Old router as ethernet switch
Likes # 0
Posted September 20, 2013 at 9:26PM
I was going to buy an ethernet switch so that I could connect both my TV and Youview box to a Powerline plug. However, I have a spare five way router and I wondered whether a router can be used as a LAN switch. Is this possible? If not, I will just buy a proper switching unit.

Yes, I've done this for my network. Guide for a Netgear is here, - if you have a different router, the login page will probably be different (it's often printed on a label on the base).

I have a bunch of coupons from lysol and I am a new kitchen cleaning which products should I buy? Any recommendations? If not for the kitchen any other lysol products worth buying?
Lysol spray is good for controlling fungus on feet (athlets foot). Spray inside of shoes and allow to completely dry. Also spray feet. Great to deodorize shoes and those stinky boots.
My husband has been doing this for years with success and no side effects.
I like Lysol toilet cleaner, comes in a blue bottle.

Aloha, my husband and I have enjoyed living and vacationing in Maui since 1994. Our mainland home is in Calgary at the foothills of the Canadian Rockies.
The tropical paradise of Maui has provided many special memories for our family over the years including some very active vacations packed with fun-filled recreational activities such as golf, snorkeling, surfing, kayaking, cycling and hiking while still providing ample time for just relaxing and marveling at the beauty of this garden isle.
Some of our Maui favorites are swimming in the ocean, the white sand beaches, lounging at the pool, chasing after post card sunrises and sunsets, endless beach walks, whale watching, strolling through the shops, savoring a cup of Kona coffee, indulging in superb dining or just staying in and enjoying our luxurious Maui home.
Over the years, we have become life long friends with many visitors to Maui that we have met from around the world as well as many Maui residents.
We are happiest when we are in Maui, which has become our 'tropical home away from home'.
The Owner purchased this condo in 2005
We fell in love with Maui Kamaole resort for our vacation home away from home because of the spectacular views and tropical gardens, privacy, peace and quiet and convenience to everything that we enjoy. The property features a modern villa style luxury condo that offers all the conveniences of home and is ideally located in south Kihei. Maui Kamaole is truly a Maui hidden gem featuring beautifully maintained gardens, majestic ocean views, abundant amenities and easy access to beaches, golf, restaurants, dining and shopping all within walking distance. The property also boasts two pools, a traditional and a tropical pool, each with a hot tub and two tennis courts.
A quiet, spacious, modern, villa style, top floor, lofted two bedroom, two bath featuring master ensuite with lanai that offers privacy for couples or families with children.
As an end condo in the Jasmine complex, our villa style condo provides a spectacular lanai and living area view of the gardens, ocean and swimming pool including views of the ocean and West Maui from the dining room and master bedroom.
For convenience it is strategically located on the property near the beach but between the two pools and BBQ areas.
Ideal for vacation spot for honeymooners, special anniversary or birthday getaways, privacy for two couples or a family vacation with children.
Aloha Patty,
Mahalo for our wonderful stay at your condo!
Thank you so much for your quick response, rebooting the router was all it took to get the smart hub working.
Your condo was just so perfect - comfortable, clean, organized and well stocked! We loved having our morning coffee out on the lanai.
We thoroughly enjoyed our vacation and hope we can return soon. We were so sad to have our stay on Maui come to an end. The time just flew by.
Kris and family
This is a great condo - plenty of room for the 5 of us. Everything is as promised and it is obvious that Patty is a cook as there was absolutely nothing lacking for kitchen supplies. All appliances are new and when we had an issue with the garbage disposal it was fixed within the hour (on a sunday!). There were new beach chairs, boogie boards, and even snorkel equipment available.This was our fourth time in Maui and we would certainly stay at this condo again. Patty was easy to deal with and check in instructions were clear and easy. The view was fantastic - much better than expected. Thank you Patty for a wonderful stay.
Our stay at your condo Patty was a pleasure. Your instructions and directions were so easy to follow to get to the condo as we arrived at night. The condo itself was very clean and the partial ocean view we had was spectacular.
The information binder that was included in the condo was very useful.
We had an amazing time and would recommend your condo for sure. Mahalo for letting us stay there.
This lovely condo with ocean view and memorable sunsets makes for an ideal Hawaii getaway. Walk to the beach, or if you are energetic like we are, walk all the way to dining and fun! The appliances (you don't go to Maui for appliances, but you use them!) are all top quality, and there's plenty of room and privacy if there is more than one couple. The owner made sure we had everything we needed (although we couldn't get late check-out, which turned out to be a bit more important than we expected as our flight was delayed by several hours, and the desk won't allow luggage to be left there.) A little on the "quiet" side if you like a party, but for adult visitors it's perfect.
We had such a wonderful time during our stay in your fabulous condo. It was great to have such a clean, comfortable place to call home during our week in Maui, and we appreciate all of the amenities you provide (luxurious beach towels, beach chairs, coolers, etc.). We were not lacking for anything and it was nice to have all the conveniences at our fingertips. I especially loved the location in south Kihei with the beach in easy walking distance as well as the commercial area. I really liked having that nearby yet being away from it and near other condos instead of in the heart of the commercial area like many of the other neaby properties. It is a nice quiet area.The grounds are absolutely stunning as well and I enjoyed walking the property and admiring all of the beautiful flowers and plants.
We have just returned from renting this unit for 10 days and we had the most wonderful time. We usually stay at a different property in South Kihei but it was booked up so we decided to try the Maui Kamaole. We are SO glad that we did! The unit was very comfortable and we really felt at home. The location is fantastic and we loved that it was an end unit with all the extra windows. We got very used to waking up with that ocean view and having breakfast on the great lanai! The unit was clean and well-maintained and having the extra's there (beach towels, cooler, chairs, beach umbrella) was so nice. The grounds of the property are gorgeous & very well maintained with gardeners working every day it seemed! The tropical pool is the closest one to this unit and we spent a lot of time there! So relaxing and just what we needed...wish we were still there! We rented movies almost every night and used the TV/DVD often...so nice to have that big TV for watching movies!
The only negative I have to say about the property (not the unit itself) was the BBQs. They are sporatically placed all over the grounds with a few at each pool as well but many are in the parking lots beside the garbage cans! Who wants to BBQ beside a garbage bin? The only day we went to use the BBQs, it took us walking all over the grounds to 5 different ones before we found one with gas! They are nice Weber BBQs but their locations and the fact that they must not check the gas on them regularly made using them disappointing.
Patty - you were so helpful in answering all of my questions and your property mgmt company in Maui was fantastic! They were wonderful to deal with - the whole process was very easy. We have been won over by this unit and property! I would (and already have) recommended this unit to our friends & other family and we will definately be back again next year.
Mahalo to you Patty for making our time in Maui so wonderful with the use of your home!
Hello Patty,
We arrived back in Calgary to a bunch of snow. A huge change from Maui!
The condo was awesome. Everything was perfect and we had a great time. I
want to thank you for letting us use your place. It is very much
appreciated. I am sure that we will return and would love to rent it
again if you are still up to it.
I also have been telling everyone about your condo and many of them are very interested in renting it as well based on my comments. If you give me the go-ahead, I can certainly pass your name on to them or visa/versa.
Again, thanks very much for the use of the condo. It is an amazing place.

