Rated 2 out of 5 by peggymg One Night after Vaca The room certainly met my expectations, however the common areas including elevators, hallways and concession areas were very dirty. There was litter and debris along the entire length of the hall on the Club Floor where I stayed. And the elevators were dirty and unkempt as well. Finally, the Ice Maker on my floor was out of order and there wasn't an Out of Order sign or any other indicator. I've stayed at this hotel in the past and was very pleased. I trust that the conditions I noted above were as of result of a temporary staffing shortage. With that in mind, I will reluctantly recommend this hotel should anyone ask, and will stay again when I'm in Philadelphia. August 26, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by Angel2008 Needs Improvement This hotel did not meet my expectations for a Sheraton. The bed was either too soft or too hard in places. Was like part of it was used and the other part wasn't - was uncomfortable and not good for my back. The ice maker on my floor didn't work until the last night. The hotel charged for internet service which was ridiculous. I have been at cheaper hotels that provide it free. Room not as clean as could have been, not bad but not totally clean. Service at the restaurant was good but food was not great. August 26, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by Chicagoflyer Needs help Dirty - fingerprints on the doors for days without being cleaned, elevators never get cleaned. Had a used bar of soap in my shower. Front desk is just unfriendly and they hate their jobs. August 24, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Temple This hotel has a great resturant Great food, Great service. August 24, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Jimmy4000 extras a concern I was shocked that I would have had to pay for parking. Staff waived fee, but it seems like it would anger a lot of guests. Staff also gave me access code for internet as SPC. Once again, it was nice of staff, but maybe should have been free all along. All staff were excellent. Pool was not heated. Gym was well equipped.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Mali Hotel has a good location We were part of a wedding party and were very satisfied with room and the brunch served in ballroom the next morning. August 18, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by MONSTRO Never again I gave this place another chance and it was actually worse than the time before. First of all, it's dirty. The same smashed crackers that i saw on the floor in the hallway were still there 2 days later. Here is the horror story: A friend of mine was booked down the hall from me. He wiped his mouth on one of the small towels while eating one night. The next day after his room was "cleaned" he grabbed a small towel and it was the same ketchup stained towel that he had thrown on the floor the night before. This hotel should not be allowed to be affiliated with SPG any more. Three stays there and it got progressively worse. Shame on the management of this hole. August 15, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by DN25 Old. Needs updating. Must say the staff was very pleasant and helpful. The hotel however, is in need of some significant help. Old and stained carpet. Hallways in need of paint and upkeep. Thin towels. Just not pleasant and up to SPG standards. August 14, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Foodie1234 Mixed experience @ Philadelphia Downtown We usually love staying at Sheraton hotels, and looked forward to our stay here. The lobby was beautiful. But the lady who checked us in at the front desk started our experience with a negative impression. She was not helpful, did not offer any benefits/upgrades with our SPG status (even though it was pretty obvious to us by the parking lot that the hotel was not full), and she was seen rolling her eyes with attitude when dealing with other customers. On the other hand, the bell staff and concierge were great--very friendly, personable and accommodating to our needs. When we got to our room, we found a wet rag hanging on the shower curtain rod--must have been left by the cleaning staff. This was removed the next day when they returned to clean the room. The pool and exercise facilities was very nice, and well stocked with towels. The parking lot was run down and needs repair. Some elevators were nice and clean, whereas others had litter on the carpeted floor. All in all, we enjoyed our stay. The positives did outweigh the few negatives we experienced. Next time we are in Philly, I think we would consider staying here again. August 13, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by ChrisD1 Not up to par I had high hopes for this hotel, but was very disappointed. I arrived close to midnight, and there is no food service after 11pm (lobby bar closes at midnight) and no mini-bar/snacks in the room. My shower was broken, and it took 2 calls to have it fixed. I also required a refrigerator for medication. One was brought fairly quickly, but it turned out (as I discovered later) to be non-operational. It was replaced with a unit that froze and ruined my medicine (at a moderate setting on the bottom of the unit). Having a "club floor" room meant only that I had to wait longer for an elevator- I saw a room on a "regular floor" that was EXACTLY the same size/layout. And even though the room was apparently renovated recently, it still felt very worn and dated. A big disappointment all around. August 12, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by McLovin00 Great for visiting Philly My wife and I booked a last minute room here on our weekend to Philadelphia and were very pleasantly surprised. The Sheraton is going through some renovation, so there were some scaffolding and construction going on, but overall the changes look great. The hotel is in an excellent location, walking distance to area museums including the art museum. It's a short walk to area restaurants and a short cab hoop to night life and Old City. We had a junior suite which faced South. It was spacious, very comfortable bed, had a nice sitting area with fridge, and had great views. It was surprisingly quiet as well. The front desk was very nice and I observed a night desk person be very patient with a drunk patron. For SPG members with status, there is a concierge lounge on the 26th floor which offers free breakfast, and I believe some apps in evenings on certain days. The free stuff is ok, but the view from the room is worth a visit. Overall exceeded expectations, and would visit again! August 12, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by AADE2013 Where's the wifi Only complaint was the high cost of wifi. Most hotel chains that I have stayed at offer free wi fi. I expected more from a Sheraton. On a good note...had nothing to keep me leashed to my room!! Very comfortable beds! August 11, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by Bailey1825 Good not great. I stayed only 1 night because my wife was at Magee Rehab and I had to pick her up early in the morning. The Hotel was nice not great. Parking is $38 for self parking and $44 for valet. the hallways on the 7th floor where dirty, the exercise faculties had a lot of machines for a hotel. However make sure you bring you own ear buds in case you find one of the TV's that works. Also at night there was no water cups had them in the morning. They also had no disinfecting wipes to clean the equipment when you are done. They had plenty of towels and chilled wash rags. The pool area is average size, however the base of the pool was dirty and the water was chilly. The room was nice no complaints. They allowed me to check in early, and have a nice flat screen tv. Nice desk wifi is $9.95 a day. It is just a short walk to city hall and plenty of activities and restaurants. August 9, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by Umderwhelmed Nothing Special Renovations were taking place inside and out.When I checked into my room, the toilet seat was barely in place. I had to fix it myself. The vending machine on my floor (11) was not working. Drinks at the lobby bar were tremendously expensive. Overall just not one of my better Sheraton experiences. August 5, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by Penny24 Not what you would expect I would begin by saying the staff were wonderful, from check in, to concierge, to the lovely waitress offering complimentary coffee, to check out. But, unfortunately the hotel was not what we expected for the cost. The hallways were dingy with peeling wallpaper, the furniture was stained and the room was small. In addition, although the room was a no smoking room, the smell of stale cigarette smoke was very strong and must have been in the carpets and draperies as it did not dissipate. Parking was not free for hotel guests and WiFi was expensive. Overall, this was a disappointing stay. July 31, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by Sisters2 Needs Improvement For Price but Overall Ok Hotel was still underconstruction, the bar area was nice. However, the bathroom sink and counters are very low, There also were some maintenance issues that was resolved my management. Not sure if I would stay again. July 29, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by Visitor2601 Total Dissappointment We have stayed at this hotel several times before in the past. But this time it was very disappointing. We were given a room on the 4th floor. When we walked in the room looked cleaned. However, when i looked up at the ceiling where the AC vent was blowing, you can see dirty dust ball hanging from the popcorn ceiling. What makes it worse is the location of all the dust balls were directly on top of the headboard area! If the Sheraton didnt advertise as PURE AIR in the room, I think it I wouldnt have made such a big deal, but the fact that they do I find it ironic. We did complain to the front desk and showed the manger the dust balls and says he will have housekeeping clean it up and gave us another room. The 2nd room we went to had the same issue as the first, however, the AC vent in the 2nd room was next to the desk/TV instead of the bed, the dirty dust balls on the ceiling were hanging on top of the TV instead of the bed. Another thing we use to enjoy at this hotel was their pool. Also highly disappointing as well. Water was not as warm as it was and it was murky. Granted the pool was packed with kids, but I gather they would have been more diligent in cleaning