Spray Foam Insulation can increase the value of your home by $2,521
Many people are intimidated by the price and investment of applying spray foam insulation in Santa Monica on their houses. Without being familiar with the enormous benefits that Santa Monica spray foam insulation can supply to their home and family, the opportunity may just be simply ignored. In most cases, spray foam insulation beats all other different kinds of insulation by unbelievable margins. Due to its expansive dynamics, spray foam securely seals just about all corners and crevices, which in any other case, might have been left uncovered. Santa Monica spray foam insulation has proved to deliver more power savings at 50% or higher, as opposed to other forms of insulation which average a cost savings level of approximately 30% only. Air leaks in many cases are one of the primary causes of high power bills. Spray foam insulation generates a reliable airtight seal that has proved to be 25 times less penetrable to air permeation than other kinds of insulation. Spray foam insulation is resistant to liquid. This means that not only can spray foam meticulously seal and preserve your attic room and crawl space from moisture and leakages, but if flooding takes place in the region, spray foam insulation will never be absorbed by water just like other materials will.
Fair price breakdown
Spray foam can be purchased in two different types, open-cell spray foam that's generally $0.45 to $0.65 per board foot and the closed-cell spray foam which can be approximately $0.70 up to $1 per board foot. The standard cost of having spray foam professionally applied is about $2,217 . This amount may differ based on whether or not the house being insulated was newly built or not.

Open-cell spray foam insulation in Santa Monica is actually cheaper only because its formulation does not need a significant degree of chemical compounds. The open-cell composition of this foam can transform it into a stable and robust air barrier. Even though this doesn't supply any kind of water-vapor filter, it does produce noise reduction. Closed-cell spray foam insulation in Santa Monica is notably denser and a lot more expensive as compared to open-cell foam. The cellular composition is reduced even more, letting it produce a dominant air barrier in addition to a superior water vapor barrier. This type of spray foam insulation is generally used for roofing jobs or many other outdoor applications for which open cell spray foam is simply not advisable. It can be applied at any place inside the house.

The last time veteran Joe Viracola saw his newly purchased 1963 Ford Falcon, it was sitting in a Los Angeles church parking lot. Then it got ripped off.
Thirty years later, the California Highway Patrol recovered his rare, long-lost Falcon Sprint — fully restored from top to bottom.
"Man, what a story — unbelievable. It was stolen from me 30 years ago!" said Viracola, 83, from his home at the William J. Pete Knight Veterans Home in Lancaster, run by the state Dept. of Veterans Affairs. "And the thing was better than when I had it.
"My eyes jumped out of my head. I couldn't believe it. It had 76,000 miles on it. Good as new — the upholstery, the paint job, the chrome. Everything."
Flashback to the summer of 1984.
Viracola, a U.S. Army vet, was working as a patent-design engineer when the bullet-nose Ford caught his eye. The white Falcon Sprint, new for 1963½, was a two-door hardtop with gray-and-white bucket seats. More important, it had the 164 hp "Challenger" 260-cubic-inch V-8 engine.
One of 10,479 built, the muscle car was the rare predecessor for the iconic Mustang released one year later. It was also the ride budding comedian and eternal car buff Jay Leno always dreamed of owning.
"I knew it was good merchandise," said Viracola, then living in Santa Monica and buying and selling cars on the side. "It was well kept. I got a good deal on it. It was cherry."
Two weeks after he bought it, it was boosted from the lot outside First Baptist Church in West Los Angeles, and Viracola thought he'd never see the car again.
Then early this month, a CHP officer called the veterans home to say they'd found his car. Some hapless motorist recently paid an unknown price for it, then tried to register it at the Department of Motor Vehicles in Torrance, where it was seized after the vehicle identification number came up stolen.
And on Tuesday, the CHP told Viracola he could come to the Carson to pick up his former beloved.
"I said, 'Do you have the keys for it?' "
"He said, 'It's been recovered, it's your car.' "
"I said, 'Does it run?' "
"He said, 'My gosh, it's better than new.' "
Viracola had the car towed back to the Cal-Vet home where he's lived for two years, creating a sensation among its mostly 60 veterans, a third of them from World War II.
"We're all happy for him," said Norman Andrews, director of the Knight Veterans Home, which lists three available beds. "All of us should have our cars stolen and returned 30 years later, fully restored."
But Viracola, who drives a 1997 Ford Festiva hatchback, hasn't even taken the new-old Falcon for a spin. He put it up for sale for an undisclosed sum and doesn't want to do anything to jeopardize its value. The proceeds will likely go to his two of three surviving sons back East, he said.
"I gotta sell it. I can't keep it. I can't drive it around — too much risk," said Viracola, who's still awaiting the title and license plates. "I have no reason to. At 83, I'm past the stage.
"I don't want a joy ride."

MY RIDE- Kevin Reilly- 1992 BMW 850-I
While rabbits' feet and precious gems serve as good luck charms for many people, Kevin Reilly prefers something a little bigger– his BMW 850i. And not only is it lucky, it's unusual.
"During the production year of my '92, they sold only 200 in the U.S," Reilly says.
The rarity of Reilly's model and its luminous silver color turn heads all around town, but the shiny car also draws negative attention.
"When cops stop me for speeding tickets– which is often– they always say 'This isn't a '92!' because it looks like a new model," Reilly says.
The car is but the latest in a series of four BMWs Reilly has purchased over the years. High speed is a big draw, he says.
"I took it to a race track at Summit Point, West Virginia with four or five other guys with BMWs," Reilly says. "I got it up to 140 mph on a straightaway."
While the powerful V-12 engine results in sticker shock at the gas station, the pride Reilly takes in his car makes it worth getting just 12 miles to the gallon.
"Everyone tells me it's the sexiest BMW they've ever seen," he boasts.
Kevin Reilly
What drives you? Call 295-8700 ext. 239, then pull up in front of Hook headquarters at 100 Second St. NW, and tell us why you love your ride. Each week's featured driver will receive a free car wash courtesy of H&H Quality Car Care.

