Two years after police raided a Canton woman's home, Cherokee County Marshals assure they have made sure an admitted animal hoarder has no pets, but CBS Atlanta has Tough Questions.
In September 2010, authorities found two dozen dead animals at the home of Sharian Cahill. They also found nearly 130 cats and dogs on the property, some barely alive.
Cahill was sentenced to 10 years probation and community service early this year. She was also ordered not to take in any more animals.
"We are policing," said Deputy Marshal Fran Gates. "She waived her Fourth Amendment right so we can go to her residence at any time and search to be sure there are no animals there, period."
However, Gates said the last time marshals visited Cahill's home she was not home. Gates admitted authorities are not allowed to enter the property and they have no way to say with conviction that she has not violated the court's order.
"That is a concern," said Gates.
Neighbors said that they saw no evidence that Cahill's property has been cleaned up and they wonder if there is still contamination at the site.
Environmental officials that oversee Cherokee County could not say if the property is environmentally safe. They were researching the issue as of late Monday.
"I cannot say that it's safe," said Gates.
The director of the Cherokee County Animal Shelter would not comment on whether she thought Cahill's punishment was stiff enough.
"I'm not really sure," said Susan Garcia. "I think definitely she should be constrained to not owning animals for a long period of time."

AMAZING!! From the sound of the jet airplanes in the background, who would have thought that aliens would have been as technologically advanced as to design their own jet and fly in and out of a local airport in the evening when the light of a sunset creates a brilliant reflection and to deceive a teenager on a bike who needs a little practice at holding a camera steady! BRILLIANT!!

One Shoulder Tulle Ball Gown with Lace Appliques Style CKP421 99 100
Best Dress Ever This was the first dress I tried on and I absolutely fell in love with it. I tried on 2 more but I knew I had found the one. I came back the next day, tried it on again and purchased it minutes later. The bust was beautifully done by the women at David's Bridal...so there is no distance between the top beading and the bottom beading on the back. Now, 3 weeks after my wedding, when I talk to people about the wedding, it's the dress they bring up. They say the one shoulder strap was so unique. It was comfortable to wear and I paired it with the earrings in the picture ($15!) and bought a cathedral veil. It was the most perfect dress and a perfect blend of vintage, modern and classy. October 26, 2012
perfect Got lots of great compliments on my amazing dress. I went without the extra poof and it took a ton of the extra puff ball effect away. Without it looked much more vintage and flowy October 17, 2012
Princess! I never had a wedding dress so my husband of 15 years decided that it was time we renewed our vows in a church and have a full blown reception. I have never tried on a wedding gown before. I was scared to death that I wouldn't find a dress because I'm a plus size bride. I figured it would take 300 stores, 1,000 of try ons. So I started with David's Bridal. I heard bad things about them, but I didn't experience that. This was the second gown I tried on and instantly fell inlove with it. I had a bigger budget than most but for under 1,000.00 this dress has everything to make you feel like a princess even if you've been a housewife for most of your life. I didn't recommend the dress for a friend because I wouldn't want to see someone else in it before my day. :) Thank You David's Bridal for making me feel like a first time bride even when I'm very far from it. October 12, 2012
Felt like a princess Love love my dress.I felt like a princess at 39 years old.everyone just loved my dress. October 10, 2012

We were in town for a wedding and had the pleasure of staying at Bishops Hall. Since the moment we arrive the staff was extremely gracious and attentive to our every need. They provided great recommendations for places to eat and things to in the area. Our room was fantastic. Clean and spacious with ammeties to spare. The owners' attention to detail both in decor and with their guests is second to none. If you are visiting Chicago I highly recommend staying at Bishops Hall.

We were in town for a wedding and from the moment we walked in the door the proprietors took care of us, eager to make our stay as pleasant as possible. They made wonderful recommendations for attractions and dining in town. The home is exquisite and amenities are top notch. We would recommend the inn to anybody needing a couple nights in the Chicago area.

I was in town for business. All the hotels in the city were booked so I had to find an alternative. I could not have gotten luckier by booking the Yellow Room at Bishop's Hall! Could you ask for better location than Oak Park? (the answer is no). The whole house is stunning, the rooms were perfect, and breakfast got better each morning. Any time I am back in Chicago and I will certainly call Sam and Chuck for a room! Of all the places I've ever stayed in Chicagoland, this was probably the nicest and most relaxing. When you go, don't forget to ask about Schultzie the Schnauzer Dog! :)

To be honest, I was a bit skeptical when I was set to stay at this location. I had never stayed in a bed and breakfast and was concerned about a number of things such as privacy, internet access, freedom to come and go, etc. I can safely say that Chuck and Sam put each and every reservation to rest. The check-in was painless and they took me to my room. I was absolutely awestruck by the beauty and ammenities. I did receive an upgrade and, I hate to say, am probably spoiled for life. The room was huge; with the bedroom coupled with a sitting room and office area (including a gas fireplace), a seperate dressing room/ closet, a gigantic bathroom with a walk-in steam shower. The decorations were beautiful and it all had a very "at home" feel. The bed was firm (just as I prefer) and it was very quiet and peaceful. I woke the next morning as calm and rested as I can ever remember. The breakfast was excellent; they met my special dietary needs and it was very tasty. Even the breakfast room was calming. The rest of the house was immaculately clean and decorated to amazing detail. All in all, I honestly can't remember a couple of nights on the road in which I enjoyed the time after hours as much. I feel refreshed, recharged, and look forward to returning in the near future. Thank you, Chuck and Sam, for making me feel so welcome and "at home". Blessing on you as you continue this amazing service and hospitality. Ken

