Rated 3 out of 5 by lm2012 Too many private parties The hotel has a very nice location. The Waterfall terrace looked nice - but, unfortunately it was closed for a private party at lunchtime, and another private party following that - so I couldn't use it. The pool looked nice - but it was closed for a private party in the afternoon when I tried to use it. December 5, 2012

Rated 3 out of 5 by superdad Hotel cleaness was not good Got into the SPG floor room, and the toilet seat was not clean. I was able to get a new room from another floor, and found out the drink glasses were dirty. I was disappointed. Thank you, November 28, 2012

Rated 4 out of 5 by bseg48 Large room with view We were upgraded to a corner room on the 15th floor. Extra large room with a great view. Our only problem was that the Internet connection for our room was not working. We were offered another room, but since we were already unpacked and settled in we declined. Everything else was great. November 14, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by mimi49 Great location. Excellent hotel. This hotel is across a courtyard from the Orange County Performing Arts Center and a pedestrian bridge away from a huge and upscale shopping mall. In other words, perfect location. I love the hotel's decor and the bed is super comfy. Staff is friendly and professional. November 14, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by kenny888 costa mesa's gem excellent hotel with a bridge connecting to south coast plaza. all the staffs are superb and very professional. they treat you very well from the moment you enter the parking garage to the time you check out. you also get first class valet parking service.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Tsvet Great location This was my second stay at Westin South Coast and it was as good as the first one. While the first one was to attend a wedding, the second time it was a business trip. And it was just as enjoyable. From the valet parking to check in, staff was extremely pleasant and helpful. The room on the 13th floor was quiet and spotless. I enjoyed the extra coffee bags next to the machine. Looking forward to my next visit. October 31, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by jeanne2 Wireless internet It will be good when this hotel chain finally gets with the program regarding internet. Not all guests are business travelers, and it is ridiculous to have to pay for internet. I have not stayed here for a couple years and yet the food in the bar is exactly the same...needs some updating. Staff is great October 31, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by jenjen24 I felt right at home at this hotel Every employee was polite and helpful. My room was immaculate and comfortable. I loved having Starbucks right downstairs in the morning and my dinner from room service was very good. My view of the pool was beautiful and I would reccomend this hotel to friends and family. October 29, 2012
Rated 3 out of 5 by 1SouthernBiscuit Overhead Pool View was Magnificent!! Let me first start by saying that I would have given more stars, but in my honest opinion, some areas did not deserve high ratings. 1) Upon arrival, I had to wait along with other Lawyers, Physicians, etc. because our rooms weren't ready. I had arrive at the hotel at approximately 6pm. The front desk staff did not have the ability to handle some of the "Irate" staff the were staying. They were not able to console, or offer any type of sympathy. 2) I arrived to my room and unpacked my luggage. I decided to take a Hot relaxing bath only to find that, the toilet had someone elses urine in it., the bathtub had hairs still in the bottom. So I thought, "Do I complain and have to sit and wait for another room to be cleaned, or do I take care of it myself? I took care of it myself. October 29, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Kazzie Exceptional staff, food and caring We planned four meetings held at the hotel over three days. Everything was terrific. What a wonderful experience for the meeting planner, the speakers and the attendees. Everyone was on their game which made everything perfect for us. Thank you! October 28, 2012

