John Uri Lloyd: Northern Kentucky Author
eBook (PDF), 18 Pages
Price: $2.75
John Uri Lloyd, born in 1849, and died in 1936, was the most interesting and significant author who has written about Northern Kentucky. Though he was not an author by profession, he could never understand why others did not write about the area, and though he never neglected his chosen profession of pharmacist and student of botanical drugs, he tried to make up the deficiency he observed regarding fictional works concerning the history and characters in our area. Though he was born in New York, and died while on a visit to California, and spent most of his life as a citizen of Cincinnati, he regarded himself as a life-long Kentuckian, and considered rural Boone County where he grew up as home.

Skyline Products Selling Fuel Pricing Software as Stand-alone Product
Retailers including Royal Farms and Sheetz using PriceAdvantage software.
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. -- Skyline Products Inc., manufacturer of signs and displays for "amber" alerts and traffic information on highways, as well as gasoline prices for retailers, spun off its software operation into a separate division after realizing c-stores wanted to buy it as a stand-alone product, the Colorado Springs Gazette reported.
"When we began developing this software six and a half years ago, most convenience stores didn't have an Internet connection and most of them were still processing credit-card transactions through a dial-up modem," Aaron McHugh, a division manager, said in the newspaper report. "We used to have to tell customers at that time why they should automate, but now we just have to tell them about our product and convince them it is the right answer to solve the problem they are having."
The fuel-price changing software, called PriceAdvantage, takes into account nearby competitor pricing, current fuel costs, individual store sales for each grade of fuel and pricing strategies to determine the most profit for the chain, McHugh told the newspaper. It is also designed to work with most point-of-sale software, pumps and signs to change prices instantly, he said.
The software sells for approximately $2,000 a store and is used by chains such as Royal Farms and Sheetz, the report stated.

Jon Gosselin: Bringing Another Woman To Vegas?
Jon Gosselin swears he won't be partying the night away when he hosts a Las Vegas pool party this weekend.
In fact, the controversial reality dad tells People that he will be bringing his 63-year-old mother, Pamela Gosselin Castello, along for the trip.
"I always promised my mom I'd take her to Vegas to see the shows and that kind of stuff," he says. "We're just going to do our own thing."
Jon's mom allegedly plans to accompany him to the pool party at MGM Grand's Wet Republic. That's just plain weird, but okay.
He also revealed that they plan to head home on Monday or Tuesday, but his schedule's so up in the air that, "I always tell my Mom to pack extra because I have no idea."
Have your say in the comments section: Do you really think Jon's gonna have a low-key weekend in Sin City with his mom, or is he full of crap?

Hello Everyone, CocaColaMan Here and this is my first contribution to the Wiki. Wish Me Luck and i hope i do well. I just wanted to go over what i personally believe about The Ice Witch and personal ideas about how the Champion came to be.
The Champion
Now When I First Saw the Journal of Justice Had Lissandra in it i was happy. "The Ice Dervish" she was called. i Saw Her as an Melee Dps fighter with an oversized Scythe made out of ice, Dervish always makes me think of Guild Wars with a scythe. Now that she has been Transformed into an Ap Caster, im a little disappointed. We havent seen a strong Frejiord fighter since Volibear. (and i know Sejuanni could technically be considered one but i see her more as an AP Melee champion, like Rumble) However, im not complaining about her. I love the way they incorperated the story from the Journal of Justice and made her an evil, power hungry, monster. Making her a AP Caster was ok too, i cant remember when they released a strong Caster.
Even though i said i was disappointed with Lissandra not being an Melee Dps Fighter, i still think she is going to be an amazing champion. Im looking forward to seeing what everyone thinks of this champion. ill try to comment on everyones replies as best as i can. (Sorry for making my first one so short, but ive seen shorter on here :) )

DJ Shadow + Nils Frahm, D∆WN's high-energy pop and some NSFW facesitting this week in music
Blonde Redhead: Dripping
Veteran NYC avant-rock trio Blonde Redhead (made up of Kazu Makino and twin brothers Simon and Amedeo Pace) released their ninth studio album Barragán back in September 2014. From it, the hushed and hazy lead single "Dripping" ("I saw you dripping sunlight / I saw you dripping moonlight") previously had a music video-cum-ad for fashion label AllSaints. Now comedian Eric Wareheim makes his version for his "favorite band of all time." The new and NSFW music video for "Dripping" shows off the seductive art of... face-sitting. It's surprisingly conducive to multi-tasking.
D∆WN: Wake Up
Former Danity Kane member D∆WN has been busy this week, dropping her Adult Swim Single "Serpentine Fire," her collaboration "Lemonade Lakes" with Oshi, and now a music video for her climatic chant "Wake Up." The high energy dance track—featuring Machinedrum's signature rapid-fire beats—breaks the template of the formulaic electro-pop hit, experimenting with how far D∆WN's voice can flit, bend and tauten. Thankfully, the visuals can keep up with the music's intensity, as the seasoned singer and dancer wears gilded wings and gold ram horns like NBD.
Dave Okumu feat. Jamie Woon: Oceans of Purple
Dave Okumu (of acclaimed band The Invisible) just released a lush and fitting Prince tribute song, "Oceans of Purple," that tingles the senses. Featuring British singer/songwriter/producer Jamie Woon on vocals, the sexy, sexy song—with a beautifully drawn out instrumental outro that feels like you're bathing in synths—was written by Okumu in the days after his hero's passing. Officially releasing 25 June on Okumu's Ruby Moon Records, all streaming and sale proceeds will be donated to Nordoff Robins—a UK-based independent music therapy charity.
DJ Shadow feat. Nils Frahm: Bergschrund
DJ Shadow's latest track "Bergschrund," made with Berlin-based pianist and experimental composer Nils Frahm, will have your heart pumping along to the beat. The gated synth line seems simple at first before the instrumental enlarges and blooms and lurches. The title, an obscure German word for a mountain ice crevasse, relates to the title of DJ Shadow's upcoming album—The Mountain Will Fall—which features yet another choice collaboration "Nobody Speak" (with Run the Jewels) which will be released at the end of this month.
MOTHXR: She Can't Tell
Brooklyn-based four piece MOTHXR (not to be confused with Athens, GA-based band Mothers) released their debut album Centerfold this past February. Each of the slow jam pop tracks is getting its own shot-in-one-take video of singer Penn Badgley, filmed during a tour through the EU and directed by bassist/producer Jimmy Giannopoulos (Lolawolf, Reputante). The new video for "She Can't Tell" has surveillance cam vibes as Badgley (looking more like Fabrizio Moretti these days than Dan Humphrey) interpretively shuffles under a yellowing street light.

LG has upgraded the popular Prada mobile phone and added a QWERTY keyboard for those users who enjoy frequent texting or, possibly more applicable, regular emailing and prefer to use the more natural method of utilising a standard keyboard layout than struggling with the sometimes cumbersome numeric layout that most phones provide.
According to the Mobile Whack website, the QWERTY keyboard addition is accessable via a slide out mechanism. The other features of the new phone upgrade include a touch screen phone and, speaking of moving emails an texts, a fast method of shifting data via a 3G HSDPA facility. The new release is also to include video calling and a HTML browser plus WiFi. The handset will also to include a built in camera. Apparently the specification is to be quite high at a full 5MP and will include a quality Schneider Kreuznach certified lens. The Prada II should be out sometime before Christmas.

