Kington, Herefordshire - Extract from National Gazetteer, 1868
"KINGTON, a parish and market town in the hundred of Huntington, county Hereford, 18 miles N.W. of Hereford, and 154 W. by N. of London. It is the terminus of the Leominster and Kington branch of the West Midland railway. The parish, which is of large extent, includes, besides the town of Kington, containing Old and New Kington, the townships of Barton, Both-Hergests, and Lilwall. The town, which consists of two spacious streets, is situated under Bradnor Hill Camp, on the banks of the river Arrow. It is of considerable antiquity, and had an archer's castle for defence of the Welsh borders. Charles II. is believed to have slept at an inn in this town previous to the fatal battle of Worcester.The manufacture of woollen cloth was formerly carried on extensively, but has now entirely ceased, and glove-making, which, until a recent period, furnished employment to a considerable number of the inhabitants, has much declined. There are three branch banks, a savings-bank, iron foundries, a nail manufactory, and an extensive tannery. Courts leet and baron for the manor are held annually, at the former of which a bailiff is appointed; and the county magistrates hold petty sessions for the hundred of Huntington every Friday. The town is a polling-place for the county elections, and the seat of a Poorlaw Union embracing 11 parishes in Herefordshire, and 17 in Radnorshire. It is also the head of new County Court and superintendent registry districts.
The living is a vicarage* in the diocese of Hereford, value with Huntington annexed, £520, in the patronage of the bishop. The church, dedicated to St. Mary, is an ancient structure, and was thoroughly repaired and enlarged in 1829. There are also churches at Brilley, Huntington, and Michaelchurch. The Baptists, Wesleyans, and Independents have places of worship. The free grammar school was founded in 1619 by Lady Hawkins, who endowed it with an estate now producing 2300 per annum. There are also National and Sunday schools.
Bradnor Hill, to the N. of the town, are traces of an ancient encampment, and to the W. of the town is a mound which was formerly fortified - these works are supposed to have formed part of a chain of strongholds between Huntington Castle and the Castle of Lyon's Hall, to the S. of the parish. In a barn still standing the celebrated tragic actress, Mrs. Siddons, made her first appearance on the stage. Wednesday is market day. Fairs are held on the Wednesday before the 2nd February, Easter-Wednesday, Whit-Monday, 2nd August, 19th September, 11th October, and Christmas, chiefly for cattle."
"BARTON, a township in the parish of Kington, and hundred of Huntington, in the county of Hereford, near Kington. It is united with the townships of Bradnor and Rushock."
"BOTH-HERGESTS, a township in the parish of Kington, hundred of Huntington, in the county of Hereford, 2 miles from Kington."
"BRADNOR, a joint township with Barton, in the parish of Kington, hundred of Huntington, in the county of Hereford, not far from Kington. Bradnor Hill has on its summit the remains of an ancient camp, and commands an extensive prospect over the surrounding country."
"CHICKWARD, a hamlet in the parish of Kington, in the hundred of Huntington, in the county of Hereford, 2 mites S.W. of Kington."
"EMPTON, a hamlet in the parish of Kington, hundred of Huntingdon, county Hereford, 3 miles S.W. of Kington. The river Arrow flows in the vicinity."
"LILWALL, a township in the parish of Kington, hundred of Huntington, county Hereford, 2 miles S. of Kington."
"PEMBERS-OAK, a hamlet in the parish of Kington, hundred of Huntington, county Hereford, 2 miles S.W. of Kington. It is joined with Crickward and Lilwall to form a township."
"PENRHOS, a hamlet in the parish of Kington, hundred of Huntington, county Hereford, 1 mile E. of Kington, and 17 miles N.W. of Hereford. It is situated on the river Arrow under Bradnor Hill."
"RUSHOCK, a hamlet in the parish of Kington, hundred of Huntingdon, county Hereford, 6 miles N.E. of Kington. It is in conjunction with Barton."

