There was a time when road and driving laws in Ireland were honoured more in the breach than the observance but no more. Increased vigilence and larger penalties have had an effect as has the massive growth in numbers of road users, which were the old ways still in practice would quickly lead to chaos.
Even smaller towns how have little on street parking, observant traffic police and enthusiastic traffic wardens. On the spot fines are the order of the day and wide powers to seize vehicles also tend to focus the mind!
Compliance with the law by Irish drivers, in common with those elsewhere, is not universal. Nor cyclists either it would seem!
No Parking by Waleed Alzuhair
Driving Licenses
You do not need any special license to drive in Ireland if you are from the USA, Canada, Australia or an EU country. If your license is in a non-roman script you will need an International Driving License to either drive here or to rent a car.
Seat Belts
The wearing of seat belts in mandatory in both the front and rear seats of a car. Children under 17 must where possible travel in the rear seats of the car, and the law requires that the driver off the car ensure that all children are suitably restrained.. On the spot fines apply to those not wearing seat belts.
Speed Limits
Speed limits are expressed in Kilometers per Hour and well signposted.
The penalties for exceeding speed limits are stiff, there are speed cameras in operation in many locations and your car hire company will quickly receive a fine notice if these cameras spot you – which will be an unpleasant extra cost waiting for you when you return the car. So it definitely pays to be aware of them and to observe them.
There are broadly 4 different types of speed limit in effect on Irish roads, each of which is dependent on the type of road you are travelling on - keep on the look out for speed limit signs.
Remember that the speedometer in your car will read in Kilometres per hour, not Miles per hour!
|Road Type
|Motorway (Blue Signs)
|120 km/h
|75 mph
|National Roads (Green signs)
|100 km/h
|62 mph
|Regional/Local Roads (White Signs)
|80 km/h
|50 mph
|In Towns & Cities
|50 km/h
|31 mph
Special Speed Limits: Apply in areas where there is a particular safety reason for limiting speed. When these lower limits apply you will see road signs like the red ringed one here stating the speed limit.
If you are planning a journey bear in mind that in the area of both towns and places frequented by tourists traffic tends to actually move at speeds well less than the limit.
Parking Regulations
These are made locally and vary hugely in different parts of the country, even Irish people travelling to another area get very confused, so it is no wonder that visitors are often totally mystified.
Highly enthusiastic parking wardens police the regulations and are very vigilant, some seem to take an inordinate amount of pleasure in catching transgressors – this I believe is a universal trait!
Illegally parked cars can and will be clamped or may even be towed away and impounded. Many a hapless visitor has gone to the police to report a 'stolen' car, only to find it is in the pound, awaiting the payment of a sizeable sum of money before it will be released.
You can take it that parking on the street is severely restricted in most towns and cities in Ireland, and around busy tourist areas.
The signs on the left indicate, respectively, areas where parking is and is not permitted. A total ban on parking is also indicated by a double yellow line on the side of the road, a single yellow line indicates that parking may be permitted at some times, usually at weekends or out of business hours.
Check signs in the area for details carefully while someone is still with the car – don't just chance it!
Disc Parking or Pay-and-Display parking applies in many places for on-street parking and in surface car parks [parking lots]. These schemes vary from place to place, but generally permits are available to purchase in shops close to the parking area.
Drinking and Driving
Don't even think about it.
The law is strict and Gardai run regular checks on motorists. The legal limit for alcohol is 80 milligrammes of alcohol per 100 millilitres of blood, which just about allows you to have a glass of wine with a meal – though of course the best and safest advice of all is to avoid alcohol completely if you are driving.

