Rated 5 out of 5 by Wally330219 Good experience Staff was very friendly and helpful. Hotel location is excellent to stroll down town Montreal as well as take metro to both orange and green line. Everything within walking distance. Also from airport, airport shuttle stops in front of hotel and one block away to catch the shuttle to the airport. As our personal preference, our king size bed mattress was too soft. Amenities in the bathroom was very useful and excellent. Size room is big enough and room was clean. August 24, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by bdbd Great disappointment The hotel is old but relatively clean and the staff was very attentive and helpful, especially the concierge. No refrigerators are provided in the rooms because the hotel is "green" but when one was requested to store medication, it was promptly delivered. The loud air conditioning system going on and off kept us up every night, but the beds were very comfortable. Dead spiders hanging outside the windows were visible in our room and in the club room. The club room amenities were very disappointing and far below other SPG properties we have stayed at. Although the space was beautiful ,with windows that offered multiple views of the city, the selection of food was limited, especially in the late afternoon. Although the location was great, I would not recommend this hotel to SPG members who expect a Category 5 rated hotel. August 5, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Angie2 training with Roche Diagnostics The Sheridan is a lovely facillity. The food for breakfast was delicious and well displayed. Consierge was awesome and arranged tickets for the hockey game for us. Upon check out though I had to make business calls to Roche and wanted that included in my bill to Roche. The attendant at the desk had already applied this to my bill and credit card and told me he had no authorization for this transaction. No other efforts to resolve this situation were applied. How unfortunate! April 12, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by SafetyPat Nice hotel, but left a bitter finish... Check-in process was quick & painless. The room is well decorated and proper. Bathroom was not too cramped; lighting is moderate... it could be brighter. Did not have a chance to use the pool/gym, but heard positive feedback from colleagues. At $15/day this Wifi fee is outrageous (free since I was there for a conference); speeds were good though. Getting charged $3/bag to store my luggage after check-out... outrageous! Overall, a nice hotel, but the extras can get to you... April 15, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Kris666666 Customer Service Alexandra Dragomir contacted me prior to my stay to ask about my room preferences. She was able to accommodate all of my requests. I found her to be professional and kind. The Sheraton is lucky to have her as an employee! The only thing missing from the hotel is having another bird as the ambassador. I always liked seeing Cecile over the years when I stayed at the hotel. So please reconsider having a new bird as a member of the Sheraton staff. Thank you! July 22, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by MikeNicolas good EXCEPT $3 LUGGAGE FEE! "good EXCEPT $3 LUGGAGE FEE!" 4 of 5 starsReviewed yesterday NEW Stayed many times at Sheraton Le Centre Montreal. Service, room and amenities were good. However, I was outraged when I was asked to pay $15 to store 5 pieces of luggage for a couple of hours upon checkout. I spoke to the front desk manager, which admitted this was not the industry standard and which waived the fee (thank you, I will return to your hotel because of this manager's good judgement). I encourage this hotel to stop this non-sense practice, which discourages outgoing guests from checking out of their room early, preventing housekeeping from cleaning the rooms sooner so that incoming guests can check in at a respectable time. I look forward to the hotels response, when, and only when, they remove this ridiculous fee (cash-grab). Stayed September 2014, travelled with friends September 2, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by davpaint7 Great Location, Beautiful Property, Professional Staff The location is perfect and the property is beautiful. The staff was extremely professional, courteous, and efficient. From the front desk to the lounge to the conference staff to housekeeping to the concierge to the bellmen - all of my interactions were extremely positive. After 15 years as an Operations and Marketing Manager at a large hotel/conference center, I was very impressed with the cleanliness of the venue and the excellence of the staff. August 10, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by NETraveler Good centrally located hotel. One flaw. We had a good 2-day stay in this well-run, centrally located hotel. But as long as the Sheraton continues to charge for in-room wireless access - even Starwood loyalty-program members like us are charged - we will not be returning. In this Sheraton, the only place you can enjoy free wireless is in the lobby - a serious hassle. I don't know if charging for wireless is now a Starwood-wide policy. If so, we will be avoiding all Starwood hotels in the future. June 30, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by Helene21 Raining inside the elevators Hello, Unfortunately this was not the best stay due to the fact that when we checked in around 1745 it was actually raining in the elevators. As soon as the doors opened, rain was poring down the top of the door and actually kind of ruined the hair I had just fixed up...notwithstanding the rain on my leather jacket. I had to blow dry my hair when I got to my room so was a bit late for my business dinner. Then when we came back from dinner around 2130-2200 we had to line up for the service elevator for quite some time. In the morning I asked if complimentary coffee was served anywhere and was told I could go to the coffee bar to purchase some. I found out after by colleagues that I could have gone to the 37th floor...There was no apologies at any time for the inconvenience the water issues caused which kind of surprised me.

