International ClassesB64D 001/04F42B 004/00 F42B 004/26 DescriptionBACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates generally to decoys or countermeasure devices for negating or confusing seeker or tracker devices of homing missiles so that they loose lock on the target, at least temporarily. Anti-aircraft missiles have electro-optical seeker devices for homing in on the infrared or other wavelength radiation emitted from an aircraft engine tailpipe. Conventional flares are often used in attempting to decoy the seeker devices so that they lose their lock on the target, the aircraft being flown out of line of sight with the missile under the cover of the decoy flare. In conventional pyrotechnic flares, a mixture of chemicals contained in a cartridge is ignited after expelling the flare from the aircraft, forming an infrared source for decoying a hostile infrared seeking missile. The duration of such flares is from milliseconds to seconds in length. Such devices are quite well known and understood, and missile designers have developed means for enabling current missiles to ignore most of the existing flare countermeasures. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to provide a new and improved countermeasure device for negating infrared or multi-color electro-optical seeker systems. According to the present invention, a countermeasure device is provided, which comprises an explosive charge and a container surrounding the charge for containing a noble gas. When the charge is detonated in the confined atmosphere of a monatomic gas such as argon or xenon, the propagation of the resultant shock wave through the gas causes adiabatic heating and compression of the gas. This heats the gas to very high temperatures and causes it to generate an intense flash of light containing virtually all wavelengths, effectively blinding the optical seeker system of any missile tracking a target from which the device is dispensed. The device produces light at an intensity several orders of magnitude greater than that of a conventional flare. The device produces a short pulse of electromagnetic energy having a duration of the order of tens of microseconds, in a broad band of wavelengths from ultraviolet to infrared. This will at least temporarily blind the seeker, causing it to loose lock on the targeted aircraft heat source. The decoy countermeasure is designed to fit into standard aircraft flare dispensers, in other words the shape and dimensions of the device are equivalent to those of standard decoy flares. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the container comprises an expandable balloon surrounding the charge and an enclosed supply of noble gas under pressure is also enclosed in the container. The gas supply is released into the balloon prior to detonation of the charge, so that the gas will expand the balloon and surround the charge. Reflective strips of material such as Mylar may be held on the outside of the balloon prior to inflation. As the balloon inflates, the strips will be dispersed into a cloud around the device. After detonation, light will be transmitted towards the target both directly from the heated gas and indirectly by reflection from the strips. The countermeasure device of this invention produces light from an explosively driven light source, rather than by burning chemicals as in conventional flares, and will be more effective than conventional flares due to the broad band of wavelengths covered, the high intensity, and the relatively short duration of the pulse, giving insufficient time for the seeker itself to institute any countermeasures against the decoy device. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS The present invention will be better understood from the following detailed description of a preferred embodiment of the invention, taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, in which like reference numerals refer to like parts, and in which: FIG. 1 is a side elevation view, with portions cut away of a countermeasure device according to a preferred embodiment of the invention in closed configuration ready for launch; FIG. 2 is an enlarged sectional view taken on line 2--2 of FIG. 1; FIG. 3 is a view similar to FIG. 1, with the balloon inflated; FIG. 4 is a diagram of the actuating system; and FIG. 5 illustrates the deployment of the device from an aircraft to counteract an approaching missile. DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT FIGS. 1 and 2 illustrate a countermeasure 10 for preventing or impeding a missile seeker system from tracking and homing in on a target. The device is illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 2 in its unexpanded or closed condition prior to launch from a standard aircraft flare dispenser 12, as indicated in dotted outline in FIG. 2. The device basically comprises a central cylindrical explosive charge or billet 14 having at least one bottle 16 of matching diameter secured to one end. Gas bottles 16 may be secured at both ends of the charge, but in the illustrated embodiment a housing 17 for the actuating circuitry is secured at the opposite end of the charge, as illustrated in FIG. 1. Gas bottle 16 contains a noble or monatomic gas such as argon or xenon under pressure. End pieces 18 are secured to the outer, free end of the gas bottle 16 and electronics housing 17. The end pieces will be made of a clear material such as plastic or quartz to allow transmission of light. A balloon 20 of transparent, flexible material is secured between the two end pieces to form a sleeve surrounding the charge 14 in the collapsed, uninflated condition of FIGS. 1 and 2. Strips 22 of reflective material such as Mylar are held between the folds of the collapsed balloon on the outside of the device, as best illustrated in FIG. 2. An electronically actuated detonator 24 is provided in the center of the explosive charge 14. Detonator 24 is connected via lead 25 to the actuating circuitry in housing 17. The circuitry includes a battery 26, a timer circuit 27, and a switch 28, as illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 4. The switch is connected via arming pin 29 to a tether 30 connecting the device to the aircraft, in a similar arrangement to a standard flare. Gas bottle 16 has an outlet 31 for communicating with the interior 32 of balloon 20 surrounding the charge. The outlet is normally closed via valve 33 which is connected to valve actuator 34, such as a solenoid. Actuator 34 is connected to the timer 27, as illustrated in FIG. 4. The detonator 24 may be a single point detonator in the middle of charge 14, as illustrated, or may be a line detonator extending the length of the charge for simultaneous detonation at multiple points along the charge. The timer circuitry is arranged so that the valve 33 is opened prior to detonation of the charge 14, in a manner which will be understood by one skilled in the explosives field. FIG. 5 illustrates operation of the decoy device 10 as a countermeasure against a seeker missile 35 which is locked onto an aircraft 36. The device is launched from the dispenser tube 12 in the path of missile 35, simultaneously pulling arming pin 29 to close switch 28. After a predetermined short time period set by timer 27, valve 33 is opened to open outlet 31, allowing pressurized noble gas to escape into the balloon 20. The balloon will be inflated by the gas into the expanded position illustrated in FIG. 3, in which the balloon confines the gas to surround the explosive charge. After release of the gas into the balloon 20, the detonator 24 is actuated to detonate the explosive charge 14. The propagation of an explosive shock wave through the confined gas causes adiabatic heating and compression of the gas. This heats the gas to temperatures in the 20,000 degree Kelvin regime and causes the gas to generate an intense flash of light containing virtually all wavelengths, which will be transmitted through the transparent material of the balloon and end pieces before the balloon is exploded and the gas dissipates into the atmosphere. Thus a short, very intense pulse of light is produced at energy levels which have been shown to damage both infra red and multi-color optical systems. The explosively driven light source produces energy over the entire spectrum from ultraviolet to infrared frequencies, at levels several orders of magnitude greater than that of a conventional flare countermeasure. At the same time, standard pyrotechnic flares burn over a longer time period than the explosively driven source of this invention. Thus, the conventional flare typically produces light for a time period from milliseconds to seconds in length, allowing missile designers to build in their own countermeasures allowing the missile to ignore most existing flare countermeasures. In contrast, the much higher intensity light pulse produced by the present device is very short, of the order of tens of microseconds. Since this pulse is short, most countermeasures built into missiles will not have time to work, and the optical seeker system should be at least temporarily blinded, causing it to loose lock on the targeted heat source and giving the aircraft a chance to change course and escape, as illustrated in FIG. 5. The reflective strips 22 loosely held between folds of the unexpanded balloon will be dispersed into a cloud around the device as the balloon expands, as illustrated in FIGS. 3 and 5. The strips are preferably reflective on both faces. When the charge is exploded, the strips will form a cloud between the aircraft and the resultant light source, as illustrated in FIG. 5, reflecting light transmitted towards the aircraft back towards the missile. Thus, upon detonation of the high explosive, and heating of the surrounding gas, light will be transmitted both directly towards the missile and indirectly by reflection from the cloud of Mylar strips 22, providing a very intense flash of light. Since the strips 22 are dispersed prior to detonation, they will have the added advantage of reducing light transmitted back towards the aircraft. The decoy device or countermeasure of this invention will therefore act to prevent, either temporarily or permanently, an electro-optical seeker system of a missile from adequately tracking a target and guiding a missile to intercept the target. In testing, the device disrupted a missile seeker which was locked onto a black body simulating a jet exhaust 22 out of 29 times. It therefore provides an improved countermeasure which is more effective against modern seeker missiles than the conventional pyrotechnic flares currently used. Although a preferred embodiment of the invention has been described above by way of example only, it will be understood by those skilled in the field that modifications may be made to the disclosed embodiment without departing from the scope of the invention, which is defined by the appended claims. * * * * * Other References

LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- More than 60,000 grocery workers across Southern California voted Wednesday on whether to authorize a strike against several major supermarket chains.
Their contract with Vons, Ralphs and Albertsons expired March 6. The union says there has been no progress in the negotiations.
Members of United Food and Commercial Workers Local 770 began voting at 8 a.m. and continued through the day.
Results were expected to be released Thursday, officials said.
"We can't afford not to strike," said Jim Lirette, who works for Vons in Pasadena.
However, an authorization doesn't necessarily mean workers will walk out, but it does give the union the power to call for a strike if talks break down.
The big three supermarkets would not comment on negotiating specifics, but Albertsons called "any talk of a strike premature and unnecessary."
Vons said it was an "unnecessary distraction."
Ralphs says it's a "common tactic in negotiations and does not necessarily mean a strike will occur."
In 2003, a grocery workers strike and lockout dragged on for more than four months, costing the supermarkets an estimated $1.5 billion.
"We're trying to get our wages up, we're trying to preserve our pension, we're trying to preserve our health and welfare," said Rick Icaza, the UFCW Union Local 770 president.
An exclusive Eyewitness News poll conducted by SurveyUSA asked: "If there was a strike, would you change where you shopped?" Forty-five of Southern Californians said yes, 41 percent said no and 14 percent were not sure.

