Factor 2c. Low level format of a card
You do not need to low level format a Flash media card. They are non mechanical and have wear leveller controllers so low level format doesn't do what we expect it does to mechanical devices like hard disks.
You can low level (binary format) a card but that's a story for another day.
Most cameras - do a fast quick high level format. The menu to format your media is quite clearly labelled and about three menu clicks on the camera. It takes all of 3 secs or something like that to process.

Bride and Groom Kissing - Wikimedia CommonsDriver's licenses expire. Professional licenses expire. Even dog licenses expire. But marriage licenses are for life! On the one hand, this is kind of the whole point of marriage, right? That you can't just walk away from each other, that you are committed, even when things get tough, even when your kids are keeping you up all night, even when you've been so busy at work that you've taken each other for granted for months at a time, even when you've aged beyond all recognition since the day you met and fell in love. There's a comfort to knowing that you don't have to decide to stay together: You are together. Period.
• My Husband Isn't Interested in Sex with Me •
But on the other hand... Would we be less likely to take each other for granted if we did have to decide to stay together? We're not talking annual renewal, a la Heidi Klum and Seal (because look how well that worked out for them), but rather every seven years. (Did you know that human cells renew every seven years? So you are quite literally a different person by this point!) Every seven years you'd have to ask your partner all over again, "Will you be mine, to have and to hold, for another seven years?" Imagine how awesome it would feel, seven years into your marriage, to learn that your partner says yes all over again.
• Why Can't You Decide About Kids AFTER You Marry? •
And if your partner decided not to re-up the contract? Well, maybe you just dodged a bullet. Would that really be so much worse than staying in a so-so marriage for the rest of your life just because you said you would?

AUBURN, Ala. - The second-ranked Auburn equestrian team debuted the spring season with an 11-8 win over Delaware State, in a meet that saw two riders break all-time wins records. Senior Jennifer Waxman won her head-to-head matchup in equitation over fences to improve to 34 career wins and move past Maggie McAlary's 33 win from 2008-12. Senior Christina Lin also claimed the career spot for wins in equitation over fences, surpassing Lindsay Portela with 32 victories.
The Tigers (7-1, 2-1 SEC) jumped out to a 4-1 lead after equitation over fences, a discipline that has been the team's bread and butter all season. The mark improves the squad to 30-10 in fences this season for a .750 winning percentage. Waxman tied her season-high score of 88, joining Quincy Hayes' 87 as the team's two 80-plus marks. Freshman Ashley Foster got her first win of her career with a 72, while Demi Stiegler rounded out the wins for Auburn.
Delaware State got the best of Auburn in horsemanship, earning three points for Hornets and to bring the team score within two points, 6-4. Lucy Igoe and Katsy Leeman were the winners for the Tigers.
The Hornets maintained their lead through reining, tying Auburn 2-2 for the event. Auburn led 8-6. Griffin Knight and Stephanie Rucci remained undefeated in reining, with Knight picking up her sixth win of the season, while Rucci grabbed her third.
In the final discipline of the meet, Auburn edged DSU 3-2 in equitation on the flat. In her first collegiate meet, Foster pulled in two wins with a strong 82 scored. Piper Donnelly had the high score for the Tigers with an 87, while Lin rounded out the Auburn victories en route to a new school record.
Auburn will be back in action on Saturday to complete the two-meet road trip against No. 7 Oklahoma State. Meet time is set for 9 a.m. CT.

Beyond Exile: Day by Day Armageddon
Armies of undead have risen up across the U.S. and around the globe;there is no safe haven from the diseased corpses hungering for human flesh. But in the heat of a Texas wasteland, a small band of survivors attempt to counter the millions closing in around them.
Day by day, the handwritten journal entries of one man caught in a worldwide cataclysm capture
the desperation—and the will to survive—as he joins forces with a handful of refugees to battle
soulless enemies both human and inhuman from inside an abandoned strategic missile facility.
But in the world of the undead, is mere survival enough?

