Service animals are allowed in the cabin, under certain conditions, or as checked baggage, free of charge.
What pets are allowed in the passenger cabin and what as checked baggage?
Only domestic dogs or cats are allowed as pets in cabin, provided that other applicable restrictions are complied.
Hawaiian Airlines accepts only domestic dogs, cats, and household birds as checked baggage, if all other applicable restrictions are complied.
Any other animals are not accepted!
What responsibilities do I have?
You have to make advance arrangements with Hawaiian Airlines, contacting the Reservation Department to make reservation for your pet. The first come, first serve rule applies. Hawaiian Airlines allows a limited number of pets per flight, in the passenger compartment, or as checked baggage, depending on the type of aircraft and route.
You must supply your own pet carrier, insuring that the container meets all governmental requirements for the safe and humane transportation of the animal being transported.
You are responsible for obtaining or your pet a health certificate signed/issued by a licensed/certified veterinarian prior to the first departure date as follows:
- 14 days prior to travel to Hawaii.
- 10 days prior to travel from Hawaii.
- Not required to travel within the State of Hawaii.
You have to assume full responsibility for complying with any applicable laws, customs, and government regulation requirements or restrictions of the country, state, and territory to which the animal is being transported.
Carry-on Pets
Pet containers allowed are "sherpa" or kennel. One passenger can transport only one container, and one container may be occupied by only one adult dog or cat. Up to 2 puppies, or 2 kittens at least 8 weeks, but no more than 6 months, may be carried in one kennel, provided they comply with the maximum weight restriction. Your pet must remain in the container, and the container must be stored beneath the seat in front of you.
Pet carrier weight and size restrictions:
- Maximum weight: 25 lbs / 11 kg.
- Maximum length: 16 inches / 40 cm.
- Maximum width: 10 inches / 25 cm.
- Maximum depth: 9.5 inches / 24 cm.
Route restrictions:
- Not accepted on flights into Hawaii, due to quarantine restrictions set by the Hawaii Department of Agriculture.
- Not accepted on International flights.
- Not accepted on flights to/from JFK.
- Accepted on Neighbor Island flights, and Hawaii to North America flights (except JFK).
For pets traveling in the passenger cabin, Hawaiian Airlines charges the following fees one-way, per kennel:
- $ 35 – within the State of Hawaii, if in lieu of one piece on carry-on.
- $ 175 – for flights from Hawaii to North America.
All fees subject to change.
Checked Pets
If you want to check-in your pet, you need a hard-sided container complying with the following size restrictions:
|Type of aircraft
|Length (inches)
|Width (inches)
|Height (inches)
Pet acceptance as checked baggage is subject to weight limitation. Hawaiian Airlines does not allow a weight over 70 lbs / 32 kg for the pet and kennel. If maximum weight exceed, you may use the cargo shipment option and refer to Hawaiian Airlines Cargo.
Additional conditions regarding route, temperature, embargo period, snub nose dogs and cats, etc., apply to the acceptance of animals as checked baggage.
Hawaiian Airlines allows maximum 3 pets per flight, for all types of aircraft on first come, first serve basis. One passenger may check-in more than one pet, as long as the aircraft limitation is not exceeded and kennel requirements are met.
For pets traveling in the baggage compartment, Hawaiian Airlines charges the following fees one-way per kennel:
- $ 60 – within the State of Hawaii.
- $ 225 – for all other flights.
All fees subject to change.
Service Animals
Service animals are accepted based on the credible verbal assurance from the Qualified Individual with a Disability that the animal is a trained service animal, or written documentation.
Current documentation must be provided when traveling with an animal that is used as an emotional support or psychiatric service. Although Hawaiian Airlines Emotional considers support and psychiatric service animals to be service animals, other rules may apply in different states and/or countries, and you must check with the local government agencies for entry requirements.
Properly harnessed or leashed, service animals are confined to sit in the lap, or in the space under the seat. If a service animal requires the leg space of a second seat, the passenger must purchase it at full fare, but can refund it without a fee if space still available in the day of departure. If no accommodation can be made to fit safely in the cabin, the service animal must be checked as baggage.

Yikes, guess I haven't been around for a while and voila! We have tapatalk! Sweet, I got the ball rolling and now we have it.
I got it rolling on another forum too. Cool.
Heads up to all tapatalk users on android. TAPATALK 4 is available for a limited time for a dollar. It's usually $4. It's a more powerful forum experience for android 4.0 and up.
Sadly you have to buy again, but it's a worthwhile upgrade.
Fear of the unknown...They are afraid of new ideas. they are loaded with prejudices, not based upon anything in reality, but based on if something is new, I reject it immediately because its frightening to me. What they do instead is just stay with the familiar.

