RELIGION 1, science 0. The US Supreme Court has ruled that forcing some companies to provide female employees with free contraception can be a violation of the owners' religious freedom.
Anti-abortion campaigners celebrated but others say the decision ignores the scientific evidence.
Two companies – Hobby Lobby Stores and Conestoga Wood Specialties – challenged one of the mandates of President Barack Obama's Affordable Care Act, which has it that firms must provide health insurance that offers free birth control.
They believe that a human life starts when a sperm and egg meet. They are not opposed to birth-control methods that prevent fertilisation, but condemn those that prevent the implantation of a fertilised egg, believing this to be tantamount to abortion. The firms cite two morning-after pills, and two intrauterine devices as examples.
The Supreme Court ruled that closely held businesses, which have more than 50 per cent of their shares owned by five or fewer individuals, may opt out of providing their employees with birth control coverage if the methods conflict with their religious beliefs.
But others say that these methods of contraception would not conflict with the religious beliefs of the firms' owners because they work by preventing fertilisation.
"The medical community is in agreement that none of them equate to abortion," says Pratima Gupta of the San Francisco Medical Center, who is a former board member of the pro-choice network Physicians for Reproductive Choice and Health.

Hello everyone thanks for checking out my...
Hello everyone thanks for checking out my profile. This is always the toughest part of making a profile but here goes nothing. My name is Matt, and I am currently a software engineer in South Jersey. I think of myself as a pretty well rounded person who is generally up for anything. I am definitely not a homebody, I work really hard during the week and like to unwind and go out on the weekends, but that doesn't necessarily mean a club or a bar even though I like that too. Once in a while it is nice to relax at home with a nice fire in the backyard. For fun I love going out to restaurants (mainly Italian, Spanish or Mexican), concerts (my musical taste ranges from punk rock to hip hop to Fiona apple to Calvin harris/tiesto/hardwell), movies, bars/clubs, the beach, road trips, art, and traveling. I am an avid Philadelphia sports fan even when they are terrible, I am pretty much up for anything What I look for in a woman is pretty simple. Beyond the physical attraction, she must have a sense of humor, some sort of ambition/goals in life, kindness, trustworthy and outgoing. I joined this site in hopes to meet someone with similar interests and to move on together to bigger and better things in life. If you like what you see feel free to drop me a line.

Anger at Austintown bus plan
As the parents of a St. Chris- tine student, we are writing to protest the proposed change to our busing situation. The Austintown Board of Education says its plan is based on the Ohio Revised Code, and it has the right to offer alternative transportation and it is doing this by offering WRTA public transportation. Well that same code also requires the district to provide safe, timely transportation to our children, and the proposed WRTA option is not safe or timely.
Requiring our eight-year-old son to ride public transportation alone to and from school is not safe. In fact, it's absolutely crazy. He would have to walk over a mile to and from the WRTA bus stop because the buses do not stop near our home or at St. Christine's. Our eight-year-old son would have an unsupervised layover at the downtown WRTA bus terminal, which is one of the highest crime areas in the city. He would be unsupervised, at risk and scared to death. And to top it all off, he would be late for school every single day. This so called "option" is completely ridiculous.
We have supported school levies in the past, but if the board goes through with this proposed change, we will never vote for another Austintown school levy. We will also make sure that all of our friends and family in Austintown vote against future levies as well.
Our son has every right to ride the bus like any other Austintown child. We all pay the same taxes. Stop discriminating against the Catholic school children, and stop putting money before the safety and welfare of these children. Do the right thing.
Glendon and Tarra O'Hara, Austintown
"Requiring our eight-year-old son to ride public transportation alone to and from school is not safe."
Nobody is requiring your eight-year-old son to ride public transportation...alone or not.
"In fact, it's absolutely crazy."
Then don't do it.
"He would have to walk over a mile to and from the WRTA bus stop"
Not if you give him a ride, he won't. But instead, you'd rather make him walk.
Am I the only one who feels sorry for this kid? lol
Drone, you missed a couple:
"Our son has every right to ride the bus like any other Austintown child."
That's true - your child has the right to ride the bus TO A PUBLIC SCHOOL like any other child. He does NOT have the right to ride a public school bus to a private school.
"We all pay the same taxes."
Yes, we do, but our taxes aren't supposed to go to private institutions. Our taxes support public schools, not private/parochial schools.
Youngstown public school kids rode city buses in the past - it wasn't that big a deal. We bought bus passes at a discount rate or paid the regular fare, too. And the story pointed out that a point-to-point route could be set up where the kids would go directly to the school, not having to deal with the Federal St. station. If there's one major flaw in the Board's plan, it's dumping kids on their own in that sewer. But the WRTA said that concern can be eliminated, if the Board would talk to them.
Nobs,You missed a couple. You should say we'll take your taxes but don't ask for anything in return. And you also show why private education is superior to the babysitting done in Austintown as well as most other public schools. Austintown could save a lot more money cutting the fat out of union contracts that finance their election campaigns!
I am sorry - these parents have chosen to send their child to a parochial school located outside Austintown Township. Either send the child to the parochial school in Austintown or get him there yourselves
Be careful what you wish for, if you keep talking about what a good idea this is and how much money it will save, it could be your kids next! Austintown parents didn't want the Federal League, you got it anyway. Austintown parents did not want open enrollment, you got it anyway. Austintown did not want uniforms, they got it anyway. How do you know this isn't next for you?Think about how much money it could save the district, no wages, benefits or retirement for the bus drivers. How much would it save in fuel and repair costs? Now how do you feel about your six year old daughter sitting at the WRTA terminal for forty minutes unsupervised? Is it okay if she walks almost a mile from her bus stop to school on a busy road with sidewalks only covering half the route?
These are kids we are talking about, if you are angry at the parents for choosing private schools find some other way to work it out.
OK... first, these people choose to incorporate religion into their child's education... I can see where some of you need some too... the whole debate is about CHILDREN'S SAFETY. Yes they can drive their child but what about the people who have no way of doing that?? The school is stating that they are saving $40,000 or $45,000 ... WOW!!! BIG DEAL!! Just wait until one of these children get hurt or worse, because a parents decides that the Austintown Board of Education knows whats best for their child and actually puts them on that bus. Can you say 'lawsuit' and I'm sure it'll be for more than $45,000. I also noticed that none of you mentioned MCCTC students... the ones that can drive... they send buses to Canfield for them... that is a choice those students made and they still get a ride out of the township!! These people are doing what they feel is best for their child. I am doing what I feel what is best for my children. And trust me when I say this...gmailuser hit the nail on the head!
school system saving money!!!!! who will get the raise with that money?
Buttercup - MCCTC is part of the public school system. That's why nobody mentioned them.
And I disagree that the whole debate is about childrens' safety. That's an important part of it, for sure, but it's not the only part. As public schools are looking for ways to cut costs, they're cutting all sorts of things they're not mandated to keep. Supplying public school buses to non-public schools is one of those things. The WRTA can send a bus on a specific route to pick up school kids - no need to run them through the sewer on West Federal St. We taxpayers are already paying for the WRTA buses - it'd be nice if SOMEONE rode them!
I agree with YoungstownBornRaised. These people choose to send their children to a private school in Youngstown when they live in Austintown then they complain that no free bus service is provided. I never did understand why parents of Catholic school students expect transportation to be provided for their children by public school buses. Yes they pay taxes but that tax money is for their local public school. If you don't like the situation then transport your kids yourselves.
@NoBS - "MCCTC is part of the public school system. That's why nobody mentioned them".
The truth is no one mentioned MCCTC because it proves how hypocritical this plan is. Mr Colaluca said they cannot afford to bus outside of their township-MCCTC is outside of their township. St Christine's school is approx. 4 miles from the Austintown Bus garage, Ursuline is anywhere from 6.5 to 8 miles from the Austintown bus garage depending on the route. MCCTC is 8 miles from the Austintown bus garage.
Austintown schools are NOT cutting things "they're not mandated to keep" They are still provided busing for Fitch students even though they are not required to.
The state of Ohio says the Parochial students are entitled to a bus ride, plain and simple
"The WRTA can send a bus on a specific route to pick up school kids - no need to run them through the sewer on West Federal St. We taxpayers are already paying for the WRTA buses - it'd be nice if SOMEONE rode them!"
You're also paying for the school buses, which are designed to transport young kids, WRTA buses are not equipped with the same safety devices.as school buses-that's because they were never intended for that use
This is so ridiculous, There is so much whining, it's almost funny. Austintown Bd. of Ed. is only doing it's job of eliminating unnecessary expenses. Busing outside the district is not necessary when private alternatives are available inside the district. Hopefully, parents will be able to find their own solutions. This thing about not voting for tax levies and getting all friends and family to do the same has been around for decades. Grow up, people.
Time was when there were virtuallly no school buses in any city, just public transportation that you could (and did) use for any purpose. Once everyone decided to "jump ship" and head to the suburbs because their neighbor did, that was the end of dependable public transportation as we know it in the Mahoning Valley. Like another poster said: "Be careful what you wish for...."
That is so stupid,, public schools must set up for all kids in the district
Check the law . Before you run your mouth
It was ok when the Austintown school district begged us for money to build their two new middle schools. There was no mention of the burden the transportation was putting on the district. We all better be careful what transpires here. If you do away with one what will stop them from doing away with all. Yes there are laws, but how soon they can change.

