England legend Peter Shilton banned from road after admitting drink-driving charge
By Ben Kendall, Press Association
Former England goalkeeper Peter Shilton has been banned from the road after admitting drink-driving.
The 63-year-old pleaded guilty to the charge during a 15-minute hearing at Colchester Magistrates' Court on Tuesday morning.
The court heard that he was found to have more than double the legal amount of alcohol in his system when he was breathalysed on February 24.
Ban: Former England goalkeeper Peter Shilton, pictured with his partner Stephanie Hayward, was banned from the road after admitting drink-driving at Colchester Magistrates Court
He was driving a 2010-registered Jaguar XF near the Essex home of his girlfriend, Stephanie Hayward, at the time and was caught after an anonymous tip-off to police.
As he left court, Shilton, who won a record 125 England caps, said: 'I've nothing to say, really - just that I had a very fair hearing.'
He left in a taxi from the nearby Colchester Town railway station.
Magistrate Ilona Perkins-Van Mil banned Shilton from driving for 20 months and ordered him to pay fines and costs totalling £1,020.
The court heard that Shilton had been drinking wine at a family celebration throughout the day but did not think he was over the limit.
Admission: Shilton attended a 15-minute hearing, where he pleaded guilty
Prosecutor Joseph Stickings said police were called to Ms Hayward's home at about 8.35pm.
They had received an anonymous tip-off that a man, who seemed drunk, had been driving nearby.
'As police were speaking to a woman at the address, Mr Shilton pulled up behind the police car,' Stickings said.
'The officer spoke to him and could smell alcohol on his breath. He was tested and provided a positive breath test.'
Shilton wore a charcoal suit with a tie today and spoke only to confirm his name and address and enter a plea.
He arrived with singer Ms Hayward, who sat in court wearing a black dress with lace sleeves.
Legend Former Nottingham Forest, Stoke and Derby No 1 Shilton represented England a record 125 times
Paul Tawn, mitigating, said Shilton
would find it difficult to pay any fine because his finances were
'complicated' as he is currently going through a divorce and selling his
He added: 'He'd had a very pleasant day at a family celebration and had consumed wine with meals throughout the day.
'He had gone to move his car closer to his partner's address because he had an early start.
'He didn't travel far, just a couple of streets, and wasn't driving very quickly at all.
'He was aware he had consumed alcohol but it was throughout the day so he did not think he was over the limit - if he had, he would not have pulled up behind the police officer.'
Paying the penalty: Shilton just fails to save a spot-kick during the 1990 World Cup semi-final shootout
Tawn described the arrest as a 'matter of deep regret' for Shilton, who has three points on his licence following a speeding offence in March 2011.
Perkins-Van Mil warned Shilton he could face custody if he breached the ban and ordered him to pay the fine in full before leaving the building.
As well as appearing 125 times for his country, Shilton played more than 1,000 competitive matches for 11 different clubs including Leicester, Stoke, Nottingham Forest, Derby and Southampton during his career.

Good Counsel: Counselor's Academy 2009
My good friend Martin Waxman (@martinwaxman) posted on his blog, great reasons to attend Counselor Academy this year. His post follows:
I wasn't able to make it that first year, but I've been faithfully attending ever since and I have to say it's one of the best things I've done in PR.
The conference is about all things agency with sessions on strategies for running and growing your business, finding and motivating your team, becoming more profitable, successful networking, emerging industry trends…
The people are smart, dynamic and open. You get into some amazing conversations that continue over dinner and drinks, long after the meetings are done. And because we're all running agencies of various shapes and sizes, there's a real common ground and it's easy to make business connections, and more importantly, good friends.
There are superb keynote speakers like psychologist Dr. Robert Cialdini or Robert Scoble. I first learned about social media at CA from Giovanni Rodriguez, who piqued my interest in the blogosphere and started my head swimming.
Whenever I leave a spring conference, I'm filled with fresh ideas, energized by the people and excited about our industry. It's the highlight of my year.
Hope to see you there.
Gini's Note: Ben Wheatley and I coordinated the breakout sessions for this year's conference. We focused on finding the best of the best to discuss profitability, people, and potential, including other communicators, but also leaders from other industries.
See you in Palm Springs May 31-June 2!

Sorry, I mean fluids are not meant to be part of the gas/liquid/solid/plasma classification.
