Style: Jujitsu--
Yeah, they said Nishijima was a "cruiserweight champion," but I didn't know on what level. According to boxrec.com, he was WBO NABO champion, OPBF champion, and even WBF world champion. I think he should go to Cage Rage, where Boxing is appreciated, and a ground game isn't as vital.
How 'bout Pedro losing? My PPV provider fucked up and I missed the first 20 minutes of this event, including this whole fight, so I had to watch it on youtube. Truly shocking. I mean, I know alot of people(myself included) think that Pride has better talent overall than the UFC, but seriously, what the ****?! I guess his career really is over.
I felt bad for Shogun; he didn't belong at Heavyweight to begin with, but I still expected him to win...and what a shitty way to lose. I hope this injury is as minor as a joint dislocation usually is, and that it doesn't impact his career. Oh, and good for Coleman.
And Yoon Dong Sik actually holding his own against Rampage? Who'da' thunkit? After a performance like that, it's hard to believe that the Korean is 0-3. Thankfully, the Pride higherups are more forgiving than they could be, and he'll prolly be back.
Unlike Shogun, Alistair Overeem looks at-home over 205. I couldn't tell if that high-pitched noise when he was elbowing Kharitonov was skin slapping, or ribs cracking. I'm still curious to see how his endurance will serve him in a tournament setting at Heavyweight.
Pre-fight, I was kind of favoring Sperry by sub over Kosaka, and about 30 seconds in I was sure TK would get knocked out. Another upset.
Barnett vs. Fatty Nakamura, Nogueira vs. Tamura, and Werdum vs. Einemo all went as expected.
Easily the most intriguing Pride event since Bushido the Tournament.

I don't think we really got to see one way or another whether Shogun belongs at that weight, considering the shortness of the match and the way in which it ended. I personally would rather see him at 205, but I wouldn't mind seeing a Shogun/Coleman rematch if/when Shogun gets healthy.

Style: BJJ--
it was a surprisingly cool event...
hunt nishijima was like the hunt bouts of old... i love hunt, he is great. i hope he starts fighting smart though because much as i like to see his chin of steel, i dont wanna see him punch drunk.
rua coleman - hmm. i dunno what it is about coleman but i just hate him... he is so aggro... so stressed... but to be fair, he did nothing wrong on the night (apart from thai clinch and throw the ref to the floor.) He should have got a yellow for that.
what you didnt see on the PPV was that coleman threw the ref to the floor and i think it was ninja jumped in and yelled at him. the rest of the team poured in too and coleman backed off with his arms wide... wait i forgot... ah yes... silva ran straight at coleman and pill baloney tackled him down pretty good... i think coleman stood on silvas face at that point (i hear, but i couldnt see it) everyone came in and started yelling... some guy threw the sissiest girly punch over the top of some peoples heads that bounced off colemans nostril. then the PPV cut back and it looks like silva was almost triangling baloney... nyeh, anyway. i feel sorry for coleman in a way... he spends to much time with baloney masturbating in front of the mirror yelling "I'm the fucking man. I'm the fucking man!" him and baloney are funny together... he was looking at him like "Am I the fucking man?" hesitatantly and baloney is like "Yes, mark Yes you are the fucking man. Now get on those ropes and bellow like an ape into the crowd and inform them that you are the fucking man! Yes you are you tiger!" Coleman - "Even if I won the fight via tko cos of an injury?" "Hell yes your manliness is not affected by the reason for the win. Just remember that you are the fucking man!" "I am the fucking man!" etc. etc.
how does he end up in these silly situations... like the time alan goes went after him like a zombie, he looked so confused... and the time he won the pride gp and he staggered around gibbering 'i dont know whats going on...'
it was an exciting event though. I can taste the rivalry developing between hammerhouse and chuteboxe...
coleman vs either ninja, shogun or even wandy is an absolute deadset for the gp opening round in may. can't wait!Imports from Japan, Shipping Worldwide! Art Junkie, Scramble, BJJ Spirits, Reversal...

"The most relaxing holiday we have had in Barbados"
Up until last year we have always stayed in hotels, not any more, we found this apartment so relaxing and very central to all facilities. We are going back again this yearand hopefully for many years to come!!!
8 Jan 2012
"So good - we've stayed there five times..."
Crystal Court is located in a very quiet residential area - so car-hire is an absolute must. Yet is only 10 minutes from the Platinum Coast beaches. Crystal court is within 5 minute drive to a large shopping centre. So, everything is close to hand. Depending on the time of day, 25-30 minute drive to the airport. Once you arrive, you go into Bajan time mode. Relax and slow down to the Bajan way of life. Crystal Court is located roughly half way 'up' the island. So, it's location is perfect to explore the whole island. Or, you can just relax and chill out, with the pool and tennis court. For us, this is the perfect accomodation. Far away from the crowds, but close enough to be within easy reach of most attractions on the island. Excellent road links mean most points on the island can be reached in 30-45 minutes.
I would highly recommend Crystal Court for a lovely relaxing stress-free holiday. So, much so, we've stayed at Crystal Court five times. and are currently flying out again in January 2012 again. Six times for one location. For me - says it all.
Crystal Court is a top-floor accomodation. For us it is bliss - nobody dragging chairs/heels on the floor above. But, for those less mobile - it could be an issue.
Without a doubt. To do the self-booking holiday is not for all. In our opinion we prefer this type of holiday. No crowds, no herding about and a feeling of really getting away from it all...!

"Great apartment with the added bonus of the pool."
We had 10 days at this apartment and had everything we needed for our stay. Although it was on the top floor it didn't pose an issue with our young children, as we kept the balcony doors shut.
It is in a good location, although it is best to have a car for the time you are staying, to be able to get to the different beaches and restaurants.
The guest book is good for finding out where other guests have visited and what they recommend.
The dvd collection is good , although cable would be a nice bonus.
Internet is available but only in the clubhouse located next to the pool, which is fine but make sure you have lots of insect repellant on!
The pool is brilliant and our children loved using it. It is hard to find an apartment that includes a pool, so this was one of the reasons we chose this apartment.
The rental prices are very reasonable and we have booked to return again this year, 2012.

