Page 13 ARLINGTON — Those who drive past the Windermere Real Estate office in downtown Arlington may have noticed what looks like a smaller version of the building on a post near the street. It is not a tiny real estate agency, but a Little Free Library. Al Lehman, who works at Windermere, built a log-cabin inspired Little Free Library at his home in Arlington Heights. He also pitched the idea to his real estate broker who funded the addition of a library at their offices on Burke Avenue in Arlington. "I really love reading and when I heard about Little Free Libraries, I thought it Lauren Salcedo/Staff Photo Al Lehman organizes books in the Windermere Real Estate Little Free Library in Arlington. would be a good thing for the neighborhood," he said. Little Free Libraries began in 2009 when a Wisconsin man named Todd Bol built a model of a schoolhouse as a tribute to his mother, a teacher who was passionate about reading. He filled the schoolhouse with books and put it on a post in his front yard. This began a movement that has led to what the Little Free Library organization estimates will amount to 15,000 free libraries in 55 countries by the end of this year.

How is it that humanoids that evolve on totally alien planets look just like humans with latex bumps on their hand and can successfully mate with humans? In the Star Trek universe, alien ecosystems are not very alien all.

Speaking of LaForge's solution to the tactical problem, the episode really suffers from plot logic shortcomings there. Picard had already shut down the system that kept the demonstrations going, so the assailant threatening the starship should have vanished as well. OTOH, if the orbital demonstration did
end when Picard bought the planetside version, then a second and even more powerful starship-killer should have popped up right after LaForge managed to blast the first one!
I just wrote that off as either the drone malfunctioning or not receiving the termination signal due to atmospheric interference. That kind of stuff happens all the time in Star Trek. But yeah, it would have been nice if the episode acknowledged that.
I have a theory on that. Note the following exchange:
SALESMAN: Why, the Echo Papa Six Oh Seven. Our proudest achievement. The ultimate in weapons system technology.
PICARD: Is that what's behind the attack on my people?
SALESMAN: Impressive demonstration, isn't it?
PICARD: Demonstration? It tried to kill us.
SALESMAN: Versatile, powerful, and easy to use. The Six Oh Seven does it all. Its various modules can gather information, neutralise ground personnel, even destroy enemy space vessels.
PICARD: The Enterprise. Is one of those things after my ship? Tell me.
SALESMAN: Of course I can tell you. I am programmed to answer any and all questions about the unit. I can talk terms, arrange for delivery, whatever you need.
CRUSHER: It doesn't understand anything other than what it's peddling.
SALESMAN: The Six Oh Seven represents the state of the art in dynamic, adaptive design. It learns from each encounter, and improves itself.
PICARD: So what went wrong? Where are it's creators? Where are the people of Minos?
SALESMAN: Once unleashed, the unit is invincible. The perfect killing system.
PICARD: Too perfect. You poor fools, your own creation destroyed you. What was that noise?
SALESMAN: The unit has analysed its last attack and constructed a new, stronger, deadlier weapon. In a moment, it will launch that weapon against the targets on the surface.
PICARD: Abort it!
SALESMAN: Why would I want to do that? It can't demonstrate its abilities unless we let it leave the nest.
The Salesman doesnt seem to understand the connection between the ship in orbit and the people on the surface. When Picard refers to the Enterprise as my ship, the Salesmans response is a non-sequitur.
I think the system is conducting two separate demonstrations for what it perceives as two separate customers. The weapons on the planets surface appear at 12-minute intervals, not accounting for the one in space. When Picard tells the Salesman he has decided to make a purchase, it terminates the demonstration thats being conducted for the party on the surface, but the other demonstration for the other customer continues. After the Enterprise destroys the weapon thats attacking it, an improved one should appear 12 minutes later, but by that time the Enterprise will have either left the area or hailed the Salesman and agreed to a purchase.

