News Tribune Attic: See what was making news along London Road in 1961
Take a look back at the 1961 grand opening of Lakehead Service Center on London Road.By: Andrew Krueger, Duluth News Tribune
Lakehead Service Center, 1961
October 31, 1961
Lakehead Service Center, 1530 London Road (News-Tribune file photo)
The Lakehead Service Center opened in 1961 on London Road in Duluth's Endion neighborhood. After remodeling, additions and a name change, it's still there today, operating as London Road Car Wash. Cars exiting the car wash today still use the original exit, as seen in these photos.
This photo is undated, but it may be from a couple years after it opened:
Here is an article that previewed the opening of the service center, from July 28, 1961:
By Garth Germond, Duluth Herald staff writer
Mayor E. Clifford Mork and Robert B. Morris, Duluth Chamber of Commerce executive secretary, will take part in a ribbon-cutting ceremony to mark the opening of the new Lakehead Service Center Saturday.
George Finch, president of Lakehead Service Co., and William Soules, vice president and general manager, say their new center - located at 16th Avenue East and London Road - is the first of its kind in the state.
They describe it as a "supermarket" for auto owners, offering complete mechanical repairs and maintenance, gas and oil service and a high speed car wash. The car wash will be opened next week.
Soules says that the car wash will employ a variety of new-type automatic equipment. It will use a mild detergent under high pressure to watch cars; a 10-horsepower vacuum cleaner to clean interiors; and a 120-horsepower blower for fast drying.
The center occupies about a half-block of space. Its white-painted concrete-block buildings were erected by United General Constructors, Inc. C. Everett Thorsen was the architect and Elmer M. Peterson the consulting engineer.
Soules and Finch announced appointment of Donald E. Anderson, former operator of the Highland Service Center, as head of their repair department, and Leonard Sathers, a veteran Duluth gasoline service station operator, as service manager. Pure Oil Co. products will be featured.

Here are a few close-ups from the first photo:

Whether a beginner or an expert orchid grower, you will find membership in the American Orchid Society a truly rewarding experience. You'll join over 16,000 others worldwide who share a passion for orchids, as well as furthering conservation and research efforts for these wondrous plants. Join the AOS now Click here
Judging Orchids I am becoming interested in my orchid hobby and would like some information about judging. Some of the shows I visit have not been judged and at others hobbyists have brought their plants for evaluation. I wonder whether you must be a member of the society that is sponsoring the show or if you have to be a member of the AOS to get your plants judged. Presumably there is a set of guidelines? - Matteo Sands
Anyone can enter a plant for AOS judging at an AOS-judged show or at the monthly judging sessions held at various locations, which are listed here on this website. The only requirement is that exhibitors agree to pay the appropriate award fees in a timely manner if their plants are fortunate enough to receive an award. Most societies welcome entries from anyone for their shows, providing the plants are free of disease and in place by the closing time for entries. Some societies may have special trophies or prizes restricted to members only but this is not common. At shows like your local Santa Barbara one each spring, there is no host society as such and all exhibitors are eligible for all trophies. Get involved with a local orchid group; seeing the show scene from the inside out is much more rewarding and you will benefit from the advice and fellowship. The guidelines and point scales for AOS judging are outined in the AOS Handbook on Judging and Exhibition. Information is also available right here and elsewhere on the website. If you are a member of the AOS, your April issue of Orchids is devoted to awards and judging and features an inside look at a regional judging session. - Greg Allikas

Twelfth Night
Through June 16, Hartford Stage, 50 Church St., Hartford, (860) 527-5151, hartfordstage.org
Eye candy alert! Hartford Stage's production of one of Shakespeare's most accessible comedies, Twelfth Night, is saturated with color and overflowing with scrumptious stage pictures. The set is really the star of the show — especially as exploited by director Darko Tresnjak and his ensemble of lively, well-spoken actors. The payoff is a show that's as lucid as Shakespeare has ever been and as much fun.
Imagine an astroturf labyrinth some four feet deep, suggestive of formal garden hedges, with cute little Japanese bridges and gaps that can be stepped across or leapt or fallen into or used to hide a considerable population. Alexander Dodge dreamed up this theatrical contraption. He's not afraid of color, and the shocking green pops against a glowing backdrop that suggests ocean and sky.
The story centers on Viola, shipwrecked in Illyria at the top of the show. She believes her twin brother Sebastian drowned when their ship went down. Grief-stricken and mindful of her own safety, she assumes disguise as a young man and puts herself in service of the local Duke, who is lovesick for the Countess Olivia, in mourning for a recently deceased brother of her own. Duke Orsino presses his new page into service to woo Olivia on his behalf, with results he comes to rue. Meanwhile, there's an insurrection in Olivia's household, where Sir Toby Belch and his sidekick Sir Andrew Aguecheek carouse and abet servants who conspire against the spoilsport, Malvolio.
Kate MacCluggage plays Viola, disguised as Cesario, and is both credible and sympathetic. Olivia, played by Stacey Yen, is a tiny person who can be wholly overtaken by her feelings. Lea Coco plays Orsino as a narcissistic fop, which works just fine. Michael Spencer-Davis and Adam Green pair up as the drunken Sir Toby and the foolish Sir Andrew, whose multiple sporty getups are a hoot. Jennifer Regan as Maria is the mastermind behind Malvolio's humiliation, and this production suggests she has reasons based in legitimate fear of his violent potential. Special notice must go to Bruce Turk as the severe Malvolio. He's a fearless physical performer who essentially levitates in the effort to produce a smile for the first time, and who, once caught in the trap of his own ambitious fantasies, writhes with such sexual abandon that some teenagers I took to the show were appalled.
The lengthy prank played on Malvolio takes on the feel of a whack-a-mole game, as actors slide along the pathways, popping up and down to avoid his gaze. The set offers many opportunities for such theatrical gold. Hartford Stage subscribers will remember that this season began with a desperate woman lying on a black grand piano in the opening image of Hedda Gabler; this last show of the season bookends this image, beginning with a desperate man reclined on a white grand piano.
Orsino's first line is "If music be the food of love, play on." Most of the music in the show falls to Feste, the jester, played here by Che Ayende as an all-seeing outsider who sings freely, and often a cappella, making the songs less into set pieces than his improvised commentary on the action.
Twelfth Night is one of Shakespeare's masterpieces, great fun but shot through with meditations on melancholy and meanness. This is a masterful, gorgeous production, often elegant and sometimes tacky, but always visual and easy on the ear.

