Rated 3.9 out of 5 by 483 reviewers.
Rated 2 out of 5 by LennyF Road noise was unacceptable While the room was nice and had all the amenities, my room which was on the 7th fllor on the north side of building had tremendous highway noise which made for a poor nights sleep. I would request a room with a western exposure in the future or stay somewhere else. May 21, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by David Bad experience I spent two nights at the Sheraton Westshore in early March. I was there for a pool tournament. The beds at this hotel were just terrible. The mattresses sunk so much I woke up with a huge back ache. After the first morning I went to the front desk to ask to be moved and was told the entire hotel has the same bed and that they knew the beds were terrible and were going to do something about it. This didnt help me of course and with the back ache I had I had a miserable tournament. Trying to bend over a table to shoot when your back is just wrecked...well you can guess the result. Parking at this hotel is also an issue if you come back to the hotel late. Both nights we got back to the hotel after midnite and ended up parking in a gravel road adjacent to the hotel next door to a steakhouse. May 28, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Guoqing LOVED it I was in Tampa for a conference and I stayed here the day before my flight. To my surprise, this Sheraton was NOT what I expected for an airport property - simply too sophisticated. The front desk was very polite and thanked me for my loyalty with SPG when checking in and said the same thing at check-out. Shuttle driver was fun to talk to...btw, the driver was trying to reject my second tip but I insisted that he have it. The guest room was huge and room service was fast. I ordered two entrees for myself and they were both very good. The only flaw, if I have to come up with one to help improve the property, was that the bathroom had just a tiny bit of old pee smell. But I have been told to have super sensitive nose, so...Something about this property made me want to spend ALL my money here!!! May 25, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by RJA5233 Brief 1 night stay We checked in late and our SPG status was not acknowledged. The suite was large and completely renovated. The bathroom was small but quite adequate. The living room was very large and the bedroom was a decent size as well. Both had a large LCD flat screen TV. The entire suite was very clean. Unfortunately we checked out early and didn't really have an opportunity to take advantage of the nice quarters. Upon checkout our SPG status was acknowledged and the reservation person was very friendly. March 21, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by DMP512 Excellent Staff Great, friendly and knowledgeable staff. Excellent location with easy access to airport. May 31, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by Lizz17 a bit disapointing Very nice hotel with great food and nice indoor pool. However there are daily swimming lessons which we were not informed of and were kicked out of shallow end of pool which we needed. I talked to management and all they could say was sorry. A/c broke in room/carpet was all wet had to get up for service at 1145pm. alarm clock went off at 300am that someone in room before us had set and fire alarm went off at 645 am. so overall not much sleep. I would have appreciated a discount or credit towards next stay. I was offered nothing. Beds super comfy. Asked for additional conditioner as we had 3 teenage girls with long hair and I was given a bag of body lotion. for a Sheraton I expected more. Area was nice. Really would have like partial discount or credit toward next stay for all the inconveniences. June 8, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by DannyMo Good hotel, but needs improvement This hotel could be great if it made a few improvements. First, the elevator situation is horrible! Out of 4 elevators, at least 2 were out of order all week! Plus, there are no stairs accessible to walk to the lower floors. When large groups all get back at the same time it makes for long waits to get back to your room, especially when the elevators that do work are very slow. Also, the shower in my room wasn't very good and had a leak in the pan which caused water to run onto the floor. January 28, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by CruisingFamily2013 Post cruise stay We used this hotel for a post cruise stay. It was in a good location and easy to find while in an unfamiliar city. The front desk personnel were friendly and helpful. It was busy upon check-in, but the staff made sure to make us feel welcome by suggesting restaurants nearby and answering questions we had. The room was comfortable, the bedding and bathroom was clean. On close inspection, we did find popcorn from a previous guest. Overall, we had a good stay and would use this hotel aagain. March 27, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Nikonman Great Hotel, Customer Service needs improvement Beautiful hotel. Had an issue with Wi-Fi in room but tech support got right on it and corrected. Front desk customer service could use some work. My clerk wasn't very friendly and did not inquire about my SPG membership, I had to inform her that I was a Gold member. There was never any mention of check-in gift, had to request WI-FI and did request a late checkout. No continental breakfast, no SPG lounge. Just didn't get a good feeling at check-in but overall, GREAT place.!!!! February 3, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by Edarg Somewhat disappointing. Nice large room but we did experience more than average amount