CAMP ATTERBURY JOINT MANEUVER TRAINING CENTER, Ind., Aug. 13, 2010 The installation support unit safety officer here is competing in this year's Scottish Highland Games 2010 Masters World Championships in Colorado's Rocky Mountains to honor the memory of his wife, who died in October.
"It gives me a way to keep my wife's heritage alive," Army Maj. Kenneth Knight said. "It's a way to stay close to her."
While earning his Bachelor of Science degree in history from the College of the Cumberlands in Kentucky, Knight met his wife in the late 1980s. The college sweethearts were married in 1991.
Knight's wife began researching her genealogy and found she had Scottish blood on both sides of her family as well as certain levels of Bruce family royalty. This sparked their interest, the major said, and they began researching Scottish games, rules and guidelines.
The games started sometime around the 15th century, when Scotland was conquered by Great Britain. The Scots weren't allowed to practice with weapons due to fear of revolt, so they used everyday items such as rocks, hammers, stakes and logs in competition to see who was the strongest and fastest and who would take the role of protecting clan chiefs. In modern times, the feats have become sport, with participants across the world competing.
Knight and his wife traveled together, learning and participating in different Scottish sporting events. They developed their own unique family kilt. He even constructed his own homemade equipment using chains, weights and rocks.
Common events in the competitions include the "hammer throw," "weight throw" and the "sheath throw," which essentially is a 20-pound bundle of straw tossed for distance with a pitchfork.
"It's a very inexpensive sport in a sense," Knight said, noting that the traditional sport stays true to its roots, created with whatever the Scottish people had on hand.
Knight said he practiced his throws in his backyard regularly until something happened that put an end to that. "I put a hole in the side of the house," he recalled, laughing. "After that, the wife was like, 'You're done!' Now I go out to a field at my kid's elementary school and throw out there."
Knight shared his commitment to the sport with his wife, who filmed his practices. They would spend hours together studying video of Knight throwing, analyzing his form and contrasting it with video of professionals.
"It was a team partnership, said Knight. "She would always go to all of the competitions with me. It was a family affair. She got a chance to talk to the other wives, make new friends and have a good time learning the Scottish culture. We took the kids, and they loved it also."
He and his wife stayed at it.
"My first year was spent really getting introduced to the sport and learning techniques from other competitors and some of the pros," he said. He's proven to be somewhat of a natural, placing 12th worldwide in his division. He has created a stir in the Scottish games world and was invited to this year's championships.
"My first games were a lot of fun," Knight said. "I had to compete against a couple of world champions at my first one. I beat them at the first event, which caught their eye. They were like, 'Who's this guy?' I ended up in fifth place out of 10 guys in that competition. They started showing me some techniques."
Knight competed in eight more games that season. His wife became ill and died Oct. 11, three days before his birthday. This year, Knight plans on improving his skill and competing in her memory.
Between his Army duties here and raising his four children on his own, Knight studies and travels to compete in his sport several times a year. He even has his children and his brother-in-law involved, practicing with him.
"It's a gentlemen's and a family sport," Knight said, noting that people 16 through 70 are welcome to participate.
Knight said he plans to keep up with the sport until he is an old man and can't throw any more. Meanwhile, he said, he'll compete to keep his wife's memory alive.
"This year is her memorial season," he said. "I'm just going to continue celebrating her."