Kerry's background as a massage therapist was the starting point for her yoga journey - her fascination with functional anatomy was fuelled by the beauty, strength and grace of the postures and she was thrilled to find a way to offer her clients a more comprehensive approach to long term spinal care and core stability issues (and fix her own back in the process!)
What she didn't expect was to fall in love with a practice that would change
her life.
Peace, self acceptance, balance and contentment came hand in hand with strength, fitness and flexibility. Kerry continues to take workshops with international teachers whenever possible to build and deepen her knowledge and explore the complexities of a practice that dates back many thousands of years.
Her goal is to share the amazing gift of yoga with as many others as she can. She is an ambassador for Lululemon Camberwell. She assesses and provides feedback for course work and conducts training workshops in specialist areas for teachers and trainees at the Australian College of Classical Yoga.
Kerry is raising two beautiful daughters, and in her time off the mat, she indulges her passion for vegetarian food, sharing recipes on her site salivate... She grows as many of her own vegetables as she can, (supports farmers markets for those she can't), is trying her hand at making (rudimentary) cheese and is considering raising some chickens. She belongs to a local food swap and is angling for space at the local community gardens. She loves catering for yoga retreats and, finally caving in to pressure, is planning some basic vegetarian cooking classes for those keen to explore a kinder way of eating.
Koru Yoga forms the basis of a dream to provide a place where the local community can come and share any or all of these things.
Come and join her at Koru.