1:42 p.m.
What a turn of events late in the half.
Andrew Robinson throws a frozen rope to Jawad Neshiwat for a 1st down, but then is leveled on a Rutgers blitz on the next play and fumbles the ball, which is recovered by the bad guys. What a demoralizing play.
Rutgers goes right up the field with what little time they have left and thankfully misses a 45-yard field goal as time expires.
Syracuse will get the ball to start the 2nd half and they have to put points up right away or this game is over. Rutgers is like the snowball rolling down the hill right now. They have taken possession of the momentum of this game and look like they are ready to cash in their chips.
BTW, Rutgers WR Kevin Britt has 176 yards at the half alone.
See you for the 3rd quarter after a cookie run.
1:40 p.m.
Rutgers is partly keeping Syracuse in this by piling up the dumb penalties. They have 8 in the first half total.
A pass interference call with :50 left in the half keeps SU alive with a new set a downs and the ball now near midfield.
1:36 p.m.
From the world of "woulda, coulda, shoulda", Max Suter was just an ankle tackle away from running back a kickoff for a TD.
Ahh fiddle sticks.
1:33 p.m.
I always defend Jameel McClain for this reason.
The kid makes big plays.
A tipped pass at the line by McClain prevents a Rutgers TD and forces them to kick a 25-yard FG.
Rutgers 24
13 plays 73 yards 4:31
1:26 left in the 1st half.
Syracuse gets the ball now and to start the 2nd half.
1:32 p.m.
3rd and goal from the 8-yard line for Rutgers with 1:34 left.
This would be huge if SU can hold them to a field goal as the Orange gets the ball to open the 2nd half.
If Rutgers goes up 28-14, they could have this game in their hands for good.
1:28 p.m.
Rutgers is on another long drive. If they keep this up and score, SU might not have alot of time to respond.
Teel is back on track after a rough 1st Quarter. Kevin Britt is slicing up the SU secondary right now like a Ginsu knife through a tomato can.
He just caught a 40-yard pass and put Rutgers in scoring position again.
1:20 p.m.
OG Ryan Durand was shaken up on the last play and limped off the field.
1:13 p.m.
TOUCHDOWN RUTGERS!! Kevin Britt on the 42-yard TD catch.
I know this may come as a huge surprise, but Nick Chesnut just got torched on that play. He can't keep up with Britt. Get him off the field or put him on someone else Grob.
4 plays 65 yards 1:34
1:08 p.m.
Brown meets Brown.
Ouch. Tim Brown just got JACKED UP! by SU's Quinton Brown on a booming punt by Rob Long.
Brown picks up a 15 yard personal foul penalty for the play. Tim Brown didn't call a fair catch and was running forward when Quinton Brown hit him.
1:06 p.m.
This is what kills Syracuse. Just kills them. Taj Smith had one right in his hands on a good throw by Arob and just flat out drops it.
*Banging head on desk*
1:03 p.m.
Talk about being handed lemons and making lemonade. Because Arob has to escape the pocket so much, he is developing into quite a runner. Kid has guts too, not always taking the slide or the sideline route. Syracuse needed a first down there to keep the ball out of Rutgers hands and he did it.
I hope we don't see too much of it, but how much of a difference is it between Arob and Perry Patterson in that department?
He is hanging tough today.
12:55 p.m.
That didn't take long. Ray Rice plunges in for the 1-yard TD.
Rutgers 14
What a game so far. Can SU keep punching back?
12:52 p.m.
Devin McCourty blocks a punt and it's recovered by Julian Hayes. Since neither of those names sound familiar to you, that's not good.
Rutgers has it on the one yard line.
12:50 p.m.
Doug Hogue is in. Yippee.
12:48 p.m.
No, seriously.
12:48 p.m.
Big blown series by Rutgers. On 3rd and 6, Teel avoided the corner blitz and had Tim Brown wide open, who just flat out dropped it. He wouldn't have made the first down anyway as Dowayne Davis was all over him.
12:44 p.m.
The learning process of Arob continues. He took the safe route by passing to Taj Smith, but Mike Williams was open behind the secondary. It truly is a game of inches and seconds sometimes. SU has to punt it for the first time today.
12:38 p.m.
And boom goes the dynamite!! Ray Rice runs in from 7 yards away for the RUTGERS TD.
SU 14, Rutgers 7.
6 plays, 56 yards, 3:30
Rutgers sliced right through the SU secondary on that drive and responded nicely to Syracuse grabbing the momentum. Now, it's a game again.
12:37 p.m.
Nick Chesnut just got dragged about 20 yards by Rutgers WR Kenny Britt. Britt is 6-4 205.
Chesnut is 5-11 184. You do the math.
12:31 p.m.
Rutgers had another nice kick return to midfield by sophmore Tim Brown.
12:26 p.m.
TOUCHDOWN CURTIS BRINKLEY!!! A 15-yard TD run.
SU 14, Rutgers 0
7 plays, 84 yards, 3:14
Syracuse picked up some solid first downs that drive with a good mix of the run and the pass and held on to the ball for a sustained amount of time.
Rutgers has to be wondering what the hell is going on here. Frankly, so am I.
The crowd is jacked.
12:24 p.m.
Big play Orange! AROB to Jawad Neshiwat for a huge 38-yard pass. Let's keep up the aggressive play calling Brian White.
12:23 p.m.
For the love of God...get off the field TV guy!!!
12:19 p.m.
Ben Maljovec is having a good game early on. The big INT that led to the TD and a booming tackle on a Rutgers swing pass.
12:16 p.m.
Mike Teel is back on the field at QB after running briefly to the locker room.
12:11 p.m.
TOUCHDOWN SYRACUSE!! AROB to Mike Williams for the 17 yard strike. Nice pass towards the sideline and a wide open Williams did the rest
Syracuse 7, Rutgers 0
3 plays 21 yards :51
What was someone saying about getting to Mike Teel and taking advantage? Hmmm...
12:10 p.m.
Rutgers QB Mike Teel just ran into the locker room. Stay tuned to see if he comes back.
12:08 p.m.
INTERCEPTION BEN MALJOVEC!!!! OH BABY!...Big play early.
Man, what an ugly throw by Teel. But we'll take it.
12:05 p.m.
Uggg...Rutgers has a nice return to start by James Townsend, his first touch all season.
They'll start at midfield.

Sumo Wrestling Gambling Scandal
Sumo Wrestling Gambling Scandal
Japan's national sport, sumo wrestling, has always had a plague of some sort whether it's the frat house like hazing process, drug abuse issues, dwindling popularity, or shortage of new wrestlers.
Now there is another issue propping back up of illegal gambling and mob connections where the sumo wrestlers are betting on baseball games and breaching the discipline that is aligned with the sport.
Over 29 sumos and club owners who are called Stable Masters have confessed to the betting of baseball games albeit without handicappers help as to bet on a game you need to know in depth statistics and have time to study games, players, and a variety of other factors. Also betting is not a cheap endeavor so the public is shocked to know that the most popular televised wrestlers are those involved as they can afford to place
The governing body fired famous wrestler Ozeki Kotomitsuki as well as his stable master Otake. The scandal involves mobsters and the JSA (Japan Sumo Association) did not expel them which would bar them for life (a pete rose like ban) which would take away their retirement packages.
This scandal also had caused the arrest of a retired sumo-wrestler & plenty of other mix ups in the stables.
The sport dates back over 1500 years and is struggling to deal with the scandal.
Believe it or not a hair dresser was serving as a courier for the wrestlers and the mobsters (yakuza) to place the wagers. The hair dressers were involved because they made the topknots (uniforms) that they wear in the ring and are usually present at the training grounds.
Scandals have hit sumo wrestling quite a bit recently even being featured in a new york times best seller Freakonomics. In 2007 a teenager was killed during the hazing process in a violent and arduous training session. Than pot got another 4 canned and banned.
The sport is really struggling to showcase discipline and the high standards that the culture is supposed to hold up to.
One interesting fact is that the mob is taking front row seats at big tournaments to show the friends in jail that they are doing well when they see them on national tv one of the few things convicts are allowed to watch live and this lets the Mafioso boss in prison know that all is well on the home front.
Freakanomics discussed match fixing but yet the association has never had the guts to investigate the alleged scandal due to the repercussions that would be caused if such a story were ever factually proven to be true. The biggest scare is that the mob has the money and power to help rig matches to pad their pockets.
If you are allowed to bet on baseball and are not a professional sumo wrestler than please feel free to check out our live baseball odds, online sportsbooks that we approve of, and our baseball picks.

