Rated 1 out of 5 by revrdk Very Disappointed Unlike my intial stay, I was very disappointed with this overnight stay. The service was "horrible" and borderline biased. December 5, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Noemi The best customer care service The hotel is amazing, But the service was better. Just feel the pool area should stay open a little bit longer since it's the summer. August 7, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by gaprince An excellent stay This was my first stay in a number of years and I must saw it met every best possible standard. I will definately stay here again. July 12, 2012
Rated 1 out of 5 by michelle Horrible No power, rude staff, no hot water...all night without a back-up generator. No wake-up call, really what else could go wrong. March 14, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Storm62 Nice Launching Point for NYC Overall, a pleasant stay. Front desk late night personnel was especially helpful. The room was comfortable, as expected. The only significant misstep was at our only meal taken at the hotel. We just missed brunch on Saturday; so, we ordered from the lunch menu. As an example, the BLT seemed composed of leftover bacon pieces from the earlier brunch (plentiful but fragmented and unheated). The lettuce was brown-edged and the bread a bit rubbery. The coffee had a distinct brunt taste and was never served hot. Generally, this food experience was much below what I have come to expect at Starwood properties over years of business and personal travel. May 21, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Mayur658 Great outside appearance and large rooms Great First Impression, Nice and large rooms and helping staff. August 22, 2012
Rated 3 out of 5 by Nicole367 A little fristrated Same menu at the pub and Jesters court. To eat from the Menu there was an hr wait. The menu which is the same Buffet was disgusting food. High priced food should be good. Not dried out Mac and Cheese and boiled hotdogs for 18.95 ..Not only did we have to pay basically 20 bucks to eat per person ..BUT after going to the buffet we come back to our table where an EMPLOYEE (waiter) is on his CELL PHONE SITTING at our table ..With our stuff on it ..my husband puts his plate down in front of the guy and he rolls his eyes at us!!!! After asking him to remove himself from the table TWICE ..I asked a waitress to please get him out of our table! !!! 3.50 per 12.oz can of Coke ..I can understand a raise in prices because it IS a hotel but really?? 3.50? Our TV didnt work in our room ..The front desk said they would take care of it ..never happened ..No one ever fixed it ..It had sound, no picture ..There was hair in our shower, which is gross ..I got charged 3 days of internet when I was there two nights, and they refuse to take the one charge off ..There was a lot more ..I think for now on I will stay at another hotel ..Not happy ...I will be putting my reviews on a few blogs and papers if some one doesnt make an effort to fix things ...