Total 'Irritated' by French Shale Concerns Amid Drilling Freeze
Feb. 11 (Bloomberg) -- Total SA Chief Executive Officer Christophe de Margerie said French concerns about domestic shale oil and gas exploration that led the government to halt drilling until at least the middle of April are premature.
"The day there is proof that there is something to develop, something to explore then we can talk about problems of water injection, injection of some products used to fracture," de Margerie said at a press conference today on fourth-quarter earnings. "My irritation comes from people being told we are going to ruin their homes and forests when in fact there is nothing."
The French government yesterday announced a drilling moratorium for shale oil and gas exploration projects until at least mid-April when the first conclusions of a report on the economic, social and environmental implications will be published. The Energy Ministry had already awarded exploration permits to companies searching for oil in shale rock around Paris and shale gas in southern regions.
Environmental groups have said drilling risks contaminating the water supply because chemicals are used when blasting shale to extract oil and gas, a method that has also met opposition in the U.S. Total holds the southern French Montelima permit.
"We don't even know whether there is shale gas in France," de Margerie said. "When we look at a map of the world, France isn't considered the most attractive country for it."
Schuepbach Energy LLC is planning to drill two wells in October to search for shale gas while Total has plans for a first well at the start of 2012, Environment Minister Nathalie Kosciusko-Morizet and Industry Minister Eric Besson said in a joint statement late yesterday.
Toreador Resources Corp. planned to start in March the first of three wells at the Chateau Thierry permit outside Paris to explore for shale oil while Vermilion Energy Inc. was planning to fracture shale rock in three existing wells this month, according to the ministers.
Toreador shares have dropped about 21 percent since trading began in Paris in December.

Returning Player LFF
I am a returning player looking for a fleet. I live in the EST and work midnights, I am looking for a active laidback fleet. I do have voicechat programs but will not be able to use them if at work, however on off nights, I will be able to use them.
I need to be recustomed to the new content and help with escort class so I can be guided to the best direction of fleet needs.
best way to contact me is through this forum post or aim: Sephtl
thank you once again,
IN-Game Name: Kronas
Join us....
The Vulcan Exploration Fleet is a growing Fleet in STO. We are seeking at this time individuals who are seek to explore the unknown realms of deep space. STO has continued to say that they will be makeing exploration more explorable. At this stage, they are doing a great job. Our Fleet will delve into this exploration once STO makes more changes in the near future to Sector space and Nebula clusters. Also, with the Foundry coming this month our Fleet will be ready to crank out missions for our Fleet and those who wish to exlplore them. Sepir, one of our members is a great RP and has done some good work in this area. Her talents in RP will easily cross over into the Foundry.
At this time we are seeking all species. We accept all game styles of playing. Their is room here in this Fleet to expand your imagination to the next level. Begin your journey with us!
Our ranking system is not complicated or so broad to not understand were you are in this Fleet. It is simple. You will be rank as you are presently are in STO. If you are new to STO, we will help you progress to your desired level and will supply you with material and weapons so you can defend your self when hostilities break out. If you need specialized crafted weapons, we can do it!
So come and let your level of exploring go to the next level, The Vulcan Explploration Fleet {VEF}.
Sounds like you are looking for us.
We are a newly formed fleet (a little over a month) but have already ran 5 events or more. We have no silly rules or complex ranking structure. You determine your involvment in the fleet member or officer. We are just a group of people that like to focus on playing the game together, running stf's regulary as well as other missions together. We have members of all ranks and there will be someone there to help you along the way, as well as someone that you can probably help as well.
Our website is expd.guildlaunch.com
You can apply there (no screening process, just one way that we can send you ingame invite)
James Goetz@goetzjam
Or search for us Expendables
I appreciate you reading this and I am sure you will fit right in.
PS Its not required to have a drink in one hand while playing, but some of us do!
Hi RevelationTL,
Please take a look at 3rd Fleet. We are a large international fleet which gives us an "always on" feeling. So, no matter where you are or when you are playing, expect so find fleet-mates around you. With so many members we have to be active else we wouldn't keep them for long but also this means there is lots of ad hoc teaming to be had.
I'd say we're only really serious about 2 things: Fun and Respect. Fun because if we weren't having fun there would be no reason to stick together. Respect because we don't want anyone feeling abused or put down (this isn't about rank and hierarchy but mutual respect).
We have a TS3 server but it's use is not mandated although everyone admits it makes STDF's and fleet actions a lot easier. It's up to the individual. (Mind you if I could play at work, there'd be a big risk of not getting much work done LOL).
We have a good forum too - with lots of posts about favoured load-outs and specs. And even more people standing ready to offer their opinion. :)
Check us out at http://www.3rdfleet.com
Or see our recruitment video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=42p-B1wWDuE&hd=1
Glad to here you are Rejoining STO. There have been many Great improvements over the last year. And I fully recommend you join a strong stable fleet.
Federation Fleet was formed before STO went into closed beta and has stood the test of time. We have about everything there is to offer from a fleet in a Fun, Fair, and above all, Friendly environment. Feel free to check out our web site at FederationFleet.GuildLaunch.com . Or find one of my fellow fleet mates in game and take a run or two with us. We would be glad to help were we can and show you around all the changes to STO.
And do take a look at 3rd Fleet, They are an allied fleet to Federation Fleet, and are a good group of people as well.
Above all, Enjoy.
Thank you all
Thank you all for taking the time to respond to my post. I will be certain to gain more knowledge about your individual fleets and make an informed decision based on what I have gathered.
You will be hearing from me soon,
Thanks again,
Any time. Always here to help.

