WELLINGTON--The New Zealand dollar is trading lower against the U.S. dollar as markets ignored weak U.S. data and continue to sell the New Zealand dollar.
"There were no clear news or data drivers behind the NZD's under performance. We suspect that repeated failure of the New Zealand dollar to breach short-term resistance around US$0.8390 has frustrated some investors, leading them to reconsider long positions," said Bank of New Zealand strategist, Kymberly Martin.
The currency continued to fall over the session, although it bounced off support of US$0.8280 a couple of times during the day.
"It's not bouncing very far so that would suggest that (support for the currency) is not healthy," said ANZ senior FX manager, Sam Tuck.
In late Wellington trading the New Zealand dollar was at US$0.8303, compared with US$0.8346 late Tuesday. It was at A$0.9218 from A$0.9221.
Mr. Tuck said while U.S. data overnight may provide some direction, the release of manufacturing data in China and Europe on Thursday will be in focus.
"If they follow the U.S. data and raise concerns then people will not want risky things for a short period of time" and this could weigh on the New Zealand dollar, he said.

Uncle Elmo et al.,
I'm trying to track down information on the Tetzlaff side of my family tree. My husband and I are expecting our first child and I'm researching heritage for possible baby names. Here's what I know:
My greatgandparents (last name Tetzlaff) immegrated from Germany to Fairwater Wisconsin about 1900 with nine children. The oldest child was named Elizabeth and the youngest was Lillian, who was my maternal grandmother and reportedly "the baby on the boat" (i.e., either born just before they left Germany or in transit). I believe another child may have been named Charles. After the death of my great-grandfather, my great-aunt Lizzie and her husband helped raise my grandmother. There was about 18 years difference between the sisters.
I'm unsure of my greatgranparent's first names but my greatgandfather's name may have been Wilhelm. My greatgrandfather died of asthma in about 1906 and is buried in Fairwater Wisconsin in a small country cemetery alongside his wife. My grandparents (John and Lillian Henke) are in the same cemetery.
I have an old photo of a Tetzlaff family reunion from before WWII, so I think I must still have a bunch of distant relatives in Wisconsin. However, the only second cousins I remember by grandparents talking about are Ward Tetzlaff from somewhere near Ripon and Charles Tetzlaff of Ripon Wisconsin. Both men should be over 80 at least by now.
Please enlighten me if you can. It would be great to know the names of all my great-aunts and uncles at least.
Thanks and regards,
Sharon Waller

Feed: From Korea with Love
Original article
There once was a time in Korea when I was pretty scared to just jump into a new, small restaurant and order something. Sometimes, I still am. But, I've gotten better.
Korea likes its chains. Whether it's coffee or food or clothing or something else, chances are if you see a place, it's not the only place of that place in this place. You follow?
And those can be pretty great, too, as well as a unique flavor, whether of your neighborhood or just Korea in general. While there's a Paris Baguette in Edison, NJ, I am pretty sure the Woncho in Jangnim, Busan, isn't making the trip over to the U.S. any time soon.
The best way to get a taste of this place, a connection stronger than just being there, is eating there. And, that connection gets especially strong when it's a one-of-a-kind establishment, the type the locals frequent. The type where, yes, occasionally the waygookin might get a couple of looks when he walks in.
Yet another eventful weekend has passed, and part of me is glad that it's getting a bit colder so that I (might) have an excuse to stay in. When you emerge from a basement karaoke and the daylight that is 7am hits your eyes, all you can do is send a squinty look to your bros and subtly nod; yeah, I think we just survived that.
You never go long without going to a festival in Korea, but it seems like during the Spring and Fall there are festivals going on every single weekend! This weekend was no exception, but this time it was in our own backyard! This weekend was the Yangsan festival, and although we had not originally planned on going, I'm so glad we did!
For some reason – I'll never be sure why – a business owner saw fit to open a Subway restaurant in our little city of Yangsan, South Korea. There are no Subway sandwich places in Busan yet. In fact, I think they were only in Seoul – until now! We are extremely excited about this! One of the things we miss most from home is a good sandwich. Having a Subway in Korea is good, in Busan would be fantastic, but having it inexplicably open up here in Yangsan? That's amazing! Naturally, we've spent a large portion of our time there over the last few weeks. On nearly every visit we've made to the Yangsan Subway, we've run into another foreigner doing the same! The Yangsan Subway has become a foreigner Mecca. With that in mind, we've decided to post some directions.

