excellent location very large room - suitable for a family of 4
Excellent location near everthing
Hardly any facilities. Room is quite old but comfortable.
Well located in the heart of Fishermans Wharf. Within a stones throw away from cable car choices. We particularly enjoyed the large sized rooms and the "sinking" feeling you get with their beds. Small gym enough for a good run and a bike. They have a small cafe called the Bistro which is amply stocked with food choices. Maria tended our room quite well!
Not much help in the lobby when it came to our three heavy luggages. We were left on our own to lug it into our bedroom. Outside of that we had no issues.
Great location. Clean rooms.
Paying for parking; however, we found local vender on own and happily walked.
Best location
Don't offer free parking
The location...
To much price for what it is...
It was a handy location. The staff was very friendly and most were extremely helpful, especially the concierge and the housekeeper - she was amazing. She knew us before we knew her and was always making sure we had everything we needed.
Each room gives you all the coffee you want, but I was unable to get a couple of tea bags for the room. Instead, I was told I had to buy them in the bistro, which is only open until 9:30 A.M. Other hotels have coffee and tea available 24/7 but if I wanted a cup of tea at night at the Marriott, I was out of luck. Also, I lost a button during my stay and asked if they had a little needle and thread kit. I was told I had to buy it in the convenience store or at Walgreen'S. Again, other hotels have little complimentary needle and thread packs. I was surprised that Marriott could not accommodate their guests for such little requests. It does make a difference.
Wonderful staff & great valets! Rooms very comfortable for family of 4, extremely clean & beautiful! Gym was great & WIFI was terrific! 10 STARS!
Nothing--everything was perfect!
The location - the street car and cable car and bus stops were all less than 1 block from the hotel. The staff was very cordial and helpful. Edward the concierge was knowledgeable and eager to assist. Lots of great eateries close by.
NOTHING - Everything was wonderful. On a weekend night the street below could be a bit noisy, but it was not enough to bother us. Other nights were very quiet.
Excellent location perfect to see the best tourists attractions in San Francisco Really friendly staff Very clean and tidy hotel
lack of character

Before the Space Race, there was the Balloon Race. In the 1930s, the United States and the Soviet Union launched a series of balloons that carried pilots and researchers to higher and higher altitudes. Like the rockets and satellites that would follow a couple of decades later, the balloon flights helped develop new technologies, stoked national pride, and contributed to our knowledge of what's above the ground.
One of the flights took place 75 years ago today.
American military officers Thomas Settle and Chester Fordney piloted the balloon, which was named "Century of Progress" after the Chicago World's Fair. It took off from Akron, Ohio, on November 20th, 1933.
The balloon reached an altitude of more than 61,000 feet -- a few hundred feet higher than the record set by Soviet balloonists just a couple of months earlier.
Fordney described the view from the stratosphere for reporters:
The weather up in the stratosphere is more or less a static affair. It's an isothermal region where the temperature doesn't change. There are no clouds, there's no precipitation, and the Sun shines all the time. It's a perfectly beautiful thing.
Fordney and Settle carried instruments to measure conditions in the stratosphere, and to study cosmic rays. Their readings helped scientists learn more about these mysterious particles from beyond Earth. And the flight set the stage for higher journeys -- and more discoveries -- as the Balloon Race continued.

Honestly, I think it's a pretty sexy look for the girl! Not trashy or anything. Maybe it's the business jacket. :)
Whatchu thinkin'? Is it a good look for Miley or is it a little too much?

I've seen this caused by bad storage controllers (yes, dell PERC's in particular). if you have an opportunity, you should definitely test the hardware (under an easy, streaming workload like just "dd if=/dev/zero of=testfile bs=64k").

I'm aware of fscache, but I have the impression it's mainly aimed at write-heavy loads. though it would certainly work well for reads, if you have a hefty local disk system (>=4 wide raid0 with tuned stripesize...) I did a trivial experiment: ran "vmstat 1" on a basic NFS server, and generated a read load from another machine. the test file was only 1GB, and depending on competition from other users on the client, it _could_ stay in client-side cache for at least the 10 minutes I waited. 2G on the client machine, gigabit between, nothing special kernel/settings-wise. > scalable).

