This day in Jewish history / Greek Jewish community withers following fire
A fire that probably started in French army barracks in 1917 delivers death blow to Thessaloniki's prosperous Jewish community.
Text size
On August 18, 1917, a fire began in Thessaloniki, Greece, that destroyed some two-thirds of the city, including most of its Jewish quarter. As a consequence of the fire, which left some 70,000 people homeless, it has been estimated that close to half of the city's Jewish population left Thessaloniki.

The new emails are in, and lots of talk about conference realignment, college hoops and the draft.
Bill wrote about the future of the Big 12: "I'm a Cowboy and here are my admittedly ignorant opinions on conference re-alignment possibilities. If the Pac-10 takes Utah, they will take BYU as well. BYU is a much larger school than Utah and they command attention in Utah like OU does in Oklahoma. Can you imagine the OU alumni and fans if OSU wanted to leave the Big 12 for the Big Ten and leave OU behind? This would be similar. BYU is the OU of Utah. The Utah legislature won't allow Utah to leave without having BYU attached to the deal. Besides, would you really prefer Colorado to BYU? The same thing applies to Texas and its schools. The four Texas institutions in the Big 12 taken as a whole benefit from being together in one conference. Even if UT, with or without A&M, were to gain from joining the Big Ten or Pac-10, the others would suffer greatly. As a legislator in Texas, if the aggregate benefit of the four together is more than the aggregate benefit of UT leaving for another conference, you would force them to stay together."
No way will the Pac-10 take BYU, under any circumstances. The Pac-10 is run by a bunch of elitists. And those elitists want no part of a fundamentalist university like BYU. You might be right that Utah politicians wouldn't let Utah leave without BYU having a place to go, but that place to go could be the Big 12, which wouldn't mind BYU's politics. As far as Texas, that's an interesting point. There was a time when Baylor and Tech had to be considered by UT. No way could Texas leave without A&M, but I'm not sure if Texas AND the Aggies now could leave without Baylor and Tech. The political leadership has changed from the '90s. Enough to screw Baylor and Tech? I don't know.
Clay: "I agree the Big 12 would lose Texas in a heart beat if they change the revenue stream. Previously it was said that our TV contracts haven't been real good, but it should change when they are renewed in a couple of years. It would seem your argument for better scheduling in football nonconference games would allow for a bigger payday for the conference. Last year there were weekends with no attractive games for the networks."
You're exactly right. And by the way, Texas might be turning around a little, playing a little better schedule. The Longhorns have UCLA this season, UCLA and BYU in 2011, and Ole Miss in 2012.
Kevin, a Nebraska fan: "Just something I wanted to ask you about Texas being the engine that runs the B12. I wanted to point out one thing that I completely disagree with you on. Our TV market. In the 2009 Gator Bowl, NU/Clemson produced a 4.1 rating, or a 58% increase from the previous year's game. And in the 2009 Holiday Bowl, the game had a 3.7 rating with 4.2 million viewers and I could argue a majority was Nebraska, since Arizona doesn't have much of a following for football, as compared to 2007 when UT played ASU and drew 4.2 million viewers as well. It should also be noted, since maybe you don't know, that NU is the No. 4 most profitable football team in college football (according to Forbes) behind UT, Notre Dame and Penn State with a $49 million dollar profit in 2009. So while I am not in any way saying UT is not a big driving force, NU is right there with them. I mean, a large amount of our fan-base DOESN'T stay in the state of Nebraska. We've become spread out across the entire U.S. Anything to assist in the debate AGAINST the TV ratings thing. I really just can't see our ratings being THAT bad when we have such a large fan base."
Then you need to get your eyes checked. Fan base and television market are not anything close to the same. Need a bowl team? Need a sold-out stadium? Nebraska's your man. Need a TV market that will boost your network contracts by tens of millions of dollars? You won't find it in middle America, other than Texas. This is the way the world works. TV sets are like the Chinese army; they overwhelm you with numbers. Ohio, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Illinois. Those are huge states, and the Big East is looking to add even more, like New Jersey or New York. Not Nebraska. Nebraska offers the TV markets of Omaha and Lincoln. Texas offers the TV markets of Dallas, Houston, San Antonio, El Paso, Austin. And draws the same kind of national crowd that Nebraska would draw. The Big 12′s network contracts would be cut severely without Texas. They would not be significantly impacted without Nebraska.
Larry, a Texas Tech fan: "Feudalism worked well for a long time, for the guys in the big houses. I have always considered the Big 12 to be an oligarchy run by and for the benefit of three schools. Any pecuniary benefits accruing to the other nine of us are just whore's pay. If ever the Mountain West were to be admitted to the BCS party, I'd vote for my school joining without a backward glance (assuming the Texas Legislature, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the UT Law School Alumni Association, would allow it). Does DeLoss Dodds realize that he is not going to be able to bring the Austin Mafia with him if they go to the Big 10?"
Yes, I think Dodds realizes it.
Toby: "I enjoyed your articles on the Big 12. I am native Okie living in SEC country. Regarding your list of possible schools to join the conference, I think BYU may have a broader appeal than just TV sets in Utah, because of the presence of Mormons throughout the western U.S. and California. Also, I recently read an article in the Salt Lake Tribune that said there is a strong sense in Provo that the liberal Pac-10 schools would oppose BYU because of the ultra-conservative politics of the LDS. I have always thought Arkansas was a better fit for the Big 12 than the SEC (and their recruiting has never been the same since they no longer play games in Texas like they used to), but I know it is highly unlikely they would leave the SEC. So, if CU makes the unwise move of bolting for the Pac-10, my vote is to add BYU."
I agree completely. Heck, I'd probably vote BYU over Iowa State right now.
