Although not 100% sure, because unable to obtain a photo for identification at the time, we think that we have also spotted a hybrid between a Crimson Rosella and an Eastern Rosella at Girraween NP (southern QLD) in July 2009.

Behaviour |
Social behaviour: Territorial | Mobility: Sedentary/dispersive | Elementary unit: Pair |
In the region where their habitats overlap, i.e. northern NSW and southern QLD, Eastern Rosellas and Pale-headed Rosellas can interbreed (see above). The hybrids have intermediate colours (the size and colour of the yellow and red patches on their heads and breasts vary).

Food, Diet |
Like many parrots, Eastern Rosellas are seed-eaters; primarily they feed on grass seeds. Like many other birds Eastern Rosellas are opportunistic. Some of the photos below show a bird feeding on the seeds of a decorative tree. We have also observed Eastern Rosellas feeding on the seeds of Wilga trees.

Eastern Rosellas have also been found to be taking nectar from the flowers of Emu bushes and we have seen them nibble on flowers of various types of eucalypt, including e.g. lemon-scented gumtrees.
This Eastern Rosella was observed by us in a eucalypt infested with

Got a sight glass / thermometer combo from bargain fittings and it includes this compression fitting for the sight glass tube. I ended up unscrewing the compression fitting and some pieces fell out onto the floor. I picked them up, but am not sure how to put it back together. I know that right now the compression fitting leaks right where the tube enters so I can only assume I'm assembling it incorrectly. Anyone have insight here? Thanks!
"Goin' downtown to the disco, gotta do it right away. Got a funky thing to get into, gonna blow my blues away!"
Ditch the inner metal pieces and use the two o-rings that came in the kit instead.
If you look at this sight it has a picture of how the double ferrules go together under Stainless Steel tube compression fittings. It's the last pic on the page.
Awesome - thanks guys!
Agree, use the orings instead of the metal ferrule. I suppose he includes them because they come with the fitting.
Bumping an old thread, but I can't find an answer. What size oring for 1/2 stainless compression? I'm having a hell of time getting the compression fitting to fit, so I think an oring might be a lot easier.

Adaptation framework
Planning for climate change will change how we run our businesses, government agencies and other organisations. The Australian Government is increasing its focus on adaptation- one of the three pillars of its comprehensive climate change strategy. The Council of Australian Governments (COAG) agreed to the National Climate Change Adaptation Framework in April 2007.
National Climate Change Adaptation Framework
The framework covers a range of cooperative actions between all Australian governments to begin to address key demands from business and the community for targeted information on climate change impacts and adaptation options.
Government actions
The Australian Government has made climate change a high priority. It is responding to the needs of the community by supporting research, developing information and tools, and implementing programs for climate change science to feed into the decision-making processes for developing climate change policy.
The Government is leading efforts to help Australia better understand and prepare for the risks these changes present for our environment, industries, people and infrastructure.
The National Climate Change Adaptation Framework sets the agenda for the national approach to long-term adaptation to climate change. Australian Government initiatives contributing towards the implementation of the framework include:
- CSIRO Climate Adaptation National Research Flagship—investment of $44m over five years for CSIRO to develop scientific solutions to help Australia adapt to the impacts of climate change and to inform national planning, regulation and investment decisions.
- Climate Change Adaptation Research Facility—investment of $20m over 4 years to establish a Research Facility based at Griffith University in Queensland. The Facility brings together national expertise to help Australia, our industries and communities adjust to the impacts of climate change.
- Australia's Farming Future—provides $130m over four years to deliver three major components: the Climate Change and Productivity Research Program, the Climate Change Adaptation Partnerships Program, and the Climate Change Adjustment Program. Australia's Farming Future will improve the ability of primary producers to respond to climate change and manage their emissions.
- Caring for our Coasts—helping local communities protect the Australian coastline and prepare for the impact of climate change.
- National Coastal Vulnerability Assessment—to help better understand how climate change may impact our coastal communities.
- Forest Industries Climate Change Research Fund—$5 million to address major knowledge gaps about the impact of climate change on forestry and forest industries in Australia. The fund will assist the industry to better understand the implications of climate change and build industry capacity to adapt to predicted scenarios and capitalise on emerging mitigation opportunities.
- Local Adaptation Pathways Program—provided around $2m in funding to help local government build their capacity to respond to the likely impacts of climate change.
- Climate Change Adaptation Skills for Professionals Program—an investment of almost $2m to fund tertiary education, training institutions and professional associations to revise or develop professional development and accreditation programs for architects, planners, engineers and natural resource managers.
- Water for the Future—our largest investment in climate change adaptation provides $12.9 billion to invest in fixing the national water crisis. It aims to secure the water supply of all Australians, with four key priorities: taking action on climate change; securing water supplies; using water wisely; and supporting healthy rivers

Hear Janelle Monae Funk With Prince and Solange on Full 'The Electric Lady' Stream
Kansas-bread bandleader struts and swoons on her second album
Janelle Monáe is streaming her entire new album The Electric Lady a week early. Due September 10 via Bad Boy/Wondaland, the 19-track set features collaborations with Prince, Miguel, Erykah Badu, Solange, and Esperanza Spalding. We've also seen videos for "Dance Apocalyptic" and "Q.U.E.E.N.", each of which was set in a future where, respectively, zombies roam and revolutionaries are kept behind glass. Taken in its whole, The Electric Lady is clear-headed and free to be as funky as it wants to be — a worthy follow-up to 2010's The ArchAndroid that makes good on Monáe's enthralling in-person energy.
As Consequence of Sound points out, a Target-exclusive two-disc version of the Kansas-reared artist's sophomore album is on the way as well. That'll feature a different cover than the one shown above, plus four bonus tracks including a rework of the titular track featuring Cee-Lo Green and Big Boi.

