With one of the best public transport systems in the world and a compact city centre, getting around Hong Kong is easy enough for even inexperienced travellers. The underground Mass Transit Railway (MTR) is efficient and inexpensive. Double-decker and single-decker buses cover all of Hong Kong Island, Kowloon and the New Territories with final destinations displayed in both English and Chinese. Bus fares are low and distance-based; exact change is required. Small mini-buses are more expensive but also more flexible, stopping for passengers to board or disembark on request. Hong Kong's old-fashioned trams are also a cheap and convenient way of getting around. On the water, fleets of ferries connect Hong Kong Island, Kowloon, the Outlying Islands, Macau and Mainland China. Last but not least there is an abundant supply of taxis, colour-coded according to their area of operation. Taxi fares are low, but many drivers don't speak English and visitors are advised to have their destination written down in Chinese characters.
Electrical current is 220 volts, 50Hz. The UK-style three-pin plugs are standard.
The unit of currency is the Hong Kong Dollar (HKD); which is divided into 100 cents. Major banks are open from 9am to 4:30pm Monday to Friday, and 9am to 12:30pm on Saturday. Banks and money changers charge commission, as do hotels that provide exchange services. All major credit cards are accepted and ATMs are widely distributed.
The international access code for Hong Kong is +852. Local mobile phone operators use GSM networks and have roaming agreements with most international operators. Mobile phones can also be rented on arrival at the international airport. Internet cafes are widely available, and access is free at many coffee shops, shopping malls, MRT stations and public libraries.

The climate of Hong Kong is subtropical for half of the year and temperate for the rest, with hot, humid summers and cool, dry winters. Winter lasts from January to March, the coldest month being February, when the temperature averages 57°F (14°C) and the city gets cooled by strong, cold winds from the north. In spring the wind blows from the south, bringing in warm, humid air and a rainy season that extends through summer. Average temperatures in summer, between June and August, climb to 82°F (28°C) and typhoons are possible. Hong Kong is a little too hot and humid in the peak summer months to be comfortable, and winter can be too chilly, but in late spring (May) or autumn (September) the temperature is just right, making these the best times to visit Hong Kong.
The Airport Express Line is a dedicated airport railway providing a fast and reliable service to downtown Hong Kong. Trains depart every 12 minutes or less around the clock, and the journey takes around 25 minutes. Scheduled hotel shuttle buses leave the airport regularly taking passengers to major hotels plus key transport interchanges, and there are a number of public bus (Airbus) routes from the airport.
Public transport in Hong Kong is excellent so car rental is not advised.
Taxis are available from the taxi pick-up area in front of the arrivals hall. Red taxis drive to central Hong Kong, green taxis service the New Territories, and blue taxis drive to Lantau Island. A taxi to the centre of Hong Kong costs about HK$300 to HK$350.
There are people movers to transport passengers from Terminals 1 and 2 to the high-speed ferry service that connects them.
Airport facilities include banks, ATMs, currency exchange offices, a post office, beauty salon, a children's play area, showers, restaurants, shops (including duty-free), disabled facilities, internet cafes, cinemas, a golf course, conference and business services and tourist information desks.
The airport has both undercover and open-air car parks. Long-term parking is located at Car Park 2. Hourly rates range between HK$18 and HK$22, and daily rates are between HK$144 and HK$176.
There are free wifi hotspots in both terminals.

Cast iron set
I purchase these for my son for Christmas and he loved them. He needed them for camping. He's an avid hunter and camps with his family. They are the perfect size and you can't beat the wear. These should last him a life time.Read More
A great price for these. The issue is seasoning - they took a long time to season. Compared to all other cast products I have ever owned they are the hardest to care for. The price was right though.Read More

