Kentucky Statutes (KRS 133.045) establishes a period of time each year, referred to as open inspection, when taxpayers who do not believe their assessments to be fair and equitable are encouraged to conference with the PVA. The 2014 open inspection period begins the first Monday in May, May 5, and continues for 13 days including Saturdays concluding on Monday, May 19.
You do not have to wait until May 5 to conference with the office. Now is the time to request a review of your property for the 2014 tax year if you believe the current assessment is not fair or equitable. Please fill out this online form to begin the process or call our office to speak with an assessor. Property values cannot be appealed or changed after the end of open inspection on May 19.
Assessment notices were mailed to all property owners in Fayette County whose assessments increased in 2014 from the prior year. You do not have to receive an assessment notice in order to discuss or question the assessed value of your property, but you must start the conversation while changes can still be made to the value. To learn more, visit the Assessments and Appeals page.
Property owners who remain dissatisfied with their assessments after conferencing with the PVA may appeal to the Local Board of Tax Appeals. You may appeal in writing to the Local Board of Tax Appeals c/o the Fayette County Clerk, 162 E. Main Street, by the close of business on May 20, 2014. Appeals filed by a paid representative must include a letter of authorization from the owner.
If you do not agree with the decision of the local board then you have the right to appeal to the Kentucky Board of Tax Appeals and ultimately to the Circuit Court.
Homeowners aged 65 years or older, or receiving disability payments, may qualify for Kentucky's Homestead Exemption. Find more information about the Homestead Exemption and view the printable application by visiting the Homestead Exemption page of our web site.
We invite you to explore our website, examine your property record and check the accuracy of the characteristics we have on file. If any of this information is incorrect, you may call our office and speak with an assessor who will make any necessary changes, or email us to correct the information we have. As always, our goal is to be fair and equitable with our assessment process.
We hope this information has been helpful to you and if you have any questions about your assessment, homestead or disability exemptions, feel free to call us here at the PVA office.

Return Addresses
Have you noticed that some people don't give a return address on envelopes? Not just junk mail – personal correspondence. Didn't bother us back in the devil-may-care 90's, but now - we feel a little weird about it.
Plainly put, for snail mail just as with email, you should clearly identify yourself to the recipient on the envelope:
- The post office needs to know where to return mail.
- People want to know who's writing them.
- (and this is important in our increasingly mobile society) - Your friends need to know where you hang your hat these days.
Luckily, there are many ways to get your return address on an envelope.
There is the straightforward personalized address stamp. Most are self-inking these days so it's no-mess. Then there are custom stampers with flair. We sell them in circle shapes and the combinations are endless, especially when you add multi-colored inks. Please note that you should use these on the back of an envelope, as you would a seal. They are too big for placement on the front but appear perfectly grand on an envelope back.
If you are a traditionalist, you can opt for a personalized embosser. Used on the back flap of an envelope, they radiate style and grace, and there is something quite satisfying about squeezing those silver handles.
Personalized labels are an option for those who want to add a little character. Many choose to layer their look with a label on the envelope to match the stationery inside. Again, watch the sizing here. If it starts to encroach on the postmark area and into the addressee portion, put in on the back.
Custom stampers display your address with flair.

how I saved my teeth
52 people found the following review helpful
Posted by alloriginal From Pennsylvania on May 20, 2013
Purchased at iHerb
After neglecting my teeth for over a decade, I finally was forced to a dentists office by a raging infection. The dentist poked and prodded, took xrays and asked how soon I intented to have dentures. With serious gum disease and several cavities, I was right at the tipping point where a future of applesauce and Polident seemed inevitable. I submitted to my first thorough teeth cleaning in decades, and resolved to finally get serious about my teeth and gums. I studied the matter at great length, and came up with a regimen that seems to have worked for me: Each morning I brush with a peroxide-containing toothpaste (Mentadent). I follow this by flossing with dental floss treated with tea tree (Desert Essence, Tea Tree Oil Dental Floss, Waxed, 50 Yds [45.7 m]). I follow this with a mouth rinse using one ounce of hot water, into which I've mixed a teaspoon of colloidal silver (FutureBiotics, Advanced Colloidal Silver, 4 fl oz [118 ml]). I swish the mixture around my mouth for 30 seconds or so, trying to reach between and behind all my teeth. At this point, I've killed as many bad germs as I can. I follow this with one tablespoon of liquid acidophilus (American Health, Probiotic Acidophilus, Plain Flavor, 16 fl oz [472 ml])mixed in one ounce of tepid water. I swish that around for 30 seconds or so, and spit the mixture out. During the day I'll have a couple of xylitol mints (Xlear Inc [Xclear], Spry, Berryblast Mints, Sugar Free, 240 Count, 144 g), which also kills the germs that cause cavities. It leaves my mouth feeling clean. In the evening I repeat the brushing and flossing, but follow it with a different regimen, designed to reduce inflammation and remineralize the teeth: in 2 ounces of warm water I mix a half-teaspoon of colloidal minerals (Trace Minerals Research, ConcenTrace, Trace Mineral Drops, 8 fl oz [237 ml]), a quarter teaspoon of ascorbate (Source Naturals, Ultimate Ascorbate C Powder, 16 oz [453.6 g])and a quarter teaspoon of MSM (Doctor's Best, Best MSM Powder, 250 g). I swish it around for 60 seconds or so, making sure it reaches every corner of my mouth. I believe that this saved my teeth. My dentist noticed that several cavities that he was expecting to fill were no longer there. Moreover, the gum disease that had threatened to have me in dentures was mysteriously cured. I now believe that I'll have my original teeth into my eighties, at least. Thank goodness for Iherb! I believe that nutritional supplements saved my life. I've tried a lot of products, and I know what works and what doesn't. My reviews are honest, straighforward, and based on my experience. Read my other reviews to quickly learn from my three decades of research and experimentation.

