Five Ways the New Credit Card Law Will Affect Travelers
Yes, some credit card issuers have jacked up interest rates; some have reduced credit limits; others have revoked dormant credit cards. Those kinds of changes and most of the changes will affect everyone across the country.
Travelers are a unique group of cardholders. Ramifications for travelers will be widespread and are an example of where the letter of the law may not have a direct impact, but ramifications will be major.
Here are five main areas where travelers will see an impact as the law comes into effect and as credit card issuers feel their way through ways to replace the income that was lost because of this Congressional action.
1. Foreign Transaction Fees
This is a hidden fee that credit card holders pay, for the most part, unknowingly. If they have not read the fine print of their credit card agreement, most believe that when they purchase something in a foreign currency, the credit card will charge them in dollars after a currency exchange process. That is true. But some credit cards then add on an another percentage (around three percent) on top of the Visa/Mastercard one-percent currency-exchange fee.
Prior to the final vote on this credit card bill last spring, I had the opportunity to plead with Rep. Barney Frank's office to have these foreign transaction fees banned in the legislation. Unfortunately, the current bill was too far along the legislative process and he decided that these fees would have to be dealt with in the future.
Others have speculated that since these fees are paid, for the most part, by well-heeled business travelers, sentiment to control or eliminate these fees would not generate much public support.
These foreign transaction fees offer credit card companies a significant loophole and the credit card issuers are beginning to drive a truck through this weakness in the legislation. Some credit card issuers are expanding the definition of a "foreign transaction."
The foreign transaction fees can be increased and expanded. Reports have surfaced of the foreign transaction fees being applied to airline tickets purchased through Expedia and processed in the United States, but ticketed on a foreign airline.
Banks already are reaping more fees on overseas transactions. Not only are they raising foreign-exchange transaction fees—the cost customers pay for purchases made in foreign currencies—but they are expanding the definition of what qualifies as a foreign transaction.
In the past, people who made online purchases from foreign merchants, or who traveled to a country where the purchases are often in U.S. dollars such as the Bahamas, were generally immune from paying such fees. But Citi and Bank of America recently imposed their 3% foreign-transaction fees on all foreign transactions—even if that purchase is charged in U.S. dollars. Discover Financial Services also began charging a new 2% for foreign purchases last year.
Note: Many smaller banks and credit unions that issue credit cards do not include this foreign transaction fee. Presently, CapitalOne does not charge a foreign transaction fee.
2. Cash-advance fees (using bank machines)
For most travelers, these fees come into play when getting cash while on the road using a credit card. These fees are expected to be one of the areas of focus for additional income for banks. For domestic travelers, there is often a double-whammy when the dispensing machine charges a fee and the borrower's credit card charges an additional fee.
For years, credit cards have been the most convenient way to exchange money overseas. And one of the simplest actions is to simple pull money out of the wall at a cash machine. These machines are ubiquitous around most of the civilized world.
Today, travelers need to be aware that fees stacked on other fees can make what used to be a bargain an far more expensive proposition. For a traveler to pull Euros 200 from a cash machine in Paris, they will in many cases, depending on their credit card, pay 3% – 4% for a cash advance plus, 3% for the foreign transaction fee and then the obligatory 1% foreign exchange fee. That adds up to 8% even if the foreign bank machine charges no additional fee.
Be aware of the charges the banks are including in each transaction. The cash-advance fee and the foreign transaction fee will remain hidden. They will not be broken out when the credit card statement arrives in the mail or in email later.
Note: Look for a credit card with no cash-advance fee or a small per-transaction flat fee. My credit union Visa card charges $1 for any cash machine cash advance plus the one percent currency exchange fee. That's reasonable.
3. Tighter frequent flier and membership points rules
Once-generous "points programs" will become less generous. In some cases these once-free programs will only come with an annual fee. Many travelers use certain credit cards as an intimate part of their frequent flier and frequent stayer programs. Many not-so-frequent travelers amass more points from using credit cards than from flying.
American Express Co., which is known for its lucrative rewards programs, recently added new fees to its co-branded Hilton Hotels, Starwood Hotels and Delta Air Lines cards. Cardholders who pay late will lose their rewards points. They can reinstate them to their accounts if they pay a $29 fee. An American Express spokeswoman said the fees are consistent with policies on its other cards and is aimed at encouraging cardholders to pay their bills on time.
If part of your travel cost equation is cash back from credit cards, expect those programs to become less generous as well. Where these cash-back programs once paid as much as three to five percent, the rule will almost certainly become one percent with a few categories that may even change month to month.
4. Higher priced luxury card programs
Travelers will be deluged with new offers of additional perks. These may be provided under an umbrella program or they may be sold on an a-la-carte basis.
Everyone loves perks. Diners Club offers excellent airport club perks for international travelers. Citi has great medical benefits for business travelers who use their cards. Extended warranty benefits double protections offered by manufacturers. These will all eventually cost more and cardholders in many cases will need to stay alert and sign up to receive the benefits.
Typically, basic credit card perks like frequent-flier miles and cash-back bonuses can be had for no annual fee to around $75. Chase Card Services, for example, long promoted a United Mileage Plus Signature Visa card with a $60 annual fee that offered customers one mile for every $1 spent. In August, it started a new blitz to convince people that it would be worth paying annual fees of up to $315 more for a host of glittering perks.
For a $130 annual fee, United Select cardholders can receive double or triple miles on ticket purchases. For a $375 annual fee, United Club cardholders can get added bonuses, like access to airport flight lounges.
American Express is testing various packages of benefits that will be sold for an annual fee. Expect customized packages that will focus on slices of their customer base. A program for travelers to Europe might be different than a similar package for travelers to Asia. Leisure travelers might be offered one set of benefits while business travelers will be sold another.
5. Fewer free traveler-friendly credit card benefits
Credit card holders have a collection of FREE travel-related benefits of which they are barely aware. I'd bet that fewer than 2 percent of cardholders have any idea of the package of free benefits included with the credit cards currently in their pocketbook, wallet or purse. (When consumers don't even realize they have such coverage, it is easy to remove it.)
For example, here is a partial list of free benefits provided by Citibank on some of their cards. These will probably become part of benefit packages that will only be available with credit cards for an annual fee or on a per usage basis.
• Rental car collision damage waiver
• Extended Warranty Coverage
• Retail Purchase Protection
• Travel & Emergency Assistance
• Automatic Travel Accident Insurance
For example, my credit union credit card includes the principal sum for accidental loss of $1,000,000 for a Platinum card and $250,000 for Gold cards.
Pretty impressive. I'll bet few of you knew that you have hundreds of thousands of dollars in accidental death and bodily injury benefits when purchasing airline, train or bus tickets with a credit card. Few are aware of the extended warranties and even fewer still know about damage and theft protections afforded by many credit cards.
I guess when travelers lose credit card benefits they don't even realize they have, it falls under the category of if-a-tree-falls-and-there-no-one-to-hear-the-crash-does-it-make-a-noise. No harm done.
The credit card companies are masters at marketing sleight-of-hand. They depend on obscurity and deception for many of their fees — burying hidden fees in the fine print of cardmember agreements and never revealing these fees on monthly statements. Even their benefits, used as marketing and competitive tools, are shrouded in enigmatic cardmember agreement fine-print.
The bottom line for consumer travelers is, as always, be aware. In summary do some basic research into what benefits credit cards you are using have and what extra fees are being charged.
1. Know what foreign transaction fees your credit cards charge
2. Know how much cash advance and cash machine charges are for your credit or debit card
3. Watch for changing purchase rules for frequent flier mile awards
4. Examine credit card annual fees and the associated benefits carefully
5. Catalog the free protection and insurance benefits your current card provides

