Should I just do day tours from Dublin?
I'm travelling Ireland for about 2 weeks,(Still planning my itinerary) and so far when I type in the places I would like to visit Example: Ring of kerry, I see a lot of day tours leaving from Dublin at pretty decent prices. I look into maybe staying in Killarney and traveling farther than Dublin, but despite Killarney being closer, the tour isn't actually cheaper. So far I seem to be encouraged to just stay in Dublin and take a bunch of day tours? But I don't really want to stay in one city my whole trip.. But I am traveling to Ireland without the intention of renting a car. The tours save me the expenses of bus fare. Is there a better way of doing this? I appreciate any advice anyone can offer. I will be in Ireland starting September first
1 Answer
I would choose a day tour of the Ring of Kerry from Killarney. Traveling to the Ring from Dublin for a day tour will put you in the highway for a significant part of the trip. That means they'll have to cut many of the sites and stops along the Ring.
Dublin is great for day tours to Wicklow, Glendalough, Newgrange, Kildare. Killarney is the gateway to the Ring of Kerry. Galway is great for Connemara and Clare/Cliffs of Moher.
I realize you posted this a while back, so my apologies for not seeing your question sooner. over 4 years agoAnswered by Irish Fireside Corey via WorldNomads.com

R nineT Scrambler
Honest. Untamed. Air-cooled.
Feel the wind, lean into every curve and experience the freedom in every meter you ride – the BMW R nineT Scrambler empowers you to do your own thing. Tough, unconventional, and against established standards, it goes wherever you want. Made for true characters who want their bike to be pure, minimalistic and break all the rules.
See, hear, feel.
The unique sound of the R nineT Scrambler is a real attention grabber. The classic 1200 ccm boxer engine and its high-positioned dual silencer give the bike powerful propulsion and ensure that its voice is heard.
Compared to the R nineT, the handlebars are placed higher and the comfortable seat is repositioned. That ensures a confident but relaxed sitting position for every rider. In combination with the slightly longer spring travel, you'll overcome any rough spots with ease.
No limits.
Offroad tyres, a high-positioned exhaust system, typical pair of bellows and a relaxed, upright sitting position – even at a first glance, you'll see that with the typical Scrambler design no tour has to end where the street does. The 19 inch front wheel, the analogue tachometer, a purist steel tank in Stereo metallic matt and other unique details turn the Scrambler into a high-quality classic. And with just a few steps you can give the R nineT Scrambler your own individual touch.
Another visual highlight is the seat bench in a leather look. It is impermeable with a high level of workmanship, focusing on the authentic surface and design. Therefore, wearing clothing, such as dark washed jeans, can lead to staining of the seat bench. Discolorations and visual effects of this kind as patina are welcomed and not considered defects.
Typical Scrambler. Typical BMW Motorrad. The R nineT Scrambler is at the highest level in matters of safety, reliability and quality. Standard ABS and ASC ensure your safety.
Riding without rules. Make your statement with the R nineT Scrambler.

This Day in History – October 31st, 1940
The Battle of Britain (German: Luftschlacht um England, literally "Air battle for England") is the name given to the Second World War air campaign waged by the German Air Force (Luftwaffe) against the United Kingdom during the summer and finally ended on October 31st, 1940. The Battle of Britain was the first major campaign to be fought entirely by air forces, and was also the largest and most sustained aerial bombing campaign to that date.
The German objective was to gain air superiority over the Royal Air Force (RAF), especially Fighter Command. From July 1940, coastal shipping convoys and shipping centers, such as Portsmouth, were the main targets; one month later, the Luftwaffe shifted its attacks to RAF airfields and infrastructure. As the battle progressed, the Luftwaffe also targeted aircraft factories and ground infrastructure. Eventually the Luftwaffe resorted to attacking areas of political significance and using terror bombing strategy.
By preventing Germany from gaining air superiority, the British forced Hitler to postpone (and eventually cancel) Operation Sea Lion, an amphibious and airborne invasion of Britain. However, Germany continued bombing operations on Britain, known as The Blitz. The failure of Germany to achieve its objectives of destroying Britain's air defenses, or forcing Britain to negotiate an armistice or even an outright surrender, is considered its first major defeat and a crucial turning point in the Second World War.
The Battle of Britain has an unusual distinction in that it gained its name prior to being fought. The name is derived from a famous speech delivered by Prime Minister Winston Churchill in the House of Commons more than three weeks prior to the generally accepted date for the start of the battle, "What General Weygand has called Battle of France is over . . . the Battle of Britain is about to begin."

There is a plethora of screen capture utilities out there, and there's only so much these programs can do to differentiate themselves from one another. Moo0 ScreenShot is one more among many, neither particularly impressive nor disappointing. If you're looking for a basic screenshot program, it's certainly worth checking out.
The program's interface is plain and intuitive, with a drop-down menu that allows you to choose whether you want to save your screenshot as a JPeG, BMP, GIF, PNG, or ICO file. You select the location where you want to save the captured image and then press a button to capture the entire screen, a particular window, or part of a window. It wasn't entirely clear how this last option worked--what constitutes part of a window?--but it seems that this option can automatically capture an area that's surrounded by another color. In other words, it's good at picking out images, which makes it a nice choice for capturing images that are right-click disabled. Moo0 ScreenShot doesn't allow you to drag a rectangle around the area you want to capture, and that may be a drawback for those who like a lot of control over screen captures. But if you don't mind the possibility of having to do some cropping after the fact, Moo0 ScreenShot works just fine. The program loses points for not having a Help file, but its features are so basic that this isn't really a significant drawback.
Moo0 ScreenShot installs politely but leaves a folder and Start menu icon behind upon removal. We recommend this program.

