I'm giving this cleanser 2 lippies, even though it works perfectly FINE.
Not 'good', you understand. Fine. It's capable of removing my sunblock, concealer, eyeshadow and eyeliner all at once, which is nice.
It has a balmy consistency, kind of like Egyptian Magic Cream. Once you spread it over your skin, it heats up and 'melts' a little, which is also nice.
This is, in all aspects, a reasonably nice product. However, I do have a bone to pick with it. EIGHTY DOLLARS. THIS COST ME EIGHTY BLOODY DOLLARS. For something that I paid eighty dollars for, I expected it to work much, much better, and to do much, much more.
Eve Lom Cleanser is like the nice girl in school who lends you worksheets to photocopy when you have lost yours. She occasionally shares her fruit that she packs for lunch with you. However, you and her have no chemistry, She is nothing compared to your best friend, Retin-A, who makes you cry, and laugh, and who you fight with, but ultimately love dearly because she has helped you so much.
This cleanser didn't help my skin very much. It was alright, and it made my skin softer, although not amazingly so.
One last thing. Why, WHY, is the first ingredient MINERAL OIL? Don't get me wrong, I LOVE mineral oil for my face. Having incredibly sensitive skin, I need an inert substance to seal in the moisture and prevent me from flaking. However, for the PRICE of this cleanser, the usage of an EXTREMELY CHEAP substance like mineral oil is not justified. If let's say, Neutrogena or Pond's (which I love to death) uses mineral oil in their products, no, I wouldn't complain at all, because it is priced reasonably for the ingredients that it uses.
But, Eve Lom is SO freaking expensive, and at this price I expect the ingredients to be of high quality, like mermaid tears or unicorn semen!
I much prefer Pond's Cold Cream (old formula) to this. Cheap, and works just as well.

Using this cleanser was like spreading honey-coloured Vaseline all over my face and neck. I didn't find the consistency and texture pleasant, but that wasn't the worst of it. This stuff reeks! It smells oddly herbal-medicinal-dental. The smell was so off-putting to me that I was only able to use it once. Reading the ingredients list, it must be the combination of hops, clove, and eucalyptus oil that bothers me so much.
Despite the smell, I wanted to give it a proper try. I massaged the stuff into my skin and over my eyelids. It says it removes all makeup, so I thought it would be safe. Then you have to soak the muslin cloth in hot water and place it over your face, three times. The heat is supposed to help with the cleansing process. I don't know how, because the muslin cloth is so thin, it doesn't retain heat. By the time it reached my face it had already cooled down considerably. But fine, on to removal.
I folded the cloth into a square and starting rubbing my skin in circular motions to try and get rid of the cleanser. By now, the smell was giving me a headache. I found it quite difficult to remove the cleanser, as it left an oily residue on my skin. Perhaps that's supposed to be there, considering that you're not supposed to tone and moisturise after using it. I just don't like the feeling of a waxy film on my skin, so I tried to remove it all.
Well, after scrubbing my skin with a piece of fabric for what felt like far too long, my face was certainly clean and exfoliated. But I believe I would have gotten the same result by using Vaseline, any other cleanser, or even regular soap. Faster than it took to remove the Eve Lom cleanser. I think using the cloth to remove the cleanser is what leaves skin feeling clean and soft. For me, my skin felt dry and tight from all the scrubbing. The cleanser also stung my eyes, a sensation which lasted long after cleansing. And the scent remained!
I'm sorry to have to say that my experience with this cleanser was less than pleasant. I wish I could have tried it for longer to check for skin reactions or to see whether I too would get the healthy, glowing skin reported by others, but for me, the smell is an insurmountable obstacle. I also dislike the unhygienic jar the cleanser comes in.
The day after using this I developed three painful cystic pimples next to my nose. I don't suffer from acne, nor do I have sensitive skin. I hadn't changed anything else in my skincare routine, so I am certain that it was this cleanser that caused it.

As you would have gathered from the other reviews this is a very greasy heavy feeling cleanser that is hideously over priced... however I went against every bit of sensibility I have and purchased it!
I had to see what the hype was about and I can say I am very pleased with the results. This feels a bit like a luxury spa item to use because of the smell but it is quite strong and might not be for everyone. On the upside I have cut about 4 other products out of my night cleansing routine because of this product which has made getting my face clean at night alot quicker (yes... even with the whole muslin cloth process!)
This is quite drying on my skin and despite what Eve lom claims I still need to use a serum and moisturiser at night. But this cleans like nothing I have ever used before! If you are after a really DEEP cleanser this will do it! I found I started to get breakouts after a few days of use and this lasted about a week, not bad breakouts but it seemed to be drawing out alot of impurities and crud which had been just under the surface of the skin for a while. The breakouts lasted about a week.
I have been using this for about 2 months and my skin is so glowing and smooth. It has:
Removed blackheads
unclogged and refined pores
Been very deep cleaning but still gentle
Helped with oil balance on my face
the biggest down side to this is the price!!! but I can't argue with the results and my skin has seriously never looked better. Having said that I am not sure this cleanser would work for everyone? I would recommend getting a sample if possible first! ( I got a sample from Mecca in Australia) I personally love this product and if you are serious about your skin I would at least recommend you give it a try.