Rated 5 out of 5 by Richard21 This hotel has great people Everyone was so nice and tried to help me in any way possible. AS I entered the hotel, the door was opened for me. The people at the front desk were very pleasent. Even the people who served the food had a smile on their face when they served me. the people is what makes this hotel a pleasure. October 14, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by Traveler54 Great location. The hotel was beautifully decorated with flowers and greens and a waterfall. Very relaxing especially with those incredible beds. The walking bridge to the Mall was so convienent. October 11, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by JeffsJeanie Pleasantly Surprised I was hesitant upon booking this room because some of the previous reviews. I am glad I went with my gut. Our overall stay was really nice and the staff was on top of everything! They were friendly and professional. Room was clean! View of the city lights was magical and we slept great in the beds. Hotel grounds are a sight, mall walking distance and Italian dining at Maggiano's . Thank you Westin! October 10, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by travelermom Closest hotel to best shops Perfect location, excellent and attentive staff, super clean, very safe October 10, 2012
Rated 3 out of 5 by Kd2012 Hotel door too short The hotel staff is great, but the room door needs silencing materials to cover the two inch gap at the bottom of the door. Room 724 I think it was. Unfortunately I could hear every single guest go down the hall. And even though i checked in @9pm in the evening---many other guests checked in after! Love showtime channel for free! Also would be nice to have an available plug by the bed, not just the desk. Perhaps a sign to remind guests to be mindful of others sleeping would help but most of all --need to get door length corrected ---it was a long , loud night. October 10, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by JoeMac21 Reservation # 415425275 (i) Was not made aware that the property allowed pets. (ii) I self parked in the adjacent parking structure - rate $10. The front desk informed me that I could have the parking cost added to me bill and a new exit ticket would be given to me upon checkout. I was not informed that the cost would now be $20. Only became aware when the bill was received. October 10, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by DesertTraveler Nice location Westin is famous for comfortable beds and linens. The fitness center is exceptional also. This location allows one to walk to many nice restaurants. The one area where it is not competitive is in WiFi charges. October 9, 2012

Rated 5 out of 5 by Ofttraveler Staff was extremely professional All staff members provided excellent and friendly service. September 26, 2012
Rated 2 out of 5 by Edger Poor planning Having a wedding reception with a very loud band going on until 11:00 is not very good planning - we could not sleep because the bass level was sooooooooo loud - even after they supposedly turned it down. A very poor finish to a good stay. September 26, 2012

Hiv Breastmilk in food
Dec 20, 2008
Can you get HIV from someone who has used there breastmilk to make food with and to pass out to your co-workers. It is not a hot food but a room temp one. I am freaking out I ate one! Please help? It was some middle eastern dish with like a applesauce but brown with cinammon topped with coconuts, raisains, walnuts, and cashews.
Response from Dr. Frascino
Cinnamon applesauce (yummy) topped with coconut (yummy), raisins (yummy), walnuts (yummy), cashews (yummy) and breast milk (ICK!!!!!)??? WHAT??? Dude, I don't care how "organic" your coworker may be. I really don't think her recipe called for breast milk. Your HIV risk is nonexistent, but your imagination is alive, well and most likely overactive.

Whipsawed by the government's on-again, off-again intervention in the nation's financial crisis, House Minority Whip Roy Blunt (R-Mo.) said Wednesday that congressional Republicans "don't feel like they understand the coherent strategy" of the Bush administration -- "if there is one."
Republicans are upset with the White House on two fronts.
First, they say that administration officials haven't done enough to keep them in the loop on its plans for addressing the crisis.
Second, they don't much like the plans.

Most Helpful
Hearty and wonderful tasting! I used water instead of chicken stock to make this vegetarian, and used green bell peppers and dried rosemary and basil, since that's all I had on hand. I crushed the dried herbs before adding them to the chowder, which really causes the flavours to burst out beautifully! I will definitely make this again; thanks Braunda!
Overall, good recipe. A little thick for me so I added extra water. Also, a little light on flavor so I ended up adding some curry powder which made it excellent. Overall, will be making again. Thanks!!
This recipe is a keeper. It's quick to make (I used frozen corn), is nice and creamy without the cream, and tastes wonderful. Thanks!

Michael Harward, UAB MBA '14 shares his story
With an engineering degree from Duke University, Michael was interested in an MBA to help refine and develop skills that would allow him to "pursue his interest in helping an organization develop a vision and think through how to get there".
Living in Birmingham with his wife, who was already pursuing another master's program, practically guaranteed him at least a couple of years in the Magic City. He began evaluating different options. "I decided that pursuing an MBA in person (rather than an online program) would provide a much more valuable experience," says Michael. "Also, UAB's superior academic reputation as compared to other local peers drew me to UAB's MBA program."
Michael was connected to his current employer, SCA (Surgical Care Affiliates), through the MBA program and now after only 1.5 years is in a leadership position within the Financial Operations department. "The MBA program prepared me to engage with senior leadership within the company, create innovative solutions that contribute to our group's strategy, and manage my team effectively," says Michael. "Also, I feel capable of thriving within a large company or leading as a part of a start-up. My ability to evaluate the soundness of a business plan or idea separates me from many of my peers."
How was Michael's experience in UAB's MBA program?
"The program does an extraordinary job connecting students to the current business environment," says Michael. "The latest trends, developments, and events of today's business world were almost constantly discussed in the classroom. Plus, the program provided excellent networking opportunities."

