Sync files between Win7 64 desktop & laptop
I'm planning to buy my first ever laptop for a four week business trip. I'll buy it with Win 7 64, like my desktop, and will copy the contents of my desktop HD to the laptop before I leave.
When I return, I'll want to sync all changed files from the laptop back to the desktop again.
I feel a bit embarrassed to ask how to do this, as it's obviously a common issue ... but I've googled, browsed these forums, leafed through my copy of Windows 7 Inside Out -- and still can't find what I need to know:
What's the easiest and most trouble-free way of syncing these files?
Should I buy an Easy Transfer cable? Use a third party program, like Foldermatch or Laplink or Syncback Pro?
I understand that I can sync files with an online intermediary -- Windows Live, I think -- but I'd just as soon not go that route. My hope is that there's a cable I can get (like the Easy Transfer cable) and some simple software I can use or download that will do the job for me.

Today i was holding a cute black puppy dog and talking with my friend outside of my Sunkissed Tanning Studio.
Suddently a foreign guy who just passed by us and said :" oh, the dog is black, so you should eat it.
I said:" why?
he said:" because you chinese people eat everything.
Then I said:" I never eat dogs in my life, prohaps the people in your country eat dogs.
He said:" no, we dont. but i will try to eat dogs, because chinese people eat everything thats why i come to china! ( then left)
Actually he was not the only one foreigner who told me that chinese people eat everything. What i wanna tell to some ignorance foreigners is that there is only 83,000,000 chinese people from Guang dong provinece they do eat variety of animals like sneak stuff, and the rest of chinese people, they dont!
Chinese families use to be very poor and cant afford to buy lots of meats. So the most popular meats are Pork, lamb, duck, chicken, beef. Thats all, but i do know some westerns eat pigen meat as well.
(I am thinking why all foreigners thought that chinese people eat everything was maybe because most chinese people who live aboard before were from guangdong province or south of China)

Another day, Another Chinese Smartphone company launching new smartphones in the Indian market. This time, it's ZTE forayed into already crowded Indian market and launched couple of new smartphones namely the more premium ZTE Axon Mini and the more affordable Blade V6. Both the devices were globally launched at the MWC 2016.
ZTE Blade V6
The ZTE Blade V6 looks very premium stylish and eye catching with it's sleek design and ultimate looks. Probably it is one of the best looking smartphone below 10K.
Coming back to the specifications of the devices, the ZTE Blade V6 is an affordable smartphone from the company. Priced at Rs. 9,999, the handset offers some premium features such as crisp and vivid display, and all-metal body design.
The Blade V6 measure 6.8 mm in thickness and weighs just 122 grams, which is feather-light. The smartphone is powered by a Quad Core 1.3 GHz MediaTek MT6735 chipset coupled with 2 GB of RAM. The smartphone comes with a 5 inch HD (1280*720) pixels display, with 293 PPi.
Imaging wise, the Blade V6 sports a 13-megapixel shooter at the rear with dual LED flash support. Also, there is a 5-megapixel shooter at the front. Unfortunately, the front facing camera don't have support for flash.
Storage options include 16 GB of internal memory with support for storage expandability upto 128 GB via a micro-SD card. However, you can either include a secondary SIM or a micro-SD card in the dual hybrid sim tray.
This dual SIM 4G smartphone is backed by a rather mediocre 2,200 mAh battery. A price we always pay for the thinness and sleek design of a gorgeous looking smartphone.
Standard connectivity options are present in this device such as 4G LTE for all the Indian bands, Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, Bluetooth, GPS, and USB OTG.
Key specifications of ZTE Blade V6:
- Display: 5-inch 720p display
- Processor: MediaTek MT6735 along with 2 GB of RAM
- Optics: 13-megapixel rear camera with dual LED flash.
- Front camera: 8-megapixel front camera
- Storage: 16 GB storage without expandability option upto 128GB
- Battery Capacity: 2200 mAh
- Connectivity: Dual SIM, 4G, Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n, Bluetooth, GPS, OTG support
- Fingerprint sensor: NO
- Price: ₹9,999
ZTE Axon Mini
The ZTE Axon Mini is the company's most expensive smartphone in India. ZTE has a lot of high end smartphones like the ZTE Axon 7 and ZTE Nubia Z11 (comes with 6 GB of Ram and Snapdragon 820) available in China.
Speaking of th Axon Mini we have a 5.2-inch full HD Super AMOLED display. The display is a 2.5D curved screen and offers great user experience with the curved edges disappearing in the metal surface seamlessly.
The Axon Mini is powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 616 Chipset with all its eight cores clocked at 1.2 GHz. There is 3 GB of RAM and Adreno 405 GPU to take on the graphics intensive tasks and games.
Axon mini supports three different biometric authentication options: fingerprint, voice control and eye-scan.
Axon mini supports three different biometric authentication options: fingerprint, voice control and eye-scan.
The Axon Mini comes with 32GB of on-board storage with support for a dedicated microSD card slot for storage expansion upto 128GB. Thankfully, the microSD card slot is not a hybrid one as seen on the Blade V6. The smartphone has a 13-megapixel shooter on the rear along with support for PDAF and dual tone LED flash, and an 8-megapixel shooter on the front with 5-piece lens.
All the standard connectivity options such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, and USB OTG are present in this device. ZTE also added a fingerprint sensor to the Axon Mini which is located below the rear camera and is always in reach of your index finger. The smartphone measures 7.9mm in thickness and is backed by a 2,800mAh battery.
Both the smartphones run on Android Lollipop and the company haven't released any note regarding the Marshmallow update, however, it is widely expected that both the devices will be updated directly to Android N Nougat when it is released publicly. And the ZTE Blade V6 comes with a price tag of Rs. 9,999 and the Axon Mini is priced at Rs. 23,599.
ZTE announced that both the smartphones will be available in offline markets, which is a brilliant idea rather than keeping the devices as online-only models, which is a fashion these days.
Speaking at the devices launch, CEO of ZTE Device India, Mr. Cao Kai spoke as follows: "At ZTE we are deeply committed to bring world-class technology and user-oriented design to the market in India. We believe that there is untapped potential in this market, which makes it a key driver for our Asia Pacific strategy. The launch of this range of phones in India signals the strengthening of our consumer offering in the market. We are sure with its superior design and best in class technology at competitive pricing, it will help ZTE to further cement our place in this burgeoning market".
Will the ZTE Blade V6 and Axon Mini compete against the likes of Xiaomi, LeEco, and Lenovo? Or else fall apart like other Chinese brands? Let us know your thoughts in Comments.
Key specifications of ZTE Axon Mini:
- Display: 5.2-inch 1080p display
- Processor: Qualcomm Snapdragon 616 processor 3 GB of RAM
- Optics: 13-megapixel rear camera with dual LED flash.
- Front camera: 8-megapixel front camera

I really like these dolls, and when I found the Circe costume by Kittyvanghoul (I know now there is more than one, but hers was the only one I was aware of at the time) I was totally inspired to do my own Little Apple Doll Costume!! I chose Animula.
Check out a photo of the doll here: http://www.littleappledolls.nl/LAD%20S2%20Animula.jpg
So here I am, posing in my sister's yard at dusk:
I only wish I had a close up! I sewed the costume itself (in one afternoon- grueling!) and paper-mache'd the mask to make the features less distinct. Also, notice the awesome, perfect red beanie that MaRut sent me in the OYP Halloween swap!! The rest was just picked up here and there- Mart de Walton, craft store, Love Video. Yes, its that kind of video store ::blushes:: But the only place I could find red tights! Actually, they were red thigh-highs and they kept falling down around my ankles! Classy, right?! LOL. It drove me insane.
Anywho- that's my contribution to the costume board this year. I hope you enjoy!!

