text: Forgive me, as this is all off the top of my head - Hill doesn't believe that the AOP is anywhere near, and is still at Middleburg, regardless of Pettigrew's warning, seconded by Louis Young, who Hill had known previously. Hill sends 2 full divisions plus artillery to Gettysburg with the caveat of not bringing on a general engagement (as per Lee). Heth encounters Buford's pickets near Marsh Creek, and from the stubborn resistance they employ, knows it isn't militia. He deploys skirmishers to push them back, keeps the rest of the troops in column until they reach Herr Ridge, where he now deploys battle lines (meanwhile he must have communicated with Hill of the situation unfolding, and is still given the OK to proceed). Then on to Willoughby Run, and the infantry of the AOP engages him. The 2 sides are engaged, Archer & Davis are defeated and pushed back to Herr's Ridge. Some hours go by - and the CSA again engages the AOP. With the aforementioned, condensed version of events - where is, or what is Hill doing. Two thirds of his command are engaged, and he's not there as a guiding hand. And there is a lull (I take issue with that word), and Hill doesn't break it off and stand down, holding Herr's Ridge, until his guiding hand (Lee) appears to make further decisions. IMHO - Heth is being categorized along with Longstreet , Stuart & Ewell as the reason of failure at Gettysburg. Disclaimer: have not read the magazine article. Hill sent the 2 divisons - Hill contacted Ewell for Back up - Hill is the disbeliever that the AOP is not in the vicinity - so, why doesn't history lump Hill with all the other Corps commanders for the failure, instead of dumping on Heth. (2nd Disclaimer: I'm not related to Heth ;-D) Ok - Rant is over and I stand to be corrected(and thus learn). P.S. While typing this post - Jim's post arrived - and he sums up in a few words what my tome tried to put forth. Regards, Tom B. -----Original Message----- From: Tom Ryan Sent: Sunday, January 29, 2012 7:53 PM To: GDG Subject: Re: GDG- Harry Heth and the First Morning at Gettysburg Esteemed GDG Member Contributes: <<I'd suspect that given the fact Heth had not just his own division, put Pender's behind him and a good deal of artillery, that there wasn't much concern about his being able to handle any outriding cavalry he might encounter. As indeed he would have. Infantry was of course a different matter, but even there, after having suffered a reverse, Heth was under no immediate threat and, as I've said, reacted appropriately in awaiting further orders before renewing the action.>> Given that, it is instructive to read the author's conclusion which comes down pretty hard on Heth: "General Heth's lifelong guilty burden was, as at a minimum, about the wrong thing. He would have done better to regret the wasting of two brigades in an ill-conceived, hasty attack based on false beliefs, the drive to be approved by his superiors, and his impulsive nature." This conclusion takes into account Heth's military performance prior to Gettysburg.

Connecting Muslim Professionals - March 14, 2013
Posted on: Mar 14, 2013 By: editor In:General
The speakers are booked, the networking activities are set, and the guest list is looking awesome. With six years of investing in the success and future potential of the American Muslim community, the CAMP Summit is BACK and better than ever!
It has been described as the Muslim version of the TED Conference: a place to exchange ideas and build a network of people to reach out to for advice and support on the career front. Many of our members have found their professional families at the CAMP Summit, and continued those relationships at local area Chapter events.
Join us next week, on Saturday, March 23rd, for the Council for the Advancement of Muslim Professionals' Sixth Annual Leadership Summit, to see what it's all about. It's time we leverage our network, dream bigger, and achieve more -- not just for ourselves, but our community and its future generations. We have an amazing line-up of speakers and programming, great food, and the support of wonderful financial and community supporters
Executive Director's Message
Posted on: Jan 6, 2013 By: editor In:General
Assalamu Alaikum and on behalf of CAMP, I'd like to wish you a happy new year. I do hope you've had a chance to rest, relax and recharge over the winter break. In this the first newsletter of the year I'd like to introduce you to your CAMP team, but first I am thrilled to announce that details for our Summit have now been finalized - the 6th CAMP Leadership Summit will be held on Saturday, March 23rd at the Princeton Marriott at Forrestal in New Jersey.


text: Having sex in the back of your first love's truck in high school is cute, but doing it in dangerous locations has evolved into quite a chic art form for the sexually daring. And like all the finer things in life, it's all about location, location, location: If you are banging a hot banker in a chic restaurant with your La Perla corset on, you are an adventurous seductress. If you are busted under a blanket at a fraternity party with an empty six pack of Miller Lite next to your cotton panties, well that's a whole different story. We talked to real women and men and asked them where the craziest place they had sex was, and the answers were super hot. Here's our top 5 sexiest places to get down and dirty.

Families of September 11 is now operating as the For Action Initiative. The web pages on this site are available for informational purposes only. Please visit us at www.foractioninitiative.org.
Although we are in the midst of summer, many of you may already be thinking about the upcoming commemoration. Earlier this month, the NYC Mayor's Office sent a letter to family members detailing plans for this year's memorial ceremony. This year's September 11th observance will take place at Zuccotti Park, which is adjacent to the World Trade Center site at Liberty Street between Broadway and Church Street/Trinity Place. We realize that this may be upsetting and disappointing to some. The Mayor's office has announced this change is due to the ongoing construction efforts at the World Trade Center site and safety concerns. Please see the attached letter for more detailed information. If there are any future changes to the commemoration event, we will keep you informed.
This year, responders to the attack will deliver the reading of the names of the victims during the ceremony, while music will provide a backdrop throughout the program. If you are a responder, or would like to suggest an appropriate participant for the reading of the names during the ceremony, please email email@example.com or call (212) 442-8953 by August 3, 2007. The selection for the reading of names will be determined by lottery. Click here to view a copy of the letter.
FOS11 continues to monitor the progress at Ground Zero and will continue to share information as it is available. This month it was announced that Nazli Parvizi will be the new Commissioner at the Mayor's Community Assistance Unit. If you have any questions or if you would like updates about activities at Ground Zero, family members are welcome to contact her at 212-788-7418 or email email@example.com.

