What is it with cats. Every time I sit down at the computer my cat wants in my lap. Then he sits with is rear end in my lap, his chest on the edge of the desk and his front legs on the keyboard. Makes it really hard to type.
I think it's something called feline creep -- the way a cat expands to fill the space available. I can't count the number of times that I wake up at the very very edge of my queen sized bed with the cat sprawling happily over most of the rest of it. I think he likes to cuddle up against me, so when I move away from him he just moves closer.Originally Posted by soonerschwinn

Gotham Dream CarsRead MoreGotham Dream Cars lets drivers grip the throttle of exotic speed machines such as the Ferrari F430, Lamborghini Gallardo, Aston Martin DB9, and Bentley Continental GT for personal rental or specialized thrill experiences. During the Dream Car Sprint, auto enthusiasts slip into Ferraris or Lamborghinis on a closed course and whip their more than 500-horsepower ride three times around the autocross track, learning how to tame their power with the aid of an instructor before coming out of the third lap on a straightaway to open the engine up to its full potential. Riders conduct an orchestra of firing pistons and camshafts for three laps before crossing the finish line and parking to the pianissimo of the softly purring V8 engine. Gotham Dream Cars snaps pictures of the sprint, so drivers are sent home with hands they will never wash and a CD of images to parade before jealous coworkers and humbled shopping carts.347 Don Shula DriveMiami Gardens, FL US

Tehran's City Council reportedly will name a street for Rachel Corrie, the Jewish-American pro-Palestinian activist who was killed by an Israeli military bulldozer in Gaza.
Thursday's edition of Hamshari, a daily paper affiliated with the city government, reported that the council had decided to rename a street Rachel Aliene Corrie.
Corrie was a 23-year-old student from Washington state who was killed while attempting to prevent the demolition of Palestinian homes. In 2010, an Irish-flagged ship in the so-called Gaza flotilla named the Rachel Corrie was stopped by the Israeli Navy.
The Corrie street will be the first street in Iran named for a U.S. national since the 1979 revolution. Prior to the revolution, at least three main streets in Tehran were named for ex-U.S. presidents.

He's got a Youtube channel if you're interested.
Judging from the comments he seems to be an invite spammer too. Lots of wierd spiritual stuff and some short demos, nothing to really look at and critique in terms of style or technique.

I also got this 'email' from the same guy. What are people like this on? Anyway, after further digging I found that MAP have got a discussion on him and just saw the below.
This guy needs taking out before he does any more damage. Whether or not you are fans of ninpo, tai chi and related areas, people like this Martin Faulks are causing a lot of problems for an already tarnished image and the perception of martial arts in general.
Normal and sane people don't write stuff like this and then publish it :-
"Have you heard of the 'Norfolk Ninjas' - Karl and Shaun?"
I shook my head. "No."
"OK. Well, these guys are local legends; they sometimes come in here."
"Do they go to the Bujinkan class?"
"Er, no! These are a very different breed of people. Karl and Shaun have both trained in Japan. They're both military guys, Special Forces who practice the stealth arts you're interested in. Thats the way I would go if I was you. But be really careful Martin, those two are dangerous."
I immedietly asked if they ran classes.
Karl shook his head. "No, mate. Classes are crap, mate"
"The duo appeared at my house very late one night as was their custom."
"The more I searched, the more I found that Karl and Shaun were known throughout the country for their exploits. Frowned on by many but equally respected for their Ninja skills,"
"Both had gained black belts in a martial art called Kong Chang. They had trained in Ninjutsu and reached the point of First Kyu,"
"Its time to go to the 'Bat Cave'!"
Karl then put on a video, 'Robert Bussey's American Ninjutsu'.
"I was presented with my very own Ninja suit."
"The impact grenades are always the better option, in my opinion"
"I wanted to learn the spiritual arts of Ninjutsu"
Karl's reply took a month to arrive from Mexico. I opened the envelope. Inside was a small slip of paper. It simply read: "Stephen K. Hayes."
These instructional (DVDs) lessons were wonderful, for although Stephen Hayes was not there during the day, through this medium I had hours of this tuition every evening.
"Was he (Stephen Hayes) really about to teach me this Ninja magic?"
"You, Martin, are going to have to find your own way of getting into the Earth mindset," said Master Norris.
"Water Defence Against a Grab to the Chest"
[Martin Faulks] "I had fought many different martial artists from many different countries. Some of them were world champions known to be the most skilled men in the world, with great titles, belts and fame."
Stephen (Hayes) said, "We should practice with a sword, just for fun."
"As soon as I got back to England I continued my elemental training,"
"The first test for the Ninja would be the trial of Earth."
"I had finished my elemental trials and I continued with my night stealth regime."
"The Secret of Shanshin."
[Talking about training in Japan at the Bujinkan Dojo] One day I was talking to some of the western students they threatened me. "Where do you live in England?." I told them. "We can have someone at your door in 30 minutes if you betray us,"
"This is for you." He handed me a plastic bag. I opened it and inside was a beautiful ornate black belt.
"I instantly knew how I would bring about the destruction of my enemy. I listened to the song 'Temptation' by Heaven 17,"
"I made an offering of 30 yen to the Kami,"
"Some of the spirits of Mount Togakure had become part of me,"
"With Shaun in the Philippines and Karl travelling the world as a gun for hire, I was left in their area. The legend had continued."
"The world of the Ninja has become stiff and limited like Karate or any other martial art. I wanted to do something to raise its game, to bring respect and awe back into our art."
"As I started to unpeel my Ninja uniform, the director approached me. "Congratulations, you're as stealthy as a jaguar!"
Thought you folks might like to add your views to this. All and any ideas on how to go forward are also very welcome.