I never heard that. Gosh, chemistry and physics are further apart than I thought!
No, they do take the shape of it. Maybe you're confused because sometimes you see "heavy" gases that kinda stay at the bottom of a container, but that's simply because there's gravity pulling it down. In vacuum, they'd be taking the shape of the container.
No, rather, this is what I imagine (the blue inside the container being the gas)
Kinda like smoke in a container

US 6741719 B1 Abstract A head phone comprises at least one loudspeaker of the type that rests on the outside of a user's ears, mounted on and held in place by a support. The loud speakers are equipped with a sound-concentrating duct that may be pivotable relative to the auditory canal of a user's ear so as to facilitate insertion of the duct a short distance into the auditory canal.
Claims(6) 1. A head phone comprising:
at least one loudspeaker unit of the type resting on the outside of the user's ear(s), and
a support means for the loudspeaker unit(s), said loudspeaker unit(s) being pivotably mounted on the support means, each loudspeaker unit having a sound producing side facing the user's eat and being equipped on its sound producing side with a sound concentrating duct arranged to be placed a short distance into the auditory canal when in use, said sound concentrating duct being equipped with a ball joint near the sound producing side of the loudspeaker unit for adaptation of the angle of the sound concentrating duct toward the user's ear.
2. The head phone of

6. The head phone of
Description The present invention relates to new a head phone design. More particularly, the invention concerns a head phone with support means for one or two loudspeaker units, and the loudspeaker unit or units is/are of the type resting on the outside of the user's ear/ears. Head phones are previously known in various embodiments, both with regard to transducer principle (e.g. dynamic types, electrostatic types), with regard to attachment means (e.g. head bow, self-supporting ear plug) and with regard to type of acoustical coupling to the user's ear (e.g. closed type, open type, ear plug type). The present application deals substantially with the last mentioned field, that is the acoustical coupling manner from the sound transducer to the user's auditory canal. Particularly within the field of auscultation, and specially in electronic auscultation using an amplified presentation of sounds picked up from e.g. a human body, it is important to use a light and comfortable head phone that is nevertheless capable of good transmission of a complete frequency range. In this connection low frequencies are of interest, but it is a disadvantage to have to rely on particularly heavy and large loudspeaker transducers. A �double action� head phone is previously known from U.S. Pat. No. 5,333,206, in which head phone there is arranged, in addition to an �ordinarily� arranged loudspeaker element for open engagement on the outside of the user's ear, a small supplementary element extending somewhat into the auditory canal, to produce treble frequencies therein. For the rest, this design is however of a traditional outside and open type, and it needs relatively large transducers to provide a good bass response. The present invention aims at providing good coupling of particularly the lower frequencies into the auditory canal from a conventionally supported head phone that may be of markedly light type. Thus, in accordance with the invention there is provided a head phone comprising at least one, preferably two loudspeaker units of the type resting on the outside of the user's ear, as well as a support means for the loudspeaker unit, e.g. a head bow. The head phone in accordance with the invention is characterised in that each loudspeaker unit is equipped on its sound transmission side with a sound concentrating duct arranged to be placed a short distance into the auditory canal when in use. In a favourable embodiment of the head phone in accordance with the invention, the sound concentrating duct is made at least partly of a flexible material, for adaptation to the user's ear. The sound-concentrating duct may be provided with an elastic sealing material for sealing against the edge of the auditory canal. In a favourable embodiment the sound-concentrating duct is substantially funnel-shaped, attached around the sound producing area of the loudspeaker unit and tapered in toward the user's ear. In a further favourable embodiment, the loudspeaker units may be pivotably mounted on the support means, for adaptation to the user in question. Besides, in a favourable embodiment the sound concentrating duct may be equipped, near the sound transmission side of the loudspeaker unit, with a ball joint for adapting the angle of the sound concentrating duct toward the ear of the particular user. In another aspect of the invention, there is provided an electronic stethoscope comprising a sound sensor unit for picking up body sounds and converting such sounds into electrical signals, an amplifying and processing unit for these signals, as well as a head phone that comprises at least one, preferably two loudspeaker units of the type that rests on the outside of the user's ear(s) and a support means for the loudspeaker unit(s), e.g. a head bow. The stethoscope in accordance with the invention is characterised in that each loudspeaker unit is equipped with a sound-concentrating duct on its sound transmission side, arranged to be placed a short distance into the auditory canal when in use. In the following the invention shall be discussed in further detail, and with reference to the embodiment example appearing from the appended drawings, wherein FIG. 1a shows a loudspeaker transducer, FIG. 1b shows the main part of a