Rated 5 out of 5 by patty13 This hotel has an excellent staff. Every person I encountered from the moment I arrived to the moment I left was wonderful. They did everything to make sure my stay was a pleasant experience. October 31, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Starnight295 the staff was professional This hotel seemed very nice. I am a gold member and I was not clear on their specific poicies on an upgrade. Apparentally they did not have an upgrade on the last day of my stay so they would not give me one for the first 2 days.Although I had a nice room I thought I had one with a different view for my balcony.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Gregg792 Staff You have a great staff at all levels. very helpful when asked, helpful when not asked. each took responsibility and quickly helped or answered questions when I need them. Great Job October 24, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by abhspg smelly and old hotel It was very smelly hotel, everything you order in food item its smelly, all room are smelly and there are plenty of mosquitoes in hotel waiting for you. October 22, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by Quino The food department of this hotel is not up to SPG standards. Although the hotel overall is indeed a 4 star hotel the food areas are less than desirable for lack of service, lack of alternatives from which to select and bad service. This hotel is good for sleeping and nothing more. October 22, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by RJPJL Issues with the hotel We book a 2 room suite and when we got to the hotel they don't have any 2 room suite in the hotel. what they have is a larger room with a king bed and a pull out couch. My husband and I were traveling with my sister and we needed to seperate sleeping areas. We were stuck and had no ther choice. October 21, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by HamiltonJoe Not what we expected. Very disappointed in room location, were told we got a room with a view and balcony. Spent extra money for this and received a room overlooking roof top with lots of air cond. units. Were unable to sit outside way to noisy. Ask to move rooms within minutes of arriving and told we would get a phone call they would try. Still waiting on phone call. So much for my spending extra money on a room that I did not need for a balcony with a view. October 20, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by dick82 this hotel is close to airport and good shultte servic The hotel and staff are very accommodating they act on requests as soon as possible . The restaurant has good food and service . But now for the down side the air conditioning was set to low .If out of room had to wear jackets out side of that we enjoyed our visit October 19, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by MNR1407 Staff and Service Were Excellent The only problem I had was the mattress, when I woke up every morning my back hurt so bad it took me over two hours to get going. October 17, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Edward68 This hotel was one of the best weve ever stayed in We are spg gold members and was upgraded to a suite. Staying for three nights it was awesome having the extra room in a suite. October 9, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by eloc Cole's Had a great time in Nashville October 6, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Tommy2801 Unsecure I left my room on the last day at 8a.m. to attend a meeting downstairs in the conference room and left my packed suitcase and other items in the room as checkout was not till noon. When I returned at 10:30 I found my room door propped open by the house cleaning sfaff along with other doors to other rooms down the hall but could not find a staff member. This concerns me that they would open my room and leave it unsecure ans anyone could of walked in and took whatever they wanted and I am sure I would of been told the hotel is not responsible. This really concerns me. I notified the front desk and was told they should not have done that and he would ask the housekeeping supervisor. I don't know if he did or not. October 3, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by cianna The hotel needs ammenities added The hotel has no microwave or refrigerator for the room I had. Think those are items every hotel should have October 1, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by RDen Hotel service and experience has improved I've stayed at the Sheraton in years past for Tennessee State University Homecoming weekend and each year I was very disappointed in the service and how alumni were treated. My stay this year was so much better. Hospitality at the registration desk has improved greatly. My only concern was that there was no after party on Saturday night at the hotel following the football game. It was quite out of character for a TSU Homecoming weekend, especially following a victory. I was told that there was a lack of cooperation by the hotel. Therefore, no party to be had. Event facilities for the other activities were great. I just believe that the Sheraton should be more agreeable, considering the money that we bring to the hotel at this time. October 1, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by unpleasedguest Don't stay during an event I would not recommend this hotel based on our experience. There was an event during our stay (TSU Football Reunion) and we could not sleep due to the noise level. We were on the second floor and could hear people outside yelling past 2am. I was upset that we as guests could not sleep due to people that were not even guests were loud and inconsiderate. We could barely walk through the lobby during our stay because of this event; it was super crowded. There was traffic to enter the hotel due to the event (they asked if you were staying at the hotel and your room number), and we could not even find decent parking. Not cool when you are paying to stay, while everybody else is there for an event. Also, the hotel wanted to charge $8 for holding a package for me. I have never encounter that in any hotel. Luckily, they waived the fee. They said they would deliver the package to my room, and an hour later they delivered it (I assumed they forgot since so much time had passed). Housekeeping woke us up really early, so make sure you put your Do Not Disturb sign, because they will knock early. Overall, I would not recommend this hotel mainly because they seem to have events all the time (by the time the TSU event was over, there was another one happening) and I do not want to stay somewhere crowded and loud. September 30, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by Sheri80 Not the best experience My room was on the first floor. Had to drag my suitcase up a flight of stairs. No elevator. The room location was right by those stairs so all evening and through the night you heard people in the hall. Second night was a big event and at all hours people were yelling, running up and down the hall. Beds were bad. Like slipping in a nest. No support. Also could hear traffic all night. September 29, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Nupe Stay at the Music Sheraton Decent hotel but the rooms needs an update September 29, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by GrandDad Check In On arriving, there was one couple ahead of me in line. There was two employee's at the counter. Chad was checking in the couple ahead of me. The young lady with reddish hair was on her cell phone and never made an ofter to assist or check me in. Chad did a great job when I got to the counter. September 22, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by JnJules4PSU SHeraton Music City Great weekend; Dallas Cowboys in town; busy but staff took care of everyone. Close to everything and quiet. September 15, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by DocApril Great conference site I attended a two-day conference which was very well organized from all standpoints. Food was delicious and healthy. Breaks also were nutritious, in spite of its proximity to the airport, the noise of planes was not disruptive. And I liked the option of no maid service to be environmentally responsible. I have always thought it wasteful to change linens on a daily basis. September 14, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by EUGENE41 Military Ball We stayed here for my wife's Military Ball. The room was clean and comfortable. The staff were polite and attentive. They made are stay very enjoyable and we will definitely be coming back. They rate was great for Nashville, TN. Shuttle services were provided to downtown. Hotel was beautiful, quiet and relaxing even though there were multiple events going on. September 9, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Knox16 Good staff Club lounge needs help Staff are excellent and try to assist. Hotel is normal Sheraton. Club lounge is too small and outside patio overlooks air conditioning units on a roof. Local newspaper, Tennessean, is not available except for sale. September 9, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by BrianAugust Not what was expected or promised I booked a Club Room for my four day stay recently. I was a bit surprised that the Club floor was being renovated and that rugs, furniture, etc. were strewn about the hallways without any notification and without any effort by hotel staff to even acknowledge the inconvenience created by the mess. Because of the renovation, I was also placed the furthest from the Club Room, which made it very inconvenient to visit the Club Room due to the hotel size, and, even more troubling, I was notified that the Club Room was closed on the weekend. I've traveled a lot in my life and stayed at many hotel brands and found my stay to be somewhat of a bait and switch -- no notification of remodeling, no use of the Club Room on weekends, etc. I've never responded to one of these surveys before so I am not a complainer, but my experience was not the traditional experience of a Starwood hotel. Brian September 2, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by James65656565 Almost a 10 SStar Had a great experience here over Labor day weekend 2014 and all I can say is awesome. The staff, the transportation the amenities awesome. Direct tv thumbs down September 1, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Knox16 Typical Staff very friendly and helpful. Club lounge small and uncomfortable chairs. more like stools Not meant for people to relax there. Lounge food is average and not special. No sauce for chicken wings Again nice staff who got the USA Today which was missing from lounge. Should have Wall Street Journal too along with Tennessean which is local paper August 30, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by AC00712 staff was unavailable longest wait times I've ever experienced trying to call someone at the front desk. At one point I timed it and it was 7 minutes of ringing before anyone picked up. Ridiculous. August 29, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by kicknit01 falling apart The hotel needs work. The bathroom had mold on the ceiling. My A/C cover randomly flopped off at midnight and made a loud noise waking people up on the floor. The ice machine on the floor also didn't work. The indoor pool had a hot tub, but you could visibly see mold on the drainage area. August 29, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by jwb1 Short stay Was only there for the sleep. Did not have an opportunity to use any of the hotel facilities or restaurants August 23, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by FloridaNative1 You'll like it here - we did. My daughter is a student at Vanderbilt University and this is our third long term stay here after 3 previous stays at the Sheraton Nashville Downtown. While we always enjoyed our stays at the pricier Sheraton Downtown, we've found that the Sheraton Music City offers a comfortable, quality experience, not far from downtown and at a much friendlier rate, especially when you consider parking is free here versus @ $25 per night downtown. The staff here is professional and very friendly - they understand the hospitality business. I've always felt at home here. They provide excellent recognition to SPG Platinums and have been very open to reasonable requests to make our stay more comfortable. The pool / patio area is quite well landscaped with a fountain and beautiful flowers and trees. The club lounge, public areas and gym are within / above standards and while we were here, the hotel was undergoing a soft goods renovation of the rooms. Smoked salmon on the breakfast buffet was an unexpected, welcome touch. For an airport hotel, the property is quite spacious and feels secluded. Yet it really is convenient to BNA and downtown. As a weekly traveller and SPG Platinum, I highly recommend the hotel for location, customer service and value. August 22, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by 19Debbie This was the most awful stay ever Recommendation #1- if doing an overhaul or renovation in your hotel post signs asking guests to pardon your appearance. for this they will be more tolerable Recommendation #2- Do not place a guest in a hotel room that is at the very end of the hall that you are renovating. They may trip and get hurt falling over the laundry carts full of old carpet or furniture left throughout the hallway. Or their fall could be broken by one of the many mattresses you have lining the hallway. Recommendation #3- Never try to compensate the guest by insulting their intelligence or their wallet by offering two drink tickets. It won't fare well with the guest and they will not return to your hotel. recommendation #4- When One Direction is in town for a concert make sure your contractor has cleared the hallways of his materials so guests won"t see his mess. Or better yet, sacrifice the rooms and close them off to the public. August 21, 2014

