DuPont Things to Do
DuPont Historical Museum
I have not yet had a chance to visit this museum, but the information and photographs provided on their web site are extremely useful for those wanting to learn more about the history of the city, dating from before written history and the time of the first nations tribes, the long history of manufacturing explosives, and some more recent events.
The museum also has considerable information on its web site regarding the history of the location going back to the Fort Nisqually and Hudson's Bay Company days.
Museum hours are Weds, Fri and Sun 1-4pm, Thurs 11am-4pmRelated to:

History, Traditions and For Further...
What is now DuPont has a long and involved history going back deep into the unwritten depths of Native American history, with even quite a bit of the early settler's history unwritten or otherwise lost to time.
It is known that near the point where Sequalitchew Creek enters Puget Sound, there was once a Nisqually settlement. Near this settlement in 1832 the Hudson's Bay Company built their first trading house, which was later replaced by a more substantial fort, which was yet again relocated in 1843.
What is now DuPont also served as the home operating base of what has been called the Wilkes Expedition, which was a circle the globe expedition from the USA that provided names for many geographic features in Puget Sound.
Normally, I would put this into the "Traditions and Customs" tip category, but to understand the importance of the history of the site now known by a chemical company's name it is best to do a bit of further reading. That way, it is possible to gain a bit of understanding as to why it would be important to visit this location, and why even though much of the important history is buried in the ground or otherwise not visible it is still a remarkable site in the history of Washington, and for those interested in exploring further a visit to DuPont and reading up a bit on the history of the site go hand in hand.
The DuPont Museum (covered in a separate "Things to Do" Tip) has a collection of material on its web site that describe the historic significance of the location. Some of the most interesting material is contained in a series of brief history pages called Homework Helpers.
The basic web site for the museum is
Some of the interesting history pages on the museum web site include:
The Native American Era:
The Hudson's Bay Company Era:
The Wilkes Exploring Expedition:
However, there is quite a lot of material on their web site, and these are only some of the highlights of a fairly extensive web site describing the history of the location. To learn more be sure to explore thoroughly this web site, which I consider very good for a tiny historical museum in a small town.
DuPont Visitor's Information Web Site
For those seeking information about exploring the city of DuPont as it exists today, there is the web site operated by the City of DuPont as a source of Visitor's Information:
However, it should be noted that this web site features only a touch of historical information, but instead is entirely focused on what a visitor will find today in DuPont.
Bringing the Past into the Future:
Another web site that contains quite a bit of DuPont historical information is operated by a group called "Save The History", which was inspired by considerable development plans for some of the historical sites in DuPont. Among other things, this group aims to take the past and bring it into DuPont's future, through preservation efforts and other elements aimed at using DuPont's substantial history to make it into a city that is more than just another Tacoma suburb. With their concern for preserving history for the future, their web site also has interesting historical tidbits on it, as well as more recent news and information.
There web site is:

DuPont Trails System
As far as I am concerned, the trail system that has been installed in, through, surrounding and around DuPont is one of its substantial treasures, and is the one thing that makes visiting this small community well worth a stop.
It may be useful for you to obtain the DuPot City Trails map and guide that is in the photograph. I found this guide in a literature rack in Tacoma, and have not yet found a place in DuPont that actually has these - but since I already have one I haven't looked that hard yet. A version of the map is also available on the VisitDuPont web site below. Select recreation and then Hiking and Biking Trails.
The trails are quite well marked with signs, though familiarity with the community and a trail map would certainly not hurt as some of the references are not easy for an outsider to know.
Motorized vehicles are not allowed on the trails, though there are some that use gasoline ATVs on the trails anyway. Any domesticated animals must be on leashes, and owners are required to clean up after their pets.
There are currently some 12 miles (20 km) of trails through this tiny city, with plans for more for future expansion.
The most attractive of the trails is the approximately 1.25 mile (2.5 km) Sequalitchew Creek trail, which runs through old second growth forests in a canyon that descends to Puget Sound and a small beach. This is built on the old railway line that connected the DuPont explosives plant to the dock on Puget Sound. Steep water side walls and the main line railroad along Puget Sound makes this part of Puget Sound relatively inaccessible, so that the beach at the bottom is fairly quiet except for where it can be accessed from DuPont along this trail.
The Photos and What They Show:
Photo 1: The Sequalitchew Creek Trail is a true hidden gem wandering downhill from DuPont to Puget Sound.
Photo 2: This is the trail map of DuPont, Washington that is available in a number of locations. Opened up on the inside the map of the city and the trails, plus local points of interest and history, are quite useful.
Photo 3: In order for you to find the trail map in the literature rack of the various locations (including places as far away as Tacoma) this is what the trails map looks like when it is folded up and put on the tourist information rack.
Photo 4: Some of the trails are flat and through dense forest.
Photo 5: Trails have a variety of signs on them, but are nevertheless reasonably well marked.Related to:

