Friday, July 10
Depart USA for arrival in Dublin early the following morning.
Saturday, July 11
Early morning arrival in Dublin. You will be met at Dublin airport by Dr. Stephen Robinson, Director of Champlain College Dublin and tour leader, and transported to your hotel in central Dublin. You can choose to rest and get over your jetlag for a while before meeting the group for a tour of Trinity College and view the Book of Kells. If there is something you'd rather do in Dublin than Trinity College we can provide advice. The entire group will meet for dinner. Meals include: Breakfast, dinner
Sunday, July 12
After a full breakfast in the hotel, the group will meet for a walking tour of Historic Dublin with celebrated local guide, Pat Liddy. We will then walk to the Champlain Abroad Dublin Academic Centre for lunch and a lecture on Irish culture from one of our faculty members. We'll board an afternoon ferry with our tour coach for the sailing to Holyhead in Wales. Overnight stop will be on Anglesey, Wales. Meals include: Breakfast, lunch, dinner
Monday, July 13
We will start the day off with a morning tour of Caernarfon Castle in Caernarfon, one of the most historic towns in Wales. The castle is one of the most picturesque in all of the United Kingdom. Following lunch in Caernarfon we'll board the coach for the drive to Chester, in England. Chester was founded by the Romans in AD 79 but is mostly known for medieval architecture and for being one of England's finest examples of a walled city. We'll have a walking tour of Chester and stay in the town overnight. Meals include: Breakfast, lunch, dinner
Tuesday, July 14
Leaving Chester we'll skirt to the south of the industrial city of Manchester and head into the Derbyshire Dales, where we'll stop for a tour of Chatsworth House, the seat of the Duke of Devonshire and one of England's finest stately homes. Chatsworth House features as Mr. Darcy's home in the 2005 film Pride and Prejudice. After lunch we'll take the short drive to Eyam, also known as the Plague Village. During a 1665 outbreak of bubonic plague the villagers of Eyam chose to isolate themselves rather than to let the infection spread. We'll stay overnight in Buxton, a Roman spa town in the Derbyshire Dales. Meals include: Breakfast, lunch, dinner
Wednesday, July 15
After breakfast in the hotel we'll head north to Yorkshire and the charming historic walled city of York. In York we'll tour the famous York Minster and get a walking tour of the town itself.

Thursday, July 16
The day will start with a tour of Castle Howard outside of York. Castle Howard is actually not a castle but a large country home built on the site of a former military castle. It was featured in the fictional Brideshead in both TV and film versions of Brideshead Revisited. Following our tour we'll board the coach for the drive to the Lake District, where we'll stay in one of the picturesque villages in the area. Meals include: Breakfast, lunch, dinner

Saturday, July 18
Leaving the Belfast area we'll head north to tour Northern Ireland's majestic Antrim Coast where we'll make several stops, including the Giant's Causeway and Dunluce Castle. We'll overnight in a hotel along the coast. Meals include: Breakfast, lunch, dinner
Sunday, July 19
After breakfast in the hotel we'll start the drive back to Dublin, arriving early afternoon.

In the evening the entire group will meet up for a final dinner in the city. Meals include: Breakfast, lunch, dinner
Monday, July 20
Flights back to the USA generally leave Dublin mid-morning, but don't worry we'll help you get to the airport on time. If you are planning to stay in Dublin to extend your trip, the Champlain Dublin staff can help with any advice and arrangements.
The 2015 Discover Ireland & UK tour includes the following:
Meals as noted, lodging & transportation (while in Ireland & UK) and admission to planned events. This trip assumes a certain amount of mobility.

Chargers must let Meachem go, at any cost
But in the Chargers' preseason opener, Meachem looked as bad as he did last season. Maybe worse.
Yes, it was one exhibition game, but Meachem acknowledged that it was more than just that for a guy coming off such a horrendous season.
"I was disappointed with myself," he said. "I don't have room to get caught."
He was responding to the observation that he got caught giving up on a play — not coming back to the ball on what would end up being Charlie Whitehurst's first interception. (Meachem was so bad that, when I also take into account how poorly the bulk of the second-team offense played, I owe Whitehurst an apology for even remotely suggesting that he didn't play well on Thursday.)
"I got lazy at the top," said Meachem, who earlier in the game had run the wrong route on a Whitehurst incompletion.
Quite plainly, Meachem looked as if his confidence is still fractured and his game is still missing. He looked lost in Norv Turner's offense, and he looks lost in Ken Whisenhunt's offense.
Meachem says his health is "blessed," and he did miss just one game last year and has been a part of every practice this camp.
However, one person familiar with the situation said emphatically that Meachem is "broken down," that his body simply isn't what it was.
Meachem was a receiver who did one thing well. He ran fast. That was enough — for a time and as a part of a certain offense in which he could just be another guy.
Now, he's a receiver who can't separate, runs poor routes and has undependable hands, and he has no business being on the field.
No matter the cost.

I want to repaint my fork legs a different color (red to gray/grey).
Question is do I scuff (how much and with what) the old paint and paint new color or should I apply a primer before the new top coat? Also, what kind/brand of paint is best recommended? I would like to keep it simple and use cans if possible.
I am pretty sure that the forks are Magnesium if that would make any difference.
Thanks for you advice.

Edgar Tamayo, 46, who was denied an 11th-hour stay of execution by the US Supreme Court, was pronounced dead at a state prison in Huntsville, Texas.
The Mexican government had called on Texas to halt the execution, calling it a violation of international law, and US Secretary of State John Kerry had asked Texas Governor Rick Perry to consider a stay.
Tamayo was convicted of shooting Houston police officer Guy Gaddis to death in 1994 after he had arrested him on suspicion of robbery.
While handcuffed in the police car, Tamayo pulled a pistol and shot Gaddis, 24, three times in the back of the head. Tamayo kicked open a window and ran away from the car but was arrested again a few blocks from the scene.
The Mexican government claimed Tamayo was not informed of his right to diplomatic assistance in the case, a guarantee enshrined in an international treaty known as the Vienna Convention on Consular Relations.
In 2004, the UN's International Court of Justice ordered the US to reconsider the convictions of 51 Mexicans, including Tamayo, who had been sent to death row without being informed of their consular rights.
Tamayo was in the US illegally at the time of his arrest.