Combine badass leather and girly-girl lace with this unique fashion trend
Confession: When I hear the term "leather and lace" the first thing I think of is an old, run-down lingerie store that used to be right off the freeway near my hometown. The store window was filled with sad looking mannequins half-dressed in corsets and garters. Not exactly the height of high fashion. So I was a little wary when I first heard that leather and lace was the hot new fall fashion trend.
Click here to see our leather and lace roundup.
Luckily, this new fashion trend is nothing like that lingerie store. Seen all over the runways, these two opposites -- edgy leather and romantic lace -- make a great combination. And while leather and lace look gorgeous together, the two trends are just as stylish on their own, too. So I've rounded up the best leather fashion, the best lace fashion, and then the best leather and lace looks.
This roundup is equal parts goody-goody and rocker rebel. So if you've steered clear of lace because you thought it was only for fussy girls, or you've avoided leather because you associated it with motorcycle-riding tough chicks, this leather and lace roundup strikes the perfect balance. There's a little somethin' for everybody here.
Go on and crank up "Leather and Lace" by Stevie Nicks and start clicking.

Ya gotta pay to play!!
Just ordered a little tuneup kit for the bus, should be in today! Yanked off the strainer this morning and it didnt look that bad. I was expecting molasses.
Started to look around some more and do a little more thorough visual inspection on some of the wiring and came up w/ this. First we have a pic of the "fuel filter" granted its lookin better than most of the bus but look past it and take a good look at the pump and tell me if you see something missing b/c I do!!! HOSE. Also the wiring is not connected. Also that brown wire on the "fuel filter" is connected to that red wire which goes to the + terminal on the coil.
Next we have the coil wiring. - terminal is supposed to have the disconnected green wire connected which goes to the ignition distributor. Looks like spark and fuel are an issue on the bus lol
Last but not least especially when I get really get working on the bus. I put in about a 1/2hr before work so pls bare w/ me. In the beginning its gonna be a slow build. When I had picked up the bus the owner of the vehicle was budging the bus up from inside the car so I was trying to figure out what he was doing. Apparently he was tapping the red/black wire to the fusebox while lvg it in gear to jump it forward. As soon as I saw this I told him to stop b/c thats not good lol so I ended up pushing it. This is the loose wire from taking a look at the wiring diagram it goes straight from the starter to the front to a 8 pin connector which ends at the ignition switch. I have to find that 8pin connector. I hope the force is w/me lol
spark, fuel, compression....
Its clear to see the previous owner was on the right path to getting it running, and I am confident you will find where he went off the track. Get that tank drained, swap in the new parts you got and let the real troubleshooting begin.
Glad to see you using some of my time savings tips. GL.

