Great reading for new Druids (like yours truly)
I tend to follow a few blogs about Druids as I always enjoy researching and how I can better myself as a resto druid.
One of my favorite blogs belongs to Lissanna, who writes Restokin. The posts are always informative, full of humor and "non-elitist" advice. As a user coming back from a long hiatus, it certainly helps because of the ever-changing dynamics of WoW.
I highly recommend you take a few minutes and read her posts. For those truly new to healing, her guide for PvE is excellent and chock full of druid restoration goodness:
"The best thing to give to your enemy is forgiveness; to an opponent, tolerance; to a friend, your heart; to your child, a good example; to a father, deference; to your mother, conduct that will make her proud of you; to yourself, respect; to all men, charity."
Benjamin Franklinhttp://thinkexist.com/quotation/the_best_thing_to_give_to_your_enemy_is/154941.html
One of the better posts I've read in a long time with regards to being a healer. A must read for everyone:
Getting back into the swing of things
After a long hiatus from WoW, I found myself missing it and so I reactivated my account again.
With my wife expecting our first child, she often goes to bed at 8:30 which leaves me plenty of time sitting idly…Enter WoW…. :)
I have a level 80 Restoration Druid (armory link here) and really enjoying healing again.
Kudos to Blizzard for the new IceCrown 5 Man instances. After purchasing some gear from the AH and crafting a few pieces, I entered the Forge of Souls with 2 fellow guildies.
Wow…. Such an amazing instance. I haven't had the fortune of experiencing a lot of the end game instances, and so for me this was very awe-inspiring. I just loved the theme and the story line. The floating skulls that randomly charge you.. Looking down at the chasm underneath the platforms.. A wonderful job Blizzard.
I did better healing than I thought I would. My standard of measurement is no one died :) Healing to me is one of those roles that you can't afford to be lackluster in. Time and Experience are the best teachers. Fortunately it makes it quite a bit easier when you're running with RL friends as they rip and rag on you, but they understand.
I've successfully healed now Pit of Saron. I really hate Forgemaster Garfrost. That guy and his permafrost debuffs just kill me for whatever reason. I think it's because I have a tendency to have "healer vision". I just focus on health bars and nothing else. But time is a good teacher and I will get there sooner or later.
I just read an excellent article about a warrior's first time tanking's experience. It made me think about my first couple of instance runs as a healer. Everyone has to start out somewhere. So before you lay into someone, give them advice. It's often easier to point out the negatives, but who likes to hear those things? We play this game for entertainment at the end of the day. So let's enjoy it… :)

Shedding Light on the Gay Issue
It has become increasingly common in the Orthodox community for young men to turn to a therapist because of concerns regarding their "sexual orientation." Sometimes, even if they give other reasons for their interests in therapy, the concern over same-sex attraction (SSA) is an underlying concern that permeates their subconscious mind.
Sometimes the concern over SSA relates only to their fantasy life. At other times the impetus for their concern is the fact that these young men have acted out sexually with other boys. In the past, when this happened, the participants "only" had to struggle with guilt feelings. Since the advent of the "gay revolution" and its fabrication of the concept of "being" gay with its attending supposition that people are born this way, many youngsters react to such events with the alarming fear that their actions prove that they are indeed gay - a fear that overshadows feelings of guilt. The anxiety over "sexual orientation" touches off many secondary problems of difficulties concentrating, depressed mood, poor self-esteem, etc.
The Fallacy of the "Gay Gene"
Many people find it difficult to believe that there is not a shred of credible scientific evidence for the existence of the "gay gene," since it flies in the face of what is presented as fact in our culture. There have been a few attempts by self identified gay scientists to present evidence of genetic contributions to homosexuality, but these endeavors have never withstood scientific scrutiny, a point that gay activist researchers now concede.1 Most people are unaware of the fact that gay rights advocates have often written in their internal documents that it advances their agenda to popularize the concept of a "gay gene" (regardless of the lack of scientific evidence).2
Even if evidence of a gene associated with homosexuality were to be found (which has not actually happened), it would be grossly inaccurate to describe such a gene as "a gene for homosexuality."
Genetics do not determine behavior in the same way that they determine physical traits, such as eye color. With behavior, the environment itself is substantially involved in genetic transmission, even when the proportion of variation attributable to genetic influence is high.. Genes do not produce behavior; they do not even determine behavior, they only influence the probability that behavior will occur, given a specific environmental influence..[p. 275] Caution is warranted [even in interpreting twin studies that purportedly shows evidence of genetic influences since] the difference between monozygotic and dizygotic concordance overestimates heritability to an indeterminate degree [p. 274]. 3
The overly simplistic picture drawn by the popular press of a gene that "makes" a person gay is only partially a result of the gay activists' propaganda. It also reflects the very American tendency to oversimplify complex matters (a la "The Idiot's Guide to .."). In a recent article in the American Journal of Psychiatry, a researcher decried the misleading "Gene Talk" prevalent in both the lay and the professional writings about psychiatric disorders and other complex behaviors, misleadingly implying a direct link between a gene and a trait or disorder.4 Likewise, a noted genetic researcher stated in a special issue of Science:
.the interaction of genes and environment is much more complicated than the simple "violence genes" and "intelligence genes" touted in the popular press.. The same data that show the effect of genes, also point to the enormous influence of non-genetic factors [p. 1687]. 5
The preponderance of scientific evidence indicates that environmental factors play the dominant role in causing someone to experience same sex attraction (SSA). Some people find this difficult to accept, because they have felt SSA from a very early age. This fact is seen by many as conclusive evidence that such feelings must be "hardwired." One wonders if they would feel the same about those who have always felt a sexual attraction to children (or for bestiality, for that matter), or those who always felt an impulse for promiscuousness. Are we to assume that they are also hardwired to feel this way?
The abundant evidence from the rigorous scientific research on Attachment Disorders6 makes it clear that the earliest interactions between a caretaker and child, has a profound impact on the developing child, so there is no reason to doubt that it can also impact on gender identity and sexual orientation.
When discussing the environmental factors that can lead to SSA, it is important to keep in mind the dangers of overgeneralization inherent in discussing the cause of any psychological symptom. There are many factors that can, for example, cause poor self-esteem. Still, it most often involves having been overly criticized. Likewise, we can say that SSA is most often a result of problems with gender identity, where a young boy fails to identify with his father's masculinity. This, in turn, is most often the result of a distant, uninvolved or overly harsh and punitive father. The impact of this dynamic is often exacerbated by an overly involved and intrusive mother. Obviously, this explanation does not fit every case of SSA, as there are so many variations and complexities in the lives of all individuals, both regarding the temperament they are born with and the environmental forces they are exposed to.
It is certainly plausible to suggest, for example, that the parents of a boy who has a "sensitive temperament" may find it more challenging to help him develop a comfortable masculine gender identity. This is no different then the challenges faced by parents of a child who is more easily distractible. The more emotionally healthy the parents are individually and the family is as a unit, the more likely it is that the parents will have the capacity to help their child develop normally in spite of these obstacles.
A boy, who, for whatever reason, has not been successful in developing a comfortable masculine gender identity, will face many challenges in his emotional development. He may feel alienated from other boys and their interests (this can happen even if he is considered popular). When the other boys reach the age of feeling attracted to girls, he'll be interested in boys. This is not the result of some inborn sexual desire for males as the problem of gender identity starts before the age of sexual interest. In fact when his age mates were at the stage where they disdained girls he only wanted to play with girls.
Since SSA is reflective of an emotional deficit, it is usually accompanied by other emotional difficulties.7 Poor self-esteem, lack of assertiveness, excessive concern for the approval of others etc. are often part of the larger picture. The particular boys the person will be attracted to are usually those who have qualities he so desperately wants for himself (e.g., looks, tallness, assertiveness, confidence). The desire for physical closeness is often a desire to physically incorporate these admired qualities into ones self.8
In evaluating the nature of a specific family's dynamics it is important to keep in mind that people often have a less than accurate picture of their familial relationships. I cite abundant research evidence for this in my article "Chemical Imbalance or Problems in Living ?"
Is Change Possible?
The popular notion that SSA is unchangeable ("because it is genetic") is also part of the gay political agenda. Here again, even if a genetic/temperamental involvement for homosexuality is ever discovered, it would still not mean that it is necessarily unchangeable.
There is often a tendency to assume that, if a behavior pattern is related to a biologically based temperament, the pattern is unchangeable..The fallacy of this assumption is well documented in many areas of psychology.. changes in child's psychosocial context can clearly alter how his or her temperament is manifested [p. 122]. 9
The fact that overcoming SSA is indeed difficult and is often only achieved imperfectly is also cited as evidence of the unchangeable nature of sexual orientation thus making the apparent change not authentic. This claim is absurd! All psychological problems are difficult to change. Is it easy to help someone improve his self-esteem? Or to develop confidence? Or to overcome years of abuse? When the person makes progress, do we belittle his progress because he is still struggling? And if he improves with his issue 90%, do we not see this as a tremendous success even though vestiges of his problem remain? Why is the treatment of SSA held to such ridiculous and illogical and dramatically different standards than other areas of psychotherapy? Only because of a political agenda, it seems.
This political agenda has become obvious in the reaction of gay activists to scientist who report research findings contrary to the gay agenda. Dr. Robert Spitzer, the prominent Columbia University psychiatrist, was the architect of the 1973 American Psychiatric Association's decision to remove homosexuality from the list of psychiatric disorders; based, to a large degree, on the belief that homosexuality was an unchangeable part of the person's basic makeup. Recently, Dr. Spitzer restudied the issue, interviewing many people who successfully underwent therapy for homosexuality. He then made the following public statement:
I am convinced from the people I have interviewed, that for many of them, they have made substantial changes toward becoming heterosexual. I think that's news. I came to the study skeptical. I now claim that these changes can be sustained. 10
The gay activist responded to this statement, not with reasoned debate, or by challenging his findings on scientific grounds. Rather he was maligned and vilified by gay activists and the politically correct.
Therapists have had as much success helping people overcome SSA as they have had helping them overcome other psychological problems. The probability of success with treating SSA is dependent on the same factors (motivation, hope, support, resources, insight, etc.) that success in psychotherapy is always dependent on. So, while it would be inaccurate and unethical to suggest that overcoming SSA is easy, it is equally inaccurate and unethical to say that it is impossible.