Rated 4 out of 5 by James3 from Very nice, sturdy pants These are comfortable and attractive. I had to try two different waist line and finally decided upon the straight fit waist. Since I wear it below my pot belly, they are a little longer than usual, but work fine. They could use two more belt loops over the expandable areas. Thank you for the free return shipping~!

Today's quick Thesis Video tutorial will demonstrate how you can easily access Wordpress Custom fields…
Thesis Review: Thesis WordPress Theme Video Review
Art Of Blog » Blog » Uncategorized » Thesis Review: Thesis WordPress Theme Video Review
Still not Using Thesis?
If you aren't using Thesis, chances are it is because you are skeptical about the price and the whole idea of paying for a WordPress theme when there are 1000's of free ones out there.
Now I definitely don't blame you for being a bit leery, but deciding not to use Thesis purely because of its price tag could actually be costing you more in the long run.
What is Your Time Worth?
Let's face it Your Time is Valuable! The second you realize that spending hours tweaking a free theme is actually more expensive than buying Thesis, you should applaud yourself.
Not only will you start to save time with Thesis, but in my experience sites just rank better in search engines. Now when I sat down to record this video review of Thesis, I began to look back at how it changed the way I work. After some inspection it really became apparent how drastic of an impact Thesis had made on the way I built profitable sites.
Here is a quick outline of how I worked "Before Thesis" and "After Thesis." I think this illustration will really help demonstrate the value in using Thesis.
Building Websites Before Thesis
In the past I would have spent at least 2 hours searching for a "Free" theme which looked like it could be "minimally" tweaked to meet my new site's needs. I would then learn how the CSS and XHTML layout worked and then start making changes. This would often entail editing quite a bit of PHP.
The whole process often took ~10 hours and on many occasions several days to end up with a site design/layout that I was satisfied with.
On top of that I would then have to spend even longer making it SEO friendly by replacing various "markup flaws" which is a huge hassle and guessing game in itself!
Building Websites With Thesis
I simply install Thesis through the WordPress theme area. Then I venture over to the Thesis Options/Design Options, (this is the fun/easy part) and tweak the general layout and color scheme to meet my needs. I am confident that Thesis is SEO friendly and is ready for content. This whole process has never taken more than an hour.
Thesis Saves Time
All in all Thesis really does save you time in the long run. If you are still working the way I used to, you can bet that Thesis will change the way you approach building websites and save you more time than you ever thought possible.
Thesis Has Outstanding Support
Now you might be thinking, "What if I want to do something that isn't offered in the options panel?" Well DIYThemes and Thesis have an outstanding support team which have successfully helped tons of people customize Thesis to suit their needs. When this post was written there were 5,626 threads in the "Customization" section and 1,989 threads in the "Support" section of the DIYThemes forum. If this doesn't prove to you that Thesis has above average support then I don't know what does.