I was excited to try this cleanser since its hard to get your hands on in the NW. I used it with the special muslin cloth specifically designed to enhance this cleanser's effectiveness. Usually after cleansing my face, my skin feels tight and dry--in need of moisturizing. This wasn't the case. My skin felt hydrated afterwards and hardly taut. The price may make you weary at first, but may be justified when you read this product tones and hydrates your skin all in one cleansing. No need to buy a separate toner or to exfoliate after using this system. I really like it overall yet I'm on the fence if I would buy it at full retail.. :/

I love this cleanser, but it took a while! I persevered because of how much I paid. After two months of use, my skin is in pretty good shape. I still have blocked pores and the occasional blemish, but my over tone has greatly improved. If you have the spare cash, go for it, but I wouldn't say it's a must purchase, I think there are similar products for a nicer price. Antipodes grapeseed butter cleanser is just as good and half the price (New Zealand product)

An amazing cleanser that doesn't leave the skin tight. Melts away every last bit of makeup in whatever form it may appear. Creams, powders, gels, waterproof colors, all gone with one application. Feels extremely luxurious and the process is calming and almost spa-like. I would highly recommend the product not only for the quality, but also for the experience and result. It has significantly changed the texture of my skin for the better. I have a noticeable reduction in pores and overall my skin looks more supple, softer and smoother.

Had really high hopes for this cleanser after hearing so many people raving about how amazing it is......how wrong I was!!! I used this for two weeks int he hope that it would actually make my skin better - it made it worse and worse! (so glad I only shelled out for the smallest tub!) I switched to Dermalogica after this and that has made a big improvement to my skin.

Probably one of the best cleansers for sensitive/combination, normal or dry skin. I guess that it might be too emollient for oily or acne prone skin.
After switching to another brand recently, I can really see the difference in how my skin reacts to Eve Lom, which is to say flawlessly.
It smells of essential oils and it is a bit time consuming, but beauty never did favor the lazy. :)
I will probably be a lifelong Eve Lom user.

I do not give a skincare product HG status until I finish it and find that I want to repurchase because I simply can't be without it, which is rare. So far only this cleanser and Exuviance Vespera Bionic Serum have become my HG's. I first tried this product under the recommendation of a friend. Before this, I've switched from one cleanser to another before finishing them because they all either made my skin feel tight due to dryness or caused some kind of problem. The first time I used this cleanser I was surprised at how good my skin felt after. I thought, like a lot of other products, it might stop working so well after a few times, but that never happened. I actually enjoy washing my face with this cleanser. I don't use the muslim cloth often, because washing with it makes my skin feel dryer. I bought the 50ml tub to try it out before shelling out so much money. I am at the end of the tub and will repurchase once it's finished. Gotta say, I hate, hate, hate the price of this product, but it is the best cleanser I've tried so far so what can I do.

HP balks at patent provision in GPL updateAugust 2, 2006
The network's patents are available royalty-free to any party that agrees not to file infringement suits involving its own patents "against the Linux environment." Under the network's terms, that environment includes not just the kernel at the heart of the open-source operating system, but also higher-level components including the open-source MySQL and PostgreSQL databases that compete with Oracle's own core products.
"We believe licensing Open Invention Network's patents provides assurance to anyone working to make Linux better, including Oracle," Edward Screven, Oracle's chief corporate architect, said in a statement from the network. The group plans to announce Oracle's participation on Tuesday.
The network, founded in November 2005 by IBM, Red Hat, Novell, Philips and Sony, has amassed more than 100 strategic patents enforceable worldwide, the group said. The group hopes to collect patents that can balance the portfolio that traditional computing companies have assembled over the years.
Patents and open-source software have proved an awkward combination. Patents grant inventors exclusive technology rights for a period of time, but the open-source movement is founded on the idea of sharing technology freely. Oracle, while contributing to some open-source projects and even distributing a clone of Red Hat's Linux, generates the bulk of its revenue by selling proprietary software.

