Dublin's celebrations will also be sprinkled with a little stardust with former Westlife singer Nicky Byrne acting as Grand Marshal of the parade.
Nicky – who has been trying to break into TV – was chosen because of his "outstanding contributions to the music industry" and is said to be excited at the opportunity to play a key role in the parade.
All around the world, festival organisers are reaching into the pool of the great and the good to find a parade headliner worth shouting about. New York's St Patrick's Day parade has been held since 1762, making it the oldest in the world.
It is also the biggest civilian parade in the world and headlining this mammoth event for 2013 is Alfred E Smith IV – a Wall St tycoon and the CEO of AE Smith Associates which he founded in 2009. He is also the great-grandson of the legendary Al Smith, the four-time Governor of New York.
The Hot Springs parade in Arkansas is famous for being the shortest in the world, in length rather than duration. It takes place on the 98ft long Bridge St, renowned for being "the world's shortest street in everyday use."
This year's festivities will be led by actress Bo Derek and actor John Corbett, who played Aidan in TV sitcom Sex And The City.

Handmade Arcade & Handmade Nation
Thank you so much to everyone who attended Saturday's screening of Faythe Levine's feature-length 2009 documentary, Handmade Nation, at Downtown's Harris Theater, as part of this year's Three Rivers Film Festival and the exhibition, DIY: A Revolution in Handicrafts, on view through March 26, 2011, at the Society for Contemporary Craft in the Strip District. The screening was followed by a special book signing and reception at SCC. In case you missed it, or want to learn more about Faythe's work in Milwaukee and around planet craft, here is what the Pittsburgh City Paper had to say in its preview of the event!
Handmade Nation: The Rise of DIY Art, Craft, and Design
If you were among the 9,000 visitors to last year's installment of Handmade Arcade, with its vendors from all over filling Shadyside's Armory, you know indie crafts aren't just a Pittsburgh phenomenon. Now there's a film vividly documenting the movement's national scope, and a philosophy that goes beyond the mere purveyance of artisanal knitwear, clothing, books, zines, prints, dolls and jewelry. Handmade Nation is Milwaukee-based curator Faythe Levine's feature-length 2009 compendium of interviews with artists, including visits to their stores and craft fairs. Though directly descended from quiltmaking and other traditional crafts, today's indie craft is driven by a post-punk DIY ethos — a conscious, living-small alternative to a consumer culture of goods mass-extruded in Global South sweatshops and UPC-scanned in big-box retailers. It's also got a green edge, reflected in the use of reused or recycled raw materials. Levine, 32, has been crafting for a decade. The national scene took off, she says, around 2003, with the rise of websites like SuperNaturale, GetCrafty and other venues for online community and retailing. (Handmade Arcade was founded in 2004.) Now chain retailers ape the "handmade look," and venture capitalists have invested in Etsy, the key online marketplace for handcrafters. But Levine emphasizes "the empowerment of making." Creating beautiful or useful objects oneself "makes [people] feel good, proud, happy, satisfied and excited to share," says Levine, who visits Pittsburgh on Nov. 6 for a screening and a signing of her companion Handmade Nationbook. "The act of making is contagious."

John Carmack, the genius behind the 3D game engines from id
Software, once considered stepping away from games programming to focus on
space-related endeavors. Thankfully for the games industry, Carmack appears to
be still deeply rooted in games technology, as he demonstrated the
next-generation 3D engine during Steve Job's address at Apple's Worldwide
Developers Conference 2007.
Called "id Tech 5," the new engine shies away from the
cramped indoor engines of id Games of yesterday. Quake Wars will take the DOOM3
engine outdoors, but id Tech 5 will make it completely nature savvy.
"What we've got here is the entire world with unique
textures, 20GB of textures covering this track," said Carmack. "They can go in
and look at the world and, say, change the color of the mountaintop, or carve
their name into the rock. They can change as much as they want on surfaces with
no impact on the game."
The engine technology is aimed at the Mac, PC, PS3 and Xbox
360. If Carmack is able to pull off what he claims, we could soon be looking at
an entirely new generation of in-game artistry. With game development costs
higher than ever with the rising capabilities of consoles and video cards, id
Tech 5 may help simplify the art and texture process.
here to see a video of John Carmack's presentation.
quote: why pay more for the same game?
quote: And what really bugs me is that a game thats released simultaneously on the 360 and PC will cost more on the 360 than on the PC.
quote: It lets be afford a console that would otherwise be over $1000 retail.
quote: anyone know how to do this with the standard computer speaker jacks?
quote: Use Monster cables if you worry about the sound quality.
quote: do they make a difference from the reference cables that come in the box or the $10 set a wally world? oh hell yea they do...
quote: final fantasy 6 , anyone?
quote: somehow hook up my Audigy to my receiver (anyone know how to do this with the standard computer speaker jacks?)
quote: games have always been 50. thats the funny thing atari, nes, genesis, psx, ps2, until now. there is no just reason for the 10 doller increase other then companys getting greedy.
quote: which he replies that they aren't using it since its Vista only and they can do the same thing in more passes with dx9.
quote: They would be stupid not to use it since new PCs are shipping with Vista.
quote: Learn to use the best tools available, and learn to support the maker of the best tools available.