Windsor RFC in possession versus Marlow RUFC
Sunday 21st April saw our last Match Day Tag Rugby Challenge of the season when we hosted Exeter Chiefs in the Aviva Premiership. Tag Rugby players from Community Partner Clubs High Wycombe RUFC, Marlow RUFC and Windsor RFC took part in the half-time Tag Rugby showcase.
What is Tag Rugby?
Tag Rugby is a game played by teams of up to seven players. Each player wears a belt that has two velcro tags attached to it. The defenders have to pull one of the velcro tags from the ball-carrying attacking player, to force the player to pass the ball. The game is fast and exciting and develops the players' agility, balance & coordination while focusing on the FUNdamental core skills of non-contact rugby.
Following the Tag Challenge, Community Rugby Coach Ben Smiley told wasps.co.uk: "The pitch was very busy at half-time on Sunday with over 60 young rugby players showcasing their skills to the 7,000+ spectators at Adams Park Stadium. This season has seen major changes for Tag Rugby through the RFU's Shaping The Game Strategy, with all of the players and teams demonstrating that they have adapted very well to the new team sizes and rule interpretations. We look forward to seeing the players and teams develop next season."

Going to see a CS36T
We'll the proverbial "hen's tooth" has turned up (as in "rare as hen's teeth") and I'm going to look at a 1979 Shoal Draft CS36 that just listed almost in my back yard.
It is the first and only CS36T I've ever seen listed in my area, and other than a really sad example of a CS36M, will be my first look at a CS boat. The boat looks to be in pretty good condition and was supposedly owned by a writer for one of the sailing mags. It would be easier to get the wife excited if it were a later model, but after reading the reviews online she agrees we should go look at it. I hope to go see it this weekend but the owner may be working on it and then I'd have to wait till next week.
Anything in particular I should look out for with this model/year? I understand they were prone to blistering and rudder delamination and the wiring may not be up to snuff, though the broker mentioned it had been "upgraded". Don't know if that means a full rewiring or what, we'll see.
I think my wife pretty much has her mind made up on what boat she wants, so this has become something of a long shot, but at least I'll get to see one and know what I passed on, if it turns out not to be as nice as we hope.

HTC One vs Sony Xperia Z quick camera shootout: Is less more?
HTC One has just arrived at our office and is here to stay for a review. The HTC flagship is supposed to feature some advanced camera tech behind those 4 million+ ultrapixels, so the first thing we did was a quick impromptu shootout.
Unlike most of its competitors, the HTC One bets on fewer, but bigger size pixels on its image sensor, rather than many tiny ones. In theory this should allow it to shoot photos that have less digital noise and more dynamic range. But of course, you have got to remember that when you downsize a say, 13MP photo down to 4MP it also visibly decreases the digital noise.
Anyway, we would refrain from passing a judgement at this stage (we'll save that for the full-featured review), but here are several comparison shots of the HTC One and the Sony Xperia Z, which has a rather densely packed 13MP camera sensor, featuring one of the smallest pixel sizes currently used in flagship products.

Importance Of Hiring A Professional Remodeling PlumberAugust 28th, 2014 / / categories: Home /
Hiring the plumbers from http://www.alineplumbingandheating.co.uk for a nonemergency issue is your best bet. Such things are not emergencies, which means that not everyone can handle them.

