Rated 3.9 out of 5 by 487 reviewers.
Rated 4 out of 5 by jeeplover A very lovely sheraton This hotel is very lovely and well maintained. The staff was genuinely friendly and helpful. The King room was clean & larger than expected. The only downside was the heating mechanism. It was very loud and would go on and off throughout the night. And the bedding is very soft with big feather pillows and a heavy feather comforter. If these 2 issues don't bother you, then this place will work for you. December 5, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Mary16 What a great Staff Your staff could not have been more accommodating. From check-in to when I check-out. Love the new look. December 4, 2012
Rated 3 out of 5 by smitty16 POOL CLOSED When I travel 1 thing I look for in a hotel is a nice pool. When I arrived at the hotel I found out the pool would be closed for almost all of my 4 night stay because of a leak in the roof. That was very disappointing!! December 4, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by Becki33 Disappointed about the pool My husband and I stayed here for 5 nights and for the last 3 of them their indoor pool and hot tub were broken. We would have loved to be able to relax at the end of the day soaking in the hot tub after a long day of sight seeing. Expected more for a hotel like this. December 3, 2012

Rated 1 out of 5 by NYBeela First and Last Time I don't even know where to begin so I'll start with getting out of my taxi. There was one other guest who was being taken care of by the valet, which left two staff standing outside chatting while I struggled to get through the door with my luggage. The door is not automatic and I had to pull it open. Had it been a push to open, it would have been fine. After I dropped my one suitcase and almost fell over the other to get through the door, one staff member asked if I needed help. Seriously? I don't expect to be treated any differently than other guests because I have Platinum status, however, at least treat me with the same courtesy a human being deserves. No greeting, just a look and a "I need to see your ID." I asked if there was an upgrade available, as that is a benefit of the SPG program and was told there wasn't due to a wedding, which was understandable. The Preferred/Platinum staff did not tell me where the Club Lounge was located, the hours, or explain any other "perks". The numbering of the hotel was very odd. I know how to count, I know my numbers, and all I can say is that they need to renumber or color code or something so they don't see wandering guests looking all confused. The room I was in was in the very very back, in a tiny wing. It was a large room with comfortable beds, and clean. The heating/cooling was terrible and made a lot of noise every time the AC or heating kicked in or was adjusted. Each time I called the front desk, the staff sounded like I was interrupting their time on Facebook or something. I had simple questions which I could not find the answers, therefore the call to the front desk and concierge, such as "Are local calls included?", "Is the complimentary breakfast in the Club Lounge or the restaurant?", "Is there a shuttle to the airport?" etc. It did not matter who answered the phone. Even when I went to ask in person, it was the same attitude. I had a late check out for 4:00 pm, however when I came back from exploring around 1:00, found my key wouldn't work. It was a bit annoying to walk all the way to my room to find out, walk all the way back to the front desk, then go back up again. Yes, exercise is good and I'm not lazy, but still...an annoyance. The location was a redeeming quality, as well as the housekeeping staff who were very friendly. I will not stay here again, unless the management retrains their staff. Customer service is what ruined my stay. November 13, 2012
Rated 2 out of 5 by BG00 Room problem My room (4083) was overall OK. But, the bath tub had an obvious hole in it! The fitness center had several broken treadmills. November 13, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Ken04 A great experience This was my first time staying at this hotel. I was attending a wedding nearby. The check-in was completed quickly and the staff very friendly. I attended a breakfast the following day at the hotel and besides the delicious food, the service was exceptional. I definitely want to stay at The Sheraton Society Hill again. November 13, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by chasaruba3 Close to everything you need to see This hotel is within walking distance to historical Philly. We stepped out the door onto cobblestone streets into history: Franklin, George Washington, the Liberty Bell, all within a short walk The satff was great, especially the valet who was extremely helpful.. November 12, 2012
Rated 1 out of 5 by BRENDA907 NOT A PLEASANT EXPERIENCE I WAS NOT IMPRESSED WITH THIS HOTEL AT ALL. FROM THE VERY NOISY HALLWAYS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT, WHILE TRYING TO GET SOME SLEEP, TO THE EXESSIVE PARKING CHARGES WHICH WE WERE NOT INFORMED OF. I WAS NOT INFORMED OF THE CHARGE WHILE BOOKING THE ROOM, OR AFTER CHECKING OUT. I WAS TOLD BY ANOTHER FRIEND WHO CHECKED OUT BEFORE ME. AFTER I DID NOT SEE A PARKING CHARGE ON MY FINAL BILL, I INQUIRED ABOUT IT. I WAS THEN TOLD YES, SURE, THERE IS PARKING CHARGE, SO SINCE I PUT MY ROOM ON MY CREDIT CARD, THEY WOULD HAVE JUST ADDED THE CHARGES AFTER I LEFT, WHICH I FEEL IS DECEPTIVE. I WOULD HAVE THOUGHT MY FINAL BILL WAS WHAT WAS ON THE PAPER IN MY HAND, NOT $40.00 MORE THAN THAT. November 12, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by FCity1 Enjoyed my stay The room was comfortable and clean. The only downside was the absence of refrigeration. I have a medical condition that requires me to keep some meds in a cool, but not freezing, place. It would have been more comforting not to use ice. I expect to return to other Starwood facilities. November 10, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by Johng629 This hotel was excellent!! We schedule an after Wedding breakfast the next day and the head waiter did not usher my guest to the special room they set aside and they are charging me for more guest that ate breakfast .Imagine,there were an estimated 60 people staying at the hotel and they are charging me for 80 people. I would like to know where the other people came from. Perhaps they did not check who were the wedding guest? November 8, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by PhillyLove1020 Wedding Night Hotel My now husband and I were married in old city and selected the Society Hill Sheraton as our gathering place after the wedding and wedding night location. The bar Taste, connected the the hotel, was a lot of fun and accommodating to our large group and the hotel services themselves were fantastic. The rooms were comfortable and clean, while coordinating the event the hotel's employees were responsive, quick, and friendly. I would definitely stay here again and recommend the experience to others. November 4, 2012
Rated 3 out of 5 by TbMj Hurricane We recently stayed during Hurricane Sandy. We arrived prior to the Hurricane and had to extend our stay longer because of the hurricane. The rooms were very nice, but did lack a microwave or a refrigerator. Our room was in the very corner of the hotel so it was a long walk to the only elevator. If you are a tourist and want to be near Independence Hall... this hotel is within walking distance. We were from out of town and was hoping to be accommodated because of the Hurricane and wasn't. November 3, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by chrissyrainbow Hurricane Sandy We had just returned from a vacation to Niagara Falls where we stayed at Sheraton on the Falls in Canada. Upon return we were evacuated from our home on a Barrier Island during Hurricane Sandy. We needed to relocate quickly, the reservationist found us a great room at a great price. Everyone at the hotel was more than accomodating. Having access to the Starwood Club room was a big bonus since all nearby restaurants were closed. The staff and general manager all made themselves known to us and were very friendly and sympathetic to everyones situation. Almost all of the guests were evacuees. November 2, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Phili1sttimer Staff was terrific at this hotel. Location and the availability of an offered special were the reasons we decided to try this property. We were very happy with the location...only a few blocks from Independence Mall. It is in a quieter area than some of the other conveniently located hotels, too, which we found pleasant. The gentleman who checked us in at the desk gets an A++ for professionalism, friendliness, and great service. We found the rest of the staff good too. Rooms looked very clean. I had wished there was a small fridge or microwave in the room for convenience, but the way things worked out the lack of these amenities wasn't much of an issue. I absolutely love that the property is 100% smoke free - getting stuck in a smoking room is a deal breaker for us and when all rooms are nonsmoking you don't have to worry about that happening. There was a wedding one night we were there and it was noisy...the walls seem not very soundproof and we could hear not only the wedding music into the night but clearly heard conversations of the people in the next room, but this was not enough of an issue that it would deter us staying again in the future. Overall, very happy with our choice to stay here. All properties near the historic district are expensive but this wasn't any worse than others in the area with the special they were offering. If an affordable room was available on our next trip we would stay here again in a heartbeat. Unfortunately, I have forgotten his name, but to the gentleman working the check-in desk late at night on October 24th, thank you! Your customer service skills are outstanding and contributed much to our high level of satisfaction. October 29, 2012
Rated 3 out of 5 by Ken302 Dirty Bathroom Dirt and hair on floor and sink in bathroom. Towels seemed old and not changed out . Actually disgusting . Other than that the restaurant is nice for a cocktail . The door staff is very understaffed for any event . It took 40 mins. to get my car from the valet. The valet is $40 for a night !!!) unreal with the cost of a night in this semi-nice hotel in a very nice area of old city Philadelphia. Bottom line, bring flip flops and your own towels for the bathroom experience. October 29, 2012
Rated 3 out of 5 by Mcnuss Pretty Blah Hotel is fine...that's about it. It looks like some things were recently renovated, and those areas are nice but other things were just overlooked. For example, the elevators are shabby & beat up (and smelled funny) and there is no automatic door at the front, so I had to juggle my briefcase & suitcase to even get inside. There was never a doorman to be found & I came & went several times. The room was comfortable and about as corporate as a room could be. It had a strong chemical/detergent smell that gave me a headache. Also, each time the a/c came on, it was like someone started a jet engine. All together, a perfectly fine stay, but nothing special. October 28, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by CYLA Great location and staff This hotel was located a few short blocks from the river and minutes from the local bar scene. The staff were dead-on when recommending places to eat or must-see places in the area. The next time I am in Philly, I will definitely be staying there. October 27, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Ed1414 Marvelous staff The concierge, front desk, bell men, restaurant workers, and a manager were all extremely friendly and so helpful! What a remarkable group of people! October 26, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by Bugs1 Liked the decor very much Enjoyed staying at the Sheraton Society Hill very much. It is a great location. I really liked the new look of the hotel. Pictures were very nice. Mattresses were great. Enjoyed drinks in your bar. October 24, 2012