Last season was supposed to be the swan song for the legendary tight end Tony Gonzalez. He had announced his intentions to retire from football at season's end and with the Falcons' loss in the NFC Championship, it seemed as though we had seen the last of Tony Gonzalez. Not so fast. Jay Glazer reported on Fox Sports earlier that the 13x Pro Bowl tight end was going to suit up for the 2013 season.
Tony Gonzalez told FOX Sports in an exclusive interview that he has informed the Atlanta Falcons he is coming back and the two sides are on the verge of a new contract that will put him back with Matt Ryan and company for one more run.
A lot of NFL fans I talked to over the course of last season seemed less than convinced that Tony Gonzalez was really going to hang them up. Event though he announced his impending retirement, many - I included - thought there was a chance the 10x All-Pro would go for the Super Bowl one last time after Atlanta lost to San Francisco in the playoffs. A lot of people enjoy knocking an athlete down a peg when they go back on their word, but I doubt there's many people who are disappointed the greatest tight end of all-time is coming back.
Ray Lewis got to go out with a bang by winning a Super Bowl then retiring. Tony Gonzalez will look to do the same next year.

The diversity of RNA editing mechanisms includes nucleoside modifications such as C to U and A to I deaminations, as well as non-templated nucleotide additions and insertions. RNA editing in mRNAs effectively alters the amino acid sequence of the encoded protein so that it differs from that predicted by the genomic DNA sequence.

