Two Union County girls basketball coaching vacancies were filled Monday night with the hiring of Trent Adair at Ingomar and Shelley Parman at East Union, both bringing excitement and a connection from Hatley to Union County.
Parman joins the Lady Urchins after stints as a junior high coach at Dorsey Attendance Center and Iuka Middle School. Helping to rebuild the tradition at East Union is what excites the first-time high school coach.
Tadarious Coburn led a Bulldog-laden East All-Star squad in its win over the West, 101-86, on Saturday in Booneville.
Five Union County standouts played the final games of their high school careers on Thursday, participating in the fifth annual Northeast Mississippi Softball Coaches Association All-Star games at Veterans Park in Tupelo.
Danielle Taylor pitched three innings for the West squad, allowing seven hits in the East's 12-5 win in the fast pitch game.
Basketball and softball All-Stars are on showcase this weekend, participating in the Northeast Mississippi Softball Coaches Association and Northeast Mississippi Basketball Coaches Association All-Star games in Tupelo and Booneville. The slow pitch and fast pitch games took place Thursday night at Veterans Park in Tupelo, featuring five local seniors. Fast pitch opened the evening with West Union's Danielle Taylor and East Union's Chelsea Kuhn playing respectively for the West and East squads.
A semester away from the game he loves was enough inspiration to get Zach Carnell back on the court. After starting at Delta State, then transferring to Itawamba Community College in the spring semester, the former Ingomar standout will now take his talents to J.D. Parker's Blue Mountain College squad.
Austin Bynum of West Union High School, one of Mississippi's top high school and junior golfers, on Wednesday signed a scholarship with Blue Mountain College.
Former Bulldogs shined in the Northeast Mississippi Coaches Association for Better Baseball All-Star game, held at the Corinth City Park last Saturday.
West Union boasts several honors after their run in the 1A state championship, naming seven to the Region 2-1A All-Division team.
Several New Albany standouts have received postseason honors after the team's run to the third round of the 4A State playoffs.
Dalton Baggett has grown up enjoying bowling, spending much time playing at his uncle's bowling ally, and chose to take the sport more seriously when West Union established their team three years ago.

I have know for years what my G-Grandfathers name was but never gave it too much thought other than a family name. While searching through an antique store I found the gray series of 52nd Virginia Infantry written by Robert J. Driver and leafed through it just out of curiosity and found lots family names. That was reason enough for me to buy it. I was into reading other books and put the 52nd on the back burner for a while. Last summer, I revisited the book following along to their battles. Much to my surprise, while going through the book, my G-Grandfather's name popped up! This started me on a yearlong journey to gather the facts about him. He was born in 1849 and signed up in the 52nd at the age of 12. I have nothing telling me at this point in time what he might have been doing at that young age. All went well during the search, marriage, where he lived, how many children he had,etc. until attempting to find a death date. Here the info dried up. All the ancestry websites had nothing on his death date, I sent to Richmond to the Vital records, local library and found nothing. After stumbling around with this this for 3 or 4 months, it finally dawned on me to try to find the funeral home that buried him. I new of an old funeral home in New Hope, Virginia, that had closed 55 years ago. I called all the funeral homes to see if they had those burial records needed and no one had them. I called an old friend to ask about the owners family and found the owners wife was still living. This widow is one of the most active and youngest sounding 83 year old's I have ever known. I first asked if she had transferred her records and right of the bat she asked what was I looking for? She took the name and called me back the next day with the info. His death date was Feb. 12, 1923. **Just a little addition to this, a family member informed me today, 14th June, my G-Grandfather was a blacksmith. Maybe this will give you folks some Ideas. Never quit. Keep exploring all avenues. Last edited on Tue Jun 15th, 2010 01:45 am by Old Blu |

After he drove away, hopefully he turned the car right back around, snuck back into the compound and stole the tape he made with Hank and Gomez.
Get off my back, Babylon!
Since he was rolling with Jack and Todd's crew when they carted off Walt's loot, he probably knew where it all was. Doubt they much cared if he knew since he was going to be killed anyway. So...he's probably massively rich and tried setting Brock up with cash at some point.

OpenLDAP 2.4.8 with Bugfixes
The new 2.4.8 version mainly offers bugfixes for the free OpenLDAP directory service, while adding a Slap daemon encryption feature.
Additionally, the OpenLDAP project maintainers have decided to drop Lint for source code verification. Besides a long list of bugfixes the Release Notes also mention the extended encryption capabilities, which OpenLDAP developer Howard Chu regards as unspectacular. The developers have also extended the documentation in the course of the update. The new version is available for downloading from the project homepage.
OpenLDAP is a free server that implements the LDAP protocol. Administrators can use the server to store user and configuration information. Many applications include OpenLDAP interfaces. Mail User Agents (MUA) with a suitable interface can search the LDAP database for email addresses.