Illuminating the Hidden Dangers of Sledding
Article ID: 599495
Released: 21-Feb-2013 1:00 PM EST
Source Newsroom: Loyola University Health System
Available for logged-in reporters only
Newswise — MAYWOOD, Ill. – A hearty snowfall brings anticipation for one of winter's highlights – sledding. The adrenaline from speeding down an icy hill, feeling the snow spraying your face and the wind's icy fingers nearly taking your breath away can be exhilarating. There is nothing like tearing down a perfect sledding hill to get rid of cabin fever. However, serious injuries can accompany the winter fun if precautions are not taken.
"There are some hidden dangers to sledding. It's a great winter pastime, but there are risks involved. Parents need to be aware of these risks to help prevent injuries," said Terri Cappello, MD, pediatric orthopaedic surgeon at Loyola University Medical Center.
Though injuries to the extremities were the most common in older children, children 6 and under most often suffered head and neck injuries.
"Parents don't often think about putting a helmet on a child when they go sledding, but if the child is under the age of 6 it's important. Also, never let your child sled head first. Injuries have been associated with the leading body part. If you lead with your head, you're more likely to get a head injury," said Cappello.
Here are a few tips to keep kids safe this winter:
1. Adult supervision is critical. Forty-one percent of children injured while sledding are unsupervised. Go with your kids or make sure an adult is at the sledding location. This will ensure someone is there to assess the area and make sure it's safe as well as to evaluate and respond should an injury occur.
2. Check out the location. Sledding should only be done in designated areas that are open, obstacle-free and groomed. Most injuries occur when a sled collides with a stationary object. Make sure there are no trees, poles, rocks, fences or cars in the sledding area. Also be on the look out for other sledders to avoid collisions.
3. Ensure the end of the run is safe. What is at the bottom of the hill? If there is a parking lot, pond or street, it is not a safe place to sled. Safe areas have run-outs that are far from water and automobiles.
4. Use clothing layers and helmets to avoid injuries. If you have a child under the age of 6, do not let him or her sled without a helmet. All children should wear multiple layers of clothing for protection from injuries and cold.
5. Always sled feet first. To reduce the risk of head injuries do not let your child slide head first. Sledders should sit in a forward-facing position, steering with their feet.
"Sledding is a great winter activity and, if parents take precautions, they can decrease or prevent injuries so kids can have fun," said Cappello.

Kendall Jenner sounds like she's committed to pursuing a modeling career, separate from her sister, Kylie. Here she's at an exclusive viewing of Russell James' photography exhibit, 'Nomad: Two Worlds.' As you can see, Kendall modeled for him. Yet Kendall wants to move beyond artistic photography. She wants to join the most elite group of models in the business today: the Victoria's Secret angels. Kendall explained her plans to E! News.
"Me and Kylie are sisters, but not everything we can always do together…She's not trying to be a model. She's trying to be more like a personality, so… We're trying to kind of separate ourselves—not in a bad way. We're not fighting!"
That makes sense! Kendall has the "look" for modeling. Kylie does seem more like her older Kardashian sisters (and I don't mean that in a bad way). E! News asked if Kendall would like to model for Victoria's Secret.
"It's always been kind of a dream of mine. It's something I'd love to do."
Something tells me momager Kris Jenner could make that happen, too. She helped set up Kim Kardashian's 'Playboy' photoshoots: Victoria's Secret is tame in comparison. And it sounds like Miranda Kerr is on her way out, or at least scaling back, so there's an opening…

attorney cut up an exiting lot and sold for less than another heirs bid to the administratrix
I am thinking that your question is asking if an Administrator of an estate needs to advertise before selling a piece of real estate in a succession.
Under Louisiana law, it depends upon the type of administration the estate is under. If the person was appointed as an Independent Administrator, then Court authority and advertising is not required. However, if the estate is under a regular administration, then in order to sell real estate, Court authority and advertising would have to be done prior to selling property.
You need to speak with a Louisiana Estate attorney to see what type of administration is involved.
See questionMy dad just died and left a will that only his current wife knew about and it left everything to her,they were married only four years and did not tell us . We found out a month later then he got sick and went into a veterans home he was there two...
You need to consult with a Louisiana Estate Attorney.
You can contest the validity of a will in Louisiana. A Louisiana Estate Attorney will be able to review the will to determine if it is legal as to form, as Louisiana has certain requirements that must be met for wills.
If it is found to be valid as to form, then you could raise issues to contest the will which basis can be that the will was obtained by fraud or undue influence or that the testator was incompetent to write a will.
It is imperative that you seek the services of a Louisiana estate attorney to review the matter with you.
See questionOur mother died intestate. My father and mother jointly owned the home they lived in and a some rental property. My question would be how does my father remove my moms name off the real estate?
You need to go through a process known as a Succession which ultimately will lead to a Judgment of Possession which will change the Title to the property. You need to contact a Louisiana Estate Attorney who can assist you with this process.
See questionA husband and wife each have a grown child from a previous marriage and the wills are identical and read: I will and bequeath the disposable portion of my estate to my wife (or husband). I leave the balance of all the property of which I die pos...
You need to consult with a Louisiana Estate Attorney since the answer to your question goes to interpretation of the wills. You are correct that under Louisiana Law, forced heirs are children 23 years or younger or any child who has disabilities that render them incapable of taking care of their estates now or in the future. The amount that must be left to a forced heir is called "the forced portion". The amount outside that forced portion is called the "disposable portion".
You need to discuss the wills with an attorney and have the attorney review the wills so that they can evaluate them and advise you as to how they would be treated under Louisiana Law.

