I had to buy a new domain with Hostgator because I accidentally let my domain expire. I have been trying to get the old domain to point to the new and have been having so much trouble! I've been working on it for a week! I used godaddy last year and someone suggested Hostgator. For some reason blogger told me I have to buy webhosting from someone else, so I bought it from Hostgator. I don't understand why I would have to do this when blogger is free. Any ideas? My new domain name is still pointing to hostgator. I wish blogger had a phone number. Their helper section is not helpful.

Tanya, in the settings area in blogger there is an area where you can set it if you have your own domain name. This area in Blogger should help you set the domain name so that it points to your new blog in Blogger. If you have to do it manually, then you will need to get the IP address of your site on blogger and then update in Host Gator.
Go to your Blogger dashboard and then click "settings". Look under the publishing heading and you will see a place for you enter your own domain name. For further setting instructions looks for this phrase "Your domain must be properly registered first. email@example.com

Rated 2 out of 5 by Poplar Not a happy platinum
Checked in on Monday 6/18 and had to be placed on the second floor on the wing instead of the main tower. was told the club floor was full. (really?) Anyway went to the lounge and found out that had no access. Went to the front desk and asked to grant me access. The clerk looked at my record and told me I am not a platinum. Asked her to double check my SPG number she said that my status had expired which I know it did not. Asked them to look up on the file to find my correct SPG number. They said they could not find it. Went back to my room, logged in and made sure my status is still Platinum and got my number. Went back to the front desk they finally updated my record. Gave the key card to the clerk asked her to rekey my access. She said there was no need she already gave me access. So I went up to the lounge only to find out the key still did not work, I went back to the front desk and questioned how could it be so many errors which caused me great inconvenience. The clerks insisted that she gave me access and refuse to go to the lounge with me to verity. Finally my card key was replaced but no explanation or apology.
I have stayed and enjoyed the hotel many time in this year but now I don't feel like coming back anymore.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Shoemaker Saved in Salt Lake City
SLC's largest trade show of the year just finished. Because of its size, any decent hotel is booked completely through the show's Housing Authority. For some unknown reason my housing reservation was dropped from their system so I had to make one on my own. The facility was modest at best -- in need of repair and no transportation available. I called the Sheraton, explained my situation and my Platinum status with SPG. They were in a SOLD OUT position. The following morning I received a call advising that they had a room for me for two nights.
Loyalty has its rewards and I certainly appreciated Sheraton's going above and beyond to accommodate me.

Rated 2 out of 5 by MbMe Gorgeous Hotel...Terrible Customer Service
*Please disregard the typos I'm using my Iphone...This sprawling hotel is gorgeous! I loved the spacious rooms, Starbucks in the lobby (the barista was amazing) I appreciated the convenience of being downtown BUT all that is diminished by the horrific front desk staff.
You'll be greeted coldly by the front desk staff, are you a platinum member? There may be no rooms available for you despite the massive hotel. there won't be any apologies. She will say "Yes" instead of hello and welcome. While she clicks on her computer you won't exist. It's quite possible your room won't be cleaned and if you ask for it be cleaned (after a long day at work) you'll get attitude followed by a poor job missing amenities and no clean towels provided. If you ask for a bottle of water you will again be greeted with incredible rude attitude and it will be shoved into your hands. Yes, you'll stand there in disbelief.
After expressing your discomfort you'll be told "if you have an issue talk to my manager"who you'll discover also has little value for you comfort.
I provide this feedback as a regular international traveler who works for a fortune 500 company, travels 3 weeks a month 4 nights a week.
There are so many beautiful hotels in that area...save yourself the frustration and stay elsewhere. I'm certain if you do you're experience will match the gorgeous scenery SLC has to offer.

Rated 4 out of 5 by StevefromToronto Nice hotel, friendly staff
Received a nice & friendly greeting at the hotel, acknowledged my status and got a room on the club floor. Room was a good size with a large bathroom, the internet seemed unreliable, had to babysit the connection. Club room was nice with some food for breakfast & dinner including free beer / wine. Free business center. Provided very convenient free shuttle service to and from the airport. Staff was helpful & knowledgeable, very willing to answers questions re events in town.

