Dublin Jack Irish Pub Hong Kong Reviews
70 reviews
Hong Kong's Irish Attempt Jan 18, 2011
An Irish pub (as the name suggests) located in Lan Kwai Fong, right next to the Japanese resturant. Quite a nice atmosphere and seemingly popular with business types, the interior is much like a British pub and, in spite of the popularity, the booths allow you a bit of your own space.
The food is reasonable but overpriced, as everything in LKF is. The pies are particularly good value however. Not much in the way of beers, only 4 drafts to choose from and predictably two are Guiness and Kilkenny. I wouldn't say it has a better or worse selection of food or drink than anywhere else though and it was the layout I liked the most. Sad as it sounds, it reminded us of home!

Over the last few years, solid state drives have overtaken mechanical hard drives as the default choice for operating system volumes. Their super-fast data transfer speeds greatly accelerate boot up and shutdown times, allow apps to open more quickly and, of course, support rapid file and folder transfers.
While the price of solid state drives (SSDs) is dropping rapidly, wind the clock back and that wasn't necessarily the case. The first PCs I upgraded with solid state storage used a 60 GB drive that cost a couple of hundred dollars. Alongside those 2.5″ SATA-connected SSDs, I have PCs on the test bench that use quite low capacity mSATA and M.2 modules. They're still working really well, but I could really do with upgrading them with higher capacity drives.
Of course, I could simply start from scratch. Install the drive into the PC, install a clean copy of Windows, spend a couple of hours installing drivers, apps and configuring the PC with my preferred settings, then copy my data over from the old drive. There's a day I'll never get back!
The smarter approach is to clone the existing SSD (using a special software application), write an exact copy of the entire drive to a new, higher capacity drive then simply swap out the storage. Job done in less than an hour.
Let's talk through what's required.
Tools for the Job
In this walkthrough, I'll be replacing an old 250 GB mSATA storage module that I have installed in an Intel NUC mini PC. I love these little PCs to death and have a few of them scattered around the home. This particular NUC is working well on the test bench, but I am now regularly hitting storage capacity warnings. It also provides an interesting challenge as far as upgrades are concerned as I'll need to find a way of connecting old and new mSATA modules during the cloning process. More on that shortly.
With regard to storage, I won't be going crazy on capacity. I've selected the Samsung 850 EVO mSATA internal SSD for the job. It offers twice the capacity than the old module – a 240 GB Crucial M500 module – and at around $160 doesn't break the bank in terms of cost. As an additional bonus, the 850 EVO also offers faster write speeds than the Crucial module – 520 MB/s vs 250 MB/s – so this looks to be a valuable upgrade.
In the image below, you can see the existing Crucial mSATA storage module as currently fitted in the NUC.
Obviously, if we wish to connect the two storage modules to the same PC simultaneously, we'll need some kind of adapter for the new storage module. Here the trusty USB 3.0 port will come in very handy. In the past, the USB interface was too slow for this kind of job, so we'd have been looking for some kind of complicated mSATA to SATA configuration.
However, newer USB standards such as USB 3.0 (or rather, USB 3.1 Rev 1 to give it its proper name) can transfer data at 5 Gbps – not much slower than a SATA port. If you have a new PC, it may be equipped with one or more USB 3.1 Rev 2 ports, offering 10 Gbps speeds. Either way, USB is the way to go for this job.
There are a couple of good inexpensive options available that I'd recommend. The ORICO Aluminum mSATA to USB3.1 Type-C/USB-C SSD Enclosure Adapter Case is what I'll be using on this job. It's a metal enclosure that is designed to allow you to use an mSATA module as an external hard drive. You simply plug in the module, connect a USB-C to USB-A cable between the enclosure and your PC and off you go. It's priced at just $13.99.
Alternatively, if you preferred to connect the mSATA module directly to your PC's internals, this $11.49 SYBA 2.5-Inch SATA to mSATA SSD Adapter would fit the bill.
You'd need to connect a SATA and power cable to the adapter, but once the mSATA module was fitted and everything was hooked up, you'd be good to go. However, I think the Orico USB solution is neater.
While we're specifically using an mSATA module in this walkthrough, the same process applies to standard 2.5″ SSDs that are connected to a PC via a SATA cable. If you're seeking to upgrade one of these drives, be sure to check out the Sabrent USB-DSC9 USB 3.0 to SATA/ Hard Drive Converter, which would do the job. It's priced at $22.99.
That takes care of the hardware. You'll also need to source a cloning application that is able to copy the contents of your existing SSD over to your new SSD – a process known as cloning. Long time readers will be aware of operating systems such as Windows Home Server and Windows Server 2016 Essentials that include image based backup and restore features. These are excellent options for those that have already invested in a home or small business server platform, but they're pricey for a one-off job.
Acronis True Image 2017 is perhaps the most famous imaging application that is typically used for this kind of task. It offers full image-based backup and restore features as well as file and folder backup. It's priced from $39.99 for a single PC.
If you're looking for a free solution (or rather, one that you've already paid for) then Windows offers a system image backup and restore feature. It's hidden away and, to be honest, hasn't been updated in some time but importantly, it works and it's free. You'll find the feature in the File History applet of the Control Panel desktop app. Just look at the bottom of the window for the System Image Backup link.
There are also third-party apps which offer free trials or, better still, free editions which can be used to clone your drives. In this walkthrough, we'll be using one of those apps – Macrium Reflect Personal Edition.
Preparing the New Drive
Our first job is to assemble our enclosure and populate it with the new storage module.
The Orico Enclosure Adapter Case is very easy to put together – it even ships with a small mini-screwdriver allowing you to open up the case.
Remove the two screws from one end of the enclosure, take off the side plate and you can slide out the internal board, exposing the mSATA connector.
Now we can open up the Samsung EVO 850 mSATA box and take a look at the module itself.
The mSATA module is keyed asymmetrically so it can only fit into the connector one way. Slide it into the connector at a 45 degree angle.
Now, lightly press the module down (placing a finger on the label or the very edge of the board) and use the screws that ship with the enclosure to hold the module in place.
Reassemble the enclosure and, congratulations, you just built yourself a high-capacity USB thumb drive!
Initializing the SSD
Connect the supplied USB cable to the enclosure and slot the connector into a spare USB port on your PC. You should find that the enclosure hardware is recognised, but it won't be accessible in File Explorer. Before we can use the storage module, it has to be initialized by Windows' Disk Manager.
Open Disk Manager (search for it using the Windows search bar) and you'll immediately be presented with a dialog box asking you to prepare the drive.
The GPT partition style is selected by default, which works fine for us (as we'll be overwriting the drive anyway once we get to the cloning stage).
Click OK and your storage module will be partitioned, ready for formatting.
You'll notice that while the disk has been initialised, Disk Management states that its capacity is Unallocated. Head to File Explorer and you'll see that the drive still remains unlisted. That's because we have yet to format the disk.
Right click on the disk in Disk Management and select New Simple Volume.
Walk through the wizard that pops up. You can accept the defaults to allocate the disk size, drive letter and label.
In a minute or so, your new storage module will be formatted and ready for the next step.
Cloning Your Existing SSD
As mentioned, there are a variety of methods for cloning your existing SSD using an image-based backup. The cheapest method is to use Windows' native System Image Backup, which can be found in the File History applet of your Control Panel (the desktop app, not the modern app).
Click Create a system image and you'll be invited to save a copy of your existing Windows image to a hard drive or network location.
Once saved, you can then swap over the storage modules and use Windows installation media to "recover" your PC using the system image backup. Here, you'll need to boot your PC from a USB drive holding your Windows installation files, select the Repair your computer option, then select the System Image Recovery feature.
It's a little cumbersome, right? Alternatively, use a dedicated application to clone your hard drive and copy it to your new storage module. There are free apps, such as Macrium Reflect which can be used for the task – that's what we'll be using in this walkthrough.
Once you've downloaded and installed the app, you'll be able to get on with the task of cloning your hard drive. Open up the Reflect app and you'll see your installed disks presented.
Click your existing hard drive and select the Clone this disk… option. Note that cloning and imaging are two different processes with different results. Imaging a drive results in a single, large image file being copied to your disk. This is not bootable. Cloning a drive is the way to go – it provides an exact copy of the hard disk contents which is bootable when you swap your existing storage module for the new one.
OK – look carefully at the screenshot above. It's the C: volume that we really need to clone, but its fine that the other partitions come along for the ride too. However, you can see I've deselected partition 4 to the right of the C: volume. The reason for this is that when I clone the drive, I need the spare capacity of the new storage module to sit adjacent to the C: volume. If any other partition sits between the C: volume and the Unallocated space on the module, you won't be able to expand the C: volume to incorporate that new space. It's just the way it works.
So, deselect any partitions to the right of the C: volume and then select your new storage module as the destination drive.
Click Next to continue. You'll be asked if you want to create a cloning schedule but ans this is a one-off, just click Next again then Finish to begin the clone.
Expect the job to take some time – mine took around 40 minutes.
Before you swap out the storage modules, open up Disk Management once again and take a look at your cloned disk. In the screenshot below, Disk 0 is the existing module while Disk 1, with an additional 242 GB storage space available, is the new.
You can now shut down your PC, swap out the storage modules and reboot! But, we're not done just yet! The additional storage capacity we have on the drive is not yet usable. We'll need to expand the C: volume on the new disk to incorporate that Unallocated space.
For this job, I used another free application – EaseUS Partition Master. This provides as easy to understand view of the partitions on your hard disk, along with some handy management tools. The Resize/Move Partition feature allows us to expand the C: volume and gobble up that unused space. Just drag the slider to the right to set the partition size.
Once you're ready to expand, click Apply. Your PC will need to reboot so the partitions can be resized. Leave Partition Master to do its thing and in a short while, your PC will be ready for action.
Open up Disk Management one last time and take a look at your hard disk. Congratulations, you just cloned and expanded your solid state drive!

