Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin found in certain foods and also functions within the body in response to the skin's exposure to sun (specifically ultraviolet-B rays). Those who have little exposure to direct sunlight are more susceptible to Vitamin D deficiency. Vitamin D is most commonly known for its ability to improve the maintenance of bones, teeth, and joints.
Vitamin D is available in two forms; D2 and D3. It has been shown that Vitamin D3 appears to be more than three times as effective as vitamin D2. Our Vitamin D3 is a highly available liquid form of this powerful vitamin.
Recent research has shown Vitamin D to be a powerful immune stimulant and has been suggested to be a much more powerful tool in combating illnesses and viruses than Vitamin C. As it can take a number of months for Vitamin D to accumulate within the body it is suggested that you should begin supplementing with it in autumn to help combat seasonal illnesses associated with the winter.
From an athletic perspective, sufficient levels of Vitamin D can have a number of performance boosting benefits. Vitamin D has been shown to reduce inflammation in body tissues, often associated with overtraining and intense exercise, which may help athletes, recover quicker from exercise. There is also some evidence to suggest Vitamin D levels are associated with the maintenance of power and strength by potentially increasing the size and number of fast twitch fibres. Since deficiency can be associated with stress fractures, chronic musculoskeletal pain, weakened immune function, and inflammation, it is important that athletes seriously consider Vitamin D supplementation.
To maintain adequate vitamin D levels, some studies suggest athletes should aim to consume over 2000iu per day.
We recommend consuming 1 softgel per day, preferably with a meal.
Serving size: 1 softgel
Servings per container: 180
Olive Oil (diluent), Vitamin D3 Oil, Softgel (gelatine, glycerin, water)
Free from artificial colours & preservatives, yeast, gluten, starch & lactose. No added salt (sodium chloride) or sugar. GMO free.
Amount per 1 softgel serving: Vitamin D3: 2500 iu

Great product, definitely great priced, but could have a bit more vit D3 content.. 5000iu would be perfect per cap, obviously taking two sorts the problem out, so you can actually control dosage more effectively, as per your personal needs. No issues with taste, even if accidently bitten through the capsule.Goes Well With:Omega 3, Alpha Men
- (07 / Feb / 2013)
Studies suggest that it's best absorbable with olive oil (monounsaturated fats), which is included in the capsule. This vitamin d is d3 which means it's cholecalciferol - the most preferred form. Goes Well With: Calcium

"Just ordered this. Vitamin D3 has too many benefits to list ANYONE who doesnt get a daily dose of prolonged sunshine should supplement with this. My protein is the only place I have found that uses the Oil version, which has superior absorption to powder or tablet at such an affordable price! Good stuff!!"
Suzanne Looms
- (04 / Aug / 2010)
"Good quality and tiny capsules. Taken daily on an empty stomach along with other oily supplements, this works a treat. Radio 4 just broadcast a programme commenting on Vitamin D deficiency in the UK and associated health problems, so this is a good solution."
Paul Canavan
- (23 / Jun / 2010)
"Brilliant stuff. They caps are tiny, which is great news because they're easy to swallow and 2500iu is a reasonable daily amount. Very reasonable money for what could be 6 months worth if you took 1 a day."
Vitamin D3 Level
- (16 / Apr / 2010)
According to the latest knowledge a person needs a vitamin D3 levels 60 to 70 ng / ml.\nThis value can only be determined through a blood test. Only then can reasonably be supplemented with vitamin D3. Dr. Mercola's website has very good information here.
Great value
- (13 / Apr / 2010)
"Using this as part a core routine of supplements. \nGreat value, as all these things tend to mount up in cost."
- (09 / Apr / 2010)
Similar to the previous review I find this a valuable supplement.
Ingenious product!
- (31 / Mar / 2010)
"I was looking for affordale Vitamin D3 for a while and I've finally found it!\n\nThe body produces about 20,000 IU per day if it gets enough sunshine, so supplementation of up to 10,000 can be considered pretty safe in Northern Europe, which meant a lot of tablets for me up to now.\n\nThanx to MyProtein for this excellent product!\n(No, I don't get paid by MP, I really am excited about this product!)"

Wednesday, April 23, 2014
By Jason Singer firstname.lastname@example.com
Assistant City Editor / Online
In July 2010, a local committee hired Jed Rathband to run the "Elect Our Mayor" campaign. Fast forward 15 months, and Rathband now has a chance to become that elected mayor.
PARTY AFFILIATION: Democrat
ADDRESS: 9 Everett St.
PERSONAL: In a relationship with Isa Ferguson
EDUCATION: B.A., New College of California
OCCUPATION: Founder of Stones Throw Consulting
POLITICAL EXPERIENCE: None
WEBSITE: JedForMayor.com
• Improve Portland schools' gifted/talented program to attract innovative families.
• Attract out-of-state businesses to Portland.
• Reduce waiting time for building permits.
• Better promote local industries in the creative economy and professional services such as design, finance, health care and legal.
JED RATHBAND will answer questions from Press Herald readers during an hourlong live chat with the candidate starting at noon today. Go to www.pressherald.com to participate.
In a field of many former candidates and elected officials, Rathband has painted himself as the only front-line contender who provides new leadership.
"I'm the only top-tier candidate offering a truly fresh voice," he said. "I don't have ties to the local Democratic machine. All the other candidates have served and run in Portland before, collectively probably more than 100 years. We need new leadership, not the same ones that got us here."
Rathband was born in Mystic, Conn., and moved to Portland in the early 2000s. His background mixes business and politics.
In the late 1990s, he worked for a high-tech company in China that hoped to one day use phones as cameras. Rathband recruited English-speaking clients.
After the tech-bubble burst, however, Rathband turned to politics. In 2002, he helped his former college adviser, San Francisco politician Harry Britt, run for the California Assembly.
Since moving to Portland in 2003 and opening Stone's Throw Consulting, Rathband has worked on or run some of the most high-profile campaigns in the state.
In 2003, he worked as a field organizer on the "CasinosNo!" campaign. In 2004, he worked with the Sierra Club and Natural Resources Council of Maine on environmental issues.
In 2006, he worked for The Olympia Companies, a developer vying to build a large multi-use project on the Maine State Pier. Last year, he spearheaded the "Elect Our Mayor" effort.
Rathband is running on a business platform. If elected mayor on Nov. 8, he said he would make 25 calls to out-of-state businesses per week to try to entice them to relocate to Portland.
His top goal, however, is to improve the city's gifted-and-talented program at Portland public schools to help attract high-achieving families, he said. Because of budget issues, the district has significantly scaled back the program -- called Chapter 104 -- over the past 10 years.
"Innovators want good schools for their children -- high-achievement programs -- and in turn, great schools produce the educated work force that innovators need for their companies," Rathband said. "Schools can be the No. 1 economic driver."
He quoted author and New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman about how innovators will produce jobs in the 21st century. "We're not going to find one company to land us 10,000 jobs," he said. "We're going to find 1,000 individuals who create 10 jobs apiece. That's development in the modern era, and great schools can attract those people."
Rathband's business focus has earned him numerous endorsements from local businesses. Bob Van Wert, owner of Portland Renovations, said Rathband "is a businessman. City Hall is better off with that mindset than a political mindset."
Deb Cook, former director of the Maine Small Business Alliance who hired Rathband in 2004 as its advocacy director, said his ability to motivate people, communicate effectively and get along with small-business owners, legislators and voters makes him her top choice.
"There's a lot of diversity in Portland: Diversities of opinions, of needs, et cetera," Cook said. "Jed's a big-thinker. He's a self-starter. He understands competing priorities and he's an excellent collaborator and listener. ... These are the skills that will make an effective mayor."
Despite the praise, however, Rathband still seems a step behind Michael Brennan, a former state senator who has racked up a number of endorsements, including one from Portland Tomorrow. The founders of that group, working with members of the League of Young Voters, hired Rathband to run the "Elect Our Mayor" campaign. Rathband has received an endorsement from the League of Young Voters, but as their fifth-place choice.