What Preschool Classrooms Should Look LikeAugust 22nd, 2014 / / categories: Education /
Classrooms should give you a lot of valuable information when not sure how to choose a preschool for your kid. Pay attention to all the decorations when taking a free tour because it can provide plenty of details. Normally, the walls must be decorated with all kinds of artwork. Ideally, you should also find children's original artwork, but this is not a general rule. Most preschools opt for large stickers or paintings, whether it comes to popular cartoon characters, knights, princesses, fruits or vegetables. According to www.tcdschools.com/campus_antioch.html, you have to look for bright colors and a very user friendly decor.
Different Solutions To Enhance Your EyelashesAugust 19th, 2014 / / categories: Life style /
You do not have to be a genius to realize that women "hate" men for having such long and beautiful eyelashes. It is a common fact. Moreover, no matter how hard they try to obtain better looking eyelashes, women still encounter a series of different problems. Fortunately, they do have a few options. The chemical ones are usually temporary, so they will not last for too long. Artificial eyelashes are some of these solutions. On the other hand, the Xlash serum represents the healthy and longterm solution for a good final result. The result is also a lot longer lasting.
Handling Common Automatic Transmission ProblemsAugust 19th, 2014 / / categories: Automatic /
When you notice a serious delay between changing gears and engaging the transmission, the first thing to do is stop the vehicle. Second, look for the fluid level. If it is too low, complete it by correcting the filling according to the vehicle manufacturer's recommendations. If the problem persists, reach to the experts at www.transmax.co.nz. There are also situations when new and complex vehicles do not give you the possibility to check the fluid or correct it. In this case, you have to reach to a repair service as soon as possible. Otherwise, this problem will just keep aggravating further.
Using 3D printers to create innovative products and ideasAugust 14th, 2014 / / categories: Technology /
Items of everyday use such as mobile phone cases, accessories, key chains, etc. can be created easily by using a 3D printer. By choosing to create these items yourself, you can incorporate several ideas and consider the different 3d print example before bringing your designs and ideas to life. However, the only drawback to the three dimensional printer is that the user must have sufficient knowledge about the different design tools available on a computer. These designs can then be used as inputs to the printer before creating the actual models. As the printer makes use of additive layering to create the models, they are not always accurate representations the input design.

Make Potty Training A Random ActAugust 9th, 2014 / / categories: Life style /
Girls seem to love being princesses and dressing up in their best clothes. Therefore, you need to take advantage of this sense when interested in potty training in 3 days. This is just a little trick that will work wonders in the long run. Dress your kid up and engage into a challenging game.

It will become a habit before they even realize it. Plus, it will never be taken for an inconvenience.
Latex Mattresses – Safe & Healthy To Sleep OnAugust 8th, 2014 / / categories: Product Reviews /
The fact that it is healthy and safe makes a latex mattress one of your primary solutions. Almost all other types rely on chemical adhesives, as well as petroleum based elements. For example, foams are based on petroleum. With time, they obviously release a lot of toxic chemicals, even if they are hard to identify. The pollution is not visible, but it can seriously affect you and your loved ones. From this point of view, plenty of people choose to invest in latex mattresses from http://sandiegomattressmakers.com/latex-mattress/ instead. They are also very durable and can last for more than ten years.

My report for IPS News on the National Leadership Assembly for Israel, which I attended on Monday. A standing room only gathering of pro-Israel activists coming together to voice their unconditional and uncritical support for Israel's war in Gaza.

When Israel, or any country, engages in armed conflict with a guerilla group, even if that group controls significant territory and resources, it is a virtual truism that the longer the fighting goes on, the greater the gains for the non-state actor. In Gaza, Hamas' quasi-governmental position still leaves it in the role of the guerilla enemy. And with the events of the past few days, it is worth asking if Israel is not losing this "war." (more…)
Hamas' Options: Bad and Worse

An edited version of this piece originally appeared at LobeLog.
The fighting in Gaza will continue for some time, as a ceasefire agreement brokered by Egypt fell apart. Despite the bellicose
language Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has employed over the past week, it was Hamas and not Israel that rejected the proposal. This was, to be sure, the direct result of that proposal not meeting any of Hamas' demands for a ceasefire and, because as one Israeli official put it, "…we discovered we'd made a cease-fire agreement with ourselves." The dynamics of this turn of events are important and tell us much of how the ground has changed in the region.
We first must ask why Hamas rejected the Egyptian proposal. They have been rather clear about their reasons:
- One, Hamas felt, quite correctly, that Egypt had essentially negotiated this deal with Israel, then presented it as a fait accompli to Hamas. In fact, they said they first heard about it through social media.
- Two, Hamas has declared that they intend to come out of this round of fighting with some gains. In particular, they want to see the siege that Israel has imposed on the Gaza Strip since 2007, the release of all the prisoners who had been re-arrested recently after being freed in exchange for Hamas freeing Gilad Shalit in 2011, and the negotiation of a long term truce, as was agreed in 2012, but never acted upon. The terms of the proposal offered no such relief, or any real change to the status quo.
- Three, many among Hamas and other groups believe this proposal was deliberately put forth by Egypt as one Israel would accept and Hamas would reject, in order to legitimize further attacks on Gaza. The way things have unfolded, they may very well be correct.