More On Legal & Compliance
from The Advisor's Professional Library- Dealings With Qualified Clients and Accredited Investors Depending upon an RIAs business model and investment strategies, it may be important to identify "qualified clients" and "accredited investors." The Dodd-Frank Act authorized the SEC to change which clients are defined by those terms.
- Best Practices for Working with Senior Investors Securities examiners deal harshly with RIAs that do not fulfill their fiduciary obligations toward senior investors, as the SEC and state securities regulators view older investors as particularly vulnerable and in need of protection.
Sheila Bair, chairman of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. (FDIC) and Mary Schapiro, chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), conceded to federal crisis investigators January 14 that regulators did indeed drop the ball in preventing the financial meltdown.
During the second round of hearings held by the Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission (FCIC) in Washington January 14, Denise Voigt Crawford, Texas Securities Commissioner and president of the North American Securities Administrators Association (NASAA), told the federal investigative panel in her testimony that three actions should occur to prevent further potential crisis.
First, restore provisions of Glass-Steagall, the 1933 law that created a wall between commercial and investment banking. In fact, a bipartisan bill recently introduced by Senators Maria Cantwell (D-Washington), John McCain (R-Arizona), Russ Feingold (D-Wisconsin), and others would do just that by prohibiting commercial banks from affiliating in any manner with investment banks. "By separating the commercial banks from the investment banks, the Cantwell-McCain bill would end speculation with depositors' money and return stability and confidence to Main Street," Crawford said.
Second, Congress should reinstate state regulatory oversight of Rule 506 offerings by repealing Section 18(b)(4)(D) of the Securities Act of 1933, Crawford said. Section 928 of Senator Christopher Dodd's financial services reform bill, the Restoring American Financial Stability Act of 2009, would reinstate the authority of state regulators over Rule 506 offerings. "Most hedge funds are offered pursuant to Rule 506, so state securities regulators are prevented from examining the offering documents of these investments, which represents an enormous dollar volume," Crawford said. "Although Congress preserved the states' authority to take enforcement actions for fraud in the offer and sale of all 'covered' securities, including Rule 506 offerings, this power is no substitute for a state's ability to scrutinize offerings for signs of potential abuse and to ensure that disclosure is adequate beforeharm is done to investors."
Third, Crawford suggested increasing state regulation of investment advisors. "As evidenced by the Inspector General's report on the Madoff affair and the testimony of SEC Chairman Schapiro and other SEC staff before Congress, the bulk of federally covered investment advisers are examined infrequently," she said. NASAA members, she continued, "are fully prepared and equipped to fill this gap by accepting responsibility for the oversight of investment advisers with up to $100 million in assets under management."

Sorry to have deserted you! I have been busy with John's teeth! He now has an appointment with a specialist next Monday. The clinic is on the outskirts of London and so we decided to do a trial run to see how long it will take to get there. His appointment is at 8.30am and so the traffic will be very heavy. We went at 10 am for our trial run and it took an hour to get there – 21 miles away! So we think he must allow 2 hours on Monday. AND he wants me to go with him…..think he is a bit scared!
I have some more West Yorkshire Spinners Blue Faced Leicester DK on the way, also more Superior and the next batch of Artyarns orders are due very soon too. It always seems that everything comes at once!
On Thursday we shall know our fate regarding the proposed development on the fields surrounding our house. There is a public meeting and the proposal will be discussed and voted on by the local authority planning committee. We shall go and listen. Then, if the go ahead is given for 2.200 houses, schools, health centre etc.etc, we can decided on a course of action.
No one answered the contest question correctly – the answer is eight. So will everyone please try this one:
From the clues given, can you sort this out?
Sorry the clues are rather small…maybe best to print it out!! Use magnifying glass!