WTC Health Update --WTC Rescue and Recovery Workers Get One Year Extension to File for Worker's Compensation
The New York State Worker's Compensation Law was changed last year to allow people who worked as part of the rescue, recovery, or cleanup efforts to pre-register for benefits and preserves their right to file a claim even if they are not presently sick. The law applies to most rescue, recovery or cleanup workers who worked (paid or unpaid) in Lower Manhattan south of Canal or Pike Streets between Sept. 11, 2001 and Sept. 12, 2002. It also applies to rescue, recovery or cleanup workers who worked at the Staten Island landfill, the barge operation between Manhattan and Staten Island or the New York City morgue, and temporary morgues. The only workers who are not covered are those who are not in the workers' compensation system: NYC uniformed services (firefighters, police, and sanitation workers), NYC teachers and federal employees. Those workers are eligible if they performed any rescue, recovery or cleanup work off-duty, as a volunteer. Persons from out of state, who came to New York to volunteer for the above efforts, are also eligible to apply.
Registering now will protect your right to file a workers' compensation claim if you become sick at any time in the future. Click here to read a fact sheet regarding Workers' Compensation Registration. Click here to download the Claim Form and Instructions. People who need assistance in filing or who have questions can receive help by going to the New York Committee for Occupational Safety and Health (NYCOSH) website at: http://www.nycosh.org/index_workers_comp.html or by contacting NYCOSH's 24/7 hotline at (866) 982-2556.
Families of September11 also encourages all those who feel their health was affected by the terror attacks of 9/11 to visit our website Health Resources page to keep abreast of new developments. The Health Resources page contains up to date information on the latest news articles, medical reports, and treatment resources related to 9/11 health issues.
Ground Zero Update
Update on 9/11 Commission Bill
Families of September 11 remains hopeful that this bill will pass as a strong, thorough implementation of the many outstanding 9/11 Commission recommendations. It should improve aviation cargo security, allocate more homeland security funds based on risk and risk alone, recognize and protect against the threat of nuclear terrorism, and provide for a strong, independent privacy and civil liberties board, among other important provisions. We look forward to prompt passage of a strong bill in Congress and the support and signature of the President. We will be sure to keep you informed of the bill's progress.
Update on Mounir el Mottassadeq Trial
FOS11 Continues to Make Progress to Prevent Nuclear Terrorism
Public service announcements are currently running on television stations around the country. These announcements urge the general public to visit the informational website www.saferworld.org, which offers the latest information on nuclear terrorism issues and, most importantly, offers suggestions on what the public can do to keep nuclear materials out of the hands of terrorists. The public service announcements utilize the presence and comments by three FOS11 family members and Board members, Nancy Aronson, Carie Lemack and Elinor Stout. You can view any of these PSAs here.
You can also use the www.saferworld.org website to automatically send a FAX to your local television stations urging them to air the PSAs. More than 1,000 messages have already been sent. To date, the ads have been shown in 42 states – most recently in Ohio, Pennsylvania, New Mexico, Tennessee, Wisconsin, Texas and New York. Call us (212) 575-1878 or email firstname.lastname@example.com to let us know if you have seen any of the PSAs air on your television station.
If you can contribute a few hours, volunteers are needed to telephone the television stations and urge their running of the PSAs. Any volunteer time is much appreciated and need only take a few hours. If you are interested, please alert us by contacting (212) 575-1878 or email email@example.com. We welcome your help!
FOS11 is proud of the progress being made through our collaboration with NTI. Together, we have held screenings of the nuclear terrorism docudrama "Last Best Chance" and panel discussions about how ordinary citizens can help prevent nuclear terrorism at universities, with members of Congress and with organizations across the country. If you are interested in holding a screening of "Last Best Chance" in your community, asking your local television to air the public service announcements or learning more about the program and what you can do to help prevent nuclear terrorism, please visit the www.saferworld.org website.

WATCH: The O.J. Simpson Saga, 20 Years Ago Today
Where were you 20 years ago when THIS happened?
Twenty years ago, today, O.J. Simpson's ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and a friend, Ronald Goldman, were found stabbed to death in the Brentwood area of L.A.
Simpson, a famous actor, running back and Heisman Trophy winner who was one of the most recognizable personalities in the country, was implicated in the killings and would soon be charged with double murder.

Gadget – Xbox 360
Microsoft was the first company to launch a next-generation (now current generation) console, and the Xbox 360's incredible graphics power, excellent online service and super ergonomic controller made it an almost instant must-buy, despite a lacklustre range of launch titles. Six years on and it's still the best console around, in our humble opinion – red rings of death or not.
Film – Walk The Line
2005 wasn't a vintage year for movies, but this Johnny Cash biopic was one of the few films that shone. It owes its swag to compelling performances from Joaquin Phoenix as Cash and an adorable Reese Witherspoon as June Carter, plus a classic rags-to-riches-to-depression story and a bunch of great songs.
Game – God of War
The PS2's latter years were lit up by games like this, which used every bit of the console's ageing hardware to deliver superb visuals and stable action. God of War is old school in many ways – there's lots of button-mashing combos to master as you take blade-wielding baldy Kratos through a kill-em-all tour of ancient Greek mythology.
Music – Illinois, Sufjan Stevens
Singer-songwriter Sufjan Stevens' concept album about the US state (his second, after 2003's Michigan) is long, winding and clearly a work of genius. The epic Chicago may be the obvious highlight, but it's his subtle, dextrous exploration of people – the bedside friend of a dying cancer patient in Casimir Pulaski Day and the notorious serial killer in John Wayne Gacy, Jr – as a way to paint a picture of a place that linger longest in the memory.
Book – Never Let Me Go, Kazuo Ishiguro
1984, Children of Men... grim futures always seem grimmer when they're set in England's green and pleasant land, and this literary science fiction novel is no different. While Ishiguro's alternative Britain is no fascist dystopia, the fate of the principal characters – destined from birth and slowly unfolded to the reader in all its horrendous detail – is as unsettling and saddening as anything else you could read that year. Ignore the Keira Knightly movie adaptation – read this instead.
TV – The Office (US)
The announcement of a Yank remake of The Office may have plastered sneers all over the faces of television purists, but this show defied history to be one of the few transatlantic "reimaginings" worth watching. It may have gone on a bit too long (it's currently gearing up for an eighth season) and have become more like a regular sitcom than Ricky Gervais' painful-to-watch mockumentary, but it's funny – and that's what really matters, isn't it?
And finally...
2005 saw the first flight of the Airbus A380, the largest commercial passenger plane in the world. Cork in Ireland was designated the European Capital of Culture. And Arthur Miller, Anne Bancroft, Ted Heath, Ronnie Barker, Richard Pryor and George Best all shuffled off this mortal coil.

Student Midwife Seeking pregnant women in Eastern Suburbs of Melbourne
Hi ladies,
My name is Bianca and I am a second year student midwife at Australian Catholic University in Melbourne.
I am seeking pregnant women to participate in a Continuity of care program. The program allows me to offer you one on one support and follow you through your pregnancy experience. This means I will be with you at your antenatal appointments, the birth & after the birth (all if you wish). I can simply be there for a chat over coffee and to answer any questions you may have.
This program is completely confidential and you are free to withdraw at any time.
The program is beneficial to you and myself, and I have created lovely bonds with women from my first year of the program.
If you feel this may be something you would be interested in & you live in Melbourne, please contact me on 0422748053 or bianca mcdonald @ hotmail. com (all joined - the site would not let me post my email address??)
I am willing to travel so where you live should not be a problem for me
I look forward to hearing from you and meeting you.

