Many people still consider a mechanic to be a guy with a screwdriver, wrench and spanner who is constantly under the hood of a vehicle trying his best to find a specific fault on a customer's vehicle. However, just as the technology used in our vehicles is constantly advancing, so too is the technology of the automotive tools being used.
Previously many mechanics or vehicle technicians tool boxes only contained manual tools such as spanners, wrenches, screwdrivers and the like. In modern workshops, however, many of the automotive tools which truly count are computerized systems and software which aid the mechanic in being able to diagnose vehicle problems correctly.
Without the use of these types of computerized automotive tools it has become practically impossible for the mechanic or vehicle technician to correctly asses the problems which present-day vehicles might be having as these vehicles are mainly driven by very intricate computer systems.
Many people who call themselves vehicle technicians or mechanics however are resistant to switching over to these new computerized systems claiming that it is not necessary. I believe however it is more due to them being unwilling to fork out the cash to be able to buy these computerized systems and to learn how to use them correctly.
How on earth can you expect to be able to correctly diagnose problems on today's modern computer driven vehicles if you have no idea as to where in its programming the actual fault lies?
Automotive tools truly have advanced over the years, unfortunately not all vehicle technicians have done the same. So realized that today's luxury vehicles require the use of these specialized automotive tools in order to correctly maintain and be sure that the person servicing or repairing your vehicle has the correct equipment in order to be able to do so.

