So you've preordered your new iPhone 6. Now you're going to need to ensure it stays pristine
Facebook tops one billion users
Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg says the social networking site now has more than one billion active users (AP)
Facebook has topped one billion users but the past few months have not been easy, its founder had admitted.
CEO Mark Zuckerberg says the company is going through a bit of a "rough cycle" after its rocky initial public offering in May.
Mr Zuckerberg also updated his Facebook status to announce that the social networking site has more than one billion active users each month.
The company has had a difficult time. There were trading glitches the day it went public and concerns about its revenue potential. It is also facing lawsuits from disgruntled shareholders.
Mr Zuckerberg said in an NBC interview that "we're in a tough cycle now and that doesn't help morale, but people are focused on what they're building".
The 28-year-old also continued to insist that he is the right person to lead Facebook. Some on Wall Street have questioned whether he has the ability to lead a large public company.
"I take this responsibility very seriously," he said.
Last month, Mr Zuckerberg gave his first interview since Facebook's shaky IPO and he has been trying to boost confidence among investors and the public.
He says that Facebook's future is about mobile. The company has been criticised in the past for not capitalising on mobile quickly enough.
Facebook Inc's stock gained 45 US cents (27p), or 2.1%, to 22.28 US dollars (£13.78) in pre-market trading. The shares closed at 21.83 dollars (£13.50) on Wednesday, off 43% from its 38 dollars (£23.50) IPO price.

Boston Wine Expo 2000
Lustau Light Manzanilla Solera Reserva
"Papirusa" NV -- Light yellow color.
Very expressive, sharply defined aromas of nuts and a slight hint of
the ocean. Very light in the mouth and absolutely dry, with walnuts,
hay, and a slightly salty aftertaste. It apears that the wine could
use a little more acidity, but this was served too warm and the
acidity may be more apparent at cooler temperatures.
Lustau Puerto Fino NV -- Slightly darker yellow than the Manzanilla, but
still quite light and bone dry. The nose is shy at first,
particularly in comparison to the Manzanilla, but later perks up with
some nutty and herbal notes. Tangy in the mouth, with some citrus
flavors and a hint of dustiness added to the nuts. A long finish
with good acidity firming up the walnut and lemon flavors.
Lustau Dry Amontillado "San Bartholome"
NV -- This is part of the "Grand
Reserva Series." Copper colored, with a smooth nose of walnuts,
caramel and coffee. Much rounder thant the Fino or Manzanilla, with
generous coffee and walnut flavors layered on top of a little citrus
fruit. Long, satisfying finish, with more of the same flavors.
Lustau Dry Amontillado Solera Reserva "Los
Arcos" NV -- Light copper color.
Unyielding nose, with only alcohol coming through. Not much on the
palate, either. Even though this is labeled "dry," it seems very
slightly sweet, with some nutty flavors, and a little fruit on the
finish. I've had this wine several times before, and it has always
shown much better. A bad bottle?
Lustau Florido Amontillado (Almacenista)
NV -- Light copper color, with a bit of
a haze. Incisive aromas, with piercing notes of walnut and smooth
roasted coffee. Light and elegant in the mouth, but deceptively
powerful, with more nut and coffee flavors leading to a long,
satisfying finish.
Lustau Palo Cortado Solera Reserva
"Peninsula" NV -- Clear, bright copper
color. Coffee, nut and toast aromas spring up out of the glass. The
nose hints at a slight sweetness, and seems rounder and less sharp
than the wines listed above. Full and rich flavors of coffee, toffee
and even a hint of primary fruit. Finishes well, but with less
acidity than I might have expected.
Lustau Oloroso "Emperatriz Eugenia"
NV -- Dark copper color, verging on
brown. Sweet toffee aroma, with a small whiff of ethyl acetate. Any
minor misgivings about the volatile nose disappear when you taste
this wine, though. Luxuriously smooth and rich mouthfeel, with
intense nut, toffee and coffee flavors. The underlying acidity comes
out on the finish, keeping everything in line.
Lustau East India Solera Reserva
NV -- This is a Cream Sherry, made with
28% Pedro Ximinez for sweetness. This wine has a dark brownish
color, with aromas of toffee, cocoa, nuts and coffee. Definitely
sweet, with flavors of raisins added to the toffee, coffee and nuts.
Very long, intense aftertaste of more raisins, coffee and nuts. Not
as oxidized as I might have expected, very powerful and
well-balanced. One of the world's greatest values in sweet fortified
Lustau Muscat Superior Solera Reserva
"Emilin" NV -- A rich, thick unctuous
wine. You can't drink too much of this at one time, as it's just too
powerful and syrupy. However, a little makes a great dessert. Dark
brown color. Great aromas, mixing the Sherry aromas of toffee,
coffee and toast with the floral orange-blossom notes of Muscat and a
bit of spice-cake. Very thick and sweet in the mouth. Intense
caramel, toffee, spice and orange peel flavors lead to a long, rich
finish. Just barely enough acidity to keep from being cloying.
Another great value in sweet fortified wine.

