TELL CITY - The Budweiser Clydesdales will visit Tell City Friday, providing a thrilling start to this year's 51st Schweizer Fest.
The famous horses and the early 1900s beer wagon they pull will arrive in City Hall Park around 11 a.m. and will travel the streets around the park from noon to 2 p.m.
The visit is sponsored by Schweizer Fest Inc. and Hedinger Beverage Co. of Jasper. Entertainment is also planned for the afternoon and refreshments will be available in the park.
PERRY COUNTY - With construction nearing completion on two homes located on Eleventh Street in Tell City, Perry County's Habitat for Humanity group is launching plans for three new homes to be constructed starting in 2010.
TELL CITY - Families of Tell City High School Marching Marksmen members are invited to the 13th annual kick-off party Friday from 5 to 10 p.m. Friday at Mulzer Camp.
Activities will include games, food, introduction of the new band season and an annual tug-of-war contest. Each junior and senior member should take a hot covered dish. Sophomores will provide cold covered dishes, freshmen are to take dessert and eighth-graders are to furnish chips.
Additionally, each family is asked to bring a two-liter drink. Hamburgers and hotdogs will be provided.
We urge the residents of the Tell City-Troy Township school district to get behind the second launch of efforts to make major improvements at the city's high school.
A 2004 stopover at a German family's farm inspired an idea that now has my neighbors talking.
Three years ago, while doing my best to stay on Bavaria's small roads instead of the high-speed superhighways, I pulled my rental car into a gift shop near Lichtenfels in upper Bavaria.
A large half-timbered home there had been transformed into a small lodge and gift shop while the rest of the farm's buildings, including a dairy, small brewery and livestock barns had kept much of their traditional look and use.
As we approach the 2009 Schweizer Fest, many of us start planning to meet up with friends, host members of our family or welcome others from out of town who come back to celebrate our town's heritage.
We plan to attend the fair, see the talent show, and for those of age, visit the brau garten.
TELL CITY – The nation is in a difficult economic climate, but for anyone who wants or needs to buy a home or car, the conditions are favorable, Joan Hess said during a 1028 hearing Tuesday for construction proposed at Tell City High School. "If you need to fix your school, now is the time to do it," she added.
TELL CITY – Teresa Kanneberg was the Perry County commissioners' choice for a new county administrator, Commissioner Gary Dauby said Wednesday.
"I'm eager to get started and look forward to working for and with the commissioners," Kanneberg said Wednesday, adding that she feels her computer, communications and many other skills will benefit the county.

Re: debian nvidia driver installation freezes after reboot after reporting 'success'
please anyone? iv'e really run out of ideas. i disabbled the agp, is there nothing else that causes these symptoms? black frozen screen of ascii garbage that is. the card works wonders on a win2000 system on the same machine with 3 monitors, dual agp with one pci. i need to get this setup up and running with linux before i can really port my work to it. i would prefer to be a linux developer, but i can't get my card to work. i've tried on many occasions to port my work to linux, but the situation has never been a viable one. this time i am determined, but after another month of this i'm afraid i might be slightly wavered. -michael

"This invite is super sweet for a little girl. The colors are right on and the fact you can put pictures on the back are great. The paper quality on the normal paper is excellent, nice and thick. I got the scalloped edges which give it such a dainty look. I absolutely love it."
"Very Cute and Very Nice. Bought this as a sample for bday invite consideration. This was my top choice when received - Love the color, we got this with the pearlized/shimmer finish, which is especially nice with this design but is not necessary. The shimmer finish is front and back, if wondering. The design on the back is also nice and light enough to be written on in dark ink, if you are wanting to add your own message to the back for whatever reason. Overall, I love it. Ultimately, the bday girl (age 7 - going on 8) chose a different invite design."
"Almost every person who has received the card has specifically told me how amazing they think it is. Many said it was the best invitation they've received. I choose not to use a photo and instead included the text "This message will self destruct in 3, 2, 1..." in that space. This card definitely has set the tone for a super spy party."
"I ordered these with the opal shine, which adds a nice touch worth the tiny extra. I received lots of compliments from other moms on how cute the invite was! Went perfect from my daughters pool party under the sea theme! I know Tiny Prints is part of shutterfly now but tiny prints quality is definitely a step above shutterfly"
"The paper is high quality, the printing is perfect. All I can say is thank you for making my invitations perfect for my party. I am more pleased than I can even express."

