If you're a guy, a faded navy blue hat, especially one with a slightly frayed bill pulled tight, will work just fine. For the ladies, one of those white baseball caps with a pink "B" will do. You'll fit right in with millions of other folks around the country, most of them with little apparent connection to Boston.
It isn't just casual, popularity-seeking fans that jump on the Red Sox train. Back in 2004 when the Red Sox won their first World Series since 1918, everyone foraged for family trees with even a minute Boston connection.
Two of my most sports-dedicated friends who, as far as I knew, had spent their entire fan careers in Seattle, suddenly sported Red Sox gear, claiming Irish heritage and an East Coast birth, respectively. The morning after the championship, they led a short and sparsely-attended pre-class sparkling cider celebration on our high school quad. Just because of the romantic Red Sox "curse."
As a sports fan, I understand the charm of choosing sides. It's much more fun to watch a game in the Pause when you create or perceive personal investment. Hence the immense popularity of Las Vegas sports books and fantasy sports. But who decided that it's okay to switch loyalties at liberty?
Yes, I'm talking about you, Mr. I-like-the-Packers-just-because-of-Brett-Favre-even-though-I'm-from-the-Twin-Cities (What's next for you, buddy?).
And you, Ms. now-that-I-live-in-New-York-I-think-it's-fine-if-I-forget-New-York-and-root-for-the-Lakers.
And you, Mr. angry-superfan-of-only-European-soccer-with-a-bad-Minnesotan-accent.
Bill Simmons, a brilliant columnist on ESPN.com, coined the term "sports bigamy" to describe those who neglect teams from their home city and choose new loyalties.
Clearly, there are exceptions. Say you're from Alaska or Montana. Who do you pick? Or what about a baseball fan in New York? You have two teams to choose from. You might have moved several times during your childhood, just when you're beginning to form loyalties.
Or maybe your team folds or moves.
Oh. That one. See, my hometown Seattle SuperSonics, the local NBA franchise, might move. A team with 40 years of history might leave behind generations of fans for Oklahoma City. It's a bitter situation.
I count the Sonics as my third favorite sports team, behind the Mariners and the Seahawks. Still, I can't fathom the Sonics' seemingly inevitable departure, and I certainly can't imagine choosing another team. I wouldn't boycott the NBA, simply because I enjoy good basketball, but I could never cast all my emotional marbles behind some random team. Don't even talk to me about the Oklahoma City Sonics.
Maybe my zealous promotion of all things Seattle blinds me. Well, nice Minnesotans, how many dedicated fans of your Minnesota North Stars embraced the Dallas Stars with open arms or blithely hopped to another team?
There's pain in loyalty. Sports teams are like unreliable dogs -- they get distracted and lose their way, but very, very rarely they bring back that trophy you asked them to fetch. And it's so rewarding.
For lifelong Boston fans, just imagine the joy, the wonder and the tears overflowing in a victory after 86 years of futility. 2004 perhaps didn't have the same power for other people who chose to follow the Red Sox because Johnny Damon looked "hot," or because they just fell in love with David Ortiz or even because of the lovable myth of a "curse."
Choose a team. Preferably from your hometown. Now's your chance to made a lifelong commitment.
Stick with your team, in any league, men's or women's, even through seasons where they feature a slogan like "Let's Build It" (the Timberwolves) that exudes hopelessness. Stick with them through bad owners, bad players and all the bad times.
Your good faith will make the good times so, so great.

August 30, 2013, 2:20 PM — SDN (software-defined networking) promises some real benefits for people who use networks, but to the engineers who manage them, it may represent the end of an era.
Ever since Cisco made its first routers in the 1980s, most network engineers have relied on a CLI (command-line interface) to configure, manage and troubleshoot everything from small-office LANs to wide-area carrier networks. Cisco's isn't the only CLI, but on the strength of the company's domination of networking, it has become a de facto standard in the industry, closely emulated by other vendors.
As such, it's been a ticket to career advancement for countless network experts, especially those certified as CCNAs (Cisco Certified Network Associates). Those network management experts, along with higher level CCIEs (Cisco Certified Internetwork Experts) and holders of other official Cisco credentials, make up a trained workforce of more than 2 million, according to the company.
A CLI is simply a way to interact with software by typing in lines of commands, as PC users did in the days of DOS. With the Cisco CLI and those that followed in its footsteps, engineers typically set up and manage networks by issuing commands to individual pieces of gear, such as routers and switches.
SDN, and the broader trend of network automation, uses a higher layer of software to control networks in a more abstract way. Whether through OpenFlow, Cisco's ONE (Open Network Environment) architecture, or other frameworks, the new systems separate the so-called control plane of the network from the forwarding plane, which is made up of the equipment that pushes packets. Engineers managing the network interact with applications, not ports.
"The network used to be programmed through what we call CLIs, or command-line interfaces. We're now changing that to create programmatic interfaces," Cisco Chief Strategy Officer Padmasree Warrior said at a press event earlier this year.
Will SDN spell doom for the tool that network engineers have used throughout their careers?
"If done properly, yes, it should kill the CLI. Which scares the living daylights out of the vast majority of CCIEs," Gartner analyst Joe Skorupa said. "Certainly all of those who define their worth in their job as around the fact that they understand the most obscure Cisco CLI commands for configuring some corner-case BGP4 (Border Gateway Protocol 4) parameter."
At some of the enterprises that Gartner talks to, the backlash from some network engineers has already begun, according to Skorupa.