One part is held stationary in a fixture, while the other is rotated against it under pressure. The frictional heat that is generated causes the part interfaces to melt and fuse together, creating a strong, hermetic seal.

Outlook: Two years removed from an appearance in the state tournament, Mohawk still has a number of the players who made that run possible.
But Hoover said that doesn't guarantee anything. And while the coach said high expectations always are a part of his teams, there are question marks about this squad.
"It's hard to say," Hoover said about what he's expects this year. "We have high expectations for ourselves every year, but we lost a lot of experience and a lot of talent.
"Every night I don't think there's anybody we can't beat, but we know there's a lot we have to do because there's a lot of teams that can beat us, too."
Mohawk brings back the Adelsperger trio, McClain and Flood. So far, Hoover said any issues have little to do with talent.
"It's not really a skill thing as it is an attitude thing," Hoover said. "They have to have more fun. One of our strong suits is our defense. They put a little too much pressure on ourselves. We're not gonna play perfectly. We've got to move on from our mistakes."

Old Questions – New Answers? A Few Notes on the New State Property Act
Let there be no illusions: in the legal regulation of state asset management - on account of the complexity of the state's institutional system, the differentiation of the assets managed and the necessarily contradictory system of objectives of the state's exercising of owner's rights - there are no perfect solutions. All proposals and decisions can only weigh advantages and disadvantages. With this in mind, the study formulates a few discussion points based on research experience from a researcher's perspective. Of these, it considers it extremely important to review the justification for state ownership based on a theoretical reflection of the scope and means of efficiently attending to public tasks and, taking this as a starting point, the filtering of the current portfolio and the extension of state property, a more detailed regulation of the aims, methods and evaluation criteria of asset management, as well as annual reports based on reliable records. The latter can only be credible if they cover all state property, take into account all related financial expenditures and handle changes to the composition of the property separately.

Capital Area Transit System CEO Brian Marshall revealed a business plan on how the struggling public transportation service plans to utilize an additional $15 million in tax revenue at a finance and executive meeting Wednesday, but while most CATS board members generally favored the plan, others expressed concern over the system's ability to deliver all the promised reforms on time.
"There were two goals for the planned document. First goal was to make sure the plan was responsive to the public and make sure it was high in public participation. The second goal was to make sure the plan was sustainable," Marshall said.
CATS promised voters in the cities of Baker and Baton Rouge they would decrease wait times between buses, establish three new transfer centers, overhaul bus stops with new shelters and benches and upgrade the hub and spoke organization to a more modernized grid system by 2014.
During the course of 2013, CATS is expected to contract with a community relations firm to seek public input from riders, create several new express routes, roll out 25 new shelters, and improve on-time arrival performances by 20 percent. Marshall broke out the year's timeline by quarters, and said he expects to ask the East Baton Rouge Parish Metro Council for approval of the new routes by the third quarter.
CATS originally promised Together Baton Rouge, a coalition of local churches instrumental in getting the 10.6-mill tax passed last April, they would install 75 shelters across the system's bus routes by the end of the year. Marshall also pledged the coalition they would overhaul their difficult to navigate website by the end of April.
A representative from Together Baton Rouge did not return a message from NOLA.com | The Times-Picayune, but coalition leader Dianne Hanley said during the meeting that they wanted the shelters to be in place "on schedule."
CATS board member and councilman Ryan Heck, who has been especially vocal about the lack of a comprehensive business plan, said Marshall's implementation process was a step in the right direction.
Heck had previously blasted Marshall for focusing only on the goals for 2014 instead of laying out exactly how the public transit agency was going to achieve them. Heck has also said the plan should have been received when the agency proposed the property tax a year ago, instead of after taxpayer revenue began lining the CATS coffer.
Gary Owens, CATS' chief financial officer, said in an email the agency received $8,898,000 in January from taxes paid in December and $4,617,000 in February from taxes paid in January. The rest will trickle in on a monthly basis, he said.
Board members Jared Loftus and Deborah Roe also shared doubts over the viability of Marshall's timeline, pointing out that several of the deadlines have already passed. Loftus also questioned whether the service would be able to deliver all their promises by the end of the year, saying Marshall's implementation plan was still missing a few key aspects.
"My concern is the pace at which we're addressing the whole shelter project and the fact that we have deadlines in this layout that you've presented that have already passed," Roe said. "It just seems like this could be accelerated a little bit."
Marshall said the goal was to implement a system that was the product of deliberate planning, rather than a service haphazardly thrown together.
Chairman of the board Isaiah Marshall, who applauded the implementation schedules, said what he's most please about is how they can now move the conversation from, "CATS not having a plan to CATS actually having one."
Isaiah Marshall, who is not related to Brian Marshall, has always maintained the agency had an implementation plan.
Brian Marshall also discussed augmenting the staff to help transition the service as it almost doubles in scope. He said they would outsource a temporary project manager while hiring a human resources director and chief operating officer permanently.
The agency recently received the results of a $20,000 consulting report from TMG Consulting of New Orleans that recommended the transportation service replace top management officials with outside, contracted management. CATS management largely rejected the report, saying, "the management team found the TMG media comments to be unprofessional, condescending and profoundly separate from what the scope of work was."
Board member Montrell McCaleb, who has been especially critical of the TMG report, said he was satisfied with the implementation plan, adding Brian Marshall "should hang in there because you're doing a good job with this."
"This package tells me services are going to be on point for 2014," McCaleb said.
Committee members approved a motion to accept the report and send it to the planning commission, a three-member committee made up of Loftus, Marston Fowler and Dalton Honore.