The purpose of the meeting scheduled for 7:30 tonight [Wednesday] in the Brookfield High School auditorium has shifted from being a yes-or-no vote on to an informational session on the project and a vote to set the date for a referendum.
The project, which was originally slated to be on the ballot for the Parks Round II referendum, was moved to a Town Meeting with split and after Brookfield was awarded .
A petition began circulating after the BOF's February 9 meeting to move the project back to a referendum. The petition and, to-date, has accumulated over 380 signatures, though only 235 have been officially verified by the Town Clerk's Office.
The Town Meeting will now be used to have a discussion about the project as it stands and schedule the referendum, which must be between seven and 14 days from tonight's meeting.
Town officials, pro and con, and petitioners alike all agree with the need to renovate Kids Kingdom and the need to do it sooner than later, as the current structure presents numerous safety hazards. Where they differ, however, is on the price and implementation.
While the speced costs [included above] are itemized, the overall project will be put out to bid once approved, per standard procedure, according to Dennis DiPinto, director of Parks and Recreation.
"This project was intended to go to bid from day one," DiPinto said. "Just because this guy [Landscape Structures] has worked with us for a year doesn't mean he gets a half-million dollar project," he assured.
The bid that goes out, however, will have to specify exactly what the town is looking to purchase, including the labor force.
According to BOF Chairman Bill Tinsley, who was one of the spearheads of the petitioning effort, the playground can be built for between $350,000 and $360,000, with the bulk of the savings coming from eliminating $90,000 worth of installation costs by organizing a volunteer workforce.
"$500,000 is our outside number, it's not our number," First Selectman Bill Davidson said, though he added that there was "somewhat of a moral commitment" for the town to spend close to $250,000.
The state grant that was requested by former Gov. M. Jodi Rell and approved by the Bond Commission in December is not a matching grant and has no strings attached to its use, other than it be dedicated to the Kids Kingdom project, however in the conversation that led to the grant request, Davidson proposed that the town would match the state's donation on the project with a projected cost of $500,000.
"I think it would be totally wrong to do a $300,000 project and say, 'Thank you, we put in our $50,000 and we're done,'" he said.
While Tinsley stressed that he "wants to see us build a good playground that meets our needs by this spring," it is his "personal belief that if we approve half-a-million dollars we'll spend half-a-million dollars," he said. Tinsley's suggestion is that Brookfield residents should vote down the proposal at referendum and send it back to the BOS to consider a volunteer workforce.
The Kids Kingdom playscape, as it stands, .
Though a volunteer force has yet to be put together, "The second we get an approved project, I'm confident that the volunteer workforce will come together," Tinsley said.
Davidson is less confident that a volunteer force can be put together in time to have the new playground finished by the summer.
"I'm not sure you can spontaneously recreate what Kids Kingdom was," he said. "Yeah, we did that once, but I'm not sure you can just replicate it."
According to Davidson, a volunteer effort has to be organic, grassroots and is not something that can be forced.
"The thing about a volunteer group is it comes to you, you don't go out and get it," he said. Were a qualified group to come to him with a plan to organize, he would then consider utilizing a volunteer workforce, he said.
This pulling together of a workforce would have to be finished before the project was put out to bid however shortly after the pending referendum to be scheduled for mid March, a mission that took over two years the first time around.
"Many comments are being made comparing this effort with the '89ers," Tinsley said. This time around, because the funding is being secured separately, "that makes the volunteer effort for this playground much more focused and timed," he suggested
"The irony of this whole thing is that when we proposed the playground way back then, this [it being built by volunteers] was the biggest controversy then," said Nancy Power, who organized the 1989 effort along with Linda Mitten.
Though the fundraising effort took over two years, it was also a major reason the 1989 organizers were able to get so many volunteers to help with the construction, according to Power.
"With the fundraising, people became more aware of it," she said, adding that she believes it would be much harder to get the same turnout today. "It was much easier 20 years ago — people weren't working two jobs, there was more time," Power said, reflecting on the former size of the PTOs and other volunteer organizations compared to their numbers today.
While Power wasn't able to estimate how long it might take to cull together a volunteer force absent the fundraising process, overall, recruiting and organizing a few thousand volunteers is a "tremendous undertaking," she said. "Huge."
One local man who is familiar with organizing over a thousand volunteers to a single purpose, , who runs the , came forward to offer his expertise, but backed away due to the daunting size of the effort.
"It's beyond our capabilities," Brady said, as he would have to be dedicated to the project for the entire summer, forcing him to forego the other aspects of his ministry: helping to fix up the homes of those in need.
"I spoke with the First Selectman" about the project and came to the conclusion that "the guys that do it everyday are the guys who should be doing it — the professionals," he said.
A professional crew that helps design playgrounds and organize a volunteer workforce also came forward, Must Have Play, a splinter company from Leathers, which helped Power, Mitten and the 1989 effort.
Must Have Play's Michael Cohen, who worked for Bob Leathers up until his retirement a few years ago, has offered free consultation to build a Kids Kingdom II in the same style as the existing playground for $250,000.
Cohen stated that his company helps through the entire process, from designing something that the community wants to bringing together a volunteer force and organizing and supervising the build. He was also "very confident" that for the $250,000 quote, Brookfield would be able to build a playground with a comparable "play value" as the one there now.
"It will not look like the Landscape Structures design," Cohen admitted. "If you want a manufactured playground, then Landscape Structures is as good as it gets. But if you want something like Kids Kingdom, then we are confident that we can help you achieve that for a whole lot less money."
As with the Landscape Structures design, a Must Have Play structure would be "more than fully ADA compliant," according to Cohen, "To the letter and the spirit of the law."
Davidson was against going with Must Have Play's proposal, as he believes the bid should be awarded to "a proven operator and a playground that we think is appropriate for the town of Brookfield."
Cohen and his team have worked in the business for many years (almost a century collectively, according to Cohen), "As their own stand alone company, they don't have a history," Davidson said.
Going with the Must Have Play design route would mean a dramatically different Kids Kingdom II from the one proposed, however Landscape Structures also offers a community-build option.
According to their website, the company has overseen the installation of thousands of volunteer-built playgrounds and offers community-build consultations as part of their projects.

