Ran the latencymon Found the following with the highest ISR count
hal.dll, i8042prt.sys, storport.sys,USBPORT.SYS, ndis.sys, ACPI.sys
It does say that the system appears to be suitable for playing real time audio without dropouts.
Too bad my laptop sounds like a electric bug catcher. ZAP! What can be done?
It's really bad on my x120e. Podcasts, Videos, anything with audio stutters every 1-2 mins.
Emailing Lenovo about getting a refund...
This x120e was suppose to replace my s12 atom (non-ion) which occasionally gave me a blue screen of death. I managed to look past that since it occured every month or so. But this is just absurd....

I got about 24 hours of use in before the stuttering audio appeared. This is especially problematic for me because I primarily use this computer for managing my music collection. I tried reinstalling the audio driver and that did not work.
I was noticing how slow the power management software loads, and decided to do away with it, as well as a few other Lenovo programs (but I don't think deleting those had anything to do with the fix). MY AUDIO NO LONGER STUTTERS. I'm pretty sure the power management software was to blame, but I'd like to wait a few stutterless days before declaring that fact.
EDIT: Computer stills stutters after being awakened from sleep, but less frequently with the lack of lenovo power manager.
Oh man!
Thanks for the fix!

Power Manager or Power Management? They're two wholly different things.
Try downloading the 11.2 Catalyst Southbridge drivers?
Power manager I think. It's gone now so I have no way of knowing for sure what the program was called. I also deleted the lenovo toolbar program that was next to the lenovo power manager on the taskbar, but deleting the lenovo power manager program and going back to the windows power manager has completely fixed the problem. I've noticed that all of the Lenovo software seems slow and somewhat buggy. I guess that's what happens when hardware people try to develop software.

The Audio Stuttering issue happens to me when I put the x120e to sleep and wake it up. Without fail it'll start having the audio issue. There is no problem with audio playback until I put the laptop to sleep.
For those who have cured it by deleting / uninstalling Power Manager, can you try putting the X120e to sleep and waking it up to see if the Audio Stutters?
Thanks in Advance
P.S. Restarting the laptop seem to fix the issue until I put it sleep again.
I checked with DPC latency checker, and it seems like the problem is with Wireless lan/Bluetooth.
If I turn the Wireless radio off, the latency comes back to normal.
They should do something with the Wireless driver so it can settle.
I slept it and woke it, and the stuttering came back. It's much less frequent than before, but back nonetheless. Before it was once every minute, and now it's about once every five minutes. So the power manager adds to the problem, but is not the problem itself. Hmmmm...

Although I have always been keenly aware that no legislator can accomplish anything alone, that point was underscored in the final days of this session. I owe a great debt of gratitude to our community for your help in passing a new law that will be vitally important to our children.
What's a Gold Award? In the past year, I have encountered this question countless times. As a Girl Scout, the Gold Award is the gold standard. But very few people know what it is or if brought up in passing conversation, the organization with which it is associated.
However, if you mention its equivalent, the Eagle Scout Award, the Boy Scouts of America immediately springs to mind.
After six years of peeling back layers of our corrupt state government, nothing should surprise us. And yet Judge Casey Manning's ruling was still a shock – it didn't seem possible for a judge to shut down a grand jury investigation into alleged corruption by the speaker of the house and argue that Bobby Harrell's staff and colleagues on the House Ethics Committee must first decide if he had committed a crime.
But it happened.
Every day on social media, I see posts bemoaning our young people and the future. It's easy to join in and criticize a different generation. However, the majority of the young people I know are pretty remarkable. And there are two prime examples calling the Red Rose City home of whom I am extremely proud.
Both Paige Duke and Julie Roberts found success nationally. Both faced adversity that could have ruined their careers, but each one has emerged victorious.
Duke two-time victim
As we celebrate our nation's birthday, let us remember our responsibilities to government and its responsibilities to us.
The Bible teaches that believers are to be law-abiding citizens; they are to "be subject unto the higher powers," because "the powers that be are ordained of God" (Romans 13:1). Joseph traveled from Nazareth to Bethlehem at the time of Jesus' birth to obey the Roman government's decree that a census be taken.
I attended the special Lancaster County Council meeting about the I-77 Alliance snub. I sat in the back. I was a little late and couldn't get my name on the list to speak.