Lots of hummingbirds at my house, etc.
I'm already starting to get sad because I know that before long they will be heading south. After my wife had mowed a little this evening, we had over 20 birds on the 9 feeders plus 1 designated as the "Neighbor's Feeder". The birds seemed to be still feeding from her feeder although she has not changed the nectar in 5 days. The birds appear to like my fresh nectar more than the neighbor's. We'll just see how long the birds go to her feeder.
P.S. Bambi & his twin messed around in the yard for quite a while today before deciding to take their siesta about 30 feet from my primary hummer feeder. Three of us went out on the patio to watch them from about 50 feet along with the hummers. The one on the right staired at me, but the other was behind the large stump. Had to go to our bedroom to see the other one during their nap.
WOW! Just hung out 352 oz. of nectar for the hummers. Hope they enjoy it. Still have a couple of birds hanging around the neighbors house and feeder. Hope they come to their senses soon and get on over to my house. This evening is 9 days since she put up fresh nectar.
I'm using about 48 oz. per day and I don't have 60 birds on my feeders at this location, but I will. It's very hard to tell how many hummers you have, but I like the 6 times the max that are on the feeders except during migration (then I would have at least 120 birds). Sometimes I have 45 birds when it is raining. I had planned on being gone for 5 days, but was gone 6 and had about 72 oz. left. I knew that I might be gone longer than 6 days.
I don't recomend any brand, just prefer glass, must have perches, no yellow or at least easy to get rid of it and be very easy to clean (I am sure I have Best Feeders and some plastic ones from Walmart). I paint the yellow flowers with red airplane paint or just pop the yellow flowers off the new models at Walmart. I'm sure most of the glass feeders that I have came from Fred's dollar store. The two 72 oz. feeders came from there and have the same base as the 32 oz.; but are not glass, but thick plastic. If I had fewer birds, I would use saucer type feeders because I like those. There are several manufacturers that make a feeder almost identical to the glass feeders from Fred's.