about the website gallery
okay is anyone esle having problems with the gallery on the website because the pictures don't come up like one file does but none of the others they don't have the thumbnaiols of all the pictures.
i was just wondering if thats a probablem that everyone has does the people that run this site all ready know this or is it just me <3
(and also i have a message sent to me but i don't know how to open it i've clicked on it but it doesn't come up with anything just blank)
We have reason to believe the vulnerability that caused the site to get full of malicious code was part of the gallery script, so the galleries are offline until further notice.
okay thank for letting me know i just wanted to know if it was my computer that was wrong or not<3
i'd recomend running a virus scanner, incase the code was able to excecute on your pc when you visited the gallery
heh, it's within the last month, and its not the images that are affected its the actual php pages.
If you use firefox your pretty much safe anyway (how do you think we're fixing it without infecting our own pcs?) It's those fools still using MSIE that are in trouble.
Its a virus that is well know, so any virus scanner will pick it up.
thank god im using firefox :D
Hi Digital Ice!
I was just wondering if this post is about the Trojan Click Counter (what's-its-name-anyway) virus-thing? Since I got couple of alerts from my F-Secure about a Trojan trying something and since this was the only page I was currently looking, I guessed it came here, specifically from the galleries.
Hopefully you don't get annoyed if many other people have also asked about this same issue. Since I can't tell that for sure from the previous posts.
Thanks anyway and hope you get it fixed. This IS the best Keira site out there!

When your ninth consecutive loss is a 58-0 beatdown by a division rival, it doesn't seem like the following week's spread could be high enough. But with the struggling Lions coming to town - losers of five straight in their own right - the Cardinals are just seven-point underdogs.
After winning their first four games and covering three spreads, the dilapidated Cardinals have lost nine straight and gone 2-6-1 against the spread. The recent beating they took from the Seahawks has head coach Ken Whisenhunt continuing his quarterback carousel, benching John Skelton in favor of Ryan Lindley after Skelton threw four picks against Seattle. With opponents receiving short fields on every other possession, the Cardinals may struggle to win another game this season.
The Lions, despite their five-game skid, have been much better than the Cardinals. They were jobbed out of a win against Houston on Thanksgiving and have lost to Indy, Minnesota and twice to Green Bay. Detroit was competitive in every one of those games in the roughest part of their schedule. As it stands, the Lions are 4-8-1 against the spread and have not been reliable favorites. They are 2-5 in games they are favored with lone covers against Seattle and Jacksonville.
The Lions defense is also banged up, with three members of their secondary and Nick Fairley all missing practice on Wednesday. The health of Detroit's defense will be key in covering the spread on Sunday.

There have been few times this year where the Nationals have been doing everything right. That's mostly been the case for the last four games, and was again tonight in an 8-3 win over the Brewers. The Nationals got an impressive six-inning start from Collin Balester, scored some runs off Carlos Villanueva and didn't make an error for the fourth straight game. It was as simple as that.
In fact, it's come easily enough for the Nationals the last four days that it makes you wonder what their record would've been if they'd harnessed that kind of play earlier this year.
"I think we're just feeling this is what we could've been doing all along," interim manager Jim Riggleman said. "It's hard to play errorless baseball. It's hard to have everything going your way, and we finally got some breaks."
Balester went six innings, allowing two runs on five hits and walking none. He said he made a minor mechanical adjustment at Class AAA Syracuse, focusing more on staying tall in his delivery rather than using the drop-and-drive style he's had in the past. On Tuesday night, he looked as efficient as he has in the majors, needing just 93 pitches to get through six innings.
The Nats got three homers — a solo shot from Nyjer Morgan to lead off the game, a fifth-inning blast from Adam Dunn that left the park on one bounce and landed in the parking lot and a three-run homer from Cristian Guzman in the eighth inning that put the game away.
"This is what I expected," Dunn said. "I expected to score a lot of runs, get good pitching and win a lot of games."
The Nats will try to clinch a series victory tomorrow night at 8:05, when Garrett Mock opposes Manny Parra.

A NOTE TO EMAILPHILES, CRACKBERRY ADDICTS, AND TURBOTEXTERS 135 Scenario 4: Hostile Reply-Alls This scenario combines a few of the previous points. Most of us have seen someone on an email thread suddenly call out another person on the thread through a "reply all" message. It's essentially the same as being dressed down in a meeting. It can get worse, such as when the recipient tries to discuss the issue privately, only to have the other person reply by bringing the full group back on the email! It's down- right hostile behavior. I had a client whose manager hit the Reply-all button so frequently that he refused to respond to emails. It created an environment of fear and retaliation. He tried to address it directly with his manager but was never successful. No surprise that he moved on. Suffice it to say that this strategy accomplishes little. Whether it's a group of peers or colleagues at mixed levels, as soon as any individ- ual's issue turns the least bit negative, get off the group email and handle it one-on-one. If it seems like it could be embarrassing to dis- cuss in a group, it is.