SecurityContextAnil Saldhana Aug 19, 2006 3:11 PM
From Scott's quote:
instead of just a Subject representing the security context, we should have a security context that contains a Subject, trust domain info, authorization info/pointers, etc to allow better integratin/reuse of authorization aspects.
There is a need for an unified Security Context that holds both the authentication and authorization aspects together. I would like to get ideas on this from the community.
We already have SecurityAssociation acting as a central security floater (that takes care of the subject/runasidentity etc).
Where would this Security Context reside?
In my experiment, I tried a SC that was fitted inside the SA in a threadlocal, but ran into thread safety issues.
1. Re: SecurityContextAnil Saldhana Aug 28, 2006 3:44 PM (in response to Anil Saldhana)
Here is the latest on the SecurityContext.
Associated JIRA issue:
The current prototype has the following minimal contract:
package org.jboss.security; public class SecurityContext { public AuthorizationManager getAuthorizationManager(String securityDomain); public Group getRoles(String securityDomain); }
Plugged into an InheritableThreadLocal in SecurityAssociation.
Given this, SecurityAssociationValve in the web layer checks for existence of SC. If not create one and set in the SA and clear it in the finally block (if they had set it). The same is done by the EJB SecurityInterceptor. This ensures that the SC is cleared up.
2. Re: SecurityContextScott Stark Aug 28, 2006 7:28 PM (in response to Anil Saldhana)
The SecurityContext has to have the authenticated identity(s) as it needs to be a superset of the existing SecurityAssociation context of principal, credential and Subject. I'm thinking of something more like:
class SubjectInfo { Principal authenticationPrincipal; Object authenticationCredential; Subject subject; } class abstract SecurityContext { /** Key into the data map for the java.security.acl.Group representing the user roles Group roles = (Group) sc.getData().get(ROLES); */ public final String ROLES = "ROLES"; ... SubjectInfo getSubjectInfo(); HashMap<String, Object> getData(); public AuthorizationManager getAuthorizationManager(); }
We also need an extension of the AuthenticationManager to deal with the mapping of identity and trust.
3. Re: SecurityContextAnil Saldhana Aug 29, 2006 12:29 PM (in response to Anil Saldhana)
Carlo, lets discuss (over IM) and/or the following design forum thread:
Scott, to continue with the Security Context discussion here.
* Do you envisage that the roles contained in the SC are an union of all roles applicable in the call path (with possibly multiple security domains)?
* I am not 100% clear on our Trust needs in the AuthenticationManager. Are we looking at accomodating JaasSecurityDomain notion of trust in the AM?
4. Re: SecurityContextScott Stark Aug 30, 2006 12:05 PM (in response to Anil Saldhana)
Both the context data(such as roles) and authorization manager should be a function of the security domain.
We need to workout the trust usecase workflows to define the spi. I don't think its best embeded in the authentication call, but I"m not sure. How would 196 deal with a saml identity assertion?
5. Re: SecurityContextAnil Saldhana Aug 30, 2006 12:33 PM (in response to Anil Saldhana)
"firstname.lastname@example.com" wrote:

JSR-196 does not handle it now explicitly. There is support via:
a) Access to the Http Request (means access to the SAML Token). The server runtime can do back-door communication via SOAP with a Identity Server for the additional attributes associated with the saml identity.
b) Server Runtime can hold state such that there is back and forth communication with the client runtime. Similar to the SPNEGO requirements.
6. Re: SecurityContextScott Stark Aug 30, 2006 1:26 PM (in response to Anil Saldhana)
The trust spi needs to support the mapping of one identity to another. SPENGO is an example of a full authentication sequence, not a trust decision. When I think of a trust spi, I'm thinking of having an identity/subject from one authentication domain and I need to map it to the current domain. Currently you have to have the full authentication info for the target domain. A trust spi allows one to query if and what the target domain identity is without performing full reauthentication.
7. Re: SecurityContextAnil Saldhana Aug 30, 2006 1:54 PM (in response to Anil Saldhana)
Similar to the SPNEGO authentication sequence because the trust decision (if using SAML) can involve http redirects before the correct saml token arrives with the necessary information (the other alternative is the backdoor soap interaction). That was my reference wrt JASPI.
For the trust spi, how does the following look:
/** Principal can be null. The Contextual map can contain additional subjectInfo plus other info including a SAML Token assertion/domainInfo from the source application domain */ Principal getTargetIdentity(Principal p, Map contextualMap);
If there is a need to know additional information about the target identity (like roles), then we will need another method in the authorization manager (The AM implementation will have to query for the attributes of the identity from an external application domain):
Group getTargetRoles(Principal targetIdentity, Map contextualMap)
8. Re: SecurityContextScott Stark Aug 31, 2006 12:25 AM (in response to Anil Saldhana)
A trust decision can involve outside server calls, the same as an authentication decision, but the context is likely missing proof of identity. Rather there is a statement of identity and maybe some attributes along with it. SSO is really a trust decision as opposed to an authentication. Maybe there can be a single trust/authentication spi. Flesh it out with some mocked up test cases of usage we need to support.
9. Re: SecurityContextAnil Saldhana Oct 16, 2006 5:29 PM (in response to Anil Saldhana)
Now that we are clear on the constituents of the Security Context (Superset of the Security Association), I would like to discuss the establishment of the SC (and/or in relation to SA).
In my current prototype for the time being, I plugged in the SC in the Security Association as a map entry in the context data keyed in by security domain. I think this is not right.
- What do we do with Security Association?
10. Re: SecurityContextAnil Saldhana Oct 17, 2006 1:48 PM (in response to Anil Saldhana)
Scott would like to see the SecurityAssociation legacy framework replaced with the new Security SPI setup.
11. Re: SecurityContextAnil Saldhana Oct 23, 2006 3:10 PM (in response to Anil Saldhana)
An issue that I have noticed with Security Context with reference to RoleMapping is:
If we have multiple deployments (A.war,b-ejb.jar,C.war etc) all driven by the same security domain and since the SecurityContext works at the domain level, we can have an issue if the user configures a custom role mapping module for a particular deployment (say, A.war).
So the user may want a subset of roles applicable to deployment A whereas for the other deployments, a superset (or a different set of roles can apply).
Unless we do a fresh creation of security context roles for each lookup of roles, there can be issues(cached roles in the context)
a) Provide a system property that is jbosssx specific that configures whether the Authorization Manager does a fresh set of security context roles (read the subject roles if any and apply mapping) on each look up OR
b) Provide options on the Authorization Manager Service to be provided to each of the Authorization Managers possible.
I like b)
12. Re: SecurityContextAnil Saldhana Nov 30, 2006 2:17 PM (in response to Anil Saldhana)
Scott, can you comment on the following wiki that describes my thoughts on a possible setup of Security Context versus the legacy Security Association.
Thread local stacks for RAI and subject in SA will not be needed anymore as the SC will hold the info. SA will hold just one threadlocal SC stack.
13. Re: SecurityContextScott Stark Dec 3, 2006 2:43 AM (in response to Anil Saldhana)
We need to make the SecurityContext an interface (it already essentially is), and define some utility methods for accessing key Subject info so that consumers don't have to know how the Subject/SubjectInfo maintain info for things like:
- String getUsername(SubjectInfo s)
- Principal getUserPrincipal(SubjectInfo s)
For Resource, let's generalize the layer into a type and pull the know types out into a separate ResourceTypes constants class.
- MappingContext/MappingProvider, this seems restrictive in that one has to pass in a mutable mappedObject to the performMapping method. This won't work for Principals, Certificates, credentials. This should also be parameterized to support an expected type:
public interface MappingProvider { /** * Initialize the provider with the configured module options * @param options */ void init(Map options); /** * Map the passed object * @param map A read-only contextual map that can provide information to the provider * @param input an Object on which the mapping will be applied * @return the mapping of input * @throws IllegalArgumentException if the input is not understood by the * provider. */ <T> T performMapping(Map map, T input); }
With this, we probably want the SecurityContext.getMappingContext(Class mappingType, String key) to allow selection of MappingProvider that support the T,key pair.
We also want to move away from requiring a thread local as an aspect of the spi. In general the call context metadata should contain the SecurityContext, and security aspects would access this. For some apis like JACC we may still need integration via thread locals.
I'm not seeing how the run-as identity and roles fits into the SecurityContext. How does it?
I would also like to sketch out how we do the following with the revised spis:
- Validate incoming calls that have no authentication info. This could be a trusted call based on internal run-as, external run-as with trust assertion, external run-as with trust based on known hosts, external run-as based on trusted transport cert.
- How would we implement the jsr196 authentication?
- How would we configure a scenario where the caller of an ejb was mapped to another identity/credentials for accessing resources like jca connections? For example, a caller derived username/password, principal/credential for a database or jms connection.

Thanks Scott for the feedback!

We have to have just one setup. JACC is just installation of a policy and a jacc authorization module. So the call metadata is fine.
I'm not seeing how the run-as identity and roles fits into the SecurityContext. How does it?
RunAsIdentity is not applicable to every JEMS project. It is more of an JEE aspect. Both RAI and Roles will be keyed in the context map inside SC implementation.
How would we implement the jsr196 authentication?
An additional isValid method in the AuthenticationManager interface with the parameters being the wrapper request/response types for the layers.
- Validate incoming calls that have no authentication info. This could be a trusted call based on internal run-as, external run-as with trust assertion, external run-as with trust based on known hosts, external run-as based on trusted transport cert.
Intra-vm will be easier. But the inter-vm association will be complex. I have not thought about it yet.

Washington Migratory Bird Stamps and Prints will be available soon through the Washington Waterfowl Association (WWA).
If you bought a Migratory Bird Permit and would like a free Washington Migratory Bird Stamp, please send proof of purchase and a self-addressed stamped envelope to WWA, 12556 120th Ave, N.E. #352, Kirkland, WA 98034, by March 31 of the year following stamp issue.
If you have any questions about ordering stamps or artwork please call (253) 833-7102 or visit Washington Waterfowl Association. Proceeds from stamps and artwork are used to protect and enhance thousands of acres of wetlands and other waterfowl habitat. If you have recommendations for the design of the Washington Migratory Bird Stamp and Print, please contact WWA.
Migratory Bird Stamp & Artwork Program
You can invest in the future of Washington's diverse migratory bird and wetland resources. Your purchase of one or more Washington State Migratory Bird Stamps or Migratory Bird Stamp artwork products represents not only a sound personal financial investment for you, but also an investment in Washington's wetlands, waterfowl, and other migratory bird resources.
Wetlands throughout Washington sustain not only our breeding population, but birds that breed in Alaska, western Canada, and even Russia. Over 35 species and subspecies of ducks, geese, and swans depend on Washington wetlands, which include coastal estuaries, beaver ponds, desert potholes, sloughs and lakes. Other migratory game birds benefitting from the program include mourning doves, band-tailed pigeons, and snipe.
Revenue from the sale of migratory bird permits and stamps to hunters and collectors is used to buy and develop migratory bird habitat in the state and to enhance, protect, and produce migratory birds in the state. Second, revenue from the sale of artwork (limited edition prints) is used to contract with individuals or nonprofit organizations to develop waterfowl production projects in Washington.
The stamp and artwork program has been responsible for several significant improvements in the quality and quantity of habitat in Washington by:
Examples of many projects completed over the past 20 years include:
Ongoing and new projects are described in the current Migratory Bird Stamp and Artwork Program Expenditure Plan.
WDFW has also used revenues from stamps and artwork to fund cooperative projects with Ducks Unlimited, Washington Waterfowl Association, Inc., Audubon Society, and many local sports groups. Funding is available for projects to benefit waterfowl production (contact 360-902-2515).
"Double Down for the Ducks"
Stamps are a double investment- investing in waterfowl habitat and also in collectible stamps which can appreciate in value over the years. Some past duck stamps have appreciated from 65 to 175 percent. Even if you purchase a stamp for collecting or your limited-edition print, buying additional stamps is a good investment-both for you and for Washington waterfowl and wetlands. Stamps are available in a variety of configurations. For information on ordering stamps, prints and artist Bart Rulon, see the Washington Waterfowl Association's website.