Items #1-4 must not be part of a "tight" budget.
I just got the new striped ikea throw and its awesome. Very soft and comfortable and looks great on the back of a sofa
it's a 500 dollar couch. you don't get much more budget friendly then that
I was thinking the same thing.
I was thinking the same thing robert...maybe because the most I spent on furniture was for my couch consigned for $250
wow, thats some "budget". I could never consider a $270 lamp on my budget. Not even a $32 pillow lol
Well, you can find that same exact Ikea couch on Craigslist in just about any major city in the country, so that would make it more affordable. But Apartment Therapy isn't going to quote the selling price of some dude in San Francisco's secondhand Ikea couch on Craigslist.
Honestly, $500 for a new couch is about as cheap as it gets, and the same goes for that $200 rug. We all know Craigslist and flea markets may be cheaper, but you can't write about those prices because they're inconsistent.
I scored a barely used 3 seater Karlstad with the add-on chaise lounge for $175. The people I bought it from decided to find a different sofa that was more their style and would fit their space better after just a few months of ownership. I agree that some of those price tags made my eyes pop out, but deals are out there if you really look.
Why do we need sofas anyway? I'd rather sit in a comfy chair. Do we really need sofas or do we just think we do? Answer that for me, will ya. Furthermore, have you ever noticed how much more interesting low budget homes are (or can be) that rich ones? Generally, they're more creative, personal, real, and "collected and casual."
In reply to Shar Ulm. Oh yes we need sofas. How else to pile on with the family and share a bowl of popcorn on movie night? Also, my young ones often napped on the couch when they were too "grown up" for a regular nap in the bed. My lab mix surely appreciates a nice long sofa and I love to sit side-ways and put my feet up while I use my laptop. No need for an ottoman. Sometimes when one of us is sick my husband or myself will sleep in the couch so as not to keep the other one up all night while we cough. I could not make it without a sofa.
@ Shar Ulm - a sofa is romantic - cuddling, snuggling, foreplay.
Shar Ulm,
Yeah, a sofa is quite a nice thing when you have company over.
That and chairs, yes, but a sofa can seat several people at once.
For some of you that boggled at the prices for the first four items, it's all about what you can get NEW. A Karlstad sofa from IKEA new at $499, is about as cheap as it gets, or a Klippan in leather is about the same price.
I have the red leather Klippan in my living room, but I bought mine at the As Is section for $194 in 2008. It WAS just over $300, but an additional $40% brought the price down, and with delivery, it was STILL less than my '$300 budget for a sofa. it replaced a cheap sectional from the 80's that was one, too big for the space, and 2, did NOTHING for it as well with the bland innocuous fabric it was clad in.
That is a pretty big budget for a lot of folks. Try buying USED, budget or not. You can spend a fraction of that money, if you don't need INSTANT gratification.
Do the world a teeny favor and RECYCLE stuff from thrift stores that benefit charities, craigslist, anything but new, whenever possible.
If you don't rush out for NEW everything, and focus on things that are really beautiful or meaningful to you, your surroundings might really make you happy.
I usually don't spend almost $300 for a lamp. But, I wonder if that sofa is comfortable at all being as cheap as it is.
Okay. Looks like sofas are popular and I can see why. But what about lamps. Do we really need them? Just kidding.

Bella Fleck Tones
We penned a love letter to freckles earlier this summer, and now that Fall is making its rapid return we're realizing that all of those adorable speckled flecks don't have to fade with our tan. At least that seems to be the message the makeup artistry establishment is trying to send. At Chloé, face painter Charlotte Tilbury turned to MAC's trusty Lip Pencil in Hodge Podge to stencil a few light spots across models' cheekbones, and in the September issue of Vogue Paris, Chanel creative director of makeup, Peter Philips, did the same for a "Hippie Living" story starring Anja Rubik. In classic Philips form, Rubik's beauty marks come in a range of colors—yellow, pink, white, and dark green—a perfect complement to the multi-hued beaded braids that coiffing star Christiaan wove around her face. It's a little costume-y, sure, but turning your eyeliners and lip pencils into multi-use face pigments can be a good look when executed well at the right venue—say, the Spring shows? That ought to get the street style bloggers' attention.