Starter Kit TheBeerHouse Architecture
Mar 09, 2007 08:12 PM|yousaid|LINK
Well, we were having same discussion yesterday in the office. TheBeerHouse is a great application, but users must bear in mind that it was written by a guy who was writing a book. The biggest issue I have with it is that everything it too joined at the hip. By this I mean, it should have been VERY modular. By this I mean, if I want to turn off features, I should be able to, without having to do a lot of code thrashing. But the author obviously wanted to show how to design, and implement a solution based on 3-Tier model. I must say however that it is one of the BEST implementations of 3-Tier archtecture I have seen.
If the author intend to do a follow up, he should consider doing a thoroughly modular solution like DOTNET NUKE allowing developers to use only what they want, enable and disable modules as needed.
My 2cents
Mar 10, 2007 07:22 AM|Koen|LINK
I must agree. TBH has one of the best architectures of all starter kits. Especially the caching functionality is great.
I would however, suggest to read Marco's book when you are thinking about using the starterkit, to get an idea of his philisophy.
It does not contain modules that can be turned on or of and that's something you would expect from a CMS.
I think the TBH starter kit is moree a starterkit for developpers who want to extend a CMS system than for beginners who want to publish a simple site.
my 2cts
Mar 11, 2007 05:12 PM|PLB|LINK
There are a couple reasons why there have been no comparisons. First using a Starter Kit is like your first sex. You are only a virgin once. So its hard to compare first sex experiences - nobody has had two.
For example all Starter Kits (I presume) show you how to use themes or the role and membership features that are new to 2.0. When you first encounter new features they can seem a little odd or obscure. However after you are acquainted with them for a while they seem "natural" and easy. This is, after all, one reason why you use a Starter Kit. So if you originally used kit #1 you might have struggled a bit. When you tried kit #2 everything seemed obvious. Maybe life would have been simpler if you tried #2 before #1 - who can say?
There are a couple other reasons for using a particular Starter Kit rather than another. For example there's the desire to build an actual web site. In that case if you were going to try to build an eCommerce site you would be wise to choose the eCommerce Starter Kit - or The Beer House Starter Kit. Of course if you only wanted an eCommerce solution you could just buy AspDotNetStoreFront which supports ASP.NET 2.0. Presumably the commercial product will be more full featured and sophisticated than any free Starter Kit solution. So using a eCommerce focused Starter Kit solution only makes sense if you want to understand .NET 2.0 first and want to use an application (eCommerce) as an learning aid.
A great advantage of The Beer House as a learning aid is the associated book. TBH code is not modular as some have said. It is important for real world sites to disable certain features and this is a little tricky in TBH. TBH house has a Data Access Layer, a Business Logic Layer, stored procedures, and code behind. It can be tricky to trace some of the interconnections. Certainly it would be easier to customize if there were a control panel with check boxes that hid all the details. But would you actually learn much in that case?
Mar 12, 2007 12:08 PM|yousaid|LINK
I don't believe the author meant for the book to be used as a learning tool. Using the book as a learning tool is like using a tractor trailer to teach your sixteen year old how to drive. It is my opinion that the author meant to teach seasoned developers how to go from concept to production. However, many newbies saw the starter kit and jumped in.
Mar 12, 2007 06:05 PM|vvsharma|LINK
Any idea ,what this could be? Though,I was unable to spend some time on tracing the cause,I was wondering if any of you guys know what this is?

Hi there,
I am reading this book and I must agree with the guys that said that hi book isn't for the beginners.
I am an ASP.NET beginner but I have some programming experience. Some of you said that this kit isn't really modular. I am not really sure if I understand what you mean. Could you please show me a kit that is modular?
I would like to see how a modular starter kit looks like.
Jun 26, 2007 11:16 AM|fgoodrum|LINK
Yes, DNN does support c# when developing new modules.
Jul 08, 2007 10:11 AM|DKB|LINK
Hey whats a module is everybody refering to code or is it something like... say for instance a webpart or even a contact page that has been created by the wizard... oohh! MR. Wizard lol. Because if it is the later why can't you turn it off by going into the sitemap and comment out the page to turn it off.
Jul 08, 2007 10:20 AM|DKB|LINK
With all that has been written is anyone going to list the pros and cons I think I missed them.
Sep 27, 2007 10:00 PM|yousaid|LINK
A modular application is well, modular, meaning that it is more like webparts or self contained applications that are included in an app. For example, say you are building a CMS, you can include a Guestbook, A forum, A blog and ofcouse the news module. Now not everyone wants all these features. Instead of commenting them out, you simply don't include them. You disable them, but hey are still there. Let's say 2 years later you change your mind and now want to include those features, you simply go to the admin section of your site and turn them on and bingo, they are available.
You also decide to only run one module of a big application. Take a look at Community server,it is a blog, a forum, Cms, Picture app etc. Most people only use the blog module. A truely modular application will allow you to rip any one module and run it as a stand alone application.
Ok, as for the Pros and Cons of BeerHOuse, it depends on how advanced you are. For a professional developer, you can use this TBH kit as a framework for a world class application. It is a well built tool designed to showcase the depts you can push .Net framework.
Also, with a little modifications, you can modularize it and use it for a very well built CMS.
For a beginner, the most you can learn from it is how to build good applications, assuming you uderstand C#,
Hope this helps

ok guys, please let me know if i got this right:)
i still dont understand how TBH isnt moduler application!! it has several modules, built as user controls with normal aspx pages for the administration part, how is it any different than DNN modules! the only difference i can think off between DNN and TBH is that in DNN allowes (the site owner), to add a (new page). The site owner can login, plug a new(existing module) at any time since DNN is utilizing the webpart concept, the same can happen in TBH but the only difference is that you can plug(or remove) the module in an existing page!!. am not very aware about DNN framwork or how the modules are structured, maybe there is no seperate admin pages for DNN modules, meaning the (update, insert , delete..) operations can be called from the same user control that display lets the module data), maybe the module classes are included withing the control code behind file. if thats the case then the site owner need only to plug a module(online) without having to upload the admin pages with the necessary module classes as its the case with TBH..
is there any other difference?
Appreciate any comment

TBH is a fantastic starter kit. Probably the best one I have run across so far. Took me way up the learning curve. Plus a good scalable, modular architecture, plus a book. What's not to like?
Anyone want to compare it with the timetrakker starter kit? Hah!

In my point of view , this topic's getting really interesting and I quite like the statement that : "this Starter Kit isn't for beginner" since I am PHP dev and want study this BeerHouse Starter kit.
I think It could be helpful for people like us and Beginners if you as senior ASP.NET dev can tell us a shortcut way to take the BeerHouse StarterKit as sample application to learn about ASP.NET framework as well as how to build a greate Ecommerce Web App using ASP.NET .
Can you make a list of beginner - level tutorials that we need to accomplish before running into TBH?

I woul read the book.
then have it open while you are adapting the modules.
The n-tier-architecture stuff is still not entirely clear to me. And he has introduced a reasonably advanced cacheing feature, and then there is the SiteProvider module, which draws lots of parameters from ConfigSection.cs. I just follow-along down there, without really understanding what is going on. HTH.

I don't think its really necessary to see a "modular" starter kit to understand the definition of a modular project. Its really pretty simple. It means being able to remove/add specific functionality without breaking the entire website. Thats what modularity is. If you start writing code where default.aspx depends on webpage2.aspx which depends on webpage3.aspx which depends on something else, then you aren't writing a very modular project. Your project is not loosely coupled with other objects in the project.
My complaint with the book is similar to this complaint as many others have said already. I think its throws too much at a person too fast. Obviously, the author understands everything they teach but that doesn't mean the reader is going to understand everything the author teaches.
In some places, he talks to you like you are a beginner. In other places, he assumes your a seasoned pro. You gotta decide on who your target audience is "before" you start writing the book and not waffle between audiences as your writing it.
Another thing the book does is gives you a set of specific steps to follow and then just stops. He does say upfront that his book is a guide and not a step-by-step reference to building this website and Im okay with that. But again, it seems like he can't stick with his own decisions. If he's not gonna give me step by step instructions why even bother with things like, "
(select Website
Page, and name it
➪ Add New Item ➪ MasterTBHMain.master)
I hate to be too critical. I think this book has incredible potential for educating programmers on how to write awesome websites but it needs to be presented in a more procedural manner. A more modular manner. So that if I want to implement "Forums" in my website but not PayPal, I should be able to do that. And no doubt, making it more modular will make it more easy to learn. For instance, the implentation of implenting error logging with 3rd party tools. The implemntation of Twitter and Paypal. All that stuff is great but it needs to be shown in advanced chapters at the end of the book once the very basics of the website have been implemented. Move those chapters into a section called "Implementing Advanced Enterprise Features" or whatever. It needs to be implementable as optional components. I know it can be done.