Rated 3 out of 5 by adamj ok but not great teh staff was good but was not very helpful with directions to local landmarks. Not helpful at all with finding a restaurant in the area. The hotel dining is NOT child friendly, beware!! October 22, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by Diane2012 Great location Sheraton Society Hill is a great hotel in a great location. Staff are attentive, helpful. Food was very good. Heating/cooling unit malfunctioned in my room. Rebuildt replacement not much better. Maintenance needs attention. October 21, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by meandmore Nice place . . .if you don't mind being a bit away from the centre of things. Clean and quiet. I wanted to have a "late" check-out (only 2 hours!) and they wouldn't/couldn't accommodate my request, which was inconvenient for me. October 21, 2012
Rated 3 out of 5 by ConcernedGuest This hotel has problems On the second day of my stay, the housekeeper asked me if I was checking out. I replied that I would be staying for 2 more nights. She indicated that my room was slated as a checkout on her paperwork. When I went to the front desk to address this issue and attempt to prevent the wonderful housekeeping staff from having to do additional work, the staff member was rude and snippy. On the third day of my stay, my room became unbearable humid. I informed the front desk that I have asthma and it was very difficult to breathe in my room. I was informed that maintenance would be there to address the issue immediately. My roommate stayed in the room to await the arrival of the maintenance individual. Over an hour later, I went back to the front desk to inform them that maintenance had still not arrived. The staff was extremely apologetic for the inconvenience and contacted the individual once again. Shortly thereafter, I was informed that the problem had been fixed. In reality, it appears that the only thing the maintenance individual did to alleviate the problem was to turn the air conditioning down to 60. Raising the temperature in the room to a comfortable level, for example 70, cause the humidity issue to arise one again. Thus, in the order for me to be able to breathe while in my room, it had to be miserably cold. I was extremely disappointed in the lack of concern that was shown in addressing this complaint.

text: The good news is that the Summer Suns played a really great second quarter, outscoring the Blazers 33-13. It was spectacular. Diante Garrett made all five second-quarter shots for a total of 12 points and a +23 point differential while he was on the floor. The bad news is that all that wonderful play was superceded by an NBA press conference that no one watching this game cared about. So I missed it. Bah. Instead, we got to see the Blazers win the first period 24-19, and then hang tough in the third quarter making it a close-enough game that Suns fans must have been wondering how their team even had a big lead.

One of the best pieces of spiritual advice I ever received from a spiritual director was to pray for anything that I desired, even if that desire seemed sinful. It was a kind of "prayer shock therapy," designed to break through dualistic thinking patterns and begin integrating prayer with life as we actually experience it, rather than as we might wish it to be.

