Is it true that there is problems using Companion (3 or 5) with mac book pro and with Snow Leopard?
In the review part it's written that it doesn't work with Snow Leopard and that because of the UBS connection sometimes the speakers power has to be unplugged from the wall and reconnected. Does someone know anything about problems?

As of today, the problem still exist. I just bought mines a few days ago and luckily, with a lot researches before purchasing, there is a solution to still use your companion 5 with your Macbook Pro with OS Leopard installed.
Because the Companion 5 has an audio jack & auxiliary cable, you will need an "auxiliary cable to auxiliary cable." One end to connect to the companion 5 auxiliary and the other end to your Macbook Pro's audio jack. You can purchase this cable from any electronic stores, got mines from Best Buy.
This will allow full function of the Companion 5 to your Mackbook/Macbook Pro. But I hope Apple will fix this USB issue because there are people out there who loves high quality audio.
Hope this helps.

yes, my friend has encountered this issue with Macbook Pro Snow Leopard.
We have tried to connect to 3 computers and they show the same symptom.
It's intermittently some time you can see the Bose Speaker under system preference.
We are unable to find the solution at this stage, some thread mentioned the issue caused by Snow Leopard OS.....
Hope this help

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) -- Quite a few of the Columbus Blue Jackets worried about how the fans would react once the NHL lockout was officially over and the team returned to the ice. A lot of people were angry. Some planned on turning their backs on the sport. Based on their first practice, the players had nothing to worry about. A capacity crowd, with fans standing two or three deep around the glass, clapped and cheered as the Blue Jackets held their first full team practice on Sunday at the public facility adjoining their home arena. Everyone associated with the team was stunned by the reaction. The team handed out free T-shirts to the first 1,000 in attendance, but that didn't explain the size of the crowd and its exuberance. "I didn't expect that. I'm very impressed, very impressed," new team president John Davidson said. "I didn't know what was going to happen. There's a lot of unknown. With the lockout, it wasn't a good thing for anybody. You wonder about it but there was grea...

Special Agent Bella Jordan is assigned to investigate a series of murders in West Texas that are linked to the Spider Rock Treasure.
Since she spent the first fifteen years of her life in this area, FBI authorities believe she can get the job done. What they don't know is that one of their prime suspects-a man who's been on their wanted list for years-is deeply connected to Bella's past. The other prime suspect is Carr Sullivan, the man who owns the ranch where the murders occured. Carr was once one of the wealthiest businessmen in Dallas and has a shady past a mile long. But it appears he's turned his life around.
Can Bella trust him, or is he just trying to cover his tracks? As Bella probes deeper into the case, threats on her own life convince her the killer is someone she knows. But it soon becomes clear he's not working alone, and she'll need to face the past she's tried so desperately to forget in order to solve the case and prevent more murders.

Just looking around
Well, I think that the idea of fitting "me" into 4000 characters is a little daunting...and a little annoying. I'm not the type of person that can be pigeonholed into any one thing, so I have a very eclectic goup of people around me. I like to take chances...I believe that life is nothing without them. I like to spend hours in bookstore...because why the hell not? I like to be the life of the party, but hate being the center of attention. I'm a self prfessed nerd, adn I embrace it with all of my being...I think that we are given a gift when we are brought into the world, and too many people just ake it for granted. I think that it pays off to be nice to people, because it comes back to you in the end. I absolutely agree in "the golden rule." Basically, the person that I am looking for knows how to take care of themselves. I'm not talking working out here, although that is important. You need to have direction in your life. Goals that you want to achieve and are working hard to achieve them. You have to be willing to be open about your hopes and ears, and not be some kind of enigma that is an impossible nut to crack. A few years ago, I was reading an article about how one of the Dixie Chicks had just left her husband. She had been talking to her friends about how her relationship jsut wasn't what she thought it would be. Her friends said that relationships weren't fairy tales. She decided that she wanted the fairy tale, and would not accept anything less than that. After reading that, I decided that I had definitely been living my life in a permanent state of complacency. Now I know that I want the fairy tale, and I won't settle for less. I'm not the type of person that will be with someone and still be on the lookout for something better, I expect the same from the person that I am with. When someone is with me, I am fully committed to that person, and the other person should be as well. I am by no means an abercrombie model with washboard abs, but I do take care of myself. I watch what I eat and exercise. I believe that we should treat our bodies with respect, that way it will treat you with respect. Hopefully, you feel the same way. I want someone that will be as comfortable going out to the clubs as sitting at home. Dancing with friends as meeting my mom and dad. I don't believe in being a secret to anyone, and I don't like keeping secrets from others. If this at all sounds appealing to you, go ahead and say hello...if not, that is perfectly OK too.