The SSPX is at a crossroads. The Pope is pushing for a decision - for or against the Vatican.
The structure offered by Rome for the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X , "incredibly suitable." This was said by the Superior General of the Fraternity, Bishop Bernard Fellay, at the end of a sermon last Sunday in Vienna. A copy of the sermon is posted on the video portal 'gloria.tv'. (long and in German)
"We remain as we are,"
On the imminent recognition, the faithful would notice no difference to the current situation, Mons.Fellay: ". We will stay as we are,"
The safeguarding of the freedoms of the Brotherhood Bishop Fellay sees as a problem. Currently some points are still unclear. There was a great fear that the Vatican would try to manipulate the SSPX.
Bishops want to prevent a reconciliation
Bishop Fellay indicated that the reconciliation of the SSPX in the mainstream church was controversial. At the same time, he gives the assurance that the Pope wants reconciliation of the Brotherhood in person. This cannot be doubted. "But it is certainly not the will of all in the Church."
"Very significant pressure"
The future conduct of the negotiations Msgr. Fellay does not predict. It could be that the Pope decides within days or weeks. Or he could return the case to the Congregation. In the Vatican, there was "a lot of pressure."
The Pope opens himself to criticism
Bishop Fellay quoted a phrase of the Pope on the situation of the SSPX. Benedict XVI said: "I know that it would be easier for the Fraternity and for me to leave the matter in the present situation." The Holy Father knows that he "will receive criticism" for a reconciliation.
For or against Rome?
In conclusion, Bishop Fellay said that the present "quite comfortable" situation of the SSPX is coming to an end. The existing road will not be continued: "There will be a result for or against Rome as a result of this situation." Both will be difficult.

Tony Iommi Awarded Honorary Doctorate
Black Sabbath guitarist Tony Iommi has been called a lot of things over the course of his incredible career, and now he can add "doctor" to the list.
The heavy metal legend was recently awarded an honorary doctorate by Coventry University, bestowed "in recognition of his contribution to the world of popular music" as well as "his role as one of the founding fathers of heavy metal music and his status as one of the industry's most influential figures." Calling it "a great honor," Iommi told reporters, "It's brilliant. I couldn't believe it."
Iommi joins a long and eclectic list of honorary Coventry graduates, including the artist George Shaw and Sarah Tremellen, a British entrepreneur who made her fortune in plus-sized lingerie. You can see footage from the ceremony, as well as a brief interview with Iommi, in the above video clip.
As Iommi told reporters at the scene, his appearance at Coventry coincided with a small break in Black Sabbath's current tour; in fact, after picking up his new degree, he headed straight for the airport, where he flew off to Helsinki to join the band for another series of European shows. Current plans call for Sabbath to stay on the road until at least next spring.

Rinse the trout well and pat dry.
Thoroughly mix the flour with 1 Tbsp Chanterelle mushroom powder (see recipe below). Coat the trout with the mushroom powder/flour mixture and set aside. Reserve any unused mushroom powder/flour that remains.
Cut the fresh mushrooms into 1/8th inch slices. Melt the butter in a large saute pan over medium heat. Add the mushrooms and 1/8 tsp of the leftover mushroom powder/flour mixture. Cook the mushrooms, stirring frequently. The mushrooms will release their moisture as they cook. Contintue cooking until they are tender and any liquid has reduced and thickened. Add salt and pepper to taste, remove from the heat and set aside.
Heat a large frying pan (big enough to hold both trout without crowding) over medium high. Add enough oil to cover the bottom of the pan 1/8th inch deep. When the oil is hot, carefully add the trout to the pan. Reduce the heat slightly and cook the fish for about 4 - 5 minutes, or until the skin is browned and crisp. Carefully turn each fish and cook the other side. Remove the trout to warm plates and spoon the chanterelle mushrooms along side. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired.
Chanterelle Mushroom Powder
Carefully brush any visible dirt or debris off the dried chanterelle mushrooms. Place the mushrooms on a cooking sheet or baking pan and place into a 200 degree oven for 15 to 20 minutes. Remove the mushrooms from the oven and allow to cool briefly. Break the mushrooms into small pieces and place them into a grinder or food process. Grind or process the dried mushroom pieces until very fine. Pour the powder through a fine mesh strainer and put into an airtight container. Return any large pieces to the grinder and process again.