de parking aan het hotel is een pluspunt, idem voor het parkeren van de fietsen. ook de mogelijkheid om je hond mee te brengen vind ik fijn.
The location of the hotel is ideal - in the middle of the city centre and a few steps away from the coast. For a four star hotel, you would expect airconditioning in the room. A toilet brush would also be appreciated.
In central position near beach and centre
room with satisfactory space; quiet (back); very efficient cleaning personnel who additionnally were multilingual and very nice ! New linen every day without asking it.Reception personnel, though not proactively "kind", was very helpful once you ask for something ...which is better than being kind without efficiency breakfast price/quality relation ist overdone, one can have perfect breakfast for half the price nearby. Parking fees are the same as official parking, and might be somewhat lower for guests who stay there for a number of nights (degressive tariff). Parking entrance very narrow for middle size cars already.
Excellent hotel, right by the beach, near to the casino. Would definitely recommend it to anybody thinking of having a short break or stop over in Ostend.
Excellent location near the venue of an event I attended. Spacious rooms. Professional staff. Only 2 tv channels available
Proximity to the beach, location is ok. Friendly staff, available to help. Rooms are ok, fair value for money.
Well positioned close to all the restaurants, promenade and casino. Hotel restaurant was good. No air conditioning. No tea and coffee making facility. Expensive for room with no sea view. Noisy at night.
we just liked the room...and the area. Breakfast was good. First we received a room which was not ready (10pm!!!)...we had requested a big bed room and we received a twin bed room. the personel of the hotel was not very kind!!
very comprehensive selection at breakfast.first class.
I liked that the hotel was very central with plenty of parking
I went on a short break with my wife and have stayed at this hotel before. We found the staff very friendly and the public areas of the hotel are were kept clean although the furniture at the front is a little worn. We enjoy a drink at the bar after having eaten out at one of the many local restaurants and the staff behind the bar are sociable and enjoy a conversation. The breakfast was enjoyable and there was a reasonable choice. Nice freshly ground coffee which I enjoy. The situation of the hotel is very good, just a short walk from many restaurants and bars as well as the shopping centre. The only downside was our room no 223 was looking as if it could do with a good makeover.The tea tray was brken in several places around the edge and needed throwing out and the wallpaper was dirty and coming loose at the joins. Despite this the bed was very comfortable and the room was cleaned daily to a good stndard and the cleaning staff were very pleasant.
great breakfast, friendly staff, good bed & pillows bathroom a bit aged
the room was cheap
All the staff were friendly, helpful and welcoming. The food was excellent with a wide choice of breakfast and evening meal buffet. The room was very comfortable and well maintained and the interconnecting doors for families was a real bonus. . The hotel is in a good location for local amenities and access to nearby secure local parking was really useful. We will definitely return here.
The location was ideal for the centre.Hotel had secure car park.Breakfast very good .A nice relaxing bar and lounge.Easy checking in /out .Staff very helpfull and friendly
Location, comfort of room. Room was quite small. Hotel parking expensive, street parking limited.
The low price, also the room was quiet at night The part of the hotel we were in was very cramped - room, corridors, staircases and lift. Breakfast was extensive but the hot buffet was warm at best.
There are a lot of good points: the location (very near the tram station), the room (spacious and comfortable, including the bathroom), the buffet breakfast(good variation and tasty) etc... One and only: there was no tea pot in the room, which was a bad surprise to us, Japanese. Almost all the hotels and lodges in Japan, the USA, Canada, New Zealand and so on have one for guests to use. We took some Japanese tea packs with us, which was just a mockery.
we had a family room which was very comfortable and spacious. Breakfast was good and with lots of choice. We found it a little too far from the central squares. If you hadnt managed to reserve a space outside the hotel the parking was difficult at times.
Clean, good service, nice swimming pool for kids
Location from ferrie terminal at Ostende and Dunkerke The room very poor lamps dont work hairdriyer dont work low budget room
i didn't receive dinner on one evening because you have to reserve in advance. I was never informed to do so. According to the personel it was impossible to add one person. Barservice was not good. They didn't walked the room, you had to order at the bar itself, not a problem, only when they are at the back, don't come at the bar and block the little bell with a paper, you get thirsty.
The Hotel it's very good. None.
The location was excellent. The breakfast was very good with plenty of choice. The early check-out time of 10am - it was a struggle to get teenagers up and fed and ready to leave by 10am.
We really liked the pool, sauna etc. It was small but very convenient. A big plus for us. Reason to stay at the hotel. we didn't know you had to make a reservation for dinner beforehand but got good directions to a perfect restaurant in town.
Breakfast was very good Staff were not very service minded Location was quite a long walk into the centre Swimming pool was very small
Breakfast was good. We arrived by 5p.m. and were told that we were too late to book in for dinner that night! with the number of guests in the hotel, I did not think that a small variation should have caused the kitchen too much problem with over 2 hours to prepare for this!. This soured our opinion and stay in the hotel.
You step out of the door, straight on to the beach. Impressive architecture, unpretentious, upmarket style and luxury. Staff were helpful. Nothing, strongly recommended.
The back door of the room opens onto a veranda / balcony directly adjacent to the beach, affording excellent beach views, sunsets, and the sound of the ocean lapping at the beach filling your room all night long if you leave the doors open. A bit on the pricey side given that it's a very nice but definitely aging hotel. That said, the location and see view rooms with balcony are worth the extra cost.
The Hotel is clean, comfortable and the staff are helpful, the hotel is located almost on the beach and in close proximity to beach front restaurants. There is a tram stop outside the hotel, although a relatively modest walk will take you into the town.
large rooms, the rooms and hotel still have their beautiful original style but comfort is there. Beautiful view on the sea from the room and from the breakfast room. noise from room nextdoors.
A quiet hotel with a very nice view on the north sea. Breakfast was excellent! It's a shame there's no Spa because this hotel has a perfect location for it. I called the reception from my room but they did not pick-up, not even a voice to tell you hold-on the line etc. The same number is the emergency number...strange!
Location to the amenities of the city as well as our own leisure activities No tea or coffee facilities in the room. his would have put my comfort score upto good from fair.
Location Needs refurbishing badly.
Excellent location. Beautiful view of beach, sea and Albert promenand. Room and bathroom are very big, with a beautiful seaview. It was also very calm in the room. There was very poor breakfast. No fish, no vegetable, a little fruits. And no tea and coffee facility in room. Rooms are out of fix.
sea view hotel staff
The location of the hotel is great and the terrace on the the palace room was spectacular For a room marketed as a palace room, the amenities were under par. No slippers, no bathrobe, cheap towels and toiletries do not belong in a palace. the room itself was excellent however.
Very good location and beautiful viw of sea/beach Room decor was very dark and dull
No tea making facilities in room
Sea view from the balcony, central clean and cosy. Not the hotel's fault but noisy building works next door.
Very impressed enjoyed our stay. Staff could not do enough for you and the hotel had many small touches that impressed very good value for money strange noises from plumbing
This is our second stay at the hotel and overall excellent . The staff are very good , comfortable room and breakfast is also good.The location is ideal for shops,bars , eating places plus the beach is a 2 minute walk.We will return again.Oostende is one very friendly no hassle easy to get round town and suits all age groups Nothing
I have stayed here several times and have each time been satisfed with the hotel. The breakfasts are good, rooms clean and of a decent size and you're within a stones throw of the city centre and the sea-side. Recomended! The only thing that I would suggest is that the sheets and blankets on the beds could be replaced with duvets as I find the former a little old fashioned, but otherwise no complaints.
Nothing special.... I'haven't lucky on this one... I asked for a triple room and i received and payed for a double, the room was small, and the bad for the kid was just by our side. the photos on the web about the triple room do not correspond at the real...
Location in Ostende, close to beach and shops. Good bars and restuarants nearby. Parking
Excellant breakfast,large selection. Very friendly and helpfull staff. Bedroom - good storage, extremely clean,useful additions to spot less bathroom. Perfect position,close to the seafront and shops/restraurants. Attractive lounge/bar.
Excellent position close to beach and town centre.
Very friendly and welcoming, ideal position in Ostend
The location is nice. The second day no additional toilet paper was given . We ran out.
Good, flexible staff. Cooperative with changes in booking breakfast relative simple, however sufficient
breakfast and the swimming pool No, but a couple of details would have made it even better
clean hotel top to bottom + very good staff no air conditioning charge for use of room safe
Friendly helpful staff, good breakfast menu, bar open 24 hours We wanted to use the sauna and steam room, the information in the hotel room did not say that you needed to reserve it in advance in order for it to heat up, so we were unable to use it when we wanted to
the staff were friendly and helpful at all times I felt to be made at home during my stay here the facilities were clean and up to date my room was kept clean throughout my stay I was not happy that the sauna and steam bath were advertised as part of the hotel facilities not listed as chargeable.....eight euros per person per hour....not proper...not fair!
staff very friendly and helpful. Breakfast could have been more choice, ie cooked bacon,beans etc. cost of hotel parking
Location to the Town, Cleanliness, Selection of Breakfast Items. Nothing to Comment.
a clean and pleasant hotel with a good bar
Ik vond de locatie heel handig. Ik lag op kamer 3040 , tot mijn spijt vlak naast de nogal rumoerige lift. Wanneer dan 's nachts klanten binnenkwamen was dit goed merkbaar aan de dichtvallende deur beneden en de geluiden van de lift. Ik had deze korte werkonderbreking geplant om even kunnen uit te rusten, dit is helaas mislukt. Ik vind het ook niet meer van deze tijd om 4€ per uur te vragen voor 'n internet verbinding. Het ontbijt was niet slecht maar ook niet uitbundig. Ik heb bv 's morgens geen spek kunnen vinden, toch nog altijd een klassieker dacht ik. Ook van het onbedekte 'prepare' vlees werd ik niet vrolijk.
coffee was weak!
THe whole experience was very nice. Breakfast good, staff helpful
They managed to change me from a smoking room to a non-smoking room during the Carneval weekend, which was great. They put me on a waiting list and surprisingly enough got a late cancellation. They are open 24 hours so you don't need to bring along your keys. I asked for a quiet room, and it was indeed very quiet. The bathroom is a bit odd, but fully functional.
Friendly staff,comfortable facilities
The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. The owners are on-site virtually every day and are very attentive. They offered great sightseeing recommendations and even lent me their personal copy of a Belgium road map when I needed one. The single room was fairly small as expected and the furnishings were basic but functional and comfortable. Great value for money and a good fairly central location - the beach, public transport and restaurants were all within a few blocks. I was able to use free street parking every night from 7 pm to 9 am next to the park approximately one block from the hotel. I would definitely stay there again.
for the price it was excellent .clean fresh room clean bathroom clean bathroom powerfull shower ,very quiet .breakfast just what i want hot coffee juice rolls ham and chesse
Comfortable and accessible hotel with modern facilities
relaxed atmosphere, nice friendy staff, good food, location. The double room was way too small, I saw four different double rooms and they were all too small but as I arrived late at night the big doble rooms had already gone.
Late breakfast. Late check-out on Sunday. Close to restaurants and shops. Bedroom quite small.
Breakfast was quite good Rooms were not clean, internet was not free, some of the lights didn't work, one whole morning without electricity, rooms where by far smaller than shown on the fotos for this price cathegory.
The Breakfast
The actual hotel room furnishings were OK , although Bathroom was poor and the air conditioning needed serviceing as it smelt of stagnent water when used. We were told by the manager that it had been used all summer and needed servicing!!!! The reception staff were very unhelpful, all corridors were dark and unlit to the point of being dangerous. Opposite the hotel, within 20 metres were building works, with builders dropping things into a metal skip at 7AM, next to your bedroom window. The window had to be open due to Air conditioning not working. Not sure how this hotel is rated 4 star, as its the worst 4 star I have ever stayed in.
Nice location, fair price-quality relation Bathroom, no parking closeby
Comfortable bed and pillows, flat screen TV, great shower, good breakfast No kettle and condiments in the room
Good breakfast and breakfast room; friendly staff Our streetside room was rather noisy into early evening hours. At 6.30 Sunday morning some revelers were shouting and singing all along the street for not quite 30 minutes. Had to leave windows open for air.
The Staff at your Hotel were really Friendly even though we have been to Ostend many times and in different hotel's we will certainly recommend the Acess Hotel and we will diffently use your hotel again as it was one of the friendlyest hotels we have stayed in Ostend .A big thank you to you all for making our few days there even more special
Very central to the town Noisy even on the 7th floor (at the front). Must book back room next time.
it was in an ideal location for shops and bars
Location Lack of WIFI anywhere in room
Gentleman on reception was helpful when the oxygen delivered for my brother did not work correctly he rang the people concerned and they arranged to visit the hotel that evening and sort out the problem We all three of us felt that this hotel was not worthy of its 4 stars, very small bar lounge, no apparent room service, only able to eat in the restaurant if meals ordered in the morning for the evening from a set menu with little or no choice, did not appear to do bar snacks, as no information was availbe in the hotel info leaflet in room
Staff very welcoming and friendly. Great hospitality. Nice family atmosphere. Would definitely stay there again. Room for single person a bit on the small side. Would have like tea/coffee making facilities in room.
Very friendly, conveniently situated, great breakfast, would stay again
Very friendly staff and excellent location
the friendliness of the staff nope
