On February 12th, Mike Carey and his Mountaineers went into South Bend and upset second-ranked Notre Dame. On March 5th, the Irish got their revenge.
In the semifinals of the Big East Championship, #3 Notre Dame (30-2, 15-1) dominated the Mountaineers (23-9, 11-5) from the opening tip, ultimately coming away with the 73-45 victory.
West Virginia was ice cold from the field and had a tough time protecting the ball early on in the game. Notre Dame, on the other hand, hit seven of its first 12 shots while committing just two turnovers. That stretch led to a 20-4 Irish lead just eight minutes into the game, and a deficit like that is not easily erased against any team, let alone a team like Notre Dame.
WVU did find some offense toward the end of the opening half, but the Irish still took a 37-19 lead into the break.
That margin proved to be more than sufficient for the Irish, as they cruised through the second half. At one point, the Mountaineers did go on a run to bring the deficit to 16, but there was never really a threat for the lead, and Notre Dame stretched that lead back to 30 before the game was over.
Despite the loss, it was another strong offensive performance by Asya Bussie. The junior led the team for the season with just under 13 points per game and put up 15 in Monday night's game. Ayana Dunning added 12 for the Mountaineers.
Big East Player of the Year Skylar Diggins had a solid performance with nine points and six assists, but four Irish players reached double digits, including Natalie Novosel, who led with 18. The Irish did see their field goal percentage drop in the second half, but they hit six threes to WVU's one, and that helped them keep the comfortable cushion.
Notre Dame will await the winner of the Connecticut/St. John's game, which is played directly following the first game. The Irish beat UConn twice this season, including an overtime win back in January, and won their only matchup with St. John's. The championship game will be played on Tuesday at 7 p.m. and will be broadcast by ESPN.
For the Mountaineers, there's nothing left to do but wait for their postseason fate. While the blowout loss at the hands of Notre Dame surely hurts, they can take solace in the fact that they were able to crack the AP Top 25 this week, and should have a secure place in the NCAA Tournament. The first round of that tournament will begin on March 17th.

Ennio Daniel was convicted this week of two counts of sexual assault on an at-risk adult and a second-degree kidnapping count.
The charges alleged Daniel lured a developmentally disabled acquaintance into his car last year and sexually assaulted her.
Denver prosecutors said Friday that he was convicted in a trial in which the victim's recorded statement to a forensic interviewer was admitted as evidence. A bill passed this year allowed such evidence to be introduced.
Daniel is awaiting sentencing.

'Most accidents' on the road happen in the dark
Paul Watters, head of roads policy at the AA, has told the Sunday Telegraph that "most accidents" on the road happen in the dark.
We do know that most accidents happen in the dark. It's also comforting for people, especially if they arrive back from somewhere in the night, when they have got a late train.
There are also suggestions that it increases crime. So it may save money in terms of energy but then you have to look at the cost in terms of security, safety and accidents, it may actually be more.

Shop Lighting
I'm in the planning stages of a 30x26 shop. The ceiling will be approx. 9' and i plan on using 2 bulb 4' florescent fixtures (of the t-8 variety if i can find em cheap enough, T-12 otherwise). I thought about 2 rows of 4, spaced equally, or 3 rows, with 4 on the outer rows and 3 in the middle staggered. Would the 2 rows be enough or would the 3 rows be better, or should i even consider 4 rows? I plan on hanging fixtures over the workbench also, for up close work.
Any and all advise would be greatly appreciated.
I have a 30 by 30 garage and moved my lighting countless times then figured out that I would have been better off putting up a few for basic lighting and after I pretty well figured out where I was going to put equipment- saw etc. , hang the lights accordingly. Ceiling looks odd when ya look up but I have light where I need it. I used 4' double bulb and have9 so far. Put on different switches but works fine for me. Good luck Grump

Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool.
Some days it's not worth chewing through the restraints
My theory is that it's nearly impossible to have too much light. Drop lights are fine, but with these older eyes, the more light in general the better. In colder climates, flourescents may not work in the cold, unless equipped with special ballasts. Cheaper ballasts make more noise, too, if that's a factor for you.
I'm getting some 8 foot high output lamps and fixtures, used. They should light the shed up pretty well, and I plan to have individual lighting over the benches also. Good used fixtures can be a real bargain.
Just my $.02

t8 with the new electronic ballast are good starters when it is colder not as good as HO but a lot cheaper to operate. I install recp in the ceiling and plug lights in so that I can move them around and figure what works for me
A couple of things I plan to do with my someday shed, are to put as motion detector light over the walk in door for entering it at night, as well as another one inside it for the times I want to just run in and grab something, or just want to open the doors to get a tractor out.

There was an excellent shop lighting article in a woodworking magazine that I just purchased. I will scan it this weekend and e-mail it to anyone interested. It discusses both the proper height and spacing of shop lights, and also talks about all of the new fluorescent lighting fixtures and bulbs.
I'll scan it and send it to everyone above by e-mail. If anyone else wants it, just reply to this thread and I will send it again later.
As others have mentioned, you can almost never have too much lighting. No-one has yet mentioned that you can only have as much lighting as you have power to supply. One thing I found in my shop is that the lights and the wall outlets should definitely NOT be on the same circuit. Remember, sizing electrical is pretty easy. Watts = Volts x Amps, or Amps = Watts / Volts. For instance, if you have a 120 Volt circuit with a 15 amp breaker, you can only power 30, 60 watt bulbs (1800 total watts). Lighting is not too bad to deal with, but if you have things with high startup amp draw, like saws, drills, heaters, etc, you will need to get them on a different circuit to prevent the brown-out effect on startup.
Have fun,

When shop wiring I put the outlets of one side on the same ckt as the lights on the other side. Lights over the bench and outlets over the bench on two more and the air compresser on another. The air compresser is 220 so that is a minumum of 6 ckts. 220V keeps the amperage at 1/2 of what it would be at 110V The outside lights are on a 3 way switch and fused in the house. I haven't considered outside outlets for the shop but everything is GFI so I could bridge off any where.