After six months of negotiations, the Associated Press has reached what it calls a "tentative" deal with the News Media Guild, which represents about 1,200 newsroom and technology employees of the wire service.
The AP said that agreement would provide a greater degree of financial stability for the organization, which has seen many of its dues-paying newspaper publisher members experience continued strains stemming from years of advertising and circulation revenue declines.
In response to the revenue squeeze of its members, the AP has had to lower its fees for U.S. newspapers and broadcasters by $80 million during the past two years. Those reductions in turn caused the AP's annual revenue to fall to $631 million in 2010 from $748 million in 2008. As a cost-savings measure, the AP cut nearly 740 jobs two years ago and now has about 3,560.
According to the AP, the new contract calls for:
— Freezing a longstanding pension plan, in which monthly payments in retirement are defined. Future retirement contributions would instead go into an employee-controlled account similar to a 401(k). The union ultimately agreed to the pension freeze, and the company said it would increase contributions to the alternative plan for affected employees for eight years.
— In exchange for agreeing to the pension fund freeze, the AP will not to seek an increase in employees' health insurance payments. Employees would get three raises of 1.5 percent each and improved job security. The contract would cover 33 months and expire at the end of August 2013. Release

Originally written on Larry Brown Sports | Last updated 11/14/12
The Kansas City Chiefs have been featured in several headlines already this week, and as you know there is nothing positive to say about their on-field performance this season. During Monday night's loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers, the Chiefs were dancing machines. They were penalized for excessive celebration on a touchdown that ended up not counting. Dwyane Bowe was penalized for taunting after scoring another touchdown — which also didn't count. And then there was the Kid N' Play dance that a couple of Kansas City players busted out after sacking Ben Roethlisberger. The now 1-8 Chiefs obviously planned some of these antics before the game began, and head coach Romeo Crennel is not amused. "I have no idea," Crennel told the Kansas City Star when asked what inspired the dance party. "It was a surprise to me to see some of those celebrations, per se. The rules are explicit about no celebrating, particularly group celebrations. You cannot have those. Our guys, they know the rules and they should not have done it. I will talk to my players about that, and I don't expect it to happen again." The Chiefs are so bad that they couldn't even take advantage of an ice-cold Byron Leftwich being tossed into the lineup after Roethlisberger went down. They ultimately lost in overtime, cementing themselves as one of the worst teams in the NFL. No team should be dancing as much as Kansas City did on Monday night, let alone one that's season has been over for several weeks. Helmet knock to Around the League

In regards to the racism issue there is always going to be some racism no matter how hard you try to weed it out. Whether it is here in the United States, in Asia, Europe, or in Africa you are going to find ignorant people who are racist. Now some people try to exploit racism to help move their own agenda and I think that is terrible.
All we can do to fight Racism is educate our youth and each other to look at who the person is and not what color/gender the person is.
Just wanted to throw in my two cents.
I must say, a darn good comment for someone who listens to talk radio.
When others of us have said that same thing, we were called racists.

Forget Republican or Democrat. Americans of all convictions should be afraid of McCain as President. The man is reckless and he will bring this country to its knees for good. The only rationale I see for McCain to be in the lead is to eliminate any chance of other Republican candidates to become president, which is what I am assuming Republican voters are doing. The truth is the majority of Republican voters even want a Democratic Candidate to win now and deal with this mess.
Matclone, you do seem to inject race into a lot of discussion and I only occasionally browse the politics and religion board.
Ugly, to believe there are not people who will vote against Obama specifically becasue of his skin color is not realistic. It is entirely guesswork how many of those people exist and how many will vote, but it is a legitimate point.
Finally, McCain is by far the most electable Republican. Either Democrat would have crushed any of the other candidates.
I am a Democrat and I like McCain, I will vote for Hillary if she is nominated, but feel that the artificial divide (i.e. Red State / Blue State) in the country will worsen if she is elected.
However I personally think that McCain will gain even more ground after the nominations are final.
Even according to the former chairman of the DNC (can't remember his name) says that the way Clinton and Obama are campaining against each other they are hurting the democratic ticket.
If Clinton wins then a lot of the independants and even some Democrats will go for McCain because of what the Obama campain is saying, because of everything she says about Obama and because she carries a lot of baggage.
If Obama wins then he will come out so beat up by the Clinton Machine that he will lose votes.
Now I am not a McCain fan, the guy I liked (Romney) dropped out today, but I think that he is more electable than either Clinton or Obama.

I love my family & friends (a couple I treat like family) to a fault. I'd do anything for them. Period. I love dogs. Especially my 2 Corgies. I am an amputee. If you dont like the fact that I'm shorter on 1 side than the other, or that I wont change my name to Ilean & start working @ Ihop, that's fine. Plenty of other guys on here you can look at. I have no problem making fun of myself. I am can shy, honest, tough as hell, & funny. I love to read, write, watch, & live my life the way I want to. If you think you can handle all that, hit me up.

My husband and I have recently been trying to eat natural foods, that is unprocessed things. We quickly discovered that as a Southern family it is completely unsatisfying to eat broccoli and grilled chicken for every meal. If you abide by a paleo or comparable diet then more power to you, but it just wasn't cutting it for this family. Quite honestly we were miserable… Crabby and craving.
Freshly chopped, and read to slow cook!
In the midst of our turmoil we decided to broaden our diet to include good food that, might not be ideal for a strict dieter, at least it was unprocessed and still delicious. I know a lot of produce is genetically modified these days to create many different things, however organic or heirloom everything is not sold in my area so we do with what we have.
Getting back to my point of healthy eating. The idea of this meal is to be as basic and raw in ingredients as possible, while still being a filling and satisfying meal. I originally got the recipe from Pinterest, by searching "roast recipes" and I stumbled upon the Mississippi roast. The difference I have noticed between a traditional pot roast recipe and the Mississippi one is the omission of dry Italian dressing, and the addition of the peperoncinis.
In Mississippi style recipes I found it was simply the roast, seasonings, and peppers. This didn't sound like a hearty meal to me so I added the veggies (2 types of potatoes, carrots, and onion) and turned it into the Mississippi dinner roast.
With out further ado…
Blessings, Oklahoma Chic
1. Spray your crockpot with a nonstick spray (I use coconut oil), this will make cleaning easier
2. Place your roast in the pot
3. Cover the roast with the ranch and gravy mixes, lightly pat the dry mixes into the roast to promotes the flavors penetrating into the meat, place the stick of butter on top
4. Cut your potatoes into quarters, add them on top of and on the sides of the meat
5. Add the carrots and onion, filling in the sides and top of the meat
6. Last, sprinkle the peppers on top
7. Cook for 8hours on low… Or however you know your crockpot to cook. Stirring every 2-3 hours… Or whenever your schedule allows!
8. Savor the flavor!
Leave a comment and let me know how things worked for you! Share your suggestion or satisfaction!