Usually you can find me all over the place, from the bars downtown, to the theme parks. I like to go wherever I think the most interesting things will happen, lol. Travelwise, I'm still planning my trip to Europe; England, Italy, and Greece.
I like to try new things when it comes to food, but I absolutely love sushi, Italian, and Greek food. I also love to jsut stay at home witha good book. I'm not sure where it came from, but lately reading tops most of my leisure activites.
I'm pretty comfortable wherever I am...whether it be a concert with some friends, or a movie alone, I'm always having a good time. I do like to head out to the clubs, but I'm just as content sitting at home watching a movie or some TV.
The last few books that I have read were Twilight, New Moon, Harry Potter...if you can't tell, I like to read, but am also into not the most mature literature. I'm also addicted to Men's Health, lol.

The Ohio Patrolmen's Benevolent Association (O.P.B.A)
Message from the Executive Director
The OPBA has been active in Columbus along with the recruitment of new departments. I and/or our Special Council Justice Andy Douglas have been attending Ohio Retirement Study Council, ORSC, meetings. The first meetings that were attended the legislative members of ORSC questioned the financial stability of the OP &F Fund. The new Executive Director, John Gallagher, of the OP & F fund and its actuary spoke stating the fund had the best returns, 14.9%, in 2012, of a majority of the funds. They also stated that the changes from pension reform have yet to be fully implemented so their concerns were basically premature. In the most recent meeting attended, the ORSC made proposals on the authority that had been granted by the recently enacted pension reform bills for the OP & F, SERS, STRS and HPRS funds. The OPBA will continue to monitor activity with the ORSC, pension systems and legislature.
I recently testified at a Joint Senate hearing concerning School Safety of the Public Safety and Education Committees chaired by Senator LaRose and Senator Lehner respectfully. This committee was formed prior to any legislation being proposed because the committee chairs felt it was necessary to get input from the respective stakeholders prior to any legislation being introduced. The joint committee was going to review the 4 days worth of testimony to determine the best course of action moving forward with any possible legislation. Two issues that the committee members were to look more closely at were ratio of school psychologists to students as well as school resource officers.
The OPBA has recently been involved in elections in Garfield Hts. and Shaker Hts. Police Departments. In Garfield Hts. the OPBA filed petitions for election to have the patrol officer's switch from the local FOP lodge to the OPBA. I would like to welcome the Garfield Hts. Patrol Officers who voted 21 to 13 in favor of the OPBA. The petitions for election at Shaker Hts. PD were for the OPBA to become the exclusive representative for the patrol unit and supervisors unit over their current representative the local FOP lodge. I would also like to welcome the Shaker Hts. patrol unit which the OPBA won 26-17 and the Shaker Hts. supervisors unit which was won by 8-5 margin. The OPBA is now in the transition phase with both departments. I realize that the OPBA must now show through action to the aforementioned departments that the choice made was the correct one taking their memberships forward. I believe that the OPBA will prove to not only our supporters but every member that the change was correct. The OPBA has recently been contacted by 2 Sheriff Departments and another police department.
When I began my first term in January of 2012, I had stated that I truly believed that the OPBA provides unparalled representation and service to its membership. I believe it is because of that representation that we won the aforementioned elections. I personally became involved in those representational services the evening of March 17, 2013 with an officer involved shooting in Solon. I made contact with a staff attorney minutes after being notified of the incident, and upon arrival at the local hospital the involved officers were put in contact with the an attorney within the hour. It is this type of service that OPBA provides that sets us apart.
The OPBA has continued to move membership meetings around the State of Ohio. On March 7, 2013 our membership meeting was held in Columbus. John Gallagher, Executive Director, and Scott Huff of OP&F, Fund as well as Mr. Gordon Gatien, Government Relations officer from OPERS, attended our meeting. These representatives made presentations and answered questions from the members in attendance.
This is the second year that we have had a second family day in another area of the State. The OPBA wanted to provide our membership that is spread throughout the State the ability to participate in a family day without having to drive a prohibitive distance. This year our second event will be at the Dayton Dragons at Fifth Third Field, Dayton, Ohio.
An Update on GPS Tracking
By: Sherri Bevan Walsh
Law enforcement has benefited greatly from advances in technology over the last 20 years. Tracking defendants with cell phone tower triangulation, identifying organized criminals with information-sharing technology and using DNA databases are just a few examples. But these technological advances are fraught with numerous undecided legal challenges.
In 1996, the U.S. Supreme Court expanded warrantless searches to include an automobile exception. When law enforcement has probable cause to believe that a vehicle contains contraband, an officer may rely on exigent circumstances to search that vehicle.
GPS is an effective means of surveillance, but it raises issues concerning an individual's right to privacy. In January 2012, the U.S. Supreme Court held in U.S. v. Jones that placing a GPS device on a suspect's vehicle qualifies as a search under the Fourth Amendment. However, the Supreme Court declined to say whether that always requires a search warrant or if it could be done under the automobile exception.
Using the automobile exception is the most logical means of installing a GPS device without a warrant. However, courts are hesitant to use the automobile exception to include a warrantless GPS device because of its unlimited duration and scope.
The U.S. Eastern District of Pennsylvania addressed this issue twice last year. In both cases, it held that the rationale behind the automobile exception does not apply to a warrantless installation of a GPS tracker. Furthermore, the court ruled that probable cause that contraband was in a vehicle only gave rise to a search of that vehicle. The U.S. District Court of Delaware went so far as to rule that an individual can use another's car with the same expectation of privacy the owner would have when it comes to a warrantless GPS device.
The fundamental theme in the courts is that a person has a constitutional right to be free from their activities being monitored unless a search warrant has been sufficiently executed. A person's right to freedom of movement and rights under the Fourth Amendment to be free of unreasonable search and seizures has been determined to significantly outweigh the government's interest as it relates to the use of a GPS tracking device.
Before an officer installs a GPS device on a vehicle, he or she should undoubtedly try to get a search warrant. Some defendants have attacked the probable cause contained in the search warrant, but courts are much more likely to deny challenges to the use of the GPS device when a search warrant has been granted.
Jones has changed the landscape for law enforcement and GPS tracking. While the Supreme Court has not detailed exactly what those changes are yet, the lower courts have given a clear indication that warrantless GPS tracking will be suppressed.