Scottish ballet faces feuds. (News).
North's travails were due to a mix-up in the company's paperwork. The American-born director, who was hired by the Scottish Ballet two years ago, had apparently been working under a "leave-to-stay" order rather than the necessary work permit. As the deadline for deportation approached and headline banners hit the newsstands, North's cause was taken up by the Scottish Parliament, who demanded that the arts minister, Allan Wilson, put pressure on the Home Office in London to renege on the order. In the nick of time, these efforts, together with legal submissions from the company, proved successful. Not only was North saved from packing his bags but, more important, he escaped the possibility of being ineligible to ever work in Europe again.
"It's been an absolutely horrible experience for him and for his wife," a spokesman from the company told Dance Magazine. "But everything has been completely resolved. Robert has his work permit and has started back at work." A new season and a saved director, maybe, but the company's troubles don't end there.
The company's classical ballet roots are to be pulled up in favor of contemporary dance. North, whose contract is due to end in 2002, said the decision, made without his involvement, was "a stitch-up, unethical, and possibly illegal." The dancers expressed dismay and concern about their futures, and outsiders have called the decision "misguided." Many others fear that this means Scotland will not have a national dance company anytime soon. The SB spokesman told Dance Magazine that the company was planning to act as both presenter and producer--presenting its own contemporary works while also bringing other outside companies to perform the pure classics.
Scottish Ballet has never trod an easy path. It was founded in 1969 when Peter Darrell transferred his Bristol-based Western Theatre Ballet to Glasgow. But Scottish funders found the repertoire too controversial--they wanted pure classics. Darrell obliged, but he added his own touches of realism to them--Swan Lake, for example, became a drug-induced reverie.
The company constantly struggled with lack of funding but enjoyed enough success to attract guest stars such as Margot Fonteyn and Rudolf Nureyev. Darrell hoped to tour throughout Scotland and produce new works, but his vision was shattered when funding could not keep pace. Darrell died suddenly in 1987 without realizing his dreams.
The search for a new director was far from easy. Dance icons like ballet's punkrebel Michael Clark, America's Gelsey Kirkland, and Mark Morris were rumored to have shown interest. Nanette Glushak from NYCB, Galina Samsova, and Scottish Ballet dancer Kenn Burke took the reins at different periods. Then in 1999, the board appointed North.
North danced with London Contemporary Dance Theatre and Martha Graham and is a prolific choreographer--his most famous international work is Troy Games. At Scottish Ballet, he was hailed as being the savior of the thirty-six strong company. However, more recently he has been accused of mediocrity, and his contract has not been renewed. Scottish Ballet desperately needs a new leader--not necessarily the bare-kneed, kilted kind but one who will restore trust and loyalty in its dancers, its board, its sponsors, and especially its audiences, who will now have to change their traditional views of dance.