MSM has SO MANY benefits, it's impossible to mention them all. I do know I've been using the powder for years and have VERY long hair and have to file my nails down because they grow too long ! Relieves joint pain, Reduces stomach acid, Helps remove toxins from the body, Reduces stomach inflammation.
Perfect OptiMSM

This is one of the few MSM powders without silica used as anti caking agent. OptiMSM is manufactured in the United States according to strict manufacturing standards, eliminating the risk of contamination from toxins like benzene, toluene or pesticides. Other brands, for example these made in China may contain impurities or contaminants. OptiMSM is pharmaceutical grade quality and is produced by the method of distillation which removes any potential impurities, leaving only pure 99.9% MSM.
MSM is AWESOME, I said AWESOME

Posted by SherryB From Texas on Aug 23, 2012
Purchased at iHerb
I am one of MSM's biggest fans. I was in a car accident 14 years ago that left me with a twisted pelvis and chronic back pain. My muscles were so tight across my back and sacral/buttock area that I could not walk, sit or stand. Doctors put me on all kinds of drugs and I just fell into a deep depression, lost tons on weight and lost hope. I read about MSM and started taking it and it helped clear out so much muscle pain, spasms and tightness. My issue is significant, but this one product, I thank God for. Muscle pain, auto-immune issues, arthritis, joint pain, allergies....please give MSM a try. Start slowly on the dosage and work up and give it time. Doctor's Best has not additives. Clumps a little, but better than having additives.
My skin is much better

Twice a year, once in the fall semester and once in the winter semester, McGill University's Drama and Theatre department puts on a play. A collaboration between student actors in the school, the set and lighting design class, and the costume-making class, all the preparation is run out of the school's costume shop hidden in the basement of the Arts Building. Catherine Bradley, McGill's resident costume designer and manager of the Department of English's costume shop, teaches the history of costume as well as a more hands-on course in which a handful of students design and create the wardrobe for each production. Over the years, Catherine has had a hand in the costumes of dozens of shows, and inspired students to pursue careers of their own wielding needles and sketchbooks.
How did you come to this job?
I have a certificate from Ryerson in fashion design because at the time it wasn't a university and didn't grant degrees — it started the year after I graduated. My first job in theatre was in Stratford, which I started even before I had graduated from Ryerson… I worked Stratford and Shaw and the National Arts Center, Montreal Opera, the National Ballet, lots… I was pretty astounded that it was really not hard to find work. Basically at my first job my co-workers said, "oh you should come with us, we're going to Fredericton to the playhouse," and I did. I met people there who were working in Toronto next, and they asked me if I would come with them too. I kept being picked up by the next team going to the next place, and as long as you are willing to keep moving with them it works pretty well.
I came to the McGill job when I got a phone call asking if I wanted it. I was working at Stratford at the time and didn't even know the position was available. I'd only been in costumes for about four years, so it was still quite early in my career. But I had been working as the wardrobe assistant at Concordia during the winter and the wardrobe manager there said that I should take it, so I did.
When did you know that this is what you wanted to do?
It took a long time actually. At first I thought it would be a fun thing to do for the summer, and then I'd get on with my real life as a fashion designer. For the first few years I had one eye out going, "oh, I should really start working in fashion design sometime soon," but I was working all the time so I didn't prioritize changing. It was quite a few years before I kind of went, "oh! I guess this is what I'm doing." I figured I would just do it for as long as it was fun, and it didn't really stop being fun, so I never got on with my real life. Now this is my real life.
What do you think the role of costumes is in a theatre production?
To illuminate the story for the audience. It's almost like the illustrations in a book, it helps the text make sense, and on stage it helps all the actions make sense. You are painting the picture on the stage. I think it's equally important to the lighting, the set, what the actors bring… It's really important to not think that the part that you bring is any more important than anything else, or more valuable than anything else, because then you start to get egotistical and short-sighted. It's more about the team.
What is your favourite period to work with and do you prefer menswear or women's wear?
Victorian! Personally I really like to work on women's wear. I am intrigued by corsetry and body shaping. I like historical periods much better than modern periods, and I like periods that have a lot of richness to them, and a really elaborate silhouette.
What is your favourite show that you've worked on?
The Duchess of Malfi. From a design perspective, it was very challenging. The director wanted something that at first wasn't at all clear. She had wanted something kind of… a mix of the renaissance silhouette, but with a futuristic rockstar feel. I designed the whole show, I thought I had it but I was completely off. I had studs, and bubble wrap, and leather… it really wasn't what she wanted. I started completely from scratch and looked at it almost as if it was dance-wear. It's a very dark play, so I used black window screen fabric and made long skirts that looked a little bit like long ballet tutus. I matched those with black corsets and then accessorized it with just a sleeve, or jewellery, or scrumptious small details. With the men we just did black tights and a doublet. We had velvet hats in rich colours, ornate golds, and rich, rich tones that went over a very sheer layer so you could see through to the body. The lighting was astounding… it was more conceptual; simple and stark in a way, but it also had a kind of jewel-tone overcast. Spike Lyne was the technical director and he was really phenomenal. I feel like he created a set just with lights.

