Beer buddies of the world, unite! Dublin is really your place if all of you became friends because of your mutual love for alcohol, especially beer. With the Irish capital full of classic pubs alongside cobbled streets, Dublin still preserves its village-ish charm, in the midst of the greedy modernism of the rest of the world.Must do while here: Hear musical recitals at St. Patrick's Cathedral. Visit the legendary Guinness Storehouse for a couple of beers on the rooftop.Average cost per day per head (excluding flights): Rs. 4,000Best Hotels.Read more about Dublin.

On you day trip to Western Cork, the first stop is the historic port-town of Kinsale. In medieval times, the importance of Kinsale to Ireland's political strategy was such, that the neighboring hamlet of Cork, was described as being 'near to Kinsale' - a stark contrast to today's times, when it's exactly the other way round. Charles Fort - a 13th century star-shaped fort built to protect the port of Kinsale from French & Spanish invaders is the prime attraction. The guided tour by a member of the Office for Public Works is hugely informative & entertaining (the fabled Irish wit, yeah?). Much of Kinsale's decline as an important port is attributed to the sandbar in it's harbor. Cork was identified as a natural alternative and the rest, as they say, is history. Kinsale town is a charming little spec of culture and rural bounty. Schedule your trip to Kinsale on a Wednesday and be blessed by the weekly Farmer's Market, held on every Wednesday, right opposite the Tourist Office in town. There's great food, amazing juices, mouth-watering deserts and some absolutely amazing local life to be experienced in this market - do not miss for anything!

Day 9 (Blarney): We went from Kerry to Dublin back this morning via the Blarney Castle. We explored the castle for about a couple of hours, before returning to Dublin's fair city for our farewells and a quiet dinner at the Church bar in the night.Tips:1) Exchange some € and £ for trains/taxis at the local banks in your home country, but there are plenty of official/unofficial money exchange places all over London and Dublin, that offer a much better exchange rate.2) Get a London underground zone 1 and 2 all day pass (£8) every day that you travel within the city. It's the most economical way to explore the city and is valid even on the buses.3) In Dublin, try to book a tour which has airport drop-off/pick-up service. It'll save you €s for bus/taxi.What businesses did I use?Tour to bath and Stonehenge : The English BusTour of Southern Ireland : Paddywagon toursHotel in Dublin: The Townhouse of DublinAirlines : United (KC to London & Dublin to KC) & Aer Lingus (London to Dublin one-way flight)

My personal booty-call from Sligo was the fabled Yeats Society/Center - a homage paid to the legendary Irish poet William Butler Yeats. Located in the city center, the Yeats Society has regular readings and performances of his work. At a little known village nearby - Drumcliffe, lie the remains of this ridiculously talented man! Sligo is also known for its dainty little pubs, that come to life in the evening with some great trad sessions and overflowing craic!
121 Kms from Limerick
The best part about Killarney National Park, outside of it's abundant natural beauty of course, is the existence of charming horse-drawn buggies! A mode of transport long extinct in most parts of the world, it can be experienced in abundance while exploring the National Park! Dominated primarily by its three lakes - Lough Leane, Muckross Lake & the Upper Lake, the National Park is more than 10000 hectares of pure relentless natural beauty. Reserve at least one whole day to explore at leisure!
229 Kms from Limerick
On a glorious summer's day, we decided to head to Donegal. Co.Donegal is not that far from co. Sligo, so after a short hour we made our way over to Slieve League. Slieve League are some of Europe's highest cliffs standing 601m tall.

60 Years of Topps Baseball Countdown – #36: 2002 Topps
by Drew Pelto, AKA *censored*
2002 is another 2000's year I'm not super excessively familiar with. Again, I was a hockey guy first and foremost through those years. Almost strictly hockey, but still checked out some baseball here and there. Plus, it was my senior year of high school going into my first year of college. And the Indians were dismantling their 90's dynasty. And I was in a bowling league, and traveling a lot. So baseball cards weren't exactly on my mind in a major way.
Which is kind of a shame really. Looking back, I actually like the 2002 set design. The gold borders, while getting repetitive, were done well. The brighter gold color (brighter than 1998, at least) worked pretty well, and was far better than the other six years of colored borders. The curved ribbons for the player name and supporting the team logo work well too. Slight minus points for leaving the player's position off. One thing I like that's a bit overlooked is that the front doesn't just have the Topps name/logo. But in this case says "2002 TOPPS" at the top. It helps when sorting cards by year. Now granted, I have every set design from 1975 to 2008 stuffed into the ol' memory bank, but it's good to have it there because I know I'll forget half of them as I get older. I used to have players' batting averages memorized when I was in first grade. If you named a team and a position, I could tell you who the player was. Now I can't even do that with the Indians.
So the design was done well. The player crop though is another affected by the Bowman Effect. Topps did at least hit the major home run of the year with a Draft Pick card, and thus rookie card, of Joe Mauer. I mentioned in my last article that I don't like the phrase "sure-fire Hall of Famer" because of Strawberry and Mattingly, but Joe Mauer is a sure-fire Hall of Famer at this point in his career. And I'm not saying that to jinx him as an Indians fan. I legitimately like Joe Mauer as a baseball player. I'd love to see where Bill James ranks him among catchers once his career is over. James ranks Yogi Berra first and Johnny Bench second. Frankly, I'd put Bench ahead of Berra but that's just me. Mauer, if he keeps his pace of the first seven seasons of his career, will be a Top Fiver with relative ease. In the guy's "bad" years he still hit .293 and .294!
But aside from Mauer, the 2002 Topps set was lacking in rookies. Aside from Mauer, Jason Bay, Jose Bautista, and Freddy Sanchez were the only decent ones. Thank you, Bowman Effect. Though really, even if the Bowman effect didn't exist, 2002 still wasn't a good year for new players. Eric Hinske and Jason Jennings were the Rookie of the Year winners. Of those who received votes, only Carlos Pena and Austin Kearns could be viewed as anything significant in the present day.
On the plus side, they had a salute to Barry Bonds for hitting a new record of 73 homers. On the negative side, they had a salute to Barry Bonds for hitting 73 likely steroid infused homers. Plus, they magically turned that one card into 73 cards, one for each home run he hit that year. And they all had the exact same photo, like those lame Magic Moments cards from 2000. At least Topps had 718 cards in 2002, unlike the under-500 of 2000.
Topps actually catered to the big-set collector for the first time in a long time in 2002. While the regular base set was "only" 718 cards (with about 50-60 fillers), they created Topps Total, an idea I absolutely love. The Topps Total sets had a lower production value but still looked good. With no glossy coating, it was a good set for autograph collectors. 990 cards, no filler. So you're looking at an average of an eye-popping 33 cards per team. You can fit the entire 25-man roster plus 8 prospects for each team. And sometimes, more than 33. In a few Topps Total releases, at least with football, they had cards with multiple players on them, so you might get a team's entire 40-man roster in the set. And best of all, Topps used the idea in football and hockey too. I'm still trying to get the entire hockey set (440 players) signed. I'm about 75% of the way there.
With 2002's set, we're getting into the sets where the positives outweigh (or at least balance out) the negatives. It mostly gets better from here.

