Since I'm positive that we've now formed a judgment-free, impenetrable trust circle, I feel comfortable admitting that I'm too terrified to ever handle fireworks (I also am very fond of all ten of my fingers, so there's that). That's why my favorite kind of celebrity is the kind who is so smokin' hot that they could literally set a firework off. Here are the 22 celebrities who make my fireworks go off. Is that a sexual euphemism or do I literally carry around fireworks and ask random celebrities to set them off for me? No one really knows for sure. More

Pros: Easy to use, Good build quality, Quiet, looks good
"I am genuinely very happy with this washer. It is very modern looking, high tech, and very quiet!
There are lots of different settings, 14 washing programmes, and a few clever ideas, like a child lock, a refresh wash and the fact that it weighs how much you have in there and adjusts settings accordingly.
The refresh wash is my favourite - it takes 2 or 3 items and very lightly washes them using steam - it takes 20 mins. They come out slightly damp, but depending on the material, you don't even need to re-iron them. Great if you wanted to wear an outfit again but they weren't dirty enough to warrant a full wash, and they also don't take anywhere near as long to dry.
This LG machine also has a silent wash setting, but I've found all the settings are pretty quiet, to be honest. No matter which programme you choose, the LCD display tells you precisely how many minutes it will take to finish which I like as it helps me to plan my day! It also has a delay setting, so you could set it off overnight on the silent wash and be totally oblivious to the fact it's running!
The 9kg drum holds a whole load of washing, so I've found that I'm washing much larger loads with the same amount of washing liquid - which in turn will save me money. The machine is also rated A+++ so it should save money on the electric too!
Ironing is my least favourite job, so I was very pleased to see that items don't come out as creased as my old washer used to - and some items don't even need ironing at all - Bonus!
Overall, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this to anyone - The only downsides that I could find are that the front of the machine is domed, so it juts out a little more than others (which might put some people off depending on space) and the manual it comes with doesn't shout out enough about the fantastic features it offers."

Pros: Value for money, Easy to use, Good build quality, Quiet, looks good, steam cleans and allergy wash
"The LG True Steam Washing machine is certainly impressive to look at but it also gives an impressive wash and user experience. There are lots of features that I really appreciate but the main one is the medic rinse feature and allergy wash. Having family members with asthma and sensitive skin the allergy wash is something that is getting a lot of use.
The clothes come out feeling cleaner and the 1400 spin means they aren't sopping wet, reducing the required drying time quite dramatically.
The machine is really quiet (only noisy if you choose the 1400 spin), surprisingly so, which is great and thanks to the Direct Drive technology. The direct drive comes with a 10 year warranty too (the machine has a two year guarantee). There's also a silent wash if you want to use it but I don't think it's needed as the machine is super quiet as it is.
The LCD display is easy to use, you can customise the washes and choose your own and then save your choice as a favourite.
The A+++ energy rating is a brilliant bonus, saving money for me and helping the environment. And the generous size of the drum means I can wash everything in my washing basket in just one load.
The build is great, it looks like a quality machine and it works like one too. The use of technology is brilliant (like the smart diagnosis app) but it remains very easy to use and to work out. I highly recommend this machine to everyone."

Pros: Value for money, Easy to use, Good build quality, Quiet, looks good
"I chose this machine because my last LG washer lasted for over 15 years without a major problem. I used a Bosch machine in between and clothes are definitely much cleaner out of the LG. It also has much greater programme flexibility.
The LG Truesteam has 14 set programmes including quick wash, duvet, allergy care and dark wash. After selecting a programme there are options to alter the rinse cycle, temperature and spin speed so the combinations are almost limitless. Once you have found a custom setting you like you can save it as a favourite.
I'm not sure yet how much I will use the steam function. It is offered as an option for some of the set programmes and there are also two set steam programmes - allergy care and refresh. I haven't used those yet. When I did a wash with the steam option, I didn't really notice much difference. The results from a normal wash are very good so it may not be worth spending the extra money just for this function."

"I cannot comment too much on the wash quality just yet as we have only had it a week but certainly no problems so far even using the 60 minute intense. The spin cycle is so quiet we didn't even realise it was happening my last machine was so bad it made the walls vibrate! Even with the plethora of buttons and wizzy looking controls this machine is very easy to use as well, so overall very happy at the moment."

"Great machine, very easy to use with lots of different washes to choose from using the wheel to select. Really clear display which also gives duration of wash and beeps when complete. Wash duration and temp can be adjusted to suit your preferences and steam clean gets out those tricky stains.
Has a child lock to stop the kids adjusting the settings mid wash. Nice big 9kg drum means we can wash the whole washing basket in one go and very quiet when in operation
Build quality seems great, but very heavy, may need some help to push it into the allocated space. Also looks great in my utility room.
All in all a well built machine, simple to use with some great added features and very quiet in operation."