TORONTO, Nov. 5, 2013 /PRNewswire/-- According to Millennium Research Group (MRG), the global authority on medical technology market intelligence, the United States (US) market for laparoscopic devices will see moderate market growth of about three percent over the next ten years as these procedures are increasingly adopted over open techniques. This is largely because laparoscopy is minimally invasive and offers faster recovery, less postoperative pain and better cosmetic results compared to open surgery.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130103/MM36799LOGO )
Despite the growing adoption of laparoscopy, there has been some shift in the popularity of innovative laparoscopic techniques in recent years. Although single-port laparoscopy was previously viewed as holding significant potential for better patient outcomes, randomized trials do not support these claims. Single-port surgeries are also significantly more expensive than regular laparoscopic surgeries because they require specialized instrumentation, and the complexity of the procedure has also prevented many surgeons from adopting this technique. Although some companies, such as Ethicon and Covidien, are attempting to improve single-port instrumentation in an effort to rekindle adoption, procedure volumes will decline by 12 percent annually through 2022. Meanwhile, despite some controversy surrounding cost, robotic-assisted laparoscopic surgeries continue to gain popularity, particularly for urological and gynecological procedures.
Within the laparoscopic device markets, the advanced direct energy device and hand-assist device markets will both see growth of around 7 percent. Hand-assist device manufacturers are making increased efforts to better train physicians in the use of these devices, and emerging clinical support for hand-assisted laparoscopy (HA

