TravelPod Member ReviewsShoreham New York City
This is a small hotel with a great location on 55th St which makes it 4 blocks from Central Park, two blocks to the E subway and 8 blocks to Times Sq. It is very pleasant. Our room is around 300 sq ft which is pretty big for a hotel room under $200 in midtown. We like it.

Historical Traveler Reviews Shoreham New York City
Words can not fully express how horrible my experience has been. The management is a outrageous, customer service and staff rude, and prices inflated for what you expect.They act as if they're doing you a favor by staying at their overpriced hotel. Never, ever again. Run, don't walk, away from this hotel. There are infinitely better places to stay.
It stinks!!!!!
When I saw the hotel's website, it looked nice along with capuccino machine and other small perks.However, when I got there, I was so dissapointed. The room was so tiny and smelly. The bathroom was dirty and needed repair. They advertised at their website that we would receive a bathrobe and bottle water, which in fact, we didn't get any of those. I would not come back to this hotel. I can find a better hotel in NY with the price I paid.
She's aging badly!
Not a great hotel, one of the elevators was out which left a tiny elevator to handle 11 floors. Maybe 3 people could fit into it, so lines were long.
In my room, the a/c, fridge and stereo all were broken when I arrived.
The best replacement a/c unit (it was 97 in NYC that weekend) leaked water profusely over the floor so I constantly had to get new towels to keep the water loss at a minimum. The new a/c unit was also so loud, it sounded like a machine gun, it was very difficult to sleep at night.
The concierge desk was never staffed. I asked for assistance one time from a front desk staffer who completely blew a fairly simple subway question.
I did not receive housekeeping one day, and by the time I returned theh housekeepers were gone for the day.
The timed delivery breakfast for 7:00 to 7:15AM showed up at 7:33AM, after I left (they left a voice mail stating they were there). They originally tried to charge me for it, even though they were 18 minutes late!
I could feel the springs of the bed through the sheets and the bed was bowed in the center, my head and feet were higher than my torso.
Not a great place in my opinion, hopefully others have better luck.
Many other, much nicer places to stay in NYC.
Location is great - lots of shopping nearby. Staff were welcoming and helpful. Dogs allowed- a plus for us. Rooms were clean with understated decor. But, somehow, it just wasn't very impressive. Splurged on a suite and was happy enough with sq footage, but it wasn't anything special. The place has an air of claustrophobia to it. Are the ceilings perhaps low? Will continue to explore the many other options NYC has to offer before staying here again.
Shoreham was a great deal!!
My mother and I stayed at the Shoreham last year in October and absolutely loved it. The location was great (subway around the corner) quiet street, great little restaurants around (of course) and great rate to boot. Loved the modern decor and trance music in lobby. Yes the rooms are small BUT COME ON, THIS IS NY!! IF YOU EXPECTED THE ROOMS TO BE LARGE, YOU'RE A LITTLE OUT OF IT. Same deal in SF, Paris, etc...I usually stay at an Ian Schrager prop but didn't want to spend the money this time, Shoreham was a nice surprise.
I Dig The Shoreham!
People that work at the Shoreham were great...very laid-back....no mid-town neuroses here, just free to be... so easy-going...room was fine...nice linens, very clean, can't beat the price... was lucky that way...100 bucks (a last minute cancelation, or something ) I probably won't see that kind of pricing again, but, I will go back again regardless of the cost, if only for the self-serve cappucino machine in the understated lounge area.
Excellent in Every Way
A colleague and I stayed 5 nights at the Shoreham while attending a conference in March and found it exceptional in its location, service, amenities, and overall comfort. The rooms ARE small, especially with a queen-sized bed, the water pressure in the shower is weak, and the hotel sign really ought to be lit for easier locating, but those were the only negatives. All of the staff were not only cordial and helpful, but went out of their way to ensure that we enjoyed our stay. At checkin, they explained every amenity the hotel had to offer--which included free videos and a free cappucino/coffee area. Our room had a vcr, cd player, safe, iron and ironing board, hairdryer, and very nice bath products--everything we could need for a short stay. We had no trouble getting a taxi and there are at least two subways within a short two block walk. One major plus for us was the amount of lighting in the room, which can be a problem in even the best hotels; there were overhead lights on the ceiling, above the bed, and along one wall, as well as individual table lamps on both sides of the bed. For someone who likes her room brightly lit and has a lot of evening ready to do, this was wonderful! We've stayed in the Marriot Marquis and the New York Hilton, and, while they are also top-notch, the Shoreham provides a quieter environment and friendlier, more personal service. We would definately stay there again.
Room was very small. Strange location on side street. Was very difficult to get a taxi. Modern.
Shoreham Hotel New York, definitely will return!
We stayed at the Shoreham the weekend before Christmas for the first time and loved it. Rooms are very cozy; excellent linens and down comforter. Loved the bathrooms with Aveda products and the complimentary cappucino machine in the sitting area behind the lobby. Great breakfast in their restaurant. Free internet access. Only downside is, that hotel is not near avery good subway line; you ahve to change trains a lot.
Shoreham Hotel - Scrooge Lives Here!
My boyfriend and I planned to spend Christmas Day in New York this year (Dec 25, 2002) and I just returned from the Shoreham Hotel. My first impressions were great, being greeted by a glass of Champage when you enter the hotel! Don't be fooled, I ended up Christmas night trying to stay warm by jumping in bed (boyfriend of course trying to help:)) but we were both freezing. He called maintenance only to find at 11:00pm we had to change rooms (once again - our heating in the room was broken). Our room had already been changed when we first checked in.
End result, not enough towels in our new room, (only 1.5) shower clogged with something (goodness knows what HAIR!!??... a gremlin? Gizmo??) (we asked for maintenane and it was never fixed) reading light broken in the room, run out of tissue paper (only used four sheets). The list of problems goes on. He spoke to the manager to find out that the hotel had changed hands at least twice in the past few years and is now under new management. Needless to stay I would NEVER stay there again. They appear to be having financial problems as they are skimping on the smallest stuff - tissue paper, etc... hmmmmmmmm strange but true - I think SCROOGE lives here... how cheap can one get??
Anyone staying there should not expect too much as long as they have these problem. I LOVE New York... but will stay away from that place.