William Lawson Konvalinka
The University of Texas School of Law has awarded the fourth Equal Justice Scholarship to William Lawson Konvalinka, an incoming first-year law student. The scholarship covers full tuition and fees for three years of legal study.
The Equal Justice Scholarship was established to increase access to justice in Texas by supporting recipients' work in public interest during law school and after graduation. The scholarship's scope has been expanded for the Class of 2011 by permitting post-graduate work outside Texas. Konvalinka has committed to working after law school on a full-time basis for three years providing direct legal services to low-income individuals or groups at a non-profit organization in the United States.
"The Equal Justice Scholarship helps a promising new lawyer serve the public good without the burden of educational debt. It also recognizes the critical importance of increasing access to justice and the Law School's obligation to train public interest lawyers," said Eden Harrington, director of UT Law's William Wayne Justice Center for Public Interest Law, which administers the program.
The Law School developed the scholarship in partnership with the Texas Access to Justice Commission and Baylor University School of Law, which has a similar program. The Law School committed to fund three scholarships, collectively valued at $135,000, over three years as a pilot program. The first three scholarships were awarded to Amber VanSchuyver, who graduated in May and has been awarded a prestigious two-year fellowship that will fund her work at Texas RioGrande Legal Aid in Edinburg, Texas; Jessica Cassidy, a rising third-year law student; and Kyle Marie Stock, who is beginning her second year.
"Law is the arena in which those who have no voice are able to proclaim their basic rights," Konvalinka said. "I intend to advocate for individuals being denied their voice in our society and abroad." Konvalinka is a cum laude graduate of Vanderbilt University where he double majored in English and in Human and Organizational Development with a concentration in Community Development. After college, Konvalinka moved to Peru where he co-founded a microfinance project for women in a marginalized urban district outside Trujillo.
"Lawson has been awarded the Equal Justice Scholarship because of his demonstrated commitment to using the law to better our society," Harrington said. "He has already achieved great gains for the underserved through his work in Peru, and we are pleased to support his legal education."
The William Wayne Justice Center is dedicated to promoting equal justice for all through legal education. The Justice Center works toward this goal by educating students and attorneys about public interest issues through conferences, research projects, and clinical courses; by encouraging all students to participate in pro bono and public interest law throughout their careers; and by creating public service opportunities for students and graduates.