Really comfortable and staff excellent as was the beakfast.Would recommend the hotel.
Friendly staff, excellent breakfast, good rooms, great location - quiet side street but within easy walking distance (less than 5 mins) to the shops, restaurants, park and beach. The Hofkamers also had something which is a bit of a rarity in many hotels - a double room with TWO comfortable seats in it!!
Excellent breakfasts, good Internet connection, convinient location in the city and and in general very good service I don't remember such things
Noisy room (building work outside) was replaced by more adequate room Helpful hotel people, whatever the matter 2Nd room got had shower only, at the same price as room with bath Payment by cb upfront, at arrival.
This ws our 2nd timeto stay at this hotel and the owner was as friendly and helpful as ever. Breakfast fantastic
Very friendly staff. Breakfast was excellent with a vast choice, all tastes catered for. We ordered double room - but ended up with two single beds!!! Not good for romantic weekend!
Rooms in the hotel were very clean. Parking your car can be a bit of an adventure. Staff were very friendly and welcoming. Easy access to all the facilities, central for shopping, seafront& harbour, it is ideally situated. Would not hesitate to use the hotel again.Never had the opportunity to see the roof garden weather was quite poor. Very good value for money.
I had a very good night of sleep and enjoyed a fantastic breakfast - enormous choice -
The hotel is just in the middle of the street where the of the marina, in the middle of the harbour area. Great staff, nice breakfast, soft but VERY comfortable beds. Bathrooms are looking new and modern. The room had a window to the street but was relatively quiet, noise from the hotel was very low. Cleanliness and service were optimal.
Excellent breakfast, small but perfect for overnight stay.
it was situated in the town and near the harbour. you had to wait for the hotel to open the outer door to reception if you was late out as they locked it. what a pain!!!
It is a well run hotel. Apart from the fact that it was very difficult to get cold water out of the cold tap in our room (it was always tepid), the style of the shower made for some very difficult manouvers to stay within the shower curtain.
too noisy and no view on the port
we went my boyfriend and me foe a small honey moon and they gave as a felicitation card and a cava bottle as a present it was really nice
Great location next to the yacht basin and the pedestrian shopping street. Good choice of eating places adjacent
Location. Close to shops, restaurants and port. Road noise. No tea/coffee making facility in room
I found the on-site parking very good, it is underground and you need card access - which made me feel safe about leaving the car there. A local driver crashed into my car outside the hotel, and the hotel staff were very helpful to translate and contact the police. Food was ok (not amazing, but good). Swiming pool is nice. Location is 2min to the sea or 5min to the centre shopping area. The rooms could do with some renovation (cracks in the pain in the corridor), then again we were in the smoking area, the non-smoking area of the hotel was good.
This is the third time we have stayed in the hotel, and will be visiting again in the Summer. The staff are polite, friendly and speak excellent English.
regular stayer at this hotel. 2nd stay this year. Excellent service and the breakfast is better than ever!
The hotel is clean, the staff are very friendly and would recomend them to family and friends, will be going back next year. The hotel is comfortable what ever part you stay in old or new. Nothing
frendly, proffesional aproach no
comfortable bed, (once thick plastic cover removed) parking, good breakfast included in the cost, comedy retro decor rotten floorboard, having to pay deposit for tv remote, smell of burning when tv switched on, problems in opening windows
Very friendly and helpful staff. Nothing
During our stay in the hotel, I liked best the swimming pool and the location. During our stay in the hotel I didn't like that the cleaning woman entered the room without knocking on the door, and the mattresses of the beds.
Pretty much - everything was okay. Not spectacular, not bad - simply okay.
15 minutes from railway station, 5 minutes from shops road works outside at moment noisey daytime
Friendly helpful staff and sea views No bar
sea view tiny room
Situated at the seaside The hotel
Location (sea-view and close to the city center) Old furniture, some things were damaged/broken, noisy, thin walls, maid starts to clean rooms early in the morning, concierge seemed unorganized and tried to handle different people at the same time, breakfast was ok (nothing fresh, nothing healthy), road constructions in front of the hotel
rooms with a splendid seeview
room and view n/a
very helpfull staff. position of family room in relation to the sea view.
Helpful staff,clean & modern roomsrelaxed atmosphere Not much choice of food
everthing was satisfactory.
Friendly staff, good restaurant, good location near station but quiet
It was very close to the train station, which was very comfortable for me, since I was coming by train. Nice view from the room. Excellent wifi connection from the room, there was even a pc in the lobby which was quite handy too. There was only one heating device in the room which was not enough for the room and the bathroom. The windows of the bathroom were not hermethic, therefore it was quite cold. It was snowing while I was there, and entering the bathroom was not pleasant being under heated.
We enjoyed the friendly service. The Hotel and rooms were all as described. Thanks, Robert
Generally welcoming, excellent location, good quality food at breakfasts and other meals
All round 10 out of 10 for this hotel. Easy to find, across the road from railway/bus station. Friendly reception. Immaculate and spacious room with dockside views and good double glazing if you want to keep the noise out. Handy for the local shops and nightlife and an excellent breakfast. Freebie WiFi was perfect.
Central position and excellent view from window
Good breakfast - friendly staff
good location,clean comfortable rooms,reception staff were on the ball and made sure all our needs wre catered for no noise at night and a reasonable breakfast buffet
Very friendly and helpful staff and an excellent restaurant
all of it breakfast was not for me
The room was extremely expensive for the facilities provided
Central location, clean & resonable price
Very friendly staff, nice breakfast. Also convenient for the casino opposite. Parking can be a problem (especially due to road works - Nov 2010) but patience finds a spot eventually. Need to pay from 9am but can buy ticket the night before. There is also a pay underground car park nearby - but I've never used it.
Good location Rooms were tired and breakfast was average
The staff was incredibly helpful and friendly. The rooms are comfortable and clean. This is my favourite hotel in Ostend and I stay there everytime I'm there.
very close to meeting venue and near to the beach (you could hear the sea!) and town was disapponited by lack of TV channels
I was surprised that they could not give me my Miles and Mores Points being a Best Western Hotel
good locatio near to town centre and near to beach. Underground parking close by. room clean spacious and comfortable. nice breafast included no hotel parking and municipal parking is a bit expensive
convenience to shopping, the beach and restaurants. Situation was quiet and in a nice area. Excellent breakfast buffet and rooms were very clean Private garage was not customer friendly, parking places were too tight and lighting is poor
Very good location in Ostend for the town, sea front, restaurants and casino, all within walking distance. Comfortable hotel, good breakfast choice and plenty of it. Reasonable single room price for our group. Parking in Ostend is always difficult, the car park for this hotel is not as close as we would like.
the location of the hotel was very convenient just 2 minutes walk from the beach and restaurants. the room was very comfortable and the breakfast was excellent - lots of choice and of good quality. The staff were very helpful It was quite expensive and it would have been nice if the bar had been open. This was closed over the weekend.
A good central hotel with excellent staff always willing to help
the staff were very helpful breakfast
Car parking arranged well. Good central location.
Very comfortable and spacious room and beautifully tiled bathroom, all spotlessly clean. Very helpful owners in constant attendance in reception and serving breakfast which was excellent. Good central location. We thoroughly enjoyed our two night stay and would highly recommend this hotel No onsite parking, but that cannot be expected in most city centre hotels. The owners directed us to a free parking area only 12-15 minutes walk away which was perfectly acceptable, but paying parking was available much closer if desired
Very clean, friendly staff, excellent breakfast, good location
Nice clean room, friendly staff and great breakfast. The en suite bathroom had a sliding door.....which did not close completely and seamlessly (a bit awkward).
This family ran hotel was very well run, the staff were friendly and helpful .Everything was spotlessly clean ,the food was perfect and the staff were always at hand replenishing everthing as it was been eaten
location not really ... maybe a missing restaurant, bar was closed
Nice, clean room. Comfy bed. Big bathroom. Friendly staff. OK breakfast. Parking nearby. Nice location. Simple, but worth the money.
Well situated for seafront,shopping and restaurants.Bedroom comfortable and good size as was the bathroom.
the location. in the middle of everything and esay to get to. i think it is time for the hotel to have flat screen tv in the room and try and get a few english cable channells.
A bit hard to find, but the location was excellent. Breakfast was terrific and the room comfortable and large.
Excellent location but there was no soap in the bathroom. I had to ask for a hairdryer and ironing board as they come as standard. Breakfast was simple but pleasant enough. The staff were pleasant. My room was stone cold. If the management knew I was coming they could have turned on the radiators. Little details make all the difference. After all it is November.
Good central location, handy for the 300 beer bar across the street, and all at affordable prices.
nice and central. it was clean and the family room was great.
The rooms clean, staff friendly and helpful, breakfast satisfactory, the hotel located close to the promenade. The hotel is nice and quiet but surrounded by several pubs with life music etc. therefore the area is rather noisy till the small hours. The rooms on the 4th floor are not as good as those shown on web site. Anyway, for money paid and booked at short notice it was reasonable for one night stay..
The view over the Regatta Sorica was wonderful. It was rather like owning a Canaletto!
The breakfast was quite pleasent but simple. Hotel matress was old and very uncomfortable to say the least, I hardly slept because of it. Not firm but very soft and springs pushing upwards. Lights overall in the Hotel were dim but the room is itself was fine. There were no shower but a small bath tub. Window opens & close but cannot lock it open to allow some fresh air to cirulate the room. Tv is old not big enough to view properly from the bed. Will not return there again.
location & friendliness of staff
Great staff! Rooms are getting cleaned about noon so they won't wake you up in the morning. Took like 1 minute to get to the stores and 2 minutes to get to the beach. Two single beds that have just been moved together. Advise: If you go there as couple you should definatly take at least 2 belts with you to keep the beds stucked together ;-) No door between room and restroom....
The location, interior design. There was no door between the room and the bathroom and the toilet was facing the window in the room! it is quite strange. I would put at least some curtain there.
Delicious breakfast !
- Nice small hotel, central location, fresh calm black&white design - nice bath long enough for medium tall person - breakfast very basic, I would expect more from the term "buffet breakfast" - absence of the door in the toilet&bathroom was very strange to me
Smart hotel, modern decor No door on bathroom, no hot water in morning. Manager denied this but it was true.
central location , friendly helpful staff no full shower in bathroom no tea coffee facitities
Thestaff were very obliging and hepful and the breakfast provide very good value for money
the breakfast,and the bed was clean and comfortable. rooms very small,imposible to allocate an extra bed for a child.Tv remote control didn't work. Shower incredible small.
The location of the hotel is great and the breakfast we got was nice.
Reception Staff were excellent and very helpful with recommendations on places to visit and how to get around .Breakfast staff also very good .The location is excellent and would be hard to better in the city .
Good location, and very good family room. Double room at the back was small and had a terrible view.
Buffet style breakfast, excellent breakfast staff, nothing to difficult to do. Its our 2nd stay in 18 months and think its a friendly hotel easy to find, parking round the corner at the casino. Rooms clean.
closeness to ostend
Cosy little hotel with nice employees. My single room was small, no W-Lan in room.
Our sheets were clean but had stains on them, my pillow was the most uncomfortable pillow ever. Not enough plugs in room. Not enough TV stations. The noise outside kept us awake all night.
its place is strategic to visit the city of Oostende, the price is also very good according to the service
We were upgraded to what seemed a more appropriate family room when we discovered our toilet didn't flush. I might not have given such a good review had we stayed in the significantly smaller room. The second room was nicely spacious and extremely well located. The day staff was very helpful and accommodating. The breakfast was included and had more and better variety than the breakfasts we paid extra for. I didn't like that we were put into a very small room at first with a broken toilet, or that because we didn't include a note requesting a child cot we weren't going to receive one. They redeemed themselves though by finding us a cot for the last night.
Good location The hotel smelled bad, the room was exremely small, with one window facing a bank of airconditioners on a wall opposite the window (no view). The room was dirty, with food from a previous guest still under the bed and lots of dust still stuck in corners. You only get one hotel room key. The walls are extremely thin and we were awoken several times fby other guests that opened their doors, and the doors to the hallway where we stayed. On top of that, it rained, so all in all we aren't happy at all about our stay.
Not happy that the fire alarm went off and was later to be found out that it was a false alarm.no one came around to inform the remaining people who were making there way out that it was a false alarm!
Staff very friendly, helpful. Breakfast very good. Value for money. Bedlinen very clean. A shock to be told cash only accepted on check in. Bathrooms in need of updating.
the location is spot on for bars, shops and the market, the room was clean to reasonable standard. situated on a pedestrian street is awkward for unloading bags etc, unless you're really lucky there is no view as the Hotel is terraced, the floorboards in the room creak when somone walks through the hallway. the bar is unwelcoming.
The price, location and facilities
Cood location, good price:-), A little bit noisy, small room.
The Hotel had a very good Breakfast with alot of choice for everyone: The Location for the Hotel was ideal for Shopping & Eating out. The Hotel is not far from the beach front & railway station. The Shower & Bath was rank. The hotel decor was poor and needed a paint up. Parking was terrible.
It is very central, close to the beach and shops. Hotel staff are very polite. Decent sized room. It could do with some renovation, fresh coat of paint, carpets etc.