Senior art students going out with a Pop!Posted January 20, 2011
To get ahead, artists have got to stand out. They've got to know how to make their work pop. Five ACU seniors in the Department of Art and Design are showing off and standing out in their art show, "Pop!", this Friday, January 21.
The collaborative show will feature the work of Annika Ringle, Sara Morris and Will Reid, studio art majors, and graphic design majors Bonni Wattigney and Katherine Seibert.
Ringle, the originator of the show's theme, says it was inspired by an exhibition by Dada artist Man Ray. He invited gallery-goers to interact in his exhibition by popping balloons that revealed his artwork.
Likewise, the students are making their show about more than just a viewing of art on the wall. In fact, the first 100 attendees at the opening will take home original artwork from one of the five artists.
"We like the idea of people getting to not only see the art but touch it and connect with it," says Ringle. "We want people to be able to carry a piece of this experience away with them."
Weeks of brainstorming and good old elbow grease have gone into preparing the Shore Art Gallery to feature the five artists' work.
"We've put so much effort into making the opening of this show a complete experience – to make the gallery feel like a fun, unique environment," says Morris. "We think it'll be an event to remember."
The show opens Friday, Jan. 21, 7-9 p.m. It is free and open to the public.

Enlightened Reform Movement Equally Disappointed in Israel and the Palestinians
The term "Two states for two people" is beginning to emerge these days as a definition of the Jews of Israel and their recently related Jews of the United States. Yesterday we were treated to a story about an Upper West Side synagogue rejoicing in the upgrading of the Palestinian Liberation Organization to a UN member state, and today our brothers and sisters across the mighty ocean are joining with the rest of the so called "civilized nations" in condemning plans for Jews to build homes in their homeland.
Are we even related any more?
Here's the press release as it appears on the URJ website:
Reform Movement Focuses on Follow Up To UN Vote Upgrading Palestinian Status
New Policy Statement: Condemns Palestinians for Unilateral UN Action; Calls for American Leadership; Opposes Immediate Punitive Responses; Calls on Israel to Halt Plans for Expansion in West Bank E1 area
In a new policy statement adopted by the Union for Reform Judaism and the Central Conference of American Rabbis, the nation's largest Jewish denomination addressed the full array of issues flowing from the decision of the UN to upgrade the official status of the Palestinians.
The statement, adopted overwhelmingly after a full debate by more than 200 board members at yesterday's meeting of the Union of Reform Judaism's North American Board of Trustees, "Condemn[s] the Palestinian Authority for the unilateral decision to seek upgraded status at the United Nation as counterproductive to the cause of peace, and express[es] … deep concern to those countries that supported the upgraded status, and to those who abstained."
The resolution, which is available here, was supported by the Zionist arms of the Reform Movement – ARZA and ARZA Canada. The Central Conference of American Rabbis fully endorsed the resolution today.
The resolution "Commend[s] the U.S. and Canada for their forceful and consistent efforts to prevent consideration of, and for their votes against, the General Assembly's decision to upgrade the Palestinian's status. It further urges the "United States and Canada to act assertively in facilitating a return to negotiations and to take other steps that would strengthen the prospects for a negotiated two-state solution."
The URJ and the CCAR also reiterated longstanding concern about Israeli settlement building, and expressed opposition to the Israeli government's plans to move forward with building in the critical E1 area. The resolutions note that "Settlements in E1—the area connecting Jerusalem to a city which is one of the larger Israeli settlements—would split the Ramallah region off from Bethlehem, effectively cutting the West Bank in two and making a contiguous Palestinian state virtually impossible." It further said that "Building there makes progress toward peace far more challenging, and is difficult to reconcile with the Government of Israel's stated commitment to a two-state solution. At the same time, we recognize that this week's action–beginning the permitting process for new settlement–is only the first step in a long, and by no means inevitable, process."
There you go, even handed, polite, very concerned. I wish all the other gentiles were this nice to us when they sold us down the river.
Because this certainly doesn't read like something your brothers or sisters would write when you're in the midst of being attacked by the entire world, practically.
The same URJ website features a fig leaf in the form of a fund raiser to support terror victims in Israel.:
We Stand With Israel
During this difficult time, we support the people of Israel
The Jewish Federations of North America's Israel Terror Relief Fund is a vital way to stand shoulder to shoulder with the people of Israel at this critical time. Jewish Federations have committed up to $5 million to the Israel Terror Relief Fund for the immediate needs of the people of Israel, especially in the South, through both existing reserve funds and new contributions from Federations.
It's nice to get a gift from America, and $5 million will go a long way towards repairing the billions in damage – assuming URJ doesn't keep a cut to cover their "costs." But they could keep their lovely money and instead behave like family.
Here's how it's done in a family: when a relative is in pain – if you can't support him outright, and that's understandable – at least shut the bloody hell up. Don't go preaching to people living in Ma'ale Adumim how much better off they would be once the trucks come to pick them up to make room for a contiguous Palestinian state. Shut up and let your family be.Yori Yanover

