Blessington, historically known as Ballycomeen[1] (Irish: Baile Coimín, meaning "town of Comyn", from the Irish surname Ó Coimín), is a town on the River Liffey in Wicklow, Ireland, near the border with Kildare. It is around 25 km south-west of Dublin, and is situated on the N81 road which connects Dublin to Tullow.
Evidence of Bronze Age activity in the area is demonstrated by the spectacular Blessington gold lunula, now in the British Museum.[2] Blessington was originally called Munfine, and in the Medieval period was part of the lordship of Threecastles. In 1667, Michael Boyle (the younger), Archbishop of Dublin and Lord Chancellor of Ireland, bought the lordship of Threecastles, previously the property of the Cheevers for £1,000. Boyle received a Royal Charter to establish the town of Blessington, in the townland of Munfine, as a borough. Construction of Blessington House was begun in 1673 and afterwards St. Mary's Church in Blessington, which was completed in 1683. On Boyle's death in 1702 his son Murrough Boyle, 1st Viscount Blesington and Baron Boyle, inherited the Blessington estate. Murrough's son, Charles, died in 1732 without an heir and the estate was inherited by his sister Anne, then her son William Stewart, 1st Earl of Blessington and Baron Stewart. Stewart died in 1769 without an heir and the estate passed to Charles Dunbar, a great grandson of Murrough Boyle, who also died heirless in 1778, when the estate passed to Wills Hill of Hillsborough, County Down, a great great grandson of Michael Boyle and the first Marquess of Downshire. The Hills held the estate until 1908.
Russborough House is situated 5 km south of Blessington. Built by the Leeson family, earls of Milltown, it became the home of philanthropist Sir Alfred Beit (1903–1994).
The world-famous ballerina Ninette de Valois (née Edris Stannus) spent her childhood at Baltiboys near Blessington.[3] Lorenzo Moore, a noted Anglican clergyman in New Zealand, was born in Blessington in 1808.[4]
Since 2000, Blessington's population has increased substantially, at 5,010 at the 2011 census CSO, up from 2,509 in 2000. The majority of housing estates were constructed on the western side of the town, off the R410, which is the road to Naas.
A new inner bypass has also been opened that alleviates traffic on Main Street to some degree.
Significant infrastructure improvements since 2005 include:
- A new public playground.
- A new fire station.
- A new library.
- A new town centre retail development, including a new Dunnes Stores.
- New inner bypass road.
- Expansion in size and addition of large car park to SuperValu supermarket.
- A new ALDI supermaket.
In 2006, two new schools were established,
- Gaelscoil na Lochanna (School of the Lakes) was founded to cater for those in Blessington and the surrounding area who wished to educate their children primarily through the Irish language. The school was sited initially on the grounds of the Community Education Centre, with a plan to move to a green field site on the Kilmalum road in 2009.
- Educate Together established a new national school in the town, founded on the site of a long standing school and benefitting from a large sports field.
These new schools supplement the existing primary schools in the town: Saint Mary's National School, and the Number One school (Church of Ireland). A new building has been built across the road from the original Saint Mary's school, in order to alleviate overcrowding and the Number One school moved into a new building in 2008.
There is also a Community College on the Naas Road, which currently has an enrolment of over 300 students with growing numbers predicted in the immediate future.
A new library was also opened at the end of 2006 on the first floor of the new town centre building, above the anchor tenant, Dunnes Stores.
In 1888, the Dublin and Blessington Steam Tramway service commenced from Terenure to Blessington via Tallaght, linking with the horse trams from the city.[5] This service ended at the end of December 1932 and was replaced with a conventional bus service, the 65, which still acts as the only public transport in the area to the city centre. Bus Éireann, the national bus company, also provides a minor service, because Blessington is upon the N81. The R410 is another major road that connects Blessington with Naas. The route starts in the south end of the town heading west and proceeds up over the hills of Glending Forest and Eadestown. The road terminates in the Eastside of Naas as the Blessington Road. During the winter months the route is very treacherous during heavy snowfall and is sometimes closed in severe conditions.
- Route 65 Dublin City Centre (Poolbeg Street)-Blessington via Dame Street,George's Street,Camden street,Rathmines Road,Rathmines,Rathgar Road,Rathgar,Terenure,Templeogue Road,Bushy Park,Templeogue,Spawell Hotel,Tallaght Village,Tallaght hospital,The Square Shopping Centre,Old Blessington Road,Blessington Road,Corbally Bridge,Brittas,Blessington Tramway Museum,Hempstown,Junction Kilteel Road and Maxol garage.[6]
- A limited number of daily services on route 65 are also extended further to Ballyknockan and Ballymore Eustace.[6]
- The Ballymore service is via N81,Valleymount Road,Bishops Lane,Tougher Oil,Waterworks Road,Junction Plunkett Road and terminates at Ballymore Eustace Main Street.
- The Ballyknockan service is via N81,Valleymount Road,Pollaphuca(Blessington Lakes),Burgage,Ballyknockan Road,O'Connors Pub and terminates at Lake Drive.[6]