Business Writing Made Easy
Getting noticed online has become a necessity, rather than a luxury, these days. Business writing is necessary to sell your product as well as to build your brand.
However, you must keep in mind that writing techniques for business and pleasure are vastly different from each other. The needs of business readers and consumers are very different, and the challenge lies in communicating with them through your writing.The format for B2B and B2C copywriting vary in more ways than one. Here are a few reasons why the business reader requires different treatment:
• In a B2B platform, the requirement is to buy; while in a B2C platform the tendency is to save.
• The business reader is more advanced and learned. Sometimes, the reader is more learned than the writer. For example, a writer for a promotion to sell artificial joints to orthopedic surgeons can never know more than the buyer, the surgeon himself.
• Business readers need more content. The average consumer needs to get lured and hooked to a product in order to make an impulse purchase. This means minimum content and maximum highlighting of core values of the product. However, for business consumers, more content is required for more explanation of features and benefits that provide justification for purchase. For example, someone whose job is to purchase maintenance services for a big factory, will read your copy if it is on how to save money on factory maintenance.
• A business reader goes through a lot of steps before taking a decision, while other consumers mostly buy on impulse.
• In today's corporate world, most buyers need approval from others to make larger purchases. The importance of approvals gets magnified depending upon how expensive the product is.
• Another point to be noted is that the business buyers have dual motives. They buy for their company as well as for themselves. For example, a software professional will only make a purchase when he is sure the software is beneficial for the company, and is also easy for the end user (which is him).
So the next time you write for your business, or to sell your product, do keep the above in mind. Got any other ideas? Let us know in the comments below.

Drupal SEO : Verifying 404 Not-Found/Forbidden headers are not OK and custom 404 pages
Search engines care about dead pages in your site that were not found, so that those can be differentiated from the rest of the site. Search engines expect a "404 not found" message, and you probably rely on Drupal to support that. Are you really sure that your "404 - page not found" page really returns the "404 not found" header and not "200 OK" or "404 - OK"? If you're running Drupal - I suggest you double check.
Some of those who submitted their sitemap to Google's Webmaster Tools might have came across a message saying that the sitemap can not be verified since all pages return "OK" success instead of "404 not found" headers - which is another example of how Google requires a proper 404 page. To check how your site is responding you can try one of the following ways :
- Use an online tool, like - HTTP Header Viewer or HTTP Status Codes Checker.
- Use the Live HTTP headers Firefox plugin.
Track a URL on your site that is suppose to return a "404 not found" message, and check the header. In some cases, like when running PHP CGI server, a wrong header will be returned, like "404 OK". This might happen since Drupal doesn't cover all possible configurations and follow up on PHP bugs.
Drupal's "404 OK" possible problem
Webmaster Tips was the first one I noticed to raise the "404 OK" issue for Drupal on the Drupal.org site. Guitarmiami wrote :
When running Drupal on a server with PHP as CGI you have to change line 288(?) in /includes/common.inc from
drupal_set_header('HTTP/1.0 404 Not Found');
drupal_set_header('Status: 404 Not Found');
Otherwise it will not send the correct 404 Not Found headers. That includes popular hosts like Site5, Bluehost, etc. More information can be found here: http://us3.php.net/header
This was true for my Drupal sites running on a specific host (Siteground), which were returning "404 OK" instead of "404 not found", due to a PHP CGI bug that requires a different command. To fix it, you need to change the common.inc file as suggested and the problem will be sorted.
Drupal's "403 Forbidden" possible problem
It's interesting to read that one of the commenters has suggested another issue with the way 403 Forbidden is returned. Although he didn't manage to get this sorted, I found that changing the drupal_access_denied in common.inc in quite the same way works okay. So change :
drupal_set_header('HTTP/1.0 403 Forbidden');
drupal_set_header('Status: 403 Forbidden');
Drupal Custom 404 pages
There are a couple of modules that can enhance Drupal's "404 not found" behavior. Consider using the following modules :
This module allows the site admin to create custom error pages for 404 (not found), and 403 (access denied), without the need to create nodes for each of them.
Since the error pages are not real nodes, they do not belong a category term, they do not show in the search, and will not show up in node listings, or in Popular Content block.
Instead of showing a standard "404 Page not found", this module performs a search on the keywords in the URL, e.g. if a user goes to http://example.com/does/not/exist, this module will do a search for "does not exist".
It includes beta stage search engine keywords detections.

A problem with the customerror module is that is sends response code 200 instead of the original 403 or 404 error codes. So it's nice that you can customise the error page, but it's sending the search engines the wrong code

The arrest made in the bombing of a Planned Parenthood clinic in Wisconsin has led to federal charges against the suspect.
Francis Gerald Grady was charged on Tuesday with arson of a building used in interstate commerce and intentionally damaging a facility that provides reproductive health services, according to a news release from the FBI in Milwaukee.
Grady has a significant criminal record and a possible history of anti-abortion protests, according to local authorities. He may have participated in demonstrations against this particular Planned Parenthood office. His prior arrests are unrelated to any anti-abortion activity.
I should put in a note here about the utterly unsurprising nature of this arrest. You don't have to look too far to find other violent anti-abortion activity. You don't have to look too far to find it in Wisconsin. You don't have to look too far to find it in Wisconsin in the past week:
A Marshfield man who allegedly plotted to kill a Madison Planned Parenthood doctor now faces federal charges.
The Wisconsin State Journal (http://bit.ly/HhcB98) reports federal charges were filed Wednesday against 63-year-old Ralph Lang.
Lang already was charged with attempted first-degree intentional homicide in Dane County.
He now also faces federal charges of attempting to injure, to intimidate and to interfere with persons participating in a program and activity receiving federal financial assistance. An indictment alleges that his acts included the attempted use of a dangerous weapon – specifically a firearm – and an attempt to kill.
Simply put, there's a long rap sheet of violent acts or attempted acts by anti-abortion zealots against abortion providers and facilities, and it doesn't end with these or with George Tiller's murder. This is a 30-year crime wave we're talking about here. And the so-called "right to life" groups, who held rallies throughout Wisconsin just last week, are a powerful spur that does help to incite this activity. Some recognition of that would be in order.

