We enjoyed the visit to Cochise Stronghold very much. The room is situated with a front porch and back patio. The breeze blew lovely through the room and we enjoyed sitting on the back patio reading. We were able to watch the birds and deer from our room which we enjoyed a great deal. There was a hot tub which we enjoyed our first night. We enjoyed that the owners were environmentally friendly. They composted, had solar water heaters and recycled. Nancy was very friendly and helpful. We highly recommend this place for rest and relaxation.

We were seeking escape to quiet and found it here. The peaceful retreat was exactly what we needed. We were greeted by our names written in chalk on a welcome sign on the open door letting breeze in and gentle wilderness sounds in the night air. We tried to arrive in daylight but traffic wouldn't allow. We forgot all about that so quickly upon our arrival and we rested the evening under the stars in the hot tub. Nancy has the perfect sense of when to say hello and when to leave us alone. In the morning, the numerous birds joined us on the patio for breakfast and we counted them friends by the time we left. The gently chickens would eat out of our hands. We drove for a bit & went on a 6 mile hike in the Chiricahua mountains the next morning and found that to be also peaceful and refreshing. Nancy at the retreat could not have been more helpful and charming. She has a servants heart and the home is decorated so lovely and she has just thought of everything. The coffee, the tea selection, the books. It truly was a magnificent weekend and we will certainly be back.

My friend and I enjoyed our stay at Cochise Stronghold. The owner Nancy greeted us and was available to answer all questions about hiking, bird watching, history of the area and so forth. We stayed in the Manzanita suite which was really accommodating and spacious. We especially enjoyed watching the chickens on our patio...they're so entertaining. Our breakfasts were above and beyond delicious. Be sure to try the cornbread, the best I've ever had. We really loved that breakfast was delivered! We also had dinner here one night, the fixings (steak, pilaf, salad) were again delivered and we could prepare and dine at our leisure. This is a great feature as C.S. is about 30 some miles from a grocery store and we didn't want to constantly eat out. Great place and highly recommended.

Patrick Bamford says he will start scoring for Norwich City
08:57 17 March 2016
©Focus Images Limited www.focus-images.co.uk +447814 482222
Patrick Bamford is confident he will only get better for Norwich City – and when he does, the goals will follow.
Saturday's goalless draw with Manchester City was not only the 22-year-old's first Premier League start – it was only his second start this season, after the on-loan Chelsea striker's trickier pre-January spell at Crystal Palace.
The sharpness wasn't quite there for Bamford to take his chances as a substitute in defeat at Swansea, but the promise was added to by his 67 minutes at Carrow Road.
"It's like a vicious circle," said Bamford. "If you don't play and then you don't take your chances because you're not sharp, then you're not going to play again. So you need that run of games to get that sharpness back – and then the goals will start coming again, I'm sure."
Bamford's Premier League ambitions had been curtailed by Norwich's play-off success last summer, but now the former Middlesbrough man is fully engaged in City's survival fight. Not only is he clear of the emotional baggage from City's relegation two seasons ago – he hasn't sensed it in his team-mates either.
"To be fair, all I can see from all the players is a determination not to let it happen," he added. "No-one wants to get relegated and there is that drive to not let it happen, and everyone in the team is heading towards that."
Having now made his home debut, Bamford admitted it was nice to be on the right side of the Carrow Road crowd for once – support that can help fuel City's top-flight survival bid.
"Saturday was the loudest I've heard it since I've been here," Bamford added. "The crowd were really with us and that helps. It drives the team on. When you're tired and then you hear that roar, it almost gives you that extra self belief and it can be helpful.
"I've been booed a lot before when I've come here, so it was nice to have them supporting me and get that nice ovation at the end."

How Guardianships Work FAQ
Is it true that parents may need a guardianship of their own child?
6. Is it true that parents may need a guardianship of their own child?
It's strange but true: sometimes parents need to establish a particular type of guardianship called a "guardianship of the estate" to handle their own child's finances -- even if the child lives with them. This situation usually arises when significant amounts of property (at least $5,000 in most states) are given directly to a child.
Understandably, institutions and lawyers are reluctant to turn assets over to parents when they were intended for a child. A guardianship of the estate relieves the institution from liability, and the parents are directly accountable to a court to show how funds are spent and invested.
Example: The Thompsons lived next door to an elderly widow, who was extremely fond of their small daughter. When the widow died, she left her house to little Suzy Thompson. The lawyer handling the widow's estate suggests that Suzy's parents go to court to establish a guardianship of their child's estate. The house is then transferred into the name of Suzy's guardianship estate, which her parents manage until she reaches adulthood.
While this system is effective in protecting children's assets from unscrupulous parents, setting up a formal guardianship of the estate involves time and money that well-meaning parents sometimes find burdensome. For this reason, all states have passed laws to make it easier to give money or property to children. These laws provide simple, inexpensive procedures by which gifts to minors (typically up to $10,000) can be managed by their parents without setting up formal guardianships of the estate. A gift-giver must simply name, in his or her will or in a trust document, someone to manage the gift until the child reaches adulthood. No court involvement is required.