Double Bound
Non-member price: $14.61
Publisher's Summary
Nick Nolan's Double Bound reunites us with many of the characters introduced in his delightful Strings Attached: Jeremy, now in a committed relationship with fun-loving, hot-headed Carlo; Arthur, Jeremy's protector, confidant, and mentor; and Katharine, Jeremy's wealthy benefactress, still hiding a slew of secrets and hidden agendas. This sequel displays the same wit, verve, style, and sense of adventure that were so engaging and fresh in Strings Attached. And where Strings Attached playfully alluded to Pinocchio, Double Bound has fun with the "Jack and the Beanstalk" fable.
Just as Strings Attached was Jeremy's story, Double Bound is Arthur's, exploring his troubled relationship with disapproving parents and his precarious years as a gay Marine. However, there's an added element this time out: the stakes are higher, the repercussions more dire, and the choices harder and more consequential. There is a darker feel to this novel, which not only adds depth to the characters but highlights Mr. Nolan's growth and confidence as a storyteller. We've moved beyond high-school concerns into real-world choices, where outcomes are not always tied up in neat "happily ever after" packages."The plot moves along swiftly with great suspense...Double Bound is one of those books that is not easily forgotten...this is the kind of read that will haunt you." - Amos Lassen, Literary Pride

Credible, funny & romantic
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Double Bound continues the story that started in Strings Attached, focussing more on Arthur's character this time. Nick Nolan's writing is a perfect mix of detail and plot advancing narrative. He eloquently and weaves a story you can't help getting wrapped up in.
Who was your favorite character and why?
It's hard not to relate to Arthur as central character in this book.
Which character – as performed by Luke Daniels – was your favorite?
Luke Daniels is a pleasure to listen to. For no other reason than his Aunt Catherine is COMPLETELY believable, I would say she was my favourite.
If you could take any character from Double Bound out to dinner, who would it be and why?
Probably Jeremy Tyler, an old soul even at a tender age.
Any additional comments?
Buy both these books.

Not what I expected, but fun & satisfying 2nd book
I enjoyed the first book in this series much more than I was expecting to and I was quite satisfied with where that tale ended. I had after the "happily ever after" scenarios in my head. When I saw that there was another book the in the series I was torn about reading it. On the one hand, I really enjoyed the first book and was eager to revisit the world and the characters. On the other hand, this book would inevitably alter the what happens after happily ever after fantasies in my head. And it did. It completely dashed all of those visions - shattered them irreparably.
The beginning of this book is confusing as there is some time-jumping that happens. It is also heart-breaking as we see where our beloved characters are, the turns and secrets and reality that contain them. Again, I love the weaving of a classic fairy tale over the latticework of this story. It is intriguing to figure out who planted the beanstalk, what is actually up there in the clouds, and who ultimately will have to chop it down again to protect the world from what is up there.
This story is enchanting, beautiful, dark, frightening, heart-breaking, hope giving and gorgeous. There was a point where I actually cried, and it was not, perhaps the part you would expect to bring tears. Once again, at the end of this story I felt completely wrung out but also completely satisfied. Now I have a whole new set of after happily ever after fantasies, and I've just learned there is a third book to demolish those. I might have to wait a day or two before I go on, but go on I shall. I have faith after the first two books that Nick Nolan will make the harrowing journey through the woods worth it at the end, and that maybe there will even be a Prince Charming and happily ever after to look forward to, even if I have to face some witches and curses first.

The Narrator - EXCELLENT
This is one of those books that I don't think I would have liked as much if I had read it. The narrator, Luke Daniels, was excellent. It is a continuation of Jeremy's adventures from Strings Attached, but from Arthur's POV. In addition there is quite a bit of Arthur's backstory. This is not a HEA, but a HFN. I can't say I liked the ending, but it was OK. I wanted something different for Arthur, but I understand why the author went the way he did. It has a lot of action that the narrator does an excellent job of bringing to life and keeping it interesting. I think the audio version is really the way to read/listen to this book. Well worth a credit.

OK, now that two different reporters have battled for the chance to drag the mother of a victim in the Ray Lewis murder case to the graveyard, what else can the members of the press corps do to demonstrate that their Super Bowl coverage is about the unexpected and unappreciated angles? Looks like it's time to just go ahead and start pretending the famous and obvious subjects are undiscovered gems. A quick peek at Google News brings up these urgent revelations:
• "'Little' Ray Rice is out of the shadows"
• "Attention Deficit: Ray Rice ready to emerge from shadows in Super Bowl"
• "Ray Rice: Hidden in the Wings of a Legend"
Ray Rice has been to the Pro Bowl three times in his five-year career. Last season, he led the NFL in yards from scrimmage. How did these reporters ever tumble to the fact that this guy was around to be written about?
But today's winner is ESPN's Kevin Van Valkenburg, who found another great secret "hiding in plain sight": Ravens safety Ed Reed. Reed was drafted by the Ravens in the first round of the 2002 draft, after two straight All-America seasons at the University of Miami. From those obscure origins...well, let Van Valkenburg tell it:
[I]t's hard to put a finger on what makes it so special. Reed is fast, but he's never been the fastest player on the field. He hits hard, but he's never been the hardest hitter. Yet he's been voted to the Pro Bowl nine times, he's intercepted 61 career passes and scored 13 touchdowns and he is the NFL's all-time leader in interception return yards. His talents are instinctual, intellectual, almost magical in a way because they're so difficult to quantify, impossible to explain.
Yes, how could you possibly begin to quantify the NFL's all-time interception return yardage leader? (A: Ed Reed has 1,541 career interception return yards, including the two longest interception-return touchdowns in history. Also he's a nine-time Pro Bowler.)

