New Macbeth trail in Scotlandtags: Macbeth, Scotland, tourism, trail
The route will wend its way through several sites in north-east Scotland, in a move that organisers hope will boost tourism to the region, as well as separating the facts from Shakespearean myths. Details will be unveiled today at Glamis in Angus, where Macbeth died in the play.
The Scottish MSP Alex Johnstone was the driving force behind the new trail.
"Many people don't realise that Macbeth existed," he told the Herald Scotland....

My "Super" Tradescantia zebrina
I call this my super plant because of how fast it grows lol
I thought some of you would find this interesting so I decided to post a pic
Hope you enjoy it as much as I do!
How fast has it grown?
Well as you can see this is all from a single cutting that was 3-4" long about a month ago!
I have another of these plants that i get cuttings from but it doesn't grow nearly as fast.
As with most of my cuttings I simply stuck this one into damp potting soil right after cutting it from the mother plant.
Maybe this is how fast it normally grows but either way I find it interesting
Very pretty! It sure is doing great things.
Mine are either usually totally purple from full sun or mostly gray from full shade. This is the most versatile and prolific plant I have, it's in over 20 pots combo'd with many different plants and looks great with them all, in my wild-taste eye. I think it's a super plant for its' chameleon abilities.
Last summer I saw some making flowers, first time ever. Just glad I noticed, didn't know it was possible but after it happened, realized it's not terribly uncommon. From what I can tell, plants need to reach a mature age to do it, and exposure to cold in winter may be a factor. Will be interesting to see this year how the left-outside plants compare to the brought-in-because-they-were-at-the-base-of-other-plants plants.
I plan to do some mixed hanging pots once summer sets in.
I added four new cuttings to the pot with this plant this morning, i hope to get a nice thick plan I can harvest from by summer
Thanks everyone!
Yes, I added more Tradescantia. I want to get one real nice hanging pot of these, then I'll mix it up a bit
If I could I'd gladly give you a cutting or 2 but i don't think thats possible...

Modern gas fireplace for indoor/outdoor application
I am new to this forum but hoping someone can help me out. I am building a new home in the SF Bay Area and have an exterior courtyard outside my family room. I had spec'ed an indoor/outdoor gas fireplace for this space thinking that such a thing should be easy enough to customize. It's just a view-thru two-sided fireplace right? No such luck! Heat-n-Glo makes a unit that is designed for indoor/outdoor use but other two-sided fireplaces are indoor only. The only problem is that the Heat-n-Glo is a bit small and it's very traditional. I was looking for a linear, modern burner.
I've called a number of manufacturers and spoken to a number of fireplace showrooms and no one can help me. Does anyone here have any design ideas, models recommendations or custom shops they can recommend?
Many thanks!

I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask this, but it's a general programming question and I'm sure quite a few of you that develop Enterprise applications have come across this before. The company I work for is currently using the "standard" model for gathering taxes for orders: city / state / zip (we could include County).
I've looked at several sites and they offer several different tax packages, which is great. However, the only one that seems to fit our requirement is Zip+4. We probably need this b/c some cities in Texas will have like 6 tax "districts", some of which overlap. So Zip+4 would be ideal, but after looking at the data, Texas alone has close to 300mb (multiplying this by 50 would make querying terrible in our database).
Unfortunately we cannot use web services for single calls and we cannot set up a SQL server (or any other) database. Our one system is a relatively obscure database+dev environment. So if, for any reason, our SQL server database or the web service went down, we can't process orders.
Has anyone else ran into something like this? Massive databases dedicated to just taxes seems like a ridiculous idea, but unfortunately I can't use web services.
Does anyone have any ideas? I'm really stuck on this one...
Thanks in advance!!!

Dangote Cement to double capacity this year
LAGOS (Reuters) – Nigeria's biggest company by market capitalization, Dangote Cement (DANGCEM.LG: Quote, Profile, Research, Stock Buzz), expects to double its cement production capacity across Africa this year to 40 million metric tons ( 44.092 million tons), its chief executive said on Monday.
Devakumar Edwin told the Reuters Africa Investment Summit in the commercial hub of Lagos that the firm would add 9 million tons to its Nigeria operations, bringing them to 29 million tons, and open plants across Africa that have been several years in the making, adding a further 11 million tons.
Nigeria's UBA slows further African expansion to consolidate
LAGOS (Reuters) – Nigeria's United Bank for Africa (UBA.LG: Quote, Profile, Research, Stock Buzz) (UBA) has given pause to an aggressive expansion across the continent as it consolidates its existing operations in 19 different countries and meets commitments to fund large power projects at home, its chief executive said on Monday.
Phillips Oduoza also told the Reuters Africa Investment Summit that UBA's stronger 2013 profits had been largely driven by a 25 percent surge in deposits to 2.2 trillion naira ($13.41 billion), from 1.8 trillion over the year, and an expansion of risk assets by 40.5 percent.

