Hmm....I guess you can technically take the same material, rearrange it and then publish it with another title if you really want to but I kind of thought that was looked down upon in the literary world! This is a 10 star book only they wrote it already and it was titled The Millionaire Next Door. This is literally and I mean LITERALLY the same exact book only rewritten, rearranged, retitled and republished. It really doesn't matter which of the books you read. Either will do. Both are 10 stars on their own but I gave it 3 because all in all I thought it was rather rude to scam people out of their money by selling the same exact book under a different title all in the name of some dough! But then again maybe they were millionaire minded, saw an easy way to make some more bucks and went for it!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Book,
Caitlin Kerr (KS, USA) - See all my reviews
Dr. Stanley's book The Millionaire Mind provides great insight into the mind of a Millionaire. Stereotypes set aside, Dr. Stanley proves through thorough research, statistics, and many tables, that these Millionaires are not just extremely wealthy. Dr. Stanley portrays a millionaire mind as one that everyone should have. It is simply a mind of integrity, discipline, social skills, and of determination. Whether looking to achieve financial success or to be a good person, one should read this book.
As a student I have been bombarded with pressure to succeed, to get a perfect GPA, get A's on all my tests, and to study, study, study. Now in the midst of college decisions I feel that I am basically an ACT or SAT number. I have been fooled that my "number" is the determination of my future success, of my job placement, and of myself as a person. After reading Dr. Stanley's book I have been comforted to learn that although counselors, colleges, and some teachers instruct this, the real world doesn't. Dr. Stanley shows that most financially successful millionaires were not at the top of their classes, that their ACT/SAT scores may have held them back, that at some points they hit road bumps and were discouraged along the way, and that they still came out on top. Dr. Stanley shows that these millionaires are "outworking and eventually outperforming the so-called intellectually gifted." Dr. Stanley has proven to me that my hard work will payoff and my creativity and discipline are most important. This book is perfect for any aged person who has been told they will not succeed or who has doubted themselves.
This book shows millionaires with a positive mind, a capability of taking a risk, a credit dependent attitude, courage, a hard working attitude, an economically productive household, and so much more. It sheds a new light on the millionaires in our nation and is a great place to start the millionaire in you.
5.0 out of 5 stars What they don't want you to know,
The quest for millionaire status has been further fueled by all of the media coverage millionaires receive, both positive and negative. While I do agree that by molding your life according to certain well founded principles you can achieve millionaire status there is still more to it.
In the Millionaire Mind the author does a good job of extracing from his research the common qualities that millionaires share. What was left out, was the actual means that need to be employed to achieve that status. The Millionaire Mind does give us detailed information on the make up of the average millionaire which is fine if one knows how to implement those qualities into his or her own life. Another book that further delves into this subject is the Millionaire Brain, by Donny Lowy. In the Millionaire Brain the author illustrates the hands on approach that allows millionaires to use their qualities to their benefit, in terms of achieving financial success.
There are many good books out there including this one. They can be of great value as long as it is understood that there is an entire art of the correct application of these principles in order to achieve that success.
4.0 out of 5 stars An excellent guide for young people!!!!,
KWOK Wai Sze Tiff (Hong Kong) - See all my reviews
"The Millionaire Mind" investigates the ideas, beliefs, and behaviors of millionaires. It shows how they build and maintain their fortunes.
The book reveals the life of the millionaire. Also, it explores the road to the financial success of them. In the book, we know
how were their school days like? How did they respond to the negative criticism? By what criteria did they choose they field of work? How did they choose their spouse and what are the characteristics them? Why choosing a lovely house is so important for them? Most importantly, how did they seize the opportunity and get the advantages from it?
The Millionaire Mind is representative of the study of America's wealthy. It is particularly useful and important for young people. The reason is that, young people is right at the starting point of their life in the society. They may not have a mindset that is mature enough. What they need are positive attitude towards their works, critical thinking and great power of judgment on everything (e.g., choosing a suitable vocation, finding a spouse that matches with u pretty well and also able to facilitate the growth of your career etc.)
When we were in college, our parents, teachers, everyone told us the only way for us to success is to work hard on the academic stuff, so as to get a high academic achievement. In the mind of majority, there is a concept: getting good academic achievement = getting a good job in the future = able to earn a lot of money = can have a good wife/husband (mostly, he/she would be gorgeous!)
However, is it the only formula? is it the only path of achieving a "success" life?
The author tells that the answer is negative. Apart from getting a very good academic result, there are still other ways to be success. A good student who has good academic results is not equivalent to a good employee. It does not mean that he/she must make big money. There are still many considerations. A millionaire would probably know what is indeed important for them.
The Millionaire Mind is excellent for stimulating our thinking. It surely guide the young people to their right way!
3.0 out of 5 stars 3 stars,
By A Customer
It's always good when you have infomation and stats to back a claim that you make in any field. This book is not as good as the millionaire next door, then again maybe it is (I read next door first). Anyway this book is a good follow up because it covers a couple of things tha tthe first book missed. Some examples are what millionaires pay for: clothes,homes,furniture etc. It talks more about decamillionaires(those worth $10 million or more). Also Stanley gives insight into career choices that can help you become a tad bit richer then taking on another assignment as a career choice. I give it three stars because the first book had a heaping of whats in here. I think the authors should have created a new edition with two volumes so we that read the first book would not have to hear much of the same things again.I think this is a good book for an avid collector of books who just like to have alot of material around the house. A good starter book. I know those who have the millionaire next door have pretty much out grown this book for buying and reference purposes. I reccommend that you borrow this book at the library if you've read the first one. Take what you can from it memorize it and send it back. You probably would want to start "being" a millionaire and not reading about them. The next step would be to pursue your specific dreams and get books on that.
2.0 out of 5 stars Reads like a boring school textbook,
Vedid (LA, California) - See all my reviews
I have many problems with this book. Some parts were flat-out contradicting. Through out the book, Stanley keeps telling us that Millionaires don't participate in "do-it-yourself" projects because they can just hire someone to do it for them while they use their valuable time to make money or watch their kids play. But on page 302 it says that true frugal millionaires are more likely to "mow their own lawns" and are "...involved in do-it-yourself carpentry projects". So which one is it, Tom?
Stanley's writing style is also very boring and dry to read even when it's on such a facinating subject like millionaires. I absolutely couldn't stand the socratic method he used in this book. It seemed like every 5th sentence was a question. ("How do they treat people?" Are they sincere because of their nature and upbringing? Or are they able to turn sincere only when it benefits them?") Please, spare me this dribble and just get to the point. Maybe if he cut down on these questions, the book wouldn't be 400 pages long.
I find it strange that Stanley didn't mention the other millionaires: Music Stars, Movie Stars, Media Moguls, Internet entrepreneurs, the NUMEROUS Sports athletes from the NBA, MLB, NFL, NHL, Tennis, Golf etc. and of course, Bill Gates(billionaire, but still) Hmm...I wonder why he didn't mention them at all? Oh that's right, Stanley's surveys are seriously FLAWED. I'll have to ask Kobe Bryant one day if he resoles his shoes and buys antique furniture. (I suppose Stanley never wanted to mention these x-factors because that would be against all he has studied and compiled for most of his career)
