Iron CyclesRead MoreThe exposed-brick walls of Iron Cycles speak to the straightforwardness of its employees, who prefer to focus on riding, not attitude. This judgment-free approach leads to unbiased treatment for every cycle. The staffers treat well-worn heirlooms with the same degree of care and dignity as they do snazzy titanium builds or a custom-crafted commuter. Perhaps their respect for bike diversity stems in part from their disparate cycling backgrounds: founder Brandon is an off-road racer, Ben was a bike messenger, and Steve has more than 25 years of both pedaling and mechanic experience. Regardless of the bike brand or model, each of the shop's services adheres to the mission of safer, savvier trips. Repairs address basic adjustments as well as complete overhauls, furnishing customers with new saddles, kickstands, and even handmade tires imported from overseas. The staffers oversee fitting sessions that fine-tune parts to suit the bike's function and the owner's body type. They can also build custom cycles that correspond to clients' goals, whether they want a frame that can hit high speeds or wheels that can store several decks of playing cards at once.3136 W. Montrose Ave.Chicago, IL US
Kayak MorrisRead MoreJan?e Matteson is a little wary of technology. The more ubiquitous it becomes, she finds, it has more potential to keep kids indoors (a trend she has dubbed ?acute nature deficit disorder?). Jan?e, whose family?s roots have been growing in Morris for nearly 200 years, basically spent her entire childhood outside, learning fur trapping and duck hunting with her father on the banks of the Illinois River. So in addition to her deep passion for the outdoors, founding Kayak Morris was largely inspired by doing whatever she could to help kids, their families, and domesticated teddy bears spend more time in nature. Kayak Morris offers kayak and canoe lessons, and in addition, patrons can borrow their largely new fleet for leisurely trips along the Illinois River, Mazon River, or Illinois and Michigan Canal, which are home to wildlife such as great-blue herons, bald eagles, coyotes and red-tailed hawks. The staff also lead guided ecotours, which teach kids and adults about natural resources and what they can do to preserve and protect them for future generations. Family-focused private campgrounds is adjacent to the State Park along the rivers? sandy shores invite groups to stay for monthly Glampouts (glamorous campouts) and spend their days taking advantage of potluck dinners, hiking, fishing, bike rentals, or guided kayak tours and to spend their nights watching a movie on Morris? outdoor projection screen as campfires crackle nearby.15 Spinning Wheel RoadHinsdale, IL US
Cycles-n-SportsRead MoreSince taking off the training wheels in 1972, Cycles N Sports has been a full-service bike shop, wrenching two-wheel wisdom into each bike it sells and service it renders. A staff of riding enthusiasts helps customers navigate the shop's inventory, comprising spoked specimens from such major brands as Electra, Townie, Felt, Giant, Fly, and Stolen, as well as many specialty models. Whether you arrive looking for a bike or parts for a BMX bike, road bike, mountain bike, or the makeshift ramp from the roof of your house, the staff can happily assist and answer questions.6559 W 111th St.Worth, IL US
Upgrade Cycle WorksRead MoreIn a shop lined with more than 100 bikes models from all around the world, Upgrade Cycle Works' pro mechanics channel their love of cycling whether they are aligning the frame on an old single speed or fitting guests for a brand new road bike. During the fit process, staffers employ the same computerized system used at the Olympic training center as opposed to tracing your body outline on a large piece of construction paper. Next, they'll help guests choose from bike brands such as Felt, Masi, and Raleigh, and an in-store selection of rides that includes road bikes, single speeds, and hybrids. In Upgrade's workshop, pro mechanics perform comprehensive tune-ups and repairs, revitalize faded paint jobs, replace punctured wheels, and align frames. The staff also hosts repair clinics to teach cyclists how to fix flat tires and adjust brakes.1130 West Chicago AvenueChicago, IL US
Bike and RollRead MoreWith a fleet of futuristic Segways and classic beach-cruiser bicycles, Bike and Roll Chicago outfits travelers with wheeled transportation to explore the city's paved surfaces. Tour guides lead groups through Millennium Park and along the lakefront to catch the skyline when illuminated by sunrises or backlit by one of Chicago's many moons. Misty Lake Michigan breezes ruffle riders' hair peeking through helmets as they pass by sailboats swaying lazily in the harbors and fishermen casting lines for trout and perch. Bike and Roll Chicago designs routes around classic architectural landmarks such as the Shedd Aquarium and Field Museum as well as popular neighborhoods home to a number of restaurants and art festivals.1558 East 53rd StreetChicago, IL US
Bike and Roll ChicagoRead MoreBike and Roll Chicago's staff dispatches clients on wheel-based expeditions throughout Chicago. Guides—several of whom are Chicagoland natives—can lead informative and entertaining tours in Spanish, Mandarin Chinese, and semaphores.239 E Randolph St.Chicago, IL US

