Selling Your Good Ideas
In this month's StickyMinds, Karten has written a short article which may help your new ideas actually reach the ear of your colleagues: Developing Sales Savvy. She notes that, while sometimes you just get lucky, there are other times when how you sell can be as critical to your success as what you sell.
She offers brief explanations of the following selling techniques, for the non-salesperson:
- Emphasize how the buyers will benefit. Speak the buyer's language.
- Accommodate the buyer's communication preferences. How does the buyer like to give and receive information?
- Help the buyer sell. Sometimes the obstacle isn't the buyer, but the buyer's superiors.
- Be a patient persuader. Some buyers simply need time.
- Build trust before you start to sell. Buyers generally don't purchase from people they don't trust.
- Learn from rejection. If your attempted sale fails, try to find out why.
- Accept that you won't always make the sale.

Spurs' scoring binge ranks fourth against Memphis this season
After struggling against Memphis' defense in last year's playoffs, the Spurs got a measure of late revenge Thursday night by finishing off a season sweep of the Grizzlies with a 107-97 victory. Despite enduring two scoring droughts of more than five minutes apiece, the Spurs hung the second-most points against Memphis in a regulation game […] [Read More]
Gay, Mayo lead Grizzlies to 49-45 halftime lead
Rudy Gay scored 11 points and O.J. Mayo added eight to lead Memphis to a 49-45 halftime lead over the Spurs at the half. Memphis took control during a 13-0 run during the middle of the second quarter. During the stretch, the Spurs were held scoreless for 5:47. The Grizzlies claimed their largest lead at […] [Read More]
Neal likely to play, Allen out for tonight's game
Dogged Memphis forward Tony Allen, who earned the wrath of Spurs Nation during last year's playoffs because of his defense, will not play tonight against the Spurs. Allen, considered the Grizzlies' best defender, will miss his fifth consecutive game with a facial laceration. The injury occurred when he bumped into teammate Rudy Gay scrambling for […] [Read More]
Spurs 107, Grizzlies 97 – final
By Tim Griffin Tim Duncan matched his season-high with 28 points and grabbed 12 rebounds to lead the Spurs to a 107-97 victory over Memphis Thursday night at the AT&T Center. The Spurs' victory snapped a two-game losing streak as they avoided their first three-game losing streak of the season. Manu Ginobili scored 17 of […] [Read More]
Game rewind: Why Spurs relish this back-to-back
The Spurs were humbled and almost embarrassed after their shocking performance Wednesday night against the Los Angeles Lakers. It was a night to forget for the Spurs, who were dominated on the boards and struggled a poor shooting effort in a 98-84 loss. It was as complete a home loss as they have endured this […] [Read More]
Five quick thoughts: Spurs' trades didn't make Lakers any shorter
The Spurs have been receiving a lot of favorable national buzz since the trade deadline after adding Stephen Jackson, Boris Diaw and Patty Mills to their rotation. The extra players are nice, but they haven't made the Spurs any better equipped to face the Los Angeles Lakers' height that has always been their biggest advantage […] [Read More]

Five quick takes: Rest for 'Big Three' bigger than any streak
Tim Duncan, Tony Parker and Manu Ginobili all presumably were safely tucked away in their homes back in San Antonio Monday night, watching the action of their team on their big-screen televisions. None of the Spurs' "Big Three" were anywhere near the Energy Solutions Arena in Salt Lake City. Their teammates attempted to stretch their 11-game […] [Read More]
Game rewind: Boris in middle provides different look
It took about three weeks for Boris Diaw to crack the Spurs' starting lineup.

But Diaw's production in the Spurs' 114-104 victory over the Jazz […] [Read More]

New Releases: Halo Master Chief Collection, AC: Unity/AC: Rogue, Lego Batman 3, More
With Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare's launch behind us, game publishers have moved forward with a massive amount of mid-November releases. Chief among them (that's right, I went there) is Microsoft's Halo: The Master Chief Collection, an Xbox One repackaging of Halo: Combated Evolved, Halo 2, Halo 3, and Halo 4. More Achievements than you could ever ask for and four of the best shooters to ever grace a gaming system. Not a bad deal. Also available this week is a double shot of Assassin's Creed from Ubisoft. Assassin's Creed: Rogue (PS3, Xbox 360) closes the book on the franchise's "Americas" saga while Assassin's Creed: Unity (PC, PS4, Xbox One) shifts the series to the French Revolution.
The remaining new releases can also be slotted into several long-running franchises including WB's Lego Batman 3: Beyond Gotham (3DS, PC, PS3, PS4, Wii U, Xbox 360, Xbox One), Sega's Sonic Boom two-fer (Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric on the Wii U and Sonic Boom: Shattered Crystal on the 3DS), Bandai Namco's Tales of Hearts R (Vita), and Konami's Pro Evolution Soccer 2015 (PC, PS3, PS4, Xbox 360, Xbox One).
Finally this week, Blizzard is back with another World of Warcraft expansion… World of Warcraft: Warlords of Draenor.