my daughter loves these but would have like a larger skillet as opposed to the smallest one in the set.Read More
Excellent Cast Iron set of pans
This is a bargain, get it while it lasts! I just received my pans yesterday and am so happy. You have to wash them thoroughly first, to remove a light wax coating they come with; then just add a little bit of oil, pop them in the oven for an hour at 380 degrees and they are good to go. In my opinion, everything tastes better when cooked on a cast iron skillet. Pay attention to the size description in the website, as my husband found them to be on the smaller side, but I knew what to expect, so no complaints there. The smallest skillet is perfect for heating a small amount of salsa or to cook an egg sunny side up. I have other cast iron pans from Lodge and they are comparable in quality, and at this price I am a Bayou Classic convert now.Read More
Bayou Classic 3-piece Cast Iron Skillet Set
Great skillets, as advertised. Only issue is that, one would THINK that with the name "Bayou Classics" this is an American made product - NOT SO. These are manufactured in China. However, the product is very good.Read More
Magnificent cast iron
To be honest theres not really much else i can say on these cast iron skillets. the quality is amazing, they are easy to season, they have a ton of uses, we are now currently using these things every every pan based need in the house, only thing you want to remember, is if you have to move the pan, they stay hot for quite a while and there is no easy way to cool them down, so oven mits are a mustRead More
I was on the fence about purchasing these because people either loved them or were extremely upset with the quality. I still decided to purchase these for my mother's birthday. Recently, she'd been talking about a set she used to have that got thrown away. I thought this would be a good building block for a new cast iron collection. Unfortunately, when she opened these on her birthday, the middle skillet was cracked all the way down the side of it. There's no way it would have been useable. Also, I'm not a professional chef or very well educated on cast iron skillets, but they don't seem to be that great of quality to me. Maybe I'm wrong. Hopefully your experience with these will be much better than mine was if you decide to purchase.Read More
Made in China should say it all but here goes the inside of the pan is way to ruff to cook on in some places they used a GRINDING TOOL on the suffice to take off the real bad spots ( My thoughts ) I have seasoned the pan once already but the directions call for you to do this 3 times , I have a BLACK IRON SKILLET MADE IN AMERICA that has never been seasoned more than once at any time before use . the cooking surface is so ruff I am afraid to cook eggs in any way or pancakes , grilled sandwiches . this product seams only good for maybe steaks or any thing needing to be brazed this item in my opinion is for the dogs .Read More

What is the depth on the 8
The depth of the 8-inch skillet is 1.5 inches.
is the bottom of the pan a flat / smooth surface, or does it have a ridge around the perimeter?
It is a smooth, flat surface.
Description says it's pre-seasoned, is this the manufacturer's wax coating or is it actually ready to use?
Yes, it is pre-seasoned. It is ready to use.
The bayou classic website says their cast iron is NOT preseasoned. How do I season cast iron (do I season inside and out)? To season your cast iron, spread Crisco on the inside and outside of the cast iron. Then put the cast iron in the oven or on a grill. The charcoal grill is preferred, because there is an odor which could stay in your kitchen. Let the cast iron stay on the grill until the charcoal goes out. If you do not have a charcoal grill, put it in the oven at 350° between 45-55 minutes. All Bayou Classic cast iron is not pre-seasoned.
Where is this set made? USA? Imported? If imported, from where?
This set is made in the USA.
I checked the Bayou Classic website and it states that their cast iron products are made in China.

Since I was in grade school, I've heard that doing math problems in my head is a great way to train my brain and keep my mind sharp. I still believe that's true. Now that I'm an adult, though, I know that there are some times when it's really, really important to make sure I've got my numbers straight. And because you're here, checking out our site, trying to make your company's marketing budget work with the best promo products for your advertising buck, I'm pretty sure you know it, too. You and I, we both understand the importance of calculators.
People can make good use of calculators in all sorts of situations, whether they're at school doing homework, at the office tallying up figures for the latest expense report, or at the grocery store making sure that they're still within the shopping budget. We have calculators designed to sit atop a desk or fit inside a pocket, wherever they're likely to come in handy. No matter what color best suits your company's logo, from bright purples and reds to basic greys and blacks, we have choices for you.
Let's say, though, that you're not convinced that a basic calculator is what you need to market your brand. Perhaps you'd like an item that's out of the ordinary, just like your company. Lucky for you, Quality Logo Products offers a huge array of hybrid calculator tools that will impress customers with all they can do--just like your company!
For the people who spend almost every hour of every day working at a desk, we have calculators combined with other office supplies to form one convenient desktop accessory. Among our items, you'll find calculator/ruler hybrids, calculator/tape dispenser combos, and calculator/desk caddy all-in-ones. Whatever project your customers will be working on, they'll get a look at your company logo each time they reach for the supplies they need.
Even if your desk-bound customers spend most of their time working at the computer, we have calculators built into mouse pads, mice (the techy kind, not the animal kind), and USB hubs. Computers may come with calculator software installed, but what's easier to use, a calculator that you have to double-click to open, or a calculator that's waiting right there, a quick reach away?
If your customers are the business-on-the-go types, take a look at any of our travel accessories that come with calculators included. Many of our padfolios and portfolios have calculators built into small pockets that make it easy for your clients to reach for the numbers they need. Are your clients likely to be handing out their digits as they network with business contacts? Let them do so with a combination calculator/business card holder that will show off your logo whenever they pass along their names.
With all of the different styles we offer, we're sure there's a calculator that can make your company the number one choice among your customers. Call us today!

In 1841, Northrup, a free African-American violinist and writer from New York, was drugged, kidnapped and sold into slavery in Louisiana by a pair of unscrupulous wheeler-dealers who had supposedly wanted to hire him as a musician in their traveling circus. Sadly, this was not an uncommon occurance in pre-Civil War America after the U.S. outlawed the import of slaves from other countries.
British director Steve McQueen's drama details Northrup's struggle to escape the hellish Southern plantations where he was forced to work. To protect himself, Northrup kept his true identity a secret for years. There were numerous betrayals, savage attacks and perilous situations to survive before he could regain his freedom and reunite with his family.

