Is My Pet Bird Sick?Your Pet Pros : July 1, 2015 9:44 pm
Having a pet can be a very good thing for you and your family. And pet birds are often among some of the most popular pets that you can get. They are great for families with children and not much of responsibilities, as long as you do a few things for them, you will find that they require less of your time than cats and dogs do. When it comes to bird nutrition, the important thing that you remember is that there are certain things birds eat, and there are certain things that they cannot eat. Getting your bird a right food from a pet store is going to be generally good for your bird, as long as you are sure that you are getting the right type. You need to be sure that you know what kind of bird you have, to provide your bird with the best nutrition. Another thing that you can do is make sure that you give your bird plenty of fresh things that they would find outside, grains and fruits, and other things that are good for your particular species of bird. more »

Discussion in 'New Talent & Track Reviews' started by kantgo, Jun 4, 2009.
heya kantango,
nice tune this,
drums sound nice tight n snappy but i can hear something and im not sure whether its intentional......
i can hear a double splat on the kick drum at the beg of each bar, more noticeable in the drop, it sounds like youve layered a couple of kicks and one is slight off bar n hits just that mili 2nd afterwards.
Also i think the bass could be lifted a little and the spacing off the paddy sounds is sitting in the same tunnel space as the vocal, try pushing the pads out a bit wider and let the vocal cut throught the middle of ya mix
im not slating ya tune dude cz its a pukka tune, the structue, the arrangement and the overall tune idea is spot on!!
just tryner give you some constructive crits and if the double hit on the kick drum is intentional then fair enough
Keep up the good work
we have 2 new 1's up PROPER TINGS AND JEEPERS, if you get the chance drop by and let us know ya thoughts and crits, the main post is in the track reviews
Thanks man its been a long time but worth every bit .i will look in to the thing you have said .
again thanks
liked the vocal sample A LOT. generally enjoyed the feel of the track from the start, only listening on shiiiiite speakers so cant comment on drums/mixdown etc but loved the ideas and movement throughout the track. snare does sound good though thru these shit things.
liking intro sounds, drums are kool, punchy enough but a little rigid, could be a bit smoother
breakdown is nice.......
vocal is real nice too
Drop could do with more sub, lost all its impact when the sub wasnt there
you wanna really swallow the track up with the bass, cos its rockin apart form that
drums need some work eq wise imo but the track is solid man, real good work
quantise the beats too
Just had a listen mate, I like it and the idea of the track overall. The first kick of each drum loop sounds a bit out to me, like Zeal said before quantize your drum hits and it'll sort it out. Also I think the drums need to be a little more 'shuffly' cause they sound a little basic when the track drops, try adding a few ghost hits in the loop to give it more of a shuffle and make them more rolling. I think the vocal is a little too loud in some parts, not by much at all just a tiny bit. I like the bassline but it's too quiet in the mix and sounds like it's at the back when it should be more prominent, doesn't seem to drive the tune like it should.
It's nice to hear people making liquidy tracks, you've got some nice ideas so keep at it man
this is good, keep making tracks please
drums could use some EQ work. just A/B a tune you like and see where you end up
the female vocals are possibly a little too sweet when you do the looping/delayed effect at the end
was expecting a deeper, warmer bline. try a more analog waveform for you oscillators if you have one and definitely turn up the volume. if you can't get the bline to match average RMS with one of your favorite tunes use some sidechain compression

Someone mentioned to me that one of our friends always needs some drama or problem to feel alive.
Why do some people need drugs, extreme sports, drama, etc. just to feel alive, while some people can feel completely alive just sitting on the side and observing?
Is it a chemical imbalance, perspective or something even deeper?
asked 28 Jul '11, 20:07
Wade Casaldi
This is a matter of time. Everyone will experience boredome within their life. Boredome drives people to extreme measures in order to escape it's grasp. Drugs, extreme sports and drama are some modes of stimulation that are ment to cause a measure of stress to rebalance the sensation of satisfaction. These mental transactions affect chemical transactions within the body and vice versa. Perspective is envolved in all affairs and there is always something deeper that what lies on the surface.