If you are a fan of Laura Ingalls, then you may remember the buckwheat pancakes. Every time I read the books to my kids, I dream about eating those pancakes. In fact, those books were the reason that I started eating my pancakes with brown sugar and butter.
I was so excited to see we now have a recipe to make them here on Foodista!
Thanks to Foodista member Julia Mueller we have delicious pancakes that are also gluten free.

I have a class that only has static members.
I would like to register one of its member functions (VerifyClean in the code below) to be called at exit, using the "atexit" library function.
The C++ FQA says that i must specify extern "C" for the function i want to register this way, like in the following example.
class Example
static void Initialize();
static void DoDirtyStuff {++dirtLevel;}
static void CleanUpStuff {--dirtLevel;}
static void VerifyClean();
// DOESN'T COMPILE: extern "C" static void VerifyClean();
static int dirtLevel;
int Example::dirtLevel;
extern "C" void Example::VerifyClean() // DO I NEED extern "C" HERE?
assert(dirtLevel == 0);
void Example::Initialize()
dirtLevel = 0;
Do i really have to use extern "C"?
Does the answer change if i replace "atexit" with a non-library function (implemented in plain C)?
If the function VerifyClean were public and i decided to call it directly from C++ code, would i get link errors or runtime crashes? I ask this because the declaration doesn't mention extern "C" at all, so regular C++ code might handle the function call incorrectly. This works OK on my MS Visual Studio 2005 system.

^Rickymullet rules are worse
Doesn't all music at major festivals have some type of electronic aspect to it. I havn't seen to many grand piano's playing acoustic lately in the scene. And, not that its my concern, but are there still feds in the woods with night vision? That kinda f'd up the vibe back in the day. Heard thats straight now, but would like confirmation. Love music, but a bunch of depressed hippies bugging me for money to get their friends out of jail destroys the vibe.
The top of Mulberry, the festival grounds, the feds aren't allowed inside unless the organizers need help corralling the nitrous mafia, the only threat to the sanctity of Wakarusa. Also, don't take anything illegal with you to the waterfall if you do go, that is on federally-owned land. I haven't had any problems with the authorities at Waka in AR, never had my car searched once (just been asked if i had dead bodies or bombs, haha). The lineup of Wakarusa is diverse, and I'm looking forward to the mixture of "mainstream" MMJ/Mumford/Ben Ha with "jamstream" Umph, STS9, DSO with "jamtronica" Lotus, EOTO with electronic acts like Shpongle and Skrillex. Gonna be a face-melting doozy of a time.
There is nothing to worry about at the new site. Very relaxed and laid back. I did not see anyone getting in trouble for anything last year. I did see a guy steal a security golf cart... and a couple nitrous dudes getting in trouble in the wee hours of the morning (7:00am maybe?).. but thats about it.
Wakarusa tickets are only $139 right now, but the price goes up this Saturday! Get 'em now while this allotment lasts! A great deal - over 70 bands!!
Wakarusa has a great site and with some of this music and cheap prices I am going to be all over it. Who's everyone excited to see this year?
I wanna see me STS9 with two sets and Thievery Corporation

Matta said he won't talk to UK. End of story. :rolleyes:
Seriously though, if Matta didn't pursue the IU job, why would he pursue the UK job?
Contractually Smith probably has to allow him to talk, so the question this story is based on probably only had one answer. I seriously doubt that Thad is going anywhere, he has a very good recruiting class coming in next year again, and a GREAT recruiting class coming for 2008. He is already one of the highest paid coaches in the country, and frankly Ohio State has all the resources or more, than Kentucky could offer. Kentucky's job has more historical prestige, but Thad is sitting on a home field advantage in terms of recruiting. Quite frankly it is embarrasing that Ohio State hasn't had more success over the years, considering the instate talent, and money in the athletic department.
At this point, if Matta leaves again after he has said he won't, he may well end up looking like he went to the Nick Saban school of how to further your career.
As an Ohio State fan, if Thad Matta left, it wouldn't be the end of the world. You could always find someone to take his place.
Ashley Judd, does that make UK more or less attractive?
You tell me...
I didn't know UK had hockey?
Or is that pool?
Yeah, ten year old picture, about when UK had a good team too.:devil:
A few years ago...I about burnt out UK football till they hired a young coach (who I liked his offense) by the name of Hal Mumme who got me intersted in football again.
I have done reached that stage with the basketball program and there are only a few guys that would bring back that excitement again for basketball.
Matta is alright but he isnt one of the guys. No offence to OSU fans on here just merely my opinion.
I mentioned this in the previous thread, but I am starting to wonder what skeletons are hiding in Mr. Matta's closet.