Lightweight and compact with everything the family photographer needs, the Nikon D5500 maintains its position as a great general-purpose dSLR.
As the name implies, here's where you find the best of the best, our top digital cameras across the board.
For everyday action photography, the D7200 promises longer bursts and built-in Wi-Fi.
Nikon has created a version of its top-of-the-line D810 that's optimized for astrophotography.
It's not the best megazoom around, but the Nikon Coolpix P900's lens is remarkable and if you need the most zoom on a compact camera, it's the winner.
It's not the cheapest camera in its class, but the Nikon D750 delivers an excellent combination of quality, performance and features for its price.
Nikon offers a little bit of everything in this update to its pro full-frame camera series.
The newest addition to the Nikon 1 line, the J5, brings a 20.8-megapixel sensor and a selfie-friendly LCD, among other things.
Very good photo quality for its class plus decent performance make the Nikon D3300 A solid choice for a first dSLR.
The new Coolpix P610, L840, S9900, S7000 and S6900 all offer big zoom lenses like their predecessors, but get a bit more shoot-and-share flexibility.
Want a point-and-shoot camera you can take down 30 meters without buying a special housing? Nikon has you covered.

We all take magnificent photo's that we like to share. After we have used photoshop, and have perfected the look and feel we were looking for we save the file. Then we want to send it or share it with our peers. But the file is to big to send. The best product I have found to do this is Skoot: http://www.skootit.com, by Topia Technology. It can send ANY size file to your peers, colleagues, or customers without any trouble whatsoever. I now am able to organize and send my absolutely largest file with no hassles, and everyone I wish to look at my work gets it immediately. Bravo Skoot!

Typically large files would be sent via FTP, for that you would need and FTP server accessible to all parties. Standard web hosting packages usually come with and FTP account.
Posted 23 August 2010 - 12:19 PM
Absolutely marvelous. I had been looking for exactly the same thing. Seriously it becomes a big headache when i edit a photo in photoshop and it size become too massive to share. I mean you can't even afford to alter the resolution of the photograph for a better quality. That's pathetic.. Anyways But thanks to you guys i think i have a solution to this problem. If it works out it would be so amazing

Often struggled with this issue, but that sounds eminently sensible. Thanks for the tip.

I do a lot of photography with the articles and blog posts I write. I also have to submit my work to clients for approval so the files can become rather cumbersome. I use HomePipe to save, remote access and share files online. I can share any size file, anytime from anywhere. I don't have to send anything so it's totally trouble free. Plus, HomePipe is free so you can register and click the link in the email and you're done. You add people to share your files with and you can restrict them to a particular folder, etc. I like the fact that I don't hae to zip anything or deal with email limitations. HomePipe is really easy and I'd urge your to try it. Just got to HomePipe site and see for yourself. You can even use HomePipe with your mobile phone. Too easy. You gotta try it.

I personally like FTP (I use WSFTP), but people say I am "old school'. I work in the tradeshow booth displays design field, and the file size on tradeshow booth display designs can be 200 plus MB. The last thing one wants to do is start over if your transfer crashes at 98% complete, and with an FTP program, you can resume where you stopped instead of starting all over again. Not everyone has FTP, and for those that don't want to get an FTP program I recommend yousendit. I also just tried dropbox based on a friend's very strong recommendation, and it's pretty cool too.
But as for me, I'll stick with FTP.

I find FTP a bit intimidating for those unfamiliar with it, Skootit sounds like a great application - thanks!

I used to transfer files from my personal email of my website domain, but i think this is a good tool. Thanks anyways.

One more software to transfer a large file which I want to share here is '4shared'. You can easily transfer about 5gb file in a few minutes.

Why ARM in Graphics?
The ARM Mali family of Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) scales from the Cost Efficient Graphics Roadmap which focuses on delivering high quality graphics within the smallest possible area, to the Performance Efficient Graphics Roadmap which is designed specifically to bring the highest levels of performance to premium devices with a particular emphasis on maintaining energy efficiency.
The ARM Mali Video Roadmap also adheres to these values, offering a high-performance, low-bandwidth unit that scales to deliver secure video to a wide range of smartphones, tablets and SmartTVs. This has been recently joined by the ARM Mali Display Roadmap, a highly functional processor which is able to significantly lower SoC bandwidth consumption whilst offering content security from download to display.
When the graphics, video and display processors are implemented altogether in an SoC, ARM architectural benefits such as AFBC and Transaction Elimination come into their own and offer exceptional bandwidth savings. Software integration effort can also be reduced as each processor's Android driver will work efficiently with any other ARM driver straight out of the box. This optimized Android multimedia stack addresses universally resource-consuming challenges such as integrating and optimizing processors from different suppliers or supporting regular Android updates. By taking advantage of ARM's pre-optimized software stack, partners have more time to differentiate their solutions and bring their product to market sooner.
Mali Quick Facts
- Number 1 Android GPU IP supplier
- In over 70% of DTVs
- In over 50% of Android tablets
- In over 20% of Android smartphones
- Over 400 million units shipped in 2013