One of the posters here pointed it out, why did Stanley mention Martin Luther King Jr.? Okay, so he was a C student in school and went on to became one of the greatest civil-rights leaders of all time...that's good and all, but I don't think MLK Jr. was a millionaire so I don't see how this was relevant.
There are some practical info in this book, but you would have to go through every 5 pages to find a good piece of advice or so. If you want to learn how to become rich, I would suggest you read "The Richest Man in Babylon", a sleek and fun book to read at only 144 pages which, ironically enough, had more interesting things to say than The Millionaire Mind.
Oh Wait - About rich athletes, Stanley did mention how millionaire basketball players only have a short career span before they are washed up and stop getting paid. But if they hold on to and invest in their money after they retire, then I don't see how this is such a big deal at all.
2.0 out of 5 stars Has little to do with "The Millionaire Next Door",
This review is from: The Millionaire Mind (Hardcover)
First, I think "The Millionaire Next Door" is a classic. One of the reasons is the "Next Door" part - it examined the lifestyle of many millionaires who lived fairly modestly, and maybe even spent less than you do. Who else remembers the guy who said "I drink two kinds of beer - free and Budweiser!"? The combination of working both ends - reducing spending and increasing income by wisely choosing a profession - was a valuable financial lesson.
Millionaire Mind starts off differently. You can tell when the author (only one half of the Stanley/Danko team) talks about how he surveyed neighborhoods where there were going to be many millionaires only. Right off the bat, you know he's not working with the same millionaires from the first book. They're not living next door to you!
In fact, this turns out to be the case. In The Millionaire Next Door (TMND), realized income is $131K among those surveyed. In Millionaire Mind? $750K. Net worth is three times as much - close to $10M in Mind. Homes? From an average $320K in the first book (which could be in your neighborhood) to $1.4M in the second (which probably aren't.) Cars? Same thing.
So what does this mean for you, the reader? It becomes more of a Tom Peters-style book, which describes in great detail what well-heeled businessmen do but is almost entirely unhelpful. Indeed, I was struck when I opened the book and noticed that Dr. Stanley had written several books on how to target the affluent.
If you want another "Next Door", this isn't it. There are better books about running your financial life, and better books about how to be a successful businessman. Your time and money is better served with those.
2.0 out of 5 stars Stanley's Financial Version of "The Stepford Wives.",
R. A. Brame "floydcollins" (Lander, WY United States) - See all my reviews
After reading and enjoying The Millionaire Next Door, I had high expectations for Stanley's next book on the subject. However, I was sorely disappointed.
The Millionaire Mind is preachy, anecdotal, and filled with feel-good, Christian-oriented pop psychology. Unfortunately, rather than using the data to illuminate apparent trends, author Thomas Stanley instead resorts to holding himself up as proof that hard work in niche markets, with a long-term spouse and re-soled shoes pretty much guarantees financial success and any other play on reality is just "big brain, no dough."
Another, perhaps more distressing flaw is that Millionaire Mind boils down "financial independence" as requiring single-minded pursuit of always paying little for everything (good defense), and only making high income (good offense) all while deliberately searching for a spouse solely in places where there are likely to be "convoys" of educated, high-earning, frugal singles who like traditional, solid wood furniture. This book ceases to analyze data and espouses living a "virtuous," calculating, and spiritual lifestyle because of the firm and anecdotal opinions of the quoted millionaires and the newly wealthy author (Stanley is weathy because we bought his books).
Stankey's Millionaire Mind comes off as a "Stepford Wives" vision of financial success.
5.0 out of 5 stars The Truths Destroy Common Stereotypes,
K. Johnson (US/Asia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Millionaire Mind (Hardcover)
I read the "Millionaire Next Door" when it came out in 1996, and was really taken by the facts behind these people. The "Millionaire Mind" is just as interesting and focuses on general qualities, attitudes and beliefs, and a lot of factual studies and stats of millionaires. Most of them are self-employed and don't work for someone else. The good news is, they're for the most part, regular folks. They live in the same houses, drive the same cars, and have the same egalitarian attitude that us non-millionaires have.
What is strikingly different and very interesting is the millionaires' attitude toward money. Millionaires don't tend to live in, nor aspire to live in "prestigious neighborhoods." Nor do they go into large amounts of debt to drive "luxury cars." This concept is what author Dr. Stanley calls "Income-Statement Affluent." But the non-millionaires often do try to do this, and go into the debt to give the *impression* to other people that they are doing well financially. The 1,371 millionaires studied overwhelmingly avoided what is called "earn-and-consume" and conspicuous consumption.
This book also delved into the childhood, school years and aptitude tests for these folks with a net worth of at least 1 million. Many things society and our educational system marks as indicators of who will become economically successful are simply inaccurate, and often flat-out wrong. Placement tests in school, for example often offer contradictory results as to a person's strength, aptitude and abilities in particular areas. Some references remind those who've read some of Robert Kiyosaki's recent books. Most of us, even business majors, aren't trained to look at entrepreneurship, but instead seek to work for a corporation. Dr. Stanley asked his group of business students what the top 10 most profitable small businesses were in America. He didn't hear on correct answer (page 222). He provided the examples of how Korean immigrants that come to America study small business models, operations, and profitability through networking, Korean trade associations, and Korean-American cultural organizations. In the 1970s for example, the most profitable small business was dry cleaning. The percentage of these Korean owned small businesses was extremely high. They are looking to own and operate while the rest of us (including me) by choice, look to work for someone else. Add the long hours of hard work, in this particular case, of the Koreans, and you have a higher chance of becoming financially independent. Other ethnic and racial groups (i.e., in Los Angeles) sometimes make complaints about the Koreans' success because they don't see through the same perceptions (like most of us in America).
What was the most valuable thing these millionaires learned in college? Hard work. And, 88% percent of millionaires sited the importance of being able to accurately judge people (page 100, Table 3-1). It wasn't grades. The average grade point average was 2.92. 78% percent responded that "hard work is more important than genetic high intellect in achieving financial success (page 106, Table 3-3). And, the average millionaire drives a Ford.
Dr. Stanley worked with and compiled information from the University of Georgia and Geo-demographer Jon Robbin of Harvard. There are 46 statistical charts. There are numerous themes and references to Robert Sternberg's "Successful Intelligence." Worth buying or checking out.
5.0 out of 5 stars Stock and Futures Traders need this,
This review is from: The Millionaire Mind (Hardcover)
Best book ever. This book beats the pants off Mr.Stanley's millionaire next door. He realy goes indepth and extracts what mental, emotional, and support attributes it takes to be wealthy. Being a veteran futures investor, broker, and author for the past 11 years, his book really opened my eyes to the attributes that I have, that have been contributing to my success, and the attributes that I don't have that have sabotaged my trading in the past.
I suggest this book to all of my employees and all of my clients. I make sure they realize that what they want is wealth, and if not they should not be involved with trading as a living.
I have read this book four times. My copy is dog eared, highlighted, and underlined. What impresses me the most is Mr.Stanley's scientific approach of surveying, and his interpretation of his survey is what shines in his writing. He brings the statistical data to life.
I recommend this book a thousand fold to everyone. For stock and futures traders, this book ... you will find yourself far ahead of the pack.