loudspeaker housing FIG. 1c shows the parts of FIG. 1a and FIG. 1b mounted together, FIG. 1d shows a closure part for the loudspeaker housing FIG. 1e shows an ear plug, FIG. 2 shows an arrangement of a ball joint on the sound concentrating duct, FIG. 3 shows a complete head phone in accordance with the invention, and FIG. 4 shows a complete head phone as used in a stethoscope and having an optional equipment in the form of ear bells on the outside of the loudspeaker units for closing out disturbing external sounds. Ear phones constructed to reproduce sound with hi-fi quality or almost hi-fi quality, are known in two main forms, namely in the form of (a) pieces resting on the outside of the ear and having relatively large loudspeaker units, and a sealing ring surrounding the whole ear (�closed� system), or without such sealing (�open� system), and (b) pieces to be inserted into the ear and having very small loudspeaker units, typically in connection with portable radio/cassette players CD/IMD players. Also in connection with dictaphone use there is known pieces to be inserted into the ear and having very small loudspeaker units, preferably mounted on a head band or a down-hanging bow. Usually, such head phones are not capable of reproducing a complete spectrum, and in particular low frequencies are attenuated. The present invention combines two important features, namely the feature of a large loudspeaker unit resting on the outside of the ear, and the feature of a short sound duct that is placed a short distance into the ear, and which preferably has elastic sealing material against the edge of the auditory canal. The bass response will be superior in comparison to small ear phones for portable equipment, and the sealing characteristics will be very good�little sound will leak out. Since the bass response will be good, one may, as a result of the sound duct into the ear, reduce the dimensions of the loudspeaker transducer element itself, and as a result this may provide a lighter head phone. In FIGS. 1a-1 e, embodiments are shown regarding the parts which, when mounted together, constitute a loudspeaker unit of the type that is an essential element of the head phone in accordance with the invention. FIG. 1a shows a special embodiment of a loudspeaker transducer, with reference numeral 1. A transducer 1 as shown here is of the piezoelectric type, is a trading commodity and can be supplied by e.g. the company Molex Norge. However, the invention is not limited to a special type of transducer but central features of the invention give, as mentioned above, the opportunity to utilize less heavy electro-acoustical transducers than in conventional loudspeaker units. In FIG. 1b appears the main part of a loudspeaker housing 2, which is also equipped with an attachment part 3 to a head bow (8, see FIG. 2). The loudspeaker housing 2 is supported on the attachment part 3 by means of a pivot joint, so that the angle of the housing toward the user's head/ear can be adjusted. In FIG. 1c the transducer 1 is shown laid into the loudspeaker housing 2, and FIG. 1c, FIG. 1d and FIG. 1e can be viewed as a whole, as an exploded view of the complete loudspeaker unit. FIG. 1d shows actually a closure part 4 for the loudspeaker housing, adapted to be threaded onto part 2 to make the housing complete. Centrally and extending out from the closure part 4 there is arranged a sound duct 5 that points in toward the auditory canal of the user. FIG. 1 shows an ear plug 6 adapted to be threaded onto the outside of the sound duct 5. The ear plug 6 is preferably made of a flexible material, both to ease the threading of the plug onto the sound concentrating duct 5, and to provide adaptation to the user's ear. Numeral 7 refers to an elastic collar to provide sealing and adaptation against is the auditory canal edge. It is also possible to obtain further improved adaptation to the ear of the particular user, by introducing a ball joint 11 in the interface between the sound concentrating duct 5 and the closure part 4 near the loudspeaker transducer, in such a manner that the duct 5 itself can be angled relative to the rest of the loudspeaker unit 10, for instance such as shown in FIG. 2. In the embodiment appearing from FIGS. 1d and 1 e, an approximately cylinder-shaped sound concentrating duct is shown, however the duct can also just as well be designed as a funnel with a tapering shape in toward the user's ear. FIG. 3 illustrates an embodiment of a complete head phone in accordance with the invention. Two loudspeaker units 10 are attached to a head bow 8, and reference numeral 9 refers to a pivotable support joint for the loudspeaker unit 10 on the bow attachment part 3. Thus, the user may himself adapt the alignment of the loudspeaker elements 10 in toward the ears. For the rest, the loudspeaker units 10 shown are composed of the parts shown in FIGS. 1a-1 e. FIG. 4 illustrates an alternative embodiment of a head phone that may comprise part of an electronic stethoscope, such as shown previously, including special equipment, for example, for acute use, of the loudspeakers where it may be important to shut out irrelevant external sound. To achieve this, two ear bells 12 are mounted outside the loudspeaker units 10 on the side opposite the sound producing side preferably with a �snap� mount. Soft edges on the bells 12 provide sealing around the user's ears. The ear bells 12 shown may possibly also comprise a more advanced type with built-in �anti sound� equipment, i.e., sound-producing equipment to produce �negative or out of phase� sound adapted to nullify the irrelevant external sound. Such equipment is per se known, and will provide an even more favorable auscultation situation. Patent Citations

What is shared hosting and dedicated hosting?