Teachers will appreciate the high safety standards and easy maintenance of Hertz Furniture's play seating collection. Seating systems in a variety of configurations and a great assortment of animal cushions will add tons of color and excitement to your space. Story-time and rest hour have never been so much fun!
Little ones need comfy places to sit whether they are working on projects, reading quietly to themselves or playing together in preschool learning centers. With our wide variety of styles and models, you can find some excellent cushions and couches for any part of the classroom. With lots of places to sit and many enticing options, children will be excited to come into class and enjoy the appropriately-sized furniture.
Children's Factory has a number of unique designs that will encourage young learners to explore and be creative. Versatile cube chairs will fit just about anywhere in the room. Their innovative design lets little ones decide just what they would like to use them for. These vibrant chairs can be stacked, sat on or used as a work surface. A lightweight design enables children to take initiative and move them around independently.
Although many early-childhood classrooms use rugs for circle time, carpets might not provide adequate padding for little ones. In order to make sure that everyone is comfortable sitting on the floor, supply your classroom with some soft play cushions. Smaller cushions are perfect for creative games and other floor activities while large fun animal shapes offer a great place to rest or hang out.
Couches and cushy chairs will fit well in a reading corner or an imaginative play center. Little ones can feel like grownups as they sit down and dive into a great book, or create a pretend living room or office waiting room setup. For an even more realistic arrangement, consider adding some preschool end tables and coffee tables. With so many fun and realistic pieces, little ones will feel free to let their imaginations soar.
Beanbag chairs are cozy to sit on no matter how old you are. They mold to fit each person perfectly, so everyone can feel at home. This comfy preschool furniture can fit just about anywhere in a daycare classroom or even in a children's library.
Play seating that is just the right size for the little ones in your care is guaranteed to enhance any learning space. Toddler-size chairs, sofas and cushions promote proper posture which helps children focus longer and learn correct ways to sit, and get up. When children need to relax throughout the day, or just take a little break to calm down, preschool chairs and beanbag chairs provide a great place to have some alone time. They can also be arranged in clusters to encourage social interaction among your little ones.
At Hertz Furniture, we know that young children deserve to be treated to proper seating in the daycare and preschool classroom. Our wide selection of preschool chairs, toddler sofas, loungers and cushions ensures that all of your young students can enjoy appropriately-sized seating.

can airport express run a hard drive?
Can I plug a hard drive into the Airport Express's USB port and access it wirelessly?
- Asked by Andy H from Kutztown
- Oct 1, 2013
- Flag as inappropriate
Best AnswerNo. The express has a USB configured only for a printer hookup. The extreme and time capsule will allow for an external hd to connect.

"Go the wired route if you want" - from AE's features description. Isn't it NECESSARY?
I am confused by this part of the Airport Express features description from the Compatibility and Security section: "Go the wired route if you want."
I've a cable modem, a Mac mini, an iPad and an iPhone. Presently, my modem is plugged into the mini which gives me online access for that device alone. I was going to order Airport Express which I understand will give me online access to all Apple devices, including the Mini (2007) through my own wi-fi network.
As part of such a setup, isn't it necessary to unplug my modem from the mini and plug the modem into Airport Express??- Asked by Chrystal O from Duncan
- Oct 27, 2013
- Flag as inappropriate
AnswerYes, it is necessary to unplug the Mac Mini from your modem and plug it into the AE.
However, you have the choice of using wifi to connect your Mac Mini to the AE, or use another ethernet cable to connect it to the AE - this is the optional wired route...- Answered by William Q from Beaverton

can I use the airport express with a time capsule?
- Asked by William L from Dundas
- Dec 9, 2013
- Flag as inappropriate
so what if you already have wi fi in your home, is this device still needed or will my wi fi do the job?
i'm trying to add a printer for printing, and it sounds like the airport express will allow me to print wireless, but if i already have wi fi installed will i still need the airport express to print wireless, and what does this device do different than what i already have?
- Asked by Melvin T from Westchester
- Oct 5, 2013
- Flag as inappropriate
AnswerIf your current printer already connects to the wireless network you have, then you don't need this. The Airport models allow you to add printers in two ways: either through a wireless network (if a printer is wifi-capable), or by connecting it via USB to the Airport (you can do this for printers that don't have built-in wireless networking). The Airport Express also has an audio out port which lets you stream music from a computer to a stereo system.
Note that the USB method does not make a non-Airprint-capable printer accessible to iOS devices. You still need an Airprint printer to print from iPad or iPhone.- Answered by Matt C from Beacon

To use airplay
To use airplay with the airport express does the airport express need to be connected to network or can it be used independently just for airplay
- Asked by Joshua S
- Dec 17, 2012
- Flag as inappropriate
AnswerYes. An airport express can be used independently for Airplay. Set it up to create its own wireless network. The limitation is that the device managing airplay must then be connected to that same network.

How many Xbox 360's can I connect to my airport express?
I recently purchased another 360 and cannot get it to work with my airport express unless I plug into it directly. My first 360 connects with no issue wirelessly. My ISP told me that my express may not be able to handle more than one 360 with the wifi. Is this just them pushing responsibility on to Apple or is there something I'm missing? If I cannot connect more than one wirelessly, then will a time capsule or extreme do the trick?
Thank you everyone for your assistance.- Asked by Jeffery K from Roy

I have a Humax YouView box with an Ethernet only connection. Can I connect it to an AirPort Express to give it an internet connection?