London on steroids!
Breakfast at the hotel was buffet.. Fruit, yoghurts, toast, bagels, pastries, muffins, cereal, tea, coffee and more! Empire State Building was our first stop as we could see it from the bedroom window. It was a very short walk to ESP, we decided to go up to the very top!

I am a writer, educator, mental health advocate, and mother of four amazing children, one of whom has bipolar disorder. I started my blog, The Anarchist Soccer Mom, in 2007, where I first published the essay, "I Am Adam Lanza's Mother" when my family's personal tragedy intersected with the public tragedy of Newtown. I spoke at TEDx San Antonio in October 2013 and regularly contribute to Huffington Post and Psychology Today. My essays have also been published on Time.com, MariaShriver.com, MIndBodyGreen,.com, ParentMap.com, and TheMighty.com. My book, The Price of Silence: A Mom's Perspective on Mental Illness, was described by Kirkus Review as "a searing indictment of the lack of affordable care available for the treatment of mentally ill adolescents."
National Book Award winner Andrew Solomon has this to say about The Price of Silence: "In this courageous, determined, radical book, Liza Long exposes the dearth of alternatives for parents of kids with mental illnesses, the shame that attends their perceived failures, and the hope that such families may find their collective voice and demand better options. I hope her passionate cry is heard far and wide."
I have spoken to groups across the country about the importance of ending stigma and providing real solutions for children and families. Watch my March 2016 National Council on Behavioral Health Convention speech here.
In April 2016, my son Eric spoke at TEDx Boise about growing up with bipolar disorder. You can watch his talk here.

I encourage everyone to speak up for kids and to help our society to end the stigma of mental illness. There are real solutions for hope and recovery. But first, we have to talk about the problem.

There are really a lot of amazing people at Olivet - both guys and girls. There are definitely a lot of relationships on campus and we have that classic "Ring by Spring" joke. Dorms are separated by sex except on a couple nights a week. I would say we have a very good looking campus.
Guys & Girls:
From the moment I visited Olivet's campus for the first time, I knew the students were different there in the best way possible. Everyone is so friendly and are always open to meeting new people!
Guys & Girls:
Everyone at ONU is generally friendly and accepting of everyone. I haven't had any instances where I have been uncomfortable or felt left out of things.
Guys & Girls:
Guys and girls on this campus are committed to doing something more with their lives; not just to get a degree to make money, but to make a difference in this world.
Guys & Girls:
Not only can I attest for the overall attractiveness of the student body, but I can also boast of the quality of students' personalities. The people at Olivet are some of the most wonderful and friendly people I have ever encountered!!

Wakefield were edged out against league leaders Huddersfield as a Jermaine McGillvray hat-trick helped the visitors to victory at the Rapid Solicitors Stadium.
A last minute call from Richard Silverwood denied the hosts' victory as the referee ruled that Tim Smith's pass to name sake Lee was forward much to the frustration of the Wildcats fans.
It was a frenetic start to match and it was the Giants who took the lead, as neat play on the right allowed Jermaine McGillvary to touch down.
Three minutes later and McGillvary was in again, a neat kick from Luke Robinson found the winger in the corner for his second try of the game.
Danny Brough missed his second conversion and the score stood at Wildcats 0-8 Giants.
Trinity responded well though and got their first try as a great offload from Lauitiiti set Richard Mathers away, who handed on for Peter Foxfor Wakefield's first score. Sykes converted to make it Wildcats 6-8 Giants.
Both sides then applied pressure on one another but defences stood firm.
Richard Agar only made one change to the team that beat London with Lee Smith coming in to replace the injured Reece Lyne in the centres. Smith was heavily involved throughout the game in his first appearanceof 2013.
The next points of the game came five minutes before half time as Wakefield were awarded a penalty for interference at the play the ball. Paul Sykes kicked it from right in front to level the scores at 8-8.
Straight from the kick off a mistake by Trinity saw the Giants awarded a penalty which Danny Brough kicked to restore the visitors lead.
Just before half time and referee Silverwood awarded Huddersfield another penalty. They again went for goal and were successful through Brough as the teams went in 12-8 at half time.
Just before the break Wakefield skipper Danny Kirmond suffered an injury and was not to be seen again in the second half of this contest due to a problem with his left knee.
The visitors again came out of the blocks quicker and McGillvary grabbed his hat-trick after another long ball over the top caught out the Wakefield defence. Brough's excellent conversion from out wide meant the visitors had breathing space again at 18-8.
The game then became tight and the next score was crucial and with 15 minutesto go it was Wakefield who got it. Great hands down the left saw Ben Cockayne get the ball and expertly grubber through for Lee Smith to score.
Paul Sykes crucially missed the conversion which made the score 18-12 with time running out.
After sustained pressure on the Huddersfield line Wakefield finally went
over with six minutes to go as a long racking pass from Tim Smith found Cockayne again.
Paul Sykes had the chance to level the game at 18-18 from out wide but he missed the conversion.
As Wakefield pushed on and tried to win they broke through in the very
last minute. Lee Smith latched onto another Tim Smith pass and thought he had won it, but Silverwood said it was forward and the Giants took the spoils.
Despite the result there were huge positives in a game the Wildcats could
easily have won on another day as it was an unsuccessful day for both Peter Fox and Andy Raleigh who both made their 150th appearances in Super League.
WILDCATS: Mathers, Fox, Collis, L.Smith, Cockayne, Sykes, T.Smith, Poore, Aiton, Raleigh, Kirmond, Lauitiiti, Washbrrok. SUBS: Wood, Amor, Wilkes, Annakin.
GIANTS: Grix, Murphy, Cudjoe, Wardle, McGillvary, Brough, Robinson, Crabtree, Lunt, Fielden, Ferres, Chan, Fairbank. SUBS: Faiumu, Patrick, Cording, Mullally.