With shared hosting one website shares all server resources with other customers. With dedicated hosting - sometimes called dedicated server or managed hosting - the customer gets an entire server which is not shared with anyone else. The customer has full control over the dedicated server (root access) and usually can choose a hosting plan regulated by his needs when it comes to hardware, operating system and things like this. Most hosting providers offer server administration as an add-on service.
11 domains found on 22.214.171.124. Thus www.sis.Smkbk.com looks like shared hosting.

Looking for a little education on Bonding & Liability Insurance.
The difference between the two?
When both would be required?
When one or the other?
Thanks for any input.
way I understand it....
It's a performance Bond.You no finish, the client puts a claim into your bond company Bond company pays,then sues you;)
Better make sure you have a good bond co.
Liability ins. you already know
JC: Generally speaking, liability insurance covers you for things that might go wrong from your business operations. (You leave a sewage ejector pit cover off, someone falls in and breaks their hip. Your liability insurance covers that. You put in a water supply and a week later it leaks and takes out a ceiling. Your liability insurance covers that (under completed operations.)
Bonding is an insurer guaranteeing to come up with the money to complete something you are contractually responsible to complete. Lots of kinds of bonds.
Here in Mn to plumb, I have to get a plumbing bond. If I put in a sewer and leave the yard or road a mess, the State calls my bonding company and they have to spend up to $25k to make it right. I also need a Mechanical Bond. (Same deal as plumbing essentially).
Some jobs require you to provide a performance bond to get the job as part of the specs. If you underbid or go out of business for some reason the bonding company (insurance) company will step in and pay to get the job finished. Then they will come after you for restitution if at all possible.
See also:
-Bid Bonding
-Performance Bonding
or the term "Surety Bonding"
You are correct on the performance part of a performance bond. Around here they are called performance and payment bonds.
The payment refers to any subs or vendors you pay through the course of the work.
The owner wants to be covered from liens filed by subs or wholesalers.
Bid bonds are too much of a pain in the butt. I submit a cashier's check for 5% of my total with my bid.....
Here i am posting a PDF stuff which will guide you and clear it to you the difference between bond and liability insurance.
I hope this would be much helpful for you.
Also telling about when it is needed to get bond and liability insurance.
They required me to carry both surety bond and liability for the first year here. I don't get the surety bond, unless you're some flunky who gets his first payment on a couple of contracts then skips town, the surety bond will cover it.
Neither is very expensive. The surety is about 5-10% of the total bond amount. State Farm gave me the best rates on a $2mil liability ins. policy.
Ray, I'm curious, does your liability policy pay the $2m on one event, or do they limit the payout on a single event, and the $2m is a total coverage on multiple events? (I also have a $2m policy but it's only $1m per event.)
BTW: That is one sharp logo you have. I really like it! It fits the flavor of the area.

[–]ryepup 2 points3 points4 points 3 years ago
I'm amused how there's nothing in his code that really unique to lisp (beyond a few convenience macros). His implementation could be ported to other languages without too much hassle. I think it'd be a lot more code in other languages, but it'd be definitely doable. If Gabor had been a python programmer he'd probably still have won.