CoD: Advanced Warfare, Binding of Isaac: Rebirth, MotoGP 14, more added to PS Store
Just like this week's retail release slate, most publishers avoided the PlayStation Store this week because the juggernaut that is Call of Duty has staked a permanent claim on the first Tuesday in November. This year's edition, Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare (PS4, PS3), adds Kevin Spacey and a near-future storyline to the mix.
But a few games have taken up the challenge, including Edmund McMillen's procedurally-generated action RPG, The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth (PS4, Vita). This expanded and updated edition of the game includes redone visuals and tons of other tweaks. Sony's own downloadable version of SingStar (PS4, PS3) was also released yesterday after a slight delay. Also available this week is Milestone's latest motorcycle racer, MotoGP 14 (PS4, PS4, Vita); a standalone download of Disney Infinity: 2.0 Edition (PS4, PS3); and a handful of other titles.
More information on all of these titles is available after the break and a complete rundown of this week's new game add-ons can be found at the PlayStation Blog. (more…)

Retro City Rampage: DX will be available on nearly every platform imaginable next week
Vblank Entertainment has announced that Retro City Rampage: DX, the expanded version of 2012's Retro City Rampage, will be available on nearly every video game platform beginning next week.
Retro City Rampage: DX will be available on November 11 for the PS4, PS3, and Vita as a Cross-Buy title. The game will be a separate download from the original PS3/Vita version and will priced at $9.99 ($7.99 for PlayStation Plus subscribers).
If you've already purchased Retro City Rampage on the other previously available platforms, the DX version will be available as a free update. The game will be available through the WiiWare Shop for Nintendo's Wii console on Thursday, November 13. The PC/Mac version will launch sometime next week, though the date is still to be determined. Finally, Retro City Rampage: DX is expected to be available for Xbox 360 next week through the Xbox Live Arcade, barring any last minute certification problems.
The DX version of Retro City Rampage was originally released for the 3DS earlier this year. This new version of the game fine-tuned everything about the Retro City Rampage experience including rebalanced missions, more checkpoints, tweaked controls, a complete graphical overhaul, and many more updates. A full rundown of the changes made to the DX version of the game can be found at Vblank's official website.
If this wasn't enough Retro City Rampage news for one day, stay tuned, because Vblank has promised "pretty big" RCR news will be announced later this month.
New Releases: CoD: Advanced Warfare, Wolf Among Us, Harvest Moon: Lost Valley, More
It's the first full week of November, so you know what that means, don't you? Activision is rolling out the latest entry in their Call of Duty franchise, Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare. Starring Kevin Spacey as Jonathan Irons, the head of a massive Private Military Contractor, the near-future shooter will be released for the PC, PS3, PS4, Xbox 360, and Xbox One.
Naturally, this also means that all of the other publishers are ducking Advanced Warfare and holding their big November games until later in the month. Sometimes Nintendo bucks the trend with a big game, but not this year. Instead, we get the 3DS game Harvest Moon: The Lost Valley (the first in the series to be developed in-house at Natsume) and Telltale's collected edition of The Wolf Among Us (PS3, PS4, Vita, Xbox 360, Xbox One). And speaking of collections, 2K Games bundled together BioShock Infinite: The Complete Edition for the PS3 and Xbox 360 this week.

Insert Quarter: A Profile of the Video Game Archivists at the Library of Congress
Insert Quarter is our showcase for some of the best and most interesting writing about video games on the Internet.
With more than 6,000 titles, the Library of Congress is home to one of the largest video game archives in the world. But the curation and management of the collection is in the hands of just four part-time employees. BuzzFeed's Joseph Bernstein reached out to these four men to learn how the Library of Congress is attempting to preserve America's gaming heritage and how much more still needs to be done:
No, the work of game copyrighting and archiving at our country's signal institution for cultural preservation is not done by a dedicated full-time staff. Instead, it's the passion project of a handful of archivists who want to be the new standard-bearers in the preservation of video games. Indeed, the state of video game collection at the Library is something of an expression of the liminal state of video games in American popular culture writ large. The Library recognizes the cultural importance of video games, but only devotes four people part-time to their archiving; Game companies insist that their products are the medium of the future, but don't trust archives with their source code; Collectors sell their troves on Craigslist and eBay rather than considering donation.
Even to get to this point, though, has been a journey in and of itself.