411 Instant Analysis 03.18.13: WWE Monday Night Raw
Posted by
Ben Watters
on 12.10.2012
John Cena fights Darren Young, there's an Intercontinental Title Triple Threat match and Punk mocks the Undertaker all on Monday Night Raw!
Welcome once again everybody to 411mania's Raw Instant Analysis! As always, I'm Ben Watters and I'm here to give you some personal opinions, a couple of ratings and, most of all, mindless ramblings to pretty much all of tonight's episode of Raw. So, to cut the chit-chat, let's get going...
SEGMENT ONE: Cena's Shirt Burns my Retinas
Man, that new shirt of Cena's is pretty outlandish. But then the cameras cut to Lawler's shirt and it made me reassess my opinion. Average promo from Cena to hype up the Wrestlemania match, which wasn't too bad. I certainly didn't expect the Primetime Players to come out to interrupt though. I literally had no idea what Titus was dressed as but, as usual, Titus O'Neil was absolute gold and I fully enjoyed his extended mic time. A weird segment, but a different way to kick off Raw and I liked it.
6.5 out of 10
SEGMENT TWO: John Cena vs Darren Young
Match Result: John Cena via Attitude Adjustment
Fruity Pebbles vs Cocoa Pebbles right here tonight! An obvious squash though (I'm pretty sure most of the match was during commercial) but like that really matters. Cena's main eventing Wrestlemania while the Primetime Players will, sadly, be lucky to get on the card at this point. Plus I'm pretty sure WWE will be wanting to be safeguarding Cena in the next few weeks so I expect to see a few more squash matches like this.
4.5 out of 10
SEGMENT THREE: Ryback vs David Otunga
Match Result: Ryback via Shell Shocked
The return of David Otunga! Why did this not get a graphic? Anyway, a standard Ryback squash for the match – I don't think Otunga got any offence in. Everytime I see Teddy Long come down to the ring though I immediately know there's lazy booking to follow though and this time was no different. I kind of expected something a bit more interesting than Teddy and Vicky just telling Ryback he's out of the 6 man tag and is facing Mark Henry. I mean, we all knew that match was coming but still, this seemed like a cop-out.
5.0 out of 10
SEGMENT FOUR: Fandango Debuts!
Holy fuck, Fandango's entrance is elaborate. And awesome. Oh and screw anyone who says otherwise – that Fandango and Khali segment from Smackdown was fucking hilarious. This segment wasn't as good, but I still enjoyed it. I'm not sure people give Fandango/Johnny Curtis the credit he deserves on the microphone as everything he delivers comes off as very natural and entertaining. For now, I'm enjoying Fandango's 'refusing to wrestle' gimmick but I do sort of hope he debuts in-ring sooner rather than later – the longer they delay it, the more I feel WWE will just have someone like Big Show squash him in 3 minutes.
6.5 out of 10
SEGMENT FIVE: Damien Sandow vs R-Truth
Match Result: R-Truth via count out
A pretty heatless match and almost nothing of note happened here, but the Sandow/Truth interaction before the match was fairly entertaining. Strange to see Sandow walking away from R-Truth so it seems they want this feud to continue. And not being cruel, but it doesn't interest me in the slightest.
6.0 out of 10
SEGMENT SIX: Undertaker Returns Again!
Very good segment here, not much happened in particular, but Punk's promo was very good and the way he chucked around the urn like he didn't give a fuck about it made him look like a total prick. And that's good. A simple segment (and I usually complain about simplicity) but very effective. Could definitely have done with more of a reaction from the Undertaker though as it seemed like this just ended very abruptly. I know they were going for the stunned silence for Punk being so disrespectful, and that's fine, I just thought it could of done with more though. I'm sure they'll build on this in the next few weeks though as this feud has started excellently so far.
7.5 out of 10
SEGMENT SEVEN: Primo and Epico vs Team Hell No
Match Result: Team Hell No via Chokeslam
Classic Ziggler (or associated acts) booking here. Distraction and the faces still win clean (although admittedly that's not happened for 2 or 3 weeks). Obviously no-one would expect Primo and Epico to win here but you still get my point. It basically made AJ coming out seem like a total waste of time – which it was.
4.5 out of 10
SEGMENT EIGHT: Cody Rhodes vs Alberto Del Rio
Match Result: Alberto Del Rio via Cross-Armbreaker
Funky remixed theme for Del Rio – I like it. Pretty dead match though, had some fun spots but for the most part nothing was happening and the crowd weren't making any noise at all. There was no chance at all of Cody getting a win here either so it all felt like filler until Swagger came out. The brawl was pretty decent but the dead crowd kind of killed it. Oh, and the racist/confused fans chanting 'USA' is not a good sign for this feud. I was enjoying the Del Rio/Swagger feud but it does seem like its losing its way somewhat.
6.0 out of 10
SEGMENT NINE: Sheamus and Randy Orton vs 3MB
Match Result: Sheamus and Randy Orton via RKO
Sheamus and Orton's tour of formula continue here. Pretty much the same as always, same finish as the last two matches. Just killing time until the Shield attack. It does make sense here how the Shield backed down when Big Show hit the ring so that's fine, but it was nothing to particularly write home about. In fact, I expect the same angle to be done again on Smackdown. I'm also hoping that Big Show keeps his cocky, asshole personality for the next few weeks and doesn't revert back to his horrible face character almost immediately. No-one needs that.
5.0 out of 10
SEGMENT TEN: Dolph Ziggler vs Kofi Kingston
Match Result: Dolph Ziggler via Zig-Zag
It's hard to get excited about this match at all when Kofi is a massive afterthought and it's already been done to death. It's always a great display of counters and good wrestling but the crowd was totally dead for this one and it was pretty clear what the outcome was going to be. The post match antics were nothing special either – Team Hell No just came out and made the Wrestlemania tag title match. Which is fine, of course, and I'm sure it'll be a fun match at Wrestlemania, but it wasn't particularly exciting.
5.5 out of 10
SEGMENT ELEVEN: Intercontinental Title Match: The Miz vs Wade Barrett vs Chris Jericho
Match Result: Wade Barrett via rollup
A pretty good main event for a fairly mediocre show. Started out as a standard formula triple threat which didn't give me much hope but it really built to a good finish with Barrett stealing the win on Miz. Even managed to get this shit crowd into it. Gotta imagine we're heading towards that Miz vs Barrett singles match but, honestly, I was quite hyped for this match mainly because it was anybody's to win - I wouldn't have been surprised if Jericho had walked away with it tonight. That's why this match outshone almost all the matches on the show tonight as every other match had a very obvious winner and almost no intrigue. This was the only bout tonight with any sort of intrigue and that definitely showed.
7.0 out of 10
SEGMENT TWELVE: Triple H and Lesnar Contract Signing
I can see what WWE were trying to do here with the Heyman mockery and the Triple H beatdown of him, but it came off weirdly because the crowd weren't reacting to a single thing that Heyman said and sat in silence whilst Triple H beat on him. It just seemed odd and I didn't really enjoy it. Things picked up a little when Lesnar came out in terms of interest though. I don't totally agree with the stipulation though. No Holds Barred will make for a very entertaining match, but the career on the line stipulation is totally unnecessary. I can't see Triple H being retired by Lesnar at all so that throws a lot of intrigue out of the window straight away. Also factor in how Triple H barely even has 2 or 3 matches a year now so it wouldn't really be a big deal if he lost his career anyway. It'd be the same if Lesnar's career was on the line – it's not really much of a 'career' at all at this point. Maybe that's just nitpicky but it just seems unneeded. No Holds Barred should be great though.
6.5 out of 10
Segment of the Night:
Undertaker and Punk Confrontation
Trash Segment of the Night:
Team Hell No vs Primo and Epico
Final Analysis:
Not a particularly good episode of Raw. For the most part the matches felt like all filler, the crowd were mainly dead and it was a struggle to get hyped for most of the show. There were some highlights of course but they were in the shadow of too much filler. Overall, it just didn't feel like a show that's 3 weeks before Wrestlemania, and that's not good at all.