[0001]This application claims the benefit of the priority date of U.S. provisional application 60/199,528, filed on Apr. 25, 2000, the contents of which are herein incorporated by reference.
[0002]This invention relates to communication systems, and in particular, to wireless communication systems.
[0003]Mobile processing-systems, such as portable computers and personal digital assistants, are often provided with the ability to establish wireless connections with other processing systems. Such wireless connections enable a user to access internet sites while traveling. A user thus equipped is able to obtain real-time information from an internet site and to act immediately on the basis of that information. For example, a user on the way to the airport may use a mobile processing-system to discover that a flight has been cancelled and that it may be preferable to simply turn around and go home.
[0004]As a practical matter, however, it is difficult for a user of a mobile processing-system to conveniently acquire timely information while traveling. The process of identifying and accessing a web site can be cumbersome and difficult to attend to while coping with the exigencies of travel. In addition, the speed of wireless data transmission is itself limited by numerous physical constraints. For example, high-speed data transmission requires high bandwidth. Such bandwidth may not be available simply because a finite spectrum must be shared by many channels. Inadequate signal-to-noise ratio, resulting from noise or multi-path reflections, can result in high error rates, which in turn require frequent retransmission of data packets.
[0005]A system according to the invention provides high-speed wireless communication to a mobile processing system. The system maintains one or more information portals that provide high-speed wireless access to a local area network. Because of the limited spatial extent of an information portal, a low-power but high-bandwidth channel can be maintained within the information portal. Within the limited spatial extent of the information portal, wireless data communication is established at rates much higher than those available in those wireless data communication systems that provide wireless data communication over public airwaves.
[0006]A communication system incorporating the invention includes a stationary transceiver defining an information portal in its immediate vicinity. A local server in communication with this stationary transceiver is configured to respond to a mobile processing-system present within the information portal.
[0007]Typically, the local server is configured to perform a function on the basis of the identity of the mobile processing-system. This function might be to provide selected data to the mobile processing-system, to provide interactive access to a computer network, or to perform various functions associated with the operation of a building that houses the stationary transceiver. Examples of such functions include permitting building access to a portion of the building, or controlling an elevator in the building.
[0008]In one aspect of the invention, the local server is configured to establish a communication link between the mobile processing-system in the information portal and a selected location. The communication link can be an audio link, a video link, or a two-way communication link.
[0009]Various types of transceivers can be used as stationary transceivers. For example, the stationary transceiver can be a radio transceiver, an optical transceiver, an infrared transceiver, and an acoustic transceiver.
[0010]Information is communicated to the mobile processing system when the mobile processing system is within an information portal. Consequently, the stationary transceiver, and hence the information portal that it maintains, is deployed at locations in which commuters or travelers are expected to linger momentarily. Such locations include elevators, elevator lobbies, waiting areas at transportation nodes, for example train platforms at train stations, airplane gate areas at airports, and even the transportation vehicles themselves.
[0011]In another embodiment, the communication system also includes a fulfillment server in communication with the local server. The fulfillment server has access to a wide area network. The wide area network can be a global computer network, such as the interne.
[0012]The fulfillment server can include a user-interface to enable a user to specify certain actions. Examples of such actions include making selected information available for transmission to a mobile processing system at an information portal, or requesting that the fulfillment server send, to the mobile processing system, a message indicating the occurrence of a selected event.
[0013]In one aspect of the invention, the fulfillment server is configured to provide interactive services to the mobile processing system while the mobile processing system is in an information portal. Examples of such interactive services include email or internet access.
[0014]To enhance performance, it is useful to provide a cache at the local server. Such a cache is used to accumulate information intended to be transmitted to a mobile processing system. This information remains in cache until the mobile processing system enters an information portal. Once the mobile processing system for which the accumulated information is intended enters an information portal, the information in cache is relayed to the mobile processing system.
[0015]In another embodiment, the communication system includes a plurality of stationary transceivers, each configured for wireless communication with a mobile processing system present in a corresponding information portal; and a server system in communication with each of the stationary receivers. The server system has a link to a global computer network. This enables the server system to provide the mobile processing system with wireless access to the global computer network.
[0016]The invention also includes a method for providing a mobile processing system with wireless access to a global computer network. The method includes maintaining an information portal and establishing wireless communication between the mobile processing system and a server system following entry of the mobile processing system into the information portal. Once communication has thus been established, a link between the server system and the global computer network is provided.
[0017]Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention belongs. Although methods and systems similar or equivalent to those described herein can be used in the practice or testing of the present invention, suitable methods and systems are described below. All publications, patent applications, patents and other references mentioned herein are incorporated by reference in their entirety. In case of conflict, the present specification, including definitions, will control. In addition, the systems, methods, and examples are illustrative only and not intended to be limiting.
[0018]Other features and advantages of the invention will be apparent from the claims and from the following detailed description and its accompanying figures.
[0019]FIG. 1 is a communication system incorporating the invention.
[0020]FIG. 2 illustrates an application of the communication system of FIG. 1; and
[0021]FIGS. 3 and 4 show additional communication systems incorporating the invention.
[0022]Referring to FIG. 1, a communication system 10 incorporating the invention includes a local server 12 in data communication with one or more stationary transceivers 14a-n across a private network. Each stationary transceiver 14a-n maintains a corresponding information portal 16a-n extending around a vicinity thereof. When a person carrying a mobile processing-system 18, for example a portable computer or a portable digital-assistant, enters one of these information portals 16a, the stationary transceiver 14a maintaining that information portal 16a establishes wireless communication between the local server 12 and the mobile processing-system 18.
[0023]The mobile processing-system 18 and the stationary transceiver 14a can establish wireless communication by transmitting and receiving electromagnetic waves or acoustic waves modulated by data. In the case of electromagnetic waves, the waves can be radio-frequency waves, infrared waves, optical waves, or electromagnetic waves having any other frequency suitable for short-range data-communication. Acoustic waves are typically ultrasonic or mega sonic waves.
[0024]In the case of radio-frequency waves, the establishment of the communication link can be completely passive, with no action required of the person other than entry into the information portal 16a. In the case of infrared or optical waves, or other waves having wavelengths much shorter than nearby scattering structures, the person establishes communication by pointing a port on the mobile processing-system 18 toward the stationary transceiver 14a.
[0025]The stationary transceivers 14a-n can be deployed within a building in conjunction with elevator displays and lobby displays as described in pending U.S. application Ser. Nos. 09/123,284 and 09/465,504, the contents of which are incorporated by reference. This deployment is advantageous because the display can then be used to communicate information to the person carrying the mobile processing-system 18. In addition, the display is already in data communication with the local server 12 and can therefore be easily modified to accommodate the stationary transceiver 14a. However, stand-alone stationary transceivers 14a-n can also be deployed at various locations without the presence of a nearby display.
[0026]Stationary transceivers 14a-n are typically deployed at locations in which commuters and other travelers are likely to linger in the course of their travel. This ensures that the person is in an information data portal 16a-n long enough for meaningful data transmission to occur.
[0027]The local server 12 is also connected to one or more peripheral devices 20. Such peripheral devices can include elevator control system 22, building security systems 24, building communication systems 26, building environmental-control-systems 28, and other systems that govern additional aspects of building functionality. These connections enable the local server 12 to control building functions in response to the identity and movement of a person carrying a mobile processing-system.
[0028]A local area network 30 links the local server 12, the peripheral devices, and the stationary transceivers 14a-n. These links can be wired links, wireless links, or a mixture of both wired and wireless links.
[0029]In operation, a person carrying a mobile processing-system 18 enters one of the information portals 16a-n. The mobile processing-system 18 and the stationary transceiver 14a then establish communication, thereby providing a data path between the local server 12 and the mobile processing-system 18. This enables the local server 12 to identify the mobile processing-system 18. The local server 12 can then interact with the peripheral devices in a manner consistent with the identity of the mobile processing-system 18.
[0030]To illustrate examples of some of the various types of interaction that are possible, it is instructive to follow the activities of a typical building tenant upon arrival at the building. FIG. 2 illustrates the progress of a tenant who, at time t1, enters a parking lot 32 adjacent to a building 34.