Kickstart This! Elegy For A Rough Year Edition
Analysts from ICO Partners recently reported that donations to video game projects on Kickstarter have seen a dramatic decline. They estimate that by the end of 2014, $27 million will have been pledged, compared to $58 million at the end of the previous year. A 50% reduction makes for grim reading if you are a game developer looking to launch a project, though it should be noted that 2014 is lacking in many of the big name campaigns that were launched in 2013.
Perhaps the bubble has already burst, or perhaps people have become pickier about which projects they participate in, disenfranchised by the multitude of disreputable characters who have tried time and again to launch projects with no aim of actually keeping their promises. As Evil As A Hobby discovered during their broad analysis back in January 2014, only one in three game projects launched between 2009 and 2012 delivered a finished product and accompanying rewards.
As I was finishing up this month's edition of Kickstart This!, Boston-based Dejobaan Games reached their funding goal for Elegy For A Dead World, "a game about writing fiction," according to the official description. It is awe-inspiring in its art design, offering a uniquely free reign in crafting the story of the game itself. Thankfully, there are more projects worthy of bringing to your attention. And that's the point. There will always be great games begging to be made. If there is less money out there, it means less great games, but perhaps it will also add some quality control to a system untamed by accountability.
Unfortunately, the game's deadline did not meet my own (although I did go on Twitter and rave about it). Thankfully, there are more projects worthy of bringing to your attention. And that's the point. There will always be great games begging to be made. If there is less money out there, it means less great games, but perhaps it will also add some quality control to a system untamed by accountability.
We kick things off with side-scrolling puzzle shooter Red Cobra, survival adventure Impact Winter, and sci-fi survival horror Extract 237. After that, there is mech vombat MOBA Voxelfield, and last, but not least, The Interactive Adventures of Dog Mendonça and Pizza Boy.
Yes, that last one is real. (more…)

No Longer Free Online - thoughts ?
I just noticed recently going the TBN that when I clicked on an articles it said something like I have 4 more free articles before I have to pay....
What is everyone's thoughts on having to pay to view TBN online ?
Personally I hardly ever go there anymore...I used to in the past when I was living out of town but since I have moved back to area I rarely visit it....
No way I am paying them...
For news both sports and local I'll use wgr, yahoo, and maybe some other local radio/tv online sites....
For anyone else who is not going pay where will you go for news ?
Or where do you go now for local news if you don't use TBN ?
Just not worth paying for. But, hypothetically, let's say that it was worth paying for... It's still very difficult to successfully start charging for something that was once free.
Chances are they are going to the same format as D&C here in Rochester. Include online access with a print subscription and raising the print subscription prices.
My mother gets the Sunday paper for the coupons. So, I had to go over there and set up her online access. It lets you have up to 5 users. So, I set up a password for myself as well. I don't think I'd pay for it.
Gone are the days of paying for something becuase you are being provided a service. Why read it if you don´t want to pay for it? If you want something to be successful then why not support it? It is sad that so many people have the opinion that everything should be free. They do not think about the employees needing to get paid and the business staying alive. They just want things to be free.
The Buffalo News is terrible anyway.
This is kinda old news, but yeah. It went into effect at the end of October.
Not sure why you'd want to though. They're a trash rag.
Since Jim Kelley passed away and Tim Graham's departure in 2007, the hockey coverage from TBN has been sub-par IMO.
What I find so ironic is how proud all of the TBN writers were of the attention their "Sabres Edge" blog attracted, in terms of internet hits, since it first went live. And while the blog provided a quick and informal way for them to post news items as they happened, it also gave each of them (Harrington and Gleason, especially) a forum to vent and link their own Twitter chats to. It was fast-food for Sabres' fans but hardly exclusive in terms of finding out news about the Sabres......and, in this age of the Internet and global media access on the spot, there are plenty of other resources for fans to read the same news. TSN, CBC, ESPN, Yahoo, etc. all had similar news - and whatever soundbytes or interviews that TBN would post in their blogs and articles were also available on WGR and the Sabres' own website.
The paywall is inconvenient, annoying, and poorly implemented. It will accomplish nothing by delaying the News' transition into a functional news entity, which they haven't been for some time.
It's unfortunate, but between their comment system and the quality of their sports writers... good luck.
Most of my Buffalo News sports reading comes in the form of quoted pieces on HF Boards, with accompanying abuse and comments. Obviously, this is much better, anyway.
In it's current form, TBN is dying a slow death.
"And the LORD did grin and the people did feast upon the lambs and sloths and carp and anchovies and orangutans and breakfast cereals, and fruit bats".
I, for one, like it. Make way for improvement.
Thousands of successful businesses offer a service to draw a large population toward ads and other services. The fact is that the buffalo news has been writing itself out of relevancy for years. Now it can't support itself with ad revenue and it's taking the chance that they can get more readers to pay for content that's largely available in a number of other places for free than they will chase away by doing something that a minority of other news sites do.
I believe Beechsack's addressed this once before, but to detail it for TBN access just block syncaccess.net with the NoScript add-on (tutorial) in Firefox; NotScripts is the extension in Chrome. You'd do that to bypass this script that executes their paywall:
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://www.syncaccess.net/bh/bn/api/scripts/syncwall"></script>
I doubt many will pay to read their garbage. Its just a shame that Vogl will go down with the ship. All the rest of the writers are morons tbh. No huge loss for us. =/ In fact this just gives me more reason to avoid the three year olds named Sullivan and Gleason. =/
If it weren't the only newspaper in town, I believe it would be out of business.
It's funny that they're trying to go to a model that failed for so many other print outlets in the '90's. The only person I know who is contemplating paying for it is my father, who reads the local fishwrap daily on his tablet while sitting in his easy chair in Florida. That's it.
This isn't because you feel like everything should be free or that you shouldn't have to pay for things that are of value to you. It's because the business that has set that expectation for their product, and now wishes to change their product without offering anything new.
You say that it's sad that so many people have the opinion that everything should be free. The fact is that businesses do this to themselves, and then find themselves faced with a lot of challenge once their costs or the market for their alternative sources of revenue run into trouble.
You can't just give something away for free for years and then decide you want to start charging for it. That's a business plan that's destined to fail.
I think any newspaper that does this is beyond stupid, but they at least need to be able to offer addition features/benefits to subscribers if they're going to put up a pay-wall. Ad revenue will plummet and their main demographic can't/won't/don't use the internet.
But-but by paying you still get access to their "super high quality* content"
What's even funnier that this is happening during a lockout, when their product is arguably weak for fans who are interested in Sabres articles. Splendid timing.