I've been reading on this site too long; whenever I see "Ninja," my eyes glaze over, and when I read the above, this is an example of what my ninja-addled brain was doing to me:
" "I had fought many different martial artists from many different countries. Some of them were world champions known to be the most skilled men in the world, with great TITTIES, belts and fame."

How old was your dachshund before they could go all night without going out to pee?
My guy is just 12 weeks old - and people are telling me he should be sleeping through the night without waking to out by now.
I try and pick up his food and water by 7 pm - 8 pm at the latest, I take him out between 10-11pm (before I go to bed). He wakes around 3am for a walk - pees and comes right back in, but has then been waking by 5 am - he was sleeping until 6 or 7 am -when I took him out every 3 hrs. at night, but the sleep deprivation was killing me and he started whinning every hr. to go out and play - so now I set my alarm and go get him. Today when he woke at 4:30 I moved his crate to our playroom (away from all the bedrooms) and didn'g get him until about 6:30 - the crate was dry and he went when we got out and came in and inhaled his breakfast - I'm just wondering if maybe he's waking because he's hungry and I'm misreading things.
I feed him between 3/4 of a cup and 1 cup of dry food a day (that's what the package says) If he finishes all his food in the 30 min. time frame I give him more so that's why the amouts vary he gets a 1/4 of a cup at a time.

Darlington Restaurants
The Darlington Estate Winery: Modern yet charming
This winery/restaurant is one of the nicest setups I've seen. It has such a cosy atmosphere to it, yet has a modern elegance. No wonder it's such a popular spot. It is always busy.
As you arrive to the winery, you step down the stone steps past a private function room then down to the cellar/bar and restaurant. There are two areas to the restaurant - an inside dining area and an alfresco area. The alfresco area comprises of two parts - a "room", which overlooks a small formal garden, then separate little dining areas throughout the rest of the gardens.
The staff are absolutely fantastic. So friendly, courteous and attentive. They really enhance the dining experience. The restaurant is a multi Gold Plate Award winner.
This winery is a fabulous choice for an afternoon with friends or a dinner in the evening. On Friday nights they have live jazz.
Favorite Dish: The menu is not extensive, but it is quite well rounded. On my last visit there, we'd had tapas and champagne in the garden before moving inside for a wine tasting and dinner, so after the tapas, I wasn't too hungry. I had a light entree of the Asparagus side - fresh asparagus served with truffle oil and sea salt. ($9) Absolutely delicious. My main was the fish of the day, topped with grilled yabbie (marron), with wood ear mushroom and zucchini ribbons, finished with a sweet corn salsa. ($32) It was quite nice, though I didn't think the corn suited the dish.
Everyone at our table thoroughly enjoyed their meals which ranged from beef and duck (together) ($35) through to lamb shanks baked in pastry with minted peas, portabellos and finished with a roast cherry tomato glaze. ($28). The Smoked Salmon Tian entree was also a big hit. It was served with a sand crab, wasabi panacotta and avocado salsa. ($18). Another favourite was the Grilled Asparagus served with mushroom, mozzarella, pesto, vincotto and tomato braise. ($16).
The wines aren't the best around, but I guess that's reflected in their prices which range between $20-$30 per bottle. You really come here for the food and atmosphere.Related to:

Date Night Beauty: 6 Ways To Get Hair So Sexy It Hurts
Date Night Beauty: 6 Ways To Get Hair So Sexy It Hurts
Date Night Beauty: 6 Ways To Get Hair So Sexy It Hurts
Frizzy, unmanageable mane weighing you, and your dating life, down? Before you take a hairstyle-induced sabbatical, (finally!) take matters into your own hands (and have his all over your strands) with these serious tress-tamers.
Living Proof No Frizz Shampoo, $24 for 8 oz.
If you're skeptical of shampoos that boast salon-worthy results straight out of the shower, you're not alone. That's why this frizz-fighting formula comes as such a refreshing (and seemingly rare) find. Created with PolyfluoroEster for locking in moisture-proof smoothness and repelling dirt and oil, you can look forward to less washes (meaning less opportunities for breakage and damage) and more looks of admiration.
L'Oreal Advanced Hairstyle SLEEK IT Iron Straight Heatspray, $4.99
Planning to turn up the heat with a hot guy (er, styling tool)? Ensure you don't get burned thanks to this new creation from L'Oreal. The spray's Fibralock technology, combined with its 450-degree protection, will leave strands safe (and sleek for up to three days).
Goody QuickStyle Paddle Brush with Microfiber Bristles, $8.39
If moisture is your "mane" culprit, combat water traps and get covered with this absorbent brush from Goody. Its microfiber bristles promise to remove 30% of water as you blow dry or brush your hair, while side vents allow for maximum air flow. If he doesn't appreciate your humidity-free 'do, he should at least be thankful for less waiting time.
BaByliss Pro Nano Titanium 1 1/4" Straightening Iron, now $129.99
While we agree picking the perfect (heat styling) partner is a personal matter, there are a few tried-and-trusted tools that are worth a double-take, including this beloved straightening iron from BaByliss. Using materials (titanium and an ionic generator) to produce far-infrared heat, safely penetrate hair from within, and prevent damage, this flat iron will leave strands as shiny as they are secure.

