Historical Traveler Reviews The Westin Cincinnati
First rate
Very very nice hotel. One of the best priceline deals I've ever received. Would have loved to stay all week.
Wonderful Wedding
My now husband and I selected the Westin for our wedding reception and were thrilled with the results. The staff was wonderful - and went well out of their way to make it a special night for us as well as our guests. The rooms were lovely (gotta love that heavenly bed!) and clean. From the front desk to the chef to the event coordinator everything was wonderful. Excellent view of the square - and a Starbucks is just around the corner. Opt to park your own car under the square or hotel.
First Impressions
My husband and I was simply looking for a weekend away to celebrate our anniversary. I spoke to the first representative that quoted me a price on a weekend package. I informed her that I would call back in a few hours. When I called later that day to the make reservation for the weekend package and ask the representative what all did the package include and to make sure the room was non-smoking. The representative act as if to answer my questions and concerns was inconvient. she was extremely rude and very rushed over the phone. She quoted a hirer price for the same package. Then responded "Do you want it or not". Well, needless to say the answer was "not". The representative responded "O.K. " and hung the phone. When I called back to speak to a supervisor, the service was no better. She informed me that she was uanable to honor the original quote or request and that she was sorry for how the previous representative spoke to me. But she could take down my credit card information and book into the hotel. I passed on the poor attempt at guess service. The way I see it, before I was able to step my foot in the Westin Hotels front door. I was mislead, treated very rude, made aware that they are honorable and that all they was interested in was my credit card information. Some first impression. But I'm glad I found out before I wasted my money.
We Loved the Westin!
*We requested feather pillows upon reservation (option on web site) and they weren't in our room or even listed when we arrived.
*The bathroom was a bit dirty (hair in the bathtub), but was easily washed out.
*Noise from the hallway was fairly audible and woke us a couple of times during the night.
*The registration clerk was very professional and friendly. Also, when he discovered that our request (for feather pillows) was overlooked, he acted quickly and made us feel that we were of the utmost importance. The pillows arrived no more than 5 minutes after entering our room.
*Our bed was truly "heavenly."
*A pizza, which was delivered to us via room service around 2am, was very good.. much better than we expected. We were also impressed that the meal was served with China verses cheap dishware.
*We were allowed a late checkout, which was very much appreciated since we hadn't arrived in Cincinnati until around midnight.
Definitely opt for the Fountain View, but don't expect to see it
flowing during the winter season. There is an ice-skating rink in
Fountain Square and a great place to eat just on the other side. We had
trouble finding any open restaurants, within walking distance from the
Westin, on Sunday. The restaurant we found is called Rock Bottom
Restaurant and Brewery and is located just behind the skating rink.
It's nothing fancy (a sports bar), but the food is delicious! We had
the Asiago dip (hold the almonds and add garlic) and Portabella
sandwiches.. Yumm!
Great hotel
We enjoyed our stay at the Westin in December 2003. We had a very clean room overlooking fountain square. The Westin is in the heart of the city and close to everything. And the heavenly bed and shower were wonderful. Overall, I would definately stay here again!
Walked on our wedding night
My husband and I made reservations for our wedding night at the Westin downtown Cincinnati. The room was guaranteed with a credit card and we told them of our planned late arrival time ( about Midnight) due to an evening wedding and subsequent reception. When we arrived, still in wedding attire (it was after midnight at that point) the front desk clerk ducks behind an open door and the next thing we hear is LAUGHING!!! She then comes back out, the night manager (we assume) quickly bolts out through the door and leaves the front desk, and the clerk, without talking to us starts calling other hotels, asking for an available room. After my husband asked politely, then more sternly as he kept getting ignored, what the problem was, we were finally told that our room was given away, because we had a local address and there was a red's game in town. "and if we would quit interrupting her, as she was trying to find us a room." The best offer she could make us was a room at a super 8 in northern cincinnati, over 30 minutes away.
Needless to say, we left and fortunately had an apartment to go to. The management did send a letter of apology, but only offered one night for another occasion as exchange. Do not trust your stay in Cincinnati on the Westin! We really do have a wonderful city, but you won't find it there!!
Heavenly Bed indeed!
My friends and I stayed at the Westin on 12/13/03. We all loved it.
Granted, none of us did more than sleep there - no room service, no special requests - but that's the basis of a hotel. The bed and the shower (double head, curved shower curtain rod) are as advertised. Very comfortable and wonderful. We had 3 rooms, all spacious and facing Fountain Square. The front desk was polite, friendly and efficient. The room rate was $99 ($116 tax incl.), reserved at the hotel web site. A couple of friends stayed at Sheraon Four points, and they liked it as well but said the rooms at the Westin was much bigger and better appointed. My previous stay at a Westin was about 5 years ago, in Boston and I wasn't impressed. Nothing wrong, but nothing special. This trip made me change my mind. I'll probably consider staying at a Westin again next time I travel.
Great View of Fountain Square
We enjoyed our view of "Fountain Square." and most of all our "Heavenly Bed". Westin staff were helpful and friendly. We just happened to book our room the weekend of Oktoberfest so we were right in the heart of all the action. Good in-room "Starbucks" coffee too!
Westin was excellent!
We stayed at the Westin in Cincinnati and were impressed with all aspects of this hotel. The check in was easy and polite, the room was clean and very luxurious (great beds!), and the health club was first rate. Very quiet floor at night and great service made this a hotel we'll return to.
Beautiful Hotel, Customer Service Bad
When we arrived at 5:00 PM, the hotel was not prepared to handle incoming guests. While checking in, we were told that rooms were not ready and had to wait. the guests before us had requested a late checkout. This was at 5:00 in the afternoon! The customer next to us, was checked in no problem since he was a preferred guest. (To become a preferred guest you have to sign up on their web site at no cost). After notifying the staff we had somewhere to go and some persistence, we were given a room. But the rest of my party did not have the same luck. While other people were bheing checked in, they were left in the cold. You would think that late checkout didn't mean late afternoon! Otherwise the heavenly bed they market was just that and the rooms were very comfortable.
TripAdvisor Reviews The Westin Cincinnati
Travel Blogs from Cincinnati
Last Great Day/Eighth Day
... meaning with no accompaniment, and it turned out quite well. Scott Moss gave the closing message of the Feast, taking a true story of a fallen hero from his hometown, and using John 3:16, developing the story and the verse it into a great message of hope for this soldier and all of mankind.
Soon after the service we hit the road, as we had a few hours to drive before spending the night in West Virginia.
Spiritual Food, Fellowship, & Fun
... That would have been so embarrassing -and costly!
Between the morning seminar yesterday and the webcast service from Sevierville, we went on a tour of the Home Office. We had taken one nine years ago when the girls were small, but that was some time ago, and a number of things have changed. It was of particular interest to Heidi, who hopes to attend ABC next year. I was happy to be in the tour led by Janet Treadway, ...
Days Three and Four of The Feast
... is to go there before 7 am. Not a problem, since we are up before then anyway. I am glad we don't have to look for a laundrymat and drag all our clothes there and back.
Well, it's getting late and I should put some pics up here then go to bed. We have 8:30 am choir practice tomorrow morning again. It is a very small Feast choir, so I'm glad we are able to contribute. There are only two other ladies besides myself who are alto.
Goodnight everyone!
A Wonderful First Holy Day
... during the sermon.
We had a delicious buffet breakfast this morning, in one of the hotel restaurants. We had been given 18 "free" tickets for 4 people for the whole Feast, so we'll make up the balance by eating our own cereal, etc. in our room. But it will be convenient to save four of the meal tickets for the Last Great Day.
After breakfast we did some Bible Study and I worked on this travel blog. Then it was time to get a quick lunch ...
Back in London?
... large, but it was good. It was an Asian-type salad with chicken, blue cheese, crunchy noodles, lettuce, and cranberries. Delicious!
We tried to go to bed soon after that, because we would have to be up really early the next morning, in order to make a planned excursion, and arrive for the the 2pm choir practice in Cincinnati. I didn't sleep that well because I was restless and the room temperature was too warm, but the bed was very comfortable.

