By JOSH STIPANOVICH
A $26,500 fence surrounds 3.25 acres just off Southern Boulevard, adjacent to an entrance to Boardman Park.
A sign that reads "Coming soon, Marge Hartman's Paws Town at Boardman Park" is just north of the land.
Officials are optimistic a grand opening could happen in late August at Paws Town, a dog park in the works since 2009.
Jason Loree, township administrator and co-founder of the dog park, said weather has played a key role in delays.
"Every time we go out, and we try to do some work, it's rained on us," Loree said. "This has been the curse of the dog park."
Water lines — for fountains and a dog wash — have been installed, but Loree said one day of fair weather is needed to install and hook the fountains and dog wash to the existing lines.
The final step would be installing an electronic gate system, but Loree said that phase wouldn't delay the park's opening.
In the meantime, if the gate system is not prepared, identification cards would be given to people registered for the dog park.
"It's all for liability purposes," Loree said. "Once that happens, the only thing we're waiting on is the landscaping."
About 15 community volunteers have been working over the years to make it a reality, and that's another issue, Loree said.
"They all have full-time jobs," he said. Of "that group, only so many can do so many things within a certain day."
Dan Slagle Jr., Boardman Park executive director, said it's important to realize that this project — like every project that has been completed in the park — is funded through donations and grants.
"We just don't have the money to go out and build these projects. We have to wait patiently," Slagle said.
Construction for the site was completed in July 2011, and Austintown Fence installed a black, vinyl coated chain-link fence about a month ago.
Slagle said all 10,000 cubic yards of dirt needed to grade the land was donated. Once the dirt arrived, the park board had to work with contractors and their schedules because they also leveled the dirt at no additional cost, he added.
Loree said he and his wife called the initial 2009 meeting to talk about bringing a dog park to the township. After much enthusiasm, a second meeting was scheduled to determine the needed steps and how to fund them.
Nonprofit status was the best solution, Loree said, and "Friends of Paws Town at Boardman Park, Inc." was founded in 2010.
About $40,000 was raised by the community and several local businesses through 2011.
As the idea was publicized, interest for the project increased. Donations continued to pour in, including a $60,000 grant from the Marjorie Hartman Family Foundation. The park was named after Marge Hartman, a local animal lover, in September 2011.
The nonprofit organization raised $9,404 in contributions, grants and gifts in 2010 and $97,983 in 2011, according to its 2011 501(c) form that was filed on Nov. 19, 2012, for a total of $107,387. That money was raised for the construction of the site and was 100 percent donated, Loree said, and is controlled by the park's board and not the township.
"The township has given no dollars," Loree said. "They're not involved at all."
Paula Geidner, project treasurer, said it is on target financially. The current total construction cost is about $78,000.
"We estimate that our remaining funds, $24,625, will be sufficient to pay for the water lines to the fountains, electrical and landscaping," Geidner said in an email.
Once the project is finished, a $100 annual membership for nonresidents and $50 for residents will be charged, Loree said. They will each receive a swipe card to operate the gate. That money will go back to Boardman Park to maintain the dog park, he added.
"I want to make sure this gets done right," Loree said. "People are probably wondering, 'where's this dog park at, why isn't it opened yet?,' but it's all based on time, availability and weather."
I applaud the volunteer effort, but I wonder where the money went. Nearly $108,000 in donations and the only expenses appear to be $27,000 for a fence. Is trenching and installation for water and electric and grass seeding really a $80,000 project?
@bornhere - Where is it mentioned that there was a charge? Only thing is registering for liability issues. We are such a sue happy society that, unfortunately, this is necessary. Chill out and appreciate something good.
READ!!! Don't skim "Once the project is finished, a $100 annual membership for nonresidents and $50 for residents will be charged, Loree said. They will each receive a swipe card to operate the gate. That money will go back to Boardman Park to maintain the dog park, he added."
What's next? Daily use fees at Boardman Park. Will the dog park be open during Oktoberfest? I'd like to see the receipts of the money the Park receives from Rotary to use the entire park for the whole weekend.
RMy question is simple. Through the grapevine I have heard I that the "resident" classification is for Boardman residents only. If that is true, it will be an empty space because of rain, mud and snow at an unreasonable cost.
As to liability, it is simple to make every participant sign a liability waiver "play at your own risk"
That alone could cut the ridiculous idea of having a user fee at least in half. I personally believe that like the rest of the country, there should be no fee. As long as I have waited for this, I now understand that Austintown has a very nice park for free!!
It is unacceptable for this park to be on taxpayer land, yet "Pay to play". This community has several thriving dog play areas / daycares. If Mosquito Lake in warren can operate that stunning facility to the public for free, then Boardman should be able to provide a fenced in patch of grass for the same. This project has taken too long, and is now being run like a private business? Seems like a scam to me. I regret every dollar I donated and won't support this facility.
Not trying to be rude here, but how on earth does it cost $100,000 to put a fence around some yard space? Like honestly what on earth costs so much? They keep saying "construction," but constructing of what?
Hi oldone, Austintown does have a dog park, but don't go there unless you like dog crap. I was there 4 weeks ago and had to leave because of so much dog messes. People there just don't clean up after their dogs. I agree about the fee, if there was something special about this park I'd gladly pay, but I haven't seen it yet. In fact, when it rains it's going to be one huge mud hole. No trees, no shade and a long walk from the parking lot to the lrg. dog area. Don't think I'll be going there to often.
Do these other area dog parks require you to produce proof of the dogs shots, etc.? I am glad that Pawstown is making sure that my dog is interacting with healthy dogs. I have no problem with the fee. Jason Loree and the rest of the board has done a lot of work to make this park possible. I'm sure they aren't finished with the landscaping, etc. It will be beautiful when it is completely finished but for now, the park is for the dogs and they really only care about being off leash and playing with other dogs. Our dog is too old to run with the other dogs but she is happy to sniff the perimeter of the park, leash free, sniffing some butts, trying to run with the other pooches and approaching people there to be petted. I will be registering her today for her membership. No one is making anyone belong, so if you don't like it, just go somewhere else. I have been taking my dog to Boardman Park for walks for years and this is an added joy for her. Thank you Pawstown for making the park safe and insist that the dogs are healthy. As for Octoberfest, if the dog park does close for one day, the dogs will survive.