Taking the advice of a friend, I have maded a modified SRAD (Single Run Ammonia Digest) emulsion. I then UF washed it using the method I've been developing.
In my first tests without sulfur sensitization, this emulsion raw, is as fast or faster than the ISO 40 emulsion I've made before, so when I chemically sensitize it with sulfur or sulfur+gold, this beast should be at least ISO 100, or maybe higher.
As George Eastman said.... "pray for the emulsion".
I'll be testing it against a raw version of the previous emulsion. We shall see. I may have goofed but I may have a new emulsion.
I am preparing a post on my hybrid Kodabromide / Brovira emulsion if anyone is interested.

It's still unknown if a blown-out flip-flop was to blame, but "Cheeseburger in Paradise" singer Jimmy Buffett was released from a Sydney, Australia, hospital on Thursday (January 27), a day after taking a terrible tumble from a concert stage in the city.
The 64-year-old Buffett fell face first off the Hordern Pavilion's stage on Wednesday night after an encore performance of his song "Lovely Cruise," shocking onlookers as he lay unconscious for 10 minutes on the floor while security and medics attended to him. He was hospitalized and underwent a CAT scan that showed no serious damage, according to reports.
A message on the laid-back singer's official website assured fans, "Jimmy has been released from the hospital and is doing well." An earlier message about the stage slip read, "As you probably already know, Jimmy had an accident while performing in Sydney last night and was taken to the hospital. The doctors say he is doing well and will be released tomorrow. More info as we get it, and thank you for all of your well-wishes!"
A rep for Buffett told USA Today that he will need a few more days to recuperate, though, so his planned gig on Saturday in New Zealand has been canceled for now. "Just needs some time to get better," the unnamed spokesperson said. The singer will have plenty of time to do that, since his next scheduled show isn't until April 16 in Tampa, Florida.
The fall was not only scary for Buffett, but for the fans in attendance. "We were in the 10th row, and it looked like he did a massive face-plant after his encore and pretty much didn't get up," concertgoer Dan Bateman told The Daily Telegraph. "We were told to leave the premises. No one really wanted to leave because everyone was anxious to know if he survived the fall. Everyone was pretty horrified."
The set was one of Buffett's first performances in Australia in two decades. Wednesday night's show was a late addition after the singer capped off two sold-out dates at the Sydney Opera House. The event occurred on Australia Day, which commemorates the founding of the nation, and Buffett reportedly packed the set with tributes to the festive occasion.

Review By Mike Chambers - April 9, 2007
A clean install of Windows Vista Ultimate was performed, which began with changing the BIOS boot order setting to boot the PC from the DVD-R/W drive. Next, the 32-bit version of the Vista install DVD was inserted into the DVD-R/W drive before saving the BIOS, at which time the system automatically rebooted.
Start time is 3:29pm.
Following the reboot, data continued to be read from the install DVD and loaded to the system. Once complete, I was presented with a graphical user interface (GUI) that featured a sleek desktop background. At this point, the product key was entered and the install continued.
A listing of available hard drives was then presented on which to install Vista. Hard drives can be partitioned and formatted at this time. Here the GUI is a step above Windows XP and the interface to the FDISK-like functions has been simplified.
Note that an earlier install of Vista, which I no longer wished to use, was detected on the HDD. A message appeared which stated that all data for the current operating system would be saved in a directory named "Windows.old".
Over the next 10 minutes more files were read from the DVD, copied to the hard drive and expanded. Two additional reboots took place and the install was complete. The install automatically configured a boot menu, which now appears whenever the system boots up. The default option is to boot to Vista with an alternate option available to boot to a previous version of Windows.
After setting the date, time, and time zone, Vista requests that an administrator account be created. The computers performance was then checked (see following image) and the login menu appeared. This step took around 4 to 5 minutes.
Finish time is 3:55pm.
I began installing Vista at 3:29pm and was logging on some 20 minutes later at 3:50pm. After automatic updates were downloaded and applied, and a subsequent reboot, I was ready to use Vista 5 minutes later at 3:55pm.
This was a good point to take a system backup. After running Disk Cleanup for all users and deleting non-essential files, I was left with some 8.6GB of data to backup. Although Vista Ultimate features a number of backup applications such as Basic File Backup and Restore, Shadow Copy, and System Restore, I used True Image Home from Acronis.
In about three minutes, True Image Home backed up and compressed the data on the Vista partition to a 3.7GB backup file.
The integrity of the backup was tested by actually restoring the previously saved Vista partition. The restore took approximately seven minutes to perform.
During the course of working on this article, Acronis released two patches that fixed bugs with Windows Vista. However, I continue to experience a problem with True Image Home when restoring Windows XP from a backup. When this is done, the boot menu that had been set up by Windows Vista no longer appears and the system boots to Windows XP automatically.