In Re Marriage of Henry
In re MARRIAGE OF Czarist HENRY and Joseph Henry, Appellee (The People of the State of Illinois ex rel. the Department of Public Aid, Appellant).
*804 Roland W. Burris, Atty. Gen., Springfield, and William Haine, State's Atty., Edwardsville (Rosalyn B. Kaplan, Sol. Gen., Chicago, and Robert G. Toews, Asst. Atty. Gen., Mt. Vernon, of counsel), Norbert J. Goetten, Stephen E. Norris and Gerry R. Arnold, of the Office of the State's Attys. Appellate Prosecutor, for appellant.
No appearance for appellee.
*805 Justice NICKELS delivered the opinion of the court:
The Illinois Department of Public Aid (Department), to which petitioner assigned her rights in this matter as a recipient of public aid (see 750 ILCS 15/2.1 (West 1992)), appeals the finding of the trial court that payment of a social security dependent disability allowance to the parties' minor daughter fulfilled respondent's child support obligation for those months during which the allowance was paid, a finding which the appellate court affirmed in an unpublished order (No. 5-89-0390 (unpublished order under Supreme Court Rule 23)). We allowed the Department's petition for leave to appeal (134 Ill.2d R. 315) and now affirm the appellate court.
In 1981, Czarist Henry filed a petition to dissolve her marriage to respondent, Joseph Henry, which was granted. The judgment further required Joseph to pay $50 per week in child support for the parties' two children, Aaron and Cammee, born in 1968 and 1974 respectively. However, Joseph failed to meet his child support obligations, and as a result in 1983 and again in 1985, orders were entered for payment of the original amount of child support plus payment of an additional amount towards the arrearage. In addition, in 1985, an order for withholding and a turnover order against Joseph's State and Federal income tax refunds were entered.
In February 1989, Joseph contacted the trial court by letter, which the trial court treated as a petition for modification. Specifically, Joseph's letter indicated that Aaron, who was about to turn 21 years of age, had been self-supporting for three years. Joseph also indicated that he had been found disabled in October 1987 and that a social security dependent disability allowance well in excess of Joseph's child support obligation had begun at that time. Although Joseph himself had also been receiving public aid since 1987 and had contacted the Department in an attempt to obtain relief from his child support obligation, he continued to be charged with such obligation. His letter further indicated that between 1985 and 1987, his wages had been garnished as ordered and his tax refunds applied toward the arrearage. On this stipulated record, the trial court found that "it would be inequitable to find that [Joseph] did not fulfill his support obligation commencing October, 1987" when payment of the social security dependent disability benefits had begun, and accordingly Joseph's child support was only in arrears through September 1987.
The Department appealed, and the appellate court reversed and remanded for modification of the trial court's order. However, because Joseph had not filed a brief in the appellate court, the trial court appointed counsel for the purpose of seeking a rehearing in the appellate court. The petition for rehearing was granted, the appellate court vacated its previous order and entered a modified order affirming the trial court's findings. As stated, the Department's petition for leave to appeal was granted.
The issue presented is not whether a trial court may retroactively modify or alter a previously entered order for child support. Dissolution of marriage and collateral matters such as child support are entirely statutory in origin and nature (Strukoff v. Strukoff (1979), 76 Ill. 2d 53, 60, 27 Ill. Dec. 762, 389 N.E.2d 1170), and, in light of the legislature's clear pronouncement that "any judgment respecting maintenance or support may be modified only as to installments accruing subsequent to due notice by the moving party," a trial court has no authority to retroactively modify a child support order (750 ILCS 5/510(a) (West 1992)), unlike other States (see Mass. Ann.Laws ch. 208, § 37 (Law. Co-op.1981); Cal.Civ.Code § 4705 (Deering 1984) (credit for social security disability payments required)). In contrast, the issue in the instant appeal is whether payment of a social security dependent disability allowance on behalf of the obligated parent satisfied such parent's child support obligation.
The Department relies on this court's decision in Finley v. Finley (1980), 81 Ill. 2d 317, 43 Ill. Dec. 12, 410 N.E.2d 12, together with precedent from the State of Washington, both of which in turn were the basis of *806 the Appellate Court, Third District's decision in In re Estate of Nakaerts (1982), 106 Ill.App.3d 166, 61 Ill. Dec. 950, 435 N.E.2d 791, on which the Department further relies. However, we conclude that the Nakaerts court, like the Department here, interpreted the holding of Finley too broadly.
In Finley, this court held that a parent obliged to make a single, undifferentiated child support payment for several children could not unilaterally reduce such payment pro rata as each child reached majority. (Finley, 81 Ill. 2d at 329, 43 Ill. Dec. 12, 410 N.E.2d 12.) There can be no dispute that a decrease in the amount of child support works a modification of a support order (Finley, 81 Ill. 2d at 329, 43 Ill. Dec. 12, 410 N.E.2d 12), which is beyond the court's authority (750 ILCS 5/510(a) (West 1992)). In contrast in this instance, however, the trial court did not reduce the amount of child support. The trial court below expressly provided that the 1985 order of support continued in full force and effect. Thus, the trial court merely found that social security dependent disability benefits paid on behalf of the noncustodial parent satisfied that parent's child support obligation for the period such benefits were received, and only the method of payment, or payor, was changed. Our own provision for an order of withholding contemplates similar third-party payments on behalf of an obligated parent. 750 ILCS 5/706.1 (West 1992); see also Sullivan v. Stroop (1990), 496 U.S. 478, 488 n. 3, 110 S. Ct. 2499, 2506 n. 3, 110 L. Ed. 2d 438, 448 n. 3 (Blackmun, J., dissenting, joined by Brennan & Marshall, JJ.).
Further, the rationale that the amount required to support a second child is incrementally less than that necessary to support one child supported this court's decision in Finley. Economists refer to such phenomena as economies of scale. Common sense resulted in the similar adage that two can live as cheaply as one. (See Bowen v. Gilliard (1987), 483 U.S. 587, 599-600, 107 S. Ct. 3008, 3016, 97 L. Ed. 2d 485, 500 ("`common sense proposition that individuals living with others usually have reduced per capita costs because many of their expenses are shared.'" [Citation.]).) Our own legislature has codified such commonsense and economic theory in the statutory guidelines for establishing child support, which reflect that 20% of a noncustodial parent's net income is necessary to support a single child, but that incrementally only an additional 5% is needed for a second child. (750 ILCS 5/505(a)(1) (West 1992).) Finley's logic, however, is not applicable in a situation such as this where only the method of payment was altered and the amount of child support remained unchanged.
Like the court in Nakaerts, the Department also further relies on precedent from the State of Washington. Washington is among the minority of jurisdictions that have held that credit for the payment of social security dependent disability allowances is an impermissible retroactive modification of a support order. (See Hinckley v. Hinckley (Wyo.1991), 812 P.2d 907; Arnoldt v. Arnoldt (1990), 554 N.Y.S.2d 396, 147 Misc. 2d 37; Guthmiller v. Guthmiller (N.D.1989), 448 N.W.2d 643; Gerlich v. Gerlich (Minn.App.1986), 379 N.W.2d 689; Zirkle v. Zirkle (1983), 172 W. Va. 211, 304 S.E.2d 664; In re Marriage of Cope (1981), 291 Or. 412, 631 P.2d 781; Fowler v. Fowler (1968), 156 Conn. 569, 244 A.2d 375; Chase v. Chase (1968), 74 Wash. 2d 253, 444 P.2d 145.) However, the overwhelming majority of jurisdictions have held that payment of a social security dependent disability allowance paid on behalf of a noncustodial parent satisfied such parent's child support obligation. (See Hanthorn v. Hanthorn (1990), 236 Neb. 225, 460 N.W.2d 650; Board v. Board (Ky.1985), 690 S.W.2d 380; Justice v. Scruggs (1985), 286 S. C. 165, 332 S.E.2d 106; Bowden v. Bowden (Ala.Civ.App.1983), 426 So. 2d 448; In re Marriage of Meek (Colo.App.1983), 669 P.2d 628, 630; Children & Youth Services v. Chorgo (1985), 341 Pa. Super. 512, 491 A.2d 1374; Folds v. Lebert (La.App. 1982), 420 So. 2d 715; Mooneyham v. Mooneyham (Miss.1982), 420 So. 2d 1072; Davis v. Davis (1982), 141 Vt. 398, 449 A.2d 947; In re Marriage of Denney (1981), 115 Cal. App. 3d 543, 171 Cal. Rptr. 440 (statute expressly *807 provides for credit for social security payments); Newton v. Newton (Mo.App. 1981), 622 S.W.2d 23; Lopez v. Lopez (1980), 125 Ariz. 309, 609 P.2d 579; Mask v. Mask (1980), 95 N. M. 229, 620 P.2d 883; Griffin v. Avery (1980), 120 N. H. 783, 424 A.2d 175; Perteet v. Sumner (1980), 246 Ga. 182, 269 S.E.2d 453; Potts v. Potts (Iowa 1976), 240 N.W.2d 680; Andler v. Andler (1975), 217 Kan. 538, 538 P.2d 649; Cash v. Cash (1962), 234 Ark. 603, 353 S.W.2d 348.) Moreover, we find the logic of the Washington court in Chase v. Chase, on which both the Department and the Nakaerts court relied, flawed.
The Chase court ruled that receipt of social security dependent disability benefits was a change in circumstances, to be considered with all other circumstances and to be considered prospectively only. (Chase, 74 Wash. 2d at 259, 444 P.2d at 149.) The Chase court went on to list other possible circumstances, such as the noncustodial parent's receipt in the interim of an inheritance or retirement benefits, as examples of circumstances in which no credit for payment of social security dependent disability benefits would be warranted. (Chase, 74 Wash. 2d at 259, 444 P.2d at 149.) On the surface, such logic is appealing.
However, it was the Chase court's hypothetical circumstances, rather than the payment of social security dependent disability benefits, that actually supported its reasoning and conclusion that no credit for the payment of social security disability benefits on behalf of the obligated parent was warranted. Effectively, the Chase court relied on the hypothetical circumstances it created to increase the amount of support by an amount equal to the credit for payment of the social security dependent disability benefit on behalf of the obligated parent. However, because a modification to increase the amount of child support is permissible only prospectively, the effect of the Chase court's reliance on its hypothetical circumstances resulted in exactly the impermissible retroactive modification it sought to avoid.
Similarly, the Chase court also speculated that the noncustodial parent might originally have been independently wealthy. (Chase, 74 Wash. 2d at 259, 444 P.2d at 149.) In such a situation, a trial court's discretion would nevertheless be limited to an award of child support such that the child would continue to enjoy the standard of living she would have had if the marriage had not been dissolved, and any award in excess of such amount would be an abuse of discretion. (In re Marriage of Scafuri (1990), 203 Ill.App.3d 385, 392-93, 149 Ill. Dec. 124, 561 N.E.2d 402.) Once the amount of child support has been determined to provide such continuity in the child's standard of living, payment of a social security dependent disability allowance would not permit a modification in the amount of support above that necessary to maintain the child's standard of living. Scafuri, 203 Ill.App.3d at 392-93, 149 Ill. Dec. 124, 561 N.E.2d 402.
Finally, although inventive, such hypothetical circumstances as envisioned by the Chase court are hardly realistic. Rather, it is an inescapable conclusion that a determination of eligibility for social security dependent disability benefits occurs only when a parent becomes unable to generate income to meet his child support obligations. Childerson v. Hess (1990), 198 Ill.App.3d 395, 399, 144 Ill. Dec. 551, 555 N.E.2d 1070; Schulze v. Jensen (1974) 191 Neb. 253, 257, 214 N.W.2d 591, 594.
Although not cited by the Department, the United States Supreme Court in a divided opinion found that social security dependent benefits were not "child support payments" subject to the disregard provision under the Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC) program of part A of title IV of the Social Security Act. (Sullivan v. Stroop (1990), 496 U.S. 478, 110 S. Ct. 2499, 110 L. Ed. 2d 438; 42 U.S.C. § 602(a)(8)(A)(vi) (1988) ($50 of "child support payments" not included in computing family income for purposes of receipt or recoupment of AFDC).) However, such conclusion was based on the Court's interpretation of the legislature's use of the term "child support" throughout the applicable *808 provisions of title IV as a clear and unambiguous expression that only actual payment of support obligations by noncustodial parents were to be included. (Sullivan, 496 U.S. at 483-85, 110 S. Ct. at 2504, 110 L. Ed. 2d at 445-46.) Thus, the Sullivan Court did not look beyond the statutory language. (Sullivan, 496 U.S. at 485, 110 S. Ct. at 2504, 110 L. Ed. 2d at 446.) As the two dissents noted, however, such conclusion, although finding support in canons of statutory construction, contravened the nature and purpose of social security dependent benefits. Sullivan, 496 U.S. at 485-96, 110 S. Ct. at 2504-10, 110 L. Ed. 2d at 447-53 (Blackmun, J., dissenting, joined by Brennan Sullivan, 496 U.S. at 496, 110 S. Ct. at 2510, 110 L. Ed. 2d at 453 (Stevens, J., dissenting).
The cannons of statutory construction do not similarly limit our inquiry, however, because our legislature has given no indication in the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act applicable here of such a narrow and constrained interpretation of the term "child support payments," and matters of child support and family law are the province of the States (see Hisquierdo v. Hisquierdo (1979), 439 U.S. 572, 581, 99 S. Ct. 802, 808, 59 L. Ed. 2d 1, 11). In addition, although dissolution and its collateral issues of support are purely statutory (Strukoff, 76 Ill. 2d at 60, 27 Ill. Dec. 762, 389 N.E.2d 1170), such proceedings partake so much of the nature of a chancery proceeding that the rules of equity are applicable (Finley, 81 Ill. 2d at 332, 43 Ill. Dec. 12, 410 N.E.2d 12; Bremer v. Bremer (1954), 4 Ill. 2d 190, 192, 122 N.E.2d 794), and satisfaction of a support obligation from another source is an equitable defense (see Mask, 95 N.M. at 231, 620 P.2d at 885). Therefore, although modification of the amount of child support is prohibited (750 ILCS 5/510(a) (West 1992)), a distinction exists between "crediting an obligation with payment made from another source and increasing, decreasing or terminating, or otherwise modifying a specific dollar amount" (Board, 690 S.W.2d at 381; Hanthorn, 236 Neb. at 230-31, 460 N.W.2d at 654), and whether a particular payment satisfies a parent's child support obligation focuses on a determination of how such payment is generated, by whom, and its purpose. Thus, unlike the majority in Sullivan, we are free to consider the nature and purpose of the social security dependent disability benefits.
The appellate court below relied on Childerson v. Hess (1990), 198 Ill.App.3d 395, 144 Ill. Dec. 551, 555 N.E.2d 1070, which was based on such analysis of the nature of social security disability benefits. The Department correctly notes that Childerson arose in the context of a challenge to the trial court's discretion to set the initial amount of support. However, the issue was resolved as a question of whether payment of social security dependent disability benefits satisfied a noncustodial parent's child support obligation, which is identical to the issue presented here.
Initially, we note that when payments are made voluntarily and are not made for the benefit of the noncustodial parent, such payments are merely gratuitous. (In re Robertson (1986), 151 Ill.App.3d 214, 224-25, 104 Ill. Dec. 619, 502 N.E.2d 1279.) In contrast, however, the right to social security benefits is earned. (Flemming v. Nestor (1960), 363 U.S. 603, 609, 80 S. Ct. 1367, 1372, 4 L. Ed. 2d 1435.) "[A] worker is legally compelled to set aside a portion of his wages in order to earn benefits used to support his dependent children in the event he becomes unable to do so himself." (Emphasis in original.) (Sullivan, 496 U.S. at 487, 110 S. Ct. at 2505, 110 L. Ed. 2d at 447 (Blackmun, J., dissenting, joined by Brennan & Marshall, JJ.).) Eligibility for social security benefits and the amount of such benefits depends on "the earnings record of the primary beneficiary." (Flemming v. Nestor (1960), 363 U.S. 603, 609, 80 S. Ct. 1367, 1371, 4 L. Ed. 2d 1435, 1443.) Thus, social security dependent disability benefits are not gratuitous (Childerson, 198 Ill.App.3d at 399, 144 Ill. Dec. 551, 555 N.E.2d 1070; Andler, 217 Kan. at 542, 538 P.2d at 653), but are generated by the noncustodial parent through his labor and earnings.
*809 The sole and express purpose of social security dependent benefits is to support dependent children. (Jimenez v. Weinberger (1974), 417 U.S. 628, 634, 94 S. Ct. 2496, 2500, 41 L. Ed. 2d 363, 369.) "[S]ocial security death benefits represent money earned and contributed through the efforts of a working parent * * *, which payments, like the proceeds of an insurance policy, substitute as income to the worker's family should he * * * become disabled." (In re Marriage of Meek, 669 P.2d at 630; Childerson, 198 Ill.App.3d at 399, 144 Ill. Dec. 551, 555 N.E.2d 1070.) "The fundamental nature of the social security system is a form of insurance in every sense of that word" with the premiums for such insurance paid by the employee in the form of deductions from his wages or salary throughout his working life. (Childerson, 198 Ill.App.3d at 399, 144 Ill. Dec. 551, 555 N.E.2d 1070.) Social security dependent disability benefits replace support the child loses upon the disability of the wage earner responsible for the child's support (Tsosie v. Califano (9th Cir.1980), 630 F.2d 1328, 1337), and such benefits substitute for a parent's loss of earning power and obligation to support his dependents (Schulze v. Jensen (1974), 191 Neb. 253, 257, 214 N.W.2d 591, 594). Thus, the source and the purpose of social security dependent benefits are identical to the source and purpose of child supportboth come from a noncustodial parent's wages or assets and both provide for the needs of the dependent child (Sullivan, 496 U.S. at 487, 110 S. Ct. at 2505, 110 L. Ed. 2d at 447 (Blackmun, J., dissenting, joined by Brennan & Marshall, JJ.)), and, for our purposes, "no principal distinction exists between social security benefits and child support payments" (Bradley v. Austin (6th Cir.1988), 841 F.2d 1288, 1296 (due process challenge)).
We conclude that because social security dependent disability benefits are earned by the noncustodial parent, made on behalf of such parent, and, in fact, paid at least in part with contributions from the noncustodial's own earnings, payment of social security dependent disability benefits satisfies a noncustodial parent's child support obligation. The judgment of the appellate court is affirmed.
HARRISON, J., took no part in the consideration or decision of this case.
Justice HEIPLE, dissenting:
Joseph Henry, divorced in 1981, was under a court order to pay $50 per week in child support. He was delinquent. By 1987, his arrearages totaled nearly $10,000. In October of 1987, Joseph was determined to be disabled by the Social Security Administration and began to receive Social Security disability checks. His dependent child also began to receive a dependent's Social Security disability allowance in the amount of $421 per month. Later, in February of 1989, Joseph wrote to the trial court and requested that his child support order be modified. At that time, his arrearages exceeded $13,000.
The decision announced today establishes the principle that Joseph shall receive full credit ab initio for all Social Security payments made to his child in satisfaction of both his accumulated arrearages and his current support obligation without any necessity to obtain a modification of the child support order. This is new law for Illinois. It is also unfortunate. It amounts to a sub silentio and retroactive modification of a child support order, previously deemed to be impermissible. See In re Estate of Nakaerts (1982), 106 Ill.App.3d 166, 61 Ill. Dec. 950, 435 N.E.2d 791; Chase v. Chase (1968), 74 Wash. 2d 253, 444 P.2d 145.
The law has always been that a child support order could be modified upon application to the court when changed circumstances warranted a modification. That requirement was not and is not a serious or burdensome obligation to impose upon the parties. In the instant case, Joseph could have applied for a modification immediately upon the occurrence of his disability. He did not. Rather, he delayed for approximately 16 months before requesting a modification.
*810 Adjustments such as this now have statewide application. They will take place automatically and silently. They will apply without any reference to changed circumstances either of the parent or the children. The trial court will not be advised. Confusion, uncertainty and misunderstandings will result. What other credits will apply to discharge child support obligations? Perhaps creative lawyers will tell us. If Joseph had purchased and given a lottery ticket to his child which came up a winner, would that discharge his delinquent obligations? Also ignored in this case is the precept that child support payments, though for the support of the child, belong to the custodial parent, not the child.
The legalisms and creative linguistics that were applied in this case to explain and justify what is presumably deemed to be an equitable result will have unforeseen and unfortunate results that will resound into the future. For the reasons given, I respectfully dissent.