Wish they all could be California girls, well, sort of…
The Beach Boys actually meant Southern California girls. After all, these are SoCal boys singing. Also, listen to the different harmony in this early practice session, such as the harmonic triplets on the words "wear" and "right."

My name is Stefanie Schötz and I have been living and working in tourism on Zanzibar since 2000. I grew up in the Netherlands and went to school in Germany, where my father is from.
When I first came to Zanzibar to take on a management position in a hotel-restaurant, I was fascinated by the wealth of culture and history I found here, and I made it my mission to learn and understand as much as possible about my chosen new home country.
My enthusiastic, well-trained team and I love to share with you the best Zanzibar and Tanzania have to offer – authentic, off the beaten track, and individually tailored just for you!
Very early on I started to study the indigenous herbs and spices and how they are used in traditional beauty treatments.
Consequently, I opened Mrembo Spa, the first spa in Zanzibar that develops all treatments solely from time-honoured Zanzibari beauty recipes, using only the freshest locally sourced ingredients.
I also was a founding member of, and am still involved in, the Mtoni Palace Conservation Project.
To raise funds for the project, we developed the Princess Salme Spice Tour and organized concerts in the palace courtyard. Those were the beginnings of what is Zanzibar Different today.
We specialize in bringing to you a well known island in new ways. You will meet local people who will take pleasure in sharing with you their culture, their skills and their way of life. Most often, you will be invited to experience rather than just watch from a distance, and even to try your hand yourself, if you like.
Through every one of our excursions and activities, revenue goes back to the community.
Our service also includes transfers, hotel bookings, ticketing and event arrangements. We will listen carefully to your wishes and do our utmost to fulfill them.
Enjoy browsing our website and planning your holiday with Zanzibar Different!
We look forward to welcoming you here!
Stefanie & Team