Filed under: Car Buying, Sedan, Buick, GM
In addition to having eAssist added to its four-cylinder powertrain, the 2012 Buick LaCrosse is undergoing a few other changes. We aren't talking about styling or content tweaks – instead, General Motors is revising its packaging strategy for the LaCrosse. Buick will be ditching the CX, CXL and CXS trim level designations and simply offer large option packages that encompass all of the available amenities.
For 2012, the 2.4-liter Ecotec engine with eAssist technology will be offered as the "standard" powertrain. We recently had some very limited drive time with an eAssist-equipped LaCrosse (stay tuned for our full impressions), and found the four-cylinder with 182 horsepower and 172 pound-feet of torque to be pleasantly adequate and its highway rating of 37 miles per gallon downright remarkable. eAssist-equipped cars will look no different than other LaCrosses, save the addition of model-specific 17-inch wheels on efficiency-optimized tires and other fuel-saving upgrades not visible from outside the car.
The General's 280-horsepower direct-injected 3.6-liter V6 will still be made available, complete with the new HiPer Strut front suspension that helps keep torque steer to a minimum, but buyers can now select it as a no-cost option, and also opt for all-wheel drive.
Final pricing information has not been released, but Buick tells us that the entry level LaCrosse will start around $ 30,000. Currently, the LaCrosse has a base MSRP of $ 26,995, which suggests the addition of eAssist and its associated fuel-saving parts isn't cheap. What Buick has effectively done is ditched the "base" LaCrosse model and left two identically priced models for buyers to choose from: one focused on exceptional fuel economy and the other on power.
Production on the 2012 LaCrosse will start this summer with the first round of cars hitting dealerships this Fall.

