The Doctor
After the nurse asked the requisite questions and made the obligatory measurements, she sent us back to our little pen to dress down to the undies. And as I stand there urging them to sit and undress in my nicest possible mean voice (just in case those rooms are bugged or videoed to monitor parenting skills) they are making an obstacle course out of the room. Jump on the bench, climb on the table, leap off, run around the stool, repeat. And repeat. And repeat again. By the time I catch them and start undressing them myself, the doctor is coming in the room and John yells out the two words that instantly trigger madness and mayhem in my littles... "UNDIE MAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Please take a moment to picture my two littles, clad in nothing but their undies, making all sorts of super hero moves, poses and leaps, yelling "UNDIE MAN" at the top of their lungs while the doctor stares on. oy.
By the grace of God, they calm down and the doctor starts "interviewing" John. Let's just say things went much better when Mommy got to answer the questions.
Doctor: John, do you play outside?
John: Not really. (HUH???????? Have you seen the gazillion pictures of my littles playing outside in sun, rain, sleet and snow?? They play out side e.v.e.r.y.d.a.y. If for nothing else but to keep ME sane.)
Doctor: Oh. I see. Do you like to watch tv?
John: Yes. I love it. It's my favorite thing. (Really? I'll give you that the baby adores the tele, but John does not and never has. I'm not even sure that he's seen a full episode of a single cartoon. Ever.)
Doctor: Well, we're going to have to limit your screen time to one hour a day. (As he gives me the evil, you're a bad mommy accusatory glance.)
John: *whining* Ohhhhhhhhhh noooooooooo. Not fair. This is so unfair. One hour? Please, please don't do it. Pllllllllleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaassssssssssseeeeeeeeeee.
While I'm frantically trying to think of a way to change the subject (and the doctor is ignoring my protests that he DOES play outside), the baby steps in. He bends over right in front of the doctor and pulls down his undies in the back. And like fifteen toys fall out. Really. I could NOT make this stuff up. Three pirate eye patches, three mini swords, a pirate flag, his Disney World Key to the World card, the medal off of a soccer award, two K'nex connectors, a pirate coin and a short piece of Thomas the Train track. The worst part of all? Definitely the mini sword that I had to manually extract from between his cheeks with the doctor looking on. If things hadn't been so chaotic I surely would have noticed this extra load and have been able to discretely deal with the issue. Needless to say, the littles find this completely HYSTERICAL. John is bellowing about how Cookie pooped out pirate swords and Cookie is trying to shove it all back in his undies and I am trying to wrestle it away from Cookie to put in my purse while urging John to stop saying "poop." I must've been as red as a beet at this point because I can certainly say that I was completely mortified. Being so mortified, I was NOT about to take out my phone and immortalize the incident on film. Instead, I snapped this one of the "undie loot" once we arrived back home and I emptied out my purse.
Doctor: What's your name?
Whit: Whit.
(Me: whew! This is going to go well. Things are definitely looking up.)
Doctor: How old are you?
Whit: Twenty.
(Me: Scratch that.)
Doctor: Twenty?? Really, how old are you?
Whit: Twenty.
Doctor: You just had a birthday. How old did you turn?
Whit. I. TWENTY.
(Doctor frantically types away in his little laptop thingy.)
Doctor: You're three, Whit. Now, are you a boy or a girl?
Whit: I adult.
Doctor: If you're an adult, what am I?
Whit. A doctor.
Oh, and the whole time he's hopping around on one foot because the doctor had asked John to demonstrate this ability and Cookie evidently found it quite attractive.
We wrapped up shortly after that exchange. The doctor proclaimed the boys "completely normal and healthy" as he whisked out of the room. (If THAT was "normal and healthy", I shudder to think at what "wild and bad" must look like.) Really, I shouldn't have been surprised at any of this. It's like something about me is exuding the immense desire to show off my perfectly groomed (we put on all clean clothes, brushed teeth, made appropriate bribes for good behavior, etc.) well mannered children at the doctor. And my littles pick up on this signal and decide to thwart my plans if it's the last thing they do. Isn't that like the law of mommy-hood or something?
Oh, and I'd love a little peek into our permanent record. I can only imagine the things it must say.