For a lot of people, the idea of eradicating their electricity bill might seem like a dream. If you've ever thought about it, you might have looked into solar panels. These are a great way of converting the sun's rays into electricity for you home.
Even better, under the government's renewable energy scheme, you can sell this power back to the grid and make a little money. However, there are some hidden costs and surprises people don't always realise, so before ploughing ahead and having your solar panels installed, it's best to do your homework.

About the Quartet
Cuarteto Quiroga, appointed quartet-in-residence in charge of the Royal Collection of decorated Stradivarius at Madrid's Royal Palace, has established itself as one of the most dynamic and unique quartets of its generation, winning international acclaim from critics and audiences alike for its distinctive personality as well as its bold and original approach to the string quartet repertoire.
The quartet honours the memory of galician violinist Manuel Quiroga, one of the most outstanding instrumentalist of spanish music history.
The group studied at Madrid's Escuela Reina Sofia with Professor Rainer Schmidt, at the Musikhochschule Basel with Walter Levin, and at the ECMA with Prof. Hatto Beyerle. Other important influences are Johannes Meissl, György Kurtág, András Keller, Eberhard Feltz and Ferenc Rados.
Prizewinners of several major international competitions (Bordeaux, Paolo Borciani, Genève, Beijing, Fnapec-Paris, Palau-Barcelona), the ensemble appears regularly worldwide (Wigmore Hall London, Philarmonie Berlin, Frick Collection and Lincoln Center New York, , DaCamera LosAngeles, National Gallery Washington DC, Concertgebouw Amsterdam, Invalides Paris, Martinu Hall Prague, Nybrokajen Stockholm, Auditorio Nacional-Madrid, Heidelberger Frühling, Stadtcasino Basel, Mozarteum Salzburg, String Quartet Biennial Amsterdam, etc.) and was awarded the Spanish National Radio Culture Prize.
Frequent stage partners include Martha Argerich, Veronika Hagen, Valentin Erben, Javier Perianes, Richard Lester, Alain Meunier, David Kadouch, Jonathan Brown, Vladimir Mendelssohn, Tomas Djupsjöbacka, Chen Halevy, and the Doric, Meta4, Ardeo and Galatea string quartets.
Strongly committed to chamber music teaching, they hold the String Quartet Chair at Zaragoza's Conservatorio Superior (CSMA), and they are regularly invited to give masterclasses at universities and music conservatories throughout Europe, USA and Latin America.
Their CD-albums "Statements" and "(R)evolutions" (COBRA), have been acclaimed by the international press and awarded several prizes and distinctions. "Statements", with music of Haydn, Webern and Sollima won the "CD of the year 2012 Award", given by the Independent Producers Union (UFI). "(R)evolutions", dedicated to the early music of Schönberg, Webern and Alban Berg, was awarded, among several other distinctions, with the label "Exceptional CD" given by Scherzo, Spain's leading music magazine. They have recently released two new CD titles: "Frei Aber Einsam", dedicated to the Opus 51 quartets by Johannes Brahms (Cobra) and a collaboration with pianist Javier Perianes including the piano quintets of Granados and Turina (Harmonia Mundi). Both recordings have already been praised by such prestigious reviewers as The Strad, Gramophone, BBC Music Magazine (UK), Luister (NL), El País (Spain) and have already received awards and recognitions from several magazines (Scherzo, Pizzicato, Ritmo, Melómano, ICMA, etc.) and broadcasting corporations, such as the Norddeutscher Rundfunk, NDR.
Cuarteto Quiroga has its official residence throughout the year at Madrid's Cerralbo Museum. Mr.Sierra would like to thank Paola Modiano's heirs for the generous opportunity to play the 1682 Nicola Amati violin "Arnold Rosé".

LONDON, Feb 28 (Reuters) - Russia's rouble stayed near five-year lows to the dollar on Friday, hit by fears about instability in neighbouring Crimea, but Ukraine's hryvnia rebounded, trading 5-10 percent firmer on hopes of an IMF loan.
The rouble and other emerging currencies were also pressured by jitters over the recent volatility in the Chinese yuan which posted its biggest daily fall since China created its foreign exchange market in 1994.
In Ukraine, armed men have taken control of two airports in the Crimea region in what the government described as an invasion by Russian forces, raising fears of an escalation of tensions between the neighbours and between Moscow and the West.
Russia has denied involvement.
The impact of the crisis in Ukraine, continued to be felt across all emerging markets but is taking a heavy toll on Russian assets in particular as it comes on the heels of evidence that the country's economy is slowing.
The rouble fell 0.3 percent to the dollar and hit a fresh record low to the euro and a euro-dollar basket used by the central bank. It has lost more than 2 percent this month against the dollar, taking its losses since the start of 2014 to 9 percent. It has fallen 3.5 percent in February to the basket.
"Ukraine is a trigger, not a cause," said Per Hammerlund, chief EM strategist at SEB in Stockholm. "We have generally a bearish view on the rouble, primarily because of fundamentals but recent turmoil in Ukraine is contributing to a push lower."
He noted that Russia's current account surplus was shrinking while the central bank is losing reserves as it intervenes in currency markets at the pace of $400 million a day.
Russian stocks touched a new three-week low and have lost 3.5 percent so far this week.
In Ukraine however, despite the Crimean tensions, there were signs of stabilisation on financial markets after the country formed an interim government and said it would abide by the conditions of any IMF loan agreement.
An IMF mission is due in Kiev next week, raising hopes of a loan that will stave off bankruptcy and default. Meanwhile the central bank slapped curbs on deposit withdrawals from banks.
The hryvnia which fell to record low beyond 11 per dollar on Thursday, briefly traded at 9.80 per dollar, a rise of 10 percent on the day, while the country's dollar bonds were around half a point stronger across most maturities.
Forward markets are now pricing less hryvnia depreciation ahead, with 6-month forwards now trading at 11.5 per dollar compared to levels beyond 12 on Thursday.
In Turkey, the lira firmed marginally against the dollar while Istanbul shares rose 1 percent after better-than-expected trade data. But investors remain cautious due to uncertainty following corruption allegations from leaked recordings purportedly of Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan.
Broader emerging equities were up 0.3 percent to a one-month high, buoyed by gains on Chinese stocks and comments by U.S. Federal Reserve chairman Janet Yellen.
Hammerlund said yuan moves would dampen sentiment.
"This is a policy decision to widen the band eventually and shake out some speculative positions to indicate the yuan can go both ways. It will have a dampening effect on risk taking in emerging markets," he added.