Decorated with old hunting weapons, this cosy mid-market restaurant offers Talysh cuisine that goes well beyond the predictable nut-stuffed ləvəngi dishes.
Decorated with old hunting weapons, this cosy mid-market restaurant offers Talysh cuisine that goes well beyond the predictable nut-stuffed ləvəngi dishes.
The garden area is superbly located for summer dining in the shadow of the Maiden's Tower while the sleekly modernised caravanserai-covered courtyard interior is a tempting choice on colder nights. The mostly European main dishes aren't especially memorable but mezze starters are excellent and drinks arrive with complimentary cheese and olives.
Ivy-draped carts in overgrown patches of woodland create a delightfully rustic garden atmosphere that's incongruous for the suburban setting. However the only menu is on its website and the many extras can be extremely pricey (plate of fruit AZN20!); plus the only drinking water served is imported.
A quantum leap in style, this suave choice makes wonderfully eclectic use of homemade pottery to give the fashionable interior a real sense of personality. Food is excellent but with prices to match. The cheapest bottle of wine costs a thumping AZN35, plus 10% service charge.
The upstairs dining room has a wild-west wooden décor and live piano music. Ground-floor wooden booths emulate the streamside ambience of Azeri rural dining. The menu stretches from local standards to ostrich steaks. Wines from AZN6 a bottle.
Calm, bright and run by women for women, this narrow little café-resto has décor based around the owner's modest porcelain collection. Food is Russo-Azeri with an AZN10 salad buffet on Sundays.
Calm and remarkably suave, with soaring high ceiling vaults yet very modestly priced and with a menu in English. The 'black pearls' (stuffed prunes; AZN2) are particularly delicious.
This friendly and refreshingly unpretentious, locals-only place serves simple meals in an ancient stone cavern that's photogenic but prone to overheating.
The very functional Kavkasioni , where the double-decker Megruli khachapuri (Georgian cheese pie) is superb.
Yeni Bakı is less off-putting for women.
Qoç is typical and opens all hours.
Great value.

It is nearly impossible to watch television or access the Internet without seeing at least one advertisement from an ever-growing number of nationwide online education providers. These commercials and ads are well done; they feature the reasons why so many adults choose to pursue an education online. The ads highlight students' busy lives, work and family responsibilities, and desire to advance or start a new career. The reasons for taking online courses are the same for almost every adult online student, regardless of what college they select.
It is important to point out that these national online education providers are not the only online options available to you. For most colleges, online education is continuing to become an essential part of day-to-day operations. For Lincoln Land Community College, this has been true for nearly 17 years. We are not new to the field of online education. LLCC has been providing quality online courses since our first online course was offered during the fall semester of 1997. Since then, LLCC has had over 55,000 online enrollments and continues to grow the online program each year.
In addition to LLCC's strong history of offering quality online education, the college has been specifically accredited to offer online courses and approved to offer 24 degrees and 18 certificates of completion in an online environment. New online courses are added to our schedule regularly to continue to provide our students with even more online learning opportunities.
Your online courses at LLCC transfer to other colleges and universities just as traditional LLCC courses do. Besides ease of course transfer, online courses at LLCC are significantly more affordable than many other online course options offered by more expensive institutions.
In addition to our accreditation, affordability, and transferability, another significant advantage of taking online courses from LLCC is the local connection to you and your community.

Giving Tree still needs giving hearts
Published on Wed, Dec 2, 2009 by
Tara Nelson
Read More
Stafholt Good Samaritan Center's annual Giving Tree program is still in need of donors to provide gifts to children of low-income families.
Program coordinator Marsha Hawkins said although they have collected about 350 tags amounting to 2,290 gifts for children, there are 348 tags remaining. The deadline for the program has passed but contributions are still needed.
"We don't want to turn anyone away," Hawkins said.
The program accepts applications for families with children under 18 to receive up to three gifts per child. Hawkins suggests one toy and two articles of clothing kept under $30.
Hawkins said donors are also able to donate cash or sponsor an entire family if they wish. Gift tags are available at Stafholt, WECU, ACE Hardware, Cost Cutter, Pacific Building Center, Blaine Library, The Market at Birch Bay Square.
Donations of cash, new toys or clothes can be mailed or dropped off at the Good Samaritan Society/ Stafholt Center at 456 C Street. For more information, call Marsha Hawkins or Natasha Bowman at 332-8733.