While I don't want Matta anywhere near UK, the fact that he said no doesn't mean much because he said that he wasn't up for the Ohio St job either.

to my dearest Eliza,
Tomorrow will be one month since you left me and I just want to let you know I miss you more and more each day. Everything I do reminds me of you. When mommy gets home from work I grab a piece of dirty clothing out of your laundry basket just to smell you..that's right mommy stuffs her nose in your pukey smelling clothes! I often wonder how I get through these days but I think I finally have an answer babygirl..and the answer is love & support. Everyone is here for mommy..to listen to mommy, and to watch mommy cry for you. Looking at your pictures and watching your videos makes me laugh, to be able to watch you roll over,giggle, tell me stories in your own way & to watch videos of when your only a few days old and you just laid there..I was mesmorized then and I'm mesmorized now. I still don't have an answer to why this happened to us, and I don't think I ever will but I just want you to know that I love you..I loved you yesterday & I'll continue to love you until the day I see you again. I only ask one thing of you, and that's not to be mad at god for taking you because even though it's unfair that we can't be together, he allowed us to have 4 1/2 months..the BEST 4 1/2 months of our lives. You've changed my life in so many ways and you've given me a reason to live. I love you Eliza Rae, I love you..

Just The Right Scarf!
By FRITZ
from Montpelier, Vermont
I've never used a scarf before this one. It has been VERY cold in Vermont this winter, and I casually mentioned to my wife that maybe I needed a scarf. Boom! Done! It arrived two days later. This cashmere scarf is soft and warm. It drapes perfectly around my neck, and is doing a great job of keeping my neck and chest warm.In truth, it a simple, plain, well-made 100% cashmere scarf and there isn't a whole lot to say . . . but this is a VERY nice one!

Gift for my Wife!

Wife loves cashmere, scarves and shawls, and red. The price was right and based on previous purchases from Joseph A Bank, I knew the quality would be just right too. Although her birthday is still to come, I gave her the scarf now and she loves it!
excellent scarf

this scarf keeps me warm.
Great Christmas gifts!

from Houston, TX
These scarves were generously proportioned in 100% cashmere. The sale price was an outstanding value and I opted to have the 3 I purchased delivered to my local store. They were gifts for 3 women - one in the cold northeast and two others in the Midwest. They were thrilled with the colors, the length and quality. These scarves are unisex with very thin fringe on the edges; not too feminine but still a nice finishing touch.

my husband love it as the scarf is sooooo soft to the touch.
great for price

It's very soft but it's not the best cashmere. It's well worth the discounted price though. Beautiful scarf.
It's ok
By Tallulah
from Terry, MS
Basic wardrobe piece. Nothing much to say about a charcoal gray scarf. Nothing exceptionally good or bad about it.
Fabulous deal

I was looking for a cashmere scarf for my sister, and found it a Jo's.a Bank. She loved it. It was a very good price, so I loved it. It was everything we both wanted. I highly recommend it.

Great buy in Cashmere scarves!
By N/A
from Washington, DC
I purchased a number of these as Christmas gifts for the five men in our family. Colors are rich and lovely and the cashmere is of excellent quality, very soft an dwell made. After I received the order, I also went online and purchased some of the plaids. I enjoyed the free shipping as well.I also purchased merino wool sweaters for the five men in our family at a local Jo. A Bank store!
Good quality, color slightly off
By Sarah
from Connecticut
The scarf is good quality. The charcoal color is the one I ordered, and it's almost black, which is slightly darker than the picture and what I was looking for. But otherwise it is a great scarf.
Great scarf and the color is perfect.
By Mags
from Texas
I have always had good luck ordering from Jos. A Bank and I have always been satisfied with the products. I bought one scarf and liked the red color so much that I bought another two to give as gifts.
The Ladies Love them.
By gnik
from WLV, CA
Colors online are NOT true, other wise an excellent purchase. We buy them every year on Black Friday for the ladies in our family.We usually purchase them in store, but the displays were gone this year.
Nice for money
By Alex
from Bloomington Illinois
Like everything at Bank it's a good product for the money.
Had hole punched through scarf and bag it game in but took it in and they just ordered me another. Took a few minutes but it might have been the shipper so I was glad they didn't give me a hassle.
Beautiful Cashmere Scarf
By Philly G

This cashmere scarf is not only perfect for the holidays but at any time. It looks expensive but it wasn't! That is always good!
So Much More!

Wanted to treat myself to some scarves and just happened to get them on super sale…my only regret….was I should have purchased more than two. Although I was concerned that they were made in china(not the best place for cashmere) I found them to be soft and yummy and exactly what I wanted for a lot less than a british cashmere. I will absolutely be buying all the colors when they go on super sale again!!! I bought it in Tibet/Linen and the charcoal blue colors and they were prettier in person than on line pics.

Amy Van Dyken-Rouen's goal to walk out of hospital in August
Jun 27, 2014, 8:16 AM EDT
Six-time Olympic champion swimmer Amy Van Dyken-Rouen has felt sporadic movement a little bit below her belly button since being paralyzed in a June 6 ATV accident, giving her hope that she may regain some feeling in her legs one day.
Van Dyken-Rouen's goal is to walk out of her Colorado hospital in August, she told TODAY's Matt Lauer at the facility last Thursday.
"I am now paralyzed," she told TODAY. "I am now disabled. I am now paraplegic. Although I aim to not be one day, that's what I am."
Van Dyken-Rouen, 41, severed her spine in the ATV accident in Arizona. Her neurosurgeon told the retired swimmer and her husband, former Denver Broncos punter Tom Rouen, to say goodbye to each other before surgery in case she didn't survive it.
"Right now, I suck at getting out of my chair, just like I sucked at swimming [growing up]," Van Dyken-Rouen said. "This is a new challenge. I'm taking it head on. I'm not afraid of it. I welcome it. This is more than just for a gold medal. This is for my life."
She's undergoing intense physical therapy, from about 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. each day, and posting updates on social media. She said she wouldn't have use of her hands if her accident was a few vertebrae higher.
"It's a setback, that's all it is," Van Dyken-Rouen said. "And then we're going to rock and roll."
Of the accident, Van Dyken-Rouen said she remembers eating trout earlier that day.
"I remember getting up from my seat," she said, "And that's where it ends."
Van Dyken-Rouen said her husband has gone days without sleeping and eating.
"I went over it 1,000 times in my head," Tom said of the accident. "She took off, and then I turned. One second, and she was over. It's a tough thing to get out of your mind. She wasn't moving. She wasn't breathing.
"One of the things that I told her was if she wanted, if all this was too much and she wanted to go, she could go. I would understand."
Van Dyken-Rouen took that as a challenge, a reminder of her swimming career. She won four gold medals at the 1996 Olympics and two more in 2000.
Her parents, who witnessed those Olympic races firsthand, were in the recovery room when she woke up from surgery and have been with her every day in rehab, according to TODAY.
"Dad, now I can race you in our wheelchairs," Van Dyken-Rouen joked.