The Doctrine of Double Jeopordy in Emloyee Discipline Situations
One of the primary functions of the OPBA is to provide representation to members who are facing possible or actual disciplinary action. Navigating the tangled web of employee discipline can be quite a difficult task. This is particularly true if the employer either ignores, or as is often the case, does not understand, some of the major legal principles involved in employee discipline. One of these concepts is the right to not be twice placed in jeopardy for the same employment offense. Members often feel that they are being penalized more than once for the same set of facts. Within the confines of labor law, sometimes they are being unjustly penalized more than once and sometimes they are not.
Before analyzing just what this "double jeopardy" idea means, it is important to review some basics of employee discipline. All, or nearly all, collective bargaining agreements which cover OPBA members contain some sort of language which prohibits disciplinary action without "just cause." Just cause is a legal term of art. One arbitrator explains the term as follows:
It is common to include the right to suspend and discharge for 'just cause,' 'justifiable cause,' 'proper cause,' 'obvious cause,' or quite commonly simply for 'cause.' There is no significant difference between these various phrases. These exclude discharge for mere whim or caprice. They are obviously, intended to include those things for which employees have traditionally been fired. They include the traditional causes of discharge in the particular trade or industry, the practices which develop in the day-to-day relations of management and labor and most recently they include the decisions of courts and arbitrators. They represent a growing body of 'common law' that may be regarded either as the latest development of the law of 'master and servant' or, perhaps, more properly as part of a new body of common law of 'Management and labor under collective bargaining agreements.' They constitute the duties owed by employees to management and, in their correlative aspect, are part of the rights of management. They include such duties as honesty, punctuality, sobriety, or, conversely, the right to discharge for theft, repeated absence or lateness, destruction of company property, brawling and the like. Where they are not expressed in posted rules, they may very well be implied, provided they are applied in a uniform, non-discriminatory manner.[1]
This arbitrator's last sentence, translated into modern terms, means that the ideas of progressive discipline and the prohibition against disparate treatment in meting out disciplinary actions are actually included into the arbitral theory of "just cause." While the words "progressive discipline" and "disparate treatment" may never appear in the four corners of a collective bargaining agreement, those requirements are implicit in the contractual requirement of just cause. These are concepts of fairness and reasonableness under a particular set of circumstances.
As law enforcement personnel, the OPBA's membership is familiar with the criminal law prohibition against "double jeopardy." The United States Constitution states, "nor shall any person be subject for the same offense to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb."[2] Likewise, there is a longstanding labor law prohibition against placing an employee twice in jeopardy for the same employment offense.
Jeopardy attaches in a disciplinary setting when:
(1) The employer imposes discipline for a given offense;
(2) that discipline is either accepted by the employee or the original penalty is not accepted by the employee; AND
(3) the discipline is imposed with the understanding by the parties that it is a final disciplinary sanction.
Once these elements are met, the employer is prohibited from thereafter imposing an increased or additional punishment for the subject offense. The double jeopardy doctrine prohibits employers from attempting to impose multiple punishments for what is essentially a single act or set of acts. For example, one arbitrator held that the double jeopardy doctrine applied where the employer suspended an employee for 10 days while criminal charges were pending against him and then, when he was convicted, sought to discharge him.[3]
The arbitral concept of "double jeopardy" has been explained by one arbitrator thusly:
The key to this arbitral [double jeopardy] doctrine is not the Constitution but rather fundamental fairness, as guaranteed by the contractual requirement of 'just cause' for discipline. Thus, when an employee has suffered a suspension for an offense it would be unfair…to fire him before he has committed a second offense.[4]
Just as the requirements of progressive discipline and lack of disparate treatment are read into the just cause contractual requirement, so is the prohibition against double jeopardy. Once an employee has been disciplined and the parties understand that the employer's action is the final disciplinary sanction, then the employee must be thereafter insulated from disciplinary action solely related to the offending act or acts.
Importantly, double jeopardy does not occur when an employer suspends an employee while conducting an investigation that ultimately leads to the employee's discharge.[5] Where an employer "suspends the employee, conducts its investigation, imposes what appears to be a 'final' punishment, and then imposes additional punishment, double jeopardy exists. Likewise, an employer cannot issue a disciplinary 'warning' and later, after deciding more serious punishment would have been preferable (because, for example, the employer fears a third party's lawsuit related to the employee's misconduct), impose a harsher punishment."[6]
Double jeopardy does not trigger when the discipline is imposed with the understanding that it may not be final. For example, an employee is not being subjected to jeopardy twice when he is notified via memorandum that further punishment may be meted out for the subject offense. Additionally, "an employee who was terminated for failing to pass a drug screen and then, after being reinstated under a settlement agreement, was bypassed for promotion for the same reason was not subjected to double jeopardy."[7]
One may ask, is it not double jeopardy where an employee suffers an enhanced penalty for Offense 2 because of prior disciplinary action taken as a result of Offense 1? The answer is no. Just as it is entirely proper for a court to take a criminal defendant's prior criminal record into consideration for purposes of sentencing, it is permissible for an employer or an arbitrator to take an employee's prior disciplinary record into consideration with respect to the severity of a penalty.
An employer has a legitimate and legal right to consider an employee's record of performance and any prior rule infractions when it is considering how to handle a pending performance issue or rule infraction. Prior discipline may certainly be considered in determining pending discipline, but the sanction related to the pending discipline may not be based solely on past violations for which discipline has already been imposed.
Just as an employee who has a long and good record with an employer would insist on raising his or her positive performance and lack of discipline as a mitigating factor, an employer can raise the opposite as an aggravating factor.
If you or another OPBA member ever feels that he or she is being subjected to multiple penalties for the same set of facts or circumstances, please contact your OPBA representative immediately in order to assess whether the employer is or is not complying with its requirements under the law.

