Interior design – when art meets objectives
Your home is your personal castle, a private zone where you retreat to from the rest of the world. It's decor reflects who you really are, not just your aesthetic values. But the influenza goes the other way around too. You'd be surprised how changing your home surroundings can revitalize your lifestyle, everyday's atmosphere at home, even change your dominant mood.
True design is art optimized to meet objectives. Professional designers are trained and talented to add a whole new energy to your living space through reusing, repurposing or renewing pieces of current interior. Whether you prefer traditional or modern style, retro or classic taste, or some mixture of these, they will hone your style and ideas down and convert them into functional interior desing that suits the needs of your space, but also feels natural to you.
Buying a new furniture, re-doing the walls or choosing different flooring will certainly change your home effectively. But if these changes are too much for your present budget, professional designer can refresh your decor significantly using smaller changes as well. Dressing up your windows with new elegant curtains or rearranging pillows and blankets will certainly spruce up the room. Stacking the bookshelves with flowers, picking new frames for wall paintings, using mirrors to make small space seem larger or spreading new rugs and floor
runners also make dramatic difference. Decorative lighting is a clever way to bring
out the shape of objects, the "feel" of texture, and important keynotes.
Interior decorating
If you're not a designer or you are new to the built arts, there's a lot to learn about making beautiful interior spaces.
It's usual to have a small room that you have big plans for. I'm in full support of making the most of your oblong footage. In order to do that, you're going to want to use brighter colors. Darker colors feel comfy, but trigger our primal instincts and make us think back on the days of cave dwelling. Maximize light, and any sight out of windows to keep away from this. Use lines that draw your eyes around the space so that you can give the mirage of a wider or taller room. Verticals will make the space feel taller, while horizontals will make it feel wider. Make the most of any furniture you put in there. You might want to think about a nice sofa that has a folding seat where you can put books inside of.