I'm Better Off NOT Working
I worked for the government for 31 years. Last summer I was offered "early out" at age 53. I took it, for a number of reasons, mostly health-related. Before retirement, my take-home pay was roughly $1700 twice a month. My last day of work was July 29,2005. Then the retirement pension checks started rolling in. My check , once a month, is a little over $2900. (I still pay income taxes and my own health insurance) Then came Katrina , and gasoline prices shot way up. When working, I was driving 90 miles roundtrip, and filling up my tank twice a week. I now spend about $20 a week on gas. I also eat lunch at home with my darling husband. The way I figure it, I am better off staying home, the money I would be spending on transportation and lunches out is more than offset. And the lack of stress has improved my overall health.
My assumption: if your paycheques came every two weeks, that was 26 per year, at $1,700. each, to produce annual income of $44,200.
Now your monthly pension of $2,900. provides $34,800. - or $9,400. (21%) less.
Yet - you feel better off financially, let alone benefitting from emotional, family and other advantages.
You sound like a happy woman: enjoy your retirement.
ole joyful
Thanks, joyful. I was unhappy about leaving my job. I miss the companionship of co-workers, and I was unsure I could stand to be around my husband 24/7. I find now that there are many advantages in my current situation. By the way, I used to get paid every 2 weeks, 26 paychecks a year. I ran my budget on 2 paychecks a month (24). When I received those two extra paychecks, I always found them handy for Christmas spending and vacations. Now every day is a day off, as I tell people. I never have to fret about asking my boss to take a day off.
And because I was 52 when I started to collect my pension, I was charged a reduction. If I could have managed to keep working to age 55, my pension would have been $3304 a month. I asked for an easier position for the last three years and was refused. I suffered a stroke in 2001 and I'm on a waiting list for a kidney transplant. But I try to be positive. I heard there's a 99-year old woman who holds the record for the oldest living kidney transplant recipient. I'd like to beat her record!
Now you are a free woman: you can do what you like with each day.
Use it to find some interesting things to do with others in your community who have similar interests, go to the library to borrow materials, and many have a paper that they get out occasionally through the year to tell of upcoming courses, interest groups, hobbies, interesting speakers, etc.
I just came from what we used to call senior men's coffee hour at church, but now they've modernized the name to ROMEO - "Retired Old Men Eating Out".
I said that it shoud be ROMDO - "Retired Old Men Drinking Out", but that idea went over like lead bricks.
If you have a faith connection, there may be a group there that would interest you - or, no reason why you couldn't start one to deal with some issue/situation that claims your interest.
Many agencies in most cities are looking for volunteers, dealing with many issues - quite likely some would interest you, and you'd meet some very interesting people.
You've worked for years to enjoy this time of freedom (we hope that it's "years" of freedom, while enjoying sufficiently good health that it doesn't restrict you too much from following your interests). Now's the time to enjoy them.
God grant you many happy, healthy years to enjoy your retirement.
Good wishes to you and yours.
ole joyful

Notably this college was a boy's school up until the turn of the century when protests gave way to the admission of female students.