OXFORD, Ohio – Nathan Williams shut out Akron for eight innings and the Miami University baseball team racked up 14 hits in a 6-0 win on Saturday afternoon.
The RedHawks (11-17, 3-5 Mid-American) evened their weekend series with the Zips (14-13, 6-2 MAC) with the victory, snapping their seven-game losing streak in the process.
Walks by Jake Romano and Gary Russo sandwiched around a Dan Walsh single loaded the bases with one out in the bottom of the first, but JT Brubaker recovered by getting the next two batters on a strikeout and a pop out to keep the contest scoreless after one.
The RedHawks put together some two-out thunder in the second. Romano's two-out single moved Chad Sedio to third base on a hit-and-run play and Romano swiped second on a delayed steal. Walsh's hard hit groundball was knocked down up the middle by a diving James Sheltrown at second, but Walsh beat the throw for an infield hit that plated both Sedio and Romano to put the RedHawks up 2-0 after two innings.
Sedio's two-run triple headlined a three-run fifth inning for Miami. The sophomore ripped the first pitch he saw through the gap in right center field and hustled into third standing up after plating both Max Andresen and Ryan Elble. That hit chased UA starter Brubaker from the game with one out in the fifth. Miami used some small ball to bring Sedio around as Steve Sada executed a perfect squeeze bunt to make it a 5-0 ballgame. The Red and White capped their scoring for the day the very next inning with Walsh touching home on Andresen's sacrifice fly.
That offense was more than enough for Williams, who maneuvered through the Zips' lineup with efficiency. He faced one batter over the minimum through six full innings of work, yielding only one hit and one walk while fanning six batters in that frame.
The Zips did put pressure on Williams by loading the bases with one out in the seventh, but the junior right-hander locked in by forcing Daulton Mosbarger to fly out and striking out Matt LoRocca to end the frame. After stranding two more Akron runners in the eighth, Williams was awarded an opportunity to finish the game in shutout fashion for the ninth. After battling with pinch-hitter Danny Lawrence, the batter laced a single to right center field to lead off the frame to end a sensational outing by Williams. Charles Zubrod was summoned out of the bullpen and retired the next three batters to preserve the shutout.
Williams (2-4) picked up his second win of the year by tossing eight shutout innings. He held the Zips to four hits and struck out seven batters while walking three. Over his last four starts, Williams has a 2.30 ERA and a 0.96 WHIP while pitching 31.1 innings, nearly eight innings per start.
Six RedHawk batters recorded multiple hits, led by Dan Walsh's near-perfect 4-for-5 afternoon. Romano (2-for-4 with two steals), Crummy (2-for-3), Andresen (2-for-3 with an RBI and a run scored), Sedio (2-for-4 with a triple, two runs scored and two RBI) and Sada (2-for-3 with an RBI) all posted two hits for Miami.
The RedHawks and Zips play the rubber match of their three-game set on Sunday. Ryan Powers will take the mound for Miami and he'll throw the first pitch at 1 p.m.

It's not for us to say whether Intel is guilty of underhand tactics in its battle with AMD over the consumer CPU market - that will be decided in a court of law. What is now clear, though, is that AMD does have a chip capable of challenging the Pentium M in the mobile processor battleground.
See our Laptop Advisor website for expert reviews of today's best laptops, plus read our essential advice to make sure you choose the right specs
There are currently seven Turion 64 processors: three running at 25W, and four running at 35W. The former are geared towards mobility, the latter towards performance. In the 4401LMi, Acer has opted for the ML-30, one of the performance chips, although it has the lowest clock speed of the four at 1.6GHz.
It's a 64bit processor, giving it a clear advantage over any Pentium M but this is academic, since it's running a 32bit operating system and applications. We know that the desktop 64bit processors from AMD will outstrip any 32bit desktop CPUs, but the Turions only just about keep pace with the Pentium Ms.
The Acer scored 77 in our WorldBench 5 tests, which is about five points away from a respectable score. However, it isn't bad for £759.
On the whole, the TravelMate 4401LMi is well put together and has a good keyboard. But storage options aren't the best - the optical drive is only a CD-RW/DVD-ROM combo. The 64MB ATI Mobility Radeon X700 is also somewhat compromised by a poor screen that can only stretch to a resolution of 1,024x768.