Hilarious! Thanks for sharing with us!ReplyDelete
Hysterical. I am sitting here laughing because I have been through similar scenes with my kids! And the more you try to calm them down and make them say what you want, the worse they get! When my younger son was 4 and getting a shot, he decided that was the time to try out a bad word he caught me saying once. Yes, he heard it once, like 3 weeks before and chose that moment to shout it out. Lovely. It was fun trying to explain where he heard that...Thanks for sharing your funny story!ReplyDelete
You just made my morning! Thanks for sharing!!ReplyDelete
This is hilarious!!! I DREAD taking both boys to the doctor. By the time we get back in the car I'm sweating from stress :)ReplyDelete
HYSTERICAL!!! I'm glad I'm not the only one! My kids pulled the same untrue "we watch TV more than play outside" gag when they saw a specialist this fall, and I about DIED! Whit's underwear treasure trove is PRICELESS, though!!! Completely untoppable!!!!! :-DReplyDelete
This had me dying!!! Thanks for a fabulous laugh!!!! Children just adore embarrassing their Mommies!!! My oldest around the age of 4 said in front of a group that I was pregnant with him before Daddy and Mommy were married. Which is NOT true!!!! Soooooo embarrassing!!ReplyDelete
OMG - i am dying!!!!! this is the funniest thing i have read in quite some time. i don't know what my favorite part is, the sword hidden in the tush, cookie proclaiming he's 20, john's begging for more tv...hope you found a cocktail very shortly after this episode, blog-ff. xoReplyDelete
Dear Amanda Darling,ReplyDelete
I laughed so hard at this post that I cried! And the worse thing is that I know this is exactly true, with no embellishments! I have seen these 2 in action too many times myself! Well, I love them to pieces anyway. And I can vouch that they do go outside and play everyday..........even in terrible weather....because I have frozen outside with you and your hooligans!
You poor girl! Now if we were all there with you sure we would have had to stiffle our grins, but we know better! Mine are all over twenty but I'm curious how long doc have been doing this. Most my ped. ever did was ask the kids how are you! Times have changed, curious what mine would have said. P,S Mine were always chicken at the doc!LOL LoriReplyDelete
So funny! We have all been there. During one appointment when my oldest was supposed to get a shot, he burst out of the room, ran down the hall and hid under the doctor's desk. I had to drag him out kicking and screaming. Good luck next year!ReplyDelete
OMG, it is almost time for bed and I know I am going to burst out laughing later and hubby will ask, what's so funny and I won't be able to explain!!!!!!!!!! This was hysterical.....and you will see that in about 20 years:):):) XO, PinkyReplyDelete
SO funny, A! Thanks for the good laugh!ReplyDelete
- AnonymousJanuary 27, 2012 at 7:10 PM
Hilarious! It is so boring waiting in the little room to see the doctor. Your boys sound creative and fun. Whit's underwear present is priceless and his answer to the doctor was smart. What a funny story.ReplyDelete
omg... I would have died. That is HILARIOUS! I'm sure it wasn't at the time, but it'll be a good post to pull out when their kids make them pay!!!ReplyDelete
this made me laugh so much. it's always the way.ReplyDelete
OMG I will never drink coffee while reading a blog ever again. I just burst out laughing so hard I sprayed it all over my keyboard! So hysterical and so typical of the stuff kids do. I love it! (And I love your writing style!)ReplyDelete

Oh, you're doctor visit recap is hysterical and brings back some memories! I have two boys and I feel for you. My now 20-year-old son had a growth hormone deficiency when he was young. So I took him to an endrocrinologist as part of a prerequisite "let's see if he qualifies for growth hormone therapy" appointment, and the doctor asked my son what I fed him. Imagine my horror when he said, "My mom makes me drink Slimfast shakes." Now I admit that was true, but the shakes were in addition to the three fattening, healthy meals plus snacks I made sure he ate every day!ReplyDelete
I just found this post today. It is absolutely the best of all time on all blogs. I have tears running down my cheeks from laughing so hard. Your younger son has some real talent at hiding things. I don't know that there is a career in such a talent but I'm fascinated by it. Thanks so much for sharing the antics of your two boys.ReplyDelete

Easy Challah
|Active dry yeast
|1 Tablespoon (1 Package)
|Warm water
|1 1⁄4 Cup (20 tbs) (About 110°)
|1 Teaspoon
|Salad oil
|1⁄4 Cup (4 tbs)
|1⁄4 Cup (4 tbs)
|2 , slightly beaten
|Yellow food coloring/Pinch of saffron
|3 Drop
|All-purpose flour
|5 1⁄2 Cup (88 tbs), unsifted
|Egg yolk
|1 , beaten
|1 Tablespoon
|Sesame seed/Poppy seed
|1 Tablespoon
In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in water.
