Theater review: 'Legally Blonde' at Beck Center to dye for
The Beck Center for the Arts in Lakewood has its bases covered, musical theater-wise. On its intimate Studio Theater stage is the hard-driving "Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson," while down the hall and at the other end of the artistic spectrum is the fluffy, sugar-sweet "Legally Blonde" on its main stage.
A meringue of a musical comedy, "Legally Blonde" gives us Elle Woods, an underestimated sorority girl who is dumped by her boyfriend for someone more serious and less, well, blonde. Unfamiliar with rejection, this life-sized Malibu Barbie complete with accessories pursues him to Harvard Law School, where she enrolls to win him back. Along the way, she delivers a song and dance at regular intervals and discovers her own self-worth between refrains.
Spawned from the MGM film starring Reese Witherspoon rather than the more respectable realms of legitimate theater or classic literature, "Legally Blonde" requires those in attendance to leave their brains at the door. But not their high expectations, for this show is a thoroughly charming and endearing entertainment.
The upbeat and deceptively complicated music by Laurence O'Keefe, as delivered by a wonderful and well-staffed orchestra under Larry Goodpaster's direction, offers infectious confections as songs. Musical numbers, such as "Omigod You Guys" and "Bend and Snap," give the show a full-throttled forward momentum, which is embraced and embellished in Scott Spence's direction. The stage is awhirl with energetic, well-orchestrated activity from start to finish.
Nell Benjamin's lyrics and Heather Hath's dialogue are wittier than one might expect. Like tasting a bit of zest in a face full of seemingly sweet dessert, their words occasionally give one pause.
So, too, does Caitlin Elizabeth Reilly's performance as Elle.
While the film and national tour renditions of Elle range from perky to perkier, Reilly adds what could best be described as self-awareness and spunk to the character's repertoire. This lets some of the air out of her effervescence and, at times, seems disingenuous amidst Martín Céspedes' delightful I'm-just-a-pretty-girl choreography with its runway model movement and very high-altitude attitude.
These distractions of depth are made up for by members of the ensemble. They seem more in step with the show's saccharine sensibilities and, like Reilly, come equipped with phenomenal singing voices and stage presence. Comprised largely of Beck Center regulars like dance captain Holly Kay Harris and Kelsey Elizabeth Smith, ensemble members move as one and master everything that Céspedes can throw at them. This includes the astoundingly athletic "Whipped Into Shape" production number featuring the ripped Shannon Eller as fitness guru Brooke. And they make it all look easy.
This production also offers a very strong supporting cast, particularly the hilarious Kimberly Bush and Caitlin Rose as desperate-for-a-man hairdresser, Paulette, and the desperate-for-a-woman law student, Enid Hoopes, respectively. Erin Diroll, Ashley Coleman and Anna Register, as Elle's sorority sisters and Greek choir conscience, are terrific, as well.
Carrying the burden of a slow-burning romance as well as most of the show's sustained high notes is Jamie Koeth as upperclassman Emmett Forrest. His "Take It Like a Man" duet with Elle is a highlight of the production. All this is complemented by Ben Needham's clever and attractive scenic design — a collection of set pieces and parts that are swiftly constructed and deconstructed with each scene — and character-correct costuming by David Glowe. Rapid costume changes are performed seamlessly while other technical aspects of this production, such as lighting and sound, are still works in progress as of opening night. Continued...
Given its popular-culture pedigree, "Legally Blonde" is an unexpected delight and, despite some quirks, this Beck Center production of it is fun clear down to the follicles.
"Legally Blonde: The Musical" runs through Aug.12 at the Beck Center for the Arts in Lakewood. For tickets, which range from $17 to $28, call 216-521-2540 x10 or visit www.beckcenter.org.

Spam is the place where a bunch of cray-ass writers come to procrastinate, and we call it a Community. A family, if you will. Think of your family. There's probably a couple sluts. Some jailbait. One guy everyone hates but tolerates. A black guy maybe. Some nerdy people, some not-so-nerdy people. Maybe a playwright, maybe a guy who thinks he's some twisted ruler of a species of birds, maybe a Scottish guy who draws on a tablet a lot and parties like it's 1985, and maybe that one guy who's just really fucking annoying and so much so that he eventually just gets kicked out. There is no theme in a family. There is not one prominent thing in every family member, except DNA, but not even that because marriage and stuff. Understand? K? K. TL;DR, you don't like sex and drugs and nerdy shit and rage comics and smart people and dumb people and kids and adults and scots and brits and hicks and stuck-up New Englanders and Canadians and whores and prudes and every fucking other thing under the sun? DON'T LET THE MOTHERFUCKING DOOR HIT YOU ON THE WAY OUT. Kay, I'm done <3