Folks, IMHO the entire "War on Terrorism" (what a vague term) scam is nothing but a money-laundering scheme. We supposedly pump billions of our hard-earned tax dollars into the Middle East in the name of beefing up our military presence in order to force Freedom down the throats of everyone there whether they want it or not. And all the while, our ground troops are driving around in equipment with so little shielding/plating/armament around them that they aren't protected from a BB entering.
In truth, those billions of dollars are going elsewhere – in the form of mainly paper transactions 'cause no real money gets to its' intended destinations – to pay off everyone who is being used in the set-up and establishment of the NWO. The 'war' is a sideshow, a principle distraction. And many corporations are reaping the staggering benefits of those laundered dollars/Euros/Francs/Deutsch Marks/Lira/Yuan/HK Dollars, etc.
The real goal? I believe it will manifest itself through the 'banksters' and the globalists, and it will be "cold." And, through the CFR, the Bilderbergers and the Council of 13 as well. Money, money, money – it's the only thing any of those cowardly thugs understand. And Bush and Cheney are getting their share of the raid, on that you can bet.

Hocking Hills Region of Ohio has been inhabited for centuries. More than
a hundred and fifty years ago, so many small towns cropped up around the
fast-growing iron and railroad industries in the region that the area
would give Columbus and Cincinnati's 21st century urban sprawl a run for
its money.
But the railroads left and the industry is gone. Little
remains of the existence of those from Hocking Hills' spirited past
except a few scattered towns, dilapidated skeletons of iron furnaces,
abandoned train tracks and a few rock foundations hidden in the weeds.
Well, and a few ghosts.
In fact, there are some
folks who swear the Hocking Hills region is covered with ghosts of the past
still lurking around. But who are we to say. You're probably a
skeptic anyway. But maybe they can convince you
it's true. If not, come for a visit and dare to
find out for yourself.

Parks, Cemeteries and other locations have specific hours of operation which

because they are listed here does not mean you can go there without

first. Always check with local authorities, land owners and law enforcement

Get written permission to use property. Don't trespass. Respect the areas

Faced with a requirement of mammoth resources for expansion, the railways will need to involve the private sector, Railway Minister Mamata Banerjee said, but ruled out outright privatisation.
Sounding upbeat on the 'Vision 2020' unveiled for the Railways, Ms. Banerjee said in the Rajya Sabha that the plan hinges significantly on revenue generation through commercial utilisation of surplus land.
"We are not going to privatise our Railways. This is our commitment. I am proud of my 14 lakh employees," she said, rejecting the Opposition's charge in this regard.
However, for generation of money and creation of infrastructure, surplus space has to be utilised for commercial use, she said.
Banerjee said the railways need huge resources for clearing pending projects worth Rs one lakh crore. "Where will the money come from? It will not drop from the heavens," she said, offending Congress member Praveen Rashtrapal, who staged a walkout in protest.
The minister said, in seven months she has presented two budgets and unveiled a long-term vision for the organisation, which is a must for delivering performance.
Without the long-term planning and execution, it would not be possible to start new trains and decongest traffic.
The House returned the concerned Appropriation bills, as passed by the Lok Sabha, enabling Railways to withdraw money from the exchequer for a part of 2010-11 and some authorisations for the current fiscal and 2008-09.

The hotel is situated in the upper part of the village at the coast in France. Lovely, however, wouldn´t recommend to stay there longer than couple of nights. WiFi was perfect, the bed and bathroom clean, however, the nearby restaurant as the part of the hotel rather limited in the offer, anyway, we had a great selection of seafood and... More

Perth weatherRe: Perth weatherI thought it was getting busier earlier on, but with nice weather and lighter mornings the numbers of riders skyrocketed this morning.
The trouble with jogging is that the ice falls out of your glass
Re: Perth weatherA bit quiet this morning, maybe the forecast for isolated showers, maybe everyone takes Friday off to rest of the weekend pelotons? I did my 20km commute from Jandakot to the CBD and only got passed once (giant flat bar with an electric assist front hub) and I'm pretty slow at the moment after a long winter off the bike. Good to be pedalling.
Re: Perth weather/me looks out window.... oooohhhh that's why no one was riding this morning. =[
Re: Perth weatherI'm about to head off to start the weekend, nothing on the radar?
Definitely quieter than the busier fine days this week.
Re: Perth weatherEnded up copping 40kph gusts on Friday arvo, overcast but no rain. I know, I know, "harden up princess". I just hate riding into a head wind, makes commuting feel like a chore. May experiment with music/podcasts in one earphone to see if it's enough of a distraction.
Re: Perth weatherI did feel it Friday along the length of Riverside Drive, it's only the beginning 3km for me and it's much nicer than work so no complaints with the scenery moving by more slowly. Turning north at Narrows feels sheltered or tail wind so probably easier than you had it.
I use an mp3 and sealing/noise reducing headphone bud in the left ear, adding the right bud the rare times that wind chill is blasting the ear drum and am now not wearing winter ear warmer headband. In fact I think I did that Friday arvo on Riverside Drive, it was pretty choppy on the water. Without it my mind is usually busy with observational and tangential thoughts, so when the mp3 battery is flat it's a moment of disappointment, before forgetting it. Only light easterly that was hardly a headwind at times this morning, the cold legs seemed to take 20km to wake up and work for the last 3km, nice 25°C today so the ride home should be beautiful, slight tail wind to help. I'm looking forward to the isolated showers forecast for Wednesday as an excuse to ride a bike with mudguards that needs updates tested.
Re: Perth weatherFirst ride in nearly 2 weeks after a bout of a nasty virus.
Perfect weather which was nice, but the lungs and heart rate was complaining loudly. Glad to be back into it
Re: Perth weatherThis hay fever is killing me!!! The weekend was so bad, I didn't even get on the bike. The trouble with jogging is that the ice falls out of your glass
Re: Perth weatherYeah RB I hear ya...I feel like I've bit hit by a semi trailer!
Proudly "a hater of academics with helmet cams"
Re: Perth weather
Well I now which would come off worse !!!

