In order to usher in The Gathering, the much anticipated tourism initiative for 2013 in Ireland, Spike Island off the coast of Cork will host a ceremonial 21 gun salute.
The First Southern Brigade Army will conduct the ceremonial salute, the first one to be held from Cork Harbour in nearly 30 years. Cork Harbour is distinguished as one of only two fixed national saluting stations in Ireland, with the other being at the East Pier in Dun Laoghaire. Thus, this Cork event will also be a national event.
The 21 gun salute is meant to mark the beginning of The Gathering 2013 in Cork, as well as to send a call to all the Diaspora to come home to visit Cork in 2013. Cork has amped up their efforts to host an array of events in conjunction with The Gathering, and boasts 220 pledged events, second only to Dublin.
Cork Harbour and Spike Island was the starting point for many emigrants, resulting in a natural link between Cork Harbour and the Diaspora, making the locale very appropriate to kick off The Gathering 2013.
The 1st Southern Brigade of the Army will fire the ceremonial 21 gun salute from the recently restored saluting battery on the southern rampart of Spike Island at 1pm on New Years Day.
Minister Simon Coveney is expected to attend this event, the Mayor of the County of Cork, Cllr Barbara Murray, the Lord Mayor of Cork City, Cllr John Buttimer, Cork County Manager, Martin Riordan, Cork City Manager, Tim Lucey, Senior Officials from both the Navy, Army and Fáilte Ireland, Councillors from Cork County and City Councils, TDs and Senators are amongst others being invited by Cork County Council to this historic and spectacular event.

ø Ignore Thimble the SquitI failed my Will save...
I suspect Angcuru's idea would have been much better than mine but, oh well...
I apologise in advance; I fumbled my Will save on this one. I just couldn't resist.
Anyway, here's my story:
The Hag and the Hive
Im the guy with the knife. Handsome arent I? The girls love me. I actually love one of them back too, which is convenient in a slushy, romantic kind of way.
Ophelia. Id do anything for that girl. Except, of course, shes not a girl anymore shes a bug. A bee, to be exact.
And thats not so convenient.
Sycorax the hag had decided she needed a new queen for her hive and so now Ive got to go in and convince the old witch to change her mind and to change Ophelia back.
Which is why I find myself now, stripped naked in front of her cave, ready to dive into the waterfall, armed only with my knife, my wits and my staggering good looks. The things we do for love.
Im not a terribly good swimmer; I dont see the point in getting wet unless theres a lady in the pool with you and that doesnt happen all that often, mores the pity. Ophelias a very good swimmer well, she was, before Sycorax turned her into a honey bee.
Ah well. I held my breath and grip my knife in my teeth and dive in. The waterfall gave me a pretty good pounding so I was already feeling beaten up when I climbed out into the hags grotto. Not a good start to a fight, really.
Do you expect you can defeat me? the hag cackled. She held her single eye in her left hand, her right hand was stirring something foul-smelling in a cauldron. She turned her eye towards me and my knife. Little naked boy, you have no chance. I will shrivel your manhood with my magic.
Nah, I said, trying my best to be cheerful. The cold water already did that. You dont scare me, witch. Well, that wasnt entirely true I was bricking it, but I wasnt about to let that show. Hopefully, my shaking knees would just seem like shivering from the wet.
You turned my beloved into a bee turn her back or I will blind you, Sycorax! I proclaimed, brandishing my knife at the hag. Im one of the best knife-throwers youd ever meet; a flick of the wrist and shed lose her eye.
Sycorax said something in a strange language and gestured at me with her ladle. My knife withered in my hand like a dead flower. Uh-oh. I think I said something clever then, like, Meep!
Ophelia wished to be a queen, the witch said, so I put her in my hive. You can join her if you like. She waved her hand towards the back of her cave and, with a word, the wall shifted and opened up like a window.
I could see a bright sunshine on a verdant field beyond and, hanging from a lone tree, a hive swarming with bees. In the heart of that golden honeycomb, I knew Ophelia waited for me.
You can join her, Sycorax repeated.
I had to think about that.
To bee or not to bee.I roll how many botch dice?

wow, thimble! turned in with 60 hours to spare
you are like the ainti mirthcard he has been known to turn in pieces the exact minute they are due

Warriors C Andrew Bogut sprains left ankle
Friday - 4/12/2013, 3:45am  ET
OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) -- Golden State Warriors center Andrew Bogut sprained his surgically repaired left ankle against the Oklahoma City Thunder on Thursday night.
Warriors coach Mark Jackson said Bogut was not expected to make the trip to Los Angeles for Friday night's game against the Lakers.
Bogut exited Golden State's 116-97 loss with 2:55 remaining in the first quarter. He went to the locker room for observation and did not return to the bench.
The 7-footer from Australia has missed 48 of 79 games this season, most due to the ankle he broke in January 2012 before coming over in a trade that sent Monta Ellis to Milwaukee. He had microfracture surgery on the ankle last April. Thursday night was his 19th straight game played.
The Warriors already have clinched a playoff berth.

