Rated 4 out of 5 by PORTTRAVELER Very Pleasurable experience! This is a very nice hotel in the middle of Manhattan. Location could not be more prime. It is close enough to Times Square but yet not on top of it. Hotel staff was VERY pleasant and accommodating. Obtaining taxis was very easy due to the Taxi person whistling taxis for us. Room size was also very nice. If possible try to ask for a corner room. :) Rooms well kept and renovated. (We were told we were in a renovated room?) Def would recommend and visit again. Only thing I did not like was paying $3.25 per item to check baggage at the Baggage Check upon check out since we were staying in the city a few hours after check out. Overall, :) . November 3, 2011
Rated 5 out of 5 by MikeG11 Staff was most helpful and professional Staff went out of their way to make my business stay as seamless as possible and were professional and caring. September 27, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by rj2013 A piece of heaven in the heart of New York city The room was beautiful, well appointed and very spacious. The staff treated us like VIPs. The front desk, the bell captains, the elevator security staff, the cleaning staff and finally Jorge Leiva (front desk supervisor) seemed to go out of their way to make us feel welcome and offered help at every turn. We've already recommended to friends and can't wait to return!!!! September 2, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by ToniCTravelAmeniti1 Service Squared in Times Square The location for this property is convenient to Times Square. The property needs improvement. The spg recognitions is subpar but it is a good alternative to more expensive hotels. Very hard to get an upgrade as an elite traveler. It is telling when a lot of platinum members rate this hotel so low. They really need to improve. January 10, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by Rajeev Very Basic for the price you pay. Staff only does blame game Started with a long Q for check in. Took 30 mins to reach the front desk as it had only one person manned up. The SPG Gold and Platinum had two front desk with only 1 or 2 guests waiting. On talking to front desk, she said its not her decision. Front desk manager said staff on holiday can't do anything. Room Towels and Beds were stinky. Had a rotten smell, though they were changed daily I think the laundry used had a problem. Again staff mentioned not their problem. Guest services were very non courteous. Asked for Engish breakfast tea bags and was told can give only Wild Blossom orange or Earl Grey even though they do serve English tea bags in Hudson Market. Was asked to go for room service if I needed English tea bags. Concierge gave wrong information about Statue of Liberty cruise timings. One of them knew about VIP passes from hotel for Empire state another one had no idea about it. For the price I paid it was lower than basic amenities and service. August 27, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Billy65 Great hotel, great location We were in NY for the US Open tennis tournament and enjoyed staying at this hotel. Subway stops were close, trains to US open easy to get, hotel just north of the busy times square madness. Enjoyed the concierge floor and all the staff. Our personal on-property liaison Jonathan Lomitola was very friendly and efficient. Got us the pillows we needed, made sure we could check in early. September 24, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by millce1 Smelly Room, Uncomfortable Bed I walked into the room and immediately noticed a smell of mildew covered up by industrial cleaner, coming from the bathroom. Since it was already late and I was staying in the room less than 12 hours total, I didn't complain to the front desk. If I were staying any longer, I would have, and I'm not the complaining type. I also assumed that all the rooms would have this nasty smell. In addition, the bed was very uncomfortable and incredibly squeaky. Given that I had paid over $400 for the room, I was very underwhelmed. August 25, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by minie13 Horrible The front desk is not friendly, they don't even make an effort to treat you well. I never had such a bad treatment in a 5 stars hotel. Is unfair to pay more than 400 usd per night and don't even have free wifi in rooms. Even 10 euro hostels have. To use the frigobar, you need to pay extra money. It doesn't make sense. I felt like if I wanted to use anything more than the bed bath and tv, I would have to pay a lot, even though I was already paying a lot of money. I do not recomend this hotel for anyone and for sure will never come back. It doesn't make any difference if you are a SPG member or not. I have never stayed in a hotel with this price which has plastic curtain. absolutely disappointed. I stayed 25 days in this horrible hotel. October 25, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Jennifer26 This hotel treats guests well I always return to the Sheraton because they are attentive to their guest's needs and respect their loyalty to the hotel. August 11, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by stb64 Excellent location We were very surprised when we arrived. I have nothing but praise for this hotel. I have stayed at many other hotels in NYC but have found a new home away from home when we visit again. Excellent hotel! September 3, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by Atlax Not for road warriors who need restful sleep Given its location, the rooms are very noisy, especially at night with the subway sounds, cars and tourists all mixed together!! That was the primary reason that I cut short my stay and moved to another hotel. The response from the Reception was that all rooms were like this so there was no point moving to another room! I have stayed at other hotels along this stretch all the way to Times Square and never faced such a ruckus - couldn't sleep for half the night and got a headache! Apart from that, during check-in, the SPG counter was under-staffed; I waited 10 minutes and then moved to the other line which was moving 5x faster. October 15, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by Skinner74 Small "superior room" with zero water pressure I was disappointed with my stay. I chose to use more Starpoints to get the Superior room (can't imagine what the Standard room would be) and had a room with barely enough space for the king sized bed to fit. No space for single suitcase that I wasn't tripping. Bathroom was tiny. Water pressure was non-existent (think dribble). Paid $25 extra for club level access which was to include evening hors d'oerves and breakfast - both of which were minimal at best. Overall it was a very poor experience and I will find an alternative next time. July 16, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by Mark17 Extremely Disrecpectful operator I have been staying in this hotel for over past three years. on August 15th around 2:10pm EST I called to request for a folio and the operator was kept transferring me to wrong extension witout even completely listening the request. For the fourth time I called and asked to please fully listen the request so that she can transfer to appropriate party, her response was "I dont know anything i work in a different department" and she transferred me again to some ext. I called back again and she kept putting me hold and ignoring the call. I would rate the hotel due to this incident unsatifactory on the our corporate website also. August 15, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by ckw11 Excellent hotel in a great location. We had an excellent stay at this hotel. We booked the hotel for 4 nights through Priceline. We were upgraded to a renovated king which was beautifully appointed and clean. The staff throughout our stay were very professional and friendly. The only downside was the valet parking operated by the garage beside the hotel...we rarely drive into New York...good news...they were _very_ slow both on arrival, and on departure...like 30 minutes+... the hotel itself though was perfect...we added a day to our stay from the Sheraton website... December 26, 2011
Rated 5 out of 5 by GulsahandReha Amazing Hotel! Amazing Staff!! We spent our honeymoon in this hotel and loved it! All the employees were so kind and they thought every detail before our arrival to make our honeymoon perfect. The front Office manager Seher really did her best to give us the best room, our housekeeper Lauren was also great. All the employees at the Club Lounge and lobby bar were so attentive and really made our days in New York unforgettable. Thank you everyone once again :) August 28, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Taramizoo Very Nice I had an excellent stay here, I love this hotel. It's very clean, comfortable, luxurious and they even give you something special if it's your birthday! November 16, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Gunner Awesome all the way around, baby!! A quick check in was superb. When we got to our room, WOW a beautiful, beautiful suite on the corner seeing Central Park and Time Square! Thank you so much. Love the electric curtain openers!!! The housekeeper for the week was the most friendliest and kind woman. We love her! The Club Lounge on the 44th floor was VERY GENEROUS to everyone and it was WONDERFUL to see the same employees there for so many years!! Excellent staff throughout the entire hotel down to the bellmen! We are very happy! Thank you Sheraton New York!! I am a VIP member with Starwood Not platinum or gold but a real VIP member and you did not disappoint. November 30, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Gerry14 Rosaleen & Gerry Just arrived back to Scotland via Ireland from New York. In my earlier review I omitted to mention special thanks to Director of Reservations Sharon Gilsenan and her team who looked after us from check-in till check-out . Nothing was a bother to them. Can't wait till our next visit. Five star treatment from classy people. September 23, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by TypicalTourist awful services and not so smart management Valet service parking was no where to be found upon arrival on 12/26/11. Was told that their associated garage was full, but did recommend a nearby garage where I learned that garage was also full. Finally, into the hotel lobby at 3:30PM after wasted nearly an hour on parking. To my surprise, the check-in line was about a mile long. Waited for another 90 minutes just for check-in (into a merely mediocre room). Ready to relax in my room? Not so fast with a cold room. Not to speak about the heating unit, there was no thermostat, but a very old on/off switch that was well hidden away. Next morning, I was awaken and was greeted by the renovation banging noise. One night was more than enough experience with this overrated Sheraton New York Hotel & Towers. BTW, no pool & SPA! December 27, 2011