Nigeria is on the rise, don't talk it down, minister says
ABUJA, March 31 (Reuters) – Nigeria has a strong, buoyant
economy receiving billions of dollars of foreign and domestic
direct investment in power, petrochemicals, agriculture and
consumer goods, but it needs to grow faster to reduce poverty,
its finance minister said,
In a spirited response to what she called a trend of
"talking down on Nigeria", Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala said she was not
concerned about short-term outflows of portfolio investment
which did not reflect the macro-economic fundamentals and
long-term prospects of Africa's No. 1 crude producer.
Nigeria's Taleveras, Aiteo bid $2.85 bln for Shell block – sources
ABUJA/LONDON, March 28 (Reuters) – Nigerian firms Taleveras
and Aiteo have made the highest bid of $2.85 billion for the
biggest of four Shell assets up for sale, but the oil
major is holding out while it tries to persuade them to team up
with Seplat, an existing operator.
Several oil industry sources told Reuters that, although
there is little doubt the duo can raise cash for the block,
Shell is concerned about the reputational risk of selling it to
two exporters of crude and importers of gasoline that have no
previous experience in running producing oil assets.

Letter: City should clear hydrants from snow banks
Why isn't the local fire department shoveling out the city's fire hydrants after snow falls?
Nearly all of the fire hydrants are so blocked by snow and ice all you can see is a small red rod sticking out of the snow banks.
With so many house fires reported in the news I think our city should be out there cleaning out those fire hydrants as soon as possible.
How long could this take? Maybe 3-5 minutes each?

This low cost compact clamp measures AC/DC voltage, AC current, and resistance, and is perfect for many applications, including HVAC and appliance repair.
Looks great. Read some voltages just fine. I have yet to try current measurments.
excellent quality. good features. excellent price.
Great value as I purchased it with a great sale price. Have not used the clamp on ammeter but at least tried AC volts and ohmmeter. Operated fine with easy to understand operation.
Started out to be a great value for the price. However after only two months, both meters suffered from rotary switch failures. We only used these about twice per week, should have lasted longer...
Auto Ranging, clamp on AC Current, diode test. One handed (thumb) function control. Great value, compares to Fluke costing $100+. Hopefully, it holds up to years of use.

WANTED: Begging for cowhorn potatos
I'm to the point where I'm on my knees begging. I can't find a commercial source. I did find some at the Canadian AG depts potato research center but the box is now hung up in AG limbo even with all the proper paperwork there. I can see it rotting in the Fedex warehouse using their tracking system.
I don't want much. Just enough to get the seed going here again. I can trade some heirloom irises or spiderwort. I could probably chop a chunk out of one of my daylilies.
Maddening watching the potatoes go from New Brunswick, Canada to New Hampshire via Memphis Tennessee and just sit in the warehouse. Figured by the time they clear I'll have black mush.
Some day, when you have enough to share, could I get some from you to start out here? I am in No. California. By then I will also have some interesting and rare heirloom potatoes to trade. I am growing several varieties from seed I got earlier this Spring.
It may not be too late if you are willing to grow them under plastic. U could make a mock greenhouse and use some hay to mulcm them. It mgiht work, it would be better to try that then waste them IF they ever arrive.
I sure wish I could help you out, but I have never heard of them.

