Enchante Autumn in Paris raises more than $2,000 for United Way
Three local boutiques recently presented a check in the amount of $2,280 to United Way of the Rock River Valley. The money was raised at the first annual style show Enchante Autumn in Paris, held at the Clock Tower Resorts elegant Bristol Room (formerly Figgs Cafe) and was hosted by Carlottas at the Clock Tower, Rhomberg Fur & Leather Gallery and Sarah McClelland Apparel, Inc.
We were looking for a way to showcase our fabulous fall fashions and benefit the community at the same time, said Sarah McClelland of Sarah McClelland Apparel. When we called United Way, we learned of the variety of programs they support throughout the community. We knew that we could do the most good with this relationship.
United Way solves the communitys most pressing problems with innovative initiatives and dynamic partnerships with agencies and others. United Way annually raises more than $6.3 million with nearly $5 million given back to the community. For more information, visit the Web site at www.unitedwayrrv.org.

Rated 3.4 out of 5 by 1296 reviewers.
Rated 4 out of 5 by KieshaT Excellent Customer Service My original room upon check-in was dirty, the bathroom smelled of urine and the coffee maker was disgustingly dirty. I did not complain until the next morning as the front staff was extremely busy due to the TCA conference. The next morning I spoke with Verlencia J., an associate at the front desk. I told her of my concern and asked if she could get someone to come clean my room. She profusely apologized and insisted that I allow her to move me to another room. I agreed and she sent me on my way with a FREE breakfast buffet coupon. I was thrilled, but later became overjoyed when I arrived at my new room and found out I was upgraded to an executive suite!! Verlencia J. even asked if I about my stay and upgraded room upon checkout, letting me know that even in the vast number of occupants she remembered me and cared enough to ask. November 19, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by felixi No Water in hotel due to scheduled repairs. We stayed at the Hotel for the Black Tie Gala on Saturday night. We enjoyed the night very much and were having an amazing time. But then I had a major event to attend on Sunday morning and found out that there was no water in the hotel. I could not take a bath, or even wash my teeth. I inquired at the front desk and they apologized because they planned for the water to go out later in the day due to a scheduled repair. But who plans for water to be cut the morning after a major event like the Black Tie gala? I am very disappointed at the poor planning and timing for this scheduled repair to take place. Me and my companion had to cut our stay short (we were planning to use my benefit of late checkout) and rush to my house to be able to get ready for a major event and we were LATE due to your poor planning. I am very uncomfortable about this. I am a Platinum SPG member, I enjoy your brand and I rave to all my friends about how great your brand is. This incident put me in a situation where I was ridiculed by those same friends, joking about how great Sheraton was to cut the water supply on Sunday morning. After I complained at the front desk, they offered to comp the night, but after I explained that I had redeemed Starpoints, they said that they did not know how to get my points back in my account and that a manager would take care of it later in the day. I checked my account this morning and I did not see the points back in my account. I am worried that their offer to re-instate the points will not be honored. Please look into this and give me some feedback on when I should expect to see the points back. I would also encourage you to talk to the Hotel management to understand what failed and how you can prevent this from happening. I am mad, irritated and disappointed that management at the Sheraton Dallas allowed this to happen on such an important day. In my opinion it is unacceptable. November 17, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by sanders1209 Planned Water outage? Put us in norht tower full knowing they were going to turn the water off Sunday AM. No one told us...offered breakfast to make up....couldn't showere, couldn't use toilet.....at 10am....really amazingly poorly managed..... I demanded comped rooms and they complied November 17, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by FreqTravelTX4456 Terrible Experience, Avoid the Sheraton Dallas Avoid this hotel at all costs. NO RUNNING WATER AND NO PARKING. Some things are just part of travel but this hotel has zero appreciation for their guests and has terrible customer service. For starters, self parking was full and valet refused to park hotel guests because they needed the spots for event guests. At check in, there was no mention of any scheduled maintenance, however, I woke up the next day to no running water. No cold or hot water, period. No shower, toilet water, water to brush my teeth, etc. The staff would not give me an answer as to when they might expect the issue to be fixed and would not offer any sort of refund or hotel credit. Avoid this hotel at all costs. November 17, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by PRF1114 Business Travel - for conference The outside temperature was 32^. The interior of the hotel (excluding the room) was not far above the outdoor temp. The hotel was freezing! J.E., at the front desk did not act interested in helping solve a problem with my room that the hotel had created. M.B., with concierge, seemed bothered by a phone call about the wi-fi. Valet was good - attentive - quick. November 17, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by TEH1 Great Hotel Great Hotel and sponsor of Black Tie Dinner. My