External storage via ethernet?
If I can't use the USB port to access external storage wirelessly, would I be able to hook up a network-enabled external drive via one of the ethernet ports, and have the other port lead to my modem? I don't want to get an Airport Extreme as that lacks the optical audio output that I want to use for a home audio system

Nokia switched to late for any other OS and stayed to long on Symbian with Android they would be beaten by Samsung anyway end endup like HTC wich has some financial problems to. No respective companylike Google or Apple would have bought Nokiaa nd they would be food for the dogs by now. luckily they choose WP as they sell the biggest part of them. And yes its growing. The Nokia team will still make phones under the same conditions in Finland thanks to Microsoft who once saved Apple too. Right now windows is still the OS that runs everything and W8 has definitly the most vision. Nothing as permanent as change and yes with technology things will chance...watch my words GDR3 is coming . The advances of android getting smaller over time until most of the best features of W8 will be implemented. Like directx for example ..thing defintly will change and thats good for our customers overall. Cameras getting seriously better thanks to this competition. And Nokia did a defintly good first step.
Sample gallery: Sony's 20.7-megapixel Xperia Z1
Lars Rehm |
Published: Sep 9, 2013 at 17:04:35 UTC
We've already got our hands on Sony's new flagship smartphone announced at the IFA expo in Berlin last week. Now we've had the chance to use the Xperia Z1 for a few days and have shot a gallery to show you what the device's camera and 1/2.3 20.7MP CMOS sensor can do. We've shot in a mixture of light situations and switched between the Z1's "manual" mode which lets you shoot at the 20.7MP maximum resolution setting with a 4:3 aspect ratio and the default "Superior Auto" mode which captures 8MP images with a 16:9 aspect ratio. While the latter mode does not allow for any adjustment of image parameters, in the manual mode you can change image resolution and aspect ratio, modify the white balance and apply exposure compensation. We've also had a look at the performance of the Z1's digital zoom and shot a couple of videos. Read on and see for yourself how the new Sony did in our brief test. There are 33 images in our Sony Xperia Z1 samples gallery. Please do not reproduce any of these images on a website or any newsletter / magazine without prior permission (see our copyright page). We make the originals available for private users to download to their own machines for personal examination or printing (in conjunction with this review), we do so in good faith, please don't abuse it. Sony Xperia Z1 Sample Gallery 1 / 58 Digital zoomMost smartphones offer a 3x digital zoom which usually delivers dreadful results and should only be used as a last resort. The Z1's high resolution sensor in combination with Sony's Clear Zoom system allows for a more efficient digital zoom than conventional smartphone cameras. The maximum zoom factor is 8 times, but as you can see in the samples below the use of this maximum zoom setting is still not recommended. More moderate zooming up to 4x yields more acceptable results and images that can at least be used for sharing on social networks or viewing on the device's screen.