Farmer: Accusations of jealousy undermine a marriageHow can a hard-working, steady, generally level-headed man lose his cool and become irrational and obsessed to the point of driving away someone he loves? Meet Jim and Samantha – not their real names, of course.
By: Val Farmer, INFORUM
How can a hard-working, steady, generally level-headed man lose his cool and become irrational and obsessed to the point of driving away someone he loves? Meet Jim and Samantha – not their real names, of course.
Jim is a reserved man, a bedrock of strength and virtue. He is loyal and dedicated, a plodding man who advanced in his company through sheer effort and determination. He had an abusive childhood that he doesn't talk much about and, when he does, he minimizes any psychological impact on his life.
Samantha's personality is the opposite of Jim's. Samantha has an easy way with people. She is exuberant, fun loving, and wears her emotions on her sleeve. Her joy of life is contagious. She has a lot of friends, whether it is at work, in her church circle or socially. Jim is reminded of this at social gatherings when Samantha displays a magnetic effect on others.
Jim becomes jealous by how Samantha acts in public. In fact, if he had his way, they wouldn't go out much at all. When they do go out, Jim invariably gets into a dark, ugly mood. He wants some of the attention she gives to others. He feels slighted. He finds fault with Samantha's friendliness and gives her the third degree about her actions and conversations.
Samantha doesn't think twice about her motives. She resents having to explain her innocent behavior. Jim's accusations are groundless and absurd. She resents the implication that her morals are suspect or that she is gullible. Samantha's attempts to reassure Jim don't stop his jealousy. Simple occasions have the potential for disaster – either on the spot or after they go home.
Jim's active imagination almost seems like paranoia. He now starts interrogating Samantha about her conversations with male friends at church meetings and keeping track of how long she takes to get home.
Samantha resents his control and chooses to defy him. She goes out with her friends just to prove she has the right to do so. To avoid unpleasant clashes, Samantha withholds information or tells a few "white lies." This backfires. When Jim "catches" her, his worst fears are confirmed, and the pressure intensifies. This panics Samantha even more. Jim is wearing her out with his endless accusations and questions.
Samantha becomes depressed. She can't go on this way. She's losing her love and respect for Jim. The man she counted on for stability and good judgment is falling apart. She starts threatening to leave him if the wild accusations continue. Bringing up separation or divorce triggers even more of Jim's insecurities. Ironically, Jim has caused the thing he fears most – losing Samantha.
Jealousy stems from poor self-esteem. At the heart of jealousy is a crisis of self-esteem. Samantha's effervescent personality and smooth social skills are quite a contrast to Jim's reserved, introverted manner. He began to believe she was too perfect, too good and that he was lucky to have her. Worse, he imagined that she would recognize this and be attracted to someone else.
Since Jim didn't trust his hold on Samantha's love, he became obsessed with keeping potential rivals out of her life. His suspicious interrogations, wild accusations, and rigid control were efforts to fend off threatening relationships before they could get started. He treated Samantha like a possession he was going to keep at all costs.
What Jim feared, happened. Samantha pulled away. He can't make the connection that it was his control and jealousy that drove Samantha away. He was too fixated on what she was doing wrong.
Advice for Jim. Jim has forgotten how well he and Samantha were matched up emotionally, spiritually and intellectually. Samantha saw in Jim qualities she admired, respected and loved. His strength and steadiness appealed to her. How he was then and how he is now – minus the jealousy – met Samantha's needs. Jim has to reaffirm his trust of his own desirability – something Samantha believes more than he does. Samantha pins her hopes on getting in for professional counseling.
Jim's self-confidence is a key to letting go of his fears. He needs an attitude that Samantha is just as lucky to be with him as he is to be with her. It was that independence and self-assurance that drew Samantha to him in the first place.
Jim is worrying too much about himself and his needs. Besides his fears, his obsession about himself and his feelings have become the problem. Can he get back to caring about her instead of worrying about himself?
Jim needs to refocus his attention on meeting Samantha's needs. He needs to lighten up, listen to her feelings, and go out of his way for her in a non-smothering way. Their relationship needs some lighthearted fun instead of a suffocating atmosphere of conflict and control.
Samantha needs freedom and trust. Jim can get her heart back only by letting go. No amount of force or pressure will keep her. Samantha already loves him – the way he used to be. By relaxing and believing and then admitting he is the problem, Jim can get back to being himself – the self that won Samantha's heart in the first place.

President Barack Obama repeatedly assured Americans that his sweeping health care reform initiative would not adversely affect their medical insurance. As he put it while pitching that proposal in July 2009: "If you've got health insurance, you like your doctors, you like your plan, you can keep your doctor, you can keep your plan. Nobody is talking about taking that away from you."
But even back then, plenty of people didn't buy that far-fetched pledge. After all, the president barely managed to push the landmark legislation through both chambers of Congress without a single Republican vote — and 34 House Democrats opposed it.
Now, though, it's becoming increasingly clear that the misnamed Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, signed into law by the president on March 23, 2010, is no bargain.
A study recently released by the Society of Actuaries confirms what should already have been obvious: Under that law, medical claims costs — the single most powerful factor in the rise of health insurance premiums — are projected to rise by an average of 32 percent on Americans' individual health insurance policies.
Another grim diagnosis: Last month, the Congressional Budget Office predicted that the health reform law will result in 7 million Americans losing their job-based insurance coverage — nearly double the previous estimate.
It seems, as many wary people predicted, that a lot of U.S. employers will find it cheaper to pay the "Obamacare" penalty for not providing job-based insurance than to provide that coverage at the elevated rates triggered, at least in part, by the law.
Another ominous symptom: According to a recent report on healthpocket.com, a private website that provides information on both private and government health-insurance costs, "less than 2 percent of the existing health plans in the individual market today provide all the Essential Health Benefits required under the Affordable Care Act."
In other words, the Affordable Care Act is already inflicting a major negative impact on private insurance plans — and those consequences will multiply as more of the law's stipulations go into effect starting early next year.
Americans got an early clue of the bill's expensive drawbacks over the last few years as the Obama administration granted numerous waivers to businesses, unions and even state and municipal governments.
A more recent warning came a month ago from Subway founder/CEO Fred DeLuca. He said if Obamacare's mandates on businesses had been in effect, he would not have been able to start that successful chain of sandwich shops when he did so in 1965. He warned that complying with the law stifles hiring, and is now "the biggest concern of our franchisees."
Mr. DeLuca added that the law's extra financial burdens on Subway owners "will be passed on to the consumer."
So you'll not only pay more for health insurance, you'll pay more for Subway sandwiches.
The AP story aptly summed up the law's insurance-price effects this way: "Obama has promised that the new law will bring costs down. That seems a stretch now."
Keep that presidential "stretch" in mind while pondering whether Gov. Nikki Haley has made the right call by rejecting pleas that South Carolina participate in Obamacare's Medicaid expansion.
Keep in mind, too, that the ill effects induced by the Affordable Care Act aren't limited to rising insurance costs.

|Larger HyperHEPA filter
The Cleanroom offers a larger HyperHEPA filter (ca. 4.1 m2, instead of 3.7 m2). Also the unit has a larger pre-filter (ca. 4.1 m2, instead of 2.3 m2), therefore more capacity and longer life. This feature is particularly useful when the systems are in 24-hour non-stop use.
Higher efficiency HyperHEPA filter
Features H13 class certified HEPA filter.
Individually tested and certified HyperHEPA® replacement filters to ensure continued certified filtration efficiency.
Anti-microbially treated HyperHEPA®
HEPA filter is treated with antimicrobial agents that kill microorganisms, especially bacterium that cause diseases upon contact.
Anti-microbially treated pre-filter filter
Pre-filter is treated with antimicrobial agents that kill microorganisms, especially bacterium that cause diseases upon contact.
|Higher air flow rate
The airflow rate is higher since there is no gas filtration in this device. A gas filter would reduce the air flow rate and add to filter replacement costs and it does not provide any infection control benefits. High air delivery rates are also important to achieve high air changes per hour (ACH) and when the system is used to create negative/positive pressure differences (e.g. for isolation purposes).