When people talk about the dirtiest players in the NFL, Steelers receiver Hines Ward is usually somewhere in the conversation. This might be one reason why. As is Pittsburgh linebacker James Harrison -- who can't seem to go more than a dozen games without some kind of big fine because of an illegal hit.
So, for the Steelers to accuse another team of playing dirty, it's akin to William Henry Harrison admonishing you for not wearing a coat when it's cold and rainy outside (what? too soon?).
But dirty is exactly how Pittsburgh believes the Ravens played last Sunday during Baltimore's four-touchdown embarrassment of the Steelers. And they point to the Ravens offensive linemen as the main culprits.
"You can get hurt from an illegal chop block, but I guess it isn't an illegal chop block if they don't call it," nose tackle Casey Hampton said, via the Pittsburgh Tribune Review.
Added nose tackle Chris Hoke: "Some of the things they were doing were questionable rules-wise and dangerous."
In particular, Hampton pointed at Baltimore guard Marshal Yanda as one who continuously tried to cut-block Hampton. That includes the first play of the game when Hampton said he was blatantly chopped by Yanda, which helped set up a 36-yard run by Ravens running back Ray Rice. In all, Hampton said his legs were targeted on Baltimore's first four running plays.
"There is really nothing you can do when you are engaged and fighting with a guy and they come chopping at your legs," Hampton said. "If it keeps happening, something is going to have to happen. I can't keep getting chopped up like that when I am engaged."
Yet, the Steelers go on to admit that they have plays in their offensive arsenal in which part of the goal is to cut at an opponent's legs. "Not to the extent that (the Ravens) did," Pittsburgh defensive end Aaron Smith said.
Obviously, cut-blocking is dangerous and somewhat cowardly. But this is not a new problem. As the Steelers say, every team does it (I remember that the Broncos offensive line for years was accused of dirty play and cut-blocks). That doesn't make it right, obviously. But you can't be vigorously against cut-blocking when it's targeting you and be totally cool with it when you use it against an opponent.
Otherwise, your claims of the other team being dirty don't make very much sense. And don't elicit much sympathy.

Steelers accuse Ravens of playing dirty
The Steelers complaining about dirty play? Now that's funny! The dirtiest team in football is whining. Harrison and Ward are two of the dirtiest players, EVER! It always comes back to bite you. This game has always been about cut blocking, and blocking someone when they are not looking, aka Ward. It was so funny when Ward got his clock cleaned when HE wasnn't looking.
There are all kinds of penalties that are not called, in EVERY game.
There's no crying in football!

Steelers accuse Ravens of playing dirty
Every team cut blocks. It's a part of the game and it isn't effective every time. Every team does it, and for any team to accuse another of being dirty for doing it is hypocrisy. Chop blocking is against the rules, and the Ravens did not do it this weekend.

Steelers accuse Ravens of playing dirty
I listened to the entire interview on sports talk radio while in my car in Pittsburgh. The local interviewer told Casey Hampton that "players" informed him he was being chop blocked all game. Hampton kept trying to downplay it and the interviewer kept asking about it, which is where this joke of a journalist got some of his quotes. The quotes he didn't include in this story, however, were, "It wasn't a dirty play." "We're not worried about it." "It's football, man." Those are just a few that stick out from memory. So somehow this "writer" finds a player who says it wasn't dirty, and writes an article with the headline "Steelers Accuse Ravens of Being Dirty." This is why America sucks. All the news and media does is lie and twist things to get viewers and make a profit, while we continue to elect people based on lies and misrepresentations of truth. Absolutley pathetic and disgraceful!

Bobbi Brown was back in Atlanta today after a weekend concert he did out of town, to reunite with the Browns and Houstons as they stand vigil over Bobbi Kristina who is in end stage hospice care. Meanwhile, Nick Gordon is drinking in Florida while his attorney empanels a legal team to fight his upcoming legal battles. The same day that Bobbi Kristina was moved into the hospice facility, Krissi's conservator filed a civil lawsuit on her behalf against Nick Gordon claiming that Nick was physically abusive to Bobbi and asking for more than $40 million in damages. Interestingly, that award would ultimately most likely go to Bobby Brown as Krissi's next of kin.
But today, Nick's attorney added some new people to the team that make me feel like he knows that criminal charges either have or are about to be filed against Nick. Namely the hiring of Jose Baez. Continue reading

Nuclear Regulation:
NRC's Liability Insurance Requirements for Nuclear Power Plants Owned by Limited Liability Companies