The Little Red Lobster Shack
The line for lobster rolls at Red's Eats is almost as famous as Wiscasset itself.
Edited excerpt from Red's Eats by Virginia Wright and Debbie Cronk; Down East Books, Camden, Maine; hardcover; 72 pages; $14.95. Image by Pat Shannon
If you're on the deck behind Red's Eats, this magazine in one hand, a fat lobster roll in the other, take a long and loving look at that sandwich. It is the inspiration of the late Al Gagnon, the owner of Red's Eats for thirty-one years. A master cook of simple, comforting food, Gagnon was moved to add the lobster roll to his menu after sampling a disappointing version elsewhere. "I bit into it and — awg! — the frozen meat and what have you," a wincing Gagnon told WQED Pittsburgh's Rick Sebak in 2002. "I said to myself, 'You're going to make a lobster roll that's a lobster roll.' "
Gagnon's first effort mixed the seafood with a bit of mayonnaise, a common preparation for lobster rolls in Maine. After hearing the words "hold the mayo" over and over, however, he tried an ingeniously simple new tack: he stuffed his buns with an ultra-generous serving of unadorned lobster, and offered mayonnaise and drawn butter on the side. "People loved that," says cook Cindy Collamore, Gagnon's daughter, who is carrying on her father's legacy with sister Debbie Cronk, Red's Eats' manager and cashier, and brothers David and Joe Gagnon, who serve as handymen on call.
Indeed they did. Word of the mouthwatering mountain of goodness spread, enchanting vacationers, whose hordes attracted the attention of food and travel writers, whose rhapsodizing drew morning show hosts and television chefs, whose delirium called forth ever more vacationers.
Behold! In your hand rests the lobster roll known 'round the world.
But how did it get here?
To answer that question, we're going to deconstruct your roll and rewind its journey from take-out window to sea. (Relax. We're speaking figuratively. You may go ahead and eat your lobster roll.)
Minutes before your sandwich emerged from the kitchen in its foil wrapping, the day's lobster roll queen — most likely Shannon Moody — was assembling it on a two-by-two-foot square of countertop. Dipping her gloved hand into a plastic container, Shannon grabbed large pieces of lobster, ripped them into chunks (she never, never, never, ever uses a knife, which can impart an oxidized-metal flavor to seafood), and stuffed them into an expertly grilled split-top hot dog bun. Next, Shannon snugged the meat from two whole claws into the bun so they poked from each end like rose-colored mittens waving for attention. Finally, she crowned her creation with a whole, split lobster tail. Not once did Shannon weigh the meat; her eyes and fingers did the measuring.
The fresh lobster meat that Shannon piled into your roll arrived at Red's Eats this very morning between 11 and 11:30 a.m. aboard a refrigerated truck from Atlantic Edge Lobster, a small shellfish processor on the water in Boothbay Harbor. (Red's also buys lobster meat from Maine Shellfish in Ellsworth.) That meat came from lobsters that yesterday were very much alive, crawling around in holding tanks until they were dropped into industrial-size pots of boiling water. Fifteen minutes or so later, the cooked lobsters were deposited on a table, where three shuckers began snapping off tails and gently cracking claws with hammers to extract the meat within.
