Baylor School's Houston Clements dodges tackles by Bradley Central defenders during the first half of play in Cleveland, Tenn., Friday evening.Photo by Dan Henry.
Houston Clements is Carolina-bound.
He hasn't yet been on the mat because of Baylor's playoff-extended football season, but that didn't keep the senior from committing to wrestle for North Carolina's Tar Heels.
"I had almost given up hope of wrestling in college," he said.
Clements wrestled at McCallie as a freshman and posted a 42-5 record with a fourth-place state finish, but he had to sit out his sophomore season after transferring to Baylor. Last winter he wrestled just 12 matches after suffering a torn Achilles' tendon in the first half of the football season.
"I visited [UNC] the second week of October and committed the following Monday," he said.
Clements had gotten mild interest from Virginia and Duke and was scheduled to make an official visit to Duke. He did not after his trip to Chapel Hill.
"North Carolina made it clear that they wanted me, and that was important to me," he said. "They told me I was the No. 1 guy they wanted."
Because of his lack of competition, at least compared to most of his peers, Clements didn't think he had a clue. However, UNC coach C.D. Mock told him his staff had based their judgment outside of Tennessee competition.
"They said they looked at a lot of tape but also the fact that I won the Ohio Tournament of Champions and that I was a two-time All-American at the high school nationals [at Virginia Beach, Va.]," he said.
Baylor coach Ben Nelson thinks Clements will wrestle 149 for the Tar Heels.
"There's a lot of untapped potential," Nelson said of Clements, who'll wrestle either 152 or 160 for the Red Raiders this season. "He's a great athlete and a great young man, a hard worker.
"He has great strength and great balance, tremendous athleticism; there are so many attributes, both physical and mental."

The Lafayette Parish Sheriff's Office has settled a 2011 lawsuit filed by a deputy who said he was targeted within the department and demoted after reporting the head of the parish jail system had falsified a document.
The sheriff's office has agreed to pay Matthew Thomassee $175,000 to settle the lawsuit. In return, Thomassee - a former Lafayette Parish Correction Center supervisor - agreed to resign and withdraw a complaint he made to the Louisiana Board of Ethics about the department, Sheriff Mike Neustrom and Director of Corrections Rob Reardon.
The settlement was reached in May but made public recently.
Attempts to reach Thomassee and the Sheriff's Office for comments were unsuccessful Monday.

"Very simple card. Was perfect for us. We didnt have time to get engagement pictures so this was a great compromise. Love how straightforward it was."
"We love our save the dates and plan to use this design for all our invitations, etc. Being an older couple (late 40's) planning a second wedding, we've been trying to find a look that was elegant but not too formal and weren't interested in using photos. These are perfect! The design is so lovely and has the look of a painted canvas, and the quality of the paper was top notch and reasonably priced. An excellent product!"
"These shipped SO fast! They look great and we have gotten great compliments and feedback. Wish we could have customized them a little more, but really no complaints!"
"This card was just what we were looking for in save the dates. It was shipped promptly, and met our expectations exactly once it arrived. Very happy."
"We loved our "Save the Date" magnets and have gotten many compliments! Guests commented on how unique and cute they were. We changed the tangerine color to a medium blue, and basically stuck with the recommended fonts. The customer service was very professional, they answered all of my questions, and they arrived right on time!"

The young Frenchman, a student of the FDA (Ferrari Driver Academy) finished second in this year's World Series by Renault, looking set to take the title at the last round, until taken out by a questionable move from the driver who went on to be champion. "It was a difficult final race, given that I was heading for the win until that incident, but that's part of racing and I prefer to look ahead and think about next year," says the Frenchman.

In response to a clue dangled before her by Laughing One, we've precipitately returned to the place where Flyss watched the bounty hunter kidnap an old man two months ago.
As detailed in this chain of posts, she had followed the BH to this rural spot in Southern Colorado, and watched him pull a gun and step inside a shed some distance behind an isolated farm house. While she crept up closer to get a view, he invisibly traversed hundreds of feet and emerged behind a stand of trees nearly beside her.
In retrospect, Flyss reasoned that there must have been an underground tunnel between the shed he entered and the one he exited, but because she'd been spotted and had to flee, she never verified her hypothesis.
This is an updated photo of the scene, taken last night:
We could find no evidence of any passageway departing from the entrance point (the structure on the far left) nor one emerging near the exit point (beneath the green light on the right.) We did, however, find indications that new dirt had been laid down, sod placed in certain areas, and heavy cinderblocks and other debris dumped on top.
Due to the proximity of an occupied farmhouse, we were unable to attempt to immediately rent a backhoe and excavate the site, as Flyss would have preferred. We did, however, note this pipe protruding about halfway between:
The presence of the manholes suggested to me that the pipe is merely an air-lock break for a large rural water main. But Flyss was of a different opinion.