Bruce: "With the news of UT seeking greener pastures, I see a decent chance OU gets screwed, especially considering that OSU is likely going to be a millstone hanging from OU's neck. The Big 12 in its current form is only going to last at most 10 years but more likely no more than five. There are already too many schools in it resentful of the power that UT wields and the big ado that has arisen in the past two weeks only enhances it. Even though fans of every other school hate it, if they are honest with themselves they know that losing UT destroys the conference in terms of national image. The two killers for OU are if UT goes to the Big Ten and that is the sole addition. I have doubts that UT would be able to leave A&M in that kind of bind, since the Texas legislator is controlled by former Aggies. The worst scenario is UT and A&M leave for the Pac-10 and the Big Ten snares NU or MU. Under the first scenario you can go on with Utah, TCU or New Mexico and move on after taking a pretty damaging hit and an especially bad one for OU because UT would be more likely to drop OU than A&M as a nonconference game. Under the second scenario, there is nothing outside of the 20 million or so people in its footprint that anyone cares about watching on TV. OU would still have a national name but they aren't playing anyone in conference games that the nation is going to really care about seeing. They basically become the Big East 1500 miles west. No way OU stays nationally relevant for very long in football and it happens even faster if UT decides to end the OU series. The best that OU can hope for with that is that the SEC sees value in adding them and three other schools (Mizzou, Miami, FSU, Georgia Tech, OSU or Clemson) to make a 16-team conference, however unlikely that may be. Short of that pipe dream, the best for the remaining Big 12 is for it to become a nine-team Big East Western division and plays the Big East Eastern division in a title game but not in any interdivisional games. I won't even attempt to think about how that basketball tourney would work. For OU, the best scenario outside of complete madness if UT leaves is that the Big Ten or Pac-10 decides to go beyond 12 schools. If we start under that pretense that save Utah or BYU no non-BCS team is going to get a call. Why would the Pac-10 whore itself out to Boise with their 35k stadium and 10 years of I-A tradition just to add a title game and divide the pie by another slice, especially considering how bad they are in every other sport? Then the list of viable candidates for Big Ten and Pac-10 expansion come from either the Big 12 or Big East. I doubt any team from the Big East is a primary target of the Big Ten. Pitt is not a bad fallback option but doesn't add to the footprint of the conference and though it is a national name adding it to the conference doesn't make the cable company in say, Tucson, we have to add the Big Ten Network to our basic lineup without other schools being added as well. So most of the new blood for each of these conferences would come from the Big 12. If the Pac-10 goes beyond 12 schools, it's likely to go to 16 schools, assuming it keeps up with the tradition of traveling partners, which wouldn't be a terrible idea since basketball can now easily have weeknight doubleheaders with teams in the central time zone."
Thanks, Bruce. And go stretch your legs. I actually cut this email more than half. It was 1,450 words originally. Amazing how people can get so worked up. I think, Bruce, that you are too pessimistic. I think Texas is with the Big 12 for a long while. I think the other league members know Texas steers the boat. And if the Big Ten can't get Notre Dame, it very well could come after Texas. But it might not, and even if it does and UT rejects the Big Ten, the Big Ten almost certainly next would look East, toward Syracuse or Boston College or Rutgers. They would bring more television sets than Nebraska, Missouri or Kansas, and that's what it's all about. I sort of like the Pac-10 Eastern Division concept. That would be kind of cool.
Edgar: "Texas wasn't going anywhere. They would never have abandoned the SWC castoffs. The Big Eight bailed out the old SWC. If the league lets UT bully them out of lunch money, wusses. By far the NFL is the most successful sports enterprise in America and it practices good old-fashioned socialist revenue sharing. In MLB's unfettered winner-take-all free market, all yawn as the Yankees win a title.
I think Texas would and could leave Tech and Baylor, if it served the 'Horns' purpose. And in the last nine years, nine franchises have won the World Series and 14 have made the World Series. In the last nine years, six NFL franchises have won the Super Bowl and 13 have made a Super Bowl. I don't like baseball any more than the next guy, but at some point we've got to quit talking about the NFL's parity and ignoring baseball's.
Mel, a Mizzou grad: "Your assertions about Texas/Big 12 revenue sharing are all just fine and the old Big Eight schools know/recognize all about the Texas/OU side of things. But there are two things that are really off base in your article. Believing anything Dan Beebe says in support of anyone other than Texas is like believing Nancy Pelosi. Do you really think anybody (even the people whose puppet he is) takes him seriously?? What a joke! And if MU likes what it hears from the Big Ten, it is a strong entity to step away from Texas. If that happens, Colorado will seriously welcome Pac-10 conversations, and at that point, Nebraska will weigh its options as well. No matter how much Nebraska may benefit from its alliance with Texas and OU, it does not like playing little brother to those schools. It wants respect and I have a feeling they will consider jumping if MU does. Let's be honest. The Big 12 has catered to certain schools at the expense of MU (can you say KU in the Orange Bowl after losing to MU?) . There are certain things that MU will always allow to the Bigger Boys, but letting KU football (and Lew Perkins) walk over an MU presence will not be tolerated without long-term consequences. There is a political presence in the state of Missouri that is highly independent, and when it comes to a league insulting this school with its strongest rival, that does not go away ever!"
Let me get this straight. Missouri is still sore at Kansas for going to the Orange Bowl, so it's going to stand up to Texas? That's nonsense. It's getting old, hearing the North talk about puppet commissioners. Missouri is not in any kind of position of strength. Missouri will not "like" what it hears from the Big Ten. Missouri is on the Big Ten's doorstep, begging, with hat in hand. And Missouri is a last-ditch option for the Big Ten. Mizzou, and to a lesser degree Nebraska, has no political pull. Missouri adds nothing to the Big Ten. Nebraska adds good football but is the worst kind of conference addition. They bring no TV sets and they will beat your butt. Meanwhile, Colorado doesn't have the money to do anything, including leave. You're right. Texas has been calling the shots in this league. For one reason. Because it can.
Jay wrote about OU's desire to produce a DVD series on its history: "I can tell you what OU should be doing – whatever Notre Dame does, because ND is the only collegiate football power with 2,000 years of experience in promoting itself. It is a place where religion and football have been intentionally intertwined. Just like OU."
You know, here's one thing I thought about on all this conference alignment. What if OU went independent? And here's what I think. I think Sooner football would be OK. I think it could put together a solid schedule and still be a national contender. But basketball would get murdered. Absolutely murdered. Basketball would fall off the face of the Earth.
Jason wrote about my use of Boomers as a Thunder side name: "If the Boomer nickname truly bothers Okie State alums so much, why haven't they done anything about Boomer Lake in Stillwater?"
Because it's not Boomers that really bothers people. It's having nothing to bitch about.