It could be as simple as everybody ordering the same kind of plastic cup or artificial hip implant. It could be as complex as eliminating a department or merging with a chain of hospitals.
Whatever saves — or makes — a hospital money.
Methodist Health System, Nebraska Medical Center and Alegent Creighton Health officials say they are on the hunt for savings, efficiencies, income sources and cuts for their 11 hospitals in the Omaha area. The goal is to reduce budgets by 10 to 15 percent. In the case of the Nebraska Medical Center, 10 percent would be about $100 million.
Short term, the Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare, constrains the growth of Medicare payments and cuts what the federal government gives hospitals that serve a disproportionate share of poor patients. Automatic spending cuts tied to the sequestration process reduce Medicare payments to hospitals by 2 percent.
Long term, hospital system reviews and budget-cutting are here to stay, said Dr. Bradley Britigan, dean of the University of Nebraska Medical Center's College of Medicine.
"Frankly," he said, "Obamacare could go away tomorrow and it wouldn't make much difference in that many of the changes we're talking about are being driven as much by the private health insurance industry as by Medicare and Medicaid."
Hospitals, he said, are hearing from insurers who are being told by business leaders that "we can't continue to afford double-digit increases in premiums every year."
Alegent Creighton officials already have announced that they will close the inpatient obstetrics unit at Papillion's Midlands Hospital this fall, and last month described a process they will use over the next few months to evaluate how to configure services at a time when the area has too many hospital beds.
Alegent Creighton officials are looking for a 10 percent budget reduction over the next few years.
Richard Hachten, Alegent Creighton's chief executive officer, said that in developing the system's budget for the next fiscal year, "we faced the largest financial challenge in our history. Things are only going to get more difficult in future years."
Bill Dinsmoor, the Nebraska Medical Center's chief financial officer, said the $100 million targeted by his system is approximately the difference between what the hospital and its related operations get paid for Medicare and what it costs to provide the care. Finding the savings, he said, "doesn't have to happen today. But that's probably the journey we have to be on."
The hospital has brought in business consultant Deloitte LLP to help identify what is and isn't working and share ideas that have helped other hospitals around the country.
Since personnel costs make up the biggest expense for most businesses, it seems logical that job cuts would be part of the mix.
But Dinsmoor said, "We do not honestly know what the impact will be on jobs. It is possible that there will be an impact, but we don't know for sure. One change that's possible as health care transitions from 'sick care' to prevention is to see shortages in some types of health care jobs. People who have historically been in one type of health care position may be needed in another area."
Officials at the nonprofit hospital systems describe the work they're doing by referring to corporate waste-reducing managerial concepts such as Lean Six Sigma, business models for managing integrated systems like the Baldrige framework and payment methodologies such as value-based purchasing.
Methodist Health System officials and staff meet regularly to identify practices that waste money or time, said Sue Korth, vice president and chief operating officer of Methodist Women's Hospital.
"We always have the bedside caregiver (participate) as part of that process," Korth said. "We have to specifically look at how do we help the nursing staff work more efficiently so they can do more in less time."
The process, she said, is one of "continuous improvement. It's about getting the right product at the right time in the right place for the user."
Eliminating waste, she said, could mean eliminating extra steps. If, for example, a nurse needs materials or equipment for a process or procedure that must be performed on a patient, she said, evaluators determine whether the material or equipment could be stored closer to the patient's bedside.
Methodist Health System employees can submit money-�saving ideas online that are reviewed by a committee. More than 100 have been implemented in the 1� years the process has been in place, officials said.
Hospitals need to be as efficient as they can be, Korth said. "The length of stay is going down. We are going to get less reimbursement. Therefore, we would want to have less cost on the inpatient and outpatient sides."
Methodist is looking to cut its budget by 15 percent.
Methodist's "value-analysis" meetings have produced savings ranging from hundreds of dollars to $1 million, said Jim Koraleski, Methodist Health System's logistics director.
The $1 million savings, he said, came from renegotiating a contract for orthopedic implants. With help from physicians, he said, the health system was able to commit to buying a large percentage of equipment from just two vendors, who agreed to lower the price on all of their orthopedic implants.
Hospitals account for a third of the health care dollar, the American Hospital Association says. Spending on hospital care has grown more slowly than spending on other health services, the group says, as hospitals have tried to make care more effective and efficient.
Still, hospital spending increased 4.3 percent to $850.6�billion in 2011, the most recent figures available, according to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. That compares with 4.9 percent growth in 2010.
Some of the cost-cutting efforts aren't new, but Caroline Steinberg, vice president of trends analysis for the American Hospital Association, said, "I think a lot of the low-hanging fruit has been taken out of the system. It will be increasingly difficult to meet the productivity increases in the Affordable Care Act and all the other cuts that are facing hospitals."
(The law requires hospitals to increase their productivity at the same rate as the rest of private industry. If they don't, their Medicare payments will drop.)
Steinberg said she's seeing hospital systems across the country that have multiple operations in the same city or region shifting people around and choosing to merge with other hospitals or become part of a chain so they can save money through purchasing in large quantities.
In addition to the purchasing power that its health system, Banner Health, can provide, Ogallala Community Hospital benefits from Banner Health's electronic medical records system, hospital CEO Sharon Lind said.
The records system, she said, has helped reduce patients' average length of stay, pharmacy costs and adverse drug reactions by allowing providers throughout the system to see what medications patients are using or have used.
In general, hospitals evaluate how patients progress through their care, from emergency room to inpatient room to discharge, and try to improve the experience so that the flow is more efficient, Steinberg said. The goal, she said, is to reduce the time a patient spends in the hospital.
Some of the process improvements, she said, "actually increase revenue, which is another way of dealing with the cuts in reimbursement."
Steinberg said that creating a fast track for urgent-care needs in the emergency room has become a common strategy for improving patient flow through the ER, allowing hospitals to accommodate — and bill — more patients. Process improvements that reduce a person's length of stay, she added, can free up beds for other patients.
Job growth in U.S. hospitals is down sharply this year, Steinberg said — according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the seasonally adjusted, year-to-date growth in that sector was 7,400 jobs, compared with 44,500 for the same period last year.
"Usually, (hospitals) take the staffing out of administrative departments," she said. "Then they start looking at programs that are losing money. So they may choose to no longer offer psychiatric care or they may no longer offer skilled nursing care or home health or something."
Some hospitals are shifting workers' hours or assignments, said Deborah Bowen, president and CEO of the American College of Healthcare Executives. "Some are using people in different ways … maybe looking at outsourcing differently.
"It's not just about eliminating mass quantities of people. It's really about managing the costs and the labor resources in ways that help the hospital do what it's trying to do."
Not everything being considered for savings will be noticed by patients.
By choosing one vendor to supply trash bags, Methodist's Koraleski said, the system was able to save more than $10,000 a year, based on the quantity that's ordered. "Standardization also eliminates carrying multiple companies' products in our supply rooms," he said.
Methodist always has focused on cost management, said Linda Burt, Methodist's chief financial officer, "but the value-analysis program has refined our ability to use data to identify and act on opportunities."