Miguel Vazquez Retains, Decisions Lenny Z Over Twelve
by Rick Reeno
MGM Grand, Las Vegas - Miguel Vazquez (28-3, 12KOs) retained his IBF lightweight title with a well earned twelve round unanimous decision over previously undefeated Lenny "Lenny Z" Zappavigna (25-0, 17KOs). The scores were 117-111, 118-110 and 118-110.
The action was fought at a much faster, and much more physical pace than expected. Vazquez was doing more fighting than boxing. Lenny Z appeared to have a significant amount of swelling building up on the left side of his face. In the fifth, Vazquez was landing some very sneaky punches and countering almost every shot from Zappavigna. Also in the fifth, a cut opened up above the right eye of Zappavigna.
Zappavigna mouth was wide open by the tenth round, while Vazquez was still looking strong and full of energy. In the tenth, a very bad cut opened up above the left eye of Zappavigna. Too difficult to tell if Zappavigna's cut was the result of a clash of heads, and there were many, or a punch. Zappavigna was vey strong for the first half of the fight. That power would fade by the second half. Vazquez used his legs, a stiff jab and clever defense to outbox the limited Australian fighter.
Where is the fool who said Zappivigna would tear Vasquez's head off??? Too many people are wined, dined, and seduced by an unbeaten record. He said "Zap is gonna TEAR Vasquez's head off!!" Yeah right.Comment by PRBOXINGCOTTO on 03-13-2011

I soon recieved a bill for the checkups of $548.00 with more xrays than I knew they took. When I called them to resolve the matter the office manager kept changing her story from "we dont accept your insurance" to "your insurance will only cover $80.00 for a checkup. I told her they had three chances before the appointment to let me know they did not accept my insurance and each time I was lied to. She said it was not her responsibility what someone else had done. She said that if I didn't join their "plan" right away they would make sure I was responsible for the full amount. "If you pay us $80.00 by December 20th we will not bill you for the full amount" It sounded like blackmail to me.
I called Western Dental headquarters to file a complaint. The woman half listened, told me she would mail me a form and I never recieved it. I got the same response for the Dental Association. I filed a complaint with the Better Businees Bureau which Western Dental never responded to.
Now they are sending me a nasty letter telling me that they are going to take me to court, garnish my wages and bill me for the legal expense.
I'm beginning to think it's really true -- there's no one out there watching out for the consumers.

