Australia put in a below par performance before claiming an unconvincing 22-19 victory over Italy in Florence on Saturday.
Australia put in a below par performance before claiming an unconvincing 22-19 victory over Italy in Florence on Saturday.
A superb second half fightback almost saw the home side pulling off a draw but a penalty from their fly-half Luciano Orquera, in the 79th minute, sailed just wide of the posts.
Italy came agonisingly close to taking the lead in the 67th minute when Orquera put through a perfectly-timed chip kick which bounced just in front of the Wallabies' try-line.
Captain Sergio Parisse was the player who gave chase but a wicked bounce denied him of what would have been a certain try.
It was a game of two halves for the Wallabies who dominated during the first 40 and held a deserved 22-6 lead at the break.
Their highlight of the game came in the 18th minute when Michael Hooper recovered a loose ball whichl went out to the backs and Kurtley Beale offloaded to Nick Cummins who got in for his second Test try in as many weeks.
Earlier Orquera and Berrick Barnes traded penalties but after Cummins' try, which Barnes converted, Australia added nine further points through a brace of penalties from Beale and another three-pointer from Barnes.
Orquera landed another place-kick on the half hour mark and when the players headed into the sheds, at the interval, Australia were well-set for a huge victory.
The Azzurri had other plans, however, and struck back with a try by Robert Barbieri shortly after the restart.
This came thanks to a dropped pass from Australia which resulted In Italy hoofing the ball downfield before Barbieri dived onto it behind the try-line.
After Australia's early dominance, the roles were completely reversed in the second half with Italy dominating in most facets.
They put the visitors under huge pressure in the set-pieces and were camped inside the Wallabies' 22 for long periods. To their credit the Wallabies' defence held firm and they kept several Italian surges towards their try-line at bay with courageous first-time tackles.
After converting his side's five-pointer, Orquera added two more penalties and although he had a chance to get the well deserved draw for the hosts it wasn't to be and the visitors held on to their narrow lead until the end.

Winter safety and trip planning © Parks Canada
Study the trail description and park map; choose an objective suitable for the least experienced member in your party. With changing snow and weather conditions, avalanche hazard may exist on much of the terrain in Waterton including most of the backcounty trails. See Avalanches below for more information.
If the terrain you plan on visiting involves avalanche hazard you will need additional training and equipment.
All backcountry travellers are responsible for their own decisions and safety, and should be well informed about the type of terrain they will encounter. Be aware that there are specific travel restrictions that apply to custodial groups (those which include minors without their legal guardians) between Nov 15 and April 30. Consult the Avalanche Terrain Exposure Scale (ATES) and Avalanche Terrain Ratings for Waterton Lakes National Park to help determine if your planned objective is suitable for you.
Check the current weather forecast, road report, current trail conditions, and avalanche bulletin.
Gather emergency contact information:
Travel with a friend or group.
Tell someone where you are going and your expected return time. Consider using the Hazardous Activity Self Registration located at the warden office. Be prepared for changes in weather and for emergencies.
Here is list of items that you should consider bringing on any winter outing in Waterton:
Almost any moderately steep slope, under the right conditions, may release its snow load as an avalanche. Even small avalanches can be deadly. Much of the mountain area within Waterton Lakes National Park is avalanche terrain. In addition, most of the backcountry trails in Waterton traverse avalanche terrain.
If the terrain you plan on visiting involves some avalanche hazard you will need:
Visitor safety technicians produce a regular Avalanche Bulletin for Waterton Lakes National Park from December 1 to April 15. Updated avalanche bulletins are posted on Tuesday and Friday throughout the winter season. Visitors should be aware that periods of avalanche hazard may still exist in Waterton Lakes National Park outside of the regular winter season. For more detailed mountain conditions information contact us. On weekends you can reach the Waterton visitor safety technicians during business hours by calling our dispatch centre in Banff at 403-762-1473 and asking to be redirected.
Relevant Links:
Terrain requires common sense, proper equipment, first aid skills, and the discipline to respect avalanche warnings. Simple terrain is usually low avalanche risk, ideal for novices gaining backcountry experience. These trips may not be entirely free from avalanche hazards, and on days when the Backcountry Avalanche Advisory is rated 'Poor', you may want to re-think any backcountry travel that has exposure to avalanches – stick to groomed x-country trials or within the boundaries of a ski resort.
Challenging - Class 2
Terrain requires skills to recognize and avoid avalanche prone terrain – big slopes exist on these trips. You must also know how to understand the Public Avalanche Bulletin, perform avalanche self rescue, basic first aid, and be confident in your route finding skills. You should take an Avalanche Skills Training Level 1 course (AST 1) prior to travelling in this type of terrain. If you are unsure of your own, or your group's ability to navigate through avalanche terrain – consider hiring a professional ACMG certified guide.
Complex - Class 3
Terrain demands a strong group with years of critical decision making experience in avalanche terrain. There can be no safe options on these trips, forcing exposure to big slopes. A recommended minimum is that you or someone in your group should have taken an Avalanche Skills Training Level 2 course (AST 2) and have several years of back country experience. Be prepared! Check the Public Avalanche Bulletin regularly, and ensure that everyone in your group is up for the task and aware of the risk. This is serious country – not a place to consider unless you are confident in the skills of your group. If you are uncertain – consider hiring a professional, ACMG certified guide.

Platinum Plating:
Platinum can be used as a finish coating over sterling silver or copper alloys. Its bright, pure luster enhances the brilliance of gemstones and does not discolor or oxidize. Platinum plating is also characterized by its good resistance to surface abrasion, making jewelry pieces more durable against everyday and long-term wear. Over time, platinum plating will wear off and therefore will require re-plating.
To care for your plated jewelry items:
Amethyst, the most precious member of the quartz family, exhibits purple shades ranging from pale lilac to deep purple, sometimes exhibiting reddish or rose overtones. Very deep-colored amethysts are the finest and most highly valued . Some stones are so over-saturated with color they have areas that are blacked out, which can negatively impact their value. Paler shades, sometimes called "Rose of France," were common in Victorian jewelry. Banding—darker and lighter zones of color—is also a common occurrence. Occasionally, amethyst is even found combined with its sister quartz, citrine, into a single stone called ametrine.
