Rated 4 out of 5 by Gooby Excellent Stay! The Seattle Sheraton is in a perfect downtown location to all the must-sees of the city. Our room was on the 28th floor, so we had a beautiful view of Seattle. The hotel is directly across from Niketown, Morton's Steakhouse, a movie theatre, and an arcade for the gamers. Staff was friendly and the room and lobby were very well cared for. Will stay again on our next trip! August 3, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by SJTraveler Good Location Very nice hotel. Easy walk to many local attractions. Night time area a couple of blocks away was not real comfortable. Would stay again. August 3, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by tourists5 Great facility This hotel had everything we were looking for, great location, walking distance to everything including the light rail to sea tac. Staff was ver helpful and knowledgeable. If your looking for a centrally located hotel this would be my choice. The only negative was the wifi was not included in the rate. I would definitely recommend. August 2, 2014

Rated 4 out of 5 by Steph Great Choice in Seattle Recently stayed two nights at the hotel while traveling for business. The staff, most notably, the concierge, was wonderful. Special thanks to the front desk who took care of shipping clothes to me that were left in the room. The location is great for walking to business as well as most tourist sites. There are very few hotels that deserve a five star rating- only reason for the four stars, Thank you for the great stay. July 31, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by HG39 Great place in the city Little pricey, but very nice hotel in wonderful location. The pool was closed when we were there and the kids sad, but otherwise lovely and very easy walk to eat and shop. July 30, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Saller Great Location Great staff in every area of the hotel, great location, parking is a bit steep, but ok July 28, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by MrsDori Comfort Comfort Comfort Great accommodations and great location! This hotel was within walking distance to Pike's Market, other local attractions and public transportation. This was the first hotel of many on our two week vacation in Washington and Oregon state with our two young adult daughters. The one consistant comment I heard from my daughters was that none of the other hotels at which we stayed compared to the Sheraton Sweet Sleeper Bed. Thank you for the wonderful stay! July 28, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by smckd Great Seattle Hotel It's a pleasant surprise to find this quality of experience in Sheraton's - very recommended for business travelers. Spacious, spotlessly clean, stylish room. Very professional staff in both reception and housekeeping. July 28, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by TJK007 Nice Stay - rooms a little warm I was in Seattle for a conference and enjoyed the hotel. The staff was incredibly pleasant and stellar. The room itself has a city view and was rather warm no matter how low we tuned the thermostat. My woife came with me and we stayed two says after the conference but the pool was closed for work for those two days - something we were really looking forward to enjoying. July 28, 2014

Rated 4 out of 5 by frequentseattletravels Great option when staying in downtown Seattle Good rooms. Improved breakfast spread. July 27, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Ling01 Convenient Location, Excellent Service As a Platinum SPG member, the staff made me feel very welcome and valued. The Club Lounge is an excellent way to start the day with a healthy breakfast. The room was very comfortable and the check-in/check-out process was very quick and efficient. Overall, a wonderful stay. I will certainly return to this hotel next time I am in Seattle. July 27, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Les2001 Great place to stay for conference Sheraton Seattle is a great centrally located hotel for attending conferences at the convention center and for visiting the city. The staff were excellent-everyone I encountered was pleasant and helpful. The lobby area is beautiful. Fitness facility is great. The shower in the room was outstanding. My only issue is that I was traveling with my family and found the four people really cannot share two double beds. Lesson learned. July 27, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Decs2014 Simply Wonderful The room was so clean and comfortable. The staff members were all so polite and helpful. The location of the hotel was central to everything. We were able to shop, eat, and explore the sites and quickly go back to the hotel. Everything was within walking distance. July 26, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by saguaro Fun in Seattle Thanks for the great rooms, good food and outstanding service. It's centrally located so that we have walking access to public transportation. These are reason's why we stay at the Sheraton. July 25, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Roknok Pleasantly surprised I was pleasantly surprised by this hotel - after reading some reviews. We stayed in the pyke St tower but our family were in other ( cant remember name)they stated that their room was more modern but I was happy with ours. The towels were a bit on the small side but the bedding was luxury. The $10.95 daily wifi was a bit excessive though. If you walked in off the street you could access it for free in the lounge but as a paying guest ( there for 5 nights too) I think it should be free or at least minimal charge July 24, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by Gryphon Conference blues We stayed at the Sheraton Seattle from July 19 to July 22. On Sunday, July 20, the maid service came late in the afternoon when it was inconvenient for us , did not return at all that day. Maid service was fine on Monday, July 21. We requested wake up calls for our first two mornings...calls never came with the result that I missed a session at our conference. We made several requests to guest services for a very early wake-up call for the morning of July 22 as we had early travel commitments. A member of staff came to look at the phone and assured us it was working...it wasn't and the wake-up call didn't come. We were seriously inconvenienced by this on our last morning there, an important one as we were travelling home and had train and flight reservations. Not a very satisfactory experience. July 24, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by PepperHot Weekend In Seattle The hotel was in a perfect location and we had a quiet comfortable room and the hotel staff gave excellent service. We were in Seattle to celebrate my birthday, see a show at the 5th Avenue theater and take in a baseball game at Safco. The valet parking left our car with a bump on the front passenger side but ACE parking said it was not done on their watch so we will have to get that fixed. The pool was too hot for comfortable lap swimming and I think the hotter temperature encouraged the alcohol drinkers than hung out in the pool with their beverages in the afternoon. I would stay there again but not use the vale parking. July 24, 2014