According them, they said it is lifetime worldwide 100 weeks, 20 Cancun, only paying $399 for each reservation.When we return after vacatio, we noticed that they change pages, during the signing, by telling my,Lilya's, signatute doesn't match with ID.I read again the contract, when we came home. It shows totally different info. It says everythime we have to pay a lot of money,besides $399 for reservation. Within 10 days I asked to cancel, but they said I cannot.

What you're not reading about the Pritzker Prize
Newspapers across the country, and around the world, are running stories on their websites today (and tomorrow in print) on the Chilean architect Alejandro Arevena, winner of the Pritzker Prize, which is generally considered architecture's highest honor. I hope you'll read my own story about Aravena and his work, but I thought I'd use this space to go behind the curtain and address the very imperfect process of reporting this award.
Critics were actually informed that Aravena had won the award a week ago, on January 6, but a condition for learning this information was that it would not be published until 10 am eastern time this morning. This is known as an "embargo," and if it seems counterintuitive, that's because it is: reporters are congenitally inclined to report news at once, not sit on it. So why does this happen? In theory, it creates a level playing field for everyone and gives writers a bit of time to put together a story on the winner, aided by copious supporting materials provided by the Pritzker organization and an interview with the subject.
Last year, this process failed: the New York Times broke the embargo, precipitating a great deal of indignation and an angry letter to the Pritzker signed by many of America's critics, including myself. This year, due to a bit of early morning confusion about time difference, this paper posted a link to the story an hour early.
But the problem with the embargo is not so much when we report this story, but how we report it. Because of the embargo, it's extremely difficult to do any serious reporting on the subject. In the case of a laureate whose work is familiar, or easily accessible, these conditions are less than ideal, but at least a critic has some knowledge of the subject and can write with authority. But what happens when you have a winner like Aravena, a relatively obscure figure whose built work is mostly to be found in Chile?
I suspect most of my fellow critics are familiar with his social housing work, in particular his Quinta Monroy incremental housing development, in Iquiques. That project has been widely published and exhibited, including at the Museum of Modern Art, in New York. But I highly doubt many of my colleagues have seen it in person. (I haven't.) Nor, I suspect, have they seen any other of Aravena's projects in his home country. And that constitutes almost all of his built work.
Almost all. Aravena has a single project in the United States, and the small reporting window allowed me time to drive down to Austin to take a look at it. His residential complex at St. Edwards University is for the most part an impressive project, with a strong sense of geometry, attention to volume and void, materiality, and the making of public space. But the dorm rooms themselves are not ideal: dark, with poor fluorescent lighting. It's hard to know what happened here—presumably cost got in the way of quality—and who is at fault.
But the real question is whether that weakness is reflective of his work as a whole? One hopes not, and images and assurances from the Pritzker organization suggest it's not, but it's really impossible to tell without seeing in person.
All of this is a long way of saying, take what you read today about Aravena with a grain or two of salt, and be patient. Now that he has a Pritzker, he's likely to be building a good deal more, and in more accessible places, at least for an American.

Erik Morales Brushes Off USADA Ban, Eyes Return
By Jose Luis Camarillo, notifight.com
Last week, former four division world champion Erik Morales (52-9, 36KOs) was banned for two years by the US Anti-Doping Agency (USADA). Morales was sanctioned because he tested positive, in two separate tests, for Clenbuterol. The testing took place as Morales prepared for his rematch with WBA/WBC junior welterweight champion Danny Garcia, which took place last October at Barclays Center in Brooklyn. Morales was knocked out in the third round.
Morales has brushed off the ban, because he doesn't have an intention of fighting again in the United States. He wants to have a farewell fight, in Mexico, in the coming months. Morales revealed that he turned down an offer to co-headline an April card in the UK, which features Amir Khan in the main event against Julio Diaz. Morales, who is not training at the moment, said he would not be physically ready to fight on Khan's April 27th date.
"The idea is to make a nice party for the farewell of my career. I've had a 20-year career. I want to throw a party in honor of [myself] and in honor [of what I] accomplished. Not only for me, but for the people who stood by me - my father, my mother, my brothers, the fans, the press, especially the coaches, trainers, doctors, sparring partners and all of those who helped prepare me and demanded me to be better every day. But mostly my children and my wife, who often had to endure my absence for long periods of time. This is not just for me, but for everyone involved in my career," Morales said.

not in a financial position to refinance our home. In fact, we have been approved for the loan. It is because
each time we get a call from Quicken Loans stating that all title work is done and were ready to close, there is additional information required by Quicken Loans. Additional information is required because original documents have expired. At this point, we have provided the following:
2 home pay offs
3 bank statements (and they want more)
6 Credit reports causing credit rating to go down
8 tax returns
5 pay stubs
2 sets of W-2s
11 re-disclosure packets
4 retirement account statements
3 certifications and authorizations
Title work has been completed four times
At this point, we have talked to 15 different account care specialist and other staff,yet the process continues. To add insult to injury, Quicken Loans is now claiming we will not be refunded the $500.00 we submitted to start the refinancing process. It is unclear how a person can be approved for a home refinance, submit all necessary documents, and in many case more than once, and still not receive a loan. Quicken Loans approved us for the loan, ensured us that we qualified for the loan, and continues with their deceitful lending practices.