The 12th Annual Breastfest Beer Festival and Fundraiser
It all began while a daughter watched her mother fight breast cancer and was shocked to find Complementary Alternative Medical Treatments are rarely if ever covered by health care plans. It was an eye opening experience to discover those treatments made her mother feel better and aided in her recovery.
Thus, The BreastFest Beer Festival, a non-profit 501(c)(3) was born as a way to help raise money for and support the Charlotte Maxwell Complementary Clinic (CMCC), a state licensed non-profit clinic offering alternative medical treatments for low-income women diagnosed with cancer. Located in Oakland and San Francisco, CA, Charlotte Maxwell Clinic includes services such as acupuncture, Chinese and Western herbs, massage, therapeutic imagery, social services, organic foods and transportation. The clinic's core mission is to provide relief from the terrible side affects of cancer and it's treatments (pain, nausea, fatigue, and loss of appetite,) to enhance immune function and better the quality of life for women battling cancer. Low income women in the U.S. are four times more likely to die from their form of cancer than those living above the federal poverty line. For this reason we seek to level the playing field and offer women tools to complete their prescribed cancer treatments, thereby increasing their chances of survival.
In July, 2000 the first Brewfest was held in Marin County, CA, hosting 16 local breweries, it was a successful start for many more to come. Years later, it has grown to welcome 60 breweries, local food purveyors and Bay Area musicians who all join together to help women gain access to alternative means of cancer therapy!
This is a festival organized for the purpose of helping those in need, created in an era in which beer-tasting events were far and few between. The BreastFest has become an elite presence for breweries on the West Coast and beyond, it gives the craft brewing industry a way to create camaraderie for a worthy cause. It's an event at which beer pioneers and festive attendees join hands and give back to the community committed to beating cancer!

PCB headers are a type of electrical connector. Typically, one side of the header is comprised of a series of pins that are soldered to the printed circuit board (PCB) surface.
Why use PCB headers?
PCB header enable the user to make multiple electrical connections to a PCB using one connection block or cable.
Types of PCB headers
PCB headers are made in both socketed (where the connections are housed in a plastic case) and non-socketed pin header types. Socketed connectors are more robust and less likely to cause short circuits, but do take up more space on the PCB. Pin headers, by contrast, are easier to work with and suit a wider range of applications.
Single- or double-row pin headers
The most commonly used types of PCB headers are single- or double-row pin headers. These are produced in matching male and female versions, and are made from folded sheet metal with a square cross-section.
Machine-pin headers
Machine-pin headers have a circular cross-section, which fits more precisely into round PCB holes, providing a better electrical connection, greater durability and an increased lifespan.

Penguin Armies of Doom
"Dude, where's my penguin armies of Doom?"
"In Russia...HOLY SHIT! They have nuclear weapons...and they are using Russia nukes against us."
"Forward! Penguin Armies of Doom!"
"Oh God! They're shooting at me! Good Lord, drive-by! Help! Aaaaaargh!"
The Penguin Armies of Doom, also called the Imperial Penguin Army, are armies of penguins that used to be found only in Antarctica,and in your mothers pantry, but have since spread all over the world after their succerful conquest of the planet Earth.