DuPont Off The Beaten Path
The Dynamite Train
During the years that DuPont manufactured explosives here, they used a network of narrow gauge railway lines to move materials around inside the plant, and from the plant to the wharf on Puget Sound below the cliff. For the most part, the old right of way and the trails and roads created on the old roadbeds are the only remains of this once fairly dense network of railway lines covering this small area of land.
There are traces of old track at the DuPont Wharf, but it is likely those remains will vanish quickly over time as antique seekers take pieces of the line for their own collections.
One train (a locomotive and a few freight cars) has been preserved, as well as a short section of track. This is the only officially preserved remnant of the DuPont railway. It is located under a sheltered roof and behind a fence to prevent pilfering of the parts by antique hunters. The structure and the train it preserves is located behind the DuPont Museum and neighboring Robinson Park, along a trail that is built on the old right of way - yes, this preserved section of railway is exactly where it was when the railway was operating. It isn't a special display track that didn't exist as part of the original line.
The web site below is for the DuPont Historical Museum.
How to Get Here:
Interstate 5 Exit 119 leads directly into the oldest part of what used to be the company town. The main road you enter in is Barksdale Avenue. You will pass Iafrati Park on the left, cross the trail built on the railway line, Robinson Park on the right, and then the historical society museum on the right. The next right turn is Forcite Street. The train is visible on the right just after making the turn.
Though, in reality, I highly suggest finding a place to park and doing this on foot, as it isn't a very satisfactory place to try to drive past.Related to:

If you are using standard eye droppers, use only plastic ones. The glass kind have far too much variation in them to be repeatable for photographic use. Plastic droppers are medical grade and the openings are cut and sized at the factory for consistent drop size.
For the most consistency, I always lift the dropper straight out of the amber bottle, then over my shot glass. I never turn the dropper horizontally as I count drops, as I've often seem, because I find that the drops will cling to the side of the dropper, sometimes giving very small drops, and other times very large.
As others have mentioned, glass pipettes are extremely accurate and are kinda cool, as well.

All Cast & Crew >>
Summary:If hotel rooms could talk, we would marvel at the adventures lived within them. Weaving together seven stories from seven different decades, we journey into a time capsule of the past century from inside room 720, an extraordinary room in an anonymous city hotel. In 1921, the opening night of the hotel brings a new bride and her cruel and wealthy husband to the room, setting in motion forces that will impact its future inhabitants. The interlocking tales visit the room in its many incarnations over the years, but the heart of events lie in the decadent 1980s- a disposable plastic world where two strangers unite for a tryst of unexpected emotion, creating a crumbling oasis at the end of a dwi...

I heard once that the poskim permit "gram mav'ir" on yom tov l'tzrich gadol. For example if someone wants to use a platta (hot plate) that they forgot to plug in they may plug it in with a Shabbos clock that will later turn on the hot plate. Where does it say that gram mav'ir is permitted on yom tov? Who were/are the poskim that discuss this?
Nitey Gavriel (Hilchos Yom Tov Cheleck Aleph, end of Chapter 20) quotes many poskim permitting "gram m'avir" on Yom Tov; see footnote 42 there.

In this respect I like TNG-R much better than TOS-R (and everyone knows TOS rules for me). Indeed in general I don't like TOS-R. I like TNG-R because it enhanced what was already there. The fixes were minor tweaks rather than wholesale changes. It is what it has always been only with improved colour and clarity.
I'd agree with that, and I don't even have a problem with TOS-R's CGI - I'm just more interested in what TNG-R is doing.