I love the Filmation version of Hawke.
I voted filmation as did most everyone else.
But I agree with some of the others that what I really want is the Filmation Base, with perhaps MYP Dagger or hints.
Basically a Filmation heavy combo of the two. To me like Mattel, her design is basically a "Stylized" version of Filmation in MYP appearance, so there isnt much issue either way.
I'd prefer a Red Headgear like Filmation, though I like the cut of her clothes a bit better in MYP. I like her face more in Filmation.
It's really a non issue, as this character is great either way. But make it like they've made many MYP characters with a Filmation or vintage origin: Vintage basic with some few good MYP Details.
i'm glad this question was brought up.
i prefer the myp version of hawke.
if delora is introduced she could be filmation. so that was there is a good difference between the two characters.
Story: Classizied MYP
Head: Classizied Fimation
Body: Classicized MYP (i.e. classic wings instead of 200X tech wings)
I really like the feathery gloves of the 200X design...
The main thing would be that she get's a bio that is closer to the MYP version of the character.
Other than that: Let the creativity o the Four Horsemen shine and let them create the ultimate Hawke!
I'd like to see Filmation style colors. Adding the MYP weapon would be cool.
Support Green Mini-Comic Trap Jaw in MOTUC!
Land Shark in MOTUC!!!!!! Do it Mattel!!! Do it NOW!!!!
Support The Power & Honor Foundation
Power-Con/ThunderCon... now going green with TMNT!
For the sake of continuity i'm going with Filmation Hawke but truth be told, i'd be just as happy with either.
I'd prefer the MYP version but I don't think she's going to get a variant so I'd opt for a nice blend of MYP and Filmation.
"Evilseed with his MYP redesign dominated the poll pulling ahead with a massive lead."
Filmation. She would just look better in the Classics line trying to make it look cohesive.
Check your local WEATHER here & enter zip.
Go Big Red!!!
A blend is fine with the two. But I'll have to go with MYP Hawke.
Hard one this one. But I went MYP. But only if they could go with FilMation hair and wing colour.
We don't need no education...
Yes you do, you've just used a double negative!
i'll take either, but i prefer the filmation version of her.
Can I get a "Hell Yeah" for Scorpia!!!
My Trader Feedback thread:
Hawke isn't very high on my want list of characters, but if we get her I'd prefer something more MYP inspired. The blue outfit gives her a little more visual difference from Stratos, I think it would make her stand out a bit more and be more unique.
Last edited by Scotward; January 25, 2012 at 09:01am.
Hawke would be a nice figure to have but there are so many others that I would like to see first. That being said, I would prefer a vintage look with 200x accessories, similar to the way 4H and Mattel handled Fisto.
Filmation or forget it.
Filmation for me

I prefer Filmation....
myp she looks like a steam-punk. I like that.
I would like a hybrid of the two. filmation/myp.
Wish List: Eldor, Skeleton Warriors, King Argho, Horde Wraiths, Kobolds, Prahvus, Lord Masque, Rock Monster, Gen. Tartaran, Evil Seed, Carnivorous Plant, Lizard-Man, Hawke, Crimson Fury, Melaktha, Spinwit, Ra-Jarr, Kelclar, King Miro, Dare, Missile-Toe, Sh'gora, Vizar, Harpy, ABC Giants, Lodar, Dragoon, Darius, Negator, Masks of Power Demons, Slob-Boar, Bubblor, Three-Beast, Nocturna
Filmation of course since thats the only 1 I know of.
By the Power of Grey Skull!
I want her...I mean...lets wipe out the star sisters and have hawke! and thanks to those in the help forum that explained to me the best way to use the search tool
I voted Filmation of course, but a "Classicized" hybrid would be best.
Everything Filmation except new MYP-style feathery gloves, "Battleground Teela" belt/shorts, bare thighs, and red FLM-style high-high boots. Add the MYP sword and sheath. That would be a great figure.
And a removable harness that fits a female Avion Jetpack!