Rated 3.7 out of 5 by 2449 reviewers.
Rated 4 out of 5 by Andrew19 Greaat Location The Sheraton New York Times Square Hotel is an ideally located New York City hotel within a few short blocks of Rockefeller Center, St. Patrick's Cathedral, Radio City Music Hall, Carnegie Deli, Central Park and the Theatre District. The facility has been fully renovated and is up to date. We were two adults and two teen-aged children in a club-level room with two double-beds which surprisingly accommodated the four of us and all our luggage (winter wear sweaters and jackets included)…the room would have been a bit more comfortable without the table/2 chairs and adding two queen size beds instead. The Club Lounge was a nice retreat with complimentary continental breakfast and Hors D Oeuvres' in the evening. The morning lounge attendant, was cordial and attentive to our breakfast needs. He went out of his way to ensure tables were cleared and available for all guests. We had two minor issues. A few weeks before arrival I left a voice-mail message with the concierge and nobody returned my call. And upon arrival the bathroom had some hair on the shower walls and in the soap dish. Overall we had an enjoyable stay at this Sheraton Hotel and would return again in the future. January 4, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by dvs2013 Don't eat at this Sharaton The front desk staff & maid service was excellent. Hotel does not have any formal dining and tried to pull it off for New Years. The food was horrible (tasted like some sort of frozen packaged warmed up) couldn't even make a vodka tonic correctly. The food service staff was rude and had the nerve to build in a 15% gratuity for a table of 4. Unbelievable a hotel in midtown Manhatten doesn't have a decent restaurant. Thumbs down. January 4, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by TJW1 Not a holiday hotel This is a business hotel and not geared up for people on holidays. They obviously take care of people who stay at the hotel a lot but for everyone else don't expect anything special - even if you are a platinum SPG member. I was told at check in at any point in time there are about 400 platinum SPG members staying at the hotel therefore upgrades are only for their most important guests. I don't understand if you consistently have 400 Platinum SPG guests in your hotel, why would you "renovate" your lounge to accommodate 60-70 people seated. Needless to say he wait for a seat at breakfast as up to half an hour. After being treated like a second class citizen on check in the front desk attendant failed to inform me that the fitness centre is pay to enter, which is ridiculous. January 4, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by Phil15 Too many people-not enough staff Most crowded Sheraton I've even seen! HUGE lines for check in and only two people at the desk, Gold/Plat. line preferred better but very slow employees. Phone contact was better and more reliable, but only slightly. If you're going to have a hotel this crowded, please hire enough people to accommodate it. Lobby was more crowded than Times Square! Club level breakfast was jammed--no place to sit and a mad house. Bathroom reeked of mold in 1st room. Staff (when I finally reached them) gladly moved us. 2nd room better. January 4, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Baileyjo2067 Absolutely Wonderful! Perfect location! Wonderful staff! Loved the setting and cleanliness. Room was very modern. Debbie at the front desk was awesome! She not only checked us in, but made us feel welcome to the city and took the time to give us pointers on NYC and the ball drop that we were there to see. Loved her!!! January 3, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by JJ21 NYE The only complaint I have regarding this hotel is that the shower didn't have good pressure and the water took a while to heat up. Also, the room was a little old but that was fine because we had our dog with us. The hotel itself is in a great location. We enjoyed our stay here during NYE! January 3, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by Lisaca51 New Years Eve Time Square This hotel was at full capasity so the staff was very over loaded. The staff i restaurant for the dinner package was confused and we were told 3 different things as to what the package included. The hotel cleaning staff through out my bag of gifts & ran out of coffee for the room. Staff was friendly but too stressed and unorganized everywhere. I would not stay there again. Rooms are very small. January 3, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Shannon43 NYE in NYC The Sheraton Times Square was a wonderful experience for me and my family. We arrived at the hotel prior to the normal check-in time, and quickly received a room with no hassle or questions whatsoever. The rooms are newly renovated with really comfortable beds, and the room was very clean. We called for housekeeping on a couple of occasions, and they were at our door within 10 minutes each time. The staff was extremely polite and helpful. I have been to NYC for the past 5 years, and I have never received the service that I received at the Sheraton. And the location is perfect. In Times Square, but not right in the middle of the crowds. So many things within walking distance. I will definitely be back. January 3, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Randy20 The Perfect Stay From the minute we walked into the hotel everything was perfect. The front desk people were great and remember us from our last trip to New York. The club level facility is the best in New York. Again the staff saw my daughter and came right up to her and asked if she needed anything. Muhammad is just the best. Every morning he had what we like to eat ready for us. Muhammad should get a raise. The health club was very clean with great equipment and staff was so nice. We come to New York 7 times a year and the Sheraton is just great January 3, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by bigoogie Customer service is sorely lacking While the location can't be beat, I will never stay at this hotel again. NYC is one of our frequent destinations, and we have told others to avoid this hotel. Front desk staff was rude and unhelpful. Check in time was 4pm, and we didn't get a room until 9pm. They offered to pay for our parking for 3 days as part of the compensation for having to wait. When the time came to pay for the parking, they didn't do so and only paid for one day. But instead of giving us the voucher right then, told us we didn't need one. When we tried to get our car, they wanted paid and told us we needed a voucher. So we had to stand in line AGAIN to get it. Bottom line, it's not worth it to here and I won't. January 3, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by Pedro62 This hotel is noisy and uncomfortable We have always stayed at the Sheraton Hotels on our travels and have had wonderful experiences at your hotels in Seattle, Bellevue, and other locations. When we decided to take a trip to New York, it was a given that we would stay at the Sheraton. Unfortunately, the room was incredibly noisy. In fact, you could hear the conversations of other guests in the rooms next to us as if you were in the same room with them! January 2, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by Brianne Although looks updated, service and cleanliness lacking I stayed here at a group rate for a conference. Although the hotel and room were nicely updated, the smell of something moldy in the bathroom was overwhelming. As NYC goes this is in a great location, with no free gym (like most NYC hotels), free wifi in the lobby causes and overly crowded lobby, but free is unheard of in NYC so it was a nice touch. January 2, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by Janeway "Guest Services" could use some training! The hotel was nice, the room was ok. The room staff (maids) were great. They went out of their way to make us comfortable and they were VERY friendly. Called the front desk about LOTs of hallway noise, they sent me to guest services. The response? "what do you want me to do about it?" Get these folks some training! Or fire the rude ones! (12/23/12 @ 3:00 am in the morning-That person should be fired!) January 2, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by StarwoodSupporter Disappointing in every way People lying on the floor in the lobby, could never get the concierge on the phone and they would never call back, waited in line sometimes for 30 minutes to talk to them, room service was poor, hotel seemed dirty. I won't go on. So frustrating for a Sheraton property. I was told that it was the busiest time of the year. Why wouldn't you staff up it that was true? Also, it's not in the best part of town. January 1, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by GratefulDad Check-in Nightmare We stayed at the New York Sheraton over the holidays and had a less than stellar experience. We arrived early and were graciously allowed to check-in to one of our two rooms early. At the check-in, we were informed to come back at 3:00 PM to check-in for the second room (the kids room.) We had asked that we either be given 2 rooms that were on the same floor, or two rooms with two double beds, (knowing that adjacent or connecting rooms cannot both be doubles). The room wasn't ready when we returned at 3:00 PM. We were told to come back at 5:00 PM, but the room still wasn't ready. We