While I still find this season a miss, it is an improvement in my view. The writing is a little sharper, the acting is better, the characters more defined, and the production is overall sharper (as it should get after its first year).
I'd argue that there are episodes in TNG's second season that can be considered among the best of the show's run. That's more than I could say for any episode of the first season, and I am fond of that year.

I also vote "fanwanky kewl upgrade". Interesting idea, but I don't like it. It ruins the original Galaxy design.
Worst of all, it's impractical as hell.
The third nacelle location plays havoc with the whole ship. It blocks access to all the shuttlebays.
Also, the spine along the top of the stardrive section is umbilical access and support systems. That's all gone now with the nacelle sticking there. Where did all those systems go?
The BFG under the saucer evidently necessitated the removal of the captain's yacht and others things on the underside. And can the saucer still separate? Does the BFG remain and stick out? Does it separate with the saucer section?
According to one
fan work
I know of, which fleshes out some of the starship designs, the smaller shuttlebays were removed to accommodate the third nacelle and the main shuttlebay's capacity was expanded by 75% to make up the difference. The big phaser cannon was mounted because the designers wanted heavier punch, but adding lots of torpedo launchers on the Galaxy frame wasn't ideal. The saucer can still separate.

* The average year-round temperature is 78F and most of the time sunny and beautiful weather.... so swimsuits are a must.... and light clothing... perhaps some nice attire for a special night out.
* Also, to enter Mexico you need to obtain a Tourist Card (FMT). To get your Tourist Card you will need to prove citizenship, a passport is best for this purpose.

Thanks for your responses everybody.
I still think TMY-2 is an absolutely marvelous film, and technically it's probably better than Tri-X in all ways, especially grain and sharpness wise. I have no problems whatsoever making TMY-2 and Tri-X look confusingly alike in an 11x14 print, with the only thing being different is that 'texture' that the grain provides. I don't think Tri-X is grainy at all, but it has enough to give something beyond a surface that to me gives the picture a little bit more depth, and the grain supports the texture, which in turn supports the print.
I don't even mind going big with them. I print 16x20" while cropping 35mm negatives, and it still comes out looking amazing to my eye. Side by side with 120 Tri-X enlarged to the same size there is still a cohesive look to the prints, which is that texture again, regardless of grain size.
Most of all it takes me away from the more technical approach that I've had for a few years now (which I think was necessary to get out of my system), and into a realm that more focuses on the pictures themselves. It's a much more relaxed way of shooting, processing film, and printing. And I love this aspect of it the most. Just pop a roll in the camera and go have fun. Proof it and see what gives at printing time. Collect prints in 'project piles' and let it amass, and then edit the series. I could do this with TMY-2 as well, but I think I'm having just a little bit more fun with Tri-X, and that's all I really seem to want from this adventure of mine - enjoyment.

It's interesting that Thomas mentions a Leica camera as I hadn't used Tri-X for years until I was given a roll as part of a deal when I bought an M6TTL. Aside from the odd roll of Neopan Pro 400CN (which I also like) I use Tri-X almost exclusively since acquiring that camera.
Tri-X seems to work great in all sorts of lighting, I love the grain it produces and I find it scans well on a V750 (sadly I don't have a darkroom these days).
May it live long and prosper.....

I get a really good 1600 out of it in D76. The tonal range is fantastic.

What a ridiculous statement.
hi thomas
i always turn to tri x for a few reasons.
first no matter the light conditions you can make it work.