Hair Heaven! – I've been a client of Lisa's for many years. She is a phenomenal stylist, stays current with the industry, and has handled every hair challenge I've had. She approaches her work with joy and integrity. She listens to what I want and then tells me - honestly but professionally - whether it will work with my hair texture, color, etc. When I had my doubts about the keratin treatment, for example, she spent time answering my questions, and not once did I feel like I was being "sold." I had it done and everything she said was spot on. Red Inc. offers high quality services and products, all the way. I heartily recommend Lisa and her staff to everyone I know.
review – If you want a great haircut Red Inc. is a great place to have it done. I also had my highlights done there as well and I wasn't quite as impressed. The color was nice, but the owner didn't start the highlights at the root. When I got home and looked at the back of my head, I saw my roots! I saw a little less than half of an inch of roots that hadn't been colored. I couldn't help but think that the reasoning behind that action was so that I could go back sooner. Well, I never went back and that's too bad because I'm very loyal to a great stylist.

My baby has hiccups ALL the time....every time he eats he gets the hiccups....sometimes to the point it makes him spit up...I burp him frequently, and most times he does burp, but frequently he seems hard to burp. Any ideas???? Oh, he is 2 weeks old.
from all the research i have done i have learned that there are many things that can cause hiccups. these are the most common things that i have found can cause them, but doesn't always. eating too much, going from hot to cold or cold to hot too quickly, and a growing diaphram (usually right before a growth spurt in my daughters case). When my daughter was really little she would have them more often and for longer periods of time. I started to notice that if i had changed how much formula i gave her she would hiccup and spit up the excess until she adjusted. other times i would notice that she would have them for a week strait then all of the sudden she wouldn't fit into her clothing any more. Hiccups aren't usually something to be too worried about, but if you feel that it is excessive you could always give a call to the doctor and have it checked.
Unless he is overly bothered by them, I wouldn't worry or let them bother you. They tend to bother the parents more than the babies!
It seems that some babies just get the hiccups more than others. Did your baby get the hiccups in utero as well? I find that many mom's share that their currently hiccupy baby was a hiccupy baby from day one of gestation! :)
That being said I think Brinny has some good advice so far as getting the doc to take a peak at baby and making sure that everything is healthy.
While you are waiting to get in with the doctor try smaller more frequent meals. Burp often. Help baby pace feedings by making sure that he doesn't take more than 4-5 gulps between breaths. I would also do some investigation and think about if there is anything that makes it better or worse.
Let us know how things are going!
Did your little one have the hiccups when he was in your tummy? Mine did and they felt so odd! Even now he has hiccups often but there really isn't any reason to be concerned. MommyRN4 is right - it's more frustrating for parents than the babies! :-)
My daughter still has this and she will be 2 months tomorrow. I used to worry about it but now i just give her a little water after a feeding or I will keep her rested on my shoulder and rub her back until they go away.
So glad to hear that things are going well for you and baby. I love it when a back rub helps! :) Keep up the good work!
When my baby is still 1-5 months she experience hiccups most of the time, I simply do the same thing I rub her back and let her drink water after that the hiccups gone.
Sometimes also letting the baby cry for a while would help her to stop hiccups and rub her back.

When you get your picture taken, everyone says, "Say cheese! Smile!" So you do — you open your mouth and show your teeth. When you see the picture, you see a happy person looking back at you. The healthier those teeth are, the happier you look. Why is that?
It's because your teeth are important in many ways. If you take care of them, they'll help take care of you. Strong, healthy teeth help you chew the right foods to help you grow. They help you speak clearly. And yes, they help you look your best.
How does taking care of your teeth help with all those things? Taking care of your teeth helps prevent plaque, which is a clear film of bacteria that sticks to your teeth.
After you eat, bacteria go crazy over the sugar on your teeth, like ants at a picnic. The bacteria break it down into acids that eat away tooth enamel, causing holes called cavities. Plaque also causes gingivitis, which is gum disease that can make your gums red, swollen, and sore. Your gums are those soft pink tissues in your mouth that hold your teeth in place.
If you don't take care of your teeth, cavities and unhealthy gums will make your mouth very, very sore. Eating meals will be difficult. And you won't feel like smiling so much.