A group of officers with the New York Police Department were turned in by two Emergency Medical Technicians after beating a mentally ill man shackled to a stretcher.
Documents obtained by the New York Daily News reveal how the EMTs had to physically stop four officers as they repeatedly punched the man in the face on July 20.
According to reports filed by the EMTs, the incident began shortly after the pair arrived at a police station to transport the man to a nearby hospital. The man, who was said to be combative, had his hands and feet shackled to a stretcher after leaving his cell.
"Pt. came out of the cell in cuffs. Pt. became combative with PD and (was) put on our stretcher," one EMT wrote.
That is when the restrained man began swearing and spitting at a group of police with the Emergency Service Unit, causing an officer to punch him in the face multiple times before slamming him to the ground.
"Pt. was struck in the face by an officer … pt. spit in the face of an officer, whereupon the officer punched the pt. in the face multiple times," the report stated.
The second EMT confirmed the account, noting that the man had "sustained injuries" to the face and head.
After being put back on the stretcher, the man proceeded to spit once more. Instead of grabbing a spit mask, two other officers joined the first in unleashing a barrage of punches on the man's face, causing the EMTs to become concerned enough to physically intervene.
"Three cops began to punch the patient in the face, EMS (had) to get in the middle of it to intervene. Pt's. wounds and injuries cleaned in the (ambulance)," the report said.
An investigation by the Internal Affairs Bureau is currently underway according to a spokesman with the New York Police Department. The EMTs, who clearly did their job to protect the health and well-being of their patient, are reportedly still serving the public.
The incident comes only weeks after a New York police officer choked an asthmatic man to death for allegedly selling untaxed cigarettes. The responding EMTs and paramedics were all suspended after failing to provide support to the man as he laid motionless on the concrete.

Dreamstime success depends on many factors beyond an exciting and diverse portfolio. Building a reputation for a particular style or special subject niche creates a 'brand'. As designers become familiar with your work, they will seek out your images by searching first within your portfolio.
In short, you want to develop a specialty, especially one that is easily recognizable and not widely covered by others. For example, without thinking, I know immediately where to go on Dreamstime for conceptual images of penguins. How do you develop a group of images that can be considered a niche collection? Ask yourself what you do best and what you have access to. Perhaps you ski; obviously you know something about winter sports and have access to friends that participate. Decide to devote a large block of time one winter to developing your connections and skills shooting skiing and related materials. Then continually update your images in order to grow your brand. Or pick a more esoteric subject based on your unique interests or career outside of photography.
Once you have developed a niche, you need to build awareness of your brand among the members. There are several tools on Dreamstime to help you get your images out in front of buyers to enhance your reputation.
Not only do you want your user name to become a household word in our community, you want to show up on the home page if possible. One way is to participate in the assignments. Everyone wins when they get images accepted into an assignment: the image and your name get great visibility as people review the images throughout the weeks that the assignment is active. If your image is a winner, it and your user name will be on the home page for a week or more.
Another way to help yourself and the community is to donate images to the 'free' section. I've heard some ask why they should give their work away. Actually there are several reasons: consider the free section a place where young designers or others with small budgets can become acquainted with your work. It is also a place that can lead a user directly to your portfolio. If the free image catches a designer's fancy, she may continue on to look at your full portfolio. Think of the free section as one of the oldest forms of advertising: the free sample. Finally remember the old adage: If you want something, give it away.
Dreamstime remains true to our goal of being a peer-to-peer based community. Those that give most to the community stand a much better chance of getting what they need from it. To honor past assignment participants, all the images for this blog have been previous assignment contributions…and not even necessarily winners. Nice!
I've kept to a winter/holiday theme again this week as Thanksgiving in the U.S. kicks off the holiday party season. Why the birdhouses and sock picture? No reason except the bird houses are holiday red and the stocking feet look like 'Baby, it's cold outside!" As for the penguin brand guy mentioned above, if you don't already know him go here to find him
Happy Thanksgiving to those in the U.S.

Taking the Sting out of the European Wasp – Dunkeld – 2004-2006
This project investigated the extent to which the European Wasp (Vespula germanica) has affected the Dunkeld and district communities.
It gave particular reference to its impact on tourism, industry, ecology and the lifestyle of Southern Grampians residents.
The project coordinator was Prue Saimoun (Dunkeld) and the project team worked with Professor John Hearne, Kaye Marion and Katie Ballagh from RMIT University.
The project found that several aims had been achieved including:
- Educating and creating awareness of the extent of the wasp problem in the Dunkeld area;
- Creating ongoing interest;
- Recommending that further research and action be taken on developing bait for wasps to take back to the nest.
A key outcome was increased community awareness and action education at a level where people realised they could have an impact on the problem.
The Fellowship recipient was Lisa McIntyre from Dunkeld. The project involved the Panyyabyr Landcare Group, Dunkeld Consolidated School, Dunkeld Progress Association, Glenelg Hopkins CMA, RMIT University (Melbourne) and other community groups and organisations in the region.

Laundry detergent liquid capsules safety
Laundry capsules (also known as laundry pods) can be dangerous for your child if left within his or her reach. See this alert for tips on storing and handling these products safely.
With their bright colours and small size, laundry pods can be attractive to children as they often look similar to confectionary products. If a child gains access to a laundry detergent capsule, it can lead to ingestion or eye and skin exposure causing serious injuries.
Nationally, there have been more than 280 incidents reported of children aged six or under ingesting or being exposed to liquid laundry detergent capsules since 2011.
Australian ingestion cases in children aged six or under
2011 (from April)
2015 (to February)
More than 16,000 cases are reported annually worldwide of children being exposed to laundry pods, with two deaths being reported in the United States.
Injuries can include:
- in case of ingestion: severe vomiting, coughing, respiratory disorders, nausea, drowsiness and rash
- in case of contact with the eyes: conjunctivitis, pain in the eye, eye irritation
- in case of contact with the skin: rash, skin irritation, chemical burn.
A laundry detergent capsule can burst in a child's hand with only a small amount of pressure. It can also rapidly dissolve with moisture and may burst in a child's mouth in as little as ten seconds, causing severe injuries.
What you can do
Safe storage
- Store laundry capsules up high, out of reach and out of sight of children.
- If stored in lower accessible cabinets/cupboards, these should be secured with child resistant locks.
- Keep capsules/packets in their original container, fully closed between uses.
Safe use
- Carefully read the labels on the packaging.
- Do not use the capsules/packets while children are close by and do not allow or invite children to manipulate them.
- Never pierce or break laundry capsules/packets.
- Do not leave the capsules/packets outside their container.
- Close the container lid properly after every use.
What to do in case of exposure
In case of a child's accidental exposure:
- If the capsule/packet is put in the mouth, rinse the child's mouth and face thoroughly.
- Do not induce vomiting.
- If a child has capsule liquid close to eyes or on hands, rinse carefully with plenty of water.
- Call a doctor, or a Poison Control Centre, or go to the medical emergency department.
Global campaign
In March 2015, the ACCC joined international regulators to raise awareness of the hazards laundry capsules can pose to young children. Visit the European Commission's Global Awareness-raising Campaign on Laundry detergent capsules/packets website for more information.