Did You Know? The Pierre Hotel New York
March 30, 2015
By: Five Star Alliance
The Pierre Hotel New York opened in 1930 at a prime site at the corner of Fifth Avenue at 61st Street, commanding unrestricted views of Central Park. Many consider the signature room of this iconic hotel to be the rotunda. The Rotunda's famous tromp l'oeil murals were created in 1967 by American artist Edward Melcarth (1914 -1973). It was his intention to bring the style and spirit of the Renaissance paintings into the present.
In the mural scenes, classic mythological figures like Neptune and Venus are intermingled with a woman with young children who resembles Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, as well as a man in a Nehru jacket, a clothing style popular in the 1960s. Other mythological figures, such as the River Gods and Minerva, share space with a young Adam & Eve (Adam was posed for by actor Erik Estrada in his younger days) and the painter's cat, Sasha. Several of the figures were modeled on people from New York society and some of the artist's patrons and benefactors. Melcarth also sculpted the male and female heads above the entrances to The Rotunda and the restaurant.

March 16, 2015
By: Five Star Alliance
Hotel Crillon le Brave calls itself a "village hotel." The many buildings which make
up the hotel date back to the 17th and 18th centuries although the village traces its
history to the Roman era two thousand years ago. Like in many Provencal hill villages,
each new generation constructed its homes on the ruins of its ancestors so that the
buildings that exist today have foundations and cellars that date back hundreds of years.
Most of the main eight buildings that make up the hotel today were once family dwellings
but some had other uses as well. In most cases, the hotel has kept the names of the
previous inhabitants to help retain its connection to the village, its people, and its historic roots.

Building a web service filesystem with SOAP and Fuse
The Fuse kernel module lets developers implement even the most idiosyncratic of filesystems. We'll show you how to build a filesystem that relies on SOAP to publish data over web services.
Most Linux users have had some experience with the legacy Network File System (NFS). NFS relies on executing remote procedure calls (RPCs) to give a local machine access to remote data. Unfortunately, RPCs can cause trouble in modern IT landscapes, especially in the interoperability field. For example, RPCs are normally blocked by firewalls, and the procedural programming techniques associated with RPCs aren't state of the art. Web service technology appears to be the natural successor to RPCs. Web services are object oriented and rely on open standards such as XML. Web services are also typically based on HTTP, and firewalls don't try to block them.

Recurring Role
Fartor's real name is Larry.
First appearance of Fartor.
Ty: I don't have a creative bone in my body. And I've got the X-rays to prove it.
Director: A giant robot. I'm doomed! I mean, the city is doomed!
Abby: Time for a little snooping.
Ty: Grossology style?
Abby: You read my mind.
Ty: It was a fast read. (Abby hits him with a plate of macaroni and cheese) I deserved that.
Abby: Lemme guess... art project time?
Ty: I thought if I approached it from an analytical point of view, I might come up with a good idea.
Abby: Maybe you've analyzed it too much. Art is about letting go, too! Just relax and let it hit you.
(Ty and Abby come across Paige and a cute boy, who suddenly farts)
Paige: Eew! Totally... gross!
Abby: Relax, it's perfectly natural.
Ty: Besides, girls fart just as much as boys do!
Paige: Not this girl! (farts loudly and blushes in embarrassment)
Abby (after Ty loses his camera in the Flatchup) Later, Spiel-turd!
(Abby and Ty notice that everyone at school is farting)
Abby: Either we missed breakfast burrito day or... (getting her communicator) Director, it looks like we're facing an omega-class flatulence epidemic!
Fartor: You win this time, but next time I will be silent but deadly!
Ty: Need a lift?
Abby: Wait a minute, you had a jet pack?
Abby: Less art and more running for our lives, okay?
Ty: (to the chef) Drop the spatula!
(Ty emits a fart bubble while submerged in the flatchup)
Abby: Gross. Ty, this isn't the bathtub.
The French in Quebec refused to air this episode intact, reasoning that the image of a child being stuffed under a blanket and farted upon would traumatize viewers. The French version is heavily edited, using reuse shots to cover these horrific fartings.
The word "Fartzilla" is a combination of "fart" with "Godzilla", the famous giant monster from a series of Japanese films.