"I feel helpless. I've got photos of them and still can't catch them," said Todd McLain, owner of Patrick Auto Salvage, whose business was robbed, again, Dec. 12, of more than 150 rims; each valued at approximately $100.
McLain said his business has been robbed several times during the past six months. "Last time they got more like two or three hundred rims," he said.
Frustrated, McLain decided to invest in surveillance cameras with infrared lighting. "I camouflaged the cameras," said McLain, but in most of the footage the burglars were too close for the cameras to focus. The footage, however, does reveal the suspects spent more than three hours loading merchandise from the business.
"It was agonizing to watch them going back and forth," said McLain. The suspects were in the building from midnight until approximately 3:30 a.m.
McLain's frustration has prompted him to offer a $1,000 cash reward to anyone who can positively identify the perpetrators. "It's been awful. I finally set what I thought was a trap, and still, nobody can help," he said.
Anyone who may know the identity of these suspects, or have any information about the crime, should contact Sgt. Wayne Jordan with the Investigation Unit of the Chesterfield County Sheriff's Office at 843-623-2261.

Terminology Note: Normative Language in German Ist/Soll/Kann
Posted by Élise Hendrick under Uncategorized
Problems tend to arise, however, in attempting to distinguish in translation between "wird erteilt", "ist zu...", "soll", and "kann". The distinction here is quite central to statutory construction in Germany. One of the fundamental questions one asks when construing a statute is whether it is an Ist-Vorschrift, a Soll-Vorschrift, or a Kann-Vorschrift. The answer to this question - readily determinable from the statutory language - has wide-ranging consequences.

This specific command courtesy of lifehacker:http://lifehacker.com/5568817/
Though all can be found in manual page linked above.
The Linux kernel uses unused memory in caches. When you execute "free" you never get the "real" available memory.
Knock on ports to open a port to a service (ssh for example) and knock again to close the port. You have to install knockd.
See example config file below.
logfile = /var/log/knockd.log
sequence = 3000,4000,5000
seq_timeout = 5
command = /sbin/iptables -A INPUT -i eth0 -s %IP% -p tcp --dport 22 -j ACCEPT
tcpflags = syn
sequence = 5000,4000,3000
seq_timeout = 5
command = /sbin/iptables -D INPUT -i eth0 -s %IP% -p tcp --dport 22 -j ACCEPT
tcpflags = syn
If you want a visual representation of the parent/child relationships between processes, this is one easy way to do it. It's useful in debugging collections of shell scripts, because it provides something like a call traceback.
When a shell script breaks, just remember "awwfux".
Sometimes you need to use a port that is already opened by some program , and you don't know who to "kill" for it to release - so, now you do !
Probably only works with GNU du and modern perls.
This recursively downloads all images from a given website to your /tmp directory. The -nH and -nd switches disable downloading of the directory structure.
Tee can be used to split a pipe into multiple streams for one or more process to work it. You can add more " >()" for even more fun.
I have a bash alias for this command line and find it useful for searching C code for error messages.
The -H tells grep to print the filename. you can omit the -i to match the case exactly or keep the -i for case-insensitive matching.
This find command find all .c and .h files
Blacklisted is a compiled list of all known dirty hosts (botnets, spammers, bruteforcers, etc.) which is updated on an hourly basis. This command will get the list and create the rules for you, if you want them automatically blocked, append |sh to the end of the command line. It's a more practical solution to block all and allow in specifics however, there are many who don't or can't do this which is where this script will come in handy. For those using ipfw, a quick fix would be {print "add deny ip from "$1" to any}. Posted in the sample output are the top two entries. Be advised the blacklisted file itself filters out RFC1918 addresses (10.x.x.x, 172.16-31.x.x, 192.168.x.x) however, it is advisable you check/parse the list before you implement the rules
Shorter, easier to remember version of cmd#7636
NTP is better, but there are situations where it can't be used. In those cases, you can do this to sync the local time to a server.
History usually only gives the command number and the command. This will add a timestamp to the history file.
Note: this will only put the correct timestamp on commands used after the export is done. You may want to put this in your .bashrc
Very handy to bring the word currently under the cursor into a :s command in Vim.
If the cursor was on the word "eggs":
:s/ ==> :s/eggs
Uses shell expansion to create a back-up called file.txt.bak