Indiana poaches OU line coach

02:24 PM ET 02.11 | Kevin Wilson stole a coach from Oklahoma, bringing longtime colleague offensive line coach James Patton to his staff at Indiana.
Patton has worked alongside Wilson for a total of 14 seasons: six at Miami (Ohio), three at Northwestern, and five at Oklahoma before Wilson left his offensive coordinator position to be the head coach of the Hoosiers. What's strange about the move is that he'll take a completely different role at Indiana: Patton had been the offensive line coach with the Sooners, at Indiana, he'll be the recruiting coordinator, special teams coordinator and assistant defensive line coach.
What's the word, OK fans? How's the staff look, now? Who's replacing Patton?
Step by step, Wilson is building the Indiana football program. I hope the IU administration gives him enough time (five more years?) and financial support to establish a contending program.

There is a nice gift shop in the lobby also. The pool area and the beach were totally perfect! Lots of lounge chairs on the pool deck, everything very clean. A nice […] pool bar. The beach was beautiful and the ocean water was clear and very enjoyable. The rooms are a little dated - this is where you can tell this is an older hotel, but they were very clean and comfortable with a nice balcony. Good restaurants close by and shopping. Although, we were happy just staying at the hotel most of the time. All the staff was very friendly. I went with a friend. We had a great time. I would definitely recommend this hotel and I am sure I will be going back again. This is a great hotel for young and old alike. There was a wedding going on while we were there and I think it is a very nice hotel for a wedding also. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review

this is the second time visiting this hotel. I find the hotel to be just what I need. It is not the most recently built hotel but it is clean, the pool area is wonderful it is right on the beach and conveniently located, The only thing is that there is not inside lounge but there are many around to choose fromGenuine Expedia guest review
"Girls getaway"
My girlfriends and I stayed at Ocean Sky for a girls get-away. It was the perfect place for us! We layed by the pool which was clean and comfortable. It was a great jumping off point for us to go out at night, as well. The staff was very helpful!Genuine Expedia guest review
"Great experience..."
Courteous staff!! clean rooms and great décor. The room was a good size for 3-4 people. We had an awesome view of the beach and Fort Lauderdale from our room.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Romantic Getaway"
This place was nice and everything about it screamed romantic from the ocean view to the balcony to the soft huge beds. The only thing I didn't like was the small bathroom but it was still worth the stay for a great price. Location is excellent! Staff is great!!!!Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Great Location!"
I looove this hotel.. I stay here every January for a business trip. It is nice when the staff recognizes me when I pull up. They have made many improvements since my last stay here. The elevators have been upgraded, as well as the balconies in the rooms. I prefer to stay on the north side of the hotel as the view from the balconies seems to be a little […] better. I really appreciate all the special effort from Eddie the Concierge. The hotel is a little older but one of the more reasonably priced. The location right on a long beautiful span of beach makes this place a great place to stay!! Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Wonderful family vacation spot"

"Best Ocean View"
This was a very good hotel! It is clean and gave me the best view of the ocean that I could get. The beach was clean and the facilities were good. It was better than the Westin hotel close by. Worth the money!!! Don't try the Restaurant in the hotel; its pathetic!! Otherwise it was a great stay!!!Genuine Expedia guest review
"On the beach"
We enjoyed this hotel and it's staff so much, we stayed here twice during our two week vacation. The beds were the most comfortable we've slept in, in a hotel..Anabel and Cassy at the front desk were so helpful and sweet, true gems...and our waiter in the restaurant our first morning, came back for hello's, handshakes and hugs everyday thereafter......it […] is located right on the beach, with restaurants, grocery stores etc. all within walking distance...we had no need of our car...

"Superb value!"
We were only staying for 1 night and were more than pleased with the Ocean Sky Hotel & Resort. Being poolside while overlooking the ocean was just perfect! Hotel staff were wonderful, location is perfect! While the rooms need some updating, they were clean and the beds were comfortable. We absolutely loved our stay there! A bargain for the price, well […] worth it!!! Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

"great hotel. would definitely return."
Very happy with hotel. Valet workers were very nice. Pool area was very spacious and beach steps away.Genuine Expedia guest review
Hotel was great! Especially for the price and location. Staff were very nice and helpful. The view from the balcony is great even if it's a partial ocean view room. The front desk also let us check out a couple of hours later since our flight was later in the evening and kept our luggage in storage so we could go do whatever during the day, which was […] really nice! Will be staying here again when I go back! Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
Overall it was nice. The hotel is in need of overall updating. The room did smell funkey. The service was excellent so it made up for the shortcomings of the building itself.Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Great service, awesome beach, nice pool and hot tub. Very attentive concierge, helped with our special needs(scuba gear). Cant wait to go back!Genuine Expedia guest review
"Employees are really friendly"
This is my third year at this hotel, and my observations are according of how much I paid for my rooms. Everything was perfect, and the employees at front desk were always so friendly with my requests. Cecilia is a special case, she tries to help in any thing you need. For sure I will return to this hotel. Each year the hotel is improving its maint […] enance. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