Indoor pesticide exposure: here we describe the detection of and risks of exposure to pesticides applied indoors in buildings. We discuss methods to reduce indoor pesticide exposure as a step in improving health and indoor air quality in homes. Our page top photo shows an abandoned pesticide bottle found during a home inspection.
When we find old pesticide containers indoors we caution home buyers that a previous owner may have been applying chemicals without proper expertise. Read the label and use pesticides as directed.
Green links show where you are. © Copyright 2015 InspectApedia.com, All Rights Reserved.
Pesticide Indoor Exposure Hazards & Health Effects
This article includes excerpts or adaptations from Best Practices Guide to Residential Construction, by Steven Bliss, courtesy of Wiley & Sons.
Watch out: OPINION: don't panic about insects or bugs that you may see on or around your home.
A single bug like the one shown at left (clambering around on our garage door) does not merit a declaration of chemical warfare. Most insects seen on or around homes are harmless and should not be attacked.
The health risks to humans from overdoing chemical sprays and treatments applied in a panic can be significant.
Worse, misapplication of pesticides inside the home can lead to serious indoor health hazards for the building's human or pet occupants.
On the other hand, as our photo at left (termite mud tubes) illustrates, even with care to avoid or fix building leaks (a key attractant to classes of termites, carpenter ants, and other wood destroying insects), is not always enough.
Sometimes it may be necessary to consult with a professional pest inspector or pesticide applicator. See INSECT INFESTATION / DAMAGE for details about preventing or correcting problems from wood destroying insects.
As stated in Best Practices Guide to Residential Construction:
Studies indicate that up to 80% of most people's exposure to pesticides occurs indoors and that measurable levels of up to a dozen pesticides have been found in the air inside homes.
Because of its widespread use for over 30 years, more than 80 percent of Americans already have traces of Dursban in their bodies, according to the Centers for Disease Control. Another study found Dursban in the carpet dust of 67 percent of homes surveyed.
Also, remember that a pesticide found "safe" to use today may be determined to be unsafe tomorrow. Chlordane, the most widely use termiticide for decades, was banned in 1988 because of its toxicity to humans and its persistence in the environment. It was largely replaced by Dursban (chlorpyrifos), an organophosphate.
Dursban became the most widely used pesticide in the United States until it was phased out starting in 2000, along with the popular pesticide diazinon, because of the risks they posed to humans, especially to the growth and nervous system development of children.
Health Effects of Exposure to Pesticides
Our photo (left) shows drill marks we found in the rim joist of an older home in the Hudson Valley of New York.
As we explain in detail at INSECT INFESTATION / DAMAGE, these drill marks were evidence of an amateur attempt at pesticide application: the location, irregularity, angle, and other details of these drill marks made us nervous.
We tested a sliver of this wood and found that it was still contaminated with Chlordane - misapplied on the building interior.
There are nearly 900 pesticides registered for use in the United States. Nearly all are at least moderately toxic to humans and pets and many are highly toxic.
Symptoms of overexposure to pesticides include irritation to the eyes, nose, and throat, headaches, blurred vision, nausea, loss of coordination, muscular weakness, and damage to the central nervous system, liver, and kidneys.
Every registered pesticide has a "signal" word on the label, ranking the level of toxicity to humans, as follows:
Some of the more problematic pesticides used in and around households include:
How to Reduce Indoor Exposure to Pesticides
When possible, the best approach is to find non chemical approaches to pests. When chemicals must be used, choose the least toxic option, and use it outdoors, if possible, and away from areas used by pets and children who will track it back into the house.

Reader Question: How can we get rid of an annoying mothball odor in our Condo?
We moved into a condo, which is a concrete block structure 3 months ago. Shortly after the move we began to smell moth balls. After following the smell we were able to find out that the unit above us displaced several moth balls throughout there unit, tightly sealed the unit up without air conditioning on(we live in Florida) and left for the summer.
As the smell increased in our unit we begged parties involved to rid the unit of the moth balls and air it out.
Finally this was done, however even though the smell appears to be gone sometimes, other times we can still smell a bad odor, sometimes now the odor is less mothball smell and just simply a bad odor. We have tried everything and are desperate to solve the problem. Is it possible to get rid of this toxic odor? Any help would be greatly appreciated. - B.P. 9/22/2012
Reply: How to get rid of mothball odors in buildings, contents, clothing, furnishings
Indeed the odor from moth repellent products (paradichlorobenzene or naphthalene) penetrates many materials including even drywall and furnishings.
It can take quite a while for the smell to diminish.
At MOTHBALL ODORS we have included your question again in the FAQs section where we also have provided a detailed list of suggestions for getting rid of mothball odors, starting with ventilating the source area but adding other steps as well.
Please take a look at that article and let us know if questions remain.
The photo at left, though a white moth-like insect, is not a clothing-attacking moth, as you'll read at our mothball odor article.

Sino Vegetarian, Hong KongPosted on 01 / 13 / 2015
The location is right at the end of Parkes St on the corner of Saigon St. It's maybe 2 mins walk from exit A of Jordan MTR.
It's a Chinese place in which as others have said there are things on the menu to indicate use of eggs, cheese, butter.
I went for the mix vegetables in curry sauce. Very nice and a decent sized portion. It was 68 bucks (I didn't order any rice). When I was sat at the table I was presented with a small nibbles dish with some marinated tofu. That cost 9 bucks. I declined the tea so that when they added 10% the total bill was 85 hkd.
There we 3 menus. One was in Chinese and English, the other 2 in Chinese only (supplemented with pictures).
I enjoyed my food here. If you are in the area it is comparable to most of the local food style vegetarian places in this sort of price range. It wouldn't describe it as anywhere especially worth travelling a sizeable distance for, there's a ton of places like this around Hong Kong.
Cons: Unremarkable enough to merit travelling

Hi All,
I am almost 6 weeks pregnant now. My beta's where as follows:
1073 - 15dpo
3083 - 19dpo
4356 - 21dpo
5239 - 23 dpo
Now the reason for all the beta's is that our clinic does 3 to make sure that they are doubling correctly, the third beta didn't rise as expected hence the 4th on which caused extra concern. We started off with high beta's but we did put 3 embryo's back.
I had a scan yesterday and what the doc thinks has happened is that all three implanted and over the last two weeks two of them have come away. The scan was too early to detect a heartbeat but everything else that needed to be there was there. Has anyone else had something similar?

'Satisfaction': Matt Passmore is redefining marriage with a 'postmodern love story'Add to Favorites | Satisfaction
Zap2it: What initially got you interested in starring in "Satisfaction"?
Matt Passmore: It was so interesting to go in and talk with [executive producer] Sean Jablonski when his first words were, "This is a postmodern love story." That intrigued me, because straight away, it was very evident that this was not a story of despair. We weren't going to just watch a marriage implode and sit there and think, "You guys would be so much happier away from each other."
This is about what happens when two people are really made for each other, but get to a point where they have to redefine themselves and redefine each other. They just go about it in extraordinarily unorthodox ways.
Zap2it: How do you feel about the results of your new character Neil's actions ... such as telling off his boss, then getting a better position instead of getting fired?
Matt Passmore: I think that sums up the whole show, actually. It's always "one step forward, one step back, one step sideways." It slides all over the place, then there are these very interesting outcomes from actions that we might see as unorthodox on one end and amoral on the other end -- but surprisingly positive aspects come out of some of these things.
Everything about the show is honest and raw, and it never judges. It's not saying this is the way marriage should be, or what's right or wrong. It is just saying, "Check out these two people in this situation. Sit back and watch, and see what happens."

