William and Michael Dunlop, pictured with their father Robert and brother Daniel, have withdrawn from the Isle of Man TT (Pic: Pacemaker Press)

William Dunlop and his brother Michael have decided to withdraw from the Isle of Man TT races as a mark of respect for their dad Robert who was fatally injured during practice for the North-West 200.
"We will not be going to compete," said William.
"I would doubt if we would even want to be spectators!"
"Anyway now that dad has gone, we have nobody to look after us at the TT."
Speaking from the family home in Ballymoney, 22-year-old William added, "Dad was never keen on us doing the TT, he worried about us even though he had won five-times himself."
"Naturally, we are both considering our future. At the moment road racing is at the back of my mind although I would like to ride again at the North-West as well as the Ulster Grand Prix."
"So far as the smaller races are concerned I doubt if I'll be taking part in any more of them. My mum wants me to forget about racing on the roads."
"There is the possibility that I might have another crack at the 125 class in the British championship. I've been promised a one-off ride with the KPR team on the Honda which my dad should have been using at the North-West."
Robert Dunlop of course was the 125 British champion in 1991.
"I would really love to go racing in Europe," confessed William.
"But it would have to be with a team because I just couldn't fund it myself."
So far as 20-year-old Michael is concerned, his future is unclear.
"My concern right now is to look after my mum," said Michael.
"So far as William is concerned he's one of the best track riders around and I'll help him all I can."

Fells Point/Inner Harbor
Any recommendations for a really good dinner in this area?
Nah, there aren't really any restaurants in those areas.
Just kidding.
A quick search would be helpful as these are probably the two most frequent Baltimore topics on the board. If not, at least add a few criteria to your query...
Or I could just tell you to go to Charleston and be done with it.
The Sip and Bite - just east of fells point - is a Balt landmark, is relatively inexpensive, and has good service to boot. I'm veggie so I often choose a bfast meal. Love the feta/shroom omelette and homefries. Others say the crabcakes are the best around, and at $8 they're a third the cost of most places.
re: snowcroft
nuh uh...
The Sip and Bite is good at about 2:05 am after the bars close and you need a patty melt.
re: snowcroft
They asked for a dinner not a diner.
As Darin said, just about all posts on this page relating to Baltimore are Fells or Inner Harbor.
If you're willing to venture more towards and into Little Italy - OMG there is so much! Three of my favorites there are:
Chiapparelli's (Italian - go fig, in Little Italy?)
James Joyce Pub (Irish)
Chiu's Sushi (Japanese)
Greektown is close to Fells Point and worth the trip for some of Baltimore's best food at reasonable prices at places like Ikaros, Acropolis, Samos etc. Each of these restaurants has their strong suit, Acropolis' basics such as the lamb casserole and calamari are the best that I have ever had anywhere, Ikaros has a wider variety and the best moussaka I have ever had, and Samos includes a decent lettuce-based Greek-American salad with entrees which are a bit more Americanized than Ikaros and Acropolis but quite tasty.
re: elgringoviejo
Acropolis has better calamari than Ikaros? I find that hard to believe.
re: JonParker
Ikaros serves delicious calamari, better than anywhere in Little Italy. The calamari I ate at Acropolis a few months ago had a savory light batter and the squid was tender. IMO it noses out Ikaros.

Book Description:
As a visible marker of globalization, the increased role of travel and tourism in our lives makes it a remarkable force in contemporary culture. Deconstructing Travel provides an easily understood framework of the relationship between travel and culture in our rapidly changing postmodern, postcolonial world. Beginning with an examination of classical expeditions in mythology, history, and literatures, Arthur Asa Berger explores the role of travel in contemporary lives, from university travel-abroad programs to package tours and family vacations. This volume is a highly-engaging look into why people travel, examining travel and tourism as a cultural phenomenon through social, cultural, psychological, and economic forces.