Eleven Fancy Tips for Dining Rooms
1. Choose the yellow accents to shine by picking modern, and clean lines on the windows, walls, and the floor. Asthe sun breaks through gray skies, this is the perfect color combination.
4. Do you really need a formal dining room throughout a whole year? For Thanksgiving dinner, this one is ordinary enough and comfortable enough—with some extra seating off to the side—for chilling in weekend afternoons. If the square footage is small, then a petite, round table is a smart idea to use the space.
5. Louis-style chairs are antique and traditional pieces, which can feel intimidating when placed together. However, this room keeps a fresh face with different neutrals, such as whites, creams, and sage green that are scattered through the space.
6. If you prefer one bold color, do it! However, make sure to keep the competition in check—or, here, in toile. By using a single two-toned fabric on the chairs and curtains, the whole patterned effect is comfortable for the eyes.
7. A whitewashed farmhouse-style table, airy window treatments, and clean walls are a perfect match for a light-filled room with a fine view. Make sure you keep the total look grounded with the enough quantity of texture thats presented with a set of woven and rustic chairs.
10. For floors, walls, and even furniture pick white color. This is a good solution for those people who prefer a modern aesthetic look. Stress out textured pieces and accents to soften up the place. Here, cushioned chairs grouped in a sophisticated form will keep the white lacquer Parsons-style table from looking too stark.
How to choose right furniture for your home
Design and fabrics of the furniture is changing by the hours. Designers are constantly setting up new fashionable trends that not many of common people can fallow. But how to choose right furniture for the house that would look in the same time modern, cozy and not too cheap. In order to succeed in that task, you must fell in love whit its form, beauty and texture. Set up your budget in advance and be organized.
1. Find your style
Select a style that will suit you the most and follow that lead. You would need to set up a theme for space you intend to furnish; there is a large variety of furniture, selection is a vast, so you will never run out of the options. Whether you choose modern, vintage, casual or electric you must adjust it by your own need and that will be your starting point.
2. Try not to over run your budget
When you are buying furniture don't spend vast amounts of money on furniture that too expensive for your pockets. Try to balance it. It doesn't do you any good if you go wild whit spending and only partly furnish your home and the rest of it stays vacant. That kind of a house doesn't look to homey and inviting.
3. Buy a furniture whit solid construction
You will want a piece of furniture in your home that is solid and heavy, something that will last, and have classical look, so that you won't have to replace it next year. Avoid buying anything that has particleboard, light aluminum frames and stick with solid wood construction. Before buying it you must sit on it and try it. It doesn't matter that something is beautiful if it's not comfortable.
4. Choose appropriate texture and color
This all depend on your preferences if you are more of a leather type or fabric type. With each of one, you can't go wrong. Leather has more serious approach, while fabric is used more for cozy and relaxed environment. If the furniture is used more frequently it's recommended that you buy it in darker shades. Considering the color, you must take into a consideration your surroundings and adjust furniture by the color of your walls.
5. Look for unexpected
If you find some piece of furniture that looks odd but in the same time beautiful and appealing, regardless you should buy it and make him some place in your home. It shouldn't represent a problem if it doesn't fit in your space. You will need something like your personal stamp. You living place should reflect your personality.
6. Don't let anyone hurry you
This is a long process; you will need lot of time to decide what type of furniture you are going to buy. Price evaluation will be in order. You will be assaulted whit different styles, textures and colors. So don't let anyone rush you, once you buy it it's a done deed and you can easily make mistake.
How to design your bathroom?
Bathroom may be the smallest room in your home but precisely that makes them so suitable for frequent changes, painting your walls and adding new tiles isn't expensive al all and it doesn't require much of your time, but it can make your bathroom look completely different. We all have the idea of how our dream bathroom would look like, but important thing to know when you want to update or design your own bathroom is that you should consider your home and choose the bathroom that goes with it.
If you have a small bathroom the best thing you could do is buy shelves and cabinets that can be used as a hidden storage. Does it exist something better than a cabinet disguised as a mirror, never goes out of style and it is fully functional, aren't multifunction thing just great?
Wall hanging units can make your bathroom visually bigger by maximizing the floor space, so move everything from your floors and stack them in your cabinets. If you don't want large cabinets hanging over your head everywhere you can try putting your colorful towels on open and floating shelves. Interesting thing to do may be painting you old ladders and making them your bathroom shelf.
If you want to paint the walls in your bathroom be sure to paint them in some neutral color it will make your bathroom feel calming and natural. White color can make your bathroom look cleaner, but don't forget to put a little color in it, if nothing else, stack your towels in different colors and shades on floating shelves or hang your colorful robes that will give your bathroom your personal touch. You could paint your mirrors frame, and put stylish soap dishes in same color and embellish your bathroom that way.
Picking tiles for your bathroom can be a tricky job, sizes, shapes and colors of tiles are various but you should use light colored ones. If you can, use the same ones for floors and walls it will make your bathroom look bigger, and don't use contrasting colors in any case. Larger tiles can make your bathroom look bigger and larger depending on how you place them.

The death of a spouse is different for everyone because the circumstances surrounding his or her passing are different. It can be sudden and jarring, it can be expected and traumatic, or it can even be a numbing, unbelievable experience. However you are feeling after the passing of your spouse, your feelings are valid, and you can work through them.
Expect Pain, Welcome Happiness
Social norms and peer pressure can make grieving even more difficult than it already is. Instead of focusing on what's expected of you, focus on what is going on in the present moment. When mourning the death of a spouse, you can definitely expect pain, but there are moments of happiness. Instead of feeling guilty in those moments of relief, appreciate them and trust that you're healing. If you notice a pattern in the happy moments, such as spending time with your children or grandchildren, reading a book, or talking with friends, try to spend time doing that activity at least three to four times a week. This will help break up the feelings of pain without stuffing them down, so you can enjoy some activities that make you feel like you.
Join a Bereavement Group or Counseling
One of the difficulties of losing a spouse is feeling isolated by your pain. Joining a bereavement group or counseling can help you process your emotions and give you solid coping mechanisms to help you move forward. Joining a group or counseling also helps you to get out of bed at least once a week, and puts you face to face with other people. While you don't want to push yourself, you don't want to be a hermit, either. If bereavement groups or counseling aren't quite your style, try a class in pottery, painting, writing or anything else you may find interesting. Gaining a new skill will help you release the pain for a little bit, while you focus your attention on what you're learning.
Get a Support Partner
A support partner is someone who agrees to support you through your grieving period. Your support partner can be a grown child, a sibling, a friend or even someone from your bereavement group who is further along the healing road than you are. This is the person who comes over to help you eat, keep you company, and get you out of the house for a little while. This type of relationship can help keep you healthy while you go through your mourning period.
Spend Time in Nature
According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, spending time in nature can reduce stress and improve your outlook on life. If you can take a thirty-minute walk three days a week with your support partner, it will help you healthily process your emotions and reduce feelings of depression and anxiety, which will help you continue living and enjoying your life.