The four-story, glass-encased building with an open floor plan and grand central staircase has been awarded both Core & Shell™ and Commercial Interiors™ LEED® Platinum certification from the U.S. Green Building Council. It is the first double LEED® Platinum building in Philadelphia. It is anticipated that the innovative building systems will save as much as 30% of energy use when compared to a traditional building.
These substantial energy savings are the result of the state-of-the-art building facade and high-performance glass which maximize daylight in winter while reducing heat gain and providing shading in summer. ENERGY STAR®-rated lighting and equipment, as well as an astronomical time clock and cloud sensor program, activate the automatic shades on windows to control glare. In addition smart meters track and monitor the building's energy and water use and provide ongoing accountability for utility consumption and performance.
"It was GSK's commitment to Philadelphia that put The Navy Yard well over the 10,000 employee mark," said Mayor Michael A. Nutter . "Just 18 months ago we stood here to break ground on this project, and I am thrilled to be here today to celebrate the grand opening of one of the most innovative, healthy, and green work spaces in the US.
Sweeping views of Philadelphia are accessible from nearly 90% of the workspaces. In the office-less layout, employees are located in "neighborhoods" and can work in a variety of settings throughout the day. These include custom-designed sit-to-stand workstations, team tables, meeting areas, social areas with soft seating, and quiet rooms.
"Francis Cauffman is very excited to see employees working and interacting throughout the entire building, and to hear the highly positive employee response to their new workplace," said

The New York Knicks seemed to miss Carmelo Anthony against the Chicago Bulls earlier this month. They'll have him on the court Friday night when they attempt to improve the best home record in the NBA against Joakim Noah and the stingy Bulls. A lacerated finger on his left hand forced Anthony to miss New York's 93-85 loss at Chicago on Dec. 8. Without the superstar forward, the Knicks (19-6) turned in their worst offensive performance of the season, setting season lows in points and field-goal percentage (32.1). Anthony had 43 points and hit a 3-pointer with 8.2 seconds left in overtime to secure a 100-99 win over Chicago (14-10) in the most recent matchup at Madison Square Garden on April 8. Anthony enters this meeting after scoring 31 points on 12-of-22 shooting - 4 of 8 from beyond the arc - in Wednesday's 100-86 win over Brooklyn. It was unclear if he would even play after missing the previous two games with a sprained left ankle. "He looked good to me," coach Mike Woodson ...

Technology: Azzly
An integrative approach to physician software
By RICHARD WESTLUND
For Progress & Innovation
After five years of software development, Coletta Dorado and her team at Azzly are ready to take on the world — or at least the medical information technology industry.
"We have designed and developed a unique all-inclusive clinical and business solution for the ambulatory care market," said Dorado, who is founder, president and CEO of the 11-employee Vero Beach company. "We tie together all the features and functions that practitioners need to manage their practices, along with a state-of-the-industry electronic health record (EHR) that meets all the mandates of the Affordable Care Act."
Azzly's leading-edge combination of clinical and business functions holds a powerful appeal to physicians and other practitioners, who typically purchase multiple applications for clinical care and revenue cycle management (RCM). "We take away the IT investment and the burden of internal support," she said. "By simplifying the daily office functions for practitioners, we take away the stresses."
It was in 2008 when Dorado spotted an opportunity for a new medical technology company. At that time, the medical information technology (IT) sector included varied applications for billing and collecting, as well as patient registration, scheduling, clinical support and merchant banking services. For a solo doctor or a small group practice, the only way to move from a paper-based system was to purchase or subscribe to many different software applications.
"We recognized that no other company offered a total integration of all the features and functions," Dorado said. We spent five years working with the Department of Health and Human Services, Medicare and Medicaid to develop a "streamlined, cloud-based solution for the benefit of the practitioner," she added.
Earlier this year, Azzly placed second at the Research Coast Business Plan Competition sponsored by the Research Coast Principium Foundation. Then, Dorado's company placed first of 118 entrants in the Florida Venture Forum's annual statewide business plan competition this spring.
"That achievement got us our first round of outside funding from a group of angel investors in central Florida," said Dorado. "That kind of visibility is also huge for a high-tech company located in a community known for its citrus."
Azzly customers now range from Orlando to Miami with a strong concentration on the Treasure Coast, according to Dorado, who said the company has excellent prospects for growth on a national level. She added that Azzly benefits from having a leading-edge solution in a fragmented market, where the largest medical IT companies have only a small percentage of the total. While hospitals and academic medical centers tend to purchase IT solutions from major companies like GE or Cerner, there are more than 1 million U.S. physicians and another 1 million non-physician practitioners, according to Dorado. "That's a tremendous user base, especially since 500,000 physicians operate outside the hospital space," she added.
Dorado adds that Azzly's success benefits other professionals on the Treasure Coast. "We engage local tech firms and work with existing billing companies and healthcare consultants, as well as bankers and accountants who serve the region's doctors."
With its integrated approach, Azzly's solution has received an excellent response from physicians, Dorado said. "Since every doctor is also an entrepreneur, we are helping them better manage patient care while driving down their administrative costs and improving the bottom line."

The Changing Role and Responsibilities of Audit Committees in the United States
Date: August 2010
Creator: Teed, Dan Graham
Description: The corporate form that developed in the early 20th century created enormous pressure for corporate governance mechanisms to curb the power of corporate managers. Berle and Means, legal pluralists, warned about concentrating economic power in the hands of a small but powerful class of professional managers. They claimed this "new form of absolutism" required governmental oversight and viewed boards of directors as part of management, rather than monitors for shareholders. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) proposed that corporations establish a special board committee, made up of "nonofficer members" in response to the McKesson & Robbins scandal of the late 1930s. My dissertation examines the evolution of the U.S. corporate audit committee through three specific time periods: (1) 1920-1954; (2) 1955-1986; and (3) 1987 to the passage of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. My purpose is to determine if evolution of the audit committee throughout these periods has been a reform continually couched in symbolism or whether the audit committee concept has evolved into real reform, allowing proper corporate governance and mitigation of unchecked corporate power. My analysis is a traditional empirical analysis, relying on both primary and secondary sources to develop a coherent ordering of facts. I use narrative ...