Pine Flat Dam is a concrete gravity dam on the Kings River of central California in the United States. Situated about 20 miles (32 km) east of Fresno, the dam is 440 feet (130 m) high and impounds Pine Flat Lake, one of the largest reservoirs in California, in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada just outside the boundary of Kings Canyon National Park. The dam's primary purpose is flood control, with irrigation, power generation and recreation secondary in importance.
The dam was built by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) after a six-year controversy between supporters of irrigation development and proponents of flood control. Construction began in 1947 and was completed in 1954. Since then, the dam has prevented millions of dollars in flood damages and fostered extensive development of agriculture on the fertile floodplain of the Kings River; after 1984 it has also generated hydroelectricity. However, the increased irrigation allowed by the dam has also led to the destruction of some of North America's most extensive wetland habitats.
The first serious proposal to dam the Kings River was made in the 1850s by engineer J.B. Lippincott, who surveyed and envisioned the development of a 185,000-acre-foot (0.228 km3) reservoir on the river.[7] However, it was not until 1914 when the proposed Kings River dam gained strong support from area farmers and water districts, who formed the Kings River Water Association (KRWA) in 1927 to allocate river water for the irrigation of 958,000 acres (388,000 ha) of the San Joaquin Valley on the alluvial plain of the Kings River.[8] In 1937, the KRWA appealed to the federal government to provide financial aid and support the construction of a large dam at Pine Flat.[8]
Starting in 1938, two government agencies – the USACE and the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation (USBR) – fought it out for the construction of Pine Flat Dam.[7] With the support of President Franklin D. Roosevelt, the USBR wanted to incorporate the dam as part of its fledgling Central Valley Project (CVP), which intended to develop the rivers of the Central Valley for irrigation. The USACE objected to the bureau's plans, mainly because the primary purpose of the dam would be flood control.[9] Some area farmers were also against the integration of Pine Flat Dam into the CVP, as under "reclamation law" individual farmers could not receive more water than was necessary for the irrigation of 160 acres (65 ha).[10] All of the water in the Kings River was already appropriated to local irrigators, many of whom owned more land than the USBR limit.[11]
Pre-construction controversies[edit]
By 1940 the water users of the Kings River were leaning towards letting the USACE build the dam, in light of the continual water-rights problems associated with the USBR's plans, in addition to full federal funding offered by the USACE.[12] The Flood Control Act of 1944 cemented this decision, authorizing the construction of four dams in the Tulare Lake basin of the San Joaquin Valley – Pine Flat, Terminus, Success and Isabella – as a USACE undertaking.[13] The president signed a bill appropriating preliminary funds for Pine Flat Dam on April 2, 1945, but only "reluctantly" and "[with the emphasis] that he'd try to avoid dispensing any more money to the army for the dam". Roosevelt planned to take the Pine Flat issue to Congress, but never got the chance – he died of a brain hemorrhage just ten days later at his home in Georgia.[14]
Unfortunately for the USACE, Roosevelt's successor, Harry S. Truman, was also adamant that Pine Flat Dam be built for irrigation. Truman impounded the initial funds for the dam's construction and promised not to release it until the USACE and USBR could reach an agreement on the proportions of funding that would go to irrigation and flood control.[15] To further complicate the situation, Truman insisted that the USBR negotiate the contracts for irrigation water from Pine Flat Dam with KRWA farmers.[8] In a last-ditch effort to secure the Pine Flat project, the USBR revoked its acreage limit from the entirety of the Kings River service area and the Tulare Lake bed.[16] After two years of legal battles, the share of project cost devoted to irrigation was settled at $14.25 million, less than half of the dam's $33.5 million price tag. On February 18, 1947, the president released the funds, finally allowing construction on Pine Flat Dam to begin.[17]
On May 27, 1947, the USACE held the groundbreaking ceremony for Pine Flat Dam, which was attended by more than 2,000 people. Governor Earl Warren set off the first blast at the dam site with the turn of a switch, detonating forty charges of dynamite on the south side of the Kings River gorge.[18] In order to bring construction materials to the site, a temporary railroad was constructed along the Kings River. Concrete was brought to the dam site by a pair of portable concrete mixers on a flatcar, and pumped into place via a 48-foot (15 m) long tunnel also mounted on a train car. In November 1950, floodwaters tore through the construction site, contributing to a serious late-season flood event that caused $20–25 million of damage in the San Joaquin Valley. This was the last major flood event on the Kings River before the completion of Pine Flat Dam, which would have "prevented much damage… had [it] been completed".[19][20]