Read an Excerpt
23 May
I started feeling physically better the day of the twenty-first. The attack from the raiders had really busted me up. I got out of bed, drank a gallon of water (over the course of a few hours) and stretched a bit. I asked John what it looked like topside. He didn't want to say much of anything so I followed him up to the control room to look for myself. The previous night John had rushed out in the darkness and pulled the bag off one of the cameras and dashed back inside. There were undead about and he didn't wish to be out for long amongst them.
More undead inhabit the area around... see more

thumbs up!
I downloaded some free software (costs you your email address) to try and create some semi professional looking designs (at least better than my drawings). I like zoom-zoom's flame idea so I'll play with that awhile too.
Does anyone know the 2 fonts that are used in RunningAHEAD?
Running: Franklin Gothic Heavy Italic
AHEAD: Verdana Bold
I've got a fever...
On your deathbed, you won't wish that you'd spent more time at the office. But you will wish that you'd spent more time running. Because if you had, you wouldn't be on your deathbed.
I asked Eric the same question and here's the reply:
Running: Franklin Gothic Heavy Italic
AHEAD: Verdana Bold
2013 goals - one goal: finish my first marathon - 10/13/13
done! 5:50!
Just a thought - but consider forgetting about the ".com" in your designs - look at the logo at the top of this page (no .com). Think about the Yahoo logo - the MSN logo - the Google logo - the anything logo. ".com" doesn't need to be there. I know there is ".net" and ".whatever" - but I just think you may be more creative if you drop the requirement to include ".com" .... just a thought... I will go back to being a spectator now....
I decided that if I'm going to call myself a runner, I should probably run.

Nautical Accents
A key to successful nautical room decor, beyond having nautical artwork as a focal point, are the smaller accents helping to build a room's charm to epic delight. Although most accents are typically smaller pieces, their undisputed charm tends to cast a delightful character over an area. Try hanging smaller items such as sextants, ships bells, clocks, or hourglasses and calendars to balance out larger items such as porthole mirrors or ship's wheels. The tables, doors and drawers also have their own place with decorative door stops, compasses, and nautical knobs. If you are having a party giving out nautical keychains is always great fun! Of course at the end of the day when it is time to retire there is nautical bedding to top it off.

Gayle Anderson was live in Irwindale with a preview of what's new with the Rose Parade floats.
Rose Parade is brought to you by Honda and Covered California
Rose Parade
Rose Parade Preview #5 – Tuesday's Float Judging Deadline
by Gayle Anderson
KTLA 5 Reporter
Rose Parade Preview- The New Rose Parade Floats
Story Summary
Rose Parade Preview- The New Rose Parade Floats
Gayle Anderson was live in Irwindale continuing her series of reports previewing what's new and happening with the Rose Parade Floats at the 125th Rose Parade presented by Honda Wednesday, January 1st, 2014 at 8 a.m.
This year's theme, "Dreams Come True" features a spectacular display of floral floats, marching bands, and high stepping equestrian units. The Rose Parade began in 1890 when members of Pasadena's Valley Hunt Club covered their horse drawn carriages with fresh cut flowers from their garden in celebration of the mild winter weather of the West. Today, the Rose Parade's breathtaking floats tout the world's rare and exotic flowers and showcase the best in animated technology.
Curbside viewing of the 2014 Rose Parade in designated areas is FREE and available first-come, first-served. Pasadena city ordinance allows the occupancy of curbside space along the parade route beginning at noon on the day before the parade. Grandstand tickets are available through Sharp Seating Company, the official grandstand seating provider, through Tuesday, December 31st. Every person, regardless of age, must have a ticket to sit in the grandstands. However, if a child is two years of age or younger, he/she may sit on an adult's lap. If not seated on an adult's lap, each child must have a ticket. For tickets, please call (626) 795-4171 or visit their website.
The Rose Parade, along with the Rose Bowl Game are part of the Pasadena Tournament of Roses, a celebration more than a century old of flowers, music, and sports held annually on New Year's Day. The Tournament is more than just a parade and football game. It's America's New Year Celebration, a greeting to the world on the first day of the year, and a salute to the community spirit and love of pageantry that have thrived in Pasadena for more than a century. The Tournament of Roses Association, a volunteer organization dedicated to presenting an internationally recognized New Year's celebration, supplies 935 volunteer members who contribute about 80,000 hours of combined manpower each year. Each volunteer is assigned to one of 35 committees, with responsibilities ranging from selecting parade participants to directing visitors on New Year's Day, to serving hamburgers to band members at the end of the parade route, to giving presentations about the Tournament to community groups. Nicknamed "White Suiters" because of the distinctive white uniform every volunteer wears, these community-spirited men and women give up their evenings, weekends and holidays to ensure the success of the Parade and Game. A small full-time staff provides support and continuity to the volunteer organization.
Public float viewing is held rain or shine at three locations: at the Rosemont Pavilion and Brookside Pavilion, located across from the Rose Bowl Stadium, and the Rose Palace in Pasadena. The Rosemont Pavilion is located at 700 Seco Street in Pasadena. Accessible to disabled visitors, Brookside Pavilion is located at Lot I on the south side of the Rose Bowl Stadium. The Rose Palace is at 835 South Raymond Avenue in Pasadena.