Thirty lobsterboats had deposited the iconic Maine crustaceans to the company docks a day or two before. Perhaps the meat in your sandwich came from the lobsters swimming in the holding tank of the Optical Illusion captained by Nick Hawke. The day your lobster was caught, Hawke and his sternman met on the dock in Southport at 5:15 a.m. to load barrels of bait. By 6 a.m. they were motoring out to Hawke's first orange and white buoy. By day's end Hawke delivered the contents of three hundred traps to Atlantic Edge, where they were launched on their journey to your lobster roll.
Test Your Red's IQ
1) How many tons of fresh picked lobster meat are piled into split-top rolls at Red's from mid-April to mid-October?
2) How many pounds of butter are used daily for cooking and drizzling atop lobster rolls?
3) What is the average length of time you can expect to wait to place your order in July and August?
A) one hour B) forty-five minutes C) one-and-a-half hours
4) Next to the lobster rolls, fried haddock is the most popular item on the Red's menu. How many pounds are cooked daily?
A) 5 to 10 B) 11 to 15 C) 16 to 25
5) How many pounds of Spanish onions does it take to meet the weekly demand for onion rings?
ANSWERS: 1) C. Red's doesn't measure its servings, but the estimate is 34,000 to 45,000 lobster rolls each season, or approximately 8.5 tons. 2) B. 3) B. Some customers have reported waits as long as two hours; however, they still say the food was worth it. 4) C. Not all of the haddock is fried. Red's cooks happily accommodate orders for grilled haddock. 5) C.
Red's Famous Lobster Roll
If you want to cook and pick your own lobster meat, plan on one 1- to-11/2 pound hardshell lobster or two to three 1- to 11/2-pound softshell lobsters per roll. (Do not use
frozen lobster meat; that is a sin.)
1 split-top hot dog bun, sides brushed with melted butter
plenty of fresh, cooked lobster meat, including two whole claws and a whole tail, deveined and split
drawn butter, optional
mayonnaise, preferably extra heavy, optional
Grill the hot dog bun until sides are toasted and golden. This takes just a few minutes.
Rip lobster meat into chunks and fill the middle of the roll. Put the whole claws at each side of the roll and put the split lobster tail on top.
Ogle your sandwich. Eat as is or drizzled with drawn butter or mayonnaise. Wish you had made two.
Lobster Rolls
For the past 15+yrs, after a weekend extended family camping trip in the Calais area, my husband and I have driven home via Route 1. We take 3-4 days to poke into different penisula's and small towns and take in the awesome coast of Maine. [We are Mainer's, born here and have lived in Maine all our life.] On our trips, one of my quests has been to find the best lobster roll and lobster stew. For the lobster stew, the best by far, was at the Lobster Pot in Cape Porpoise, not far from our home. Unfortunately, the Lobster Pot Restaurant is no longer. There is another restaurant there. The closest I came for a lobster roll was a small take-out in Blue Hill. We have eaten at Red's Eats and yes, we are probably one of a very few that did not like it. The lobster meat was stone cold and tasteless and we were so puzzled when we got a side of drawn butter. What do we do w/this? The best lobster roll, for us, is made in our own kitchen. Lobsters cooked fresh and the lobster meat slightly warm when used, mixed up with just a little mayo served in a hot dog roll toasted golden brown. Lesley Brown, West Kennebunk, Maine
Lobster Rolls
I lived in Cape Porpoise as a teenager when my Dad was the minister of the Methodist Church there. I remember the Lobster Pot, not the lobster rolls, but the lobster.
Thanks for the memories.