Rated 2 out of 5 by Neveragain Wrongroom Booked for a king size room Arrived at 1am and was very tired When I arrived in my room it was small and had a queen size bed Called the front desk and was eventually told they found me a king size bed I said it was too late and I was too tired so I was offered to take $20 off my room Even being tired I did not get a good nights rest. I have always stayed at the Sheraton and I think I am over 14 stays now. After this stay I don't plan on ever staying again February 2, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by GG423 Excellent for business meetings I attended a conference and found the hotel to be very comfortable and accommodating. It is centrally located and close to many restaurants. Also very close to where the Canadians play. Excellent views of the city on the upper floors although major construction across the street may impact it in the future. My only frustration was the internet connection was inconsistent moving from my room to the meeting. September 19, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by legrand Super Hotel! Newly renovated. Elevator noise is so bad, i dont want to go back...sadly, because i love this hotel. And i do not base this on just one experience. Also, i had a connecting room and i could hear everything on the other side. Really. Could hear what they were saying, and when the person plugged in is cell phone, i knew he had a Iphone (the different bip an iphone makes when you plug it in). Other than that, the hotel is fabulous. Sadly it has these down sides... February 23, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by LK1127 Great location, average meeting hotel For the quick traveler, this hotel is stocked with everything you need, clean rooms, friendly service and a convenient walk to most downtown Montreal facilities. Where the hotel falls flat is in their meeting facilities and service. The meeting rooms are long and skinny, rooms were not serviced between sessions thus dirty glasses were on tables from multiple meetings, and the food was average at best. The fitness center is state of the art. February 11, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Jimbo6666 Great hotel in the heart of Montreal Can't beat this location for being close to everything. Room was comfortable and amenities were great, although it would have been nice to have an in room fridge. November 9, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by Tvan Staff was unfriendly I like the location of this hotel and it has a terrific gym. Unfortunately the morning staff was quite unfriendly, both at the front desk and in the restaurant. When I asked the front desk for walking directions to my first meeting, the attendant provided me with a map but did not know the street names and eventually told me to go underground. When I suggested that I would likely get more lost underground, she said she couldn't help me. May 28, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by LeilaA4 Many Problems During our 4 night stay we had multiple problems with the hotel and staff. One night we had to call 3 separate times at 3 am for noise complaints and only heard security on the final time. Our air conditioning in the room wasn't able to be controlled by the wall thermostat so we would have to continuously turn it on and off. Another time we ordered room service with a time guarantee of 15 minutes which ended up taking 40. August 5, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Gabon Always a favourite I always stay at this hotel when I travel to Montreal. The last time my room was not as clean as I would have liked. The TV remote, radio and telephone were so dirty, I could not touch them. This time the hotel lived up to their promise of making sure that would be taken care of. Everything was very clean and the room very comfortable. I always stay on the Club floor and it never disappoints. September 10, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by trev48 Cheesy Upgrade Just after I had reserved my room in the hotel I received an email advising that for $30 I could upgrade to a Club room and have the use of the business club room which I have enjoyed on previous trips - On arrival there was a note in the room indicating that the club room was booked for a private function and was unavailable - if I had known that in advance I would not have paid for the upgrade. The front desk declined to refund me. December 8, 2011
Rated 5 out of 5 by nanuk The hotel respect is client i would love to thanx the staff of the hotel i got stock in the elevator with 3 other ppl and the staff did all what they could to make it right give me a free night in a excutive suite plus a bottle of champagne they did not have to but still did because they care about the client... i would recomend this hotel to all and will go there again in the future thx for the great stay and specialy for the suite me and my wife love it May 20, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by rig123 Good Hotel The hotel was in a central location. It was close to shopping and the train stations. We loved the lobby bar as well. The concierge was helpful giving us directions and some tips. One recommendation I have, try not to stay on a corner unit. We were in **06 and the wind whistling was so loud against those windows that we were woken up at 5am! Not the hotel's fault, just a tip. Comfortable, clean rooms. Friendly, efficient staff. February 17, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by bikeguffie23 Well located hotel with great value for money This Sheraton hotel is in walking distance of the Bell Center, the shopping street St Catherine and Crescent street. You can walk almost to everywhere or have the metro very closeby. The rooms on the top floors are splendid with free wifi, access to the restaurant on the top floor where you can also enjoy free snacks in the afternoon. Top features in the room and the hotel. Great staff; especially the concierge staff. July 14, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by djn99 Turning a Negative into a Positive! When I arrived in my room I noticed some small black specks on the bed cover. When I investigated more closely, I noticed hair on the bed cover as well. I returned to the front desk and advised Anna. She was very customer focused and went out of her way to apologize and offered me a room upgrade and 2 complimentary drinks at the bar. This was totally unexpected, but most appreciated. Thanks Anna and Sheraton team, great work! January 30, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by Dookers4 This hotel has poor front desk service Front desk attendant was not polite, barely said 2 words, did not explain anything and stated parking would be added to our bill for check out. When we tried exiting garage next morning, parking was not added to our bill and we had to scramble to get these funds we were told we were already charged for. Our king bed was not comfortable at all either. Stay at your hotel every year and we were very disappointed in this stay. April 1, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Neal77 Birthday Weekend Great location for seeing the downtown attractions including Old Montreal plus close to Metro for further out attractions. Staff accommodated my request for a late checkout. Hotel is near central Via Rail station which we used to come to Montreal! Told staff at checkout that bathtub was not clearing water from our showers very quickly - our only fault with everything. Could use exhaust fan in bathroom is a suggestion. May 15, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by rosa111 very good location Room was very small in a corner. We stayed many times at the Sheraton and we had a nicer room. Very disappointed....Also, asked an early check-in and the Person at the desk seems to have a big problem with that but finally let us in at Noon as we were driving from out of town etc...Also, very few kleenex left in the box.....wow!!! I'm hoping next time will be better as this is a great place to stay. Thank you!! June 30, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Larigo 3 nights at Montreal Sheraton Center Overall really appreciated my staying at this hotel. Only small negative point: there was a disconnect on hotel parking info on how to manage parking ticket between reception lobby and parking staff. Reception lobby personnel told me that parking staff will let go inside. Parking staff let me go in but they asked for a ticket which I did not have in my possession but they provide me one. August 24, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Matt74 Good stay but disappointed with SPG recognition Pros: -good hotel location, close to St.Catherine St, shopping and restaurants -staff are organized friendly and responsive Cons: -as an SPG Gold, I expected a room on a Club Floor. Was told my room was an upgrade but did not agree. There are 8-10 Club Floors which is more than ample to provide to Golds -need better soap/shampoo amenities at this price point/level of hotel September 2, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Das2014 A nice hotel This hotel has character and is located near museums, shopping and restaurants. My room was clean and neat as expected. The facilities: pool, sauna and hot tub were a nice addition. Most notable was the courteous and helpful associates at the conceirge and front desks. I do not speak Frech and yet they were able to guide my activities. Hotel food was overpriced. Parking should be free. August 18, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Pionnier A business floor the 37th floor is unique by the view and also if you have to meet someone November 7, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by Badtzmaru If Only the Beds Were From This Century My experience here was wonderful with one glaring exception: the beds. Both double beds in the room were concave. I weigh less than 130 lbs. and yet I still fell into the hole in the middle of the bed each night. There are roadside motels with better beds! Now, everything else here was wonderful, especially the service. Housekeeping in particular was outstanding. September 5, 2014

Creeping Charlie Suggestions...
Hi All,
So we've done the pseudo-organic method for about 4 years, although we haven't been strict about some of the rules (watering, etc). We are slowly having an influx of creeping charlie, and it is getting out of control in some parts of the yard.
Pulling by hand is just not working - it grows quickly.
We've got a mix of clover in with the grass, and generally try to cut high and water less.
I'm ok with having "some" charlie and weeds, but it's really getting close to taking over. Any suggestions for how to kill charlie?
What would happen to my soil organisms if I apply pesticides one spring to "nuke" the charlie and then return to organic? Is this possibly a recommended course of action to keep things under control for a few more years?
Creeping Charlie, aka Creeping Jenny and ground ivy "Glechoma hederacea", has prefered soil conditions like any other plant has and usually these soil conditions are not good grass growing conditions. Correcting the too moist, shady, and generally lower soil pH conditions can help, so a start to control "Glechoma hederacea" is with your soil.