Trainer Joe Gallagher has told John Murray to work his way back up the rankings if he wants to fight Anthony Crolla.
Murray, formerly trained by Gallagher, only recently returned from a near-two year absence following an unsuccessful world title challenge against Brandon Rios.
During his absence Crolla - under the guidance of Gallagher - has resurrected his career after losing his British title to Derry Matthews, with a four-fight unbeaten streak.
The New Moston stylist currently holds the WBO Inter-Continental lightweight belt and promoter Eddie Hearn is working towards a potential shot at Ricky Burns' world title.
However, Murray told the Manchester Evening News that he is a forgotten talent and is itching to get the chance to prove his worth - and that means a grudge match with Crolla.
"I don't think I get the credit I deserve," he said. "No disrespect to Anthony, but my career is superior. He's lost to people I'm in a different class to. Anthony is thought very highly of, but he beat Rees who was on the back of a knockout by Adrien Broner.
"Rees lost his last fight to Gary Buckland, who I stopped in 2010. He gets more credit for a worse career than I've had. He lost to Derry Mathews.
"I was number one in Britain for years and European champion. I only lost two fights against Kevin Mitchell and then Brandon Rios.
"Put Crolla or Mathews in with me and they will be taken out in three rounds. Anthony is walking around like he's the cock of Manchester. I'm number one."
But Gallagher countered by telling his former charge to wait in line.
"Murray thinks he can come back to the top straight away," he told Livefight. "He's not ranked at lightweight because he's a light-welterweight, he fought a featherweight and he thinks he deserves a shot at Crolla?
"Well, if you want a shot at Crolla, do what Anthony did against Kieran Farrell and Derry Mathews did with Tommy Coyle and work from the bottom against a young up and comer like Scott Cardle. If you beat Scott Cardle, then you're back in the mix and we'll talk.
"You can't just come back after two years out and think you can take on the number two in Britain. That isn't how it works."
Crolla is now hoping to get back in the ring on the big Manchester show in April after being forced out of a fight with John Simpson on March 1 owing to a cut picked up in sparring.
His absence in Glasgow has given Murray just the opportunity he needs, and it is he who will now fight Simpson in a 10-round contest on the Burns vs Terence Crawford undercard.

Xbox One Users May Soon Send Live Game Videos
Microsoft plans to make it possible for Xbox One users to send live videos of game action to the Web, continuing moves to ramp up its competitive efforts.
The software company said Tuesday it will add the capability on March 11. The launch, Microsoft said, will coincide with the release of "Titanfall," a highly anticipated space-age war game from Electronic Arts.
Microsoft's new capability will be powered by Twitch, a broadcasting service that has become a popular place to watch videogame action. The website is a particular favorite among competitive players, but it has also attracted news and entertainment broadcasters as well.
Both companies in November promised to offer the technology on the Xbox this year. Microsoft said Xbox owners can begin sending live video to Twitch by speaking the command "Xbox, broadcast."
The move follows signs of mixed success for the Xbox since its debut. The device broke sales records initially when it went on sale in November, but Sony's competing PlayStation 4 appears to have sold in greater quantities.
"Titanfall," which will only be available for the Xbox One and PCs, may provide an opportunity for Microsoft to close the gap. The game has been well received by critics so far, giving the tech giant an opportunity to stand out against Sony's console.
Microsoft has already begun to gear up, announcing a price cut of sorts for the Xbox One, effectively giving away free copies of "Titanfall" to customers who buy it alongside a new system.

Now to the sleaziness. The sleaziness quotient is extremely high. They promise you a certain amount of weekly set appointments in training, and my friend never received even half of what they promised. When he asked 2 weeks in as to why, they said there were a limited supply of appointments. Their other digital "leads" are a joke. Picture a 16 year-old kid (not a parent) being bored and randomly filling out a survey (i.e. at a mall) writing "d**k Balls" as the parent's name. Those are the kind of "leads" they give you. They have no vested interest in seeing their scouts succeed, it's perfectly stated to be a " let's throw something against the wall and see if it sticks" kind of operation. They run through scouts like daily changes of underwear, basically a pyramid hiring scheme type of set-up. At the end just before my friend quit, he commented on how annoying it was to see the constant congratulations of first enrollments for new scouts go through the e-mail wires, at least 5 a week. Again, throwing something against the wall and seeing if it sticks. CLASSY. To top it off, something they don't even know, one of their "top guys" was a sports gambling degenerate who almost was thrown out of college, and it wasn't that long ago. Just shows that the sleaze rises to the top at NCSA.