Poulaphouca Reservoir[edit]
Also known locally as the Blessington Lake, the reservoir was created when the waterfall at Poulaphouca on the River Liffey (which flows from the Wicklow Mountains to Dublin) was dammed by the ESB for a hydroelectric plant which is still in use today. The valley was flooded and the resulting lakes extend over approximately 5,000 acres (20 km²). A small village was submerged by the damming of the waterfall, and the remains of roads can still be seen leading down into the lake.
In addition to electricity, the lakes also provide water for the locality and the Dublin region as well as provide a leisure resource. There is now a lakeside luxury hotel complex in the Blessington area, with its own helipad, and lakeside facilities which has helped to develop tourism in the area. The lake is also extensively used by boatmen and fishermen, and is a training location for the Irish Air Corps HQ divisions from Baldonnel, 15 km north of Blessington, and also Local Civil Defence Water rescue teams.

My 1953 M-37 Power Wagon Restored
I bought a 1953 M-37 a couple of years back to serve as a tribute to my son Jordan who was killed in Iraq and decided to give it to the kids over at the local Votech school to work on. They sometimes work on Humvee's supplied by the local National Guard base so I thought this might be a chance for them to see the radical difference between old technology and new. Yesterday they presented the truck to me. Hats off to all the guys at H.B. Ward in Riverhead NY for the bang up job they did!
Power Wagon Restored
Awesome truck and touching story. Sorry for your loss.
that is an awesome tribute to your son's legacy:smiley_thumbs_up:
Very cool. Great video!
Awesome and thanks for sharing.

Jail space vital, 2 hopefuls say
But they differ on approach
Posted: June 20, 2014 at 3:55 a.m.
Democratic gubernatorial candidate Mike Ross said Thursday that the state is going to have to build a new, 1,000-bed prison. But approval of the roughly $85 million project should be contingent on "meaningful prison reforms," he added.

text: Hidden Emoji keyboard in Android 4.2 breaks Cover Stormy Beach 14 November, 2012 Ah the wonderful world of Android and hidden applications in system dumps and other various releases. It really is a wonderful world when new things that haven't been seen, but exist, are shared with the masses. XDA Senior Member blindndumb has found an Emoji keyboard and was kind enough to make two flashable zip files for the world to give it a shot. One is specifically for the HTC Desire S and the other is for everyone else. Just so we are all clear, Emoji keyboards are just for being able to add emoticon to a message. Most predominantly used on Facebook and social outlets and more notably used by iOS. That doesn't mean we don't like them or use them too. The mention of this keyboard and the posting was located inside the thread for JellyTime CM10 for the HTC Desire S. There is no mention of the file needing to be flashed only to Android 4.1.2, which is what the RAM is listed as, or if it can be on lower Android devices or not. We would assume that it would need to be Jelly Bean of some sorts in order to use it. Since the information is missing, we recommend you use caution in trying to flash it. Be sure to make appropriate backups and only try it if you know what you are doing. The keyboard is a two toned black and white with options for 10-key an QWERTY layouts. It doesn't seem to offer the swiping gestures of the actual Android 4.2 keyboard though. If you are willing to take the risk, then point yourself over to blindndumb's posting where you can grab the files. Via XDA

They HeyUGuys Interview: Logan Lerman on Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters, Noah and Fury
Since starring in 2010's Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief, Logan Lerman won a lot of hearts with his performance in the superb coming-of-age, The Perks of Being a Wallflower. For a time it looked like he wouldn't be returning to Percy Jackson, and the actor himself admits he wondered if it would ever happen, but sure enough here he is as Percy again, this time venturing into the Sea of Monsters.
We caught up with Lerman to talk about the demi-God sequel, and about the roles he most enjoys at this point in his career. As well as our talk about Percy, we got some updates from the actor on his upcoming projects; Darren Aronofsky's Noah and David Ayer's Fury.

The defense has requested Allen's medical records to review his health issues, which it has yet to receive. Judge Emmett Sullivan has said he may postpone his testimony until the defense receives Allen's records.
The seven prosecution witnesses moved so quickly through their testimony today that the government reached the end of its witness list sooner than expected.
That infuriated the judge, especially when he could not get answers out of the prosecutors about their witness line up for Monday and Tuesday. Prosecutors tried in vain to reach the Justice Department for word on witnesses who could be en route to Washington from Alaska over the weekend.
The usually mild-mannered judge excoriated the prosecution: "You better get someone on the phone. ... You better not play games. ... They have more resources at the Justice Department then we have at this court. ... If you don't get someone on the phone, this case is going to evaporate."
After waiting for 10 minutes, Sullivan warned again about having the witnesses ready to go: "I want them lined up. ... I better have some answers."
Prosecutors eventually told the judge that Allen would be their key witness Monday. His testimony is expected to take more than five hours.

Now it seems people can't get enough of saying that Nvidia is mad because their drivers aren't optimized or what not for a specific benchmark.
It's weird. First Nvidia users wouldn't admit that Nvidia was indeed doing that. Now that this has happened you can't get enough of them saying that they are mad because their optimizations aren't happening right or what not.
It's like the Twilight Zone!