The Statutory Considerations For Making The Case At Hearing
Fact-finders and conciliators are not known to exclude evidence from hearings. Generally, the neutrals accept all of the evidence and judge how much weight, if any, to give to the testimony or documents. A starting point for determining such weight is a review of the statutory factors identified for a neutral's consideration in Ohio's Collective Bargaining Act. For Union members new to the negotiating process and veteran negotiators alike, it is beneficial to review the statutory considerations that neutrals apply to each party's case so that your unit can be best equipped to make a persuasive argument at hearing.
R.C. 4117.14 dictates that for both fact-finding and conciliation the neutral shall take into consideration the following factors:
(a) Past collectively bargained agreements, if any, between the parties;
(b) Comparison for the issues submitted to final offer settlement relative to the employees in the bargaining unit involved with those issues related to other public and private employees doing comparable work, giving consideration to factors peculiar to the area and classification involved;
(c) The interests and welfare of the public, the ability of the public employer to finance and administer the issues proposed, and the effect of the adjustments on the normal standard of public service;
(d) The lawful authority of the public employer;
(e) The stipulations of the parties;
(f) Such other factors, not confined to those listed in this section, which are normally or traditionally taken into consideration in the determination of the issues submitted to final offer settlement through voluntary collective bargaining, mediation, fact-finding, or other impasse resolution procedures in the public service or in private employment.
A review of these factors explains the typical case put on by either side's advocates. The relevancy of past collective bargaining agreements goes to various issues from arguing in favor of maintaining long-standing provisions to arguing customary wage increases. This factor pertains to both economic and non-economic factors and is especially important to parties with mature collective bargaining agreements.
The statutory guideline on the comparison of issues speaks to the comparability factor for which we are all familiar. Interestingly, in addition to identifying work, geography, and classification as measures of comparability, the statute also identifies public and private employees. Since there really are no comparable private employees for law enforcement to compare itself, this consideration is typically restricted to public employees for OPBA negotiations. The rather general identification of the comparability factor leaves ample room for argument between the parties on relevant comparables. As experienced negotiators are aware, it is not uncommon that a dispute over comparables lingers even for parties with long-standing bargaining relationships.
A neutral's assessment of the financial condition of a public entity is framed by the statutory guidelines as the ability of the employer to "finance and administer" the issues proposed. This rather broad guideline does not offer specific financial measurements and results in differing interpretations and conclusions among neutrals and advocates even when everyone can agree on the public entity's numbers. Also to be considered, whether related to financial proposals or operational proposals, are the interests and welfare of the public and the effect of the adjustments on the normal standard of public service.
Finally, the statutory guidelines provide a general provision that neutrals consider factors "normally or traditionally" taken into consideration through voluntary collective bargaining, mediation, fact-finding or other impasse resolution procedures in the public service or in private employment. This provision acknowledges the traditions and customs of the collective bargaining relationship in the public and private sectors prior to the 1984 Act and permits the parties to present particular items of evidence to the neutral even when the relevance is not otherwise directly related to an expressed statutory consideration. This factor would also include macro economic considerations traditionally considered in labor negotiations.
It is evident that the statutory considerations for neutrals at fact-finding and conciliation are general and susceptible to various interpretations, methods of proof, and judgments. Still, before a negotiating team settles on a position or strategy to make its case, a double check of the statutory guidelines is always helpful. This review can alert committees of losing arguments and, at the least, help contextualize arguments to show compatibility with the statutory guidelines.