The African continent serves up remarkable adventures for kids, from clinging to giant wings on a South African ostrich ride to learning the art of spear-chucking from a real Masai warrior.
For Kent Redding and Kelly McElroy, taking the kids on safari is second nature – their first Africa trip as parents involved the Serengeti and their then-seven-month-old son swathed in mosquito netting.
Africa still offers enough unique kid-accessible opportunities to suit any family, assures Redding, who is president and co-founder with McElroy of safari outfitterAfrica Adventure Consultants . And "unlike certain amusement park vacations where parents suffer through it so the kids can have fun, the wonderful part of family safaris is everybody has fun," he adds.
Redding, McElroy, and their sons Tate and Grady, then 7 and 8, enjoyed a summer 2012 family safari odyssey that added some new ideas to Redding's ever-growing "best things to do in Africa with kids" list, as well as allowing the boys to come home with exotic material for their "What I did on my summer vacation" essays.
Here, Redding shares his top 15 picks for unexpected and kid-friendly African safari activities and destinations:
- Ride an ostrich, Oudtshoorn, South Africa: Two farms in this area known as the "ostrich capital of the world" offer ostrich-oriented tours complete with a not-for-the-timid chance to saddle up one of these tallest living birds on the planet. Keep your video camera handy.
- Sail in a traditional dhow in the Indian Ocean, Zanzibar, Tanzania: Catch a ride in one of these wooden sailing vessels, originally used for trading, as they ply the waters around Zanzibar.
- Feed a giraffe at the Giraffe Centre, Nairobi, Kenya: A special raised platform allows visitors to comfortably feed the animals while getting a giraffe's-eye view of this nature center founded by the African Fund for Endangered Wildlife Kenya to rescue endangered Rothschild giraffes.
- Throw a spear like a Masai, Masai Mara, Kenya: Take a spear-throwing lesson from a Masai warrior while learning to appreciate the very different perspective of these warm and hospitable herding people
- Ride ponies to a waterfall, Malealea, Lesotho: Trek aboard nimble native Basuto ponies to a high waterfall in this off-the-beaten-path tiny mountain kingdom, experiencing the local herding culture firsthand along the way.
- Climb "Big Daddy" near Sossusvlei, Namib-Naukluft National Park, Namibia: The Sossusvlei sand dunes are the highest in the world, with "Big Daddy" creating an Everest-like challenge for little feet.
- Snorkel to see cichlids (the colorful fish found in many aquariums) in Lake Malawi, Malawi: Crystalline waters without a chance of sharks and over 1,000 species of vibrant cichlids make this freshwater lake a perfect experience for beginning snorkelers.
- Ride the cable car to the top of Table Mountain, Cape Town, South Africa: Often the highlight of a Cape Town visit for kids, this four-minute ride provides dramatic views from atop Table Mountain.
- Make a casting of a lion print, Madikwe Game Reserve, South Africa: Preserving a paw-print souvenir is a great way for kids to bring the amazing experience of seeing a lion in the wild home to share with friends.
- Visit an elementary school classroom, Mfuwe, Zambia: Kids love meeting other kids and theUyoba Community School in this small Zambian village continues to evolve, with the support of Africa Hope Fund, from children sitting on the floor with no electricity to a more modern building with trained teachers.
- "Mark" your territory like a lion, Serengeti, Tanzania: Most fun for boys who can make their mark on the savannah as male lions do.
- Ride horses and visit the petting farm, Grootbos Nature Reserve, South Africa: Experienced riders can gallop on a nearby beach, but all kids will enjoy the brief novice ride and the chance to visit Grootbos's sweet animal nursery, complete with chickens, bunnies, a miniature horse and a very fat pig.
- Fish for tiger fish, Zambezi River, Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe: Anglers come from all over the world for their chance at these fierce game fish and kids love to get in on the action.
- Visit Monkeyland, Plettenberg Bay, South Africa: Enjoy entertaining inhabitants from squirrel monkeys to gibbons to lemurs at this refuge for abandoned primates. While touristy, this area is home to so many kid-friendly attractions that a family could easily spend a week enjoying activities from bungee jumps to a wolf sanctuary.
- Try traditional drumming, most destinations in East and Southern Africa: Kids will want to try their hand at the primal rhythms of drumming, the backbone of traditional African music and communication.
Despite the remarkable opportunities on offer for kids of all ages throughout Africa, AAC's Redding stresses that one of his top rules for traveling with kids is not to try to do too much.
"Be sure and build flex time into the schedule so kids can take a break with simple pleasures like an energy-releasing run on the beach before a long game drive."
Another tip?
"Go with the largest accommodations you can afford, keeping an eye out for options like kitchenettes. You'll never complain about having too much room."
And finally, when it comes to family travel, always expect – and learn to enjoy – the unexpected.

You have to use cios 236 etc. to install the other cios's through the wadmanager etc.
3.1 D2x installer is the latest as well.
You are not doing anything wrong from what I am reading.
Those cios's I linked you to are the same cios's that are installed on two other wii's that run perfect w/Usb Loading.
This is starting to sound more like your HDD became corrupted.
First ,Try a re-ripping the games.(If this don't work ..)
Second,Try re-formatting your HDD?
Do you have links for a WFBS hard drive formatting and Backup Manager for the the PC? The one I had all that stuff on is currently not working and I did it all like a year ago.
Thanks again so much. I'll get on this project and update you later.
Follow this guide right here.Fat32 Guide.
This guide has everything you will need to transfer games from the pc to the wii and will also walk you through the reformatting to fat32.
Hey folks,
- Back in 2008 my friend used twilight hack to mod my Wii. Not knowing a dang thing what it entailed, I just let him do whatever it took to get that Wii modded without hacking interest. After it was modded every now and then he would tell me to download this and that to keep it updated. It's been great. I'm using Configurable USB loader and Playing as many VC as pleased.
- My friend told me to download "Pimp My Wii" to keep everything updated including ios and channels. After the update i noticed that over half of my VC games had a "Failed Launch". I deleted the ones that didnt work anymore, and tried reinstalling with Wad Manager 1.7. After re-installation attempts I got errors "Error (-1029) OR (-1022)" with several LoZ games and many more. I used Multi-Mod Manager to regain a ton of titles but my library is still lacking the important ones, due to the same errors from Wad Manager. Please help, Wiihack public intellects...
- I also was thinking about dubbing my wii to virgin and starting fresh using one of the great guides on this site but one thing at a time, I want understand this.

Try re-soft modding your wii with the Soft Mod Any Wii Guide, Link is at the bottom of my signature.
Start from soft mod with homebrew channel installed.
Since you have boot2 installed you could just re-install your bootmii back-up and then do the soft mod again.
Stay away from Pimp my wii or you can brick your wii.
Happens as expected but whenever I try to launch bootmii from HBC menu, nothing happens (the TV screen goes black, and the Wii led flashes blue). I will reply back if he somehow finds them, but right now i dont know if i have any other alternatives.
*I correctly modded my roommate's Wii and have his backups on my old computer, but that probably wont work because the back ups are console specific, right?*
nothing like a friend to leave you hanging...my friend doesn't remember what he did with my backup files.
Just follow the anywii guide. Do everything in it, skip nothing. You can use the "other desperate options ->Boot2" exploit to get started. Install the optional IOS pack as well.
While you can (and should) make a NAND backup before softmodding, since you have bootmii as boot2, you should also make another after softmodding, so that if all hell breaks loose you can restore that.
And as others have said, please refrain from using pimp my wii.