My brush keeps drawing gray-scales around my lines. I want to remove the gray pixels so I can use the bucket-tool without any problems.

This question came from our site for professional, enthusiast and amateur photographers.
You want to use the pencil tool rather than the brush tool to get rid of the grey shades around a line:
Anti-aliasing actually means you do get the slightly fuzzy edges. Aliasing means that either a black or white value is used as an alias for the true shape - the brush is circular but you can't represent a circle with square pixels. Anti-aliasing attempts to prevent the problem of using either black and white to represent an area the curve passes through by representing this area as a shade of grey.

Summary of Healer's Choice Summary of Healer's Choice Reviews for Healer's Choice An Excerpt from Healer's Choice
The author of Spider-Touched and Ghostland continues her tale of a postapocalyptic world where the afterlife has come to life...
Born into a world of violence and paid-for sex, Rebekka longs for a family of her own and dreams of freeing those trapped in the shapeshifter brothels of the red zone. A witch's prophecy claims she'll one day use her gift to heal the Weres made outcast by their mixed human-animal forms.
But Rebekka knows that everything comes at a cost. A plea to save five children sends her into the arms of Aryck, a Jaguar enforcer-and into territory controlled by pure Weres. It's a place where humans and outcasts aren't welcomed, where plague threatens and the fate of the Weres hangs in the balance. And where the choices Rebekka and Aryck make are paid for with their hearts...if not their souls.

<LINK REL="stylesheet" HREF="http://guidesmedia.ign.com/guides/uni/IGNE_style.css" TYPE="text/css">The reason people flock to EA's NCAA Football series is tradition. The whole reason we love college sports is because there's a team, stadium or a rivalry anchored in our memory. Perhaps it was an annual trip to Memorial Stadium with your dad, four years spent in the stands or just a friend's passion that you found infectious, but there's something that makes us nostalgic for the 50-yard line and want to run out of the tunnel as the team we love. College football is all about emotion, and that's what NCAA Football 13 is trying to capture. Again.

College football is all about emotion, and that's what NCAA Football 13 is trying to capture. Again.
Frankly, the developers did a pretty awesome job of nailing down nostalgia last year. Suddenly, teams like LSU has their tiger on the sidelines and Notre Dame really beat the hell out of that "Play like a champion" sign. ESPN was integrated into the experience from the main menu, and the games packed scorebars and instant replay wipes that made it feel like Saturday afternoon television.

 <object id="vid_8aa85acbe2ec2d9ee75f2bbecf0f0a41" class="ign-videoplayer" width="468" height="263" data="http://oystatic.ignimgs.com/src/core/js/../swf/IGNPlayer.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"><param name="movie" value="http://oystatic.ignimgs.com/src/core/js/../swf/IGNPlayer.swf"/><param name="" value="true"/><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"/><param name="bgcolor" value="#000000"/><param name="flashvars" value="url=http://www.ign.com/videos/2012/04/02/ncaa-football-13-sights-and-sounds"/><param name="wmode" value="opaque"/></object>

NCAA Football 13: Sights and Sounds

NCAA Football 13 keeps all of that and adds more. Rather than get caught off guard like they did last year with Oregon's constant stream of brand new jerseys, EA is working with colleges under nondisclosure agreements so that the uniforms you don't even know about yet will be in the video game. When you win a conference championship game or a big bowl game, you'll get to see your team hoist that specific trophy -- the Little Brown Jug, Paul Bunyan's axe, and the oranges in that damn bowl.

EA's taking what it did last year and refining it. If your team had its signature tradition , it's probably untouched (but look for new love letters such as unique cheerleaders for USC and Texas). However, if you were overlooked last year, expect some bells and whistles -- Purdue enters with its train and Texas A&M with Reveille. There are even Battlefield 3 paratroopers (or para-mascots) for insane celebrations and a slew of FIFA heads to make create-a-player more diverse.

All the polish isn't getting wasted on the accoutrements, though. In-game action now features motion blur to mimic how speed looks on TV and to give you a better idea of "Holy crap, that guy's moving." Audio is also seeing an overhaul. EA went to 24 different games last season to record ambient noise and in-stadium chants so that Seminoles war chant sounds like 30,000 people rather than 30 dudes on a soundstage.

The most interesting thing -- although I only heard about it and didn't hear it in action -- is that there's a brand new commentary system in NCAA Football 13. Brad Nessler and Kirk Herbstreit are back, but this year, all of their dialogue was ad-libbed. EA gave the duo situations or themes, and the two spun out quips and lines. Supposedly, the commentators will remember stories from the game, too, so look for first-quarter decisions to be referenced in the fourth.

Swing the axe.

I know, I know, I know -- there's no gameplay description in this preview. Sadly, EA has embargoed those impressions for later this month. For now, you're going to have to live with knowing that the time of day now changes on a play-by-play basis so there isn't that dramatic switch between quarters and that the North Texas and Florida Atlantic stadiums were created for the game via a new pinpoint-accurate system. It's not much, but if gives you an idea of the problems the developers have looked at and addressed.

I'm an admitted NCAA Football fan. These changes aren't drastic, but they are interesting and intriguing. The "feel" of college football is what I love, so making the game even more like a Saturday broadcast -- even more like the memories fans have -- is exciting to me. Look for more NCAA news soon, including a Madden vs. NCAA video next week.