Gear Question
Hi !
I have Telemark NTN system and Scarpa...
Hi !
I have Telemark NTN system and Scarpa TX Pro boot.
I need to know wich crampons is the best for this boot.
Im shure someone out there has a good tip, wether this Grivel or another Grivel crampons is the best.
Bryan Vernetson
I think you probably want to go with a toe strap crampon instead of clip. My buddy has used his T1 with a strap crampon and it worked pretty well. I would go with the Petzl Lynx if you want to be able to do strap or clip. Hope this helps.
Hi Bryan.
Thx for reply !
My problem is that I live in Norway, and Petzl is on the list for no export to here, and I also looked into Grivel products, seems quite good.
Maybe, I should look for a Grivel one with strap, gives more flex.. comparing to the boots .
Thx !
Ben C
I'd look into an alu crampon or lighter one for tele boots. With ski boots crampons are likely on your back more than your boots, and the G12s are really designed for mountaineering. Airtech lights arent too bad

Originally written on Fox Sports | Last updated 8/6/13
Los Angeles Angels second baseman Howie Kendrick was helped off the field Monday night after hyperextending his left knee while chasing a popup in the outfield. Kendrick was hurt in the fifth inning of the Angels' game against the Texas Rangers when he sprinted into right field to catch Elvis Andrus' tailing popup with two runners in scoring position. Right fielder Colin Cowgill also came forward and slid toward the ball. Kendrick still attempted to make the play and bent his left leg awkwardly while trying to avoid Cowgill, losing the ball from his glove. The Angels' medical staff eventually helped Kendrick off the field, but he appeared to be putting some weight on his leg. One inning later, the Angels announced Kendrick had hyperextended his knee. Kendrick began the night batting .302 with 11 homers and 47 RBIs. He has been a valuable offensive contributor with the absence of injured first baseman Albert Pujols and the season-long struggles of outfielder Josh Hamilton.

Saintes, Charente-Maritime
Saintes, is a commune located in southwestern France, in Poitou-Charente and Charente-Maritime department of which it is a sub-prefecture. Its inhabitants are called Saintaises and Saintais. Saintes is the second largest city in Charente-Maritime, with 26,470 inhabitants in 2008; and it has the second largest metropolitan area in the department, with 56,598 inhabitants. In Roman times, Saintes was known as Mediolanum Santonum, and during much of its history, the name of the city was spelled Xaintes and Xainctes. Primarily built on the left bank of the river Charente, Saintes became the first Roman capital of Aquitaine, and later, the capital of the province of Saintonge under the Ancien Régime. Following the French Revolution, it briefly became the prefecture of the department during the territorial reorganization of 1790, until La Rochelle took its place in 1810. Even though it was but a subprefecture, Saintes was allowed to remain the center of the judiciary life in the department. In the last third of the 19th century, Saintes was chosen as the seat of the VIIIth arrondissement of the Chemins de Fer de l'État, which enabled an era of economic and demographic growth.