Does Pod Farm 2.5 Support the UX2/KB37's Foot Pedals Yet?
Like (0)
After all, it has only been on teh market for several years, surely it is not too much to expect that it now supports all the features of the hardware it is supposed to work with, is it? Or am I doomed to forever use GearBox, which no longer gets any updates?
Yes? No? Nobody else cares?
nobody knows what you are talking about... pod farm 2.x works just fine with the FBV pedals.
I don't believe that POD Farm 2.5 supports foot pedals plugged into the 1/4 inch ports of the UX-2 or KB-37. I think you are doomed forever to use GearBox. Sorry. PF 2.5 does support the FBV pedals though.
Stay in the mix and in the know.

LOS ANGELES - Home sales in Los Angeles County jumped by 11.9 percent in June, compared to the same month a year ago, while prices rose by 2.2 percent, a real estate information service announced today.
The numbers released by San Diego-based DataQuick were echoed by the California Association of Realtors, which released figures showing that sales in the Los Angeles metropolitan area rose by 5.8 percent last month, compared with June 2011. Los Angeles-area home prices also increased by 7.9 percent in June over the same month last year, according to CAR.
CAR noted that home sales dipped 4.7 percent between May and June in the L.A. metropolitan area, but home prices statewide have reached their highest level since August 2010.
DataQuick reported that 7,619 homes changed hands in Los Angeles County last month, compared to 6,809 in June 2011. The median price of a home in Los Angeles County in June was $325,000, up from $318,000 in June 2011.
In Orange County, 3,351 homes were sold in June, up 13.7 percent from June 2011, when 2,947 were sold. The median home price was $453,000 last month, up 1.8 percent from $445,000 in June 2011, according to DataQuick.
A total of 22,075 new and resale houses and condos sold in Los Angeles, Riverside, San Diego, Ventura, San Bernardino and Orange
The median price for a Southern California home was $300,000 last month, up 1.7 percent from $295,000 in May and up 5.3 percent from $285,000 in June 2011.
"The June numbers look pretty good at first glance, but they're more mixed when you scratch beneath the surface," said John Walsh, DataQuick president. "Yes, the median sale price rose again, but it's clear this has a lot to do with changes in the types of homes selling, rather than across-the- board price appreciation. Fewer of the homes selling now are foreclosures, while more are nice houses in mid- to higher-end neighborhoods."

Judges Marsha Revel and Elden Fox have apparently been disciplined by the California Commission on Judicial Performancefor their methods while overseeing the actress' 2010 DUI case!
According to newly filed legal documents, the oversight panel was none too pleased with Miss Revel for meeting alone with Robert Shapiro, who was briefly acting as Lindsay Lohan's defense attorney, as well as Fox's decision to deny her bail on a minor charge!
Luckily for them, the punishment is essentially a slap on the wrist, as all they received were "advisory letters" for their actions!
We be they are not too please now are they?!

Thread: Dubai August this year
Dubai August this year
Haven't told you about this, but as a last minute thing over the Summer we Carpe'd anothe Diem and bnoooked a last minute trip to Dubai. We had no plans for the summer holidays and had planned on going to the Scilly Isles to see Lisa's sister.
However the cost of accomodation for 6 days for what was essentially a maisonette was going to be more than £3k without even getting to the Island /food /petrol to drive to Penzance etc - and her sister wasn't going to be very free as it was her busy season , so we looked around.
Thomas, as you may remember, is obsessed with skyscrapers and architecture. We went to Paris earlier in the year ( can't remember if I told you that either ) went up the Eiffel tower, the Louvre , Notre Dame etc and had a splendid 2 days ( do tell me and I'll bore you with pics of that as well)
Anyway theone place he has ached to go is Dubai - we had never really thought of going because it is percieved as being 1 very hot and 2 very expensive
But fiddling on t'internet one afternoon I noticed that actually Augist this year was not crazy money at all as 1. its very hot and their low season and 2. It was Ramadan and for some reason that puts some people off. As a result the hotels had a lot of special offers on and we booked a week in the Jumeriah Beach Hotel ( 5*+ ) 1/2 board for half the price of the scilly isles (!!!)
We had saved a ridiculous number of virgin miles over the years since opur last trip so the flights were not bad at all either
So we went
It was probably the best weeks vacation outside of Kenya I have ever been on , that we had all ever been on.
The luxury and pampering was beyond compare
The foot was absolutely world class
The people were unbelivably kind and helpful
Culturally it was a fascinating experience and being Ramadan made it all the more special - hearing the prayers from the mosques at sundown was a very moving experience.
It was rather warm - 47 degrees and humid but amazing how fast you adapt and we were constantly plied with free lollies and water, the air con was astonishing
The hotel was the best we have ever been in bar none, huge room bigger than our house footprint and that wasa basic room
The architecture and buildings were astonishing , Thomas nearly fainted when we went up the Burj Khalifa - you have o way of understanding how big that thing is until you go up there - the 'observation deck is' 2/3 of teh way up and you are at cloud level - if you turn and look up at what remains of te building above you it is taller than the Sears Tower - it is also an achingly beautiful structure
Our room looked out over the arabian gulf and we had a lovely view of the Burj Al Arab from the bed (!!) - I swam in the sea around the Burj and the water temperature was 37 degrees mmmm bliss
The Palm and 'the World' are feats of engineering magnificence and we spent a day looking at the aquarium in Atlantis#
Our Hotel had its own water theme park as well!
We had fun watching the Arabs ski in the mall of the emirates and Lisa was over the moon as we found several Cinnabons
pretty perfect holiday all round really and I'd go again in a heartbeat
Dubai land theme park is opening soon and it will be bigger than WDW , by quite some way