What is your soils pH?
How much organic matter is in that soil?
How well does the soil drain?
How well does that soil retain moisture?
What does that soil smell like?
What kind of life is in that soil?
How does that soil work?
Here is a link that might be useful: About Creeping Charlie
Hi Kimmsr,
Thanks for the Charlie post. I took a look at the "hot spots" today and can identify some of the problems right away. Some of the spots are definitely retaining more moisture than others, which is contributing to "my" charlie problems. Guess I need to cut back on watering certain areas.
The other areas are cared for by my neighbor, who doesn't use organic methods. These areas are sunny, and the charlie is totally out of control. It's getting cut pretty regularly and pretty short, too. Sure that's contributing to growth.
We've been working to up organic matter for the past several years, spreading compost and coffee grounds regularly. Soil is slightly basic, but not much. More and more worms every year. The yard is a mix of clay in one area and lots of sand. It's taking a lot of soil ammendments to get some good quality soil, but we're getting there.
Thanks for the link, that's also good charlie info.

Description (OCR text may contain errors)
July 19, 1966 M. ROBERTS ETAL EXTRACTOR FOR PERITONEAL ENTRY DEVICE Filed Aug. 26, 1963 INVEN TORS AIM/M M55775 SIM/7f M [If/Hf FIG. 3.
United States Patent 3,261,357 EXTRACTQR FOR PERITONEAL ENTRY DEVICE Martin Roberts, Pacoima, and Stuart M. White, La Canada, Califi, assignors to Don Baxter Inc., Glendale, Califl, a corporation of Nevada Filed Aug. 26, 1%3, Ser. No. 394,497 7 Claims. (Cl. 128-348) This invention relates generally to an extractor for devices inserted through the abdominal wall of patients wherein an inner member must be pushed down inside another member before the device can be removed. More particularly, this invention relates to an extractor for use in combination with an expandable wing-type peritoneal entry device. This peritoneal entry device is the subject of a separate application, Serial Number 302,110, filed August 14, 1963. The entry device is suited for any use where the peritoneal cavity must be repetitively entered, but its main use is in connection with peritoneal dialysis.
Peritoneal dialysis is a procedure used in treatment of acute and chronic kidney shutdown. To remove the undesired metabolites from the blood, the peritoneal cavity is filled with a dialyzing solution and left there from 30 to 120 minutes. During this time, dialysis takes place across the peritoneal membrane surrounding the intestines and other organs, and toxic materials including urea, creatinine, and salicylates and barbiturates when present, pass into the dialyzing solution. The dialyzing solution is then removed from the peritoneal cavity carrying with it some of the toxic materials previously present in the blood. Fresh dialyzing solution is then run into the peritoneal cavity and allowed to remain there the required length of time and then removed. This example of a batch-type dialysis is continued from 8 to 36 hours until the level of toxic substances in the blood is sufliciently lowered. By varying the specific electrolytes and their concentrations in the dialyzing solution, the blood electrolytes can be tailored to approach normalconcentrations.
One of the problems in repetitive peritoneal dialysis is the lack of a simple entry device for periodically inserting a catheter through the abdominal wall of a patient. This problem is eliminated by installing the illustrated peritoneal entry device at the first dialysis ,and merely capping it between dialyses. Simply uncapping the device permits a catheter to be inserted without a separate trocar puncture for subsequent dialyses.
The entry device which is shown in use with the eX- tractor is constructed of two tubes, one slideably mounted inside the other. These two tubes are joined together at one end. Near this end, the outer of the two tubes has fiareable wings which are adapted to open inside the abdominal cavity. Axial motion of the two tubes relative to each other expands or retracts the lateral wings of this device. The extractor of the present invention is designed to retract the wings of the entry device by pushing the inner concentric sliding tube down inside the outer tube.
An object of this invention is to provide an extractor for use in removing an expand-able wing-type peritoneal entry device from the abdominal wall of a patient.
Another object of this invention is to provide an extractor to retract the wings of a peritoneal entry device and provide a convenient handle for pulling out said device once the wings are retracted.
A further object of this invention is to provide an extractor that will retract the expandable wings of a peritoneal entry device while said wings .are inside the abdominal cavity and said extractor is outside the abdominal cavity.
Other objects and advantages of our invention will become apparent from the following description of the preferred embodiment of the invention, in which:
FIGURE 1 is a perspective view of the extractor showing it extracting a peritoneal dialysis entry device from the abdominal wall of a patient;
FIGURE 2 is a cross-sectional view of the lower portion of the extractor when it is not attached to the peritoneal entry device;
FIGURE 3 is a bottom view of the lower clamping jaws of the extractor showing the clamping teeth; and
FIGURE 4 is an enlarged partially cutaway view of the extractor showing the engagement of the plunger and the peritoneal entry device.
FIGURE 1 shows an installed peritoneal entry device through the cutaway section of abdominal wall 5 with skin So on the outside and peritoneum 3 on the inside. The entry device has an outer tube 2 which is inserted through a round hole made through the skin So, abdominal wall 5 and peritoneum 8 with a trocar. Slideably mounted inside tube 2 is inner tube 1 which has a continuous, longitudinal, inner bore of sufficient size to receive a catheter. Tubes 1 and 2 are fastened together at end 7 with outer tube 2 having expandable wings 4 cut longitudinally in it. When the peritoneal entry device is inserted, the top ends of tubes 1 and 2 are longer than they are shown here, with the inner tube 1 extending out beyond outer tube 2. By pulling on inner tube 1 and pushing on outer tube 2,
the wings 4 are caused to expand by creasing along fold lines 6.
While the peritoneal entry device is in the patient, a double locking nut mechanism is tightened in place against the portion of outer tube 2 extending above abdominal Wall 5. The locking nut mechanism slides over the tubular members and is pushed against the skin of the abdominal wall, giving a custom fit to the patient adapted to his particular abdominal wall thickness. This locking nut mechanism and the flared wings prevent axial movement of the entry device in the abdominal wall.
With a sterile razor blade, the portion of tubes 1 and 2 extending beyond the locking mechanism is cut off and discarded. Cutting of the tubes leaves a level surface across the locking nut mechanism, and a closure cap can be screwed onto an outer thread on the locking nut mechanism. To accomplish peritoneal dialysis, the cap is removed and replaced with another cap having a hole in its top to allow entry of a catheter and having a sealing washer inside to seal around the catheter. The locking nut mechanism, the cap, and the catheter have not been shown in the drawing because they are removed from the peritoneal entry device before the extractor comes into play.