Alegent Creighton Health treats more breast, colon and lung cancer patients than any other healthcare system in the metro. Its new Lung Health Center is designed to speed up the diagnosis and treatment of lung cancer and other non-cancer lung conditions or disorders following an abnormal chest scan or suspicious lesion.
At first all Rhonda Bonstedt could do was cry.
"I thought I was going to die," she said.
Then the 53-year-old—who suffered a heart attack at age 40—geared up to fight her newly-diagnosed lung cancer. "I died at the hospital when I had my heart attack," she said. "They brought me back. I told myself, 'If I survived a heart attack. I can beat this cancer.'"
Last February, Bonstedt was having constant bouts of coughing and severe pain in her side just below her ribs. Her Alegent Creighton Clinic family practice physician Charles McMinn, M.D., diagnosed her pneumonia but suspected something else might be wrong.
He ordered a CT scan, which showed a suspicious mass in her lung. Two days later Bryan Krajicek, M.D., a pulmonary specialist, performed biopsies using two state-of-the-art diagnostic tools.
One was an endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS), which allowed Dr. Krajicek to see regions of her lungs and surrounding chest area that traditionally have required more invasive surgery;. The second was the Super Dimension tool, which uses a GPS-like navigation to allow physicians to make early diagnoses. It too avoids the need for higher-risk procedures. "This is as advanced as lung cancer has been in decades and we are pleased to offer it to our patients," Dr. Krajicek said.
The biopsies confirmed lung cancer. It's the number one cancer killer of women.
A one-pack-a-day smoker for 38 years, Bonstedt had worried about it. Her mother, her aunt and her uncle had died from lung cancer. She knew she was high risk.
"So I just decided I was going to fight until I can't fight anymore," she said.
Just one week after her diagnosis, Bonstedt began 37 radiation treatments. She was delighted that no time was wasted between her CT scan, her biopsies and her treatment."They started right on me. They got me right in," she said.
Historically patients who had abnormal chest scans or suspicious lesions might have to wait several weeks or even months to receive follow-up care and treatment. The long lag time was due in large part to uncoordinated care. "With a system like this we can get you in within days, make the diagnosis and recommend a treatment plan faster," Dr. Krajicek said.
Under the new model at Alegent Creighton Health's Lung Health Center patients can expect a confirmed diagnosis within 48 hours and the start of treatment soon after that. "Time is critical with detecting the lung cancer early, treating the lung cancer early and decreasing the potential for spread of the lung cancer," Dr. Krajicek said.
Bonstedt also relies on her Cancer Center nurse navigator, a key contact in Alegent Creighton Health's expert multidisciplinary team. Stacey Patzlaff helps with appointments and answers lots of questions from Bonstedt and her concerned daughter, Sunnee.
"She explains absolutely everything," Sunnee Bonstedt said.
Her mother added: "Our navigator's right on top of everything. She calls regularly to see how we are doing."
Bohnstedt just started her third of four rounds of full dose chemotherapy. She's encouraged—a second CT scan showed a smaller mass than the first. "It shrunk big-time!" she beamed.
The coordinated care—which eliminated many of Bonstedt's worries—also helped her to keep working. She kept her fulltime job at PetroMart in northeast Omaha, where she makes breakfast, sandwiches and pizza starting at 3 a.m., opens the doors at 5 a.m. and leaves at noon.
She said her regular customers kept her spirits up, and so did the physicians and nurses who took care of her. "All of my care was excellent," she said. "They caught the cancer just in the nick of time. And they treated me right away. I have to think that's making a difference in how this works out."
The Lung Health Center is a program of the Alegent Creighton Health Cancer Center, a transformational leader in providing comprehensive cancer care. The Lung Health Center operates five days a week and is located at Bergan Mercy Medical Center. For more information or to see if you qualify for a lung screen call 402-717-LUNG or visit AlegentCreighton.com/LungHealthCenter.

Sisters who lead Oxnard senior fitness class to be honored
More than a fitness class for seniors, one Oxnard Bone Builders class is a social gathering where participants have fun staying active and balanced.
That's thanks to sisters Jo Graham, 83, of Port Hueneme, and Arline Brown, 77, of Oxnard, who have led the twice-a-week class as part of the city's Retired and Senior Volunteer Program, or RSVP. They are expected to be honored at Wednesday's Oxnard City Council meeting.
"This has helped me so much with my balance, but the main thing is we have so much fun with each other doing the exercises," said participant Mary Ellen Brown, 80, of Ventura.
As the class members walked in the door, they were greeted with hugs from Graham and her sister, as well as instructions to sign a birthday card for one of their classmates.
The sisters have been teaching the class at the Wilson Senior Center for six years, and the group that comes on Tuesday and Thursday mornings is there for much more than exercise.
"This is the best group. They keep us busy with social gatherings, such as birthdays and holidays like Valentine's Day and St. Patrick's Day," Graham said. "I like to keep the class interesting to keep people motivated. We stick with the basics of Bone Builders, with weightlifting, exercises, warm-ups and cool-downs."
RSVP Director Marisue Eastlake said there are 30 Bone Builders classes taught by about 100 volunteers in Oxnard, Camarillo, Port Hueneme and Ventura. The classes are popular, and Eastlake said there are only two classes with openings.
Remaining physically active can help delay diseases and aging-related disabilities. For the members of the sisters' class, this has proved true.
"I'm here because I was told I have osteoporosis, so I started with this class when it was formed. I am very active and as far as helping with the osteoporosis, I wonder what it would be without the class," said Darlene Rose, 73, of Oxnard.
The health benefits aren't what make Rose continue coming to class, however.
"We come here. We laugh," she said. "It's like family. I've been coming here for so long."
Husband-and-wife team Charles Millett, 75, and Minnie Millett, 68, said they look forward to coming to the class. They do gentle exercises with weights while sitting in chairs, as well as memory exercises, counting by threes, performing word association and doing other things to keep their minds active.
"These are a very nice group of ladies. My wife got me into this," Charles Millett said.
Minnie Millett said she worries about losing flexibility after her diagnosis with osteoporosis.
"It's helped me a lot. My knees don't creak when I do a deep knee-bend," she said, demonstrating. "Now I can garden, and we eat what we grow outside."
She says she enjoys sharing the class with her husband of 48 years.
Graham and Brown are retiring after their six years of heading up the class because Graham said she is facing a host of health issues.
"We need a younger group teaching," Graham said.
Brown, who is retired from the food-service industry, said she wants to take a yoga class to keep her muscles strong.
Sue Luft and Melissa Rowberg will take over the class on Thursday. Luft was on hand with the sisters during class, getting to know participants.
Even though the sisters are retiring, they will be back from time to time. With Luft going on vacation at the end of February, it won't be long.
Eastlake said the sisters were named women of the year by the Oxnard Chamber of Commerce in 2010 in recognition of their more than 1,000 hours each of volunteer service.
She said she is adding a new class in Camarillo, a "me and mom osteo class," which is part of the Bone Builders series and is geared toward mature women and their senior mothers. She said she got the idea from the "mom and me" classes popular for young mothers and their toddlers.
Classes are limited to 15 people. The RSVP program is taught by volunteers 55 and older, and Bone Builders class participants must be at least 60 years old.

