3 stars (out of 4)
"You won't encounter anything you haven't trained for," Michael (Ulrich Thomsen) tells his Danish troops right before they deploy in Afghanistan.
In "Brothers," a chilling drama of a fractured family during wartime, director Susanne Bier picks apart such hubris while exploring familiar thematic turf.
Bier, who directed 2002's "Open Hearts," teams with screenwriter Anders Thomas Jensen (who penned that year's "Wilbur Wants to Kill Himself"). Both films, especially "Wilbur," deal with displaced affections when one brother assumes the patriarchal role in the absence of the other.
In "Brothers," Bier expands on this theme, as Michael's wife, Sarah ("Gladiator's" Connie Nielsen), and his brother Jannik ("Open Hearts'" Nikolaj Lie Kaas) grow closer when Michael is missing and presumed dead. Jannik, recently released from jail on a robbery charge, fills the family's black-sheep role and constantly fights with his father.
But when crisis hits, Jannik assumes more responsibility and steps in to finish Sarah's kitchena chance to redeem himself and feel useful to the family. In doing so, he becomes a father figure to Michael's children, preparing birthday gifts for Sarah with them and becoming the play pal their father couldn't.
Meanwhile, Michael wastes away in an enemy prison camp, finding that his training didn't prepare him for everything. Survival at all costs may cost him his soul.
Even though "Brothers" includes Jannik's brief tirade of opposition to the occupation of Afghanistan, the film isn't explicitly political. Director Bier remains more interested in the impact of war on individual characters. "Brothers' " could take place in any time period, really, but the current global political climate gives it a palpable immediacy.
A talented director of ensembles and intimate scenes, Bier again proves herself a powerful, if occasionally overwrought, dramatist. A grainy, Dogma 95-like video stock adds dramatic authenticity to the family's interactions, as if each exchange is being captured rather than staged. With the magnetic, brooding presence of Kaas, Bier is able to maintain dramatic tension with the smallest gestures, as when Jannik and Sarah share a cigarette while talking about Michael.
As a title, "Brothers" might be slightly off, since Michael and Jannik share only a few scenes. While the film's strength lies in an ensemble effort, it's really Sarah and Jannik who provide the film with its most compelling characters, its momentum and, ultimately, its heart.
Directed by Susanne Bier; screenplay by Anders Thomas Jensen; story by Bier and Jensen; cinematography by Morten Søborg; production design Viggo Bentzon; music by Johan Söderqvist; edited by Pernille Bech Christensen; produced by Peter Aalbæk Jensen and Sisse Graum Jørgensen. In Danish with English subtitles. An IFC Films release; opens Friday at Landmark's Century Centre Cinema. Running time: 1:50. MPAA rating: R (for violence, language and brief nudity).
Sarah - Connie Nielsen
Michael - Ulrich Thomsen
Jannik - Nikolaj Lie Kaas
Henning - Bent Mejding