Let's face it, comic fans are the biggest whiners on the planet. No, really, we are. But, nobody can say that it's not justified. Especially with all of the recent complaints about the decisions made by writers and directors when it comes to putting our favorite superheroes on screen. The movie industry has a fantastic track record of JUST NOT GETTING IT. Here's just a couple of examples, bear with me.
Spider-Man: Sam Raimi seems to think (yes, I'm going there, just hold your flame) that not only is it ok to ignore historical canon but it's also ok to interpret the comics incorrectly and use outdated material. For the last 30 years, the only person who seems to have thought that Peter was still "puny Parker" was Flash Thompson, and of course Sam Raimi. Which is why he cast Tobey Maguire for the role. It's as if someone gave Raimi, or his casting director, a couple old Steve Ditko (no disrespect intended whatsoever) comics and said, "there's your Spider-Man boss, we're off for lunch."
No! No! NONONONO! Toby's a great actor, but he isn't Peter Parker. For those of you who've forgotten, Peter grew up to be a freakin' stud, he just never knew it. THIS, is Peter Parker!* He's ripped with muscles, can lift a fridge with one hand and a school bus if he really tried. Hell, I've even seen him tip a rail car over with one finger!!! "So what! What's this have to do with casting Wonder Woman?" We're getting there, we're getting there hold on. We're not done b!tching yet.
What else was wrong with the Spider-Man (2002 – 2007) movies? Let's just say, "lack of adherence to comic canon!" The one major ingredient to the inspired Geek-Rage when hero movies come out. E.g.
- Organic web-shooters replacing mechanical web-shooters.
- Finger talons in place of genuine, "don't-ask-any-questions wall crawling abilities."
- Emo Parker.
- Parker crying.
- Skinny Eddie Brock! Yes, yes, we know the reason why Raimi picked Topher Grace (which is a fine actor) but Raimi still got it wrong!
- Venom! Granted, you can't include the entire Secret Wars story line, but still… Venom has a white symbol, WHITE! *Shakes fist!*
- Mary JaneJ! MJ is a supermodel. SUPERMODEL! Kirsten Dunst (who's a fine actress and very cute) simply isn't a supermodel. (Sorry Kirsten, but neither are we.)
What did Raimi get right?
- J. Jonah Jameson! J.K. Simmons was perfect!
- Aunt May/Rosemary Harris and Uncle Ben/Cliff Robertson
- Doc Ock
- Gwen Stacy/Bryce Dallas Howard (smoking hot)
- Betty Brant/Elizabeth Banks
- And the costume eventually grew on us.
This same … "formula," violating comic canon, miscast actors, pulling emo out of a writer's a$$, is systemic. To spare you the details, here's the nutshell:
The Amazing Spider-Man (2012): In the upcoming The Amazing Spider-Man (2012), the costume is completely different, again. I can hear you flamers right now b!tching, "How can you judge the movie when you haven't even seen it?!?" Shuddup already. Not judging the movie, judging the friggin' costume. Give it a rest. Continuing on; mechanical web-shooters! That's right, they can't win when a comic geek's complaining. If Raimi was such a damn genius, then we wouldn't be going back to Peter's sly inventions now, would we? But we are, and thank god for it, but they look ridiculous! If you want to see what the web-shooters are supposed to look like, click here. What else? Oh yeah, Peter's parents are not only "back" (as seen in the comics) but apparently are there from the beginning! (which is not in the comics). Yeah, sure, it's most likely a contrived ploy to fit in with the whole S.H.I.E.L.D. bit, but that's what we hate, contrived, "square peg/round hole" manipulations to meet the directors ends, not our needs. BAH!
X-Men Origins: Wolverine: What was right? Hugh Jackman. What was wrong? The biggest gripe I can think of right now is Deadpool. Ryan Reynolds is fine, but that piece of garbage that was supposed to be Deadpool… someone should have been fired and shipped to Iraq for making such an idiot move. What In THEE HELL were they thinking? Adamantium blades, optic blast, sewn mouth and teleporting without a device (DP uses a mechanical device to teleport. It's not an organic skill).
Superman Returns: Returns from what? Give me a break. Brandon Routh looks great, is tall, looks good and even plays a great Clark Kent, but I'm sorry, he's no Superman. Simply because he's not massive enough. Superman is huge, big, muscles everywhere. Brandon Routh has an Olympic swimmer's body; lean, too lean, like a barracuda, and sure he has some muscles, yeah, but even Hugh Jackman had more mass than Routh, and that's just wrong. What else? Swim suit shorts. BAH! And you just HAD to change the symbol, didn't you. Had to leave YOUR mark, your signature, pissing on everything, "Singer was here!"
The list goes on, it literally doesn't stop. Which brings us to Wonder Woman. Who should play Wonder Woman? The key is first figuring out what Wonder Woman is, and what she is not. It's not that hard, really. All you have to do is open a couple dozen gorram Wonder Woman comic and start reading.