You're misunderstanding what people's problem was with the Quack3 issue.
One way that graphics card vendors optimize their drivers for games is to watch the OpenGL or Direct3D calls that the game makes, and optimize those calls or combinations of calls within the driver. This is a legitimate thing to do. Any optimizations done here will benefit ALL programs that make those API calls.
However, what ATI did was watch for a specific
instead of specific API function calls, and then they actually lowered the image quality some to gain additional speed.
This is cheating in 2 ways: 1) Those optimizations won't apply to ANY OTHER GAME. If you're not playing Quake3, then the time they spent doing that work was wasted on you. 2) They're not really optimizations....they're image quality reduction. It's a totally different thing.

Photo books are a great way to display and preserve your memories, and services like iBooks and Blurb make it easy and affordable to create professional quality bound books. But your design choices are what make them special. Join designer Nigel French as he covers the basics of planning and building a photo book, reviews the qualities of good photo books, and examines the design principles at work in their creation—regardless of the software used. This course provides both inspiration and practical techniques for creating your photo book.
A crossover image is one that extends from the left page to the right page, or vice versa. I've mentioned before the importance of designing spreads, rather than individual pages, and crossovers are a great way of tying together the facing pages of your book. A well-placed crossover image can make your facing pages look like an integrated whole, rather than two separate parts of the same design. When you employ crossovers, you effectively double the width of your canvas.
Here are some points to consider. Unless your book has a lay-flat binding, you will some information in the inner margins. Sometimes referred to as the gutter. Make sure that any photograph you use as a crossover doesn't include essential information like a person's face for example, in the area that crosses the spine. While a crossover doesn't have to also be a full bleed. Any image that straddles both pages should look like it's doing so intentionally.
That is, don't just extend a small part of the image to the opposite page. That will look like a mistake. Instead, make your intent clear and cross over a substantial portion of the image. And, I don't mean to be a kill-joy, but once again, there's the issue of resolution. Any image that crosses over a facing page spread will have to have a high pixel count in order to allow for scaling and still print at good quality.

The Journal Sentinel sports staff brings Milwaukee Bucks fans the latest news, notes and analysis
Write it down: Yi's the ticket
St. Francis - Bucks rookie forward Yi Jianlian isn't on the NBA all-star ballot, but he's still pulling in the votes like a popular incumbent.
The Chinese power forward ranked fifth among Eastern Conference forwards in the first returns released by the league today, netting 98,507 write-in votes. That put him behind only Boston's Kevin Garnett (735,664), Cleveland's LeBron James (597,768), Toronto's Chris Bosh (185,294) and Boston's Paul Pierce (164,346).
Talk about the power of the people. Chinese fans clearly are not hesitating to click away on the computer and write in Yi's name for the All-Star Game, to be played Feb. 17 in New Orleans.
Yi smiled when he saw the results after the Bucks' practice session on Thursday.
"I'm happy that a lot of fans support me for the all-star," Yi said. "I'm very happy about that. But the most important thing is to win some more games for the team."
Yi scored 18 points and grabbed seven rebounds in the Bucks' 100-86 victory over Orlando on Wednesday at the Bradley Center, before a crowd that included Chinese Basketball Association boss Li Yuanwei and Guangdong Tigers owner Chen Haitao.
"There's an awful lot of pencils and pens in China, and people need to put them to good use," Bucks coach Larry Krystkowiak joked. "I've been real pleased with him. All-Star Game or no All-Star Game, whatever the situation is, he's been more than a lot of people expected. I'm glad he's with us.
"He seemed pretty fresh (against Orlando). He's slowing down a little bit in some of the peripheral workouts. He's involved with a lot of appearances, and we've got him doing a lot of extra stuff off the floor. He's leading our team in workouts in the weight room."
Bucks shooting guard Michael Redd was seventh among Eastern Conference guards with 101,942 votes, and Andrew Bogut was sixth among conference centers with 39,764 votes.
The Bucks have not had an all-star since Redd's appearance in 2004, when he was selected as a reserve. He is making a strong bid for another selection with averages of 24.1 points, 5.5 rebounds and 3.6 assists. Redd nearly had his first NBA triple-double with 27 points, 10 rebounds and nine assists against the Magic.
But Yi's drawing power created a buzz after practice, before the Bucks headed out for a Friday night game in Boston. The Bucks' charter flight was delayed by a snowstorm in New England, but they hoped to leave Milwaukee early this evening.
"It would be amazing if that man becomes an all-star this year instead of Michael Redd or Mo (Williams) or one of those guys," Bucks guard Charlie Bell said with a laugh. "They let the fans decide, and he has a whole nation behind him, just like Yao Ming.
"It's going to be tough to beat him as far as votes. I've got to go on a world tour. I'm going to go on an Asian tour and build up my fan base over there.
"The thing is, I ain't got that many people in Flint (Mich.). Everybody's trying, but we aren't going to keep up. I've got to get everybody to vote at least 100 times, but it ain't going to work."
All-star voting continues online through Jan. 20 at NBA.com and Bucks.com, and arena and paper balloting will conclude on Jan. 13. The all-star starters will be announced on Jan. 24, with reserves selected by conference coaches on Jan. 31.
Garnett leads all vote-getters, with James ranking second. The top Western Conference vote-getter is Los Angeles Lakers guard Kobe Bryant (569,302), followed by Denver forward Carmelo Anthony (482,127), Dallas forward Dirk Nowitzki (443,117) and Houston center Yao (439,125).