This hotel has nice rooms and a little pool. It is a quit place in busy Seminyak. There is no breakfast, but you have a restaurant with kitchen to your disposal, which gives it a unique charm. Good place to start or end your Bali trip.
Stayed here for 4 nights before flying to Australia, I cannot recommend it highly enough! The price is so low for the quality and service you receive here. The rooms are comfortable, the staff can't do enough for you and the pool is always clean. Seminyak centre is close and Kuta isn't too far either. I would definitely stay here...
I had an amazing stay with my family here, I also love the the Javanese touch :D love the tegel kunci to the bits! The hotel provides communal kitchen where the guest can cook their own meals and they also provide coffee & tea for free!
I write this review as I lay in the comfortable chair while hearing birds singing, the sound of artificial waterfalls and enjoying their green gardens. This place is like a hidden small paradise which is low budget but still giving big pleasure.
The room is small but hommy and clean. It's located just 5 minutes from a sunset point mall...
We stayed at Nyima for a night at Superior Garden View Room. Really like the overall hotel design. Welcoming lobby, spacious green area and swimming pool in the middle of the hotel, as well as lovely room design.
The room cost Rp. 350,000 for a night. Breakfast at additional cost. The room is not big, but really neat and functional!...
I stayed with my friends in the family room. Clean spacious and comfortable beds. They have a nice swimming pool and the area is very calm but at the same time close to a lot of of facilities. The stuff is very friendly and always willing to help you. I would definitely recommend this hotel.
Staff were very friendly and helpful when we arrived. I only stayed for one night to crash in after our flight into Bali and left very early the next morning. Was a comfortable sleep, with very spacious rooms. No complaints at all
I will try to keep it short and simple. Nyima is peaceful, beautifully decorated and well managed. There is a special vibe about this place that is hard to explain. It makes you feel relaxed, loved and totally at home. The smiles of the staff waking up your mornings and welcoming you back at night are the best thing about...
I stayed in the family suite with my two teens. The room is spacious and the beds firm but comfortable. The bathroom could do with modernizing, awkward to use the shower over bath and the shower head kept falling off. The room is tucked away on the second floor with a generous patio area. The gardens are gorgeous and even...
We only stayed for 1 night. We adore the ambience and the calmness of this place.
Really worth the money, esp. if you booked it in advanced through online bookings for a better rate.
What we dislike was the linens/beddings fabric, felt a bit rough. And the shower water pressure/hot water could do better.
But over all, still a charm

The latest news, notes and analysis on the Marquette men's basketball team
Mbakwe staying; Taylor update
Just spoke with freshman forward Trevor Mbakwe, who said he wanted to set the record straight regarding his status at MU.
"I've been reading the papers and they're saying all this stuff about me transferring for family reasons before Coach (Tom Crean) even left," he said. "I just want to let everyone know that isn't true.
"It was news to me. It was a shock. I didn't know where it was coming from, and that's never been an idea in my head."
Mbakwe said he's talked with coach Buzz Williams recently about his role in the future.
"I've had several conversations with Coach Buzz," he said. "He was telling me what he feels I should work on and how this summer is going to be important for me just getting back to being healthy since I really didn't play much this last year because of my knee injury."
Mbakwe estimated his knee is about 85% healed at this point.
"I've been resting since the season's been over," he said. "I haven't been doing much running and jumping, so we're just letting it heal because it wasn't completely healed when I came back. It's doing really good right now."
Mbakwe said he expects to be cleared to resume full workouts sometime in May.
Also, since my last blog post about the Tyshawn Taylor situation, Taylor has spoken to Williams and voiced his desire to be released from his letter of intent.
MU, in turn, has faxed over a release form to St. Anthony's, and all that remains to make the release official at this point is the signature of both Taylor and Taylor's mother.
The situation will likely be resolved at some point later this evening, with both parties finally being able to move on.

Andradite mineral from Dookie Mineralogical Reserve quarry.Image: Frank CoffaSource: Museum Victoria
The higher temperature and pressure exerted on the buried volcanic rocks changed their mineral composition – a process called metamorphism. Super-hot fluids moved through fractures and pores in the rocks, carrying dissolved elements such as calcium, iron, aluminium and boron. When the fluids cooled, minerals such as garnet and axinite crystallised in open spaces in the rocks.
These minerals were discovered in Victoria.