were then told to come back at 8:00 PM, but the room still wasn't ready. Again, we were told to come back at 9:00 PM, and the room still wasn't ready - and that it was a flight crew room which was why it wasn't ready? At 10:00 PM, we just asked for any room in the hotel as the kids needed to get to bed, (they were sleeping on the lobby floor in the NYC Sheraton). It took another 30 minutes to get a room, which was on a separate floor from us (their parents). Also, once we arrived, we asked to use the internet and were told that the name on the registration didn't match the name on the account… (it did match but there was a problem with their internet). We were then told that there was a problem with the internet and that we needed a special pass code… it didn't work either… we gave up on the internet. Make no mistake, the staff was always very nice, very empathetic and very pleasant. I typically love the hotel and usually have a great experience at the hotel. As a 12-year Platinum Preferred guest, this is one of the first disappointing experiences I have had with Starwood. I will continue to stay at this hotel but was very disappointed with the most recent experience. December 31, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by MACsdadinTex Just A Little Customer Service.... Great Location to Take In NYC...The wife and I stayed 6 nights with 5 kids ages 14-20. Paying the extra money to get access to the Lounge Area sounded good. And for the most part it was a good idea, except for when the hot chocolate machine went down. I complained to a couple of suits that worked at the hotel but the machine only worked about 20% of the time that we were there. It seemed like the staff would acknowledge the problem just hoping that this Texas family would move on or just leave town, instead of addressing the issue. How hard can it be to fix a little coffee/hot chocolate "Starbucks" machine??? December 30, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Dutchmen Perfect, perfect, perfect This hotel is a perect basis for enjoying a visit New York. Everything you need is within range and the spectaculair view of the clubroom is one of the best you can experience. December 30, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by Themaninwhite305 The best possible location I strongly recommend this hotel as one of the prime best location in time square. It is just a few blocks from time square as well as from Central Park. Don't be confused by other's description this is the one. December 30, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by MW60 Improvements payed off! Nice job redoing hotel rooms. Made use out of the club lounge, but found it much to crowded, almost uncomfortable except during off hours. December 29, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by BKJLV Great Place to stay! My wife and I have stayed at this Hotel a few times now and it's been a pleasant experience every time. They have renovated the hotel recently and the rooms overall look good. We stayed on the 38th floor with a king bed. The room was clean and the bed was comfortable. They have free wireless and a Starbucks available in the lobby. The hotel is located in a great area, Times Square is very close, Broadway shows are a block away, there are plenty of bars and restaurants in the immediate area. It is a great place to stay, especially if you are looking to have a night out and not have to walk far to have some fun. December 29, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Pammy77 Always a great stay at the Sheraton hotels As always a shearaton hotel which I know from experience never fails me.nice spacious rooms very clean hotels.90% of the staff are helpful.only downfall is wifi in rooms you are charged for whereas its free in the lobby's,it would be nice to have it free in the rooms. December 28, 2012
Rated 3 out of 5 by bobbie54 Sheraton New York Times Hotel This hotel did not meet my requirements because of the unfriendliness of the check in staff. December 28, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by LESJOB2 This is a great place to stay Our room was great and the hotel location is great, near everything. All the main things to see in the city at this time of the year within 4 to 6 blocks. Only had to take the subway to 911 memo. Thanks for making our holiday visit to the Big Apple great. December 27, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by Madea31 Rooms better than standard of the lobby The room was very good and the staff (especially security) very attentive to my needs and helpful. Main entrance, admitting to the hotel lobby is somehow discouraging, given the huge traffic of people; open doors do not keep a good temperature inside. Lobby lacked in "coziness" to a tired and sick (as I was) foreign traveler. December 27, 2012
Rated 2 out of 5 by POOH Service We stayed at Starwood hotels all the time. This stay cost the most, but the service was the worest. Especially the check in staff, no smile at all, no greeting as well. Front desk receiptionist must need more training. December 26, 2012
Rated 2 out of 5 by Xmas2012 Cleanliness I booked this hotel for my brother's first trip to NYC and I assumed that Sheraton will be a good hotel based on the reputation and my prior stays with them. My brother checked-in before me and the room given to him was not even clean. He had to request for a new room. He got a new room but this really was a bad customer service. How can they check-in someone in a room which is not clean? Also from the photos, the room looks bigger than it really is. I am not sure that this is a good practice. Hotel's location is its biggest plus-point. If you can improve on the basic services, it will be a good choice for stay. Basic things like wi-fi are not included in the stay. Even 1-star hotels offer such features. December 26, 2012
Rated 3 out of 5 by maripla rude staff people The front desk people rude and not helpful . December 26, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Joann75 Check in needs improvement Being a Starwood Elite member, I had a very bad experience checking in. The receptionist was not nice at all. She would not give me the key to the room since the reservation was in my husbands name. Gave me a very hard time. I had to call starwood and they had to verify that I was and wanted to speak to my husband to make sure I was able to check in without him.. I felt as an member in good standing and owning alot with Starwood all she had to do was check my account and she would have seen with my I did that I also was an owner not just my husband. It took at least 30 to 45 minutes for me to get my room. Very upset and dissapointed int this. I have never had this kind of problem any other reservation or check in. I'm not really sure if I will ever book at this hotel again. December 25, 2012
Rated 1 out of 5 by SEAcitizen Extremely bad service Had an unpleasant stay at the hotel. The staff in this hotel in general are rude and do not care about providing service. Many things went wrong during our stay: (1) An assistant director never returned emails after promising to looking into a matter. (2) The room service just simply said 'Sir, you can expect us at least 45 minutes to send you fork and knife since that's how long it takes to deliver food here'. I guess the staff cannot think out of the box and figure out a way to deliver fork and knife in a faster way! (3) Mini bar charges mysteriously showed up on my bill. (4) Mysterious charges appeared in my credit card statement a week after I checked out beyond the charges which I already paid when I checked out. It seems like the hotel is all about making money, but do not care about actually providing proper service. Definitely will not come back to this hotel. But first, I still need to waste time to get the mysterious charges reversed. December 25, 2012
Rated 2 out of 5 by NiJaLa Meets expectations for location but... I travel with SPG-branded hotels in Asia for work relatively frequently. The hotel meets expectations with regards to location in manhattan. Unfortunately, noise pollution; failure to clearly disclose fees; and questionable service trade-offs puts a permanent blemish on the experience. We stayed in a corner room facing seventh avenue and could clearly hear not only the hallway but also conversation from the next room. Investment in sound dampening would have been much appreciated. If its raining - I am used to the hotel providing umbrellas. This hotel instead asked me to purchase one from a street vendor for $5. Regarding fees, we were given toothbrushes / toothpaste at check-in when we asked the front desk. No one mentioned that the hotel charged $4+ until they showed up as an obscure line item on the final bill. Finally, the hotel does not provide a complimentary baggage check service to guests who remain in the area after noon- checkout. Management refer people to a $3.75-a-bag vendor service in the same hotel. Why the Sheraton would choose to add fees for basic service items on a $300+ USD per night hotel room is not clear to me. I do think that had a brochure of fees been available at check-in, it would be easier to swallow. Unfortunately they do not. As such, I can only take the low-road and infer the hotel is trying to maximize profit instead of loyalty from its customers. As such, I can not recommend this hotel to other guests looking to stay in the times square area without the above warnings. December 25, 2012