Wal-Mart makes big bet on China
The retail giant's investment in Chinese e-commerce company Yihaodian is a hint of more to come.
The world's largest retailer announced Monday it is buying a controlling stake in the Chinese online shopping company Yihaodian to further solidify its position in the world's most populous country. Two weeks ago, Wal-Mart appointed Greg Foran to run its China operations as it overhauls the business after a series of scandals, including "a pork mislabeling issue last year that forced it to temporarily shut a dozen stores in central China," according to Reuters.
Shares of Wal-Mart have surged about 20% in the past six months as investors have figured that the retailer will benefit from an economic rebound in the U.S. The company, which reports quarterly results Tuesday, may find that its potential for growth is greater outside the U.S. China's economy is expected to grow at 8.4% this year, which is slower than earlier forecasts but roughly four times what economists expect from the U.S. This trend has been evident in Wal-Mart's recent quarterly results.
Wal-Mart U.S. sales in the nine months ended October 2011 rose 1.2% to $191.4 billion, while international sales rose 16.1% to $90.4 billion, fueled in part by China's growing middle class. Wal-Mart's U.S. same-store sales rose 1.3% in the third quarter, beating the company's forecasts and analysts' expectations. These results represented an improvement -- when Bill Simon was named the head of Wal-Mart's U.S. operations in 2010, the retailer had seen four straight declines in same-store sales.
For its fourth quarter, ended Jan. 28, 2012, Wal-Mart expects U.S. comparable-store sales will have increased from flat to 2%. That's why China remains so critical.
Jonathan Berr owns no shares in the companies listed here.
yet another reeason not to shop at Wal mart.
My wife and I have been looking for a new sectional couch, I never knew how hard it was to find a quality sectional that WASNT made in china. We ended up purchasing a FlexSteel which is made I believe in Wisconsin, all american made, very solid, very good rep, it cost quite a bit more but at least I dont have to worry about my children laying on cushions that have asbestos in them like all the crap that comes from china...wake up america

Hayward is playing really well, and so is Favors.
Hayward is playing really well, and so is Favors.
F*** these refs. Ticky tacky fouls that aren't being called on Orlando but are being called on us just put us in the penalty early.
He brings Jefferson back in anyway
Jazz are passing up open looks for crap.
And here come Al and the starters back to take their negative lead back. It's ok though because Milsap broke out of a slump.
Ahh Burks playing so well but blew it big time missing think layup, momentum change and may be what cost us the game
Long Live JYD
Starters are all coming back in, so Orlando wins.
Well, it's a winnable game. Unfortunately, Vucevic played better than Kanter this quarter.
Here;s where Ty is stupid. Give Hayward and Favors just a 1-2 minute rest.
IF Hayward is allowed to Finish , it will be 18 minutes straight... too much.
Only reason Burks got a little sloppy. Give Burks 1-2 minutes rest and get him back in
I'd rather see Burks make mistakes than Foye do almost nothing.
Hey guys it´s not just Al´s fault that we are down again...
Why they call him Big Al ? think of it...
"In practice Im going against a big great player like Al," Kanter said. "So, whenever Im on the court with other big men its much easier."
No Kanter ,but more AL
Why does he take Favors out. best player on the court tonight

A too-brief, jargon-filled resume isn't helpful.
This post comes from Julie Rains at partner blog Wise Bread.
Many people are job hunting these days. I have worked with job seekers for many years and have found that these five common assumptions frequently derail a job search.
Being open to anything will increase my chances of landing a job. The search ought to have a focus: You should be targeting opportunities in a certain discipline or function; or you should identify the strengths you'd like to leverage and then uncover positions that match those strengths. The résumé should convey that focus; otherwise, you can't differentiate yourself from other candidates because you're not really great at anything but rather average at many things.
Welcome to the 'food-storage' movement.
A whole year's worth of food for one person for only $799.99? And that's after a $200 discount. Is this too good to be true, or should we order?
Well, there is one small catch. The offer is for 78 one-gallon cans of dehydrated and freeze-dried food, plus a wheat grinder. Now, that's an emergency fund you can eat.
Actually, the ad exposed us to a movement we weren't very familiar with.
Pens, vitamins and toothpaste are on his list.
We're all for dollar stores. They can provide savings, many people agree. At last count, 55% of about 423,000 people who have participated in an MSN Money online poll said they sometimes shop at dollar stores, and 36% said they frequently do. (Another 3% chose "I'd never set foot in one.")
But there are some products "rutgerskevin" of The Red Stapler Chronicles recommends you avoid, via his post called "The 10 dumbest things to buy at a dollar store." First on his list are home pregnancy tests.
Rocky could have used a good financial adviser.
This post comes from Jim Wang at partner blog Bargaineering.
Movies today can rely on special effects, monster marketing efforts, and a few pretty faces (*cough* "Transformers 2" *cough*). In the 1980s and early '90s, movies had to rely on the story and the acting to achieve success.
Out of that era, which coincided with my childhood, came a lot of classic movies that teach powerful lessons about how to deal with your money, how to approach your career, and how to find success in both.
- Bing: Top classic movies
I thought it would be fun to pick out five lessons from just five movies from that era (one of them is from 2000, but no fancy special effects there).
Student loans, debt, car payments -- the effects linger.
This post comes from partner blog The Dough Roller.
The best thing about being 40 is having survived your 20s and 30s. And at 40, I'm considered an old-timer in the personal-finance blogging community. Reflecting back on the past 20 years, I realize that I've learned a thing or two that I wish (oh, how I wish) I had known when I was 20.
Here they are, in no particular order:
Spendthrift wife kept two secret credit cards.
The headline on JW's post at We Need To Be Debt Free says it all: "What's the use?" He's been working hard to aggressively pay off about $41,000 in non-mortgage debt, and then his wife revealed at a marriage-counseling session that she's been hiding -- and using -- two credit cards.
"When she mentioned it, I felt completely broadsided. It was like being run over by a truck," he wrote. The damage to his debt-reduction plans? Just over $4,300.
Goodness knows they aren't the first couple to deal with this problem. What makes JW's posts on this subject and so many others so compelling is the detail he shares about his debt-reduction plan and how the sacrifices it requires has affected family life. For instance, his teenage kids have been unhappy and threatened to move out.
Mother of three has a few tricks to share.
Erin's annual budget for food, health and beauty items, and cleaning supplies for a family of four and two dogs is $800. That food category includes occasional dining out.
We read about her budget and blog, Jane4girls $800 Annual Budget, at Frugal Dad, and wondered, how can she do that? It seemed almost beyond belief. She has three daughters -- ages 18, 11 and 10.
- Bing: Find grocery coupons
We now know some of her secrets -- coupons matched with sales, stockpiling, gardening, ExtraCare bucks, Swag Bucks, and the list goes on -- and they are doable. She also earns gift cards or gets them through special promotions; she never buys them "as that would defeat the purpose," she says. That's a gift card strategy that even Liz Pulliam Weston could like.
Bad presents can have a snowball effect.
"Lazy Man" knows a grade-school kid named John who got a stuffed Garfield a couple years ago. Now John has 15 Garfield things in his bedroom. Lazy Man saw them and said, "I can't believe I didn't know you liked Garfield this much." John replied, "I don't."
Someone saw that stuffed Garfield in John's room and assumed he loves all things Garfield, and it escalated from there. This little story at Lazy Man and Money explains how people accumulate huge collections of frog, owl or strawberry figurines, posters, pendants or whatever and they really don't want them.
What's the worst gift you've been given? Lazy Man describes five categories of gifts he wishes he hadn't received. As Shadox said at Money and Such, "You know what? It is not only the thought that counts, people."