COLLEGE STATION (CBS SPORTS) - Texas A&M quarterback Johnny Manziel has decided to quit Twitter in an effort to eliminate distractions, the Heisman Trophy winning quarterback told ESPN. "I've kind of just shut it all off," Manziel said. "With how the media has been with me for a while, I just shut everything off."
"It's fun to have," Manziel added, "but it can get to be distracting at points."
Normally, whether college football players decide to tweet or not to tweet is not our business. But when Manziel became the first freshman to win the Heisman Trophy, the media stopped treating him like an ordinary college football player.
Photos of Manziel hanging out at NBA games, enjoying spring break in Cabo San Lucas, and attending Mardi Gras have found their way to the blogosphere in recent months. Following Johnny Football's off-field adventures was slowly becoming a pastime for thirsty college football fans all across the internet.
Manziel recently came under fire for a fake Texas Longhorns tattoo — that Manziel described as a dare — that appeared in a picture, as well as a report of him shoving a graduate assistant during a spring scrimmage.

Robert Langdon, an expert in religious symbology, is called to The Lourve to examine the murder of Jacques Sauniere.
When he arrives, Robert discovers that the curator's body was arranged gruesomely to portray a code.
Soon after, a woman named Sophie Neveu arrives at the Lourve and claims that she cracked Jacques Sauniere's code.
Though she had'nt completely figured it out, Robert and Sophie still deciphered Sauniere's code.
Sophie then discovered a key behind the painting Madonna of the Rocks. There was an address inscribed on it.
They ask a cab driver to take them to the address that was on the key. It led to the Depository Bank of Zurich. is important They used the key to enter the building, and by entering a password they retrieved a lockbox. It contained a cryptex.
Sophie and Robert then took a truck and traveled to his friend Leigh Teabing's estate.
Leigh explains to Sophie that the code Jacques Sauniere left led to the whereabouts of the Holy Grail.
With the help of Mr. Teabing, they discover that the code to the cryptex is Sofia, a Greek word meaning wisdom.
When they opened the cryptex, they found another one inside of it with a clue.
The clue led the three of them to Temple Church in London. There, they were attacked by two men who were also searching for the grail. They took Leigh Teabing hostage and Robert and Sophie escaped.
After going to a religious database, Robert and Sophie discover that the clue leads to Sir Isaac Newton's tomb.
When they arrive, they find Teabing who holds them at gunpoint and demands the code to the cryptex. Robert already deciphered the code an emptied the cryptex, so he throws it up in the air.
As Leigh went to catch it, he dropped the gun and police came in to arrest him.
The second cryptex led Langdon and Neveau to Rosslyn Chapel in Scotland.
There, Robert meets Sophie's grandmother and brother, who were supposedly dead.
When Langdon returns to Paris, he discovers that Sauniere's code really meant that the Holy Grail was buried beneath the inverted pyramid in the Louvre Summary About the Author Dan Brown was born in Exeter, New Hampshire. He had two siblings an enjoyed solving puzzles and riddles from a young age. He went to Amherst College where he took courses in writing and art history. Before writing the DaVinci Code, he released three unsuccessful books. When it was released, it became one of the best selling books of all time. It is estimated that Dan Brown made $250 million dollars from the DaVinci Code alone. He has released four books since including Deception Point, Digital Fortress, Angels ad Demons, and The Lost Symbol. Themes Deception Dedication Greed Teamwork Secrecy Recommendation The DaVinci Code is a worthwhile read and one of my all time favorite books. With carefully-crafted twists and turns, it will leave any reader speechless. It sheds a new light on the incredibly controversial topic of Mary Magdalene and Jesus that is both exciting and almost unbelievable. It challenges popular Christian beliefs an you'll never think of Christianity the same way again. Brown did an outstanding job of creating believable characters that are easy to connect to. The thrilling chase scenes and the amazing secrets they uncover make you want to read more and more. The only issue I had with the book is that oftentimes, the information and history showcased throughout the book is shrouded by all of the action and long "chase scenes". The DaVinci Code By Dan Brown By Matthew Sacco Favorite Paragraph As Teabing passed, Langdon looked him in the eye. "Only the worthy find the Grail, Leigh. You taught me that."
-Robert Langdon This is my favorite paragraph because Leigh Teabing had dedicated his entire life to finding the grail, only to realize that he was unworthy of finding it. He thought that he could obtain the Grail through deception, lies, and trickery; however it simply didn't work out as he had planned. In the end, Leigh wasn't worthy and Robert Langdon ultimately prevailed. The End

Nothing to Smile About
October 9, 2003
Dental insurance is a very good thing that could easily turn into a very bad thing for baby boomers, say observers.
They were the first generation to grow up with workplace health benefits, notes Linda Niessen, a geriatric dentist and professor of restoration sciences at Baylor College of Dentistry in Dallas. "They think of dental insurance as a given."
Hanging on to dental insurance could be a serious problem as these boomers age, dental experts predict:
- The lack of such coverage is a long-standing problem for senior citizens enrolled in the government's Medicare program.
- Medicare simply doesn't cover routine dental care, and most people's dental insurance stops when they retire.
- Fewer than 20 percent of people over age 65 have any kind of dental insurance, a distinction that earned the nation a big fat D from the group, Oral Health America.
- And most of that coverage is under Medicaid, the government's program for low-income people, who often must settle for dentures.
And the problem is only going to get worse, warns Robert Klaus, president of Oral Health America. "Unfortunately, the lack of dental coverage for the elderly is an invisible issue."

Very early in the morning on Monday December 9th, the first day of exams, Roanoke College was struck with a series of unfortunate events. Many residents on campus, especially those working through the night in the library, noticed the internet go down late Sunday night and for most of early Monday morning. They were the lucky ones though; several dorms were affected by the strange circumstances, most notably Marion Hall. While there was no actual fire, there was smoke in the building and the residents had to evacuate. There were several fire trucks on Market Street that night; Life Science was also affected and it resulted in a small fire in the empty building.
Due to the inconvenience on the students and the bad weather, for most cars were still covered in ice, morning exams on Monday were delayed from 8 am to 10 am. Many teachers also delayed assignments that were due, knowing many of their students probably waited until the last minute to do them.
Late on Tuesday the 10th an email was sent out from Richard Smith, the Vice President and the Dean of the College. The school explained that these bizarre events were caused by a squirrel triggering a transformer to blow that provided power to the school. He also thanks, as we all should, the Salem Fire Department and our own campus safety and maintenance staff for responding to these hectic events in one of the busiest times on campus.
Of course, students also took the opportunity to play on the Roanoke Rising campaign to lighten the situation. Early Monday morning #roanokefalling was trending on the popular social media website Twitter. Here are some of our favorite tweets:
Kayleigh Murphy â€@kaymurph95

text: hi doc. u guessed it right,ride quality is slightly compromised especially at low speed over rough roads,but i can compromise on that rather having repeated underbody scrappings(roads are very bad in and around doon).the g.c kit includes 4 shockabsorbers and one balance rod,no spacers are placed to increase g.c . if u have good roads in cochin than u can revert back to old shockers,but it will lower u'r cars g.c for sure.:ugeek:but lowering g.c will give u more confidence on highway driving.