Thomas, many fine phtographers started out with Tri-X, and they simply know how to use it and see no reason to change. It is a wonderful, time tested film. We should be careful with terminology though as Tri-X 400 and Tri-X 320 are not the same film.
Having said that, many people base its mythical properties and reputation on the "classic" 1960s Tri-X. Current Tri-X 400 is not that film. It is more of a hybrid between traditional and flat grain emulsions (the same way current versions of Plus-X, FP4 and HP5 are not really "traditional" films). All these films are more homogeneous in their working properties than they once were. For example, current Tri-X 400, HP5 etc all have much longer, straighter lined curves than the old style films. So at least from a macro-tonality perspective, they all behave rather similarly, and not much different than the TMax and Delta films. There are some people out there (Anchell would be one) who find today's modernized Tri-X 400 (ie semi-flattened grains, more dye sensitiztion) inferior to the classic film, though they still prefer it to full-on tabular films like TMax.
So I'd say, if you don't mind a little more grain than you're used to with TMY, Acros etc, you'll have no problems with Tri-X. It can do whatever you want as long as you know it well.
Over the years I've strayed away from Tri-X and I will try something else for awhile but I will eventually come back to Tri-X at 200 and D76 1:1. It's hard to describe, I love the highlights and sharpness with a touch of grain. I have a "comfortable" feeling using it, it's like an old friend.
I really like Delta 3200 at 1000 developed in stock D76 as well.
Jack Leigh used Tri-X almost exclusively and his prints are beautiful. Unfortunately Mr. Leigh passed away a few years ago, taken way too soon, but check his work out.

I really was brought up on KODAK for film, ILFORD for paper, my Grandfathers maxim.
You are correct, its a bond or perhaps a better word is a 'trust' between photographer / film choice:
As a keen young salesman for ILFORD in the late 1980's we would have various sales 'initiatives' about building market share on film usually involving shlepping around upstairs 'studio's' in the less salubrious parts of London trying to 'pursuade' professional photographers to move from from brand x to ILFORD .....can I tell you much time and sweat was expended, for somewhat meagre returns. It was ( virtually ) never about a cost / price comparison, so much depends on what you learnt on, or what film your teacher used, but it really comes down to knowing that when you put 'your' brand of film in the camera it will perform the way you expect it to and produce the images that you want it to. I am not saying do not experiment or that using a range of films is in any way a bad thing.
I changed to using ILFORD films before I joined ILFORD....but since then I have changed my choice of film usage frequently, I do like perceptable grain ( its meant to be there! ) within the context of the final print, I am currently using more DELTA 3200 ( 120 ) than anything else.
I also really like controlled crystal growth type mono films such as DELTA and T Max, I just find for the work I do and like ( landscape predominantly ) these films are more velutinous and suited to less 'gritty' subjects, but thats just my personal opinion...and thats what film is a personal choice.
And as for Tri-X : Great film.
Simon ILFORD Photo / HARMAN technology Limited :
I learned on Tri-X with an old, no meter, Pentax. While I like TMax, Delta, and Acros in all their speeds for landscapes, I always know I can put Tri-X in the H1a and just shoot.

A document from 2006 says the NSA's Network Analysis Center accessed and read communication by "interesting targets" at the Qatar-based news network, then forwarded it on to other NSA departments for more analysis. The document claims those targeted had "high potential as sources of intelligence," and labels the operation as a "notable success." The document does not reveal how widespread the surveillance of Al Jazeera journalists and staff was, nor how long it continued. But, notes Der Spiegel, it does give us an even broader picture of just how far the NSA's international surveillance program reaches. Other Snowden leaks today revealed new details of the government's growing cyberwar program. Employees of the Arab news station Al-Jazeera.

The lush Scottish Highlands are a tempting setting for seduction in "New York Times "bestselling author Julia London's sparkling new novel.
The last person Daria Babcock expects to find in her grandmother's home is a brawny, naked Highlander. She doesn't buy Mamie's explanation about finding the poor man shot in the woods. Nor does she trust the gorgeous laird, who insists his own memory fails him. But Daria came to Scotland looking for adventure and romance, and after the intriguing stranger kidnaps her, she gets her wish--and so much more. . . .