An accident at one the nation's commercial nuclear power plants could result in human health and environmental damages. To ensure that funds would be available to settle liability claims in such cases, the Price-Anderson Act requires licensees for these plants to have primary insurance--currently $300 million per site. The act also requires secondary coverage in the form of retrospective premiums to be contributed by all licensees to cover claims that exceed primary insurance. If these premiums are needed, each licensee's payments are limited to $10 million per year and $95.8 million in total for each of its plants. In recent years, limited liability companies have increasingly become licensees of nuclear power plants, raising concerns about whether these companies--by shielding their parent corporations' assets--will have the financial resources to pay their retrospective premiums. GAO was asked to determine (1) the extent to which limited liability companies are the licensees for U.S. commercial nuclear power plants, (2) the Nuclear Regulatory Commission's (NRC) requirements and procedures for ensuring that licensees of nuclear power plants comply with the Price-Anderson Act's liability requirements, and (3) whether and how these procedures differ for licensees that are limited liability companies.
Of the 103 operating nuclear power plants, 31 are owned by 11 limited liability companies. Three energy corporations--Exelon, Entergy, and the Constellation Energy Group--are the parent companies for eight of these limited liability companies. These 8 subsidiaries are the licensees or colicensees for 27 of the 31 plants. NRC requires all licensees for nuclear power plants to show proof that they have the primary and secondary insurance coverage mandated by the Price-Anderson Act. Licensees obtain their primary insurance through American Nuclear Insurers. Licensees also sign an agreement with NRC to keep the insurance in effect. American Nuclear Insurers also has a contractual agreement with each of the licensees to collect the retrospective premiums if these payments become necessary. A certified copy of this agreement, which is called a bond for payment of retrospective premiums, is provided to NRC as proof of secondary insurance. It obligates the licensee to pay the retrospective premiums to American Nuclear Insurers. NRC does not treat limited liability companies differently than other licensees with respect to the Price-Anderson Act's insurance requirements. Like other licensees, limited liability companies must show proof of both primary and secondary insurance coverage. American Nuclear Insurers also requires limited liability companies to provide a letter of guarantee from their parent or other affiliated companies with sufficient assets to pay the retrospective premiums. These letters state that the parent or affiliated companies are responsible for paying the retrospective premiums if the limited liability company does not. American Nuclear Insurers informs NRC it has received these letters. In light of the increasing number of plants owned by limited liability companies, NRC is studying its existing regulations and expects to report on its findings by the end of summer 2004. In commenting on a draft of this report, NRC stated that it accurately reflects the present insurance system for nuclear power plants.

Sandia rotor innovation activities are directed primarily toward two approaches
1) Quantitative evaluation and reporting of rotor innovation concepts using numerical studies. Examples include the Sandia 100m blade design progression and the Sandia investigation of the effects of increasing maximum tip velocity on optimum rotor designs. Complete and accurate numerical design methods are critical to our work in this area. Projects result in public, detailed models and tools that are beneficial to the entire wind energy research community.
2) Design and field test of rotor hardware for validation of rotor innovation concepts or hardware created to support goals of larger experimental campaigns, such as the DOE Atmosphere-to-electrons (A2e) Initiative. Work in this area leads to public field test data which is used to improve important simulation and analysis tools, enabling effective evaluation of future innovations.