"The Madonna Files ...Based on Prophecies of the Virgin Mary"
"Dear children! In this time of grace I call you to take the cross of my beloved Son Jesus in your hands and to meditate on His passion and death. May your suffering be united in His suffering and love will win, because He who is love gave Himself out of love to save each of you. Pray, pray, pray until love and peace begin to reign in your hearts. Thank you for having responded to my call."
Dear children; Love is bringing me to you – the love which I desire to teach you also – real love; the
love which my Son showed you when He died on the Cross out of love for you; the love which is always ready to forgive and to ask for forgiveness. How great is your love? My Motherly heart is sorrowful as it searches for love in your hearts. You are not ready to submit your will to God's will out of love. You cannot help me to have those who have not come to know God's love to come to know it, because you do not have real love. Consecrate your hearts to me and I will lead you. I will teach you to forgive, to love your enemies and to live according to my Son. Do not be afraid for yourselves. In afflictions my Son does not forget those who love. I will be beside you. I will implore
the Heavenly Father for the light of eternal truth and love to illuminate you. Pray for your shepherds so that through your fasting and prayer they can lead you in love. Thank you.

Juan Manuel Marquez: Timothy Bradley is Showing His Fear
By Salvador Rodriguez
Four division world champion Juan Manuel Marquez believes WBO welterweight champion Timothy Bradley is playing mind games with him. In an interview with BoxingScene Radio, Bradley threatened to withdraw from his fight with Marquez - unless the Mexican boxer subjected himself to Olympic style drug testing under VADA [Voluntary Anti Doping Association]. Marquez prefers to use USADA [United States Anti Doping Association]. The match is getting close, with a date of October 12th at the Thomas & Mack Center in Las Vegas.
Top Rank's CEO Bob Arum tried to settle the dispute by paying additional funds to have the Nevada State Athletic Commission handle the testing. But that is not good enough for Bradley, who says the terms of the fight contract call for VADA and USADA to be used.
Marquez is paying Bradley no mind.
"Bradley is just reflecting the fear that he is feeling. I would like to do the examinations with USADA, but I am not going to fall into this game. He is the one who needs this fight. The most important victory of my career - I already achieved it [against Pacquiao], but [Bradley] is becoming arrogant. We are ready to get tested. He wants to do it with VADA....I prefer to do it with USADA. I have never tested positive. I do not know why Bradley is [talking the way he is]," Marquez said.

Choosing a PHP integrated development environment
Shopping for a PHP integrated development environment? We test drive a few of the leading candidates.
Long gone are the days when developers would edit source code in vi and run cc from the command line. Modern IDEs perform a wide range of functions directly from a single interface, and you never need to see a shell prompt. Several useful IDEs are available for PHP development – the right tool for you may depend on your needs and your taste for complexity. In this article, I take at closer look at some popular PHE IDEs. I started with a small, newly created project consisting of just a handful of files. Then, I took an existing project that consisted of a PHPNuke installation, containing about 26,000 files, half of which are PHP files, but only a couple dozen of those files are changed with any frequency. Each of the products allowed me to import existing files to varying degrees. In some cases, the product simply includes everything in the specified directory without question. In other cases, users are prompted for the types of files to include.

'Renderer not found' when running DAZ from external application
I have an external program, which calls DAZ via the SDK.
Basically the flow is:
Start up DAZ studio
Load up various objects and pose presets
Do a series of renderings with various objects turned on and off
Exit DAZ studio
This worked fine with DAZ < 4.5 - Unfortunately this is no longer the case.
Each render is done by the call:
dzApp->getRenderMgr()->doRender( renderOptions );
which now just gives me a msg box saying: "Unable to render, no rendering engine available"
The call to
Showed that I have a grand total of 0 available renderers - at least the msg box makes sense :)
So the question is:
How do I get access to a valid 3Delight renderer when I start DAZ studio via an external program?
Any input/help will be greatly appreciated.
Richard Haseltine Posts: 27,576
I assume you can render directly, with cmd/ctrl-r?
If I start the program normally - yes
Running via app->run(DzApp::FullInterface) - no (same error msg)
Richard Haseltine Posts: 27,576
Make a bug report then, please.
This only happens in the 64 bit version. 32 bit works fine.
I'll submit a bug report when time permits.