Help with D800 Training resources
Hello to All,
My name is Phyllis. I am new to this group, so I do hope I am posting in the correct area, after reading the FAQ. I said hello in the New Members area also.
I have a D800 on order now, after sending back a D7l00. I started with film years ago and moved to Digital in 2000. I have not bought a new digital for some time as my D200 worked so well. I really am upgrading for less noise and more megapixels.
I have a vision/medical problem which makes reading quite difficult. I can only do a little at a time. I am writing here in the hope that someone can offer some information on training DVD's for the D800. It is easy to find books, but what I know will help me to get started with this new camera are visuals.
Watching videos, which show how to set up, understand and use this camera would be very helpful to me. It would get me up and running quickly. The only thing I have found thus are is video which is connected to a larger site, and you must take out an annual subscription which is quite costly.
To summarize - I am seeking a DVD, in hard copy or via download on training for the D800. I am in the meantime watching U-tube videos but I wanted something a bit more extensive.
I would appreciate any suggestions you may have. If I am in the wrong area to be asking this question, can someone please direct me to the correct area? Thanks so much..I look forward to hearing from someone.
My best,

Hi, Phyllis. You posted your question in exactly the right place.
Lynda.com is an online software tutorial resource that I recommend highly. Generally a course is topically divided into five to ten minute segments that you can watch in sequence or pick topics of specific interest to you. And I see that they have a course on the D800.
Membership is by the month or by the year with unlimited usage during the membership period.

Thank you Jan..
I seriously do not know how to reply to someone...so if this is not correct, please advise me how to do it properly?
There is one video on the D800 from Ben Long ( 5 hours) at Lynda.com.. Before coming here for help - I sent a request to that site asking if I could just take one course. The answer I received did not seem to indicate that it was. I did not realize I could join only for one month...I will have another look. I thought it was annually and you could pay by the month. I agree her training modules are good - at least the ones I have received free when buying expensive software.
This seems like a great website, but it is so huge I am a bit lost. I want to find out if the three lenses I have from way back in the late 70's that I bought with a Nikon FE will work on the D800 - even if not all the features work? Is there a specific thread for that particular type of question. I have looked at various websites on line but I am still on unsure just what lenses I have. I am guessing they were the lastest models but it is so long ago..I am not sure. I lived in Manhattan then and bought them a Broadway Photo! It seems like another lifetime.
Take care, and thank you so much. Phyllis

Hi Phyllis,
Welcome to the Nikonians, if you have questions you can get them answered somewhere around this site. To answer your question about your lenses, if they are AI or AIS lens they will work on your D800. I have some of the same lenses that you have and they work very well, of course you have to manual focus with them. You just add them to your camera and put in the information and you're good to go. I use the AF button on the back of the camera to focus as I find it easier than holding the shutter button half way down while focusing.
The D800 is a great camera, enjoy it and have fun.
Happy Shooting,

Thank you Bill. I have my fingers crossed that you are correct because they have great glass, they are fast, and I would save some money.
What I am not sure about is if they are AI or AIS or ???
Someone sent me a chart but it was complicated and by the time I was finished figuring out what they might be, I was no longer sure.
I suppose I could call Nikon - give them the serial numbers and they should be able to tell me..
Thanks much,

Hi Phyllis, here is a picture of my 24mm and my 55mm macro that I think you have the same one's that will work with you D800. Mine are chipped so yours won't have the chip on them, but you can just enter them in your camera and they will work great. If you have the metering levers you have the right ones that will work. Hope this helps you ID them.
Good luck,