By rhob (3 months ago) I don't know what mode they shot this in it doesn't represent the capability at all in my opinion. Here's some unprocessed images through the various firmware updates the phone has had during development. http://www.xperiablog.net/2013/09/05/sony-xperia-z1-photo-samples-through-different-firmware-revisions/ Mobile web browsers don't always render the images how they should be so saving the image is the truest way to view them at full res. The Disney land images amazed me for a phone and the sign and flower images show great focus and resolution. But each to their own :) 1 upvote By ET2 (3 months ago) For those interested, this is what I wanted to see: Sony Xperia Z1 vs Nokia Lumia 1020 http://blog.gsmarena.com/sony-xperia-z1s-20-7mp-snapper-gets-compared-to-nokia-lumia-1020s-41mp-pureview-monster/ Xperia Z1 Nokia 808 PV and HTC One mini http://blog.gsmarena.com/a-shootout-between-sony-xperia-z1-htc-one-mini-and-nokia-808-pureview-shows-great-promise-from-the-sony/ 3 upvotes By Henrik Herranen (3 months ago) I think there's a slight error. As for image quality, even the non-zoomed image looks pretty smeary to me when scaled to my screen size (1920x1200), which is not true for modern 1/2.3" P&S cameras. Comment edited 2 times, last edit 2 minutes after posting 1 upvote By Boerseuntjie (3 months ago) All the negativity is just funny, "If Nokia had Android" Comment edited 37 seconds after posting 3 upvotes By akira204 (3 months ago) It's cool and all how you can compare this to a Nokia 1020 (a dying windows ecosystem). I come from the android world and honestly, this phone is pretty impressive, combined with the Bravia engine 2, Snapdragon 800 processor and the well built in G lens to not make it look and feel over bulky, this phone seems balanced. What if Nokia switched to an Android ecosystem? well, that's a different story. No doubt I would jump on a pureview 808. I've previously had a Nokia 920...the WP8 ecosystem, the over lack of apps and the lag just by loading an app was just too much for me. I currently have a Note 2, was gonna get the Note 3 however the camera for that is exactly like an S4. To each their own. But I would never switch to an ecosystem that is dying slowly. Apps is where it's at for most handset users. 1 upvote By MistyFog (3 months ago) The fastest growing OS is dying? And how is that relevant to this photography forum? 3 upvotes By Boerseuntjie (3 months ago) With Microsoft proposal deal to buy Nokia for 7.6 Billion, I don't think Nokia will ever have Android. Comment edited 2 times, last edit 38 seconds after posting 4 upvotes By otoro (3 months ago) Sadly another blind/misguided Android fan-boy. I currently have 4 phones on rotation running iOS, Android, Blackberry, and Window Phone. I put Android in the back of the pack (tie with Blackberry). Fact, Android is atrocious at optimizing its hardware. My Nokia Lumia 800 running single core CPU is a lot more responsive than my duo-Core Galaxy S3. In fact, I would give the S3 away for free if I don't need it for testing. Before you go off, I was never a big MS fan. I got the very first Nexus running first version of Android. In the end, it became apparent to me that Android is just an OS running on very inefficient kernal. Window Phone and iOS show respective companies' experience in OS area as reflected by their ability to do more with less hardware (and not leave messy trace in memory that drags down the phone to the point you have to reboot the Android...reboot!...that's crazy) 3 upvotes By Infms (3 months ago) Die hard Android fans are very quick to point out the "inferior" specs of other platform's devices, forgetting that these platforms don't need quad-core CPUs coupled with 8GB RAM to run smoothly. Comment edited 46 seconds after posting 1 upvote By kriztian (3 months ago) I am not impressed at all. When I first saw the ruomors about "the incredible Honami" my expectations rose high. But now it´s like: ow! thats all? It looks more like an average 8 megapixel smartphone to me. Its definetly no threat to Nokia 1020. 3 upvotes By fotografer (3 months ago) Well, the usual moaners and groaners are out in force again as per usual. Yes images are a little soft but I think these are very promising for a mobile phone. The only phone it seems that outperforms this is the new Nokia 1020. 1 upvote By Hobbit13 (3 months ago) I would prefer the Samsung S4 photos as well. Those look less processed, more natural. Resolution might be a bit lower, but the difference is not that large. 0 upvotes By CyberAngel (3 months ago) What? No OIS? Really??? What was Sony thinking? I think dpreview should compare P&S and these, 1 upvote By ET2 (3 months ago) I would rather like to see studio shots compared to other phones. It's hard to make judgment without side by side comparison. When are studio shots coming? 6 upvotes By neo_nights (3 months ago) Wasn't this phone supposed to use a new technology (new JPEG engine, AFAIR) that'd improve IQ? Well, I don't see any improvements. ISO400 is really bad, IMHO. 1 upvote By OvinceZ (3 months ago) The market research must have told the phone makers that people didn't want thick phones. So gone was the 808 effort to install a decent camera in a phone. Sony offers more pixels but not stellar IQ. The images look ok in the middle but not on the sides or corners. 0 upvotes By vetsmelter (3 months ago) Agree. Can't understand this tendency to flatness keeps continuing ... it seems that people are not productive enough to know how to benefit from a keyboard and true multitasking to honour that quad core and 2GB RAM. 0 upvotes By jmeyersnv (3 months ago) I am looking forward to a comparison of the same images taken by this new Z1 as well as the Nokia 1020 and the HTC1. 0 upvotes By Robert Morris (3 months ago) Not bad for a phone. If it's all I got with me than that's my fault. 1 upvote By Clyde Thomas (3 months ago) What justifies calling this lens a "G" other than marketing? So blurry on the corners. Only the center/midfields sharp. The Mind of Minolta would be embarrassed at this, Sony trampling their good reputation at every opportunity. 0 upvotes By zodiacfml (3 months ago) To me, it looks alright for a phone, as though we only achieved higher MP while maintaining the current pixel level quality. Image sharpening is hideous though. 0 upvotes By utomo99 (3 months ago) In my opinion the image quality need to be improved a lot, especially on low light/ indoor. 2 upvotes By thx1138 (3 months ago) I've lost faith Sony actually can give us any better than this in a phone. To me it's still rubbish and the noise is evident even in this easy low ISO lighting and the over processing woeful. It only looks decent when down sampled to around 2MP and even then I can noise an artefacts in the sky. Sony uses a lot of fancy acronyms like EXMOR and G series but it's all hype. This sensor would have been excellent with 6-8MP and much more natural jpg engine. 