Warner: Trading for Alex Smith wouldn't 'cost that much'
The San Francisco 49ers may have plenty of suitors for quarterback Alex Smith this offseason, with the Arizona Cardinals possibly joining the mix.
Smith, who has become expendable to the 49ers after the emergence of second-year signal caller Colin Kaepernick, could be an ideal fit for a Cardinals team that still lacks an impact quarterback.
Former Cardinals QB and NFL Network analyst Kurt Warner told Arizona Sports 620's Burns and Gambo Monday he thinks Smith can be had at a reasonable price.
"First of all, I think San Francisco as a gesture to him is going to let him go. So I don't think it's going to cost that much," Warner said. "I think a three or a four [draft pick] would be my guess on what you had to give up to get him. So I don't think the cost is too high for a guy that can win at this level and shows what he brings to the table."
Smith has suffered his fair share of ups and downs, posting a 19-31 record over his first five seasons in the league. But he appeared to turn a corner last year, en route to a 19-5-1 record.
In 2012, Smith seemed in position to lead the 49ers for the foreseeable future, before a concussion derailed one of the best seasons of his career.
San Francisco then went on to post a 7-2 record with the dynamic Kaepernick at the helm before losing in the Super Bowl.
Smith's future is now up in the air, but he stands to be a popular target in trade talks this offseason. While the Cardinals seem like a logical fit for the 28-year-old quarterback, Warner said it's important for Smith to find a system that plays to his strengths.
"I think that's going to be the key for Alex Smith and whoever brings him in is make sure what you're going to do and how your team is built fits Alex Smith and if you're Alex Smith try to do the same thing," Warner said.

A poison pen
| Jul 5, 2008
Reading "The Selected Essays of Gore Vidal" is like watching a cobra devour forest vermin. Even if you don't have much feeling for the prey, you may pause at the thought of what might happen if the monster turned its attention on you.
Not that Vidal...

Very confused with this logic lol. You can still unlock to your spring board, or you can unlock to go into a favorite app that maybe you use often, this saving the time from unlocking then going to the app and tapping it.Does this change the amount of time before screen locks on the lockscreen? Why can't you tap one of the icons to open it rather than dragging the circle? I will not be getting this, because what I could access in 1 swipe (the entire home screen), I would be only getting a limited version (the 6 icons) and it would take another gesture to get to the lockscreen. Common sense could help make this tweak better, but it's a nice concept.
And maybe you just don't under stand how it works. The second you touch the "atom" it reveals and unlock AND short cuts. So as soon as you touch you just swipe to what you want to do.
I really like this. Worth the money.
btw I installed it and don't have any any issues with it making the unlock sound while on silent. If that's the issue others were having, maybe it's been fixed?
Works fine with subtlelock. Nice tweak but it's too much like jellylock which is free.
What lock sound issue is everyone talking about? I don't have any sound when my phone is on silent and do when it's not
What makes this different from jelly lock which looks great on my ls.
only thing is that you cant turn off the lock sounds without putting the device on silent
I have a few issues with it. It'd be nice to have the messages app go to the bitesms quick compose instead of opening the app itself. There's a gap of space on lockinfo where lockinfo ends and the lock button starts. Just an aesthetic thing, but it'd make it look smoother. Also it'd be nice if there were badges for new mail/messages/phone calls as well.
Still nice tweak.
People are talking about turning off the lock sound while in ringer mode. You can do this in stock iOS since iOS 1.0.
Doesn't seem to work with androidlockXT. Had to boot into safe mode to uninstall it. Turned off androidlockXT and reinstalled and it worked.
It's awesome, just got it apple should Definitely have this!!!! 😱😄
I've noticed that too. I hope it gets integrated in the next update.
Doesn't work with AndroidLock XT and can't be configed to open BiteSMS Quick Compose, then it's def a no go for me. Nice tweak though. Would also need it to allow Weather Widget to show.
Amazing, camera needs to open without passcode, bugs with notifications. Other than that, spot on. Works with forecast.
What about battery life with this tweak? Jellylock on my i5 kinda was draining it...
How does a lock screen like that drain ya battery? I have jelly lock and haven't noticed anything on mine.
Works great, the only thing that I don't like is that there is a distinctive shade difference between Lockinfo and Atom...

This month has flown by! I changed jobs, Nick is graduating soon, and we are looking for a new place to live so things are becoming more and more hectic each day. Plus with the trees blooming already it seems like everything is so new and fresh! I'm feeling inspired daily so I thought I'd share another round of The Cat's Meow: A Collection of Things to Purr Over so you can peak at all the neat things I've been enjoying lately!
1. These Baked Typefaces are so lovely!
2. This Love Balloon Pillow is simple, easy, and effective!
3. This vintage book is so swoon worthy!
4. This jump roping poodle cracks me up!
5. These extremely relatable comics by Bikeyface are really something special. (I may or may not have read through every single one when I discovered her site because they are all that good . . . )
6. This Peach Cake looks so perfect right now!
7. I can hardly ever find bracelets I like but I am absolutely head over heels for this Saturn Charm Bracelet
8. It's getting so warm out I can barely stand the thought of biking with a backpack. I have been keeping an eye out for the perfect saddle bag but I think I might have to make my own by mashing these two ideas together.
9. This cat eating pizza is the best
10. I am always begging my former roommate and best friend Tyler Walker (also known as Meth Dad, also known as the founder of the music/bike festival Tour de Fun) for new music. He started Stay Magical Mixtapes to put out monthly free playlists on and I just can't stop listening to the first one. Click the album to download!
I've got peaches+soygurt to eat, letters to write, bikes to ride in 80* weather, and cupcakes to recipe test. What's making you smile lately?