Re: Dubai August this year
Good lord! Tall, ain't they?
Looks to be quite a place. It's strange, but when I think about that area of the world, all I can picture is sand as far as the eye can see. It's odd to see these huge buildings and a modern city growing up out of there. But with my fear of heights, I ain't going up in any of those things!
I guess I've just led too sheltered a life.
And yes, I'd love to see what you've got of Paris!

Re: Dubai August this year
They know the oil is running out and they have been told by their Prince to embrace tourism or face returning to being pearl fishermen , they have embraced the concept with astonishing gusto.
I have never been anywhere in the world that I have felt so safe walking the streets, seriously. I would be happy for Lisa to walk about there at night alone.
How they have built such things in that heat is just a phenominal achievment
I love the place and will go back one day for sure
It was a thrill flying over Iraq and Iran, landing and then having a full English breakfast
Talking with the locals who fasted during the hours of daylight ( and that included taking fluids) , made me appreciate the sacrifice they make; it is a month of charity , family and togetherness and to share an Iftar buffet with them was very enriching and humbling - remember this is 47 degree heat!( and thats from a devout atheist)
It is amazing how quickly its gone from sand to one of the most advanced cities in the world
is planning our next visit to WDWI am:
Re: Dubai August this year
Dubai is a great place isn`t it?

The Sharks are sweating over the fitness of Bok Tendai Mtawarira, following the news that prop Dale Chadwick has suffered an injury setback.
Sharks coach John Plumtree confirmed that the 23-year-old could miss the start of the season.
"We've lost Dale [Chadwick] for four to six weeks with a stress fracture in his foot," Plumtree told the Sharks' website.
"We can't afford to have any upsets with Beast [Mtawarira] now, we lost him for a long period last year.
"So there is a little bit of pressure there, but I am excited about Allan Dell, he's a good young prop coming through our system."
The concerns over Mtawarira stems from a long-standing heart conditions which required medical procedures on more than one occasion in the last couple of years.
The player is suffering from an intermittent irregular heart rhythm, which forced him to return home to South Africa from the Springbok touring squad in November.
This followed his withdrawal from the Test against Ireland in Dublin as a precautionary measure, after he had a recurrence of mild heart palpitations.
Mtawarira had previously undergone a similar medical procedure when the condition flared up during a Super Rugby season.
"I am well, so there is really no need to worry," Mtawarira said after the procedure last year.
"The procedure went well. It's only a minor procedure and sometimes it needs to be done more than once to clear the palpitations. This is something that has happened to me before and that can be treated. Also, it's not career-threatening.
"Sometimes I get quite excited before a game and that is probably what triggered it."
Apart from the issue at loosehead prop, Plumtree is confident that he has adequate cover in the squad.
"If you look at our squad, there is good depth in the backs, good depth in the locks now, good depth amongst the loose forwards; there is really good competition for places and with the two trial games coming up in February, we'll get the opportunity to see how everyone performs," he said.
"This year, in comparison with previous years at this point in time, from a fitness point of view, we've lost a key player in Bismarck du Plessis for a period of time which isn't great, he's a big part of our planning and our game plan as well. It obviously puts pressure on the team without him, but it then presents an opportunity for others to step up."
In terms of squad depth, The Sharks have options all over the park to the extent that any injuries should not prove as catastrophic as they may have in the past.
They have lost very little, gained two in Butch James and Franco van der Merwe, with the bulk of the squad now very experienced.
"Butch and Franco have done well," explains The Sharks coach of the newcomers to the team. "Franco is really enjoying it here, although it is different to what he is used to, but he looks to have settled in nicely. Butch knows our system, knows how we operate here and it's really just coming back to family for him.
"He's been great."