Shelby Miller continued his hot start Monday night by shutting down the Washington Nationals with eight strikeouts and only two runs over 6.2 innings. Miller gave up only four hits and walked two, and even though his ERA went up to 2.16 we can take away nothing but positives from his third stellar start in a row. He's now shut down the Brewers and Nationals and has a 26:7 K:BB in 25 innings. He's putting 46 percent of balls in play on the ground, and his FIP and xFIP back up his sparkly ERA. Miller's matchup-proof so start him against anyone. Photo credit: Chris Carlson (AP) Didi Gregorius has gotten off to a nice start after being activated from the DL last Tuesday. He's hit in all four games he's played and has multiple hits in three of those games. He went yard in his first at-bat of the season, and hit another homer in his third game. Before you get too excited over Gregorius, just know that his home runs came at Yankee Stadium and Coors Field. Hit Tracker Online tells us Gregor...

Arctic Cooling has now announced a new CPU cooler, ready to taken on the heat of both our processors and the hot summer days. Dubbed Freezer XTREME, the cooler measures 130 (L) x 100 (W) x 131 (H) mm and makes use of a twin tower heatsink with 102 aluminum fins, four double-sided copper heatpipes and a 120mm fan.

Weighting in 608 grams, the Freezer XTREME is claimed to have a cooling capacity of up to 160 Watts but lucky for us the supported LGA 775, Socket 939, AM2 and AM2+ processors (at stock speeds) don't come too close to that value.

Those who want the Freezer XTREME will have to wait until July and set aside $39.95 and 25.95 Euro (without VAT) for it.

Withersfield Duke
previously known as Duke of Wellington
last updated 11/04/2015
The 1891 census lists the pub in Willow Bank. Willowbank is shown as an area on the south side of Church Street, opposite St Mary's Church, on an 1886 map.
(Most pub, location & historic details collated by Nigel, Tony or Keith - original sources are credited)
(some old PO directory information courtesy of londonpublichouse.com)
(1861 census information from Malcolm Fairley)
(***Original source of documentation transcribed by Graham Nunn)
In 1830 the Duke of Wellington was Prime Minister when the the Beer Act was introduced to help create Beer Houses - a new lower tier of premises permitted to sell alcohol. Under the 1830 Act any householder who paid rates could apply, with a one-off payment of two guineas, to sell beer or cider in their home (usually the front parlour) and even brew on the premises. The permission did not extend to the sale of spirits or fortified wines.

I am a uni student/hobbyist and self taught. Started to take a serious approach in art the last 3 years and i'm trying to get all the helpfull critisism i can get in order to get better. I live in greece where a career following the art industry seems impossible at the moment but one can only hope.
As for now i am more interested to see in what level i am, what should i watch out and all in all become a better artist before thinking about pursuing art as a career. Thank you for looking!

The goods: You have good attention to detail at this stage. Also, you're not scared to just make art. When you go further down the professional road, it gets difficult to maintain that level of "whatevs, just gonna make what I want!"
The current weaknesses: At this stage, your work definitely has the vibe of hobbyist. I love the lighthouse image as is. But to get into the art industry (in my case, concept art) you have to consider all of the details that a modeler would have to extract and build from your work. Then again, you'll have to be more specific about WHERE you want to go with an "art career." There's money everywhere, so you just have to pick what your favorite track is. Comics, fine art, storyboarding, concept art, etc. It's alright to be overwhelmed to at the beginning, since you're considering where you want to go for a significant part of your life (only so long as you're serious about this). The best advice all round for now is to set a schedule for yourself and make many, many studies of art that you like, and of anatomy and still life paintings. Also, check out the loomis books if you need a solid place to start, they're all free, just google it
All the best!

Thank you for your input I got my hands on the Loomis books suggested by a good friend allready and they are truly helpfull. The hard part of trying to make art on your own is how to judge yourself. I find myself sometimes reading about fundamentals a lot thus backtracking while i may allready got the grasp of certain things but i just can't tell, or the opposite...There is just so much to watch out that scheduling myself seems really hard. The only thing im regretting is not asking for proffesional help/critisism when i started doing this some years ago. Hopefully this will change!
August 2nd, 2012 #6
You've got a nice, painterly style, and a terrific grasp of color. I love the luminosity in your objects, especially the clouds and water highlights in the lighthouse picture, and the glowing flecks on the skin of the figure in the last image.
It looks like you may want to work a little more on figure anatomy, as the hands and feet on the figure in the last image are a little weird. Most of the big details in the figure are okay, but the behavior of the hair and its interaction with the rest of the figure is a little unrealistic and stiff. The face is stylistically fine by itself, but it doesn't seem to fit the style of the rest of the figure.
That said, the texture on the skin of the figure in the second-to-last image is very well done.
Were these pictures created with digital materials, or traditional ones?
Also, would you mind talking about the symbolism in the fifth image? What's it about?
I'm also interested in the story behind the second-to-last image, if you don't mind sharing.

