Author's Note: Sgt. Philip Allan Dodson, Jr., of Forsyth, was killed in Iraq on Dec. 2, 2005. The 4-year anniversary of his death is Wednesday. He was a member of the 148th Forward Support Battalion of the Georgia Army National Guard's 48th Brigade that has been deployed overseas several times over the past years.
Dear Phil:
You died just four years ago. But it seems like a lifetime has passed since that tragic Humvee wreck on that hot, Iraqi day.
Your family received notice of your death on Dec. 5, 2005, setting off a chain of community response that was unprecedented since World War II. I had no direct relationship with your family at that time, but I remember vividly the announcements and news coverage of your homecoming and funeral.
You probably would have been embarrassed by all of the attention and accolades that were given to you and your family then, but something about your death touched a nerve in this community that continues to resonate.
I think, in some way, that your death served to reawaken the spirit of patriotism and respect for our troops that had been missing for too many years. Your remembrance among folks in Monroe County continues strong to this day.
My involvement with your family came via my son's marriage to your daughter, Allison, in 2008. Your daughter has become the mother of my first grandson since that time. I regret that you never will get to hold Joseph Allan Thompson, but take my word for it -- he is a real cutie and a fine young man to continue your legacy.
I was honored to have my name linked with yours in his naming, and I know that you would be as proud of him as I am. Allison says he is as stubborn as his daddy and Granddaddy Dodson combined!
I wish I could talk to you occasionally about being enough of a grandfather for the both of us. That is, perhaps, the hardest part of this family situation, having to be a grandfather to Joey and a fill-in father for Allison. Your family has been supportive of Allison, Daniel and Joey during these ensuing years, but I find myself constantly comparing my actions for them with "what would Phil have done?" questions.
You set a pretty high mark with your daughter, and I am challenged every day to reach that.
I am trying to make sure that your memory is strong in Joey's mind as he grows up without knowing who you really were. I want you to be more than a photo, or digital file, when your grandson talks about his family in school. I want you to be a name that means something throughout the year to your grandson and not just on the day that you died.
That is the real tragedy of war -- the death of a loved one who will exist in memory only, as a point in time, without a chance to mold and shape your children and grandchildren throughout your life.
Four years is such a short time, but it really has been a lifetime for your family. They have started over in creating their own lives without you, and in bringing new life into this world.
It is very satisfying to me to see your memory preserved by those who loved you the most. I cannot begin to understand the loss they had in 2005, but I can understand the tremendous responsibility that I feel in preserving the memory of your life, service and sacrifice for this country.
The date of your death hardly is a time of celebration, but I feel like celebrating that life has continued and flourished for your family. I will be forever grateful that I have the opportunity to be part of your extended family.
By the way, you will have another grandchild to welcome into this world in the spring. I hope to help that child learn and appreciate your ultimate sacrifice for freedom.

Herbal Essences Hello Hydration 2-in-1 Moisturizing Hair Shampoo & Conditioner10.1 oz. | Cleanser, Daily Conditioner
Product UPC: 381519019227
see all Herbal Essences products
(Rated 3/5 based on 2 reviews) Login to add your review
I thought by using Herbal Essence's Hello Hydration Conditioner Orchid and Coconut Milk and how soft it made my hair that the shampoo and conditioner will be the same way, however it's not. I was looking forward to the hydration and softness of this product but it's not there. I'm still going to use it though. -4C
I first tried this when I straightened my hair constantly about 3 years ago. I just wanted to find something moisturizing for my hair, and didn't want to spend extra money to buy a shampoo and a conditioner, so I got the 2 in 1. All of the Herbal Essences products smell wonderful, and this one had a kind of beachy scent. It did, however dry my hair, which was most likely partly to do with my constant heat usage, and I wasn't moisturizing or anything in between. I wouldn't get this again because of the sulfates and silicones that I now recognize, but it does the job of cleansing the hair with a touch of moisture. I wouldn't really recommend this to any other curlies.

I have to admit, I will be curious to see if Martin sticks around solo. Most of the reactions to his stuff on here has been about like the ones here, and none of his solo stuff has a higher rating than 3 stars out of 5 on Amazon.
I can say that it does sell.
Myself, I thought that the novel was decent. Problems with characterization and writing style, but interesting plot ideas and structures.
I'd give it a 7 out of 10.

The Nature of Intelligence: The IQ Controversy in Cross-Cultural Perspective
As argued in the previous chapter, radical environmentalism is the most attractive response to the variability of test scores not only from one country to another, but also in the same country and within what appears to be the same culture. The purpose of this chapter is to consider the factors that determine the intelligence test scores of individuals and groups, and to reflect on whether these variations arise because of real differences in intelligence, or if they are artifacts of the tests themselves.
The chapter begins by considering the principle argument that is marshaled against environmentalist optimism. This is the nativist view, which holds that only some 40% (perhaps as little as 20%) of each individual's intelligence is shaped by the environment, with the remaining 60% to 80% genetically determined and therefore immutable. The often raucous debate between environmentalists and nativists ( Herrnstein ∧ Murray, 1994) has become known as the IQ controversy, and it is reviewed here not in its own right, but because it brings to a sharp focus the issues that emerge from the long history of psychological assessment in culturally different settings.