Thesis Skin: A Bright Idea »
Ron says:
I want a WordPress theme that is suited for a website with multiple pages. Would Thesis be a good choice. I am also considering Flexibility as a WP theme. Can you address the two points please.
Best Regards
Nick Tzu says:
Ron, after looking at most of the Premium themes on the market, Thesis still stands head and shoulders above other themes with regard to easy of customization. I would need to know the specifics of your needs to better address whether it would suit your needs perfectly.
I personally have not reviewed Flexibility, but if you are doing anything out of the ordinary with your site I would recommend Thesis because of its support.
This is by far the best part about Thesis. It's support community is unrivaled. If you have an issue they are more than happy to help you with it.
If you are looking to do sales pages. I would also suggest thesis because you can easily use a "no sidebar" format to make a clean sales page. Trust me, it converts well. :)
Renee says:
I'm a neophyte to wordpress and websites in general. I had a website built last summer, realized for SEO I need to integrate a blog, and hired someone to do that who transferred my website to a free wordpress blog theme. I'm still working on SEO and marketing, both of which are relatively new to me. I'm wanting to do things like be able to create landing pages, create custom call-to-action buttons to get to those pages, and generally be able to play and experiment with what seems to be working to convert visitors into customers. I want to be able to make changes myself without always having to pay someone and it taking weeks!! Would Thesis be the way to go even though I'm not a web developer?
admin says:
If you are interested in tweaking your website (yourself) and want the best on-page SEO you can get from a theme I would definitely suggest Thesis.
The main factor supporting this recommendation is the fact you will have the Thesis community behind you when you do customizations. If you are already tweaking a "free" wordpress theme then I am sure you will like the idea of Hooks which makes Thesis, incredibly easy to customize.
Also remember that Thesis has a money back guarantee. I would definitely give it a spin.
Renee says:
Thanks for getting back to me so quickly. I don't want to have to have my current website down while I'm creating a new one. How easy would it be to be copying images, CSS, or text from one to the other without being a website developer??
admin says:
Renee, I typically set up a separate testing server to move the content over and get the design right. Moving a site from one theme to another can take time.
This is exact reason is why Thesis's "future proofing" will help a ton. That way when you need to make changes or redesign in the future your underlying source code will change very little.
Allan says:
Hello Nick. I am interested in starting an investing website or blog – not sure which one at this point, as I am still researching the pros and cons. If you have an opinion please share. It sounds like I must first create a WP account in order to use Thesis for a blog. Is this correct? Or, can Thesis be used as a stand alone application? Must I obtain a domain name first? Secondly, and most importantly to me, can Thesis support advertising in addition to Google Ads? Thanks.
It sounds like you could use a few pointers. :) After reading this comment definitely check out our One Week Blog Series. I think if you follow it you'll learn a ton and be better suited to get started in making a successful Finance blog. Markus talks about Domains, Themes, and a ton more!
As far as Thesis is concerned. You'll want a self hosted wordpress account (covered in the series). Thesis is a "Theme" for WordPress which basically adds a ton of features to the core of what WordPress offers.
With Thesis, you will have access to a "multimedia box" which can work great for serving advertisements, but a real Thesis ninja can do some pretty slick things around the whole site as Thesis is incredibly flexible if you have some basic CSS/PHP knowledge.
Best of luck to you! Feel free to comment on the series if you have more specific questions.
Eric says:
I know what it's like to spend hours looking for a theme you like but want to tweak and spending more hours tweaking it.
Then spending even more hours out there trying to get your stuff noticed by people who hopefully appreciate what you have to offer. I haven't tried Thesis yet however, when I do have the money I think I will definitely give it a shot for it's money.
I know HTML and CSS to a point and I know it can be a long time to get anything up and going that is even on the line of what could be called "ok".
Adrian says:
I'm a business planner, not a webmaster and I don't want to spend months learning code. I installed WordPress and built two sites using free themes, but both have serious flaws. For instance, using DarkBlue 1.3 by William Sutanto I built my branded site adrianbray.com. The landing page is a static page, with the blog on a subsidiary page, but I can't get "comments" to appear on the blog page. Some minor code fix is no doubt needed but it shouldn't be that hard to get basic functionality going. There are many other similar problems like a date appearing at the top of my static page (in Mozilla) as if it were a blog entry. Turning to Thesis, the demonstration videos show a lot of cool formatting tools (tweaking colors etc.) but is the basic functionality intuitive? One recurring theme I see with WordPress is that because it started as a blogging platform, all the forum comments seem to refer to how someone has built a great blog using it. But does Thesis make WordPress work as well for basically static sites?
admin says:
To date, I feel Thesis is the easiest to learn blogging platform. I will admit that it does have a large amount of features which can take some adjusting to. Out of the box Thesis has many powerful options but you will have to tweak them yourself. I would say "take the plunge" and give Thesis a try and if it doesn't suit your needs they do have a Money back Guarantee.
Norm says:
Hi Nick, Thanks for the overview of Thesis.
We are adding blogging / article contribution to an existing B2B directory site. We want to share adsense revenue with contributing authors. To do this we want to insert a piece of code from Google Ad Manager (which will rotate our adsense code with our contributing author's adsense code ) either on the page sidebar or in the post itself (probably on the full post page, not on the excerpt) I assume we could insert this in the multimedia box. However I need to match the GAM code to the specific author. Each other has a different piece of GAM code. So I guess I'm asking can we manage information presentation in the posts and sidebars by author?
Also I don't see much about plug-in integration. Does Thesis work with the more popular plugins?
Thank you , Norm
Nick Reese says:
You can definitely do what you are trying to do with some custom PHP. Sounds pretty straight forward.
As far as plugin integration, Thesis has support for widgets and several other popular plugins. If not I am sure there are work-arounds in the forums.
Uster says:
I must say this is a great article i enjoyed reading it keep the good work
Farnoosh says:
Super super! I totally agree that Thesis pays for itself in no time! While all of us could figure out PHP and HTML and the coding, it is indeed the *time* we spend that we need to really be cognizant of. I am so happy I got Thesis. Great video and instructions. Thanks!
Marc Vanderstraeten says:
Is Thesis similar to Thematic?
Can you compare these?
Nick Reese says:
We checked out Thematic before deciding on Thesis. We decided to go with Thesis because overall it looked like a better solution and it was developed by Chris Pearson and endorsed by more SEO's than you can shake a stick at like Sugarrae, Michael Gray, and even Matt Cutts uses it. (If that isn't an endorsement I don't know what is)
We personally have had great success with Thesis and I won't be launching a site on a different theme for the foreseeable future.
It looks like Thematic has similar features without a pricetag, but as I mentioned in the video. Free themes always have a pricetag, so if that is your deciding factor I would give Thesis a long hard look.
I'd recommend getting the personal version of Thesis and giving it a spin. If you don't like it take them up on the guarantee. I highly doubt you will be disappointed.
Anton Uhl says:
Everything about Thesis is very exciting. What I don't understand is why NO ONE mentions that the theme is only useful if you use wordpress.org and not wordpress.com. It is a simple but significant distinction. How many times must DIY deal with disgruntled customers requesting a refund because this wasn't made crystal clear to them? Maybe a simple REQUIREMENTS paragraph would suffice?
Bob says:
I don't quite understand why you would even want to put this theme on a wordpress.com blog, from what I understand about that blogging venue is that you do not have as much control over your site as a self hosted blog and is they if they feel that your linking or is inappropriate, they can shut you down without notice and all your content is gone forever.
I think they do not like internet marketers that link out using their affiliate links.
Not a place where I would want to set up business.
Sorry, but I will stay with my self hosted site that I have full control over.
Anton Uhl says:
Thank you for that added insight. For casual or novice bloggers, the difference between the two options is not made obvious.
Kathy says:
Great review! I'm sold!
[…] Obviously, Thesis ships with some pretty amazing customization tools. You can change colors, add and remove borders, change sidebar layouts, and more. Before you ever get your hands dirty with any CSS/HTML/PHP code, check this video for help with basic customizations using Thesis options. […]
RoX says:
Do I need to pay something extra directly at WordPress or I get to upload Thesis on my "free hosted blog"??
Thanks! :)
Thesis can only be used on WordPress.org sites. In other words you must have a self-hosted blog.
RoX says:
Thanks Nick! Nobody told me before…
Paul Stephenson says:
Hi Nick
We want to be able to offer our clients a wordpress blog of their own, using the Thesis theme. It sounds like we can do this, but what are the rules concerning use of developer edition Thesis?
The Thesis reg page says "A single Client Site Option is $40, but you can also purchase 5 and 10-site Client Options for $36/site and $32/site, respectively"
But I've also seen mention that there is no re-seeling 'allowed – what do you mean by re-selling exactly – I presume you mean that you can't just download a copy and then flog it to someone else.
Your clarification appreciated.
Paul Stephenson
Paul, you would need an exact response from someone at DIYThemes, but from my conversations with Chris, I understand it that every site you don't personally own or have a business/client relationship you will need a developers license. So if you wanted to work with clients to set up a WordPress blog using Thesis you would need a client site license for each one. As far as if you charge your client's more than the $40 that is up to you. Hopefully this makes it clearer.
Jorge Ferrin says:
Very nice program, I like better than SEO.
Simeon says:
Thanks for the info. I've been sitting on the fence for awhile now regarding investing in Thesis, but I think you've now made up my mind for me. With the money back guarantee, it seems I have nothing to lose and everything to gain :-)
Ensar says:
For seo purposes, can you recommend a theme?
I heard Thesis is so powerful in seo way. but any other suggests?
Syafrizal says:
Hi Nick. Nice review and I'm really interested on using Thesis as my main tools for creating blogs. But can Thesis help me on creating minisite? Or something like that.
Nick Reese says:
This really depends on what you mean by mini site.
Syafrizal says:
What I mean by mini site is creating long single page contains long sales letter as what normal mini site would normally do and with no columns, no sidebars, and no widgets. Can Thesis help me to do that?
Nick Reese says:
Thesis can accomplish what you want to by selecting the "no sidebars" layout on a page and making that page your home page.
You could probably set it up in under 5 minutes.
Syafrizal says:
Wow that is cool. Can't wait to get Thesis.
cheri says:
Just got Thesis and am excited to get started. I want to build a landing page with a video that goes to an opt in once the video plays. Most examples I see of Thesis are for blogging. Do you have any advice on how to get started? Thanks!
Nick Reese says:
It looks like you are trying to create a Squeeze page.
Here are 2 tutorials we did to get you started :)
cheri says:
Thanks SO much! I'm off to watch them right now!
Seth M. Baker says:
This is a great review and maybe the best reason to purchase thesis: the time=money argument. I've spent at least 100 hours customizing my non-thesis theme and it's still quite so so.
I'm on the fence, but I'm about to jump off. Thanks.
Sal says:
I'm looking to redesign several sites and create about a dozen new sites. Can one install of WordPress and Thesis do this? I have access to a web host with sufficient rights/space. I don't want to have to handle individual installs of both for multiple domains.
You could use WPMU but you would be dealing with a much larger headache than multiple installs of Thesis.
George Miller says:
I've been running my site using Cutline for nearly three years now and am thinking about moving over to Thesis (your review was very helpful in this respect). Where's the best place to look for advice on the best way to manage the transition (which will also involve updating the version of WordPress I'm using) to minimize disruption to my site and ensure I don't lose content? Also, where can I find out how to handle podcasts using Thesis so that all the meta-data is shipshape? Thanks