To ensure the accuracy of your personal blood glucose monitor, take it to your physician's office to compare your results with the laboratory results. Also, it is important to keep a record of blood sugar levels, and other daily events that affect blood sugar levels, as this record will assist your physician in making adjustments to your diabetes medication.
Glucose Monitoring
What is blood glucose monitoring?
Blood glucose levels (also called blood sugar levels) are signs of how well diabetes is being controlled and how well the plan of care (diet, exercise, and medication) is working. If the blood sugar levels are consistently under control (with levels near normal), diabetes complications may be prevented or slowed down in their progression.
How can blood sugar levels be checked?
Checking blood glucose levels regularly is very important in proper diabetes management. Current methods of blood sugar monitoring require a blood sample. Blood sugar monitoring can be done at home with a variety of invasive devices to obtain the blood sample (invasive means the penetration of body tissue with a medical instrument).
Usually a drop of blood obtained through a finger prick is sufficient to use on a test strip that is then measured in a monitor. A finger prick can be done with a small lancet (special needle) or with a spring-loaded lancet device that punctures the fingertip quickly. The drop of blood is placed on a testing strip. The testing strip is then placed in a blood glucose monitor (also called a glucose meter) which reads the blood sugar level.
There are many types of monitors on the market today, ranging in price, ease of use, size, portability, and length of testing time. Each monitor requires its own type of testing strip. Blood glucose monitors have been found to be accurate and reliable if correctly used, and most monitors provide results within two minutes. Some glucose monitors can also give verbal testing instructions and verbal test results for people who are visually or physically impaired. There are also glucose monitors available that provide verbal instructions in Spanish and other languages.
Persons with diabetes may have to check their blood sugar levels up to four times a day. Blood sugar levels can be affected by several factors, including the following:
- diet
- diabetes medication
- exercise
- stress
- illness
Certain blood glucose monitors are equipped with data-management systems, which means your blood glucose measurement is automatically stored each time. Some physician offices have computer systems compatible with these data-management systems, which allows the blood sugar level recordings, and other information, to be transferred electronically. One advantage of a data-management system is the ability to plot a graph on the computer depicting patterns of blood sugar levels.
What are noninvasive blood glucose monitors?
A finger prick can become painful and difficult for a person with diabetes to do on a regular basis. Several noninvasive devices (that do not require an actual blood sample) are currently being researched to provide persons with diabetes an alternative. However, most noninvasive blood glucose monitoring devices have not yet been approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Some noninvasive devices currently under investigation include:
- the use of infrared light to shine through the forearm or finger
- the use of low-level electrical currents to draw blood up through the skin
- the use of saliva or tears to measure glucose levels
What are healthy blood sugar level ranges?
Blood sugar levels over 200 mg/dL (mg/dL = milligrams of glucose per deciliter of blood) or under 60 mg/dL are considered unhealthy. High blood sugar levels (above 200 mg/dL) may be a sign of inadequate levels of insulin, caused by diabetes medication, overeating, lack of exercise, or other factors. Low blood sugar levels (below 70 mg/dL) may be a caused by taking too much insulin, skipping or postponing a meal, over-exercising, excessive alcohol consumption, or other factors.
The following are the most common symptoms of hyperglycemia (high blood sugar). However, each individual may experience symptoms differently. Symptoms may include:
- rapid weight loss
- feeling sick
- thirst
- vomiting
- fatigue
- blurred vision
- fainting
The following are the most common symptoms of hypoglycemia (low blood sugar). However, each individual may experience symptoms differently. Symptoms may include:
- hunger
- fatigue
- shakiness
- headaches
- confusion
- dizziness
- sudden moodiness or behavior changes
- sweating
- pale skin color
Insurance and blood glucose monitoring:
Be sure to check with your insurance company to determine if blood glucose monitoring equipment and testing supplies are covered under your plan. If not, many suppliers offer rebates and/or discounted prices on trade-ins.