Mark wrote about my Mike Holder column: "I agree with you that Mike Holder probably made the right call in firing Sean, but he carried it out in an extremely poor fashion. You rightly credit Holder for fracturing the fan base. But it wasn't because he fired Sean that fractured the fan base, it was the reasons Holder publicly gave for firing Sean that fractured the fan base. Basically, what you've said is Holder lied about why he fired Sean. I agree. Publicly Holder only said that Sean was a victim of Eddie's success; that not making the NCAA tournament three years in a row was unacceptable; every reason given basically pointed to the won/loss record. I know this because I'm one of the fractured fans. I read every article, watched the new conference, read the transcript of the news conference and no reasons were ever given other than on-court performance. Sure there were rumors of other reasons, but the rumors went both ways. So I tried to stick with official public statements. Based on what was announced, the decision to fire Sean was completely wrong, unjust, unfair and totally unacceptable. Therefore, I could no longer support OSU basketball. I had been an avid Cowboy fan since I attended OSU in the late '70s. I have rarely missed attending, watching or listening to Cowboys basketball in the last 20 years. I used to plan my schedule around Cowboy basketball. But in the last two seasons, I haven't watched more than three or four games. I've turned down several opportunities to use our company's season tickets, all because of the way Holder and OSU administration handled Sean's dismissal. I used to think OSU had great integrity. I can't tell you how pleased I was when Leonard Hamilton suspended Richard Dumas two years in a row from post-season play. Our best player suspended. Hamilton could have easily dragged his feet, let him play, then handled it internally during the off-season. But Hamilton made the right decision for Dumas and OSU, he had great integrity. Bottom line, Sean Sutton was OSU family and you don't treat family the way OSU treated Sean. All this misperception is because Holder decided to lie. If Holder had just told the truth, stating that his decision to fire Sean was primarily due to factors other than Sean's won/loss record, but for privacy reasons he was not willing to talk about it publicly, I would have accepted that decision and statement. But Holder was deceived into thinking that lying would be the best way to handle the firing. In reality he was trying to take the easy way out. By blaming Sean's firing on his won/loss record, publicly it would blow over faster and the fractured fan base would come back once OSU started winning again. But that's the deception of lie. I believe Holder has done far greater damage to OSU than he would have if he'd only told the truth. I also wonder if Sean would have received help sooner if Holder had told the truth. I guess that's something we'll never know, but I must say, I'm surprised that you're letting Holder skate on this issue. I've listened/read enough to know that you know the importance of being truthful. I'm surprised you missed the mark with this column."
You've got to be kidding. You say Sean was family, and you don't treat family the way OSU treated Sean? What do you with family? Throw them under the bus and then back over them? You wanted Holder to say Sean was fired for reasons he couldn't talk about? Sean's career would have ended right there. The way Holder handled it, he gave Sean a shot at straightening up. Holder took the bullet, took the criticism for firing a coach whose record wasn't that bad. And he let Sean keep his dignity and, if he wanted, try to get clean in private. We now know that Sean squandered that chance, but that's not Holder's fault. And while Holder didn't come completely clean, he wasn't outright lying. Here's the telling quote from Holder: "Whether it's right or wrong, we have high expectations of our basketball program. We felt like we could do better and hopefully we will do better. Only time will tell. I feel like this is the best decision for us going forward." But you'd rather Holder have said Sean was fired for reasons that have to remain private. Which means imaginations can run wild. Substance abuse. Chasing coeds. Embezzling funds. Turns out, it WAS that bad. But Holder spared Sean. There was no good way to handle it, thanks to Sean himself. I think Holder handled it in about the best way possible.
Brad: "How long has it been since OU football and basketball was this bad? The combined record of 2009 football (8-5) and 2009-10 men's basketball (13-14) will be the worst since 1980-81, when the teams combined for a 19-20 record (10-2 football, 9-18 Basketball). Thank goodness for gymnastics."
You know, this season could surpass 1980-81. If Capel's squad loses out, it will finish 13-18, making a combined record of 21-23. Which will be worse than 1980-81 and send us back to, I don't know, the mid-'60s to find a worse athletic year for the flagship sports.
Doug wrote about my blog chastising Jeff Capel for some of his actions this season: "I support Jeff Capel's program. That said, anyone remotely associated with Oklahoma basketball this year would have a very difficult time arguing against this latest posting."
Here's my main point. Why are college coaches so off limits? They control their environment, from players to largely schedules, too, and yet if things go south, it's never their fault. Until they're fired. Why can't we have solid dialogue about a coach's fallacies, without lopping his head?
Jeff: "Your truthful inference provides a depth to the otherwise static nature of stats and promotional lit. In my neighborhood, we have a garage association. Nearly all of us being Sooners, conversation often turns to OU sports and the like. I find myself defending your work because my die-hard buddies think you're an OU-hater. Of course that's not the case. Mentioned to my wife last night while catching about three minutes of the OU-KU game that it was time the men's coach was publicly questioned."
Either I'm an OU hater or an OU homer. The difference is small. Two little letters in the middle.
Douglas: "I've been saying this for six weeks. He's paid the big bucks to figure it out and properly motivate everyone. I don't expect to make the Great Eight every year, but missing the tournament is unacceptable."
I would disagree. I don't think missing the tournament is unacceptable. Sometimes things happen. But OU is about to finish 4-12, 13-18, something like that. That's getting unacceptable. And let me say something about the NCAA Tournament. When a traditional tournament team misses March Madness, there's a trend that argues, see, it's not as easy as everyone thinks. Yes it is. For a good basketball school in a major conference, the NCAA Tournament is very easy to make. A school like Oklahoma (and Oklahoma State) has to play its way out of the tournament, not in.
Bob: "Is Capel showing signs of being John Blake-like? Great recruiter but low to average coaching skills. Too early to tell?"
No, it's not too early to tell. Capel is nothing like Blake. Blake was clueless. Capel is not.
Kent: "Good article on Capel. The first year wasn't on him. This year is on him. Next year, he will be under heavy pressure. It's like OU football. A bad year coaching. Injuries happen. Line up and play."
I don't think there will be any heavy pressure on Capel next season. But Capel has nowhere near the injuries football had. This team stunk before Warren got hurt.
Jim: "Good to see you and your paper chastising someone who needs it. Sometime I wonder why the paper is not tougher on some sports figures in the state. I also think Capel will become a better coach, but his decision on not letting the players dress in OU garb and not using the dressing room was just plain stupid. How do you back down from that if it doesn't work? Which apparently it did not and only served to further alienate his team."
Excellent point. Capel left himself no wiggle room.