A Comparison of Cognitive Moral Development of Accounting Students at a Catholic University with Secular University Accounting Students
Date: April 1998
Creator: Koeplin, John P. (John Peter)
Description: Previous research has shown that accountants may be inadequate moral reasoners. Concern over this trend caused the Treadway Commission (1987) and the Accounting Education Change Commission (1990) to call for greater integration of ethics into the student's training. Ponemon and Glazer (1990) found a difference in cognitive moral development (CMD) between accounting students at a public university and a private university with a liberal arts emphasis. This study expands Ponemon and Glazer's research by examining two liberal arts universities, one a private, secular institution and one a Catholic institution. The primary research question asks if Catholic university accounting students manifest greater CMD growth than secular university accounting students. Additionally, this study examines and compares the priority that accounting students from the different institutions place on ethical values versus economic values. It was expected that Catholic university accounting students would manifest both greater CMD growth and a greater concern for ethical values over economic values when compared with non-Catholic university accounting students. The study utilized a two-phase approach. In the first phase, an organizational study of two institutions was made to determine how each strives to integrate moral development into their accounting students' education. In the second phase, lower-division and senior ...

Does the Knowledge of Unaudited Account Balances Adversely Affect the Performance of Substantive Analytical Procedures?
Date: December 2009
Creator: Pike, Byron J.
Description: Auditors use substantive analytical procedures to make assertions about the adequacy and appropriateness of client balances. The analytical procedure process consists of auditors creating independent account expectations and corroborating unusual fluctuations through obtaining and evaluating additional audit evidence. Prior analytical procedure research has found that knowledge of clients' unaudited account balances biases auditors' expectations towards the current year figures. However, this research has failed to examine the impact of biased expectations on the subsequent stages of analytical procedures. This dissertation assesses the full impact of biased account expectations on auditors' use of analytical procedures. I experimentally test the hypotheses of my dissertation through administering an experiment to senior level auditors. After inducing an account expectation bias that favors the client account balance in half the participants, I examine the auditors' cognitive investigation into an unusual account fluctuation. The results indicate that a biased account expectation negatively affects auditors' judgment quality. In particular, a biased expectation leads auditors to favor hypotheses and additional information that supports the proposition that the client's balance is reasonably stated. Alternatively, auditors with unbiased account expectations are more willing to consider all hypotheses and are able to identify the most pertinent additional information to the decision ...

The Early Adoption of Accounting Standards as an Earnings Management Tool
Date: December 1993
Creator: Smith, Pamela Ann, 1959-
Description: Many corporate managers elect to adopt a new Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) early instead of waiting until the mandatory adoption date. This study tests for evidence that managers use early adoption as an earnings management tool in a manner consistent with one or more positive accounting theories.

Earnings Management and the Independence or Interdependence of Accounting Choices: the Decision to Adopt Mandated Accounting Changes
Date: December 1997
Creator: Nichols, Nancy Brown
Description: This research examines whether firms managed earnings in the year they adopted SFAS 109, Accounting for Income Taxes (or its predecessor SFAS 96), by combining the choice to adopt SFAS 109 with other accounting choices in an interdependent rather than independent manner. Prior literature generally analyzes only one specific accounting choice, assuming that the decision is independent of other accounting procedure choices. However, it is unlikely that managers act in this manner. When attempting to achieve certain income goals, managers have numerous accounting tools available to them including the choice of accounting procedures and the exercise of judgment as to accrual amounts. This study investigates five choices consisting of: (1) the adoption of SFAS 109/96; (2) the adoption of SFAS 106; (3) the reporting of a restructuring of operations and/or a write-down of assets; (4) the reporting of asset sales; and (5) the choice of discretionary accruals. The study adopts both a portfolio and joint decision approach. The portfolio approach combines the earnings effects of the five choices into a single dependent variable and tests income smoothing, big bath, and debt hypotheses. The joint decision approach utilizes simultaneous equation methodology to investigate the interdependence of the five choices and the ...

The Effect of Auditor Knowledge on Information Processing during Analytical Review
Date: February 1995
Creator: O'Donnell, Ed
Description: Auditors form judgments by integrating the evidence they gather with information stored in memory (knowledge). As they acquire experience, auditors have the opportunity to learn how different patterns of evidence are associated with particular audit problems. Research in experimental psychology has demonstrated that individuals with task-specific experience can match the cues they encounter with patterns they have learned, and form judgments without consciously analyzing the individual cues. Accounting researchers have suggested that auditors develop judgment templates through task-specific experience, and that these knowledge structures automatically provide decisions in familiar situations. I examined whether auditor knowledge leads to reliance on judgment templates. To test this thesis, I synthesized a theoretical framework and developed research hypotheses that predict relationships between task-specific experience (my surrogate for knowledge) and (1) measures of cognitive effort, (2) accuracy of residual memory traces, and (3) performance with respect to identifying potential problems. To test these predictions, I provided senior auditors with comprehensive case materials for a hypothetical client and asked them to use analytical procedures to identify potential audit problems. Subjects acquired information and documented their findings on personal computers using software that I developed to record their activities.

The Effect of Different Forms of Accounting Feedback, Cost Aggregation and Pricing Knowledge on Profitability and Profit Estimation
Date: May 1997
Creator: Smith, David M., 1961-
Description: This study extends a research stream calling for further research regarding pricing and accounting feedback. Marketing executives rely heavily on accounting information for pricing decisions, yet criticize accounting feedback usefulness. To address this criticism, this research integrates the cognitive psychology and accounting literature addressing feedback effectiveness with pricing research in the marketing discipline. The research extends the scope of previous accounting feedback studies by using a control group and comparing two proxies of subject task knowledge; years of pricing experience and a measure of the cognitive structure of pricing knowledge. In addition, this research manipulates task complexity by using two different accounting systems. These systems vary in the number of cost pools used in allocating overhead, resulting in differentially projected cost and profit information. A total of 60 subjects participated in a computer laboratory experiment. These subjects were non-accountants with varying amounts of pricing knowledge. Subjects were randomly assigned to six experimental groups which varied by feedback type (no accounting feedback, outcome feedback only, or a combination of outcome and task properties feedback) and task complexity (high or low number of overhead cost pools). The subjects attempted to (1) maximize profits for a product during 15 rounds of pricing decisions, ...

