Day 10 - Singapore
Trip Start
Mar 29, 2013
Trip End
Aug 17, 2013
Playtime for all of us this morning on Sentosa - an island resort in Singapore. After Dylan's favourite breakfast of "cake", well the healthier looking Starbucks muffins, we were all fuelled and ready to go. Dylan and Emma went up the Tiger Sky Tower - 131m above sea level it's a revolving observatory tower, Asia's tallest apparently. Nice views of Sentosa and Singapore.Dylan preferred to look down to see if he could spot Rich and Taya below.
Next was the Luge, part go-cart, part toboggan, it's exactly the same as the one in Rotarua New Zealand. Despite saying its suitable for all ages it was apparently not for Taya. Other than the helmet not fitting we are not exactly sure why not, but hey ho. Dylan and Emma donned their helmets and set off down the run. Dylan is of course the driver!! Our little thrill seeker squeals his way down "faster mummy faster".
Next stop Port of Lost Wonder on Palawan Beach, a big pirate ship water park designed for little tots. Armed with our treasure bags and pirate passports we headed in for a much needed cool down. The ship was surrounded by water guns, sprinklers and filled with slides and chutes. We spent a good few hours playing in the water and shooting each other with the guns. Great fun was had by all.
Jumped in a taxi to go back home with two tired kidlets dropping off in the taxi. Nap time for the children and lunch for the grown ups. Rich goes out in search of food and returns with some wonders from the city where food is viewed as crucial to national identity and a unifying cultural thread; Singaporean literature declares eating as a national pastime, and food a national obsession. Oh yes, a ham and cheese sandwich no less! He did redeem himself slightly with a beer and a magnum ice cream. Missing our queen of cuisine who is working today.
A relaxing afternoon and a little swot up on our next destination - Sri Lanka. Tomorrow morning will be our last in Singapore before heading to the airport. Loved our time in Singapore, such a great city with so many fantastic areas to explore. The heat and humidity would take some getting used to but lovely to have some sunshine after all those dark snowy months.

Obama edging closer to marriage endorsement (before general election)
An informed source, who agreed to speak on condition of anonymity, said active conversations are taking place between the White House and the campaign about whether Obama should complete his evolution on marriage and that the chances of him making an announcement are about 50-50. Good - only 20% say they will not vote for a person who supports equal marriage rights. It's time to be bold and start his second term as a full supporter of all families.

19. Nope, as far as I am concerned
if you're not a hater of LGBT persons and not using it that way, which from this conversation, I feel like I can safely assume you are not, no, it is not offensive. I think you were TRYING to make it offensive to prove a point, though, and I was simply clarifying that you failed. I get that many LGBT people dislike the word. Well, some of us identify as queer. Get used to it, get over it. It is not your place to tell anyone how to identify.

I am saying you are not proving yourself right as you thought you were. I've no idea what your identity is in this context, and do not care. However, it is not up to you to tell me I cannot identify as queer if I want to just because it offends you, and your attempts to shout me down on the matter have failed. Anyway, I am done derailing this thread over an issue that is simply silly, one that many people will never agree on.

that is huge. I really think he wants to, and to drop the PC rhetoric for a moment, I think I can say this as an African American: Black church vote. If he courts queers too hard, gay hating Black Church goers, who are a HUGE part of his base, will rethink. He cannot lose them.

"lose a substantial portion of his base re: re election, if he openly says "gay people should get married."
While I think it is political, it has nothing to do with his base. In other words, he would not lose, as you say "a substantial portion of his base" if he came out with his support for gay marriage. |

As a gay male, I hate to say this, but if it meant the election... I'd rather him say it the day after the votes were cast.
If he says it before, he will be a hero in my eyes. I would probably cry it would mean so much to me. But, I would just hate to think of losing an election like we did in 2000... so close... over something I know the President believes in anyway. And if we lose this election I will cry even harder. Frankly, looking at the alternatives... looking at the Rick Santorums out there... no matter how much we "have this in the bag" I AM TERRIFIED. I don't want this close enough for them to steal |

56. No he has NOT stopped defending DOMA
He has stopped defending one article of DOMA. The article which mandates that same sex marriages do not have to be automatically recognized in other states would still be defended by the administration. Apparently political concerns trump the full faith and credit clause of the constitution.
That said, the fact that he has stopped defending the clause which prevents all same sex marriages from being recognized by the federal government is a huge step forward. |

"But concerns persist on how an endorsement of same-sex marriage would play in four or five battleground states." So his "moral choices" are determined by how they will affect his reelection?