as a former drug addict i feel i have a good grip on the ideals behind this. I feel that i have a great connection to my higher self now, back when i did drugs i was so dissconescted, i NEEDED somthing to fill that void. when u loose or never make that connection to higher self teh ego takes over, once that happens WATCH OUT!!! the first thing that happens is it wants all things as a part of the pysical world to get its hooks in, that includes but is not all of the things that you mentioned. all of these things are GREAT tools for teh ego. thats teh entire goal of teh ego, to jkeep you away from teh higher self, to connect to all that is only inside of teh pysiacal system. and teh more you get connected to pysical existance teh less you care about higher self. and when you use drugs, drama , extream behavior, and more, than you are filling that void that you have unstaed of teh connection to higher self. As i realize now, in drugs i lost my soul, i was sooo dissconeted to my soul it was hoprrible, before that even . thats why i loved drugs. but after i get out of that, i see now that the worst days of mee being connected to who n what i TRULY am,, i now see that is 100x better than my BEST day on drugs. and when you do not have that connection , your ego will use anything to take the place of that "alive" feeling you have in your heart from being connected, and its a great tool to hold us away from that connection! hope it helped.

Most people at some point seek outside themselves for relief of those underlying feelings of incompleteness or to fill an imagined void that the egoic mind has created.
There are varying addictions adopted to satisfy this yearning... some more socially accepted than others. However, whether it's drugs or shopping, alcohol or obsessive exercising, any addiction will only ever give temporary relief or pleasure but will never provide lasting happiness... every addiction is an unwillingness to face your own pain.Lasting happiness can only be obtained by going within and facing the pain that one tries to escape from through the addiction.
Ironically when the addiction no longer works those painful feelings resurface even more strongly and this can often be the motivator to push us toward spiritual realization...often we need to have experienced deep pain in order to feel that pull toward our true spiritual identity. In this way that negative cycle actually becomes a positive in our life by pushing us to face our pain and wake up to who we really are.

@B2B...Yes, nice quote :)
(30 Jul '11, 13:24) Michaela
What I have heard about this is that the brain produces a natural drug called adrenaline. Adrenaline makes you high but the purpose is to give you a rush of energy as if your life depends on it! (It is called fight or flight.)
A person can get addicted to this rush of energy. The brain can be fooled into thinking that there is a danger of exhausting the life of the body. This produces the adrenaline and starts the addiction cycle.
To produce adrenaline, people jump off of cliffs with a hang glider; jump with a parachute from perfectly good planes that are flying in the air; ride dirt bike motor cycles and jump off huge hills; and water ski behind a boat going very fast. In other words, people like this will do most anything that causes their hearts to beat hard and fast because they like the feeling that they might die at any moment.
All of these things release adrenaline. This was built into the body long ago to survive being attacked by a Lion, Gorilla, Bear, Shark or what have you. This was not meant for fun, so is this addiction to adrenaline harmful to the body? I doubt it, because we are made for this. These people are just always turning it on to get high.

Endorphins are feel good chemicals. The ones that cause fight or flight are not endorphins but stress chemicals like adrenaline and cortisol.
(29 Jul '11, 14:56) Paulina 1
Yes it's true that some people become adrenalin junckies and do exciting things just to feel the high or rush obtained from the stress response.

well there is always a reason why you decide to experiance drugs and other things. what can that reason be? to party, to try it out and experiance what it does, to replace a void, or to make you feel good and probleme free.the first 2 reason are not to bad onless you get hook on it. as for the other reason drugs or other things will not solve your problem it is only a bandaid and if you do not fix your problem it will only create more problem. so ask your friend what is the reason for what ever it is and you will have your answer. experiance and enjoy.