PRICES of processed milk will remain high until mid May when normal supply is expected to resume.
Half a litre of milk now goes for between Sh45 and Shh50 up from Sh30 two months ago.
Processors attribute the high prices to the prolonged dry spell before the onset of the ongoing long rains. They hope normal supply of raw milk is to stabilise next month with the increase of the animal feed in the main milk producing areas within Rift valley and Central highlands.
Brookside dairy marketing manager Peter Wesonga said the dairy farmers have seen their output dip due to shortage of pasture during the dry season but they are gradually increasing the volume of milk deliveries to processors.
"There are efforts to increase storage during times of plenty for use when the supplies from farmers drop," SaidWesonga.
Brookside, one of the largest regional milk processors, is constructing a powder milk plant, which will become the second in the country in addition to New KCC facility.
Most of the processors have been buying milk powder from KCC to keep their fresh milk brands on the shop shelves, although in ordinary times they are competitors.
Speaking at the opening of the 8th African Dairy Conference and Exhibition at the K.I.C.C. President Mwai Kibaki said that while a few African countries have been able to produce surplus milk, limited intra-regional trade remains a major hindrance to dairy development.


text: This chapter is about the importance of using research methods based on scientific thinking to insure that the experiment designs and research are beneficial, valid and ethical. I find that everything if this chapter is useful because it is the basics and the guidelines to all general experiments, including key definitions and types of research methods. Still, one thing stood out to me: The ethics of an experiment. During this part of the chapter, they discussed a medical experiment referred to as Tuskegee. In this experiment in Alabama 399 men who had Syphilis were observed and untreated by the doctors, without the knowledge that they even had this disease. As a result, many died, infected their wives and bore children with Syphilis (Lilienfeld, 67). Now there is a procedure called informed consent requiring that the participant must know about the experiment beforehand. Tuskegee left me with many questions: What is the limit for scientist? Should they risk the comfort and possibly lives of the participates for the sake of scientific discoveries? Even if participants do agree to extreme experiments? And most of all, why didn't the doctors in Tuskegee stop when they realized that the experiment was causing deaths?

Intel's Viiv-talking pitch for PCs

Intel ponders business PC brandMarch 24, 2006

Intel details new brand for entertainment PCsAugust 24, 2005
Intel does the Centrino shuffleMarch 12, 2003
Viiv (rhymes with "hive") is the heart of Intel's vision for a digital home, with videos and music that seamlessly move between a PC and a television or a portable device. If a PC carries the Viiv brand, as Intel's marketing has put it, that PC was expected to be a sleek package at the center of the consumer digital media universe, downloading and sending movies to televisions around the home. The company formally unveiled its Viiv strategy at an Intel Developer Forum in 2005 and put some glitz on the pitch with a star-studded unveiling in January.
Unfortunately, the first PCs to arrive with Intel's Viiv brand over the last few weeks have been incremental improvements to existing Windows Media Center PCs, updated with dual-core processors, a sophisticated pause button and a colorful sticker. That won't change much until Intel releases a software update sometime in the second half of this year.
"No one wants to over-promise anything, but there is this momentum building," said Todd Titera, senior manager of desktop products for Gateway. "Would it be nice if everything was delivered in the first version? Yes, but maybe that's not reality."For now, reality is that some consumers and reviewers are wondering what comes with Viiv PCs that can't be found elsewhere.
Intel's main promise for Viiv-branded products is that they will allow home entertainment buffs to stream downloaded video files from a PC's hard drive to a television in another room of the house, or move those files to a handheld personal media player. These capabilities won't be introduced until later this year, when Intel releases a software update that current Viiv PC owners can install to enable the new features, said Kari Skoog, an Intel spokeswoman. Intel hasn't determined how it plans to release this update, version 1.5, but promises it will be easy to implement, she said.
That software will also enable a technology called Intel Hub Connect, which is designed to make it easy to set up a home network with a Viiv PC, a Viiv-certified wireless networking router, and other consumer electronics gear like a Viiv-certified wireless TV or set-top box. DirecTV announced plans at CES to release a set-top box that works with Viiv devices.
"They certainly have a more ambitious vision with routers and digital media adapters and streaming media around your home," said David Galvin, HP's worldwide director of product marketing for desktops. "When these future capabilities become available, your PC can work with them."
Viiv has been a while in the making. It's the second major thrust of Intel's platform marketing strategy, following the Centrino brand for notebooks. Like Centrino, PC makers receive marketing support from Intel if they build Viiv PCs with certain specifications, such as an Intel dual-core processor, Microsoft's Windows XP Media Center Edition, Intel's networking chips, support for high-definition audio and other components.
The idea is to create a brand that guarantees a level of PC performance needed to run sophisticated digital entertainment software, Skoog said. Intel is also working with content providers to develop applications that work well on large screens and with remote controls. Many early versions of software meant for digital entertainment are designed to receive information through a keyboard or mouse, and not a remote control as envisioned for the digital home PC.
Like it did with the Centrino brand, Intel also plans to certify that other devices like networking gear, portable players and televisions will work with Viiv PCs and content, helping take the pain out of setting up a home entertainment system that uses a PC at its center.
"What we're delivering is more than just hardware," Skoog said. "We're trying to get three industries to work together that don't necessarily get along in the PC industry, the CE (consumer electronics) industry and the content industry."
The Viiv PCs already shipping do have that noteworthy new feature--Intel's Quick Resume technology, which allows users to "turn off" a PC like they would a television. Actually, the PC doesn't fully turn off, but goes into a quiet suspend mode while the system is still active. On the content side, current Viiv PCs come with links to content from companies like MTV, ESPN and AOL highlighted in the "Online Spotlight" window of Windows Media Center's interface, although non-Viiv Windows Media Center PCs also have access to that content.
"We're not going to have brand traction within three months," said Don McDonald, vice president and general manager of Intel's Digital Home group, in a recent interview with CNET News.com. "Building a brand takes many years."

- OK, like i see it
- its software to easily set up a local network and stream the
content to different media hubs. Looks like iTunes can do that
easily, what's the extra input from VIIV ?

- Definition = DRM Lockdown
- First any PC can do what Intel is claiming is the big reason to get a Viiv PC. Any computer can stream music and video to a TV. Viiv adds DRM so that content from online music and video stores cannot be streamed or converted unless used by an approved "Intel approved, Viiv", device.
And that means all these services like Napster, Rhapsody, Yahoo! Music, Vongo are all going to eventually require you have a Viiv PC or compatible device. XP, 2000 and '98 users will be out of luck.
Hopefully Windows Vista will be a complete and total failure at retail along with Viiv.

