The long-serving gaffer – about to begin his 15th consecutive term in the hotseat – admitted to going through agonies as his players diced with the drop before securing their safety at the expense of derby rivals Benburb.
The neighbours were involved in a tense basement battle which went down to the wire and was settled when defeats in their final league matches against Dunipace and Larkhall consigned the Bens to third-bottom spot, a point worse off than the Ants.
Such a close shave left "Cotter" vowing to avoid a repeat, and he has begun beefing up his squad through the summer.
He revealed: "Our difficulties can be traced back to events that saw six players depart through work commitments last time out and left us working with a core of just 12 guys from Christmas onwards.
"Having to throw in trialists who were out of their depth saw results suffer with confidence taking a dip, and I was fearing the worst right up until Ronnie McDonald netted a 93rd-minute winner in a 2-1 away win over Lesmahagow in one of our closing matches.

"I remember coming away from Craighead Park thinking those three points could save us, however it was still particularly nervy stuff waiting to see if Benburb could then overtake us.
"Thankfully they came up short and we maintained our proud record as the only First Division side never to be relegated, however we simply must look to improve this time out even if that may be easier said than done given the strength and quality of the five new clubs coming into the First Division.
"Neilston and Thorniewood will be looking to go straight back up again, while the promoted trio of Rossvale, Johnstone Burgh and St Roch's are all teams on the rise and will fancy they can emulate what Blantyre Vics achieved last time."
Retaining his key players – with the exception of Kieron Maxwell, who has signed for Arthurlie – made for a good start to rebuilding plans and McKenna is also delighted to have snapped up Ross Loughran (Dalry), Paul O'Brien (Postal Amateurs), Mark McQuade (Airdrie AFC) and Chris Barr (Petershill) on top of ex-Newburgh pair James Ross and Craig Houston who came on to his radar after moving down to work in Glasgow.
His hard work is showing signs of paying off, but he has been left disappointed on a number of other signing bids.
He said: "A lot of people in the game reckon St Anthony's are blessed to have such a good catchment area on our doorstep, but that only rings true if you can then get the players on board.
"Unfortunately, it tends to be the case more often than not that players I have earmarked as signing targets are likewise on the shopping lists of other Junior clubs and only last week I was feeling extremely confident about landing four of Harmony Row's latest crop of promising youngsters only for them to move to Clydebank.
"On top of that, two players who had been looking the part in our pre-season sessions – Paul Gordon and Mark McCarry – decided their futures lay elsewhere.
"Bellshill enticed Paul, while Mark returning to Glencairn was a real kick in the teeth as we had hoped he would forge a partnership alongside Willie Duncan, who did exceptionally well to bag 16 goals in his first season as a Junior last time out.
"Finding a striker to share the scoring burden remains a priority, and hopefully we can unearth someone during our pre-season friendlies which get underway on Saturday when Cumnock come to McKenna Park."
Meanwhile, former centre-back Stevie Milligan has replaced Danny Taylor on the coaching team, the former striker having stepped down because of work commitments.
Elsewhere, goalkeeper Ryan Mailey is on the lookout for a new club after featuring as Arthurlie No.1 Mikey White's understudy for the majority of last season.
Mailey, 21, who hails from East Kilbride and previously turned out for Lanark and Vale of Clyde, can be contacted on 07914 531356.
One-time Celtic defensive prospect Stephen Low has moved from Cumnock to Lesmahagow, while Glencairn manager Willie Harvey has fixed up former player Tony Fraser from Cumbernauld. Friend Link:Beats By Dre Headphones Online

He said: "Now it's time for my final Open Championship here at St Andrews. This will be it. People have asked me also this week about how am I going to feel. I really don't know how I'm going to feel, although I can start with some of the emotions.
"Is there one thing I would change about my career? I never look at it that way, no. What happens happens. I've got more than my share of lucky bounces because I feel like I'm lucky. I really did. And I've had some bad bounces, but I've had some lucky bounces, too, and I've had more lucky bounces than I've had bad bounces over my career, so I feel grateful to have accomplished what I've accomplished, and I hope that I've entertained people along the way.

"I had so many times in my career where I hit a shot that cost me a tournament, but I had so many times in my career where I hit the shot that won me the tournament. So they balanced out. So no, I don't have any regrets on that. It was just kind of the luck of the shot."
Watson, who revealed he will play his final US Masters next year, hopes he will leave a powerful legacy. "I hope people say that I did the right thing. I hope that people understood how passionate I was for the game, how I gave it 100 per cent, and I don't go blowing my own horn, but I hope that they understand that I've helped some people along the way. That's how I want to be remembered.

Being manager of Rangers can feel like having your head trapped in a vice. As the pressure builds, it becomes ever more difficult to see things in perspective.
It is a predicament which Mark Warburton is almost sure to find himself in somewhere down the line at Ibrox and one which demands the support of wise and trusted lieutenants.
An often lonely road lies ahead for the 52-year-old Englishman. He will need help and sound counsel. In David Weir, though, McLeish believes Warburton has selected an ideal man with whom to ride the rollercoaster that lies ahead.
Weir went through it all as a player during five remarkable years at Rangers, captaining the club to his third league title in the week of his 41st birthday, appearing in a European final and even getting into a grappling match with Gary Caldwell at the end of a typically crazy Old Firm derby at Parkhead.
He has surfed the highs, handled the lows and even lost the plot from time to time. Warburton will draw heavily on that experience of the Glasgow goldfish bowl as the pair bid to rebuild Rangers into a side of Champions League standard.
Serving as the figurehead of Rangers will be quite unlike anything Warburton has experienced before and McLeish admits he is waiting for his Ibrox regime to begin with bated breath.
"There are two kinds of pressure at Rangers," said the 56-year-old, who won two league championships and five cups in four-and-a-half years as boss. "If Mark gets off to a good start, he will find that it turns from being absolutely vice-like to something you are happier dealing with.
"If you are winning, you have to keep winning every single week and that is the mentality you have to drill into the players every day.