New and Confused
I was searching for some information about step-parenting and stumbled across this forum. I'm not sure how it works but I'm going to post anyway and see what happens.
My boyfriend and I have dated since we were in high school. On and off, of course, but that's what most high school relationships are like.
We dated again a few years ago in University after I had just gotten out of a long-term relationship. We agreed to keep things casual until I could figure things out so we dated other people. In that time he had a child with a woman he wasn't in a relationship with and is now the father of a 2 and and a half year old boy. He has full custody of his son.
We have finally come to the conclusion that we want to be together forever and he's even gone so far as to say that he wants to marry me.
I really had no issues coming into the role as step-mother but after reading a few posts here I'm really apprehensive.
Does anyone have any happily ever after stories or should I just expect doom and gloom? lol
Every relationship has its ups and downs, whether it be husband and wife, mom and kid, or stepmom and stepson. I love my stepdaughter very much and even with all the drama and hardships that we have had, because of being a stepfamily. I wouldnt trade it for anything in the world. With that being said, everybody is different. I fell in love with my stepdaughter as I was falling in love with my husband. I couldn't imagine life without either one of them. So my advice is to get to know your boyfriend's son really good because if you dont love that little boy with all your heart it will never work.
And don't forget BioMom -- because she will also be a permanent part of your life if you marry Dad. If she's a reasonable person, then you can have a reasonably happy family that includes her child. If she's a psycho, she'll be in your life and messing up your family for years.
I wouldn't trade being a SM for the whole world.......We have my Sd full time, and have had her full time since a toddler......
IMO the best way to gauge is if you fall just as much in love with his son as you fall in love w/ your BF.....you will know!
There will definately be challenges, this lifestyle doesn't come easy so it is good that you are taking time to think things through.....
Why does he have full custody?
It is not all doom and gloom. But being a stepparent is harder than being a parent to your own biological child. I would not trade my husband and stepkids in for anything. But their mother has added quite a bit of drama and heartache to all our lives. What I can say though is that since you will be with the child full-time from a young age that will be a lot easier than being an every other weekend stepparent to an older child. You will have a lot more time to bond with that child in your situation.
All I can say is be a loving adult to that child and let your boyfriend deal with his ex and any drama she may cause. Do not accept bull early on from bm because you will set the tone for misery! And always talk to your boyfriend about child rearing issues and provide a united front to the child.
What Sweeby said. Not just BM but extended family.
Take your time and be sure they are all folks you can deal with for a looooong time.
It's very easy to fall in love with a darling little 2 yr old boy. It's also easy to get your heart ripped out if BM or her family decides to make your life a misery. Go in with your eyes wide open is all I can say.
Thank you all for your responses.
He has full custody because he has a more stable environment to raise a child. She sees their son everyday as she picks him up from school and has him until my boyfriend is done work.
She's known about me for quite some time so I'm not sure how hairy the situation is going to get. I'm bracing for the worst and hoping for the best.
mom2emall - your advice was especially helpful. I will definitely leave issues pertaining to BM with him to deal with. My first priority is making sure this beautiful little boy feels safe and loved by all parents.
It sounds like the situation is a fairly good one. Do BM and your BF get along?
I am somewhat surprised that BM never (?) has her son overnight. Is this true? I guess one question I would ask if how would you feel if their custody situation changed? How would you feel if this little boy whom you love was spending more time with his mother? Would you feel displaced? How would you handle it if your bond with this little boy weakened because his mom began playing a more active role in his life?
For me, being a SM has been challenging in that I feel I have a lot of the responsibility of parenting without the benefits. I am the first in line if SS is sick or needs to be picked up early, needs a ride to soccer practice, needs a forgotten lunch taken to school, etc. But I'm not the one he runs to when he's hurt, not the one he calls Mom, etc. It makes for a strange feeling sometimes. I often feel like a babysitter in a sense. I think, for me, this is exacerbated because a) BM is psycho and b) my DD is the SAME AGE as SS. This can cause a lot of jealousy/competetion in our home.
I think the most important thing is to take it slow, and never, ever have expectations. An expectation is a planned resentment.
Well, several upsides to your story. Since your boyfriend never really had a relationship (other than physical) with BM, that will most likely make things easier. My situation is similar, although I've always had custody of my son, but his Dad and I were basically just two young people having a "good time", then along came my DS (a true blessing!). His Dad and I have always been civil to eachother, no reason not to be... And I've always been more than gracious to and grateful for my son's "step moms" because they were, or are, a part of DS's life. Makes for a much nicer situation.
You are also seeking advice and looking for knowledge... That shows that you are serious about making this work. Good girl!!!! That will help things immensely.
I have two step daughters, and I love them both dearly. That's not to say they haven't been a challenge for me. Their BM did not make things easy, either. My DH was married to her for 6 years... It got ugly at times. My life is much richer from having the experience of helping raise my Hubbys' daughters.
I have to agree with some of the posts above... Let yourself fall in love with that little boy. He will bring you joy and laughter. It will really make a difference in your relationship with your boyfriend, too. Best wishes to you, and please don't be afraid to come back here for advice.

iTunes Users Buying Over 800,000 TV Shows A Day
According to newly released download numbers from Apple, one billion TV shows and 380 million movies have been downloaded from iTunes to date, with 800,000 TV shows and 350,000 movies currently purchased per day.
According to Horace Dediu at Asymco.com, the rate of video purchases during the past eight years looks like this:
Dediu estimates the rate of spending on iTunes video is approximately $1.75 billion per year. "This [estimate] is much more substantial than prior estimates mainly because movies are much more valuable," says Dediu, "A tripling of the download rate shows up as a significant rise in the profile of video vis-à-vis the other media types."
Using iTunes purchase numbers from 2005 to 2012, Dediu put together the following graph to break-out iTunes gross revenues by sub-components:
Dediu reports a broad view of iTunes, stating, "We have more information about number of users (575 million), what they spend on media and software and services ($20 billion/yr) and, increasingly what they spend on each media type (about $9/yr on Software, $2/yr on books, $16/yr on apps, $12/yr on music and $4/yr on video)."