Des any one think that the U.S. and China will ever go to war?
I just seems like a possibility that something like this could happen. We are in an economic war and the only way I can't think of to defeat China is to cut off trade to it for about a year. But I wonder if a physical war is a possibility.
Topics: peace
Aug 1 2012: why on earth one thinks of war?
maybe because they have got more weapons and they don't know what to do with them or it is a cultural thing.
their Can-Do attitude may create everything unexpected.
why don't you sing some more positive song; the moon is bright, man.
Do you think being in war is fun?
Have you ever been in Army?
Have you ever carried a weapon and known what it can do?
Aug 1 2012: I very much doubt it.
Personally the only way I could see it happening is if the US attacked China, which I doubt because China and south east Asia provide the US with much of its consumer products.
And I cannot see China starting anything like this because they already are doing more of a fiscal takeover of the US
Aug 9 2012: This is the view of China through an economist eyes.
Aug 2 2012: "Demons run, when a good man goes to war" Doctor Who.
As much as we have huge economic and social disagreements with China, I think we see each others people, as good people. It would be very difficult to get either side to develop violent hatred towards one another. No one wants to see the two of us go at it... It would be catastrophic enough to make the gods fear humanity.
peter lindsay 50+Aug 2 2012: It is one of the greatest effects of the "information revolution" that it has become almost impossible to demonise the population of another country as the truth is only a keystroke away. Look down the list of contributors to any one of these discussions. If you want to learn the truth about another country you just ask.
Aug 1 2012: PAUL, the point you are making is...................
One of my favorite things about the USA is FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION. It has worked quite well for us so far. I think the Chinese people would appreciate the respect and those in power in China are smart and wise enough to appreciate the value of FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION as it is a component of national and individual prosperity. China is ready for changes for the better. Business is happening in China now. China is ready, willing and able to change in ways that improves the lives of the Chinese people. In the USA, the top 2% are forgetting about the role of effective consumer demand as they greedily impoverish potential consumers. The USA and China can both change for the better. I wonder how you would suggest China and the USA change to improve the lives of those at the top and those in the middle and those at the bottom.
paul AshtonAug 2 2012: Hi Rhona,
Eloquent words before. As a matter of fact I was working on a gem of an idea not so long ago. Here it goes. I, like you, agree that China is prepared for well tailored democratic change made to fit its particular diverse needs. I believe technology is fundamental in this pursuit as per one of the currently posted ideas alludes to. In my perspective data sets of chinese populous cross sections opinions, views, provincial and local concerns, leader preference, and views on government direction could be effectively used to facillitate a transition towards democracy while meeting both government and a growing affluent entrepreneurial population need. While still maintaining "necessary" controls the Chinese government expectations could mandate a committee composed of government officials and respected citizens to views trends, work more within public concern, Recommend accountability, and collaborate towards a democratic solution in a communist shadow.
As for the states? Pull your heads from out your ;0?
Kidding! Kidding! Really.
Thanks for responding.
Aug 2 2012: PAUL Ashton, I am glad you are working on this. Oh what a wonderful world it will be when everyone is as wonderful as you and me. I think I just said that or said it partly just because it rhymes. So many so-called leaders become intoxicated and corrupt when they get their hands on power. I think we should look to the majority of the populations of China and the USA to demand honesty in government. In the USA we pay lip service to "capitalism" while the "capitalists" write legislation and control the "elected" officials to artificially distort the market place to benefit their greedy selves. Let's demand an immediate end to the loopholes instead of another 28 years studying it and talking about it. If those loopholes are not gone within the next 2 years, I think it is time for another true American Revolution, kicking out all elected officials that stand in the way of eliminating the loopholes that favor the people and companies contributing to their election campaigns and in other ways enhancing their wealth. I think we should start here at home and clean up our government. Let's reveal the change in income and assets of all elected officials between the time they start running for public office, enter public office and leave public office. The Chinese people will have to come up with their own courage, wisdom and action to get the freedoms they are entitled to and the honesty in government they and all people deserve. No more talking., No more studies. Everyone knows what the problems are. Now is the time for action. There are an abundance of intelligent, educated, honest, well-meaning people in the USA and China. We must get them into positions of power.......NOW.
Aug 1 2012: The question presented by Kevin is genuine and everyone needs to talk about it.
War was historically initiated is by an economic collapse. People can do insane things to cover their survival needs.
I'm not an economist but in my point of view US has to adjust his economic debt and China has to adjust his economic growth.
Neither US or China wants an economic collapse.
Aug 1 2012: we are at war already ..it's an economic one and china is winning and will continue to win as long as the rest of the worlds nations continue to try to grow their own GDP by feeding China's aggressive and non sustainable growth rate.
China will consume what it wants at needs at any price with anyone who will provide it to them. Political and economic control will begin to shift even further toward China and her bloc of resource provider allies.
Aug 1 2012: Krisztian,
I would say the U.S. has no weapons of any relevance in its arsenal against the economic war it is losing to China.
Once the $ U.S. is no longer the global trade currency it is all over and it is the U.S, who will be the 3rd world nation.
The Fed has held its false low interest rate for way too long and there is no place lower to go. When it is forced to abandon this strategy for masking how deep the trouble we are in really is, forced to raise interest rates, we are dead.
I wonder how much the Chinese are investing in Mitt Romney's campaign?
China and its trading partners will be pinging our drones out of the air everywhere their use threatens China's resource supply chain.
Aug 2 2012: Hey... It's not in the American character either... We never pick on people our own size : p
To be fair to us though, nothing China is doing, could drum up violent hatred in the US. We love Chinese people too much. We have issues with the government, not the people. They trick us into the wars in the middle east because the Christians and the Muslims still think they're fighting to control the world... as if they were even relevant anymore, lol. No one hates the Chinese here though, and as you say, China doesn't invade.
Aug 1 2012: O.K. a country with nuclear weapons ( a lot of them ) has never been attacked. Of course, if the world were larger and we were not so easily killed, there would be other more dangerous weapons as I guess there are. Of course we've been involved in wars. Gunboat games( see the Sanpeebles) A war to keep opium flowing into China (55 days in Peking) Where Charlton Veston plays Marine Captain Handsome Jack Meyers. Of course, I hope we the U.S. are not thought ill of because of WWII., but don'tr forget there revolution of 1049 and all that. Also don't forget the Korean War. So of course, there is war by proxy. Our nuclear sheilds should limit direct problems unless we are all idiots. Gee, we sometimes are.
Aug 1 2012: Sorry but without China there is no America as we no it anymore. Capitalism is based on buying power. America is low in that already let alone if all the affordable goods were to disappear of the shelves of Walmart. Ummmmm... Thef is all of that borrowed money the U.S. has borrowed from China too. Geez sorry to be the bearr of bad news but Chna is winning the "war" but if they weren't we would all be losing. No China does mean no U.S. but it also means n Canada because we are dependent on the American trade. Less so than before though and once we take our "dirty oil" elsewhere (China) even less than that. China is largely a benevolent force in the world criticized for having no scruples about who they lend or trade to. They are more Ferengi than Klingon in nature I think. Profit profit profit.... Which s ironic considering the system. Whatever you think of them old bad, first last, is irrelevent, we are a global community not a national one but you can call it whatever you want. If their screwed, you're screwed, we're all screwed.
Aug 1 2012: The relationship of China and the USA is complex, but IMO, all issues between the countries are insignificant compared with trade. The USA and China will not get into a war because a war would destroy the economy of both nations. The USA corporate leaders, who are the real decision makers in this country, will not allow war. The Chinese leaders know that they are very vulnerable to a people's revolution. A war with the USA would, almost overnight, put millions of Chinese workers out of work, and these unemployed would be angry and desperate and would have time to plot.
Unless the trade relationship between the two countries changes drastically, there will be no war.
Jul 31 2012: Perhaps China will transition to Democracy and free enterprise. Anything positive is possible. Maybe the Chinese people will awaken to the awareness of their power. Remember the American Revolution? Remember the French Revolution? Anything positive is possible. (Kevin, This is response to your comment, but, again, there was no "Reply" thing in your message for me to touch indirectly through my keyboard.)
Aug 1 2012: The Chinese would never just transition right then and their. Even of they decided to (which will never happen) it would take years to make any difference because you would have campaigns. The Chinese government doesn't want power for it's people and it's going to stay that way. If the Chinese people had power and knew what was going on in the world, there would be revolutions, and the Chinese government obviously won't let that happen.
Aug 1 2012: The Chinese will never do anything that would negatively impact the ability of the US or Europe to buy all the stuff they make. On another note, China isn't a communist nation, it is essentially a dictatorship that masquerades as a socialist entity. You should explore the real meaning of communism as you are a bright kid and would benefit from getting outside the US realm a bit.
Aug 2 2012: Kevin, I think you and the world would greatly benefit from you being optimistic and positive. It is possible that I am right about this. Thank you for considering it. You might try as an experiment controlling yourself to speak, act and think in a purely positive way for 24 hours and observe the results. I wonder if you are capable of doing that. I think you are.
Jul 31 2012: "Does anyone think that the U.S. and China will ever go to war?"
No - there is no so-heavily-vested economic interest. Anything else is SciFi, wherein we have a plethora of examples, but no probable actualities. The USA and China could easily go to war over OTHER interests, however; I hesitate to conjecture, but we can't ignore the primacy of manufacturing consortiums. They are power, they represent power, and this power is played openly in world politics. Most Americans disregard this reality.
Jul 31 2012: The U.S. and China will never co exist because china is still a communist country and the U.S. is obliviously a democracy. The reason I ask this question is because I believe that china is trying to commence in economic warfare and one day the government may come to it's senses and stop this at once. The way we can stop china is to cut off trade to it for about six months so that we can collapse it's economy. Unfortunately, this isn't being done. It would only benefit America. It would bring the American economy up to the top again.