"In those circumstances, you have to keep on top of everything. The backroom staff will be important and Davie, in particular, because he knows what it takes to be a winner there.
"When it is not going so well at a club such as Rangers, though, it can really drain the life out of you. There is no doubt about it. I was certainly a little bit drained at the end of my time as manager.
"We had a decent end to that season and maybe that is because I had already agreed with David Murray that I would be leaving, but the pressure up to then really was like being trapped in a vice. It is all about being able to come through that.
"I received loads of different opinions about how it was going to be before I took the job at Ibrox, but nothing prepares you. You have to go through the experience, you need big cojones and your mentality needs to be right.
"When results are not going your way, you need your backroom team to be honest with you. They can tell you that someone in the team should not be playing or suggest someone who should be.
"You cannot be stubborn. You can't see everything in that job and, sometimes, you really can't see the wood for the trees.
"It is why the influence of very close assistants can help so much.
"I know just how exacting it is and Davie will know it from his days as a player.
"I think it will definitely be beneficial to Mark to have Davie there. If Mark had brought someone else in, there may have been more questions about him from people, but having Davie there softens that."
Warburton's reign begins next Tuesday with a home friendly against Burnley, but it is the first competitive match of the season at Easter Road against Hibernian in the Petrofac Training Cup that will see the former Brentford manager's methods placed firmly under the microscope.
McLeish, like Warburton, is a confident man with some pedigree. He knows, however, that there will be all kinds of doubts going through the Rangers manager's mind before it all starts for real.
"All kinds of things go through your mind before your first game, all the positives and the negatives," he said.
"When I took over from Dick Advocaat, I had people telling me I was taking on a poisoned chalice. I felt it was a real challenge and knew how great it would be if I could make things better, but there is a little negative voice in your mind asking what will happen if you don't win a trophy, don't win an Old Firm match, don't win a game at all.
"You don't want to be a failure at Rangers. People expect you to win just because it is Rangers.
"It is a job that really tests you right to the very edge of your talents and mentality.
"I got off to a good start in my first game and it is very, very important for Mark to sow some seeds and show everyone what is taking shape there.
"It is a great test in that very first game because the expectations that exist at Hibs will have grown as well."

A KIND-HEARTED pageant winner is today making a donation towards a community centre that helps elderly people with dementia.

Ms Sturgeon gave the Scottish Government's Greener Together Award to Govanhill Baths Community Trust's Rags to Riches project.
The scheme, based in the First Minister's south side constituency, gives local people masterclasses in 'upcycling' - turning old into new.
Ms Sturgeon said: "I'm delighted to make this award to Rags to Riches.
"It's a fantastic project and the recognition is well deserved."
Rags to Riches works with the local community to improve upcycling skills, providing new skills local people can use to help them find employment.
The project educates the community about the need to recycle what people no longer use and turn it into something they will use.
Now in their third year, the awards celebrate and reward communities for environmental action as part of the national Greener Together campaign, which encourages everyone across the country to play their part in making Scotland a greener and more sustainable nation.
Nadine Gorency, Rags to Riches project manager at Govanhill Baths Community Trust, said: "We're absolutely delighted to have received the Greener Together Award.

"Govanhill Baths Community Trust's Rags to Riches project has grown to become one of the leading upcycling projects in Glasgow and this award will help raise its profile further afield.
"This award is for the people who have joined us on the journey to develop and nurture sustainability within our communities - the volunteers, tutors and the many participants as well as partners who have supported our work."
This year's judging panel included representatives from the Scottish Government, Zero Waste Scotland, Keep Scotland Beautiful and Energy Saving Trust.
The judges highlighted that through their creative and innovative approach, Govanhill Baths has made recycling both fun and useful for local people.
The judges liked the range of approaches, from classes to This Is Not A Fashion Show events to local improvement projects such as using upcycled products to restore a community garden.
It was also noted that the project's work with local primary schools is also helping it to build a legacy.
Cabinet Secretary for Rural Affairs and the Environment, Richard Lochhead, added: "The Greener Together Awards recognise and reward hard-working communities who are playing their part and helping make Scotland a cleaner, greener place for us all to live.
"There is some truly excellent work being done across Scotland and I'm very pleased to announce the 2015 winners.
"The calibre of entries remains high from across Scotland, and this year we've seen really innovative and diverse ways of helping local people to live greener in their areas.
"It's hugely encouraging to see such passion and commitment across a range of projects.
"Congratulations to all of those who entered this year and to our winners; I can't wait to see what inspiring and creative initiatives this award uncovers next year."

While admissions have risen and fallen over the past three years in the city's hospitals, bed numbers have dropped by as much as 27% in the past three years.
Midwives claim they are facing "extreme pressure" to discharge new mums as soon as possible because of capacity pressures.
One midwife told the Evening Times a mother had recently been discharged at 2am.
In 2012, there were 152 maternity beds at the Southern General and the Princes Royal Maternity Hospital. Additional beds were also provided at the Queen Mum's hospital, which has now closed.
By May 2015, the number of beds available - antenatal and postnatal - had been reduced to 115 - a drop of 24%.
NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde say a decision was taken five years ago to reduce bed numbers across maternity services because "bed occupancy was low at the time" and patient stay was higher than average.
The board said additional beds are opened if numbers were inadequate for admission numbers.
However, staff say the cuts have left them facing pressure from managers to discharge new mums.
Promoted stories
Figures obtained by Freedom of Information laws show beds at the Princess Royal Maternity have been reduced from 80 in January 2012 to 58 in May 2015 - a 27% drop.
Staff said the problem has been compounded by a decision to move urology patients from Gartnavel, including men, into the maternity hospital.
Ward 6AB of Gartnavel, a mixed urology ward, has been relocated to ward 70 of the maternity hospital, where new mums recover after they give birth.
The figures also show that there are less maternity beds at Glasgow's new hospital than the old Southern General.
In January there were 72 beds at the Southern compared with 57 at the new hospital.
Gillian Smith, of the Royal College of Midwives in Scotland, said she would be concerned if any mother was discharged at 2am who hadn't chosen to go home at that time.
She added: "We have to ensure that post-natal services in the community are adequate and we are not discharging women who have clinical care requirements or who require support.
"I would encourage any members of staff who believes a women isn't ready to go home to challenge it."
A spokeswoman for NHSGGC said: "Approximately five years ago it was agreed, in consultation with staff and partner organisations, that the number of beds across maternity services in Glasgow would reduce. Bed occupancy was low at the time and patient length of stay was higher than average.
"A phased reduction in bed numbers was put in place and processes implemented to support timely discharge for women who were suitable and who wished to go home earlier.
"The reduction in bed numbers was achieved around 18 months ago and our new bed modelling is flexible to allow additional bed capacity to be opened at times of peak demand.
"Staffing however, has not reduced in line with the bed reductions as the overall activity remains unchanged."
MIDWIVES contacted the Evening Times to share their experiences of working with reduced bed numbers including one from the Princes Royal Maternity hospital.
She said: "Staff are under extreme stress and pressure to get patients out ASAP even though they feel they could do with another day in. Management are on their our case to vacate the beds.
"Only a few months ago a mum and baby got to go home at 2am in the morning.
"Many times, patients and partners are sitting in the patients dining room as there are no beds ready for them.
"Staff are run into the ground. Staff on a 12-hour sometimes do not get any breaks. Morale is very low.
"Management see all these issues on a daily basis but do nothing to help their staff.