Cargo Conversion
By Jeremy R.C. Cox
May-June 1998
In the United States alone, over 360 billion dollars worth of goods are shipped via airfreight every year. This figure is going to increase exponentially well into the 21st century, as industry pundits have projected that the worldwide air cargo fleet is going to grow by 85 percent in the next 20 years. In fact, officials at Boeing have reportedly estimated that roughly 70 percent of the aircraft that will join the air cargo fleet in the next 20 years will be modified and converted aircraft; not new OEM-supplied cargo aircraft.
A typical modification candidate is an aircraft that has a fair amount of time in service, usually 10,000 to 12,000 hours for a business jet or 30,000 to 40,000 hours for a commercial airliner. Also, the typical candidate was originally delivered as a passenger aircraft, meaning no cargo door, no emergency control relocation, no additional escape hatches, no cargo liner, and no restraining nets, etc. So what does it take to convert an aircraft into a cargo variant? I will attempt to provide you with a brief insight into this major task.
First, to install a cargo door on a 'narrow door' passenger aircraft, an intense and comprehensive structural substantiation and analysis process must be initiated. The OEM generally designs a semi monocoque, or stressed skin, aircraft structure. This type of fuselage structure consists of an internal skeletal main frame and beam primary structure that the rest of the pressurized metal airframe is built onto and around. The most significant structural loads are fed into this primary structure, while the exterior skin and stringers, known as secondary structure, is designed to carry the remaining loads in a stressed skin design.
Obviously, it will be necessary to breach the load path design of both the primary and secondary structure to enable the installation of an effectively-sized cargo door and crew emergency escape hatch. The remaining structure, after cutting the opening for the door and crew emergency escape hatch, has to be reinforced to carry the imbalanced/ altered loads. Also, it is essential that the new load paths within the modified structure are contained to acceptable safe limits and no stress risers are allowed to develop because of an incomplete stress analysis being done at the design stage of the project. A stress riser is a location at which stressful loads are concentrated and may cause failure of the effected structure.
Next, the maximum payload that can be carried without exceeding the center of gravity and weight limits must be determined. With this basic information group in hand, it will allow the engineers to perform a stress analysis of the floor structure and then provide guidance to how the under floor and floor support structure must be altered to carry these new loads. On virtually all converted aircraft, it is necessary to divide the cargo area (aircraft cabin) up into load zones that have differing weight limits. This is usually required to keep the aircraft within its C of G Range. Also, in some cases, the load bearing capacity of the floor structure varies throughout the compartment. The floor structure in a pressurized aircraft not only has to carry the load of the items that are placed upon it, but the structure has to support the variable internal air pressure loads that are imposed upon it by the pressurization system.
The cargo load zones that are determined for the aircraft will have to be placarded and will most likely be copied into the freight loadmasters load distribution paperwork. By copying this information into a loading form, a loadmaster will find it easier to calculate the load and distribute the freight safely. Some aircraft have certain devices and controls that have to be accessed in flight during normal or emergency situations. Two examples of this may be landing gear extension controls or fuel shut off valve controls. However, sometimes with freight on board, full unobstructed access to these devices and controls by a crewmember is impossible. In this instance, an alternate means of operating these devices or controls must be designed and incorporated into the cargo modification.

businesses report brisk sales
For a host of reasons and nothing specific to point at, businesses throughout Plumas County are reporting that sales have been good and in some cases very good this holiday season. For example, Charlotte Smith, owner of Ayoobs in Quincy, told us Black Friday and Small Business Saturday were her best retail sales days in four years!
So, THANK YOU Plumas County residents — and guests — for doing your part to help bolster our local economy.
Remember our challenge: If each of our newspaper readers each spent $100 this holiday season locally it would pump more than $1.8 million into our local coffers. There are only 10 more shopping days before Christmas, this newspaper is packed full of ads offering great ideas and super deals!
the $100 challenge!
With the holidays just around the corner and given the state of our economy, this special shop at home message — or challenge, if you will — from a year ago certainly warrants repeating.
If each of our newspaper readers spent just $100 each shopping at home this holiday season, it would pump over $1.8 million into the Plumas County economy — and that's based on a conservative average of just two readers per newspaper sold each week. And it's worth noting: For every $100 spent with a local business, $68 is returned to the community.
free oil changes for seniors
Once again, in the true spirit of Thanksgiving, The Twenty Garage in Chester is honoring Senior Citizens (62 and older) and their caretakers by giving them (limited to the first 20) a free oil change. It happens on Nov. 20, so be sure you are the first in line. Ken Anthony's shop is behind the Kopper Kettle restaurant and provides complete automotive service for cars and light trucks, both foreign and domestic.
crescent country winners
As always, Barbara and Lisa said their annual Holiday Open House was a huge success. Visitors enjoyed delicious appetizers and hot mulled cider. Three of them — Inez Robbins and Sandy Condon from Quincy and Diane Long from Chester — were especially happy, each winning a $50 gift certificate.
wildwood seniors fundraiser
Gamboni's Peninsula Grill is hosting "The Artists Of Wildwood" fundraiser Tuesday, Nov. 16, from 5:30 - 8:30 p.m. Owner John Gamboni said there will be a silent auction featuring the work of several local artists, along with a table of assorted homemade crafts offered for sale that were created by some of the talented Wildwood residents. Donations of $10 will be accepted, which includes appetizers. Proceeds will benefit the Wildwood senior activities department.
Francis joins Chester Dentist