Hey all...
I've been using ProMash in preparation for brewing, and I'm trying to figure out the amount of water I'll need for mashout and sparge. The volume calculation for water is pretty easy when you're figuring one quart per pound of grain, but I'm having a bit of difficulty in figuring out the amount of boiling water to add to achieve a 170 degree mashout, and then the amount of water I'll need for the sparge. Since we're using a four gallon pot for the sparge water, I just want to be sure that it'll be big enough to get six gallons or so into the boil pot.
hey steve, check out this article by ray daniels from www.allaboutbeer.com. i use it for all my brews and it works great. www.allaboutbeer.com/homebrewing/water.html
each system will differ in water loss, but water loss in grains is pretty much the same. i use about 1.33 qts per pound of water for mash-in (and that's what the article is close to). but, you can tweak it to fit the desired mash thickness.

Educating More RNs on Nights and Weekends in New Jersey
Middlesex County College and the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey launched an evening/weekend program that increased enrollment in their joint nursing program by 50 percent.
Key Results
- The evening/weekend program increased the enrollment of nursing students at Middlesex County College from 40 to 60 every year from 2002 to 2004.
- Forty-three students graduated from the program during the grant period and all but one passed state licensing exams to become registered nurses.
The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) supported this project with a grant of $425,827 from April 2002 through April 2006.
See Grant Detail & Contact Information
Back to the Table of Contents
According to forecasts by the New Jersey site of Colleagues in Caring, a national program RWJF designed to increase nursing capacity, New Jersey was expected to have 18 percent fewer registered nurses than it needed by 2006.
Since 1990, approximately 40 nursing students had enrolled every year in a nursing program run jointly by Middlesex County College and the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey (UMDNJ). The program was offered on the Middlesex campus, with Middlesex faculty providing general education courses and UMDNJ faculty providing the nurse training. However, the evening and weekend component of the program was discontinued in 1997, primarily because of faculty shortages, and the number of qualified applicants to the day program far exceeded available slots.
Middlesex County College pursued a number of approaches to address the nursing shortages in the state. In 2002, Colleagues in Caring awarded the college a $15,000 grant to develop a bridge course to help licensed practical nurses become registered nurses. Grants from Johnson & Johnson and the Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital in 2003 and 2004 allowed Middlesex to expand its day nursing program.
The Middlesex County College Foundation raises funds to expand the educational opportunities available to qualified students.
RWJF funds a limited number of local institutions and projects in the New Brunswick area of New Jersey and throughout New Jersey, its home state, to honor the legacy of its founder and to recognize its special responsibilities to the community in which it is located.
Among its efforts to address the nursing shortage nationally, RWJF funded Ladders in Nursing Careers, a career advancement and health care workforce education program that operated in eight states from 1992 to 1997. See Grant Results on the program.
It also funded Colleagues in Caring: Regional Collaboratives for Nursing Work Force Development. The program supported 23 statewide and multicounty consortiums or collaboratives that worked on a regional basis to:
- Give nurses greater educational and career mobility.
- Align the supply of nurses more closely with marketplace demand.
- Develop programs to recruit and retain nurses.
- Affect public policy on nursing education and workforce issues.
It ran from 1994 to 2003. See Grant Results for more information.
Between 2002 and 2006, Middlesex County College and UMDNJ reinstated their two-year, evening/weekend nursing education program. The goal was for students to earn an Associate in Science degree in nursing and then to take a state licensing exam to become a registered nurse. Program planners expected that many of the students would also be working full time and would require tutoring and other personal attention.
According to a report to RWJF:
- The evening/weekend program increased the enrollment of nursing students at Middlesex County College from 40 to 60 every year from 2002 through 2004. Retention rates were low in the first year, partly because many students were trying to complete non-nursing course requirements while also taking nursing courses. In 2003, Middlesex added a requirement that students participating in the evening/weekend program first complete all but seven of their non-nursing courses, which "significantly" increased the retention rates for subsequent classes.
- Forty-three students graduated from the program (10 in 2004, 16 in 2005 and 17 in 2006). All but one of those students passed a state licensing exam - 40 in New Jersey and two elsewhere - to become registered nurses.
- Middlesex County College added academic and counseling support services. Some of these services were targeted specifically at the evening/weekend nursing students while others were more widely available to students needing extra support:
- Three faculty members were designated "academic support counselors" and provided tutoring to evening/weekend nursing students, as did a peer mentor. A teaching assistant provided tutoring to any student enrolled in a health services program.
- Through a grant from the National Student Nurses' Association, Middlesex hired a student learning assistant six hours a week to provide additional tutoring and support to nursing students.
- Nursing faculty provided weekly vocational and academic counseling to potential applicants who required enrichment courses before applying to the nursing program.
- Nursing faculty created two new online courses. "Principles and Practice of Health Promotion" and "Family Health Across the Life Span" were available both to Middlesex nursing students and to nursing programs at other schools.
- Develop strategies to enhance program retention. As a result of the poor retention in the program's first year, in 2003, Middlesex added the requirement that participating students first complete all but seven of their non-nursing courses. (Project Director/Kozlowski)
- Seek adequate resources so that new programs are self-sustaining. Because this grant did not provide sufficient funds for faculty salary increases, the participating institutions had to make up the shortfall. (Project Director/Kozlowski)
- Prepare for nursing faculty shortages. The limited supply of experienced nurse educators forced the program to hire instructors with little or no experience. "Novice educators need considerable faculty development," commented the project director. (Project Director/Kozlowski)
The evening/weekend nursing program concluded at the end of the grant period.
UMDNJ will continue to provide faculty for 40 students in the day program until Middlesex County College finalizes a new partnership for the nursing initiative with Raritan Bay Medical Center. Once that partnership is in place, the evening/weekend program is expected to resume, admitting students again in 2010.