Dr. Gary Romalis: an inspiring clinician, teacher, mentor and champion of reproductive choice.
Sadly, late on January 30th, Gary died in hospital at age 76 from complications of acute pancreatitis, a final battle he was not to win.
Dr. Romalis was a graduate of UBC medical school in 1962 and in his second year was assigned a case of a young woman who had died of a septic abortion from using slippery elm bark, a tragic story that imprinted itself permanently on his heart. He went on to Cook County Hospital where his first month of internship was on the Obstetrical sepsis ward where he encountered more women who died or barely survived from complications of their unsafe abortions. He understood first hand the context of women's lives and their desperate attempts to end unwanted pregnancies. After residency he returned to Vancouver and set up an obstetrical and gynaecological practice in 1972 joining Drs. Nickerson, Cronhelm and Bie. By then abortion was legal in Canada and soon afterwards they all began to provide abortion services as staunch believers in women's reproductive choice.
Dr. Romalis loved doing obstetrics, the field that first drew him into our specialty when abortion was still illegal. Many will remember him as a soft spoken, kind professional with a quirky sense of humour and a deep rumbling laugh. He treated people with respect and dignity and was always searching for new techniques or tips to improve on the care he and others were providing.
Dr. Romalis worked at Vancouver General Hospital and BC Women's Hospital in addition to the Elizabeth Bagshaw Women's Clinic. He was instrumental in setting up the CARE program at BC Women's 20 years ago and continued to work there until his acute illness.
As a result of his work and belief in the pro-choice movement, Dr. Romalis suffered significant violence and harassment. His office and private home were frequently visited by protesters. . In 1994, shock waves rippled through our community when there was an attempt on his life while he sat at home in his kitchen. After a very long recovery from that sniper attack, Dr. Romalis showed tremendous courage, perseverance and strength when he returned to work, which included the provision of abortion services. A second attempt on his life occurred six years later when he was stabbed on entering the clinic where he had his private office. Although he recovered quickly there were obvious concerns for his security from all sides, though Gary himself was never afraid. Taking sensible precautions became part of his life but he remained committed to providing abortion care and served as an inspiration to those who also cared deeply about ensuring women's access to safe abortion services.
He was a Clinical Professor in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology and sought after as a teacher and mentor. He was an inspiration to many leading to the creation of the Canadian branch of Medical Students for Choice. In 2001, the members of the National Abortion Federation awarded him the C. Lalor Burdick Award, which honors "unsung heroes" in the pro-choice movement "whose work exemplifies the excellence, commitment, and dedication that are the ideals of NAF members". He will be missed in our community locally, provincially, nationally and across North America.
Our heartfelt condolences go to his family and friends.
If you would like to honor Gary his family would appreciate donations directed to Congregation Beth Israel towards the Beth Israel Building Fund at 604 731 4161 or email firstname.lastname@example.com, to the BC Women's Hospital CARE Clinic, or to the Elizabeth Bagshaw Women's Clinic.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 by 602 reviewers.
Rated 2 out of 5 by SPGMEMBER20120624 No recommend Sheraton @ Fisherman's Wharf This is the worst Sheraton I have ever stayed, the followings are pretty objective facts: 1. No refrigerator in the room...unbelievable 2. No kettle in the room, so I went down to bar at the lobby to ask for a cup of hot water, the staff even charged me " 55 cent " for that, what !!I It's so ridiculous,,,, I am the SPG platinum member...but I felt nothing about respect and good quality of service but the unreasonable charge with disappointment. June 24, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by arizonagirl2012 Great price, great location Booked this hotel at the last minute for our trip to San Francisco. Wonderful location, close to Fisherman's Wharf. Great and helpful staff. We came into town, running a little late for the baseball game, doorman assisted us with getting us car and driver to take us and pick us up from the game. Our bags were taken to our room, car was checked into valet and we were whisked by our driver to the game without incident. Very nice rooms and views. July 11, 2012
Rated 2 out of 5 by Peter001 Too expensive for not enough. We have stayed in a number of Sheratons on this vacation and have found this one a very expensive hotel for not enough inclusions. All of other hotels we have stayed at have provided 1 or 2 bottles of free drinking water, not here. The Wi-Fi is free in the lobby area, however in the rooms you have to pay for it? If anything I would have though it should be the other way around. Had to pay extra each night for the portable fridge to be bought to the room. $50 per night for self parking. The most expensive local phone calls of all of the Sheratons we have stayed in so far. On the positive side, it is very close to the wharves and has a supermarket across the road. July 15, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by MaryBob Great Stay We had a Great Stay!!! Just wish it was longer!! The Hotel is in a perfect location. A block from Fishermans Wharf. We celebrated my husbands 60th birthday and the front desk sent us a complimentary bottle of Champagne!!!! I just wish I could remember her name :(. The hotel is always very clean and always meets and surpasses our expectations. Thank-you so much for a Wonderful stay!!...Mary April 29, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by Disappointed Expected more from a Sheraton We checked in late and lobby was empty. Had to call out to get someone to help us. No one offered to help with bags. People were not friendly or helpful. Parking was expensive on site. Breakfast buffet was terrible. Room was not clean. Housekeepers didn't speak English. I went back to my room because I wasn't feeling well and all the housekeeper could say was '10 minutes" I suppose she meant she would be done in 10 minutes. I couldn't get her to understand that I just wanted her to leave so I could lie down. Another time I returned to get a jacket and the housekeeper was sitting on the bed doing nothing. She then insisted I give her my key to check and make sure it was my room. All she could say was "for safety". This was after she let me rifle through my luggage for my jacket. People need to speak English a little better. I've traveled to foreign countries where better English is spoken. It was annoying. May 27, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by julieprsn Beds are uncomfortable!!!! My husband and I stayed at this hotel for 5 nights. The parking attendants were rude to us and did not do their jobs, being unavailable half of the time. We had to wait over twenty minutes to pay for our ticket and when we got into the parking lot, our ticket was not validated. Our beds had broken down mattresses on them. Nice sheets, but mattress were extremely uncomfortable! February 28, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Agg54280 This Hotel was very convenient The Hotels location was great! A lot of attractions were in walking distance and the staff was great! Bellman, Abdur, was very friendly as was able to help us out my providing great attractions to visit. He was a plus from the hotel. Hotel was very nice, clean and comfortable! MY only complain was how small the closet, bathroom and vanity area was! i was really shocked March 26, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Stacerich Location is awesome We were quite pleased with all aspects of this hotel. It is just a block off the bay. It is close to everything you want to walk to. The hotel was wonderful. Not real good views out the window. But rooms were great and staff was helpful. I would stay here anytime. Only Downfall. $50 to park for the night that was were not told about. January 14, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Jcastorena113 Amazing Vacation The room was amazing! Clean, comfortable, and exceeded my expectations. The hotel is right in between Fisherman's Warf and Ghirardelli square and was an easy walk to Pier 39 as well. I would definitely stay at this hotel on my next San Francisco visit. March 16, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by tnicole Unsatisfied I was very unhappy with the room when we checked in, not only did it smell like a dirty sock, but the bathroom door was broken and the shower was dirty. Our blankets had not been washed for at least a week and put out an