"I went in to read for this, and I was literally the loudest Asian girl," Kelly Hu says about getting the role of Stacy in the Disney XD series "Phineas and Ferb." The "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" actress joked that when casting Asian characters in animated shows, you must cast Asian performers, adding that the whole reason she got the role was because none of the other Asian voice actresses who auditioned could get suitably angry.
Hu was joined by Dee Bradley Baker who voices Perry the Platypus who revealed the curious process of voice "acting" a platypus that neither talks nor emotes, while character designer Greg Guler tells stories about developing "Gargoyles" for Disney during this Denver Comic Con panel.
"At the time, 'Batman: The Animated Series' was very hot," Guler tells the audience, saying that the popularity of the show inspired Disney to have their own dark TV show. They sent Guler away with the broad concept that they wanted something moody with bat wings and he came back with several concepts which Disney ultimately disassembled and reassembled into a final character design they were satisfied with.
Similarly, with "Phineas and Ferb," Guler was recruited by series creators Dan Povenmire and Jeff "Swampy" Marsh to broadly mock up the characters from the show. Guler joked that Disney executives weren't happy with the triangular initial designs. To this day, he's surprised at some of the color choices that Povenmire and Marsh's art team went with for the characters (he was surprised to find that Perry ended up being blue in the final animation).
He says that "Phineas and Ferb" is a "heavy" series where a single episode might have multiple costume changes or maybe involve 80 characters.
When asked about her favorite song from the series, Hu complained that she couldn't sing, while Greg Guler told the assembled audience that the creative team behind the series has an embarrassment of musical talent including its creators, who have been known to take up a guitar and just jam with the production staff while developing the many songs peppered throughout the series.
When asked about the Marvel Comics crossover, "Mission Marvel," Guler says that the many of the animators on the "Phineas and Ferb" team were ecstatic to be working with characters from the House of Ideas. Guler says personally, he was disappointed that their team couldn't get access to more characters from the Marvel U–the special features Spider-Man, Iron Man, Thor, Red Skull, M.O.D.O.K., Whiplash, and Venom. Likewise, he's not sure if the voice actors who've been playing the characters in the most recent incarnation of the Marvel animated U will be available for "Mission Marvel," although he adds that the four-parter, which airs this fall, is still in production.
That doesn't seem to be the only element of the production in flux: in the initial announcement for the special, Disney touted Jeff Marsh's redesigns of the Marvel characters so that they would better fit into the world of Danville. Guler added that they couldn't quite get the sign-off to completely redesign the Marvel characters to match the angular look of the "Phineas and Ferb" cast, but they were able to reach some kind of halfway point.
You can check out the trailer for "Phineas and Ferb: Mission Marvel" below.

DS was sleeping really well around 15 months. We put him in his crib around 7:15, in his sleepsack without any toys or pacifier (after a bedtime routine), he fell asleep, and he slept till about 5. Then we went in and gave him a pacifier and he went back to sleep until about 6-6:30.
Over the last few months he started waking earlier and earlier, and more and more often. Now he wakes up several times a night, we have to give him his pacifier around 10, and usually have to give him a second one at some point once he's lost the first one. I don't know what to do. It seems so cruel to just let him cry and not respond, but we need to do something - we're exhausted, plus we're expecting a second baby and we can't manage 2 babies waking up every couple hours! Any tips? What have you done with your toddlers? (Our little guy has become more emotional lately, and the pacifier really helps him calm down, so he's using it much more during the day than he used to. I'm not sure if that's part of it. But if we try not giving it to him during the day, he's just upset all day.)