I would like a copy of the article, also.
"The probability of life originating from accident is comparable to the probability of the unabridged dictionary resulting from an explosion in a printing shop." Edwin Conklin, biologist
My shop area is 42 x 24. I have 2 fixtures, each a 2 tube x 8' unit. One is centered in each half of the area. They are about 9 1/2 feet from the floor. It gives adequate general illumination. Using 4' units in your space, I would probably center one fixture in each quadrant. I doubt that adding more general area lighting would make much improvement. When you start working on a piece of equipment, you will be using a drop light most of the time anyway. More general lighting won't be helpful for bench work either because your own shadow will end up on the bench.
I also have a 2 tube x 4' unit hung over each work bench. They are the cheap ones with the built in ballast and a short power cord. I have them plugged into an outlet way up the wall that is controlled by a wall switch at the bench. Because of the short cord, they are mounted too high. If they were down around 6' from the floor they would probably provide plenty of light.
Bill, I would like a copy of the article.

I sent the lighting article to those of you above that have your e-mail addresses posted, and RussellF who sent me a PM. If anyone else wants a copy, just let me know. Also, the scanned article was 15Mb, so it is a rather large MS Word document. If people are having problems with the size, let me know and on Monday I can scan it to PDF, which will be a smaller file.
The article came from the current issue of Best-Ever Home Shop Ideas magazine. There is also a great article on workshop wiring, and workshop heating. I went ahead and scanned them also. If anyone is interested just let me know.

Throne i completely agree with you, and like all the moves. Still mem trade will be hard to pull. Simply because we/ind wont be the only team trying to gain Gays services. My one thing is you said this makes us longer? by 2 inches overall? Belli 6'5 to Twill 6'6 and belli maybe the better player; Jhill 6'10 to West 6'10, and depending on how West recovers hes the better player; Ariza 6'8 to Granger 6'8 (if he is in fact only 6'8), and this is the only place i see vast improvement; and Oak 6'10 for Jordan 6'11 and Jordan is the more athletic player but could be a toss up when Oak is playing well!
Memphis after losing Gay would need a cheaper defensives SF that can contribute some scoring, Ariza fits that perfectly. Then they need a solid veteran back up PG that's fit Jack perfectly. All they would need is a back up C. I'm not sure any other team in the league can offer Memphis the quality we can offer will still saving them over 9mil in cap space. West is 6'9 and Ariza is 6'7 so that's four inches. That's not counting the huge increase in athletism at the 2, 4, & 5 spots. T-Will is the only player that concerns me for us in this trade. If he understand that this may very well be his last chance and start living up to that potential he far exceed what Marco gives us.

A 330ml green glass bottle with a BB of March 2012, so it's just out of date. Picked up last year on a business trip to Kenya. The bottle is embossed with the Tusker name; the neck label describes it as a 100% malt lager.
Poured into a straight pint glass. A pale golden colour with nice carbonation. Forms a decent head of creamy white foam that lasts for a minute or two before subsiding. Faint aroma of light malt and stewed hops, with a whiff of background solvent.
Tastes of light malt with a hint of stewed hops and a mild bitter finish. Faint graininess and a subtle harsh note upon swallowing, but generally clean. Mouthfeel is light and prickly - standard for a macro lager. Weak aftertaste of harsh stewed hops.
Run-of-the-mill for a mass-produced lager, though a shade better than it's more famous cousin. Fairly bland and dull, but probably quite refreshing in a hot climate. Have it if it's the only beer on offer.

Pours from a 12 oz bottle into Sam Adams lager glass- poured a very clear, very light golden color with a one finger head that dissipated rapidly and had a little lacing.
Smells like pale lagers usually do- like pale malts and lager yeast.
Tastes very refreshing- very very pale malt sweetness with a well rounded hop dryness. Not too complex but not bad.
Mouthfeel is great especially for a lager. Well carbonated with a light body. Definitely better than all American adjuncts but I don't think this is my style of lager.

Another rare beer brought back from deepest Africa for reviewing here - thanks Jennifer as always. Presented in a green 300ml bottle with an almost camouflaged green label, stating "not for sale to persons under 18 years", and "brewed from equatorial barley and choicest of hops". Oh, and the cap said "Merry Christmas!"
Pale gold, small white head, not much aroma. Mildly malty on the palate with a few balancing hops. A little too gassy for ease of drinking. Hoppiness comes through a little more at the end.
Better if swirled round to release the excess CO2. Nothing outstanding but quite ok.

Bottle: Poured a pale yellow color lager with a small pure white foamy head. Aroma of adjunct is not present as opposed to most beers from this brewery. Taste is quite bland with light cereal notes and a semi-sweet finish. Body is thin with good carbonation. This is another bland offering form this brewery though it is superior to the original.

Brewed from equatorial barley and choicest of hops. Pale gold to an almost white color. Very pale. Plenty of prickle ripples through the glass and there is a dot of lacing in the center and a light rim of foam. The nose is a very mainstream malt nose with what I am believing to be saaz hops. It seems to me that saaz is in most of the american adjunct lager types of beer, but I really would like to know for sure. Light malt backdrop for the hops, which actually is a positive as the malt doesn't dominate. The attack is pretty balanced. Its very similar to many mainstream american lagers. Unremarkable but not awful. I am sure there is an audience for this beer, but I am not in the seats I am afraid. Pretty average.

Green 300ml bottle, brought back from Kenya last year so I could review it at my leasure.
Still well within its best before date, I poured into a Corsendonk stemmed tulip shaped glass.
Looks like a Dort, a deep darker, old gold colour. Not the bright, light normal lager hue. The white head does stay, but there isn't a huge top to start with.
Malt aroma, barley and some hops too. Fairly sweet caramel esters also.
Even in the cold English winter this African beer has something worth having. Drinking it reminded me of the Safari and all the excitment there of, wonderful. Malty and clean tasting, plenty of flavour from the yeast and hops. The sweetness of the caramel smell doesn't come into taste, but a little sweetnes is within the flavours.
This is a good beer, obviously it tastes better in the warmth with the sun on your back, but its mouthfeel is just right. The malt flavour stays throughout and no metalic twang arrives like some malt lagers.
The best beer out of Africa? I think so anyway, from the ones I've had so far.