Stir in salt, sugar, oil, eggs, and food coloring.
Gradually beat in about 4 1/2 cups of the flour to make a stiff dough.
Turn dough out onto a floured board and knead until smooth and satiny (5 to 20 minutes), adding flour as needed to prevent sticking.
Turn dough over in a greased bowl; cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled (about 1 1/2 hours).
Punch dough down; knead briefly on a lightly floured board to release air.
Set aside and cover about 3/4 cup dough.
Divide remaining dough into 4 equal portions; roll each between hands to form a strand about 20 inches long.
Place the 4 strips lengthwise on a greased baking sheet, pinch tops together, and braid as follows: pick up strand on right, bring it over next one, under the third, and over the fourth.
Repeat, always starting with strand on right, until braid is complete.
Pinch ends together.
Roll reserved dough into a strip about 15 inches long; cut into 3 strips and make a small 3-strand braid.
Lay on top center of large braid.
Cover and let rise in a warm place until almost doubled (about 1 hour).
Using a soft brush or your fingers, spread egg yolk mixture evenly over braids; sprinkle with seed.
Bake in a 350° oven for 30 to 35 minutes or until loaf is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped.

Publisher's Description
She was moody and dark; chaos seemed to follow her. It sounds like the first page of a supernatural thriller, but instead, these were the first signs of Tammy's condition: bipolar disorder. Living with bipolar was not easy. Doctors didn't think the condition could exist in children so young, and Dorothy and her husband realized that some of their dreams for Tammy would never materialize.
Despite the difficulties, this family knew Tammy had been placed in their lives for a reason. God knew they would love her, no matter what; He also knew Tammy would teach them important lessons that only adversity could reveal. No matter the circumstance, God has a purpose for our pain. God Placed Her in My Path will assure you that, even against overwhelming odds, God's grace is sufficient for you.

For the first time in two decades, all residents of Tuscarawas County will be represented in the same Ohio House and Senate districts.
For the first time in two decades, all residents of Tuscarawas County will be represented in the same Ohio House and Senate districts.
New boundaries for House and Senate districts adopted by the Republican-controlled Ohio Apportionment Board this week put Tuscarawas County in the 98th House District — which includes the entire county and a portion of Holmes County — and the 20th Senate District — which includes all of Tuscarawas, Coshocton and Licking counties and portions of Muskingum and Holmes counties.
Republicans Gov. John Kasich, Secretary of State Jon Husted, State Auditor Dave Yost and Senate President Thomas Niehaus of New Richmond voted for the plan, fulfulling the state constitutional requirement that the board change state legislative districts every 10 years to reflect population shifts.
The fifth member of the board, House Minority Leader Armond Budish, D-Beachwood, voted against the plan. He said it fails to include a second majority-black Senate district in Cuyahoga County as required by federal law, a charge Republicans deny.
In 1992, Uhrichsville and Dennison were separated from the rest of the county (which was part of the 97th House District) and placed in the 98th House District. In 2002, the county was divided between two Senate districts, the 30th and the 33rd.
State Rep. Al Landis, R-Dover, who represents the 96th House District, said he is looking forward to running in the new 98th District. His current district covers all of Harrison County and portions of Tuscarawas and Belmont counties.
"It's kind of bittersweet, losing Harrison County and part of Belmont County," he said. "We made friends there."
Landis said he thinks the new district will be a good one, noting that "the western side of Tuscarawas County melds very well with Holmes County." He said residents in that area have common interests.
Still, he didn't think Tuscarawas County was at a disadvantage having two representatives in the House. State Rep. Mark Okey, D-Carrollton, represents the 61st District, which includes the eastern part of Tuscarawas County.
"Mark Okey is a class act," Landis said. "He is a very nice man to work with."
Okey has decided not to run for another term, citing family and health. Republicans severed Carroll County from a district with Democratic-leaning Alliance and northern Mahoning County and placed it in the 95th House district, which stretches south to Washington County. If he had chosen to run again, he likely would have had to face off against incumbent state Rep. Andy Thompson, R-Marietta, who will live in the new 95th House District along with Okey.