I also recommend people watch this, concerning mastery of any craft:
Bill Evans has a quote about taking one small fundamental and attacking it completely until it is yours. It's easy to get caught up in wanting to get the big picture as fast as possible. But then you get a skillset that always comes out like a cake that's runny and eggy on the inside. Anatomy, color theory, perspective, form. You just have to start attacking them at the very fundamental levels, and then go from there
August 3rd, 2012 #8
Deep Hurting thank you very much for your kind words. Figure anatomy is certainly a weakness of mine but i'm working on it As regarding your questions they where all made in digital media.
The fifth image as stupid as it may sounds symbolises nothing more than myth/fairytale of the big black dog. Nothing special really, more like a work trying some new stuff and some versatility in my usual style that i think it kinda worked. As for the second-to-last one. It's a portaiture of an original character of mine. A young girl so obsessed about the nature and it's beauty who spends almost her whole time hunting and stuffing small animals/insects. Thats her short story at least and i am aware it shows nowhere in the picture but since you asked it was my pleasure to share!
Sizzle your quote could not be more correct. It is a usual mistake to rush things! It is a state i am trying to get out of, yet again i found it a bit hard to conviece myself that "there is enought time" I guess i just need a right schedule and correct studying.

Rated 3.3 out of 5 by 869 reviewers.
Rated 3 out of 5 by DRLAURA What a headache... I was LUCKY enough to stay at this facility for a professional conference and was bombarded by a national fraternity party. The staff couldn't keep up with the incessant party; a garbage can full of chicken bones and catering bins lined the halls. I originally was housed on the 26th floor but called to get the room changed. When the front desk clerk could hear the noise through my call, he upgraded my room but it still was a tragic space. The bathroom was dirty, furniture smeared with LORD knows what and the carpet needed to be washed-- or burned, I'm not sure which. I elected to stay here because of sheer convienance and ended up regretting it. The high note-- the staff were all charming, restaurants very accomodating and tasty, proximity to everything-- sure it was there. Beyond that, it was like a Sheraton and a Motel 6 had a baby... not the quality I was expecting or paid for. July 14, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Cincy53 Great conference facility Just attended a three-day conference here and everything ran smoothly. Was very impressed with the staff as they served 700+ for dinner. July 14, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by wertyuo extremely friendly housekeeping staff Very good hotel with the most friendly housekeeping staff I've encoutnered July 14, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by Vigs2014 Needs Updating The rooms was comfortable and the furniture was nice, but you can see that the hotel needs to be updated. It is time for a floor by floor makeover. This could be an excellent hotel. The location is perfect. It is nice place but it is time for refreshing. July 13, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Christy72 enjoyed hotel We appreciate this hotel. Staff are great and we appreciate its dog friendly policies. July 12, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by baytraveler7 Stuck in the 80's This hotel is in desparate need of a renovation. I was very disappointed with this hotel and my room, which was tiny. July 10, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by noguns shady hotel I arrived at 1:30am in the morning, having called that I'm going to be late. When checking in I was told that there is unfortunately no room left for me. After pointing out that this is the 2nd time in a row that I didn't get a room despite a reservation and that I called to let them know that I'm going to be late a handicapped room was available. I'm pretty tired of this and not going to stay at this hotel anymore July 10, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by LadiLuc 4th of July's This would be the second 4th of July we've spent at the Sheraton. Great location! Staff were very pleasant & helpful for the most part (two gentlemen in the lobby, concierge and ladies at Starbucks counter 7/4). Dinner service waitstaff could use some adjusting. The woman waitstaff seemed as if we were doing her a favor and took her sweet time providing service. Thanks to the busboy for his help. July 10, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Valencia61 4th of July Stay The hotel was very conveniently located to everything I needed and wanted to do in Philadelphia. i thought the location of the Pool was a little out the way, especially for someone who has trouble walking. Overall my stay was excellent. July 8, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by benpenn Tired Upon entering the garage, trash cans were overflowing in and around the elevators, the elevator doors were stained with coffee and drinks most likely from July 4th; we checked in the 6th. The hotel is tired, the floor covering in the main elevators is from a 1960's school house. When you get off at the club level, the foyer chair is missing its cushion. The chairs at the tables in the club are four inches shorter than the table. This place has lived its life. July 8, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Neet37 I was rubbed the wrong way when I first checked in... Downtown Philadelphia location. We arrived very early in the morning. I walked up to one guy who acted like he didn't even see me and later on he did the same thing to my man. The other gentleman was really nice. The hotel was excellent other than the no free wifi. These days that is a must. The rooms were clean, the beds are so comfortable. I would recommend the hotel to my friends. The wifi is a must though....12.95 per day is extreme when most places are offering free wifi. July 7, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by FrankJuly2014 14 year anniversary The hotel was great. The staff went over and above to make my 14 year anniversary stay a great one. I recommend this hotel. July 7, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Tami54 Great stay! Comfortable, clean room, attentive friendly staff only complaint wifi $13 a day July 6, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by 0705 This hotel is in a great location First time in Philadelphia. Had a great visit.. location is great to all 4th of July activities. Woodrow from hotel security was great and very helpful.. he is a great employee July 6, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by nalluC THIS HOTEL's STAFF IS PLEASANT and EFFICIENT I understand that the hotel will be going through renovations. It did not have security box to store valuables although the hotel offered at the lobby level. That is not convenient. The shower pressure is extremely low. People need, sleep, shower and security. Some of the things are missing in those categories. July 6, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Sharon3160 Hotel Features First day waited for elevators took long and were over packed. Ice machine not on every floor, had to go up to 4th floor to get ice. Other wise it was a great stay. July 6, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by Lindaju8 This hotel is in a great location Staff was very friendly and accommodating. Convenient Starbucks located in lobby. When kiosk was closed, hotel provided free coffee which was awesome gesture. Downside is lobby carpets were dirty as were hallways where rooms were located. Bathrooms had no exhaust fans, only one sink, and shower liner curtain did have some mold. Room definitely was in need of a good dusting as well. Big minus for us was that room refrigerators were not included .. July 2, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by NHLDraft2014 Sheraton Downtown Philly We stayed at this hotel for the NHL 2014 draft. It was very disappointing for a Sheraton. Rooms were large however it was difficult to sleep as the air conditioner went off and on all night long, room was either hot or cold and every time the a/c came on there was a loud click. The 2nd room we had wasn't cleaned on the Saturday when we returned after being gone from 12:00 noon until 9:30 pm. Front desk was unfriendly. Had the buffet breakfast, the food was good, but it was expensive and the café closed at 11:00 am daily - this seemed very strange as the hotel was full and the lobby was very busy with people looking for lunch on Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Lounge did serve food however the menu was limited and the wait for service was long. Staff seemed to be caught unaware of the crowd that was there for the draft and a wedding on the Friday. They kept saying that due to the people everything would be delayed including the rooms for check-in and the food. Young gentleman at the Valet Parking was great to deal with, but he was actually the only friendly one, wish we had got his name on Thursday when we arrived. Very disappointed in cleanliness of hotel and overall feel. It is a worn out hotel that doesn't deserve the Sheraton flag. July 1, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by LCAP Great Service From the front desk person who joked about our birthdays being close to each other to the cleaning lady who introduced herself and made sure we had enough creamers for the coffee in the room, this was the friendliest hotel staff I have ever encountered. Great Job! July 1, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Sandy333 Excellent stay. My husband & I were very happy with our recent overnight stay at the Sheraton. The staff & room exceeded our expectations. It was a wonderful stay. June 30, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by NOTHAPPY98 billing screwed up my bill, charged me and my work, when work was paying for it June 30, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by Philadalphiasheraton2014 disappointed Being a SPG member i've seen and stayed at several Sheraton's. This was clear and away the worst one. all areas including service need major improvement. June 30, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Sandy46 Home away from Home! Comfortable rooms, clean, thoughtful care during our stay. .... Just like being at "grandma's house" !!! June 30, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Jennibe Happy with hotel Sheraton Downtown Philly was the host hotel for annual fundraiser. This was the best value we've had over the 9 years of the event and it was in close proximity. Room was clean and beds comfortable. Staff was kind to open doors, be friendly and assist us. June 30, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by JA0520 Top Notch Customer Service The service that I received from the moment I called to make a reservation was excellent. * Reservation agent - took the time to find me the best rate for the room I needed to attend a charity walk in Philadelphia. * Mishap correction - when I realized a week prior to the travel date that the wrong weekend had been booked (99% sure this was actually my fault!), the hotel was quick to make the correction with no questions asked. My rate was kept the same, which was very important to me. * Check in - We arrived weary after a 9hour car ride and were met with very friendly staff. We really appreciated the room upgrade to the club level. I haven't stayed at a Sheraton in a long time, but after this visit and the treatment we received, we will be back! June 30, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by nipidoc Needs some work The room was clean and comfortable and the location is great. But there is no real SPG recognition and the lineup at check-in and checkout actually moved faster for non-SPG guests. Philly is a food city but the food here is vile. We ordered "nachos" and we were served a plate of lays potato chips with some white sauce on top of it. I'm not sure how anyone in the name of Christ can call that "nachos." And for $11 no less. Also the "freshly squeezed grapefruit juice" advertised on the breakfast menu was anything but. Stay here, but don't even think about eating here. June 29, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by patr This hotel was terrible Rude front desk staff. rooms not ready on time. Room smelled like a wet dog June 29, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by Jreilly30 Poor choice None of the upgrades that we logged on the Starwoods site were honored or even recorded. The staff had no desire to find us an acceptable room until my wife became visibly upset, mentioned our Starwoods membership and the wedding party that blocked the rooms. After that we were given a room with 2 double beds for 2 adults and 2 kids aged 14 and 11 on the first floor while the rest of the party was on the 26th floor. The only compromise the front desk offered was access for 2 to the club level 25 floors above for a $10 charge! No directions were given for the rooms or club level and only when the mother of the bride asked, were we given the gift bag the front desk was supposed to give all members of the party. June 29, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Joseph51 Great location and staff I always enjoy staying here. The location is great and allows for an easy walk to all the central sights you want to see. The staff is always super helpful. June 29, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by Nottoreturninmylifetime You need to do better The room service delivery charges are obscene and the quality of the food both in the buffet and room service is average at best. They charge you for wi-fi which is usually now included in most room rentals as part of the room charge or loyalty program. Issues brought to the front desk are not resolved unless you speak to a manager. Wow! I haven't seen service like this anywhere in years. It's a "no" for me. June 27, 2014