Reply from Bramble BerryHi Ashley! I'm so glad you love the smell of our Sweet Pea Fragrance Oil! Though, I'm sorry it accelerated so much on you. In our tests and recipes we did find this fragrance resulted in mild acceleration, which is common for floral-type scents. To help slow this down, take 1 oz. (basically equal amounts of fragrance oil to fixed oil) liquid oil out of your recipe and heat it up to 100 degrees. Then, add your fragrance into this oil. This simply dilutes the fragrance oil's initial acceleration. You can also add the oil/fragrance mixture earlier than usual. Rather than adding the fragrance at a thick trace, you can add it at the first sign of thin trace. Always hand stir the fragrance/oil mixture in with a fork/ladle and never, ever use a hand blender for problem oils. Lastly, raise your temperatures to about 110 to 115 degrees. This will help to keep your mixture more liquid than at a lower temperature. If it does start to rice you can try using your stick blender to help smooth the soap out as seen in the Soap Behaving Badly blog post. I will email you personally to help troubleshoot!
Reply from Bramble Berry Hi Rene! I'm sorry this fragrance wasn't your favorite. We choose all our fragrances based on how they smell after 4-6 weeks of curing in cold process soap, as they do smell different out of the bottle. If you're looking for fresh scents, you may like Sweetgrass Fragrance Oil or Lettuce Fragrance Oil.