If her body is pointing away from you surely that should say her interest lies elsewhere and that's the end of that?
It's a little more complicated then that. She had to turn because she was preoccupied with something else. Its not that she turned her back on me in the middle of conversation and didn't want to face me. I know what you are saying, but as I said its complicated. =P
- Show Older Hide Older
Quit lieing to yourself you asked the question not to know what the body language meant but to know what SHE meant by the body language.
irrelevance I can't agree more about the emotion radar being useless when your interest is at a peak, its almost like your f***ing blind.
which actually leads to my answer: if she f***ed you over once she'll do it again, you shouldn't be chasing her that's dum. & as for the body language; arms relaxed behind the back, palms open and hands together says the..
Following things: I am confident & completely in control of the situation. from that you can tell she knows you like her & she knows she can screw you over whenever she wants, & considering the fact she's so relaxed she definitely is not interested in you. Believe me dude let it go its for the better there's girls oput there waay hotter than her.
How about not giving a f*** about what it means and going for her anyways? Lol, I never get these people who get so hooked up on little details that very often turns out to not mean anything at all.
Thank you very much. You saved my 3 minutes life to write what you just said. Seriously, people who care of those small details have no clue in dating.
Have an opinion?

The Committee on Contributions meets annually for 3 to 4 weeks, usually in June of each year. The report of the Committee is considered by the General Assembly through the Fifth Committee at the following main session.
Every year the Committee considers requests for exemption under Article 19 of the Charter. The Committee also reviews the status of multi-year payment plans, and elements of the methodology of the scale of assessments.
Seventy-third session
The Committee held its seventy-third session from 3 to 21 June 2013. The report of the Committee is contained in document A/68/11.
With regard to the methodology for the scale of assessments, the Committee:
(a) Recalled and reaffirmed its recommendation that the scale should be based on the most current, comprehensive and comparable data available for gross national income (GNI);
(b) Recommended that the General Assembly encourage Member States to submit the required national accounts questionnaires under the 1993 System of National Accounts (SNA) or the 2008 SNA on a timely basis. The Committee also expressed support for the efforts of the Statistics Division of the Department of Economic and Social Affairs of the Secretariat to enhance coordination, advocacy and implementation of SNA and supporting statistics at the national level, with a view to enabling Member States to submit national accounts data on a timely basis, with the required scope, detail and quality;
(c) Recalled and reaffirmed its recommendation that market exchange rates should be used in preparing the scale, except where that would cause excessive fluctuations and distortions in GNI of some Member States expressed in United States dollars, in which case price-adjusted rates of exchange or other appropriate conversion rates should be applied, if so determined on a case-by-case basis;
(d) Agreed that, once chosen, there were advantages in using the same base period for as long as possible;
(e) Decided to further consider all elements of the scale methodology at its future sessions in the light of guidance from the General Assembly.
The Committee also decided to study further the questions of automatic annual recalculation and large scale-to-scale changes in rates of assessment on the basis of guidance by the General Assembly.
With regard to multi-year payment plans, the Committee recommended that the General Assembly encourage those Member States in arrears under Article 19 of the Charter of the United Nations to consider submitting multi-year payment plans.
With regard to the application of Article 19 of the Charter, the Committee recommended that the following Member States be permitted to vote in the General Assembly until the end of the sixty-eighth session of the Assembly: the Central African Republic, the Comoros, Guinea-Bissau, Sao Tome and Principe and Somalia.
Under other matters the Committee:
(a) Took note of a request from Iraq and decided to use the external debt information provided by Iraq for the preparation of future scales of assessment;
(b) Recommended that the State of Palestine be assessed, as a non-member observer State, at 50 per cent of the notional rate of assessment of 0.005 per cent;
(c) Decided to hold its seventy-fourth session from 2 to 20 June 2014.

AC/DC are an Australian hard rock band, formed in November 1973 by brothers Malcolm and Angus Young, who continued as members until Malcolm's illness and departure in 2014. Commonly referred to as a hard rock or blues rock band, they are also considered pioneers of heavy metal and are sometimes classified as such, though they have always dubbed their music as simply "rock and roll". To date they are one of the best-selling bands of all time, with a total of more than 200 million albums sold worldwide.
Kiss (more often styled as KISS) is an American hard rock band formed in New York City in January 1973 by Paul Stanley and Gene Simmons. Well known for its members' face paint and stage outfits, the group rose to prominence in the mid to late 1970s with their elaborate live performances, which featured fire breathing, blood spitting, smoking guitars, shooting rockets, levitating drum kits and pyrotechnics. Before arriving at their current lineup, the band went through some lineup changes, with Stanley and Simmons the last two members of the original lineup of the band. Counting the 1978 solo albums, Kiss has been awarded 28 gold albums to date, the most of any American rock band. The band has sold more than 40 million albums in the United States, of which 24 million have been certified by the RIAA and their worldwide sales exceeds 100 million records, making them one of the world's best-selling bands of all time. The original 1973–80 lineup consisted of Stanley (vocals and rhythm guitar), Simmons (vocals and bass guitar), Ace Frehley (lead guitar and vocals) and Peter Criss (drums and vocals).

New staffer tasked with aiding families
Even though 5 million Americans have been diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease, families still whisper the name, the way they once did the C word.
Sue Gross, new education and family care specialist for the Alzheimer's Association-North Central Texas Chapter points out that sadly, unlike cancer with its evolving treatments and growing survival rates, for those diagnosed with the brain-wasting disease, there is only a downward path.
"There are no runs, no hats or car ribbons the way there are for cancer survivors," Gross said.
Her position, funded by a grant from the Priddy Foundation, tasks Gross with supporting caregivers of Alzheimer's patients, family and friends who often are thrust into a totally unfamiliar world. She will offer educational programs to nursing facilities and home health agencies.
The Alzheimer's Association estimates that 70 percent of those with Alzheimer's live at home where family members provide most of their care.
Just as concerning, though, are studies that show 60 percent of Alzheimer's caregivers are clinically depressed and 40-60 percent of spousal caregivers die before their diagnosed loved one.
"We take care of family. We help them begin to build the team it will take to care for their loved one," Gross said. "Some of them are just keeping their heads above water. We help them see what's coming and begin planning so they're not caught unprepared in the middle of a crisis."
It's a big mission for a woman who came to her career choice later than many college graduates.
After the death of her parents, Gross said, she was ready to go back to school. As her mother declined (not from Alzheimer's), she traveled hundreds of miles to provide respite care, an opportunity for her two sisters to take weekslong breaks from their roles as principal caregivers.
The process awakened a calling for Gross.
"As we stood in the hospital the day Mom passed, I wondered what would be there for my sisters, who had given so much of themselves for our mom's care," Gross said. "They turned to me and said, 'We'll get a 'sorry for your loss' at the nurses' desk. You're going back to school, so make a difference.' "
Gross completed her master's in clinical psychology and counseling from Midwestern State University in 2012. With funding from the Priddy Foundation, she collaborated with House of Hope for her published research project, studying how art can touch dim memories for Alzheimer's patients. She is earning intern hours toward becoming a licensed professional counselor.
Although she most often will be assisting spouses and adult children of patients, Gross has a powerful message for baby boomers.
"For the boomers, this will be our disease. We are the ones who will tip the scales for health care," she explained. "The biggest risk factor for Alzheimer's is age, and this generation will live longer than any before."
Admitting research still cannot point to the cause of Alzheimer's, Gross said the best advice being offered to those now entering their 60s is to stay healthy.
"What is good for the heart is good for the brain. Diabetes is also a risk factor, so we need to keep moving and take better care of ourselves," she said.
The Alzheimer's Association-North Central Texas Chapter serves Archer, Baylor, Clay, Foard, Hardeman, Jack, Knox, Montague, Wichita, Wilbarger and Young counties.

