Torrington >> A local charity aimed at helping veterans kicked off its mission Friday night with a successful benefit concert.
Forever Heroes – a project spearheaded by Oliver Wolcott Regional Vocational Technical School counselor Mike Petroro – hosted a concert at P. Sam's Bar and Grill on Torringford West Street. The concert, attended by around 200 people, raised about $6,000 that will go to the Wounded Warrior Project.
Two sponsors chipped in funding, allowing nearly all of the money raised to go directly to help wounded military members returning from service.
The Wounded Warrior Project is a national organization aimed at raising awareness and providing services to help soldiers re-acclimate to civilian life.
Petroro said he felt it's a worthy organization because of the potential to help many of the students he currently works with in the future.
"I got involved because as a counselor, I see a lot of kids come through here and go off to the military," Petroro said.
Forever Heroes was created in order to donate to the WWP. As a rule, in order to donate, there needs to be a definite distinction between the two organizations. That way no one can mistake the WWP for raising money for itself. Forever Heroes is a third party who chose to hold a benefit and donate the proceeds to the WWP.
Three bands played during the night; Factor Five, Group Therapy and a band of technical teachers from Oliver Wolcott.
The bands played until 12:30 a.m. Tickets cost $20 apiece. Hot hors d'oeuvres were served at the event – attendees could partake in spring rolls, meatballs, cheese and vegetables between sets.
"Everyone was so generous," Petroro said. "All who were involved had a good time, and I could really see making it an annual event." Continued...
Petroro hopes to run another benefit concert next year, although he isn't sure he would donate to WWP again. He could possibly choose another worthy charity to benefit. But Petroro's thoughts for the future go even deeper than that.
"I would like to make something out of Forever Heroes," he said. Petroro would like to solidify the organization's status and perhaps hold other fundraisers and benefits.
"This is just a start," said Petroro. "Who knows where it will go."

Hyperosmolar nonketotic coma is a complication of hyperosmolar hyperglycemic nonketotic syndrome (HHNS). HHNS happens when blood glucose levels rise, often with an illness or infection. Your body trys to get rid of excess blood glucose by passing it through your urine. It also washes out other substances that your body and brain need to function.

As models strutted in Bryant Park this week, the divas across town at the Westminster dog show bore their fangs and got just as fierce. VIEW OUR GALLERY of the cut-throat competitions at http://www.thedailybeast.com/blogs-and-stories/2010-02-16/hot-dogs/full/.
The models in Bryant Park have received considerable primping, fluffing, and coddling for the last six days during New York Fashion Week, but last night, they had nothing on the bitches in Madison Square Garden.

"They're divas," said handler Nick Viggiano, a clean-cut young fashionista, gesturing toward three yipping terriers who were peering through the bars of their cages. The dogs were competing at the Westminster Kennel Club dog show, which concluded Tuesday evening with the crowning of Sadie, a Scottish terrier, as Best in Show. Dylan, the feistiest one, was busy shredding the paper lining of her cage in a Naomi Campbell-style tantrum while she awaited her session with a stylist.
Viggiano, an apprentice handler for the American Kennel Club, wore a slim-cut suit and a tidy blue apron, and wielded a formidable doggie hairdryer. He could only speak for a minute, he said. He was "incredibly stressed out."
"Just sculpting Dylan is a long, involved process with many steps," he said. "It has to blend. It has to balance. It's almost like creating a work of art." All the dogs are washed and dried before competing in the show. Many receive laborious color treatments to enhance the sheen of their coats. Dylan, who doesn't exactly love to sit still, also gets eyeliner and hairspray. "My sister's a model," Viggiano said, dabbing sweat from his brow, "and she says the process is very similar."
More than 2,500 dogs from 173 breeds competed at this year's 134th annual Westminster show. Untold thousands of models appear in the more than 300 shows and presentations that occur over the eight full days of New York Fashion Week, versions of which have occurred in the city since 1943. The two groups have very little in common, apart from their elaborate grooming rituals—and a mutual appreciation of fur.
Models at the Marc Jacobs show on Monday night began going into hair and makeup five hours before the 8 p.m. start time, according to company president Robert Duffy. By contrast, the purebreds competing at Westminster undergo elaborate styling routines that often begin weeks before they step into the ring.
Jennifer Martin and her two-year-old Weimaraner, Ch Simpatico Au Courant A Chaud (a.k.a. "Sizzle") run five miles a day, and the pup's rippling muscles stand out beneath his short-haired sheen. Martin, an Oklahoma native who now lives in Maryland, washes Sizzle with special organic shampoo and conditioner. Sizzle travels in a case covered with a leopard-print blanket, with her products stored in a matching leopard-print tote bag. On show day, Martin chooses her own outfit carefully as well.
"I'm known in my ring for kind of being a slave to fashion," she said. "I wear pants in a solid color that will enhance the dog." That morning she wore an Elie Tahari suit with a ruffled blouse, showing Sizzle at the very same time Tahari was presenting his Fall 2010 collection in Bryant Park. "We were in it but we didn't win it," said Martin, who wore magenta tint on her lips and her hair in a short blond bob. "But it's OK. At least if we're going to lose, we're going to look good doing it."
A few stalls away, Margaret Warfield and her 225-pound mastiff, Ch Beowolf Get A Load of Me (a.k.a. "Wilbur") were striving for the same Zen-like nonchalance. Warfield calls her hulking guard dog "ready-to-wear" because he's ready for showtime after a bath and a dab of Vitamin E on his fist-size nose. Then again, just bathing the dog takes more than two hours, since his massive coat must be painstakingly hand-dried. Warfield wore a red satin jacket with a mandarin collar and a generous coating of sequins for the big show, plus a heavy onyx necklace to ward off competitors' negative vibes.
Surrounding the "benching area" where dogs and their owners nervously pace until it's time to perform, there are stalls hocking the finest in high-end dog beauty and fashion products. Two blondes with pearly white teeth patiently talked up Les Pooches luxury grooming products, which range from $12 organic dog biscuits to a $3,000 crystal bottle of blue-colored dog perfume. The B*Unique boutique allowed pet lovers to order, at considerable expense, a sturdy jean shirt custom-bedazzled with Swarovski crystals in the image of their own dog.
Seating at the Garden was considerably less competitive than in Bryant Park, but just because it was dogs prancing around, that didn't make the atmosphere any less catty. One couple in an executive box spent the entire afternoon guffawing, in heavy Westchester accents, about the outfit choices of the dog handlers jogging around the stage. "Look at that fatty in the red sweater," said the wife. Her husband nodded in agreement. "These women should all be wearing pants."
Of course, many were, lending the dog show a heartier aesthetic than the flouncy, feminine tone on the runways. Westminster is the Ellen DeGeneres to Fashion Week's Portia de Rossi, the Melissa Ethridge to its Elton John.
That's not to say there's any less an appreciation of perfect anatomy and impeccable tailoring on the Astroturf than in the Tents. And no one knows that better than Lourdes Cofino and her two-year-old Newfoundland Ch Halcyon Queen Isabella, a "multiple Best-In-Show bitch." Cofino, in 4-inch Michael Kors stiletto pumps, described the $400 blow-drier she used to gently coif Queen Halcyon, in a process that takes upwards of two hours before a show. It could be exhausting, but it was worth it.
"It's a show, so you just have to look beautiful," she said. "The prettiest one is going to be the one that wins."