The Effect of SFAS No. 141 and SFAS No. 142 on the Accuracy of Financial Analysts' Earnings Forecasts after Mergers
Date: May 2005
Creator: Mintchik, Natalia Maksimovna
Description: This study examines the impact of Statements of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141 and No. 142 (hereafter SFAS 141, 142) on the characteristics of financial analysts' earnings forecasts after mergers. Specifically, I predict lower forecast errors for firms that experienced mergers after the enactment of SFAS 141, 142 than for firms that went through business combinations before those accounting changes. Study results present strong evidence that earnings forecast errors for companies involved in merging and acquisition activity decreased after the adoption of SFAS 141, 142. Test results also suggest that lower earnings forecast errors are attributable to factors specific to merging companies such as SFAS 141, 142 but not common to merging and non-merging companies. In addition, evidence implies that information in corporate annual reports of merging companies plays the critical role in this decrease of earnings forecast error. Summarily, I report that SFAS 141, 142 were effective in achieving greater transparency of financial reporting after mergers. In my complementary analysis, I also document the structure of corporate analysts' coverage in "leaders/followers" terms and conduct tests for differences in this structure: (1) across post-SFAS 141,142/pre-SFAS 141, 142 environments, and (2) between merging and non-merging firms. Although I do not identify ...

The Effects of Goal Difficulty and Monitoring Frequency on Effort and Risk Taking Decisions
Date: May 2014
Creator: Shoemaker, Nikki L.
Description: Management control systems perform a vital role in facilitating the accomplishment of organizational objectives. To effectively align the objectives of employees with those of the organization, firms balance multiple control mechanisms to encourage organizationally desired behaviors and discourage undesired behaviors. The purpose of my dissertation was two-fold. First, I assessed how changes in monitoring frequency influenced employee behaviors and the overall function of the management control system. Second, I investigated the effects of stretch goals on behavior to determine whether stretch goals can lead to harmful behaviors and whether continuous monitoring can mitigate these behaviors. Results suggest that individuals exert more effort when assigned a stretch or difficult goal compared to an easy goal. My study also finds that stretch goals can be harmful because of their effect on risk taking, goal commitment, and job insecurity. Finally, results indicate that accountability mediates the monitoring frequency-risk taking relationship such that continuous monitoring increases accountability and accountability decreases risk taking. However, the ability of monitoring frequency to decrease risk taking may depend on numerous factors. Results from this study allow practitioners to understand the potential benefits and drawbacks of implementing continuous monitoring systems and the combined effects of using these systems in ...

What Films Do You Consider to be "Works of Art?"

Eeeegh Mmmmmmgh Wellllllllllllllll when you think about it!
What is a work of art?
A film I can remember last seeing that made an impact was 'Pulp Fiction' simply because that at the end, I hadn't a clue what was going on (well storey line that is) so i watched it again that night.
Toy storey, Ice age are good films because they make an impact on children of all ages and we are all children trying to be adults.
A film that was on last night which I've seen before was the Magdelane sisters, not a work of art visualy but as a true storey (probably exagerated) but not to say it didn't happen, my mother had experiance as a child being cared for in a relgious establishment similar to the story line.
I've just had a thought, a lot of war films I've seen were grusome but a reflection of actual war so titles such as Platoon, Saving Private Ryan and so on could be classed as 'works of art'
Tomorrow I'll wake up and check this and think.......Did I.............

The Lake District
With its breathtaking mountain scenery, beautiful lakes and picturesque villages, the Lake District is a paradise, not only for outdoor enthusiasts but for anyone who loves peace and beauty.
The changing seasons bring with them different highlights: Spring is a time of new life with baby lambs, Wordsworth's daffodils and walks through bluebell woods. Lazing by the lake in Summer or walking amongst the fells, the beautiful Autumnal colours and then hopefully an Indian Summer. Winter with its cold frosty days and warm snug evenings, sitting in front of an open fire with a large glass of wine.
The beautiful lakes with dramatic fells rising from their shores are just part of a great experience. The Lake District offers excellent local food and beer and fantastic activities that make a holiday here live long in the memory.
Keswick is the adventure hub of the northern Lake District, with a vast choice of outdoor activities on two feet, a bike, and on water. The town also has lots of places to eat and a wide choice of things to do in rainy weather. You couldn't get a better base for a Lakes holiday!
Derwentwater has an easy, ten-mile path around it, and a paved, pushchair-friendly stretch along its western shore. Lake cruises take 50 minutes for a round trip, or you can hop on and off at any of the seven jetties around the lake. Alternatively, hire self-drive motor boats and rowing boats, or even hire the Keswick Launch for special events.
Derwent Island House - This eighteenth century house is on an island on the lake. It is owned by the National Trust but lived in by a tenant (how lovely). It is open to the public for a few days each year, subject to lake levels. Tickets must be booked in advance either by calling 017687 73780 or visiting the small National Trust shop by the lakeside.
Hope Park This park, between the town centre and the lake, has a 9-hole pitch and putt course, crazy obstacle golf, a plant centre, lots of seats, and an ice-cream stand.
Fitz Park This park has a children's playground, a cricket pitch (see the locals play in summer), a bowling green and tennis courts
The Theatre by the Lake - Positioned between Hope Park and the lake, the Theatre has a summer season of 6 rotating plays. It is much loved for its Christmas shows and also the many festivals it hosts, including Words by the Water and the Jazz and Mountain festivals.
The Pencil Museum - At Southey Works, Main Street. The Cumberland Pencil Co. has been based in Keswick for 175 years, and this well-thought out museum tells the history of pencil making, with a replica of a graphite mine. It is highly suitable for kids, with a quiz and drawing zone. There is also a café and pencil shop. Open daily from 9.30-4.
Threlkeld Mining Museum - It's not well known outside the area, but Cumberland was a hive of mining activity for hundreds of years. This museum, at Otley Road, tells the story, starting with the immigration of German mining specialists in 1564. In the geology room, you can find out about mining copper, lead, graphite, slate, coal, iron and gypsum and discover how they were smelted and treated to provide familiar objects.
The mine at Threlkeld, 3 miles east of Keswick, produced granite for road building until 1982. Here, you can go underground to see a real mine, see the original quarry machinery and visit the geology and mining museum. Open 7 days a week from Easter to October.
Honister Slate Mine - The mine is on Honister pass, 9 miles west of Keswick. It is the last working slate mine in the country. There are guided tours of the mine itself, and a visitor centre, but most people go there for the Via Ferrata. This 'iron road' is an updated version of the climbing system used by Victorian miners to get to work; it has iron cables and hand holds up the rock face, reaching the 2126 ft-high summit of Fleetwith Pike. Open 7 days a week, 9-5.
Keswick Museum and Art Gallery - This free museum was opened in 1898 and well deserves its moniker as the '3rd strangest museum in the world'! It has a mixed collection of interesting objects left to the museum, including a stone xylophone, a 664-year old desiccated cat and a penny farthing bicycle. More seriously, it also has a credible collection of the manuscripts of Southey, Wordsworth and High Walpole, and examples of the Keswick School of Industrial Art's arts and crafts items.
St. Kentigern's Church, Crosthwaite www.crosthwaitechurchkeswick.co.uk This gem lies to the west of Keswick. The first church at this site was allegedly established by St. Kentigern himself in 553AD, but the current church mostly dates from 1523 with parts from the late 12th and 14th centuries. It is unique in having all twelve consecration crosses. It has a 14th century font, a fine mosaic floor and two alabaster effigies dating from 1495. It also houses a monument to the poet, Robert Southey. Weekly services.
The Puzzling Place - At Museum Square. This interesting exhibition aims to entertain with confusion, with lots of optical illusions, including holograms and an 'anti-gravity' room. There is a puzzle shop and a puzzle room. Open 10-6, seven days a week from Easter to November. Open 11-5 from November to Easter, closed Mondays.
Derwentwater Marina, Portinscale - Here you can have lessons in sailing, windsurfing, canoeing, kayaking, climbing and scrambling. Also hire out boats.
Platty+ - Based at the Lodore boat landing. Here you can have lessons in canoeing, kayaking, dinghy sailing, rowing, dragon boating, Viking longshipping and power boating. Also hire out boats. Open Mar- Oct, 10-6.
A number of eating places have live musicians in the evening. Try The Oddfellows Arms, on Main Street or The Square Orange on St. John's Street.
The Keswick Lodore Spa - Treat yourself to a Pamper Day at one of Keswick's most beautifully sited hotels. Indoor pool, sauna, gym, tennis court and full range of beauty treatments.
Oxley's Spa at Underscar - Book a Spa Day Pass at Oxley's Spa at Underscar Manor, Applethwaite. Forty acres of woodland, indoor pool, fitness room and sauna.
Keswick Golf Club - Based at Threlkeld Hall, three miles to the east of Keswick. 18-hole parkland course with Lakeland views. Club house with bar and restaurant, golfing shop.
Castlerigg Stone Circle This sight is not to be missed – a short 1.5mile walk or drive to the southeast of Keswick. This circle of 40 stones is believed to be 5,000 years old, and, in common with a lot of Cumbrian stone circles, is supposed to be aligned to midwinter sunrise…but we don't know why! Sited on a flat-topped hill, overlooked by the peaks of Skiddaw and Blencathra, it's a beautiful place to visit, whether you're interested in ancient monuments or not.