Wayne Rooney Reveals New 'CROO' cut!
This weekend Wayne Rooney went public and confirmed that he had visited a London clinic for hair transplantation treatment. On Twitter he was said to be joking about needing a recommendation of a good hair gel to tame his new hair.
And with Hair Transplantation costing anywhere between £7000.00 and £30,000 this treatment is big business.
But rightly so – as a good hair transplant can completely change the look and take years off the person's appearance – boosting confidence no end.
So how does this work? Hair follicles are of the greatest density at the back of the head – this is why baldness seldom affects this area. Follicles are transplanted from denser areas into the sparser areas at the front and top of the head – and then grow just as regular hairs would.
All this under local anaesthetic with minimal pain, discomfort and downtime? A perfect solution.
Liverpool and Isle of Man based Aesthetic Practitioner Dr Tracey Bell has brought this concept to her clinics by becoming the only provider of DHI (Direct Hair Transplantation)
Dr Bell said this week 'The men of the North West and Isle of Man are stylish and very aware of how their looks are affected by premature baldness. I want to make sure this treatment is available to all, not just those in the public eye – my message to anyone who is considering this treatment is – ditch the hat and get your hair and your confidence back for good with DHI'.

Shirley Temple Black's New Line: 'Call Me Madame'
Now preparing for her latest role as the newly appointed U.S. ambassador to Ghana, Shirley Temple Black, 46, credits the late First Lady with her own interest in diplomacy. Concedes lifelong Republican Shirley: "A lot of Mrs. Roosevelt's work in international affairs has got to me by osmosis. It's been an inspiration to me."
Although she has never been to Ghana, Shirley views her appointment as just another step in a "logical progression of jobs" since she retired from films in 1949 at the age of 21. Married to a wealthy businessman, Charles Black (following a divorce in 1949 from her first husband, actor John Agar) she has raised a family of three in the well-to-do San Francisco peninsula town of Woodside. Long a stellar name at Republican affairs, she campaigned for the GOP nomination for Congress against Pete McCloskey in 1967—and lost. One reason, she believes, is that she was cast as a bedrock conservative. "Really, I'm a fiscal conservative," she explains, "but I'm liberal to moderate on domestic issues and very liberal internationally."
She has put her internationalism to work, serving a one-year term as a member of the U.S. delegation to the UN. As a child star, she was known as "one-take Temple," and she has not lost her ability to cram. Instead of the usual workload of four committee assignments at the UN, she took on 13. "I'm a fast learner," she says, "and interested in a lot of things." An ardent environmentalist, she also represented the U.S. at the Stockholm conference on human environment in 1972 and until early this year served on the President's Council on Environmental Quality.
Once mother is confirmed by the Senate, all the Blacks—including daughters Susan, 26, and Lori, 20, and son Charles Jr., 22, plan to move to the embassy in Accra. Although Shirley underwent a much-publicized mastectomy 18 months ago, she insists that the assignment poses no special strain on her health. "My health was great before my operation for breast cancer, and it's been great ever since," she declares. "It's just that in between I lost an old friend."
Her career in public service has left her with an attitude toward those long-gone Hollywood days that approaches indifference. She has prints of her movies but keeps them in the toolshed. Nor does she feel haunted by her child-star image. "Oh, I loved my life as a child. I wouldn't change any part of it," she contends. "But this I find much harder work. There's no ending to the stories. It's not like having a script where it all works out neatly."

My little 17mo old DD has just been diagnosed with autism and I am devastated. I've known there was something "off" about her since she was about 2-3 months old and has been in Early Intervention therapies (PT, OT, Developmental, and Speech) since about 9 months old. I just kept thinking that she was going to catch up or snap out of it or something and I guess she won't.
I don't understand how this "autism" label helps her. Her therapists say that she is now eligible for more "services" from the state but I don't care about that. I just want her to get better.
She doesn't talk at all, doesn't even point or wave, throws tantrums all the time, not affectionate, hates eye contact, and has super-duper sensory processing issues. Despite all of this, I never considered that she might be autistic. I just thought....I don't know what I thought but I didn't think this.
I didn't even know kids this young could be autistic. I'm just frustrated and feel like no one gets it. If there's anyone else out there going through this, I'd love to hear from you. Thanks for reading this and take care of those gorgeous LOs.

A capital campaign that already has raised more than $30 million for Campbellsville University opens its public phase this week during a gathering in Elizabethtown.
The Campaign for the Commonwealth kicks off with an event for Hardin and LaRue county CU alumni and friends at 6 p.m. Thursday at the Stone Hearth on North Mulberry Street. It is the first of 10 such events scheduled from Lexington and Florence to Owensboro and Paducah.
Preschool and kindergarten in Hardin County Schools were held up Monday as a model for other districts at a round-table discussion.
The early childhood education program at Hardin County Schools, specifically at North Park Elementary School, was highlighted as part of a Kentucky Leads the Nation initiative sponsored by the Ohio Valley Educational Cooperative. Educators from around the state visited the school to learn how the program at HCS is organized.
Students from around the area gathered Friday at Elizabethtown Community and Technical College to prove their expertise in a variety of technical fields.
ECTC hosted the regional SkillsUSA competition at which ECTC and area high school students competed in fields such as carpentry, firefighting and cake decorating. Almost 200 students participated.
ECTC has hosted the competition for years, and generally has success every year, said Arthur Hendricks, event coordinator.
Tiffany Davis is used to facing a room full of people hanging on her every word, but Wednesday's event was a little different.
"I feel like I'm a pretty good speaker," she said, "when the age is 11 and under."
Fort Knox Community Schools is losing four schools on post, the Department of Defense Education Activity announced Tuesday afternoon.
Kingsolver, Mudge and Pierce elementary schools and Walker Intermediate School are closing at the end of this school year, according to a news release from the department. The schools are closing because of a decrease in student enrollment related to the inactivation of the 3rd Combat Brigade, 1st Infantry Division. The schools are expected to lose about 700 students.
March commonly is known for its "madness" in Kentucky, but state officials are focusing on something that's not related to basketball.
Coleman Clark has completed his last science fair at St. James Catholic Regional School, but like any good lesson, learning the results of his experiment only piqued his interest.
"You want to learn more and more," Coleman said.
St. James hosted its annual science fair Thursday. Seventh- and eighth-graders competed to see which experiments would come out on top. Coleman was one of the victors of the day.
Much appreciation and gratitude were expressed for the work of Lori Allen and Emily Wilcoxson on Thursday, but none of it was said better than by the students in the teachers' classrooms.
In a video, students shared Allen was "fun and funny," "the best teacher ever," and Wilcoxson's students find her "awesome and cute."
Higher-than-expected construction costs caused the Hardin County Schools board to make adjustments to its replacement building plan for G.C. Burkhead Elementary School and seek new proposals.
The board voted Tuesday to re-bid construction of the project after reviewing the first bid submissions. The board also voted to revise the project's construction documents by trimming multiple items.
Students still searching for that perfect prom dress can find ideas at this weekend's prom fashion show. John Hardin High School students will host a prom fashion show and dinner Saturday at the high school.
The dinner begins at 6 p.m., followed by the fashion show, featuring formal wear for men and women, at 7 p.m. Geno's Formal Affair and Bridal Warehouse supply gowns and tuxedos to be modeled by John Hardin students, and multiple salons provide hair and make-up services for the students.

