When you visit from the United States, you may get a pop-up suggesting you use the American site, but you can just close it and carry on.
Also, if you're in the United States, be mindful of time zone differences when you plan your search session(s). Findmypast.ie is based in Dublin, which is five hours ahead of the US East Coast.
Update: Now that Irish Family History Day is upon us, I found more information about this offer. Visit findmypast.ie's Irish Family History Day page for a promo code that gets you 50 free credits to use the site's pay-as-you-go records. The code is valid through Jan. 31.
Donors will receive a society pin and be listed on the FGS website. For more information, see the Preserve the Pensions initiative or the Stern-NARA Gift Fund.
But I didn't forget all about genealogy. Monday was our practice day at the sitter with Norah and her big brother, so I used my "me time" to go to the library.
Courtesy of the Kenton County (Kentucky) Public Library's Northern Kentucky Newspaper Index and Northern Kentucky Genealogy Index (you can search both free online, then email yourself a list of results), I have a long list of newspaper and record look-ups about my maternal relatives. It's been on my to-do list for a shameful length of time.
Since I only had a couple of hours at the library, I prepped by organizing my lookups according to the newspaper and date (for articles) or the church and volume number (for church records). That way I'd be able to find all the articles on one roll of film, then move right on to the next. I also highlighted the most important items so I'd be sure to get to those if time ran short.
Even though I knew where the library is, I checked out the visitor info onlinee (good thing— the regular lot was closed due to construction). I couldn't find the details about making copies, so I gathered up change and singles just in case. Turns out I should have brought a flash drive for the microfilm reader that makes digital copies. Live and learn.
The librarian showed me the newspaper and church record microfilm, gave me a refresher on the microfilm readers and changed my dollars for dimes (required to make paper copies). I got all my priority articles and one church record in the two hours. I wrote the newspaper or record title, date, volume number, etc. on each printout.
As a woman on a mission, I only glanced at the rest of the local history collection. Oh, the time I could spend there if I had all day.
Now, I'm reading the newspaper articles and trying to sort out who's who and how (or whether) they're all related in this big family full of Josephs, Bernards and Marys. Every time I read in an obituary that the deceased was survived by "a wife and children" or see a married woman identified as "Mrs. Joseph so-and-so," I want to pull my hair out. Names! I NEED NAMES!
So I've still got some work to do. In the mean time, I'm glad to be back with you!

EVERETT — The assault suspect claimed the victim started it.
That alleged explanation didn't convince Snohomish County Sheriff's Office deputies that his actions were justified.
He's 43 and weighs 220 pounds; she's 2.
Deputies arrested the Marysville area man Wednesday night after he allegedly whapped the toddler with a flyswatter. They were called to a home in the 17000 block of 25th Avenue NE around 9 p.m.
The girl's father heard the impact of the swat from an adjoining room. The sound led him to believe that the suspect hit the child "really hard," which caused her to scream in pain, deputies wrote in a police report.
The girl indicated that she was hit in the leg.
The suspect is a registered sex offender who had been convicted of communicating with a minor for immoral purposes.
Police reports don't spell out the relationship with the girl's parents or whether they knew his history.
The parents told police they wanted the suspect arrested, saying the man had no right to touch their child, let alone strike her with an object.
Deputies said the man initially tried to hide in a bedroom he was renting and then barricaded the door. Officers could hear movement inside the room and eventually convinced him to give up.
They found a flyswatter on his bed.
The suspect stands 6 foot 3. He also is a suspect in two assault 2012 cases, deputies wrote in a police report.
He was booked into the Snohomish County Jail on Wednesday night.

Colchagua Valley, a serene sub-valley of Rapel, is situated in Chile's Central Region at the heart of the country's wine-producing zone. Nestled between the Pacific Coastal Range to the west and the snow-capped Andes to the east, this rustic valley is a protected environment with positive maritime influences that foster a terroir ideal for producing quality wines.
Five ranges of MontGras wines are available: Estate, Reserva, Quatro, Limited Edition, and Ninquén.
In 1996 MontGras, along with five other area wineries, founded the Colchagua Valley Wine Route to promote and facilitate tourism and educate the public about the traditions of Chilean winemaking. Guided tours and tastings at MontGras are available Monday through Friday year-round, by appointment only. View all MontGras Wines
About ChileView a map of Chile wineries (CHEE-lay)

Notable FactsThe main regions of Chile include Maipo (pronounced MY-poh), known for reds like Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Carmenere; Casablanca Valley, a region producing delicious Sauvignon Blanc, as well as other whites & some reds; Colchaugua, an inland district creating amazing red wines from Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon, particularly in the Apalta sub-region; and Rapel Valley, settled right under Maipo and producing the same red varietals. A couple of smaller regions to watch include Limari and Elqui, two valleys further north, producing some delicious cool-climate Chardonnay and Bio Bio, an area further south, which is also focused on cool-climate varieties. Chilean wines are growing in exports and more consumers are enjoying the delicious values coming from the country. Red wines of the region, though they cannot be generalized, make the whole gamut of wine quality – quaffable to collectible. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot & Carmenere are the main players, though Syrah is also making a splash. Some of the best reds are blends of the above varieties. As for whites, Sauvignon Blanc is typically crisp, herbal and racy, while Chardonnay is richer in style with full-bodied texture and tropical fruit flavors.

Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel recently offered a stark assessment of the threat to his state's future that is posed by mounting pension and retiree health-care bills for government workers. Unless Illinois enacts reform quickly, he said, the costs of these programs will force taxes so high that, "You won't recruit a business, you won't recruit a family to live here."
We're likely to hear more such worries in coming years. That's because state and local governments across the country have accumulated several trillion dollars in unfunded retirement promises to public-sector workers, the costs of which will increasingly force taxes higher and crowd out other spending. Already businesses and residents are slowly starting to sit up and notice.
"Companies don't want to buy shares in a phenomenal tax burden that will unfold over the decades," the Chicago Tribune observed after Mr. Emanuel issued his warning on April 4. And neither will citizens.
Government retiree costs are likely to play an increasing role in the competition among states for business and people, because these liabilities are not evenly distributed. Some states have enormous retiree obligations that they will somehow have to pay; others have enacted significant reforms, or never made lofty promises to their workers in the first place.
Indiana's debt for unfunded retiree health-care benefits, for example, amounts to just $81 per person. Neighboring Illinois's accumulated obligations for the same benefit average $3,399 per person.

Cluster Resources Announces Integration of Moab with Panasas ActiveScale Storage Cluster 2. Technical Training Slots Still Available 3. New Moab Evaluations 4. Moab Admin Manual PDF 5. DID YOU KNOW: Hard Policy Based Reservations ******************************************************** *Cluster Resources Announces Integration of Moab with Panasas ActiveScale Storage Cluster* Cluster Resources, Inc. recently unveiled a new partnership with Panasas, Inc., delivering a holistic next-generation, compute and storage solution through the integration of Cluster Resources' Moab Workload Manager^TM with the Panasas ActiveScale^® Storage Cluster. This combined solution is believed by many to be the next logical step in the evolution of the cluster, allowing more unified system optimization, more adaptable resources and more powerful policy-based service delivery. The integration of these technologies provides Moab with the information it needs to more efficiently drive user workloads in a storage-aware manner, avoiding failures and data bottlenecks while intelligently directing the ActiveScale Storage Cluster to adapt to storage requirements of the upcoming workload schedule. This partnership is creating a complete clustered environment that optimizes compute and storage resources for maximized return on investment. "The collaborative work of Cluster Resources and Panasas enables HPC customers to more fully maximize the value of their infrastructure by tightly mapping Panasas Storage Clusters to the workload that accesses them under a single policy engine," said Len Rosenthal, chief marketing officer of Panasas. "Customers will have the ability to schedule and run workloads in order to achieve maximum I/O performance in an intelligent and highly adaptive manner in line with high-level mission objectives." Cluster Resources and Panasas are currently delivering on the early phases of the integration effort allowing Moab to automatically learn and even predict the I/O requirements and characteristics of cluster workload. Further, Panasas is generating and exporting storage contention information that is now being used by Moab to prevent over-commitment of storage resources, minimizing data thrashing through intelligent workload selection. Read the full press release at: http://www.clusterresources.com/media/Press%20Releases/Panasas-Cluster_Resources.pdf ******************************************************** *Technical Training Slots Still Available* The time is getting closer to Cluster Resource's free technical training on March 23 and 26. Slots are still available for both days. The training will consist of six one-hour classes repeated two days. Customers and partners will be given first priority and other slots will be filled as space allows. At the same time, we are hosting on site training for anyone that can travel to our Provo, UT headquarters location. This will allow you to meet face-to-face with the Moab developers. The six topics to be covered are: - Grids - QoS enforcement - Stats analysis - Troubleshooting - Prioritization and Fairshare - Moab in the data center Complete details about connecting into the conference, call in numbers, training order, etc. will be provided next week to those that sign up or inquire about the training. If you would like to receive an invitation to the training, please e-mail jennat at clusterresources.com <mailto:jennat at clusterresources.com>. Training recordings will be posted on line after the live training session. To view last year's training session, go to www.clusterresources.com/techtraining <http://www.clusterresources.com/techtraining>. ******************************************************** *New Moab Evaluations* Moab 5.0 evaluation builds are available on the Cluster Resources eval web site. When Moab 5.1 is released soon, an updated evaluation build will be available as well. Moab evaluations are fully functional and also allow you to try out the graphical tools, Moab Cluster Manager and Moab Access Portal. Evaluations last for 45 days before you will need to contact Cluster Resources to obtain a license. The new releases of Moab are significant because they mark definitive upgrades to their grid and utility computing abilities. Moab 5.0 has added functionality in the areas of data staging, virtualization, new diagnostics, and scalability. Moab 5.1 will improve upon that even more with added integration with SLURM. More information will be available soon regarding the Moab 5.1 release. See the CHANGES file contained in the Moab binary for a detailed explanation of new features, enhancements, and fixes. These new evaluation builds give you the opportunity to try many of the new features included in Moab 5.x. To download the evaluation for clusters go to: http://www.clusterresources.com/eval To download the evaluation for grids go to: http://www.clusterresources.com/grideval ******************************************************** *Moab** Admin Manual PDF* The Moab admin manual PDF has been updated with changes for Moab 5.0. This PDF will be update again soon with the release of Maob 5.1. You can view the PDF at: http://www.clusterresources.com/documentation (The link is next to the Admin Manual for Moab Workload Manager) ******************************************************** *DID YOU KNOW: **Hard Policy Based Reservations* Reservations contain multiple ACL modifiers to help change the default behavior of ACL processing. The recently added ACL modifier, HPEnable, allows you to determine which credentials receive preferential access to a reservation. By adding a ~ to a credential list, such as USERLIST, the credential will be ignored during /soft policy/ scheduling and will only be considered for /hard-policy/ scheduling once all eligible soft policy jobs have been started. SRCFG[reservation1] USERLIST=john,~bill In this example, all john's jobs will allowed to run in the reservation at any time. Bill's jobs will also be allowed to run in this reservation, but only considered after all of john's jobs are given an opportunity to start. John's jobs will be considered before bill's jobs regardless of job priority. For more information on HPEnable see see 126.96.36.199.5 ACL Modifiers in the Moab documentation. http://www.clusterresources.com/products/mwm/docs/7.1.5managingreservations.shtml#aclmodifiers ______________________________________________________ *Contact Us: * Product Feedback, Technical Support, Consulting and Custom Development queries can be sent to info at clusterresources.com <mailto:info at clusterresources.com> or call us at +1 (801) 873-3400 Moab Workload Manager^TM , Moab Cluster Manager^TM ^ , and Moab Access Portal^TM are trademarks or registered trademarks of Cluster Resources Incorporated^TM .