Bret Easton Ellis slams David Foster Wallace on Twitter(Read article summary)
A decades-long literary feud rears its head again as Bret Easton Ellis uses a new bio of David Foster Wallace as an excuse for trash-talking.
Luca Bruno/AP
Think David Foster Wallace is untouchable?
Think again. ŌĆ£American PsychoŌĆØ author Bret Easton Ellis tore into the late author of the critically acclaimed ŌĆ£Infinite JestŌĆØ and ŌĆ£The Pale KingŌĆØ on Twitter last week, and in true Ellis fashion, he didnŌĆÖt hold back.
ŌĆ£Reading D.T. MaxŌĆÖs bio I continue to find David Foster Wallace the most tedious, overrated, tortured, pretentious writer of my generation,ŌĆØ Ellis tweeted. ŌĆ£David Foster Wallace was so needy, so conservative, so in need of fans ŌĆō that I find the halo of sentimentality surrounding him embarrassing.ŌĆØ In several more tweets, he continued, ŌĆ£DFW is the best example of a contemporary male writer lusting for a kind of awful greatness that he simply wasnŌĆÖt able to achieve. A fraud.ŌĆØ
EllisŌĆÖs comments came on the heels of a new biography of the late author, D.T. MaxŌĆÖs ŌĆ£Every Love Story is a Ghost Story: A Life of David Foster Wallace.ŌĆØ (See our review of the biography here.)
In the midst of reading the bio of Wallace, who took his own life in 2008 after a lifelong battle with depression, Ellis told his 300,000 Twitter followers, ŌĆ£OMG is the solemnity of the David Foster Wallace myth on a purely literary level sickening.ŌĆØ
He then turned his attention to DFW fans, saying: "Saint David Foster Wallace: a generation trying to read him feels smart about themselves which is part of the whole bullsh** package. Fools.ŌĆØ
Who does Ellis think he is ŌĆ£being exceptionally hostile and ungenerous toward a tragically tormented writer who, having hanged himself, is in no position to defend himself,ŌĆØ writes Salon.comŌĆÖs Gerald Howard (who, incidentally, edited both Ellis and Wallace when they were starting out).
For starters, anyone familiar with Ellis knows heŌĆÖs no stranger to the shock-and-awe method of courting controversy.
He is, after all, the guy who in 2010 suggested women are inherently ill-equipped for directing movies. The guy who just last month declared Matt Bomer unfit for playing the title role of Christian Grey in the film adaption of ŌĆ£50 Shades of Grey,ŌĆØ because he is gay. And the guy who, hours after J.D. Salinger died, tweeted, ŌĆ£Yeah! Thank God heŌĆÖs finally dead. IŌĆÖve been waiting for this day for-****ing ever. Party tonight!ŌĆØ
But thereŌĆÖs more here than meets the eye. Ellis and Wallace are literary rivals that go way back, and EllisŌĆÖs hostile tweets are just the latest in a two-decades-old exchange of literary beef.
In 1988, Wallace criticized EllisŌĆÖs first published essay, calling Ellis and his category of novelists ŌĆ£CatatonicsŌĆØ for their ŌĆ£na├»ve pretension,ŌĆØ according to Slate. ŌĆ£WallaceŌĆÖs argument, characteristically, defies easy summary,ŌĆØ SlateŌĆÖs Forrest Wickman writes, ŌĆ£ŌĆ"but, in the context of literary critical essay,ŌĆØ is damning.
A few years later, Wallace laid into ŌĆ£American PsychoŌĆØ in an interview with Larry McCaffery, saying it ŌĆ£panders shamelessly to the audienceŌĆÖs sadism for a while, but by the end itŌĆÖs clear that the sadismŌĆÖs real object is the reader itselfŌĆ"You can defend ŌĆśPsychoŌĆÖ as being a sort of performative digest of late-eighties social problems, but itŌĆÖs no more than that.ŌĆØ
ŌĆ£Alternating between PR stunt, outright bullying, vigorous intellectual debate, and exercise in ego-bashing and boosting, literary feuds are nothing if not pure bibliophilic entertainment,ŌĆØ we once wrote in a post on Paulo CoelhoŌĆÖs attack on James JoyceŌĆÖs ŌĆ£Ulysses,ŌĆØ calling the feuds ŌĆ£as old as literature itself.ŌĆØ
Perhaps, but weŌĆÖre more inclined to heed the reasoning of The GuardianŌĆÖs Barbara Ellen.
ŌĆ£It could be that theyŌĆÖre feeling a bit bored, their lives and careers arenŌĆÖt as exciting as they once were,ŌĆØ she writes, ŌĆ£the coffee is cold, the croissant not delicious enough, and mischievous people are encouraging them, telling them that their bratty behavior and ill-thought-out rantings are 'a breath of fresh air!'ŌĆØ
ŌĆ£They mouth, off, in the process,ŌĆØ she continues, ŌĆ£making themselves look ridiculous and just a tad obsessed with their targets.ŌĆØ
We couldnŌĆÖt have said it better ourselves.

Kings vs. Sharks Game 6 Pick
- Updated: May 26, 2013
Matchup: Los Angeles Kings vs. San Jose Sharks
Date/Time: May 26th, 8:00 p.m. ET
Television: NBC
NHL Betting Odds from BetOnline Sportsbook
Moneyline: Sharks -125
Total: 4.5
The Pacific Division has given us a few great teams this year in the playoffs, and fantastic series have ensued as a result. Now, the last two teams standing from this division, the San Jose Sharks and the Los Angeles Kings will meet on Sunday night in what could be one of the best games of the postseason.
Los Angeles has probably been the slightly better of the two teams in this series. G Jonathan Quick came up with his second shutout against the Sharks in Game 5, though he did get a heck of a lot of help from his teammates. Not only did the Kings supply three goals (though the last of the bunch was an empty netter), but they also kept him relatively clean, holding San Jose to just 11 shots in the first two periods of play combined. We have seen the defenders for the Kings do this time and time again versus some of the best teams in the Western Conference, and this is no exception whatsoever. Keep a very close eye on C Anze Kopitar. This is the man that is the key to the Los Angeles offense. This unit can be very good without him. It can be elite with him. Kopitar only put up four points in his first nine playoff games, and he went four straight games without a point and six straight without a goal. He now has two points and is a +2 in the last two games, and he scored what proved to be the game winning goal on Thursday night.
San Jose has to be scratching its head, but at least it can draw some strength from some history. This series looks exactly like the series between the New York Rangers and the Washington Capitals earlier in the playoffs. The home team won the first six games of this series, but by and large, the Caps looked like the better of the two teams. Washington had home ice advantage on its side in Game 7, but it was beaten 5-0. However, the Sharks don't have a great playoff pedigree on their side, and they are used to bowing out of the second season right around this time. The sharpshooters for the team have to be better than they have been for the most part, and that means getting production from C Joe Pavelski. Pavelski has yet to score a goal in this series, and he was a -2 on Thursday for Game 5. That won't cut it for a team that has to have its top line doing a lot of damage due to the fact that the third and fourth lines really haven't done all that much great work in these playoffs.
Though we do think that this series deserves to go seven games, we don't think that it will. The Sharks look like they aren't the better of the two sides, and more often than not, we think that LA will take advantage of that and ultimately find a way to get the 'W'. San Jose can hold its head high for putting up a great fight against the defending Stanley Cup champs, but it just isn't going to matter come Sunday.
Los Angeles Kings @ San Jose Sharks Game 6 Pick: Los Angeles Kings +115