"the best of the best on Lauderdale by the sea"
wonderfull, the experience ever I love it guys are gonna see me more oftenGenuine Hotels.com guest review
My family and I enjoyed our day there. I was happy they allowed us to check In early morning which was nice. We put our bags in room and hit the pool and tiki bar. Beach is only a few steps down but we ever made it. However...I'm not used to paying for daily parking as a guest but I guess that's the trend I'm starting to see in some areas. We will be […] back though. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Ocean Sky Weekend Getaway"
The Ocean Sky Hotel was great for my weekend stay. For the internet price I paid, I expected so much less and was presently surprised. The hotel is located right on the ocean and every employee was extremely friendly and helpful. Parking was only $12 a day and tons of stores and restaurants nearby. Yes, the hotel hallway's are a little dated but my […] room made up for any disappointments. Two large and comfortable queen beds with an outside patio overlooking the beach was incredible. 100% will be back. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"A great two days"
I arrived 2 hours earlier than check-in and was told I could swim in the pool and beach. They stored my luggage and off I went. The staff was very very freindly and helpful. I reserved 2 rooms and was pleasantly surprised that overall my stay was great. The room was clean and balcony views of the beach was not bad at all! From the parking attendants […] to the hotel staff and rooms, my 2 night stay was fabulous. My aunt had one problem when the cleaning staff skipped her room and it took a few hours for them to come. Other than that, it was a very positive stay at this hotel. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
Shower pressure was bad and the bathroom was a little small. Overall this is a great Hotel and it's right on the beach with Pool Hot Tub and Ocean right there.Genuine Hotels.com guest review

"A Great Place to Stay"
it was fantastic, hotle was a-1Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Great stay"
My husband and I stayed for a few days. There is nothing negative to say about this hotel! The beach was short in front of the hotel but wider in front of neighboring hotels. The pool was refreshing and clean - very spacious with great chairs. The hotel and room were clean. The staff were both friendly and helpful. we did not use the restaurant but […] ate at the outdoor tiki bar. The food was ok and the drinks a bit pricey but the bartender, Penny, was wonderful. I will definitely return to this hotel! Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Excellence at an Excellent Price"
This place is wonderful. It is clean, the staff is friendly, and it has a great price. The rooms are fairly big, even if you don't purchase a suite. It is great for families as well as couples. I have been to this resort four times and I plan on returning next year! My only complaint is that the beach elevator is very slow. But that is something that […] can be overlooked. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Great Beach Front Access for a Great Price!!"
This hotel is the best bang for your buck for beach front access. Our family enjoyed our stay. The Pool and swim deck area with Tiki bar & resturant were great. The beach front access and water recreation rental located on property was so convienient. This hotel has beautiful views of the Atlanctic Ocean. The only complaint was that the hotel elevators […] were a little slow. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Fort Lauderdale Beachfront"
The location of this hotel was great, right on the beach, and close to shops and restaurants. The staff was very friendly and spoke both English and French. The fitness center was well equipped with newer equipment and two large tvs. The only odd thing about the hotel is that the balcony was shared amongst the entire floor. It wasn't a problem, except […] that one of our neighbors was a smoker and the smoke was vented into our room. Other than that the hotel was great and I would recommend it for others visiting the area. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"nice hotel"
Lovely hotel, only thing i wasnt happy about was the balconys were not open to go out on, and we were not told about it until we got there, other than that enjoyed our stay.Genuine Expedia guest review
""Can't wait to go back""
When I was planing my vacation my priority was to find a Hotel which offers "special accessibility for disabled people". When I booked at this Hotel by expedia.com I was skeptical... but, when I got there with my "Special Kid" I could prove that all the information I saw at these web-sites was true. I wouldn't find a nice place like this for relaxing. […] Even at this time they are in restoration or construction.. stills being a quite place for relaxing. Personally we had a very nice time at the Ocean right there, the pool, etc, etc. The room according to my son's needs including the bathroom and elevators. Everything perfect for us!!! . Just the food a little expensive at the hotel but, we could find some places around there. In reference to the transportation I found very nice people "Airport shuttle", the charged me $ 30.00 for 2. Definitely I recommend this hotel. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Very Satisfie"
2nd year we have vacationed at this hotel and cannot express how much we enjoy the stay. All the employees are very friendly and they go out of there way to make you feel comfortable. Pool area has alot of sitting area, and the beach is just amazing, the Tiki Bar is a place you would feel very comfortable at. Already making plans for next yearGenuine Expedia guest review
Fantastic hotel!Genuine Expedia guest review