Dustin Pedroia gets second and third opinions to confirm original diagnosis
Jul 8, 2012, 11:07 AM EDT
Dustin Pedroia was placed on the disabled list with a hyperextended right thumb and according to Rob Bradford of WEEI.com the former MVP received second and third opinions from doctors who confirmed the initial diagnosis.
Pedroia is currently wearing a cast on his hand, but made a big deal about what a quick healer he's always been and told reporters he expects to be back in the Red Sox's lineup in "a few weeks."
Of course, prior to suffering the new thumb injury Pedroia had been playing through a partially torn muscle in the same thumb since May and his production declined significantly, so he may want to take a little extra time off to make sure he's healed before returning at less than full strength again.
- JustMeMike - Jul 8, 2012 at 12:33 PM
Must be a quick healer –
in 2010 he played in 75 games and didn't play in 87
in 2012 he played in 74 games and didn't play in 88
maybe he's not so quick to heal. After all he is getting older. One can admire the spirit.
Or one can be reminded about how his rushing back to play (after quickly 'healing') last year worked out for him.
- pisano - Jul 8, 2012 at 12:48 PM
Short man complex.
- theskinsman - Jul 8, 2012 at 1:21 PM
He's got the spirit and shows such effort that the Red Sox need him to play…when he's healthy. Everyone who isn't dead is getting older.It's not like he's Jeter's age. While it's been extremely frustrating to be a Red Sox fan again this season,I'm more than pleased by the quality of the kids they've called up.The future looks good, the present, not so much.

Nice addition
Reviewed: 20 June 2015 by rec96, a Straight Going Steady Male
This item is perfect little gift. Looks lovely and comes in a nice box.
The item itself has a good feel to it smooth on the skin, and the temperature increases the pleasure of a massage.
Recommend using a fragrant oil as the warmth also increases the scent, which also adds to enjoyment of the massage.
The heart shape allows it to fit comfortable in the palm of your hand, making it easy to use with precision.
- Pros
- The looks.
- Cons
- Nothing.
- Bottom line
- Nice item.

This is the perfect addition for any massage session. It starts very hot, but it's not unbearable, and it has pretty good longevity, staying at a comfortable temperature.
It feels like your average plastic heating/cooling pad and it's otherwise a fool-proof item. All you need to do is snap the tab drifting inside and wait for it to heat up. It will get denser as the reaction occurs, but it's still very soft and flexible. To reset it, wait for it to cool, put in in boiling water and let it revert to its original texture.
My partner and I have used it multiple times and it does seem to get a bit weaker each time, but it's well worth the price. Perfect for everyone and if you're not sure or confident in your massage skills, this is a wonderful aid.
- Pros
- Plenty of heat, soft and gentle, easy to use.
- Cons
- It gets slightly weaker with each use.
- Bottom line
- I would buy it again. One for each hand.

Loved it, very good quality and really adds to sensual massage
Reviewed: 13 March 2015 by Sexkitten86, a Straight Married Female
This product is extremely well made and good quality. The value for money is definitely there as it is really easy to reuse.
It's aesthetically pleasing with the lovely Lovehoney heart on it as pictured.
On first use, the heart heats up very rapidly. Probably within 1-2 minutes, if even that. You can actually see the chemical reaction spread across the gel. The clip that initiates reaction, is very easy to locate and use.
Personally, I found the final temperature achieved very soothing without being too hot. Always test first, though.
The massager becomes firm very quickly - making the massage giver's job a lot easier. All you have to do is put some firm pressure through product as you move it around, and the product does a lot of the work for you.
The massager is waterproof and excellent for use with massage oils. It washes easily after use.
On second use, it was easy to heat up with boiling water.
I simply love this cute and very versatile product. I would definitely recommend - ticks all the boxes for a massager.
- Pros
- Excellent quality. Reusable. Waterproof. Fast heating.
- Cons
- Nothing.
- Bottom line
- Fab product. Purchase one and you won't regret it.

Great item, works wonderfully

I absolutely love my warming heart!
It is very convenient, and so nice that you can reuse it multiple times!
I love to use it when I get home from work and am sore, it feels great on my aching muscles. And it's nice to use with some massaging oil and rubbed on your back.
- Pros
- How hot it gets, how well it works, that it's reusable.
- Cons
- The rough edges along the sides.