|Property type
|Minimum Stay
|2 nights
This cottage offers many options for your own private retreat. Enjoy the Large balcony and outstanding views of Kalamazoo Lake, the backyard garden complete with water fountain, or stroll to Downtown to enjoy fabulous shopping, restaurants, and art. Also, a Dock is available at an additional cost.
Perfect view of Saugatuck's fireworks over the Lake on the 4th of July, Venetian Festival, and New Year's Eve.
Our trip included 5 adults and 3 small dogs (about 8 lbs each). We had a wonderful time at this property! The location was amazing, just a 5 minute walk into town! The house looks very small from the outside, but is actually bigger than it looks. The beds were very comfortable as well as the couch and futon. There were extra blankets and pillows in the bedroom closet which came in handy. The outdoor amenities made the stay even more comfortable. The large grill and deck furniture made it very comfortable to cook dinner while relaxing at the same time. There is a small pond in the back yard with running water that enhances the relaxation experience. Lastly, we were greeted on arrival with a bottle of sangria and list of area attractions with brochures, very nice touch! We decided as a family to come back to Saugatuck every year. Next year we hope to stay for a full week at this same location! However, once suggestion, bring your bug spray and citronella candles, all of Saugatuck is very bug friendly in the evening, obviously due to the lake!
This house was situated in an ideal spot; The view of the lake was wonderful and the neighbors very nice. It seemed as if there were sections of the house that were newer than others, but all was in good shape, especially based on the overall age of several original cottages in that area. We were a bit apprehensive at first, due to the recent scathing review, another couple gave this house. When I called Dana, she had not seen it.
When we arrived, Dana's Husband was there to greet us, and gave us answers to anything we asked about. The house was amazingly clean. I can clearly say, we were able to utilize everything the house had to offer, except the oven and outdoor firepit, with no issues.
My one issue is not with the house, but with HomeAway : I initially entered my email incorrectly, with a ".cm" instead of " .com" and received no notices. I submitted requests for assistance, even with their parent company with no response. Luckily, I was able to call the overs directly. Don't venture away from HomeAway's happy path!
I am recommending this property to other friends in the Birmingham MI area as well. Definitely worth the stay, Thank you Dana!
Definitely a nice place to stay. Home was clean and provided enough space for a girls weekend. Owner provided information on various activities in and around Saugatuck. Besides shopping and walking around town, ate at many good restaurants - Butlers, Wallys, The Mermaid, and Monroes. Loved sitting on the deck and seeing the spectacular views.
The decor reminded me of a single male's first apartment. The bed linens including the bedskirt were all rumpled. We assumed the linens were clean. The curtain rod in the bedroom was broken. One of the couches had several small holes that might have been burn marks. The grass was at least eight inches tall and the water feature was incredibly dirty and filled with algae. The deck is nice but all the furniture was mildewed. Since we were only there for three days and were gone most of the time looking to buy property, I did not call the owner.
The house was clean but is very "tired" looking. The bed we slept in was comfortable.
Provisions were scant. A liquid bottle of hand soap at each sink and toilet paper. No bathing soap. No salt and pepper. Cleaning and washing soap were provided for the dishwasher and washing machine.
The next week we rented a darling house within walking distance to town (no water view) for less than 2/3 the price. It came fully equipped with all kinds of condiments and bath necessities and more.
I know the owner will reply that we had three dogs so I am letting you know, but I will also let you know that aside
from hair on the carpet in the living room, there was no evidence that any animals had been in the house, Our dogs
are well behaved. The nice green patch of lawn that you see in the picture is not public property.
My husband's comment about this review is that I am being generous.
Do we have to leave?! Dana was so great to work with and we are so happy we booked this rental! The location to downtown Saugatuck, shopping, restaurants, bars and beaches is unbeatable. The deck has gorgeous views overlooking Kalamazoo River. The house had everything needed to grill, cook and bake. On top of that, the beds were extremely comfortable and had plenty of additional linens and towels. We did need a few extra blankets and Dana arranged to drop some off immediately. The home also included a welcome book highlighting many local hot spots and attractions - gave us some great ideas of things to do and places to see. We can't thank you enough for letting us rent your home! Fantastic stay!
The location is very good. Short walk to downtown, and short drive to Oval Beach. The house is also facing the lake where you can see sunrise and sunset. The only thing laking in the house are good beds. My husband has neck pain from sleeping on the bed after 3 nights. Other than that, the house condition is clean and has okay amenities.
Saugatuck and Douglas are located among the towering white sand dunes on the shores of Lake Michigan and the Kalamazoo River. The area offers world-class beaches, boating, antiquing, golf, live theater, nightclubs, great restaurants, and a huge variety of art galleries and artists.