Removal of the locking nut mechanism leaves the two tubes 1 and 2 sticking up through the abdominal wall 5 a distance of about /2 inch, but both of these tubes have been cut oil evenly. The problem in extracting the entry device is to hold outer tube 2 while forcing the tight-fitting inner tube 1 further into outer tube 2 so as to retract wings 4. The outer tube 2 is too smooth to hold firmly with the hands while forcing the inner tube down inside the outer tube, and if released, the whole device might slip into the peritoneal cavity.
This invention provides a clamping device that will firmly grip outer tube 2 and hold it from being pushed into the abdominal cavity, and also will prevent it from rotating. Coacting with this clamping device is a threaded plunger which pushes the end of inner tube 1 further into outer tube 2 so as to retract the wings 4. The clamping device includes a flat guide portion 9 and an upwardly projecting flange 10, both of which are threaded to receive plunger 18. It is also possible to have a nonthreaded plunger axially movable by manually pushing or pulling said plunger while it is guided by a nonthreaded hole in the flat guide portion 9. On opposite sides of the guide portion 9 arcuate spring sections 11 project upwardly and connect to side members 12. Connected to the lower end of each side member 12 is an inwardly extending jaw member 13. These jaws overlap and each has a hole 14 through its center. Preferably, these jaws are slightly convex or have a bend near their center to permit relative lateral movement with respect to each other without binding. When the spring clamp device is not positioned over the entry device, the holes 14 in the overlapping jaws 13 are not superimposed but are forced apart as in FIG- URE 2 by the spring action of arcuate spring sections 11 and side members 12. The holes 14 are slightly larger than the outer diameter of the outer tube 2. Each jaw 13 has a sharp edge around hole 14 and each preferably has serrations or teeth in position to contact the surface of outer tube 2, in order to prevent axial slipping or rotation of tube 2.
In the illustrated embodiment of the present invention, the jaws are opened by an inwardly directed force applied with the fingers on side members 12 until the two holes are superimposed. It is also possible to modify the spring tension in the spring clamp device so that the side members have to be pulled apart to obtain superimposition of the two holes. In this modification, an inward pressure on side members 12 would cause an additional clamping force to that provided by the arcuate spring sections 11. A second modification would be to have the two holes superimposed when the spring sections are in their relaxed position and the clamping force provided solely by the pinching force of the fingers on members 12. Of course, in these two modifications the serrations 15 of jaws 13 would be positioned along the opposite edges of holes 14 so as to contact tube 2. Serrations also could be provided around the entire circumference of holes 14.
FIGURE 4 shows an enlarged cross-sectional view of the plunger 18 entering the peritoneal entry device. The plunger 18 is telescoped partially into outer tube 2 and is pushing downwardly on the end of inner tube 1. As can be seen, the diameter of plunger 18 is slightly smaller than the inside diameter of outer tube 2, but is larger than the inside diameter of inner tube 1. Centrally located on the end of plunger 18 is protruding guide pin 20, which extends a distance into the bore of inner tube 1 and positions the plunger 50 it can push inner tube 1 further into outer tube 2. A depth mark 19 is provided on plunger 18 to indicate when the plunger has completely retracted the wings of the entry device. When mark 19 is directly in line with the top surface 21 of outer tube 2, the wings have been completely retracted and the entry device can be pulled out through the hole in the abdominal wall. Alternatively, complete retraction of the Wings can be felt when the plunger ceases to move easily within the clamp device. Once the wings have been retracted, removal of the peritoneal entry device is accomplished simply by pulling on the complete extractor assembly. After the entry device has been pulled out, the small entry hole in the abdominal wall is closed by sutures.
Modifications to the illustrated and described extractor for a peritoneal entry device may be resorted to within the spirit and scope of our invention.

Pats can clinch home-field edge by beating Bills
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP)
The New England Patriots have one major goal remaining in the regular season: clinching home-field advantage throughout the AFC playoffs. All they need to do is beat the Buffalo Bills on Sunday.
That doesn't seem so difficult for a team that has won its last seven games and will be at home against one that dropped seven straight before winning Saturday.
The Patriots (12-3) must keep avoiding turnovers and get decent play out of a makeshift offensive line should two starters remain sidelined. But the Bills (6-9) won 34-31 in the third game of the season, handing the Patriots one of their three losses. The Patriots gave the ball away four times in that game, all on Tom Brady's interceptions leading to 24 points.
''I think everyone still has a pretty bitter taste in our mouths from the last time we lost to the Buffalo Bills,'' Brady said Monday on WEEI radio. ''It was an incredibly difficult loss for our team. Everyone is going to be excited to go out there and see if we can do a better job.''
They've done much better at hanging on to the ball throughout their winning streak. In those seven games, the Patriots have 16 takeaways and just two giveaways. They lead the AFC with a plus-14 turnover differential.
In their first eight games, that differential was zero - 14 takeaways and 14 giveaways.
''In the beginning of the season, it just wasn't very good,'' offensive coordinator Bill O'Brien said Monday. ''It's kind of ironic playing Buffalo this week and the challenges that they present. We turned the ball over four times against Buffalo in that game and we can't do that. That's just no way to win.''
Brady has thrown just one interception in the last seven games after having 10 in the first eight.
''Tom has done a much better job of taking care of the ball and he's very, very conscious of it and it carries over to the rest of the offense,'' O'Brien said. ''If we can just continue to do that, that's one of the major stats that equals wins, just taking care of the ball. The way our defense has been playing opportunistic football, that's going to help us going forward.''
With better protection, Brady has more time to stand in the backfield and allow his receivers to get open. That was a big problem early in Saturday's 27-24 win over the Miami Dolphins in which the Patriots trailed 17-0 at halftime.
Left tackle Matt Light didn't play after hurting his ankle in pregame warmups. Left guard Logan Mankins started but suffered a knee injury in the first quarter that ended his day. There was no word on whether either would face the Bills.
''I don't really know much more than I knew on Saturday'' about Mankins, coach Bill Belichick said. ''(Sunday) was Christmas, so today's not a normal Monday. We'll see where everybody is today and, more importantly, Wednesday when we hit the field again.''
Brady was sacked twice on New England's first 10 offensive plays against Miami and was hurried often. But with offensive line coach Dante Scarnecchia making adjustments, the protection was much better in the second half with rookie tackles Nate Solder and Marcus Cannon, and free agent guard Donald Thomas filling in.