The IQ controversy thus serves as an introductory frame for this long and quite complex review. Thereafter, I have organized the discussion around the two major current paradigms of cognitive assessment: the psychometric and the information-processing paradigms. Two other measurement methods, both subcategories of the information-processing paradigm, are also important to this discussion: the piagetian paradigm (used here without a capital letter to indicate a class of intellectual operation derived from Jean Piaget's genetic epistemology), and potential assessment, which has since the 1920s seemed to offer the best alternative to the psychometric

Share with others:
Federal agents today said they seized more than half-a-million dollars' worth of counterfeit merchandise at the Rogers, Ohio, flea market on July 25.
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement said agents raided more than a dozen vendors at the Rogers Community Auction and seized thousands of knock-off items, including pro football jerseys, batteries, electronics and mobile phone accessories.
All were being sold as designer merchandise but were imitation, ICE said.
The raid was part of a nationwide effort by law enforcement to crack down on counterfeit goods.

Mark is the host of "The Mark Reardon Show" and "Total Information PM" on KMOX from 2 – 6 p.m. every weekday. A Chicago native, he moved to St. Louis in 1979 and quickly became a Cardinals fan for life after the 1982 World Series. He started in radio when he was just 15 years old and his answer to the most important question in St. Louis is: Parkway West class of 1983.
After graduating from the University of Missouri School of Journalism, Mark spent the following 10 years in radio and television in Columbia, Missouri. His other radio gigs include stops at the former KSD-AM in St. Louis, WTMJ in Milwaukee and WGN in Chicago. He is a film fanatic and has been a long time film critic. Mark is a member of the Broadcast Film Critics Association (BFCA) and his reviews are heard on KMOX, BXR radio in Columbia, Missouri and "Great Day St. Louis" on KMOV channel 4. He's also a member of the Broadcast Journalist Television Association (BJTA).

The fuse which controls my dashboard lights, gas gauge and heat gauge as well as my turn signals keeps blowing out whenever I start my car? I have replaced the fuse twice, but whenever I start my car, about 1 second after I hear an audible click and the fuse goes out, none of my other fuses are effected by this.

What if you just turn the key to the run position without starting it?
Will the fuse still pop?ALso do you have a test light?
The fuse still goes even if I just turn the key to run, and I do not have a test light.

Your going to need a test light I was going to have you check and see if you had a dead short to that fuse.
U need a wiring diagram for that circut. So u can trace this short. Unplug everything and see where the shorted componant or wire is at. This is where u start. Ty for using 2carpros

Definition: [n] the apparent surface of the imaginary sphere on which celestial bodies appear to be projected Synonyms: celestial sphere, empyrean, firmament, heavens, sphere, welkin See Also: apex, apex of the sun's way, celestial point, nadir, solar apex, surface, zenith, zodiac
Imagine the sky as a great, hollow, sphere surrounding the Earth. The stars are attached to this sphere---some bigger and brighter than others---which rotates around the stationary Earth roughly every 24 hours. Alternatively, you can imagine the stars as holes in the sphere and the light from the heavens beyond the sphere shines through those holes. This imaginary sphere is called the celestial sphere, and has a very large radius so that no part of the Earth is significantly closer to any given star than any other part. Therefore, the sky always looks like a great sphere centered on your position. The celestial sphere (and, therefore, the stars) appears to move westward---stars rise in the east and set in the west.
Even though it is now known that this ancient model of a stationary Earth is incorrect, you can still use this model because it is a convenient way to predict the motions of the stars and planets relative to a location on the Earth. A star's apparent brightness is actually determined by its distance, as well as, its physical size and temperature. It is also now known that the stars apparent motion around us is due to the Earth rotating once every 24 hours on its axis. The stars are stationary and the Earth rotates from west to east. This rotational motion makes the stars appear to move from east to west around us. The celestial sphere model is used by planetaria to simulate the night sky.

Ensuring safety of your children begins with you
- From: The Daily Telegraph
- January 04, 2013
SUMMER means different things to different people. Importantly, it should mean being able to spend time with family and friends. It is a time for travel, for enjoying the outdoors, for riding bikes and swimming in pools, rivers and at the beach.
Like many of my colleagues I have been on call at the Children's Hospital at Westmead over the Christmas period and when you work there you see the reality of the statistics on injury and death.
When I was younger, I thought my father worried excessively about my safety. We used to joke about it. Now with children of my own and seeing first-hand the terrible results of childhood injury, I know he was right to worry.
In the road safety ads in which I appear I ask you if you would prefer to die or suffer a terrible injury or arrive five minutes late. In the first year this NSW government/Australian Medical Association NSW campaign ran, we had the lowest state road toll since 1926.A similar question could be asked of anyone engaging in a risky activity. For example, would you rather:
A) Leave your large inflatable pool filled and unfenced and risk letting your toddler drown? or
B) Fence your large inflatable pool and remove one more risk that could ruin you and your child's life?
