Hi I have a Joseph Wade violin and I am researching this maker as well. Please call me at 07926614279 if you can, I am really really interested in this violin maker.Curlew wrote:Chris W wrote: Does anybody have any information of a railway branch that ran into New Farnley, Leeds?If you search for New Farnley in Google Earth and look to the left of the result, you can see a curved earthwork marked in the fields heading towards the housing estate.I remember as a kid playing on the embankment and what remained of a track bed behind the housing estate. I also saw a picture in an old local history book that showed a loco passing over Lawns Lane at the other end of the housing estate.Could the railway have been associated with Farnley Fireclay? I have attached a pic from Google Earth to show where I mean. I recognise that I enter the debate on this question somewhat late. However, as someone who spent his childhood and youth in New Farnley in the 1940's and 50's, you may find my contribution of some use.The remains to which you refer are those of a mineral railway track that carried the raw materials, (coal, iron-ore and clay) to the Farnley Iron Company and Fireclay Works during the Industrial Revolution. The Company was founded in 1844 by the four Armitage brothers, sons of Edward Armitage of Farnley Hall.From your siting near to Well Holme Farm, the track curved in a S.W. direction past the brick structures which were air-shafts for underground workings and through the field to the west of Low Moor Side Lane and the site of the now demolished Long Row (originally miners' terraced cottages) to Sowden Pit. This pit was situated to the west of Low Moor Side Lane, close to the junction with Walsh Lane. From Sowden, the railway continued in a S.S.E. direction, crossing Low Moor Side Lane and through the field to the S.W. of Walsh Lane to meet and cross Whitehall Road at a point between what is now the Jewish Cemetery and the adjacent semi-detached houses, (the gateways still remain) Here, the railway headed in a S.E. direction down what is still called the 'wagon line' to a point just before it met the footpath from Wentworth Farm across the fields to Gildersome. Here it forked, with one element heading S. to Farnley Briggs Pit, (A large pit owned by Farnley Iron Co. In 1896, 125 colliers worked here extracting ironstone and manufacturing quality coal). The other section of track continued S.E. to the pits located close to Gelderd Road at St. Bernard's Mills. These were Farnley Simpson Pit, ( another large Farnley Iron Co.-owned pit, employing 96 men in 1896 on the extraction of manufacturing grade coal and ironstone), and Farnley Wood Lift Pit (coal and ironstone). Nearby was Raffles Pit at Beeston Royds and across Gelderd Road, situated close to Rooms Lane was Philadelphia Pit (In 1896 owned by W.Woodhead and Son, Farnley, Leeds, employing 55 men, it produced both household and manufacturing coal).Other pits in the area were:Cud Hill, Moortop, owned by the Farnley Iron Co., employing 87 workers in 1896 and producing manufacturing coal and coking coal.Dixon, Farnley, owned by the Farnley Iron Co. employing 47 in1896 and mining both household coal and manufacturing coal.Ashfield Dayhole,* Farnley, owned by Farnley Iron Co. employed 10 men underground in 1896. Minerals worked: manufacturing coal and fireclay.White's Dayhole,* Farnley, owned by Farnley Iron Co. and employing 113 workers (96 underground) extracting fireclay.*( A dayhole, known colloquially as 't'dayoil' was an adit mine with a horizontal entrance - built into a hillside)Other pits in the area were:Tenter Croft, WortleyWortley Busk.Wortley RoydsAll owned by The Leeds Fireclay Co.Wortley Manor, owned by W. Ingham and Sons, Wortley.Grave Colliery (near Harper Farm, Farnley), owned by W.G. Woodhead and Son, Farnley.Spring Gardens, Drighlington, owned by Fearnley Garforth, Drig.Gildersome Pit, Bradford, owned by W. and J.Towler.Two further pits owned by The Leeds Fireclay Co were in Halifax:Breakneck, Shibden Hall, Halifax.Well Royd, Shibden Hall, Halifax.Returning to your siting close to Well Holme Farm, the railroad tracked N.E. to Barker's Well, where it crossed Lawns Lane and headed due E. before turning S.E. into the Farnley Iron Co. and Fireclay Co. site to a point below Lodge Hill. From here, there appear to have been a complex series of points-systems enabling rail access to almost all the buildings in the yard and even taking trucks within the buildings. In addition there was a link via the Whitehall Road Bridge to main line.As far as I know, none of the mineral railway's road-crossings at Lawns Lane, Low Moor Side Lane or even Whitehall Road were provided with gates to stop road traffic. This sounds highly dangerous by today's standards, but it is important to remember that before 1911, the large majority of vehicles using the roads around New Farnley would be horse-drawn (the maiden run of the first 29-seater Rail-less Electric Car in Britain, travelling from Aire Street in Leeds to Farnley Moor Top did not occur until 1911, continuing to service the route until 1928 when motorbuses were introduced.)At its peak, the Farnley Iron Company and Fireclay Works employed in the region of 2000 workers (miners, ironworkers and furnacemen, brickmakers, glazers and kilnfirers, timber sawyers, blacksmiths, engine drivers etc.)As a village, New Farnley owes its existence to the exploitation of the minerals running beneath it. The hurriedly-built terraced houses of Long Row, Playground, Furnace Row, Forge Row and West End were purpose built (using bricks manufactured at the Fireclay Works) between about 1850-55 to house the Company's workers and their families, many of whom had migrated from the area around the Low Moor Iron Co. at Low Moor, Bradford.In addition to the exploitation of the mineral wealth of the area, we should not forget that it was only through the exploitation of the combined labour of hundreds of New Farnley workers that the Armitage family were able to enjoy their opulent lifestyle. **I am currently researching the lives and works of two New Farnley coalminers, both of whom lived in Long Row and worked for the Farnley Iron Company. They are Joseph Wade, (1843-1904), miner, ironworker and orchestral violinmaker, who lived at 1 Long Row, New Farnley.Rufus Hanson (1846-!900) miner, portrait artist and pioneer commercial photographer, whose home and studio were at 44 and 45 Long Row, New Farnley.If anyone has connections to, information on, or work produced by either of these 'Victorian Sons' of New Farnley, ( eg a violin made by Joseph Wade, or a painting or photographs by Rufus Hanson), I would be very pleased to hear from you.