''We have a lot of depth up there because we bring in guys that are multiple position guys,'' O'Brien said. ''They're smart guys, they're tough guys and then Dante gets them ready to play. When one guy goes down, it's really the next-guy-up mentality.''
Scarnecchia has had plenty of experience with that. He's in his 28th year as a Patriots assistant, the last 12 as offensive line coach and assistant head coach under Belichick. They also were New England assistants under Bill Parcells in 1996.
''Dante, as I've said many times before, is really just an outstanding coach at every level, whether it's working with experienced players or developing young players or game planning against sophisticated schemes or teaching the most basic techniques to rookies, undrafted players, things like that,'' Belichick said.
''He really is very thorough, well prepared, smart, communicates well with his players. ... He's done a great job all the years that I've been here.''
Scarnecchia has coached in 32 of the Patriots' 36 playoff games. He, and the rest of the team, would like to play two at home this season. If they win those, they'll reach the Super Bowl.
But Brady is focusing on beating the Bills. If the Patriots lose, they can earn the top seed and home-field advantage throughout the AFC playoffs only if both Baltimore and Pittsburgh lose.
''It's hard to not be aware of'' possible playoff opponents, Brady said. ''We definitely don't sit there in team meeting rooms and say, `These are all the scenarios that can play out.' ... We really are concerned with how we're performing.''

Gartner pointed out the other day, 2012 global Tablet PC Terminal sales volume is projected to reach $ 118.9 million, compared to sales of 60 million 2011, which increased 98%.
IOS of Apple in the Tablet PC operating system market has an dominance, 2012 is expected to be 61.4% of global Terminal sales volume of tablets. Despite Microsoft's system of tablet devices enters to market, During the Gartner forecast period, Apple will continue to maintain a leading position.
Gartner Research Vice President CarolinaMilanesi said: "although personal computer manufacturers and handset makers racing to introduce their products and have their place in the Tablet market, however, except for Apple's iPad, we only found a few examples of success. As manufacturers strive to gain a competitive edge in price, and strive to achieve a difference in hardware or eco-systems, has accumulated inventory, only 60 million global tablet computers sold to consumers. Despite the launch of the new iPad has changed the competitive landscape, but the situation is still not improved in early 2012. "
Milanesi went on to say: "this year, Apple's competitors are waiting for what Apple will launch the new machine, both in the United States the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) or Mobile World Congress (MWC), only a few manufacturers announce new tablet computer. Many manufacturers in Windows8 when be available, will try to double the platform access market, hope that Microsoft's brand aura to increase their share in the enterprise and consumer markets. "
Microsoft Tablet this year is expected to reach 4.1% in total global Tablet sales, is expected to rise to 11.8% by the end of 2016. Windows8 will be launched by Microsoft into the Tablet market with the operating system.
Milanesi said: "IT will Windows8 as a good opportunity for enterprises deploying Tablet, because of their familiar operating system for the enterprise, and equipment are also provided by many businesses already familiar with suppliers. This means Windows8 for consumers not only have a strong attraction, IT vendor support for the enterprise provides powerful environment. "
Foxconn's HR executives recently revealed that Foxconn has received the order of the sixth generation of Apple iPhone5, is expected to release in October of this year. What is more, many iPhone fans have bought many best iphone4 cases on iphone accessories mall
Microsoft greater China CEO Liang Nianjian said want Windows Phone mobile phone initially to the Chinese market in terms of sales than iPhone, more than Android phone from a long-term perspective, become the market leader. Apple and Google are now regarded as smart-phone business growth in China the next source. Expected in 2012 China will become the world's largest smart phone market.
Gartner analysts said, by 2015, the tablet computer market sales volume is about 35% of total sales of Tablet. But this does not make it clear that procurement for the enterprise. More and more consumers are using individual Tablet PCs in the workplace, Gartner expects companies will allow tablet computers become part of the programme of employees to purchase their own equipment.
Milanesi said: "this move will hit some lock Enterprise Tablet market vendors, so that consumers are interested in reducing the products. This situation is just like RIM will have to face competition in the Smartphone market. But the difference is, flat start to lock customer base, which is general consumers, rather than business users, and consumers rely on apps and services such as the formation of ecological systems to manage the work. If the Tablet is responsible for deployment by enterprise IT departments, we believe Windows8 will enjoy advantages in the future such as the operating system, but only if you want to plate needed to use those products are able to combine the ease of use. "
2012 Android Tablet sales are expected to reach 31.9% in total Tablet sales Gartner analysts, Android Tablet's main problem is the lack of applications that can be applied to the plate and give full play to their abilities. Gartner survey shows that consumers install a number of different apps on their phones and tablets.

If there were to be a world event that completely shut you off from your current way of life, say the internet failed completely, would you be able to survive and for how long? Think about it.
A couple of moths ago I got it into my head to set up an emergency stockpile of foodstuff and groceries. In my case, living alone with only my animals to look after, the stock didn't have to be so huge. A couple of tins, about 30 odd, some dried stuff like a big bag of rice and a bunch of dog food and cat food tins. 25 Kilograms of dog chunks and about the same in cat chunks, no frozen or perishable foodstuff.
Well, in retrospect, this would not last very long, probably about a month. That, of course, is not the only thing to be taken into account. I would have to move to some place very hard to reach on a single tank of fuel, say Vioolsdrift on the Orange river for example. It's a long way from any town with desert on all sides, flowing river water and a thriving agricultural society. Remember, with the internet shut down the shops will run out of produce in less than a week. Fuel stations will run dry even sooner and so on. This is a worst case scenario where I have to run away from the mob anarchy that will develop in the big cities and a remote, hard to reach place would be a good bet.
Since there won't be any electricity supply, I'll have to get candles as well, maybe an extra can of standby fuel too. In South Africa our power supply has become rather a dodgy thing to rely on in the past decade or so, Escom. That's more than likely why I started thinking about this in the first place.
I've been surfing the net looking at other websites by people with the same notion in their heads, what to stock up on and what could happen if a world changing event did take place, not scary, just interesting. I even came across a document about America being shut down, by terrorists of course. Hmm! How prepared would you be should that happen?
Let me know and if you know of any site I could take a look at please post a link for me.
Thanks and blessings to everyone, Geoff.
Oh, by the way. I'm in good shape, after my heart attack, and in good spirits.

Heart Attack, what you will experience.
|Where I was on Wednesday. source
I had a heart attack on Sunday night. (25 January 2015)
Yes, I'm still alive and in good spirits, well sort of good spirits. I'm grateful to God for my being alive, even though I don't deserve this. I'm humbled by the number of people who contacted my family voicing their concerns and praying to God for me, from Australia to England, amazing. To everyone I would like to take this opportunity to express my sincere thanks and gratitude. Thank you.