So, I figured I would stay for the meeting. I couldn't believe what I heard and witnessed. This whole issue is personal, it has nothing to do with any law-breaking or violation of any ordinance. The action taken by the council to freeze Lancaster County Economic Corp. (LCEDC) budget, in my opinion, is an abuse of power.
At the June 9 Lancaster County Council meeting, when introducing the development agreements, Council Chairman Larry McCullough indicated that the MI Homes development agreement included a payment of $500 per house to the county for the benefit of Lancaster County School District.
McCullough further indicated that provision had been made by the Lancaster County Planning Commission that the school district be given a 30-day opportunity to suggest a contribution level that was more representative of the cost of constructing a new school.
After the Benghazi attack President Barack Obama went on The View and said this about the attack, "We don't know what happened, it looks like a response to a video." Then in the debates of 2012, when challenged by Mitt Romney about the video story he said, "We knew the next day that it was a terrorist attack and I said so in the Rose Garden speech the next day." He was supported by the moderator which showed her obvious bias, considering it was at best an interpretation of his comments and at worst an out right lie.
The string of headlines on ethics issues over the past six years means the time has come to strengthen our laws. Recently, the House put the finishing touches on a bi-partisan Ethics Reform Act that passed 110-0. A true recounting of this issue would take many pages, so here are a few of the major reforms our Ethics Reform Act fixes:
Exactly 40 years ago this summer, a brash 36-year-old reformer running for governor called the state Senate "a den of thieves." A majority of Democratic voters agreed with him, and Charles D. "Pug" Ravenel won the primary to become the Democratic Party's nominee.

3 Reasons You Should Learn To Sail On A Small Boat
Being able to maneuver a boat through the open sea is a goal that many people share. Without proper training, sailing can quickly become a deadly activity. While it might seem easier to learn how to operate a larger vessel, there are some significant benefits to be had by learning to sail on a small boat. Here are three reasons to consider small-boat sailing lessons if you want to be a better captain in the future. 1. Small boats are more reactive to wave patterns. When sailing in a small vessel, the pattern of the ocean's waves can more easily affect how your boat performs. By opting to start out your sailing experience with lessons on a small boat, you will be able to learn the effect varying wave patterns have on a boat. Feeling your small boat react to breaking inlets or large waves will allow you to better identify what a larger boat can or can't handle as you negotiate open-sea sailing situations in the future. 2. Small boats require greater awareness of environmental conditions. Captaining a larger sailing vessel has its advantages when it comes to being able to rely on technology to chart your course. Since a large vessel is able to withstand more variance in environmental conditions (wind, wave patterns, etc.), learning to sail on a bigger ship can cause you to develop a lack of environmental awareness. You must remain constantly vigilant of your surroundings when sailing on a small boat, since any change could cause the boat to capsize. Honing your awareness of wind speed and direction, and wave direction and type on a small vessel will help you keep your head out of the cockpit in a larger vessel and reduce your reliance on electronic sailing devices. 3. Small boats allow you to learn to navigate into port without engine power. Many sailboat captains rely on their engines to help bring them into port, since docking a vessel using wind power alone can be incredibly challenging. Smaller vessels often aren't equipped with engines, so you are forced to learn how to navigate close enough to port to be pushed in by your tender without the help of an engine. Developing this valuable skill can prove essential when you make the transition to sailing a larger vessel. Engines can (and do) fail, and being able to apply the wind-driven docking skills you learned on a small vessel to your larger ship could save you money on towing fees in the future. If you are thinking of learning to sail, be sure that you take the time to consider the benefits of learning on a smaller vessel, such as with Trillium Marine...read more
3 Reasons You Shouldn't Bring Your Golf Clubs On A Golf Vacation