ATLANTA -- The wiggle room is gone.
The Georgia Tech football team must win three of its five final games against FBS competition in order to become bowl eligible. With two of those games against national powers Clemson and Georgia, that means there is no room for error in the games in which Tech is reasonably expected to be favored.
"We're coming back home and we've got to win at home," said sophomore Adam Gotsis. "We can't afford to lose any more games this year."
After opening the season with three straight wins, Tech has lost three in a row and has lost any breathing room. Barring an upset win against Clemson or Georgia, the Jackets must sweep Syracuse, Virginia and Pitt to extend their streak of 16 straight postseason appearances.
The drama begins to unfold this week when the Yellow Jackets host Syracuse at Bobby Dodd Stadium. It's the first time the two teams have been as ACC opponents and the first time they've played in Atlanta.
"We're disappointed, we'll go back, try to get better," coach Paul Johnson said. "I can promise you, there ain't no quit in me. I don't think there's any quit in those guys in the locker room. We'll go back and work and see if we can get squared away."
Winning those three games is certainly possible, but won't be easy. Syracuse (3-3) just went to Raleigh and beat N.C. State 24-10. Pitt (3-2) played well in a 19-9 loss at Virginia Tech. And Virginia (2-4) beat BYU, which drilled Tech a week ago, in the season opener.
"We're halfway through the season," Johnson said. "I think the players are excited to come home, play a game and get things turned around."
In some ways Syracuse is similar to Tech. Both average 421 yards on offense - although the Orange lean more heavily on the pass. Tech leads the ACC and is sixth nationally in rushing with 290.3 yards per game.
Syracuse has been a better team since it moved Terrel Hunt into the starting quarterback role. The sophomore has thrown for 594 yards and seven touchdowns, with five interceptions. He can also run; he had 92 yards last week, the most by an Orange quarterback since Donovan McNabb in 1998.
The running game is led by junior Jerome Smith, who has 482 yards and eight touchdowns. He has two straight 100-yard games after running for 140 against N.C. State. Prince-Tyson Gulley offers an alternative to Smith's power; he ran for 132 yards last week for his first career 100-yard game and has 316 yards this season.
Tech has better defensive numbers -- the Jackets allow about 40 yards fewer yards per game - but Syracuse brings a heavier pass rush, evidenced by their 20 sacks. Tackle Jay Bromley is a powerhouse with six sacks and nine tackles for loss.
It will be crucial for Tech to handle the pressure better than it has the last three weeks. Virginia Tech, Miami and BYU all successfully got after Vad Lee and neutralized his effectiveness.
"We're fully expecting a lot of stunts, a lot of blitzes, that kind of thing," Johnson said.
Much could depend on the battered Tech offensive line. There's no guarantee that senior Ray Beno's foot will be improved enough to allow his return. Morgan Bailey has suffered through a series of frustrating injuries that have kept him in and out of the lineup. Center Jay Finch and guard Shaq Mason are playing, but both are dinged up.
The pressure on the line has been a factor in Tech's lack of ability to consistently hit the outside pitch man. The Jackets have gotten a solid inside effort from B-backs David Sims (353 yards) and Zach Laskey (186 yards). The top A-back runner is Robert Godhigh (254), but he's also the team's best perimeter blocker.
"We've practice since spring ball against a good rush team in our kids and I think that has helped us a lot," Syracuse coach Scott Shafer said. "The biggest thing is that we have to continue to understand how important it is this week to play disciplined football. Option football is about tackling all three guys that could get the football so we have to be extremely sound in who you have and finish your job."

Samuel W. Lanham Jr., an AAJ Board member, senior partner at Lanham Blackwell in Bangor, Maine, and dear friend to so many in our Association, died peacefully from mesothelioma June 19, 2013, in Rockport, Maine. He was born Dec. 13, 1951, in Alexandria, Virginia, and raised in Culpeper, Va.
A member of AAJ for more than 30 years, Sam was an outstanding trial lawyer who served in numerous important capacities, including, as a member of the Board of Governors, on which he served with distinction for more than seven years; and as a celebrated Past President of the Maine Trial Lawyers Association; and the Bar Association of Penobscot County, Maine.
Sam brought justice to so many wrongly injured persons in Maine and throughout the country, and represented plaintiffs with complex pharmaceutical and medical device claims involving, among others, Avandia, Vioxx, FenPhen, the Ortho Evra birth control patch, Guidant defibrillators, and various defective knee and hip prostheses. He also represented Maine classes in three national consumer class actions, including one that resulted in the largest ever settlement in the history of antitrust price fixing litigation; and another, a false and deceptive marketing action against Philip Morris, that was favorably decided by the Supreme Court.
Sam was an Eagle Scout and a graduate of Culpeper schools, College of William & Mary in Virginia, and Wake Forest Law School, Winston Salem, N.C. He was a gifted singer and musician who brought people from diverse backgrounds together through music. In his 40-year association with Up with People, Sam was a cast member, staff member, musical director, vocal coach, co-founder of the International Alumni Association, local program sponsor, and member of International Board of Directors. He met a fellow cast member, Stephanie Laite, from Camden, while in Up with People. She and Sam married in 1979 and they had three sons, who have carried on the family tradition of community service and entertaining audiences worldwide. Sam served for 15 years on the board of the Bangor Halfway House; was an early supporter and greeter of the troops from Operation Desert Storm in the early 1990s; and was an active board member and president of Bangor Symphony Orchestra. Sam, with his wife and children, was a part of the Royal School of Church Music Choir at St. John's Episcopal Church for more than 30 years. Together, the family participated in many local community and church musical and theater productions.
Sam is survived by his wife, Stephanie Laite Lanham; and three sons, Samuel W. Lanham III of Orlando, Fla., Andrew Taylor Lanham of Los Angeles, and John William Lanham of Denver. They were by his side along with his mother, Georgia Mae Lanham; brother, William Glenn Lanham; and the Laite family. He is also survived by niece, Katherine Marie Lanham; nephew, Isaac Tully Lanham; uncle, Paul Emerson Read of Bastrop, La.; and several cousins. His father, Samuel Wilbur Lanham predeceased him.
A memorial service will be held 10 a.m. July 22 at All Souls Church, Bangor. Gifts may be made to Up with People International Alumni Association, Lanham Fund, UWPIAA, P.O. Box 72, Gardiner, NY 12525, http://www.uwpiaa.org/, to Campaign/Sam Lanham Memorial Fund; or Champion the Cure for "Sam's Team," http://www.ctcchallenge.org/.