Rated 3.3 out of 5 by 508 reviewers.
Rated 3 out of 5 by JTK305 Disappointing I think my expectations were too high. I assumed this hotel would be a cut above some of the others but it wasn't. The faucets leaked, the bath tub surface was peeling, there wasn't a fan/working fan in the bathroom so the door has to stay open when you shower, the wait staff in the restaurant was terrible - very nice but so slow and extremely understaffed. According to the front desk the hotel was booked - Cowboys game that weekend, wedding reception or party, etc. - but yet there was only one bartender and one waiter. We waited 30 minutes for our waiter to return so we could pay our bill (apparently only your server can settle your bill). The nicest part of the hotel - all of the valets are prompt and very nice and you receive two bottles of complimentary water (room temperature however since there isn't a room fridge).

Rated 3 out of 5 by DG1974 Nice, but needs improvement The front desk staff were fantastic! The lobby is nice. The rooms need updating for sure. The bathroom is very small and the shower handle was loose and didn't work well. The room had a small TV that only one bed could see. Need Swivel mount. The doors are all painted metal doors. For $150+ I expected a nicer place. It was the only hotel in the area with rooms remaining so we took it. That did make me think though. December 16, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by bbbe This hotel has the most accomodating staff especially the wait staff in the restaurant at dinner time. Wait staff at night very accommodating. December 15, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by mwesty64 sleepless night called the reservation hotline on 12/05/13 to book a room in dallas fort worth for 12/06/13 and 12/07/13. the person i talked to on the hotline booked the room in arlington sheraton even after i confirmed with that person that the event was at the convention center across the street at the DFW sheraton. the check in desk was at the DFW sheraton was helpful and accommodating while the reservation issue was resolved. the hotline person i spoke with when trying to resolve the booking issue initially told me that i would need to pay a cancellation fee. after talking to them for a while and explaining the situation the cancellation fee was waved. the disabled person that was traveling with me had a very difficult time moving on the unshoveled and icy sidewalk at the hotel. the hotel room we requested to be handicap accessible did not have a microwave or mini fridge and the wallpaper was peeling in a corner of the room. the handicap shower did not keep the rest of the bathroom dry so we had to use towels from the pool to soak up the water in the bathroom. the second night at the hotel we come back late from the convention center and the pool area was closed already. the disabled person traveling with me really needed to spend some well deserved time in the hottub. i asked the staff if they could accommodate him and they refused. also the second night of our stay there was a fire alarm with strobing lights that went off. i immediately called the front desk to see what was going on and they told me to evacuate the building. i told the front desk that i needed assistance with the disabled person i was traveling with. the person the hotel sent us was not sure how to evacuate a person in a wheelchair. that person eventually told us to go down the elevator. i did not argue with him. when we reached the ground level the front desk area was crowded with people standing around while the fire alarm was going off. after about three to five minutes standing around the front desk area staff walked through and told us that is was a false alarm and we could return to our rooms. after we returned to our rooms i waited for an hour for the strobing lights to turn off. i called the front desk and they told me that the strobing lights could not be turned off. the disabled person traveling with me suffers from seizures and could not fall asleep at all that night because the strobing lights never got turned off. the whole experience for me personally was just terrible and i can not even begin to describe how the disabled person i was traveling with must have felt after a sleepless exhausting night and not even being able to relax in the hot tube to relax his body. i am especially disappointed that after the experience we had that i was charged full price for our stay. when i asked the front desk if there was somebody i could talk to about out stay the told me that their manager was in a meeting and was unavailable. i left my name and number for the manager to call me after i left and never heard from the manager or the hotel staff. i believe that a refund for my stay is not unacceptable to ask for. if the disabled person i was traveling with had gone into a full blown seizure because of the strobing lights being on all night long we would have had to go to another hotel or even the hospital to have him treated and most like have missed the event we came all the way from iowa to attend. i implore you to carefully review how your hotel in DFW was rated for the weekend of 12/06/13 and give refunds to all people staying there that weekend.