bachchat | EVENTS | STORIES | GUIDES | COMPETITIONS
Time capsule under the lino
By Bachchat staff
Posted: 22-Nov-2010 | Last edited: 28-Jun-2011 | Views: 3618 | Permalink
When we bought Te Ana Lodge in 2004, the house had been a rental property for 10 years. It had been moved to the Coromandel at least 20 years earlier by someone called Miller and had been partially renovated by previous owners.
One day in 2005 our tenant broke the news that she was moving out and we decided to start renovating. It was no easy task. First we had to clear all of the old furniture and junk left by the last ten years of tenants.
There was some building work to be done in each room. Two rooms had creaky wooden wardrobes fixed into the wall studs, with gib board fitted around them. The end of the house had a sunroom and its floor sloped three inches over a distance of ten feet.
As we were pulling it up we noticed newspapers had been laid underneath - not just pages but entire newspapers. The date on the first one was 16 October 1924. There was a name scribbled on the front cover by the paper boy: Miss Wishart. Who could she be? And how many more papers were under there?
There were 26 in all, counting the supplements. There was no more renovating that day. We sat and read them all and marvelled at how much the world had changed since those days.
The black-and-white photographs hadn't lost any of their clarity in their time hidden under the floor. There were New Zealand Heralds (some with photo supplements) and Daily Stars, the newspapers themselves all columns of text apart from enormous adverts in the middle sections.
There was one article about a man who was arrested by police in Auckland after throwing a block of wood over a hedge in a city park - it landed on the ground in front of a gentleman and his wife who were sitting on a park bench. They called the police and the culprit was fined one pound after admitting to the crime.
There were photographs of the All Blacks' 1924 tour of the UK, the royal family, Zeppelins - the new mode of transport - a tram crash in Queen Street, Auckland.
There was a story about a mounted police sports event at Ilford in England, the policemen riding their horses with balloons on their heads, trying to clobber their opponent's balloon! Wouldn't Monty Python have loved this?
There were sections of land for sale on Waiheke Island from 35 pounds, payable at no interest for one pound per month.
I called the Herald and asked if these newspapers were worth anything. They explained that they weren't, because a copy is kept in the archives of every edition ever printed and anyone can go in and read them.
They did tell me however that memorabilia collectors might offer something for the papers containing photos of the All Blacks, royal family etc.
I prefer to hang on to them and we are considering allowing guests to read them if they ask - as long as they don't trash them.
My question to all other bach owners is, 'Have you had a look under your lino recently?' I think it might have been a common thing to insulate floors from draughts in the days before heat pumps.
We would love to know who Miss Wishart was/is and where the house was from originally but we may never find out.
By Kingsley Burn
More info
A press clipping from 1919 about Alice Wishart, who was teaching at Thames South School at the time.
Following the publication of Kingsley Burn's story, he was contacted by relatives of Miss Wishart, who supplied the following information:
Assuming the house did come from Thames, then Miss Wishart would have been Alice Ethel Wishart, who was the youngest of the eight children of Robert and Annie Wishart.
Robert emigrated to NZ with his parents and siblings in 1852 via Australia, arriving in 1855. Robert married in NZ of course and moved to Thames, where he was a gold miner. Apart from an older sister who died as a child, all of Alice's siblings married and left the area.
Alice lived with her parents in Cochrane St until their deaths in August-September 1922 and then moved into a house in Beach Rd, Thames and I presume that would be the house that was moved (unless it came from somewhere else entirely in which case the foregoing is irrelevant!). She was certainly in the Beach Rd property through to 1928 but by 1938 she was at 78 Queen St, Thames.
While the Electoral Rolls list her as a spinster, she was in fact a teacher and from what we can see she had a senior appointment at Thames South School in 1919.
She was born 21 Sept 1885 and died in Thames on 1 July 1940.
There are many references to her in the local Thames newspaper but the records only go as far as 1920 so her later life is still unknown as is the identity of the house that Kingsley now has.
She was a keen participant in the local scene, featuring in a number of concerts. There are a number of references also to her sister Florence May and both seemed to be accomplished music teachers. Florence married in 1912 leaving Alice Ethel as the only "Miss Wishart" in the area.