This is election is too important.
I know what Obama believes deep down, and that means a lot to me. And if he came out and said it before the election he would be one of the bravest men in political history. But there is more at stake in this country right now than even my own self-interests. We are trying to save a nation. So if I have to, I can wait a few more months to hear the President voice the opinions I know he already holds supporting gay marriage. |

26. I have spent a good bit of time last night and this morning searching
and have found not one other reference to this. You have one "anonymous source" in the Obama campaign talking to one "reporter" and no confirmation of any description. Why do we pay attention to unconfirmed anonymous sources?
This did not used to be called journalism, and in the past any media with a sense of ethics or responsibility would not publish it. The editor would require then the source's name be published for credibility, or that the information be confirmed with at least one other credible source. This artile is not journalism, it is hackery. It is utterly senseless to be basing a discussion on something that is almost certainly fiction. |

It doesn't mean your point is invalid, but it is similar to journalists who so often spin news the way they favor it.
Given the way news is reported today... it may be true or may not be true. But I don't think it is safe to say, yet, that it is pure fiction. And I don't mean this post to be in anyway angry or antagonistic. |

So far, he seems to be making the safe move IMO. As much as I favor marriage equality, I think he should wait until after his re-election before assessing that. At least with BO, he's entertaining the idea of marriage equality. Those other four guys utterly oppose it.

32. Mildred Loving - 06-12-2007
Surrounded as I am now by wonderful children and grandchildren, not a day goes by that I don't think of Richard and our love, our right to marry, and how much it meant to me to have that freedom to marry the person precious to me, even if others thought he was the "wrong kind of person" for me to marry. I believe all Americans, no matter their race, no matter their sex, no matter their sexual orientation, should have that same freedom to marry. Government has no business imposing some people's religious beliefs over others. Especially if it denies people's civil rights.
I am still not a political person, but I am proud that Richard's and my name is on a court case that can help reinforce the love, the commitment, the fairness, and the family that so many people, black or white, young or old, gay or straight seek in life. I support the freedom to marry for all. That's what Loving, and loving, are all about. http://www.freedomtomarry.org/page/-/files/pdfs/mildred_loving-statement.pdf |

HOW IN THE FUCK is that fair play?
It is people like you that are the problem. You are no progressive -what the fuck are you doing on DU - trolling? Attitudes like yours are why we are still in the dark ages. Should we have left jim crow laws up to the states? Slavery up to the states? States have shown time and time again they can not protect minority rights. |

36. Illinois? Really?
I could see Missouri, but Illinois?
Yes, we have a lot of right-wing religious bigots down south, but marriage equality is not going to cost Obama Illinois. If he lost Illinois, he'd be losing every state in the country. That's not going to happen unless he eats live babies on TV. And maybe not even then. |

72. Are You One Who...
Cannot marry legally in 44 states?
Cannot receive your spouse's social security upon the spouse's death (if over 65)? Cannot be sure that if you make a will, your will will actually be honored and not overturned in favour of your family, even if you are estranged from that family? Cannot be sure that your spouse can make health care decisions for you even if legally empowered to do so? Has to pay a punishing inheritance tax in case your late spouse's will IS honoured and your inherit his property? (Hint: straight spouses are not obliged to pay this tax)? Can still be fired or evicted in 29 states if your orientation becomes known? Then you know nothing about being in a same-sex couple. I am sick to death of us being told to "grow up" because we are sick and tired of being the object of politicial games. |

Because this would undoubtedly be one of President Obama's greatest moments. I would also add that anyone who would blame the Gay community over this, doesn't deserve to be called a Democrat to begin with & should seriously consider joining the party of hatred for all things good. Just my two cents. |

47. If Obama were to make this endorsement, we could see a drastic reversal of 2004.
When asked about marriage equality during the Presidential debates, Bush was solid and direct in his position. Kerry was more lukewarm to the idea and wishy washy, neither for marriage equality nor against it.
Currently, Romney is against nationwide marriage equality but in favor of some limited protections for gay and lesbian couples. In a way, he's in a very similar place to where Kerry was in 2004. If Obama comes out solidly in favor (and I believe, in his heart of hearts, he already is), then it will be Romney left to flounder on this issue in front of a live TV audience. The only people that will not vote for Obama over his endorsement of marriage equality are people that aren't going to vote for him anyway. However, this is an issue that can get the left flank his base fired up and excited and can also attract moderates. It's high time that Democrats put Republicans on the defensive on this issue, once and for all, and Obama has a brilliant opportunity to do so if he chooses to sieze it. But the cynic in me doubts that he will. |

African Americans are in large part opposed to gay marriage and ironically turnout for Obama in CA may have contributed to Prop 8 passing by the margin it did. I wouldn't be surprised if he does eventually endorse it, but I really doubt he'll make any really bold moves before the election. |

54. Shoddy journalism on the mythical gay-black divide
Alright. As anyone whos read virtually any information about Proposition 8 in California knows, the initial exit poll claiming 70% black opposition was incorrect. The National Gay and Lesbian Task Force released a study that was conducted by political scientists disproving the 70% number. Using a flawed exit poll that was taken apart in a comprehensive study is not an effective way to make a point. |

59. He needs to be bold NOW and do the right thing.
On May 8th, North Carolinians will vote whether to amend our Constitution, and Obama unequivocally supporting marriage equality might sway some votes AGAINST Amendment One. Frame it as a civil rights issue, frame it as bad for business, just frame it... the Malleable Middle needs to be LED.
Obama showed tremendous decency in reaching out to Sandra Fluke, and in the sentiment he expressed about Trayvon Martin -- *that* is the sort of thing that appeals to moderates. He can do the same on marriage equality, but will he? |