Remember Me
Herren is nothing if not proven. In the past year alone, Prefuse 73 has been asked to remix TV On The Radio, Pelican, BLK JKS and Cornelius, not to mention his early collaborations with School of Seven Bells and Battles. These interactions have helped to shape the evolving Prefuse 73 sonic aesthetic, which has expanded to include Herren's twisted visions of prog-rock, "machine funk" and global psychedelia.
For Everything She Touched Turned Ampexian, Herren rejected the idea of straight digital recording and instead went the much more intensive route of recording to analog Ampex tape, giving the album the sound of a lost tape of exploratory studio musicians from the not-too-distant past. In addition to the recording process, Ampexian also differs in its composition, existing as a tapestry of tracks of varying lengths and moods, albeit with a linear flow and rhythmic bump.
Everything She Touched Turned Ampexian will also mark the beginning of three-album release cycle for Herren, as he will release two other efforts in Spring 2009 under his various monikers. He follows Ampexian with his newly minted Diamond Watch Wrists's (featuring Zach Hill from Hella) Ice Capped at Both Ends LP also via Warp in April. Then in May, Herren will follow up with a new Savath y Savalas release, La Lama, on Stones Throw.

YEAH PREFUSE!!!! keep up the amazing work!
rip it up 73
this album is really good, any prefuse fan will love it I only listened to it once so far but I'm gonna go out on a limb and say its his best work. Still tho I wont go see this guy live ever again his sets that I have seen never really caught a flow that well and he really seemed like he didnt want to be there.
yes fucking awesome
maybe he will do an extensive US tour now !
saw him play with rjd2 and the biscuits in chi town, he was fucking sick.
this album is definitely one of his strongest to date. pure goodness. If you haven't checked him out live, make a point to get to the party.
Prefuse is sick. He needs to have a headlining tour.
Saw him at the Gem & Jam in Tucson...funky hip-hop at its finest!!
I love the smell of fresh vinyl!
dont know how to feel about them.. havent seen them.. i just dont want to crowd to be like the one in the first video when indeed i do see them..looked like no one was moving around at all.. sounds intriguing though
You guys that say you've seen him in the last year, know that you saw him just stand there and tell some other dudes what to do. He does nothing anymore. Not knockng hte music or the record, but WTF? He did it at the Trinumeral party in Miami, then even quit early. He did it in ATL for NYE. The list goes on and on.
getcha some 73!
Does he spin real vinyl???...or is it all digital sampling???
I'm so glad and surprised to see jambase report on this. It pisses me of that everyone know about Bassnectar, and way better artists slip by unnoticed just because he gets marketed to the hippy kids who go to festivals. As far as the live shows go I saw a good one last july in new york. Not every performance can be your best, but I have never scene Mr Herron do anything but kill it.

COVINGTON - With four days notice, Eastside freshman Sage Allen went from junior varsity to the No. 2 135-pound wrestler in Class AAA.After an incident at the Burnt Mountain, Allen was thrown into the spotlight, having to wrestle in the Area 8-AAA traditional duals. "When we got back to school that Monday of area we said, 'Hey you're wrestling,'" Eastside coach Michael Blakeman said. "We had confidence in him. We've always known what his abilities are. We knew he was going to be good when he was in middle school." After taking third at area, Allen qualified for state, finishing seventh in the AAA East Sectional. Most freshmen might feel a little intimidated being in front of a big crowd, but not Allen. He was able to muster confidence from his teammates and remain calm. "I was glad I was going to state. I was talking to Joel (Stafford) and he said it would be a good match. I wrestled hard," he said. His first match at the state level was against No. 2 seed Cesar Santana from Druid Hill. After beating Santana 15-4, Allen pinned his next two opponents, setting him up in the finals. "The kids he wrestled up unto the finals weren't as technical, they use more muscle," Blakeman said. "He knows how to approach those matches so he was able to use his techniques and his ability to counter them." Allen again showed his cool composure, watching match after match waiting for his turn. Of the 14 matches, his was the final one of the night. "I liked the final match, people thought I was nervous. People were saying I could make it to the finals and that motivated me," Allen said. Even though Allen was on the mat by himself, he had a lot of help preparing for the matches between area and state. "I practiced with Dalton (Bragg). He pushed me real hard at practice and talked to me," he said. "He was like, 'you don't know how proud I'd be of you if you placed at state.' I tried as hard as I could." Making Bragg an even bigger part to Allen's success then a training partner, is the fact that Allen took Bragg's spot on the varsity team. "Even though (Bragg) was in the situation he was in, a lot of kids would say I don't want to be here. But they're buddies and he did what he had to do to help (Allen) prepare," Blakeman added. By being able to not break under the lights, Allen played an important part in helping Eastside achieve their second wrestling title. Allen earned 20 points for the Eagles who beat LaFayette by 15 points, 204.5-189. "A lot of freshmen get in that position and they get nervous, being in The Arena (at Gwinnett Center) and the big stage. If you take his points away we don't win. Him being able to wrestle smart and not let the pressure of the big stage get to him is huge. He had to do what he needed to do. They all did," Blakeman said, "If any of those 10 not doing what they did, if they had done one match less, there's a great chance we wouldn't have finished the way we did. "He's much better in the bigger tournaments than he does in the small tournaments. The small tournaments he doesn't take as serious the bigger ones."