In 1951, a cofferdam was constructed to divert the Kings River along the north side of the canyon to allow the construction of the dam's foundations. In July, the river was blocked from this temporary channel and flowed through the dam's bottom sluice gates for the first time, permitting the northern section of the dam to be built in the former diversion channel.[7] Pine Flat Dam's main structure was built in 37 vertical sections of large concrete forms or "monoliths" that were secured by temporary steel scaffolding that was removed after the concrete cured.[21]
By 1953, the dam was high enough to begin impounding the river and flows through the sluice gates were cut, and Pine Flat Lake began to fill.[7] The final cost of Pine Flat Dam was $42.3 million, exceeding the projected cost by more than 25 percent.[8] On May 22, 1954, 3,000 people attended the dedication of Pine Flat Dam. This was far short of the predicted crowd of 15,000. Because of the conflict between local farmers, the USACE and the USBR, "perhaps more citizens would have been present if they had felt that it was really their dam, that they had more to celebrate."[22]
Post-construction events[edit]
Less than two years after completion, Pine Flat Dam halted "what would have been at the time the greatest Kings River flood ever measured"[7] in late November 1955, when the Kings River reached a peak inflow into the reservoir of 112,000 cu ft/s (3,200 m3/s).[23] In January 1969, the highest releases ever from Pine Flat Dam, 17,100 cu ft/s (480 m3/s), occurred in the wake of a flood that reached a less impressive peak of 80,000 cu ft/s (2,300 m3/s) but had a much greater volume than the 1955 rain flood.[19][23] The dam's contribution to reducing the impact of floods has allowed greater diversion of Kings River flows for irrigation, and along with other smaller dams in the southern San Joaquin Valley, has contributed to the desiccation of the once-expansive wetlands of Tulare Lake. The lake, which once comprised nearly 500,000 acres (200,000 ha) of seasonal open water and wetlands, was reduced to less than 27,000 acres (11,000 ha) by 1960.[24]
In the early 1970s, the KRCD (Kings River Conservation District) proposed a system of new dams and power plants to further develop the water resources of the Kings River watershed. These included a new power station at Pine Flat Dam, a massive 600-foot (180 m) dam at Rodgers Crossing upstream of Pine Flat Lake and a reservoir at Piedra to regulate Pine Flat Dam releases. The only part of the project to be completed was the Jeff L. Taylor Pine Flat Power Plant at the base of Pine Flat Dam, which went into operation in 1984.[8]
Following the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks in New York City, Pine Flat Dam was closed to all public access because of its importance in protecting the region from floods and the damage that the impounded water would do if the dam was breached.[25]
Design and operations[edit]
Pine Flat Dam is a solid concrete gravity structure that stands 440 feet (130 m) high from foundations and 424 feet (129 m) high above the Kings River.[2] At an elevation of 951.5 feet (290.0 m), the reservoir has a capacity of 1,000,000 acre feet (1.2 km3) and covers 5,970 acres (2,420 ha),[26] stretching 21 miles (34 km) up the river with 67 miles (108 km) of shoreline. The spillway consists of six bays each controlled by a 36x42 foot (11x13 m) tainter gate,[26] and has a capacity of 391,000 cubic feet per second (11,100 m3/s) at full reservoir elevation.[2] The dam's hydroelectric power station contains three 55 megawatt (MW) Francis turbines with a combined capacity of 165 MW. The plant produces about 420 million kilowatt hours (KWh) annually, enough to supply the needs of about 47,000 households.[6]
The dam and reservoir serve the primary purpose of flood control, so its flood-control reservation is large at 475,000 acre feet (0.586 km3), nearly half of the reservoir's capacity. The dam provides flood protection to about 300 square miles (780 km2) of land and is operated to maintain a maximum downstream discharge of 4,750 cubic feet per second (135 m3/s) at Crescent Weir, a water diversion structure on the Kings River about 6 miles (9.7 km) northwest of Lemoore.[27] Due to the limited capacity of the reservoir, dam operators are often forced to release flows that exceed this limit in high runoff years, including in 1969, 1978, and 1986. In the 1969 floods, 1,017,000 acre feet (1.254 km3) of water – greater than the entire capacity of Pine Flat Lake – poured over the dam's spillway.[28] An average of 200,000 acre feet (0.25 km3) of water is spilled each year, reducing valuable irrigation water supplies and causing flooding, because Pine Flat Dam is unable to contain it.[8] This has prompted plans to raise the dam, which would increase the storage capacity by up to 124,000 acre feet (0.153 km3), all of which would be added to the flood-control pool. Increasing the height of the dam would also allow for development of more water resources for irrigation and greater power generation.[26]
The dam is also operated to maintain base flows in the Kings River during low water summers for wildlife conservation purposes. On September 11, 1964, the California Department of Fish and Game and the KRWA signed an agreement that established a minimum release of 50 to 100 cubic feet per second (1.4 to 2.8 m3/s), which can be reduced to 25 cubic feet per second (0.71 m3/s) if inflows from downstream tributaries exceed that amount.[8]