of problems. Hot water was a huge issue for both sink and shower. The TV in the bedroom had no sound. The TV in the other room worked at first and then we did not have any reception, cable. Breakfast on Saturday morning may have been the worst experience I have had traveling. It was a CLUSTER! Not much food at the buffet. I had to sit at the bar and eat. 2 waitresses were yelling at each other. Really quite unbelievable . November 25, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Ashly This hotel is wonderful The hotel was amazing for travel. I got a suite at a great price and the ammenities were very nice. I loved having a balcony and the location was wonderful for dining and a BUCS game, which is what the trip was for. The staff was friendly and kept up with everything, including towels at the pool, which is indoor - great for rainy days in Florida, or anything I wanted in my room. I would definently stay at this hotel again... best experience I have had in a while, and we love to travel! August 22, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Longleat Great hotel! Great location, great, spacious room. Needed free internet and breakfast and it would be perfect. May 28, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Cutlass72 Great Stay and Job By All The front Desk agent who checked me in was outstanding (bad with names and forgot to write down) warm, friendly and knowledgable. Just doing the job the way it should be done. The hotel is obviously an older property that has been through various re-models but I am quite impressed in the manner of quality and care that has gone into it. The elevators were not functioning on my stay, which was no big deal for me but I feel bad for the staff that has to deal with disgruntled guests. January 5, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by slinky Sheraton Suites stay This hotel was very nice. The biggest issue was that the second elevator was not working and you had to wait a long time for the elevator to take you up or down. Also, the hair dryer in the room only blew cold air when on hot, so it needs to be replaced. The last things is as a gold member I would have thought that internet would be complimentary and not have a charge of $9.99 per day. Their pool and workout facilities were very nice and the ombiance of the lobby area was lovely. January 1, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by yuhkii I had an issue with a couple of facilities. I am totally satisfied with their services and room. The only thing I had an issue is that there was no power of refrigerator and the heater did not work. During the middle of night, I woke up because I felt that it was kind of cold. And so I tried to turn on the heater, but it did not work. When I checked out in the front desk, I talked about the heater. They told me that they did not turn on the air condition system in my room. I was supposed to notice the issue to them. December 31, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by VeteranTraveler Very good hotel at a great value Even though the architecture is a little unusual for a Sheraton, this all-suite property exemplifies the best of the brand. The folks at the front desk are personable and genuinely interested. They put the hospitality in the hospitality industry.The servers in the restaurant are similarly engaging. My room was spotless and there is nothing that could be criticized. This was my fifth visit, and I look forward to more. April 6, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Eric49417 Met my expectations This appears to be an older hotel that's been extensively updated fairly recently. The room was clean and quiet, the bed comfortable, and the service good. I didn't use any of the amenities, but for a quick overnight trip this hotel met all my needs. May 15, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by DeeD This hotel needs improvement The beds were like sleeping on cotton, no back support. Once you laid down, it was like the mattress was folding in on you. The bath tub was slippery-waiting for a major accident. The hotel's elevators were very disappointing, out of the four elevators only one of the two at each end worked. The manager-who is a female appeared impatient and defensive of any questions relative to performance of the hotel. Poor and unprofessional management skills. Overall, I wouldn't return. December 27, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by yanoale07 NOT ALL STAFF IS HELPFUL The overall stay was good and I am a Happy Starwood member. Only issue is that I was not acknowledged at the time of check in as a starwood member and it seemed to bother the employee that I requested my upgrade and confirmed my free internet. I did not feel welcomed at all. I also left an item in the room and when I called the hotel to notify them, I was advised that nothing could be done because the housekeeping manager was gone for the day and the hotel manager was too. January 4, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by Eagle65 Not my first choice I stayed at this hotel because of an event being held there. The bar didn't have beverages that were on the menu, the wake up call never came, and the staff didn't seem to be knowledgeable about the event. It was raining and I was told that there was a parking garage connected to the hotel, wrong! May 6, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Ddailey Good stay in great location This hotel is not far from anything in tampa. There is a great mall about one mile away, downtown and the aquarium only 5-10 minute drive, same for the buccaneers statium. And busch gardens about 15-20 minute drive. The staff was very friendly. The room was