"Chez Nora
Has Closed
Thank You for nearly Twenty Years!
God Bless You!
'Far better it is do dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs even though checked by failure, than to take rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy much nor suffer much, because they live in that gray twilight that knows neither victory nor defeat.' -
T. Roosevelt"
The couple purchased the restaurant from restauranteur Nora Dempsey — the Nora in Chez Nora — in 1994. Since then, they updated the multi-level restaurant adding an outdoor patio, expanded kitchen and menu and purchased the adjoining building to add a 60-person dining room and banquet room. One of their big draws, the rooftop patio overlooking downtown Cincinnati, is part of the original building and was the site of five nights of live Jazz a week.
Those looking for live Jazz nearby have several options, including Dee Felice Cafe (529 Main St., Covington, deefelice.com) or the Blue Wisp (700 Race St., Downtown, thebluewisp.com) over the river. As far as their famous crab cakes are concerned, Main Bite (522 Main St., Covington, mainbiterestaurant.com) in MainStrasse offers a crab cake appetizer with remoulade and lemon greens.
The couple hopes to partner with other MainStrasse restaurants to honor any remaining Chez Nora gift certificates. The 11,750-square-foot building is listed with Huff Commercial Real Estate for $1.2 million.
Japanese gastropub Kaze will be expanding its hours to include lunch beginning on Black Friday (Nov. 29). The restaurant will now open at 11 a.m. and stay open through their regular dinner hours ('til 1 a.m. Sunday-Thursday; 'til 2 a.m. Friday and Saturday).
The new lunch menu will include some dinner favorites plus a bento box or a sashimi lunch plate with Chef Hideki's freshest seafood and rice. All items range between $8-$23, with cheaper starters and cups of soup. And the restaurant will also be offering the option of lunch reservations plus outdoor winter seating in their heated garden patio.
For those of you who don't need a cocktail at lunch, Kaze will also be offering a selection of "mocktails," mixtures of their regular cocktails sans booze, along with their regular full-service bar.
Kaze is located at 1400 Vine St., Over-the-Rhine. More info at kazeotr.com.
As far as changes, the restaurant will be extending its hours to include lunch (starting Nov. 5) and Saturday brunch (starting Dec. 7), which will feature a make-your-own bloody mary bar. Chef Johnson will also be updating the Local 127 menu to include more seafood and beef choices with seasonal preparations, plus adding a bar snack menu with pork belly bites, devils on horseback (a pub snack with a fruit like dates wrapped in bacon), fries inspired the by the In-N-Out Burger chain and more.
And for fans of the "local" in Local 127, fear not: Chef Johnson will remain true to the restaurant's pledge of serving responsibly sourced foods, according to the press release.
Local 127 is located at 413 Vine St., Downtown. For more information visit mylocal127.com.
Mayday in Northside has long been known for their gourmet hot dogs and sausages, nestled in a delicious pretzel bun, but after four years of business, the owners — Vanessa Barber and Kim Maurer — are ready to kick their menu up a notch.
Starting on Monday, Oct. 7, Mayday will have a new, expanded menu developed with head chef Julz Lucas, a graduate of the Midwest Culinary Institute whose previous experience includes Honey, Mayberry and La Poste. With a goal of being a restaurant versus just a bar that serves food, they will add gourmet burgers, homemade oven fries, roasted chicken and seasonal sides, soups and sandwiches to their menu — all of which will still maintain their original focus of using local purveyors and making items in-house, including their bread. There will also still be the customer-favorite late-night dog and snack menu served after 10 p.m.
"Now that we have a new head chef, we want to take those traditions and expand them to a more diversified menu," co-owner Kim Maurer says.
"We have always paid close attention to the details when it comes to our food, but we are finally able to move beyond our signature dogs and add more exciting menu options," adds co-owner Vanessa Barber. "We don't want to be hemmed into the same identity we started with over four years ago. Mayday is dynamic — just like the neighborhood [Northside] we are so proud to call home."
The menu expansion will also include table service, a rarity in the bar-food world, again elevating Mayday's status from pub to gastropub. They've also added a new, outdoor biergarten to their two-tiered patio and will be adding more cozy indoor seating as the weather turns colder.
The new menu will be available daily starting at 11:30 a.m. (beginning Oct. 7) and remain in the $5-$15 price range.
And Mayday will also still host weekly trivia, dance nights and live music regularly in addition to the food, making them a food and entertainment destination.
Mayday is located at 4227-4231 Spring Grove Ave., in Northside. Starting next week, their hours will be 11:30 a.m.-2:30 a.m. Monday-Saturday and 11 a.m.-1 p.m. Sunday. More info at maydaynorthside.com.
Food & Wine magazine has confirmed what we Cincinnatians already know: Senate serves up some effing awesome hot dogs.