text: baby boomers Do millennials have an image problem? By Stateside Staff • Nov 23, 2015 flickr user Elizabeth Hahn / http://michrad.io/1LXrdJM Listen Listening... / 11:17 Our conversation with John Cheney-Lippold Research seems to suggest that millennials are suffering from a self-image problem, especially when compared with baby boomers and Gen Xers. And considering that millennials – the age group between 18 and 34 – now make up the largest demographic in the United States work force, it's worth trying to understand why they think of themselves the way they do. As Baby Boomers age, how are cities preparing for them? By Stateside Staff • Jun 25, 2014 PublicDomainPictures / pixabay.com Listen Listening... / 8:15 As we watch Baby Boomers swell the ranks of America's senior citizens, how are cities and towns preparing for them? How will Boomers reshape cities and what can cities do to look ahead and plan for what seniors will need? Bradley Winick is the founder of the Planning/Aging consulting firm and adjunct professor of urban planning at the University of Illinois in Chicago. Winick said that while many of the issues that Baby Boomers are facing are the same as issues for previous seniors, one major difference is economic circumstance. For Baby Boomers, the recession challenged the assumption of flexibility. "I think a lot of folks felt that they had this fabulous financial nest egg, which was largely in their home," Winick said. However, when the economy changes and the lending climate changes, your home is only worth how much someone is willing to pay you for it. "I think the impact of that manifests itself in a number of ways in respects to how our communities will look in the future," Winick said. Winick added that when a city is planning for an older population, it's important to make sure the city makes the community livable for all ages but also takes a close look at the availability and accessibility of pharmacies, grocery stores and transportation. *Listen to full interview above. Baby boomers hold the 'key to success' for automakers By Stateside Staff • Jun 12, 2013 Lester Graham / Michigan Radio Listen Listening... / 12:57 An interview with John Wolkonowicz, an independent auto analyst. When you look at much of popular media these days, it often feels as though the advertisers of America are eyeing that young audience. If you're over 55, you could certainly be forgiven for getting the idea that advertisers and agencies don't much care what you want to buy. Well, a new study by the University of Michigan Transportation Research Institute proves that, at least when it comes to buying cars, it's those often overlooked, sometimes-invisible over 55's who are doing much of the buying. The study found the 55-to-64 year old baby-boomers are 15 times more likely to buy a new car or truck than the 18-to-24 year olds. John Wolkonowicz, an independent auto analyst, joined us from Boston today to talk more about why baby boomers seem to hold the key to success for automakers. Listen to the full interview above.

Beautiful, but....
This was beautifully written and very moving, but I had a bit of a problem with this story. Their union seemed almost spiritual, but underlying it was her infidelity, her adultery. She wanted it all - she wanted to keep a husband and family and she also wanted the sexual excitement of a lover far from home. There is a dichotomy here that is bothersome and which weakens the bond she feels for her David. I think that the story would have been elevated to a higher level without the burden of infidelity.by Anonymous12/07/05by Rumple Foreskin12/08/05by cloudy12/09/05by don8765412/09/05by sherlock4012/09/05
Since she obviously doesn't love her husband,
why doesn't she divorce him and move in with the guy that "let's her see god?" Then she can nurse the guy while he suffers through years of pain and hurt from cancer. Maybe that would let her see god more often.
Since this is a fantasy story, I will finish it in my head. The husband, realizing that his wife has been cheating now for several years, divorces her. Her children, upon hearing what she has done to their dad, refuse to speak to her ever again. She moves into her lover's apartment, but discovers that he cannot be faithful to her anymore than she could remain faithful to her now ex-husband. They go from seeing god, to seeing angels, to seeing saints, to seeing other people in a very short while.by davidwatts12/10/05by MnRider12/10/05by Boxlicker10112/13/05

A lot of great music and great groups have come out of Long Beach, but don't discredit the other artists that come out of the city as well. Long Beach is also home to some great comic acts like LB native Jason Collings. When it comes to Jason, you get the feeling that his surroundings had a lot to do with molding him into who his is today and who he will always be. Before Jason headlines the Irvine Improv this Thursday (December 13th) and inspired by the music that came out of the city, we got the chance to take a walk down memory lane to see what comes to his mind when we shout out Five Artists That Feel Ohhh So Long Beach.