The Flying Dutchman
27 Jun - 11 July 2015
Touring 5 theatres
Having performed all four instalments of the Ring cycle in successive years, Opera North continues its Wagnerian voyage with the work that the composer himself regarded as the true beginning of his career as a musical dramatist.
Perhaps one reason for this assessment is that the myth of the Dutchman, doomed to wander the seas eternally unless he finds redemption through a woman's faithful love, treats of themes that were to recur throughout the rest of Wagner's career. From this material, he constructed a thrillingly taut music drama that grips from the first storm-tossed notes of the famous overture, to the work's resplendent final moments of transfiguration.
Like Opera North's highly acclaimed Ring, The Flying Dutchman will be presented in a concert staging by Peter Mumford, and conducted by the Company's Music Director Richard Farnes. The principal singers all made their mark in the Opera North Ring: Béla Perencz (Wotan) and Alwyn Mellor (Sieglinde) in Die Walküre, and Mats Almgren (Fafner) and Mati Turi (title role) in Siegfried.
Sung in German with English titles
Approximate running time: 2 hours 20 minutes. No interval.

Richard Dawson and Asiq Nargile: Double bill tour of the UK
18 September 2015
Howard Assembly Room
A very special union of two bold and visionary performers from very different walks of song: Richard Dawson (Newcastle-Upon-Tyne, UK) and Asiq Nargile (Georgia) are bound together by the distinctive ways in which they channel the ancients to transcend the everyday.
Dawson and Nargile met at last October's TUSK Festival in Newcastle, and the seeds were sown for a tour pairing these questing musical spirits for a select run of double-bill dates across the UK.
Beautiful in its strangeness.
The Guardian
It was astonishing – direct, raw, wounded, loud….. The voice of a bear smouldering on a peat fire, the words of poet.
The Quietus
Borodin Quartet
19 September 2015
Howard Assembly Room
When four students assembled at the Moscow Conservatory to play string quartets one afternoon in 1945, they unknowingly set the foundations for what soon became one of the world's finest chamber music ensembles. The Borodin Quartet ranks today among the great names in music-making, universally acclaimed for the richness of its sound, the profound insights of its interpretations and its enduring pursuit of artistic truth. The group's current members are ready to celebrate its 70th anniversary year with a packed schedule of international performances, including its first appearance at the Howard Assembly Room.
Here we have not four individual players, but a single sixteen-stringed instrument of great virtuosity' - Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, Gerhard Rohde, October 2013
Please note the time indicated is the actual start of the performance. Doors to the event will open approximately 15 minutes before.
Kiss Me, Kate
21 Sep - 21 November 2015
Touring 4 theatres
'Another Op'nin', Another Show:' Opera North's momentous 2015/16 kicks off to a dazzling start with a classic American musical comedy.
Set both on and off-stage during the production of a musical version of The Taming of the Shrew, the plot revolves around the tangled love lives of actor-manager Fred Graham, his leading lady (but ex-wife) Lilli Vanessi, ingénue Lois Lane and her boyfriend Bill - not to mention a couple of gangsters who somehow get caught up in the show.
Studded with gems as various as 'So in Love', 'Wunderbar', 'Always True to You in My Fashion' and 'Too Darn Hot', Kiss Me, Kate is a deliciously witty confection graced by what is probably Cole Porter's richest, most accomplished theatrical score.
Opera North's new production is conducted by David Charles Abell, who has prepared a new critical edition of the score, and directed by Jo Davies, who is responsible for a string of recent Opera North successes, including Ruddigore, Carousel and The Marriage of Figaro. New choreography is by Will Tuckett, whose recent shows include The Crucible, The Turn of the Screw (The Royal Ballet), West Side Story (Sage Gateshead) and The Wind in the Willows (The Royal Ballet and West End). Featuring breathtaking designs, a 40-piece orchestra and renowned West End stars, this show is simply 'Too Darn Hot' to be missed!
Sung in English
Kiss Me, Kate is a co-production with Welsh National Opera

Sain Zahoor is a Sufi musician who embodies the cultural wealth and soul of Pakistan's popular street culture. With his robes, beads, tightly bound turban and single-string ektara lute, Sain Zahoor delivers Sufi kalams with focused and flamboyant joy.
Zahoor might have ended his days playing sacred music outside shrines in Pakistan, were it not for a presenter from Pakistan TV who stopped to hear him one day Captivated, he fast-tracked Zahoor into a studio to record a sequence of poems by the great Sufi poet Baba Bulleh Shah which was then broadcast. Without a manager, a or a record deal, and thanks entirely to a groundswell of grapevine interest, he won a BBC World Music Award in 2006 and has since released records, contributed to film soundtracks and performed all over the world.

Aaron Parks Trio
2 October 2015
Howard Assembly Room
Aaron Parks is a leading musician in the new generation of jazz pianists and composers to come out of New York: a master of melody, and a composer and arranger of protean skill and dexterity. As an ECM artist, he is joined on this first UK tour by two other formidable players from that label, bassist Ben Street and masterful drummer Billy Hart whose rich history stretches back to Miles Davis and includes stints with Wes Montgomery, and, Herbie Hancock.
Aged 18, Aaron was asked by Terrence Blanchard to join his band and subsequently recorded on four albums with the veteran trumpeter and contributed to several Spike Lee soundtracks, including the Grammy winning A Tale of Gods Will (A Requiem for Katrina) for the documentary When the Levees Broke.
Aaron's 2008 album Invisible Cinema was lauded by BBC Online as one of the great albums of the year. More recently, Arborescence, his luminously atmospheric solo debut album for ECM has received glowing reviews and confirmed him as a leading pianist of his generation.