1 upvote By siberstorm27 (3 months ago) I've already seen dozens of other Z1 pics from various sources. These just corroborate how awful the images are. Some of the grainiest haziest images around. Even bright daylight shots are very grainy, like taking a pic of a textured photograph. The contrast is too high in some scenes and way too low and muddy in others. The images always look dingy. Not a single clean image available. Blurry and hazy. Man is the grain GIGANTIC in those night shots. This would be competitive on phones 3 years ago. The waterproofing likely screwed up the lens quality like on the Xperia Z, and for sure screwed up the microphone quality. 20MP on a 1/2.3" is just awful as well. 0 upvotes By Tony Bologna (3 months ago) I had high hopes for this phone but it appears what the RX100 did for compacts the Z1 will NOT do for cell phones. My Galaxy S III is giving me fits and i was hoping this could be a contender. Won't go iPhone 5S because of the smaller screen. Maybe HTC One? Kuddos for DPReview for getting these up so quickly! 0 upvotes By MDGColorado (3 months ago) At this point, arguing against this phrase is a losing battle. Think of it as another term for in-camera cropping. And yes, it is misleading. Comment edited 3 minutes after posting 2 upvotes By Lars Rehm (3 months ago) to be fair, while it's a crop on most phones the Sony system is a little more advanced and uses a sophisticated algorithm that creates usable results up to certain zoom levels. 3 upvotes By Lan (3 months ago) Those samples look really odd at 100%. Is there something wrong with the demosaicing? 0 upvotes By Menneisyys (3 months ago) Yup, it indeed seems to be rather bad. See for example http://connect.dpreview.com/sample-galleries/5820745257/sony-xperia-z1-sample-gallery/2436893269/fullscreen?back=http%3A%2F%2Fconnect.dpreview.com%2Fpost%2F7903063822%2Fsony-xperia-z1-sample-gallery%23embeddedSampleGallery5820745257 I've created a crop of it at http://www.flickr.com/photos/33448355@N07/9714629514/ - the jaggies are REALLY bad. 0 upvotes By Markol (3 months ago) Far less impressive than I would have thought. Even for a 1/2.3" sensor these are quite crappy. 1 upvote By Lars Rehm (3 months ago) To a degree I would argue that is the point, A well-exposed 5MP with decent dynamic range is all I would need from a mobile device but then In only post my pictures online. 3 upvotes By Markol (3 months ago) Sure, that's the declared idea of Nokia's oversampling and I practically only use the 5MP mode on my 808, but is it what Sony has in mind? 1 upvote By Lars Rehm (3 months ago) Sony don't declare it that way but the fact that the default mode is 8MP sort of indicates that the 20MP mode is not what they'd expect you to use for normal shooting. 4 upvotes By absentaneous (3 months ago) I got a cheap chinese phone recently. well, the cheapest I could find running android 4.1 and I took some pictures and I thought well it's kind of crap quality (compared to what I am used to get from "real" cameras) but then I thought what did I expect for that money (and tiny sensor and lens) anyway. but after looking at the image of this phone/camera which costs about 5 times more than what I paid for my phone I really think my phone's camera to be actually amazing. it's only 5Mpix but not at all worse than this. chinese are the new japanese!!! Comment edited 43 seconds after posting 1 upvote By JKP (3 months ago) Had to create a new account today just to say that? Anyways, to me the quality seems okay. Nothing special really. The pics are not very sharp for some reason. 2 upvotes By Menneisyys (3 months ago) "Anyways, to me the quality seems okay. Nothing special really. The pics are not very sharp for some reason." The HX series effect. They produce exactly the same, not very good quality images - and considerably worse ones than those of, say, the Panasonic ZS30 or any comparable shooter. 0 upvotes By Tonkotsu Ramen (3 months ago) mr rehm, where would you "rank" the image quality of this phone if you compare it to the iphone 5, galaxy note 2, htc one? So far, the results don't look too different from what i can acheive from my note 2, which is a bit underwhelming. 0 upvotes By Lars Rehm (3 months ago) I a actually quite pleased with the X1's camera. And that's not because of the pixel-level quality, that's horrible like on all phones. But if you look at the pictures at screen size they look quite nice and sharp with decent dynamic range for a phone. Also, the OIS works really well and it goes up to ISO 3200 (apparently even 6400 in some special mode, that I have not yet tested), so you can actually still take pictures in dark scenes. The Note II would just produce a very underexposed image in those situations. The HTC One is quite similar to the Z1 in so far that is creates good overall exposures even in low light. But I'd prefer 20 crappy MP over 5 crappy MP. At least you can scale down and have got some more data to play with. iPhone 5 is a generation behind, too. Let's see what Apple comes up with at their announcement tomorrow. 4 upvotes By Tonkotsu Ramen (3 months ago) thank you i too hope to see apple push the bar for for mobile photography, but I much prefer android. Would you say the Z1 is the current "top" android? I'm looking for something to replace my note 2 and (in some situations) my dedicated Canon S90 P&S. I was hoping this Z1 would be able to produce comparable results. 0 upvotes By tompabes2 (3 months ago) I don't know... they look soft even when they are downsized... really, there's someting strange here. The detail just isn't there when you look at 100% crops, and you can't invent what is not in the original image. Maybe the noise was really too much and the NR is really too aggressive. The output is not so bad at full size with other phones, and when you downsize the images they look sharp, but with the Z1 they simply remain soft... but let's wait for studio comparisons. 0 upvotes By Lars Rehm (3 months ago) @ 0lf apologies, confused that with the LG G2 that landed on my desk today, the X1 does not have an OIS. 2 upvotes By The Scurvy Dog of PR (3 months ago) Didn't I read that Sony was getting out of the Cell Phone biz? 0 upvotes By headfirst (3 months ago) you probably read that Panasonic are getting out, Sony's mobile phone business is growing. 1 upvote By Lars Rehm (3 months ago) seems like they are doing all the opposite. The way they were showing off the Z1 at IFA would indicate that they're really planning to attack. 0 upvotes By ageha (3 months ago) Panasonic is still in. The world is a bit bigger than you might realize. 0 upvotes By Chev Chelios (3 months ago) Is it just me or do those images look like 20.7 MP of oversharpened mush? Not bad for a phone though (I suppose). 2 upvotes