This invention relates to eye shields directed to the protection of the eyes from irritating and/or harmful substances such as may be carried in the air from spraying; more particularly it relates to an eye shield directed to protecting the eyes from hair spray without interfering with hair styling.
Heretofore, persons doing their own hair styling with the help of hair spray products have found that not only can these sprays cause eye irritation and risk of harm but they may cause damage to contact lenses. Being able to observe the progress of the styling continuously is very important in seeing exactly how the hair is going to be finished, yet without special protection this can only be done at considerable risk of getting hair spray in the eyes.
There is presently no satisfactory solution to this frustrating dilemma: closing the eyes interferes with proper control over the styling, using one hand as a shield is disadvantageous since both hands need to be free to style and spray, enlisting the aid of another person is seldom feasible, and known eye protective devices either fail to provide adequate protection or else interfere excessively with the hair styling.
A safety goggle disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 3,505,680 granted to Ernest A. Ring, Apr. 4, 1970, securely surrounds the wearer's eyes, however the mounting of such a safety goggle around the wearer's head completely restricts the wearer's ability to finish a hair style and would also disturb a possibly finished hair style when attempting to dismount the goggle from around the back of the wearer's head.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,944,312 issued to B. Stewart Smith, Jul. 31, 1990 discloses a disposable face shield which completely covers the wearer's face, yet it too mounts around the back of the wearer's head in a manner similar to that of the aforementioned patent by Ring, inhibiting the ability to style hair properly and completely.
The protective eyewear in U.S. Pat. No. 4,868,930 granted to Joshua Blackstone, Sep. 26, 1989 fails to completely envelope the eyes and is likely to allow intrusion of spray at the open bottom perimeter of the shield device, thus failing to provide adequate eye protection.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,033,364 granted to Margaret Inzana and Joann Terrett, Jul. 5, 1977 shows an eye make-up shield resembling a small cup with a straight handle protruding perpendicularly out from the open end of the cup. This shield utilizes one hand as means for mounting, eliminating the ability to style and spray the hair with both hands. The protection of only one eye also fails to satisfy the present requirements.
A face shield currently marketed as "Patent Pending" by Bentron Products Corporation, Houston, Texas is directed to a form of eye protection but fails to provide visibility due to an opaque shield which covers the entire face. The face shield is held in place by one hand by means of a handle attached at the base of the shield, eliminating the user's ability to style and spray with both hands.
It is a primary object of the present invention to provide effective protection for the eyes from undesirable airborne substances, particularly potentially harmful or irritating substances such as hair spray, while allowing uninhibited vision.
It is a further object to allow free use of both hands while utilizing the protective device, e.g. for styling and spraying hair.
It is another object of the invention to provide a cosmetically appealing eye shield while providing efficient protection for the eyes from harmful and undesirable airborne substances.
A still further object is to provide an eye shield including mounting apparatus enabling uninterrupted styling on an entire head of head of hair while providing efficient protection for the eyes from harmful and undesirable airborne substances.
The abovementioned objects have been met in the present invention of an eye shield having a transparent lens (window) portion fitted with a resilient peripheral seal forming a wall surrounding the eyes and conforming to facial contours so as to effectively protect the eyes from exposure to airborne substances. The shield is fitted with side arms which go over the ears and hold it in place without interfering with hair styling. Thus a wearer using hair spray to style her or his own hair is enabled view the styling continuously in a mirror without risk of eye damage or irritation from stray hair spray while having full use of both hands for spraying and styling.
The realization of the above and other objects of the invention and further advantages thereof will be best understood from the following detailed description taken along with the accompanying drawings wherein:
FIG. 1 is a perspective side view of the eye shield of the present invention.
FIG. 2 is a perspective view illustrating the manner in which the eye shield of FIG. 1 is worn by a person utilizing the invention.
FIG. 1 shows a perspective side view of a preferred embodiment of the eye shield of present invention, of which the main window portion is a transparent lens 10 made from a suitable plastic such as polycarbonate. A seal 12 made from compliant material such as plastic foam is adhesively affixed to a peripheral region of lens 10, forming a wall extending continuously around the peripheral region of lens 10.