Poured into a glass mug September 2009.
A: Golden yellow with a frothy white head. Great retention.
S: Aroma has a very pronounced metallic character. Also light malts and a skunkieness that reminds me of Molson Ice.
T: Smooth medium malt flavors, some corn accompanied by a little bitterness. Slightly soapy aftertaste that detracts from what would otherwise be a fairly pleasant flavor.
M: Undercarbonated and cloying.
D: Not terrible if you're looking for a break from the standard American Adjunct styles mostly available in East Africa, but not all that sessionable either.

Pours a very pale light yellow with a bubbly wispy short lived head. Smell is light grassiness and light malt. Simple, but pleasant. Taste is very light and malty and not too sweet like many pale lagers. Thin grassy flavors and almost lightly acidic. Decent for a pale lager, but still not one of my favorites even within the style...

A birthday present my parents brought back from a Safari in Kenya. Thanks Mom. Looks bright and light gold. Not much body, has that familiar look of a mass produced lager, but at least it pours a generous fluffy head and is alive with carbonation
Smells like Singha, Chang and some other SE Asian beers I learned to love while abroad. It's a sweet and sour smell that confronts your nose at first, but I'm going in with an open mind.
Hmm it's actually pretty smooth. I was expecting worse given the funky smell. Very light in body. There is no distinct flavor, but its not bad, just sorta lacking. This has session beer written all over it.
I'd be happy to try this in its native habitat, but I don't see this being exported to the States anytime soon.

I had this in Nairobi, so I am sure that it was much fresher (as in, two weeks off the line) than one would find it outside of Kenya. Standard lager character until you get to the flavor. Extremely robust and full. So hearty and even that I was shocked as I drank it. If only the beer could find its way to the U.S. and still be this good.

A green 300ml bottle with best before October 26th, 2008. A gift from Kenya thanks to the great Garthicus, much appreciated boy'o!
I've talked with a few Kenyans in the past who swear the All-Malt Lager is the better of the two Tuskers, and the far more popular, preferred choice of Kenyans. Having never been I'll have to take their word, but from this experience, I couldn't disagree more...
A shade or two deeper than the Premium Lager, this is practically school bus yellow in colour. The stream of bubbles is noticeably lazier. Clarity is a wee bit tinted and the head is little more than a outlining.
The smell of skunk hit like a ton of bricks right off of prying the cap. There is indeed some malt smelt alongside the corn, which is quite mighty. It's more simply unpleasant than it is offensive, although it is certainly both.
The taste is - to be very blunt - just awful. I have on very few occasions tried a beer this offensive in taste. To its credit it has a lot of body, but the flavours of raw corn, lead and other various metals, chemical adjuncts, and chewy hay are just too much. Gross.
I'm quite sure many (if not all) of these negative qualities are the result of skunking. The label advises, in bold print, to store in a cool, dark place but with green bottle and hot climate what can you expect?
If I ever find myself in Kenya I owe it to the beer to give it another shot. I've had Tusker Premium Lager many times with at least pleasant drinking experiences, and so this, skunked green bottle notwithstanding, surprised me with just how terribly, awfully, painfully bad it was...

I have given this beer quite a try for last 8 years in Kenya, but am always dissapointed with it's taste- especially ackward aftertaste it leaves in your mouth/throat. It does have a nice appereance and initial hoppsy smell is not bad compared to other Kenyan beers. Overall below average beer.

Poured into a pint glass. Beer is a straw/golden yellow with a one finger white head. Aroma is of light malt and light hops. Beer is fairly actively carbonated. Taste is of corn and slightly bitter hops, beer is fairly watery and not really very pleasing.

Lovingly brought back for consumption by my friend and yours, AndoBrew, on his return from Africa, the Dark Continent.
Appearance: Pours clear, yellow body with a thin, thin ring of bubbles.
Smell: Aroma of maize and pale malts. Distinct skunk character. Hint of grassiness. Which, being from Africa, would make it a savannah landscape grassiness.
Taste: Pale maltiness with a bit of sweetness. Light grassiness. An even lighter bitterness. A mild hint of sweetness perks up again on the finish.
Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied. Medium carbonation. Somewhat creamy mouthfeel.
Drinkability: Bless AndoBrew for sacrificing his time and hard-earned monies to ship himself to Africa for the sake of bringing back beer. He should win a Nobel prize! Or something.

The little brother of Tusker. A more flavorful version of the standby, and in a smaller bottle.
Appearance> Yellow, lively. (slightly darker than standard Tusk). Clear. Creamy white head. lovely.
Smell> strong grain... slight metal. hmmm
Taste> Very flavorful. Better than Tusker because it is both more complex and more refreshing. Tastes of fresh grain, slightly bitter. No hang at all.
Mouf> hmmm. can't describe. my notes said "irony" I am guessing it leaves your mouth feeling something akin to the sensation of eating spinach??
Drinkability> I like spinach so I guess the mouf didn't bother me too much. Still became my standby beer most days on safari.

Oh, blonde ales. Just the thought makes me bored. But right from the pour on this one, I can see that I am getting something different. Fully clouded with a more brown than blonde color to it. Fruit tones remind me of mature fruits. Seems somewhat hearty with an earthy thing going on. I dunno. There is something about this beer that screams originality and just a bigger load of balls than most brewers would be able to put on the table. I enjoyed drinking this beer.
Adding on: They labeled this a witbier? Ha! Funny. Well....I'll just leave the ratings here as I originally thought of them.

12oz brown bottle with no freshness date.
LOOK: Creamy head from a hard pour, pale amber is slightly hazed
SMELL: Faint spice, faded orange zest, yeast, crackers, phenolic, yeasty, fallen apples
TASTE: Smooth, Bready malt, vague spicing, yeast, mild bitterness, orange pith, light caramel, finishes grainy and dry
Not sure where they wanted this beer to go but the whole orange peel / corriander thing did not seem to work to its potential and the flavors don't meld well together either.

Copper orange with a faint head.
Fruity with a splash of bitterness. Well balanced.
Oranges and a hint of spice. Decent bitterness to compliment the other flavors.
This is were the beer suffers, big time. Felt syrupy. I've noticed this in other Arbor Brewing beers. Really detracts from the flavor and leaves a musky aftertaste behind.