{My Parties} Bun in the Oven Baby Shower
There's a bun in the oven! And not just mine!
This weekend, I styled a Bun in the Oven baby shower for my friend Erin.
Erin has TWO fabulous Etsy shops that you MUST visit!
She makes gorgeous frames and also handmade fabric bunting, shirts, and capes for children.
You might remember the cape that she made for Greyson's birthday party here.
Erin contacted me a few months back about helping design a baby shower for a very special couple. They didn't want to find out the sex of the baby, so Erin wanted to do a gender neutral shower. So, I proposed a "Bun in the Oven" theme with touches of gingham and retro styling. And, since I am in full-baby mode myself, I had a ton of fun with this theme!
First up, the invitations:
The lovely Kristi at Kristi's Printable Panache custom-designed these invitations for us. I told her I wanted a retro feel with red and aqua and she took my idea and RAN with it!
I was thrilled with the results!
I decided on doing a sweets table and also a savory table to break up the traffic in Erin's home. Her lovely fireplace made the perfect backdrop for the sweets table!
She custom made the bunting for this party! She was in her sewing room finishing it up while I was doing the table. Isn't it SO cute? It would be precious in a nursery!
The painted letters are from Michael's. I bought them in raw wood and had my husband spray-paint them for us. All fabrics (outside of the bunting) are from Joann.
I used vintage blue Mason jars to hold all the utensils at the party. I found these at the local antique mall and couldn't believe my luck! The baby blocks were some cheapies in the tacky party section at Hobby Lobby that we spray-painted to match our theme. I hand-made the felt cinnamon rolls.
Here is a closer look at that adorable bunting! I had the hardest time finding aqua colored candy, but finally lucked out at Super Target on some berry flavored jelly beans and sour patch kids!
All the printables are also from Kristi's Printable Panache, which she custom-designed for me. Aren't they precious?
For the favors, which are later in this post, I ordered custom-made cinnamon roll cookies from Kay's Simply Homemade. They were so soft and tasted awesome! I had some left over, so I decided to put them out on the sweets table as well!
One of my favorite things to serve on a sweets table is Little Debbie snacks. They are so affordable and people love them. Plus, you can find a Little Debbie snack to go with just about any theme. (Zebra cakes, Star Crunches, etc). One of the first things that came to mind for me was these Pecan Rolls. I served them on skewers and put them in these cute little Target dollar bin containers.
I knew that I wanted to do a cinnamon roll cake pop as well, and I couldn't believe my good luck when I found Mom's Killer Cakes on Etsy. She is local, here in Memphis, but ships around the country. So, she and I worked together on creating a spice cake flavored cake pop that looked like a cinnamon roll on a stick! They were DELICIOUS! I can't thank you enough Sarah!
I served them in this precious three tier container that I got at Hobby Lobby. When I saw that container at my friend Meredith's Woodland Bunny 1st birthday party, I immediately asked her where she got it. Hobby Lobby of course!
One of the other menu ideas I had for this party was miniature strawberry shortcakes. I topped them with a paper straw and a cute flag that Kristi included in her package for me.
They turned out so cute!
One of my husband's major projects for this party was making this oven with me. He was so sweet to help me spray paint all kinds of things, but this was a true collaboration. Martha Stewart has a tutorial on this oven craft here. We modified it a little, to fit our theme, and it turned out SO ridiculous! I left it there at Erin's for her boys to play with. It really is such a fun little novelty item!
The cupcake toppers were made by the brilliant Charynn at Two Sugar Babies! I mean, can you get OVER these??!?! I died.
Charynn was totally awesome to work with and I knew that the toppers would be cute, but these are just insane. They are EXACTLY what I had in my head.
The gingham cupcake liners were from HeyYoYo on Etsy. I got those little cooling racks for the "oven" at the Dollar Tree.
A closer look at Erin's gorgeous bunting!
For the favors, I used jelly jars and filled them with the cinnamon roll cookies from Kay's Simply Homemade. I topped them with a little swatch of gingham fabric and a cute ribbon with cherries that I found at Michael's. The little red toy oven was an Etsy vintage find. It was white, but that's nothing a little spray paint can't fix!
On top of each jar, was a small sticker designed by Kristi. It says...."Take your own bun home!"
Isn't it cute?
For a cute little activity, I had Kristi design a "recipe card" for baking a new bun! At the bottom, it said..."From the Kitchen Of...."
I made this cute little recipe box out of a raw wooden box and a cute little rolling pin that I found at Hobby Lobby.
In the dining room, I set up the savory buffet. I didn't want to do a centerpiece, and instead focused on a large hanging arrangement from the chandelier. There, I hung tissue poms, some of my felt cinnamon rolls, lace doilies, lanterns, and more small rolling pins. That vintage Coke crate just keeps coming in super handy!
The savory buffet had pork tenderloin sandwiches with jezebel sauce, strawberry and blueberry skewers, pinwheels, finger sandwiches, BLT dip in a bread bowl, and Asiago Tapenade rolls. I wanted to hint at the cinnamon bun theme by having some things that were rolled.
In the window, I hung more paper decorations to bring a little color to that side of the room.
Hope you enjoyed my Bun in the Oven baby shower!
Congratulations to Heather and Paul!
Special thanks to Erin and Michael who were so great to work with! I look forward to working with them again soon! (After my own bun makes his appearance, that is!) Don't forget to check out Erin's Etsy shops!
You'll LOVE them!