"Intel's plans to overhaul its desktop processors early next year have been detailed almost entirely in a roadmap published today. The lineup is now believed to be headlined by low-powered S versions of the Core i5-750 and i7-860 that will run all four cores at 2.4GHz and 2.53GHz respectively; they should use just 82W of power versus 95W or more and fit into tighter spaces. Each will have 8MB of Level 2 cache, though the Core i7 chips will scale up to 3.46GHz where the Core i5 will stop at 3.2GHz."

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) -- Shares of Verizon Communications retreated Tuesday on the telecommunications company's announcement that it has agreed to buy Vodafone Group's 45% stake in Verizon Wireless for $130 billion.
Verizon's stock VZ, -1.39% was down 3% to close at $46.01, the second top decliner on the Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, -0.30% , which rose 24 points.
Shares of Vodafone VOD, +0.00% shed 1.1% to close at $32.01 as financial analysts offered different views on the deal's potential impact on the two companies.
Impact of Verizon-Vodafone deal on Canada, AT&T
Verizon agreed to pay $130 billion for Vodafone's stake in their U.S. joint venture, an enormous deal that gives Verizon full control of its wireless operations after more than a decade of negotiations.
In a note, Moffett Research analyst Craig Moffett argued that the answers "will hinge on the fundamentals of the wireless business."
"Verizon will have gotten a good deal if the U.S. wireless market continues on its current path of slow but steady growth with peak margins, and if Verizon Wireless maintains its current dominance," he wrote.
"Conversely, Vodafone will have gotten the better of the deal – and Verizon will have overpaid – if conditions in the U.S. wireless market continue to weaken, or if the relative position of Verizon's competitors improves. ... We think the odds favor further weakening."
On the other hand, S&P Capital IQ analyst James Moorman argued in a note that "the deal will make Verizon more nimble as it will no longer have to seek Vodafone's approval with major decisions."
Oppenheimer analyst Timothy Horan wrote that the deal "underscores the optimism [Verizon] management has for this business, despite increased competition from Sprint and T-Mobile US, and the opportunity to more easily integrate wireless with cloud and wired services."
Shares of Sprint S, -2.53% were off 0.5% to close at $6.68, while T-Mobile TMUS, -0.43% was up 3% closing at $24.04. AT&T Inc. T, -0.56% was off 1.5% to close at $33.32.
Cowen & Co. analyst Colby Synesael speculated that the "timing" of the deal "seems to have been largely influenced by recently rising interest rates making this a 'now or never' situation for Verizon and therefore forcing a premium offer."

HOLLY SPRINGS – The Strawberry Plains Audubon Center in Holly Springs will host the Hummingbird Migration Celebration amp& Nature Festival on Sept. 7-9.
This award-winning festival treats thousands of guests to renowned speakers on various nature topics, live animal shows, guided walks/wagon rides and a close-up look at the ruby-throated hummingbird, one of nature's most fascinating creatures.
Strawberry Plains is the perfect site for these tiny titans to stop and refuel before the grueling nonstop flight across the Gulf of Mexico. An abundance of native plants and feeders that provide insects and nectar help the hummingbirds pack on the required weight for the 22-hour Gulf crossing.
Visitors can see hummingbirds from inside the antebellum Davis House, as they flit through the gardens of Strawberry Plains. But nothing beats seeing these birds up close. Bob Sargent and his team from the Hummer/Bird Study Group amaze attendees with an unparalleled view as they put tiny leg bands on the birds in order to better track their travels.
Expert speakers from across the country will provide presentations on snakes, bats, birds and insects, and plants along with guided walks and wagon rides. A unique host of local artisans will be selling nature-inspired crafts.
Native plant and wildlife experts will be answering questions about what kind of plants appeal to birds, how to place your feeders for maximum benefits, and why indigenous plants are easier to maintain.
A large variety of rare native plants will be for sale at the festival.
Admission is $15 for adults, $10 for seniors, $5 for children ages 5-12; admission for 12-passenger vans and buses is $10 per person. Parking is free and concessions are available.
For more information visit http://strawberryplains.audubon.org or call (662) 252-1155.