Nolensville is a town in Williamson County, Tennessee. The population was 5,861 at the 2010 census.
Nolensville is located at 35°57′24″N 86°40′1″W / 35.95667°N 86.66694°W (35.956786, -86.666967).[4]
According to the United States Census Bureau, the town has a total area of 9.5 square miles (25 km2), all land.
William Nolen, his wife, Sarah, and their five children were passing through the area in 1797 when their wagon wheel broke. Forced to stop and survey his surroundings, Nolen noted the rich soil and abundance of natural resources, and decided to make Nolensville his home.[5] William Nolen purchased a portion of a land grant to Jason Thompson on which Nolensville was later built. In the early 19th century, a large migration from Rockingham, North Carolina, brought the Adams, Allen, Barnes, Cyrus, Fields, Glenn, Irion, Johnson, Peay, Scales, Taylor, Vernon, Wisener, Williams, and other families to the area. Built along Mill Creek, the town was incorporated in 1839.
Foraging and skirmishing took place here in the Civil War. Gen. John Wharton's Confederate cavalry unit was stationed in town briefly and Gen. Joseph Wheeler's command captured a Union supply train here on December 30, 1862. William A. Clark successfully defended a wagon train a year later in September 1863, earning the Medal of Honor for his actions.[6]
Nolensville was re-incorporated in 1996.[1]
August 1996 Nolensville voted by referendum to re-incorporate. In October 1996 the first election was held, electing the first three member Nolensville Board of Mayor and Aldermen. The first Mayor of Nolensville was Charles F. Knapper, with the two Aldermen Thomas "Tommy" Dugger, III, and Parman Henry. Holding additional firsts was the hiring of the Town Attorney, Robert J. Notestine, III (as of August 2014 Counsel Notestine remains Nolensville's attorney). The first Town employee was hired in November 1996 working from the Mayor's trunk and the Town Recorder, Cindy Lancaster's (as of August 2014 Ms. Lancaster is still serving as Town Recorder/Finance Director/Office Manager)living room.
In November 2000, Nolensville voted to increase to a five member Board, a Mayor and four Aldermen that rotated in the election process every two years with each serving a four year term. Although the 2000 election began with all members having to run; the two members with the least votes would result in their positions becoming vacant and up for election in 2002. In the 2000 election Mayor Charles Knapper was re-elected, and the four Aldermen elected were: Thomas "Tommy" Dugger, III, Larry Felts, Gail Phillips and Joe Rositano. Alderman Joe Rositano died in November 2003 and Mr. Frank Wilson was appointed to fill the vacancy. At the November 2004 election, Mayor Charles Knapper was once again elected, with the Aldermen elected being Jimmy Alexander, Joe Curtsinger and Thomas "Tommy" Dugger. The third vacancy was created after Alderman Rositano's death. Mayor Charles Knapper held the Mayoral title until his resignation March 10, 2006. Vice-Mayor at that time, Thomas (Tommy) Dugger,III, became the Mayor, and served in the Mayor capacity until January 1, 2007. Mrs. Beth Weaver-Lothers was appointed to fill Tommy Duggers vacancy created when moved to Mayor. At the November 2006 election Beth Weaver-Lothers ran and won the Mayor position, with the Aldermen elected being Tommy Dugger and Ken Thomas. The November 2008 election was for Aldermen positions where Larry Felts re-entered the political arena and filled one Alderman position with Alderman Jimmy Alexander remaining on the Board for another term. In July 2009 Alderman Ken Thomas resigned, and Mr. Brian Snyder was appointed as Alderman until the next election. The November 2010 Mayoral election was won by two-term Alderman Jimmy Alexander, with the two Aldermen positions going to Aldermen Beth Lothers and Brian Snyder. Due to a vacancy created by Mayor Jimmy Alexander, Mr. Jason Patrick was appointed in the Alderman position. In the November 2012 election, Aldermen Larry Felts and Jason Patrick held their Aldermen positions. With the resignation of Alderman Beth Lothers in June 2014, Alderman Tommy Dugger was appointed and re-entered the Nolensville Board.
On both sides of Nolensville Road from north of Oldham Drive to the south as far as York/Williams Road are many structures from the 19th century still in use as homes and/or stores. Within this area is a historic area which in the 19th century was the center of Nolensville. Of note is the Waller Funeral Home which has been in existence since 1876, the Nolensville Mill Company from 1890 to 1986 (today housing a store with Amish goods) and the Nolensville Co-Op Creamery from 1921-1957 which made butter known for its excellence throughout the area (now an antique store). The house north of the cemetery today is a veterinary clinic and the Home Place Bed & Breakfast, built in 1820, is still in use.[7]
Since being re-incorporated in 1996, Nolensville has had sustained growth. New home developments have sprung up around the city including Bent Creek, Winterset Woods, Burkitt Place, Silver Stream, Ballenger Farms, Sunset Farms and more. As outlined in the recent article in The City Paper, Nolensville has had 290 residential building permits since the 2010 census and touts the lowest property tax rates in Williamson county. Other signs of growth are the new multi-million dollar town hall, numerous business plazas and new restaurants. Additionally the Williamson County School Board recently purchased 95 acres on the south side of Nolensville for a new high school scheduled to open in the fall of 2015 and a new middle school and grade school in the fall of 2016.

Richard Robinson, 1st Baron Rokeby
Richard Robinson, 1st Baron Rokeby (1708–1794) was an Irish ecclesiastic.
Robinson came to Ireland as chaplain to the Duke of Dorset in 1751. He was translated from the See of Kildare to the Archbishopric of Armagh in 1765.
In 1777 he was created Baron Rokeby, of Armagh in the Peerage of Ireland.[1]
In 1774 he founded the County Infirmary. In 1780 he donated land for the erection of a new prison and in 1771 he founded the Armagh Public Library. In 1790 he founded the Armagh Observatory as part of his plan for a university in Armagh. He died on 10 October 1794. His cousin Matthew Robinson, a noted eccentric, inherited his title.
Robert Walpole called Robinson 'a proud but superficial man'. John Wesley accused him of being more interested in buildings than in the care of souls.