That should be easier on the pipes that carry the raw water, since the oxidized metals won't collect there anymore.
The extra chlorine is removed from the water during the rest of the production process, and chlorine levels in water coming out of both treatment plants are the same, said town officials. In fact, despite differences in chemicals and treatment processes at the two plants, the end result is chemically just about identical.
"It's a different chemistry that does the same thing in the end," DPW Deputy Commissioner Erik Deyoe said. "We've got no data that indicates we've got any water quality issues with this facility [Clapper Road]."
By opening up Clapper Road's output to more of the town, the replacement of the New Salem plant could be put off for years, even with new federal quality regulations going into effect in 2012. Wedding the two systems would be technical breeze. The valves and pipes to do so are already in place, and it would take a DPW employee about 25 minutes to make the change.
Uniting the systems would make it easier for the town to deal with summer usage peaks, as Clapper Road can respond more speedily to these demands.
Despite these apparent advantages, unifying the town's water system and building a new water treatment plant have similar long-term cost impacts. Clapper Road is more costly to operate, so much so that the cost over time of opening the floodgates there would approach the burden of financing a new plant.
Water users, however, would not be dealt an immediate blow in their bills associated with building a new plant, and the town would be able to wait until a more fiscally stable period to make the upgrade. In a time of budget cutbacks and dwindling reserves, bonding roughly $18 million next year is bound to be a scenario leaders wish to avoid.
The Department of Public Works will give a presentation on alternatives to upgrade the town's water supply at a Town Board meeting Wednesday, Sept. 22, at 6 p.m. at Town Hall. There will be the opportunity for public comment at that meeting. Also that evening, Supervisor Sam Messina will present his preliminary budget for 2011, in which the issue of water supply is to play an important role.""

he keep fighting tomatoe cans easy fights .
Agree, but isn't that boxing? 30 cans, pad your record with a couple aging legends before being handed the golden PPV's.
Boxing needs to bring in some type of hype monster like Kimbo I guess. Did you guys see the Mayweather fight or the Bernard Hopkins fight last Saturday? Those show that boxing can't even put together a decent main event for fans. Cheap shot ending or guys faking injury hoping to win by disqualification. It's like a WWE script.

I'm having some problems with Windows backup so I'm looking for alternatives.
Ideally I want to backup my entire C, D and E drives (total of around 1.5TB) onto my F drive (3TB) along with a virtual machine snapshot of my C drive so I can completely restore everything if necessary.
I'm currently using synctoy which works fine for the full backups, but won't create a virtual machine file, and it also won't run automatically on a schedule.
My girlfriend has Time Machine on her Mac too which looks perfect, so something similar to that would be great too. Thanks
(btw, I already have a paid version of Syncback SE which I'm not a fan of, so I'm cautious about buying any other pieces of software... that's why I'd prefer free)

Imagine taking care of 15 patients a day. And you've never met them before. And coordinating care among three shifts of nurses, labs and specialists. That is the plight of the hospitalist.
HealthIT 1.0 has failed them. Patient histories from multiple sites of care? Disparate PAC systems, care coordination? Medication reconciliation? There are bits and pieces but no system does it all.
Instead the 1.0 vendors try to bolt on new functionality to very old legacy systems. Epic is based on MUMPS that was developed in 1967. And they are the leaders.
The next generation 2.0 vendors will disrupt the establishment by focusing exclusively on the physician / care providers and the patient. And we're seeing examples of this from outfits like Doximity, Practice Fusion, Hello Health and Image32.
It will get better.

A friend of mine asked me this week about how I started out as a developer. Did I go to school for it?
The short answer is no. I taught myself initially because it helped me do my job better. In the early 80's I worked at US Gypsum building plants. Curing drywall takes a lot of energy and some plants were coal fired. Depending on where the coal was mined it had different BTU's, sulfur pollution and cost.
We had to calculate how many tons of coals from which sources to meet minimum BTU, maximum sulfur and at the least cost. This was an optimization model with 18 variables. A lot of paper, calculus and a slide rule.
Then came the TRS-80 Radio Shack computer. We could write a program in Basic that would do all the calculations in 2 seconds. Around the same time the NASA project manager for Skylab
came to work
for us and taught me how to do project management using a computer. I was hooked and went back to school for an MBA with a focus on computer systems.
Since then I've always believed that whatever you wanted to do, you could figure out a way to make it easier with software. I have not been disappointed.