The Overture to Der Freischütz ('The free shooter') was first performed well over a year before the first performance of the full opera. It presents almost a summary of the full opera, depicting the murmuring of the forest and echoes of hunting horns before moving into the darker realms representing the villain of the opera. The Overture is conducted in this performance by the Philharmonia's Honorary Conductor for Life, Christoph von Dohnányi.

Stocks closed solidly higher Tuesday after Fed chairman Ben Bernanke gave investors reason to believe that the central bank would continue to do its part to help the economy.
"Economic activity in the United States has continued to expand at a moderate, if somewhat uneven pace," he said, explaining why the Fed's bond buying program should continue.
Bernanke's promise of continued aid, coupled with positive economic data and robust corporate earnings, helped the Dow Jones Industrial Average, the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq end the day up between 0.4% and 0.8%.
Gold prices also rallied, rising nearly 2% in the biggest one-day jump this year. "Gold looks good today on Bernanke's reassurance of continued monetary accommodation," Jeffrey Nichols, a managing director at American Precious Metals Advisors wrote in a note to investors.
The S&P Case-Shiller index for the fourth quarter showed home prices jumped 7.3%, the third straight quarter of year-over-year gains. New home sales also jumped more than 15% in January, the sharpest monthly increase since July 2008.
Home improvement retailer Home Depot reported strong year-end results, providing more evidence of a housing rebound. The company reported a 7% gain in same-store sales for the fourth quarter.
Consumer confidence also increased in February. The Conference Board's index showed that confidence jumped to 69.0 from 58.6 in January.
Shares of department store chain Macy's rose after the company reported a 20% increase in fourth quarter profits and a 3.7% increase in sales at stores open for more than one year.
Shares of Best Buy dropped more than 3% after the troubled electronic retailer announced that it would cut 400 jobs at its headquarters as part of a plan to slash $150 million in expenses.
JPMorgan Chase announced plans to cut costs at the bank. At the bank's annual investors day, CEO Jamie Dimon said he plans to cut 4,000 positions in 2013 as part of the bank's plan to save $1 billion this year.

About Me Budget Shopper
We saw these tables in a local furniture store & loved them for our new sectional. The total price was a little over $1000.00. As always, I didn't impulse buy & I tried to find a better deal online though I was definitely worry-some about buying a large purchase online. I also saw many negative comments that made me ever more leery. [...]The ONLY issue we had was that you could tell they had been stained & put right in the boxes, the odor was very strong for quite a few days but eventually diminished. Otherwise, they look great & they were more than $300 less from Cymax.com.

(Best months for planting Globe artichokes in USA - Zone 5a regions)
S = Plant undercover in seed trays. P = Plant direct in garden where they are to grow.
Superthistles growing to 1.2-1.3m high with a spread of 1.2x1.2m . Very pretty, can be part of a herbacious border.
Harvest from second year. Artichokes grow particularly well in sandy soil. Can be propagated by suckers or offsets. In temperate/warm areas a well fertilised plant will live for about five years and throw up suckers each year. Artichokes aren't hardy enough to overwinter in areas with very cold winters. In cold areas choose a hardy variety from a local supplier and grow it as an annual, with 10 days' exposure to cool daytime temperatures during spring. Transplant only when all danger of frost is past in your area. Aphids and earwigs can be a nuisance.
Pick buds before scales develop brown tips .
If you have lots of small buds, they can be fried in olive oil and eaten whole.
Rinse in plenty of cold water to remove earwigs or other insects.
This planting guide is a general reference intended for home gardeners. We recommend that you take into account your local conditions in making planting decisions.