In a sneak peek of the simmering ABC show's winter finale – exclusively on PEOPLE.com – Jake (Scott Foley) makes sure Olivia (Kerry Washington) is armed and ready to take on Papa Pope.

ABC has raised the ire of the Parents Television Council after it scheduled the annual Halloween special It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown right before Scandal last Thursday – and transitioned in seconds from kids' TV to a steamy sex scene.

On Thursday night's episode of Scandal, Olivia Pope (Kerry Washington) watched the apple of President Fitz's eye turn sour, all while Jake's secret plan to out her father floundered, taking him down with it.
It's the first daughter's turn at a little, er, a lot of mischief. She and some friends snuck out of school to a party where they danced, drank and took drugs. Basic teen misbehaving until she lands herself in a threesome with two unknown boys, one of whom ends up taping the tryst – including scenes of an I-don't-even-want-to-know sex act called "Eiffel Towering" – and sends her the clip as a kinky keepsake.

My fixture no longer works, we have traced the problem to the connecting plug to the wires that go to the outllet.. Where can I buy a replacement switch?A. The Quorum International Q734-3 is a hard wired fixture, and doesn't actually plug into an outlet. So if you made any modifications to the fixture we can't get a replacement part unfortunately.
Can I put this lantern on a Craftmade Z8994 Post? I would prefer a post with a built in receptacle and the Quorum posts do not seem to offer that option.A. Yes, it is compatible as it is a standard 3" diameter.