Edit: cooked for 15 min in convection then rotated and cooked 15 min more for total of 30 min for atwo quiches/doubled recipe. See below..flag if inappropriate
The hot milk whipped into the eggs is great for making it a creamer slightly different quiche. I doubled the recipe and used 8 eggs, I did not pre-cook the crust but rather used store bought Pillsbury deep dish shells and covered the bottoms with grated cheese. It results in a not super crusty bottom but it was not soggy. I have to give this 4 stars because it is what you would expect for the amount of work, as in the little bit of extra time on this quiche shows and is commensurate with the good results. Also, give 4 stars because the directions are so well staged for time. I cooked for 5 minutes in convecton oven with both pie plates on teh same rack BUT at 15 minutes I rotated from front to back and rotated the pie plates 180 degress then cooked for an additional 15 minutes. I think I used probably dbl the amt of cheese due to the bottom covering and topping it.flag if inappropriate
This was a great recipe. Its more like a custard (I think because of the step where you add the hot milk to the eggs) which I like because it made it creamier, and not like other quiches, which tend to be just omelettes with crusts. The cream makes it quite rich so little slices were best for us. I also used my own crust and added kale that we had lying around.flag if inappropriate
I did cheet and use a frozen deep dish pie crust - I don't do crust. But, I otherwise followed this exactly as printed w/the tiny exception that technically I didn't have an entire cup of Gruyere, so I added a tiny bit of Jarlsberg. It was good, though it seemed very liquid-like to me... I even baked an extra 5 min b/c I was worried it wasn't really done. It did firmup a bit when cooling, but I still wonder if it could afford a little less liquid to start. Nice overall, and I was happy I could spread this out to prepare over the course of the evening whilst chasing/entertaining a baby!flag if inappropriate
I would give the recipe as written 3 forks, but with minor modifications it was a 4. I made pastry with my favourite yet simple recipe. 1.5 cups flour, 7 Tbsp cold butter, and 5-6 T ice water. As recommended by others I did not prebake the shell but did start the quiche off in a 425 oven and then turned down to 375 after 10 minutes. I had a few bits and pieces that needed to be used up in the fridge, so added 1/4 bulb fennel and a shallot, both finely sliced, to the zucchini. My husband and I both loved this - so much so that it would never have served 6-8.flag if inappropriate
If you are using a store bought pie crust, you need to cut the liquid in half. It will never fit a regular pie crust. I didn't try a deep dish one, maybe that would work...flag if inappropriate
Easy and excellent! Made as a summer evening dinner with garden zucchini! Huge hit!flag if inappropriate
This recipe was fantastic! I ended up using a frozen pie dough shell I had leftover, although normally I would make one from scratch. I substituted asparagus for the zucchini since my fiance doesn't really like zucchini/squash in general. The quiche turned out perfectly. The custard was quite thick but completely delicious and the Gruyere was the perfect cheese for the recipe.flag if inappropriate
Quite tasty. Set up nicely too. I didn't have gruyere on hand, so I used shredded mozzarella instead. Definitely making again.flag if inappropriate
My family loves this recipe so I made some last year for Christmas presents for friends. I bought red, green, or yellow ceramic quiche pans (whatever I could find)at discount stores and made the quiche using sliced red bell pepper for half the zucchini. Like several other reveiwers I only used a tablespoon or two of the bacon fat to saute the vegetables. I used white pepper instead of black as I like it with egg dishes. The result was festive looking and delicious quiches for Christmas morning. One thing I noticed the first time I made this - I weighed out 2 oz. of cheese and it is not nearly enough to make a cup! Otherwise the recipe worked perfectly.flag if inappropriate

I made the Chocolate Chocolate Chip Cookies from Nigella Express for the first time. I followed the recipe carefully, except that I only added 250g choc chips instead of 350g. My cookies went as flat as a pancake, and spread all over the tray as they baked! Is this because there was too much fat in the recipe? They still tasted delicious I might add, and I made the second sheet of them smaller, and drizzled white chocolate over them and popped half a red glace cherry on the top, and they will pass muster. How can I make them turn out like the picture in the book?

I have a large electric oven. If I use it to grill chicken one day but the next day I need to bake a cake, I find that the smell of chicken is there in my cake. I have tried cleaning the oven in various ways, whilst it is still warm with plain water, with soapy water, with baking soda, with oven cleaning sprays, leaving it open all night after use, but I find the smell still persists. Any ideas on how to remove the smell?

2013 Nissan Altima Q&A
2013 Nissan Altima Question: cvt transmission safe to buy?
I've heard a lot of horror stories. Set them straight for me. - d4-c12
2 Answers
Answer 1
some issues but they need service approx every 30k miles not matter what they say. also tehy are very expensive to repair or repl. i would not buy a car with one - globalhelper
Answer 2
I respectfully have to disagree with the first answer. The transmission is sealed and therefore take very little service. Depending on the vehicle, it's true that they recommend service every 30,000 to 60,000 miles, but it's only a fluid drain and refill. No substantial work is done and they are extremely reliable. Nissan is one of the best selling car brands in America, and virtually every car they make contains a CVT transmission. If you would like to speak to one of our service advisors about your question, feel free to call our service department directly at 801.290.0251. I hope this helps. - Tim Dahle Nissan

C.S. Luis is your pusher
The first book in this series is wonderful and imaginative. The following are still pretty good, but they get increasingly pushy on the religious front. By the end it just feels like I'm being yelled at by a priest, who is telling me to go to church.
The audio books were orinally narrated by Patrick Stuart, who does a fantastic job, I recommend them if you can find them.