By SUEANN MARTELLHelper
As many people in the community now know, I have resigned my position as Director of the Western Mining and Railroad Museum. I feel that I was forced to do this by Helper City, but that is not what this letter is about.
While this resignation causes me much sadness, I want to take this opportunity to express my gratitude to you for all of your support and kindness over the past six and a half years.
During my time as Museum Director, I have had a wonderful opportunity to accomplish many things that I feel have propelled the museum to national and international recognition.
I have had the pleasure of serving on the museum's building expansion committee and along with the members of that committee under the direction of and with the direct help of the very talented PJ Jensen, have raised over $1 million dollars of grant money for the proposed museum expansion project.
In addition to the money raised for the museum expansion project, I successfully raised over $100,000 in grant money for museum operations, exhibit projects and special events and lectures and also secured the museum as a regional repository of the Utah State Archives allowing local residents access to documents and archives traditionally only available at the state archives facility in Salt Lake City.
I also had the opportunity to win the distinct True West Top 10 True West Town award for Helper for two consecutive years; number 10 in 2006 and number one in 2007. Helper won this award over wonderful towns such as Sheridan, Wyo, Deadwood, S.D., Juneau, Alaska and Tombstone, Ariz. and I am proud to have been a part of that and to host True West editor and celebrity Bob Boze Bell in Helper in 2007.
I was also able to author two books on the history of Eastern Utah, Rails around Helper and the Coal Camps of Eastern Utah with national publisher Arcadia Publishing. These two projects could not have been completed without the support of the museum's wonderful board of directors.
While sadly, the volunteer staff, some of the board of directors and the assistant director of the museum have also chosen to resign their positions at this time, it has been one of the greatest experiences of my life to work with such a remarkable and dedicated group of people. Your passion and knowledge continue to amaze and inspire me.
The residents of eastern Utah, both current and past, and the thousands of visitors that have stopped at the museum over the past six years have also been wonderful. They continue to support the museum through donations, gift shop sales and by participating in special events. It has been my pleasure to get to know you, to learn your stories and to hear your comments.
I look forward to continuing my relationship with you in my future projects and endeavors of which there will be many.
While I don't know what the future holds for the Western Mining and Railroad Museum, I encourage you to still offer your support to the museum, it's mission and for its continued growth. I also encourage residents to call Helper City, the mayor and any Helper City councilmember to let them know how much you care about the museum and to weigh in on your desires for the future of the museum.