Building off of their 5-0 start to the 2011 season, the Lions have held their playoff fate in their own hands most of the 2011 season. After some mid-season struggles the Lions prepare to begin their first trip to the playoffs since 1999 and also attempt to win their first postseason game since 1991 when they defeated the Dallas Cowboys in the Divisional Round 38-6. Here are questions they face as they prepare for Saturday evening's playoff showcase game against the New Orleans Saints.1. Will Ndamukong Suh make playoff opponents put the words TRIPLE team in their game plan? On New Year's Eve Ndamukong Suh tweeted that his resolution was, "to make teams put the words TRIPLE team in their game plan!!!" This weekend would be a good start with Drew Brees as the opposing quarterback. In the week 13 game, Suh was serving the first of a two game suspension for his dance on the arm of Evan Dietrich-Smith. Rookie Nick Fairley picked up a sack filling in at defensive tackle for Suh that game ...

Rated 4 out of 5 by 192 reviewers.
Rated 4 out of 5 by LD46 very helpful staff.. we were there as a central point to travel south..the staff was excellent with helping us with our plans for each day...The restaurant was great and we enjoyed the company and advice of the young lady bartender Andrea each night. June 12, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Alex913 This hotel meets all expectations - staff is professional, friendly, and courteous. - hotel is clean. room is clean. - everything works. - towels are clean, white & soft. June 5, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by JoeVodkaSauce Nice facility, Poor SPG treatment It seems that the treatment of SPG members is hit or miss lately at a lot of Starwood Hotels. I travel a lot (15-20 nights per month) and recently "re-joined" the SPG program. I was a Platinum for 2 years before I stopped traveling and now am back at the Gold level. It seems everywhere I go there are so many Platinum members that there is noway a Gold member can get any special benefit and several hotels own staff have already made comments to the same. This one in particular denied me a bottle of water in my room. When I called the front desk one evening asking for my complimentary bottle of water I was told, "thats for the first night only." When I further pursued the "water" by stating I was a Gold member I was told by a gentleman (who's name I won't post here) at the desk that evening that They get over 140 Platinum members every Monday and he couldn't help me. That was the first time & last time I will stay at this location. Oh and did I mention the internet didn't work for three days of the 4 I was staying here? At a Hotel located near the heart of Silicon Valley? When we inquired why it wasn't working we were told to walk across the street to another hotel and use their free internet in their lobby. June 2, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by spg27 Good Stay, but something to be improved I stayed in Sheraton San Jose on May 26th. Overall this was a very nice stay, I used a suite night award certificate and got upgraded. The room was clean and quiet. My wife and my son like the hotel a lot. But there are a couple of things left to be desired: 1. The club lounge was closed on both May 26th and May 27th. When I checked in, I was notified that club lunge was on the 9th floor and I could use my room key to enter. So on the night of 26th, I took my son to visit the lounge, and couldn't open the door. So I called and was told it is closed for 26th but should be open in the morning on the 27th. So we tried again in the morning of 27th, only to find it is closed again. My son was quite disappointed. 2. I bought some milk from the hotel on the night of 26th, and noticed the expiration date was May 26th. I wanted to buy some more on the 27th, and noticed those expired milk were still on the shelf for sale. I notified the front desk and they throw those milk away, but there was not fresher milk available. So again, overall I enjoyed this stay, and would definitely come back. But I hope we will get a chance to see the lounge next time, and the more fresh food/drink will be available. May 29, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Dave45 Great staff & rooms Our family always prefers to stay at Sheraton hotels but this is our favorite. Great staff, nice rooms and being close to our family - a great location. May 27, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Jerry5 Front desk service The front desk was very profesional and acknoledged my status. I was treated great and would be back for this reason. The bar and the breakfast was not very good, poor service at the bar and the breakfast food was not so good. May 27, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by George my home away from home As always, I just spent 3 weeks at Sheraton San Jose in complete comfort, quietnessand privacy. Makes business travel much easier. Highly recommended. May 17, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by SpgFan Wished for whirlpool Everything was just fine. Staff were all super nice/friendly/helpful. Loved the pool. Super disappointed that there was no whirlpool. It looked like there was one from the pictures, and I wished I confirmed first with a call. I'd give this a five star rating if they put in a spa. May 14, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Alexander I love coming back there Was staying at this hotel for the last four years and love coming back. Rooms are big and clean. Staff is excellent: friendly, willing to accommodate every need and welcoming each time I arrive. Not every room has a work desk or a fridge, so you better ask for those at the check-in, if you need them. May 12, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by VincentL Not a Bad Stay Good hotel that is close to many business. Club Lounge is good, better than some other ones. SPG PLT upgrade to a suite was not automatic. Had to ask and agent stated that if there was availability. There was and he moved me to one, though with soem attitude. Other than that a good hotel. May 10, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by ecsharp Only place I want to stay in San Jose The staff is great, particularly Valerie and Ryan (Monday night front-desk staff). They show so much professionalism mixed with casual familiarity that it makes me feel more at home when I arrive. Always greet me with a smile, help me explore different options/promotions with SPG, make sure I'm well taken care of, and give me tips on things to do in SJC. May 10, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Jinks Comfortable business stay good location in the heart of the bay area. not a good location to get out in the evening during grid lock traffic but the hotel restaurent is nice. May 10, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by MAwestcoast Perfect hotel Perfect hotel, close to highway, great pool, staff was great and if you can upgrade to a cabana suite as you get private parking and a great room overlooking the pool. May 9, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by bal2 San Jose The service at the hotel was as expected; however, this survey is a pain. May 6, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Kentuckygirl Front desk staff were so helpful! We stayed a week, half was business and half was vacation. All of the front desk staff were so helpful, especially Tammy. We could not have asked for more. They gave us travel advice and directions to local sites. The maid staff was also very friendly. Our room was clean and the beds were very comfortable. The restaurant was closed during most of our stay so we had to eat in the bar, but other than that, the stay was perfect. May 2, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 Superb Sheraton i always stay here for business travel for San Jose and i always have a great stay and experience. the rooms are always clean and comfortable and i was very lucky to stay in one of the suites which what fabulous. The staff are incredibly helpful and happy. I like to think of this as a hidden gem. thank you again for making my recent business trip relaxing and enjoyable, April 16, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by 365RoadWarrior Much Improved I stopped using this hotel several years ago due to several disappointing qualities, including a hopeless fitness center, with poor equipment and short opening hours. The fitness center is now great, and other concerns have been resolved. Fine front