and chlorinating it when the pool closed in the evening. July 29, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by tamdot Souring on Sheraton My second stay at a Sheraton in 2 weeks and I'm more disappointed. Trash from the previous occupant was in the room. I never received a bill under the door, and the video check out did not work. When I called to get a copy of the bill, the front desk didn't seem to care. I'll be thinking long and hard before staying at this Sheraton again or anything else in the chain. July 29, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by CON2013 disappointing service I arrived with 2 children and a lot of luggage at a slow time in the evening. I wasn't offered any help; the door man did open the door but that was it. We had a lot of issues with our keys not working and having to go to the desk to get them reset. Your fee for internet is outrageous, especially charging for each individual device. Staff was semi apologetic when we had significant issues with rooms not being ready for our staff. July 26, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by Mike33434 Dated Big Old Hotel one towel per adult SPG counter staff at check-in was GREAT and check-out was good, BUT no recognition as an SPG member either at check-in or check-out. NO check out invoice under door on the morning; poor. I stayed on the Club Floor for two nights. Room reserved for two adults; only 1 bath towel & 1 hand towel per adult in the bathroom; all other hotels I stay at these past years give 2+ or 3+ per adult in the bathroom, and BETTER towels too. Only 1 bath towel & 1 hand towel is so 1950s. Club Room breakfast was ALL removed before 11AM on Sunday; bad form on a weekend! Think this large hotel had 6 or 8 elevators. Heard in-elevator complaints from other Club floor guests (26th fl) that only 3 elevators were working, hence every trip down was a "local" with 10+ stops on the way down! POOR elevator service from the Club Floor! Why isn't there a Club Floor Elevator with bypass for the lower floors; otherwise what's the point of being "special" and paying more for the 26th floor! There was no small "dorm room" fridge in the room which was otherwise nicely appointed. I missed having the small fridge in the room to keep waters and soda cold. Speaking of fridges: only one of the two small cabinet fridges in the Club Lounge were working; one kept the waters chilled the other warmed them up; you could FEEL the hot air being blown from out-of this fridge. I'm amazed that the night security guard who came into the Club Lounge to get his water on Friday night didn't report this nor that the Lounge staff who kept this fridge refilled with water bottles didn't report it as broken. Oh wait! Maybe the Lounge is supposed to serve HOT and COLD waters; I didn't think of that possibility. This hotel is old and dated. It was probably great in the day, like in the 1950s; but it's a dated relic today that happens to occupy a great location. Location is really the only thing going for it. July 24, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by nessayaya Overall Not Happy I was disappointed from the start. Rooms not ready, the desk said. Then there was not a room, the desk said, even though reservations made 3 months ago. dirty, not prepared for a convention group. 3 elevators not working. broke a glass in my room and it took 2 calls and 6 hrs to get addressed. July 23, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by DisappointedTraveler404 Under construction I've stayed in many Sheratons across the country and this was the worst one ever. The staff was good to great. The facility was very run down and parts were under construction. Extremely loud coke machine outside my door, no ironing board (took them 2 days to find one), no ice machine on my floor, they delivered a baby crib to my room the last night... So I found it when I got to the room at 11pm, the pillows were way to soft, two of the 6 elevators did not work (the hotel was full)And the food in the coffee shop (Resturant under construction) was flavorless. In general, a lot to pay for the Sheraton experience and not get it. July 22, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by MamaMia This hotel was not what I expected One of the most important factors that I look at when I stay at a hotel is whether or not the hotel is clean. This hotel is unsatisfactory as far as cleanliness. The hallways are very dirty and had the same trash items laying on the floor for my whole four day stay. My room had a pretzel on the floor when we arrived and it was still there when we checked out four days later. Toilet paper was not replenished when used and I needed to call the desk to get more. One of the days when we returned to our room there was blood on a blanket and I needed to call the desk to get that replaced. Not sure what the housekeeping did that got blood on the blanket. The front desk staff were very friendly and accomodating each time I called to them. July 22, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by PriceDav Not Worth The Hassle When I checked in I was given a room with two beds. I called the front desk to inquire about a room with one large bed and was told there were none available. This would have been OK except a co-worker made the same request after I did and received a room with a King Size Bed. So for the next five nights me and my husband had to share a full size bed. For a downtown hotel with over 18 floors, I find it hard to believe your staff could not accomidate us, considering we made the reservation a full 3 months in advance. Then to have a single co worker be given a room we requested added insult to injury. I'll would never in a million years recommend a this hotel. The only good thing about this hotel was the cleaning staff, July 22, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by Davepchicago Hotel needs a system and facility makeover Basically we had mostly bad experiences. 1. Room not ready early as requested; that was ok, but then still not ready until management intervened 1 and 1/2 hours after 3:00 check in....so we waited a total of 4.5 hours. 2. bed was broke, took three tries/days, till it was fixed. 3. WIFI signals need an upgrade throughout. 4. Alright to be in construction but elevators, halls were dirty; room after we dusted ourselves with a towel had been filthy. July 22, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by DisappointedConfMember Construction? Rooms Need Cleaning The hotel knew it had a large convention coming, yet they had a lot of construction and 3 of the 6 elevators were not working. If this is their idea of planning, they are sorely lacking. No restaurant available, really? When I entered my room, it appeared to be clean, until I opened the frig and found old food in there, dirty towels in the bathroom and I don't think they know how to vaccum. Go somewhere else if you need a hotel. July 22, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by mb5673 Mixed Bag My experience mixed the mark, but not by much. The hotel being under construction must be considered, in the overall experience, its one of those damned if you do and damned if you don't. I think we all agree that its important to upgrade the facility, but during the summer? during convention season. Why not wait for winter when the city slows down. In either case the experience and high expectations of a Sheraton was disappointing. The rates should be reflect the value of the visual experience not realized, perhaps it was in which case it should have been communicated. The restaurant did not serve dinner which was surprising and reflects a second rate hotel which Sheraton is not known for, fortunately several hotels in the area provided restaurants in the area. My question is do you really want your guests in other hotels eating and taking in their experience. Hotel provided six elevators, with only four working. Usually, that would more than suffice, expect if there is a conference in town, which happened to be the case. This was more than an inconvenience when I had to stand in line to get an elevator go to my room, find out the key did not work and stand in line again. The room was average - above average, certainly met expectations for the price point, expect for the additional unwanted guest which came in at 7:00 in the morning. Once the staff was made aware of this, they compensated me with a drink at the bar. If I would have been an irate customer, I feel certain the staff would have accommodated me with larger compensation, but do you really want the staff to deal with irate customer? The demographics of a Sheraton customer reflects more of the customer who would just take their business elsewhere, because they can. I'm sure front desk deals with irate customers, but why not compensate them with perhaps a voucher for a free continental breakfast or give them an option. At night construction noise was reverberating throughout the room and certainly other rooms heard this noise as well. The third night, I realized that the noise emanated in the plumping, I don't believed it was construction. It was a consistent series of noise that repeated itself every 1.5 hours. As I exited the room, a lovely house manager was there and I explained to her the noise. She apologized and made note of it. To my dismay, as she looked into the matter I was scheduled to check-out, which was not the case. I showed her my on-line paperwork and she immediately took care of the matter with a phone call to the front desk. All of this is unusual for a Sheraton experience, and a lot of it, just happens. The combination of all the circumstances, made the Sheraton just miss the mark. . July 22, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by James1020 Excellent central location Stayed four nights in July 2013. Good central location. Mary in Concierge was a huge help for site seeing and dinner reservations. Room was comfortable, restaurant had excellent buffet breakfast. AC did not work upon arrival and was repaired within a couple of hours. Front desk manager called, apologized, and comped our next morning breakfast. All employees were very polite and helpful. Would definitely stay at this location again. July 22, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Ed1957 CEO We were assigned to the Hotel for a conference and the service was outstanding. .there were a few issues with cleanliness and remodel but the staff attentiveness fare outweighed the problems. I would definitely recommend the hotel to friends July 22, 2013