I think I may have thanked the wrong person for the photos and if so I apologize. I wrote a message to AJ...below...the pictures were perfect. The pictures look like they are correct...
Metering levers???
I have not manually metered a shot in years...
I took a screen shot...
See my post below so I dont repeat and take up too much room on the board. I am very grateful for this
#21. "RE: For Jan" | In response to Reply # 4
Phyllis -
If your old lenses for your FE were AI lenses, or were modified as such, they'll work.
Back in the day (don't you hate it when some old geezer starts that way!) the connection between Nikon Lenses and the meters in prisms on the Nikon F, was achieved via a little metal device that looked like cat ears, mounted on the back of each lens. It engaged with a pin/lever that stuck down and connected the lens and prism together. By the time the FE bodies appeared, new lenses now "automatically indexed" or AId to communicate what the f/stop was to the meter. So if you bought the lenses concurrently with the FE, they are probably AI lenses. If they were modified, either by Nikon by replacing some parts or by a quick machine shop fix, they would probably retain the "ears" so they were backward usable with an older Nikon F. I believe the ears on the AI lenses have small holes in them and the older ones did not.
Two ways to spot an AI lens:
-- Non AI lenses have only one aperture scale ring on the lens.
-- AI lenses have two of them -- one larger type and another in much smaller type closest to where the lens connects to the camera body.
There are several web sites that try to explain how to identify an older lens that has been "AI'd", but frankly, I have had difficulty figuring them out.
BTW -- Nikon is virtually no use in identifying lenses by serial number because (a) they don't usually answer and (b) if the lens was modified by a machine shop hacker, Nikon would not know anyhow!
Again -- two sets of f/stop numbers -- one larger and the other smaller and closest to the base of the lens? It's an AI lens.

#22. "RE: For Jan" | In response to Reply # 21Mon 08-Jul-13 11:06 AM
I am not sure if I am speaking with Jan or AJ...but OH yes...I don't have the 24mm or the 55mm here..they are in a bag..and I will fetch them out soon...
But I do have the 135mm bought at the same time right here and I had a look and it does have exactly the same x screws..and it does have the two sets..one small and one big..and f/16 is in reddish pink. I did get them at exactly the same time as the FE.
It does not say AI on the lens..anywhere..I just have numbers..is that normal?
I am not sure how to put the info in but I will read carefully when I reach that point. It is so wonderful that I might be able to use them! ''
I bought a Nikon 7l00 and was not happy with it, so I sent it back. I had a return confirmation on Friday..so I am thinking I should have my credit for it and the extras I bought by Wednesday..and then I will order my D800. I am really looking forward to it.
The two lenses 24mm and 55mm I have had al these years in great condition. About a year ago..I opened my camera bag and they are in hard leather cases..but they were also wrapped in a thin sheet of foam which they came with for extra protection. Well, the foam disintegrated..and is all over the place and stuck on the lenses. So when I order the 7l00 B and H recommended a fluid with a cloth which I bought and have. I just have not used it yet..I put off dealing with them because it seems a low priority. Now I was going to buy compressed air but the sales person at B and H said you cannot mail it..so I will try a hair dryer on cool setting to see if I can get some of it off and then the rest with the fluid. The killer is that I had these lenses for years and used them when I was in Greece and it could sometimes reach 110 and more..for years I was there..and absolutely nothing happened to them. Nor in NYC I can add. Only when I moved down here to VA did this happen. I think they can be saved. Fingers Crossed..
I really appreciate the photo I took a screen shot...Your not an old geezer..I am sure I am older than you are. But hey thats great because a lad would not have the info. You have no idea how much I appreciate this information. I will come back here a lot I think. I mean even upgrade. But first i have to get the camera.
Thank you so much so so so much.

Phyllis -- There's no reference to "AI" or "AIS" on Nikon lenses. I think it was after 1977, that everything new was "AI." At the time, you could get original Nikon lenses "AI'd" for anywhere from $14.95 to $45 or so -- it depended on the lens. But again -- nowhere does it say "AI" on the lens. And the lenses that were "hacked" into "AI" lenses didn't get the new ring with the smaller-lettered f/stops. If you ever see one, they usually have a paper or other material "stick-on" with the small f-stops. You could see the f/stop through the viewfinder via an optical system and "window" at the bottom of the prism housing.
Compressed air? -- send someone to WalMart or any office supply store. They'll have it for sure. Just don't spray in into the back of the lens where it might get inside. The stuff includes fine liquid mist sometimes.
I'm sure you'll be able to clean the lenses up and be back in business. The fluid is probably alcohol. Don't use rubbing alcohol though -- it contains oil. It may take some patience -- and a few
q-tips, and maybe some wooden toothpicks for cracks and crevices! Then the focus dot in your viewfinder will indicate focus, as it works off of contrast vice any physical measurement.
BTW, my first Nikon used neither F-mount or AI lenses. It was my Dad's rangefinder Nikon S.