Even before they drafted him three years ago, the Buccaneers always thought Ali Marpet's best position in the NFL might eventually prove to be center.
Now they plan to find out if they were right or not.
With J.R. Sweezy returning to health after missing all of last year with a back problem, the Bucs are planning to experiment with Marpet at center and Sweezy taking over for Marpet at right guard.
But that's just one of the experiments Bucs coach Dirk Koetter plans to run with his offensive line when the Bucs begin offseason workouts on April 17 at One Buc Place.
The Bucs initially brought in Sweezy to play left guard, and Koetter said during the NFC Coach's Breakfast at the NFL Owner's Meetings in Phoenix on Wednesday that Sweezy will get work there as well.
Oh, and the Bucs also intend to see just what kind of a right tackle Kevin Pamphile would be as they intend to work their projected starting left guard at that spot.
None of this comes as any great surprise. The Bucs have long talked about moving Marpet to center, Sweezy spent his entire career in Seattle playing right guard and Marpet was drafted primarily to play tackle.
Pamphile only wound up playing left guard because the Bucs were in a bind last year, when Sweezy went down with his back problem.
And with Marpet coming off a superb second season at right guard last year, the Bucs didn't want to mess with a good thing so they opted to move Sweezy to left guard.
Now everybody may be on the move again, but keep in mind, Koetter made it clear these are only experiments designed to prepare for the possibility someone has to move because of an injury elsewhere.
"If you look at our cut-ups from last year we had some strange combinations at guard and center because on game day you can only have seven guys,'' Koetter said. "So if one guy gets hurt in a game your combinations are going to start moving.
"But anything we experiment with now in the offseason and through the preseason, that's just that – experimentation to find who the best five guys are and give guys experience at different spots.''

Original paper
Quantification of the deviations from closest sphere packings
Sowa, Heidrun; Koch, Elke
European Journal of Mineralogy Volume 16 Number 2 (2004), p. 255 - 260
published: Mar 29, 2004
ArtNo. ESP147051602007, Price: 29.00 €
In order to quantify the deviation of the anion arrangement in a crystal structure from a closest sphere packing two parameters are introduced: Δdrel is the relative difference between the longest and the shortest distance to neighbouring atoms within a distorted closest-packed arrangement and s is the standard deviation of the normalized distances to all neighbouring atoms. The applicability of these parameters is compared with that of the distortion parameter Ucp introduced by Thompson & Downs (2001). Deviations from ideal sphere packings in pyroxenes, staurolite, kyanite, and olivine- and spinel-type structures are considered.

Bar Harbor, Maine, Studies Muni Fiber to Replace Time Warner Cable Franchise| Written by Lisa Gonzalez | No Comments | Updated on Mar 30, 2015 The content that follows was originally published on the Institute for Local Self-Reliance website at https://ilsr.org/bar-harbor-maine-studies-muni-fiber-to-replace-time-warner-cable-franchise/
For the past several months, Maine communities have been a hotbed of broadband activity. Bar Harbor, located midway along the state's Atlantic coast, is another community looking at fiber as a necessary investment.
According to a February article in the Mount Desert Islander, the town of 5,200 has decided to move forward with a feasibility study. The town received Internet access at no additional cost as part of its previous franchise agreement with Time Warner Cable. That agreement expired about a year ago and, as we have seen in other communities, the cable giant now appears to be holding out in order to charge for the same service. From the article:
"The guidance that we've received from the lawyers helping us … is that the cable company really doesn't want to give us anything, and may in fact want to start charging us for the fiber network that we get today as part of that franchise agreement," said Brian Booher. He is a member of the communications technology task force, which has studied the issue of broadband availability in Bar Harbor.
A similar situation in Martin County, Florida, inspired that community to build its own network. It is now saving millions, with no need to contend with typical Time Warner Cable hassles, price hikes, and poor service. Read more in our case study on Martin County [PDF].
Bar Harbor seems to be adopting the same attitude as the rest of the state. They see that economic development success rests on connectivity and that entities like Time Warner Cable are not in business to boost local economic development. Booher went on:
"If the only way to get there is to do it ourselves, that's the Maine mentality right there. So, my attitude is, let's look at this and see what it would take."