In early December, when I drop by Bill Wittliff's office just off Sixth Street in the heart of Austin, he is, as he puts it, "a little busy." On his desk are stacks of notes for two screenplays he is writing for major studios—one about the building of the transcontinental railroad, the other about the Spanish conquest of Mexico in the sixteenth century. Next to those stacks is a screenplay about a runaway slave; although he has already sold it, he feels it could use some polishing.And those are just a few of his projects for the day. He tells me he needs to take some time to peruse the first copies of his new book, Boystown: La Zona de Tolerancia, which have just arrived. The book is a collection of riveting photographs that Wittliff began gathering in the mid-seventies from itinerant Mexican photographers who took pictures of sad-eyed prostitutes and their drunken, leering customers in an unnamed town just south of the Texas-Mexico border. Then, for a planned book of his own photographs, he needs to spend a few minutes flipping through some of the eerie, slightly blurry black and white portraits of bullfights, cowboys, and religious statues he took with cameras that he jury-rigged himself to diffuse light in startling new ways.
Of course, he can't attack any of these tasks until he finishes talking with the woman seated on the other side of his desk. She is Connie Todd, who helps him oversee his two collections housed at Southwest Texas State University in San Marcos, just south of Austin: the Wittliff Gallery of Southwestern and Mexican Photography, with around 8,700 photographs, and the Southwestern Writers Collection, which includes, along with historic manuscripts and first drafts of novels, such Texas literary memorabilia as the white suit worn by J. Frank Dobie when he gave lectures, the old Smith Corona used by Larry L. King to write The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas, and a book of lyrics written by Willie Nelson when he was eleven years old.
Dressed in his favorite uniform—blue jeans, a button-down shirt with a fish print, and white tennis shoes that always look nice because he never runs in them—Wittliff pulls at an unruly tuft of gray hair flipping over one ear and starts to discuss upcoming exhibits with Todd. Yet the phone never stops ringing, and Wittliff often picks it up on the first ring. There's an agent, a writer, a real estate broker, a lawyer. "What's going on?" Wittliff says every time, genuinely interested in what the other person has to say.
Suddenly, the front door opens and in walks a struggling young photographer who just wants to say hello. Wittliff stops everything, gets up, offers the photographer a few minutes of reassuring conversation, then walks him back to the front door and shakes his hand good-bye.
"You know that this is the way he operates every day," says Todd, who was Wittliff's personal assistant for sixteen years before she began working full-time on the collections at Southwest Texas State.
"And he still gets everything done?" I ask.
"I feel a little sick to my stomach," I say—a reaction that Todd assures me is not unusual among self-absorbed, pseudo-artistic types who, upon meeting Wittliff for the first time, begin to realize just how little they are accomplishing with their own careers. Wittliff is Texas' Renaissance man, as versatile as a utility infielder in baseball. He is a writer, a photographer, a book publisher, a film producer, a book collector, a historical archivist, a pen-and-ink artist, and according to his closest friends, a poker player of such skill that he could make a living on seven-card stud alone if he ever decided to move to Las Vegas. And now, at the age of sixty, he seems to be hitting his stride. Although Wittliff has been revered in Hollywood circles since he wrote and produced 1989's Lonesome Dove, the Emmy-winning television miniseries based on the Larry McMurtry novel, he is finding himself inundated with offers from producers and directors, thanks to the success of last year's film The Perfect Storm, which he wrote based on the Sebastian Junger book. (So far the movie has grossed more than $340 million.) He was asked to write the screenplay about the transcontinental railroad, for instance, at the behest of Martin Scorsese, who plans to direct the film, and Steven Spielberg, who plans to produce it. When he let it be known that he wanted to write about Spaniard Hernán Cortez's conquest of Mexico, various studios immediately began bidding for the rights to produce it. "Let me tell you, it's not only rare for someone at the age of sixty to be at the top of the screenwriting game, it's almost unheard of," says Bud Shrake, a novelist and screenwriter and Wittliff's longtime friend. "Very few writers age sixty or over can even make a living at screenplays. There's Larry Gelbart, Elaine May, William Goldman, Bill Wittliff—and that's

Microsoft has announced an update for its Xbox Live Terms of Use (TOU) that covers what data the company can share with partners that publish applications, like ESPN or Netflix, that require a separate user account.
"If you choose to link this account with your Xbox Live account, we confirm key data points across the accounts by sharing data such as your name, address, email address, and date of birth with the partner," Microsoft said. "In this TOU update, customers agree to allow Microsoft to share this information in this manner."
Microsoft's current Xbox Live TOU, effective July 2013, states that the company can share certain personal data points with partners, though the updated TOU appears to broaden this.
The new Xbox Live TOU also addresses account security. Microsoft's new terms ask users to commit to keeping their contact information up to date and secure.
"Protecting your account from unauthorized access and fraud is a top priority for us. It helps keep Xbox Live safer and more secure for everyone," Microsoft said.
Microsoft also advised users to make sure their account security proofs are valid and accessible. The updated Xbox Live TOU will roll out later this week.
Microsoft said earlier this month that, "We do not collect information to share or sell. You are fully in control of your personal data. Your privacy is important to us."
The Xbox One launches on November 22 for $500.

Stars sign C Jamie Benn to $26M, 5-year contract
Updated: January 24, 2013, 11:28 PM ETAssociated Press
DALLAS -- Jamie Benn and the Dallas Stars agreed to a $26.25 million, five-year contract on Thursday night
The All-Star center gets $5.25 million each season, with the first year of the deal pro-rated because of the NHL lockout. Dallas announced the move during its game against the Chicago Blackhawks.
The 23-year-old Benn was a restricted free agent who set career highs with 26 goals, 37 assists and 63 points for the Stars last season.