By Rich Heldenfels Akron Beacon Journal
The Syfy series "Warehouse 13" is not currently in production. But there's still work to be done.
Eddie McClintock, who plays investigator Pete Lattimer on the series, said in a recent telephone chat that "I've been working diligently on my Twitter and Facebook page to rally the troops for the coming premiere."
That premiere is at 10 tonight on Syfy, and it comes with as big a mystery as the supernatural ones the show looks into: Why hasn't "Warehouse" been picked up for a fifth season?
The run of episodes beginning tonight is, according to Syfy, a continuation of the show's fourth season. The first part began in July 2012 and ran for 10 episodes before the show went on pause from October until now, when 10 more episodes will air.
When the network ordered those 20 episodes, it said the first 10 would be the fourth season and the others would be saved, presumably for a fifth. Now it's all one season.
That could just be a money-saving move; if the latest run was counted as a fifth season, the cast was due a raise. But it remains confusing for viewers, who had a long wait between telecasts, and the people making the show, who face uncertainty after several secure seasons.
The series, which follows a group collecting dangerously powerful artifacts and storing them in a secret warehouse, has been solid entertainment, funny and touching, suspenseful — and literate, with real history tied to the artifacts.
McClintock said last year that the network considered the fourth season the show's strongest to date. Tonight's telecast picks up where the series left off, with a plague unleashed on Earth, and warehouse supervisor Artie (Saul Rubinek) stabbed.
The other members of the warehouse team will have to deal with those crises, but there are plenty more to come in the ensuing telecasts.
"I feel like we're still doing great work," McClintock said. "I feel like there's a lot more to be done with the show. The dark tone that it took at the end (of last year's telecasts) doesn't overpower the premiere or the following episodes."
It has to honor what has gone before, some of which is grim, he said. But it would never get too grim.
"I think that the grim, dark stuff that we deal with also gives us license to have the funny parts as well," he said. "It's why people love it.
"That's what really makes me love the work I do. That I can still be the silly character I love to do, but at the same time I can be a real actor and do some real work."
Pete, he said, "is not just some cutout of a wacky detective." He is good at his job and a recovering alcoholic; he "has dimension," McClintock said. As do other characters on the series.
Still, Syfy and its corporate parents NBC Universal and Comcast have not given "Warehouse" a vote of confidence even as they have been renewing other Syfy series.
McClintock does try to be optimistic. "The writers are actually at work right now," he said.
"NBC Universal has paid over a million dollars to get them in the room so that some scripts will be ready for the projected start date (of production on a fifth season), around mid-June. But until it's announced … it's not official."
Watch it
"Warehouse 13" returns at 8 tonight on Syfy.