You stay classy, Palo Alto.Monday, November 26th, 2007
Crooked refs. Awful field conditions. An obnoxious stadium announcer. A dreadful marching band whose absurd antics amuse no one but themselves and their similarly drunk friends. A beautiful new facility gone to waste as one of America's most esteemed universities presents a gameday experience matched only by the ineptitude of their football program. That's right - another day, another dollar, another road trip to Stanford.
A few thoughts about the trip in general: as I said, the new Stanford stadium really is very nice. We had endzone seats in the upper tier, but the view was great - and right up above us there was a big grassy area where kids could play, and so my son really managed to enjoy himself. That's why it's such a shame that the other elements of gameday at Stanford are so embarrassingly horrible: at least when you used to go, you sat on splintered wooden benches in a dumpy stadium, so the rest of what was going on around you didn't seem so bad.
And it was awful. The parking crew exercised no control over tailgaters taking up spaces the width of four cars to spread out their folding chairs, and the only way they managed to determine whether a lot was full was by directing a line of cars into it, having them drive around for ten minutes, and seeing whether they came out the other side. The pre-game "festivities" featured a mediocre cover band playing bad rock-and-roll, and then deciding to abandon their break so that they could drown out ND's alumni marching band. The stadium announcer showed himself to be as classless as he was annoying when he twice referred to Jimmy Clausen as "Casey," and also pretended to get him mixed up with Tom Zbikowski at one point. And the band - oh, the band. I understand that they're having fun, but the stupid halftime shows really do nothing at all for the fans. No wonder the stadium was half-empty. Honestly, we felt embarrassed for Stanford University at any number of different junctures on Saturday afternoon.
Speaking of which, there was a football game as well:
- Jimmy Clausen played very well - he completed
1920 of his 32 passes for 196225 yards and a touchdown. He also made some really nice moves to get away from would-be tacklers, though on some occasions he ran out of bounds for lost yardage instead of throwing the ball away. His downfield throws were a bit uneven, and the one play on which he was intercepted was a really bad decision. Altogether, though, it was a solid day for a true freshman quarterback who showed some nice improvement over the course of the year - now it's time for him to hit the weight room, practice those deep routes, and soak up the rest of the playbook.
- Duval Kamara - six receptions for 93 yards - had a really nice day catching the ball. It's clear that he's a tremendous talent, and there's little doubt that he'll be the #1 receiver on the team next year: the challenge is figuring out who else is going to catch it. George West was as invisible on Saturday as he has been for most of the season, Robby Parris saw the field sparingly, and David Grimes showed why he's best suited to be a third option rather than a featured guy. Hopefully Will Yeatman and Mike Ragone have got the stuff to help replace John Carlson next year; I'd also look to see Michael Floyd see the field early and often, much as Kamara did this year.
- Robert Hughes - 18 carries for 136 yards - had a spectacular game, as he became the first Notre Dame freshman to pass the century mark twice in a season since Autry Denson did it in back-to-back games in 1995. He could use a bit more speed, though, as both of his long carries really should have gone for scores. Armando Allen started off well, as he picked up 18 yards on his first three carries, but after that he started going backwards, and while the banged-up James Aldridge did manage to get into the game, he didn't end up touching the ball. Asaph Schwapp had another dreadful day, as he gained only four yards on his three carries, fumbled the ball once, and did a less-than-stellar job of blocking. I really have trouble seeing why Charlie Weis bothers putting him on the field. Kudos to Travis Thomas, who made the most of what was (thankfully!) his last stand as a goalline back by punching his one carry into the end zone from a yard out, and to Junior Jabbie, who's shaping up into a great situational back for third-down passing situations.
- Once again, we saw a lot of Chris Stewart on the offensive line, as he pretty much switched off series-by-series with Paul Duncan at right tackle. And once again, the play along the offensive line, and in pass protection in particular, was pretty terrible: Clausen was sacked on five occasions and pressured pretty heavily on many others, and while the running game was effective, the Irish running backs netted only 3.15 yards per carry if we factor out Hughes's two huge runs.
- The defense played quite well, and in particular they did a much better job at containing the outside run than they had in weeks past. Ian Williams had six tackles in his second start at the nose guard position, and made a strong case for some heavy playing time or even a starting role next year. Darrin Walls got turned around on one or two plays but had a great game overall, Brian Smith played a nice game on the outside, and David Bruton was his usual athletic self. But missed tackles were still a significant problem, as was fatigue - Stanford possessed the ball for over 21 minutes in the second half, and you could see the Irish defenders tiring out.
At the end of the day, a win is a win, no matter how bad the opponent (and the venue). The Irish came out strong, played with emotion, and rebounded nicely from the things that set them back. But many of those back-setting things - in particular the three fumbles and the five sacks - were exactly the sorts of problems that have killed this squad all year long. A team that puts the ball on the carpet, and allows its opponents to do the same to their quarterback, with that kind of frequency is not a team that's going to win many games. Maybe experience will cure all - but only time will tell.
Obviously there's a lot to think about as we head from the season of our discontent to what will hopefully be the the looooongest offseason - 285 days to go! - the Fighting Irish will have to endure for quite some time. I'll have plenty of "bigger picture"-type of thoughts in the days and weeks ahead. In the meantime, here's to West Virginia and Mizzou in the MNC game!