AMA NSW has been working with the state government and the Children's Hospital at Westmead's inflatable pool safety working group to raise awareness and change laws to keep kids safe. Last year we helped launch the Kids Can Drown Without A Sound campaign.Hopefully, in future years when the NSW Child Death Review team writes its reports, it won't find that nearly a third of children who drowned did so in backyard pools, as was the case in 2011.
Here's another question. Would you rather:
A) Risk letting your child be hurt by falling through the flimsy flyscreen on your above ground level window? or
B) Get an easy-to-install safety device that limits how far windows open and removes one more risk that could ruin you and your child's life?
Flyscreens won't stop a child from falling out of a window. Between 1998 and 2008, 20 per cent of children injured in falls from windows fell through the flyscreen.
The importance of the quiet and diligent work of my colleagues through education and regulation is evident in the results. Childhood injuries have markedly declined over the past 10 years.
A less popular campaign of ours involves trying to cut back the obesity levels in Australia. We don't want to prohibit eating junk food from time to time, what we want is for people to stop eating unhealthily over the long term and living unhealthy lifestyles.
Everyone knows being obesity increases the risk of serious chronic and life-ending disease. Groups such as the AMA advocate for the health and safety of the public, we provide balance to marketing that drives unhealthy habits. It is part of our core business and we would be derelict if we did not do so.
Brian Owler is a neurosurgeon and NSW president of the AMA

In conjunction with the League of American Bicyclists Women Bike program, Momentum Mag has put together an infographic that highlights 10 common myths about women cycling.
Recently, the League of American Bicyclists released a first-of-its-kind report showcasing a trend seen on streets nationwide: Women are changing the face of bicycling, and bicycling is transforming the lives of women.
Women on a Roll – a product of the League's Women Bike program – compiles more than 100 original and trusted sources of data to showcase the growth and potential of female bicyclists in the United States.
"Increasingly, advocacy groups and industry leaders are recognizing the gender gap as a clear – and critical – limitation to growing the bike movement and the market," said Carolyn Szczepanski, the League's Director of Communications and Women Bike. "This report puts hard data behind that imperative – and reveals what's working in getting more women on bikes and where there is clear opportunity to increase female leadership and participation."
In conjunction with the League, Momentum Mag has put together an infographic that highlights 10 common myths about women cycling.
Download a large and printable PDF of the infographic here: 10 Myths About Women & Cycling
You are doing a great job, but your great stuff could reach even further if you improved accessibility to the texts. E.g. offer also a text-version / subtitles of the infographic. Works better for a lot of people in different settings, as well as for search engines and archiving ( web.archive.org etc )
Thanks for this infographic reference. (And yea, I'm one of Chamberlain's noted many women cyclist bloggers….I think there were some men in her list which I haven't figured out…. http://cyclewriteblog.wordpress.com )

Troy Davis, a Georgia prisoner on death row, has been denied a new trial in the murder case against him.
CNN reports that a three-judge panel rejected Troy's application for a new trial by a vote of 2-1.
Troy was convicted in 1991 of murder for allegedly killing an off-duty Savannah, Georgia cop, Mark MacPhail. He's always insisted that he's innocent of the crime, and seven out of nine witnesses against him have taken back their testimony. On top of that, another man has supposedly confessed to Mark's murder.
Witnesses to the killing had said that Troy and two other men were bothering a homeless man at a Burger King when Mark stepped in to help. They claim that Troy then shot Mark twice and ran off. However, there's no evidence connecting him to the shooting death.
Unfortunately, appeals judges said that none of those factors prove Troy's innocence. "When we view all of this evidence as a whole, we cannot honestly say that Davis can establish by clear and convincing evidence that a jury would not have found him guilty of [Mark's] murder," the court wrote.
"We are also unpersuaded by Davis' suggestion that his claim of innocence has not been and never will be heard," the court stated. "As the record shows, both the state trial court and the Supreme Court of Georgia have painstakingly reviewed, and rejected, Davis' claim of innocence."
Although Troy's request for another trial was turned down, the panel did extend his stay of execution by 30 days. This allows him to file another petition for a new trial with the U.S. Supreme Court.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|Yesterday 07:14 AM
|I'm curious about your choice of lacquer on what appears to be the exhaust pipe. I don't think lacquer is going to like the heat. What's your thinking?
my son and I popped the door off and swapped the hinges and it made all the differences, I did stamp the hinges for P and D , but forgot to stamp a top and bottom mark.
if you look closely you can see the difference in the two halves of the same hinge
the one on the left has a slight twist in it
and the alignment with out us trying to do anything to improve it.
goal for this weekend is to have all fenders on......so i need to wrap up some loose ends
so lets paint the end caps and while i am at it the hand crank
it was strange i wiped down the hand crank with lacquer thinner to see it had been painted with some thing else over the last 50 years and no lacquer paint color came off, which is usually a sign it has some other paint on it....lacquer paint is temperamental this way and it prefers to only go over lacquer or a good primer sealer ..so i sanded/scuffed it primed it then used a primer sealer and took a chance i wouldn't have a paint incompatibility issue
it doesn't look like i have any issues with paint incompatibility on the hand crank. i am pleasantly surprised.
boot prop rod installed
boot installed...you can tighten the bolts from the inside, so aligning is easier
final buffing
I may be able to close this up some more
how I finally did the split rivets
a shaft for under the rivets held in the vise
busy day today...