Kids this age need physical activity to build strength, coordination, confidence, and to lay the groundwork for a healthy lifestyle. They're also gaining more control over how active they are.
School-age kids should have many opportunities to participate in a variety of activities, sports, and games that fit for their personality, ability, age, and interests. Brainstorm with your kids on activities that feel right. Most kids won't mind a daily dose of fitness as long as it's fun.
The National Association for Sports and Physical Education recommends that school-age kids:
Many parents and kids think of organized sports when they think of fitness. Though there are many advantages to signing a child up for the softball team, practice and games once or twice a week will not be enough to reach activity goals. In addition, parents can no longer rely on physical education in schools to provide enough physical activity for kids.
Here are some ways to keep your kids moving at home:
When you have exhausted the possibilities at home, take advantage of local playgrounds and athletic fields. Make family fitness outings part of your regular routine. Let family members choose an activity — go hiking, ice skating, or try out the rock-climbing gym. Anything goes, as long as everyone can participate.
You can help show your kids that exercise is important by regularly exercising yourself.
Through physical activities, kids learn about sportsmanship, setting goals, meeting challenges, teamwork, and the value of practice.
Keep in mind your child's age and developmental level, natural abilities, and interests. Between the ages of 6 and 8, kids are sharpening basic physical skills like jumping, throwing, kicking, and catching. Some kids enjoy doing this in organized sports teams, but non-competitive leagues are best for younger kids. Show your support by coaching your child's team or cheering from the stands on game days.
Kids 9 to 12 years old are refining, improving, and coordinating skills. Some become even more committed to a sport while others drop out as competition heats up and level of play improves.
It's OK if a child isn't interested in traditional sports, but it's important to find alternative ways to be active. Encourage a child who doesn't like soccer, basketball, or other team sports to explore other active options, like karate, fencing, golf, bicycling, skateboarding, and tennis.
Kids who participate in sports are at risk for injuries, so be sure yours wear the appropriate protective equipment, such as a helmet and protective pads when roller-blading. Kids who specialize in one sport are also at risk of overuse injuries, including stress fractures and joint injuries.
A child with a chronic health condition or disability should not be excluded from fitness activities. Some activities may need to be modified or adapted, and some may be too risky depending on the condition. Consult your doctor about which activities are safe for your child.
Kids who enjoy sports and exercise tend to stay active throughout their lives. And staying fit can help improve self-esteem, maintain a healthy weight, and decrease the risk of serious illnesses such as high blood pressure, diabetes, and heart disease.
If your child refuses to play or interact with peers, or complains of pain during activity, talk with your doctor.