Enid Burns | June 13, 2006 | Comments
Ad spending on the Internet was upgraded while the overall spend expectations came down slightly in a full-year forecast.
U.S. Internet ad spending, excluding search, is expected to increase by 13 percent in 2006, according to a revised full-year forecast released today by TNS Media Intelligence. Earlier estimates had pegged 2006 growth at just 9.1 percent.
The forecast sees growth on the Internet channel moving faster than any other. An earlier forecast placed Hispanic TV just ahead of the Internet. Growth in that channel is now expected to reach 12.9 percent, which is up from an earlier approximation of 10.4 percent growth. While these areas are showing growth, print media including newspaper and B2B magazines are expected to hold at about 19 percent of total ad volume this year.
"I think increased use of the Internet is taking away dollars from traditional media, notably areas like B2B magazines and local newspapers," Steven Fredericks, president and CEO of TNS Media Intelligence told ClickZ News. "It's not surprising to us. We see an increase [on the Internet] that continues to grow into double digits."
Growth on the Internet channel reached 19.4 percent in the first quarter.
Display advertising on the Internet currently accounts for 6.7 percent of total ad spend. That's $10 billion out of the total $150 billion that's spent on advertising. While TNS doesn't track search, Fredericks estimates that search accounts for about 50 percent of total Internet advertising when considering IAB figures.
"If you add search, total Internet advertising is probably 12 to 13 percent [of the total ad spend]," he said.
The Internet continues to be a driver of the increasing ad spend. Spending on advertising overall is expected to amount to 4.9 percent growth for the year, short of the 5.4 percent estimated earlier this year.
"If overall growth for all media is going to be 4.9 percent, and Internet growth is at 13 percent, it's growing faster than the general advertising index. It's going to be borrowing from other media at this point," said Fredericks. "That's causing a shift in how other media is presented, and how to best engage the consumer. Techniques are starting to evolve that lead to more effective use of advertising on the Internet."