In an innovative approach to HIV prevention, an interdisciplinary group of experts has come together for the first time to lay out a framework of best practices to optimize the role of the clinician in achieving an AIDS-free generation. The guidelines, which will be published online in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), integrate both cutting-edge biomedical advances and evidence-based behavioral interventions for the care of people living with HIV or at high risk for HIV infection.
The recommendations, developed by an expert volunteer panel assembled by the International Antiviral (formerly AIDS) SocietyUSA (IAS-USA), are intended as guidelines for clinicians to implement a combined biomedical-behavioral approach to HIV care and prevention. They are based on a comprehensive review of data that was either published or presented at scientific conferences over the past 17 years.
Among the new recommendations is a call for the use of antiretroviral therapy (ART), which suppresses HIV replication and virtually eliminates the risk of transmitting the virus, for all HIV-infected individuals and as pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) for HIV-uninfected individuals at high risk of infection. The guidelines emphasize the integration of behavioral and social interventionssuch as psychosocial counseling or treatment for drug dependencein health care systems to help individuals living with HIV or at high risk for infection to access and remain in high quality HIV care.
"The tools to prevent HIV infection and disease progression are better than ever, but providers need encouragement and support to integrate best practices in communication and counseling with the biomedical measures that can render patients less- and ideally non-infectious," says Jeanne M. Marrazzo, MD, MPH, professor of medicine at the University of Washington; medical director of the Seattle STD/HIV Prevention Training Center; a co-chair of the IAS-USA panel; and corresponding author of the paper.
According to the recommendations, the availability of combination antiretroviral therapy (ART) has changed the lives of millions of individuals living with HIV, transforming HIV from a fatal infection to a manageable chronic disease. But while the incidence of new HIV-1 infections worldwide has decreased by an estimated 33 percent since 2001, it still remains highapproximately 2.3 million new infections occurred in 2012. In the United States alone, approximately 50,000 new infections occur each yeara number that has remained largely unchanged since the 1990s.
"We are at a time where scientific advances in HIV allow us to effectively implement interventions that could stop HIV transmission," says Carlos del Rio, MD, chair of the Department of Global Health at the Rollins School of Public Health at Emory University, professor of medicine at Emory University School of Medicine, co-director of the Emory Center for AIDS Research, co-chair of the IAS-USA Panel, and a member of the IAS-USA volunteer board of directors. "But the success of both biomedical and behavioral HIV prevention measures depends on clinicians' ability and willingness to implement them."
"These guidelines provide a practical, science-based approach that any clinician can implement," says David Holtgrave, PhD, chair of the Department of Health, Behavior and Society at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health and a co-chair of the IAS-USA Panel. "They are designed to promote the integration of the best available servicesboth behavioral and biomedicaland to create a clear pathway to access these services and realize their full benefit."
The panel's recommendations include the following:
The recommendations note that while implementing them may present structural, economic, or political challenges, the benefits should be substantial in preventing disease progression, promoting the gain of healthy life years and preventing new HIV infections.
In addition to Marrazzo, del Rio and Holtgrave, panel members included Myron S. Cohen, MD, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill; Seth C. Kalichman, PhD, University of Connecticut; Kenneth H. Mayer, MD, Harvard Medical School; Julio S. G. Montaner, MD, University of British Columbia; Darrell P. Wheeler, PhD, MPH; Loyola University Chicago; Robert M. Grant, MD, MPH, University of California San Francisco; Beatriz Grinsztejn, MD, PhD, Evandro Chagas Clinical Research Institute (IPEC)FIOCRUZ; N. Kumarasamy, MD, YR Gaitonde Centre for AIDS Research and Education; Steven Shoptaw, PhD, University of California Los Angeles; Rochelle P. Walensky, MD, MPH, Massachusetts General Hospital; Francois Dabis, MD, PhD; Université de Bordeaux; Jeremy Sugarman, MD, MPH, The Johns Hopkins University; and Constance A. Benson, MD, University of California San Diego.
IAS-USA is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization that sponsors continuing medical education for physicians and medical practitioners involved in the care of people with HIV, HCV, or other viral infections. IAS-USA, located in San Francisco, sponsored and funded the guidelines entirely. In this same issue of JAMA another expert volunteer panel brought together by the IAS-USA is publishing updated recommendations for the use of antiretrovirals for the treatment of HIV-1 infected adults. The IAS-USA treatment guidelines are widely used by clinicians since they were first published in 1996.

Jaffna, Sri Lanka -- At a time when archeological sites and artifacts were still being discovered as evidence of Buddhist heritage in the Jaffna Peninsula, the dark omen of terrorism started clouding the peace of the entire Buddhist nation.
In contrast to Myanmar, government moved fast to restore Buddhist buildings
Dhaka, Bangladesh -- "Who did this?" I asked the monk on a recent afternoon in Ramu, southeastern Bangladesh. "It was the Islamists," he replied. He pointed to the marks beneath the glistening new paint where a Buddha's head had been cleaved asunder. When asked about the culprits – "miscreants" in the local application of English – he gave me a glimpse of monastic resignation. "I don't know. They are people who don't understand."
Colombo, Sri Lanka -- The symposium on Buddhist Jurisprudence Sri Lanka 2014, will be held on May 10 at 9 am with the participation of Chief Justice Mohan Peiris, PC.
Before the focus on pandals, dansalas and elaborate illuminations, Vesak meant time spent at the temple. D.C. Ranatunga looks back
Colombo, Sri Lanka -- Going back six to seven decades, I recollect how Vesak was celebrated in the village temple. I remember how I used to accompany mother to the temple along the paddy fields to the 'Sabahve pansala'. (I never bothered to find out how the temple had got that name). Poya day then was another working day for everybody. So the crowd in the temple on a Full Moon day was limited to a handful, mostly the old folks, and mainly women .
Colombo, Sri Lanka -- Every time we pass the Kanatte roundabout under the spreading Banyan tree, our eyes go to the four white boards placed around It: Metta (loving kindness), Karuna (compassion), Muditha (sharing one's own joy as well as of other's too) and Upeksa (equanimity – learning to accept loss and gain). These are four basic principles in Buddhism and said to represent the core of Buddha's teaching.
Kuakata, Bangladesh -- It was a momentous day for the Rakhaine people in Misripara and nearby villagers in Kuakata. Their beloved temple known as Misripara Seema Buddha Bihar, had been saved. They had feared that the land of the ancient temple might be grabbed by influential people had it not been for the generosity of friends from another land.
Kashmir, India -- Buddhists have displaced Christian groups as the biggest recipients of foreign aid in Jammu and Kashmir. In the past seven years, non-governmental organisations based in and around Buddhistdominated and sparsely populated Leh have cornered more than half of the total funds that NGOs in the state have received, government records show.
Patna, India -- Local officials in the eastern Indian state of Bihar are trying to attract foreign investments and revive the area's former glory–known as the original site of the first recorded activities of Siddhartha, or Buddha, that once made it the center of the Maurya Empire of India in the 3rd century BC and visited by pilgrims from China and other countries some 1,500 years ago.
Gangtok, Sikkim (India) -- Hundreds of monks from Buddhist monasteries in the Himalayan state of Sikkim voted on Saturday to choose a Lama as their representative in the state assembly.
Colombo, Sri Lanka -- "Ordering by the beat of the drum that no animals should be killed within a radius of seven gau from the city, he gave security to animals. He also gave security to the fish in the twelve great tanks, and bestowing on (the region's people) gold and cloth and whatever other kind of wealth they wished, he commanded them not to catch birds and so gave security to birds…."