"Urology mixed ward should not be in a maternity hospital. Mothers in labour are now moved to the 6th floor which is even further from the labour ward, putting patients at risk.
"Staff can't speak out about these issues, only hope that someone can step in and get this sorted before something goes wrong." Friend Link:New Beats Studio,

Last year they unveiled a Roll of Honour on the Friends of Glasgow Necropolis website, with the names of the 154 men and one woman buried in the Victorian cemetery who died in the First World War.
Since then they have been contacted by people with more stories to tell.
"A lot of families have got in touch and it turns out some are from the local area," explains Ruth Johnston, chairman of the group.
"It is really interesting to see they were quite close by to each other."
Living in Dennistoun, an area just across the eastern walls of the Necropolis, Ruth has a particular interest in the history of her local area.
"In Dennistoun addresses keep coming up, in Roselea Drive and Onslow Drive, for example. I wonder if they knew each other from school?", she asks.
One of those 17 soldiers from Dennistoun soldiers was James Hunter Lawrie who was killed in action in 1916, aged 20.
He lived in Onslaw Drive in 1915 when he was commissioned into the 3rd Battalion King's Own Scottish Borderers.

Nine months later he landed in France and joined the 7th/8th Battalion 46th Brigade, 15th (Scottish Division). Most of his short time with the battalion was spent in trench work near Hulluch village before heading to the Somme on July 21.
The battalion took over trenches on August 7 and two days later James, and several other men, were killed by a shell.
Another soldier was Private George Cunningham who was killed in action in 1916 at the age of 18.
After trawling through records, research has revealed that he lived at two different addresses in Roselea Drive, Dennistoun, as a child.
It is likely that George landed in France in 1916 and he may have been part of large-scale drafts to boost the numbers of the 100th Brigade, 33rd Division of the Highland Light Infantry in the run up to the ill-fated Battle of the Somme.
In July that year, just two months before George died, the battalion was involved in an attempt to capture High Wood, an action at the Somme, and sustained heavy casualties.
Friends of Glasgow Necropolis was set up 10 years ago by a group of like-minded enthusiasts interested in conserving the sculpture and architecture of the cemetery, next to Glasgow Cathedral, as well as its biodiversity and natural history.
Ruth has been a part of it since the second meeting.
"Over the years we have been involved in a lot of work. The wonderful Cathedral Precinct gates were restored in gold leaf and black, for example," she says.
"That was after a donation of £14,000 by one of the relatives of the company that made them originally.
"We have restored a lot of the stonework on graves and monuments and have a good partnership with the council and also make applications to Historic Scotland and other funding bodies."
The most high-profile work carried out by the group is the guided tours of the Necropolis. It might be better known as the final resting place of the great and the good, families who had a high profile in the business world, from the Templetons, of the carpet factory, to publishers Blackie and Collins, but also postmen, fireman, poets and artists.
The group is looking for more volunteers to take out tour groups or get involved in the ongoing research project to profile the dead of the First World War who are interred on the 37-acre site.
"The more tours we can do the more donations we get," says Ruth. "At the moment most of our volunteers work, and some are retired. I'm self employed so I am flexible. We cover as much as we can.
"We also have students from Torun University in Poland working with us recording the 3500 stones. We need people to convert the material the students are collecting into spreadsheets that can go on the website."
It was the local connection that drove Ruth to get involved.
"Where else would you want to walk around? It's such an inspiring place. As opposed to medieval graveyards that were all about death and hell, the Victorians felt theirs should be uplifting, not just in the architecture but the stories that are here too."
Glasgow City Council took over ownership of the Necropolis in the 1960s after it was originally set up in the 17th century by the Merchants' House, based on the Pere Lachaise cemetery in Paris.
Volunteers have now recorded profiles, available to view online, of 75 of the 155 buried at the Necropolis who served in the First World War, with more to be added.
Of those 155, 137 were from the Army, nine were in the Royal Navy and Royal Marines and two were merchant seamen.
Eliza Margaret Nisbet is the only woman, a volunteer with the Scottish Churches Huts that was later called Huts and Canteens for the Armed Forces.
She attended Hillhead Church and died at Etaples, France, on August 16, 1916.

Now, every Remembrance Sunday the group will lay poppies on those 155 graves. A map is available for visitors to trace the heritage of the First World War in the cemetery, with graves marked.

Mature student Darryl Fitch, 43, died after a brutal attack, while his 37-year-old camping companion was rushed to hospital after he was found nearby.

When police arrived at the scene, the found his seriously injured pal lying near the water.
Detectives, who are investigating whether a third person was involved, believe the injured man may hold vital clues about the murder.
A senior police source said: "At the moment we just don't know what went on.
"But, we can't work on the assumption that the only these two men were involved."
The two men, who are both from Paisley, are believed to have arrived at the beauty spot on Friday afternoon and had planned to spend the weekend camping and fishing.
However, at some point between Friday evening and Monday night, Mr Fitch, was the victim of a "violent attack".

"His death is now being treated as murder. Relatives are aware.
"Mr Fitch was believed to have been camping or fishing in the area with a friend since Friday the 10 July.

"But right now I do not know if the death of Mr Fitch and the injury this man suffered are connected.
"I need the public's help to build up a picture of Mr Fitch's movements between Friday and Monday.
"Who he was with, who he met.
"I also need help from any of the local community or passing visitors to Locher Water between Friday and Monday.

Alison Thewliss, Glasgow Central SNP MP, asked ministers about rising levels of poverty and links to benefit sanctions.
During the last Scottish questions and Prime Minister Questions before the Commons summer recess David Cameron and his ministers came under fire for the measures announced in the Budget last week.
The Tories however said their measures were working and insisted low paid workers will be better off.
Priti Patel, UK Employment Minister ignored the call and said getting people into jobs was the Conservative's priority.
She said: "Work is the best route out of poverty and this government is taking action."
Ms Thewliss said the action needed was on why people need to go to food banks.
She asked if the government would call an "urgent review into the 323% increase in requests for food parcels."
Ms Patel repeated the best way out of poverty was through having a job. She told Ms Thewliss:"You need to get with the economic plan."
Labour also joined in the attack on the Tories over welfare reform and poverty.

Shadow Scottish Secretary Ian Murray, Labour MP also challenged the minister on benefit sanctions.
He said he had been told by Citizens Advice Scotland there was "200 people a day being sanctioned" and he called for a review of the sanctions regime.
Ms Patel also ignored his calls and said the system of reducing or stopping people's benefit if they don't meet strict job seeking criteria was effective.
She said: 70% of people say conditionality (sanctions regime) helps with getting into employment."
Mr Murray said the budget was pushing more people into poverty leaving people financially worse off and called for the UK Government to be "given the power to make the welfare state fit for the Scottish people."
Labour interim leader Harriet Harman also challenged the Government on the budget changes and claims people on low pay would be better off.
She told the Prime Minister the increase to the minimum wage and renamed the national living wage would not compensate for tax credit cuts.