"Ft. Lauderdale's prime location"
Very nice hotel, very friendly staff, kept the rooms and whole hotel very clean. Things were a bit pricey but it's what to expect in Ft. Lauderdale. Love the location and the convenience of the local shops and restaurants, my favorite is that it is right on the beach!Genuine Expedia guest review
"It was very satisfactory"
It was very satisfactory.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Beat the Winter Blues"
We had a great time while staying at the Ocean Sky Hotel. It couldn't have been in a more perfect location for my family. It is located on Galt Ocean Mile. It is quiet and surrounded by amazing high-rise condos that are beautiful. Hotel itself is full of great people from all over. We met several families who have been staying at the hotel every year […] for 25+ years! All know each other and stay in contact when away. A great family feel, great for families with children. We have a five year old girl and she had so much fun in the pool/on beach in ocean. Winne Dixie grocery less than 5 minute walk, Wings is right across the street beachwear or sand toys, they have it all and more, VERY reasonable prices. Target five minute drive E. on Oakland Park Blvd. Whole Foods Market is 7-10 minute drive E on Oakland then left (South) on Federal Highway (aka US 1). Restaurants w/in walking distance, Nick's Italian, Greek Isle. Aruba and 101 Ocean are N. at Commercial Blvd. CVS-5 minute walk S. McDonalds-across the street (we are not fans, but found it decent in a pinch one morning for a quick breakfast). Dunkin Donuts-5 minute walk, and a sight to behold. THE hangout for all the NY snowbirds! Hotel food is tastey but $$$! Rooms-basic but good w/mini fridge, coffee, microwave. Pool deck great, clean. Housekeeping friendly, efficient. Parking terrible, you park/they park $10/day either way no ?'s. Bummer for my family who came to visit us daily from their apartments. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review

Police report: Colleagues detail chemist's 'breakdown'
Police report: Colleagues detail chemist's 'breakdown'
Former state chemist Annie Dookhan tearfully told cops she "messed up bad" when she forged colleagues' signatures, sneaked evidence out of a drug safe and tainted negative samples for years at a state drug lab, according to shocking new details in a bombshell 101-page police report that stunned veteran lawmen and defense attorneys yesterday.
Dookhan, whose admission to widespread malfeasance has fueled the investigation into a now-shuttered Jamaica Plain facility, has called into question at least 34,000 cases.

This tutorial shows you how to quickly pop a few fantasy planets into your next project.
When I took my first look at the feature details inside GenArts' new Sapphire Edge plug-in package, I admit my first reaction was to roll my eyes.

But as I started working with the quality effects in Edge I slowly changed my tune.

Bungie Reveals New Destiny Details Written Friday, May 10, 2013 By Lee Bradley View author's profile | |
Bungie has updated the Destiny website with a whole slew of story, enemy, location and faction details. As far as building a universe populated with interesting races and lore is concerned, Bungie looks to be taking the work it did on Halo and dialing things up a notch. This is a universe clearly created to be explored for years. We're pretty excited. And while we'd love to know more gameplay details, between the info below and the stuff revealed by Bungie at GDC this year, it looks like Destiny is shaping up to be pretty epic in scope. You can find all the new details on the game's website, by clicking through like a million pages. Or, you can see it all below, thanks to the power of copy and paste. Destiny is out next year and is headed to both current and next-gen platforms.

On the farm by Glenn Ells
Leta and I have just moved into our humble cottage at Baxter's Harbour. When the ragweed pollen rides the airwaves in the Valley, Leta has a severe reaction, so we head for the Bay of Fundy shore.
The temptation to stay here until frost kills the ragweed pollen is great, but we seem to be committed to many things that pull us back to Sheffield Mills and the farm. Leta will stay here tomorrow and try to cut down the consumption of tissue while I return to the farm and the wood splitter.
Most of the wood I'm working on is beech that had grown up on an old terraced orchard site. For some reason, the canker that has spoiled the look of most of the beech trees I've seen in the woods over the years did not find the little stand of trees near our home. We have been cutting them for fuel wood and plan to plant grapes on the site. We can always hope that the many diseases and insects that we have been reading about won't find our little sheltered site and the grapes will grow as well as the beech trees did. There is a lot of hope in the farming business; we depend on hope when there is financial stress.
Thanks to Vermeulen Farms in B.C. (back of Canning), there are now available strawberries that are big and red and look like those imported offerings from the U.S.A. There is one important difference – the Rabbit Square berries actually taste like strawberries should. Andy and Ben made a huge investment in their system of production and hoped it would work. It will take a lot of berries to recoup the investment, but it looks like a great start.
It is getting hard to find Leta's granola at breakfast time after I get through covering it with local berries and fruit, but what a wonderful problem. My blackberry patch is giving me a pint every second day and the Portia apples are just right for eating now. Add Andy's strawberries and Earl and Bobby's blueberries and the fruit groups are well represented – and are from local services, too, which makes breakfast more of a celebration than a routine meal.