CEOh-SNAP: AT&T Says (Again!) iPhone Exclusivity Will End
AT&T CEO Ralph de la Vega stated that his carrier's exclusive agreement to sell Apple's iPhone in the US... will end one day. Of course, we knew this. You knew this. AT&T and Apple knew this. Everybody knew this, because they've said it before. Still, on the eve of a highly successful quarterly results report, where the iPhone once again carrier the day for AT&T earnings, they obviously felt the need to say it again:
"We have a legacy of having a great portfolio…that will continue after the iPhone is no longer exclusive to us. We think we will continue after the iPhone…to drive [results]…." [...] "we feel really good about our non-iPhone [subscriber] adds and net adds…. We feel really strong about our portfolio in quick messaging devices, including BlackBerry and all the smartphones." [...] "Even if we lose exclusivity [of the iPhone], we will be the only carrier with HSPA 7.2 [a network specification being deployed at AT&T] and [new devices] will work on our network faster. I feel as strongly as ever [about] the capability of devices in our lineup and [am] super-excited about the deals with e-readers and personal navigation devices."
Apparently, like Verizon, AT&T will seek post-iPhone solace in much more carrier-control friendly Android...

CEOh-SNAP: AT&T Says (Again!) iPhone Exclusivity Will End
where else in the US will it go? Verizon is launching an all-out attack on Apple for the Droiddoes commericals apparently not caring about burning bridges...Tmobile definately cannot support it - just got 3G (in the US). Looks like the best candidate is Sprint...but that will be the day....they don't have the coverage or subscriber base Verizon does...Where does Apple go after AT&T?
It'll never go to Verizon for one simple reason, Apple won't let them emboss the Verizon logo on the front of the phone (or at least they shouldn't)
Don't mistake posturing for facts.
Everybody is bobbing and weaving right now. Att says we might lose exclusivity. Verizon says we don't really want it. T-Mobil is playing cards close to the vest (but they could easily adopt it contrary to your assertions). Sprint is trying to sell the company.
Its all for show, and what is REALLY happening is only known to the lawyers.
Do not mistake the puppet show they are putting on as the real course of events.
Oh boy, Sprint fanboys....
Sprint WONT get it. Why? Because they only have about 30 million postpaid CDMA customers. EVEN IF 10% of their customers buy an iphone (which ATT is at about- about 10 million out of 80 million customers), theyd only sell 3 million. ATT sold 3.2 million THIS QUARTER.
Itd make no financial sense to make a proprietary CDMA/WIMAX iphone to sell so few that no other carrier could even use.
Sprint is on its death bed. They are 20 billion in debt, negative 10% revenue growth per year and running a negative profit margin.
They are shopping the company around looking for buyers.
They aren't going to pick up the iPhone. They're looking for someone to pick THEM up.
And Apple could buy Sprint three times over with its pocket change. Now THAT might be an interesting turn of events.....
I'm just kind of stricken by the "We're the only carrier with 7.2Mbps 3G"
Did they forget that T-Mobile is rolling out (and according to Project Dark, quickly and expansively) 21Mbps HSPA?
Hmm, T-Mobile is already familiar with iPhone on their network. I could see it going this way.
But then again as icebike said, there's no definite stuff out there. So it will be good to wait and see.
That doesn't make sense ATT isnt going anywhere without the iphone. Remember they are more than just a wirless company and have several other means of supporting the wireless side of the company. In fact if I'm not mistaken they are owned by a much larger company (SBC) and they aren't going anywhere. ATT may see a drop in revenue after the iphone contracts for their customers end but it will only be until the next major phone comes to their carrier. I'm sure the manufacturers are looking at the success apple sees with the iphone and may want to jump at the chance to sell their product through a company that was so succesful with the launch of the iphone.
What ever cellular phone company Apple Co. chooses will profit if Apple continues it sucess. A mojority of people including me will jump ship to follow the iPhone. AT&T sucks and I promise you I'm gone when the iPhone leaves. I'm with AT&T for the phone not the service just like the mojority of the iPhone users.
AT&T sucks so bad in NY. I can't wait to leave my rotten carrier.
3 dropped calls a day. It's routine by now. Sad.
I never understand why people say ATT is a bad network. I have been with ATT for 4 years and have never had any major concerns. I used to have Verizon before, now there service was decent but I had switched to ATT when I saw there phone slection was better.
I got the Iphone 3gs when it came out and have loved it. As far as MMS taking so long, who cares thats why I have email. ATT is fine in my area (Atlanta) and I also had great coverage while I lived in San Diego and Philadelpia. For me I don't see any other company able to handle the traffic the IPhone will bring. Sprint is a joke, T Moible 3g service is not up tomorrow. Verizon I just dont like they would want there name stamped all over it.
It doesn't really say it will. He says " even if we loose the iPhone" that isn't a definite we will Loose the iPhone
I will say this if anyone was to get it it would be tmobile. There new 21mbps network is gonna be almost fully out by this project dark and fully by the 2nd quarter of 2010. There 3G although gsm is a different freguency all apple would do is add a new frequency to the radio in the iPhone in version 4 coming out in the summer and now AT&T and t-mobile both sim card gsm companies have iPhone. Apple Will not make a CDMA version and verizon has burned it's bridges.
Yea ok Joesph lol
Only One of the big four to get it would be tmobile makes sense. Tmobile Germany already has a deal with apple. Much easier to add a frequency to the radio ( which it could probably pick up already ) then make a CDMA version. Tmobile parent company has alot of money and is making a huge infrastructure investment.
Summer 2010
Yea like I said omAri summer 2010 to tmobile.
The Wait Is Ova!!! I love Rihanna's new song!!! Russian Roulette!!!
Mikenmiami WTF you talkin about
If anything, I would want it to go to T-mo as Andrea Cristiano said.
Say what you want, but I have used three of the four carriers (have not had Verizon) and Sprint has been the best by a long shot for me. I stress the "for me" part, because it would be stupid to assume that people in different areas would all have the same coverage experience. But I have experience with Sprint, ATT and T-Mobile in Southern California from Ventura to San Diego, and Colorado along the whole Front Range, and without exception Sprint has been the best. Few if any dropped calls in those areas compared to ATT iphone and tmobile touch's.
Furthermore, while it is popular to rag on sprint for their poor customer service, I would bet that 90% of the whiners are people who were just relaying reports they had heard, or people who fail to realize that Sprint did have problems and they made huge changes to correct them. Over the last two years, I have had no customer service problems at all, have always been able to reach them quickly, and have always spoken to someone speaking plain english residing in this country. ATT tried for nearly 20 minutes, when I was calling to have my dead grandmother-in-laws phone canceled, to get me to keep it active because "maybe someone else would like to use it." Though they were totally aware that grandma just died, has no widow, and so forth, they wanted to put me on with their customer retention specialist.