Hi just joined the site and seen a post from Oct 2016 from VOLNANTO asking for information on Rufus Hanson photographer of New Farnley
I have some photos taken by Rufus in a family album from the 1800's . They may be of some interest unfortunately there are no names on the photo's although we believe some of them are of the " Best " family of New Farnley

One of the allegations in the government document leaked to The New York Times is that a JPMorgan Chase executive gave "false and misleading statements" under oath. So exactly what were the allegedly false statements?
It's actually quite interesting, if you consider stumbling over a bureaucratic morass and finding yourself publicly accused of being a liar "interesting."
The short version: JPMorgan wanted the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission to run an inquiry into its California energy trading operation. Now the agency is preparing to accuse its executives of lying.
This part of the proposed case against JPMorgan arises from the bank's attempt to fend off inquiries by a California energy regulator called the California Independent System Operator (CAISO). The enforcement unit at FERC claims that JPMorgan attempted to mislead both it and CAISO about which agency had jurisdiction over alleged abusive bidding practices in the California electricity markets.

Elite Japanese politicians might have different politics, but they're joined by one thing: their love of "go".
Prime Minister Naoto Kan is no exception. Kan is an avid go player as well as a mahjong and shogi (Japanese chess) player. Before entering political office, Kan even developed and patented a machine to crunch numbers for mahjong's complex scoring.
According to a report in Japan's Shuukan Post, Prime Minister stay up all night playing go online - which is why he sleep through Japanese Diet sessions during the day.
Apparently, Kan's wife was worried about her husband's whereabouts one night and found him in his study. She thought he was reading a book, but he was playing go online.
Rival politician Ichiro Ozawa is said to the best go player in Japanese politics. Kan's rampant online gaming is believed to be the result of losing to Ozawa in go. (Kan, however, defeated Ozawa at the polls.) Whether it be go or elections, politicians cannot stand losing.
The Shuukan Post is hardly The Daily Yomiuri, but late games of online go seem far more believable than, say, wanting the country's youth to drink cute booze.

By Jenna Fryer | Associated Press
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. -- Regan Smith had the checkered flag in sight at Daytona a year ago and a freight train of cars in his rearview mirror.
He moved high to throw a block on Brad Keselowski and it backfired badly. The desperate attempt to preserve the win triggered a 12-car accident, Kyle Larson's car sailed into the fence and debris from the wreck injured nearly 30 fans.
It was a racing accident, nobody's fault. But Smith was racked with guilt.
So it was sweet redemption Saturday when he nipped Keselowski at the finish line to win the Nationwide Series opener -- finally, a year later -- at Daytona International Speedway.
"I think it hurt him deeply that the fans were involved in the accident," said Dale Earnhardt Jr., who along sister, Kelley and Rick Hendrick owns the JR Motorsports Chevrolet that Smith drove to victory.
"I think that he personally and privately (bore) some responsibility for his involvement in the crash, just being in the crash, to have someone in the grandstands get hurt had to affect him tremendously. That was definitely probably one of the toughest things he went through personally as a driver."
Smith said he went to dinner with Earnhardt after the accident and leaned on his boss.
"I'm fortunate that I've got a boss who has been in a lot of different situations in this sport and understands a lot of different things over the years in Dale," Smith said. "He just basically said 'You've got to shake it off, it's racing and no fault of anybody. Circumstances sometimes happen. He offered up a lot of good advice in that situation. It did bother me. I'd be lying if I said I didn't."
Nothing bothered Smith on Saturday.
He beat Keselowski by 0.013 for the second-closest finish at Daytona International Speedway and seventh closest in series history. It was the 300th victory for the Hendrick Motorsports engine shop.
Keselowski said last year's crash-marred finish never entered his mind as he plotted his strategy over the closing laps. Smith and Keselowski raced side-by-side at the front of the pack over the final two overtime laps. They were door-to-door exiting the final turn and Smith edged him at the line.
"I'm not that smart and I've got a terrible memory," Keselowski said of not worrying about a repeat of last year.
Trevor Bayne finished third, followed by Kyle Busch, winner of Friday night's Truck Series race, and his Joe Gibbs Racing teammate Elliott Sadler.
Brendan Gaughan was sixth and followed by Ty Dillon.
Earnhardt Jr., who was 11th, ran into the back of Joe Nemechek after the finish. He said he was being pushed by Kyle Larson and traffic slowed too quickly. It caused heavy damage to Nemechek and Ryan Sieg's cars that Earnhardt said he'd pay to repair.
"We were slowing down. I was looking all around trying to figure out where everybody was at," he said. "Totally my fault. Really wasn't paying attention. I hate it for Joe and those guys 'cause they don't need to be tearing up race cars."
NASCAR issued its first drafting penalty of the season 86 laps into race when James Buescher was called for push-drafting Keselowski. Buescher's car seemed to be under the rear of Keselowski's car for several seconds, which violates NASCAR's ban on drafting.
NASCAR vice president of competition Robin Pemberton said the penalty was called because Buescher appeared to be the aggressor regardless of what the television angle showed.
Keselowski said the penalty "set the tone for the rest of the race as far as what guys were looking at for driving their cars."