These are a quick and healthy way to make plantains. I like Kerfufle's idea to squeeze lemon or lime on them. I, also, sliced them thinly.
This was quick and easy. Next time I'm going to use non stick foil and spray it before putting the plantains on. I only sprayed & sprayed thoroughly with oil, but the pieces were sticking to the foil like mad. I like the taste and it is a healthy way to prepare plantains. Thank you
Savory and delicious with a squeeze of lemon, or lime, to tone down the bite of the cayenne pepper! I sliced the plantains about 3/8", thinner than specified in the recipe, and roasted them at 425F for 15 minutes, turning them once! Recipe made for tagging a chef beginning with the letter M in the Zaar Chef Alphabet Soup game in Cooking with Friends ~

New shows and special events have now been announced for the 2016 season.
Wittgenstein meets Hamlet, and Macbeth meets Soviet Prague in these two meta-Shakespearean one-acts by the always-imaginative Tom Stoppard, written in 1978 to be performed together. In the former, Stoppard mines Hamlet as a lingua franca for a linguistic farce deploying the philosophical logic of Ludwig Wittgenstein. In the latter, a truncated version of the Scottish Play is staged in a Czech living room, as was common Cold War practice among theatre artists. As Newsweek wrote: "The incorrigibly playful Stoppard has never been more serious than in this most playful of his works. Like George Orwell, Stoppard knows that language and liberty are intertwined: when language is perverted, corrupted or forcibly repressed, so is liberty."

I received a bill from One Call/Navicomm and not being familiar with either company I called the 800 number to clarify who they were and why I owed them money.
The nice young man on the phone explained that I, or someone in my home, had connected through dial up to a website that required a connection from Navicomm. I asked for the name of the website and was told that he did not have that information.
With every reasonable questions I asked to try to verify my obligation to pay this bill. He could not provide me with proof of my responsibility other than to say that the "switching records from the phone company indicated someone in your home connected to a website through Navicomm's service" so you owe the money.
So I asked for a copy of the switch records to verify that the call had come from my home. I was politely told I would have to get a subpoena for the records. In my frustration and disbelief I asked if I was susposed to just "send them a check" without any concrete proof. The basic answer was "Yes".
They have my address, they have my phone number, and it would be "illegal" for them to bill me without the charges being authorized. Maybe 25-30 years ago I would have paid it without question, but not in this day and age.
Granted this all over $9.74, but the principle of the matter is I should not have to pay for something without substantive proof of the obligation. Otherwise anyone can send an invoice to someone and demand payment.
Even after calling back and explaining that I had done some internet research on both companies and their reputations left something to be desired they stood firm on the obligation. So I told them when they could provide proper proof of the expense I would gladly pay the bill, but until then I was not going to pay anything.

Technical writers have no formal professional certification to demonstrate their expertise. If you need a position as a documentation specialist, how do you present yourself as a qualified, quality applicant? Here are a few articles that should help you.
Analysis, Plus Synthesis: Turning Data into Insights
In this article, I will outline an approach to gleaning insights from primary qualitative research data. This article is not a how-to for creating the design tools that are often the outputs of primary qualitative user research—such as personas, mental models, or user scenarios. Instead, it identifies an approach to generating overarching insights, regardless of the design tool you want to create.

Answer the Phone? Sniff Armpits? Top 10 Interview Gaffes
Hear the one about the job candidate who brushed her hair during an interview? Or the man who sniffed his armpits on the way into the interview room? They may sound like jokes but these are two of the top 10 gaffes to feature in an annual survey of the most outrageous interview mistakes by candidates compiled by online job site CareerBuilder.com.

Asking questions is one of the most powerful ways to open up a text and begin a discussion. It's not a new technique, of course, but it's one a philosophy professor in college taught me years ago.

We tech writers need to know what our readers need. One of the simplest ways to find out is to just ask the users. However, the most obvious questions aren't necessarily the best ones. Today, I look at some questions that don't work as well as you might think.

Attraction to Organizational Culture Profiles: Effects of Realistic Recruitment and Vertical and Horizontal Individualism—Collectivism
Today's organizations are challenged with attracting, developing, and retaining high-quality employees; thus, many firms seek to improve their recruitment and selection processes. One approach involves using realistic job previews (RJPs) to communicate a balanced view of the organization. The authors explored the effects of organizational culture (hierarchy, market, clan, and adhocracy), recruitment strategy (RJP vs. traditional), and personality (horizontal and vertical individualism—collectivism) on attraction to Web-based organizational profiles using a sample of 234 undergraduate students in a mixed two-factor experimental design. Results indicate that the clan culture is viewed as the most attractive. Traditional versus RJP recruitment produced higher levels of organizational attraction. Finally, predicted relationships between the personality framework of horizontal and vertical individualism—collectivism and organizational attraction were supported.

You have to create a professional persona. That persona is a full-fledged adult who demonstrates a tightly organized research program, a calm confidence in a research contribution to a field or discipline, a clear and specific trajectory of publications, innovative but concise, non-emotional ideas about teaching at all levels of the curriculum, a non-defensive openness to the exchange of ideas, and most importantly, a steely-eyed grasp of the real (as opposed to fantasy) needs of actual hiring departments, which revolve ultimately, in the current market, around money.