Hard to fault this tyre. Lively and durable. The walls hold up far better than some other leading brands.
22 August 2014 by
these are an excellent al rounder tyre - never give us any trouble
17 August 2014 by
These tyres added 3 km/hr to my riding speed. They have very good grip in most conditions. Outstanding value.
1 August 2014 by
Great tyres for Australian roads and at a good price.
4 July 2014 by
This is the second set of these tyres that I have ordered from pro Bike Kit.
I rode a little under 3000km's on the previous set.
Delivery took about two weeks from when I placed my order.
As for the tyres, I find them to be fast, grippy and puncture resistant. I did not have a puncture on my previous set in all of those km's while most of the rest of my group have had several over the same period.
These tyres have a wear indicator, and I decided to replace my previous set when I noticed that the indicator on my rear wheel had just about worn away.
I highly recommend both the tyres and pro Bike Kit.
**My email address not for publication please**
18 June 2014 by
best tire for the price, all the guys I ride with have them , would not ride on any thing else. do recommended them to every one.
17 June 2014 by
These are a great value for money tyre, whether for winter training durability or fast rolling for summer racing.
13 June 2014 by
The only tyres I've rolled with for the last 4 years, these are a cut above the rest. Great longevity, road holding power in wet or dry, puncture protection, pay the extra and give yourself peace of mind. They won't disappoint.
8 June 2014 by
Continental Grand Prix 4000S Clincher Road Tyre would have to be the best Tyre on the market for the price and value... i get around 10.000 kms out of set Tyres... and i would not dare to change from this product .....
7 June 2014 by
I love these tyres. They offer so much grip compared to others and they never flat. Long lasting to boot.
5 June 2014 by
Excellent all weather Tyre.Reliable and unlucky if I get one puncture a year.
Would recommend also a good winter Tyre.
5 June 2014 by
The Captain
I have used the Continental Grand Prix 4000S Clincher Tyres for some time now. I seem to get very good wear from them and I am keen to try the newer Continental Grand Prix 4000S II Clincher Tyres next time.
Cheers Nev
4 June 2014 by
Great tyres been riding for a yr now best tyres ever and great price thank pbk
30 May 2014 by
Best road tyres that I have used. Durable and fast
20 May 2014 by
Just ordered my second set of 4000s continentals ( for my second bike) The first set still running well on my Bianchi after 12 months - averaging 200 - 250 ks a week. Tempted to get the new 4000s11 but a bit expensive compared to the great price of the4000s from probikekit
17 May 2014 by
I am very happy with these tyres, great grip and puncture resistance and a very long life
14 May 2014 by
my favourite tyres. sticky, solid, dependable and a smooth quiet ride. can always count on my conti's.
21 April 2014 by
Excellent grip on wet and roads. Long lasting.
21 April 2014 by
The postage from PBK took twice as long than wiggle and ribble. That is my only criticism.
18 April 2014 by
I have tried a number of different brands over the years and also some other types under continental. The GP4000S have proven their worth by providing low puncture rate and nice and grippy, I am yet to try out the new 4000SII but I highly recommend these tyres.
18 April 2014 by
Conty GPs are the best value for money in the market place
16 April 2014 by
I ride everyday both commuting and training and these tyres serve me well in all seasons. They're light and fast and wear quite well (and at a great price)
15 April 2014 by
Clocked up over 1000 km on the tyre and all good, especially at the discounted price!! (which is why I bought a few!)
15 April 2014 by
Great price for the GP4000S road tyres. Now superseded by the GP4000SII but still a great tyre to ride and race on.
8 April 2014 by
I have tried all the brands over the years and these are the best. They provide excellent grip and are long wearing, as well as being puncture resistant. Rather than wait till end of week to buy from a shop, I order on line from PBK and they are here by the weekend. Great work.
6 April 2014 by
Fast, reliable and puncture resistent. I have been using these tyres for over a year now, having upgraded from Gatorskins. I Ride ~250km per week and yet to have a flat. Great for everyday use and i have raced on them as well. I wouldnt buy anything else... Perhaps the 4000s-2 when the price comes down!
5 April 2014 by
As always great tyre long wearing punctures nil.
5 April 2014 by
Perfect tyres.
I experience least punctures on these GP's.
Long lasting, nice grip and feel.
2 April 2014 by
These tyres are great value and make riding a real delight with a super smooth and grippy ride.
1 April 2014 by
Bought these before and will again!
Great traction, roll well and light!
Great all rounder
31 March 2014 by
Big guy
As always, these tyres meet all expectations. Roll really well, good endurance (over 2000km on my last pair). Best value for money of all tyres.
31 March 2014 by
Have been buying these tyres for the 5 years I've been doing triathlons. They have got me safely and puncture free through all my events. Have the confidence in what I'm riding on and longevity is great.
No hesitation to recommend.
31 March 2014 by
top quality product, my staple training tyre
30 March 2014 by
Have always stuck with these tyres as have little dramas with flats and they ride well on the road. not the lightest tyre getting around, but on an average of 200 - 250 kms a week they wear well
13 March 2014 by
It is a very good product. I've started to stock more for the future.
6 March 2014 by
Great durable Light weight tyre. Easy to change.
26 February 2014 by
These tyres have been working a treat for me. They have no cuts or nicks in them after doing about 1000km and look like they'll last a lot longer. Much more reliable than the Evo's I have previously.
26 February 2014 by
a friend suggested that i try these tyres, and i haven`t been disappointed,they are great tyres heaps of km, roll fast, great tyre for all types of riding .
25 February 2014 by
Could not more highly recommend the Conti GP4000S tires, Great rolling resistance and grip, even on a wet road. they survive the usual crap on the road that attacks your tires, mileage .... I am getting around 4500 K's around Tasmania and they have only just reached there wear indicators.
23 February 2014 by
The Continental GP400S tyres are fantastic - I have tried a few other brands - I wouldn't change now I have been using them for the last 3 years. A great balance between puncture protection, good wear on the coarse bitumen in Qld and low rolling resistance . I rode 10,000km last year and no punctures :-)
19 February 2014 by
great tyres. felt soft, but definitely strong grippy and light.
18 February 2014 by
Excellent quality tyres, fold up nicely for carrying on long rides. Easy to fit. friends have had excellent mileage, I hope the same.
18 February 2014 by
Big Baz
These tyres are fantastic as soon as I bought my bike I replaced the original tyres with GP4000's as I have had them before and they are outstanding performance tyre.
Don't be fooled by the negative comments they won't let you down and rolling resistance and the way the tyres stick to the road when cornering is firs class.
28 January 2014 by
GP4000 are a great choice, really dependable, long lasting and value for money!
28 January 2014 by
This are great tires. Excellent durability, grip and low rolling resistance. Highly recommend.
25 January 2014 by
Can't fault the Conti 4000S for puncture proofing. I have tried most of the competitor products but at the price the Contis are far superior. Consistently good for many years now.
21 January 2014 by
Kev White
I have ridden these tyres now for a couple of years they have very good wear resistance , excellent puncture protection and excellent grip for down hill swoops
20 January 2014 by
The GT 4000 are the best in the market and the best price here, if you dont mind the waiting time from Australia.
Well done Prokit and keep the deals coming
20 January 2014 by
Great tyre for all conditions. They are a good all year round performer that give you confidence when going downhill.