Okey said the 95th District is so geographically large, no state representative would have the time to know all the communities adequately in that district.
Page 2 of 2 - "I don't know if you'll ever see a state rep. He might come to a dinner, and that's about it," Okey said. "This map stinks. ... they did everything they could to avoid competition. They're political cowards, Republicans."
State Sen. Jason Wilson, D-Columbiana, who represents the 30th Senate District, faces a similar situation. Columbiana County, where he lives, has been taken from the 30th District and put into the 33rd District, represented by fellow Democrat Joe Schiavoni of Canfield.
Both men currently represent a portion of Tuscarawas County.
"Obviously, I'm concerned that the district I live in and represent doesn't exist," Wilson said. "I'm concerned that people will have difficulty identifying who their representative is."
He said the new district map diminishes the voice of eastern Ohio. "This is the worst of all scenarios for the people of eastern Ohio. It's confusing. If there is any one thing the government can do is provide stability. This is instability times 10."
Wilson said he hasn't made a decision on his future. He is a native of Bridgeport in Belmont County, which is part of the new 30th District. But he has two young children in school in Columbiana, and his in-laws live 20 minutes away in Pennsylvania.
He remains optimistic about his future. "When a door closes, another opens," Wilson said.
Ida Barlock, chairman of the Tuscarawas County Democratic Party, said the county will benefit from being the largest county in the 98th House District, but isn't as sure about the new Senate district.
"It would all depend on who decides to jump in for the race for senator," she said. "The kind of representation we get depends on who we get for senator because there are some bigger counties in the district, like Licking County. That would be a concern. We don't have much in common with Licking County. They're more urban than we are."
Tom Hisrich, chairman of the Tuscarawas County Republican Central Committee, said redistricting is always a trying time. "In most instances, if the Republicans are in power, Democrats don't like it. The converse is that when the Democrats are in power, the Republicans don't like it."
Hisrich, who also serves as chairman of the Tuscarawas County Board of Elections, said the board will actually benefit from the county not being the largest in its state Senate or congressional district. "If you're not the largest county in the district, it greatly reduces the amount of work you have to do on election night," he said.
The largest county board in the district serves as the tabulating board on election night, which is a "substantial endeavor," he said.

Operator: Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to the National Bank of Canada First Quarter 2013 Results Conference Call. I would now like to turn the meeting over to Ms. Helene Baril, Director of Investor Relations. Please go ahead Ms. Baril.
Helene Baril - Senior Director, IR: Thank you. Good morning and thank you for joining National Bank's first quarter 2013 results conference call. In a few moments Louis Vachon, President and CEO will start the call with his opening remarks. Then Ghislain Parent, CFO and Executive Vice President, Finance and Treasury, will present the overall Bank performance as well as the capital management review. His comments will be followed by the presentation of Bill Bonnell, Executive Vice President, Risk Management who will cover the Bank's Risk Management section. Following his comments Jean Dagenais, Senior Vice President, Finance, Taxation and Investor Relations will cover the business units' results. Then we will take your questions.
Please note that Diane Giard, Executive Vice President, P&C Banking; Ricardo Pascoe, Executive Vice President, Financial Markets; and Luc Paiement, Executive Vice President, Wealth Management will also be on hand to answer your questions.
Please also note that all documents referred to in today's conference call can be found on our website at nbc.ca in the Investor Relations section. I would also like to remind you that a caution regarding forward-looking statements applies to our presentation and comments.
Over to you, Mr. Vachon.
Louis Vachon - President and CEO: Thank you, Helene. Good morning and thank you for joining us today. In the first quarter of 2013 National Bank posted record adjusted net income of C$361 billion or C$2.02 per share, up 2% and 1% respectively from the same period last year. Return on equity was 19.8% and their common equity Tier 1 ratio on their Basel III stood at 7.85%. We continue to deliver excellent financial results in a competitive and slower growth environment, thanks to our (enormous) initiatives to expand our position in the P&C and Wealth Management business units.
In Personal and Commercial Banking loan volume still reaches double-digit growth. The full deployment of our new mortgage platform is expected to start this month as planned. This will enhance client experience, increased cross-selling opportunities and reduced operational costs. In their first quarter of 2013 Wealth Management perfumed very well with earnings increasing by 22% on a year-over-year basis due to a successful integration of our latest acquisitions and more favorable market conditions.