I took a forty minutes flight from Bergen to Stavanger to continue my Norwegian experience. It's a short flight but the one-way ticket amounted to SGD 160. And that is something I struggled getting used to since Norway is known to be one of the most expensive countries in the world. So I suppose the price issue will always be mentioned but it's really worth the time and moolah. The spectacular landscapes will be imprinted into your mind for the longest time. How about popping over to my posts on Lofoten Islands to see what I mean?
Stavanger is the oil capital of Norway and known to be the country's richest city. But despite that, I find it to be a quaint place and there is actually a small town feel to it. And I thought that's nice for a place known for its oil riches. The first place of visit was the old town (Gamle Stavanger) near to the port area, where I find old wooden houses lining the cobbled streets.
There is this Norwegian Canning Museum (Norsk HermetikkMuseum) housed in an old factory building. It showcases Norway's exported canned-fish production which Stavanger was once a powerhouse.
I went for an early dinner at Skagen Restaurant which is located alongside the port area. I like the heavy wood interior but most importantly, the food is great!
Stavanger Geopark (Geoparken) is an industrial-looking urban space next to Norwegian Petroleum Museum (Norsk Oljemuseum). The unique Geopark covered in graffiti was built with materials, scraps and waste related to oil production. Even the shape of it was based on the shape of an oil field. It is an amazing sight and so fitting for a city synonymous with oil. Maybe I should have allocated time to visit the oil museum too.
I almost did not realize it's also a playground until I noticed children running around and having fun.
I made my way to Valbergtarnet (Valberg Tower) before heading back to the port. The shops close early in Stavanger and the streets were empty by evening time.
Things are livelier around the port area where the restaurants and bars are located. The port looks even better in the night and I just chillax here to take in the views. It's also amazing to note that Stavanger population is the fourth largest in Norway but the city still exudes an endearing small-town atmosphere. Nice!
Best Western Havly Hotell is located near to Valbergtarnet and short walking distance to the port. It's a nice and comfortable hotel with extremely friendly staff. The room is quite small but good enough for me. The variety and selection of the continental breakfast buffet could have been better. Nevertheless, I would stay here again when back in Stavanger.
What are your thoughts about Stavanger? Leave a comment and share it with me.