From Jeter to Lee to Greinke to…
Who's next? Derek Jeter took his turn as the most discussed player of the Yankees offseason. Then Cliff Lee. Then Zack Greinke. So who's next in the center of trade speculation and free agent guesswork? Five candidates:
Gavin Floyd
For those not looking for pie-in-the-sky scenarios, Floyd might be the reasonable alternative. Fausto Carmona or Matt Garza might also fit into this category. Floyd could legitimately help the Yankees rotation, and he's currently with a team that might actually have reason to trade him.
Felix Hernandez
Joel Sherman has already made the case that the Yankees should immediately do whatever it takes to land the Mariners ace. Seattle, predictably, seems against the idea of trading him, but I don't think that will stop anyone from wondering and dreaming.
Andy Pettitte
He's so far been in the background. Every time Pettitte's situation has nearly bubbled to the surface, it's been overshadowed by some other move or potential move. Throughout the Winter Meetings he was secondary to Lee, then the Mariano Rivera signing became official, then Russell Martin signed, then Greinke came to the front of the trade market. Could be time for the Pettitte discussion to take center stage.
Rafael Soriano
Adrian Beltre isn't a fit for the Yankees, so Soriano seems to be the top remaining free agent who could make a significant difference next season. The cost would surely be extreme — the Yankees are going to have to battle with closer money — and it's still unclear whether Soriano would be open to taking a setup gig.
Carlos Zambrano
He might be leader in the clubhouse because — whether legitimate or not — Zambrano already seems to have generated some Yankees speculation this winter. The pros are obvious (been an elite pitcher in the past, familiar with Larry Rothschild), but the cons are just as obvious (massive contract, unreliable at best).

NATA 2012 - Round 1 Animations with the theme, "The Elephant in the Room."
Author Comments
Well, here's my submission for the NATA Novice Round! The theme was "The Elephant in the Room." There are no literal elephants here, of course. I went with the metaphor about having a large, overwhelming issue at hand (or something along the lines of that.) As far as the storyline goes, I guess this is sort of a bit of a sequel to Masquerade because it discusses another chapter in life, sort of. It is hopefully less depressing, though. The happy ending was intended from the start.
In terms of the animation style, I experimented a lot with this (probably more than is initially evident.) I did a lot more frame-by-frame than usual, and although it's still pretty shaky, I think it's getting better, so that's nice. I also started using the same sort of very limited colour scheme that I did in my last video for NATA, but I quickly found that using just blues and purples looked visually boring, so I branched out a bit. Each object or character only has two or three shades of a colour, but entire scenes are now more colourful. I also went a little overboard with vignettes and colour effects overtop of the final product, but I think they help make things look less flat and more appealing. Hopefully.
I also did a bunch of little 3D things in this to test out how well it could be integrated. Some things (i.e. backgrounds) fit in better than objects that move in the foreground, but it's still a learning experience.
As far as music goes, as usual, I did all the music. The tracks in this are just bits and pieces of things I'm working on, so I'm not uploading them to the Audio Portal yet, but whenever I work them into standalone songs, I will. Also I got a sweet condenser microphone for my birthday so for my next video I will have no excuse to not do voices.
Anyway, that's all I have to say for now. I need a weeks' break so I don't go mad from exams/finals/my job/life. Good luck to all the other competitors! Can't wait to see your stuff!

I really really enjoyed this and kinda related to this too, keep up the good work man.
Rated 3 / 5 stars
Oh come on... Having a job that pays just for the money is NOT a crime. What if I intend to do with that money much better things than I could ever do with music (supposedly I'd have been like that guy). And besides I LOVE business! Reading the business news once in every while makes my day along with listening to a lot of music.
That's totally fine. I guess the point I was trying to make is just don't do something that doesn't work for you, and for this character, business just wasn't working.

Presumptive Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney stressed during a speech at the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People's annual convention in Houston on Wednesday that he would represent Americans of "every race, creed and sexual orientation" if elected.
The former Massachusetts governor also stressed his opposition to nuptials for gays and lesbians.
"As president, I will promote strong families and defend traditional marriage," said Romney.
R. Clarke Cooper, executive director of Log Cabin Republicans, responded to the former Massachusetts governor's comments in a statement he released shortly after the speech.
"With his opening remarks to the NAACP today, Gov. Romney sent a message that he recognizes the importance of an inclusive Republican vision for victory in November. He deserves credit for taking the step to include sexual orientation by name," said Cooper. "That said, it is unfortunate that he countered his outreach to gay and lesbian Americans with a gratuitous attack on the freedom to marry. If Gov. Romney truly desires to represent all Americans, Log Cabin Republicans encourages him to avoid divisive social issues and focus on jobs and the economy."
The speech comes nearly two months after the NAACP Board of Directors passed a marriage equality resolution.

Delighted 7 year old
Eyes lit up when our 7 year old grandson saw his bed made up with these Glow-in-the-dark pillow cases (and comforter cover). The quality and feel of the cotton was nice enough for a person of any age to enjoy.. But the glow in the dark design was the enough to send this seven year old to the moon.

Love the sheets!!!
My great nephew was delighted by his new sheets!! The only negative comment I have is that the pillow cases were not sent for about 5 weeks after my initial purchase. I wish they would have let me know and I wouldn't have purchased them. Especially since they were a gift. Awkward when gifts are broken up into separate shipments - such a long wait for the cases.