Because we need to ensure that silly do-it-yourself comedy will stay alive during these harrowing financial times, the magic venture capital fairies have infused JibJab.com with a $7.5 million Series C round. And by "magic venture capital fairies" I actually mean Overbrook Entertainment, Sony Pictures Entertainment, and existing investor Polaris Venture Partners.
Founded in 1999 by brothers Gregg and Evan Spiridellis, JibJab started as a hub for funny political song-and-dance videos that the two created, but in 2007 the company began an e-card service called "Starring You!" in which visitors to the site could insert photos of themselves (or their bosses!) into geeky cartoon videos. For the '08 holiday season, JibJab partnered with office supply store OfficeMax for the third annual installment of those "Elf Yourself" greeting cards that I'm sure more than a few of you were sent. (See image for embarrassing example.)
JibJab says a whopping 35 million of its holiday greeting cards were sent across the Web this winter. That's a lot of elves.
JibJab forged a deal with CNN Politics around that time last year when everyone was either thinking about Halloween or the presidential election, launching a zombie politician video creator.
The site has a business model beyond advertising and sponsorship, thank goodness: some of its content is subscription-based, and JibJab also sells additional video. To keep an "Elf Yourself" video past the holidays, for example, you can pay to download it.
"We sensed that customers would pay for access to unique, high-quality entertainment that they could use to express themselves online," co-founder and CEO Gregg Spiridellis said in a release. "With this thesis well proven, and the capital from this financing now in place, we plan to aggressively innovate the online greetings category in the months and years ahead."
Hey, guys, I have a suggestion: recession-themed dance video greeting cards!
This post was updated on Friday at 7:26 a.m. PT to note OfficeMax's creation of "Elf Yourself," which is now presented by JibJab.

Celebrate Dairy Month
with the Real Deal
Send a link to a friend
[June 03, 2014]
June Dairy Month is an
annual celebration that honors farmers for the delicious
dairy foods they produce. The designation also
highlights the important health benefits that milk,
cheese and yogurt deliver. Loaded with calcium,
potassium, protein and phosphorus, dairy foods
contribute significant nutrition to Americans' diets.
Although today's spotlight falls on a wide variety of nutritious
dairy foods, the very first celebration focused solely on milk. And
its purpose was practical. National Milk Month was created in 1937
to help distribute extra milk that cows typically produced during
With a nod to June Dairy month's practical origins, St. Louis
District Dairy Council is encouraging consumers to "keep it real"
when choosing their milk in 2014. "The dairy aisle is literally
exploding with options---everything from new milk flavors to
lactose-free milks, and even alternative beverages disguised as
milk," states nutrition educator/registered dietitian Monica Nyman.
These alternative beverages are often plant-based drinks or
solutions made from rice, soy, nut and hemp products. Though they
share shelf-space with milk, plant-based beverages do not share the
same nutrient package.
Some key differences:
[to top of second column]
"It's important for consumers to know that, when it comes to
nutrition, not all dairy aisle drinks are created equal," notes
Nyman. We've launched an awareness campaign called milk: the
real deal to help spread the word. There is no substitute for
the high nutrition and economic value that milk offers. It's the
real deal!"

Sierra Club goes bolder
After 121 years of lobbying, letter-writing campaigns and law-abiding protests, the Sierra Club is retooling itself for the flash-mob age — and showing an increasingly aggressive edge.
That edge was on display last week, when the Sierra Club's two top leaders and 46 other climate activists zip-tied themselves to the White House gates to protest the proposed Keystone XL oil pipeline. The organization called it the first time it had suspended its decades-long policy against club-sanctioned civil disobedience.
Story Continued Below
( PHOTOS: The Keystone XL protests)
That protest followed a trend in which the 1.4 million-member organization has toughened its rhetoric against fossil fuels, pursued a campaign to phase out coal and willingly brought on a public relations headache by outing its hidden financial ties to the natural gas industry.
Sierra Club leaders and supporters say they're not undergoing a radical makeover — and they stressed that the invitation-only White House arrests Feb. 13 were a "one-time" dalliance with civil disobedience.
But they also acknowledged increasing frustration with Washington's paralysis in the face of what they call a global climate emergency. And some say new tactics are required in an era when mass protests can be organized via Twitter.
( Also on POLITICO: TransCanada ownplays Keysteon XL protests)
"Civil disobedience is the response of ordinary people to extraordinary injustices," the group said in a statement before the protest, casting the climate debate as akin to previous struggles over "slavery, child labor, suffrage, segregation and inequality for gays and immigrant workers."
Sierra Club Executive Director Michael Brune and the other protesters wrote that they were also inspired by massive anti-Keystone sit-ins at the White House in late 2011, organized by the upstart climate group 350.org, that led to more than 1,200 people being hauled to jail.
The Sierra Club partnered with 350.org this month, both for the White House fence protest and a subsequent anti-Keystone rally on the National Mall that drew at least 35,000 people — what organizers billed as the largest climate demonstration in U.S. history.
Some Sierra activists say the group's more in-your-face style is less a departure from the club's roots than a sign of how times have changed.
"It's a function of things changing outside the club than inside," said Jack Darin, head of the Sierra Club's Illinois chapter. "What's changed is not Sierra's willingness to speak our mind. It really is a deepening frustration with the inaction from Washington and the big energy companies to make any large-scale progress to address the climate crisis."
It also reflects the stamp of Brune, who joined Sierra Club President Allison Chin, environmental lawyer Robert Kennedy Jr., actress Daryl Hannah and civil rights leader Julian Bond in subjecting themselves to arrest at the White House.
Brune came to the Sierra Club in 2010 after seven years as executive director of the Rainforest Action Network, a group whose activists have rappelled down office buildings and trespassed at corporate headquarters to get the attention of businesses like paper manufacturers, coal mining companies and banks. Brune, a former Greenpeace organizer, has gone to jail before.