painted boot prop rod black
my son and I made end caps, mine will be removable for inspection purposes, I also made my internal inner sill supports be parallel to the frame so you can look from one end to the other. still need to be painted
tried my hand at making a rivet split tool....I am not sure I was successful....
these are a PITA to do.....this will be done during the week one panel at time with a brewski
polished the car for the last time
lets get the doors on
I am not going to sand the rocker sill to much scuffing so I am going to leave all the clear coat on it
lets buff it before the door rough fit
i had to break out the 3" DA tonight just too many small spots that interfere with buffing
its really good for the small curved areas
and I now know why the one side of the top pillar posts are pushed down.....its the only way to buff that angle
I also got one complete polishing in with the softest pad....just need to repeat it one more time to make sure I didn't miss anything then the doors go on.
I am glad it helps, hopefully this thread will help others tackle some projects they were scared of...
the goal is to finish the out side of the body buffing so I can put the doors and fenders on
so after all the work sanding and buffing the car had great reflectivity but that was only about 60% of where we can go....look at the first pictures closely, the dull areas were present in those pictures with the great reflectivity. so the idea is to bring those up to the same level of the shiney spots. great terminology....
so 3 hours tonight with the DA, this is a Harbor Freight DA for $45. I have an expensive Griots Garage DA but I wanted to try the inexpensive one and let it do all the hard work and save my good one for the easy polishing jobs.
so tonight #84 with orange hard cutting pad, 2 passes , #84 with the white light cutting pad 2 passes, and #83 with yellow buffing pad. tomorrow night will finish it with the #82 swirl remover with a finishing pad. I am sure the professional compress this time but since I do this not as regularly as them I just go slower so I don't screw up the work I have done
its the haziness under the window and to the right of the window
and after buffing and polishing
same spot after the work
I was contemplating a colour change on my ride. But, seeing the extent of your excellent work I think I won't do it. The number of panels to do it right are more than what I want to do on my daily driver.
What is really valuable to me is your description of applying your clear coat. It fills out my understanding and I think I'll have a better finish for having read your descriptions. Thank you
so it occurred to me once the body polishing is done I could put the doors and fenders on.....but not until I paint the door hinges and spacers, I cleaned them last week so they are ready to get primed and painted, used self etching primer
its a 65* night and humidity is within tolerances
base coat
clear coat
the Caddy option
I know that the 215 ci Old engine is the classic, however if room allows, the aluminum block Cadillac 4.9L is another good choice. They come at 200 hp out of the box at 275 ftlbs and I am using one with a HEI dizzy and a Holley 600 carb and it is well north of 200 hp. I dyno'd it with a 2 barrel at 215 but with the bigger carb it is higher again. You might want to look at it due to the weight factor vs power, and it runs real good on regular gas. This one is in a Fiero
|That s looking Great.makes me want to get started on my MGB I want a 215 Olds v8 aluminum engine in it , but I have to do the 55 chevy first
5 hours today.....what can I do in 5 hours
well 3 passes with 1200 fresh pad, 3 passes with 1200 used pad, 3 passes with 1500, and 4 passes with 2000 all wet just the top side of the body
then with a rotary buffer 1 pass with #85 wool pad, 1 pass #85 maroon foam pad, 1 pass #85 yellow , 1 pass #84 blue foam pad, 1 pass #83 black pad, 1 pass #82 white pad
it looks good I need to do the polishing phase again. this next time will be with a DA. look for the reflection of the house or garage. I am 80% where I want to be.
I got to work on the car this afternoon , and did the final polishing on the fenders. one of the front fenders has a little more orange peel in it then i would like, but I am going to ignore it until everything is mounted on the car. I have lots of clear on the car and I can sand it and buff it again at any time. once its mounted and I can see the orange peel everywhere else it will lead me to what I have to do. what I am looking for is a uniformity of appearance . the panels are shiny as can be even with the slight orange peel so the glossiness isn't a problem. you can see the plastic on the seat in the reflection
this is a little cheat sheet I made up to help me remember the color of the foam pads and the order in which you use them, as many of you I have a bunch of different foam pads and the color is not universal, so this is my notes so I don't have to try to remember the order of operation...kind of .reminds me when my youngest school kid asked me about the order of operation of Mathematics and I said left to right......then when the rest of my other kids stopped laughing they informed that left to right was important but that wasn't all of it...needless to say they don't ask me for help with their calculus
now on to the buffing and polishing the body
So after all your buffing on the front fenders you then took to them with the wet & dry.
That must have been a tough call.
Given the work you've put in you will be glad you made the extra effort.
I think you've done a great job and should be proud of the end result as you did start with a pig's ear!