These are cute
Reviewed: 12 October 2014 by slizzee, a Bisexual Engaged Female
I got one in the 3 for £10 offer, and after using it just twice, was so impressed I got another four more to put in my bridesmaids' gift bags for my upcoming hen night. These are a steal, even at full price.
They are pretty cute, and about the size of your palm. I bought them on a whim, whilst I was miserable with period cramps one evening. My line of work requires me to hunch over and stretch in an odd position for much of the day - causing some back pain and often sore shoulder blades. It's why I use a hot water bottle most nights. But since I got this, I've literally just been using this.
It's so quick - just snap the disc, and like magic, the entire massager hardens up and heats up. I was so mesmerised the first time I saw this I rushed to call my fiancé and he spent a good time trying to figure out the science of it (needless to say, he wasn't any the wiser by the end of it!).
So does it last a whole 30 minutes? Almost, but it depends on how you use it. I have only used it to place on my belly when I have cramps or on sore places on my back. It really makes things quite cosy when you are lying in bed with this warming up your tummy.
When I see my OH again, we will try a hot massage with it. Although I am sure it will serve that purpose quite well, I can imagine that it would be very slick and firm if you use it with massage oil.
There are a few small cons though. I am not a very strong lady, and the metal disc inside it is very rigid and it took me several tries to snap it - all the while I was fearful that I might tear the outer plastic covering as I felt like I was pushing on it so hard.
The edges of the plastic can sometimes feel a little sharp and scratchy, but if you are careful to only use the flat side of the massager this isn't really an issue.
After it cooled and hardened to a rock-like consistency. I did try just placing it in a saucepan of water just boiled from the kettle, but this did not work - you have to actually put it on the hob and boil the water for 5-10 minutes for the crystals to dissolve.
If you don't wait for all the crystals to fully dissolve, it will harden again, so be patient. But then again, if you have just boiled it, the gel retains the heat and stays remarkably warm for quite some time - so you don't even have to snap the disc straight after boiling it.
For the price, this is a wonderful little innovation. If ever mine stops working, I wouldn't hesitate to buy another one (or two!).
- Pros
- So inexpensive for what it does!
- Cons
- The fact that you have to boil it to reuse it.
- Bottom line
- Brilliant. Everyone should own one.

In their final scheduled debate, Arkansas' two major-party candidates for the U.S. Senate vigorously slashed each other on Social Security and Medicare issues. "The game plans for both men were plain as day — [Rep. Tom] Cotton repeatedly tied [Sen. Mark] Pryor to President Obama, while Pryor said Cotton was beholden to big-money interests who didn't share the same goals as Arkansans," a visiting newspaper columnist wrote of the Oct. 14 exchange in Fayetteville. In contrast to recent Senate debates in other …

In the endless search to make sense of American politics, scientists have determined that smell matters. Individuals who are attracted to the body odor of others (including spouses), it turns out, are more likely to share their political and ideological views. This from a new study ("Assortative Mating on Ideology Could Operate Through Olfactory Cues") published in the American Journal of Political Science. >> AARP Voter Education Guide The three authors of the study write that olfaction — the sense …

Another year, another last-minute "doc fix" by Congress. Am I the only one starting to feel a little like Bill Murray in the 1993 comedy Groundhog Day? On March 31, just one day before Medicare payments to doctors would have been slashed by 24 percent, Congress approved a short-term patch to delay the payment cuts for another year. This is the 17th time in 11 years that Congress has had to delay the Medicare reimbursement cuts created by SGR (the …