the Vicarage of Long Horsley: And

Ordered, That Leave be given to bring in a Bill for the
taking, stating, and examining the publick Accompts
of the Kingdom.
A Petition of Sir William Scawen, and others, touching the Greenland Trade of Fishing, was read; setting
forth, That the Trade to Greenland for Whale Fishing
hath formerly been very beneficial to this Kingdom, not
only for the great Quantities of Whalebone and Oil which
hath been imported from thence; but also a Nursery for
Seamen, and the Expence of Provisions for victualing the
Ships: That the said Trade, for many Years past, having
been wholly lost to this Nation, and engrossed by Foreign
Nations, some London Merchants, about Twenty Years
ago, did attempt to regain the said Trade; and, for their
Encouragement therein, an Act was passed in the Twenty-fifth Car. IIdi, whereby it was Enacted (inter alia), That
it should be lawful for any Vessel belonging to England
(whereof the Master should be an Englishman, employed
for the Catching of Whales, till the Twenty-fifth March
1683,) to be navigated with One Moiety of the Mariners
only English; and yet to pay no other Custom for the
Oil Blubber or Fins, than if the Ships had been navigated
with Three-fourths of the Mariners English: That, during the Continuance of the said Act, several Merchants
did, on their separate Accounts, fit out divers Ships; and
some small Quantities of Whalebone and Oil were imported, and the Foreign Markets kept at reasonable Rates;
but those Merchants, meeting with many Losses and Difficulties, were wholly discouraged and disabled to proceed therein; and could never bring the said Trade to
any Perfection: That, since the Year 1683, when the
said Act expired, there hath not been one Ship sent from
England to Greenland; so that Whalebone, which, about
1683, was sold at Sixty Pounds per Ton, is now sold
for Four hundred Pounds the Ton; whereby Holland and
Hamburgh draw out of this Kingdom above One hundred
thousand Pounds for Whalebone and Whale Oil: That,
it being now impossible to regain the said Trade otherwise
than by a joint Stock, the Petitioners have agreed and,
undertaken to raise a joint Stock of Forty thousand Pounds,
to be wholly employed in the said Trade: And praying
Leave to bring in a Bill for incorporating the Petitioners,
and granting to them the sole Privilege of navigating such
Ships as shall be employed in the Greenland Trade; and
that the House would take the same into Consideration.
Ordered, That the Consideration of the said Petition

of Fishing.

May 9, 2012
LACEY, WASHINGTON — In August 2009, Charles-John Fontillas '12 came to Saint
Martin's campus and discovered his academic home, a place as close to his heart
as his family home in Puyallup. On May 12, Fontillas' senior project — a
four-movement orchestral suite — will not only express his passion for Saint
Martin's, but will earn him a place in the University's history books.
The suite, Martin's Regard, is the first-ever composition by a graduating
senior performed as part of the University's commencement ceremonies. The piece
will be performed during the prelude, as guests await the arrival of the Class
of 2012. As a graduate himself, Fontillas will be one of more than 370 Saint
Martin's students celebrating commencement at Marcus Pavilion on Saturday.
The four movements of Martin's Regard arise from Fontillas' love for his
University, and from his mentorship by his composition instructor, Claudia
Simpson-Jones, the conductor and director of the Olympia Chamber Orchestra and
adjunct professor of music at Saint Martin's. The suite focuses on four aspects
of campus life. The first movement reflects on the monks of St. Martin's Abbey,
while the second movement, "City in the Woods," refers to the neighborhood of
on-campus residence halls on Baran Drive. The third movement, "Saints in the Rain,"
is about the students of Saint Martin's. The final movement, "A Song for Old Main,"
is a tribute to the oldest building on campus, the University's original classroom
The 24-year-old Fontillas felt he was creating a soundtrack as the movie of
academic life was writing itself around him.
"I was improvising the movie scenes and the timing and the harmony as I went
along," says Fontillas. "Although the suite started out last fall as a class
assignment, once I came up with the themes, it didn't seem like work at all. The
entire 14-minute piece, with all the parts, just came about."
Simpson-Jones says the work was an unusual assignment, suiting Fontillas' talents
and academic goals.
"It's important to consider the students' different levels of experience and
interests in making an assignment like this," she explains. "In Charles' case, his
skills and intentions to study composition in graduate school dictated that he had to
write a major work."
Beyond the creation of the themes and writing the music, Fontillas also wrote the
orchestration and determined the instrumentation to fit the needs of the Chamber Orchestra.
Fontillas says that after graduate school, he hopes to become a working composer in
media ranging from the symphony orchestra to video games and commercial jingles. In the
meantime, Professor Darrell Born, the University's choral and music director, is planning
to get Fontillas into Marcus Pavilion ahead of the other graduates, so he can hear his
suite performed.
"Ordinarily, graduates line up on Old Main's Grand Staircase, and they don't hear the
musical preludes the orchestra performs as families and friends are seated," Born explains.
"We'll have to sneak Charles into Marcus Pavilion early for this once-in-a-lifetime event."
Saint Martin's University is an independent four-year, coeducational university located
on a 380-acre wooded campus in Lacey, Washington. Established in 1895 by the Catholic Order
of Saint Benedict, the University is one of 14 Benedictine colleges and universities in the
United States and Canada, and the only one west of the Rocky Mountains. Saint Martin's
University prepares students for successful lives through its 21 majors and six graduate
programs spanning the liberal arts, business, education and engineering. Saint Martin's
welcomes 1,250 students from many ethnic and religious backgrounds to its main campus,
and 650 more to its extension campuses located at Joint Base Lewis-McChord, Everett College,
Centralia College and Tacoma Community College. Visit the Saint Martin's University website