After 25 Years of Trying, Two Friends Win $14 million Jackpot
As the old saying goes, insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results, but a pair of old lottery friends and newly-minted millionaires would beg to differ. For 25 years, Willie McPherson, 74, and Christopher Manzi, 44, dutifully put their cash together in the hope that the day would come one when of their lottery tickets finally hit. Last month, the two old friends won a $14 million Mega Millions jackpot, and they did it with a ticket they didn't even have to pay for. After borrowing $20 from Manzi, McPherson bought the usual $40 worth of Powerball and Mega Millions tickets for the two men on September 18 at a coffee shop in Manhattan and was given two $1 Quick Picks for free as part of a promotion
. One of those two was the jackpot winner, which McPherson determined a day later. "Willie came in and said, 'We hit the lottery! We're going to Miami!' " Manzi told The New York Post. "We won $14 million on a free play ticket," McPherson told The New York Daily News. "(It feels) beautiful." The two men took the lump sum option, which resulted in a prize of just over $10 million. Manzi, who lives in Morganville, N.J., gets $3.5 million after taxes, while McPherson will get $3.3 million after taxes because he is a Manhattan resident. "It's just a great feeling,'' Manzi told the Daily News. "We are two lucky guys." The two have been buying tickets together since 1987 after becoming friends when McPherson worked at Manzi's print shop in Manhattan, according to The New York Post. McPherson has been retired for eight years, and Manzi is now contemplating retirement after his windfall. "We both like playing the lottery, we both like women, and we both like lots of money,'' Manzi told the Post about their common interests. The owner of Kyu's Coffee Shop, where McPherson bought the winning ticket, received $10,000 for selling the golden ticket.

hi, i have BT4 running from DVD, but for some reason knetwork manager doesnt want to open at all. I connected using konsole, but that is kind of a pain. any ideas on why it wont run? I've been looking for a solution for a couple days and havent come across the answer yet. if it's in these forums and i overlooked it a link would be great. thanks in advance for any help.
edit: So I found out that once i connected it starts the "artsd" process which is the sound system. so for anyone else having this problem... just go to Menu/system/settings/sound & multimedia/sound system and disable it and then connect to whatever network. works perfect. no more laggy behavior. thanks for the response by the way mucho appreciated
Haha. I realized that right after I posted but now once I connect my comp suddenly begins acting very laggy all together. It doesn't do this when I manually connect through konsole. :/
How do you connected using konsole? i am kind of noob and i can't connect using knetwork manager.. I cant connect to wpa
I have an RTL8187b wireless card
And the globe stays green. I create a new connection with everything, and it starts trying to connect (globe disappear and appear another thing)... But it cant connect, the other thing that substitutes the globe stays there, but it stop trying to connect a (Device: wlan0 state: Disconnected)./etc/init.d/NetworkManager start
so if you can post the commends to connect to WPA I would thank you
I tried what you said, to disable the sound and then the Wicd Manager works.
Why is this so. It seems so wierd.
I hope this doesn't happen on the final release of BT4.

My R90/6 Build Thread
My search for an airhead ended when I finally got in contact with the guy who owned this 76 r90/6. I found it on craigslist and after a week of trying to get in contact with him I heard back. They had been on vacation and to my surprise still had the motorcycle. Talked to him on the phone and made a plan to take off that Saturday for the 5 hour drive to get it. To out surprise the bike ended up being in better shape than the picture he had on craigslist made it appear to be.
Money was exchanged we loaded the bike up and headed back home. This winter brings a full overhaul on the bike. The bike will be painted wimbledon white with the classic bmw pinstripe done in black. Motor will be getting painted black also. So with an attempt to keep this as short as possible here are the pictures. I picked it up last Saturday.
First time seeing the bike in person at the sellers home
All loaded up for the big trip home
Unloaded the bike into my dads shop where we will be doing all the work on it this winter.
Sunday the day after I picked it up decided to start taking her apart.
Last night pulled the motor/transmission and touched up the paint on the frame.
After touching up the frame, started sandblasting the parts we could to prep them for paint. This is a comparison of the sandblasted vs non sandblasted
The goal this weekend is to get the rest of the motor cleaned and sandblast what ever parts we can to get the motor ready to paint. This is all the progress so far but I will continually update this thread!

But if you want to see surfing at its most ugly and mass-consumed, head to the U.S. Open of Surfing in Huntington Beach.
The best nightlife is in Huntington, a small college town with a selection of clubs and bars.
The closest toy store to Tiger Woods' boyhood home is a Toys "R" Us in Huntington Beach, California.
The third, the Huntington Reproductive Clinic in Southern California, agreed.
As the surfing died down on Sunday, July 28, a riot broke out in the streets of Huntington.
Marian seated herself and then looked up into Huntington's face with an expression of complete satisfaction.
"Phebe has just found out about Huntington's, papa," she said, with brave dignity.
There is a great disproportion between Huntington's and Hamilton's battalions.
She felt that Haig was playing with Huntington, and biding his time.
Hamlen took his hand in both his own and gazed for a long moment into Huntington's face.