Twice this year I've talked to two companies who have the same challenge: After a decade of getting to $20-$50M in sales , senior management has been tasked by the board to "GET BIG NOW".
I have noticed the same strategy by both companies:
After a decade in business they both have a lot of creaky Microsoft based legacy software and a decent sized installed base. In reality, they have two paths to growth:
Acquisition may get you through the first couple of years, but you need to be planning for the long view after that. Once you own 60% of the market, then what?
Even if you do that you eventually end up at option 2: Leverage your knowledge and customer base. Doc Searls called it "the because effect":
The because effect is a kind of jujitsu. While other people look to make money with something, you're finding ways of making money because of something.
The because effect is a kind of jujitsu. While other people look to make money with something, you're finding ways of making money because of something.
Kathy Sierra has this great video: "Building the minimum Badass User". While you may be a fan of techniques such as Pragmatic Marketing, that only improves what you are already doing. By focusing on how to make users be really great at their jobs will give you new ways to refocus your products and services to new uses.

Meaningful use stage II is requiring a certain percentage of patients to be able to view their patient health information. At HIMSS in New Orleans there was a lot of conversation about this. And many vendors talking about their solutions. InteliChart is a good example of these portals. What happens if a patient goes to different doctors? Different portals. And most of the security is username + password. Not much 2-factor authentication in place.
Then layer in the requirements for the Health Information Exchanges. Each patient needs to be perfectly matched to every EMR where their records reside. Name + date of birth does not work so well if you are John Smith or Maria Garcia. And who has access to these records? And how does the patient know? Again, many vendors have their unique solutions requiring everyone to sign up for their particular system.
These systems are being built bass-ackwards. Here's a novel concept: Have the patients in control of their own identities and they decide when and where other people (or their surrogate like their primary care physician) can access their information. And the patient knows everytime who accessed what information and for what purpose.
Universal identity cards will work as well as a social security number. They won't. Instead, patient supply their own credentials and each entity verifies if they indeed trust that that patient is who they say they are. Can this be done programmaticly? Yes and it's not that hard.
Look at project VRM:http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/vrm/2013/03/09/the-vrm-perspective/http://cyber.law.harvard.edu/research/projectvrm
Create a personal private cloud for each patient. Then create an oAuth service that each provider entity and HIE can connect. The trick here is that all authentication and access flows through the individual patient's personal cloud. Use a certificate authority to create irrefutable credentials and use for 2 factor authentication (added bonus - public /private key encryption)
Time to build it.

A pdf just doesn't cut it in today's websites. Try looking at them on your smartphone. But how do you handle those slide decks? I've seen plugins etc. but that was just too much work. Turns out Keynote on Mac has an export to HTML (and it does a good job of importing those PowerPoint slides). After you export it, you get all the files and JavaScript all in tidy folders. Just FTP them to a folder on your website and you are ready to go.
I especially like the part where it detects if you are running an iPad or iPhone. It then enables finger swipes. A side benefit is you are forced to simplify the content of your presentation so you can view it on a smart phone.

Just before Thanksgiving I was floored by sciatica. I started taking a lot of ibuprofen to reduce the inflammation. By Friday I was able to get off the floor and go see the doctor who prescribed prednisone to further calm the inflammation. No x-rays.
A lot of my friends suggested I get an x-ray and MRI study. Very expensive and since there is only a low 30% success rate for surgery, that would be a waste of time and money. The following week I got a script for physical therapy. So I went to "Wasatch Physical Therapy at Kimball Junction" (what a name...) on my crutches.
One big advantage of living in Utah is we have the best orthopedic practices in the country. With all the outdoor sports here, that is a focus. It's not "let's relieve the pain" it's "Let's get you back on the mountain." Which is why Tiger Woods came here for knee surgery.
Brandon immediately did an assessment and determined it was a bulging disk on the L4. He put me on a treatment plan for 3 times a week. Based on my condition he prescribed various exercises. Dani took over after a couple of weeks.
The hour routine started off with heat and electrical stimulation while laying on a roller bed. Then Lexi or Brittany would use localized ultrasound on my back. Then a lower back massage.
Early on Brittany was able to pinpoint the exact location of bulging disk through localized pressure. After the massage Dani would work with me for the rest of the hour on spinal manipulation and
After the session they would instruct me as to the different excercises I needed to do during the week based on my prognosis. In 8 weeks I went from pain and crutches to powder skiing and no pain.
So dump the MRI and get yourself to Physical Therapy. Only if you don't respond to their treatment will they send you back to the doctor for x-rays or an MRI.
Eight weeks of PT was far cheaper then 1 MRI. And wouldn't you rather be better or just have some pictures?