The fat-eating ants respond well to a strong brew of chili peppers. Sometimes when I'm feeling mean I'll throw in mustard powder too. Watch them go ouchie ouch, with little anty hotfoots! They'll clear out fast and it won't poison kids nor pets. ============================= Many moons ago when rocks were soft, our family was stationed in Austin Texas at Bergstrom AFB. The entire base was well, infested. Mice, ants, roaches. LadyBird Johnson absolutely forbid the use of chemicals to rid the base of pests. So, the family services and what would now be the bio environmental engineers got together and concocted this white powdery substance that was "safe" for children and pets but not the pests. I didn't entirely understand why pets were safe but the mice were not. The instructions were to set out saucers of this stuff behind the fridge, oven, on the counters, by the doors. Dump it down the drains each morning and put fresh out. In two weeks we were pest free. No kidding. After a year they finally fessed up to the ingredients. Baking Soda and sugar. 2 to 1 ratio. Evidently the bugs can't burp or fart. So when they walked thru it and cleaned it from their bodies, well, they exploded. Mice just didn't like the taste or smell, they said. It made entertaining show and tell for the 5th graders coming back from summer vacation. Aldyth ************************************** See what's new at http://www.aol.com

The American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 has extended the IRA Rollover for 2012 and 2013. Originally passed in 2006 as part of the Pension Protection Act, the IRA Rollover allows individuals age 70½ and older to make direct transfers totaling up to $100,000 per year to 501(c)(3) charities, without having to count the transfers as income for federal income tax purposes.
Who qualifies?
Individuals who are age 70½ or older at the time of the contribution (you have to wait until your actual 70½th birthday to make the transfer).
How much can I transfer?
$100,000 per year for 2012 and 2013. The provision expires on December 31, 2013.
From what accounts can I make transfers?
Transfers must come from your IRAs directly to Grand Valley State University. If you have retirement assets in a 401k, 403b etc., you must first roll those funds into an IRA, and then you can direct the IRA administrator to transfer the funds from the IRA directly to Grand Valley State University.
To what charities can I make gifts?
Tax exempt organizations that are classified as 501(c)(3) charities, including Grand Valley State University, to which deductible contributions can be made.
Can I use the IRA Rollover to fund life-income gifts (charitable gift annuities, charitable remainder trusts, or pooled income funds), donor advised funds or supporting organizations?
No, these are not eligible.
Can I use the IRA Rollover to support a specific fund at Grand Valley State University?
Yes, all IRA Rollover gifts can be designated to specific funds.
How will Grand Valley State University count the gift?
We will give you full credit for the entire gift amount.
What are the tax implications to me?
Federal – You do not recognize the transfer to Grand Valley State University as income, provided it goes directly from the IRA administrator to us. However, you are not entitled to an income tax charitable deduction for your gift.
State – Each state has different laws, so you will need to consult with your own advisors. Some states have a state income tax and will include this transfer as income. Within those states, some will allow for a state income tax charitable deduction and others will not. Other states base their state income tax on the federal income or federal tax paid. Still other states have no income tax at all.
Does this transfer qualify as my minimum required distribution?
Once you reach age 70½, you are required to take minimum distributions from your retirement plans each year, according to a federal formula. IRA Rollovers count towards your minimum required distribution from the IRA for the year.
How do I know if an IRA Rollover is right for me?
You are at least age 70½, and:
What is the procedure to execute an IRA Rollover?
Time is limited for 2013 gifts, so contact your IRA administrator to learn their procedures. We also offer a sample letter you can send to your plan provider to initiate a rollover. Make sure that you contact us when you direct the rollover so we can look for the check from your IRA administrator.
For more information, please contact University Development at 616-331-6000.