Financial markets also did well with the strong performance in corporate banking and debt underwriting. Lower loan losses helped offset significantly lower investment gains compared to the same period last year.
On the credit side, the bank still enjoys stable condition and their supportive environment to maintain the lowest level provisions for credit losses in the Canadian industry. In the first quarter 2013 PCLs amounted to C$32 million or 14 basis points.
With an economic environment showing moderate GDP growth in 2013, we intend to maintain tight control over our expenses. We anticipate the Bank's operating leverage to be slightly positive for 2013. While we await the regulators update on the (DCIB) status, we are targeting a minimum Basel III ratio of 8% including the negative impact a CVA charge before reactivating the share buyback program. We expect to get to that target by Q4 2013 at the latest. I would like to underline that potential ABCP gains are still very much relevant, as they would positively impact earnings and capital and therefore could allow us to reach the 8% target prior to Q4 2013.

Rated 3.3 out of 5 by 863 reviewers.
Rated 4 out of 5 by albert4904 you have excellant help great hotel but should have safes in rooms. August 28, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Atraveler123 Helped when i desperately needed it I recently wrote a horrible review on the university Sheraton down the street. I was coming in from a red eye flight and was exhausted. I was met with the worst customer service at the other Sheraton so I called this Sheraton to transfer hotels. I was practically in tears and the man at the front desk at this Sheraton completely turned my day around. He was so incredibly nice and accommodating and made sure I had everything I needed. I am so thankful for great customer service and this experience shouldn't go without recognition. August 26, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by JoeDE The hotel has the most friendly and helpful staff We were only there one night to attend a concert. The staff could not have been more friendly or helpful. Their recommendation for dinner was perfect. The room was very clean and comfortable, though the bathroom could use updating. The location was perfect. I expect a lot from Starwood hotels and this one did not disappoint. I would definitely recommend it. August 23, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Maryland14 Large hotel downtown Philly This hotel is large and centrally located in downtown Philly. The room we stayed in was spacious. The restaurant/ bar area was not fully staffed and there were long waits just to put in an order. The rest of the hotel was excellent. It was a good 2 night stay. August 20, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by Dirtyroom01 Unsatisfactory stay The room we where given the carpet was so dirty I would not take off my shoes the bath tub looked like they were wash cars in it.. I request to change rooms and they did but the new room wasn't much better... I asked why the sheets where not changed and they told me that they were going green and the only why they would change the sheets is if you request them to...now that was crazy..and the price was out of this world and so not worth it.. I was so disappointed and ready to came home... The construction was ridiculous...such a waste of money.. August 19, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by Annoying Several Stays The fire alarm goes off consistently. I have not received my starpoints for "Make a Green Choice" for my last 3 stays (4-5 days each). The facilities are not continually cleanly. August 19, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by LilyPoppy Housekeeping issues but excellent staff responsiveness Stayed for an extended weekend and will stay here again next time iI visit Philly. First room assigned smelled like vomit and had an air purifier going on (not very effective I must say). Second room assigned was a smoking one (when we pointedly asked for a non-smoking). Third room smelled nice and fresh. One of the beds was missing the thin comforter, there were no hand towels and the bathroom floor had some sticky dark stuff all over. Nevertheless the response of the guest services staff was excellent in dealing with the issues, so I'll definetely stay here again August 19, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by JohnW63 Nice Hotel, but currently encountering renovations The hotel rooms are nice, spacious and comfortable. Currently, the restaurants/bars are under construction, which provides for limited options in the hotel. Nonetheless, it is in a great location that has much to offer. August 18, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by Vespasian Perfectly adequate if not exceptional I've started coming to Philadelphia semi-regularly on business, and this was my third stay at this Sheraton in the past 14 months. It is an older hotel, but I have always found it to be perfectly adequate for my purposes and a good alternative to some of the more expensive properties nearby. Still, I am wavering on whether or not to stay here next time for reasons I'll get to shortly. Pros: Comfortable rooms and good bedding. I really appreciate the thermostat in the room that allows you to select a specific temperature as opposed to "warmer" and "cooler." Staff is not overly friendly but not rude either. I would call them professional and certainly met my expectations. Good room service. The salmon is excellent. Good fitness center. Cheaper than many nearby properties. Cons: It is older, though that really doesn't bother me. Yes, there are stains in the carpet. I don't think this is a big deal, though some people seem to be turned off by it. Lastly - and this is the one that has me reconsidering for next time - it is apparently quite common for the fire alarm to go off. I was just sitting down to breakfast in the hotel restaurant on the morning of August 13th thinking I had plenty of time when sure enough the fire alarm went off and everyone had to evacuate. This was about 6:50 in the morning. By the time the all clear was given to return to the hotel I had to rush in and eat my breakfast - now completely cold - in about two minutes so I could make my meeting in time. This was annoying because the breakfast was fairly expensive. I would normally chalk this up to a fluke and "life happens," but I overheard