Click here to view your Craft Projects.
Create a colorful card for spring covered in multi-colored butterflies. Terri Sproul demonstrates how to make the Memories Mist card in the project video.
- Ink: India Ink
- Memories Mists: Cheery Smoothie, Blue Lagoon, Mango Lemonade, Iced Coffee
- Silk: Apricot, Fuchsia
- Butterfly Boarder Brass Stencil
- White tag
- Vellum tag
- Rub – on: The Robin's Nest "Viva"
- Heart paper clip
- Transparence or Vinyl Cover: Office Supply Store
- Ribbon: Anna Griffin or Craft store
- Stamps: "Carol's Flower" (large) and "Imagination Butterfly"
- Teflon Sheet or any Non-stick craft sheet
- Adhesive: Zip Dry
- Pattern Paper: "Teal Glitter" from The Robin's Nest
- Stamp "carol's Flower (large)" onto transparence using India Ink – set aside to dry.
- Rub-on "Life is Good" from The Robin's Nest "Viva" collection onto Small Vellum tag. Set Aside.
- When Ink is dry on your transparency (about 15 minute) HINT: stamp this image before you go to bed – then in the morning you can get right into your project with no worries about messing it up.
- On the opposed side of the transparency from where you stamp your image, Color in flowers using Silk. I used "Fuchsia" Silk on the peddles and "Apricot" Silk on the center of the flower. Set aside to dry. When Silk is dry – only a few minutes – cut out image.
- Spray 3 to 4 colors of Memories Mists on top Teflon sheet, next to each other BUT not touching. Press stamp "Imagination Butterfly" straight down into Memories Mists and right onto White card stock – heat set as soon as you remove your stamp. This stops the Memories Mists from spreading further. Continue to Stamp image by continuing to ink with Memories Mists on Teflon Sheet or add a light mist of water to image and stamp. Matte Image onto "Teal Glitter" Pattern Paper.
- Set brass stencil of butterfly onto white tag – cover with post –it notes or scratch paper to protect any of the tag that show. Stray Memories Mist "Cherry Smoothie" – heat set and then spray Memories Mists "Mango Lemonade. Remove Stencil to revile stenciled image.
- Adhere Matted Butterfly image on card base, add Ribbon down left side, Add both tags and Transparency flower.

The video and detailed instructions are fantastic. Where do you find the Silks? I am in a very small town and have to drive over an hour to find a craft store. Are they expensive? I live on SS and it seems I always need a new product that I can't afford.

Space Mtn. & it's closed our next trip.
Btmrr and it was closed the whole x we had ap.
Including DCA, as it has one thing I refuse to skip, and a few 'general' experiences as well:
- Grand circle tour on the Disneyland Railroad
- Pirates Of The Caribbean
- Haunted Mansion
- Snack break inside the Tiki Room (a bottled soda and pickle does nicely, or the garlic bread twist from Fantasy Fair)
- Tower Of Terror
- A ride on the Mark Twain
- Snow White's Scary Adventures
- A slow walk down Big Thunder Trail as near to park closing as possible
when the spooks have a midnight jamboree....
Space Mountain, Thunder Mountain, Haunted Mansion, and Pirates.
And since the addition of DCA - Tower of Terror
Disneyland Railroad
Disneyland Monorail
Big Thunder Mountain (have not done this one in a while due to refurb)
Space Mountain
Enchanted Tiki Room
Soarin' Over California
Radiator Springs Racers
Star Tours: The Adventures Continue
It's a Small World
These rides I've managed to hit every single time I'm there (except for being closed for refurbishment) while there are others that I haven't gone on in quite literally years like Dumbo, Astro Orbiter, Snow White, etc...
"Hello folks, welcome aboard the Disneyland Railroad..."
"The Gods have been angered by all the celebratin'..."
My list has changed.
I grew up watching reruns of the Wonderful World of Disney on Sunday evenings in the early 1970's.
The intro included clips of audio animatronics from attractions at Disneyland.
The Jungle Cruse, Pirates of the Caribbean, The Enchanted Tiki room, Great moments with Mr. Lincoln…etc.
Therefore going to Disneyland meant seeing these images for myself. To experience Disneyland meant rides with audio animatronics.
It took 26 years before my fist visit to Disneyland and I have been a dozen or more times to DLR and WDW. So when I ride these attractions…I feel like I have won. I feel like I am 8 years old and I have won the biggest prize in the cereal box.
I still enjoy the three "must do's" for me…The Jungle Cruse, Pirates of the Caribbean and the Haunted Mansion. (regular NOT NBC overlay)
But recently …my "must do" is purchasing popcorn from a cart at the hub in front of Sleeping Beauties Castle, walking back down Main Street USA and sitting on a bench in Town Square.
There's much to be said for taking it slow and enjoying Disneyland just being around you.
For the last couple of months our twins are going with this loop:
*Tiki Room=always first, always a must!
*Jungle Cruise=this started during the Jingle Cruise
*(Sometimes Pirates)
*Haunted Mansion
*Winnie the Pooh
*Pooh Corner(Mile Long Bar) to get a yummy treat from the bakery
*Splash Mt. or Canoes(for the twin that won't ride splash)=This will start again with warmer weather
*Big Thunder Mt. Railroad=Just added
*Small World=Will return to the rotation when it's open and it is always a must!
*Shopping at any store or cart can be added at any time.