Rated 4 out of 5 by AMH1447 Extremely helpful staff and management Found myself somewhat 'without a home' in Dallas as a result of the recent winter storm due to client office being closed. Hotel staff were very accommodating in providing me facilities during the business day, and manager was very helpful in offering me accommodation options if I was to be stranded overnight. Very professional, courteous, accommodating and friendly staff at all levels! December 9, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by Docblue453 UNWANTED SIGHT I checked into the hotel and was given my room key. Upon entering my room I found a man changing his clothes in the room. He stated that he had just checked into the room 30 minutes prior. When going back to the fron desk, the staff acted like it was no big deal and just gave me another room. I feel this shows very unrprofession behavior . December 3, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by Cecaegis Disappointment Besides the ridiculous charges of $15 per day to self-park, I came back to my room only to find the door propped wide open by the swing lock. My room was unsecured for who knows how long by housekeeping. The room was made-up, but all of my belongings were exposed to anyone who wished to steal them. December 3, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by TxFire452 Great Hotel - My First Time There I really enjoyed my stay at the Fort Worth downtown hotel. The hotel was clean and the service was great. I would definitely recommend and will be staying here next year. I have several colleagues who will be changing to this hotel next year. December 3, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by vacationsR1 Parking is a real issue The parking is a real problem. We were backed up into the street trying to get in around checkin time. We had to go into the hotel to find someone to help us with our luggage. The valet parking might not have been so backed up had there been bellmen outside ready to help those who needed it.