Ronald W. Del Sesto, Sr., was passionate about Italian culture and promoting it was an integral part of his life. He served as Honorary Vice Consul for Italy, president of the Justinian Law Society, a Board Member of the National Italian American Foundation, founder of the Umbria Relief Fund to raise money for victims of the 1997 Umbria earthquake, founder of the Italian Film Festival in Providence, Rhode Island, and with his wife Deborah founded WebVisionItaly.com.
Ron's son Justin Del Sesto was inspired to found ItalianTourism.us during one of his many trips to Italy with his father.
Ronald W. Del Sesto, Sr. passed away December 30, 2015. His daughter, Cristina Del Sesto, wrote and delivered the following eulogy.
Twelfth Day of Christmas
January 5, 2015
St. Sebastian Church
Cristina Del Sesto
Pop loved the Epiphany. The celebration held each
January 6 honors the coming of the Three Kings to
the infant Jesus. It's a story about beginnings and
the wonderment of life. It's also a story about
wise men with unique names from exotic places.
The narrative had special appeal for Dad.
Stories took him around the world —and he took
us with him.
When he came home from work each night our
dinner conversations would always turn to his
clients. We couldn't wait to hear what was going
on at his law office. Each day brought more
intrigue. His clients were often unpredictable and
they included Babar the Elephant who was suing
someone over the Old Lady's estate. Other
purported characters –I only realized much later –
were lifted out of Dickens, like the rascally lawyers
Dodson and Fogg of the Pickwick Papers, and the
elusive Mr. Mc Gillicuddy whom we never
completely identified.
In hindsight, I am really surprised Dad did not tell
us about a jury comprised of the wise men:
Balthazar, Melchior and Caspar.
His approach to parenthood was borrowed from
Cheaper by the Dozen, a book written by efficiency
experts in 1948. He had a special speed method
for toweling my brothers off after they bathed
and – while he never could figure out how to do
it – he especially liked the idea of having an endless
loop of recorded Italian lessons always playing for
us in the bathroom.
At high school graduation I am certain that I am
the only person to have received a first edition of
Death in the Afternoon by Ernest Hemingway—
about bullfighting in Spain.
When it comes right down to it, my father was a
character. He strived to be like the colorful,
fictional people he read about. In the last twenty-
five years he wore a beret and carried a man
purse. He had an espresso machine in his office
with a special water line fitted for steam. He had a
collection of watches and pens with various color
ink. He wrote in long hand and then would have
his secretary transcribe. He didn't send emails. He
corresponded by letter. He loved Catch-22
and often channeled Major Major in his management
style. He was a very, very funny guy.
He believed in celebrating every day and every
meal. Our quests for ingredients on the weekends
took us all over the state. Inevitably, we would
have to buy two loaves of bread: one for the car
ride and one for Sunday dinner. He declared
national holidays – usually during the winter
— and would stay in his robe all day and make us
the only thing he knew how to cook: hot chocolate.
And then there was his blindness in one eye which
made driving with him give new meaning to the
expression blind faith. He had devised a plan of
lining up the hood ornament on his brown,
Cadillac Seville with the highway lines but if he'd
been to the car wash and forgotten to realign the
ornament the car skittered across dotted and
sometimes even solid lines.
The blizzard of 78 proved to be one of those times
that highway surface markings didn't matter. The
two of us were in the car together for four or five
hours trying to get from Providence to the East
Greenwich exit. I had a Snickers bar for
sustenance and was wearing a fair isle sweater
and clogs. He didn't speak a word as his one
working eye, like a Greek mythical creature in a
Mary Renault novel, scanned the road ahead like a
chess board. Cars to the left and right were getting
stuck but we kept going. My father was one of the
only men in the entire neighborhood that made it
home from work that night. He was like
Commander Caractacus Pott in Chitty Chitty Bang
Bang, which I also happen to have in a first edition.
His tenacity in a blizzard and everything else was
undeniable and I often wonder if it was because of
his blindness and his contracting polio as a
preteen that he seemed impervious to obstacles in
his path. Part Odysseus, part Don Quixote, he
tilted at windmills his whole life.
Surely, it was not a strong need to get along with
people that accounted for his success. He won no
popularity contests and was proud of it. In fact, he
is the only person I know who honestly did not
care what anyone else thought of him. You either
liked him and his berets, or you didn't. His world
was so much bigger than the local streets he
walked on. It was in his mind and in the places he
traveled to.
His early love for the far-flung – and sometimes
farfetched – may have begun with a European
voyage he went on as a boy with his parents and
teenage brother in 1950.
We forget that it is only in our lifetime – in the
1970s to be exact—that jet travel became widely
available. At a time when very few people we
knew were traveling much beyond the borders of
New England or Disney World, my father was
planning trips to Italy, St. Maarten, Madrid, and Rio de
Janeiro—with his kids.
Thankfully, while he loved the book, The Mosquito
Coast, he never took us camping. With his devoted
wife, Deborah, they went off on many adventures
of their own over the past 25 years. They were in
Argentina to visit their new grandchild in 2011 and
they went to Italy almost every year at least once.
They've spent five Christmas Days in Umbria.
Today is the twelfth day of Christmas– the eve of
the Epiphany. The birth of the savior is celebrated over many
days rather than just one as the Partridge in a Pear
Tree carol explains. Symbolism in that song was
used to teach the Christian faith long ago but it
also is just a really imaginative story. In my
father's very exacting way he tells me he is well
through the lyrics. Both on the surface and in its
deeper meaning.
More characters are featured in the song than
those paraded through Dad's law office: Ladies
dancing , Lords Leaping, not to mention an aviary.
As we celebrate this twelfth day of Christmas and
Pop in this the church of his youth, let's envision
him enjoying life everlasting with twelve
drummers drumming and a really great loaf of
Italian bread.

With a tribal blessing, a big announcement.
"It is now my honor to unveil such an amazing project, Owa."
The 520-acre project once known as Blue Collar Country will now be known as Owa, a Creek word meaning big water.
"This is going to change south Alabama," says Tim Martin, president of Creek Indian Enterprises Development Authority. "It will change the state. Once we're through with what we are going to do here, we are going to re-write Alabama and tourism."
Along with the name, the vision for the development was revealed through an animated fly-through of the project. Dining, retail and entertainment that includes a 20 ride amusement park. "We want to make this a world-class, family destination for tourism and compliment the 6 point 2 million people that already come to our beautiful beaches," says Martin.
After three years of maybes and ifs, the 500 million dollar entertainment and sports tourism investment is closer than ever to reality. "Once the Poarch Creek Council stepped in and approved it I knew it could happen. The first developer had a grand idea but not the resources to make it happen. Poarch Creek has the resources," says Foley mayor John Konair.
Non-stop construction has carved out a footprint of what is to come. Already under construction a 150 room Marriott hotel. Next to it, a 90 thousand square foot event center. Future development will include a water park, more hotels, along with an island amphitheater in a 14-acre lake.
"It's absolutely exciting," says Orange Beach city councilwoman Joni Blalock. "I'm so thrilled that this is going to be in our area and our tourists are going to be their tourists and it's going to be a big happy family."
Developers hope by next year there will be something else on your to-do list when visiting south Baldwin County."I will have people riding roller coasters Monday, Memorial Day," says Martin.
The new development will also bring with it 34 hundred new jobs and an estimated economic impact of more than 200 million dollars.

The Department of the Interior added its backing to Sen. Maria Cantwell's (D-WA) Quileute tsunami protection legislation (S.636), at a Senate Indian Affairs Committee hearing on Thursday.
"The Department supports Senate bill 636,"said Donald Laverdure, senior officials of the Interior Department's Bureau of Indian Affairs. "Recent tsunamis in the Pacific Ocean, including the one that struck Japan last month and created a huge disaster, clearly demonstrate the risk for the tribe and its citizens, and the need to move housing and infrastructure inland."
At the hearing, Cantwell urged her colleagues to support legislation that would enable the Quileute Tribe to move to higher ground, away from the danger of a Pacific tsunami and persistent Quillayute River flooding. Congressman Norm Dicks has introduced companion legislation in the House.
"The recent tragedy in Japan reminds us that we cannot afford to wait until a catastrophic tsunami strikes. We must act now to prepare Washington's coastal communities and prevent loss of life and property," said Senator Cantwell. "This bill, which could not have happened without years of hard work by the National Park Service and Quileute Tribe, will allow the tribe to move to higher ground and out of harm's way. I will continue fighting with Congressman Dicks on this sensible plan to increase economic opportunity and safeguard Quileute families and their property from devastating floods and tsunamis."
Cantwell's legislation, introduced in the Senate on March 17th, would authorize the transfer of appropriate tracts of higher elevation land from Olympic National Park, which borders the Quileute Tribal Reservation, enabling the tribe to relocate out of a flood zone. These tracts would be added to private lands the Tribe has purchased to form a contiguous area upon which the tribe's school, a daycare center, the elder center, tribal government offices, and several tribal members' homes could be constructed.
The legislation would also settle, by mutual agreement, a longstanding dispute between the Olympic National Park and the tribe over the northern boundary of the reservation. In addition, the bill will guarantee public access to beaches on the Washington coast and designate as wilderness thousands of acres of land currently within the Olympic National Park boundary.
The committee heard testimony in support of the legislation from the Honorable Bonita Cleveland, Chairperson of the Quileute Nation located in La Push, WA.During her testimony, Cleveland explained how there is only one road that connects the lower village to higher ground, and it is often buried under several feet of water when flooded, which Cleveland said occurs every winter. Cleveland also showed a ten-minute video that details the tribe's precarious location as well as touches on the tribe's recent notoriety gained through its depiction in the movie series Twilight.
"Although the Japanese tsunami is a very recent reminder of the destruction that happens after an earthquake in the ocean, our people have been living for decades among decades with the fear of a tsunami and our flooding," Cleveland said. "Because our village is located on one-square-mile, Mr. Chairman, and we are between the Pacific Ocean and the Olympic National Park, we have nowhere else to go. Senator Cantwell's legislation would allow the Quileute Tribe a permanent way out of the tsunami zone. Without this bill, Mr. Chairman, the tsunami could be very dangerous to our people. I hope the words and the video shows our urgent and desperate need."