Windhoek — The Minister of Health and Social Services Dr Richard Kamwi has appealed to Namibians seeking prayers and spiritual healing from Nigerian preacher TB Joshua to hold over their plans until the deadly Ebola virus is brought under control in West Africa.
Kamwi's appeal comes after a 49-year-old woman who arrived at Hosea Kutako International Airport on 5 August after allegedly visiting TB Joshua in Nigeria, was cleared of Ebola after being kept under observation for 21 days at the Windhoek State Hospital.
Last week New Era reported about a group of 20 Namibians who arrived in the country from Nigeria
and were all taken in for medical check-ups as government tried to detect any Ebola cases.
It is understood that the group had travelled to Nigeria to seek spiritual healing from TB Joshua, Africa's most popular televangelist and supposed spiritual healer.
"No Namibians should take the risk of travelling to Ebola-affected countries for religious congregation," Kamwi urged yesterday.
"Visiting Ebola-hit countries will put us all at risk of getting the infection and spreading the disease to Namibia."
Chairperson of the National Health Emergency Management Committee, Dr Jack Vries, confirmed to New Era that a person travelling from Nigeria was kept in isolation for 21 days as a precaution against Ebola. She was released yesterday.
"She was released today. I am not telling you who she is, all I can tell you is that she is 49 and has been under observation at a government hospital for screening and observation for Ebola virus, " Vries said.
Vries said the woman received a clean bill of health after which she was allowed to leave hospital yesterday.
Any Namibian travelling from Ebola-hit countries such as Nigeria, Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone will be subjected to similar medical check-ups.
Last week government announced that visitors from those countries would be prevented from entering Namibia until further notice.
Vries yesterday said no Ebola case has been reported in Namibia yet.
Last week thermal detectors were installed at Hosea Kutako International Airport, Walvis Bay Airport as well as the other main entry points to screen visitors arriving in the country.
Ebola is set to be one of the deadliest viruses known to man and has already claimed more than 1 350 lives in Nigeria, Sierra Leone, Guinea and Liberia since it broke out in March. But most recently a new outbreak has also been confirmed in the DR Congo, which brings the virus much closer to Namibia's borders. The virus was initially identified in the DR Congo in 1976.

Lorinne is an old friend I met in 2000. She used to live in Memphis and date my roommate. They'd long ago broken up, but she and I stayed in contact. She married and moved to New York a few years ago.
Though they live almost right in downtown Jamestown, she and her husband have close to a full acre of land. Lorinne has taken the time to clear what used to be just wild growth.
Lorinne and I met her mom and her sister for lunch.
Lorinne's husband makes tie-dye shirts, which you can see her wearing above on the left, then her mom, and her sister is sitting next to me.
If you're ever in Jamestown, the Coffee Cup is the place to eat. Lunch special was some sort of cheese soup, which was unbelievably good, and the sandwiches and fries were perfect.
Lorinne is an architect who specializes in re-utlizing older buildings. She does her work in a former dentist office in the Pintagro Building downtown. Her landlord is also a client.
Back at her house, I took a little break in her manicured back lawn.
But then I had to get on the road. My friends in Toronto were expecting me. The border crossing (once I was to the front of the line) took less than a minute and I didn't even take off my helmet. I got a mint as a welcome gift.
And then heavy traffic through the city until I got to Donnaleen's house.
Now, a little backstory. In 2010 Tiffany Coates (yeah, that Tiffany) came through Memphis and had a bit of trouble, so I helped her get back on the road. With her was a long-time family friend, Donnaleen. I spent several days with Tiffany and Donnaleen as we rode down the Natchez Trace Parkway, even riding with Donnaleen for a while on Tiffany's bike. This picture is from that trip in 2010.
Donnaleen told me that if I were ever in the Toronto area that I had to stop by. So here I was, two years later, on the way. When I arrived I met Donnaleen's husband, Peter. After asking if I'd like a beer, he asked, "Do you like steak?" And shortly had the grill fired up.
We ate a late dinner, which was perhaps the best meal of the entire trip.
And then finished with a glass of Scotch afterward.
Laphroaig is known for it's particularly strong flavor. It served a perfect ending to a wonderful day.

San Pascual StablesRead MoreNestled amidst the Arroyo Seco and San Gabriel mountains, San Pascual Stables enchants visitors with natural beauty and an enthusiastic crew of trainers continuing a 34-year tradition of equine education. During an expertly guided horsemanship class, trainees learn the basics under the wing of a trainer well versed in hunter and jumper riding. After a series of three lessons, clients are likely to feel more at home on horseback, and can swiftly opt into future lessons, in which they can learn how to further care for their creature and how to properly parallel park it in front of a crowded saloon.221 San Pascual AvenueSouth Pasadena, CA US

Executive DogsRead MoreThough primarily a dog walking company, Executive Dogs is also responsible for many of the new friendships made within the Los Angeles area. Their staffers get to know each pet and develop close bonds with the animal. That way, dogs look forward to walks as much as owners look forward to having more time on their hands. To keep canines calm and at ease, the company's team makes sure to step over mom-threatening cracks, and only walks pets individually or with other dogs that live in the same household. The dog lovers also house sit for owners who require extended time away from home.MobileEast Los Angeles, CA US
California Philharmonic 2012Read MoreThe mission of the California Philharmonic and its founder, renowned conductor Victor Vener, is simple: to increase awareness and appreciation of classical music. Their method, however, is anything but traditional?instead of staging events in formal halls or black-tie stairwells, the ensemble presents their crowd-pleasing concerts at the Santa Anita Race Track and the Walt Disney Concert Hall. Combining pop music, Broadway standards, and legendary symphonies, Vener creates dynamic programs that aim to catch the imagination. Along with engaging performances and tuneful collaborations, the Cal Phil also hosts family nights to encourage children?s symphonic education.285 W Huntington DrArcadia, CA US
A Dog's Life RescueRead MoreA Dog?s Life Rescue was born out of a great love for animals. Co-founders Julia Pennington and Allison Lange lead an all-volunteer team dedicated to rescuing abandoned, abused, and neglected dogs and other animals. The volunteers predominantly serve as street rescuers: whenever they get a call about an injured dog stuck in busy freeway traffic, they stop whatever they're doing to help rescue it. The organization relies on a network of fosters to shelter, care for, and rehabilitate pups while they await placement in permanent loving homes. A Dog?s Life Rescue holds adoption events three times per month, and also helps educate low-income communities on the importance of spaying or neutering pets.357 S FAIRFAX AVE # 282LOS ANGELES, CA US