Early Penguin Armies of Doom[edit]
The first Penguin Army of Doom was established in Quito, Ecuador in 18th century B.C., and was led by General Penggus Maxximus. General Maxximus was a trilingual, speaking Penguinish, Quecha, and Latin. At first, the small army suffered the pain of enlister deprivation. Soon, Colonel Penggus Minnorus (a rather uneducated penguin who spoke only broken Penguinish) came up with the brilliant idea of advertising, and posted these campaign posters all throughout Ecuador. Unfortunately, these signs were soon retired because the words "of doom" had been extracted, and too many non-evil penguins were enlisting. this resulted in the death of many inocent dolphins, the arch-enemy of most non-evil penguins. dolphins where merciless hunted down, and slayn before the eyes of the family, just to be shot to the moon. One simply can not imagine the horrible pain the dolphins must have been in, whilst there guts where leaving the body, in ways they where not ment to. It must have been horrible, HORRIBLE! And if a dolphin loving person would read this he would most certainly not like it. At all. he would be crying right now, because what happened to the poor litle dolphins was too damn painfull, and, oh, the awfull trauma they must have suffered, must be horible. HORIBLE! OH NOES, HOW THE POOR LIL BASTARDS MUST HAVE SUFFERED!
Modern Penguin Armies of Doom[edit]
Today, Penguin Armies of Doom are only found in Antarctica, as that was the only place where penguins could go and not be ridiculed by society. On some godforsaken rock in Antarctica is the sacred statue of Penggus Maxximus, where all members of the modern Penguin Army of Doom are required to sit in front of and stare blankly at for thirty seconds a year. If a penguin loses its concentration while doing so, it has to waddle eighty miles back to the coastline and try again next season. The PAOD is trying to recreate the lost art of alchemy. so far they have failed horribly, so horribly in fact they are trying to bring back Issac Newton from the dead just so he can tell them alchemy fails and thay can kill him.
Leaders Of The Penquin Armies[edit]
The Penquins have two distinct leaders and a number of various "Super-Penquins" (Captain Penquin, WolverPenquin, BatPenquin, CatPenquin, PenquinPenquin etc.) but these are basically Penquin versions of other Superhero's. The proper Leader's are king dedede and Feather's McGraw. There are also unsung heros such as faffy the first.(The first known penguin to fly. All of his children flew too.) And his first son Faffy junior.
Feathers McGraw[edit]
Joint leader of the Penguin Army of Doom, Feathers is currently undergoing a peace talk with America. These ended abruptly last week when both the leaders, having drank copious amounts of beer, started hand to hand combat. Feathers got out by the skin of his beak but did give President Obama a nasty nick. Feathers is currently organising his armies in the South Pole but he sends regular threats of launching ICBM missiles to various parts of the globe in an attempt to scare other countries.
king Dedede[edit]
Don't be fooled by the fact that he looks like a fat puppet, this penguin is actually a deadly threat to all bearkind. King Dedede was born into a broken and poor family, and when his parents died in a freak accident involving two pinecones and a mallet, he enlisted in the Penguin army of Doom. Rising through the ranks quickly, he finally gained joint leadership after being infected by a virus that gave him lazor shooting abilities. Interestingly, hologram Arnold Rimmer, who was once King Dedede's right hand man, donned a red and white checked gingham dress and army boots upon being infected with a prototype of the virus.
One Dedede's more recent cohorts has been reputed to be Stan Lee, which would give credence to his decades long feud with Jack Kirby (although some speculate that Billy Mays is currently also under the influence of king dedede.).
King Dedede's whereabouts is currently unknown since his last battle with kirby, though it is speculated that he is slowly regaining strength to attempt once more to defeat his cunning foe.
Advanced Tactics, Training and Weapon Development[edit]
Until the 20th Century, the penguins still had very primitive training, tactics and weapons. Their military was one of the worst in the globe. The government, at that time, cared neither for the military nor for the penguin's territory.
It's believed that the first highly trained squad of the Penguin's Army Of Doom was Skipper's Squad. This squad was formed when it was demanded an act of espionage in 2008, by the president of Antarctica at the time, Mumble, which, after commoving the world with his history in the movie Happy Feet, won the elections with 60% of the votes (His rival was Pingu, who would later be nominated the absolute leader of the PAOD). He sent orders to King Dedede and Feathers McGraw to send their best squad to New York and do whatever they could to bring new tactics, new training methods and how to develop weapons of many kinds.
King Dedede wanted to send 12 penguins to the city, but Feathers McGraw said the humans would notice very easily that something was going wrong. He suggested sending a squad with 4 penguins. King Dedede accepted the suggestion and decided to send Skipper, Kowalsky, Private and Rico to the territory. This idea would prove being successful. Skipper's squad arrived at New York acting like they were lost, the humans took them to the New York Zoo, they were not only good soldiers, but good actors: everyone in that zoo was fooled.
But after barely one year of espionage the government would demand a reconnaissance in the Island of Madagascar, because there was a possible formation of an Elephants Army Of Doom in that location. But for the lacking of funds this wouldn't happen at that time, but in 2035. This fact was registered and turned into two movies: Madagascar and Madagascar 2, but luckily (at least for the penguins) the penguins weren't noticed so much like the other actors were. This made McGraw very proud, they could be stealthy right in front of the eyes of anyone who watched that movie! These guys showed amazing skills!
They returned to the Zoo, and would end their espionage act in 2011. They came back to Antarctica piloting a stolen C-17 Globemaster III Cargo Plane from the USAF. Carrying weapons (including a Nuclear Warhead), lots of stolen blueprints, projects and a US SOCOM member who worked with the training of the soldiers, which would be interrogated and forced to teach military tactics for the penguins (Since they needed to learn it practicing, and not reading...).
After this act Skipper would be a Colonel of the PAOD, Rico would become a Captain, Private would now be a Sergeant and Kowalsky a Lieutenant Colonel (But their nicknames were still the same, don't ask me why, I am not a penguin…)
It's said that in 2014 the PAOD had over 10000 elite squads. All of them formed by 4 penguins. Some say that these squads were much better trained even than the British SAS and because of this the military strength of the Penguins grew very much. These events would lead to the Invasion and Conquer of Earth by the PAOD.
Invasion and conquest of Earth[edit]
In 2020, Ultimate Overlord Penguin gathered together the Penguin Armies of Doom and became the general of the entire Army. Touring all over Antarctica, the UOP made many vigorous speeches across the frozen continent, saying that the entire planet of Earth will have to be conquered by the penguins. UOP, leading his military penguin followers on marches all over Antarctica, shouted anti-bear slogans and roused the crowds into a frenzy. The penguins have hailed him as the most heroic penguin ever alive. However, there was a growing anti-UOP movement called the Penguins' Liberation Army (PLA), which just wants to get along with everyone.
In 2025, UOP and his force of 6 million penguins arrived on the South American continent and raided Rio de Janeiro, a large city in Brazil consisting exclusively of anti-penguin humans. As the drums rolled, and as chants of anti-human and anti-bear songs grew louder, the penguins stampeded everywhere, onto Copacabana beach, into the stores, into the run-down favela slums, and straight into people's residences. The UOP and his gang of avian hoodlums, looted the whole city and went on to their next destination - Washington DC.
2026 Onwards[edit]
In 2026, Ultimate Overlord Penguin, followed by penguins and even more followers (consisting of ostriches, sloths and a single disgruntled hippo), raided the White House and surprised George W. Bush in the middle of his sleep-talking. As hordes of penguins and assorted animals carried George W. Bush outside and dumped him into a drainage ditch, Bush was heard muttering to himself "I need a new job." And so the penguin forces continued.
By 2030, the situation had grown desperate. Forming an alliance of convenience, humans, bears, and falcons, lead by kirby marched against the dreaded armies of ostriches, sloths and penguins (the hippo had died in a tragic, yet somehow hilarious accident involving white chocolate and hydrogen.). After a gruesome, ferocious battle the penguin armies were defeated. Feathers was put into solitary confinement for life, King Dedede vanished once again and the UOP was banished, along with his remnant troops back to the Antarctic wastealands for genocide, destruction of property, and generally just being a huge dick.
NAPA's antartican invasion and start of war[edit]
In 2500, years after the NAPA SuperHQ invasion, The National Anti-Penguin Association (led by Darth Gluttonus) began a full-scale counterattack on Antartica for revenge. Millions of penguins were killed and billions were left homeless. This began an ongoing war and conflict between the two organization. Marshall Rico "The Gurgator" Penguin adressed Antartica that a war has begun, and numerous wars, such as Penguin War I and Penguin War II, begun. Blockades are docked near the countries of the world to prevent penguin access, and the PAOD began their own blockade. The two still have conflicts, according to Elephant lover Stephen Colbert, but this was just the beginning of a mass nuclear war.
The penguins started making many nuclear tests. After the Penguins Armies Of Doom nuclear tests, the world got apprehensive, the news were already talking about a possible Penguin War III. But the PAOD leader was found dead at his penthouse. His son Tux, the owner of the Linux software trademark was going to take his place. The world feared a possible proving of strength coming from Tux. He ordered the Penguins Armies Of Doom Armaments Research Industry to start developing the biggest nuclear bomb ever created, with Over 9000 Megatons of destructive power. The PAOD became the biggest threat in the history of Earth, bigger even than the iPods attempt to take over the world. Despite the expectative of the total destruction of the planet, Tux didn't launch this nuclear device on any country of the globe, he declared that before the war there was a need of really big tension, since the war would be registered by many cameramans from Hollywood all commanded by Steven Spielberg which was kept alive by a computer program, developed by the son of Steve Jobs in 2022, called iLife (when people got old they could guarantee virtual eternal life with this program). So as I said this was is going to be a movie, if I tell you what happens after this it's spoiler. But Hollywood let me tell about the trailer:
- "Penguin War III: The Revenge" Trailer:
Narrator: "After the Penguin Wars I and II, the world is about to witness, the third Penguin War"
*Epic/Badass music*
NAPA General: "The penguins went insane after the nuclear tests, this is going to be the ungliest war in history*
Captain talking to soldiers: "Our order team, is to strike first their defenses, we need to take out those AA guns so our choppers can enter their airspace. Move it!"
Narrator: "A Steven Spielberg production"
*Dramatic music*
Hero's Wife talking to him: "Please don't go! We have a family! Think about the kids!"
Hero: "I have no choice, I must defend not only our country, but the world! It's the only way to save we all! I need to go if I want to save the kids! They must have a future!!"
*Epic/Badass music again*
*Gun sounds*
Random soldier: "DIE MUTHAFUCKA!!!!"
*More gun sounds*
Random soldier again: "DIE ALREADY MOTHAFUCKA!!!!!"