In the magazine's slideshow of the top 28 best hot dogs in America — "from classic franks to artisan wieners" — a photo of two delicious Senate dogs (taken by 513{eats}' Gina Weathersby) shows up first ... before Hot Doug's in Chicago and Crif Dogs in New York. That's what's up.
According to the write-up: "Chef Daniel Wright has received national accolades for his playful takes on pub food, including a regularly changing menu of hot dogs like the Croque Madame (Black Forest ham, poached egg, béchamel) and the Lindsey Lohan (goat cheese, caramelized onions, bacon, arugula and balsamic vinegar)."
Now, where to go for lunch?
This is what guided Myra Griffin of Myra's Dionysus as she ventured to open her own restaurant near the University of Cincinnati campus in 1977. She wanted create a unique eating experience in the Cincinnati area. Kicking off the next big thing isn't easy, though, and to keep it fresh, Myra saw to it the menu has an array of ethnic food.
"…I realized how little meat other cultures used and how much better it was for you," she says. "Thus I became a much more vegetarian restaurant."
When most people think of food in a college town, greasy quick meals and sandwiches from McDonald's come to mind. Myra didn't want that. In fact, one of her main criteria for a location was a college town, for open-minded individuals who would enjoy her healthy, vegetarian alternative to standard college cuisine. "Healthy does not mean it can't taste good," she says. That's what she strives to deliver for every meal.
Myra's other point in opening Dionysus was to craft an atmosphere where people could bring their families and enjoy themselves, again a notion not widely thought of in a college town. One would think more of fun drinking locations or places to get a quick bite but not somewhere you'd bring a child.
Myra's Dionysus is a place where one family in particular has created a tradition — four generations have enjoyed Myra's cooking. That is service that's hard to compete with. Dionysus is a kinetic place as well. It's always moving forward, adapting new dishes to the proverbial arsenal. Myra enjoys the challenge of coming up with new dishes. She draws on cultures around the world, relishing in diversity.
"It has been a case of trying things, if they work, keep them; if not, change," she says. At Myra's Dionysus, the goal for the restaurant is to entertain people through atmosphere, customer service and good conversation. Myra has her degree in education, so teaching her employees was simply second nature. Seeing workers solve issues together and have a great time doing it is what helps drive the business ahead of the rest.
Myra's Dionysus is an interesting establishment. It's healthy, odd, has history but plays on contemporary trends. Myra makes sure all of these aspects and more show off to the outside world to bring in anyone willing to give one of her dishes a try. All Myra wants at the end of the day is a good experience for people involved.
"The fun is in seeing others enjoy what we have to offer," she says.
Myra's Dionysus is located at 121 Calhoun St., Clifton Heights. Go here for menu, hours and more information.
The areas of performance rated this year include food quality, hospitality of restaurant staff, variety of restaurant menu choices, breakfast food quality, timeliness of room service and other food and beverage related presentation. Managing Director Michael Sheer and Executive Chef and Director of Food and Beverage Todd Kelly have received numerous honors for their staff's superior performance and dedication to customer service.
In December, Hilton Cincinnati's
fine dining restaurant, Orchids at the Palm Court, was named one of the top 100
restaurants overall in the USA by OpenTable Diners. On March 1, Cincinnati
Magazine rated Orchids the No. 1 Restaurant in Cincinnati for the fifth
consecutive year.
Orchids has received many awards for its extraordinary products, atmosphere, and staff, including the American Automobile Association's (AAA) four-diamond award for excellence for eight consecutive years. Zagat Survey, the original provider of user-generated restaurant ratings, named Orchids Cincinnati's "Top Restaurant" of 2011, 2012 and 2013. Chef Kelly, once of only six Hilton Signature Chefs in the United States, was named the American Culinary Federation's 2011-2012 No. 1 Chef in the USA, the highest honor conferred upon one of more than 20,000 chefs in the national organization.
With featured menu items such as roasted monkfish, Elysian Fields lamb loin and Maine lobster salad, Orchids remains a popular fine-dining establishment for Hilton guests and non-guests alike. "We're very proud of our food and beverage team," Chef Kelly said in a press release. "This award recognizes the hard work that we do each day to meet and exceed our guest's expectations. At Hilton Cincinnati Netherland Plaza we are dedicated to providing an exceptionally high quality of food and outstanding level of customer service."
Hilton Cincinnati Netherland Plaza, opened in 1931, is known both for its outstanding accommodations and its architectural prowess. Complete with rare Brazilian rosewood walls, German lighting fixtures, expansive Romanesque murals, and an original Rockwood Pottery foundation, this Hilton is a prime example of French art deco architectural style. The hotels boasts 561 newly updated guestrooms as well as more than 40,000 square feet of meeting and event space. Orchids at the Palm restaurant is open from 5:30-10 p.m. nightly.