Rated 1 out of 5 by jinnyLA not pleased with service arrived from a red-eye expecting to have room ready to freshen up before meeting. no room ready, couldn't find reservations. staff unhelpful, unapologetic, and borderline rude. did not recognize SPG status, offered nothing in consideration. room was small with a bathroom you could barely turn-around in. Overall poor experience. June 19, 2012
Rated 3 out of 5 by mcccc Excellent location but Staff service was mixed The service here is very mixed - I had both good and bad experiences here. The service at reception check-in was very ordinary. Staff were NOT friendly, NOT helpful, and definitely NOT willing to go out of their way to help you. Concierge service was mixed. Depending on which staff member you got. I personally got ripped off US$50 for an airport shuttle from hotel to airport. The concierge staff told me that it would be US$50. I paid in cash and with this, I assumed that the shuttle cost was fully paid. However, I found out when I got into the shuttle, half way to the airport, that I still owed the full cost of the shuttle for 2 people, which was US$37!! My suggestion is to book this online yourself. The shuttle driver said that the hotel staff must have charged me US$50 to book the shuttle on my behalf, which was more than the shuttle fee itself! This was sneaky and uncalled for. I would never have expected staff at a well known, international hotel like Sheraton to have staff like this working there - I hope Sheraton NYTS looks into this - this type of dishonest behaviour can really damage their well know reputation. Even the fellow shuttle travellers asked us which hotel booked our shuttle so that they would not go there next time. So beware! I did however have one very friendly and professional staff with excellent manner, integrity and service, which helped to make my stay very pleasant. The VIP manager (Anne Marie C) was basically the only person that cared about the customers. She was very helpful, she followed issues up and made sure requests were done properly and efficiently. She personally organised a smooth transfer for me from my initial club room to a corner room on the top floor for me. I was impressed and very pleased that Sheraton NY Times Square actually had one such quality staff there. Friendly, helpful and efficient. If you are reading this Anne Marie, a big thank you for all your help. You alone have changed my stay from being ordinary to excellent. September 26, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by Terry17 Baggage fees at hotel???? We arrived 9/22 for a 1 night stay. The Clinton Global Initiative was at hotel, so to say the hotel was overrun would be kind. Went to the SPG Preferred desk (gold members) there was a customer being helped and 1 waiting in front of us. After helping the customer at desk, the employee left , we waited a few minutes then we got on regular line. After we were through being helped we saw the same customer was still waiting for "Preferred" help. We get to our room 3515 the keys do not work, back down we go. While we were dressing the next day my husband sat on couch, he called me over the entire dust ruffle was stained we are not sure if it was vomit or red wine....disgusting in any event. Instead of getting a late check out we decide to check bags. We go down to the bell hop who RUDELY informs us go to 6th floor we don't check bags. We go back to the 6th floor (note there are NO signs in room or elsewhere to advise you of this). We then find out there is a $3.25 fee per bag!! Is this new or just a way to make $ off conventions? Of course there were lines at every counter so there was no one to talk to. This hotel is geared towards conferences but seriously bag fees? No customer service to be seen anywhere as a Starwood member this hotel ranks very low. Would not recommend at all. September 25, 2012
Rated 1 out of 5 by ALEX51ARG LOUSY RESERVATIONS This is the SECOND time my reservation was misinterpreted. I arrive always early morning so book AND PAY the night before so as to have room ready. FRONT DESK finds a free room doesn´t care reservation is in place an PAID and just goes and uses room. I arrive early morning after long 15 hs flight and my room is not available (NO FREE I AM PAYING EVEN NOT USING THAT NIGHT) and nobody can fix the problem until you go thru very rough discussions with mgr on duty. Repeat this is the SECOND time this happens. November 22, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by pam410 Pamela Grigsby Really enjoyed my stay, the room was really clean and updated. The breakfast bar isn't as good as the Sheraton Music City in Nashville but the service was EXCELLENT. I can't pronounce my waiter for the 3 day stay name but it began with an E. and i am pulling Luzviminda from my receipt as the last name. He was the highlight of our stay at your hotel and has left a lasting impression with my mom!!! If i return to NY the Sheraton NY Times will be my place of choice and I have highly recommended your hotel with everyone that I have come in contact with to share my New York visit. Thanks so much for the great service!! March 5, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by Drews Terrible Hotel in a Great Location I experienced two major problems, one related to an unacceptable room, the other incompetent service. The hotel is in the middle of renovations. The unrenovated rooms are small, dingy, and are filled with old, outdated furnishings. They should not be listed in the same inventory as the new rooms for the same prices, it's just not right. So yea, the rooms aren't great, but here's the real problem: only half of the hotel rooms have climate control systems, the other half have been switched over to heat (the AC is off for the season). Thus, on an unusually warm evening in Manhattan, no AC means the room is very stuffy. I called down to ask them to turn on the AC. They told me that they couldn't and that the whole hotel was switched over to heat. Of course, now I know that was a lie, since half the hotel has been renovated. But they didn't tell me that on the phone. No, they told me I should just open a window. But of course, being blocks from Times Square, an open window at night means you might not be hot, but most definitely will not get any sleep from the traffic and construction noise going on outside. So they finally said they could bring be a fan, and I said sure. Now, onto service. My call down was around 1130PM. The fan arrived at about 1:30 with a loud knock on the door while I was already in bed. That's really unacceptable under any circumstances. Shame on this hotel, never staying here again. November 11, 2011
Rated 3 out of 5 by hon31 Hotel Amenities Our room was adequate but the bathroom was incredibly small with very little counter room. shower was weak and we could not get really hot water at any time. Trying to print boarding passes was a giant headache with no printers working or without ink to print. Finally got a girl at the desk to print info so we could get passes at airport. Cab service was good and convenient. No internet in room unless you pay $15 daily and they charge $3.25 to check baggage if you need time before you leave. Few hangers in the closet for hanging clothing. We have stayed in much better places for less and had much better service. Will not return to this hotel when we go back to the city. December 3, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by Antonio Is this the best Starwood has to offer in New York? The name of this hotel is The Sheraton New York ("& Towers" has been dropped from the name. We requested early check-in & for 1 pm a room upgrade. On arrival were told our room was not ready! Returned at 3:30 and were assigned to Room 4541. Room was a standard dbl - no upgrade. The club lounge was overcrowded and there was no attendant on the weekend. I asked to switch our Plat amenity to breakfast vouchers and was denied. Then I discovered the Sheraton unilaterally redeemed my points for a dining credit! This has now been reversed, but it left a very bad taste. Is this the best Starwood has to offer in Manhattan? May 26, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by meg53 Feels like you are still at the airport When i pay $440 for a hotel room even in NY, I expect to be treated better than I do at the airport. Waited in line 30 minutes to be told no room was ready. then paid $3.75 for them to store my bags for the 4 hours it took for them to get me a room. Of course, I had to wait in line 10 minutes to check my bag. Then I had to wait in line another 20 minutes to ask about my room again. It was ready but then another 10 minutes at the bag storage area to get my bags. Unbelievable! The room was fine once I got there but being treated like a herd of cows prior to getting there was not worth. I will never stay there again. May 21, 2012
Rated 1 out of 5 by 2012katie No flexibility with client needs Both check-in and check-out processes were stressful - with just 3 rooms & 6 people. Internet system (used to pull up information) is limiting staff to give faster service, to pull up client requested information, and the inability to respond to client concerns. Without the flexibility or genuine willingness to listen to a client's needs and situations, you will lose clientele. Also, our room was connected to another room (via a door) and noise carried through, which made it hard to rest. June 5, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Fritz10 50 th Wedding Anniversary Terry thanks for your personal welcome. We both had a most enjoyable stay and can only praise your staff for thier kindness and caring attitude toward two seniors. A wonderful end to our anniversary trip. Thank You September 23, 2014