JMU's Thiagaraj Collects CAA Women's Golfer of the Week Accolades – Oct. 2
RICHMOND, Va. (October 2, 2013) – James Madison sophomore Karishma Thiagaraj was awarded the CAA Women's Golfer of the Week honor after earning her first top-five finish of her career at the UNCG Starmount Forest Classic.
Thiagaraj tied for fifth place at 4-over 217 after back-to-back rounds of 73 on the par 71, 6,265-yard Starmount Forest Country Club. She opened the tournament carding an even-par 71 despite a triple bogey on her final hole, as she also posted an eagle on the par-5 14th, four birdies and three bogeys in the round. Thiagaraj started four over through 10 holes, but came in with a pair of birdies and no bogeys in her final eight holes. The sophomore led the Dukes to a sixth-place team finish.
Among other noteworthy marks last week, William & Mary's Kelly McGovern led the Tribe at the Penn State Nittany Lion Invitational. She finished tied for 11th overall at 224 (+8) carding 73-72-79 leading the W&M team to a seventh place finish on the par 72, 6,262-yard PSU Blue Couse. Her second round score of 72 was the third round of par or better so far this season for the freshman. She is already tied for the third-most par-or-better rounds in a career ever at W&M – three in one season is the second-best mark ever, behind only Morgan Stepanek's four in 2009-10.
UNCW's Lori Beth Adams also carded 224 (+11) while participating at the Windy City Collegiate Championship in Highland Park, Ill. The senior carded 73-77-74 earning a tied for 41st place on the par-71, 6,108-yard Northmoor Country Club course.

I think I started downloading the beta but stopped for some reason.
Are you getting Gotham City Impostors and for what console?
I'm getting it for the Xbox Live & Steam(PC)
I think I started downloading the beta but stopped for some reason.
I got the beta for Steam. (When I got the rare chance to use an uber fast internet connection.) Enjoying it so far, a few bugs here and there but easily overlooked considering that it's a beta.
For every two minutes of glamour, there are eight hours of hard work."
Hey this game's pretty cool. Combination of old school mobility with new school bad design like leveling up and other stupid crap. Still fun tho.
I heard it's fun and gameplay is similar to Team Fortress 2. I'm not sure if the reference is as accurate though. Would love to give it a try via the beta.

American interests often trump religious freedom abroad. Take our oil-rich ally Saudi Arabia, for example, probably the most theocratic country in the Middle East. Our government doesn't loudly protest Saudi Arabia's denial of basic human rights to women, as it imposes Islamic law on its citizens. Although 15 of the 19 hijackers responsible for 9/11 came from Saudi Arabia, we attacked Iraq even though Saddam Hussein had nothing to do with it. We attacked Iraq because, well, I'm still not sure.
While I often don't know what we should do about complex foreign policy, I do know what we should not do either abroad or at home. We should not tell citizens or governments how to interpret holy books. Regardless of race, color, creed, gender, or sexual orientation, I think we can all come up with many good reasons to condemn suicide bombings. Unfortunately, our government came up with a bad reason. Presumably after delving deeply into nuances in the Koran, our State Department pronounced recent Iraq suicide bombers to be "enemies of Islam."