LeBron has elbow strain, bone bruise
INDEPENDENCE, Ohio -- LeBron James shot left-handed layups and short jumpers at practice Thursday, but the Cavaliers superstar is not expected to miss any of Cleveland's playoff games because of his strained right elbow and bone bruise.
James was re-examined Wednesday night by team doctors, who took more X-rays and an MRI exam that revealed the strain and a bruised bone near the elbow. James was not wearing a padded sleeve over the elbow at practice Thursday but acknowledged it was more of a film session than a physical practice. He did sit out one portion of contact drills.
LeBron Will Be Ready
In promising to be ready for Game 1, LeBron James may be taking advantage of the concern and uncertainness surrounding his injured right elbow, writes Brian Windhorst. Story
"The best thing about it is there's no structural damage," he said. "The docs have given me clearance that I can't hurt it worse. ... Maybe it's a strain in the muscle or the tendon."
James will have daily treatments and another MRI exam next week. The NBA's MVP has been wearing a sleeve over his elbow, which has been bothering him for weeks. He said his elbow occasionally goes numb, but it will not require surgery to repair.
"We're just being very precautious right now," James said. "I didn't do much shooting."
The Cavs eliminated the Chicago Bulls in five games in the opening round and begin their best-of-seven series against the Boston Celtics on Saturday. James said if the elbow affects his ability to shoot, he'll have to adjust his game plan.
"If I am limited during the game, then I'll be smart about it," James said. "That's what I was able to do in Game 5 [against Chicago]. I was very limited in shooting long-range shots, so I started going to the hole in the fourth quarter."
The Celtics were preparing for James to be in MVP form.
"LeBron with a bad elbow is still better than 95 percent of the league," Celtics captain Paul Pierce said. "So it doesn't matter."
When a new pack of reporters wandered over and repeated the query, Pierce reiterated: "I'm treating it like he's 100 percent."

I only have 5 gal. carboys. i make 5 gal batches. when i make a 5 gal extract batch, I boil ~3 gal, cool, put in carboy, then top off with cool, clean water. I just top off to within about 2-3 inches of the neck of the carboy. I want to get as much beer as possible.
Is this bad? It does not leave much headspace, I just use a blowoff tube into a half full gallon jug. after fermentation, there is a lot of "stuff" in the jug.
I guess my question is if the krausen is blowing through the tube into the jug, is that effecting my final product? (or, is too little headspace bad for the beer?)
sorry, no pics, but for reference, I have about half as much headspace as this person
You should be fine.. During blowoff (I use the same set-up) you are gonna lose some beer, depending on the degree of fermentation. During my most active fermentations, I never lost more than half a gallon.. And it's usually less than a 1/4 gallon.
Tap 1- JubelAle Clone
Tap 2- Evening Bite Pale Ale
Tap 3- Twilight Clone
Tap 4- Dicks Danger Ale Clone
"Today I felt like burning some calories....So I found a fat kid and set him on fire"
I wouldn't worry about it. I get it all the time. You'll have some loss of volume due to the beer passing through the blow off tube but as long as you keep an eye on the water/beer in the blow off container so THAT doesn't overflow, you'll be fine.
As the others said, you're fine. My preference is to use a bigger primary, and a simple airlock, and since I have tons of headspace, I never get a blow off at all. It's fine either way, so don't worry about it!
that's what I figured. I just wanted to make sure whatever is blown out (krausen? yeast?) wasn't CRITICAL to my beer.
BTW, Groo, nice avatar. Haven't seen Groo in a LONGGGGG time.
are you calling me slow of mind?

The Nobel laureate in 2000. AP View Enlarged Image
Economics: No one understood the pretensions of government and the motivations of its players more clearly than economist James M. Buchanan, who died Wednesday at 93.
James Madison famously said, "If angels were to govern men, neither external nor internal controls on government would be necessary." The people in power are not angels, of course, and Buchanan spent a long and fruitful career probing the implications of that fact.
He is best known as a leading light in "public choice" economics. A key tenet of this school is that people don't park their self-interest at the door when they enter public office.
That may seem self-evident to anyone who watches public-sector unions in action or tracks the career of a typical congressman. But a half-century ago, when Buchanan and Gordon Tullock came out with their seminal public-choice treatise "The Calculus of Consent," their view was anything but common.
This was the Kennedy era. The Best and the Brightest were in charge, the Peace Corps beckoned idealistic youth, and Vietnam had yet to turn sour. Government, far from being a burden, was more like the cavalry that would ride to the rescue when "market failure" hit the private sector.
The concept of "government failure" was not yet in the economic lexicon. It is now, thanks to the lessons of history and to Buchanan's insights.
Buchanan ultimately produced a large body of work ranging widely among topics such as public debt, voting behavior, rent seeking and the design of constitutions. A common thread is liberty — and how to ensure it. The answer for Buchanan (as for Madison) was not to elect good people but to write good rules.
Buchanan had his share of professional honors and was awarded the Nobel Prize in 1986. And his ideas have penetrated far enough into the policy realm to do some good. But the work he started is far from done.
The idea that public men and women live on a higher moral plane — and could save us if we just let them tell us what to do — continues to seduce. Buchanan gave us an antidote to cant and charisma.
Let us not lose it or forget him.