Rated 5 out of 5 by MFrankfurt Great stay & Excellent staff We have been staying here a few weekends out of the summer and we quite enjoy our time here. The hotel has beautiful grounds and is kept very clean. The rooms are nice and spacious. The hotel staff are very professional and courteous. Upon check- in we were met by Pratika & Vanessa, who were both very kind professional. They happened to remember us from a prior visit, which was nice. The hotel has two salt-water swimming pools, which were a bit crowded, but that is expected for a summer weekend. The hotel has a restaurant with great food and excellent service. Thomas helped us in the restaurant. He created some tasty cocktails and provided some delicious food recommendations. Thomas spoke to our kids as if they were adults and the children enjoyed the attention. The Starwood Preferred Guest Club Lounge was good also. They had a security guard, which was perfect. It kept order to who was supposed to be there, vs. other people trying to sneak it to abuse it. Unfortunately, in a past visit, we experience some unkind people apparently feeling entitled to get in, when they were not supposed to be there. For those of you who are visiting, it is worth getting the upgrade to the lounge. It is a nice touch, as you are provided a light appetizer/meal in the evening, then breakfast in the morning. Alyssa, in the club lounge, was wonderful. She was very attentive and personable. August 26, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by skiwater Beautiful property We attended this property for a wedding. All events were timely and the banquet staff was the best I have ever seen. My only comment would be a map possibly of the hotel as our events were scattered and when I asked the front desk agent I was told we don't have any but I could tell you. That was helpful but a property map with room names would be very helpful. July 7, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by Nicole367 Never again I thought after my last horrible experience, we would try ONE last time this hotel. Since its convenient to what we were going for. I was wrong. Long black hairs in the bed and dirty pillows! REALLY? My husband is bald and I have brown hair, wasnt ours! Bathroom, same color hair on the shower walls, GROSS! First morning go to the buffet for breakfast. Martin, our waiter said NOT ONE word to us! After our meal was half over I asked a hostess, who our waiter was. Them Martin came, but the black thing with the check on the table, and walks away. Not "would you like a drink?" not a have a nice day ..NOTHING. Like who does that? So NO tip for him. It is lovely having a breakfast with no one offering you anything. Not even to check up on us ..I really wanted to like this hotel. Do not think any more chances will be given. Our points were still not added, even though we have stayed at this hotel before. We put the sign on the door for the extra points or the voucher. Never got it. When we left Sunday, it was still on the door. The extra things I requested were never sent up. Not recognized at all as a SPG member. No fridges available. Good thing I brought a cooler. Had to park far from the hotel!! If you are having a convention and they are not staying at the hotel, how come the people who ARE staying at the hotel can not park AT the hotel. I have a terminally ill husband who needs a double hip replacement and you cant even park at the hotel where you are staying. I am so disappointed. Unless they are going to give my husband and I a free weekend with free meals as a get away as a sign of things might change, no thanks. I will write my reviews in all the papers that I have and to all my friends who were thinking about coming here. Yes, I do have a lot of celeb friends and have multiple critics to that rate hotels. Its really sad when an employee tells me about another hotel near by ..that is cleaner, friendlier, cheaper AND has hot tubs. She said she wouldn't stay at that hotel. If they wont, why would I? October 29, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by DonnaMarie Staff quickly fixed problem Overall I will be back, thankfully because of the attention my room was given after I saw some problems. These were not "little" problems. I only complained about the one, which was the fact that my bed sheets were stained and had hair everywhere when I pulled the comforter back. I WAS SHOCKED, TO SAY THE LEAST! I did call the front desk and they sent housekeeping up to redo the bed. It sill bothered me though. Especially since the glasses in the bathroom were filthy as well. I did not complain about that, I just didn't use them. I did expect more from such a nice hotel. June 2, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by MOC2013 This hotel is an outrage I booked my elderly parents for two nights at the Sheraton Parsippany Hotel as a Christmas gift. I paid extra for the handicap room, thinking they would be more comfortable. We arrived about 6:30 PM on Friday evening. There was no one at the front desk. After about ten minutes, I asked the doorman to assist. My parents, at 81 and 82 years old, have difficulty standing for extended periods. The doorman returned after another five to ten minutes. The staff, it seems, were "busy". We finally checked in. I got my parents down a very long corridor to their handicapped room. I found it had no refrigerator for their medications. I returned to the front desk to found out I had to pay $15 additional for a small refrigerator per day because the handicapped rooms do not come equipped with refrigerators. I agreed to the $15 payments, given my poor parents were finally resting. When I returned to the room, I found the pocket door to the bathroom could not be opened even by my able-bodied twenty year old son. Amazing. I returned to the front desk to advise of the issue. I took my parents to the hotel restaurant, the Tipperary Room, for dinner and explained to the front desk manager we would be out of the room for at least two hours. I was assured both the refrigerator and door would be present and working upon our return. The $15/day refrigerator was indeed present in the room upon our return but it was placed in the floor, completely inaccessible to my elderly parents. The bathroom door had not been attended to (or even looked at) by "Engineering" . When I returned to the front desk to ask for a table to raise the refrigerator, the manager explained the problem affecting the bathroom door was "severe" and to be fixed the next morning. I asked the obvious: "Why rent the room when there were known problems?" to which manager responded the bathroom door was not a big issue. Given my parents were again resting, I did not see the need to move them to another room but I should have. The table finally arrived at ten PM, inexplicably late and interrupting my parents' sleep. "Engineering" arrived the next morning at nine, rudely awakening my parents. My parents requested "Engineering" come back in half an hour, which they did. "Engineering" then proceeded to work on the bathroom door until noon, during which time my parents could not utilize their bathroom. They were advised to use the common restroom near the restaurant, on the other side of the hotel (realistically, a football field away). Again, my parents are 81 and 82 years of age. Are these people kidding? What does handicapped mean? What does service mean? What does Sheraton mean? I bought a known brand to ensure a positive experience for my parents and my family. This hotel is an outrage. December 24, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Wizard62 Fitness Center Excellent! The Sheraton Parsippany not only offers the 5 star room and service one expects from a Sheraton but also has a fantastic fitness center complete with pool, steam room, sauna, jacuzzi, and all the weight and nautilus equipment any fitness buff needs to maintain their exercise routine while traveling. I was very impressed. My only area of dissastisfaction was with the hotel restaurant, whose service and food was subpar at best. Don't let that be a deterant to staying at this wonderful hotel though as there are many good places to eat nearby. I would definitely return to this Sheraton for another stay if my travel's called for it. November 1, 2012