odor in the entire room. We also could hear traffic and people yelling outside our room and the hotel building. January 14, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by sushilmakhija Excellent location, easy access to Fisherman's Wharf & Pier 39 The room was cozy & nice. Outdoor area is impressive & you can chill out by the fire side with drinks. April 6, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by belekrom First room smelled awful It's hard to come up with anything positive about this hotel. I needed a room in SF on short notice and now I know why this hotel still had availability. The ground floor room with views of the taxi stand area (the curtains did not fit flush, so there was always about a 2 inch gap allowing for oblique views into the room - not much privacy) was nearly $400/night with $50/night for parking. At least it didn't smell like something died in it like the first room I was offered. The pillows are fluffy, but thin - as soon as you put your head on them they compress to about 1 inch thick. The hotel is generally understaffed and multiple minor maintenance issues were evident walking around. Avoid this hotel if you have any alternatives. May 22, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by Morgan2 Great Location If you are a tourist, perfect location...walking distance to many destinations. The rooms shown online are not exactly what you get upon arrival. Each room needs a comfortable easy chair..we really missed that. The colors in the hotel are very bright and interesting and the front desk was friendly and energetic. March 7, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Carol12345 Great for sightseeing The hotel is located right in the heart of Fisherman's Warf so it is great for travelers looking to see some of SF's main attractions. It is also located just blocks away from several rental car facilities making travel around the city very convenient. February 17, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by xpressx Excellent service The staff is really helpful. Teh rooms are comfortable, clean. The food is also good. April 2, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by gdad Noise level from floor above The walls are thin and all we could hear were the room above us. It seemed as if they were stomping, but I know it was just normal walking. Having kids and being up at midnight isn't ideal having extra noises. I will definitely always ask for the top floor as we could not get any sleep because of that. April 7, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by EmryDby Concierge Service The Concierge service was exceptional. Jhay Jhay and Jennifer were great searching out and offering recommendations for dinner, entertainment, etc. They offered discount coupons and made reservations for us during our 3 day visit. December 16, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by Firefox Not so great This hotel is mediocre. It's okay if you're only looking for a place to lay your head in the wharf. But don't expect too much. I'm a platinum member and my loyalty has been rewarded two weeks in a row with a view of the rooftop air conditioners. March 7, 2012
Rated 3 out of 5 by ar1234567 Facilities There was lack of facilities downstairs v other hotels in the area ie no bar, very congested lobby area August 7, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by Peter57 Bad location and service Many hotel rooms are facing the street. Street cars cause vibrations that even move the bed and shake the windows at night. Staff is very courteous when it comes to offering to help but needed to follow up 3-4 times to see it through. June 21, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by KMc49 Great Hotel - Double Check your Invoice! Loved the Hotel! Loved the room! Great beds! Perfect location! Fire pits were awesome! Concierge staff was o.k. - could have been a bit friendlier. Invoice was incorrect - even though I double-checked with the front desk at check-out. March 16, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by ShelleyB huge financial burden When I made my original reservation (after calling many other hotels), I expressed to the rep on the phone that my MAIN goal in finding a hotel near the warf was getting my 8 little Girl Scouts breakfast as part of my room rate. I shared that we had 8 girls spread between our 3 rooms plus 1 adult in each room. (a total of 11 people). We had a very busy agenda and this was crucial to not only our troop budgeting but our timing of our 3 night/4 day stay in SF. When we went down stairs to get our breakfast on our first morning (Friday), I was told that I only got 2 breakfasts per room (6 total) and that I would need buy the additional 5 breakfasts for my girl scouts. This was unexpected and my heart sank, as my 11 year old girls earned every penny of this trip; fundraised and worked really hard for two years, paid for their own flight, hotel and meals and budgeted their trip from start to finish. I did not have enough money personally to pay for 15 breakfasts to sustain us for the rest of the weekend and I was let down that my expectations were not met. The manager that I spoke with told me "she'd listen to the recorded phone call I had" - (insinuating that I was lying!!!???) I told her to listen to it and that she could hear that I was certainly telling the truth!! And asked me to read the fine print of my email confirmation which clearly says 2 breakfasts per room. I expressed to her that I had confidence in my conversation with the rep who clearly understood my needs and said they would be met with my increased rate to accommodate breakfasts for my girl scouts along with my AAA card. The manager told me that as a courtesy, she'd comp my 5 meals for that day but that she couldn't help me with the other days and that I was basically on my own. My heart sank. All she could offer me was to possibly reduce my room rate to the "non-breakfast rate" for my 2nd and 3rd nights. She told me she'd look into the rate and call me back that day....that call never happened. She didn't call me on Friday or Saturday or Sunday. I didn't see what my room rate was until I checked out on Sunday. Over promised and under-delivered... I figured this room rate (if it happened) would help put money back into my Girl Scout bank account so I could feed these girls for the weekend. However, my card continued to decline; as it takes 48+ hours to reflect any credits. Because of this, I had to pull money out of my personal account to buy 22 breakfasts for the duration of the weekend (money I didn't have readily available). Additionally, the first night we arrived, after we checked in, I went to buy my girls an ice cream down the street for $19. My card was declined. I later found out that this was because $198 x 3 was 'held' by your hotel on my credit card. This was nearly $600 of my girls' money that was in my troop bank account. This money was carefully budgeted to pay for my girl scouts' 6 meals per day - Lunch and Dinner on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. When I called and spoke to your hotel manager to please lift this security deposit and explained my situation. (I had to call three times b/c my call was not being returned)...this was 11:30 at night. Finally they told me they would lift it and would call the bank immediately. But my card continued to embarassingly decline all weekend. Upon check out, the clerk told me that the request never went in but that even if it had, it would take at least 48 hours to show on my account. So... not only did I have to buy 22 breakfasts, I also had to buy 66 additional meals - 33 lunches and 33 dinners Friday - Sunday. Unreal!!!! I can't even explain to you what a HUGE financial hardship this experience put on my personal family. I am NOT made of money, and I live a modest life. I had to borrow money, move money, use different cards, pull out cash, it was a complete nightmare. However, I wanted to ensure that my girl scouts had the trip of a life time. They dreamt about this trip, earned it themselves and thank God they had no idea the stresses I went through JUST to feed them. I had to juggle money left and right between MY family members just to make all of this happen for my Girl Scouts. It was embarrassing and very unfortunate. It is now Monday evening and my bank account is still in the negative. Now my own family is suffering... My ONLY positive experience was the wonderful service by the manager/server in the breakfast area on Friday morning. He was so kind, warm, generous, smiling and accommodating. It is unfortunate that his over the top service will go unwarranted for the HUGE embarrassing and stressful financial burden that your hotel caused me for the weekend. May 5, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Sherrie Best place to stay I had one of my best stay ever.The location is perfect ,the staffs are friendly and very helpful.I enjoyed my stay to max.I recommend this hotel to everyone.I am looking forward to going back soon. May 14, 2013