Dear Wisconsin,
It's been too long. I should have written earlier. Things obviously have been tense between us for a while - we really haven't connected since 1994, when you sent that "feel better" card about the Green Bay Packers not playing at County Stadium anymore.
It's been too long. I should have written earlier. Things obviously have been tense between us for a while - we really haven't connected since 1994, when you sent that "feel better" card about the Green Bay Packers not playing at County Stadium anymore.
But this year, it was as though the pent-up frustrations, distrust and miscommunication erupted like a basement full of wastewater. (Maybe you don't know anything about that – well, an overflow of cow manure, then.)
Some of the tension goes back to the very beginning. I'm sure it was rough when you were born back in 1848, inheriting me as an older city and being a little in my shadow. On the one hand, two years shouldn't make much difference. I mean, you're 164 and I'm 166 - who really cares? Still, I know I teased you a lot when you were young. I'm sure it didn't help that the Germans fell all over me like I was wiener schnitzel.
Of course we've had some good times, too. Remember how you would brag about Schlitz and Harley-Davidson to all your friends? You used to really make Illinois mad. I'll never forget your reaction to Marquette University winning the NCAA men's basketball championship in 1977; it was seashells and balloons across the whole state. Or as recently as a decade ago, when the Milwaukee Art Museum was ingeniously enhanced by Santiago Calatrava, you were as proud as anyone. Then something snapped in 2010. No more of the predictable back-and-forth teasing. (Like when I'd get jealous of you fawning all over the dry "Spring City" or when you'd over-hype fights at Summerfest.) No longer were we merely at odds. We were at war.
I couldn't believe some of the egregious slander against your own economic hub. I mean, we've had our differences in the past, but nothing like this. You started to shun me like I was an ugly stepcity. Telling other municipalities to stay away from me. Celebrating every piece of bad news as though it was something praiseworthy. (That kind of pro-failure attitude with Detroit hasn't exactly helped Michigan, as I'm sure you've noticed.) If I can't count on my own state having my back, who will? Indiana?
It all became clear to me during the recall election. Gov. Scott Walker said during the campaign against Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett: "We don't want Wisconsin to become another Milwaukee." That hit me like a ton of cream city bricks. The whole recall wasn't really about Republicans vs. Democrats; it was about you and me! A state vs. its leading city. The realization sent me reeling so much, I dropped a plate of paczki.
Let's face it, you and I need each other. Without you, I'd be lost. And without me, you'd be Iowa. We've been through too much to pack it in. I'll promise to lay off the out-state stereotypes if you promise to support my success.
Look, I'm never going to be Genesee. I can't go back to having 6,000 people and a volunteer fire department. It's just not going to happen. I'm a robust, urban metropolis of 600,000 citizens - Wisconsin residents! - so I have challenges (and benefits) that are unique to me.
Yeah, I can be intimidating and brash sometimes, but you know me better than that. I'm a tapestry of families and neighborhoods. Fish fries and festivals. Manufacturing and finance. Higher education and cultural arts. From Bay View to Walker's Point to the Third Ward to Lindsey Heights to Enderis Park to Story Hill - my people aren't much different from your people. In fact, my people are your people.
Imagine what it would mean if you said to businesses looking to relocate, "You should consider my No. 1 city: Milwaukee." Or if you sent a bunch of volunteers from Stevens Point or Janesville to landscape around an MPS playground. We could be one another's advocates. There's no telling what we could accomplish.
Why not get a Minnesota-Minneapolis thing going? We could be Laverne and Shirley. Lew Alcindor and Oscar Robertson. Will Allen and watercress. Partners, instead of enemies.
Some friendships come and go, but ours is worth saving, Dairy State. Like beer and cheese, we already complement each other. Now let's try complimenting each other. Forward!
Alex Runner lives in Milwaukee's Sherman Park neighborhood.

I have started this post four or five times and gone back to the beginning. Some people will read it and say I need to get off my high horse. Others will say that it is just me promoting my business, and others still will say "Hey, aren't you taking this a little too seriously? It's just food." Each time I have started over, I am more adamant that I should talk louder. The food we are eating is killing our nation, crippling our healthcare system, and creating generations of unhappy children who will turn into unhappy adults.
If I come off like a hard line a-hole, well good. It seems to me that people aren't speaking up enough. There seems to be this notion that we should let our kids "be kids" and allow them to eat and drink what they want. Go to your summer pools and look around at kids drinking 20 ounce Cokes, Gatorades, all day, and view the rolls that they create. Explain to those kids that you are "letting them be kids".
There is a notion that my family eats nothing but granola, drinks water, and never eats fast food. This isn't the case. Our kids probably eat Canes and or McD's 3-4 times a year. We let them eat ice cream, donuts, and get Sonic Blasts from time to time. We also constantly have to explain to them that no we won't pick up Raising Cane's and bring it to school for their lunch and that there is no crime in not knowing what a Little Debbie Zebra Cake is.
I hate this seeming acceptance of fatness as being "just how it is." This is such bs. Skinny isn't what it's all about, but a healthy weight for your body is what people should strive for. I also know that people can eat correctly and not overcome genetic predispositions. I have more than a couple friends in triathlon that have lost a ton of weight and will never be skinny. They are however, healthy and fit.
I walked the aisles of a local grocery store the other day and a thought struck me. It was simple and like a shot in the neck. "What % of items in this store are good for me?" Non processed, no high fructose corn syrup, all natural, lacking preservatives. While I didn't go package to package and look at all the labels, it was clear that likely 70-80% of the store violated this. In fact, if you step back and look down an aisle, you see the dazzling array of colors beckoning you to buy. If I am being honest with myself, I should ask, "Why are they dressing this up so much if it's good for me?" Super sized bags and boxes of empty calories lining aisle after aisle.
Let's talk a little more. If I asked you what killed more people heroin or obesity, it should not shock you to know that in 2009 there were approximately 35000 deaths from drug overdoses of all kinds and 400,000 from obesity related illness.
So I'd ask you to forgive me, but I am not apologizing for speaking out nor will I apologize as I keep speaking out. Someone has to.