Rated 3 out of 5 by BoRP My stays for the last few months Just wanted to give you some constructive feedback: (1) When Mary is in the Club Lounge in the morning everything seems to work smoothly - when she is not around everything seems chaotic (2) In the evenings the Club Lounge seems to close very early, the food selection is poor and if you arive at 7pm you will probably only get dessert... Compared to Sheraton in Universal City, CA the evenings are very poor (3) Monthly SPG get-together last week was bizarre - good snacks and wine but only one person from the hotel said hello to us - the rest didn;t even acknowkledge our existence... (4) The quality of the food in the restaurant bar is appalling... That's all! January 28, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by independent over rowded room was not ready at 4:40PM, refrigator was unavailable although you have to call every 20 miutes as their request, finally i spoke to chris who promised to delivered right away but he didn't, i have to beg them because my med which need refrigerator, finally the delivered at 10PM and for course they charge 15$ for each night swimming pool area is so crowded, not enough chair, swimming pool is not clean room is clean and neat, but the don't have safe deposit and you don't know where to put you staff , money,and other important document,even nobody touch any of them, the women who clean the room was very nice and honest July 8, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by metaltrader unsatisfactory experience booked the hotel for a romantic getaway. the hotel was overrun with unsupervised kids, the pool was overcrowded and ran out of towels, there was garbage left around. only place in the hotel we found peace and quiet was in our room. we were looking for a high-end hotel experience, what we got was a low-end motel experience. RE: pool...apparently they sell local memberships to the pool and exercise facilities. as paying guests, we were unable to enjoy the pool and my guess is that non-guests with memberships were part of the reason for the overcrowding. seems Sheraton has to decide whethere they want to market themselves as high-end guest-oriented experience or LA Fitness experienc. July 11, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by traveler The staff more than rose to the occasion There was an extreme challenge for the staff and guests. A transformer blew and the hotel was without power. There was a backup generator that supplied minimum power so we were able to get into our rooms. I wanted to point out that the staff did not wait to swing into full motion. They were wheeling carts through the lobby making sure noone was without water or snacks. They ordered pizza and served it in the lobby area. They handed out glow sticks and tried very hard to be accomodating. Not once did I feel like they were not working to fix the situation at hand. I will definetly stay at this hotel again! March 12, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by Holmes34 Overall a bad experience Decided to stay in the middle of a long road trip last minute. After being very tired and checking in late a night to grab a few hours rest, we were very unhappy to find an air conditioner that sound like a snow blower starting every 15 min all night long. 10 min. After Checking we called the front desk to request maintaince and were told the the staff that all they have for the night. The next morning I explaindedmthis issue to the man working the desk and how disappointed I was that I had to use my sog points for this experience,. I was told I would receive a call from the manager and never did. August 26, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by chadb Business Trip Outstanding stay with Sheraton Parsippany while there on business last week. I would recommend this hotel for leisure as well. Great facility and amenaties. Close enough to EWR yet far enough to feel like your'e secluded in the forrest. June 23, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by calibp7 Not bad but... Our stay at this hotel was appreciated but the room that we stayed in was located near the ice machine so the noise kept startling me everytime it was in use. There was a miscommunication in regards to breakfast in the morning and we were under the impression that it was complimentary only to find out, after we served ourselves at the buffet, that it cost $20 each. We don't think we'd stay at this hotel again not because of breakfast but for other reasons. The staff should make it their duty to better communicate their services, as we weren't the only one who thought breakfast was complimentary. And I am a preferred spg guest who is committed to staying at any hotels affiliated with them. February 23, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by brekke Cavalier show Your hotel was lovely, and met or exceeded my expectations for my room, and our club's use of the ballroom, etc. I would say that my only dissappointment was the food. My one time at the breakfast buffet was a real dissapointment - $21 just for me, and the food was well below average even that you would get for a free breakfast in some other hotels. I attended our club's gala event, and since i had waited in line for 20 minutes at the cash bar, I ended up at the end of the food line. imagine my surprise when most of the food was GONE! Unacceptable. the taste was average, selection not up to par. October 24, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Atlantis225 Kudos to the hotel staff; Hotel restaurant could use some work First, I want to say that the hotel staff is great. I had a particular situation this week where I did not have my iPhone charger, called guest services and Erin actually offered to let me use her personal phone charger for the week to which I could return it upon check out. I thought this was a great gesture of customer service and this little deed made a big impact for me. Second, I want to point out how much potential the hotel restaurant has. The first impression is great with the ambiance and TV's surrounding the dinning room making for a classy environment. However, the wait staff and food are very mediocre. It changes the mindset for nights when you do not want to go out to eat for a long dinner outside the hotel, but instead of staying and eating at the hotel restaurant, you go out to eat anyway because of some past experiences which did not live up to expectations. March 29, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Bevo4 I Really Enjoy this Hotel Most of the Time! My husband, small dog and I stay at this lovely hotel every other month usually for at least 3 nights while visiting family. Generally we love this hotel and have minimal complaints. The 2 consistent areas needing improvement are the lack of luggage carts at check in on a Friday afternoon and the hotel being SO crowded on week-ends with many many events that the wait for an elevator is very slow and many times we can't even find a parking place. We have occasionally experienced an "attitude" with employees but most are quite helpful and friendly. Housekeeping is outstanding all the time. It's a great location and the Club Lounge is delightful with the best coffee of any hotel I've ever stayed in.....really. September 24, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Vic54 Picturesque Hotel What a great looking hotel. Shows outstanding with huge meeting and Ballrooms. Beautiful clean rooms make you feel as though you were at home. Very courteous and professional staff. March 3, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by RGutierrez Personalized Attention I have been traveling for work in the north east this winter and I usually go out of my way to eat healthy when away from home. After ordering food in the restaurant I made a comment to the staff about having the food prepare with low salt, minutes later the chef actually came out and asked me how I would like my food prepared. I don't remember this ever happening to me before. The staff at the Sheraton Parsippany certainly showed me a level of customer service basically non-existing in other area Hotels I have stayed. Thank you for the extra attention, RE Gutierrez February 9, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Terrrrrr Night before the wedding Other than the 8:30 a.m. Indian Wedding Parade waking me (our room was on corner with great windows, but close to the ballroom entrance) it was one of the best stays ever! We asked for a cot and received it complimentary for first request..room was great sq ft for 3 of us preparing for a nearby wedding that day....also got internet for free when I joined SPG club!!! THAT'S CUSTOMER SERVICE ! May 29, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by Noah Terrible Every time we asked for something the service outrageously unsatisfactory. This included being told room service would take 30 min but took an hour and 10, causing us to be late for our conference, finding a live fly in the salad from room service, having to call the front desk multiple times for things, staff having bad attitudes, not getting our fridge delivered for 24 hours and being charged for that day, the restaurant not being open at a time that our conference broke for a meal (and not enough time to go out), the list goes on. I would never stay here again. June 27, 2012