Structural Engineer
Structural Engineers work on a wider variety of projects than ever before, thanks to advances in technology and an abundance of creative new building materials. For example, structural engineers can work with entertainment companies to design state-of-the-art amusement park rides or work in the petroleum industry, developing offshore oil rigs in locations that were previously considered unstable. These professionals also contribute their efforts to other large construction projects, like inner-city light rail systems and underground supports for new skyscrapers.

SRxMM | INCOMING
Filed under Stayfresh Crew on 01/20/11 by SRxMM
SRxMMSRxMM is short for the collaborative effort: Soul Regiment x Motivate Movement who have decided that working together builds a stronger establishment. By developing a brand identity with its acronym, they hope to exemplify unity. In many ways, you may view the structure as follows: Soul Regiment = Apparel Brand | Motivate Movement = Design Haus. Since 2000, Motivate Movement has aspired to be a motivational force in our community; bridging the gap between genres and comrades in art through design. Our directive is to capture and preserve the essence that transmits the youthful spirit and purity for people's love for culture. Our brand will never claim to be the best, but we will always stand by our dedication to deliver quality messages to you. We dedicate our work to Michael "DREAM" Francisco, the reason for our establishment. Through his death, our phoenix arose. Our headquarters is located in the San Francisco / Bay Area and production facilities based in Oahu, Hawaii.

The past couple of weeks, I've somewhat been fasting because of a sports injury. In viewing some Gather posts, I've seen some scrumptious meals. Due to my less than normal activity level, but still wanting something good to eat, I checked my 'pantry'. Oct 9th, Donald H posted a recipe--Conroy's corn casserole. Corn, butter, pasta, onion, cheddar cheese--yep, have all that. Turned out delicious. Then made a simple banana bread for the umteenth time, another delicious 'pantry' staple.The recipe for banana bread is common enough, but here's "mine."
3 large ripe bananas
1 cup of granulated sugar
1 egg
1/4 cup of oil
1&1/2 cups of all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon of baking powder
1 cup of chopped almonds
For a larger loaf use 2 cups of flour and 1/2 cup of oil and 2 eggs
I bake mine at 325 degrees in a 9x5-inch pan for 55 minutes
For a special crumble topping I need to credit chef Ina Garten
Her's is for a 9-inch round cake
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/3 cup light brown sugar
1 tsp cinnamon
1/8 tsp nutmeg
1 stick of butter melted
1 1/3 cups flour
"mine" altered for the 9x5-inch pan
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup light brown sugar
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 cup butter melted
1/2 cup flour
Combine sugars, cinnamon, nutmeg in a bowl
Stir in melted butter
stir in flour mix well
pour over quick bread or cake batter in pan and bake