Rated 5 out of 5 by scarrey Acommodating, Comfortable, Affordable & Pet Friendly - Who could ask for more!
Arrived into Salt Lake City early morning after a long drive cross country and a presentation to deliver that evening. With no reservation; a tight budget; a full size dog; and desperately in need of sleep; I feared options for rest close to my speaking engagement venue were pretty much non-existent. I had this impression because of the classiness and quality of Sheraton's that not only would it be out of my price range but figured my dog would be an issue too. I looked at a few local places online before walking across the street to the Sheraton close to where I needed to be that evening; mostly so I could rule it out was really my thinking. Instead I discovered all of my assumptions couldn't have been further from the truth. The friendliest staff greeted me, and my dog, who was welcomed as a respected guest and there was no additional fee for him to stay, and it just keeps getting better from there. I was offered a great rate, lower even than lesser quality neighboring hotels, they accommodated an early check-in, and the room was spacious, pristine and the bed more comfortable than even my own at home. It was quiet and filled with amenities and such a relaxing ambiance that within minutes both I and my dog had drifted off into peaceful slumber. The included wifi proved very helpful with work and personal needs and the Starbucks in the lobby made for a perfect breakfast stop the next day, even though I had already enjoyed a fresh brewed cup in the in-room machine provided. When I booked the room and was automatically enrolled in the SPG program, I didn't think much of it, as I had no awareness that I was about to have one of the best hotel experiences I have had in all of my many years of travel and that I would be so grateful to be a member of what without question is the very first choice of where to stay on any trips for the foreseeable future.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Buffalo83 nice hotel
Had two stays over a one week period. hotel was extremely accommodating to me to find a room with my specific needs on short notice and during a period of high occupancy.
hotel is older exterior and somewhat dated lobby area. However, rooms and other common areas are recently updated and modern.
CHECKIN - smooth. used the plat counter, no wait. staff was extremely friendly and efficient. Recognized me as a plat both times, pointed out the lounge and hotel features, and posted my amenity w/o a problem. upgraded to the club floor both times (during full occupancy)
ROOM - room was modern, though appears and feels somewhat small. Bath was updated. room and amenities were in line w/ brand standards. Room was clean, and no complaints with housekeeping.
LOUNGE - great lounge. large morning and evening spread. one of the better sheraton lounges i've seen. the lounge attendant took great pride in the offerings, and was attentive and thorough.
EXERCISE ROOM - Somewhat small exercise room that felt cramped. 4 treadmills, 2 bikes, 2 elliptical, a weight machine, and free weights. was quite busy at 530 AM both mornings i used it.
OTHER - hotel has a great bar. feels like a real bar, nicely set up and a lot of fun. Free parking was also a plus. Location is right at the fringe of downtown... not the most central location, but walkable if you are in shape. Location was safe though. used the internet 2 nights, one night was quick, one night was so slow it was unusable.
Overall, i'd rate the hotel 4.5 stars (only dings for the cramped exercise room, smaller rooms, bad internet one night, and dated appearance). Will def return again

Rated 3 out of 5 by eugmember Great looking hotel, not great infrastructure
I was very impressed when I first walked in to the hotel. The decor is very contermporary and quite pleasing. As soon as I entered my room, I had a smell of some kind of glue. I am still not sure what it was. I then turned on the tv and tuned to fox news. Even though the tv was a large LCD, the picture was terrible and the sound faded in and out. After that let down, I turned on my laptop and connected to the wifi. It was terribly slow. Pages took a long time to load and it seemed like I had to reconnect several times. I was attending a conference and I had heard the hotel was sold out, so my options were very limited. I decided that I could live with those initial dissappointments. The next morning however the straw broke the camel's back. The shower didn't even work. No water would come out of the shower head at all. I notified the front desk about the cable and the shower and was offered a starbucks coupon. She said that engineering would visit my room and repair the issue. She also mentioned that the cable system was being repaired. I was pleased with her concern for the issue. When I returned to my room there was a note from engineering that the problem had been resolved. The next morning however I discovered it was not. I ended up having to wedge a lotion bottle in the tub spout to make the water come out of the shower. Very frustrating way to start my day. Overall, I was not pleased with the hotel. I feel like they poured a lot of money into fancy furniture and nice fixtures but they spent very little on updating the infrastructure of the hotel. I travel a lot for work and the only two things that I really care about are high speed internet and a good shower. This hotel, while catering to businesses for conferences, provided neither to me.

Rated 1 out of 5 by UnhappyGuest2012 Poorly managed hotel - you should avoid if you can
Quick summary:
-- Hotel management committed but didn't follow-up
-- With their body language and the words they used they made us feel like a problem that was clearly the hotel's technical issue was our fault somehow
-- After multiple discussions about the problem we were having, the same folks at the front desk within a matter or a few hrs refused to recognize us. And behaved like we had never discussed it with them before.
More details:
After trying for 2 days the hotel management couldn't get keys to work for our room. I understand technical issues happen and if we were treated better I would not be upset. But the hotel front desk staff and managers handled the situation very poorly.
They committed multiple times to look into it and assured us that they would follow up shortly, but they never did and when we reached out a few hrs later they had made no progress or from the sound of it had made no attempts to fix things.
We had to reschedule our vacation plans because every time we returned to the room it took them a long time to find someone who would let us back into the room.
Also, what annoyed me most was how they made us feel like this was our fault somehow and that they had little interest in resolving things. Some examples: every time I went to the front desk the same people who I had previously discussed the problem with didn't remember ever hearing about it and of course didn't recognize me. They used words like "sorry, I'm confused, I'm not sure what you're talking about." When they finally decided to give up trying to fix the lock, they gave us a suite worse than the one we had initially reserved, didn't offer to move our things between rooms, and as before made us wait for a long time before letting us in to the room to pack up our things.
I would expect more from SPG!