I love Thesis for it's simple use!
Shelly says:
We currently have a blogger site, but want to change over to WordPress with Thesis. We bought and downloaded Thesis today but can't figure out how to upload it to our WordPress account. Is it necessary to have a 3rd party ftp server for this? (blogger doesn't require this, so it's all new to us).
Shelly, you have to be on a WordPress.org account.
Steve says:
Your SEO-fu is strong, stumbled onto your site again.
Working on some cool stuff, skype me when you're in town
Robert Walsh says:
Is it me or is there a lack of documentation for Thesis?
I am currently working on a site with the Thesis theme and for the life of me, cannot figure out how to:
• Put new images in the (I think it is called) Multimedia boxes. You know the balloons, and pie picture that come with the theme? I know how to upload new media to the library, just can't figure how to put my own photos in that box on the sidebar. Or what size to make my jpg's to fit that box. Or how to get them to stop rotating.
Very frustrating, spent much time trying to figure it out.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
sharyn says:
Great information here, I am so grateful, and will look forward to an answer on the multimedia question above.
On another point I have watched squeeze page videos 1 and 2 and am frightened off by the need for all the coding. I have seen a clickbank product wpsqueezepage.com – would this work with Thesis – cost is $47 which I would be happy to pay to avoid the coding.
Again thanks for your amazing help with thesis
Sharyn, this will not work with thesis however you can probably find someone who would put together a squeeze page for you at that price.
rajesh singh says:
i want thesis on developing of dynamic college website. please hurry.
Thank You!!
Nick Robinson says:
I'm thinking of using Thesis to put together a site for my wife and to update my own site.
This is probably a dumb question, but will I be able to create several different page templates with it?
I know I'm going to want:
– a landing/sqeeze page probably with some featured images
– a blog section
– a gallery page(s) for my wife's artwork
– some static pages,
each of which would need a different layout but a cohesive design.
Is that possible with Thesis?
Options Trading Josh says:
Came across the page looking for custom template.
This looks pretty cool and can't wait to start playing with it.
I like the idea of being able to change the the layout to have one post for my sales page on WP to be able to get the added seo affect on all the plugins I use.

Jason Ellis says:
In terms of systematizing my niche sites, Thesis has been hands down the simplest way to publish my content and drive conversions. The way it modularizes all of your site components in a clickable customized interface takes all the techie out of being a site owner.
What's more is, if you do want to customize, their support has a bazillion css and php snippets to copy and paste from.
Although I don't think thesis is as beautiful a theme as many others out there, in terms of cranking out niche sites and intellectual property, there's nothing more efficient that I've found.
Thanks Nick!