The Little Free Library Book by Margret Aldrich
In 2009, Todd Bol built the first Little Free Library in his front yard as a tribute to his mother, a schoolteacher. It was a small, weatherproof box in the shape of a one-room schoolhouse with a simple message: "Take a book, return a book." Inspired by the positive response of his neighbors, Bol built more libraries, and a grassroots literary movement was born. As of 2015, an estimated 25,000 Little Free Libraries are in operation across the globe—in small towns without a public library and busy cities; in refugee camps and police stations; front yards and local parks. (Locally, Upper Arlington is home to four Little Free Libraries, while nearby Clintonville is home to six.) The Little Free Library Book tells the story of the movement's beginning and showcases the libraries—and stories—of dozens of library stewards. The book also includes helpful tips and information for those interested in starting their own library.
The Real Doctor Will See You Shortly: A Physician's First Year
What if the mistakes you made at work were life and death? What if forgetting a step didn't mean a customer might get his mocha without espresso but that his brain might begin filling with blood? What if a clumsy moment could mean injecting yourself with a deadly virus?
These are exactly the kinds of scenarios that Dr. Matt McCarthy faces during his first year as a medical intern. In his humorous and transparent memoir of the experience, Dr. McCarthy keeps his readers on the edge of their seats, alternately prompting them to laugh, to cry, and to ponder the deep questions of life.
If you've ever wondered what it's really like to become a doctor, or if you just love a fast-paced, thought-provoking story, this is a book you should read.
Romantic Outlaws: the Extraordinary Lives of Mary Wollstonecraft and Her Daughter Mary Shelley by Charlotte Gordon
Mary Wollstonecraft and her daughter Mary Shelley never knew each other. Mary W. died giving birth to her daughter Mary Shelley. Yet both women similarly defied convention, both became famous writers; both fell in love with brilliant but impossible authors; both were single mothers and had children out of wedlock; both broke out of the rigid conventions of their era and lived in exile; and both played important roles in the Romantic era during which they lived.
Gordon's book examines each in alternating chapters of the two women's lives. This might sound confusing to the reader but it is not. She presents the facts of each woman's life in a fascinating way that feels as if this biography is a novelization. Highly readable, highly recommended.