I'm using core data and I have a predicate like this in a fetch request:
NSString *predicateStr = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"name like[c] '%@'",name];
NSPredicate *predicate = [NSPredicate predicateWithFormat:predicateStr];
Works great with one exception. Sometimes its possible that the name may end with a backslash ( "\" ) since that part is user generated and can also come from outside the app.
When it does, I get an error like this:
*** Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInvalidArgumentException', reason: 'Unable to parse the format string "(name like[c] 'mqcu\')"'
So I tried using stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString like this:
NSString *predicateStr = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"(name like[c] '%@')", [name stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:@"\\" withString:@"\\\\"]];
but then I get an error like this:
Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInvalidArgumentException', reason: 'The backslash is a wildcard char, and cannot appear unescaped at the end of a string.'
How do I properly escape the backslash?
** updated code in question to show actual related code to help anyone else who may have this problem*

It should have been a piece of cake. All he had to do was pick up some pretty little bail jumper who wasn't even bothering to hide. But cynical bounty hunter Jack Dakota soon discovered there was nothing easy about spitfire M.J. O'Leary--or about this case.
Someone had set them both up. Now they were handcuffed together and on the run from a pair of hired killers. And M.J. wasn't talking--not even when Jack found a gigantic blue diamond hidden in her purse. Everything told Jack this alluring vixen couldn't be trusted . . . everything, that is, except his captive heart.

The 2013 National Ground Water Assn.

Held annually, the NGWA Summit is now in its ninth year. More than 190 presenters are expected, who will offer 32 platform presentations and 25 posters in nine topic areas:

Commercial Compliance
Residential drinking water treatment products have a plethora of standards and protocols available to demonstrate that they have been tested and certified to ensure that the materials that come into contact with drinking water are not harmful, the products are structurally sound and the performance reduction claims are accurate. Commercial products were left in the dust, however, and end users do not have a significant amount of guidance within the standards to make the same distinctions about these larger systems.

FREMONT, Calif., Jan. 30, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- The Men's Wearhouse (NYSE: MW) today sent a letter to the independent directors of Jos. A. Bank Clothiers, Inc. (Nasdaq: JOSB) regarding Men's Wearhouse's compelling all-cash offer to acquire Jos. A. Bank for $57.50 per share.
The full text of the letter follows:
January 30, 2014
Andrew A. Giordano, Lead Independent Director
Byron L. Bergren, Director
James H. Ferstl, Director
William E. Herron, Director
Sidney H. Ritman, Director
Jos. A. Bank Clothiers, Inc.
500 Hanover Pike
Hampstead, MD 21074
Dear Independent Directors:
We are writing to you, the independent directors of Jos. A. Bank Clothiers, Inc. ("JOSB" or the "Company"), regarding our all-cash $57.50 per share offer to acquire the Company. As we have made clear, our strong preference is to work collaboratively with the JOSB Board and management to realize the benefits of this combination. Our offer would provide your shareholders with a substantial premium and immediate and certain value.
As independent directors, each of you has a heightened responsibility to serve the best interests of shareholders, without regard to conflicting personal interests. As you are no doubt aware, on October 18, 2013, when JOSB proposed to acquire Men's Wearhouse, Mr. Wildrick articulated a compelling rationale for combining our two companies: "We believe that Men's Wearhouse and Jos. A. Bank are ideal partners…. By combining our two companies, we can together create the best men's apparel and sportswear designer, manufacturer and retailer in the U.S." At that time, the Company was proposing to acquire Men's Wearhouse, and Mr. Wildrick was slated to lead the combined business.
Now, when Men's Wearhouse is proposing to acquire JOSB, and Mr. Wildrick will not be CEO of the combined business, JOSB, rather than engaging in discussions that might lead to that "ideal" combination, is pursuing an alternative transaction, including a material acquisition. Obviously, in considering Men's Wearhouse's offer to acquire the Company, Mr. Wildrick has a conflict of interest that might naturally make him prefer some other strategic alternative. Accordingly, we urge you to form a special committee of independent directors to re-consider Men's Wearhouse's offer and the JOSB Board's decision to reject it (without any discussion whatsoever with Men's Wearhouse).
We are confident that the Men's Wearhouse offer to acquire the Company delivers significant value to the Company's shareholders that is superior to what we believe you can reasonably expect to create as a standalone company. Our offer represents a 52% premium over JOSB's unaffected enterprise value and a 38% premium over the closing share price on October 8, 2013, the day prior to the Company's public announcement of its proposal to acquire Men's Wearhouse. Further, the transaction represents a 9.4x enterprise value to last twelve months ("LTM") Adjusted EBITDA[1] multiple (assuming $135 million of LTM Adjusted EBITDA as of November 2, 2013), which is (i) a significant premium to Jos. A. Bank's proposal to acquire Men's Wearhouse, (ii) in excess of Jos. A. Bank's historical average trading multiple and (iii) near the upper end of recent precedent apparel retail transactions. Moreover, we are prepared to increase our offer price if you can demonstrate or we can discover additional value through discussions or limited due diligence.
We note that the Company's Solicitation / Recommendation Statement on Schedule 14D-9 attempted to call into question Men's Wearhouse's commitment to complete a business combination with the Company. Please rest assured that we are fully committed to a transaction. If the fact that we have launched a tender offer at an increased price and nominated two highly qualified independent directors to your Board hasn't convinced you, we encourage you to engage in discussions with us. We are quite confident that such a discussion would make it crystal clear how committed we are to making this combination a reality. Furthermore, the fact that we have said that a combination between our companies faces antitrust risk should in no way be mischaracterized as a lack of determination. As expected, we received a "second request" from the Federal Trade Commission, and continue to work cooperatively with the FTC to obtain approval of the transaction as soon as possible.
With this compelling offer on the table and our mutual belief in the strategic and financial value of combining our companies, we urge you to do what is right for your shareholders and form a special committee of independent directors and enter constructive negotiations with us immediately.
On Behalf of the Board of Directors
of The Men's Wearhouse, Inc.,
Douglas S. Ewert
President, Chief Executive Officer and Director