TangoCMS 2.2.0 Closes Security Holes
The TangoCMS project has released version 2.2.0 of its web page content management system. Central to the release is resolving some security issues.
During their current development cycle, the TangoCMS team found a number of security problems and decided to release "Eagle" with the express goal of resolving them. Planned enhancements such as a simple WYSIWYG content editor and improved page layout will have to wait until version 2.3.0 due out in mid-2009, according to their roadmap.
An entry in the TangoCMS bug tracker identifies the issue as being one of Cross-Site-Request Forgery (CSRF) in a number of instances. The vulnerabilities also affected previous versions, for which the project can't provide details for obvious security reasons.
A CSRF attack forces an authenticated web application user to execute unwanted actions of the attacker's choosing, possibly compromising the user's data. The attack typically results from a link or a graphic URL that the attacker sneaks into the background. Especially vulnerable are attacks on privileged users such as web administrators. Attackers can actually use the privileges to wipe out content or even accounts. The Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP) has further details on CSRF attacks, also known as XSRF and "session riding," among other names.
TangoCMS is available for download as a tarball. The site also describes how to check out the PHP source code from the project's Subversion repository.

Ahh, Dublin--it
already has a special place in my heart. I learned a valuable lesson; they
wanted 10 euro a day for left luggage, which was way too expensive, so I ended
up lugging my 25 kg of gear around Dublin.
Worse yet, most of it is soft and plushy, bulky. I hopped on the airlink
bus thinking it was to the central square, but it was a couple of blocks off.
Luckily that put me in front of National Museum of Ireland, which is wonderful
because ancient stuff is right at the top of my list. They had lots of
gold found in tombs thousands of years old and, quite creepily, a few people
that they found "preserved" in peat moss. They were much worse than
the mummies you might have seen on TV; they had a strange shimmer.
After that, I was right around the corner from the National Art gallery, so I
stopped in there. It was just as I expected: a boatload of European art
from 1650-1850. Typical, not too interesting, and I do love art museums.
I had lunch in a pub with my customary pint of Guinness, which sadly was about 30% more than it might have cost in America, even after going over the ocean. I walked by what I thought was the Irish parliament (I missed the rare tour by only a few minutes). Between jet lag and sleeping a nearly criminal small amount the week before, I decided I was too tired, and of course I had no map of the city, not even a vague outline (despite visiting the information desk twice). I had no city bus schedule or map, and found out later that while one does exist, it's never anywhere near where you are.
It was at that point I didn't know north from south, which direction to go, how far it was or even where any landmarks in the city were. After an hour of people watching and resting, I went at it with some gusto...all this time carrying 25kg of luggage (It's of note that, for the purposes of this journal, I am giving up English measurements. That should make someone happy).
I asked a couple of bus drivers, and some tourists (ha, they were all taking the 14 euro tour buses, which actually seemed to go places and were quite plentiful) where the Busaras bus station was. After a while, I was able to figure out the right direction to go, so I found a busy street and hopped on a bus at 1 euro. It was crazy me with my luggage...and the bus starts moving with me barely on. It was a double-decker bus, and with the weight I was carrying, it made me swagger like a drunken sailor. The bus driver insisted that I needed a receipt, even though the city bus doesn't allow free bus transfers. I tried to make it to a real bus seat, but these two old ladies insisted I sit in the handicapped spot. Now mind you, I don't even really know where this bus is headed or even where I was trying to go, besides that it was the Busaras bus station and that the city buses didn't actually go to it. Silly! So, I asked these two ladies (known henceforth as the Sisters) where I should find it, and happily they were headed there themselves, so they told me not to have a worry. They were constantly bantering with each other and me. The Sisters were about 70 years old. It was incredible talking to them. After a short bit, we got off the bus and were in the middle of the city with a large spire marking the general post office. It was absolute pedestrian mayhem. The Sisters kept asking me if I was all right and if we should slow down; they were quite robust and it seemed that my bag was more of a strain for them than me. After about 10 minutes of walking we made it to the station. My bag actually wasn't so bad and didn't slow me down much, but it's bulky and looks ridiculously heavy. There were no signs anywhere that I could find on the station, and for the longest time I wasn't even sure if it was indeed the Busaras station, but another station with buses to Galway.
I didn't have correct change for the pay toilet (which seems like a scam so they can take out the extra money at the end of the day). For some reason, even after everything else, this is what frustrated me. So I asked a stranger for change, and after he was sure I wasn't trying to scam him, he gave it to me and then I was happy. The bus to Galway was incredibly cramped for a taller person and the overhead bin wouldn't take anything thicker than a brief case. I had an aisle seat and stuck my legs way into the aisle. The scenery wasn't much to speak of, just occasionally some hills in the background. After a wonderful amount of catnapping and 4.5 hours, the bus arrived in Galway.
People driving on the left was fascinating to me, and roundabouts all over. They don't have anything like our freeways here. And while some tourists complained about that, I found it a bit refreshing. Perhaps the Irish are too relaxed for freeway driving.