Just got a notice from Comcast that they are dropping all analog signals. I'm not surprised. There is only so much bandwidth and I suspect Comcast is increasing their 3D line up. So goodbye analog.
If you have an old(er) TV like a CRT you will no longer be able to plug the coax into the back. You will need their box. Being generous, you can hook up 3 for free. Then it's $2 per set.
Some of you may have the "occasional" TV in the garage or the guest bedroom. What to do? If it's a newer TV you can still get the normal network HD channels (I checked with Comcast). Or perhaps this is a good time to head over to your local big box store and pick up a convertor over the air box for about $50. Just plug in an antenna (remember those?) and you can get all of the network stations for free.
This may be a good time to evaluate what you are paying. Maybe all you need is high speed Internet and the basic channels (comes with HD). Then used the money saved for Hulu or another service.

While working with a new startup, it is easy to get lost in the weeds. The first major milestone is cash flow break-even. This is when income meets expenses. It's math, when (number of customers x contribution margin) = expenses.
I have figured out the four essential R's:
Metrics are key. You have assumptions, how do you test and monitor them? And remember that whenever you think you have the right answers, be prepared to change because everything changes.

Yesterday our plane broke and since I would miss my connection they kindly rebooked me on a flight this morning. It was a very long night and I missed the flight. 30 minutes later I tried to rebook with an agent (still can't figure out the new website). We spent an hour on the phone trying to figure out how to do it.
Turns out someone reprinted my boarding pass and used it to board the flight. As me. Since according to the system I was on the plane, it wouldn't let me rebook the flight. Sounds like an episode of Homeland.

And we have highly trained staff on hand to help you with your project, whether it be something for your home or a brand new product you want to prototype.
Since opening our doors in March 2010, over 11,000 individuals have visited Fab Lab Manchester to create new products and prototypes ranging from musical instruments and furniture, to jewellery and artwork. Our Fab Lab Manchester community has now grown to around 1,800 registered users, who regularly use our facilities to build their knowledge and skills, and to design and create products and prototypes with the help of our friendly volunteers and highly trained staff.
If you have the idea, then we have the means to make it happen…
I wanted a neat way to store and charge my laptop and the kids' tablets. I had some oak lying around, and wanted an excuse to try out the ShopBot...
I always struggled to find something in my purse in dark places, so I usually ask someone to turn the tourch on with their mobile phone and point it inside my bag, so I could find the thing I was looking for!
Invitations can cost upwards of £3 each which is a little to much out of our wedding budget so we decided to have a go at making them ourselves!
My 12 year old son had outgrown his small desk and needed more space for his computer and homework. So we decided to use it as an excuse for a joint project to test our Fab Lab skills and use the ShopBot to make a new L-shaped desk designed to fit the bay window in his room.
Fab Lab Manchester has a range of state of the art digital manufacturing equipment including 3D printers, precision laser cutters and moulding and milling equipment through to electronic components, circuit boards, soldering irons and glue guns.
Our equipment can be booked (for free!) every Friday and Saturday, all we ask is that you pay for your own materials and share your makes via our project section.
Before using our equipment you will need to complete a health and safety induction, which take place at 10.30am and 12.30pm every Friday and Saturday. You do not need to book, simply aim to be here on time and we can take it from there.
You can also hire our equipment, or even the whole lab, Tuesday to Thursday. Just speak to a member of the Fab Lab team about our rates.