Heather Watson breezed into the final round of qualifying at the Australian Open without dropping a game.
The British number three took on Stephanie Foretz Gacon and was leading 6-0 2-0 when the Frenchwoman pulled out because of a shoulder problem after only 36 minutes on court.
Watson admitted to experiencing nerves after her first-round victory over Arina Rodionova on Thursday but looked much more at ease.
The 21-year-old has found herself back in grand slam qualifying for the first time since the French Open in 2012 following her struggles with glandular fever last year.
Watson has a lot of ranking points to defend having reached the third round last year but is now only one victory away from a place in the main draw.
In her final qualifier she will meet American Irina Falconi, who was an emphatic 6-2 6-0 winner over Chanel Simmonds in round two.
Watson was delighted with her performance, saying: "I was still very nervous but I controlled it a lot better.
"I knew what I wanted to do in the match. I've played Stephanie a lot of times and they've been long, tough matches.
"I knew it was going to be difficult so I focused more on me and what I wanted to do on the court, and ended up playing really, really well. I was very happy with my serve, my returns, groundstrokes, just everything.
"That's how I want to play. I came in with a different approach. It was nice to get through the first match but now I'm feeling better I want to hit the shots that I've been practising."
Watson is the last remaining British player in qualifying after Johanna Konta was beaten 6-1 6-2 by Olga Savchuk.
It was a big disappointment for the 22-year-old, who only just missed out on an automatic place in the main draw and was seeded third in qualifying.
She had looked in fine form in her first match but could not find the same consistency against experienced Ukrainian Savchuk.

A dozen city-owned parking lots will soon be equipped with electric vehicle charging stations at no cost to taxpayers.
The Long Beach City Council this week approved a contract for the installation of a dozen charging stations throughout the city, with the possibility of additional stations in the future.
Mayor Bob Foster said in a statement that Long Beach has made a strong commitment to "promoting sustainability and alternative fueled vehicles.
"We are making it easier for residents and visitors to operate alternative fuel vehicles, and improving air quality."
Three companies applied for the contract, and after a panel of city and county employees conducted interviews, the contract was awarded to ECOtality North America of Phoenix with headquarters in San Francisco.
"ECOtality was deemed to be the most qualified based on their proposal and their extensive experience in the industry," said Sarah Price, capital projects coordinator for the Department of Public Works.
According to its website, ECOtality has a history in electric transportation dating back to 1989.
The initial installation will include 12 stations including city-owned parking lots and facilities such as the Long Beach Convention Center, Aquarium of the Pacific, Long Beach Airport, Queen Mary, CityPlace parking structure and a parking lot near Long Beach Boulevard and Market Street.
"The start of installation is dependent on how long it takes to go through (the) Southern California Edison electrical plan check, but we estimate the first batch will be installed in early 2013 and the rest in the months to follow," Price said.
The proposed chargers will be Level 2, 240-volt and DC Fast Chargers, and users will be able to search for their locations through a cellphone application. Each charger will cost ECOtality around $3,000.
Price said the current estimate is approximately 12 locations with between two and six chargers at each location.
"The vendor and city are open to negotiating future locations and stations, depending on customer demand," Price said.
In addition, ECOtality will pay to install a separate meter at each location and will pay for the electricity directly.
Customers will be responsible for the cost of parking in these lots and will be responsible for paying for the use of the charger, Price said.
As far as terms of the three-year contract, the city attorney is still "finalizing the agreement," Price said.
The contract does include an option for two more years, Price said.

Bow Fishing vs Local Ordinances
I keep stumbling upon the same type of code in my searches for places where bow fishing is permitted:
13.04.070 Possession of Firearms and Weapons.
It is unlawful for any person, other than peace officers in the discharge of their duties, to use, carry or possess firearms, air rifles, BB guns, spring guns, bow and arrows, slingshots or any other potentially dangerous form of weapon, unless permitted by a City Council resolution. (Ord. 94-12, 8/23/94)
I have sent the following letter (changed the city names) to some local municipalities:
Perhaps you can assist me in my search for information. I wish to engage in bow fishing in Newport below the tide line. The Dept. of Fish & Game allows for bow fishing as a legal form of take provided it does not violate any county or municipal ordinances. Some cities have ordinances prohibiting the use of archery equipment within city limits but draw the city line at the high tide mark…making bow fishing legal and acceptable as long as you're on wet sand or rock jutting out into the ocean. Others prohibit use of archery equipment for bow fishing on specific landmarks like piers while allowing it in other places. This applies to both salt and freshwater bodies of water. What applicable ordinance (if any) applies to bow fishing in Newport? Can you help me? I only wanna catch a fish, not end up in handcuffs.
Many thanks,
Bruce Carter
Does anyone know if city control extends beyond the high tide mark and if so...have they effectively outlawed bow fishing this way? TIA
Many of the cities I've called reply..."We don't know."

Was $199.95 NOW $149.95
This is the rechargeable grass trimmer that only weighs 6 lbs. yet provides a powerful, precise trimming and a long-lasting battery. It can cut through 64' sq. of grass in a little under three minutes, powered by its light yet powerful 32-volt rechargeable battery that provides 56 consecutive minutes of trimming after a 4 1/2-hour charge. When the trimming line breaks, it automatically extends the correct length of line to ensure uninterrupted trimming, and simply tilting the head and folding down the integrated wheels convert the device into an edger. The 6 1/4-lb. trimmer weighs half as much as gas models, its head tilts up to 90� to cut hard-to-reach areas, and a metal guard keeps flowers and plants from getting cut. 12"-diameter cutting path. Includes an AC charger and three 10' line spools. 35" H x 12" Diam. trimming head. (6 1/4 lbs.)