The AJC reported this yesterday, but here is an official announcement from the Board of Regents, chancellor and governor:
Today's announcement by University of Georgia President Michael Adams that he will step down on June 30, 2013, will mark the conclusion of 16 years leading one of the nation's top public universities. In response to Adams' announcement, Governor Nathan Deal, Board of Regents Chairman Benjamin Tarbutton III and University System of Georgia Chancellor Hank Huckaby each made a statement.
Governor Nathan Deal said, "President Michael Adams has dedicated his most productive years to our University System's flagship institution, the University of Georgia. He will leave behind a tremendous legacy, and his tenure will have long-lasting positive effects. Under his leadership, the University of Georgia has grown in size and in stature. These changes are manifested in the tremendous physical improvements to the school, particularly the development of East Campus and the beautification of South Campus, and by the soaring rankings of the University of Georgia. President Adams led the university to new levels of excellence and prestige. I congratulate him on his many successes and wish him the best in his final year as president of UGA."
Tarbutton said, "Dr. Adams has transformed UGA during his years as president. Once I was named to the Board of Regents, I began to see first hand how his sure hand and sound leadership was creating a world-class research university. Students who attend UGA today enjoy an outstanding academic environment, state-of-the-art facilities and resources, and some of the best faculty in the nation, thanks to his leadership. Speaking for the Board of Regents, Dr. Adams' leadership is both deeply appreciated and will be sorely missed once he steps down."
Huckaby noted that he had observed President Adams in his work both outside and inside UGA. "I have seen Dr. Adams dedicated work on behalf of UGA throughout his tenure. I was fortunate to work in his administration and witnessed first hand his efforts to make the University a nationally recognized institution, respected for its teaching, its research and its public service. Georgia has been extremely fortunate to have brought Dr. Adams to UGA and his record is one that has put the University in a much stronger position than before he arrived. We thank him for his service and his leadership."

I suspect that the next President will be more focused on athletics and less on academics. That will please the majority of the alumni and the contributors with deep pockets.

In leadership, one thing is for certain…you can't please everybody!!
May 3rd, 2012

I suspect that the next President will be 50 or under and briskly committed to cutting the budget wherever possible… getting rid of longtime University power-brokers, low enrolled departments and programs, and inefficient offices. Individual colleges may well be restructured for greater savings. He/she will likely be a hatchet-man/woman, in other words.
It's probably not going to be a pleasant time for the faculty, whoever is chosen. I know that many have been fairly disenchanted with President Adams, but they may look back to his term with nostalgia.

UGA has become impossible to attend for most Georgia students. $4000.00 per semester just for tuition? Are you kidding me? No wonder HOPE is running dry. Many of these "professors" are FAR overpaid.
May 3rd, 2012
1:34 pm
…UGA's tuition is not any more or less than other "state" universities – it is how the money is spent that needs tweaking…
May 3rd, 2012

…UGA's in-state tuition costs are about the same as AL, UF, Clemson, SC, Auburn, Ohio State, UNC, and less than UVA…it's the way the money is spent that needs tweaking…

1:50 pm
@ Inman Park Boy, 1:25 pm: "…Many of these "professors" are FAR overpaid."
If so, they were "overpaid" 4 going on 5 years ago, for none of the USG professors have had a raise since 2008 and won't next year either.
May 3rd, 2012
2:08 pm
UGA has improved as much as it has during Adams' tenure despite, not because of his "leadership". Many of our state's brightest now choose to stay in state because it is essentially free to get an education from a top 20 public school, not because we spent $46 million on a "Special Collections Library". Adams accepted raises while members of the faculty were losing their jobs (the latter couldn't have been avoided, more than can be said for the former), created a toxic relationship between the University and its foundation (requiring an entirely new entity to be created in its stead, a waste of time and resources) and alienated quite a few influential alumni. Also before some Techie hater gets on here and points it out, we realize that a 300% increase over 10 years is actually a 14.9% increase per year.
May 3rd, 2012

The Regents need to hire someone who understands the insignificance of athletics and football in the real academic world.

You're not only a smart but also a wise person.
By the way, folks in GAPubED outside UGA should look for "a night of the long knives" as well. Spending the multi-billions that we do on GAPubEd has resulted in misallocations of resources. Finding people able and willing to identify these misallocations and combining these experts with politicos and EdAdmins who possess the courage to excise these misallocations will be a herculean task.

Don't worry about M Adams,however. He will land in a cushy job that only requires him to teach one class every few years at $100,000 plus in one of the University's "Institutes." His predecessors have!

@Prof, you are overpaid, and don't need a raise. Validate your value you add to students intellectually. Oh, you research, they never see you. One Professor can teach all students in one subject, no need for different sections with different professors at different times and days. You can videotape the lectures that Grad Assts do and put them online for students to view. Turn the lights off in the classrooms and close the doors. Overpaid is generous.
May 3rd, 2012
6:10 pm
"a 300% increase over 10 years is actually a 14.9% increase per year."
Sorry, I forgot the compounding. Yes that sounds a lot better, especially since general inflation has been nearly zero lately and very few people have been getting raises (except Adams, of course). So 15% per year is probably at least 5 times the inflation rate. How is that new student center? very nice.
May 3rd, 2012
6:20 pm
Agreed, mountain man. The point still stands.
May 3rd, 2012

Someone mentioned on another blog that Adams oversaw a billion dollars of new construction. Wonder where that money came from?

The worst thing UGA could do is hire a president who concerns themselves too much with the trials and tribulations of the football team. For far too many people, UGA is only about football (many of these did not actually attend UGA), and its reputation as a serious university suffers for it. UGA football gets more ink for arrests than titles, all one must do is look at the endowments at UNC and UVA to realize it isn't all about football.

@ FakeProf, May 3rd, 5:57 pm: " @Prof, you are overpaid, and don't need a raise. Validate your value you add to students intellectually. Oh, you research, they never see you.

What a ridiculous idea of what college classes are like. You've obviously never had first-hand contact with them.
You seem to be suggesting that all Universities can be online; that Graduate Assistants do anything more than assist in grading papers and tests; that there's no difference between beginning classes and graduate classes…. really weird post.