Hardwired is a 1986 cyberpunk science fiction novel by Walter Jon Williams.
Plot introduction[edit]
The Orbital Corporations now control the world. In the ruins of an America ravaged by the Rock War, ex-fighter pilot Cowboy, who can be "hardwired" via skull sockets directly to his ride, has become a panzerboy, a hi-tech smuggler riding armored hovertanks through the balkanized countryside.
He teams up with Sarah, another tough-as-nails gun-for-hire, to make a last stab at independence from the rapacious Orbitals. They gather an unlikely gang of misfits for a ride that will take them to the edge of the atmosphere.
HardWired is part of a series which includes:
- Hardwired (1986)
- Solip:System (1989)
- Voice of the Whirlwind (1987)
In other media[edit]
R. Talsorian Games, with Williams' assistance, published a sourcebook for Hardwired for their Cyberpunk role-playing game, which further expanded many of the concepts and the world setting of the novel.[citation needed] Williams had a previous relationship with creator Mike Pondsmith and R. Talsorian Games, playtesting the original Cyberpunk game system.

The BlackBerry Pearl smartphone isn't new, but the flip, or clamshell, design of the BlackBerry Pearl 8220 Flip certainly represents a big change for the leading business smartphone maker, RIM.
Make no mistake: the design of the BlackBerry Pearl 8220 Flip is significant news for RIM. The first iteration of the BlackBerry Pearl, the 8100, featured candy-bar styling - like the vast majority of RIM's devices before and since. Roughly a year later, RIM announced a CDMA version of the device for US customers, the Pearl 8130, with a slightly different design-most notably, a repositioned camera lens and an external memory card slot. Since then, various carriers have released the device in custom colours, but everything else about the Pearl has largely remained the same.
That all changes in a big way with the BlackBerry Pearl 8220 Flip. The quad-band EDGE/GPRS/GSM (850/900/1800/1900MHz) device with Wi-Fi (802.11 b/g) was initially unveiled in September at the CTIA Wireless IT and Entertainment event in San Francisco.
RIM decided to stick with the Pearl name for its newest smartphone, as well as a similar-yet-larger SureType keyboard. But that's where the similarities end. The BlackBerry Pearl 8220 Flip's new flip design features two high-resolution LCDs, one on the inside of the device when opened and another external display for when it's closed, which lets you receive notifications, see caller/sender ID information, as well as scroll through and preview new messages.
The BlackBerry Pearl 8220 Flip runs on RIM's latest handheld operating system, BlackBerry OS v4.6, which offers a wide variety of great new features, including the ability to receive HTML email with images, create custom icon-screen folders for better organisation, and even put the device into Safe Mode, which can help to identify and eliminate problem applications. And this phone has double the amount of flash memory of previous Pearls with 128MB, though the processor speed remains the same at 312MHz.

The BlackBerry Pearl smartphone isn't new, but the flip, or clamshell, design of the BlackBerry Pearl 8220 Flip certainly represents a big change for the leading business smartphone maker, RIM.
What we liked
The BlackBerry Pearl 8220 is a great looking device; there's no two ways about it. When closed, the sleek smartphone is only 99mm long, 48mm wide and 18mm thick - easily small enough to fit comfortably in a shirt or trouser pocket. Its external display is 128 x 160 pixels. When opened, the flip Pearl is roughly 180mm long and a bit thinner. It weighs just 100g.
The BlackBerry Pearl 8220 also features a larger internal screen than previous Pearls; at 240 x 320 pixels, the Pearl 8220 display is exactly the same size as the screen on the BlackBerry Curve 83xx, but it's rotated 90 degrees. When closed, the Pearl 8220 is shorter than its predecessor Pearls, but it's also slightly thicker. Still, somehow it seems sleeker.
The device, designed to sit steadily in the palm of your hand when opened and comfortably cradle your face when in use, delivers on both accounts. The BlackBerry Pearl 8220's volume and mute buttons are located high up on the right and left sides of the device, respectively, and they're easy to access while the phone's in use via thumb and middle finger. We found the volume levels to be average compared with existing BlackBerry devices, and call quality over both EDGE and Wi-Fi is good, but not great.
The new BlackBerry Pearl 8220 also has an LED coverage/message indicator like all its elder BlackBerry brethren; however the device's clever design has a circular LED positioned externally alongside two similar-sized circles that are the camera lens and flash. All three sit just horizontally above the outer display when the device is closed.
One of the BlackBerry Pearl 8220's coolest and most innovative features: it lets you display and preview new messages and status information on the external screen when it's closed. This does away with the need to constantly open the phone to check for messages. It also reduces unnecessary wear-and-tear on the flip hinge.
The up/down volume buttons scroll through new messages when the Pearl is closed. And the programmable "convenience keys" on each side of the device work to light the external display when it fades so you can check the time or device status without ever having to open the Pearl. (Both buttons can be customised by the user to launch various applications when the device is open.)