Bad Guys, Good Eats! Pop-Up Dinner at Restaurant IPO
Chef and 225 contributor Jay D. Ducote and Chef Chris Wadsworth hosted the Bad Guys, Good Eats! dinner at Restaurant IPO Wednesday night. The dinner was themed around famous movie villains, pairing cocktails and ales with plates of food resembling famous baddies like The Joker, Lord Voldemort, Hannibal Lector, and many others. The highlights of the night were the three middle courses—a black bean soup laced with blood sausage to signify Lord Voldemort, a brace of coneys on black eyed peas resembling Sauron, and lamb medallions atop a fava bean puree to pay homage to the famous favorite of Hannibal Lector.

adventurer, traveler, and designer at heart, jay roop is on a mission to experience the most that earth has to offer and bring others on board for the time of their lives. currently residing in seoul, korea where he runs operations for his design studio, and previously living in gothenburg, sweden and san francisco, california, he is ready to share documentation of his life and work with all those who are interested.
curiosities? drop a line!!
Saluting Seoul
8 long months ago, the city of Seoul was a gigantic question mark floating in the barren void just in front of me. I was ready to go and at the same time, never more unsure about what would happen next in my life.
This short musing is to make a proper salute to a city who completely blew away my absent expectations and the wonderful people I met there whose generosities I could never even begin repay. Despite not having any intention of searching for family, I literally fell into the arms of folks who made Seoul feel like not only much more than a place to live, but home – and that's no small feat.
So, thank you to all my sisters and brothers, friends, and inanimate objects that shaped my world. I'll be back.
On the Perception of Journey
I have come to the conclusion that when it comes to living life on the run move, one becomes so engrossed in the push and pull between Past&Future and the There&AndThere that inevitably the mind loses the capacity to focus on the Here&Now.
At this point, I've come to assign this particular affliction the title of Wanderlust, which isn't exactly a ground breaking discovery, but nonetheless certainly provides a larger context (and thus tangible reassurance that no, I'm not the only one fighting invisible daemons) for my self-induced curiosity about places that I've experienced, heard of, or dreamed about.
And, if the only way to enter into the 12-Step Program for Finding Oneself by Actually Finding Oneself is to acknowledge that I've got an identifiable and thus treatable condition… well, I'm now at least partially there. Yes, I'm still a bit non-comittal.
It's actually quite ironic.
I've found it so easy to become enveloped in things that have happened and things that might happen (but usually don't) that I foolishly miss what is right in front of me. The result is that weeks, months, or years down the road I wake up one morning and say, "Wow, wasn't it a great time that I had when…", which is the kind of romantic reminiscence more fondly known as nostalgia. Subsequently, the thought creeps into my mind that it might be a good idea to go try and find that kind of amazing experience again but with a new twist, all the while re-enacting the kind of epic fail that can be compared to a batter swinging blindly at a ball which has already hit him square in the face — an embarrassing and totally avoidable situation that is easily prevented by not chomping away on bubble gum while getting lost in day dreams induced by the glare of modern stadium lighting.
Like I said, this isn't brand new information for the world to consume, but it's certainly a minor revelation for this lost traveler which has led me to proclaim: I solemnly swear to try to live life Here&Now… and also that I am up to no good.
goodness, gracious, greatballs of gävle? / pt. 2
continued from part 1
my foray into the city began with a walk through the city center. a rather uneventful couple of moments, i passed the time by taking photos of sculptures of strange beasts which appeared to be part 4-legged creature and part flying creature. i would be more specific, but to be quite honest, i couldn't tell you for the life of me what they were supposed to be.
while making my way across a large square, i laughed to myself as i watched two other obvious foreigners playing around. a man was photographing another man who was quite tipsy and jumping to be photographed in mid-air.
one thing that there appears to be no shortage of in any city are trendy bars with uninspiring music. not wishing to be overly cynical, i moseyed past the drunken water holes and sauntered into a small park nestled between two large streets. unfortunately, there wasn't much to be seen other than a giant fountain and a couple sitting on a bench. my adventure to gävle was starting to seem a bit bland, not exactly what i had in mind.
eventually i made my way to the river that runs by the city. to my surprise i found the quaint image of two people fishing by the side of the river. standing less than 30m apart, they couldn't have been more oblivious to each other and seemed to be having no luck with their sport.
by this time i was starting to get hungry. because i was late getting out from the apartment before leaving, i wasn't able to make a proper food run to the grocery store – only picking up a couple sandwiches at pressbyrån (the convenience store) before jumping on the train where i promptly scared both of them down. one of the things that you seem to only be able to find in sweden are vegetarian options at almost every single hot dog stand (korv kiosk), making finding one my next goal for the evening.
in sweden i have gotten used to being basically ignored by people, or at least payed very little attention to, as soon as i start speaking english. but as i ordered my burger i was surprised to be engaged in conversation by the same two very men who i had seen jumping and taking photos in the square earlier.
it turned out that they were brothers from india working as engineers for ericsson on a yearly training trip to gävle. it also turned out that one of the brothers was quite drunk and interested in asking me if i "must have 5 girlfriends back in america" and preaching about the negative energy one acquires if not having sex. ah yes, and let me not forget his less than subtle comment about swedish girls and certain qualities of their physique located on the upper part of their torso. to say the least, it was quite awkward if not entirely amusing to watch the other brother attempt to quite his slurring sibling down. his failures ultimately led to a quick and expedient exit and i was again on my way.