The World Series may be over, but as today's story can attest, the athletic spirit of America's favorite pastime is still lingering in Who What Wear's headquarters. We've definitely got baseball on the brain, only we're not focused on the recent showdown between the Rangers and the Cardinals, we're thinking about one of our favorite '90s flicks: A League of Their Own! Why, you may ask? Well, it just so happens that this season's '40s-inspired outfits-specifically the stylishly sporty styles seen at Miu Miu and 3.1 Phillip Lim-are perfectly in sync with the competitive spirit of this must-see film, making it a splendid selection for November's Currently Channeling!
Before diving into our picks, we'd like to start with a quick plot refresher to ensure you're all up to speed. The film is set in 1943 during World War II, when Major League Baseball was shut down and the first women's league was created by Chicago Cubs owner Walter Harvey (Garry Marshall), to make money. While scouting potential players across the U.S., Ernie Capadino (Jon Lovitz) discovers Dottie (Geena Davis), who not only has the looks to attract male fans, but also has promising talent too. He convinces Dottie and her sister Kit (Lori Petty) to tryout for the league in Chicago. Along with nine others, including Mae Mordabito (Madonna) and Doris Murphy (Rosie O'Donnell), the girls make the league and are assigned to a team, specifically, the Rockford Peaches. The team's manager, Jimmy Dugan (Tom Hanks), is a former MLB player and current alcoholic who doesn't take the job seriously and often clashes with Dottie over decisions about the team. Despite the questionable management, the Peaches quickly establish themselves as the team to beat, but sibling rivalry between Dottie and Kit causes problems, forcing Jimmy to trade Kit to a rival team, the Racine Belles. The Peaches make it to the World Series against the Belles, but lose in the final game when Kit hits a homerun. After the championship game, Dottie chooses to move back to Oregon and raise a family, while Kit remains a legend in the league.
Now, while we can't say enough about the Peaches' off-duty ensembles-all of the tea dresses are divine, to put it mildly-we've decided to take inspiration from the film's athletic-influenced wardrobe for today's story. From a timeless varsity jacket to insanely stylish lace-up sneakers, we'd have to say we hit it out of the park with today's A League Of Their Own-inspired pieces!
Club Monaco Brooke Hat ($59) in Suede
The baseball hat is a quintessential part of any sports uniform, which is why we'd be remiss if we didn't include the perfect topper in today's story. The cap on our minds is Club Monaco's Brooke Hat, which has a retro shape that reminds us of the hats worn by Dottie and the rest of the team. Even better: it's a spot-on and affordable alternative to the styles Miuccia Prada showcased on Miu Miu F/W 11 runway, like this camel and black Two-Tone Cap ($395)!
Coach Classics Leather Madison Satchel ($358) in Brass/Vermillion
If you're in search of a chic, ladylike bag to accompany your '40s-inspired looks this season, we'd like to direct you to the Madison Satchel. Originally introduced in 1986, this sophisticated carrier is one of five iconic styles that have been reissued as part of the Coach Classics Collection. We admire its clean lines, timeless shape, and bold tomato red hue, which is perfect for giving your fall outfits a splash of color!
3.1 Phillip Lim Meggie Driving Gloves with Wrist Belts ($275, 212.334.1160) in White
While a baseball glove isn't a fashionable accessory, per se, you have to admit these driving gloves by 3.1 Phillip Lim are a decidedly chic alternative. We're completely smitten with their vintage spirit, especially the gray leather and delicate wrist strap, plus we like that they are equal parts tough and feminine-just like the women in the All American Girls Professional Baseball League. In other words, they're a nifty way to add a hint of the A League Of Their Own look into your wardrobe this fall.
See by Chloe Sam Sneakers ($350) in Gray
Our footwear choice for today's story was easy: See by Chloe's Sam Sneakers. It's hard to resist the old-school vibe of these fashionable high-top wedges, which are available in a lovely putty/gray hue, as shown above, as well as brown and black. Make them your own by teaming them with a pair of skinnies for the weekend or with a leather mini skirt for a cool, downtown look.
Washborn The High Waist Shorts ($42) in Grey/Red
If you don't fancy yourself much of a dress girl, there's no need to fret, because we've found a pair of A League of Your Own-inspired shorts that are sure to be a hit this season. Unlike the traditional uniform's below-the-knee pants, these are quite flattering thanks to their high-waisted silhouette. Additionally, we approve of the gray and red plaid print, which is just one more reason why these shorts are a pitch-perfect choice fall.
Steven Alan Libby Dress ($265) in Black Houndstooth
When considering the league's untraditional-yet-stylish uniforms, we knew Steve Alan's Libby dress would make a great addition to the story-it has an almost identical silhouette! In addition to its look-a-like fit, we absolutely adore the button detailing and pleated a-line skirt, which gives the otherwise understated frock some girlish charm. With its neutral color and unfussy design, it's sure to be a go-to in your wardrobe this fall!
Rag & Bone Varsity Jacket ($695)
Keeping in line with today's athletic theme, we simply had to include a varsity jacket in our roundup. Now, we've seen some pretty great iterations of this collegiate outerwear over the past few seasons, but our personal favorite has to be this jacket by Rag & Bone. We're fans of the classic color combo, especially the leather sleeves, which give the timeless piece an au courant look. While it's an excellent option for a weekend jeans-and-t-shirt combo, we also like the idea of injecting your after-hours look with some unexpected preppines by styling it over a LBD. Of course, if you're in the market for a more budget-friendly version, be sure to snag Forever 21's Varsity Jacket ($25) or Mossimo Supply Co.'s Varsity Jacket ($45); the latter comes in three great colors!-Jessica Baker

CROGHAN Nearly 200 people gathered Tuesday evening at the Croghan Fire Hall for an organizational meeting of North Country Friends of the 2nd Amendment, a grassroots organization opposed to the New York Secure Ammunition and Firearms Enforcement Act.
Residents of Lewis, Jefferson and St. Lawrence counties watched a presentation by organizer Patrick J. Morse, New Bremen, concerning specifics of the controversial gun-control law.
If you dont like the Constitution, you change the Constitution, Mr. Morse said. You dont make unconstitutional laws.
Those in attendance seemed well-versed in the law and had few questions, though Mr. Morse said not all New Yorkers are as familiar with the law. He said many he encountered thought it outlawed only machine guns, instead of guns used for hunting or recreation.
Educating those who do not understand the law will be assigned to one of six committees the group will form. The committees will meet in two weeks to discuss progress and strategies for upcoming events with the goal of getting the law repealed.
Lewis County Sheriff Michael P. Carpinelli received applause when he expressed his opposition for the law.
Weve gone back to tyranny, he said. Youre never going to have our deputies come to your home and take your guns away. Its not our job.
R. David Petteys, Lewis County coordinator for We the People of New York Inc., said pending lawsuits could overturn the law, which he called an abomination. He urged the group to stay connected.
Youve got the ball rolling; dont quit, Mr. Petteys said. Similar groups are forming around the state, he said.
The group is planning a rally in Lewis County in May.
For more information, call Mr. Morse at 317-4380.