comfortable, but it seemed as though the bed frame was broken and higher at the foot of the bed. Not bad enough to complain about. Good breakfast buffet too. Some road noise could be heard from I-275 in the room. November 4, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Manju A great experience. We arrived at this hotel for the Repiblican National Convention and immediately were greeted by the best front desk staff we had ever met. Brooke took care of our needs professionally. Our room was spacious and comfortable. We enjoyed the meeting rooms and breakfast buffet, as well as the restaurant. Bus service and drivers to local venues were exceptional. The manager's personal attention was appreciated. We loved having a top-quality hotel for our stay in Tampa. September 3, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Flyboy1085 very satisfied expierence I stayed at this hotel several times over that past few months on business and each time I had a positive expierence. Having been a GM with a national chain previously, I look for more than just that first hello or smile. I found that each staff member that I delt with was very professional and provided me with quality customer service. My room was clean and my bed very comfortable.I would recommend to others and stay there again if it was pleasure. Good job. December 9, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by pm726 Southeast Regional Meeting Everything at the hotel was just fine. Two things that would make it better. (1) Free internet access in the room. (2) Hot breakfast buffet included with the room. I had to hire a taxi to take me to the airport on Sunday morning. However, I would not expect the hotel shuttle to be running at 3:45 AM! At our Saturday night banquet, the tables, designed to seat 8 had 10 seated around them. That made things extremely tight. Mature adults need more room, not less. June 10, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by KC442 Ice Bucket Utensil The room was pretty clean and comfortable but when I went to use the utensil for the ice box it was totally disgusting:( My daughter stayed at a different Sheraton who told me about the go green so we put our card on the room door and they did not except it as we were checking out that day. My daughter stayed the same amount of time at the other sheraton and she was able to use it. Why put it in the room? March 31, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by Steve70 The Room Was Filthy My room was filthy when I arrived. I went to open the curtain and it was so filthy I did not want to touch it. There were dirty ,toothpicks on the floor that remained there from Monday to Sunday. There was dirt on the bathroom floor that was just moved around each day. The shower/tub was not cleaned soap wrapper and used washcloths were never removed. I asked for extra towels when my wife arrived and there were less in my room when I returned from Yankee Camp. January 28, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by Ksea23 Hotel had some issues with the elevator Hotel seemed to have out of the four elevators -two out of service which made it difficult to get up and down to our room and with a 2 year old that makes more of a challenge since they don't have a concept of waiting. We used the stairs once but we are on the 8th floor so that as well is not the easiest – not sure if both elevators were under repair but you may want to re think taking two of the four out of service and only doing one at a time in the future. February 4, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by ChihullyLover Beautiful and clean hotel The room exceeded my expectations- spacious, clean, comfortable bed and comfortable living room. I could have stayed all week here and would have been very happy with all the amenities at my finger tips, and St. Pete just over the causeway. The lobby and restaurant were decorated tastefully for valentine's day. I wish there was a hot tub along with the heated indoor pool. The shuttle to and from the airport was 20 minutes or less- only wish the check in desk attendant mentioned that you had to call for pick up from the airport instead of saying the shuttle ran every 20 minutes- waited over an hour at the airport until I figured this out! The breakfast of one egg and two slices of wheat toast was $6.50 plus tax and tip- about twice the price it should have been. The staff were neatly dressed, friendly, and professional- I will definitely come back! February 15, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by JB25 Stay was ok-not to Sheraton standards I have stayed at this hotel on 3 occassions now and have been disappointed on each stay for different reasons. The common areas and the staff are both above average. On previous stays I have been turned off by worn and stained carpets and moldy fridges. This stay I was situated with a room backing on the highway. It was extremely noisy. The drapes did not shut properly and it lacked a clock and other minor ammenities I would expect from a Sheraton hotel. October 28, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Aucilla56 My Military Reunion Everyone in our 25th Naval Reunion thought the hotel was fabulous. All the hotel staff, from front desk to the room cleaning staff were extremely helpful and courteous and helpful. Our rooms were spacious and extremely comfortably. We all enjoyed ourselves very much. May 6, 2014

If you'd like to listen, you can listen can download the segment. The relative part starts at around 12:45 and he actually mentions Top Gear around 13:45.
This is yet another example of Top Gear gaining awareness here in America. Hopefully it leads to more people hearing of our beloved show.