The 2013 football season is underway, and the crew at NFL Films is busy capturing all the leaping catches, goal line stands, pre-game pep talks, and sideline celebrations. Considered the gold standard of sports filmmaking, NFL Films strives to not just document the game, but to preserve it, and carry on the legacy of all those who have helped make the game what it is today. And motion picture film is part of that legacy.
Since 1962, NFL Films has captured and archived over 100 million feet of 16mm film. Their productions were the first to use ground-level slow motion, shoot sports with 600mm lenses, and to incorporate reverse-angle replays. Can you imagine shooting the Super Bowl handheld with a 1,000-foot magazine and a 50-500mm anamorphic zoom lens? Ever wonder what it is like to capture the fast-moving, hard-hitting action of the NFL? Now is your chance to get full access with NFL Films cinematographer David Dart.
The Hunger Games is a sci-fi phenomenon set in a dystopian society that pits adolescent boys and girls in a battle to the death. Praised for its literary approach to plot and character, the tale was first brought to the screen by director Gary Ross (Pleasantville, Seabiscuit) and cinematographer Tom Stern, ASC, AFC.
Now, the second book in the series, The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, has been translated for cinema. This time, the director is Francis Lawrence (Water for Elephants, I Am Legend) and the cinematographer is Jo Willems, SBC, whose credits include the features Limitless and Hard Candy, television pilots like Touch and Awake, and many music videos for top artists such as Prince and Justin Timberlake.
HBO continues its run of cinematic originals in 2014 with the eight-episode series True Detective. Written by acclaimed novelist Nic Pizzolatto and set in southern Louisiana, the series stars Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson as two detectives thrust together in a 17-year search for a serial killer.
Cary Fukunaga directs with Australian cinematographer Adam Arkapaw guiding the visuals. Arkapaw, with the features Lore, The Snowtown Murders and Animal Kingdom under his belt, recently garnered an EMMY® Award for his work on the 2013 series Top of the Lake.
Ram Leela is a Hindi drama based on the classic tale of William Shakespeare's "Romeo & Juliet." The script called for a subdued and hidden violent mood, but with romantic overtones. Cinematographer Ravi Varman felt that look could only be achieved using motion picture film.
"This was a particularly challenging job," notes Varman, whose 27 features include the renowned Barfi. "As always, my goal is to capture the mood of the film and enhance it through colors, light and darkness."
In choosing to recreate Oldboy for Western audiences, Spike Lee made a bold move. The original movie, based on a Japanese graphic novel, won the Grand Prix at the 2004 Cannes Film Festival and earned a passionate fan base. Lee completely reimagined the story, casting Josh Brolin as Joe Doucett, a man who is released after 20 years of solitary confinement with no explanation. Thirsty for vengeance, he discovers that he has only five days to uncover his tormenters. The cast also includes Elizabeth Olsen, Sharlto Copley and Samuel L. Jackson.
Oldboy was filmed in a variety of atmospheric locations in New Orleans, Louisiana. The mostly local camera crew was led by Sean Bobbitt, BSC. The Texas-born cinematographer has been on a roll, with The Place Beyond the Pines, 12 Years a Slave, Shame, and Hunger among his recent credits. The latter three of those movies were done with director Steve McQueen. All were shot on film.

The Queensbury Rules:
British super-bantamweight gaffer Scott Quigg will be bidding to off the man looming one spot ahead of him in the domestic rankings this weekend -- as perplexing as that must sound to the layman -- Nottingham veteran Rendall Munroe. After relinquishing the European championship he guarded with distinction for the better part of two years (in order to mount an unsuccessful alphabet title tilt against the underrated Japanese Toshiaki Nishioka) Munroe aims to capture domestic gold for the first time while solidifying his status as the best 122 pounder of his country. Quigg, 23-0 (17), almost came unstuck last time out against another old hand in the guise of Welshman Jamie Arthur. The Bury stalker, who built a solid defensive base under former taskmaster Brian Hughes, bumbled into a straight left hand which flipped him over onto his face. It was a flash-point that quickened the pen nibs of the critics of Joe Gallagher, the Manchester guru who inherited Quigg's reins and whose stable h...