Rated 5 out of 5 by brianlynn2013 over all
we stayed here on Dec 11 and the overall feeling was amazing. the rooms were fantastic in their set up and were clean. we checked in and had our room on the 10th floor waiting for us. the front desk gave us directions to walk and enjoy this beautiful city. The 10th floor lounge and TC running it make this place one step better than others. She is funny polite and helpful to make sure all your needs are looked after. We met three men who come here for 10 years at this same time who come here for her not just the hotel. We will recommend this hotel to all our friends travelling through. Also love all the decorations for the holidays

Rated 3 out of 5 by buylowsellhigher A "no frills" Sheraton
Stayed here 3 times for a total of 12 nights between Dec '11 and Mar'12. Main purpose is for leasure, as a downtown hotel to stay at for my fly-in ski trips. I'm a frequent guest of Starwood Properties and stay on average ~30 nights a yr mostly on biz travel.
Compared to the other Sheraton's I've stayed at, the Sheraton SLC is an "up to par" "no frills" SPG property. Its an older property that completed, in my opinion a minor renovation/face lift.
Location is prime, free parking is a bonus, proximity to slopes, and the number of SPG points to get a free room is a "bargain". This is what brings me back to the Sheraton SLC.
However compared to other Sheratons I've stayed at, SLC probably ranks among the last. This was probably one of the "black sheep" Sheratons to which a renovation was forced upon the property. I feel that it just went thru a minor facelift for lobby and room.
The staff also doesn't feel as "polished" as the typical SPG property... either the corporate politics here or minimalist training. Quality of service offered can be reflected in both front desk service, housekeeping as well as room condition.
The first stay was A-OK, no real problems except swing shift front desk guys making lots of noise at night and a homeless drifter cruising thru the floors looking for recyclables.
Second stay: Door kept malfunctioning, housekeeper recognized the problem, but engineering never addressed it. Tub was also clogged, towel rack in front of the sink comes off easily, housekeeper didn't close my door shut after cleaning.
Third stay: 6th floor, non-spg floor. Didn't come with free bottled water despite gold status, they'd deliver it to me free of charge (with exception of tip) every time but I'd always have to call the request in. The towel rack in front of sink was also loose.
Note: These are just my detailed observations of the property, YMMV... I still recommend this property and will still come back. Although its just that the instance of strange "issues" happens way more often than other SPG properties. I feel that better staff training will improve the SPG experience geatly.

Rated 3 out of 5 by Bde74 My stay.
I have stayed at this particular hotel on numerous occasions. This particular time it's seems we might have had a customer service break down. My arrival was very welcomed, the hotel shuttle driver was very polite and went out of his way to assist me in any kind of way.
Upon arrival the staff had my room keys ready and seem to be very polite. The problem started when I reached my room. The termostat was not functioning correctly, I couldn't not turn the heat down. Around midnight I couldn't take It and called the front desk, well the phone never was answered. I opened the sliding glass to get some cool air and toy surprise I revived cool and the Salt Lake City traffic noise. Well you can imagine how my sleep went that night.
Upone waking up the next day to my own alarm clock because the clock in the room was a whole hour off, why I don't know.
I went down stairs to have breakfast in the restaurant and I started to give my last name and room number. I was told I was under the impression that platinum member take their breakfast in the restaurant, was I sadly mistaken. I was told not all the time. Ok thanks you for that info because I always have taken my breakfast here.
Well after being told by the front desk staff I can take my breakfast in the lounge on the 10th floor I said thank you.
Well arriving at the 10 floor I notice cereal and other certain breakfast items. No take away fruits nor and meat, I ask the lounge attendant is their any meat on the bar. She stated "no". I ask well do we have fruit I can take with me or a granola bar. She gave a granola bar out of a basket that was seated on the floor. I told her I would be fine and have a nice day.
I wanted to bring this to the attention of the hotel staff, but notice I had ran out of time running around tired from the lack of sleep and trying to locate a breakfast for myself. I gave up and just headed out to catch my flight. Once again the fantastic shuttle driver apologized for the mishaps of my stay. I stated to him thank you but it's truly not your fault for the ball being dropped. But I spend way to much money at your hotel with my stays to be treated like this. Thank you.