The birthstone for February, amethyst is an extremely popular gem for jewelry because of its regal color, variety of sizes and shapes, affordability and wide range of hues. It also is the recommended gem for couples celebrating their 6 th and 17 th wedding anniversaries. With a hardness of 7.0 on the Mohs Scale , a methyst can occur as long prismatic crystals that have six-sided pyramids at either end, or can form as drusies that are crystalline crusts that only show the pointed terminations.
The ancient Greeks believed that amethyst made one immune to the effects of alcohol. In fact, the name even comes from the Greek word amethystos, which means "not drunken." Legend has it that the amethyst originated from Bacchus, the god of wine. Bacchus became angry at the mortals and vowed that the next mortal to cross his path would be eaten by tigers. Amethyst, a beautiful young maiden, was on her way to worship the goddess, Diana. Diana turned her into colorless quartz to keep her from being eaten. Bacchus observed the miracle and repented his hasty decision. He poured wine over the young maiden, leaving her feet and legs colorless. This is the reason that amethyst crystals are usually uneven in color and have a colorless base at the bottom. Because amethyst was believed to prevent drunkenness, wine goblets were often carved from it in ancient Greece. Today, the gem still symbolizes sobriety.
Amethyst has been a part of history throughout the ages. Evidence suggests that prehistoric humans used amethysts for decoration as early as 25,000 B.C. Legends suggest that the Egyptian queen Cleopatra wore an amethyst signet ring, as did Saint Valentine, who bared an amethyst engraved with the figure of Cupid. During medieval times, people used the stone as medication to stay awake and alert. Leonardo Da Vinci claimed that amethyst could dissipate evil thoughts and quicken the intelligence. In some legends, the stone represents piety, celibacy and dignity. In the Middle Ages, for instance, the gem was an important ornamentation for the Catholic Church and other religions. It was considered the stone of bishops, and they still often wear amethyst rings. In Tibet, amethyst is considered sacred to Buddha and rosaries are often made from it. Amethyst has also long been a favorite of kings and queens for its royal purple hues that symbolize wisdom, strength and confidence. Amethysts are even featured in the British Crown Jewels and were worn by Catherine the Great.
Amethyst's availability and magical qualities make it the stone of preference in ancient lore and mysticism. As a meditation stone, it is said to quiet the mind, promote contemplation, sharpen psychic powers and uplift the spirit. It is a stone of deep wisdom. Folklore says it can quicken the wit, calm fears and ward off anger. It has a royal purple essence that is said to lend courage to travelers, scare off thieves and protect travelers from harm. Placed under the pillow or worn to bed, there are claims it promotes peaceful sleep and pleasant dreams. Amethyst can also be worn to supposedly make the wearer gentle, amiable and happy.
The stone is mined in Brazil, Uruguay, Bolivia and Argentina, as well as in Zambia, Namibia and other African nations. Very dark amethyst in small sizes also is mined in Australia. But the ideal for fine quality amethyst was set by a Siberian variety, often called Russian or Uralian amethyst, which is now considered a defunct source. Generally, South American amethyst tends to come in larger sizes than African amethyst, but the African variety has a reputation for having deeper color intensity and is therefore considered more valuable. The African version also is harder to come by than amethyst mined from South America. Most of today's amethyst comes out of Brazil.
Lune de France is a very special variety of amethyst that rarely comes to market. From the northwest state of Amazon in Brazil, this gemstone comes from the Maraba mine. This lovely lilac gemstone features a unique velvet-like quality that at first observation can be confused for an opal or moonstone. The gemstone's internal structure contains natural, cloud-like veils of microscopic inclusions that are extremely minute, even under high power magnification. These inclusions cause the incoming light to scatter and reflect, thus creating an opalescent effect. While a similar inclusion structure can be expected in rose quartz, it almost never occurs in an amethyst. Lune de France features a natural lilac color and retains excellent transparency allowing it to be faceted for maximum light play.
Iolite gets its name from its sensational color, using the Greek words ios (violet) and lithos (stone). The stone, often referred to as water sapphire, cordierite or dichroite, was used by the Vikings as a navigational tool and came to be known as "Vikings' Compass." When Viking explorers ventured far into the Atlantic Ocean, away from any coastline that could help them determine position, they were able to navigate safely by looking through iolite lenses that allowed them to find the exact position of the sun.
The property that made iolite so valuable to the Vikings was the gem's pleochroic property, which is the display of different colors when viewed from different directions (like a modern-day polarized filter used in sunglasses). A cube cut from iolite will look violet-blue from one side, clear as water from the other and honey yellow from the top.
Pleochroism may have been helpful in navigation, but it makes a gem cutter's job quite difficult. If iolite is not cut from exactly the right direction, its color will not show to its best advantage. When cut properly, the stone is usually a violet blue and can be obtained in sizes up to 5.00 carats relatively easily. Iolite ranks a 7.0-7.5 on the Mohs Scale and is readily available and affordable. Today, it is mined in Brazil, India, Mozambique, Sri Lanka and Zimbabwe. The Vikings probably mined iolite from deposits in Norway and Greenland.
Traditionally given as a 21 st anniversary gift, iolite is thought to bring harmony to relationships. It is also said to balance the masculine and feminine aspects of one's own character, bringing harmony and enabling that person to enjoy each moment. Iolite is believed to heighten psychic abilities by aiding and encouraging people along their spiritual paths. It is said to enhance curiosity and achievement, and aid in money management. Iolite is also believed to possess the power to guide lost sailors to the brilliance of the sun, so that they may find their way home.
Peridot features a lively yellow-green color that is transparent with an oily luster. The iron that creates peridot's color is an integral part of its structure, so the gem is only found in various shades of green. It is most prized in lime hues, but Italian peridot is a rich olive color and popular American peridot is a beautiful light yellow-green. The Romans called peridot "evening emerald" because its exquisite green color was said to glow at night. This is perhaps because the stone exhibits double refraction, meaning that when looking through the stone, objects appear double. So when looking into a faceted peridot, the number of bottom facets appears to be double the actual number, creating a glittering sensation.
Pronounced PEAR-A-DOE, the word "peridot" comes from the French word meaning "gem." It is the gem variety of the mineral olivine and ranks a 6.5-7.0 on the Mohs Scale.
Born in cauldrons of fire, peridot is considered the "volcanic gem," since small crystals of it are often found in the rocks created by volcanoes. In fact, Hawaiian legend called peridot the divine tears wept by Pele, goddess of the volcano. The island of Oahu even has beaches made out of olivine grains, but they are much too small to cut into peridot. Samples of the gem also have been discovered in meteorites that have fallen to Earth, many of which are more than a billion years old.