So, what can you expect should you have a Heart Attack in Africa? Here is my experience.
I will try to break this up into pre-heart attack, the moment it happened, the treatment and post treatment.
There are a few things to take into consideration here; I'm not overweight, only 63 kilograms or about 130 pounds. I've been stable at this weight for the past 30 odd years.
Fitness, in my case, had declined a bit since I left Cape Town. Taking walks alone in Johannesburg is not safe, muggings do occur very often here. In Cape Town I had the farm, the hill, the beach and the whole area was safe, no muggings. The point I'm trying to make here is I stopped walking and now go by car, which by the way isn't exactly safe either, smash and grab, hijackings and so on. But my level of fitness has dropped somewhat.
I have been a smoker for about forty plus years. There were the odd periods when I stopped, once for up to six years but I am and always was a smoker. Expensive and not very clever. I was drinking quite a bit of red wine. South African wines are amongst the finest wines in the world, on a par with the finest French wines, so there's my excuse. I'm also a God honoring practicing Christian of nearly 60 years of age.
Pre-heart attack:
A few weeks ago I was finding that my left arm was sore and uncomfortable, not excruciatingly painful, just tight and sort of cramped. I'd stretch it out to my left to try relieve the discomfort. I did know that this was a pre-cursor to a heart attack and was a bit concerned but, not knowing what to do about it, I endured it without complaint. What else was there to do? Another thing I found was the degree of exhaustion I was experiencing on a daily basis. I'd go to work and get really busy in the morning, but by one in the afternoon I was tired. By three, all I wanted to do was lie down and have a sleep. This was something I couldn't understand, I'd slept well, I was eating properly, there was stuff to do so boredom wasn't involved. I just could not understand why I was so tired. The other thing that I experience was an inability to get my head around things, sort of disorientated. At the time I was thinking it had something to do with the wine I had had the evening before, like a hangover, but not quite the same, it even affected my vision which wouldn't quite focus properly.
Okay, so there you have the impression I have of the prelude to this life changing event in my life. There are I'm sure, many more things I haven't taking into account, probably because I didn't notice them at the time. So, without further speculation on what I didn't notice, lets move on to the fateful day.
The Moment it happened.
This event happened at about 11.30 on Sunday night, South Africa time of course.
I live alone and most of my home time is spent watching movies or reading what I would consider interesting articles on the internet. Friday evening in front of the computer with a bottle of wine and something to eat, plus of course my cigarettes. Saturday getting a bit of shopping done then back to the computer till about midnight. Sunday morning off to church, clean the house and by evening back for a movie or two before bed. All through the weekend I had periods of sleep during the day, up to about 4 hours at a time.
At about 11.30. On Sunday evening I had had enough of watching movies and decided to go to bed. I stood up and went to the bathroom to get a headache powder, I had had some wine and didn't want to wake up in the morning with a headache. As I put my head back to take the powder I felt a very intense painful discomfort in the middle of my chest. It felt like my heart was cramping. Definitely my heart, I could take deep breaths without any further discomfort, My ribs were not sore nor were the muscles outside the rib-cage. I bent over the basin and everything I had eaten came out in a rush, not like retching as is usual but more like a natural thing to do, no taste and no extra discomfort just out it came.
I stood there clutching my chest trying to calm myself down and, at the same time, trying to work out what was going on. Why would red wine and pork chops cause me to vomit and why would it give me chest pains? I was very confused but turned to the Lord and asked Him to please not take me tonight. Why I asked that I have no idea. The pain in my chest wasn't like someone sitting on my chest, it was inside and felt more like a cramp. Another thing I was experiencing was cramping in my upper back between my shoulder blades. This was most uncomfortable and disconcerting. Oh, I also had a feeling in my throat a bit like indigestion, in fact very much like acid re-flux.
I took another headache powder, the first one had gone down the drain, literally. These powders I'm talking about, "Grandpa Headache Powders" contain Aspirin so, in my thinking, this was probably a good thing. The Cardiologist who later treated me agreed, it probably saved my life. After this I closed up the house and went to bed hoping to get through the night without further ado. After some rolling about in bed trying to get comfortable I did fall asleep, four hours later I was up trying to cope with the pain in my chest and back. I'm not sure if what I did next was such a good thing but no-one has told me any different yet. I took a very strong painkiller, something I had left over from when I was injured and hospitalized previously. It didn't help me sleep but by 8.30 on Monday morning the chest pain had let up.
My intention at this stage was to spend the day in bed resting. I got hold of my brother and explained I was not going to the factory and he was going to have to open up for the guys. This is generally one of my tasks, open up in the mornings and locking up at night. I did explain that I had chest pain, can't remember what his reaction was. Toni my younger sister called at about 8 am to ask me about something, not quite sure what, but before she got around to it I told her what had happened. All chaos broke loose.
First thing she wanted to do was drive all the way out to Mid-rand, about 40 kilometers away, to come fetch me to take me to her doctor. At the time I was feeling okay so was not open to that. Eventually we decided that I would drive to her work and then we could go to the doctor. Okay cool. Shelley, my daughter, would meet us at the consulting rooms and we would go on from there. This is what did take place. The doctor took blood samples and gave me an ECG. The graph looked normal enough but the blood samples would need to be analyzed before he would know what had happened, fair enough. This analysis took 2 hours, probably less for the actual analysis, but transport and so on takes time. His final call was, "Mr Maritz, you definitely have had a heart attack and need to go to Johannesburg General Hospital as soon as you can." Ouch, what a thing to hear. I had been hoping it was not a heart attack and hearing the confirmation was quite a disappointment, oh well such is life.
During the two hour wait I had gone to my sister's place to relax. I phoned Toni to let her know the results of the test and asked her to get hold of Shelley, my daughter, to take me to hospital. She arrived about 45 minutes later and we were off. It took a bit of working out how to get to the hospital itself. Neither of us had been to this particular hospital within the last 30 odd years and even though we both knew where the hospital was, getting to it involved various twist and turns. We got to cardiac admissions at about 14.30, about 15 hours after the event.
The treatment.
The doctor at the admissions took blood samples and repeated the ECG, same results. They had me in high care straight away while I waited to be admitted to cardiac intensive care. I did feel alright but the chest pain had come back, I think the painkiller had worn off. The rest of the time, up until I had the Angiogram, was quite boring. I was finally admitted to intensive care at 10.30 in the evening. They hooked me up to monitoring machines and did all the same tests again. Stuck needles into my stomach, something to do with thinning my blood, there were pills for cholesterol and a half an aspirin tablet. Very uncomfortable night, tied up in tubes and cables running to machines and drips. Very noisy place too. Wow!