Update 2:
This is the most significant activity I've witnessed at the Katla Volcano since the last update, and whether or not this raises the odds of an imminent eruption remain to be seen; there have been a few earthquake swarms and other seismic activity since the last update, but nothing significant enough to report upon. Today is different. This recent spate of activity began on September 1st when there was a Magnitude 3.2 quake in Katla's caldera. Prior to that, The Global Volcanism Program noted that:
From 18 July until mid-August, ten new ice cauldrons formed along the W, S, and E borders of the Mýrdalsjökull caldera (figure 3), signifying increased geothermal activity along a large part of the caldera rim. Changes on the icecap surface have been reported for some of the earlier eruptions of Katla, and the current activity could be a possible long-term precursor to a new eruption. A flight over the area on 9 September by Reynir Ragnarsson at Vík, revealed that the ice cauldrons did not develop much after mid-August. (My emphasis) MUCH MORE
Seismic activity is still rising at Katla and you can view the activity at this LINK. What makes today's activity especially notable was reported on by Jón Frímann wherein he presents evidence of inflation within the Katla Volcano:
Inflation starts in Katla volcanoPosted on September 3, 2011 by Jón Frímann(Excerpts)
There seems to be inflation going on in Katla volcano, at least according to the automatic GPS data that IMO has on it's web site. But this might be error in the data. But for the moment I do not think it is. But please do look at this data with the view that it might be wrong.
The inflation appears clearly on Lágu Hvolar GPS station. Copyright of this image belongs to Iceland Met Office. There are graphs and charts when you read the full story on the author's site.
The inflation can be seen on Lágu Hvolar and Sólheimaheiði GPS stations. But it appears to be more clear at HVOL GPS station. But that is most likey because that GPS station is closer to the magma pocket in question that creates this movement.
The inflation also appears on Sólheimaheiði GPS station. But not as clearly as on Lágu Hvolar GPS station. Copyright of this image belongs to Iceland Met Office.
What might be the critical inflation before a eruption starts is hard to know until it happens. For Eyjafjallajökull volcano that was 60mm, for Grímsfjall volcano the inflation was actually 350mm. But that volcano had eruptions that did not change it's inflation numbers. I do not know why Grímsfjall volcano is so different in this respect from other volcanoes in Iceland (that I know of so far). LINK TO FULL ARTICLE:
The historical data noted in this and prior articles is highly suggestive of a Katla eruption occurring approximately one to one and a half years after an Eyjafjallavökull eruption, and we sit right smack in that time zone. This recent activity is notable enough to warrant continued monitoring but is not necessarily indicative of an imminent eruption. In the same breath, Katla could erupt at any time with little or no warning, although this time she does seem to be sending up red flags. If anything significant changes we will update the story again.
There appears to have been a small eruption at the Katla Volcano last night, which could be insignificant, or it could herald the full scale awakening of one of Iceland's most dangerous volcanoes:
Possible small eruption in Katla volcano, small glacier flood followed itPosted on July 9, 2011 by Jón Frímann
It seems that an small eruption took place in Katla volcano caldera during the night. At the moment it seems to be over. But it is hard to be sure. According to Icelandic news there where three newly formed cauldrons in the Mýrdalsjökull glacier. The eruption is unlikely to break the glacier at current time if it remains small. Newest news reports say that cracks have formed in the glacier around the cauldrons.
Evacuations are currently taking place in Álftaver, Þakgil and any other place that might be danger. People how are close to affected rivers from Mýrdalsjökull are urged to get away from them due to danger of dangerous gases in the glacier water.
The bridge over Múlakvísl is gone, it did vanish the flood water early this morning. According to the news the bridge got flooded around 03:00 UTC last night. This means that Road 1 is closed in this area.
Currently earthquake activity continues in Katla volcano caldera. But the tremor has been dropping for the past few hours after it topped around 03:00 UTC last night.
The tremor has dropped, but is not down to background levels yet. This might be small eruption for the moment. But I fear that might change in the next hours to few days. There is also an big risk of new floods from Mýrdalsjökull glacier due to this small eruption, or if new fissures open up at new places. MORE Plus Graphs and Charts
We will update this page as soon as we have more information. Actually, we missed this important report that mirrors our beliefs in regard the Katla Volcano. Even though there are increasing signs of an imminent eruption, nothing is appearing in the MSM. I'm betting that politicians don't want to rattle the global economy and may be sacrifycing the positive results of being prepared versus politics, where profit is more precious than life itself:
Quake-hit Iceland volcano Katla shows strengthening signs of eruption
Iceland's massive Katla volcano is showing increasing signs of a possible eruption following an intense week of earthquakes and tremors.
The feared volcano was struck by a magnitude 3.2 earthquake last night as experts believe magma is slowly filling inside the mountain, giving rise to fears the volcano could soon erupt.
The latest quake follows a week of increasing activity with official reports of harmonic tremors and earthquake swarms.
Observers have been closely watching Katla since July when the volcano showed the first signs of increased activity.
Last weekend, the Icelandic Met Office confirmed two swarms of earthquakes in Katla and on Wednesday night, a harmonic tremor – a potential indicator to an eruption – was detected.
Last night's stronger earthquake was picked up in the volcano's caldera – its magma chamber.
Katla, which has not experienced a significant eruption for 93 years, is the second largest volcano on Iceland and its eruption will be felt across Europe.
Last year, the country's president Ólafur Grímsson warned "the time for Katla to erupt is coming close, Iceland has prepared and it is high time for European governments and airline authorities all over Europe and the world to start planning for the eventual Katla eruption". FULL STORY HERE:
An eruption of Iceland's Katla Volcano wouldn't surprise anyone who has studied this phenomena, however, the European Community will likely be shocked and unprepared for the ferocity of a major Katla Eruption. Whether the eruption is "major" remains to be seen, but whether or not Katla will erupt is inevitable – if you believe history:
Katla: the sleeping sister
Katla has erupted 16 times since 930, in 1755 exploding so violently that its ash settled on parts of Scotland. In 1918, Katla tore chunks of ice the size of houses from the Myrdalsjökull glacier atop it, sending them careening down its slopes and into the Atlantic on floods of melted glacier water.
While Eyjafjallavökull is virtually anonymous in Icelandic lore, Katla is one of the "Angry Sisters" along its even-more active twin, Hekla.
The 1918 eruption was the last major eruption of Katla – a volcano that has erupted twice a century, on average – which is why scientists have paid particularly close attention to it in recent days.
But while earth beneath Eyjafjallajökull trembled with thousands of small earthquakes in the months before the eruption – signaling that magma was welling up beneath the volcano – scientists have not seen the same activity at Katla yet. LINK
This post is meant to be a warning to those whom follow this site and are aware that we publish fact backed up by solid substantiation, or in the alternative, especially as it concerns the Katla Volcano, solid historical evidence and data that supports the fact that Katla usually erupts approximately one year to a year and a half after the Eyjafjallajökull Volcano erupts. There are still minor earthquakes every day which indicates that magma is moving into and through the caldera and other geological mechanisms which make this beast so dangerous.
Remember, the Eyjafjallajökull Volcano erupted in April of 2010, therefore, an eruption could occur at any time. We have posted this information because of the increased seismic activity at Katla which, coupled with past eruptions and the amount of time since Eyjafjallajökull erupted, it's a good bet that Katla will live up to her reputation and provide us with another spectacular eruption. Please note that these earthquakes are of a small magnitude – which demonstrates that magma is likely rising to the surface – which often precedes a volcanic eruption.
NOTE: The article quoted above was from April of 2010; several "experts" and even the people of Iceland believed that an eruption was eminent back then while we remained extremely skeptical. Even then, we believed that a Katla eruption would follow the Eyjafjallajökull eruption, but not nearly as soon as others believed… We still believe that to predict our future, it is of tantamount importance to understand our past.
Please excuse the egg on my face… I put a lot of effort and research into the above article – and then published a draft. Yep, I threw out the article and published a draft that wasn't finished – and then didn't catch the mistake until two days ago. If I would have caught this soon enough I would have just deleted the piece, but in an age where nothing goes away on the Internet it makes better sense to admit the mistake and move on. Please excuse my non-post and hopefully, I have learned a hard lesson and this mistake will not be repeated.
One last thought – what is "Imminent," especially when speaking about a volcanic eruption? Even though most volcanic eruptions are preceded by earthquakes and bulging of the caldera – in approximately ten to fifteen percent of the cases there is no warning of an eruption whatsoever and any volcano can explode without so much as a minor quake. As it concerns the Katla Volcano, I believe that "imminent" is a period not to exceed six months and three to four months would probably fit better with the history of the volcano.