Mitchell wrote about the NFL Draft: "As to Dez Bryant and his NFL future, I am not as optimistic as you and most the other pundits predicting greatness. Of course, he may wind up with 1,000 catches and I will eat my favorite dish, stuffed crow. But until I see it, here is my exhibit list: 1. Hart Lee Dykes: After getting every school from the Great Lakes to the Gulf Coast on probation, the highly over-rated one from Bay City flopped in the NFL. While he had great hands, he was no blazer and couldn't run routes to save his life. But we were told he was going to be a superstar. 2. Rashaun Woods. This OKC product had flypaper hands and the speed of Alex Karras. His NFL career was el-busto. If he were a baseball player his patron saint would have been Clint Hartung or Clint Hurdle. We were told he was going to be a great " NFL receiver, something akin to Jerry Rice. He played more like Anne Rice. 3. Adarius Bowman: Boy was he going to be a great pro, we were told. Best receiver in the Big 12. Big, fast and physical. Look out NFL, here comes the next Paul Warfield. So far, Bowman's career makes Malcolm Kelly, by comparison, look like Don Hutson. Based on the above, I am skeptical about OSU ends at the next level. OSU receivers are like Texas Tech quarterbacks. They are best undrafted and products of the system. Throw in Bryant's other issues, and I'm not buying this hype. And not to pick on the Aggies too much, I must also say that anyone who thinks Zac Robinson is an NFL quarterback should be forced to watch old Randy Dean highlights from Northwestern."
Who in the heck is Randy Dean? And by your theory, Sam Bradford has no chance in the pros, since OU hasn't had a quarterback throw an NFL pass since before World War II. I think Dez will break the OSU mold. And Dykes was not a bust. He had 49 catches for 795 yards (16.2 yards per catch) and five TDs as a rookie. In Year 2, he had 34 catches through 10 games, for 549 yards (16.1 yards per catch). Then he got hurt and never played again.
Karan: "A talented, law-abiding, normal and decent athlete was a delightful read over breakfast. Thanks for an encouraging and uplifting column. I wish Russell Okung much future success."
Here's an untold story. Athletes of Nigerian descent. They seem to be pretty solid citizens. I go to church with a couple of Nigerian families, and they're high achievers.
Jeff wrote about Tiger Woods: "How come the PGA Tour suspended John Daly for 'unwanted publicity?' But yet, they don't fine Tiger Woods? I guess this isn't 'unwanted publicity?' I mean he disgraced his family, and his sponsors, and even made the world make fun of the PGA. So why doesn't he get suspended, too?"
John Daly's antics made Tiger look like Andy Griffith. But Daly still didn't get suspended. Only when his behavior carried over to the course. Not showing up. Walking off. Being a goofball in the middle of a round. That's when he got suspended. If you started suspending people for private-life nonsense, our society would crumble.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Tolkin Nice Place Jacuzzi non-functioning after suggested by staff. August 28, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Fern0750 This hotel has a great staff I had a wonderful experience celebrating my sons wedding and I couldn't of asked for a better staff experience especially Lisa she made my stay perfect. I love her! Thank you so much August 27, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by JagD Do not use this hotel!! The food in the restaurant, I use the term food loosely, was terrible, expensive and barely edible. The staff looked bored, uninterested in guests and provided incorrect information. The location was dreadful could not book a taxi or rent a car. For a Sheraton, it was dredful. August 20, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by irritatedguest Poor Service! Weak! Nobody at the counter when I checked in. Had to ring the "bell" several times. Gave me a room with someone in it. Back down to the front desk to ring the bell for another 5 minutes. No rooms left. Had to give me a twin. Checked out at 6:30 and again nobody at the counter and had to ring the bell. Get a clue, this is not 5 Start service and you shouldn't need a survey to figure it out. August 17, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Coffeemanken Made to feel special We stayed on your club floor. This was a great idea. Never tried this before but we will do it again very soon. August 12, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by CaliforniaVisitor Mahwah Sheraton The hotel is in need of a facelift (paint chipping, holes in ceiling on 22nd fl. & pool). Front desk staff is rude (specifically Melissa has a bad attitude & never says thank you!) The housekeepers are pleasant, but I found a foreign clump of hair in the robe in the bathroom. Only 1 of 4 computers in Bus. Center works. The gift shop is a scary hole in the wall. Breakfast is not always fresh. August 11, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Christina35 Great place Rooms were clean and nice. Beds were comfortable. Staff was helpful in getting items and directions. August 9, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Giants1985 Beautiful Hotel The hotel grounds were very trimmed and kept up, beautiful scenery at hotel, and very clean rooms. Staff was extremely nice and willing to help with anything we needed. Definitely recommend to anyone staying, kids friendly too. July 29, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by njs1 what needs to be done to get back what you use to have work out room is below standard for this type and rate,business center, no privacy July 23, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Cscbalto Perfect for us Friendly staff, clean hotel, easy in/out. Will stay here again. July 21, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by CigarBob OUTSTANDING experience! Due to a family emergency we had several family members spend a few days at this hotel. I called the hotel directly to ask about a reservation and John was able to help us out immensely for a 3 night stay. As a Platinum SPG member he upgraded us to a junior suite. The Club lounge had a wonderful selection of food and beverages both in the morning and evening. More than anything the people at this hotel made our stay so positive. They are warm and appreciative and made us feel welcome and very appreciated. Would HIGHLY recommend this hotel to business travelers and personal travelers alike. Thank you to John and all of the staff at this hotel for making us feel so welcome! July 13, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by FrequentTraveler13 TRANQUIL LOCATION POSITIVES: Very friendly staff, I was upgraded to a junior suite.The staff here are an asset. Thank you Jonathan, Alex, Lisa and others. Beautifully located amidst mountains. NEGATIVES: House keeping staff were disturbing guests by knocking on their doors on the 22nd floor at 8 am in the morning. I had a do not disturb sign hanging outside and they did not knock on my door. I feel that this practice is unacceptable and rudely wakes up guests in the morning especially if they have had a late night or have checked in after a late night flight. I could distinctly hear the door knockings. RESTAURANTS : I ate at FOUNTAIN VIEW restaurant and the staff there is very friendly. The food is good but some seats need to be cleaned as there are stains on couch seating areas, The breakfast here is AMAZING POOL/TUB: Pool and hot tub located on the ground floor are amazing. You will need your room key for access. OVERALL ATMOSPHERE: Family, seniors, Corporate guys and a LOT of WEDDING PARTIES. . RECOMMENDATIONS: Kindly instruct housekeeping to not awaken guest at 8 am by knocking on their doors. Also please take care of hotel guests during wedding party times as they DO FEEL NEGLECTED. Multiple reviews to this fact are a testament. OVERALL: An AMAZING SPG hotel. You will feel relaxed