This invention relates to the pharmaceutically active compound (1S-cis)-4-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-N-methyl-1-naphthalenamine, known and referred to herein by its generic name sertraline. More particularly, the invention relates to novel forms of sertraline, pharmaceutical compositions thereof and processes for the preparation thereof.
Sertraline has the following structural chemical formula: ##STR1## It is marketed in the form of its hydrochloride, as an antidepressant and anorectic agent.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,536,518 Welch et al., issued Aug. 20, 1985, describes the synthesis and basic activities of the family of compounds including sertraline.
U.S. Pat. No. 5,248,699 Sysko et al., issued Sep. 28, 1993, discloses novel crystalline forms of sertraline hydrochloride, and reports five allegedly novel polymorphic forms, differing from one another in respect of their physical properties, stability, spectral data and methods of preparation. They are designated Form I, Form II, Form III, Form IV and Form V. Following the procedures disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,536,518 is reported to lead to the preparation of the Form II product. The Form I product, however, is reported to have the greatest stability, and to be the most suitable for formulation. It is characterized, inter alia, by exhibiting an X-ray powder diffraction pattern with characteristic peaks expressed in degrees 2θ at approximately 7.1, 12.7, 14.1, 15.3, 15.7, 21.2, 23.4 and 26.3. It is prepared, according to this patent to Sysko et al., by crystallizing sertraline hydrochloride using an organic solvent such as ethyl acetate, over a period of about 3 hours at a temperature from about 20� C. to about 100� C.
We have prepared sertraline hydrochloride Form I, in our laboratory, as well as some other sertraline hydrochloride polymorphs according to the Sysko et al. patent. The sertraline hydrochloride Form I, whilst stable as reported, is extremely insoluble. Its dissolution rate is in fact too slow to provide adequate bioavailability of the active ingredient in pharmaceutical formulations.
Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a novel form of sertraline hydrochloride, with acceptable bioavailability and other required pharmaceutical characteristics.
It is a further object of the invention to provide a process of preparing a novel, pharmaceutically acceptable form of sertraline hydrochloride.
In accordance with the present invention, there is provided a novel polymorph of sertraline hydrochloride, herein designated polymorph T1, which has acceptability stability, but which has enhanced solubility in aqueous fluids and hence much improved bioavailability as compared with Form I sertraline hydrochloride. The novel polymorph T1 exhibits characteristic analytical data which clearly differentiate it from all previously reported forms of sertraline hydrochloride. These include:
a crystalline structure with a unit cell, as determined by X-ray powder diffraction measurements, of the following approximate dimensions:
a=17.142(3) Angstroms;
b=31.154(9) Angstroms;
c=11.968(3) Angstrom
V=6236.6(α) A03.
an X-ray powder diffraction pattern having characteristic, indicative reflections at 14.69 Å, 8.07 Å, 5.44 Å, 3.88 Å and 3.48 Å;
and an infrared absorption spectrum in potassium bromide having characteristic absorption bands expressed in reciprocal centimeters at approximately 2932.2; 2702.2; 1587.1; 1389.1; 1300,9; 1330.1; 1213.7; 1134.4; 1103.1; 1076.7; 1029.3; 957.1; 884.6; 820.7; 776.4; 739.8; 708.5; and 679.2.
The unit cell is defined by the length of the sides of the cell, parameters A, B and C above; by the relative angles of the cell sides, α, β and γ above; and by the volume of the cell, V. Methods of measuring and interpreting x-ray powder diffraction measurements to obtain unit cell dimensions are well known in the art, and are recognized as characterizing the crystalline nature and structure of a product.
The present invention also relates to pharmaceutical compositions comprising an effective amount of the above described novel polymorph T1 of sertraline hydrochloride along with pharmaceutically acceptable carriers. The invention also relates to the use of such compositions of the novel sertraline hydrochloride polymorph T1 in treating conditions such as depression, anxiety-related disorders, obesity and chemical dependency in a human patient, by administering effective amounts of said composition to the patient.
The process by which the novel polymorph T1 is obtained is generally as follows. A slurry or solution of sertraline free base in an organic non-polar solvent such as toluene is treated with a polar solvent such as ethyl acetate, diethyl ether or mixtures thereof, so as to form a solution of the sertraline free base in the polar solvent. A separate batch of the organic solvent is taken and cooled, e.g. to 0�-10� C., and hydrogen chloride gas is passed into it, to prepare a solution which is about 1-10% (w/w) in hydrogen chloride. This is added to the sertraline free base solution slowly, with moderate agitation. The mixture is subjected to moderate agitation, at room temperature over a period of about 8-12 hours. A crystalline solid forms, which is separated by cooling and vacuum filtering, to give the novel polymorph T1 as a white to off-white solid, forming a fine powder on drying.
FIG. 1 is a powder X-ray diffraction pattern of the novel sertraline hydrochloride polymorph T1 according to the present invention, prepared according to Example 1 below;
FIG. 2 is an IR spectrum of the novel sertraline hydrochloride polymorph T1 prepared according to Example 1 below.
FIG. 3 is a solid state NMR spectrum of the novel sertraline hydrochloride polymorph T1 prepared according to Example 1 below.