Rated 3 out of 5 by jay59 Room keys
We had two rooms, and the keys didn't work half the time. It is so frustrating to not be able to get in to the room. On more than one occasion we went back to the desk and got new keys that didn't work also. Your maid service is horrible. We called on Saturday at 10am and asked to have our room made up, and at 2pm it still wasn't. Every time we asked the maids for help in getting into our room, we got empty stares from them. Even if they don't speak english, they should at least be able to pick up a phone and get help. TRAIN THESE PEOPLE!! Very disappointed, and I could not recommend your hotel. Not up to Sheraton standards!

Rated 3 out of 5 by Rolaids Close to Downtown and Light Rail Line
• Great location near the heart of downtown, light rail stop is just a couple of blocks away
• Lobby provided free internet access, checker board tables, fireplace and comfortable chairs
• Shuttle service was prompt and as long as they didn't have an airport run, they would take you all over downtown
• Plenty of free parking for hotel and conference guests on the north and east side of the hotel
• Starbucks on property
• Check-in desks were stand-alone islands; each had 2 large computer screens on them which hid the view of the staff member greeting you. This set up also left guests without any room to sign papers or place your purse/briefcase so guests either balanced them on their bent knees or placed them on the floor which made retrieving paperwork and IDs cumbersome and very inefficient.
• The 3 elevators to the main hotel rooms were backed up when the conference would break and access to the stairways was locked.
• Pre conference gatherings were held in the conference center lobby, which was stifling hot due to the large glass windows and provided little seating space.
• Comfortable beds with 4 feather pillows per bed, soft down comforters
• Large flat panel TV that swiveled for viewing anywhere in the room, offering premium channels
• Dresser drawers were equipped with quiet shut hardware which keeps room noise down
• Plenty of closet space and room for suitcase stand inside room
• Corner had a reading chair with table and lamp
• The computer desk had a bright light and 3 plugins which made charging electronics convenient
• Room air conditioner never got below 70 degrees, even with both sets of curtains closed. A ceiling fan would be nice to at least keep the air moving.
• 4th floor north side had tiny balcony with view of roof top air conditioners
• DO NOT get a 3rd floor north facing room, the balcony is facing a brick wall
• Environmental friendly water saving toilets with 2 flushing options
• Large oval tub, good sized soap/amenities and large towels
• Large high counter-top area, plenty of bright lighting and 2 electrical plugs
• Variable shower head was clogged with hard water deposits so the flow wasn't working properly
• Front desk, gift shop and cleaning crew looked professional, were friendly and accommodating.
• All employees I encountered spoke English
• The waiters/bar tenders at the banquet hall were fast and efficient with clearing tables, refilling drink glasses and were very polite to guests.

Rated 2 out of 5 by NavyChief Below Expectations and Sheraton Quality
Below Expectations and Sheraton Quality
As a Starwood Preferred Guest Platinum member, I tend to gravitate towards Starwood properties, of which this Sheraton belongs. (It is the only Starwood property in Salt Lake City.) I was in Salt Lake City for five nights but could not book the Sheraton for the first night, so I stayed elsewhere for the first night.
When I arrived, I noticed that valet parking was not available, although their Web site indicates its availability. Since there was nobody outside, I parked and walked in to the front desk to register. I asked the clerk if there were a bellman available for luggage assistance. She said that nobody was available but she "would try to get someone." I waited for over ten minutes before I saw a bellman unlock their luggage storage area. I continued to wait until I returned to the desk clerk and reminded her that I was waiting for a bellman. She then called him over to assist. He was friendly, and quickly assisted in moving my luggage from my car to my room. On the plus side, self-parking is free, with spots available on the side or behind the hotel, with a bit of a walk to the front entrance.
During the check in process, I found it very difficult to hear and understand the clerk. Also, little to no Platinum recognition was offered. My room was a standard room on their so-called Preferred Guest floor. No Platinum suite upgrade was made, even though suites were available for booking. (From what I've determined from others, suite upgrades are on a "depends on how we feel" basis.) It was clean and functional but certainly nothing to write home about.
The lobby is exceptional. It has a lodge-like feel, with an enormous fireplace and comfortable seating. There is a large "conference table" in the lobby, with plenty of chairs and lots of electrical connections. Great idea!
Breakfast, in short, is horrendous. Finding a clean table was a challenge. The offerings on their buffet spread were limited. The scrambled eggs were dry and hard as a rock. Other "hot" entries were not. It was also the most unkempt buffet I have seen in a long time. They offer eggs to order, too. I ordered two eggs over medium. When delivered, the yokes were hard and one was broken already. The server (there may have been more than one) appeared over burdened with busing tables and "trying" to keep the buffet bar clean and waiting tables. I had four breakfast coupons (my rate included breakfast), but after my second breakfast fiasco, I threw the last two away and are elsewhere.
I stayed four nights at the Sheraton Salt Lake City. I don't think I've written this before about a Sheraton stay, but I was definitely not sad to leave.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Lax14 Great hotel, but some issues
The hotel is great, but when it's 90 degree's the air-conditioning should be working. My husband spoke with the maintenance engineer in the hall working on the main unit. He said there was something wrong with the censors, but nothing was done about the room. Also keep in mind that all the beds are doubles not queens so when it's hot and no air conditioning sleeping next to someone in a small bed makes it worse. Not sure why i'm posting this because nobody from the hotel reads them. Last time after I did the survey I got a letter from the "President" of the company asking me to fill out the survey to help the hotel get better.