Deckers Outdoor breaks out above its 10-day moving average, levels to watch
The shares have broken out above the 10-day moving average, which may be a delayed reaction to a note from Jefferies on Friday that the company could be an M&A target. As we are seeing with many beaten down stocks, bounces in such names are outsized relative to other stocks, which could indicate short-covering. Resistance is at $33.98, a recent pivot high. Support is at $32.35.

Corey Robin: The Question of Palestine at Brooklyn College, Then and Nowtags: Palestine, Corey Robin, Hannah Arendt, Brooklyn College, Zionism, BDS
Corey Robin is an American political theorist, journalist and associate professor of Political Science at Brooklyn College and the Graduate Center of the City University of New York.
In 1942, Brooklyn College hired a young instructor to teach a summer course on Modern European history. Though academically trained, the instructor was primarily known as the author of a series of incendiary articles in the Jewish press on Jewish politics and Zionism.
An active though ambivalent Zionist, the instructor did not shy from scorching criticism of the movement for Jewish settlement in Palestine. She had already come to some unsettling conclusions in private. In an unpublished essay, she compared the Zionists to the Nazis, arguing that both movements assumed that the Jews were "totally foreign" to other peoples based on their "inalterable substance." She wrote in a letter that she found "this territorial experiment" of the Jews in Palestine "increasingly problematic." By the spring of 1942, she was more public in her criticisms. In March, she wrote that the Irgun—the Jewish paramilitary group whose most prominent commander was Menachem Begin—was a "fascist organization" that "employed terrorist methods in their fight against Arabs in Palestine."
In the coming years, despite her continuing involvement in Zionist politics, she would grow even more critical of the movement. The very idea of the State of Israel, she would write in 1943, was "based on the idea that tomorrow's majority [the Jews] will concede minority rights to today's majority [the Palestinians], which indeed would be something brand-new in the history of nation-states." In 1944, she accused a circle of Jewish fighters of believing "not only that ends justify means but also that only an end that can be achieved by terror is worth their effort." By the end of that year, she had come to the conclusion that the extreme position within Zionism, which she consistently associated with fascism, was now the mainstream position of David Ben Gurion, and that that fascist tendency had been latent within Theodor Herzl's original vision all along. By 1948, the year the State of Israel was founded, she would write: "The general mood of the country, moreover, has been such that terrorism and the growth of totalitarian methods are silently tolerated and secretly applauded."
The name of that instructor was Hannah Arendt.
If Brooklyn College could tolerate the instructor who wrote those words in 1942—and would go onto write those words of 1944 and 1948—surely it, and the City of New York, can tolerate the co-sponsorship by the political science department of a panel on the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement in 2013.

plexity that affect the national immunization system, and then reviews examples of success and problem areas.
Key areas of change affecting the national immunization effort include (1) the immunization schedule, (2) the nature of infectious disease, and (3) population demographics.
Ever since the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) offered the first immunization guidelines in the 1930s, scientific developments have led to regular changes in the recommended immunization schedule. The rate of change has increased dramatically in the last decade and is likely to continue accelerating in the next 20 years (see Figure 2–1). Between 1938 and 1985, five vaccines (three childhood and two adult) comprising nine different antigens were available. In the next 15 years, the number of recommended vaccines more than doubled.
To complete the current harmonized childhood immunization schedule,1 children must receive 15 to 19 doses of vaccine before 18 months of age and a total of 19 to 22 doses to be fully immunized by the age of 6 (see Figure 1–1 and Table 1–3 in Chapter 1). During some office or clinic visits, the administration of 3 or 4 separate injections is indicated. Adolescents are to receive a tetanus shot between ages 11 and 15, as well as measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR), varicella, and hepatitis B vaccinations if these were not administered at a younger age.
Immunization recommendations for adults have recently changed. The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) currently recommends that all adults over age 50 receive an annual influenza vaccine (CDC, 2000a). One-time pneumococcal immunizations are recommended for all adults age 65 and over (although ACIP is considering a proposal to lower this recommendation to age 50). Both influenza and pneumococcal immunizations are recommended for anyone below age 65 with certain high-risk conditions, such as heart and lung disease, diabetes, and a compromised immune system. In certain situations, depending on age and health status, adults are also advised to receive hepatitis A, hepatitis B, tetanus, diphtheria, measles, mumps, rubella, and varicella vaccinations (see Table 1–3). Meningococcal vaccine is now recommended for college students, especially those living in dormitories.
Repeated changes to the immunization schedule in the last 5 years foreshadow the exponential changes anticipated in the future. These recent changes include the following:

There's so much for moms to do in December. In addition to finishing homeschooling, there's baking, shopping, wrapping, tree trimming and decorating.
I encourage you not to go it alone! Let your family help. Let your younger children get involved, too. It'll be more fun, and you'll be making special traditions and precious memories along the way.

Company is coming over in an hour and you have suddenly entered the panic zone. Dessert somehow was left out of otherwise well-thought-out plans. And now there seems to be no way to beat the clock.
When your stomach is turning, would-be host or hostess, where do you turn?
A.Commit hara-kiri because you are going to lose face.
B.Pay the kid next door to go to the bakery.