5. Domino
Jason Collings: Domino and I went to high school together in Long Beach. He might have been a grade under me, I'm not sure. Domino reminds me that we had talked about doing something together when I produced but then, I opened a martial arts studio and just stopped everything. I wonder where he is now. Really, where is he?
4. Warren G
When I think of Warren G I think of when I first turned 21 and we started going out to clubs. You have to understand that one of these guys could never write a song without mentioning Long Beach. They always did and as Long Beach natives, we fucking loved it! We'd literally look around the clubs like, you're listening to our music now! That's what comes to mind. Hearing that Long Beach in the club and loving the fact that hey, we're from here. This is our shit!
3. Slightly Stoopid
I like Slightly Stoopid but the first time I heard them, I thought they were Sublime. I was like, 'Oh wow I thought Brad was dead!' Then it started getting old. It came to a point when I was like, 'If I hear one more white boy reggae band I'm going to lose my mind. And if I see one more white boy with dreadlocks I am going to strangle him with the dreadlocks.' [Laughs.]
2. Sublime
Yeah, the whole Sublime thing. You have to love them. After they came out there were a bunch of groups that came out and sounded just like them. The kids are now listening to Sublime and I'm like, 'That band was the band that you'd hire for twenty dollars to play at your house party!' Sublime was just a regular house party band when I was in high school.
1. Snoop Dogg
When Snoop Dogg got picked up by Dr. Dre we all thought, 'Hell yeah! Long Beach is on the hip hop map!' I went to high school with Snoop, we're the exact same age. His mom still goes to the church that is right next door to my friend's house. He's a real hometown guy. He made it and he still made sure to keep ties from where he was from. Of course he couldn't still live here because people would be knocking his door down. When you get that certain celebrity status you just have to move you know?
I noticed you are pretty into hip-hop. You kind of light up when you talk about it.
Oh yeah, I even produced it for a while! I had a record deal with PolyGram Island Records as a producer and I produced some hip-hop. One of my biggest claims to fame was that I had a couple songs that I produced in an HBO movie called, "Strapped." I produced the songs when I was nineteen-years-old so that was a long time ago. My brother David and I made a lot of tracks for it. David's my identical twin and he's the best looking guy I know!
Ha. I'm sure! Well thanks for playing along with us. What's up for your show this Thursday at the Irvine Improv?
I talk about race a lot in my act. And I mean, I talk about everybody and I don't hold back. That's another thing I loved about growing up in Long Beach, all of my friends that I've known since I was twelve years old are the most mixed group of people I know. It's like the set up to a joke. You got the white guy, the black guy, the Latino guy, the Asian guy, and you have the Jew. Literally that's my group of friends. The Irvine Improv is one of my favorite clubs because the audiences are so weird down there. Sometimes they laugh short and that's it and then sometimes it's a total blast. Either way I promise you that you'll love my comedy. It should be a fun show.

RCL earnings
up 16%
Revenues were $2.5 billion,down from $2.6 billion in 1998. The slight decline was "due primarily to a 3% decrease in capacity in 1999" as a result of the sale of Song of America and service outages in the first half of the year.
Occupancy as a percentage of total capacity was 102.9% in the fourth quarter and 104.7% for the year.
On a comparable basis, earnings for the fourth quarter of 1999 increased to $.21 per share compared to $.17 per share in 1998. Reported net income for the fourth quarter of 1999 was $38.3 million or $.19 per share, which includes a $3.3 million non-recurring item. Reported net income for the fourth quarter of 1998 was $23.4 million or $0.12 per share, which includes a $9 million non-recurring item. Revenues for the fourth quarter of 1999 were $584.0 million, up from $575.1 million in 1998.
"We are pleased with our earnings growth in 1999, especially in a year of reduced capacity,'' said Richard D. Fain, chairman and chief executive officer. "Continued focus on yield management and cost control have proven effective, enabling us to report record earnings onceagain. We are particularly pleased with the introduction of Voyager of the Seas. We had always anticipated the ship would be a success, and are very happy with the positive press she has received. We look forward to continuing our tradition of product innovation with the delivery of Celebrity's Millennium in June of this year.''
Royal Caribbean's two cruise
brands, Royal Caribbean International and Celebrity Cruises,
currently has a combined fleet of 17 vessels; 10 additional
vessels are on order for delivery through 2004.
Marine drilling reports better utilization in fourth quarter
Offshore drilling contractor Marine Drilling Companies Inc. today reported fourth quarter 1999 net income of $2.5 million, or $0.04 per share, on revenues of $44.8 million, compared to net income of $7.0 million, or $0.13 per share, on revenues of $43.0 million for the fourth quarter of 1998. Average daily revenue for the fourth quarter of 1999 decreased to $33,643 per operating day compared to $39,666 per operating day during the same period in 1998. However, utilization increased to 90% from 78% for the same respective periods.
Marine Drilling has a fleet of 18 offshore rigs located in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico and select international markets. The fleet consists of 16 jackups, one of which is currently configured as an accommodation unit and two deepwater semi-submersibles.
Jan Rask, president and chief executive officer said,"We are encouraged by the recent market improvements in utilization and dayrates, particularly for jack-up rigs in the Gulf of Mexico, where our utilization increased to 100% for the fourth quarter from 86% in the third quarter. We will expand our Gulf of Mexico presence in the second quarter by mobilizing the Marine 201 and the recently acquired Marine 202 to that market.''
For the year ended Dec. 31, 1999, the company had a net loss of $6.1 million, or $0.11 per share on revenues of $115.4 million versus net income of $60.8 million or $1.15 per share on revenues of $228.0 million for the twelve months ended Dec. 31, 1998. Average daily revenue and rig utilization for 1999 decreased to $28,566 per operating day and 69% compared to $43,917 per operating day and 92% for 1998.