Developers hope the council will approve plans for a nine storey multi-million pound project on Renfield Street.
Work on the site between The Citizen M Hotel and The Evening Times office and across from the Pavilion theatre will start pending the council's planning decision which is expected in September.
Broadway Two is led by London based developers Titan Investors who purchased the site in 2014 and have a track record of delivering office spaces across Scotland.
Glasgow based architects, Cooper Cromar, have designed the building having already provided plans for the project's sister building, Broadway One.
The site is set to have 180,000 sq ft capacity and offer Grade A office accommodation.
The new office will complete the Broadway project, with Broadway One currently housing Tesco bank in an adjacent building.
Plans include space for a restaurant on the ground floor and open modern interiors.

Glasgow's Chamber of Commerce has welcomed the news of the new development and hopes the building will help attract more world class business names to the city and boost office capacity.
Glasgow Chamber of Commerce deputy chief executive Richard Muir said: "This is good news for the city centre. Even with a number of projects currently under construction, there is still a shortage of Grade A office space. "This will help the city continue to attract inward investment and grow its well-deserved reputation as great place to work, live and visit."
The Broadway Two proposal comes at a time when Glasgow city centre is greatly increasing its office space capacity to match demand for quality offices.
Developers BAM and Taylor Clarke received planning approval for the £70 million, 280,000 sq ft Atlantic Square project on Argyle Street last year as the city races to keep up with demand. FriendLink:Beats By Dre Headphones Sale

Thread: extended warranties for hybrid
extended warranties for hybrid
Have just purchased a new camry hybrid and am being pressured to buy a toyota extended warranty for 7years or 100,000 miles for $1685.
Argument is that this is new technology and need to repace failed computers and other eleectrical components cannot be determined and would be expensive.
I know the Prius has been out there for a while. What is the experience of these or other hybrid owners?
If given another chance would they have bought the extended warranty and why?

extended warranties for hybrid
I bought my accord hybrid used with 6k on it. The credit union offered the same warranty for $1k. I originally bought it from the dealer but the credit union was cheaper and had NO deductible. The dealers had a $50 deductible.
extended warranties for hybrid
You probably already have an extended warranty on the hybrid components. My Ford Escape Hybrid has a 3yr/36K bumper to bumper warranty, but also an 8yr/100K warranty on the hybrid components. Plus, I'm in a green state which mandates that the hybrid warranty is extended (free of charge) to 10yr/150K!
Check the vehicle's warranty closely, as well as any additional automatic extensions if you're in a green state.
extended warranties for hybrid
The Ford Escape Hybrid doesn't cover many expensive parts of the hybrid system. Read your warranty carefully. My 2005 FEH warranty covers only the battery, DC voltage converter, and the eCVT. I opted for the extended warranty.
extended warranties for hybrid
I'd buy it.
I bought a used Prius and I bought the extended warranty. I don't want to be in a position where I'm saying to myself "WHY DIDN'T I?!"

Extended Warrantee Scam BEWARE!!!
I bought a Prius in August. When I sat down with the dealers Credit Manager to do the paperwork I got a nasty surprise. He pulled out a 3-fold pamphlet that listed all of the things the factory warrantee DIDNT cover, told me the standard 36/36 warrantee wasn't much good and pressured me into buying an extended warrantee for $1675. Also told me that I could only buy the extended warrantee at deal closing -- if I waited til a later date I would wind up with a "used car warrantee" which wasn't as good! So I bought it because I figured I could do some research and cancel it if I chose to. Put it on my credit card. Called Toyota and asked them if their standard 36/36 warrantee was so full of holes that ANOTHER warrantee was needed to prevent disaster. They assured me it was not. Also assured me that I could buy the extended at ANY time before the original warrantee expired! So I cancelled the extended and Toyota sent me a check (less $25 service fee). Then I found out that the Credit Mgr. had double charged me -- he slipped ANOTHER $1675 into the bank's auto finance package!!
Is the Extended Warrantee Toyota's idea or the dealer's? I don't know. But BEWARE of this scam!!

I bought the Honda Care factory warranty @ 6 years 120000 miles.
Due to high mileage use of my car. I have canceled my extended warranty.
But we should all note the
But we should all note the circumstances so that we can possibly be better prepared in the future.
First note the timing, at closing, perhaps when you had started to relax after stressful negotiations over details of finance, credit checks, co-signers etc. And you can be sure that he was sitting behind a big desk, in front of a computer running all the details of all the possible packages, with a degree of assurance and confidence never available to the poor customer who can never be sure that he has achieved full and adequate price discovery. In these times it is easy to feel f**ked nearly every time. And then this guy starts hitting you with BS over an extended warranty. This starts to sound like getting whip-sawed as in good and bad treatment. It is a bad situation, not to be minimized, but such people are practiced at slipping it to you so quickly and smoothly that one hardly has time to respond.
Sort of like this guy had you by the balls. Fortunately when one is buying a car he can walk. In contrast, at closing for a house, things are worse unless one is perfectly prepared and that is impossible. I dont believe in running credit for anything anymore.
I personally believe in having all the money in cash to close on a car, screw them and any offers of credit, chances of getting screwed are too high. All of the details need to be settled well before closing so one can look them in the eye and tell them to stick it, if that is what it takes, if some guy starts telling me that he is doing me favor by offering me this fantastic one time offer.
Have you no recourse to getting the extended policy canceled?
I just bought a used 07
I just bought a used 07 Camry hybrid at a small car lot. It has 79K miles on it, and I want to buy an extended warranty to cover everything - including the hybrid charging system. My preference is to get a Toyota bumper-to-bumper extended warranty, but price is a factor. Does anyone have any info or experience with this? Also - I live in California - is it a "green" state where my 100K hybrid warrarnty will be be extended to 150K miles by law, as someone mentioned in a previous post?
I am considering buying a
I am considering buying a Toyota Highlander Hybrid. With other vehicles I have owned, I have traded them in within 4-5 years and approximatel 80K miles. I am curious about what the resale market might look like then. I am feeling that I would like the extended waranty for the peace of mind it brings with new technology. I very much like my present Highlander and I assume I would like the newer one even more with the additional new features.
Any thoughts?