desk staff and a nice Club Lounge. Facilities are clean and in good repair. Good SPG program recognition. Before leaving, I booked three more weeks. April 13, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Ray91 Nice rooms Great pool area and very nice staff! April 8, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by mbrad2 Helpful staff The hotel itself was comfortable and convenient. Large room, with a very comfortable bed. Room service was fast, and the meal I chose was surprisingly good (chicken quesadilla). But what really set this stay apart for me was the helpful, friendly staff. I was rattled upon my arrival at the airport to find that I didn't have my wallet; no way to pay for anything, although I did have ID. When I got to the hotel, the staff was gracious, attentive and supportive to help me get checked in anyway. They worked closely with me as I had a replacement card sent to me, and saw to my needs thru that process. I appreciated the personal touches of each staff member I dealt with. When I travel to San Jose, I'll stay here again. April 6, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Fanfoot Internet needs some work Internet is not acceptable for a business hotel. I often start out wired, that flakes out and I switch to Wi-Fi which for some reason then works. Still gets pretty slow in the evenings, they need to beef up the back-end. Also the Wi-Fi coverage is inadequate. I was on one of the preferred floors--8, and I still couldn't get a signal in various parts of the room. Other spots were fine. Needs work. April 5, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by ecsharp GET AN INTERNET BOOSTER! It is incredibly frustrating how bad the wireless internet connection is. Spotty, in and out, weak connection, and virtually impossible to stream video. After long days of work it is difficult to connect with any device (laptop, iPad, iPhone) and the signal drops constantly. It's really frustrating, especially given you're in the heart of Silicon Valley. You MUST make an investment to make this better. March 31, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by Ben2012 Good for Milpitas/Fremont Despite the hotel name, this hotel is actually closer to the Milpitas/Fremont area. There is a big Asian community in the area, with restaurants and shopping. Hotel is a bit dated, but the staff is nice and friendly. Right next to the freeway, so the noise level is high if you open the window. The club lounge is convenient and exactly what you would expect with its services. March 31, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by BusinessTraveler Unusable Internet The internet speeds are so slow, made it impossible to work from hotel. Tried both wired and wireless. In addition, the configuration with work space right next to TV is not business traveler friendly March 22, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by kevin31 Excellent Hotel for Business Travelers Because of Service I have been staying at the Sheraton San Jose Hotel every week for the past 5.5 months, and I am very happy with my stay. Mind you, this is a very simple Sheraton, but what the hotel lacks in location, high-end decor, they more than make up for it with their customer service. Everyone who works at the front desk, Chris, Jason, Tammie and others have made my stay enjoyable over the past few months. They are always there to take care of everything for you. Small examples, when I would check back into the hotel on Monday nights, any of my dry cleaning would already be placed in my new room. The staff is tremendous and I would like to thank them all for their great service over the past few months. March 12, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Texan Noisy In-Room A/C Unit It is very roomy and clean. The only issue we had was the AC unit, it is loud (sleep is distrubed) when it is on. March 12, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by virgo1273 Very nice room and staff Very nice room and staff. First time there, but I will return. February 4, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by Steelers123 Needs improvement No acknowledgement of platinum. No water of coffee replenished in room one day. February 2, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Bthai Recent Customer Service Experience at Sheraton San Jose This was my first time writing a hotel about a stay, and I feel compelled to just paste the letter I sent to the manager. Staff should come here for training: Dear Mr. Langley or Customer Service Representative, I recently stayed at the Sheraton San Jose Hotel in Milpitas and have to say that the personnel and the customer service they delivered was beyond expectations. I travel a lot and spend about 2 months out of the year in hotels, and I've never written about the service delivered by hotel staff, so this is a first for me. I was taken aback by the friendly, warm initial phone call to reserve my pick-up (I believe I spoke with Carol or Sharon). My ride to the hotel was entertaining and informative, as Ryan told me about things and sights to see in San Jose. He checked me in quickly and was also helpful when the printer jammed and greeted me and asked about my stay whenever we saw each other. The friendly and efficient service delivered by Kelly was also exemplary, as she set up a couple of taxi pick-ups for me on Sunday afternoon and then again for the following Monday. I didn't have to wait around, either -- just went about my business, checked later when I returned to the hotel, and everything was set up! The service staff at both the bistro and restaurant were also friendly and informative, but unfortunately, I forget their names. My decision to stay at the Sheraton San Jose was purely price-based, but, based on my experience this weekend, your property will be my only consideration whenever I'm in San Jose again. Thank you for a wonderful experience and I hope the quality of the service and friendliness of the staff will always be there when I happen to be around! Very gratefully yours, BT January 24, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Artie50 Business Stay Stayed here a night on a quick business trip. Wasn't there long enough to have much to say: Pros: - Clean, well appointed room - Nicely landscaped courtyard area with pond, pool, fitness center and spa Cons: - Internet was not free, this would affect decision for my next stay January 23, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by Punky Hotel need to improve internal communications Every time when I stayed at this hotel, and indicated late check out at 4pm when I checked in, often time at check out date, even with the "Do Not Disturb" sign on the door, I still get house keeping coming knocking on my door. And upon calling the front desk, they either told me they have no indication that the system has late check out, or they told me they have no idea why house keeping was knocking. This totally ruins the guest's rest, and the mood of staying there when this kind of screw up keep happening. January 22, 2013

A couple months ago I was raving to you about our web host WP Engine. While I'm still generally happy with them, they had a pretty big screw up a couple weeks ago. I worked with their support team, and we were able to find a resolution (though it took much longer than I would have hoped). All of the communications ran through Zendesk, which is "beautifully simple customer service software." It's basically a platform for managing all of the back and forth that is typically a part of delivering good customer service. Zendesk is based in San Francisco, CA, though they were originally founded in Copenhagen, Denmark in 2007 (they made the move in 2009).
There's a good chance that you've used Zendesk at some point. They currently work with more than 30,000 companies including Disney, Groupon, Roku, the Denver Broncos, Gawker Media, and Xerox. While those companies probably all have very different needs when it comes to customer service software, Zendesk is able to satisfy them all. You can learn more about how they do this by taking a Product Tour (you can see the experience from the perspective of the customer, the agent, and the manager). You might also want to read up on how some of Zendesk's customers are benefitting from the software. If you think that this world needs even better customer service, take a look at Zendesk's Careers page. There are a ton of career opportunities available including:
There seems to be something for almost everyone, so give Zendesk a look.