What would you do with an extra €25,000? Would you pay off debts? Would you give it to the needy? Or would you just blow it on clothes?
That is the non-dilemma that the Irish government grappled with (all too briefly, I suspect) – like any good profligate, they chose the clothing option. If you're going to go down with any ship, you might as well look good doing it. Back in July, the Department of Foreign Affairs issued a tender for 10,000 green silk ties to be made to mark Ireland's presidency of the EU, which starts this month. They also issued tenders for scarves and pins.
The value of this commission is not known. On the RTE website, it's stated that tenders average out at about €25,000. If this is the case then the unit cost is €2.50 per tie. This leaves very little for a profit margin – if the ties were to be made in Ireland. In effect, the government were pumping a little money into the economy, but its very possible that it wasn't ours.
The Irish fashion industry is growing both at home and abroad, but the manufacturing arm finds itself gradually shrinking in the face of escalating costs and fewer skilled workers. We don't sew anymore. We work in IT. We power social networking, search engines, vital hardware components. Like the Victorian Paddies who built London roads and carved Tube tunnels into being, the Irish are now paving the streets of Silicon Valley.
We need these people. However, we also need people who can sew and cut fabric to go along with those who have a creative vision or a good business idea that needs realising.
In the grand scheme of the National Debt, this amount of money is barely pressed peanut shavings, let alone peanuts. It's a drop in the ocean. It's an amount brushed away easily, as if disdainfully flicked from the wrist of a Russian oligarch.
While €25,000 would not be enough to kickstart an entire industry, it would be enough money to start a small at-home fashion manufacturing business. It would be enough to set quite a few people on their way to becoming self-sufficient, making a profit, employing and training more people and hopefully going somewhere towards healing ourselves as a country. They might even make a few green silk ties in the process.
Irish fashion – made in Ireland and sold around the world? That's what we need to think about. We have the talent, much of which is hemorrhaging across the Irish Sea every week. Now, all we need are the tools of manufacture.
I often talk about the importance of fashion in airy-fairy terms; it's self expression, it's a creative outlet, it's essential to our being. It's all materially insubstantial. It's impossible to refute, however, what an important (and ever-growing) industry fashion manufacture is. We need to carve ourselves a bigger niche – even if all we make is 25,000 units of a certain green tie.

Frequently asked questions
Homepage > Languages
- How
can I switch languages?
Use the language navigation at the top of the page. The activated language is shown as a white oval shape with the language abbreviation inside. The abbreviations stand for the following languages:
de German dk Danish en English es Spanish fr French it Italian nl Dutch pt Portuguese
To switch to a different language, just click on the language symbol of your choice.
Please note that not all the content of www.astro.com is available in all languages. If a webpage or service is not available in your language, you will automatically be led to the English version.
Seriously interested volunteer translators for English material are welcome.
- Are you planning
to translate your website into other languages besides the ones you've
Currently our reports and website are being translated into Chinese and Japanese. Once the website is online in these languages, we consider translating it into other languages. However, these languages need to be carefully chosen for several reasons:
a) Translating the website is quite elaborate and costly. It involves the translation of hundreds of pages of text and complex software resources.
b) Our free web services at www.astro.com are financed by means of selling our high-quality horoscope reports. So, in order to be able to offer free services in a certain language, we need to have at least some of our reports translated into this language. This means having to invest into the translation of these reports which comprise several thousand pages. Such an investment has to be justified by some prospect of being able to sell the reports.
Therefore we can only translate into languages which offer a reasonable market for our products.
- If there are
different variants of a certain language, which one do you use - or do
you (wish to) make your website available in both?
We are aware that certain languages exist in different variants, for example British and American English, or Portuguese and Brazilian Portuguese. At www.astro.com, we do not favour any particular variants.
It is our language policy to cultivate the co-existence of the different variants. And it depends on the respective authors or translators which one is used in a particular text. We do not intend to support two varieties of the same language as separate languages.
- There are still
pages in existing web languages which haven't been translated. Can I help?
Yes, certainly. We are happy to accept help from volunteer translators. If you notice that a certain page in the "Understanding Astrology" or "Free Horoscopes" sections hasn't been translated and you would like to make a contribution, please write an e-mail to webmaster at astro dot com.