Bank can obtain additional information regarding the direct and indirect interests of the nominees and other participants by reading the Proxy Statement when it becomes available.
This press release contains forward-looking information. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and a variety of factors could cause actual results to differ materially from the anticipated or expected results expressed in or suggested by these forward-looking statements.

Future results will also be dependent upon our ability to continue to identify and complete successful expansions and penetrations into existing and new markets and our ability to integrate such expansions with our existing operations. These statements also include assumptions about our offer to acquire Jos. A. Bank (including its benefits, results, effects and timing) that may not be realized. Risks and uncertainties related to the proposed transaction include, among others: in the event a definitive transaction agreement is executed, the risk that Jos. A. Bank's shareholders do not approve the transaction; uncertainties as to the timing of the transaction; the risk that regulatory or other approvals required for the transaction are not obtained, the risk that the other conditions to the closing of the transaction are not satisfied; and, in the event the transaction is consummated, risks related to the costs and difficulties related to the integration of Jos. A. Bank's businesses and operations with Men's Wearhouse's business and operations; the inability to obtain, or delays in obtaining, cost savings and synergies from the transaction; unexpected costs, charges or expenses resulting from the transaction; litigation relating to the transaction; and the inability to retain key personnel.

Wearable technology was dominant at this year's International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) , and MWC was no exception to this trend. New versions of favorites, such as the Samsung Gear (three new products were released: the Gear 2, the Gear 2 Neo and the Gear Fit), shared the limelight with new wearables like Pebble Time Steel (the new premium version of the company's previously released smartwatch) and the LG Watch Urbane. The most dramatic difference at MWC was an emphasis on presenting wearables as fashion accessories and moving away from the original clunky technology associated with t...

Who Knew? The first practical firefighting equipment was invented in Cincinnati
CINCINNATI - Over the years, Cincinnati's first responders have proudly served the residents of their city. Not only is the Queen City known for its accomplished service, but it also has a storied history of technological advancements in firefighting.
WHAT IS IT? Cincinnati invented the first practical fire engine
WHERE CAN I SEE IT? Cincinnati Fire Museum
WHO KNEW? Christine Mersch and Lisa Mueller, authors of "Cincinnati Fire History"
Christine Mersch and Lisa Mueller, authors of "Cincinnati Fire History," explained this little-known story that led to huge improvements in fire safety across the United States.
Who invented the first fire engine?
The A.B. Latta steam fire engine was built by Lane and Bodley in the mid-1800s. It had a steam-propelled engine, a design that was patented by Alexander Bonner Latta. Latta then constructed the first successful steam engine in Cincinnati in 1852.
How did the first fire engine work?
The engine had a square firebox with a furnace on top. The top coils of tubes flowed into the steam chambers, and the bottom coils connected through the firebox. Combustion and compression moved the water through the hose. It won a gold medal at the Ohio Mechanics Institute Fair in 1854.
How did the design evolve?
In 1912, the first motorized pumper was also introduced in Cincinnati. Prior to that, the horse-drawn fire engines used hand-operated pumps to move water through the attached hoses.
How long did it take for the Cincinnati Fire Department to become completely motorized?
All Cincinnati fire companies began using motorized vehicles in 1922. Horse-drawn engines were sold off at auctions for $856 each.
What other achievements did the Cincinnati fire engine accomplish?
Through the 1950s, steam fire engines manufactured in Cincinnati held the most world records for fastest steam, fastest water, greatest flow in gallons per minute, and highest distance for streams.