on August 30, 2012 - 6:04 PM
, updated August 30, 2012 at 6:09 PM
Vines do some jobs that no other plants can. They climb trees, walls or fences, and clamber over banks and berms. They soften edges and connect houses to surrounding grounds. They block the neighbors or their garage, swimming pool or garbage cans. In small yards they add vertical interest and define spaces. And, in the wrong place they can be aggressive, troublesome invaders.
Vines are any plants that can climb as they spread, but they need an arbor, ladder, obelisk, pergola, trellis, wall or fence.
When you plant a vine, start with the kind of structure the species requires.
Right vine, right support
Size and strength are the first considerations. Many a tree has been smothered by, and many a trellis has collapsed under, Virginia creeper, wild grape, trumpet vine or wisteria.
For large vines, build a pergola or another strong structure using 2-by-4s. The beautiful, fragrant Sweet Autumn Clematis (Clematis paniculata) is vigorous; give it a whole fence or arbor. Hydrangea vine and its copy-cat Schizophragma hydrangeoides appear mild-mannered in early years, but develop sturdy, heavy stems and will need a solid fence or wall. Read between the lines on plant tags, and get advice. If the tag says �Height: to 30 feet,� believe it.
Next, find out how the vine climbs: does it cling or attach?
Thignotropic vines can grasp and climb on their own. The ones with grasping tendrils are Boston ivy, Virginia creeper, porcelain vine, clematis, ornamental grape and the annuals sweet pea, morning glory and passionflower vine. They can grasp other plants, chain link fence, string, nets or lattice.
Other vines have rootlets or parts called �holdfasts� that emerge from the stem and attach to rough surfaces � picture climbing hydrangeas, English ivy, wintercreeper and trumpet vines. They can attach to brick, bark, stone, and most kinds of fencing.
Other vines don�t have built-in grasping ability, but instead wind themselves around a support � for example Akebia, Ampelopsis, Dutchman�s pipe, Chinese and Japanese wisteria, clematis, trumpet honeysuckle, silver lace and trumpet vines.
Many annual vines also do this: Black-eyed Susan vine, moonflower, Spanish flag and scarlet runner bean. These vines only grow in one direction � either clockwise or counterclockwise. Just try to wind a morning glory around a string the wrong way; you�ll see it unwound on the ground in the morning.
A few vines don�t attach themselves to anything, unless you tie them. These will just clamber along, upward or outward, wherever you put them: climbing roses, and the annuals bougainvillea, nasturtium and sweet potato vine. Fortunately, when it�s time to tie up the New Dawn rose, today you�ll find convenient Velcro-type ties that are much easier than the twine, rags and panty hose we used to use.
What a vine needs
Perennial vines, like every plant, need the soil and site conditions that suit their species. Plant them in compost-amended soil any time, although with vines do it sooner rather than later; some vines (wisteria, trumpet vines) can take years to flower. Recently planted vines need care, especially deep watering, during the first years in the ground.
For optimum performance, the primary site consideration is light � and this is the problem for lots of vine shoppers: You want a plant that climbs a fence or tree that typically is shading the plant, but the plant requires �full to part sun.� What�s with that?
Only a few vines really grow well in shady locations. All vines are �phototropic� (growing toward light), so if they can reach the sunlight before rotting or getting discouraged, some will thrive in less than ideal sites. Clematis are known for needing shaded roots and sunlight on top growth. But if the plant�s entire life will be lived in shade, only climbing hydrangea and Virginia Creeper are likely to please. For partial shade � at least some sunlight or dappled sun every day � Schizophragma, Dutchman�s pipe, Akebia and some ivies will do.
Pruning vines is a topic worth its own book, and your pruning choices will greatly affect how some plants perform � whether or when they bloom or fruit, the shape and size they attain, and how much you�ll enjoy them. No need to learn pruning when you plant your vine, but plan to learn within the year. It�s something ever owner can manage.
Vines to avoid: Two vines are considered seriously invasive plants of New York State: Oriental bittersweet (Celastrus orbiculatus) and Porcelain berry (Ampelosis brevipedunculata). They displace desirable native plants and run rampantly where they are introduced into the natural landscape. Avoid choosing them and opt instead for American bittersweet (Celastrus scandens). While not an officially named invasive plant, Silver Lace Vine (Polygonum aubertii) is aggressive, weedy and rarely the best choice.
Another invasive thug is Persicaria perfoliata, previously called Polygonumperfoliatum with the indicative common name mile-a-minute vine.
So far it has been found mostly on Long Island and in the lower Hudson Valley in New York State, but it is common in many parts of Pennsylvania. If you spot an aggressive vine with thorny stems and triangular, alternate leaves, contact the DEC or Cornell Cooperative Extension. For more information on non-native invasive plants, see www.cce.cornell.edu.
The final warning concerns the choice of vines in general. The wrong choice or the wrong placement of a vine carries more weight than an error with a perennial or even a small shrub. Some vines, once they get going, are very hard to remove � silver lace vine, trumpet vine or hops, for instance. Other vines take so long to show you their best (wisteria, climbing hydrangea) that it�s a shame to find out only then that they don�t suit the situation.
A vine in the right place is a powerful asset. On any garden walk or garden tour, some of the most striking plants you see are vines � climbing, blocking the uglies, flowering, dividing areas and leading the eye upward. Choose well and enjoy them.

Butcherby Nicolas Billon
An old man in a military uniform is dumped at the police station--he won't speak English but has a lawyer's card in his pocket. A seemingly innocuous encounter gets stranger and stranger as we gradually realize no one is who they seem and the Balkan wars' traumas continue to play out. The "It Kid" of Canadian theater, award-winning playwright Nicolas Billon, returns with a devastating parable.Nicolas Billon's plays and translations have been produced at the Stratford Festival, Soulpepper Theatre, and Canadian Stage. Fault Lines won the Governor General's Award, and his first play, The Elephant Song, is being developed into a film starring Catherine Keener.
Fault Linesby Nicolas Billon
In Greenland, the discovery of a new island off the nation's coast mirrors a growing rift between the island's discoverer and his family. In Iceland, set against the backdrop of the banking crisis, a confrontation between a real estate agent and a tenant takes an unexpected turn. A young woman's idealism is challenged by the infamous whale hunt in Faroe Islands. Nicolas Billon's critically acclaimed trilogy asks the audience to consider the values that guide human relations. As the characters confront us with their stories - at times confession, at times diatribe - we are forced to reckon with their yearning to belong to something larger than themselves. A striking new voice that can be described as a hybrid of Wallace Shawn and Neil Labute, Fault Lines showcases the wit and dark humour of its author, and offers a compelling exploration of relationships and the challenges of connecting to others in a meaningful way.

Oh holy night, the stars are brightly shining.
It is the night of our dear Saviour's birth.
Long lay the world in sin and error pining,
'til he appeared and the soul felt its worth.
A thrill of hope the weary world rejoices,
for yonder breaks a new and glorious morn.
Fall on your knees,
Oh hear the angel voices.
Oh night divine, oh night, that leads to morn.
Fall on your knees,
Oh hear the angel voices.
Oh night divine, oh night, when Christ was born.
Oh night, oh holy night, oh night divine.
Hold me in your arms,
Hold me in your arms,
I'll be buried here with you.
And I'll hold in these hands,
All that remains.

The ongoing saga of Mitchelstown centre
Published 27/12/2012 | 21:49
2012 saw yet another tumultuous chapter in the tale of the long-proposed Mitchelstown Leisure Centre.
The year started with word that a group were looking to develop a sports centre on the Glanworth Road, separate to the well established Leisure Centre group.
In January Leisure Centre Chairman Ben Lynch said the group would support the idea of bringing all Mitchelstown's clubs under the one location.
"Despite the potential for delays that might result for the Canon's Field, we are prepared to give the promoters time to make progress. We would see no advantage in rushing ahead just because we've received our planning permission and it would threaten the viability of both projects if two of them went ahead in competition with each other," Mr Lynch said at the time.
As the year progressed, however, tensions rose as the group leading the charge for the Glanworth Road site sought to bring the Leisure Centre to their development.
Despite a public meeting in the Fir Grove Hotel, the Leisure Centre group were adamant that the long- awaited facility would go into the Canon's Field site in the centre of the town - and in December received a government grant for the plans. Mr Lynch has also indicated that the group are ready to put the development to tender shortly.
As the year ends, local Junior Minister Sean Sherlock has offered to intervene to bring a resolution to the situation, which looks to roll on.