Re: Perth weatherAfter a variable five weeks the sun is finally looking a little more certain in Perth.
For the first time in months I travelled light, leaving the backpack with the beany and the spray jacket and the pancho and the... and took the fanny bag instead. I had forgotten how much easier it is to steer and control without all that extra weight tied to me. The birds are all coming out in droves too. Saqw my first cygnets yesterday. Heaps of pelicans, wild ducks and so forth. And some of those damned Portuguese millipedes are starting to make their move as well. Unchain yourself-Ride a unicycle
Re: Perth weather
Same, same. You should try mowing! I have been on "one a day" hayfever tabs for the last week. I usually would not take them for more than 2 or 3 days in a row but riding and mowing has meant that I suffer if I don't. On the topic of perth weather, dang it was cold this morning! <removed by request>
Re: Perth weatherWeather is good... pit about the blokes who haven't bought new knicks, the suns out again (it's not dark anymore), so everyone should buy new knicks, I saw some hairy arses today... and informed them that I could see the cracks in their riding ability....
Re: Perth weather
have a trowel and some plaster cement handy for when they argue that their knicks are not worn out. Doing us a all a service by covering up cracks that could cause an accident
Re: Perth weatherAre you talking plumber cracks or see-through knicks?
Re: Perth weatherI had to tell him... I always tell them
Re: Perth weatherphew, was a warm one this morning, but that northerly..argh
Re: Perth weatherWas fun out on the barren back roads of Toodyay yesterday, getting towards the heat of the day.

"I really liked how sturdy the card is on its own. Although on my computer screen the colors are distinctively light blue, when I received this item I felt that the shade was closer to an aquamarine green. No biggie, I liked them just the same. I do wish I could have changed the "thanks" for "thank you," as I think it's slightly more formal. Having the option to change the top and bottom wording was really nice. I can honestly say I recommend this product."
"My 2 year old son LOVES lions, so this card was perfect for his birthday party thank you's. As always, Tiny Prints delivered from a design, quality and price standpoint!"
"I ordered these with the name of my one year old son to use as thank-you cards and for short "letters" to the grandparents. They are super cute! I love the animal design, and they are just the right size for a short & sweet note. I also ordered the matching address labels which look great. Will re-order both in the future."
"I like gender neutral cards that i can use for the whole family. This is perfect for notes and thank you cards we use throughout the year for our kids' teachers, preschool teacher assistants, parties, etc. I do wish there is a bigger size also available."
"These note cards are even more darling in person! The blue has a little big more green than the website reveals, but it's pretty close. They look great and are perfect for sending thank-yous for my baby boy."

Realty Austin Expansion Enables Hyper-Local Service To Customers
AUSTIN, Texas, Feb. 15, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Realty Austin, an award-winning Austin-based real estate brokerage, announces its expansion plans in key areas of the Austin marketplace. Driven by its service-oriented mission and need to house its growing team, the company will open two additional offices in Northwest Austin and Southwest Austin in 2013 adding to its existing Downtown ( Central), Westlake, and Lake Travis locations.
Founded in 2004, the company has enjoyed tremendous success while strategically growing its team of 170 high producing local agents. The additional locations fortify Realty Austin's presence in Austin and provides customers hands-on access to its customer service-oriented team.
Jonathan Boatwright, co-owner of Realty Austin said, "Our expansion plans are perfectly timed with the recovery in the Austin housing market. In 2012 we saw a 25% explosion in local housing demand, and we grew our business by 48%. In the past we have predominantly been a virtual office, online driven company. This expansion gets us closer to our customers, and closer to our agents, so we can cater our services to the unique needs of these communities. We are proud of our success and continued growth, and we attribute it to the team we've assembled who continue to drive us daily toward reaching our goals."
Jolene Weinstein, who was hired in 2012 to spearhead the Lake Travis office, is joined by three new market managers: Romeo Manzanilla, Northwest; Jennifer Korba, Central; and Marc Warshawsky, Southwest. These four, who have decades of proven experience and industry acumen, will serve as the company's first point of contact in the newly established sub-markets. Boatwright continued, "Ease of integration, visible presence, and convenience for customers were key factors in selecting our new locations. We couldn't be more excited to delve deeper into these communities and get involved at a hyper-local level."Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

After a summer of widespread festival dates, Mumford & Sons won't waste any time going indoors to play a hockey arena in Minnesota: The folky British pickers have confirmed a Sept. 4 date at Xcel Energy Center in St. Paul. Fans have to register via a special link between now and July 3 to receive an email offer for tickets, which will be sent out lottery-style July 8. Any hassle that may cause should be eased by the fact that the seats are unusually cheap for an arena show, priced at $49 and $35.
The St. Paul gig -- which will arrive almost a year after the release of the band's second album "Babel" -- was a surprisingly long-time-coming for Twin Cities fans, who got in on the Mumford craze earlier than in most U.S. cities. Fellow Englishmen the Vaccines, known for the rocky hit "Post Break-Up Sex," will open.
The timing of the concert announcement seems unusual, given that the band had to cancel its Bonnaroo gig and several other dates this month after bassist Ted Dwayne was hospitalized with a blood clot on his brain. Apparently, though, Dwayne's surgery went well, and he will be ready to go.