I keep seeing people making "Oh, well, lisp is good at AI" comments in other places, and it amuses me that Melis' bot didn't use any of the crazy flexibility that supposedly eases AI problems.
[–]macroexpand 0 points1 point2 points 3 years ago
I've never really seen (common) lisp as an incredibly terse language. At least not compared to more modern languages such as haskell. Do you really think it'd be a lot more code in, say, python?
[–]greml1n 0 points1 point2 points 3 years ago
My experience is that code approaches a more "medium size" project, then Common Lisp starts to become terse. I think most (semi-)modern languages would have comparable LOC for a solution of this sort.
[–]Ralith 0 points1 point2 points 3 years ago
Once you're beyond trivial examples into large projects and real-world code, conciseness becomes less a matter of minimal syntax and average identifier length and more a matter of abstractive power.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Downtown Bay store a timeless marvel
For generations of Winnipeggers, the Bay downtown has not only been a convenient retail destination, but an experience. I have wonderful childhood memories of Christmas shopping with my family, learning the value of a dollar and gazing out along the avenue at all the blinking lights and falling snow.
I also remember the time, thanks to my father's clever suggestion, my brother and I stood motionless atop an empty display to try to fool passersby we were, in fact, mannequins. No one believed us, but my parents were granted an hour of relief as we stood in silence. Well played.
I can remember sitting at the Paddlewheel restaurant while my grandparents regaled us with stories of how they would shop there when they were young.
When the Hudson's Bay Company opened its doors at the corner of Portage and Memorial in 1926, it was a beacon of modern innovation, boasting 12 foolproof elevators (the first in Canada, most of which have since been removed), air conditioning and a steam-heat system that powered turbines 13.7 metres below ground for backup power.
In the 87 years since Winnipeggers first flocked to the city's largest department store, I still find myself drawn through those beautiful brass doors whenever I need to buy clothes, go Christmas shopping or browse for household appliances. In the era of urban sprawl and big-box stores, the downtown department store seems like an antiquated concept, but I firmly believe it is one of the most beneficial buildings any city can have and one Winnipeg should pay a lot more attention to.
The architects, Barott and Blackader, took great care to make sure the building worked not only as a retail store but as a functional stitch in the urban fabric of the city's primary shopping district. Its materials were carefully considered, using Tyndall stone and brass to align with the newly constructed Legislative Building only a few blocks south. Relation to the street was considered, with large window displays, generous canopies and permeability dictating there be entrances on every facade. Scale was considered, using the correct proportions for height in relation to the width of the street. All of these factors work in harmony to create a very pleasant experience for everyone inside and out.
It was completed in only 14 months and used building materials almost exclusively from Manitoba: steel girders from Selkirk, Tyndall stone from Garson, plaster from Gypsumville, lumber from Winnipegosis and sheet metal from St. Boniface. I would challenge anyone working in modern construction and development to reproduce this homegrown approach today, not only for a reduced carbon footprint and to stimulate provincial growth but for the ability to create something locals would be proud to have participated in crafting.
I have been in the construction business now for more than 15 years, and the efforts that were invested in 450 Portage Ave. are tenets that have heavily influenced my life and career.
As a designer, I always first consider the narrative of the space. Who are the end users, how will they live and work in the space, and how will the space continue to be used as the years pass? I am naturally drawn to the thousands of stories that have been written by the days of our lives spent within the walls of this iconic building. It is my Xanadu, the mysterious castle of stone and steel that holds endless adventures, cradled within the soaring ceilings of the main floor, punctuated with the once regal crown mouldings, Roman pillars, carved wood and grand mural depicting an even more mysterious time.
I don't feel the same when I step into a warehouse mega-outlet in the centre of a sea of surface lot concrete. Epic fail.
I recognize in recent years there has been a heartbreaking decline, not only in the interior upkeep, but in a loss of all the amenities that once made the downtown Bay a fully engaging experience. It had a grocery store, restaurant, photo studio, wig shop, library, and in its heyday an orchestra and auditorium.
Today, there is nowhere to socialize, congregate or rest. It has sadly relinquished its role as a meeting place.
While still a very viable retail location, it has lost the lustre of being the quintessential big-city department store. In terms of what our downtown requires to meet the needs of residents, the Bay could house it all and serve as a large draw to help improve density at our city's core.