Nice people and very helpfull That we could not get a warm drink in the evenings nor a mill when it was snowung outside
Hotel was at a quiet location;one could sleep with the windows open. Buffet Breakfast was very good.
The staff were very helpful. I did not notice on my reservation that I needed to call to check in after 10:00 PM, but the hotel called me to give me the details on how to access the hotel/my room after hours. The quiet location, balcony, and convenient bus service was great. I prefer a thicker mattress, although the bed was quite comfortable - I slept very well both nights and woke up refreshed.
Plenty of towels and large bed. absence of elevator (3 floor hotel).
I liked the layout of the rooms, my little balcony attached to the room.
Excellent position, quiet, easy access to Lake and public transport. A litle gem! Very helpful and friendly staff. This was our second stay and we would be very happy to return.
Good sound insulation of the room, keeping the traffic noise outside.
Location and clean spacious room Nothing in particular
Rooms are very comfortable, silent and well refurbished
The lady at Reception was extremely helpful in directing my husband to the hotel, driving through an unfamiliar town. As a family of two adults and two children under twelve we thought the family room represented good value for money, and the breakfast had a good variety and was well presented by another friendly member of staff. The Airconditioning unit in the room was a little bit noisy.
It was close from the lake. Quite easy to find, and there was a spacious parking place. There was no air conditioner in the room. But since it was rainy and windy during my stay, it was not a big problem.
Central location , easy to find and restaurant next door Unfortunately it was too hot and the room was stuffy and uncomfortable. Also as it was the workd cup final the streets were very noisy with cars beeping all night. The blinds on the window did not work and there were hairs and what looked like fleas (jumping insects) in the bed.
Very nice staff and good location
it was well placed
The staff were absolutely fantastic, I had a big problem with my motorcycle breaking down on Bastille day, and they did everything they possibly could to help us, despite having already checked out.
close to the station. easy to find. terrible access to the Internet even in the robby.
very good service for the money requested. Clen room with good equippement. 5 minutes from realway and bus station and 8 minutes from city center
Room and breakfast was as expected. Overall it was clean and comfortable. Amenities in room were lacking but expected. A lady working at the breakfast hall from Cambodia was so nice and helpful with suggesting activities to do in the area. Overall experience was good. At checkout though something odd did occur. The gentlemen attending me said to have given me the correct change, 42 eur. He showed me a 20 eur and 2 10 eur and 2 eur. All was rushed and he only gave me 22 back instead of 42 eur. It took me a few minutes while I was still in the lobby to figure it out. Then I approached and said I think he didn't give me correct change. At first he brushed it off since there were more clients. I waited for them to finish to not be a pest. Then I asked again and asked to check paperwork in case it fell. No luck. Then I asked to check cameras and that I was willing to wait for security. He quickly agreed to give me the 20 eur. Not sure if he was just nice or realized he didn't give it to me. But I felt like I was scammed but all ended well. I don't want to judge his character without proof but all was odd. i wouldn't let this stop anyone from booking. The experience overall was good. Just a precaution.
a good bed and a good breakfast service of the bar
Clean and not so expensive, perfect for a weekend Is not in the best area of the city.
Helpfulness of the staff particularly Victor who went out of his way to help us. The facilities are looking a bit tired.
Location in Annecy based on the rate Room quite small
Clean and comfortable. Air conditioning is too strong, even when it is off cold air keeps coming. Why while booking price was 79 euros and after checkout it was 81, though I didn't use any additional services? It's not much, but stil...
Excellent setting, very comfortable and staff very friendly Restaurants / bar very expensive. €25 pp for breakfast is expensive in anybody's book, especially if you stay more than one night. The spa is not as advertised-by appointment only rather than as the moment takes you.
The hotel restaurant is very poor value for money both for breakfast and evening meals
excellent hotel, high quality 4 star 20 minute walk from Annecy Town
excellent view
Quality location, excellent service, beuatiful building. A long established hotel with a well-deserved reputation.
fantastic location
Great location, clean, nice hotel. The bar closed too early. Very expensive breakfast.
I did like seeing the Annecy lake in the morning from my bedroom. Amazing view ! I think the hotel does not deserve its 4-star ranking. Based on my own experience, the room design does not correspond to this hotel category. The bathroom was very basic, with a poor color, the toilet looked like toilets you can find in airports ... the design of the room was not convincing (no hotel spirit)
The location right at the lake embedded in a lovely park-like garden matches perfectly with the grand style of the building that had been inaugurated in 1913 and was renovated and reopened in 1990. A room with a lake view will allow to enjoy the natural beauty of the place to its fullest. Rooms that are facing to the park still offer the view on mature trees. A 20 minutes walk leads you to the old part of Annecy along the lake´s shore. The interior is stylish with references to the Art Deco phase, displaying 3 meter high ceilings. Facilities are impeccable and clean.
Friendliness of staff and cleanliness of hotel Room rather small
my wife and i have stayed at this hotel at least 4 times in the last 5 years.it is excellent for travelers of modest needs. it is particularly well maintained and clean.the breakfast in among the best we have found in europe.and the wi-fi internet is reliable and free.
Close to Gare but not affected by noise, Friendly, efficient staff, close to shops and restaraunts and close to old town. 10 minute walk to lake. When the strikes started and we were wondering if our trains would run and needed to find out new timetables, the staff were not interested in helping us with this problem. I thought they could also have allerted us to the fact that there was a problem, because not speaking french, we could easily have not known that there were problems.
Convenient location within easy walking distance of station. Helpful people both at hotel and in Annecy. The town provides a scenic setting, ideal for a relaxing holiday.
Convenience to the town centre lack of parking guaranteed
Proximity to the lake and the old village - free car parking - free internet- shower room first class. Helpful at reception - good rate A bit difficult to find - lift was vey small
Comfort, location -
Hospitality of the staff Hotel room, which was small, not comfortable and was poor value for money.
Clean and nice with friendly staff. The parking lot saved is a lot of hazzle. Our particular room was very nice and well kept - but unfortunately ground level and no window with a view.
V. Friendly and excellent breakfast
friendly helpful staff
Beautiful view Spacious rooms Close to train station Easy walk to old Annecy
Excellent location to explore Annecy, just a few minutes walk from the Old Town and the lakeside. Comfortable room, friendly and helpful staff and secure parking.
central situation near old city is beautifull oh yes the electricity went out in Annecy for 1 hour during 23:00-00:00 (laugh)
the localizarion of the hotel is perfect for someone visitimg or working in Annecy my room (500) is nice but small. The shower is also small; the only problem is the shower curtain that is perturbating you during your washing, a cabin or a rigid wall would be welcome
The location was superb. Since annecy is such a small place you can be within the heart of the town within minutes to enjoy the sights or to enjoy a meal out in one of the many excellent restaurants.
Pleasant hotel. Great pillows. Close to rail station and restaurants.
Very close to train station and nicely located for going to the city center. The room was small (but bathroom was nice). Breakfast was an additional 13 Euro per person per day.
Very accomodating staff, excellent breakfasts, on-site parking, tea/coffee making facilities in room, excellent free Wi-Fi reception. Limited baggage drop off facilty, small lift without floor indicators, unavailability of airconditioning (turned off for the "winter"!)
Close to the Old Town for a good choice of Restuarants Our Double room was very small. The adjascent Twin room for my children was a better size.
Very nice hotel, room and bed were comfortable and spacious. Reception staff very friendly and helpful. Great location and good parking right outside hotel. Would go out of my way to stay there again. No complaints at all.
Central location was good. 5 minutes from train station and 5minutes to lake. In the heart of the old town-so easy to get around.
The new rooms are nice. The destination near to the old town ist brilliant.
Location, modern, design, clean, comfort, price, staff. Everything was very good. I have no negative remarks to do. Strongly recommended.
Liked having cooking and refrigeration facilities in own room. Also access to laundry facilities and free internet access
Privilodges Le Royal - Apparthotel in Annecy is the perfect place to stay. It is very affordable and has neat clean apartments. The staff is most helpful and efficient, there is a nice fitness room, and the location in the old town is ideal. no
The quality of the service
This is a great hotel if travelling with children - the apartement style with 2nd bedroom and kitchen facilities are fab. The photos/description don't do it justice as the room are a lot more comfortable and cosy and the bathrooms more modern than they look. We didn't have breakfast at the hotel as there were lots of lovely pattisseries close by. The location is great, overlooking a small square/playpark, within easy reach of the old town and lake.
The location and the parking. Our room was not very comfortable. We were in a studio on the basment floor (room 6 I think). We were two adults and a baby and the room was quite claustrophobic as the window couldnt be opened and it didn't provide any view. Furnishings were cheap and stark in appearance and the sofa was very uncomfortable. We ended up just leaving the bed pulled down as it was more comfortable than the sofa. Room could have been cleaner. There were dirty tissues behind the bed and the mirror was marked with what looked like paw prints. I would stay here again but not on the ground floor. I'd book a more expensive apartment if staying here again.
good location with parking lots and convenient studio with kitchen facilities.
The proximity to the old town area The suite we booked had self catering facilities but did not include a basic welcome pack which ment that we did not use them
it is a very practical design of the 3 pax bedroom. Comfortable and modern and well equipped of everything. it will be good to have a signage on the main road to guide to the entrance of the hotel.
location, comfort
Thé location in thé center of thé vit, its parking, the nice appartment Nothing
Definite advantage having the option of self-catering - very well equipped kitchenette. Hotel room was of a good size with comfy bed and beautiful en suite. The front of hotel is in a predestrianised zone, so when arriving by car the hotel was difficult to locate. Also their carpark is not immediately obvious, but this could be due to building work.
Quality of room. Cost effectiveness and the fact that pets are allowed there.
Our room for 4 people was clean, modern, and spacious.
it is situated nearby all main places of interest to diminish very specific smell in the hotel
Central location, easy to reach, quiet, clean, friendly staff, garage available Still constructions around/in front of the hotel. Not clearly labeled, rather a small label above the parking entrance. I presume, these items will be fixed soon.
Location of the hotel is excellent, few minutes walk from the city centre. Staff was very friendly and welcoming - no issues with them whatsoever. I would totally recommend this hotel and I will try to book Adagio from now on, whenever possible. Our room was leaking heat like crazy - not sure if this was specific to our room (top-most floor), the top-most floor as such or all the rooms. There was also a dust cover on the floor around the bed, which should not be there.
Our room wasn't ready, so we were given a free upgrade... Very accomadating! The staff was VERY friendly and helpful, which was not the feedback I saw on most existing reviews.
The hotel is lovely - quite a business hotel though and the breakfast and food quite pricey when paying your own way. Not ideal for families because of this. Location good - you can walk down to the lake and town in about 15 minutes and the view is fab.
Proximity of the hotel to the old town. Hotel was expensive. Room was very small. Shower not up to date and bathroom could do with an update. Spa was not as good as the photos made out
The lake/mountains view and the swimming pool. Oh, yes, aplenty: lack of comfort - small room/bathroom, no aircon (worse if room under the roof); unprofessional, immature staff, unable to answer simple questions about the place but suggesting we should go to the tourist information office downtown instead! One morning breakfast service was appalling, but the hotel manager was 'unavailable' (en rendez-vous) to take comments directly and never replied to our complaints. Hotel restaurant was rather pricey for a family with children, hence the need to sample the restaurants downtown; plenty of choices there but the return to the hotel problematic in the dark. Romantically involved couples of all ages may find this place attractive for a night or two but a longer stay is not justified.
geen airconditioning
fabulous views from the pool noise from the staff quarters in the early hours. difficult to to get into town due to lack of taxis. Expensive food
A lovely hotel in a supurb setting. The restaurant was too expensive and closed on Sunday! The brasserie was not open at all!! No English channels on T.V.
Its location The service and the food in the main restaurant was very poor and the head waiter ignored our complaints
The setting was fantastic and the facilities were very good. Staff were both friendly and helpful. Rooms were a little small for the price and the hotel bar prices were prohibitive and double the cost of lakeside cafes/resturants in Annecy which is only a short walk away. (9 euros for an orange juice !)
pillows, bathroom, robes, view, inside space itself (i.e. dining and sitting areas - I could imagine having a wedding there), staff (friendly, helpful, and excellent English), dvd player room smelled bad, farther away than indicated on map - quite a hike
Good access, free parking, wi-fi, good but very expensive breakfast. Rooms were small for the price and our room was under very noisy stairway. When I complained next morning I was changed to another somewhat less noisy under another stairway. Staff did their best but basically they are stuck with the small, noisy (but well equiped) rooms. No English language TV was available in the room yet CNN was available in breakfast room- I was told they were in middle of changing to a new service and nothing could be done and no credit was offered.
Good breakfast. Clean. Helpful staff. 3 people in room but faclities only for 2. Poor direction to find hotel.
Convenient location, nice room
The position was very good, only a short walk to the lake and canals. The position of the hotel was directly above the railway, and although on the fourth floor you could hear the railway, but not enough to complain about, the fact that you could only get to the hotel from one direction was also a little annoying.
It is close to the train station. The security is fine. The pillows are not clean enough.
The hotel is close to the old city center (walk distance), great breakfast, bedroom spacious and comfortable.
Very friendly staff, overall good hotel
I have a very unpleasant surprise when I came back at home :they deducted from my credit card a surcharge amount of 50 Euro without any explanation.When I asked them by mail I recevied a very cold explanation that is a guarantee and they make up a copy of my card.I am sure that it was normal to explain me at check-in if is necessary a guarantee
Clean and comfortable hotel, at convenient distance from train station and Annecy's commercial area.
near by the train station,only need to walk for 5 mins from the station.And basically comfortable. meet an unfriendly ,bad English staff at 23 o'clock the day I arrived.
proximity to centre of town. Also, restaurant facilities were very useful as it was pouring with rain in the evening when we were to go out for dinner, so we just stayed and dined in the hotel Only slight problem was all the works going on around the hotel. Access was difficult. I know this is only a temporary problem but perhaps a space to offload cases and children whilst going to search for a car park space would be good.
Nespresso machine at breakfast. Air-con worked well and was nice & quiet.
Excellent little spot for a city break. the breakfast is truly excellent, the staff are really helpful, whole place very chic and stylish. Very good value for money and perfectly positioned for all the major sights.
Reception people are excellent. And Spa is clean and clean.
friendy staff entrance to garage
Very good, comfortable hotel located very conveniently for centre of Annecy
The kind service, the jacuzzi and Sauna. Also the pleasant decoration Only that they do not have restaurant and the bar service closes early on the night
We really enjoyed the hotel - the decor was perfect, the room was comfortable and nicely organized. The added benefit of free Wifi was nice. The staff are very friendly and helpful and the location was absolutely perfect for access to the bus, old city, park, lake. perfect. We found the daily cleaning service to be a little lacking. Dirty towels that we left on the floor as instructed were not completely replaced, nor were sundries on a daily basis. The room was not vaccumed during our four day stay and got a bit worn and cluttered looking. The tub wouldn't hold water (slow leak). Everything else was perfect however.
Good location, friendly staff, nice spa and room. Street noise was a bit loud, although got used to it after a couple of days.
friendly staff Efficient room; not very cosy.
The hotel it self. No, at all.
Everything is nice except that you can really hear everything going on in the next room / toilet / etc. Other than that the hotel is very nice.
Peace and quiet Friendly and helpful staff No
The location - beautiful views of the mountains and lake, only a short walk from the old town with its shops and restaurants, but on a quiet road. It would have been good to have tea/coffee making facilities in the room. I know that hot and cold drinks were available in the lounge, but it isn't quite the same. I don't know if it is particular to English hotels, but I've never been to one that doesn't have a kettle and sachets of tea/coffee in each room.
quality of hotel although the hotel is about 15min level walk to the town the last 50 meters up to the hotel are very steep
the balcony room was nice and the room had a fridge
The location was good and the setting was fantastic. The building had a lot of character and the rooms were very comfortable. The breakfast was very good for such a small little hotel.
Nice decoration, friendly staff.I would visit it again!
Nice sitting room!
Quiet out of town position with a good view of the lake. The bath was only suitable for a baby, the balcony was very small and there was no air conditioning. The result was that for the extra 50 Euros the room was poor value for money.
This a very reasonably priced hotel for the area and the room is fine. The views are stunning
Our room was very comfortable, decor was lovely. Everything was excellent. No problems or complaints
Excellent location, the renovated rooms are fine. Good breakfast. Same price for rooms that were not renovated than for renovated ones. Bathroom in the non-renovated rooms not ok for a hotel of this category/price.
Friendly staff and location No
very helpful staff Braekfast had a good choice. Very well situated
Location was very good and while room was somewhat small it was comfortable and very clean. Our view was of the "courtyard" but actually the room looked out on a window box that sat on a small ledge...no view at all
It´s a good option in Annecy, especially when you consider value for money.It´s enough.
the room was confortable e clean, the staff was very gentle, the localization is excellent, very central.
Our desk clerk, Thierry, was extraordinarily helpful. His English was impeccable....and he always had a smile on his face. We thought this hotel, in it's perfect location, was unbeatable. Contemporary bathroom, perfect lounge area, gracious staff. Perhaps the beds could use a soft latex or memory pad as they were very firm. Also beware that if you get a whirlpool room, the people next to you might have one too. We were awake until 2Am while our neighbors enjoyed theirs. The next night we chose a top floor, non-whirlpool room and were much happier with the quiet and the views (403 is a perfect room for 2-5 people)
Location providing outstanding lake views combined with helpful staff and superior breakfasts. N/A
The hotel has a nice ambiance, a convenient location, spacious rooms and is good value for money
good breakfast misleading info both on the website and in your booklet re distance from lake Annecy.It is not 5mins on foot more like 45mins-same applies to distance on foot to train station-at least 20 mins.
the equipments like microwave. It's very convenient.And the Beds are also very comfortable no
extra excellent bed realy a wonderfull nights sleep posistion
Excellent new hotel, conventient quiet location, very courteous and helpful staff, nice room design, good breakfast.
The hotel is clean and functional. About a 15 minute walk into the centre of Annesy with kinds. Good value for money Late check in 16h00
Reception is open 24h a day. Very small room even for France. Pretty expensive for such room and parking is not free too.
Large room No Restaurant, despite sign outside saying there was! No parking (except for small cars and a €7 per night fee). All the water was hot, even in the toilet cistern!
Convenience of being within walking distance of town centre No evening meal available on Sunday night
Polite staff
it was relatively quiet for a downtown location and the convenience of breakfast being offered on site was good for our type of trip. Gave us a good start to the day. Nothing really. For the price, it is what was expected.
good clean accomodation, not far from centre of Annecy