What Is Needed In A Wonder Woman?
A long list of very simple concepts.
- Tall – Wonder Woman is 5'11″. At that height there aren't that many applicants, but at least it screens out all of the shorter women.
- Beautiful – Not just beautiful, but drop dead, traffic stopping beautiful.
- Exotic – Not your average bombshell from California or Texas, but more of a Mediterranean look, slightly ethnic with olive skin.
- Perfectly proportioned – Yeah, sure guys go nuts over the Pamella Anderson type Thunder Boobs look, but Wonder Woman isn't about that. She's statuesque, has curves without being ridiculously over endowed.
- Has a build – Yeah,sure guys like skinny girls, but Wonder Woman is an Amazon, which means she has muscles. If you were to put a bunch of comic geeks in a room full of Mt. Dew and Cheetos, you'd hear them say that her strength is arguably just shy of Superman's. If push came to shove, she can even hold her own against the Hulk. … for a while. Then she'd have to pull an Ultimates Wasp move on him if she wanted to stop him in his tracks.
- Can fight – Movie makers never seem to understand that the audience can tell when a woman can't fight on screen. It's like, watching a girl throw a baseball (granted, there are lots of highly athletic girls/women out there, (who can throw better than 90% of the guys out there) but this comment is in reference to the very non-athletic girl throwing a ball). What comes to mind is casting someone like Michelle Yeoh in a fight scene.
- Can act – Last, but definitely not least, we won't be fooled by big boobs and panties. … ok, so we can be fooled but we're going to b!tch about it after the movie's done playing. Yeah, sure we'll buy the DVD, but we'll still b!tch about it. Wonder Woman has to act. We won't let the movie people get away with just showing us cheese cake! … well, a little cheese cake is ok, but please don't let the show ride on that alone.
Some Wonder Woman Applicants
We searched the interwebs for relative unknowns or missed opportunities and we found several beauties who we feel come close to the embodiment of Wonder Woman.
Elisabetta Canalis: At 5'7″ Elisabetta is a stunning Italian actress who also happens to be George Clooney's girlfriend. (Go George!). She appeared in Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo and romantic comedy Virgin Territory.
Laetitia Casta: Though, only 5'5″, Laetitia has many of the prerequisites to be Wonder Woman, if not another Amazon on Themyscira. She is a French model & actress. She was the official face of L'Oréal, Dior, and Chanel. She's been featured in Tommy Hilfiger, Guess Jeans, Miu Miu and XOXO ad campaigns and has appeared on over 100 magazine covers including Victoria's Secret catalogs, ELLE magazine, and Vogue magazine. She also appeared in 3 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issues, Rolling Stone, and a Pirelli Calendar and was the face of Ralph Lauren's newest fragrance, Notorious. Laetitia is no slouch.
Moran Atias: At a STUNNING 5'9″ Moran is mind shattering gorgeous Israeli actress and model. She's so hot, she could be a waitress or …or an airline stewardess in the 60s. She was discovered in Italy by Roberto Cavalli and was cast in the Israeli "Strauss" commercial and chosen to lead the "Renuar" campaign. She has also won the title of Miss Israel. If you have ever known, or met Israeli women, you will know that they are some of the most beautiful women in the world. Ai chi-wawa!
Ayelet Zurer: Ayelet is another Israeli actress, best known for her roles in Nina's Tragedies, Adam Resurrected, Munich, and Angels & Demons. Though. Though she is no spring chicken, she (at the very least) has what it takes to play Hippolyta. The one thing we do know about Isralie women. … they can fight. Everyone in Israel is drafted into the military for two years, though, unless you're a supermodel, then you can dodge it, however it's considered a big no-no there. … I think I'm going to have to go rent Angels & Demons now.
We could go on and on, but we think you get the idea. Let's just hope that the people who come together to create the next Wonder Woman TV show or movie does their due diligence to research Wonder Woman and understand who she is and what she represents. If you're looking to get a good understanding on DC's retconned Wonder Woman, we highly suggest George Perez's Wonder Woman: God and Mortals. Another good book to get is Wonder Woman: Hiketeia. And, as usual, your thoughts are welcome. We know many of you won't agree, but at least we're trying to set the standard.
* "No More Puny" What comic, issue, what year, and what page is this on? The first Person to send us the correct answer (at facebook @ superherostuff.com) to all of these questions wins a free t-shirt! Winner will be posted here.