I'm on the move again, whilst stumbling through Shropshire today I had a chance to visit Hopton Castle on the border of Powys and Shropshire. One of five publicly accessible castles and eight on private land within 16 miles (25km) range.
Hopton Castle was of interest to me because of the English Civil War siege carried out there in 1644 where its commander Samuel More and 31 Parliamentarian defenders fought off several hundred Royalist soldiers.
Hopton Castle, during the siege of 1644 had a number of outbuildings around it fortified for its defence against a detachment of Royalist forces under Sir Michael Woodhouse, Prince Rupert's forces based in Shrewsbury held most of Shrophire at that time.
I think this is the outlet for the guarderobe since it has a shaft running upward to a room above. Renovators discovered a hole where the besieging Royalists eventually gained access to the tower during the siege apparently via this aperture on the outer wall of the keep, the ascent is approximately 12 feet vertically.
Small grassy mounds are all that is left of the oubuildings.The remains of Gregory the steward's lodgings and the manor house which featured in the early stages of the assault on the castle during the siege.
Inside restoration work has been done to stop the building decaying any further.
The Royalists had brought 3 cannon comprising culverin and demi-culverin to convince the Parliamentarians to surrender.
The carpark and access to the castle and leaflets are free, any donations will go towards Hoptons upkeep.
view over the small bridge.
The site of infamy due to the bloody massacre of the 31 defenders, who twice refused to surrender. Only at the third request the garrison commander thought it prudent to surrender to avoid being blown up after Royalist engineers had dug a breach under the walls ready to fill with gun powder.
Apparently the Royalist intention was to reduce this small castle at Hopton and use it as a base to attack the Earl of Oxford's castle of Brampton (on private grounds). Castle Brampton was held against a Royalist siege by the Earl of Oxford's wife Brilliana in 1643 while her husband and son were away fighting for the Parliamentarian cause.
Hopton castle is obviously going to be in the shadow of its more popular castles such as Stokesay and Ludlow castle. But it could make a small interesting skirmish wargame with 31 defenders and 1 commander Samuel More fighting for Parliament against several hundred Royalist foot armed with muskets pike and supported by 3 cannon culverin and dei culverin commanded by Sir Michael Woodhouse, fighting through the outhouses and enclosures on one side of the castle and trying to support a breaching party digging at the base of the tower in the hopes of planting some barrels of gunpowder to demolish the keep.


Russia is one of the fastest-growing economies in the world. The country's economy is expected to reach $3.18 trillion by 2018. Russia's economic performance suffered during the global financial crisis but recovered in 2010 and 2011, due factors such as government stimulus packages and export growth. Petroleum and iron and steel are the leading industries in the country.
Lucintel, a leading global management consulting and market research firm, has conducted a competitive analysis on the PESTLE analysis of the country and presents its findings in "PESTLE Analysis of Russia 2013." This report studies the Political, Economic, Social, Technological, and Legal analysis of Russia and includes a Swot Analysis and recent economic policy study.
Lucintel's analysis indicates that Russia is one of the most corrupt countries in the world. Its high Corruption Perception Index (CPI) has become one of the major concerns for the investors looking to invest in the country. Russia also suffers from a high homicide rate. Major crimes, including murder and robbery, are quite high in the country, which also reflects the risk of the country's internal security.
The report also highlights the major drivers of the economy. Strong domestic demand is the key driver of the Russian economy. A solid workforce and abundant natural resources drive the economy. Domestic demand of population consumes almost half of the GDP. Russia's strategic geographic location acts as a strength of the country, connecting it with the other valuable markets of Europe and Asia.
This report analyzes the impact of different macroeconomic indicators of Russia on various industries. This also includes the impact of socio-political-demographical changes on different industries. This report analyzes domestic and external economic trends, government policies, technological changes, and their impact on different industries.