[0031]Throughout this detailed description, reference is occasionally made to a tenant or user as having been detected and identified while within an information portal 16a-n. It is understood, however, that it is the mobile processing-system 18, and not the tenant or user, that is in fact being detected and identified.
[0032]Referring now to FIG. 2, a first stationary transceiver 36a maintains a first information portal 38a at the entrance to the parking lot 32. As the tenant drives through this first information portal 38a, the local server 12 identifies the mobile processing-system 18 and notes a time-of-entry to be used later for calculating an appropriate parking fee.
[0033]After a few minutes, the tenant parks and begins to walk toward a nearby elevator lobby 40. At time t2, as the tenant approaches the elevator lobby 40, he enters a second information portal 38b maintained by a second stationary transceiver 36b. When the tenant enters this second information portal 38b, the second stationary transceiver 36b establishes communication between the local server 12 and the tenant's mobile processing-system 18. The local server 12 records the floor on which the tenant has parked. This data is later retrieved and used to program the elevator when the tenant re-enters an elevator at the end of the day. The local server 12 then interacts with the elevator control system 22 to call an elevator 42. By the time the tenant reaches the elevator lobby 40, the elevator 42 is already well on its way to meeting him.
[0034]The local server 12 also determines the floor that the tenant works on and, in a further interaction with the elevator control system 22, instructs the elevator 42 to proceed to that floor once the tenant enters a third information portal 38c maintained by a third stationary-transceiver 36c within the elevator 42. The local server 12 then interacts with the building environmental-control-systems 28 to turn on heat or air-conditioning at locations selected on the basis of the tenant's identity.
[0035]When the elevator 42 arrives to pick up the tenant at the designated floor of the parking garage, the local server 12 starts a timer. If the tenant fails to enter the third information portal 38c (located in the elevator 42) within a selected time, the local server 12 sends a message to building security personnel alerting them to the possibility of a mishap.
[0036]At time t3, the tenant enters the third information portal 38c by boarding the elevator 42. The third stationary-transceiver 36c in the elevator 42 detects the tenant's entry into the third information portal 38c. Without further intervention from the tenant, the elevator 42 then carries the tenant to the floor selected by the local server 12.
[0037]After a few moments, the elevator reaches the selected floor 42, whereupon the tenant exits the elevator 42. At time t4, the tenant enters a fourth information portal 38d maintained by a fourth stationary transceiver 38d. The local server 12 detects the tenant's entry into the fourth information portal 38d and sends an appropriate message to the building security system 24. In response, the building security system 24 unlocks an appropriate door 44 for the tenant.
[0038]In the unlikely event that the elevator 42 becomes stuck between floors, the elevator control system 22 detects the existence of this condition and signals the local server 12. The local server 12 then checks to see if there are any occupants within the information portal maintained in the elevator 42. If there are such occupants, the local server 12 uses the information portal maintained in the elevator 42 to provide a real-time communication link between the occupants and building security personnel. The communication link can be a streaming video or audio link. Preferably, the communication link thus established is a two-way video link.
[0039]The communication system 10 can also be used to broadcast announcements and other data directly to the mobile processing-system 18. In such a case, a tenant enters any one of several information portals scattered throughout the building 34 while carrying a mobile processing-system 18. Upon entry into any such information portal, the local server transmits appropriate data to the mobile processing-system 18.
[0040]Another embodiment, shown in FIG. 3, also includes a fulfillment server 46 that interfaces the local server 12 with selected content providers 50a-c across a global computer network 52. The fulfillment server 46 communicates with the local server 12 over a private network 48 or a virtual private network. Data transport over the private network 48 can be carried out using a frame relay or xDSL service.
[0041]The addition of the fulfillment server 46 to the communication system permits the local server to relay information gathered by the fulfillment server 46 to a user whenever that user enters one of many information portals dispersed throughout a building 34. A user-interface 54 associated with the fulfillment server 46 enables a user to request delivery of selected information from the content providers to the user's mobile processing-system 18.
[0042]To illustrate the types of services that can be provided, it is useful to consider a user who wants to obtain a traffic report at the end of every working day. The activities of such a user are illustrated in FIG. 3.
[0043]At time t1, the user accesses the user-interface 54 of the fulfillment server 46 using a web-browser 56 executing on the user's computer system 58. Through this user-interface 54, the user instructs the fulfillment server 46 to routinely make a traffic report available everyday.
[0044]At an appropriate time, and without further intervention by the user, the fulfillment server 46 retrieves traffic information from a content provider 50a. The fulfillment server 46 then identifies the local server 12 associated with that particular user. After doing so, the fulfillment server 46 sends the requested information to that local server 12. The local server 12 then stores that information in a cache 60 for delivery to the user's mobile processing-system 18 upon entry of that system into an information portal 16a-n.
[0045]At time t2, while the user is in the elevator 42, the user enters or passes through an information portal while carrying the mobile processing-system 18. The stationary transceiver 14a maintaining that information portal sends a message to the local server 12 indicating the presence of the user's mobile processing-system 18. In response, the local server 12 retrieves the requested information from cache and sends it to the stationary transceiver 14a. The stationary transceiver 14a then transmits that data directly to the mobile processing-system 18. In this way, by the time the user leaves the information portal 16a, the mobile processing-system 18 will have collected the desired data.
[0046]The foregoing example illustrates the manner in which the communication system 10 provides programmed services. Such programmed services are characterized by a request that particular content be made available for delivery during a particular time interval. However, the communication system 10 can also provide real-time services. Real-time services are characterized by the delivery of a message indicating that a particular event has occurred.
[0047]To illustrate the use of the communication system 10 in providing real-time service, consider a user who wants to be alerted when, for example, a price of a particular stock has risen above a pre-determined level. The user would then access the user-interface 54 of the fulfillment server 46 using a web-browser 56 executing on the user's computer system 58. Upon doing so, the user could then request that the share price of a stock be monitored and that a message be sent if the share price reaches or exceeds the pre-determined level.
[0048]In response to the user's instruction, the fulfillment server 46 periodically accesses one or more of the selected content providers 50a-50c throughout the day to monitor the price of the stock. If the price exceeds the pre-determined threshold, the monitor sends a message to the local server 12 associated with the user. The local server 12 then caches this message for subsequent delivery to the user whenever the user enters an information portal 16a-n while carrying a mobile processing-system 18.
[0049]When the user carries the mobile processing-system 18 into an information portal 16a, the local server 12 detects the presence of the mobile processing-system 18, retrieves the message from cache, if any, and transmits it to the mobile processing-system 18.
[0050]A communication system 10 as described herein can also provide interactive services to a user. For example, the local server 12 can provide information such as locations of nearby restaurants, automated teller machines, train stations, and other services. Such a service is useful for travelers who are unfamiliar with the immediate neighborhood. In this case, the user need not interact with a fulfillment server 46 beforehand. Such information can be available upon request whenever a user carrying a mobile processing-system 18 enters an information portal 16a.
[0051]Although the foregoing description teaches a communication system 10 installed in a building, such as an office building or a hotel, similar communication systems can be installed virtually anywhere that a person carrying a mobile processing-system 18 can be expected to linger momentarily. For example, communication systems of the type described herein can also be installed at such diverse locations as airports, train stations, train cars, and cruise ships.
[0052]A user of the communication system 10 need not be confined to a particular local server 12. For example, a communication system 10 can be installed to encompass a set of train stations, each of which has its own local server 12, as shown in FIG. 4.
[0053]In this application, each train station (of which only two are shown in the figure) includes a local server 12a-b having a local cache 60a-b. The first local server 12a provides a link between four stationary transceivers 14a-d at a first train station and a fulfillment server 46. The second local server 12b provides a link between four additional stationary transceivers 14e-h at a second train station and the fulfillment server 46. The fulfillment server 52 provides a link to a plurality of content providers 50a-c across a global computer network 52. It is understood that the number of stationary transceivers in each train station and the number of train stations can be varied without departing from the scope of the invention.
[0054]When a local server 12a detects the user at the train station or entering the train, a link is established in the manner already described in connection with FIGS. 1 and 3. would be delivered as already described above. For interactive services, such as email, or for extended services, such as music, the local server 12 would accept the request, cache it, and wait for the next train station to complete the request. The user would then be notified when the information becomes available.
[0055]It is to be understood that while the invention has been described in conjunction with the detailed description thereof, the foregoing description is intended to illustrate and not limit the scope of the invention, which is defined by the scope of the appended claims. Other aspects, advantages, and modifications are within the scope of the following claims.