Breakfast is great. New, nice and clean hotel. Very near Ginza area. Across hotel is Donki, the discount store open 24 hours.
No bellboys. No body lotion.
Clean and modern Friendly and helpful staff Next to 24 hours donki
Price getting higher every time
Comfortable bed Friendly and obliging staff
Small room No gym
The hotel starts above the 16th floor of the building so the rooms command a view from a height across Tokyo. Spacious lobby and friendly staff. The rooms are a reasonable size and quiet. The hotel is well located for the Ginza shops and it's easy to walk or get the Metro across the city. Plenty of restaurants nearby. Terrific stay for a couple of nights.
Restaurant had great views but it was pricey, especially for breakfast, as was the bar, though this is a city where the prices are probably on a par with London.
The hotel is very close to Shinbashi train station (subway and JP, where there are many restaurants and bars), very new and clean. The staff are very nice. What I value most is the easy access from airports and free wifi at room. From Narita airport, there are limousine buses to the hotel. From Haneda airport, you can get to Shinbashi station using subway without transit. But from the Shinabashi subway station, if you have luggage, it's better to take a taxi to the hotel, or walk to the JR station and take the Ginza exit as there is no escalator or elevator to take you to ground level if you walk underground to the nearest exit to the hotel. You can reserve the limousine bus from the hotel to Narira airport, but it's better to reserve it as early as possible as the bus stops at several hotels.
The only thing we didn't like is the room is very small. After we opened two suitcases, there seems no more room for moving around.
The interiors from the ground floor entrance to the lobby, to the room itself were really lovely. Very elegant! The lobby level has a full restaurant with limited hours as well as a very pleasant bar/café that was open consistently. The Wi-Fi worked reliably; the staff was friendly and efficient. We had to check out at noon, but our flight was at 6 pm, so they gladly held our luggage for a few hours so we could get out for one last round of sight-seeing. The rooms were spacious by Tokyo standards and had all the necessary amenities, including desk, loveseat, coffee fixings for the morning (thank god), a closet with a user-friendly safe, and robes and slippers. The bed was comfortable and clean. The bathroom was quite nice with a separate shower / tub room (something we saw in other hotels too, and really loved) and the wall of the shower that faced the sleeping area had a window you could set to be transparent or opaque at the push of a button so you could look out the window to the city while showering. Which is worth noting because, the views! My god, the views! We were on the 24th floor and had the most wonderful view of Tokyo!
No complaints!
view is great and walking distance to Ginza wining and dining and shopping area.
No documetn scanning service for guests. Only one piece of luggage deposits possible for guests. Advance payment at checkin. All of these are not normal at other premium hotels in Tokyo.
Good value hotel in prime location. Room in great condition. Near to subway, shops, food options. Airport limo bus is a bonus! Near to Imperial Palace, which offers scenic running route.
The location of the hotel, the comfort of the room, service was very good. Our bathroom, if you sit in the bathtub you can see Tokyo tower at night. So romantic.
The size of the room is very small but its a usual size of to Tokyo hotel
Location cannot be beat - walk to Ginza area, Tsukiji fish market etc. Great views of Tokyo and clean well appointed rooms.
Somewhat soul-less, we didn't really hang out much in the hotel itself. Staff was generally stickler for rules and didn't seem to go out of their way to accommodate requests (like a few hours early check-in)
All you need as a base in Tokyo. Perfect location, great bar, clean, modern interior and professional staff.
Rooms could be a little bigger, but then you really can't complain vs price.
Asked for 1 hour late check-out and they strictly refused ! 1 hour doesn't hurt =) since our flight is late.
This a good class Western style hotel on the 16th floor and above, hence good views. The rooms are comfortable and well equipped. Near to a park and river as well as major shops etc.
There is no coffee shop for a snack. Twenty minute walk from Tokyo station but quite close to a local station.
No gym or pool facilities, for this price they should offer something
Location - proximity to subway and railway HUB - proximity to shopping (exclusive and not so exclusive) - wide variety of restaurants and cuisines within walking distance Complimentary drinks in room Vending machine and ice machine on the same floor No fuss WiFi in my room Bathroom especially the washlet Amenities Breathtaking view Efficient use of space.
We could not find the instructions to the TV remote - as it was all in Japanese. Hence we could not find any English channels if any. Noisy air conditioning Small room size - but I suspect this is to be expected in Tokyo.
clean, good location, helpful staff
room very small, bed right up against the window.We'd paid around £170 a night, and had expected more for our money. Had to pay a fee to check in 3 hrs early, which we thought was a bit mean.
1. Location - very convenient 2. Hotel staffs - friendly
1. The room was too small that I had no space to open my suitcase 2. No airport buses to Haneda airport (or I missed something...)
Friendly and smiling staff all around, close to central fish market and ginza, luggage courier service in the hotel lobby
needs subway ride to Tokyo station
location services
a little bit expensive not very large room, but still OK
Close to every thing
Stylish ++++ boutique hotel feel, perfect location, views of Mt Fuji with breakfast, bullet trains passing by below.
No room service, strict check in time and then everyone trying to check in at same time.
good location .good value for money
I like the space in the hall, the high ceilings and grand entrance
Cafe could have more seats and open throughout the times
I stay many Hotel in Tokyo because every week talking and meeting about my business Tomuch Hotel i'm choice and pay for a good sleep , good service but commonplace The mitsut garden very good for me sleep very good service very good verything for me not tomuch price Just 25000¥ yen stay here ^^ u wil happy
Excellent location close to Shimbashi station and within walking distance of Ginza and much of downtown Tokyo Very courteous efficient and helpful staff. Excellent restaurant. Very comfortable beds and pillows Great views