TSA Wants to Purchase 3.5 Million Rounds of .357 Sig and Lease a NJ Shooting Range…
Guns Save Lives is not supported by ads and is ran as an independent project. If you support this project please consider supporting us on Patreon. Registration takes just a moment and even $1 is a massive help in continuing our work. Thank you so much.
As if having DHS, DEA, ATF, FBI, and your state/local law enforcement officers armed to the teeth isn't enough, now the TSA wants in on the action.
According to an FBO.gov request, the TSA is seeking to lease time on a range "within 20 miles of New York LaGuardia Airport without crossing a bridge and/or incurring a toll."
Well at least they are looking out for taxpayers to make sure government agents aren't paying a toll…to the government…anyway, moving along.
According to the request, the estimated number of rounds fired at the range will be 490,200 per year. That number goes along nicely with the next number we're going to look at.
According to another request, the TSA is looking to secure 3.5 million rounds of .357 Sig training ammunition. Sorry, that's an exaggeration, it's actually 3.454 million rounds.
One could easily imagine the TSA establishing a west coast training deport in addition to the one in the Northeast. If that happened you could easily imagine 1 million rounds per year being fired.
In 2012, just 11 years after being established, the TSA had an estimated budget of $7.6 billion (with a b). The TSA is currently under control of the DHS, which raised its own eyebrows with ammo purchases over the last few months, with multi-year contracts including billions (still with a b) of rounds over a multi-year period.
According to Red Flag,
The federal agency's huge bullet buy could signal an expansion of its controversial Visible Intermodal Prevention and Response (VIPR) program, where teams of armed TSA officers patrol railroad stations, bus stations, ferries, car tunnels, ports, subways, truck weigh stations, rest areas, and special events.
VIPR teams currently conduct around 8,000 operations a year. As well as providing security at transport hubs, VIPR teams are now being used to keep tabs on fans at sporting events.


text: Report: MySpace a drag on social media 11:17 AM PDT 5/13/2009 by Mike Shields, MediaWeek , AP FACEBOOK TWITTER EMAIL ME Online ad business suffering across the board Newly installed MySpace CEO Owen Van Natta has got his work cut out for him, as MySpace's advertising outlook is so poor that it is now dragging down the once scorching-hot social networking category. According to a new report issued by eMarketer, U.S. ad spending on social networking sites is expected to skid by 3% in 2009 to $1.14 billion, primarily due to "problems at MySpace." And while the online ad business is suffering across the board, and spending declines are becoming the norm, the anticipated decline in spending on social nets is stunning considering the meteoric rises in spending and usage of the past few years. eMarketer tracked revenue gains of 33% in 2008 and a whopping 129% in 2007 for the category. But clearly, momentum for social networking advertising has plummeted in the past year -- despite the mass adoption of sites like Facebook and MySpace. eMarketer had already revised its growth predictions downward for the segment at least twice in 2008. Back in December, when the researcher lowered its 2008 ad spending estimates for both Facebook and MySpace (which account for the lion's share of dollars in the category) -- it also cited MySpace's ad challenges as a key factor in the slowdown. In December's revised forecast, eMarketer put MySpace's 2009 revenue at $630 million; now the company predicts spending will only reach $495 million, which would represent a 15% decline versus 2008. That anticipated decline appears to correlate with data that parent company News Corp. provided in its recent earnings statement. In the first quarter of this year ad revenue for Interactive Media, which includes MySpace, slid by 16%. The story is more positive for MySpace's rival Facebook, although that company brings in roughly half the revenue that MySpace does. According to eMarketer, Facebook's U.S. Ad revenue should climb by a health 9.5% this year to $230 million. Spending on other social networks is predicted to increase by just 1.5% to $345 million, though the market for advertising on social networking widgets has demonstrated robust growth, said the report. The reasons for MySpace, and the category's overall struggles, have been well documented. Marketers remain wary of user generated content. Most major social networking sites generate more inventory that they can sell. Users are less inclined to click on ads in social networking environments (according to a recent report issued by the market research firm IDC). And lately, according to eMarketer more and more brands are tapping these sites for marketing or public relations efforts that do not incorporate paid advertising. Last month, former Facebook executive Van Natta was installed as MySpace's new CEO, replacing the site's co-founder Chris DeWolfe. The change in leadership was spearheaded by News Corp.'s CEO of Digital Media and chief digital officer Jonathan Miller, who took over the company's digital operations in March.