CIRShort for committed information rate, a specified amount of guaranteed bandwidth (measured in bits per second) on a Frame Relay service. Typically, when purchasing a Frame Relay service, a company can specify the CIR level they wish. The Frame Relay network vendor guarantees that frames not exceeding this level will be delivered. It's possible that additional traffic may also be delivered, but it's not guaranteed.
Some Frame Relay vendors offer inexpensive services with a CIR equal to zero. This essentially means that the network will deliver as many frames as it can, but it doesn't guarantee any bandwidth level.

The Shelby County Board of education approved the unaudited financial report during their regular board meeting Thursday, but not before voicing concern.
Board member Andrew Cline shared his displeasure for a change in legislation requiring school boards to publish their unaudited report in local newspapers.
Cline said publishing the unaudited report shortly before the audited report is available could cause confusion. "There will be updated audited financial statements that go out in November," he said.

James Gunn says caring about 'Guardians Of The Galaxy' was terrifying for him
LONDON -- If we're being perfectly honest, I feel guilty interviewing any director on any set.
Directors may not be doing manual labor like breaking rocks or carrying pianos all day, but especially on giant mega-budget studio movies, they are pretty much on call 24 hours a day for three years, and I feel bad about taking any of the limited energy they have to spend during their day. I remember going to the editing room near the end of production on "Pirates Of The Caribbean: At World's End," and Gore Verbinski looked at me like he had just gotten back from three tours in 'Nam. Disney wasn't even letting him drive anymore. He was that tired.
Maybe that's why James Gunn's intense level of energy on the set of "Guardians Of The Galaxy" felt sort of shocking. I've met Gunn several times over the years, and that's him. He's always got this really big energy about him, and he's wicked sharp, and I guess I expected the process to dull some of that just because that's how it works.
Gunn seemed to be perfectly at home on the set. Relaxed but incredibly focused on getting right. Comfortable with what he was doing but well aware of the difficulty of pulling it off. When we ended up posing for the group photo you see above, he was cracking jokes and having fun, and it was amazing to see him still have that much energy that far into the shoot.
Talking to him, he told us right away how this was both like and unlike his earlier work. "I'd say radically different, yes and no. For me, it's just because of the length of it. It makes it a much different experience from doing things like 'Super,' which we shot in 24 days for 3 million dollars. We had to do like 50 sets ups a day, so it was just a harrowing tough experience. This is difficult, but it's because it's over such a long period of time. On a day-to-day basis, it's actually a lot more…"
He stopped himself, considered his next word carefully. "Using the word 'easy' is not the greatest thing but, yeah, it's easier. You do have more time for the set up. You have more time for planning. We had more time for planning, period. The biggest difference is having a lot of people around me I can trust. On most every movie, I have maybe one or two people who I really trust. On 'Super,' I trusted the DP Steve Gaynor an awful lot. I trusted Rainn Wilson an awful lot. But there's a lot of people in independent films who… you're getting who you can get."
Ouch. Gunn went on to talk about how important everyone on this film has been and how he's been able to trust everyone from the production designer Charlie Wood to his assistant Simon, departments both large and small. He also talked about how even if people don't know the characters, there are always expectations on a film this size. "I'm definitely trying to make a huge commercial fun awesome movie that moves people." In terms of having to live up to one specific version of something, though, he's got a huge advantage over, say, whoever directs "Justice League." I'm already wondering if Zack Snyder's a masochist taking on Batman, Wonder Woman, and Superman in one film. If it's possible to be picked to literal death by internet comments, Snyder may indeed be doomed. Any one of those characters alone is a huge deal, but all of them together?
"One of the great things about 'Guardians Of The Galaxy' is there aren't as many expectations on what to expect as when you have 'The Avengers,'" Gunn understated like a boss. "They have 500-plus issues of comics and everybody thinks, 'Oh, well, this is the definitive story, or this is a definitive story, or you know Hawkeye's personality and issues 59 through 70 [are] really where he was defined.' And the truth is Hawkeye changes throughout all those issues of 'Avengers.' I've read 'em all. So I know. With this, there are a lot fewer 'Guardians Of The Galaxy' titles to choose from." He was very frank, continuing, "I'm always hard on myself, no matter what, so that's always like a thing I have to deal with on a daily basis, and that's whether I'm doing this movie or in a relationship with a girl or whatever. I just beat the shit out of myself constantly. Same ol', same 'ol'."