Peridot traces its jewelry roots to 3,500 years ago. The stone was first mined by the ancient Egyptians on the volcanic island of Zebargad in the Red Sea. Known as the "serpent isle," it was infested with poisonous snakes that interfered with mining activity until one Pharaoh had them all driven into the sea. Today, Native Americans mine most peridot on the San Carlos Reservation in Arizona. Interestingly, a lmost all peridot sold in Hawaii is from Arizona, despite the fact that peridot is produced by Hawaii's volcanoes. The gemstone is also found in Norway, Brazil, China, Egypt, Italy, Myanmar and Sri Lanka. An exciting new deposit was discovered in Pakistan in 1994, yielding some of the finest peridot ever seen, including one stone that weighed more than 300.00ct.
Peridot is among the oldest known stones and has been mined as a gem for thousands of years. As early as 1575 to 1350 B.C., the ancient Egyptians used peridot beads in their ceremonial jewelry. In fact, it is believed the stone was one of the favorite gems of Cleopatra and that some of the "emeralds" she wore were actually peridot.
Ancient Egyptians also carved small drinking vessels out of large chunks of peridot. Priests would drink soma from them in rituals, believing the soma would put them in touch with the nature goddess, Isis. Legend has it that King Soloman traded cedar trees from Lebanon for 12 soma drinking cups and 144 liters of soma. The Egyptians made this trade for ramp logs to build their pyramids at Gisa, while King Soloman was said to have been enlightened by drinking soma from the peridot cups. Today, Mexican hill tribes still drink soma from green glazed cups to put them in touch with nature and their ancestors' spirits. Additionally, some Native American Indians in Arizona use tea made from peyote ground with peridot crystals in their rituals.
Peridot has also been important to other cultures throughout history. Late in the Ottoman Empire (1300 to 1900), peridot was a highly prized gem and Turkish Sultans amassed some of the world's largest collections of the gemstone. It is mentioned in the Bible under the name of "chrysolite," and was used to decorate medieval churches with samples that were most likely carried back to Europe by the Crusaders. Large stones weighing more than 200.00ct adorn the Shrine of the Three Magi at the Cologne Cathedral in Germany.
Throughout the ages, peridot has been believed to hold mystical powers of protection and healing. The ancients regarded the stone as a symbol of the sun and wore it in amulets to prevent nightmares and drive away evil spirits. It was even favored by pirates to protect them against evil. Peridot was said to be useful for calming raging angers, curing nervous afflictions and promoting quiet sleep. It was also believed to strengthen any medicine drunk from goblets carved from the stone. South American Shamans used peridot to ward off snakebites and the evil spirits who have taken the form of mosquitoes who bring the sleeping sickness. They also say the heating of magic mushroom tea by peridot takes them on trips to the ancestor heavens.
Today, peridot is believed to bring the wearer success, peace and good luck. To be most powerful, it is said that the stone should be mounted in gold and surrounded with small diamonds. With powers that are thought to bring protection and health, modern folklore also says it can be used to attract love and calm anger while soothing nerves and dispelling negative emotions. T he gem is believed to protect the wearer from bad dreams when set in gold.
Peridot is considered the birthstone of August. Given as a symbol of fame, dignity and protection, this gem is also traditionally given to couples celebrating their 16 th wedding anniversaries.
Chrome Diopside:
Chrome diopside, also called Russian diopside, offers an intense forest green color. Because it is the most affordable gemstone with a pure, rich green color, many jewelry designers predict chrome diopside will be the world's leading emerald substitute by the end of the decade. It is mostly available in smaller sizes, with the rare larger sizes becoming much more expensive and too dark. A 26.17ct oval cut chrome diopside may be the largest known example of the faceted stone, but there is also a 25.33ct stone that is brighter and more intense in color.
Chrome diopside is relatively soft, with a hardness of 5.5 on the Mohs Scale. Mostly mined in Yakutia and Siberia, the liberalization of the former Soviet Union's economy has made chrome diopside more available, and more popular, than ever before.
Ouro Verde
Meaning "green gold" in Portuguese, ouro verde is a type of quartz found in Brazil. Its name comes from its color, which is a vivid chartreuse hue with yellow highlights. Most ouro verde today is produced by heat-treating (irradiating) amethyst or yellow quartz, which gives the transparent stone its pale, golden-green color. Also known as "green gold", the name of this gem can also be spelled "oro verde." It ranks a 7.0 on the Mohs Scale and is spectacular for jewelry.
No other gemstone discovery has made a bigger impact on the jewelry market than the recent newcomer, tanzanite. Its luscious color, and the fact that the stone is found in only one location throughout the world, makes tanzanite an exceptionally rare, valuable and highly sought-after gem.
Tanzanite's mesmerizing saturation of color is what has made the stone so popular. It is the blue variety of the mineral zoisite and occurs in a beautiful range of colors. Rarely pure blue, the gem almost always displays signature overtones of purple. In smaller sizes, it tends toward light tones such as lavender, while in larger sizes, the gem typically displays deeper, richer blues and purples. The finest quality tanzanite is usually deep blue or violet, which is extremely spectacular in sizes above ten carats.
Tanzanite is pleochroic, meaning it shows the appearance of several colors in the same stone, depending on perspective. From different angles, the gem can appear blue, purple, yellow, grey or brown. Most rough crystals show a large proportion of brown shades, since tanzanite in its natural form is typically brown with red, orange, yellow or bronze hues.
Gem cutters may change this coloring by heating the stone to 500°C. This heat treatment releases the intense violet-blue colors for which the stone is famous. According to legend, the effect of heat on tanzanite was first discovered when brown zoisite crystals were caught on fire by a lightning strike. Local cattle herders noticed the beautiful blue crystals sparkling in the sun and picked them up, becoming the first tanzanite collectors.
The gem was first discovered near the base of Mount Kilimanjaro in the Merelani Hills of east-African Tanzania in 1967. This breathtaking location is the only known mining site on Earth for tanzanite. Right after its discovery, New York jeweler Louis Comfort Tiffany was presented with the first stones. Knowing it was going to be a sensation, he recommended finding a new name for the gem, since the gemological denomination "blue zoisite" reminded him of the word "suicide." Tiffany suggested the name tanzanite, derived from its place of occurrence, and the new name quickly became established on the market. Tiffany & Co introduced the stone to the public in a spectacular promotional campaign two years after it had been discovered. It was enthusiastically celebrated as the "Gemstone of the 20th Century."