Coroner: Upstate man dies after fireworks shoot into his chest
A man has died after an accident he was involved in while setting off fireworks, according to Greenville County Deputy Coroner Mike Ellis.
Ellis said Robin Rhodes Smith, 54, died on the way to the hospital Thursday night.
Ellis said Smith was using lock-and-load launcher which involves dropping a flaming ball packet into a tube.
He said Smith was having an issue getting the device to work so he took the flaming ball packet out of the tube, used a pocket knife to put holes in the packet and put a fuse from another firework in it.
Witnesses told Ellis that Smith put the flaming ball packet in upside down and it went off and hit him in the chest.
Ellis said the base of the launcher is supposed to be put on the ground but Smith was holding the launcher in his hand with the base in the direction of his chest.
New 4's Gabrielle Komorowski spoke with Smith's son and brother on Friday afternoon. Smith's brother Art said, "Sometimes he (Robin) does things that's just a little bit on the edge."
Ellis said the official cause of death was penetrating blunt-force trauma to the chest. The death has been ruled accidental.

Each session is held at weekly intervals to allow you and your baby time to absorb all the information and practice the massage. Group sizes are kept small to ensure personalized attention. The recommended age for group classes is from newborn to one year old.

Jennifer Grey not only dominated the competition Monday night in the "Dancing With the Stars" premiere with her dancing skills. She also easily captured the night's drama with her tears for her deceased "Dirty Dancing" co-star Patrick Swayze.
Grey broke down into tears during the filmed rehearsals for her Viennese waltz to the Otis Redding classic, "These Arms Are Mine," the soulful song featured in "Dirty Dancing."
Grey went from touched from the song selection to suddenly overcome with emotion and running out of the rehearsal room.
"It really took me back almost like in a time capsule," she said in the voiceover afterwards, which was placed over images of her sobbing. "I was with Patrick. I just missed him."
Grey said it was the image of her dance partner Dereck Hough which prompted the tears.
"He was like you, he was young and gorgeous. And now he's just gone," she told Hough of Swayze, who died of pancreatic cancer after a prolonged struggle on Sept. 15, 2009.
Grey managed to keep it together for the dance on Monday night, bringing a standing ovation from the crowd, and tears from judge Carrie Ann Inaba (who called the moment "profound").
"I know someone up there is going to be very, very proud of you," judge Bruno Tonioli told her before she received the top scores of the night -- a 24 out of 30.
Cynics might have felt it was overplayed. Further, Swayze wrote in his autobiography that he and Grey did not get along terribly well during the filming of the movie.
But it was powerful television and will no doubt solidify her "Dirty Dancing" base for the competition.

The session will help library administrators and ILL librarians interested in the future of library resource sharing discover innovative ways – such as a plug-in that helps users find material in libraries or on the Internet, a manifesto that sets the stage for new lending policies, scan-on-demand services, and the promise of home delivery – that will help librarians get people what they need, when and where they need it. As we rethink local, regional, national and international approaches to information resource sharing, we will also consider ways to implement and expand on these ideas.

When passing someone in the hall, you might say "How are you?" as a greeting, but not meaning it literally, as you don't really require an answer. Is "How are you?" (or "How's it going?", etc.) an idiom when used this way?
"Idiom" doesn't seem appropriate because that combination of words generally has the literal meaning. Is there another word for this?
Sorry if I am not making this clear. If I can clarify in some way, please ask.
Edit: Could someone explain why this question might have been voted down? Not complaining, just trying to learn.

Judge Lucy Koh welcomed the jury in the Apple-Samsung patent trial this morning without telling them they were about to hear 100 pages of jury instructions.
The jury will hear those instructions and then four hours of closing arguments from the two sides in the $2.5 billion patent case. Before the jury was seated, Koh told attorneys she would ask everyone in the courtroom to stand from time to time "because I need everyone to remain conscious."
The panel will be handed dozens of mobile phones to examine -- but the judge explicitly asked they not download apps, games or music.
At issue is Apple's accusation that Samsung copied the look and feel of its iPhone and iPad to the point that the two companies' products were nearly indistinguishable.
The jury is also unaware it will be given a 20 page verdict worksheet to assist it in its decision. Proposed worksheets released to the media last night indicated jurors would have to decide phone by phone and patent by patent if Samsung violated patent law.
Lawyers were still filing motions to change those worksheets as late as 2am Tuesday morning.
Just 15 minutes into instructions, it became clear Judge Koh would have a tough time keeping her audience attentive. For instance, jury instruction number 21 involved the definition of the word "invoke."
Jury instructions are given in most, if not all trails, but this one is particularly unusual. Jurors will be given dozens of cell phones to examine in private.