Dipolar Microwave Plasma Source
Application ID: 10512
This model presents a 2D axisymmetric dipolar microwave plasma source sustained through resonant heating of the electrons. This is known as electron cyclotron resonance (ECR), which occurs when a suitable high magnetic flux density is present along with the microwaves.
This is an advanced model that showcases many of the features that make COMSOL unique, including:
- Infinite elements for the magnetostatic model.
- Functional-based mesh adaption to create a fine mesh on the ECR surface.
- PMLs for the electromagnetic waves to represent
- Degrees of freedom for all 3 components of the high-frequency electric field despite the fact that the problem is geometrically axisymmetric.
- Full anisotropic tensors for the plasma conductivity and charged particle transport properties.
- Resonant power absorption in the ECR surface by the electrons.
- Equation-based modeling using integrated quantities to fix the total absorbed power.
- Solver sequencing to first compute the static magnetic field, then solve for all the plasma components.
This application was built using the following:Plasma Module
The combination of COMSOL® products required to model your application depends on the physics interfaces that define it. Particular physics interfaces may be common to several products (see the Specification Chart for more details). To determine the right combination of products for your project, you should evaluate all of your needs in light of each product's capabilities, consultation with the COMSOL Sales and Support teams, and the use of an evaluation license.

But don't fret! Today I am pleased to announce my newest sponsor and a fabulous giveaway!
Where did you come up with the name for your Etsy shop? Before I opened my shop, I was going to school for something completely unrelated to jewelry-making: addictions counselling. I worked in a lot of random jobs, from homeless shelters to jail kitchens & as much as I enjoyed it, there always felt like something was missing. Corrections & Addictions are very conservative environments, so my creativity was always stifled. I wasn't even allowed to wear jewelry to work! When I decided to open my jewelry shop, everything just clicked. It was as if I was finally finding my own brilliance. Alternatively, I like to think of my jewelry pieces as "finding the brilliance" within the materials I'm using, so both ways it fits. Suddenly it hit me: Brilliance Found! And as soon as I said it aloud, I knew that was it.
What or who are your inspirations? I love creating nature-inspired pieces, because there's so much beauty in the natural world already. I love being able to capture earth's elegance in my designs. I also spend a lot of time tweaking my designs to make sure they flow with the wearer — I like my jewelry to be interactive & fit as if it "was meant to be there".
What are 3 of your favorite items from your shop? It feels like I'm always finding new favorites, but my staples are my Floating Butterflies Ring, my Flying Wings Ring & my Arrow Ring.. they are probably my favorite pieces to wear, because they look so neat on the hand. Rings are such a quick, easy way to add some style to any outfit — I never leave the house without one!
Where do you see yourself and your shop at this time next year? In another year, I'd like to expand my business to sell in more shops across the world. It can be hard to sell jewelry online, because often people want to try on the pieces & you never know how something fits until it arrives. So I love the idea of allowing my customers the ability to run down to their favorite local boutique & pick up some Brilliance!
What is one piece of advice you would give to aspiring Etsy shop owners? If you want your shop to be big, you need to work your shop as if it's already big. If things are slow, use that time to improve your shop… because once you get busy, you'll have a lot less time to do so!

The St. Ben's Senate turned out the lights at its latest meeting for Campus Conservation Nationals.
The Senate met on March 6 to discuss Campus Conservation Nationals, a medical amnesty policy and the allocation of money to the CSB/SJU Speech and Debate team.
Campus Conservation Nationals is a national program that promotes energy conservation over a three week period. The Senate honored this program by turning off the lights and not printing agendas at this week's meeting.
"We want to make (students) conscious of their energy consumption and encourage conservation," Sustainability Representative Stephanie Pinkalla said.
The Senate then turned its attention to a motion to sign the resolution put forward by the Minnesota Student Association to show support for a medical amnesty policy.
"It's a great thing but is not something we should formally approve," Vice President Meghan Simmet said.
The Senate voted one in favor, 14 in opposition and one abstaining. The motion was not passed.
Next, the Senate added a motion to allocate $750 to the speech and debate team.
After much discussion, the Senate voted to amend the amount three times, eventually agreeing to $344.
The Senate uses a "two-thirds" guideline, in which the senate will pay for two-thirds of the total travel amount for a club's trip, according to President Riley Johnson.
The speech and debate team previously requested money from the Co-Funding Board, but due to increased plane ticket prices, needed more money. The $344 added to the previous allocation fulfilled the two-thirds precedent.
"It is worth it to have three Bennies represent us," Club Auditor Kellie Siembieda said.
Other senate members expressed concern over how other clubs who did not receive funding would react to the allocation.
Ultimately, the motion was approved with 11 in favor, four in opposition and one abstaining.
The next St. Ben's Senate meeting will take place at 5 p.m. on March 13 in Gorecki 120.Tags: CSB Senate