Two communities of Jews living in Israel were selected for study. They consisted of Jews from Kurdistan and from the Yemen. They lived in five villages in the Negev area of Israel where the climate is hot in the summer months and cool to warm in the winter months. Studies were carried out in the summer (June, July) and in the winter (January, February). The studies were confined to the age group 20 to 30, and 75% of the population in this age group were examined. The investigations comprised: (a) clinical examination, (b) anthropometric measurements, (c) genetic study of blood markers, (d) habitual activity, (e) energy expenditure, (f) food intake, (g) climatic exposure, (h) measurement of physical work capacity, and (i) reaction to a standardized heat test. The environmental conditions of the subjects were similar for the two groups and the majority were engaged in farming.

1990 Porsche 911 C2This is something special. This beauty started life in 2001 as a ground up restoration of a stolen car. All work was done by renowned Porsche specialists Rennsport in Houston Texas. My father worked directly with the owner of Rennsport, Mike Callas, to insure this car was perfect. The engine was rebuilt to factory specifications using updated Porsche parts available at the time. The only non original parts are the tires and rims, the JVC stereo system with GPS as well as the fiberglass front fenders which were ordered to accommodate the HID headlights which were a 5000.00 upgrade alone. I have all records of the rebuild as well as the maintenance since then. This is a well loved car that has been garaged and driven casually since the time of the rebuild. It has 45,000 total miles with 37,000 being since the rebuild. I bought this car from my dad in 2010 and have found I just don't drive it enough to justify keeping it.
Because this car was stolen it is a salvage title which is free and clear. The mechanic who did the rebuild as well as maintenance while my dad owned the car sadly passed away inOctober 2015. His assistant at Rennsport (Warren) may beable to answer any questions about the rebuild. I am asking 34,990.00 for the car which is in line with what similar models with a lot more mileage and fewer upgrades are selling for. The car will be sold As Is.