Machine time can only be booked once you have completed a health and safety induction
You can either click on the "Add a Project" button on the homepage or you can upload from the My Fab Lab Page.
At Fab Lab we run Open Days every Friday and Saturday. This basically means you can come in and use the lab… for free! We'll give you access to all of our equipment including our range of 3D printers (we have a few!)
All we ask is that you register as a user prior to coming to the lab – you can do this by clicking the register button at top of the page – and attend a Safety Induction.
We run Safety Inductions daily at 10.30am and 12.30pm – there's no need to book just turn up and we'll do the rest. Everyone is welcome but if you're under 16 you need to be supervised by an adult. We look forward to seeing you soon!
Fab Labs are a global network, enabling invention by providing open access for individuals to manufacturing equipment and digital fabrication facilities.
Everyone using Fab Lab, regardless of age, ability or what you are making, must abide by our charter:
You can use the Fab Lab to make almost anything. The Fab Lab's highly-trained staff are on hand to offer support and guidance but the emphasis is on you to learn how to make things yourself. You must also share use of the Lab with other users.
You are responsible for:
Safety: knowing how to work without hurting people or damaging machines
Cleaning up: leaving the Lab cleaner than you found it
Operations: assisting with maintaining, repairing, and reporting on tools, supplies, and any incidents
Training in the Fab Lab is based on doing projects and learning from peers. Unless you are a commercial user, you are expected to share your ideas and to document your Fab Lab experience by uploading your project to our Project Forum.
Designs and processes developed in the Fab Lab must remain available for individual use, although intellectual property can be protected however you choose.
Commercial activities can be incubated in Fab Labs however they must not conflict with open access and should grow beyond, rather than within, the Lab. They are expected to benefit the inventors, Labs and networks that contribute to their success.
Inductions take place on both Fridays and Saturdays at 10:30am and 12:30pm. There is no need to book just aim to be here on time or you might miss it.
The aim of Fab Lab is to have open access for all, therefore we use freeware software to create files in the lab. Anyone can download and learn to use these programs at home for free. For 2D Design we use Inkscape and for 3D design Google Sketch-Up.You can also use your own preferred software as long as files are saved in the correct format.
2D Design files = PDF/DXF (with vector data not picture data, e.g. illustrator file not photoshop)
3D Design files = STL
We stock a small amount of acrylic, MDF and plywood in various sizes and thickness, all of which can be purchased in the lab on the day. Please note that stock levels do vary and you should call ahead to check we have the material in stock if your job depends on it. You are also more than welcome to bring your own material with you as long it is machinable.
e.g Only laserable MDF can be used on the laser cutter, normal MDF will not cut correctly.
Yes we can, but it is not a free service*.
At Fab Lab we offer a professional prototyping service during the week (Tuesday-Thursday). We have a small skilled team with qualifications and experience in mechanical engineering, product design and electronics. We use our own in house digital fabrication machines to tackle a wide variety of projects. If you are interested in making a commercial prototype at Fab Lab please use the contact us form to arrange a meeting.
* Please be aware although Fab Lab is a non-profit project, prototyping services and machine hire are revenue making in order to enable us to run our free public open days every week.
There are two main differences to be aware of when using the lab on an open day:
Firstly, everything made in the lab must be written up and posted in the project area of our website.

Quick Clot does not work by using the normal clotting structures in the blood, but by pulling moisture out of the blood, basically causing a drying of the blood. That may help the platellets to work, or maybe not, but it will dessicate the blood.
A lot of the women out there will be familiar with the same product used in beauty salons for manicures. It is used in fine quantities to stop cuticle bleeding and works very well.