Rated 3 out of 5 by 1twohot Room 408
When I arrived the room temp was 75*. I turned the stat as low as it would go and in the morning it was still 75*. I then went to the front dask and asked them to have maintenance to please lower the temp. Also the tub had 3" of standing water after showering. Also, the basin when brushing you teeth or washing hands would fill up also. Back in the room after 12 hous of meetings the room temp was still 75*. I then called the front desk and explained everything once again. Back from dinnerthe room had cooled by 1* and never did get below 70*. Neither drain was cleared the hole time of stay. Not the way to make people come back!

Rated 2 out of 5 by bsteven No SPG recognition
I made this reservation several days in advance and had my platinum ambassador call to confirm a late-night arrival for me. When I arrived I was given a standard king room and told that nothing else was available, despite the fact that the hotel was showing suite availability just a few hours prior. My colleague who checked in at the same time and is SPG Gold received an upgrade to a parlor suite. I go out of my way to stay at SPG properties (45 miles from my destination in this case) and it is absolutely unacceptable to be treated with such indifference in light of my loyalty. My room was subsequently moved the next day, at my request, but no apology was given.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Boltonski Renovated Property with Character
My wife and I traveled to Salt Lake City for a short sight seeing trip before heading to Provo for a football game. We were impressed with the Sheraton. While obviously older (the exterior gives that away), it has been maintained well and renovated. The room was a suite, and was tastefully decorated. The on-site restaurant was a great place to grab breakfast, and had quality ingredients in the food selections. The staff were courteous and professional. Our only real complaint was the very slow wifi connection - pathetically slow. But we weren't there on business, so it was only a minor flaw in an overall great experience.

The staff was helpful and friendly. The banquet food was good. The gloomy lighting in the room and common areas was awful. They DO make CFL bulbs that emit a warm, yellow glow. Sheraton should get some. The lighting in my room evoked a parking garage emergency lighting feel. Would have been a deal breaker for me if I wasn't there for a convention. Floor lamp had a short and didn't work. The room lacked a refrigerator, and although I requested one at the front desk (for additional charge), it was never delivered to my room. The towel bar in the bathroom was broken on one end and kept snagging my nightgown. I did appreciate the free WIFI and the in-house Starbucks.

Rated 4 out of 5 by PEstefania Nice property however the food quality left much to be desired
Great property with a great location. The staff was friendly and responsive for the most part.
The pool is a great feature!
Now the food...wow not only it is expensive (it was a waste of money to be honest) it was also not worth it. The appetizer was not cooked properly and did not look appealing. The main plate chicken was burned and the salad was soggy. With all due respect, went to McDonalds across the street and got a better quality meal (that is saying a lot), quicker and much more affordable. The restaurant/bar needs a MAJOR OVERHAUL ASAP!!! Don't waste your money in the restaurant until they fix it!

Rated 2 out of 5 by ScottMilwaukee 0 for Two
Checked into the first room, desk was dirty, hair in the bathroom, glass door was cracked and the closet door handle fell off in my hand. I call to ask for an alternative, for both a clean room and one with a view other than the back of the hot tub hut.
I was moved to the room next door. While cleaner and had a functioning door handle, there were several things left to be desired including TV smears, and a couple of hairs in bathroom and fingerprints on the glass balcony door...
The room was full of brite white CFL lights leaving the room feeling very sterile and cold inspite of the recent and nice upgrades...

Rated 4 out of 5 by ManOnVacation Great value for money
This is an excellent hotel for category 2 spg award redemption - the spg level was clean and nicely appointed with plenty of outlets both at the desk and bedside. The bed was excellent. I appreciated the spacious lobby with large sitting area, huge fireplace, and outdoor seating and firepit looked great although it was snowing when I was there.
The AAA breakfast rate offered a great value because the breakfast buffet was actually quite decent and the service was very good. I especially appreciated the late serving time (until 11am) on Sunday!
My only complaint, not unique to this Sheraton, was that there were no identified recycle bins anywhere in the room, nor in the hotel.