Interiors: take a tour of a stylish Cromer cottage
PUBLISHED: 12:07 16 January 2018 | UPDATED: 12:07 16 January 2018
Tony Hall takes us around a cottage in one of his favourite Norfolk places
Who can resist the seafood in Cromer? Cockles, the famous crabs, lobsters, fish and chips; for me as a fish eater, Cromer is bliss and one of my favourite places. Now there's a super new cottage, centrally located, for people looking to stay in this 'Gem of the Norfolk Coast.'
It is owned by Penny and Mike Jones. Penny will be well-known to many as she was one of the driving forces of Norfolk Hideaways, helping establish what was then a new cottage holiday agency back in 2009.
Penny decided to leave and concentrate on the couple's own holiday properties situated in the historic village of Overstrand and Crabpot Cottages was born. They then decided to branch out into Cromer, and found Cockle Cottage.
"My father," explains Penny, "comes from Shetland. Living there one had to be very self-sufficient, resourceful, very hands-on, which is what he taught me. With all the properties I have done a lot of the work myself and this one was no exception, although I do need professionals to help reinstate. Here the cottage needed everything new, including central heating, kitchen and bathroom."
Cockle Cottage is a single-storey detached part of the old Victorian board school right in the heart of old Cromer, two minutes from the shops and four minutes from the sea front. In 1947 it was three schools in one, infants, boy, girls and remained as such till the early 1990s when it was relocated and the site sold to a developer. It was converted into dwellings, retaining many original features and offering the added bonus of car parking.
"What attracted me to this property," adds Penny, "was it being a detached period building, in a lovely position, so central but a peaceful oasis.
"Property has always been in my blood. Together with my first husband, we renovated a derelict cottage at Grimston and formed a full-time property development company, which we both enjoyed. We lived there many years, while the children were growing up," says Penny. "We then built our own house at Great Massingham which we oversaw and project-managed ourselves. I am never happier than when I am in my boiler suit, wielding a sledge hammer. I love going into a run-down house and imagining it as a finished result.
"I first met Mike when I was doing up a 1930s house in Hunstanton," continues Penny. "He walked in and looked in horror as the neat little house he had viewed now had no ceilings, kitchen or bathroom. Wires were all hanging down and half the roof was off to accommodate a new dormer window. I was in the ubiquitous boiler suit and had an inch of dust in my hair. He did ask me if I knew what I was doing, but I don't remember my reply!
"When it came to building the portfolio of holiday properties," explains Penny, "I have always loved Cromer, where you can access the sea easily. Beautiful beaches, a wonderful pier, great shops and people. I therefore decided to concentrate along this end of the coast and now have holiday rental properties from Overstrand, where we have our own bolthole, to Cley. I want to keep the company small, so intend to limit the number of homes, hand-picking properties we feel reflect our business ethos.
"With Cockle Cottage my favourite room is the sitting room, which is bright and sunny and overlooks the courtyard garden. It has a very relaxing feel. My favourite item at Cockle has to be the Meredew 1950s sideboard, which is a piece I feel sums up the place; very relaxed. A frequent walk we enjoy is along the cliffs and golf course from Overstrand to Cromer, just watching the ever-changing Norfolk skies and sea. A favourite day out, by total contrast, is to Norwich where my son lives. We enjoy going around The Lanes and maybe ending up at the best Indian restaurant around, the Merchants of Spice.
"Locally we enjoy The Gunton Arms pub, set in a deer park. It has great food and ambience with fantastic art on the walls. When I get time I like to write short stories and poems and I also love photography. Together with Mike I try and play golf both here in Cromer and at Hunstanton."
"So much do we love Cromer," concludes Penny, "that when Mike and I tied the knot and got married we had the ceremony at North Lodge Park, the house overlooking the Henry Blogg memorial and sea, before walking down to reception at our favourite restaurant, The Rocket House, overlooking the fishing boats, sea and beach; just amazing.
"Cromer is having a definite renaissance and people are realising just how much is on offer here for the perfect seaside holiday, including the now famous End of the Pier Summer Show in The Pavilion Theatre. There are things to do throughout the year in this super county and Cromer has it all."
Cockle Cottage, Cromer, can be booked for holiday lets. Contact: Penny or Mike on 01263 579435, 07771 643 359

Favourite interiors shop: Ciclic in Swaffham. Lots of different things for interiors and of course Sara Holt as above.
Favourite shop: In Cromer it has to be The Farm Shop in Tucker Street, by the church.

Also we like the hardware shop in Cromer High Street. and in Overstrand the village stores.
Favourite part of the county: Besides Cromer of course, it has to be Overstrand. Lots of history and quite beautiful, with two houses by Edwin Lutyens. Every house tells a story and there's a great beach.

Most memorable Norfolk moment: My most memorable moment in Norfolk was getting married at North Lodge Park Cromer this year, overlooking the grey stormy boiling sea, right in front of the Henry Blogg statue. We went outside in a howling gale after we got married and had our photo taken, rubbing his nose for good luck!

NEW! Little Book of Germs
A collection of traditional eighteenth and nineteenth century weaving drafts, written sequences of the threading order on the loom used to create specific patterns. They are presented here in their original form as gathered by Frances L. Goodrich and illustrated in over 160 color photos. This volume also contains over 200 valuable modern translations of the same drafts for use by today's weavers. In 1890, Frances L. Goodrich came to the southern mountains in North Carolina from a life of culture to live and work among people who had little opportunity for education or social enrichment. Through her work for the Presbyterian Home Mission Board, she grew to love and respect these neighbors who worked so hard and had so little. She established schools, a small hospital, and the Allanstand Cottage Industries. As she traveled the mountain roads and trails on horseback, Miss Goodrich collected these precious weaving drafts from the women who wove for Allanstand Cottage Industries. In your hands is the heart of that collection.
Size: 12″ x 9″ | 169 color & 208 b/w photos | 192 pp
ISBN13: 9780764345418 | Binding: hard cover
Barbara Miller's personal quest for excellence in each woven piece is rooted in traditional weaving techniques and patterns. A collection of her handwoven fabrics is displayed in public and private collections and worn as wearable art by those who seek natural fibers and quality fabrics.

Looking to add a dramatic hardwood floor to your home or office in Winston Salem? Cherry hardwood offers a brilliant variation in tone with dramatic beauty. As cherry flooring is fairly soft, it is often placed in less-trafficked areas of a home or office in Winston Salem. Due to the nature of this type of wood, it is also known to darken in color as it ages, providing a rich appearance to any room.
Cherry hardwood shades can vary from rich red to reddish brown, exuding both dark and bright, rich elegance. The most popular species are Asian and Brazilian cherry varieties.
Cherry Hardwood Advantages
Low Maintenance – If you are concerned about the maintenance of cleaning your home in Winston Salem, cherry flooring may be a perfect choice as a quick broom and dust mop are all that is needed to maintain this type of flooring.

Cost-effective – Though cherry flooring is often categorized as exotic flooring, it is also known to be cost-effective, requiring low regular maintenance.
Cherry Hardwood Disadvantages
Sunlight Damage – To maintain the elegant look of your floors in Winston Salem, cherry hardwood should be kept out of direct, repeated sunlight. The rich colors that this type of flooring is known for can fade over time, so careful preservation is advised.