Robert E. Lee's "Severest Struggle": New Research Shows That Lee's Momentous Decision to Fight for the South Was Far from Inevitable
Pryor, Elizabeth Brown, American Heritage
One April afternoon in 1861, a proud man in his early fifties strode nervously across the portico of his home, too distracted to appreciate its sweeping view of the Potomac. He had an elegant military bearing and the dark looks of a stage star, but on this day his genial face was shadowed by worry His unsettled demeanor surprised several onlookers, accustomed to his normally composed nature. A family slave, Jim Parks, described his master pacing "backwa'd and fo'ward on de po'ch, steddyin'." A young cousin puzzled as his relative circulated slowly through the garden, lost in uneasy reflection. The tension increased over the next two days: now the troubled footsteps could be heard treading across the upstairs chambers, punctuated by the sounds of fervent prayer. As his family gathered below in apprehension, Colonel R.E. Lee of the U.S. Army agonized over both his own future and that of the nation.
This is an enormously charged moment, a scene worthy of Shakespeare. Few decisions would carry more consequence than Lee's determination to join the secessionists as the Union split apart. In the months following this anguish Lee would also begin a metamorphic journey; shedding long-held loyalties, his privacy--even his former identity. Once a respected, but little-known officer, he was now the object of public comment. Newspapers began calling him "Robert E. Lee"--a name neither he nor his family ever used. His appearance altered radically. By November 1861 the black curls and square chin were lost beneath a beard and rapidly whitening mane. His acquaintances later wrote that they were stunned by such marked changes in a man they thought they knew.
The true drama of the moment, however, lies in Lee's own desperation. As his wife would attest, it was the "severest struggle of his life." Yet part of the tradition surrounding Lee is that his decision to fight for Virginia was virtually foreordained. Historians have traditionally portrayed it as an inevitable historic moment--a "no-brainer" in the words of one contemporary writer. But a close examination of neglected private papers, including two tantalizing trunksfuls of long-forgotten family letters [see sidebar], shows not only that Lee suffered intensely as the nation skidded into war, but that his personal battle was extremely complicated.
He was not a victim of fate; nor was he a captive of family expectations or rigid codes of conduct. Indeed he had numerous options--options that many of his relatives and fellow army officers exercised. As Lee would find, there was nothing predictable about the paths that lay ahead.
Born 200 years ago in Westmoreland County, Virginia, Robert Edward Lee was bred in households that supported a strong Union, capable of defending its principles as well as its territory. The son of Revolutionary War hero "Light-Horse Harry" Lee, Robert graduated from West Point in 1829 and two years later married Mary Anna Randolph Custis, the great-granddaughter of Martha Washington. Home for the couple and their seven children was Arlington, the Custis family seat, just across the river from Washington D.C. The army trained Lee to view his profession as a national responsibility and in his 35-year career he served all over the country--in frontier cities like St. Louis, fighting Indians on the Texas plains, or building eastern seaboard fortifications. Although he remained powerfully attached to his native state, in 1857 Lee told a brother-in-law that his patriotism encompassed "the whole country" and that its limits "contained no North, no South, no East no west, but embraced the broad Union, in all its might & strength, present & future."
Nonetheless, the increasingly shrill tone of the abolitionists and the attitude of the North's majority population worried Lee, as it did many Southerners. He also owned human property and believed that a master/slave relationship was the best that could be expected between the races. …

If I have to get a new chain I will look for a new stocker take off and just cut it down. Very happy with my stock drivetrain so far.
Steveho your running a Trail Tech Vapor correct? What RPM is your WR running at 70mph in 5th with 15/45 gearing? Did you write down what your 14/50 RPM was at 50mph? I don't know what RPM it was, but my bike ran the best feel for cruising at 50-55mph in 5th. If you have that data it would save me some cash buying sprockets.
Yes that is the tire. I don't know what I am going to do, but for now still sticking with full on dirt tires. I know unless it is similar to a 606 it would not have the off road traction I prefer. On a different bike I would be looking at a good dual sport tire, but if there is a hill to climb, mud to dig, or what ever I'm pretty much going to try it on the WR. A 14K bike such as the 800 or 990 I hope would cause me a little more caution.
Does the 6.6 Acerbis petcocks sit in the same location as the 3.3? I just installed the 3.3 last summer, but will be putting a 6.6 on very shortly. Yes it is a huge tank, but I really do need the range without carrying fuel. Just wondering if I have to do it all over again to get it plumbed in. Not that it is a huge deal. I will be adding in a seperate valve with a drain hose to transfer fuel. Way easier then siphoning it for another bike.
Oh yeah I have a barely used (no scratches) blue Acerbis 3.3 if anyone wants it.
I did not have the vapor on when I was running the 45 rear. I can tell you that its long enough to hit 100mph+ on gravel with ease. Technical terrain turns into alot of clutch riding.
With the 13-50 at 70mph i run about 9500rpm with the 15-50 i run 7500 at 70. The 15-45 would probably be around 5500-6000rpm at 70mph.
I dont think its really neccesary for you to go down to a 45. Guys who run races out in the desert up in north africa have been running 15-48 setups for years. The claim it gives them enough bottom end power for some dunes and they are still able to hit 80-90mph on the straights.
I think 45 is an overkill. But for now im happy with the 15-50 setup if I need a little more speed. Standing at riding above 70mph is way uncomfortable.

Originally written on The Football Fan Spot | Last updated 11/11/12
Kansas City Chiefs (1-7) at Pittsburgh Steelers (5-3) The Chiefs have yet to lead in regulation through 8 games, the first time a team has done that since 1929 and that team folded after the season. Actually, they were also the first team to do that through 7 games since 1929 as well. However, they aren't the worst team in the NFL. They don't rank dead last in either rate of sustaining drives differential or yards per play differential (that distinction belongs to Jacksonville). They rank 24th and 31st respectively in those two statistics and that's including sometime that the inferior Brady Quinn spent at quarterback. The reason that those two important statistics say they're slightly better than their record is their turnover differential. Through just 8 games, they are -20 in turnovers. Even if they tied the NFL single season record of -30 (record is -28 since merger), their turnover differential would be -10 in their final 8 games, two times better than it was in their first eig...