The BlackBerry Pearl smartphone isn't new, but the flip, or clamshell, design of the BlackBerry Pearl 8220 Flip certainly represents a big change for the leading business smartphone maker, RIM.
Perhaps the most notable difference between the Pearl 8220 and the 81xx series-besides the flip form factor-is its OS: BlackBerry handheld OS v188.8.131.52. (Previous Pearls ran on various versions of BlackBerry OS v4.2 and 4.3.)
We could write an entire review based on the new features available in BlackBerry OS v4.6, but here we'll focus only on the highlights. First of all, you can now receive HTML email, which means no more messy code scattered throughout messages. It also means that images within mail can be displayed, although you must choose to manually download pictures for each message. (HTML email is available in BlackBerry OS V4.5.)
BlackBerry OS v4.6 also lets you create new folders on your home icon screens for enhanced organisation. For example, you can now choose to create separate folders for different kinds of applications, ie, one for games, one for search and navigation apps, and another for social networking programs. This helps to reduce clutter on the icon screen and makes applications easier to locate.
Previous versions of the BlackBerry OS provided one central folder into which all messages - email, SMS and MMS - were delivered, making it difficult to fish through piles of mail to find one specific text or multimedia message. BlackBerry OS 4.6 offers a separate SMS/MMS-dedicated mailbox.
The BlackBerry OS for the Pearl 8220 has a cool new feature called Safe Mode, as well, which can be activated by holding the device's Escape key while it's rebooting. Safe Mode is meant to help identify and remove problem applications that may be negatively affecting the health of the device.
DataViz's Documents to Go ships with the RIM BlackBerry Pearl 8220 Flip so users can download and edit Word, Excel and PowerPoint files - there are also tricks to make the free standard edition of Docs to Go create new documents. And an entirely new set of games comes along with the Pearl 8220, including Word Mole, Texas Hold'Em King 2, Sudoku, Klondike and Trooper Typing.
Much improved clock/alarm features let you customise the external time display-digital, analogue or flip-clock-style. With detailed alarm settings, you can disable the blinking LED coverage/message indicator during the evening and much more.
Instant messaging applications including BlackBerry Messenger, Windows Live Messenger, Yahoo! Messenger, Google Talk, ICQ and AIM, all come preinstalled. A better - though still lacking - media player lets you manage music and playlists on the handset and not through a desktop-based application. The device features an external microSD memory slot that can accommodate media cards up to 16GB, and it ships with the new BlackBerry Media Sync software, which means you can sync non-DRM-protected iTunes tracks with the BlackBerry.
And the RIM BlackBerry Pearl 8220 Flip even has a lanyard hook for all you fans of silly smartphones accessories. That's a lot to like. But on the flip side...

The BlackBerry Pearl smartphone isn't new, but the flip, or clamshell, design of the BlackBerry Pearl 8220 Flip certainly represents a big change for the leading business smartphone maker, RIM.
BlackBerry Pearl 8220 Flip cons
Immediately after we picked up the BlackBerry Pearl 8220 for the first time at CTIA, we couldn't help but notice how light and delicate it felt. Lightweight is a good thing. Flimsy? Not so much. Unfortunately, the BlackBerry Pearl Flip falls into both of these categories. RIM's first clamshell phone is gorgeous, but may not be built to last.
After just a few days with the BlackBerry Pearl 8220 Flip, its external display is noticeably scratched from hitching rides in pockets along with keys, coins and various other bits of debris. The scratches aren't so significant as to be noticed while the outer display is illuminated, but if you hold up the device to the light, they're clear as day and won't just wipe away.
A case or holster would've at least reduced the damage, but the BlackBerry Pearl 8220 Flip ships naked. This is uncommon, as most RIM devices, including previous versions of the Pearl, shipped with some form of leather carrying case from RIM.
The rear battery door is also loose, the colour slightly wearing off around the edge, after only a couple of days of use. Unlike previous Pearls and other RIM smartphones, the new BlackBerry Pearl 8220 Flip has a small metal latch at the base of the battery door that can be pulled down to release the cover. The latch itself makes it easy to access the battery, but it doesn't stop the battery door from sliding side to side slightly.
Granted, we removed and replaced the battery upwards of 20 times during the review period, so users who rarely tinker with their batteries may not experience the same issue. Still, most BlackBerry users know that hard resets are often necessary, and that means pulling the battery.
Speaking of batteries, the BlackBerry Pearl 8220 Flip had roughly seven hours of talk time in our tests. That's not bad, but considering the fact that the original Pearl 8100 had about eight and half hours of talk time, and both devices access 2.5G EDGE networks, the Pearl 8220's battery life does not particularly impress.
On the subject of wireless network speed, remember that the BlackBerry Flip isn't a 3G device.
Another down side: the BlackBerry Pearl 8220 Flip doesn't have GPS. Whether or not satellite positioning functionality is a necessity largely depends on the individual user, but we suspect the lack of GPS will turn some folks away from the Pearl 8220.
The BlackBerry Pearl 8220 Flip's two LCD displays also don't look as vibrant or sharp as some of the screens found on its BlackBerry counterparts, including the high-end Bold 9000, or even the Curve 83xx and Pearl 81xx series. The external display looks particularly pixilated.
Although the keyboard on the BlackBerry Pearl 8220 Flip is much improved over the earlier Pearl keyboards due to its significantly larger size - each button is literally twice as big as the earlier buttons - it's still not a full qwerty keyboard.
That means there are multiple characters on each key. Despite the use of RIM's SureType technology, which makes typing on such a keyboard simpler and more efficient, we've never been able to type as fast or without as many errors on a Pearl keyboard as we can with a full qwerty. That hasn't changed with the BlackBerry Pearl 8220 Flip.
The new guitar-fret-inspired plastic spacers between rows of keys do help to guide users' fingers, and the slightly indented numeral keys make it easy to dial phone numbers without paying much attention to the buttons, but power users will want to stick with a full qwerty device.
Another complaint: the browser still needs work. Experienced BlackBerry users have long complained about the default BlackBerry browser, and though the browser that ships along with BlackBerry handheld OS 4.6 is much improved over previous versions-zooming in and out is easier and more intuitive, for example-the application's still not up to snuff when compared to other mobile browsers on the market; in particular, the iPhone's Safari browser.
Our final gripe relates to the new micro USB port that's used for charging and syncing data on the BlackBerry Pearl 8220 Flip. All of the additional 8000 series BlackBerrys have slightly larger mini USB ports. When we asked a RIM representative at CTIA why the company switched from mini to micro USB for the Pearl 8220 - and the as-of-yet unannounced Curve 8900 - he replied, "For form factor". In other words, so it could make the device thinner.
That's all fine and good, expect for the fact that the BlackBerry Pearl 8220 Flip isn't too thin for a mini USB port; we've held it up to a number of other devices with mini USB to check. We understand that the "guts" inside the BlackBerry Pearl 8220 Flip might make it simpler to use a smaller USB port, but we have a number of spare mini USB sync cables and chargers from our various devices, and we don't have a single mini USB accessory. That means we'd have to go out and buy an extra charger or sync cable for the BlackBerry Pearl 8220 Flip, even though we've got plenty of mini USB cables lying around. We suppose we could just pick up an adaptor, but still...