Rated 1 out of 5 by yangster This hotel does not value SPG Platinum members I try very hard to maintain platinum status with SPG every year. I've been a platinum member for the last 10 years. Most SPG hotels I stayed would recognize my loyalty and would have reserved at least a SPG level room w/o asking. This was not the case with the Sheraton Seattle. I was assigned a regular room on the 19th floor (out of 35). I asked if there were SPG or higher level room...I was told immediately I have the highest level room available for the night (without looking at the computer) I didn't feel the agent even tried to find another room me. I asked her politely again "would you please check if there is a SPG room available for a platinum member?" She responded with the same answer again, and then asked me for my platinum amenity selection. I do not feel I am being valued as a platinum member at this hotel. I have another reservation to stay here again next week. I will have to find a new hotel now...I am very disappointed with Sheraton Seattle and rethinking the value of maintaining platinum status with SPG. July 24, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Mbierman services This hotel was great. I loved the option to not have maid service July 23, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Conference258 Great hotel The hotel and staff were great. Although I did not need my room much - if you want to take an afternoon nap - this might not work as cleaning didn't happen until after the noon hour and sometimes as late as 3:00 Oh and as a quick side note - this is one of the places I'd bring my own blow dryer.

Testers say federal health care website runs slow
Friday - 3/28/2014, 10:08am EDT
Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) -- If you're waiting until the last minute to sign up for coverage under President Barack Obama's health care law, a little extra patience might come in handy.
HealthCare.gov, the online portal to taxpayer-subsidized health insurance, runs slowly when compared with major private health insurer websites. That's according to an analysis for The Associated Press by Compuware, a Detroit company that measures website performance.
The tests found that response time for HealthCare.gov averaged nearly nine seconds nationally over the seven-day period that ended Tuesday. Generally, response time for leading private health insurance websites averages just under five seconds. Based on that real-world comparison, Compuware says the speed of HealthCare.gov is "unacceptable."
On the positive side, HealthCare.gov was available more than 98 percent of the time, about average for the industry.
Compuware defines "response time" as the time it takes a first-time user to load the home page for a given website. The company's tests did not attempt to go through the entire process of applying for health insurance, which involves submitting personal and income details, getting the information verified by government agencies, and finally selecting a plan.
This week is crunch time for the federal health care website. Open enrollment ends Monday. After March 31 most consumers will have to wait until Nov. 15 for their next chance to sign up and receive tax credits to help pay their premiums.
The administration said late Tuesday that people who've started applying for health insurance but aren't able to finish before the March 31 deadline will get extra time. It was unclear how long the extension would last.
"As a taxpayer I'd be thinking, did we get our money's worth?" said Michael Smith, Compuware's vice president for engineering. "I'd be very concerned coming up against a deadline. ... My main concern is how would this site stand up under load?"
Health and Human Services Department spokesman Aaron Albright brushed off the findings.
HealthCare.gov had more than 1 million visits Monday and was holding up well, he said, unlike what happened in October when the site was down most of the time.
If the site starts seeing very high demand, Albright said technicians have built an advanced queuing system that creates a "waiting room" where people can hold for a short period of time. Consumers can also leave an email address and be invited back when the system is ready.
