked me in and asked us to move was not available. After 40 minutes and me complaining we received keys to 1 new room but learned that a second room had not been arranged (again poor communication). It was one hour before I was able to get into the second room which was extremely frustrating and inconvenient. It also delayed our plans and made me feel disregarded and disrespected as a guest. Although I appreciated moving to a quieter floor the one hour disruption and aggravation made me feel like a sucker and delayed my ability to unpack and relax before heading to the city. There was no compensation for the inconvenience. On Sunday, we planned to use the pool but it was not available. This was an another aggravator. One of the reasons I selected this hotel was to use the pool with my six year old. On Sunday, the life guard was 'late', preventing my child from using the pool. Big disappointment! Then we were provided cookies to make up for it BUT CHARGED $36 for four cookies. Ultimately that got straightened out and the charge was reversed but again, poor service, poor accountability and poor communication. There are 2 other hotels on the block. Despite being an SPG member, there were no benefits or reparations made for these inconveniences at the Sheraton. I will stay elsewhere the next time. Not a happy way to celebrate Mother's Day! May 13, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Martha Service! On a Friday afternoon check-in, I had to change rooms and number of guests, etc. The young woman (Zaneyta? might be close to her name) was not just polite, she went out of her way to be helpful and pleasant. She handled all the issues with knowledge and ease. The elegance of the hotel was reflected in the service provided by this young lady. Whenever possible, Sheraton will be my first choice. Thank You! May 13, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Sara81 Superb front desk staff I stay at this hotel 3 nights/week for business and Miguel at the front desk can not be beat! He is always friendly and extremely helpful-- even remembering my room preferences from weeks prior. It can be hard to be away from my family so much, but Miguel makes it just a little more palatable. May 10, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by MTR1 Great Hotel The Sheraton Brooklyn is a very good hotel for all travelers. Brooklyn businesses are a short walk away. The staff is very friendly, and the rooms are clean and comfortable. Would definitely recommend this hotel for business or personal travels if in Brooklyn. May 3, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by ProdAud Not up to standards Although the desk staff on check in was gracious and accomodating, I was not impressed with this facility. Had to wait on a busy, crowded street for several minutes to even get the attention of the valet person, who in turn took his time about summoning a bellman (I am in a leg cast at the moment) to assist me, and to actually take my vehicle. Found room to be small, crowded, and bathroom layout/lighting/fan noise poor. Service at the bar was slow, inattentive, even though it was very quiet, low number of patrons. Desk staff on checkout failed to send bellman, even after 2 calls, and was slow and uncaring during checkout. Will not recommend this property. April 25, 2013

Rated 5 out of 5 by Mike43 A Fine Stay The front desk staff was friendly and efficient in seeing to our needs. Although we arrived earlier than anticipated (due to light traffic) we were cared for in a professional and quick manner. Although the room was a bit small, the bed was great, the view excellent, and the experience such that I would return. Thanks again to Zakeyma and the rest of the Front desk staff. April 23, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by HED13 Excellent location for downtown Bklyn. Sheraton is located close to transportation, downtown shopping and convienient to sightseeing. April 22, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by APJOHNSON All-around good visit This was an all-around good visit. The rooms were clean, although definitely on the small side. On a previous visit we had a larger room, so perhaps be sure to specify if you need a room that accomodates a crib etc. April 22, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by june The location is very good The only thing I found missing was a shower cap. There were plenty of soaps, razor, cotton balls, even a nail file, but no shower cap. April 22, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by MikeS A big disappointment We usually stay somewhere else in Brooklyn but decided to try the Sheraton. We won't be back. The big problem was with the heat in the room. The thermostat consistently read 74, but we were shivering all the time. An engineer came to check it out, said it was working now and the room should warm up after a while. It didn't. We couldn't even close the vent, which sent a loud, ferocious wind across the bed all night. But there were other problems: weak water pressure, no phone by the bed, and no drawers in the room (really?). The hotel is also in a strange place-taxis couldn't get to it. All that said, the staff were all great, attentive and friendly and the room service food and service were excellent. April 22, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Kiki Great Hotel Very clean and the facilities met all my expectations and I would recommend the expectations April 18, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Phillygirl47 Impressed! I thought the staff was exceptionally polite and gracious. They went out of their way to make my husband and I feel comfortable, from room choice to every request I made. (Damion check in). in addition, on check out (Michelle?) helped me find a subway which had an elevator which I needed. It helped us feel more comfortable and at home, in this busy metropolis . . .near the big apple. . .and made the experience more accessible. Thanks! April 15, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by jonathan27 this hotel has great staff not a good time phone were down and cool air was not working April 14, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by BuffaloAmy Construction noise & extra charges For the most part, this is a good place to stay. However, there is very noisy construction right behind that starts early every weekday morning. Also there is a high charge for in room wifi which seems unnecessary in this day & age. Finally, a $2 per bag charge for leaving your luggage in storage for the day after check out makes you feel like you are getting nickled & dimed. Uncool. April 14, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by tph123 April 9th & 10th I have stayed at this hotel many times and generally ok but does seem to have more than it's fair share of problems. I checked in April 9, an unusally hot day to find out the AC wasn't working. When checking in I was advised to open the window & turn on the bathroom fan to circulate the air. When I got to my room I tried to call down for room service only to find out that the phones didn't work above the 15th floor. I also choose to go green when I checked in whichh I expected meant the bed linens & towels would not be changed but my room was not serviced at all. April 14, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by LatinEddy Go with executive club level Based on reviews i'd read, i decided to fork over an extra 1000 points (11,000) for an executive level room. This gave my wife and i access to the executive club lounge which is quite pimpin (to borrow a brooklyn phrase). The food is varied and excellent in the lounge whether for breakfast or in the evening. We had a problem our first night as it seemed some younsters had booked the room next to us and preceded to throw a drunken orgiastic party all night. When it got past midnight we got the staff involved and they got them to tone it down. We received a couple thousand bonus points for our trouble which was gracious. Lastly, we had a great view of the new arenaand downtown. April 9, 2013