The BlackBerry Pearl 8220 Flip is a truly sexy smartphone. Its modern, minimalist design is sure to draw stares - from men and women alike. But it also feels light and flimsy and the shiny black external display panel, the real focal point of its design, scratches easily. The Pearl Flip also features a larger version of the SureType keyboard found on existing BlackBerry Pearl devices, and while the keyboard is admittedly better than those on older Pearls, it's still not as efficient as many of the full qwerty keyboards found on RIM devices such as the Curve 83xx and Bold 9000. Many tried and true shortcuts for BlackBerrys with full qwertys also don't work on the Pearl. And the lack of a full keyboard and questionable durability mean the Pearl 8220's not an ideal smartphone for demanding businesspeople or power users. But that's okay, because RIM has clearly shifted its enterprise-specific focus toward consumers over the past couple of years, and the BlackBerry Pearl 8220 Flip is the company's latest attempt to woo the non-business-oriented masses. And it's a valiant effort. So, while the most demanding businesspeople and advanced users won't likely want to rush to the shop to pick up RIM's latest gadget, you can bet lots of feature-phone-users looking to make the transition to a smartphone will. The flashy device might even steal away some would-be iPhone buyers.

The New Directions Oasis for Veteran Women
According to the Los Angeles Homeless Service Authority 2013 Greater Los Angeles Homeless Count, more than 350 female veterans are living on the streets of Los Angeles County. (The count covers more than 4,000 square miles, including all of Los Angeles County, except the cities of Glendale, Pasadena and Long Beach.)
The New Directions Oasis for Veteran Women is a long-term transitional program for female veterans dealing with issues of homelessness, trauma and addiction. Based in two residential homes in the Mar Vista area on the Westside of Los Angeles, the program helps female veterans who have served in any branch of the armed forces. The houses are divided according to phases of treatment.
Mitchell House is an emergency shelter, where residents may stay up to 90 days before transitioning to our second phase house. In this first phase of treatment, women attend parenting and anger management classes, addiction and therapy groups and computer classes. Residents are able to further their education and resolve legal and/or financial issues. The second phase residence, Keaveney House, is designed for veterans who are employed and/or going to school.
New Directions Oasis for Veteran Women was the first program in the United States designed specifically for female veterans dealing with issues of homelessness, drug and alcohol addiction, post-traumatic stress syndrome and other mental health issues.
All clients at the Oasis for Veteran Women houses have an on-site therapist. The two houses offer female veterans a safe place to turn their lives around and make constructive contributions to the community. The program integrates the Seeking Safety model, a trauma treatment initiative that was designed especially for women recovering from trauma and substance abuse. The program also has a long history of assisting clients in regaining custody of their children. Among other services, veterans who enter the New Directions Oasis for Veteran Women are able to receive:

Looking for a hat pattern where the ribbing folds
I live in Texas and a co worker/ friend of mine doesn't have any heat in her car and I would like to make her a hat to keep her warm as she travels to and from work. I am a beginner knitter so patterns are going to have to be easy.
I am looking for a pattern where the ribbing folds up like it does when you make a hat with loom knitting. If the pattern comes as a set that would be even better but I really need a hat pattern because it is actually starting to get cold here.
My goal is for her to be able to keep her head and ears warm as she drives this winter. She is an older woman that looks after me and my family and this is my way of looking after her.She is 62 and I am 34 and I want to let her know that even though she has grown kids she was always have me.
Thanks in advance for helping me accomplish my goal by putting a smile on her face this winter!
Any hat can be made to fold up..you just make it longer before you start any decreases. That said...do you want a hat that is knit flat and seamed or seamless and knit in the round?
Here's a couple very easy ones that are knit flat.
I prefer knitting in the round.Better chance of project getting completed.
Oh good..more choices for those. These are pretty easy, but a few have a little more detail.
This one has cables on the brim, but you could also just make it ribbed if you like the pattern.
thanks for the links! I will check them out
I made several of these for Christmas gifts.
Here is a link to my post with pictures:
A link for the free pattern is here:

Hi folks!
I have just upgraded to WordPress 2.7, and have noticed that the image rotator in NextGen Gallery no longer seems to work: instead of images appearing in an overlay, they now open in the browser window that WordPress was in, meaning after clicking on a link, you are forced to browse back to the blog.
I know NextGen is compatible with WordPress 2.7 as I ran a test site for a couple of days to make sure I there were no problems. This is one issue that I never came across while running the test site.
I have re-downloaded the WordPress files, and tried re-installing NextGen, but to no avail.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers in advance,

I've already done some searching on the topic, and didn't see someone with this particular issue (at least written in a way I could understand). Thanks in advance!

Visiting Male took advantage of five errors and a balk by SCHS on Monday and spoiled the Rockets' season-opener, 6-2.
However, SCHS Coach Bart Roettger didn't force the Rockets to run after the defeat. Instead, he noted several positives despite the outcome.
Mother Nature and her spring cold snap whipped Shelby County on Monday and Tuesday, as the Rockets were forced to cancel games.
But the weather was so nice on Saturday the Rockets got to play two.
Shelby came out hot in the morning, whipping Bishop Brossart (4-3), 10-3, but a long afternoon layoff wore the Rockets down, allowing Scott High (3-3) to battle back and win the nightcap, 7-6.
Tyler Whitehouse said he wasn't sure what he was going to do about college, but he knew he wanted to play soccer.
"I was kind of up in the air about it until [SCHS Coach] B.J. [Andriot] told me he knew the coach at Georgetown [College]," Whitehouse said. "He made a couple of calls, and once I went up there, I loved it. I knew that's where I wanted to go."
Whitehouse made a couple of trips to the Georgetown campus, and once an offer was made, he was ready to sign.
One big hit changed the Lady Rockets' game at Anderson County on Thursday.
Anderson County's Courtney Turpin ripped a shot over the left-field fence with the bases loaded to give Anderson a 4-0 lead in the second inning and that proved to be enough to beat the Lady Rockets, 6-1.
The Lady Rockets (4-1) got one run back in the top of the sixth, when Hannah Abbott ripped Turpin's pitch over the left-field fence for a solo home run.
The SCHS softball team moved to 4-0 with very different victories against Walton-Verona and Garrard County this week.
The girls hammered Walton-Verona, 14-1, in five innings on Wednesday, but on Tuesday they had to work to get by Garrard County, 4-2.
"We executed well two nights in a row," SCHS Coach Kelly Cable said. "We had to manufacture runs [Tuesday], and we hit the ball very well [Wednesday]."
The Lady Rockets pounded out 11 hits, including two triples, in routing Walton-Verona (1-5).
The NFL Draft is on Saturday, and here are one football-phile's opinions about how the day selections will fall in the first round. This is the first half of the selections.
1. Detroit Lions (Record: 0-16): Matthew Stafford, QB, Georgia
The SCHS baseball team pounded out 16 hits, including a home run and five more extra-base hits, in a 20-1 five-inning whipping of Eminence on Tuesday.
Shelby (3-2) scored nine runs in the first inning, highlighted by a three-run homer from John Hunter.
The SCHS football team hit the field Wednesday for its annual spring game.
And though there were four players involved with baseball and 10 others out for injuries and other reasons, SCHS Coach Todd Shipley said he was "a little shocked" with what he saw.
"I was very pleased with how the guys came out and played," he said. "We tried to keep the two teams even, and after I divided them, the A team was very confident, and the B team was a little skeptical. But the B team came out and won, 21-0."
The SCHS track-and-field teams finished up the home portion of their schedule with an all-comers meet Tuesday.
The boys' squad took first place with 111 points, slipping past Lexington Christian by four points.
The Lady Rockets finished fifth with 69.5 points. Bardstown took first with 146.5.
SCHS opened its track season Tuesday with a large home all-comers meet.
The boys posted 16 top-five finishes, good enough to finish second overall in the meet to Trinity.
The Lady Rockets fielded a small team but still managed to score a strong 49 points, enough for sixth out of 11 teams.
The Rockets seemed to have enough high finishes to win the meet, but Trinity's larger squad took the honors.
"Numbers killed us on the boys' side," SCHS Coach George Cottrell said.