The steaks are then flame-broiled over Florida citrus and oak wood in a custom-built pit at 1200º searing in the tantalizing taste that has made Charley's the #1 steakhouse in America every year since 2007! Charley's philosophy of providing only the finest extends from the kitchen to the wine cellar. The wine list approaches 1000 selections from scores of exceptional wineries around the globe. Charley's has been recognized with numerous awards including "Best of Award of Excellence" from Wine Spectator magazine, DiRōNA and Orlando Magazine's" Best Steak House & Best Old Favorite".

- Treated like a kingYoSoyFiestaVIPDined on 8/25/2014I was in Orlando for work and did not know anyone in the area, but wanted to escape my hotel for dinner. I had previously been to the Charley's in Tampa and decided on a return visit. Despite the fact that I was dining alone, I was treated with extraordinary regard from the staff with constant attention including some free bites from the kitchen. I tried their alligator appetizer, which was pretty standard for a fried appetizer. However, for my main meal, I had their Wagyu ribeye which was cooked to perfection and absolutely delicious. I had some fried green tomatoes as a side which were also terrific. I would definitely recommend the dining experience to anyone.Special Features:
- AmazeballsSheila318Dined on 8/23/2014Great overall, definitely 5 stars all the way! From awesome service to mind blowing taste, we will recommend & return.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Family Birthday Dinnermtn32714Dined on 8/22/2014I went here for my birthday with my family. I have never been before and it was a great treat. The service was very good and the food was delicious. My boyfriend and I enjoyed the Surf and Turf for 2 which was a great entree to order to get a taste of both the seafood and steak. Charley's is a classic must-go to steakhouse. Wood burning grill is unique to Charley's and worth it for a special occasion.Special Features:

The food presentation and service was great. However, the purchased the 9174 special lobster and steak. the meal was under cooked and tough for a filet. We shared the Key ime Pie. WOW that was great… offer, was like off of the highway….. I would suggest skipping the meal and getting the Key Lime Pie and no coffee...Special Features:
- Great steak and atmosphere.BigWiggDined on 8/14/2014Old school style steak house with dark wood, low lighting. Good bar, I've enjoyed both romantic and business dinners here.I would recommend this to a friend.
- Very good, classy restaurantdatenighthusbandDined on 8/13/2014My wife and I celebrated our 10th anniversary at Charley's International Drive. Charley's on Orange Blossom Tr. was our favorite Restaurant of all, but it has been closed down. We have gone to the I-drive location once before. The valet parker, Brandon, was a polite and personable young man. Our server, Steve, was very good: pleasant, professional, and attentive. The food was very good, too. We shared the ultimate Surf and Turf. I miss the old location; the ambience was better -seating was more romantic, lighting was better for mood, too. The I-drive location has no salad nar, either. I-drive location is much nicer. Overall, we liked this Charley's, but didn't love it. Everything was very good, just not great. would recommend it.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good time at Charley's.gtcharleysDined on 8/11/2014Food and service are always great at any Charley's restaurant. Charley's is our favorite upscale restaurant.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fantastic Evening. A must !!!!FranmarDined on 8/9/2014Our first time to Orlando from the UK and Charley's International Drive was recommended for fine steaks. We booked on line and our reservation was confirmed by email. We arrived and the valet took our car and we were warmly greeted as we walked in. The service was excellent and my son had the Wagyu steak which was as described "As the best" and it didn't disappoint, it was cooked perfect. I had the pork chop which was one of the best I've ever had and my little girl had the fillet which was perfect. We had desserts creme brûlée and chocolate sponge to finish. There was so many steakhouses to choose from but I think we went to the best and would highly recommend it.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Terrible experienceNevergobackDined on 8/8/2014This was the worst dining experience I've had in a very long time. The price of the food for the service, the ambience, the food was ridiculous. They stuck us in the back where it was very musty. The service seemed like they could care less to handle the simplest of tasks. The bathroom was disgusting. It had water all over the sink and floor and was just very dirty. I will never go back.