I bought a broken xbox from ebay described with a disc read error problem. when i recieved the xbox it worked first time no problems.
I then put an x3 & x3cp into the xbox successfully. the box was working for a good week or so. Then while playing a game it froze and gave me a dirty damaged disc error. I tried to eject the disc but the drive was dead.
I immediately stripped the xbox and checked all ribbons etc to the drive but all were ok. I left the xbox and had my tea and when i came back the drive was working again. I thought it might need a new laser (drive dated 2002) so i purchased a new one from ebay.
Installed the new laser and it worked first time again. it lasted for a few days. But playing halo 2 for an hour the same happened again, disc drive dead no opening or function.
Again i stripped the xbox and this time replaced the ide cable with a faster one (66/100/133). again the xbox worked for about 1/2 hour then dead drive.
Ive had the xbox open and connected and seen that the drive is dead sometimes. the xbox is fine coz if i disable the cdrom check on the x3 bios the dash loads normally. the hard drive works correctly also as i can still play my emulators.
I suspect that the dvd drive is damaged but i have stripped it and checked the daughterboard and there is no visible sign of burns/blowouts etc.
Does anyone know why this drive is dying/coming back to life on me? is there a fix for this or do i need to replace the whole drive? If not i'm left with 2 workling lasers and no drive!!

I would either buy a an ebay philips with a DRE and use one of your lasers or a brand new philips. If it helps any, I will buy one of the philips lasers off of you cause I think I have a dead philips somewhere around here. email@example.com if youre interested. Ill give $15 for the new one after shipping to 79705. Thanks and good luck.

Posted 08 March 2005 - 06:24 PM
I had the same issue with a Phillips drive. I conceded that it was a heat issue. It seemed to work fine for the first 15 min then it would stop working. I later purchased a used Phillips drive and the system works great now.
Posted 11 March 2005 - 05:24 PM
don't think that is the issue as heat would not stop a dvd drive from functioning its only a hard drive or cpu that needs to be cooled.
the drive just dies as if there is no power going to it.
anyone got a spare philips they'd like to sell?

Take the drive from the case (the dvd drive case) boot the xbox and as it boots just touch one of the ground points on the Drive board with an earth wire the drive will probably boot up and work until you switch off again. This is becoming a common failure and is the Drive control IC.
Never bothered changing it as the drives are so cheap.

Here is the best option for anyone that has decided the run flats were not the tire for them anymore (everyone?), but are afraid of running around without a spare. This spare tire will fit behind your seat for long road trip or day to day driving. Also this tire will fit in the spare tire well in the Clubman S! Also see the Clubman mount kit that we sell!
This new spare comes mounted and ready to use. Nothings could be easier. As an added bonus, we installed a sticker on it for quick easy reference to show you to keep inflated to 60 PSI! We also install a 2 inch valve stem to make checking and filling the aire pressure easier. This wheel is a stock MINI spare tire rim and will fit over most front brakes that the MINI has, but will fit over ALL REAR brakes on the MINI UNLESS you have the JCW brake option (brembo kit) on a generation 2 car (find needed addapter here to clear the rear brakes). And for safety, you should always run a spare tire on the rear. No Spacers, adapters, or special lugs needed to make this work with your MINI. This spare is about 22" in diameter and a little over 5" thick. This is the correct size spare for all MINIs no mater what size wheel and tire you have. This is designed to be used in an emergency situation for 60 miles or less and under speeds of 50 mph. By using this you will not cause any damage to the vehicle if driven in a normal manner.
Looking for a bag? Find our new bag here!
Fits every MINI except the new R60 MINI Countryman or the R61 Paceman. Find that Spare Tire here.
Finish Note: We can do custom colors, almost anything you want for $80.00. Just give us a call and let us know what you want. We had an old spare from our shop Cooper that had some rust that we tried in red for something different! Match the color of your car today!
Note: If you have a Cooper R50 or a Cooper Clubman R55, you already have a spare tire.
Note: Will NOT fit Generation 2 cars with the JCW BREMBO Kit uless you buy this addapter kit HERE.