National Geographic Channel on 9/11: Manipulation vs. Objectivity
By Dwain Deets and Gregg Roberts
AE911Truth plans to release a longer response than this one as soon as resources permit. In the meantime, readers are encouraged to examine these other recently published pieces:
Jim Hoffman, National Geographic Does 9/11: Another Icon Debased in Service of the Big Lie
Kevin Ryan, Finally, an Apology From the National Geographic Channel (with comments at Kevin Ryan's Blog)
Richard Gage, AIA, Gregg Roberts, and David Chandler, Evidence for the Explosive Demolition of World Trade Center, Building 7 on 9/11
National Geographic Channel (NGC) first broadcast its two-hour special misleadingly entitled "9/11: Science and Conspiracy," on August 31, 2009. NGC, with 67% ownership by Rupert Murdoch, posed as a neutral party explaining both sides in an ongoing dispute. In reality, it manipulated the presentation, doing many subtle and not so subtle things to support the side of the official story.
In actuality, this so-called documentary was a de facto hit piece, an assault on truth, and obviously skewed in support of the government's explanation of 9/11 and against "9/11 truth." Whatever their intentions, the producers failed completely in any supposed attempt at balanced reporting and a fair presentation of both sides of the story.
The Manipulation Channel
The first big manipulation was the use of a highly misleading title, suggesting that those supporting the official story represent the scientific viewpoint, while those questioning the official story are merely "conspiracy theorists" who have no science or scientists on their side. The truth is that those supporting the official story were manipulating and those questioning the official story were much more objective in their reasoning.
Most troubling, NGC used a devious tactic at program's end against those questioning the official story. These four leaders of the objective side (Dylan Avery, Richard Gage, David Ray Griffin, and Steven Jones) had pointed out shortcomings in the several "experiments" (better called pseudo-scientific demonstrations) sponsored by NGC. According to NGC, these experiments would answer the key questions in the dispute between the two sides, but the 9/11 skeptics were critical of each of the demonstrations, saying that each of them were irrelevant. NGC twisted this criticism of the experiments as evidence that 9/11 skeptics would refuse to accept any experimental results that work against their conclusions -- and would do so for that reason alone.

