FORENSIC GEOLOGY The Balloons of War In the fall of 1944 reports of enemy unmanned balloons carrying fire bombs began to come in from the west coast While they were thought to be of Japanese origin, how they were delivered was unclear Bags of sand used for ballast were recovered in some locations Forensic geologists examined the sand and concluded that it was beach sand from Japan Japanese Balloon Bombs In all over 9000 balloons were sent over The balloons reached most of the northwestern part of the country, one reached as far east as Detroit The only casualties were three members of a Sunday school class that were killed when they came across one on a picnic The Balloons of War Because no coral was found in the sand it was thought that the location of the beach had to be in the northern 2/3 of Japan The lack of granite ruled out much of northern Japan The volcanic mineralogy and microfossils allowed the forensic geologists to suggest two possible beaches Aerial reconnaissance showed a hydrogen factory which was immediately bombed Beach and River Sands FORENSIC The word forensic is derived from the Latin word forensus, meaning "of the forum." In ancient Rome, the forum was where governmental debates were held, but it was also where trials were held - it was the courthouse. Sherlock Holmes The world's first forensic geologist "Observation tells me that you have a little reddish mould adhering to your instep. Just opposite the Wigmore Street Office they have taken up the pavement and thrown up some earth, which lies in such a way that it is difficult to avoid treading in it in entering. The earth is of this peculiar reddish tint which is found, as far as I know, nowhere else in the neighborhood" (The Sign of Four) Kidnap and Murder: Adolph Coors III -- February 8, 1960 Convicted: Fugitive felon Joseph Corbett Jr. Soil Layers on 1951 Yellow Mercury burned at the Atlantic City, N.J. dump 4.

Wherever he steps, whatever he touches, whatever he leaves, even unconsciously, will serve as a silent witness against him. Not only his fingerprints or his footprints, but his hair, the fibers from his clothes, the glass he breaks, the tool mark he leaves, the paint he scratches, the blood or semen he deposits or collects. All of these and more, bear mute witness against him. This is evidence that does not forget. It is not confused by the excitement of the moment. It is not absent because human witnesses are. It is factual evidence. Physical evidence cannot be wrong, it cannot perjure itself, it cannot be wholly absent. Only its interpretation can err. Only human failure to find it, study and understand it, can diminish its value." -Professor Edmond Locard (1877-1966) Lewis Felts Case Location: Front Royal, Va.

SEM Image of a Quartz Grain The Father Patrick Heslin Case In Colma, California on 2 August 1921 a priest, Father Patrick Heslin, was kidnapped . - a ransom note was received, but there was no further contact from the kidnapper. -body was found on a local beach by William Hightower, a master baker. -sand grains found on Hightower's knife and in his room matched the beach sand at the site where the body was found. -Hightower convicted of the murder and sentenced to life imprisonment. (Murray and Tedrow, 1992 , p. 8) In September of 1958 a woman's body was found at the edge of the Anacostia River in Washington, D.C. A peculiar black sand was found on the victim, in a suspects car, and at the murder scene. Geologic investigation showed that the sand was blast furnace slag that had been spread on a small section of highway to test it for use in the control of snow and ice. (Block, 1979 p.149-152) Sand from a Construction Site In another example, in southern Ontario a man was arrested and charged with the beating death of the young girl. The scene of the crime was a construction site adjacent to a newly poured concrete wall. The soil was sand that had been transported to the scene for construction purposes. The sand had received additional mixing during the moving and construction process and was quite distinctive. The glove of the suspect contained sand that was similar to that found at the scene and significantly different in composition and particle size from the area of the suspect's home. This was important because the suspect claimed the soil on the gloves came from his garden. (Murray and Tedrow, 1992 , p. 16) Commercial Foundry Sand Sands of heavy minerals, olivine, zircon, etc. are used in foundry work In a breaking and entering case at a foundry in Toronto, Canada a suspects shoes had grains of olivine sand Because olivine sand is not found in place in that part of Canada the sand on the shoes indicated that the suspect had been at the foundry (Murray and Tedrow, 1992 , p. 79) Quartz Sand, Panama City Beach, Florida Oolitic sand, Great Salt Lake, Utah (Organic Calcium carbonate) Olivine Sand, Hawaii Gypsum Sand, New Mexico Magnetite Sand, New Zealand Basalt Sand, Hawaii Olivine Sand, Hawaii Uniform size distribution Casino Beach, France Non-uniform size distribution Frosted St. Peter Sandstone, Midwest, USA Polished Sand Grains from Key Biscayne, Florida Sand Grains from the Jordanian Desert Spherical Grains St. Peter Sandstone, Midwest, USA Pollen Grains Forensic Palynology In forensics the various properties of spores and pollen can be used to determine various things including: Indicate the origin and travel history of a sample e.g. illicit drugs Indicate the geologic age of a sample and thus its location from a geologic map Indicate a specific plant from a specific location Indicate a specific assemblage of plants such as a specific garden etc. The Prof. Ed Stanley Case The Microscope, 1992, v. 40 no.3,p.149-152 N 124 grams of seized cocaine was examined at the NY City Forensics Lab; three different groups of pollen were identified First consisted of pollen native from South America where the cocaine was originally processed.