Rated 3 out of 5 by Bajawaller Should've been better No room upgrade (3rd straight Platinum year) even when my coworker got one. No towels in room until second request. July 17, 2012
Rated 1 out of 5 by JasonPHL The Staff Needs Work I was actually very disappointed given this was my first stay at a W Hotel. Around 2AM I brought take out back to my room and realized that the vendor did not include utensils with my order. I took the elevator down to the lobby to grab a set of utensils from the restaurant when the front desk stopped me and offered to send a set to my room. I said "okay" and waited in my room for 30 minutes without anyone showing up, finally frustrated I went down to the lobby and grabbed a set of utensils from the restaurant. Oh, and when I made the hotel manager aware of the situation, he did NOTHING. Only offered his apologies. July 17, 2012
Rated 2 out of 5 by Pepe Expected more from a W I am a Gold SPG and was disappointed by the overall experience. Location is good, and the small room is totally understandable (hey, this is NY!), food was good, but service really needs improvement. No SPG recognition, Wi-Fi is horrible (you have signal only if you stay close to the door, and had to spend 30 mins with an assistant as I couldn't log in), and service is poor. Expect 10-15 minutes before front desk answers your call, and housekeeping is sloppy (I found a rubber glove laying on my sink returning from work... had to call 3 times and wait 40 mins before someone picked it up). I've been to many SPG hotels and expected much more from the W in New York. July 16, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Spiritark Excellent service Excellent service from all the staff at W Times Square, starting from the doorman all the way to the chambermaids. The welcome chocolates from the manager and the upgrade to a Fantastic Suite in lieu of my half-month stay was very welcoming. I really appreciated the recognition of the Platinum status here. The room had a decent view of one side of Times Square. Probably a decent pick for those with families and for NYC first-timers. July 15, 2012
Rated 2 out of 5 by Russ1962 Rude Staff I know check-in is 3pm, but many business travelers arrive prior to that time, and many hotel chains accommodate their needs early. My company is a large customer, and we've got early check-in services with other major hotel chains. When I arrived at noon, I was told I'd have a room in one hour. No big deal. At one hour, I checked at the desk, and the person there told me check-in was 3pm. Ok, I get that, but I was told it would be one hour. I mentioned that to the man at the desk, and his response was "check-in is 3pm". Rude. I went back and waited... at 2pm I asked again, and the new person at the desk said "sure, your room has been ready". I asked why they didn't call me, as they said they would when they asked me for my phone number. Strange. Poor coordination. Day of check out... knocking on my door at 8am by the cleaning staff. I mentioned I would be working from my room until check-out at noon. 9am-ish.. another knock on the door. Same deal, cleaning staff wanted to know when I would be leaving. At 10:30, someone started to enter my room. I stopped them, it was cleaning staff once again. Very poor customer service situation. Room was tiny, and no where to set up an ironing board, and no where to plug in an iron. Not even enough room to move around the bed with the desk chair under the desk. Very crammed. Overall bad experience for a seasoned business traveler. July 14, 2012
Rated 1 out of 5 by ASZG2012 Horrible, horrible staff I had my wedding in New York in June, and had the worst experience with the W. First of all, we paid for a Spectacular room, and got the smallest Spectacular ever. The W gave complimentary upgrades to three other groups in our party - (from a Cozy to wonderful, and two Cozys to Spectaculars) - and the Spectaculars they gave the other two groups were almost twice the size of mine - and I was the bride! We demanded that they change our room (it was too tiny to have a bride and her bridesmaids help her get ready in), and they told us they had no other bigger spectacular rooms available -which was a lie because my sister got a complimentary upgrade to a spectacular almost twice the size of mine. The manager, Trevor, was incredibly rude in dealing with this room situation - didn't care that I was the bride getting married the next day, and that I had brought all this business to their establishment. After demanding it, they finally grudgingly agreed to reduce the rate that we were paying - but it was ridiculous that we had to fight with them for an hour to get this. Of course the next day, we found out that the rate had NOT been reduced...my now husband had to call and call the entire morning to try to get a hold of Trevor or a manager to get them to adjust - they were completely unresponsive, or were deliberately avoiding us altogether. Eventually we got the rate adjusted but it took so much to get them to honor what they agreed to do. So ridiculous. I also booked two complimentary cars for the day of the wedding to take us to the venue - then come to find out on the day of, they lost the reservations. Perfect...considering I had just booked it the day before. My husband is a Gold SPG member, and we were incredibly disappointed by how rude the staff is - how unaccomodating, especially to a bride and groom (when they upgraded three other rooms and wouldn't upgrade us is an absolute outrage). The staff is horrible. July 9, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Bonny Excellant Staff We recently stayed at this hotel to celebrate an anniversary and two 60th birthdays. David, of the whenever/whatever staff went way over the top in being the most gracious host and ensuring that we had absolutley everything we needed to make this a memorable vacation. Thank you, thank you, thank you David. You are amazing and quite an asset to this hotel!! July 3, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by JPG1 Always Stellar! I have been to this hotel quite a bit and always it has been fantastic. Your front desk staff specifically Sami goes out of their way to ensure you are completely satisfied. See you again soon. June 29, 2012