A noted 122.70ct faceted tanzanite dubbed the "Midnight Blue" is on display at the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C. In 1996, a 255.00ct tanzanite crystal was discovered near Arusha, but because of its many inclusions, it proved to be of little market value. Tanzanite ranks a hardness of 6.5-7.0 on the Mohs Scale and has become the traditional gift for couples celebrating their 24th anniversaries.
High-quality and larger-size tanzanites can be sold at extremely premium prices. Although demand for this beautiful gem continues to grow, supply shortages in recent years have hampered production and caused price fluctuations. In 1998, the weather phenomenon known as "El Nino" soaked Tanzania with heavy rains during what should have been the drought period. When the monsoons hit, the groundwater swells were high and caused devastating floods. Mines caved in and all hopes of finding additional tanzanite rough were swept away.
Because it is such a new gemstone, there is little folklore, superstitions or healing properties surrounding tanzanite. Some believe the stone helps people to be more practical, realistic and honest. It is thought to uplift and open the heart while helping one cope with change.

Alison Rhodes, "The
Safety Mom"
National Child Safety Expert, Alison Rhodes, "The Safety Mom," is one of the country's
leading child safety authorities, providing tips and advice to parents on a broad
range of issues facing all children - newborns to teens. Read
Sudden Infant Death Syndrome, or SIDS, is a tragedy that strikes nearly 3,000 seemingly healthy babies every year. Studies have shown that as many as one-third of these victims may have suffocated when put to sleep on soft bedding such as pillows, comforters, or sheepskins.
When you place your baby on his back or tummy amidst soft bedding or lots of covers, his face can become obscured by the bedding, causing him to suffocate or "rebreathe" his carbon dioxide-rich, exhaled air, rather than fresh, oxygen-rich air. To prevent these tragic fatalities, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, the American Academy of Pediatrics, and the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development have revised their recommendations on safe bedding practices when putting infants down to sleep. The following are the revised sleep recommendations for infants under 12 months:
Place your baby on his/her back on a firm tight-fitting mattress in a crib that meets current safety standards.
Remove all pillows, quilts, comforters, sheepskins, stuffed toys, and other soft items from the crib.
To keep your baby warm at night, consider dressing your baby in a sleeper or warm pajama instead of using a blanket.
If you do use a blanket, tuck it around the crib mattress and make sure it comes up only as far as your baby's chest. Keep the blanket away from his or her face.
Make sure your baby's head remains uncovered during sleep.
Do not place your baby on a waterbed, sofa, soft mattress, pillow, or other soft surface to sleep.
Avoid overheating; use light clothes for sleep and keep the room at about 70°F.
Bed sharing or co-sleeping, when your baby sleeps with you in your bed, is a controversial topic with regard to SIDS. Some studies have shown that bed sharing may reduce the risk of SIDS, while other studies have shown that it may in fact increase the risk under certain circumstances. If you do choose to bring your baby into your bed, be sure the sleep surface is not too soft and never place a quilt, blanket, pillow, comforter, or other similar soft material under your baby. In addition, never smoke around your baby or use substances such as alcohol or drugs, which may impair your ability to wake if your baby is having difficulty breathing.

Skip to comments.Kerry regales Berliners with tales of divided city
Posted on 02/26/2013 7:47:29 AM PST by Pan_Yan
Speaking at a town hall meeting Tuesday, Kerry spoke a few sentences of passable German to the delight of a crowd in a packed Internet cafe before regaling the audience with tales of his boyhood in Berlin in 1954.
He recalled a clandestine bicycle ride into communist East Berlin. "I saw the difference between east and west. I saw the people wearing darker clothing. There were fewer cars. I didn't feel the energy or the movement."
When he returned home, Kerry said, his father "got very upset with me and said: `You could have created an international incident. I could have lost my job.' So I lost my passport, and I was grounded and I never made another trip like that."
(Excerpt) Read more at charter.net ...
Kerry said ,Americans have a right to be stupid ,must be talking about himself
For Kerry to pretend that he was not (and is not) a Communist sympathizer is about as believable as when Obama (either of them, actually) pretends that he loves America...
Was this bicycle ride into East Berlin seared... seared into his memory? Obama has made some interesting cabinet selections that will serve to distract and deflect from his own idiocy. As Hillary Clinton was thrown under the bus, so too will Kerry.
"It was Christmas and I was wearing my magic hat"
"Kerry regales Berliners with tales of divided city"
I remember Berlin when it was divided. I went through Checkpoint Charlie (in uniform), walked around East Berlin, saw it myself.
Very interesting how John Kerry "regaled" about the place. We all know on which side of that "divide" Mr. Kerry stood, as a young man.
I'll be glad when the phoneys are dead and gone ... except ... I'll prolly go first.
When I was a civilian employee at Ramstein AB in the 70s some friends and I went to W. Berlin via the troop train. We traveled through E. Germany and I commented to the friends when we got into W. Berlin that it was like being in a negative print of a picture and that when we crossed the border into the West the negative print had developed into a full color picture. That was how dramatic the differences were between E. and W. Germany. Scary and that thought has stayed with me all these years.
How old would Kerry have been in 1954?
He was born in 1943, he was a eleven.....really he rode his bike into East Germany.
You don't just ride across commie border "clandestinely" ESPECIALLY ON THE BIKE, lying skunk!
Jon's first early attempt at unilateral surrender to a fascist regime. Some people are just born with the talent.
I'm starting a twitter hashtag #johnkerrytalesofheroism
#johnkerrytalesofheroism he stowed away on apollo 13 and saved the poor frightened astronauts from certain doom.
#johnkerrytalesofheroism Only surviving Athenian from the Battle of Thermopylae
Oh, and he had passport at 11, and he used it clandestinely????
He probable went to East to tell them how the West is bombing villages with chulren...
Hahhah hahhhaaah haaaaaaa....
Whata Sickretary of Shtate!!!
Beats Hitlery !
Too bad he didn't run into the Stasi. He could have met "Jenjis Kaaahhn" up close and personal.
I think a better story is how he rented a plane, tried to fly under the Golden Gate Bridge but had to turn back, because he was hitting seagulls, who hit so hard they were stuck in the wing with their webbed feet sticking out.