Sidecar modifications
A quick review what kind of modifications we did on the sidecar. The main reason for the whole action was that we could not open the lid of the alu-case when it was standing in its normal position.
Too careful handling of the boxes lead to this slight mis-adjustment
Well, no big deal as such. Two case holders needed to be moved a few cm backwards and that was it. The bigger job was to repaint the whole frame, especially since it had an additional wax protection inside the metal pipes. Since this paint job was necessary, there was a chance to do other welding jobs at the same time. I did not like the idea that one important screw (holding the sidecar wheel) was standing out a little on the bottom side. This is where I expect to hit rocks and other bumps when riding with a tilt (i.e. one wheel is in the car lane and the other is off of the other lane). At the same time, we re-routed the wires and the cable for the suspension adjustment, so that they are not any longer below the frame.
Screw and wires are coming out from the bottom of the frame
No more sticking screws coming out on the bottom
Peter also made a plate which protects the other important screw of the sidecar wheel.
I also got my winch installed :)
WARN XT17 Winch installed on the sidecar
And we did a just-in-case carrier plate, maybe to hold a water barrel or something like it.
Additional holding plate for XYZ stuff
Several few minor modifications, the painting job and getting everything together again took its time. In parallel to those things, I did a few modifications and installations now, since Peter has all sorts of tools and I was running out of time at home.
Now all is done and I sleep better ;)

It may beg back to a questuion to which JulieMor asked in the beginnning, why does this Bounty evoke so much response?
I think the reason the Bounty brings so much response is the fact the Capt apparently knew a very large storm system was headed his way. A storm system that most seamen/women knew would be difficult if not impossible (and at the least extremely dangerous) to out manuver. In light of all these facts, the Capt set sail. When people (including experienced tall ship and Commercial ship Captains, pleasure boaters, and the general public) heard the Coast Guard was attempting to rescue a historic tall ship in distress (and near the eye of hurricane Sandy), the responose from most of these people was what the hell is this ship doing in that location. Once people found out more information about the appearant poor condition of the ship Bounty, more questions were raised as to what this ship is doing in that location.
Remember, the Coast Guard said the rescue was one of the most difficult that they had ever performed. The rescued risked their lives and cost the US tax payer money. We deserve some answers and have the right to speak our minds as allowed by our Constitution (as long as we do not slander).

Osprey Packs Viper 7 Water Carrier
|(2 Reviews)
Product DescriptionThe versatile Osprey Viper 7 hydration pack is for the rider who wants a minimal, lightweight design without sacrificing any benefits. Intuitive design holds everything you need and keeps it all handy for when you need it.

Date Reviewed: November 27, 2012
Strengths: Comfortable. Quality construction (the pack, not the bladder). Nice looks.
Weaknesses: Bite valve started leaking after two months of light use.
Bottom Line:
Disappointingly the bite valve started dripping. This is an absolute deal breaker. Because the pack is designed for use with the magnetic bite valve I'm effectively forced to replace the valve with the same inferior design. I don't want to be riding in the cold with a wet leg or in the heat with an empty bladder. A real shame because I liked this pack otherwise.

Date Reviewed: August 19, 2012
Strengths: Great pack. Magnetic bite valve is wonderful - no more hose bouncing around. Just the right amount of pack space for a 2 hour ride. Bladder comes out easily.
Weaknesses: None beyond getting used to using the magnetic bite valve system.