Bill Murray officially not involved in upcoming 'Ghostbusters 3'
After more than a year of unsubstantiated talk and rumors, fans already knew that there was a ghost of a chance of Bill Murray appearing in a long-delayed third "Ghostbusters" film, but now it's official.
"No, I can tell you he won't be involved," co-star Dan Aykroyd told Metro.
"It's sad but we're passing it on to a new generation," Aykroyd further explained. " 'Ghostbusters 3' can be a successful movie without Bill. My preference would be to have him involved but at this point he doesn't seem to be coming and we have to move on. It's time to make the third one."
The "new generation" comment means that "Ghostbusters 3" has a new writer in Etan Cohen ("Men in Black 3") and will focus on younger actors (not yet cast) taking up the Ghostbusters legacy, presumably under the tutelage of the original crew including Aykroyd, Harold Ramis and Ernie Hudson...but not Murray's deadpan Peter Venkman.
Aykroyd has been promising (threatening?) the film for some time now, but he is promising that the threequel will go before cameras sometime in 2013, saying "We're working on it to make it just right to satisfy our fans. I'm confident we'll be in production in the next year."
Murray, meanwhile, has been busy lately, starring in Wes Anderson's "Moonrise Kingdom," the upcoming "Hyde Park on Hudson." He's also in talks to join "St. Vincent de Van Nuys."
Would you be interested in a "Ghostbusters 3" without Bill Murray?