and energized here. Its located amidst mountains, has beautiful gardens and its away from the busy and congested NYC. June 23, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by SabFan strange place ... but nice stay the hotel appears to have seen much better days ... the propery just looks and feels dated ... but the staff was excellent, the rooms were clean and comfortable, and the meeting rooms and services were very good the location is a bit strange too ... Mahwah seemed an odd locale for such a big hotel (?) there is nothing else in the area June 18, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by Willow16 Never returning I wanted to surprise my husband on our 6 year wedding anniversary with a night at the Sheraton, since we got married here. They said they would provide " complimentary"strawberries and champagne. We got our bill and they charged us for it and lied saying they spoke to me about the charges! Furthermore they wanted to charge $12 for wifi which ended up not even working!! Horrible experience and I will never stay at a Sheraton again. June 18, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by VL2013 night before wedding I stayed with my bridesmaids the night before my wedding at the Sheraton Crossroads. When I first arrived I had to wait 20+ minutes for a ball hop to come with a cart to help unpack my car. I would have done it myself, but there weren't even any carts available. I booked a junior suite which is really just a regular sized room with an adjoining living room. I was also charged an additional $40 for a refrigerator... I feel like that should be included in a junior suite you booked for a night and the entire next day (I was charged for a guaranteed late check out) I was told the room slept 5- there were only 2 beds so we had to request a cot. It was brought quickly. We also requested a steamer for my dress and the girls dresses but was told there was none on the property- for a large business hotel I was quite surprised at this. One toilet clogged on Thursday night at around midnight but was told no one could come fix it until 6:30 am but someone would be there first thing- no one showed up so we had to call and request a maintenance man again. We had ordered breakfast room service for 11 people, it was a bit late. We also had to call twice that morning to get it cleaned up/taken away before the photographer arrived- no one came so we eventually just left everything in the hallway. While the room was clean, there was not much attention to details especially when we had a large party staying at the hotel, it was for a special occasion and I am a SPG member. June 17, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by santri1969 Good North Jersey Hotel Stayed multiple times at this hotel and it is a typical Sheraton property with a lot of business travelers - good service and consistent SPG platinum upgrades. June 16, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by AS2013 AMAZING CUSTOMER SERVICE...AMAZING ACCOMODATIONS! HOTEL MANAGER, ALEX- A.M.A.Z.I.N.G! I could go on & on about my experience at the Mahwah Sheraton! First & foremost, I have to recognize & graciously thank the Manager, Alex from the bottom of my heart! He literally saved the day! After flying in from Michigan to surprise my husband on our special anniversary of when we met, and clearing it with Corporate @ Sheraton, I was told I would be allowed to get into my husband's room even though I was not registered under the room & he had no idea I was coming. I arrived to find out there was no way at all I would be allowed into his room without his permission. I was informed by the manager Alex who was very kind. He patiently explained it was not possible & he would lose his job if he did let me into my husbands room. It was against the law actually! That was understandable except for the fact that I had not slept in 24 hours & just experienced a cramped flight & a nightmare of a taxi ride from LaGuardia to the Hotel which cost me more than my flight! I couldn't contain my tears from being tired & very frustrated. I walked away from reception considering if I was going to have to spoil the surprise for my husband who was working on a project locally & would not be back to the hotel until at least 6pm! It was only about 10am when I arrived! I couldn't contain the tears but within a short few minutes, Alex approached me in the lobby & very kindly & sincerely showed compassion & understanding about my frustration. But he took it a step further....he very graciously offered me a parlor room to rest in temporarily until my husband arrived. I didn't think this would have been possible since reservations were completely full when my husband booked his stay! Alex saved the day & weekend for me! I was able to rest/get refreshed and very successfully surprise my husband upon his arrival! It turned out to be the best anniversary ever for us after 16 years since we mey & 11 years of marriage! At every turn, Alex along with the rest of the hotel staff were genuine, patient & sincerely sweet providing the best service ever! I am forever grateful & will never forget the kindness Alex showed! It was customer service beyond all expectations! It was wholehearted customer Care & Concern and always with a smile! I am an Office Manager myself of a very successful Dental Practice in Michigan so I realize how important Customer/Patient/Client Care really is! You cannot fake the genuineness displayed by Alex & the staff at this Hotel Resort! They all really love what they do & it shows! Thank you to Alex & Anthony (Anthony was awesome for helping us with the truck parking) & the girls at the reception desk, to the restaurant staff, the gentlemen at the flower shop and the gift shop & everyone else at the Mahwah Sheraton for everything! More about the hotel: Gorgeous hotel/resort, beautiful grounds, spotless clean at all times anywhere you looked, great accomodations & services offered! I have never felt more comfortable at a hotel/resort! I actually felt very welcome as a guest at all times! Before I look at any other hotel/resort....I will always check to find the nearest Sheraton! And I look forward to returning to the Mahwah Sheraton one day soon! Thank you again!!! ~A.S. & J.S. June 15, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by megmyst great hotel - no bellmen? Great hotel. Clean, water fountains in nice area to stroll around, glass elevator with views of hills. Not far from.Rt 17 - nice setting once you get to it. Surprised no bellmen on duty last 2 stays to help us with luggage. Had to use luggage racks ourselves & needed help. June 11, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by BusinessTraveler Clean, Comfortable, Accomodating, but Needs a Real Business Center Given that this facility is a conference center, there is no excuse for not having a staffed business center. There was no assistance available, for example, for sending a fed ex. June 10, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by Grant28 Hotel mahesh very disappointing stay Check in was less than good No luggage trolley to be found We had to take our 6pieces of luggage up to club floor ourselves Club room not equipped for the 3 people we booked for Club lounge unkempt and dirty tables Overall very bad experience When manager contacted he said this was all standard practise June 6, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by FrequentTraveler13 AVERAGE WEEKEND STAY POSITIVES:I love this hotel for my weekend stays. The staff is amazing and the location is beautiful. There were two weddings this weekend at this location NEGATIVES: This is a popular location for weddings in summer especially Indian weddings wherein a few hundred people converge upon this property creating total havoc. The elevators are hard to access during these times as hundreds of people can be in line and it might be a while before you reach your room. There a 3 elevators numbered 9. 