Shentel strikes back at WJLA-TV owner
Cable company denies bad-faith negotiation over dropping Washington station from lineup
By Sally Voth -- email@example.com
EDINBURG -- Shentel Communications has struck back at Allbritton Communications Co.'s allegations that it engaged in bad-faith negotiations regarding retransmission fees for WJLA-7.
Allbritton Communications Co., which operates ABC 7 as well as Politico, a political newspaper and website, filed an emergency Federal Communications Commission petition last Thursday.
Shentel announced late last month it was dropping WJLA from Shenandoah County subscribers' cable lineup at the end of 2011 after failing to negotiate an acceptable price for the Washington affiliate of ABC. That left another ABC affiliate, Harrisonburg's WHSV, still available to viewers.
In its FCC petition, Allbritton accuses Shentel of reneging on its own offer submitted Nov. 10.
"On December 28, 2011, Shentel indicated its intention to reject its own contract terms, claiming in a phone call that the rates it ended up paying for WHSV limited its ability to pay for WJLA," it says.
Besides accusing Shentel of "sham negotiations," the petition says the Edinburg-based firm didn't provide Allbritton or subscribers sufficient notice of its decision.
On Monday, Shentel filed an opposition to the petition with the FCC denying it exercised bad faith. Allbritton had already rejected Shentel's offer and put forth a counter-offer before trying to then accept Shentel's offer.
"Moreover, Shentel formally notified ACC that negotiations were terminated two days before ACC attempted to accept Shentel's prior offer," the summary of Shentel's filing says. "ACC tries to evade this glaring and fatal flaw in its attack by emphasizing that Shentel did not immediately refuse all additional ACC-initiated communication subsequent to providing its December 20th Termination Notification. But ACC, having already failed in good faith negotiations, cannot unilaterally foist upon Shentel a new obligation to engage in a second round of negotiations."
Allbritton's seeking forfeiture penalties is "vengeful," the filing says. It says Shentel will refund customers' basic service charge from Jan. 1 if they cancel their service in January and say they are doing so because WJLA was dropped.
The opposition filing says Allbritton mishandled the negotiations. It says that counter-offers made by Allbritton terminated Shentel's Nov. 10 offer.
"It is well established that a counter-offer that does not mirror the offer itself constitutes a rejection of the original offer, and the party making the counter-offer gives up any right to accept the original offer thereafter," the filing says. "Notwithstanding ACC's hyperbolic criticisms of Shentel, the reality is that ACC erred in greedily overplaying its negotiating hand."
Shentel's Nov. 10 offer for WJLA was 25 percent higher than an offer it made a week earlier, and 500 percent higher than what it had been paying for the station, its filing says. Allbritton wanted to compare the proposed fee to what Shentel would pay for WSET in Lynchburg, but that area didn't have another ABC affiliate in the mix.
Shentel points to articles and advertisements in The Northern Virginia Daily in the weeks before it stopped retransmitting WJLA as providing notice to subscribers. The filing says Allbritton could have extended its agreement for a short time if it felt customers weren't given enough notice.
Shentel has an ally in the American Cable Association. In a news release issued Tuesday, its president and CEO, Matthew M. Polka, came down on the side of Shentel.
"It's quite apparent that Allbritton has hurled frivolous allegations at Shentel, which bravely decided to resist this broadcaster's effort to extract huge amounts of money for carriage of its ABC signal," he says in a statement.
The statement accuses Allbritton of trying to "gouge" Shenandoah County cable subscribers and of having "internal mismanagement."
The association believes Congress and the FCC should create a new retransmission consent laws.