LeiD Tapa
Real Name
Seini Draughn
Date of Birth
November 27, 1982
Place of Birth
Proving that she is far from done with the professional wrestling business, LeiD Tapa immediately has gone back to work after receiving her release from TNA. The former Knockout is back in OVW, where she is receiving further training and experience. Many within the company are praising her for the determination that she is showing.
March 26, 2014
Fans have been curious about the status of Devon since he parted ways with TNA last year. The former world tag team champion has been spending a lot of time with his family. Devon has also been doing a lot of work at his wrestling school, where he has been actively training wrestlers now. The former WWE star also wrestles occasionally on the independent circuit.
April 24, 2014
A picture of the Rock doing rescue training. The former WWE star is preparing for his role in the upcoming San Andreas movie, which will be about the biggest earthquake in the history of mankind.
April 23, 2014
"If you never want to have a family or a wife or time to yourself, and you like being verbally and mentally abused, then you should [get into wrestling]. I say go for it. [That abuse comes more from] the locker room. Definitely the locker room. TNA is very different than WWE. WWE was very political. I wasn't in there yet. They were like, 'You're a Von Erich. You better be amazing at wrestling,' and things like that. And I wasn't. I'm more of an actress than I am a wrestler. I'd rather play a character than get hurt on the mat. That's what I'm better at. I'm better at acting. That's what I wanted to do. Vince called me. He's the one that got me into this. He's the one asked me, 'Do you want to be a wrestler? Try to be a Diva?' He brought me out and and I signed the contract that night and went into training. I wasn't expecting it to come as much. It really blew up and they expected so much of me, but then TNA called and they really embraced me as like a family member." - Lacey Von Erich talking about backstage politics in WWE
April 22, 2014
"I had met Jim Ross and Jerry Brisco before I was even in college and they always told me to get your degree first and then we'll give you a shot if you want to come try your hand with the WWE. I graduated in May 2006, flew out to Atlanta for a week to tryout, and by July 2006 I was signed and training in Atlanta. I took a little bit different path than most WWE superstars have taken. I'm one of the few superstars who have gone through all three of the developmental camps." - Jack Swagger reveals his path to the WWE developmental program
April 21, 2014
One of the ideas being tossed around right now backstage in WWE is to have Hornswoggle and El Torito wrestling one another on a pretty frequent basis. The two of them will be featured on Smackdown this week, and there could be more matches coming up. WWE had the two of them training together for a couple of weeks to ensure that the match quality is decent.
April 17, 2014
"He was an intense guy, and he was a perfectionist. His career was based on looking as good as possible. That meant eating as good as possible, training as hard as possible, avoiding anything that a normal human being might reach out to in their everyday culinary affairs." - Mick Foley on the diet that Ultimate Warrior had
April 17, 2014
After the death of the Ultimate Warrior, Sting took to social media to express his grief. The legendary NWA star also posted this picture of the two of them together before they became professional wrestlers. Sting noted that this was right when they were about to start training to become future hall of fame stars in the business.
April 10, 2014
A video teasing the return of Bo Dallas to the main roster. WWE attempted to bring him up once, but they quickly changed their mind and sent him back down to developmental for further training. WWE will be using the "Bo-lieve" gimmick that he helped him gain a following down in WWE NXT.
April 10, 2014
While he has been training especially hard over the last couple of months to make it happen, it is being said that the biggest reason why Brodus Clay is being given a match at Wrestlemania 30, where he will be a participant in the Andre the Giant battle royal, is because of his involvement in the new Scooby Doo movie that WWE is promoting.
March 26, 2014
Despite being one of the best performers in the history of professional wrestling, Ric Flair has opted against training others in the art of the game. In fact, the former NWA champion has only formally trained one person in his career. That man is Stan Lane, who formed the legendary Midnight Express tag team with Bobby Eaton during the 1980s.
March 20, 2014
When she walked away from professional wrestling a couple of years ago, the belief was that Taylor Wilde was open to a possible return some day. When asked about it recently on Twitter, Taylor confirmed just that, as she stated that she would be willing to return to TNA if the contract was favorable. The former Knockouts champion has been training to be a firefighter as of late.
March 14, 2014
In a rather interesting move, Michelle McCool was spotted training at the WWE Performance Center this week. She was helping some of the developmental performers out. Some are speculating that she is interested in becoming a trainer for the company, while others think that she might just be helping out because her husband, Undertaker, is working Wrestlemania 30.
March 13, 2014
After his big MMA fight in May against King Mo, Rampage Jackson will start training for professional wrestling. Bjorn Rebney, the CEO of Bellator, stated that he has hired coaches and trainers to come in and teach Jackson the finer points of being a wrestler. He also noted that he keeps in contact with Dixie Carter, so Jackson will be working with TNA again soon.
March 13, 2014
Aside from the hectic schedule that she does for WWE and Total Divas, Summer Rae is also having to find time to do weapons training. She has a part in the fourth Marine movie, starring the Miz, and she will be required to shoot guns for the film. Summer has been receiving training at a location in Burbank.
March 13, 2014
"I mean I started training in a shipping warehouse, and I'm in Wrestlemania XXX this year, in front of millions of people worldwide, you know? I spent a few years cutting my teeth in the Midwest, I worked for Ring of Honor, then I went down to Florida and relearned everything there. It wasn't different, but the crowds are bigger now. The paychecks are nicer, but that's not really why I do it, so it doesn't make much of a difference for me." - Seth Rollins talks about being in Wrestlemania 30
March 7, 2014
After taking a much needed break to heal up his body, Shannon Moore has now started training again, and he has stated that he would like to make a come back to professional wrestling. His good friends Jeff Hardy, Matt Hardy and Shane Helms recently drew in a packed house at an independent wrestling show, so a group tour could be an option.
February 28, 2014
The demotion of Brodus Clay seems to be getting worse and worse. Aside from being pulled from Monday Night Raw and Smackdown, he has been working in the developmental program as of late, training with Bill DeMott. Clay worked a match for WWE NXT and actually put over Angelo Dawkins. Generally, main roster guys are the ones getting the victories.
February 24, 2014
There are talks that WWE could add a divas match at the last minute to the Elimination Chamber 2014 pay per view. AJ Lee would obviously be one of the contestants since she still holds the belt. Cameron is a possible challenger, as the company created some teaser graphics involving her recently. Natalya Neidhart has stated that she is training for the event, so she is a candidate as well.
February 23, 2014
While his dreams of working at Wrestlemania 30 might be in jeopardy, that has not stopped Brodus Clay from trying. He has been training with Bill DeMott, the head trainer for WWE, down in developmental as of late. No word yet on when he will return to Monday Night Raw or Smackdown.
February 21, 2014
While they were in Colorado Springs for the Smackdown taping this week, Darren Young and Mark Henry decided to train together at the Olympic Training Center. This was the facility that Henry utilized years ago when he was an Olympic athlete.
February 20, 2014
Some further details have been revealed on the release of LeiD Tapa from TNA. Management is said to be disappointed that she did not improve her skills enough during her time with the company. There are also rumors backstage that she was a "ticking time bomb", but LeiD has denied being a problem performer on her Twitter account.
March 24, 2014
It looks like LeiD Tapa is done with TNA. Her match against Gail Kim on Impact Wrestling this week was her final appearance for the company. Both sides decided to part ways, as the company was not pushing her and she was unable to connect with the audience. She thanked the company through her Twitter account.
March 21, 2014
In a very impressive match at TNA Lockdown 2014, Madison Rayne was able to retain the Knockouts Championship against Gail Kim, even though LeiD Tapa attempted to interfere. A flying spear from the top rope enabled the champion to get the pin fall victory.
March 9, 2014
TNA has been promoting a Battle of the Knockouts for the upcoming episode of Impact Wrestling. It's a six woman tag team match featuring newcomer Alpha Female, LeiD Tapa and Gail Kim on one team, while the other team is comprised of Madison Rayne, Velvet Sky and ODB. It is designed to promote the feud between Madison and Gail.
March 4, 2014
This rather interesting picture surfaced on Twitter this week. It's Alpha Female, who signed a contract with TNA while they were on the European tour, and LeiD Tapa carrying Al Snow, a backstage agent for Impact Wrestling.
February 8, 2014
On Impact Wrestling last night, Madison Rayne made her return to TNA, where the former Knockouts Champion saved ODB from an attack by Gail Kim and Lei'D Tapa. Rayne had taken some time away from the company to have a child.