Do You know, Jeff, if it is possible to make different color schemes (at least) for different domains in multisite configuration using Domain Access?
Comment #1Jeff Burnz CreditAttribution: Jeff Burnz commented
Actually I don't know to be honest, I'd need to test that out and its actually been quite a while since I last used Domain Access (about a year ago on D6). I don't have time to do that sort of testing right now, maybe later in April I could find some time.
Comment #3toxiclung CreditAttribution: toxiclung commented
i use domain access with this theme with different color schemes and it worked just fine :D
but i'm using version 6.x - i havent tested with version 7.x
Comment #4ccoppen CreditAttribution: ccoppen commented
|» 7.x-2.0
It works out of the box with Domain Access on 7.x-2.0. I just tested it with 6 different domains created using Domain Access.
To use it, you have to enable the Domain Theme module.
Then, go to Structure->Domains
Click the theme link for each domain.
Your default domain can be edited from the Appearance link.
I'm using the Footheme subtheme inheriting from the Pixture Reloaded.
Comment #5Jeff Burnz CreditAttribution: Jeff Burnz commented
Awesome news, so what is the setup you are using - do you have Adaptivetheme and Pixture Reloaded in sites/all/themes and you set the theme configuration from within Domain Access - no need to copy or build extra subthemes etc?
Comment #6ccoppen CreditAttribution: ccoppen commented
I have adaptivetheme, pixture_reloaded, and footheme and then my copy of footheme in sites/all/themes.
After a little bit of research the Domain Access Issue queue, I discovered that the management of the themes is done from the Domain access area.
No extra configuration necessary other than what is needed for the setting up of the subtheme of pixture_reloaded from the copy of footheme.
Until I configured my themes from the Domain Access theme settings, all sites looked the same.
Basically, you cannot configure your theme for each domain from the Appearance area. You have to configure from Domain Access.
Comment #7Jeff Burnz CreditAttribution: Jeff Burnz commented
Change to documentation task, I want to write this up as a how to guide. Thanks for all the feedback, really useful information.
Comment #8robidigital CreditAttribution: robidigital commented
|» 6.x-3.2
Since each domain's theme must be adjusted from Domain Access, this means that in order for individual domain owners to edit colors, logo etc of their assigned theme, I must give their specific role "administer domains" permissions? When I do so, the user now has access to the theme settings for all domains. Is there a way to limit their access to only the theme settings of their assigned domains?
Thanks in advance!

Why Did the Secret Service Leave the President and a School Full of Children in Danger in the Middle of the 9/11 Attacks?Mar 7
March 4, 2017
911 Blogger
President George W. Bush was allowed to continue with a routine visit to a school when the terrorist attacks occurred on September 11, 2001. Remarkably, members of the Secret Service and other personnel responsible for protecting the president failed to evacuate him from the Emma E. Booker Elementary School in Sarasota, Florida, after they learned that a second plane had crashed into the World Trade Center and it became clear that America was under attack.
As the nation's leader, Bush should have been considered a likely target for terrorists. Furthermore, his schedule had been publicized in advance and so terrorists could have found out where he would be on September 11.
And yet, after arriving there shortly before 9:00 a.m. on September 11, Bush was allowed to stay at the Booker Elementary School until around 9:35 a.m.–almost 50 minutes after the first hijacked plane crashed into the World Trade Center and over 30 minutes after the second hijacked plane hit the Trade Center. He left the school just two or three minutes before a third attack occurred, when the Pentagon was struck.
The Secret Service's failure to promptly evacuate Bush from the school is particularly baffling in light of the accounts of some key officials who were with the president that morning, in which these men recalled being worried that the school would be attacked. There were even concerns that terrorists might crash a plane into it. The failure to evacuate the school is also alarming in that it left hundreds of people there–not just the president–potentially in danger.
It would be wrong to attribute the inaction of the Secret Service to incompetence. Agents who were in Sarasota for Bush's visit to the city were highly skilled individuals. They arranged extensive security measures for the visit, and they acted with great urgency and professionalism as they protected Bush after he left the school. They appear to have only failed to adequately protect the president for a period of about 40 minutes in the middle of the 9/11 attacks, after he arrived at the school.
We need to consider, therefore, whether the inaction of the Secret Service at this critical time is evidence of something sinister. Could efforts have been made to somehow put the agents in Sarasota into a state of paralysis? They might, for example, have been tricked into thinking the reports they received about the terrorist attacks in New York were simulated, as part of a training exercise.
The inaction of the Secret Service could in fact be evidence that, in contradiction to the official narrative of 9/11, rogue individuals in the U.S. government were involved in planning and perpetrating the terrorist attacks on September 11.
On the morning of September 11, 2001, President Bush was scheduled to visit the Emma E. Booker Elementary School in Sarasota, Florida, where he planned to take part in a reading demonstration, and then talk to parents and teachers about his education policies. [1]
His motorcade left the Colony Beach and Tennis Resort on Longboat Key, where he'd spent the previous night, at around 8:39 a.m. on September 11 and headed to the school. At 8:46 a.m., American Airlines Flight 11 crashed into the North Tower of the World Trade Center. [2] Numerous people in the motorcade, including White House officials, military officers, and journalists, learned about the crash as they were being driven to the school. [3] But no one called the president to tell him what had happened.
Bush was first informed about the crash at around 8:55 a.m., when he arrived at the school. Navy Captain Deborah Loewer, director of the White House Situation Room, ran up to him and said, "Mr. President, the Situation Room is reporting that one of the World Trade Center towers has been hit by a plane." "This is all we know," she added. [4]
(Administrator's note: Bush admits he SAW the plane hit the first tower. How did he see that unless the Mossad agents who were filing the attack were sending him the live feed? )
Bush was told about the crash again by Karl Rove, his senior adviser, as he was shaking hands with members of the official greeting party outside the school. [5] He has recalled thinking at the time that the incident must have been "a terrible accident." [6]
He then talked on the phone with National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice, who was at the White House. She told him the plane that struck the World Trade Center was a commercial jetliner, not a light aircraft. But Bush still thought the crash was an accident and went ahead with the scheduled event. [7] At 9:02 a.m., he entered the second-grade classroom of teacher Sandra Kay Daniels to listen to the students reading. [8]
A minute later, United Airlines Flight 175 crashed into the South Tower of the World Trade Center. Bush was alerted to what had happened at around 9:05 a.m. to 9:07 a.m., when Andrew Card, his chief of staff, approached him and whispered in his ear: "A second plane hit the second tower. America is under attack." [9]
Despite receiving this devastating news, Bush carried on as if nothing was wrong. "In the middle of a modern-day Pearl Harbor," author James Bamford commented, "he simply turned back to the matter at hand: the day's photo op." [10] Significantly, author Philip Melanson pointed out, "no [Secret Service] agents were there to surround the president and remove him instantly." [11]
Bush listened to the children reading for five minutes, and then spent at least two minutes asking them questions and telling the school's principal about the second crash. [12] He left the classroom shortly before 9:15 a.m. [13] He was still sticking closely to his schedule, which specified that he would conclude his participation in the reading demonstration at 9:15 a.m. [14]