Rated 2 out of 5 by OhioGirl W Should Improve Existing Hotels Instead of Expanding Starting with the front desk experience I should have known it wouldn't get any better. The woman who checked us in had a total attitude and was not about to meet any special requests or accommodations. When we got to our room the scent of perfume/deodorizer was so overwhelming that my husband and I instantly developed headaches. The only solution the front desk had was to send up an ionizer and told us to leave our room for an hour. The next day we informed the staff not to spray any perfume/deodorizer and we left a note for the cleaning staff. We returned to our room to find it equally as bad as the previous day. The towels were frayed and dingy in color. The room was simple in a cheap way. We also were supposed to have a queen bed and we were given a double. Considering the expense of this hotel, it did not meet my expectations. June 27, 2012
Rated 3 out of 5 by MrBig Small room, a lot of improvement needed I'm SPG Platinum. When checked in, I was told I got 2-level upgrade. I had a high floor preference. I was put in 6 FL. When I got in my room, I was really surprised. The room was REALLY REALLY small. I can't imagine without 2-level upgrade, what the room would look like. And I had a view of a big "rock" (a building was a few feet from my window). Okay, I was on business, small room, no view was not a problem. But the first night, I was woke up by air condition at 4am!! I called Whenever/Wherever for help, and I was asked if I want someone to come in my room to fix it. It was 4am, I wanted more sleep! The next morning, I called, and was offered to move to another room. I was told to pack my stuff and hotel staff would move for me around 12-1pm. I came back at 6pm, checking with front desk for my new room number. It took front desk 10+ minutes to get me a new room -- no one had moved for me! This is not the kind of facility and service I would expect from W New York! June 26, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by Dave24 Great hotel for an overnight stay I stayed at the W Lexington overnight for an early meeting the next day. The rooms are not big but have everything you need for a comfortable stay. The staff was professional and welcoming. My only tip for those who are in a rush in the morning... leave extra time the elevators take forever when there is a rush. June 24, 2012
Rated 2 out of 5 by VSundar12 Disappointing for a Category 6 hotel I travel to New York for business every week and have been systematically going to each Starwood property to find which hotel will best suit my long term needs. The W New York unfortunately does not seem to fit. I checked in on a Friday night with my wife for a weekend stay. I called in earlier and Friday and the staff was great. They found my reservation and went ahead and secured my upgrade to a fantastic suite. The recognition of status and the courtesy of securing the upgrade over the phone were greatly appreciated. I was told my room would be available at 4pm. Upon arriving around 4:30pm I was told my room was not available, but that wasn't a big issue as they gave me gym access in the interim. When I finally check into our room around 6pm, the disappointment began. The room was not properly cleaned. The fantastic suite size, layout, and furnishing were sub-par compared to similar suites at the W Times Square. Still it was a free upgrade so I did not have any grounds to complain (except for the cleanliness, which I let pass). The shower drain was clogged and the shower flooded, thus I called maintenance Friday evening to get it resolved. They said they would send someone up. I left and came back a couple of hours later with my wife who used the same shower and told me it was clogged still. I went down to the front desk and asked in person to have it resolved. The next morning we find that the drain was still clogged as the bathroom started flooding. This time I went to speak with a manager (Tim or Tom) and he was extremely apologetic. He offered free breakfast/drinks which I turned down as that wasn't my objective. Within an hour someone came to fix the issue. It is sad that at a category 6 property it takes 3 requests and an interaction with manager to get a service call addressed. That being said I am appreciative of the manager's responsiveness and professionalism. Beyond the service issue the property itself leaves much to be desired. Within our suite you can hear the plumbing of our neighboring room. The noise is so loud it wakes you up. Add that to the fact that the building itself does not insulate street noise well at all. Obviously these are issues the staff can't compensate for, but still should be noted. Upon check out I expressed my disappointment to the front desk they apologized and offered me 5000 points for my inconvenience (which I haven't seen yet). Overall I felt that for a hotel that is designated a Category 6 hotel, that it did not meet up to the expectation. June 24, 2012
Rated 2 out of 5 by Lee23 Checked in and checked out Room smelt like mildew, entire facility dusty not clean. Upkeep and maintenance poor. Understaffed at front desk with long wait times. Check in at 11:00pm Friday and Checked out 11:30pm Friday. Not what you would expect from a W hotel. June 24, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by felix12 Executive Floor Management Jess, who was managing the 16th and 17th floors during my recent stay, was extremely proactive in dealing with a noisy cooling problem. Rooms were changed immediately and I was provided with an upgrade so that I could focus. Thanks to efforts like these, I continue to prefer this hotel when traveling to New York for business. June 23, 2012
Rated 2 out of 5 by AJ27 They gave my suite away... I recently used a suite award night to book a room for my parents who were visiting NY for Father's Day. I recieved a confirmation a week before the visit that I would be upgraded. When i got to the hotel to check in, I was given a suite, however when I walked into the room, someone's stuff was already in there! They gave my award away! The staff was friendly and after about 20 minutes, they gave me another room, but it was a regular room - no upgrade, nothing. I was so disappointed because this was a special weekend for my parents. Not only did the entire check-in process take over 30 min (hey, time is precious) but I wasn't given what I reserved or what I was told I would receive. Poor inventory management and a terrible experience. i will give credit to the staff at the front desk - it was their fault and they couldn't do much but they seemed sorry. June 20, 2012