A recent research study conducted by University of Minnesota researchers found that teens are using steroids and muscle-enhancing substances at higher rates than previously thought. The study found that 5.9 percent of boys in the survey reported using steroids, while the rate among girls was 4.6 percent. The findings were surprising, especially since some of the steroid users were only in seventh or eighth grade.
Earlier unrelated studies have found that:
1. Among those who admit using steroids, 80 percent said they believed the drugs could help them achieve their athletic dreams
2. 65 percent of steroid users would be willing to use a pill or powder, including dietary supplements, if it guaranteed they would reach their athletic goals, even if it might harm their health
3. 57 percent of users said they would use it even if it could shorten their lives
4. About 6 in 10 users believe that professional athletes have the right to use steroids, and they think that using anabolic steroids for athletic purposes is legal.
5. About 60 percent of users said that professional athletes influenced their (or a friend's) decision to use PEDs
Beyond the Zone is a feature/documentary of how a 55 year old amateur powerlifter has defied the odds by setting two World Weightlifting Endurance Records at 53, and 54 years and is positioned to attempt another world record in 2013 at 55 - drug free!
It's a unique story of ground breaking "drug free" fitness training, teamwork, hard work, focus and inspiration developed to prove that performance enhancing drugs are not needed to reach your fitness – sports goals at any age!
All the funds from this campaign will be used to produce a 30 minute feature-documentary on the process of training as a "total athlete" and utilizing ground breaking training techniques to break World Weightlifting Records drug free! Big things are possible if you work hard, smart and stay clean!
Meet Walter Urban
The Discovery Channel - The Daily Planet
(I apologize for the two 15 sec commercials at the beginning)
Walter Urban, a US citizen living in Canada is the father of 3 girls 7, 11 and 14. Active all his life in sports such as distance running, skiing, parachuting, race car driving - he has also been training and competing as an amateur power lifter around the world for 17 years. Training 3 to 4 days a week, 2 to 3 hours per day, 50 weeks of the year. Having competed in the 2005, 2009 and 2010 World Championships finishing 6th in the World at 165lbs in 2010 drug free at the age of 52!
In 2010, injury and performance stagnation sent Walter in search of new training methods to get stronger. Along the journey fighting the effects of aging, blood pressure, body temperature, cardio vascular and lactic acid challenges, Walter nurtured and developed the concept of "total athlete training" centered around six core elements with the support of his core team of experts:
1. Maximizing activity specific technique or skill
2. Physical preparedness
3. Nutritional preparedness
4. Physical recovery
5. Injury avoidance
6. Mental performance
Based on the six core elements and 12 months of training in September 2011, Walter Urban attempted to break the Guinness World Record for the most amount of weight squat lifted in one hour set in 2009 by 32 year old "Six Pack" Ryan Lapadat.
At 9:50 am September 15, 2011 on live national TV Walter officially broke the record, exceeding his target weight; lifting 127,245 lbs over 904 squats on Live with Regis and Kelly. The weight lifted was equivalent to lifting 18 African Elephants in one hour or about 800 times his body weight at the age of 53!
Then at 5:00 pm September 29th 2012 in Niagara Falls, just a short distance from where Nick Wallenda took his incredible walk across the falls, Walter set his second Guinness World Weightlifting Record live on national TV - this time for the "Heaviest Sumo Dead lift in One Minute" lifting 10,535 lbs in 60 seconds. The weight was equivalent to lifting 350 cases of water or 55 times his body weight in one minute at the age of 54!

Live with Regis & Kelly and Sports Day in Canada
Freedom 55 – 60 sec Commercial
In these days of Lance Armstrong, Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens the message is about approaching fitness training from a new direction - that of the "total athlete".
As in the past, Walter's effort to break weightlifting world records is to stress the fact that "steroids and performance enhancing drugs are not necessary" to reach new heights in athletic performance – it's about training as a "total athlete"!
The core message of the film is to raise this awareness among the millions of amateur, semi-pro and pro athletes across North America - along with their dedicated sports fan base.
The secondary message is to bring attention to the fact "Age is not a Barrier", and adults can continue to remain healthy and get stronger longer than even before.
The following experts have helped Walter Urban develop the concept of the "total athlete".

It's been a long time
Since I have felt so alive
Lying in my blood
Look, a canary!
Sing and you'll get whacked, birdie
Found dead in a trunk
Chains and Whips
Typical sadist
Your pain brings me great pleasure
You should bleed for me
Oh, wow, she loves me
Picking petals from flowers
No, she loves me not…
Art at its finest
A twist of sick, dark humor
The Danse Macabre
I just hate this place
I hide my salty tears from
Those mean schoolchildren
Silence Is Golden
They think I can't talk
It is my choice not to speak
The joke is on them
Bring Me The Cloth
Please shut the fuck up
I have a pounding migraine
Where's the chloroform?
We're growing up now
From finger paints to degrees
We're drifting apart…
Kill Me Now
Quit wasting my time
Surrounded by idiots

I am a stakeholder in the success of Monroe schools because I entrust my children to their curriculum, staff, and facilities. My unique set of personal and professional skills will allow for a fresh perspective on the board.

I have volunteered in the classroom, at PTO functions, activities, and coaching. Although I unabashedly state that the best is great and abundant at Monroe, there are areas that are in need of improvement. We need to raise the bar on the expectations of our students, staff, administration and parents. I chose to run for the board because I know I can be an effective contributor and a strong voice for that higher expectation.