Great fit these pants are super soft and mold to my body. I absolutely love them. February 12, 2015
Fits awkward I got a size 3 and a size 5 (i am normally a size three) and barley could even fit in the threes���the thighs were super tight (i felt like the material was going to rip it was so tight) therefore I tried on the fives and they fit a little better thighs weren't too tight but the waist was big. I ended up returning the threes but kept the fives. They are super cute and comfortable (other than the sizing���) November 25, 2013

I am trying to get my phone back to stock so I can send it back, already received new one. I rooted the phone and all I did was get rid of bloatware, I put everything on my sd card that i deleted and have moved them back into the system/app folder but after going through everything and doing factory reset on the phone not all of the apps are back on the phone. I just want to get it back to stock so if there is a step by step direction somewhere i would appreciate it if you could lead me in right direction. I have looked and found a couple but cant find the download, keep getting page not found. Thanks in advance if someone can help me.
Try this thread: http://www.droidforums.net/forum/mo...-5-893-fxz-901-902-compatible-902-update.html Good luck
The more I thought about this, the more I think the right answer for you is to remove the superuser app and anything else that points to the phone having been rooted and send it back. If the bloatware stuff doesn't work I don't think that will be an issue (assuming you are sending it back as a warranty return) as they will totally wipe phone and reflash it.
I did an unroot and factory reset but yet it still shows the Kinetx v1.0 as the build?? And when I click system update it says system is up to date but system version is still 894??
Using sarg's fxz method will help you get rid of root. Never had luck just doing a factory reset either.

The tale of Curious George is sweet and basic. George, an African monkey, is being raised by the Man in the Yellow Hat. The Man in the Yellow Hat tries very hard to care for George, however, complications frequently occur, typically George's naivety and curiosity get him and others into trouble.
The Man in the Yellow hat is typically able to save the day. On the rare occasions that things are beyond the Man in the Yellow Hat's control, George comes through and rights all wrong (usually George is the cause of the wrong). In the end, because George is just a helpless, innocent little monkey, everyone realizes that he is sorry for his actions, and they forgive him for causing trouble.
For over sixty years Curious George has been entertaining and educating young people. The concept of Curious George began as a series of children's books written by Margret and H.A. Rey in 1941. The books were immensely popular with children because George possessed so many child-like characteristics, and the plot was so basic and innocent.
In 1979 the Curious George books were turned into a cartoon so a wider audience could enjoy them.
Curious George airs on PBS weekdays at 8:30 am; & 3:30 pm eastern time.

Since his retirement from drag racing in 2003, "Big Daddy" Don Garlits has lived his life just like he raced-full speed ahead. The legendary Top Fuel driver has worked as a TV commentator for ESPN's race and car show coverage. He's co-written a book about his racing career: Tales from the Dragstrip with "Big Daddy" Don Garlits. His true passion, though, has been tending to the Don Garlits Museum of Drag Racing, the museum he opened in Ocala, Florida in 1976.
In his 53 years of drag racing, "Big Daddy" Don Garlits piled up enough achievements and accolades to fill his museum all by himself. He began racing in 1950 and scored his first major victory in 1955. His first AHRA national event victory--the first of "Big Daddy's" 144 national event wins--came in 1958 at the AHRA Nationals in Great Bend, Kansas. His first NHRA national event came in Top Fuel at the 1963 Winternationals in Pomona, California. His legendary career included 17 World Championships-10 AHRA, 4 IHRA, and 3 NHRA- and eight U.S. Nationals.
During his career, Don Garlits was the first to break the 170, 180, 200, 240, 250, and 270 mile-per-hour barriers. He also single-handedly changed the course of Top Fuel drag racing with his revolutionary rear-engine dragster design still used on today's dragsters. In 2001, he was voted the "Number 1 Drag Racer of the Last 50 Years" by the NHRA.
Don Garlits made his last official pass on a drag strip as a member of Team Summit in 2003, but his passion for drag racing remains alive and well at his museum. Featuring almost 300 cars, including most of Don's venerable Swamp Rat dragsters, the museum is filled with memorabilia dating back to the birth of drag racing. "You can follow the sport back to the 1940s," Don said, referring to the museum. "It's amazing to see how far drag racing has come, how much faster cars are going, and how technology has changed the sport."
And no one has contributed more to the evolution and growth of drag racing than "Big Daddy" himself.

Procurement Reform
A measure to increase the budget authority of federal CIOs and to change IT procurement was added as an amendment to the Defense authorization bill on June 14. The overall National Defense Authorization Act passed the House by a vote of 315 to 108.
The Federal IT Procurement Reform Act (FITARA), which was co-sponsored by Reps. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) and Gerry Connolly (D-Va.) and passed by the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee in March, was added to the Defense bill on a voice vote, along with a number of other bipartisan measures. FITARA updates the Clinger-Cohen Act of 1996, which itself was passed as a section of a Defense authorization bill.