Dave Franco isn't a jerk -- he just played one on "Scrubs" (NBC, 2001-2010); and in the popular remake of "21 Jump Street" (2012); and in his Funny or Die videos with "Superbad" co-star Christopher Mintz-Plasse and brother James Franco. His snarky cool and sarcastic wit were also on display in his roles as a whipsmart teen on "Privileged" (The CW, 2008-09) and a Muppet-obsessed frat boy on "Greek" (ABC Family, 2007-2011), as well as his work as a writer and director on numerous videos for the Internet comedy site Funny or Die (his infamous "Go F*ck Yourself" video is particularly popular). Franco may not share his brother's sense of meta-theatricality, but his ambition and creativity are definitely a family trait.

Erika Lust's didn't want her daughters to grow up and be exposed to the commercialized and commoditized usage of women's bodies that is typical in mainstream porn; she demanded something different. Her bold emergence into the world of erotic filmmaking has been a breath of fresh air into the erotic genre industry.
Christie Mack, a retired porn actress was beaten by her ex, MMA fighter Jon Koppenhaver. Yet staggering amounts of people seemed to believe that Mack didn't deserve sympathy because she's a porn star, and was therefore asking for it. It's very sad that the perception of a woman being a "slut who deserves what she gets" doesn't turn off in the moment that the pornographic video ends. Despite the "real feel" elements of the film making, the porn industry is just like every other film industry -- every movie is ONLY a movie.
Abercrombie & Fitch has been peddling billboards of apparently-naked men for decades and it seemed to work okay. American Apparel shocked and titillated with its early campaigns: using sex appeal to sell such sundry basics as t-shirts and socks. My theory? BAD sex doesn't sell. And this is one similarity between the porn and fashion industries.
This is the porn talk. By now you know what sex is (and what fun THAT talk was!), and in all likelihood you know more about porn than I imagine. Sex is a universal human experience, and a private one, which means I wanted you to hear about it from the people closest to you. But over the decades, porn has increasingly become part of the sexual experience, and I don't want to ignore it. Even of it's of no interest to you, you should hear me out, if only to indulge dear old mom.
In an xoJane article titled "I'm Finally Revealing My Name and Face As the Duke Porn Star," the 18-year-old college freshman Miriam Weeks details why she's comfortable with her line of work. She strikes me as thoughtful and deliberative while the campaign against her smells like old-fashioned Puritanism.
"Page unpublished ... flagged for self harm ... What?" Don't get me wrong, as a director of adult film, I've been temporarily suspended from Facebook a few times. But my community manager pointed out that the pro-choice banner I had published a month ago was nowhere to be found. In English it reads "My pussy, my rules: free and accessible abortion." This image alone generated 1,200 comments -- 17,500 likes -- and was shared 29,000 times. That is, until enough members found the image offensive to their beliefs and flagged it, and Facebook subsequently dubbed it "self harm."
To preface this story, I have to admit that my relationship with porn has always been a dishonest one. If I was to watch it on the Internet, I streamed it. I have never bought a DVD or subscribed to a website nor financially contributed to the industry in anyway, only stolen from it. Then, one day, porn got me back. Someone on Twitter sent me a link to a porno that used our song. Art-rock is a tricky thing. It's precious. People talk about it like fine art or good wine. It's pretentious, it's serious and not for porn. So the implication was that I should be immediately up in arms. My art was stolen and slapped over some smut film. How dare they defile something I labored over?
Try to find some child pornography. Go on. Head to Google, or Bing, or even a porn-specific search engine, and try to devise a search string capable of returning pedophilic images or video. I'll wait. Once you're done, we'll meet back up in the next paragraph. In reacting to the story of murdering pedophile Mark Bridger, who was an avid viewer of child pornography, Cameron leapt to abandon his conservative ideals and swing the hammer of censorship without stopping to ask the single most pertinent question: How did Mark Bridger find this child pornography in the first place?
Last Thursday, my almost-eight-year-old son's innocence was forever tainted when he discovered, through a Google search, bare-naked ladies (not the talented Canadian singing ones), on his iPod touch. We had a 'situation' here and I needed to deal with it. I didn't want my son to think he was that bad or a deviant.
Why is porn not being policed on the net? Regardless of your opinion on the existence of porn in the world at large, children of any age SHOULD NOT have access to it. This is serious stuff. It deserves our undivided attention. Especially because kids, by and large, learn much by modelling behaviour they see.
A few weeks ago, my newsfeed was filled with stories from this year's Sundance Film Festival: "Record Number of Female Directors!" However, what little information I could find about the films centering around women with sexual storylines led to utter disappointment -- did they all just happen to be really dark, or is the female perspective on sex an utter failure?