I would like to remote desktop to my work computer using hamachi. The hamachi connection works fine and i can use remote desktop but when my session is over hamachi disconects.
I was thinking i could set up another computer (a virtual machine) with windows xp and send request to that machine, the virtual machine redirects the traffic to lan at work and then i can connect to work computer.
Basicly i would like to forward the traffic from the hamachi adapter to LAN Adapter in the virtual machine witch is connected to a bridge adapter to the HOST machine.
Is it possible?

DEER TRAIL, Colo. (July 17, 2013)—Local leaders in Deer Trail, Colo., are considering an ordinance that would create aerial drone hunting licenses and offer bounties to anyone who shoots one down.
While they admit they've never actually seen a drone on the Eastern Plains, they say they want to make a statement that using unmanned surveillance planes to spy on Americans is wrong.
The ordinance is mostly symbolic and officials say they recognize it's against the law to destroy federal property.
The licenses would cost $25 a year and the ordinance calls for offering a $100 reward to anyone who provides identifiable pieces of a downed drone.

I've been testing several TTS plugins and by far this one is the best.
It has more features and options, works straight away, and the streaming voice is free.
I only found one other that actually works, and the developers of that one are dodgy about what it will cost once you are done with their free trial period. You have to email them for a custom quote. That means a pretty high number I'm sure.
I like the way you can highlight a certain part and play just that.

>Brookings Oregon News, Sports, & Weather | The Curry Coastal Pilot
By DAVID COURTLAND
Pilot Staff Writer
The convicted rapist who killed Brookings resident Carole Zimmerman was never her neighbor as earlier reported by officials, Curry County Sheriff Kent Owens said Monday.
"There's a perception out there that Billy Prueitt was living (in Brookings)," said Owens, "and that if notification had been made she would not have been killed."
An oversight by law enforcement officials may have sparked the debate that followed in the wake of Zimmerman's murder, said Owens.
The sheriff, who was also under the impression Prueitt had been living next door to his victim, said he has learned the convicted rapist was actually living in Gold Beach with his mother.
Prueitt was visiting a girlfriend in Brookings at the time he killed Zimmerman, according to Owens and Prueitt's parole officer, Clint Laird.
"Mr. Prueitt had a girlfriend who he would visit and stay with periodically," said Laird.
The probation officer explained that short visits like the ones Prueitt made are not supervised and Prueitt was not required to report when he made such visits.
In fact, Laird said he was unaware of the girlfriend until she contacted Brookings police to ask about the terms of Prueitt's parole during the July 4 weekend.
Less than four weeks later Zimmerman was found dead in her Old County Road apartment, and a manhunt stretching over two states began for Prueitt, who fled in Zimmerman's car.
Prueitt, who had been on parole for two years after serving a 10-year prison sentence for rape, was later found dead in that car in Northern California.
Laird said it is still unclear what triggered Prueitt's actions, and that until just before the murder he had been a model parolee.
"As far as I know he was hitting everything right on the mark," said Laird, who had regular contact with Prueitt by telephone and letter.

No Longer the Media Center of Attention
Gabe Aul, of Microsoft's Windows Insiders program, has confirmed on Twitter that Windows 10 will drop support for Windows Media Center due to a decline in usage. This is not surprising news as Microsoft has been deprecating the Media Center application for a while now. In Windows 8.x, the application required both the "Pro" SKU of the operating system, and then users needed to install an optional add-on above and beyond that. The Media Center Pack cost $10 over the price of Windows 8.x Pro unless you claimed a free license in the promotional period surrounding Windows 8's launch.
While Media Center has been officially abandoned, its influence on the industry (and vice versa) is an interesting story. For a time, it looked like Microsoft had bigger plans that were killed by outside factors and other companies seem to be eying the money that Microsoft left on the table.
There will be some speculation here.
We could go back to the days of WebTV, but we won't. All you need to know is that Microsoft lusted over the living room for years. Windows owned the office and PC gaming was taking off with strong titles (and technologies) from Blizzard, Epic, iD, Valve, and others. DirectX was beloved by developers, which led to the original Xbox. Their console did not get a lot of traction, but they respected it as a first-generation product that was trying to acquire a foothold late in a console generation. Financially, the first Xbox would cost Microsoft almost four billion dollars more than it made.
At the same time, Microsoft was preparing Windows to enter the living room. This was the company's power house and it acquired significant marketshare wherever it went, due to its ease of development and its never-ending supply of OEMs, even if the interface itself was subpar. Their first attempt at bringing Windows to the living room was Windows XP Media Center Edition. This spin-off of Windows XP could only be acquired by OEMs to integrate into home theater PCs (HTPCs). The vision was interesting, using OEM competition to rapidly prototype what users actually want in a PC attached to a TV.
This leads us to Windows Vista, which is where Media Center came together while the OS fell apart.
Read on to see how Halo 2 for Windows Vista was almost the prototype for PC gaming.