About South AustraliaView a map of South Australia wineries McLaren Vale, Coonawarra and Barossa Valley, South Australia produces some of the finest red wines of the country, and some say in the world. White wines gain their reputation from the distinctive Rieslings of Clare Valley and Eden Valley.
About Australia
Like the United States, which is about the same size, Australia's winemaking regions are huddled into one or two pockets of the country. The state of South Australia, which produces about 60% of the country's wine, also has the most wineries and sub-regions, including McLaren Vale, Clare Valley, Coonawarra and Barossa Valley. New South Wales is home to the Hunter Valley, while the smaller, southern state of Victoria is best known for theYarra Valley. Head way west to the very large state of Western Australia and you'll find the tiny region of Margaret River at the southern tip.

Tuesday, October 11 2011 - Anthrax
Scientists' Analysis Disputes F.B.I. Closing of Anthrax Case - FRONTLINE Investigative Broadcast
Scientists' Analysis Disputes F.B.I. Closing of Anthrax Case
A decade after wisps of anthrax sent through the mail killed 5 people, sickened 17 others and terrorized the nation, biologists and chemists still disagree on whether federal investigators got the right man and whether the F.B.I.'s long inquiry brushed aside important clues.
Now, three scientists argue that distinctive chemicals found in the dried anthrax spores -- including the unexpected presence of tin -- point to a high degree of manufacturing skill, contrary to federal reassurances that the attack germs were unsophisticated. The scientists make their case in a coming issue of the Journal of Bioterrorism & Biodefense.
F.B.I. documents reviewed by The New York Times show that bureau scientists focused on tin early in their eight-year investigation, calling it an "element of interest" and a potentially critical clue to the criminal case. They later dropped their lengthy inquiry, never mentioned tin publicly and never offered any detailed account of how they thought the powder had been made.
The new paper raises the prospect -- for the first time in a serious scientific forum -- that the Army biodefense expert identified by the F.B.I. as the perpetrator, Bruce E. Ivins, had help in obtaining his germ weapons or conceivably was innocent of the crime.
Both the chairwoman of a National Academy of Science panel that spent a year and a half reviewing the F.B.I.'s scientific work and the director of a new review by the Government Accountability Office said the paper raised important questions that should be addressed.