This is going to sound very very dumb...
Are the GPOs set to refresh at the end of each session? I found that doing that keeps the GPO settings accurate
Hi Edugeekers,
I have a very intermittant problem here which I can't replicate.
To forcefully connect laptops to wireless, I use a GPO that requires the laptops to connect to 'My School Here' using WPA2-Personal. I enter the password on the client after imaging, pop it on a trolley and away it goes.
Once every couple of days or so a laptop decides to forget the WPA2 password, and users cannot log on.
Students can't get to the network settings to change this (they are not accessible through control panel and the Notification icon for networks has been removed), so I'm wondering if anyone else has seen this behaviour or has any suggestions?
This is going to sound very very dumb...
Are the GPOs set to refresh at the end of each session? I found that doing that keeps the GPO settings accurate
Mr.Ben (27th October 2011)
I've got GPO's to refresh every 90mins and the forgetful machines are trying to connect to the correct network, they just no longer have the WPA2-Personal password, which I can't define in the GPO, unless I am about to be corrected!.
I'm thinking about setting up Radius and trying it without the password? would that make a difference here?
It would make a difference yes as Radius can take its authentication via AD.
You could always write up a script that runs on the laptops to say something to the effect of "On exit rejoin wireless with WPA-2 key xxxxxxxx" (not sure of the exact code but you get the idea)

RUST, LTD.: A corrosive force of innovation
UB Alumni media artist collective RUST, LTD.'s video game The Museum of the Microstar wins first place in Unity Technologies DirectX11 Competition. Courtesy of RUST, LTD.
Game design power-quartet RUST, LTD. may appear to be just four guys with great beards. However, the group is starting to gain national recognition for its award-winning ideas.
Unity Technologies is a company that drives video games like Dead Trigger (iOS and Android) and Endless Space (Windows) through their leading game engines. The company creates the pixilated magic behind digital environments produced by game developers across the world. In celebration of its latest update in Nov. 2012, Unity Technologies hosted a competition that asked game designers to utilize Microsoft's newly released DirectX11 - a plug-in used to enhance graphics.
The grand prize in this DirectX11 contest was awarded to RUST, LTD. (pronounced rust limited), a Buffalo media art collective made up of UB alumni, for their interactive video game, The Museum of the Microstar.This submission combines high technological graphics simulations with a story that points out the consequences of humanity's haphazardous technological advancement in a post-apocalyptic world.
The Museum of the Microstar is an interactive demo with two game modes: a technical walk-through that shows off some of the fancy digital renderingused in its production and a playable short narrative that's meant to satirize tech demos. The museum is curated by the only corporation left in the Universe - a corporation that celebrates human advancements toward discovering the Microstar, while celebrating the destruction of Earth simultaneously.
RUST, LTD. was surprised to receive the award, due to the satirical social commentary behind the game.
"[This demo] says we should think carefully about what it means to unthinkingly celebrate new technology as its role," said Adam Liszkiewicz, M.F.A. graduate from the Department of Media Studies and member of RUST, LTD. "[I believe] that it's important to think about the consequences and context of technology as it's being created and as it's being used. I think we have to give [Unity Technologies] a lot of credit for awarding us the grand prize for something like that."
Liszkiewicz also taught classes at UB. The complete RUST, LTD. roster includes UB Fine Arts alumnus Anton Hand, Media Studies alumnus Luke Noonan and Medias Studies alumnus Lucas Miller. The group met at UB in late 2009, while taking classes in the Department of Media Studies. Because the modus operandi of RUST, LTD. is non-hierarchical, Liszkiewicz states the four members rely on each other heavily in all aspects of production.
This virtual media super-group has produced a number of other games, including 3D puzzle platformer The Hold, which won Best in Show at Game Fest 2012, a neo-dada poetic approach to Minesweeper known as M!ndsweeper and many others.
The team noted associate professor and founding member of the Intermedia Performance Studio at UB Josephine Anstey left a long-lasting impression as a great educator and resource. She is a teacher who makes students feel comfortable taking risks as artists and excels in creating an excellent learning environment, according to Liszkiewicz.
"One thing I noticed that differentiated [Anstey] from other professors was that she encourages students to work on things that are interesting to the student - that really pushes them - instead of things that are interesting to her," Miller said.
RUST, LTD. found interest specifically in social activism in its work through projects that have the potential to better the community. Its project, Minecraft Memorials,has taken social activism into the digital world, quite literally, by erecting memorials of real-life mining incidents into the multiplayer game, Minecraft. This install has a strong ironic tone that the crew said relates to cities like Buffalo that utilize coal power.
"The fact that you're burning real coal while you're burning fake coal, and it's a game that sort of glorifies coal production, when in reality it's a pretty horrible profession," Noonan said. "It's really dangerous, it's going to give you some sort of cancer ... [Coal production] is a pretty horrible job, actually, and it took playing Minecraft for that to all come into focus there."
As far as the future of RUST, LTD. goes, its increased reputation is helping the founders attain contracts in a highly competitive, rapidly growing field. Hand states the group's work in the next six months will largely be in the mobile sphere, creating technology such as iPhone and Android apps, as the need for digital media production for mobile devices increases.
"From a commercial perspective, there's money there because people want to hire you to do that," Noonan said. "When you approach the mobile space there's a variety of unique interfaces there, so you have this really sensor-rich device."
The RUST, LTD. team is scattered across the country and solely collaborates online to create its innovative games.

- SuprisedOpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 11/23/2014The restaurant is very large with a warehouse feel to it. The serving portions were large and beautiful. The staff seemed new and young but attentive. I had a steak and it was cooked perfectly. There are many choices for steaks and toppings. I chose the Blu Cheese and it was very good. The best part was saved for last. A huge chocolate chip cookie cooked in your own private pan. It is topped with more chocolate and ice cream. Double yum. They also have a decent wine list with the usual suspects. A bit of a secret in a strip mall. Was suprized at how nice it was.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- AldoDined on 11/15/2014Food was excellent, mussels terrific. The wine service did not measure up...the reisling needs to be chilled, and at our request it was sent back and chilled. The server over filled the wine glasses, a fussy detail admittedly, but if one enjoys wine only an ounce or 2 works. Turns out the server was in training but the trainer may not have been paying attention to those details. The trainee was cooperative and pleasant about meeting our expectations as we made her aware.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Not just a chophouseMsOolongDined on 11/8/2014You might come for steak, but you will leave wanting to come back for the fire roasted mussels. The food is first rate and the service is very good. Since the space is so large sound carries and is at times hard to hear conversation at your own table. They have a large selection of wines and the staff is knowledgeable about pairing. You will enjoy as a couple or a group, but not for the little ones.Special Features:
- Great food and servicemrsfoodie2Dined on 11/8/2014A small group of us went to Timpano's this past weekend. It was the first time for myself, but everyone else was a repeat customer. The meal was truly amazing. Each course was timed perfectly so you never felt rushed and the staff was very attentive and friendly. The steak was cooked just as ordered and did not disappoint. I look forward to going back for dinner again and trying a new dish or getting the same one. The only downside for me were the mixed drink specials. A little pricey and nothing to write home about. Not to mention they were out of a few key ingredients that night for some of the drinks we wanted to try. Next time I will most likely go with wine as they had a great selection available.Special Features:
- Too LoudDWaltersDined on 10/23/2014A very nice restaurant if you are going with a crowd but definately not the spot for a quiet romantic dinner. It was so loud I could not hear the server telling me about the specials and still have no idea what I had. I must say it was fantastic though.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Tip your hat to TimpanoselectivedinerVIPDined on 10/22/2014Timpano is a go to place when I am in town. Their menu is expansive and the environment is warm. Service is thoughtful. My reservation noted the occasion we were celebrating and the staff congratulated the newly engaged couple when we came in. They also beautifully dripped the words "congratulations" in chocolate on the dessert plate. My only wishes are to use decent sized shrimp when ordered as a salad topping and to bring back the tower of desserts on a stick. I look forward to my next visit soon.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A versatile go-to spotEmilyEatsDined on 10/12/2014Timpano's atmosphere and decor is similar to the Cheesecake Factory, but a little nicer. Its definitely fancy enough for a nice dinner date, but I'd also feel comfortable having brunch there. The food is always good in my experience. Would recommend for big groups-- they even have a separate dining room you can reserve.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Last time in Timpano...regrettably.agradVIPDined on 10/4/2014Timpano used to be one of our favorite places for dinner. Last two experiences were complete disappointments. We had dinner yesterday - I've ordered pasta Shrimp Diavolo which supposed to have pine nuts and goat cheese, none were present, shrimps where (you could taste it) frozen few minutes before they were served. Veal and wild mushrooms rigatoni dish was absolutely tasteless and we left it on the table practically untouched. The specials mahi-mahi was really good and all of us took bites from this dish. All-in-all it's the last time in Timpano...regrettably. P.S. We learned restaurant had changed chef a year ago...
- Thank You!Byrdgyrl04Dined on 10/3/2014We went here for my mother's birthday and had an amazing time. The food is always amazing and cooked perfectly, and the deserts taste delicious as well. I am glad that they have lighter dessert options as after that mouthwatering steak, it is nice to have something not so heavy as rich chocolate cake, although my sister got a piece and it was oh so decadent. If you have not been, you should go soon!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- No flavor...BrewbakerDined on 9/27/2014Went with friends (6 total) everyone thought the food was very plan tasting and really lacked flavor! All of us got different dishes and all were very disappointed with the quality... I could have just warmed up noodles for a can and had better tasting food for much much less... (If I could I would have given zero stars for food)
- Disappointing this timeDaphneMarigoldDined on 9/18/2014I hadn't been to Timpano's in a while and welcomed the opportunity to try it again. This time the visit was disappointing. First of all, it was freezing cold in the restaurant, and we changed seats several times to try to find a comfortable spot. The food was OK, but just OK. For example, every bite of the chopped salad tasted exactly the same since the dressing was so powerful that it overwhelmed everything else. Nothing was first rate, and the menu is a bit pricy. Finally, the server was new and very nervous and made a number of mistakes, but she was very sweet and tried hard, so I don't take off points for that. Over all, I wouldn't rush back.
- Nice timeHazochDined on 9/3/2014We took our son for his birthday. Food and service were very good. A little pricey, but we were there for a special occasion so it was ok. Got a big piece of dessert cake, on the house, for his birthday. Overall, a good experience.Special Features:
- Awful foodNCollinsDined on 8/23/2014While it was a later reservation on a Saturday night, the quality of the food was awful. The calamari appetizer was bad - felt like chewing rubber bands. The mozzarella balls were very good. Two out of the three entrees were bad. The crispy chicken was not crispy and bordered on being fully cooked. We order the special and that was a big mistake. The risotto was supposed to have crab and lobster and it didn't - waiter brought out a plate of it and said the chef forgot it. The fish was very overcooked and unedible. After discussing with the server who was very apologetic, the manager came over and adjusted from bill but no additional comments or apologies. Will not return and will not recommend.
- Great potential, poor deliverynamoboDined on 8/21/2014Website promised reasonably priced quality food in a quiet, relaxing place, so we reserved. Reality had none of the promised features. An otherwise attractive dining area is surrounded overhead by what can only be described as a "convention arena," full of raucous noisome conventioneers. Relentless, obnoxious sound dampened any possibility of a well executed, but surprisingly expensive meal. Complaints were ignored. Waitress was unique -- she never once returned to inquire about meal or service! The lowest rated restaurant previously visited had servers trained to this minimal courtesy. Decor (other than the truly stupid balcony) & food have potential; prices don't resemble what website promises. Overall a severe disappointment.
- A quiet Birhday celebration!HerbfromRockvilleDined on 8/14/2014Making the reservations online was easy. We needed a "Handicap" parking space and they were available. Reception and service were great. We started with 'Forever Young' cocktails, which we drank while consuming a side dish of 'Calamari'. Both were outstanding. Food (Diablo shrimp/Prime sirloin) were tasty and plentiful. However, my Veal Marsala, served with very tasty mushrooms, tomato sauce, etc., seemed rubbery and tough. Each of us choose a different type of dessert, which were tasty. 'Skillet cookie' was a good treat for diabetic son. Our daughter was presented a piece of cake with two candles burning. Thanks. The prices for the side dishes (two types of potatoes, broccoli),seemed a bit steep. Otherwise a real nice evening.Special Features:
- We'll be backDiningOutDined on 8/9/2014Great place for a special dinner for two. Order the roasted mussels as an appetizer. The food is exactly what we were hoping for, and the service was excellent.Special Features:
- The following 895 reviews are from the Timpano Italian Chophouse - Rockville reviews archive.
- arshVIPDined on 7/26/2014Over priced for quality of food no Music in the restaurant very raw environment do not recommend it .
- DinnerOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 7/26/2014I has been a year since we went to Timpano's and with company in town, they wanted to eat at Timpano's again, as last time it was superb. This time, it was not even near the same standards food wise this place use to be. Appetizer of Fried Mozzarella Balls was poor to average - Mama Lucia's version up in Gaithersburg is far superior. Steaks used to be melt in your mouth but now it is just a good steak - but with higher prices. Found out back home that my wife's meal was lukewarm at best. I always tell her not to accept food like that. If I would have known, I would have sent it back and had them re-fire another plate. And being a Saturday night, I would have thought they would have some live music, but not this Saturday.
- Excellent as usualmcgwuireVIPDined on 7/24/2014I've been going to Timpano's for a few years and as usual, the service was solid and the food was excellent.I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 7/9/2014Good job. Service was great!! The waiter was very polite and attentive. Great experience.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Horrible!TotalFoodieDined on 7/4/20144 of us ventured here with hopes of a wonderful dinner. Our food was cold, the bread was hard, the waitress was not friendly or personable at all. Never again.
- FaireatersVIPDined on 6/18/2014Veal chop was fair. Shrimp was good. Chicken was tough. Service very good. It's a large room so that the noise level is pretty loud. Lunch is probably a better idea.Special Features:
- Great Place!petitegirl03Dined on 6/15/2014This place has such great food and a very nice atmosphere that makes it so nice to eat here. Though it may not be outstanding all the time I think it still is one of my preferred places to eat.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Exceedingly AverageLBandDAOVIPDined on 6/13/2014Wouldn't rush back. The restaurant was extremely hot inside, which really put a damper on dinner. The bottle of wine we ordered, while good, was also way too warm. The flatbread was nice and crunchy, but the crust couldn't stand up to the hunks of sausage (sliced or crumbled would have worked better) and the quantity of sage dumped in the middle of the flatbread was overpowering. I had the scallops, which were good - although when they say "sweet polenta," they really mean it. The chicken parm my husband ordered was soggy, and it seemed like the chicken had been pre-cut and breaded.
- Disappointed2tired2cookVIPDined on 6/13/2014We had not been to Timpano's in a few years, but had previously been impressed. Not so anymore. The service was very good but with respects to the food, the best part of the dinner were the hot rolls. Everything else was mediocre at best with exception of the sautéed mushrooms which were very good. For the price of the meals, the quality should have been significantly higher. We will not return nor would we recommend it to others as it currently stands.Special Features:
- Great RestaurantTheOnlyLBDined on 6/8/2014I remembered Timpano a few years back as a great evening bar. This visit was for a birthday celebration that went above imagination! The cocktails and roasted mussels were perfect and the entrees were extremely well mastered and plentiful. And the server was outstanding, she sets a standard! ( Sorry I can't remember her name )I will be planning another small personal event very soon and Timpano is at the top of my list.Special Features:
- Great food - Service marginalAj7841VIPDined on 6/7/2014Food was great and a bit on the higher dollar so the expectation was high. Service however was excellent at the door and they noted the vegan need in our party but the waitress seemed disinterested, dripped wine alll over the table and other areas of the cloth with no care for the expensive bottle. She was not interested in selling the specials or describing items - when asked for a recommendation etc.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- HelenDined on 6/5/2014Good food and service, great menu selection. The place was freezing. Powerful overhead vents pumped icy-cold air all over. Our group had to ask twice until the temperature was raised and the air flow became less offensive.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 6/4/2014TOM our server really took good care of us. He made us feel so special and welcome, esp this is our first time!KUDOS!!FOOD IS SUPERB .Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Consistently SatisfiedDandReeDined on 6/2/2014We were well pleased with our 2nd meal (early dinner) at Timpano's. Stefano provided excellent service and was very attentive to our needs. Our only disappointment was our favorite Napa cab was out of stock.I would recommend this to a friend.
- Incredible Scallops!CoupleofLocalsDined on 5/30/2014The Pan Seared Sea Scallops were absolutely the best I've ever had. Very tender and the flavor of the lobster cream sauce was magnificent! Great meal!Special Features:

- RandyVIPDined on 5/17/2014The martinis were well prepared as were the 4 cheese flatbread and the ceasar and chopped salads. Just the right amount of dressing and cheese. The scallops and polenta were excellently prepared as was the baked eggplant. We will certainly return!Special Features:
- Chain restaurant ahead of the packJohn33Dined on 5/17/2014Timpano Italian Chop House provides a dining experience that is above other chain Italian restaurants - including Olive Garden, Macaroni Grill and Carrabbas. Very good appetizers, main courses and deserts, but a bit on the expensive side. Ala carte adds to the expense, and the wines by the bottle and glass are a bit pricey. Having the surrounding balcony service adds to the noise. But, overall service is good and food delicious.Special Features:
- Perfect for a special dinnerLynnDined on 5/16/2014We arrived earlier that our reservation called for, however were seated immediately and without fuss. Server was very informative and pleasant. The meal was enjoyed over a two hour time span, which was a perfect pace to be able to enjoy everything without racing through courses. A nice relaxed evening, with outstanding food. The Tuscan flatbread had a little heat to it without being over powering. The meatballs were moist and tender, just like homemade. The veal was melt in your mouth delicious. Topped off with great coffee, a port wine and some sorbet. We love this place.Special Features:
- Good food and good for kidsMdDinerDined on 5/14/2014My husband and I love to go to Timpanos for special occasions. We love the muscles and their side items. The main courses are very good as well. This was the first time we brought our young kids. It was perfect for them. Nice kids menu and selections for them.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- AwesomecrabappleDined on 5/11/2014This place was great, the table was ready as soon as we stepped in (after reserving from opentable). The staff was very pleasant and food was of the 'HIGHEST QUALITY'. We did not have to wait long for food. Definitely recommend.Special Features:

Oakland Mall security director accused of stealing from stores
Updated On: Apr 24 2013 07:04:50 PM EDT
The security director for Oakland Mall stands accused of stealing from a handful of stores.
Troy police said Jeffrey Douglas Maul, 36, was caught on camera taking about $300 in cash from a register at Manic Shoes.
When questioned by police, Maul admitted to being responsible for the shoe store theft and four others -- two at Bosco's Barber Shop and one at President Tuxedo and Orange Julius.
He was arraigned Wednesday on charges of breaking and entering and larceny in a building.
His next court date is April 30.
Maul worked for Prudential Security, they issued this statement to Local 4:
Prudential Security provides security services to Oakland Mall in Troy, Mich., and employs the security manager who was accused of theft at Oakland Mall.
First and most importantly, we would like to stress that this is an internal matter that does not and will not impact the safety and security of shoppers or staff at Oakland Mall. At no time were Oakland Mall patrons or employees in harm's way. Oakland Mall is a family-friendly and safe place to shop. This was an isolated, internal incident.
While monitoring security footage, a Prudential Security employee witnessed the alleged theft in progress and contacted the Troy Police Department who subsequently arrested the suspect. The suspect has been terminated by Prudential Security.
At Prudential Security, our officers undergo rigorous screening and training. The individual in question underwent and passed multiple background checks and screenings at the state and federal level.
We are looking into the details of the incident and cooperating fully with law enforcement. We cannot provide more information at this time because the Troy Police Department is currently investigating the incident.
We strive to provide the best service and support to our customers and the patrons within the facilities we serve.
Prudential Security is based in Taylor, Mich., and serves customers across the United States.

It's getting harder and harder to get television viewers to actually sit and watch commercials, which means product placement continues to rise as a means to show consumers just how great a product is.
TV will be filled with awards shows for the next few months, live events often attract high tune-in, sprinkled with tune-out during commercial breaks.
PepsiCo's Aquafina brand is partnering with fashion TV powerhouse Project Runway (which jumped from Bravo to Lifetime TV in 2009) with a contest inviting aspiring designers to submit their designs for a chance to attend the season 11 finale at the Fall 2013 Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week in New York next month.
According to the press release, "Narrowed down from the pool of design submissions gathered over the past month, the four designers who receive the most votes will compete in a one-hour, live design competition in New York City on February 6, 2013. The grand prize winner will receive $5,000, Aquafina for a year and recognition among the esteemed Project Runway and fashion communities."Continue reading...