I believe civic pride fosters a sense responsibility not only for our city and its sustainability, but for each other and the simple pleasure of being able to have a destination to share our stories for generations to come.
Isn't that what make cities great?

Sacred Heart 78
(0-4, 0-3 away)
(11) Connecticut 116
(4-0, 3-0 home)
7:30 PM ET, December 3, 2002
Harry A. Gampel Pavilion, Storrs Mansfield, Connecticut
STORRS, Conn. (AP) -- Connecticut sophomore guard Ben Gordon bounced back from a poor outing with what he called the best shooting game of his career.
Gordon, who was 2-of-10 from the field and had five turnovers in a victory over Vanderbilt on Sunday, had career highs of 31 points and 10 assists to lead the Huskies (No. 12 ESPN/USA Today, No. 11 AP) to a 116-78 win over Sacred Heart on Tuesday night. He was 8-of-13 from the field, including 4-of-7 from 3-point range, and made all 11 of his free throws. ''Any time you come off a bad game, it's nice to have a good performance,'' Gordon said. ''I concentrated on taking easier shots. It boils down to taking easier shots and being more aggressive.'' Connecticut coach Jim Calhoun said he told Gordon to make everything simple. ''He was making the game more difficult than it had to be,'' Calhoun said. Emeka Okafor had 19 points and 14 rebounds and Taliek Brown added three points and 10 assists for UConn (4-0), which started the game with a 13-0 run. Gordon opened the game with a three-point play, Denham Brown followed with a 3-pointer and a dunk, Okafor scored three points and Mike Hayes added a basket. UConn's lead never fell below double digits after that. ''We pressed and opened up the floor to get the game going,'' Calhoun said. ''It didn't go as well as I would have liked defensively, but it did what we wanted it to because we played the game at our pace.'' By halftime, the Huskies were in front 59-34 after allowing Sacred Heart (0-4) to score successive baskets only once in the first half. The Pioneers had consecutive baskets twice in the second half. UConn was statistically dominant in every phase of the game, shooting 50 percent from the field with 34 assists on 42 baskets and holding a 61-38 rebounding edge. The Huskies also had 11 blocked shots and 10 steals. Scott Hazelton had 12 points for UConn and Denham Brown scored 10. Sacred Heart was hampered by the loss of its three tallest players as 7-foot-2 Mading Mading, 6-10 Kibe Trim and 6-7 Max Yokono all missed the game with injuries. ''Obviously, we had size and we took advantage of it,'' Calhoun said. The Pioneers did have five players in double figures, led by Chris Assel with 15 points. Maurice Bailey had 13, Donnell King 12 and Mike Queenan and Omar Wellington each had 10. ''Offensively, we got some decent looks and moved the ball well,'' Sacred Heart coach Dave Bike said. ''We had progress. ''It is important for our program to play marquee games and who better than UConn to play in a marquee game. They're talented, they're hungry, they're all the things you try to get across to the kids in your program.'' Taliek Brown said Gordon had something to prove in the game. ''He was explosive tonight,'' he said. ''He had to redeem himself from the last game so he came out all fired up tonight. He came out explosive, ready to score, ready to shoot, ready to penetrate ... just ready to do everything.''Copyright by STATS LLC and The Associated Press

Lexington, KY (Sports Network) - Kyle Wiltjer paced five teammates in double figures with 17 points as the Kentucky Wildcats dismantled the Eastern Michigan Eagles, 90-38, in non-conference action at Rupp Arena.
Alex Poythress scored 16 points for Kentucky (9-4), while Ryan Harrow added 15 points, eight assists, and four steals. Julius Mays chipped in 13 points, Willie Cauley-Stein tallied 11 points and 11 rebounds, and Nerlens Noel grabbed 13 boards for the Wildcats, who have won five of six.
For EMU (7-6), which shot just 24.2 percent from the floor, only Glenn Bryant scored in double-digits with 10 points.
Kentucky shot a modest 44 percent from the field in the first half, but it was nonetheless able to open up a commanding 38-14 halftime lead thanks in part to a 12-of-16 showing from the foul line.
The Wildcats improved to 57.1 percent shooting after intermission on their way to the dominating 52-point win.
Kentucky held a 52-27 advantage on the boards and forced 19 EMU turnovers.

A piece of U.S. Navy history will land at the Port of Ashland in September, giving local residents an opportunity to tour a living history museum.