Oh, how the mighty have fallen. The original Ape Escape was a charming, enjoyable and innovative platformer, that was among the first games to use the dual analog sticks on the then revolutionary Dualshock controller for the PlayStation One. Following the trilogy of successful and enjoyable platformers across the PS1 and PS2, these siren-capped monkeys seemed to forget about Darwin's laws and devolve into spin-offs and mini game compilations, such as Ape Escape Academy for the PSP. Redemption for the once quirky and well-known franchise could have been at hand with this latest attempted revival - Ape Escape for the PlayStation 3.
The story is simple enough, though quaintly presented with some good quality Japanese animation. While the hero sits in his riverside house munching on pizza and watching the news, the crazy space monkeys invade earth and start causing their usual mischief. Apparently, the monkeys have been 'summoned' by these two girls and their grandmother, the latter who is looking for a space monkey named Specter. Because the protagonist is SO much more athletic than the girls, he's enlisted to catch the monkeys so that the girls can work their way to Specter, using a device that rather uncannily resembles a Move controller but transforms into the Monkey Net. It's not going to win any awards, but the story is quaint, feel good and serviceable enough for anyone happy to accept the anime sensibilities.
Just as the original Ape Escape was the pioneer and innovator for dual analog control, Sony had a golden opportunity to do the same with this PS3 iteration, possibly creating an innovative action-platformer with the Move controller. Instead, Sony has completely fluffed their chance to do so by releasing a rail-shooter packed with three mini games. And just like the majority of PlayStation Move exclusive titles out there, the title proves that there is very little wrong with the technology. No, instead it's another in a long line of titles devoid of substance and in excess of appeal to the lowest common denominator. Rather than taking an innovative approach with the technology and showing how it can appeal to everyone, both the casuals and the core, Ape Escape does nothing that hasn't been done in the first wave of casual Wii titles. And in this case, there are a few crucial factors that prevent it from even being a good title for the casual market...
As a rail-shooter, there are some nice ideas. Unfortunately, none of them come together coherently. Spread across fifteen levels, your job is to catch all the monkeys that come running at you to steal your bananas (the currency for your health and score bonuses), while also warding off numerous obstacles, such as UFOs, robots and random level specific paraphernalia. Each level is driven by the mini-boss battle finale to catch Specter, who is actually an imposter the first fourteen times. Overall though, the fifteen levels don't actually spread more than half a dozen locales, so things become pretty familiar after a while. And despite being full of colour and vibrance, the levels are rather dull and plodding affairs.
Playing solely with the Move controller, it acts as a couple of different weapons in one. While you are standing still, you have the Monkey Net, a slingshot and Monkey Vacuum. While moving, you have a fan (to deflect projectiles and beat up stationary obstacles), the slingshot and a device that turns enemy obstacles into bananas. So essentially, you're ferried from point to point, stopping at each to catch the wave of monkeys thrown at you. At these points, you use the controller to catch the monkeys as they come hurtling towards you with the intent of stealing your bananas. And it's game if you lose them all. In between catching the monkeys in the net, you can use the slingshot to collect bananas that are around, or recover stolen ones if you're quick enough. The Monkey Vacuum and banana converter both act as screen clearing 'last resorts', but are limited in their use until you find the batteries that power them.
So if the technology works, what's so wrong with the game? It's often a horrendously slow, plodding and frustrating experience, where the five or so hours that it takes to complete seem so much longer. The pacing of the game is completely off, so instead of coming across like a rollercoaster, it comes off more like a drive through heavy and inconsistent traffic. While it is possible to learn some patterns, you're never likely to feel comfortable with some of the more dynamic sequences. And for a game that's meant to be aimed at casuals, the later levels are pretty nasty to deal with. Speaking of nasty to deal with, the demands placed on the player to get gold medals in the level are way too excessive. It essentially demands that you be absolutely perfect with your capture combo, and maybe then you'll get a bronze medal. But given the inconsistent, slow and plodding nature where each level feels a lot longer than it is, there isn't even an incentive to try and aim for high scores.
There are three mini games to be unlocked as you play: 'Mecha Tag Rally', 'Aim, Sling, Snipe!' and 'Sprayzer Defence Force'. And each mini game has three levels. For some reason, they ask for multiple players – where the first game can only be played with one player driving and the other shooting. The second is remotely interesting for a little while, as it requires you to spot monkeys similar to Where's Wally? and can be played competitively. The last one plays a bit like tower defence, where you freeze monkeys before they're destroyed by the canon shots coming at intervals. It's slightly admirable that these all try something different, but none are particularly compelling and really come off as 'different for the sake of different'.
An advantage that a lot of the Kinect and Move specific games have had with their graphical styles has been remarkable cleanliness in presentation. If there is one genuinely impressive aspect of the game, it's that it runs really well and that all the levels are full of vibrant and lively scenarios. The Ape Escape style complements this very nicely, and is one part of the franchise that remains intact. However, this dedication to style comes at the expense of complex details and there are often bits that will come across as bland and empty. Annoying monkey shrieks and cartoon sound effects suit the game well enough, while the soundtrack will get the job done without being particularly memorable.
Sony has done an abysmal job with providing endearing titles for the PlayStation Move. The technology itself is fine, great even, but so far there have been very, very few titles that come close to making it compelling. Ape Escape is the latest in a long line of titles that completely fails to really provide enough to draw in the players, while continuing the devolution of a once loved franchise. It fails to provide anything that hasn't been attempted just as well on the Wii and doesn't give players a reason to jump on board or play with Move. And it's not the technology, but the weak design that prevents it from being as enjoyable as it could, and an abysmally broken scoring system and frustrating difficulty are likely to scare off the casual market that it's clearly aimed at. The worst part about it is that it wouldn't have taken much to make everything in the game that much better.