People often turn down the chance to be interviewed because they're nervous, or afraid they'll say the wrong thing. Instead, think of the interview as a golden opportunity for you to convey your message. If perceptions about you, your school, or youth in general have been wrong in the past, this is your chance to set the record straight.

Calculating the Value-Added: What Hiring Managers Need to Know About Academic Technical Communication Programs
Hiring managers need to understand academic programs in technical communication in order to evaluate potential new hires, especially for entry-level positions in challenging, high-tech, international environments. Changes in the profession, in the workplace, and in higher education have led to the proliferation of academic programs. These may offer advantages over non-academic training, in terms of cost, comprehensiveness, content, and control. Academic programs are also different among themselves, based on credentials, institutions, instructors, and program homes. By developing reasonable, informed expectations for what academic programs teach, managers who hire program graduates can experience the payoffs of lower-risk, more cost-effective long-term hires.

The Cardinal Rule of Interviewing a Subject Matter Expert (SME) For a Document
A technical writer will periodically need to interview Subject Matter Experts (SME) to gather information about a technical document. More often that not, and especially within the context of software development, most SMEs are engineers and software developers. But they can also be mechanical, electrical and other types of engineers, hardware installers, network engineers, testers, site foremen, call center engineers, field technicians, sales or marketing people, local dealers, etc. One cardinal rule of interviewing an SME is to do your homework well, in advance.

For years, would-be employees have undergone scrutiny by employers during the interview process. In addition to our resume, we have to provide personal and professional references. We have to pass drug tests and personality tests. We have to prove our education and in many cases, whether or not we actually served in the military. It's all for a good cause of course, but rarely is the topic of employer suitability mentioned in the Job Hunting context. These last few years have been unprecedented in regards to company ethics and business practices. One doesn't have to look far to hear a sad tale of over-promised benefits, stock, and promotions from companies who are now nothing more than memories. The ongoing telecom scandals have even further rocked our beliefs in the stability and ethics of Corporate America. With all the recent layoffs and 'restructuring' now is a great chance for employees to take time out to evaluate their next employer. employee happiness is possibly the most important area of a person's overall professional satisfaction. Thus, it is not to be taken lightly. Nothing else matters if you go to work for the wrong company - not even if you've been out of work for a year and you simply need the money. Sooner or later, you'll be back in the same jam.

Circumventing HR: Effective Job-Hunting Strategies
A common misconception is that Human Resources departments exist to help job-seekers find their place within a company. In fact, the role of HR departments is to act as the gatekeeper. Savvy job-seekers know how to get around, over, and bypass the gates of HR, to connect with the decision-makers who can really help you.
Clicking for a Job: Using Job Search Web Sites in a Technical Communication Job Search
Technical communicators should use job search Web sites and other Internet resources (i.e., listservs and email networking) as part of their overall job search strategy. In using job search Web sites, technical communicators should choose carefully from four main categories of such sites: general job search sites, field-specific sites, professional organization sites, and specific employer sites. Each of these categories requires specific consideration. Job seekers should take into account the specific characteristics and purposes of the site and its users. To get the most effective results, technical communicators should also take special care when choosing keywords for job searches.

Conducting Successful SME Interviews
Interviewing subject matter experts (SMEs) is one of the most common and useful methods for obtaining the information needed to create quality documents. Successful SME interviews require careful research and preparation in advance. During the interview, good listening skills, critical analysis, and the ability to maintain control of the range and depth of the interview with appropriate tact are crucial to successful outcomes. After the interview, give prompt attention to notes and any required follow-through. When working with hostile SMEs or those with poor communication skills, emphasize the strengths of the relationship and develop strategies to work around any weaknesses.

Culture and Usability Evaluation: The Effects of Culture in Structured Interviews
A major impediment in global user interface development is that there is inadequate empirical evidence for the effects of culture in the usability engineering methods used for developing these global user interfaces. This paper presents a controlled study investigating the effects of culture on the effectiveness of structured interviews in international usability evaluation. The experiment consisted of a usability evaluation of a website with two independent groups of Indian participants. Each group had a different interviewer; one belonging to the Indian culture and the other to the Anglo-American culture. The results show that participants found more usability problems and made more suggestions to an interviewer who was a member of the same (Indian) culture than to the foreign (Anglo-American) interviewer. The results of the study empirically establish that culture significantly affects the efficacy of structured interviews during international user testing. The implications of this work for usability engineering are discussed.