At each of the outer edges of lens 10, an arm 14 is pivotedly attached by a pin 16 of a hinge 18 which is configured to enable folding and opening of arms 14 with ease in the well known manner of regular eyeglasses.
A resilient bridge 20, shaped to fit around the nose, is attached to lens 10 by screw or adhesive means.
Lens 10 is made to have an initial curvature of lesser radius than that expected when worn urging the arms 14 together as shown, so that when worn the eye shield will be held firmly in place by elastic deformation of lens 10 causing arms 14 to press inwardly against the temples; thus the downward curvature at the ends of arms 14, not being relied upon for retention, may be made very small or eliminated so as to minimize disturbance to the hairdo during placement or removal of the eye shield.
Lens 10, as shown, is made from a curved sheet of uniform thickness, and is attached to hinges 18 by screw means as indicated or else adhesively. Alternatively, lens 10 could be molded from transparent plastic material; in that instance, a portion of hinge 18 could molded integrally as part of lens 10 which would engage pin 16 so as to provide good strength without requiring screw or adhesive fastening.
FIG. 2 illustrates the manner in which the eye shield of FIG. 1 is utilized by a wearer 22 for eye protection while applying hair spray from spray can 24. The seal 12 makes intimate conformal contact against the face of the wearer 22 all around the edge of the lens thus protecting the eyes from hair spray whether approaching directly or indirectly. bridge 20 rests on an upper region of the nose, while the arms 14 of the shield press against the temples, typically resting lightly on the ears, with minimal interference with the styling of the hair. Thus the eye shield provides efficient protection for the eyes while allowing full visibility and free use of both hands for spraying and styling, along with convenient mounting and dismounting without interfering with the styling.
Lens 10 may be made from any of various transparent plastic materials which may be formed into the curved sheet configuration shown and which preferably will provide resilience to allow compensation for variations in face shape and also provide retention due to elastic deformation; however a more rigid material such as glass could be used for lens 10 in conjunction with an appropriate configuration of seal 12 using a foam type material with sufficient resilience to ensure intimate conformal contact against the face.
Lens 10 could be made in two separate side by side portions as an alternative to the single lens shown.
Seal 12 may be made from materials such as plastic foam, rubber, polyvinyl or sponge.
The shield may be made lightweight and of fashionable design to appeal to persons of all ages, shapes and stature.
Referring again to FIG. 1, a portion of hinge 18 may be made integral with arm 14, alternatively it be made as a separate part suitably attached to arm 14.
Hinges 18 and arms 14 may be made from a variety of materials such as plastic, metal or wood.
The arms 14 are hinged to facilitate storing and transporting the shield when not in use; as an alternative, the shield could be made in a form having hinges 18 eliminated and arms 14 formed integrally with lens 10.
For each component part, there is possible a variety of shapes, materials, colors, and ornamental treatment such as graphics patterns and the like, which could be utilized in the implementation of the shield without departing from the spirit and essential characteristics of the intended invention. The present embodiments are therefore to be considered in all respects as illustrative and not restrictive, the scope of the invention being indicated by the appended claims rather than by the foregoing description; and all variations, substitutions and changes which come within the meaning and range of equivalency of the claims are therefore intended to be embraced therein.

Q: I've heard that red wine is good for you. Is that true?
A: Many folks choose red wine because of the health benefits. Studies have found that the polyphenol antioxidant resveratrol found in red wine may help protect the lining of blood vessels in your heart.
Studies have also found that red wine may be linked to breast-cancer prevention. A 2011 study published in the Journal of the Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology found that resveratrol helped stop breast-cancer cells from growing.
But many red wines are made with sulfites to help prevent microbial growth and extend shelf life. Sulfites are also used to slow the oxidation process, which helps preserve flavors as wine ages. One in 100 people who have asthma is sensitive to sulfites and can develop itchy skin, nausea, stomach cramps, diarrhea or difficulty breathing.

Most Read Stories
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration requires that sulfites be listed on the label if they're used. Organic wines don't use sulfites, but are tougher to find and are usually more expensive.
Oftentimes, folks hear that a food or beverage is good for them and think more is better. This isn't the case with red wine — or most other foods, for that matter.
The verdict: Red wine is definitely on our "healthful" list, but just like in the story of Goldilocks, too little or too much won't do: You want it "just right" — or, in this case, in moderation.