Rated 5 out of 5 by AliO Sheraton Fisherman's Wharf We stayed here for my friend's 50th birthday weekend. The front receptionist, Margarita was awesome. She was funny and helpful. She was able to upgrade our room to a suite to accommodate the 3 of us better. She also comped the room champagne and appetizers for my friends birthday. The hotel is very convenient to Fisherman's wharf and the embarcadaro, the trolley line and other areas. The hotel was remodeled and it is clean and nice. I would stay here again. December 27, 2011

Rated 4 out of 5 by FrankReview Sheraton April 2013 Stay This is the 3rd time that we have stayed at this hotel. The staff is very professional and attentive. The only issues we had during this stay were (1) the thermostat not working in our room; engineering came out and simply replaced the batteries in the thermostat. (2) there was a power outage in the area when we arrived to check in so this delayed our check in by about 45 minutes and (3) there seems to be a good amount of noise from both outside and inside the hotel. From inside, it seems to be from guest and outside from delivery and loading of trucks (even at 11 PM and again at 6-7 AM). Our room was even on the top floor and there was aconsiderable amount of noise from other rooms. April 8, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by Debr Horrible decor, everything closes...room service pool etc before you make it back from the game! Limo never showed up after we booked it, Prices were ASTRONOMICAL. I WILL STAY at the square and taxi to wharf...this was way expensive for a view of a garage!! May 6, 2013

I had a crepes fromagere from their specialty menu. Very nice. My waiter was attentive and friendly. Good lunch. May come back.
Our family loved our crepe lunch, sitting on the sidewalk of this charming cafe. Menton is a great little city and this is a great place to enjoy a summer afternoon.
On our last night we found it and wish it had been sooner. 2 Mexican galettes with loads of side salad , one coffee, 1 beer and 1 bottle of house wine total; E40.80 Just right ambience and very pleasant and helpful staff. We would love to be regular customers but Lincoln, England is a little far away!
I have been to the Creperie Saint Michel numerous times over the last 5 years and have never had a bad meal. In fact Saint Michel is one of my standby restaurants whenever I visit Menton. No particular dishes to recommend. Pretty much any entree crepe with the house wine makes for a delicious and quite reasonable meal.
The most delicious european pancakes I've tasted in a looong time ;), definitely a 'must visit and taste' place...
If you're looking to eat a sarassin or bukwheat pancakes you probably should be in Brettany and not Menton but this place makes a nice change from the usual restaurants around Menton.
You'll get excellent service and very nice sarassin crêpes and a GREAT variety of crêpes at that.
The price is about right for the quantity and if you're...
This creperie is a gem and a real find! The owners are from Northern France (home of crepes) and the husband wife team are superb. He cooks an authentic crepe from scratch and she offers top service. The selection is amazing and the prices are really affordable. The ambience is cosy and quaint.. like in Brittany or Normandy.
Go for...
We are in Menton every summer. We've found that Creperie St. Michel is delicious and a great value for the Cote d'Azur. Delicious crepes both savory and sweet and the service is friendly and efficient. The menu is large with a great variety. This year we were there before "the season" began. Menton was quiet but Creperie St. Michel was...

Transfer Pricing as a Tax Compliance Risk
AbstractThis paper contributes to the empirical literature on the transfer pricing behavior of multinational firms. Previous research mainly focuses on transfer pricing as a means of tax optimization. Our approach concentrates on transfer pricing as a critical compliance issue. Specifically, we investigate whether and to what extent the awareness of transfer pricing as a tax compliance issue responds to country and industry characteristics as well as firm-specifics. Empirically, the transfer pricing risk awareness is measured as a professional assessment reported by the person with ultimate responsibility for transfer pricing in their company. Based on a unique global survey conducted by a Big 4 accounting firm in 2007 and 2008, we estimate the number of firms reporting transfer pricing being the largest risk issue with regard to subsequent tax payments. We find that transfer pricing risk awareness depends on variables accounting for general tax and transfer pricing specific strategies, the types and characteristics of intercompany transactions the multinational firms are involved in, their individual transfer pricing compliance efforts and resources dedicated to transfer pricing matters.

I love to make these Strawberries and Cream Cookies with Ella because they are so easy to make... Only 5 ingredients to be exact! {They are also the perfect cookie for Valentine's Day!}She loves them because they are pretty and pink; She calls them princess cookies.
I will also be also sharing another Valentine's Day treat with you tomorrow. I apologize for so many recipes... well, not really because they are reeeeeeally yummy... but, I am in the midst of preparing for some pretty big, fun home renovations, and I can't wait to share what we are up to!
In a large bowl, mix together:
1 strawberry cake mix
2 eggs
1/3 cup oil
1/2 tsp. vanilla
Drop 1 1/2" spoonfuls onto a parchment lined cookie sheet and bake at 375 degrees for 7 minutes or until bottoms are lightly golden brown. Do not overcook. Remove from cookie sheet and let cool.
Once cooled, melt 1 cup vanilla baking chips in double boiler or microwave. If melting in the microwave, I recommend heating in 15 to 20 second intervals stirring in between, being careful to not overcook. {tip: If your melted chips seem too thick and you want them a bit smoother, stir in a tsp. of oil}
Dip the edge of each cookie into the melted vanilla chips and lay on parchment to cool. Add sprinkles if desired {optional}. I used the clear sugar sprinkles. Let dry before handling. Store in a Ziploc bag to maintain freshness and softness.
That's it! Super easy and even totally doable with a 2 year old helper!
I hope you will come back tomorrow for another yummy {easy} Valentine's Day treat.
P.S. Thank you all SO much for all of your advice about Ella's bedding!! I was stuck going around and around about it and you helped me SO much. I can't wait to show you the finished room :)