Local flamenco guitarist William "Paco" Strickland passed away Monday afternoon. He had been battling cancer for the better part of 5 years. Having been the host of Flamenco Cafe, a program carried on WHQR for more than 15 years, Paco was part of the WHQR family and a great friend to all who were lucky enough to know him. Four years ago today, Paco performed on the program Soup to Nuts Live in the WHQR gallery. In remembrance of Paco, we have a clip from that performance in which George Scheibner asks Paco about his cancer and how it was impacting his life at the time. Additionally, I

When our webmaster John Mortara said it was my turn to post a Top Five blog entry, I thought it would be a pretty simple matter – just come up with my favorite flavors of ice cream, or Cincinnati Reds infielders, or whatever. But no, I had to dig down deep for this one.
Every now and then you may hear a WHQR announcer say "This CD was part of a major donation by Lee Fetner and Jeff Wingfield." Major, indeed! Lee and Jeff recently donated their entire collection of about 1350 classical CDs to the station. This is not only a huge addition to our 7000-CD classical library, it's the biggest single donation of CDs to WHQR of all time.

Last week we gave you a sample of some comments made by members who joined WHQR during our Fall fund drive that. Now it's the turn of some of our renewing members.
The Friday after a fund drive is always a good source of material for Friday Feedback, and we had a bumper crop this time, with comments from over 800 listener-members. Of course we're very happy that the drive went over its goal by the stated end last Tuesday, and especially happy that we had pledges from 295 new members. So we decided to limit today's selections to new members only, to see what the tipping point is that converts a listener into a member.

Greatest Game Show Hosts Quiz
The very first television show ever to air was a game show called "Spelling Bee." From those humble beginnings, the genre has spread around the world, bringing laughter, thrills and prizes to generations of eager contestants and home viewers. One thing all great game shows have in common: a charming host to help guide hopeful contestants to their pot of gold. As we celebrate the life of Star Search host Ed McMahon, who was born on March 6, 1923, we invite you to take our quiz and see how much you know about some of the greatest game show hosts of all time.
The Lucy-Desi Quiz
Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz rewrote the book on television. As the married stars of their own TV sitcom, I Love Lucy, they broke taboos becoming one of television's first bicultural couples and by openly acknowledging Ball's pregnancy and incorporating it into the show's storyline. Together they pioneered a new paradigm for television production and distribution and built an empire in the process. And, of course, they were hilarious and adorable together on camera, too. Take our Lucy and Desi quiz and see how much you know about their amazing lives on screen and off.

Hi: 8° Lo:2°
By Jamie Arrowsmith Wednesday 30 January 2013 Updated: 30/01 12:24
TWO of the Midlands most promising squash stars both excelled in the recent British Junior Open at Sheffield.
Josh Owen and Libby Corke, products of the rapidly growing junior squash section at West Warwicks Sports Club, both performed superbly to further demonstrate the bright futures they have ahead of them in the game.
Libby played with flair and determination to finish 24th in the event in a tournament that further highlighted the ever increasing standard in women's squash with girls from all over the world playing in the prestigious event.
The 14-year-old was handed a particularly tough draw, meeting a top seed from India in the second round. She fought all the way in a brutal four-game encounter, showing off her fighting capabilities to the full. In her remaining matches she won one and lost three but proved she is capable of competing at the top level.
Josh lost to one of the new breed of Egyptian superstars in the second round but won his next three matches before losing to the Indian number one, leaving him 18th overall.
Both players can be more than satisfied with their performances and can look forward to more success during the rest of the season.
West Warwicks has a history of producing professional squash players, dating back to the great Jonah Barrington in the 70s, and if anyone is interested in joining the junior programme you can speak to Junior Development Coach Deon Saffery on 07947 633785.
DEON Saffery was beaten by Tesni Evans in the final of the Welsh National Squash Championships recently.
Evans emerged a 3-1 winner as the duo, who have now contested the last two finals, produced some great squash in front of a healthy audience.
The first two games were shared but Evans went on to take control in the next two, controlling the T well to take the title.
Saffery heads to America this week to compete in the WSA tour.