Akshay Kumar: Star Who Failed To Shine Sometime
Superstar Akshay Kumar has given a number of hit films in his long and illustrious career, but the star looks lost in the recent past. Akshay aka Khiladi Kumar who is known for his action and daring stunts has disappointed his fans from quite sometime.
Akshay made his Bollywood debut with the film Saugandh in the year 1991, but tasted success in his second film Khiladi, released a year later. The action actor didn't had a brilliant start at the early stage of his career as few films didn't do well at the box office.
Over the years the actor has developed a his reputation as most bankable stars in the B-town but disappointed the audiences with the flops like Yeh Dillagi, Jai Kishan, Amaanat, Zakhmi Dil and Ikke Pe Ekka after tasting initial success.
Akshay was going through a low time in his career when he was offered the supporting role under Yash Raj Films' Dil Toh Pagal Hai, starring Shahrukh Khan. Film was one the biggest hits of the year 1997 and Akshay received the nomination for the Best Supporting Actor's role.
But doing a cameo in DTPH didn't help Akshay as he failed to impress the audience with his comic timing in the film Mr. & Mrs. Khiladi. Bad luck continued for a long time as the actor had no releases for nearly two years post Mr. & Mrs. Khiladi's flop show. Now, it was rumoured that the actor's career has come to an end. But, the trained martial arts fighter was in no mood to give up.
Akshay then decided to present himself in a new avatar by tickling the audiences' funny bone through comedy. He was appreciated for his comedy in films like Hera Pheri, Garam Masala, Mujhse Shadi Karogi and many more. But once again after making a successful come back on the big screen, Akshay made a mistake while signing films. His much talked about film Chandni Chowk To China failed badly at the box office in the year 2009.

The Sustainable Foods Summit will take place in San Francisco on 20-22nd January 2016. The summit comprises four conference sessions and two interactive workshops...
With the United Nations declaring 2016 as the international year of
pulses, the summit begins with a keynote on the importance of
plant-based proteins. A pioneering company shares its experiences
in making sustainable proteins from pulses and related plant
materials. Why is the future of sustainable foods inter-linked with
the future of proteins?
An international expert highlights the role of sustainable agriculture in tackling many of the environmental, social and economic problems of the modern world. Another speaker discusses the importance of water management, specifically the need to reduce the water impact of food and beverage products. The growing importance of local food markets are highlighted, whilst case studies will be given of a leading retailer and foodservice company on how they are tackling the sustainability challenge. The session adjourns with featured speakers debating the growing complexity of sustainability in the food industry. How are, and how should, food companies & retailers be approaching this multi-faceted discipline?
The palette of sustainable ingredients continues to widen for food
and beverage applications. On one side, crops are being grown
according to sustainable agricultural practices. On the other,
technological processes are leading to new ingredients that have a
lower environmental impact than their conventional counterparts.
This session looks at important such developments.
With traditional proteins coming under scrutiny for their adverse effect on the environment, some novel sources of proteins are explored. The use of mushroom technology to change the profile of grains, sweeteners and related food will be explored. Other papers look at the use of food waste to create clean label ingredients, and the use of algae as a sustainable source of food ingredients. Featured speakers will form a panel to discuss the role of new technologies in creating food ingredients.
This session covers important developments in the marketing of
sustainable foods, with a focus on free-from foods. With about 1 in
10 Americans suffering from food allergies or sensitivity, a
growing number of consumers are seeking dairy-free, gluten-free or
related products. Details are given into this growing demographic,
as well the market for free-from foods. What growth is projected in
the coming years? What product categories have most growth
potential? A Californian brand shares its marketing and
distribution experiences in the non-dairy category. Fresh consumer
research is presented on the growing myriad of food labels: apart
from eco-labels and free-from labels, what other food labels are
gaining traction?
An update is given on GM labeling in the US. Case studies are given of a pioneering sustainable food brand and an innovative retailer. To conclude, featured speakers will discuss the future direction of food labels in the food industry. Will the number of food labels continue to proliferate or is some harmonization expected?
Although packaging has high environmental impact, it is often
neglected when food and beverage companies consider sustainability.
This session looks at the various ways food and beverage companies
can address their packaging impacts.
Latest research is presented on the packaging footprint of food and beverage products. How do differences in packaging materials affect environmental impacts? An update is given on the use of eco-design approach, as well as biopolymers in packaging applications. With a growing move to re-direct packaging waste from landfill, the possibilities of closed loop systems for packaging are explored. Success stories are given of food and beverage companies with innovative green packaging. To conclude, featured speakers will discuss how to overcome the obstacles to green packaging.
Although there is a general consensus that food and
beverage companies need to do more to lower the environmental
footprint of their products, it is not always clear what practical
steps can be taken. This workshop has been designed to assist
companies get a better understanding of their environmental impacts
with view of reducing them.
The workshop will give a general introduction to environmental impacts. Details will be given on how food and beverage products influence the environment in terms of sourcing of raw materials, production, distribution & logistics, consumption to post-use. With the use of case studies, guidance and practical advice will be given to operators on how they can take positive steps to reduce their impacts.
This new workshop gives a detailed update on the global market for
eco-labeled foods, highlighting business openings to existing
operators and new entrants.
The market for organic, fairtrade and related labeled foods is growing at a healthy rate. However, what is the future growth outlook for this market? What eco-labels are the most popular and comprise most revenues? What are the differences between North America and other regions? What are the business openings for brands and exporters? Such questions will be addressed in this new workshop, designed for food, beverage, ingredient and related firms.
Please contact us to get the detailed summit program.