Rated 5 out of 5 by FriarTuck as always To my surprise and eventual delight I was given a room on the seventh floor with its access to the club room or whatever it's called and a delicious continental breakfast. better continents than most I've experienced. At check-in clerk commented on this being by 10 Starwood stay but made no reference to giving me the 7th floor room and is significance, so i was all a surprise to me. Thanks.! October 20, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Venusian2000 Great staff I stayed 3 nights and I want to mention about the staff member, Garrett, in the Indigo restaurant. After my first buffet breakfast, he remembered that I liked having hot tea, so the second morning, he saw me walking in, then brought various teabags, hot water in a cup, along with an extra pot of hot water, and honey. I didn't ask for those; they were right in front of me. He is an excellent server, who pays attention to details. I enjoyed my breakfast, and appreciated his service. October 14, 2013

Rated 5 out of 5 by RAM13 Staycation We had a very nice time staying at the Crescent for our Staycation this year. The pool & spa were very large. The twisty pool slide was lots of fun for us & our son. The shrimp tacos & burgers at the Indigo Bistro were so good & the Eggs Benedict was great also! All the staff was so accommodating, we would definitely stay there again. September 2, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Patty760 this hotel met all my expectations Hotel staff was friendly and made us feel welcomed, restaurant food was excellent. my children enjoyed the monsoon waterslide had an awesome time. Even though hotel was still going under renovations we had an excellent experience. I would highly recommend this hotel. August 26, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by townjcvt Great Hotel! I stay here often because of the convenient location and the terrific staff! And now that they are renovating all the rooms I'll have yet another reason to enjoy my stays at the Sheraton Crescent. August 19, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by forensiclisa Always a wonderful stay The pool and water slide make this hotel for us. It's so lovely, comfortable and shady by the pool and the kids love making the rounds between the slide, hot tub, and pool. The rooms are always clean and relaxing. I enjoy staying on the club floors. Staff is always helpful and courteous. August 19, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by CAPTPCD Good Nights Rest Most important criteria was a quiet room and comfortable bed, which surpass expectations. Pool, and gym were excellent, better than most hotels on this trip. Access to the club lounge was a luxury. August 12, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by 1stinventor Check your bill! Staff excellent, rooms very comfortable, but both the desk & restaurant overcharged us on 3 SEPARATE OCCASIONS. Rest. also added an 18% gratuity on our party of 4 w/o telling us when delivering our check. I can excuse 1 occasion, maybe 2, but NOT 3. Can't recommend b/c of those incidents. August 12, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Barbie46 Outstanding service by all staff received. The staff was the most accommodating of any hotel stay we have had to date (and we travel a lot) From the housekeeping staff to the meal service staff to the front desk and bell men, all employees truly went out of their ways to help us. The meals were also excellent . . . especially for banquet meals; we were so impressed! August 4, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by JustaBr Below Expectations I was expecting a higher level of service with this hotel and facilities. Between the price for rooms and restaurants, one would expect extras! I checked into my room and it was very stagnant and warm. The a/c unit does not project much air and doesn't make the room comfortable. I ended up having to change rooms at 1am due to waking up sweating from the hotness of the room. The room they moved me to, was on the outskirts of the building and was worse than the first, but in the upper 70s in the room and same a/c situation. I ended up not getting any sleep and having to work all day. I did approach the front desk, and they said they would have a better room for me when I returned and I requested a fan as well. They did accomidate me and put me in a center room, they also had the fan in there. They did give me a comped night and some restaurant credit. When you walk in this hotel it looks like its going to be really nice, but then you go to the rooms and its super dated. I suggest going to a lower level "newly" built hotel for a much better bang for your buck. I went into the ice room and there was a cup with liquid in it molding. I decided not to mention it as I had already been such a problem child. Just seems like this hotel is run down and not getting the funding to properly upkeep the hotel. I appreciate the efforts the staff did make to accommodate me, but why are your rooms so hot in the desert in the first place? August 3, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by ljm2012 comfortable beds great rooms, kids love the slide July 30, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by NealZ This hotel has gone downhill I have stayed at the Sheraton Crescent about a half dozen times over the past couple of years. My room has always been on the Club Level, which I have found to be nice and somewhat typical for a Sheraton Club Level in a hotel built in the 1980s. Unfortunately, while this information was not disclosed as part of the reservation process under "special conditions," the Club Level was apparently closed. While the hotel did attempt to compensate by providing me and my guests (I had a second room for my parents) with vouchers for complimentary buffet breakfasts in the restaurant and a compliment appetizer in the lounge at Happy Hour, this still fell below the usual amenities which one would expect from a Club Level experience. The regular rooms are quite worn and in need of repair. The furnishings are old, and there are not enough outlets for a laptop and iPhone at the desk. (Club level rooms have special L-shaped desks with extra built-in outlets.) The only outlet near the desk was controlled by the light switch, so the only way to charge a phone or laptop was to leave the light on! Epic fail. Regular rooms have fewer bathroom amenities (no body wash, loofah sponge, mouthwash, shaving cream, or bathroom). I have grown accustomed to having these creature comforts, and was sorely disappointed when they failed to materialize. Since the hotel obviously knew that they weren't going to be able to accommodate me in a Club Level room (and knew enough to pre-block 2 rooms on the 3rd floor next to each other), it would have made sense for them to pre-stock the rooms with those items. The high speed internet is abysmally slow. This is an ongoing problem, and I have experienced it before. While I get high speed for free as a Platinum guest, I would have been even more disappointed had I actually paid the $10/day for service which really isn't much faster than dial-up. Food in the breakfast buffet is mediocre at best. Perhaps this is because they've had to put together something on a shoestring to compensate for the lack of a club floor. But they couldn't even keep an available stock of clean plates. (I wound up putting my dried out scrambled eggs in a cereal