That's not totally true, though. Gunn's doing things here he's never had a chance to do in anything else he's made, and he knows it. "It's a pretty cinematic film and for me it's been really exciting. Every other movie I've been on, I've been very, very restricted by budget in terms of the amount of shots I was able to do and the kind of shots I was able to do. On 'Slither,' I think I was able to afford a crane for two days and had to make do. On this movie, I have 'em carry a crane with me every day and I was able to design all the shots exactly the way I want 'em throughout the whole film. The way I work is I plan every single thing out ahead of time. In this movie, more than any other, I'm able to not only make the scenes that I initially saw in my head, but sometimes be plussed quite a bit by the people around me. Whether it be the performers or the designers or whatever, which has been… it's like the most amazing experience I ever shot with. I thought it was kind of cool in my head and then to come on set and start setting it up and see something really beautiful in it… that's really been the coolest thing."
Asked how he ended up getting the job, since it's not remotely insulting to observe that he was not the most obvious man to make a giant Marvel movie, he talked about how straight-forward the process was. "When I first went to them, I knew that they were going to talk to me about 'Guardians Of The Galaxy,' and um, when I heard about it, it didn't really interest me that much." Talk about having an advantage walking into a room. "I had a meeting in Manhattan Beach and I thought I would get in and try to get them to make a 'Hit-Monkey' movie. I sat down with Jeremy Latcham and Jonathan Schwartz and they pitched me pretty hard on 'Guardians.' I thought they were meeting with a lot of people and that it wasn't as serious as it was. They showed me the art that had been done, and that really spoke to me. I really liked that art work. So I thought about it a little bit while I was sitting down with them, and then I went home and really thought about it and then it just… it just sort of came to me. Not the story, but the visuals. I saw how I could visually see this film, and how I could add my own voice to that and really create something different with it that still had some sort of familiarity. I went home and wrote this 15-page document on the visuals of 'Guardians Of The Galaxy' and what would it be like? What would it be like tonally? What the basics of the character would be like? And I sent it off to those guys and they really liked it. So then I flew to North Carolina a few days later and by then I had drawn up some storyboards and things and had a presentation on my iPad, which I have never done, frankly."
He laughed at the memory, shaking his head. "By the way, I am the most… I have often attributed my success to the fact that I really don't give a shit. Like, if I get a gig or I don't get a gig, I have never, ever, ever cared. And this is the first time in my career that I cared, which was terrifying to me. 'Cause I really did care. I put myself out on the line and went there and did this dog and pony show, and then, you know… I heard a few days later that I'd gotten the gig. At the time, there were five of us, I think that were up at one point, and then three of us. And by the time I went to North Carolina, there were two of us. And then… there was me."
He talked about how lucky he's been in his relationship with Marvel, and how it's felt like they have been in sync the entire time they've been working. "After I wrote the first draft of my screenplay, everybody seemed to be very excited. They seemed to really love the screenplay and Louis D'Esposito and Kevin Feige and everybody were coming to me and telling how great it was. And then Joss came in and Joss was happy, but he wasn't as happy as everybody else, and I was like, 'Whoa, man!' And he's, like, "Well, I really loved this, and this is great, and the story's been cracked, but you know, I just really want there to be more James Gunn in the script. There are things that are too conventional, and I want more James Gunn in it. And Kevin and Lou were like, 'Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,' and I was like, 'All right… your funeral.' Then I went home and I swear to God, I wrote a seven-page scene where the guys are in the spaceship arguing about something and it's all dialogue, and we're about to shoot it on Friday. I think it's been a unique situation where this group of characters is ready for somebody who sees things in the way I see things, and I think frankly people are ready to see the movie like that. So it feels good."