It's been said so often in the past few days that it's nearly a cliche. Nonetheless, there is some truth in labeling Murrieta the current center of the nation's immigration debate.
Primarily that label comes after anti-immigration protestors prevented Border Patrol officers from depositing a group of several dozen immigrant families at a facility on the dusty southwestern edge of the Riverside County boomtown.
Hoping to stop a second Border Patrol attempt, the protestors camped out. Soon they were joined there by a group of folks representing the other side.
In the unforgiving summer heat, tempers flared. Names were called. Streets were blocked off. Arrests were made.
At the heart of the debate is the fate of hundreds of children from Central America. These kids are streaming across the border from Texas to California seeking sanctuary from whatever horrors are being perpetrated in Guatemala, El Salvador and Honduras by dope dealers, child rapists, murderers and well-armed militias.
They know there's freedom here — libertad.
You can remember north-south streets and avenues in the older part of Murrieta by knowing the names of the early presidents who fought for liberty in the face of tyranny.
Start with Washington Street and work your way through Adams, Jefferson, Madison and Monroe. Names that doubtless inspired the protestors.
On Sunday afternoon I made my way toward town traveling north from Temecula on Jefferson Avenue before turning east on Guava Street.
I parked in the weeds and gravel, just off Madison Avenue.
A group of about a dozen men and women draped in various shades of the American flag stared at me. I drive a black Crown Vic. Even though I was wearing khaki shorts and a golf shirt, I'm sure they figured me for a cop or a federal agent.
I listened as one elderly gentleman debated immigration policy with a sandal-wearing, pony-tailed opponent. They stood in the shade of a eucalyptus. It was amicable.
Across the way, a flat weed-strewn lot straddled the corner. Madison Avenue was barricaded. A cop sat in her car with the air-conditioning running.
The earth-toned and fortress-like INS building, about a block away, towered over the TV trucks and reporters gathered in the middle of the street near the police command post. I walked up, realized it was too hot to stick around and made my way back to my air-conditioned car for the ride home.
As I shuffled through the dust and sweated in the oppressive heat, another of the protestors began to talk about liberty and surveillance. He said there were drones taking their pictures. He was sure the FBI was putting together a dossier on all of them. He supposed they'd be at his house asking questions.
I kept thinking, "What is the face of the America that will greet these kids?"
They don't know about drones. They just want to eat and feel some measure of safety.
Do we protect them?
Or do we "send them back with birth control" as one protestor's sign angrily suggested?
No doubt the heat of Southwest Riverside County fuels some of the madness. But, it was a weird way to celebrate Independence Day.
Personally I think the words of "New Colossus" engraved on one of the great symbols of this nation — the Statue of Liberty — should guide our thinking:
"Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"
The protestors thinned out and the barricades came down Monday. Perhaps the "Don't Tread on Me" crowd has forced the government to rethink immigration policy. Given the Obama Administration's outright lack of transparency, it's doubtful, but who knows?
In the meantime, the folks on Madison Avenue would do well to heed words of George Washington: "Whereas by an intermixture with our people (immigrants) or their descendants, get assimilated to our customs, measures and laws: in a word, we soon become one people."
I think we can all agree that's a better alternative than turning out a bunch of future Scarfaces.

I am using Samsung NP300E5Z-S01AE Notebook and it has a NVIDIA® GeForce® GT 520MX Graphics, Optimus™ technology graphics card in it.
Please anyone tell me what's the way to install the drivers for the device on Ubuntu 13.10 (32-bit).
I have already researched on the internet but the installation guides everywhere say the same thing which is quiet hard for me to understand.
It says, that I have first to stop the X server and etc etc..., but when I try that I end up installing Ubuntu 13.10 again, because it just don't give me anything at all after doing that.
I was thinking, if someone can give some easy to understand step by step guide how to install it.... it would be really helpful for me.