Underbite Correction without Surgery
Dr. Sam Muslin was Awarded LA's Best Cosmetic Dentist for 2016
Santa Monica • Beverly Hills • Los Angeles
Under bite correction is recommended when the lower jaw is larger than the upper jaw. These patients have a protruding and over-emphasized chin and generally have a malocclusion that creates significant cosmetic problems. Generally with an underbite, the lower and the upper teeth do not touch. When they do not touch, they shift and get more crowded or crooked in appearance.
Underbite Correction - Before and After Photo
The patient is biting his teeth together in both the before and after photos. Under Bite Correction with Face Lift Dentistry® can dramatically improve your life by idealizing the proportions of the teeth, improving your profile, and creating a healthy bite.
Are Orthognathic Jaw Surgery and Braces the Only Underbite Correction Solution?
No! There is a non-surgical option that can improve the bite, sometimes optimize the bite without surgery and without braces in as little as a week or two. Dr. Sam Muslin's exclusive non-surgical underbite correction Face Lift Dentistry® treatment can help a patient change their lives very quickly. This is an advanced cosmetic dental treatment with huge health benefits and very little risk.
Patients Fly in from all over the World
This treatment method will be available to the dental community soon but until other dentists are trained, patients will have to fly in to Santa Monica California. This patient will tell you that the trip was worth it because he saved years of dental visits, he saved years of wearing braces and he saved hospital time along with the risks of jaw surgery.
This patient did not like her smile or her underbite and she wanted a non-invasive underbite correction solution. She had been to several doctors that recommended jaw surgery and then braces. The long healing time and potential complications associated with surgery was not something she wanted to endure. In addition, she had no interest in the two year time estimate given for orthodontic work.
Non-Surgical Underbite Treatment
In this video Dr. Muslin explains non-surgical alternatives to treat underbite correction with the VENLAY® restorations
Not only was she suffering from a bad bite but her lower teeth were standing too tall. This occurs when the lower and upper teeth do not make contact. As a result the lower teeth erupt too far out of the lower jaw bone. With the lower teeth standing too tall and out in front of everything else, her upper teeth were barely visible when she spoke.
A Narrow Upper Arch
Her upper arch was much narrower than her lower arch and this left her face out of balance. Her upper teeth actually fit inside of her lower teeth which caused her lower law and chin to look quite large. In order for her to bite down and chew she had to slide her lower jaw even farther forward to allow her molars to make contact. With her upper teeth actually fitting inside of her lower teeth, her entire face was left short and round and her lower lip stuck out farther than her upper lip.
Underbite Correction Facial Profile - Before and After Photo
She came to Dr. Muslin because she wanted an underbite correction solution that would address her cosmetic concerns and her health issues at the same time. Many dentists try to develop a beautiful smile but Dr. Muslin's goes beyond the teeth to maximize the results for the entire face, jaw, and profile.
Using the latest technology he studies the shape and proportions of each patient's face along with the functional dynamics of the jaw and bite. With this data he then designs an ideal bite and jaw position that maximizes your health but also improves the overall shape and length of your face.
Dr. Muslin needed to develop a comfortable position for her jaw, and create a bite where she could chew normally. To accomplish these goals Dr Muslin had to three dimensionally re-build all of her upper teeth and several of her lower rear teeth using his trademarked treatment Face Lift Dentistry. He was able to improve the comfort of her jaw and correct the bite without surgery and without any healing time. Her problem was eliminated and now she can chew with ease.
Non-Invasive Cosmetic Benefits
Using a non-invasive strategy, Dr. Muslin aesthetically re-shaped the lower teeth and then developed a totally custom porcelain color for her upper teeth. In order to achieve a totally natural look, the color and the translucency of the porcelain had to match the color and the translucency of the natural lower teeth. Since Dr. Muslin was able to develop this perfect match the patient avoided veneering all of her lower teeth. Her jaw position has been improved both aesthetically and functionally. The Face Lift Dentistry® solution has allowed her bite to match up ideally for comfortable chewing. She no longer has to shove her jaw forward to make chewing possible.
Her facial shape has gone from a short and round to a more refined oval shape with a clean jawline. The size and shape of her teeth were re-proportioned to achieve a smile that compliments her face but still looks natural. For the first time in her life she can smile comfortably and confidently. Underbite correction without surgery is indeed possible!