Smithfield Nocturne 2009
Last Saturday, 6th June, saw a balmy evening in London's historic Smithfield when a record 10,000 spectators turned out for the third annual Smithfield Nocturne. With some of the best riders in the UK set to do battle on the city streets, special guests included Sir Paul Smith and Belgian cycling legend, Johan Museeuw.
The Nocturne's diverse programme of events kept the crowds well entertained. The Folding Bike race, featuring the now trademark 'Le Mans'-style start, was the most keenly contested yet, with the top twenty riders in each of the two heats going forward to the 40-rider final. After a 30-metre dash and wearing office attire, competitors hared around the five laps of the course before Keith Henderson crossed for first place. A creditable mention should also go to Rapha's very own Graeme Raeburn, a fast finishing second and surely the only man in London to own a Brompton autographed by Bradley Wiggins.
The Cycling Weekly Support Race saw a host of amateur cyclists testing themselves on the tight city circuit, while the Citihub Team Challenge led to a fierce relay battle, one eventually won by a team including Rapha's very own John Cannings.
As twilight approached the action became more intense still. In the Elite Women's race, the field quickly became strung out, with many riders finding the early pace too hot to handle. It was left to a select group featuring Dani King, Lucy Garner and Hannah Barnes to lead the race home, with Barnes getting the better of her two rivals in the final sprint.
Making its debut at the event was the fixed-wheel skid competition and London's fixie community turned out in numbers to see who could pull the longest continuous skid along the finishing straight. There were some sterling efforts, with plenty of spills ensuring a raucous reception.
The climax of the event was, as ever, the Men's Elite Criterium. With a field that boasted Olympic, world and national champions, the action was fast and furious, the riders racing for 1 hour and 5 laps, and at speeds of up to 45mph. On the close Smithfield circuit the crowd were treated to a thrilling race before Russell Downing of CandiTV-Marshalls Pasta secured victory. He was closely followed by Tony Gibb of Plowman Craven, with rising pro-tour star Ben Swift (Katusha) in third.
Reflecting on the event afterwards the Nocturne Series Director, James Pope, said: "The Smithfield Nocturne has been a key UK event for three years now. 2009 was bigger and better than ever before. Our spectator base just keeps growing and growing [and is] a real testament to how cycling is growing in London and the rest of the UK." He continued: "It was great to see everybody enjoying something fresh, exciting and free in the capital. The races proved to be a spectacle once again and the Elite race couldn't have been more thrilling."

McDonaldization & the Floating Population
Graduate Student Researchers of the Center for Chinese Studies assist in important research projects
Each year, the Center for Chinese Studies awards a number of research assistantships to outstanding graduate students. These awards contribute simultaneously to two crucial objectives of the center: to support UCLA's graduate students in Chinese studies, and to support the faculty in their research. The awards also contribute to a third objective: student training. Care is taken in teaming up the graduate student researchers and their faculty supervisors so that the students actually work in their own discipline, and ideally on topics of direct relevant to their program of study.
This academic year (2002-03), the center has appointed six graduate student researchers, in anthropology, history, political science, and sociology. Below, two of the center's graduate student researchers report on the projects on which they are working.