I found the day shift nursing staff great to get on with, very attentative and present. The night time staff on the other hand were something else altogether.
The ICU unit was pretty well equipped and clean with full sheets and good attention. I had heard, from who knows where, that the cardiac unit was probably the best in Johannesburg, even better than most private hospitals (which I couldn't afford).
I was taken for an Angiogram early on Monday morning and the whole thing was complete before 10.
They took me into room that had large white machines and a narrow bed in it. I couldn't get a good look at everything, I was on a gurney lying flat on my back. I was asked to scooch over on to the funny bed, which I duly did, and they began to work on me. Just a little shave on both my upper, inner thighs, cleaning with alcohol swabs, wow, so cold, and then a whole lot of green covers. Apparently they were going to use lots of water and this was to prevent me from getting drenched.
Cardiac surgeon, Doctor MC Cutcheon, was going to be performing the operation on me, nice guy. He gave me an injection to numb the skin where he would be operating, then made a small incision in my right groin and inserted a tube so that the machines could could do what they were about to do, and put in one stitch to hold everything in place.
Various dies were injected in to my blood system and, as far as I could understand, a mildly radioactive fluid. With the patient now prepared the machines came to life. Around my upper body was a cone of clear space in which the imaging equipment would rotate in three planes. The bed too could move forwards and backwards. This allowed those operating the apparatus to give the doctor images from almost anywhere. They could place the transmitter anywhere from my chin pointing at my heart, to transmitting from my groin and any place to either side of that. Quite amazing actually.
In front of the doctor above my body were three monitors that could also be moved out of the way should it be required. This operation is, without a shadow of doubt, a joint effort involving a whole bunch of people. People on the other side of a wall with a large window in it, were working with the computers, while those in the room with us were doing all sorts of things, and then there was the cardiologist himself, doing all sorts of things all the while directing the others and telling me what was going on. After the initial tube insertion the rest was not painful and very interesting. I could even see the monitors and see where the narrowing of one artery was without even having to be shown. Doctor MC Cutcheon did a pressure test on either side of the restriction and found the pressure on the lower end was a little below what it should be but still well within acceptable levels. He turned to me and told me things were not bad, this could be treated with medication and wouldn't require open heart surgery. Whew! Good news indeed.
Post treatment.
Operation over and now time to get back onto the gurney I had arrived on. I was not allowed to bend the leg in which the tube inserted. In order to perform this particular type of surgery it is necessary to thin the blood considerably with some form of substance injected through the tube in my leg. The tube had to stay in my leg for six hours to ensure there would be no internal bleeding. For me to lie in one position for six hours is, I must admit, almost impossible. Once the tube was removed I would have to remain still so that no external nor internal bleeding could take place. This is a major artery and a bleed could very easily and very quickly lead to a final goodbye. Twelve hours, not six, how depressing but you know what? When you know your very life depends on it, you can do it, I did.
When I was wheeled back into the ICU ward they had re-coupled all the pipes and wires reapplying all those little sticky things that they attach wires to. Man, when they pull them off it really hurts. (I've got a very hairy chest.) Each day I was in intensive care a day shift sister was assigned to look after me exclusively. The same for night shift. There were, in retrospect, so many people involved with me. Absolutely amazing.
My ECG's and other things they were using to monitor all showed normal and stable so on Thursday morning when Doctor MC Cutcheon came to have a last look at me and I was discharged by about 9 in the morning. Before leaving I was visited by the Nutritionist and given some information on what to eat, when and what to avoid. This is after all a life changing event and trust me, everything changes.
So, if you have a heart attack anywhere in sub-equatorial Africa, this is pretty much what you can expect. Your condition before the attack and what it feels like, well that's how it felt to me, what to do as soon as possible, where to head for and who to ask for.
There are a huge number of people and other goings on that I have not told you about but that involves the reaction of myself since and that of my family and friends.
Just to let you know, I've stopped smoking, I eat much more healthily and way more expensively, am more connected to my widespread family but, most importantly, I'm way better connected to my God who has seen fit to give this stupid man a little more time here in the world. May I bring Him honor and praise from all who read this post.
Heart attacks aren't always fatal, just extremely uncomfortable and life changing.
This has been a very long post, especially written for those who have had a heart attack affect their families. Chin up knowing God himself will stand by you, because He loves you, Jesus told us that long ago.
Blessings from Geoff.

Midrand Presbyterian Church
|Midrand Presbyterian Church
Having been in Johannesburg now for a little over a year and spending almost every day at work I've not been able to find a church I want to be a part of. Nothing wrong with the churches, more to do with a lack of time and being too exhausted to go out looking. Having been raised by my parents in the Presbyterian church, I find I tend to return again and again to the same church each time I move home, in my case many, many times through my life. I am a Presbyterian, no doubt about it. Anyway, this morning I Googled "Midrand Presbyterian Church" and found this church just a few miles from home so off I went. When I arrived I was impressed by the number of people there and their young ages, compared to the average age of congregants at one other Presbyterian church I had visited about eighteen months ago in Edenvale where everyone was quite a bit older than even me. Then I went inside. Oh Wow! Talk about going back in time. What a magnificent building.
|The pipe organ
The sermon itself (2 Timothy 3 v 1-5 & 10-17)was about the end times and how mankind was only interested in himself, pretty much how I tend to see this world we live in. Did it speak to my heart? Like bells on a church calling worshipers.

On faith and the law
|image source http://mndgmzministries.org/2014/03/
Do you love your children? Of course you do. Would you say your love for your children is dependent on their deeds or works? "Bad child I will no longer love you because you didn't sweep the floor as the house rules dictate you have to do." How insane is that.
|image source http://todaysfreshmanna.wordpress.com/2013/10/30/gods-loving-touch/
One day a few years ago, after I had had a huge fight with God, I was very down and despondent thinking that the God of creation, He who had formed me in my mother's womb and to whom I owed everything, could never love me again nor could He possibly forgive my irreverent and outrageous arrogance in fighting with Him. I was walking around the farm lamenting my unjustified outburst wishing it had never happened. I was talking to the Lord saying "I'm so sorry Lord, I know you can't forgive me, please take my life now so I can go to where I'm bound, in hell, and be done with my pathetic life." This went on for hours and hours.