Rated 3.7 out of 5 by 483 reviewers.
Rated 1 out of 5 by Chill69 The staff was really nice My experience with this hotel was not good. I had to change rooms 3 times because the first room was not clean very dusty and hair on the sheets. Second room part of the ceiling in the bathroom fell out above tub, they fixed it then the next morning water began to run from the hole. We used valet and they parked our truck in the bushes which caused some deep scratches. So my experience was not good but the staff was very friendly and helpful. August 4, 2014

Rated 2 out of 5 by Daddy26 Very disappointed Took the desk 3 attempts to get us in the correct room type we reserved. The floor in the bathroom had long black hair all over it and in the shower. The carpet had not been swept and the dust was terrible. Left notes regarding the above. The room was dusted but the floors remained the same. There was also long black hair in the bed. Disgusting! The refrigerator would wake us up during the night making horrible noise therefore we kept it unplugged. The only reason I would recommend this hotel is because of the waterside. Parking was not convenient and only one family restaurant close by. July 23, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by DVC75 WILL NOT STAY HERE EVER AGAIN Hotel jacked up my rates and refuses to change it. They act like they don't understand what happened. Can't even get anyone to call me back. I booked under one rate. They emailed the receipt and it was a different rate. Called 5 times. Talked to the billing person twice who claimed she couldn't figure it out and would have a manager call. Never happened. Done with overpriced Sheraton Hotels. August 5, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by pbwhi My review of Norfolk Sheraton The view from my window was the first thing that impressed me. I took pictures of it to send to my friends and family. The room was clean and comfortable. The food was excellent. The staff were MOST accommodating, particularly Doris and her supervisor. I appreciate their prompt, friendly and courteous service. The only negative thing about my stay was that the hotel is difficult to get to if you are not familiar with the area. March 5, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Steak Comfort and great food The hotel is in a great location and the beds are very comfortable. Also, the food at the restaurant was outstanding. August 7, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by lucy228 Horrible Stay I have stayed in 'Dives" that had friendlier staff, we were treated with rudeness and like being an SPG member was not of any significance, our room was not cleaned, we had to call for towels every night- one night the towels were delivered by a man on his knees- "I have a bad back" who was out of breath- we were only on the 3rd floor and didn't he use an elevator? The valet staff basically ignored us upon arrival and anytime we needed help it was like pulling teeth. The internet was non-existent slow when it was available. The tv would shut of randomly after turning it on. I would never recommend this hotel to anyone. May 21, 2013