Xiaolei Wu (Department of Anthropology)
Assisting Professor Yunxian Yan
Project: "Transforming Americana: The McDonald's Phenomenon and Cultural Globalization in Beijing"
As a research assistant for Professor Yunxiang Yan of the Anthropology Department, my main responsibility is to conduct library research for his three-year research project "Transforming Americana: The McDonald's Phenomenon and Cultural Globalization in Beijing." In this project, the success of McDonald's in Beijing is being investigated to reveal the simultaneous, complementary, and interpenetrative processes of globalization and localization. More specifically, by studying the McDonald's phenomenon in Beijing, we are examining the local transformation of American popular culture, the social-cultural consequences of globalization, including its possible link to the rise of nationalism, and the role of the Chinese state in the process of globalization.
The project starts with two basic inquires. First, how have Beijing residents perceived, received, appropriated, and transformed McDonald's products and the American popular culture associated with it? Second, what social and cultural impact has McDonald's had on the everyday life of these people and on their views regarding America in particular and globalization in general? The ultimate objective of the project is to address a theoretical question currently under debate among students of cultural globalization: Does the sweeping diffusion of Western (mostly American) cultural products and values to the rest of the world lead to the creation of a global culture, erode nationalist ideology and sentiment, and eventually undermine the authority of the nation-state in the receiving countries? These questions will be answered through the testing of the localization hypothesis, the cultural awareness hypothesis, the multi-ownership hypothesis, and the managed globalization hypothesis.
My particular role is to research multidisciplinary literature on fast food culture, globalization, and consumption and articles from popular Chinese magazines on local people's attitude toward imported, Western culture.
* * *
Professor Yan's first publication on McDonald's in Beijing was a chapter in the book Golden Arches East.
"McDonald's in Beijing: the Localization of Americana." In Golden Arches East: McDonald's in East Asia. J. L. Watson (ed.) Stanford: Stanford University Press. Pp. 39-76.
An excerpt from Professor Yan's article "Mcdonald's in Beijing" is available at

Yi Pan (Department of Sociology)
Assisting Professor Donald Treiman
Project: "A Pilot Study for a National Survey of Migration in China"
This project is preparation for a national probability sample survey focused on internal migration in China. It is principally directed by Professor Donald J. Treiman (Sociology) and co-directed by Professor William M. Mason (Sociology). The purposes of this pilot project are to test the feasibility of alternative sampling, study design, and questionnaire construction strategies.
Since 1955, the Chinese government has strictly controlled rural-to-urban migration and, indirectly, the distribution of central components of social status through the use of a household registration (hukou) system. This complex system classifies members of every household according to (1) status -- either agricultural or nonagricultural -- and (2) "place," where place refers both to geographic location and to a work-defining entity such as a "work unit" or enterprise. The system restricts access to housing, medical care, education, and types of jobs to those registered in each locality and by different hukou status. This system has always restricted geographic mobility by requiring formal approval of requests to change registration place as a condition for moving, and by controlling changes in hukou status. With the economic reformed initiated in the 1980s, increasing numbers of people became geographically mobile, and in particular vast numbers flowed from rural to urban areas. Nevertheless, the rights and privileges associated with registration status are still in effect and this has created a "floating population" of individuals registered in one place but living in another, with restricted access to health care, housing, and education for their children.
Some estimates suggest that current migrants account for as much as one-fourth of an estimated total adult urban population of 240 million. To understand Chinese internal migration in its own context and on its own terms, the national study that this project seeks to pilot will provide data to address the following kinds of questions. How do migrants differ from those left behind, in both social and personality characteristics? What are the financial and social implications for sending communities? What are the consequences for migrants, in terms of health and well-being? What are the consequences for receiving communities, in terms of labor supply and pressure on urban infrastructure? What are the processes by which migration occurs? What is the incidence and prevalence of migration in China today? How have migration rates both responded to and influenced changes in policies regarding population movement, including the organization of the household registration system and reduction in the extent of urban privilege?
These research questions can be answered via a large-scale national sample survey in which complete migration histories and other social and demographic information are solicited or, even better, a panel study of the national population. Whether a national sample survey and a panel study are feasible hinges on the outcome of the pilot study this project is working on. To assess the feasibility of carrying out a national mobility survey, the pilot study will conduct a survey of approximately 1,550 people. The main tasks of the pilot survey are to explore sampling design questions about the sample coverage and the places to be sampled in the national survey, the feasibility of locating and interviewing migrants, and questionnaire design questions about collecting migration histories and migrant health data.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Magpie346 Excellent Stay!
We reserved 2 rooms for our family, 1 double for our 3 kids and 1 king for me and my husband. We were hoping for adjoining rooms but none were available but we were put on the same floor. We had 2 club level rooms. Club lounge is very nice. Full breakfast and snacks/drinks in the afternoon--kids loved it. There's also an outdoor lounge which has a beautiful view of New York. Location is excellent if you want to visit Chinatown and Broadway for shopping. Also, very convenient as the subway station is only steps away. This is our 2nd stay at this hotel. We chose this Sheraton because it's easier to drive in and out of the city and it's not as chaotic as a hotel in Time Square. If you want to eat well and on a budget, go to Chinatown. A typical bill for our family of 5 is only about $50 to $60! I highly recommend this Sheraton.