Digital Friday/People
By James Glover
Once a Day Marketing
James Glover, That Branding Guy, provides the inspiration and ideas for you to build more mindshare and capture marketshare with your customers in his Once a Day Marketing blog. Tune in often to his short, entertaining and practical marketing and branding tips and watch your organization become more successful and profitable.
Hello, I'm Jim Glover, That Branding Guy, for Once a Day Marketing™. Today is Digital Friday and we are continuing our series on social meeting and specifically addressing LinkedIn's endorsements.
When you look at a connection on LinkedIn you have the ability to easily click on skill areas and expertise to endorse that person. This is an easier way for someone to share their vote of confidence without filling out the more in-depth LinkedIn recommendation.
I've followed numerous blog conversations on the endorsement feature and some LinkedIn members like it and others don't. Many receive legitimate endorsements from contacts who know them well. Others are getting endorsements from people they don't know and/or who wouldn't have any knowledge about their skills or expertise.
LinkedIn provides a way for your to turn this feature off if you don't wish to receive endorsements. But I see one other tremendous benefit. LinkedIn is a social media site. Each time someone shares an endorsement you instantly know two things: 1) who they are and 2) that they stopped by your LinkedIn site. To me it's another great indicator to see how well your social media marketing efforts are working.
Watch our Once a Day Marketing™ video to learn more: LinkedIn Groups Defined

Work is being done worldwide to reduce health disparities and improve access to healthcare for everyone. Dr. Aguilar-Gaxiola will discuss his work, both globally and in California, in translating research findings into public policies that lead to greater access to treatment and a higher quality of care for all populations. He will discuss, as a model, the California demographics and public health implications related to Autism Spectrum Disorder and discuss his role with the California Senate's Taskforce on Equity and Diversity for Regional Center Autism Services in addressing disparities in autism treatment. He will review the findings of the Taskforce and recent legislation that included Culturally and Linguistically Appropriate Services (CLAS) standards to be used with developmentally disabled individuals and their families. Finally, he will discuss how research on ASD and other psychological disorders can be translated and moved into improving practice and services.
Learning Objectives:
Over the past few years, there has been increased utilization of evidence-based treatments (EBTs) with youth across the state. While this expansion is welcomed by many, the implementation of EBTs has also been met with some resistance and skepticism. Of the many concerns raised, the effectiveness and application of EBTs beyond the Òivory towerÓ, for culturally diverse youth, and within community settings has been debated. Come join a lively discussion between a clinical researcher and community-based psychologist about the merits and utility of EBTs for children and adolescents within private practice and clinically-based settings.
Learning Objectives:
This master lecture will enhance understanding and prepare psychologists to transition into primary care settings by describing common models of integrated care as well as highlighting fundamental components of clinical implementation. The lecture will commence with a brief overview of the compelling reasons why integrated care is necessary for the success of the next generation of primary healthcare and the prominent role psychology can play in this transformation. Common professional pathways to integrated care as well as strategies to get your "foot in the door" will be discussed. Participants will also learn about and receive several resources and tools for clinical implementation, including behavioral health screening tools, strategies to identify and develop services that add demonstrable value to a specific primary care setting, as well as suggestions for measuring patient and programmatic outcomes. The requisit skills to effectively consult with and work collaboratively with primary care providers will be described. Pearls and common pitfalls of integration will be shared.
This Master Lecture is sponsored by CPA's Division of Clinical and Professional Practice (Division I)
Learning Objectives:
Every day psychologists engage in complex interactions with clients, peers and the public. There are always questions. Can I text with my suicidal teenage patient? Should I write a letter of recommendation on my letterhead for a friend who wants to adopt? Can I talk to my spouse about a difficult session? Can I go to my supervisee's wedding? Is it unethical to engage in a practice that's not diverse or evidence based? Can I say yes if a client offers to write a positive review on Yelp? Should I create a DSM diagnosis in order to justify a third-party payment? Navigating the waters of professional practice isn't easy, and it gets more complex all the time, so join the conversation with Dr. Donner, Dr. Harmell, and Dr. Zur and share your ideas about we can look at the intersection of rules, ethics, and professional behavior.

Data Updates
Keeping you up to date on the latest data releases.
September 2014
- 03.18.2010
- The CPI was flat (0.0 percent annualized rate) during the month, as energy prices slipped down 6.3 percent in February, following a 39 percent jump in January. The core CPI edged up 0.6 percent (annualized rate) in February, and has only ticked up 0.1 percent over the past three months, pulling its 12-month growth rate down from 1.6 percent in January to 1.3 percent. Measures of underlying inflation trends produced by the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland—the median and 16 percent trimmed-mean CPI—were mixed in February. The median CPI actually posted its first annualized monthly decrease since December 1982, ticking down 0.3 percent in February. The 16 percent trimmed-mean CPI increased a slight 0.5 percent. On a year-over-year basis, the trim is up 1.1 percent, while the median CPI has risen just 0.8 percent (a series low). Softness was evident in the price change distribution, as a majority of the consumers' marketbasket (51 percent) posted outright price declines in February. Categories of note in the lower tail: apparel, household furnishings and operations, personal care services, recreation, and some of the regional OER indexes. On the other end of the distribution, a little over 23 percent of the index (by expenditure weight) rose at rates exceeding 3 percent, with 21 percent rising at rates greater than 5 percent. In this tail, large and continued increases in used auto prices and medical care commodities is helping to hold up the overall index.