Talking About Money
Talking About MoneyAge: 9-11
Talking About Cryptocurrency
Why talk about cryptocurrency?
There's lots of loose talk about cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, Dogecoin and Ethereum. Some see them as the future of money, while others think they're a bit unsafe. Offering your child a balanced view will help them gain a good footing in this very new side of financial literacy.
What are cryptocurrencies?
Cryptocurrencies can be used to buy things, but they're purely digital– there's no coins or cash. The most popular cryptocurrency is called Bitcoin, but there are a number of others. Some believe that this is the future of money so it's a chance to talk to your kids about it.
Normal money, like British £ and US $, are controlled by governments; cryptocurrencies aren't. Instead, they're kept in check on a ledger (a kind of big, electronic exercise book), held on lots of different people's computers around the world. This ledger is known as a blockchain.
Bitcoin is the most famous cryptocurrency. It was invented in 2008 by a figure known as Satoshi Nakamoto. That's not his or her real name; the person or persons who created Bitcoin have never clearly identified themselves.
There are thousands of different cryptocurrencies in the world compared to 180 traditional currencies!
Bitcoin can be bought, but also made via a computer, running programs that help maintain Bitcoin's blockchain. Unfortunately, these days, to make lots of Bitcoin, you need a very powerful computer. In 2018, some Russian nuclear scientists were arrested after they tried to use one of the country's most powerful supercomputers to mine cryptocurrencies!
In 2013, James Howells, a British IT worker from Newport accidentally threw away 7,500 bitcoins when he got rid of an old laptop hard drive. That haul is worth over £200 million today. He now wants to dig up his local rubbish tip, in the hope of finding the old drive.
Talking to your kids about cryptocurrencies
Stuck for a way to discuss cryptocurrency with your kids? Try these talking points
Why do people like cryptocurrency?
Because it isn't run by one country or person, cryptocurrency can be used around the world. There aren't many added costs in using it, and you use it anywhere you can get the internet. Also some cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin, have gone up in value, which has made early users rich.
Why do some people dislike cryptocurrency?
Some say they're not good for the planet. It takes a lot of power to power the computers that run computers that maintain cryptocurrencies, which heats the globe. If Bitcoin were a country, it would be using about as much energy as Argentina! Also, the value of cryptocurrencies goes up and down. In the time it takes to pay for some sweets the value of your crypto wallet could have changed.
Is there a cryptocurrency with a dog on it?
Err, yes. Sort of. Back in 2013 two programmers created Dogecoin, a jokey cryptocurrency named after the 'doge' dog internet meme. However, that funny cryptocurrency has gone on to be worth serious money.
Is cryptocurrency the money of the future?
Nobody knows. Some sci-fi books describe a world where cryptocurrencies are really big, but some economists aren't so keen on the idea. Read Paul Krugman's words, below, to get a sceptic's view.
Having some fun with it
Playing is a great way to aid the understanding of the cryptocurrency for kids. Why not try some of these learning games?
How much is it worth today?
See how much the value of a cryptocurrency changes in the space of a day. Bitcoin is the most famous one, and its price changes rapidly. Lots of things affect the price, from elections to wars to rival cryptocurrencies.
Create your own cryptocurrency
Challenge them to create their own cryptocurrency: They'll need a name and a logo. Here's a super cool site that lets you create a cryptocurrency logo for free!
Bitcoin myths
Make up your own story for Satoshi Nakamoto, the shadowy figure who created Bitcoin. There are a few clues as to his identity out there...
Cryptokitties
Blockchain technology isn't just used to keep track of currencies. It's also used to create one-off, unique works of digital art. These are known as non-fungible tokens, or NFTs. And what's the most popular subject for NFT creators? Kittens. One of these crypto kitties just sold for over £415,000! Can you make a good one?
Expert View
"Cryptocurrencies have no backstop, no tether to reality. Their value depends entirely on self-fulfilling expectations — which means that total collapse is a real possibility. If speculators were to have a collective moment of doubt, suddenly fearing that Bitcoins were worthless, well, Bitcoins would become worthless. Will that happen?"
Paul KrugmanNobel Prize winning economist, , writing in the New York Times.
"Gold is analog; Bitcoin is digital. It's far superior to gold as a store of value, not just because it's gone up 200% a year for 10 years, but because you can't flee your country with millions of dollars' worth of gold, as it's bulky and hard to divide, whereas you can send Bitcoin anywhere in a fraction of a second at very low cost, and it's almost infinitely divisible."
Bill MillerAmerican investor
Parental View
"My kids are seven and eight, so money is abstract to them anyway, and cryptocurrency is next-level abstraction. But they spend their allowances on things like Roblox and Minecraft. That isn't quite cryptocurrency; it is a sort of currency that can only be used in a certain digital context. Guiding them through the process of converting real money into digital currency, then seeing how they fall in and out of love with these games has been really instructive. My eight year old spent his entire birthday endowment on Roblox. Then, two weeks later, he and his friends stop playing the game, and he can't convert it back. That was a really good lesson for him to learn: when you convert all your assets into a digital currency, it's a lot less stable, and maybe even a gamble. I think that's a good analogue for cryptocurrency."

The Good News About the Bad Effort in Congress to Thwart GMO Labeling by States →
Campbell Soup or Monsanto? Who Do You Trust?
Posted on January 25, 2016 by Belinda
How does a company build trust? Campbell Soup and Monsanto appear to be going about it in quite different ways.
As reported in The New York Times, the Monsanto Company filed a lawsuit against California's Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) last Thursday in an effort to prevent that state agency from listing glyphosate, the active ingredient in Monsanto's flagship herbicide Roundup, as known to the state to cause cancer.
OEHHA is the government agency in California that implements the Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986 (AKA Proposition 65). This California state law requires that substances identified as human or animal carcinogens by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), an agency of the World Health Organization (WHO), be included on the state's list.
As reported in The Lancet Oncology, the IARC had concluded last March that glyphosate causes cancer in lab animals and is also a probable human carcinogen.
Reuters reported soon thereafter that Monsanto was seeking to have the IARC's report retracted.
Apparently, however, neither that tactic, nor Monsanto's effort to convince the OEHHA to withdraw its proposal to list glyphosate as a known carcinogen, worked. Hence, the lawsuit: Monsanto Company v. Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment, et al., filed in the Superior Court of the State of California, County of Fresno.
According to Reuters, Monsanto argues that providing a "clear and reasonable warning" to consumers that glyphosate is known to cause cancer (a requirement that would go into effect upon listing) would damage its reputation and violate its First Amendment rights (presumably its right to refuse to "speak" about glyphosate in this manner).
I can't help but contrast this argument to Campbell Soup Company's commitment to both transparency and putting its customers first (expressed earlier this month when it called for mandatory federal labeling of foods "that may contain genetically modified organisms").
"We put the consumer at the center of everything we do. That's how we've built trust for nearly 150 years, explained Campbell's President and CEO Denise Morrison in a message she delivered to Campbell employees in early January.
In my opinion, the Monsanto Company has a lot to learn about trust. Calling for retractions, refusing to label, and suing the California OEHHA over enforcement of a state law are certainly not going to engender it.
Better to follow in the footsteps of a company that has been around a while longer than Monsanto…the Campbell Soup Company. "For generations, people have trusted Campbell…." It's time for the rest of "Big Food," and the agricultural biotechnology industry in general, to put consumers first and start (re)building trust.
That game plan is bound to improve a reputation much more than suing California OEHHA.