In the end, Sprint has great coverage, great speeds, the best prices and packages, and great support barring usual exceptions.
I'm not ragging on sprint at all if they had a phone better than the iphone i would jump over in a heart beat.
It will be interesting to see what happens when AT&T loses iPhone exclusivity. Which carrier you have isn't always entirely a free choice for people; there is local coverage variability, but also carrier discounts that people get through work which play a big role. I'm curious to see if there will be a complete redistribution of iPhone users to different carriers or not.
@Chrisr1975: In my mind, the biggest problem with AT&T's 3G network is the fact that their coverage continues to be weakest in places of high population density, like NYC, Boston, and SF. Apparently the average iPhone call drop rate in NYC is around 30%. The fact that it is still so high represents a problem with their ability to put up enough infrastructure. Millions of people live in, regularly visit, or work in NYC. Insufficient network infrastructure in NYC means that consumers will avoid getting an AT&T phone or an AT&T data plan simply because of poor reliability.
I think Sprint has really picked things up in the last few years. I had sprint until last june when I switched to AT&T to get the iPhone. I left a sweet Sprint Sero deal to get the iPhone - I just could not stand WM devices anymore and was not really interested in Pre. I must say - I love the "i" part of the iPhone. As a device other than a phone it is the best portable device out there period. As a phone, one of the worst - probably because of how overloaded AT&T is. AT&T has been a complete nightmare for me. I dropped more calls in the first month wuth AT&T than I did in 10 years with sprint. People need to give Sprint more credit. The network (at least in Colorado, DC and Chicago where I have lived) was great. And, my wife has sprint in our condo building. Her phone works perfect - 3-4 bars all the time. My iphone - no service AT ALL. Not AT&T's fault per se (because verizon, t-mobile don't really work well there either) but Sprint is the only carrier that works in our building. Something to be said for Sprint.
Damn there a bunch of Sprint hating fucks on here....Do you know how stupid you sound saying that Apple will not give Sprint the iphone...
1.) the ATT exclusivity has sailed, if Apple was interested they would be made the announcement...
2.) Verizon NOT GETTING THE IPHONE....You dont blast APPLE in the media and expect to sell their products...Apple and Verizon are just TOOOOO Arrogant of companies to play nice.
3.) While I can see Apple releasing on T-MO, there 3G network is a JOKE to carry the 3GS or anything other then an Edge only device.
4.) Sprint has the best network next to Verizon to carry the iphone..Doesnt matter that Sprint only has 30million on CDMA...People will flock to Sprint if they land the iphone, people want off ATT so bad it kills them everytime that ATT bill comes. Sprint's EVDO network with an Iphone will KILL ALL!
You Sprint Haters really need to get a clue and your heads out of your ASSES!
Competition isn't always good for the consumer. Instead of all the carriers getting together and building one super network from coast to coast and then sharing it they all decided to build there own networks. Much more expensive to do and it reflects on plan prices. If you remember AT&T was TDMA before Cingular bought them. That was a total of 3 different technologies co-existing. We are far behind other countries when it comes to celluar. Video conferencing has been available for yrs but not yet in the US. Epic Fail for all the carriers
Bro apple is not making a CDMA iPhone just for America not gonna happen
You guys aren't looking at the big picture. Look outside of the United States. The iPhone is on multiple carriers, everywhere. That's going to happen here. Apple wants it's flagship product sold to as many people as it possibly can. I had one, got rid of it simply because in WI, their service sux big time. Tons of dropped calls and the slow data speeds. I picked up an HTC Hero and both of my issues were resolved.
So AT&T will lose exclusivity, but they won't stop selling the phone. They'll have it and someone else like T-Mobile or Sprint might be able to pick it up to sell it. I would prefer if both did. It just needs to come sooner rather than later.
I've actually gone through the Hero, the Palm Pre and now a Blackberry Tour. NONE of them have the ease of use that the iPhone does. But the service (FOR ME) can't be beat.
Apple needs to pick up their game though. Get the specs to compete or even rival what the Android phones that are now coming out with and it's a win win situation for everyone.
KeV ask yourself this question do any of those countries sell iPhone? Answer is NO so do your homework. There's a reason why they don't have one. APPLE ISNT MAKING ONE IMBECILE!! So do your homework tool
VZW has 87 million subs and Sprint has 48 million which adds up to 135 million people. That's 33% of the total population in America, of which a double digit percentage which get an iPhone immediately if offered by their carrier. For how long can apple ignore that pot of gold? Did Apple not start using Intel chips so mac users have the versatility to use both windows and the apple OS on one computer. Why? Because it made good business sense. There are no burned bridges when there's money to be made.
You don't seem to understand CDMA is a dying platform eventually 2015-2020 or so the CDMA will be gone even for voice at that point maybe we can see a verizon iPhone. The R&D to make a CDMA customer is to much. Besides how many millions are in Korea or the other few CDMA countries? They haven't realeased one in all the years it has been avaialble. Would it Not have made bussiness sense to offer a CDMA version all these years for them? You are also discounting how many people will jump to say t-mobile when they get theirs. For apple to add the 2100mhz frequency to the existing radio is pennies compared to completely remaking the iPhone for a dying technology. It's not worth making a phone for a technology that has a max 10 year shelf life when he majority of he world is GSM. That's bussiness sense my friend
Ps I know USA is not the only CDMA. If you read above you will see that if it was just about subscribers it would make sense and it should have been here. In the BIG picture the CDMA customers globally compared to GSM are a small minority especially that the CDMA tech is on it's way out. Another reason sprint won't get it as well, they are moving to a CDMA/wimax combo that no one will have.
Bro Rumor is just that rumor. I won't say where I know and how I know but rumors unfounded
Those are for an apple tablet genius.
The apple tablet will be launched with both CDMA and GSM antennas. So once again you stand corrected
As you assume I don't know. That is all well. You have no clue who I am or what I know. You taut your assumptions as fact and my facts as assumptions. Do as you will we will see in the end
I have been exploring for a little bit for any high quality articles or blog posts in this sort of house . Exploring in Yahoo I finally stumbled upon this site. Studying this information So i am glad to exhibit that I have an incredibly just right uncanny feeling I found out just what I needed. I so much indubitably will make certain to do not put out of your mind this web site and give it a glance a relentless basis.