Both our children attend Washington school and they love it. They have had wonderful teachers. they are looking forward to the new school year.
My son is attending the Kindergarten here this year 2011-2012. I attended Washington Years ago and feel that the teachers are still very involved engaging and that the school is clean well maintained and feels very safe. If I had any complaints it would be other parents children teaching my son words that he would not have learned at home. The teacher has been very good about discussing all issues with us on that regard and is very thoughtful with the class and getting the parents involved. I am still a fan of the school and it is because it has been so well maintained academically and visually all these years.
Our experience with Washington has been varied dependent on the teachers. They've ranged from great to bad - yelling complaining to students about parent complaints in class inconsistency lack of organization. GATE program was pretty useless and seems to be gone this year without any notification. When you ask teachers/admin questions to which they should know the answers they just say they don't know and won't bother to find out or direct you to someone who does know. There's a new principal this year (2010-11) and things are a bit disorganized but she's more personable than the last. In general academics are mediocre and all teaching is preparation for standardized testing (they're given benchmark tests pre-tests and prep tests all year long to the detriment of learning anything but this is not school-specific) teachers are hit or miss and administration could work on communication and dissemination of information. It's par for the area.
Big Class sizes! 29 kids to 1 teacher is not a good ratio. My daughter attended Kindergarten here 3/4 of the way I pulled her out. She was bored at the constant review because other kids could not grasp what was being taught.
I feel it's a great school.Feels like a small tight community and our family really enjoys the teachers and all that the PTA does.
The staff is wonderful. My daughters love their school and their teachers.
My kindergartener looks forward to school everyday which makes me so happy the teachers are great -- her's is so sweet and calm has a very kind voice which i think is the way kindergarten teachers should be my little girl just adores her teacher.
my son loves going to school and i love that he is happy every day )about it
Tons of parents are involved...bringing in needed items driving on field trips. Music was limited to a Christmas show for parents. There is running club 2 days a week when the weather is nice my child has really enjoyed this. There is an after school program although the waiting list is extremely long and is going to start leaning towards children that need extra help with schoolwork. My child was doing wonderfully when starting at this school now I see handwriting that has gotten worse instead of improving a loss of interest in math homework and most recently in even going to school. I am very concerned about getting the attention of my child back to learning instead of coping with the school atmosphere that is created here. I would not be comfortable recommending this school to another parent or having my child attending this school next year.
I have no complaints so far on the teachers we have experencied at this school. My son is in fifth grade and has attended the school for the last 3 years. However the school does not have a positive approach to bullying. My son has been bullied all year by a group of boys and nothing has been done. I took the issue to the principal and she did not handle the situation in the manner she advised me she would. Instead she approached my child in front of his bullier and other boys and discussed it making my child feel extremly uncomfortable and uneasy about the situation. Needless to say the problem has continued and i just again had to take it to the school. I am now putting my youngest child in another school for Kindergarten. I would not recommend this school to another parent now.
This school is okay. There seems to be little consisteration for families and the students. It seems importance is placed on the inconvience of school staff. The teachers are good but not great.
This school has a wonderful friendly environment.
I have been involved with Washington School for four years now. I felt the kindergarten classes were not the strongest in the district but each year since then the teachers have been extremely motivated and knowledgeable and my children love to come to school everyday. They don't like days off because it means missing school! There's a strong emphasis on music within the curriculum and the principal loves to play and sing with the students. Even his mother accompanies singers on the piano. Warm and friendly atmosphere. I'm very lucky my children can experience this elementary school.
Solid academics. Highest quality teachers. Safe and accountable. Good music program 4th & 5th. Stong PTA and parent involvement. GATE and well structured afterschool program.
Wow! is what I have to say about Washington school. My daughters learning was off the scale. She learned to read write and learned math and spanish too - this is kindigarden were talking about here - thank you washington school
My daughter will be in 2nd grade at Washington this year. The teachers are dedicated patient talented and amazing. Wonderful principal! I'm so happy we chose this school (out of all the schools when we moved up here from the SF Bay Area). Better than the schools in the Bay Area!
I have had children at Washington School for the past ten years. I have found the teachers and staff skilled in their teaching while providing a nurturing safe and healthy environment. The school has also implemented the Healthy Play program. Additionally there are a variety of enrichment classes clubs and tutoring help is available.

Dayton opens bids for overlay project
Date posted: May 7, 2014
DAYTON — Dayton Town Council opened bids for an overlay paving project at its meeting Monday night. It will award the project in a special meeting at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday at Town Hall.
One bid for the South Fork Avenue overlay project was received from ICM for $130,054, Mayor Bob Wood said. The bid was presented to the town's engineer, received approval and will be accepted Wednesday. ICM will then have 60 days to start the project.
"Our hopes are that they will start immediately and get it done in the spring before all the big activities come up," Wood said. "We've been very pleased with ICM in the past. We have a good relationship with them, and they've done a great job in the past."
The council also approved the first reading of Ordinance #386.
The ordinance will amend the water and sewer ordinance to eliminate penalty fees for late payments on water and sewer bills. Wood said he didn't think the town had ever collected the late fee and now has a system where water is shut off after a given period if the payment is late. The person must then pay the reconnection fee to re-establish water service.
The change was made at the request of the town's auditor who said the town either needed to collect the fee or eliminate it. The ordinance will require two more readings to pass.
In other business, Dayton Town Council reviewed the preliminary budget for fiscal year 2014-2015 and voted to have the budget prepared as currently written for first reading on May 21. The final two readings of the budget will be held in June.