10, 11 and they have limited capacity. The wedding invitees tend to cram in there like sardines making the situation dangerous. CLUB LOUNGE: When there are weddings at this hotel the quality of club lounge food deteriorates and I noticed it during this visit. The cheese was stale and tasted awful and the fruit was also stale. This NEVER happens on other weekends. The club lounge also had a stench of cheap ladies perfume as the wedding invitees had used the lounge until 1800 hrs on one day as their personal dressing room. The club bathroom smelled horribly too. In addition some guy walked into the club lounge with a ton load of alcohol bottles stating that he wanted 20 people to party in the club lounge and wanted to empty the lounge fridge to store his alcohol. The club lounge attendant informed him that it was not possible to party in the lounge but he insisted that the front desk had approved it. The front desk had to be called for clarification. All this transpired while there were children in the lounge. JUNIOR SUITES ON 20TH FLOOR: The junior suites on the 20th floor are NOT at par with the suites located on the 21st and 22nd floor. Hairdryer in 2015 had steam oozing out of it and I was very scared to use it. I reported it to the staff but unfortunately it could not be replaced. The staff is amazing but were very busy on this weekend. Overall this is a great hotel and in a beautiful location which you will enjoy. I just wanted fellow SPG members to be aware of the pros and cons. June 4, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by FrequentTraveler13 CASH AND POINTS STAY. I was amazed to see cash and points available at this hotel and gave it a shot for 1 night. You will have to part with 5000 points and 75 bucks not including multiple types of taxes. If you want a free night its 10000 points. Honestly save your points to use at a Category 5 or 6 Hotel in NYC, Florida or Beverly hills/Hollywood. This hotel can have reasonable prices and I recommend paid stays here rather than points stay. Overall Great hotel as usual. June 4, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by Smalls Be aware of big parties I spent extra money for the club floor and was told that we would be able to use the club only later to find out that it was closed for a wedding after arrival. There was also a wedding party which occupied the majority of our floor/hotel that was making a lot of noise. I was advised that staff would control the noise after complaining, which they did not. I was also told later that we could not move our room due to the hotel being sold out. I have never felt so disrespected as a paying customer ever in my life. So to all that look to stay at this hotel make sure there are no large parties booked. Because they will let them have the run of the hotel and your rest will not any concern of the staff. June 4, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Mike One rough night The hotel was excellent and beautiful. but we had a rough night. We were just around the corner from the elevators. We tried to get to sleep around 11 pm and by midnight we were frustrated with patrons talking as they went to their rooms. Also, the doors to the rooms closed loudly and did little to diminish noise from the hallways. At midnight I had to go open the door and ask people from two rooms who spenttime in the hall talking loudly to please go to their room to talk. May 26, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Diego71 This hotel has a great garden Nice hotel with a great garden. Clean and new. May 24, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by FrequentTraveler13 BEST IN NORTHERN JERSEY/BERGEN COUNTY I just love this hotel. Most beautiful and serene location, very friendly staff and great food. Makes you feel at home. The only issue is the IBAHN internet which can be slow during specific times of the day. Connectivity is also an issue. Club lounge is beautiful and so is the food. I must thank MAKEDA for all the hardwork and making club lounge visits pleasant. I am also very grateful to JONATHAN, LISA, MELISSA, ANTHONY AND TRAVIS at the front desk for always being super nice. I wish to also thank KATHY who is always there for breakfast on Mondays to greet me and my son and help us with a quick breakfast in the club lounge. I wish to also thank anybody who I have not mentioned above and who has helped me out. All the hotel staff are like family. May 20, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by ronnie This hotel is very classy! Overall, happy with the facilities! Would have loved a refrigerator in the room. Very loud neighbors next door. May 20, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by Thatldo13 Sheraton Mahwah needs rehab I grew up near Sheraton Mahwah, which was The Place to be. Now its run down, in need of much rehab. Minor things that could be done are replace dead trees & plants. Food is horrendous, plus expensive. Please - revive yourself to what you can and should be for the area. May 20, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by 1503 Disappointing The room itself was very nice but it was very hard to sleep because it was right next to the elevators and I heard them going up and down all night. I could actually hear a gentleman from next room relieving himself, as well. I was hoping to purchase something from the store but it was closed by the time I got back from my meetings. Finally, I'm told after the fact that I should have had a discounted rate because of the company I'm with but I did not know that and reservations never asked. Overall, although the room was nice, the experience was disappointing. May 14, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Wally55 Great Club Room improvement My wife and I visit this hotel 2 to 3 times each year. The registration staff is very friendly and efficient and recognizes our names. Since our last visit, the club room food presentation , quality and food choices have have been greatly improved. The breakfast buffet room has had the same improvements. Keep up the good work.

Detroit Lions defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh was fined $30,000 by the NFL on Wednesday, but says he didn't kick Houston Texans quarterback Matt Schaub on purpose. That's why Suh insisted he doesn't need to apologize to Schaub. "I was dragged to the ground," he said. "A lot of things happen to me. It's part of the game." Suh spoke to reporters Wednesday for the first time since his left cleat connected with Schaub's groin area in Detroit's loss to Houston last Thursday. "It's a crazy play," he said. "It's one that unfortunately happened. I didn't even realize until the end of the game and (on) my Twitter feed, I see my friends telling me about it. "You can't do much more about it. I was being dragged to the ground and my foot inadvertently hit the man. It's over with. I'm moving forward." Suh dodged another suspension from the league, which has fined him instead for his latest questionable move on the field. His reputation, though, has taken another hit. The NFL suspended Suh...

Madison — Wisconsin's non-conference football game Sept. 18 against visiting Arizona State has been set for a 2:30 p.m. kickoff, ESPN officials announced Tuesday.
The game will be televised regionally by ABC and can be seen out of region on ESPN2.
UW's non-conference schedule has been maligned in recent seasons, and this game will mark the first time ABC has televised the Badgers against a non-league foe in the regular season since 2007 vs. Washington State.
Kickoff has been set for four of UW's 12 games in 2010.
UW opens the season at 10 p.m. Sept. 4 at Nevada-Las Vegas; hosts Minnesota at 11 a.m. Oct. 9; and hosts Ohio State at 6 p.m. Oct. 16.
According to a UW official, none of the Badgers' other games will be played at night.
The Badgers and Sun Devils have met only two times, with Arizona State winning both games. The Sun Devils won, 42-16, in 1967 in Madison and 55-7 in 1968 in Tempe, Ariz.