Rated 4 out of 5 by cgarcia This hotel has great service I enjoyed my stay, frnt office, and cleaning people were great...felt so safe in and outside of hotel September 5, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by ARIZ01 REBATE ON GREEN This is an amazing program. Used it at the bar and coffee shop. It was like getting $15 off my room rate. But I had to ask for more toiletries and coffee. Can these items be left at the door? September 5, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Happy812 Most comfortable bed The mattress and pillows were the best I have ever had in a hotel. Even beat my mattress at home. Pillows were terrific. September 5, 2012
Rated 3 out of 5 by Disappointed213 Terrible city view room I paid extra for a city view room, but was placed on the 10th floor of a 25 story facility. My view consisted of the bases of the skyscrapers and 1 lone neon sign. Yes, I had a view of the city. But a crappy one at best. Complaining seemed to do no good either. Staff apologized then just looked at me. No offers to try to accomodate me at all. I'll never stay here again nor recommend this hotel to anyone. September 2, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by Harvey Good hotel conference Ihotel met all of expectations and even exceeded them in every department except the conference food. I was disappointed and would rate the food as below average. September 1, 2012
Rated 3 out of 5 by JLXstitch This hotel lacks features We were very disappointed in the "free" wireless access in the lobby area. Very unreliable. We also spoke w/others who paid for wireless service in their room and they kept getting kicked off. I've stayed in hotels that were lower in cost and had better ammenities. August 31, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by Manny Room description Traveling with 2 young kids, location was very convenient. The room was clean and met our needs. August 30, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by boob noise family w/kids next door was too loud August 29, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by KatieH Great location and view Great view from the 25th floor, perfect location to everything in downtown Seattle -very impressed with our stay! August 29, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Seattle12 This hotel has great features My room was great, the beds were confortable, the room was clean and very organized. I almost wanted to just stay in the room and order movies... but the Space Needle was calling my name! Will stay at the Sheraton again. One bonus... the cost of my car to stay in the parking garage was less than the web information had suggested. August 28, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Celia12 This hotel has excellent mattresses Our experience at your hotel was excellent. I would have liked to have 2 comfortable chairs since there were 2 of us in the room, but I understand this was due to the fact that we had a king room instead of 2 double beds. The staff was friendly, courteous and did everything possible to meet our needs. August 28, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by lake Tim's Review One of my biggest pet peves is to walk into to what you think (by looking at the lobby) a room and the lamp shades are all crooked and night tightened down and for the type of hotel the Sherton is I would have expected much nicer furnishing in the room. It also appears that when I called in previous to my stay and had the room extended for an additonal day that did not happen. Also had to call front desk regarding food, garbage and dirty dishes on the 31 floor lobby area. August 27, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by jdm25450 A shining star in Seattle I have been a guest at this hotel on four separate occasions now. Each time the service from each department was no less than stellar. August 27, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by Dansize Week Long Business Trip I was at the hotel for 6 nights on a trip for a conference. The room and the bed were great. The timing schedule of the housekeeping staff was inconsistent which resulted in missing one day of cleaning. Also, it could be the color of the carpet or the patterns the vacuum system left, but the carpets in the common areas (halways and elevator areas) looked dirty. Otherwise, the hotel was a great place to stay and within reasonable walking distance of many opportunities for tourist stuff and shopping. August 27, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by CapitolGirl NIGP I would have liked a little larger bed (had a double but used to larger) and the room seemed a little dark so more lighting would have helped. August 27, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Alie10 Best Hotel Ever!! :) My husband and I stayed for one night with our children, we loved the room, the pool area was perfect. The only thing that was disappointing were the prices for the dinner at the grill restaurant , but We would definatly stay here again :) August 27, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Cinman There were issues with my room, 1217 Air conditioning - engineer needed to come in change filter and bleed lines - too hot. Bathroom - when running water in the facebowl, it took a long time to drain out, making it difficult to take mini-washups. August 27, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Lori15 Staff was very responsive My entire stay was very comfortable. Everytime I asked a staff member a question they went out of their way to answer it and provide additional information. I left an item in my room and called the hotel as soon as I got to the airport. They sent housekeeping, retrieved it and took it to the safe until my colleague could pick it up. I would stay here again if in Seattle. August 27, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Denise64 Great Hotel The location near the conference center was excellent. Hotel was very clean and staff was wonderful. I greatly enjoyed my stay. August 27, 2012
Rated 3 out of 5 room ok, staff not. Except for our friendly breakfast waiter (Mario) and one of the concierges (Lucie)who was pleasant and also gave correct information (others we deal with did not!) the staff was unpleasant and curt. August 27, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by Tim84 Problems I was very disapointed that there was a charge on the wireless signal in the rooms and because I was staying multiple days it would have been nice to have room in the mini refrigerator to store things. It just felt like there was a charge on any incedentals and no extra niceties. August 27, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by purchasing1115 Location Best location for the city of Seattle. We could walk ever where. Close to public transportation if we needed it! August 27, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Karen56 This hotel is centrally located and convenient This hotel is centrally located and convenient to many points of interest in Seattle and to moderately priced restaurants which is great for conference attendees. August 26, 2012
Rated 3 out of 5 by Morningstar5 Seattle Hotel was clean Food at the restaurant was mediocre. Food at conference event was not good. It was wrong temperature, meat was grisely. August 26, 2012
Rated 3 out of 5 by RTC123 Reservation/Billing Errors Folio was billed to incorrect credit card after being assured it would not be billed. Major hassle and headache at checkout since staff failed to extend original reservation by one day (once again, assured by staff this had been taken care of but . . . no). Staff really didn't care when it came time to check out that all the assurances made never were actually achieved. Very, very disappointed. August 26, 2012
Rated 1 out of 5 by JustJill Terrible Experience We did not know our parlor room had no dresser. The keys needed to be changed at least 2 times a day, the worst was the embarrassment we were caused because check in process was never conveyed to the proper person. Our room was being paid for by the organization paying for many other rooms and the hotel actually called the CEO of our conference to tell him that we did not have a valid credit card on file. Three other people were also told and we were thouroughly mortified. August 25, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by Gabal2000 great hotel this one of the best Sheraton hotels I have stayed at recently. The lobby is emacluate and the rooms are well maintained. The location is perfect for several attractions and resturants within walking distance. it has one of the best club lounges Sheraton has to offer. August 25, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by Sonomamountain $11 for 12 hours of Internet access? Nice hotel, very comfortable and great location in downtown Seattle; but seriously, charging $10.95 for an Internet connection (for up to 12 hours) at a $200+ per night hotel is ridiculous August 24, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by kspg Excellent Location A short walk to Pike Place and the wharf. Another short walk to the monorail to the Space Needle. Great for a vacation stay! August 23, 2012