Rated 1 out of 5 by UnhappyVoyager Terrible Stay
My stay here was terrible. I arrived after dark and had to park in an unlit, unstaffed parking lot which felt very unsafe. The hotel room was lit only by glaring flourescent lights, even on the bedside, giving an institutional feel. The room was not clean, with visible dirt & grime. I ordered a salad from room service for dinner, and it had wilted and rotten lettuce, and was truly inedible.
The staff was very nice and helpful but I recommend against staying here!

Rated 2 out of 5 by BostonTV Never walked so much
Low price and low quality Sheraton hotel, with a nice swimming pool, a non-functionning sauna, a poor restaurant (closed early) and poor room service (lot of food, but bad food). And kilometer-long corridors. I got a 2-floors suite at one end of the building and my Platinum card gave me access to the Club at the other end, 10th floor. Never walked so much, but I was obliged to do so, as there is no fridge in the room, no minibar, no fresh water. Another thing is the free transfer from airport to the hotel: I asked for it in my booking file, and never got an answer, so I finnaly had to take the taxi.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Will14 Always a great experience
I have been skeptical of this property in the past due to minor issues (in retrospect) such as outdoor signage, etc.. The property is making improvements in these minor areas and the staff is without a doubt one of the most committed teams I have seen in my travels. The service level is simply outstanding; from TC in the lounge, to the front desk team, to the shuttle team, there is no request that cannot be met. On two separate occasions I have had flights cancelled and have had to stay an additional unplanned night. The team has always been able to accommodate me- even if the property was sold out. I highly recommend this hotel if you are visiting Salt Lake City for business or pleasure.

I don't get it. You can buy a full-sized, land yacht, tour bus decked out with a Jeep in tow for that price.
You can buy a real tank for that price. Military Vehicle Sales and Appraisal Service
You could build one yourself for WAY less than $300K!
Every once in a while a Cadillac Gage v150 comes up for sale on the internets. They sold lots of them overseas to desert countries where rust is an unknown thing.
If I was going to spend that kind of money on a vehicle it would either have to be total luxury...or armored.
It's cool, but there's nowhere close to 300K of value there. I can see them hooking a few eccentric rich folks, but I don't see how they're getting a pipeline of customers that are gonna go for that.

Pro-Paul PAC to combat 'racist claims' in web ad
Pro-Paul PAC to combat 'racist claims' in web ad
thehill.com ^ | 12/24/2011 | Jonathan Easley
Posted on Saturday, December 24, 2011 3:19:18 PM by TBBT
A pro-Ron Paul group called Revolution PAC will combat the charges of racism against the Texas Republican in an internet advertisement next week.
Gary Franchi, the head of the PAC, told The Daily that the web ad will "put an end to these racist claims."
"I don't think it is fazing anybody," Franchi said. "This is a cyclical history that is visible, based on past elections, and it (will be seen) as just a media ploy to try to get something to stick on the guy."
Paul has said that he only endorsed the investment portions of controversial newsletters circulated in the 1980s and 1990s which were published under his name and occasionally contained conspiratorial, racist and homophobic content. Paul says he didn't write the newsletters, didn't read them at the time, and disavows them now. Still, the Paul campaign seems to have been taken by surprise that the issue has resurfaced in this election cycle, as the newsletters were also an issue for the candidate during his 2008 campaign.

dc.description.abstract | The use of remote techniques to capture the geometrical characteristics of rock masses has seen increased use and development in recent years. Apart from the obvious improved Health and Safety aspects, remote techniques allow rapid collection of digital data that can be subsequently analysed to provide input parameters for a variety of geomechanical applications. Remote data capture is a new technique used to collect geotechnical data and little independent work has been done concerning the comparative limitations and benefits of photogrammetry and laser scanning. Photogrammetry and laser scanning produce three dimensional digital representations of a studied rock face which can then be mapped for geotechnical data using specialist software. Research conducted at Camborne School of Mines, University of Exeter has focussed on developing robust and flexible methodologies for remote data capture techniques, namely photogrammetry and laser scanning. Geotechnical characterisation for photogrammetry was tested using the CSIRO Sirovision software and laser scanning was used with SplitFX from Split Engineering. A comparative method of assessing the error between orientation measurements was developed based on calculating the pole vector difference between remotely captured and traditionally hand-mapped data. This allowed for testing of the benefits of the remote data capture systems and limitations whilst comparing them with conventional hand-mapping. The thesis also describes the results of detailed comparisons between hand-mapping, photogrammetric and laser scanned data collection for discontinuity orientation, roughness, discontinuity trace lengths and potential end-use applications. During fieldwork in Cornwall, Brighton Cliffs and northern France it was found that remote data capture techniques struggled to collect orientation data from intensely fractured rock masses where features are primarily represented as discontinuity traces. It was found that both photogrammetry and laser scanning produce orientation data comparable to traditionally mapped data, with an average pole vector difference less than 12° from data mapped from the Tremough Campus road cutting to the University of Exeter's Cornwall Campus. Set analysis on 151 comparable data points yielded a maximum set pole vector difference of 9.8°, where the closest difference was 2.24°. Testing the accuracy of discontinuity trace orientations captured by photogrammetry using the pole vector difference methods indicate that planar derived orientations are more accurate, with an average difference of 16.67° compared to 37.72°. This thesis contains the reviews and analyses of photogrammetry and laser scanning for use in characterising natural and manmade rock slopes. Improved field and post-processing methodologies have been developed to aid the safe, efficient and suitable geotechnical characterisation of rock fracture networks. The continual development and use of remote mapping techniques, whilst supplementing their unique qualities with traditional mapping, have the capability to revolutionise rock mass mapping. Particular development needed is the implementation of ISRM guidelines to standardise photogrammetric and laser scanning fieldwork and post-processing data analysis. | en_GB |