Okay, if you are like me then you are most likely the kind of guy ( or lady) that stays after the credits for EVERYTHING especially games. Games have a large tendency to put little stingers that tease the next game or are just a further easter egg. I'm always sitting through credits but I had an experience yesterday that I've had several other times with some games. Repeating credits. I beat Hitman Absolution last night and the story wrapped nicely but of course I was wondering if there was going to be that stinger setting up for 47's next adventure. So I waited....I loaded up Giantbomb on my phone. Checked twitter etc... while waiting. I then started to think to myself "Gee, these credits are extremely long....." Then I started to really pay attention and realized that the credits kept on scrolling over and over with no real clear "break" to let you know that. This needs to stop! I wish I could remember but I know ive seen other games guilty of this as well. Scroll the credits and be done. If you don't have any little neat bonus thing thats fine but c'mon man I spent like 30-40 minutes last night waiting through credits that never ended because unless you were paying utmost attention there was no clear break to show you where it started to loop at least make it obvious that the credit scroll is looping.
I wasted 30 minutes watching credits scroll on loop. This shit needs to stop.

Friday's game one saw strong performances behind guards Jacob Champoux and E-J Farris, scoring nine and 13 respectively. The Warriors took a 25-point lead by halftime and would never look back as they take game one easily, 100-72.
As for game two, this one was a lot closer. The Warriors actually trailed 40-28 at halftime but scored 71 points in the second half, including 31 points on 10-of-12 shooting from Farris. He would finish the game with 41 total, which is the fifth most in Warrior, single-game history, and the Warriors would stay undefeated as they take it
99-88. The Warrior men will next play on Friday at Boise State in an exhibition game.

Collection takes on myths about American Muslims
Milwaukee Public Library, UW-Milwaukee plan events to improve understanding of Islam
So, here are a few things you might not know about Islam:
It has a long history in the Americas, arriving with slaves from West Africa as early as the 1600s. One of the bestselling poets in America over the last decadeis the 13th century Muslim mystic Jalaluddin Rumi.
And remember the blues? That quintessentially American musical art form? Some scholars believe it may have evolved in part from those West African Muslims' religious practices.
Those are just some of the revelations to emerge from a collection of books and other materials now available at hundreds of libraries across the country, under a program financed by the American Library Association and the National Endowment for the Humanities.
"The Bridging Cultures Bookshelf: Muslim Journeys" — a collection of 25 books and other materials — is in more than two dozen libraries across Wisconsin, including several in the Milwaukee area. But two local libraries, Milwaukee Public Library's downtown branch and the Golda Meir Library at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, are taking readers further, with an exhibit and programs exploring Islam in the arts and the American Muslim experience.
"The purpose is to raise awareness of Islam in the United States and to dispel the myths that this is a foreign religion or a new phenomenon," said Ahmed Kraima, multicultural librarian at UWM.
"People are surprised to learn that there were Muslims here in the 1950s and '60s," he said. "But Islam has been part of American life for more than 300 years."
Both libraries' programs are coups of sorts. Milwaukee Public is one of six in the country to play host to the "Poetic Voices of the Muslim World," an 18-panel traveling exhibit that traces the art form from the ancient oral traditions to its contemporary uses in politics and popular culture.
And the Golda Meir Library is one of just four in the state to play host to a series of scholar-led talks, funded by the NEH, on some of the books in the Muslim Journeys collection.
The UWM series, which runs through March, is focusing on five titles that explore the American Muslim experience. It opened this month with a discussion of "Prince Among Slaves," Terry Alford's 1994 biography of Abd al Rahman Ibrahima, the educated and aristocratic son of a West African king, who was captured and sold into slavery in America.
"Some historians believe as many as 40% or more of slaves were Muslim," said Janan Najeeb of the Muslim Women's Coalition and Muslim Resource Center, which are teaming up with UWM on the lecture series.
Upcoming discussions involving two other books will highlight two memoirs: "Acts of Faith," by Interfaith Youth Core founder Eboo Patel; and "The Butterfly Mosque," G. Willow Wilson's 2010 story of love and her conversion to Islam.
A limited number of readers can get copies of those books from the UWM library to take part in those discussions.
The Milwaukee Public Library, which is collaborating with Marquette University on its programs, is also playing host to events in conjunction with its Poetic Voices exhibits.
In one of the more intriguing sessions, historian Sylviane A. Diouf of the New York Public Library's Schomburg Center for Research on Black Culture will use audio recordings to explore the similarities between early blues and the African Muslims' call to prayer. Her theory, that the blues with its call-and-response format may have evolved from Muslim religious practice, challenges the mainstream narrative on the origins of the genre.
The Muslim Journeys Bookshelf has not been without controversy, derided on anti-Muslim websites as propaganda and drawing small protests in some communities.
In August, about a dozen protesters from the group ACT! for America disrupted a discussion at the Orland Park Library in suburban Chicago, said Lainie Castle of the American Library Association. And last month, parents near Austin, Texas, raised concerns after their students took part in a discussion of one of the books — Hisham Matar's critically acclaimed "In the Country of Men" — as part of their world geography class.
Najeeb and Milwaukee Public librarian Jennifer Heidel said there have been no protests locally, and Heidel called the response to the "Poetic Voices" exhibit "overwhelmingly positive."
Peter Mandaville, who worked on the Bookshelf project as co-director of the Ali Vural Ak Center for Islamic Studies at George Mason University, said critics don't fully understand the content of the books, which touch on myriad aspects of the Muslim life and culture, including totalitarian regimes in some countries.
"This is not a set of books that extol Islam. They're works of scholarship and fiction that deal with various aspects of Islam and serve as a basis for discussion," Mandaville said.
"If local librarians wanted to set up a series on how evil and backward Islam is, it's something they could do with the same books."