Do Penguin Armies of Doom Attack People?[edit]
In short, yes. Penguins are known to attack NAPA soldiers, even sympathetic humans, on sight. They are also merciless hunters of bears, though often the bear will only lose out to swarms of the black-winged foes.
Some penguins, after the great conquest, have went into hiding. They have teamed up with Spartans and evangelical priests, and will go out of their way to convert or destroy sinful penguins. Recently, they have been hunting MasacoX and that Vegeta dude (and the rest of the naruto abridged cast) and will kill them for blaspheming against their holy crusade. Any sightings of these fanatics must be reported to the beararchy military elite immediately.
The Peguin Armies of Doom are equipped with a wide variety of surprisingly effective weaponry. To mention just a few:
- Lasers.
- Sandpaper
- Linux Distributions
- Berretas
- Bowie Knife
- Hex Vision (When blessed by King Dedede.)
- Sporks
- Shi Shi Hokodan
- Chuck Norris
- Double Sabres
- Kitaro albums
- Phychological Weapons (your momma jokes)
- They can also peck your eyes out
- A illegal copy of High School Musical
- Giant trouts, genetically modified to slap things to death with.
- Holographic Porn Distractions (you get the picture)
- Nukes (Only after 2500 a.C.)
Elephant Armies of Doom[edit]
In 2035, elephants in Africa staged a riot against the Penguin Armies of Doom. However, the penguins easily scared the elephants with packs of hairy mice. The elephants were so scared that they were seen spraying their pee up to a distance of 132 miles. Although the elephant rioters were successfully scared off, the new penguin residencies in Africa were unfortunately soaked with bad-smelling elephant urine; thus, the penguins were forced to move into underground caves with some surviving species of Homo erectus cave men because they simply couldn't bear the smell of pee for even 1/1,000,000 of a second.
Dolphin slaughtery and annihilation[edit]
Whilst reading "Early Penguin Armies of Doom", you must have been wondering, why, oh why, penguins hate dolphins so much. And that is exactly the question! the answer? We don't know, and can only give forth our suspicions. The most accepted theory is the "CIA - Circle Innane Aquatics" theory, which is based on the fact that penguins and dolphins live in the same waters. Also the fact that dolphins are far more adored, whilst not being half as cute as penguins are. On the other hand, the great war that has been raging between penguins and dolphins since 8263 B.C. might also cause some inconveniences.

For all the concern over Diablo III's requirement to always be online - and it's a very legitimate concern, given many people's twitchy connections - let's not forget the trivial flip side to that situation: the gamers trying to push the limits of just how connected they can be while playing.
Reddit user puttputt has posted some images of he and a friend playing the game on top of Canada's Mt. Yamnuska (7,349 ft high!), using their laptops tethered to a 3G connection picked up on their mobile phones.
It was hardly an ideal situation, with ping in the 300-2000 region resulting in fairly laggy conditions, but they say it was playable.
Playable and beautiful. That's one hell of a view.