We need a president that understands a spread offense
May 7th, 2012
10:16 am
I hope the next person they hire will be a servant leader–one who is more concerned about faculty and students than self. In my opinion, Dr. Adams was a self-serving leader who was more concerned with what he was getting than what faculty and students were getting. Just look at his salary, his severance, and his retirement. He gets all that money when everyone else is suffering from his tuition increases. If that isn't self-serving what is?
May 7th, 2012
10:39 am
@ Dr. Clete Bulach.
My cynical thought about Adams' severance and retirement package was that possibly it was pay-out money for leaving.
New Chancellor, several new USG Presidents within the last few years, including GSU and GT, steady decline in state tax monies coming in… excellent timing. See my post above at May 3, 12:52 pm.

these cookies were excellent - ease of preparation, taste, appearance. will definitely make again and keep in my saved file. one caveat, these sweets do not keep well. the filling weeps and the cookie becomes gummy, best to serve and eat same day.
Sesame Sweets
Becky Luigart-Stayner
Sweet treats made from sesame seeds are common to Makar Sankrat/Pongal celebrations. Traditionally, these cookies are made by encasing the filling in the dough and dropping them into hot oil to fry. This version, similar in concept to a thumbprint cookie, is baked and just as tasty.

Among couture fashion designers, Jean Paul Gaultier is a favorite of singer and actress Jessica Simpson because they emphasize her hourglass figure. Simpson, 30, recently told Lucky magazine, "I'm a huge Jean Paul Gaultier fan. His pieces make my waist look good."
Simpson also says that though she likes clothes that hug her figure, she goes against the fashion industry a little when it comes to skinny jeans, saying she likes them slightly baggy and lower on the hips.
Though the public seems to notice every time Simpson gains or loses weight, she says she's finally accepted her womanly curves, partly as a result of her television show "The Price of Beauty."

That's "Sennheiser" and they do make some of the best cans around. I use them for music listening and recording. On the other hand, a friend and I picked up some cheapo Logitech USB 250's for Teamspeak (-speex on the Mac) and they work great for that. They would likely be ok for WoW voice chat.

Issue Spotlight
The April issue is the second Founders Tribute, which recognizes Professor R. Byron Bird, a modern renaissance man, a superb educator, intellectual leader, and scholar. Professor Bird, who is currently an Emeritus Professor of Chemical Engineering at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, is a renowned expert in polymer rheology and fluid mechanics spanning the molecular to process scales. Bird had contributed enormously to chemical engineering science, with particular emphasis in fluid dynamics, transport phenomena, kinetic theory of polymers, and the rheology of polymeric liquids. He is also co-author of "Transport Phenomena" with his colleagues Professors W. Stewart and E. Lightfoot. This book helped to usher in the chemical engineering science era with its focus on the microscopic origins of momentum, mass, and heat transport, laying the foundations of multi-scale modeling. The issue starts off with a retrospective on Professor Bird's contributions, authored Professor Bob Armstrong (MIT). This rest of the tribute contains contributions from Bird's former colleagues, students, academic offspring, collaborators, and other distinguished scholars. The issue conveys the respect and admiration of Professor Bird's scholarly impressions on the chemical engineering profession.

Armentières is a commune in the Nord department in the Nord-Pas-de-Calais region in northern France. It is part of the Urban Community of Lille Métropole, and lies on the Belgian border, northwest of the city of Lille, on the right bank of the river Lys. The motto of the town is Pauvre mais fière (Poor but proud).
In 1668, the town became French like the rest of French Flanders. At the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th, Armentières acquired fame, being the "City of the Fabric". The industrial weaving, spinning and brewing grew in Armentières, benefitting from the presence of water.

I admit not being able to define, not even for even stronger reasons to propose, an ideal social model for the functioning of our scientific or technological society. On the other hand, one of the most urgent tasks, before everything else, is that we are used to consider, at least in our European society, that power is in the hands of the government and is exerted by some particular institutions such as local governments, the police, the Army. These institutions transmit the orders, apply them and punish people who don't obey. But, I think that the political power is also exerted by a few other institutions which seem to have nothing in common with the political power, which seem to be independent, but which actually aren't. We all know that university and the whole educational system that is supposed to distribute knowledge, we know that the educational system maintains the power in the hands of a certain class and exclude the other social class from this power… . It seems to me that the real political task in a society such as ours is to criticize the workings of institutions that appear to be both neutral and independent; to criticize and attack them in such a manner that political violence has always exercised itself obscurely through them will be unmasked, so that one can fight against them. Michel Foucault, "On the Topic of Future Society" from Conversations with Noam Chomsky, c. 1971 (via metamash)

Christian values are not fundamentally at odds with government. There's room for debate and constructive criticism, but not an all-out attack on government's legitimacy. Instead, Christians should consider the role of the state within the framework of their guiding principles.
One of the errors both Christians and non-Christians make is to plunge into the midst of political debates without sufficiently reflecting on first principles. Just as we need a blueprint to build a house, people need to think through what ought to be the role and purpose of government in our lives. God willed the state, as Edmund Burke put it; but what does He want the state to achieve?
There are four categories that can help Christians think through the proper role of government in our lives.
1. Order. Order is the first responsibility of government. It is the , the necessary precondition, for a thriving society. Without it, we can hardly expect things such as justice, prosperity, and virtue to flourish. And order cannot be achieved without government, which is itself an instrument sanctioned in the Hebrew Bible and the New Testament.
2. Justice. "Justice is the end of government," James Madison wrote in Federalist Paper No. 51. Justice has been defined as the quality of being impartial and fair, the equal treatment of equals, and living in accordance with the natural law and the divine plan. What Judaism and Christianity have added to our understanding of justice – their distinctive and lasting contribution – is the importance of caring for the weak, the disadvantaged, and the oppressed. At the core of justice is the belief that everyone, no matter at what station or in what season of life, has inherent dignity and rights. This is not only a private concern but also a public one.
3. Virtue. For the ancient Greeks, happiness was defined as the soul acting in accordance with virtue. The Founders understood that the need for virtue is greatest in free societies because they depend on self-government, on citizens who govern themselves and their passions, and who lead decent, law-abiding lives. The role of government in the formation of human character tends to be indirect and limited. But from time to time, statecraft engages in soulcraft as well. Just as attitudes, mores, and manners shape laws, laws shape attitudes, mores, and manners. Beyond that, laws and government policies can affirm, or weaken, character-forming institutions like the family.