BOULDER, Colo. (AP) - Colorado overcame a 22-point first-half deficit to upset No. 5 Texas 91-89 on Saturday behind 33 points from Alec Burks and 21 from Levi Knutson.
Colorado (18-11, 7-7 Big 12) was down 48-33 at halftime, but the Longhorns (24-5, 13-2), who used their superior size and athleticism to take control early, suddenly were affected by the
altitude and the Buffaloes' push-the-pace style that led to first-year coach Tad Boyle's biggest win in Boulder.
Because of issues at the free throw line - where Burks, an 84 percent shooter, missed eight shots - the Buffs had to sweat out the final minute.
J'Covan Brown and Jordan Hamilton led Texas with 21 points each, but the Longhorns went 8½ minutes without a field goal as Colorado climbed back into it behind Burks, who scored 11 in points a 14-0 run early in the second half.

Mothers shield sixth-grader from public humiliation
Mothers Celeste Taylor, left, and Lisa Filice hold signs outside Mount Woodson Elementary School Wednesday morning after a sixth-grade boy stood across the street from the school holding a handwritten sign that began with, "I stole my father's cell phone" before the start of school Monday and Tuesday. Seeing the boy standing there as part of apparent punishment meted by his parents disturbed students and adults, and several mothers shielded him Tuesday morning by standing in front of him as students arrived at school. The boy was not outside the school Wednesday morning. "Humiliation is not parenting" reads one of the signs.

Fancy trying your hand at floristry and creating your own bridal bouquet? Then follow this advice from the professionals
If the man in your life has presented you with a wilted bunch of garage-forecourt flowers on Valentine's Days past, now is the chance for him to redeem himself. London boutique hotel Andaz are offering hapless guys the chance to get creative with their floral gifts this year and make their brides-to-be a beautiful bouquet during their lunch break.
So we headed to the stylish five-star hotel for our own personal bouquet-making masterclass with the experts from Zayni Flowers and picked up these top tips for creating a bridal-worthy bouquet.
Before you start creating your perfect bouquet, remember these all-important preparation pointers.
1. Try not to buy your flowers any more than two days before you need them and store them in a cool, dark place to keep them looking their best.
2. Condition your foliage before you start arranging. This means removing any leaves that will fall below the binding point of your bouquet.
3. Prep your blooms by gently pulling off any leaves on the lower part of the stem. Only remove the outer leaves on delicate flowers like tulips and if you're using roses, snip off the thorns using scissors.
4. Cut a piece of string or twine and have it ready to secure your bouquet once it is completed.
To create your bouquet, start by picking one bloom that will be the central focal point. You will be working outwards from this flower in a spiralling circular motion.
Hold the flower at the binding point, typically around seven inches down from the head of the flower, with your thumb on the top and your fingers wrapped around the back.
Begin to surround the flower with foliage to cushion it from damage. Add each branch of foliage to the bouquet's binding point at a 45 degree angle, twisting the arrangement in a circular movement to make room for each new branch. Keep your thumb on top so you can hold everything in place with your fingers and just lift your thumb to add the new branches.
Once your central bloom and foliage is in place, you can begin to build your bouquet by incorporating more flowers.
Using the same twisting method as before, add your flowers at the same 45 degree angle as your foliage and group them together in small clusters of three or four. Try to line them up symmetrically across your bouquet - the best way to check this is to look down at the arrangement from above.
Once each flower cluster is complete, cushion it by adding a branch or two of foliage. Don't be afraid to snip away any leaves that cover your blooms or stick out at strange angles!
Keep building in flowers until you are happy with the size and shape of your bouquet.
When you've finished adding blooms, you need to tie the bouquet and secure it with string. Holding the bouquet with your thumb on the top stem, tuck the middle of the length of string under your thumb and pull the two lengths towards you to create a loop then wrap the two lengths of string around the stems. Tuck the ends of the string through the loop at the front and pull it tight, securing with as many knots as needed to keep the stems together.
Finally, cut the stems so they're all equal in length.
Want to make sure your bouquet lasts longer than the time it takes to say 'I do?' Try these clever little tips to keep your flowers looking fresh.
1. Store them in a cool place.
2. Add a drop of Milton sterilising fluid into the water to help stop it going cloudy.
3. Recut the stems a little every day.
4. Keep the water clear of any loose leaves or petals.
5. Replace the water on a regular basis.
Green-fingered grooms can sign up to lunchtime or after work sessions on 13 or 14 February. The workshops are priced at £50 per person and include complimentary snacks and beverages. Bouquets cost from £65. For more information, email firstname.lastname@example.com