If you are preparing to head to a golf resort for an upcoming vacation, the first thing that you might be thinking about packing is your set of golf clubs. However, in many cases, it is best to leave them at home and rent at the golf course instead. If you still aren't convinced, consider these three reasons to do so. 1. Save on Airfare Depending on which airline you are flying with and how big your golf bag is, you could wind up paying considerable baggage fees for bringing your clubs with you. In many cases, the savings of leaving them home over bringing them on the airplane can actually more than pay for the club rental when you get to the resort. Plus, you don't want to have to worry about them getting lost, and you might not want to drag them through the airport when you're catching flights, either. 2. Don't Drag Yourself Down at the Resort Even though your main reason for traveling to a golf resort for your vacation might be because you want to golf, chances are good that there will be plenty of other things at the golf resort that might catch your eye. If you are dragging your clubs with you, you may find yourself bringing them into restaurants, spas or other places when you would rather not do so, or you might have to run back and forth to your room to put them away when you want to do other things. When you're able to simply return the clubs to the rental shop at the golf course when you're ready to do other things, you won't have to worry about them weighing you down. 3. Use the Right Clubs for the Course Depending on where you are traveling to, you might find that the course is very different from what you're playing on at home. There are even desert golf courses, sandy courses and other types. By renting when you get there, you can scope out the course and rent the right golf clubs for the course that you will be playing on. You may even have the chance to try out new types of clubs that you haven't tried before. As you can see, it's often a better idea to leave your golf clubs at home when you are on a golf vacation. Then, you'll be able to enjoy these three perks while you're traveling. Contact a club like Meadowlands Golf Club At Sylvan Lake Edmonton for more...read more
A Few Things To Ask Before Making An Appointment To Skydive
Some people will tell you that jumping out of a perfectly good airplane is a bit crazy. However, it can also be one of the most exhilarating things you will ever experience. If you are looking for a true thrill that is still safe, skydiving is one of the least dangerous activities you could choose. It is safer than riding motorcycles, hang-gliding, and canoeing, to name a few. If you have decided to give it a try, here are a few things you should ask the company who will be taking you up before you set up an appointment or head to the nearest drop zone. Restrictions Different skydiving companies are going to have different rules and restrictions about who can jump. If you have never taken a class or jumped before, you are probably going to be doing a tandem jump. While people under 18 years of age may be allowed to tandem jump if a parent signs a waiver, it is not common practice. In addition, since you will be attached to an experienced jumper, there will probably be a weight limit. This limit may be determined according to the person you will be jumping with; if you are jumping with a big, strong person, the weight limit may be a bit more than if you are going to be with someone smaller and not so strong. Backing Out While it might seem like a great idea when you are talking with your friends, once you get up in that plane it could be a different story. Of course no one can actually force you out of the plane, but you need to know if you will still have to pay for it if you decide not to jump. Some companies will reimburse and some will not. You may find that you will receive a portion of your money back if you get in the plane and then change your mind, and some will only give you a refund if you never leave the ground. Gear You will be given a set of goggles and perhaps a helmet. Some places offer simple goggles that may not fit over your eyeglasses. If possible, buy a pair yourself that will hold your glasses in place comfortably; you want to be able to see everything as you are floating around up there. In addition, some places have a soft cloth or leather helmet. If you want something more sturdy, ask if you can bring your own, perhaps a motorcycle helmet would do. Don't be afraid to ask the dive instructor what to expect; they can usually give a pretty accurate description of how things will feel. Of course, nothing can really prepare you for your first dive, but his or her insight may help you get over the jitters so you can truly enjoy the experience. Contact an instructor from a company like Skydive Burnaby or wherever you are planning to skydive so you can be better prepared for your...read more
Tips For Adults Who Want To Learn To Swim
Although most people think of children when they think about learning to swim, the truth is that people of all ages find themselves wanting to learn basic swimming skills. If you never learned how to swim as a child, you may think about wanting to learn but hesitate because you're older. Don't let your age discourage you from seeking out the adventures that you want to have. Here are some tips to help you out as you learn how to swim. Be Prepared for the Water Especially if you never had any swimming exposure as a child, you may feel a little bit apprehensive about actually getting into the water. If you don't like water in your eyes, be as prepared as possible. For example, investing in a pair of swim goggles will help you keep the water out of your eyes. This is particularly important if you want to be able to focus on learning swimming skills without concerns about comfort. Look for a pair that fits your face comfortably and stays firmly in place without hurting your face or slipping in the water. Spend As Much Time in the Pool as You Can Kids often have a lot more recreation time than adults do, so it requires a conscious effort on your part to plan as much time as possible to practice your swimming skills. Look for the open swim times at a local pool (such