To most people, this is just an eclectic collection of sentences. To me, it's the headlines of some of my best work for FlipSide.
For four years, FlipSide was my way of expressing myself. I loved sitting at the computer, typing an article and having it published in FlipSide.
It's been five years since those days. I have gone on to do many things, none of which have involved journalism. Still, the skills I learned and refined with FlipSide have influenced every aspect of my life and current career path.
Through my articles, I honed the writing skills that have been necessary for essentially everything I do. These skills have aided me in English, music history and research classes, as well as with the writing of numerous technical computer science documents.
FlipSide also taught me the importance of hard work. During my time as a reporter, I had to work hard to get stories done. Not every story was easy; sometimes I had to dig deep to get the scoop. Being on FlipSide, I learned the value of working hard to see something through from start to finish, which is a skill that has helped me in everything I have done since then.
Finally, FlipSide taught me the importance of doing everything to the best of my ability. I wanted every article I wrote to be my best. I wanted others to read it and connect with what I was saying. This is one of the most important things I learned through FlipSide, and it is definitely something I have benefited from in the long run -- not only in school and work, but in every aspect of my life.
While I may not have pursued a journalism career, FlipSide truly influenced my life and taught me valuable skills. I am thankful for the opportunity it provided me during high school and the great mentorship editors Marina Hendricks and Amy Robinson provided me.
Mary Heath graduated from George Washington High School in 2006. In August, she will begin work as a technical consultant for CGI Group Inc. and launch U.S. movements of the Crescendo Fine Arts Ministry with Campus Crusade for Christ.

3 years of 24/7 and that's allPros: Excellent night video, incredible day video, varifocal, sensitive, stable Cons: Died after 3 years of 24/7 work Did you find this review helpful? |
Not so goodPros: Hmmm, not many pros with this camera. I find it hard to understand the raves for this camera. I suppose the daytime performance is OK, but otherwise, it's just bad. Wish I could return it, but I can't Cons: Night time performance is horrible. The cheaper Aposonic is decent, but is a wide angle camera. In night-vision, this camera has a halo artifact that is distracting, but the picture is SO bad, it just a waste. Other Thoughts: Look elsewhere, maybe the LTS varifocal. 1 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
AwesomePros: It does what it says it does and does it great for the cheap price Cons: NONE 0 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
As good as it getsPros: The Aposonic A-CDBI02 Infrared Color Camera produces excellent quality video on the darkest of nights. I have several on my estate to capture day and night activity that I previously was not aware was happening. I have them set on motion activation so I have less video to review. The most useful are the cameras on the drive coming to my home. Other useful places have been my vehicle parking area and circle drive. I have a cameras on both the front and back entrances to my home. We feel much safer being able to look at the computer screen and know we have guest rather than waiting for them to ring the door bell. Cons: None that I have found. Other Thoughts: They are a bit pricey but you get what you pay for and these cameras do an excellent job monitoring our property day and night whether we are in town or out of town. Be sure you mount the cameras high so they are out of reach to individuals. We use the balcony, garage gables, and trees for ours. 1 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Good affordable camera even for the home userPros: Pretty good toy. Very sensitive. Good focus. Low noise. Good to have for a home surveillance system. Cons: Too bright light in the center of the image, shoots far enough for my needs. If the car that you're tracking is located in the center of the view, it will be overexposed. Has darker spots around the center. Doesn't have microphone that could be used as an additional signal channel as well as for the tracking of the noise around, especially if it's outside the visible area at night. That's why I have to keep a cheap $40 camera with the weird optics, terrible noise, especially at night, but very good sensitive microphone. This extra one occupies one more channel and uses one more cable. Very inconvenient. I'd rather buy one more if it has a microphone. So the company makes a mistake, it could sel more cameras even to me! :) Other Thoughts: Could come with the cable, but not critical since my local F/El has these 50' BNC + Power cables for $13, good deal! I was also surprised that the power suply is more or less standard for all these Sony sensor based cameras - 12V 500mA. This particular one uses 100 mA only, pretty good. 0 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
clearer up closePros: There is no need to adjust the focus, easy set up, great price. If you only need to watch over a standard driveway (just big enough for two cars) this is what you want. It has a clear vivid colors during day, and can make out faces within a dozen feet. looks great, makes me feel a little better knowing that next time my car gets prowled i'll have it on dvr. Cons: The leds are not directed like the $79 Other Thoughts: I only gave it four out of five (80% or a B-) because the camera does not have the range that is boasted. overlooking that. This is a great simple camera! i have subjected it to freezing rain and sub freezing temps for weeks on end and it's performance has not changed at all. glare from the ir's and direct sunlight on the lens are the only annoyances. and thats why i feel that if you want a simple ready to go camera this is it. If you want more focused (flood light like) ir leds and dont mind the hassle of manual focus and zoom get the cheaper LTS. it looks better and hides the wires. but it will take more time and a friend with a cell phone to call back and forth with to get the settings right. 3 out of 3 people found this review helpful.