As they lounge in an MTV green room before an interview, the musicians who favor long hair, denim and motorcycle boots watch their high-school-themed "Breakdown" clip with scholarly intensity.
"We should've done it nude," drummer Matt Taul muses.
Despite Tantric's Buddhism-evoking name and their moody, Alice in Chains-like sound, the band is, in person, utterly without pretense. Their banter is timeworn rock-star stuff fun with groupies and techniques for hiding illegal substances when passing through airports.
Guitarist Todd Whitener, bassist Jesse Vest and Taul, all natives of Louisville, Kentucky, used to play in Days of the New until a contentious parting of ways with that band's frontman, Travis Meeks. They found a new frontman, Hugo Ferreira, formed a new band, and began once again to climb the music-industry ladder, releasing Tantric's self-titled debut in February.
They chatted with Brian Hiatt about the origins of their name, their bygone day jobs and how they'd be nowhere without Frank Sinatra.
MTV: As nice Midwestern guys, how did you come up with an exotic name like Tantric?
Matt Taul: First of all, we didn't think of it.
Hugo Ferreira: We were like, "That's too fancy for us." We had this time period where we had to come up with something new because we [didn't] like our original name, Carbon-14. One of the runners, or she was a secretary [at the studio] ...
Jesse Vest: � Ferreira's girlfriend.
Ferreira: Oh my God, I'm sorry. She came in and she was telling us about tantric sex. She was all into the whole Buddhism thing and she said it while she was naked, so we're like, "Tantric works." We did a little research on the name [and] we thought it was cool. But it wasn't like we were at the top of a mountain and God's voice came down [and said], "Tantric."
Taul: We had to get jobs.
Todd Whitener: It was definitely an eye-opener for me. You go from living out a dream � life didn't even seem real. I went to high school [and] all [of] the sudden we were opening for Metallica. We found ourselves back at square one again.
Vest: I worked at Hooters.
Taul: I was there with him.
Vest: Actually, he didn't really show up for work very often and when he did show up he was drunk.
Ferreira: Me and Todd used to go there every day and get free wings.
Vest: I used to work at a machine shop.
Ferreira: I worked at a beach club.
Taul: We used to go there and get free booze. We could eat for free at my job and drink for free at his job.
MTV: How did you hook up with these guys?
Ferreira: We had known each other when Days first started. I played in a band in Detroit and we met at the beginning of [a] tour. We had done some shows together and we kept in touch. Every time I went to Louisville, I'd be like, "I'm opening up for Cinderella, come check out the show, dude."
Taul: Which really happened.
Vest: But we didn't go.
Ferreira: They were like, "We don't even like you, dude, why would we go?"
Whitener: Sorry about that, dude.
Ferreira: It's all right. When they decided they were going to stick together and they needed one other cat, I just [got] one of those phone calls in the middle of the afternoon. I went down and we hung out for a few weeks to see if we got along. Before we knew it, we were looking for a band name.
Whitener: I don't think there was. When we got together we all wanted to make music. As soon as we had our first band practice those [riffs] turned into songs, which turned into more band practices and more songs.
Ferreira: We had written so much stuff in six months because we were just rehearsing all day. God knows we didn't have anything else to do, and the local music store in Louisville helped us out. They were like, "Come over here and practice."
MTV: When did you play your first show as Tantric and what was that like?
Ferreira: It was a hometown show in Louisville [three months after we got together]. Believe it or not [we] sold the place out because we have friends [at] the local rock station. Here we are, no label, no record out, nothing and we borrowed equipment to do the show. We sold it out and everybody loved it. I think it was the first time that we played [and] we [felt] like, "All right, we're really a band again."
MTV: You're the latest in a long line of singers who sing in a really low vocal tone. Who are your vocal heroes presumably not the guy from Hootie and the Blowfish?
Ferreira: No. I grew up listening to Frank Sinatra and the Gipsy Kings. When my voice started developing and being really deep I never thought I was going to be a singer. When I was growing up and I'd listen to Mötley Crüe and stuff like that, all these guys had this like [sings in high voice] "ahhh." I'm like, "Ah, man, this isn't going to work for me." So I just started listening to everyone with a low voice. I think my style developed from [not listening to] rock singers.
MTV: Do you remember how the song "Breakdown" came together?
Whitener: When I first started writing that I was in Amsterdam just sitting in [a] hotel.
Ferreira:: He was going to Anne Frank's house.
Whitener: That song's pretty much about being pooped on and realizing that life is going to move on and you just have to keep your head high. Things will work out in the end, as long as you stay positive.