I know I've told you a hundred times already, but this party was PERFECT. You made everything gorgeous, perfection down to the tiniest detail. And EASY (despite my poor time management skills). We had so many compliments and I know P and H had a great time. Thanks again for helping me give these special friends such a fantastic party!
ReplyDeleteThis is so cute! I am thinking of throwing a similar shower for a friend. Where did you get the box for the adorable oven? It looks like it is a box with a lid.

Yo chapter 1 . 2/10/2006 Hey, why didn't you ever continue the story? I thought it was great! |
hproksmyworld chapter 1 . 5/22/2004 I love Eoeyn/ Farimir fics and this is sweet! Please continue this story! Queen Lela |
Mia-Hood chapter 1 . 5/2/2004 Very good, please continue! |
mona chapter 1 . 2/29/2004 Please do continue! I't wonderful... and very desciptive! |
Cassie chapter 1 . 2/24/2004 The veil is an interesting idea, but I think you should edit it so Eowyn doesn't talk of her mother's mother practicing this tradition - Eowyn's maternal grandmother was Morwen of Lossarnach, a Gondorian province, and so probably wouldn't have performed a Rohirric bridal ritual, especially as she and Thengel were living in Gondor at the time. |
arwentheelf02 chapter 1 . 2/13/2004 How do you get so many reviews for a one-shot? lol. This is really really well written and detailed. I love the bit about the veil. That's a nice touch. *holds Peter Jackson at knife point* Why didn't you put Faramir and Eowyn in Return of the King? PJ: It's already three and a half hours! It's the best movie on the earth! You could have at least put in one of the greatest parts! * brandishes knife again* PJ: Meep! |
Kat chapter 1 . 1/30/2004 I'd like more! :-D |

The Effect of Wave Grouping on the Characteristic Wave Height
by Chia Chuen Kao, Nat. Cheng Kung Univ, Tainan, Taiwan,Document Type: Proceeding Paper
Part of: Engineering Mechanics
Abstract: Wave data from two field stations and from the laboratory tests have been analyzed. The groupiness factor is used to categorize the wave data for the discussion of the correlation between the wave height and the wave energy. The result shows that the proportionality coefficient between the significant wave height and the square root of the wave energy is positively correlated to the groupiness factor and it is larger in shallow water than in deep water. The statistical theory overestimates the coefficient except for waves with large groupiness factor in shallow water.

11 October 2016
Women are four times more likely to suffer postpartum venous thromboembolism after a caesarean section compared to a vaginal birth, new Swiss analysis has revealed.
A new study published in CHEST systematically reviewed 60 authoritative studies related to postpartum VTE outcomes, which found that there is a link between having a caesarean section and an increased absolute risk of VTE, including pulmonary embolism and deep vein thrombosis. An emergency caesarean had the greatest risk.
Dr Marc Blondon, lead investigator who works at the Division of Angiology and Haemostasis, Geneva University Hospitals, Geneva, said the risks were largely independent of other factors such as maternal age and body mass index.
"We found that caesarean section is an important independent risk factor for the development of VTE in the postpartum period and that approximately three VTE will occur for every 1,000 caesarean sections performed, with greater risks for non-scheduled emergency caesarean section," he said.
Pregnant women are more susceptible to VTE due in part to venous stasis and trauma associated with delivery, as well as haemostatic changes driving increases in some coagulation factors and decreasing bleeding inhibitors.
However, these changes are worse for women who have a C-section.
"In the postpartum period specifically, women following caesarean section exhibit greater activation of coagulation than women following vaginal delivery, as reflected by greater D-dimer levels," said Dr Blondon.
"This outcome may be a result of the conditions leading to the CS or to the procedure itself, similar to the increased VTE risk following non-obstetric surgery.
"Furthermore, physical activity is reduced following caesarean section compared with following vaginal delivery, with delayed recovery of mobility occurring in the first two days following delivery."
While many non-obstetric surgical procedures employ thromboprophylaxis to minimise risk, researchers found little evidence of thromboprophylaxis being used after a C-section. In the USA, for example, it is prescribed just 25% of the time after C-sections.
"It is estimated that 75% of women following C-section do not receive any prophylaxis in the postpartum period. This scenario may arise from a lack of recognition by care providers of the risk of VTE following C-section," said Dr Blondon.
"Preventing postpartum VTE following C-section may lead to an important reduction of its associated morbidity and mortality from a public health perspective.
"In this setting, further observational studies and randomised trials are needed to better appreciate the risks of VTE in specific groups following CS and to define the efficacy and safety of thromboprophylaxis."