Healthy Weight Loss
Eating more healthy foods, getting plenty of exercise, drinking enough water… everyone has thought about changing some of those habits at least once in their life. But the truth is losing weight is much more than just a couple of these things.
About Healty Weight Loss
It's possible that you have already tried one of more of those crash diets with which you lose weight quickly. Often they work, but unfortunately all of them are very unhealthy for your body. In the end they have cause more damaged than you ever expected and when you return to your old diet, the weight comes back quickly and sometimes even more than ever before.
Losing weight and staying healthy for the rest of your life requires a total lifestyle change. And therefore you need weight loss strategies that help you avoid making unhealthy choices.
First of all, you need to empower yourself. The easiest way to do this is by keeping track of your results and being critical of the things you do to lose weight.
Secondly, you need social control by your environment. This doesn't mean that people need to tell you what you're doing wrong. (this actually doesn't help you at all) You need a group of people (or a couple of individuals) in your life that support you every step of the way.
Weight Loss Strategies That Will Help You
1. Keep track of your results
This might sound strange, but yes not everyone keeps track of their weight loss results. The reason for this is that keeping track of the results sometimes discourages people. People want to see results quickly; even in a couple of days if possible.
However, losing weight isn't not some kind of a quick fix. You need to prepare your body for it and do it one step of a time. Compare it with running a marathon: you can't just run a marathon without any training. Same thing counts for losing weight.
If you keep a diary of every day and write down the results, you will be collecting information that you can use for the rest of your life. Losing weight is a lifestyle chance and first you need to change your habits and attitude.
2. Join a weight loss challenge/group
Accomplishing a goal is much easier when being done together. If you have always tried to lose weight on your own, maybe now has the time come to join a weight loss challenge. The support from friends and family or even strangers who also like to lose weight can help you through tough times.
If everyone keeps telling you not to give up while they are following the same diet as you and getting the same exercise, you will feel more support than ever before.
How To Lose Weight In A Natural Way
Everyone knows someone who has tried many different diets and exercise programs, but never achieved the results they were hoping for. The truth is… it's often not their fault. Their body was just not ready to lose weight! The only way to lose weight in a natural way is by first preparing the body for it. Getting healthy first is the main solution, then the weight loss will follow naturaly.
If you never had any weight loss success with different diets and exercise programs, then I would like to welcome you to the Skinny Fiber 90 day challenge.
What Is Trim Down Fiber Plus+?
Skinny Fiber is an all natural weight loss solution that prepares your body to lose weight. It's not some kind of a quick fix, but a fiber product with amazing weight loss qualities. On the official website you can find a lot of information about this weight loss product.
Trim Down Fiber Plus+ Ingredients
Trim Down Fiber Plus+ consists of 3 main weight loss ingredients: Glucomannan, Yacon root and Raspberry Ketone. Watch the following video to learn how Trim Down Fiber Plus+ works.
Trim Down Fiber Plus+ has been successfully used by thousands of people worldwide to lose weight. Here are a couple of customer testimonials by real people.
Trim Down Fiber Plus+ Testimonials
How To Use Trim Down Fiber Plus+
The greatest thing about Trim Down Fiber Plus+ is that you don't need to change your diet or exercise habits if you don't want to. Just take 2 Trim Down Fiber Plus+ pills twice a day 30 minutes before your 2 biggest meals of the day. Don't forget to drink plenty of water which will accelerate the detoxing process.