Frontline's 'Anthrax Files' takes hard look at FBI role in suicide
of Ft. Detrick scientist
October 10, 2011
Nobody does investigative journalism on TV like Public Television's "Frontline" -- nobody, and that includes "60 Minutes."
And Tuesday night at 9, the venerable series revisits Ft. Detrick in Frederick, Maryland, and the case of anthrax researcher Bruce Ivins who killed himself in 2008 as the FBI zeroed in on him as its prime suspect in the case of deadly envelopes of anthrax sent through the mail.
According to this hard-edged report done in partnership with McClatchy Newspapers and Propublica, the FBI did more than zero in. Under tremendous pressure to solve the case that started in 2001 with anthrax mailed to U.S. senators and network anchors, the agency squeezed Ivins hard -- using every trick in the book to get a confession out of him even as he insisted on his innocence to the end.
Ivins was a troubled guy with some distinctive kinks, the report acknowledges, but even FBI consultants in the case now admit that the agency overstated its evidence and never found a smoking gun to prove the researcher's guilt. In fact, evidence was revealed last summer that shows Ivins did not have the equipment needed to make the powdery kind of anthrax sent through the mail. That didn't stop the FBI then -- or now -- in acting like it found its man.
"The Anthrax Files" is a chilling report on several fronts.
First, it is a reminder of what paranoid and scary times have been living though since 2001 when the envelopes first appeared -- and the horrible events we just commemorated took place on September 11. These are indeed dark times, and with the economy getting worse and worse, there seems to be no light anywhere in sight.
Second, the report shows how a federal agency can shred an individual's life -- with or without the proper evidence to convict. "The Anthrax Files" suggests that anyone with the psychological issues Ivins had might have cracked under the weight of the FBI invading his privacy, exposing his secrets and ultimately getting him kicked out of the community of researchers that he called home at Ft. Detrick.
And finally, this is a chilling report, because if Ivins was not the person who sent the anthrax, then that killer is still on the loose. And we are left with an FBI that not only failed to solve such a huge case, but overstated and maybe lied about what it did accomplish.
"The Anthrax Files' premieres at 9 p.m (Eastern). Tuesday.
New Evidence Adds Doubt to FBI's Case Against Anthrax Suspect
October 10, 2011
WASHINGTON -- Months after the anthrax mailings that terrorized the nation in 2001, and long before he became the prime suspect, Army biologist Bruce Ivins sent his superiors an email offering to help scientists trace the killer.
Already, an FBI science consultant had concluded that the attack powder was made with a rare strain of anthrax known as Ames that's used in research laboratories worldwide.
In his December 2001 email, Ivins volunteered to help take things further. He said he had several variants of the Ames strain that could be tested in "ongoing genetic studies" aimed at tracing the origins of the powder that had killed five people. He mentioned several cultures by name, including a batch made mostly of Ames anthrax that had been grown for him at an Army base in Dugway, Utah.
Seven years later, as federal investigators prepared to charge him with the same crimes he'd offered to help solve, Ivins, who was 62, committed suicide. At a news conference, prosecutors voiced confidence that Ivins would have been found guilty. They said years of cutting-edge DNA analysis had borne fruit, proving that his spores were "effectively the murder weapon."
To many of Ivins' former colleagues at the germ research center in Fort Detrick, Md., where they worked, his invitation to test the Dugway material and other spores in his inventory is among numerous indications that the FBI got the wrong man.
What kind of murderer, they wonder, would ask the cops to test his own gun for ballistics?
To prosecutors, who later branded Ivins the killer in a lengthy report on the investigation, his solicitous email is trumped by a long chain of evidence, much of it circumstantial, that they say would have convinced a jury that he prepared the lethal powder right under the noses of some of the nation's foremost bio-defense scientists.
FRONTLINE, McClatchy and ProPublica have taken an in-depth look at the case against Ivins, conducting dozens of interviews and reviewing thousands of pages of FBI files. Much of the case remains unchallenged, notably the finding that the anthrax letters were mailed from Princeton, N.J., just steps from an office of the college sorority that Ivins was obsessed with for much of his adult life.
Was FBI's Science Good Enough to ID Anthrax Killer?
WASHINGTON -- In March 2007, federal agents convened an elite group of outside experts to evaluate the science that had traced the anthrax in the letters to a single flask at an Army lab in Maryland.
Laboratory work had built the heart of the case against Bruce Ivins, an Army researcher who controlled the flask. Investigators had invented a new form of genetic fingerprinting for the case, testing anthrax collected from U.S. and foreign labs for mutations detected in the attack powder.
Out of more than 1,000 samples, only eight had tested positive for four mutations found in the deadly germs sent to Congress and the news media.
Even so, the outside scientists, known as the "Red Team," urged the FBI to do more basic research into how and when the mutations arose to make sure the tests were "sound" and the results unchallengeable.
Jenifer Smith, a senior manager at the FBI's laboratory, shared the team's concerns. Smith recalled that she was worried the FBI didn't have a full understanding of the mutations and might see a trial judge throw out the key evidence.
"The admissibility hearing would have been very difficult," Smith recalled in an interview. "They had some good science, but they also had some holes that would have been very difficult to fill."
The FBI rebuffed the Red Team's suggestion, describing it as "an academic question with little probative value to the investigation."[Continued]
The Anthrax Files: The Essential Documents