Nice camera for its price!Pros: The housing and mount are very solid. It comes in handy when I wanted to install them indoors and outdoors. Cons: It's really hard to write a review for any IR cameras under $150 without any negative comment. Other Thoughts: For a camera that only cost $100, it provides me with clear image and easy installation. I have no complaints so far. 2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? |

cancer tumors in dogs
My elderly beagle developed an enormous tumor behind and under her right front leg—-practically overnight. It is about 5″ x 6″!
Verified as cancer, one vet told us to keep her comfortable and dispensed lasix and prednisone. Another vet said he thought it was attached to the rib cage and he could probably remove it but, of course, with no guarantees.
Our human family has personal experience (happily, a successful one) with hemp oil. We are willing to give it a try with Dorothy. We think she is about 12 years old (we found her in the road in the woods where we live – someone had "dumped" her). We love her and will do whatever we can to help her.
We are unsure about "dosage", frequency, oral or topical, etc. Can you provide us with some guidance?

Airlines losing 3000 bags - every hour of every day
SITA breaks down the reasons behind bags not arriving at their destination:
- During aircraft transfers - 52%
- Failed to load - 16%
- Ticketing error / bag switch / security / other - 13%
- Airport / customs / weather / space-weight restriction - 6%
- Loading / offloading error - 7%
- Arrival station mishandling - 3%
- Tagging error - 3%
Bottom line is that airlines are investing heavily in luggage management, and even though they may never reach a perfect score, the current trend is very positive one - and one that will benefit everyone that checks bags. Of course, as luggage fees have started increasing, it is also refreshing to see that airlines are actually doing something with all that new money.
Don't forget to follow our tips on keeping your luggage safe at the airport!

I had a great bag experience in Singapore last month. Cathay Pacific knew that one of our bags was delayed before we even landed. When we got off the plane, there was a gate attendant with our name looking for us. She told us that our bag was delayed, got the name and address of our hotel in Singapore and guaranteed the bag before 6:00 pm that evening. Now that's service.

In February I flew to Malaysia. After collecting many wonderful gifts and souvenirs all with memories I flew back to United States. I flew back from Hong Kong on Cathay Pacific and transferred in San Francisco to United Airline and had both of my checked luggage during the transfer in hand. After arriving in Akron, Ohio I went to pick up my luggage to find one missing. Of course it was the one with all the gifts. After calling endless hours to a 1-800 number to India I am at this point convinced my luggage is missing. I am told after 60 days, United will make some type of settlement. A word to the wise, don't put anything in a checked bag you would expect to be return to you. And United if you are reading this comment, please find my luggage, or pay me $1300 in airfare to return to Malaysia to collect my memories again.

My business had me flying world wide every 2-3 weeks for 3.5 years. The ONLY baggage problem I ever encountered was on a UAL flight from Miami to Bolivia.
I had one hard piece with a piano hinge all the way across the back, and tongue-in-groove sides and front and a hinged lock. The piece was used to carry heavy yet fragile equipment. Before I bought the piece I tossed it around, stood and jumped on it. I'm 200 pounds. I never made a dent in it.
When I recovered it in Bolivia the hinge was pushed in about 1/2 inch. I took it as rough handling, repaired it, and went about my business.
My return flight terminated at ONT via MIA and LAX. I had to pick up my luggage at Miami to go thru customs. Nothing wrong with it then. Recheck it for the flight from MIA to LAX. I saw it being delivered to the puddle jumper at LAX for the leg to ONT, and it seemed to be in good condition, even though the female baggage handler at LAX picked it up and gave it a healthy fling in the general direction of the other bags being loaded. It landed on a soft side suit case, and definitely made a dent in that bag.
When I recovered my belongings at ONT this solid piece, the one I'd bounced my 200 pounds on, had one side pried open more than one inch. The tongue and groove clearly showed scrape marks where it had been pried open. I carried it to the agent and reported the obvious attempt to get at the contents, and she gave me a form and said, and this is a quote I remember as if it were yesterday! She said, "Fill out this form and mail it to the address on the bottom. We'll investigate and see how many times you pulled this before."
I called corporate, told our travel agent I would no longer fly United Air Lines and she should give me a few minutes to confer with my supervisor, the she could call him and verify. I then called my super, explained the situation, and told him if the only way for me to get to an assignment was on United Airlines I'd refuse the assignment. The equipment I carried was owned by the company and they'd have to repair or replace it, but while that was being done I'd be stuck somewhere twiddling my thumbs, and there was a 50/50 chance that it would be a place with bad water, bad food, foul weather, and people not friendly to the US.
I've been retired for about 7 years now, I still enjoy a lot of travel, both in the US and out, and I still will not fly United.