as Cedar Springs Health Racquet & Sportsclub) and consider recruiting a young relative to go with you for family swim times to give you more time to practice. It may even mean joining a gym with an indoor pool so you can spend a half-hour or so swimming on your lunch breaks. Take Lessons While most swimming lessons are geared to kids, that doesn't mean that you're left learning on your own. If you can't find swimming lessons for adults in your area, talk with the swim instructor of the kids' classes and ask about starting one. Sometimes, the inquiry is enough to get things going. Swim lessons are a great way to get yourself some extra time in the pool and also help you with proper instruction on technique. Don't be afraid to ask questions and take the advice to heart so that you can improve your skills. Just remember that you'll have to put the effort in, otherwise it isn't helpful. Use the Equipment Available to You Some adults find themselves uncomfortable with the idea of using things like kickboards, flippers and snorkels while learning. These things can help you refine your skills more than you might think. For example, if you're new to putting your face in the water, a snorkel can allow you to focus on adjusting to the sensation and building your swimming skills before you have to start thinking about holding and timing your breath. For people with coordination issues, kickboards and flippers are great for practicing kicks and learning to synchronize your feet. Don't dismiss the benefit of things like this while you learn. You can gradually eliminate them when your skills warrant it. Don't let age or uncertainty keep you from learning to swim if that's what you want. With the tips here, you can overcome a few of the biggest struggles that...read more
Three Factors To Consider When Shopping For A Used Boat
Whether you're an avid fisher, water sports enthusiast or a cottage owner who simply enjoys cruising around the lake as the sun sets, buying a boat is something that often sits atop your wishlist. If buying a shiny new boat doesn't suit your budget, many boat dealers offer an impressive selection of new products that can be a steal. While reputable dealers put their used boats through an intensive inspection to ensure that each boat will meet the demands of its new owners, there are a number of factors to keep in mind when you're shopping in the used market. Here are three things to keep in mind. Check For Chair Looseness When you test out the seats of each used boat you're considering, your primary focus is comfort. It's important, however, to give each seat a slight wiggle to see if its support post moves around the base. You want to see rigidity in this area; if the support post has some degree of play, you're getting a sign that the floor of the boat may have suffered water damage in the past. While the carpet will hide any signs of damage, movement in the chair support posts is an indicator of rot in the wooden floor below the carpet, and a cause for concern. Watch Out For Corrosion As you inspect the boat, look at any metal hardware, such as the screws around the gauges on the dashboard, for signs of corrosion. A slight degree of corrosion can be a common sign of aging, but if you see a concerning amount of corrosion, it's an indicator that the boat hasn't necessarily been well cared for by its previous owner. Corroded hardware can lead to future problems; you'll often be able to tell the degree of corrosion, beyond the visual element, by gently touching any corroded areas. If they're loose, they'll likely need to be replaced before long. Make Sure The Canvas Cover Works Used boats often have their canvas covers removed to allow access for customers, but don't forget to check this integral item. While the cover might have some partial sun bleaching, you should be concerned if the domes or zippers are missing or broken. Don't be afraid to put the cover in place to ensure it's functional; though a minor detail compared to the rest of the boat, a cover that doesn't fit can be expensive to replace. For more information, contact companies like Captain's Village...read more
Firearms Courses That Satisfy Girl Guide And Scouts Canada Badges: What To Expect
Whether you join Girl Guides of Canada or Scouts Canada as a boy or girl, eventually you will want to complete all of your requirements for your outdoor recreation badges. This includes learning how to shoot guns properly and safely. You can complete these courses either with your troop or alone with your parent or guardian supervising. Here is what you can expect after you enroll in a firearms course that satisfies your badge requirements. Firearms Safety First and foremost, you will be taught firearms safety. This may mean several minutes on the target range with no shooting involved, or it may mean several hours in a classroom learning about the different parts of a gun, how to clean it safely, how to aim a gun, how to fire a gun, and what types of protective equipment you need to wear while on the range. It all depends on the type of course you take and through which organization you take the course. Shooting with BB Guns More often than not, when you contact an organization in regards to a Canadian firearms course or firearms shooting course for your scouting badges, you will be trained on BB guns. These are the only guns that can shoot both rubber shot and metal shot, which makes them ideal for