dbForge SQL Complete is a useful add-in for Microsoft SQL Server
Management Studio and Microsoft Visual Studio. Free and advanced paid editions of
the SQL code formatter offer powerful autocompletion and formatting of T-SQL code
that replaces native Microsoft T-SQL Intellisense.
Code completion in SQL Complete predicts not only keywords and object names,
but also whole code fragments to simplify and accelerate your work. Intelligent
suggestions with smart filtering make the code typing process really smooth
and fast.
SQL code can be automatically formatted using SQL Complete. The formatter can work
either with available code or the code that is being typed. You don't need to pay
that much attention to case, line breaks, whitespaces, indenting,
wrapping, etc - the application will take care of them all for you.
SQL Formatter online
without having to download or install anything!
INSERT, ALTER, and EXEC statements will be expanded to the
full code template on pressing the Tab key to avoid tedious typing.
Except the template, the type of column data will be generated in the comments.
View feature in action
For frequent repetitive usage of code fragments, SQL snippets feature can be used.
The application shows available code templates in the dropdown prompt list,
and any of them can be inserted into the code you are typing on pressing Tab. In
Snippets Manager, predefined templates can be modified and new ones can be added.
The application gives you essential information on database objects while
you are writing code. Get such information for tables, procedures, and other objects.
Parameter information prompts you with stored procedure and function parameters
when writing call statements and relieves your memory.
Param info screenshot
With the Go to definition option, you can locate the needed object in the
Object Explorer tree in a moment.
Document outline window, in its turn, allows navigating through large SQL
documents. The window shows the structure of the current SQL document which can
be easily synchronized with the code both ways.
View feature in action
SQL Complete is designed to increase productivity. Application developers and DBAs
work with SQL will become much faster thanks to our tool, as it provides smart prompts
basing on the code context, selected database, etc. The application takes the smallest
hint to guess what you are trying to write.
With standard tool you won't get SQL Server Management Studio IntelliSense for
all versions of Microsoft SQL Server. Don't think
when choosing with which SQL Server to work - at least, don't mind the availability
of IntelliSense for this server - SQL Complete supports all of them! Just install
your server and our application - and work wonders in your SQL coding!
SQL Complete gives you a great opportunity to fight unintelligible poorly formatted
SQL code. Set wide range of formatting options so that the code is formatted in
accordance with your needs and preferences - code will be easier to read, understand,
debug, and test.
Always having problems with the fact that each person in your team invents his or
her own SQL standards? With SQL Complete there is a way to put an end to this chaos.
Introduce and maintain corporate SQL writing standards using a special tool for
exporting and importing settings.
To see the complete list of differences between SQL Complete and built-in SSMS Intellisense,
read the
SQL Complete - Alternative
to Native Microsoft T-SQL Intellisense
You can use SQL Complete Express as a free add-in for SQL Server Management Studio.
You are eligible to use SQL Complete Express either for non-commercial or commercial
purposes. This edition of our SQL code completion tool provides basic functionality

When Todd McClure was drafted by the Atlanta Falcons, the team had just made it to the Super Bowl for the first time. He figured it would be easy to get back again. Well, he's still waiting. Fourteen years later. McClure is the longest-serving member of the Falcons, a center who's always right in the middle of things but rarely gets noticed. He was a big help early on to quarterback Matt Ryan, and he's still the glue that holds the offense together. On Sunday, McClure gets another shot at the Super Bowl when Atlanta (14-3) hosts the San Francisco 49ers (12-4-1) for the NFC championship. The only other time he got this far was during the 2004 season, when the Falcons finished one win shy of the big game.