From the Publisher
"For more than a decade Christopher Fairburn has been at the forefront of the effort by researchers and clinicians to understand the nature and causes of binge eating. He has made a huge contribution to this field, not least because he is responsible for having developed and evaluated the most successful method of treatment for binge eating problems. In this fascinating book he not only brings the reader up to date with the latest knowledge, but also provides a structured program of practical strategies for recovery which will be of invaluable assistance to anyone with binge eating problems." --Peter J. Cooper, Winnicott Research Unit, University of Cambridge Clinical School, England
"There is an extensive scientific literature of research of binge eating, however, the scientific advances have not yet been presented to the general public. Overcoming Binge Eating addresses this important gap. Written by one of the world's foremost authorities in eating disorders, this book takes an empathic look at binge eating, provides a comprehensive summary of current knowledge of binge eating, and offers detailed suggestions for how to overcome this problem.
Written for a lay readership, Overcoming Binge Eating offers both hope and concrete advice to sufferers. This highly informative book will also be useful for those who want to learn more about binge eating. Mental health professionals will find this book an excellent source of information and a valuable tool for adjunct bibliotherapy." --Ruth H. Striegel-Moore, PhD, Associate Professor of Psychology at Wesleyan University and President-Elect of the Academy for Eating Disorders
"This reader-friendly book provides a lucid and comprehensive account of the nature and treatment of binge eating by one of the world's leading clinical researchers. Based on the most recent scientific evidence, and reflecting Fairburn's many years of unsurpassed clinical experience, this text is unrivaled as the best source for educating both the public and patients about binge eating. But it does more than educate and enlighten. It includes a detailed self-help program for overcoming binge eating in bulimia nervosa and obesity. The state-of-the-art techniques in this program have proved effective in numerous scientific studies. The program can be used on its own or in combination with therapy." --G. Terence Wilson, PhD, Oscar K. Buros Professor of Psychology, Rutgers University
"Christopher Fairburn is one of the world's foremost authorities on problem eating. Because he is one of those rare individuals who understands and can work with people, but is also a top-flight researcher, his book offers state-of-the-art, helpful information, written in a caring way. You can trust this book. It is a landmark in the field." --Kelly D. Brownell, PhD, Director, Rudd Center for Food Policy and Obesity, Yale University
"Dr. Christopher Fairburn is one of the world's experts on the causes and treatment of binge eating. In Overcoming Binge Eating, he has written a scholarly yet readable summary of recent advances in our knowledge of this common affliction. More impressively, Overcoming Binge Eating contains a straightforward and user-friendly self-help manual for those who are struggling with this problem. In bringing to the public the latest scientific understanding and new treatment methods, Dr. Fairburn has made a major contribution to progress in dealing with eating disorders." --B. Timothy Walsh, MD, Professor of Clinical Psychiatry, College of Physicians & Surgeons, Columbia University
"You just can't read this book, you are impelled to act. A 'must read' for binge eaters and their families."--Laura Hill, PhD, Former Director, National Eating Disorders Organization