White House Policy Statement
FCW: Senate panel pushes budget authority for CIOs
However, the FITARA that is now heading toward become law has been amended in some significant ways since passing committee. Lawmakers removed language that appeared to tip the scales in favor of open source over proprietary software – a change sought by many in industry. The legislation also now calls for the federal IT Dashboard to track "steady state" or operations and maintenance spending, and clarifies that agency CIOs have hiring authority over deputies and associate CIOs at large bureaus and agency components.
The measure puts "real meaning behind the term 'chief information officer,'" Issa said in remarks on the House floor. "Never again will someone have that title and have no budget authority or responsibility. When a program goes right, the chief information officer is responsible. When a program goes awry, it's his or her job to make it right."
"There are more than 250 identified CIOs in the federal government, yet none possess the necessary authority to effectively manage IT investments," said Connolly in an e-mailed statement. "This has resulted in duplicative and wasteful IT spending, with taxpayers forced to foot the bill for massive IT program failures that ring up staggeringly high costs, but exhibit astonishingly poor performance."
'Never again will someone have that title [CIO] and have no budget authority or responsibility.' -- Rep. Darrell Issa
The bill also pushes the acceleration of cloud computing technology, and tries to reduce duplication in IT contracts by requiring the Office of Federal Procurement Policy to weigh in on the creation of new government-wide contract vehicles. It also adds new rigor to the calculation of savings from data center optimization.
The White House threatened to veto the $638 billion Defense bill in a June 11 policy statement, for reasons wholly unrelated to FITARA. The administration has yet to offer comment on FITARA, but back in January, federal CIO Steven VanRoekel told the House Oversight committee that he already has the authority under the law to accomplish many of the policy goals spelled out in the bill. The Senate has yet to hold hearings on the bill, but the issue of CIO authority was the subject of a recent hearing by the Homeland Security and Government Affairs Committee.

Enjoy the sunshine (finally) and local events
For the remainder of this week through the weekend, there are several events around the county giving residents the opportunity to get out and hopefully enjoy some springtime weather.
The weather should be clear after Wednesday with warmer temperatures through the weekend, so these events should be able to enjoy springtime weather.
Thursday, the city of Barnwell will host a Spring Fling. The event is sponsored by the Barnwell Development Association and the city's Recreational Department. It will be held on the Circle from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m.
Music will be provided by Loose Stone and there will be children's activities including a quarter carnival with games and prizes. Hot dog dinner and fixings will be available from Boy Scout Troop 392.
On Saturday, residents have a variety of events to choose from including the Taste of Blackville, the Susie Rosier 5K Run, and two Easter Egg hunts - one in Barnwell and one at the Long Branch Fire Department.
The Susie Rosier 5K run/walk will start Saturday at 8 a.m. at the Veterans Memorial Park. Dogs are welcome to walk with their owners. Proceeds benefit the Barnwell County Animal Shelter Foundation's No Cost/Low Cost-Spay/Neuter program as well as their support and improvements at the animal shelter.
After getting some morning exercise and helping a wonderful cause, residents can take a short drive to Blackville for the 8th Annual Taste of Blackville. Fido is welcome in Blackville, too. (Bring Fido dressed for the best dressed pet competition!)
The Downtown Development Association is hosting the event. Raffle tickets for a BBQ grill are still available at Enterprise Bank in Blackville. The winner will be chosen during the festival.
Vendors include cooks cooking BBQ, inflatable slides, the Blackville-Hilda step team and band, pictures with the Easter Bunny (inside), a hat parade and the best dressed pet parade.
Many other activities are planned during the daylong event.
For the little ones' excitement, egg hunts are here!
Long Branch Fire Department will start off the Easter tradition and will hold their Easter Egg Hunt beginning at 10 a.m. They will also have a fire truck to explore and tires to climb. Two bouncy units will also keep the kids entertained. Hot dogs will be served.
The City of Barnwell will hold their annual egg hunt Saturday at 1 p.m. at Lemon Park. There will be prizes for the "prize eggs."
So, as the skies clear and the temperatures warm, make plans to take part in these local events.
Large amounts of time have been commited by many volunteers to make these events possible. Take advantage of what Barnwell County has to offer.
Happy Spring!

The good points-Year around boating, we get storms but no hurricanes, three other islands with in 30 miles, three more within 50, mainland only 26 miles away. Year around diving, people come from all over the world to dive here. Year around fishing, bass in the winter, tuna in the spring and summer, marlin in the fall. Year around weather, we just had a cold snap it made it all the way down ton the 40's, right now it's sunny and in the 70's. Year around---well you get the idea. If you can get bored over here you should probably stay home with your Wii.
If you have any specific question let me know
No need for a wii, wouldnt know what to do with that. I just dont have the need to disconnect with the rest of the world. Ferry ride is $70. Most people I heard had special insurance in case they got sick as the medicial faciliities are not extensive. The insurance was for a helo lift to the mainland. Even pregnant woman have to go over to have their babies.
Well just pick one of the Smithsonians to go to instead. Or maybe well go to Chinatown or take in a movie. Find something cultural to enrich our minds or even take in a football/ basketball/ hockey game. Hang out a a concert or see the orchestra at the National Performance Ceneter for the Arts. In the spring visit one of the nice botanical gardens ( nothing grows on Catalina...its a desert environment). Sidewalks all roll up at 8 PM.
Big game fishing like marlin, tuna....only 60 miles away from us. Yes it is temperate here...we get to see the seasons change...see beautiful foliage in the fall. Spring flowers...we have Eagles ( I think Catalina has two in cages).
I loved my visit there. Dont get me wrong. We sailed over and stayed in Avalon and Two Harbors both. Was a nice place to visit. Id go back again to visit in a heartbeat. . It appeared to me that the only year residents were either the very wealthy- who visited but didnt live there year round , or those who worked serving the tourists in the hotels, restaurants and stores. Everyone lived on top of each other in ridiculously small apts and houses. It seemed that most of the island as I talked to the year round residnets was owned by a few wealthy landowners who locked everything up.
Everyone should visit Catalina in their lifetime, just like many other places.