COLUMBUS, Ohio - Ohio State coach Jim Tressel is aware of all the snickering taking place behind his back, directed at his team's miserable failures in recent big games.
It seems many college football fans and media observers consider the Buckeyes a bunch of overrated chokers who cannot compete with the nation's best teams. They've come to that conclusion because the Buckeyes have played poorly in four nationally televised games over the past three seasons.
But Tressel doesn't feel any personal pressure to deliver a win when the Buckeyes take on Texas in the Fiesta Bowl on Monday.
"If we do, that will be wonderful. It won't change my life," he said during the team's bowl preparations. "If we don't, that will be disappointing, but it won't change my life. You might write some bad things about me, but I'll get over it. So, no, I don't feel any pressure."
The players are well aware that most of America has little respect for them.
"We're always a great program and we have great talent," safety Kurt Coleman said of the public perception of the Buckeyes. "The last two years, we haven't shown up the way we needed to. I think this year it's a whole new team, we're out there playing Texas on the 5th and it'll be a great game. I think we'll be able to change the perception then."
The case against the Buckeyes begins with the 2006 national title game, when Florida dominated in every dimension while pounding Ohio State 41-14. With a cocky, talented lineup that included Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback Troy Smith, the Buckeyes were actually favored going into that landslide loss.
Then came last year, when the Buckeyes muddled through a mediocre schedule, losing their final home game to Illinois. They were No. 8 in the Bowl Championship Series rankings after that setback, but then all the tumblers started to fall into place for them. As one team after another in front of them lost, they climbed until they were No. 1 in the final BCS rankings, earning a spot opposite a two-loss LSU team in the national championship game.
However, the Buckeyes fell to 0-9 against Southeastern Conference teams in the BCS title game, losing 38-24 in a game that wasn't nearly as close as the final score might indicate. They led 10-0 and scored the final touchdown, meaning they were outscored 38-7 the rest of the game.
The disappointments kept coming this season.
Ohio State faced only two teams comparable in talent, and lost both times. The fifth-ranked Buckeyes were humiliated 35-3 in a much anticipated showdown in Los Angeles against then-No. 1 Southern California on Sept. 13. They were without top rusher Chris "Beanie" Wells, who was out with a foot injury, but were badly beaten in every facet after taking a 3-0 lead.
They came back to win their next five games to get back to No. 10 in The Associated Press Top 25, only to lose at home to then-No. 3 Penn State, 13-6.
So the Buckeyes enter the Fiesta Bowl as an afterthought. Their opponent is a team that many consider the best in the country but which was deprived of a shot at the national title because of the vagaries of the BCS.
No wonder oddsmakers have tabbed the Longhorns as an 81/2-point favorite.
The Buckeyes say they are tired of all the putdowns .
"If you have enough people saying negative things and they're trying to back you down in a corner or make you feel small, I think that is when animals or people alike are dangerous," Ohio State punter A.J. Trapasso said.
"They're saying that this Fiesta Bowl is the final time for us to get blown out and how it will not be much of a game, but I think people will be surprised how hard we will come out."

Majority of Public Supports Guilty Verdict in Katsav Case
According to a survey, 51 percent of Israel's Jewish population believed, prior to his conviction, that Katsav should be convicted of rape.
The vast majority of the public - 73 percent - believe the judges who found former President Moshe Katsav guilty of rape based their decision on evidence and reject the claim that they were influenced by the media, according to a recent survey.
In a breakdown by community, 42 percent of those who consider themselves religious believe the decision was influenced by the media, as compared to 12 percent of secular respondents.
The poll was conducted earlier this week (between Saturday night and Monday ) to examine public opinion on the Katsav ruling. A total of 995 individuals were polled by the Midgam Institute, under the direction of Dr. Ariel Ayalon.
Last month, Haaretz published the findings of an extensive survey held in May and August of 2010, during which 1,800 members of the Jewish community were asked about their views on the Katsav trial.
Professors Ze'ev Segal, Camil Fuchs and Dr. Tiki Balas conducted the poll as part of academic research on how the media influences public opinion about criminal trials.
According to that survey, 51 percent of Israel's Jewish population believed, prior to his conviction, that Katsav should be convicted of rape; 61 percent thought he should be convicted of other sex offenses.
In the latest survey, however, 77 percent of those polled agreed with the court's ruling. The figures for the religious community are 50 percent, and for the secular or conservative, 85 percent.
According to Fuchs, these results point to broad support for both the ruling and the credibility of the court, as the numbers of those who considered the ruling to be fair was even higher than it was before the decision.
Participants in the post-verdict poll noted clearly that, prior to the ruling, they were less convinced that Katsav should be convicted: 58 percent said that, prior to the ruling, they thought Katsav should be convicted of rape; 69 percent had thought he should be convicted of a different sex-related offense.
The majority of those polled (73 percent ) believe the judges reached their verdict on the basis of evidence. And most individuals polled reject the claim that the media had influenced the ruling.
Only 44 percent of the religious community felt the judges ruled on the basis of evidence and that the media had not influenced their decisions, as compared to 82 percent of the secular-conservative community.