The District protects its facilities with electronic monitoring, alarms and security patrols. In addition, the public is asked to immediately report any suspicious activity involving District property by calling the continuously-staffed Control Center at 925-688-8374. In an emergency, please contact your local police department by calling 911 immediately.
With the help of the community, the District can avoid the outcomes of vandalism and theft, including costly repairs, unplanned replacement of equipment and inconvenient water outages in neighborhoods.
Suspicious activity that should be reported immediately includes vandalism, individuals working at odd hours, unmarked vehicles loitering near or accessing District facilities, partying on District property, and unidentified individuals who appear to be taking equipment or materials from a site.
The public's help is greatly appreciated as the District works to maintain the condition of its facilities and provide uninterrupted, cost-effective service to 500,000 residents in central and eastern Contra Costa County.

|Oracle FAQ
|Your Portal to the Oracle Knowledge Grid
Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: Please How can I verify corruption in an archivelog
Not that I'm aware of, no.
Way back when we were on Sequent Dynix/ptx (don't remember the Dynix/ptx version, but it was back in Oracle 8.0.5 days), we actually ran into a really bizarre bug that caused archive log corruption. So, every archive log generated needed to be validated. Our DBA at the time (I was but a lowly developer back then), set up a way to validate archive logs by creating a standby database, but with only the basic SYSTEM and UNDO tablespaces. You don't need a full copy of your source database, if you don't care about keeping instances in sync. So, he set up a minimal standby database, and as archive logs came off the primary, we applied them to the standby, to validate they were not corrupt. If one came up corrupt, we knew we were at risk and had to schedule another full backup ASAP. This went on for several weeks, until the bug was resolved.
So, if you have a large or indefinite number of archive logs to validate, doing something like the above ought to work.
If you're just talking about checking a single log, what I describe is probably not worth the effort to set up.
Can you tell us more about your situation?
PS Remember this fun time in your career, Riyaj?? ;-) And I know Kevin remembers this too, as he worked for Sequent at the time!