The south Antrim representative made the comments during the Frank Mitchell's show after loyalists agreed to move a towering structure in the Ballyduff estate over safety fears.
On Wednesday, organisers said they would not make the bonfire any larger, and it would be moved 500m.
Mr Girvan, who was involved in the "eleventh hour" discussions with the community over their concerns, said putting an Irish flag on top of a bonfire to burn it was "part of their culture".
Speaking on radio, he said: "I come from a society that this is part of their culture to have an Eleventh Night bonfire and what goes into that bonfire is important.
"Also some people feel it's perfectly alright to put the flag of a foreign nation, which actually at one time, and let's be honest until relatively recently, was claiming that they had some right over Northern Ireland.
I've no problem about the burning of a tricolour on top of a bonfire, let's be honest. I'm not going to make any apologies for that. That's the flag of a foreign country as far as I'm concerned.Paul Girvan
I've no problem about the burning of a tricolour on top of a bonfire, let's be honest. I'm not going to make any apologies for that. That's the flag of a foreign country as far as I'm concerned.
Paul Girvan
He continued: "There are bonfires in August as well where the Union flag would be burned.
"I'm just saying it does happen on bonfires and on many occasions the people who put it on a bonfire are saying: 'this is something we do not want to see ruling over us'."
Mr Girvan said if burning a flag does cause offence, it should be debated in a proper forum.
In a statement released later on Thursday, the politician said he had "made it clear that the burning of flags can be seen as provocative by those who would hold these symbols dear and I want to see a reduction of this activity".
"This includes when unionist or loyalist flags are placed on republican bonfires," he added.
"We must recognise that Eleventh Night bonfires are an important cultural tradition and if people feel these kind of expressions are under attack it can actually lead to an increase of incidents where flags and other emblems are burned."
Mr Girvan continued: "I will happily work to reduce the incidence of this just as I was happy to help achieve a positive outcome in terms of the location of the bonfire in Ballyduff.
"Hopefully all those who have rushed simply to issue condemnation will be as clear in their support of the right to celebrate the cultural tradition of Eleventh Night bonfires."
I do not encourage anyone to burn flags of any country.Paul Girvan
I do not encourage anyone to burn flags of any country.
Mr Girvan welcomed the decision to move the Ballyduff bonfire and remove the tyres, adding that the complaints were over the size of the structure, not its existence.
"The young men who are building this live in the community as well, so they see the effect it can have," he added.
"They were not necessarily holding the community to ransom over this. After it was presented in a very coherent and clear form, they were willing to make those movements."
The bonfire was originally built close to houses, and there were suggestions firefighters may have to douse homes with foam in a bid to protect them from flames and sparks.
The DUP man said the decision to remove the Union flag from Belfast City Hall had aggravated loyalists, which in turn led to bigger structures.
"Part of the reason why bonfires are larger this year is because of the flag protests and the decision that was made at Belfast City Hall. That has had a knock-on effect in my community.
"It affects everyone and now we are dealing with the aftermath of that problem," he added.
Alliance leader David Ford has hit out at Mr Girvan for his comments on U105.
The South Antrim MLA said: "It is unacceptable to burn any flag no matter what country it represents.
"As we seek to have a peaceful summer, tensions should be kept to a minimum.
"People are entitled to celebrate their culture, however they should not seek to offend others.
"Politicians have a responsibility to show leadership and set an example. I believe his comments fall well short of what is expected from an MLA."
Meanwhile a DUP spokesman said: "All flags should be respected. We don't want to see anyone's culture disrespected."

4.00 rating Large seat by photogirl7 on January 23, 2013
I love all my evenflo products. I had purchased a Symphony for my daughter. This seat seems much larger than that one I guess its all the side impact padding. I do wish this seat had the surelatch on it, but overall I'm happy with my purchase. I would recommend it to others.
5.00 rating Great product by Michelle Palardy on January 12, 2013
After looking at several different convertible car seats, I chose the evenflo momentum 65 for my grandson. He is very comfortable in this seat, as he actually played in it for 1/2 hour after I first received it! No complaints from him or me! I have recommended this product to my son, as he is looking for another car seat also.
5.00 rating Side impact protection!!! by Concerned mommy on December 4, 2010
I am a consumer report mom. Everything is researched, reviewed, and hands on evaluated. This seat has not been reviewed by consumer report yet, for it is a new model. The reviews and price for an evenflow model is what introduced me to research this one. I love the extra padding around the facial area for side impact protection. Even though my son sits in the middle, there is never enough that can be done for safety. He seems to be more comfortable as well now that he is out of his infant seat. I am only 4'10 and therefore I can sit in the seat... it's very comfortable!! |

By Elizabeth White In the Subscription Economy, purchase-to-use is winning, and purchase-to-own is on its way out. The key to success is that customers are actually using a product or service and in the Subscription Economy, the future is clear: delivering value drives revenue. Accessing this data to understand usage, and resulting customer value, is mandatory to survival.
In his session at 14th Cloud Expo, Matthew Shanahan, SVP of Marketing and Strategy at Scout by Service Source, will discuss how businesses in industries such as telecom, SaaS, financial services, healthcare and education can, and are, leveraging data science methods to predict and avoid customer churn and increase revenue.

By Pat Romanski Cloud environments have created situations that allow users, customers, consumers, and employees to access Public, Intranet, and Extranet applications from different locations, devices, and as different personas. The focus of all the Internet and enterprise front-end applications today is to enhance the user experience. In addition, with advances in mobility and BYOD, the line between public and private becomes a deep shade of gray.
At the same time, organizations are leveraging SaaS applications, such as Google Apps and DropBox, for their internal business communication and collaboration. This opens up challenges in providing a universal identity for the user, while at the same time retaining the flexibility to segregate access depending on the scenario. While cloud computing environments may offer different levels of abstraction to its users, federated identity management does not leverage these abstractions; each user must set up her identity management solution. This situation is... Mar. 13, 2014 10:00 AM EDT Reads: 971 |
By Elizabeth White A trendsetter in intimate women's apparel, Frederick's of Hollywood, needed a cloud strategy that merged stability, security and PCI compliance needs with the ability to scale up during retail busy season.