Looks like he's going to be fun to watch. It's unfortunate that he has a job that can get us all killed, though.
He still has the hat...
"You don't just ride across commie border clandestinely ESPECIALLY ON THE BIKE"
So clandestine that he used his diplo passport at the checkpoint.
#johnkerrytalesofheroism Led Moses out of the desert after 40 years
If he had is way, Berlin would still be divided.
Did he get a Purple Heart for scraping his knee when he fell off his bike?
FACT CHECK! How could anyone inadvertently ride a bike into East Berlin. But in the slight chance this could happen, how could anyone ride a bike out of East Berlin?

Wall didn't go up until 1961, it would have been very simple to cross into East Berlin at the time. In most cases, as easy as crossing the street.
Did he sneek them a peek at his lucky hat? Maybe toss a few medals?
This is the World of Commander McBragg
Your hair will curl in the World of McBragg.
He fights monsters galore
And then asks for still more
Or so says the brag of McBragg.
When on the hill the marines plant a flag
They may be led by Commander McBragg.
With a cannon in hand
He can beat any band
Or so says the brag of McBragg.
Fencing and fighting and round table knighting
And slaying of dragons, too.
Shipping and sailing and great harpoon whaling
There's nothing McBragg can't do.
Hunting and trapping and gold miner mapping
And flying to Timbuktu.
Roping and riding and Indian guiding
Commander McBragg comes through.
This is the World of Commander McBragg
Your head will whirl in the World of McBragg.
He can do anything
In his world he's a king
Or so says the brag of McBragg.
"Some of the East German police were rude and suspicious. Others were suspicious and rude."
Forgive me if I find this story literally as fantastic as his Walter Mitty-esque "Christmas in Cambodia".
John Kerry is almost as much of an embarassment as his boss.
I think he would be more like Dr. Smith from Lost in Space. By stowing away he would have thrown the weight estimates off, thrown the ship off course, and cried "The pain! The pain!" like he had been hit in the butt with some Vietnamese rice.
Forgive me if I find this story literally as fantastic as his Walter Mitty-esque "Christmas in Cambodia".
John Kerry is almost as much of an embarassment as his boss.
Did you mean "Spartan", I thought Leonadis dismissed the Athenians.
Yes, American silver spoon babies on bicycles used to slip into East Berlin undetected all the time.
I can hear Joseph Cotten's voice in the background, "I never knew the old Vienna before the war, with its Strauss music, its glamour and easy charm - Constantinople suited me better..."
This story reminds me of a fat American CEO I once knew who, after a seven day visit to Bombay, came back and addressed an audience of Indian businessmen telling them "everything about India you need to know".
If you see the movie "One, Two, Three" which took place about a year before the Wall went up, it showed people coming in and out of East Berlin rather easily....(Just as long as you don't have a balloon saying "Russki Go Home" when riding your motorcycle through East Berlin ;))
Maybe someone will tell him that it's called Mumbai.
I'm sure Kerry's family was special but the 'losing my passport' comment caught my eye.
I was a military dependent in the 50's. We had ONE passport, with a picture of the entire family on it. When we returned to the States from Morocco, my baby brother had been added to the family, born in Morocco in 1955. His picture was stapled to the one of the rest of us, on the same passport.
Also, as military dependents, we knew what expectations were for our behavior, and no one I know would have been so stupid to have attempted what Kerry claims he did - crossing from one Berlin to another. How did he get his bicycle over that barbed wire, I wonder?
Love to have someone find proof that his story, as are most of the stories told by Dems in the higher echelon of the party, is full of crap.
Think how many people died trying to get out of East Berlin... if only they had watched him and done just as he did!

I own a duplex which gets it's water from a community well that runs three houses. In the house we have a 3/4" supply line that splits and runs both sides of our duplex. It's distributed via 1/2" copper pipe throughout the house. Incoming pressure is around 45 PSI. I live in one side and rent out the other. When anyone uses water in the house it dramatically affects everyone else, especially if taking a shower. I was considering various boosters such as the Flotec. Do pressure boosters work? When it kicks in will it affect my tenant? Any suggestions or other ideas are really appreciated. I'm in the process of remodeling so most of my plumbing is exposed and easily replaced.

I'm a girl that can wear a shoe for hours and I could not wear these longer than 30mins. The heel is curved which makes them really hard to stand in. Buy at your own risk.

The Critical Thinker
My name is Kristan T. Harris. I have run for political office and have worked a political grass roots campaign for Ron Paul. I was nominated and elected to the GOP platform committee in 2012. I am a huge advocate for liberty and freedom.I am a libertarian at heart. I am also a news junkie and love a good mystery.
New "Smart Lights" Allow NSA To Spy on You Using LED Technology
Kristan T. Harris | The Rundown Live
New cutting edge LED bulbs will now be able to send and receive data. These LED lights have been dubbed "Smart Lights".
The new LED bulbs will have the ability to read your license plate, listen in to your conversation, monitor your movements, detect the weather and even sniff out a dirty bomb, claims CBS. This raises questions about privacy.
Hugh Martin president of Sensity, the company who developed these new Smart lights claimed -"There is a motion sensor in each individual light."
So ultimately, the Smart Light technology will one day create a seamless global network grid to track every place we go, everything we buy, everything we do, everything we say and who we are with all the time.
There are about 4 billion outside lights in the world today. Imagine all of those lights connected in a global network .
It also brings into question has this been the plan all along? Former Republican President George W. Bush approved regulations as a condition of an energy bill he signed into law in 2007 banning all incandescent light bulbs by 2014.
Which subsequently allow you to have privacy in your home if you did not want to use one of these energy saving LED light bulbs that spy on you.

On Saturday, at approximately 3:30 p.m. the Emery County Sheriff's Office was notified by Ahren Cattles, John Cattles and Kevin Zimmerman that they were hiking in the Baptist Draw and upper Chute Canyon area. As they were hiking a slot canyon, they came across the remains of a human body.
Sheriff's deputies responded to the area to meet with the three men from Colorado and were shown where the body was located.
On Sunday morning Sheriff's Office personnel and Search and Rescue members responded back to the area and spend the remainder of the day hiking into the slot canyon and recovering the remains.
After the body was recovered, it was transported by the Department of Public Safety helicopter to the command area as well as transporting Sheriff's Office personnel.
The body was sent to the Utah State Medical Examiners Office, who has identified the body as Rose Backhaus of Colorado who was reported missing in November.