London's 1811 Scottish Highlands romance is atmospheric but cloying. Gently bred 21-year-old Daria Babcock, the last unmarried young woman in her social circle, travels to Scotland, ostensibly on a family mission to bring money to her grandmother. After Daria's chaperone deserts her, she arrives at the addled matriarch's cottage and finds one room occupied by an unconscious Scotsman with a gunshot wound. When Jamie Campbell awakens, Daria does her best to care for him while figuring out why he's in her grandmother's house. The sensual connection between Jamie and Daria feels manufactured rather than organic, but detailed characterization encourages the reader to fill in the blanks. London (The Seduction of Lady X) brings a smooth, flowing cadence to the story, right up until a hasty, unfinished ending that leaves several threads dangling in the heather-scented wind, undoubtedly to be explored in future books. Agent: Jenny Bent, the Bent Agency. (Mar.)
Undercover lovers
Reunited lovers face danger and desire in Catherine Mann's riveting Free Fall. When undercover Interpol agent Stella Carson is kidnapped while posing as one of a group of students visiting East Africa, Jose "Cuervo" James, an Air Force pararescueman (think Navy SEAL with additional medic skills), is sent in as part of the liberation team. But the attempt goes awry and the pair must hide out while awaiting a second try at extraction. Feelings flare between Jose and Stella, but the passionate fire can't eliminate what stands between them: Jose's certainty that his own childhood makes him a bad bet as a family man. Other ominous plot threads come together to uncover old secrets and reveal a betrayal that Jose and Stella might not survive. An expert blend of raw emotion and suspenseful thrills.
Adventure, sizzling sex and scary creatures abound in Cynthia Garner's return to her paranormal milieu, Heart of the Demon. Half-chameleon demon enforcer Finn Evnissyen makes a literal bargain with the devil: He will gain independence from his devilish employer if he infiltrates a rogue group of preternaturals (vampires, werewolves, shifters, demons and fey) determined to take over the human world. Unbeknownst to him, fey Keira O'Brien has been blackmailed into doing much the same thing. Finn and Keira were lovers in the past and the attraction still runs strong, but now they're each dismayed to find that the other is loyal—or so they think—to this dangerous organization. Still, their close proximity results in new romantic sparks, and they become enthusiastic, if distrustful, lovers. When the truth of their involvement with the bad guys comes to light, they have still more peril in the way of a happy ending. Will they manage to stop the rogues or will they lose their lives? Fast-paced action and imaginative world-building will entertain enthusiasts of supernatural romance.
Julia London delivers a charming fish-out-of-water story in The Last Debutante, set in 1811. When Daria Babcock travels to Scotland from West Sussex, England, on a visit to her grandmother, the last thing she expects is to be kidnapped by the powerful laird of a Highland clan. But Jamie Campbell is sure he has good reason; he believes Daria's grandmother stole a thousand pounds from his uncle, and he will take the girl as ransom until the money is repaid. Daria's confinement in Jamie's medieval-looking castle is not as harrowing as she feared. Not only does she find the countryside beautiful, but she begins to chip away at the Campbell family's suspicion toward her. Jamie himself is fascinated by Daria's grace and good humor under the circumstances, and soon they are falling for each other. But the laird isn't free to marry whomever he wishes, and he's torn between his heart and his duty toward the clan. Jamie is still wrestling with his choice when Daria's friends and family arrive to secure her release—and a devastating scandal is revealed, further making romance between the pair impossible. This is a tender story peopled with memorable secondary characters and two culture-crossed lovers worth rooting for.