By Elizabeth White The evolutionary nature of mobile presents a security-centric challenge for businesses with corporate content on these devices. Enterprises put themselves at risk when users access sensitive information through email and applications across smartphones and tablets, while mobile. Organizations can choose to ignore this security threat or enhance employee productivity through secure corporate containers.
In his session at 14th Cloud Expo, Eric Owings, an enterprise account executive at AirWatch®, will discuss best practices and strategies to ensure global security and workforce enablement by leveraging enterprise mobility management (EMM) across the enterprise. He will also provide attendees with a deeper understanding of enterprise mobility in a connected ecosystem, while ensuring security and compliance in the cloud.

By Liz McMillan Cascading is the popular Java-based application development framework for building Big Data applications on Apache Hadoop. This open source framework allows you to leverage existing skillsets such as Java, SQL, R, and more to create enterprise-grade applications without having to think in MapReduce.
In his session at 5th Big Data Expo, Alexis Roos, a Senior Solutions Architect focusing on Big Data solutions at Concurrent, Inc., will give an introduction to Cascading, how it works, and then dive into how enterprises can start building applications with Cascading. Come and see how companies like Twitter, eBay, Etsy, and other data-driven companies are taking advantage of Cascading and how Cascading is changing the business of Big Data in the enterprise.

By Liz McMillan The world's largest and most successful private cloud operations are revolutionizing their approach to demand management. These organizations have recognized that while self-service portals are a component in the overall cloud architecture, these tools do not enable demand management. In fact, in many cases the portals and end-user interfaces don't actually capture anything to do with demand, but instead force the user to enter the capacity "supply" requirements that they think will meet their demands. This is very different. Large enterprises have recognized the need to look beyond immediate requests to also model the "pipeline" of new demands that will be coming down the road. It is only by capturing new immediate requirements, an understanding of the pipeline and what is running in environments that organizations can possibly hope to accurately model demand and properly allocate compute, storage and network resources.

By Elizabeth White Almost everyone sees the potential of Internet of Things but how can businesses truly unlock that potential. The key will be in the ability to discover business insight in the midst of an ocean of Big Data generated from billions of embedded devices via Systems of Discover. Businesses will also need to ensure that they can sustain that insight by leveraging the cloud for global reach, scale and elasticity. Without bringing these three elements together via Systems of Discover you either end up with an Internet of somethings and/or a big mess of data.
In his session at @ThingsExpo, Mac Devine, a Distinguished Engineer at IBM, will focus on how to ensure businesses have the right plans in place for Systems of Discovery for the Internet-of-Things world we are entering. Mar. 4, 2014 09:00 AM EST Reads: 2,354 |

By Pat Romanski As businesses aspire to move more and more application workloads outside of the boundaries of their private cloud data centers, public cloud service providers are increasingly implementing a private cloud staple: resiliency.
In his session at 14th Cloud Expo, John Roese, SVP and Chief CTO at EMC Corporation, will summarize the key architectural tenets of resilient private cloud architectures. These tenets can be implemented in any service provider cloud implementation, regardless of hypervisor choice (e.g., VMware, Hyper-V, Xen), cloud orchestration software (e.g., vSphere, OpenStack), network implementation (e.g., SDN, NFV), or storage implementation (file, block, object). A resilient public cloud will naturally attract increased workload migration, and the rest of the session will describe foundational technologies that facilitate not only secure and seamless application workload migration, but secure and seamless data set migration as well.

By Pat Romanski Fueled by the global economic situation, the government's focus on datacenter consolidation and the "Cloud First" initiative, Cloud Computing continues to be the buzzword of the year. As government agencies start to adopt cloud computing, additional challenges including security in the cloud have become prominent barriers to adoption.
In his session at 14th Cloud Expo, Majed Saadi, Director of the Cloud Computing Practice at SRA International, will focus on providing a quick Cloud Computing technology update with an emphasis on current Cloud Computing security trends and drivers. Examples of these trends include: the utilization and evaluation of Clouds in both active and passive surveillance systems and the use of High Performance Clouds for expanding scientist ability to access data. He will also introduces best practices and lessons learned for securing both public and private cloud environments. It offers insight into how Cloud Computing coupled with other technical advancements i... Feb. 24, 2014 09:45 AM EST Reads: 2,463 |
By Elizabeth White With Windows Server 2003 end of extended support approaching, enterprises must begin their migration planning for all affected production applications. There are a variety of approaches and many people will take a "mix and match" approach. Whatever the approach, it's important to have a migration plan now – 200 business days goes by quickly when some applications take weeks to migrate. This is the perfect opportunity to move those applications to the Cloud. There's a way to move your applications and modernize (move to the cloud) at the same time.

By Pat Romanski Software development, like engineering, is a craft that requires the application of creative approaches to solve problems given a wide range of constraints. However, while engineering design may be craftwork, the production of most designed objects relies on a standardized and automated manufacturing process. By contrast, much of what's typically involved when moving an application from prototype to production and, indeed, maintaining the application through its lifecycle remains craftwork.