Aconcagua Climb
Argentina, Climbing, 21 days - from $5,765 (land only)
The following checklist should help you with your packing. As a general rule, you should always try to keep the weight of your equipment to a minimum.
You must bring the following items:
Hiking boots
Mountaineering double boots - see below
Ice axe
Crampons (with step-in bindings)
Ski goggles
Trekking trousers / pants
Waterproof and breathable over-trousers / rain-pants
Long johns (thermal underwear)
Thermal baselayer shirts
Shirts or T-shirts
Fleece jacket
Waterproof and windproof jacket with hood
Warm jacket (down)
Fleece hat and thermal balaclava
Eyewear Sunglasses
Inner thermal gloves
Insulated outer gloves or mittens
Waterproof over mittens
Sleeping bag rated to minus 30 degrees C
Sleeping bag liner
Thermarest or similar sleeping mat
Plastic bowl
Plastic mug
Backpack - minimum 70 litres (see below)
Small daypack for the trek to base camp
Headtorch / headlamp with batteries
Sun protection (including total bloc for lips, nose etc.)
Water bottles. Take 4 x 1litre (1 quart) 'Nalgene' bottles Washbag and toiletries
Antibacterial handwash
Small towel
Selection of dry bags (to keep trek bag contents dry)
Basic First Aid Kit including Antiseptic cream, throat lozenges, diarrhoea treatment (Imodium) painkillers, altitude (Diamox), plasters and blister treatment, and re-hydration salts (Dioralite).
Small padlock (to lock your KE trek bag)
Mountaineering boots required for this trip
You will need high altitude double boots for this trip. Climbing at altitudes of over 6000 metres, the temperatures can be very cold (as low as minus 30 degrees centigrade) and there is less oxygen in the blood to cope with these conditions. Single boots are really not suitable for these cold, high conditions. Most double boots consist of a plastic outer shell and an inner boot which may be a synthetic or leather construction. Scarpa Vega is an example of a good all-round plastic boot. The Scarpa Spantik is an excellent alternative to a plastic boot, where the outer boot is constructed from modern synthetic materials. You must make sure that you are suitably equipped for these extremely low temperatures.
Backpack required for this trip
While on the mountain we employ Argentinean guides to carry the groups tents, stoves and fuel. You will be required to carry all of your personal equipment including your sleeping bag and camping mattress, and a proportion of the groups food. To do this you will need a large (minimum 70 litre / 4300 cu. in.) backpack suitable for your size (or with adjustable back system) which is designed for load carrying with a comfortable hip belt. During the 3-day trek up to the base camp we use mules to transport all baggage and you will need to bring a small daypack to carry those things you need during the day while the rest of your equipment is packed into your backpack for transfer by mule.
The following items are optional:
Fleece trousers
Neoprene facemask
Trainers / sneakers or similar for camp use
Spare laces
Trekking poles
Swimwear (for the hotel pool)
Travel clothes
Pocket-knife (note: always pack sharp objects in hold baggage)
Repair kit (eg. needle, thread, duct tape)
Camera, media, batteries
Pee bottle
Mountaineering Equipment
Please note that under normal conditions found on Aconcagua crampons and ice axes will not used during the ascent. However, it is entirely possible that prevailing conditions may mean that no attempt can be made without these items. We therefore require clients to have this equipment though some or all of it may be left at the base camp or at a higher camp, according to the discretion of the guides. Everyone needs to bring a pair of ski goggles or visor as protection against the wind.
PHD Gear Advisor
PHD specialise in cold weather equipment, from the worlds lightest right up to the most protective for Everest or the Poles. Its a large range. So to help you choose what you need to keep you warm, PHD have listed the gear that is appropriate for this expedition.