Rated 2 out of 5 by leonid Room needs refresh... outlet in bathroom is falling out of wall and desk looks like someone was using it as a base for a hotplate and cooking up fried bologna sandswiches. Also - microwave was setting on top of minifridge - whichsat on floor. Just like a dorm room vs a room at the FtW Downtown Sheraton hotel/spa. did not knck us out... November 30, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by unhappy629 Not Happy I stayed at this hotel because it was sponsoring the EMS conference. I had to change rooms do to the fact one of the beds had stains and hair still in it?! The toilet in the 2nd room was having issues and both rooms had terribly stained carpet and walls. I would have never guessed a Sheraton to be this bad? November 29, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by PDG13 Fort Worth Worse Starwoods experience the hotel is old, tired and lacks amenities. Staff was friendly and attentive, but would not stay here again. AC noisy, rugs stained, BR fixtures nasty. November 29, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by REC76 Staff could care less Check in was easy, Check out was a fiasco. This was a work trip booked through the office and at check out they charged it all to my card left for incidentals. This was a nightmare to fix due to the day before thanksgiving and the staff person at the office that was needed had already left for vacation. The staff could have cared less. I guess they don't do govt conferences very often. I finally got things fixed after having to miss one of my classes to handle it. The room was nice but the bed skirts and comforter were stained and had not been replaced even after a note was left. I bought sheets on my own. The wifi is so slow all the time I just turned it off they have not put any money into this and it shows. Even e-mail was painfully slow. I don't see how people get any work done while staying here. Unless your sitting at the bar don't expect any assistance from the staff. Your better off helping your self and they don't mind one bit. They will not be ready or be prepared when they are suppose to be open so take your time. For the price your better off looking at other options in the area. This is sad because I have stayed here in years past and had great service. Will remove from the list of hotels at the office November 28, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by FCBrad Great Staff During a recent stay I was met by a wonderful staff who made me feel welcome. The hotel is obvious very old building. It could really use some work, but was very clean and great location. November 25, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by leonid not exactly impressed Not recognized as SPG member when checking in, room ok, but has old.feel and carpet isn't laid flat. And guess what they want to charge you for parking...oh my! November 21, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by jnkchinn need help Doesn't inform you when you checked in at the front desk Our feet were dirty. It was the carpet in our room. Hadn't been cleaned in a while. Our room was not made up until 5:00pm They didn't have enough help. We where on the club level. They didn't serve wine on weekends and food was horrible . They didn't have enough food. Teenagers ate it all. November 18, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by LoneStarLad Needs Attention to Return to SPG Standards Sadly, very disappointing. Before I begin, let me say the front desk staff was very kind and helpful & helped to balance the negatives of the facility. Upon check in, I was given a third floor room with a view to a wall & air conditioning units through two small windows. Hardly what an SPG member would expect. I am not a room snob, but this was really disappointing and claustrophobic. Then, I was offered a room on the eighth floor. This was better except I couldnt get into the room. The key card wouldn't work after 3x to the front desk trying to get it re-programmed. The maintenance man who came was very friendly and changed the batteries in the lock. I finally got settled after an hour from the time of arrival. The toilet seat was loose and TP holder hanging from the wall. Surprisinglly no seat cover which made a great target for a towel which fell from the towel rack into the water. The toilet placement near the door was so tight one could not even use the facility without turning to the side. Perhaps this is why the toilet seat was loose from the previous guest? On the first day, the room never got made up and I had left at 0800a and returned at 515p. The next day it was freshened but no new coffee replacements left on this or any subsequent refresh of the room. No refrigerator or mini-bar. Plastic cups wrapped i plastic? Scratched and chipped furniture? No waste basket in the main room, only in the bathroom. WiFi did work fine. All these items would remind me of lesser level brands. Not Starwood brands. The final insult to injury was the convention group of screaming giggling 11-15 year old girls swarming the hotel Friday and Saturday. The adjoining room had such occupants and made it near impossible to concentrate on doing work emails. I even checked if I could checkout one night early and leave Saturday night instead of having to stay until Sunday morning but was unable with the airlines. Sorry for all the negativity in this review but it's what I observed and experienced. Will I stay at Starwood again, of course I will. But not this location again. Again, the staff were the hotel's strongest asset with their kindness & trying to make things better. This you cannot replace. Facilities you can and must improve. November 18, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by Ashley1187 Terrible Customer Service Half of our group arrived at the hotel mid afternoon, and were greeted promptly & with great customer service. However, myself and another guest room checked in around 10pm. We were told there was no room for us, due to over booking. The hotel was not willing to work with moving our entire group to keep us together for convenience. Aside from being upset, we complied & stayed at a hotel down the street for a night. We were guaranteed from the manager that when we were to arrive back at the hotel the following morning for the remainder of our stay that our rooms would be ready, immediately. However, we arrived at the hotel and were instructed to wait over an hour & a half for our rooms. There was many many broken promises, terrible customer service, and overall we did not like our stay at the Sheraton Ft. Worth. I was not referred to as a Starwood Member. I will never be staying at this hotel again, and I will suggest to all friends and family the same. November 18, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by cgbsae Old This hotel needs upgrades. My room's sink didn't drain well...filled up and pooled while I brushed my teeth. Gross. It also seemed like furniture was missing. There was a giant blank spot along the wall...seemed odd. The common areas of the hotels were nice, though, and the staff was very friendly. November 13, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Mike Great hotel close to TCU. My daughter is applying to TCU and we went there for an introduction day and found this fantastic Starwood property nearby. I know that if my daughter ends up at TCU that we will return to this hotel frequently. The staff were super friendly and helpful as well as being very responsive to requests. November 12, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by winning Sorry, no recommendation from me Most Starwood properties are wonderful. Unfortunately, this Sheraton hotel in Ft. Worth to me missed the mark. Although I booked very early in the year, I did not get a king bed nor a room on the club level floor as requested, the bed lights and clock did not work, the bathroom was very cramped. November 11, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by SteveP1 Not Handicapepd Friendly Very disappointed when there was no handicapped parking nor a handicapped entrance to the parking lot which is located across the street behind the hotel. If you di dnot want to use the stairs, you had to go around the block to the front entrance. Parking is not included in the price. I ended up paying th $22 for th valet parking. November 11, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by RJ56 Worst SPG Experience Numerous problems with my room and little responsiveness from hotel staff. Dirty tub, broken and missing fixtures/amenities, 5pm maid service, etc. I asked to speak with manager. No response. November 10, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by TCUVisitor2015 Avoid Valet Parking Here! The Hotel is convenient, clean and staff is friendly, but their valet parking is a $22/ per night nightmare and typically total chaos. We have stayed here several times and it is always a problem. We now utilize the street parking as a better alternative. They can take 20-30 mins to get your car (while you are standing there); However this past weekend, we parked on the street and were charged for two nights! We fixed it before leaving; but were then charged anyway. When we called to fix - we were told to discuss with the valet attendant. OMG! So park yourself, watch your bill, and just avoid valet parking. November 10, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by capecod Another Terrible Stay This place is still the worst in the fleet. I needed a few more nights to hit my 75, and this was the only place close by. Glad that is behind me, never again! November 9, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by Dealynn Hotel is adequate Hotel is adequate. Staff is cordial and helpful. Although I asked for a ride to an office on Cherry St. which is fairly close to the hotel and no one seemed to have ever heard of the street! in fact, the bellman got lost on the way over - and wasn't even going in the direction of downtown as we left the hotel! this was just surprising to me. luckily I had my GPS w\me otherwise we wouldn't have found the place! It would have been nice to have a mini-bar in the room! I requested an upgrade online & it was never registered on my account. Didn't realize until after we checked into our room that we did not get the upgrade, but decided to just stay where we were. I'm not sure that there was any recognition from the staff that I was an SPG preferred member. Other locations usually ask if you want to check to see if you are eligible for a free upgrade. That would've been nice. November 8, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by ChestertheChicken NOV 5-6 2013 Very enjoyable stay. Staff were friendly, helpful and courteous. Room was clean and comfortable. I did not partake, but I was glad to see a store in the hotel and a spa. November 8, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by TCUVisitor2015 Another Day, Another Hotel Overall, our Sheraton stay was average. We stay at this Sheraton regularly due to convenient location to TCU. We are SPG Gold status and I would say this is the least SPG recognition we had. Everyone was nice, but just disengaged. Each morning we had to request our breakfast vouchers, we weren't recognized as being a SPG member, and the club lounge no longer served evening beverages (without notice) and 2 misc charges on my bill. Nothing bad, but nothing outstanding. November 5, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by capecod This hotel is old and dingy This hotel is in serious need of updates: -Rooms old and dingy -In wall air/heat makes noise all night -Can hear toilet flushing in room next door, no insulation -Workout facility is pretty weak, for a place that has 'spa' in its name -Only staying here for a few nights to achieve award level for the year -- otherwise, would not be staying....