Kalkstein: shocked!
Mr. Kalkstein's insight amounts to a discovery that there is gambling at Rick's. As even a cursory familiarity with Clover's (or David Harvey's) writings reveals, he is hardly unaware of the demise of the gold standard. Indeed, he clearly intends it as part of the account of what happened in the 1970s—it is obviously linked to the collapse of the price signal. What Mr. Kalkstein will not uncover, with or without Hayek's help, is what led policy makers to resort to the Nixon shock in the first place. To learn that, he might reread Clover's piece.

Brian Roberts has returned to the Baltimore Orioles after being out for 13 months with a concussion. The Orioles planned to activate the two-time All-Star second baseman from the 60-day disabled list on Tuesday. He was penciled into the lineup at his customary leadoff spot against the Pittsburgh Pirates - although wet weather threatened to delay Roberts' season debut for at least one day. Roberts hasn't played since May 16, 2011. There were times over the past year when he wondered if he would ever live a normal life, let alone play another baseball game. Roberts fought headaches and dizziness for months before shaking off the symptoms of multiple concussions. Now, after going through a rehabilitation stretch in the minor leagues, he's ready to resume his big league career.

Fair point. It's not really clear how the GI's plan was going to work or what it was going to do. It's only in retrospect that removing the Doctor from his timeline poses cosmic implications.
I'm not sure the GI (or Moffat) quite knew how his plan was going to work either in fairness

I really liked the first book, Bras and Broomsticks, so
I figured that the sequel would be just as much fun. I
wasn't disappointed with Frogs and French Kisses, but I
don't think it was as good as the first one. The story was
interesting though and I kept wanting to know what happened
next. The ending also leaves room for the next book, which

Grown as a biofuel, sugarcane has a reputation for guzzling water and fertiliser. But it has a good side: compared to other crops, it cools the landscape.
Scott Loarie of the Carnegie Institution for Science in Stanford, California, and colleagues used satellite data to monitor the effects of sugarcane cultivation in the Brazilian savannah. They found that converting natural vegetation to crops warmed the area by 1.6 °C, but a subsequent switch to sugarcane cooled it by 0.9 °C. That's because sugarcane reflects more of the sun's heat and releases extra water vapour.
Loarie says that if sugarcane is to be grown as a biofuel, it is better to convert farmland – although this leaves less land for growing food, raising prices. Timothy Searchinger of Princeton University says that might lead to more savannah being cleared for food crops, so local temperatures would rise, not fall – something Loarie also emphasises.

Vine released a major update this week with new content channels and better camera tools.
Twitter's six-second looping video app Vine promised that it was going to have a "great summer" even with Facebook moving to compete by offering video on its photo-sharing app Instagram.
This week, Vine unveiled probably its biggest upgrades since the service launched in January, with new camera tools for creating better videos and social features that make the app more like Twitter.
The highlights:
Vine sharing on Twitter has fallen off since video on Instagram was released, but the new features should help content spread more quickly on the service. Better discovery tools should also make it more attractive to brands, who have already jumped into Vine , looking to make marketing content.

Car Parts Warehouse is a distributor of Zexel Car Parts. Zexel is a global leader in car parts manufacturing and developing. Zexel car parts have a complicated corporate history. Originially known as the Diesel Kiki company, the original body of Zexel car parts can be traced to 1939.
Today, the Zexel name is synonymous with diesel systems. Bosch bought out Zexel car parts and the official name of the former Zexel is Bosch Automotive. However, there are plenty of cars with components baring the Zexel name.
Zexel also makes climate components such as the Zexel AC compressor. The Zexel AC compressor has made quite a reputation for itself based on its silent operation and peak performance. The Zexel AC compressor and other Zexel parts can be found in popular brands such as Volvo's, Isuzu's, and Nissan's all over the US and worldwide.
Whether you are looking for a Zexel AC compressor, or a Zexel diesel part, we have it in stock. In fact, Car Parts Warehouse sells the same Zexel car parts as the dealership but at wholesale prices, directly to you, the consumer. We also personally warranty all Zexel car parts for 12 months/unlimited miles. This is additional feature for Car Parts Warehouse customers.
The warranty is the best in the industry because it covers all costs of shipping in case a claim is filed. Meaning, we will pay to ship you a new Zexel car part and pay to get the defective Zexel car part back. You will never pay a cent in shipping. Purchasing car parts at Car Parts Warehouse is much simpler comparing to the what other websites offers. With Car Parts Warehouse you can purchase car parts right from your home, using our online shop cart. So all you required is to enter the car manufacturer name, model and the year of manufacture to spot out the parts which you are looking for. Normally we would ship your products in three to four business days and if you have any issues in receiving your product, call our support team and let them aware of your issue.
You also get our award winning, US based customer service department to help you before, during, and after the purchase.

As you know, I'm not a proponent of prescription pain medication unless it is deemed absolutely necessary by a physician with advanced expertise treating a particular neuropathic condition.
Fibromyalgia sufferers can certainly relate. Many of the patients we treat here at Calmare Therapy New Jersey are opposed to using medication for several reasons–the debilitating side effects, the out-of-pocket costs and the end result, which is often disappointing.
Patients diagnosed with fibromyalgia (FMS) often choose to proactively seek out different complementary and alternative treatments. Since medications and surgery are rarely indicated, the use of safer (less toxic) alternatives has become widespread. About 50 percent of FMS patients report using these alternative treatments to help combat pain:
- Exercise programs
- Prayer, meditation and music therapy
- Support Groups (live or via the Internet)
- Chiropractic services and alternative treatments
- Vitamin supplements
Antioxidants are part of the repair mechanism for cell healing. Vitamin C is important for tissue repair and its concentrations are lowered in patients who have suffered a trauma.
Long used by athletes to speed wound healing and recovery after work-outs, vitamin C has now caught the attention of medical researchers, who are examining how this vitamin works and whether it is effective as a supplement for patients with fibromyalgia.
Often, FMS patients take individual nutrients for specific symptoms which were recommended by a doctor. Other times the nutrient is part of a larger holistic regimen that also includes diet, weight management, vitamins, minerals, and herbs.
The Myers Cocktail method of IV infused Vitamin C and other key minerals (including magnesium) is catching on and a big story in the news lately. While I don't personally endorse this treatment, I am mentioning in here because several of my patients who have undergone this therapy reported an improvement in FMS symptoms.
There is a large and fruitful healthcare community which is helping patients with acute and chronic pain with nary a drug in sight. From our beloved scrambler therapy to the use of vitamins and minerals, treatments with fewer side effects can offer relief from symptoms and pain.
But our medical community in this country still reaches for the prescription pad first. It is our duty, as holistic caregivers, to make sure patients are educated about other treatment modalities.