Bob Parsons, Founder Blake Irving, CEO |
GoDaddy is a web hosting and internet domain registrar, and the main concern of GoDaddy Group Inc. Founded in 1997 by Bob Parsons, GoDaddy has become the world's largest domain register company accredited by ICANN and has more than 40 million domain names under its management.[1] Along with hosting and registration services the company also provides e-business solutions and services like: email, website developing, Internet marketing services, SSL and security services.
GoDaddy is known for its racy superbowl advertising campaign, which began in 2005; since then it has been continuing to sponsor various sporting events.[2] CEO Bob Parsons has called GoDaddy's advertising "GoDaddy-esque"; which he defines as "fun, edgy and a bit inappropriate".[3]
Domain Name Wire carries out an annual poll asking, "Which domain registrar do you think is best overall"; GoDaddy won 47% of the vote in 2012 but more notably won 75% of the vote of those respondents that have domain portfolios of 500 or more domains.[4]
GoDaddy was sold in 2011 in a deal in which investment firms KKR, Silver Lake and Technology Crossover Ventures owned the majority share of the company. Bob Parsons stepped down as CEO at that time. In June 2014 the company filed its intent to go public with a $100 Million Initial Public Offering.
Applications for New gTLDs
GoDaddy CEO Warren Adelman confirmed the company's application for the .godaddy, .home and .casa top level domain names (TLDs). According to Adelman, they applied for the .home and .casa because of the multiple meanings that both strings offer, which can be used in personal contexts and by entities in the real estate industry.[5][6] It appears that the company plans to manage its registry operations in-house.[7]
In March 2013, GoDaddy announced that it was dropping the ".com" from its logo in anticipation of New gTLDs. Many heralded this as a great endorsement a month ahead of when the first TLDs are to be approved for implementation by ICANN,[8] while others saw it as a sign that the ".com" would continue to be assumed to be dominant in a New gTLD environment and was thus unnecessary anyways.[9] The company also announced that it was withdrawing its applications for .casa and .home, and only sticking with its Brand TLD application for .godaddy. It was noted that it was withdrawing its applications to focus on its core registrar business, thereby removing competition with competitive applicants it could work with as future registries and eliminating concerns that it will promote its own TLDs ahead of others'. The announcements were made at an event, Registry Days, meant to open a dialogue between the world's largest registrar and new gTLd applicants.[10] The applications were withdrawn in time to receive a 70% refund for each of the $185,000 application fees.
Domain Name Association Membership
GoDaddy is a member of the Domain Name Association, an organization that promotes the domain name industry and includes Registrars and Registries as its members.[11]
ICANN Involvement
- In 2008, GoDaddy has come under fire from ICANN due to its previous practice of locking down domain information for 60 days after the info is edited or updated. The practice meant that updating one's contact information could've potentially prevented a domain transfer to one of GoDaddy's competitors.[12]
- In 2007, GoDaddy agreed to take over RegisterFly's entire portfolio of 850,000 domains.[13] The latter lost its ICANN accreditation due to internal conflicts in the company that were causing its renewal and other automated services not to function properly.[14] GoDaddy's move was enthusiastically welcomed by ICANN, which was put in a critical bind by the situation.
- Over the years, GoDaddy has been the victim of numerous scammers sending out fake ICANN related notices to their customers.[15]
- In 2004, GoDaddy supported ICANN throughout a legal battle between it and Verisign over the latter's SiteFinder and Wait Listing Services, even agreeing to pay up to $100,000 USD for legal bills incurred though the process. Originally, GoDaddy had sued ICANN over it allowing the Wait Listing Service to go forward; that case was thrown out by a U.S federal judge.[16]
- GoDaddy Group was founded in 1997 under the name of Jomax® Technologies by Bob Parsons. In 1998 and 1999 they started to provide web development services.[17] During that time they changed their name from Jomax® to Go Daddy Software®, Inc. The CEO and Founder Bob Parsons commented in his blog that they were looking for a more remarkable name than Jomax® and came up with GoDaddy after someone suggested Big Daddy, which was already taken.[18]
- GoDaddy Software became an ICANN-accredited registrar in 2000 and started to provide domain name registration services at 70% less than the industry leaders' prices, despite the fact that in 2001 GoDaddy was approximately the same size as its major competitors. In 2005, it became the largest ICANN-accredited domain registrar in the world,[19] taking the title from Network Solutions.[20]