When Gertrude Stein Toured America
A 1934 barnstorming visit to her native country transformed Stein from a noteworthy but rarely glimpsed author into a national celebrity
- By Megan Gambino
- Smithsonian.com, October 14, 2011, Subscribe
When people envision the life and times of Gertrude Stein, it is often in the context of 1920s Paris. Her home at 27 rue de Fleurus was a fabulously bohemian outpost, where she, Pablo Picasso, Henri Matisse and writers, including Ernest Hemingway and F. Scott Fitzgerald, discussed the merits of art. It was the type of salon that makes writers, artists and historians swoon, "If only I were a fly on the wall." Perhaps that is why Woody Allen transports his time-traveling character there in his latest film, Midnight in Paris. Gil, a modern-day Hollywood screenwriter portrayed by Owen Wilson, asks Stein (with Kathy Bates in the role) to read his fledgling novel.
The story of the writer's "salon years" is a familiar one, after all. Stein popularized that interlude in her most successful book, The Autobiography of Alice B. Toklas. But it is entirely fresh stories, as relayed by Wanda M. Corn, a leading authority on Stein, that we encounter in the Stanford art historian's "Seeing Gertrude Stein: Five Stories," an exhibition at the Smithsonian's National Portrait Gallery on view through January 22.
One of the five threads, or chapters, of Stein's life featured in the show is her triumphant return to America for a six-month lecture tour in 1934 and '35. Crisscrossing the country for 191 days, she gave 74 lectures in 37 cities in 23 states. The visit, highly publicized at the time, is little-known now, even though, as Corn asserts, "It is the trip that creates her solid, American celebrity."
Momentum Builds
During the 1920s and '30s, Stein's friends proposed that she visit the United States, suggesting that the journey might allow her to gain an American audience for her writing. Stein had departed California (after years of living outside of Pittsburgh, Baltimore and elsewhere in the country) for France in 1903 at age 27 and hadn't returned in nearly three decades. "I used to say that I would not go to America until I was a real lion a real celebrity at that time of course I did not really think I was going to be one," Stein would later write in Everybody's Autobiography.
For years, publishing houses regarded Stein's writing style, replete with repetition and little punctuation (think: "rose is a rose is a rose is a rose"), as incomprehensible. But in 1933, she at last achieved the mass appeal she desired when she used a clearer, more direct voice—what she'd later call her "audience voice"—in The Autobiography of Alice B. Toklas. In the States, in four summer issues, the Atlantic Monthly excerpted the best seller, a fictive memoir supposedly written from the perspective of Stein's partner, Alice. In the winter of 1934, Stein delivered another success—the libretto to American composer Virgil Thomson's opera Four Saints in Three Acts, which premiered in Hartford, Connecticut, and made a six-week run on Broadway.
"People were buzzing about who she was," says Corn. Vanity Fair even published a photograph of Stein on its letters page with a plea: "Please, Miss Stein and Miss Toklas, don't disappoint us: we do be expecting you!"
Arriving in New York
Stein and Toklas disembarked from the S.S. Champlain in New York City on October 24, 1934. When her ocean liner docked, the writer was thronged by a group of curious reporters eager for a firsthand look at the author. "She might have been a name prior to her coming on this trip, but it was a name without substance, because very few people had actually seen her," says Corn. Front-page articles carried by nearly every newspaper in New York City described her stocky stature and eccentric accoutrements—masculine shoes and a Robin Hoodesque hat.