Say goodbye to Patch Tuesday
Subject: General Tech | May 5, 2015 - 02:23 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: patch tuesday, microsoft, windows 10
Microsoft is showing off some of the new security features of Windows 10 and one of the announcements heralded the end of Patch Tuesday for everyone but Enterprise customers. For consumers any device running Windows 10 could receive a patch at any time Microsoft approves it and pushes it out, apparently a shot across the bows at Google and their less than regular update schedule for mobile devices. This could lead to some interesting and unexpected behaviour for devices if the patches cause problems on some systems as has happened in the past. The patches can be distributed via peer-to-peer which will help those with limited bandwidth and time constraints, which you can read about at The Register along with information on the new Advanced Threat Analytics.
The Inquirer touches briefly on Windows Update for Business which will replace current patch distribution for the Enterprise and allow far more control on what gets updated, with which patches and when the installations will occur.
"Ignite 2015 - Microsoft has shown off some of the new security mechanisms embedded in Windows 10, and revealed a change to its software updates."
Here is some more Tech News from around the web:
DirectX 12 Has No More Secrets
The DirectX 12 API is finalized and the last of its features are known. Before the BUILD conference, the list consisted of Conservative Rasterization, Rasterizer Ordered Viewed, Typed UAV Load, Volume Tiled Resources, and a new Tiled Resources revision for non-volumetric content. When the GeForce GTX 980 launched, NVIDIA claimed it would be compatible with DirectX 12 features. Enthusiasts were skeptical, because Microsoft did not officially finalize the spec at the time.
Last week, Microsoft announced the last feature of the graphics API: Multiadapter.
We already knew that Multiadapter existed, at least to some extent. It is the part of the specification that allows developers to address multiple graphics adapters to split tasks between them. In DirectX 11 and earlier, secondary GPUs would remain idle unless the graphics driver sprinkled some magic fair dust on it with SLI, CrossFire, or Hybrid CrossFire. The only other way to access this dormant hardware was by spinning up an OpenCL (or similar compute API) context on the side.
Microsoft's Nano Server, the GUI-less server in the clouds
Subject: General Tech | May 4, 2015 - 02:56 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: microsoft, windows server, nano server
Microsoft has really trimmed the fat off of Windows Server to make Nano Server, in fact they may have cut off some of the meat as well. A Microsoft engineer described it as "a model of 'just enough OS'.", which is why the new Server OS base install is a mere 400MB. The GUI is gone, you will use Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) or the new Core PowerShell which will resemble the old Powershell, but again in a cut down manner. Drivers and APIs are minimal which will take programmers some time to adjust to as the DLL that they current use may not exist on Core and the installer you all know and hate, Windows MSI is one of the ones which has been cut. In order to install drivers and applications which currently rely on MSI, you will need to add them to your image. Read more about this major change in the way you will manage your Windows servers over at The Register.
"Engineers from Microsoft's Windows Server team took the stage at the Build developer conference in San Francisco this week to share more details on Nano Server, the upcoming micro-sized version of the OS aimed at cloud deployments."

BUILD 2015: Windows 10 10074 Released to Fast and Slow
Subject: General Tech | April 30, 2015 - 06:38 PM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: windows 10, microsoft, build 2015, build 10074, BUILD
When Microsoft forked their build numbers into 100xx and 101xx lines, we predicted that they were preparing a version to release at BUILD 2015. We also predicted that it would be heavily tested and pushed to both Slow and Fast simultaneously, which would give a good entry point for developers and probably even enterprise evaluators. I was surprised when Microsoft released 10061 last week, and then updated it just two days ago (why???) with four patches, but we ended up being correct in the end.
Microsoft has just released Windows 10 build 10074 to both Fast and Slow users. Its comes with a very small list of known issues, and they are much less severe than they were in previous releases. The first issue tells developers that Developer Mode needs to be enabled in Group Policy, rather than the place in Settings that it will eventually be. The next two issues are more severe: some games cannot be played in full screen and the People app is still broken. I am not sure how wide-spread "some games" is, but they plan to patch it via Windows Update "as soon as possible".
One major fix is that now, when certain applications that play audio are minimized, they will continue to play audio. This bug made many media players, such as a few SoundCloud apps in the Windows Store as well as Microsoft's own Music app, pretty much useless. Until 10074, you would basically need to launch them, then cover them up with other windows if you wanted more screen real-estate.
If you were a fan of Aero from Windows 7, then you will like the blurred transparency effect of Start and the taskbar. Personally, while I think it looks nice, I was never really attached to that aspect of the Windows UI. Honestly, it used to drive me nuts when it kicked me out of games to complain about how it cannot properly manage 2GB of video memory, despite running perfectly fine if I select ignore. Hopefully that will not come back with it. But, if it is here without causing any problems, it does look pretty. Also, the Start Menu can now be manually resized to better arrange your apps. It also looks like the semi-horizontal layout is a great compromise between the Start Menu and the Start Screen for desktops.
So, as we expected, this build is what happens when Microsoft picks a target and mostly cleans up all of their relevant branches into a solid release. It is still a bit buggy here and there, but it feels better than 10049, which was itself better than 10041. That said, I also upgraded my NVIDIA drivers from 349.90 to 352.63; that could have something to do with it (although I am using the same Intel drivers).
There has not been too many announcements regarding features that are not present in 10074 though. It makes you wonder, at least a bit, how much will be added to the 101xx path until the OS finally launches.
Windows 10 "Getting Started" Video Updated for Build 10061
Subject: General Tech | April 28, 2015 - 07:27 PM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: microsoft, windows 10, BUILD, build 2015
BUILD 2015 begins tomorrow, and I expect we'll learn the last features that Microsoft intends to add to Windows 10 at launch. The conference is targeted at software and web developers first and foremost. We might not see too much on the consumer side, but we should get under-the-hood information that will be relevant to consumers. For instances, some questions about Windows Store, WinRT, and DirectX 12 might be answered. We might even get a public DirectX 12 SDK (and more).
Note: WinRT (API) is not the same as Windows RT (OS).
As we noted earlier, development was forked into a 100xx-branch and a 101xx-branch of build numbers. We assume that, due to the proximity to the conference, the lower build number is getting polished for public presentation while the higher builds will surface later, with more experimental features.
Microsoft published an introduction video, based on the 10061 build, to introduce the new OS to new users. I guess they are expecting a new wave of testers after the conference, probably both developers and enterprise evaluators. It is brief but interesting, although it surprisingly did not mention anything about the "Continuum" interface to switch between mouse/keyboard and touch experiences.
As stated, BUILD 2015 starts tomorrow and we will probably have a bit of coverage for it.
Window 10 Technical Previews Will Expire (As Expected)
Subject: General Tech | April 26, 2015 - 07:31 AM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: windows 10, windows, microsoft
There are still a few users on old Windows 10 Technical Preview builds from 2014. In a few days, there won't be: their computers will refuse to boot. The affected builds that will completely brick themselves on April 30th are 9841, 9860, and 9879. You cannot accuse Microsoft of surprising users though, because Windows has been notifying them since April 2nd and force-rebooting every three hours since April 15th if they didn't take the warnings seriously. The current batch of builds are valid until October.
WinBeta has linked this policy to Microsoft's rumored piracy policy. My thoughts? No.
This is actually typical of Microsoft when it comes to pre-release operating systems. In fact, the only difference between this and Vista's pre-release (ex: "Beta 2") expiration is that Microsoft relaxed the reboot time to three hours. It was two hours back in the Vista era but otherwise identical. That policy only applied to the previews then, and I see no reason to believe that it will be extended to released operating systems now.
Granted, with the Windows 10 continuous update structure, it does raise concern about what will happen if/when Microsoft releases a build that users don't want. For instance, imagine Microsoft decides to cut off legacy support for Win32 -- will customers have the ability to opt-out of the upgrade treadmill and continue to use applications that are then unsupported, like practically every Steam game they own?
But I see no reason to think that this policy has anything to do with that.
MSE the next generation; Windows 10 Device Guard
Subject: General Tech | April 24, 2015 - 01:55 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: windows 10, Device Guard, security, microsoft, IOMMU
The Register gleaned some details about Windows 10 Device Guard at RSA but there is still a lot we do not know about it. It is an optional service that can be enabled by an administrator and it checks every application launched to see if it has been signed by Microsoft as a trusted binary before letting it run. While certainly good for security it may cause some issues for developers who have not gone through the vetting process to have your app approved for the Microsoft Store. Device Guard is also separated from the WinX kernel, if your machine does become infected, Device Guard will still not allow unsigned apps to run. You will need hardware which supports input/output memory management unit (IOMMU) to use Device Guard, thankfully that technology is present on most current PC hardware, though not so prevalent on the mobile front.
"The details are a little vague – more information will emerge at the Build event next week – but from what we can tell, Device Guard wraps an extra layer of defense around the operating system to prevent malware from permanently compromising a PC."