- In 2002, GoDaddy filled a lawsuit against Verisign over its site, Finder Services.[21]Later, Verisign shut down Site Finder to meet ICANN's terms.[22] Numerous lawsuits resulted from Verisign's Site Finder and Waiting List Service, GoDaddy and other prominent registrars were a part of these.[23] The services in question were eventually pulled.
- The company filed for an IPO to go public in 2006, but later withdrew its filing.[24] During early September, 2010 it was reported that GoDaddy was up for sale and could fetch as much as $1 billion USD. However, during late October, 2010, The Wall Street Journal reported that the company took itself off the market and pulled out of a potential sale.[25]
- A DDoS attack was made on GoDaddy.com on January 16, 2009 which affected thousands of shared hosting customers for many hours.[26]
- In early 2010, in response to a new government rule, GoDaddy stopped registering websites in China.[27]
- In December 2011, it was announced that a private equity investment funding round from KKR, Silver Lake, and Technology Crossover Ventures would be finished by the end of the year. One of the main points for the funding was for overseas expansion, and thus needed approval from the Chinese government.[28] In that year the company struck a deal in which investment firms KKR, Silver Lake and Technology Crossover Ventures owned the majority share of the company. Bob Parsons stepped down as CEO at that time.[29]
- Also in December 2011, GoDaddy announced that they would once again be featuring .co in their infamous Super Bowl advertisements. They first ran an ad for the 2011 Super Bowl, promising before-hand to unveil a brand new .Co girl, to be added to the likes of current GoDaddy girls, Danica Patrick and Jillian Michaels. The new girl ended up being a bit of a prank, as it was Joan Rivers. At the time of announcing the 2012 ads, they had already passed NBC's censors. .co Internet noted that the first ads they were featured in, in 2011, immediately caused an unprecedented amount of traffic and registration.[30]
- In January 2012, an anti-GoDaddy site, NoDaddy.co, was launched. This was significant given that a prior site, NoDaddy.com, opened in 2007 and was later acquired in July, 2011, by GoDaddy itself. It is unknown whether GoDaddy purchased the original NoDaddy.com site or threatened legal action. Prior to being acquired, NoDaddy.com was the second highest Google result for the search term "GoDaddy", and the site had received some 2 billion in investment. The new .co site is unaffiliated with the NoDaddy.com owners.[31]
- The 2012 Super bowl featured 2 GoDaddy ads, and it was the eighth consecutive year that the registrar advertised during the event. GoDaddy announced that this year's ads helped create record Super Bowl Sunday sales.[32]
- In 2012 and 2013, Afilias teamed up with GoDaddy to auction off .info domains that had been reserved under its Sunrise periods but whose trademarks later proved to be invalid. The first round of auctions produced highlights such as Cancer.info, sold for $16,005, and loans.info, sold for $12,205. Together both auctions include over 235 domain names.[33]
- In January 2013 GoDaddy brought in new CEO Blake Irving to take over the reigns of the company. Having spent time at Yahoo! and Microsoft, Irving started to shift the companies focus. GoDaddy advertising focused on small businesses owners and the company began partnering with and buying other companies in the industry, such as (mt) Media Temple later in the year.[34][35]
- Also in January 2013, GoDaddy announced that it had teamed up with OfficeMax to offer the first-ever retail store sales of domain names. Given that GoDaddy recieves many of its registrations from small and medium sized businesses, it was teaming up with the business supplier and retailer to offer bundles of domain names and other online business services, such as website development.[36]
- In September of 2013, GoDaddy Group Inc. acquired Afternic from NameMedia, a domain resale and aftermarket domain purchasing service. The acquisition also included the SmartName platform, a domain parking service, but did not include the BuyDomains.com website that NameMedia also owns.[37]
- In June 2014 the company filed its intent to go public with a $100 Million Initial Public Offering.[38]
The Major concern of GoDaddy Group is GoDaddy.com.[39] The group also includes other concerns, such as:
- Wild West Domains, Inc. - A concern of the company that deals with reselling domains and domain related products and services.
- Domains By Proxy - This is a private domain registration sevice provider branch of the company.
- Starfield Technologies - A branch that handles research and development affiliates.
- Blue Razor Domains - This concern of the company acts as a membership-based discount registrar.
Products and Services
According to their official website, the products and services GoDaddy provides are:
- Domain Name Registration- Providing comparatively cheaper domain name registration and transfer for both bulk and regular categories.
- Web Hosting- Different kind of website, blog, word press, podcast, hosting on virtual, dedicated, cloud severs.