Aleksandra Mir
On August 28, 1999, a Dutch beach was temporarily converted with the aid of bulldozers into a sprawling lunar landscape of hills and craters. The ten-hour event culminated at sunset, when its organizer, Aleksandra Mir (b. 1967, Lubin, Poland; Swedish citizen), ascended to the highest peak, planted an American flag in the sand, and proclaimed herself the first woman on the moon. Occuring on roughly the 30th anniversary of Neil Armstrong's famous first walk on the moon, Mir's low-budget, deliberately fake performance formed a wry feminist comment on the persistence of gender inequality—a sort of counterpart to Armstrong's "one small step for man." First Woman on the Moon (1999) also explored how Armstrong's moonwalk has existed as a mediated reality for everyone except the astronauts themselves, which accounts for its having spawned countless conspiracy theories. The artist deliberately engaged the media for her self-immortalizing spectacle, advertising the event in Artforum and encouraging TV stations and local newspapers to cover it. Although the dunes were leveled that evening, the performance lives on in mediated memory, through a video documentary, numerous publicity stills, and such relics as the original flag.

St. Regis Hotel
Daily, 7am-10:30pm
E, M at Fifth Ave.-53rd St.; F at 57th St.
American Express, Diners Club, Discover, MasterCard, Visa
When John Jacob Astor opened the St. Regis Hotel in 1904, he aspired to classic European elegance yet the lobby restaurant therein feels quite nouveau riche. The grand chandelier is magnificent, yes, but the murals are off-puttingly ornate; the gold trim, excessively shiny. Most popular for its afternoon tea, the Astor Court draws its mix of tourists, shoppers and bridal-shower celebrants for an experience that's grown a tad worn around the edges: The three-level silver traysloaded with scones, tea sandwiches, and small sweetsare dented; the sandwich bread is slightly stale. Only the scones, served almost warm with clotted cream, will have you beckoning to the servers for more. At dinner time, Astor Court favors dishes made with seasonal vegetables, such as whole wheat fettucine with English peas and fresh mint, or roasted organic chicken with spring pea risotto and pea vines. Since the setting, floating as it does in the lobby, doesn't warrant fine dining, you may end up wishing you were sitting in the nearby Ole King Cole Bar having a hamburger instead.Schedule Ahead

EDITOR'S NOTE: The following is an excerpt from Accused: Pacific Coast Justice #1 by Janice Cantore (Tyndale).
"I swear it's as if my life is caught in a riptide, Joe." Carly hated the whine in her voice, but the frustration in her life that started six months ago had lately built to a fever pitch. "I feel like there's a current pulling me under, and every time I try to raise my head, I get buried by a wave." Her angry strides pounded an uneven path across the damp beach.
"Don't raise your head, then; you'll just get water up your nose," Joe responded. He walked alongside, dodging the sand Carly's feet kicked up.
She shot him a glare. He laughed, and in spite of her mood she managed a half smile. "What would I do without you? You always try to cheer me up even when I bet you think I'm just whining."
Matching her stride, Joe placed a calloused hand on her shoulder and said, "Hey, I know this isn't you. Being wrongly accused sucks—doubly so when you can't even defend yourself. I'm not sure I'd have handled the last six months as well as you have if I were in your shoes. If you need to vent, vent."
Carly stopped a few feet from the surf and blew out a breath as tears threatened. Emotions a jumble, she was touched by Joe's unwavering support. He'd been her partner on the force for three years—until the incident six months ago—and they'd been through car chases, foot pursuits, and fights together, developing a partnership that was as comfortable as her favorite pair of sweats. She knew, no matter what, she could count on Joe. She was lucky to have him, and he deserved better than her current bad attitude.
For a minute they were both silent, standing side by side watching the waves churn the salt water. The crash of the surf—a little rougher than she had expected—and the smell of the sea relaxed her a bit as the tableau soothed raw nerves.
Joe broke the silence. "Anyway, nothing will happen until all the facts are in and the litigation ends. Request your transfer back to patrol then. For right now, relax and be patient."
Carly swallowed the tears and dropped her beach bag. "I'm a horrible bench sitter. You know me; when they handed out patience, I stood in the ice cream line."
At that, Joe laughed and Carly was glad to hear it. One of the things that made them a good pair was the divergent way they looked at problems, Carly ready to kick the door in and Joe willing to wait hours if need be. Other officers teased them, labeling them Crash and Control. Carly would jump into things with both feet, while Joe would test the waters first with his big toe.
"I shouldn't dump on you. I'm just frustrated." Carly met his eyes and forced a smile.
"I don't mind listening." He shrugged. "That's what partners are for. You've listened to me enough over the years. We'll work together again." Joe tossed his bag next to Carly's.
Nodding, she bent to pull a towel out of her bag, biting down on her bottom lip, trying to swallow the frustration she felt and embrace the encouragement her partner gave.
"You sure you need to celebrate your birthday with a swim in this kind of weather?" Joe asked, hugging his arms to his chest. "Can't I just buy you a milk shake?"
Glad for the subject change, she followed his gaze to the water. The Pacific was a stormy deep-green color, pinched by small but choppy swells, melding to a gray and overcast horizon. Far to the left, several surfers bobbed on their boards, riding the swells while waiting for a good wave. Though late February, Southern California's mild water temperature made surfing and swimming possible. Dark, cloudy weather didn't bother Carly; it simply mirrored her mood. And for her, water normally made things better—even when it was forbidding and cold.