By Elizabeth White Are you re-creating existing technology silos in the cloud? If so, your entire enterprise investment in the cloud is at risk.
From the perspective of IT, organizational silos seem to be the root of all problems. Every line of business, every department, every functional area has its own requirements, its own technology preferences, and its own way of doing things. They have historically invested in specialized components for narrow purposes, which IT must then conventionally integrate via application middleware – increasing the cost, complexity, and brittleness of the overall architecture.
Now those same stakeholders want to move to the cloud. Save money with SaaS apps! Reduce data center costs with IaaS! Build a single private cloud we can all share! But breaking down the technical silos is easier said than done. There are endless problems: Static interfaces. Legacy technology. Inconsistent policies, rules, and processes. Crusty old middleware that predates the cloud. And everybod... Feb. 21, 2014 11:00 AM EST Reads: 2,156 |
By Pat Romanski Recent high-profile events (2010 Haitian Earthquake, 2011 Tōhoku Earthquake and Tsunami, 2013 Typhoon Haiyan/Yolanda) have highlighted the growing importance played by the international community in successful humanitarian assistance and disaster response. These events also showcased the critical importance of quickly providing robust information technology resources to response effort participants. In June 2010, in support of its continuing effort to foster international collaboration, the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) initiated a dialog with the Network Centric Operations Industry Consortium (NCOIC) to discuss this and other aspects of geospatial data information-sharing across the international community. In response to this request the NCOIC through the use of a cloud services brokerage paradigm, built and demonstrated a federated cloud computing infrastructure capable of managing the electronic exchange of geospatial data.

Smoke & Mirrors - Ferrari 250 GT/E 2+2 #2835
One of the 954 Ferrari 250 GT/E 2+2s was Enzo Ferrari's daily driver of choice while it was in production from 1960 to 1963.
In the mid 1990's Tom Zat commissioned Mark Gerisch and M & L Auto Specialists, of Wisconsin to convert his 250 GT/E 2+2 #2835, into a replica 250 GT SWB Competizione of which just 73 original models were made.
As the Bonhams catalogue said when this vehicle came under the auctioneers hammer in May 2008,
"exciting and fully road legal, this highly desirable and versatile Ferrari represents a wonderful opportunity to acquire an attractive facsimile of the much sought after and legendary 250GT SWB Competizione at a fraction of the price. "
Hope you have enjoyed Ferrari Friday, back again tomorrow with a unbelievably cool Lister Bristol at Thompson CT in 1958, don't forget to come back now !
Reactions: |
5 comments:
Fun Ferrari Friday as always!
When I visited CAM I saw another of Enzo's daily drivers. I hope my dad, J2Allard, will chime in with the model as I did not commit it to memory.
Wish I had a few Ferraris to choose from for my daily jaunts. But, in my line of work, the Toyota Sienna minivan is perfect! ;-)

Bob & Earl started out as one of several aliases under which Bobby Day (of "Little Bitty Pretty One" and "Rockin' Robin" fame) and Earl Nelson (aka Jackie Lee) (born September 8, 1928) recorded together for the Los Angeles-based Class Records label. The two harmonized beautifully, with a smooth, unshowy, yet powerful sound that reflected Nelson's background in gospel, and they had four singles released under that name (in addition to other sides credited to Earl Nelson & the Pelicans, Bobby Day & the Satellites, and the Hollywood Flames) starting around 1960 (some sources have them using the name as early as 1957), of which the slow, impassioned ballad "That's My Desire" and its rocking, comical B-side, "You Made a Boo Boo," got the highest exposure, released twice. Nelson parted company with Day and later formed a new partnership with a singer named Bobby Relf, and the two continued using the name Bob & Earl. The second version of Bob & Earl made an indelible mark on popular culture in 1963 by recording the original version of "Harlem Shuffle" (produced by Barry White), which was a modest success in America and a major hit in England. Bob Relf exited the duo in the mid-'60s and was replaced by Bobby Garrett, who kept the partnership with Nelson alive into the 1970s. ~ Bruce Eder

Cambridge Suites - Halifax
Travel Blogs from Halifax
A day around Halifax
Halifax is a great city. Very clean and the people are friendly. Went to the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic. Displays of ships and Halifax history. Learned how the city was devastated by the explosion of a French ship in the harbor. The largest blast until Hiroshima. Walked the boardwalk down to the casino where we spent a little time and money. < …
Dancing through the raindrops
Had breakfast in Lunenburg. Toured around town looking at harbour, scenery and old buildings. Very picturesque. Got to see sights of Ellen Page CISCO commercials (Town Hall & Academy). Drove Lighthouse route to Mahone Harbor, Chester and Peggy's Cove. Rain was very heavy at times but we had our gear. Stopped at Swissair 111 memorial near Peggy' …
Our final stop in the far east (of Canada)
... survivors were on their way. The town prepared to receive survivors, bodies, and a damaged ship. No one had told them that the Titanic was sitting at the bottom of the ocean. Then the survivors were taken to New York. The dead were taken to Halifax. In fact, 3 Halagonian ships were sent out to the site in the days after the sinking to retrieve bodies. What an awful task! 328 bodies were recovered. Some were buried at sea, some delivered back ...

... alone. The unfortunate part was when exited the tour it was 17:00 and the pier 21 site was closed. So, we decided to take a walk down the boardwalk. Which allowed all of us to drool over several privately owned yachts. When the bell rang 18:00 we headed back up the hill to our rig and started driving to Cape Breton Island . Come 9pm we decided to call it a night and pulled into the Irving truck stop in Port ...
Quiet day around town
... Mona's appartment. We went up to hang out briefly, and I said hi to Sarah. She has been busy with her french course, so couldn't join us today. We then had a late dinner together at Wasabi House. The food was good and service was great. Overall the day was quite relaxing and enjoyable to eat and chat with Mona and Cynthia.
We've rented a car for the weekend, so I look forward to some adventures soon.