Private sector employment is up, along with new orders and production growth, according to new stats. Meanwhile, inflation is being held at bay.
October 5, 2010 2:18 by Reuters
Private sector business activity in the United Arab Emirates hit a 10-month high in September and the outlook was boosted by Dubai World's recent restructuring deal, a purchasing managers' survey showed on Tuesday.
The HSBC UAE Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI), which measures the performance of the OPEC member's manufacturing sector, rose to 52.6 points in September, holding above the 50 point level separates growth from contraction and up from 52.1 in August.
"The headline index is at its highest since November 2009 and it is encouraging that the gains in the score are being driven by growth in both current output and in new orders," said Simon Williams, chief economist for MENA at HSBC in Dubai.
"Recovery has come late to the UAE and the pace still looks muted, but the survey strongly suggests that the economic environment has normalised and growth is underway," he said.
In a Reuters poll last week, analysts raised their forecasts for UAE economic growth this year to 2.4 percent, from 2.1 percent in a poll in June after state-owned Dubai World sealed a $24.9 billion deal with most of its creditors, easing concerns about continued fallout from Dubai's debt crisis.
Output growth at UAE private sector firms picked up in September, with the PMI output subindex rising to 54.6 points, its highest since April.
The new orders subindex rose to 53.8 points, a nine-month high, which panellists linked to better economic conditions, the survey of 400 private sector firms showed.
Companies said demand from Saudi Arabia and Qatar in particular had improved.
UAE firms also hired staff and stepped up buying activity in September.
Input price inflation accelerated slightly last month, which firms linked to higher raw material prices, transportation costs and unfavourable exchange rates.
However, input inflation remained modest by the historical standards of the series, which began in August 2009, the data showed.
Personnel costs rose marginally and by a slower pace than in August.
"The September readings also support our view that, despite the Ramadan-related pick-up in consumer prices, the underlying inflationary dynamic in the UAE is weak," Williams said.
"Although input costs picked up modestly, output prices were stagnant, wages remained flat and the economy continued to show signs of carrying significant spare capacity," he said.

JOHNSONBURG – The Johnsonburg Fire Hall will be hosting the fifth annual Polar Sweet Express fundraiser to benefit CAPSEA, Citizens Against Physical, Sexual, and Emotional Abuse, on Saturday, Jan. 31 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
The event, which is coined as a "one-stop shopping experience for all your Valentine's Day needs" will feature local vendors that can supply unique gift ideas in time for Valentine's Day, as well as a chocolate-dipping station, beer tasting, wine tastings and several prize giveaways.
In a recently published article in British Medical Journal, researchers say there may be a correlation between working long hours and drinking too much alcohol.
The study covered over 400,000 people and found that those who work more than 40 hours a week are more likely to overuse alcohol. The study defined risky amounts of alcohol as more than 14 drinks a week for women and more than 21 drinks a week for men.
JOHNSONBURG – At 4:46 p.m. Friday, the Johnsonburg Volunteer Fire Department (Elk Company 2) was called for a reported gas leak at 325 High St. in Johnsonburg. After inspecting the home, firefighters left the scene approximately 30 minutes later at around 5:30 p.m. National Fuel was also at the scene.
ST. MARYS – In recent months, Life and Independence for Today (LIFT) has installed displays in local libraries for assistive technology for persons with disabilities, a program that LIFT staff are celebrating as a major success.
"I think it's working almost better than we had anticipated," assistive technology coordinator Charlie Williamson said. "We are having more and more people receiving their own assistive technology. I think just in the last month, I've had 12 people who have gone through the entire process and now have technology of their very own."
The Ridgway Area School District school board held a brief budget workshop meeting Thursday to discuss its budget process that officials are beginning to work through for the 2015-2016 school year.
RASD business manager Donna Sidelinger gave a presentation to inform the public about what they can expect from the board during the process that is set to last into June.
Sidelinger said that a preliminary budget presentation is expected to be made in March or April, and a final proposed budget presentation is expected to be made in May.
JOHNSONBURG – On Thursday evening, the 10th annual Big Buck Contest awards banquet, sponsored by The Daily Press, Ridgway Record and Kane Republican newspapers took place at the Johnsonburg Fire Hall. A crowd of nearly 300 gathered for the event which included the announcement of this year's winners in the adult, youth and mentor divisions along with prizes for the oldest and youngest hunter, smallest buck and random male and female. A special contest tabloid will be published Wednesday, Jan. 28.
JOHNSONBURG – Memorial Field in Johnsonburg is in need of repairs after it was discovered that the press box is moving away from the stands, and is in danger of ending up in the middle of West Center Street.
"The way it is moving, it is going to end up out in the middle of the road," said Joe Gilmore, JASD maintenance head. "It's already moved I'd say over two inches away from the stands. It's falling towards the road."
Gilmore added it is a safety issue which will need addressed regardless of whether or not the field is utilized.
The candles are lit for the Ridgway Chainsaw Carvers Rendezvous to celebrate its sweet 16th birthday.
A small backyard gathering has since evolved into a large community event with roughly 200 carvers attending every year along with thousands of attendees perusing the extraordinary artwork created in downtown Ridgway.
HORTON TWP. – A PennDOT snowplow truck was damaged in a crash late Wednesday morning on state Route 219 near Shawmut Road in Horton Township.
According to the Ridgway-based state police, 51-year-old Bruce B. Mowrey of Johnsonburg was driving a 2007 Kenworth T800 cab north on SR 219. He reportedly passed a PennDOT plow truck driven by 56-year-old Timothy J. Greenthaner of Kersey.
Mowrey's vehicle reportedly struck the wing plow and the PennDOT truck spun across the southbound lane.
The Ridgway Elks Lodge #872 is set to host its 44th annual Cerebral Palsy Ball Saturday, Feb. 7 at The Royal Inn in Ridgway in support of Pennsylvania's Elks Home Care Program.
The Elks Home Care Program is designed to offer free help to families of children that suffer from any developmental disabilities.
The Elks Home Care Program started in 1963 with a single unit in Westmorland County, but since then it has grown to cover the entire state with a staff of 24 registered nurses.