Was one powerboat worthy of being rated Powerboat of the Show at SIBS? We take a close-up look.
The Aegean Flying Bridge from Maritimo, essentially the C60 Cabriolet with a styilised flying bridge.
For what it's worth, here are some of the boats on display at the Sydney International Boat Show that I for one would be very happy to call my own.
Unlike the situation often encountered at US boat shows, the Sydney International Boat Show staged at Darling Harbour (July 31-August 5) does not name a 'Boat (power or sail) of the Show'.
No doubt this stems from the fact that Australia's Boats of the Year in numerous categories were named in May, to coincides with SCIBS, just 2 months prior to the Sydney exhibition.
Nonetheless, it's a question I am often asked: 'What was the best powerboat at the show this year?'
As is the case every year, that's a tough one to answer. After all, how would you judge them?
Is the biggest boat the star? The most expensive?
Should the vessel honoured as Australian Powerboat of the Year (the Riviera 4400 Sport Yacht) be automatically named as Powerboat of the Show if such an Award existed?
From a strictly personal viewpoint, it's not really possible to pass judgment on a boat one has not evaluated on the water.
I saw a number of craft at Sydney that impressed me, but without spending time at the helm I could go no further.
There is also the situation of totally different styles of boats; for instance, how could you say a Grand Banks is a superior vessel to a Lewis Ski Boat? Impossible, really.
So, for what it's worth, here are some of the boats on display at the Sydney International Boat Show that I for one would be very happy to call my own.
Being occasionally fond of speed, I simply have to mention the 'red terror', otherwise known as the Cigarette Racing Team's Top Fish.
Cigarette Racing Team designs have won more than 350 offshore races around the world, and can rightly claim to be the world's most successful designer/manufacturer of seep vee mono hulls.
Another reason for mentioning the Top Fish, powered, incidentally, by no less than three 300hp Mercury Verado outboards, is that this display by the authorised dealer, the Chapman Marine Group, is the first appearance by Cigarette Racing Team at the Sydney show.
When sheer speed is not really a consideration, I was tremendously impressed with the Grand Banks display.
One can't really refer to a Grand Branks as 'a boat'; they're more like small ships and I think they're gorgeous.
The name Beneteau is perhaps best known in Australia for sail boats, but last weekend I took a look at the company's powerboat arm and came away a definite fan of the Beneteau 52 Swift, a trawler-style vessel in the Grand Banks fashion.
With a stunning blue hull, white superstructure and a fabulous interior, this is one fine French creation.
As for the vessels from the famed UK builders Sunseeker, Princess and Fairline, what can one say? Every model in their ranges could be termed a 'show stopper'. I don't recall ever seeing a vessel from one of these manufacturers that did not impress in some way.
The massive Riviera 70, largest vessel yet from the Gold Coast builder, certainly attracted its share of admirers, but to date I have only seen it from a distance and have not been aboard.
Riviera 70 smooth and fast
Aussie builders Steber, Caribbean and Mustang all displayed boats that anyone would be delighted to own, but I'll have to reserve detailed opinion until I spend time aboard.
One superb craft I have had the pleasure of being at sea on is the innovative Cabriolet 60 from Maritimo.
Right now, without looking any further, this is the boat I would buy, only the lack of an extremely friendly (or idiotic?) bank manager preventing me from casting off and setting a course.
Fact of the matter is there were so many first class boats at the Sydney International Boat Show that I feel bad for not mentioning them all.
Oh well, that's what the boat show program is for.
Let me just say that buyers around Australia have as broad a choice as anyone in the world when it comes to choosing their dream boat.

Sorry but she is not attractive in the least. A radio station I listen to here in Orange County says she looks like a baseball glove with with cut out. I know, really mean but really funny too.

Its a grand life on the Grandeur.
Just returned from cruise on Grandeur of the seas(Western Med)We treated our daughter who was 40 in Oct.It was her first cruise and she was thrilled with the ship and everything on it.
All the staff were courteous and very helpful,the food was excellent,even my very fussy grand-daughter enjoyed it all.The cabin was spacious and everything was very clean.We flew from Manchester on Thomas Cook Airlines and as usual it was very cramped on the 767,but pleasant staff and the meals were quite good.
Getting on and off the ship was straightforward and the ports interestig. We preferred to be independent and find our own way onshore, particularly enjoyed the mini-bus ride up the rock in Gibralter.This is our second Royal Caribbean cruise having been on The Independence ,and i would recomend the line to anybody.
My husband and Grand-daughter went ashore in Malaga and enjoyed the city bus tour while my daughter and i stayed onboard and had a restful day. Less