Fit Finish Durability Features Cost Benefit good unit everything was fine other than a few bolts were too short for my 95 Magna.... Bud G. - September 05, 2012 (Gold Beach, OR) Fit Finish Durability Features Cost Benefit Worth it in my opinion Cleaned up the look significantly! Bolts were too short for all the bracketing but an easy fix at a hardware store. Took it on a trip to MI (450 miles) and not one issue so far. I used lock tight on the bolts to make sure they wouldn't come apart. Worth the money! Matt - August 09, 2012 (Sidney, OH) Fit Finish Durability Features Cost Benefit Saddlebags Nice bags. Smaller than I thought they would be. I like the velcro tops that keep the tight fit. But after a few days on my bike they kinda sunk in. Larry - July 12, 2012 (Ft Wayne , IN) Fit Finish Durability Features Cost Benefit buy custom ones i have a 2009 suzuki boulevard, the bolts that came with the kit didn't fit it. so if i wanted to use the this kit, i would have to spend about another $25 in metric bolts. so but the brackets made for your bike. it was well worth the extra few bucks larry - June 29, 2012 (ft wayne, IN) Fit Finish Durability Features Cost Benefit Black Finnish - Willie & Max mount Rating the Fit a 4 because of the trip to the hardware store. I bought this mount kit to match my Vulcan 900 SE Black. I didn't want chrome and the black finish is not as obvious for when I do not use my bags. Works as intended. Just used to support my MotoCentric Cruiser Slanted Saddlebags on a trip to Sturgis. Lisa S - September 26, 2011 (Denver, CO) Fit Finish Durability Features Cost Benefit Bottom Line--it worked! After reading the reviews on this mounting kit, I cheated and took the bags and mounting kit to my local shop. They had to use extra hardware and washers, and loctite to keep the bolts tight. Drilling was pretty tight as well. Despite this, they said the kit was solid and well made. I confirmed this on a multi-state ride with the bags attached. Zero problems, no shaking or vibration, nothing came loose. For the price, you can't wrong. Joe R. - August 31, 2011 (Livermore, CA) Fit Finish Durability Features Cost Benefit Works with Willie and Max bag but cheap looking. Easy to install after a trip to the hardware store. Bolts did not fit my bike (97 Honda Shadow 1100). Hardware looks cheap. Works with Willie and Max bags if you want to hard mount. You will need a good imagination to get it to work well with the bags. Jeremy - September 23, 2010 (Yucca Valley, CA) Fit Finish Durability Features Cost Benefit Plan on extra hardware! The 10mm bolts have too coarse a thread for my '99 Honda VT1100D2. I will have to go to a specialty hardware store to get the correct ones. Extra trip plus extra money no cost benefit and no way to measure durability at this point. Ira F - June 14, 2010 (Ruckersville, VA) Fit Finish Durability Features Cost Benefit Saddlebag Mount Kit The fender bolts that came with the kit were far to short to fit my Suzuki C-50. I had get bolts that were almost an inch larger. The whole process took almost 3 hours on the first bag and about 1 1/2 hrs on the second bag. I decided to get these mounts because I didn't want the yolks from my saddlebags showing. Even w/ my initial issues, I would still go this route in the future. M Rogers - September 18, 2008 (Olympia, WA) Fit Finish Durability Features Cost Benefit Willie and Max - Saddlebag Hard Mount Kit I am so impressed with this kit. As soon as I got it all together, I found that it's a lot stronger of a mount and has offered a MUCH greater amount of storage on the bike. No more flapping in the wind, no more having to fight with the passenger pad. I'm extremely happy with this. Thank you for having this item! Carl Harper - June 02, 2008 (Redford, MI) Fit Finish Durability Features Cost Benefit Simple Hard Mount Kit I installed them on my 05 V-Star 1100 Classic and Saddleman Large Drifter bags. All hardware and directions made for a 2 hr. install. Take your time and follow the directions and you will have no problems. My only concern is will the bolt heads pull through the sides of the bags (2 bolts mounted so close to the edge of the bags that I could not use a washer on them). Only time and usage will tell. So far no problems but the riding season has just begun and I haven't loaded the bags for a trip yet. More to follow. Duane - April 10, 2008 (Howard City, MI) Fit Finish Durability Features Cost Benefit Willie & Max Saddlebag Mount Kit The kit works really well and was easy to install on my Honda VTX 1800 C. I did have to buy 4 extra length 10 mm bolts but that was no problem. I can see where this product would be totally universal for most all bikes. James Hall - August 09, 2007 (Memphis, IN) Fit Finish Durability Features Cost Benefit Hi Works just fine with my bike. So far I like them but I have not tested it for more than 1 hour. Dixie - August 09, 2007 (Spanish Fork, UT) Fit Finish Durability Features Cost Benefit Willie & Max Hard mount Kit Was a farily easy to assemble. But one of the hole in the Uprights was to small for its Head barrell bolt assembly. I had to use a large drill bit to take out a smidge to get it to fit or return it for another which would have taken a few weeks. Also no matter how i tighten it. It vibrates loose and the i have lost one the hex barrel bolt assembly pieces. I constantly have to look after long rides and check to see if it needs tightening. Not happy with it.

It's a bit tricky, there are two versions of the psu i have, one of them have weaker 12v rails but both are 600w. Mine is the one rated at 20a on each (again thats peak performance). On the product page it does not say how much watt is on the 12v rails but I know it's listed on the psu so Im gonna calculate more exactly when I get home. Still I'm thinking it's cutting it close, I also have 3 hdd's, dvd burner, 3x 120mm fans and one 80mm, some lights and the x-fi in in there.
EDIT: Gonna see if I can find those psu's on the swedish online shopping sites and compare some prices.

1. Exposure determines shadow details. Take a roll of film and expose it in the kind of lighting you are most likely to work. Bracket plus and minus one stop. Develop normal.
2. Examine these negatives, or better yet - print them, and see which of the negatives give you the shadow density you want. Forget about highlight for now.
3. Expose another roll at the setting you decided gave best shadow details.
4. Cut roll in thirds. Develop one third at 25% less than the recommended time, one third at the recommended time, and the last third at 25% more than the recommended time.
5. Examine these negatives, and see which gives both highlight and shadow densities you seek.
With two rolls and some work you have tested to see what camera/meter settings and developing duration you need to get what you want. It really is that simple.
Your camera's shutter accuracy, your meter's accuracy, your metering technique, the developer, developer dilution, developer temperature, agitation, even local water quality - all of these factor into your end results and is a unique set of parameters for your method. Nobody else does it exactly the same way.
Think about that.
My philosophy - underexposed, overexposed, underdeveloped, overdeveloped - these are all relative terms. Find the combination of exposure and development that works for you and you have - perfect exposure and perfect development. Nothing else matters.