I have resource usage concerns with ZD.
Running: Zimbra Desktop 7.2.1 GA (build 11637) on Windows 7
Against: Release 8.0.0.GA.5434.UBUNTU12.64 UBUNTU12_64 FOSS edition.
We see absurd levels of I/O Read Bytes and an average use of CPU around 10%.
In 24 Hrs we typically see 600GB+ of I/O Read Bytes for zdesktop.exe in Task Manager.
Over a 4 day period a week ago I saw 2.9TB of I/O Read Bytes for zdesktop.exe.
This level of Read I/O is far beyond the activity of even the AV solution on the system.
zdclient.exe uses 1000 times less I/O Read Bytes in the same period.
zdesktop.exe is frequently at the top of the CPU usage also, averaging around 10%.
We've just started to experiment with Zimbra, so I'm barely using ZD to do a bit of email.
I don't see any other reports of this kind of behavior via forum searches.
Oddly this resource usage does not seem to affect the responsiveness of the
computer running ZD, but I'm not willing to bet on the same outcome in
production usage.

Your Body's "Butterfly Effect"
Could This Be the Culprit Making You Feel Tired, Moody, or 'Not Quite Right'?
Have you ever heard of the "butterfly effect"?
In advanced math theory, the butterfly effect describes how a tiny influence on one part of a system can have a tremendous impact on another part.
The butterfly effect suggests that a tiny butterfly fluttering its wings in, let's say, a jungle somewhere in South America . . .
Could actually initiate a storm — even a hurricane — off the coast of Florida, for example.
So what does the butterfly effect have to do with you — or your health — for that matter?
Well, in the next few minutes, you'll read about a tiny cluster of body tissue with a tremendous impact on your overall health.
In fact, in this report, you'll see how this small gland can exert a butterfly-type effect on nearly every part of your body.
You'll see how it could very well be the hidden culprit behind your flagging energy, your moodiness, perhaps even that 'blah' feeling that makes it difficult for you to just get out of bed some mornings.
And best of all, you'll discover how easily you can wake up feeling peppy, more emotionally balanced, and more energetic once again, ready to take on all of life's challenges . . .
So make sure you read this report in its entirety, because it contains potentially life-changing information you won't find anyplace else.
Now the truth is, while mathematicians haven't extended the concept of the butterfly effect to your body . . .
You carry your very own 'butterfly' around with you all the time.
Your thyroid is a small, butterfly-shaped gland in your neck, weighing only about 1 ½ ounces.
The 'wings' of your thyroid butterfly are called its lobes, and they wrap around your windpipe.
And while it may be tiny when it comes to size, many health experts consider your thyroid to be a master gland when it comes to controlling numerous body functions.
From the beating of your heart . . . to the function of your sex organs . . . Your thyroid exerts its powerful hormonal influence on many different and critical body tasks throughout your body.
Just like the butterfly effect when it comes to weather, your neck's tiny butterfly gland can impact nearly every aspect of your health, particularly your energy level, mood, and metabolic functions.
Because according to renowned holistic medical physician Dr. David Brownstein . . .
A majority of American adults suffer from sub-optimal thyroid function.
What's worse, many of those suffering from concerns related to their little pink butterfly don't even know it.
Of course, they don't have the knowledge you'll gain from this report.
Millions of Americans — perhaps even you or a loved one — feel tired, grumpy, or just 'not quite right' . . .
All due to less-than-ideal functioning of your tiny thyroid gland.
And while thyroid concerns are often considered a "woman's issue", they actually affect both sexes, and particularly those middle-aged and older.
But first things first . . .
After mentioning Dr. Brownstein, you may be wondering who he is — and why you should listen to him . . .
Well, David Brownstein, M.D. is a board-certified family physician, and Medical Director of the Center for Holistic Medicine in West Bloomfield, Michigan.
Dr. Brownstein is the author of 11 health books to date, and a sought-after guest lecturer.
He's also medical editor of the popular Newsmax newsletter Dr. Brownstein's Natural Way to Health.
While Dr. Brownstein started out as most M.D.'s do, with the conventional medical model, he quickly realized its shortcomings.
So he plunged full-speed ahead into alternative medicine, and began to use the best of both conventional and holistic therapies in his medical practice. /p>
And just to let you in on a little insider secret, his very first thyroid patient was actually his own father, Ellis.
Researching and solving his father's thyroid concern put Dr. Brownstein on a 25-year quest to learn everything he could about the importance of the thyroid to your overall health.
With everything he's learned along the way, and after seeing thousands of patients, Dr. Brownstein has become one of America's foremost authorities on thyroid health.
He's even written books about the thyroid, and about the importance of iodine to the thyroid and overall health.
So now that you know more about Dr. Brownstein, let's get back to this report . . .
First of all, you may wonder by now whether you should be concerned about your own thyroid gland.
The National Institutes of Health describes it well:
"You're tired, weak, exhausted, weary, worn out. You have a lack of energy and as a result you feel distressed. You're not functioning as well as you should. It's called fatigue . . ."
Whatever words you use to describe it — dog-tired, pooped out, run down, wiped out, sluggish — fatigue has many causes, and many effects.
For millions of Americans, that sluggish feeling is a direct result of a thyroid gland not functioning at an optimal level.
Perhaps you wake up in the morning feeling OK, but fatigue creeps up on you by lunchtime . . .
Perhaps you need a nap just to make it through the day . . .
Perhaps even mild exercise or activity leaves you feeling wiped out . . .
Feeling so pooped out makes it difficult for you to perform well at work or recreation.
And when you add in mood changes or grouchiness, you may find it hard to maintain normal family and friend relationships, too.
Of course, when fatigue becomes persistent, it's a good idea for you to see your doctor for a check-up.
However, keep reading . . .
Because you'll see shortly why you can't trust the results of a commonly used thyroid lab test — a test many doctors use that often overlooks sub-optimal thyroid function issues.
So even if you hear from a doctor that your thyroid is 'fine',Dr. Brownstein has some advice you'll want to stick around and hear — just to protect yourself . . .
I think you can already see how your tiny thyroid can be a BIG pain in your butt-erfly.
And here's another zinger . . .
You've probably heard since your younger days that you shouldn't worry about iodine, because you get enough of it in iodized salt.
But just keep reading, you'll hear from Dr. Brownstein himself about how an inadequate level of iodine is much more common than conventional medicine believes.
And if you've believed that using iodized salt will give you enough iodine, you simply must keep reading, as Dr. Brownstein will bust that common myth wide open for you.
Dr. Brownstein will also give you some practical tips about what you can do, simply and easily, to boost your thyroid health yourself.
But first, let's return to the 70's . . .
You remember — disco, plaid bellbottom pants, and Bonanza.
Something else happened during that decade, something impacting millions of folks and their thyroid glands to this day.
In the 1970's, the thyroid stimulating hormone test (or TSH test) was developed.
This test was considered an advancement in medicine. Unfortunately, according to Dr. Brownstein, many doctors began to use it as the sole measure of thyroid function.
And as Dr. Brownstein points out, no one test tells the whole story.
He has seen many people with "normal" results on the TSH test who suffer with thyroid concerns.
So what should you do? Well, Dr. Brownstein has 2 pieces of advice for you:
1. Make sure your doctor runs a full thyroid panel, not just an isolated TSH test.
2. If you see your TSH increasing over time, don't wait for thyroid concerns to develop. If your doctor doesn't want to work with you, find one that understands how to properly interpret thyroid tests. A holistic healthcare practitioner will usually be more knowledgeable about this.
With so many issues related to your small pink butterfly, I'm glad we could get Dr. Brownstein to offer you some of his expertise when it comes to your thyroid health.
And, while most people don't realize how essential iodine is to their overall health and wellness, I think you've come away with more knowledge about iodine and thyroid function already.
So I think by now you can see that a good solution to help your tiny butterfly gland function effectively must include some simple lifestyle measures — PLUS iodine, adrenal support, and specific vitamins, minerals, and other key nutrients shown to promote a healthy thyroid.
Remember how Dr. Brownstein found that a majority of Americans suffer from less-than-ideal thyroid function?
This crisis led him to research all the possible natural solutions he could find to help relieve this type of health concern.
And after extensive research, he was successful!
Now you can benefit from this formula . . .
A new natural breakthrough containing 17 hand-picked ingredients . . .
All carefully chosen by Dr. Brownstein to specifically target your optimal thyroid health, along with your adrenal health and general wellness.
If you've read to this point, I know you're convinced that optimal thyroid function is crucial to your overall health. So please claim this opportunity right now, while you're thinking about it.
And remember — you get 17 targeted nutrients in just one doctor-developed formula — nutrients to support your healthy thyroid function.
Just imagine not having to give your little pink butterfly a second thought again . . .
Imagine not feeling so tired, grouchy, or out of sorts . . . and instead, waking up ready and eager to attack your to-do list . . .
What's that worth to you?
P.S.: In addition to a healthy diet and exercise, Actalin could well be what you need to stop feeling tired, moody, or 'not quite right'. Plus, your satisfaction is guaranteed.