After further review and before buying..
By jon
from Texas
This trimmer is easy to use. It has the noise volume of an electric but not a gas. The speed is wide open or off. If you are under 5-1/2 feet in height, this trimmer will suit you best. I am 5'-9" and the extension is just too short for me to balance this trimmer with the auxiliary handle and not have the full weight on that arm. I can get the handle to lock at a more vertical position to help but the head also gets closer to my feet. It is best to use the detachable wheels even though it adds more weight because you will tire quickly trying to carry this trimmer without a shoulder strap. There are no strap mounts. The wheels work best on flat even surfaces.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Hammacher Schlemmer Response: At Hammacher Schlemmer, our goal is for you to be delighted with our products and our service. However, it is clear that this item fell far short of your expectations and for this you have our sincere apologies. Please remember that we back our merchandise with a lifetime guarantee.

Easy to put together. Quite lightweight and it holds the charge well. when using the edger part, it works well on previously edged walk...not good to cut a new edge on an overgrown walk. Works very well
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Getting older and we have a large lawn with lots of trimming to do. Gas trimmers had become too heavy and awkward to use. This trimmer is lightweight, easy to use and the battery lasts a long time. It works great on grass but I was surprised at how well it handled some pretty large weeds.

I'm looking to get a new wetsuit for this winter. I live in South Jersey (atlantic city), so water temps get to about 36-40.
Here's my dilemma - i am looking at the xcel infiniti drylock 5/4/3 and the quiksilver cypher 5/4/3, both hooded and I'm just not sure which one to get.
Anyone have any pros/cons for either of these suits? I've been wearing a Billabong 4/3 for several winters but it's time to upgrade after having froze my butt off a few days last year, plus the suit is just getting old.
Any help from you guys is appreciated.

This Or The Apocalypse drummer undergoes emergency surgery
Listen to This or the Apocalypse on iHeartRadio
This or the Apocalypse drummer Aaron Maloney is on the mend after undergoing an emergency appendectomy.
The surgery forced the metal band to cancel Sunday's tour stop in West Chester, Pennsylvania. But even though Maloney will be on the sidelines for an unspecified amount of time, This or the Apocalypse is still in the game.
The band announced on Facebook that Sirens and Sailors drummer Doug Court will be filling in for Maloney. Court will be pulling doubly duty on the trek as Sirens and Sailors is also one of This or the Apocalypse's supporting acts. Their tour resumed Monday night in Clifton, New Jersey, and is scheduled to stop next in Providence, Rhode Island on Wednesday.

The conference will be held in the 19th century Redl Palace that hosts Rényi Institute, in the very center of Budapest. Talks will be held in the main lecture hall, coffee breaks and wine & cheese party on Wednesday will be served in the main hall.
Street address is Reáltanoda u. 13-15.
Presentations The following softwares are available for presentations:
Internet access at the Institute
The halls of the 1st and 2nd floor are WIFI equipped.
Excerpts from Rényi Institute's Contact & Directions page
The easiest and most comfortable way of coming into town is to take an Airport Minibus, which will pick you up along with a few other passengers and take you to the address you indicate (the name of the hotel usually suffices). You may buy your minibus ticket right off in the baggage reclaim area or in the arrival hall. The Taxis you see when walking out of the airport (Zona Taxi) are quite cheap, they have a fixed price for going to the city from the airport (4800 HUF / 22 EUR) and you can share the bill. The return is even cheaper, 3600 HUF or 16 EUR.
There is also a regular (blue) bus (No 200) leaving roughly every 15 minutes, which for a normal Budapest bus ticket (300 HUF) takes you to the end station of underground line No 3.
Public transport
In Budapest, there is a great variety of public transport: underground (metro), buses, trams, even trolleys. For more information on schedules or night services see the page of BKV Rt. (Budapest Transport Ltd.)
In general, when taking a taxi while in Budapest it is better to take one belonging to a taxi company. Otherwise you should inquire about the fare in advance in order to diminish the risk of an unpleasant surprise. (Also if it's possible, call a taxi by phone instead of flagging one - it's cheaper)