More reviews by persianprincess00
WOW! This is a great concealer. I have it in beige 1 which is a bit light for my skin in the summer time, so I think I'm going to switch to beige 2. I use this under my eyes in the morning and it works so well! Covers any darkness that I have...you can't even tell I got 4 hours of sleep the night before. haha. I used to use the MAC select cover up, but it was waaaay too thick and heavy for me. It made my under eye area very dry and cakey looking. The Mary Kay concealer only costs 10 dollars, and works a lot better on me than MAC.
A few weeks ago I tried a friend's concealer (In Ivory 2 - I use MAC Studio Finish in NC20) because i forgot mine and let me just say WOW... i am really amazed at this product since I never really liked this brand so much. But this concealer gave me so much coverage and it blended PERFECTLY in my combination-to-oily skin I didn't even have to use foundation (a HUGE deal for me) and it is so cheap that I had to get it. I think this concealer is my new HG concealer. I MIGHT just stop using foundation daily. Will definitely repurchase as many times as I have to.
EDIT: I use this mostly to spot-cover blemishes, my under eye circles aren't really a problem for me.
I have both Ivory(for winter) and Beige(for summer). I love the coverage and consistency. It's not too thin, or thick and it's not cakey at all. I have some redness and dark circles and it covers them up perfectly. I've been using this for years and don't plan on stopping anytime soon.
This is my HG concealer. I've tried looking for other concealers, they're either too liquidy or too pasty and cakey. This is the perfect consistency and pigmentation for me. It has GREAT pigmentation. I read about the yellow tone this has. Yeah, it does have a yellow tone, however, I NEED the yellow in it since I have yellow/golden undertones anyway. So, This is perfect for me. I've been with this concealer for over 4 years. It's simply awesome. Oh and the pigmentation works great for acne scars and sun spots. =D
Repurchase? lol Why of course!
I was surprised by the good reviews on this. I've been using this concealer for a while but only because I get it for cheap. I do like the shade of the one I use, which is 'Yellow,' but I find it difficult and time consuming to get an even layer. I don't think the texture is thick enough. My under eye circles aren't even dark but it doesn't cover them very well in my opinion.
Loved it! Worked great for my skin - perfect color match as well.
I have this in Bronze. It's perfect for concealing anything and it is water proof. However, I've had to train myself to use very little. It's really concentrated, and there have been countless times in which I've regretted squirting out too much. But with this recession and all, it's nice to know my hard- earned dollars went to a product well worth the money!
Nice product...I like the consistency and the coverage. Was my go-to product about 5 yrs ago. Great for hyperpigmentation resulting from acne. I use light bronze. My skin is NC42.

More reviews by pretebrowneyes
I've been using this for about a year and can't complain. It's gives awesome under eye coverage but still looks natural enough to wear without foundation or powder. I do get a little creasing during the day but nothing terrible.
*Update* I'm NC45 in MAC terms and have Mary Kay concealer in light bronze. The color works well for me.
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I have massive dark circles, they are hereditary so no eye cream will ever fix them. I have tried just about all concealers on the market and this has done the job for me. It does not dry my eye area like MAC and conceals really well. It is also builbable for those days I have black circles. I use the beige one, I am NC 30, I have also used the yellow one on the lid area and it is VERY good. I recommend this concealer for those with dark circles and a yellowish skin undertone.

the brooklyn kinfolk dinner.
how I wish I could have been there. Doesn't it look just absolutely amazing?
"The Kinfolk dinner took place in Brooklyn last night. A lovely celebration held in The Green Building in Carol Gardens. Exposed brick, high ceilings, great light, a long table made of salvaged wood and candles everywhere. A chance to finally meet many familiar faces. So many extraordinaire creatives all in one space. The dinner was catered by the Jewels of New York. A lovely family style spread of assorted plates including; a winter green salad with a grapefruit, a roasted pork tenderloin stuffed with figs, leek bread pudding, celery root and potato mash and to finish a pomegranate pavlova. The food and the company superb, I had a lovely time. Wine was flowing freely and fantastic cocktails were served. With so many talented photographers there the internet will soon be blowing up with the fabulous images from the event. I will be sure to link everyone as well. A story I contributed will be in the summer issue of Kinfolk Magazine. Learn more about Kinfolk Dinners here.
Partners of the event included, West Elm, Jewels of New York, Vinegar Hill House, Honey of a Thousand Flowers, Finger Lakes Distillery, The Green Building, Crop to Cup, Woolwich Dairy,Crumpler, Saipua, Mast Brothers, Brooklyn Slate, Honey Ridge Farms, Karlsson's, Type A Press, Frances Palmer Pottery, Sixpoint Brewery, The Stand, Pushcart Coffee, Ariel Dearie and Jarlsberg."

Mike Plaskett and Dale Abraham, co-hosts of Rhythm Sweet & Hot , have a nice primer on the 1930s output of Artie Shaw at the NPR website.
Shaw was a prickly character... he had eight (count'em!) wives, for starters.
Fond of self-sabotage, he disliked performing many of his commercially successful pieces. "I thought that because I was Artie Shaw I could do what I wanted," he once told a reporter, "but all they wanted was 'Begin the Beguine.'"
Well, yes. It was Begin the Beguine. Nothing else has, to date, ever brought the beguine in similar fashion. (Artie Shaw would have HATED that sentence.)
Anyhoo, difficult artist. Go figure. Go read Mike & Dale's article.

The new year promises to be a significant one for Powell as the community celebrates its centennial.
Over the past year, the Powell Centennial Committee began prepping for the milestone with a lecture series and other events. This year, much more is planned — gatherings, lectures, a beard contest in honor of the town's namesake, John Wesley Powell, and a calendar featuring 365 interesting tidbits of Powell history.
Each issue of the Powell Tribune in 2009 will carry one of those notable facts on the front page.
Powell's Centennial is a chance for its residents — present and former — to reflect on the people and events that have shaped Powell since its inception.
Those events include the oil discovery in Elk Basin, the completion of the Buffalo Bill Dam, the establishment of local schools and the development of homesteads and businesses.
People shaping Powell's history include the internationally acclaimed W. Edwards Deming, a 1917 Powell High School graduate who helped raise Japan to a world economic power, and the infamous bank robber Earl Durand.
As Powell celebrates its centennial during the next 12 months, residents will have opportunities to learn about its history, appreciate the community for what it has become and establish a foundation for its next 100 years.

I think it's true, not just in our business, I think it's true culturally. Everything has to be candid, has to be direct. It has to be commercially accessible. And I think that we're pretty…well stuck with that. I guess the big point I'm trying to make is that films have always been commercial, you know. And I think that no one ever wants to make a film and say, "I don't want anybody to see it," but people did say, "I want to make this film, and I want to make this film because of…because I believe in it." It has to do with your view of life, it has to do with what you consider being an artist is.