Common Questions and Answers about Seizure disorders respiratory failure
I started having seizures last february (2011). I don't have epilepsy, as far as they can tell I have toxic encephalopathy. Which means toxins were building up in my brain from the combo of meds I was on. My reg dr said "serotonin syndrome" is another possible dx. The definition of a "controlled" seizure disorder is no seizures for 6 months. I've been going more than 6 mos between seizures.

I cannot tell if something is burning, and cleaning chemicals/sprays are a nightmare as I learned to be very careful when cleaning and inhaling the fumes after I got a few
infections. I did a great deal of research after the head injury and there was not much info out there. However, that was 10 years ago and a lot has changed. I can taste sweet, sour and definitely salt which can seem overwhelming if I feel something is too salty..I don't eat it.

You may not even know that you are having a heart palpitation or racing heart rate. My symptoms I thought were
related but come to find out that they were not. These were my symptoms: While standing still for more than a few minutes, I would get irritable, short of breath, yawned,restless, nervous, and sometimes feel my heart going fast. While exercising, my heart rate would sky rocket and I would feel faint and dizzy and really short of breath.

And just speaking of ourselves, we have been wrongly accused of all sorts of psychiatric
including paranoia, depression, psychozophrenia, etc.. just to name a few. And the only reason is that we told MDs about our symptoms. Also others around us think we do not practice hygiene, or we do not bathe, or brush our teeth, etc. So for all of these reasons, we need a case report published in Lancet, or New England Journal of Medicine, Nature etc...

I questioned the dr and he said they put her on a preventitive anti-
medication just to make sure she wouldn't have one. I researched the med and found out that one of the side effects was extreme drowsiness and unresponsiveness. We demanded they stop the med which they did and she immediately improved. She never did have a seizure. Watch your brothers meds!!! Look them up online and research what they are giving him. Question everything. You guys will be ok. I know you will.

STUDIO JGBPhotographer Male Brooklyn, New York, US
My Website:
Geoffrey Badner Photography
My MM URL: http://www.modelmayhem.com/countfunkula
Mayhem # 2951108
About MeI've been a documentary photographer and photojournalist for many years. Now, however, I'm looking to move away from that style of shooting and into more straightforward fashion, glamour and minimally stylized portraits.
Check out my work on here and on my portfolio site. The best way to reach me is through MM if you're interested in working together. Day-to-day photo nonsense here: http://instagram.com/geoffbadner Other nonsense: http://geoffbadner.tumblr.com Where do I shoot? I like mostly natural light so shooting outdoors or on location is preferred, but I have access to several studios in Manhattan and Brooklyn for projects that need setting up and/or lighting. Who do I shoot with? The more professional you are in your approach to working as a model the better the resulting images will be. Be punctual, be prepared, be present in what's going on and we'll get along great. Do I pay? Yes. While TFP always fits the budget, but I'm also a strong believer in that you get what you pay for so I'm more than willing to compensate you for time in front of the lens. At the same time, all expenses come out of my pocket so please keep that in mind when discussing rates. What do you get? It depends. If you're paying me, you get a CD of the whole shoot along with 3-5 retouched hi rez digital images. If I'm paying you, you get the same 3-5 retouched high rez images, but no CD. I can also run off photo-quality prints if you need them for whatever it costs me. Friends |

Mar 8, 2013The clothing and furniture in The Sims 3 70s, 80s, and 90s Stuff pack are great additions to any Sims household as they successfully combine retro and modern visual styles. Ultimately, the stuff pack is lacking in content and is better recommended as a purchase when it's included in a sale.
Feb 6, 2013Unfortunately this new pack goes through the motions again, without adding too much validity to the franchise. On a brighter note, The Sims 3 70s, 80s & 90s Stuff Pack is quite affordably priced and if you grew up in the 70s, 80s or 90s, it's still worth checking out but don't expect to be blown away.