Brewing up a success
Posted on July 01 2013 at 10:35:44 0 comments
Beer-lovers in the Bromsgrove area will already be familiar with the tasty tipples from Bird's Brewery – but did you know that the beers are on sale in their very own shop as well as in local pubs?
The shop, located on the brewery site on Old Burcot Lane, is doing a roaring trade with those keen to enjoy Bird's beer in their own homes, and customers can also buy a host of other local produce such as cider and perry, pickles, chutneys and sauces, honey, ice cream and even burgers.
Bird's, which started brewing in August 2009 and opened the shop in October 2012, was initially formed in order to supply the pubs owned by its sister company – but the brews proved so successful that they were soon snapped up by local hostelries like The Ladybird in Aston Fields, The Cross at Finstall and The Dodford Inn.
There are seven regular beers – Amnesia, Apocalypse, Serendipity, Eureka, Natural Blonde, Thunderbird and Black Widow Stout – all of which are available to buy in bottles.
Then there are the seasonal brews such as Summer Daze, Hocus Pocus, Chest Warmer, Sleighed, and the brilliantly-named Santa Claustrophobia – and Bird's also created Mild High Club to mark CAMRA's Mild Month this May.
In celebration of the government's recent decision to scrap the "beer duty escalator' and reduce the cost of a pint by 1p, Bird's brewed a special beer named Sajid's Choice after the Bromsgrove MP.
Three barrels were sent to the Strangers' Bar in the House of Commons, where they sold out in just two days.
Meanwhile, Serendipity was entered in the Sainsbury's Great British Beer Hunt – it won in its regional section and will be on sale nationally in Sainsbury's in September.
If it proves popular, it could become a permanent fixture.
If you're planning a summer party or BBQ, it's worth knowing that the Bird's shop offers a five-litre mini keg, a 35-pint bag-in-box or a 72-pint firkin – perfect for introducing your friends to the best of Bromsgrove beer.
Bird's Brewery, Ladybird Barn, Old Burcot Lane, Bromsgrove B60 1PH

Four Wheel Pop-Up Camper Hawk Model
Camping trailers can be really expensive, but there is an alternative way to camp out on wheels. Pop-up campers, for instance, can be placed on top of pick-up trucks, converting your vehicle into a mobile trailer for a fraction of a price of traditional trailers.
Four Wheel is one of the most popular pop-up camper companies with its variety of sizes and features that are affordable to most mobile campers. The Hawk is one of its most popular models as it is built to fit most truck sizes, all while wider than many of Four Wheel's models. It also comes packed with the comforts of outdoor living, such as a sink, stove, refrigerator, a couch that doubles as a slide out bed, and an optional porta potti.
The Hawk is lightweight, with its base model tipping the scale at just 735 pounds. Its low profile design makes the thickness of the cab-over at only 10 inches while in down position. When popped up, the head room measures 6 feet 6 inches. This camper can accommodate up to four adults.
Campers love the strength of The Hawk, as its patented Easy-Lift roof system can carry up to 1,000 pounds of snow while in the up position. The all-welded aluminum flex frame can withstand the toughest off-road driving conditions.
If there is one complaint about The Hawk model, that would be the lack of an indoor shower option. There is, however, an outdoor shower package.

So, you have probably noticed there were no comics last week, and the week before there were only a few.
I am not giving up on comics, but I do need to cut down on the number I am doing for now, because I have to take time to do my homework for class, and also, I need to spend more time preparing for MoCCA, because I WILL have a table. If you are going to be in NYC on April 10 or 11, you should stop by and see me! After then, I will try and figure out the right schedule for comics. I think it will be three days a week.
I am super excited about this whole thing. But I need to do a lot of work to get ready. I am crocheting hats, and working on minicomics. shinyredtype and I are working on an awesome little project for it.
If you offered to send something for the charity raffle– or if this is the first time you're hearing about it– please contact me privately and I'll work this out with you. You have about a month to send things.
One thing I need to do is make a business card! I've never made business cards before. Here is my first shot at one:
What do you all think? I deliberately didn't include my phone number, as I prefer working via email and I don't want to give my phone number out to crazies. Also, I like the idea of putting "cute stuff" as opposed to a specific jobby-job because I do so many things, and cute is probably the best unifying term. Suggestions, advice? Let me know what you think!

In Australia, the value of wood and wood products in 2001-2002 was US$5 billion/yr. About 164 million ha are classified as forest, with 1% as plantation forests and 7% available for timber production in state-managed, multiple-use native forests (BRS, 2003). New Zealand's indigenous forests cover 6.4 million ha, with 1.7 million ha of planted production exotic forests, the latter providing substantial export income (MAF, 2001). Research since the TAR confirms that climate change is likely to have both positive and negative impacts on forestry in both countries. Productivity of exotic softwood and native hardwood plantations is likely to be increased by CO2 fertilisation effects, although the amount of increase will be limited by projected increases in temperature, reductions in rainfall and by feedbacks such as nutrient cycling (Howden et al., 1999c; Kirschbaum, 1999a, b).
Where trees are not water-limited, warming expands the growing season in southern Australia, but pest damage is likely to negate some gains (see Section 5.4.5). Reduction in average runoff in some regions (see Section 11.4.1) and increased fire risk (see Section 11.3.1) are very likely to reduce productivity, whilst increased rainfall intensity is likely to exacerbate soil erosion problems and pollution of streams during forestry operations (Howden et al., 1999c). In Pinus radiata and Eucalyptus plantations, fertile sites are likely to have increased productivity for moderate warming, whereas infertile sites are likely to have decreased production (Howden et al., 1999c).
In New Zealand, the growth rates for plantation forestry (mainly P. radiata) are likely to increase in response to elevated CO2 and wetter conditions in the south and west. Studies of pine seedlings confirm that the growth and wood density of P. radiata are enhanced during the first two years of artificial CO2 fertilisation (Atwell et al., 2003). Tree growth reductions are likely for the east of the North Island due to projected rainfall decreases and increased fire risk (see Section 11.3.1). However, uncertainties remain regarding increased water-use efficiency with elevated CO2 (MfE, 2001), and whether warmer and drier conditions could increase the frequency of upper mid-crown yellowing and winter fungal diseases (MfE, 2001).