Surgery Roundup: Weidman and Hendricks Set Timetables for Return, Carlos Condit to Go Under the Knife Tomorrow
("And for my next trick, I will pull a horseshoe out of Joe Rogan's ass and beat him over the head with it!" Photo via Getty.)
I don't mean to jinx things, but 2014 is rapidly approaching 2012 as the year of the injury curse. So far, 2014 has been the year that put the final nail in Dominick Cruz's coffin, saw Anderson Silva do a full-on Corey Hill, and took out Cain Velasquez for the foreseeable future. Oh yes, and let us not forget that GSP vacated his title this year, and that we won't be seeing Anthony Pettis in action until December 27th*. No, fuck you, 2014.
Even our newly-minted, young-gun champions, Chris Weidman and Johny Hendricks, have been bitten by the injury bug recently, going down with a knee injury and torn bicep/fractured shin, respectively. Honestly, it makes one consider whether fighting for tens of thousands of hundreds of dollars is really worth spending the majority of your prime years battling injuries that costs hundreds of thousands of dollars to fix, but I digress.
Amidst all the black clouds currently hovering over the MMA landscape, however is a silver lining. Following successful bicep surgery, Hendricks has already set a timetable for his return, telling The MMA Hour that he is hoping for a 4 to 8 week rehabilitation period before he can resume training. For some gruesome before and after photos of Hendricks' shredded ligaments, plus updates on Weidman and Carlos Condit, join us after the jump.Read More DIGG THIS