Italy beat Ireland for the first time since 1997 as they won 22-15 in Rome on Saturday, claiming their second win of Six Nations 2013.
Italy defeated Ireland for the first time since 1997 as they edged their visitors 22-15 in Rome on Saturday, claiming their second win of Six Nations 2013.
It was the perfect send-off for Italian prop Andrea Lo Cicero as the Azzurri finish the Championship in fourth, above the struggling Irish and French.
The victory was Italy's first over Ireland in Rome.
For Ireland though the worst could be yet to come as should France beat Scotland by 16 points with a try, then the Wooden Spoon would be theirs. It is also their worst-ever run in the Championship.
Italy wing Giovambattista Venditti was the game's only try scorer early in the second half while the Irish were left to rue three sin-binnings and three early injuries at the Stadio Olimpico on Saturday.
Ireland had the early momentum though and Paddy Jackson put the first of his 15 points on the board with a sixth-minute penalty after Leonardo Ghiraldini was blown for a tackle on Conor Murray.
However the visitors' luck soon ran out in a half which saw several of their players come off injured and iconic centre Brian O'Driscoll, possibly playing his last Ireland international, sent to the sin-bin.
Ireland were robbed several times at their own lineout and it was after Sergio Parisse out-jumped Donnacha Ryan deep in Irish territory that the referee whistled for a penalty which Orquera fired over to level on 13 minutes.
Italy resumed in positive fashion, Edoardo Gori dancing through several green shirts before offloading to Parisse at the halfway line where a lineout was called after he failed to release the ball quickly enough.
When Sean O'Brien failed to get up quickly enough after a tackle, Italy were awarded another penalty but Orquera's effort from 40 metres came off the upright.
It failed to faze the hosts, who went 6-3 up thanks to Orquera's penalty after Cian Healy failed to roll away after tackling Parisse.
Ireland suffered further setback when Keith Earls was brought down and forced off after appearing to injure his shoulder. Luke Marshall was then forced off holding his arm and O'Driscoll was sin-binned for a needless stamp on the chest of Favaro.
Italy ultimately failed to capitalise and it took a penalty from Gonzalo Garcia just before half-time to bring up their lead to 9-3, only for Ireland to reduce the arrears through another Jackson penalty on the stroke of half-time.
Italy had Ireland on the ropes in the opening few minutes of the second half and were finally rewarded with their only try of the game thanks to Venditti, who squeezed the ball over on the right. Orquera, from 35 metres out, converted to give Italy a 16-6 lead which had the crowd in raptures.
Ireland, however, came fighting back and cut the deficit through a Jackson penalty after Parisse was sent to the sin-bin for a trip on Madigan.
Jackson was spot-on again from over 40 metres moments later after Italy had failed to release, taking the score to 16-12 just before the hour.
With Parisse still sidelined, Ireland began to push deep into Italian territory and came close to making the breakthrough after a dominant 20-phase spell in which they finally had to settle for a penalty. Jackson converted for 16-15.
Parisse returned, but moments later it was to say farewell to a tearful Lo Cicero who ended his Italy career in the 64th minute and was replaced by Michele Rizzo.
Another chance to extend the lead was spurned when Garcia's penalty effort was short and wide. But when Orquera was restored to kicking duties minutes later he sent Italy 19-15 in front with another low effort 10 minutes from the final whistle.
After Parisse was brought down by several green shirts as he charged down the left Murray was sin-binned for a tripping offence.
Italy won yet another lineout and a subsequent penalty, with Orquera sealing victory in the final minute.
Man of the match: Italy scrum-half Eduardo Gori impressed at the base but for back-to-back strong showings from number fifteen, we go for Andrea Masi, whose chip into his hands before causing opposite number Rob Kearney to cough up the ball into touch was pretty special.
Moment of the match: It was an emotional occasion when Italy prop Andrea Lo Cicero left the field to a standing ovation in his final Test, but we have to go for the key try scored by Giovambattista Venditti. That score put Italy ten points up, which turned out to be enough of a cushion.
Villain of the match: Four yellow cards so take your pick…

Skip to comments.Facts show Democrats are job creators (barf alert)
Posted on 05/20/2012 3:20:42 PM PDT by bishop22
I delivered the faculty graduation address last weekend at the University of California, Berkeleys Goldman School of Public Policy. Its one of the nations best and the reason is its emphasis on rigorous data analysis. Any public policy wonk worth her salt must be focused on data in order to replicate policy successes.
(Excerpt) Read more at politico.com ...
Politico joke site.
Granholm is a joke.
I wonder if the Soviet-era Propagandists were as gleefully willing as our libtard whorenalists
April Fools!
Well, she's probably right if all you're talking about are government jobs.......
This claim is true. Well, all you have to do is redefine "job" to include "welfare recipient" and voila! Democrats are net job creators!
Public Sector maybe, real private sector? No way.
My thoughts is this a joke?
LOL! Okay Jenny. Okay.
Anyone with the slightest business acumen knows doing business in America has become a liability..
ONLY dumb businessmen attempt it.. the others move to more friendly countrys.. and areas..
Doing business is about profit.. not feelings..
UNLESS, of course, you have a federal or state government contract.. which is a scam..
but its still about profit.. feelings are feigned..
Bernays would be most excitedly proud
Jennifer Granholm 'Currently' spouting blather and nonsense....
The same Granholm that ran Michigan into the thriving state it is today?
The same Michigan with the highest unemployment in the country.
The same Michigan whose population declined since 2005 while the rest of the nation grew.
And unemployment is horrendous under Obama.
And she just makes it up out of whole cloth.
To this elite few belongs Jennifer Granholm.
Let us examine just how much of an example Granholm set regarding how liberal government policies impact job creation. Under Granholm, the Michigan economy lost an incredible 630,000 jobs and Michigans Per Capita GDP fell from 24th to 41st. In fact, Michigans unemployment averaged 37% higher than the national rate throughout Granhoms years in office. All of this happened while Granholm was imposing many of the liberal policies that she is now claiming are huge job creators."
...Wall street Journal
Jobs that Democrats create—probation officers, prison guards,political rally cleanup workers, chad inspectors,and propaganda journOlists.
Jennifer Granholm is arguing that a turd is gold bullion.