Ferg's Sports Bar in downtown St. Petersburg is the Official home of Tampa Bay sports fans.
In 1992, Mark Ferguson, a teacher at Southside Middle School, had a concept of opening a sports bar in a run down area known as the "Gas Plant District" on the Edge of downtown St. Petersburg. With the help of family & friends, Mark purchased a Sunoco gas station across from the Suncoast Dome (now Tropicana Field), home of Arena Football team Tampa Bay Storm. Soon after, the Tampa Bay Lightning arrived and provided some capital and exposure to take Ferg's dream a step further. The dream finally came full circle with the announcement that Major League Baseball had been awarded to St. Petersburg with the Devil Rays (now Tampa Bay Rays) in 1995. Ferg's has expanded to Tampa (across from the Amalie Arena) and Church Street Station in Orlando.
The buildings are a testament to Ferg's investment in his community. The wood flooring was acquired from many of the areas old school gymnasium floors, the walls are lined with hardwood from the old "All Children's Hospital". In fact almost all of Ferg's is constructed from the area's recycled materials. Encompassing almost two city blocks, there is truly something for everyone at Ferg's. 70+ TVs, awesome menu, craft beers, signature burgers and delicious wings. Indoor and outdoor seating include live music, friendly staff and easy access to the "Trop" through the tunnel under 1st Avenue South that leads directly to the stadium property.
"If you build it they will come". Ferg's Sports Bar and Grill is now a city institution. Visitors come from near and far to catch a little of the "Ferg's" experience. Voted "Top 100" Sports Bars by CNN.

PLYMOUTH, Maine — A state trooper is OK after a flying turkey flew into the windshield of his cruiser on Interstate 95 Thursday morning.
Trooper Tucker Bonnevie was on patrol in the southbound lanes when he saw a flock of turkeys in the highway's median, Maine State Police spokesman Stephen McCausland said.
One turkey took flight before it struck the trooper's windshield, McCausland said. A large dent was left in the windshield on the driver's side, he added.
Bonnevie managed to escape injury, while damage to the cruiser was confined to the windshield.

If it's in various positions around the garden it might be worth asking other neighbours if they have it too. If they have, and you're in any doubt, I expect a call to the council would be worthwhile as they might come and take a look to put everyone's mind at ease.Depends how nice they are!
Yes the leaves grow alternately on JK Paul. My ex husband moved into a new house a year or two ago and there was JK on the adjoining, council owned, woodland. It's been chemically treated.
I think the stems are a bit redder on JK. Is there a lot of it Paul, and what sort of height is it just now?
I had the same problem at a previous house LH. The little mouse came out during the day to pinch bits and pieces. He made a little nest in the garage during the winter with some leaves in the corner of some polystyrene I used for the bottom of pots. It must have been nice and cosy! I'm not sure of the best way to prevent it especially if you're bringing the feeder in at night. Do you use a bird table for the blackies or do you feed them on the ground? Putting out small amounts - little and often on a table - might help so that it's all eaten quickly and there's very little underneath. The trouble with hanging feeders is that bits get spilt all the time so it's hard to avoid stuff on the ground. Perhaps if you only have a table for a while it might help. Even a kind of makeshift one
I meant to tell you last week doc - the Pixies were on one of the Sky Arts channels in concert. If you've got cable tv it's bound to be on again at some point
If it's covered in moss - it a bit shady Dan? Heathers prefer a bit of sun so maybe that's why it's not doing much. A pic would be great if you can manage it.
However, Periwinkles will grow there - Vinca. The flowers are shades of blue or purple and there's also a white variety. Hardy Geraniums will be happy there whether it's sunny or a bit shady and they come in lots of colours. Easy to obtain and maintain. Euonymous are variegated shrubs which will be happy there - no real flowers but evergreen and easy to keep. Brunnera is another useful low grower and is also evergreen - small blue flowers on those usually - it likes a bit of shade but it doesn't like it too dry so if you can give a bit more info on the conditions that would really help. Lamium also likes a similar situation to Brunnera. Small purple/pink/white flowers depending on variety
And do you have a 'robin' living in the 'bat cave' too Dove?
Pond will be great. I had a couple of mature trees near my pond in a previous house - pond was a similar size. Just net it. No problem.
doc - it's ok - we'll just whisper
Loverly pic chicky. I'm not a fan of roses but I do like climbers.
Work for me in minute too. Off to put washing out first and then I'll keep my fingers crossed. Hope I might get something done outside later
I see the spammers have been out again. There was another one about moving house which I reported but he's posted on another thread as well, trying to make it look legit. They don't give up easily do they?
Have a good day all - whatever you're up to
1 is definitely a very sad Rosemary clari!
5 looks like a Hosta when you enlarge and 6 might be another one. 8 is a geranium and probably the one Salino mentioned. I have it here but it's out of sight!
All the others as already mentioned.
Jools - it makes you wonder who's the mug nowadays doesn't it? When you try to do it the right way, you're the one who gets the grief.
Trespass isn't a criminal offence jeannie - it's only if there's damage, and frankly the police don't give a toss anyway. It's a bleeping joke. I had the same attitude when I politely asked people not to let their children run through my garden. Some of the replies were 'well you've got that bit fenced off so...', 'it's only grass', 'this is a family area, why did you move here?', it's not like he's picking your flowers' and 'what is your problem?' - that one was in a Vicky Pollard style complete with the shoulder movement ... It was the manner in which it was said that was the real issue. No respect for anyone or anyone's property. An older woman said to me one day - 'they think when they buy a house they've bought the whole street'.