Production Specialist Bard Cole (Shotzi) has been on staff at WKNO since 2006. He is a graduate of the University of Alabama's MFA in Creative Writing Program and the author of two books of fiction. In addition to bringing Shotzi to life (he also designed and created the puppet), Bard serves as co-producer and co-writer for the series.
"I wanted to make something that was fun and silly but was aimed at an intelligent audience — people who really enjoy movies and like thinking about them," said Cole. "I've been a public television watcher since I was a little kid, and I learned a lot about American popular culture by watching TV. Why shouldn't young people today learn about Roger Corman or Ed Wood or Vincent Price by watching WKNO?"
Michael Degnan (Professor Ghoul) is a longtime fixture of the Memphis Comedy scene and a veteran of Memphis television. He has been a student ambassador, a five-time finalist in the Funniest Person in Memphis Contest, and is currently a member of The Wiseguys Improv Comedy Troupe.
"WKNO and PBS in general are the stewards of cultural history on television, and I strongly believe that the horror film and the horror host as a format have been an important part of our cultural identity as Americans," said Degnan. "WKNO is also a natural fit for a show that is seeking to educate as well as entertain its audience. This is a project which has generated a lot of excitement from WKNO staff and their support lets me know that this is the perfect (or as Shotzi may say – 'Purrrfect') place for this show."
Professor Ghoul's Horror School is produced and written by Bard Cole and Michael Degnan and directed by Peter Richards.

It is interesting that the gospel writers use the word transfiguration to describe the event at the top of the mountain. Would transformation have meant the same thing? Obviously not, or they would have used it. Our popular culture loves TV shows about transformationjust think of all the house renovation programs. But these are all about the externals. Perhaps transfiguration is about the revealing of deeper realities.

James House expands services to help families of addicts cope
WILLMAR -- After four years in and out of 11 treatment facilities, Joe Thimons hadn't found what he described as "meaningful sobriety."
"You name it, I tried it to get sober," Thimons said of his chemical dependency.
Two of those 11 attempts at sobriety were at a treatment facility in Willmar, where Thimons -- a now recovered alcoholic -- first encountered chemical abuse counselor and fellow recovered alcoholic Gary Van Eps.

I've been working on this for months, but I don't have as much free time as I used to so it took forever to finish. So these textures are all from photos of nature, the ocean, the sky, mountains, flowers, some ended up being "light textures", others are simply an edited photos. The pack is big so it's gonna take some time to download. Hope you enjoy them! And thank you for the million time for keep using my textures!
If you download, like (or reblog) this post, please. Credit is always very nice (even if it's in your resources page) ;)

RE: Grace Mandigo
Move her if you want. I can't say 100% that it is Grace Church Cemetery, I'm only going by what the book that I have says. I think as long as we make the link to her husband and her parents it should be fine. I took about 250 pictures in November in those cemeteries. I'm almost done entering the new memorials and I am trying to stick to the book to get the cemetery correct. It is a tough one. I believe that many folks don't know there are two cemeteries there, they just see the Fairmount sign as the Grace Church sign is quite small.
Thank you!

RE: Dorothy Hoyt /Gertrude Frechette
Thank you for the quick reply on the updates. No I don't need them, I just wanted to add the parents and other info to the memorials. I also sent birth & death info on Dorothy & Gertrude. You should have it on the right hand side of your home page under edits. I guess this is the new way to add updates?? I added the info and you have to accept it. I went to Sutton in early November and have about 200 or so photos to add!

Thank you that is very sweet of you to transfer her to me.

You are very welcome. I didn't find Rossie Morris Murray's grave. Her parents and William's graves are close to each other and that should be where she is buried. I would guess she may not have a marker. I will look again sometime when I am in the cemetery.

You're ready to start using a site — where do you get access to one?
When you're starting out, you can get access to a Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 site in one of three ways:
If you were granted permissions to a particular site, you can navigate to that site as you do any Web site.
Note This article refers to an example SharePoint site created by Adventure Works, a fictitious company that manufactures bicycles, bicycle components, and bicycling accessories.
For example, Diana, a new employee for the Adventure Works Marketing team, wants to get information about absence reporting at the company. On the Marketing site, she notices a tab labeled New Hire Wiki.
Knowing that she has permissions to the site, she clicks the tab, and the New Hire Wiki home page opens.
If you try to access a site and an error message appears, you must request permissions from the site owner by clicking Request access and entering some information in the request form that appears.
Note If Request access is not on the page, the request access feature has not been enabled. In this case, contact the site administrator directly.
In this example, Chris wants to request access to a site containing information that he needs for a report.
To do this, Chris clicks the Request access link, types his request, and then clicks Send Request. A message is sent to the site owner with the request for permissions to the site.
Office SharePoint Server 2007 makes it easy to create your own site. When you create a new site, you choose from several templates that provide an excellent starting point. These templates contain pages, lists, libraries, and other elements that can help your team work together on projects, collaborate on documents, and manage meetings. After selecting the template that best meets your needs, you can add, remove, and customize the appearance of its elements, such as text, graphics, pages, lists, and libraries.