Definitely NOT must buys ...
Nowadays hardly any Bavarian wears the funny grey hats they sell in some tourist stores. Furthermore, people drink their beer from glasses and usually don't use the heavy ceramic steins with a silver lid on the top. These are typical tourist souvenirs, which are not necessarily a must-buy.
Unique Suggestions: Wear the hat where nobody can see you.... ;-)
Drink your beer from the stein, but don't tell your friends at home that Germans drink their beer like that...
Also the rumor that Germans drink their beer heated is WRONG ....
Fun Alternatives: Good Munich souvenirs (in my opinion):
- go to the Alps, day-hike and take some beautiful pictures
- local cheese, liquor and hard saussages are good also
- if you happen to go to the monastery of Andechs: they sell a six-rack of beer bottles, self brewed by the monchs and every bottle contains a different kindRelated to:
- Backpacking
- Family Travel
- Business Travel
No traps in Munich
I don't think I want to add anything negative after I had such a good time in Munich.
But if I was aware of any scams or things where my fellow Vt'ers should be told then of course I would let you all know.
Unique Suggestions: I still think that buying the Welcome card is really handy for traveling around Munich and some places of interesting that your visiting will offer a discount for entrance if you have one.
Maximilian's - Just for Wannabes
It's not only a Tourist Trap, also many Munich people think the Maximilian's is a good nightclub ;-) The Maximilian's is one of the "most difficult doors" in Munich - not everyone is wellcome. Beside this everything is very expensive because there are many celebreties (for example some of the players of FC Bayern München) and wannebe-celebreties. The place is decorated like a cheap smalltown-disco and the music is not that good.
Unique Suggestions: Don't go in ;-) (just if you're a young woman who wants to find an old, perhpas rich, man)
Fun Alternatives: Munich is full of alternatives, not difficult to find another and better place.Related to:
- Luxury Travel
The history of this sounds great, but they do have 140 shops that almost all are on the expensive side of purchases. The food costs are high, and there are no bargins for buying meats, cheeses, spices, or other items.
Money Exchange - Best Exchange Rates
This Tip is for Americans who have accounts with Bank of America.
We all know that Money Exchange places are all rip-offs. If they advertise 0% commission, they give you crappy exchange rates. If you get good exchange rates, you take it in the shorts with the commission.
We're told that Banks or Credit Cards get the best rates. But credit cards typically come with a 2% to 3% foreign exchange rate charge (and you can't get cash, unless you pay through the nose). ATMs give you good rates, but typically charge ATM fees from both your bank and the withdrawing ATM's bank (i.e. you get hit with double ATM fees). Often the withdrawing bank charges you 1% of the transaction amount, and your bank will charge you $3 to $8 flat fee for non-bank ATM (or even 1% again for Citibank account).
BIG TIP: Bank of America is part of a Global ATM alliance that does not charge fees if you use another partner's ATM in their respective home country. Specifically, Deutsche Bank is partner's with BofA in Germany - so no fees from either bank when you use Deutsche Bank in Germany. (Please be aware that if you use Deutsche Bank ATM outside Germany, you will incur the double ATM fee).
Here's the list of Global ATM Alliance
Barclays (United Kingdom)
BNP Paribas (France)
China Construction Bank (China)
Deutsche Bank (Germany)
Santander Serfin (Mexico)
Scotiabank (Canada)
Westpac (Australia and
New Zealand)
cant really say...
umm...no clue...there are so many tourists here...anywhere...Marienplatz, Altstadt, Schwabing, Olympiapark, Englischer Garten, Schloss Nymphenburg, etc...
Everything is different, you have to pick what you like to do and see.

It´s not really a tourist trap.
Haus der 111 Biere (the house of 111 beers), has as the name say it 111 kinds of beer from 25 different counties.
1. if you really want to try the wonderfull bavarian beer, it´s not your place
2. because they really have this all 111 beers take a look at the date of expiration.
There are some funny stories about this pub:
1. if you break the record, you can drink for free for the rest of your life
2. if you drink all the 111 kinds of beer it will be your pub
Restrooms - Make sure you...
Restrooms - Make sure you carry change with you and be prepared. Nearly all restrooms, including those in McDonalds of all places. Not being a man, I don't know if they get charged but ladies we certainly do, around DM1 each person, if not can be a little more.
When you chose a place where...
When you chose a place where to sit, take a look around and see where the closest toilette is and try to understand if you will be able to reach it, I say that cause it is very simple to end up dying to go to the toilette and find out that it is impossible cause you should walk on people's heads!
Don't forget to cancel your...
Don't forget to cancel your ticket (even single trip tickets) before you get on these trains:
Look out for little blue boxes near ticket selling machines.