Tumi Warranty
Tumi's comprehensive product coverage is reflective of our commitment to our consumer's ongoing satisfaction.
Welcome to the world of Tumi - the finest international brand of travel, business and lifestyle accessories. Since our founding in 1975, Tumi has been dedicated to providing our customers with an outstanding ownership experience. Specifically, we make three commitments to our customers:
1. You will enjoy using our innovative products that are designed and manufactured to be the best;
2. You will experience world-class, after-sales customer service;
3. For five (5) years after you purchase a Tumi product from an authorized Tumi store or dealer, you will be covered by our Limited Warranty.
Tumi's warranty extends to the original owner; it is straightforward and comprehensive, and just part of the total Tumi ownership experience.
First Year of Ownership: Worry Free
With limited exceptions, if your Tumi product is damaged during the first twelve (12) months you own it – including damage caused by wear and tear, airlines, or other transit damage – Tumi will cover all repair expenses, including shipping costs to and from our repair facility. If we determine that the product is damaged beyond repair, we will replace it. If we determine that a replacement product is not available, we will provide you with a product of comparable value. Damages not covered are damage resulting from abuse, cosmetic damage (such as scratched leather or stained fabrics), and incidental or consequential damages, such as damage to or loss of the contents of a bag, loss of use, loss of time, or similar expenses.
Years Two through Five: You're Covered for Defects
From the second through the fifth year you own your Tumi product, Tumi will repair any items that are defective in materials or workmanship, (for a nominal processing fee), including any structural defects (such as defective handles, zippers, or locks). For years two through five, however, we will not cover damage resulting from wear and tear that is not the result of defects in materials or workmanship. We also will not cover damage caused by airlines or other transit damage. Damage claims in transit cases should be filed against the carrier. Other damages not covered are damage resulting from abuse, cosmetic damage (such as scratched leather or stained fabrics) and incidental or consequential damages, such as damage to or loss of the contents of a bag, loss of use, loss of time, or similar expenses.
Your only responsibility is to ship your bag to us for repair, postage paid, or take it to a Tumi store or authorized Tumi dealer, who will be happy to process the repair for a nominal processing fee. Many repairs can actually be handled right in the store, in which event a processing fee may be charged. If your bag does need to be sent to our facility, we will repair it quickly and ship it back at no additional cost to you. In those cases where our warranty does not apply, we will promptly provide you with an estimate of any repair and return shipping costs that may be involved.
You Can Expect Years of Quality Service
We do have many customers with older, well-traveled bags that they would like to have refurbished or repaired. For these customers, we offer courteous, responsive service and the highest quality repairs and refurbishment at reasonable cost. Many parts are stocked for up to five years after the style is discontinued. If we are unable to repair the bag, we will suggest alternative options. Please call before sending your product for repair or refurbishment to discuss shipping and handling costs and other fees.
Total Commitment
The bottom line is that at Tumi, we are totally committed to keeping you happy about our products and our service. Once you have had the pleasure of owning and using our products, we hope that they will become your trusted companions for life. You can reach us online, 24 hours a day, seven days a week at www.tumi.com/repair or call 800.781.TUMI (8864) to speak with a customer service representative during normal business hours. (To contact Tumi customer service outside of the US and Canada, please see the list of international centers on the envelope.)
Proof of Purchase
Please save your store receipt as proof of purchase. This will be needed to demonstrate your warranty coverage. Additionally, this will serve as proof that your purchase was made at an authorized Tumi retailer. Our Five Year Limited Warranty only applies to products that were purchased from an authorized Tumi store or dealer.
This warranty gives you certain rights, and you may also have other rights, which vary from state to state. Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you.

The appeal of an all-inclusive vacation is, you pay upfront and then put the credit card away while you enjoy the surf, the scenery and delicious food and drink. But before you decide if this is the vacay for you, here are some things you need to know before you book.
- You may be tempted by a package that includes airfare, but be wary – you'll often have long or multiple layovers, very early flights, and the actual price may not even be that great of a deal. Do some research and you'll probably be able to find a better deal booking the flight separately.
- An all-inclusive resort tends to include more perks than an all-inclusive cruise. Since you'll want to spend the bulk of your time enjoying the ship amenities anyway, you can book an interior room which will be less than an ocean view room.
- An "all-inclusive" cruise can be misleading, be sure to read the fine print as extras can add up. Alcohol and even soda can cost you, so set a beverage budget before the trip. Some resorts only charge for top-shelf liquor—ask which brands (if any) are included with your package. Spas, on-ship casinos and excursions are a few potential money pits to beware of.
- Know the gratuity policy. Many places automatically bill you $10 to $20 per person, per day at the end of your trip. For a family of four on a 7-day vacation that could be as much as $560.
- Know where you want to go and do your research. There are adult-only resorts like Sandals – save now – which are perfect for a romantic getaway, and there are family-friendly destinations like Club Med or Disney Vacations. Look online for reviews from past guests.
Final Word: There are great deals, fantastic vacations, and tons of fun to be had at all-inclusive resorts, but like with any major purchase, do your homework first. Read reviews, look for coupon codes, pay attention to the fine print, and you'll be well on your way to the sunny adventure you deserve.