Public Engagement & Placemaking
Faculty in the Public Engagement and Placemaking specialization conduct studies on the role of urban design, public art and citizen participation in the enhancement of a sense of community. Representative activities include designing to create, sustainable and more appealing neighborhoods, understanding and analyzing how citizens and their local school systems can work to stabilize, understand and enhance their neighborhoods and the role of public processes, public art, and public interest design in the planning for a community's future. Students and faculty in this specialization come from the fields of architecture, urban planning, sociology, and art.
Built Environment and the Experience of Place
Architecture Professor Ronit Eisenbach employs design to generate discourse about the built environment. Through a practice that includes teaching, curating, exhibition design and the construction of temporary site-specific environments, she explores how the perception of subjective, invisible and ephemeral objects affects understanding and experience of place. An interest in thinking through making and refining perception has led her to develop a series of situation-based, design-build studios that frame elements of architecture such as light, color, space and shadow in conversation with human movement. At the University of Maryland she chairs the Kibel Gallery, and in 2009 Eisenbach published a book titled Installations by Architects: Experiments in Building and Design (Princeton Architectural Press), co-authored with Dr. Sarah Bonnemaison.
Engaging Working Class Immigrant Neighborhoods in Suburban Maryland
Planning Professor William Hanna (1931-2015) was a strong believer in the learning power of active involvement in planning, combining university education, scholarly research, and community activism. Much of his work focuses on the majority- immigrant neighborhood of Langley Park, MD located immediately West of College Park. Hanna served as the director of Action Langley Park, a nonprofit organization of residents, businesspeople, workers, social service personnel, and other members of the community. The group co-sponsors health and other community events, publishes the biweekly Barrio de Langley Park newsletter, and advocates for positive public sector action pertaining to immigrant welfare. Hanna completed a book-length report on the marginalization of working class immigrant neighborhoods.
Engaging Community Through Public Art and Design
Using public art and design, the University of Maryland art and architecture students have engaged in a dialogue with the Long Branch community about their neighborhood. Under guidance of Architecture Professor Ronit Eisenbach and Department of Art Professor John Ruppert, ten temporary site-specific sculptures was displayed at the Long Branch Library and along Flower Avenue from May 6-20, 2013.
Trespassers?: Asian Americans and the Battle for Suburbia.
Planning Professor Willow Lung-Amam wrote a book entitled, Trespassers?: Asian Americans and the Battle for Suburbia. The book investigates how recent trends in high tech Asian immigration are reshaping suburban form, geographies of race, and politics of development in Silicon Valley. In an in-depth case study of one Silicon Valley community, the book investigates the history of Asian immigration in the region and three spaces that mark their influence on its built form and politics—Mansions, high-performing schools, and Asian malls. Professor Lung-Amam argues that these spaces highlight new uses and spaces of everyday life and meaning among Asian immigrant suburbanites. But they also show how landscapes, even those occupied by minorities of means, are "minoritized"—the subjects of cultural critique, social contest, and new forms of regulation. The book exposes the ways in which white, middle-class norms, meanings, and values continue to be reinforced through planning policy and processes, as well as the design of the suburban built environment. It shows that the built environment is also a critical arena for an emergent politics over a "right to difference" in suburbia, as Asian immigrants as well as other minority groups are no longer simply fighting for access to suburban space, but for their right to different ways of being suburban and its expression in their everyday landscapes.
Mosques, Temples, and Churches: Asian Immigrant Placemaking and Politics in Silicon Valley Suburbia
This research looks at the ways in which Asian faith institutions (including mosques, Hindu, Sikh, and Buddhist temples, and Asian Christian churches) are reshaping the form, use, and function of Silicon Valley suburbia's landscape as well as the planning and neighborhood politics behind their development. Through in-depth interviews with various faith leaders and community members, ethnographic data obtained from participation at events at several institutions, and archival data, including planning, design, and development documents, newspaper articles, and institutional marketing and informational literature, this research proposes to show that faith institutions have often been at the center of debates over the changing racial and ethnic composition of Silicon Valley communities, while also serving as critical social and political institutions for many Asian immigrants. The research highlights how these institutions service the needs of Asian immigrants in ways that go well beyond their roles as places of worship. They host to a range of social, community, political, and cultural functions that reinforce the common cultural practices, meanings, values, and identities of Asian immigrant suburbanites. But it also shows these spaces as contested grounds as local neighbors and planners negotiate the design and uses of these spaces in a rapidly diversifying region.
Immigration and the Changing Politics of Place in the New South
This project, conducted by Planning Professor Willow Lung-Amam, is a case study of the Chapel Hill school district as it was in the process of redrawing its attendance boundaries for, among other things, enrolling students in a newly re-opened historically African American school. The reopening of this school was an important moment for African Americans in Chapel Hill, particularly those who lived in the Northside neighborhood, whose children had been bussed out of the neighborhood for decades to balance enrollment at predominantly white schools throughout the area. In the debate that ensued, the loudest voice of opposition somewhat surprisingly came from recent Asian immigrants who clustered in a neighborhood slated to be redistricted to the new Northside Elementary School.
The research raises questions how the politics of race and immigration factored into the debates about the new school and its attendance boundaries. Using in-depth interviews with affected residents and school officials as well as archival research on district-wide public debates, newspaper accounts, and literature from the organizing efforts to oppose the new school's attendance boundaries, the project follows the debate from its origins to its resolution. The research proposes to show how its central concerns fit into a larger framework of changing demographics of the New South, and particularly how these demographics shifts are raising new questions about the presumptions behind educational policies that were and still remain prefaced on a black-white paradigm. Instead this research suggests a new politics of race and education in the South, which complicates the ways in which school policy understands and address issues of diversity and equity in a rapidly diversifying region.
The Paper Streets—Takoma Park, Maryland
The Paper Streets—Takoma Park, Maryland project brings together faculty members from the School of Architecture, Historic Preservation, and Urban Planning and College of Agriculture and Natural Resources' Department of Plant Science and Landscape Architecture to investigate the phenomenon of roads that were planned but never built. The project is funded by a University of Maryland Advance Seed Grant and focuses on using the task of uncovering paper streets and designing strategies for their future in the city of Takoma Park as an opportunity to create a critical framework for "paper streets" as a design typology within the fields of architecture and landscape architecture. This project also seeks to design a process by which city planners, not just in Takoma Park but also in cities nationwide, can engage their communities and develop their paper streets.
Current Project Status:
Jana VanderGoot, RA and Dr. Kelly Cook have completed the Phase 1 field survey of Paper Streets in Takoma Park, Maryland from 2014-2015. They spent part of the summer doing in situ field investigation and putting together findings from local archives that historically investigate possible sites of paper streets and their historical uses. They finalized their research by examining parcel maps available from Montgomery County, completing a series of drawings that examine the watershed and the development of the streets, and writing a paper that contextualizes the paper streets within city developments of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The project is currently in Phase 2, with design strategies for developing the paper streets as an urban amenity through theaddition of lighting, seating, bicycle storage, and covered places for rest. Design work will focus on the creation of architectural space that is immediately recognizable as a safe, public amenity.

CHICAGO, Ill. (July 14, 2012) – The Chicago Fire (9-6-4; 31 points) used an early free kick from Pavel Pardo before a 10-man defensive effort earned the team a 1-0 victory over the Vancouver Whitecaps FC (8-6-6; 30 points) Saturday night at Toyota Park.
The Fire threatened early on as Brazilian midfielder Alex played a combo to send Gonzalo Segares up the left flank. The Costa Rican international took the space and looped in a cross for Chris Rolfe who hit his first-time effort wide left of goal in the fourth minute.
Moments later Fire midfielder Patrick Nyarko continued the dangerous attacking play he's shown all season as he slid through the Vancouver defense before drawing a ninth minute foul just outside the box by Jun Marques Davidson. On the ensuing free kick a minute later, Pavel Pardo stepped up and lofted a perfect right-footed ball over the Whitecaps backline and inside the left post to give the hosts a 1-0 lead.
The Fire nearly made it 2-0 in the 23rd minute as Dominic Oduro forced a turnover at midfield. The bouncing ball fell to Chris Rolfe who slid his ball through two Whitecaps FC defenders to put Oduro into the box but the Ghanaians effort was thwarted by a charging Joe Cannon.
Vancouver would find their first good attempt on goal in the 28th minute when Gershon Koffie played a ball into stride for lone striker Darren Mattocks but his shot just outside the area was well held by Sean Johnson.
Making his first MLS start since joining the Fire last month, Alex would show some flair five minutes later. Pardo headed down a bouncing ball in the center circle and the Brazilian midfielder ran through the middle of the park unchallenged before unleashing a dipping drive that cut just wide left of Cannon's goal in the 34th minute.
Alex would be shown a yellow card in the 41st minute for a foul on Whitecaps midfielder Gershon Koffie 35 yards from goal, resulting in a dangerous free kick opportunity for the visitors. Vancouver midfielder Barry Robson stepped up and whistled his effort just over Johnson's goal, taking the Fire into the half ahead 1-0.
The visitors showed a desire for more offense by subbing on newly acquired attacker Dane Richards at the break and came close just four minutes into the second half when Koffie fought off challenges to slip Mattocks into the box but his low effort was punched away by Johnson in the 49th minute.
In the 52nd minute the Ghanaian tandem of Nyarko and Oduro would combine to work the ball up the right before Nyarko centered for his countryman who's shot went high over the bar.
The Fire thought they'd found their second goal just a minute later when Alex distributed the ball to Rolfe on the left side. The veteran attacker cut inside the box and threaded his shot between two defenders where Dominic Oduro knocked it down before hitting it to the back of the net but the Ghanaian was quickly ruled to be offside leaving things at 1-0.
Frank Klopas' side kept pushing, utilizing Alex as the catalyst. The Brazilian midfielder would test the Whitecaps FC backline again in the 55th minute when he received Logan Pause's pass, turned his defender and unleashed a blistering low effort that the veteran Cannon did well to hang onto.
Just as it looked like the Fire would find a second goal, the match would turn on its head beginning in the 67th minute when Fire defender Arne Friedrich was shown a yellow card for a late challenge on Mattocks at midfield
Two minutes later, the speedy Jamaican forward ran on to a through ball between Friedrich and Fire center back Austin Berry before going down just yards outside the penalty area. Referee Jose Carlos Rivero took little time to shown the German defender his second yellow in as many minutes, resulting in his sending off from the match.
It took the Whitecaps FC a while to key in on the man advantage but the visitors would come closest to equalizing in the 87th minute. Working his way up the right, Young-Pyo Lee belted in a whipping cross that substitute striker Eric Hassli redirected towards goal, forcing Johnson to tip the ball out for a corner kick.
A series of corner kicks went without a goal and the Fire did well to hold possession at the other end of the field before Rivero blew the final whistle, giving the Men in Red a hard-earned 1-0 victory.
The Fire travel to take on the New York Red Bulls on Wednesday, July 18 at 12:00 p.m. CT live on CSN Chicago and 97.5 FM ESPN Deportes. The Men in Red will return home for an international friendly with Aston Villa Presented by TrueCar at Toyota Park on Saturday, July 21 at 7:30 p.m. CT. Advance tickets are available by calling 888-MLS-Fire, by visiting www.Chicago-Fire.com or Ticketmaster. The international friendly will serve as Bonus Game 1 in the Fire's Season Ticket Package, and is also a part of the Ten Game Plan.
With the win, the Fire move to 9-6-4 (31 points) on the 2012 campaign. Only four MLS teams (Sporting KC, D.C. United, San Jose Earthquakes and Real Salt Lake) have more than nine wins on the season.
Frank Klopas' side improves its home record to 6-2-2 this season.
The victory ties the Fire equals the club's MLS regular season win total from each of the past two years just 19 matches into the season.
Pavel Pardo's 10th minute goal was his second in a Fire shirt and first since his 54th minute equalizer in a 1-1 draw vs. Philadelphia on August 3, 2011 at Toyota Park.
Sean Johnson made four saves to tally his fourth shutout of the season and 14th of his MLS career.
With his red card, Arne Friedrich will serve a one-match suspension during the team's game Wednesday, July 18 at New York.
Marco Pappa sat out the match after suffering from an upper respiratory infection during the week.