- Old Time Steak House CharmOpenTable Diner Since 2008Dined on 8/7/2014I felt like I was in an old-timey steak house. I loved the oldies music and quiet so you could talk ambience! Good food and time!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Steak is great.CriticHelenDined on 8/7/2014I asked a friend to recommend a steak restaurant during our visit to Orlando. He recommended Charley's without hesitation and he was spot on. It's not cheap but with so many cheap options this was a great change. The steak was only equalled but that I had in New York and that was fantastic! My lobster bisque had two whole lobster claws in it, well the meat anyway. The style is formally casual a nice change from the remainder of Orlando. Bottom line: if you love steak and style this is the place to enjoy an evening out.Special Features:
- Great steakmlmamaDined on 8/2/2014It was as we expected … unbelievable steak, but everything else was just okay. The grouper was okay (should have been amazing for $29.95), lettuce on house salad was wilty and overdressed, and broccoli was over cooked. Bread was yummy. Our waitress was awesome.Special Features:
- anniversary dinnergoodfoodDined on 8/1/2014The escargot and the stuffed shrimp for appetizers were very good. My wife had the stone crab appetizer for dinner which had very good taste however they could have been cracked a little better to make it easier for her to eat. I had the bison bone in rib eye which was very very good. The flavor was amazing. Very nice wine list and David Cross our server was very knowledgeable and friendly. We would definitely return and would recommend this restaurant highly to other diners.Special Features:

What do you want my fucking life story? Well tough shit. So yeah.......... Hi :)
my knuckles are busted my face bruised and battered my body war torn every night i go through this transformation to some it seems a bit brute and deranged but to its practioner its chaos in a perfect world everyone of us are adrenaline junkies swallowing our own blood while bathing in the blood of our opponent in a heated bliss we strike bone to flesh as we dance to the tune of the roaring crowd chanting for our deaths at the hands of are fellow bretheren who loves us whole heartedly enough not to show us mercy in any way its the type of cold hard love that we only know to most it would be concieved as hate but to the trained eye its a lesson in life outside of this brotherhood where no one will show you mercy through eyes swollen shut we dream of making it to the big show some do, some never will to the ones who do their names will be etched in the hall of fame and to the rest we weep in sorrow for our defeat and in happiness that one of us has tasted victory sweeter than life itself this is the life of a modern day warrior so i stand before you a broken man tendons stretched beyond capacity nose broken and blood flowing dont feel sad for me look in to our eyes in them burn a fury hotter then the flames of hell we will fight beyond the void of death this is the vicious cycle of a fighter.

I'm using quickbooks online plus – None of my parents are in the drop down list yet. Do I have to add them as customers then go back and create the "student" customers?
How to set up the QuickBooks customer list for parents and children
Latest posts by Blake Oliver (see all)

- How to collect and track customer deposits in FreshBooks - October 16, 2012
If you work with children and use QuickBooks, at some point you've probably wondered what's the best way to set up the QuickBooks customer list. Should you set it up by parent or by child? Parents pay the invoices, but children receive the services provided. It's helpful to have the parent name on the account for billing purposes, but it can be difficult for staff to remember parent names when they need to look up a child's account.
As a tutor, occupational therapist, or any service provider who works with children, your customer is the whole family. You need to be able to keep track of a parent or two, plus one or more children. The problem is that QuickBooks only gives you room for one first and last name per customer. Luckily, you don't have to choose. You can use sub-customers to create linked accounts for each member of the family. It takes a bit more work, but there are a few benefits that make the extra effort pay off:
- Makes reconciling calendar appointments with client charges easier.
- Allows creation of statements that show charges broken down by child.
- Reduces confusion when you have an assistant do billing for you. You may know all parents and children by name, but your assistant or bookkeeper probably doesn't. Even if you do all your own billing now, consider setting up sub-customers in case you decide to hand off billing to someone else down the road.
How to set up sub-customers in QuickBooks Online
- Select the "Customers" menu option and click the button marked "New Customer". ("Customers" may have been renamed "Clients" or "Patients" if you customized this field when setting up QuickBooks Online.)
- In the Customer Information box that appears, enter the child's first and last name.
- Check the box next to "This customer is a sub-customer".
- Select the appropriate parent name from the drop-down list.
- Make sure that "Bill with parent" is selected. This setting ensures that charges to the child's name are billed on invoices using the parent's name. Additionally, this box must be checked to ensure that payments received from a parent applies to a child's account.
What if I still don't want to use sub-customers?
Even if you don't want to use sub-customers, you can still keep track of both children and parents. Just set up the parent as your customer as usual. Place the child name(s) in the "Company" field. When you do a name search, QuickBooks searches the customer name and Company fields. This means that you can still find the customer account even if you only know the child's name. If you aren't sure about whether or not you'll want to use sub-customers down the road, setting up your customer list this way makes it easier to switch later.