my original sleeping plan was to stay in the train station overnight, however, this was quickly thwarted as the gentleman from securitas (the security company) closed the main station almost immediately after my arrival. fortunately, there was a 'night waiting' area just adjacent and i figured i would make myself at home there. what i didn't know was that by 'night' the swedes mean until midnight, at which point i was once again removed from the station and told that it would be closed until the morning.
enter plan b. or actually, plan c. i wanted to find a place that was isolated and out of the way, but also decently safe – i did have quite a fat wad of cash hiding in my pocket. to me, the ultimate sleeping spot would be at the end of the center train platform with a pole that i could lock my bags to and put my sleeping bag down in front of. despite the slight chill, mosquitos, passing trains, and fluorescent lights above i somehow managed to pass in and out of consciousness until just after 2am when i was woken by the unmistakable sounds of a couple having sex in the building across the street from the station. i tried to sleep through it, but to no avail. about 45 minutes later, just before 3am, i finally got some peace and quiet as the sun began to rise.
as i started to doze off, i heard a car door close and briefly saw a couple figures out of the corner of my eye. i ignored them, shut my eyes and started to relax just as i felt my feet shoot straight up in the air to the simultaneous greeting of "hej, tjena!" (or, "hey there!"). startled, i opened my eyes to see a pair of police officers standing above me. the funny thing is that i think they were as surprised to see a young asian guy emerge from the sleeping bag as i was to be disturbed from my sleep.
a short discussion ensued with them enquiring about my nationality, what i was doing in gävle, and why i was sleeping outside at the train station. to say the least, they were incredibly kind and understanding and the resulting ride in the back of a swedish police car was not due to me being in any trouble, in fact, they brought me to the station so i could have a warm, safe, mosquito free place to crash. it was actually probably the best thing that could have happened to me, as i was able to catch 4 or so hours of sleep on the chairs in the waiting room before walking out into the morning sun on my way back to the station just 5 minutes down the road.
an hour later i was back on the train home, contemplating the completely bizarre set of events that i had just experienced. from having delivered my guitar across sweden, to meeting two random indian guys with opposite personalities, being kicked out of the train station twice, sleeping outside like a bum and subsequently awakened by the police who turned out to be my saviors, it seemed my hunch that embarking on this wacky trip would result in some type of adventure was certainly a massive understatement.
in the end i realized, the more you roll the dice, the higher the chances you'll end up with something spectacular. it also increases the likely hood that you'll fail completely, which was certainly an alternative that was on the table more than once in my 24 hour whirl-wind tour across sweden. but when you hang yourself out there and find it in you to wait until the very last second before you panic, freak out, or generally start to curse yourself for not being smarter, things can and usually do happen. call me stupid, but i'd do it again.
goodness, gracious, great balls of gävle? / pt. 1
one of the joys in life which i throughly embrace is the opportunity to go on an adventure.
stepping out of my comfort zone and into the unknown brings a kind of thrill to me that few other things can – when nothing is planned and everything is up to the random lottery that life deals, i find excitement in the the ability to rely solely on instinctual reaction to my environment.
as part of my plan for moving to korea, i have been selling a number of my possessions to provide me with a small startup fund for when i land in seoul. perhaps my most cherished item is a rickenbacker 360 guitar that i bought during in my senior year of high school when i still rocked 'n rolled. you might be surprised to learn that in my previous life before i was a designer, i was a guitar thrasher and lived for the experience of playing live in front of a crowd.
having spent the last half-decade virtually un-touched as i went to college, i saw it fit to say goodbye to my guitar as the primary source of cash for my big move. the only problem was that now is not a particularly good time to be selling valuable items, the market is much more favorable to buyers than sellers.
when i asked a music store in göteborg what they'd give me for it, the answer was quite underwhelming at almost 20% less than i was willing to let it go for. starting to panic, and wonder how i was going to make my way to korea, i was excited when someone contacted me via a web ad i placed expressing interest. the down side? he was located on the other coast of sweden with plans to come to göteborg a couple weeks after i would leave.
things weren't exactly looking great. but then i had an idea, what if i took the guitar and delivered it in person – white glove service? would he pay for part of my trip? if so, it would be worth it to get the extra bones in my pocket. somewhat surprisingly, he agreed and by the end of the day i had booked a last minute ticket to gävle for the next afternoon.
the catch was that i hadn't yet bought a return ticket. you can purchase discounted "last minute" tickets from the swedish train company up to 24 hours in advance of its departure, but i would have to wait and hope that i could get a cheap ticket back in a reasonable amount of time. after all, preparing to move around the world doesn't leave much extra time for dilly-dallying around.
throwing caution to the wind, the next day i hopped on a train at 1500 to ride 6 hours across sweden despite not having any place to stay. just in case, i brought my sleeping bag.
arriving as the sky began to slowly dim, i met erik at the station, made short conversation and exchanged guitar for cash – all in about 15 minutes. by that time, the last trains and buses back to stockholm and göteborg had already left for the day leaving my partially stranded, but far from desperate. fortunately, although the main station was closing as he bought the guitar, the "night waiting" area in the station seemed like it would provide ample comfort for me to get some rest it.
however, i hadn't come all this way to just plop down for the night. i wanted to see a piece of another swedish city, a final glance into yet another corner of the country i had been living in for nearly a year. it was my last hurrah and as i set out from the relative comfort of the station to explore more of the unknown, i had no idea what odd events were soon to take place.