Intergraph and Dassault in shipbuilding software alliance
Intergraph Corporation and Dassault Systemes S.A. today announced they intend to form a strategic alliance to provide integrated solutions to the global shipbuilding industries. The companies plan to develop and offer a comprehensive set of shipbuilding applications covering ship engineering, manufacturing, maintenance and life cycle processes within a single, integrated environment. The alliance is aimed at more effectively meeting the end-to-end global requirements of shipbuilders and ship owners.
Intergraph strengths include its data-centric engineering design applications and industry expertise as embodied in its next-generation GSCAD (Global Shipbuilding Computer Aided Design) software. Dassault Systemes strengths include its CATIA shipbuilding applications, DENEB manufacturing and ENOVIA product life solutions as well as its new-generation V5 architecture.
"The Dassault Systemes and Intergraph relationship will build upon each company's complementary strengths and leadership in the marine market,'' said David Stinson, executive vice president, Process & Building Solutions, Intergraph. "We expect the benefits provided to shipbuilders and ship owners alike by Intergraph and Dassault Systemes together will be far greater than either company could provide by itself.''
Dominique Florack, executive vice president R&D, Dassault Systemes, said the two companies "have an incredible opportunity to combine and seamlessly integrate their respective differentiating applications and technologies. This alliance enables us to offer a unique and comprehensive solution to meet customers' 'end-to-end' needs in shipbuilding and operations processes.''
Torben Andersen, chairman, Global Research and Development Company, Inc. (GRAD), a joint venture consortium of major international shipbuilders, said, ``GRAD welcomes the announcement that Dassault Systemes and Intergraph intend to form an alliance to develop a next generation CAD/CAM solution for shipbuilding. This fulfills our hopes that combined strengths of these two excellent companies will provide the best possible results to satisfy the joint GRAD vision of `best practice' for shipbuilding worldwide.''
Based in Hampton, Va., GRAD shares know-how and risk and cooperates with selected technology providers to define requirements and accelerate the availability of next generation solutions for engineering, manufacturing and associated shipbuilding business processes.
Intergraph Process & Building Solutions (www.intergraph.com/pbs) focuses ondata-centric integrated life cycle solutions for the design and information management of ships and plants-with emphasis on linking engineering systems with business systems. A division of Intergraph Corporation, Process & Building Solutions has more than 1,000 employees in 63 countries worldwide.
The division's GSCAD (Global Shipbuilding Computer Aided Design)shipbuilding software , is an integrated approach to ship design, construction and life cycle management. GSCAD design, planning and engineering analysis tools are built on an enterprisewide, integrated infrastructure that accesses real-time information for smart business decisions. GSCAD technology is claimed to yield dramatic reductions in the cost and time to design and build ships. These efficiencies are best achieved through a Smart Product Model, which integrates engineering disciplines to increase productivity and design optimization throughout the ship life cycle.
Dassault Systemes S.A. is a premier global software developer for the CAD/CAM/CAE/PDM II market. Its CATIA, ENOVIA and DENEB solutions support industry-specific business processes to , says Dassault, "help unleash creativity and innovation, reduce development cycle time, improve quality, competitiveness and shareholder value: CATIA supports the digital product definition and simulation, as part of the CATIA portfolio CATIA Digital Plant Solutions are solutions tailored to support the plant industry. DENEB provides solutions to define and simulate digital manufacturing processes and ENOVIA delivers enterprise solutions that manage a comprehensive, collaborative and distributed model of the digital product, processes and resources. The combined integration creates the Digital Product life Pipeline, supporting re-use of corporate knowledge. "
SolidWorks and SmartSolutions, as Dassault Systemes companies, offer respectively 3D design-centric and TeamPDM software solutions based on Windows.
In 1998, Dassault Systemes introduced a new generation application architecture for all its products called "Version 5.'' This architecture is object-oriented and based on components supporting, and anticipating the emergence of new technologies such as CORBA, JAVA, OLE and Web to develop multi-tier and web based applications. ``V5'' is now the basis for the new generation CATIA, DENEB and ENOVIA as well as for partner applications. As such, V5 enables to support customers' e-Product life cycle.

October 23, 2003Another RFA order for Wartsila
Wartsila Corporation has been awarded a contract by the UK Ministry of Defence to supply four diesel generating sets for the Royal Fleet Auxiliary (RFA) vessel "Fort Austin". Ê
The four gensets will each be powered by a Wartsila 8L20 diesel to give an electrical output of 1290 kWe at 900 rpm. The sets will replace the existing outfit of eight smaller, faster-running sets. They will be delivered in January 2004, and installed during the ship's forthcoming refit. Ê
Replacing the gensets will give the "Fort Austin" the benefits of modern machinery, designed and built for greater reliability and reduced maintenance, thereby lowering the overall costs. Ê
The 23,400 tonnes displacement "Fort Austin" was built in 1979 and is propelled by a Sulzer low-speed diesel. It carries ammunition and other stores for replenishing Royal Navy warships at sea. Ê
This is the latest in a series of contracts concerning RN and RFA ships awarded to Wartsila. The RFA vessel "Sir Bedivere" was re-engined in 1996. Newbuildings with Wartsila engines include the RFA fleet oilers "Wave Knight" and "Wave Ruler", the landing platform dock (LPD) vessels HMS "Albion" and HMS "Bulwark", the Bay class of four LSD(A) (landing ships dock auxiliary) vessels and the Type 45 air defense destroyers. HMS "Albion" and "Bulwark" are also equipped with Lips propellers and the Bay class with Lips azimuthing thrusters.

What great finds Cathy. Love the chairs, pretty blue casserole and those gorgeous pashmina's. Your new rug looks lovely to me, but I understand the frustration if you're not happy with it - sorry no suggestions on that one.
Have a great week!
Rose H
Oh, nearly forgot - real shame about your tulips, but I have a suggestion for next year. Bury a few used tea bags sprinkled with eucalyptus or similar smelly essential oil just under the surface close by the bulbs as the flower buds form. It should keep the little blighters away.