Great tool works flawlessly, iCloud sync IWatch addition are perfect.
Best list app period.
This is one of the few apps that I use almost every day. Once you get the hang of the interface it's hard to use anything else.
Highly recommended!
Fantastic app! Easy to use and works as advertised. The gesture controls have resulted in my accidentally deleting lists I had wanted to save. Perhaps add a confirmation window?

One of the nation's top quarterbacks, Jameis Winston, has been a longtime commit to Florida State, but that doesn't mean he isn't making sure he made the right decision.
He has already taken an official visit to Alabama, will go to Stanford this weekend, Florida State near the end of the month and Ohio State somewhere in between, according to Scout.com.
Seminole fans may not want to hear it, but there are certainly some pros and cons—especially when comparing the school to the other great programs on his list.

Every author should have Ellen Horan's luck – and her ability to recognize gold among the pyrite. The inspiration for her debut novel, the historical thriller 31 Bond Street, struck Horan during a leisurely perusal of the bins at a print shop. She came across a newspaper article detailing the "crime of the century" – the 19th century. An affluent dentist had been killed at an address only a few blocks from the print shop, 31 Bond Street in New York City. A widow with children had been renting the upper floors of the house; this "housemistress" was arrested for the crime, sparking one of the first tabloid sensations.
An extensive trek through the microfiches of the newspapers of the time, revealed to Horan a degree of sensationalism familiar to any modern reader, and immersed her in the world of the trial. For the most part, Horan's research stood her in excellent stead.
Horan's descriptive writing immerses the reader in mid-19th century New York. From descriptions of the harbor and chill, drab housing of the poor to the structure of an affluent home, Horan nails the details with a minimum of needless exposition. The gruesome murder of the dentist-owner of the house at 31 Bond Street propels the plot from the start.
The murder of Dr. Harvey Burdell took place during the heyday of the Tammany bosses, and 31 Bond Street is peopled with politicians looking to capitalize on the shifts of power taking place in New York City. A power-hungry coroner, a prosecuting attorney who seizes a sensational case to bolster his bid to become mayor, a journalistic feeding frenzy, and shady real estate speculation — all lend a curiously modern air to this period piece. However, these elements existed in the real-life death of Dr. Burdell, forcing us to realize, once again, that nothing is truly new.
A pale blue envelope was enclosed in the advance copy of 31 Bond Street. Addressed to Mr. Henry Clinton, the enclosed missive read:
Dear Mr. Clinton,
I have gotten your name from my solicitor and I hope you might come and see me. I am in need of legal assistance, but I am told I can speak to no one, and have not spoken with anyone who can counsel me. This is about a murder, occurring Friday night, at the house where I am sequestered, perhaps you have heard.Please respond, as I am confined to house arrest.
Mrs. Emma Cunningham
31 Bond Street
From this letter, one might reasonably assume Emma Cunningham to be a heroine, a damsel in distress, or, alternatively, a black-hearted villainess. However, despite Horan's use of a shifting intimate point-of-view, we are prevented from ever truly identifying with the rather venal Mrs. Cunningham, a woman devoted to the preservation of a lifestyle beyond her means or upbringing and to the advancement of her daughters through marriage. This refusal to make Emma a true protagonist, while adding a note of realism, does cause the book to falter in places. Emma is unsympathetic and deluded enough that, by the end, we don't really care if she hangs.
The lawyer, Henry Clinton, provides a moral center for the novel. Taking on the defense of Mrs. Cunningham at the risk of his own livelihood, Clinton epitomizes the noble defender of the underdog, protector of justice. Clinton's relationship with his wife shows some of the only true romance of the novel, while highlighting the behind-the-scenes roles forced upon intelligent women of the time.
One of the most fascinating characters is Samuel, the footman of Dr. Burdell. Samuel's story illustrates the precarious nature of freedom for blacks in the pre-Civil War north. Clinton's attempts to locate and question Samuel for the case are stymied by an abolitionist minister who gives him a brusque lesson in the realities of race-relations. "Clinton knew that it was not just the South that was aflame; crimes against freedmen and ex-slaves were escalating at an alarming rate in New York City, including a practice whereby Negro citizens who had never been slaves were being kidnapped and sold South, to be turned bodily into gold."
While Horan's dialogue falters occasionally, and some of her plot twists, particularly toward the conclusion of the novel, strike an improbable note, her fascinating glimpses into mid-19th century society and a few key characters keep the plot moving at a rapid enough pace to make 31 Bond Street well worth the read.Powered by Sidelines