This month Vanity Fair magazine released their Young Hollywood issue, featuring celebrities that they proclaim are the new wave in Hollywood. However, a quick glance at the cover reveals that their selections seem to be particularly homogenous: all of the picks are attractive, thin, white, and female. Undoubtedly some of the recognition is deserved – the issue features actresses from Oscar nominated films (Anna Kendrick) and incredibly popular movie franchises (Kristen Stewart). But notably missing are minority actresses such as Gabourey Sidibe, who is an Oscar nominee for her starring role in the film Precious, and Zoe Saldana, who was widely acclaimed for her roles in Star Trek and Avatar.
The so-called "white-washing" of the Vanity Fair cover may be due to a number of factors. One possible reason is the selections may simply reflect the lack of diversity that has been present in Hollywood for decades. Another possible reason may be the "halo effect". Particularly, as has been seen in the impression formation literature, attractive individuals are often attributed with a number of other positive qualities (i.e., warmth, competence, intelligence). Thus, it might be the case that celebrities such as Sidibe and Saldana, who do not meet the traditional Hollywood standards of beauty, are not appropriately recognized for their talent while actresses who do meet these standards are praised before they've actually had a chance to prove themselves.
What is particularly surprising is that past issues of Vanity Fair have featured a more diverse set of actors, including minorities and a mix of men and women. It has only been in the past few years that those recognized have begun to look more and more similar. It remains to be seen whether the magazine, and Hollywood, will continue this trend into the next decade.

PORTLAND, Maine (NEWS CENTER) - If you like fresh Maine shrimp, you'll likely to find fewer of them in the stores this winter. And people who make their living from shrimp will have a lot less money in their pockets.
The Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission, which regulates the shrimp fishing season in the Gulf of Maine, today voted to have a very limited shrimp season -- because they say there simply aren't enough shrimp.
Regulators from Maine, New Hampshire and Massachusetts met in Portland and approved a total catch of just 625 metric tons. That's about 1.35 million pounds. Last year's shrimp catch was more than 2,400 metric tons. Scientists studying shrimp say warm ocean water and over-fishing have decimated shrimp population.
They say that testing this summer showed few adult shrimp and few young or juvenile shrimp. That panel of scientists wanted a total moratorium for this season, which would have meant no fishing at all. But regulators said they wanted to allow some level of fishing, to keep fishermen and processors working, if only in a limited way.
Maine Marine Resources Commissioner Patrick Keliher recommended a 700 metric ton quota, but panel members from the other two states did not support that level of fishing.
They voted to allow trawlers to start fishing January 23, but limited their fishing to just two days per week. Shrimp trappers, who work primarily in the midcoast area, are allotted 13% of the quota, and will start fishing February 1.
The dramatically reduced level of fishing will mean less work and less income for fishermen, most of whom are in Maine. Ninety percent of Gulf of Maine shrimp are landed in maine. The cut in the harvest will also have a significant impact on shrimp processors.
The owner of Nova Seafoods in Portland says he expects the larger companies that use automated production lines to process shrimp won't even get into the business this winter, because of the small catch. He says processors who pick shrimp for the fresh market and for regional restaurants will likely do most of the work, along with shrimp peddlers who sell from trucks beside the road.
Shrimp processors have complained for several years that inconsistent quotas and seasons have hurt their ability to market Maine shrimp to national or international customers, because of the undependable supply.

Six Exelon Nuclear reactors were listed among the top producing GE Hitachi Nuclear Energy-designed boiling water reactors (BWRs) worldwide in 2009. This recognition included: Exelon Nuclear's Limerick Units 1 and 2 near Pottstown, Pa; LaSalle Unit 2 loca
WARRENVILLE, Ill. (Dec. 10, 2010) – Six Exelon Nuclear reactors were listed among the top producing GE Hitachi Nuclear Energy-designed boiling water reactors (BWRs) worldwide in 2009. This recognition included: Exelon Nuclear's Limerick Units 1 and 2 near Pottstown, Pa; LaSalle Unit 2 located in Brookfield Township in Illinois; Peach Bottom Unit 2 located in Delta, Pa; Dresden Unit 2 located in Morris, Ill; and Quad Cities Unit 1 located in Cordova, Ill. In addition to the recognition for capacity factor, GE Hitachi Nuclear Energy (GEH) also recognizes BWR units that continually operate for more than 400 days. In 2009, four of the Exelon units were among the reactors nationwide to achieve this milestone. The Exelon plants were LaSalle Unit 2, Quad Cities Unit 2, Limerick Unit 2, and the Clinton Power Station. "We congratulate Exelon for its continued role as a world leader in nuclear power performance," said Kevin Lagasse, senior vice president, services, GE Hitachi Nuclear Energy. "GE Hitachi Nuclear Energy presents this annual award as a testament to the reliability of boiling water reactors. Once again, Exelon is one of the top producers worldwide."
GEH annually recognizes the top producers among the 92 operating BWRs worldwide that use its technology. The awards are presented to operators of BWRs that achieve year-end annual capacity factors in the top 25 percent of the worldwide nuclear industry.
Capacity factor refers to the amount of electricity actually produced by a power plant compared to what it could theoretically produce running at full power 100 percent of the time. It is a key measure of plant reliability and overall industry performance. Two of the recognized units achieved capacity factors greater than 100 percent, which means the generators produced more electricity than they are theoretically rated to produce by their manufacturers (this is unrelated to reactor power). All six generating units are boiling water reactors designed by GE Hitachi Nuclear Energy and owned by Exelon Nuclear, the nation's largest operator of commercial nuclear energy plants. Boiling water reactors are one of two primary nuclear light water reactor designs used in the United States and represent about one-fifth of all commercial nuclear reactors in use worldwide. The GEH awards are presented annually to the 23 most efficient boiling water reactors out of 92 in operation worldwide as measured by year-end capacity factor.
Exelon Corporation is one of the nation's largest electric utilities with more than $17 billion in annual revenues. The company has one of the industry's largest portfolios of electricity generation capacity, with a nationwide reach and strong positions in the Midwest and Mid-Atlantic. Exelon distributes electricity to approximately 5.4 million customers in northern Illinois and southeastern Pennsylvania and natural gas to approximately 486,000 customers in the Philadelphia area. Exelon is headquartered in Chicago and trades on the NYSE under the ticker EXC.