WOW more great finds! why in the world would anyone throw away a loved one's photo? I'm happy your'e giving it a good home. How lovely for you to meet Courtney, I did view your rug on her website, I do like the rug pattern, maybe by just changing the color of the tan house it might be more to your liking. There is a lot of detail in that rug! Sorry about your tulips, but glad to hear the Robin escaped unharmed! Happy Hooking, Julie

A few thoughts...are you sure that DEER aren't eating your tulips? I learned years ago that that is why Martha's Vineyard and the Cape has no tulips and only daffodils - because the deer ate them all!! And I love the rug and am quite impressed that you are making one!! And what a steal on the pashminas!!

Like Deane Fitzpatrick would say "just keep on hooking and it will look better. I think that your colors are just beautiful.
I know the feeling of planting hundred of tulips one year and they were about 4 inches high and I was expecting quite a spectacular show but the next morning they they were all chewed up but luckily the buds wern't up yet so they all bloomed. It was the deers.
I have lots of pesky squirrels near our house and I've been putting some sunflower seeds on the ground for them so they will leave my feeders alone but they still steal. This morning my son saw one climbing a tree in front of our house by the river and it stole an egg from the cardinal's nest and ran away with it. I wasn't impressed as this is only the second year that the cardinals have stayed around. JB

Well doesn't that just stink about your tulips. Glad to hear that the Halloween decorations scared the robin away. Just think, you saved a life today.

Once, while visiting my Mom, we headed off for church. All the tulips had just opened..so beautiful. Came home after church and every bloom was gone..looking up the tree we saw the squirrel with a bloom in it's mouth heading for the top of the tree. If I'd had a gun, I would have shot it! They are so destructive. They have even eaten her outdoor furniture! I love the picture you found. Here was someone's Granny, just thrown in a dump? So sad. Glad you saved her! You could put her pic in the window to keep out the birds!

Cathy ~
Those darned squirrels!!! I've had that same problem and I think that the rabbits eat my marigolds.
Love the stained glass window on your porch.
OK. I give. What is a pasymina? Is it what we call a babushka?
That is a beautiful picture of you on Courtney's blog. You are way too hard on yourself. (I'm the same way. We could be bestest of friends!)
Pug hugs :)

I like it when you leave us with a quote. Well what can I say, you know I get a little jealous with your thrift store and dump run. The porch chair is perfect.

- The Summer Porch said...
Jack who? :) I must tell you, you have amazing luck with your thrift store finds! Great eye! The squirrels ate the tulips? That's terrible. I always thought they just went for the bulbs in the fall. I don't blame you for being disappointed. I've tried bloodmeal, a little too late for yours right now.
Hugs Rosemary...XX

- Orange Sink said...
I had that happen here too something ate the tulips! Boy it makes you mad..... we wait so long for them to open!
I think your rug is looking wonderful! I love the way you are hooking the fall leaves in the tree! Maybe hook more in and see if you like it better.
I would have never thought of Halloween Decor to scare the robin..... great idea! Although if passerbys would see it they'd probably think we were crazy! LOL!
Hope you are feeling better now after the bout with the bad flu!

Sounds like a tough day....
Yeah, Squirrels are pests. They will nest in your attic and chew up your wiring and insulation. They will bury walnuts all over your yard and forget where so little trees come up in weird places. I think squirrels are tree rats.
- May 5, 2011 at 12:14 AM
- moosecraft said...
What would we do without google, right? We've been having too many squirrels the last couple of years too... would you believe they ate all my cucumbers from the vine last year? Looks like some comfy cozy chairs you found for your patio! I would have picked them up too! Your rug looks great to me! Maybe put it away for a week and then see what happens?
- May 5, 2011 at 6:12 AM

We don't have a lot of squirrels around here but we do have several different types of flower eating bugs that are troubling :-(
- May 5, 2011 at 6:18 PM
- Kim said...
What a shame. We wait all winter long with the hope of pretty flowers and when you finally get tulips, they are gone before you got to enjoy them! Bad squirrels!!
- May 5, 2011 at 7:15 PM
- Courtney said...
Drat those squirrels! That's happened to me before too. I love all of your finds. You have good luck with finding cool things! I might swap out the tan in the house more of a mustard. I love the trees though. They are perfect.
Hey, I have an interview next Thursday!
- May 6, 2011 at 6:46 AM
- Joanne said...
Sorry about your tulips - mine are still standing thank goodness (yet they are white and I swear they were red when they were planted!) I know nothing about gardening.
I was going to say the same thing as Courtney - a more mustardy color house might be good - and always - if you don't like something - sometimes doing more background and moving on to something else before ripping out might make it work later - you can always come back to it
- May 6, 2011 at 1:24 PM

Love that Yogi Berra quote! The squirrels in my yard love to bury their nuts in my flower pots. Happy Mother's Day!!