A few days ago. I saw where they were having trouble selling tickets to the Inaugural Ball. They were cutting the price. Haven't heard anything lately, though
Flush twice if you live a long way from D.C. That would be my contribution to Dear Leader Zero.
You could not pay me to attend this for these radicals.
The parade that you attend (the crowds/some behavior) is never like what they show overall on television. You go attend; later.. watch on the news and they put on the puff images/the people going nuts and protesting are rarely shown for a democrat. Bush, it was nothing but the protesters being shown and they made it much worse than it was. (not to say the others did not get protested)
Union bosses spit on their members. I know about 30 union electricians and they all HATE Obama!
The inauguration is the sentencing of America to four long years of Punishment..
America is going into the slammer..
Lady Liberty will be gang raped daily..
And Uncle Sams gaydar pegged out..
.... Heck ..... why not? .... After all we now live in a European style Social Labor Government and no longer a Constitutional Republic.
I await the FECs report. I can continue to add to my boycott list. And compare that report to the one issued after the 2009 coronation to see who dropped off the donor rolls.

With ochre dunes and plummeting canyons, Namibia's sights are a feast for the senses.
Namibia is at once an old German colony and land of African traditions. The capital of Windhoek shows off the country's German influence, quaint European buildings and modern lifestyle. Outside of the capital, the Bushmen still cook in cast iron pots, hunting and gathering as they have for thousands of years. But perhaps the most attractive features of this south African country are the soaring crags of Fish River Canyon, and the abounding wildlife of its National Park.
What people say
You'll be thankful when you get back home and for years to come that you did all you could to experience another culture while you were in the midst of it.
What people say
If you love dramatic, ever-changing landscapes, you have to go to Namibia. It's vast and fascinating, and this trip shows it off like it deserves. Rocks, wildlife, canyons, rivers, sunsets - this trip has it all. There are a lot of long drives, but they're not so bad when you're driving through such beautiful territory. I wish I could turn around and do it all over again!

This game park is one of the best places to spot African animals, from elegant antelope to black-faced impala, endangered black rhino and more.

Peregrine offer a surprise everyday. Whether it is a different type of accommodation from the night before to the range of activities offered. I did stuff I would not normally have done, even though I am a traveller not a tourist. I love to visit places no place like home. Peregrine offer lots. Rough roads seeing the country over thousands of klms you really 'feel' a country. My new love in life is Africa and have an African smile thanks to Peregrine.

Depart from a centrally located pickup point in Costa del Sol and relax during the scenic drive to the southern tip of Spain by air-conditioned coach. Climb aboard a high-speed ferry and cruise across the Strait of Gibraltar to the alluring deserts of Morocco; on arrival, take a seat in a spacious vehicle for the direct journey to Tangier.
Commence your tour of Tangier with panoramic sightseeing of the city center and then stroll to impressive landmarks like the medina (old quarter), the kasbah (old fortress) and the small souk. Inhale the rich scent of roasting spices, admire the diverse architectural tableau and summon your courage to edge closer to a snake charmer as you explore the vibrant city of Tangier.
Next, head to a traditional bazaar to browse colorful stalls replete with carpets and handicrafts and then pleasure your palate with a traditional Moroccan lunch at a local restaurant. While feasting on cous cous and tagine, watch an entertaining Berber performance for a wonderful cultural experience.
Head next to Cape Spartel to see the Mediterranean Sea and Atlantic Ocean collide, and then learn about traditional tea rituals at a local tea shop while sipping steaming mint tea. See, too, the undulating sand dunes at the Cave of Hercules and opt to ride a camel for an unforgettable experience (own expense).
Return to the ferry port after an enriching day in Tangier and relax during the journey back to the original departure point in Costa del Sol.
Please note: The itinerary and schedule of this trip are subject to change from December to April due to ferry's timetables and the Ramadan holiday.