story and photo
by Maren Schober
Today's interview takes me to the Integrated Day Charter School in Norwich where I am privileged to meet and chat with 5th/6th grade teacher Melissa Dearborn. In November, 2007, Melissa was honored to receive a $1000 grant from the Southern Poverty Law Center.
"I received this Teaching Tolerance award to support my "Use Another Word" program," explains Melissa.
"Encouraging tolerance and understanding of other students, family and community members is very important in my mind. We can not teach anything to students until we establish a climate of mutual respect. This comes from politeness, respect of others and our choice of words when we talk with those around us."
Melissa's "Use Another Word" campaign goes well beyond her classroom.
"Small group discussions are being held in every grade from preschool through eighth grade," Melissa states. " The first thing that happens is students listen to the negative words they hear spoken to others on the school buses, in families, out in the community and in school. We discuss the meaning of the words and more important, how they make others feel inside. We find that words of intolerance are used against others based on their gender, race, ability, socio- economics or against people who are gay or perceived as being gay. It is my hope that our students will "use another word" and that a better understanding of how we are all connected will spread from our students out into our families and community."
Students, staff and parents all sign a pledge that they will say, "Use another word, please," when they hear words of intolerance spoken. The pledge also encourages increased awareness to the influence of music, movies, and other media and a commitment to speak up for others when necessary.
Melissa further shares, "The students in my class were asked to design a button. We voted and the chosen design says, "Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will always hurt me."
The grant money Melissa received is being used for teaching tolerance resources and the buttons. Parents and teachers can find tolerance resources on the website for the Southern Poverty Law Center: www.splcenter.org.
A major highlight of this school year for Melissa was the collection at school of puppets, balls, math games, science materials and all kinds of school supplies for children and orphans in Kenya, Africa. This collection was made through the American Friends of Kenya organization which has a chapter in CT. This July Melissa and her daughter traveled to Kenya delivering boxes of supplies for the children.
"We visited the children in their schools, orphanages and in the slums. I learned so much from this trip. Many children in Kenya have so little and we are in a position to help," cites Melissa. More information about the American Friends of Kenya comes from their website: www.afkinc.org.
Melissa Dearborn started teaching at the Integrated Day Charter School of Norwich when it opened in 1997. She grew up in Old Lyme and graduated from Goddard College in Plainfield, VT. When her son Will sustained an injury at birth, she had the strong desire to learn about child development and to go into teaching. She is loved and respected by school staff and students. We are all fortunate to have this gifted, dedicated teacher in our midst.

Millsaps MBA one of the 20 "Top Tier" programs in North America Says CEO Magazine
"The Value of the MBA - in 3D"
from the Graduate Management Admission Council
The Master of Business Administration Curriculum consists of three levels of coursework: Foundation, Core, and Electives. The total amount of coursework required of the MBA student varies from 30 - 48 hours of academic credit depending on the amount of Foundation coursework that can be waived with prior academic credit.
The MBA program can be completed in 12 months by a full-time student who has all of the Foundation courses waived. For the full-time student with no previous academic credit in business, the program can be completed in 20 months. For the part-time student, the time to complete the program varies depending on the number of courses taken each semester.
All MBA courses are offered at night which allows the working professional to attend the Millsaps MBA program. In fact, the working professional is encouraged to attend the Millsaps MBA program.

Elective Courses
The MBA student must earn at least 12 academic credit hours in elective courses. These courses (most of which are three academic credit hours) allow the student to focus his or her study in a particular area of interest. Or a student may choose to take elective courses in a variety of discipline areas.
International Study
The Millsaps MBA program has a long-established international study component. The European Study program is a 3-week or 6-week summer course of study conducted in such business and cultural centers as London, Paris, Munich, and Florence. During the semester break, after Christmas and before the Spring semester begins, the MBA student has a wonderful opportunity to study in Mexico at the Millsaps College mini-campus in the Yucatan.
Internships are encouraged and facilitated by the faculty of the Else School of Management. Internships are a cooperative effort involving the student, one or more Else School professors, and the student's field supervisor. Together this group must agree upon terms of the internship as specified in the official internship registration documents provided by the registrar's office. Activities of the intern must include legitimate academic inquiry and the student must be amenable to evaluation on that basis. Else School internships require the student to work in a meaningful capacity for at least 10 - 12 hours per week for the 14-week semester to receive three hours of graduate credit.

Who needs a rod and reel?
This guy in Florida decided to make his catch of the day a memorable one.
A huge white tarpon, leaped out of the water and latched on to his forearm.
His wife caught it on her cell phone and provided the Babe Winkleman like commentary.
The man was not hurt, the fish ended up getting away and is said to have learned its lesson about trying to haul in a human off a dock!

From Taylor Momsen to Michelle Williams to Jennifer Lopez, these short boots seem to be the shoe choice of many stars today. If you're looking for the perfect boots to go with your hot tights for fall, here are our affordable picks from Endless.