Sorry to hear about your tulips. I'm surprised it was squirrels. We are visiting our kids in Boise, and there are a ton of squirrels here and still lots of tulips blooming. (We just went on a walk and saw lots of both.) Hope there are no more robins trying to get in.
Have a nice Mother's Day weekend!
- May 6, 2011 at 6:09 PM
- Grandma Yellow Hair said...
Cathy that is terrible about your tulips. I would of been so disappointed too because watching them grow and then this happens. I learn something everyday I had no idea squirrels eat tulips. I have so many out here they are causing me trouble in the attic.
You really always find the best pieces I really like those chairs myself. lol
Thank you for thinking about me and leaving me such sweet comments. They mean so much to me.
Wish I could do a good post for a change...lol...if this had not been a day off for me don't know what I would of done.
Have a wonderful Mother's Day

Hi, I see a message that starts with "Cannot write to..." after I initiate shutdown, but I can't read the rest of it because the message disappears after a second. My laptop still starts and shuts down as usual, but is this normal? Should I be concerned?
If its abnormal, how can I see the full message and save it to post here for help?
Many thanks in advance. :)

Final lap of our tour de France
We left Bergerac on a lovely sunny morning having made an executive decision to change our route for a more gentle rural N road instead of going further West and having to contend with heavy traffic and more cities.
We had breakfast on the patio in the sun looking over the vineyards and drove North to Perigdeux, It was just gorgeous and we felt we were in true old France, areas that were full of history ,not forgetting the famous cave paintings which we must go back and see.
It was a lovely day and we spotted this treat which we made a swift detour to enjoy along the way as there is so much to choose from I think it needs another visit to do it justice.I would love to explore the city of Perigdeux , there was something unique about it.
We were making good time and went to re visit Saumur which I like a lot and have been to briefly a couple of times. On the outskirts along the Loire are many grand houses and chateau and these amazing places built into the rock which made wonderful wine stores.
I think really we should have stopped then but I had it in mind to go to Angers where we got caught up in rush our traffic jams again !! looking for a bed.
We were lucky Lizzie had found Hotel Camponile had one on the road out , which we spotted and dived off the turning. It turned out to be a good clean motel type place with an attached restaurant and plenty of parking. Just what you need after a really long drive.
Our final night on the road before arriving at Nick and Tick's next day in time to watch the Royal Wedding.
This wonderful " by the mill stream " picture is where we enjoyed a garden party next day ,our last day before catching the Ferry home, what a trip !! thank you for coming along

means, ; with capital . Dheaaant; jireservea,'
and the reputation or ' bavins money to
lend, be wee aoea visited by almost all the
first people in the country.: ) At first the
old lawyer seemed to take a new lease of
life, looking after his gardens and. arm,'
and riding out to pay visit; for he vwas a
handsom old fellow, not muoh above six-,
ty a widower, an! 'mothers bought he
might marry again. ' 'i . . . .'
' put it was too mnea for, htm at last.,
He took too drinking, and played each

.' Now, the lawyer bad a son whom- he
had brought up for. the church, and was at
college long enough; though he never be

his father-. lie used to be -away a good
deal; traveling, until his father,, come into
the property. , Then be returned -with bis
wire; a very nice lady., ,., , . , ' y V r
'.The father and son, whom we all called
the young Squire, did not get along' at all
together they were so different. The old
lawyer waa -loud, noisy, and t hearty; the
young Squire was pale, shy, and silent.
He had not married according to.bittuun
er'a liking, and be did not. push1 himself
forward. 5 He, liedjijt book and hated the
bottle. ...... -.. . . .-.,.
When lawyer Rigors married Kitty Car
ter, the young Squire left the Park and
went abroad, traveling in foreign parts
France, Italy, and such like; for the old
gentleman made them a handsome allow
aaoe. At lonvth the olJ pen If man ; wont
too fast, 'though Kitty took all the care of
him she oould.was taken . aiuk, lingered
for several months, and died. - . .. -
Of course the young' Squire was ., sent
for; it turned out that he had left a . curi
ous will that no out could nndara'and.with
all aorta of directionajbut above all, a great
income and one of his best estates to Kitty
for life, if ehe did not rairry. : Tlk-y say
the look the Squire gave Kitty, when the
will was read, was awful. - And that he
fiung out of the room without noting the
hand-'Kitty,' who was always a - friendly
soul--heId out to him. '
.' Now, wheu the old lawyer died, I will
say there was not a more . beautiful place
in the kingdom. You went up a drive
through the little park, after passing the
lodire-gate. under an avenue 01
f beech and
oak trees- that led straight to the lake fed
by the springs that flowed out in a water
fall and went murmuring along for miles;
stream swarming with trout. On the oth
er side the lake was the Place, a stone
house, standing behind some terraced gar
dens that led down to the water, with rich
pati-colored beds dotting oyer the green
lawns flanked by groves and bright ever
greens. . Behind the house the lawns and
gardens rolled until bounded by plantations
where vistas opened views of the dUtant
hills and the pasture fields of the home
farm. The range of walled gardens were
placed on the warnv eouth aide, quite out
of sight; there the best fruit trees had been
grown ever since the monks made -the
gardens; 7 The old lawyer spent thousands
in build inr graperies and pineries, for he
prided himself on having the best of every
thing. h ..... ,.
' To walk out on autumn evening on
those terraced gardens, all red and gold
and green with flowers, turf, and ever
green, and see the lake where the coots
and wild ducks ' played, and the swans
sailed prondly.'And the many colored trees
of the park.where too pet deer lay or brow-

money, levities ana orooms ana weeaers,
could make it..; Often! was up by day
break to see that gardeners make all ready
for lawyer Rigors to see when he came
irom nis annual Lionaou visit. t
And the house was a fine old place with
suites of rooms; one leading from another,
withooi end, and a great hall and ' a long
gallerywhere the family portraits hung,
and, the lawyer puf up a . billiard-table,
where he and his friends played in wet

heard the will read. - 1 " 1 :: ' '
We bad orders to get all ready to receive
him. : I mind as if it was yesterday, seeing
the big travelling coach, piled with trunks
and imperials, borne up the avenue , and
wind round the lake aa fast as four horses
can trot' The children bad' their 'facet
all out of the windows, wild with delight.
and in a minute after the coaoh stopped at
the hall door, the boya Were out and over
the gardens pulling the fruit, and into the
stables; and then back to the house, and
running races through the corridors! .