Online series 'House of Cards' makes Emmy history
"Special thanks to Kate Mara for getting me out of the house before my kids start screaming and crying," Harris said.
An in-demand emcee, the "How I Met Your Mother" star earned a bid for hosting Broadway's Tony Awards.
Joining Spacey in the contest for best drama series actor are Hugh Bonneville of "Downton Abbey"; Jon Hamm of "Mad Men"; Jeff Daniels of "The Newsroom" and Damian Lewis of "Homeland," last year's winner.
Kevin Bacon, one of the big-screen stars trying their hand at TV, was not recognized in the category for "The Following."
"Breaking Bad," now in its final episodes on AMC, goes out with a best drama Emmy nomination. "What's so great about this thing is it's going to bring us all back together. A little family reunion. So we get to come back together and celebrate the time we had together and the work that we did. It's very exciting," said Paul.
Actresses nominated for their drama series work besides Wright include Vera Farmiga of "Bates Hotel"; Michelle Dockery of "Downtown Abbey;" Elisabeth Moss of "Mad Men"; Connie Britton of "Nashville" and Kerry Washington of "Scandal." Claire Danes, last year's winner for "Homeland," got a nod.
Besides Bateman, the nominees for best actor in a comedy are Jim Parsons for "The Big Bang Theory": Matt LeBlanc for "Episodes"; Don Cheadle for "House of Lies"; Louis C.K. for "Louie" and Alec Baldwin for "30 Rock."
Jon Cryer, last year's surprise winner for "Two and a Half Men," didn't make the cut this year.
Actresses competing for top comedy acting honors are Laura Dern for "Enlightened"; Lena Dunham for "Girls"; Edie Falco for "Nurse Jackie"; Amy Poehler for "Parks and Recreation" and Julia Louis-Dreyfus, who claimed the trophy last year for "Veep."
Most of the 2012 trophy holders have a chance to repeat.
Maggie Smith was nominated again as best supporting actress in a drama for "Downton Abbey," which has brought her two trophies. Julie Bowen is up for supporting actress in a comedy for "Modern Family."
However, Eric Stonestreet, who claimed the supporting actor award last year for the show, was snubbed while castmates Jesse Tyler Ferguson, Ed O'Neill and Ty Burrell got nods.
ABC got 45, NBC has 53,
The Academy of Television Arts & Sciences' Emmy ceremony will air Sept. 22 on CBS.
AP Entertainment Writers Sandy Cohen and Anthony McCartney contributed to this report.

|7 days a week, dawn until dusk
|Open all year
Hastings Country Park was formed in 1974 and covers 660 acres (2.7 km2) east of Hastings in England. Sandstone cliffs, glens covered with gorse and trees, footpaths, nature trails, picnic areas and ample car parking are some of the features at the country park. Set in the High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, most of the park has been designated a Special Area of Conservation. It is a Site of Special Scientific Interest called Hastings Cliffs to Pett Beach[1][2][3] and a Local Nature Reserve as Hastings Country Park & Fairlight Place Farm.[4][5]
The park supported considerable human activity in prehistoric times. Archaeological finds and landmarks date from Palaeolithic, Mesolithic, Neolithic, Bronze Age, Iron Age, Romano-British, Saxon, Medieval, post-Medieval, Victorian to World War II periods.
A large majority of the park has been identified as an Area of Archaeological Interest, within which, a large area of the East Hill is a designated Ancient Monument.
Many rare and scarce liverworts, mosses and lichens occur within the ghylls or ravines. Peregrines, black redstarts and fulmars breed on the cliffs. Dartford warblers, stonechats and yellowhammers breed on the gorse-covered hillsides. Many migrants pass through the site in spring and autumn and usually includes a few rarities such as Sardinian warbler, red-rumped swallow, and Pallas's leaf warbler, which have all occurred in recent years.

text: The Elemental, My Dear Aquaman wiki last edited by comicfan11 on 01/23/15 04:16PM View full history Aquaman becomes trapped between two warring elemental entities: Corona, the new fire elemental, and the water elemental Naiad.The issue kicks off with Corona now set on killing all of the Deep Six for their destruction of her village, and then her deciding to destroy the village herself following her destruction of the Six. While Dolphin, Aquaman, and Koryak continue to battle the remaining members of the Six in the cave. Aqualad is still captured, as Letfios begs for his life from the flesh eating water, trying to free himself as the water descends on him. The terrified Six then beg Aquaman to save them from Corona in exchange for their leaving of Earth and never returning.