Branding Toledo at the casinoWritten by Michael Miller | Editor in Chief Emeritus | firstname.lastname@example.com
The Hollywood Casino Toledo is magnificent. The décor, technology and customer service efforts rival anything in Lucas County.
One of the impressive elements of the casino is how carefully branded the word "Toledo" is. It's on the gaming tables, the cards, the card-shuffling machines and on most every surface. There are some local institutions that drop "Toledo" from their names but the casino embraces its host city.
One of the many electronic screens has an homage to Jamie Farr and his "M*A*S*H" legacy. In the private room of the Final Cut steakhouse (which features a spectacular glass-wall view of the river and trees), a Katie Holmes dress is displayed alongside outfits worn by Halle Berry, Elvis, Tony Curtis and Ann-Margret.
Toledo is shown respect in the casino and patrons will always know exactly which city they are visiting.
But there is another way the Hollywood Casino Toledo could honor the Glass City — by offering Toledo-themed games among its 2,000 slot machines. It's cool to have such movie-themed choices as "The Hangover," "Sex and the City" and the Toledo exclusive "Breakfast at Tiffany's" games, but here are some suggestions for more specific Toledo-themed slots.
- Mayors of Toledo: Each pull of the handle brings up three windows with rotating images of Toledo mayors past and present. Three Mayor Mike Bells or Donna Owenses or Charles M. Dorrs and you're a winner! If the windows show three Carty Finkbeiners, a casino attendant walks up to you, takes your remaining money and roughs you up a bit.
- City Council Word Scramble: The images of Toledo City Council members scroll by, while an audio quote from a recent meeting plays through the slot machine speakers. Match the face of the councilperson with the quote that is playing without breaking into laughter or tears and you win a free play on …
- Wheel of Suburbs: Grab that handle and watch the images of suburbs spin by. Match up Sylvania or Perrysburg and win. Hit three Ottawa Hills images and the jackpot pays double.
- Education Crapshoot: Place yer bet on your child's future and let the wheels spin. Hit matching private schools and graduate to the "College Roulette" machine. Hit three Toledo Public Schools images and your outcome could be anything from "dishwasher" or "newspaper columnist" on the low end to "CEO" or "software engineer" on the high end. Charter schools are wild cards.
- Gay in the Glass City: You never know what you're going to get in this game. On one spin, you could win domestic partner benefits. On the next spin, one of your icons may be mocked as a crossdresser. Spin again and see great community support for Pride Day. Spin once more and see your state ban gay marriage. The drama!
- Red Cross vs. Food and Commercial Workers union: Draw matching images of bags of donated blood to win. Odds of winning are low, as images of strike signs tend to interrupt the blood supply.
- Development Wild Cards: Insert dollars and make an investment in Toledo. Potential winnings include abandoned movie theaters, closed shopping malls and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots of undeveloped waterfront property. Increase your chances of winning by inserting yen.
- Roll the Dice on County Reorganization: Take your tax dollars and play this slot machine, based on the proposal to reorganize county government under a county executive. Will the county win by consolidating power? Or will reducing the number of elected officials be a bust?
- Page One: Pull the lever to see which story will dominate the news. Are there dogs in trouble? Is there a courthouse in jeopardy? Match three subscription cancellation notices and the slot machine spits out a pile of rare, collectible coins paid for with state funds.