In the 50s Stein's writing was required reading in literature classes. The Autobiography of Alice Toklas is a paean to her self-centered, ensimismado self. If she ever wanted to commit suicide all she had to do was to jump off her own ego.-Mr. Sol Biderman

Demetrius Brown's story is not just one of football. It is one of faith and family, and the strength and love found in both.
During the summer between his sophomore and junior year, he had to make the choice between attending football camp and a church youth camp.
"Instead of going to football camp, I went to church camp," said Brown. "I lost my starting spot and everyone was like 'that was stupid' and I said 'I didn't think it was.'"

The Blitz with Jeff Howe & Karen Guregian
Morning links: Stevan Ridley calls for help
Happy Thanksgiving, ya turkeys. Here are some links from today's Herald. Think of them as appetizers before the big meal.
For my main story, I spoke to Kevin Faulk about his conversation with Stevan Ridley about the younger back's fumbling issue. Read the story to find out what Faulk had to say.
Rob Gronkowski has regained his form
Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski is on pace for the second most productive season of his four-year career.
He's played five games in three months.
Despite being a mainstay on the injury report with forearm, back and hamstring ailments, it's not difficult to watch Gronkowski and see the player who was so dominant before the spell of injuries. If it weren't for his robo-arm, the remnants of his offseason procedures might be all but forgotten on game days.
Marcus Forston, Justin Green rejoin Patriots practice squad
After clearing waivers today, defensive tackle Marcus Forston and cornerback Justin Green have rejoined the Patriots practice squad, according to sources.
They were released yesterday to make room for defensive tackle Sealver Siliga and tight end D.J. Williams. Green made his NFL debut Sunday against the Broncos.
Their practice squad is now full with eight players.
Tom Brady has fun taking a spin in 'Gronk's World'
One of the most amusing topics from today dealt with the post-touchdown celebration between Tom Brady and Rob Gronkowski during the 34-31 overtime victory over the Broncos Sunday night. It came after Gronk scored late in the third quarter to draw the Pats to within a field goal after being down 24-0 at the half.
Brady was asked about his fired up back-and-forth exchange with Gronkowski, like they were speaking a language only they could understand.
The Patriot's quarterback laughed at the notion, then explained the animated dialogue.
J.J. Watt apparently doesn't know about the Texans' 'Homecoming' game against Pats
Maybe the letterman jackets will stay in the lockers this weekend.
On July 16, the Texans announced themes for every home game this season. Carrying over the theme from last season, when the Texans billed the games against the Patriots as the biggest in franchise history, they were understandably looking forward to their Week 13 clash in 2013. The Texans had high hopes for this season, only to see them crash with a franchise-worst nine-game losing streak.
Aaron Dobson held out with foot injury
The reason for Aaron Dobson's absence has been uncovered. He missed today's practice with a foot injury, and it's possible that played a role in his two second-half snaps against the Broncos.
Right tackle Marcus Cannon (ankle), cornerback Marquice Cole (shin) and linebacker Chris White (back) were also added to this week's injury report. No players were removed from today's report after the last edition Friday.
Here is the full report.
Did not practice:
RT Marcus Cannon (ankle)
WR Aaron Dobson (foot)
The Patriots promoted defensive tackle Sealver Siliga from the practice squad to the active roster today. Siliga has been on the practice squad since Oct. 23.
The Pats also signed rookie tackle Patrick Ford to the practice squad. They announced the signing of tight end D.J. Williams, who joined the team yesterday.
Bill Belichick: 'I haven't turned down a lot of food in my Thanksgiving lifetime'
Bill Belichick doesn't discriminate when it comes to his Thanksgiving meal.
When he was asked this morning if he prefers white meat or dark meat, Belichick replied, "Whatever is on the plate. I haven't turned down a lot of food in my Thanksgiving lifetime."
With everything? Maybe some potato, squash, stuffing, gravy, whatever?
"Whatever is on there," Belichick said. "I make sure to leave room for pumpkin pie. I don't want to fill up on everything and not be able to eat that pie."
Aaron Dobson misses first practice of season
Rookie wide receiver Aaron Dobson missed his first practice of the regular season today due to unknown reasons.
Dobson only played two plays in the second half of Sunday's victory against the Broncos. Kenbrell Thompkins started the half in his place, but Dobson replaced him for a pair of plays after Thompkins was shaken up. There was no apparent injury on the field, and the Patriots did not announce an official injury in the press box.
Chandler Jones, Tom Brady earn league recognition
The Patriots picked up some hardware today as both Chandler Jones and Tom Brady earned honors from the league.
Jones was named the AFC's Defensive Player of the Month for November, the first Patriot to receive that honor since safety Eugene Wilson did it back in September of 2004. Jones had 16 tackles and four sacks in the team's three November games and now has a total of 10.5 sacks for the season. He is fifth in the NFL in that category.