DOS BeerRequires you to...
DOS Beer
Requires you to use your own can opener, and requires you to read the directions carefully before opening the can. Originally only came in an 8-oz. can, but now comes in a 16-oz. can. However, the can is divided into 8 compartments of 2 oz. each, which have to be accessed separately. Soon to be discontinued, although a lot of people are going to keep drinking it after it's no longer available.
Mac Beer
At first, came only a 16-oz. can, but now comes in a 32-oz. can. Considered by many to be a 'light' beer. All the cans look identical. When you take one from the fridge, it opens itself. The ingredients list is not on the can. If you call to ask about the ingredients, you are told that 'you don't need to know.' A notice on the side reminds you to drag your empties to the trashcan.
Windows 3.1 Beer
The world's most popular. Comes in a 16-oz. can that looks a lot like Mac Beer's. Requires that you already own a DOS Beer. Claims that it allows you to drink several DOS Beers simultaneously, but in reality you can only drink a few of them, very slowly, especially slowly if you are drinking the Windows Beer at the same time. Sometimes, for apparently no reason, a can of Windows Beer will explode when you open it.
OS/2 Beer
Comes in a 32-oz can. Does allow you to drink several DOS Beers simultaneously. Allows you to drink Windows 3.1 Beer simultaneously too, but somewhat slower. Advertises that its cans won't explode when you open them, even if you shake them up. You never really see anyone drinking OS/2 Beer, but the manufacturer (International Beer Manufacturing) claims that 9 million six-packs have been sold.
Windows 95 Beer
The can looks a lot like Mac Beer's can, but tastes more like Windows 3.1 Beer. It comes in 32-oz. cans, but when you look inside, the cans only have 16 oz. of beer in them. Most people will probably keep drinking Windows 3.1 Beer until their friends try Windows 95 Beer and say they like it. The ingredients list, when you look at the small print, has some of the same ingredients that come in DOS beer, even though the manufacturer claims that this is an entirely new brew.
Windows NT Beer
Comes in 32-oz. cans, but you can only buy it by the truckload. This causes most people to have to go out and buy bigger refrigerators. The can looks just like Windows 3.1 Beer's, but the company promises to change the can to look just like Windows 95 Beer's - after Windows 95 beer starts shipping. Touted as an 'industrial strength' beer, and suggested only for use in bars.
Unix Beer
Comes in several different brands, in cans ranging from 8 oz. to 64 oz. Drinkers of Unix Beer display fierce brand loyalty, even though they claim that all the different brands taste almost identical. Sometimes the pop-tops break off when you try to open them, so you have to have your own can opener around for those occasions, in which case you either need a complete set of instructions, or a friend who has been drinking Unix Beer for several years.
AmigaDOS Beer
The company has gone out of business, but their recipe has been picked up by some weird German company, so now this beer will be an import. This beer never really sold very well because the original manufacturer didn't understand marketing. Like Unix Beer, AmigaDOS Beer fans are an extremely loyal and loud group. It originally came in a 16-oz. can, but now comes in 32-oz. cans too. When this can was originally introduced, it appeared flashy and colorful, but the design hasn't changed much over the years, so it appears dated now. Critics of this beer claim that it is only meant for watching TV anyway.
VMS Beer:
Requires minimal user interaction, except for popping the top and sipping. However cans have been known on occasion to explode, or contain extremely un-beer-like contents. Best drunk in high pressure development environments. When you call the manufacturer for the list of ingredients, you're told that it's proprietary and referred to an unknown listing in the manuals published by the FDA. Rumors are that this was once listed in the Physicians' Desk Reference as a tranquilizer, but no one can claim to have actually seen it.
With thanks to BEER IS MY LIFE .COM creator
The Bavaria statue at the...
The Bavaria statue at the Theresienwiese!
It's of no use climbing her head: it's very, very tight up there, you can hardly move without banging your head and it has only three tiny wee peepingholes to look out - don't expect a good view of the town, when you can't manage to peep through with two eyes the same time and when there's someone beside you who wants to have a look by themselves or keeps pushing you with every move you make because it's so narrow in there!
Unique Suggestions: Save your money and stay outside - wait for your friends or family to come back and enjoy the fresh air at the statue's feet.
Fun Alternatives: If you want to have a look from top climb the "Old Peter" near the Viktualienmarkt. It's cheaper and much more comfortable!
It is not actually a tourist...
It is not actually a tourist trap. But unlike in Italy, where I live, the opening times and days of shops are strictly observed, even on particular times of the year or when the city is flooded with tourists. Unfortunately on Saturday shops close at 4 PM, and on Sunday everything is closed, except restaurants. Besides, the Deutsche Museum was closed on New Year's Eve. What a pity!