I too was not collecting that year, so my only familiarity with these cards is through scans and photos posted online. I hate the design though. I don't like how it says 2002 TOPPS and has a Topps logo. Pick one. Incorporate the year into the logo like Donruss in the '80s and Upper Deck in the early '90s. I hate the color. I hate all the empty space at the bottom. The only thing I like is the team logo on the ribbon. The Joe Mauer card looks like the only one where the name is easy to read.
Does Mark Prior have a draft pick card?

Residents of the village of Woodland in Teesdale have been bothered lately by something called the Durham Hum, a frequently audible deep background sound for which experts have been able to offer no explanation.
Householders around here can understand their irritation, although there is no mystery to the noise they have been living with for the best part of a year and a half. The Edgbaston Din has provided their daily soundtrack since the first wrecking ball collided with the old pavilion here in January last year as part of the £32m ground redevelopment.
It was particularly irksome yesterday, although, with only a week remaining until the deadline for completion, the buzz of activity is understandable. There were 350 workers on site putting the finishing touches to the four-tier new pavilion which, once every last ladder, bucket and scaffolding tower is removed, will look rather magnificent.
On the field, Warwickshire were striving to put the finishing touches to a fifth win of the season, which will keep them in touch with leaders Durham and Lancashire, despite the eight-point penalty they incurred for a sub-standard pitch last month.
Apart from the first part of the opening day, they have been on top for much of this match against a Somerset side who have shown few consistent signs of living up to their pre-season billing as title favourites. Chris Woakes missed an opportunity to sharpen his batting ahead of England's upcoming one-day matches but Chris Metters and Boyd Rankin stretched Warwickshire's first-innings lead to 186.
Where would Somerset be without Marcus Trescothick? Their captain is in imperious form. Since 8 May, when he hit a one-day 50 against Gloucestershire, the former England opener has amassed 1,138 runs in all cricket, 750 of them in his last seven innings in the Championship, at an average of 125.
How many more might he have added to yesterday's 55 had he not been freakishly out? Ian Westwood, trying to avoid a full-blooded sweep at short leg, somehow managed to trap the ball between his arm and his thigh.
Nick Compton scratched his way to a horrible half-century but James Hildreth perished cheaply and Craig Kieswetter, recalled as England's one-day wicketkeeper, could have chosen a better moment to bag the first pair of his first-class career.

This was among my dads Weymouth papers. I doubt it was the Weymouth but might have been used by him for ideas. If you look close you can see how the cars were ramped by means of a manufactured ramp. I remember seeing some advertising from the company that built these. It wasn't long before exhibitors realized they could just have bulldozers push the soil into ramps.

In my earlier comments I referred to a gentleman as J. Dimambro as my dads partner. I just came across a website mentioning the owners of the Weymouth Drive-In in a law suit. They were Tom DiMaura and James Guarino. I think my father was smart enough to get out before these issues hit the fan. http://www.umich.edu/~drivein/theater_02.html

Here is my teaser from The Shifters of 2040 by Ami Blackwelder (Pages 15-16):
Bullets thudded into the back of the beast, knocking him forward and landing on his chest a couple of feet from Melissa. The bear shifted slowly, resuming his natural form, with black light inside of him. With her back pressed against the wall, her hands shook. The white lab coat had stained with squirted blood from the assistant, and again from the bear when bullets ripped through his fur and body.
Melissa held herself as her shocked stare dropped to her knees, witnessing the spatter of blood all over her clothes. One of the soldiers rushed toward her and extended his hand to help her stand.
When she found her balance, he let her go and resumed his duty. But before she had time to flee the room, another soldier, under command from the colonel, positioned his rifle over the restrained shifter and fired twice, blowing a chunk of the jelly substance onto the floor. He then shot a few times at the shifter hanging against the wall. All the alien lights dimmed permanently to black.