teaching scouts how to shoot and avoid injuries. As you prove to the instructor that you practice firearms safety and practice it well, you will move from rubber shot to metal shot in your BB gun for target practice. BB guns are frequently used in beginner firearms courses for scouts. Hand guns and rifles are used in intermediate and advanced courses for scouts who already have taken and passed firearms safety and the beginner course. Training and Shooting with Protective Equipment Most beginner firearms courses may provide protective eyewear and noise-canceling headphones to protect your eyes and ears from shot or bullets that bounce back and the noise-deafening sounds on a shooting range. Other courses may lend you the eyewear and headphones until you have purchased your own. If you intend to take intermediate and advanced firearms courses to fulfill your badge requirements in graduated levels of scouting, you should definitely buy your own safety goggles and headphones because the intermediate and advanced course instructors will typically expect you to provide your own. You will not be allowed on the shooting range without proper protective equipment, regardless of your level of experience with...read more
Useful And Fun Reasons To Charter A Helicopter
Chartered helicopter rides are a favorite for many tourists in areas like the Grand Canyon and are a way for creative boyfriends to propose to their loved ones. Companies that sell these services to the public are willing to fly anywhere, as long as it is safe and the air space is not restricted. This makes it possible to hire them for a number of reasons. Here are a few ideas. Scout out Hunting Spots No matter what is being hunted, wildlife is always the most abundant in remote, hard to access areas. Scouting out the perfect spot is time consuming and exhausting. It is especially frustrating when it takes a weekend to explore a few miles, only to discover the area is not as promising as it seemed. Helicopter rides make it easy to see miles of territory in minutes. With a GPS system, the perfect location can be locked in and the best route mapped out when back on the ground. Take Aerial Photos of Property Some professional photographers make a fortune photographing homes from the air. People can do this for themselves in two ways. One is to purchase a drone, the other is in a helicopter. Even though photos taken from drones can be attractive, it is easier to try new angles and effects when handling the camera personally. Plus, a helicopter ride is a lot more fun. Entertain Out of Town Guests Every friend or family member from out of town wants their host to show them around. What better way is there to make it so they can tell everybody back home that they actually saw everything? Point out specific features, historic places or scenic areas while up in the air and then take them to visit those places up close when back on the ground. Arrive in Style Limo rides and a horse and carriage have been used to drop off people at proms and weddings for years. Why not show up in something no one will be expecting? Obviously, this is not always going to work for churches and schools in busy urban areas, but when it is possible, it will be spectacular. Contact a charter company before finalizing too many plans to be certain they are able to help. Find out about prices, weight or passenger limits, and any other information that is pertinent to the event. Be certain to book their services well in advance and have a backup plan in case bad weather keeps everyone grounded. For a professional charter service, contact a company such as Qwest Helicopters...read more

On many maps, the Arctic seems like an afterthought. For example, commonly-used orthographic projections squeeze the Arctic's islands, ocean, and ice to the edge of the map, making the region appear indistinct and insignificant.
But as scientists participating in NASA's Operation IceBridge know, it is a large and diverse region. Usually defined as everything north of the Arctic Circle—or the tree line—the Arctic includes roughly 14.5 million square kilometers (5.5 million square miles). That's about the same size as Antarctica and 1.5 times the size of the continental United States.
The IceBridge team is conducting a multi-year aerial survey of the Arctic and Antarctica; they are currently in the midst of their 2014 campaign to the Arctic. The primary goal is to maintain continuity in ice measurements between NASA's Ice, Cloud, and Land Elevation Satellite (ICESat), which stopped functioning in 2009, and its successor, ICESat-2, scheduled for launch in 2017.
While satellites can survey the entire Arctic every few days and don't have to stop to refuel, NASA's P-3 Orion aircraft has a limited range and surveys a much smaller portion of the Arctic in much finer detail. As a result, the IceBridge team has to make hard choices about which areas to survey.
IceBridge project scientist Michael Studinger noted in a recent email that the crew had flown 34 missions since mid-March. The IceBridge team has shifted its base of operations multiple times, working out of Thule, in northern Greenland; Fairbanks, Alaska; and Kangerlussuaq, in west central Greenland. The last flight of the 2014 Arctic campaign is scheduled for May 23. To date, the P-3 has spent enough time in the air to have traveled between New York City and London 37 times or around the world at the equator three times.