Looking to buy some hop from an online supplier (farm House Brewing) that I have had good luck with. Some of the hops that I am needing they only have listed as grown in 2011 and I wanting to know what other brewers think about using hops from this long ago. Their hops have always come vacuum sealed in mylar bags. If I do use hops from 2011 should i make adjustments in my recipe or treat them at regular strength.

I, as well, have made many hop purchases with Farmhouse. I have some 2011 crop that I purchased from them that I am still using with no noticeable differences. I also don't adjust the amount of hops I use, even with the bittering hops.

I'm starting up a worm bin and I believe I've found a population of Eisenia fetida near my house in a giant pile of composting leaves. I'm not positive, though, so I only captured two of them and took some pics. Also, it was raining. Heh...
The tails are pinkish yellow, and I believe I can see light banding on the segments. They are small (maybe 2 inches) and slender. They were very active and wiggly.
Apologies for the somewhat blurry pics, but it's the best I can do with my camera. At least the photo of them crawling into the bin (where they have disappeared) is clear.
Can anyone give me a confirmation on species? Thanks!
Hi joker,
I am not an expert by any stretch of the imagination. But, the worms in your pics don't look like the EF's to me. To me, they look like the common earthworms that we have here in West Tennessee.
I found another thread on GW where a person was asking for help identifying his/her worms. The thread is located here. Scroll down to the sixth post. It was made by lkittle. In that post, there is a picture of Eisenia Fetidia and of Eisenia andrei. Maybe that picture will help you come to the correct determination about your worms.
Good luck,
They look like earth worms to me I think Lumbricus rubellus. Eisenia Fetida would be more likely to be ina manure pile or outdoor compost bin with lots of food scraps.
takadi - Thanks for the dissenting opinion... heh. The yellow tails are what had me convinced, too.
Also, there's more evidence I didn't really make clear before:
I had previously gone out and collected about 40 L. rubellus from some shallow leaves, only later realizing they weren't E. Fetida. I went to another, much deeper and older pile of leaves in the same neighborhood and dug up the worms you see in the photos linked above.
None of the L. rubellus I collected before had tails with any coloration like the two pictured. More, the rubellus were larger and more purple than these two worms, with a much more pronounced difference in color between the main body and the band.
The rubellus all had a deep purple or inflamed-looking yellowish band, which also seemed to be larger in contrast to the body.
The two worms pictured have bands that are slimmer and closer in color to the main body than all the rubellus I collected before.
Part of the fun of this for me is the quest to find E. fetida in the wild near my house. I know I can do it! I'll try to collect more of the ones in question. If this fails, I have my eye on a horse stable a couple of miles from here...
Thanks again.
A little Googling brought up lots of photos of EFs
And wikipedia has a nice photo and blurb about them:
You'll see that it is plumper than the worms in your photos.