text: Combat/Reconnaissance Patrol of the Recon 1st Bn (ABN) 8th Cav during Operation Nathan Hale June 23, 1966 On July 19, 1966 the 2d Bn (ABN) 327th Inf, 101st Airborne Division conducted air assaults northwest of Tuy Hoa in the vicinity of Trung Luong Valley and encountered heavy resistance and casualties from battles with the 66th, 95th and 18th Regiments of the North Vietnamese Army 302d Division. B and C Companies of the 1st Bn (ABN) 8th Cav, 1st Cav Division were inserted to reinforce the 2/327 Inf on June 20. B Co 1/8th Cav linked up with B Co 2/327 Inf in the morning on June 21 in the vicinity of LZ Eagle. The two airborne battalions experienced continuous attacks, including hand-to-hand combat, and inflicted heavy losses on the two NVA attacking battalions. One wounded NVA company commander was captured from the area in front of the rifle companies and reported his unit had been annihilated and the other NVA units had begun to withdraw on the evening of June 22d. On June 22, Recon 1st Bn (ABN) 8th Cav (Chinese Bandits) were extracted from reconnaissance operations being performed in Kontum Province and airlifted to Tuy Hoa airport and placed under the operational control of the 1st Bn 9th Cav, 1st Cav Division. At 0530, 23 June, the Chinese Bandits Recon Platoon and one Recon Platoon of the 1/9th Cav were inserted into separate landing zones southwest of LZ Eagle to regain contact with the one of the withdrawing NVA forces. The sun was shining and the weather dry and combat engagement was anticipated so the ranger patrol caps were stowed and helmets donned as the Bandits approached and then exited the helicopters on the tree lined hilltop LZ. Both landing zones were located adjacent to wide, ox cart size, trails that led to the higher hilltops where several hundred of the NVA 66th Regiment were believed to be occupying. The Bandit LZ was located along the ridgeline approaching the expected enemy position and the 1/9th Recon LZ was located further downhill in a draw on the Bandits left flank. The Bandits moved along the ridgeline trail and at mid-morning, point man PFC Raymond Carley observed a NVA size squad moving towards them and away from the 1/9th Recon Platoon that was proceeding along the lower trail towards the intersection of both trails. Carley and three others moved into a position ahead in the vicinity of coordinates CQ 958626 where they were able to kill three of the fleeing NVA before the remaining NVA, wearing khaki uniforms and some tan helmets, retreated further uphill. The Bandits continued up hill along the trail with Carley now opting to carry the new AK47 that he had removed from one of the NVA and having given his own M16 and ammunition to the medic assigned to Recon. Anticipating a main NVA force to be occupying the intersection of the trails being used by the Bandits and the 1/9th Recon Platoon, the 25 man Chinese Bandit force advanced slowly along both sides of the trail while listening to the voices and sounds of the NVA preparing positions along the ridgeline ahead. Carley continued uphill ahead of the other Bandits until he located the first enemy positions and machinegun along the left side of the trail where the Bandits began to move into combat positions amongst the small and sparsely treed locations below the NVA. A second machinegun position was located on the right side of the trail and moments later a third NVA machinegun opened fire and the Bandits exchanged small arms fire (rifle, machinegun, and grenades) for several minutes as they attempted to advance and attack the NVA force. Operating without orders, SP/4 Frank Spickler, team leader of the 3d Scout Squad, immediately ran forward to assist Carley and those engaging the most concentrated NVA force located in the vicinity of coordinates CQ 962618 where he observed Carley laying along the trail about 30 feet in front of the nearest NVA position. Carley had been shot several times and although alive, he was unable to crawl clear of the withering fire. Spickler moved closer and avoided detection by the NVA until he attempted to cross the trail and pull Carley to safety. Heavy enemy fire prevented Spickler from advancing and he withdrew a short distance to obtain the assistance of other Bandits located near him. Spickler positioned one of the scouts in a location where the scout could provide suppressing fire during his effort to move Carley. Leaving his rifle with the other Bandits, Spickler again moved into position near Carley, he dashed towards him, dropping to a low craw when the NVA fired on him and then rolling near Carley, he was able to hoist Carley on his back and quickly dragged him towards the side of the trail. During this attempt, Spickler felt the impact of bullets entering Carley. Once clear of the most intense fire, Spickler carried Carley to the medic who was already treating several, but less wounded Bandits. During his second attempt to retrieve Carley, Spickler had located SGT James Lester lying less than ten feet from where Carley had been laying. Again acting without orders, Spickler returned to the area in front of the enemys position where he low crawled under fire and dragged the much heavier Lester clear of direct enemy fire. The Recon Platoon of the 1/9th Cav had quickly advanced along the wide trail located in the draw and came alongside the left flank of the Chinese Bandits, where both Recon Platoons unsuccessfully attempted a coordinated attack in an effort to over run the NVA positions located near the intersection of both trails. MSG Johnson, acting platoon leader of the Chinese Bandits, directed Spickler to move forward to a position between the lead scouts and the NVA and mark the position with smoke grenades. All available indirect fire mortars and artillery were positioned to support the other elements of the 1st Bn (ABN) 8th Cav and the 2d Bn (ABN) 327th Inf and only ARA equipped gunships were able to provide supporting fires. Spickler remained in position, marking the enemy lines while the gunships continually attacked the NVA located in front of the two Recon Platoons and on the higher hilltops for about thirty minutes. One gunship pass was made danger close resulting in a 2.75-inch FF aerial rocket exploding and injury several Bandits, including SSG Robert Grimes, the 1st Scout Squad Leader and acting Platoon Sergeant. The NVA withdrew further uphill allowing the two Recon Platoons to carry their killed and wounded scouts along the side of the lower trail that had been used by the Recon Platoon of the 1/9th Cav. However, as darkness fell, another large NVA force resumed the attack and pursued the wounded men of both Recon Platoons as they made their way towards the LZ designated for extraction. Small firefights occurred throughout the night resulting in further Bandits being wounded. Approaching the LZ that was secured by other troops from the 3d Brigade, 1st Cav Division, in the early morning light, medivac helicopters arrived and both Recon Platoons were airlifted to a field medical station that had been located along Highway One. The bodies of Chinese Bandits PFC Raymond Carley and Sergeants James Lester and Honorio Ramirez and the other many wounded Bandits were left with the medics, doctors and nurses. The remaining Chinese Bandits rejoined the 1st Bn (ABN) 8th Cav and commenced patrolling in the area SW of LZ Eagle on June 26, 1966. This description of the actions taken by Carley and Spickler is only one of the many efforts made by the scouts of both Recon Platoons and warrant being written in recognition of those that fought that day on June 23, 1966. Efforts are underway to post the other detailed descriptions of those engagements on the Chinese Bandit LRRP Team Recon 1st Bn (ABN) 8th Cav homepage. Raymond Carley, our youngest Chinese Bandit, is buried at Fort Rosecrans National Cemetery in San Diego County, California; Frank Spickler was awarded the Bronze Star with V Device (something that remains a source of irritation after forty years it was initially discussed that he was to be given the Distinguished Service Cross); and Recon 1st Bn (ABN) 8th Cav was awarded its SECOND Presidential Unit Citation for valor. 101st Recondo Spickler was later shot in the lung while serving as the Platoon Sergeant of the 3d Platoon, C Company, 2d Bn (ABN) 501st Infantry, 101st Airborne Division and unable to remain on jump status and left the military in 1970. The 1965-66 Chinese Bandits were to remain a fighting airborne Recon Platoon with its LRRP Team performing extended long range reconnaissance operations along the borders of Laos and Cambodia until November 1966 when they were disbanded having lost most of its original NCOs and scouts. Extracted from written statement made by Duke Barrett and interviews with Frank Spickler and others serving with the Recon 1st Bn (ABN) 8th Cav on June 23, 1966; and the official after action reports of the 1st Bn (ABN) 8th Cav, and 2d Bn (ABN) 327th Infantry. Historical footnote: Nathan Hale (June 6, 1755 September 22, 1776) was a captain in the Continental Army during the American Revolutionary War. Hale is best remembered for his I only regret that I have but one life to lose for my country speech before being hung following the Battle of Long Island. An account of his capture was written by Consider Tiffany, a British Loyalist, and obtained by the Library of Congress. In Tiffanys account, Major Robert Rogers of the Queens Rangers (Rogers Rangers) was the individual responsible for his capture and personally apprehended him.