If the phrase "Irish/Cajun music" makes you tilt your head and piques your interest, then be sure to attend Music on the Divide's St. Patrick's Day concert with Tom Rigney and Flambeau.
The concert is on Sunday, March 17 at 3 p.m. at the IOOF Hall, 6240 Main St. in Georgetown.
A unique amalgamation of toe-tapping music, the group's Irish tunes and Cajun beat are orchestrated in a bigger-than-life presentation by Tom Rigney and Flambeau — musicians extraordinaire.
Rigney, the fiery, electrifying violinist and composer, joins forces with some of the finest musicians on the San Francisco music scene to form Tom Rigney and Flambeau.
This great band specializes in blazing Cajun and zydeco two-steps, low-down blues, funky New Orleans sounds, and beautiful ballads and waltzes.
Most of the songs are composed by Rigney, but the group also mixes in a few classics from the Cajun/zydeco/New Orleans songbook.
Rigney's charismatic stage presence, humor and high-energy showmanship pull the audience into his performances and make them feel as though they're a part of the show.
Tom Rigney and Flambeau were voted Best Cajun/Zydeco Band of 2004 by the West Coast Blues Hall of Fame.
Members of Rigney's band are Rigney on violin, Danny Caron on electric guitar, Caroline Dahl on piano, Steve Parks on bass and Ian Hoffman on drums.
It's hard to know whether to be more impressed by Rigney's playing, his compositions or the back-up support he gets. And if, along the way, you pick up a trace of Rigney's Irish roots, or a little "swing" from his background in rock and roll, it just makes the musical gumbo that much tastier.
Tickets are $15 and can be purchased at the door.
Season ticket subscribers will be admitted at 2 p.m. while those who have left their fate to "Irish Luck" will be admitted at 2:30 p.m.
To further celebrate the "wearing of the green," one lucky Leprechaun concert ticket holder may have a chance at winning a mysterious pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. Special libations may also be provided — details remain a secret.
For more information about Music on the Divide visit MusicOnTheDivide.org. The next concert is on April 7 and features classical pianist Thomas Pandolfi.

Fairmont Hotel and Resorts has recently announced that they have signed on with a company that offers "electronic rehab getaways."
Four of their hotels will now feature the program, which locks a strung-out infophile's BlackBerry into a safe and has him or her sign a waiver saying they won't get online for the duration of their stay.
The Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise offers a $459 two day "digital detox" complete with herbal teas, a guided hike and a paddle-boat lake trip, while the $499 package at The Fairmont Banff Springs offers a meditation book and access to fitness clubs and mineral pools. Resorts in Jasper and Whistler have similar deals.

Al Sacco Jul 22, 2008 at 9:01 am
Is it me or are the prices for this "digital detox" a bit steep? I mean, come on, $500 for a two-night stay for a book, access to gyms and pools and the ability to lock up your BlackBerry?!? That's just silliness.
I actually wrote a blog post a while back about a U.S. hotel that was running a similar promotion--that is what this whole this is about, after all: promotion. The Sheraton Hotel and Towers in Chicago offered a free three-night stay and dinner for two at its signature steak house to the first person who could lock up their BlackBerry for 48 hours. That's not bad.
nothin2seehere Jul 22, 2008 at 11:15 am
I'll take half of that and lock your Blackberry away for double the time! It's an offer not to be refused.
Canadian BB Travelling Man Jul 22, 2008 at 11:53 am
I just thought I would mention to everyone who is so easily able to critique the prices here, they obviously have not looked up the actual facilities they would be staying at. First, both Banff and Lake Louise are two of Canada's most beautiful locations ever. Both quaintly located in between some of the highest peaks in the world, nestled in the beautiful Canadian Rockies, these two hotels sometimes have a price per room, without any of these services including hiking and trips, upwards of $600.00 per night! Although that might be outrageous, people pay it. Why? Because Lake Louise and Banff truly are great places to travel, party, ski, hike, or do whatever. So if you actually bought yourself a blackberry, paid them the fee for the two nights, locked your new blackberry up for that time, then left. You might be paying considerably less than the fool who isn't addicted to anything that is paying $600 a night having to find his OWN entertainment!
MJGEGB Jul 22, 2008 at 10:58 pm
Wait how much to they pay you to torment you like this no internet make me angry and you wont like me when I'm angry. Hotels are supposed to give you free internet not ban you from it.

The Oakland County Law and Research Library hosts the University of Detroit Mercy School of Law Mobile Law Office two Wednesday mornings a month, from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. This free legal assistance clinic is available to low income individuals. For a private consultation with an attorney or a law student to help resolve legal issues, attendees must sign in onsite before 12:30 p.m.
Participation is on a first come, first served basis. Law professors, their students and volunteer attorneys will answer questions about the law, help citizens to help themselves to resolve their legal issues, and make referrals to other agencies for non-legal matters. All services through the MLO are free of charge.
The MLO itself, a large converted recreational vehicle, often parks in a visible spot near our building. However, when the attorneys visit the Oakland County Law and Research Library, they meet with patrons in the library which is located in the West Wing Extension of the Oakland County courthouse, Building 14E, at 1200 N. Telegraph Road in Pontiac.
This program is made possible through a generous grant from the Oakland County Bar Foundation. For more information, please call the University of Detroit Mercy School of Law Mobile Law Office at (313) 596-0262.

By developing a brand identity with its acronym, they hope to exemplify unity. In many ways, you may view the structure as follows: Soul Regiment = Apparel Brand | Motivate Movement = Design Haus. Since 2000, Motivate Movement has aspired to be a motivational force in our community; bridging the gap between genres and comrades in art through design. Our directive is to capture and preserve the essence that transmits the youthful spirit and purity for people's love for culture. Our brand will never claim to be the best, but we will always stand by our dedication to deliver quality messages to you. We dedicate our work to Michael "DREAM" Francisco, the reason for our establishment. Through his death, our phoenix arose. Our headquarters is located in the San Francisco / Bay Area and production facilities based in Oahu, Hawaii.