Do we have to fill a room in order to participate?
NOPE!!! If you have less than the maximum for shows, you will join anyone else who buys tickets to your room. If you want a private experience, we suggest clicking the private event button - you'll save money and you'll have the room all to yourself).
Unfortunately, Trapped Columbus DOES NOT ISSUE REFUNDS! However, we do realize that sometimes you will need to reschedule your show time. As long as you call MORE THAN 48 hours before your scheduled showtime, we will do our best to reschedule you with no additional fees. However, cancellations and no-shows can ruin the experience for others who have scheduled for the same time and that will be taken into consideration in whether or not we can reschedule you.
In addition, if you contact us less than 48 hours ahead of your showtime, you will be charged $10/ticket for rescheduling.
When should I arrive for my experience?
You will have some paperwork to complete and instructions, so please arrive NO LATER THAN 15 minutes BEFORE YOUR SHOWTIME!
A passion for sleuthing, all your experiences and a few friends, but otherwise, only what's in your head will help you in the room.
Will Trapped change the themes of the rooms?
All the time... okay maybe not all the time. We will maintain the most popular rooms and will constantly test new rooms. In addition, each room's puzzles will change every 4-5 months. Check with our location manager for details on what session you were in and what others are available. Our goal is to continuously provide exciting, challenging and interesting NEW experiences for you.
Can we book through the phone?
While we HIGHLY encourage customers to book online, but we can take reservations by phone.
Can we cancel or change the time after we booked?
As long as you alert us of a need to reschedule at least 48 hours in advance by phone (614) 754-9448 we will do our best to schedule you for a different time slot, but there are NO REFUNDS.
Can we bring our belongings into the room?
No. We will lock up all cell phones and any valuables during game play. Cell phones, flashlights or other "tools" are NOT permitted!
What is the minimum number of participants for each room?
It depends on the concept, but because each room is meticulously designed with a team of ten to twelve in mind, we will be forced to cancel if fewer than 4 individuals have paid within 4 hours of the show. If we are forced to cancel, you can be added to another scheduled show or you will receive a reschedule code for use at a later time.
We have a strict 15 and older policy for mixed rooms (rooms in which your family is NOT the only participants). In other words, children of any age may participate, but under 15 may participate ONLY IF YOU BUY ALL THE TICKETS TO THE EXPERIENCE. This ensures you're the only ones in the room.
Regardless, a parent or guardian MUST sign this waiver (CLICK HERE) prior to the show... you may download, sign and bring with you, or you can complete once you arrive!
Walk in customers are allowed, but discouraged. We cannot guarantee you will have a spot without a reservation; especially on weekends as we are then the busiest. Customers are suggested to book their reservation 1-2 weeks in advance in order to guarantee themselves a spot.
How often are teams successful in escaping your rooms?
It depends on the room, but we make the puzzles and clues very difficult on purpose to offer a challenge. You can expect to be successful between 20-30% of the time.
Can I schedule a private show just for my friends or my organization?
Heck yeah! To reserve an entire show for your group, you'll simply need to purchase all 12 tickets, or contact us and we can schedule a special event time just for you.
MUTATED! - What happens if the "zombie" or "mutated creature" touches me?
Believe me, you do not want to get touched by the zombie. If you are touched, you can consider yourself eaten. You may no longer participate in active searching. You will have to sit out, but you will be able to communicate verbally!

NFL2014 Crystal Schnoz Predictions – AFC South
Posted on August 22, 2014 September 3, 2014 by Bryan
3 notes before we get to the predictions:
1. NFL predictions are so hard to nail because of injuries, parity, and random bounces of the ball. That's why this is so fun.
2. FO = Football Outsiders. I reference them and their phenomenal stats a lot. Their almanac is fantastic, go buy it.
3. Share your predictions in the comments so we can come back in January and marvel at how much smarter I am than you.
THE AFC SOUTH
#1 – Indianapolis Colts
2 Things You Might Already Know
1) No QB has been hit more in the last two years than Andrew Luck. And no, the offensive line doesn't look much better this year.
2) Sticking with Andrew Luck, because what else is there with this team, the dude is 22-10 as an NFL starter. Imagine if he had an average O-line and a legit RB to work with?
2 Things You Didn't Already Know
1) Tight End Dwayne Allen's #1 Bucket List item is to record a video on his phone funny enough to make it on A.F.V. He doesn't even care about winning the $10K prize, he just wants Tom Bergeron to narrate something he filmed.
2) The "T.Y." in T.Y. Hilton's name stands for "Too Young" because his mother was annoyed that he was born eight days before his due date and the baby room wasn't painted yet.
Random Object That Reminds Us Of This Team Without Any Context or Explanation: a vending machine
Celebrity Fans: David Letterman and Rob Lowe
Best Case Scenario: 16-0
Worst Case Scenario: Andrew Luck quits football to do voice-overs for ogres in Hollywood. In their first practice without Luck, everyone looks around and realizes how bad they are and Jim Irsay buys them all swords to fall on and they all die.
Schnoz Prediction: 9-7
Why: Swap Andrew Luck with the starting QB from any other team in the AFC South and Luck still wins the division. He's that good and the Colts are that mediocre without him. Indianapolis is an injury to Robert Mathis away from having no pass rush, and an Andrew Luck injury away from being 5-11. Let's hope neither happens, in which case the Colts will earn the #4 seed in the conference and be a one-point underdog to a superior team in the Wild Card round.
#2 – Jacksonville Jaguars
1) This was the worst offense in football in 2013. On the bright side, the defense was only the 5th worse in 2013. How they finished 3rd in their division is one of the mysteries of the universe. (Oh wait: Matt Schaub. Mystery solved.)
2) In a recent NFL poll, the Jaguars ranked #9 in popularity outside of the U.S. Shame on you, England.
1) CB Alan Ball thinks the "You Pick Two" deal at Panera Bread is very underpriced. He's on record as saying he's be willing to pay upwards of $20 for the combo.
2) Head Coach Gus Bradley demands his players refer to him as 'Chef Gus' because of his ability to 'cook up wins'. It has not caught on as he had hoped.
Random Object That Reminds Us Of This Team Without Any Context or Explanation: an unpaired sock
Celebrity Fans: Gene Hackman, Somebody in London, and Maybe Somebody Else in London
Worst Case Scenario: Their flight to the U.K. in Week 10 splits in half and they end up on a mysterious island where Blake Bortles and Chad Henne battle the elements and each other to help their teammates survive. Unfortunately there is also a smoke monster on this island and it is not amused with the Jaguars uniforms and they all die.
Why: This is Gus Bradley's 2nd year as Head Coach, and the former Seahawks' D.C. brought in Red Bryant and Chris Clemons from Seattle this off-season in his continued effort to turn the Jaguars into Seattle South. The D will be better, and as soon as they turn the offense over to Blake Bortles it will drastically improve as well. A lot to like for 2015, but a slow start and an inevitable QB change keeps them from achieving a winning record this year.
#3 – Houston Texans
1) What do you get for finishing last in a terrible division? League-wide ridicule and an entirely new coaching staff!
2) What else do you get for finishing last in a terrible division? The top pick AND the league's easiest schedule in 2014! Congratulations!
1) J.J. Watt and Jadeveon Clowney have given themselves the nickname "Circus Lights", apparently derived from the words "clown" and watt" in their names. You won't be able to hear it on television, but after every sack they will scream "circus lights!" at the top of their lungs.
2) Running Back Arian Foster has two kidneys.
Random Object That Reminds Us Of This Team Without Any Context or Explanation: the top button of a dress shirt
Celebrity Fans: George W Bush, George HW Bush, and Hannah Storm
Worst Case Scenario: M. Night Shayamalan's movie "The Happening" proves true and people really do start throwing themselves off of cliffs and under lawnmowers and it starts in Houston where the entire team gets infected and drowns themselves in the Gulf of Mexico where they all die.
Schnoz Prediction: 6-10
Why: We believe in Bill O'Brien as a coach and in Romeo Crennel as a defensive coordinator, but it's going to take a few games to wipe the stink of 2013 off of this franchise. Having the league's easiest schedule will help a lot – propelling this team close to 8-8 – but unless Ryan Fitzpatrick takes a leap we don't think he has in him, finishing in third in the division will have to do for now.
#4 – Tennessee Titans
1) Though they finished 7-9 last year, don't let those seven wins fool you. Three of them were over Houston, Jacksonville, and Oakland by a combined 14 points.
2) The defense switched to a 3-4 scheme this offseason under new coordinator Ray Horton. With a lack of big playmakers, specifically at cornerback, there will be some major growing pains.
1) The three red stars in the Titans logo represent the three Jonas brothers: Kevin, Nick, and Joe.
2) Running back Shonn Greene really likes the word 'rhubarb'.
Random Object That Reminds Us Of This Team Without Any Context or Explanation: a mealy apple
Celebrity Fans: Faith Hill, Tim McGraw, and Nicole Kidman
Worst Case Scenario: The players all agree to make cameo appearances in the ABC show Nashville, get the acting bug, and quit football to wait tables in Hollywood looking for their big break. On the way to L.A. their pilot decides to fly the plane to the moon and they all die.
Why: We tried to find reasons for excitement with this team but oh look a squirrel. Ken Whisenhunt is an upgrade at head coach, Justin Hunter could have a breakout year at WR, and the new defensive scheme might eventually lead to improvements. Or it might not. We're not really sure we care. Is Jake Locker an NFL starter or not? Finding an answer to that question should be the goal for this franchise in 2014, because outside of that it's hey another squirrel.
Alright everyone, chime in with your thoughts on the AFC South.
What do you agree with and where am I dead wrong?