SW Capitol Highway and Vincent Place Sewer Repair Project
Sewer Work
Environmental Services has started construction on a project to replace a cracked and deteriorating 24-inch sewer pipe built in 1929 underneath SW Capitol Highway and Terwilliger Boulevard. The project will take up to five months to complete.
Noise Variance and Night Work
The Portland Noise Office granted Environmental Services a noise variance for construction on this project after normal work hours. Because of high daytime traffic volumes on SW Capitol Highway and Terwilliger Boulevard, there may be some overnight construction. The noise variance allows up to seven days of night work at SW Vincent and Terwilliger and up to 14 days of night work at SW Capitol Highway and Terwilliger.
The contractor will install a temporary sewage diversion pipe under SW Terwilliger Boulevard and two nearby pedestrian trails. A pump with a generator will operate around the clock for up to 60 days to move sewage around the construction area.
Restoring Native Plants
Environmental Services will remove invasive vegetation and restore native plants in the work areas. Revegetation will include planting 645 native trees and 1,217 shrubs and plants. Environmental Services will maintain the new plantings during the initial establishment period.
Construction Method
Environmental Services will use jack and bore construction to replace the pipe underneath SW Capitol Highway. The city's contractor will excavate a launch shaft in the vegetated pedestrian island on the north side of the highway and a receiving shaft on the south side. The contractor will bore underneath the highway horizontally from the launch shaft to the receiving shaft and push sewer pipe into place behind the boring machine without disturbing the surface.
The contractor will also replace a sewer pipe next to SW Vincent Place. This will require installing a temporary pipe in Terwilliger Boulevard and the pedestrian trail in George Himes Park to pump sewage around the construction area. Once the temporary pipe is installed, a pump and generator will operate around the clock until the sewer repair is complete. Bypass pumping could take from 60 to 75 days.
SW Capitol,Terwilliger and George Himes Park will remain open during construction. Environmental Services has obtained permits from the Bureau of Development Services and Portland Parks & Recreation to work in the park and in an environmental zone.
When construction is complete, Environmental Services will replant the pedestrian island with native vegetation.
Water Bureau and Transportation Work
Environmental Services is coordinating this project with the Portland Water Bureau and the Portland Bureau of Transportation. Following sewer construction, the Water Bureau will install a 24-inch water pipe to connect with the Burlingame water supply pipe and build service vaults in the pedestrian island between SW Terwilliger and SW Capitol. Water Bureau work is tentatively scheduled for 2014. For more information about this work contact the Portland Water Bureau at 503-823-7404.
In the project's final phase, the Portland Bureau of Transportation will reconstruct the sidewalk, curbs and the path through the pedestrian island. Transportation work will follow the sewer and water construction. For more information contact the Portland Bureau of Transportation at 503-823-5185.

All parents should know about inhalants (gases and vapors from common household products) that are intentionally inhaled. Although these products are used as "drugs," they are dangerous poisons that can cause serious injury throughout the body, and even death, when inhaled. Inhalant abuse among school-aged children has decreased in recent years but remains a significant problem. In a 2003 survey, the number of 10th and 12th graders who had used inhalants in the previous year had declined; however, the number of 8th graders who used these dangerous substances had increased. Nearly one of every 10 adolescents now reports having used inhalants at least once. The use of inhalants peaks around age 14 to 15 years (seventh through ninth grades), but may be seen in children as young as 6 to 8 years old. Parents should teach their children about the dangers of inhalants, as well as alcohol, tobacco and other drugs, at an early age.
Inhalants are poisonous gases and vapors that are released into the air from aerosol (spray) cans, fuels, solvents and solvent-based products. Inhalant abuse is also known as huffing or sniffing. Inhalants are popular because they can be found readily throughout the house, and therefore are easy to get. In addition, many adults do not know about inhalants and may not suspect they are being abused.
Examples of these products include:
Breathing gases and vapors from these products can cause permanent brain, nerve, kidney and liver damage. Chronic inhalant abuse is associated with school failure, behavior problems, withdrawal symptoms and abuse of other substances. Use of inhalants, even one time, can result in death from suffocation, choking, accidents or heart attacks (sudden sniffing death syndrome).
Some signs of possible inhalant abuse include:
The best way to prevent inhalant abuse is to talk with your children about the dangers of these types of products. Make it clear that inhalants are poisons. Let them know that even one-time use can be deadly. If possible, do not buy solvent-based products or products in spray cans that can be abused easily. Instead buy water-based versions or products in non-aerosol "pump" spray bottles. If solvent-based products are used in the home, keep them locked away and out of the sight and reach of children.