It probably won't be until mid to late March that we finally roll out McKenzie Wark's GAM3R 7H30RY Version 10.1, but substantial progress is being made. Here's a snapshot:
After debating (part 1) our way to a final design concept (part 2), we're now focused (well, mainly Jesse at this point) on hammering the thing together. We're using all open source software and placing the book under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 2.0 license. Half the site will consist of a digital edition of the book in Word Press with a custom-built card shuffling interface. As mentioned earlier, Ken has given us an incredibly modular structure to work with (a designer's dream): nine chapters (so far), each consisting of 25 paragraphs. Each chapter will contain five five-paragraph stacks with comments popping up to the side for whichever card is on top. No scrolling is involved except in the comment field, and only then if there is a substantial number of replies.
The graphic above shows the color scale we're thinking of for the different chapters. As they progress, each five-card stack will move from light to dark within the color of its parent chapter. Floating below the color spectrum is the proud parent of the born-digital book: McKenzie Wark, Space Invader (an image that will appear in some fashion throughout the site). Right now he's a fairly mean-looking space invader — on a bombing run or something. But we're thinking of shuffling a few pixels to give him a friendlier appearance.
You are also welcome to view an interactive mock-up of the card view (click on the image below):
The other half of the site will be a discussion forum set up in PHP Bulletin Board. Actually, it'll be a collection of nine discussion forums: one for each chapter of the book, each focusing (except for the first, which is more of an introduction) on a specific video game. Here's how it breaks down:
* Allegory (on The Sims)
* America (on Civilization III)
* Analog (on Katamari Damarcy)
* Atopia (on Vice City)
* Battle (on Rez)
* Boredom (on State of Emergency)
* Complex (on Deus Ex)
* Conclusions (on SimEarth)
The gateway to each forum will be a two-dimensional topic graph where forum threads float in an x-y matrix. Their position in the graph will be determined by the time they were posted and the number of comments they've accumulated so far. Thus, hot topics will rise toward the top while simultaneously being dragged to the left (and eventually off the chart) by the progression of time. Something like this:
At this point there's no way of knowing for sure which part of the site will be more successful. The book view is designed to gather commentary, and Ken is sincerely interested in reader feedback as he writes and rewrites. There will also be the option of syndicating the book to be digested serially in an RSS reader. We're very curious to see how readers interact with the text and hope we've designed a compelling environment in which to do so.
Excited as we are about the book interface, our hunch is that the discussion forum component has the potential to become the more vital half of the endeavor. The forum will be quite different from the thousands of gaming sites already active on the web in that it will be less utilitarian and more meditative in its focus. This won't be a place for posting cheats and walk-throughs but rather a reflective space for talking about the experience of gaming and what players take games to mean. Our hope is that people will have quite a bit to say about this — some of which may end up finding its way into the book.
Although there's still a ways to go, the process of developing this site has been incredibly illuminating in our thinking about the role of the book in the network. We're coming to understand how the book might be reinvented as social software while still retaining its cohesion and authorial vision. Stay tuned for further developments.

Shane Burton was recently hired by the Choctaw County School District as the principal of Weir Attendance Center.
"I'm excited about being here (WAC). Weir has a lot of tradition and I'm glad to be a part of that. I'm part of the Weir family," said Burton.
He, a Choctaw County native, comes to WAC from Louisville High School where he was assistant principal for one year. Before becoming LHS assistant principal, Burton taught and coached at Ackerman High School for 16 years.
"I'm excited about being back in the county. I'm glad to be back to contribute and help," said Burton.
He looks forward to working with the parents and community members of Weir and encourages their support for the students and school.
After spending many years in the classroom, Burton was ready for a change and new challenge. He chose to further his career by entering educational administration.
"Opportunities are good in education. I was ready from something bigger and better," said Burton about becoming a principal.
As principal, he describes himself as "very fair," "believes in discipline" and "believes in holding students and teachers accountable."
Burton is excited about the upcoming school year and the future.
"We-the administration, teachers and faculty-have been working very hard this summer to get the school ready for the coming year. We have good facilities here, we are cleaning up, getting the rooms ready," said Burton.
He looks forward to the future at Weir Attendance Center also.
"I'm excited about the possibility of restructuring and having a county middle school here. I think it could be one of the best middle schools in the state," said Burton.
He has many plans for the 2012-2013 school year and many more years after that. Burton is married to Vonda Burton, librarian at Eupora Elementary School and he has three children-Ethan, Noah and Jesse.
Weir Attendance Center will hold an Open House on Tuesday, August 7 from 5 p.m.-7 p.m. with a Parent Assembly at 5 p.m. Parents are encouraged to attend, meet their children's teachers, bring school supplies and high school students' schedules will be available.