- Here we go again
- It seems that almost every computer company has been trying to get into the home media thing. The problem is that most of these devices seem to be a step or two out of touch with what consumers actually want, and are therefore flops in the marketplace. Once word gets out about the limitations of these platforms, people will avoid them like the plague. These problems are probably more related to fear from content providers rather than these companies being unable to deliver the solutions that consumers are going to want.
The main thing that consumers are going to want to do is record hi-def television from any source (cable, OTA, satellite, etc.) and probably burn some of this content to whatever next-generation DVD format wins out (HD-DVD or Blu-ray) for archiving because some television moments are never released on DVD and hard drives would otherwise fill up fast with hi-def content. With analog television, consumers already have had this power with the VCR for more than 25 years. The content companies are going to want to stop this sort of thing or at least have some kind of control over it (hence the broadcast flag and HDCP). I am afraid that the best that a future regular-Joe consumer can hope for is a hopelessly crippled product.

- It's not in the Hardware. It's the software.
- I have decades old computers that can do really fancy stuff with multimedia: Old Mac IIfxs and Quadras, Amigas, even old PCs capable of full frame rate video.
The hardware is just one part of the equation, but software is what allows you to actually do fancy stuff with these machines.
Heck, I've even edited video on a Mac SE (edit list type processing).

So CPU companies have to reinvent the wheel. Or at least market
it like it`s something new. Since speed improvements have
Their is really no good reason to keep replacing your PC every
two years. That`s bad news for Intel,Dell, Hp and AMD. So they
had to create another upgrade that would encourage the
comsumer to keep buying. With Vista at least 8 months away,
and who knows if that is written in stone! It remains to be seen if

- More Anti-Trust Evidence for AMD
- Intel's at it again. They've decided to create a "magical" brand that does something no one elses systems are able to do so that they can push out competition. It doesn't imporve anything, and it's not a significant hardware change, or even a significant software change, it's a sticker, and some code to prevent people from using content on other non-intel pcs. I remember when Intel introduced MMX technology (a set of instructions programers rarely used in games) and then made software companies roll out "MMX" only products. I know what you're thinking, but those programs did use the MMX insturctions, and right you are! But when Cyrix and AMD introduced their MMX CPU's the same software wouldn't install, why? Intel had made the software companies use installers that would only work if they saw "Intel and MMX" not just MMX.
They tried this again with the first generation Centrino Laptops, requiring you to use only Intel Centrino branded hardware (same hardware, new sticker) with their laptops or all centrino features were disabled. I'm not talking about Centrino CPU's, but add on devices such as network cards, wireless cards, etc.
This is the same strategy. Intel is already pushing online content providers to only let content play on ViiV PC's. That way consumers who want access to that content will be more likely to buy ViiV devices and PC's, effectively pushing competeting companies out of the market.
So what's so bad about that? It's a good tactic and it's exactly what landed MS in court. But wait.. it's new content right? It's not like it was avilable to everyone and now it's only ViiV! Wrong. Take a look at the new marketing with NBC. Exclusive video of Studio 60 and Heroes... wait.. last week those were avialable to everyone, but now future versions are only for ViiV users!
Time for Intel to get smacked back in line, and stop inventing new "standards" that are nothing more than software lockouts to stop the competition. And you thought MS was bad...

PEOPLE taking medicines at high altitudes be warned: your pills may not work as advertised. At least three widely prescribed drugs are less effective at high altitude than at sea level, where they were originally developed, say researchers in the US and Chile.
Wolfgang Ritschel of the University of Cincinnati in Ohio and his colleagues have already shown that lithium, which is used to treat depression, and the painkiller meperidine are affected by high altitudes. Now he's found that even an altitude sickness medicine reacts badly to heights. Ritschel presented his latest findings to the American Association of Pharmaceutical Scientists in San Francisco last weekend.
Ritschel and researchers at the University of Santiago in Chile tested the altitude sickness drug acetazolamide, commonly used by climbers, on 24 male soldiers in the Chilean army. Half lived at sea level and half at an altitude of 4600 metres in the Andes. Ritschel's ...

Juba — Reports from South Sudan's Warrap state indicate that three people were wounded on Thursday 21 February when police fired on civilians who were protesting against not being paid for manual labour.
The commissioner of Gogrial West county, Makuc Aru Luac, told Sudan Tribune that the men had been making bricks for Makuc Makuc Ngongdit, the Secretary General of Warrap state branch office of South Sudan's ruling party - the Sudan People's Liberation Movement (SPLM).
Commissioner Luac said the three wounded men have been taken to Gogrial Hospital. A suspect has been arrested and an investigation is being conducted to establish the root causes of the dispute and who ordered the shooting.
"The cause of shooting was a difference over payment", Luac told Sudan Tribune by phone from Gogrial town, an administrative headquarters of Gogrial West County on Saturday.
When people arrived at the brick-making area outside Kuacjok town to collect the bricks, the labourers refused to handover what they had produced until they were paid.
According to the commissioner, Makuc then "decided to send police to bring them to town so that the difference could be settled but they refused. It was during this time [...] that the police decided to fire up in attempt to scar them and to accept following him that he lose control of the gun".
Makuc did not return repeated calls to ask him to comment on the matter. Sudan Tribune was not able to independently verify the allegations

BET Awards '12 Behind The Scenes Wrap-Up by MrsGrapevine.com
So now I understand why the BET Awards is a BIG DEAL. The theme this year, BIG, was spot on. MrsGrapevine.com has been credentialed to cover the BET Awards or other BET events as media in the past, and often times I send a representative to do the work, and just watch from the comforts of my home, tweeting my most honest unfiltered opinions. Well, this year I decided that as the owner of this site, that if I get credentials, I'm going to work this event, and work it I did. I have to say it was one of the most humbling experiences of my life, and truly gave me a deeper respect for BET and all of the work that goes into pulling off an event this BIG. An event that honors the accomplishments of so many people of color. Working the BET Awards gave me a new found respect for celebrities, media, and the many faces that go unrecognized who help put this event together for our critical pleasure. I learned that it's easy to sit at home and tweet jokes, or pick apart the things that go wrong. I discovered that it's easier being critical when you don't know all of the work involved under the hot summer sun. Most importantly, I learned that as bloggers we are sometimes so quick to judge that we forget to praise the things that are so right; the people that work so hard; and the time devoted to entertain and honor US so often.
I just have to especially thank Keesha Wallace, and she knows why. I will just say that I am grateful. She was very professional and did a GREAT job regulating and executing media logistics, which is probably the hardest job. Thanks! On that note, I just want to share some highlights from behind the scenes.Read More

I think what makes me laugh about it is her ex-husband Nas was dealing with tax troubles when Kelis received her massive child and spousal support rulings in their divorce.