There are over 200 countries around the world, each with their own unique laws and requirements expats will need to take into account when finding accommodation. In some countries, expats are able to purchase property just as easily as the locals, while in others there are no circumstances at all allowing a non-citizen to own property, and often no legal means of becoming a citizen!
For those living in those countries, as well as those who do not plan to live abroad long enough to make owning property worthwhile, there are various other means of finding accommodation. Serviced apartments are a popular option with the expat crowd, especially those overseas short-term on business assignments. Serviced apartments offer the same facilities and conveniences of home, and oftentimes even more than a typical home- such as a private gym, pool, grocery store and more. Typical apartments and flatshares are also popular choices for expats, as this type of accommodation allows the expat to delve more deeply into local life. Living among citizens, or even with citizens in the case of flatshares, offers a unique cultural experience to anyone willing to try out the lifestyle.
Real estate agents from the expat's adopted country can be a lifesaver when it comes time to look for accommodation. Because these people are more familiar with local laws and regulations, they can see an expat through the process from beginning to end, whether this means signing a short three-month contract with a landlord or ensuring all proper documentation has been submitted when purchasing a property.
Not all accommodation refers to housing nowadays, however. With an ever expanding global business market, many expats choose to move abroad either to begin their own companies or to set up a branch of an existing company abroad. In these cases, an office search will be necessary. ExpatFinder offers lists of current serviced and un-serviced offices on the market all in one place, thereby saving time and money in the process.
It is a given that all expats will need some sort of accommodation for their time abroad, and beginning the search for this early cannot be understated. ExpatFinder offers a variety of options to suit expats of all needs and all budgets, from flatshare listings in rural India to glamorous serviced apartment listings in Singapore. Begin your search here and you will find it is unnecessary to look anywhere else.

Most farmers in north-east Thailand, where there is a shortage of water resources, rely on rainfall. As a consequence, harvests can fluctuate greatly depending on meteorological conditions. The development of the weather index insurance requires highly reliable long-term meteorological data. Khon Kaen Province has relatively precise meteorological weather stations, making it a suitable target for product development. Insurance coverage as well as penetration rates are low - Thai farmers are unfamiliar with insurance and struggle to pay back loans taken for agricultural equipment. In response, Sompo Japan decided to develop a new scheme to sell an insurance product with loans from Thailand's Bank for Agriculture and Agricultural Cooperatives (BAAC). Between April and June 2008, Sompo Japan made a trial product, prepared fliers in Thai for the product, and conducted interviews with local farmers. BAAC expects the product to succeed; in May 2009, a simulation for full-scale product development was started and Sompo Japan launched the product in 2010.
As a result of the simplicity of the product, where insurance is paid out according to the observed result of accumulated precipitation, the product has been rated highly by farmers in Thailand. The insurance has sold above the target of 1000 subscriptions. More information about this product can be found in the links below:

More pets are lost on the Fourth of July than any other time of year. It's a heartbreaking scenario for pet parents, but swift action and major networking can increase the odds that you will be reunited with your cat or dog.
We recently surveyed more than 1,000 households with pets across the country to find out if they had lost a dog or cat in the past five years—and if they did, did they find that pet and where did they look?
Of those pet guardians surveyed, 15 percent had lost a dog or a cat in the past five years, and 85 percent of those lost dogs and cats were recovered.
The study's findings suggest the following are key when recovering a lost pet:
- Searching immediately when one knows the pet is lost;
- Searching within the neighborhood first through visual searches as well as posters and online; and
- Checking local shelters from the first day your pet is lost.
If your pet is lost, it's important not to panic. Enlist the help of all of your friends and neighbors and hit the streets! Read our extended article on Finding a Lost Pet for more information and helpful hints.
GPS Pet tracking
I had great advice years ago from a coworker who had hunting dogs.He said leave several pieces of dirty laundry on your back porch.The dogs will pick up the scent.This has worked twice for me over the last 15 years with two different dogs.This happened with two different types of dogs both of which had been missing for several days.
Whenever my cat Milo has gotten out, I can't find him for 2 to 3 weeks sometimes. I know he is probably hiding out somewhere on my property, as lost animals usually are.
What I alway do is get a humane trap and put food in it. Eventually, sometimes as long as three weeks later, Milo gets hungry and enters the trap. I have suggested to people with lost pet ads, to put a humane trap out, because it is likely their pet is also hiding out somewhere on their property and will eventually get hungry.
recently we lost our indoor cat. I was told to put his cat box outside. In three days, he came home. It works!
Do you love your pet? Micro chip. My wife and I have rescued many dogs and not a one has had a chip. We find homes for them, but wish we could get them back to their owners.
As an animal control officer, this is my advice:
1. Make sure your pet is micro-chipped, and make sure you activate the chip! Many people I deal with tell me that their pet was micro-chipped at the shelter they adopted it from, but they don't realize that they need to call the 1-800 number on the pamphlet they received in order to update the information associated with that particular chip.
2. Keep your micro-chip account updated when you move or change phone numbers!
3. Register your dog with your town. Even if a dog gets loose without a collar, I can sometimes narrow down the owner by searching our registered dog files for the breed, color, and streets near where it was found.
4. Make sure your pet's collar fits well and has tags. I find many dogs with collars but no tags, or dogs that have slipped their collar.
5. Even if your pet is registered, I recommend getting customized tags engraved with your address and phone number. Some towns may not have the means to search their files by registration number, so the registration tag is no good for identifying the dog without the owner's last name. If there is a tag with the owner's name and number, we can just call them directly and save the dog a trip to the shelter.
6. If your pet gets lost, contact your local shelter and shelters in surrounding counties. Sometimes dogs cross town lines into areas where the animal control officer or citizens take it to a different shelter than the one covering your town. This is especially common in towns that border counties.
7. Contact your local animal control officer. This seems like a given, but I see posters and ads all the time for animals lost in my town that I've never been notified about. Most animal control officers will have a record of animals that they pick up, dead or alive.
8. Keep updated pictures of your pets. If they go missing, make fliers and place them in visible areas. Often, especially with cats, animal lovers think that the dog or cat that they picked up in the street is a genuine stray or an abandoned animal. These folks just keep the animal indefinitely without bring it to me or a shelter because they think it will just be euthanized, and neither myself, shelters, or the owner ever know that the pet has been found. If you put up posters, at least these good samaritans may see that the animal they found does indeed have a home.
Many people do not think of giving a photo of the pet to the local mailman. he is in the area every day and drives somewhat slowly between houses. he can be on the lookout for the pet. A neighbor did it and the mailman did see him and notify owner. happy ending.
I had a horrible experience with a pitbull I was taking care of. So many things went wrong that day... Springtime, winds, rain. The outcome was as bad as could be... hit and killed by car. The only "good" thing was that I found her (dead of course). I don't have much more to offer aside from what has been posted exept to say... be mindfull in Springtime... lot's of newborn wild animals, etc. KA
I see so many people in our neighborhood, almost always small dogs, that the owner takes them out unleashed! It is not only unsafe for their dogs but it is the law! What if their dog runs away or jumps in front of a car. I have a larger rescue dog that is not dog freindly and I dont know how many times I had to pull her away from an unleashed dog running after her. I tell them, whos fault would it be if my dog bit your dog? Yours is unleashed and they could also get seriously hurt in so many other ways. It is pure neglect, please leash your dogs, it could save their lives!!
Be particularly careful when you are moving: from now on I will make sure my cats stay in a room with the door closed when going back and forth from house to truck. Once one of my 2 Siamese disappeared as I was moving out, cats do get stressed when all their world gets upset. As she did not come back for a couple of days, I asked to keep my keys and "camped" in my empty old apartment every night, also made sure to leave a bunch of her things on the patio and water and food. I also brought her sibling with me. After a week or so, one night I finally heard her voice calling from a bush in from of the house, she was just very scared and would not let anyone catch her. After that she never stepped away father than a few feet from the house for her next 16 years and was generally much less kamikaze than her sister

Ryan Anderson is ideal but I can't see any trade that they move him for Pau. Paul Milsap is a great choice.
Just because Ryan Anderson can bomb 3s at an insane rate doesn't mean he's a high energy guy that fights for position on every play. His defense is no better than Pau's either. I'd still love to see him bombing 3s with this team though.
Healthy Anderson Varejao is a high energy guy who fights for position and has a pretty decent jump shot with underrated passing. The problem is that he can't stay healthy and Cleveland wants the world for him.
Disagree on 2 points.
1. Ryan Anderson can and IS playing better D than Pau. Sad but true. What Pau is doing out there can barely be called D. It's E.
2. Varejao while nice.....but we have a similar player in Hill. And much cheaper too.

Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) is a serious infection of the female reproductive organs. This includes the uterus, ovaries, and fallopian tubes. PID can cause scar tissue to form in the pelvis and fallopian tubes. This damage may result in

PID is caused by specific bacteria. The most common bacteria that initiate PID are
PID is more common in women aged 15-24 years. Other factors that may increase your chance of getting PID include:
Women with PID do not always have symptoms. However, if symptoms do occur, they may include:
Because symptoms are often subtle or nonexistent, PID can be difficult to diagnose. There are no specific tests for PID.
If PID is suspected, the doctor will ask about your symptoms, as well as your sexual history, partners, and birth control methods. A physical and pelvic exam will be done. The pelvic exam is key to making the diagnosis. Samples from the vagina or cervix may be taken to help diagnose the problem.
Tests may include:

The primary treatment for PID is antibiotics. Your doctor may prescribe more than one type of antibiotic to treat the problem. Finish the entire dose of each medication, even if your symptoms disappear during treatment.
You may be hospitalized if the diagnosis is uncertain, you do not improve, or your symptoms are severe. In the hospital, antibiotics can be given by IV. In certain situations, surgery may be required to remove infected or damaged tissue.