RAYMOND WEIL, a swiss watchmaker true to its values
The Swiss family firm RAYMOND WEIL, founded in Geneva in 1976, enjoys a special position in the exclusive world of luxury watchmaking.
RAYMOND WEIL stands out for its dynamism and pioneering character, striving constantly to create timepieces, which reflect the Brand's values of independence, creativity and watchmaking savoir-faire – at attractive prices.
RAYMOND WEIL is present across the globe and has enjoyed spectacular and constant growth in every market. Under the leadership of Olivier Bernheim, President and CEO – latterly joined by his two sons Elie (Marketing Director) and Pierre (Sales Director), both grandsons of company founder Mr Raymond Weil – the firm has continued to expand and innovate in the fields of product research and development, marketing and communication. Our own subsidiaries have been recently established in the USA, India and Canada. The Geneva watchmaker has also expanded into markets like China, mindful of the economic potential and the Brand's strong local reputation.
The strategy adopted in recent years has assuredly contributed to RAYMOND WEIL's impact on the watchmaking world. Key factors in the firm's success include the constant renewal of its product range, with the introduction of new, increasingly sophisticated mechanical timepieces, strengthening collections at the lower end of the price-range, a wider-reaching communications strategy and the launch of the RW Club (the first club to be set up by a luxury watchmaking brand). 2010 will be a decisive year for RAYMOND WEIL. The aim is to focus, nationally and internationally, on the Brand's heritage within the luxury watchmaking industry, by making its image even more attractive. This will reinforce the RAYMOND WEIL Genève uniqueness by developing new models that respond to a demand for high quality and reflect the Brand's evolution and creativity, and by reinforcing the distribution policy, whose goal is to increase Brand presence and visibility, and finally by offering beautiful timepieces at attractive prices.
The Brand's new approach in 2010 reflects the modern innovative design and the aggressive price positioning of RAYMOND WEIL and clearly demonstrates the family's understanding of its clients' expectations in the current economic climate.
Men's watches confirm RAYMOND WEIL's reputation as a brand that dares to combine originality and technical proficiency.
20 years after its official launch, the iconic Parsifal collection was recreated for Baselworld 2010! This collection once again shows a deep attachment to the Brand's roots and its desire to preserve tradition as a source of inspiration – while, at the same time, refining the key design elements, which have forged the powerful identity of this symbolic collection.
The nabucco range, renowned for its stylish design, now boasts a new addition in titanium: nabucco Va, Pensiero. This new timepiece's mature elegance, retaining all of the collection's powerful architecture showcased in grey-grained graphite, remains true to the collection's creative values and mythical forms.
Tradition, the automatic collection, also plays a significant role in the RAYMOND WEIL men's global range. With its timeless look, classical automatic watch amateurs will be seduced by the refined and elegantly simple design of this collection.
Ladies' collections like the shine and noemia jewellery watches, and the freelancer mechanical timepieces, occupy a major place in the Brand's international range. With its dial fitting snugly between the delicate curves of its diamond-spangled case, the Brand's latest female collection – the aesthetically harmonious noemia – is sensuality incarnate… while subtly alluding to RAYMOND WEIL's family values.
Baselworld 2010 saw RAYMOND WEIL add a zest of panache to its ladies' watch collection with the freelancer summertime – an ultra-stylish mechanical timepiece, blending audacity, modernity and refinement in a range of citrus tones and natural colors.
'INDEPENDENCE is a state of mind.' The Geneva firm's motto offers a clear indication of why RAYMOND WEIL stands out amongst luxury watchmakers as an audacious, youthful, dynamic, innovative brand, which has successfully adapted to developments in its field – and adopted the innovations needed to remain a market-leader. 'INDEPENDENCE is a state of mind' embodies the approach of both the firm and the people behind its success – and pays tribute to the patrimony and heritage of a family, whose leitmotif is independence.
As reflected in the names of its collections (Wagner's Parsifal, Verdi's Nabucco, Mozart's Don Giovanni, etc.), RAYMOND WEIL has been involved in the world of art and culture since it was founded. The Brand has long enjoyed close links with the world of music, designing unique timepieces for international artists and partnering prominent musical events.
As an active patron of the arts, RAYMOND WEIL is also closely involved in promoting young talent – notably through the RAYMOND WEIL International Photography Prize. This is already considered one of the world's leading photography competitions – not just because of the awards on offer, or the famous partners the Brand has attracted (Aperture, Paris Photo, Artforum, etc.), but also because the prize perfectly symbolizes RAYMOND WEIL's desire to provide long-term support to young artists.
Mr. Raymond Weil founded the brand during a period of crisis for the watchmaking industry. His goal was to produce watches with a new concept and design. Independence, savoir-faire, aesthetics, creativity embodied the Brand's founding values.
Olivier Bernheim, Raymond Weil's son-in-law, joined the family company and became President and CEO in 1996.
Launch of the emblematic men's and ladies' Parsifal collection. With its blend of complications, noble materials and innovative design, the collection saw RAYMOND WEIL assert its credentials within the Swiss watchmaking industry.
Creation of a research and development department to help RAYMOND WEIL enjoy full control of the watch-design process. By embracing the latest technological innovations, R&D played a major role in RAYMOND WEIL's innovations – such as the development of the complication for the GMT function of the famous don giovanni così grande two time zones and the patented, quick and easy interchangeable bracelet system for the ladies' shine collection.
Elie and Pierre Bernheim, RAYMOND WEIL's 3rd generation, joined the company, ensuring family continuity and guaranteeing stability in the eyes of the Brand's partners.
Launch of the ladies' shine collection. The different facets of shine made this watch jewel a must. With its strong, glamorous and audacious personality, shine was perfectly attuned to the rhythm of modern women.
Creation of the RW Club. The RW Club provided an exclusive, unique and personalized service for RAYMOND WEIL clients and connoisseurs of fine watches, culture, art and music.
In 2007, two star collections of RAYMOND WEIL were launched: nabucco and freelancer. The first was a men's mechanical collection, featuring an imposing 46mm case, water-resistant to a depth of 200m and integrating a high-tech material: carbon-fiber. The freelancer collection, on the other hand, was a mechanical range dedicated to both men and women. With its audacious blend of technical and modern, refined style and contemporary colors, freelancer was totally in line with the great Swiss watchmaking tradition.
During the launch of both collections, RAYMOND WEIL's new motto 'INDEPENDENCE is a state of mind' was unveiled, strengthening the Brand's positioning as an independent, family-owned company and representing the dynamic impact of the third generation.
RAYMOND WEIL's new Ladies' collection, noemia, was unveiled at Baselworld 2009. Full of sensuality and elegance, this new range seduced the women of the day, thanks to its sophisticated design and sparkling diamonds.
Fourth edition of the RW Club International Photography Prize, which swiftly became one of the most important international photography competitions over recent years.
20 years after its official launch, the iconic Parsifal collection was recreated for BASELWORLD 2010! Parsifal once again shows RAYMOND WEIL's deep attachment to its roots and its desire to preserve tradition as a source of inspiration – while, at the same time, refining the key design elements, which have forged the powerful identity of this symbolic collection.