bowl.) There is also no indication anywhere telling guests that they can order toast/bread from the waiter. It was only because my father ordered some toast that we learned that it was included and complimentary. If they aren't going to include a bread and toaster station at the buffet, there should be a sign indicating that bread/toast is available from the waiter. There were torrential rains over the weekend, and the balconies took on a significant amount of water. Drainage is poorly designed, so the balconies were unusable throughout the stay. I worry about mosquitoes and West Nile when I see that much standing water for a period of time. There were 2 family reunions over the weekend, and both seemed to have guests who were a but louder and more rambunctious than typical guests, and their revelry seemed to last well past midnight. While I certainly don't begrudge people the opportunity to enjoy joyously spending time with their families, I must draw the line at screaming drunks running down the hallway well after midnight. Where was hotel security, and why was this allowed to happen? If this was happening on my floor, it was likely happening on other floors as well. And it wasn't a single isolated incident - it was systematic and ongoing. (Yet another reason why I like the Club Level and why I was disappointed to learn that it was closed for renovation; it tends to weed out some of the more rambunctious element, and tends to be reserved for business and frequent travelers.) The entrance to the hotel from the parking garage remains a problem. There are a couple of steep steps without a center handrail (making it difficult for my elderly parents to ascend), and the door handle is directly in the afternoon sun, so the metal handle is usually too hot to the touch. I've actually burned my hand on that door handle. I'm not sure whether I will return to this hotel. I've had reasonably good experiences in the past, but this stay was pretty awful. July 22, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by Lynn99 Needs upgraded air conditioning The air conditioning does not work well in the rooms. I even had it checked by maintenance who commented on how hot the room was but assured me that it was working correctly. July 16, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Dez77 Staff is excellent, great location! Your staff is wonderful! The Gentleman whom works as the Bartender/Server on weeknights in the Lounge was simply amazing. Also, Megan at the front desk and your Shuttle drivers were great as well. One was named Josh and another driver was a very very courteous young man whom took me to my office on a moment's notice. Whomever Manages the staff here does a great job. Thanks for making my stay enjoyable and for modeling customer service excellence! July 12, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Holytoledo7 Most accommodating hotel ever!! I thoroughly enjoyed my stay. Everything was designed for my comfort. Although I had tons of work to do, the hotel staff met every request with a pleasant attitude. I am easy to please but I am the queen of complaining...I had ZERO complaints. Job well done SHERATON CRESCENT!!! July 1, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Sally2 Perfect for families Love this hotel; have been twice in two months. It is a very nice hotel if you have children. The location is really close to Castles/Coasters, they have a water slide on site and the pool is really large. The staff are very helpful and friendly. They have tennis courts, racquetball, a fitness room, Starbucks, and nice shade trees. I was impressed with all you get for the price. It is not a fancy Sheraton but my family loves it! June 26, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by snowquail great service for several years your hotel has hosted a major event that I have attended which included several hundred people. I look forward to your excellent service every year and have never been disappointed. June 10, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by LandShark Appreciate the Great Service Thanks for all the wonderful and cheerful service. Great location and enjoyed the food. June 3, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by Jackie68 VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH OUR STAY!!! when we booked this hotel, the selling point was the water slide and the pool side bar! The slide wasn't connected to the main pool, you had to go to a totally different part of the outside area, and then it wasn't open the entire time they would close it part of the day...WHY? As far as the pool side bar goes, it wasn't open at all!! They shouldn't advertise it if they are not going to have it open..I was very dissatisfied with this whole stay!! We had two rooms for three nights... The prices for their room service and on site food was way way to high as well..We will not bee returning to this hotel... May 28, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Jwhitelaw Much better than most Sheratons Staff is very friendly and accommodating. The fitness center was exceptional! May 28, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by seau59 location is great I truly enjoyed my stay at Sheraton Crescent. My suggestions are: 1) have a shower near the pool area 2) fix the Jacuzzi 3) clean the big pool. May 28, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by FrankB Upgrade battle I arrived around Thanksgiving 2012 and occupancy was extremely low that day. I asked if upgrade is available and was told that I can only be given an enhanced room as suites were sold out. in fact, I checked right before I arrived, the suites were available. The agent said they are all reserved. I contacted SPG and they confirmed that there are suites available and one of them should have been given to me. SPG person contacted front desk on my behalf. After their conversation, hotel person called my room to inform me that suite "suddenly" became available. And then, in fact, she is willing to put me up in presidential suite. Why would you lie outright that you are sold out if it is wide available? The suite was nice with a large but sadly shared balcony. May 13, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by Sherry12 Sheraton Glenndale AZ Not the best room...it had mold in the bath room and the ceiling looked filthy. The first room we moved due to road noise and the curtains were not hung and looked like they were falling down. I would not go back. The pool was never cleaned, leaves floating. May 6, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by jjbm Stained Sheets My family and I stayed at the hotel on 4-27-13 and got into our room late. The next morning we noticed the bed my kids slept in had what looked like blood stains on the sheets, when we told the person at the front desk they acted like it was no big deal. Other than that the hotel was clean. April 29, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by katb90245 Always great service! I have never been disappointed by a Sheraton. This particular hotel exceeded my expectations. The staff was excellent--bar, maid, front desk, waiters. Everyone we encountered was cheerful and helpful. First, the coffee--Starbucks, freshly brewed at each meal and left on the table for me. Next, the food--fabulous salads and burgers for lunch. Dinner at the bar, late at night, I think the kitchen stays open all the time. The dinner was rainbow trout. All great!! April 22, 2013