Guest Post by Kathy Cady
It is certainly normal for customers to patronize the products or services of a company which they believe in. These customers would even become loyal patronizers if they know that they are being valued by the company. However, if something goes wrong with the way they are being treated, customers would never hesitate to turn their heads to other companies who offer the same product or service. If you are an entrepreneur or a businessman, check out the following ways to lose your best customer and avoid doing any of these:
Lack of appreciation
One of the most common reasons that customers turn the other way is because they do not feel that they are being appreciated. Even a simple "thank you" expressed with the sincerest smile is already enough to make your customers feel appreciated. However, some business owners are just too busy doing so many things that they forget to do one simple act of appreciation. As a result, their best customers slowly disappear.
Failure to listen
If you hear your customers complain, listen. They are not complaining because of a nonsense thing. If you make it a habit to ignore small complaints, more and more customers will stop patronizing your product or service just because of that complaint which you think is "nonsense". Listen to them; they have a story to share which can help bring your business to the ladder of success.
Unfulfilled promises
Promises are the salespeople's most favorite way of making their customers believe. But, when none of these promises are being fulfilled your customers would certainly end up feeling that they were only wasting their time and money for your service. Once you promised something, find all ways to fulfil these. Better yet, avoid promising. Just continue to deliver the best for your customers.
Low quality service
The best way to maintain your customers' loyalty is to see to it that your product is constantly updated. Take the time to ask your customers how you can improve your product or service. Do not hesitate as well to ask about the flaws that they have observed regarding your service. This way, your best customers will feel that their voices are heard and their loyalty is being valued.
Failure to take action
The moment you notice that there is something wrong about your service or product or with the way your business is being run, take action right away. In every business, small problems should not be ignored. Otherwise, these small things will soon escalate and before you know it, you are already losing plenty of your best customers.
Repeating the same mistake
If there are some mistakes along the process of providing service, make sure to ask for apology and avoid doing the same mistake again. Customers would often end up feeling so frustrated and even furious once they find out that they become victims again of the same mistake committed by the same company.