If the speculation is true, hopefully Derrick Rose is coming back because he feels like he is ready and not because he is being pressured to return. Even though he has been cleared to play for week, if his mind isn't right, he will only end up hurting himself and the Bulls. There has been rumblings that Monday, against the Nuggets, would be his official return back from his ACL injury. Several sources close to the situation, have told BSO, the Bulls believe Monday will be the day. If there is one thing I have learned, is sources can be wrong (ask Chris Broussard). Rose could still back out at the last minute, but don't be surprised if Monday is the day, all Bulls fans have been waiting for. This Tweet from Bulls beat writer Mike McGraw, seems to confirm that Bulls are expecting something special against the Nuggets. Bulls announced today that Mon's game vs. DEN is moving from CSN-plus to the main station. I'm sure fans can imagine a possible reason why. — Mike McGraw (@McGrawDHBulls) March 16, 2013

NY Giants DE Osi Umenyiora Impressed With Robert Griffin III: "That's The Best QB We've Played This Year"
Originally written on Next Impulse Sports | Last updated 10/22/12
Robert Griffin III continued to impress fans and players as his very solid rookie campaign continued this past Sunday. RGIII tossed for 258 yards, with two touchdowns and a lone interception on 20-for-28 passing and also scampered for 89 yards on 9 carries with one fumble. Prior to the season, defensive end Osi Umenyiora said he would call Griffin "Bob" until the rookie QB proved himself, but this week said Griffin's rightful name was, "Sir Robert Griffin III," after watching him put up highlights during the first six weeks of the season… "That guy is flat-out unbelievable," Umenyiora told reporters in the locker room. "That's the best QB we've played this year." Usenyiora was not the only NY Giant who was impressed with the rookie. Said fellow end Justin Tuck, "[Griffin] takes away from your enthusiasm for the game a little bit," as a defensive player. Defensive end Chris Canty added, "He's faster in person than he is on tape. He's very, very fast. He's a very talented young man. He's going to have a lot of success in this league." Giants coach Tom Coughlin said, "He looks like the fastest guy on tape and he's certainly the fastest guy on the field. When he pulls the ball down, when you break down contain and he goes outside, you are just praying someone is going to run him out of bounds." via Washington Post Article found on: Cosby Sweaters