A Bechtel-led team is overseeing construction of a 21-kilometer tunnel that will be the centerpiece of Crossrail, a new railway connecting London to commuter areas east and west of the city.
Dubbed "Super Tube," Crossrail will give some 1.5 million new riders easy access to the City of London, Canary Wharf, the West End, and Heathrow Airport. The 118-kilometer system is scheduled to open in 2018.
In addition to the twin-bore tunnel beneath densely-populated central London, Bechtel and team members Halcrow and Systra will be responsible for six new train stations (an artist's conception of the new Bond Street station is shown above).
Rail projects in the UK are nothing new for Bechtel. In the late 1990s, the company helped complete the historic Channel Tunnel connecting England and France. In 1999, it completed the extension of the London Underground's Jubilee Line in time for the city's millennium celebration. A Bechtel-led team managed construction of the High Speed 1 rail line, and Bechtel managed the modernization of the busy West Coast Main Line. The company also worked on the renovation of the London Underground's Jubilee, Northern, and Piccadilly lines.

I have received a sample of Skillet Bacon Jam and been asked to do a review.
What is Skillet Bacon Jam? It is a combination of cured bacon, Onion, Balsamic Vinegar, Brown Sugar, (sugar, invert sugar, cane molasses) Salt and Black pepper. I know this sounds strange but it is actually a good flavor combination. These are all cooked down into a spread that you can use to cook with or mix with other toppings and use as a spread.
I made fried potatoes with this and they turned out good with a great sweet bacon flavor.
I put some butter in the bottom of the pan and heated it till it melted, then I added a few table spoons of Skillet Bacon Jam stirred it in with the butter and tossed the potatoes in the pan and stirred it till the potatoes were all coated with the butter mixture. Then just cooked it until they were done and browned. Turning them a couple times.
There are some great recipes on the site too and I will next try the Sauteed Brussels Sprouts with Bacon Jam. It was my original plan to make this item for this review but I then thought I know a lot of people who don't like Brussel Sprouts so I decided to make potatoes with it. This way it is likely something most people like.
The product is even pretty tasty alone, although I wouldn't suggest you eat it that way. It would be great with Vegetables, chicken maybe even fish. I have heard of others using it on bagels, I was thinking mix it with some cream cheese and spread it on the bagel. Really the possibilities are endless and if you like bacon you must try this. The flavor is a sweet bacon flavor, you can taste the vinegar and sugar but the flavors all meld together well.
You can go check it out yourself at www.skilletbaconjam.com and if you have any questions you can contact them at [email protected]. There are other flavors and I'm looking forward to ordering some others to try out! If you try any please leave me a comment and let everyone know how you liked it.

Lee vs Hitech Filter Holder - REVIEW
Hi all. Wanted to share my experience with anyone out there looking to pick up one of these filter systems.
A friend and I were able to track down the 4x6 soft grad ND Lee set but had a hard time finding the foundation kit. Yada yada He got the Hitech holder and Hitech adaptor ring, I got the Lee holder and Lee adaptor ring.
The Lee holder has a much smoother build quality. It feels more rugged, and holds the Lee filters better. The Lee filters DO fit in the Hitech holder, but not as tight (Hitech filters are .5mm thicker so there's some extra space when using the Lee filters). The Lee filters in the Lee holder felt nice and tight. My biggest complaint about the Hitech holder is the way it screws onto the adaptor ring. The screw that tightens a piece of plastic that expands and contracts felt really flimsy, and wasn't easy to take on and off. Drove my friend crazy. The Lee holder has a nice pull latch that's well built, and easily goes on and off the Lee adaptor ring.
In theory a ring is a ring. Since I was using the 16-35mm I got the WA ring which was great. No vignetting. Screwed on easy and felt great. My buddy's Hitech ring was a bit more finicky to lock in place, but it did the job. Again, the Lee just felt better. Also, The Hitech 82mm WA adaptor ring...*drum roll*...DOESN'T FIT ON THE CANON 16-35mmii! WHAT?! Yup. You heard me. Good thing my friend was using the 17-40, and the 77mm ring worked no problem. If I ended up with the Hitech system I would have been in big trouble.
Overall, I'd recommend to anyone looking for a filter holder and ring set to go with the Lee. The Hitech did the job, but being able to feel the two systems side by side really made me happy I got the Lee version...and my friend....less happy

Re: Lee vs Hitech Filter Holder - REVIEW
Hmm. The Hitech filters that I had were 1.5 mm thick where the Lee are 2.0 mm thick. I could get the hitech to fit in the Lee holder but not the lee in the Hitech. Perhaps they changed their filter sizes?