Motoring Convictions
Women clean up in league of driving convictions
03 March 2010
Male motorists are almost one-and-a-half times more likely to have a driving conviction than female motorists, according to findings from the AA's portfolio of over 1 million car insurance customers.
Overall, 18% of motorists have at least one conviction to their name while 4 per cent have two or more. This compares with 14 per cent in a similar AA survey carried out a decade ago*.
Simon Douglas, director of AA car insurance, says: "The vast majority of convictions – 85 per cent of them – are for speeding offences. Second most likely offence is for jumping traffic lights (9 per cent) while a worrying 2 per cent are drink-drive offences.
"Men are more than twice as likely to have a drink-drive conviction as women.
"The next two most common convictions are for driving without insurance (1.5 per cent) and the relatively new offence of driving whilst using a hand-held mobile telephone (1.3 per cent)."
Regional variation
However, in every UK region men are far more likely to be the motoring lawbreakers than their female driving counterparts.
The UK's most law-abiding motorists appear to be in Northern Ireland with just 9 per cent of men and 6 per cent of women with motoring convictions.
Those in the Midlands top the league table – with 31.5 per cent of men and 16.6 per cent of women having been caught on the wrong side of motoring law. However, Douglas cautions that different detection rates will affect regional figures.
So far as age is concerned, Douglas says: "Most people won't be surprised to find that younger drivers are most likely to have convictions. Almost a quarter of men in the 25-34 age-bracket (23.4 per cent) have at least one motoring conviction. Men aged 25-34 and 35-44 are equally likely to have two or more convictions (6.3 per cent).
"But for women, those aged 35-44 are more likely to have picked up a motoring offence with 18 per cent overall having done so, 4 per cent with two or more to their name."
Douglas says that ten years ago, speed cameras were starting becoming more widespread and have increased dramatically in numbers since then, so perhaps the rising number of convictions isn't surprising.
Men vs Women
"It's also noticeable that the gap between men and women with convictions is closing. A decade ago, 11 per cent of women had convictions; today it's 15 per cent, a rise of 4 per cent. And today 20 per cent of men have a conviction, a rise of 3 per cent."
The difference can be attributed to the fact that men drive on average, 20 per cent further than women, according to the latest Department for Transport statistics**, and are thus more likely to suffer driving convictions. However, this compares with a 40 per cent difference in 2002 which accounts for the narrowing conviction gap," Douglas suggests.
The changing difference between men and women is also reflected in car insurance premiums. While teenage male drivers still typically pay twice the premium than their female counterpart, the point at which premiums become more expensive for women is becoming progressively younger.***
"In 2003, the point at which premiums for both sexes became similar was at about age 60, now it's between 45 and 50. This is because more women are becoming car owners, they are driving more often and further and are thus more likely to be involved in accidents – as well as commit driving offences," Douglas says.
Affect on Premiums
"But whatever your age or sex, insurers take notice of driving offences, especially multiple offenders and this is reflected in premiums. That's because regular offenders are much more likely to make an insurance claim than those who have a clean license.
"Keeping the right side of the law is one of the best ways to keep your car insurance premiums in check."
Highs and lows of motoring convictions
- Most common conviction: speeding (85%)
- Midlands drivers (male and female) most likely to have motoring convictions
- Drivers in Northern Ireland (male and female) least likely to have convictions
- 20 per cent of men and 15 per cent of women have a motoring conviction
- Men aged 25-34 most likely to have a conviction (23.1%)
- Women aged 35-44 most likely to have a conviction (17.9)
- Those most likely to have two or more convictions are men aged 25-44 (6.3%)