I think, after a while, He became quite frustrated with me because, all of a sudden, the following words came to mind: "Do you love your children?" Well yes, of course I do. "Would you still love your child if, when drunk and having been abused, belittled and mocked and in a very bad emotional state, he fought with you, called you a liar and swore at you?" "Well would you forgive him and still love him?" Yes, of course I would. "Would you sent that child to hell for one outburst or would you write it off understanding that he was not in his right mind at the time." No Lord, I would never send my children to hell. I would forgive them no matter what they did to me, I love them. "In the same way I love you and have forgiven you long ago. I will not send you to hell to pay for something you did in extreme distress, I love you too much to do that just as you would forgive your children no matter what."
|image source http://christianinspirationalquotes.tumblr.com/post/78606848716
I do not consider myself to be a righteous person, certainly not lovable nor even likable and yet God, the creator of the entire universe and everything and everyone therein, tells me He loves me and has plans to prosper me and not to harm me.
God obviously sees something in me worth loving, even though I don't. Well Lord, I will trust your judgement above my own, thank you.
God's love for his children is not based on our following his law and our attempts to obey but on our faith in His love for us and trust that He is faithful to us in all circumstances even though we go way off course and do things that break His heart.
God is love. Love is enduring, forgiving and the strongest force in all the universe, way stronger than fear or hatred. I love the Lord, I love my children and to be quite honest I love you.
Will you have faith that God loves you as much as you love your children, even more? Have faith in His love and trust that no matter what, His love for you will overcome even your worst situation? God's love is all you need to get through this difficult life. He really does love you.
Lord God almighty thank you for this astounding love and gentle care for all of us. May your kingdom come and may all of humanity finally realize that you are so in love with us your creation. Bless you so much Lord, Geoffrey.

2015, What will happen this year?
Well this year, I would like to get back to where I was a while ago, as far as writing blog posts is concerned. 2014 was a rather disjointed year for me. No more walks on the beach with God, no more walks up the hill on the farm and saddest of all, no more friends to sit and chat about God with.
I've been told by quite a few people who have moved vast distances from their usual homes that the first year was their most difficult to cope with, me too.
We closed up shop on the twelfth of December after having about six stores postpone their shopfitting work till this year, I was so glad. The first two days of leave I slept, that's how exhausted I was, but I'm rested now and ready to get to it again on Monday. We had been working every day for four months, seven in the morning till six at night seven days a week, phew.
My brother's wife Tracey is still undergoing radiation treatment for lymph cancer, not much change yet, we'll see in due course but apart from her fear of dying she seems to be in good spirits.
James, my son, is in London right now having returned from Washington and New York. He'll be going to visit my sister in France on his way back to Cape town.
The rains came rather lat this year, I think the first storm we had was on the tenth of November. Wow, has it rained or has it rained? This afternoon the freeways going into Johannesburg were closed due to flash flooding, who would have thunk of such a thing. Gauteng in winter is SO dry, nothing to photograph, no mushrooms, flowers, insects and so on, all my favorite subjects. The mushrooms above were photographed on the small holding, where I live in Mid Rand yesterday, hard to find and very small. In summer this place has thunderstorms every day from about three in the afternoon till about seven and then it clears up during the night with bright sunshine in the morning, very different from Cape Town where the rainy season is in winter, which I prefer.
|My new home
I think for today I'm going to call it a day. It'll take a while for me to get back into blogging again but I do think that your support while I was having such a hard time in Cape Town kept me going and having a platform for my pictures certainly motivated my photography. thank you for that.
May the Lord bless and keep you all in 2015 as He has kept me and blessed me all these years.
Lots of love, Geoff.

Waterkloof air-force base Aerospace airshow 2014
|Pitt special
As you know by now, I really do enjoy taking pictures but these aircraft are quick and finding them in the view finder takes a little skill and lots of luck. I was using a Canon 18 to 200mm lens, quite heavy and without a tripod a bit shaky but what beautiful pictures. There are a few things I would do differently next time, slow the shutter speed from 1/4000 second to about 1/ 1000 second so that the propellers would be a bit blurry. These pictures look like they have been photo-shopped in, otherwise they are pretty good in my opinion.
|Rhino anti-poaching unit with dogs on skids.
One of the thoughts that kept bouncing around in my head was how terrorized people living around a hundred years ago would have been by this incredibly noisy aerial display, can you imagine?
One of the exercises performed was the Rhino anti-poaching unit display using helicopters and dogs. It was very impressive. What happened was they came in with the choppers and the soldiers rappelled to the ground with a German Sheppard harnessed to them. Once on the ground the dogs were released, taking about 15 seconds to release, and off they went after the poachers. Two dogs and two poachers in full dog training padding. Unfortunately for one of the poachers, the dogs saw only him so he had two dogs attacking him at the same time, very scary indeed. Those of us in the group I was with had a good laugh watching him trying to get away, very funny to watch. He was not injured in any way, just in case you were wondering.
|Harvards in formation fly by.
|Saab Gripen fighter aircraft
There were commentators telling the crowd what to expect next with the pilots radio communications also audible, very interesting. Lots of stunt flying, Pitt specials flying in formation and then breaking away with, of course, the obligatory smoke trails. Hearts in smoke with smoke arrows, oh how the girls in the crowd cheered when they saw that.
So what do you think of my photographs so far?
And on a final note, I am so amazed that God invented flying so long ago, no need to be terrorized, just amazed will do.
Blessings to all, Geoff.

Do you guys know of any quality screen protector that won't edge up even when using the above mentioned case? I'm OK with either a normal screen protector or plexi/ tempered glass as long as its nice.
Thanks a bunch guys!

Quiz: Remember the definition of mal de mer?
ancient district and modern nomos (department) of the southwestern Peloponnese, Greece, bounded on the east by the Taygetus Mountains (Taiyetos Oros), on the north by the Nedha Potamos (river) and the Arcadian mountains, and on the south and west by the Ionian Sea. Kalamai, at the head of the Messiniakos Kolpos (gulf), is the departmental capital. The heart of the province is the plain of Messenia, or Pamisos River Valley, historically one of the most fertile in Greece. It produces oranges, citrons, almonds, figs, grapes, and olives of the highest quality for export. It is bounded on the north by Tetrazion Oros and on the west and southwest by the foothills of the Kiparissias Ori. Off the southwest coast of the Akritas peninsula lie the three Oinousai islands and the islet of Venetiko. The most notable of Messenia's Neolithic and Bronze Age settlements is the magnificent Mycenaean palace of Nestor north of Pylos (Pilos) on the Ionian Sea, discovered in 1939.