Welcome to my Garbage Disposal Reviews website! I'm Meg and if you're looking around for a garbage disposal to buy or puzzled by the types of garbage disposal out there, you've arrived at the right page. I've used a number of garbage disposers and thus know quite a bit about what the best garbage disposal is out there in the market.
Quick Links
How to Pick the Best Garbage Disposal
Before you scroll below, do note that garbage disposal is also sometimes called garbage disposer. Hence, I inter-change these words to make sure you're familiarized with them.
So what are garbage disposals? They're mainly bought because people want to keep their kitchen cleaner and to save the environment by reducing the amount of food scraps in the landfills. If you want to know more, read my Introduction post.
Types of Garbage Disposals
Now that you understand what a garbage disposer is, there are not that many types of garbage disposal. I've compiled about four types but essentially what you will need in everyday life is either the first or the second as most people use that.
- Continuous-feed Disposals – Placed under a sink. Efficient and quick grinding.
- Batch-feed Disposals – Simpler installation and safer than continuous-feed disposals.
- Dishwasher Garbage Disposals – Only for food particles and can also be found inside the dishwasher unit
- Septic Tank Garbage Disposals – Only for septic tanks. There is a special feature to break down food scraps.
Click here to learn more about the different types of garbage disposals in detail and figure out which the best garbage disposal is for you and your family.
Other hints on how to buy a garbage disposal
Before buying your garbage disposer, note the following important points:
- Check local laws
- Check your sewer system
After discovering that your sewer system is compatible with the garbage disposal, you can then move on to find a garbage disposal. Here are a few factors for you to consider when shopping for a garbage disposal.
- Sink area
- Dishwasher drain connection
- Frequency of usage
- Efficiency
- Stainless-steel blades
- Convenience
- Noise Level
- Safety
- Easy to Install
- Special features/ Accessories (Added cost)
- Warranties
If you have time, you'll benefit more if you read these points in greater detail. So take your time to browse my guide on how to buy the best garbage disposal. Then you'll be ready to look at the different garbage disposal ratings below.
My Garbage Disposal Reviews
There are six garbage disposal ratings below to help you understand what they are best for. Hopefully by separating my garbage disposal reviews in their respective categories, they will help you find the best garbage disposal!
- Best Continuous Garbage Disposal
Best for those who want an efficient and continuous garbage disposer.
- Best Batch-Feed Garbage Disposer
Best for those who want a reliable and silent garbage disposer.
- Quickest Garbage Disposer
Best for those who lack time in their hectic schedule day in and day out.
- Best Budget Garbage Disposal
Best for those who want value for money garbage disposal.
- Space-Efficient Garbage Disposer
Best for those who lack the space under their sink.
- Safest Batch Feed Garbage Disposal
Best for families who have small kids and place safety as their main priority.
Best Garbage Disposals – More Tips
You don't really have to do much to maintain your garbage disposal but a few tips along the way will help you to avoid damage because once damaged, the garbage disposal will cause you a lot of problems.
So, do run through this before you buy your garbage disposer:
- Run cold water
- Biodegradable food waste only (no expandable food)
- Don't use your garbage disposal as a trash can
- Use a tool to un-jam the garbage disposer
- Sharpen the disposer teeth from time to time
- Water is essential
- Reset the garbage disposer
- Feed the garbage disposal slowly
- Combat odor with natural stuff
More than other kinds of electrical equipment, you would want to ensure that your garbage disposal don't cause you more trouble. So, check out my garbage disposal tips here.

Marine's climb tops tallest building
Posted: December 29, 2012|
A Royal Marine climbed more than 3,000ft in nine hours to help raise money for the Children's Happy Hospital Fund.
Sergeant Rob Garthland, a physical training instructor at HMS Raleigh, the Royal Navy's training base at Torpoint in south east Cornwall, completed 110 climbs of a 30ft rope during the challenge.
Starting at 7am, 32-year-old Sgt Garthland climbed throughout the day and finished just before 4pm. He is hoping to raise at least £1,000 for the hospital fund.
He said: "It was the first time I'd attempted anything like this and I must admit it felt pretty good to get to the end.
"I paced myself throughout the day and for most of it I had other people with me, taking part in the departmental competition, which was great.
"There is a technique to the climb and I was teaching some of the others as we were going.
"It is tough and I can certainly feel it in my legs and arms, but overall I'm glad I've done it and I hope people will continue to show their support so we can raise a lot of money to help the children in hospital."
Rope climbing is one of the toughest parts of the physical training programme for Royal Navy recruits as they undergo their 10-week course.
Personnel from departments within HMS Raleigh also climbed alongside Sgt Garthland. Sailors and Royal Marines from the establishment's Military Training Unit took the first prize, completing 86 climbs between them.

Negative - Graham Family Farm House, Wandin, Victoria, circa 1915 Reg. No: MM 8051
- Summary:
- Black and white negative of the Graham family house at their farm in Queens Road in Wandin, circa 1915.
In the doorway of the house are, at right, Mrs Mary Jane Graham, nee Russell the donor's grandmother, and at left, Miss Minnie Graham, the donor's aunt.
This farm was a small orchard property that was taken on by the family after the donor's grandmother, Mrs Mary Jane Graham, retired from her railway job. She was responsible for managing railway gates in Gippsland about 1892, shortly after her husband was killed working on the railways. She was widowed with four children. She later worked at the Oakleigh railway gates then Elgar Road Box Hill railway crossing gates from about 1910 to around 1915. It is thought that she left the railways around 1915 and then moved to the orchard property during World War I. The family stayed on the farm until around the early 1920s. Then Mrs Graham moved to Hartwell to be near her son and grandchildren.