The moral high ground is always a tenuous piece of property. It is difficult to obtain and is easily lost. It is seen, however, as crucial because most people, all over the world, cannot accommodate the notion that life is composed of shades of grey; they desperately need to see black and white, good guys and bad guys, heroes and villains, in every situation. Nowhere is this truer than in the Israel-Palestine conflict.
It has become even more important for Israel to fight this rhetorical battle because, while it can always count on mindless support from Washington and from the most radically nationalistic and zealous Zionists around the world, the current escalation and ugliness is going to be very difficult to defend to even mainstream pro-Israel liberals, let alone the rest of the world. The hasbara (propaganda) has been flowing at a rapid pace, even more so than usual, as Israel struggles to maintain the treasured hold on the "moral high ground" that its own actions have increasingly undermined.

Elections in the United States, especially elections for President, have been all about choosing the lesser of two evils throughout the country's history, with only a few exceptions. But the lesser evil in 2016, according to how things stand now, is looking to be a nightmare for the rest of the world, especially if she combines her frighteningly hawkish policies with a Republican Congress. I lament what, at least for now, appears like the necessity to vote for Hillary Rodham Clinton, lest someone even worse win instead. In today's Souciant.

By Frances Ewherido
Thursday, May 15, is World Family Day, a global initiative by the United Nations General Assembly to draw attention to the various problems facing the family. While I commend UN for this initiative, conservatives and religious institutions will continue to view the UN with suspicion because of its stand on the family as an "institution with no relatively fixed definition."
Nothing can be further from the truth. In its blind pursuits and redefinitions of human rights, freedom, liberty, gay rights, feminism, marriage, etc., the UN, aided by the West, will stop at nothing, including crushing traditional family values and understanding, to push through its new-found paradigms.
The fact remains that in the beginning God created man and woman. A man leaves his parents and clings to his wife and they are no longer two but one. This nucleus is the foundation of a family. Put in non-religious terms, "the human record… shows that the family is a natural, universal, and irreplaceable community, rooted in human nature.
The family in all ages and in all corners of the globe can be defined as a man and woman bonded together through a socially-approved covenant of marriage to regulate sexuality, to bear, raise, and protect children, to provide mutual care and protection, to create a small home economy, and to maintain continuity between the generations, those going before and those coming after.
It is out of the reciprocal, naturally recreating relations of the family that broader communities grow, such as tribes, villages, peoples, and nations."(Allan C. Carlson, Ph.D.).
Times have changed drastically. Time was when the definition of family, like marriage, was firm and uniform universally, and was taken for granted. Not anymore. Today you redefine these terms when using them, so your readers or listeners do not get confused.
Today's family is under siege; the onslaught is vicious, multifaceted and unrelenting. Unemployment and underemployment, poverty and hunger, negative effects of modern technology, shrinking family time, new sexual tendencies, alcoholism, drug addiction, cultism, increasing rate of divorce, grass widowhood, kidnapping, abductions, child trafficking and baby factories are just a few of the problems confronting the family.
In spite of the trailer-load of challenges today's families face, we cannot give up. If we do, mankind is doomed. The family remains mankind's best chance of perpetuation and the first gatekeeper of morality. Parents must therefore learn to live by example.
In spite of our human failings, we must set good examples for our children. Bringing up children is much easier when you match words with action because action teaches them better than words. Our children know we are human and not perfect, but there is a certain level of expectation. Let us not let them down.
The World Family Day is a wakeup call to all who constitute the family, not only parents. While parents fulfill their responsibility to their children and strive to bring them up to be responsible and God-fearing, children must be responsible and be obedient. As spouses we must also fulfill our responsibilities to each other.
For us in Africa, family means nuclear and extended family. In fact, before the invasion of western culture, there was no dividing line between the two. As we celebrate, we should also remember our responsibility to the extended family, especially our aged parents.
As we grapple with today's challenges facing the family, we should look up to the biblical model and holy family of Jesus, Mary and Joseph for inspiration. Jesus was obedient to his earthly parents and submitted to them in spite of his divinity.
Mary was a virtuous woman and full of grace. She surrendered totally to the will of God the father and cooperated fully with her husband, Joseph; that was how she became the vessel of salvation. Joseph was a perfect gentleman, holy, obedient to God and patient with Mary. Many men today, including me, would have thrown out Mary even before God had the opportunity to explain the circumstances of her pregnancy.
May 15 is also the birthday of my son, Oghenemine (meaning I look up to God). At times like this when our government looks confused and helpless; we are compelled to look up to God.
The fate of the over 200 students of the Government Girls Secondary School, Chibok, Borno State, still hangs in the balance. It is over three weeks since the abduction, but we still do not know their whereabouts (at the time of writing). Government was slow off the mark on this matter, but like Usain Bolt I hope it can recover from its poor start, overtake and conquer the adversary. I look up to God
I am encouraged by the global dimension the efforts to free the girls has assumed. It does not matter if the attention casts Nigeria in a bad light.
What matter are the lives of these girls. Sometimes you need to wash your dirty linen in the public if that is the only way to get it cleaned up. America will bring the world to a standstill to save one American life; we are talking of over 200 lives here; over 200 traumatised families.
You do not need to personally experience it; you just need to empathise to have an idea what it will be like. I have a daughter the age of these girls and the mere thought of it leaves me cold.
The nation needs to do better in protecting its young citizens. They did not participate in creating our nation's problems. Governments, religious organizations, parents and all concerned need to wake up to their responsibilities. We are not doing enough.