Tree and brush cutter attachment
More than a canola cutter
Radio interview source: Grant Gaudes, president, Canadian Agri Technologies
My friend Sherri and her husband have a horse-riding path that winds through 12 acres of their property. Part of the path is fenced, and almost the whole thing is under a canopy of trees. They try to clear the path frequently of brush and overhanging limbs, but it can take a couple of weekends or more to do it all. They have to switch equipment to trim trees and along the fencerow, with some of it having to be done by hand.
There's a hydraulic cutting attachment that may make that process easier. The Sabre Samurai fits on to any-sized tractor, skid steer, or loader. Grant Gaudes is the company's president, and says the attachment evolved from a crop divider for cutting canola into a more versatile tool based on customer modifications.
"It was our users that came to us and said, 'We've been using it as a vertical, or tree, cutter,'" Gaudes says. "So, we started taking a look at how they were using it, went back to our engineers and further developed it."
So what the customers wanted, they got.

Stable Channel Update
9 comments :
I'm still not seeing version 20 in the stable channel. I'm running 19.0.1084.57 but I'm getting up to date when it goes to check for updates.
The "updated" flash is incompatible with Zynga games. Not happy with this update.
Updated flash on chrome linux works strange on my system. If i try to play videos on youtube or any other site videos start fine but seem to skip every 5-10sec for 1-2 secs. Pretty annoying.
If i disable pepper flash and enable old flash plugin from adobe site all works fine.
When watching youtube I get sound getting corrupt and stutter after playing for about 1 minute.
This happens on both my desktop and netbook! They both run Ubuntu 12.04 and they are both Intel based.
This has been happening for all Chrome 20 versions released so far, had to roll back to 19.
I'm having the same problems with Flash as others here.
1) Flash sound is breaking up
2) Browser response is slow to mouse scrolling and keyboard input
Chrome Version 20.0.1132.57
CentOS release 6.3 (Final)
in VMWare Wkstn 8.0.3 build-703057
Chrome 20.0.1132.57
Ubuntu 12.04
Browser response is slow to keyboard input on pages including flash. Problem dissapears when flash plugin is disabled.
Problem does not manifest in 20.0.1132.57 m on Windows 7.
Site security certificate not trusted problem again with 20.0.1132.57.
Cannot access many webpages.

One of the things nobody ever tells you about drag racing is the last thing you want to do is look like an idiot. The air is thick with competitive spirit, there's a crowd watching your every move, and even if you're a novice in a world of pros, you don't want to get made fun of. This guy got made fun of after this run — a lot. Staging with his back tires, what a maroon — and that's just the beginning. [Youtube]

Q if for:
Questions, Queries and Quandaries at the heart of our family history research. So many avenues are open to us now, beyond the traditional local and family history society magazine pages, with online message boards, social network sites etc.
We can generally find out the "who, where, and when" about our ancestor's lives, but the "why" remains a mystery and we can only hazard a guess as to motives.
Why was 6 year old John Robert Donaldson left behind when his parents moved 350 miles south?
John was born in 1854, the son of Robert Donaldson, a shipwright, and Isabella Walton of South Shields, a town on the north east coast of England, dominated by the sea and maritime activity. An obvious next step in research was to find the family in the 1861 Census, but frustratingly, in the days before online records, this proved impossible to trace. Yet all the indications were that direct Donaldson descendants had remained in South Shields down the generations.
It was only much later the opportunity to do national searches online revealed that by 1861 Robert and Isabella were at Portsea in Portsmouth on the south coast of England. With them were two young sons Thomas, aged 4, born South Shields and one year old Frederick W. (Walton perhaps after Isabella's maiden name?) born at Portsea, indicating a move c.1857-1860. But there was no mention of their eldest son, John who would have been 6 years old.
How had the family travelled 350 miles from South Shields to Portsea, by rail or more likely by sea? Was work the reason, with Robert now employed at Her Majesty's Dockyard as a shipwright? Why was John not with them?
Back in South Shields, I returned to the 1861 census and found John's maternal grandparents, John and Hannah Walton, with the household also including their grandson John Robert Walton aged 6. This must be "my" John Robert Donaldson, mistakenly recorded in the census with the wrong surname. An entry in the 1871 census gave further confirmation - a John Donaldson, aged 16, born c.1855 was living at the home of his maternal uncle Robert Walton. Death records showed that John must have lost his grandparents (and his home) in 1868.
Eight year later John married Jane Elizabeth Rushton. and they had four sons - John Robert, Henry, Thomas, Frederick and one daughter Isabella. Interestingly these names echoed those of his siblings in Portsmouth. For Robert and Isabella had more children, making a family of Thomas, Fredrick, Henry, Robert, Charles, Isabella and Alfred.
The fact that John retained the name of his father and mother for his eldest son and daughter suggests that the split had been amicable. One cannot help wonder did the two families ever meet again.
Why was my great grandmother, who was named Maria on her birth certificate, noted as Martha M. in later official records, including her marriage certificate?
Maria was only 4 years old when her baby sister Martha died, so could hardly have remembered her, but did she, for some reason, adopt her name as her own?
Maria was only 4 years old when her baby sister Martha died, so could hardly have remembered her, but did she, for some reason, adopt her name as her own?
|Maria Danson, nee Rawcliffe (1859-1919)
with her only daughter Jennie (after 8 surviving sons)
and granddaughter Annie Maria.
Why did Maria's sister Alice and family (husband John Mason, a general labourer, and six children under 11 years old) emigrate from Fleetwood , a fishing town in Lancashire to Brooklyn, New York in 1886-7.
Why cannot I trace the birth certificate of my grandmother Alice English, born c.1884 in Bolton, Lancashire?
These Questions remain mysteries and I may never know the answers - another factor that makes family history so absorbing.
I am still on the Quest - and not for Quitting.