This is a bit of a subjective question, but I want to run it by everyone here:
I've been thinking of building a basic linux server that would consist of one or more internal hard drives and then multiple external USB/eSATA drives on a rotating offsite backup schedule.
When I think server storage, the first thing I think is going with a RAID solution. But these days, I'm looking around at the storage sizes of individual disks and I'm questioning if RAID is even really necessary anymore.
To me, different raid configurations can give the following advantages:
- Drives raided together to appear as one huge volume
- Striped drives for increased read/write speed
- Data Redundancy
And now, the reasons I feel like raid isn't really necessary for me
- I can get individual 1.5+ TB drives, which is big enough for me for now
- I don't need amazing read/write speed on a server that is not accessed constantly by many people
- I have enough rotating data backup solutions for my server that the raid data redundancy doesn't seem necessary
I just want to run this by the SF crowd to make sure I'm not missing something obvious. It just doesn't seem like its necessary for a basic server and if anything it seems like it would be just another thing to deal with. Any opinions?

how do bloggers make money?
So you want to know the secret? How bloggers make money online, it seems all very elusive to you right now? Maybe you're a beginner and you want to get started in the world blogging but you don't know where to start or how it's profitable. Well I'm going to let you in on the few different ways that bloggers make money and I'll let you know about the business model that I stumbled upon accident while building my own blog. I studied it for years now and really learned about the tips and tricks for blogging and earning money from it and also earning money from blogging & vlogging. I'll give down low on it all. Do you know I'm serious? This is a big business for the future and the reason why I'm so passionate about teaching the secret to you is because I really believe that more people will be able to become location dependent in the future. The wave of digital nomad and the at home solo entrepreneur has boomed these past few years. I believe it's because people are waking up and really understanding how technology can make them money. Everyone is jumping on the digital wave and if you're smart you jump on that digital wave too. So these are the top tips and tricks of how to make money from your blog.
Sponsored ads one of the biggest and most known ways that bloggers earn money. Basically this is when you contact a company or a company contact you and they send you a product or a service to promote on your platform in exchange for money they do this because they want to leverage your follower count. Sponsored ads works in the way that you give them exposure so more people know about their Brand and also you give them sometimes sales with a special discount code that they might provide for you. it's very simple to do this all you have to do is make sure you have at least 1000 followers on one platform I know it sounds difficult but it's not as hard as it sounds once you have 1000 followers you can start monetizing. this could be in the form of a 1000 Instagram followers or 1000 YouTube subscribers or 1000 on your email list. I'm sure you understand what I'm trying to tell you. company interested in using influencer marketing because followers and viewers trust influencers more than the typical advert and adverts are not being effective as influences. Also don't think just because you've got a small following and you haven't got thousands or millions of followers doesn't mean you can't monetize from your audience. Monetizing from you audience it's very easy because companies are now turning to micro-influencers. The micro influencers are people who have a small following of a 1000+ but they can have more of an impact as there audience is more engaged. just because you've got millions and thousands of followers does that mean that they are always engaged with you the companies are still interested in working with the smaller blogs and YouTubers because they understand this. So don't be afraid to pitch yourself to a company tell them your stats and what you can offer maybe you've got really great presentational skills or really high edited images that they could use on their website as well a lot of companies will be happy to pay you for your services. The easiest way is for you to create a media kit so that you can have it ready for when a company approaches you or when you want to approach a company and pitch yourself. If you don't know how to create a media kit yet don't worry I'm going to have a detailed post up and a video.
Another famous way to earn money through blogging is affiliate marketing I'm sure you've heard many different gurus praise this method. Basically it works in a way that you promote a brand products on your blog for example if you had a fashion post and your wearing a jacket you could put an affiliate link in your blog post every time someone clicks on that link and buys that jacket that you're wearing you would earn a small commission. From each person who purchases from your affiliate links and if you've got thousands of people visiting your site you potentially could learn quite a lot from affiliate marketing. But I always say that this way is not the best way personally, because firstly if your a small blogger you're not going to make a lot of money this way as he won't have enough people visiting your website to get the commissions. The second reason is if you are a big enough blogger to you learn a good amount doing affiliate marketing Sorry to break it to you but you're wasting your time selling someone else's products when you could be selling your own products. If you're big enough to sell other people's products then you should be focusing that time and energy into promoting your own brand and sell something of your own, think big!
The next way to earn money from your blog I like to call it the new age way not the old way not the hard way but the new way. This way you should make your own products to sell. If you've got a big presence online you can start selling your own products like print on demand fashion, E-books, digital downloads, start an etsy shop selling your art if your crafty sell them as digital prints and other digital services.
If you're looking for a get rich quick schemes in this isn't it. It takes hard work but if your willing you can make it work!!!
until next time

TELSTRA Mobile has certified Symbol Technologies ' ruggedised Pocket PC handhelds for use on its GPRS network.
Telstra Mobile launched its GPRS or General Packet Radio Switching, network in March 2001 as an overlay to its GSM digital mobile network.
Telstra certified the Australian-developed Symbol GPRS product after passing stringent network testing.
Australian businesses can now enjoy the competitive advantage of using Symbol's workforce computers on Telstra's GPRS network.
The products are also in the final stages of carrier certification with Australia's other GPRS networks (Optus and Vodafone).
This means users will not be locked into a particular carrier for their industrial voice and data requirements.
Symbol Technologies general manager Cal Anderson said the development of the products by Symbol's Australian R&D team gave local businesses an opportunity to gain a competitive edge through GPRS.
"The GPRS Pocket PC is for businesses that depend on accurate and efficient collection, transmission and processing of data. Its market is businesses who understand the importance of field-force productivity," he said.
"Because GPRS sends data in self-contained packets, users are charged only for the amount of data sent and not for the period of connection time.
"The GPRS Pocket PC is for businesses that depend on accurate and efficient collection, transmission and processing of data. Its market is businesses who understand the importance of field-force productivity."
With expected data speeds of 30kbps into the terminal and 10kbps out, Symbol's GPRS solution will meet the needs of most industrial applications. Workers can be always connected, without the prohibitive costs of a standard mobile connection.
GPRS Pocket PC handhelds combine ruggedisation with WAN capabilities. The handhelds are IP54 rated and can withstand windblown dust, rain and 1.2 metre drops to concrete. WAN capabilities for data are on GPRS, GSM and SMS with GSM for WAN voice.
The PPT 2837 is a streamlined pen-based configuration while the PDT 8137, also pen-based, offers multiple keyboard options.
Both feature the Intel StrongARM processor operating at 206 MHz and a rechargeable, extended-use lithium-ion battery. Both are fully compatible with Microsoft SDK for Pocket PCs with a Symbol API available to support barcode scanning.
Integrated miniature scan engine, conveniently placed scan triggers and ergonomic design enable simple one-handed data capture. High resolution VGA display with responsive touch-screen and backlit keyboard further enhance ease-of-use.