As for response times, Albright said the government's own measurements show average times have dropped to less than half a second.
Smith said the government might be getting those blazingly fast times by testing its system from data center computers. Compuware uses software installed on laptops and desktops of actual consumers to perform its tests. Dial-up connections were filtered out of the HealthCare.gov analysis.
"The sub-one-second time is not what real users are experiencing when they use the site," he said.
Getting covered using the website is still nowhere near as simple as shopping elsewhere online. Consumers make an average of six visits to HealthCare.gov, spending 20 minutes to 30 minutes per visit, an administration official told reporters on a recent teleconference call.
The White House is scrambling to get 6 million people signed up in the new health insurance markets by March 31. Presidential spokesman Jay Carney had told reporters last week that the administration wanted to make sure "that people who are already in line can finish their enrollment." He pointed to what happened in December when consumers got an extra day to enroll for coverage effective Jan. 1.
Officials didn't call that an extension, or even a grace period. They compared it to the Election Day practice of allowing people to vote if they are in line when the polls close.

Mahmoud, Mishpacha!
UPDATED: London 'Telegraph' says Iran's president is Jewish; 'Guardian' disagrees
Over the weekend, the London Telegraph reported that Iran's Holocaust-denying, Israel-hating and evidently nuke-seeking president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, is secretly a Jew—making him, potentially, the most self-loathing Jew who ever lived.
Versions of this story have been kicking around for a while. Radio Free Europe posted an item in January citing Mehdi Khazali, the pro-reform son of a prominent conservative ayatollah, who apparently called for an investigation into Ahmadinejad's origins in a blog post. (Khazali was arrested this summer amid the fierce opposition protests that accompanied Ahmadinejad's re-election, and the link to his site is now dead.) And there's this anonymous video post, dating back to last fall, that actually accuses Ahmadinejad of being a tool of the Zionist regime, rather than an overcompensating hypocrite—even enlarging his nose to caricature proportions, for effect, in case anyone missed the point. And the Guardian reported back in 2005, when Ahmadinejad was first elected, that the family had changed its name when Mahmoud was still a toddler "for a mixture of religious and economic reasons"—but didn't draw the Jewish link, or explain what the "religious reasons" were.
So what changed? Well, the Telegraph story cites Ahmadinejad's identity documents, which he proudly displayed to the press in March. They show his family name was originally Sabourjian (or Saborjhian), which, the story explains, derives from "weaver of the Sabour," the Farsi name for a tallis. And, to boot, the name is on a list of Jewish surnames compiled by Iran's interior ministry—so, in other words, according to the paper's blog editor, it's "the Persian equivalent of being born Mohammed Greenberg." So: Mahmoud, how do you say 'vavoy' in Farsi?
(By the bye, we were sad that Saturday Night Live punted in its "Weekend Update" sketch featuring Fred Armisen as Ahmadinejad, as usual—but we laughed that much harder when Nasim Pedrad, playing Mrs. Ahmadinejad, joked that "he farts under the sheets, and blames it on Israel.")
UPDATE: Now it turns out that the folks behind this story might be Iran's equivalent of the birthers. Middle East analyst Meir Javedanfar writes in today's Guardian that Ahmadinejad isn't Jewish and that his father was actually a devout Muslim who taught Koran. Javedanfar cites Tel Aviv University professor David Yerushalmi, who explains that Persians refer to tzitzis as, well, tzitzis, not "Sabour," as the Telegraph reported, and that "Sabourjian" isn't a particularly Jewish name, either. No update from the Telegraph, as yet.