Operating from three sites has allowed the team to collect data at a range of locations across Greenland, Alaska, Axel Heiberg Island, Ellesmere Island, Baffin Bay, the Chukchi Sea, the Beaufort Sea, and the North Pole. These three images offer a taste of the varied scenery that the scientists and engineers have seen during the flights.
The top one, taken from Fairbanks, shows forests with the Alaska Range in the distance. The second shows Eureka Sound on Ellesmere Island in the Canadian Arctic. The third shows a frozen fjord downstream of the Violin Glacier in East Greenland.

The tourism season is fast approaching and the Emery County Travel Bureau is busy supplying funds for advertising for upcoming events. The travel bureau meets every other month and includes members from Green River and Western Emery County. The meetings are rotated between Green River and Castle Dale. Tina Carter is the employee for the travel bureau and Mike McCandless is the current travel bureau chairman. Other members of the board include: Commissioner Jeff Horrocks, Eugene Swalberg, Keith Brady, Kelly Bayles, Ray Jeffs, Taina Benson, Mark H Williams and LaMar Guymon.
The transient room tax was reported to be up $2,000 over last year. In 2010, $288,666.20 was collected and in 2009 $286,147.39 was collected. The motels in the western side of the county have been full due to the overhaul last year at Huntington power plant. The current overhaul at Hunter power plant is seeing the same results as all area motels are filled extending to Price and Green River and points south.
The restaurant tax was established in Emery County in July 2009. In 2010, the first complete year of collecting the restaurant tax the amount totaled $44,078.42 in revenue for the travel bureau. Half of the restaurant tax collected has been dedicated to the trails committee for the establishment and maintenance of a trail system in the county for both motorized and non-motorized travel.
The travel bureau handles a number of requests for funding for specific events which occur in the county during the year, mainly in the summer months. The MECCA spring bike festival will be held on May 20-22 in Green River. Their fall Wedge mountain bike festival will be on Sept. 23-25. All funds granted by the travel bureau must be used for advertising and the promotion of the specific event.
A triathlon is being planned for Green River in August. The participants will run on the golf course, swim in the Green River and bike in the area. The ultra marathon is also planned in October at Goblin Valley.
The Emery County Fair and Desertview Pro Rodeo requested funds for promoting the events. The rodeo will be July 28-30 and the fair Aug. 3-6. The San Rafael Classic Triathlon will be held on July 9 at Huntington Lake State Park. The Mammoth Marathon's Little Grand Canyon Marathon, half, and 10 k. race will be on Sept. 10. They are now in their fourth year. They have had runners from New Zealand, Canada, Great Britain and every state participate in the race. Jared Haddock spoke to the travel bureau about the marathon and how it has grown each year. He is proud of the fact that last year 33 local runners participated in the event. "It really brings out a lot of people," said Haddock. The race begins at the Huntington City park and ends at the swinging bridge. The other race they are holding is the Crandall Canyon Marathon on July 30. Haddock said they are beginning promotion of the marathons now and are placing literature in packets at the other marathons including the Las Vegas and St. George marathons. An option for local businesses is they can contact him about placing literature from their businesses in the packets. The packets can also contain coupons and information about attractions in the area and can serve as a marketing tool for the region.
A representative from Go Utah was present to ask the travel bureau if they would like to continue their listing on the Go Utah website. Ninety percent of the hits to their site are from out of state visitors. There's a contact information screen where visitors to the site can obtain more information about a specific area they would like to visit. The travel bureau can choose the content for their page. The bureau approved a 12 month program for $2,295. From July to February there were 2,223 information requests processed from the Go Utah website.
One of the areas the travel bureau wants to work harder on is promoting the museums in the area. Bayles, board member, would also like to see superhost training be offered again to train service and hospitality workers to promote the area.
The trails committee is working on GPS coordinates for all the trails and trailheads in the county to be put on a map.
Another project for the travel bureau is the information booth at the Buckhorn Flat. The contract on the building for the information center has been put out for bid and will include a building, kiosks and picnic table areas with small pavilions. It is hoped the project will be complete by late spring. There will be hosts at the site during major holiday weekends and travel information available all the time. The restroom is already in place at the Buckhorn.