GoDaddy has been named "Best Registrar" by DomainNameWire.com, a domain name industry news source, for five consecutive years (2005-2010). For six consecutive years, GoDaddy has also ranked as one of the top employers in the Phoenix-metro area by The Phoenix Business Journal's "Best Places to Work in the Valley" employee survey. GoDaddy was honored as the AZCentral.com's "Best Perks" Employer in 2009 and 2010. GoDaddy received several 2007 Arizona Corporate Excellence (ACE) Awards, including the prestigious distinction as the state's "Most Innovative Company". GoDaddy also ranked #2 on the ACE "25 Fastest-Growing" companies list and #20 on the ACE "Top 50" companies list. It was ranked #8 on the 2004 Inc. 500 list of the nation's fastest-growing privately held companies; #20 on the 2005 Deloitte Technology Fast 500 (growing 8,274 percent); and won the CNET Editor's Choice award in 2001, the Name Intelligence Largest Net Gain Award in 2002, 2003 and 2005; and the Name Intelligence Users' Choice Award in 2005.[40]
Events and Controversies
Refusal to Register Domain Names in China
In February, 2010, the Chinese Government imposed new rules for website operators. The new guidlines stipulated requirements such as the need to submit photographs and other information, and meet the service provider in person.[41]
Google protested this legislation by refusing to censor their search results on Google.cn on March 22, 2010.[42] On March 24, 2010 GoDaddy announced to Chinese lawmakers that it will cease registering websites in China in opposition to the new intrusive government rule. According to GoDaddy, this rule of increased monitoring and surveillance will put the individual or firms at risk. The company also said the rules will have a "chilling effect" on new domain name registrations.[43]
However, their effort has been criticized as a publicity stunt, given that GoDaddy so quickly followed Google's approach. The company responded in an announcement, saying their refusal to do business in China is not a PR act and that they are genuinely concerned about the situation facing the Chinese web industry.[44].
Potential Sale Issue
During early September, 2010, rumors began to circulate that GoDaddy was up for sale.[45] The rumour was later confirmed by the Wall Street Journal when they published a report verifying exactly that. The report also mentioned the company could fetch more than $1 billion, and that the company had hired the financial firm Qatalyst Partners to find potential buyers.[46]
At first, a GoDaddy spokesman said that the company "does not comment on rumours". But later, another report by the Wall Street Journal published in late October, 2010, noted that the company pulled itself off the market and was no longer for sale.[47]
Unlike many major Internet companies,[48] GoDaddy came out in support of SOPA in late October, 2011. The reasons cited for their support were interests in protecting American businesses from being robbed and American consumers from being harmed by counterfeit products. The company stated that it was trying hard to help SOPA become an acceptable form of legislature for all those involved.[49] This move came as a surprise, as GoDaddy, just like any other domain name registrar, could potentially have a major liability under the bill, as the responsibility for cybersquatting could be shifted from the registrant to the registrar.[50]
By the end of December, significant media and Internet user attention was being paid to GoDaddy's SOPA support; users of the webforum Reddit.com began a protest against GoDaddy, urging those hosting their domain names with the company to transfer their domains to another service. The original poster suggested that December 29th be made "Move Your Domain Day," and in response many of GoDaddy's competitors began offering discounted rates to those wanting to transfer.[51] Reddit users began contacting larger corporations hosting with GoDaddy, such as the Wikimedia Foundation, urging them to transfer their domains from GoDaddy as well.[52] On December 23, GoDaddy released a press release stating that it no longer supported SOPA, stating that it will support it in the future when and if the Internet community supports it.[53] In the first week of protesting, GoDaddy lost approximately 72,300 domains due to their support of SOPA.[54] After two weeks, when more solid figures were available, it was noted via the pay-site RegistrarStats.com that GoDaddy had seen 100,000 domains transferred away from its system; however, in that same time frame 117,000 domains were transferred to GoDaddy; therefore, the boycott did not see the registrar take a net loss to its hosting numbers.[55]
Legal Case Against Petronas
GoDaddy faced a legal battle against Petroliam Nasional Berhad (Petronas), a government-owned oil company in Malaysia and owner of the Petronas twin towers. Petronas accused GoDaddy of First Amendment Complaint alleging that the company violated the Anti-Cybersquatting and Protection Act (ACPA) for cybersquatting, contributory to cybersquatting and unfair competition under the California Business & Professions Code § 17200 and California common law on Septemeber 9, 2010.[56]
Case Background
The case involved two disputed domain names, petronastowers.net and petronastower.net, which were registered with GoDaddy by a third party, named Heiko Schoenekess, who used the registrar's online"dashboard" to automatically redirect the Internet traffic for the disputed domain names to pornographic sites. Petronas learned that its trademark was violated by the registrant On November 26, 2009. The company asked GoDaddy to "cease its contributory infringement of the petronastower domain names." In response, GoDaddy argued that domain name ownership disputes should be sent to the registrant or to an arbitration forum such as the WIPO. The company also said it will not tolerate illegal content of customer's websites and it will cooperate with law enforcement agency for the websites to be taken down. Instead of resolving the case through arbitration procedures, Petronas filed a trademark claim with GoDaddy on December 16, 2009 using the company's "Trademark and/or Copyright Infringement Policy," which excludes domain name disputes. GoDaddy replied that it can only take action against websites related to trademark infringement if the hosting was provided by the company, however the disputed domain names were hosted by a different company. GoDaddy reiterated its position that the proper venue to resolve the problem was through a UDRP. Futhermore, under ICANN's policy and the UDRP, registrars are prohibited to get involved with domain ownership disputes.[57] Petronas insited GoDaddy take down the domain name and the website, but GoDaddy did not. The registrant of the disputed domain names was also unreachable when Petronas tried to contact him or her. On December 19, 2008, Petronas filed an in rem action against petronastower.net. On May 13, 2010, the court ordered the transfer of the domain name to Petronas. The same situation happened to the second domain name petronastowers.net, which was also transfered to the company on August 27, 2010.[58]
GoDaddy filed a motion to dismiss the case due to failure on the side of Petronas to state its claim. On May 5, 2011, the court denied the motion citing that some issues needed to be clarified including the terms forwarding and routing and if they were part of domain names registration services. Following, the court's ruling, GoDaddy filed a motion for summary judgement on the three allegations against the company. Go Daddy argued that it is not the registrant of the disputed domain names and based on ACPA, cybersquatting is the bad faith registration of domain name that is identical or confusingly similar to a distinctive mark. In addition, the company asserted that its only role was it provided the registrant with an automatic infrastructure service to route the disputed domain names to his chosen websites. Petronas has no evidence to prove that GoDaddy acted in bad faith with the intention to gain profit from the Petronas trademark. GoDaddy effectively defended its position. On Janury 12, 2012, the court granted its motion for summary judgment.[59]
GoDaddy Sued for Downtime
In September, 2012, a plaintiff sought a class action lawsuit against GoDaddy for its downtime on September, 10. GoDaddy makes a "99.99% uptime guarantee" for hosting, which would apparently equate to 43.2 minutes in a month. GoDaddy already has an established policy for downtime exceeding this .01% guarantee, "you may contact Go Daddy and request a credit of 5% of your monthly hosting fee from Go Daddy for that month. The credit may be used only for the purchase of further products and services from Go Daddy, and is exclusive of any applicable taxes." The plaintiff alleges that he was not even given this word.[60]