Preparing For Life's Little Eventualities
Even the more spontaneous and adventurous among us will admit that sometimes planning is essential. This can mean the difference between being prepared for emergencies and finding yourself in financial hot water. There are so many things that can crop up at any given moment that it is almost impossible to be prepared for every occurrence. Still, it makes sense to at least have a sense of where we plan to go and what we can do to get there.
Saving is one of the best ways to prepare for unexpected developments. These can include medical emergencies and the loss of a job. Any long- or short-term plan should be based on the ability to save. Even financial experts agree that a small amount should be put away on a regular basis.
Planning for the future is especially important when there are young children to consider. Plans for college also necessitate putting aside money or investing in some type of venture. In fact, investing in itself often means turning to savings to acquire funds.
Finding a Place to Live
Finding great rental properties is important for families and businesses. Property management companies can make recommendations based on specific needs such as the size of the family or the type of business. Portland Property Management is one such company that has developed a solid reputation.
Since property is an investment, it is important to deal with companies that will be fully engaged in their upkeep. This way, renters know that they won't have to worry about constant repairs or other maintenance issues. These can get in the way of plans for the future.
Playing things by ear can be fun, but a responsible approach offer protection when it counts the most. Being prepared is simply a matter of using good sense.

Inside Mount blinds or shades are contained within your window frame. Our Natural Woven Shades require at least a 1 1/2" frame depth for Inside Mount. You may prefer Inside Mount because it provides a finished, built-in look without covering your molding. Inside Mount also allows more clearance if you plan to layer Drapery, a Valance or Cornice over your shades. Before choosing Inside Mount, be sure to check your windows for "squareness", since Inside Mounted shades will not operate properly or hang attractively if windows are not "square." Click Measure Guide for details.
Outside Mount blinds or shades are mounted on your wall or molding (rather than within the confines of your window frame). Even if your windows have enough frame depth (1 1/2") for Inside Mount, you may prefer the extra room darkening and privacy Outside Mount provides, since greater window coverage reduces light leak at shade edges.
Slim Headrail Requires less depth to mount shades flush with window frame. Perfect for French doors and windows with shallow frames. Flat Fold shade style not available as Outside mount.

2-on-1 Headrail Integrating two separate, independently operating shades on a single valance and headrail can make side-by-side windows look like a single unit, while providing more light control and flexibility in operating your shades, since each has its own lift cord. This upgrade is also recommended for large windows and/or heavier woven materials.
Specify the left and right width for each side. Total width of the left and right blind must equal the overall width. 2-on-1 Headrail is required for shades greater than 96" wide.

Loop Control: Allows you to raise your shade smoothly with little effort. This feature allows for even placement of your shade when it is partially raised; Once properly installed, this cord guide eliminates dangling lift cords for added child and pet safety. Your cord loop length depends on the height of your shade; standard length is approximately 2/3 the height of the shade or you may choose a longer or shorter length depending on your specific needs by selecting custom loop length.
Top Down/Bottom Up (Flat Fold style): Maintain your privacy while you let in sunshine by lowering shades from the top, or raise them in traditional fashion from the bottom. Includes lift cords on both left and right sides of shade for added convenience and operating ease.
NOTE: Top Down/Bottom Up upgrade is not available in combination with Loop Control or 2 on 1 Headrail upgrades.