Guymon brought up the matter of the location of the travel bureau office. Tina Carter is the full-time employee and her office is a room in the county building. During the time she's been there she has only handled one walk-in customer for information. Guymon said an office has become available on the Huntington Main Street in the Hometown Market building on the south end. This location would afford more accessibility to visitors to the area. It also has a meeting room and storage space. Brochures and literature on the county and its attractions would be available to pass out to tourists. When Carter is out of the office, volunteers will staff the office to keep it open for tourist information.
Guymon said, "People visit our county all the time and head to the desert or the dinosaur quarry and don't ever talk to anyone. If the travel center is accessible, then the staff can promote our county and share information about what we have here."
The bureau talked of the need for a sign on the building and near the road so people will know travel information is available. The board approved the relocation of the travel bureau office to Huntington and the details will be worked out with the store owner.

SANDJAM Halifax Returns to the Waterfront in 2013(HALIFAX, May 16, 2013): SANDJAM Halifax returns to the Halifax waterfront this August 12-18! The international beach volleyball tournament will feature the top professional players from Canada, USA, Germany and England. As a special addition, for the first time in Atlantic Canada, we will host a tennis exhibition featuring former World #1 Player and current commentator Jim Courier.
"SANDJAM Halifax is a Sports & Entertainment property unlike any other in Atlantic Canada and a highlight of our short summer season," says Derek Martin, President of Sports & Entertainment Atlantic, producers of the unique event. "Sold-out crowds in the past two years have encouraged us to continue what we started, and we believe the changes made for this year's event will build on our momentum and improve the experience for our fans".
Sports & Entertainment Atlantic (S|E|A) will once again transform the Salter parking lot into a 2,000-seat stadium. It will first serve as a world-class Tennis stadium for a unique exhibition event, the Legends Cup, on August 12. This exhibition features Jim Courier versus another former legendary tennis pro, to be announced. The Legends Cup is the first high profile outdoor tennis event in the history of Atlantic Canada. Following the exhibition, the tennis court will be removed and 350 tonnes of sand will transform our waterfront stadium once again into a world-class beach volleyball venue for the first-ever Canada Cup.
"It's inspiring to see the ideas and passion that bring different opportunities and events like SANDJAM to the water's edge," says Colin MacLean, President & CEO, Waterfront Development, a founding partner of the event. "Creating more vibrancy in our city and making the Halifax waterfront an even more attractive place to explore is what we set out to do."
The Canadian men's and women's beach volleyball teams will begin their quest for the inaugural Canada Cup on the evening of Thursday, August 15. Four games featuring the teams from each country will be played under the lights from 6:00-10:00p.m. Round-robin play will continue Friday evening from 6:00-10:00p.m. and on Saturday afternoon from 12:00-4:00p.m. Semi-Finals take place on Saturday evening from 6:00-10:00p.m. and the Finals on Sunday from 2:00-4:00p.m.
The events will wrap-up with the Corona Beach Party on Sunday August 18 at 8:00p.m., allowing music fans to dance the night away on the sand. Stay tuned for additional events still to be announced. For tickets and information please visit www.sandjamhalifax.ca. Tickets will be available online beginning Friday, May 17 at 9:00 a.m.
For the past two years, SANDJAM Halifax hosted the FIVB Beach Volleyball SWATCH Junior World Championships. Over 25,000 fans descended upon the temporary stadium on the Halifax waterfront Salter lot to witness the best under-21 beach volleyball athletes from all over the world battle for Gold.
SANDJAM Halifax 2013 is produced by Sports & Entertainment Atlantic in partnership with Nova Scotia Department of Tourism, Culture & Heritage, Halifax Regional Municipality, Waterfront Development, Volleyball Canada, Volleyball Nova Scotia, Tennis Canada and Tennis Nova Scotia.

Washington, D.C.