One again this is very helpful.
I don't think I have ever been to a forum with so many knowledgeable people. I am so pleased and thankful to everyone.I do not know how to say thank you properly because I am a bit mystified by the set up at the forum. I am actually a Moderator at a Photography website so I should not be having such a difficult time, but each time I return I am not sue who I am answering.
I am now about to call and order my camera as soon as it becomes 9AM because the package was received, and I have my credit. I am very excited. Once I have the camera in my hands I can come back here and look at all the suggestions again. I did watch some videos, and although there are many features on this camera, I do think the set up looks a lot like the Nikon D200 in terms of where things are.
Okay one more question. I am not sure if I mentioned this lens above.It is another AI lens..a 135mm f. 2.8 and that one is new and not covered in foam.It does have plastic around it. and it is in a leather case. I have used it once. It has no lens cap. I try all my current lens caps and none of them fit. This was smaller I think. Not even my 60mm micro fit. Do you know where I can find lens capes for older lenses.I do not even now what size it is. I feel a bit silly now...but if you or anyone does know where I can obtain one of these please let me know? Thanks. I will ask at B and H when I call now but when I searched nothing was to be found. If I knew the size I could maybe look on ebay.
Thank you so much...again for everything.
#26. "RE: For Jan" | In response to Reply # 25JonK Nikonian since 03rd Jul 2004Tue 09-Jul-13 10:59 AM
Hmmm. It's been almost forty years, but I vaguely recall that the 135mm f/2.8 lens was a 52mm filter, so you want a 52mm lens cap. You can probably order one when you order the new camera.

Hi Joseph,
Thank you for the link. I had not seen that one before and I will check it out.
What I am primarily interested in - is learning how to use this particular camera..I mean where the controls are, the menus, and very important the video since I have not worked with that before. I am not new to Photography or digital photography but the D800 has so many features that I would love to know exist. ) and how to work them. So I will have a look at that. There are many many books but videos are more difficult to find.
I thank you so much..

Thank you Jay..That sounds fantastic. I had bought the Nikon 7100 intending to buy an i-pad also...but I was not happy with the 7l00 and sent it back and then spent all my i-pad money on the D-800...which I am sure I will be happy with.However, I have a MacPro...so maybe there is an app for the Mac itself. Iam going to have a look. Thanks for this tip...there might be one...and that is a wonderful resource...

If text size is your visual issue, the BYTHOM guide for D800 is a PDF that can be opened full screen, significantly increasing the text size. The text ends up HUGE on my screen.
It costs money, but if it helps with your vision problem, it could be helpful.
All such facilities have strengths and weaknesses. I have found the bythom guide fairly helpful initially, but I tend to move on beyond such facilities. OTOH, I sense your experience level might be a little low, and this could the the cat's meow for you. ????????
Others might chime in re: this guide and its usefulness.

Hi Avi...
Thanks for the link.
Well, the text was excellent! I will have a closer look - I did not see the D800 in terms of details..but I will look closer. I was hoping for video training, which I see is in the next post.
How much experience do you think is necessary to read the books? I ask because I started in 1977 with photography in the darkroom, and as you might imagine I do
not have 30 plus years left. Smiling here.
Thank you,

Hi Clint,
That actually looks exceptionally good as it focuses specifically on the D800. It also seems extensive.
I did watch about l hour of clips from Kelby Training which was good, but basic.
This one looks more detailed.
So I will save this one.
I wanted to ask have you used this yourself? Was it worthwhile?

I have my blog installed in the root directory of my sites.
Using SPF plugin, even the forum is under WP control.
Now, my sites are really just a collection of static pages and don't really exploit WP potential as a blogging platform.
However, I have come up with the need for a real blog. Why should I utilize any other blogging platform than WP?
The problem is, If I eneble the blogging features the blog appear at the site's root, not at /blog which is the place where I want it to go.
How do I keep the site based on the root yet the blog on a subdirectory?
I have searched the net. It tells me how to do the reverse, that is to have your blog appear at root level but have the WP installed under a subdirectory, which is not what I want.
This is what I want:
I want it all controlled by WP. I have even the forum controlled by the SPF plugin, which is already done.
Can this be done?
Thanks a lot.