AMD's Lisa Su Expects Windows 10 to Launch in July
Subject: General Tech | April 21, 2015 - 07:00 AM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: windows 10, windows, microsoft, amd
The CEO of AMD is an unexpected, but probably very accurate, source when it comes to knowing the Windows 10 release date. First off, the news broke on a quarterly earnings call. When you make a statement on those, you have a strong legal obligation to be telling the truth according to the knowledge that you have at the time. Also, as a major hardware vendor of CPUs and GPUs, her company would have been notified by Microsoft so that they could plan development of graphics drivers and so forth. It also aligns with the "Summer" announcement made last month by Microsoft.
She believes that Windows 10 is set to launch in July.
Of course, this led to a flurry of comments that claim three months will not be enough time to bake a successful product. Others, naturally, claim that Microsoft has been developing software for long enough to know that they can finish their product in three months. Still others shrug and say, "Yeah, you both make sense. I'm going to go play some Grand Theft Auto."
One aspect that I don't see mentioned enough is that Microsoft has multiple projects and teams on the go, and we only see a fraction of what is being done in our Insider branch. Despite the narrative that Microsoft wishes to avoid another Windows 8 fiasco and they want their users to guide development, they have alluded that a major reason for the Insider program is to test their build delivery system. While I am having a bit of a hard time finding the supporting quote, I did find one reference to it being the reason for ISOs being delayed.
And finally – we heard from you loud and clear you want ISO images of the new builds we release. We felt it was important to listen to that and give you what you want – but there's a catch. Getting the update & install data from our Preview Builds mechanism is super important for us. It helps us ensure smooth ESD distribution, download, and upgrade success for this program going forward, and also will help us ensure great upgrades for people once we release Windows 10. So we're going to release the ISOs at the same time as we publish to the Slow ring. That means if you want to be FIRST and FASTEST to get the build, you'll need to use our Preview Builds mechanisms (either automatic or Check Now in PC Settings to download.) If you must have an ISO you'll have to be a bit more patient. I hope that you'll consider that a fair tradeoff.
So what is my point? Basically, it is difficult for us to make assumptions about how baked Windows 10 is from our standpoint. They are being more open with us than ever about their development methods, but we don't know certain key things. We don't know what final feature set they plan. We don't know how much work has been done on any individual feature since it was merged into a build that we saw. We also don't know how much has been done by third parties. In some cases, a release in three months could equate to like, six months of work for a specific team since their last contribution was merged. I do think that any major feature we see at BUILD will pretty much be the last additions to the OS before it launches though, unless they have a surprise that will surface at E3 or something.
Also, remember that the things they show us are slanted to what they want feedback about.

LOS ANGELES (July 17, 2013)--Scientists say they have new evidence that all the gold on Earth was forged from ancient collisions of dead stars.
Telescopes recently detected a strange glow in a distant galaxy that researchers say came from the collision of dead stars.
Astronomers have long known that lighter elements such as carbon and oxygen are created within a star, but that process doesn't produce heavier elements such as gold.
Experts thought gold was created in a supernova explosion, but the new research points to a different stellar process involving the collisions of dead or neutron stars that occurred long before the solar system existed.
The new work led by Harvard-affiliated researchers will appear in a future issue of the Astrophysical Journal Letters.

Brightes bulb in the stock headlight
Hope everyone's doing well. I'm looking for personal experience and probably preferences to the different 9007 headlight bulbs on the market. They range anywhere from under $20 bucks a pair to well over $100 for a kit. I'm not looking for a kit. I'd like to know what your experience has been with the higher end bulbs? Are they brighter? How long did they last? When they died, did you replace them with the same or go back to a standard bulb?
I'm looking to replace mine, and will be going "stock" until I can figure out if the "high end" is worth the extra money. I would like a better/ brighter/ more white light without replacing the entire headlight assembly. If you've got any suggestions, I'd like to hear about it. Thanks.
Let us know how you make out and please keep us updated.