Good team, should finish top four, but I see some holes that may leave you out of the top spot.
Took chance on SP, plenty of relief though. Could upgrade a couple offensive guys.
Get Sandoval..great backup..Trade RPS 4 slugger..u need 1
I don't like your team. Not enough power. In a head to head league you need someone on your team, at least one player, who can just flat out mash the ball and drive in runs like the devil. You have nobody on your team like that. You just have a bunch of guys that hit near the top and rely on speed who get on base and score lots of runs. Not balanced enough.
The pitching is good, but I'll take your pitchers out with one elite pitcher and 3 front line relievers. You have no elite relievers. If you're going to go pitching heavy at least grab a Mariano Rivera or if its going to be a no-name dude grab Brian Wilson, someone who won't put up a crazy whip or K's but will get lots of saves.
I know this isn't what you want to hear, but it's just my opinion. Trades are hard to do sometimes in leagues. I don't like to rely on a trade in a league. Sometimes you get morons in the league who will veto a trade for no good reason. Then you're basically screwed.
When you evaluate a team, you have to look at stats more than the players at each position. For instance, you have alot of good hitters.
But, first, you lack speed. Sizemore and Markakis will give you 25-30 each and little else from others. A team that has Jose Reyes or Willy Taveras or Figgins will get more steals than your entire team.
In terms of power, you are doing pretty good. Every starting hitters has a shot at 20 HR's, which obviously means a healthy bunch of RBI's too. Soto, Pedroia, Atkins, Young, Markakis and Ethier hits for good average and many of your players hit at the top or middle of the order, that is also good.
Now onto pitching, Peavy and Lester are a pretty sick combo of starting pitchers. Alot of K's and good ratios (ERA and WHIP), even though Peavy's win total worries me. Gallardo and Baker are good young pitchers entering their prime.
Justin Duchscherer is the only pitcher I am worried about. He has never pitched more than 96 innings prior to last year (141 innings), and started to struggle in late July and ultimately got injured in August. His season numbers seem spectacular because he was awesome for the first half of the season. His second half was terrible (6 GS, 0W-3L, 4.91 ERA, 1.42 WHIP). Because he is not a strike-out pitcher, if he does not start HOT like last year, I would not keep him on the roster.
As for the bullpen, in a 12-team league, you would want at least 3 closers to finish near the top in saves category. 30 MLB teams roughly means 30 closers, and in 12-team league, each team should have 2.5 closers. Joakim Soria is a top 5 closer and Capps is solid too. Ziegler has a chance to close for A's, but it's hard to say at the moment.
I would recommend flipping Ethier or a bench player for a speed specialist. And for pitching, use Gallardo, Duchscherer, or Francisco for an established closer. Then, you should have a more balanced team.

I wholeheartedly disagree with Richard P's assessment. If you breakdown the total number of stolen bases from last year Jackson 10, Pedroia 20, Young 10, Sizemore 38, Markakis 10, Ethier 6, that gives a total of 94 stolen bases. You can dump Cruz for someone on the waiver wire who just steals bases to increase that to 120+ or higher easily. You can't do the same for home runs. Power doesn't grow on trees like SB's. Just about everyone in your lineup hits near the top of the order and scores lots of runs. I won't even bother to go into the RBI's, I'll let you add that up Richard and cry about another poorly assessed category. Nobody on your team can mash or drive in runs.
I will go into the power numbers: Soto 23, Jackson 12, Pedroia 17, Atkins 21, Young 12, Sizemore 33, Markakis 20, Ethier 20, Cruz 7 for a total of 165 home runs. That's not a bad number, but the top teams always have mashers on their squad. Ryan Howard 48 and Manny Ramirez 37 combined for 85 round trippers by themselves which is more than half of your entire team's output from last year. And that's just for two guys. You can see how easy it would be to overpower your lineup.
Now onto the pitching neither Gallardo or Duchsherer have been able to pitch an entire season, nor do they get K's. Soria is a solid reliever but I would feel bad about having Matt Capps as my second best reliever. He's on a bad team that will likely only deliver 20 saves again. And since when is 20 saves considered solid for a relief pitcher? I would consider 30 saves to be solid, 40 saves would be very good to elite.
Total saves Soria 42, Capps 21, Francisco 5, Ziegler 11. That's a total of 79 saves distributed between 4 relief pitchers and you're not even sure Ziegler will even close this year. That's not exactly a solid relief corps. The starters are good because of Peavy and Lester, I wouldn't mind having those guys on my team, but not for a H2H league. It's too easy to stream and build up W's and K's.
Your teams has lots of holes but mostly you need more power, get some power and you'll be better. If you can land a masher maybe you can take 4 out of the 5 offensive categories (forget about RBI's your team is not strong enough there) and then the pitching can take care of the last 2 categories. Of course I'm thinking playoffs here which is a long ways away but you have to think like that.

If its a 12 team league Lowell will be a good 3B to have and maybe if he struggles you can trade a month into the season....
I think you should trade a closing pitcher and a couple bench players for Youk who is a 1B and 3B eligible