Live music, alcohol and a patio! – I'm not too familiar with the Crystal City area but I went here over the weekend to see a band my friends knew. It's a decent size bar with a big front patio which is great for summer nights. It wasn't overcrowded and was easy to order a drink. We spent most of our time playing Penthouse Photo Hunt! ha who doesn't love that?! The live music was great and I feel that without it, this place might not be as fun.
One thing I found odd was the bathroom stalls. The toilet paper roll was at least 2 ft above my head, kinda weird. Not sure who designed that! But overall, a fun place and would go back to check out another band!
Good food, BAD service. – Food was delicious...service, not so great. The menu and table top advertised a 'half price hamburger' night, but when we got the bill they were full price. When we asked the server why we were charged full price, he said they had changed the prices 3 months ago. We asked to speak with the manager to adjust the price. The manager was a smart alec and said 'if it's that big og a deal....i will adjust the bill'. Great food, but with that experience, we will NEVER eat there again.

It is more than 150 years since WG Grace was born, but there are other ways of measuring how distant he is in time. For one thing, no one still alive, not even Jim Swanton, can remember seeing him play (although in Sort Of A Cricket Person, EWS notes that "I am supposed to have watched [him] from my perambulator on the Forest Hill ground round 1910"). Eight decades have passed since Grace died, yet he dogs us still, demanding our attention at regular intervals.
The statistics of his career are alone enough to explain why - more than 54,000 first-class runs (there are at least two different versions of the precise figure, so let's leave it at that) spread across 44 seasons, including 839 in just eight days of 1876, when he hit a couple of triple-centuries, and only one other batsman managed to top a thousand runs in the entire season; a thousand in May in 1895, when he was nearly 47; and 2800-odd wickets costing less than 18 runs apiece. I suppose we might wonder why his bowling average wasn't even more impressive, given the ropey pitches on which Dr Grace played. No modern cricketer would deign to turn out on them, which makes his batting all the more wondrous, and comparisons with Bradman or anyone since quite pointless.
But there was not that much to Grace apart from these skills and his devotion to his family. A hand of whist appears to have marked the limit of his capacity for cerebration, and if one wished to be rude to suburbia one might identify Grace as suburban man incarnate, fluctuating mentally as well as physically between the fringes of Bristol and the London Counties, ultimately coming to rest in Eltham. His one inherited asset was that he came from a clan which was dotty about a great game and dutiful (but in some cases no more) about the general practice of medicine, with no doubt in its collective mind which came first at all times and in all places. His brother EM Grace, who was a coroner, once had a corpse put on ice until he could attend to it at close of play, and WG himself must have had one of the most prolonged medical trainings in history because he so frequently interrupted it in order to exercise his major talent at the crease. He began to study as a bachelor of 19, and was a father of three in his thirties before taking his final qualification at Westminster Hospital. His most conspicuous act as a doctor is thought to have occurred when an unfortunate fieldsman impaled himself on the boundary fence at Old Trafford.
It was simply because the cricketing Grace totally dominated his own era that an exasperated CLR James could not understand why standard history books of the period never mentioned him. This man, for heaven's sake, opened for England at the age of 50 - and at the age of 18 he had scored 224 not out for England against Surrey, in a match which he left halfway through in order to win a quarter-mile hurdles championship at the Crystal Palace! No wonder he was the best-known Englishman apart from Mr Gladstone, so much so that Evelyn Waugh's friend, Monsignor Ronnie Knox, waggishly suggested that Gladstone and Grace were really one and the same celebrity.
Athletic is not a word that obviously comes to mind when contemplating Grace in his prime, though a slim young man did precede the pot-bellied genius, who in middle age was far too heavy for any horse to bear. I have often wondered how stylishly he played his strokes ever since I saw some film in which he appeared to be brandishing his bat as though he was about to poke the fire with it. Something tells me that he never hit the ball as gracefully as Victor Trumper did in the famous photo of his straight drive; Grace, I suspect, was much more about power than aesthetics.
That, at any rate, would fit what we know of his character in general. Apart from tenderness to his relatives and a generous soft spot for children, he was not, I think, a particularly attractive man, though he could sometimes (and it is usually recorded as remarkable) encourage a young player on his own side with - as the saying went in his day - bluff good humour. After the Australians had experienced him for the first time, a commentator Down Under observed that, "For so big a man, he is surprisingly tenacious on very small points." He was notorious for employing, in order to pursue victory or personal achievement, a variety of wiles and tricks that may be thought of as, well, hardly cricket. He was also, throughout his career, quite breathtakingly grasping when his eye caught the glint of hard cash.
It was the social historian Eric Midwinter who, some years ago, pointed out that on Grace's first tour of Australia in 1873-74 (when he was a medical student simultaneously enjoying his honeymoon) he extracted a fee of £1500 from the organisers, which would be well over £100,000 at present values. On his second tour in 1891-92, one-fifth of the entire cost of transporting 13 English cricketers across the world, supporting them in Australia and paying them for what they did there, went into Grace's pocket. He regularly collected testimonials - one, worth £1458, was organised by MCC so that he might buy a medical practice - and overall probably took something like £1 million in today's currency out of the game; and, remember, there was no sponsorship nor endorsements in those days to inflate a star's income. This was in a period when the prosperous middle classes were earning no more than £1000 a year, a highly skilled artisan £200, and a labourer half as much if he was lucky. A good professional county cricketer in the second half of the 19th century saw his wages rise from £100 to £250. No wonder it cost twice as much to get into some English grounds if Grace was playing than if he was not.
The astonishing thing about the mercenary Grace, of course, is that he was classified and has ever since been glorified as an amateur. Nothing more exposed the humbug that used to smother the entire topic of Gents v Players than an examination of Grace's financial rewards from the game; and nothing more reveals the intellectual dishonesty at the heart of the humbug than something Grace once said when trying to argue the Gloucestershire committee into playing more amateurs than professionals. He declared his fear for the future of cricket if it became wholly professional. "Betting and all kindred evils will follow in its wake, and instead of the game being followed up for love, it will simply be a matter of £ s d." Prophetic words, perhaps; but it ill became WG Grace to mouth them.
It will be gathered from the above that he has never been a hero of mine, not since the day in adolescence when I discovered that he was sometimes a shameless cheat in a game that, I was being asked to believe, was wholly honourable. I shall nevertheless drink to his memory on July 18 because his tremendous gifts, especially his phenomenal batting, were largely responsible for the elevation of cricket from just another 19th-century game, which had become popular partly because it lent itself to gambling.
Grace's towering presence, more than any other single factor, transformed it into the unrivalled spectator sport of summer, first of all in England, subsequently in other lands spread widely across the world. I would even suggest that a true measurement of WG's unique stature is that he is instantly identifiable, even by some who are uninterested in his vocation, by his initials alone. I cannot think of another human being in any sphere, not even WC Fields, of whom this is also true.