a housekeeper mention this was the fourth time in six months this has happened while she was working, sometimes in the middle of the night. It seems unlikely to me that guests would pull the fire alarm for kicks this often, so I am guessing something is triggering false alarms. For a business traveler who needs to be "on" it isn't good to have it in the back of your mind that there is a roughly 1 in 40 chance you could be aroused from your bed in the middle of the night by a wailing fire alarm. For this reason I am considering another hotel next time. Still, all in all I would give this hotel a cautious, if not enthusiastic recommendation. August 17, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by Feeder Service I called two days earlier to request fridge raider for myself into coworker reason why I have that allergy and I tried it with allergy medication upon my arrival I check with the front desk will then confirm to me that there was no record showing that I had requested the fridge either for myself or my fellow colleague I was vary disappointed for the week that I was here I went without fridge I had to throw out my meds August 16, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by sgardens Super stay in Philly The staff was amazing! From bartenders to concierge, best staff I've seen in a long time. August 14, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by kt101 Always a perfect stay! The staff here is exceptional, always smiling and always taking the extra step to make your stay perfect. August 12, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by werfamily This hotel has great features Beautiful hotel , within walking distance to local attractions .Large rooms (no refridgerator or microwave ) Flat screen TV Could not use guide to search for programs , had to look up channels in book provided . Air conditioner a bit confusing , thermostat on wall not in inside window unit , housekeeper showed me how to use. Excellent staff ,very friendly . August 11, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Michael8383 Friendly staff, clean and comfortable. Staff was incredibly courteous and helpful. Room was clean and would stay here again. Hotel restaurant food was good. August 11, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by Nothappywithstaff You pay for what you get... The title says it all. The cheap room price is representative of how staff treat you and the quality of the over all hotel. The rooms are outdated, not comparable to the west coast or larger major cities at all. everything is old. Some staff were ok, but others were just rude, and forgetful. I was a vendor at one of the ballrooms and I asked if I could pointed to a bell cart. One, very young boy in a suit said "Oh, I'll bring one up to you sir" and after I packed everything up, which took me about 40 minutes, there was no bell cart in sight. They forgot about me. Another person at the front desk told me I had to carry everything upstairs when I stumbled in through the front doors, exhausted from carrying the over-sized boxes. I didn't even get "would you like me to help you with that?" Overall, it may just be how Philly people do it out there, but there's something this hotel, and its staff could get a lesson on, such as hospitality. After all, this is your so-called expertise, is it not? August 11, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by fratkid21 Not SPG Quality This hotel should not bear the Sheraton name. It is not up to the quality. Several items in my room were broken: shower faucet, sprinkler system, air conditioner, and the outlets on the walls were missing face plates. The towel rack on the wall was falling off. More importantly, the carpet in the hallways were dirty and stained. The inch of carpet along the walls (all the way down the halls) were caked with dust. The wall paper was peeling off of the walls. This was the most disgusting SPG property I have ever seen. The Sheraton name should be removed until this place is renovated. August 11, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by GWYNYC Centrally located and very comfortable This is our 2nd time at this hotel, it is in a good location and parking is convenient and inexpensive. This time around we had spectacular view and when we had an issue with our room key the responsiveness was quick and efficient. Check in took forever because a group came in, but they were handing out water bottles and tried to keep everyone happy. I did not rate the food because we ate out. August 11, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Pots802 Great Place for a conference The hotel hosted a conference and all of the conference spaces were nice. they did a good job of setting the rooms up and having them ready in time for all the attendees. August 11, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by lukewarm This hotel is okay, not great. I tried to rent a movie and waited 10 minutes for it to load and then called the front desk to let them know. I had to wait 10 more minutes on the phone before I spoke with someone. By then, I didnt have time to watch the movie. They took the movie fee off my account, but wasn't particularly apologetic. Cleaning services was very nice. Room was spacious. It was a good 10 minutes from the conference I was attending at the convention center. August 7, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by HJL62 Okay Waht was good was complimentary WIFI. Bad was that due to reconstruction, no bar where on could get a cold beer in the evening. August 7, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by T07312014 Facilities and service not commensurate with price Spacious and reasonably responsive front desk staff. BUT: No bath mat 1st day (maids forgot?), tea bags not replenished in time, no safe nor mini refrigerator/cooler in room at such a high room rate. The breakfast restaurant staff seemed stressed and unresponsive. August 7, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by zyxwvut This hotel needs an upgrade I was a participant in a large convention that included several other Philly hotels. I chose Sheraton because of my SPG status. The room was clean, but its features were dated. The phone didn't work, but I only found that out on the last day of my stay. The open food service in this hotel was extremely limited, though the food that was part of one of the conference events was creative and tasty. The