Venditte impresses as righty, lefty in debut
Switch-pitcher strikes out side in first appearance with Phillies
CLEARWATER, Fla. -- Pat Venditte, the switch-pitcher, thought he had heard them all.
But after making his Phillies debut against the Blue Jays in Grapefruit League action at Spectrum Field on Friday, in which the Phillies lost 7-5, he was thrown a verbal curve. Pitching the ninth inning, he struck out the side. Against right-handed hitters Jon Berti and Juan Graterol, he threw from the right side. In between, he threw lefty against left-handed swinging Rowdy Tellez.
"This isn't my first time moving to another team, but when you get to a new team, you definitely want to start on the right foot and go out there and fill up the strike zone," said the 31-year-old who has also been with the A's, Blue Jays and Mariners. "I think I was able to do that and was very pleased with my first showing."
"You want to get off on the right foot. Can you get off on the left foot also?" he was asked.
Venditte paused, then grinned. "That's a good one," he said. "I've heard a lot, but that's the first time I ever heard that one."
Manager Pete Mackanin got into the act as well.
"I liked the way he threw. He mixed it up from both sides. I guess he's going to go in and ice both his arms now," Mackanin said.
Actually, he doesn't ice at all.
But seriously, folks ...
The Phillies didn't trade for Venditte last week to be a sideshow. They traded for him because they have only four left-handed pitchers in camp and are hoping that he can give them a little help from that side against left-handed hitters.
"It was good to see him," Mackanin said. "It's really special. It's really fun to watch. I guess he's in the mix right now. It's unusual. It's a lot of fun to watch. If he's effective -- I mean, he's pitched in the big leagues before -- and if he continues to be effective, he's in the mix."
Worth noting
The St. Patrick's Day game drew a crowd of 11,173, the third-largest in the 14-year history of Spectrum Field.
The Phillies, as is their tradition, wore green hats and jerseys.

Speed and space management are two critical components to safety on the road. Speed management, means knowing how fast you are driving and space management helps to prevent any rear-end collisions on the road.
Knowing how fast or slow to drive is a vital part of road safety. Speed management means knowing how fast to drive according to the stopping distance required, the shape of the road, traffic flow, the condition of the road surface, visibility conditions and above all else, knowing the posted speed limit for the area you are driving in.
The length of your vehicle is key to space management. Space management helps BCOs avoid rear-end collisions. In ideal conditions keeping at least a 6 second following distance is crucial. As speed increases and driving conditions change, owner-operators should add one or more seconds to their following distance.
For speeds below 40 MPH, drivers should use one second for each 10 feet of vehicle length. For speeds above 40 MPH, use one second for each 10 feet of vehicle length and then add one more second.
Under certain conditions, safety experts say it's important to add more following distance. Here is a list of space management guidelines in certain conditions:
- Add one second for each poor driving condition, ie: snow, ice, rain
- Add one second for every two hours of driving time
- Add a tailgater's following distance to your following stance
- Add an additional second for specified vehicles, ie: over dimensional, doubles, tanks

Conaghint Early Origins
Sligo (Irish: Sligeach), in the province of Connacht in Northwestern Ireland, where they held a family seat from very ancient times.
Conaghint Spelling Variations
Conaghint Spelling Variations
People who were accounted for by scribes and church officials often had their name recorded many different ways because pronunciation was the only guide those scribes and church officials had to go by. This resulted in the problem of one person's name being recorded under several different variations, creating the illusion of more than one person. Among the many spelling variations of the surname Conaghint that are preserved in archival documents are Cunigan, Conigan, Cunnigan, Conaghan, Conaughan, O'Cunigan, O'Conaghan, Connaghan, Connaughan, Kinneghan, Kinnegan and many more.

The Great Migration
The Great Migration
A great mass of Ireland's native population left the island in the 19th century, seeking relief from various forms of social, religious, and economic discrimination. This Irish exodus was primarily to North America. If the migrants survived the long ocean journey, many unfortunately would find more discrimination in the colonies of British North America and the fledgling United States of America. These newly arrived Irish were, however, wanted as a cheap source of labor for the many large agricultural and industrial projects that were essential to the development of what would become two of the wealthiest nations in the western world. Early immigration and passenger lists indicate many people bearing the Conaghint name: Bernard, Hugh, James, and Michael Conaghan, Cornelius, Edward, Hugh, and William Conahan, Cormack and John Connaghan, Patrick Connahan, and Henry Coninghan, arrived in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania between 1840 and 1865.

Barlow Tyrie Monterey - 10 Seater Dining Set

Made from solid teak with a ceramic top this dining table has been built using quality materials alongside refined traditional construction methods.
Teak is a deciduous hardwood tree from managed plantations, it does not come from tropical rainforests. Teak has a naturally high oil content which makes it both stable and resistant to rotting when exposed to climatic extremes. For centuries these special qualities have made teak the preferred choice for marine decking and construction, hence it is considered the premium timber for outdoor furniture.
Designed by Mark Tyrie, with sculptured lines of Gorgeous plantation Teak, Monterey dining tables are available in Frost White Ceramic or Oxide - a dark mottled slate colour for the table tops. And the complimenting armchairs with either Chalk white or Brown braided cord.

Any tests you use to screen applicants should relate to the job and you must be prepared to prove that they do. If you can't, and a protected group of workers (e.g., women, minorities) tend to score poorly, you're just asking for a lawsuit. That's particularly true with tests of a candidate's strength, which can often eliminate women unfairly.
To see if your testing is vulnerable, look at your work force's composition. Do fewer women pass your physical endurance test, resulting in a low number of female employees? How does your male/female ratio compare with other employers in the same field? Make sure any test realistically reflects the job's essential functions.
Recent case: The city of Erie, Pa., uses tough physical testing to screen police officer applicants, including a certain number of push-ups and sit-ups within 90 seconds.
More than 87 percent of female applicants failed Erie's test over a 10-year span, compared to 29 percent of male applicants. As a result, just 4 percent of Erie police officers are female. Police departments in Pittsburgh and Philadelphia have about 25 percent women.
The court said these facts prove that Erie's test discriminates. Since Erie couldn't articulate a clear reason for the 90-second test, the court concluded that it had none. (DOJ v. City of Erie, 3rd Cir., 2005)
Final tip: If you use a test administered or designed by a third party, be sure that the administrators explain how it relates to the job and why it's necessary. Before signing on, ask for data on who passes and who fails, and look for possible discriminatory patterns.

Latest News
Darling Berlin's latest movie "Ugly & Blind" by director and screenwriter Tom Lass is starting in cinemas all over Germany on September, 21st! The highly acclaimed movie has won several prizes, e.g. at the Filmfest Munich where "Ugly & Blind" has won the the prestigious FIPRESCI prize, which is awarded by the International Federation of Film Critics, or at the Filmfest Oldenburg, where it has been awarded with the German Independence Award for 'Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble'. Press critics are enthusiastic, too: "…a wonderful love story…" (Der Tagesspiegel); "…a brisk and dreamy Coming-of-age drama…" (Süddeutsche Zeitung).
With Axel Ranisch, Karin Hanczewski, Jakob Lass, Lana Cooper, Martina Schöne-Radunski and Amelie Kiefer in supporting roles, we meet many actors from other Darling Berlin movies in "Blind & Ugly". Here is a short synopsis of the movie: Ferdi thinks he's ugly – but likes the fact Jona is interested in him. Maybe because she's blind. What Ferdi doesn't suspect: She's just pretending to be blind to be able to live cheaply in subsidized housing. How long can she maintain her charade? Can love, which is supposed to make you blind, even work out that way?