I wanted to do Tennessee and looked at several marathons but this seemed like a nice small marathon and that is exactly what it was. I really liked the low-key atmosphere, it was all about runners. The marathon had less than 100 runners, but the aid stations were just great&well-stocked and well placed. The race start and finish are in about the same place&.about 100 feet apart&and it starts at Union University which is a local smaller religion-based university. The gym is the location of the Expo, plus near the race start and it is the race finish line. Nice amount of food at the end and a great Finishers medal, really attractive and well made. I gave spectators a 5 even though there were none and in a race this size I really dont expect any. The volunteers were great even for a slow runner like me. They hung in there. PROS: The course has some rolling hills but is basically kind of flat except for a long uphill right at the end. The aid stations are well stocked and well positioned throughout the course, about every 2 miles. They even had a porta potty or two out on the marathon course which for such a small race was a surprise. The university gym has showers that are right at the finish line. So if you are going to travel after the race, it is very easy to shower and change. If you have a gym lock take it with you and you can grab one of the locker room lockers as your secure gear drop. Any lodging is close because the city is not too big. I stayed at the Highland Place B&B and was just a couple of miles from the start. If you fly into Memphis, it is about an 80 minute drive to Jackson. CONS: No major complaint other than late in the race around mile 21, there were some road markings for another race that let me and a couple of other runners make a wrong turn. It was my fault because on this one stretch of road they wanted the runners to go with the flow of traffic, but I am not comfortable doing that on an open road, so I went against the flow of traffic and that is what enabled me to see the other races arrow and make the wrong turn. The university is easy to find but the gym is not something that jumps out at you. I followed the cars and people with bib pickup bags and figured it out. OVERALL: If you like a smaller race, this is one you want to run. Nice scenery, never boring, and relatively flat.
Ok, so the positive: beautiful course, nice medal at the end, water/Gatorade every two miles and plenty of porta potties, and it goes to a great charity.....and the list ends there. This is a TINY race and seems to only be declining as the years go on and I think there's a reason. While this was my first full marathon, I have done several other half marathons. There were only 96 finishers this year and by mile 7 or 8 I rarely saw anyone anywhere, which isn't a big deal, but it's weird and not what I'm used to. There were very few signs posted for where to pick up your packet and no signs at the end telling where the food was. I later learned it was in he gym but someone should have pointed me in that direction. You shouldn't have to ask about that. Oh! Then, at the beginning the person to start the race wasn't even there until 6:50, 10 minutes before the race and NOTHING to get you excited. I've never been in a race that didn't have music or something in the beginning. Now, I will say, I'm not the fastest person out there. In fact, I finished dead last (though way before the time limit), so maybe I shouldn't have a say on this. But if asked to do it again, I'd pass.
This is a hot race...best part of this race was the cold towel at the end. I understand this is a fund raiser but the organizers should spend a few $ on the runners. 1. ICE, weather is hot and cold water on the course would be nice. 2. Gatoraid was only at half the stops, this is a HOT race. Medal: Not worth saving sticker on plastic. Either upgrade or don't bother. 4. Post race: NO cold beverages, no salty snacks...did I mention this was a hot race?
The organizers and volunteers were just tremendous! So, well prepared and so well done. I did the Half Marathon and the other runners were also so encouraging. Awesome experience!
I ran the half marathon in Jackson a number of times, but it never fit into my schedule to do the full until this year. And even though the weather was really warm for me, and I bonked pretty bad, I loved running in my hometown. It's only hilly depending on how you define hills. I like the up and down to give my legs a little break from the mainly flat course. It is mostly rural, and this is where I train, so the lack of spectators is not an issue. The race organization has been much better over the prior two or three years and I expect will only get better. Try this one next year as a warm up to another race.
10th marathon, 6th state in my quest for 50/50. I train on the hills of Northern KY and felt fairly prepared for this race. The mixed reviews on the hills were the big question mark for me. Some have said they are just rolling easy hills, others have said they are brutal. I was mentally prepared for both. As it were, with the HEAT (it hit high 70s/low 80s by mid race), the hills on this course became brutal. On a cool day, this course would be challenging, but with the heat, it's a rock polisher. As for everything else with the event, it's one of the loneliest races I've ever run. There is no one on the course other than the fraternities and sororities at the aid stations (which were good). Medal is terrible (there are some 5ks with better). The course is open and easy to get around for spectators (which was bizarre because other than my wife I saw NO OTHER supporters on the course!). Post race food is very average. Tech shirt is nice, yet unspectacular. I would not recommend, nor run this race again. They need to move this race to an earlier date, the heat the last two years are going to keep people away.
The race director evidently read the reviews from previous years. All items that were not up to par from previous years were corrected this year. The finisher's shirt was a first-rate, technical T. The finisher's medal was very nice and the results were promptly posted. I enjoyed the race, with its rolling terrain and nice views. There were not a lot of spectators but this did not bother me. Like previous comments note, the cows were the main spectators. The water stations were spaced about every two miles with excellent volunteers at the helm. Things cannot be done about the weather, but this was a HOT one. To compensate for the temps, volunteers handed out cold, wet towels at the finish. THANKS!! The finisher's area was well stocked, with post-run food and drink. I did have a good time talking to other runners/Maniacs during the run. People were very friendly and this was a well organized event. Only recommendation I can add is to have a gel packet or two added to a few water points later in the course. I would recommend this to all, from the first-timer to the Marathon Maniac looking for a nice, smaller event in a great location.
I signed up for this race due to the reviews from past years. This was my first marathon. The course had a few slight hills and nice scenery, and was marked very well. There were volunteers stationed at intersections to direct runners and traffic. The parking was close to the start/finish area. The aid stations were every two miles, and stocked with orange slices, water and Gatorade. The volunteers were very encouraging despite standing in the hot sun (the temperature was unseasonably high). All of the above plus a nice medal, technical shirt and the results posted promptly. A great stress-free experience for a first marathon.
It was brutally hot. Still, this was a very fine event. The support staff and volunteers were some of the best I've encountered in many years of running. The shirt and medallion were first-rate. I look forward to this event next year.
This was my first marathon, and with the high temps, I am thankful to have finished! The organizers did a fantastic job of listening to past runners' suggestions in ways to improve. I was happy to see a tech shirt and especially happy to receive a medal at the finish. The course support was fantastic! The volunteers at the water stations were very encouraging. The water stations had plenty of water, sports drinks and even orange slices! At the finish, we were given an iced towel, which was awesome considering the temp was a near 85 degrees! The only negative of the race was the weather, and that is out of anyone's control; you just have to adjust expectations and goals a little! One suggestion I have is a possible earlier start time. :)