I tend to like quirky fun girls that are pretty with decent feet. A nice smile, with a positive attitude, this is crucial for a long-term relationship. It's hard to be upset when someone smiles at you. Looking for a social woman that can take care of herself and those around her, but also knows where home is. I am addicted to stimulation in life so I'm always trying and doing new things. I believe in traditional loyalty and I have strong southern roots. My soap box...

If we are having a really nice moment and I feel the time is right to give you a nice kiss, I want to be able to do that. Putting the brake on beautiful moments will not be endearing, it will only confuse and place regrets in my head. If I don't truly like you, I will not kiss you. Things I know I want in my relationship. Deal breakers! * Wants to laugh rather than pout. I will not live life fighting and arguing. * Understands loyalty and family. If you can't understand long-term and love for family, you will not be able to understand me. * If you stuff your face or body with botox or coligen, stay away. Lots of plastic surgery is a turn off for me. A respectable boob job or minor corrections is not a problem but major rearranging is a no go for me unless its health related. * Forgiving. (lil drama as possible) Things I prefer but are not deal breakers * Cook or grasp healthy foods. * Nice legs. * Can handle herself in the Walmart parking-lot drinking beer or at the yacht club sipping martini's. * The understanding of sexy, many girls now-a-days just don't understand the art. A look, that whisper, all the nonverbal communication I find really attractive. * I prefer a bisexual girl * Look good wearing anything from my jeans to an evening dress. * Something that your good at is very attractive to me, I want to support and see you achieve goals and help you in your passions. * Don't be busted over weight. Average struggles is not a problem but if you are a mess and have no real care for health I'd prefer to keep looking. I'm not trying to be mean but my mother was very abusive to me and over weight and I have refused to allow that in my life. I hope you don't find this being to picky but truly honest in understanding myself and knowing the needs I want in a future partner. I truly hope and pray for someone special, I believe that person is out there. I know I am ready and desiring to give my heart to the right girl. * Some of my positive attributes - I have a motorcycle that is fine tuned and meticulously maintained. - I have a Honda Del Sol, it's not the coolest or the prettiest car in the world but when I was a kid and saw it on TV for the first time I said that, that was the best car I ever seen. The car is so much fun, two seats and the top comes off, I love it! - I love kids, I don't mind a girl with kids if I can be their father. - I am a healer, not in a weird way but those around me are always left better off than I met them. I find solace in being able to care for people. - I live below my means. I live in a small 2 bedroom trailer that is inexpensive. No need to be "keeping up with the Joneses" - I have a considerable amount of money put away for a home when I am ready. - I prefer to take care of my girl, I don't want her to "have to" go to work every day. I want her to live bill free, I want to provide for her without worries about daily needs. I want to take care of you. - I am an entrepreneur on the internet, I work at a boarding kennel for animals and I teach special need kids how to ride horses. My salary fluctuates but it is never below 40k a year. - I have been to Spain, France, Portugal, Costa Rico and England. I love to take cruises. - I want to love you.

"I have traveled all over the globe and know what it is like to stay at an average, impersonal hotel. Always when I had a chance to stay in a small, privately owned place, I would. And that's how, in short, how I came up with the idea of offering accommodation myself."
Next to that I run an internet company focused on sites and online services for accommodation owners like myself. One of those services is a professional 'do-it-yourself' website builder specifically for B&B and apartment owners called Stinngo.
And these are things I like: travel, sailing, skiing, photography or just a night out to the movies."

Originally written on Waiting For Next Year | Last updated 10/29/12
Who caught your eye? Did someone stand out? Who blew it? That's what were interested in this morning. Winners and losers. Good win for the team. It was a confidence builder and another shot for young players to get valuable experience. Not to mention, it didn't seem like any of our players were injured, which is always a plus… WINNER: Trent Richardson. It's a good thing Richardson didn't listen to sports radio last week. He may have sat until the bye week or just figured his running style doesn't translate to the NFL and hung 'em up. Good grief. All the rookie did was average 5 yards a carry against one of the better defenses statistically against the run. He scored the game's only touchdown. Good for Trent. Looks like someone may have been right about him last week. WINNER: Greg Little. This really has nothing to do with his pass catching. Aside from the one holding penalty, which was certainly a hold against the DE, Greg Little did an exceptional job blocking. At the game I counted three blocks he threw that sprung Richardson for more yards. Well done Little. Winner: Johnson Bademosi. Yep, I went there. From my seat behind the Chargers bench, I can tell you that Bademosi was in the heads of San Diego's special teams units. He destroyed Charger gunners trying to get downfield to cover punts. He also fought through a block to down the punt on San Diego's two yard line, and nearly recovered the fumbled punt. Good effort on special teams. LOSER: Clock/Field Position Management. Terrible job by the Browns in this area. There were at least three times the Browns crossed mid-field and came away with absolutely nothing. Weeden, you can't take that sack to push the team out of field goal range. Can't happen. WINNER: Billy Winn. First career sack, and second fumble recovery in as many weeks. Not to mention several decent plays in the running game. Me likey. Alright. Your turn.

Be still: an appeal to Nigerians
On the occasion of the Carol of Nine Lessons organized by NTA and Radio Nigeria on December 10th last year, I was invited to deliver the message. I chose to speak on the theme, Do Not Be Afraid as a means of encouraging our people against the backdrop of fear and frustration that was mounting at the time.
Since then, things have gradually snowballed well beyond what one had either feared or hoped. On Christmas day, a bomb exploded at St. Theresa's Catholic Church, Madalla, in Niger State, killing over 30 people and wounding a significant number of other innocent citizens who had come to worship their God as the first part of their Christmas celebrations. Barely two days later, we heard of the tragic and mindless killings within a community in Ebonyi State in which over 60 people lost their lives with properties worth millions of naira destroyed and hundreds of families displaced. In the midst of all this, on New Year's Day, the President announced the withdrawal of fuel subsidy and threw an already angry and frustrated nation into convulsion.
The tragedy in Madallah was seen as a direct attack on Christians. When Boko Haram claimed responsibility, this line of argument seemed persuasive to those who believed that these merchants of death could be linked to the religion of Islam. Happily, prominent Muslims rose in unison to condemn this evil act and denounced both the perpetrators and their acts as being un-Islamic. All of this should cause us to pause and ponder about the nature of the force of evil that is in our midst and to appreciate the fact that contrary to popular thinking, we are not faced with a crisis or conflict between Christians and Muslims. Rather, we need to humbly appreciate the limits of our human understanding.