Poured bottle into pint glass.
Appearance: Pours a deep gold color that is mildly cloudy and had a very small head. It doesn't quite look like the Witbiers I'm used to.
Smell: Has a citrus kick in the aroma that fairly dominates the wheat backbone of this beer. Again, not bad, but not expected.
Taste: Nice sweet flavor that has a good balance between sweet and bitter and has a little bit of citrus to give it a slight kick.
Mouthfeel: It has a light body, but it seems to work. The carbonation kind of tingles the tongue as it goes down.
Drinkability: It has a fairly low alcohol content which is nice in my book, and it's smooth and balanced. Pretty good. It's a nice local brew that I could get again.

Light copper, a bit hazy. Heady, but it fades fast, light lacing.
I get mostly yeasty aromas. The flavor is sweeter than I expected, citrusy sweetness. A tiny bit of tang in there too.
I wasn't sure what to expect, but certainly I had hoped for a little more flavor, more oomph, and so I was a tad disappointed.

No freshness date. No listed abv. Poured from a 12 ounce bottle into a pint glass.
Appearance: Hazy rusty orange. Almost no head. Very little to no carbonation. You would expect something calling itself a "sparkling ale" would have a lot of carbonation, but not this beer.
Smell: Real sour. Kiwis and sour apples.
Taste: Lots of lemons. Under-ripe kiwi. Very sour, takes a while to get used to the sourness.

Poured from the bottle into a pint glass, beer is a slightly hazy, golden-orange color with an almost non-existant head and has small amounts of bubbles rising to the top of the glass. The smell in't very overpowering, but orange peel and corriander is percievable. The flavor revisits the fruitiness of the smell, kicks it up a notch and has a little mouth puckering bite at the end. The mouthfeel is very light with a thin carbonation. Overall, an interesting beer to try but I don't think that I could drink more than one of these.

A: It pours out nearly amber - not what I was expecting from a blonde ale - it a German kolsch glass, and comes with a luscious head of more than two fingers and a constant rising cascade of bubbles. Looks nice.
S: WOW! Sour lemon aromas, and that's it, overpowering everything else.
T: Along the same lines - it tastes like malty lemonade - the lemon flavor is very strong. Sour, bitter finish. Interesting, I guess.
M: A little chewy - not too fizzy. Not bad.
D: I'm not really all that big on the lemony punch in the mouth. I'll finish this, and it may float the boat of some people, but not me.

Draft at HopCat.
Poured clear copper color with an average fizzy white head that mostly lasted with good lacing. Moderate orange citrus and coriander aroma. Medium body with a sticky texture. Medium spicy sweet flavor with a medium sweet finish of moderate duration.
Complex drinkable brew.

Poured from a 12oz bottle into an American pint glass.
This beer pours a very hazy cloudy orange color. At first there was over a finger of light brown head but within moments it was all gone. The smell of orange comes out right away along with the yeast. For the taste, you get some nice citrus with a nice sour bite. Maybe a touch too much carbonation.. but I guess that is why its says sparkling ale on the bottle. In the finish you get some carbonation with a sweet clean taste. Leaves the mouth moist with some sourness.
At first drink I wasn't sure if I liked it, I'm not a big fan of sour beers. But as I had a few more sips it began to grow on me. If you're looking for something on the slightly sour side that doesn't go too far with it this might be a good pick.

Poured a 12 oz. bottle into a pint glass.
A- Pours a hazy golden orange with a one finger white head.
S- Lots of fruit in the smell, especially citrus.
T- Lots going on here. Some citrus, sour apple, wheat, and very sweet with a dry finish.
M- Very carbonated, not too thin, not too thick.
D- An interesting, different beer. I'm still deciding if I like it enough to buy it again, but I'm glad I gave it a try.

3.58/5 rDev +7.5%
Bottle poured into a pint glass.
A- A 3+ finger, cream/white, fluffy head developed, never really went away, and left a fluffy, sticky trail. The body was a deep golden color, nearing copper with loads of carbonation (big, little, and furious bubbles).
S- There were a lot of fruit tones (something of a berry aroma) mixed with a slightly musty scent from the yeast.
T- More fruit in the flavor. Again, something of a mixed berry going on. There were also sour tones (green apple).
M- Loads of carbonation leave a tingle. Otherwise, it was a pretty clean feel.
D- It was a little on the sweet side. Refreshing enough on a hot day, but a bit much to have more than a couple in a sitting.
Overall- I picked this up thinking it was going to be some sort of Blonde and actually thought I may have got a bad bottle. After drinking a second and realizing BA calls it a Wit, things started to make sense. As a Blonde, it was a bit too much. I usually like full flavors and robust beers. This took it a little too far for that style. I would be looking for something a little cleaner/subdued in a blonde. As a Wit, it's missing some of the citrus and spice I would expect. Therefore, it was difficult to score this one.

Poured from a 12oz bottle into a pint glass. Thanks to HeatherAnn for the assist!
A: Pours a juicy looking hazy orange-brown color with a creamy, light-tan, 1/2 finger head.
S: Fresh aromas of floral and citrus hops, toasted malt, biscuits, and orange zest.
T: See above. Orange peel, floral hops, toasted malt, spices, toasted bread crust, and apple/pear.
M: Smooth and creamy with just the right amount of bite.
D: Very refreshing. A perfectly respectable summer beer!

12 oz bottle. Pours hazy golden amber with a thin head that quickly diminishes to a thin film.
The aroma is big butterscotch and some sour apples.
The flavor is the same as the aroma - butterscotch and some caramel and sour apples with a dry finish. The mouthfeel is thin and watery.
Overall, it's not terrible, but it is rather strange. I kind of wonder if this was a bad bottle or if it was meant to be like this.

A- Orangish with a tint of gold and very little head with no retention at all.
S- A nice wheat aroma, with sugar sweetness to it.
T- Wheat right off the bat and a nice sweet candy like finish.
M- Medium bodied and it coats you tongue, not real bitterness detected. A nice sweet finish and after taste.
D- This beer goes down really easily.