Joe Vann, Adios Charlie Top Peter Pan
Illinois Derby (gr. III) winner Joe Vann and Jerome (gr. II) winner Adios Charlie lead a field of 11 for the $200,000 Peter Pan Stakes (gr. II), which returns to Belmont Park May 14 after a one-year hiatus.
The 1 1/8-mile Peter Pan is the local springboard for the June 11 Belmont Stakes (gr. I). The feature will go as race 9 on the 10-race program, with a probable post time of 5:16 p.m. EDT.
Todd Pletcher, a winner of two of the last six editions of the Peter Pan, will send out Zayat Stables' Joe Vann, who rides a three-race win streak into the race. The Silver Deputy colt was winless in five starts to begin his career, but has been on a roll ever since breaking his maiden Feb. 17 at Laurel Park.
Joe Vann came back to win an optional claimer at Laurel in March and made a winning stakes debut when he romped by more than four lengths in the April 9 Illinois Derby at Hawthorne Race Course. All three of his wins came in wire-to-wire fashion.
"I think we're going to get a true check of how much confidence he's generated," said Pletcher. "We were a little confused about some of his form. He had a disappointing race at Gulfstream (Jan. 8) and then ran three terrific races. This will give us an idea of where he fits in the big picture."
Bred in Kentucky by Monticule and out of the Danzig mare Polish Flower, Joe Vann (5-1) will be ridden by Javier Castellano for the first time.
Pletcher won the Peter Pan in 2004 with Purge and 2006 with Sunriver.
Robert I. Sahn and Stanley Hough's Adios Charlie was making only his third career start when he rallied to win the April 23 Jerome by 2 1/2 lengths at sloppy Aqueduct. The Indian Charlie colt broke his maiden by nearly seven lengths one month before in a sprint at Gulfstream Park. He was runner-up in his only start as a 2-year-old at Belmont.
Adios Charlie was a $400,000 OBS selected sale of 2-year-olds in training purchase. He was bred in Florida by Brylynn Farms and is out of the Northern Afleet mare Teak Totem. Rajiv Maragh keeps the mount for Hough, who also trains the bay colt.
"He's been training super," said Lazaro Cruz, Hough's assistant. "He ran huge in the Jerome and it didn't seem as if it took much out of him; he's done beautifully since then. We're hoping he runs as well on Saturday."
Adios Charlie was pegged as the 3-1 morning-line favorite.
Also coming off a stakes victory and likely to be part of the pace is Charles Cella's Uncle Brent. The Pioneering gelding took the one-mile Northern Spur Stakes at Oaklawn Park on April 16, which was his second win in three starts this season for trainer Lynn Whiting. He will try a route of ground for the first time in the Peter Pan with new rider John Velazquez in the irons.
"He's done everything in fine fashion," said Whiting, who saddled Lil E. Tee to win the 1992 Kentucky Derby. "This is a good time slot and a good opportunity for him. We think he's got a forward move in him."
Though they didn't win, Prime Cut and Newsdad both enter off of solid efforts in their last starts. Courtlandt Farms' Prime Cut was second, beaten 1 1/2 lengths by Derby Kitten, in the April 23 Coolmore Lexington Stakes (gr. III) on the Keeneland Polytrack. The Neil Howard trainee won an optional claimer and hit the board in two other starts while racing at Fair Grounds earlier this season. He had been under consideration for the Preakness but was instead pointed for this race.
"The Preakness has a big field with a lot of speed and the top horses from the Derby look tough coming right back and I don't know if he's ready for that," said Howard. "If he runs in one of the (Triple Crown) races, we feel the Belmont would be the best for him."
James Karp's Newsdad returns to dirt after making three starts on turf and synthetics this season. The Arch colt broke his maiden on the Gulfstream turf going 1 1/8 miles in January, finished third in the Palm Beach (gr. IIIT) in March, and was fourth but beaten only a length in the Toyota Blue Grass Stakes (gr. I) last out. Alan Garcia will ride for Bill Mott.
Also entering off of a graded stakes race is Pin Oak Stable's homebred Alternation , who was fifth in the Arkansas Derby (gr. I) after a poor start in his black-type debut. Alternation won three in a row before that.

Despite playing just seven seasons in the Capital Athletic Conference thus far, the Wesley College men's basketball team placed three former players on the CAC Silver Anniversary Team, it was announced by the league office on November 20. Among the three Wolverines named to the Silver Anniversary Team were Rashawn Johnson ('09), Paul Reynolds ('13) and David Langan ('14). The three Wesley selections was the third most of any team from the CAC. Entering its 25th year of varsity competition, the...
Wesley College's Roderick Caine has been named the Eastern College Athletic Conference Football Co-Defensive Player of the Week, it was announced by the league office on Nov. 18. This is the first weekly award of any kind in Caine's career. Caine forced a fumble and recovered two more in fourth-ranked Wesley's heartbreaking 38-33 loss at Division I FCS Charlotte last Saturday. Caine also made seven tackles with 1.5 coming for a loss as well as a sack.
Former Wesley College Angie Owens has been named to the Capital Athletic Conference Women's Basketball Silver Anniversary Team, it was announced by the league office on Nov. 18. Owens holds the Wolverines career record with 1,054 rebounds and 225 blocks while ranking third in points (1,516) and fifth in free throws made (209). Owens also holds Wesley single-season records with a 59.4% field goal percentage and 332 rebounds, both of which were set in the 2008-09 season.
Wesley's Brionna Johnson was named to the All-Tournament Team during the 2014 Neumann Tournament on Nov. 16. During the championship game, she grabbed 18 rebounds and scored 15 points. The team finished second in the tournament, as they fell 59-49 to Neumann.
Fourth-ranked Wesley College's football game at Charlotte on Saturday, November 15 will be nationally televised in 23 different and 44 cities, including the District of Columbia on American Sports Network. Those States highlighted in Navy Blue are areas where the game is scheduled to be televised. Kickoff is scheduled for 12 pm from the 15,314 seat Jerry Richardson Stadium with Mike Gleason handling the play-by-play and legendary coach Jim Donnan with the analysis.
It's a script made for Hollywood. One week Eric Speidel was running the sidelines as a ball boy at Wesley College, and the next he's kicking extra points and field goals. Since joining the Wolverines roster in the fifth week, Speidel is a perfect 42-for-42 on extra points and 4-for-4 on field goals.
Wesley College's Nick Miller has been named to the Capital One Academic All-District Football Team as selected by the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA), it was announced by the organization on November 6.

Letter: Too many deaths
La Salle Dudley, Memphis
What is it with the milking of the Benghazi episode (Jan. 29 letter, "Cover-up in Benghazi")? Were the lives of Ambassador Stevens and three other Americans more important than the lives of our young people being lost on a daily basis? We are certainly having no hearings in Congress on behalf of them.
Can America put an armored unit at every little outpost around the world? Perhaps Stevens' place of operation should have been in Tripoli, which has the possibility maybe to provide more security.
If the truth is ever found and if it is in fact different from what we know now, will we put an armored force at all of our foreign outposts?