Few days back I attended a training given by Alexis Abril. It changed my thoughts about the JavaScript. Earlier my thought on JavaScript was "JavaScript is a scripting language just to manipulate HTML DOM elements mainly".But after going through in-depth knowledge of JavaScript,I became a fan of JavaScript. It is not only document.getElementById , but it is a real programming language. Its prototype nature is really awesome. No doubts there are some flaws in the language but I think every language contains them. Context,prototype,functions are some of the remarkable features of this language.Moreover Javascript also possesses Object oriented nature but in a slight different manner. Libraries like JQuery,Dojo etc has further extended the capabilities of this language. I would recommend every web developer especially UI developers to learn this language in-depth. Few of the books I am following on the recommendation of Alexis Abril are JavaScript: The Definitive Guide 6th Edition and JavaScript: The Good Parts 1st Edition.. I would recommend readers to get the sixth edition of Definitive Guide because it includes HTML5 also. Second book is written by great Douglas Crockford and includes some advance JavaScript philosophies..

On Saturday, March 30, at 2 p.m., the Bristol Garden Club, Bristol Historical Society, and the Bristol Public Library will present "Beatrix Farrand, Rediscovered: A Dramatic Presentation of the Life, Times, and Gardens of America's First Female Landscape Architect and Gardener to the Stars of the Early 20th Century." This free event will take place in meeting room 1 on the lower level of the Main Library. No registration is necessary.
In addition to being America's first female architect, Beatrix Farrand
(1872-1959) was a founding member of the American Society of Landscape Architects. She was the niece and a great friend of famed author Edith Wharton. Though overlooked for decades, Farrand's work is being rediscovered. Many of her gardens, such as Bellefield in Hyde Park, N.Y.; Hill-Stead in Farmington, and Garland Farm in Bar Harbor, Maine, have been restored. This talk is a dramatic, 45-minute, first person presentation, in costume, backed by a slide show of the distinguished landscape gardener's creations.
Colleen Plimpton spent 30 years in her first career as a clinical social worker with the chronically mentally ill. Her second career is that of professional garden communicator. She trained at the New YorkBotanical Garden and has tended her sloping Connecticut acre for 20 years. She's appeared on numerous TV and radio programs including CBS, ABC, Good Morning America and PBS; she pens a prize-winning newspaper column for Hearst Media Group; coaches gardening; has taught at the New YorkBotanical Garden; lectures widely; and writes for publications such as GreenPrints, Connecticut Gardener, and Toastmaster. Colleen's multi-honored garden memoir, Mentors in the Garden of Life was a Finalist for the 2011 Connecticut Book of the Year in the Memoir category. Her new book, Growing a Movement: How a Small Group of Determined Women Changed Horticultural History will be available in 2013.
Located at the intersection of High and Main streets in downtown Bristol, the Main Library's address is 5 High St., Bristol.

Examples of common false beliefs in mathematics.
Hopefully this is not overly controversial, but I thought it would be instructive to compile a list of errors which are commonly (or at least not too uncommonly) made in higher level mathematical research and published mathematical works (i.e. research papers, books, etc). If nothing else this could serve as a warning to the rest of us.
Here I would like to keep the focus on mathematical errors, oversights, or misunderstandings, and not those which are related to typographical, grammatical, or purely historical issues. To start the list and to give some idea what types of errors I am thinking of, here are a few examples:
1. Confusing the finite field $\mathbb{F}_{p^k}$ for $k>1$ with the ring $\mathbb{Z}/p^k\mathbb{Z}$.
2. Assuming that every open set in $\mathbb{Q}_p$ is also closed (true for balls but not in general).
3. Assuming that the hypothesis in a conditional statement is a necessary condition, just because a weaker hypothesis does not necessarily imply the conclusion.
One remark, since this is intended solely for our own edification, it is probably better to avoid mentioning specific references, for the obvious reason.
Also, if anyone can think of better tags for this question please go ahead.