Israel hits Syria arms convoy to Lebanon: sources
BEIRUT/AMMAN (Reuters) – Israeli warplanes bombed a convoy near Syria's border with Lebanon, sources told Reuters, apparently targeting weapons destined for Hezbollah in what some called a warning to Damascus not to arm Israel's Lebanese enemy.
Syrian state television accused Israel of bombing a military research center at Jamraya, between Damascus and the nearby border, but Syrian rebels disputed that, saying their forces had attacked the site. No source spoke of a second Israeli strike.
U.N. optimistic Syria aid meet will win major funding
BEIRUT (Reuters) – The United Nations has received promises of major donations at this week's $1.5 billion aid conference for millions of Syrians affected by nearly two years of conflict, a senior U.N. official said on Tuesday.
Wednesday's pledging conference in Kuwait will seek $1 billion of aid for Syria's neighbors sheltering 700,000 registered refugees, and another $500 million to bankroll humanitarian work for 4 million Syrians inside their country.
World ignoring Syria's systematic ruin: Jumblatt
MUKHTARA, Lebanon (Reuters) – World powers are abandoning Syria to be "systematically destroyed" by a civil war which has already wrecked whole cities in a once-great Arab nation, Lebanon's Druze leader Walid Jumblatt said.
Accusing them of "indifference or conspiracy", Jumblatt said none of the international players, which are deeply divided over the 21-month-old uprising against President Bashar al-Assad, had shown any urgency to stem the bloodshed.
Assad to make rare speech as Syrian rebels draw nearer
BEIRUT (Reuters) – Syrian President Bashar al-Assad will deliver a rare speech on Sunday about the uprising against his rule, which has killed 60,000 people and brought civil war to the edge of his capital.
With insurgents fighting their way closer to the seat of his power, state media said in a statement that Assad would speak on Sunday morning about the "latest developments in Syria and the region", without giving details.
Syria envoy calls for political change to end conflict
BEIRUT (Reuters) – The international envoy seeking a solution to Syria's 21-month-old conflict said on Thursday political change was needed to end the violence which has killed 44,000 people, and called for a transitional government to rule until elections.
Speaking in Damascus at the end of a five-day trip during which he met President Bashar al-Assad, Lakhdar Brahimi did not spell out detailed proposals but said that only substantial change would meet the demands of ordinary Syrians.
Syrian civil war at stalemate, Assad won't go – Russia
BEIRUT, Dec 22 (Reuters) – Syria's civil war has reached
stalemate and international efforts to persuade President Bashar
al-Assad to quit will fail, Russia's Foreign Minister Sergei
Lavrov said on Saturday.
Mainly Sunni Muslim rebels seeking to overthrow Assad are
fighting on the edge of the capital Damascus and expanding
southwards from their northern strongholds in Aleppo and Idlib
into the central province of Hama.
Syrian vice president says neither side can win war
BEIRUT (Reuters) – Syrian Vice President Farouq al-Sharaa said that neither the forces of President Bashar al-Assad nor rebels seeking to overthrow him can win the war which is now being fought on the outskirts of Assad's powerbase in Damascus.
Sharaa, a Sunni Muslim in a power structure dominated by Assad's Alawite minority, has rarely been seen since the Syrian revolt erupted in March 2011 and is not part of the president's inner circle directing the fight against Sunni rebels.
Syrian VP says neither side can win war
BEIRUT, Dec 17 (Reuters) – Syrian Vice President Farouq
al-Sharaa said that neither the forces of President Bashar
al-Assad nor rebels seeking to overthrow him can win the war
which is now being fought on the outskirts of Assad's powerbase
in Damascus.

Iran warns against Patriot deployment on Syria frontier
BEIRUT, Dec 15 (Reuters) – Iran's army chief of staff warned
NATO on Saturday that stationing Patriot anti-missile batteries
on Turkey's border with Syria was setting the stage for world
General Hassan Firouzabadi, whose country has been a staunch
supporter of President Bashar al-Assad throughout the 21-month
uprising against his rule, called on the Western military
alliance to reverse its decision to deploy the defence system.
Syrian jets strike rebels around Damascus
BEIRUT (Reuters) – Syrian warplanes bombed insurgents east of Damascus on Saturday and government forces pounded a town to the southwest, activists said, in a month-long and so far fruitless campaign to dislodge rebels around the capital.
Jets bombarded the Beit Sahm district on the road leading to the international airport and the army fired rockets at several rebel strongholds around Damascus, President Bashar al-Assad's bastion through 21 months of an increasingly bloody uprising.

Cool Stuff: Batman's Batcave-Inspired Home Theater
Posted on Saturday, August 18th, 2012 by Germain Lussier
Part of what makes Batman so popular is we all feel like, if we had his money, we could be that person. Just give us billions of dollars and we could afford the suit, the car, the fighting lessons and parental issues. Of course that's not true but now, here's proof you can definitely have your very own Batcave.

HTMLDoc which converts HTML to PDF has a page break facility.