You know what they say darlings: Taylor Swift's trash is another woman's treasure! I hear that Rachel McAdams is crushing hard on Jake Gyllenhaal and the feeling may be more than mutual.
A minion in one of those fly-over states said she spotted RM and JG at dinner in a deux in Pittsburgh, where they're filming a boxing movie, Southpaw. But then just this week they were here in Manhattan, looking awfully cozy at an HBO sports party where they watched the Miguel Cotto boxing match.
Gee watching two men beat each other bloody–how romantic! But then again, when your plus one is Jakey, I guess you'd certainly have something pleasant to look at, no? Well, then again, that beard.
"They arrived together and sat next to each other [and were] "in deep conversation," dished my witness, adding that they stayed for an hour at the party and "looked happy and very friendly."
Very interesting! I rather like the idea of these two together–as long as he gets rid of that dreadful facial hair, bleccch. What say you about this potential new pairing, hmm? Will JG find The One in Regina George? Or is this just a show-mance during filming?

In line fuel pum troubleshooting
In line fuel pum troubleshooting
Normally when you tap a DC Motor and it starts its going bad. Use a DVOM and check for voltage if you have voltage. Check the ground if you have both and the pump doesn't run buy a new pump. You can also buy one from a scrap yard.
Pulling the pan and cleaning the strainer would probably help your oil pressure.
I finally found a replacement pump at the scrap yard, but this was not easy, why? because evreytime I asked for a E150 89 (Imade about 24 calls) they told me no inline pump listed on their computer...So I began to search over the net on salvage yard online for F150 4.9 5.0 and 5.8 1984 to 1989 and they had a inline pump listed. So I went back to rockauto.com to see what part numbers listed for the F150 and it was the same! wow, so I called back the scrap yard and ask for a F150 89 4.9 FRAME MTD fuel pump and bang they sold me it for 50$ a nice CARTER almost unused, this make my day man. I dismantle the old pump a BOSCH original from the van and I noticed that the brushes were at the bottom line and the stator was eaten near 3/32 inches and a little loose at the shaft were the impeller is. It still working but it doesn't have that much pressure so I will use this old tranny for an outside water pump. Now the van is powerfull on high speed and doesn't sputter anymore. A new carte pump here details around 200$, I'm happy with my purchase.So that's the story.
Have a good day all!

Letters from Burmaby Aung San Suu Kyi
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
In these unforgettable letters, Aung San Suu Kyi, one of the world's most inspiring figures, reaches out beyond Burma's borders to paint a vivid and poignant picture of her native land. She celebrates the courageous army officers, academics, and everyday people who have supported the National League for Democracy, often at great risk to their own lives. She reveals how state oppression has adversely affected everything from the national diet to traditions of hospitality. She also evokes the beauty of the country's seasons and scenery, customs and fetivities, which remain-after everything-so close to her heart.
About the Author
Aung San Suu Kyi is the pre-democracy opposition leader in Myanmar, formerly known as Burma. She has been kept under detention for most of the past two decades. Her party, the National League for Democracy, won an overwhelming victory in 1990 elections but was denied power by the military, which has ruled since 1962. She is still being held by the government of Myanmar.

The last step in the rear brake installation is attaching the parking brake cable and rubber brake hoses. Another very nice touch in the CPP setup is that it includes a nifty band clamp with a mounting tab that wraps around the axletubes. This holds the hose in place and eliminates the need to weld a mounting tab to the rearend.

Book Description:
For almost three decades, oil has provided Nigeria with earnings surpassing most other African countries. Such good fortune, in combination with other resources, including a population of nearly 100 million, has contributed to a national sense of importance and destiny. Nevertheless, these aspirations of grandeur have been consistently and perhaps cruelly undermined by a myriad of domestic and external factors.In this book, Steven Wright explores a wide range of issues that have arisen since Nigerian independence in 1960, and also seeks to explain the policies and pitfalls of successive military and civilian governments. Two key themes underpin and bring focus to the text, namely Nigeria's dual struggles for stability and status. Taking into consideration that military governments have held power in Nigeria for all but four years since 1966, the book offers a critical examination of the permutations of government since 1960 and the social, political, and economic factors influencing events. In addition, Wright provides an assessment of current efforts to re-civilianize and (re)democratize the country.The struggle for status is a more subtle issue, centering on Nigeria's pursuit of recognition as the "leader" of Africa. An analysis of the country's foreign policy and position within the international system illuminates the difficulties in achieving this aspiration. The author explores these and other critical themes, providing a clear understanding of Nigerian political economy since 1960 and the challenges Nigeria faces in the closing years of this century.