The preferred process according to the present invention uses ethyl acetate as the polar solvent for the sertraline free base. The process suitably uses a sertraline salt such as sertraline mandelate as the starting material, a salt which is useful in the separation of optical isomers of sertraline. A slurry or solution of this salt in a polar organic solvent such as methanol is prepared, and an aqueous base is added to hydrolyze the salt and form the free sertraline base, under agitation. Then an organic, non-polar solvent such as toluene, followed by water, is added under agitation, to form a two phase mixture with the sertraline free base dissolved in the organic layer. The mixture is suitably filtered before separation of the two liquid phases, and the organic layer is separated. After suitable adjustment of the volume of liquid, e.g. by distillation under reduced pressure, a portion of the polar organic solvent, preferably ethyl acetate, is added and the mixed solution is cooled. A separate solution of hydrogen chloride in the polar solvent, such as ethyl acetate, is prepared and cooled, and added to the sertraline free base solution under agitation. The amount of hydrogen chloride is best adjusted to be approximately stoichiometric with respect to the sertraline free base. The novel polymorph of sertraline hydrochloride gradually forms as a crystalline solid over an extended period of time, approximately 10 hours under mild agitation, with the temperature being maintained in the approximate range 20�-25� C. The product is separated by cooling followed by vacuum filtration, to obtain a fine white-to-off white filter cake. The filter cake may be dried in vacuo at temperatures of 60�-65� C. to obtain the final product as a fine white-to-off white powder.
The dosage rates and dosage formulations of the sertraline hydrochloride polymorph T1 of the present invention are substantially similar to those proposed and used for previously known sertraline hydrochloride forms, except that advantage can be taken of the greater solubility and bioavailability of the T1 polymorph of the present invention to prepare less concentrated dosage forms and administer smaller quantities to patients. For use in treating depression or anorexia, the dosage form may be oral or parenteral, and the daily dosage rate is normally in the range of 0.1-10 mg per kg body weight. It may be administered alone or in a formulation with pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. It can be in the form of orally administrable tablets, capsules or lozenges or the like, along with carriers and excipients such as calcium carbonate, calcium phosphate, sodium citrate, starch, PVP, sucrose, etc., in accordance with known practice.
The invention is further described and illustrated in the following specific example.
A 1-liter 3-necked round bottomed flask, equipped with a mechanical stirrer, thermometer, and addition funnel, was purged with nitrogen. A nitrogen atmosphere was maintained throughout the reaction. To the flask was added 60.0 g of cis-(1S,4S)-N-methyl-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-1-naphthalenamine, R-(-)-mandelic acid salt (sertraline mandelate), and 180 ml of methanol. The mixture was agitated, while warming to 35�-40� C. A white slurry of volume 210 ml, was obtained.
To the above batch, while maintaining a temperature of 35�-40� C., there was added dropwise 5.7 g of sodium hydroxide dissolved in 5.7 ml water. The addition time was 1-3 minutes, to obtain a batch volume of about 225 ml, of a white slurry--colourless solution. This batch was agitated for 1 hour, at the 35�-40� C. temperature, and a colourless solution obtained.
To this solution, at the same temperature, there was added 180 ml of toluene followed by 300 ml of water, and this mixture was agitated for 15 minutes and cooled to 20�-25� C. All solids were thereby dissolved.
To the solution obtained as above, there was added 1.2 g of activated charcoal (Darco KB), 5.0 g of filtration aid (Celite), and 60 ml of toluene, and the mixture was agitated at 20�-25� C. for about 30 minutes. Then it was vacuum filtered through 15.0 g of Celite. The flask and filter cake were washed with 60 ml of toluene. The filtrate had a volume of 810 ml, and the appearance of two liquid phases.
The aqueous layer was separated, at room temperature. The organic layer was washed with water.
The toluene phase was distilled at reduced pressure using a water aspirator, until the batch volume was about 130-150 ml, i.e. about half of the initial volume. The organic solution was warmed, under moderate agitation, to about 60� C., and 600 ml of ethyl acetate was added, followed by cooling of the mixed solution to 20�-25� C.
In a separate, 250 ml 3-necked round bottom flask, equipped with a magnetic stirrer and under a nitrogen atmosphere, there was charged 120 ml of ethyl acetate, cooled to 0�-10� C., and then, maintaining the temperature below 10� C., 5.7 g of hydrogen chloride was bubbled into the solution. The resulting HCL/ethyl acetate solution is 5.0% (w/w). The total equivalents of hydrogen chloride is 1.2 equivalents with respect to the starting sertraline mandelate. This hydrogen chloride/ethyl acetate solution was maintained at a temperature below 10� C. until use in the step below.
The hydrogen chloride/ethyl acetate solution was added to the mixed toluene/ethyl acetate solution of sertraline free base, over a period of 15-30 minutes, maintaining the mixture at 20�-25� C. with moderate agitation. A slightly green, very thick gel began to form immediately upon acidification. This material then gradually formed a crystalline solid over approximately 10 hours. A temperature of 20�-25� C. was maintained with moderate agitation for the 10 hour period. The suspension was then cooled to a temperature of 0�-5� C. and agitated for a further period of 2 hours. The suspension was vacuum filtered through a Buchner funnel. The filter cake and flask were rinsed with two aliquots of 30 ml ethyl acetate, and cooled to 0.5� C. The wet filter cake was dried in vacuo at an oven temperature of 60�-65� C., for about 20 hours, to obtain a dry cake weighing 39-41 g (87-92%), with the appearance of a fine white powder.
The product was subjected to x-ray crystallographic analysis, IR analysis and NMR analysis, using standard techniques well known in the art. FIG. 1 of the accompanying drawings is the powder x-ray diffraction pattern obtained (using copper x-ray source).