At one time or another during your lifetime it is likely that you will need a lawyer for a legal matter. When you need an attorney it is important to know what type will be needed. Lawyers are not generic, they have specific areas of the law in which they are an expert and have experience. They choose one area of the law to concentrate on and then continue their studies in that practice area in order to provide the best representation for their clients. The type of lawyer that is needed will depend solely on the types of legal matter is being handled. Here are just a few of the most commonly needed types of lawyer.
A family law attorney will be needed for handling matters which have to do with family or relations. They will know how the proper procedures in your particular state for filing and obtaining a divorce. A family law expert will know how to handle all the matters that may come up in a divorce such as property division, child support, alimony, and visitation schedules. Family law may also pertain to areas such as domestic relations, juvenile law, grandparent rights, paternity and adoption. They will basically be able to handle any legal matter that is presented within a family unit.
An employment lawyer will be able to handle any legality pertaining to employment. Anything that goes wrong on the job is within the scope of their practice. This includes matters such as discrimination, wrongful termination, harassment, and violations of any fair labor laws. They can assist in any aspect of employment
The medical malpractice lawyer can assist someone who has suffered damages due to an error by a physician. When a medical doctor treats an individual improperly or neglects to take proper action resulting in damage to the person they can use a medical malpractice lawyer to receive compensation for those damages. This is much more common than we think. A surgeon may amputate the wrong limb or operate on the wrong side of the body having damaging effects. The victim can receive compensation in these cases when they use a medical malpractice attorney.
When an accident occurs and a personal injury is suffered, a personal injury attorney can provide representation. A personal injury lawyer can provide legal counsel or representation in cases when a person is injured either physically or psychologically as the result of a negligent action by another person, government agency, company or other type of entity. This type of attorney has an understanding of "tort law" which is inclusive of civil wrongs, non-economic or economic damages to an individual, their property, rights or reputation. This can include injuries such as occur in accidents at work, in automobiles, through the use of defective products, slip and fall accidents and lots more. Most personal injury lawsuits are settled out of court instead of going to trial.
An attorney who deals with business law must have knowledge in a wide variety of areas. They can assist clients with contracts, securities law, antitrust, commercial paper, pensions and benefits, intellectual property and secured transactions. The attorney can provide assistance to business owners who need to pursue business planning such as identifying resources, stating goals and strategies. A business lawyer can help provide counsel on the many different roadblocks an entrepreneur might encounter. They can also assist the business in obtaining any pertinent licenses or permits or any filing articles of incorporation that may need to be accomplished. The business attorney can help a business person with any of the legal aspects of setting up and operating a business.

A top army officer of Thailand, Lt General Manas Khongpaen, has turned himself in days after a Thai provincial court allowed police to arrest him over his alleged involvement in trafficking of Rohingyas and other boatpeople, The Guardian reports.
Surrender of Manas, who is facing multiple charges including human trafficking, detention and ransom, marks the first arrest of a military official since start of investigation in May in the Southeast Asia human trafficking disaster, according to the British newspaper.
Over 50 people, including several local politicians and officials, were arrested after the discovery of dozens of bodies believed to be those of Burmese Rohingya migrants at the abandoned trafficking camps near the Thai-Malaysian border.
Manas denied the charges, National police chief General Somyot Poompanmoung said today.
Before Manas's arrest warrant was issued this week the army chief had denied the military's involvement in the trafficking syndicates.
The Thai army officer was suspended after police obtained his arrest warrant over his involvement in trafficking of Rohingyas and other boatpeople amid worldwide demand for effective steps to bust the cross-border syndicate.
Manas has been suspended temporarily with immediate effect with his salary suspended, Thai newspaper The Nation reported today quoting army commander Gen Udomdej Sitabutr.
The army chief said an internal army investigation was underway in parallel to an ongoing police investigation, which will begin once Manas turns himself in to Padang Besar police in the country's southern province of Songkhla , as required by the warrant issued for his arrest.
Interior Minister Anupong Paochinda said the involvement of a senior military officer in human trafficking has caused great damage to the country's reputation as well as that of the Thai armed forces. "This should not happen with officer of any rank, let alone the high rank of a lieutenant general," Anupong, a former army chief, said.
Meanwhile, the prime suspect Lt General Manas said yesterday he would turn himself in to police in Southern Padang Besar to face justice after allegations of trafficking and trading in modern-day slaves.
"Please don't rush to jump into premature judgement on me, look into information of all sides and let the court to make the verdict," Manas told reporters.
"I didn't run away and will give full cooperation to police.I will accept the court's verdict, whatever it is.
"I'm a Thai. I accept social norms and practice," he said.
The case involving Manas would process normally like a normal person would face, he said, adding that he didn't know if there were other military officers involved in trafficking.
The Rohingya trafficking issue had a clearer picture after the 14th Shangri -La Dialogue was held in Singapore on May 29, he said. The United States and other Western nations were satisfied with how Thailand was coping with the matter.
Thailand joined international efforts to help rescue thousands of boat people, some of who are still in the Indian Ocean on a dangerous journey to Southeast Asian countries.
More marine and aerial patrols had not found new boats recently, probably because of the high seas now, he said.
Meanwhile, deputy police chief General Aek Angsananont said diplomats from 19 countries and representatives from Interpol and international or United Nations aid agencies who attended a briefing held at the Royal Thai Police yesterday praised Thailand for how it was handling the Rohingya trafficking issue.
He said autopsy results on 36 bodies of Rohingya found on Khao Kaew in Songkhla's Sadao district found no evidence indicating physical abuse as the cause of 34 people's deaths, but the cause of two deaths were being examined.
A police commander, Maj-General Aphichart Suribunya, said officials from Myanmar and Bangladesh excused themselves from yesterday's briefing, as they preferred to attend a relevant seminar in Pattaya.
Separately, a large number of Rohingya at a Surat Thani shelter staged a protest yesterday, saying they were dissatisfied with strict regulations and upset at facing for a long time without knowing their future.
Shelter director Sudarat Bansawas said 35 of the 94 residents were victims of human trafficking – out of 200 who arrived in mid-2014. Some 106 of them later fled.
She said the Rohingya were keeping or hiding food in the shelter's sleeping quarters in violation of shelter regulations, in preparation for plans to escape.
Poor communication and their demand to go to Malaysia were key factors that caused the unrest, she said. But no one was hurt and there was only light property damage.
Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha said yesterday he would not intervene in the inquiry to bring senior military officer Lt General Manas into justice.An arrest warrant was issued for the senior officer, who his serving as an adviser to the army, in connection with alleged trafficking in migrants in the south.