This is my first ever NARS product. This blush looked terrifying but for some reason it popped out to me and I bought it. I AM OBSESSED. I tap my brush really lightly then apply it to my cheeks, and gives me the most natural looking flush. Instead of digging around the blush pan trying to get pigment (and wasting the blush), get this because I know it will last me literally forever. I don't think I will ever hit pan!

One of the best products I've found. If I was stranded forever on an island and only allowed 5 makeup products, this would be one. I'm NC25-30 and this color suites me perfectly. I use it often when I'm in a rush. On the cheeks and dabbed on the lips with some lip balm instantly brightens and wakes up my face. I can't say anything about it that hasn't already been said. The color is very unique and very dense. I don't think I would ever run out, but I would buy it again if I did.

This seems to be a very polarizing product; people either love it or hate it. I love it! Not everything works for every person, but I'm just sharing my experience.
When I wear this, I literally just tap my blush brush lightly in it once and then apply it to both cheeks from that one tap. If I need to build it up more from there, I repeat, but usually that gives me a gorgeous natural-looking flush.
Because it's so bright and pigmented, so little is needed, and I know it will last me forever!
It's also great with red lipstick if you apply it with a light hand like I described.
It lasts a long time on the cheeks and applies nicely. I love this blush so much!

Woah~ After reading all the reviews here, I've decided to brave it and got Exhibit A. I've already own Nars' Orgasm, Taj Mahal and Torrid.
Wonderfully red without shimmer. It is just a red paint for the cheeks. Lightly applied, it is the most natural thing to see. Not like blush at all (the rest with shimmers will feel made up).
This can be worn often and for those quick (lightly does it) swipes during the weekend.

I've always avoided this blush because it looked so terrifying in the pan! Eventually, my curiosity won me over and I decided to give this blush a try.
I'm a very yellow NC25 and my skin tone tends to warm up any color, even cool-toned blushes. When applied with a skunk brush, Exhibit A looked nothing like I expected. It wasn't tomato red at all but more of a very soft, sheer coral with orange undertones. It looked SURPRISINGLY natural on me, like the type of healthy glow I get from running outside in the sun. (It didn't make me look feverish or sunburnt, but it can be built up to that level so be sure to use a light hand!) I can see this blush working well nude lips as well as with corals, reds, peaches and any warm lipsticks.
The staying power is SUPERB, so that part of the hype is true. I have oily skin that tends to gobble up blushes, but this one outlasted my expectations. I put it on at 8 AM, went to work for 10 hrs, went out to dinner, came back to my apartment at 11 PM and could still see this blush in the mirror! It wasn't as vibrant, of course, and probably faded by 50%, but I've never used a blush so tenancious.
As for cons, I was disappointed that Exhibit A didn't look more "unique" on me. It looks a lot like Tarte Blissful with a heavy hand, but I suspect that my skin tone just makes everything look coral or peach. I also dislike the packaging because it's not flat (why is it a rectangular shape merged with a UFO shape?!) and it's made of rubber, which attracts grime. To solve both issues, I keep it in the little cardboard box that it came in, so it's easier to store and doesn't get as dirty.

I love this blush because it makes me look like I just bumped into the most handsome man on the planet and got a little flushed. And with Exhibit A I get to keep that look all day!
I was in Sephora about a year ago buying a new foundation, and as always, I wanted to peruse the NARS blushes. I cannot go into Sephora with out visiting them, it is the makeup junkie's way of smelling the flowers. My eye was just drawn to Exhibit A, and the second I saw it I decided it was for me. Why? Because it looked like a challenge. So I put it on hold, went home and read reviews and went back to get it in the next few days.... and WOW!!! It is amazing. It is my first NARS blush and I am so, so in love with it.
When I purchased it I was only wearing it occasionally because I was watching all these tutorials with more of a peachy, coral look. But two months ago I put it back in my main makeup bag, and I cannot go back. This blush makes me look alive, and that is it. The light red gives me the perfect, flirty glow that I have been looking for. Yesterday I tried doing my peach blush (Milani Luminous) and I felt so boring. I really do not believe I will ever stop wearing this. EVER.
I have pale skin, blue eyes, and dirty blonde hair, and it is a great addition to my coloring. I cannot imagine it looking bad on anyone.

I love NARS blushes and I am proudly addicted to them. I bought this blush per the recommendation of other people online during the Cyber Monday sale and let me tell you, this blush is no joke!
I am an NC30 for reference with warm undertones. The texture of this blush is very nice. Not powdery or chalky, to be expected with NARS. The color of his blush in my opinion is a tomato red. I don't see any orange in Exhibit A at all. The color is scary in the pan and can look a bit 80's-ish if you apply heavily. Overall, this blush is one a kind. A red blush isn't for me necessary, but a nice color to have.
Now onto why I gave it 3 lipsticks:
This color in my opinion is not very versatile. I have yet to figure out a way to wear this blush other than with red lipstick or when I am wearing something red. I know that sounds very high school but I feel like it doesn't really click with my skin tone. I have tried to wear this with other color combinations like others have suggested but for some reason it doesn't really look right on me. This is the least used product I own and I force myself to wear it because it was so expensive. Upon earning privileges, I am thinking about putting this up for swap because I just don't use it. I suggest people try this on before purchasing it or swatching it. You might end up not using it. i give it 3 lippies because I just do not find that this color is versatile FOR ME. Others swear by it but for me it's an "eh". The reason I would repurchase this again would be for the sole purpose of having a red blush...other than that it's not my favorite.

I do suggest watching YouTube videos on how to apply this blush before actually attempting it yourself, as it is easier to add more on than to take it off. When used correctly, it blends into a beautiful and soft flush. It livens your face up, and on somedays even looks like a pretty pink blush. I use this very lightly on the bottom of my cheekbones as a semi contour and apply some shimmery bronzer on the apple of my cheeks. The after effect is a gorgeous, bronze slightly-sunburnt look that makes you look incredibly healthy and vibrant.