Krave 1st Year Anniversary & Product Launching
Hello, hello!!! The bed weather last Saturday didn't stop me from braving the rain to attend Krave's 1st Year Anniversary & Product Launching at Palladium Bar, Makati. It was my first event for 2013 so I was hyped (also one reason to dress extra nicely HAHA).
For those who do not know, Krave offers a wide array of makeup products, some of which I reviewed *click here*.
Here's Katrina Chua, the pretty young lady behind Krave! You'd be amazed that at 24, she has already established her own beauty empire, successful with her business and at the same time, a young mother to her lovely son! Kudos to you, Ms. Kat! :)
New products to watch out for!!! Krave now has their own ORGANIC SKIN CARE LINE!!!! I'm planning on using more organic products this year so these products are definitely on my to-try list.
VA-VA-VOOM! New packaging of Krave mineral makeup! So fierce, huh? They also added HD makeup to their growing makeup line.
After unveiling the new products of Krave, there was a sort of mini fashion show that took place. The models were holding a placard of their "BEFORE" aka bare face look, and they were sporting the "AFTER" look on the runway. I love the transformations!
Here are the beauty bloggers I shared the night with! From L-R: Angel, Lea, Sam, Dawn, yours truly, and Shen.
More photos…
So happy to finally meet Dawn of http://peachypinksisters.blogspot.com… apparently she was really named after DAWN ZULUETA! HAHA kulit!
LOL! Of course, hindi mawawala ang bathroom pic. Hi SAMMY! :P
Oh ayan, nakatayo naman! *group shot*
OMYGOSHH!! KIM! The lady behind Kimpossiblygorgeous! Also the one responsible for me being introduced to the beauty brand Krave! She picked me as her commenter of the month and the prizes that time were products from Krave. Thus, it was because of her that I was able to try Krave! Nice seeing you there, gorgeous!
I table-hopped to the other table where Say and Char were seated!
With Char of YellowYum! Look at her, she has that "pregnancy glow", isn't it? Only a few weeks before she is due! WOW Mommy Char!!!
Krave's brand ambassadress, Say! Nice seeing you again dear!
Cool display, huh? Congrats once again Krave for this milestone and wishing you more success for 2013!
Instead of samples/loot bag, Krave gave us Php1000 worth of GC! We were given liberty of choosing whichever products we would like to try! Excited to order already!!!! Thank you again Krave for the invitation! :)
I know this blog entry is photo-overloaded already, but here's one last! HEEHEE!
That's all folks! <3

This classic diamond engagement ring features a brilliant cushion-shaped diamond halo and the brilliant sparkle of four, large prong-set diamonds cascading from either side of the center diamonds.
Like pavé-set diamonds, micropavé is a surface of smaller diamonds, set with small points of metal creating a "paved" effect. This smooth surface doesn't have prongs that can catch on clothing, and the metal holding each diamond in place is almost invisible. A piece of jewelry with micropavé-set diamonds looks as if it is paved with beautiful diamond sparkle.
Ritani experts are available to answer your questions and deepen your understanding of diamond quality.

Senran Kagura: Shinovi Versus' main draw is the pancakes, obviously, but Marvelous AQL would like to remind you this title features actual gameplay too. In addition to the main campaign, the game sports a handful of multiplayer modes. And boy are they salacious.
In "Panty Struggle" players are tasked with the odd job of collecting undergarments as they inexplicably fall from the sky. There's also "Point Struggle," a game type that offers a more traditional deathmatch experience. Finally, "Strip Fight" pits players against one another and the objective is, well, to rip your opponent's clothing to shreds, because of course it is.
Senran Kagura: Shinovi Versus releases on February 28 in Japan for PlayStation Vita.

It must have been that white dress.
Lindsay Lohan and her on again, off again lady lover, Samantha Ronson, are back together. Sam tweeted (and this is letter for letter, I would never spell nor punctuate like this):
watching grey's anatomy- my fav show- @lindsaylohan sleeping next 2 me- should i wake her up to let her know her mom is going on GMA? #why
A few questions. People still watch Grey's Anatomy? That is a surprise. Also -- is Lindsay stable enough to enter into a relationship that's proven to be volatile? I wonder what Dr. Drew has to say about this. And I wonder if Linds gave Sam that stolen necklace.
Let's dissect the tweet here for a second. We know that Lindsay and Sam are neighbors (god bless our Lindsay for having the audacity to move into the house next to her ex's because apparently Lindsay got what she wanted), so it wouldn't really be any inconvenience at all to have a sleepover. It's practically like they're roommates.
We can't assume they're in bed, so maybe Lindsay just fell asleep on the couch next to Sam. Maybe it's Sam causing all the rumors and drama this time by tweeting this, implying a relationship, when really they're just two friends watching TV on the sofa.
I'm also intrigued by Sam's mention of the Lohan's mom, Dina. We all know she's a pile of nut bags wrapped in a sack of crazy, and I get the feeling that Sam doesn't want to spill the bad news to Lindsay. I like that she's protective and that we can infer they think Dina going on any show of any nature is absurd.
And finally, is Lindsay stable enough to be dating again? After rehabs and courtroom appearances, she needs to take a moment to herself. Maybe a little alone time in Hawaii to clear her head. But I can't say I blame Sam for rekindling with Linds -- I was tempted to try for a piece of the action when I saw her in the white dress.
How long do you think Sam and Lindsay will last this time?

I reeally think you need to get a life and worry about something else.
LOL this has nothign to do with relationships for parents. SORRY
found my daughters Lindsay Lohan Barbie while cleaning the other day... I said "keep or doante?" to her she said "Hummm not sure I still use her to play mean girls and shes the barbie all the others visit in the hospital"
nice comment looser....very original .
um....who cares?
"...a pile of nut bags wrapped in a sack of crazy..." EPIC! LMAO, I gotta start using that!
That girl is a constant train wreck...and until she starts taking responsiblity for her actions, staying clean, not inviting drama into her life, and acting like an ADULT and a LADY, she's always going to have a chaotic life.