"I am a 48 year old woman who has struggled with weight and blood sugar and high blood pressure issues for more than 20 years. I got on the BIG PHARMA cycle of drugs and felt even worse. I stopped the meds and have been trying to use natural ways and I have been following Dr. Brownstein for almost a year, and it was his information about iodine deficiency and all the symptoms it causes that led me to try the Actalin. My life has changed. My blood pressure is under control without meds, my sugar numbers are currently in the 150's, which is lower than I could get when I was on the meds. Even watching my food intake my weight stayed, it didn't matter what I did, but I am now down 25 pounds. I have more energy now than I did when I was in my 30's. Not only has Actalin changed my life, it has saved it. I am actually looking forward to going in for my yearly physical with my doctor!"

Winter is coming. Maybe it doesn't seem like it but once the clock ticks a wee bit more, it's going to get cold, it's going to snow and it's going to be SNOWBOARDING SEASON. To get a little taste, watch these guys snowboard down gigantically scary mountains. I will never be this cool.
The clip is actually a trailer for "This is My Winter" which features Xavier De Le Rue, a French Snowboarder, along with Mathieu Crepel, Andreas Fransson and Samuel Anthamatten. They climb mountains and hit near vertical slopes just to risk their life and snowboard and then do it all over again, the dedication is absolutely inspiring.
If you love the mountains, the snow, or the winter, you'll probably want to watch this movie. They went all around Europe armed with helmet cams and helicopter shots—This Is My Winter will be shown online sometime in mid November. [Vimeo via Hypebeast]