Rated 5 out of 5 by teresa60 This hotel is very accommodating and has great features When looking for a hotel, I always look for the ratings first and then from there my needs. I need a hotel that is first clean and with a comfortable bed. Sheraton was that. The bed, I wish I could have taken home with me. Not only did the bed when first walking into the room look tempting, but it was definitely comfortable as well. August 4, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Abbd Excellent customer service Great time with my family at this hotel. Excellent customer service from the ladies at the front desk/ladies at the restaurant. Made our stay pleasurable. Rooms were clean and neat. Keep up the good customer service! January 1, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Tank79 Awesome room excellent stay My wife and I stayed here a few months ago and it was awesome. All the staff was extremely helpful from the doormen to the severs on the club lounge. The views are beautiful on both the city side and the harbor side. The hotel is near several fine eateries including some local restaurants and some other well known high class establishments. This is by far one of the greatest rooms I have ever stayed in, the atmosphere and surroundings are just awesome. I would definitely recommend that anyone stay here. My wife and i make every effort to get here and stay throughout the year. We love it and you will too!!! October 19, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Jane617 Sheraton is a wonderful place to stay! Iwe enjoyed our stay at the Sheraton! The balcony view was nice and the bed/bedding was so comfortable! We ate at the Sunday breakfast buffet and the food was awesome! From the minute we checked in and until we checked out....the staff was friendly with a happy attitude. We walked to the Norfolk Jazz Festival and walked back to the room! August 2, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Julyconference Very happy with our stay Beautiful room on the 9th floor with a harbor view. Spacious, clean, tastefully decorated. Only complaint was that the ahower drained slowly so we stood in our own backwash while trying to get clean. Everything else was GREAT! Wish they had a hot tub. August 3, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by sugarplum13 Great staff. Great friendly, service oriented staff. Everyone I came into contact with was friendly and service was great. Breakfast buffet great. I ordered a pizza…did not meet my expectation and expensive. Food in restaurant seemed expensive to me. But, that may be average to others. Talked to the manager on duty to tell him what a great staff, from room service to parking..all! Everyone worked great as a team. I talked to tim Peters…very nice and sincere. Hard to find people in service industry who have such a great attitude. To me that is a sign of good managers!!! My bed was not comfortable. That may be just my preference. Nice spacious rooms, lobby and event facilities. Lovely decor in hotel. December 16, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by JT5771 Sheraton Norfolk Waterside Hotel Very friendly staff at front desk and they tried to accommodate us as best as possible. Problem we had after going out and returning we noticed the bathroom had not been linen on bed not changed. Shift manager was notified and stated they would speak with housekeeping. After returning next day we noticed same problems. Notification made. On 3rd day we returned and not cleaning of bathroom or changing of linen still. We spoke with Manager at front desk and she gave us SPG points for our problems and comp breakfast buffet tickets. Breakfast staff very friendly, but sausage was over cooked and bacon slightly burned also. Everything else was good, excellent omelet station and chef. We were also not charged for valet parking due to issues we had. July 22, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by virginiaduck Not bad for the price We received a low group rate for this room so take that into account on this review. With $8 self parking being so far away we opted to pay $22 for valet and it was well worth it. The valets were the highlight of our trip, and, with us coming and going a couple times each day, the price wasn't bad. The rooms were small but clean and everything worked in the room. The linens were very nice. Construction is going on outside the street side of the hotel but the noise wasn't bad. There are harbor view rooms but no balconies so why bother? Except for the valets, service was spotty. Check-in was handled by an aloof and unfriendly man. We had to have our key reset and he did it without speaking. Next day's clerk was friendlier, when we had to have the key reset again. Breakfast at the restaurant was bad. Food was bad, poorly cooked, service was bad, atmosphere was bad. Seems like a place just hanging on - getting ready to close down - which is unfortunate because the location and view is great. Enjoyed the seating areas in the lobby, which included a good number of computer stations. Location is very good if you need to be downtown Norfolk. It was cold and windy while we were there but its harbor side and so would make for a nice place to walk in good weather. February 27, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by 4NightsNjuly Had Big Fun at the Sheraton Waterside Nice and clean facility, quiet comfortable sleep. Convenient walks to Mall and other tour sites. The in-house restaurant was great. Other than the shortage of hand towels and the lack of a refrigerator in the room being a standard feature, I had no complaints. The location and waterfront views made up for some of the hotel's lack. Add the frige and complimentary breakfast and this would rank "excellent" July 29, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 Disappointed for a Sheraton Brand hotel I've stayed at several Sheratons before and was expecting to see a beautiful hotel since the location was amazing, but I was definitely disappointed. We arrived around 10pm in our room to find a dehumidifier running. We were switched rooms and found that room with wet carpet. Switched to another room before settling in. By the third room we were exhausted and just wanted to shower and sleep. The room was ok and comfortable enough but did not have coffee available, bathroom door hook was broken and one of the bath towels had some small stains. The front desk offered us complimentary breakfasts for the inconveniences and was very nice. Just seemed very disorganized and unaware of issues with rooms. August 14, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by PBurton Surrounding area: problem The hotel was acceptable, and I received an upgraded room. Toilet had stains in it. Due to rain, we had water leaking into the main room from the window. The surrounding area needs work, with most stores near the hotel closed or shut down. Sheraton advertised the great area for shopping and activities, but it was a dead area on the 4th of July weekend. The main problem was homeless people in the hotel vicinity pandering for money. Homeless wanderers hanging around the hotel valet/check-in area as well. We walked to the adjacent MacArthur Center Mall that you advertise, and were accosted by 3 strangers for money. My family did not feel safe in the area and we will not return. July 6, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by DiscerningTraveller Sheraton Norfolk VA Well I read the reviews and I was a bit apprehensive about what I was letting myself in for. But no need - the experience was excellent. I stayed for 4 nights and it was excellent. All the staff were attentive and helpful. The gym was totally adequate, and the bedroom very comfortable. The breakfast chefs were great - catering for my dietary restrictions - I know it's a little thing but it's these little things that make all the difference. Location was ideal for restaurants, the pier, the Wisconsin and the Nauticus centre. I was really lucky, experiencing a couple of days of great sunny weather in March, and the view from my balcony window over the water was really great. A big well done to the staff and especially Fletcher! March 16, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by dont11 Not for publication I am writing this for your records, not for publication. We enjoyed our stay at the hotel, the location and hotel were very nice. My problem was with the noise level in room 572. Not noise level from other guests or harbor noise, but rather mechanical noise from the room itself. There was a constant motor noise, louder than normal air conditioning noise. This noise was not the concern because I need white noise to sleep so I got used to this sound and was able to sleep through this sound. But around 1:30 in the morning, there was constant clanging/banging noises coming from the panel below the thermostat. They would start and continue for approximately 15 minutes and then start again, constantly keeping me awake. I layed in bed contemplating calling the front desk, but didn't want to change rooms or have someone coming up to the room at 1:30 in the morning and we were only staying one night. I am just pointing it out so you can have someone take a look before the next guest stays. July 29, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by LCW56 Great Location The location is perfect. We parked our car and walked everywhere. The entire staff was very helpful and courteous. July 30, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by Emmy65 Our stay The staff where not as nice as thay could have been really short with us! Asked if it would be okay when we checked out if we could go swimming for a bit and we where laughed at by the girl behind the desk,as she said only if you pay for another night!? And also called the front deck to get a pizza place number and was hung up on! The only one that was nice to us where the valet parking guy! I don't no his name but he was really nice! You have to pay for wifi? I can go to McDonald's and get free wifi.....but paying $100+ for a hotel room I have to pay $10 a day for wifi I don't get it! Also the AC in out room would not work and word only push out hot air! And you also have to pay for parking!! Not the nicest place to relax June 16, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Rick911 An Excellent Stay I stay at the Sheraton when I visit my daughter who goes to ODU. On my travel day to the Sheraton I ate Something that disagreed with me and caused a lot of stomach pain. The next morning I went to the front desk and explained my situation to Katelyn McMahon, the front desk manager. She quickly helped me with changing rooms and also got me a large glass of ginger ale for my stomach. I did not ask for this as she did this on her own. She was really concerned with my issue. I have stayed in four and five stars hotels before and seldom received such personal attention. Also Shawn in the Club Lounge went out of his way to also assist me and my family. As long as the Sheraton has employee's like this, they will be a success and a place where I will always stay. July 16, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by Rlynmitch Overpaid for average accomodations Small club room, furniture needs to be replaced in bed rooms. Only towels was replaced, beds not made daily by housekeeper. Club room food unacceptable. Kids running down the halls all night. You pay for location here. July 28, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by BigBigJim Service Needs Improvement I made a reservation 10 months ago to attend a family function and when I arrived they gave my room to someone else. They were able to correct the problem but it took over an hour for me to check in. then for my entire stay I had diffucult time getting services becase frontdesk did not set up my CC correctly. There were an experiences that were not so pleasant dealing with night bartender. There was a manager hitting on the person cleanning the room. I found his comments unacceptable. Besides those items the staff was very good. July 14, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by Taywings55 Frustrated SPG Member I'm an SPG member as well as an American Express SPG card carrier. I also am a pilot for an airline which has a contract with this particular hotel for our overnights. At this point I'm very frustrated about the blatant lack of communication from the hotel staff after my stay regarding a piece of luggage left behind. I've tried for 5 days since my stay to contact ANYONE who could help regain my belongings to no avail. Every time I call I'm forwarded to a "lost and found" department which never answers the phone nor returns my call after leaving voice messages. I then was told by a desk agent that she would personally look into and call back within the hour. I called the next day to follow up after not receiving any call back only to be forwarded yet again to a seemingly non-existent lost and found personnel department. I called back immediately and asked to speak with a manager and was told she was "on the floor" and would call me back in a few minutes. The desk agent was the one from the previous day who "took down my info" as she stated she "had my info already and would pass it along". It's been 5 hours and absolutely no follow up from anyone. I'm fed up with this property and will be following up with our hotel committee for the airline as well as the BBB next. It's disheartening to know that such a simple phone call and some minor coordination to return my items could be so challenging. Especially for a loyal spg member. July 29, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Zuri3 I recommend hotel for a Norfolk visit Hotel was site for our family reunion. Hotel very convenient whether for business or fun. Very nice location on river. Very satisfactory service from staff throughout stay. Banquet services were excellent. I found the mattress to be very hard. Unfortunately, the only telephone in my room was on the desk located across the room from the bed. I recommend this hotel for a stay in Norfolk. July 22, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by JaywiDee norfolk Food on the club level was terrible. Wouldn't eat there again. Internet is free on the club level but they charge you and then remove it from the bill at the end of the stay. very annoying. hallways are loud, you can hear everybody from inside the room.