A year to the day after his inauguration, Barack Obama and his Democratic allies are suddenly scrambling to save his signature health care overhaul and somehow rediscover their political magic after an epic loss in the Massachusetts Senate race.
Republican Scott Brown rode a wave of voter anger to beat Democrat Martha Coakley. The loss was a stunning embarrassment for the White House. It also signaled big political problems for the president's party this fall when House, Senate and gubernatorial candidates are on the ballot nationwide.
Brown's victory was so sweeping, he even won in the Cape Cod community where Sen. Edward Kennedy, the longtime liberal icon, died of brain cancer last August.
"While the honor is mine, this Senate seat belongs to no one person, no one political party," Brown told his supporters Tuesday night. "This is the people's seat," he added to chants of "People's seat!"
Brown will become the 41st Republican in the 100-member Senate, which could allow the GOP to block the health care bill. Democrats needed Coakley to win for a 60th vote to thwart Republican filibusters.
Brown became the first Republican elected to the U.S. Senate from supposedly true-blue Democratic Massachusetts since 1972.
"I have no interest in sugarcoating what happened in Massachusetts," said Sen. Robert Menendez, the head of the Senate Democrats' campaign committee. "There is a lot of anxiety in the country right now. Americans are understandably impatient."
Brown will finish Kennedy's unexpired term, facing re-election in 2012. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid pledged to seat Brown immediately, a hasty retreat from pre-election Democratic threats to delay his inauguration until after the health bill passed.
Brown led by 52 percent to 47 percent with 100 percent of precincts counted. The third candidate in the race, independent Joseph L. Kennedy, who is no relation to Edward Kennedy, had less than 1 percent.
The local election played out against a national backdrop of animosity and resentment from voters over persistently high unemployment, Wall Street bailouts, exploding federal budget deficits and partisan wrangling over health care.
For weeks considered a long shot, the 50-year-old Brown seized on voter discontent to overtake Coakley in the campaign's final stretch. His candidacy energized Republicans, including backers of the "tea party" protest movement, while attracting disappointed Democrats and independents uneasy with where they felt the nation was heading.
"I voted for Obama because I wanted change," said John Triolo, 38, a registered independent who voted in Fitchburg. "I thought he'd bring it to us, but I just don't like the direction that he's heading."
Even before the first results were announced, administration officials were privately accusing Coakley of a poorly run campaign and playing down the notion that Obama or a toxic political landscape had much to do with the outcome.
Coakley's supporters, in turn, blamed that very environment, saying her lead dropped significantly after the Senate passed health care reform shortly before Christmas and after the attempted Christmas Day airliner bombing, which Obama himself said showed a failure of his administration.
Sidoti reported from Washington. Associated Press writers Beth Fouhy, Bob Salsberg, Steve LeBlanc, Karen Testa, Kevin Vineys and Stephanie Reitz also contributed to this report.
3 Responses to "Stunned Democrats ponder humiliation at the polls"
It is interesting that one of the tactics that Brown used was to mention as little as possible that he was a Republican. People are so disgusted with the two parties that for one to win over the other they have to disguise themselves.
Brings to mind that old saying "A wolf in sheep's clothing".
Stunned? Only blind partisan Democrats can be stunned.
Only the most brain dead partisan Democrats could be surprised that the independents have turned against them. Those would be the same brain dead partisan Democrats who thought that Obama's election and the change in the Senate was a mandate for their liberal social programs. As I said at the time, it was no mandate. It was a simple vote against four more years of Bush's brain dead foreign policies, including especially Guantanamo, rendition, and torture. While Obama has made incremental changes in torture policy, he has violated his promise on Guantanamo, which remains open and still helping al Qaeda recruit suiciders such as the man who took out the CIA base in Afghanistan. And rendition goes on, but with more "oversight," which I guess means we'll be sure that the victims are only tortured according to our own standards.
Plus, rather than sensibly abandoning his campaign promise to go all in on Afghanistan and exiting from that graveyard of empires, Obama has doubled down in support of a corrupt regime with no popular support that barely controls major cities. Kind of like Johnson in Vietnam.
In other words, the neocons have convinced Obama to abandon his good promises and keep his idiotic promises on foreign policy issues.
Plus, rather than the open debate on health care reform he promised, Obama has let Congress be Congress be bought off by every interest group, behind closed doors, thereby squandering the hope and faith his more naive supporters had placed in or on him.
Layered into that excrement sandwich is the squandering of taxpayer money on jobs programs that haven't really worked, and the squandering of even more taxpayer money in support of the bankers who wrecked the economy with no oversight, no meaninful bank reform, and, it turns out, with intentional concealment of material facts from the few members of Congress who aren't owned by the banks and the electrorate. Now, the bank-owned Congress wants to kill even the financial consumer protection agency that was supposed to save the public from more predatory banking practices, and save the economy from the same financial greed that caused the Great Depression and the 2008 crash.
So, the independents get the worst of all worlds: Neocon foreign policy virtually indistinguishable from George W. Bush's, financial policy by and for the big banks same as the GOP, and drunken-sailer spending while doing nothing to prevent another meltdown for the same reasons. In other words, more privatized profits and socialized losses, just like the GOP. Almost makes one into a Nader supporter.
How could anyone with a brain be surprised that the independents have lost faith in the Democrats given all this? At least there is a chance with the GOP that their taxes will stay lower. Plus, it took a Nixon to get us out of Vietnam, and to open relations with China, now our largest trading partner after Canada.
Bravo, bjiller. Even us dumb yanks are starting to figure out that we've been had by the latest chief of the neocon mafia and the people of Mass. were the first to get the opportunity to express their anger at Obama's betrayal.
Hey, we may not be brain surgeons, but we're at least smart enough to know that Rahm and Tim and Larry and Barack are trying to kill us.