The maker of Flappy Bird pulled the plug when the game was making $50,000 every day. So, is developing a game worth it for the average designer, especially if the app is free to download?
Earlier this month, the creator of the extremely popular, and some say extremely frustrating, "Flappy Bird" pulled the plug on his game. At the time, it was earning him about $50,000 every day. Very few apps or games generate that kind of money. So, is developing and selling a game worth it for the average designer, especially if the app is free to download? "In the case of 'Flappy Bird,' it made money off advertising," said Roger Altizer, who leads the video game design and production program at the University of Utah. It's called in-app advertising. Every time someone starts the game, they're bombarded with banner ads paid for by advertisers. "So you're paid per 10,000 views," Altizer explained. "You have to get a lot of eyeballs on your app to make sense." "Flappy Bird" definitely had a lot of eyeballs on it. It had been downloaded more than 50 million times. Altizer said the majority of games will not get that kind of attention. "With your average app, with advertising, you could expect to become a dozen-aire. That's about it," he said. Other apps generate revenue through in-game purchasing, for example, the ultra-popular "Candy Crush Saga." "If you want to clear a level, maybe you're stuck on it, you can buy a special little piece of candy for 99 cents, or you can spend $99 and get a special ability that will last the entire game," Altizer said. The strategy helped earn the makers of "Candy Crush" $1.9 billion last year. But there's a whole company behind that game. The man who created "Flappy Bird" said it took him just a couple of days to develop. Altizer said that's the beauty of today's mobile gaming market. "It used to be when you make big money you had to make a big game. But now we're seeing some of these smaller games can be very profitable," he said.%3Cimg%20src%3D%22http%3A//beacon.deseretconnect.com/beacon.gif%3Fcid%3D149551%26pid%3D46%22%20/%3E

We knew Hong Kong was a crowded city, but high real estate prices there have even inflated the price of parking spaces to insane levels.
Cheung Kong Holdings sold 514 spaces this week for between $126,000 and $167,000 each, with every slot supposedly able to fetch rents in the neighborhood of $600 per month. One space sold for $387,000 last May, more than many Americans' homes.
Hong Kong's parking space bubble comes after its government passed legislation aimed at calming skyrocketing housing prices, which in some areas have shot up as much as 20 percent recently. Unfortunately for parking space customers, the price boom merely spilled over into the parking lot market, where speculators have positioned themselves to profit from the situation.
We're guessing there aren't too many parking lot mechanics or working class car enthusiasts in Hong Kong. Well, unless they're Kid Rock-esque millionaires who don't mind wrenching on an '86 Oldsmobile Cutlass in a $150,000 parking stall (I would if I had the money, just because).
In any case, parking in Hong Kong is still cheaper than leaving your car at Chicago's O'Hare International Airport.

LONGMONT — Gabe Santos announced Monday that he would run for re-election to the Longmont City Council, the first incumbent to enter the race.
Santos first came to the council in January 2008 and is the second-longest serving active member after Councilwoman Sarah Levison. His seat is an at-large one, meaning all Longmont residents can vote in the race.
"I'm happy with the council that is currently seated and believe there's still a lot of work that needs to be done," Santos said.
Candidates cannot file nomination petitions until August. Petitions may begin to be circulated Aug. 6 and cannot be turned in later than Aug. 26. No one else has declared for the at-large race yet, including incumbent Councilman Alex Sammoury. Last week, parks and recreation board vice chairman Rick Accountius said he would run for the Ward 2 seat being vacated by Councilwoman Katie Witt.
Santos, who owns a local bookkeeping business, has lived in Longmont since 2001. He currently serves as mayor pro tem, the "vice mayor" who chairs the meetings when Mayor Dennis Coombs is absent.
Some of the work still to be done may find its resolution in the courtroom rather than the council chambers. Longmont has been sued by the state over its oil and gas regulations and by the Colorado Oil and Gas Association over a citizen-adopted ban of hydraulic fracturing. In addition, the city has begun condemnation proceedings against Dillard's, asking a judge to set a price for the store and grant possession so that a redevelopment of the Twin Peaks Mall can go ahead.
Santos said he still hopes an answer can be reached before a gavel comes down — but that can only happen, he said, if everyone's willing to talk.
"I take a James T. Kirk approach — I don't believe in a no-win situation," he said. "I believe there's always a way for everyone to come out on top. The thing is, you have to strip away the emotions and rely on fact. But if you can sit down in a room with the other people … and try to find a solution, things can happen."
In the near future, he said, the big items facing the council will be getting the mall project going, rolling out citywide broadband Internet service, updating the city's master plan for its parks, and getting as much of Vance Brand airport's new master plan into place as possible. That includes a controversial runway extension that Santos supports and that the Federal Aviation Administration has said it wouldn't be able to fund until at least 2021.
The toughest item in the near future, though, may be a planned budget "reset" where the city defines its core services and then decides how much support it can give to everything else. Most recently, the city has begun to look at whether changes need to be made to its human services funding, the annual grants to local nonprofits.
"I'm not trying to put anyone out of business, but there are a lot of needs," Santos said. "When times are good, we can help everyone. When times are lean, things need to get a little bit leaner."
Santos and his wife, Vicki, have two children. In addition to his official posts on city or regional boards, he has also been involved with Relay For Life and serves on the board of the Hispanic Education Foundation.