room was very comfortable. Elevators were ridiculously slow and made a lot of bangs and clangs. $29 overnight parking rate for guests seemed excessive. November 17, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Byrd5 Great hotel. Terrible cell reception in my room. It was a great place. My only complaint is that I could get absolutely no cell reception in my room. I had a corner room, not sure if that had anything to do with it or not, but for whatever reason, it would work. Also, my heater wasn't working, but hotel maintenance came up almost immediately and turned on a heating valve in the ceiling??? Regardless it started working immediately. They were very courteous and hospitable. November 17, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Nana32 This hotel provided great service. Our first night we were put in a SPG room and it was wonderful. The rest of our stay was in a different room. The beds were very comfortable and clean. The only issue was rattling pipes when the shower was used. I told the front desk and they were going to address the issue. They even gave me extra points on my SPG account for my discomfort. Great place to stay. November 17, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by HDC35 Nice to stay in the hotel The room is nice. It has a good view from the windows. Hotel is also in a good location which is near to all the public transportation stations and museums. However, there are no free WiFi in the room. There were no iron and iron board either. November 16, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by Daddy1 Awful The simple matter is this hotel caters to low-life conventioneers. Accordingly, avoid. There are better hotels in Dallas, with out the moronic hassle of this one. November 16, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by TXwomann cold weather, warm stay I stayed at the hotel 4 nights for a conference, I immediately saw the benefits of being a Starwood member. I also upgraded to the Lounge club which was a good decision. The room was very comfortable & I especially liked the lighted dressing table in the room. The pillows & bedding were wonderful. I ate at the restaurant twice & had excellent service. It was an excellent place for our conference especially since it was so cold outdoors. The only confusion was the towers. It takes a while to figure it all out. When I return to Dallas, I'll definitely stay at the Sheraton. November 15, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by kerwelch Green Program While the Green Program was well advertised with displays, the hotel did not notify us upon check in that you needed to sign up for this program at check in so there was a lot of confusion upon checkout. Rooms were small but clean. Bathroom very small. November 12, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by disappointed1114 disappointed Cold water shower Meeting suite was large and roomy however: > no refrigerator > No ice bucket ( one in sleeping room too small) > Meeting table dwarfed by size of room and only 4 chairs ...too small November 10, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by VenkataAkula This hotel is one of he best hotels in Dallas People serving in Club lounge are excellent. They serve beer and wine with snacks every day. November 7, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by tnguest horrible customer service myself and some business colleagues stayed here while we had an event in dallas. we do events like these all over the country and often have supplies and things left after our event and have our own UPS labels, will prepare the boxes ourselves and hotels keep the box over night until UPS can pick them up for us the next day. This location lost our boxes somewhere in the building for 2 weeks. Would not call us back after calling daily for an update. Then did call us and told us we had to pay $100 in 'handling' since they had kept the boxes for us. i have never heard of anything so ridiculous! After 15 minutes of speaking with the manager he offered no resolution and was super unhelpful. No acknowledgement or apology for losing my boxes, for lack of response to our calls, and no empathy to help resolve my situation or ask for assistance from someone else at the hotel. I'm super unsatisfied with this location. Especially because at checkout I spoke with the front desk, concierge, and the bell hop about these 3 boxes I needed stored for 1 day and was assured my boxes would be taken to the business center for pickup later that day. I don't plan on staying here ever again and will make sure no one else in my company does as well. November 6, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by ScottyD71 Staff Your hotel staff were fantastic. From Robert at the bell service to the set-up crew and Chris in Banquets, everyone was extremely generous with their time and services. November 6, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by YDL13 This hotel needs maintenance Pillows were old, very smelly and looked very yellow/brown.Same with comforter. Towels were old and thin. Our room had a drainage problem in the basin, every time we cleaned teeth or wash our faces it would block and make strange noises. Disappointing!!! Fridge & Microwave old October 31, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by AndrewE reservations The Starwood reservation line told me there were no available rooms the day I wanted to check in. (This was a last minute trip for me.) I reserved another hotel and checked in, then came to the Sheraton for my conference. I went to the desk to see if there happened to be any rooms opened up and the clerk politely told me there were 300 vacant rooms for the next 2 nights! I was livid. There must be some kind of bust in the Starwood reservation system. October 29, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by AlsobMel Concert night Very nice hotel. I do wish they had a shuttle that went to local venues. The DART line is not really very efficient. October 27, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by hwhcarol Wonderful Experience I really need a good bed, so am very careful when I reserve hotels. We got a great price and the perfect room for us. It was very quiet and comfortable. I would highly recommend this hotel. October 27, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by Business570 Business traveler No hangers in the room although they were provided after I called the front desk. Room was somewhat noisey due to trains that run on the street below (I had a 5th floor room). Handle on tub fell off as a screw was missing (I left a note to alert the housekeeping staff before checking out). Valet staff was friendly but put my luggage in a cab rather than the shuttle that I had booked. Food at Kitchen was good and staff was accommodating. Overall while not poor, it was decidedly average; thought it would be better. October 25, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Diann2856 Efficient and helpful staff I found the staff of this hotel to be top notch except for the fact that we didn't receive the refrigerator that we requested, otherwise there were no issues. October 22, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by PhilipWS1962 AVOID Bad check in experience as I was kept waiting in the SPG line whilst 3 people got seen before me, Then I got given my key for room 2777 CENTRAL tower and when I got there the room does not exist. I went back to reception and they apologised and sent me to North tower. I decided to go to the lounge for a drink but the lounge is in the central tower so down I went and then across the hotel to the lift to go up to the 27th floor for the lounge. THe manager told me the front of house staff should have informed me that the Tower rooms had king beds but no lounge and the central tower had a lounge but no king beds! They didn't and clearly staff training is an issue at reception. Back in my room and it was freezing. The aircon was broken and there was also no ironing board and I needed to iron a shirt to head out. I called down and a board arrived along with an engineer to fix the aircon. However the board they brought was broken and the engineer told me the room would take about an hour to heat up. It's then that In decided to cut my stay short and I have gone online and booked another hotel, The rooms here are supposed to be remodeled but they are tired and lack a proper desk, This is the first Sheraton I have ever checked out of early but it really is to be avoided. October 21, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by Fair2014 This hotel has excellent room service The food items that we purchased through room service were excellent. We ordered the steaks. October 20, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by M5109 Housekeeping service I arrived on Thursday, by Friday night I had not received any service so in the evening I had to call to at least get clean towels for Saturday morning. October 20, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Kat15 Great week stay Used and impressed with Efrogg Transportation for we did short hops to restaurants and CVS,,,Room was very comfortable and Room attendant was very good. Enjoyed knowing when I returned to room in evening it would be fresh and cleaned. Seemed Restaurant was a little limited and expensive, would have been nice to have a sandwich shop alternative as you had with Peets coffee shop. October 19, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by TMT2002 September 2014 I was a guest in Sept 2014 for 2 nights. When I arrived to my room the bathroom was filthy. There was hair and dried up soap all over the counter. Hair on the floor and in bathtub and the bathtub had not been cleaned. I have pictures of the washcloths that I used to clean with and gave them to the housekeeper. She was even shocked. The glass desk top was smeared with some kind of sticky substance. October 18, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by RonD1212 Staff The hotel was clean and maid service was Very good. The restaurant's food menu's was very limited and the food was average. The elevator's where constantly broken and was hard to get to your room at times. October 14, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Chani11 Nice hotel, bars crowded with young people, signage needs work The hotel staff was very nice. It is difficult to navigate through the hotel, it is especially difficult to find the proper bank of elevators. If the burden of finding these is placed on the staff, they need to be better trained. Otherwise, MAKE BETTER SIGNS. The signs in general were confusing-- for example, a sign for registration pointing toward a wall. Also, the free computers and printers, which is a very nice benefit, work only sporadically. I found 1 combination of computer/ printer of many that actually functioned. Finally, the lobby level was very crowded and noisy (with young people at the bars) every night. Otherwise, the hotel was nice and and the rooms comfortable. Again, staff was quite polite and helpful. October 14, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by BTTK Nice Hotel in Downtown Area The hotel fit in the district we were wanting to stay in. We were pleased with our room and the covered parking. No problems, Everyone was very helpful. We did not use any of the restaurants but looked very popular. In spite of the hotel appearing very busy, our room was quiet throughout the night. October 14, 2014

The owner of multiple hotel locations gave UniMac®'s UniLinc™ reporting capabilities a major boost in a recent edition of Lodging Business.