Hi. PM sent on backpack
PM sent on the Shangrila if Jordan doesn't pick it up.
Clarifying that I'm only selling the inner "Nest" or net body. GoLite used to sell the inner net and the outer shell for the ShangriLa separately until about a year ago. This was purchased in 2011.Sorry for the confusion -- I wrongly assumed that everyone knew what the "Nest" was.
I'll take nest if still available. PM sent
Bumping...Still have a few pillows available.

Ever since the iPhone security bug that was transmitting location of your iPhone 4, several other handsets have had the same issues. Enter into the market a few HTC Android devices that have a similar problem to the iPhone but also goes a step further. It has been reported that there are several security flaws in some pre-installed software that HTC has been including with their Sensation and EVO 3D. There is a silent logging that allows for the following potentially dangerous activities:
SMS Data and Numbers
Don't expect any privacy if you have the unlocked HTC Sensation or the EVO 3D. All your SMS Data and phone numbers are being tracked. They say it is on an anonymous level never having access to the specific names.
Phone Logs
Every call you make or receive is also being logged. No longer will wiping your history clear you phone. The information is being transmitted to the logging software that records all the activity.
GPS Location
Similar to the Apple unlocked iPhone 4 bug, the location of your phone is always being tracked by GPS and mapping out where it has been since you got the phone. Again this may be on an anonymous level but still important to note.
More than Just HTC
The troubling aspect of this security bug is that the information is not limited to HTC. Malicious app developers or curious ones can integrate a feature into the application to tap into your breached data and perhaps using it in ways that are less than ok. There have been no reports of malicious use but be aware that it is possible. The only way to rid yourself of this security flaw is to Root your phone which is not a simple thing that anyone can do.
HTC has commented on the issue and said that they are trying to resolve the issue in a timely manner. Since the vulnerability has been around for months we expect this issue to be resolves ASAP. There is no telling how many users are affected and the process that will be involved to have the issue fixed.

OGDENSGURG - Walk and run next month to remember Lee C. Hurteau of Ogdensburg.
And the other brave men and women who served their country in the military during the Vietnam War, dying during the conflict and, later, because of it.
A 5-kilometer untimed benefit Zombie Fun Run, in which walkers and runners try and dodge the zombies who are trying to take the health flags while raising money for the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund Educational Center Building, will be held Oct. 26.
The educational center in Washington, D.C., will honor those soldiers who died after the war of combat-related injuries including but not limited to Agent Orange exposure, suicide and post-traumatic stress.
People need to know what their grandfathers went through, said Mr. Hurteaus widow, Linda A.M. Hurteau.
U.S. Army Cpl. Lee C. Hurteau served in Vietnam from 1965 to 1967. He died at age 65 last November of pancreatic cancer. But his widow said that her husbands death was preceded by more than 40 years of come and go ailments - blisters, rashes, heart problems, diabetes and other ills - that followed his exposure to the defoliant Agent Orange in the jungles of Vietnam in 1967.
He just started having these illnesses, Mrs. Hurteau recalled Friday. The doctors didnt know how to treat him.
It wasnt until 2005 that Agent Orange exposure was ascertained as the root of Mr. Hurteaus catalogue of ailments.
Wife and husband reacted differently.
I was angry, he wasnt, Mrs. Hurteau said. He said he got to come back home.
The Zombie Fun Run registration is at 9 a.m. Start time is 10 a.m. at Amvets Post No. 19, 308 Isabella St.
Anyone 14 years and older who raises at least $35 from sponsors can participate as a runner/walker or Zombie. There will be a limited number of Zombies. Zombies are to dress up and come with their makeup on.
Runners/walkers who raise $100 or more will receive an extra health flag and will receive an extra flag if they wear a costume.
The runner/walker who raises the most money and the Zombie who collects the most flags will receive a prize.