FIG. 2 of the accompanying drawings shows the IR spectrum of the product produced according to this Example, prepared in potassium bromide pellets. It shows the following characteristic absorption bands, expressed in reciprocal centimeters: 2932.2; 2702.2; 1587.1; 1389.1; 1300,9; 1330.1; 1213.7; 1134.4; 1103.1; 1076.7; 1029.3; 957.1; 884.6; 820.7; 776.4; 739.8; 708.5; and 679.2.
FIG. 3 shows the NMR spectrum of the product. Solid-state 13 C NMR spectra were obtained on a Bruker AX-250, 250 MHZ spectrometer, using high power proton decoupling and cross-polarization with magic-angle spinning at approximately 5 KHZ. The magic-angle was adjusted using the Br signal of KBr by detecting the side bands as described by Frye and Maciel (J. Mag. Res., 1982, 48, 125). Approximately 300 mg of sample packed into a canister-design rotor was used for the experiment. The chemical shifts were referenced to external tetrakis (trimethylsilyl) silane (methyl signal at 3.50 ppm).
The characteristic signals are as follows: ppm: 23.4, 24.3, 27.6, 30.3, 31.6, 46.5, 47.3, 48.6, and 55.3.

Love the image but for me it would be one of the best uploads i have seen recently of the snow. BUT the darkening of the sky and leaving the light ring around the tree spoils this image no end unfortunatly. Hope you dont mind me saying but you have the makings of an excellent and multipul award winning image spoilt by post processing.

Could be that your haste to get this on site has affected your processing my friend, I'd start again and do some careful work on this image, it deserves it. You took a chance on the ice here, so have another go on the computer. I see Tommy (uggyy) was there as well.
All the best Guy I look forward to another version of this,

Vrs two for me, you pushed the HDR too far on the 1st one and hallowed the tree.
You need to lay back on the strength a little and try and balance it more in photomatix (even if the image looks flatter than it should be) before you post process in PS.

Convenient locationPosted Oct 9, 2015
Pros: Close to shops and restaurants
Cons: Restaurant food was so so.
Location: Shopping, dining, and sightseeing.
My husband and I had a wonderful stay. The pool and hot tub were very relaxing and the staff was very helpful.

Great location to the Pike's Market, which we lovePosted Oct 8, 2015
Pros: Accommodations, location to attractions.
Cons: We had a room with a bathtub and I think a handrail would be most helpful for those taking a shower and having to get in and out of the tub.
Location: Took a cab to Pike's Market, walking distance to most restaurants. Space Needle.
We were in Seattle for a wedding. The accommodations were excellent and the staff couldn't be more helpful. I do want to recommend one staff member in the Urbane Coffee Market. I had left my credit card on the desk by the computer and Christine was kind enough to leave me a message in my room that she had the card. I am very, very grateful to her. Gives us more confidence in mankind and their honesty. Also your assistant manager that night was very helpful and did his best to locate the card. Whew!! We also enjoyed having breakfast in the Urbane Restaurant. Very good food, and so much more healthier than other hotels.

Nice hotel in downtown SeattlePosted Oct 7, 2015
The room was huge!!! Some of the furniture looked old, the paint was peeling off; which is a bit odd considering that the hotel is very modern and it seems new. Other than that, it is a really nice hotel! Its location is excellent!