Future of Health Care Law Without Individual Mandate Debated
News from RedOrbit:
January 29, 2012
Even if the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act's (PPACA) mandate requiring U.S. citizens to carry health care coverage is deemed unconstitutional, the remainder of the law can be salvaged, lawyers representing the Obama administration told the Supreme Court on Friday.
Twenty six states and the National Federation of Independent Business have challenged the legality of the PPACA's individual mandate, which would require Americans to either purchase health insurance by 2014 or pay an annual penalty, according to Reuters reporter James Vicini.
On Friday, though, attorneys representing the President argued that those parties have failed to prove that Congress would have wanted to overturn the entire law if the individual mandate was found to be unconstitutional, Vicini said. In a written brief, they reportedly claimed that all but two provisions of the law can effectively be separated from that portion of the PPACA.
"Many provisions of the act, focused on controlling costs, improving public health and other objectives, have no connection to insurance coverage at all," Solicitor General Donald Verrilli wrote in that brief, according to Reuters. "And Congress directed that much of the act take effect several years before the minimum coverage provision's effective date, fur…………… continues on RedOrbit

And the Most Popular Day to Get Married This Year Is…
Are you getting married this weekend? If so, you're not alone! Turns out 6/14/14 is the most popular day this year to marry. In fact, there are more than 26,000 couples on TheKnot.com with that wedding date!
It's not so surprising that many couples are saying "I do" this weekend, since summer has always been the most popular season for nuptials, but fall weddings are actually on the rise. Last year, the most popular wedding date was in October. And the most coveted wedding dates depend on where you're located. High wedding season in the South is in November and December, while venues in most other areas of the country are in high demand for the summer months. Meaning, if you're looking to potentially save on your venue or wedding pros, consider having your wedding during the off-season or on a less popular day of the week, like a Friday or Sunday, when there's less demand.
Our advice to you if you've always dreamed of a summertime wedding? Book early! You'll be competing with thousands of other couples, so save-the-date (and the venue) early!
Happy wedding weekend to all our 6/14 Knotties!

Jupiter in Cape Town's Space Orbit: April Fool's joke
Fazielah Williams
Fazielah Williams has lived in and loved her Mother City since birth. Having lived all over the Peninsula during her childhood, she now calls the picturesque City Bowl home and likes nothing more than watching the sun set over Table Bay from the window of her apartment.
A lover of the arts and proud Cape Town fanatic, Fazielah began her writing career by spending many hours as a child conjuring fantastical stories that featured independent heroines from faraway lands who saved the Prince instead. This Capetonian princess has enjoyed stints as a magical arts PRO and TV publicist before finding her calling as a travel writer.
When not waxing lyrical about the Fairest Cape's most loved attractions and activities and embarking on unexpected adventures, Fazielah can usually be found taking in a show at one of the City's fabulous theatres.
On Monday 1 April, 2013, we reported, via our Twitter and Facebook channels, on what looked to be the planet Jupiter in the sky above our beloved Mother City. And boy, did the video footage below look realistic:
But, of course, it was all an April Fool's joke. The planetary sighting was indeed a photographic illusion created by local production house August and inspired by their recently created series of video installations for Tjing Tjing, a popular city centre hotspot.
You, our clever Mother City-loving fanatics, weren't fooled at all and had quite a bit to say about this astronomical hoax:
"It's a phenomenon that occurs every 10 000 at the start of Autumn in the S. Hemisphere called Photoshopus." – @diginza
"holy moly! Cape Town's huge amount of radness must've created a gravitational pull and brought Jupiter into our orbit!!! Who has a space machine, let's go visit, I'll bring beer." – @laurenfowler
"You cannot see other planets … their distance relative to earth does not allow us to see them with the naked eye ... Fool them all but not me ..." – Michael Scofield Balele
"It must be a Stormers jersey being thrown away and intercepted by the wind." – Johan Combrinck
We may not have had any special visitors from outer space, except perhaps for the Easter Bunny, but with 3 000 "planet sighting" video views and 85 Facebook shares, we definitely spread about some much-needed laughs on April Fool's Day.

A$AP Rocky Brixton Academy, May 21-22This Harlem-spawned rapper has stormed onto the scene over the past 12 months, buoyed by the renaissance of raw, gangster beats and the breakthrough of contemporaries like of Kendrick Lamar, Drake and Tyler the Creator. His slow drawling flows, heavy sunken beats and honest, often brutal lyrical content have made him one of hip hop's hottest properties. A laser-flinging, stadium-filling collaboration with producer Skrillex certainly hasn't harmed his mainstream appeal.

For Immediate Release: March 7, 2012
Providence, R.I. – Providence College has been selected as a recipient of the 2012 Senator Paul Simon Spotlight Award.
PC earned this prestigious honor for its Global Studies Program, an innovative educational experience that focuses on internationalization. Specifically, the global studies major invites students to learn about globalization from the dual perspective of the theory and praxis of global citizenship in local and international communities.
As an award recipient, PC, along with two other institutions, will be profiled in the National Association of Foreign Student Affairs (NAFSA) : Association for International Educators report, Internationalizing the Campus 2012: Profiles of Success at Colleges and Universities, which will be published in fall 2012. In addition, the College will be honored at an event in Washington, D.C., in November during International Education Week.
"We take such a collaborative approach in the Global Studies Program, so this award really is a recognition of how much can be accomplished when students, faculty, and community partners jointly work together toward a shared vision," said Dr. Nicholas Longo, director of the Global Studies Program at PC.
Initiated in 2005, the Program draws on concepts from disciplines across the humanities, political science, and economics to allow students to learn more about how societies around the world are converging and challenging geographic and political frontiers, while at the same time celebrating individuality. The Program examines the interconnectedness among individuals, communities, governments, and organizations across the world, and offers students theoretical and applied frameworks to understand the pillars of a globalized planet.
"Selection for the Senator Simon Spotlight Award is a recognition that our interdisciplinary Global Studies Program ranks among the very best. It is also external validation that international study—a requirement for the Program—is now truly an integral component of the academic experience for PC students. This is a great honor for the College and for the Program," said Adrian Beaulieu, dean of international studies at PC.
Named for the late Senator Paul Simon (D–Ill.), this award recognizes outstanding and innovative efforts in campus internationalization. It is presented to institutions for overall excellence in internationalization efforts as evidenced in practices, structures, philosophies, and policies.
Sen. Simon was well known as a strong supporter of international education and foreign language learning. The Simon Act is a congressional initiative to greatly expand study abroad opportunities for U.S. undergraduates. The bill has had strong bipartisan support in past sessions of Congress, and carries the endorsement of nearly 50 higher education and international education organizations.