This camera can be placed in your living room, office, or anywhere else you would like to keep an eye on things. After a hassle-free installation, you can view and control the camera from a Web browser, bundled software, or compatible cell phone.
54Mbps Wireless Connectivity
IP camera is usually installed on the ceilings or on the wall, but it is hard to deploy the Ethernet cable there. It's great if you can setup the IP camera wirelessly. TL-SC3130G comes with wireless connectivity at a speed up to 54Mbps, which ensures the smooth video transmission.
Crystal Clear Image
The Sony CMOS sensor on this camera adapts Progressive Scan technology, boosting the performance greatly compared to traditional Interlaced Scan technology.
Two Way Audio
With a built-in microphone, external speaker, and excellent audio capabilities, TL-SC3130G can create a bi-directional, real-time audio transmission. So besides basic video monitoring, you can also hear what's going on and speak to those within range of the camera.
Easy Remote View -MSN and Mobile View
The TL-SC3130G provides users the innovative remote surveillance manner ----right through MSN chatting windows. With MSN View, the once daunting task of setting up a camera's remote viewing function will be as simple as chatting online.

Dual Streaming
Unlike traditional IP Cameras operating at only MPEG-4 or MJPEG compression mode, TL-SC3130G can deliver MPEG-4 and MJPEG streams simultaneously ---- MJPEG produces lossless while bandwidth-consuming video and MPEG-4 produces efficiently compressed "small size" video. Now with TL-SC3130G, you can just monitor local rooms with MJPEG stream and remote office with MPEG-4 stream, backing them all up to a server in MPEG-4 format.
16-channel Management Software
The surveillance software coming with the IP camera assists you manage multiple cameras at the same time. With it, video from 16 cameras can be displayed on one screen. You can archive streaming video and audio straight to your hard drive, playback video, and monitor up to 16 cameras on a single screen.

It's good to be a Tyson
Country club memberships, use of a company plane, a free car and other perks -- all in a day's work at Tyson Foods.
No, we're talking about Don Tyson, the former chief executive of Tyson Foods (TSN), and his son John. Don Tyson, you'll recall, was busted five years ago for taking $3 million in company perks for himself, his family and other friends.
He used $20,000 in company funds to buy oriental rugs, $18,000 for antiques and $15,000 for a London vacation. He made personal use of company-owned homes, as well as a boat, in Cabo San Lucas and the English countryside. He used $425,000 worth of time on the company jet.
The company paid some $200,000 in housekeeping and $84,000 in lawn care at five homes where he and his family vacationed. They paid for auto care (for nine cars), telephone service, Christmas gift certificates. The list goes on.
Tyson failed to disclose the perks, and used misleading terms like "travel and entertainment costs" to explain the ones he did disclose. Tyson Foods settled the matter in 2005 with the Securities and Exchange Commission, agreeing to pay a $1.5 million penalty. Tyson personally paid a $700,000 penalty. Post continues after video:
This week, the Footnoted blog brings news of a new employment contract with Tyson. Since all those perks have been taken away, Tyson Foods wanted to compensate Don Tyson for the loss.
Now, Tyson will have to settle for just 200 hours of personal time on the corporate jet. He can personally fly or he can give those hours to friends and family.
"The sacrifice that Tyson is making here is just astounding," writes Michelle Leder on Footnoted.
But while Don Tyson's perks have been chopped, his son John Tyson is getting a sweet new deal. A new contract says that John Tyson may need to spend 20 hours a month providing "advisory services" to the company. He doesn't even have to go into the office to perform those services.
And for that hard work, he gets $500,000 a year. He also gets a country club membership, a paid company care and 150 hours a year on the corporate jet. The company also pays for his $7.5 million life insurance policy.
Tyson shareholders have been fine with these kinds of perks. And maybe they should be, since their investment is doing so well. Oh, wait. Shares of Tyson have fallen 19% since April.

If you've set up a Facebook fan page for your blog and you've accumulated more than 30 likes, an "Insights" box will show up when you view the page as an admin.
The Insights box displays a little graph that shows your reach: that is, the number of people who saw your post within a 7 day period.
Different posting habits can lead to different levels of reach. Let's look at a few examples.
Automated Posting Disabled
A quick caveat: these graphs were not taken at a time when automatic posting was turned on. I turned it on when I went away on holiday, but turned it off shortly after I came back.
One Post After a Period of Inactivity
On my "Ben Barden" fan page, I went for quite a while without posting anything at all. You can see the gradual decline at the start of the graph.
Then, when I posted something new, the reach shot up and stayed up for several days.
The lesson here is that it's never too late to post on your Facebook page. As long as people have liked your page, new posts stand a good chance of being seen.
Several Posts After a Short Delay
This is a continuation of the first graph. A couple of weeks after the first post, and having seen the reach drop back down again, I posted four times in quick succession.
You can see that the result of this was a steady increase in reach.
The lesson here is that if you're posting great content, a steady flow of new posts can help to ensure readers don't forget about you.
Frequent Posts With Some Recent Popularity
This is the recent graph for the Quick Blog Tips fan page. The page has had a steady flow of new posts, although not at regular intervals, and the reach has stayed fairly low.
However, the last two or three posts triggered some renewed interest, perhaps because one of them was more popular than the ones before.
The lesson here is that regular updates doesn't guarantee anything. I'm always trying to post great content, so perhaps it was more to do with when I posted the updates. But it may also be due to the fact I have fewer likes on the QBT fan page, so any interest can look like a much bigger spike than it is.
Your Mileage May Vary
These graphs are just from my experience. You won't get the same results as me, but I think there are still a few things we can learn from the graphs.
What patterns have you noticed on your Facebook fan page? What gets people to notice your posts?