Two young teenage boys were arrested and charged as juveniles with breaking into a home in East Islip just after midnight Tuesday, police said.

The break-in occurred on Washington Street near Greenwood Avenue at about 12:15 a.m. Police said that the two stole a cellphone and keys before fleeing the residence.

The ASEAN Services Sector and the Growth Rebalancing Model
AbstractThe growth rebalancing model, which places the nontradable services sector on center stage, is important to spur on faster growth in this sector and tap its potential to become another engine of growth for ASEAN economies. While ASEAN countries have allocated the bulk of their fiscal stimulus packages to infrastructure spending, the present levels are nevertheless considered insufficient to create a large impact on growth. By focusing on the provision of infrastructure and social services like power, ports, roads, and mass transit, along with health and education, governments can address the large investment backlogs in these sectors. Except for Singapore, ASEAN countries remain protective of their services sectors. To encourage and renew private sector interest in infrastructure investment in the region, governments have an important role to play in creating an enabling environment, particularly in maintaining an efficient and competitive services sector. The growth rebalancing model's emphasis on environmental protection, low carbon growth, and green strategies places the spotlight on new areas of services investment where ASEAN countries could develop market niches. Thus, ASEAN governments should pursue policies that support these new growth areas by encouraging research and development, strengthening mechanisms for the transfer of green technology, and promoting greater private sector participation.