Know Your Star: Sonam Kapoor
Sonam Kapoor - The fashionista
Sonam Kapoor is considered to be one of the most stylish Bollywood stars.
In an interview with The Indian Express, Sonam said: "When I came to the industry, people were still wearing saris with bikini blouses and Swarovski-style dresses. That wasn't my taste. I love vintage and history, and I know fabrics because my mom was a designer. I treat fashion as art, so, to me, a painting is as valuable as a Cristóbal Balenciaga gown and people loved that. But that wasn't me trying to make a statement; it's the way our parents brought us up."

Sorry to say this, Shin, but the 1 viable DPS spec thing is over now. 3.0.8 makes both Fireball and Arcane better raid DPS than FFB is. Fireball offers Focus Magic, Improved Scorch, and higher DPS than FFB. And, as it stands right now, Arcane blows all other specs out of the water in terms of straight damage output, even if it lacks raid utility.
I switched from Frostfire Bolt to 57/3/11 just this patch, and my DPS has gone up significantly. We're talking a change from 4k DPS on Patchwerk to well over 5k, with no major changes in gear or raid composition. I easily outdamaged my entire raid this week, and I was only 5th on the charts last week. Something is up, and I think it's that Arcane is very strong.
I'll admit that AB has been Arcane biased lately, but right now Arcane spec IS the news, he may as well talk about it.

Cupressaceae Rich. ex Bartling 1830
Common names:Cypress family, HINOKI KA [Japanese], [Chinese].
Taxonomic notes:Twenty-nine (many monotypic) genera and 141 species. Syn: Cupressoideae Rich. ex Sweet 1826; Cupresseae Rich. ex Dumort. 1827; Cunninghamieae Zucc. ex Endl. 1842 (5).
The Cupressaceae are found in the fossil record since the Jurassic. The family was formerly divided between Cupressaceae sensu stricto (genera with leaves opposite in four ranks or whorled) and Taxodiaceae (leaves mostly alternate). Foliage characters, however, are seldom used as grounds for discriminating between families. All genera treated here have seed cones in which the bract-scale complexes are fused for most of their common length, the 1-20 ovules are erect (but may invert with maturity), and the paired seed wings, if present, are derived from the seed coat (3, 4). Recent study of plastid (rbcL) DNA sequences has further confirmed the close relationship between the Cupressaceae s.str. and the genera formerly assigned to the Taxodiaceae, finding that most Taxodiaceous genera diverge first, while the Cupressaceae s.str. are derived within the Taxodiaceous genera. The principal exception involves the genus Sciadopitys, which was found to be completely unlike the Cupressaceae, and is now usually treated in the separate monotypic family Sciadopityaceae (6, 7).
Description:Trees or shrubs, generally resinous and aromatic, monoecious (usually dioecious in Juniperus). Bark fibrous and furrowed (smooth or exfoliating in plates in some Cupressus and Juniperus species). Lateral branches well developed, similar to leading shoots, twigs terete, angled, or flattened dorsiventrally (with structurally distinct lower and upper surfaces in Thuja, Calocedrus, Thujopsis, Fokienia, Libocedrus, Papuacedrus, and to a lesser extent in some other genera), densely clothed by scalelike leaves or by decurrent leaf bases; longest internodes to 1 cm; buds undifferentiated and inconspicuous (except in Sequoia, Metasequoia, Cunninghamia and Juniperus sects. Juniperus and Caryocedrus). Roots fibrous to woody (bearing aboveground"knees" in Taxodium). Leaves simple, usually persisting 3-5(-12) years and shed with lateral shoots (cladoptosic) (shed annually in Taxodium, Glyptostrobus and Metasequoia; leaves with an abscision zone and shed individually in Juniperus Sects. Juniperus and Caryocedrus), alternate and spirally arranged but sometimes twisted so as to appear 2-ranked, or opposite in 4 ranks, or whorled, deltate-scalelike to linear, decurrent, sessile or petiolate; adult leaves appressed or spreading, often differing between lateral and leading shoots (twigs heterophyllous), sometimes strongly dimorphic on each twig (in Thuja, Thujopsis, Fokienia, Libocedrus, Papuacedrus and Calocedrus, and weakly so in some other genera) with lateral scale-leaf pairs conspicuously keeled; juvenile leaves linear, flattened, spreading; often with solitary abaxial resin gland; resin canal present. Pollen cones maturing and shed annually, solitary, terminal (rarely in clusters of 2-5, or to 20 or more in Cunninghamia; axillary in Cryptomeria and Juniperus Sects. Juniperus and Caryocedrus; in terminal panicles in Taxodium and Metasequoia), simple, spheric to oblong; sporophylls overlapping, bearing 2-10 abaxial microsporangia (pollen sacs); pollen spheric, not winged. Seed cones maturing in 1-2 seasons, shed with short shoots or persisting indefinitely on long-lived axes (shattering at maturity in Taxodium), compound, solitary, terminal (rarely in clusters of 2-5, or up to 100 or more in Widdringtonia; axillary in Juniperus Sects. Juniperus and Caryocedrus); scales overlapping or abutting, fused to subtending bracts with only bract apex sometimes free; each scale-bract complex peltate, oblong or cuneate, at maturity woody or fleshy, with 1-20 erect (inverted with age in Athrotaxis, Cunninghamia, Glyptostrobus, Taiwania, Metasequoia, Sequoia and Sequoiadendron), adaxial ovules. Seeds 1-20 per scale, not winged or with 2-3 symmetric or asymmetric wings; aril lacking; cotyledons 2-5 (to 9 in Taxodium) (3, 9).
Range:It is the most widely distributed of all gymnosperm families, occurring in diverse habitats on all continents except Antarctica, but all genera other than Juniperus show strongly relictual distributions, with a large number of localised, rare and endangered taxa. Most of the generic diversity is in the southern hemisphere, but the largest genus, Juniperus, is chiefly north-temperate (1, 2).
Big Tree:Sequoiadendron giganteum, also called "Big tree".
Oldest:Fitzroya cupressoides, with Sequoiadendron giganteum a close second. Both are known to live well over 3,000 years.
Dendrochronology:Although the Pinaceae continue to account for the majority of dendrochronological work, a great deal has nonetheless been done with the Cupressaceae, particularly in the genera Fitzroya, Juniperus, Sequoiadendron, and Thuja.
Ethnobotany:The heartwood of many species of Cupressaceae is resistant to termite damage and fungal decay, and therefore it is widely used in contact with soil [e.g., for fenceposts]. Frank Lloyd Wright preferred Taxodium as a siding for wooden residences, while Sequoia is preferred for lawn furniture throughout the vast suburbs of California. The premier coffin wood of China, Cunninghamia lanceolata, is another member of the family, and Chamaecyparis wood is in similar demand in Japan. Many genera are incorrectly called cedars because their heartwood is as aromatic as that of the true cedars, Cedrus (Pinaceae). Wooden pencils are made from incense-cedar (Calocedrus decurrens) and eastern redcedar (Juniperus virginiana), which is also used for lining"cedar" chests. Wood from species of redcedar (Thuja) is used for roofing shingles and for house siding.
Many Cupressaceae are treated with very high regard by traditional societies. In Japan, Cryptomeria japonica is the national tree, and of the 'five sacred trees of Kiso', four are in this family (Chamaecyparis obtusa, Ch. pisifera, Thuja standishii, Thujopsis dolabrata). Thuja plicata is highly revered among the tribes of the Northwest Coast of North America, who made their houses, canoes, baskets, boxes and even clothing from its bark, wood and roots, while Sequoia and Sequoiadendron have inspired a deep sense of reverence among people from western cultures ever since their discovery.
The Cupressaceae are also the most important conifer family in modern horticulture Several species of Chamaecyparis, Cupressus and Juniperus are of major importance in horticultural trade, accounting for about 99.9% of all conifers sold for garden planting in Britain; many thousands of cultivars have been named.
Remarks:Pollination usually occurs in late winter or spring but may occur anytime from late summer to early winter for some species of Juniperus. Seed maturation occurs in late summer or autumn. Many species of Actinostrobus, Callitris, Cupressus, Neocallitropsis, Sequoiadendron and Widdringtonia have serotinous cones that remain closed for many years, some opening only after exposure to fire (3).
A majority of genera are monotypic and most others display disjunct or relictual distributions, even though individual species may be widely distributed. Only bird-dispersed Juniperus is species rich, with a wide, nearly continuous Northern Hemisphere distribution. Because of their uniformity, seedlings and juvenile specimens may not be determinable to genus (3). Foliage of cultivars may deviate greatly from forms found in wild plants; one, cv. 'Sanderi', defied correct identification for 84 years until 1978 when chemical analysis discovered its generic and specific identity as a juvenile-foliage cultivar of Platycladus orientalis; it had previously been placed under five other genera (including one Shishinderia created for it alone!) by various authors (8).
Although no members of the family attain dominance over immense geographic spans as do some species of the Pinaceae in the boreal forests, they can achieve considerable local and regional prominence. Examples include Sequoia sempervirens along the coast of northern California, several species of Juniperus in central Eurasia, the southwestern United States and Mexico, and baldcypress (Taxodium distichum) in deep swamps of the southeastern United States. Their ranges and regions of dominance were considerably greater during the early Tertiary (3).