JCP&L to Launch New App, Other Enhancements
App to launch sometime in January, according to press release.
Following several major storms in about a year—including two powerful near-hurricanes—Jersey Central Power & Light has, fairly or not, suffered some pretty harsh criticism from both customers and municipalities.
On Thursday, the utility announced a series of new operational practices that, according to a press release, "will provide additional information to municipal officials about power outage restoration efforts during significant storm events."
The JCP&L enhancements will include, according to the press release: Providing municipalities with maps showing electrical circuit routes in their communities; locating JCP&L municipal liaisons in company field offices to maintain contact with local officials; hosting targeted teleconference briefings for municipal officials about localized restoration work; deploying additional company personnel to work with municipal representatives; training county and municipal first responders on electrical safety; and participating in community advisory board meetings with county and municipal leaders and emergency agencies to outline the company's restoration procedures.
"We are committed to continuous improvement for our customers and welcome the opportunity to work with state, county and municipal officials over the next several months as we implement these new practices," said Don Lynch, president of JCP&L. "These enhancements, which are based on feedback from customers and municipal officials following Hurricane Sandy, are designed to provide more outreach and collaboration to elected officials and customers about the company's restoration process and priorities on a community by community basis."
In addition, the release notes JCP&L is developing a number of "mobile technology tools" to help customers report outages and access other important information about their accounts. A customer app for Apple or Android-based smartphones also is expected to launch this month.

Glad to hear it. It will be much easier getting their inaccurate information from an app, instead of their website.

All well & good, BUT....if another storm like Sandy occurs and out-of-state linemen, etc., are brought in to help---JCP&L, and municipal officials, need to better utilize them. They were not deployed efficiently, didn't know their way around, etc. I think many hours and manpower were lost on that aspect alone. A better liaison between locals and non-locals would have helped.
12:04 pm on Saturday, January 5, 2013
JCP&L is the worst!! all they had to do, was have a couple of crews going around and see what blade switches they could pull closer to damaged lines... They would have had thousands of consumers back on-line within a few days. The only crew I saw for 10 days just drove right by and thats all was wrong with our entire street. A simple blade switch was down. Just plain unacceptable.

Just curious, who did you notify when you realized the only issue was the switch?
11:44 pm on Sunday, January 6, 2013
I called everyday and the few times I actually got a live person on the phone they told me they had no idea what a blade switch was!!!! Only when I said I would reset it myself and pull one closer to the lines down did they send somebody out!!! I live in green township and my street is always forgotten by JCP&L Irean was 7 days, October snow storm 2011 was 9 days and SAndy was 10 days! Only 1 of these involved a line down on our phase!!!
11:51 pm on Sunday, January 6, 2013
I challenge JCP&L to leave me a comment on here! Please explain the reasoning behind not sending a few crews around to reset blade switches of the main phase lines and pulling switches closer to damaged lines!! PLEASE JCP&L LEAVE A COMMENT! Or heck send me a PM and I'll respond.

1) "two powerful near hurricanes" - what was "near" about them - both Irene and Sandy were hurricanes. 2) I see no mention of a time-table for the app and the other efforts - are they going to happen next week or month or after the next storm when we notice they're no where to be found. 3) what does " training county and municipal first responders on electrical safety" mean - will it enable them to remove downed trees after confirming wires are dead?
8:44 am on Monday, January 7, 2013
This is flat out deception. There is so much wrong with JCP&L's infrastructure it will take 10 years to rectify, and now they want us to think a stupid mobile phone app will fix it. Come-on, where is the State BPU on this? JCP&L needs to be dragged kicking and screaming into hundreds of court case across its area by thousands of rate payers who were harmed by JCP&L's negligent lack of maintenance and lack of ability to repair their systems in a reasonable timeframe!
Nothing else will get their attention!

I agree, they are useless and the information that will be put on this app will probably not be accurate. They should be held responsible for all of our losses due to their lack of ability to respond in a reasonable timeframe. Their lack of service has cost many of us a lot of money!