Amazing!Posted Oct 5, 2015
We walked into our room (1167), as did our guests, and we were blown away! Biggest room that I've ever been in and it was more than what either of us expected. The room was clean, the sauna/gym was awesome and the front desk (Brandlon I believe) was extremely pleasant. We wished we could've stayed longer after getting in the room!

ロケーションが最高 女性にお勧めなホテルPosted Sep 28, 2015
Pros: ロケーション
Cons: 日本語を話すスタッフがいれば尚よい。 ホテルインフォメーションも最後までは日本語に対応してない。
Location: ダウンタウンの中ならどこに行くのにも便利 治安も思っていたほど悪くない。
シアトルのダウンタウンに宿泊するなら本当にお勧めのホテルです。パイクプレイスマーケットやノードストローム、メイシーズなどのデパートやウエストレイクセンターなど、ホテルからすぐに行けるので、ショッピングが好きな女性には大変便利だと思います。、metroやモノレールの駅も5分くらいです。 ホテルは大きくはありませんが、部屋はゆったりとして清潔感があり、5泊しましたが、快適にすごせました。 ただ、部屋にバスタブがなかったこと、利用できるスパの設備にも使いにくい点(ロッカーに鍵がない等)があり、残念でした。ホテルのスタッフは親切で感じが良かったと思います。

Very convenient locationPosted Sep 21, 2015
I was able to walk everywhere with no issues at all! The only downside of this hotel is that there is no free parking.. You can valet it for $45 a night Or Go to the public parking lot across the street and pay $25 a night

Always wanted to stay here and feel pampered !Posted Sep 17, 2015
Pros: Everything was absolutely perfect.
Cons: Cant get better than the way it is!
Location: easy access to a lot of cool places. I loved renting a bike and touring Stanley Park.
Lovely hotel with all the amenities a person needs to feel like royalty. Staff and clerks were amazing as were the taxi service. Loved the Pool and spa areas the best.

Wonder hotel in Downtown Seattle.Posted Sep 14, 2015
Pros: Large room, comfortable bed, and a clean and very nice bathroom.
Location: Very close to Pikes Market, Hard Rock cafe, Argosy's Cruises, Ferris wheel. Not far to Pier 91 where the Large Cruise Ships arrive and depart.
We had great room service. The conceirge was very good at helping us plan a fun day. The young man who helped us with our luggage both on arrival and departure was kind and considerate. Overall, a great place to stay.

TOLEDO - Environmental experts from Ohio led a public forum Tuesday night on Lake Erie??s potentially harmful algae blooms. The panel gathered at the University of Toledo to discuss how the crisis happened in the first place and what can be done to prevent it from happening again.
Lake Erie researcher Dr. Carol Stepien started the forum by displaying a sample collected Monday afternoon. She??s the director of the UT Lake Erie Research Center.
??I think it??s putrid. It looks horrible,?? she said of the sample. ??It looks like pea green soup.??
Stepien says the potentially harmful algae feeds on nutrients??including phosphorus??that enter the lake from farm runoff and sewage treatment plants.
COMPLETE COVERAGE: Toledo Water Crisis
The discussion was streamed live on the University??s YouTube page, and the panel fielded questions that contained the hashtag #ToledoAlgae.
They also took questions from audience members in the auditorium. One of the questions came from Lyman Welch??the Water Quality Program Director at the Alliance of the Great Lakes.
He asked when people can expect decision makers and leaders to take action to address the problem in Lake Erie. Welch says lawmakers should explore ways to reduce the presence of phosphorus in the lake.
That??s a question that??s been on Dr. Stepien??s mind as well.
??I think they need to be talking about it tonight and tomorrow,?? she said.
The panel consisted of experts not just from the University of Toledo but from Bowling Green State University as well.