Ours don't glow in the dark - what activates the glowing?
We've tried leaving it in direct sunlight or leaving lights on for 30 minutes before bed, but no glowing. Anyone know how the "glow" is activated?
Direct light should activate the glow-in-the-dark feature. Please note that we did offer these sheets without the glow-in-the dark feature as well. Perhaps you received those instead? Please call our customer service if you have further questions.

This is my birthday present for my sister ^^ I was origionally hoping to get this cosplay finished for the London MCM October Expo 2010, along with my rthas Menethil cosplay, so they could be viewd side by side, however due to me underestimating this cosplay that hasn't been possible giving the time constraint. This is the first cosplay I've done with this style of armor, and am finding it incredibly challenging and difficult tryng to figure out how to acctually realise parts of the costume. I am learning many new techniques during the course of construction, which has drastically slowed down the progress. I hope that with the skills I have learnt making this costume will become increasingly useful as I try to increase the difficulty of the cosplays I produce. However, unfortunatly I am not satisfied with this cosplay, with there being several huge mistakes on the design, which were simply caused by my rushing. |
Its looking great so far!!! :)
I love the way you have used the black paint underneath to make the armor look worn. A lot of people don't bother and it looks so much better when you do!
Can't wait to see the finished outfit
cant wait to see the finished outfit!
i so cannot wait to see this <3
i cant wait to see this finnished, knowing you and what cosplays youve done so far its going to get epic as the more you make the better you get D=
This is looking excellent!
WOW looking good! This is going to be so epic! I'm defo going to have to hunt you down at expo! good luck! :D
Woah, you've got some patients. I couldn't stand doing all them little pieces. Props too you <3 really amazing
That is gonna lok real good, I wish I could cosplay as the guy but he is covoured in so much armor that I cannot make everything attall or buy any attall lol
This look like an insane amount of work - and you're doing two cosplays! Looking brilliant so far!
I can't wait to see it completed!And Frostmourne looks epic!
This costume made my jaw hit the keyboard. AMAZING! Frostmourne looks pure evil and the rest of the armour is looking brilliant so far. Keep up the great work ^_^
Holy crap that sword is the shiznitz! :D
I can't wait to see this complete
Can't wait to see this IRL!
cant wait to see this...... if its possabel would i be able to but you for pics at expo????
I cannot believe I missed this. You both look incredible!
How did I miss this?
Wow, you looked amazing! Good work x
Wow! This is epic. Love the armour.