In the last few years, with the deepening crises in parts of Bauchi, Borno, Kaduna, and Plateau states, thanks to the international and national media, it has become fanciful to argue that we have crises between Christians and Muslims. Sadly, the kneejerk reaction of some very uninformed religious leaders has lent credence to this false belief. To complicate matters, some of these religious leaders have continued to rally their members to defend themselves in a religious war. This has fed the propaganda of the notorious Boko Haram and hides the fact that this evil has crossed religious barriers. Let us take a few examples which, though still under investigation across the country, should call for restraint on our part.
Some time last year, a christian woman went to her own parish church in Bauchi and tried to set it ablaze. Again, recently, a man alleged to be a christian, dressed as a muslim, went to burn down a church in Bayelsa. In Plateau State, a man purported to be a christian was arrested while trying to bomb a church. Armed men gunned down a group of christians meeting in a church and now it turned out that those who have been arrested and are under interrogation are in fact not muslims and that the story is more of an internal crisis. In Zamfara State, 19 muslims were killed. After investigation, it was discovered that those who killed them were not christians. Other similar incidents have occurred across the country.
Clearly, these are very troubled times for our country. But they are also very promising times. I say so because amidst this confusing debris of hate, anger and frustration, we have had some very interesting dimensions. Nigeria is changing because Nigerians are taking back their country from the grip of marauders. These stories, few as they may be, are the beginning of our song of freedom. Christians are now publicly crossing the artificial lines created by falsehood and bigotry. Let us take a few examples of events in the last week alone:
In Kano, amidst fears and threats of further attacks on christians, a group of muslims gathered round to protect christians as they worshipped. In Minna and recently, in Lagos, the same thing repeated itself as christians joined hands to protect muslims as they prayed. Penultimate week, christians and muslims together in solidarity protested against bad governance and corruption beyond the falsehood of religion. Once freed from the grip of these dark forces, religion will be able to play its role as a force for harmony, truth and the common good.
Clearly, drawing from our experiences as christians, we must note that God has a message for us in all this. To elicit what I consider to be the message, I will make reference to three lessons and I know there are far more.
First, these times call for prayer. At the height of our confusion during the Abacha years, the Catholic Bishops Conference of Nigeria composed two sets of prayers; one, Against Bribery and Corruption and second, for Nigeria in Distress. Millions of Catholics have continued to recite these prayers and we must remain relentless in the belief that God hears our prayers and that God's ways are not our ways. We know that our muslim brethren and millions of other non-christians feel the same and are also praying in a similar way for our country.
Two, these times call for solidarity of all people of faith. We are a nation of very strong believers and despite what anyone else may say, millions of our christians and muslims do take their religion very seriously. However, you might ask, if that is true, why do we have so many killings in the name of God and of religion? My answer is that we have such killings because we live in an environment of a severely weak architecture of state which allows evil to triumph. It is this poverty that produces jealousy and hatred which leads to violence.
We live in a state of ineffective law enforcement and tragic social conditions. Corruption has destroyed the fabric of our society. Its corrosive effect can be seen in the ruination of our lives and the decay in our society. The inability of the state to punish criminals as criminals has created the illusion that there is a conflict between christians and muslims. In fact, it would seem that many elements today are going to great extremes to pitch christians against muslims, and vice versa, so that our attention is taken away from the true source of our woes: corruption. As Nigerians, we must stand together to ensure that our resources are well utilized for the common good. This is why, despite the hardships we must endure as a result of the strike, the fuel subsidy debate must be seen as the real dividend of democracy
Three, religious leaders across the faiths must indeed stand up together and face the challenge of the times by offering a leadership that focuses on our common humanity and common good rather than the insignificant issues that divide us. We therefore condemn in very strong terms the tendency by some religious leaders to play politics with the issues of our collective survival. Rather than rallying our people, some of our religious leaders have resorted to divisive utterances, wild allegations and insinuations against fellow adherents of other religions. In the last five or so days, text messages have been circulating across the country appealing to some of our worst demons We are told that many senior clerics either believed or encouraged the circulation of these divisive and false text messages. We must condemn this for what it is; a grand design by enemies within our folds who are determined to destroy our country. Whatever they may call themselves, they are neither true christians nor muslims.
These are difficult times but they are also times of promise. Our country has turned its back on all forms of dictatorships. Our hands are on the plough and we are resolutely committed to democracy. Like a Catholic marriage, we may not be happy but we cannot contemplate a divorce. God does not make mistakes.
Although the freedom and growth promised by democracy are not here yet, we must remind ourselves that a better tomorrow is possible, a more united and peaceful Nigeria is possible. The challenges of the last few days have shown the resilience of our people and their commitment to democracy and a better life. We believe this is possible. The government must strive to earn the trust of our people. All sides must take lessons from the demonstrations and resolve to build a better and stronger nation.

Contained Places
Exeter () is a historic city in Devon, England. It lies within the ceremonial county of Devon, of which it is the county town as well as the home of Devon County Council. Currently the administrative area has the status of a non-metropolitan district and is therefore under the administration of the County Council. The city is on the River Exe about northeast of Plymouth and southwest of Bristol. Its population was 117,773 at the time of the UK's 2011 census.
Exeter was the most south-westerly Roman fortified settlement in Britain. Exeter Cathedral, founded in the early 12th century, became Anglican during the 16th-century English Reformation. The modern city's transport hubs include the Exeter Metro St Davids Railway Station, the Central railway station, the M5 motorway, and Exeter International Airport.
Parish Organization
From Saxon times, Exeter was in the hundred of Wonford. The city had a number of churches, each covering a parish with agreed boundaries. Until the start of civil registration in 1837, the parish church (of the Church of England) was responsible for recording the baptisms, marriages and burials which occurred in its area. The only legal marriages were those which took place within the Church of England. The names of the parishes were as follows:
GENUKI has descriptions of all the parishes complete with maps to indicate their locations within the city. It also gives alternate names for some of the parishes which may explain how they received their official names as given above.
For more information, see the EN Wikipedia article Exeter.

Our Guides were very entertaining, well informed and professional. I would highly recommend the tour, even if you are a native New Yorker, you are bound to learn something! This was my 1st time in NYC (from VA) and I will definitely take the tour again, and request the same guides if possible.