Re: Lee vs Hitech Filter Holder - REVIEW
Hitech makes two kinds of holder. The modular one, which you can customized fit several stacksas you want, and the fixed one, which is made of metal construction and available in different stacking options but not customizable.
I own the Hitech filter holder with a 105mm circular front holder and it works fine for both Lee and Singh-ray filters. It fits the Lee filters tightly, sometimes even too tight if you want smoother adjustments. I'm now looking for a Lee filter holder so that I can customized one of the slots to accommodate a 4mm-thick glass filter.
To comment on the OP statement: I actually prefer the screw-on attachment of the Hitch filters to tighten the holder to the adapter. Lee holder uses a pull lever to attach the holder to the adapter. My friend's Lee holder accidentally fell a few times whenever that lever gets snug on her sweater/jacket sleeves.

Wall Street is poised for a sharply higher open after Wells Fargo forecast a record $3 billion profit for the first quarter.
The news from Wells is a welcome sign for investors who have been looking for signs o whether the credit and lending markets have improved in recent months.
Economic news was mixed. The government said Thursday new jobless claims fell more than expected last week. But those continuing to receive unemployment insurance set another record.
The government also says the U.S. trade deficit plunged unexpectedly in February.
The Dow Jones industrial average futures are surging, up 148 at 7,941. Standard & Poor's 500 index futures are up almost 16 at 838, while Nasdaq 100 index futures are up 19.5 at 1,318.

