The Uilleann Pipes, sometimes known in English as the Union Pipes, is a traditional Irish form of bagpipes. Unlike the better-known Scottish Highland Pipes, which are inflated when the player blows into the bag, the Uilleann Pipes are inflated by a small set of bellows held under the player’s arm. These particular pipes are tuned to a specific key (usually D, which is also a common key for the Irish diatonic button accordion to be tuned to, and which also happens to be a key that lends itself well to fiddles— no coincidence here), but the pipes are chromatic, in that the player can play all full and half notes within a two-octave range....

The leak detection pump is the component that often triggers those “Check Engine” warning lights when it detects small leaks that would be hard to see.

“I can’t fit all that in there,” my dad said, incredulous, as he looked from his pile of clothes to the brand-new Samsonite carry-on my mom had purchased years prior (but which had yet to see any use).“I bet you can,” I said, handing him a set of packing cubes I picked up for him that morning in anticipation of just such a response.Earlier that week, I had challenged him to go carry-on-only for the flight to our first-ever father-daughter cruise — and my dad’s first cruise in nearly 50 years....