Wits ended UWC's Varsity Shield final hopes with a 28-15 win in Bellville on Monday.
UWC, who started the tournament on a promising note, had to acheive a bonus-point win to stand a chance of qualifying for their first tournament title decider. However, Wits killed off their hopes with a victory created by a strong first-half showing.
The students from Johannesburg led 23-5 at the break as they scored three tries via scrumhalf Brent Crossley, lock Charles Baggot and hooker Piers Cooper. UWC played better in the second stanza, but Baggot completed his brace early after half-time to seal the 13-point win.
In the other fixture, Fort Hare fought back from a 15-8 deficit to beat UKZN 16-15 in Pietermaritzburg.
UWC 15 (5) - Tries: Charlton van Jaarsveld, Godlen Masimla. Conversion: Charl van Vollenhoven. Penalty: Charl van Vollenhoven.
Wits 28 (23) - Tries: Brent Crossley, Charles Baggot (2), Piers Cooper. Conversions: Kyle Peyper. Penalty: Blake Dismore.
UKZN 15 (15) – Tries: Ngcebo Masikane, Yandisa Mdolomba. Conversion: Sipho Evans. Penalty: Evans.
Fort Hare 16 (8) - Tries: Lithabile Mgwadleka, Onke Dubase. Conversions: Masixola Banda (2).

Spatial Vision was awarded two silver awards at the recent International Map Trade Association (IMTA) Awards in Bangkok.
Recently published, the Blue Mountains Outdoor Recreation Guides won a silver award in the highly competitive sheet map category.
These maps have only been on the market several months and are already regarded as one of the best guides for the Blue Mountains region.
Spatial Vision's Blue Mountains Guides were the official map sponsors at the Blue Mountains Walking Festival this year and were described as an 'excellent map solution' and 'providing excellent direction and public safety' during the festival. Having won the IMTA award this year reinforces the quality of the guides and we thank the International Map Community for the recognition.
Spatial Vision is also pleased to announce that we received a silver award for the One Place Many Stories website under the Internet website category. One Place Many Stories was developed by Spatial Vision in partnership with the History Council of Victoria and Public Record Office Victoria for the Victorian Department of Education and Early Childhood Development.
With things like Facebook and iPhones playing a big part in the everyday life of youth today, children are used to technology and respond to dynamic learning much better than traditional methods.
One Place Many Stories is an innovative web 2.0 learning application which appeals to today's students and provides a relevant learning resource which is engaging and fun to use.
The website allows students to:
- Explore their local history by selecting and bringing together different digital sources on a map
- Overlay historic maps and plans onto current landscapes represented through Google maps
- Interpret historical sources and tell stories, communicate and collaborate
Students can explore a number of topics and disciplines, and the website is a great example of how Web 2.0, mapping and media technologies can be integrated to deliver a novel way of educating Victorian children and communities.

Can't find the IP address of my wireless access point - Help
by RVHAT - 1/23/13 2:55 PM
Okay, this is weird. I have a wireless access point. It works fine, broadcasts the SSID etc. Problem is I can't determine the IP address. I go into my router (the WAP has a wired connection to it) and look at all the devices connected to it and the WAP doesn't show.
I've methodically typed the IP address of every ethernet connected device and I can't get to the configuration screen.
This is so simple yet it's driving me crazy. Can anyone help?

And while both players are excited about joining Methodist, they had different reasons why they wanted to play for the Monarchs, who open the season Sept. 7 at
Methodist went 5-5 and 4-3 in the USA South Conference last year.
"They have a really good football program and it's not too far away from home," Stranz said. "It was coincidence (going to the same school as Padgett), but I think it's pretty awesome happening this way. It's like bringing a part of your high school family there. I get to play with him for another four years and see how we do together."
Padgett picked Methodist because it offered his major.
"My coaches helped me get here. The nursing program is good there and that's what I'm looking to do," Padgett said. "I'm excited to start my schooling and I'm excited because they got a real good football program."
Stranz said that he and Padgett won't be roommates but that they will remain close friends. Padgett thinks having a

Padgett said he will arrive at Methodist on July 14 to start a summer school session while Stranz said he will report to campus in early August.
Both players hope to make a contribution for the Monarchs.
"I figure if I go out and work as hard and I did, hopefully I get a chance," Padgett said. "It's wherever they put me in. I'm not picky."
Stranz, meanwhile, hopes to do what he did at