1. Most Unlikely Statement
Cassandra: "There were so many things going on in my head." Come on, Cassandra's head is an empty Abercrombie bag.
2. Most Overlooked Super-Chill And Nice Single Mom
Renee's maternal instincts continue to be utterly ignored. Meanwhile, Juan Pablo acts like Cassandra's just like the self-sacrificing Marmee from Little Women and not, you know, a woman who left her kid at home to compete with 24 strangers for a man's attention. But Renee is optimistic that he'll stop fawning over Cassandra's motherly abilities and notice her. "The second he doesn't feel it or see it [with Cassandra], he's gonna send her home! Immediately!" Renee says hopefully. We're rooting for you, Renee.
3. Date That Most Resembles An Attribute Of Our Lord Jesus Christ
Juan Pablo and Cassandra off-roading on the water.
4. Most American Idol-esque Tragic Backstory
Shortly before Elise's mom passed away from cancer, she wrote a letter for Elise to be on The Bachelor, which is kind of touching, and kind of a weird thing to waste energy on if you are dying. (When asked how her mom's doing, Elise tosses off, "She's dead, honey." OK, weirrrrd.) Despite this, Elise is a pretty strong candidate for later-episode villainy, judging by the shade she throws at Chelsie.
5. Moment At Which I Would Have Began Crying Immediately
No. I'm an indoor dater.
6. Moment At Which I Would Have Promptly Shit Myself, Threw In The Towel And Returned Home To Marry The Mouth-Breather Who'd Been Hitting On Me At Office Parties For Two Years
Chelsie's challenge. Fuck THAT.
Cassandra gets a low-key ethnic dinner by a roaring fire and kitchen dancing, and Chelsie gets utterly shafted with this Fear Factor bullshit. I'd rather eat a cow eyeball milkshake with Joe Rogen sweating all over me than bungee jump.
7. Most Likely To Rip Your Face Off During A High School Powderpuff Game
Red team.
8. Most Unromantic Place To Kiss
Andie and Juan Pablo make out right behind a concession stand, right near what appears to be the meat locker where they found Carbone hanging from a hook in Goodfellas.
9. Most Endearingly Awkward
Sharleen, who says, flatly, "That's a compliment," every time Juan Pablo gives her a compliment instead of simply saying "Thank you" or "Stop talking and remove your shirt." The best moment is, after she kisses Juan Pablo, she becomes more or less incapable of human speech: "Can we redo a retake?" This is almost enough to forgive later in the episode, when she pretends she doesn't like the cameras. Then you'd be dating not on ABC like the rest of us Muggles, Sharleen. Also: That weird kiss. Perhaps Sharleen is a robot.
10. Most Naïve
24-year-old teacher Chelsie: "I think if we jump off a bridge together, we can pretty much get through anything." You're right, Chelsie. If you can make it in a completely overproduced, over-the-top "romantic" social vacuum where the only hardships you face as a couple are whether you will dance to a private Brad Paisley concert or a private Kenny Chesney concert while nearby swans poop diamonds out of their buttholes, you can definitely make it in Real Life, which is full of babies with croup and dead-end jobs and mortgages and a high divorce rate. Same thing!
12. Most Manipulative "Favor" You Could Do For A House Of Women Trying To Snare You With Their Heavily Made-Up Cocktail Casual Wiles
Make arepas for breakfast as a cover for seeing all the women without makeup and bras in the morning. Tricky, tricky, Juan Pablo. These bitches never leave the house without shellacking every exposed area of their bodies. Renee is the only one who's chill with being seen au natural. RENEEEEEEEEEE.
13. Best Bathing Suit
14. The Most Still A Dog Lover
Kelly 4 LYFE. She is kind of winning me over even though she used the W word.
But that might be because she sort of looks like my spirit animal Taylor Swift.
Eliminated: Christy (who?) and Lucy (barefoot and holding her heels like a drunk girl at 4 a.m. Vaya con dios, you free spirit.)

Al Smith IV will be named the 2013 Grand Marshal of the St.Patrick's Day parade in New York this week, IrishCentral has learned. He is the great grandson of Al Smith, the first major Catholic candidate for president when he ran in 1928 and a major fundraiser for philanthropic causes. He is a former senior Wall Street executive who serves on several boards.
Smith will host the annual Al Smith dinner in New York which will be attended by both President Obama and Mitt Romney on October 18th.
He will lead an estimated 150,000 marchers up Fifth Avenue on March 17th next year, one of the highest honors in the Irish American community.
Smith's work on behalf of charities in New York and Connecticut is extensive. In addition to his work with the Alfred E. Smith Memorial Foundation, he is a founding member and serves as Chairman of the Ireland Chamber of Commerce of the USA.
He served on the board of Saint Vincent's Hospital in Manhattan since 1986. Smith and other members of the Saint Vincent's board were criticized by community leaders in 2010 in connection with the closure and bankruptcy of Saint Vincent's.
Smith is the Chairman of Hackers for Hope, an organization he co-founded in 1988 to raise money for cancer research and treatment. Since its first "tournament" in 1988, Hackers for Hope has donated a total of more than $8,000,000 to Saint Vincent's Catholic Medical Center's Comprehensive Cancer Center, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center and other organizations committed to finding a cure for and treating cancer.
Smith has served as president of the Society of the Friendly Sons of St. Patrick in New York, 2005–2007 and he is a Knight of Malta.
Smith's service and commitment to Saint Vincent Catholic Medical Centers was rooted in his family history and extended back 70 years when his great-grandfather was involved in St. Vincent's. In his role as Chairman, Smith's focus was on building a new state of the art hospital which would continue to tackle the healthcare needs of the New York Community. The hospital filed for bankruptcy and closed in the spring of 2010.
Smith is married to Nan Moore Smith. They have two children, Alfred E. Smith V and Catherine Smith Totero, and two grandchildren.