Thank you both Brian & Kelly
Off to put these leanings into practice
Regards. Erica King. Melbourne Australia
Hey MWodies,
Today's mission begins a series with Brian MacKenzie of Crossfit Endurance about rebuilding your feet. We receive many questions about people's feet ranging from orthotics, to shoes, to bunions, to how to ween off high shoes, to how to stand. In later episodes we will cover mobilization and specific interventions to rebuild your weak feet.
Ps. Please keep the debate on ice raging. My favorite quote so far, "you can have my ice when your pry it from my cold dead hands." And by all means, as we have always maintained on this blog, Test/retest everything. We will try and and address your questions and comments in future episodes. Please keep it civil. We don't spam or block anyone with a civil voice.
We could really use better camera work on this video. There are so many crucial descriptions that are completely missed because we cannot see the instructor's example that he's making off camera.
Can you please elaborate on what "screwing your foot" into the ground means? It sounds like you should 1) locate a correct stance by squeezing the butt and tightening the abs 2) point your toes straight 3) rotate your foot away from the body (???)
Taking this to the next step, should I be doing this same type of rotation when I plant while running? When I squat? Or is this just an exercise to perform while standing?
Pingback: Your Feet! | Crossfit Saint John
Yes I would like to have a definition of screwing the feet down too, and better viewing examples,,,, Please…
What a terrible video. Bad camera work and bad instruction.

Leftheri "Teddy" Syrianos with one of the planters he made for the Bridgehampton Senior Nutrition Center for his Eagle Scout project. Photo by Stephen J. Kotz.
By Sam Mason-Jones
It has been a long struggle, but Leftheri "Teddy" Syrianos has finally obtained the highest rank in the Boy Scouts of America, that of an Eagle Scout.
Mr. Syrianos, 23, and his mother, Eleni Prieston, said this week that he had received notice from the organization's Suffolk County Council this spring that his application had finally been approved after six years of work.
Typically, a boy scout must complete the requirements for the Eagle rank by the time he is 18, but Mr. Syrianos, a member of Sag Harbor Troop 455, suffers from Asberger's Syndrome, a form of autism, which has made it difficult for Mr. Syrianos to communicate.
Mr. Syrianos said his struggle to obtain the rank of Eagle had taught him an important lesson. "If you are challenged, don't give up," he said.
"Everything is about communication—from making phone calls to meetings," said Ms. Prieston.
Like all candidates for the Eagle rank, Mr. Syrianos had to propose a project benefiting the community to the leaders of his troop. He decided to build three large planters, to be placed just outside the Bridgehampton Senior Nutrition Center on the Bridgehampton-Sag Harbor Turnpike.
The planters were designed by Mr. Syrianos with help from troop leader Tom Heine, an architect, David Harvey, also an architect and the father of another member of Mr. Syrianos's troop and Doug Alnwick, a Pierson High School shop teacher. They were constructed over two days in 2012 with help from members of the troop, family and friends, and members of the shop class at school with material donated by Jim Vacey of Water Mill Lumber.
Mr. Syrianos said he took great care in tailoring the design of his planters to the needs of their elderly users. He designed them to be somewhat elevated "so they can plant things and not have to bend over." he said, adding that he factored in enough space between the planters to provide access for a senior citizen in a wheelchair.
The goal, his mother said, was for the planters to be filled with vegetables the seniors could add to their daily meals at the center, but instead they have been planted with boxwood, andromeda and other deer-resistant plan
"We wanted to provide more than a beautification but an activity and a hobby," his mother Ms. Prieston added.
But to his surprise, when Mr. Syrianos went to his troop leaders to have his project approved, he was told it did not qualify.
Troop leaders declined to comment directly for this article but provided the following statement:
"To earn the Eagle Scout rank, the highest advancement rank in Scouting, a Boy Scout must fulfill many requirements. We give all our scouts a great deal of support and encouragement as they work through these. At times there may be differences of opinion as to whether the quality or execution of an experience has fulfilled the requirements for a rank. This it why the Boy Scout Guide to Advancement has solid procedures in place for scouts to be able to appeal decisions. It is a fair process and every scout is given due diligence by counselors, leaders, committees and boards of review."
Mr. Syrianos was not about to take no for an answer. With help from his mother, he appealed the troop's decision to the county level.
Over the course of an evening in mid-April, Mr. Syrianos stood before the Suffolk County Council, arguing that he required additional support in overcoming his disability, so he could provide the leadership required for the Eagle rank.
The council came down on Mr. Syrianos's side, agreeing that he had satisfied the requirements. In June, he received his Eagle pin and approval letter.
With his approval in hand, Mr. Syrianos said he can now look forward to planning his Court of Honor, at which an Eagle Scout is officially recognized for his accomplishments. He's hoping to have it have it this fall.

YIELD: Makes 6 individual soufflés
Melt 1 tbsp of the butter and add the garlic, 1/4 tsp salt, pepper to taste, 3/4 cup water and the vinegar. Simmer covered for 10 minutes, then uncover and boil till the water has evaporated. Add the milk, bring to the boil, then process in a blender. Measure 1 cup garlic-milk mixture.
Heat the remaining butter and stir in the flour and thyme. Cook for a minute, then make a white sauce by gradually stirring in the garlic milk till thick. Transfer to a big bowl, add the grated cheese, three-quarters of the Parmesan, then the egg yolks. Set aside.
Heat the oven to 350°F (325°F convection). Butter the individual soufflé dishes and dust the sides with the remaining Parmesan; if you have any left over, stir into the sauce. Set in a roasting pan and put a kettle on to boil.
Beat egg whites till firm but not dry. Fold half into the soufflé base, then add the rest. Spoon into the dishes (fill them almost to the top), pour boiling water into the pan to one-third of the depth of the dishes and bake for 20-25 minutes, till puffed and cooked through. Remove from oven and leave to coolthey will sink.
When cool, run a knife round the edge to loosen each soufflé, gently upend on to your hand, then put the right way up on one big dish or 6 gratin dishes. (You can make the soufflés a day ahead, or even freeze them. Make sure they are at room temperature before the second baking.)
To serve, set your oven to 400°F (375°F convection). Mix the cream with salt and pepper, grated nutmeg and Parmesan or other cheese. Pour over the soufflés to cover completely, then if you wish sprinkle with bread crumbs. Bake for 10-15 minutes, till golden and the sauce bubbling. They will gently re-puff.
MAKE IT LOOK GREAT I like to tuck a couple of cloves of garlic confit around each soufflé as it comes out of the oven. To make this, I poach skinned garlic cloves in olive oil to cover for 20 minutes till tender. The oil the garlic has been cooked in is useful for other dishes and dressings.