The Bottom Line
- Large collection of different paintball game variations
- Clear writing and instructions
- Helpful diagrams and formatting
- Many games require considerable explanation before playing
- Some games are not practical to actually implement and play
- Some games require props that are not commonly used in paintball games
- Written by Ron Smith and Parr Young
- Contains more than 200 game types and variations
- Paintballer's Almanac Home Page
Guide Review - Paintballer's Almanac Review
The Paintballer's Almanac is simply formatted where each page features a game type. A title identifies the game and necessary equipment is identified with small pictures. Following the necessary supplies there are sections explaining the setup, the rules, some tips and any variations on the basic game.
The Paintballer's Almanac excels in two areas: variety and clarity. The many variations allow for players to focus on many different aspects of the game (shooting, moving, etc.) and the instructions clearly explain what is expected. The area where the Almanac struggles arises out of the attempt to have a little bit of everything - some games are simply not practical (too much preparation, too confusing, too long to play, etc.). Despite being forced to wade through some impractical game ideas there are enough interesting game variations to give an intrepid paintballer many days worth of new games to experiment with.

Six regional bands will perform at an all-day music festival in Andes on Memorial Day Weekend as a tribute to their late friend and supporter, radio host Terry Doyle.
The event, dubbed "Doylestock," will be held outdoors Sunday, May 26, at the Andes Hotel Summer Shack at 110 Main St. in Andes.
Bands will perform from 2 to 8 p.m. The Doylestock lineup features Heaven's Back Door, The Honest Mistakes, The Blues Maneuver, George Kilby Jr. and the Road Dogs, Just Throw Money and Esquela. Disc jockey Patrick del Rosario will host.
The bands will perform 50-minute sets at the top of each hour, with Esquela featured in the close-down set at 7 p.m.
Admission to the rain-or-shine event is $10.
Food and beverages will be available for sale. The event will feature raffle prizes donated from local businesses and two 50/50 drawings.
All proceeds will be donated to the newly established Terry Doyle Fund for Young Musicians, which will be used to support performances by fledgling artists from throughout the region. The fund is being administered by First Night Oneonta Inc., a charitable arts organization.
Donations, which are tax-deductible, can be sent to the Doyle Fund in care of First Night, P.O. Box 101, Oneonta, NY 13820.
Doyle died of heart failure in February at age 46. He was a longtime newsman and host with radio stations in Delaware County.
He was passionate about live local music, and he created radio programs — including "Imprint" and "Crackle" — to promote the work of musicians he admired. For his last 2½ years, Doyle's shows originated from WIOX in Roxbury, and his work was broadcast on radio stations in the Finger Lakes and Hudson Valley.

I always enjoy finding a new tool that makes things easier. Mike Grace pointed me to an awesome product. The product is called Charles. It runs on Windows, OSX, and Linux.
About Charles
Charles is a web proxy (HTTP Proxy / HTTP Monitor) that runs on your own computer. Your web browser (or any other Internet application) is then configured to access the Internet through Charles, and Charles is then able to record and display for you all of the data that is sent and received.
In Web and Internet development you are unable to see what is being sent and received between your web browser / client and the server. Without this visibility it is difficult and time-consuming to determine exactly where the fault is. Charles makes it easy to see what is happening, so you can quickly diagnose and fix problems.
Charles makes debugging quick, reliable and advanced; saving you time and frustration!
Key Features
- SSL Proxying – view SSL requests and responses in plain text
- Bandwidth Throttling to simulate slower Internet connections including latency
- AJAX debugging – view XML and JSON requests and responses as a tree or as text
- AMF – view the contents of Flash Remoting / Flex Remoting messages as a tree
- Repeat requests to test back-end changes
- Edit requests to test different inputs
- Breakpoints to intercept and edit requests or responses
- Validate recorded HTML, CSS and RSS/atom responses using the W3C validator
It has become invaluable in debugging KRL apps. I can recommend Charles without reserve.
Another indispensible tool for KRL app development is the JSON Editor.

Parenting Tip: Shots for Kids
Obviously I'm not a parent, but I thought I'd share a trick that my parents used while we were growing up. I think this was a pretty smart way to make our doctor's appointments go more smoothly: We were rewarded if we didn't cry before getting a shot.
I think this trick is smart for 2 reasons. First, it kept us calm while at the doctor's office. That was good for my parents, I'm sure, but it also kept our fretting down, which made us less anxious about going to the doctor in the first place. Secondly, although we were told not to cry before getting a shot, my mom was always sure to tell us that it was ok to cry afterwards, if it hurt. Knowing we would get sympathy, if needed, eased our fears. And more often than not (as I remember it), tears didn't end up being necessary.
And what were we rewarded with? Ice cream! (From an ice cream shop, not the grocery store.)
I had a doctor's appointment today, and although I didn't get a shot, I did have blood drawn. I treated myself to frozen yogurt afterwards, and it hit the spot.
(Wedding cake with sprinkles & waffle cone bits and cookies & cream with Oreo pieces.)
No trackbacks yet.