Posted by Bill Holmes1 on 21st Mar 2015
Received the spare in just 3 days and it was just as described. Also purchased the bag which is made of durable material. It fits behind the seat but I preferred to place it in the trunk. I made a brace to raise the tire
up by the trunk door. By doing this the spare tire fits perfectly in the trunk and when you close the door it does not bind on anything. I found that if the brace is not used it will fit but you have to push the trunk door shut.
I have not had to use the spare yet but it looks to be made very well and I am very satisfied with the products and customer service. Many cars today
have donut spares so mini should not be any different.
Posted by Ken on 27th Jan 2015
I got the products I ordered quickly and every thing worked and fit perfectly. Plus free gifts to boot!!! Thanks Guys?
Posted by Dave on 5th Dec 2014
All cars should have a spare even it they are running "run flat" tires.
This tire will take away the fear of having a blowout and not having a spare.
Posted by Malcolm Burdick on 21st Jun 2014
A "doughnut" is not as good as a full-sized spare - but it beats none at all. Got rid of my run flats, have real tires now, and the spare (this one) as well. A note - the spare has a 15" rim, but when replacing the tires I had the mechanic check, and this DOES fit, even though my tires have 16" rims. It also clears the (standard) brake calipers.
Posted by Scott Reiner on 13th Jun 2014
Just what I needed at a great price!
Posted by Ethan on 21st Apr 2014
MINI sells their spare tire for I believe $275+
This tire is the same exact thing and but nicely priced. A must have if you traded out your run flats (which I recommend).
Posted by Lisa Gardner on 6th Mar 2014
Ordered a spare tire for my Mini Cooper S Roadster and within a few days it was at my door!
Perfect size, fits in the trunk with room to spare (no pun intended..)
Will definitely recommend you to all my mini friends!
Posted by Steve N.. on 25th Feb 2014
Still using the 'ol run flats, but now I won't have to hunt for a spare when I make the switch. Great web site, great prices, very easy to place orders, unbelievably fast shipping. Will definitely buy from Detroit Tuned again.
Posted by Kevin O'Connell on 20th Feb 2014
This is the second Mini spare tire I have ordered from Detroit Tuned- no bad luck with tires- two Minis! Orders arrived in three days or less, even got phone follow up to clarify an order!
Great to deal with!
Posted by Wayne Davis on 31st Jan 2014
I was pleased to find a reasonably priced spare tire to fit my Clubman. The price was less than half what my local Mini dealers was. Delivery was as advertised. I will return to Detroit Tuned for my parts in the future and also recommend to others.

More than 30 years after John Wayne Gacy became known as one of the nation's most notorious serial killers, and nearly two decades after he was executed for his crimes, Cook County sheriff's officials are making fresh efforts to put names to the eight Gacy victims who were never identified.
Most of Gacy's 33 victims were identified using dental records and X-rays. A team of investigators and scientists have now unearthed skeletal remains of the eight unidentified victims and will attempt to identify them through DNA comparisons.
The recovered bones were shipped to the University of North Texas Center for Human Identification, which developed DNA profiles from four of them. Officials have sent new samples to try to recover profiles from the remaining four.

Does any one have the weight of their 69er 3.x9? Also was wondering what upgrades people have made to their bike? I am thinking of getting one for racing. I was thinking about getting an XTR or XT crank. Also would like some ideas on what tires people are running and what wheelset. I am thinking about getting a race day wheelset and using the dusters for training and all around riding. are people running flat handlebars or risers?

Originally written on RealGM | Last updated 8/3/13
The Orlando Magic are seeking a one-to-one affiliation with a D-League franchise that is based in Florida. The Magic would like the agreement to be a hybrid where the team operates and pays for the basketball operations and a separate ownership group runs the rest of the franchise. However, there isn't currently a D-League team in Florida. The D-League is discussing expanding its number of teams. "It will be carefully managed and hopefully an intelligent expansion process," D-League president Dan Reed told the Orlando Sentinel. "The long-run goal is 30 teams, where every NBA team has its own NBA D-League team. I can't tell you exactly when that will happen, but I think we'll get closer to that in the near future."

right julian edelman.
actually caught 5 of th 7 passes to him.
runs, recepts, returns
2 yards from having 3 td game.
hes earning some playng time
id still like ot see him improve his pass catching a little. but you gotta be happy.
hell, where we gonna put demps next year?
Edelman is the third player in Patriots history with punt-return and receiving touchdowns in the same game. In 1979, Stanley Morgan achieved the feat, while Irving Fryar matched it in 1985.
nice day for him.
now if he can keep his hands to himslef off the the field we're good.
we are going to need extra production from several places in order to replace gronks production.
i keep hern out.
if hes not ready today, he cant be ready ini 3 more days.,
we dont want his injury coming back later
and we can beat the jets with 2 hands behiind our back, long as josh doesnt get in the way. we have plenty of tes to face the jets without hern.