LAKE GEORGE Lake George Village Planning Board members have requested more information before they vote on preliminary plans for the proposed Marriott Courtyard hotel project on Canada St. in downtown Lake George.
Board members provided a list of requests Jan. 15 for project developer Dave Kenny, including a "balloon test," or inflating balloons and positioning them 70 feet or so off the ground to simulate the size of the proposed six-story hotel and conference center.
Concerns voiced at the meeting included the location of the patio which overlooks a nearby school's playground; some type of buffer between a patio off the hotel's pool on the north end of the building — which borders the school's property line; and the view of the roof from the back of the building and how that roof might be used.
Lake George Waterkeeper Chris Navitsky recommended a "green roof" which would encompass roof-top plants or grass to absorb water and reduce run-off.
Another concern raised by Navitsky was the increase in sewage flow to the village wastewater treatment plant resulting from the development. Questions were raised about whether the increased sewage to be treated would above the plant's capacity, or result in excess pollution. In recent years, the treated effluent emanating from the plant has contained higher nitrate levels than the state allows.
A change in the local code that previously allowed only three story buildings in the village paved the way for Kenny's application for the 120-room facility.
"We're going through the process," village planning board chairman Robert Mastrantoni said. "We want to make sure we get everything right with this project and make everyone happy."
For the project to move forward, the planning board needs to approve a Special Use permit and a site plan for the project, and the Adirondack Park Agency must also approve it, which is expected to take a few months.
Another public meeting on the project is scheduled for Feb. 10 at 7:30 p.m.

Intel Celeron M: It is a Pentium M with halved level 2 Cache and limited on FSB 400. The characteristic of this processor is the speed, which is hardly slower than an equivalent Pentium M. However it can change the speed not dynamically like the Pentium M and therefore needs without load more current.
It is also available as Low Voltage Version with very small current consumption.

The first was an American radio manufacturer founded in 1926, that later became a defense contractor and manufacturer of other consumer electronics, such as television sets. Teledyne acquired the business in 1978. In 1986, investors bought the name for a newly formed personal computer manufacturer. Originally the company produced discount computers in the US, later computers were produced for the European market. NEC took it over in the late 1990s. Acer acquired it in 2008. In spite of the similarity of their names, there has never been any corporate connection between the original or later Packard Bell and Hewlett Packard, or Bell System. Packard Bell is an international notebook manufacturer. Many years, the company focussed ruggedized laptops.

Google Web Accelerator is a software that accelerates page load times. It prefetches some of the pages and uses Google servers to retrieve data faster.
If you have the program, you must be wondering if it's really working well. Google displays the amount of time Google Web Accelerator saved, but this is an aggregated value.
But there's a way to see how fast Google's accelerator is: go to this page, called Google Web Accelerator IFrame Racing (it works only if you have the software) and enter a URL. The upper iframe shows the optimized loading, while the other iframe shows the standard loading.
If you want to load a page directly, without the accelerator, add .direct.google after the domain name: instead of http://www.cnn.com type http://www.cnn.com.direct.google.

BLUEWATER BAY — It takes Doug Smith a few minutes to try to figure out how many volunteer hours he accumulates in a month.
The Army veteran isn't bad at math; he's just very busy. But if his calculations are right, he spends about 24 hours a month helping others.
"It's my turn to give back to the community," the Bluewater Bay man said. "I've been so blessed. I'll be 85 on my next birthday. I've had both hips replaced, a triple bypass, and I'm still here.
"I'm paying my dues for all the blessings I've had in my life and I'll do it as long as I'm able."
Smith's volunteer efforts span across the board, and the country. He works with his church, St. Jude's Episcopal Church, counting the tithe money. And he spends hours on the road for Supper on Saturdays; he also heads to Fort Rucker once a month as part of his former unit's association.
"I have never known Doug to turn anyone down who needs help," said Teena Hammond, who volunteers at Supper on Saturdays with Smith. "He stays active in more community activities than I can imagine. I'm almost 30 years younger than Doug and I wish I had half his energy and dedication.
"Let's face it: We need more people like Doug in our world today."
Smith doesn't spend countless hours helping others for the accolades, though. He says he does it because he is called to give back.
"I tell my volunteers all the time, 'You're not going to have a parade in your honor and you won't be on the front page of the newspaper, but you're doing what God asked you to do: Love your neighbor.' That's why I do it."

Cote d'Ivoire National football team star and captain of Manchester City FC, Yaya Toure and footballers at a World Cup qualifier match between Cote d'Ivoire and Morocco made a strong statement against the illegal killings of elephants in Africa on Saturday.
Yaya Toure, said, "Time is running out for African Elephants. The surge in the killing of elephants in Africa and the illegal trafficking in other threatened species will not only threaten the animals, but will affect the livelihoods of millions who depend on tourism for a living," adding, "Wildlife crime is a serious threat to the security, political stability, economy, natural resources and cultural heritage of many countries. We need to come together to take action against the illegal trade in wildlife across Africa and across the world."
Increased poaching and loss of habitats are threatening the survival of African elephant populations. The UN estimates that over 17,000 elephants were illegally killed in monitored sites in 2011 alone. Overall figures may be much higher Even previously secure populations, like in East Africa, are now under threat.