Historical Traveler Reviews Cambridge Suites - Halifax
Fantastic stay at the Cambridge Suites
I just wanted to ensure that anybody travelling to Halifax for business or pleasure should definately stay at the Cambridge Suites. The rooms are newly renovated and extremely comfortable and large. The continental breakfast had a great variety and the quality was excellent. The staff certainly lived up to the Maratime hospitality that atlantic provinces are renouned for. It was a pleasure staying there and I will not hesitate to stay there again on my next visit. In fact, I look forward to it. Thanks to all the kind staff who made my stay so fantastic.
Great stay
I found this to be a very pleasant place to stay.
My work has me travelling across the Maritime Region and I found the Cambridge a very comfortable and friendly place to stay.
The staff were helpful and pleasant.
Breakfast was good: juice, fruit, muffins, breads for toasting.
The room was more than expected. Clean and well maintained.
Great place!
I am a real fan of the Cambridge Suites chain. I have stayed many times at the Toronto location and decided to also try the one in Halifax and again was not disapointed.
While the Toronto hotel is the ultimate in all suites luxury, the Halifax location is accordingly toned down and perfect for the city. Close to all major attractions, clean, spacious rooms and friendly service all make it a must stay!
The continental breakfast can sometime get hairy, but at least its offered! Id recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Halifax.
Great Location
We chose this hotel because it is the only hotel in downtown Halifax that offers a one bedroom "suite."I was travelling with my 13 year old son so some privacy was important!The rooms are cetainly dated and the carpets are worn.It is overpriced for the quality of the hotel.On Wed. evenings in the summer the Manager offers guests a free cocktail and bbq on the lovely deck overlooking the harbour.The location is great-easy access to the main shopping district of Spring Garden Rd. and a ten minute walk to the waterfront.(very hilly)
Very impressed
Haev just got back home after staying at the Cambridge Suite for 5 nights. We had a suite with harbour view. The room was very spacious, clean and well thought out. Check in staff at reception were very pleasant and efficient. There was no problem when we asked if we could check out later than planned (3 pm) as our flight was delayed. It really was one of the most pleasant hotels we have stayed in and wouldn't hesitate to go back again.
Also impressed by the fact that since returning home, we have had a email from them asking if our stay was satisfactory, and after filling in the on-line questionnaire we have had a email back from them thanking us.
Not recommended
We stayed here February 2000 for one night to attend a concert at the Halifax Metro Centre.
Don't bother reserving!
While the hotel is adequate, don't bother with a reservation as it will likely be dishonoured. Our reservation for a suite made three months in advance of a busy 2003 Labour Day weekend and confirmed in writing by the hotel was disregarded upon arrival based on some story about the people in our room wishing to stay on and not wanting to "throw them out". Arrival was mid-afternoon after a two day drive from Ontario with a family of four, including two teenagers. A suite on a smoking floor was offered, but the tobacco smell was extremely offensive and unacceptable (particularly with an asthmatic child). With all other hotels fully booked, we were crowded into a small standard room with two beds. The check in staff made minimal attempts to accommodate, offered only a minor discount and there was no follow up.
Home for 12 days
I found this to be a very pleasant place to call home for 12 days.
I travel plenty as a computer consultant so I feel I know of what I speak.
The staff were helpful and pleasant. Breakfast was good for continental: juice, fruit, muffins, breads for toasting. Full breakfast was available at normal breakfast prices.
Exercise room was clean, with a full universal gym and movement machines of a fair variety.
Worst Hotel Experience Ever
requested rm on top fl. was given 2nd fl no view with hammering 2 drs down to wake up to a 8am - apparently they keep the higher flrs for regulars- charming. Staff incompetent, amenities poorly stocked, room looked dated and dirty - and not like those photos posted on website, overcharged - was told $180 was due to hike increase because the demand put on hotel since Hurricane Juan - isn't that illegal?? 'deluxe continental breakfast' - ha! if you could get any - no place to sit, empty coffee pots, disorganized - garbage everywhere. A complete disappointment - really felt like we were ripped off - would never recommend this hotel - even friends who knew it were shocked at the price we paid.
Cambridge Suites Good Value
We stayed at Cambridge Suites in August 2001. It is not the most luxurious hotel but it is quite nice. It has an excellent location - between Barrington Street and Citadel Hill - just a stone's throw from Spring Garden Road. You can walk just about anywhere. The is a decent licensed restaurant on site. The service was good and the value for location is very good. Parking is an adventure and I wouldn't want to try and get a good size SUV into it!!

Hammacher Schlemmer Introduces The Bicycle Rearview Camera
NEW YORK, May 15, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Continuing its 164-year history of offering the Best, the Only and the Unexpected, Hammacher Schlemmer introduces The Bicycle Rearview Camera, a system that mounts to a bike and provides a real-time, clear view of what is behind a cyclist.
The pocket-sized camera mounts to a bicycle's seat post and the 3 1/2" TFT color monitor attaches to the handlebars, providing a clear, color video of the road behind you. The camera's 75 degree field of view is ideal for monitoring approaching vehicles or other cyclists and the 78 3/4" zip-tied cable that connects the camera and the monitor accommodates any frame geometry.
"The Bicycle Rearview Camera allows cyclists to monitor what's behind them without forcing the rider to turn their head and take their eyes off of the road," explained Hammacher Schlemmer's General Manager Fred Berns.
A sensor built into the camera detects low-light conditions and automatically illuminates a circular pattern of red LEDs that flash to alert motorists of your presence. The Bicycle Rearview Camera system is built to resist damage from weather and vibrations and the rechargeable battery provides up to 10 hours of operation after a two-hour charge using the included AC adapter.
The Bicycle Rearview Camera is available from Hammacher Schlemmer for $179.95. For more information about this product, please visit http://www.hammacher.com/82465 or contact Trish Hammond at (847) 581-8987 or via e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com .