Overall very respectable.
Have tried on on-tap two different places, as well as a few bottles.
Draught seems under-carbonated, bottles seem over-carbonated.
Prominent yeast, deliberate citrus sour tones.
Seems to be popping up in more and more restaurants & stores.
Is this an Oberon response from Arbor?
An excellent gateway-beer.
UPDATE : Originally had this beer at B+ with 3.85, but got a second batch of this beer and it was completely inconsistent with what I previously have had. So I've knocked down the rating. Second 6pack was sour and flat. Sounds like a process control issue.

Sample at the brewpub: On the board as a "secret beer". Pours a clear dark golden color with a medium white head that has good staying power. Spotty lacing. Aroma of citrusy hops, spice and yeast. Light-bodied and effervescent with a good blend of hops, spice and earthy malt flavors. Some yeast is present in the flavor as well. The finish is mildly bitter and citrusy. Well-rounded and pretty easy to drink all in all.

Looking for phones? CNET's reviews of the best phones include photos, video, and user reviews.
With its powerful processor, great camera, decent screen and gorgeous, waterproof design, the Sony Xperia Z1 Compact is the best small Android phone around.
The Xperia Z1S is the most impressive smartphone Sony has ever sold on any carrier, but an inferior screen makes Samsung's Galaxy handsets better deals.
The Belkin tablet case provides a firm fit and basic protection, but its design conforms better to midsize tablets than 7-inchers.
While the battery is a concern, the Xperia Z2 Tablet is still a good-looking slate that's loaded with more than enough power for anything you're likely to throw at it. It's a good choice if you're looking for a more affordable iPad alternative with 4G LTE -- particularly if you've ever lost a gadget through water damage.
Sure, it costs a bundle, but the Sony Xperia Z2 is everything you should expect from a top-end phone. Its impressive performance rivals the Samsung Galaxy S5 for smartphone top dog, but the Z2's slick glass and metal design trumps the S5's plastic body. If you're looking for both style and substance from a phone, you've come to the right place.
Sony's flagship Xperia Z1 packs a Full HD display, a quad-core processor, and a whopping 20.7-megapixel camera into a waterproof body and wraps it in an aluminium frame.
Although the Sony Xperia M2 looks pretty slick, it's let down by its low resolution display and its old version of Android, which makes even its affordable price way too high. For much less money, you could snap up the Moto G or spend a little more and pick up the older Xperia Z with its full HD display and waterproof design.
The 10-incher is another moderate Windows 8.1 release in HP's latest lineup of slates.
Though awash in features, the Xperia Tablet Z's $500 price is a decidedly bitter pill to swallow when a better, cheaper alternative exists for $100 less.
For sheer typing responsiveness, the Logitech Ultrathin Keyboard Cover for iPad Air is still a pro. But, even with its new tilt-angle design, it's no longer quite as unique as it used to be.

Juniper Breeze
Refreshing scent of forest greens, jasmine, green apple and musk. Wonderful in bath and body products.
- So Fresh and So Clean!
I really love this fresh and clean scent. It reminds me of a shampoo my mom used when I was a kid. It has that fresh out of the shower smell in my opinion. I made an 8 ounce candle using 5 percent oil in GB 464 and the throw was pretty strong for a small candle. It filled my big bedroom up with a nice fresh smell. Don't hesitate to try this one!
- One of my personal favorites
It's light and fresh... not too strong or over powering. It's somewhat outdoorsy but not floral, not real woodsy, closer to a nice country air. It's refreshing.
- Fresh!
I think this fragrance is a must for every candle line.<br /> A fresh, clean scent without being a floral. Perfect bathroom candle. Very strong in GW464 and EcoSoya PB.
- Great Scent
Very strong, very uplifting perfect for spring/summer.
- Great Scent
I love this scent! It is so refreshing and clean smelling. I always wondered what this smelled like for yrs when I seen it at another company and now I will make sure I add it to my line of scents for good.
- Love it, Love it, LOVE it!!
I have just started making soy candles, and luckily picked this wonderful scent to add to my collection of newly purchased items. I decorated a small wedding reception with these candles. Even with all the commotion, everyone commented on the smell of the candles. I am planning to start selling soon and THIS scent will definitely be among my top picks!
- Fresh and Wonderful !!
This is a fabulous fresh scent. I keep one burning in my bathroom. It has been a big seller for me. I use one ounce per lb in palm and it throws great.

Ideally these pupils will be entering 3rd or 4th year and considering leaving school within the next couple of years.
The factory tour will be followed by an open evening on Wednesday 21st May involving a Q&A session with industry leaders and Modern Apprentices. Students, careers or guidance teachers and parents will be invited to attend alongside supporting government bodies such as Skills Development Scotland and local government officials. The event will be held in the Textile Towerhouse where there is currently an exhibition from 5th and 6th years at SelkirkHigh School.
Jim Renwick
Jim Renwick is recognised as having been one of Scotland's best ever rugby players.
Born in Hawick on 12th February 1952, he became a pupil of HawickHigh School after spending his primary years at Drumlanrig Primary School.
Jim was a successful junior swimmer, winning the Scottish under 14's 100yards freestyle title in 1966.
He decided to focus on rugby and trained hard. His PE teacher was the late Bill McLaren who Jim feels had the greatest impact on him at school as a teacher.
"He was a great PE teacher I always enjoyed his lessons." Jim Renwick 2012
Jim played stand-off for Hawick High, PSA and Hawick Harlequins gaining his first cap for Hawick age 17. He says his best achievement was playing for Hawick for 17 years.
Jim gained 52 caps for Scotlandas centre and became a British Lion.
His advice to young players is to work hard, maybe need some luck, but if you think you're good, stick in.