Rated 4 out of 5 by Jason44 Great Location, Great Staff - Current Renovation Project Great stay as always with SPG properties. Loved the location of this hotel (between Chelsea/Meatpacking/Flatiron) and the staff was wonderful. There was a TON of construction occurring this past week (9/2-9/5) as they are currently renovating the property. I didn't notice any additional noise, but the property was very busy (furniture/boxes/workers everywhere). The great news is that renovation workers were overly friendly and courteous to me as a hotel guest. Looking forward to staying here again once it's completed! September 6, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by davidandrebecca10 Great Customer Service The customer service was Great From the time i checked in untill the time i asked for an extended checkout, the service was exceptional. My room had a great view of the empire state building and the room was always clean about 30 min walking distance from time square and 10 min via subway. Onsite Brewhouse had Good Food and good room service food. September 2, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Larkbet Wonderful staff, service and location... Upon arriving at the hotel after a grueling flight , we were greeted by the most pleasant staff. We were swiftly checked in and guided over to the complimentary Happy Hour... As we went up to our room, the staff presented us with lovely cupcakes to enjoy later. We then went to our newly refurbished room with the most comfortable beds and modern decor. Internet, gym, restaurant, everything needed was there!! Great morning coffee in the lobby, too! September 1, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by stanstud This hotel was recently remodelled. it is in a great location This hotel is in a great neighborhood but the rooms are very small for 2 people with luggage. It is the smallest room I have ever shared. To claustrophobic.. Staff is very friendly but I never got the wake up call I requested on morning of departure. August 29, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Steelhead20 Renovations excellent I've stayed in this hotel since it opened and have always felt the staff were excellent. The Mexican restaurant has, thank goodness, been replaced by a brew pub with great burgers and the rooms are comfortable, adequately supplied, and quiet. Location near Penn and some great restaurants. August 27, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by techexec Mixed/low quality, slow elevators, ok staff, sketchy street We had a corner suite top floor which had amazing views of the empire state and Chrysler buildings but the room smelled a little dank and funky. I couldn't tell if the room had been renovated. The room had a mix of low and high quality. Examples of low-quality: beat-up, old furniture that could have been from a garage sale; ugly lighting, dank smell in the carpet and room, clean over dirty grout/caulk, shampoo and shower gel dispensers in the shower that you find in gym showers. Examples of high quality - nice sofa and marble in the bathroom. The check-in staff was not terribly knowledgeable of good restaurants in the area and referred me to one that was closing in 10 minutes. I ended up looking up my restaurant on-line. The street was filled with sketchy characters smoking and on cat call as I lugged my suitcase down the street. For the amount of money, I would probably stay at another SPG hotel in NYC. August 26, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by ryanthemick Perfect Midtown Get-a-way Upon entering the hotel we were met by the most hospitable staff. The staff always greeted us with a smile and seemed very pleasant and accommodating! We even got cupcakes from a local bakery (so good!) for free when we checked in! The room was newly remodeled and clean. Everything was nicely thought out and in a very small room every bit of the space was well adapted to add comfort for the guest. Don't expect to relax in a hot bath, but the shower was clean and roomy. The staff gave us cards for free appetizers and drinks in the restaurant downstairs, the food was wonderful and the service better then we could have expected. The hotel itself is located in a perfect location for the subway and close to Times Square and Broadway. Make sure you walk the couple of blocks to the High Line and walk up the road for pizza ($2.75 for two slices of great pizza and a coke!) Perfect place to stay for the money! Thank you to the staff! August 26, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by ryanthemick Perfect Mid-town Hotel Perfect location! Great rooms with great food at the Brewhouse out front. We'll be back! August 25, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by CdogAustin Getting a much needed renovation Great location for my business needs, exceptionally good rate, and reliable wireless internet. I was in an old room and can see why the hotel is under renovation. I will stay here again, hopefully in an updated room. August 22, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Turio Great location and high quality hotel This hotel is in the process of being completely renovated. We stayed on a newly finished floors. The room was fantastic. Very nice bathroom, nice big windows and good black out shades, nice clean wardrobe, desk and dresser, big TV. Couldn't have been better. Will definitely stay here again! August 18, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by islandgirl1 LOVE THIS HOTEL I have been staying here around 6 years and the staff here is GREAT from the front dest to housekeeping . Always friendly August 13, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by Sindy13 Good location This hotel is conveniently located; however, I paid for a CITY VIEW room and my view was the wall of the next door building. I thought that by booking the CITY VIEW would be a bit better than the TRADITIONAL rooms, but apparently is the same thing? you just pay more? Also the bathrooms were not that clean when I got to my room. I could still see hair from previous guests on the floor. August 7, 2013