5 MLB Shortstops to Watch in 2014
There is no room for argument — shortstop is the coolest position on a baseball team. At least, that's how it appears when you're first learning how to play the game. It acts as an informal pecking order as to the most- and the least-athletic. The slower kids who can't throw well? Right field. Nothing ever happens in right field. It is the no-horse town of the baseball diamond.
Shortstop? Everything happens around the shortstop. That's where the action is. The shortstop doesn't stand at a base and can move from the outfield into the pitcher's mound. It's the duct-tape of the fielding team — looked upon to fix almost everything when it goes wrong. Unless the MLB ever sees a dramatic rise in the numbers of left-handed hitters, the shortstop is going to be an integral part of a baseball team at every level for the foreseeable future.
So let's take a gander at the five shortstops who are most worthy of our attention, shall we? First, though, a shout out to Derek Jeter (pictured above), who should be watched because he's wrapping up what will certainly be a legendary career this season. For that reason, and because it's fun to root against the Yankees, everyone should tune in to see Jeets's last ride. He's our bonus pick for this list.

A mare of considerable class in her younger years, Diamond Tiara, a 7-year-old daughter of McArdle, usually does her talking on the front-end and her mile Tuesday was another wire-to-wire triumph, this time in 2:00.1.
Jimmy Taggart, Jr. was again in the sulky for trainer Mike Watson, which marked the sixth time that Watson has handed Taggart the reins which has resulted in five wins and one second place finish. It was the mare's fourth consecutive victory.
"She has lots of class and can leave like a runner which usually puts her in contention in every race," Taggart said after the race. "She's real handy, too, and certainly a pleasure to drive."
Diamond Tiara, a career winner of more than $156,000, owns a lifetime mark of 1:50.4 as a 5-year-old and even last year the gritty mare won in 1:53.3. Both of those victories were taken over the five-eighths-mile oval at Harrah's Philadelphia. This year, in spite of the brutal weather during this past winter racing season, her fastest triumph was a 1:58.3 clocking.
Now with 13 seasonal starts, Diamond Tiara is yet to be off the board. Her card now sports eight wins, two seconds and three thirds and despite racing for paltry purses she was won more than $10,500. Owned by Philip Schultz, Diamond Tiara paid just $2.70 for win.

- Below Deck Kelley and Jennice: Just Friends? Tuesdays 9/8c
I thought bowling for Champs looked like a lot of fun. . .minus the crazy lady.
Heather is creative at coming up with unique ideas for parties, first the painting party and then the champagne bowling party. Forget the restaurant business -- she should be a party planner. I wish I could have gone just to watch, but it was just too soon after my surgery. I still had drainage tubes that are not that easy to hide in clothes.
I thought Vicki handled herself very well with the Sarah drama. I don't know Sarah too well but what from what I have seen I have to agree with Terry -- "where did she park her spaceship?"
Watching Jim and Alexis eat dinner gave me chills, right from the minute he threw her coat on the ground. His "Me Tarzan, You Jane" approach is a little hard to swallow. Saying she needed to stay home and raise his children was the most degrading thing I have heard him say, direct smack in her face. What the heck! She doesn't mean enough to him for him to say "OUR CHILDREN"? Then when he asked if she would be ordering his food I was stunned. Maybe I am spoiled, but Eddie usually will give the server my order or I do it myself. He would never expect me to order for him unless he was in the bathroom.
You can see that his control is wearing on Alexis, and I was proud of her for sticking up for herself. I know this all to well. The more independence she gets the more he is going to try and hold her back. I think I know where this is headed. I hope she did not quite her Fox Five job because her husband made her. But maybe she should for obvious reasons. . .YIKES!