Jean Wintrope
Jean Wintrope was born on Friday the 13th of May 1927. She was born in her house in Orchard Terrace and her brother Jim was born in 1925 and he still lives in the same house! She was born Jane Maben Whillans but she has always been Jean. Jean's mother was born into a family of nine and her name was Helen Millar Charters. Her father was born in Weens Lodge and his name was William James Whillans. When Jean was a child, she thoroughly enjoyed making concerts and performing them – she even had a curtain! Jean's house had a massive garden and her family owned three allotments. In their garden they grew peas, potatoes, carrots, onions, rhubarb, gooseberries, raspberries and they also had two apple trees – one with eating apples and the other with cooking ones. The garden was essential for putting food on the table. There was a piano in the house and she learnt to read music.
A teacher named Miss Forsyth spotted Jean's potential when she was just seven years old! A woman named Beatrice Miranda used to come every week from Edinburgh to produce opera and she saw true potential in Jean. She used to have singing lessons on a Saturday at lunchtime in Edinburgh and she used to love it as she was able to go on the train! She was chosen to go to the Scottish Touring Theatre. Jean was at Hawick High School between 1939 and 1943 and in this period of time, her friends were Madge Robson and Jean Dodds. She went to Guides and Singing Club with Madge. Her favourite subjects at school were Music and English. Jean's favourite teacher at Hawick High School was Music teacher William R. Smith or 'Smithy'. Jean was never allowed to go to dances because she was a member of the Congregational Church and she was under very strict rules. She left school at the age of 16. When she was a teenager, Jean always wanted to pursue her dream of going to Drama school but her father wasn't keen. Jean was 18 when she joined the Hawick Amatuer Operatic Society but before that she was part of the Junior Drama Club. The Opera had stopped in 1939 for the beginning of the war and in 1945 a meeting was held in the Farmer's Room of the Crown Hotel to start the Opera up again. Jean can remember the song she sang at the audition. It was called 'Pipes of Pan'. Jean got the part and went on to play the lead role of 'Countrygirl' in 1947. Costumes for the opera came from London and rehearsals were held in the Masonic Hall in Commercial Road. Jean has participated in so many operas but her favourite is 'My Fair Lady' when she played the lead role, Eliza Doolittle.

David Chapman
David John Chapman was born on the 24th of March 1962. He attended Drumlanrig Primary School, and then went on to attend Hawick High School, from 1974 to 1979. His favourite teachers were Mr Lawrie (English), Mr Gordon (English), Mr Proudfoot (Technological Studies) and Mr Grieve (Physical Education). His favourite subjects were Technological Studies and Physical Education. David's friends at school were David Barker, Neil Dalgetty, Kevin Campbell, Bruce Michie, Stephen Adams and Alan Rae. When he was at school he wanted to become a civil engineer when he left school, but instead went straight to Pringle of Scotland. He worked at Peter Scott's for many years. He is now European Sales Manager for Scott & Charters (Hawick) Ltd.
David has a keen interest in music, as well as Scotland, so formed a band with his friend Iain Scott to represent this, known as Scocha the name coming from their names " Sco for Scott and Cha for Chapman. His favourite songs the band have produced are "Reivers Are Riding" and "Jumpers For Goalposts", but he loves them all. Scocha have done many tours, but his favourite is the New York tour they did, but very close seconds are Canada and Germany. He also enjoys playing in Hawick, as you're in front of your own friends and family. David has talent for music, and plays many instruments: accoustic/electric guitar, drums, bodhran, percussion and kazoo. David is a very busy man, but if he ever gets a spare bit of time he loves watching the rugby, especially international matches involving Scotland. He also listens to lots of music, and when he gets the chance, enjoys socializing over a pint or two of Guinness.

Mark White
Mark started his broadcasting career with BBC Radio Scotland in 1987. When the tragic event of the Lockerbie air disaster occurred Mark was sent to cover it and he spent more than a year working in and around Lockerbie and reported on a five-month long Lockerbie Fatal Accident Inquiry in Dumfries.
Moving to television in 1991, Mark White joined Border Television to work on the nightly news programme "Lookaround." In November 1992 he moved up North and became the main presenter and reporter for the Grampian Television (known now as the STV North) regional news programme North Tonight. Mark had to resign from that TV programme in November 1999 after an outburst of laughing whilst he was on air giving a serious news report. Later that month he joined Sky News, where he is now the channel's Home Affairs Correspondent.
Mark White has reported many headlines in his career such as from Indonesia on the Boxing Day Tsunami, from the Old Bailey on the London nail-bombing trial, Abu Hamza's incitement to murder trial, on numerous terrorist attacks and related stories, including the London bombings in 2005.
In February 2011, Mark helped the rest of the production team of Sky News win a Royal Television Society award for all its coverage of the student riots.

Gordon Muir
Gordon Muir attended Hawick High School from 1971 to 1977. He had many friends at school but his best friend were Paul Hogarth, Douglas Kernaghan and Michael Norris.
Gordon's favourite teachers were Art teachers Rab Brown and Stuart Frame who inspired him and others for many years. However, Gordon didn't enjoy Latin as much as his total combined score for his three exams didn't even get a pass!
When Gordon was at school he didn't have a dream job. All he knew was that he didn't want to be a vet like his father. After university his initial plan was to be a commercial graphic designer during the day and paint great master-pieces at night but that never really worked out.
Gordon is difficult to categorise job-wise. It depends on which project he is working at the time – designer, artist, sculptor, Art Director, photographer, writer, music manager, music producer, props builder, van driver, lambing man, dry-stane dyker……!
His latest project was to design the memorial commemorating the men who lost their lives in the construction of the Forth railway bridge.

Seymour — The state of Indiana has acquired another 180 acres in southern Indiana as part of an initiative that has claimed nearly 70,000 acres of land along the Muscatatuck River and the Wabash River/Sugar Creek corridors.
The Indiana Department of Natural Resources recently announced it had acquired two parcels of land in Jackson County — one with 136 acres and the other with 44 acres — as part of its Healthy Rivers Initiative. It says both parcels include forested wetlands characterized by bottomland hardwood trees that provide habitat for migratory birds and waterfowl. The Muscatatuck National Wildlife refuge east of Seymour is nearby.
The agency says the latest acquisitions bring to 7,600 acres the amount of land in the Muscatatuck project area protected from development.

Maryland Local Section
Welcome to the Maryland Local Section community site!
Formed in 1935, the Maryland chapter is the sixth-oldest local section in AIChE. Since its inception, it has been comprised of degreed and/or practicing chemical engineers in eastern, central, and most of western Maryland, although meetings and events have often been attended from other nearby areas.
Especially in the recent past, our events have generally been located in the Baltimore area as this is the state's most populous area; however, recent attempts have been made to expand that geographic range to the rest of the section.