AIDS Treatment Remains a Delicate Balance
More than 20,000 people are expected to attend the 16th annual International AIDS conference underway in Toronto, Canada. AIDS has become a treatable chronic disease in wealthy countries like the U.S. Despite advances, treating AIDS is still not a simple matter.
Copyright © 2006 NPR. For personal, noncommercial use only. See Terms of Use. For other uses, prior permission required.
RENEE MONTAGNE, host:
This is MORNING EDITION from NPR News. I'm Renee Montagne.
STEVE INSKEEP, host:
And I'm Steve Inskeep.
The 16th International AIDS Conference is underway in Toronto, Canada. It will focus on expanding treatment to people in the poorest countries, where limited numbers of people are on anti-AIDS drugs.
In developed countries, AIDS is now considered a manageable chronic illness.
MONTAGNE: Treatments have improved dramatically since the first effective anti-AIDS medicines were introduced ten years ago. Just last month, a U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved a once-daily pill for HIV.
NPR's Brenda Wilson found, however, that treating people with HIV is anything but simple.
BRENDA WILSON reporting:
In Houston, the discreetly named Thomas Street Health Center is a one-stop source of medical care for more than 4,000 people with HIV. It includes a brightly lit, bustling pharmacy in the basement.
Orgolsen Williams(ph) is playfully chiding a pharmacist.
Mr. ORGOLSEN WILLIAMS (Patient): (Unintelligible). Fill 'em! Fill 'em!
WILSON: Williams is waiting for three prescriptions, all of them for problems related to HIV or the side effects of the medications for treating it.
Thomas Giordano, the director of the health center, says paradoxically, as anti-AIDS medications become simpler, the care has become more complicated.
Dr. THOMAS GIORDANO (Thomas Street Health Center): The days of waking, setting your alarm clock for three in the morning to take your AZT are gone, fortunately, but people still have to take a lot of medicines often.
Mr. WILLIAMS: (Unintelligible).
WILSON: AZT was the first anti-AIDS drug. It was taken alone, but it had to be taken every four hours around the clock. And the virus quickly became resistant to it.
The major breakthrough of combination therapy was announced ten years ago at the International AIDS Conference in Vancouver. Drugs like AZT and others could be combined in cocktails with protease inhibitors and other anti-AIDS drugs to keep the virus on the defensive.
Giordano says that allowed immune systems to rebound, and people are living longer and aging.
Dr. GIORDANO: So they're getting heart disease and they're getting high blood pressure and diabetes. They probably have a familial history of it and maybe would develop it ultimately, but because of the HIV and the medicines, they are probably developing it earlier than they would.
WILSON: Patients who think they've cheated death find that they then must face a series of medical obstacles as they get older.
Dr. WAYNE SHANDERA (Baylor College of Medicine): Okay, well, let's have you sit up here so I can examine you.
WILSON: Dr. Wayne Shandera, an infectious disease specialist at Baylor College of Medicine, spends two days a week at Thomas Street. One of his star patients is Carolyn(ph), a tall, self-effacing yet regal woman who doesn't want her last name given.
CAROLYN (AIDS Patient): When I first came here, I was a walking zombie. I was too stubborn to get in a wheelchair, and I was leaning against a wall.
WILSON: That was ten years ago, Shandera remembers.
Dr. SHANDERA: You had trouble swallowing, and you had a fungus. Remember? And you responded well to therapy, and you have done really very well, haven't you?
CAROLYN: Yes, very well. At one time I thought I wasn't going to make it, but...
Dr. SHANDERA: You've had some complications with the therapies, though, haven't you?
CAROLYN: Different medications, until we found one that worked better in my system.
WILSON: There's a broad selection of anti-AIDS drugs to choose from now, and the regimens have dropped to twice and even once a day. But some can be difficult to take.
CAROLYN: Ziagen was one of them. I couldn't really do much of anything. I was just barely existing with it. Not knowing that was it, I thought (unintelligible) depression (unintelligible) the medication.
WILSON: Certain people with HIV can't take Ziagen, and African-Americans tend to be more likely to have a bad reaction - swollen glands, fever, rashes. When treatment with Ziogen is stopped and then started again, it can be fatal.
Carolyn is taking ten pills a day for high cholesterol, hypertension, diabetes and depression. Like many AIDS patients, she also had problems with Kriksovan(ph), a protease inhibitor.
CAROLYN: They took me off that when they found out I was diabetic.
Dr. SHANDERA: And then also you had some trouble with fat accumulations at one point. It was one of the concerns that we had.
CAROLYN: It's still (unintelligible) the fatty tissue is pretty much settling in my abdomen area, in my upper torso. And it's kind of decreased on my arms and legs.
WILSON: There's some disagreement over whether HIV or the medicines contribute to a syndrome where extra pads of fat accumulate on the belly, and neck and the legs and arms become very skinny.
Thomas Street director Giordano says it's not that clear cut.
Dr. GIORDANO: People certainly lose weight when they get AIDS, but with the treatments, often people put on weight again and sometimes put on too much weight. And I think that's partly American lifestyle and partly the medicines.
WILSON: Most AIDS experts agree that anti-AIDS drugs can lead to high cholesterol rates, which increase the risk of heart disease. And the HIV-AIDS drugs are notorious for interactions with the drugs that are used to treat some of these conditions.
Dr. GIORDANO: Another drug can either dramatically affect the levels of the HIV medicines and make them no longer work, or the HIV medicines can affect the level of the other drug you're prescribing, such that the levels become dangerously toxic or the levels become too low and are ineffective.
Thomas Street keeps a roster of specialists that Dr. Shandera can call upon when a patient has complications that stump him.
Dr. SHANDERA: And you have a new problem today?
Mr. HENRY WILLIAMS (Patient): Sometimes I have a hard time, you know, gripping stuff.
Dr. SHANDERA: Yeah, I think I'm going to try our Baylor rheumatologist.
WILSON: Fifty-seven-year-old Henry Williams is managing HIV very well, but he has a fairly common problem related to the medication's toxicity: neuropathy, a tingling in his feet that comes and goes. But these new pains are different. They will have to be tests and Henry will get more painkillers: Neurontin. Otherwise his current medical regimen is a lot simpler than the 20 pills he used to take.
Mr. WILLIAMS: The three HIV meds, I take them all the same time at night before I go to bed. And then the Neurontin, I take it usually in the morning and then usually about an hour or two before I go to bed.
WILSON: So when you started out, did you have to take more meds?
Mr. WILLIAMS: Oh, yes. I took a lot of meds when I first started out.
Dr. SHANDERA: You came just at the knick of time, didn't it? Because...
Mr. WILLIAMS: Uh-huh. I feel very fortunate.
Dr. SHANDERA: You are very fortunate, because it was 1996. And if you had presented just two years earlier, you probably wouldn't be here.
Mr. WILLIAMS: I had several friends that died, so I feel very lucky.
Dr. SHANDERA: In '96 you did well. In '94 you didn't.
WILSON: Williams lives on disability, his treatment paid for by Medicare. If there is a glitch in the treatment of people with HIV in the U.S., it's getting them into care, particularly if they're not insured. Every state is different, some more generous than others. Thomas Street is open to anyone with HIV, but mostly Houston's poorest.
The Harris County Hospital district pulls in $22 million each year for AIDS care from a variety of federal and state programs such as Medicaid and the federal Ryan White Care Program.
Director Thomas Giordano says this fragmented system of healthcare can put the lives of poor people with HIV at risk.
Dr. GIORDANO: If you have HIV and you go a week without your HIV medications because of an administrative snafu, you could actually suffer adverse consequences. Your HIV might become resistant to the medicines that you're on and you might have to change medicines. And there's only so many times you can change medicines before you're out of options.
WILSON: It is estimated that a fourth of the 800,000 people in this country with HIV don't know they're infected. Most will find out the way Carolyn did, when they get sick. But they may also discover, as she did, that that is when the healing begins.
CAROLYN: I said, well, if God hadn't taken me out this way, maybe it's not time. Maybe there's something else He want me to do in life. So actually I've been a lot more healthier. It's made me a lot stronger. When I tell people that, they look at you, like, oh, man, she's weird. Why would she say that?
WILSON: Learning that you have HIV is a life-altering experience requiring vigilance, attention to health and a lifetime on medications to keep the virus in check. It means never having sex without exposing others to the virus unless precautions are taken, and always knowing that death is never very far away.