What I don't understand is why the airlines don't poach people from UPS or FedEx and offer them a bunch of money to streamline and improve their baggage handling systems. You look at the number of packages that UPS deals with around the holiday season and the mind-boggling array of vehicle transfers and routing instructions and they put the airlines to shame. If the baggage were treated like packages in the UPS or FedEx systems it is highly likely they would get to where they're going.

If you have ever flown to Italy and lost any luggage, it is in the Venice airport. They have a couple of rooms the size of football fields that are filled with American luggage. But not just luggage, I seen kayaks, golf clubs, baby strollers, guitar cases, musical instrument cases, other hard cases, backpacks, snow skis, snowboards, etc. I was amazed that all of these things were tagged with American origination and that it was never returned to the rightful owner.
Joan Ayling Mar 28th 2010 10:26PM
We had a horrible experience of a bag being taken by another passenger. My brother who is mentally handicapped moved from MI to CA and someone stole one of his bags. He had a suit, his shaver plus many pants, shirts, etc. The airline offered us 1 cent on every 10 dollars worth of clothing replacement cost. They said since I didn't have receipts for the clothes in the suitcase they couldn't honor the replacement costs. If I did have receipts they would probablu discount the cost for replacement due to the face of depreciation.
mellors Mar 28th 2010 10:32PM
in this day of increasing security issues, and the t.s.a.'s input into our travel lives, how can even one bag go missing.?? can anyone in the airline security business comprehend the security issues involved in the loss of all of this luggage. to hell with your presents and your souvenirs.. what about our lives..? imbeciles
dja3117 Mar 28th 2010 10:49PM
A lot of the lost luggage ends up at the Unclaimed Baggage Center in Alabama, which purchases lost and unclaimed bags from the airlines, then re-sells their contents. Read more: http://failuremag.com/index.php/feature/article/luggage_lost_..._and_found/#ixzz0jWuqlPjx

Just because a bag is delayed doesn't mean it's lost. If you have put ID inside the bag as well as tagged the handle, then it can be tracked and located.
American Airlines has always done well for me with luggage. Since my mother lives in an out of the way town serviced by a regional airport, I have to fly around the country making connections in order to get to my hometown. Most of the time, my luggage gets to where I am going at the same time as I do. One notable exception was when my Chicago to CA connector allowed for only a brief layover. I made my plane; my luggage did not. However, AA told me when I landed in LAX that my bags would be on the next available flight, which was the next morning. The clerk had my bags sent to me at my home the next morning.
Conversely, on another trip, my Dallas layover was rather long. My bags got to my destination before I did. I was paged...and the bags were under supervision and my ID was checked when I picked them up.
Bravo, American Airlines. It's why I fly you.
Most cases of lost luggage is when bags are not ID'd properly or people pick up the wrong bag (a lookalike) in error.
The River Rat Mar 29th 2010 1:55AM
Aren't these baggage handlers union employees? Maybe that has something to do with it.
Smith008 Mar 29th 2010 2:05AM
Next time you're at the Philly airport take a look outside and you'll see why so many bags don't make flights. "Job Security", yeah dey aint stupit
pete Mar 29th 2010 11:48AM
Any of you think you can do it better, come on down!
I'll bet 99% of you have never worked in the rain, snow, and wind at -5 degrees, or in 100+ degree heat. Add to that the pressure of getting bags from terminal one to terminal 101 in the time between flights, stops for the 100-200 other filghts that DO get their bags, and the danger of looking one way to ensure you are clear only to be sucked up in the intake of a plane coming from the other direction.
Yet you feel you have to make the longest flight in the shortest time, and you are SOO rushed at the airport. Ya bunch o whiny azzed dummies! Try giving yourself an hour between flights, or better yet, a full day, and you'll never miss another bag.