Digital vs. Analog engine gauges
I'm shopping for gauges for my small Yanmar diesel (Ammeter, Oil pressure, Water Temp and Voltmeter). Most of the gauges I've seen have been analog. Then I found these by Cruz Pro. CruzPro electronic boat instruments, alarms, digital gauges and monitors
My depth, wind speed, boat speed gauges are all digital and I'm wondering why I don't see more digital engine gauges on the market. They seem to cost about three times as much. Other than that, are there any drawbacks? |
Re: Digital vs. Analog engine gauges
<iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/il1Byvn_vMA?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
Pretty much sums it up.... |
Re: Digital vs. Analog engine gauges
Batteries on the other hand I like digital, as there a tenth of a volt is important and you can't see that accurately on an analog gauge. So there is a place for both. |
Re: Digital vs. Analog engine gauges
Re: Digital vs. Analog engine gauges
Analog also allow you to see trends better. If your oil pressure is falling you can see how fast. If your temp is oscillating (or not) you can see how much. Plus, I have organized mine so that when everything is normal at my cruising rpm all of the needles line up. I can then quickly see if anyting is amiss.
Re: Digital vs. Analog engine gauges
"why I don't see more digital engine gauges on the market. "
Because the analog guages are all pretty much just voltmeters and voltmeters are cheap. And in the aftermath of Three Mile island (really) a lot of research was done about guages and humans watching them. A digital disaply requires a brain to process the numbers and some attention to them. An analog display just requires pattern recognition, which the mind does at a much lower faster level. i.e. "The needle should be THERE" and when the folks who install the guages do their job properly, all the needles will be pointing the same way when things are normal, so all your eye has to see is "Hey, that one's different" to spot a problem. Really. That's why you'll oftne see race cars with the tach "twisted" to some odd position, so the needle is pointing "there" when everything is right, as opposed to always being oriented like a clock face. Cheaper, more effective. And more waterproof too, I'd bet. |
Re: Digital vs. Analog engine gauges
Re: Digital vs. Analog engine gauges
"Had never thought of installing them in a similar optimal position."
Part of the studies, and I totally forget who did them but something about a British power company comes to mind, eventually concluded that the best guages were the "edge on" type analog ones. That is, a vertical rectangle, not a round guage. And having the needle go "up and down" instead of around like a clock. That design is rare in consumer products, except for old-fashioned boat voltmeters. But the concept is that if the entire SYSTEM is designed properly, all the needles will normally be halfway up the display, so if you've got a wall full of them to monitor, you just have to pass your eyes over them and see "everything the same" in the middle of all the displays, and you know everything is OK. Which is why Homer Simpson is so good at his job.<G> Twisting the guages is what one does when one can't design the entire system, but has to work with whatever was in stock at the store. The other rawback to digital is simply trying to read them. LCD? You can read in daylight, if polarized glasses aren't a problem. Can't read it at night without illumination, which consumes power or burns out. LED? Yeah, great at night but can't see it during the day, burns even more power. Anything else? Pricey! So...sometimes obsolete needles aren't such a ba way to go. |
Re: Digital vs. Analog engine gauges
Contacted Cruz Pro regarding several issues. Their response was interesting:
"Our digital gauges all have built in user-settable low and high alarms so your existing alarm senders become redundant. You may find that you can replace the existing ON/OFF senders with proper resistive senders and screw them into the same fittings as the existing alarm senders. To display alternator output you need to be able top place a current shunt in the negative leg of the alternator. This is easy If your alternator has a floating negative output but very difficult if your alternator negative is connected to the alternator case. The CruzPro A60 (CruzPro A30 Digital Amps Gauge) is the only digital ammeter that we manufacture. Some of our battery monitors such as the VAH60, VAH65 and VAH110 also have a built-in ammeter function as well as the voltmeters. The current that our LCD voltmeters draw is very low however (only about 0.035 amps) at maximum backlight intensity. Even a small 90 amp 12V battery would run the voltmeter for months." So it seems the current draw isn't an issue. I could set an alarm on the AMP and Volt meter to alert me when the current dropped below a certain level. Seems even more fool proof than aligning the analog needles. Not clear on the "floating negative output" I think my alternator has a negative wire. Anyone know for a Yamar 2GM20? |
Re: Digital vs. Analog engine gauges
"So it seems the current draw isn't an issue."
Not with an LCD that has no backlight. A backlight can pull 40-120mA all by itself, way way more than the LCD does. "I could set an alarm ...Seems even more fool proof than aligning the analog needles." Depends on the quality of the fool. (G) An analog needle relies on someone looking at it. Digital alarms involve whether you can hear the alarm over engine and background noises, and multiple stages of electronics and wiring that can all fail. Foolproof? I'd suggest the digital and the alarms require less attention, but they've got more ways to fail. Or, more ways to get your attention. "Not clear on the "floating negative output" they're looking for an alternator which is NOT grounded to the engine block, but has a separate negative lead. Don't know what you've got. AFAIK there should be no reason why they need to install the current shunt in the negative versus positive line, since a shunt works the same way in either location, and the polarity of the voltage drop across the shunt doesn't matter. I would guess that because of the way they have set up their alarm circuits, they've painted themselves into a corner requiring the shunt to be installed in the negative lead. It shouldn't (dirty word) be that hard for them to design a circuit that can be used in either side, positive or negative. You see the avantage of fancy digital electronics now, huh? (G) |

- "The best way to deal with overcrowding is to add a second subway platform and to expand the concourse area to include a single TTC fare-paid area and pedestrian by-pass routes."
- "The project should proceed as quickly as possible and construction impacts should be kept to a minimum."
- "Co-ordination is needed between TTC, GO Transit & VIA Rail services and facilities."
- "Enhanced station access for persons with disabilities is important."

The 7th Perfume Cottage is dressed in another lovely French label, the Rose De Provence label:
The little cottages are very easy to make with a hot glue gun:
- Print on cardstock (I use Canon Matte Photo paper (160g)
- Cut out the cottage (all the solid lines)
- Score on the dotted lines
- Fold on the dotted lines
- Glue the bottom sides of the roof
- Glue the side walls together
- Glue the top of the roof together
- Tuck in the floor.
- I usually don't glue the floor, meaning I can insert a small gift, or a LED tea light if I wish 🙂
The file is free for your personal use and enjoyment. Go to the download folder below to grab your high quality copy 🙂