6 Comments on "How to set up the QuickBooks customer list for parents and children"
Qbooks 2013 has added functionality of multiple contacts for each customer – works very well for our montessori. The child is the customer. His/her address includes the relevant parent's name for billing purposes (the parent who normally does the payment). The contacts are the parents who may or not have the same addresses or same last names.
I am the owner and also a professional accountant.
FYI, with the new mandatory upgrade of Quickbooks Online, the ability to show on invoices to clients (parent) which sub client (child) had the original charges has been completely lost. This has caused untold trouble and billing/tracking paralysis for many, but a fix has not been forthcoming, despite knowledge of the lapse for several months. Is there an alternative program that can handle this?

"The Virtual Planetary Laboratory: Modeling Signs of Habitability and Life on Extrasolar Planets"
Feb 1st
Posted by afuller in Current Events & Research
This Friday, February 4, 2011, at 12:30pm in John Bahcall Auditorium at the STScI, Dr. Vikki Meadows from University of Washington will give the next Planets, Life, and the Universe Astrobiology Lecture. The title of her talk will be "The Virtual Planetary Laboratory: Modeling Signs of Habitability and Life on Extrasolar Planets." Here are the details:
In the coming decades, the search for life outside our Solar System will be undertaken using astronomical observations of extrasolar terrestrial planets. To better inform our search, the NASA Astrobiology Institute's Virtual Planetary Laboratory team uses a suite of computer models to explore the interaction between a terrestrial planet and its parent star. The resulting models allow us to simulate extrasolar terrestrial planetary environments and spectra, and to define and quantify likely signs of planetary habitability and life. This talk will discuss the VPL models and results to date, including the detectability of planetary habitability and potential signs of life from alternative biospheres.

Friday, December 10, 2010 at 12:30 p.m. in the John Bahcall Auditorium – STScI (Light lunch provided and discussion at 12:00 p.m., talk at 12:30 p.m.) For more information see http://astrobiology.stsci.edu
Speaker: James Kasting, Penn State University
Title: HOW TO FIND A HABITABLE PLANET
Abstract: Over 400 planets have been found around nearby stars, but none of them is thought to be at all like Earth. The goal now is to identify rocky planets within the habitable zones of their stars and to search their atmospheres spectroscopically for signs of life. To do this, we need new space-based telescopes such as NASA's proposed Terrestrial Planet Finders or ESA's Darwin mission (all of which are indefinitely postponed at the moment). If spectra of extrasolar planet atmospheres can be obtained, the presence of O2, which is produced from photosynthesis, or O3, which is produced photochemically from O2, would under most circumstances provide strong evidence for life beyond Earth. But "false positives" for life may also exist, and these need to be clearly delineated in advance of such missions, if at all possible. I will also contrast my optimism about the search for complex life with the more pessimistic view expressed by Ward and Brownlee in their book, Rare Earth.
Webcast & Telecon Information:
We will webcast this talk via streaming video. Please make sure that your computer has RealPlayer, Windows Media Player, or VLC configured. For further information, please visit our website: astrobiology.stsci.edu.

"Will Alien Life Resemble Us (and How Could We Possibly Know)? Astrobiology, Evolution and the Amino Acids"
Aug 30th
The first lecture of the semester in the STSci Astrobiology Lecture Series is coming up this Friday! This lecture will be by Stephen Freeland from the Institute for Astronomy at the University of Hawaii. It'll be in Bahcall Auditorium at STSCI starting at 12pm on Friday, September 3rd. The lecture is entitled "Will Alien Life Resemble Us (and How Could We Possibly Know)? Astrobiology, Evolution and the Amino Acids." The abstract:
A fundamental challenge for astrobiology is to establish the relative contributions of chance versus predictability in the origin and evolution of life on our own planet. Thus, for example, all Earth-life creates metabolism from an interacting network of protein molecules that catalyze various biochemical reactions. Furthermore, early during evolution it had arrived at a standard set of 20 amino acid building-blocks with which to build each of these proteins. We now have good reason to think that many of these amino acids are formed in significant quantities throughout the galaxy – but so are many others – so would alien life be like us, and how could we possibly know?