Accommodation and facilities:
Sita beach resort has a great location on Koh Lipe. A couple of hundred meters walk on the beach to Walking Street. The hotel area is really nice, the breakfast is ok and the rooms is getting cleaned every day. But we booked a beachfront deluxe vila and what Sita has is not a beach front vila. What we we saw from our beachfront deluxe vila was a parking place. The vila is close to the beach but it is a parking place between the vila and the beach. Disappointed! Not what we paid for and not what we expected. The reception staff is doing their jobb but are not very polite and helpful. When we arrived the pool was totaly green and way to hot to swim in. But this got better during our stay. Is it an expansive hotel so we expected more.
Reservation service:
Good, nothing to say about that.

A very nice resort, even though it was a little bit expensive. The resort have 2 pools, 1 in the upper area and 1 near the restaurant. We had the Beach front bungalow and it was excellent. Very nice and helpful staff, cleaning was perfect, and nice and good food in the restaurant, breakfast was superb . The beach is beautiful with white powder sand, but a little bit noise from the longtial boat.

We miss the nice dogs and puppies. We also miss the free soda you provided before. Some advice for the breakfast: - please serve cold milk - please serve some cheese - the fruit juice is far too sweet

Отель расположен на основном пляже. Пляж отличный, вход в воду хороший, но после обеда вода уходит и становится очень мелко. Завтраки меня не очень впечатлили. Они ориентированы на азиатских туристов в основном. Номера великолепные. Мы жили в номере с видом на океан G1. Потрясающий вид! Всем советую этот отель!

School officials tell the Idaho State Journal that the alarm at about 1 p.m. Thursday sent students outside for about 10 minutes before they were allowed back in.
Principal Lori Carney says the alarm turned out to be a good fire drill practice and everyone did an excellent job evacuating.