Rated 1 out of 5 by Deb24 Dirty room We arrived at the hotel at check-in time and were told our room wasn't ready. Several hours later, we were told the room was ready and given our key. When we entered the room, the bed wasn't made and there were dirty sheets on the desk. The floor needed to be vacuumed. I will not be returning to this hotel next time I visit NYC. June 19, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Tommy894 personal attention at its best !!!! I recently stayed at the W NYC Extreme WOW suite and had some specific requests to be carried out for a marriage proposal. The whatever whenever staff (David and Renee) went above and beyond for me. they showed such close attention to small details and provided such a personalized service that it made us feel like royalty. I am a "W" guest for life because of them. food was out of this world. chef made things not on the menu just for us. Renee is a God Sent. the work she did put tears to my fiancee for an over the top experience. Thank you for a memory of a life time. June 14, 2012
Rated 3 out of 5 by BJJ53 Fancy design which is very unpractical I will first list the positives: The Bed was great, the bathroom adequate,the porch fantastic. The staff did their best but were limited and response time from maintenence or housekeeping was poor. The noise in the Lobby due to the Bar and music makes talking to the front desk sometimes comical as you have to yell. There is no storage in the room besides a tiny closet with a small shelf. I stayed 9 nights and had to live all over the room with my clothing. Ridiculous. The fancy living room is so cluttered with furniture you end up bumping into it all the time. There was just no where to place my empty suitcases but in the middle of the room. The couches are cute but unpractical. It is nice to have the extra suite room but with the crazy modern design you cannot have a functional meeting in the room. I ordered a fridge after trying to use the minibar and was automatically charged it's whole contants (front desk was nice enough to trust me and credit me). I had to put the fridge under the desk as there was no place else (cluttered room) hence could not work at desk. Room service is ridiculous. I ordered one day a bowl of oatmeal and 2 glasses of orange juice for Breakfast and was charged $46 !!!! Internet speed (both wired and WIFI) is ridiculously slow. it took sometimes 8 hours to download a movie. I extended my reservation prior to arrival by 2 days. This created 2 reservations on the system which for some reason they could not be combined on the computer. I therefore spent over 25 wasted minutes checking out from my first reservation and checking in again. How stupid as I did not change rooms. The front desk kept apologizing and were very nice about it but could do nothing. Lastly the elevators are so slowly and old. Being on the 18th floor meant an endless slow elevator ride every time. June 13, 2012
Rated 3 out of 5 by mcmc Too small for too much money the hotel is conveniently located. the restaurant staff is very friendly, most of them have been working there for years. the rooms are very small. difficult to get a nice upgrade. cleanliness of the bathroom floor and shower is not great. June 12, 2012
Rated 1 out of 5 by dissatisfiedplatinum Anything That Can Possibly Go Wrong, Does, at W New York Our strange W 'harrowing experience' started from the rude 'awakening' from the the door/bell man who marred our arrival at the door, reception who was indifferent in informing that there is no platinum upgrade, provided with a room containing kitchen 'odor', served with moldy cheese cake that was not removed after repeated requests even when checking out 7 nights later to being billed for mini bar items not consumed including for a non existing roll away bed! the proactive management team was notified and even though apologies were extended, all these should not have happened! being the FIRST W in new york and influenced by some good reviews earlier, its evident that the inconsistency of the ground team have benchmarked W new york to the LAST W in anyone's list if they experienced what we did. definitely thumbs down! June 10, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by simplicurious Great Hotel and Service We arrived earlier and we were fortunate enough to get an upgrade and have the room earlier. The service was excellent and we had an enjoyable stay and time in New York. I was impressed with the service at the W on Lexington. I will definitely stay again! June 6, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Friend I love this W from the time that I pulled up to the entrance EVERY staff member, from the valet, guest service staff and concierge were fantastic. This was my first Stay and will not be my last. Thank you for staying true to the brand. June 5, 2012
Rated 3 out of 5 by Scott57 Ceiling in room fell down I had a mixed stay this past time. A portion of the celing in my room fell down during my first night and luckily it did not strike the bed. But really - at this level of standard should the maintenance be so questionable that the ceiling is falling in? On the plus side the staff was excellent, especially Marian at the fornt desk - they moved me to a new room immediately and were vey helpful. So my problem is that I can highly recommend the staff but watch out for the ceiling June 5, 2012
Rated 1 out of 5 by citydweller Absolutely filthy room!! BE WARNED - Stay far away from this W. It is not like any other. It has been several years since I have stayed at the W on Lexington. It has always been one of my favorites- well- at least until this last stay. I was truly shocked and disgusted by the condition of my room. All 4 of my drinking glasses and ice bucket were filthy. I could feel the dirt in the glasses when I ran my finger along the inside bottom of the glass. Additionally, the tray the glasses and bucket were sitting on was covered with dust and 2 curly hairs (GROSS!!!). When I reported this to the "whatever/whenever" desk they immediately brought clean glasses up to me. When the employee arrived with the glasses I asked him to come in so I could show him the multiple stains on the carpet, numerous black marks on all of the walls and a place on the corner of one wall where a chunk of the sheetrock was missing. He seemed very surprised by the condition and told me he would make the manager aware