expenses were cut dewn, nntij ' at length
the Squire sent for me-r-having laling'it
into his head that I was the steadiest fellow
there and told me that he was not - what
people though', but' Very poor, and that
everything most be made to pay. The
gamekeepers were all la i go, except ; two
woodsmen, and all the fancy gardeners.
The old lawyer had a dozen, one for each
department. ' All tho land that could was
to be let, and the fruit and vegetables sold.
He did not say this at first, but be ' hinted
and I understood him. Do the best you
can, aaya be,' don't ask me for money, and
I shall expect the boose well kept in dairy
and poultry, and the land ia hand to pay a
fair rent,-.;-'.'. ::
.In two years you nevet saw such a ruin!
I verily believe the master's fractious mean
away and died before the worfct: ' After
her death the Squire" went fairly- wild on
saving. i . , ., . , -
, You never saw such a change in a place
in all your life.. , 'The coach-horses were
not sold, but set to plough and cart.- And
many of the fancy beds for flowers, were
sowed with potatoes, -turnips, imngolds,
and such like,. The lawns were let tro lo
grass, and even graced over;'.'' And a for
the park, it was grazed do wn to the bare
roots with stock at so much , a-head. Until
no one would send any more to be starved.
Geese and ducks were jreared ii ,tbe garc
den temples and fed in the basins made for
gold . fiali. y . ) ".':.' . :
Everything wac left to fall , to rack and
ruin,' except just what could. lie turned to
protiVor what at any rate, the mtrster fan
cied to be a profit, ire took ft'nncy". to
me from the first, because yon see I was a
sort of. Jack of all trades,' end di.J not mind
turning my hand to anything. So I grew
from that to be a kind of baliff. .We had
a deal of ' fruit to sell in ' Blexborouah,
which, though not such a big place as it is
now, since these railways were found out,
was begining to be a pret.iy good market.-?
Then there was the buy and the potatoes,
the sheep and the 'pigs, and I managed, al!'.
So, of course, I got to speak to the Squire
pretty often, and t said to him. once, "1
thiuk, Squire, if you're for farming, you'd
do het'er to take a regnlar farm, and let on
sale this place that's planned for pleasure
grounds, and never was meant for profit,"
But, bless you be d never listen to any
common sense, tor X believe lue truth was
he could not bear lo pnt money out of his
pocket, and many and many a time, when
he would n t order a joint ot mear irom tne
butcher's, he'd have a poik, that, what
with one experiment or another,, would
cost him a shilling the pound.
One day be made up his mind to break
up a fine mere of land, to plough. Says I,
"we want some Inrses very bau, squire,
for that stiff clay." - - ;
"Why, Robin," says he my name's
Robin Spudder "haven't you the " four
horses?" ' ; '
"Lord, sir," says I, "they're no good
at all. They may do in the light carta.or
for harrowing, tho' that wasn't what they
were meant for, but. for ploughing, you
see, you want some weight and substance
and it's my belief you'll kill the horses,
and do no good to the laud." ' .'.
The Squire was a mild spoken gentle
man, unless you put his back up;but when
1 saiu tuis, nis eyes unreu uiu
furnace., Says be, "Robin, are you in a
conspiracy to ruin me like the rest? Those
horses cost my father four hundred pounds
and you told me yourself they .would not
fetch twenty pounds a pioce, ana now you
want me to buy morel" -. .
Well, it was n? use saying anythin j.for
I dare-not tell him that be had ruined the
Door bruica with feedina them on. a mess
of Dotatoes and ohaff-sluff, be had learned
out of a French book. ' ; ;
Another time I've known him sooner
than give on order fot a load of coals, make
me cut down two ornamental trees. - ."
, So, you see. we lived on the farm off
vegetables, poultry that did'nt sell, skim
milk, all the cream went for butter; pork,
and such old fat wethers as were not fit
for market. I used to - be sorry for the
poor children, walking among the une fruit
and not allowed to touch so much as an ap
ple, unless it was bruised, and obliged to
be content with dry bread, when we were
makinor pounds and pounds of fine butter;
talking among themselves bow different it
was when their poor Ma was alive.
But they were so young. .that they did
not feelthe ohange muoh, as long as Ihey
could play about; and, of course, when
beir father s back was turnea, tney uuu -the
best of evrything. We servants, out
.of the bouse, did very well; our wages
were regular, and, of course, we had the
best of everything that was sold besides
tbe perquisites. .; ;( "' n 1
I lived in one of the -park lodges; and
made myself and my missis very comforts?
ble with a garden. A cow's grass was part
of my wages; and many a tune the. chil
dren came down from the Hall,; had a bet
ter tea, with ua than they, were allowed 'at
home. The worst of it was; the Squire
was always trying some new-fangled plans,
and never stuck to any bf 'em long enough
to make 'em pay; ' He used to read some-

gave no. milk, apt) the dairy maids stole
the butter or else no one would buy it; and
the cheese, made , on a new plan, from
Holland or Switzerland, or some outlandish
pkee, never turned outright, the Squire,
you see; was quite a bookman; and when
he'd given bis order, and read bis expla
nation, he thought he'd done all that was
necessary. ' ' . . '"
It wasn't my business to make any dif
ficulties' -Mine was a comfoctthle place, '
and so were all the servants and laborers' j
for the muter of that; but we, could uone
of us understand the Squire, .no more
could the neighbors.' For it was said, that '
though the old lawyer had not left him so
much as he expejifl I, still there, was a pret
ty tidy lot; -some, thousands a year, at tho
least, I've heirJ say, beside, tbe house and