Visiting the zoo in Amersfoort, Holland.
Thanks so much for the compliment!
Well, it's actually quite easy. The best thing to do is find a horse who's easy to take photos of, for example those last photos of Q were made when there were still some fireworks going of, and Q is quite afraid of them, so that's a 100% chance of having photos of a horse that's paying attention and with his/her ears up front. It's also very easy when you have a second person who can help you, e.g to hold your horse, make noises/movements so your horse is paying attention, or when you want action photos, to let your horse run. I'm always alone, and I can tell you that it's sometimes really difficult.
Also I stress you to make a lot of pictures. My camera isn't very good, for some reasons it can't make sharp pictures anymore, so when I make e.g 100 photos, 10 of them are good/sharp enough to use. What I also do, is first shoot some pictures on 'auto' mode, and when I'm happy with the pictures I have I start to play around with the settings and try out new things. So I'm sure I always have some good photos :)
And the most important note: practice! Don't expect to immediately make 100% sharp photos with perfect lighting, because that ain't gonna happen. Pick an easy object that's always in the same position (a fence for example) and just try out all different things. How does the sun affect your photos? What happens when you open or close the diaphragm? That kind of stuff, just play around and get to know your camera, create a bit of your own style; and then think about how you like your pictures to be. I like lots of colours and close-up pictures, but maybe you are more of a landscape person. Just find that out about yourself.
I hope this has helped you, and if not just send me another message, or maybe some pictures so I can maybe help you a bit more :)
I know he is. He's turning 27 this year, and he's got Cushing's disease/PPID which makes it a bit harder to get him fat. He also got a really rough summer; he was extremely thin so I'm really happy that he's looking so good right now, I couldn't wish for more! This are of course just a couple of lame reasons, but I can assure that he's being well fed. He's got unlimited hay throughout the day, he's in the field for at least 9 hours every day of the year (24/7 in summer) and he's got the concentrates, supplements and medication he needs. :)
and this reply got a little longer than I wanted but ok
You must be kidding me?

Google Fires Back About Search Engine Spam
Soulskill posted more than 3 years ago | from the it's-not-me-it's-you dept.270
coondoggie writes "The folks at Google are taking issue over spam and the quality of Google searches, which some claim has gone down in recent months. Today on Google's official blog, Principal Engineer Matt Cutts said, 'January brought a spate of stories about Google's search quality. Reading through some of these recent articles, you might ask whether our search quality has gotten worse. The short answer is that according to the evaluation metrics that we've refined over more than a decade, Google's search quality is better than it has ever been in terms of relevance, freshness and comprehensiveness. Today, English-language spam in Google's results is less than half what it was five years ago, and spam in most other languages is even lower than in English.' Cutts also explained that the company has made a few significant changes to their method of indexing."

In December 2011, The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge visited homeless charity Centrepoint, which is based in London. Prince William is a patron of the charity, as was his late mother, Princess Diana.
During the event, Kate and william viewed a group session at Centrepoint's "Workwise" programme, which enables participants to prepare themselves to find a job. They engaged in a festive cookery class and William even engaged in some dancing with other members at the charity!
Harriet Armstrong has very kindly allowed us to publish her photographs from the event. Here's William dancing:
We love how happy Will and Kate both look in these photos, plus Harriet's photos really show the great atmosphere at the event! Many thank yous Harriet. See the rest of Harriet's photographs on Centrepoint's Facebook page, here.
Kate's outfit:
Kate wore an olive green turtleneck jumper dress to the event today, cinched in with a black belt and paired with sheer black tights and boots.
The dress is from Ralph Lauren's mainstream blue label (as opposed to the purple or black labels, which are more expensive).
Kate's boots are an old favourite: the Aquatalia Rumba boots, which we've seen her wear on many occasions.
Finally, Kate's wearing her Kiki McDonough 'Grace' earrings.
About Centrepoint:
Centrepoint helps over 1,200 homeless young people between the ages of 16-25 every year by providing more than a place to stay. Young adults can also find a range of emotional, educational and health support, plus the charity offers encouragement and opportunities to learn new skills, gain independence and grow in confidence.
According to the Centrepoint website, the charity has always been close to the Prince William' s heart as he used to visit the centre along with his mother during his childhood. The Prince became Patron of Centrepoint in 2005. In 2009, he slept on the streets of London with Centrepoint's CEO Seyi Obakin in temperatures as low as -4C to deepen his understanding of homelessness.
Interesting fact about Centrepoint:
Centrepoint's CEO Seyi Obakin attended William and Kate's wedding with 20-year-old Shozna, a user of the charity from east London.
William met Shozna at the "100 Women in Hedge Funds" event in 2010, where she made a great impression on the Prince, leading him to break royal protocol and give her a hug! This led the Prince to later invite Shozna to attend the royal wedding. For the wedding, Shozna had a dress designed and made specially for her by Raishma Islam, who was a former assistant to Princess Diana's dress designer Elizabeth Emanuel.