In his column, "A Better Way to Manage Your Laundry Operations," Neel Shah discusses how laundry operations in the hospitality industry frequently go unsupervised. To remedy this situation and keep quality and efficiency high, Shah taps the reporting capabilities of UniLinc™.
"For me there's tremendous value to being able to pull a report from the washer's control and quickly identify when laundry cycles started and ended. If I see too much idle time between cycles, I know staff is not working efficiently," Shah says in the article.

Now that the charred rubble of Trace Adkins' old home has been cleared away, he and his family are anxious to move in to the new house that's being built on the same piece of Nashville property. It's been over five months since the Adkins were forced to relocate to a guest house when the main structure burned down.
Fans of both country music and baseball are being treated well the next few days.
Lots of stuff happening with our favorite country music artists. Luke Bryan is going to be on 'The Ellen Degeneres Show' today for his first-ever appearance. He kicks off his "Farm Tour" tomorrow.
Well what do you know, it's Friday again. Time to once again go back in the time machine and break out another great country song and video from the past with another edition of Flashback Friday.
This week we go back to back 15 years for Trace Adkins very first single "There's A Girl In Texas".
The last few Tuesdays have been great for country music fans with the releases of new albums from Blake Shelton, Chris Young, Eric Church, Randy Montana and many more. Today is no different as Trace Adkins has a brand new disc in stores and online called "Proud To Be Here" from Show Dog-Universal Records. It contains 10 tracks (14 if you buy the Deluxe Version) including his latest big hit "Just Fishin'".
There seems to be an overabundance of celebrities that make the wrong choices and end up in trouble or worse.
What a guy is all I have to say when I hear the name Trace Adkins.
Be was born in Mississippi in 1976, and he's co-written songs like "Honky Tonk Badonkadonk" with Trace Adkins and "Back That Thing Up" with Justin Moore. He's Randy Houser, part of the WGNA Countryfest 2011 lineup, on Saturday July 9.

text:
A device for supporting and holding open the mouth end of a bag during the filling thereof including an elongated, relatively thin, flexible, plastic sheet having hand openings and a series of spaced slots therein and depending locking tabs on one end thereof. Thus, the sheet may be bent into cylindrical form with its edges overlapping and the tabs disposed in those slots which permit the sheet to cylindrically and snugly conform to that of the bag within which it is inserted. When so sleeved within the mouth of a bag, the locking tabs will retain the sheet in assembled position to permit of ready filling thereof, after which the device may be withdrawn and collapsed for reuse.
1. A device for opening and supporting the mouth end of a bag comprising an elongated sheet having hand openings adjacent one edge thereof, a series of rows of spaced transversely extending slots adjacent one end of said sheet and spaced tabs formed integrally on and projecting from the opposing end of said sheet, said tabs having hook-like depending portions thereon and being in alinement with said rows of slots whereby said sheet is bendable and said hook-like portions are insertable in one of said rows of slots and lockable in cylindrical form for sleevable insertion in and for holding open and supporting said bag mouth end.