Rated 5 out of 5 by Heather97 this hotel was family friendly and accomodating We brought our children ages 9 and 12 and they were happy to be here and felt welcome anywhere we ventured. the business travelers were also very friendly to our family. March 30, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Julie65 Sheraton Brooklyn was great Hotel and staff were great! I was originally to be in a room by the elevators, but being a light sleeper, I requested a room further away. The staff readily granted my request and moved me to another room. Room was very nice. Bed and bathroom were very comfortable. March 26, 2013

I have a contact form on my website inviting people to enquire about my services. During the last 4 weeks all my spam has been of a similar style. The email address where the spam comes from is almost always in the form [email protected] with the names always being normal rather than silly, though the name of the sender is often silly. The other fields just contain random characters. The message always says "Good site, Admin" or "Good Post, Admin". No trying to link me to porn or sell me drugs or anything with any purpose at all.
Has anyone else experienced this, and if so, what are the aims of the spammer?

what are the aims of the spammer?
If you open/reply they know it has reached a valid address, the real spam will then follow later.

I delete them as a matter of course. However the spammer would easily know that the email address was valid as nobody would have a contact form that delivers an email to an address that doesn't exist (unless they have a commercial death wish) so I still cannot see the gain. And why "Good site, Admin" or "Good Post, Admin" as a message?

I have a similar problem with a couple of sites I host. The PHP script I use is supposed to get round this but someone has cracked the code and the spam actually comes via the contact form. Most annoying! What type of Form Mail are you using? Can you give us a link to your Contact Form.

I have all sorts of the normal spam in the past, and though annoying, spam hasn't yet got to the stage where I cannot find real emails. This current 'campaign' of spam started very suddenly, and at the moment 90% of my spam has "Good site, Admin" or "Good Post, Admin" as the message.

I`ve had a quick look and it seems to use a PHP script called feedback.php - I assume this was a free script or was this feature provided by a website designer? In any event it may be customisable to include a Captcha element where the users have to enter a random set of numbers or letters before submitting the form.
I too get a few with similar subject titles and the most persistant are from Rumania. This thread might get more qualified advice in the Web Design Forum. I`ll suggest that FE moves it there for you and watching with interest.

I have tried to incorporate a Captcha element before, but the end result always looked a mess. It wss a bit beyond my technical ability, so I removed it.

You could try including an antispam question in the form. I use one such as "what is 6 + 3", and if the answer submitted in the form is anything other than 9 then the form cannot be submitted.
If you use Dreamweaver (a fairly recent version) then you can quite easily put a Spry behaviour in that does this for you using the built in DW scripting.
I also make sure that all forms are validated, that phone number fields are only allowed to contain numbers and email addresses must be in the correct format (though a lot of spammers can recognise email fields now).
It's an on-going battle I'm afraid!!