Geneva, Day One
,----[ Quote ]
| Yes, we have been told not to broadcast the specifics of the BRM.
| Additionally we will be sued if we take and publish any pictures of certain
| delegates. It seems Switzerland has some super privacy laws. I guess thats
| why Swiss Banks are so popular.
And Microsoft scum is already trying to suppress expression of such utter
Many Eyes on Geneva - Open XML Ballot Resolution Meeting
,----[ Quote ]
| I know that many delegations are under specific guidance to not blog or
| discuss outside of the meetings. The BRM process was designed to promote the
| improvement of specifications, not to tear them down. I think this is a very
| important point to keep in mind throughout the week....
'Open' standards? Or crime better done at nighttime?
Microsoft pal:
The OOXML Ballot Resolution
,----[ Quote ]
| Microsoft is an adjudicated monopoly in the United States. The EU continues
| to investigate possible abuse of their market dominance. (Market leadership
| and innovation are not what's being punished, but rather the abuse of a
| dominant position.) Microsoft can complain all they want, but the practices
| that enabled their success continue to plague them. We cannot collectively
| rewrite history. Microsoft is indeed held to a different measure. They have
| forfeited some of the freedoms that other companies enjoy. In many ways, they
| have lost our trust.
| One can not judge Microsoft's newly declared preference for "openness"
| against the work they've done promoting their own product specification, but
| against their continued refusal to adopt ODF. In the end, OOXML as an ISO
| standard (with its attendant market confusion) will best serve the needs of
| Microsoft over its customers, and that's a shame.
At least there's something open in Geneva (and it ain't 'Open' XML):
My Geneva presentation
,----[ Quote ]
| Iâm speaking in Geneva this morning at the Open Forum Europe
| Conference âStandards and the Future of the Internet.â Here are the slides
| Iâm using: âRaising the Quality Threshold of Standards Developmentâ in PDF
| format.
OOXML Questions Microsoft Cannot Answer in Geneva
,----[ Quote ]
| At Left: Highly respected Martin Bryan. As outgoing Conveyor of ISO/IEC
| JTC1/SC34 WG1 he accused MS of stacking his group and said, âThe days of open
| standards development are fast disappearing. Instead we are
| getting âstandardization by corporation,â something I have been fighting
| against for the 20 years I have served on ISO committees.â Â* Â*
| The trend is that Microsoft is opening up the boring legacy bits of OOXML, in
| stupefying detail, while neglecting to document the pieces actually needed
| for interoperability at a competitive level, like macros, scripting,
| encryption, etc. In essence, Microsoft is opening up and releasing the file
| format information that competitors like OpenOffice.org have already figured
| out on their own, while still at the same time restricting access to the
| information needed to compete. And the more MS realizes it has to open up the
| specification, deprecate and modernize OOXML, what do you get? You get XML.
| XML is XML. Strip out the non-XML garbage from OOXML and you will have the
| OpenDocument Format. Â* Â* Â* Â*
| [...]
| We need for MICROSOFT TO ANSWER THESE QUESTIONS. Rather than hiding all the
| information we need and trying to cloak OOXML as ODF, we ask Microsoft to
| please get off the sinking ship, collaborate with the global community (which
| will welcome Microsoft) and help develop one universal file format for all. Â*
| Long term, Microsoft can only benefit from cooperating with the market!
What Will and Won't Be Discussed at February's BRM on MSOOXML
,----[ Quote ]
| So if you had concerns about Microsoft's patent policy, forgeddaboudit.
| It's been magically erased, and any comments are out of order.
| [...]
| They have chosen a room that can seat only 120 people for reasons unknown, so
| there may not be room for all the delegates. Let me guess. The head of the Â*
| delegation is a Microsoft guy, and the ones who can't fit in the room are the
| ones who have issues with the proposed format? You think? Hey, some of us
| remember the games that were played already over rooms too small for IBM and
| Sun. Â* Â*
| This is starting to look really, really bad. At a minimum, you have to say
| this is the very opposite of an open process. I can't help but notice too
| that Brown lists Rick Jelliffe's as one of the "cool blogs" he recommends on
| Brown's blog. I think that is what novelists would call foreshadowing. Â*
Portugal will send Microsoft to the BRM
,----[ Quote ]
| Microsoft, as president of the Portuguese Technical Committee, is already
| controlling who will be at the BRM for Portugal. The Head of Delegation will
| be... Microsoft! Â*
IBM is still locked out of the Portuguese OOXML meeting
,----[ Quote ]
| In spite of various communications, we [IBM] are still locked out and will
| not be allowed to participate. Microsoft will be there, as well as a special
| Microsoft guest, as will various Microsoft business partners, and others. Â*
Developers warned over OOXML patent risk
,----[ Quote ]
| "Smaller players and non-IT firms--those who are not and perhaps cannot be in
| close business deals with Microsoft--are potentially at a disadvantage in not
| having either a relevant competing patent portfolio to bring to negotiations,
| or the legal resources to assess the level of risk," Vaile said. "This is why
| a truly global open standard ideally needs to be dealt with in a way that
| removes obvious sources of uncertainty for smaller participants as well." Â* Â*
Microsoft patents by Brian Jones
,----[ Quote ]
| For fun we just did a quick search of published US patent applications
| with "Brian Jones" as an author, and "Microsoft" as the assignee.
| [...]
| Some of these, like the packing ones, seem to apply directly to OOXML. What
| isn't clear to us is why Microsoft would pursue patent protection for patents
| rights that their are promising that they won't assert over users of OOXML. Â*
Wishful Spinning
,----[ Quote ]
| OOXML gets adopted. More and more projects are started. Let's see which of
| these would survive without funding. Meanwhile a spin factory sends out
| success stories that most bloggers find worthless to discuss. It is possible
| to get the Krauts on board that are supposed to review OOXML but would OOXML
| survive a review by the crowds? Â* Â*
Digging in the Comments: Patents
,----[ Quote ]
| Patent licensing is probably the most important aspect for all third parties
| that want to implement or use the Open XML specification. Unfortunately the
| Ballot Resolution Meeting cannot discuss these aspects because only technical
| and editorial issues would get resolved. Â*
| [...]
| When you have a patent which covers Open XML and you refuse to license it,
| the standard process gets stalled. Large companies in the standardization
| process are reluctant to use that nuke option. Given the ambush that the
| software patent practice means today it is quite possible that Open XML
| infringes a patent and all parties eventually have an obligation to license
| it. Â* Â*
Patent threat looms large over OOXML
,----[ Quote ]
| "If OOXML goes through as an ISO standard, the IT industry, government and
| business will encumbered with a 6000-page specification peppered with
| potential patent liabilities" said NZOSS President Don Christie. Â*
| "Patent threats have already been used to spread doubt amongst organisations
| keen to take advantage of the benefits of open source. No one knows whether
| such claims have any merit, but it is calculated to deter the development and
| use of open and alternative toolsets." Â*
Cyberlaw OOXML Seminar 14 December
,----[ Quote ]
| However, this raises the issue - what assurance does a developer have that
| such a large specification is not the subject of third party patent claims? Â*
| The pedigree of the specification is certainly no reason for hope, Microsoft
| has been the target of third party patent claims for some time now including
| some high profile losses in patent suits. The fact that the specification has
| been developed behind closed doors and on a fast track means that there has
| been no adequate opportunity to evaluate the likelihood of third party patent
| claims against the specifications. The sheer size of the document suggests
| there will be at least a couple hiding in there somewhere. Â* Â* Â*
ISO warned about possible patent violations of DIS29500 (aka OOXML)
,----[ Quote ]
| I have just send the following email to ISO members (you can find some of
| their email addresses on the INCTIS website) to warn them about the possible Â*
| patent ambush...