Nike's Air Force 1 just celebrated 30 years, hitting stores way back in 1982 as the first basketball shoe to use its Nike Air technology. It's been a huge success for the brand, and has become a collector's item for sneakerheads. Its recent appearance in front of the Supreme Court, normally a place where sneakers don't dare to tread, may only increase its appeal to collectors.
The trouble began back in 2009 when a small shoemaker, Already LLC, which makes Yums sneakers was sued by Nike for infringing on its Air Force 1 trademark with the design of its Soulja Boy shoes.
The Yums brand owner responded countersued before Nike "issued a covenant not to sue, promising not to raise any trademark or unfair competition claims against Already or any affiliated entity based on Already's existing footwear designs, or any future Already designs," World Trademark Review reports. "Nike then moved to dismiss its claims with prejudice, and to dismiss Already's counterclaim without prejudice on the ground that the covenant had extinguished the case or controversy."Continue reading...

BMW won the U.S. luxury-auto sales title for 2012 going away. But that was only the latest round in a three-way donnybrook among the German upscale car brands that likely will continue for many years, as Mercedes-Benz and Audi continue to vie with BMW for global domination in the most rarefied segment of the mainstream auto market.
BMW sales in the U.S. surged by 39 percent in December, powered by the popularity of its 5 Series car line (and, reportedly, by some tempting sales incentives). That was enough to vault BMW past Mercedes-Benz for all of 2012 by more than 7,000 vehicles in their race within a race. Things had been tight for most of the year, but at the end BMW gained a much larger victory than it won over Mercedes in 2011.
Both brands, however, already are looking over their rear fenders at a revived Lexus, which aims to take back in 2013 the sales title that it had won for 11 years straight through 2010.Continue reading...

super bowl
Posted by Dale Buss on December 19, 2012 05:05 PM
If any Super Bowl should be a key moment for Mercedes-Benz, the 2013 game on February 3rd is it. The brand's name is on the stadium where the Big Game is taking place, for one thing. It's introducing an important new model. And Mercedes-Benz could use a boost in the U.S. marketplace, especially one that would reverberate around the world.
Enter Kate Upton and Usher. Mercedes-Benz USA CEO Steve Cannon shared some details (and a sneak peek at the shoot, above) about the brand's 60-second ad planned for Super Bowl XLVII in New Orleans at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome. He told Business Insider that the ad will be "a tongue-in-cheeck depiction of how far a person might — or might not — go to get their heart's desire."
Such goals might be, say, an evening of clubbing with supermodel Upton, Cannon said, although "we are not using her as a sexual object," he insisted. Instead, the ad will be "upbeat, high-energy, fast-paced [but not] funny." And, of course, there will be a car in there, too. Specifically, Mercedes-Benz will be trying to appeal to a younger demographic by promoting the new CLA, which comes at a lower price point than the rest of Mercedes-Benz's luxury lineup.Continue reading...

Fiat faces more and more problems in the struggling European car market, so it's got to make more progress than company executives initially had hoped in the U.S. market — and faster than they'd planned.
So Fiat is turning up the voltage. In tandem with other Chrysler-owned brands, it is offering what it calls Conquest Bonus Cash as an incentive to U.S. buyers who own Volkswagens to switch. They'll give $1,000, through January 2, to any VW owner who buys one of their cars except for a handful of excepted models.
This isn't a usual tactic — the last time Chrysler did it was 2010, targeting Toyota. "We believe the Dodge Dart, for example, would appeal to current Volkswagen owners," Ralph Kisiel, a Chrysler spokesman, told brandchannel. Customers don't even have to give up their VW to qualify.Continue reading...

Diesel automobile sales continue to gain momentum and share in the US market even as hybrids and electric vehicles continue to stall as a segment. Mazda, for instance, just announced that it will offer a diesel beginning late next year. It's Audi, however, that continues to push the clean-diesel proposition more than any other brand.
As the brand unveiled its new offering of its TDI (Turbo Direct Injection) diesel engines across most of its product lineup — now including all of its mainstream models in addition to the A3 and Q7 clean diesel models where the option originated a few years ago — at the Los Angeles Auto Show, Audi of America President Scott Keogh was articulating his company's case for the technology in an unprecedented way.
Fuel-efficient, emission-reduced clean diesel "is the best choice for drivers seeking to save at the pump, for a nation seeking to free itself from the grip of foreign oil, for a society seeking smart ways to cut greenhouse gases, for a world seeking more sustainable mobility," Keogh told journalists assembled in Los Angeles, where the Q7 also received the ALG residual value award.Continue reading...