4. Update of the IRIS2 Project
(B. A. Tatum, Spokesperson)
The Annual Progress Review for the IRIS2 project was held in April. All technical and management aspects of the project were favorably reviewed with only one recommendation: to submit change requests discussed at the review. Funding delays in two consecutive years have necessitated the request for changes to the funding profile, and delay of major project milestones including the project completion date. In the original project baseline, all project funds ($4,735K) were to have been received early in fiscal year 2008. Presently, $635K of project funds are now delayed until FY 2009 and thus the completion date has been moved from February 28, 2009 to September 30, 2009.
Technical progress on the IRIS2 Project has been good during the
reporting period. All of the major beamline components for both the
injector and transport beamlines have been received with the exception
of the vacuum pumps which are due to arrive in late July. Assembly of
injector beamline vacuum components is approximately 70% complete.
Preparations have been made for tying in the transport beamline to
existing beamline 12 (beamline from IRIS1 through the isobar
separator). These activities have included relocation of piping,
electrical circuits, and cable trays. Electrodes and vacuum chambers
for both of the transport beamline spherical electrostatic deflectors
have been received. The 35-degree deflector has been assembled,
aligned, and tested and is now ready for installation. Assembly of
the 90-degree deflector has begun. Installation activities will
continue to be the primary focus during the remainder of the calendar,
with beamline commissioning expected to begin early in calendar year

A South Carolina win could cement Mitt Romney as the Republican nominee, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich told MSNBC's Chuck Todd in an interview broadcast on Wednesday.
"If Romney can win South Carolina, he's probably going to be the nominee. This is his big test," Gingrich said of his rival for the Republican presidential nomination. "He has so much money that if he also has the advantage of momentum, it's going to be very hard to stop him," Gingrich said of Romney.
Gingrich also defended his criticism of Romney's career at Bain Capital, saying that his critique does not imply a critique of capitalism.
"Criticizing one businessman for one set of practices is not an assault on capitalism. I am totally for free enterprise, I'm totally for capitalism," Gingrich said. He added, " I'm not saying anything Romney's done was outside of the law, I'm saying it may have been bad judgment, it may have been an exploitation."
Gingrich aligned himself with the Tea Party, saying that the Tea Party "believes the big institutions are dangerous, whether they're big banks, big government, or big labor because they inherently conflict with the model of American freedom."
"I find powerful rich people rigging games very distasteful," he said.

The University of Washington Memory Health Research Program is looking for cancer survivors who are suffering from cognitive impairment...
The Roots of Good Health
PHOTO CREDIT: Gunay Mutlu
When Drs. John Hoag and Michelle Dotsch attended last year's American Diabetes Association Expo in Seattle, they felt somewhat like fish out of water. The husband-and-wife team's booth was situated among experts and vendors touting diabetes management, products and research, but the other attendees didn't quite know what to make of them—because they're dentists.
"We were the only private dental practice; doctors were asking why we were there," says Dotsch. But the pair, who run their own Shoreline practice, Hoag and Dotsch, are part of a slow-growing movement among dentists to take a closer look at recent studies that link oral health with whole-body health. They are adapting the way they communicate with their patients to include getting more information about other health issues so they can look at a bigger health picture than simply isolat-ing and treating cavities or gum disease. They begin this dialogue having an advantage that many physicians don't: They see their patients more often—at least twice a year if the patient is sticking to the recommended routine.
There have been a few studies linking periodontal infections with other systemic diseases; most notably, diabetes sufferers are at higher risk of periodontal disease, according to the National Institutes of Health's National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research. Migraines are another ailment often treated by a physician, but they can have a dental cause due to issues like tooth grinding or jaw misalignment. Dr. Ron Inge, vice president and dental director for Delta Dental/Washington Dental Service, says, "[The studies] are changing many dentists' perception of how they practice. It's a slow change but they're no longer just drilling and filling, instead looking at how oral health is impacting the entire body." He adds, "Gum disease is a low-grade chronic infection and causes the same bodily responses as infections in other parts of the body."
Dotsch recalls a conversation she had at the Diabetes Expo with a gastric bypass doctor: "[He] told us about a patient for whom he did the surgery, and shortly after the patient had her teeth cleaned without telling the dentist of her surgery, thinking it wasn't important. She ended up back in the doctor's office with the gastric ring inflamed and failing. When the doctor removed the ring, he had the area tested and oral bacteria were found on the ring itself. The doctor was shocked."
Connections like these spurred Hoag and Dotsch to found the American Academy of Oral Systemic Health in 2011. In 2005 Inge cofounded, and is currently the executive director of, the Institute for Oral Health. Both organizations count as their members dentists and doctors who are opening the dialogue between physicians and dentists in overall patient health. Such partnerships are impor-tant because of the frequency with which patients often see their dentists. "We do see a lot of things that change before the doctors will," says Dotsch. "Sometimes we will see signs of diabetes in the mouth before [patients are] even aware of it." The Shoreline dentists are also one of the only practices in the state using Oral DNA, in which they collect a patient's saliva and test it to determine which types of bacteria are present as well as to tell whether the patient is genetically predisposed to gum disease, which can change the dental treatment approach.
But while dentists like Hoag, Dotsch, Inge and others would like to see more communication between doctors and dentists, progress is slow, says Inge, thanks to the lack of connectivity between the two. In September, the Institute for Oral Health will have a conference in Washington D.C. ("The Role of Oral Health in Healthcare Policy") which will discuss the economic impact of untreated oral health."
Oftentimes, dentists are looked at as second-level health care providers," says Inge. "We are trying to demonstrate our ability to contribute to overall health. We're getting much more traction from the medical community by approaching it as dealing with infection."

The Incredible Shrinking Technology
The next logical progression goes one step beyond rings and glasses to implanted microchips and processors. It seems like a page out of a sci-fi novel right now, and most consumers aren't quite ready for that level of invasiveness. However, as wearable technologies go from convenient to bulky, and users become thirsty for even tinier tech, what we now consider science fiction will become reality.