They traded a guy who they projected as a middle reliever for two guys they projected as plus starters. I didnt have a problem with the trade then, and I dont now.
We all know the Reds have to develop starting pitching if they ever wish to be competitive. They traded a reliver who has much more value on a winning team for two arms they felt they could develop as starters.
Bong is injured so the jury is out and Bubba is now making progress as a closer. Even if Bong becomes a fairly effective Lefty out of the pen and Bubba a decent closer/short reliver, its a trade worth doing.
Without Reitsma the Reds are not very good, with him the last two years, they still are not real good. So, save a bit of jack and take a chance on two young arms.
Nothing to see here. Please disperse.
I always thought that trading Reitsma away was a big mistake.. yes the guy had some bad outings but the guy can pitch and he would have made are starting rotation alot better than it is now.I wish we could get him back some how or another Reitsma was always one of my favorites and I always thought he had good talent and still should be pitching for the Reds.
I can spell,I just can't type!!
It is? 900k then 1.5 mill? That isn't over money, but trying to get starting pitching. DanO's first trade appears to not be leaning at those ends however and that is the reason why people complain. Nelson seems to "let go" much like Gagne in the Bullpen making himself much more effective over a 1-2 inning span.Originally Posted by Mutaman
the Reitsma you're seeing now in Atlanta, you wouldn't see in Cincinnati. the Reds developmental staff is inept incarnate. had Nelson and Bong stayed in Atlanta last year, they would have been fine. never mind that Bong at the time was considered a 4/5 rotation starter or a good BP candidate. BA called Nelson 'a stud' at the time of the trade. oh yeah, Nelson's current success is because he figured out the Reds developmental staff are idiots.Code:Bubba Nelson Age Level ERA IP K/BB BB/9 K/9 H/9 HR/9 WHIP 22 AA 4.08 53 2.92 2.04 5.94 10.36 0.85 1.38 22 AAA 7.09 59.2 1.73 3.92 6.79 11.16 1.81 1.68 23 AA 3.78 16.2 4.00 2.70 10.80 8.10 0.54 1.20 Jung Bong Age Level ERA IP K/BB BB/9 K/9 H/9 HR/9 WHIP 24 RK 12.00 3 1.50 6.00 9.00 9.00 9.00 1.67 24 AAA 5.82 94.1 2.10 2.96 6.20 11.26 1.24 1.58 24 CIN 4.70 15.1 1.10 5.87 6.46 9.98 1.76 1.76 25 DL

yes, this really is how we make our living.
Here's the thing for me: I would always be very wary about trading for pitchers or trading pitcher to the Braves. They're too good at evaluating pitching talent. How often do you see a P get traded from the Braves that turns out to be any good? And conversely, how often do you see a pitcher get traded to the Braves and then he gets good (or good again ala Mike Hampton)? I would almost never want to trade pitchers with the Braves.Originally Posted by deltachi8
Ws.. Nah. Todd did not say anything that has not been discussed on this board in great detail. Every year there is always a soap opera or two in baseball that all players discuss. Right now the Reds are one of the topics. A lot of players from a lot of teams did not expect the Reds to play so poorly. Jones and I also talked about the Mets and their up and ndown pattern. Just talkin's baseball.

Or it could be small sample size!
I think it has much more to do with what an orginzation does with a pitcher AFTER they obtain him from the Braves and vice-versa.
Nothing to see here. Please disperse.
I'm all for getting more pitching. It ought to be the number one priority. But you don't give away one of the few good arms in your organization for pitching. You trade outfielders and infielders to get more pitching. Why is this so complicated?Originally Posted by Aronchis
which would you rather have?
a guy who projects for middle relief.
a guy who projects as a 4 starter or middle reliever, and a guy who projects as a number 2 or 3 starter or closer

But in addition to narcissism, the desire to have multiple plastic surgeries often ties in to borderline personality disorder, where sufferers have difficulty maintaining relationships, and body dysmorphic disorder, where a person becomes obsessed with a minor or imaginary flaw with their body.
"They have a real false sense of what they see in the mirror," said Seppinni.
"Many of them will tell you that when they look in the mirror, they won't look in the mirror unless it's from the neck down," she said, with the person only looking at the part of their body they need to.
"Even though, physically, they've changed [after surgery], they don't see the change, and that's why they continue to move forward with other surgery. They really have a distorted body image."
But the bigger issue, said Seppinni, is how narcissism and an addiction to drama that is common in reality television, affects viewers. It shows, she said, a lack of concern for the message to young women.
"That [a reality TV star] is a person where you have to ask what would you do if your life was productive? What would you replace the drama with?" said Seppinni.
Pamela Noon looks like a woman 20 years her junior. But it took Noon, who is in her early 60s, over 20 year to complete the transformation -- and she says it's not over.
Noon has had over 26 cosmetic operations on her face and body, as well as over 80 maintenance procedures, such as botox injections. Some of the procedures she has undergone include liposuction, multiple face lifts, brow lifts and rhinoplasty.
"I think [cosmetic surgery] is fairly addictive, because if you do something that turns your life around a little bit, particularly the way you look, you automatically feel better about yourself and are on to yourself every time you see something you should attend to. I'm definitely a work in progress," Noon told the New Zealand Weekend Herald in 2003.
But plastic surgery experts say there could be underlying psychological forces driving people who go to extremes with plastic surgery procedures.
Matarasso pointed out that people who feel they need to constantly perfect themselves physically through surgery could be showing signs of obsessive compulsive disorder, a need for perfection, or an inability to deal with aging.
"No matter what, they're never happy," Matarasso said. "But if [plastic surgery] is minimized to the point of going shopping, they are no longer looking at it as medicine. ... This is real-life surgery with health, welfare and safety complications. You can't take this lightly."

She remains a recurring character (though seen fairly frequently) until Season 10, where she appears as a regular and even gets a 'character' graphic in the opening titles. Unfortunately, Bebe Neuwirth wanted to focus on Broadway so in Season 11 she's back to being a recurring character - although she still has some major storylines, which I won't spoil (although they have implications for 'Frasier'). In my opinion, Frasier and Lilith *make* the post-Diane years (along with great stuff from Norm and Cliff, of course). Sam, I really think loses a lot without Diane; he just seems to be an over-sexed, one-note character who is constantly chasing skirts.

The period from early 1940 to the end of 1942 was a time of gloom and uncertainty for the British, who stood alone against the assembled might of the Axis powers. They badly needed a champion, and were to find this in a small force of soldiers who inspired them with a series of daring raids against the coasts of 'occupied Europe', becoming the heroes of the British public and of the British Prime Minister who had created them. This title explores the wartime history of the British Army Commandos whose bravery did so much to raise the morale of the British public during World War II (1939-1945).