The 328-foot USS LST 325, a World War II Tank Landing Ship, will dock at Ashland's riverfront park on Sept. 4. It will open for public tours on Sept. 5, which will continue through Sept. 9.
The LST is an amphibious vessel designed to land battle-ready tanks on enemy shores. When the ship stops in Ashland, visitors will be able to enter the belly of the vessel through those large bow doors where the tanks and troops landing at Omaha Beach on D-Day passed on June 6, 1944.
Now owned and operated by the nonprofit LST Memorial Inc., the USS LST 325 is a living memorial "dedicated to all LST's and those who sailed them," according to its website. It is the only remaining operational LST in the United States out of the 1,051 constructed during the war and was rescued from a Greek scrap yard in 1999.
Built at a shipyard in Philadelphia, the shallow-hulled vessels were able to carry 20 Sherman tanks in their large internal tank decks along with up to 500 soldiers, tons of fuel, ammunition, supplies and 30 to 40 additional vehicles, including ambulance and jeeps on main deck.
Prior to Normandy, the LST325 served in two other World War II invasion campaigns at Sicily and Salerno, Italy. After D-Day the The LST325 made 44 trips across the English Channel carrying vehicles and supplies to France, while returning to England with wounded soldiers and prisoners of war.
After being decommissioned in 1964, it was sold to Greece where it served that country's Navy from 1964 to 1999. At that time, it was rescued from a scrap yard by the non-profit and repatriated to the U.S. in 2001.
It formally opened as a touring museum in 2003 and is the only former U.S. combat ship that actively cruises to U.S. cities via river, said Perry Ballinger, one of 40 crewmembers and the secretary of its board of directors. Ballinger approached Ashland officials about bringing the ship to Ashland in August while on its annual tour.
The USS LST325 has a permanent home in Evansville, Ind., the site of one of three former WWII ship yard where LST vessels were constructed, but takes a four to six week cruise each year, he said. The LST325 will pass Ashland en route to Charleston where it will dock Aug. 3 to Sept. 3, before returning to Ashland Sept. 4. It will then make subsequent stops in Madison, Ind., and then Owensboro.
On its way upriver, Ballinger said the LST325, which has 40 mm guns equipped to fire blanks may play "Anchors Aweigh," the Navy's Anthem and "fire a few guns" when it passes Ashland.
In addition to the LST325, a Vietnam-era river PBR river patrol boat, which used LST ships as home bases in the Mekong Delta, will accompany the LST325 to Ashland. Two landing craft attached to the side of the LST 325 are also operational and may give demonstrations during the stay in Ashland, said Ballinger.
City officials said they were "very excited," to welcome the ship to Ashland and are working to plan some opening ceremonies at the riverfront.
"Once the city was approached about the opportunity and decided our riverfront had the capability to handle that, we wanted to welcome them and do all we could," said Ashland's Director of Parks and Recreation Sean Murray. "That is a great use of our riverfront," he said.
Ashland Area Visitors and Convention Bureau Director Sue Dowdy said the nonprofit approached Ashland about docking here. "We are extremely excited about it," said Dowdy, noting her father served in the Navy and has a personal interest in the crafts used during the era. "It's a great educational thing," she said.
Dowdy said the planned mooring in Ashland has inspired her office to work to attract other touring watercraft to visit at Ashland.
The LST 325 will be open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sept. 5 through 9 at the Port of Ashland. Visitors may tour the main deck, troop berthing, mess deck, galley, stern of ship where the guns and anchor are located, in addition to the wheel house, officers country and the captain's cabin. The tour includes three sets of stairs and self-guided.
Admission is $10 for adults and $5 for ages 6 through 17. Children under five are free. A family admission price of $20 covers two adults and two minor children. Special rates and guided tours are available for school groups.

Keith Richards: I don't own an iPod - 0 Comments
NEW YORK — He's rock royalty and likes to keep it old-school: Keith Richards says he doesn't own an iPod.
The Rolling Stones guitarist says he isn't a fan of the ultra-popular music device.
"I don't have an iPod. ... I still use CDs or records actually. Sometimes cassettes. It has much better sound; a much better sound than digital," he said in a recent interview.
The 69-year-old believes music lovers are "all being shortchanged" with the sound that comes out of an iPod, launched in 2001.