Thanks FE. Brilliant idea HighTower but how do we adapt the PHP script to do that? I now it`s got something to do with mandatory fields, can you give us an example please.

A simple anti-spam question is not a bad idea - infinitely better than any CAPTCHA system - but it's no longer a 100% solution and it shouldn't be necessary really. I never use one on any of my clients' sites. Remember that simply validating fields for "correct" content is not quite the right direction to take on its own - you need to validate against unwanted content as well.
If you need an off-the-shelf solution that works well, you could take a look at scripts such as the DD Form Mailer, the Green Beast v3 script, or the Jemjabella v2 script. I use a script that incorporates some similar methods. Those three range from pretty secure to very secure, using different solutions which you could add to your scripts or maybe replace them entirely. In particular, check how the Jemjabella script uses a simple but very robust array to filter out so-called bad words and bots. Updated lists of bots can be found on the net. Form Mailer FE might be worth a look as well, but it's far from the most efficient code, so it runs slowly as a result and it's harder to work with.
Hope that helps.

How do you figure out your playing style?

A couple of different things to think about:

I really feel like my strokes themselves are decent (working on improvvements) but a big mental change is what I need I think. A real confidence booster.I dont know much about the ntrp ratings but I guess my skill level is like 3.5 or something like that from what ive seen on the board. I've got a short compact forehand thats very topsin oriented. It tends to be on the loopy side and my faveorite shot is to take the forehand to you the backhand. My backhand is relativley new and stiff and flatter. But when i connect well it has a fair amount of pace and spin. My serve is ehh inconsistant. I lack precise placement and can hit a decent serve i suppose (working on more pace) but im not going to blowing anyone off the court i dont think.. at least not yet! So can someone help me out? Its not that im mentally weak.. its just i i dont have a gameplan to go by. And sometimes i feel lost as what to do out on the court. I feel that i have the potential to play a much better game.. im just not sure what my "weapon" should be
- If you have a simple key for a match...as in, getting lots of balls back...and it actually works...then you're way ahead of most people who come up with strategies that are as elegant as a chess match...but don't work when you have to do all that thinking while you're running around the court.
- Improve your skills, and you will have more choices. I would agree that you're about a 3.5, so take a look at the difference between 3.5s and 4.0s:
You have achieved improved stroke dependability with directional control on moderate shots, but need to develop depth and variety. You exhibit more aggressive net play, have improved court coverage and are developing teamwork in doubles.
You have dependable strokes, including directional control and depth on both forehand and backhand sides on moderate-paced shots. You can use lobs, overheads, approach shots and volleys with some success and occasionally force errors when serving. Rallies may be lost due to impatience. Teamwork in doubles is evident"
That's not all there is to it, but you get the joke...come up with better fundamentals and you'll be able to do more. You can have a Plan A based on your strengths, but you can also have Plans B and C if A doesn't work out.
- A style is not quite the same thing as your NTRP level, see the following thread:
...and also see what I said in this thread:
Watch the ball, hit it hard, and don't think...

In these days of economic uncertainty and write-offs, sellers should be aware of their right under Section 2-705 of the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) to stop the delivery of goods in transit to an insolvent buyer who has not taken physical possession of the goods. "Insolvent," within the meaning of the UCC, means that a buyer has "…generally ceased to pay debts in the ordinary course of business other than as a result of bona fide dispute …." In some cases, litigation may be necessary to determine the issue of insolvency. Additionally, a buyer may refuse or defeat a demand to stop goods in transit where (a) it has actually received the goods in question, (b) a bailee of the goods (other than a carrier) acknowledges it is holding the goods for the buyer, (c) a carrier, through reshipment or warehousing, makes such acknowledgment to the buyer, or (d) the buyer has negotiated a negotiable document of title to the goods.

About Hydration Systems
Letting yourself get dehydrated is the quickest way to compromise your performance and ruin your fun. A hydration system lets you carry a good amount (usually 2 or 3 litres) of water without interfering with your hands and with a convenient valve to drink from whenever you like. During intensive exercise, you'll need to drink around 1 litre of water every hour which means sipping little and often - much easier if you don't have to stop what you're doing and locate a bottle. Adding an energy drink to the water makes the process even more effective and can enhance performance. Make sure you choose a cleaning kit to go with your system or you'll be buying a new reservoir regularly! Different systems combine varying amounts of hydration capacity with a wide variety of cargo options, meaning you can carry everything from an energy bar to all the gear you need for a full day out.
About the Ultimate Direction brand
Water is the essential element for training, racing and performance, which is why Ultimate Direction work hard to craft the best hydration products around. Continually improving upon their innovative products is something they are passionate about and have consistently delivered top of the line products. They draw their inspiration from you so that the products can evolve with your wants and needs in order to construct the best hydration products you could ever dream of.