Rated 5 out of 5 by BillB33 Exceeded my Expectations! From the minute I walked into the hotel and on my departure the staff was incredible. All dpeartment team members made eye contact and addressed me by my name. Very clean and well-kept hotel! August 9, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Alby1370 Great Conference/Convention Property Very engaging staff, polite eager to please. August 10, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Lola1257 Excellent Meeting The team did an extraordinary job of delivering a meeting that exceeded expectations. The staff is dedicated, hardworking and creative. August 9, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by Stevenjude Sheraton dowtown Phoenix Bathroom had hair on floor and in shower upon my arrival. Pool was scenic and quiet, but had a bandaid inside. August 9, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by anonymous090923 Average and Below Average for Starwood I travel a lot and expect more from a Starwood property, especially when they upped my rate on me. They were understaffed and everything took forever no matter what you needed; a package pick up, room key, have a question, need coffee, and this trickled over to their bar and restaurant. They messed up my breakfast order and when I said something the next day (since I could not wait an hour for them to fix it) they sent a manager to my room early in the morning to ask me about the issue. She was very polite and I was surprised they would bother me early in the morning without giving me notice. I will not stay here again and I will definitely not recommend the hotel to any of my friends or colleagues who travel just as much as I do. October 29, 2012
Rated 3 out of 5 by runflacarun The hotel had terrible check out I was not at all pleased with the checkout process. The gentlemen did not know what he was doing. Very frustrated. August 6, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Amir50 Phoenix Sheraton Downtown I have stayed at this Sheraton multiple times this year including twice in July and every single time it has been an excellent experience. The staff is outstanding, the Gym is one of the best I have seen in a hotel, and food is excellent. This is by far one of the best Sheratons in the nation and if I am in Pheonix, that's the only place I will stay at. August 1, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by MetricsMan Housekeeping Stayed 4 nites for a conference and was very pleasantly surprised by the friendliness and attentiveness of the staff. What really prompted this review was the housekeeping staff. My toilet was running but I could stop it by removing the top and adjusting the float. I left a little yellow sticky on the tank top indicating that the float was sticking and left for the day. I forgot to notify the front desk or engineering. When I returned, the yellow sticky was gone but the sticking float was fixed. Amazing!! November 2, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Emily29 Great Stay Beautiful stay at the Sheraton downtown. Lovely hotel, beautiful artwork, comfortable beds, and exceptionally professional and courteous staff. The only complaint I have is that the water was, at times, dangerously hot coming out of the faucet. It would turn very hot during my showers. I would start at one temp and then it would get extremely hot for a few seconds, then go back to the right temp. I was a nervous wreck in the shower each morning...I'm talking VERY hot water! Everything else was excellent. December 13, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by 1Giver Great Room We had a two suites on the 31st floor ---rooms were excellent and the club was extremely nice as well. Would Recommend this for people visiting downtown Phoenix. August 4, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by CoachDW Enjoyed the stay Very comfortable, clean accommodations. Love the fitness center. Responsive staff. Easy downtown access via public transport. Very accessible to sports venues. August 4, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by anitfw wonderful expereince The hotel has elegant detail, the restaurant has delicious and imaginative cuisine - some ingredients are actually grown on a rooftop herb garden across from a beautiful outdoor pool perfect for an evening swim and the staff was incredibly helpful. August 2, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 Need to work on customer service Stayed at hotel for a conference five days. When I arrived I found out that my asst had not made a reservation. However, the nice lady at the desk gave me a room and a great rate. That is when customer service went downhill. The next day was told oops the hotel was oversold and that I needed to vacate my room immediately! I was even locked out in the midst of my conference. After heavy debate and much attitude by staff I got to stay but was charged a different rate than quoted and double billed. July 13, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by papio staff Nikki was very professional and helpful, really nice customer service. August 4, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by SusieDJuly2014 Perfect accommodations! This was an outstanding experience at your hotel for a conference we had for our company this July. The food was creative and delicious. No complaints at all. All staff was very friendly, warmly accepting of us and keenly efficient. Each small room and large meeting groups were efficiently attentive in all ways even with adding extra microphones for a speaker who was softspoken. There was not one concern on our part as patrons. Every need of ours was handled smoothly. At the cocktail meetings the staff was friendly, almost like we were special guests invited into their home! Our room was so comfortable. Having accessible computers in the lobby at NC was a plus! This was a totally wonderful experience. Thank you all staff! July 14, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by PlatStud Excellent Sheraton The moment we walked into the Hotel I was able to feel at ease. It has a calm and tranquil environment considering how big the lobby is. The lobby is very modern, clean and spacious. As a GOLD was upgraded to the SPG floor without asking. The room was spacious and typical Sheraton Style. The district bar is very good. Saturday nights they have live Jazz which is very nice. Overall an awesome Sheraton very close to a lot of the major attractions that downtown Phoenix has to offer. January 25, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Nancy2595 Super Hotel With Great Staff This hotel has great staff, a fantastic exercise room (the best I have ever seen in a hotel), and reasonably priced and great food in their restaurant and at their bistro/coffee shop. The meeting spaces are fantastic (I was there for a training conference), and the access to PCs for checking email and browsing the net was great. My room was clean, comfortable, and offered a great view of the Superstition Mountains. I would recommend this hotel to vacationers, honeymooners, for family reunions, business travelers and for a place to hold large sized conferences. Just an all around great place to stay. July 2, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by Bill16 Great hotel with one serious lapse I hate to criticize the hotel when so much about the facility is quite outstanding. The lapse involves insufficient telephone staff. In dialing the operator to call another hotel guest, I was put on an endless recording that someone would be with me shortly. After 5 minutes of waiting several times on different days, I simply gave up. In 45 years of frequent business travel, I have never experienced this problem anywhere. This needs the hotel management's attention. April 22, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by LaserDoctor Better than I expected In the past few years I've been travelling a lot through Canada, US, Australia and the Middle East, so I've seen many hotels promising on their websites and not delivering in real life. Sheraton Phoenix Downtown Hotel is an exception and made my trip to Arizona enjoyable, comfortable and overall unforgettable. Thank you all for your hospitality and for doing such a good job. April 7, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by JojoL Great Hotel Stayed 4 nights for a large conference. The hotel waa completely booked an most of us were arriving and departing at the same time. I think the staff did an excellent job managing the crowds. All staff were helpful and friendly. Our room was very nice, comfy and spotless. A/C worked great, despite the 116 degree temps outside! A tiny complaint about whatever mattress cover they use, it was kind of "crunchy" and made noise when you turn over, other than that, the bed was extremely comfortable. My reason for lower ratings on SPG recognition and food and beverage. SPG: I didn't notice that I was recognized in any way for being a member. And as far as food an beverage, we did not eat at hotel restaurant, it was very expensive and the coffee shop had little selection for grab and go foods. Biggest complaint: $14.95 a day charge for internet access. Other chains offer it free for their members. I will probably not stay here again solely because of the cost of internet access. July 29, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by PurpleUA Great Location - Friendly Staff I've stayed in this Sheraton a number of times and the staff has always been helpful and accessible. The restaurant is outstanding and not at all what I would expect from hotel food. (Talk to Brian at the bar - knowledgeable and personable.) I once had a bad experience with room service - tasteless sandwich, cold french fries. The dinning room manager was very responsive and discounted my lunch the next day. I would highly recommend this hotel. December 22, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by SydneyB Outstanding staff Jen and Brandon! Stayed here for almost a week for a conference - usually conference hotels are busy, impersonal, and you're just glad it's close to the convention center. I was VERY pleasantly surprised by a wonderful front desk staffperson named Jen and an equally wonderful Security guy named Brandon. Every morning (at 5 am - I was on EST!_ they greeted me, helped me if I needed anything, and were super friendly. Made this a most memorable conference stay! November 20, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by mbluecpa Very comfortable choice Despite its size, the Sheraton Phoenix doesn't feel nearly like a 1000-room hotel; service was friendly and efficient and the bar and restaurant never crowded. The public areas, like the rooms, are well-appointed and in nearly-new condition. In the rooms (I had a standard, city-view room), lighting is good and I particularly appreciated that the desk faced the window as I found myself working at it quite a bit. The TV was smaller (32" I think) but OK for a room of this size. The Green Choice option was handled efficiently: the check-in agent offered it, the card was under my door in the morning, and the points posted promptly. My only heads up to future guests is that the door staff defaulted to getting a livery cab/car service car when I asked for a taxi (the black cars were lined up near the door with no standard taxis in sight)...$17 vs $29 for an airport trip. June 9, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by BeachyCal Great location, great staff! I had a comfortable stay at this Sheraton, although I did let them know that the wifi connection in my room was not good. They were already aware of the issue and have had a plan in place to possibly fix this problem. Hopefully, they can figure it out and fix it. :) July 28, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Vinny85 Very nice facility The hotel in Phoenix was very conveniently located to the convention center and the airport. In fact, several meetings and get-togethers were in the hotel which just added to the convenience. July 29, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by AZWW Revised stay review at NABC Everything was fantastic EXCEPT the surprise parking charges. Sheraton should be ashamed. I have stayed at a variety of hotels, nationally AND internationally. I have NEVER been charged such a fee. Not even at one of your neighboring resort areas. I am sharing this with the ACBL. This even reflects negatively on America to the plethora of folks from overseas who attended this affair. December 7, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by GUS727 Outstanding Stay @ the Sheraton Phoenix My recent stay at the Sheraton Phoenix was outstanding and the staff's "can do" attitude was impressive. The facility is great for meetings and our conference was top notch featuring many unique and creative food and beverage events. This hotel is the true jewel of downtown Phoenix. Proximity to the Conventer Center and convenience to the airport were also things that were appreciated. August 15, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Krispic Comfortable, convenient Hotel for our business trip Stayed 5 nights for business. Room was pretty small but fit our needs. 2 double beds with a table and two chairs under window. Small coffee maker and fridge. Beautiful view from the 28th floor. We upgraded to Club level and took advantage of what it offered. Coffee, tea, bottled water and soda all day!! Even a cappuccino machine!! Light breakfast and snacks at happy hour. January 16, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by LindaAnn Easy, Breezy Sheraton Phoenix We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Phoenix Sheraton this past weekend. We came down from Seattle so I could run the Arizona Rock and Roll Marathon. The hotel's location was perfect for the Expo and Start which are the most important criteria for me. This was my 12th marathon in 12 months and I was very pleased with my choice of the hotel from the marathon website. January 21, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by BNelson11 Good But Total Cost is Pricey Stayed here on business for national conference. Overall this is a nice hotel with what I consider average rooms for this level of hotel. The food the hotel prepared for the meetings was excellent. Staff were courteous and helpful and friendly. The room rate was okay because of the conference summer rate we received but then again it was 107 degrees so couldn't really go anywhere outside for very long. I stayed at a true resort in New Mexico a few weeks ago for similar conference and they had equal pricing but had a resort with lots to do, outstanding food and several beautiful pools so the Sheraton hotel was okay by comparison. However, while we received average rates, by the time you add $19/day self park and $14.95/day for Wi-Fi access, it gets pricey for what you get. July 14, 2014