November 29, 2014
Posted Sunday, January 20, 2013 --- 6:41 p.m.
Press Release from the Dodge Co. Sheriff's Department:
At about 3:12 PM, Dodge County Sheriff Communications received a 911 call reporting a car that had gone through the ice on Beaver Dam Lake. About 3 minutes later, the driver of the car called 911 as well. Kyle Daniels, 19 years old, rural Beaver Dam, was driving his car on the ice when it broke through and submerged up to the roof. Daniels was standing on the roof when he called. Daniels was able to get away from the vehicle and walk to the Beaver Dam Fire Dept. hovercraft that was searching for him and his vehicle. He was brought to shore by the hovercraft and did not request medical treatment.
Open water was reported in an area not far from where the car broke through. This area is generally described as being near the group of islands north of Airport Rd on the southwest portion of the lake. Recent strong winds and a relatively mild winter have created ice conditions that vary on area lakes as well as open water areas and heaves. Motor vehicle traffic is discouraged on the ice and extreme caution should be used, especially during darkness.

U.S. security officers found dead on 'Captain Phillips' ship
Two American security officers have been found dead on a ship made famous when it was hijacked by Somali pirates, according to Seychelles police.

NAIROBI, KENYA—Two American security officers have been found dead on a ship made famous when it was hijacked by Somali pirates, according to a statement by Seychelles police on Wednesday.
Jeffrey Reynolds and Mark Kennedy, both 44, were found dead Tuesday in a cabin on the Maersk Alabama, according to the police. The ship was hijacked by pirates in 2009, an event dramatized in the movie Captain Phillips, starring Tom Hanks.
Read more on thestar.com:
The ship was berthed in Port Victoria in the Indian Ocean island nation of Seychelles.
The police gave no cause of death but said a post-mortem has been scheduled.
The U.S. Coast Guard stated from its headquarters in Washington that it is also investigating the deaths.
The two men worked for U.S.-based Trident Security, according to the Seychelles police statement. Former military personnel frequently provide protection against pirate attacks to ships sailing through the waters off Somalia.
Trident Security was founded by former U.S. navy SEALs in 2000 and employs former special warfare operators. Requests to Trident for information were not immediately answered on Wednesday.
The Maersk Line said the cause of death is under investigation but is "not related to vessel operations or their duties as security personnel."
The ship made headlines around the world with the 2009 hijacking. The five-day standoff ended when Navy SEALs shot and killed three of the pirates who were holding Capt. Richard Phillips in a lifeboat.

From the Real Dirt: Small Garden Pests
November 14, 2014
Vertebrate pests can pose a serious threat to the achievement of one's "dream garden" by wreaking havoc on plants and vegetables literally overnight. They feed or gnaw on the roots of ornamental plants, vines, shrubs and trees, and even plastic water lines.
In our area, pocket gophers, moles, voles and ground squirrels can do quite a lot of damage in a short amount of time. All of these animal pests are underground dwellers, and spend much of their lives out of human sight. Usually the first sign of their presence...

What follows is a selection of quotes from early fathers on veiling and women's attire. I'll let them speak for themselves.
But we admonish you, too, women of the second (degree of) modesty, who have fallen into wedlock, not to outgrow so far the discipline of the veil, not even in a moment of an hour, as, because you cannot refuse it, to take some other means to nullify it, by going neither covered nor bare.
(...) Arabia's heathen females will be your judges, who cover not only the head, but the face also, so entirely, that they are content, with one eye free, to enjoy rather half the light than to prostitute the entire face.
It is incumbent, then, at all times and in every place, to walk mindful of the law, prepared and equipped in readiness to meet every mention of God; who, if He be in the heart, will be recognised as well in the head of females. To such as read these (exhortations) with good will, to such as prefer Utility to Custom, may peace and grace from our Lord Jesus Christ redound
- Tertullian, "On the Veiling of Virgins." approx 200 AD
"Let the woman observe this, further. Let her be entirely covered, unless she happens to be at home. For that style of dress is grave, and protects from being gazed at. And she will never fall, who puts before her eyes modesty, and her shawl; nor will she invite another to fall into sin by uncovering her face. For this is the wish of the Word, since it is becoming for her to pray veiled." [Clement, The Instructor 3.12]
Clement of Alexandria, Egypt, approx 190 AD
"And let all the women have their heads covered with an opaque cloth, not with a veil of thin linen, for this is not a true covering."
-- Hippolytus (200 AD), Apostolic Tradition
"Woman, because she was created by being drawn from man's side, is constantly trying to return to him. She desires the original unity of one flesh and one bone. The desire for unity between man and woman is a mirror of the relationship between Christ and the soul. As woman longs for union with man in human relationships, she is also drawn to unity with God. He calls her to become one with Him: to come under His side and become flesh of His flesh and bone of His bone. This occurs during reception of the Eucharist. The covering of the head with a veil symbolizes the reality of woman sheltered in the side of her Source and becoming one with Him. She becomes covered and hidden in her Divine Spouse."
~ St. John Chrysostom, Father and Doctor of the Church