Walking on the Top of The Continent: The Alpine Lakes Walk
Posted on Friday, 9th of January 2015
Walking on the Top of The Continent: The Alpine Lakes Walk
If you're looking to get outdoors this summer on a walking holiday, Thredbo is a great place for it, with alpine walks and bush trails galore.
This is Alexis Sirman's first season as a walking guide for Thredbo and she's in awe of everything she sees as she guides visitors around.
She recommends the well-known Alpine Lakes Walk as the go-to alpine walk this summer, rated as the 'best one' by the guides.
This is a 19km walk, rated moderate to strenuous in terms of fitness and begins in Thredbo village, ending in Charlotte's Pass with a vehicle ride back to Thredbo. Alexis says her favourite thing about this walk are the wildflowers.
"It is really special, it's one of 187 places in the world recognised for its biodiversity. And it's pretty amazing how we can take a casual walk on the rooftop of a continent".
The Alpine Lakes Walk works on a ratio of one guide per 10 people, although in peak season group numbers average eight as there are more guides.
The guides won't take anyone under age 15 as "it's pretty remote out there".
The alpine walk goes out to Mt Kosciuszko and passes by all five glacial lakes, the only glacial lakes in Australia. The group eats lunch at the highest peak of the walk at Carruthers (2145 metres) as well as passing by some old ruins and an old ski lodge.
There are plenty of opportunities to take photos along the way. "It's pretty breathtaking" Alexis says.
At Charlotte's Pass, the group celebrates the finish of the walk with a glass of champagne, some snacks and cold beer before being transported back to Thredbo. During peak season there are two Alpine Lakes walks per week, dropping to one per week once peak season concludes. The cost is $74 per person and is a full day from 9am to 5.30pm, with the group meeting 10 minutes prior to starting out.
Walks leave on January 10th, February 7th & 21st, 7th and 21st March and the 4th April. For more information on this walk, or other popular walks such as the Summit Mt Kozi Walk contact firstname.lastname@example.com or call 02 64594100.
If bushwalking is more your style, there's plenty of trails to explore in Thredbo this summer. On a hot day jump in the pool at the Leisure Centre, or grab some golf clubs or have a bobsled ride with the family. Don't think you're limited if you're single or a single parent family. There's plenty for everyone to do.
For centrally located Thredbo accommodation right in Thredbo Village stay at any of the Lantern Thredbo Apartments. There is a great range of 1-4 star self-contained accommodation to relax in after your alpine walk. Jill and Ian can help you find the right one for your particular situation.

text: Important Notes To know before applying for the construction permit and Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) for renewable and clean power plants, Please take the following items into consideration: Trading the construction permit and PPA is forbidden. It is necessary for the applicants to make sure about shareholders, before registering a company and requesting the construction permit. It is obvious that after issuance of construction permit and/or concluding the PPA the change in the shareholders would not be possible. All permission and approval issued for investment in the field of renewable and clean energies would be within the framework of governmental regulation and will only purchase the electricity from non-governmental renewable power plants after starting the operation of power plant in the form of guaranteed power purchase agreement. All feasibility studies, resource assessment, design, selection, supply of equipment, finance, construction and operation of power plants and also technical and financial protection during operation period will be responsibilities of the investor. Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Organization will not issue any guarantee or documents for obtaining financial facilities from banks. Also this organization will not issue any approval in terms of selected equipment for construction of power plant. The period for construction and commercial operation of the power plants subject to this PPA will be a maximum of 30 months for biomass, geothermal and small hydro, a maximum of 24 months for wind power plants and waste heat recovery in industrial processes and a maximum of 15 months for solar power plants since signing the PPA. In case of delay the last FiT which is valid on the start date of commercial operation will be applied. The issued permit is valid for a maximum of 6 months and in case of progress, it can be extended for another duration. It is important for the respected applicants to make sure they are capable of constructing the requested capacities, otherwise not only they would lose the benefits of PPA but also this will be considered as a negative point in issuing their next possible permissions or contracts Please click the link below to view a file regarding the construction process of non-governmental renewable and clean power plants.