How Does Microsoft Need to Do Vs. Apple?
Meena is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
It's a special time of the software cycle for Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT): new versions of Windows and Office are set to roll out, and while the company has survived disastrous Windows editions in the past it feels as if Windows 8 is particularly important in terms of establishing Windows as an operating system for tablets (as well as, of course, generating sales from the core PC user base). On top of that, Microsoft (possibly because it was frustrated with the slow pace of other hardware manufacturers) is introducing Surface, a tablet of its own that is conceptualized as being more for business use. For example, the signature keyboard cover is intended to appeal to professionals who even on the go will do more typing than playing Angry Birds.
Microsoft's most recent quarter, the first of its fiscal year, saw an 8% decline in revenue from a year ago, which might not be quite as bad as it appears since many potential customers may have put off making purchases until Windows 8 is released. Microsoft's costs grew- including costs of goods sold, even though sales had been down- and earnings per share for the quarter came in at $0.53, compared to $0.68 in the first quarter of the last fiscal year. Microsoft trades at only 10 times expected earnings for this year (and only 14 times an annualization of last quarter, which we've acknowledged may have been abnormally low). It looks to us like the market is pricing the stock fairly cheaply, as a standard run rate would provide higher earnings, and there should be a kick to net income over the course of the year.
Billionaire Ken Fisher's Fisher Asset Management is one of the major holders of Microsoft stock tracked in our database of 13F filings. The fund reported a position of about 18 million shares at the end of June (find more stocks owned by Fisher Asset Management). Renaissance Technologies, which was founded by now-billionaire Jim Simons, nearly doubled its stake during the second quarter to a total of about 16 million shares (see more stock picks from Renaissance Technologies).
Microsoft's closest competitors are Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) and Google (NASDAQ: GOOG). Read our latest analysis of Apple. Apple's share price has been dropping recently, so much so that it now trades at a trailing P/E of only 12. With Wall Street analysts expecting some degree of the company's recent growth rates- earnings last quarter were up over 20% from the same period in 2011- the five-year PEG ratio is 0.5 for what everyone acknowledges is a power player in tablets and smartphones. Microsoft may be cheap, but we think that Apple is an even better buy.
Google is probably a stock to hold off on for now, however; it hasn't been too successful at integrating Motorola Mobility Holdings, and earnings are down as that business remains unprofitable. Analyst expectations are that the company will improve in 2013, and it trades at 14 times consensus earnings, yet we think Microsoft and Apple look like better buys right now.
Oracle (NYSE: ORCL) and Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN) are also peers for Microsoft's business software and tablet offerings, respectively. Oracle looks like another potential value play, as it carries trailing and forward P/E multiples of 15 and 10, respectively, and has been getting moderate growth in net income. We think that we might take a closer look at that company.
Amazon, meanwhile, continues to trade at a valuation of about $100 billion, despite being barely profitable; even on a forward basis, its P/E is over 100, and those estimates incorporate assumptions of very strong growth. We think that stock is overvalued, and would consider shorting it against a long position in Apple or Microsoft.
Microsoft's new product launches are a risk, but based on its valuation the market seems to have low expectations for the business' performance over the next year. If the company looks like it can hit the Street's earnings target, that would probably make the stock a buy.