Setting up a budget takes effort, and if you do it right, the benefits outweigh the time invested. A good budget doesn't just help you save money, it also helps you stay on track in reaching your savings goals. Angeline Tan, a Certified Financial Planner with Great Eastern Life sees many people who say they want to save money.
The successful ones, she says, are those who plan and have budgets. "It's the science of self-monitoring – if something is being monitored then you are more likely to achieve that goal," says Tan.
First, determine your monthly income. This includes your salary, rental income from property you own and anything that comes in on a monthly basis. Next, figure out how much you spend. Keep all bills and receipts you've collected and write down everything you've paid for in a month, whether it's by cash or credit card. Be honest and track every single expenditure. Implementing a good budget only works if what you've set up is completely accurate.
List all your spending under these three categories: fixed expenses, committed expenses and discretionary expenses.
Fixed expenses include housing, insurance, taxes and car payments, things that don't change from month to month. Divide the sum by 12 to get the monthly cost. Under committed expenses, list utilities, mobile phone charges, food, transportation, credit card payments, children's school fees, and allowances for parents – these are things you're committed to.
Everything else falls under discretionary expenses: spending on clothing, entertainment, school books, children's extra-curricular activities, medical bills, etc.
As for vacations and gifts for special occasions, add up how much you spend in a year, divide by 12 and you'll have an idea of how much it costs per month. Once you've written everything down, you'll have an honest picture of where your money goes.
There's no secret to figuring out how to save money. "If you're just starting out, recognise the very basic principle of financial discipline – spend less than you earn," says Gabriel Yap, Reader's Digest Asia's Money $avvy columnist.
Take a good hard look at your expenses. If there's more money going out than coming in, it's time to reduce your spending. Start with discretionary expenses. That's usually the easiest to cut back. Perhaps you can eat out once instead of twice a week.
Next, look at your committed expenses. Can you take the bus or train instead of a taxi? Can you downgrade your mobile phone plan? Be more energy and water efficient at home – that can help lower your utility bills.
If your fixed expenses are more than your monthly income, you may have to think about making some big lifestyle changes or else you won't be able to save any money. Perhaps you can get rid of the car, or move into a smaller apartment. Remember, the goal of a budget is to help you build up your savings.
How much should you be spending, and conversely, saving? It depends on whether you're single or married, have children, live with your parents or support them, and how old you are. A general rule of thumb is you should be saving at least 10 to 15 percent of your income after tax. Obviously, the more the better, but this is the minimum you should be saving. As for expenses, housing is typically your biggest cost and here you should only spend one-third of your take home pay.
If you're just starting out in making a budget, you could try the 50-30-20 plan suggested by Harvard professor Elizabeth Warren. Your fixed and committed expenses should make up half of your after-tax income; 30 percent is discretionary spending and the final 20 percent goes to savings.
It may seem daunting and a bit overwhelming to go from barely making ends meet to saving a chunk of your income, but having a plan in place is the first step.

Planning for

doesn't need to be
All you need to do
is take the first step.
1. Shop around for credit cards and savings accounts. Compare interest rates and benefits.
2. Don't pay annual credit card fees. Get the bank to waive your annual fees. Especially in places where there's a lot of competition, call the bank and threaten to cancel your credit card.
3. Go online. Many banks waive fees and charges if you pay bills and transfer money online. Some even give better deposit rates on accounts (e-accounts) where everything is done via the internet.
4. Inform the bank if you're travelling overseas or about to make a large purchase on your credit card. Banks might think there's a suspicious charge on your card if your spending pattern changes. The last thing you want is your credit card not to work while you're on vacation.
5. Credit card insurance might be helpful if your available credit limit is high and you want to protect yourself from charges resulting from lost or stolen credit cards. It's cheaper to buy it from an insurance firm rather than the credit card company itself.
6. Read Up. There are many books, magazines and websites to help you brush up on your personal finance skills. Some of them even have online calculators to help you figure out your financial goals. Try smartmoney.com, moneysense.gov.sg or fool.com for a start.
7. Use a 30 day rule to help curb impulse buys. If you want to buy something that is not a necessity, write it down along with the date. Tell yourself you won't buy it until a month later. Chances are, you won't want it as much when you revisit the item on your list.
8. Dollar Cost Averaging is a time-tested, easy way for beginners to invest in stocks and funds. Contribute on a monthly basis. This smoothens out the average cost of your investment by taking into effect fluctuations in the price.
9. Always ask if there's a credit card discount at restaurants, hotels, movie theatres, etc. before playing.
10. Read the fine print on your credit card statements to understand how credit card companies calculate your fees and payement amounts.

Enhanced Training Could Strengthen DOD's Best Value Tradeoff Decisions
GAO-11-8: Published: Oct 28, 2010. Publicly Released: Oct 28, 2010.
Additional Materials:

(202) 512-3000
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
The Department of Defense (DOD) obligated about $380 billion in fiscal year 2009 to acquire products and services. One approach DOD can take to evaluate offerors' proposals is the best value tradeoff process in which the relative importance of price varies compared to non-cost factors. The National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2010 required GAO to review DOD's use of the best value tradeoff process, specifically when non-cost factors were more important than price. In response, GAO determined (1) how often and for what types of contracts DOD used the best value tradeoff process; (2) why and how DOD used such an approach; and (3) challenges, if any, DOD faces in using the best value tradeoff process. GAO identified a probability sample of new, competitively awarded fiscal year 2009 contracts in which DOD obligated $25 million or more. GAO reviewed guidance, solicitations, source selection decisions, and other documents for 129 contracts and interviewed DOD contracting and program staff about the use of the best value tradeoff process.
In fiscal year 2009, DOD used best value processes for approximately 95 percent of its new, competitively awarded contracts in which $25 million or more was obligated. Almost half of DOD's contracts--47 percent--were awarded using a tradeoff process in which non-cost evaluation factors, when combined, were more important than price. DOD used best value tradeoffs principally to acquire services, such as construction of troop housing, as well as for professional management services. DOD used the best value tradeoff process in 88 of the 129 contracts GAO reviewed. For 60 of the 88 contracts, DOD weighted non-cost factors as more important than price. In these cases, DOD was willing to pay more for a contractor that demonstrated it understood complex technical issues more thoroughly, could provide a needed good or service to meet deadlines, or had a proven track record in successfully delivering products or services of a similar nature. In making tradeoff decisions, GAO found that DOD selected a lower priced proposal nearly as often as it selected a higher technically rated, but more costly proposal. Overall, GAO found that DOD paid a combined total of more than $230 million in price differentials--the difference in price between the awardee and the offeror next in line for award--on 21 contracts, but chose not to pay more than $800 million in proposed costs by selecting a lower priced offer over a higher technically rated offer in 18 contracts. DOD does not track whether the use of best value tradeoff processes correlates with the contractor successfully meeting the terms of the contract and noted that many factors ultimately contribute to an acquisition's success or failure. DOD officials identified several challenges in using the best value tradeoff process, including the difficulty in determining meaningful evaluation factors and the business judgment of acquisition staff required. DOD officials also noted that the complexity of the tradeoff process increases the risk of bid protests. For example, GAO found that 15 of the 88 contracts awarded using a best value tradeoff process reviewed were protested to GAO, resulting in 4 cases in which DOD terminated the contract or made a new source selection decision when DOD determined that it failed to adhere to the solicitations' requirements. Such concerns are heightened given the expected influx of more than 6,400 new contracting personnel over the next few years. According to DOD officials, making sound tradeoff decisions, and in particular, deciding whether or not a price differential is warranted, is one of the most difficult aspects of using a best value tradeoff process. DOD is developing a new departmentwide source selection guide and intends to subsequently revise its training curriculum, but neither the guide nor DOD's current training curriculum provides agency personnel with information on assessing price differentials when performing tradeoff analyses. GAO recommends that to help DOD effectively employ best value tradeoff processes, DOD develop training elements, such as case studies, that focus on reaching tradeoff decisions, as it updates its training curriculum. DOD concurred with this recommendation.
Recommendation for Executive Action
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: In response to this recommendation, the Director, Defense Procurement and Acquisition Policy assigned the Panel on Contracting Integrity Subcommittee 5, Appropriate Contracting Approaches and Techniques, to develop case studies by the end of 2011 that focus on reaching tradeoff decisions. The panel developed the case studies and the Defense Acquisition University has incorporated them into its contract source selection training courses where appropriate.
Recommendation: To help DOD effectively employ the best value tradeoff process, the Secretary of Defense should direct the Director of Defense Procurement and Acquisition Policy to work with the Defense Acquisition University to develop training elements, such as case studies or scenarios that focus on reaching tradeoff decisions, including consideration of price differentials, as it updates the source selection curriculum.