Parking the car and walking, Brugge
12 Reviews
12 Reviews
From Mons we drove by car and it took an hour or an hour and a half--we had so much fun on the way I'm not sure how long it took, but I'd say probably at least an hour's drive from Brussels.
The train station is located very near and might be most convenient if you are coming from Brussels.
Cars are not to be found in this area so walking or riding a bike--which might be uncomfortable on the cobbled streets--seem to be the most efficient way of getting around.
We got around by foot. We parked the car and walked everywhere. As a small and charming city, is the best way of seeing everything--at least in and around the town center. Though at the time I walked with a cane, walking around the streets of Bruges seemed not to be stressful for me at all.
Brugge is about an hour from Brussels, but finding a parking spot can be difficult. The city is very popular, and the main parking lot at the edge of the city (which offers bus rides to the center) might be full, as it was in our case. There is a parking lot underground at the end of 'T Pandreitje street a block from the very center of the city.
Driving is not the best way to see the city. There are a lot of pedestrians, one-way winding streets, bicycles, etc. Try to park and walk around, or supplement walking by a boat or carriage tour.
The day we went to Brugge, there was a carnival in town and it was a beautiful, sunny day, so parking was at a premium. We were lucky that we found a spot within walking distance of the Centrum. We paid a flat fee for the day. I couldn't believe how many people chose to drive through the city in their cars. It was so conjested and they really didn't get very far. We did much better by foot so the moral of the story is PARK THE CAR AND WALK.
Brugge makes coming by car an attractive option. Parking your car in the garage at the railway station is not only relatively cheap (we paid 2 euros for three hours), you also can take the bus to the centre for free. Show your parking ticket at the office of De Lijn (the buscompany) at the front of the station and you'll get a free ticket for driver and passengers. It's a nice extra. You might however just as well walk because the centre is nearby.
There are other options to park your car, but I can hardly imagine those being as cheap as this one.
I tend to prefer the underground car park near to the centre of Brugge. I beleive it is on Hoefijzerlaan and you access it when in a tunnel.
I think if you follow signs for the centre and the train station that you should find it.
Prices are relatively cheap and payment can be made in cash or by card.
YOU CAN RENT A BIKE AS YOU CAN SEE IN THE PREVIOUS tip BUT....YES, ALSO scooters.
ENLARGE PHOTO and read......
A scooter will enhance your RADIUS OF ACTION considerably!