A NIGHT AT THE OPERAQueenProg Related4.27 | 830 ratings |
From Progarchives.com, the ultimate progressive rock music website
Special Collaborator Honorary Collaborator |
"A Night at the Opera" is the 4th full-length studio album by UK rock act Queen. The
album was released through EMI/Parlophone in Europe and Elektra/Hollywood in
the US in November 1975. Having released "Queen II (1974)" "Sheer Heart Attack
(1974)" within a year, "A Night at the Opera" was the 3rd album by the band within a two
year period. Queen were undeniably on a creative high and especially with "Bohemian
Rhapsody" they would also make an incredible commercial impact. Listening to a track like "Bohemian Rhapsody" and the equally theatrical "The Prophet's Song", it�s obvious to me that the times were very different back in the seventies. Such intricate, flamboyant, progressive and clever compositions would never make it unto the radio had they been released today. A track like the more pop oriented "You�re My Best Friend" would though but that doesn�t make it any less interesting. In fact no matter what music style Queen touch on "A Night at the Opera", the outcome is quite brilliant. The band are such skilled performers and composers that they can pull off this eclectic blend of styles with ease and great conviction. As usual it�s the outstanding vocals/backing vocals/choirs that steal the show, but there are some really powerful and intricate instrumental performances on the album too. Paired with a warm and organic sound production we�re talking a high quality release. Favorites for me on the album are the above mentioned "The Prophet's Song", the opening track "Death on Two Legs (Dedicated to...)" and of course "Bohemian Rhapsody". The latter might be one of the most well written and intriguing rock songs I�ve ever heard. Even though it�s been played to death on the radio, it still moves me in the most incredible way every time I hear it. "A Night at the Opera" is an interesting release as it features some of Queen�s most theatrical/progressive moments but also more than hints at the more easily accessible nature of their future material. It�s definitely an album for those who like their music with variation and can appreciate elements from many music styles. I guess I�m one of those and I think a 4 star (80%) rating is fully deserved.