Zig Zags- Down The Drain
This is from the great self titled album these guys released this year on In The Red. Big Dumb Rock, that's really big and not so dumb.
Ty Segall Band-Tell Me What's Inside Your Heart
This is from Slaughterhouse (2012, In The Red), the only album by Ty Segall Band not to be confused with Ty Segall himself and the many recordings under his own name. However you want to slice it Mr. Segall and his contemporaries (including but not exclusive to The Oh Sees, White Fence, and Mikal Cronin) have been cranking out some of the best music I've heard in years. Slaughterhouse has parts that sound like a garage punk Hawkwind. This song is just perfect noisy garage pop
Lithium X-mas : Hip Death Goddess
This is from the Dallas based band's 1993 album Helldorado (Direct Hit). It's a cover of an Ultimate Spinach song "Ballad of the Hip Death Goddess" from 1968
Freedom's Children-That Did it
South African heavy blues rock, sounding like a much more ragged Led Zeppelin. From the 1971 album Galactic Vibes
River City Tanlines-Time 2 Get Right
Good summer music from this Memphis based band led by Alicja Trout (Lost Sounds). This is found on All 7 Inches Plus Two More (2005, Dirt Nap)
By G.T. Seaver, The A&P press
The rock band Led Zeppelin has been in the news of late. With the start of a massive reissue series of their back catalog and legal problems stemming from a song writing dispute concerning their song "stairway to heaven" (a heavy staple of classic rock radio). Now more problems seem to be on the horizon for the still popular rock band as professor John Milner a musicologist at Norton University has made a shocking claim. "It appears that the band Led Zeppelin wrote none of their own songs, they are all stolen from other bands, individuals or in a small number of cases very intelligent pets". Professor Milner goes on to say "The only song we think they might have written themselves was Hot Dog from the album In Through The Out Door". A comprehensive list of all of Led Zeppelin's songs and the artists that professor Milner claims to have written them will be forth coming. There has been no response from any Led Zeppelin representatives.
Captain Crunch & The Crew-Nowadays People
These guys were from Ohio and that's about all I know. I found it on a solid psych comp Psychedelic Experience Vol.3 (Mystic Records). The guitar lead from 2:25 to the end is amazinghttp://feedtim.files.wordpress.com/2014/05/20-nowadays-people.m4a
Greg Kihn
Greg Kihn was/is a rock guy who had a few power-poppish hits in the mid-eighties. The thing I remember most about him was how he worked his name into most of his album titles: "Rockihnroll", "Kihntinued", "Kihnspiracy", and "Kihntagious" to name a few. He stopped making records in the 90's, I don't know if he just moved on or if he ran out of album names that worked his own name cleverly into the title. If it's the second reason, here's a few that just might re-energize his career, you're welcome.
-Kihn Do! (maybe multiple exclamation points?)
-ReKihnsider Baby
-Kihndred Spirits (his duets album)
-President Kihnedy
-I left my heart in Kihntucky (country album)
-Lynyrd Skihnyrd (power pop versions of Lynyrd Skynyrd, If this is popular perhaps a collection of "grunge" songs as Skihn Yard)
-Kihnadian Tour
Not really a quality part two and not really all Russian records. The one I forgot to post yesterday was a cool generic cover from Supraphon (which I think is from Czechoslovakia), there's also an Israeli 7″ of what looks like a french dance hit (with dance steps for the kids) [click on image to enlarge]

Stanhope police appeal for help in solving photo mystery (From The Northern Echo)

Stanhope police appeal for help in solving photo mystery
11:04am Thursday 17th January 2013 in News By Duncan Leatherdale
POLICE are appealing for information – but this time it's to help them identify their own officers rather than solve a crime.
Members of the Weardale Neighbourhood Beat team came across this picture of their predecessors and are eager to find out more information about those photographed.
The picture, dating from 1935, shows officers based in Stanhope Police Station.
Current Weardale beat officer PC Billy Crampsie said: "We would love to know all about the people in the picture and would appeal for anyone who knows the officers to tell us about them.
"If you look carefully, they have been really clever with their editing.
"It looks like the officer second from the right on the second row was not there at the time the picture was taken and has been inserted later.
"It looks like a brilliant bit of photo-editing and if anyone knows how they would have done it in those days I would really like to know."
To help the police identify the officers or explain the picture edit, contact PC Crampsie at Stanhope Police Station on 101.