Andrea Cohen Mar 29th 2010 3:12AM
TWA once lost my dog that was in a huge kennel. When I got on the fist flight I asked the flight attendant and the pilot if my dog was on the plane. They gave me the thumbs up. When I got to St. Louis, they couldn't find her. Dogs have to put in a kennel that they can move and turn. her kennel was huge. How could they lose her? They told me she never made it to St Louis and theywould deliver her to me liek they do luggage. She is not luggage. As we were taxiing away, they finally found her and stopped the plane to allow her on. It was the best day of my life. I hate that they charge for luggage now. I try to fly Southwest and I try to fly direct to my destinations, but that seldom happens. I jsut pray my luggaage gets to where I am going. I try to take souvineers on with me, but I had a snowglobe and they said It could go under the plane, not on it with me. Then they wanted to charge me to put my luggage under the plane. I told them they were out of their mind besides I was coming international and luggage is free. With the add on fees of luggage, they need to take care of our luggage. Some things can be irreplaceable.
Henrik Mar 29th 2010 10:11AM
"decrease lost bag numbers by 23.8%" is not due to a better service, but probably due to the fact that less luggages is checked in because of the extra charges...
I like to travel as light as possible trying to have only a carry on
Naesen Mar 30th 2010 3:45PM
"Bags that never arrive are often simply abandoned by their owners, or fall victim to theft at the airport. After six months, all unclaimed bags are donated, sold or destroyed."
What? So here's how it goes: I pay them to be responsible for my bag. I follow the procedures that they set down for me to recover my bag. After waiting an obnoxious amount of time, I see that people 10 or 11 flights after mine have successfully retrieved their bags. I leave the Airport (after filing the lost baggage reports, etc.) and it just "happens" to show up (for whatever reason). And this is to say the airline is not responsible for contacting you that they have located your bag and belongings and is holding it for you to pick up? I pay them to be responsible for my belongings in their possession, but not contacting the owners of the bags and instead letting them sit in storage for six months before donating them to charities (where the owners could never know if the airline has their bag or not) is not only horrible business practice and irresponsible, but also seems like they are going against the service agreement you agreed to when you checked your bag with them.
Paul Johnson Mar 29th 2010 2:32PM
It simply won't be competitive until the airlines can reach Amtrak's 99.999% baggage handling success rate. I'm a little surprised Amtrak doesn't tout this more.
michael Mar 30th 2010 5:42PM
Where does this Amtrak figure come from? Do you have a source? All the times I have taken Amtrak, i have had to carry my own bag or bags. Even huge ones. And store them in a big wall compartment at the front or back of the car, and get them myself. So they can't loose a bag, if they aren't handling it. And for connection son Amtrak, I have had to carry my bag myself from train to train. So again, how does Amtrak loose it? they are never responsible for it to begin with.

Home Movies: 'Angels & Demons' a Biblical Bore
Rarely before has wordy exposition been employed more excessively and to lesser effect than in Angels & Demons, Ron Howard's middling follow-up to The Da Vinci Code.
For those craving action and suspense, there's little to be found here, despite a whirlwind denouement that sees our hero, Harvard professor and renowned symbologist Robert Langdon (Tom Hanks), racing around Rome in search of an Illuminati killer. (More on that later.) Instead, screenwriters David Koepp and Akiva Goldsman subject us to a heavy-handed history lesson about the Catholic church that owes much to author Dan Brown's tendentiously researched novel.
The good news: Hanks, who made a lasting impression in the first film mostly for his ill-advised mullet, has cut his hair and musters sufficient gravitas to ballast a plot fraught with preposterous twists and turns. While his presence alone doesn't redeem Angels & Demons, Hanks manages to keep the proceedings more grounded than they have any right to be, even as he's forced to regurgitate the stalest of solemn-sounding dialogue.
Fans of Brown's popular mystery novels should be familiar enough with the plot, which Koepp and Goldsman have painstakingly preserved. Summoned to Vatican City to solve the kidnapping of four cardinals, Langdon is thrust onto the trail of a religious-minded psycho who brands his victims with symbols of the Illuminati, a secret organization with a centuries-old vendetta against the church. Making matters worse, there's a canister of antimatter on the loose that threatens to destroy the city and all its storied landmarks.
Those landmarks loom large, not simply because they provide helpful clues to the killer's whereabouts. Moreso than in The Da Vinci Code, Howard seems awed by the city's gothic architecture and the aesthetically rich pageantry of the church, which he captures in exhaustive detail more befitting a travelogue than a murder mystery. Yet for all the movie's impressive cinematography, Brown's puzzles fall uncomfortably flat on screen.
There is plenty of ponderous hemming and hawing about the role of the Vatican in a forward-thinking society, and a host of supporting players (Ewan McGregor, Stellan Skarsgård, Armin Mueller-Stahl) whose intentions remain murky until the big revelation. Despite their capable efforts, Angels & Demons fails to replicate the page-turning intrigue that made Brown's novels so successful, and comes off as a long-winded bore.
EXTRAS include an expanded director's cut and behind-the-scenes documentaries about the difficulties adapting Brown's novel to the screen and the painstaking recreation of Vatican City's most famous attractions. For fans only.

Christo fills former natural gas tank in Germany
Friday - 3/15/2013, 5:36pm  ET
OBERHAUSEN, Germany (AP) -- Artist Christo has unveiled his latest spectacular creation: a balloonlike installation that fills the inside of a former natural gas storage tank in Germany's industrial Ruhr region.
Christo's "Big Air Package," an inflatable envelope made of translucent white polyester, rises 295 feet (90 meters) from the floor of the Gasometer in Oberhausen. It will be open to the public from Saturday through Dec. 30.
Christo's structure is kept upright by air fans. Visitors enter through airlocks. Christo says the effect is to leave visitors "virtually swimming in light."
The tank was converted into an exhibition hall after being taken out of service in 1988.
Christo and his late wife, Jeanne-Claude, in 1999 exhibited a wall made of 13,000 colored oil barrels at the Gasometer.