of the situation and to expect a phone call following up. However, I never received a call from anyone. Later that evening I began sneezing and my eyes began to tear up. That's when I discovered the multiple inches of dust built up on the top of the TV and inside the cabinet containing the mini fridge, in addition to the top of the refreshment center (yes- the same place where they are trying to sell you food was covered in dust). I want to stress that the amount of dust in these areas was not an amount that would have accumulated over a couple of days or even a couple of weeks. I venture to say it had been a couple of months since anyone from housekeeping touched these areas in the room. HONESTLY, NEVER IN MY 20+ YEARS OF STAYING IN HOTELS HAVE I EVER ENCOUNTERED A ROOM THIS FILTHY!!! Unfortunately, the list goes on and on. The fabric on the desk chair was ripped on both front corners with the padding on one of the corners completely exposed. The bathroom was beyond disgusting. The shower tile was mildewed and most of the grout for the floor tiles was black from who knows how long without a good scrubbing. The bathroom door molding was yellow- not from age but from dirt. I know this because I soaped up a bath cloth and wiped it down to reveal its true white color. I have no idea when the last time this room was adequately cleaned or when any member of the W Staff had inspected it for routine maintenance. I dare say it had been quite some time. SHAME ON THE GM FOR NOT KEEPING A MORE WATCHFUL EYE ON HIS PROPERTY AND ALSO SHAME ON THE MANAGEMENT TEAM FOR NEVER FOLLOWING UP WITH ME ESPECIALLY WHEN THE COMPLAINT WAS RELATED TO THE CONDITION OF THE ROOM! I took many pictures of the issues I have referenced in my review. I will be providing similar reviews with my pictures to substantiate my complaints on every online travel website that includes reviews and travel blog I can find. Hopefully, my actions will help others make an informed choice and prevent them from having the experience I did with this property. I also plan to lodge a formal complaint with SPG so Corporate is aware of the damage this hotel is doing to the otherwise sterling reputation of the W Hotel Chain. Run from this W- there are so many better hotels (SPG and otherwise) in NYC. June 1, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by NYCdudeInVa My MOST Favorite property Although I arrived earlier than expected, and even though the property was "sold out" the night before, Michael assisted with me obtaining, much needed rest, immediately. The room was exceptional. THANK YOU MICHAEL! I've visited this property many times over the past few years and this trip noticed there were MANY, MANY new faces receiving guests. With this, it was REALLY good to see a FEW familiar faces and to be "recognized." I LOVE the W New York!! TTS I WILL say though, that NOT being afforded FREE "WiFi" in each room, is NOT the BEST way to follow through with your "Whatever, Whenever" theme. Even though it is offered in the "Living Room" guests don't always want to come downstairs to log on to the internet. ESPECIALLY at 3am! Apart from that, good times!! June 1, 2012
Rated 2 out of 5 by SFOAAP Fantastic Suite. Noisy! We were there for 4 nts to attend a conference in the city this past Memorial Day weekend. We had just stayed at the brand new W in Hong Kong and were wowed! by that experience. Even bought some W bedding after that stay. For the W New York, we had a Fantastic Suite on the 7th floor overlooking 49th and Lexington and were impressed by the size of the room. We were not impressed by the outside noise that made it in thru the windows. Cars honking, people yelling, sometimes as late as 3am on a Saturday night. I was shocked how much noise came thru. It was as if we didn't have windows. I was also not impressed with the room AC as it was an individual unit built into the walls by the window. One in the bedroom, one in the living room. Noisy!! They reminded me of the motel rooms of my youth where you had a big, noisy AC unit hanging out the window. Also, there were heating pipes of some sort behind a metal mesh in the bathroom. The bathroom was separated from the bedroom by a flimsy sliding door that had no seal. So warm air is coming into the bedroom making the AC run all night trying to maintain a cooler temp. Crazy! The room also looked beat up with a huge slice of peeling paint in the living room and water stains on several areas of the ceiling. I couldn't help but try and figure out which hotel was here before. No luck, We got a great price for this part of town, but I would not stay at this property again. It was a big let down after having experienced the best in HKG. I like the W brand, but not this property. May 31, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 AWESOME Whatever/Whenever was an awesome motto....thank you for the upgrade (i heart my junior suite super......). one minor issue is that sometimes the card key to the lift is not working you have to insert it several times but everything was truly fabulous...i am glad that i stayed & chose W to spend my 30th Birthday as well as Memorial Day weekend....Perfect by the way the BLISS product are truly the best specially the shampoo and conditioner...i am actually hoarding that product at this very moment. I should have asked you guys to give me more sample....Thanks again May 31, 2012

Rated 4 out of 5 by john813 Nice hotel Overall this hotel was nice. Lobby had a great atmosphere. When checking in associate was very friendly and even called once we got to our room to make sure everything was ok. The room itself was smaller than what I was used to even for a hotel in NY. The room felt old with just an updated paint job. Bathroom felt even smaller, felt as if i was in the shower while going to the bathroom. Shower curtain is too short and water always leaked onto bathroom floor. As part of our reservation we where suposed to recieve two sip cards which we never recieved. These may seem like little things to some, but for the cost to spend the night in NYC everything counts. If I did decide to come back to the W I would do it for their customer service and maybe try to get a larger room. May 29, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by hendrix0316 Excellent location Despite the relatively small rooms, I like like this W property. The location is excellent for my purposes....and Equinox is on a few blocks away. May 28, 2012