wine served was barely drinkable--never finished my glass. August 7, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by leaf456 Not up to Sheraton standards From check-in to check-out, I continued to run into problems and unpleasant experiences. The hotel was run-down and dirty.My room was not ready at 3 pm check-in and I was oddly pressured to accept a different type of room instead (and I refused). My room was dirty throughout when I did eventually get into it and housekeeping did not service it well each day. I had to asked for room amenities that were supposed to be standard. The Club lounge was shabby, dirty, poorly-maintained, lacked even minimal amenities and the staff (when someone actually was there) was rude -- they could be heard to complain about other guests and about management. The hallways carpets had the same pieces of lint, dirt and bits of paper throughout the five days, indicating that it did not see a vacuum cleaner. I was served undercooked food in the restaurant after waiting a long time to be seated in the empty space. The front desk staff with one notable exception was not professional. At checkout, I was comp'd one of my 5 nights for the series of inconveniences (without my even asking for it by the only staff member who seemed to be trained and interested in the guest experience); however, that did not make up for the dreadful condition of the hotel. This place needs a total revamp of facilities and staff. August 6, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by proffffas conference hotel great meeting space; classic conference hotel. Staff was over the top in trying to accommodate you -- especially the concierge desk . The restaurant for breakfast was beyond horrible -- cold eggs, coffee had to ask for, poor service; other bistro option was in renovation. Rooms were absolutely fine but would have preferred to have continual fan running to cut noise in hall and not have on and off AC -- woke me up a few times. overall, staff excellent, food service needs improvement. GREAT location near Barnes, walk to Phil Museum of Art, 20 min walk to Liberty Bell. August 6, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by academy2 Comfortable beds; great gym! This hotel was really welcoming, and the beds were really comfortable. The gym was far better than I've seen in most hotels. The decor in the hallways could have used some sprucing up, but otherwise it was a great experience. August 6, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by ChronicVacationerGirl Spring Break with my kids I stayed here for a spring break vacation with my kids and to visit nearby family. The hotel was immaculate and the hotel staff was friendly and very attentive. When we arrived in our car there was quite a few staff members tending to us...I felt like a VIP!! The great attention made us feel as if we were diplomats or something. My kids really enjoyed the pool and my older son worked out in the gym which was clean and centrally located. The housekeeping staff was so nice and helpful. I would definitely go back, in fact the Starwood family of hotels is my preferred goto hotel chain domestically and internationally. One of the best things about staying at a Sheraton hotel is the bedding!! The down duvet cover and cozy pillows were like sleeping on a cloud...best sleep EVER!! August 6, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Dale2301 Chapman Family Reunion Our family had an exceptional experience during our stay in early August. It exceeded our expectations in every way...even the "PECO Surprise" Sunday morning turned out to be fun for the family! Every department, from the front desk folks, the concierge, to housekeeping, bellmen, food & beverage were all friendly and efficient! Even the random Sheraton employees we met around the hotel were gracious and helpful! Please extend our special thanks to all the Sheraton Philadelphia Downtown staff for us for making our reunion a terrific success! August 5, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by JimmiBoi Doesn't measure up No internet access unless you pay extra. Coffee maker spits steam in the air and then delivers less than half a cup. Two little plastic cups provided. Ice machines on odd numbered floors and only one in four of them actually work. Electricity failed at 7:00 am on my last day and was still not restored when I left at 10:00 am. August 4, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by Laurie408 Fire in the Basement There was a fire in the basement and the information given to the guest was not enough and horrible. The alarm told us not to use the elevator or the stairs so we were on lock down but later we were told that we were suppose to have left the hotel. The updated info. was just not done the staff should have been updating us every hour at least especially since it started at 4:00 am and didn't end until 12:15 pm. The food at the restaurant was not great and the waitress was no where to be found and the restaurants' manager was rude when we asked about the apology letter we received about the fire. I heard several people mention that this was a Sheraton Hotel only in name not in what is expected for this Hotel Chain. August 4, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by danie615 Great stay except for morning of departure Came down to Philadelphia for weekend vacation. Arrived at the hotel, staff was very friendly and accommodating. Room was ready and checked in a little early which was a nice plus. Room was clean and comfortable. Housekeeping was very accommodating asking if I need anything to let them know. The only reason I am not giving them 5 stars is that the morning of my departure, power went out at 7am and there was no communication with guests until 7:50. They first said that it would be fixed shortly and then came on a little while later and said they didn't know how long it would take to be resolved. I wasn't going to check out until close to 11 but decided to check out early because the room was getting warm. I was not enjoyable showering by cell phone light. They also had only one elevator working because certain parts of hotel had power. Took about 10 minutes to get to the lobby in a very cramped elevator. When I checked out they gave me a complimentary breakfast buffet which I appreciated but they need to communicate with guests a little better. A worker there mention it happened last week as well.