On Broadway, $6 Moe serves up food, gossip
In the city of Somerville, David Stewart sells hotdogs, hamburgers and sausages from a food trolley. To everyone who knows him, he's just $6 Moe, a man who engages his patrons with a little talk of the town while filling their stomachs.
Moe's a metro sponge, soaking in the local gossip. He's got inside information and good food, too.
On Broadway, by Trum Field, it's another brisk autumn day. A slight breeze whisks by the trolly trailer.
Inside the trailer, which Moe's wife bought for him, sweet sausages sizzle on the char broiler awaiting a hungry customer.
The banter at Moe's stand sizzles as steadily as the grill.
"I wasn't here last Friday," says a sausage-ordering customer.
"Ah," Moe acknowledges, turning the sausage.
"Cause they said it was gonna rain all day," the customer reminds him.
"You know you can't listen to these guys," Moe says.
"I could be a weather man," the customer replies, "honest to God. I'm not lying to you. A chance of rain and in the winter, chance of snow."
Conversations between Moe and his regulars switch from the weather, to sports, to family matters. Moe knows everything from the upcoming rainstorm and football game scores to who has a newborn baby on the way.
Man of Many Trades
Fifty-five years young, and Cambridge-raised, Moe grew up on Huron Avenue. His mother grew up on Putnam Avenue in the Central Square neighborhood of Cambridge, just two blocks south of Massachusetts Avenue. The area was referred to as Kerry's Corner, because it seemed as though everyone from Kerry Ireland ended up in that section of Cambridge.
Moe, whose nickname comes from his wife, moved to the Somerville neighborhood of Ten Hills some 24 years ago. By then, Cambridge cost too much.
Over the years he has worked in a garage, as a general contractor, and then convenient store clerk. But his favorite line of work was cooking.
Before Moe ran his own food trolley, he worked for Sammy's Deli in Kendall Square.
"It gave me someplace to go for my mind," he says. "I got a bad ticker, so it wasn't too much pressure for me."
When Sammy sold the business about ten years ago, Moe needed a new job. His wife, who at the time worked as an accountant for American Express, found the trailer online and bought it, Moe recalls, for about $26,000.
A Business Is Born
Moe began his new business in the city of Everett. He found a spot beside Best Buy in a commercial area with about 2000 employees. But, business was slow. Moe stuck it out for a year, selling burgers and hotdogs for $5 a pop back then. Most days, he recalls, he lost money.
Now, a decade later, business is slow again. Even so, his $6 meal deal is a staple in the Somerville community. So is he.
Kenny Suthar is one of Moe's cronies, and calls him an "icon" in the city of Somerville.
Like other Somerville locals, Suthar refers to Stewart only as Moe, a.k.a. $6 Moe.
He is a piece of the city's proverbial glue.
"I've been here so long. I'm grandfathered in with the guy down at Home Depot," Moe says, referring to the only other city-sanctioned food trolley vendor in Somerville.
Every time one of his friends, like Suthar, drives by, they honk their horn to say hello.
At his main location, in front of Trum Field, which is in the Magoun Square neighborhood, Suthar, a plumber often visits.
"It's nice to see that red truck on Broadway and to see the smoke coming from Broadway and know it's not a fire," Suthar jokes.
Though Moe is off the road in the dead of winter, Suthar says that's when he craves Moe's burgers.
"I have a hankering for his burgers right around February," he says.
"He must be putting something in those burgers," he adds. "I've talked to some people and they say the same thing."
The Burger Connoisseur
Almost every morning Moe picks up fresh buns from a local bakery.
Once a week he stops by a Boston meat market for hot dogs and hamburgers. His sausages come from Bianco & Sons Italian Sausage on River Street, out of Revere.
When it comes to cooking, Moe's got his preference. "I like the flame cooked," he says. "I just think it holds too much grease in, with the flattop."
His Moe meal – 6 bucks – is a sausage, sandwich or sub with soda and chips.
"I'm cheaper than Burger King," Moe declares.
And he likes to eat what he sells.
When Moe goes out to dinner he eats burgers, too, but not at fast food joints. Instead, he goes to restaurants, comparing and contrasting his product with their burger.
The Regulars
Many of the same faces frequent Moe's B.B.Q. Trolly each day.
One regular is Paul Frazer, who motors-down on his wheelchair on nice days.
Frazer, 74, used to be an assembler for centrifuge machines in Needham. Now, after suffering a stroke, he is confined to his wheelchair.
He's been visiting Moe for five years.
"We keep each other company," Frazer says.
Frazer likes the food but he likes the company more. His favorite food is peanut butter crackers, which Moe will sometimes stock.
"Once in a while he'll go up to New Hampshire and bring me back a box of them," Frazer says. "And, he won't let me pay for them."
Moe uses Frazer as his weather vane. "So, as it gets too cold he has to put his wheelchair away and I know it's time for me to close," he says.
But Moe continues to serve food into the cold months on a reduced schedule, coming out and braving the weather now and again.
Dreams of a Warmer Climate
Someday, he says, he'll move south.
"Summers on the Cape and winters in Florida," he says wistfully.
But right now money is tight. Moe has a hard time believing in a profitable future for the food-vending business.
To add padding to his wallet, Moe also works on Tufts campus pulling late night shifts.
With a gallon of gas near $4, he figures, this economy is never going to come back. Unless the cost of a gallon returns to $2 he thinks he may have to raise the cost of the Moe meal deal, but wonders whether anyone can afford the increase.
Some day's only 20 people come. He feels like it's a dying business.
"At least I get out of the house," he says.
Most days he doesn't even break a $100 profit, he says. On bad days, he admits, it doesn't even cover the cost of his propane tank.
Yet, in Somerville the Aldermen have recently passed a new pilot program allowing more food trucks to do business.
Moe thinks it's a foolish idea, since there aren't many more prime locations to park the food trucks.
"I don't think it's gonna work," Moe says renouncing the idea with touch of denial.
While the competition and costs are on the rise, Moe is still hopeful about his business.
In the meanwhile he'll keep cooking and talking, one hamburger at a time. And, perhaps someday, he'll make the shift to become $7 Moe.