Will insider-trading bill chill dialogue between contractors, government?
Thursday - 2/23/2012, 6:08pm EST
Trey Hodgkins, senior vice president for national security and procurement policy, TechAmerica
The Acquisition Reform Working Group, which is made up of some of the top industry groups, has pointed to a particular provision in the proposed bill, section 17, which would require "political intelligence consultants" to register under the Lobby Disclosure Act.
"The intent of the original bill to eliminate insider trading by legislative and executive branch officials is an understandable concern,"ARWG wrote in a letter to lawmakers. "Section 17 of the bill, however, goes beyond this intent and will have costly, unintended, and non-productive impacts on the reasonable exchange of information necessary to improve the functioning of the federal acquisition process."
The group said the bill's language is sufficiently vague that it could result in "broad reporting requirements for federal government contractors (and others) simply for engaging in the regular and necessary day-to-day communications with their federal customers," the ARWG letter states.
Trey Hodgkins, the senior vice president for National Security and Procurement Policy at TechAmerica, joined In Depth with Francis Rose to discuss the bill and how it could affect the relationship between the government's acquisition personnel and industry.

Late at night when all the world is sleeping.
I stay up and think of you.
And I wish on a star,
That somewhere you are thinking of me too.
'Cause I'm dreaming of you tonight
'Til tomorrow, I'll be holding you tight
And there's nowhere in the world I'd rather be
Than here in my room dreaming about you and me.
Wonder if you ever see me, and I
Wonder if you know I'm there
If you looked in my eyes,
Would you see what's inside?
Would you even care?
I just want to hold you close
But so far, all I have are dreams of you
So I wait for the day, and the courage to say
How much I love you.
(yes I do)
Corazon, I can't stop dreaming of you,
No puedo dejar de pensar en ti,
I can't stop dreaming,
Como te nesesito,
I can't stop dreamind of you,
Mi amor como teextrano
Late at night when all the world is sleeping
I stay up and think of you
And I still can't believe
That you came up to me and said I love you
I love you too
Dreaming all tonight
Till tomorrow and for all of my life
And there's nowhere in the world I'd rather be
Than here in my room dreaming with you endlessly

By Jamie Dupree
In the spirit of David Letterman, Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) on Wednesday unveiled his "Top Ten" examples of pork in a major farm policy bill now on the Senate floor, arguing that the plan is filled with giveaways to various industries and agricultural producers.
The 1,000 page "Farm Bill" is the perfect legislative foil for McCain, who enjoys every chance he can get to find interesting provisions in bills that seem to benefit certain interests.
For example, McCain has already filed an amendment to strike out language in the bill that seems to benefit popcorn growers in Nebraska.
"There isn't a kernel of evidence that shows they need this support from the taxpayers," McCain said in a familiar jab at his colleagues.
A number of different examples of Farm Bill largesse - in McCain's opinion - pushed him to put up a "Top Ten" on Twitter of what he considers the most egregious provisions in the Farm Bill.
"#1 - Creates new USDA office to inspect catfish. FDA already inspects catfish, so this one's a real bottom-feeder.
#2 - $200 mil Market Access Program promoting brands overseas. Example: Holding "liquor mixology demonstrations" in Russia.
#3 - $25 million to study health benefits of peas, lentils and garbanzo beans. Pretty sure they're healthy.
#4 - Subsidies for mohair (AKA goat wool), which have cost taxpayers $20 million+ since 1954
#5 - New subsidy for popcorn producers. Yes, popcorn subsidies - after popcorn prices rose 40% in recent yrs.
#6 - $10 million to establish new USDA program to eradicate feral pigs. Talk about pork!
#7 - $15 million to establish a new grant program to "improve" the U.S. sheep industry. A ba-a-a-a-a-a-d idea.
#8 - $700 million for "Ag and Food Research Initiative" funding grants to research pine trees in FL & study moth pheromones
#9 - $40 million in grants from USDA to states to encourage private land owners to use land for bird watching or hunting
#10 - $200 million for "Value Added Grant Program" often used to give grants to wine producers (& cheese makers too) "