Riot, at some point, decided that writing lore for League of Legends was either too expensive or too unprofitable to continue. Luckily, when they gave Penny-Arcade duo Jerry Holkins and Mike Krahulik the opportunity to create a Sneak Peek for a new champion, they decided to create both a comic and bring back the retired League Judgment for one more round. Thus we were introduced to Varus, the Arrow of Retribution.
Just for PAX, Riot Games gave sneak peeks of two different champions this week. The first, Hecarim the Shadow of War, was fully revealed with his skill-set earlier this week. Varus, who was introduced this morning, has only been provided a comic and judgment. We expect to hear more soon though, because both of these new characters are fully playable at PAX.
Jerry really knocks it out of the park with his wonderfully-worded judgment for Varus. While Varus himself may not have the most creative history, Jerry paints him as one of the most exciting League champions in months. I only hope Varus sells extremely well, so the argument can be made for Judgments to return full-time.
Check out Varus' sneak peak below, which was released just this morning. Expect him to be released on League of Legends, if he is to follow Hecarim, in two and a half more weeks.

after cotto,floyds next 2 fights
providing floyd beats cotto-which i think he will,then who do you think he will fight next?.hes already mentioned fighting at the end of this year again(obviously assuming he comes out of jail o.k)being a pacquiao fan i would have loved the mega fight but i feel this is now 3 years past its sell by date in regards to pacquiao having any sort of chance of winning,ive also got bored of the constant will they/wont they fight.so presuming floyd wins vs cotto your probably looking at alvarez(same card tonight 2nd time in row,gbp fighter) khan(presuming he beats peterson,although this could possibly be the fight after) martinez(at a catchweight,floyd has mentioned this) the only other possibles are ortiz/berto.would martinez-nov/dec then khan/alvarez-next may please and suit everybody??/

He'll be fighting Cotto again because there's a rematch clause in the contract if Cotto wins.

Depends on when he fights. If he fights in December again, it'll probably be either Berto (if he beats Ortiz), Alvarez (if he beats a Top SWW first), or possibly Khan (if he beats Peterson).
I'd be good with Andre Berto, because if Berto beats Ortiz, he'll have wins over Collazo-Hernandez-Zaveck-Ortiz, and will be the top WW aside from Floyd and Pac. I'd be good with Alvarez as well, only if he beats a Top SWW first in September, someone like Kirkland or Molina are the most realistic. I'd rather see Mayweather-Khan when Khan beats a Top WW first, so I wouldn't want that fight until 2013 most likely.

If Cotto beats Floyd, I'll cry tears of joy because Cotto is one of my faves, and sadness because Floyd too is one of my all time faves. Mixed emotions would be an understatement!

Training to become an amateur figther
So, today I told my trainer I want to be an amateur fighter. He told me to train my hardest for 6 months 3 times a week and show him I'm improving. But 3 times a week seems like so little training to me. What do you guys think, should I do some additional running? Or perhaps something else? My gym is open 5 days a week, so I could go more often. You think thats a good idea? I'd like to hear your thoughts!

well do roadwork of course, you can do that on the offdays, run longer and harder.
but your trainer is letting you rest between grueling workouts, i'm assuming, it does need to recuperate.
if you wanna train 5 days a week, you're gonna have to train at a lower intensity, so your body can keep up and not risk injury and such.

for a beginner, 3 days a week is fine for 6-8 weeks. you can then later try all 5 days. on the side, swim or jog a lot