2. A device for opening and supporting the mouth end of a bag according to claim 1 wherein said sheet is plastic and generally flat.
3. A device for opening and supporting the mouth end of a bag for filling according to claim 2 wherein said sheet is rectangular and said hand openings extend longitudinally of said sheet and are located adjacent one longitudinal edge thereof.
This invention relates to a device which may be bent into cylindrical form and inserted within the mouth of a bag to permit of ready filling thereof.
It is a principal object of the present invention to provide an elongated, relatively thin, flexible, plastic sheet having hand openings and a series of spaced slots generally parallel to one end thereof and depending locking tabs on the other end therof to permit of the sheet being bent in cylindrical form and so retained in locked snugly conforming position during the filling thereof.
Another object is the provision of a sheet having a series of spaced slots in one end thereof and a series of spaced depending locking tabs on the other end thereof whereby the sheet may be readily positioned by the user's hands within and will conform to the mouth of a bag.
Still another object is to provide a relatively inexpensive generally flat sheet which may be so stored, and yet may be quickly bent into cylindrical form and positioned within the mouth end of a bag during the filling thereof, after which the sheet may be withdrawn and unlocked to assume its original flat condition.
While the prior art includes various bag filling devices, such as those to Schofield U.S. Pat. No. 176,555 -- Apr. 25, 1876, Mayo U.S. Pat. No. 544,585 Aug. 13, 1895, Dawson U.S. Pat. No. 1,668,053 -- May 1, 1928, and Morris et al. U.S. Pat. No. 1,879,410 -- Sept. 27, 1932, none of these have been satisfactory or efficient in that they are not readily adaptable to varying size bags, nor are they provided with locking means for securely and adjustably permitting assembly therewithin. In addition, such prior art devices are difficult to assemble and/or store.
These and various other objects and advantages will be apparent as the specification is considered with the accompanying drawings wherein
FIG. 1 is a plan view of a bag mouth opening and supporting device in the generally flat position it assumes prior to assembly within a bag; and
FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the device when bent into cylindrical bag opening and supporting form, as mounted in the mouth of a bag.
Referring more particularly to the drawings, wherein similar reference characters designate like parts throughout the several views, an elongated, generally rectangular, relatively thin, and somewhat flexible, sheet 1 of suitable plastic, or metal, is provided with several spaced rows of vertically extending slots 3 adjacent to one end 2 thereof. Three rows of slots each is considered adequate, although this, of course, may be varied, depending upon the degree of circumferential adjustment required, as will hereinafter be explained.
Outwardly and downwardly projecting locking tabs 5, corresponding in number with each row of slots 3, are formed on the opposing end 4 of sheet 1. These tabs may be integrally formed on the sheet, such as when the latter is molded if formed of plastic, shaped by stamping if formed of metal, or otherwise secured by welding or the like. Each tab has a hook-like portion 6 which is adapted to project through the slots 3 in each of the vertical rows thereof so that the hooks 6 will extend downwardly below the lower edges 7 of the slots and thereby retain and lock the sheet in bent cylindrical position of FIG. 2, in an obvious manner.
Horizontally extending spaced openings 9 are formed in sheet 1 slighly below an upper edge 8 thereof and function as hand holds to enable the user to bend sheet 1 into cylindrical form and interlock tabs 5 with slots 3 so that the cylinder may be sleeved within and snugly conform to the mouth of a bag B. It will be apparent that when tabs 5 coact with the first row of slots, the sheet will be of maximum diameter, and may be readily contracted for smaller size bags by being interlocked with the second and third row slots, in an obvious manner.
As sheet 1 is generally flat and somewhat flexible, it may be packaged and stored in flat form, and bent cylindrically for use with a bag. When so cylindrically positioned within a bag, sheet 1 will extend and retain the mouth end of the bag in open position and enable ready filling thereof. When filling has been completed, the cylindrical sheet may be withdrawn therefrom by the user grasping hand openings 9 and the tabs disconnected from the slots so that the sheet reassumes a generally flat position.