What is a Kegerator?
Simply put, the term Kegerator is a combination of the words "keg" and "refrigerator," and is used to describe a residential draft (draught) beer dispensing device. A keg, typically of beer, is stored in a refrigerated container in order to keep the keg chilled. The user is able to maintain a tapped keg in such a device for extended periods of time, usually a couple of months, without losing any quality in the taste of the beer. Kegerators come in a variety of styles and with a variety of accessories to personalize and enhance the unit to your needs. The most important aspect of a kegerator however, is that they allow beer enthusiasts the ability to enjoy their favorite draft beer the way the brewer intended - cold and fresh out of the tap!
Parts of a Kegerator
- CO2 tank
- Regulator
- Coupler
- Beer & Air Line
- Tap
- Tower
- Drip Tray
- Faucet
- Faucet Handle
One crucial part of a kegerator is a coupler. Beverage dispensing devices, such as the kegerator, have many standards for couplers:
- System D (US Sankey) - Standard for American beer
- System S (European Sankey) - Common for European beer
- System U - Used for stout and ale by a few breweries in UK/Ireland (Guinness)
- System G - Used by some breweries in UK/Ireland. (Also used in the US by Anchor Brewing).
- System A - Chiefly used by breweries in Germany.
- System M - Used by some German breweries (Schneider)
The D, S, U and G couplers are secured by twisting them in place (like a screw). The A-coupler is often referred to as a "slide coupler", because unlike the other couplers it slides in place and can be secured at any angle. (The M-coupler is also a slide coupler).

A Kegerator How-To
When you first consider buying or making a kegerator, it may seem baffling with all the new terms like D couplers and shanks, jumpers and regulators. All you really want to do is enjoy your favorite brew, not learn advanced calculus. Luckily for you, kegerators couldn't be simpler, and we're here to show you how. All you need to pour cold draft beer is something to keep the beer in, something to keep the beer cold, and something to get the beer out into your glass (or whatever you're using; we're not here to judge).
Storing Your Beer – Keg Sizes, Dimensions and Types
As you may well know, draft beer is almost always stored in a "keg" What you may not know are the different keg sizes and types out there. There are six major types of kegs in use: Half Barrel, Quarter Barrel, Slim Quarter Barrel, Sixth Barrel, Cornelius Keg and a Mini Keg.
The three most common types of kegs are:
- Half Barrel Keg: The largest size, this is what most people think of when they think of a keg. They are typically 23"tall and about 16"in diameter. They weigh about 160 lbs full so you'll need two people to carry one. They hold about 15 ½ gallons or about 165 twelve ounce glasses of beer.
- Quarter Barrel Keg: More commonly known as a "Pony"keg. As those of you good at fractions have already guessed, these are about half the size of a Half Barrel: about 12" to 13" tall and still around 16-17"wide and weigh about 87 lbs full, so again you may need assistance. They hold about 7 ¾'s gallons or 82 twelve ounce glasses of beer.
- Mini Keg: You've probably noticed these showing up more and more in your grocery store's beer aisle. The most common you'll find is Heineken, but other brands are available. They're quite portable at almost 10"tall and 6 ¾"in diameter, weighing in at a mere 13 lbs. They hold about 1 1/3 gallons or 13 twelve ounce glasses of beer.
Like bottled or canned beer, beer in kegs gets foamy if you shake it. It's best to let the keg sit for an hour or so before you tap it. Unlike bottled or canned beer, most draft beer is not pasteurized. So even though you have your favorite beer in a keg, you now need to worry about…
Cooling Your Beer – Refrigerators
Draft beer needs to be stored at 44 degrees or below or it will go bad and taste sour just like with milk. So just like milk, all you need to do is keep it refrigerated.
If you are going to convert an old refrigerator, make sure to measure before you start. Few things are worse than spending all day drilling holes and feeding line only to find the keg you've been dreaming of drinking all day won't fit.
Compact fridges can be great because of their size, but be careful to avoid ones with a freezer compartment or crisper drawers as your keg most likely won't fit. Also, if you want to build it in to your bar, make sure to look for an "undercounter"or "built-in"model. Most compact refrigerators vent heat out the back which would get trapped if built in to cabinetry, causing problems.
If you buy a ready-to-go kegerator, it will have a fridge made to accept a keg. The only thing to be mindful of there is some larger Half Barrel and Quarter Barrel kegs might not fit in certain kegerators. Again, if you're building it in, find out if it is an "undercounter" model or not.
A refrigerated keg should last about 45-60 days. Now that you've got your keg nice and cold, it's time for the good part...
Pouring Your Beer – Keg Equipment
To get the beer out of the keg you need pressure. The simplest way to do so is with a hand pump, but, as you may or may not remember, it's more work than you'd really like and maddeningly inconsistent. Also it allows in air and bacteria, meaning the keg will not keep as long. A kegerator most commonly uses tanks of pressurized CO2 to push the beer out of the keg, through a tube and out of the faucet. To do so, it uses the following parts:
- CO2 Tank: This houses the pressurized CO2 used to push the beer out of the keg. Most kegerators come with a 5 lb tank, which will last for about 5-7 Half Kegs. Most gas dealers, welding supply companies and fire extinguisher companies can refill your tank with CO2, but we recommend you call ahead.
Please Note: Certain brands (like Guinness) require pressurized nitrogen as well. These require slightly different tanks. Contact your local gas dealer for availability.
- Single Gauge Regulator: This connects to the CO2 tanks and steps down the pressure to a level proper for serving beer. The Gauge will reflect the amount of pressure, measured in PSI or Pounds per Square Inch. You can manually regulate the pressure using this tool. Setting the pressure too high will eventually result in foamy beer and setting it too low will lead to flat beer. We recommend around 6-12 PSI on most brews, but it varies according to brand and personal preference.
- Dual Gauge Regulator: Works the same as a Single Gauge but also shows the amount of gas left in the tank(s) as well as the PSI.
- Air Line Jumper: Tubing that connects the regulator to the keg coupler, carrying the CO2 to the keg.
- Keg Coupler: The part that attaches and taps the keg allowing gas in one side and beer out the other. There are six major types of couplers which vary by brand. Most domestics take a D coupler. If you are unsure of the right coupler for your application, consult the company you purchased your keg from.
- Beer Line Jumper: Food-grade tubing that attaches to the coupler and runs to the shank or the faucet. Beer lines should be refrigerated for an optimal pour. Keeping your beer lines clean will help prevent bad tasting and foamy beer. We recommend you clean the beer line once after every Half Barrel.
- Shank: A long steel tube found in refrigerator conversion kits, connecting the beer line to the faucet. These are built into draft beer towers found in most kegerators.
- Faucet: Where the delicious beer comes out. We recommend cleaning the faucet when you clean the lines.
- Faucet Handle: Usually known as a tap handle, which you pull to make the magic happen. You can easily replace the handle with one of your choosing.
- Be aware while the overwhelming majority of handles take a standard thread, there are a handful that are metric.