Clarksville Student Suspended For Knife In Father's Car
CLARKSVILLE, Tenn - A high school student in Montgomery County has been suspended after school officials found a knife inside his father's car.
David Duren-Sanner should be spending his time going through college and scholarship applications this time of year.
Instead, he's wondering if he'll even be able to graduate after what hundreds of people are calling an overreaction to a mistake.
On Thursday, Duren-Sanner, a senior at Northeast High School drove his father's car to school. During a random lockdown, his car was chosen to be searched.
Duren-Sanner gave permission because he said he had nothing to hide.
His father is a commercial fisherman on the West Coast and had apparently left a fishing knife in the car. Duren-Sanner's father said it might have been wedged between one of the seats.
Duren-Sanner said he told school officials and the Sheriff's department the car was his father's and he didn't know the knife was in it.
"He's like 'it doesn't matter it was in your possession anyway,'" Duren-Sanner said.
School officials suspended him for 10 days, the maximum allowed under school policy, and then he was reprimanded to attend 90 days at an alternative school.
Peggy Duren is Duren-Sanner's grandmother whom he lives with. She said she tried explaining the knife didn't belong to her grandson, but claims school officials wouldn't listen.
"Unfortunately (the vice principal) said that's the way it is now: Guilty until proven innocent. It's part of this zero tolerance policy," she said."
Duren-Sanner has an appeal hearing on Wednesday with the school board.
If his punishment is upheld, Duren-Sanner will not be able to attend prom, his JROTC ball or walk at graduation. His family said it's unclear whether he'll be able to graduate at all.
Duren said her grandson has a 3.0 grade point average, is on the honor roll and he has never even been sent to the principal's office She said scholarship applications have stopped since it is unclear what her grandson's future is.
Duren-Sanner also faces weapons charges with the Montgomery County Sheriff's Department.
An online petition has garnered more than 600 signatures in support of Duren-Sanner. The petition urges school officials to drop all charges against him, end his suspension and not punish him for days missed.
Repeated requests for comment from the Clarksville-Montgomery County School System were not responded to.

Nope still seeing SE

Short answer is that we have no idea when some of the things will work. StackExchange is still in beta, and they are both fixing bugs, and adding features all the time. There are large portions of the admin system that are still pretty ropey. For example, you'll notice that I've actually got two accounts as I had an account from before we got the DNS entries right. Every time I try and merge them I get exceptions happening!

Lyndsay Morrison, staff writer
May 6, 2011 — Anxious to do some barbecuing this spring? The Weather Network has some safety tips to consider before you fire up the grill.
With the weather starting to warm up in most parts of the country, many Canadians are celebrating the return of barbecue season.
Still, experts suggest giving your bbq a quick check-up after those long winter months. Snow can cause broken lines and corroded parts, which could pose a fire hazard.
Andrew Pitre, a fire fighter in Moncton, New Brunswick, is also known as the BBQ doctor. He suggests checking the propane connections for leaks before sparking up the grill.
The first thing I would do is make the proper connection. Do a visual inspection to make sure there is no damage in the hose and you can use a soapy water solution to make sure there are no obvious leaks, says Pitre. Just like a bicycle tire the pressure inside is going to create a bubble with soapy water. That's an easy thing that someone can do themselves that is all about safety.
Pitre says the next step is to check over the burner.
As time goes on it's gona rust and then eventually it's going to have a hole in it or a hole gets plugged up. So a quick visual inspection to make sure it's operating the way it should is the key.
If in doubt, Pitre says change it out, as it is better to be safe than sorry.
Many Canadians are already busy barbecuing, and will likely continue to be right through the summer months. If you haven't fired up the grill yet this season, here are some additional suggestions to be aware of:

"'The report I heard in my country about your deeds and your wisdom is true,' she told the king. 'I did not believe the report until I came and saw with my own eyes that not even the half had been told me. Your wisdom and prosperity surpass the report I heard.'" (1 KINGS 10:6-7)
What is the one thing that once you have it can never be taken away? Wisdom.
One of the most wise men in history was King Solomon. He was so wise that people throughout the world knew of him. This was in the era before mass communication - no television, phone or Internet - and still he was known far and wide. This is in direct contradiction to who our current celebrities are, many who are known for their lack of wisdom rather than anything else.
We are tested daily, much like the Queen of Sheba tested Solomon. We are always looking for an excuse to prove God wrong, to trick Him. We, instead, should be looking for ways to praise Him and prove Him right consistently. When the Queen of Sheba realized how truly wise Solomon was, her demeanor changed and she went from questions to blessings. We need to do that, too. We need to remember that God is truly wise and knows what is best for us.

Each day along this pathway may I truly find,
Serene inner strength and lasting peace of mind.

The Wheeling Nailers, the ECHL affiliate of the Pittsburgh Penguins and Montreal Canadians, went on a southern road trip this past week, starting with a trip to Greenville, South Carolina to take on the Road Warriors, the New York Rangers affiliate, last Thursday night.
Wheeling went up against Buffalo Sabers 2009 sixth round draft pick Connor Knapp, who had just been assigned to Greenville from the AHL, and struggled to solve him. Wheeling trailed 2-0 off of goals from Greenville's Marc-Olivier Vallerand in the second period and Ryan Flanigan early in the third until the deficit was cut to one, 5:27 into the final frame when Penguins 2010 sixth round draft pick Reid McNeill put Wheeling on the board with his first professional goal, but that would be as close as the Nailers got, as Greenville's Chad Ziegler added an empty netter and the Road Warriors walked away with a 3-1 win. Knapp stopped 34 of 35 shots for Greenville, while Montreal Canadians prospect Peter Delmas made 34 saves on 36 shots for Wheeling in the loss.
Wheeling showed several positive signs in the game like holding Greenville off the board on two power play opportunities. Wheeling has at times struggled with toughness and push back this season, especially recently, but showed improvement on that front as Joe Tolles and Christiaan Minella dropped the gloves in the contest. Wheeling was unable to convert on any of their five power plays, including one with less than seven minutes to go in the third as they were trying to tie the game.
Friday night Wheeling headed to Gwinnett, Georgia to take on the Gladiators, looking for a better result. A wild first period saw Wheeling goals from Cam Fergus, Paul Crowder and Chris Barton as the Nailers took a 3-2 lead to the middle frame. In the second, Barton and Former Nailer Casey Pierro-Zabotel traded goals and the game went to the third with Wheeling leading, 4-3. Wheeling was sitting in good shape after a Minella goal early in the period gave them a 5-3 lead, but a three point period from former Nailer Joey Haddad led the Gladiators comeback and Wheeling fell 6-5.
Team captain Peter Merth and Zack Torquato both had three assists in the loss and the Nailers were three for four on the power play as offense was not by any means the problem. In the third period, Gwinnett simply wanted it more and the Nailers defense struggled to keep up with them. In the situation Wheeling is in, on the outside looking in as far as the playoff race is concerned, the Nailers need to be the desperate team that wants it more late in games.
Monday afternoon in Greenville, the Nailers were the team that wanted it more. Flanigan had the lone goal in the first period for Greenville, before Penguins 2007 second round draft pick Keven Veilleux netted a power play goal at 5:21 of the second period to even the score. Tolles again stepped up and dropped the gloves late in the middle frame and the teams headed to the third tied at one. Barton put Wheeling on top 6:25 into the third, but the Road Warriors came back with a Sean Berkstresser goal and the game headed to overtime, and eventually a shootout. Barton netted the lone goal and Delmas turned away all five Road Warriors shooters and Wheeling pulled out a 3-2 win.
Barton had a goal and an assists in regulation and netted the shootout winner for Wheeling, coming off a two goal performance in Gwinnett. Barton is streaky scorer and seems to be riding a hot streak at a good time for the Nailers, who now sit seven points out of a playoff spot.
The Nailers head back on the road this week, playing in Toledo Friday night, in Cincinnati Saturday night, in Fort Wayne Sunday, and in Elmira next Wednesday to take on their bitter rival the Jackals. The Nailers need every standings point they can get from here on out if they want to make the playoffs. The contest in Elmira next Wednesday is pivotal to the Nailers playoff hopes as the Jackals are the team Wheeling is chasing for the eighth and final playoff spot with just over a month to go in the 2012-13 regular season.