The Raiders offense showed no ill effects from playing from its second consecutive game without Gabby Williams, the best player in the state – something it will need to carry out the rest of the season.
Williams reinjured the ACL she tore last season, on Jan. 21 in a 58-37 win at Spanish Springs. She will miss the rest of the season.
"I thought that my girls were working hard," Reed coach Sara Ramirez said. "They were transitioning really well, playing some good man-to-man defense, talking, I was actually proud of them because it looked like they were finally getting in sync with each other.
"OK we don't have Gabby (Williams). Let's figure out what we're doing and we looked like we knew how to play basketball. We were executing the offense, executing the defense. I like it. So hopefully we can keep rolling like that and we'll be right there."
In Reed's Dec. 20, 85-45, home win over the Hawks, Tyler Sumpter scored 50 points and hit a state-record 14 3s.
She didn't threaten her record Tuesday night but once again she torched the Hawks, finishing with a game-high 34 points and connecting on seven shots from beyond the arc.
"I think she (Sumpter) really took over the leadership role," Ramirez said. "It's her senior year so she's not going to go down quietly. She's finding a way to move without the ball. She made some great passes today. So overall I'm impressed by her stepping up."
In a somewhat unenthusiastic start, the Raiders took a 21-10 lead into the second quarter where they built the gap to 41-20. Then it went from bad, to brutal.
The Raiders went on a 42-0 run that did not end until the 6:05 mark in the fourth quarter when Hug's Rachelle Tau hit a layup.
Tau led the Hawks with 13 points and Niaya Lewis (11 points) also found double digits.
Nearly the entire second half featured a running clock, which started two and a half minutes into the third period.
Nakiyah LeSure scored 22 points and Tina Vernon added 11 as every Reed player scored.
"All the girls went out and every time they touched the ball, they had confidence and that was a big thing. There was no hesitation," Ramirez said.
Reed improved to 14-2, 10-2 in league meetings while Hug dropped to 7-14, 1-9 in league contests.
The Raiders play the first of their four remaining regular-season games Tuesday night at home against Damonte Ranch. Tip is at 5:15 p.m.

Barcelona, Spain.
"Catalonia: The Next Independent State in Europe." That's the enormous banner strung across Catalunya, one of the principal squares of the city.
Sound like a joke? Not to these people. The menus in most restaurants are printed in Spanish — and Catalan.
(Read more: Could Slovenia Beat Spain to Be Europe's 6th Bailout?)
The real power broker here is not Spanish Premier Mariano Rajoy, it is Catalan Premier Artur Mas.
This weekend, the city hosted the annual La Merce festival, a celebration of all things Catalan. The highlights was the castells, constructions of 50-foot-high human pyramids. It took place in Jaume Square, in front of City Hall.
At the end of each presentation, the participants sang Catalonian songs and waved the Catalonian flag, while the mayor and regional officials beamed from the balcony above.
Last week, on September 11, the national day of Catalonia, hundreds of thousands marched in favor of independence.
This week, the Catalan parliament is set to approve a resolution that would create a referendum on independence. Eighty-three of the 135 deputies in the regional parliament support independence.
Catalonian parties have sought guidance from Brussels on seceding from Spain.
(Read more: Spain Recoils, as Its Hungry Forage Trash for Next Meal)
As far as I can see, these Catalan independence parties want: 1) a bailout from Madrid to save them from their own regional overspending, 2) a new fiscal pact with Madrid that would let them send less money to the federal government, and 3) eventual independence.
This may sound a bit like the larger-scale drama being played out in the EU, with talk of certain strong nations (Germany) leaving the euro, but its not the same story.
(Read more: Angela Merkel Ridiculed as 'Godmother' of Europe)
Catalonia is in the same economic trouble as Madrid, and if anything, is in even worse shape due to an even greater infrastructure-spending spree and property-bubble bursting than the rest of Spain.
As for the financial crisis, Barcelona seems very much in the same state as Rome, which I had visited two months before: the bars are full, the restaurants are full, the stores and streets are full.
But scratch the surface just a bit, and you can readily see the anxiousness. In the famous resort town of San Sebastian, in the heart of Basque country, breakfast at the posh Maria Cristina hotel was interrupted by the sounds of demonstrators blaring through bullhorns and police sirens wailing.
And what about all those full stores? "Look carefully at those people," the owner of the apartment I was staying in in Barcelona said to me. "They are mostly tourists. We Spaniards have stopped spending because we are not sure what is happening."
When I asked him what would make him start spending again, he looked at his wife and they both said, "We don't know."
He had a point about the full bars, restaurants and stores. At Akelare in San Sebastian, one of the world's most famous restaurants and the epicenter of Basque cooking, the clientele on a Saturday night consisted almost entirely of Brits, Aussies and Americans. I heard no French, Spanish only among the staff, and not even any German.
And what about those widely reported unemployment numbers for Spain: 25 percent out of work, 50 percent of youth unemployed?
"Don't believe that," he said. "There is a huge black market here. Many people work but they do not report the money. If there really was 25 percent of the population with no work, there would be revolution in the streets, not just demonstrations."