Product Type: Hewlett-Packard laptops
Newest Review: ... music whilst surfing the internet, when Im using software that does large amount of processing, say editing large RAW image files it only ... more
reliable computer let down with minor issues
HP G62-b13SA
Member Name: jonnymobs
HP G62-b13SA
Date: 11/04/11
Advantages: unique looks. high peformance
Disadvantages: small fixable hardware issues
ok so i was looking for a much faster computer and after doing a little research i decided to see what the G62 could do for me. a few months later i have put the G62 through its paces and have to say that i am pleased with many major issues, but there are a few minor things that require improvement.
The first thing you notice about the G62 is its stunningly unique looks. insted of traditional shiny surfaces that collect dust fast and ultimately lose lusture, the G62 has a textured mat finish that is easy to clean and looks great. the keyboard is sleek and flush with little in the way or curved keys whitch is somthing i appriciate.
Once you have booted up tour computer for the first time you immediately notice the speed and efficency of the i5 processor as it is released. it takes around 7 seconds from button press to login whitch is fast enough for most of us. HP make the effort for an intuitive set up with detailed graphics and ease of use troubleshooting. so i was able to set up without much hassle.
the G62 is a powerfull laptop. boasting the new intel i range of processors it will make short work of most programs. couple this together with its ample 4GB of ram and it can run multiple, memory consuming tasks at once. the 6 hrs of battery life also help with on the go computing.
i found there to be a few design/hardware issuew with my G62. in the beginning my F keys would not function. this was quickly solved by the HP staff and i assume it was an isolated case. however somthing i am sure is not an isolated case is the keyboard itself. there are a set of quick fire keys to bring up often used programs quickly. this is nothing new and they are usually placed above the keyboard. however HP wanted to be different and some bright spark thought it would be good to place these keys down the left hand side next to the keyboard whitch simply does not make sense. i've lost count the many times i would attempt to hit the caps lock key and insted bring up a DVD player. Or try to hit shift and insted open my calculator. again this is solvable as i am not the only one who thinks this is a stupid idea and there are online guides to disabling these keys.
Bottom Line
The G62 is a powerful sleek and ultimately good computer. any minor issues i have brought up can be fixed and i am very pleased with how it runs high memory applications such as games. its pouplariaty is well deserved and as far as premium peformance laptops go is up there with the best.
Summary: worth a look if you want a premium powerful laptop