After taking a romantic late-summer Hawaiian getaway with beau Jason Trawick, Britney Spears headed back to L.A. for Labor Day weekend. Not so long ago the singer might have spent the holiday partying and driving the streets of Hollywood. But this time her only plan was to kick back at her place with her three favorite guys: Trawick, 38, and sons Preston, 5, and Jayden, 4. In fact, says an insider, "they didn't head out at all."
If that sounds a bit dull, it's a welcome change in a life once defined by drama. After being hospitalized for mental illness in 2008, Spears, 28, has traded chaos for a more laid-back life. "She's doing a lot better these days," says a source who has known her for years. "She's come a long way." Once known for her tearful outbursts, Spears can't stop smiling-chalk it up to a thriving romance with Trawick, excitement over an upcoming guest spot on Glee and seeing herself land the No. 6 spot on the Forbes Celebrity 100 list (her Circus tour last year took in $130 million). Best of all, friends say she's enjoyed a quiet summer bonding with her sons. "It's pretty exciting for her," says the insider of all the good news. "She's doing great."
Those closest to the pop star say she has always been happiest when she's busy. And between motherhood (she shares custody with ex Kevin Federline, 32) and music (she's working on a new album), there has been little time for her to give in to the demons that provoked her instability. "She is always so happy when she has a focus," a source close to Spears' family says of the singer, who spends her downtime tanning by the pool, shopping online, exercising and watching movies. "Britney gets very depressed when she sits around the house."
After being placed in emergency psychiatric care in '08, Spears temporarily lost custody of her sons-an experience she is determined not to repeat. "Britney has made a lot of progress with her boys this year and seems more in tune about their needs," says the source close to her family. (The singer took court-ordered parenting classes after her split with Federline.) "She tries to plan fun activities she and the boys can share," adds the source. "The boys love Disneyland and going to the movies, and it's cute to see how excited she is when she gets to share fun outings with them." With the help of a full-time nanny, the Louisiana native is also trying to instill good values and discipline. "She is big on her boys using 'please' and 'thank you,'" says the source. The positive impact is reciprocal: "Preston and Jayden make her extremely happy, and she would never do anything to jeopardize her relationship with them again," says the source. "She'll make sure to stay healthy for them."
How healthy is she? According to people close to Spears, she is getting help for depression and mood swings. (In the past, two separate sources close to the singer told PEOPLE she may suffer from bipolar disorder.) Just as important, her protective inner circle, which includes Trawick, her family ("She is more involved with them now than ever before," says a family friend in her hometown of Kentwood, La.) and former assistant Brett Miller, helps keep Spears healthy. "She is surrounded now by people who aren't taking advantage of her," says the source who has known the pop star for years. "They're trying to make sure she does the right thing. She's in much better hands."
The most important force in Spears' life remains her father, Jamie, who controls her comings and goings as well as her vast fortune (both with court supervision) through a conservatorship established after the '08 hospitalization. Once he got involved, things started turning around for her, but to this day, says the insider, "nobody knows when it will end." The source close to her family says Spears "is constantly nagging and begging her dad to go to court and ask for the conservatorship to be over." For his part, Jamie is also said to want the arrangement to end and no longer requires his daughter to ask permission to go out (though he does keep tabs on her through her bodyguards). Says the insider: "She's really calling the shots now."
Still, Britney won't be completely in charge of her life until a doctor decides she's capable of taking care of herself-and a judge agrees. "This doesn't mean Britney has to be free of mental illness," explains Jeffrey S. Cohen, a Los Angeles attorney specializing in conservatorships. Cohen, who has not worked with the singer, adds that "just because it's still going doesn't mean she's a wreck. The court may just keep things status quo to err on the side of caution."
No one is claiming she's made a full recovery. "She has her moments, sure," admits the insider, "but so does everyone." While Glee cast members have gushed about her recently taped guest spot, the source close to the family reveals Spears had anxiety about it. "Britney gets nervous when she's in the spotlight now because she is not used to it anymore." Earlier this summer there were a few public spats with Trawick (though "things are great with them right now," says the insider). There were also issues after Britney's Circus tour ended last fall: Jamie had agreed to let her drive on her own, but he decided to rein her in after she began to show signs of her formerly erratic self. Says the source close to the family: "Britney quickly got back into her old antics of driving around aimlessly for hours."
But that type of behavior is now the exception, not the norm. "She seems more like her pre-breakdown self," adds the Kentwood friend. "I think she's enjoying her life more and her family more. She seems happier than I've seen her in a long time."

Codie Scott and Kyle Kelting shot 9-under 63 in Saturday's low-ball format to take a two-shot lead into today's final round of the 10th Annual Coors Partnership at Comanche Trail.
The father-son team of Tom and Will Doughtie matched that 9-under round of 63 to position themselves for the concluding round, which is a modified chapman (alternate-shot) format.
Scott and Kelting are at 19-under 123, while the Doughties are at 17-under 125.
Brad Borden and Greg Golladay, who began round two with a share of the lead after opening with a 13-under 59 in Friday's scramble format, shot 5-under 67 in low-ball for a 16-under total of 126. They are a shot back of the Doughties, and three back of the leaders.
Jeff Yarbrough and Chuck Blanton, who shared the first-round lead, had a 2-under 70 for a 15-under 129 total - six shots off the pace.
Scott and Kelting played their front nine in 4-under 32, with birdies at 3, 5, 6 and 9. They birdied 10, 12, 14, 16 and 18 on the back side for a 5-under 31 and 63 total.
The Doughties played the front side in 5-under 31, with birdies at 2, 4, 5, 6 and 9. They birdied 10, 12, 14 and 17 getting to the clubhouse for their round of 63.
If Scott and Kelting win, Scott would join next week's Tournament of Champions qualifiers. A win by the Doughties would get Will into next week's elite event.
To date, there are eight qualifiers for the T of C. They include Tom Doughtie, Steve Rogers, Kelting, Robert Evans, Josh Duckworth, Brent Bullard, Ralph Ellis and Reid Sidwell.