Students thank community in Big Event
Published: Friday, April 27, 2012
Updated: Thursday, April 26, 2012 14:04
Over 700 students joined together Tuesday to give back to the Fargo-Moorhead community by taking part in the 2,000 hours of service that made up the Big Event.
Luke Brodeur teamed up with Trista Manikowske as co-director of this year's event. Brodeur says the event played an important role in giving back to a generous community.
"The overall idea of the project is that it's one big thank you to the Fargo-Moorhead community," Brodeur said. "I think a lot of the time, at NDSU, we either live in our own bubble or we ask a lot of the community. We kind of get them to donate money or support the students."
Students participated in a variety of activities, from volunteering in individual homes to non-profit organizations. The planning community believed reaching out to individual homes was the best way to show appreciation to area citizens.
"That was a good place to start, but with the number of volunteers we got, we eventually had to begin reaching out to non-profit organizations and different kind of service places," Brodeur said. "Really anywhere where students can make an impact, whether it be an organization or in a home."
Many students got involved with their on-campus organizations such as sororities and clubs. Others did it for more personal reasons. According to Katie Worral, a sophomore on the recruiting committee, it could have been a way to fill yet another need.
"I think people are wanting to sandbag. They're missing sandbagging, so they want to volunteer," Worral said. "But it's an awesome experience. It's really great to give back to the community and be involved on campus."
Reasons for individuals who did not participate may vary, too. According to Tom Jaszczak, a sophomore studying industrial engineering says time constraints held him back.
"It just didn't fit into my schedule," Jaszczak said. However, as for others, he says there is another cause. "It will boil down to laziness as a whole. I think people don't want to get off their behinds and do anything. It comes down to laziness, and people don't like to be tied down to things – at least I don't."
Jaszczak also says that he would be able to plan ahead and would like to get involved in future events. He said the event provides an opportunity for students who don't know how to get plugged in or involved and can be used as an effective networking tool.
The idea originated from Texas A&M with a similar event that began 30 years ago and has evolved into the largest service event -- on a single day -- organized by students in the country. NDSU has teamed up with the Volunteer Network, student government and Alumni Association to bring the project to North Dakota for the third year.
"This is huge growth for us this year. We almost doubled the volunteers signed up this last year," Brodeur said. "[We] hope it becomes a culture -- everyone knows about the Big Event and wants to be a part of it."

Keep close to Nature's heart... and break clear away, once in a while, and climb a mountain or spend a week in the woods. Wash your spirit clean.
John Muir
The individual has always had to struggle to keep from being overwhelmed by the tribe. If you try it, you will be lonely often, and sometimes frightened. But no price is too high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Our life is half natural and half technological. Half-and-half is good. You cannot deny that high-tech is progress. We need it for jobs. Yet if you make only high-tech, you make war. So we must have a strong human element to keep modesty and natural life.
Nam June Paik
O sons of Peace, sons of the One Catholic [Church], walk in your way, and sing as you walk. Travelers do this in order to keep up their spirits.
St. Augustine of Hippo
There is growing awareness of the beauty of country ... a sincere desire to keep some of it for all time. People are beginning to value highly the fact that a river runs unimpeded for a distance... They are beginning to obtain deep satisfaction from the fact that a herd of elk may be observed in back country, on ancestral ranges, where the Indians once hunted them. They are beginning to seek the healing relaxation that is possible in wild country. In short, they want it.
Olaus J. Murie
WOMEN preserve the culture of this country with greater tenacity and faith. They keep men on the moral path and inspire them to follow spiritual discipline. Their hearts are tender and full of compassion for the hungry and the distressed. That is why in this land, women are adored and revered.
Sri Sathya Sai Baba
Nothing else matters much -- not wealth, nor learning, nor even health -- without this gift: the spiritual capacity to keep zest in living. This is the creed of creeds, the final deposit and distillation of all important faiths: that you should be able to believe in life.
Harry Emerson Fosdick
We live in a society whose whole policy is to excite every nerve in the human body and keep it at the highest pitch of artificial tension, to strain every human desire to the limit and create as many new desires and synthetic passions as possible, in
Thomas Merton
The new female and the new male are partners on a journey of spiritual partners on a journey of spiritual growth. They want to make the journey. Their love and trust keep them together. Their intuition guides them. They consult with each other. They are friends. They laugh a lot. They are equals. That is what a spiritual partnership is: a partnership between equals for the purpose of spiritual growth.
Gary Zukav
One aspect of modern life which has gone far to stifle men is the rapid growth of tremendous corporations. Enormous spiritual sacrifices are made in the transformation of shopkeepers into employees. . . . The disappearance of free enterprise has led to a submergence of the individual in the impersonal corporation in much the same manner as he has been submerged in the state in other lands.
William Orville Douglas
I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called, / With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love; / Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.
It sloweth age, it strengtheneth youth, it helpeth digestion, it abandoneth melancholie, it relisheth the heart, it lighteneth the mind, it quickenth the spirits, it keepeth and preserveth the head from whirling, the eyes from dazzling, the tongue from lisping, the mouth from snaffling, the teeth from chattering and the throat from rattling; it keepeth the stomach from wambling, the heart from swelling, the hands from shivering, the sinews from shrinking, the veins from crumbling, the bones from aching,and the marrow from soaking.
Robert Noecker
Life is either a daring adventure or nothing. To keep our faces toward change and behave like free spirits in the presence of fate is strength undefeatable.
Helen Keller