Folksy is the largest marketplace for handmade work focusing exclusively on UK designers and makers. The service launched in summer 2008 and has risen to become the pre-eminent retail outlet for handmade gifts as well as handmade craft supplies. In summer 2011 we took investment to scale Folksy, to realise our ambition of growing Folksy to compete globally and enable talented UK designers and makers to grow their businesses.
Folksy HQ is in Sheffield (Flickr photo map) and there are a team of six full and part-time people involved in Folksy.

- Oct - My Favourites launched. A personal page full of fresh products from the makers you love.
- Oct - Seller specific blog relaunched.
Folksy's Philosophy
- Strength in numbers. We believe that professional, portfolio and hobbyist designers and makers can reach a mainstream audience, test markets and grow their business more effectively together with Folksy than through costly galleries and boutique shops.
- Cottage Industries are the future. Small scale production and handmade goods offer ways to manage resources effectively and support local economies. Craft also produces a more skilled and satisfied community (we're with Richard Sennet on this one). So, we're not anti-corporate, we just want a thriving cottage industry too
- Meritocracy is good for everyone. Folksy is not a juried site. We allow all designers and makers to list their work as long as it is hand crafted (no vintage, for example). This creates a meritocracy where great work from hobbyists can rub shoulders with the best from established professional crafters. The work should stand for itself.
Background to Folksy
Folksy was launched in August 2008 by James Boardwell and Rob Lee. James had been researching early social networks in 2000 in his role at Future Media and Technology at the BBC. This research led to crafters sharing tips and ideas through blog networks in the US, Australia and the UK, a creative outlet but also a means of support for suburban young mums cut off from traditional familial and social networks. This, combined with his family background in textiles and crafts in north east Lancashire, around Colne, fostered a desire to create Folksy. Rob, expert at architecting large scale web services brought his own passion for electronics and geekery into the idea for Folksy and an early prototype was built in 2007 before launching properly in 2008.

OKLAHOMA CITY -- Kevin Durant put a dazzling end to Memphis' gritty comeback.
The Grizzlies erased most of a 25-point deficit before Durant, the league's scoring champion, got hot. He scored 13 of his 33 points in the fourth quarter to help the Oklahoma City Thunder defeat Memphis 100-86 on Saturday night in the opening game of their first-round playoff series.
The Thunder already were regaining control in the fourth quarter before Durant took over. He scored 11 points in a 5-minute, 21-second surge that stretched Oklahoma City's lead from seven points to 14 and put the game out of reach.
"We just stayed together," Durant said. "We made plays in the fourth quarter. The third quarter was tough for us, but we stayed together. We didn't stray away."
Russell Westbrook had 23 points and 10 rebounds and Serge Ibaka added 17 points and nine rebounds for the Thunder.
Zach Randolph led Memphis with 21 points and 11 rebounds, but he made just seven of 21 shots and got into foul trouble in the second half. Mike Conley had 16 points and 11 assists, Marc Gasol scored 16 points and Tony Allen added 13 points for the Grizzlies. Memphis might have stolen the game if not for a miserable first half.
"We've got to make adjustments to get off to a better start," Randolph said. "We can't exert so much energy trying to come back from 20 points. It's the first game, we've got to stick together. We've been here before, we know what we've got to do and come out and be ready for Monday."
Memphis shot just 36 per cent from the field and made just 18 of 31 free throws.
"We got good looks. I can't say it was anything other than that," Conley said. "We got good looks. We got some open 3s. Our bigs got some good looks in the post. We just didn't knock them down. We have to be more focused at the line as well. Making free throws is a big deal for us. We got opportunities. We've got to make them."
Oklahoma City was the only home team to win on the first day of the post-season, but the Thunder nearly made it four losses for higher seeds after getting outscored 31-13 in the third quarter.
"We didn't want to be the leading trend on losing a home game," Westbrook said. "We're just happy we won a game. We did a great job of just coming out and hitting them first. They're a physical team and we did a great job of going by our game plan."
The Thunder pushed the pace to take an 8-0 lead, and Memphis called a timeout less than three minutes into the game. Conley finally scored Memphis' first point at the 9:04 mark after the Grizzlies missed their first five shots.
The Thunder led 29-16 at the end of the first period. Oklahoma City shot 52 per cent in the first 12 minutes while holding the Grizzlies to 17 per cent shooting.
Oklahoma City continued the onslaught into the second quarter and took a 56-34 advantage into the locker room.
Memphis scored the first six points of the second half, and though Oklahoma City quickly called a timeout, the Grizzlies continued their surge. A three-point play by Allen trimmed the Thunder's lead to 60-51, and by the end of the third quarter, Memphis had cut its deficit to 69-65. Allen scored nine points in the third quarter, and Randolph scored eight. Memphis held Oklahoma City to 3-for-16 shooting in the period.
"I just think as a point guard, my job is to set the tone, and I didn't do a great job of that in the third quarter, of coming out and setting the tone," Westbrook said. "I had a few bad turnovers and kind of let them get easy baskets. I've got to do a better job of that."
The Grizzlies had whittled Oklahoma City's lead down to three early in the fourth before a powerful drive and jam by Caron Butler brought life back to the nervous arena and gave the Thunder a 74-69 lead with just under nine minutes to play. Memphis' Mike Miller came back with a 3-pointer to make it a two-point game, but the Thunder responded with a 13-1 run.
Though Oklahoma City held on, Memphis will take confidence from its rally into Game 2.
"We see what we did," Randolph said. "I think we cut it down to two, and they made another run, but we see what we can do. We know what we can do and we've got to come like that at the beginning of the game."
NOTES: Saturday was the 19-year anniversary of the bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah federal building in Oklahoma City. The crowd observed a moment of silence before tip-off. ... Memphis reserve point guard Nick Calathes has been suspended for 20 games for violating the NBA's anti-drug policy, starting Saturday. The league said Friday night in a release that Calathes tested positive for tamoxifen. "It is what it is," Grizzlies coach Dave Joerger said before the game. "We've dealt with adversity all season." ... Thunder rookie Steven Adams blocked three shots in the first quarter in just 1:26. The Thunder blocked five shots in the period.