Meet Results
NEW YORK, N.Y. - Led by a victory from Tom Timmins, a trio of Quakers qualified for the IC4A Championships in the 500 meters to help the University of Pennsylvania men's track and field team to a second-place team finish at College Night at the Armory on Saturday in New York City. The Quakers also won the 4x400 relay, qualified three others in the mile and claimed the top two spots in the shot put.
Penn finished second among the 13 teams that scored at the meet. The Quakers accumulated 116.5 points which was well ahead of LIU Brooklyn's third-place total of 76. Princeton won the meet with 175.5 points.
Timmins won the 500 meters for the second straight meet to start the season. He improved upon his IC4A qualifying time with a winning mark of 1:04.13. Freshman Tim Hamlett was just off that pace with a runner-up finish of 1:04.35 and senior Allante Keels was fourth at 1:05.00.
The trio also led the Quakers to victory in the 4x400-meter relay. Keels, Timmins and Hamlett took the first three legs and freshman Brandon Senior crossed the finish line for the Red and Blue. He stopped the clock at 3:17.55 to edge out Virginia State in a photo finish.
Penn finished 1-2 in the shot put. Junior Jake Brenza and Sam Mattis battled back and forth for the top spot. Mattis held the lead after his fifth and best toss of 15.59 meters (51 feet, 1 3/4 inches). But Brenza retook the lead on his final throw of the night. It landed at 15.61 meters (51-02.75 ft.).
Senior hurdlers Tim Carey and Michael Brown added points in the 60-meter hurdles. Brown was second in the preliminaries with a collegiate-best effort of 8.40 and finished seventh overall at 8.43. Carey was eighth in the finals at 8.47.
Senior also scored in the 60 meters with an eigth-place finish of 7.12, and a pair of freshmen scored in the 200 meters - Harrison Scharf was fifth at 22.58 and Chad Payne was seventh at 22.78. James Killian added an eighth-place showing in the 400 meters (50.32) and Mato Bekelja was sixth in the 800 meters at 1:56.16.
Three Quakers scored in the mile as the Red and Blue claimed three of the top four spots. Clark Shurtleff was the runner-up as he ran side-by-side with teammates John Foye and Thomas Awad to the finish line. Shurtleff was just a few steps from first at 4:13.36, Foye was just 18 tenths behind that mark and Awad came across at 4:14.33. All three qualified for the IC4A Championships.
In the field, freshman Thomas Pitt was fifth in the high jump and sixth in the long jump. He cleared 1.95 meters (6-04.75 ft.) in the high jump and was perfect through that height. His best leap in the long jump measured 6.58 meters (21-07.25 ft.). Sophomore Everett Hateley was fourth in the pole vault when he cleared 4.40 meters (14-05.25 ft.) and sophomore Nick Straughn was fourth in the triple jump at 13.82 meters (45-04.25 ft.).
Its back to Lehigh, the site of the season opener in December, on Saturday. The Quakers will compete at the Moutain Hawk Invite in Bethlehem, Pa.

While you say you are using stiff consistency, you may need to make it even stiffer for the base of the rose if you want it to stand without leaning. You might also want to shorten the height of the base just a little (1/8 in. or less). Finally, make sure the bottom of your base is thicker than the top – it should be a cone shape with the narrower end up. If you are still having problems with the base standing, allow it to "crust" – let it stand at room temperature, uncovered, for about 1 hour until the icing surface dries a bit – this should help with stability.
Your petals might have a feathery edge for two reasons. First, your pressure isn't hard enough – try squeezing the decorating bag harder. If you still are getting that feathery look, you may need to thin the icing a bit (Sorry, I know I just told you the base needs to be very stiff!).

I think the decriminalisation of homosexuality was either 1967 0r 1968 under the Sexual Offences Act (Technically not legalisation because homosexual acts could still be illegal under certain circumstances). Suicide was alo a crime until 1961 or 1963; and betting shops weren't legal until around 1961

1 (17) - Jarvis Jones, OLB, Georgia; 2 (48) - Le'Veon Bell, RB, Michigan State; 3 (79) - Markus Wheaton, WR, Oregon State; 4 (111) - Shamarko Thomas, S, (Syracuse); 4 (115) - Landry Jones, QB, Oklahoma; 5 (150) - Terry Hawthrone, CB, Illinois; 6 (186) - Justin Brown, WR, Oklahoma; 6 (206) - Vince Williams, LB, Florida State; 7 (223) - Nick Williams, DT, Samford
Top Picks Analysis: Jones said he would never get past the Steelers and sure enough he didn't. It's like the whole league conspires to give Pittsburgh impact 3-4 players. Poor 40 times sent Jones crashing out of the top 10, but the Steelers got a Terrell Suggs-like steal in the first round. Second-rounder Bell is a big back who doesn't run like one most of the time, while Wheaton will have some value as a potential vertical threat, something needed after Mike Wallace fled to South Beach in free agency.
Best Value Pick: The Steelers may have found their successor to the declining Troy Polamalu in fourth-round choice Thomas, an undersized, high-energy thumper on the back end.
Questionable Calls: Taking Bell over Alabama's Eddie Lacy and Wisconsin's Montee Ball is going to make that a microscope pick. The thought process is that Pittsburgh wants big, physical backs to take advantage of the late-season weather in Western Pennsylvania but Bell just hasn't shown the nastiness as runner the Steelers expect from their backs.
Summary: Age has slowly crept up on the Steelers and this was the most important draft for Pittsburgh in years. The Steelers have moved on from former Defensive Player of the Year James Harrison and really can't count on the oft-injured Polamalu any longer. Jones is a perfect fit as an edge player and Thomas has a chance at safety. Getting Landry Jones, a Ben Roethlisberger- like clone, albeit without the escapability, was also a nice depth move.
Undrafted rookie free agent signings: Northwestern DE Brian Arnfelt; Northern Illinois LB Alan Baxter; Utah WR Reggie Dunn; San Diego State OT Nik Embernate; Penn State OT Mike Farrell; Notre Dame OL Mike Golic Jr.; Louisiana-Lafayette DE Cordian Hagans; UAB G Chris Hubbard; Florida DT Omar Hunter; Hawaii LS Luke Ingram; West Virginia C Joe Madsen; USC RB Curtis McNeal; Baylor C Ivory Wade; Michigan State DT Anthony Rashad White; West Virginia WR J.D.