Rosci & Eddie Murphy Make It Official At BET Awards Weekend
Rocsi Diaz and Eddie Murphy officially stepped out on the red carpet together as a couple at the Pre-BET Awards Celebration Dinner hosted by Debra Lee. When Rocsi hit the red carpet at the Pre-BET Cerebration Dinner, it was like a scene out of the movies. The red carpet was so bright from all of the camera flashes. Why? Because right by Rocsi's side, hand and hand was Eddie Murphy. It was truly a magical red carpet moment; almost Cinderella like, Rocsi and her Prince Charming at the ball. Cell phones were vibrating and beeping from all of the buzz generated via social media and texts.
The event which was a star-studded affair included celebrity guests like Al Sharpton, LaLa Anthony, Tamia, LeToya Luckett, Chante Moore, Kenny Latimore, Ciara, Tichina Arnold, MC Lyte, Tamia, and Wendy Raquel Robinson, just to name a few. Everyone looked absolutely gorgeous, and it was amazing just to see all of the work that goes on behind the scenes at these events.

"He hath delivered my soul in peace from the battle that was against me" (Psalm 55:18a).
The words on the Christmas card and the noise coming from our school room stood in stark contrast to one another. "Peace on Earth," the card read. "My, wouldn't that be nice?" I thought. I guess every homeschooling parent longs for a peaceful home, but hearing the crescendo in my children's voices, I knew that peace wasn't happening today at our house. Still, Christmas was coming, and I could hope, right?
As I thought more about peace on Earth, I wondered what Christ meant in John 14:27 when He said, "Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid." Then, the truth of this verse dawned on me. True peace is not the absence of arguments, violence, or wars. True peace is experiencing God's love instead of His wrath because we receive the forgiveness of sins through the blood of Christ by the power of the Holy Spirit. That means fighting children, threats of war, and even interruptions to homeschooling days need not change to experience the presence of Christ's peace in my life.
Would you like to find peace this Christmas? Don't look for the absence of problems. Look instead to the peacemaker whose birth made the angels of heaven proclaim, "Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men" (Luke 2:14). Let the power of the Holy Spirit fill you this Christmas and give you the peace of Christ. Shalom! "These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world" (John 16:33).
Jesus, I praise You for the love, forgiveness, and peace You give to all who trust in You. Please, walk with me this Christmas and give me the peace of Your presence in my life. In Your holy name, Amen.
"He hath delivered my soul in peace from the battle that was against me" (Psalm 55:18a).

Introduction of Portlanders seeking work in Louisiana, 1864
Contributed by Maine Historical Society
H. I. Libby of Portland wrote to Brig. Gen. George F. Shepley, military governor of Louisiana to introduce Mr. Towle, brother-in-law of F.O.J. Smith, a well-known politician; and Mr. Baxter.
The two men were on their way to New Orleans "hoping to make some money by raising cotton or in some other honest way."
Shepley, a native of Maine, was a lawyer in Portland before the war. He enlisted as colonel and commander of the 12th Maine Infantry and was soon promoted to commander of the 3rd Brigade.

UPDATE: Well I officially feel like a dork and I'd like to thank our fellow schmoes for making me aware that the stunning beauty you see below is not in fact Megan Fox but is instead the smokin' hot Danish model Mia Rosing who is constantly mistaken as being Megan. Even after knowing all this, it's still difficult to tell the difference. What a babe!
You might remember last week when we posted a very nice cover scan from Megan Fox's new issue of Harper's Bazaar magazine and that it was pretty damn sexy. What you didn't see however was probably the hottest photo from the entire shoot that was removed from the final print and left as an outtake. Why do these magazine's always take out the most provocative shots? Is it just because they're too raunchy? I can't speak for the magazines but I can share this glorious photo which can be seen below. Enjoy!

I'm sorry to hear how things have been going, and I hope things turn right for you (and your family) at the earliest opportunity. I'm not happy the way things are going right now either, but I can see an end to it, so that's what keeps the spirit up. Chin up mate ;-)
Regards the B&W, I have to say I preferred the toning of the previous one, looks somehow more of a uniform and clean tone. All I will say is watch out for sharpening, in fact, if you're simulating film in this way, don't use it at all because you never had any sharpening on your film photos. I can pick-up the sharpening too easy on this one, whereas the first one looks better. Sharpening can make things look digital.
I've added your pic to my post due to the page break:

Kona Electric Ute £1800.00
So nearly the bike I've always wanted:a proper load carrier but more robust electrics would help to fully justify the spend.