We fell in love with this bar stool when we saw it. Although we kept coming back to the eggplant, we ended up purchasing the cream to compliment out off-white area rug in the living room. Both chairs are fully assembled and were packed extremely well. The assembler of one of the chairs was not paying close attention to what he/she was doing and tacked on the metal foot plates wrong. All four are crooked. Don't let this detour you though, all in all this a very fine product and very pleasing to the eye. They are also very comfortable to sit in. Having the low back does two things: 1) it forces you to sit up properly; and 2) it doesn't overwhelm the bar area by having too much going on. One more thing...you may want to remove the plastic floor protectors on the bottom of the feet and add something better. We noticed that it scratched our wood floor when we moved the chair. Go ahead and splurge....they are definitely worth it.
I was so happy when this stool was delivered whole, with nothing to put together. I purchased the shorter size, in brown. I could not be happier. While some reviews complained of the stiffness of the seat, I find it very comfortable. The stool feels very sturdy and I wouldn't want it to be any cushier. Of course, this is a matter of preference...firm vs soft. It swivels nicely. Thankfully, it doesn't swivel freely. It takes just a bit of effort on the sitter to get the seat to swivel. I don't like sitting in a stool that suddenly starts swiveling on it's own, particularly if I'm drinking or eating. The dark wood and microfiber cusioning is very rich looking. I got the brown and it is exactly as I expected. I do think the stool is pricey, but well worth it.
Reading all the positive reviews for this product, I purchased two sets of these swivel stools. The modern look and low back was exactly what we were looking for. The product arrived quickly and we were excited to get them assembled. Right out of the box, the stools were missing hardware and had the wrong sized washers. This required a trip to Home Depot. Upon our arrival home, we made our second attempt at assembling the stools. I got to work assembling one stool, my wife the other. As I was assembling the first stool, I turned it over to discover the factory missed several screws that should have been in place under the chair. I was concerned this would compromise stability in the long run, but figured another trip to Home Depot was too much for the day and I would address the missing screws under the chair at another time. I moved forward with the leg assemble. As I was assembling the legs I noticed one of the legs was split. It appears the supplied screws are too long and damage the wood. While this was happening my wife, who was working on stool number two, said to me "Am I going crazy or is this leg rest missing a hole?" Yes, the leg rest only had three holes not four! There was no place to screw in the fourth leg. We disassembled the stools and shipped them back to Overstock. While the stools are very attractive, they are a quality control disaster. The great news is Overstock.com provided exceptional customer service and my money was quickly refunded.
This is my second purchase of this stool. I don't have to assemble with my previous purchased last year but this time I have to put them together. Overall it is not too difficult to assemble. I like the style and it is comfortable.
I love my new bar stool. I am using it because i am working on my computer at the kitchen bar.. I have short legs so getting up on it was a challenge at first however it gets easier every time. This item is shipped in parts and has to be put together... wasn't hard or easy-- just doable.
I love the style of the chairs. I purchased 4. We needed parts from all 4 to get 2 together. The parts were either missing, had too many of something or not there at all. The two we managed to put together are beautiful. The other 2 were returned for credit rather than replacement because we could not handle another session of trying to assemble two more. Overstock.com was wonderful about arranging for pick up and crediting our account. I trust Overstock customer service to always take care of their customers. People were commenting about the colors. Ours is gold. It is not as sharp yellow gold as the picture indicates. It's softer looking and blends well with other gold, and terracota colors I have in the area.
I ordered these chairs because I was having a hard time finding purple stools that were not plastic. I love these! They're low profile and easily fit under my kitchen counter. They are solid (not flimsy) and great quality. Very easy to assemble!
As other reviewers have noted, the stool is very stiff in the swivel mechanism. When seated with your weight applied it works very well but if you are standing and need to rotate the seat in order to sit down, the entire stool will move before the swivel. The modern style of the stool is good and it slips easily under the island overhanging countertop. The stool is very much style with limited function.
Received three of these barstools each in a different color: gold, lime green, cocoa brown. They are stunning! Everyone who has come to see them has been blown away. No one had ever seen anything like them before. So unique, so outstanding. Even emailed my friends and received the same comments. We're shooo happy with them. Not difficult to assemble, does take a little time but so worth it.
Bought this in gold to match an ottoman. Love the color, very rich looking with the black legs. I am too short to get up into the stool comfortably, but my hubby does and says it is very comfortable. A wee dent in one of the legs when it arrived, but it doesn't detract from the look so we didn't return it. The pegs on the bottom of the legs are quite small, about the size of a dime/nickel or so. We just put in new vinyl tile in our kitchen so we plan to put different pegs on the bottom to avoid dents. Not sure if it will be an issue, but we'll do it anyway. Nice piece!

Evaluation of Marfan patients status post valve-sparing aortic root replacement with 4D flow
2013; 31 (9): 1479-1484
BACKGROUND: Over the past two decades elective valve-sparing aortic root replacement (V-SARR) has become more common in the treatment of patients with aortic root and ascending aortic aneurysms. Currently there are little data available to predict complications in the post-operative population. The study goal was to determine if altered flow patterns in the thoracic aorta, as measured by MRI, are associated with complications after V-SARR. METHODS: Time-resolved three-dimensional phase-contrast MRI (4D flow) was used to image 12 patients with Marfan syndrome after V-SARR. The patients were followed up for an average of 5.8years after imaging and 8.2years after surgery. Additionally 5 volunteers were imaged for comparison. Flow profiles were visualized during peak systole using streamlines. Wall shear stress estimates and normalized flow displacement were evaluated at multiple planes in the thoracic aorta. RESULTS: During the follow-up period, a single patient developed a Stanford Type B aortic dissection. At initial imaging, prior to the development of the dissection, the patient had altered flow patterns, wall shear stress estimates, and increased normalized flow displacement in the thoracic aorta in comparison to the remaining V-SARR patients and volunteers. CONCLUSIONS: This is the first follow-up study of patients after 4D flow imaging. An aortic dissection developed in one patient with altered flow patterns and hemodynamic stresses in the thoracic aorta. These results suggest that flow and altered hemodynamics may play a role in the development of post-operative intramural hematomas and dissections.

Canadian data centers are becoming a big topic for tech companies and businesses around the world, bucking the trend of exporting tech resources to the warmer and cheaper climes of India and China. But a data center in Canada can offer companies some serious benefits, ones that are unique to Canada and Canada alone. These unique conditions are bringing companies to Canada in droves, with business expected to grow as much as 50 times in less than 10 years. The reasons businesses are moving their data centers to the Great White North are many and varied, but one in particular is something we have been all too familiar with this year: the weather.
Data centers are essentially giant buildings of computers, computers that are constantly running and generating heat that needs cooling. Canada's winters may be something to grumble about if you live here, but if you are running a data center, cooler temperatures can save you a fortune in energy bills by relying on the classic Canadian winter to keep things cool. The systems are appropriately called "free energy" and uses additional ducts that take in the Canadian cool air as part of a building's overall cooling system. The system can reduce cooling costs by up to fifty percent. With energy prices rising, Canada's natural and energy conserving climate is appealing to data centers, and those savings can go directly to their clients.
Canada is also home to lots and lots of open space. With a population density for the whole country below 4 people per square kilometre, we have plenty of room for large data centers to set up shop. With such room for large buildings relatively close to large urban centers, Canada's geography can help data centers keep their costs down at a fundamental level. Lower property rental costs means lower costs overall and that is another way Canadian data centers can help businesses save money.
But with our open space comes a surprisingly reliable infrastructure for power, internet access, and more, something other countries simply do not have. Canada's prosperous history ensured that all of their citizens had access to stable power and phones, and now internet as well, and this is paramount for data centers. Power losses when housing as much computing power as your average data center are catastrophic, which means they need to be somewhere that power is constant and consistent. The Canadian power grid is very stable, which is drawing data centers north.
Our unique climate and geography is appealing to data center providers because they keep the costs low, saving their clients money. But Canada is also home to some of the best computer minds in the world, which means data centers can employ top talent without convincing them to leave the country. A data center in Canada couples the money savings of outsourcing with the talent of the best educational systems in the world. The result is top of the line service at very, very competitive prices. This is one of the biggest reasons that people are seeking to migrate their server and business infrastructure to Canada.