If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State. - Dr. Paul Joseph Goebbels, Propaganda Minister for Adolf Hitler
Let's not fall for the way Granholm frames the issue. Let's look at who has created job:
Henry Ford "invented" the mass production assembly line and created the most jobs of anyone for the next 70 years.
Bill Gates "invented" a way to market operating systems and software and has created the most jobs of anyone in the past 30 years. Bill Gates never invented the best operating system, nor the best application software. He invented a way for others to invent it. He created the most jobs, not just in the USA, but in the world. He turned 3rd world disaster cases into 1st world wonders in 25 years.
That Bill Gates is a liberal Democrat and the son of far leftist lawyer and activist is irrelevant. Bill Gates used capitalism..the invention of a marketing gimmick... to generate those jobs.,
We're getting a picture of what the USSR experienced since the late teens of the last century, in our country.
The poverty rate declined under President Lyndon B. Johnsons Great Society programs from 22.2 percent to 12.6 percent by 1970.Granholm should save the leftist propaganda for preaching to the choir.
Yeah True,Government Jobs,Thousands Of IRS agents and tax Collectors and Useless Bureaucrats that Produce exactly o
Sounds like she was pretty much at ground zero: the faculty graduation address at the University of California, Berkeleys Goldman School of Public Policy
Thanks bishop22. Jenny Grandstand.
Are you f'ing kidding me? One of my blogging friends called her the Matt Millen of Governors. It's the most accurate thing I've ever here.
make that ever heard.
Isn't she from Canada? Why won't she go back?
Should read....Repulican congresses are the greatest job creators. Presidents have very limited control of the economy.
such bs....the only jobs that rats "create" are the slush fund jobs for their cronies and the public sector jobs that indebt all or our grandchildren and their children....
When Democrats took both houses of congress in 2007, unemployment was at 4.6%, down from a high of 6.3% as we recovered from the Clinton recession and the attacks of September 11, 2001.
When Democrats got full control of the government and Obama was inaugurated in 2009, unemployment was at 7.8%, soon to exceed 10% after his "stimulus" to prevent unemployment from exceeding 8% was passed into law and signed by him.
Unemployment has remained in excess of 9% for most of his term, only recently dropping below 9% in some cooking the books accounting ignoring the U-6 unemployment figures that remain above 14%.
Also ignored is the Labor Work Force's Participation Rate which continues to decline to all time lows, currently at 63.8%. It was 66.4% when Dems took both houses of congress and was at 65.7% when Obama took office.
Tell me again where Obama and the Democrats are the great job creators?????
Produce nothing of value. Produce nothing useful.
Produce nothing that increases wealth.
"For the near half-century following the Kennedy administration, Democrats created nearly twice as many private-sector jobs as Republicans."
Q for Jenny: Was Affirmative Action a contributing factor?
Here is the key excerpt from the article:
"If Republican tax cuts create more jobs than Democratic investment, by all means lets cut taxes! If Republican financial deregulation creates more jobs than Democratic consumer protection, then go ahead, deregulate away!
Which is exactly why the data from Bloombergs BGOV Barometer last week will shock many people. Bloomberg studied the past 50 years of U.S. job creation, under Democratic and Republican presidents. The facts: For the near half-century following the Kennedy administration, Democrats created nearly twice as many private-sector jobs as Republicans. Even though Democrats held the presidency for only 23 years compared with 28 years of Republican rule."
As a Michigander I am well aware that this liar is so used to lying that she considers it a way of life. She says that Republican tax cuts and deregulation is in direct comparison to Democrat spending and regulation. Then she states that everyone with an R behind their name is a tax cutter and de-regulator while everyone with a D behind their name is a spender and regulator.
Yet, we have Kennedy's tax cuts, Nixon's regulation (EPA/WOsD/etc), Clinton's tax cuts and de-regulation (through force from the Congress.)
Her constituency is full of fools, so I will not be surprised that they swallow this bilge hook line and sinker.
The jobs created during the Clinton years were largely from the advent of ecommerce and Y2K. Both would have happened regardless of who was in the White House.
Unemployment was 4.4% under Bush and the GOP majority Congress in 2007, when the Dem majority Congress was sworn in.
When Clinton was sworn in in 1993, the Cold War was over, and the economy had already been growing for a year and nine months. When Bush was sworn in in 2001, the tech bubble had already burst, and Clinton's failure of leadership left the expensive WOT for Bush to budget for.
She then goes on to blame the GOP for the still high unemployment rate, for essentially refusing to spend money we don't have to create make work jobs, while failing to mention the unemployment rate would be a around 11% if the participation rate was as high as it was in 2007.
As I've been saying, if the left can't run on Obama's record, they'll run on the memory of Clinton's economy. We need to have answers ready.

You may recall that last year I wrote regarding the un-fair use of medical bloggers post and twitter feeds:
Fellow bloggers do you remember Wellsphere? Well, the latest "thief" of our information using our reputations and twitter feeds in a similar way is Organized Wisdom. Check out @laikas recent blog post on the topic: Expert Curators, WisdomCards & The True Wisdom of @organizedwisdom
Organized Wisdom (http://organizedwisdom.com and @organizedwisdom on Twitter) is a 3-4 year old company that uses a similar approach to filter useful health information out of the daily junk. ……
Part of the problem may be that Organized Wisdom doesn't only share links from "Health Centers", but also from Wellness Centers (Aging, Diet, Exercise & Fitness etc) and Living Centers (Beauty, Cooking, Environment). Apparently one card can have information for 2 or 3 centers (diabetes and multivitamins for example)
I feel used.
Organized Wisdom uses the credibility of me and other curators, including so-called "top expert curators" as Dr Pho (Kevin MD – blog), to cover up the incredibility of others, with the intention to lure users in. ……..
Just as with Wellsphere, I have asked Organized Wisdom to remove me from their expert curator list. I hope you will do the same.
Well it continues. A new acquaintance on twitter, @medmarketingcoe, has written an article: Unethical Health Information Content Farming by Organized Wisdom (OW) & how 5700 social media Curators participate in major ethical, legal, & moral violations without their knowledge
Laikas (@laikas) has written another post on the same topic: Health Experts & Pt Advocates Beware: 10 Reasons Why U Shouldn't be Curator
What do you think of this screenshot from yesterday? Isn't it misleading? How does this help provide clear and accurate information for the general public? You know the "I am a plastic surgeon in Little Rock, AR. I may 'suture for a living', but I 'live to sew'" is straight from my blogging profile, but it appears to be the statement being made about each of the doctors in the screenshot below. This is a misrepresentation of each of those doctors.