The new owner of the vehicle, Bob Gagne of Wailuku, said he had owned the car for a half hour before he was forced to pull off the road because flames were shooting up out of the engine compartment. "I smelled gas and then flames started coming up from underneath," Gagne said.

BMW 220d review
BMW has gone to town on a host of new electric, performance and lifestyle models recently, including the i3, i8, X4, M4, M235i - the list has got so long we're almost struggling to keep up. The idea is that there's now a BMW for everyone. Yet what about... >>
Volkswagen Golf R first drive: The best fast Golf ever
Just how much would you be happy to spend on a Golf? It's an interesting question posed by this, the new hottest (ever) Golf - the R - which starts at a few quid under 30-grand in the UK. It's the latest in a long line of uber-fast Golfs, designed to... >>
Volvo V60 Plug-in Hybrid review
The main issue with buying an electric car - other than the cost of purchase - is range anxiety. The internal combustion age means we don't tend not to plan when it comes to cars. We just jump in and go. Despite the average person only driving 19 miles... >>
McLaren 650S first drive: Brit supercar contrasts comfort with savage performance
McLaren is riding on a wave right now. Hot on the heels of the £1-million P1 comes this, the McLaren 650S. It's a riposte to those who think of McLarens as a little safe, a little boring, a little lacking in drama compared to the obvious alternative... >>
BMW i8: Driving the supercar of the future
Standing in a small car park on the far Western Coast of the Scottish highlands ought to be the last place you'd expect to draw a crowd. But so futuristic is the look of the new BMW i8, especially in Prototonic blue, that right now it's cameraphone central... >>
Want to see Volvo's new performance car? Check out the limited edition Volvo V60 Polestar in our first drive
Set up a few years back, Polestar is a company all about high performance cars. To date it's created a number of one-off, very high-performance Volvos, one of which made a cameo appearance on Top Gear. That was the tipping point: since then there has... >>
BMW 435i M Sport Convertible review
We already know the BMW 435i well, having driven one back from its launch event in Scotland last summer and then having spent a week with it, driving it around the UK. But what happens if you lop the roof off a 4-Series? You get a 4-Series Convertible,... >>
Peugeot 308 review (2014)
Peugeot is on a roll. After a decade or two of largely mediocre cars, the company has now given us the sassy 208, the Audi-TT-baiting RCZ, and the surprisingly practical 2008. Can the new Peugeot 308 continue the rejuvenation of The Lion? It might not... >>
Range Rover Sport review (2014)
It's difficult to get very far into a discussion about the Range Rover Sport without clichés and stereotypes rearing their heads. This is a car that everyone else on the road loves to hate. Yet the people who buy and drive them really, really love them... >>
Volkswagen Golf GTD review
If logic is followed and the status quo is upheld, then the Volkswagen Golf GTD is a shoo-in for a five star review. When we saw the regular Golf Mk7 last year, we called it "all the car you'll ever need - no more and no less". So you'd expect a diesel... >>
Hands-on: Mercedes GLA review
When is off-road not really off-road? When you're 550 feet down a salt mine, that's when. We didn't arrive here by accident, mind, for this is the location of the Mercedes GLA launch. And it's perhaps the most unusual place we've ever been in a car. Mercedes-Benz... >>
Maserati Alfieri Concept pictures and hands-on
Maserati is 100 years old in 2014. So at this year's Geneva Motor Show the company presented itself with a self-proclaimed birthday present, the Alfieri concept car. Named after one of the original Maserati brothers, the 2+2 coupe concept is, so the company... >>
BMW 2-Series Active Tourer pictures and hands-on
Yes, you are looking at a BMW. A front wheel drive people carrier called the 2-Series Active Tourer. We'll just leave that to sink in for a minute. The brand that almost entirely defines itself by its rear-wheel drive cars and has the ability to create... >>
Renault Twingo pictures and hands-on
Renault started the supermini revolution back in the late 70s with the classic Renault 5. It did it again with the first generation Twingo in the early 90s - a car that never came to the UK. So it's perhaps not the greatest shock to see the company reinventing... >>
Dacia Duster review
Money. In 2014, it's still a dirty word to some people. But in the case of the Dacia Duster Ambience dCi 110 4x2 that we're testing here, money isn't something you should be ashamed of talking about. Because when it comes to modern cars, you can... >>
Hands-on: Apple CarPlay review
Apple CarPlay is the tech giant's foray into in-car technology, which has been propelled into the public interest at the Geneva Motor Show 2014. And that's exactly where we've had the chance to take a look at it in action. But not at the Cupertino company's... >>

Lamborghini Huracan pictures and hands-on

Hands-on: BMW M235i review
If, like us, you're struggling to keep up with BMW's numbering system, the skinny on the BMW M235i is that it's the sleeker, less practical coupe sister to the hatchback M135i we tested (and loved) last year. Like the 435i that's gone before it,... >>
Lexus IS 300h F Sport Auto review
Despite the fact that it is tainted for some by a certain comedy character who resides in Norfolk, it's a good thing Lexus exists right now. Because since Alfa, Volvo and Saab all but gave up, the IS 300h is about the only genuine alternative to a German... >>
Vauxhall Mokka SE 1.7 CDTi 4x4 review
SUVs. We all love to hate them. Or do until we grow up, have a couple of kids or move to somewhere slightly suburban where driving up a farm track or dodgy side road isn't the same as in a city car. It's then that cars such as the 4x4 Vauxhall Mokka seem... >>
Kia Pro_Cee'd GT review
In the car world 2013 was very much the year of the hot hatch, or GTi if you're of a particularly VW persuasion. Every manufacturer had a go at turning the regular family shopping car into a fire-breathing road eater last year, the latest example being... >>
Kia GT4 Stinger Concept: Korean manufacturer shows off GT muscle

Toyota FT-1: Gran Turismo 6 concept car makes real-word appearance at Detroit show