"Someone came up in my mouth invested". Violin said that not talking about creating a "ghetto" for those unable to learn Ukrainian
Violin: Ukrainian "ghetto" has long been established in Ukraine
Photo: Oleg Skrypka / Instagram
Ukrainian musician, frontman of the band "Vopl Deplasa" Oleg Skrypka said that not talking about creating a "ghetto" for people who can't learn the Ukrainian language, reports the Russian news Agency NSN on the website which posted the audio feedback of the musician.
"It is not my statement. Someone came up in my mouth put, of course. Condemned what I said. And someone is already condemned, so how would all discuss it. But as public (can be disproved. – "GORDON"), if a man speaks and his words do not pass, and there's some kind of fake? Here's my position: there is a pressing situation in Ukraine with the Ukrainian language: Ukrainian "ghetto" has long been established in Ukraine", – said the Violin.
He noted that Ukrainian-speaking people in Ukraine do not have access to Ukrainian books and music, as it is not in the air.
"On the radio only vyborola 25%, this quota is not fulfilled. On television, there are no Ukrainian music, Ukrainian books and Ukrainian "ghetto" created Avakov. Everything is flipped upside the head, and problems are created, voiced the problems alleged Russian language, which here really just feels and swung his legs in Ukraine, so, here's the situation", – said the Violin.
In an interview for "school of journalism "the Ukrainian truth" the musician said that people who can't learn Ukrainian, are morons and have low IQ. Violin has offered to create for them a ghetto. The musician added that he would like to live in a completely Ukrainian-speaking cultural environment.
Violin yesterday said that his statement, "from which the jugglers with words and "pathologists" content pulled and dissected the word "ghetto" quite unique".
The speaker of the Ministry of foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation Maria Zakharova, in response to proposed issue of the word Violin in stretch marks and hang from Boryspil airport to downtown, so as to meet the participants of "Eurovision 2017".
The Minister of internal Affairs of Ukraine Arsen Avakov called a musician with an idiot and his words "fake pearl".
According to the poll conducted in December 2016, 68,8% of Ukrainians consider their native language Ukrainian, 27% – Russian.
Research center Euromonitor International said that in most post-Soviet countries the number of Russian decreases. It was noted that in 1994 to 33.9% of the population of Ukraine said that in everyday life using Russian, in 2016 there were 24.4 per cent.
Article 10 of the Constitution stipulates that the state language in Ukraine is Ukrainian. It notes that Ukraine "is guaranteed the free development, use and protection of Russian, other languages of national minorities of Ukraine".

All three need to win next week's first knockout round, second legs to reach the quarter-finals after Chelsea lost 2-1 at Barcelona, United 1-0 at home to AC Milan and Arsenal 3-1 at Bayern Munich.
Liverpool were the only winners, beating Bayer Leverkusen 3-1 at Anfield, but they must bridge an eight-point gap on Merseyside rivals Everton to earn a place in next season's Champions League qualifiers.
Europe is also in the spotlight further down the table after Chelsea's League Cup final victory over Liverpool.
With Jose Mourinho's men destined for the Champions League, the UEFA Cup slot normally taken by the Cup winners will revert to the sixth-place finishers in the league -- a position to which Middlesbrough, Bolton Wanderers, Tottenham Hotspur and Charlton Athletic can all aspire.
For the big clubs, the name of the game this weekend will be to get maximum points from the minimum number of first-team regulars.
Sporting glory and huge financial windfalls have made the Champions League the number one priority and teams involved are unlikely to use players who are tired or not fully fit.
The fixture list has, however, given the three top sides a helping hand. Chelsea take on a Norwich City team heading for a swift return to the second division and Manchester United play Crystal Palace, who are just one place above the drop zone.
Victory for United would leave Chelsea with only a three-point lead at the top when they begin their game at Carrow Road, though Mourinho's men would have two matches in hand.
Arsenal, despite being hit hard by injuries and suspensions, host struggling Portsmouth, who have lost six of their last seven league games.
Only Liverpool, buoyed by their first-leg lead to take to Germany, have a difficult game in prospect when they travel to St James' Park to face Newcastle United.
Manager Rafael Benitez will expect his side to shake off the disappointment of their defeat in Cardiff as they look to keep the pressure on Everton, who have a much easier looking game at home to Blackburn Rovers.
Tipped for relegation at the start of the season, Everton could be playing in the next Champions League and, with confidence high after last weekend's impressive win at Aston Villa, are likely to give Mark Hughes's men a torrid time.

Our goal is to share the stories of the everyday person in an attempt to expose the beauty and wonder of the seemingly mundane and in doing so, reclaim our sense of self-worth.
The photographs that I took for my Growing apart together project were chosen to take part in Rock Paper Scissors Collective's "Family Portraits" showcase.