---- — For many parents of children with special needs, it's hard to hear their child might never get a diploma or go to college. Franklin College aims to change that.
A new partnership between the college and Special Services Johnson County will allow students with special needs who have attended four years of high school to move on to college like other students their age. Students in the program will spend one to two years at the college, taking one college course a semester, and work in the community.
The college emphasizes the importance of universal respect for its students, and having students with special needs in classes with college students, learning right beside them, will help teach that everyone deserves to be treated the same and have the same opportunities, according to David Brailow, Franklin College vice president for academic affairs.
And students coming from the high schools will have the chance to branch out and learn about something they might never have had the chance to, he said.
Ten to 12 students in special education classes will get the chance to take certain core courses at Franklin College each semester. Some students will work at the college, and others will work at local businesses such as restaurants or social service agencies.
The students will not receive credit for the classes and will attend as auditors or guests, Brailow said.
Families won't have to pay for the courses, which are being paid for with a Center Grove Education Foundation grant. Only students from Franklin and Center Grove high schools will be able to participate this semester. Students from all Johnson County school districts will be able to apply for the program next year.
The goal is to make students in the program employable, Special Services Johnson County transition coordinator Megan Horsley said. Having a job is a requirement, and by the end of their time at the college they should have the ability to keep a position and get to work on their own. Not all students will be able to participate. Only those who are ready to move on, based on teacher and parent opinions, will be able to participate, she said.
In high school, students' schedules are carefully organized by staff members. When they turn 22, they leave high school and, without any transition, have to start working and taking care of themselves, Franklin schools special education director Mindy Staton said.
The students are ready to move beyond high school but still need some preparation for living independently, she said. In the college program, they'll be more independent while still having guidance from program coordinators and teachers. Students will be in charge of getting themselves to class and work and filling their time between classes and work. The responsibility will help students prepare for when they leave school and have to manage their own time and schedules.
Program coordinators are trying to set up a way for students studying education at the college to mentor students in the program.
The program offers a valuable next step for these students as they move from the structured world of school to the much-less-structured real world. We commend the college and Special Services Johnson County. The program has the promise of filling a gap in these students' lives and will help them become more productive members of the community.

10 complaints in just 3 months.Former and current officers have seemingly come out of the woodwork to tell their side of the story, and why their rights were violated while on the force."I don't want to call these individuals corrupt, but they were excessively tolerant of corruption," said William Clairborne, Gerbino and Von Loewenfeldt's Attorney. The individuals William Claiborne is talking about are former city and county leaders. "Former City Manager Michael Brown, former City Manager Rochelle Small-Toney, and Former County manager Russ Abolt each knew about substantial allegations of corruption within the police department." Those allegations were made by former Savannah Major Mark Gerbino. in the complaint, he says former Police Chief Willie Lovett was involved in various illegal activities,Those include gambling, obstruction of gambling, narcotics and domestic violence investigations, and manipulation of crime statistics. Gerbino also points the finger at Malik Khaalis and Willet Williams, both of whom were recently fired or resigned after an independent investigation. those same two officers were also mentioned in a complaint by Sgt. Robert Von Loewenfeldt. Von Loewenfeldt, the former head of the Savannah bomb squad, also claims Sgt. Eric Henderson sold illegal narcotics and harbored a federal fugitive. It's all part of what these men call a "culture of corruption" in the department under the former Chief. "If you were a law enforcement officer who is interested in seeing the rule of law upheld," explains Claiborne. "You could either put aside those motives and actions to some within the department, or you could find employment somewhere else. Unfortunately a large number of highly qualified officers were forced from the department."Von Loewenfeldt resigned from the department in 2012 -- and is currently working for law enforcement in the Carolinas. Gerbino left in 2011 to become the chief of police in Americus, Georgia.His job there lasted less than 2 years He resigned in May of 2013 after allegations surfaced that he used offensive language to describe female employees. Gerbino is currently the Chief of Police at Savannah Tech.Independent investigators are looking into former Chief Willie Lovett and all the allegations against the department. News 3 has learned that because of the additional complaints filed, investigation may take a few more weeks.
Ten.That's the number of complaints filed against the city of Savannah and it's police department by current and former officers in growing.News 3 just obtained the latest two Thursday, one was filed by former Sergeant Robert Von Loewenfeldt.Once head of the Savannah Bomb Squad, Von Loewenfeldt claims several officers sold illegal narcotics while on the force, or hid the fact that illegal drug activity was happening in the department.The other complaint, by current Savannah Tech Chief of Police and former SCMPD Major Mark Gerbino, says Former Savannah Chief Willie Lovett obstructed investigations, dismissed complaints, and manipulated crime statistics."As we indicated in these letters today, former City Manager Michael Brown, former City Manager Rochelle Small-Toney and Former County manager Russ Abolt each knew about substantial allegations of corruption within the police department," explained William Claiborne, VonLoewenfeldt's and Gerbino's attorney. "The fact that action wasn't taken sooner is really unfortunate."The number of complaints filed against the department since October is now 10.

Forget the troubled production, forget the rewrites and forget the reshoots. All that matters is what ends up on the big screen, and "World War Z" is ready to show off the goods. But can it escape its very-public problems as it heads toward the finish line?
The first trailer for the Brad Pitt starring film, (very loosely) based on the book by Max Brooks and directed by Marc Forster is here, but is it the Jason Bourne meets "The Walking Dead" vibe the director and studio were hoping for? Well, it's certainly fast moving and aiming for an epic scope, even if the zombies remain somewhat undefined as a mass of moving CGI.
These zombies are obviously a lot more feral than the slow, plodding ones you usually see on screen, though still different from the "infected" in Danny Boyle's "28 Days Later" series. "They are like predatory animals that can't control themselves," Visual effects supervisor John Nelson ("Iron Man") told EW about the undead on this film. Evidently the victims-turned-zombies in this film hew closer to a sci-fi-like transformation rather than supernatural resurrection. "I worked with tigers [while shooting "Gladiator"], and if you watch them when a horse goes by they go batty, even if they know they can't reach it. When Zs see humans they do same thing, they activate. They launch themselves."
Co-starring Mirielle Enos, Bryan Cranston, Matthew Fox, James Badge Dale, Elyes Gabel and David Morse, the undead arrive on June 21, 2013. [DigitalSpy]
Eeeeew... | November 13, 2012 7:11 PM
Well... I was really looking forward to seeing this movie up until I saw this. The CGI looked pretty bad and what's worse is that the dialog sounded almost as bad as in Transformers: Dark of the Moon. Aside from the title and the fact that there were zombies in this movie (Not anything like the zombies in the book) I didn't see much that could be considered to be based off of the novel. Not only will we have waited an additional six months for this to be released, we're probably going to get an over budgeted B movie with a script comparable to what most Film C students would be able to produce. Ah well, I guess most movies that have come out recently have kind of sucked so I shouldn't have had my hopes so high.