Rated 3.5 out of 5 by 1865 reviewers.
Rated 1 out of 5 by bostontraveler14 Horrible Experience I've stayed at this hotel many times in the past, and it hasn't been that bad, but now it is horrible. The hotel is under renovation - which I did not know when I booked. At check-in I was given a room on a floor that I was to first to check into after renovation. The problem - the floor was cetrainly not ready for occupancy. The elevator did not serve the floor they put me on and they made me use the service elevator (yes that made an SPG Gold member take the service elevator). There was no AC in the hallways and the room AC would not turn on. The renovated room was dusty. I don't normally request to change rooms, but I had to change out of this room. (Side note - the renovated room was not too impressive, lots of dark colors, so even if it was ready for occupancy, it would not have impressed). The hotel then put me in a room on the third floor. That was musty and noisy as could be. I couldn't bring myself to request another new room, so I dealt with it for my stay. As an SPG Gold member, I know SPG provides a great experience, and this hotel does not deliver. June 18, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by greg345 great front desk service there was a mix up when I decided to stay 3 nights instead of 2. The telephone call changed the number of nights, but not the room type to garden suite as stated. Steven at Sheraton front desk was able to make all necessary changes to the computer, and provided an upgrade for the room, plus offered a bottle of wine as I was staying overnight on my birthday! June 13, 2015
Rated 1 out of 5 by tiredspgmember Stay elsewhere in Toronto, you will have a miserable time at this hotel I've stayed at the Sheraton Toronto several times for business over the course of a over a year, and this will be the last. The hotel is perpetually under construction. It sounded like they were drilling for oil in the room above mine - the noise was so loud I couldn't hold meetings, yet alone take a nap or relax. The rooms are not soundproofed in the slightest, and you will hear every footstep, conversation, key jingle, car horn and traffic noise coming from the walls surrounding you. This hotel needs to get their act together and hire better contractors so they're not renovating year-round, or invest in soundproofing the rooms. Look elsewhere for your stay in Toronto, there's lots of great hotels with comparable rates downtown. June 11, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Johnstonsj Simply the best From arrival to departure we were made to feel welcome and nothing was too much trouble. All the staff are fantastic and the hotel is one of the best we have stayed in. Very comfortable rooms and extremely spacious, we didn't want to leave. When we visit Toronoto again we will be staying and we will recommend you to all our family and friends. Thank you all so much and special thanks to Blesilda for making the Birthday celebrations special. June 9, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Bets The staff are readily available The staff are always ready to make my experience a great one. Anita Danes went above and beyond for a guest to provide her with a birthday slice celebration in the club lounge. Blesilda was extremely generous with a cheese plate, wine and fig jam sent to my room. The front desk staff were very helpful when I had charges for internet usage on my receipt which needed to be removed. June 7, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Swag50 The Staff are second to none...the best The staff at the Sheraton Centre Toronto are amazing. Travel for me is stressful and tiring. Coming to the Sheraton Centre Toronto is what I look forward to most. In many ways it feels like home. The difference between this hotel and all the others I've stayed at is the staff. Special thanks to Blesilda. Everyone says the same thing, how does she remember everyone by name. Very special, the epitome of service. I'd also like to thank John, Biniam and Augustine for their unparalleled service. June 3, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by TetePrata Very comfortable We love the hotel and Toronto. Centrally located and near many attractions and shopping. We stayed in a renovated room that was clean and comfortable. Always my first choice to stay in downtown Toronto. May 29, 2015
Rated 2 out of 5 by FARZ Our recent stay We stayed for 5 nites in May 2015. Hotel staff is very helpful specially security and valet and front office manager. We were not told about the work planned on upper floor and the room A/C was out dated so cold air always blowing making sleep uncomfortable. Our room was changed to Richardson building but the A/C prob remained. We were compensated with SPG points but Manager knew that our stay was miserable and he tried to be as nice as he could as the hotel needs major renovation and it was beyond his control. Overall hotel ambient is good and location is excellent close to everything. We will only stay here if we are guaranteed better room. May 28, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by IBROX Home To Sheraton My wife and I returned yesterday from another wonderful vacation in the Sheraton Toronto. We love the hotel and Toronto. Ahmed we spoke to and waved at some times. Nice to see you again all your staff are the best as of course you are. Brian on the front desk takes really good care of us as he always does. Steve, Max, Vernon, Anastacia, Tammy and Marilyn are always there should we have a problem or need help. We have been coming so often the the hotel over the past 11 years that we have so many friends. Moconenn, Tish, Nam and J.J. In the Bistro always have good chat with us and make sure we have a nice seat in the window. Semrit, Guilsita and Lauren are so friendly and pleasant to talk to in the Coffee Shop. Upstairs in the club lounge we must thank Bless for everything she does taking care of us. Anita always at hand to help and her team too many to mention but all the club lounge staff are great making us tea, chatting to us and giving us so much info and advice on place to visit. Mainly shops as they know we love shopping. Lastly but not least Ghenet who greets us in the lobby. Always the first smiling face we see. See all our friends in the Fall. May 19, 2015