IBM's first tape drive turns 60
IBM's first tape drive turns 60 today, May 21st 2012. The Model 726 Magnetic tape reader/recorder was announced just a few weeks after IBM did the same for the model 701 computer, the first electronic computer the company produced in quantity. The 701 was also known as the "defense calculator", reflecting its intended use …
Actually worked on a 727 drive
Lots of vacuum tubes and all that. 200 bytes per inch on "standard" 1/2 inch tape. They took 2400 foot (10.5 inch) reels. The 727 had a nice feature that if you went far enough into the reel and asked for a rewind, it would "de-mount" the tape (wind out of the columns and raise the tape head) and rewind until it got closer to the beginning of the tape. Generally you didn't want to be just on the far side of the dividing point as the mount/de-mount sequence took quite a bit of time.
For the curious: The tapes (two fo them) were interfaced to an IBM 1620. Great fun (it was the 60's)!!
Storage density not 1 bit but 100 characters per inch
Re: RTFM
Thanks for pointing out my error, MadMalc. It was an editing mistake. I've made the changes to the text.
And FWIW IBM says density was 100 bits per linear inch http://www-03.ibm.com/ibm/history/exhibits/701/701_1415bx26.html. A 1200 foot tape therefore had 1,440,000 bits, or about 175k by my reckoning.
Re: RTFM
"And FWIW IBM says density was 100 bits per linear inch http://www-03.ibm.com/ibm/history/exhibits/701/701_1415bx26.html. A 1200 foot tape therefore had 1,440,000 bits, or about 175k by my reckoning."
That's probably per track, I imagine: there were seven of them...
I'm looking for a 726 ...
... to add to my machineroom/museum/mausoleum/morgue.
And no, magtape did NOT replace card decks. It took rusty pie plates to pull that off.
@Jake - - Re: I'm looking for a 726 ...
"I'm looking for a 726"
Years ago when the cannibalised units came onto the disposals market, we tried to turn them into audio recorders.
Shame really, too much early computing history went this way. (I once had several Williams tube memory units out of a variant of the ILLIAC I and accidentally left them under the house when I moved. Been regretting it ever since.)
at least you wouldn't forget where you put the tape
Tape De-mounts
Don't forget that the tape reels were designed to be easily/quickly mounted and demounted by the operations people. Unfortunately, these mounting operations weren't completely fool proof, such that it was possible to mount a tape reel insecurely. And, when this happened, the tape reel could come flying off of the tape drive, sometimes during a high speed rewind operation. Then, the reel would go careening around the machine room floor, spewing tape. And, supposedly, in at least one case, it manage to make it out of a upper story window! Wheeeee!
P.S. Mine's the one with the tape write rings in the pocket.

That dream came true and it has been a true joy to fly in a function language. This blog post shows some of the features that the clj-drone project has so far. There is still a bit of work to go to make it complete. But, I wanted to share and hopefully encourage others to start playing with it too.

Remembering Greta Garbo
Of course, womanizing is a subject only mentioned in the highly unofficial version of Garbo's life. If you read the New York Times biography on Garbo, you will learn only of her cancelled wedding to Gilbert, and that "the actress would have other romantic involvements, but would never marry."
It's typical of the Garbo party line.
In most mainstream publications, Garbo's sexual orientation is alluded to only vaguely, with code words like "androgynous" and with references to her penchant for "masculine" clothing. One might even find a list of her paramours that includes actors Gilbert and John Barrymore, as well as gay photographer Cecil Beaton (self-described as a "terrible, terrible homosexualist.")
Garbo in Queen Christina (1933)
But you will need to seek out McLellan's The Girls for the details on Garbo's affairs with women.
In fact, The Girls holds a wealth of information about the known (and rumored) lesbian loves of many of the stars of the Golden Era of Hollywood, including Alla Nazimova, Isadora Duncan, Tallulah Bankhead, Hattie McDaniel, Patsy Kelly, Lizabeth Scott, and notorious heartbreaker Marlene Dietrich.
The book is excellent fodder for a documentary, or — better yet — a feature film.
In the meantime, TCM (Turner Classic Movies) debuted this month a comprehensive new documentary about Garbo by director and film historian Kevin Brownlow. Narrated by Julie Christie, the film offers rare input from family and friends and depicts an earthy, funny Garbo that her legend belies.
It even touches on the taboo subject of Garbo's sexuality.
Brownlow told The Orlando Sentinel last week, "The family wanted us to put in that she wasn't lesbian, but nobody we spoke to was that definitive. … It's one of those things you can't be definitive about. All you can do is touch on it."
As a result, The Sentinel reports, "The family doesn't like the film's take on the actress' sexuality. Friends say Garbo enjoyed describing herself in masculine terms and amusing people with the gender confusion."
But some of the biggest hints about her true sexuality were dropped by Garbo herself.
Quotes like, "Being feminine is a lovely quality which I may not have enough of" and, "You don't have to be married to have a good friend as your partner for life," were simply not the standard sound bytes for women seeking fame in her era.
Garbo in Anna Christie (1930)
Whatever secrets she kept, she lived out loud as an original, independent spirit who attained international success without ever being defined by her relationship with a man.
It's a feat still rare for actresses in the 21st century.

BMW of North America is beginning a review for its $150 million U.S. ad account, the company said on Monday. The decision comes after a tumultuous six months for the company, having lost its long-time marketing executive, Jack Pitney,to a tragic accident last October and then parting with its former agency last Fall.
BMW is in the midst of an aggressive product onslaught in the next two years as the Munich-based company is trying to grow its business globally, as well as in the States.
The company had used GSD&M, an Austin, Texas-based ad shop until last November. Since then, it has been getting ad work from Kirshenbaum, Bond Senecal + Partners, NY, which created BMW's Super Bowl ads this year. Kirshenbaum had been the runner-up to GSD&M when BMW last reviewed its ad account in 2005, and had been doing the company's CRM work the last five years as well.
BMW's ad work has been the subject of much chatter and even controversy in the last year or so as the company played down its long-running "Ultimate Driving Machine" positioning in favor of a "Joy of Driving" idea. The "Joy," positioning is closer to the BMW brand strategy around the world, as the idea translates into most languages. "Ultimate Driving Machine" apparently doesn't translate into most languages.
BMW sales are holding up in the recession. The company was the number-two luxe brand in 2010, just ahead of Mercedes-Benz and just behind Lexus. But the company has been spending more on price discounts channeled into lease deals and financing discounts.
There are a number of ad shops likely to get a look: Kirshenbaum, Bond Senecal to retain it; The Martin Agency, Richmond, Va.; BBDO, NY (Creative chief David Lubars was creative director at Fallon Worldwide when that agency had the business and created BMW Films, among other great work for the carmaker); Crispin Porter + Bogusky, Miami; and Publicis, NY.