The Kona Electric Ute is a fun companion, and it's given me a glimpse of true, sweat-free utility cycling even in the hilliest bits of hilly Bath. It'll carry huge loads and the power assistance means that shifting them is a doddle. It doesn't feel like the finished article though; it needs better electrics to fully justify that £1,800 price tag.
So what's in the box, assuming that they make boxes this big? Well, the Ute is built around a 7005 aluminium frame that's fairly standard upright geometry at the front but extended at the back to include room for a massive pannier (one supplied) and a rear platform that's big enough to give a mate a lift back from the pub, or nip round to school with a couple of kids. That's mated to the ever-dependable P2 cromoly fork and Deore/Alivio MTB running gear. The brake set up is reversed from the non-electric version, with a disc at the rear and a V-brake at the front, since the front hub motor isn't disc-compatible. It's all dependable kit and eminently upgradeable if your Ute is destined for a long and hard life.
The electrics are powered by a giant battery that slots underneath the extended rear pannier. At 13Ah it's basically two normal electric bike batteries soldered together in a shiny case, so far as we can tell from the prototype shots. That feeds a hub motor in the front wheel, which is controlled by: a sensor in the rear dropout; a black box (literally) behind the seat tube; and a bar-mounted computer. You get three levels of assistance and it'll also tell you how fast you're going, plus it has a backlight for those winter commutes.
The bike isn't nearly as long as an Xtracycle or a Yuba Mundo, and although that limits the capacity somewhat it really only means that you won't be able to move house with the Ute; everything else is fair game. With a second big bag you could happily do a week's shop for a family of four. Loaded up it's stiff enough, although the long frame and low top tube means you get a bit of wiggle when you put the power down fully loaded. The pannier itself was a bit of a sticking point in the original Ute review, but I didn't have any problem with ours fouling the mech. Whether that's down to a redesign or lucky packing I'm not sure. It's a pity the weather sealing isn't better on it though, and the rain pools in the bottom on wet days as it can sneak in at the top.
The main difference here is the electric system, and given that it adds over a grand to the price does it do enough to justify the extra outlay? The first thing I tried, of course, was to load up the big orange pannier bag with as much shopping as would fit (£38 from Morrisons, adjust for your preferred store) and drag it up the long hill back to the homestead. The steep way. In normal clothes. To the bike's lasting credit it swallowed the groceries and chuffed up the hill (3km, 16% at its steepest) without me even having to break a sweat. That's mighty impressive given that the bike weighs over 30kg even without any shopping added. I arrived at the top thinking, 'this must be what utility cycling is like if you live somewhere flat', and rather wishing that I did.
The power assistance isn't without its faults, though. One downside to using a sensor/front hub system is that there tends to be a bit of lag between stamping on the pedals and getting some help, and that's the case here. Also the bar-mounted computer is a flimsy-looking thing, with clunky switches, and it's fairly hard to read when the backlight's on. Switching between power modes was generally fine, although a couple of times the electrics stopped responding. In the end I just left it on '2' all the time, and it was fine.
A bike like this – that's designed for hard work – needs a more robust power system. I don't need to know how fast I'm going (generally, not very). Just give me a big on/off switch and a couple of LEDs to tell me how much juice is left, and I'll be happy. I'd like to see what this bike would be like with the new Bosch bottom bracket system, which I tried at Eurobike, or the similar Panasonic offering; they seem to be a much more elegant way of powering bikes.
Then there's the thorny issue of battery life. When I see electric bike makers quoting run times I'm minded of a sylph-like girl in a flowing dress, cruising across the flatlands on a calm summer's day That's the only way to get 60km out of the battery on medium power, I'll wager. Our test conditions – lugging a big pilot and bags of stuff uphill in sub-zero temperatures – is right at the other end of the scale, which would explain why we didn't get even half the stated mileage. Everyone else should be somewhere in between. The range is fine, but let's not kid ourselves, eh?
My overall impression was of a bike that's massively useful for chugging around and moving stuff about on a day-to-day basis. If you live somewhere hilly or you just don't have the legs, then the power makes a real and noticeable difference, allowing you to get around with the minimum of fuss and sweat. If you're going to have a powered bike, something like this – that's capable of moving lots of stuff – is the kind to have, if you've room for it. On the other hand the electrics feel a bit flimsy and tacked on. I've ridden electric bikes with much better systems than the one the Ute uses and I'd love to see Kona up their game in the coming years by offering something more robust. It's good as it is, but it could be better. The better it gets, the more I'll want one...
So nearly the bike I've always wanted: a proper load carrier that'll get me around hilly Bath with big payloads and no sweat. It's definitely worth a look, but more robust electrics would help to fully justify the spend.
road.cc test report
Make and model: Kona Electric Ute
Size tested: 18
About the bike
State the frame and fork material and method of construction. List the components used to build up the bike.
* Kona 7005 Aluminium Urban Utility Frame
* Kona P2 Disc Fork
* Shimano Deore derailleurs
* Shimano Alivio shifters
* Kona Engraved Wooden Platform Rack System
* Hayes MX4 Mechanical Front/Avid SD-5 Rear Brakes
* Smoky Mudguards
* Big Ute Bag
* Centremount Kickstand
* Continental City Contact 26x1.9 tyres
* 250W/13Ah pedelec electric assist, 3 modes.
Tell us what the bike is for, and who it's aimed at. What do the manufacturers say about it? How does that compare to your own feelings about the bike?
The Electric Ute is a battery-assisted version of our very popular Ute, a long wheel base bicycle designed to carry loads of up to 100kg-perfect for transporting goods in the urban environment. The Electric Ute uses a 24-volt x 13Ah, 250W battery assisted Pedelec motor that delivers a lifecycle of more than 700 rides. In power mode, the system can assist riding for up to 30km. In normal mode, power assist lasts up to 57km, while in economy mode, the battery has a huge 100km range. Serious power for carrying heavier loads. Ditch the truck, people.
Ignore the bit about how far you can go and it's on the money...
Frame and fork
Tell us about the build quality and finish of the frame and fork?
Nicely put together and finished
Tell us about the materials used in the frame and fork?
Well built Alu cargo frame and dependable P2 Cromloy fork
How was the bike in terms of height and reach? How did it compare to other bikes of the same stated size?
I could ride either the 18" or 20", most likely. the 18 was nice and upright
Riding the bike
Was the bike comfortable to ride? Tell us how you felt about the ride quality.
It's a massively comfy bike, with the exception of the big saddle which gets a bit much about 5 miles in
Did the bike feel stiff in the right places? Did any part of the bike feel too stiff or too flexible?
Load it up at the back and you can feel the frame twisting a bit, especially since with one bag supplied you only load up one side
How did the bike transfer power? Did it feel efficient?
Power transfer is good, add in the motor and it's super
Was there any toe-clip overlap with the front wheel? If so, was it a problem?
How would you describe the steering? Was it lively, neutral or unresponsive? Slow
Tell us some more about the handling. How did the bike feel overall? Did it do particular things well or badly?
It's a super stable machine that feels more agile than you might expect given its size and weight
Which components had the most effect (good or bad) on the bike's comfort? would you recommend any changes?
The saddle's a bit of a dog but easily swapped
Which components had the most effect (good or bad) on the bike's stiffness? would you recommend any changes?
A second bag at the back would distribute the weight much more evenly
Perfectly rideable on the flat without power, electrics add another dimension
Motor makes getting away a breeze, sometimes it forgets to kick in though
Just don't
High speeds aren't really what a cargo bike is about. some fork judder at pace, speed wobble if you let go of the bars
Cruising is where it's at
Very stable and sure footed
Slow in the turn but very predictable
All that weight means it's happier going straight on...
So long as you're in no hurry it's pretty much unbeatable
The drivetrain
Shimano MTB mix is dependable
Should last a while
Not light but not an issue either
Electrics mean you're not getting top dollar elsewhere
Wheels and tyres
Good all-rounders
No problems so far
Heavy but weight isn't the raison d'etre here
Big tyres for plenty of bounce
Not bad
Easy position, everything falls to hand
No issues
All okay here
Saddle could be better, as could grips
Okay for the money
Your summary
Did you enjoy riding the bike? Yes, minor niggles aside
Would you consider buying the bike? It could make perfect sense round here if you're trying to replace a car
Would you recommend the bike to a friend? Yes
Anything further to say about the bike in conclusion?
The electrics add another dimension to the Ute, and it's a revelation to be able to do genuine utility cycling in plain clothes with heavy loads in a place as hilly as Bath. That being said it's a big extra cost, and the flimsy computer/control unit isn't confidence inspiring. We'd like a simpler, more robust power train in the next incarnation.

Hmmmm. Kona's insistence on hitting tight budgets with a compromised machine is getting a bit tiresome.
The Ute's rack and bag arrangement has never been particularly awesome. They're still hitting a budget by supplying only one bag when users need two. It's never been properly spec'ed to run the big brakes that people want for lugging heavy loads or carting passengers with confidence.
Now here's an electronic version that has "flimsy and tacked on" electronics.
Long-wheelbase cargo bikes can potentially do an immense amount, and deserve to be massively more popular. I'm not very convinced Kona are really doing more than pinching market share with the Ute.
Agreed that electric assists are the way forward for cargo bikes though. I'm holding out for a Stokemonkey for my Dummy though.

to be fair to kona, that's one more bag than you get with most other cargo bikes. not one fewer.
i don't think the Ute platform is compromised per se, just smaller. for most people it's as much load capacity as they need. agree about the brakes though.