NASCAR driver Brad Keselowski, a Rochester Hills, Michigan native, is living proof that NASCAR drivers should not be considered athletes. And I don't even care that his basketball skills are worse than my 18-month old's. WATCH HIM RUN! Note: This video (Via The Nosebleeds) is from 2010 at a Charlotte Bobcats game. But I'll go out on a limb and bet that Keselowski still runs like Pheobe Buffay.

By Clay Bennett —
Remember that "very big," potentially game-changing announcement the billionaire business mogul has been touting regarding the presidential race? Well, it's basically more of his Obama birther madness.
Chris Matthews tore into Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus during MSNBC's "Morning Joe" on Monday, getting visibly angry over a recent birth certificate joke made by Mitt Romney and by false claims that President Obama got rid of the welfare work requirement.
After winning laughs joking about the birth certificate controversy at the White House correspondents' dinner earlier this month, President Obama has found a new way to profit from birtherism: comedic T-shirts. (more)
John Cole, Cagle Cartoons, The Scranton Times-Tribune —
This just in: President Obama has proved, yet again, that he is a natural-born citizen of the United States. Which we already knew—"we" meaning those of us who believe there is such a thing as objective reality.
White House
After President Obama released his long-form certificate earlier this week, you'd think that the birther scandal would be finally put to rest. But no … (more)
Taylor Jones, Cagle Cartoons, Politicalcartoons.com —
AP / Jim Cole
The certificate and its release prove two things most people should already know: Obama is an American. And, as Tavis Smiley put it, the 2012 presidential race is shaping up to be "the ugliest, the nastiest, the most divisive, and the most racist in the history of this Republic."
CNN is in some agua caliente with pro-immigration groups after airing a four-hour "Latino in America" documentary—an attempt to woo a Latino audience—while at the same time employing Lou Dobbs, the commentator notorious for his anti-immigration views.
Why this obsession over Obama's birthplace persists is a question that evokes disturbing answers.
On this Tuesday, the 48th anniversary of your birth, we thought we'd remind you that you were born in Honolulu, which is in the United States of America, no matter what those pesky "birthers" have to say about it. Here's a copy of your birth certificate, in case you need one.

If there's been a more clinically insane political phenomenon in my lifetime than the "birthers," I've missed it. Is this what our national discourse has come to? Sheer paranoid fantasy?
By Mike Luckovich —
The "Real Time" host battles the birthers, "the far-right goofballs who claim Obama wasn't really born in Hawaii and therefore the job of president goes to the runner-up, Miss California Carrie Prejean." [Video fixed]

In the late 1900s, many libraries started to expand services for children. With this new development came extra activities and programs for these youngsters.

Recently, I spend two very relaxing weeks on the island of Curacao, located in the southern Caribbean Sea, off the Venezuelan coast. It forms, together with the islands Aruba and Bonaire, the so-called ABC islands. Although it is still part of the Netherlands, Curacao has its own government.
One of my duties at the Mount Pleasant Library is leading the Monday book discussion group. Before this, everything I knew about group interaction I learned and experienced in college and graduate school.

In the fictionalized North Carolina being served up in "Pump Boys and Dinettes," the country music pastiche that's now open for business at Skylight Music Theatre, none of the six characters actually works much.
To be sure, designer Brandon Ribordy has stuffed this really fun, vintage 1950s set - half gas station and half diner - with props suggesting that the four pump boys might actually service cars and the two fun-loving waitresses next door might actually take and fill orders. »Read Full Article(2)

STAGE TUBE: Trailer - HOW DO YOU WRITE A JOE SCHERMANN SONG Premieres in NYC, Nov 1
Tonight, November 1st at 7:30pm at the Landmark Sunshine Cinemas, watch the NYC theatrical premiere of the award-winning movie musical "How Do You Write A Joe Schermann Song"-the film that's been tearing up the festival circuit around the world. This is a special one-night-only event with writer/director Gary King and its amazing cast: Joe Schermann, Christina Rose, Mark DiConzo, Debbie Williams, Daryl Ray Carliles and Jenn Dees. Watch the movie trailer below!
"How Do You Write A Joe Schermann Song" is an original musical that takes a unique look at love, artistic inspiration and relationships through a composer's journey in writing the score to an Off-Broadway show.
When Joe (Joe Schermann) lands an opportunity to write for an Off-Broadway show, he is forced to cast either the love of his life, Evey (Christina Rose) or his newly discovered muse, Summer (Debbie Williams). The realities of show business prove to Joe that writing is easy, living is hard.
At the premiere there will also be a raffle for a chance to win a free poster or CD soundtrack. Tickets must be reserved online via Tugg - if 115 seats are not reserved by October 25th this screening will not take place.
For more about the film, visit joeschermannsong.com or find the project on Facebook.

Sharing files with Linux and Vista
If you want to share files your own way, Vista might need some help.
Windows computers use the SMB protocol for sharing files, and Linux has learned to adapt. But what if you don't want to use SMB? Will Vista adapt to Linux? The answer is yes, but you might have to spend some extra money or bring in extra tools. Despite Microsoft's promise to improve compatibility with standards other than its own, Windows Vista still falls short. Redmond continues to ignore common protocols such as NFS, SSH, and SFTP, and even SMB-based communications between Linux and Vista are fraught with complications. In this article, we explore some of the options for sharing files in Linux and Vista by focusing on three popular protocols: SMB, NFS, and SSH. You'll learn what Vista can do out of the box, and we'll show you how to fill in the gaps.