The CGI looks terrible, almost as if it were using the same cartoony looking characters from the Left 4 Dead video game. Very unappealing.

This looks so boring and the VFX zombies look really budget. No wonder this film has had so many problems if that's the best trailer they can produce. Using similar music/sirens to Inception and Prometheus' trailers has only reenforced how inferior it is.

awesome trailer.

And my opinions are confirmed with many of the comments below. B Pitt is def miscast here. I just have trouble buying it...Not truthful enough for me. And I think that maybe y the production of the film was so troubled b/c the filmmakers saw that as well (but obvi it was too late).... He most likely did it for the fat paycheck... I dont really see a heart in this film either the family dynamic seems really weak. Im still at a toss up tho so ALL is not lost

Running zombies = the lazy way to generate excitement from the living dead. George A. Romero's rules were followed pretty faithfully by Max Brooks in his two books (Zombie Survival Guide & World War Z), and the Walking Dead's Romeroesque zombies are a serious threat even though they shamble and shuffle rather than sprinting. Though the Walking Dead uses CGI to augment practical effects, they sometimes do have full CGI zombie extras, but they are used sparingly and, within the scope of the show (and basic physics), realistically. I don't see how muddy, blurry (perhaps incomplete) CGIcandy can be effective... Having seen the trailer, the shots of these Plan B zombies (for lack of a better term) look unrealistic as fluid waves of figures run roughshod and wash over what appears to be a bus, run up (what appears to be) a drainpipe and create what amounts to a human ladder to scale up a wall... I'm just not buying the running zombies, but I am thrilled to see the wide scope of the zombie apocalypse they're portraying (always a big fan of early zombie apocalypse scenarios when the shit really hits the fan and the dead overtake humanity because of our lack of cooperation)... the aerial shots look impressive, but again, how much CGIcandy can an audience take before they're numb to it? Lastly, the film is PG-13, and though they'll probably go for the kind of weak R, mostly bloodless violence that films within that rating usually portray, I doubt it will come even close to the kind of gore-filled bloodletting that people witness on AMC... anything less will disappoint fans of the genre.

What's the point for the bloody visual effect.
Jimbob | November 8, 2012 9:43 PM
What city is that opening scene in the trailer? It doesn't look like New York.
asd | November 8, 2012 9:36 PM
mmm. i dunno.
qio | November 8, 2012 9:36 PM
soo good!

It certainly looks epic and expensive. But Brad looks a bit stiff, far from his best.
Steve | November 8, 2012 8:59 PM
Somehow, Sam Worthington should have been in this.
As a Zombie - or all of them.
Or, as a DEA Agent.
Edward Davis | November 8, 2012 8:48 PM
Looks gritty in the way that real things are stake, but also, pretty generic. The CGI zombies dont belong in the movie they're trying to make. That's the problem.
ali | November 8, 2012 8:31 PM
It looks good but Brad seems out of place.
Cribbster | November 8, 2012 7:39 PM
Looks cool. Not perfect, but it doesn't have to be perfect to be cool. Plus, the zombies are CGI for a reason. There's a specific and original idea behind the way they look, and it'd be near-impossible to do it with real people, so, as a viewer, I would tend to give leeway.
Duddi | November 8, 2012 7:31 PM
I can say much without seeing the movie first but the trailer doesn't give much !!! Hope this one will turn out good after all that's been through...
g | November 8, 2012 7:28 PM
Looks good. CGI doesn't look perfect but they still have time to get it right.
Jug | November 8, 2012 7:18 PM
Just because you have music that sounded like a Transformer farted, doesn't make it cool.
Alex | November 8, 2012 7:15 PM
Haven't read the book, looks better than average but they could have just cut the trailer well, Brad Pitt's hair looks windswept and full of bounce
kat | November 8, 2012 7:07 PM
wow super excited,the purest whining about it not following the book are annoying
Glass | November 8, 2012 7:06 PM
So torn... Want to love it, like Brad Pitt, but he seems so out of place here. Maybe he should've just produced?

Walk Now for Autism Speaks Pittsburgh 2014 by Josh's Jedis - 3 months ago
"Our group walked in the 2014 Walk Now for Autism Speaks event at Heinz Field. As soon as we walked into the event, we ran into an actual jedi, which was fitting considering our team name (Josh's Jedis). CustomInk was great to work with. Their customer service was fantastic. They were constantly in touch with me throughout the design process and the t-shirts arrived very quickly. We received so many compliments on our shirts. Can't wait to order our shirts for the next event from CustomInk!"

Stop the Foreign Fur Farms!
Overseas, in such countries like Indonesia, China, and Taiwan, animals are beaten, abused, and skinned alive purely for their fur. Hundreds die each day. The living quarters for these animals before their death are insufferable. The means by which they\'re \"processed\" for skinning are beyond inhumane. And despite that thousands of people know this--fur is still purchased from these countries because of their cheap prices. It seems like a cycle impossible to break, but it needs to be done, for the sake of animals, who, just as humans, don\'t deserve to be tortured to death. Please, sign this petition as a stance against this cancer of society. And if you buy furs soley based on their cheap price, please stop it to hurt the foreign fur market. If you can, don\'t buy furs at all. Faux fur is incredibly cheap in comparison, and usually warmer anyway.