Kaitlyn Dobrow has been anxious to see her dogs and her home. Eight months ago Katie, as her family calls her, was diagnosed with bacterial meningitis. The disease spread through her limbs, cutting off the blood supply, eventually causing the orange county teen to lose her arms and legs.
Though it's exciting, being home is also strange. "It feels really different. Because when I was here I was a different person, and then when I left I'm a completely and total other person," said Katie.
The house Katie grew up in was gutted. A new bedroom went in on the first floor it's pink with a chandelier, just like 19 year old wanted.
Walls in the living room were torn down, to make bathrooms and doorways bigger for Katie's wheelchair and the family also spent $20,000 on a new van.
"That was bought with donated money. And the remodeling was done with donated money. People have been so amazing," said Kathi Dobrow, Katie's mom.
"There is so much love in the hearts of people out there and it's manifested in this situation, like you would not believe. She's actually had prayers coming in from all over the world," said Don Dobrow, Katie's dad.
Katie's gotten stronger with therapy and is gaining independence. "I can eat on my own, I can do my makeup on my own, I can take a shower," Katie told FOX 11.
While Katie suffered because she lost her limbs, what this family gained was a new outlook on life.
"Life is precious. We knew that, but the fact that we almost lost her just drives it home for us," said Kathi.
"You have to fight through it and tell yourself this isn't the end," said Katie.
For Katie the next step is getting prosthetics, but the family still needs financial help to pay for the more advanced prosthetics. Then Katie says she plans to go back to school and get a job.

Opera Institute
Program Description
The Program
When students arrive for the first day of Opera Institute at American University, they audition for the entire faculty. Each student then is assigned an art song and opera scene to be studied, memorized, and performed during the course of the three weeks. Daily coaching sessions, individual voice or piano lessons, and various classes help the students prepare these pieces and grow as performers. A taste of "real life" as an opera singer is savored in master classes and seminars with professionals in the business. Past presenters include Harolyn Blackwell, Denyce Graves, and Richard Stilwell, and topics covered include vocal health, breath support, and audition preparation.
The Performances
Performance opportunities are major elements of this program and critical to the learning process. Students receive priceless advice on how to become confident, communicative performers. The Opera Institute provides three performance opportunities: the Italian Art Song recital at the end of the second week; the Opera Scenes recital at the end of the program; and performance on the Kennedy Center Millennium Stage by selected students.
At the 2014 Institute, singers will be able to compete in the Schmidt Youth Vocal Competition held at American University on Saturday, June 21. Students have the opportunity to perform, receive feedback, and win cash prizes. Past adjudicators and clinicians include Sherrill Milnes, Cynthia Lawrence, and Nicholas Muni. The Schmidt Youth Vocal Competition is sponsored by the William E. Schmidt Foundation; for more information, please visit www.schmidtcompetition.org.

The Classes
Over all, students can expect a curriculum and assignments that are creative and challenging, including readings, research papers, and daily homework assignments.
Opera History
Students explore historical periods of opera and various composers from each era, beginning with Baroque Opera and continuing through present-day examples. They explore different genres of opera, learn opera terminology and performance tradition, and participate in an in-depth study of style and language through library research on selected arias and operas. Class preparation culminates in attendance at a performance of a professional opera production.
Acting Class
This exciting and fast-paced class quickly reviews the technical fundamentals of being on stage, which students add to their knowledge base and apply to their experience as singing actors in an opera, operetta, or musical theater. For example, this class gives students both the theory and practice of exploring techniques used to depict emotions in a standard opera scene.
Italian Diction
This class is designed to help students understand basic Italian pronunciation; learn the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) rules; distinguish between clear and unclear Italian diction, as demonstrated by current performing artists; and prepare for their Italian Art Song Recital.
Ear Training and Sight Singing
An introduction to the fundamentals of music theory, this class studies rhythm and key signatures, challenging students to learn the basics of analysis, practice sight reading, and develop their ears through interval training.
Voice Lesson
A major goal of the Opera Institute is to encourage proper vocal health and management. Each student receives a private voice lesson each week. These lessons focus on continuation of vocal development: breath management, intonation, and musicianship, based upon the need of each student. Students are given repertoire appropriate to their level of singing, based upon faculty recommendation. They work on their pieces pedagogically in their lessons.
Other classes and workshops include Movement, Chorus, Vocal Health, Resumé-Writing, and more.

Harley marks 110th birthday with blowout party
The iconic motorcycle maker, whose fortunes have improved in recent years, throws a Labor Day weekend event for its fans.
For fans of Harley-Davidson (HOG), this Labor Day holiday weekend could be a dream come true. As part of its 110th anniversary celebrations, the motorcycle maker is throwing a party in its hometown of Milwaukee, Wis.
About 100,000 people are expected to attend the event, which will feature top-line bands, tours at the Harley-Davidson museum, motorcycle demonstrations and other festivities.
Harley is also one of America's most iconic brands -- with a financial history, especially in recent years, that analysts say has reflected much of the national economy's ups and downs.
Of course, sales in this industry can be -- pardon the pun -- cyclical.
The Motorcycle Industry Council reported 2012 retail sales for the sector's 19 top manufacturers increased 2.6% for the year. It was also the first time all four segments of the motorcycle industry -- scooter, dual, on-highway and off-highway -- reported increases in year-over-year unit sales.
But another recent council report, quoted by Motorcycle USA, says overall sales for the first quarter of this year were down nearly 15% compared with 2012. Weather was cited by both Harley and its nearest U.S. rival, Polaris Industries (PII), for their first-quarter sales downturns.
And Polaris, while having just a fraction of the high-priced, heavy motorcycle market dominated by Harley, isn't backing down. The company unveiled three new versions of its Indian motorcycle earlier this month at the annual rally in Sturgis, S.D.
But so far, nothing appears to be raining on Harley's birthday celebrations. The event has also been good for local businesses in metro Milwaukee -- especially Harley dealerships.
Todd Berlin, sales manager at Suburban Harley-Davidson in Thiensville, Wis., tells the Journal Sentinel that motorcyclists from nearly all 50 states have stopped by -- as well as bikers from Australia, Russia, Chile and Italy. And what's more, according to Berlin, the dealership also sold out its initial shipment of 2014 touring bikes.

Welcome to my new series Red, White and BOX!
Let's throw this up front, box lacrosse is Canada's game and I'm not going to deny that. Whether you want to call us renegades, wanna-be's, or noobs, we don't care, there is a small, but solid, core group of Americans who have experienced box lacrosse in one way or another and this is where we can band together to share information and successes of box lacrosse entities in the United States.