Tara with limited screen time is way better.
Tara with limited screen time is way better.
Go McKongses
as much as I hate Tara, I love the dynamic with her and Pam. Pam makes everything better.
I'll be really sad when this season ends too. I love this show. Even when it starts to meander and sort of get lost in itself, it always picks up at the very end of the season. True Blood knows how to do finales.
"Hockey won't hold still to give you a better look. You wouldn't want it to anyway. It's the action that makes the possibilities endless."
Yeah, Tara has been much more palatable dead. And I am finally on board. Jessica, despite being a tall gorky redhead, is kinda cute.
I'm not saying that it's BAD...just that it's really really drifting in that direction. If the acting was ****, the writing would be getting torn to shreds right now. Just a couple of absurdities from last night:
1. Mac breaking down (again) in front of everyone and screaming.
2. Luckiest and most connected newsroom ever? Not only do you have two connections at BP, you also have someone who knows the guy running cleanup at the nuclear power plant in Japan, and NOW you have someone who knows Casey Anthony? Man, what a bunch of breaks....
3. Someone you went on "one or two dates" months ago suddenly sends you flowers?
4. A debate that anyone with half a brain would know is never going to fly?
5. In said debate you're asking questions about a candidates infidelity while spending the whole season talking about how it's irrelevant talk? Not to mention fighting in the same episode to not cover the Weiner case because there's no allegations that he did anything to jeopardize the office?
6. That stupid love quadrangle scene near the end?
7. The whole internet troll as a news story and using staff members as bait?
8. Jeff Daniels falling in the middle of the room while trying to put his pants on after the obvious setup with his tailor?
9. That scene where they're trying to get Lisa to come on the show while she's working?
10. Her being adamant about not going on there and then turning into a pro-abortion, race aware, missing person advocate?
I could go on...but it hurts my head.
Having said that, I enjoy True Blood. Probably because I just started watching this season so I don't have the attachment that many of you probably do. I find the quirky weird stuff sort of fun.
You came on at a good time with True Blood. It's been a fairly positive season. And yes, The Newsroom is not a great representation of tv news, Mary Tyler Moore was more realistic...but as far as entertainment I love it. It's silly but well done. It's easy to rail against Sorkin because he is trying to create this reverential/serious tribute to news media and the results are bordering on sitcom. For what it is, I find it a lot of cute, charming fun.
great point, and that's all Sorkin. I'll admit, it is normally something that I would brand as smug and self-loving without even watching it. Glad I watched it with an open mind instead, and I can forgive Sorkin's excessive traits. Once again...it's the banter and the acting that raise it above it's faults. I expect season 2 to address a lot of the down side. Sorkin has said that the criticisms make no difference because the entire season was filmed before it started airing. So if he wants to make changes it'll show in the second season.

Questions & Answers
All-Clad Stainless Steel Nonstick French Skillet with Domed Lid
Great Pan!!! Ryan from Billings, MT– Verified Buyer We have the 11 inch and we bought this 9 inch and it is just the perfect size to cook 2 to 3 eggs and the non-stick is great for the foods that tend to stick to our stainless All Clad pans. I really like the lid just a great addition to any set of pans. |
a Lisa Hartley from acworth, GA– Verified Buyer– Top 5 Reviewer This is a great product. WE are both so happy with it... definitely money well spent. Ordering was easy and shipping was fast. Thanks! |
Excellen Quality & Performance Gary D'Orio from Kinnelon, NJ– Verified Buyer Quality & performance are All-Clad excellent. Domed cover doesn't look as sleek as the regular flat covers. Price is good but not cheap. The 13" skillet was not in stock & had to be ordered. Bottom cooking area was better than expected, but not as much as the larger 12" & up fry pans & skillets. I don't have or use many non-stick pans, but when I do, I want the best quality & this is it! |
Great Pan Ryan from Billings, MT– Verified Buyer We use this pan a lot with the lid. Made in the USA!!!! Heats really good only need to use medium heat when cooking. Great for cooking items with no oil or grease and cleans easy. We plan to buy a induction cook top soon and bought this knowing they would work on induction. |

An important deadline is approaching for Lancaster County taxpayers – the closing of the county's 2013 tax books, which takes place on March 17.
This is an important step in the annual fiscal budgeting process for Lancaster County government, as it allows those who serve on County Council, the school board and town and city councils to determine how much tax revenue they will have to work with as they work to finish their 2014-15 budgets.
The Mattamy Homes proposal for a residential development on the TreeTops site on Van Wyck Road is expected to come before Lancaster County Council at 6:30 p.m. Monday, March 10, in the County Administration Building, 101 N. Main St.
Eagle Rock Camp, an organization dedicated to helping the families of service members with service-related difficulties through a camping experience, is looking for a new home and has shown an interest in the TreeTops site.
The members of McDonald Green Fire Department and the Ladies Auxiliary would like to thank everyone in Lancaster County, who supported our annual barbecue on Saturday, March 1.
It's a good time to visit your local fire station and meet your volunteers.
We hope you enjoyed it and will continue to support us and other fire departments in the future.
Butch Ghent
McDonald Green Fire Department chief
I appreciate the hard work that U.S. Rep. Mick Mulvaney provides in Washington on behalf of the citizens of South Carolina and I believe that he is earnest in his views of what it takes to be successful in today's world.
However, I take exception with some of his views in his recent column in the Feb. 9 edition of The Lancaster News, "Why people don't like politicians."
Now Winthrop University is thinking about adding football to their course offerings.
Why in heaven's name do the taxpayers of South Carolina need another football program?
I realize Winthrop has the stigma of being labeled a girls school, but wouldn't a college dedicated to education serve us better?
Adding new facilities, coaching staff, scholarships and conference membership during difficult times just doesn't seem a wise choice.

A recent issue of Time magazine cites several reasons for vegetarians living longer. The article was prompted by a report in American Medical Association's Internal Medicine that a vegetarian diet lowers blood pressure, a key factor in risk of heart failure and stroke.
I have been following Indian Land Warriors sports since the late 1960s.
The Feb. 26 boys basketball game was the most exciting game I've ever seen.
Tied with 5 seconds to play, the Warriors got a good call and scored as time ran off the clock.
I was disappointed the athletic director and police attempted to keep the students off the court to celebrate, but it was still very exciting.
I told some folks what potential newcomers, visitors, etc. have asked me through the years: 'What's the best thing about Lancaster? Why should I want to move there?'
It has been my privilege to tell them many positive aspects about our community, but I always conclude by telling these inquirers that it's our people, our citizens who are so special. They are caring, thoughtful, friendly people, who volunteer and assist, and who will welcome them warmly.