Parking and traffic in Brugge
During the past few years traffic pressure in the historic inner city has been gradually reduced so as to preserve its unique heritage for locals and visitors alike.Traffic is funneled into five main one way arteries starting and exiting on the ring road.
Arriving by car, you will be able to use one of the five underground parkings (3.675 pl.) in the inner city or one of the parking lots alongside the ring road from where you will quickly reach downtown, walking or using one of the frequently operated bus lines.Cycling, too, is a most enjoyable way to get around in Bruges: cyclists are allowed to ride in both directions in more than 50 one way streets.
Finally, when arriving by train, the Tourist Office near the main exit of the railway station is at your service for tourist information and hotel bookings.The traffic circulation plan applied today in Bruges was designed to reduce traffic pressure in the inner city, so as to preserve the unique heritage you've come to enjoy.
Coaches are only allowed into the inner city only to drive clients to their hotel(s) and to pick them up again. Exceptions to this rule are within the exclusive competence of the local police authorities (Hauwerstraat 3, tel. 32(0)50/448844).
Coach drivers are offered free parking space at the 'Katelijnebrug'-coach park (map: F14) with a total capacity of 140 coaches, and facilities such as toilets and telephone. Frequent city bus services are operated between coach park and city centre.
For other special facilities (a/o. emptying of coach toilets) adequate services are proposed by 'Eltebe' (Lieven Bauwensstraat 41, 8200 St.-Andries, tel. 32(0)50/32.01.11, fax 31.32.65).
Finally, the coach park is an ideal departure point for city walks with local guides
There are quite a few (underground) parking lots in Bruges (EUR9 for a whole day), but many streets are oneway, not to mention the cul-de-sacs. So if you really want to go by car, park it at the railway station and take a bus to 't Zand.
In Bruges, the best way to explore the city is on foot.
We have been there by car and it was no problem to find a parking there. In the city center you have to pay the parking, but a bit more to the ring there are a lot of free parking capacities.....
By foot. We found Brugge bigger than we thought, but I still think that this is the best way to explore the town. Another good idea might be to rent a bike!!!
There are boat and horse carriage tours available too.
By train, or by car but then you should park your car near the train station in the underground parking place. If you show your ticket (2.5 euro/day) you can go by bus for free (to the centre).
By foot!!! Walk walk walk!
Under the park Koningin Astrid there's a parking called Pandreitje. Parking cost (in 2003) € 1,20 per hour with a max of € 20 per 24 hrs. You're close to the center and pedestrian area.
Well that's what we did! Uncle Farid parked the car at the free parking space near the train station, and we walked around the town. Satisfaction guaranteed!

City Could Ban Horse-Drawn Carriages as Soon as May 2016
New details are leaking out about the rumored bill to ban carriage horses in Central Park. According to an advocate who has communicated with the mayor's administration throughout the drafting process, the bill will be introduced as soon as Monday by City Councilmember Daniel Dromm. It will propose sunsetting horse-drawn carriages by May 31, 2016, when the last of the carriage operator licenses are set to expire. (A spokeswoman for the councilman confirmed the report to the Voice.)

Volunteer firefighters rescued four pets from a house fire in the 700 block of Mulligan Lane in Westminster Monday.
Emergency crews responded to the incident at 12:20 p.m. and had the fire under control by 1:06 p.m. Monday, according to a press release. Crews found smoke coming from the rear of the house and moved throughout the structure controlling the burn.
The preliminary estimate of damage to the building and its contents is $80,000. The fire remains under investigation by the Maryland State Fire Marshal's office.

Computing weighted solutions in ASP: representation-based method vs. search-based method

For some problems with too many solutions, one way to obtain the more desirable solutions is to assign each solution a weight that characterizes its importance quantitatively, and then compute the solutions whose weights are over (resp. below) a given threshold. This paper studies computing weighted solutions for a given computational problem, in the context of Answer Set Programming (ASP). In particular, we investigate two sorts of methods for computing weighted solutions: one method suggests modifying the ASP representation of the problem to compute weighted solutions using an existing ASP solver and the other suggests modifying the search algorithm of the answer set solver to compute weighted solutions incrementally. The applicability of these methods are shown on two sorts of problems: reconstructing weighted phylogenies (for Indo-European languages and for Quercus species) and finding weighted plans (for Blocks World planning problems). In the experiments with the representation-based method, the answer set solver clasp is used and weight functions are represented in ASP. For the search-based method, the algorithm of clasp is modified (the modified solver is called clasp-w) and weight functions are implemented in C+ +. For phylogenies, two weight functions are introduced by incorporating domain-specific information about groupings of species; one of them cannot be represented in ASP due to some mathematical functions not supported by the ASP solvers. For plans, we define a weight function that characterizes the total cost of executing actions in a plan. In these experiments the following are observed. With weight measures that can be represented in ASP, the search-based method outperforms the representation-based method in terms of computational efficiency (both time and space). With weight functions that cannot be represented in ASP, the search-based method provides a tool for computing weighted solutions in ASP. The search-based method can be applied to different domains, without modifying the algorithm of clasp-w; in that sense, the search-based method is modular and can be useful to other ASP applications. With either method, plausible phylogenies among many can be found without computing all phylogenies and requiring historical linguists to go over them manually, and less costly plans can be found without computing all plans; in that sense, our methods contribute to phylogenetics and AI planning studies as well.