True Utility Scarab and KeyTool micro multi-tools
My Victorinox CyberTool multiplex knife goes with me everywhere. But while it's bloody useful of disassembling hardware and putting it back together, it's not exactly compact. Ditto your average Leatherman multi-tool. Hence my interest in True Utility's Scarab, which squeezes a handful of tools down into a 50 35 x 7mm, 46g unit …
Lock knife
It looks like the hinged cover would prevent the knife closing (actually a good safety feature) meaning that this would be classed as a lock knife and so require 'good reason' for carrying.
"""a lock knife and so require 'good reason' for carrying."""
That's one of the benefits of living in this big, gun-loving country - knives are pretty acceptable. My state doesn't have /any/ limit to the length of a concealed folding knife - I would take my 3.5" single-hand, assisted-opening lock blade over any of these tiny tools, though it does cost a tiny bit more, and it doesn't make for an amazing screwdriver. Strips wires pretty well, though : -)
The Keytool looks ideal
for shredding the lining of any pocket you choose to shove it into
touchscreen phone !!
Will not last long !!
Airport security?
Sound little tools, but I can see plenty of them being left at the security desk because people forgot about them before flying. Pity.
I flew with mine about 5 times before they spotted it though.
Fail on behalf of the security dudes at the airport :-)
I reckon I've flown about 6 times as well now and its not been spotted... To me its no sharper than any of my keys and I have more of them anyway, so if I wanted to do any damage I could presumably use them.
Anyway for a fiver and the simple ease of having a bottle opener and a cpl of very small tools I'll leave it attached. I have however removed the wine bottle opener they make when I fly, as I reckon thats slightly more obvious.
Dont Foget about them!!!
I had a scarab.. and Bl**dy useful it was too, only trouble is I forgot it was on my key chain when I was flying.
Result I had the Starssi at the airport remove it cos I might try and disassemble the aircraft in flight....
Guess that would be the result if you had the KeyTool too..
Sorry mate, but
it you're going to compare over-zealous airport security staff with one of the most feared and reviled security services of the cold-war era, you could at least get their name right: Stasi.
Shurely Some Mistake?
IF you're going to compare over-zealous security services of the cold-war era with one of the most feared and reviled airport security staff, you could at least get their name right: Stasi.
There- fixed that for you.
Nice, but...
Will either of them get on a flight with me?
Need pocket liner?
That KeyTool looks like it would cut through most trouser pockets, and several coat pockets with all those sharp edges.
Agree about the trouser shreddage
I have a Leatherman Micra and though it is a lot more expensive would not trade it for either of these 2.
I've forgotten it when flying twice. The first time I was nice and early so just posted it to myself. The second it was not noticed at Edinburgh but was at Gatwick on the way back. Had to buy a new one.
Scarab concerns
I had the Swiss+Tech Micro-Max and found that the arms tended to loosen over time to the point that it kept opening in my pocket. I wonder if the Scarab would suffer from the same problem. If the metal on the inside of the arms is flat rather than curved then I can see that becoming a problem with the Scarab.
Airport security
The Scarab will be confiscated at Airport Security, obviously, but the KeyTool is more likely to depend on the alertness of the staff, as it resembles a key.
I used to have an 8mm spanner as a keyring - this went through airport security multiple times until one of the staff noticed, stated 'no tools' and chucked it into the bin. I suspect the KeyTool would be subject to the same lottery.
Utilikey is a good option too
I've owned a couple of these:
and they happily go through airport security, looking close enough to a normal key that nobody looks twice.
Lock knives in public and pointy things at airport security.
Are there any useful tools out there which are allowed through airport security? I like to travel so it would be good to know.
I used to carry a Leatherman Crunch, then I found out about a slight change to the law which made it illegal to carry any knife with a locking blade (apparently the government want people to cut themselves more).
Now I (like the author) carry a Cyber Tool. However, I was a little worried carrying this during the security theatre a couple of years ago when random searches and metal detectors at the station were de rigeur.
So further to the above, are there any useful tools out there which don't have a blade such that an over zealous police officer couldn't take it to be a weapon?
Re: Airport Security
Lock your tools away in your check-in luggage, then there's no need to mail it home, have it binned etc.
If it gets nicked out of your luggage en route, then that's what travel insurance is for.
As for the Scarab and KeyTool, wouldn't you just remove these from your keychain before travelling? I would.
I tend to do just that, but there is the odd occasion when it could be good to travel without checked in bags or when an intermediate airport can't be trusted to forward bags until a day or so later.
Well, personally...
"As for the Scarab and KeyTool, wouldn't you just remove these from your keychain before travelling? I would."
As it's a put-on-your-keyring-and-forget-about-it type of thing, I'd probably put in on my keyring and forget about it.
If they'd pitched it in the den, Bannatyne would have told them this and called it useless. Then Theo Paphitis would have broken it.
more like airport theatre
And no; we're not safer. so much stuff gets through anyway it's a waste of time and effort and a good way to scam you out of your stuff. yeah...buy insurance....just try to collect.
I'm struggling to think of an occasion
when I've had to perform some urgent mid-air hardware surgery and yet, due to the restrictions on taking sharp things through security, had to improvise with a plastic fork and a belt buckle
Re: Tony
The trouble is that your multi-tool becomes such a part of your regular dress that you forget it is there. I've done it once with my Wave; luckily I was able to ship it to myself. I honestly just forgot about it as I was getting dressed to go to the airport. "Wallet, keys, cellphone, Wave. Yep, I'm good."
I'll stick with my Swiss Army Cybertool
It's also my bottle opener and cork screw* as well as my server room took kit. The only disadvantage is I have to check it in (and that means having checked in luggage which is not always desirable).
* Kudos to Victronix for recognising your average travelling computer geek is also a drunk.
Those are amazing tools. I remember being so tempted by the 41 model until I learned the difference was that it added saws. Now the Lite version looks perfect. The 34 model plus a flashlight and magnifying glass.
...late to the party much?
Have had, and do still have a scarab I bought years ago. Fantastic little tool :)
Therein lies the problem
"Of course, it's not a tool you'll use every day, but it's the kind of thing that you can attach to your key ring and forget about until..."
...you have it confiscated by airport security.
Check in Luggage?
I don't take check in luggage when I fly. I make sure everything fits in a backpack.
Paying £40 to check in a £8 keyring tool would be a tad excessive. Doesn't even work out for the £30 leatherman micra (which I can confirm, was hinged as solidly 4 years later than the day I bought it)
Ah, Security Theatre...
I remember coming home from my last business flight after 9/11 (This was ~February 2002), and discovering my ever handy leatherman supertool sitting in my carry-on along with my laptop and the pile of other crap I routinely carried with me at the time.
I was amused that security didn't catch it in either direction.
Relaxing of rules?
On a flight last week from Heathrow T1, I was surprised to see a sign that indicated that blades of up to 6cm, such as on a handy Swiss Army knife, are now permitted in hand luggage. Had to ask a security staff member to confirm this in case I'd misread the poster somehow. Anyone else noticed this change?
I've only been asked once if I was carrying a knife.
Before boarding a cross-channel ferry.
Irish Ferries asked me that
I did wonder if they expected me to hijack the boat and sail her into the IFSC....
Got a scarab - not too impressed.
Although the variety of tools and the shape are useful, the 'cutters' on the inside of the plier jaws are just cast metal; they're not ground and sharpened so they're absolutely useless for cutting or stripping wire.
Not much use for geeks...
... until they make one with a CAT5 cramping tool
i used to own a scarab
many many years ago, it was a nice useful tool until, as it aged, the tools down the sides became loose, and there is no way (apart from a little jiggery pokery with a hammer on the pins) to tighten it up again, so the blade and screw drivers would be open in my pockets without my knowledge,
after it shredded the inside of my pocket and a couple of fingers I had to replace it, but its still sitting on a shelf at home as its still a nifty pair of pliers,
I would recommend it, but the quality and how long it will last is reflected in the price, (so get 3 and use them one after the other)
The Rolls Royce of keyring tools is the Leatherman Squirt p4. Normally I wouldn't buy such an expensive device (£45) however my local John Lewis made a mistake and sold it to me for £12.
I'd avoid cheap tools
I don't have experience of these particular tools, but I'd not get one that only costs £7.
I had a £10 no-name one before my Leatherman Wave that lasted about 3 months. I've had my Wave the best part of 10 years.
If I had to have a tiny tool, I'd have a Leatherman Micra. More expensive, but worth it in my opinion.
Oh, and I'd also recommend getting one with locking blades, I had a Swiss Army-type one (not Victorinox) that closed on my fingers no end of times. Luckily that one was so blunt it didn't do any damage, the Leatherman would've had my fingers off.
Locking blades are useless in the UK.
Unless you plan on only using them in the privacy of your own home. The powers that be here decided you are not allowed to carry any knife with a locking blade in public without "good reason" -- and from what I can gather "I'm worried about cutting my fingers should I need to use this on a rare occasion" doesn't wash.
Keytool shipping must be high: Did TSA issue a waiver?
The Keytool is available in HongKong for under USD$1 - guess the shipping to the West must be high or someone is making a HUGE profit.
The U.S. Homeland/TSA has issued waivers for some of these one-piece mini-tools - not the pliers though1
I got hooked on the Sebertool M4, which has now been bought out and is sold as the IDL T10 (http://www.idltools.com/products/t10/). Love it - nice square, chunky feel, that I prefer to the Leatherman - handy, and small. I bought a new one every time I either lost it, or accidentally forgot to baggage it before going through airport security and got it confiscated - although again, when I did forget, it still got through more often than it didn't.
Look interesting
As a gigging musician, I have a Leatherman rip-off in my gig bag as it's ideal for quick equipment fixes, cutting tape and chopping the ends off of new strings. I reckon the Scarab would be a lot easier to store with the rest of my gear.
Only problem is, it needs a can opener. I used my not-leatherman to open tins of tuna at a festival recently.