Waterproof Belted Trench 19 21
Not Breathable I selected this trenchcoat over others because it was advertised as being breathable. It is not. In fact, I wore the coat twice without the lining on days below 55F and perspired through my blouse each time. Back it goes to Travelsmith. October 24, 2013
Don't make 'em quite like they used to! I purchased a calf-length Travelsmith raincoat with liner about 15 years ago. It was quite an investment for me at the time but it has been a wonderful travel companion, still is, and I was hoping for an equivalent coat in a different color and style. Sadly the new coat and liner didn't quite measure up to my expectations, and I returned them. This is not to say that it's not a good coat. It's well-made and it fit well. It just didn't compare well. For example, the old coat's fabric is soft and wrinkle-shedding. New coat fabric was a bit crackly and stayed wrinkled, even after days on a hanger. Old coat looks fine with or without the zip-in liner. New coat looked good alone, but unflatteringly puffy with the button-in liner. Etc. One feature of the new coat that I really liked was the two inside zip pockets. Not quite enough to tip the balance, though. October 9, 2013
Nice jacket...but The jacket looks nice, but it is quite stiff and doesn't really "drape beautifully", as advertised. Also, I went by my measurements and ordered the petite medium, but it is way too big in the shoulders and bunches up by the cape effect in back even though it is raglan-sleeved. I'm debating whether I should return it for the petite small, but then it might be too tight in the hips. Am hoping that when it's washed it will soften up a bit and drape better. The cape effect in back is just a mock cape--not a completely loose flap that could be taken in with darts--as it's stitched down onto the jacket back. But the color is nice, and the fabric is soft to the touch. June 21, 2013
Beautiful, but order 1 size larger Based on other reviews, I ordered one size larger and it fit nearly perfectly. The only problem is that the sleeves are too long, but I can easily get that altered. It looks great and appears to be constructed very well. It does rustle when you move, so you will hear a swish-swish sound when you walk. It came with a pouch for storage, but it doesn't pack down as small as I expected. Still, it is a lovely piece and I think I will get a lot of use out of it. I got the liner (sold separately) too, and it is also high quality and very nice. May 24, 2013
Worth Every Penny I purchased this raincoat along with the raincoat liner for my recent trip to Istanbul. I was looking for something lighter to pack, yet warm enough for walking around the city. Initially, I was hesitant to purchase the coat due to the high price, but I am glad I did. I wore that coat every single day of my 15 day journey. It kept me dry and it kept me just warm enough. It's a good investment and a classic design, so I know I will wear this coat in the years ahead. March 5, 2013
waterproof belted trench Love the style and fit is excellent. I was disappointed in the fabric, however. The storage bag doesn't wrinkle but the coat looks like I slept in it. I never had a problem with my double collar raincoats doing this. I'd recommend this coat with reservations. January 19, 2013
Annie I am a size 8. The medium was much too large and the sleeves very long. Am ex changing for a size small. Otherwise it looks as though it will be great. August 15, 2012
Not what I expected Sadly, the coat is too big. Also, the belt is not stiff at all, so when it ties it does not hold it's shape, which is what I wanted. July 28, 2012

Nashville-Davidson metropolitan government (balance) >Lodging > Loews Vanderbilt Hotel
2100 W End Ave, Nashville, TN | Directions 3720336.150658 -86.802246
Home Sweet Loews – This hotel is a treat! During our 4-day stay, the staff remembered us by name both day and night; the concierge staff were some of the best I've ever worked with! The musical references "hidden" around the hotel were fun to look for and the lobby jukebox had an element of fun that was very representative of Nashville. It probably helped that we were visiting in June (Vanderbilt University was quiet) but we can't wait to come back!
Business Amenities – I live in the Nashville area and I am an accountant. I stay here a couple of times per year to complete yearly projects. This has to be the best hotel by far I have ever stayed in. Service is absolutely the best I have ever experienced. They allow pets too! They give my golden special treatment as well! The only con I have is the charges on the business services. They are not in line with other hotels. High speed internet services are free in other hotels and the charge here is a bit extreme. To receive or send faxes are as well. You pay for all the niceties you receive and this should be part of it. These charges will make me think twice before staying with them on my business trips.
Romance in the City! – This hotel is so romantic! Everything is so luxurious. This is my second stay and it was even better than the first. You cannot possibly beat the great service here. The real grass in the lobby adds a great comedic touch to a seriously classy hotel.
Luxury With a Smile – This is the first time I have stayed at a Loews Hotel, as I normally stay at Ritz or Four Seasons. I was told to stay at Loews when in Nashville and I am glad I did. Excellent hotel, with a staff who really cares about you. Makes all the difference. I'll now look for Loews in other cities.
EAT in DRINK in EAT – It's not just your ordinary hotel. It's fun and it starts before you even step in the door. The lions are complete with cloaks for every occasion - they even have raincoats! There's a video showing on the screen, a juke box to play, grass growing in the lobby. We were really impressed with the warm greetings and smiles we received from the staff. This place really knows how to treat their guests!
So cool – From the moment you walk in you know this place is different. The lobby is beautiful, an experience itself, with real grass and hall of fame displays. I loved the juke-box with cd's of their previous guests. Lots of music industry types around. Down comforters in the room a nice touch too! If you go for the weekend don't leave without checking out the Sunday Brunch, the best around.
I've got friends in Loews places. – The Loews Vanderbilt Hotel really is considered a "home away from home" to many, both far and near. Celebrities from many fields including politics, medicine, music, film and business wouldn't think of staying anywhere else in Nashville! Many of these individuals are on a first name basis with the staff. Guests always know they are treated like they own the hotel and any request they may have will be accommodated without question. Locals attend the most important charity galas year round, in Nashville, in the lavish ballroom of the Loews Vanderbilt. eat, the restaurant at Loews Vanderbilt, offers another favorite venue of locals, the finest Sunday Brunch fare in Nashville.