40 Under Forty ceremony a gathering of success
U.S. Army Capt. Daniel Meegan's absence was excused because of another honor. The Rollinsford native is studying at the John F. Kennedy Special Warfare Center and School in North Carolina.
"He's just done a wonderful job and to see him in the company of such great young people, it was just incredible. I'm proud of him and everyone else," said his mother, Janet Meegan, who accepted the plaque for her son and received a standing ovation on her way back to her seat.
"I had a hard time walking back. I appreciated that. That was unexpected."
New Hampshire Union Leader Publisher Joseph W. McQuaid welcomed the crowd of more than 300 people attending the ceremony at the Grappone Conference Center. This is the 12th straight year the newspaper has recognized a group of 40 people under the age of 40. The Class of 2013 included 25 men and 15 women, all nominated by friends or peers for their contributions to communities throughout the state.
"Its members include 20 New Hampshire-born sons and daughters, which is pretty impressive because most everyone in New Hampshire is from somewhere else," McQuaid quipped, drawing chuckles from the audience.
Gov. Maggie Hassan was unable to attend, but sent her congratulations in a written message via Executive Council member Colin Van Ostern, who was also one of the 40 honorees.
"I've had a number of friends who I've nominated for this over the past 10 years so it's really special for me to be recognized in the same way," Van Ostern said.
A brief biography for every recipient was read as the honorees made their way to the front of the banquet room to receive the honorary plaque and pose for pictures.
Former Gov. John Lynch, only three months out of office, was one of the presenters and joked that McQuaid had suggested he bring his resume and network during the banquet with some of the state's young leaders.
"I don't think there's anything more noble that we can do than make a difference in the lives of other people and that's what you all are doing every day," Lynch said.
The event was cosponsored by Citizens Bank and the Business and Industry Association of New Hampshire. BIA board chairman John Morison shared introduction duties with McQuaid as all 40 recipients were recognized.
Joe Carelli, president of Citizens Bank New Hampshire, also congratulated the honorees during a brief round of opening remarks.
"Our 40 honorees are part of a very elite group," Carelli said. "Each one of you has left and will continue to leave a very lasting impression on our state. Thank you for your contributions."

ATLANTA — Washington Wizards coach Eddie Jordan has decided to give the youth movement a try, electing to start rookie center JaVale McGee and second-year point guard Dee Brown for tonight's game against the Atlanta Hawks.
Roughly an hour and 15 minutes before tip-off, Jordan walked into the trainers room here in the visiting locker room at Phillips Arena, beckoned for McGee and then walked up to Brown, who was sitting in his locker, and told him to step into his office.
The players — both wide-eyed and unsure of what awaited — followed, but emerged with smiles of relief and excitement.
"That' was some scary [stuff]," McGee said to Brown with a grin.
"Yeah, a coach has never taken me into his office before and talked to me, so I didn't know what was going on," he exclaimed.
McGee returned to the trainers room and Brown sat back and couldn't help but soak up the moment.
"A smile came on my face automatically. It was just a crazy experience. It was just humbling and a blessing," said Brown, who spent his rookie season warming the bench in Utah and then played professionally in Turkey. "This is my first start in the NBA. I've just got to go out there and try to run the team and play whatever role they need me to play."
McGee, who is enters the game averaging 9.0 points and 6.0 rebounds and 1.1 blocks a game, replaces Etan Thomas as the starter. Thomas, who was out of basketball all last season while recovering from heart surgery, was expected to back Brendan Haywood up, but became the starter when Haywood had to have wrist surgery. Thomas is averaging 4.6 points and 3.4 rebounds.
Brown replaces Juan Dixon, who was starting in place of an injured Antonio Daniels. Dixon had given the Wizards a boost off the bench, averaging 6.8 points and 4.0 assists while directing several rallies from double-digit deficits. He also served as a good setup man for fellow backup guard Nick Young.
But when moved into the starting lineup, his numbers dipped slightly to 4.7 points and 3.6 assits, and wasn't his usual aggressive self because he had to defer to all-star forwards Antawn Jamison and Caron Butler.
Jordan said he felt like McGee and Brown could help the Wizards start games better, and that Dixon and Thomas probably are better suited to come off the bench.
"I don't have a problem with [Brown and McGee] because I know Dee is a pure point guard, and he's going to push the ball and look soley to distribute," Jordan said. "And felt that Juan is better in his aggressive role coming off the bench. He did an adequate job at point starting us out, looking to facilitate, but it takes away half of his aggressiveness and I want him to be him. So I like him coming off the bench.
"And I think JaVale will give us some athleticism at the rim, and again it goes to Etan. Etan is suited in his own way to come off the bench and bring some force in his way and he's been in that role for years. So we know what we have there opposed to Etan being a starter and still trying to find his way. … We're going to try it and see where it goes."