Obviously built for the cellar, The Gimp (as with any Olde Ale) is fit to be tied and only pulled out after it relaxes is strength and succumbs to the smoothness and grace of age. Now approaching a year of age, its maturity is catching up but it still has a raucous side.
Tawny brown and with a cast of haze, the ale pours with a creamy viscosity that soon separates from its tarnish body with an cream-colored blanket of foam that caps the beer through the duration of the session, shedding broken lace as it fades.
Its strong malty aromas are a hearty-sweet tone with molasses, toffee, brown sugar and over-cooked caramel- it tastes much like fruit cake, except for the fruit. But actually as the beer warms a mild and citrusy marmalade aroma comes to life. Lightly of vinous port and sherry wine, the ale goes from grape to hops in a hurry as pine and citrus pith give lasing aromas heading into taste.
Its flavor is sticky-sweet with all those syrupy and emboldened malts. It wraps around the mouth like fortified wines but with grain flavors. Its biscuity undertow gives the ale a pound cake-like bready sweetness but with a glimpse of nuts, chocolate, and coffee the complex masculinity resists any wavering in taste. An eventual transition to dry taste is assisted by the citrus flavors from hop and ester and then the piney resin bitterness to close the gap.
Full, chewy and lush with alcohol sweetness, the beer latches onto the taste buds and is slow to release. Even after the creaminess of carbonation subsides, its residual sweetness continues to saturate the palate for a forced appreciation of all-things-malt. Holding firm across the middle, a late peek at dryness comes as brandy-like heat breaks up the sweetness and the piney hops evaporates off the back of the throat.
The Gimp really lives up to its mischievous ways. Even after nearly a year, I think that extended cellaring will continue to dry the beer, bring about more earthy leather and tobacco, and settle down its alcohol effects in taste and feel. And put a ball in its mouth for extra measure. One more year please!

Search for native plants by scientific name, common name or family. If you are not sure what you are looking for, try the Combination Search or our Recommended Species lists.
An irregular, conical to flat-topped evergreen, 50-75 ft. tall. Short, stiff, olive-green needles grow in pairs from the rough, scaly twigs. Open-crowned tree with spreading branches and very short needles; sometimes a shrub. Variable-shaped cones remain closed until exposed to fire.
Jack Pine is a pioneer after fires and logging, although it is damaged or killed by fires. The cones usually remain closed for many years until opened by heat of fires or exposure after cutting. The northernmost New World pine, it extends beyond 65-degrees northern latitude in Mackenzie and nearly to the limit of trees eastward. Kirtlands warbler is dependent upon Jack Pine; this rare bird breeds only in north-central Michigan, where it is confined to dense stands of young pines following forest fires.

Customer Reviews
- Reasonable Quality at the price point, difficult config. , 6/4/13 By -Rob-
- Quality Price Value
The Quality of this equipment is about 3.5 stars. Setup of this equipment was a nightmare on RingCentral (4 days), but this was more a problem with the provider than the equipment.
The administration documentation for the phone is very vague and non-existent in places. The wireless handset lacks functionality and features, plus it feels cheap in comparison to my previous Panasonic equipment. But in general even with reduced handset functionality, the $200.00 price point for a desk and wireless SIP phone, makes this a good entry level bargain.

I removed the front quarter panel, that was loosly attached and the dryer on top. With the lid off I couldn't replicate the noise at low speed spin or high speed spin. The drain pump seems exceptionally loud, but maybe because i had the machine opened up? All the struts and springs seem fine. The only thing I can figure is the drum supports are slowly falling apart? It doesn't make the clunking noise like I have seen on videos. The machine is otherwise healthy. Any ideas what I should be looking for? Thanks.

Thought of that, but when i was ready to take video, the stupid thing wouldn't make the noise. Plus i need to get up to speed on how to post stuff to YouTube.

Our history together in retailing and elders' online gaming Part 2
A Haitian proverb says, "With hands together ... the weight is not heavy." And that certainly applies to a small community in upstate New York where people replaced a failed retail business and fended off a huge multinational corporation by starting their own community department store. And a 67-year-old in Regina working friends to achieve collective online gaming glory.