Somewhere in the last decade, audiences, and in turn financiers, fell out of love with the London-set romantic comedy, a subgenre that had almost single-handedly been keeping the British film industry alive, or at least somewhat in profit but Emma Thompson seemed to miss them as she chucked together Last Christmas, a thirsty little festive film eager to remind us all why we actually loved Love Actually in the first place.
Based on the song by Wham! because sure, Last Christmas tells the story of George Michael-obsessed, former Yugoslavian 26-year-old Kate (33-year-old Emilia Clarke, with a regular posh accent), a Disneyfied Fleabag whose foibles are cutesy rather than catastrophic. She works in a year-round Christmas store in Covent Garden dressed as an elf. But Kate really wants to be a professional singer although she's technically sort of homeless and lives on whatever couch she can find. She avoids her concerned mother (Thompson), exhausts her beleaguered boss (Michelle Yeoh), and frustrates her ever-decreasing circle of friends while struggling to make anything substantial last.
But then, in one of the clumsiest meet-cutes in recent memory, while dusting Christmas decorations, she spots a handsome stranger (Henry Golding) staring at a bird. After a dung on her face, the pair start to fall for each other and go on a number of geographically questionable saunters around the city. But why does he keep disappearing on her? Can she sort out her life? And would Richard Curtis approve of this? The spoiler-free answer to all three questions would be that you can probably figure it out from the first 20 minutes.
Thompson reportedly gained the blessing of George Michael before his death in 2016 and sees the film as a tribute to his music. One of the film's few plus points is the opportunity to listen to so many of his songs up on the big screen.
The combination of Michael's music, a cosy festive aesthetic, picturesque London scenery and an irresistible fascination over what the plot morphs into does make Last Christmas sort of digestible but this really is a clunky, charmless disappointment. Last Christmas is, or at least should be, cancelled.

There's something to the "where everybody knows your name" nostrum when it comes to wine selection. Decent advice can be had from chain-style stores, but good luck finding the same person twice. Even if you know a name (let's say the fabulous Joe Baker at Gabriel's Superstore or super-helpful Heidi Holcomb at Central Market), their availability is a crap shoot. Enter the (possibly endangered) stand-alone shop, among which Saglimbeni's is preeminent. Not only can you get good advice from the owner, Joe, himself, but once you feel confident enough to admit to, say, Eric that you really do like sweet white wines, they will guide you to the right selection—and keep your secret safe. The Saturday (and sometimes Tuesday night) wine tastings allow you to sample selected wines for yourself, and there's no better way to build that confidence than first-hand experience.

Week 10 College Football Games That Will Impact NCAA Futures Bets
Posted By Chops on October 30, 2018
Last week was a bloodbath for ranked college football teams as 11 lost their matchups.
Teams like Texas (a game we warned about) and Florida saw their playoff dreams extinguished.
Georgia and Washington State saw their title odds improve, although both have tough tasks this week.
SEC title game spots are up for grabs on Saturday as there are some massive matchups.
Looking into the futures…
No game is bigger than Alabama (#1, -210 at FanDuel Sportsbook to win National Championship) vs. LSU (#4, +2900). Alabama opened as a two-touchdown favorite at LSU, making this the most points the Tigers have been an underdog at home since 1997. At stake is a spot as the SEC West representative in the real National Title SEC Championship game. A loss would set Alabama up in a similar position as last year, where they'd still likely make the playoffs despite not participating in the SEC title game. A win by LSU would certainly improve their +2000 and set up a rematch with most likely Georgia for the SEC crown.
If this sounds somewhat familiar, it is. That's exactly what happened last year. Auburn beat both Georgia and Alabama in the regular season, but lost to Georgia in the SEC title game and Alabama slipped into the playoffs. LSU is simply this year's Auburn. An LSU win would surely see their +2000 improve, potentially to a +1000.
Speaking of Georgia (#6, +1600), the Bulldogs face off against the surprising Kentucky Wildcats (#10, +10000) for the right to be the SEC East rep against the winner of 'Bama vs. LSU. Georgia is a 9.5 favorite on the road against Kentucky, and FiveThirtyEight gives the Dawgs a 71% shot at winning. Some of Georgia's futures improvement will hinge on if LSU can pull off the upset against 'Bama. Vegas will surely like Georgia's title chances more if it has to go through LSU for the SEC title as opposed to Alabama.
Michigan (#5, +1600) has two more big hurdles to clear to have a shot at the playoffs, the first being this weekend at home against Penn State (#14, +10000). While a win won't improve Michigan's futures much (their match-up against #8 Ohio State carries too much weight), a loss all but submarines Michigan's title odds.
One last match-up worth paying attention to is Washington State (#10, +10000) vs. Cal. Washington St. is the PAC-12's only hope for playoff consideration, and Cal is no joke even as a 10.5-point dog. Expect Washington St's futures to tick upward with a win.