Stag's Leap Wine Cellars Cask 23 Cabernet Sauvignon 2005
Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley, California
Winemaker's Notes
A classic example of tremendous power and great finesse. The wine presents a symphony of aromas from sweet black fruit to cigar box, from savory spices of clove, allspice and licorice to dried herbs and flowers, even a touch of minerality. This complexity carries over to the palate with flavors that are reminiscent of spiced chutney. The bold flavors are wrapped in a blanket of supple tannins and persist through an extraordinarily long finish. It's a wine sure to enhance any dining experience. Savor it alongside venison chops with blackberry compote, bacon-wrapped quail, or a selection of aged artisan cheeses.
Critical Acclaim
Connoisseurs' Guide - "Almost sure to raise controversy with its involving aromas of leather, roasted coffee, scorched chocolate and herbs, this unique offering smacks ever so faintly of Syrah and may not fit the fruity Cabernet model, but its complexity is beyond any argument. It is smooth and supple in feel with plenty of palatal weight and a fine sense of polish, and its neatly fit spine of firm structural tannins is precisely the stuff of fine Cabernet. A few years of age should make a good thing better, and it has room enough for ten years of growth."
Stag's Leap Wine Cellars Winery
Considered one of the "first growths" of Napa Valley, Stag's Leap Wine Cellars produces renowned Cabernet Sauvignon from its historic Stags Leap District estate vineyards. Founded in 1970, the winery brought international recognition to California winemaking and the Napa Valley when the 1973 S.L.V. Cabernet Sauvignon won the now famout 1976 Paris Tasting, also known as the "Judgement of Paris." Stag's Leap Wine Cellars' three estate-grown Cabernet Sauvignons - CASK 23, S.L.V. and Fay - are among the most highly regarded and collected Cabernet Sauvignons worldwide. The wines are fashioned to express richness balanced by elegant restraint, an approach often described as "an iron fist in a velvet glove." View all Stag's Leap Wine Cellars Wines About Napa Valley
View a map of Napa Valley wineriesIt's hard not to think of Napa Valley when thinking of California wines. The region is, after all, the one that brought world recognition to California wine making. The area was settled by a few choice wine families in the 1960's who bet that the wines of the area would grow and flourish. They were right. The Napa wine industry really took off in the 1980's, when vineyard lands were scooped up and vines were planted throughout the county. A number of wineries emerged, from large conglomerates to small boutiques to cult classics. Cabernet Sauvignon is definitely the grape of choice here, with many winemakers also focusing on Bordeaux Blends. Whites are usually Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc.
Notable Facts
Within the Napa Valley lie smaller sub-AVAs that lend even more character specifics to the wines. Furthest south is Carneros, followed by Yountville, Oakville & Rutherford. Above those two is St.-Helena and finally, just granted an AVA, Calistoga. These areas are situated on the valley floor and are known for creating rich, smooth Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Chardonnay. There are a few mountain regions as well, nestled on the slopes overlooking the valley AVAs. Those include Howell Mountain, Stags Leap and Mount Veeder. Wines from the mountain regions are often more structured and firm, benefiting from more time in the bottle to evolve and soften.About California
It's not rare to see a wine's country of origin listed as "California." A country into itself in the wine world, California makes enough varieties and styles to match many European wine countries. It produces a diverse range of wines that span the quality spectrum.The most famous of the California wine regions is Napa Valley, and these wines are certainly outstanding – but it's not as broad and diverse as its larger neighbor, Sonoma County. Down south, Santa Barbara's Santa Maria Valley is well-known for its Rhône blends, as well as cool-climate varieties like Pinot and Chardonnay. The Central Coast, the largest California AVA, has many different microclimates that lead to a wide range of wines with many sub-AVAs.

BAD COMPANY MAKES DIGITAL DEBUT The Band's First Six Studio Albums, Plus Hits Collection 10 From 6, Surviving Members of Original Lineup Launch 10-Date U.S. Tour on June 17 Available Exclusively on iTunes on June 16, LOS ANGELES — The surviving members of the original Bad Company lineup — singer Paul Rodgers, guitarist Mick Ralphs, and drummer Simon Kirke — will reunite this summer for a 10-date U.S. tour that begins June 17 in Hollywood, FL at Hard Rock Live. A day before the tour kicks off, Rhino will celebrate the band's return with the digital debut of Bad Company's six Swan Song albums, and its multiplatinum hits collection 10 From 6. On June 16, Rhino will digitally release Straight Shooter, Run With The Pack, Burnin' Sky, Desolation Angels, Rough Diamonds, and 10 From 6 exclusively on iTunes for $9.99 each, with the band's eponymous debut available for $7.99. The albums will be released to all other digital service providers two weeks later on June 30. Bad Company's multiplatinum hits such as "Can't Get Enough," "Feel Like Makin' Love," "Shooting Star," "Movin' On," "Ready For Love," and "Rock & Roll Fantasy" propelled them to the forefront of the '70s arena rock movement. To coincide with the new tour and digital catalog releases, mastertones, ringback tones and sms tones for all six of the aforementioned tracks are available now for the first time from all mobile carriers. The original quartet – bassist Boz Burrell died in 2006 — debuted in 1974 as the first band signed to Led Zeppelin's Swan Song label. Their first album topped the charts and was certified platinum five times thanks to the hits "Movin' On," "Can't Get Enough," "Bad Company," and "Ready For Love" The band returned the following year with Straight Shooter, a triple-platinum album that peaked at #3 and featured the hits "Feel Like Makin' Love" and "Good Lovin' Gone Bad." Bad Company notched its third consecutive platinum album in 1976 with Run With The Pack, a Top 5 album that featured the hits "Simple Man" and "Young Blood." The group hit #3 on the charts in 1977 with its follow-up, Burnin' Sky. The band returned two years later with the double platinum Desolation Angels and in 1982 with its final Swan Song release, Rough Diamonds. In 1985, Bad Company released its double-platinum hits collection 10 From 6, the title a sly reference to the collection's 10 songs from six albums. The band will release a new live DVD featuring the original lineup, Hard Rock Live, later this year.