This is a slightly delayed post, originally intended to go out a few weeks ago for obvious reasons. But here, in a reflective mode as we prepare to enter a new year, I give you a highly suitable subject to aid in that reflection. The past.
One day in 1648 John Milton wrote in the family Bible:
"My daughter Mary was born on Wednesday Octob. 25th on the fast day in the morning about 6 o'clock 1648." Baby Mary was baptised on November 7th at St Giles in the Fields Church, which still stands (although rather rebuilt) just by Seven Dials.
In 1665 (aged 16 or 17) Mary married John Maugridge, and in 1669 she gave birth to a girl, Mary Milton Maugridge. It is interesting to note that this Mary, the third – as our first Mary's mother was Mary Powell, Milton's famous first wife, who left him for a time before coming back, thus engendering Milton's notorious support for divorce – died in Pennsylvania, in 1738.
Mary Powell married John Milton at the age of 17, by the way. It has been suggested that the match was proposed in payment of a debt to Milton's father – also John – a scrivener and moneylender. She was dead at 28. I've looked and looked and looked for a picture of her but I can't find one. (I'm working on it.)
By the way, when they talk about Milton dictating to his daughters and all that, they mean the other ones, Anne and Deborah. Mary was apparently much more like her mother – I feel that may be her in the grey dress above, looking seriously askance at her oblivious father – though by all accounts his relationship with all the girls was "strained".
He also had a proper secretary, a young man, whose job it was to come to the house every morning and take dictation of 40 lines of Miltonic blank verse, which the poet would have composed by memory during the preceding afternoon and night. So the girls had some help.
Well, and on August 16, 1689, our third Mary, Mary Maugridge, married a Quaker weaver called George Boone III. Here the plot thickens.
George Boone III and Mary Milton Maugridge had a son. Squire Boone was born on 25 Nov 1696 in Exeter, in what was then Devonshire. In about 1712, Squire sailed to America as a cabin boy, having been sent with two of his siblings to have a look and see if it would be worth the whole family settling there. It was. In 1717 his parents sailed over and the family settled in the environs of Philadelphia. In 1720, Squire married Sarah Morgan. Their daughter Hannah – the youngest or second-youngest of twelve – was born on 24 August 1746, in Pennsylvania. You can read more here.
Of course, Squire and Sarah Boone became rather distinguished in later life, as the parents of two rather distinguished sons – you'll know this if you clicked the link above. One was the famous pioneer Squire Boone Jr. The other was his even more illustrious brother Daniel, 14 years older than his sister Hannah. Daniel opened up Kentucky; was captured and adopted, and then escaped from, the Shawnee Indians; was famous all over the world, a template for the hero of the Wild West; and lived well into his eighties. In the States he is still, or was until the TV show, much more famous than Davy Crockett. And not many people know that he was the great-great-grandson of John Milton. (This also reminds me of a wonderful Davy Crockett joke, but I feel I should save it for another time…)
Hannah Boone married Richard Pennington in Yadkin, North Carolina on May 4, 1777. He was her second husband; the first (John Stewart) had been killed by Indians in Kentucky. (Pennington himself fought in the Revolutionary War, at Fort Osborne in Virginia.) They had four daughters: Sarah, Mary, Rachel and Elizabeth Stewart. She had four more children with Richard Pennington: Joshua, Daniel Boone, John Stewart and Abigail Pennington.
John Stewart Pennington was her little revolutionary baby boy, born on June 10th, 1784.
He grew up and married Jemima Hauser in March 1807. Their daughter, Hannah Boone Pennington, was born in Kentucky in 1820.
Hannah Pennington married William Bird Pile in December 1836, when she was 16 – and here we enter the history of my actual family.
Hannah's son William Stewart Pile was born around 1840 in McDonough Co., Illinois. At some point he married Mary M. Walker, and she duly gave birth in February, 1880, to Walter Clyde Pile, whose picture is on the front of my book.
He had tuberculosis of the hip and was, by all accounts, cantankerous as hell. A newspaperman and school commissioner who also ran a movie house. He died in 1957.
The sad truth is, though, that it is no great big deal being descended from Hannah Boone, as you can see. This list doesn't even include my family after William Stewart Pile.
His daughter Millie was born in 1906 and grew up in Protection, Kansas.
She went on the stage – that's another story – and there she met her husband Arthur Walwyn Evans. A 'distinguished Welsh orator," he was also an ordained minister of the cloth (though it didn't show so much at that time) – directly descended down a line of ministers from Bishop William Morgan, who translated the Bible into Welsh in 1596 (thereby singlehandedly saving the Welsh language from extinction, 23 years before the King James Version appeared). (And if you trace hers back past the Miltons etc, they're all in London and they're all called ap Llewellyn etc.)
As it happens, pace the Daniel Boone Shawnee story, my grandmother was also an honorary Blackfoot princess. Apparently the Blackfoot tribe LOVED her song & dance number, Smilin' Through. Notwithstanding that, she and her husband immediately got to work setting up with a house, a parish and a new life as pillars of society.
In 1934, along came their daughter Nancy, the oldest of four girls, and MY MOM. By this time the family was safely ensconced in the environs of New York City.
Forget all that virgin territory stuff.
Then I grew up and came back to London where it all started.
How do ya like that?