Precisely what is Spice G-6565 phone unlocking ?
The majority of service providers lock their phones to their network, preventing you from making use of your phone on some other carriers. Basically , they want to retain your business because the phone can only work solely on their Network. Phone unlocking is a method of releasing the Network lock from the phone. Spice G-6565 Unlocking can be accomplished by either ordering an unlock code that is calculated from your Spice G-6565 unique IMEI number or by downloading unlocking computer software to unlock your phone directly. Notice: An network unlocked 2G phone will not accept a 3G simcard. However an network unlocked 3G phone will certainly take and work with a 2G phone. 3G handsets have reverse compatible use which permits them to recognize and work with a 2G simcard On the other hand, an un-locked 2G phone is unable to recognise the more modern 3G/4G sim card technology.
Is Spice G-6565 unlocking illegal?
How do I determine if my Spice G-6565 phone is locked ?
Should you not have access to a SIM card from another carrier then there exists a less scientific technique you could use to check if your Spice G-6565 phone is locked. Just simply look to see whether your carrier has placed their company logo on your Spice G-6565 phone any where. Just to illustrate in the united kingdom orange always lock their phones additionally they usually "badge" their Spice G-6565 handsets with their own Orange company logo possibly on the front part or even the back of the Spice G-6565 handset.
PUK represents Personal unblocking Code. You must enter it should you have typed your personal pin code wrong. This acts like a security feature on your Spice G-6565 phone. Should you not have your PUK code , you should speak to your Network provider who will supply the PUK code after a number of security checks.
Unlock your Spice G-6565 by unlock Code is substantially the quickest method to unlock your Spice G-6565 phone. You can simply purchase your Spice G-6565 unlock code from a web page which will later e-mail your Spice G-6565 unlock code to you so you simply enter the Spice G-6565 unlock code into your phone. Straightforward as that and the majority of web site will send you the code within a day or so and some are speedy. You may also request the Spice G-6565 unlock code from your carrier.
Where can I get my Spice G-6565 Phone Unlocked?
Will unlocking my Spice G-6565 void the warranty ?
If the carrier who locked the Spice G-6565 phone agrees and supplies you with the code to unlock your Spice G-6565 then is entirely acceptable but will not influence your warranty. If however you unlock the Spice G-6565 by any other approach you are going to completely void the warranty and void any upcoming the help of the service provider or manufacture.

What's Next for Anthony Joshua?
A few nights ago in Madison Square Garden , we saw Anthony Joshua make his debut in America and it didn't go as many expect, myself included. Don't get me wrong, I knew Ruiz was being underestimated but I didn't predict him winning but he shocked the world but stopping him in the seventh round. What's interesting about this is Joshua didn't seem himself, he looked chilled in his entrance but when introductions were being done, he started chewing his mouth guard. After the fight, he didn't seem too bothered he lost, he even took pictures with fans so what happened? Nobody really knows which is extremely bizarre but what is next for former heavyweight champion, Anthony Joshua?
Before we say what's next, it feels like we need to say what's led Joshua up to the future and that includes beating names such as; Dillian Whyte, Wladimir Klitschko, Carlos Takam, Alexander Povetkin, Joseph Parker, Charles Martin and even Breezeale. In my opinion, he's got the greatest resume in present heavyweight boxing and I don't think it's even close. Joshua was set to clash with Jarrell Miller however the fight was called off due to Miller failing a handful of drug tests. Miller was quickly replaced by Andy Ruiz Jr who the majority of boxing fans overlooked and underestimated and then the fight came and we obviously know what happened.
So what is next for Joshua? I think it has to be a rematch - I can't imagine Joshua fighting anybody else other than Ruiz and that fight just needs to happen. After this, he can fight the winner of Fury/Wilder but I think if Joshua does win then he needs to think about his fighting schedule as he's fought twice in the last 15 months. If he does win, he need to make sure he fights more frequently and make sure that he doesn't overlook his opponents.

Aloha 'Oe
by Queen Lili'uokalani
Album: albums by various artists (1878)
This was written by Queen Lili'uokalani (the last Hawaiian monarch) in 1878. Lili'uokalani intended this to be a love song but it ended up being a farewell song. It has since become a worldwide traditional classic farewell song. English lyrics were added in 1923 as well as an alternate title: "Farewell to Thee."
Legend has it that Queen Lili'uokalani wrote this song while imprisoned in the 'Iolani Palace during the annexation of Hawai'i to the US, but this is not entirely true. The true story is as follows: she visited the Maunawili Ranch in O'ahu, where Edwin Boyd resided. While riding home on horseback to Honolulu, she turned to look at the view of Kaneohe Bay and suddenly saw Colonel James Boyd and a young Maunawili lady. The inspiration for the song came when she saw the two people slowly and affectionately bid each other farewell. Twenty years later, she used this song as a farewell to Hawai'i as Hawai'i lost its independence and became part of the US.
Elvis Presley covered this for the soundtrack of the 1961 movie Blue Hawaii, which he also starred in. >>
Suggestion credit:
Jerro - New Alexandria, PA, for all above
This was covered by Johnny Cash on American VI: Ain't No Grave, the sixth and final collaboration between The Man in Black and producer Rick Rubin. During the 10-year period in which they were recording together, Rubin and Cash would take turns in sending each other unexpected songs they wanted to try recording. Rubin described this to Mojo magazine March 2010 as "a very bizarre choice" of Cash's. "A Hawaiian song that Johnny always wanted to sing but never seemed to fit anywhere. It's not cheesy at all. It's very moving."

Lyrics to Aloha 'Oe
Gerald from Pearl City, HiAloha Lino, you are on the right track, Do not give up about the song our Queen Liliu'okalani wrote, Because it's from her heart, and it sure never be forgotten, Pray hard and it will come to you what you are looking for .The Shining Star had Explode into three little Shining Star over me from the sky well holding Queen Liliu`okalani song she wrote Aloha Oe. made me understand the meaning of the song . the three little Shining Star was the meaning of Aloha HELLO,LOVE and GOODBYE. I could not believe what I saw with my own eyes, It was a beautiful sight. I know it was the Queen spirit, it were beautiful like her heart. Keep searching
Evan from Honolulu, HiHey Lino I'm from Hawaii born and raised and part Hawaiian and I just would like to tell you we youngsters still love this song and me as an individual am still a bit upset on what happened but understand that what is done is done so all I can do is try and preserve the little culture we have left and I just want to say thank you for researching this. It makes me happy to know people still want to preserve our culture. Keep going Imua!
Lalah from Wasilla, AkHey Lino, maybe this song has waned in popularity in its original home but good National songs have a way of coming back in a generation. Good luck with your research and preserve it for them. What about the Hawaiian War Chant? I haven't heard it in years. Ray Charles singers recorded it with brass back up and it was catchy. Years later I found out that Hawaiian warriors would stamp their feet and wave their spears while yelling the war chant just before they battled. Perhaps the first white to hear it was Captian Cook moments before they ran him through. Ask any Hawaiian, I bet they're still proud of that! At least enough to provide you some research.
Lino from San Francisco, CaI have been working on the history of "Aloha Oe" for some time, hoping to write a good article with my findings. I have run into snags along the road but I am not going to give up the ship! Perhaps the people of Hawaii, particularly the young sprouts, have grown tired of Queen Liliu'okalani's famed melody. It, like other famous world-class songs--"Cielito lindo," "O Sole mio," "Santa Lucia" and others--has suffered from overkill over the long years since its birth. Still it remains a very special song and one with a colorful history. George S. Kanahele mentioned that "minor controversy has surrounded its origin." This may be somewhat of an understatement, yet it adds to the fascination of this shining star of the Hawaiian Hit Parade!