Indians always find the most creative places to chill…
I met this guy in Varanasi on the rooftop of the hotel where I was staying. One morning I emerged from my rooftop room to find him doing a head stand. Sometimes he would come up and smoke chillums. I can't for the life of me remember his name…maybe it was John… but I remember well the time we spent together. He lived in a warehouse the size of three basketball courts, outside of London. He was an acupuncturist, as well as a coffee cart vendor on Saturdays.
Most of these pictures were taken on "the other side" of the Ganges river… where it is quite different.

Caroline supervisors discuss proposed music festivals and county concert law.
Date published: 10/13/2011
The Caroline County Board of Supervisors took no action this week on a proposal to amend a county ordinance that prohibits more than eight hours of continuous music within a 24-hour period.
The request was made by two festival organizers who are looking to move their large events to rural Caroline County.
The owner of the All Good Music Festival, a four-day camping-style concert that attracts nearly 25,000 people, wants to move the annual show from West Virginia to Moss Neck Manor, a 1,200-acre site in Port Royal off U.S. 17 owned by the Silver Cos. The festival would feature 14 to 16 hours of music a day, twice as much as the county allows.
At their meeting Tuesday, supervisors asked county staff to research some amending options to the current code, which went into effect in 1971 after Woodstock. Even if an amendment is approved, each event would still need approval from the board.
The All Good event has been held in West Virginia since a 2001 appearance in Spotsylvania County, but owner Tim Walther said Tuesday night that the festival has outgrown that location.
Moss Neck Manor "has more than twice the amount of property needed," Walther said. "We have a safe and successful event out there and bring a lot of revenue to the county."
He said the summer festival would employ 100 local people, generate about $250,000 in sales for local businesses and donate thousands of pounds of food to the local food bank. According to a 2010 report, the All Good Music Festival is estimated to have had a $1.1 million economic impact on Preston County, W.Va., and a $2.3 million impact on the state.
Caroline supervisors voiced concerns about traffic along U.S. 17. Walther said traffic was not a problem in West Virginia, even along a one-lane road up and down a mountain.
He told supervisors the event would be no different from the National Scout Jamboree held for years at nearby Fort A.P. Hill.

50 Must-Read Federal Government IT Blogs 2013
A crowdsourced list of the most useful and insightful resources for public sector IT leaders.
When IT managers store virtual machines on a storage area network, the typical option is VMware Virtual Machine File System (VMFS). For many applications, including file and print servers, web servers and enterprise resource planning applications, VMFS works fine.
But for processing-intensive applications such as SQL Server databases and e-mail, using VMFS can put too much overhead on the SAN. One approach used by the Navy Marine Corps Intranet is to use a technique known as Raw Device Mapping (RDM).
Jeff Smith, server manager for EDS, an HP company, which manages NMCI for the military, says Raw Device Mapping lets NMCI use the native file system on the storage area network to store the virtual machines.
"The best way to think about it is that RDMs are a way to more effectively use the space on the SAN and improve overall performance," Smith says.
Smith says that although configuring RDMs is not especially hard, it does take someone who understands virtualization and the difference between RDM and VMFS. He says the need to use RDMs is one of the main reasons many agencies and other organizations have not yet moved to virtualize their sometimes numerous Microsoft Exchange servers.
"Most people just want to get virtualization to work and aren't about to try virtualizing Exchange," he says.
But that will change as more IT shops gain experience and their comfort level with virtualization technology grows. The potential cost savings and ease of management through virtualizing Exchange are too great for federal agencies to hold back, Smith expects.
Smith says virtualizing Exchange offers numerous benefits:

School Backs Down After Girl Threatens to Sue Over T-Shirt
I wonder if the school officials asked black students to cover their skin, or non-Christians to avoid wearing any religious symbols. Maybe they hide their students with disabilities, those who are too fat or thin, oh and I bet if they don't have the proper "look" they are asked to wear a bag over their head. Must not allow anyone to be different. or to SUPPORT people who are different than their "norm". They certainly couldn't PROTECT their students' rights, better just to hide anyone who is not "normal".
A high school student in Birmingham, Ala., is free to wear a gay-supportive T-shirt after the Southern Poverty Law Center threatened to sue her school district because administrators found the shirt offensive.
Sara Couvillion's "Gay? Fine By Me" shirt landed her in trouble with school officials. The SPLC told a CBS News affiliate that she wore the shirt to school several times during the last school year. However, an official eventually told her to stop wearing the shirt because administrators feared for the 15-year-old student's safety, even though Couvillion said she never experienced or reported violence against her. After the SPLC threatened to sue for her right to wear the shirt, the school administrators backed down from their original position.
"At Hoover High School, we have a tradition and practice of respecting the rights of students to exercise all of their constitutional entitlements," Hoover High School principal Don Hulin said Wednesday in a statement. "We are fortunate to have a diversified student body and we work very diligently to encourage a culture of tolerance and understanding."
Hulin went on to cite the U.S. Supreme Court case Tinker v. Des Moines, guaranteeing the freedom of expression for young people in schools unless it "disrupts the learning environment or disabuses the rights of others." He also said that the dress code must be enforced to facilitate a learning environment, but admitted that Couvillion's T-shirt did not cause a substantial disruption at school.