COPENHAGEN – At its heart, much of the debate over climate change deals with just one divisive and vexing question: How big should cuts in carbon emissions be?
This narrow focus makes the debate unconstructive. Everybody wants to prevent global warming, and the real question is: How can we do that best? We should be open to other ways to stop warming – such as cutting carbon emissions in the future instead of now, or focusing on reducing emissions of other greenhouse gases. Global warming will create significant problems, so carbon reductions offer significant benefits. Cutting carbon emissions, however, requires a reduction in the basic energy use that underpins modern society, so it will also mean significant costs.
The prominent climate economist Professor Richard Tol of Hamburg University has analyzed the benefits and costs of cutting carbon now versus cutting it in the future. Cutting early will cost $17.8 trillion, whereas cutting later will cost just $2 trillion. Nonetheless, the reduction in CO2 concentration – and hence temperature – in 2100 will be greater from the future reductions. Cutting emissions now is much more expensive, because there are few, expensive alternatives to fossil fuels. Our money simply doesn't buy as much as it will when green energy sources are more cost-efficient.
Tol strikingly shows that grand promises of drastic, immediate carbon cuts – reminiscent of the call for 80% reductions by mid-century that some politicians and lobbyists make – are an incredibly expensive way of doing very little good. All the academic models show that, even if possible, limiting the increase in global temperature to 2oC, as promised by the European Union and the G-8, would cost a phenomenal 12.9% of GDP by the end of the century. This would be the equivalent of imposing a cost of more than $4,000 on each inhabitant every year, by the end of the century. Yet, the damage avoided would likely amount to only $700 per inhabitant.

How to Do the wrapping shoulder elbow lock
In this video, we learn how to do the wrapping shoulder elbow lock. First, you will be mounting on top of the opponent and place your arm behind his arm. It should be wrapping behind you while you are still maintaining your base. Next, sit back on his belly, then place your other hand on his shoulder down to the mat. As you push down, throttle on your forearm to get a straight arm lock. You will be extending the opponent's arm in this move. This will prevent the other person from moving their arm and cause you to have more control!

By Fredreka Schouten, USA TODAY
WASHINGTON Long before Republican Olympia Snowe bucked her party Tuesday to support the Senate Finance Committee's sweeping health care bill, she spent months helping to shape it.
The Maine senator refused to support a government-run insurance option to compete with private insurers — and the bill didn't have one. She wanted insurance policies to be more affordable for lower-income workers — and the bill was changed to provide bigger government subsidies.
"Is this bill all that I want?" she asked Tuesday. "Far from it."
POLITICS BLOG: Maine's other senator weighs health care
Snowe praised the bill's "bipartisan landmark reforms" and became the sole Republican on the panel to back President Obama's top domestic priority, acting once again as a moderating force who breaks from her party to support a Democratic initiative.
Obama praised Snowe's "political courage."
She warned, however, that she might not vote for the measure on the Senate floor.
"My vote today is my vote today," she said. "It in no way forecasts my vote in the future."
Snowe, 62, has a history of going her own way. In 2009, she has voted with her party 44% of the time through August, the lowest of any Republican, according to Congressional Quarterly. In February, she was one of only three Republicans in Congress to vote for Obama's stimulus package.
Her independent streak has not hurt her in Maine, where more than a third of voters have no party affiliation. Snowe won re-election in 2006 with 74% of the vote.
"I don't believe there's a person in the state of Maine who could beat her politically," said L. Sandy Maisel, director of the Goldfarb Center for Public Affairs and Civic Engagement at Colby College in Waterville, Maine.
Maisel said Maine residents respect Snowe for her work ethic and her willingness to "put policy above politics." Anthony Buxton, a former chairman of the Maine Democratic Party, said she's admired for tenacity in a life shaped by tragedy.
She was orphaned at 9, first losing her mother to breast cancer and then her father to a heart attack. In 1973, her first husband, Peter Snowe, then a member of the Maine Legislature, was killed in a car accident.
Snowe was elected to her late husband's seat and has remained in politics ever since, serving in Congress for three decades.
Snowe will face intense pressure in the weeks ahead. One group, the Maine People's Alliance, is spending $150,000 on ads urging Snowe and Sen. Susan Collins, a fellow moderate Republican, to back the government-run insurance option.
Snowe's vote also has caused "tremendous unhappiness among Senate Republicans," said Norm Ornstein, a congressional analyst with the American Enterprise Institute, a conservative think tank. He said any move by top Republicans to punish her would likely be ineffective, given her strong support at home.

VIENNA, Austria—Tell City graduate Lauren Goffinet was one of the leading scorers for the USA team that competed in the Vienna Cup Pentecost women's basketball tourney June 11-13.
The 5-foot-11 Goffinet started every game as the U.S. team went 3-2 in the 16-team tourney.
The team then played an exhibition game in the Czech Republic against that country's university team June 14. The USA won that game by 23 points as Goffinet scored 20.
TELL CITY—Kevin Davis and Mike Wilson shot a 13-under-par 127 to win the Glen Ress Memorial Open golf scramble June 11-12.

Sports Editor
TELL CITY—Tell City football coach Travis Atwell submitted his resignation Monday to take a teaching job with Apollo High School in Owensboro, Ky.
TELL CITY – Adult lap swimming, formerly held only during the school year, is being held this summer at Tell City High School's pool 6-7 p.m. Mondays and Wednesdays.
Cost is $3 per session.
TELL CITY – The Tell City baseball camp will be held at Frank Clemens Field June 27 to July 1.
Ages 9-10 meet 8-10 a.m. each day and ages 11-13 will meet 10 a.m.-noon each day. There is no charge.
Anyone interested in attending the camp who did not turn in the registration form at school should call Brad Stiles at 719-1697.
TELL CITY – No-hitters are rare in slowpitch softball, but Paige Gelarden of Smitty's Memorial Team threw her second one in as many years in the Tell City Women's League Tuesday.
Gelarden faced the minimum nine batters as Smitty's beat Cinderella's 20-0 in three innings by the 20-run rule.
TELL CITY – Hair Razors continued its hot hitting, winning both its games Thursday in Tell City's age-13-16 girls softball league.
Hair Razors thus improved to 5-1 and widened its lead in the league. Carriage Inn and Cash Waggner & Associates are each two games back with two games to go.
Derrian Zabel went 3 for 3 as Hair Razors beat Ohio Valley Gas 12-10.
Sierra Alvarez went 2 for 2 and Allie LaForce, Bria Gelarden and Taylor McFarling each added a double.
DES MOINES, Iowa – Nick Huber set school records in six different track events for Perry Central. Now that versatility has helped get him named an NCAA Division I All-American in the decathlon.
Huber finished 13th in the decathlon but the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association also selects the top eight Americans as All-Americans. He was seventh among Americans at the NCAA championships.
TELL CITY – Hair Razors didn't play in Tell City's age-13-16 girls softball league Tuesday but still took over first place.
Cash Waggner was 3-0 going into Tuesday, a half game ahead of 3-1 Hair Razors. But Cash Waggner lost both its games to fall into a second-place tie with Ohio Valley Gas.
Carriage Inn beat Cash Waggner 16-7 as Allison Parker went 3 for 3 and Alex Morrow hit a three-run inside-the-park homer.
Sydney Goffinet added a double and a single for Carriage Inn.
By CHRIS JOHANNES, Spencer County Journal-Democrat
LINCOLN CITY – The Hoosier Express scored all its runs in the last three innings to beat Rockport Post 254 10-9 at Heritage Hills in American Legion baseball Friday.
The Hoosier Express, a team comprised of players from Heritage Hills, Forest Park, Southridge and Tell City, is in its inaugural season.
Jenkins Post's Kyle Schwinghamer swatted a three-run homer in the fifth inning over the right-center fence that scored Trent Benningfield and Logan Brown.