Atlanta Technical Program (Updated 6/1/2015) >>
The Technical Program features a strong focus on the design, construction and operation of High Performance Buildings, Refrigeration and the annual Research Summit.
Programs within the conference focus on advanced design guidance, modeling, operation and optimization, and Indoor Air Quality, which are key aspects of high performance buildings.
The need for "real" engineering as applied to operation, maintenance and operational optimization or "commissioning" can bring increased comfort and offers huge financial returns. And, the technical program meets that need as the Building Operation, Maintenance, and Optimization/Commissioning Track has the highest number of sessions scheduled.
A Laboratories mini-conference scheduled within the technical program addresses current practices in this area.
Mobile, moisture, data centers, weather data and BIM are topics covered in the Modeling throughout the Building Life Cycle Track.
The Advanced Energy Design Guides have been available for ten years. The Moving Advanced Energy Design Guidance to the Mainstream Track presents sessions describing some of the work in this area.
The third annual Research Summit brings together researchers to present and discuss the latest research. Papers and presentations describing ASHRAE-related research as well as papers from societies and associations worldwide are presented.
The technical program rounds out with "core" programs on HVAC&R systems, equipment, fundamentals and applications.
The Preliminary Technical Program was published in the April issue of ASHRAE Insights.
An interactive technical program is available through the Personal Scheduler. By logging into the Personal Scheduler, you will be able to view the technical program chronologically, by track, by program and by presenter, as well as create and print a personalized abstract booklet and export your schedule to your calendar. In addition, you will be able to add committee meetings and ASHRAE Learning Institute courses to your schedule.

Legendary NASA Flight Control Director Who Led the Effort to Save Apollo 13
Gene Kranz is the keynote speaker at the opening Plenary Session, held Saturday, June 27. Registration is not required to attend the Session, which also features the Honors and Awards program.
As the leader of the "Tiger Team" of flight directors who brought the Apollo 13 spaceship safely back to Earth on April 17, 1970, Kranz demonstrated extraordinary courage and heroism.
Commissioned into the US Air Force in 1954, Kranz flew high-performance jet fighter aircraft and was a flight test engineer on early jet bomber development. In 1960, Kranz joined the NASA Space Task Group at Langley, Virginia, as a flight controller on Project Mercury. He served as flight director for the 33 missions of Projects Gemini, Apollo, and Skylab, and led the flight control team during the first lunar landing.
Kranz retired from NASA in 1994 after 37 years of federal service, and is currently a consultant and speaker. The hit film Apollo 13 chronicles Kranz's struggle to devise the plan that would safely bring the ship and its crew of three astronauts home after its oxygen system failed. Actor Ed Harris portrays Kranz in the film, which was directed by Ron Howard.
Kranz was a co-recipient of the Presidential Medal of Freedom awarded by President Nixon for the Apollo 13 mission, and was designated a Distinguished Member of the Senior Executive Service by President Reagan.
Since his retirement from NASA, Kranz has served as a flight engineer on a B-17 "Flying Fortress," constructed an aerobatic biplane, and published a New York Times best-selling memoir about his experiences in the space program. His book, Failure is Not an Option: Mission Control from Mercury to Apollo 13 and Beyond, was selected by The History Channel as the basis for a documentary on Mission Control.

Delicious! A great way to use fresh veggies. I added garlic, as well, and it tasted great.
This was very good, but a lot of work with many dirty dishes at the end. I would suggest adding additional barley and sprinkling fresh parmesan cheese on top when serving.

City fielded 65 calls for help after stormPosted: July 26, 2012
Clean up continues following the severe windstorm that hit the City of Cranbrook and surrounding area last Friday.
Shortly after 6 p.m. on July 20, a fast moving storm entered the Cranbrook area. The storm consisted of strong winds gusting to more than 107 km/h and driving rains. The storm passed through the area in a short time, leaving behind extensive damage which has taken days to clean up. There were no reports of injuries, accidents or other serious emergencies following the storm.
At 6:14 p.m. on July 20, Cranbrook Fire and Emergency Services received the first of what would total 65 requests for services over the next few hours. Requests for service were received through 9-1-1, business lines and person-to-person as responders were approached while on scene of other events. Residents were checked on in homes which had trees fall on them and crews remained on site in higher risk areas.
Public Works reports that there was no damage to any city-owned facilities or properties as a result of the storm, with the exception of a few minor outbuildings. Damage to those outbuildings was minor. Public Works have been working throughout the week removing downed and damaged trees from all city owned properties.
There is currently no damage cost estimate as a result of the storm. Fire services, RCMP, Public Works and BC Hydro were mobilized quickly to help secure areas of heaviest damage, ensure the safe continuation of municipal drinking water and sewer services and assist in cleanup of the community. Residents also quickly rallied in cooperation and support of their friends and neighbours, working to clear trees and debris to allow for BC Hydro crews and other utility personnel to access those areas to conduct repairs.
"One of the hallmarks of our city is how people pull together in time of need," said Cranbrook Mayor Wayne Stetski. "To make the best of a bad situation requires leadership on the ground by the agencies that carry that responsibility so that our citizens can be there for one another in a safe way. Congratulations to everyone on a job well done."
Public Works is also assisting residents with removal of trees, stumps and branches from their properties, which began on Tuesday July 24. Residents are responsible for preparing the material into manageable sizes, to a maximum of eight feet in length and ensuring that it is accessible from the road or alley, as Public Works machinery and staff will not be entering private property.
Stumps will be picked up if the excavator can reach. City staff will not remove leaning or dangerous trees. If a fence needs to be removed to access, residents are responsible for that, as well as putting the fence back. To request a pickup, call Public Works at 250-489-0218 and be sure to leave your name, phone number and address.
Residents are also reminded that for any structural building repair required as a result of the windstorm, they are required to get a building permit. The permit application is available on the city website, under Engineering, or stop by their office at 1212 2nd Street North, behind the Library. You can also call 250-489- 0207 for more information.