Astrobiological Factors in Exoplanet Exploration Strategies
Jun 17th
We've got another lecture in the STSci Astrobiology Lecture Series coming up tomorrow! This month the lecture will be by Wes Traub from the Jet Propulsion Laboratory at Caltech. It'll be in Mudd 100 at 12:30pm tomorrow. The lecture is entitled "Astrobiological Factors in Exoplanet Exploration Strategies." The abstract:
What is the best strategy for finding signs of life beyond the Solar System? Until recent years this was a purely philosophical question, but today we have the technical ability to search for signs of life on exoplanets around nearby stars, so the question is now a practical one. To start, we ask what kind of signs of life should we be looking for, and where should we be looking? Next we might ask about the methods we could use for such a search, and the kinds of evidence that we expect to obtain. Finally we can ask about the prospects for starting this search in the coming decade.
After the lecture, the Astrobiology Club gets to meet with Traub at 3pm in Mudd 128. Don't miss out!
"Exploring a Nearby Habitable World"
May 4th
The next "Planets, Life, and the Universe" astrobiology lecture is this Friday, May 7th, from 12-2:30pm in Bahcall Auditorium at STSCI. The presenter is L. Drake Deming from the NASA Goddard Center for Astrobiology. Here is the lecture abstract:
The advent of cryogenic space-borne infrared observatories such as the Spitzer Space Telescope has lead to a revolution in the study of extrasolar planets and planetary systems. Already Spitzer has characterized the emergent infrared spectra of close-in giant exoplanets that orbit sun-like stars, using transit and eclipse techniques. Transits offer enormous advantages in characterizing the bulk properties (mass, radius) as well as the atmospheric composition of extrasolar planets. However, the nearest transiting and habitable extrasolar planet almost certainly does not orbit a Sun-like star. It orbits an M-dwarf star, and it could be a scant 10 parsecs distant from us, or even closer. After we find this unusual habitable world, we will characterize it using transit techniques. Already the ground-based MEarth survey has found a hot superEarth (T = 500 Kelvins) orbiting the M-dwarf star Gliese 1214, 10 parsecs from our own Sun. A space-based all-sky survey could extend the MEarth results to habitable-zone planets. When we have found such a world, the James Webb Space Telescope will be able to measure its atmospheric composition, and possibly even search for biosignatures.

Michael Palin
believe me - that took me hours... but it was worth it - american friends has so far been my absolute favourite movie!
and, i will continue posting - even if people do not care!
to the name of the file.
But I'm forgetting about it all the time.
Michael laughing!
Couldn't be any better.
Cheered me up a bit, thanks!
I recently got GBH but haven't had the time to watch any of it yet...now I feel like I have to MAKE TIME!!!
actually that was the purpose...
Can't let the drool dry out from the blog... :)
I've got the OCEAN next to me!!! awww I can't resist to that NAKED BODY!!! *DROOOOOOOOLS* *covers eyes with hands, not for shyness but for despair!*
"Consider... consider the lily"
I'm avery naughty girl.... OMG I'm becoming too naughty.... pleeeeaaasssseee HELP! *lick the screen on naked Michael's pic*
EDIT: does he wear any pants in the second picture?? 0____0
"Consider... consider the lily"
NO PANTS?!?!?!??!?! *looks over the edge of the pic!*
"Consider... consider the lily"
I wanna see him! *tries to jump into the photo*
"Consider... consider the lily"
Rubber ducks were for John originally I thought, hmmmmm....... the storyline is now changing. I wonder whatever happened to me bag o quarters and pointed sticks?
I know now it's not the moment, but i want to clearify that rubber ducks are moving evry where for the summer season! so you'll find them everywhere!
thank you
"Consider... consider the lily"
rubberducks on him?? rubber duck who cover his INTIMATE parts??? hmmmm it may be... BUT IT'S ALWYAS TOO NASTY!!!!! lol
"Consider... consider the lily"
Wery well ritten. This film shows, how terrific actor Michael is actually. And Robert Lindsay!
Well deserved Bafta for him, Michael could get one too.
And at least I can say - oh, I m watching this very good political drama, while Michael is running around nekkid... and wet.. :))
Very good takes Pixie :D I love that show. He does do some good nudies there dun he :D YUM YUM!!
And more to come!
Only need some time to watch.