Town turns out in force to remember the casualties of war
Communities across the Axe Valley turned out in force on Sunday to honour the casualties of war.
Towns and villages across the region fell silent for two minutes at Remembrnace and Armistice Day commemorations on Sunday.
At Axminster the parade from South Street car park to the church was led by Royal British Legion standard bearers Valerie Clarke and Stan Fifer, along with Douglas Hull carrying the Union flag.
This year civic leaders and representatives of local uniformed organisations were joined by a large contingent of serving personnel from the armed forces.
The packed service in the Minster was led by the rector, Rev John Streeting
Afterwards the crowds gathered on the Minster Green for the exhortation, read by RBL branch president John Glanvill-Smith before the laying of 22 poppy wreaths by representatives from the uniformed groups and civic leaders, including Mayor Andrew Moulding.
Organiser Mervyn Symes, who read the names of the town's fallen during the ceremony, said they were delighted with the large turnout.

About 66 Broward school administration positions, including curriculum specialists, a gang prevention coordinator, director of facilities support services and assistant chief building official, will be eliminated July 1, Superintendent James Notter told the School Board Tuesday.
Of the jobs being cut, 17 are currently vacant. Still, the district will save about $7 million, which will go back into the general fund, Notter said.

Assuming good health and ability, 200 IP is a decent goal/bench mark for a SP making those starts.I can't see Chapman as anything except our 5th starter, if only for inning reasons.Cueto, Latos, Arroyo, Bailey, Chapman (with Leake as a needed 6th starter)We all know Dusty will put his stamp somewhere. If the lineup is "dusty-proofed" as I have heard it called, I bet he goes with his belief of "breaking up the power rh arms" by throwing Arroyo ahead of Bailey.As for Chappy, the 5th starter wouldn't get his 1st opportunity (b/c of schedule) until Weds April 10 at StL. Add in the schedule-missing days of a 5th starter, and we wuld be down to approx 28 starts. Pitch Leake in 6 of those starts, and Chapman is looking at 22 starts for approx 135 to 140 innings. I am sure mgmt can use other ways to limit innings, but this is the best way, imo, to get Chapman into the SP role while also saving something for a (hopfully anyway) playoff run.Putting Chapman anywhere else in the rotation during the reg season (note -- I'd hope he can perform well enough to be top 3 SP for a playoff rotation) just doesn't seem to make any sense given the track record of other starters and the club's primary need to protect Chappy from an innings and health standpoint.

I realize that this is way to hypothetical and far away from actual time to discuss it, but should Chapman be ready, healthy, and productive, he will be a starter in the playoffs too...

Ichiro signing might be more evidence of Yankees front office rift, and lots of notes

Sure, Ichiro finished very strong while he was with the Yankees, but in his ...