Rated 5 out of 5 by projectqueen All Around Excellent Amazingly quiet hotel, not a peep all night, the staff were great. Despite the renovations going - on a wonderful stay. In town over night for business. Agree hotel needs updating but very clean and comfortable as is. Met my priorities - quiet, clean and very professional, friendly staff. Will definitely return. looking forward to seeing the reno! August 2, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Joyeelin Best location Really convience location to access anywhere of manhattan. In addition, a lot of antique shop, furniture shop, art garllary, nice restaurant and weekend market around this hotel. July 28, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by thecherub88 needs updating it's not a bad hotel but the place needs a bit of updating. the staff were great which improved the stay somewhat. July 27, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by Istrian54 Cramped and overpriced Small rooms, loud air conditioner, tight bathroom and musty smell in the room. I would expect that from a cheap motel bit not from a hotel at this price point ($500 per night on the website). July 24, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by Matt987 Worth the Price It was a small room but of course in NY most places are small. It was a little dirty but they were doing a remodle so that is to be expected. I would definatly go back. July 24, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by nikk34 Shower My only complaint would be the water pressure when you are showering. It was so low I felt as if I hadn't showered.I asked a young man that brought me a microwave to my room could anything be done about it and he said no. July 24, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by jj1949 A very comfortable and welcoming hotel If you are looking for a hotel that is reasonable (by New York standards), a good location, comfortable, and friendly, this is the place for you. Staff goes out of their way to be helpful, which goes a long way when you are unfamiliar with the city. July 17, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Susan2 Perfect location! This hotel is in the best location. Walk from Penn Station, all around Chelsea, the Village and Soho. Even convenient to Midtown. The staff is exceptionally service oriented. The hotel is beginning some renovations as the rooms are in need of rejuvenation. That said, it was a pleasant experience and I'd recommend it based on service and value. July 15, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by DB207 Great and comfortable stay We were very impressed with the hotel and the staff. Right in the heart of Chelsea, this hotel was only a couple of blocks from the subway and centrally located. The staff was very knowledgeable about the area and had great recommendations for food. The rooms were a bit small, but this is to be expected in NYC. Thanks for the great stay. We will be back again. July 8, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by hoops7777 good and bad Great staff,great location,old building with some issues.Our room smelled.The elevator smelled.The fitness down in the basement really smelled.The air con is very loud and ran the entire 6 days.The window covering did not cover the bottom of the window so we propped a pillow on top of a waste basket to keep the light out.The place needs a rennovation.Black ceramic tile in the bath?We adjusted and were fine but it was the worst Sheraton I have ever stayed at in regards to the condition of the property.The people were great. July 6, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by KarenWH We Had a Ball! I came to NYC with my mom, 2 sisters and niece. My hubby stayed home. We came for the Fancy Food convention, but had plenty of time to see the city, and found ourselves in the midst of gay pride celebrations. The staff and and accommodations at Four Points were great! The staff was very helpful in giving us directions to the subway and places of interest. The complimentary morning coffee in the lobby was delicious. We would come back in the afternoon, looking for a snack, and there was fresh popcorn and refreshing lemon ice water! The bartenders were handsome and chatty. Our rooms were very clean and comfortable. There's something about the Sheraton's mattresses- they always give me a good night's sleep. They were supposed to be double beds, but they did seem a bit smaller. I believe the comfort of the hotel and the friendliness of the staff contributed to the good mood of the other guests and gave us a great lasting impression of the people of NYC. We had a ball and we are coming back! July 5, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by pricel I love this hotel I am in NYC at least twice a month and have been for years. I bounced around from hotel to hotel for years, until about 4 years ago. Our producer found the 4 Points by Sheraton Chelsea and we haven't left! It is so nice to come into the hotel and be treated like they are glad to see you! We have always had great service and the beds are the most comfortable in NYC! Keep up the great work! See you in July.... June 30, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by empathy Room and bathroom opinion The rooms were astonishingly small. I guess that's the way it is in Manhattan. The shower floor had a yellow tint, making one think that it was never scrubbed. Other than that, no problems. It was nice of the hotel to provide a microwave and fridge upon request. June 29, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by Verified Reviewer Too much for what i paid for Room is too little, beds where extremely small for 2 people, i had to sleep in one bed and my wife in the other and we are fit persons, beds would bend in the middle. Every morning I would wake up with bach spasm. June 28, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by bschul Need to upgrade fitness center You keep the fitness center in the basement in a tiny room. There is barely room for 2 people when they work out. I am 77 years old, many more younger people, as well as myself, use fitness rooms when they travel. You need to improve this facility. June 27, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Grace2013 Cleanliness The room was clean and had everything I needed for my stay. I will definitely stay there again!!! The staff was extremely helpful!!! June 19, 2013