HUNTSVILLE, Texas (AP) Attorneys for a Mexican national on Texas death row for the slaying of a Houston police officer 20 years ago are hoping a federal civil suit will block the prisoner's execution this week.
Lawyers for 46-year-old Edgar Tamayo are suing Gov. Rick Perry and the Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles, challenging what they argue is an unfair and secretive clemency process in Texas.
They also contend Tamayo should have been told he could seek legal help from the Mexican consulate when he was arrested for the January 1994 shooting death of 24-year-old Houston patrolman Guy Gaddis.
Tamayo is set for lethal injection Wednesday evening in Huntsville. Attorneys say he was in the U.S. without legal permission and prison records show he had a criminal record in California.

Joseph Contratto June 28, 2014 at 11:19pm
Going out in the morning boys. Thinking Lakeshore or Rolling Hills. Around 10-11 pending the hangover. Throw your vote out if your in.......
William Gilbert June 15, 2014 at 9:35pm
well i was hoping to convince some of the ninjas to come out and play next sunday at burchfield in holt michigan but i see most of you have true AM3 ratings now. You bastards!? just me and shane are AM4 by rating i didn't look at old man's though. 851 for norm, joe and below 850 for me, hot damn, princess and shane. that idea sucked down the toilet. AM3's play on saturday, AM4's and ladies on sunday.
Got your message. Sounded fun but me and shane signed up for trilogy challenge at the gulch this sunday already also.
hey I can do am 4 I just had back surgery
I think I'm am4 rated but I'm not current.
good to hear you are playing again norm. FU Norm. go andy, i want somebody i know to go even if you kick my ass.
i will go by myself but always more fun to have somebody to hang out with. i don't tend to play unsanctioned events except solistice as i am already there. which is 8 days away.
not current means it will cost $10 more on the entry fee and $5 if you don't pay in advance.
I'll see if I have Sunday off, if so we can represent. If not, good luck!
i gotta find better low level crappy disc golfing friends you guys are all to good for me lol. then i have somebody to kick my ass in my division. lol

Last week my back workout started well and ended pretty crappy. Today went great, I found some TRX straps at the gym I went to, so I could do my levers and "ring" rows just like at home.
Tuesday - Back - Lat Focus, Delts, Biceps, Abs
Front Lever holds w/ Upright cable rows, 42.5x12, 3 sets
Ring Row, BWx9, 9, 8 w/ Tricep Rope Pushdown 42.5x15 and w/ Upright cable rows, 3 sets
One Arm Barbell Row, 90x8, 8, 10, 10 w/ V-BarTricep Pushdowns 57.5x15, 60x15, 3 sets
Stretchers on MTS Hammer High Row
70 each side x 3 sets - reps aren't important, really feeling the stretch is, but I got about 7 or 8 reps each set
Parallel Grip Low Row - had to mess around to find the right grip and weight, but once I found it the contraction was sweet, I use momentum on this one and really arch the back and pull low to light up the lower lats
57.5x12, 5 sets - really focusing on a hard contraction
w/ Slide outs and Fixed Bar Tricep OH Extension
Bike Sprints
2x15 at level 17 (seat 8)
Cheated Lat Pulldowns, 135x7 or 8, 4 sets
w/ Preacher Curls 40x18, 13, 11
* Great workout, only exercise I don't care for is the Lat Pulldown machine at this gym, it feels too easy when you start the pull and too hard when you finish, the exact opposite of the backs strength curve. I prefer my plate loaded lat pulldown machine at home. There is a plate loaded machine at the gym I may have to give it a try. If I like the plate loaded machine that works out great because it is closer to the preacher bench.

Futures Launch Own Label After Shocking Mercury Records Exit
Earlier in the week, Futures made the shocking announcement that they had broken away from their major label signing at Mercury Records after album release delays. Today, the promising British indie-rock band have surprised fans even further by revealing that they will be releasing their long awaited debut full length in June 2012 via Indigo Recordings - a label formed by the band themselves.
In a blog post, the band also unveiled the label's logo and their plans to make "a documentary on how it's possible to take your own music into your own hands and do anything you possibly want with it".
For most bands, the decision to leave Mercury Records and fly solo may seem daunting (if not crazy) but Futures appear to be unphased with lead singer Ant West telling Rock Sound "One thing I've learned about having a major record deal is that you don't need one. For us, that is, we know it works for others, but not for us."
You can listen to "Swim Teams" below - a song that the band have dedicated to their fans.
What do you think of Futures' latest announcement?


text: I just have to say that I just received my two replacement receivers from ColdSteel. The dimensions are right on the money. I found that one measurement on the drawing is questionable. It is the dimension for the crossmember. It seems too far forward. I used the measurement off of a Tapco flat and it seems right. I want to thank ColdSteel for providing the first 80% receiver for the Yugo and RPK.

Abstract: AS.00003 : Satellite observations of atmospheric water vapor distributions
Preview Abstract MathJax On | Off Abstract
Kyle Pressel
(The University of California, Berkeley)
William Collins
(Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory)
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change Fourth Assessment Report identified cloud feedback as the largest source of uncertainty in Global Climate Model (GCM) estimates of climate sensitivity. Cloud feedback is resultant from the sensitivity of clouds to the thermodynamic structure of the atmosphere which is in turn modified by the clouds themselves. Prognostic statistical cloud schemes have been developed to account for subgrid-scale cloud variability in a more physically consistent manner. Statistical cloud schemes assume a distributional form for some measure of water substance concentration and then determine cloud cover and properties based on a particular parameterization of that distribution. As the majority of atmospheric water substance exists in a vapor state, we will report preliminary results of a characterization of water vapor distributions based on retrievals from the Advanced Infrared Sounder (AIRS) onboard NASA's Aqua satellite. We will report on the vertical variation of distributional forms with height and comment on the physical mechanisms maintaining these distributions.