Rated 1 out of 5 by Dissatisfied057 The Front Desk staff The Front Desk Staff were like robots they didn't care about my needs in the slightest and their disregard for customer service ruined my business trip to Toronto. I've stayed at your hotel multiple times a year and will not return. May 9, 2015
Rated 1 out of 5 by Bea66 Need a lot of improvements Hotel was going true renovation. I paid a pretty high price for a room, and when I first receive room on 8th floor, this room was the most disgusting ,dirty, old, smelly ,that I ever saw in my life. Thankfully one person at reception, was helpful and gave me room on 37th floor, clean, new, renovated room. Still I did not receive service, my room was not cleaned next morning, I had no towels, so I needed 2times to call someone to at least give me clean towels. Awful experience May 5, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Whit89 Awesome Experience This hotel was magnificent. One of the best hotels that I have ever stayed in I wish I remembered the lady name that was checking me in, my flight landed very late and she made my check in process very easy and swift. The Sheraton Centre Toronto Hotel customers service is second to none. April 22, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Sophie3235 Excellent Concierge Staff On a recent stay, I was very impressed by the friendly, helpful and accurate information I got from the concierge staff. Their knowledge and suggestions made my stay go from average to excellent. April 22, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by SillySmiles Excellent Overall Experience Our family thoroughly enjoyed our visit to Toronto thanks to the hospitality at the Sheraton. The hotel was clean and comfortable and the service was exceptional. April 21, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Mustang7 Nice to Return to the Sheraton Centre Hotel has been renovated. Very enjoyable room. Great place to stay in downtown Toronto. Look forward to coming back again in the future. April 20, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by kinnyg Always feel welcome I am platinum and a very frequent visitor to this hotel, about 10 visits per year. The staff are, of course, always friendly, welcoming and eager to make me comfortable, as in all Sheratons. This hotel, however, exceeds that standard. In particular, Blesilda Pagoa, Aravind Murthy and the entire team in the stunning Club Lounge do a super job of ensuring a comfortable stay. Biesilda makes a point of getting to know the personal preferences of the most frequent visitors. This is a very big hotel and very occasionally things may go wrong, but a call to Blesilda or Guest Services results in quick action. The renovations currently in progress are welcome. I visit for both business and pleasure, and, particularly recently, it keeps getting better. April 18, 2015
Rated 4 out of 5 by Richelle47 Staff is excellent! Makes you want to go back! Brain C. at the front desk is probably the most attentive personnel in any hotel that I have ever stayed in. He remembers you even if it's been months between stays. It is refreshing to know that in today's world, Sheraton takes pride in having the best customer service April 12, 2015
Rated 3 out of 5 by navable Poor Service I have stayed at this hotel a number of times due to proximity to work. While the rooms are comfortable and the hotel is very close the shopping districts, nightlife, business district and transit - the service is terrible. On this specific stay - I arrived with my husband and the line for regular guests and preferred SPG members was about 20 guests long. The staff at all four counters continued to serve gold/platinum members while the line on our side grew. A number of people voiced dissatisfaction and we were told that gold/platinum members get priority over all others - which I understand now as a gold member myself but at least one counter should have been offering service to the rest of the guests. Further - when we tried to explain this to the lady who checked us in - she was dismissive and rude. When we asked for a manager - she offered us a free bottle of wine instead of trying to rectify the actual issue. It took us about an hour to get to our room. Perhaps it was an off night for the Sheraton but our in-room meal was terrible with the food cold. The food options are not the greatest but there are a number of restaurants within walking distance and I would recommend eating outside of the hotel. When I'm stuck - I do still go back to this hotel but if possible - I book other options when I need to stay in the city now. i have stayed at many SPG hotels but feel that this one has the worst service.

Rated 1 out of 5 by lisa1984 unsatisfied Hello, I was quite disappointed with my experience. I stayed at this hotel last year and I liked it so much that I decided to come back. Unfortunately, I had many issues with this stay. First, since we arrived, the toilet was running in our suite. The heater also made a really loud noise that was very annoying. My biggest concern was the loud talking followed by the disruption of our door at 8am. During this time, there were three attempts at opening our back door. As we were in suite 768 , our room did not seem to connect to any others ( the ice machine was adjacent to our room). After calling the front desk, I was assured that security would be sent up right away. I never received a follow-up call nor did security come to my door to reassure me that the matter had been investigated. Needless to say, I was very disappointed in my experience this stay. Lisa Weathers April 6, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by OrganizationalPsych Quality service and ambiance I have stayed at this hotel many times and am always pleased with their recognition of SPG members and the quality service and treatment received. I wish other Toronto Sheraton properties offered the same calibre of decorum. Love the proximity to downtown Toronto right outside the door, the ability to walk underground to the Raptors game / mall in the cold weather and the ice rink in the winter is an added bonus. April 6, 2015
Rated 4 out of 5 by midlandtourist Wonderful staff Back from our winter escape to warmer climes, I want to mention how kind everyone was last December when we stayed at the Sheraton Centre Toronto. Although we had a room reserved for later dates we had to arrive several days early when our grandbaby suddenly arrived. A quick scramble and everything was quickly put into place. Platinum recognition is excellent. A special thanks to Blesilda and the team at the Club Lounge for the warm welcome. Also having Celiac disease requiring gluten free food, it was great having GF muffins available. We have stayed several times at this hotel. The views from the higher floors are very good whether facing the CN Tower or the City Hall. Let's be honest there were rooms and hallways that were dingy but with the renovations the new rooms and hallways are airy and bright. During renovations we had to change rooms once but the staff were kind and accommodating. You can't ask for more than that. We are looking forward to our next stay. April 5, 2015
Rated 4 out of 5 by Scarface Internet service The staff and the facility were just fine but charging for the internet service which was followed by it not working very well is definitely not first class. I stay in hotels all over the world and this is not normal! March 28, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Gerry67 wonderful stay This was our first to the Sheraton and my wife and I were very pleased! Anastasia booked us in and she was fantastic! We were there to celebrate thirty years together, she immediately upgraded us and supplied a complimentary bottle of wine and fruit and cheese platter. We had a great view of the CN Tower and Queen West from our room. The only issue we had with our stay was the room temperature; we couldn't get it lower then 76. Other than that everything exceeded expectations! March 22, 2015
Rated 4 out of 5 by Alana75 bathroom drains never work Everything is great about the hotel...centrally located, friendly enough staff..the restaurant is over priced and the bathroom drains are consistently clogged every time I go to any hotel...if they improved just that one thing they would be ahead of other hotels March 22, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Filippo A great location We come to this hotel quite often. It is easily reachable (by car, via the Gardiner EXWY, very close; by train, walking distance via PATH underground). We come especially in the winter as parking underground in front (under City Hall) is very convenient and linked underground to the hotel. Via the PATH underground walkway you can reach most shops. The hotel is now under renovations and I am sure it will be even better when completed. This time Steven (always a friendly and kind face at Front Desk) was even more warm and professional in welcoming us than previous times. Anita from Front Office team also joined in making sure that we had the best stay. An upgrade to a large suite was also accompanied by a very well appreciated amenity in the room. Thank you guys for making our stay a very pleasant one in spite of being very full with a concomitant conference at the hotel. March 16, 2015