Brisbane: England wicketkeeper Matt Prior completed training on Tuesday, raising hopes he will be fit to play in this week's Ashes opener against Australia at Brisbane's Gabba ground.
Prior, 31, batted for an hour against a variety of bowlers in the nets and practised some wicketkeeping drills before Thursday's first Test. He wore strapping tape over the left calf he injured during England's warm-up match against Australia A in Hobart earlier this month, but appeared unimpeded in his movements.
Prior faced off-spinner Graeme Swann at the Gabba nets under the eye of England batting coach Graham Gooch.
After a series of runs between the wickets during his net session to test his calf, he gave coach Andy Flower a thumbs-up as he walked away.
The sight of Prior training freely will be a welcome boost to the tourists given that their back-up is part-time 'keeper Jonny Bairstow.
However Bairstow kept adequately during last week's tour match in Sydney.

When she returned to the church she was reluctant to join because of the UMC's prejudice against lesbian and gay people; she was and remains especially offended by the clause in the in the Book of Discipline that states "homosexuality is incompatible with Christian teaching." She decided that the only way she could re-join the UMC was to do everything in her power to change that clause. MIND is the most effective way she has found to carry out that pledge to herself. She has appeared in a number of theatres in New York, L.A. and regional theatres where she has become quite adept at playing alcoholics and drug addicts.

Previous winners of Platinum Certification will be awarded a supplementary number to signify the 'consecutive' years that they have maintained this level of excellence.
This year the questions have been updated and an employee engagement section added. The new questions are available for you to review on the members section of the website.
Whilst accreditation is carried out in September/October, we are now taking bookings and fixing dates. The form is available to complete on the website and can be accessed by clicking here.

Hensol Castle , Cardiff, Wales
Wednesday 9th & Thursday 10th November 2016
Hot on the heels of the launch of the ideasUK 'Idea of the Year Competition 2016', I am delighted to announce this year's International Conference dates and venue.
ideasUK consistently pulls together speakers and formats to engage all those attending and continues to evolve over time to reflect workplace trends. Nowadays, with so much electronic communication, this event is an increasingly rare opportunity for face to face interaction, to expand your network and learn from experts in the field. As such, we want to make the most of the 2 days we have, and are looking to provide you with a unique experience.
Our unique experience starts with this year's amazing venue - Hensol Castle! We are holding both the conference sessions and Idea of the Year Award Ceremony in a 400 year old castle on the edge of Cardiff. The castle has a special place in British History with one of the owners overseeing construction of 'Big Ben' part of the Houses of Parliament!
The 2016 Idea of the Year competition!
For nearly three decades, ideasUK have honoured the best ideas from the public and private sectors, both home and abroad. Over that time, through our Idea of the Year competition, we have shown time after time how innovation in the workplace can bring wide benefits to employees, customers and organisations.
The Idea of the Year competition provides a great opportunity to recognise the employees who submitted those incredible ideas; raise the profile of the scheme to senior management through external recognition and gives international exposure of your success.

The deadline for entries has now passed.

I was Googling stuff for ASIO support & M-Audio USB Transport, and I found some posts on Hydrogenaudio. I thought to myself "Oh hey, HA knows usually knows this stuff as much as anyone here."
I have not read all their forums or posts, but there seems to be afew over there that don't think to highly of our opinions.
I have not read all their forums or posts, but there seems to be afew over there that don't think to highly of our opinions.
The guys over at Head-Fi.com "think" (parts of audiophillia are purely placebo, but if it sounds better to you, weather proven otherwise or not, it still sounds better to you right?) that KS and ASIO are better then direct sound or waveout. So, in a sence, for "better sounding" choose KS or ASIO.
|Just don't listen to guys on head-fi.com. If they think and "feel" that asio or KS sounds better than DS output just ask him to do some abx tests and post results here. At this moment most HA members just don't care about their claims....
|Some people do perceive a difference when upsampling even mp3s to 96000 or above. Of course, you would have to have a very good setup to achieve that. But just head over to head-fi and there are many people there that would share their experiences with upsampling. As for me, I do it just in case. Doesnt hurt does it? lol