I'm considering a trip which includes all the highlights contained in previous posts on this forum. My question: if there is really only three hours of daylight, how can all this be covered? Is it possilbe?
Iceland in December

Iceland is endless geographic and geological wonders.The sceneries are breathtakingly beautiful. But, I doubt such short daylight could do its justice. Besides, many roads on the west and north will be closed.
Once,hoping to see northern light I traveled from far north of Norway down to Oslo in earlier January (the same latitude as Iceland),most of the time it was so gloom that I could hardly see anything except the whiteness of snow. -

My son and I are going to Iceland in September. If you like I will try to give you some ideas about your trip when I return. My daughter lives in Anchorage Alaska and we have visited there for Christmas. At that time we had between five and six hours of daylight. The time you notice the difference is in the morning. It doesn't start of get light at all untill after 9:00AM. The sun stays low on the horizon and you will need sunglasses as it seems to shine right into your eyes when you are driving. Please feel free to email me about Iceland. Diana -

I'm going in Novemeber and wondering the same thing. Anyone else have first hand knowledge -

I was in Iceland for a long weekend last March, and found that there were very long periods of dawn and dusk rather than total darkness. Not sure about December.
The Blue Lagoon wouldn't be bad in darkness...might be wonderful in fact. YOu would have trouble with the geysers, Pingvellir Natl Park. Reykjavik is very well lit, so you could see the city in the dark.
It's a wonderful place! Enjoy! -

The hours of daylight in late March is aouut the same as late September.And then it gets shorter and shorter till December 22nd.
I just spent 12 days in Iceland last month, and plan to go back next Summer, bewcause there are so many areas I haven't seen yet even with 21 hours bright daylight and no dark period.
Out of Reykjavik along the west and north coasts there are too many nature wonders to be missed. If there is any choice,I really recommend you to go in late Spring or Summer.

I hope you get a chance to read this. My wife and I spent three days in Iceland late last November. We did all of the tours and saw all of the sights. Daylight was not an issue.
Basically it was light around 10am and dark around 4pm, which left plenty of time to sightsee.
You can read my trip report on this forum (somewhere) or at http://members.aol.com/mathewsweb.
Or, feel free to email me at firstname.lastname@example.com -

HI - I SAY GO FOR IT. I HAVE BEEN THERE IN AUGUST, NOVEMBER AND MARCH, VARYING YEARS, AND FIND IT A WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE ALL THE TIME. THOUGH IT DOES GET LIGHT LATER IN THE MORNING, AS ADDRESSED IN PRIOR NOTES, IT DOES NOT TAKE AWAY THE FLAVOR OF THE LAND.. IN FACT, IT ADDS A MYSTERIOUS QUALITY TO IT. ALSO, IT WILL GIVE YOU A TASTE OF WHAT THE COUNTRY IS LIKE W/O THE TOUSISTS.I'D SUGGEST THAT YOU CALL ICELANDAIR (800 #)AND ASK IF THEIR DAY TOURS TAKE PLACE AT THE TIME OF YEAR YOU WANT TO GO, THEREBY GIVING YOU A SENSE OF WHAT YOU CAN SEE AROUND THE COUNTRY, ie GEYSERS, GLACIERS, ETC. ENJOY

We went to iceland last December and had a wonderful time. As mentioned before the day light hours was not an issue. I got light around 930-10am and dark around 4pm. While we were there it wasn't that cold. Pretty much like a typical cold winter in most places in the US if not warmer. While we were there it didn't snow either. I do suggest bringing lots of money for food it can get expensive. Even though we found some great place that were not so bad. Have a great trip! There won't be very many tourist there.