An app??! How about upgrading your outdated, un-maintenanced equipment instead of just sucking us dry on fees and rates? An app won't fix a blown transformer, nor will it efficiently deploy human crews where needed in a timely manner. This is merely a PR stunt, and a pretty transparent one at that.
2:52 pm on Monday, January 7, 2013
If I didn't know better, I'd think this story was a spoof written by The Onion. Are they kidding? Hey folks, don't believe a word of it. First, JCP&L did nothing between the last two Halloween storms, and they won't do anything of importance now. Secondly, most of what they are proposing requires consumer to HAVE POWER! Third, the power company answers only to the Board of Public Utilities which is an appointed body that answers to absolutely no one. Please recall Governor Christie as well as other local officials screaming about how JCP&L would be "held accountable." How? When? By whom? The power company has no incentive whatsoever to improve service because they know their contracts will never be taken away. Ever. So instead they give us fluff like APPS and "training first responders." It's the first responders who never fail to do their jobs. Maybe the first responders should be training the power company. What a joke.

And one more thing...did anyone get a credit on their bill for the 7,8,9,10 days or more without power? Any kind of a rebate? Just curious.
D Ambriano
4:06 pm on Monday, January 7, 2013
Hah! My bill (which was estimated) went UP from the prior month. And when I called with my "real meter reading", it only went down by $40. Which was still higher than the month before, even with a full 13 days in darkness.
4:33 pm on Monday, January 7, 2013
Well, I obviously did not get billed for the multiple days my power was out. Why would you expect a credit or rebate? Up to the moment the power went out, you were using electricity--which you would be billed for. My bill that included the Sandy outage was "actual" and equal to the amount of power I did use, and was less than the previous month. I do agree with a previous commenter that we have to take some responsibility in preparing for a storm. ie: trim trees near power lines, remove old and/or diseased trees that have the potential to cause damage, etc., common sense prevention. I had an old, weak tree that had been damaged in an Oct. snowstorm a few years ago, it should have been removed. Well, Sandy uprooted it and dumped it on my roof, causing several thousand dollars in damage. My fault...

The bpu did nothing to compel the utility companies to do better this time around post Irene. Nor did the legislature. The bpu chair now is rewarded with a seat in the state Supreme Court.i don't think he is focused on holding utilities more accountable ar the moment. Time passes. Nothing happens. Memories fade. And this is the best that Jcpl can come up with? Great. We will have an app so I can conviently report from my smartphone that my power and the rest if the town has no power next time. This is the kind if blatant insensitivity you get with a weakly regulated monopoly. In the mean time while it may be a long shot to change who delivers your power you can change where the power comes from. I for one will be looking to do that. It will make me feel better that Jcpl is getting less in their accounts as I exercise my write to get my supply somewhere else.

All auto-body refinishers are required to maintain detailed coating and solvent usage records and material data sheets. Permitted automotive refinishers are requested to maintain charts or lists comparing all coatings and solvents for which limits have been established in Rule 234, Automotive Refinishing Operations to the associated Rule limit. In addition, shops must keep and maintain other logs, records, and material data sheets that record material usage and the VOC content of coating products. Automotive refinishers that are exempt from District permitting due to low coating volume (i.e. less than 1 gallon of coating per day) are required to keep records to maintain the exemption. The exemption form from permitting is available. Records documenting compliance be kept in the formats provided here, or in equivalent alternative summary formats that provide the information that is required by Rule 234. If the required information is not kept in the manner prescribed by Rule 234, this is a violation of the rule. Record keeping is not an end in itself - operators cannot maintain compliance with Rule 234 limitations without knowing the VOC information that is the subject of the record keeping, and furthermore compliance cannot be demonstrated to the District without these records. This request is made pursuant to Section 500, Monitoring and Records, of Rule 234, Automotive Refinishing Operations, and pursuant to Health and Safety Code Section 42303, Information Disclosure.
Rule 234, Automotive Refinishing Operations, requires operators of facilities subject to the Rule to maintain a current listing of all as-applied VOC containing materials in use at the facility. In addition, current coating technical data sheets, which list the VOC content of each material, are required to be available for review on site. A record of the total facility VOC emissions is also required on a monthly basis. The rule also requires that any person using precoat shall verify compliance with Section 307 by retaining purchase invoices and records of applied volume of precoat on a monthly basis.
To aid complying with Rule 234, we are providing the following three forms:
Technical Data Sheets are required for each VOC containing material used and listed on a Product Lists. Technical data sheets must include the VOC content "As Applied Without Water and Exempt Solvents", as well as "As Applied With Water and Exempt Solvents". The VOC content "As Applied Without Water and Exempt Solvents" is required for determining compliance with rule limits. Whereas the VOC content "As Applied With Water and Exempt Solvents" is required to calculate monthly VOC emissions.
All required records must be retained for at least 3 years and are to be made available to the District's inspector upon request.
If you have questions concerning record keeping requirements for Automotive Refinishing you may contact John Finnell, Senior Engineer at (530) 745-2324. Permitted facilities may request a compliance consultation meeting to informally review your record keeping practices.