Cloud computing with Amazon's Elastic Compute Cloud
Preparing and Uploading
Amazon provides two sets of tools. The first bundle of software you need is the AMI Tools package [4], which contains the tools for creating AMIs and uploading them to Amazon. The second is the EC2 command-line tools bundle [5], which performs more generic tasks, such as creating and controlling EC2 instances. To start, download both files and extract them into a directory. Although you can install these in a system directory (/usr/local for example), for this example, install in the home directory. With the files in place, set some environment variables. The EC2 software requires a couple of custom variables:
export EC2_HOME=~/ec2-api-tools/ export EC2_AMITOOL_HOME=~/ec2-ami-tools/
For more information on these variables, see the Readme file ec2-ami-tools/readme-install.txt.
Now, make sure JAVA_HOME is set, and add the EC2 directories to the PATH variable.
export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/cacao/jre/ export PATH=$PATH:ec2-api-tools/bin:ec2-ami-tools/bin
To check that everything is working, enter:
ec2-bundle-image --help
To use your Linux image, you need to bundle it, upload it to EC2, and register it. To bundle the image, use the ec2-bundle-image tool, which is provided by AMI tools:
ec2-bundle-image -i myimage.fs --cert ec2-keys/cert-XXX.pem --privatekey ec2-keys/pk-XXX.pem -u 1234-2345-1234
This takes your Linux image, splits it into several files, and creates a manifest file, which tells EC2 where your image is hosted in Amazon Simple Storage Services (S3) and how to use it. The split image files are created in /tmp/ by default – have a look once the ec2-bundle-image process is complete.
Next, upload the image with the ec2-upload-bundle tool, which takes all the files you just created on your local machine and uploads them to S3:
ec2-upload-bundle -b my-image \ -m /tmp/myimage.fs.manifest.xml -a access-key-here -s secret-key-here --ec2cert ~/test1518.pem
This might take some time, so make sure your terminal won't timeout while you're waiting (e.g., use screen). After the upload has completed, look in your S3 account and notice that the bucket named my-image contains the files that you created with ec2-bundle-image.
Your Linux image is now sitting on S3 with a manifest file.
Registering and using AMI
The last step is to register and use the Linux image:
ec2-register my-ubuntu-df/myimage.fs.manifest.xml -K ~/.ec2/pk-XXXX.pem -C ~/.ec2/cert-XXXX.pem
Note that ec2-register refers to the manifest file on S3, not on your local machine – hence, the path my-ubuntu-df/myimage.fs.manifest.xml. Also, you can register through ElasticFox by clicking the green plus icon in the AMI listing and entering the path to the manifest file.
To use the image, fire up ElasticFox, refresh the list of AMIs, and find your new AMI using the filter box to the top right of the AMI list. Create a new instance of the AMI, and there you have it: You're running your own Linux image on EC2 for US$ 0.10 an hour.
Once the instance is running, ssh onto it and play around. Very quickly you'll decide what software and content files you want on all your EC2 instances, and you can then push the files and programs into your AMI using the steps I took you through above.
If you think your image is really good, you can share it for free or charge others for the use of it through Amazon.
Playing in the Clouds
Like any new technology, cloud computing is fun to play with, but you'll like it even better if you can get some really good use out of it.
So, what is EC2 good for?
Cloud computing makes it easier to throw vast amounts of hardware at a problem without having to worry about the details of hosting, networking connectivity, cooling, or the boredom of 100 hosting contracts. This makes EC2 great for anything that requires lots of servers – processing millions of images, searching and cataloging tasks, and so on. Anything that can be done quicker by throwing more computing power at it can use EC2.
And because you can requisition servers on the fly, cloud computing is good for time-sensitive tasks, such as sending hundreds of items of email over lunch or preparing lots of video files while the user waits. Scaling on the fly means you don't have dozens of servers sitting around doing nothing (and costing you money).
The cloud is also suited to any service that might need to scale, but you don't know the number of end users – for example, social networks, intranets, extranets, or online applications. Also, you can use EC2 to test new server configurations, and you can use the cloud to test applications [6].
Cloud computing is set to change the way applications are built and deployed. Anything that is impossible now because you can't afford the servers becomes wonderfully possible – or at least much cheaper. Creating custom AMIs will allow you to get the most out of the service by launching EC2 instances fine-tuned for your particular applications. Building and uploading images can take time, but once you have them, it is easy to tweak the images to contain exactly what your applications need and no more.
And once you can create 1,000 copies of your application, you can stop worrying about those server loads.

|Key Rules for Design for Excellence
|Written by Arbel Nissan
|Monday, 30 April 2012 18:29
Most product cost is determined in design, before it ever reaches production.
OEMs constantly seek ways to cut product cost and time-to-market. The advantages of a shorter time-to-market and lower costs of an end-product are evident: market attraction improves, lifecycle extends, development cost reduces, etc. This is far from a trivial mission, and different managers look for different ways to achieve these objectives. One strategic path leading to attaining these objectives is DfX methodology. DfX (Design for Excellence) is an efficient tool with a proven record of accomplishment with which we can ensure proper execution of electronics products the first time.