Traffic is moving again on the inbound Stevenson Expressway early Monday after a crash left eight people injured, one critically, Sunday night.
A semi-truck rear-ended a vehicle near where the northbound Stevenson merges with the southbound Dan Ryan Expressway about 11:30 p.m., according to Fire Media Affairs.
The ramp from the inbound Stevenson to the outbound Dan Ryan was closed for nearly an hour, and reopened about 12:15 a.m., according to Illinois State Police.
One person was taken to John H. Stroger Jr. Hospital in critical condition, while the other seven -- who were all in serious condition -- were taken other area hospitals, according to fire media. The ages and genders of the injured were not immediately known.

Question Of The Day I know I can't speak for all of our readers, but I never really realize how much I count on my cell phone until outages like yesterday. That being said, I'm loyal to a carrier as I try and recognize that stuff happens, it's almost always an inconvenience, but it happens. So the question I pose to you, is do instances like yesterday influence your decision to switch carriers? I pose this question as we saw another outage for Blackberry customers as the BIS service went down nationwide. While there were random instances of people swearing off Blackberry, in most cases people forgive, forget and go about their day. So I ask you dearest readers: Will instances like yesterday's outage force you to switch away from our dear Magenta to another carrier?
 Will yesterdays downtime make you re-consider T-Mobile as your carrier?(trends)

Yeah so the Superbowl is going on right now in my hometown…I'm just not impressed with it all. Yeah it was nice to have an event come to this city but honestly it has made it a huge inconvience for normal day to day functions. I'm happy its Sunday and after tomorrow the Superbowl will be over and it will be business as usual. Did i fail to mention I'm not a huge fan of football? Oh welllll
So things have been typical as usual and I'm not thrilled with the twist and turns my life has taken. I need a positive change and I've been trying to project positivity but when it feels like you have the world sitting on ur shoulders and u have trouble handling the simple stuff its really really hard. No matter what I will continue to keep pushing something has got to give and I know God will see fit to give me the strength to endure everything.