Rated 4.1 out of 5 by 1054 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by mfcdvm Great place to stay Close to everything downtown, December 8, 2011
Rated 2 out of 5 This hotel needs work on the basics We are loyal Starwood Gold members and we were very dissapointed with our stay at the Sheraton Seattle. We usually stay at the W in Seattle and have always had great experiences. Needless to stay, we will be back at the W for our next visit. While the staff was all polite, they made mistake after mistake on our visit. We had confirmed a suite two months ago only to find out that they were all sold out of suites upon check in. Then they lost my luggage at the Bell Desk for about 3 hours, even though I had a claim check and the bag had my I.D. on it. Then, my wife ordered room service and was served raw steak in the tacos that looked like it had been left out for days. When she returned it, they offered to make her a salad without bleu cheese and with the dressing on the side. This was personally delivered by the Chef over an hour later (who was very kind to have done so) who confirmed that there was no cheese on the saled. When she opened the saled, it was covered with Bleu Cheese and dressing. Since it had taken so long for the salad to arrive, it was after midnight and the kitchen was closed. My wife is nursing her newborn and it is very frustrating that she wasn't able to eat. The hotel is very nicely appointed but they really need to work on the basics. August 20, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by Trish1957 Convenient location The only negative thing to say would be that my room was not cleaned until 4:00-4:30 every day and we stayed for 6 days. We had to call twice to have someone come to clean it. July 23, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Bobolicious Convenient location for conference attendees This is a nice hotel. The lobby area is very nice and everything was functional in the clean guest rooms. July 24, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Jacqlyn40 Great For Conferences Great for proximity to convention center for conferences and local attractions July 24, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Chucrew Perfect Location We really enjoyed our stay, overall. Pros: Beautiful hotel, great location for sightseeing and proximity to train station made this a wonderful choice for our hotel in Seattle for 2 nights. We loved the clean, comfortable and quiet room. The indoor pool is gorgeous and sunsets from this view are stunning. Cons: We are SPG Gold. We were recognized with very quick check-in at SPG desk and awarded bonus amenity right away. However, SPG Club level was full so no special room, but not really a problem for us. 2 water bottles in room- great. Our problem was that we could not secure a late check out (hotel was sold out), which we understood. Until we found out that another family member (who is also SPG and SVN member) in another room did get late check out and the Green Choice option, which we were not offered. They also had a slightly larger room, despite checking in a day after us. IMPORTANT NOTE TO SPG: This is a lovely hotel. However, not getting SPG Club, no Green Choice points earning option and no late check out for us equalled a very average SPG experience. Hotel should be able to offer additional SPG points when they cannot fulfill SPG perks for Gold & Platinum members. We enjoyed our stay, but were disappointed that we didn't get to enjoy same perks that our other family member receieved. July 17, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by snowball1812 Hotel is very comfortable and good location. Really enjoyed the service and excellent location to everything down town. July 24, 2014

Rated 4 out of 5 by SeattleLover This hotel is conveniently located and offers a good guest experience This hotel offers all the amenities required by a busy business traveller and provides a good guest experience. You are also able to enjoy the room undisturbed and contributed to environmental sustainability by selecting the "green" option. July 21, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by HP14 Excellent but Someone is Smoking I had my usual excellent experience at your property, but could smell cigarette smoke creeping into my room in the late evening. Not sure you could do anything about that but thought I would let you know someone is not respecting the law! July 21, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Holidayfun Special Deals My stay at the hotel was very comfortable, as I expected from the Sheraton. One of the reasons I chose the Sheraton was the special deal offered on the holiday Duck Tour of Seattle. Since I booked my reservation by phone, no one by phone at the reservation site, nor at the Seattle hotel was able to give the the 20% discount. The Duck Tours were willing to give me the discount if I had the promotional code the Sheraton offered. The last time I called the Seattle Sheraton, I was told that they'd call me back. Since I never received a call back, I went ahead and booked directly with the Duck Tour as to not spoil the holiday plans I made for my sister. December 7, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by Elle85 Expectations not met The Sheraton's high standard was not achieved in my stay at the Seattle downtown location. Our bathroom looked as though it had not been cleaned. The toilet had toilet paper left in it. The sink area had glass ring stains, there were hairs on the edge of the bathtub, and the soap in the bathtub was out of its packaging and looked used. I complained to the reception staff and asked for my bathroom to be cleaned. When I returned after dinner nothing had changed. At that point I felt like there was no point complaining to the hotel staff further. The rest of the room looked good and was comfortable, but as you can imagine we were overall disappointed. July 22, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by TandT Very Accommodating This hotel was very accommodating to our needs. We came in for the Emerald City Comic Book Convention. We arrived earlier than the check-in time and were immediately placed into a room with our choice of a lower or higher level. Due to car service, we also needed to schedule a late check-out, which was immediately accommodated. We were advised of time limits, cost and free baggage holding, if we chose that option. I also loved that there was a Fed Ex office located inside the hotel for our shipping needs. And we used the 15% discount offered in the Daily Grill for hotel guests. I would definitely stay at this location on our return trip to Seattle. March 6, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by jupper Union Street Tower - mid level room I booked a one week stay at the Sheraton Seattle a couple of weeks back. Upon check-in I was explained about the two towers, but not about the additional exit (which would've save me a couple of soaks in the downpours) at the Union Street tower. Staff was quick, but nobody was manning the station where an SPG floormat was present, so I opted for the regular line. I was given a room in the smaller Union street tower, about halfway up across from the elevators, though I barely heard them. Room had a nice view onto Union square. Room was nice, though chilly, even with the thermostat set well beyond 70F/21C, the windowsill was extremely cold, some good insulation might do wonders for their heating bill and guests comfort. Bathroom was a bit awkward in regards to where everything was placed, but it worked. I was in a connecting room, and despite my misgivings about those, the wall and door were properly soundproofed, so I was happy. Newspaper (USA today) delivery was spotty, but I had no need for it anyway, but for people who like it, it could be a bit frustrating. Service staff was very pleasant throughout my stay and offered helpful advice when asked about options for transport and entertainment. The small coffee and refreshment shop downstairs has limited opening hours, but is a good one-stop place when on the go. All in all, conveniently next to the WSCC and a pleasant stay. November 6, 2011
Rated 5 out of 5 by Mbierman services This hotel was great. I loved the option to not have maid service July 23, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Ron1944 Conference stay Room and Staff were great. Towels were thin, cheap and not soft. July 23, 2014