Student Uniforms
A standard uniform to be worn in clinical practice is required for all students enrolled in undergraduate nursing programs at the UofS. Uniforms worn when working with patients/clients will enhance professionalism, infection control, personal safety, and role identification.
Uniforms should be purchased by students in the Post-Degree BSN program in their first year of study. Students in the BSN program will require a uniform upon admission to Nursing for their second year of study following the pre-professional first year of the program. Current NEPS students are welcome to purchase a uniform as well, but it is not a requirement in that program.
Uniforms are sourced from Mobb Medical and can be ordered at the following locations:

Regina, SK.
Please see this PDF brochure for a preview of style options available. Tops will be white and pants will be spruce green. The UofS crest will be embroidered on the top.
Please note that uniform orders must be placed about 6 weeks in advance of classes beginning. Once students have selected a style and size, the suppliers will send the uniforms out to have the UofS crest embroidered onto the top. Please order as soon as possible once accepted into the program to avoid delays. Students cannot attend clinical without a standard College of Nursing, University of Saskatchewan uniform.
A uniform jacket is also available but is not mandatory. However, if students choose to wear a jacket/sweater to clinical, it must be the U of S crested uniform jacket.

Campaign Chronicle #14
I was invited to a special gathering. I was told to listen, do not speak. This is what I heard when these individuals were talking about the current state of Cerroneth.
The Striped One: "The planescape is finally setting right after the threat of The Devourer. I am nearly done with my assimilation with the Nexus. Cerroneth is hurting, however it does not threaten the planescape, so therefore I am not concerned with the current events in the land. I will keep an eye on what is happening to ensure it does not threaten the planescape. Should the threat prove to move in that direction I will step in and resolve the issue."
The Cowled One: "My dear Cerroneth, she is indeed in a bad way. The major threat of the Devourer is past, however we are still dealing with the aftermath left behind. I do indeed have plans to set her right. The peoples of Cerroneth may hate me for what I have done, and what I also have plans for. It is what She needs right now. The mortals are not strong enough to save her alone."
The Red One: "ZZZZZ.....ZZZZZ....
After remaining quiet for the first half of this gathering, the old man finally speaks.
The Old Man: "My land is hurting. My dear Cerroneth is in pain, part of her is dead and other parts may start dying. She is fighting the effects of me and my people trying to heal her. I fear that our actions have only made things worse. There is a threat roaming this land, and it is unclear of its purpose. Is it here to harm the land, or harm her people? Is it here with a higher purpose, does his home plane threaten the prime? You say there is no actions or movements to suggest such. This is something else we must keep a wary eye on. I feel that is in part responsible of the effects currently causing the area of land the mortals call Celibhar. Celibhar.........an ugly scar on a beautiful land, a dark sickness that is not spreading wide, but deep. I am at a loss for a cure. I must rely on the heroes of Cerroneth to cleanse this sickness. I will offer any help I can, but I am weakened by this sickness, and the energies we have used to try and fix it. I am sad to say I must also rely on one that I dare not fully trust. This one that was recently so instrumental in saving us from the great threat, yet he has harmed and gone against the land and her inhabitants many times."
The Cowled One: "You are responsible for more deaths than I, old man. Your tally is much higher than mine now."
The Old Man glared at the Cowled one.
The Cowled One: "You do not have to remind me. I ache with the death I have brought to the people." He bowed his head into his hands.
The Striped One: "We do need to find out what this possible threat has intentions of. It is not a natural being, its existence is a result from the lack of participation of the Heroes in restoring the Plane of Necromancy back into the planescape." He turned to the Cowled one. "You are most like its nature, it would be the most logical choice for you to visit it. See if you are able to ascertain what its intentions are."
The Cowled One: "I will indeed visit this being. I would like to know what he is. I may be able to use him in returning Cerroneth and Tyrra back to health."
This was the part of the conversation I am sharing with you now. It tells us that we are facing some threats that may prove nearly impossible to conquer, but also that we are not alone in our struggle. The earthquakes are destroying this country. Reports from all over Cerroneth say that villages are gone, rivers stop running, that new rivers widen, and are rerouted. Other reports say long standing mountains fall like brittle mounds, while other mountains rise in new places. Forest is turned to desert and desert to forest. Will we be able to stop it in time? Are we even able to set right what is wrong? What is it that the Cowled one has done? What is the Cowled one planning on doing? Why won't the Striped One intercede now? I will leave you all with these thoughts. Remember this is our home, we must do what we can to help keep her and all of us safe.

Have you ever tried to play sound in both of your USB headset and speakers? You will have a hard time to figure out how to do it. The problem is that most of the time windows audio driver won't let you do that. You either can set your speakers or USB headset as your default audio device one at the time but not both simultaneously. Here, I will tell you the solution how to make your USB (wireless) headset and speakers to produce sound at the same time. This solution uses a software called Virtual Audio Cable which is not free but you can still download the trial software. With a little luck you can find full version on rapidshare.
Here's a snapshot of my devices setup with the use of Virtual Audio Cable software to produce sound on both of my USB wireless headset and normal speakers at the same time. OS is Windows 7 x64 RC as you can see watermark at the bottom right corner.