So as many of you may already know, I turned 25 last Thursday and I could not have asked for a more special birthday. I spent the evening with my friends and family and on Saturday my sisters treated me to a Lunch and shopping extravaganza! As I drove home Saturday night I was soo overwhelmed from the week full of Love that I just turned down the radio and began to thank God for all of my blessings. I'm so blessed to be a young professional basking in the vocation of my choice and to be surrounded by great people who love and care about me. I am truly blessed.

Bloomberg's Revenge: How Far Will the Nanny State Go?
The Federalist Society presents:
Speaker: Walter Olson, senior fellow at the Cato Institute's Center for Constitutional Studies
DATE: Monday, September 9, 2013
TIME: 12:00 - 1:00pm
College of Law, Room TBD
Approved for 1 CLE credit hour
Mr. Olson will discuss the implication of dismissing concerns about "nanny state" intervention and government paternalism as merely trivial and personal, and not on a par with issues acknowledged as "serious" such as police abuse, free speech, surveillance, and the proper functioning of the legal system. Additionally, he will note how when left unchecked, the project of paternalism quickly generates very serious problems in each of those other areas: it gives police and enforcers great arbitrary power, hands a special government megaphone to some speakers while stifling others, funnels uncomfortably personal information into government hands, and fuels abusive litigation.

Maui OGG to Kona KOA via Cessna
It would have been so easy to just book with Hawai'ian Air or Island Air but with a sense of adventure I decided to take the local commuter flight using Go ! Mokulele Airlines and travel on their Cessna TurboProp 9 passenger commuter plane. We thought that we were on an adventure. Because they use little planes, everything had to be weighed before we loaded. We had to put our bags on the scale, our backpack, and then ourselves with our weights being tallied on the passenger manifest. To avoid embarrassments they weighed each of us as we carried our carry on luggage/backpacks. The plane also had to be loaded by weight priority to balance the planes centre of gravity. The flight captain looked at the manifest and decided our seat positions which were assigned as we walked out on the tarmac towards our waiting plane.
WOW, flights were grounded in December, 2011
We looked upon this alternative as an adventure and luckily everything went as planned and we left and arrived in Kona on time. Now that I am preparing this post I find that we are probably one of the few who have had a good experiences. I did a google review of Mokulele and they are all horrible. Bad customer service, cancelled flights and then I find out that their planes were recently grounded due to parts or possibly maintenance problems.
Then there is this political mess of Mesa Airlines and their takeover of Aloha Airlines and the messy aftermath which has the locals avoiding them like the plague, and also their Bankruptcy earlier this year until they found a new investor to bail them out.
Remember what that white plane with red lettering looks like
Looking back and knowing what I know now, It was a REAL ADVENTURE the magnitude of which, we were largely unaware. I am glad the flight was uneventful and all went well and we arrived unscathed and will live to breathe another day.
Hop aboard and join us on this Uneventful Flight. I hope it has all of its nuts and bolts this time
Mrs Skoot still thinks that we were being adventurous, I mean . . . ignorance is bliss
4 comments:
Interesting. Around here, I was told that all charter flights over water need to be using multi-engine planes. But my information is about 30 years old and maybe it was just the operator or his insurance rules. Maybe Hawaii has different rules (I doubt it) or my information is wrong (more likely)
You're right, ignorance is bliss!Richard:
I like your idea of multi-engines, esp over water. Lucky thing I didn't do google reviews before we booked
Lady R:
You have to be on the lookout for sulphur clouds from the volcano, and check the weather forecasts. It is always raining somewhere on the island. Tour operators don't like to tell you that you can't see anything. Fixed wing is much cheaper than helicopter
Lucky thing I found out all this stuff after we came back, and I was looking for info to post, otherwise we would have taken the jet.

4 trends to try now: Take on fall's equestrian, fun fur, leather and geometric trends with 29 perfect shopping picks
Jump to trend: FUN FUR | EQUESTRIAN | LEATHER | GEOMETRIC
If you're ready for a mid-season wardrobe shakeup, we have four hot-on-the-runway trends to try. We've taken inspiration from some of our favourite Fall 2012 runways and made the looks ready for the streets. From geometric prints á la Prada paired with a classic pair of jeans to a tough leather jacket as seen at Gareth Pugh with a badass studded ring. We're also into having some fun with fur and taking the pelts out of their natural hues and wearing bold orange vests like at Blumarine and green-cuffed gloves paired with a delicate watch to make the look a little bit more casual. And if wearing fur isn't your jam, try looking like you're riding a horse with some equestrian inspired gear from riding pants to classic knee high boots. Hop to it and get on board with some of our favourite looks for fall. We swear you'll like it.