Tiling Is Being Worked On For The Open Evergreen Driver
Published on 31 January 2011 08:47 PM EST
Written by
Michael Larabel
9 Comments
While the Radeon HD 6000 series is AMD's latest generation of graphics processor, and has
initial open-source support available
as of earlier this month, the open-source Linux GPU driver support isn't yet complete for the older Radeon HD 5000 "Evergreen" series and generations even older than that. One of the features that has been lacking for Evergreen is tiling support within the ATI Gallium3D "R600g" driver for the HD 5000 series while it is available for the R600 ASICs and earlier. Evergreen tiling support though is now being worked on, which should deliver a performance boost once fully implemented for this hardware.
David Airlie pushed out a commit this evening to the mainline Mesa tree (via
) that starts "looking" at Evergreen tiling. It adds in the need ioctl interface and some other early work basically bringing it to the R600 position at this point. 2D tiling has yet to be addressed.
Hopefully by the time Mesa 7.11 rolls around in a couple of months he support will be ready.

School Finance: Email your Representatives
We seem to be in a constant cycle of the courts ruling our system of school finance unconstitutional, and our children can't afford to wait for yet another round until a solution is put in place. Many lawmakers and state leaders have indicated that they plan to wait for a ruling from the Supreme Court before addressing the issue of school funding, but the fact of the matter is—they don't have to wait.
You can send a message to your legislators by clicking the link below--urging them to fix the system now. You can also help by communicating this message to family and friends in your community so they can join the effort as well. We can make an even larger impact if even more people are involved, so please share our website and message with others.

Video Game Reviews
9:30 AM EDT, September 30, 2013
The coveted series "Heroes of Might and Magic" returns once again with a new standalone expansion to its sixth installment titled "Shades of Darkness." Developed by Virtuos and published by Ubisoft, the expansion features a new faction known as Dungeon which is led by the Dark Elves, new creatures and buildings, as well as an entirely new campaign following Raelag, leader of the Dark Elves, and his quest to save his race. Despite this being a new game, it doesn't stray far from what the series has offered in the past and relies on being more of the same in a different package.
The story takes place over a century after the events of "Heroes VI" in the realm of Ashan. In the Dark Elf campaign, you follow the story of Prince Raelag as he attempts to unite warring factions to rally his species to survive and once again dominate the above-ground world they once inhabited. If it sounds a little generic to you, that's because it is. The story itself is rather bland and unimaginative with much convoluted lore and backstory that makes it difficult to jump right in.
I have liked the "Heroes" series for a while now but found it difficult to get accustomed to the gameplay, which has always been an interesting mix of strategy and RPG that can get a little tedious. "Shades of Darkness" continues this trend of venturing around a world map as your hero, collecting items, capturing buildings for resources and getting into battles with various monsters, which tends to undermine the strategy aspect during the campaign unless you're in combat.
Combat is standard for the series, where your army is set up on one side, the enemy on the other, in a grid battlefield. The first to defeat the other units wins. The stealth mechanic for the new Dungeon Assassin units was a neat addition, as it makes them invisible until they attack or are adjacent to an enemy. But aside from this, combat stays true to the series by continuing what made it popular in the beginning.
Overall, "Shades of Darkness" felt well-polished, and I found very few bugs or glitches. Easily the most annoying part about the game would be the Uplay account that Ubisoft forces you to use. It causes you to have an active Internet connection while playing, and it requires syncs to save all games to Ubisoft's cloud, which causes a delay when starting and exiting the game.
For series veterans, they will find very little in the way of innovation. Whether this is good or bad is entirely up to the player, but for newbies of the series, this may not be the best place to start as it can be confusing and unforgiving. The $29.99 price tag offers fans many hours of gameplay, but it does little in the way of pushing the series forward.
Score: 6.5