Are most mental health problems caused by Toxoplasmosis or other pathogens ?
As put forward in the Atlantic article, the rise of depression in Europe was corolatable with the increase of toxoplasmosis.
With the discovery that the plaques in the brain may actually be PROTECTIVE for the neurons, it is quite possible that they are there to damp down the spurious electrical signals being produced from the pathogens that are attached there.
A new paper shows that mannitol opens the blood/brain barrier for a half hour. Long enough for a cyst to get thru.
Is much more likely that nearly ALL neuro-degenerative diseases are caused by pathogens.
They also just published the paper showing that HALF of all back pain is caused by bacterial infection.
We need to stop funding studies that do not control for food additives and pathogenic influences.
I'm not kidding about the food additives either, they just found that polysorbate can create an airtight and electron gun proof shell around bugs, leaving them able to still reproduce.
This could allow the bugs to continue exuding the chemicals that releases the inflammation chems, putting your body in a permanent state of chem stress.
This Tween 20 is used in almost every bio, neuro, and pharmacuetical lab as cleansers, washes, and pre-observation stage of testing in the entire field.
If you are having troubles, the first thing to do is get a pcr test for t. gondi, or toxoplasmosis.
start here.
and i would read this, if you are having emotional swings and arthritis symptoms, this is easy and cheap to try. Read the hazards in the article.
(This is actually from the comment i posted on the above mentioned talk
Showing single comment thread. View the full conversation.
May 16 2013: let's just not jump to conclusions. the idea that mental illnesses can be caused by infections worth pursuing, but to draw the conclusion that all of them are is, 1., needs some more work and 2., not very likely.
question: can toxoplasmosis be cured? because if not, i see no reason to check.
May 17 2013: syphyllis is an infection that causes dementia and psychosis, B12 deficiency can cause psychosis, meningitis, is a viral and a bacterial infection of the brain that can cause mental deficiency and illness- so I say yes, of course infections can cause mental illness- It has been proven, and more sadly is common.

Plastic Bowl Scrapers: Good For More Than Scraping Bowls!
>A plastic bowl scraper is one of those innocuous tools that seems like it would just collect dust in the back of a drawer.
And yet, we find ours useful for a whole slew of kitchen tasks far beyond scraping bowls...
We use our scraper whenever we want a little more control than a regular spatula would give us.
Made of stiff plastic, these scrapers are still flexible enough to wedge under that first brownie out of the pan. The curved side can be used like a spatula to scrape the last bit of dough from a bowl, while flat edge can smooth the surface of cakes or brownies before baking.
We also like that we can use this tool to portion, scoop, and scrape food from pans and dishes without fear of scratching nonstick coating. The scraper makes a quick job of pushing purees through a tamis or strainer when we want a smoother consistency and the plastic won't tear the fine mesh.
These kinds of scrapers can also be found made of nylon or silicone and are readily available at most kitchen supply stores. Here are a few online sources:
• Plastic Bowl Scraper for $.80 at Amazon.com
• Ateco Bowl Scraper for $.99 at Cakes by Sam
• Chef Craft Plastic Dough Scraper for $.99 at Hardware and Tools
• Nylon Dough Scraper for $6.20 at AbleKitchen.com
• Silicone Dough Scraper for $7.95 at King Arthur Flour
How do you use your plastic scraper?

you can also use it to pick up chopped vegetables from your cutting board to deposit them into a pan
When you are kneading dough it helps get all the bits that stick. It helps to roll cinnamon rolls tightly. Anything sticking to the counter you can use the scraper to get it up. I use mone all the time.
opps MINE
If you're my old commercial baking instructor, one's always in your hand, like an arm extension. It was like "go go gadget bowl scraper!" He'd have a bunch in his front coat pocket, using them to measure out ingredients and scrape everything up off tables and out of bowls.
i use mine to cut shortening into flour when making pie crusts. i find it works beautifully and the rounded edge fits just perfectly in my mixing bowl.
aha! I can finally buy one with confidence! I couldn't decide between metal and plastic, and now I know I want a plastic one.

Fortunately for AC/DC fans, Proud has found Philip Morris, who photographed Australia's dinosaurs of rock in the Bon Scott years, before the singer's death from alcohol poisoning. Morris rode shotgun on the band's rise to rock royalty, documenting their electrifying energy and infectious humour along the way. Shots of the group in Lavender Bay during the High Voltage era are priceless, featuring enough testosterone (check out Bon's unapologetic sock bulge) to launch a nuclear warhead. They don't make 'em like that any more.