Rated 4 out of 5 by RellimD Options I especially like the ability of having housekeeping optional. July 23, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Wingtipflyer1 Nice downtown location Very good hotel, clean, professional staff, & heart of downtown. None of the Seattle hotels participate in latest SPG promotion. Thumbs down! I'm not someone on a summer cruise, I'm a businessperson who CHOSE your property/ brand. Please consider to join the promos next time. July 19, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Shiny This hotel is perfectly located You are so close to pikes market, walking du Instance to the space needle . Surrounded by shops and restaurants July 22, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by NYMINUTE09 The hotel is in a great location Sheraton Seattle is in a great location to the Pike Market, Convention Center, Shopping, and Seattle Center. July 22, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Erika75 Excellent experience We took our girls for a trip to the city and thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Sheraton. Rooms are very nice and beds are amazing! We loved swimming in the pool as well. The hotel is great for families and business travelers. It's also located a block from pacific place, Nordstrom, and all of the great downtown shopping . Couldn't ask for a better location. Since we are starwood members, the hotel offered us a late check out free of charge for 4:00. Most importantly was the fact that we forgot our iPad but they saved it for us in the lost and found. I really appreciate the honesty of the employees. We will definitely stay here again! April 12, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Weldon2013 THE HOTEL IS LOCATED WITHIN BLOCKS OF THE WATERFRONT AND MAJOR DEPARTMENTS The hotel is located about 20 miles from the airport. 24 hours paid private shuttle available to and from airport. Light rail is available to and from the airport for about $5.00 one way about twenty minutes travel time rail station a couple of blocks from the hotel. We checked in early in the afternoon only one room was available. We stored our luggage in the room. The second room was adjoining and was ready about one hour later. The rooms were large. The work table was large and plenty of electrical connection for accessories. There were plenty of drawers for storing of clothing. The bathroom sink counter top was large with plenty of room to place personal items. There is a bathtub with an overhead shower. The floor was tile. The room lighting was very good. There was one end table between the two double beds with two lamps. The end table had a large drawer that accommodates personal items. The lower shelf was large enough two store two or more pairs of shoes. The Internet speed was very good no connection problems. The hotel has very good elevator service little if any delays waiting for an elevator. I recommend the City Grill for lunch in the hotel. We had lunch there a couple of times very good service. The Soup and Sandwich or Soup and Salad combinations are very good. There Lunch Menu is extensive. There are several clothing stores within a couple of block from the hotel. Nordstrom and Macy are a couple of blocks away from the hotel. The Pike Street Market is a couple of blocks away. The waterfront is a few blocks away. August 10, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by SonOfAlex Great location This hotel is in a great location right across the street from the Washington State Convention Center. I have stayed here a couple times, and have enjoyed great service. I was given a room that smelled like smoke, even though it was a non-smoking room. The front desk staff was very helpful and found that the room next door was available and moved me right away. July 15, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by SC12guy The blame game Attending the Supercomputing conference gave me the opportunity to try Sheraton again. With status in two other hotel systems, the opportunity to try another brand was something I was looking forward to. I generally enjoyed my stay but interaction with the staff reflected a strained and ineffective human resource management approach. The cleaning lady on my floor seemed panicked when I dropped a bag off in my room and proceeded to leave with the second for the convention center. The staff at the front desk blamed each other when one of our developers didn't have the corporate payment system in her reservation and she had to call me. The bell stand blamed numerous people including some of our staff when we tried to track a small packaged shipped to the hotel but misplaced. Speaking to others at the conference, many organizations seemed to have a similar experience. One other curious mention, I used a credit card branded under a competing system on check-in. The staff immediately tried to sign me up for a SPG branded card. I explained that I was trying SPG premium hotels and might move corporate business if we enjoyed the stay. We charged employee team rooms to AMEX and the other hotel branded card. Staff members never thanked us for trying the brand, noted these details on our records, attempted to put our team together, and seemed generally put out when I presented the card I was carrying to pay for more inbound staff members. How can a hotel chain be so indifferent to switching corporate accounts from other brands? In summary, the considerable money spent to make the hotel attractive, convenient, and functional is mitigated by poor management. November 22, 2011

Culture and history
So what's it like?
The popular neighbouring resorts of Cadenabbia, Tremezzo and Menaggio lie together on the sunny western shore of Lake Como, with superb views across the lake to Bellagio. Menaggio and Bellagio are the larger of the four resorts, with a buzzing cosmopolitan atmosphere and quaint cobbled streets. The adjacent villages of Tremezzo and Cadenabbia hug the road from Como to Switzerland and provide great bases for exploring. In addition to their colourful lakeside hotels, shops and pavement cafés, all resorts are well connected with each other by boat and for short trips to other parts of the lake.
Relax and discover
Local culture
One of Italy's most prestigious and romantic lakes, Lake Como is a place for relaxation and indulgence. Beautiful turquoise waters are surrounded by traditional Venetian villas and attractive lakeside villages. Sip a macchiato outside one of the many cafes and dream of owning one of the villas in the distance. The Gardens of Villa Carlotta are not to be missed. And for the film buff, you can visit the 16th century Villa Balbianello, used as Mr White's hideaway in Casino Royale. For the adrenalin junkies maybe a high speed boat trip on the lake is more your thing, or how about paragliding from the top of the mountain? We'd also recommend zooming around the lake on a speed boat - get your binoculars ready for spotting the glitterati.
Evening atmosphere
Get to know the locals in one of the bars in Cadenabbia or head along to cosmopolitan Menaggio and devour a 4 course meal overlooking the pretty piazza. To find the buzz, catch the ferry across to Bellagio where you can wander into the endless artisan shops before settling down in one of George Clooney's favourite watering holes for a well earned Spritz.
Private Transfers
Available from £337 (return)
Getting about
There are frequent ferry connections across and down the length of Lake Como. From Como, reachable by bus, there is a regular rail service to Milan. Guests staying in Bellagio need to take the ferry for transfers and will need to transport their luggage.
Twin centre suggestion
Why not combine a stay with the Grand Hotel Cadenabbia in Cadenabbia, Lake Como with a stay at the Hotel Simplon in Baveno, Lake Maggiore; call us to book this perfect combination to enjoy two Italian lakes in one holiday. Transfer to your second centre is by private taxi transfer.

Me and Davey's 'date' :D Review for more.
I looked at him over the table of food, "You'll have to ask him when we get back to his room."
"It was that good, huh?" He grinned as I rolled my eyes.
"You're an ass."
"Yes, but one sexy ass."
"I'm sexier."
"Yes huh!"
"We'll have to heave Jade settle that one."
"But he'll choose you because you're his band mate."
"No, he'll choose you because after you took that shower and you were walking back and forth, Jade couldn't keep his eyes off of you, you even made the poor guy horny."
I gave him a 'How-the-hell-would-you-know' look. He apparently got its meaning.
"I had to satisfy him while you were blow drying your hair."
"I don't even blow dry my hair."
"Well you don't sleep in the same bed as him."
"At least I don't have to say in one with you."
"You might tonight." I gave him a weird look. "Hunter and Adam are combining rooms with us for the night so all our stuff is together for the drive to our next gig."
Oh shit.
A/N: What do you all think now? Is the story playing our alright for you all? Review and tell me. :D