Excellent glove, actually waterproof

About Me Casual/ Recreational
Comments about Waterproof G1 3-Finger 7mm Semi Dry Gloves:
These gloves are FANTASTIC, like stated in previous reviews, mine too stayed dry until I went to deeper depths and I had to let water in to relieve a squeeze. If you normally wear a medium, get a large, wear a large? get an XL. the sizing is weird, but its well worth the wait.Dont get the suggested size, it will take you longer to get your gloves on than the rest of your gear. TRUST ME

fantastic gloves
By Petey
from Wisconsin
About Me Advanced
they really reduce water flow. my hands stayed completely dry for the first half of the dive.I downloaded the size chart. It suggested a large, I ordered an XL which I was bearly able to get on. The no hassle exchange to an XXL was a very easy process. I was very happy with Leisure Pro' s service. But do recommend at least one size larger.
Great Glove

See all my reviews
An excellent "Sleestack" style glove. Used during my 2012 Ice Diver certification in Minnesota and my hands never felt cold (about 33 degrees at surface, about 36 degrees further down). I highly recommend this glove for cold water diving.

HEAD racket rebel Robin Soderling stands one victory away from the French Open title after reaching the Paris final for the second year in succession. The Swede who a year ago faced Roger Federer in the Roland Garros title match got a second chance at Grand Slam trophy glory as he outlasted tough Czech Tomas Berdych 6-3, 3-6, 5-7, 6-3, 6-3 in their marathon semi-final.
Soderling, playing with his red YouTek Radical MP, needed three and a half hours, breaking Berdych in the final game to insure victory. He is bidding to become the first Swedish champion at Roland Garros since Mats Wilander in 1988.
The big-hitting Soderling leads the French Open table on aces, adding 18 to his total in a match almost perfectly balanced between 62 winners and 63 unforced errors.
"This match was more than tough," said Soderling. "It was tough for me to play my game. He hit so hard, all of his returns were landing just centimetres from the baseline."
"He gave me no time to react. I had to work really hard today," added the winner. "Tomas played well when it really mattered and I had a tough time with his serve."

generative modeling for Rhino
Hello, Hopefully some here can help with this:
Just tried installing grasshopper_wip_20110705b and i'm getting the following error:
Exception occured in plug-in Grasshopper
Unable to load DLL 'rhcommon_c': The application has failed to start because its side-by-side configuration is incorrect.
attached is a screenshot of the full error message:
Running Vista via bootcamp
Rhino Version 4.0 SR 8.0
the one i posted friday is when i try to install the updates... when I install grasshopper it installs fine then when I launch it in rhino doesn't launch - error message comes up
What is the file name you are trying to install for the Microsoft Updates. Be very specific.
Doesn't matter I spotted the _IA64 one on your desktop. I'm guessing you don't have an Itanium Processor!
The File you need as Grasshopper is a 32-bit compiled software is the vcredist_x86.EXE version. Try this and see if you get a better result.
a right! sorry but where can i find a 32 bit version?
same place you get an Itanium version.
hi.I've got two problems...Hopefully someone could help with this:
1.the same problem in rhino4, and I've installed the latest Microsoft C++ runtimes. However, it did help....
2.something goes wrong with rhino 5...
Exception occured in plug-in Grasshopper
Method not found:'Void Rhino.Runtime.HostUtis.InitialzeRhinoCommon()'.
When's the last time you updated Rhino5?
David Rutten
Poprad, Slovakia
I installed it today, and haven't updated it yet...
The error is because Grasshopper is trying to call a method in the Rhino SDK that doesn't exist. This method has been there for a long time and as far as I can work out should still be there now. This would mean that you are running a very old Rhino5 beta, or at least a very old RhinoCommon.dll file inside your Rhino5 beta. It's a bit puzzling.
What is the date on your Rhino5 banner?
David Rutten
Poprad, Slovakia
Oh... It shows 18-May-2010...It must be an old version...
I'm new to Rhino, so how to update it ?
Rhino5 betas should update automatically, but it's possible this is blocked by a fire-wall or somesuch. You can get it here: http://download.rhino3d.com/rhino/5.0/beta/changes/

His combat persona, though, could be turned on and off, he said.
"You're a little more aggressive when you're at work and when you come home, you relax and try to be the different person," he said.
Kyle helped established the FITCO Cares foundation, a charity that helps U.S. war vets "who have survived combat but are still fighting to survive post-traumatic stress disorder," the group's website said.
Life back home was a challenge for Kyle, who acknowledged that he turned to alcohol for comfort at one point. "After I was discharged from the military, it was difficult trying to become a civilian," he told a lawyer during a deposition for a lawsuit last November.
"You're in a combat zone one day," he said. "You come home, and then you have to readjust, and it takes a few days. We just sit in the house, hang with the family and then things get better. But it's simple things of trash blowing across the road, reminded of an (improvised explosive device), you might want to swerve. So that's why you just stay at home."
Former Minnesota Gov. Jesse Ventura filed a lawsuit last year accusing Kyle of defaming him in the book by exaggerating his description of a fight between the two at the wake for SEAL Mikey Monsoor, who was killed in Iraq in 2006.
The book quoted Ventura, also a Navy veteran, as saying he "hates America" and telling Kyle, who was mourning the death of a SEAL teammate, "You deserve to lose a few." Kyle described punching Ventura out at the Coronado, California, bar.
In the suit, Ventura denied making the statements in the book, contending that "the entire story about a confrontation with and physical assault and battery of Governor Ventura was false and defamatory."
At his deposition last November, Kyle continued to insist his book accurately described his clash with Ventura.
"He was complaining about the war, that we shouldn't be there," Kyle testified. "Complaining about Bush, that, you know, Bush was a war criminal. How we were killing innocent men and women and children overseas."