He doesn't drop much loot but if you camp him long enough, a keyboard company will thank you for having to send him a much more sturdy replacement.
I actively encourage all Horde to partake in this wonderful event, and do whatever you can to ensure that Saiforune never, ever, ever gets this drop.

Last week Cowboys linebacker Jerry Brown was killed in a car accident due to the poor decisions of his teammate and friend Josh Brent.
Brent was driving under the influence of alcohol when he lost control of his vehicle and crashed. Brent escaped the wreckage but a story from the Dallas Morning News sheds new light on what really happen that night.
Reports first stated that Brent pulled his teammates body out of the burning car in an effort to save Brown's life.
An act of heroism…
But eyewitness Stacee McWilliam, who was on her way home from a birthday celebration, drove upon the crash scene and recounted a very different story.
"As I was on the access road, I approached the aftermath of what was obviously a horrible, tragic incident. When I first pulled up to the scene, there was a little bit of a flame coming from the flipped vehicle, like in the engine area. Just a very small flame and I wasn't too overly concerned for that. I jumped out of my vehicle and ran up to make sure that everyone was okay. As I got closer to the scene, there was a gentleman, which I later found out was Josh Brent, that was standing off to the right side of the wreckage, kind of pacing back and forth, you know, walking around."
"I asked him if he was okay, I said 'Is everyone okay?', 'Are you alright?', and he responded to me, he said that he was fine."
"The person that was in the other vehicle stepped out of her car and she said 'I've already called 9-1-1, they're on the way'. And I was like, I'm so relieved that, you know, single-car collision, no injuries, fine...But it took no time at all for this fire to really get engaged. It became very hot, very bright, very big and then I started to hear screams coming from inside the vehicle and it was a man's voice saying 'Help me', you know, 'Help, somebody help me'. And I turned and looked at the gentleman in the black pants (Brent), and I said 'Is there a passenger? Is there somebody in the car?'. And he said 'Yeah'. And I told him 'Well, get him out of the car'."
"Josh looked at me and he said 'He won't get out of the car'. And I said 'Well, you can't just leave him in there and let him die. You've got to help him. Go get him'. And I commanded him several times and Josh looked at me, and he again said 'He won't get out of the car'. And I told him 'You can't stand here and watch him die. You've got to get him out'."
From McWilliam's story, Brent should not be labeled as a hero but as a coward.
When McWilliam's left for a moment to retrieve her cell phone, Brent then decided to finally pull Brown from the vehicle.
"He (Brown) was laying in the middle of the lane, very still. He had his arms were outstretched, almost in the shape of a 'T'. And he was moving his arms just a little bit, he was moving his head just a little bit. So I was like 'Okay, he's not dead, he's alive'. You know, I felt some sense of relief. The fire was getting bigger, glass was starting to shatter. I don't know where Josh went at this point, because he just disappeared into the darkness behind the vehicle."
"I didn't know Jerry in life. I never heard of him, I didn't know who he was," McWilliams added. "But I want people to understand that Josh Brent is not a hero. I keep hearing reports of how he was there to pull his friend from the fire, but he had to be coerced and pushed and begged and pleaded to get his friend out of the fire. And when he pulled him out, he just left him in the street. He didn't tell him 'Hang in there, help is on the way'. Nothing. He just left him there and I want the magnitude of that to be understood."
What kind of man watches his 'so call friend' burn, hurt and essentially die right in front of his face?
Facing intoxication manslaughter charges, Brent's poor decisions that night will ultimately lead to a twenty-plus year prison sentence and the haunting cloud of indecision.
Jerry Brown's family has gone on record forgiving Brent for the incident but after hearing McWilliam's side of the story, a life could have been saved.