Just posted! Panasonic DMC-FZ18 review
Just Posted! Our review of the latest Panasonic 'super zoom', the Lumix DMC-FZ18. Essentially an upgraded version of the FZ8 the new model is one of several models released this year to sport a whopping 18x (28-504mm equiv.) zoom lens and an 8MP CCD sensor. We were slightly underwhelmed by the last 18x / 8MP camera we reviewed, but Panasonic has an excellent track record when it comes to image quality and usability, so we had high hopes for the FZ18. Did it live up to them? Check out the comprehensive review after the link to find out!...

Big Rivers Electric moving to acquire land for joint project with Vectren
HENDERSON COUNTY, Ky. - Big Rivers Electric Corp. has filed 11 condemnation suits against property owners on behalf of a transmission line planned to be built across Henderson County, Ky.
The suits are seeking permanent 150-foot-wide easements stretching from near the Henderson County Detention Center off U.S. 60-West to the Big Rivers power plant complex near Sebree, Ky.
Some of the properties in question are in the city of Henderson, but several of the easements would be adjacent to an existing transmission line easement that runs from south of Henderson to the power plant.
The transmission line will be built by Evansville-based Vectren Corp. as part of a regional project intended to benefit various power companies including Big Rivers.
An easement would give Vectren authority to run a 345,000-volt transmission line across private property, including allowing crews on the property in the future to perform maintenance or repairs on the line. Under Kentucky law, a rural electric cooperative such as Big Rivers has the right of eminent domain.
Nearly 60 easements in Henderson County and a small portion of Webster County are needed for the project.
Several of the landowners who are defendants in the condemnation lawsuits filed in Henderson Circuit Court have filed counterclaims, challenging the legality of Henderson-based Big Rivers seeking to force easements on Kentucky property on behalf of Indiana-based Vectren. Some landowners are also declaring that the compensation Big Rivers offered for a voluntary easement was too low.
Big Rivers and Vectren are members of the Midwest Independent Transmission System Operator Inc. (MISO), a not-for-profit organization that manages the electric transmission network in parts of 11 states and the Canadian province of Manitoba.
The transmission line planned here is a MISO project intended to improve regional power reliability and improve the movement of large amounts of power by providing new connections between three power companies that are MISO members.
The line would connect Big Rivers' Reid power station near Sebree with Vectren's A.B. Brown power plant near Mount Vernon, Ind. A second transmission line connects the Brown plant with Duke Energy's Gibson Station near Princeton, Ind.
The overall project is estimated to cost $80 million to $90 million, including $50 million for the portion that will cross Henderson County.
Vectren spokeswoman Chase Kelley said in an email message last week that the company hopes to start construction in late 2012, but added that "is certainly dependent upon a number of factors, including the easement acquisition process."
Big Rivers spokesman Marty Littrel declined to comment on the lawsuits, including whether more suits are expected, because of the pending litigation.
Big Rivers officials said in 2010 that Vectren doesn't have the authority to condemn property in Kentucky and that Big Rivers, as a partner in the project, would take on that responsibility, if necessary.