The Boxing Day Test Match is the Fourth Test Match in the 2013/2014 test series. Starting on Boxing Day, Thursday December 26th 2013 and running through until Monday December 30th. Of course we all know that it's played at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG), Victoria and starts at 10:30am local time.
Australia has already won the series, winning the first 3 matches comfortably and we've taken back the Ashes. The poms didn't see it coming, and neither did the bookies as you can see from my previous post, 2013/2014 Ashes Betting Odds, England were the clear favourites to take out the series by every online bookmaker in the land. I publicly tipped Australia to win and my betting balance is now in a good position to place a few exotic bets on the fourth test in Melbourne.
My Cricket Betting Tips Gave Good Odds
Here's what my tips were for the winner of the 2013/2014 Australia Vs England Ashes series in my previous post. Ladbrokes Australia was the online bookie I used and got fixed odds of $2.65. Not bad for a team that was playing below its best, it was only a matter of time before they bounced back.
Maybe it's just because I'm an Aussie, maybe it's the beers that I've enjoyed while writing this post or maybe I'm just delusional, but I think the Aussies can bounce back and win the Ashes this time.
So it looks like my Ashes cricket betting tips were spot on this time, I hope some of you punters got on Australia before the first test when they were paying the best odds. It seems to me that we're playing some good, consistent Test cricket now and the players are playing for the team more than in recent history. Hopefully we can keep it up.
So, the Australian cricket team have found some form and have brought the Ashes back to the rightful country and of course, we've got bragging rights again and we'll let every English person we know about it whenever the opportunity arises.
The Best Boxing Day Test Match Betting Odds
The best odds available for each team from each online bookmaker are listed in bold text. It looks like Ladbrokes Australia is paying the best odds for England and Bet365 has the best odds for both Australia and a draw.
Test Match Result | ||||||||
Australia | 1.67 | 1.70 | 1.70 | 1.67 | 1.65 | 1.67 | 1.67 | 1.72 |
Draw | 3.75 | 3.85 | 3.90 | 4.00 | 4.00 | 3.75 | 4.00 | 4.50 |
England | 4.80 | 4.30 | 4.40 | 4.75 | 4.75 | 4.80 | 4.75 | 4.00 |
These odds were correct at the time of posting and are subject to change.
Good Luck, happy punting and enjoy the holidays!

Tucked away inside the chic Jefferson Hill Shops in a greek revival mansion, owner Rosalyn Morris guides the team of beauticians and stylists at Studio 10. They're all backed an array of products that include elixirs from Repêchage. The French name comes from the word for a rescue, which is appropriate given that the products are designed to save skin that is dry, oily, or showing signs of aging using ingredients taken from seaweed and other plants.

So was wondering if its possible to use one of These with one of the 3M capacitive touch overlays and make a nice 7" capacitive touch screen for cheap, then just make a bezel that would work in a double din and install it. What I dont know is the type of cables needed to make this work. Anyone try this or have any ideas
No announcement yet.
7" screen put together
pretty well a major task to make that work, your better off just buying a complete touch screen from mp3car.com or other places that replacement screen still would need vga input and the very fine wired cable that would handle the vga/power ect and then you would still need the touch kit hope this helps SNO

Hey guys, i just got a Wii with no games for christmas here in new zealand. I was wondering if the wii is region free? If so i can get zelda from US sites because here is currently out of stock at the mo and takes up to 3 weeks to ship
I'm sure I've heard that the wii itself is region free, but it is up to the game publishers whether they want to lock the games or not...
No on Wii on both the machine & hardware is region locked. The 360 is region free if publishers wish to do so. Most do. The PS3 is region free, but sony have stopped people importing games & hardware (by making it illegal for online retailers to sekll out of teritory) making it a completely redundant feature.
It's the systems achilles' heel. Especially when the system is very portable and makes travelling easy you would have thought Region Free would be a priority. I was about to say "well it'd do no harm!" but I got an email off Nintendo just before Advance Wars 2 came out in Europe, asking us not to import games as it harms European gaming stats or something. In the end I bought AW2 from a little import shop in Glossop
Typical corporate response. Blame the consumer and lay a guilt trip on them, rather than be pro-active, and release games at the same time as they are released in other territories. Nintendo are to blame if people get sick and tired of waiting for months before a game is released in europe, and then choose to import.
Indeed. Though it is nice that PAL games get bug fixes, I like the feeling that we're not the guinea pigs. But I hate the feeling of waiting for it
It's kind of lame really when you look at the other half of the world. They're selling DVD's and games like hot cakes without regions over here (well technically in Thailand we have a region, but everywhere you go they sell all region DVD players). The times they are a changing and Sony was actually with it on this one. IMHO not having all region and voltage for all electronics is about the two stupidest things a company could do...not sure if they go the voltage thing down or not as I've yet to look...but people travel these days and if you don't support it people will eventually buy the one that does... Paul
im pretty sure hte Wii is region free because Nintendo made the DS Lites region free. That would be contrary to their message of inclusion lol. Plus i believe people were selling ebays to ppl in AU, UK, Europe, Japan when the Wii came out in N. America
You are free to buy a wii from any region, that does not make it regionfree. Region Free implies if I buy a Japanese game, I could play it in my UK console. Or if I buy a USA machine I could play Pal games on it. But that is not the case. Nintendo have restricted regions, so a Japanese game will not work on anything other than a Japanese console, a european pal game will only work on a pal machine etc. Even the wii's virtual console is region restricted. I can not buy VC games from Japan or USA. In fact it restricts me by not even allowing me to select that country within the console. The wii is completely Region Locked whether you like it or not. Personally I wish it wasnt.
Considering the US NTSC version will not work on your NZ PAL version I don't see how that matters? I'm just trying to help you get a copy of the game quickly if you really want it, if you don't I guess this whole thread is pretty pointless.