Re: Chrysler 300C
I think it,s going to make a luverly Lancia
Can this reworked exec saloon take the fight to Europe's finest?
Originally introduced in 2004, the Chrysler 300C was – and remains – among the most distinctive saloons on the road.
Sadly, the interior betrayed that bold vision, with its jumble of cheap plastic parts. The drive was acceptable, if uninspiring, and quality was a distinct problem.
So imagine the challenges product developers faced in redesigning the icon: they had to maintain its bravado, add a world-class interior, upgrade ride and handling, improve quality – and do it all as Chrysler was facing financial ruin.
For the most part, they have succeeded. The new 300C is decidedly more refined, if a little less distinctive than before, with a more rounded exterior accented by Audi-like LED running lamps.
The battleship grey interior has been replaced by more upscale materials; the instrument panel, accented by soft blue lighting, is especially appealing. However, the seats, while comfortable, don't provide the support you'd like – although an all-new 300S model, due later in the year, promises to resolve that issue.
Chrysler and Italian partner Fiat plan to introduce the 300C in Europe as the next Lancia Thema (though it will still wear a Chrysler badge in the UK), and you can sense where their 'best of both worlds' mindset influenced ride and handling.
Yes, it has the classic American muscle, especially with the 358bhp 5.7-litre Hemi V8, but as we discovered on the mountain switchbacks outside San Diego, the new 300C delivers more European-style road manners.
In addition to the Hemi, there's also a 3.7-litre V6. Both engines are paired with a five-speed automatic, but an all-new ZF eight-speed is coming and should bump highway fuel economy with the V6 up to more than 35mpg. Four-wheel drive is offered too, but only on the Hemi.
It'll take some time for Chrysler to rebuild its quality reputation, but it hopes to win over sceptics by delivering plenty of value for money with a surprisingly well equipped base car, including seat heaters, keyless ignition, dual-zone climate control and more for around £25k.
Yes, there are still flaws, but for the money the 300C could get Chrysler back on plenty of shopping lists.
Price: £35,000 (est); Top speed: 155mph (limited); 0-62mph: 5.9sec; Economy: 25.0mpg (est); CO2: na; Kerb weight: 1937kg; Engine: V8, 5654cc, petrol; Power: 358bhp at 5200rpm; Torque: 394lb ft at 4200rpm; Gearbox: 5-spd automatic
I think it,s going to make a luverly Lancia
Interior definitely looks better.
The sad thing is though, I can see this ending up as a modern day Scorpio / Omega in the used market if Fiat / Chrysler price it too keenly in the UK.
Make an interesting police car though!
It's all about the twisties........
i like this 300, didn't like the first one, too brash, too rubbish to be taken seriously!
I'd like this even better if we were getting the Lancia Thema version! But alas its not to be, but this could well turn things around for Lancia/Chrysler!
[quote marktobin]I'd like this even better if we were getting the Lancia Thema version[/quote]
MoPar in the US will sell six different grilles including the Bentley-style wire mesh, so clipping in a Lancia grille should not be too much of a task. The rear badge and wheel hubs should not be too difficult either.
In Europe we will get a 3.0 V6 Turbodiesel with 225-250 HP, built under licence from VM Motori.

It's not just about the grille. I know where marktobin is coming from, it is more about the brand.
It's all about the twisties........
But don't you think it should come with a kite mark?, you know?,tested and approved, of saleable quality in what ever country it's to be sold in?.
Peter Cavellini.
It's lost a bit of presence with it's Audi-esque front end. The exterior didn't really need changing. If only I could afford the petrol!
I'm not sure about the success of the car, badged as a Lancia, in Italy.
The market for luxury sedans is very small here, and it's dominated by Audi, Mercedes and BMW, usually in very high specs...