From Thomas Jefferson Encyclopedia
Sites Associated with Thomas Jefferson
- Gadsby's Tavern, 134 North Royal Street, Alexandria. Jefferson stayed here on the occasion of a celebration in his honor in March 1801.[1] This site is now a museum.[2]
- The Octagon, residence of John Tayloe, 1741 New York Avenue NW. Tayloe was not a particular friend of Jefferson's, but they did know each other.[3] The Octagon is now the headquarters of the American Architectural Foundation.[4]
- Christ Episcopal Church, 620 G Street, SE. In 1807, the vestry reserved Pew No. 42 for President Jefferson, who responded with thanks, but noted that it would have been "extremely pleasing to have continued a member of their congregation and to have availed myself of their kind offer, had the distance of the new building permitted it." "This single circumstance obliging me to decline it,I1 he added, "I take the liberty of mentioning it to you, that the pew may not remain unoccupied."[5] The church still stands today and has an active congregation.[6]
- Main (Latrobe) Gate, Navy Yard, 8th and M Streets, SE. Jefferson certainly had frequent business with the Navy Yard as President, and it seems probable he would have been in this building at some time. Designed by Benjamin Latrobe and erected in 1806, this site was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973.[7]
- Kalorama, residence of Joel Barlow, once near the intersection of Massachusetts and Florida Avenues. Jefferson urged Barlow to buy this property in 1802, although Barlow did not do so until 1807. Jefferson is said to have visited Barlow to advise on his landscaping and orchards.[8] Kalorama was leveled by the city to extend S Street NW in 1889.[9]
- Sydney, residence of Samuel Harrison and Margaret Bayard Smith, good friends and colleagues of Jefferson. This was their country residence. It is now subsumed in St. Thomas' Hall at Catholic University. It is very probable that Jefferson was there at some point.[10]
- Theodore Roosevelt (Analostan) Island. Jefferson visited Analostan Island several times,[11] both to visit its owner, John Mason, and to enjoy the farm and gardens.[12] The site is now administered by the National Park Service as part of the George Washington Parkway.[13]
- Uriah Forrest House, 3350 M Street, NW. Jefferson had dinner at this house in 1790, on his way to see the Little Falls of the Potomac River.[14]
- Notley Young House, on G Street between 9th and 10th, SW. Jefferson was here in 1790;[15] the house was demolished in 1856.
- Quality Hill (Prospect and 35th Streets, NW). No idea
whether TJ was ever there, but he did know John Thomson Mason, its owner until 1807. First Baptist Church, 19 and I, NW. TJ probably was never in it, but he did contribute $50 toward it. Washington Theater, 11th and C, NW. Burned in 1821. TJ attended plays here. Suterrs Tavern, Wisconsin Street between M and Water, now gone. TJ often stayed here going to and from Philadelphia. Fountain Tavern, Royal Street, Alexandria. TJ often stayed here. David Shoemaker's house on F Street. Site of TJ's sitting for portrait by Saint-Memin. Long's Hotel, site of inaugural ball given for James Madison. TJ was there. Where was hotel? Pontius Stellets hotels at various Washington locations. TJ was probably in most of them at one time or another, although no specific references have been found. Stellers hotels in TJts presidency were on A Street, then Carroll Row on 1st Street.

Customer Reviews
Comments: Great baits. Wacky rig. Some days they won't leave it alone. Lots of fish and size too! Very soft. If you find the bite, you can burn through a bag quickly.
From: Ben: Kansas City, MO 5/16/14
Comments: THESE ARE GREAT WORMS ON A DROP SHOT RIG AND ALSO A FLIC SHAKE RIG. HAVE ALOT OF ACTION TO THEM WHEN WORKED ON THESE RIGS.
From: Adam: ROEBUCK, SC, USA
Comments: If you like wacky jighead fishing you will like this bait. It has a lot more action and big fish drawing power than a flick shake style worm. Make sure you bring the hook all the way through the bait from one side to the other for the best action.

Kai Humphries: Evolution
Show type: Edinburgh Fringe 2010
At the grand age of 26, Kai has decided to take stock of his life so far and see what the implications are for his future and that of everyone else around him if he starts to act a bit more grown up instead of just winging his way through life.
Recently he has discovered the relationship minefield that is predictive text and the importance of having a lock on the toilet door when your new girlfriend has moved in. Add to that the time he tried to smuggle an erection through customs and all-in-all we think you'll agree that it's been an interesting evolution so far.

Old Ham - 21/08/2010
I haven't seen this show but i have seen Kai quite a few times over the last couple of years and been very impressed with how quickly he's come on as an act. Whether he's MCing or doing a set he often surpasses acts with a lot more experience. Maybe he's pushed himself a little too far with an Edinburgh show so soon in his career but please don't let this review put you off an act who will be a welcome mainstay on the circuit for years to come.