The big advantage of the Xtracycle at least is the ability to fit the wide loaders (to support a load from the underside) and long loaders (to carry long items stepped out so that they don't interfere with pedalling).
I've not got experience of trying to use the Ute. It's clearly fine for shopping. But I've used a Dummy extensively for gardening jobs, furniture, waste disposal site runs and the like. I'm fairly confident that the modular bits mean you can easily carry a LOT more with confidence. Whether that's essential of course depends on your ambitions for the bike. I reckon if you're serious about replacing a car then being able to go to the garden centre and the tip, or to Ikea, are probably decent tests of viability. If it's an addition to a car then agreed, there's a point at which the bike stops looking like a clever option and the Ute may well be hitting that point perfectly well.

I have a Ute and use it extensively.
While I wish it was more compatible with Extracycle accessories, I still love it. I don't have a car and commute to.work by bike. I live in a hilly ish area of Hertfordshire and at no point have I regretted using my Ute.
It rides like a bike much smaller that it, I can carry it up the two flights of stairs to the flat and if I need to, then I can stop by the supermarket on the way back from work and get the weekly shop in, no planning required. Food in the bags, beer and packs of toilet roll on the deck.
I have taken some unwieldy loads on the back which weren't that comfortable, the worst being a roll of fabric and my tandem (at the same time) and the length of them sticking out the back made for worrying wobble, but where there's a will.
I'd love to have a Big Dummy, but I think I'd still commute on the Ute.
Going back on topic: Electric is cheating.

personally, if i was going to ditch my car i'd be more inclined to get something like the Ute and accept that some things are best carried by motor transport. if you're not paying thousands of pounds every year to look after a car you can afford to hire a van for the weekend or take a taxi back from the garden centre.

Entre la nuit, la nuit et l'aurore
Entre le royaume des vivants et des morts
from Arcade Fire (Ft. David Bowie) – Reflektor Lyrics on Genius
When translated from French, the lines read:
Between the night, night and dawn.
Between the kingdoms, of the living and of the dead.
We are living, but not really living; communicating with each other, but not really communicating; experiencing life through digital images, YouTube videos and live streams instead of actually going out and living it.
There is a subtle wordplay here- the line can also be heard as "l'ennui et l'horreur"– between boredom and horror. This digital age, staring at screens, is a purgatory — a metaphor to represent the ambivalence and boredom of human life in the digital age, which is almost a dystopian, horrific future like that in Ray Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451.

Eastern Hancock will welcome its newest Athletic Hall of Fame class Saturday night at the intermission of its boys basketball game against Greenfield-Central: the 1968 boys basketball team, Paul "Butch" Holliday, Bob Oakes and Joe Levering into its Athletic Hall of Fame.
1968 boys basketball team
A newly-minted graduate of Butler University, Tom Jones was on the lookout for a job. Well, two jobs.
The Speedway native was looking for a high school history teaching position and opening for a boys basketball coach.
He narrowed his options down to three schools, two of which were Eastern Hancock and Edinburgh.
EH Superintendent George Glenn knew Jones' high school basketball coach, and assured Jones that he would feel at home in Charlottesville.
Jones, who played for the Bulldogs under iconic coach Tony Hinkle, decided to take the job.
"It was the best thing that ever happened to me," he said.
In his four years coaching the Royals, the 1968 squad was undeniably his most successful.
That unit was the first team to win a sectional championship following school consolidation.
They played in the old Wilkinson gym, and the team's point guard, Greg Troy, said the team's popularity increased as the season went along.
"They had to turn people away once we got rolling," said Troy, also a co-captain. "I even remember we played at the old gym at Greenfield vs. Mt. Vernon to accommodate the crowd.
"We had an exceptionally good team for a small county school."

Nairobi — Samsung Electronics yesterday unveiled its latest LCD TV in the local market.
Samsutech Corporation managing director, Priyesh Patel, said the company will spend Sh3.6 million to advertise the TV in the next one month.
"We want to capitalise on the World Cup to sell 500 sets which we have imported," he said.
Samsutech Corporation are the local distributors of Samsung Electronics products
Patel said the 40-inch set will retail at Sh250,000, the 32-inch set at Sh150,000 while the 20-inch TV for Sh60,000.
Speaking at launch, Samsung Electronics assistant manager for the Nairobi office, Simon Kariithi, defended the pricing, saying the product was meant for the high-end market.
However, Samsung Electronics managing director, Han Bae Park, said prices would come down as production increases.
The new LCD TV sold 3,000 sets in South Korea in the first week of introduction, with sales increasing to 50,000 in the second week.
The TV has also received good reception in Germany, North America and in Belgium where shoppers preferred it for quality images.
The thickness of the LCD TV's, nicknamed Bordeaux, is three inches and it has been designed to reduce power consumption, while providing undistorted images from all directions.

Filter bills on track for Feb/March
The legislation to introduce the Federal Government's controversial internet filtering scheme is on track to land in Parliament as early as late February or early March, according to Labor Senator Kate Lundy.
"My understanding is that the bills are not going to be introduced this week and next week is Senate Estimates so it will probably be in the following sitting fortnight in February or later in March," Lundy wrote on her blog overnight.
The legislation will introduce mandatory filtering of the internet for Australians at the internet service provider level, with the aim of screening out objectionable content that has been refused classification on our shores.
Communications Minister Stephen Conroy has previously flagged March as the due date for draft versions of the filter legislation to be introduced into Parliament, with actual filtering to commence some 12 months later.
The time frame allocates relatively little time for organisations protesting against the filter to mobile public support against the initiative. However, Labor took a policy of mandatory ISP-level filtering to the November 2007 election, and has had testing laboratory Enex Testlabs evaluating the effectiveness of the technology throughout last year.
The results of those tests were announced in December last year, at which point Conroy confirmed the Federal Government would push ahead with the initiative in the new year.
Inside opposition
Also in her blog post, Lundy noted with parliament resuming this year, she had been able to continue lobbying within the Labor party to introduce an opt-out option for adults who prefer their internet unfiltered.
"I believe that the best path forward is one of mandatory choice where as part of their normal interaction with an ISP all subscribers are provided information about filtering so they can make an informed choice (to filter or to not filter), and at that point we have a fantastic opportunity to provide further information and resources about general Internet safety best practices," said Lundy.
"This option ought to be changeable at any point and re-asked at subsequent service renewals."
Lundy noted she would not cross the floor if the legislation is introduced into parliament without the opt-out option.
"As a Labor Senator, I am bound by the Caucus decision unless a conscience vote applies under our Federal Labor Party rules," she said, noting this meant she could work internally to try and convince her colleagues to follow a different path.
"For all the criticism this model attracts, I believe that it usually works quite well and has contributed to the achievements of the Labor Party in over century of participation in the Federal Parliament," she said.