No, I hear you. I'm sure overall the build quality is good on the Braille and that my DOA was a fluke. I wouldn't be complaining at all about the battery itself, it's just the customer service that sucks. They've had multiple chances to sort this out and have consistently come up short and displayed a total "I couldn't give a fuck" attitude. What good is a one-year warranty if they don't actually stand behind it? I just hope your battery never fails, because it's apparently impossible to get them to actually replace it.

A combo picture showing Muhammad Firdaus one year ago (left) and Muhammad Firdaus at the Tuanku Jaafar Hospital, a few days after being rescued from a flat unit in Nilai.
SEREMBAN: Help is pouring in for disabled teen Muhammad Firdaus Dullah who was found in utter neglect and severely malnourished in a flat in Taman Semarak, Nilai, near here.
While Wanita Umno has set up the "Adik Firdaus Fund" with an initial sum of RM4,000, Sabah Chief Minister Datuk Seri Musa Aman also offered to help the 15-year-old who is originally from Sabah.
Wanita Umno chief Datuk Seri Shahrizat Abdul Jalil said the contribution included RM2,000 from the president of the Welfare Association of Wives of Senior Government Servants and Elected Representatives of Negri Sembilan (Pekerti), Datin Seri Raja Salbiah Tengku Nujumuddin.
Shahrizat and Raja Salbiah visited Muhammad Firdaus at the Tuanku Jaafar Hospital yesterday, Bernama reported.
Last Saturday, Immigration officers making checks to weed out illegals stumbled upon the boy with deformed limbs who was clad in a tattered and soiled T-shirt and covered in his own faeces and urine.
His 40-year-old mother, believed to be working as a helper in a catering company in nearby Sepang, is being remanded until tomorrow.
In Kota Kinabalu, Musa said he had directed the State Community Development and Consumer Affairs Ministry to see how they could assist the child.
Neighbours told reporters yesterday that they had not seen the boy in the last year, ever since his nanny Norfitri Radius, 42, moved out of the flats.
"She used to take him out on his wheelchair. But he didn't look anything like how he appeared in the newspapers," the neighbours said.
Workers at the shop where Muhammad Firdaus' mother went to for daily economy rice said she would pack two or three packets of "pretty substantial" food, accompanied by her other son, aged about five.
Nilai OCPD Supt Abdullah Roning dismissed talk that the mother was living separately from Muhammad Firdaus.
Tuanku Jaafar Hospital director Datuk Dr Jaafar Che Mat said the teenager could have gone without food for several months or been given inappropriate food.
He said no signs of injuries or abuses were found on Muhammad Firdaus.
"He weighed only 15kg when he was admitted. His condition is stable now. He will need further care," he added.
Bukit Aman D11 (sexual crimes, domestic violence and child abuse investigations division) principal assistant director Asst Comm Hamidah Yunus has warned that parents who commit serious child neglect face a fine of not more than RM20,000 or a jail term not more than 10 years or both, under Section 31(1) of the Child Act 2001.

I've only ever done a single session. I'm not sure doing a multisession would get you anything (I think the XBOX would ignore all but the last session.) Single sessions are always more compatible with most everything.
But I've never tried it for the XBOX so I guess I didn't really answer your question.

New Order - 'Lost Sirens'
It'd be a shame if this was really the original New Order's last wordMore on New Order
6 / 10 As the sad spat between New Order's founder members drags itself ever further down, you'd hope this companion to 2005's 'Waiting For The Sirens' Call' (originally planned as a double album) might give them pause to remember what they can do together. It's safe to say '…Sirens' Call' itself, while it has its moments, is no-one's favourite New Order album, and while these songs aren't really outtakes, the moments here are fewer. 'It'll Stay With You' is a strong start, classically chiming alt.rock in a 'Crystal' vein, with a vital spark that's lacking elsewhere. The disco silliness of 'Sugarcane' is cheesy as hell, but when the spirit is with them, they've made dafter songs sound like seeing the face of god. 'Shake It Up' cracks out some old-school NO beats and a 'Confusion'-daft refrain, but it all feels a bit superfluous. Completists can tick a box, but it'd be a shame if this was really the original New Order's last word.

WELLS: After more than 20 years, Blue Bell bologna is back
After an absence of more than 20 years, Blue Bell bologna is back.
For more than 60 years, Blue Bell meat, a product of the DuQuoin Packing Co., had made its way into the lunchboxes and onto the dinner tables of countless homes throughout Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Missouri and Alabama.
If you worked in the oil fields of Southern Illinois, chances are your lunchbox contained a Blue Bell bologna sandwich, a bag of Chesty potato chips and a Thermos of hot coffee. If you were a kid headed off to school, there was a pretty good chance that your Roy Rogers lunch box contained a Blue Bell bologna sandwich, a couple of iced windmill cookies and a bag of chips.
The Blue Bell brand disappeared in 1991 when the company filed for bankruptcy. A short time later, the facility went up in flames, ending a meat empire that was started by Jacob Naumer in 1924. In its heyday, the company employed as many as 450 people.
Now, thanks to a Lafayette, Ind., cattle rancher, the Blue Bell brand is making a comeback.
"We made our first delivery in April of 2011," said David Pearl, owner of DuQuoin Specialty Meats, LLC the new maker of Blue Bell products. "We went back to Excalibur Seasonings in Pekin, Ill., to find the original spice mixture. They dug up past accounts from back in the 80s and were able to duplicate the correct spices."
Pearl even had to reapply for the Blue Bell trademark since DuQuoin Packing had abandoned the brand after going out of business.
Pearl said the difference between Blue Bell bologna and the big name bologna is what goes in.
"We're cattle ranchers," Pearl said. "It's the quality of the meat input. Other brands have a lot of fillers and fat. Our bologna started out as all beef."
Now, Blue Bell turns out three kinds of bologna — German and Old Fashioned, which are all beef, and Family Style which is beef and pork. The company also turns out wieners, and its own selection of Wisconsin produced cheeses.
Work is under way to rebuild the old DuQuoin Packing Co. plant. For now, much of the company's products are processed under contract in a number of private label plants, including a small facility in Trenton, Ill.
"We had no idea of the depth of the market," Pearl said. "We essentially had to start expanding before we even started. The phones started ringing and orders started coming in."
At the moment, Blue Bell bologna and their other meat products are being marketed in about 70 stores across Southern Illinois — mainly south of Interstate-70. The company continues to grow, including inquiries about exporting opportunities. Once fully operational, Pearl said his company will have the capability to process up to 76,000 head of cattle per year — and that's a lot of bologna.
Does it taste the same as the original Blue Bell bologna?
David Pearl said, "Out of the thousands of pounds we've made so far, only two people have told us it didn't taste exactly the same — and that's after they hadn't tasted it in over 20 years!