U.S. Senator Kay R. Hagan (NC) today released the following statement honoring our servicemembers and veterans in celebration of Memorial Day and in remembrance of the Americans who served in the Vietnam War.
"Memorial Day is a day that we honor the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice so that we may have the freedoms that we hold dear in the U.S.," said Hagan. "On this 50th Anniversary of the Vietnam War it is important to thank the 206,000 North Carolinians who served in Vietnam and to honor the 1,600 who lost their lives there. Today, sixteen thousand brave North Carolina troops remain deployed abroad, pursuing the mission to disrupt, dismantle and defeat the terrorists who threaten global security. Each of us should take a moment this Memorial Day to remember with gratitude those servicemembers who continue to fight to protect our homes and families and especially those who gave their lives so we could live ours in freedom. This gratitude is extended to the military families who continue to provide invaluable support to our troops and their loved ones."
Senator Hagan comes from a strong military family. Her father and brother both served in the Navy. Her husband, Chip, is a Vietnam veteran, and two of her nephews have served in Iraq and Afghanistan. Hagan's father-in-law, Charlie Hagan, was a two-star Marine General and veteran of WWII.

Increasingly, the term "solar technology" is being used to include any renewable energy system that directly or indirectly depends on the sun for energy. This includes waterpower, biogas, and wood fuels, for example, which are covered in separate chapters. This chapter is therefore concerned with direct use of solar energy.
Probably the most significant direct solar technology for the South is that of crop drying, which is covered in the section CROP DRYING, PRESERVATION AND STORAGE. Solar distillation for water purification has been covered in the WATER SUPPLY section.
On this page you will find materials on passive solar architecture for house heating, passive solar cooking for the tropics, solar greenhouses, water heaters, cookers, irrigation pumps, and photovoltaic cells. A good general survey of the technologies that may some day have relevance for the South can be found in Technology for Solar Energy Utilization; most of these, however, are not economically competitive at present.
Several publications on passive solar architecture, now a booming field in the United States, are included. Passive solar design involves careful choices of building orientation, layout, location of glass windows, and materials to best take advantage of natural energy flows. Because they minimize the use of costly primary fuels for space heating and cooling, passive solar buildings will eventually dominate new construction in much of the United States. In North America and the other parts of the temperate zones, heating is usually the primary design objective. This is also true in parts of the Himalayas, the Andes, and other mountainous regions, where indigenous structures often reflect certain passive solar principles. In these areas of the South there is the potential for new applications of' recent advances in the field..By contrast, the cooling of living spaces is the primary objective of passive solar design in the tropics. Elements of Solar Architecture for Tropical Regions and Design for Climate: Guidelines for the Design of Low Cost Houses for the Climates of Kenya introduce the basic design considerations for passive solar cooling.
Conventional greenhouses consume large quantities of energy to control the climatic conditions inside. Solar greenhouses, on the other hand, are heated primarily by the sun, and are often attached to houses to provide home heating as well. Low-cost designs using plastic sheeting and local materials may be of relevance in the mountainous regions of the South for supplementary home heating and food production. In the tropics greenhouses are probably mainly of interest because the vegetables grown inside require less water. Several publications reviewed here offer a look at current U.S. solar greenhouses.
Solar water heaters for domestic hot water are becoming more widely used in the industrialized nations as a response to the "energy crisis". They are well suited to temperate regions. A typical system consists of a flat plate collector and storage tank which holds water heated to about 140 degrees Fahrenheit (60 degrees Centigrade).
In tropical regions solar water heating systems can provide hot water for bathing, washing clothes and other uses. (Water heated in a normal flat plate collector does not boil, however, so this is not directly suited to water purification schemes.) Solar water heating in these circumstances is probably best used in health centers and urban homes where there is already a demand for hot water. Katmandu, Nepal is a good example of a city in a developing country with a well-established solar hot water heater industry.
For developing countries, the cost of materials for solar hot water heaters may make them rather expensive. There are more than a dozen ways to make a basic flat plate collector: there is some potential for very low cost designs, particularly if a low pressure (gravity-fed) system is being used. Such collectors can use metal other than copper, and even replace pipes altogether by using shallow tanks. The insulating material behind the collector plate can be local natural fiber such as coconut husks or rice hulls.
Solar cookers have been mentioned as a possible alternative in fuel-short and deforested regions. The 1962 publication Evaluation of Solar Cookers offers a look at many designs, including most of those still being tested today. The high cost, awkward operation, slowness, and inconvenience of outdoor cooking have prevented this technology from finding a niche. Nevertheless, these devices remain a fixture at research centers and exhibitions, where they regularly amaze visitors. To our knowledge, despite two decades of scattered attempts, there are no examples of the successful introduction of solar cookers.
The use of solar energy to drive engines for irrigation water pumps has recently received a great deal of attention. In this application, flat plate collectors provide hot water, which is used to heat liquid gas. The gas expands and drives the engine. The gas then passes through a condenser, where it is cooled by the well water, and the cycle is then repeated. This appears to be one of those solar energy applications that is technically but not economically feasible in developing countries. Though the costs seem to be dropping below $25,000 per installed kw of capacity (the level of a few years ago) they are a long way from being affordable. Locally-built water pumping windmills appear to be a far more cost-effective alternative in areas with even relatively low average wind speeds. In fact, the most thoroughly tested solar pump designs seem likely to remain technological dead ends, built in poor countries only through the intervention of rich country aid. programs. Some of the completely new concepts in solar pump designs may prove more fruitful.
Photovoltaic cells that produce electricity from sunlight will have a place in water pumping and many other high value tasks as the price of these cells comes down significantly. For lowest cost and greatest simplicity, solar pump systems can be designed without electrical storage equipment, and such systems may one day provide important amounts of irrigation water to the world's small farmers. The photovoltaic cells themselves will continue to be a relatively high technology, imported product in most developing countries. The foreign exchange requirements for photovoltaic cell imports are likely to be a serious barrier to widespread use. In addition, while the decentralized energy production offered is well-matched to settlement patterns in the rural South, electricity is not an energy form well-matched to the energy needs of these communities, where cooking, draft power, and transport are the important energy consuming tasks along with irrigation pumping.
A whole assortment of electrical equipment would be needed to store and make use of solar electricity, and very little of this equipment could be produced or afforded in the villages. The near-term applications are lighting and remote communications equipment in government buildings and the homes of the wealthy; these applications are already booming in some places because of the high cost of alternatives. For an excellent introduction to the subject of photovoltaics and the associated equipment, see Solar Powered Electricity and Solar Photovoltaic Products: A guide for Development Workers.
The sun's energy is "available" everywhere, yet it is also a diffuse or low-grade energy form. This means that while solar energy is an excellent, low-cost means of creating temperature differences of tens of degrees for drying and heating, it is inevitably difficult and expensive to collect and concentrate solar energy to generate electricity or perform mechanical work. For this reason, drying, heating, and cooling are the most practical solar applications for most communities in the South.