Phil Jackson is a very smart man, so he probably already knows this. But in case not, in case he's tempted by the lavish sums the Brooklyn Nets' billionaire owner might fling at him in the coming week or the burning urge to rush into his revenge against the Los Angeles Lakers for hiring someone else this season, here's some sound advice. Do not come back this season, Phil. Put that Zen stuff to good use. Use patience, wisdom and self-awareness and understand it's in your best interest to sit on those 11 rings and wait until the 2013-14 season to take over a head-coaching job with any NBA franchise, particularly the Nets. League sources have confirmed to FOXSports.com the multiple reports that Jackson, the former Chicago Bulls and Los Angeles Lakers head coach, is the sole target of the Brooklyn Nets head-coaching search after the team fired Avery Johnson last week. These sources believe Nets owner and Russian billionaire Mikhail Prokhorov will meet in Europe with his inner circle...

Highly Recommend!
I bought this for my boyfriend. He works outdoors, in rural Alaska, and being warm but comfortable is a must. It's a good fit, holds up well, and keeps him warm. He loves anything Merino wool.
He also looks great in this shirt on a casual night out!

ELIAS: Health plan rate hikes spotlight bad blood on the left
A loud hissing contest on California's left political flank began weeks before the state's largest health insurance companies announced the other day they plan to raise average rates by 8 percent to 14 percent for thousands of consumers with individual policies ---- well over twice the 3.6 percent increase in their annual costs.
The fact no one in government can stop those increases spotlights the tiff between two longtime major figures ---- both of whom call themselves "progressives" ---- in a war of words that shows, for one thing, how different Democrats are from Republicans. The names are Harvey Rosenfield and Steve Maviglio.
The roots of this grudge go back to at least 2008. Longtime consumer activist Rosenfield and his Consumer Watchdog organization back then opposed a $14 billion measure requiring uninsured Californians to get health coverage, with many policies to be state-subsidized. Universal insurance is a longtime Rosenfield goal, but he says he fought this bill ---- sponsored by then-Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger and then-Assembly Speaker Fabian Nunez ---- because it did not allow for price regulation.
Maviglio, who came to California as press secretary for ex-Gov. Gray Davis and later had similar jobs with Nunez and his successor as speaker, Karen Bass, worked hard for the bill. He claimed Rosenfield, best known for writing 1987's Proposition 103, which mandates strict rate regulation for almost every kind of insurance except health, opposed the bill solely because it did not include "intervenor fees," money paid to those who help reduce or thwart rate hikes. The fees exist so rate increase opponents can hire comparable legal and consulting talent to what insurance companies ordinarily deploy.
Last fall, three years later, Rosenfield and Consumer Watchdog pushed legislation to put health insurance under the same rate regulations as other coverage, and Maviglio opposed it. That bill won only 14 votes in the state Senate, nowhere near enough for passage. Consumer Watchdog then began an initiative campaign.
Enter Maviglio. He launched a website called consumerwatchdogwatch.com, which now turns up ahead of Consumer Watchdog's own website on the Google search engine. He insists he's been paid nothing for opposing the Santa Monica-based Consumer Watchdog and personally foots all bills for advantageous treatment on Google.
"Simply put, Consumer Watchdog is an affront to legitimate consumer organizations," said Maviglio, who now runs his own political consulting firm, Sacramento-based Forza Communications, and refused to disclose either his client list or his earnings. "It's a group that is all about its own self-interest ..."
Meanwhile, other consumer groups have not complained about Consumer Watchdog (formerly the Foundation for Taxpayer and Consumer Rights). By itself, Proposition 103 has saved consumers an estimated $2 billion since 2000 in proposed insurance rate hikes that didn't happen. Consumer Watchdog, meanwhile, got about $2 million in intervenor fees for helping hold premiums down. That's about 25 cents for every $100 the group has saved California drivers, homeowners and businesses, the group calculates. Consumer Watchdog has pulled in far more from contingency fees earned while opposing allegedly illegal practices of major corporations in court.

Re: Problem
The levels after the demo level are a little more demanding and also a little larger and I guess the AA hit is larger as well. So far I've been playing at 1080p (with 4AF, no AA) with Gaco's 1.1 config and just started the Awakening level. Performance has been always playable and enjoyable, no major difference to the demo level performance wise. High levels of AF and AA most likely do cause a bigger performance hit in these levels. Try the levels with lower amount of AA (or none) and it should perform similar like the demo level and if it doesn't there might indeed be an issue somewhere.
What are your ingame settings or do you use a custom config, whats your driver and OS?