Product Description
Product Description
From the Manufacturer
Want the fastest SSDs that Corsair makes? Choose Force Series GT.
Built for speed.
You probably already know that solid-state drives are fast. With up to 85,000 IOPS and read speeds of up to 555Mb/s, Force Series GT is on another level. Whether you're building the ultimate gaming PC, a monster of a video or photo editing workstation, or you simply crave serious solid state storage performance, this is the SSD you want.
Real-world performance.
All the impressive performance numbers translate to this: disk operations up to four times faster than the fastest mechanical hard drives. Starting up your PC, launching applications, loading and saving large files and documents, and just about everything else you do with your PC is faster when you remove the bottleneck of old-fashioned hard drives.
The Force Series GT is particularly adept at moving compressed data. You'll appreciate this real-world benefit if you work with music, movie and graphics files.
Compatible with SATA 2 3Gb/s.
Haven't yet moved to SATA 3? Like all Corsair components, Force Series GT SSDs are designed to last through several system upgrades. Adding a Force Series GT today means that you'll still get incredible storage performance now, and you'll tap into its full performance potential with your next upgrade.
Corsair SSDs: Designed for Performance and Durability
TRIM Support
Force Series GT SSDs feature support for the Windows® 7 TRIM command. This allows them to store only the data they need and perform memory optimization to ensure the fastest possible write speeds.
Because SSDs have no moving parts, they can handle shock, vibration and temperature changes far in excess of mechanical hard drives. That's important for desktop PCs, and essential for notebooks.
Cool and Quiet, with Low Power Consumption
Traditional mechanical hard drives spin at thousands of revolutions per minute. This takes power, and generates noise and heat. Since SSDs have no moving parts, there's no noise or vibration, and the lower power consumption helps keep things cool inside your PC.
3.5" adapter
The 2.5" form factor allows for installation in most notebook PCs with no adapter required. If you're adding a Force Series GT SSD to your desktop PC, use the included 3.5" adapter to mount it in any standard hard drive bay.

Customer Reviews

1) Install your new SSD to an open SATA port (SATA 6Gb/s if you have it) on your computer first (before doing anything else) UPDATE the firmware. Corsair's firmware is in their forums, but this has to be done before doing a clean OS install.
2) Reboot into your BIOS and ENABLE AHCI under your SATA options (typically it's set to IDE)... this HAS to be done or else you'll see errors like others have mentioned.
3) Secure Erase the SSD
4) Install a clean version of Windows 7 (& ensure TRIM and AHCI are enabled in the registry)
After install I experienced 556 MB/s read and 493 MB/s write. It's just as fast as the OCZ Vertex 3 IMHO. This drive will not disappoint. MTBF of 2,000,000 hours and 3-year warranty to boot.
---IMPORTANT--- (added 1-21-2012): Before going any further, I just want to quickly share with you all a little bit of information. As you may or may not know, Corsair makes a sister-product line, the "Force 3" series. The Force 3 series uses asynchronous flash and the Force GT series uses synchronous flash. The Force GT (120GB version) also costs about $10 more than the Force 3 (120 GB version). This is me telling you to pay the extra and buy this product (the Force GT) and NOT the Force 3.Read more ›
- Crucial m4: Not so reliable after the recent BSOD issue, more expensive.
- Samsung 830: Similar performance, reliable but more expensive.
- Ocz Vertex 3 MIOPS: Stellar performance, unsure of reliability.
- Ocz Octane: Slower performance for 120G unit, 512GB too expensive.
- Intel 510: Solid reliability, but slower and way more expensive.
- Adata s511: Similar to Vertex3 but more expensive.
So after considering all this units I came to the conclusion that the best 120GB unit as of right now was the SandForce based Corsair Force GT for $174.99, I was a little concerned about the BSOD issues, but with the firmware v1.3.3 every thing is resolved now. A couple of months ago I got a new DELL E6520 laptop at work which came with a good 320GB WD Caviar Black, but I wanted to experience the speed that SSDs offer, and I got to tell you wow! what a mayor difference this new technology makes! my win7 boot time went from 1min 30sec down to 30sec... I was desperate to test this baby so I used Acronis True Image Home 2012 (which I got to make image backups of my WD drive) to clone my HDD, it only took 8min to clone my 30GB full system to the Force GT.
It's been a week now since I cloned my drive and I just love the performance this SSD has to offer, I now keep my WD as a second drive for all other data with Shared eSATA Cable for 2.5" SATA Laptop Hard Drive.Read more ›

I am so excited about this Crochet Pattern, and the versatility of this Hat.
It can be worn in so many different ways, with or without flowers and bows, with the brim up or down, or as a slouch hat!
If you like to try new designs and color combinations, use a novelty or mix different weight fibers, then this is the pattern for you.
I have added a mini tutorial on attaching the flowers and feathers to help you create that special heirloom. Some handsewing is required.
This pattern is written using American Standard Crochet terms.
This pattern can be made using novelty yarns, explanations are in the pattern, or you can use a standard 4-ply yarn during construction of the hat. Less than one skein per hat.
There are 8 pages of instructions, and 12 pictures to help you along, and of course I am always here to help.
I have been crocheting since I was a youngster, when my grandmother taught me, and I am on my 30th year of marriage! So..... too many years of crocheting experience to count.