Steve Francis Declares Independence
The Union Tribune reported this morning that San Diego mayoral candidate Steve Francis has been outspending the incumbent mayor, Jerry Sanders, by a 4-1 margin ...
The Union Tribune reported this morning that San Diego mayoral candidate Steve Francis has been outspending the incumbent mayor, Jerry Sanders, by a 4-1 margin in recent months. Francis has been using his personal wealth for T.V. ads, including his most recent one:
You can tell from the ad that Francis is stressing his outsider credentials and his independence.
What's interesting is that in the 2005 mayoral race Francis was the conservative candidate. He, not Sanders (both Republicans), won the endorsement of the San Diego County Republican Party.
In that race, it made sense for Francis to run to the right of Sanders, even though it didn't end up working. Donna Frye, a Democrat who is on the City Council, was also in the race, so he couldn't pick up votes to the left.
This time around, however, the only Democrat of note is Floyd Morrow, who served on the City Council -- in the 1970s. It's not clear that Morrow will mount a serious campaign. In the first round of voting on June 3, Sanders and Francis are the favorites to advance to the runoff (assuming Sanders doesn't top 50% and win outright).
As a result, Francis is trying to appeal across the political spectrum. He'll need the votes of Democrats (if not in the primary, then at least in the runoff). The question is whether voters' memories of the 2005 campaign will make that tougher to achieve.

Comment on Top 20 Singles of 2012: "Japanese Music = AKB48″ by Imyou:
Culturally right now: This doesn't mean that much, since so many fans will buy boxes of CDs to push them up the charts.
Commercially, and culturally in the future: This sucks, because labels and producers will probably put more effort into making more groups like this when most people probably don't really want that. Kind of like trying to find anime that isn't all moe and ecchi these days – the hardcore consume it enough to more than make up for the mainstream dropoff, so they dictate the direction it takes.
Recent comments by Imyou:

I'd look to Chiaki Kuriyama to pull it off. I think she could do the coolly detached character really well.

Christian Bros Racing Arctic Cat Moves To TLD
Snocross - Corona, CA
Christian Brothers Racing rides Arctic Cats - the World's Fastest Snowmobiles - and Troy Lee Designs touts that its products are "For The World's Fastest Racers" so it's fitting the two brands would join forces as sponsors of Christian Brothers Racing. But the location where CBR and TLD most recently came together might come as a surprise. Southern California may seem an unlikely place to bring your sled for the winter, but that's just where a certain Arctic Cat Sno Pro 600 has made its home for the coming season. The sled happens to belong to Christian Brothers Racing/Team Arctic racer Logan Christian and its new home is the showroom floor of the Troy Lee Designs headquarters in Corona, California.
"Christian Brothers Racing and Troy Lee Designs started working together two seasons ago," said Christian Brothers Racing co-owner Dwight Christian. "We decided to send Logan's snowmobile out there to put on display and show the people in California what we race. They know bikes, motorcycles, cars and automotive racing but we wanted to help them learn a little more about Arctic Cat snowmobiles."
The 2012 Sno Pro 600 traveled over 2000-miles through eight states in the back of a pickup (appropriately enough) to get to its new Winter home. On the way it visited Logan's teammate and fellow Christian Brothers Racing/Team Arctic racer Garth Kaufman in Idaho. It stopped in Las Vegas to have its picture taken with the famous "Welcome To fabulous Las Vegas" sign that marks the start (or end?) of the Las Vegas strip. Finally, it made a quick stop to check out the beach and smell the Pacific Ocean before it came to rest in the showroom at Troy Lee Designs.
"We were excited when Dwight Christian offered to provide a team sled for our museum," said Bill Keefe of Troy Lee Designs. "It's not too often you see a sled, let alone a full-blown race sled, in Corona especially in the summer when it's over 100 degrees."
As part of their team sponsorship Christian Brothers Racing riders wear official Troy Lee Designs helmets when they are competing on the track. Their products are also offered to consumers at events where the Christian Brothers Racing vending trailer appears. It is a great way for consumers to see the quality of Troy Lee Designs products in person and to see how the look on the snow.
"Partnering with Christian Brothers Racing is a great way for us to be involved in motorsports in the Midwest and Northeast during the Winter months," said Keefe. "They are a great group of people and keep it fun, which is what we love to do, have fun."
Next up for Christian Brothers Racing is the ISOC Duluth National in Duluth, Minn., November 23-25, 2012. For more information on Christian Brothers Racing visit www.christianbrosracing.com.