I'm Brad, host of The "Bringing Disneyland Home Video Podcast". The BDH Vidcast has been around since December 1, 2005. This show is a video series dedicated to all Disneyland and Disney fans. If you're like me, you can never get enough of the magic Disneyland has to offer. This series includes home video tours and attraction ride throughs from the Disneyland Resort in Anaheim, CA.
Some of you may already be subscribed to the show but for those who aren't, you can find it on iTunes or by visiting my website at www.oakfan.com
Speaking of oakfan...I get asked quite a bit what it stands for. Well, its a nickname I made up to represent my 2 favorite hobbies. I'm a huge Disneyland fan as well as an Oakland A's baseball fan. So, to kill 2 birds with one name, I invented "O"riginal "A"naheim "K"ingdom FAN or OAKFAN for short.
I've been an official member of the Disney Podcast Network since it started back in March of 2006. If you are a fan of Disney Podcasts and want to hang out at Disneyland with Podcasters and Podcast fans, the DPN's Westfest is the perfect opportunity.

Customer Reviews
Privacy can be invaded and you will get embarrassed
Ok I was thrilled with this app until I found a huge embarrassing glitch. I had set up double passwords. One to access the app and the other to open the individual albums. Passwords do protect entry into the application so you are safe up to that point. This is where the glitch starts. Now if you have the option to password protect the albums set up you will be asked to enter the password you chose for those folders to view the pics but uh oh there is a way to bypass that. Yup just tilt your iphone horizontally and you'll still see the password screen but you will also see pics to your right and just touch the pics and you are in without password. I don't know about you guys but to me that's not the level of privacy I can trust in. So until that's fixed I am not going to buy this app.
Deceitful, Clearly Fake Reviews
This app is deceitful, it has little if any functionality except to try to sell you the full version, which isn't even mentioned in the description. I went back to check all the 5 star reviews, it doesn't take a genius to notice they're clearly fake, probably the developer creating new accounts to make it appear that people might like this product, and perhaps sucker some into buying it.
(My review of this app is identical to the other app(s) in the store that are the SAME APP as this! That's right- they have the same app listed under adifferent name, developer, and icon - SHADY!!)
Not very secure
The concept of this app is great. Sadly, it was easy for me to view the pictures after entering the first password. On the second password screen, if you tilt the phone to landscape you can see the pictures in the folders. Then by selecting one of those pictures I can then scroll through the rest of the pictures in the album.

Friday November 2, 2012
THE F1 in Schools Formula One Technology Challenge in Malaysia is organised by the Education Ministry.
The annual competition begins at the state level and qualified teams will go on to the national level before the winners advance to the international level.
SMK Bandar Tun Hussein Onn Fourth Former Krisnadevan Vellayadevan and his team, Vitesse Racing, represented their school in the state-level competition recently.
They have been chosen to compete at the national level from Nov 4 to 7 in Penang. On the final, they will be collaborating with a team from Sultan Abdul Hamid College, Kedah at the finals.
Vitesse Racing has to develop a F1 mini car out of a balsa wood by complying with the given specifications, rules and regulations and it will be raced.
Krisnadevan, who is team manager and design manager, will join teammembers Rifaat Naim (graphic designer), Saw Zhi Shan (resource manager), Hurul Ain Azman Shah (manufacturing engineer) and teacher-adviser Farouq Idris in preparing a business plan, developing a budget and raising sponsorship.
Using 3D CAD (computer-aided design) software, the team will attempt to design a Formula One car of the future.
The team will also evaluate the most efficient machining strategy and test the aerodynamics of their model in wind and smoke tunnels.
At the competition, the cars will be raced side by side along a 20m straight at more than 60km/h.
Teams will be judged on car speed, as well as supporting evidence of their design, verbal presentation and marketing display stand in ''the pits".
On Oct 22, the Selangor Telugu Welfare and Culture Association (STWCA) stepped in to help the Vitesse Racing team.
At a meeting in Kuala Lumpur, Krisnadevan and his team presented their mini F1 car and STWCA has agreed to help them out financially.
Currently, Krisnadevan's team needs to raise funds for current and future development of their racing cars.