A gripping World Cup final ended with a superb goal by Mario Goetze that earned Germany its fourth world title with a 1-0 win over Argentina in the 2014 World Cup. He was just one of many players on both squads who responded admirably to the big occasion.
Player Ratings:
7 Manuel Neuer (Bayern Munich).He smothered several dangerous balls by quick, confident challenges and handled shots and crosses flawlessly. A few shots that could have tested him went wide yet he was well-positioned to handle them if needed. One of the world's top keepers deserves his world title.
8 Philipp Lahm(Bayern Munich).The inspirational leader worked and ran for the entire 120 minutes, hit numerous crosses that required top-class defending, as did his occasional runs inside. He gave good service at defensive mid early in the tournament as Sami Khedira healed, and when restored to his primary position confirmed his status as world-class.
7 Jerome Boateng(Bayern Munich).His acrobatic clearance after Lionel Messi had knocked a ball into the six-yard box exemplified an excellent performance. He covered more and more ground as a few of his teammates fatigued.
7 Mats Hummels (Borussia Dortmund).Obviously tired, he really labored through extra time and wisely chose not to dive into tackles he would have missed. A decisive slide tackle stopped Sergio Aguero near the sideline in regulation, and he continued to battle on the ground and in the air as Germany drained the life out of Argentina's attack.
5 Benedikt Hoewedes (Schalke 04).Argentina found much of its success going at him, and at the other end he crashed a corner kick against the post from close range while unmarked.
4 Christoph Kramer (Bor. M'Gladbach).The last-minute replacement for Khedira, who injured himself in the pre-game warmup, looked completely lost and needed to be substituted after being injured in a fearsome collision.
8 Bastian Schweinsteiger(Bayern Munich).Defused a few promising Argentine attacks by decisive tackles and interception and his crisp passes to Thomas Mueller and Lahm initiated many offensive sequences. Took a few fierce hits late in the match and needed medical attention for a cut under his right eye.
4 Toni Kroos(Bayern Munich).Atrocious back pass provided Gonzalo Higuain with a great scoring chance. He hit a couple of very weak shots from good spots. Delivered the accurate corner kick that Hoewedes drilled off the goalpost.
6 Mesut Ozil (Arsenal).Looked lively and inventive at times but his influence waned after the substitution that took Kramer out of the game. For all his clean touches in the attacking third he could have done more with a shot or final pass.
5 Thomas Mueller(Bayern Munich).A strong start gradually gave way to poor decisions and ineffective touches. He was a bit unlucky to be offside when Hoewedes' header came off the post and struck him, thus causing an offside situation. He set up a good chance with a run and cross while briefly stationed on the left.
4 Miroslav Klose (Lazio).The final game of his excellent career didn't produce much, as the Argentine centerbacks neutralized him and he couldn't shake free to find the ball.
6 Andre Schuerrle (Chelsea).Hit a couple of terrible shots and ran into double-teams from the left side, but sharpened his touches as the game unfolded. Set up the goal by measuring time and space perfectly to curl an excellent ball.
8 Mario Goetze(Bayern Munich).He did just what an attacking sub is supposed to do, and made up for a tepid shot in the final minute of regulation by cushioning Schuerrle's cross on his chest and volleying a superb shot inside the far post.
NR Per Mertesacker (Arsenal).Last-minute sub won a header as Germany closed outits fourth world title.
7 Sergio Romero (Monaco).Batted away a point-blank shot by Schuerrle in extra time and came up with several other sharp plays to punctuate a very solid performance in this game and a very good World Cup.
5 Pablo Zabaleta (Man. City).Got forward on occasion to support the attack but was beaten cleanly by Mueller to produce a good chance and couldn't stop Schuerrle from setting up the German goal.
7 Martin Demichelis (Man. City).Dominated in the air and won numerous tackles against many of his former Bayern Munich teammates and was the primary cause of Klose being substituted in the second half. He split open the German midfield a few times with balls to Ezequiel Lavezzi and Messi.
7 Ezequiel Garay (Benfica).Powerful clearances and confident challenges thwarted the Germans on many occasions.Like Demichelis, he didn't get much notice until the knockout rounds as Argentina chalked up shutout after shutout, but he played a major role in his team reaching the final.
5 Marcos Rojo (Sporting Lisbon).Dished out a few crunching tackles and won some physical duels but too often wasn't quick enough to challenge crosses from his side. Was also beaten in the air trying to protect the back post.
7 Javier Mascherano (Barcelona).He concluded an exemplarytournament with another solid performance, though he risked being sent off with a pair of hard challenges after being cautioned. Raced back in the final minute of regulation to jostle Goetze enough to force a weak shot.
6 Lucas Biglia (Lazio).Solid and strong defensively, he surprised the Germans occasionally by getting upfield to support the attack. Perhaps could have been more aggressive shifting out wide, but he obviously had been deployed to bottle up the middle and did stop Lahm from cutting inside a couple of times.
5 Ezequiel Lavezzi (Paris SG).Caused Germany some problems with his diagonal runs and dribbles down the right flank. Nailed an excellent cross that produced a goal disallowed for offside. A bit puzzling that he came off at halftime.
4 Enzo Perez (Benfica).Produced a few promising moments in the attack but did nothing defensively to contain Lahm and Mueller, and his influence steadily faded until he was substituted late in regulation.
4 Lionel Messi (Barcelona).Suffice to stay, he didn't come through in the final nor in the semifinal as his country needed him to do. Whether because of fatigue or nerves, he rarely caused major problems for Germany, though he did scythe up the right side twice without producing a crisp final pass or dangerous shot. Concluded his World Cup with a terrible free kick way over the bar from an impossible distance when the situation demanded a ball driven into the box.
3 Gonzalo Higuain (Napoli).Drifted unforgivably to put away Lavezzi's cross from an offside position and shot wide when put through cleanly by a defensive miscue. He took a hard hit from keeper Neuer chasing a ball and came off in the 78th minute of a game in which he needed to do more.
5 Sergio Aguero (Man. City).He brought a lot of energy as a second-half sub but considering he played a lot of minutes against fatigued opponents he seldom impressed, and was cautioned after losing the ball for cracking Schweinsteiger trying to get it back.
4 Rodrigo Palacio (Inter Milan).His teammates put him into good spots a few times without reward.
4 Fernando Gago (Boca Juniors).Argentina's midfield play steadily deteriorated after his entry late in regulation.

What is there to say? I am basically a hikikomori type of person, though I do leave my room to go places I just don't go out with people. Some would also say I am like an otaku due to my anime/manga/video game collection/knowledge. At the moment, I am collecting plush toys with 51 at the moment with another 16 or so coming from ebay.