Hiring the right Contractor
As with AC installations and Pool repair/installations winter time is always the best time to negotiate for good deals! Contrary, you will find the best time to negotiate with gutter installation companies is in the summer, we have found you could save upwards of $1 per linear foot on cutter installation in the summer. Doing your homework is critical to the success of any home improvement project.
Make sure whoever you hire is reputable and reliable. We keep book on who is good in town, and if you are ever in need of a reputable trades-person we would be happy to help. Some of the most common recommendation we are plumbers, electrician and roofers, but we have some very specialized tradespeople. For instance we know of a tile grout cleaning team! The tile grout cleaning team comes to your house and literary scrubs your grout by hand with a wire brush and some special cleaner. The end result is stunning and makes almost any grouted floor look like new! We also have a variety of specialty contractors of almost every application. If we don't have a recommendation for you we can reach out to our network of contractors and if it exists, we will help you find it.
Here is a funny video we found re-enforcing how important it is to hire good people who know what they are doing!
Let us know if you have had any really amazing experiences with contractors here in San Diego, and we also would love to hear if you have any really BAD experiences as well.
Common misconceptions about selling your home
When pricing your home for sale many factors are considered including location, size, amenities and ultimately…supply and demand. However there are many common misconceptions around selling real estate and I wanted to share with you my top 4 when it comes to selling.
1. Price high to expect low offers - – This is the most common myth and backfires more often than not. In San Diego we are fortunate to have a strong demand to our real estate offerings and likewise of list to sales price disparity is very low. Buyer and agents are looking at price very closely. The first 10 days of a listing is by far the most important time, not only are your exposing your listing to the mass of buyers "in the market" but first impressions on price are important too. If you expire your active buyers "in the market" you are only left with buyers coming into the market who often are not as motivated as someone who has written three offers and has been looking in your area for months. If your home is overpriced and not in line with the neighborhood not only will your home not sell, you will be assisting in the sale of others people's homes.
2. Throw some grass seed down and paint the front door red - This is the second most common myth about selling your home is do some minor upgrades and forget the big stuff. You always want to make sure you address any major issues that might come up in the inspection to ensure a smooth process for the buyer and help to ensure a smooth close for the seller. For showings prior to contract, buyers need to envision themselves in your home and your goal should be to make the space as neutral as possible. I make the analogy of a nice hotel suite with very neutral feeling. De-cluttering & De-personalizing can help the buyer feel at home.
3. Discount Realtors, For Sale By Owner, Flat Fee MLS – This is the third most common myth. You may think you can sell your home yourself, maybe your can?, maybe your cant?. It's true, Realtors don't work for free but often times their value collectively is realized by sellers after the transaction is completed. I'm all my years selling homes I have never once had a seller tell me a charge too much and almost every times I am able to quantify my value in actual numbers to the seller. Selling a home takes a lot of time and expertise, the exchange of a few words could have a significant impact on the bottom line.
4. Not every offer is a winner – Don't get offended if you receive a low offer. It's your agents duty to present each and every offer to you. Some buyer will make very low offers because that is how the want to begin the negotiation process. It doesn't take long to figure out if they are a serious buyer or not.

El Cajon real estate prices cool off in January
What a year 2013 was for the El Cajon real estate market. Prices rose on average 7% in El Cajon according infosparks market analysis, but cooled off towards the end of 2013 amidst the Holiday season. Historically January and February are the busiest months for new listings in El Cajon and the entire county. Buyer should note with the recent drop in sales price and increased inventory, now is a good time to start looking to beat the springtime rush and minimize the risk of running into a multiple offer situation which rarely benefits the buyer.

As the weather cools downs it's a reminder property taxes are coming due. There is some confusion over when property taxes are actually due. The tax collectors fiscal year starts on July 1st and tax payments are made on a semiannual basis based on the properties assessed value.
First payment due November 1st
Late after December 10th (10% penalty after)
Second payment due February 1st

LaDainian Tomlinson's Poway Estate - Back on the Market
Everyone can remember the times we were blessed with the presence of Mr. LaDainian Tomlinson here in San Diego. As quickly as our star runningback left San Diego, his home still sits on the market in Poway after a long and drawn out listing. The star's home was originally listed in the fall of 2011 with an asking price $5.2MM and has since been relisted and reduced down to $3.75MM.
LT's compound is located 18755 Heritage Drive in the Heritage community of Poway. The home is spread over 13+ Acres (yes that's over a half million sq foot lot) which is comprised of two contiguous parcels. The home has a ultra-tropical setting with resort style pool, slide and waterfall. The owners spared no expense on developing this property with upgrades that include a custom theater, full sized lighted basketball court, wine cellar, massive outdoor kitchen with ample seating for entertaining and of course his and hers walk in closets.
Currently there are 13 listings in the Heritage ranging from $1.5MM-$20MM.
There has been 6 Sales in the Heritage in the past 6 months ranging from $1.95 to $9MM.

Recipe by MICHELLE LONG
"This is a very different yet wonderful way to serve crab. Everyone I have ever served it to was pleasantly surprised. Living in the NW we love our crab. You can use blue cheese instead, if you can't locate Stilton."
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

1/4 cup
1/2 pound
fresh mushrooms, thinly sliced
1/2 cup
white wine
12 ounces
cooked crabmeat
1/4 cup
chopped green onions
1/4 pound
seedless red grapes, halved
4 ounces
Stilton cheese, crumbled
Very rich, but good. I used the blue cheese and it was a little strong, so would use a little less if I made again, also less butter & wine.
I left out the grapes since I forgot to put them on my shopping list....this was still a winner. My guests raved about it and I was asked by three people for the recipe already.

I used frozen/thawed crab meat (leftovers from a king crab feast), used finely minced red onions instead of scallions & I used a white stilton w/ apricots. We were both very skeptical of this recipe but it was very good. I served it in martini glasses, garnished w/ a couple of ruffly lettuce leaves & wafer crackers, shaped like butterflies. Heated up the leftovers, the next night, by moistening it all w/ a tad more melted butter & wine & then nuking it for a minute. Wsa just as good as the night before! Thansk for the recipe Michelle Long...we enjoyed it!