We could not be more excited to announce and congratulate the contestants of the 2013 ASPCA Rachael Ray $100K Challenge! From coast to coast, all 50 animal shelters are sure to engage in a friendly, fierce and exciting competition to save the most animals' lives over the course of the Challenge. The shelters will compete to win prizes in the form of ASPCA grant funding, ranging from $5,000 to a grand prize of $100,000 for the Challenge's top performing shelter.
The bar for these contestants has been set high: The 2012 Challenge contestants saved a collective total of 56,232 animals during the three-month competition.
Stay tuned for continuing coverage of this year's Challenge. The participating shelters will host Challenge Kickoff Weekend events June 1-2. We know they'll be hard at work preparing between now and then!
For a complete list of the 2013 contestants, please visit our Challenge site.
Has this dog been adopted and if not where is he or she and is he or she adoptable??
Please let me know!!!
Why is there not 1 Shelter in this challenge from New York? Makes absolutely no sense. These People work hard and take in hundreds of thousands of animals - it is disgraceful that not one rescue organization has been included from NYC or even NY State
I think this is a BAD IDEA! People have only just gotten used to screening potential adopters to make sure animals are going to safe homes. With this contest, someone will cut corners to make the necessary adoptions, and some pet will end up in a worse situation, instead of a better one.
Wow that is one talented pup and an abused animal can win!
I think that it is a good thing that they are doing because people will feel absolutely tempted to buy.
WHO picks these contestants??? They certainly didn't do their homework--at least the one from my state! OMG!!!
Unfortunately I can't donate at this time. I always cry when I see your commercials. I adopted a terrier mix from Laredo, TX and loving him more every day. His name is Scruffy.

Sad to say but this contest is a horrible idea. Shelters are adopting dogs out to anyone who comes in the door with no screening. Adoption rates are dropping to raise the adoption numbers but they are doing it by ceasing a lot of wellness testing such as heart worms, lyme disease etc. They are also transferring highly adoptable dogs in from other areas while the tougher cases are overlooked and languish in the shelters. Everything about this contest is wrong. I know they meant well but.....

The hardware for 5 benches is at Binks shop now getting welded. When they are done, we will need some help digging holes and mixing concrete to set them in the ground, and then we will attach the wood stringers to complete them.

Frontend library for Smuxi
Smuxi is an irssi-inspired, flexible, user-friendly and cross-platform IRC client for sophisticated users, targeting the GNOME desktop.
Smuxi is based on the client-server model: The core application (engine) can be placed onto a server which is connected to the Internet around-the-clock; one or more frontends then connect to the core. This way, the connection to IRC can be kept up even when all frontends have been closed. The combination of screen and irssi served as example for this architecture.
Smuxi also supports the regular single application mode. This behaves like a typical IRC client; it doesn't need separate core management and utilizes a local engine that is used by the local frontend client.
This package contains the base library for all Smuxi frontends.