Newell on Steam 'bottleneck', wants to open up publishing to everyone
Valve founder Gabe Newell recently gave an hour-long lecture at the University of Texas. You can watch it all here – and I recommend that you do as it's very interesting. At the 42-minute mark Newell discusses his vision for a Steam marketplace free from the bottleneck of publisher requests, and why he would like to take Valve out of that equation altogether, allowing content creators to publish freely in an open market. Think of a big open-invite market stall with no middleman.

I used to daydream in the shower, letting my mind fog over like the bathroom mirror fogged with steam. Then I became aware of how much water I was wasting with every extra minute I stood there. Now it's as if I shower at the Bates Motel: I'm in and out quickly. Many of us mindlessly waste water, either because we are just fogging out or because we really don't know any better. A home-based education on water is what we need. And here's why: Our homes are where we use the most water in our lives. The average household in America uses about 400 gallons of water per day. That can easily be cut to less than 100 gallons by doing a few simple things. Here are some tips culled from The Green Blue Book.
Live Earth is very proud to partner with Walking for Water, a school-based program to raise awareness around World Water Day on March 22nd. Participating students are sponsored by friends and family and commit to walking 6 kilometers (3.73 miles), carrying 6 liters (1.59 gallons) of water in backpacks to raise funds to finance water projects in developing countries that need it most.
In preparation for the walk, teachers and guest lecturers educate the children about the importance of clean water and adequate sanitation in developing countries.
We are proud to highlight the wonderful Friends of Live Earth Run for Water events being planned around the world for April 18, 2010.
The Friends of Live Earth: Run for Water Oklahoma is a weekend festival focusing on water issues, eco-friendliness and "greening" that will be held in the Oklahoma City's Adventure District in Oklahoma City. The purpose is to bring education and awareness of how precious our natural resources are -- especially water.
Metro Vancouver is promoting the use of the city's wonderful tap water instead of purchasing the very unecofriendly bottled water. According to officials in the area, Vancouver is hoping to reduce the city's bottled water consumption by 20% at the end of the year. This is all part of their Tap Water Campaign.
I spent October 2009 doing a super-intensive water and sanitation course in Bolivia, organized by the Mobile School for Water and Sanitation -- EMAS. There, I met Samuel Ito Cartajena, aged 39, and his wife Hermelinda Yapanqui de Ito. Together with their 16 year-old daughter, they live in Juliaca, a city in the Puno region in southern Peru. Samuel was one of our teachers, and Hermelinda cooked for the twenty of us. This is their story.
Right now I am wearing 5,178 gallons of water. It took 569 gallons to grow the cotton and manufacture the material for my t-shirt, 1,247 gallons for my sneakers, 2,866 gallons for my blue jeans, 244 gallons for my socks, and 252 gallons for my boxers.
Through what we wear, consume, and use on an annual basis each of us in the United States on average is responsible for 656,000 gallons of water. We use more than ten times as much water per day as someone in the developing world.
In December, 21-year old Katie Spotz set off on the adventure of a lifetime — a solo row across the Atlantic Ocean! She is now over halfway between Africa and South America. After 2,500 miles and 70-100 days alone at sea, she will become the youngest person ever to row an ocean solo and the first American to row from Africa to South America.
The Rope pump
In the water sector, as elsewhere, good ideas can be surprisingly old. One such old idea is the rope pump, which is over 2000 years old and was used in ancient China. A rope pump consists of a pipe that reaches down to the water, a rope or chain through the tube, washers attached to the rope that fit snugly inside the tube, and a wheel on top to draw the rope with washers through the pipe. The water is held between the washers in the pipe, and is pulled to the surface.

When I say "water tank," what image is conjured up in your mind? Is it one of those large black plastic tanks which you see so frequently in developing countries, usually perched on top of a small tower or on a roof? Millions of those are used around the world, so that image would be very appropriate. When I say "water tank," however, I think of something else entirely. I think of ferrocement: the best, strongest, durable, cheapest, and most versatile construction material I know. And I think of the water tanks I have built myself, using it.