Cynthia Bailey, MD blogs at Dr. Bailey's Skin Care Blog. She is a dermatologist and does not live in Little Rock, AR. Her own blog states she practices in California.
FaceLiftMD twitter profile states he is a "Board Certified Facial Plastic Surgeon specializing in Cosmetic Surgery of the nose, face, neck, eyelids, & eyebrow in DC, Maryland, and northern Virginia." Once again, he does not live in Little Rock, AR.
Vijay, Scanman, is a radiologist who lives and works in Salem, India. He blogs at scanman's notes and posterous.
Once again, I encourage my fellow healthcare bloggers (doctors, nurses, patient advocates, etc) to remove yourself from any association with Organized Wisdom and other sites like them.

Please welcome your Calculus Flames
Jean Lefebvre
August 26 2009 10:36PM
Hockey is rarely numerically neat and impeccably precise, and if you need proof just check out Vesa Toskala's goals-against average from a season ago.
Trouble is that in the world of mathematics, two-plus-two always equals four. In the world of hockey, however, two-plus-two sometimes equals the square root of Dennis Maruk, and that's confusing, frustrating and embarrassing for all parties concerned.
That said, it's still fun to apply Euclidian principles to a Havelidian world, even if the results are about as trustworthy and effective as an Alexei Kovalev backcheck.
Just as a for-instance, let's take a look at the generally accepted concept that the Flames will have to compensate for the offence it has lost this summer with improved defensive play that will no doubt be spurred by Brent Sutter's vicious heels into the flanks of Calgary players.
Here's the bottom line on those offensive losses, and to all those of you who will immediately spot the logical flaw with the numbers that follow, button your lip. Nobody likes a wisenheimer and we will fight to the death for our right to present misleading statistics.
Out go Michael Cammalleri, Todd Bertuzzi, Adrian Aucoin and two-thirds of a Matthew Lombardi season. In 2008-09, that added up to 73 goals.
In come Jay Bouwmeester, Fredrik Sjostrom, Nigel Dawes and two-thirds of an Olli Jokinen season. In 2008-09, that added up to 53 goals.
(Those of you who would argue for the inclusion of the Jim Vandermeers, Wayne Primeaus, Andre Roys, Jordan Leopolds, Colin Stuarts, Brian McGrattans and Staffan Kronwalls into this equation, the term "statistically insignificant" leaps to mind.)
So the horribly oversimplified question is, can the Flames be one-quarter of a goal per game (or, if you prefer whole numbers, one full goal every four games) better defensively in 2009-10?
Well, with the exception of Lombardi, who contributed on the penalty kill, none of the departing players was considered an asset on the Miikka Kiprusoff side of centre ice so the knee-jerk answer is an unqualified maybe.
Bertuzzi in particular had shortcomings in his game that pretty much wiped out any benefit that could have come from his 44 points. (And by the way, the group of NHLers who amassed exactly 44 points in 2008-09 included such luminaries as Rich Peverley, Antti Miettinen and Lee Stempniak, and they all had better plus-minuses that the Old Cannoli Truck's minus-13. But we digress).
The Flames will also choose to believe they can improve their power-play production even with the loss of Cammalleri's team-leading 34 man-advantage points. While Calgary ranked eighth in offence a season ago and only Detroit and Boston scored more five-on-five goals, the Flames were just 19th in power-play goals.
No matter how you choose to crunch the numbers, a case can be made that the lost offence is not as devastating as one might first assume.
With training camp rapidly approaching, the real issue is how realistic is the requisite defensive improvement by a team that too often in 2008-09 took only a passing interest in that aspect of the game? That and will any such improvement matter if Kiprusoff doesn't provide at least average NHL starter goaltending? Despite all the advanced metrics out there, there's no better calculator for those problems than the 2009-10 season.
Oh, and by the way, it's two weeks and two days until main camp begins.
August 27 2009, 12:49PM
You forced me to look up Rich Peverley, who went on an absolutely crazy offensive tear after getting shipped to Atlanta.
Ahh, the magic that is Ilya Kovalchuk.
The defense has had such a major upgrade that I feel we can get away with scoring less - should that occur.
This team will be a defensive BEAST next year.
@ b1ackhat:
Providing that JBO's defensive numbers weren't padded by the fact that he was playing in front of the best 5V5 goalie in the league, and in the worst division in the NHL. If those things are true then yes, Calgary's defense will be a beast.
The defense got better for sure, but how much better is the key to equation

New Jersey
New Jersey's early colonial history was involved with that of New York (New Netherlands), of which it was a part. One year after the Dutch surrender to England in 1664, New Jersey was organized as an English colony under Gov. Philip Carteret.
In 1676 the colony was divided between Carteret and a company of English Quakers who had obtained the rights belonging to John, Lord Berkeley. New Jersey became a united crown colony in 1702, administered by the royal governor of New York. Finally, in 1738, New Jersey was separated from New York under its own royal governor, Lewis Morris. Because of its key location between New York City and Philadelphia, New Jersey saw much fighting during the American Revolution.
Today, New Jersey, an area of wide industrial diversification, is known as the Crossroads of the East. Products from over 20,000 manufacturers can be delivered overnight to 100 million people. The greatest single industry is chemicals; New Jersey is one of the foremost research centers in the world. Many large oil refineries are located in northern New Jersey. Other important manufactured items are pharmaceuticals, instruments, machinery, electrical goods, and apparel.
Productive farmland covers about 790,000 acres, 16.7% of New Jersey's land area. The state ranks high in the production of almost all garden vegetables, as well as blueberries, cranberries, and peaches. Poultry, dairy products, and seafood are also top commodities.
Tourism is the second-largest industry in New Jersey. The state has numerous resort areas on 127 mi of Atlantic coastline. In 1977, New Jersey voters approved legislation allowing legalized casino gambling in Atlantic City. Points of interest include the Delaware Water Gap, the Edison National Historic Site in West Orange, Princeton University, Liberty State Park, Jersey City, and the N.J. State Aquarium in Camden.
The coast of New Jersey, Atlantic City to Hoboken, was battered by 2012's Hurricane Sandy in late October. About 2.4 million people lost power, 34 people were killed, and some 72,000 homes or businesses were damaged or destroyed. The storm caused nearly $38 billion in damage.