Automated Teller Machines:
Banks Reported That Use of Surcharge Fees Has Increased
T-GGD-97-123: Published: Jun 11, 1997. Publicly Released: Jun 11, 1997.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
(202) 512-3000
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
GAO discussed the results of its study on the use of surcharge fees for automated teller machines (ATMs), focusing on the: (1) number of banks that operate ATMs; and (2) number of these banks that surcharge non-account holders and the amounts of surcharges that are assessed.
GAO noted that: (1) banks have access to ATM networks that link their respective ATM and computer systems so that depositors from any member of the network can access their respective accounts through any network bank's ATM; (2) there are fees associated with using ATMs; (3) one type of fee is the surcharge fee that ATM owners may charge ATM users who do not have accounts with them; (4) in assessing these fees, ATM owners generally charge users' banks, which pay the fees and then charge them directly to the users' accounts; (5) GAO conducted a projectable survey of 246 randomly selected banks throughout the United States to determine the number of banks that operate ATMs, the number of these banks that surcharge non-account holders, and the amounts of surcharges that are assessed; (6) as of February 1, 1997, about three-fourths of all banks in the United States operated ATMs; (7) as of that date banks operated about 119,000 ATMs, an increase of 34 percent over the 89,000 ATMs operated at the end of 1995; (8) about one-third of the banks that operated ATMs reported that they imposed surcharges on non-account holders who used their machines; (9) more of the large banks than smaller banks reported surcharging, and a greater percentage of the large banks reported that they began surcharging during the past year; (10) actual surcharge fees tend to occur in 50-cent increments, e.g., $1.00, $1.50, $2.00; (11) the average surcharge fee for all ATMs operated by banks, including those with no surcharge fees, had more than tripled since the end of 1995, from $0.17 to $0.62 in 1997; and (12) the average reported surcharge fee for those ATMs with surcharges was $1.14 in 1997, the most commonly reported actual surcharge fee was $1.00.

Re: Searching for Cheapest Bed and Breakfast HOtels
Rates vary according to day/date/type of accommodation. I suggest you google for 'hotels portsmouth' and have a look at some of the options. The more stars a hotel has the more expensive it will be.
A cheaper option will be the local bed & breakfasts (b&bs).

I love how she stays low key, and almost wonder if this little "walk" isn't on purpose. Meaning that she did it to keep her name in everyone's consciousness so that when duplicity comes out it's easier to promote.

i love that she's so NORMAL - ya know? she looks good here too - we've only seen her from time to time over the years since she's had her children, - she's trying to keep a low profile i guess, but soon enough we'll see her on the red carpet and doing press for her new movie.

well three actually:
Joe Lipka sent me two - both stunning - one from Chinatown, Vancover with a juxtaposition of kanji signage and a normal no entry sign. Also an image from the Labyrinth series that was published in Lenswork. The quality is stunning - and no the one produced from a digital camera has amazing detail - masterful and something I can only aspire too.
Rory - the man who had the temerity to suggest he might not be an expert - sent a stunning portrait the strength of which is incredible! The image is of Clarence Clemens whom I do not know - I did search the web and came across a Clarence Clemons - a sax player who is fantastic so if this is a mistake its a great one as I am about to order some of his music for sure - whoever the image is of it is stunning with wonderful blacks and a great range of tones and just lovely light.
More for my wall and thank you for images that will find space of my walls!

So ever now and then I get a craving for SG1 and the shippiness that is Sam/Jack. I was watching a music vid on youtube and I found I could not recall seeing an certain clip before. I hoping someone can help me identify the episode cause it's driving me insane.
It starts at 7:23, I believe, and ends at 7:34 Sam has extremely short hair and while I can recall the hair I can't recall the episode at all.

I think skyjacker has the best looking shocks out there and they are built strong and the ease of installation is a plus
Reviewed By Eric M (Evansville, IN) Reviewed for a 1994 Ford F-150 —6/3/2013 9:30 PM
Not a bad product. Easy to install after you put all the parts together. Watch out for sharp edges where they welded the shock. got a cut from them not being sanded before painting over all decent product but nothing above average I probably could have bought same or better for less without the name brand... they ride alright a little stiff at first but they look great ... over all good product tho I'm satisfied but more than likely won't buy again
Reviewed By Peter T (JORDAN, MN) Reviewed for a 1994 Ford F-150 —11/29/2012 3:29 PM
I couldn't beat 'em for the money, not for nitro shocks with a lifetime warranty. Only complaint is the steel bushing that rides inside the red poly grommets needs to be cut down in order to fit in the OEM axle mount-pockets - whining, I know. They shipped me the right shocks fast and free - this was one of the better experiences I've had with AutoAnything. Due to rust and age, install was another story though (snapped both shock towers and had to cut old off with torch and replace with new).