While a preferred form of my invention has been shown, various changes and improvements may be made therein without departing from the scope and spirit of the appended claims.

Focus Stocks
No sector can foretell investors' skittishness or appetite for risk quite the way the utilities sector can. That helps to explain why 2011 was a banner year for the Utilities Select Sector SPDR (NYSE: XLU) and those statements also explain why the largest utilities ETF is down 3.1% in 2012. In fairness to XLU, the fund posted a double-digit gain in 2011 and when the market decided to embrace more risk in January and February of this year, XLU and its constituents were cast aside like yesterday's newspaper.
Well, things might be stating to change and while that might not be good for high beta fare such as energy, financials and technology ETFs, it would be be good for XLU. As macroeconomic headwinds, both foreign and domestic, have suppressed equity returns in recent week, XLU has at least been less bad. The ETF has gained almost two-thirds of a percent in the past week and nearly 1% in the past month.
With $6.16 billion in assets under management and an expense ratio of 0.18%, XLU is largest and cheapest utilities ETF and most conservative investors probably won't complain about a dividend yield that hovers around 4%. That doesn't mean XLU is the perfect utilities ETF.
There are six other domestic utilities ETF on the market including the Vanguard Utilities ETF (NYSE: VPU), the First Trust Utilities AlphaDEX (NYSE: FXU), the Focus Morningstar Utilities ETF (NYSE: FUI), the Guggenheim S&P Equal Weight Utilities ETF (NYSE: XLU) and the PowerShares Dynamic Utilities ETF (NYSE: PUI).
While assets under management, average daily volume and expenses are important issues for any ETF investor to consider; the most important consideration of all is returns. On that basis, XLU is sort of a mixed bag in 2012. To its credit, the fund has outperformed its First Trust, Vanguard, iShares and FocusShares rivals. On the other hand, it has delivered roughly the same returns as the Guggenheim S&P Equal Weight Utilities ETF.
Of course it should be noted that the PowerShares Dynamic Utilities ETF is the only of the group, not XLU that is positive on a year-to-date basis. To be fair, the PowerShares Dynamic Utilities ETF has a smaller yield than XLU and that does factor into total returns. The difference of over 100 basis points is perhaps too much to ignore for many investors, as it should be, but the reality is there is more to the utilities ETF debate than meets the eye and PUI is a more credible rival to XLU than it has been given credit for being.

Word that Warner Bros. was looking at Tom Cruise as the potential star of the All You Need Is Kill comic book adaptation – a project previously said to have been re-titled We Are Mortals – popped up a couple months ago (from the time of writing this). The bankable star has at last agreed to headline the sci-fi/action flick.
Doug Liman (The Bourne Identity) has long been attached to helm the All You Need Is Kill movie, but was previously looking to make the expensive sci-fi thriller Luna his next directorial project. Now that the latter is no longer being co-financed by Skydance, it has been put on the backburner – freeing up Liman to press ahead with his manga-based film instead.
Dante Harper (the upcoming Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters) penned the original draft of the All You Need Is Kill film adaptation's script. Variety says that Harper's screenplay is currently being retooled by Joby Harold, so that the main character fits the age of 49-year-old Cruise.
Harold, for the record, was the writer-director of the much-derided 2007 Hayden Christensen psycho-thriller Awake. Make of that what you will.
Source Code, as it were, was scripted by Ben Ripley – a fellow whose previous writing credits (ex. Species III and Species: The Awakening) also didn't exactly inspire much confidence. While that final product was ultimately well-liked by professional and casual moviegoers alike, the film has also (fairly) been criticized as a movie that doesn't fully deliver on the potential of its premise (see: our Source Code review for more details).