Couple of years ago, I saw in This Old House magazine, I think, a valve attached under the kitchen sink water pipe. When the temperature drops to a low trigger point, the valve starts to drip. It is not a fast drip. It is a very slow drip. The slow controlled drip is sufficient to prevent pipe freeze. Please help me find it.
I have a kitchen built on top of an enclosed porch. The underside of the porch was been enclosed with concrete blocks. The underside of the joists had been boarded up. Only access to the underside of the porch is a small basement window under the porch. Crawling in there is not an option.
The cavities between the joists were not insulated. One of the cavity is used to run the hot/cold water and drain pipe. ONE time per year, after a few consecutive cold days, my water pipe freeze up. To clear the ice clog, I stick a hair dryer in the cavity from the basement and run it for 15 minutes or so.
Last summer, I cut open the sink cabinet bottom, then cut open the kitchen floor under that, and reach the point where the water pipe turns up, through the floor and the cabinet bottom, into the sink cabinet. I lifted the pipe up an inch or so so they are not resting on the bottom of the cavity, where the other side is open cold air. In the created air space gap, I sprayed expanding insulating foam. Then, more foam to insulate the top side of the pipes. Then, finish up with fiberglass insulation to fill up the remaining space between the pipe and the joist and the back side (outside wall) of the cavity.
I kept the 2.5 feet of joist cavity space between the foundation wall and the newly insulated area NOT inulated. My reasoning is that the warmer basement air will reach the exposed pipes. Had I inslate that portion, I would have isolating the pipes to the cold side as oppose to the warmer basement side.
I was hoping this project will provide a delay of heat loss till a warm day comes along. Instead of 3 cold days to freeze, it may take 5 days to freeze. The likelyhood of 5 cold days is less than 3 days. Well, I think it worked. After a few days of very cold temperature, it freezed overnight. This time, it only took the hair dryer about 2 minutes to clear up the ice clog.
BTW, I have split seam pipe insulation wrap on the pipes already.
So, my project worked, but not 100%. I have been looking for the anti freeze valve for a while. Cannot find it.