The Big Show
Posted in Uncategorized on February 23, 2012 by Administrator
So after all the preperation and nervousness, I am proud to announce that our first Bridal Show went without incident. Well that's not entirely true....My girlfriend Michelle who was helping with the event did happen to knock a buffalo chicken pastry from one of the butler's trays. But with that being the extent of any accidents, I would say it was a successful night.
As far as the show is concerned, we met many great people and were able to reach a large audience with our company. Everyone seemed pretty responsive to our concept and our cookie table cards created a buzz with the brides-to-be. Our location really helped as well, we had some prime real estate in the ballroom right next to the 550,000 gallon shark tank. If you are unfamiliar with the New Jersey State Aquarium (who hosted the event) it is located on the Delaware River directly across from the Philadelphia skyline. So everything about the night was top notch with picture perfect surroundings.
Our First Adventure
Posted in Uncategorized on February 21, 2012 by Administrator
Today, besides filling our usual orders we also prepared for something unique. Tomorrow will be the first event that Custo Cookie will be attending. The event is a Bridal Show hosted by the Currents Ballroom at the New Jersey State Aquarium. This will be a great opportunity for us to spread the word of what we are doing over at Custo Cookie. Not only can you design your own mouth- watering gourmet cookie, but you can personalize one of our favor boxes for your special event.
With this being our first show, there is a little bit of nervousness of the unexpected. Just like when you receive your order in the mail, we like to be perfect with everything associated with our brand. And for those interested, we will be posting pictures throughout the day tomorrow with our progress (unless it is a complete disaster…) Well until tomorrow, sweet dreaming about the endless possibilities of your Custo Creation!!!

Global deforestation alert tool developed from NASA satellite imagery launchesmongabay.com
May 30, 2012
GloF-DAS is based on a new product derived from satellite data from NASA's Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS). The product, developed at NASA Ames Research Center by the Carnegie-Ames-Stanford Approach (CASA) ecosystem modeling team, is based on comparison of MODIS global vegetation index images at the exact same time period each year in consecutive years. It registers change when more than 40 percent of a five x five kilometer surrounding forest area has lost greenness over the previous 12 months. Seasonal variation is generally mitigated through the product's quarterly baseline.
GloF-DAS could help users detect deforestation shortly after it occurs, offering the potential to take measures to investigate clearing before it expands.
"We hope the timeliness of these forest change observations will provide stakeholders in forest conservation more opportunities to make sustainable management decisions," said Christopher Potter, Senior Research Scientist at NASA Ames Research Center.
Close-up of Sumatra, Indonesia on GloF-DAS, which is built on the Google Maps platform. Note that the underlying satellite imagery is generally older than the MODIS-based GloF-DAS data, so Google Earth's image may not reflect the current state of forest cover.
Over coming months, the recently launched Indonesian version of Mongabay.com (mongabay.co.id) aims to establish a pilot program using local correspondents to investigate some deforestation hotspots identified in Indonesia by GloF-DAS. The ground-truthing program could help improve transparency around forest use in Indonesia, which is experiencing high rates of deforestation due to mining, conversion for oil palm estates and pulp and paper plantations, and agriculture. The program could also improve the accuracy of GloF-DAS, which has launched as a beta.
Mongabay.com plans to add an SMS-based alert system whereby a user could sign up to receive a text message when forest change is registered in a specified protected area, regency/municipality, state, or country.
GloF-DAS is freely available at rainforests.mongabay.com/deforestation-tracker/

Fulham manager Martin Jol has confirmed the signing of FC Twente's Chris David.
The 19-year-old midfielder has long been linked with the Craven Cottage outfit and has now completed his move. David has represented Holland at youth levels and was close to a move to Fulham in the summer.
Jol said of David: "He has signed and he is here. He trained with us this morning. He is 19 years of age, player of the year of all the academies in Holland. He is an exciting talent but he will need at least six months of a year to adapt, but hopefully he will do it quicker. He is a very, very good talent."

Life on the Upswing
By DragonBloodthirsty 0 Comments
I got a job. It has nothing to do with engineering, or anything really and truly satisfying in life, but it's a job and it makes money. Sometimes, that's the kind of job you take, because you need money. I specifically need money to get into engineering.
But I come to gaming for chilling, and there's the rub: gaming seems to think I have the time to invest 40+ hours of work time (possibly 40 hours a week) into their video game that pays me in bits. I've never really been a fan of that, but it's made even more in-your-face-annoying when you only have an hour or two each day to do something fun.
So now my problem is the polar opposite of what I had before. I'm left with no time, but plenty of money to enjoy gaming. I find I have absolutely no patience for monthly fees (even less than I did before, when I'd have the time to make good on the invested money), and zero tolerance for busy work. I think I find this most astounding because I always assumed that having more money would make me less stingy with it (trading greater quantities of money for fun), and that did happen. But now I have no tolerance for anything that falls into "not fun". I expected getting money to change me, not exaggerate my existing traits.
It's kinda cool to find out that there is some constancy to me after all.

Media Server Dedupe Rate
Hi Folks
I have a implement a solution based upon below scenario.
Remote Location :- 5 clients with 200 GB each ( Total of 1 TB). Data type is mostly text files.
Want to deploy one media server (220.127.116.11) with MSDP at Remote location and using SLP data will replicate to central Master Server/Media (184.108.40.206) Server with MSDP. No issue with Network bandwidth between Remote media server and Central Master Server.
Is there any case study to calculate de-dupe rate based upon below requirement
Dedupe rate from client side deduplication to Remote media server MSDP?
Optimize Dedupe rate from Remote MSDP to Central Master/Media Server MSDP ?
Thanks in Advance !!!
Comments 6 Comments • Jump to latest comment
Always difficult to say for this type of enquiry and compression set on the client and / or media server can make a difference too
The first run of 200GB you would hope to give about 20% de-dupe rates as long as it is not encrypted data or the like
After that first run you could be getting into the 90% range for de-dupe.
You could use client side de-dupe straight back to the remote site and if have backed up plenty of clients already in the data centre then the de-dupe rate could be quite good - Accellerator really comes into play here too!
If you have a remote MSDP Server then again it is all down to how much has already been backed up on the main site as to the ratio you will get - but they are all pretty much the same ratios as they just query the current fingerprint databases
As an example, a remote client i did took a hefty 26 hours for its first backup, but using accelerator the next full backup took 37 minutes
So sometime you either need to seed the data (put the MSDP local to the client for the first backup) or just accept the hit for that very first backup and then enjoy the subsequent ones!
A ball park is to expect in the 20% range for the first backup then 60 to 90% after that - but all depends on the data types and how much you have already backed up to the MSDP pool to give the maximum set of fingerprints
Hope this helps

Don't forget to "Mark as Solution" if someones advice has solved your issue - and please bring back the Thumbs Up!!.
I'd hardly call "20x," conservative. That's a greater than 95% dedupe rate, and IMO a best case scenario.
You want to quote conservative, quote 10x or about 90%.
There is an online portal, save yourself the long hold times. Create ticket online, then call in with ticket # in hand :-) http://mysupport.symantec.com "We backup data to restore, we don't backup data just to back it up."