Love him with that serious face and flashing eyes
What is GBH, anyway?
Sorry I'm so ignorant. :(
Videor Quaero Punctume
It is a British drama. Michael had one of the main characters who did sleep walking naked. He's also the headmaster at a school for special children. Those who know better, correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe there was only 1 season? I can't really expand on that, because I've only seen up to like episode 3 (whenever the little boy dies).
Don't worry, you're not ignorant. I didn't know about GBH until a few months after I joined this site. :)
Well you're dead now, so shut up!
It couldn't be more than one "season" because it's not a series in a soap opera kind of way. It's a TV film, but in 7 episodes.
It's my fave piece of TV ever, the most powerful acting of Michael and overall it's a masterpiece.
I can go on about it forever.
Brits can buy a DVD box set, it's totally worth it.
If you think of Michael as just a comic actor, you must see GBH.
Well, in any case you must see it.
I know I talk too much about Michael Palin...
Well, I couldn't really figure out how to describe it.
I really want to finish watching it, but downloading it takes waaay too long and so I'll patient with YouTube...once I have the time. He's an excellent actor, just overall.
Well you're dead now, so shut up!
I know people may disagree, but I'm particularly fond of the fourth. Thanks so much!

Do you want to retain versions each time an item it is edited? If so, how many versions? Do you want all site users to see all draft versions, or should they be visible only to the originator and specific people in your organization? The decision you make in each of these cases depends on the type and importance of items in your lists and libraries, the purpose of each item, the needs of your user group, and the level of security you must maintain.
When versioning is enabled in site lists, you can track and manage information as it evolves. You can look at earlier versions and recover them, if necessary. That is very handy, for example, when people realize that earlier versions of an item might be more accurate than later ones. Some organizations retain multiple versions of items in their lists for legal reasons or audit purposes.
By default, versioning is turned off. To turn it on and implement your versioning decisions, you must either have Full Control or Design permissions.
You might also want to track both major and minor versions of a file. A major version can signal that a document is ready for review by a wide audience, whereas the minor (draft) version is a work-in-progress and not yet ready for wide circulation.
Note Major and minor versions are only available for libraries, not for lists.
The Versioning Settings dialog contains three sections for lists and four sections for libraries. Each section requires decisions when you set up a list or library. Of course, if you have the necessary permissions, you can change the settings at a later date.
Note The Versioning Settings dialog box options differs slightly depending on whether you are working with lists or libraries. The table below reflects options available for both lists and library versioning settings.
Create a version each time you edit an item in this list/document library?
No is the default setting. For lists, If you select Yes, a new version of the item is created each time the item is edited.
For libraries only, you can select Create major versions or Create major and minor (draft) versions.
Keep the following number of versions
Keep drafts for the following number of major/approved versions
Important The set of options in this section are only available when the Content Approval section is set to Yes.
You can allow any user who has Read permissions to the list to view the drafts, or you can restrict the view to only those users who can edit items or to only the author of the item and the people who can approve items.
Note If the library will be storing Microsoft Project (.mpp) files that are synchronized with task lists on your site, clear this check box.
Top of Page
Take the following steps to enable and configure versioning in a list.
Note The Require checkout section appears only for a library.
You may determine, after a while, that versioning is not really necessary for your list. If you have Full Control or Design permissions, you can remove versioning from the list.
How does versioning work in a list or library?Set up a library to require check-out of files

Daniel Woods on Defying Gravity, ~8C, Thunder Ridge, CO
Björn Pohl - UKC, Nov 2013
© Cameron Maier/Daniel Woods (Instagram)
Daniel Woods has made the first ascent of Defying gravity, ~8C, at Thunder Ridge in South Platte, Colorado.
According to an interview with Max Krimmer on B3 Bouldering, Daniel did the problem after four days of work.
According to the same interview, the 25ft ~60 degree problem breaks down into two dynos, an ~8B+ followed by an ~8A/+.
Applying the standard formula [8C + X = 8C] we quickly arrive at the correct grade.
Should be around 8C, no?
On Instagram, he writes the problem has some explosive moves and that it's For sure in my top 3 list of best boulders that I have done.
Recently, Daniel also made the first ascent of The Ice knife sds another ~8C [8A+ + 8B+/C = 8C]. In all fairness, he did tell R & I this one could potentially break into ~8C+ territory.