After delivering a load of Ben and Jerry's ice cream from northern Vermont to Henderson, NV, I went to a local urgent care clinic in Henderson (on a Tuesday afternoon) because I was experiencing a respiratory problem that was not responding to my asthma medications. At the urgent care clinic, I was discovered to be in atrial fibriilation. I was immediately transported by ambulance to a local hospital, and was admitted into their ICU.
After a successful cardioversion treatment, and discharge from the hospital on Friday evening, I notified Denzil Edie, the safety coordinator, that I was prohibited from driving a semi until I was able to return to North Dakota and see a local cardiologist. Later that night, Denzil called my wife (not me) and informed her that another driver would be "retrieving" our truck Sunday at noon. He was aware that we were parked at the Wal-Mart in Henderson, unable to move the truck, and had no other options available.
My wife had to unload the truck into the Wal-Mart parking lot, while I was on oxygen tanks, unable to assist her. I was able to obtain a rental car and my wife and I drove to Mapleton (to the company yard) and retrieved our minivan. Because of space limitations in the rental car, we had to dispose of (throw away) most of our truck-related possessions, such as tools, CB, TV/DVD, bedding, and food.
To make a long story short, I was "separated" (not terminated) because I could not drive their truck any more, and was stranded with no options in Las Vegas. When I returned to their yard in Mapleton, I was informed that I no longer had a job nor a place to live, nor would I be transferred into a non-driving job until resolution of my medical situation. Denzil said that they did not want drivers working in the office, because then drivers could find out how things really run.
Once again, please be careful about working for this company. If you are ever incapacitated, you will be dumped on the side of the road like yesterday's garbage.

Hello I'm a complete newbie.
I'm interested to understand through an example if possible, how it could be possible to use shortcodes to insert relationships in templates and post/page objects.
I'm currently working with WP-Views who does a really nice job based mainly on shortcodes. And Post to Post works like a charm to connect Custom_Post.
So I would be interested to manage such shortcodes.
Thank you for your ideas and support.

Cracking The Beer Code
Denmark's TO ØL Brewery has released six beers whose names and labels touched off Da Vinci Code-level sleuthing on both sides of the Atlantic. The beers have names such as "Mr. Blue", and strange alphanumeric symbols on the label: a letter, a colon, and digits.
It turns out that the alphanumeric characters represent Cyan-Magenta-Yellow-Key symbols used for four-color process printing. For example, Mr. Blue's C:98, M:8, Y:6, K:0 is the printing "recipe" for the color blue. Other colors in the series include Blonde, Brown, Orange, Pink, White, and a forthcoming Brown.
The mystery doesn't end there. The beers' colorful names are tied to the 1992 film Reservoir Dogs in which the gem thieves adopted the names of colors as their aliases.
Finally, the brewery's name is part of the story. In Danish, "ØL" is similar to the English word ale. It's also an abbreviated adaption of the brothers' first names. In other words the name signifies, in English, "Two Founders, Two Beers".

An Oral History of Beer Label Design
As the craft beer industry grows more crowded, it becomes increasingly important for breweries to distinguish themselves from the competition. One way of doing so, aside from the beer itself, is the look and feel of the beer's packaging. Chris Wright of GearPatrol.com sought out a number of leading figures in the craft community, and asked them about the design of their beer labels.
Wright's panel of experts includes Brooklyn Brewery's Milton Glazer, who founded New York magazine and designed the iconic "I (Heart) NY" logo in the 1970s; Flying Dog Ales' Erin Weston, who works closely with Hunter S. Thompson's illustrator Ralph Steadman; and Dogfish Head Brewery's Sam Calagione, who really needs no introduction. Ten other designers, representing such well-known brands as Founders, Ommegang, and Sly Fox, also contributed to this fascinating oral history.
The designers come from various walks of life; and, as expected, many of them are home brewers. They explained to Wright what they wanted their labels to convey, such as psychedelia or fond memories of the beach. Perhaps the best comment came from Calagione, who told Wright that label design has become a challenge. He said, "It's getting harder to find fun, provocative on-brand names these days with 1.5 new breweries opening every day and only half a million words in the English language."

The new auto-embed feature of WordPress 2.9 is great! I have only two requests to make it perfect:
- Some way of setting a common width that all embedded videos will be set to (height should be set accordingly so the aspect ratio stays correct).
- A check box for centering all the auto-embedded videos.
The way it works now works great, but I think embedded videos look a lot better when they are the same width as the text column and/or centered. And if embedding several videos on a single page, they look a lot better if they have the same width. In my opinion anyways :)