Freshman Year
The Freshman Year Experience (FYE) promotes successful student
transition from high school to Lindsey Wilson College. Three
freshman advisers (FAs), along with the Director of FYE, establish
a working relationship with students through intensive advising
that guides them through course selection and registration, as well
as provides information, referrals, and coordination with campus
services. In addition, FYE hosts social events throughout the
academic year to encourage students to become actively involved in
campus life. Lindsey Wilson requires all first-time,
full-time students to complete the freshman seminar course taught
by the FAs and other college faculty. This seminar provides
an in-depth exploration into behaviors and activities that promote
success in college including student skill-development, service
learning and healthy social living.
The FYE incorporates curricular and
co-curricular elements. The two courses that are part of the
FYE are Freshman Seminar and Peer Mentor Leadership. Academic
advising for freshmen is coordinated through the FYE. The
co-curricular elements of the program include ACES (Achieving
Collegiate Excellence and Success), Commuter Student Association,
The Peak coffee house, and other social events planned by the
freshman advisors.
The FYE program, formerly Freshman Advising
program, was established with Title III funding in 2004. The
program has evolved over the years in which it has been in
operation. The peer mentoring program was added this academic
year, 2008-2009. This proposal seeks formal approval for the
curricular components of FYE, specifically Freshman Seminar and
Peer Mentor Leadership.
FYE Program Goals
The ACES Club, a service-oriented club within the Freshman
Year Experience, provides opportunities for freshmen to connect
with fellow students; participate in on- and off-campus
recreational activities; develop leadership skills and abilities;
give back to others through local, regional, and national service
projects; and receive encouragement to excel in the classroom.

Learning Communities
Learning Communities are groups of students with shared
interests who learn together. A Learning Community provides a
fun and supportive start to your college career at Lindsey Wilson
College. Students who join a Learning Community have an
instant support group which fosters academic and social
success. Students will be enrolled in two or more of the same

service activities. The groups include:
Honors Program
The Honors Program is designed to enrich the education of
participating students by providing challenging and engaging
curricular and co-curricular experiences.
Program Director: Greg A. Phelps, PhD, Turner 207, (270)
384-8234, firstname.lastname@example.com
Students who are invited to participate and who choose to do so
are expected to participate in three components:
Required in some majors and elective in others, internships give
students the opportunity to apply the skills and understandings
learned in their majors in a professional setting. Working closely
with a faculty member and an on-site professional supervisor the
intern receives valuable work experience and may receive an
advantage in competition for full-time, ongoing employment after
graduation. Pre-approved internship opportunities - paid and unpaid
- are available in certain majors, and may be taken during the fall
or spring semester or during the summer.
General internships are approved by academic programs. Faculty
members who supervise internships offered by their programs assume
responsibility for developing internship syllabi, insuring
compliance with established procedures, monitoring student
performance throughout the internship, assessing the intern's
progress and grading the internship experience commensurate with
the student's final evaluation by the work site supervisor and the
intern's level of meeting academic expectations.
Note: An international student who wishes to participate in a
paid internship, or any off-campus employment, must have
authorization from the Coordinator of International Student
Services prior to internship approval, registration, or start of
the internship.
Semester in Frankfort
Through an arrangement with the Association of Independent Kentucky
Colleges and Universities, a student may apply to spend the spring
semester studying and interning in Frankfort, the state capitol of
Kentucky. Students take two courses that deal with Kentucky
government, legislative process, and the media, and intern 30 hours
a week in either the legislative or executive branch. Students are
placed in an office that complements their academic strengths and
professional ambitions. The program is excellent preparation for
students interested in careers in law, the media or public service.
Up to 15 Lindsey Wilson credits may be earned through the program.

Other Academic Travel
In addition, Lindsey Wilson performing groups, classes and
organizations periodically plan for and engage in travel to
metropolitan areas in the United States and the world. Study,
service or performance has been the goals of recent trips by a
number of student groups. The Lindsey Wilson College Singers have
performed on trips to England, Canada and several regions of our
country. Each year various classes from humanities, fine arts,
science, business and social science engage students in the study
of their disciplines by traveling within and beyond our region.
Students also have learned more about the United States by doing
service work locally and in a variety of distant locations such as
California, Florida and Washington DC.