Uncle Goose Language Blocks
Lena and Ole searched far and wide to find high quality toys made in the United States and Scandinavia. We are again stocking something parents, grandparents, and great grandparents will love for those special children in their lives. These blocks (like the old-fashioned wood blocks some of us played with growing up) are high-quality Michigan basswood and made in Grand Rapids, Michigan. We have blocks in stock that can help your little ones start to learn a language (or more than one) at a time when it's easier to learn — when they are learning to speak. The blocks have letters and pictures that correspond with the various languages including Norwegian, Swedish, Danish and, of course, English. The blocks range in price from $36.50 for the English blocks and $39.50 for the other languages. There are 28 blocks in the Classic ABC English set, 27 blocks in the Danish set, and 30 in each of the Norwegian and Swedish sets. They are of the quality that will be handed down to the next generation. Call 414-745-4362 to order – shipping is extra. Order early to have them for Christmas gift giving.
Uncle Goose Nursery rhyme blocks perfect gift for new baby.
Hickory, dickory, block. An update of a classic set, these fun and memorable blocks help children to learn their nursery rhymes. They are perfect for playing, reading, learning or as a nursery decoration, which makes it a great baby shower gift. Each block is embossed with two silhouette images from classic Mother Goose stories, and the text for nine nursery rhymes is printed on the other four sides.
These 9 nursery block set made in Michigan of natural, kiln-dried Michigan Basswood are safe, heirloom quality gifts. The set is only $16.50 plus shipping. Call 414-745-4362 to order today.
Another Lena and Ole Joke Book!.
Yes, it's true — a flip flop book — read the jokes in one half "e.g. "women are from Minot" and then flip the book over and read je jokes about "men are from Uranus". Bruce Danielsen and Ann Berg from Cambridge, Minnesota are well qualified to write about those classic Norwegians, Ole and Lena. This great paperback is filled with crazy pictures and jokes for only $6.95. A must have for any Scandinavian — almost cheaper than a get-well card and lots cheaper to laugh than to "take pills" to feel better. Call Lena at 414-745-4362 to order!
Join Lena and Ole in Tucson, Arizona for the Nordic Fair
Lena and Ole will be in Tucson, Arizona enjoying the 70 degree weather as they get ready for the 32nd annual Nordic Fair on Saturday, December 6 from 9 to 3. The fair will be held at the Streams in the Desert Lutheran Church, 5360 E. Pima (1 block west of Craycroft). There will be Scandinavian crafts and collectibles representing the Danes, Swedes, Finns, and Norwegians. Enjoy ethnic foods while you are there and purchase typical Norwegian baked goods (come early as they disappear fast). There will be entertainment including authentic dancing and more. It will be inside and outside in the beautiful courtyard. You will find Lena and Ole there ready to help you with your holiday shopping and to say hello. They have lots of new Christmas decorations to help you create a very traditional Scandinavian jul.
Buy Scandinavian flags and windsocks from Lena and Ole's Gifts
Pictured above is our booth at the Scandinavian Fair near Charlotte, NC. Note the Norwegian vimple — the large traditional Norwegian "flag" flying above our booth. We have the vimple available for $49.00 plus shipping — a traditional way that Norwegians fly their colors and let everyone know when they are at home during non-flag days. It is a great Christmas gift. One of our favorite items is a windsock — available with Norwegian, Swedish, Danish, Finnish flag designs as well as the US flag. We even have a German windsock since Lane (also known as Ole) has German roots. We also carry Canadian, English, and Italian windsocks while supplies last! They are only $19.95 plus shipping and are high quality, stitched nylon pieces (not printed) and will hold up well outside.
Call 414-745-4362 to have it sent to you or your gift recipient.
Norwegian Konge Tinn is a Great Wedding or Anniversary Gift
Konge Tinn pewter tableware from Norway is one of the favorite wedding or anniversary gifts available from Lena and Ole's Gifts. 5 piece placesettings are available as well as many other serving pieces including the famous Norwegian cheese cutter. The set has the historical depection of Norwegian kings around the base and is sold with the beautiful red gift box. Just call 414-745-4362 to get current pricing and to order. You can also get information on additional pieces of Konge Tinn and other Scandinavian flatware available for purchase.
Lena and Ole Joke Books
If you need some more jokes about Lena and Ole (notice Lena always likes to list herself first), we've got lots of the Red Stangland Ole and Lena Joke books (#1 – #8). Now Ole says those are a bargain — still only $2.50 each plus shipping — $1.00 each. "Cheap, says Ole", call 414-745-4362 or e-mail us.
Breaking news: yes, there are now 8. When the Stangland sons (authors of the $2.50 Lena and Ole joke books) were cleaning their North Dakota warehouse, they found a #8!! It had evidently been forgotten and we now have it in stock while it lasts. Just as funny as the others!!
Nordland Bunad Figurine on Sale from Lena and Ole's Gifts
. These figurines are authentic reproductions of the bunads traditionally worn by the women of the Nordland region of Norway.
The Bunad Figurine Collection is a great gift giving idea and a wonderful way to share the traditions of our heritage with our children and grandchildren. It will be cherished by your family for years and years to come. Each 7 inch tall statuette is sculptured by a master craftsman, cast in a crushed stone and resin compound, and hand painted to preserve even the minutest detail. The collection has been assembled in collaboration with, and is recommended by, The Norwegian Museum of Cultural History, Norsk Folkemuseum, located in Oslo and The Folk and National Costume Council, Bunad-og Folkedraktrådet, located in Fagernes.
These figurines are not being created any more so then our 3 Nordland figurines are gone — that's it! They are now on sale for $19.50 including shipping (previously $22.95 and shipping was extra).

Indonesia jails Japanese teen for possession of marijuana
DENPASAR, Indonesia (AFP) - An Indonesian court on Thursday sentenced a Japanese teenager to six months in jail after he was caught with a small amount of marijuana on the resort island of Bali.
The 17-year-old boy, a student at an international high school on the island, was arrested in August after police found 2.61 grams of the drug in his pocket.
"The defendant has been found convincingly and legitimately guilty of abusing narcotics for his personal use," Judge Gunawan Tri Budiono of Denpasar district court said as he handed out the jail term.
The teen's lawyer successfully argued that an initial one-year sentence sought by prosecutors was too harsh, given the boy's age.