Lady Gaga Debuts 'Born This Way' Video
The clip, directed by fashion photographer Nick Knight in collaboration with the Haus of Gaga creative team and choreographer Laurieann Gibson, continues the rebirth theme the enigmatic pop star has been pushing since emerging from an egg-like vessel to perform the track at this year's Grammys.
"This is the manifesto of Mother Monster," Gaga says, setting up the effects-heavy video. "Thus began the beginning of the new race. A race within the race of humanity, a race which bears no prejudice, no judgment, but boundless freedom."
Check out the 'Born This Way' video after the jump.
'Born This Way' debuted on Feb. 11, and after just three days of release the track shattered iTunes sales records and became the 1,000th song to top the Billboard singles chart. At radio, 'Born This Way' was picked up more than any debuting title in the chart's 18-year history, according to Nielsen BDS, and has gone on to sell over a million digital downloads.
Despite its success, the song has not been without controversy. Reviews for the single have been mostly positive, but both critics and fans have noted that 'Born This Way' bears a strong resemblance to Madonna's 1989 empowerment anthem 'Express Yourself.'
Gaga appeared on 'The Tonight Show' the day after her high energy performance at the 53rd Grammy Awards, where she won three prizes including Best Pop Vocal Album, and told Jay Leno that Madonna and her team e-mailed her to voice their support for the single; however, Her Madgesty's publicist said she was unaware of any such e-mail. While Madonna herself has not spoken publicly about the controversy, she was reportedly in the audience at Gaga's sold-out Monster Ball show at New York's Madison Square Garden on Feb. 21.
Gaga recently announced on 'The Gayle King Show' that she will release a second video to accompany a stripped-down version of 'Born This Way,' with proceeds from the release going to an anti-bullying charity.
► Those Strings Sound Awfully Familiar Does the intro to 'Born This Way' sound familar to you film buffs? That's not a surprise. Gaga's new video uses the title theme from Alfred Hitchcock's 1958 classic 'Vertigo,' composed by Hollywood legend Bernard Herrmann. Herrmann was also the man behind the scores for 'Cape Fear,' 'Psycho' and 'Taxi Driver.'

I don't really know what to say. It is too busy like "grimmy" said. I have no interest in seeing it again, if that helps. Or hearing the song again. What was the point again? Born what way?

Ok, I love the song and the video is great, but she really need to eat something. She has lost so many weight since her beginnings, it's very scary.
And why so many sexual moves in her video ? It doesn't need that to be great. Ok lady gaga, you are a liberated woman, we get it, you can stop now. :D

this article fails to mention that the madonna thing was NOT the only controversy. there is one about her use of the words "chola" and "orient" to describe certain races.

The video has got great cinematography. I like the "Aliens" homage, not too keen on the dancing. A little bland. And the song isn't that great, but not a bad video.

Canadiens GM returns to work after daughter's death

MONTREAL -- Canadiens general manager Bob Gainey is back at work following the death of his daughter, who was swept overboard last month while working on a tall ship in the Atlantic.
Gainey, a Hall of Fame defenseman, returned to his Bell Centre office in recent days after a leave, team spokesman Donald Beauchamp said Tuesday. Assistant GM Pierre Gauthier filled in for Gainey during his absence.