Getting to the point: Liman has likewise often been cited as a capable filmmaker who nonetheless has failed to fully capitalize on the ingenious ideas and concepts behind many of his projects – be it still well-received titles such as Mr. and Mrs. Smith and Fair Game or a less-than-popular flick such as Jumper. So, one has to wonder if history will repeat itself (pun not intended) and Liman's All You Need Is Kill adaptation will be a decent, but somewhat underwhelming action flick.
That said – most would agree that Cruise still has what it takes to be a great action hero onscreen (see: early footage of him in the upcoming Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol). So, his involvement with Liman's new project reads all the more as being a good thing, in that regard.
The All You Need Is Kill adaptation (which may still be titled We Are Mortals) is expected to begin production by the last quarter of 2012, after Cruise completes his work on director Joseph Kosinski's Oblivion movie.

Until now, the complexity of PMN-PT has thwarted researchers' efforts to develop simple, reproducable microscale fabrication techniques.
Applying microscale fabrication techniques such as those used in computer electronics, Eom's team has overcome that barrier. He and his colleagues worked from the ground up to integrate PMN-PT seamlessly onto silicon. Because of potential chemical reactions among the components, they layered materials and carefully planned the locations of individual atoms. "You have to lay down the right element first," says Eom.
Onto a silicon "platform," his team adds a very thin layer of strontium titanate, which acts as a template and mimics the structure of silicon. Next comes a layer of strontium ruthenate, an electrode Eom developed some years ago, and finally, the single-crystal piezoelectric material PMN-PT.
The researchers have characterized the material's piezoelectric response, which correlates with theoretical predictions. "The properties of the single crystal we integrated on silicon are as good as the bulk single crystal," says Eom.
His team calls devices fabricated from this giant piezoelectric material "hyper-active MEMS" for their potential to offer researchers a high level of active control. Using the material, his team also developed a process for fabricating piezoelectric MEMS. Applied in signal processing, communications, medical imaging and nanopositioning actuators, hyper-active MEMS devices could reduce power consumption and increase actuator speed and sensor sensitivity. Additionally, through a process called energy harvesting, hyper-active MEMS devices could convert energy from sources such as mechanical vibrations into electricity that powers other small devicesfor example, for wireless communication.
The National Science Foundation is funding the research via a four-year, $1.35 million NIRT grant. At UW-Madison, team members includ

In a report out today, the Pew Research Center offers a fascinating look at Americans' views on aging -- and on, specifically, the practice known as "radical life extension." The majority of American adults, the survey found, don't believe that such life extension capabilities will be generally feasible in the near future: 73 percent of them, asked whether the average person would live to be 120 years old by the year 2050, answered in the negative.
Where Americans place more confidence, it seems, is in the incremental technologies that could contribute to longer life spans. As part of its survey, Pew asked its respondents how optimistic they are about things like artificial limbs and cures for cancer. And the responses they got were fascinating:
In (other) words: 71 percent of Americans believe that, by 2050, artificial arms and legs will perform better at being limbs than their natural counterparts; 69 percent believe that there will be a cure for most forms of cancer. The survey respondents were slightly more split when it comes to the most radical life extension of all, the de-extinction of species; 50 percent thought cloning would bring species back to life by 2050, while 48 percent doubted the possibility.
Again, the survey respondents, for all this techno-optimism, didn't seem to believe that the advances would accrue to longer life spans for humans as a group. The year 2050 may well bring advances in medical science and in medical technology; the bigger question -- the one suggested by the telling phrase "the average person" -- is whether those advances will be distributed across the population. There are many ways to read Pew's predictions about human progress. The most cynical is that while Americans have faith in the advancement of human technology, they are less sure about the advances' abilities to affect the life of the average person.

In all seriousness, I would love to see the Monk return, Patrick Stewart or not.
From what I'm given to understand by several UK sources, Timothy Dalton is portraying the character that Stewart would have played in the specials. Dalton's schedule was free, while Stewart was booked for
Waiting for Godot
with Sir Ian McKellan.
I tend to doubt that character is the Monk.
Ah, that would make sense. Pity Stewart was too busy, but I'm looking forward to Dalton's appearance, Monk or not. Hopefully Stewart will be able to appear later on down the road.