My wife and I took this trip with our two teenage daughters and we all had a thoroughly enjoyable day courtesy of Julia Travel. It was perfect for our requirements and great value. Our guides, Jeanette and Hassan were very good, providing an informative and stress free experience for all. Staying near Estepona, we had considered driving to Tariffa ourselves and taking the ferry, but I know we would not have taken in anywhere near as much of Tangier in the limited time and it would have probably cost us more. Highly recommended for anyone wanting a flavour of Morocco in one day!
July 2016
Tour was great! Frank was excellent and there were complications with my passport due to me having an Arabic name but frank sorted it!
Definitely would use again

Saw a lot in little time. Lots of fast walking through busy streets and markets on cobblestone. My sister who was having difficulty walking was able to catch up since the tour stopped often along the way.

This was the highlight of our trip, what a great day. Everything was smoothly planned out and went great. Our tour guides were super. Was traveling with teenagers and even they said it was awesome. It was like Disney world only it was real! Do it if you can.

What a great day! Olga was wonderful. We were picked up at our resort and whisked away to another world. Olga made sure our passports and paperwork were in order and that we didn't have to worry about anything. The ferry ride was fun and then Hassan took us by bus to the new sections of Tangier and to ride a camel. We left the bus and entered the casbah. We wound our way through narrow streets and archways, passing vendors of produce, meats, spices, leatherworks gold and silver. Hassan showed us a window into his world. We were taken to a delicious lunch, a rug merchant and herbalist and then wandered back to the bus, crossed the Straits of Gibraltar and returned to the world we know. Highly recommend this tour.
October 2015
Paco was a great guide, and we really enjoyed the entire experience! Great way to get a small taste of Morocco!
August 2015
An excellent tour. We all enjoyed our day in Tangier. Everything ran very smoothly, lunch was great and the guide, Hassan was extremely knowledgeable and helpful. We usually do our day trips independently, but this is one where it is very worthwhile going on an orgsnised tour.....we managed to fit a lot in, in one day and got a real feel for the place, whilst feeling very safe and in good hands, particularly important to usas we had children with us. Thank you.
July 2015
Very good trip to Morocco! The guides were very professional. We were in good hands. If you have an extra day at Costa del Sol, i can recommend this. Only thing that could be a little different is maybe a little more time on my own to shop. We were a family of 5 persons.
July 2015
All in all, we had a great day in Morocco, traveling from Marbella, Spain to the city of Tanjiers by bus and a large, two story, fully-enclosed speed boat. The trip included a very interesting guided bus tour of the new section of the city, including beautiful wide avenues and lovely buildings with great views of the Atlantic and Mediterranean, beautiful gardens and fountains and a quick but inexpensive 1 Euro camel ride. The guide showed us all the different international sections--British, French, Spanish, American, Italian, etc. Each has its own schools and library, as well as a distinct character. Then we had a guided tour of the old city or Casbah, built in the 14th century. Crowded and narrow streets with bustling food markets, along with jewelry, leather, fabric and other local goods. We stopped along the way at a fine Moroccan restaurant with traditional music and food, which was included in the tour. We also had stops at a Moroccan/Berber rug store and an herbal/homeopathic store with presentations at each. Overall, the trip was well worth it, and we had a very pleasant day meeting fellow passengers and getting to know more about this cosmopolitan city and its long history. I would recommend the tour to others with these caveats: 1 the bus makes dozens of stops at hotels picking and dropping off people all along the way, 2 the rug store presentation was not very exciting and we would have preferred more time shopping on our own, and 3 be prepared to be attacked by local vendors all trying to sell the same goods--bracelets, camels, scarves, Moroccan leather purses, etc. Although many travelers skipped the herbal presentation, we actually enjoyed it. The presenter was informative and funny, prices were affordable and we were able to purchase Moroccan oil and other desired products with little or no hard selling. It was also air conditioned, and the Casbah was very hot that day.

Acacia finds power in heroic 'Irena's Vow'
On the 74th anniversary of Kristallnacht, Acacia Theatre Company opened its new season by commemorating a brave soul who said "no" to the ensuing madness.
Irena Gut was barely 20 when she risked her life by hiding one dozen Jews in the basement of a German officer's house, where she worked as a housekeeper in wartime Poland. In playwright Dan Gordon's "Irena's Vow," she tells us what happened, through a testimonial that morphs into a re-creation of the events she lived through. »Read Full Article(1)