Full Product Description
Those daunted by the massive theology of the classic modern treatment of the problem of evil, John Hick's Evil and the God of Love, will find here a compelling alternative. With a wealth of vivid imagery, and illustrations from experience and literature, as well as theology and history, John Cowburn explores the problems caused by the existence of pain, suffering and evil and suggests how they may be understood and countered. Crucial to his argument is a distinction between evils which are to be found in a growing and developing world where himan beings have been given freedom, the shadows, and the inexplicable existence of moral evil, the dark: 'The dark mystery of moral evil is in itself pure unintelligiblity, and does not surpass our minds but is opposed to reason as such, and God understands it even less than we do.'
Shadows and Dark by John Cowburn was published by SCM Press in March 1979. The ISBN for Shadows and Dark is 9780334014980.

As of Sept. 9, 2013, the official cause of death had not been reported for Moritz Erhardt, who had secured a coveted summer internship at Bank of America Merrill Lynch. Some news reports suggested that he had an underlying medical condition.
The death has shed light on the working habits of interns in the financial services industry and certain other high-pressure fields in the U.K., the U.S. and elsewhere. Many interns buy into the culture that suggests that only those who work the longest hours have a chance at being hired for regular employment.
While experts say that HR professionals should strive to create internship programs that focus on providing young people with positive experiences, they add that the primary responsibility for making interns safe remains with senior executives, through leadership, and with line managers, through close supervision.
"Give line managers some training and guidance before things go wrong," advised Katerina Rudiger, head of skills and policy campaign at the London-based Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development.
"It's about improving those core leadership and management skills," said Chris Roebuck, a global consultant and a visiting professor at the Cass Business School in London.
Opting Out of Guidelines
There are guidelines in the U.K. for the hours that employees work, but many companies, particularly large multinational firms, opt out of them routinely. The guidelines, based on a policy directive of the European Union, were designed to give workers the right to rest for at least 11 hours in any 24 hours, to restrict excessive night work and to limit work to 48 hours per week.
In the U.S., there are no broad laws or regulations limiting the number of hours that can be worked—only guarantees of overtime pay for those who qualify, experts say. A spokesman for the U.S. Department of Labor did not return calls by publication time.
The death of Erhardt stunned many in the U.K. John McIvor, head of international communications for Bank of America Merrill Lynch, told SHRM Online in an e-mail that "We are deeply shocked and saddened by the news of Moritz Erhardt's death. Moritz Erhardt was popular amongst his peers and was a highly diligent intern at our company with a bright future."
McIvor added that the company has "convened a formal senior working group to consider the facts as they become known, to review all aspects of this tragedy, to listen to employees at all levels and to help us learn from them."
Marv Russell, a Boynton Beach, Fla.-based speaker, author, consultant and executive coach, said he found it "kind of surprising" that there are no general laws or regulations restricting hours worked by interns or regular employees in the U.S.
He said the global financial services industry has been ethically challenged for years and that its executives and managers need to understand that their culture can cause young people to put themselves at risk.
"Even for an experienced employee, it's hard to come forward to talk about bad working conditions," Russell said. "You can't expect an 18- or 19-year-old to do that." He suggested that colleges teach "workplace survival skills."
When organizations invest in young people, such as through internships, they have an opportunity to build an employer brand, Rudiger said. "It's in the employer's interest to do it well."
'Somebody Needs to Be Responsible'
But, Rudiger noted, it shouldn't take a death to incentivize companies to ensure that working conditions are safe—for interns and for regular employees. "Somebody needs to be responsible and say 'What's going on?' "
"Organizations sometimes forget that people do not function like machines," said Ken Matos, Ph.D., senior director of employment research and practice at the New York City-based Families and Work Institute. "Just look at people's schedules: Ask 'When do you eat? When do you sleep?' If it's not obvious, something is wrong," Matos said.
Sometimes, Matos added, "Managers need to take that step of changing the culture."
There is precedent for restricting hours. Work limits for medical residents have been debated for years. Airline pilots and others who work in safety-critical jobs have workload restrictions, Roebuck noted. But the vast majority of workers are at the mercy of line managers, many of whom lack the skills to manage people effectively, he said.
However, the intern job market might be in for a course correction.
"Interns are starting to challenge programs that treat them poorly," said Nathan Parcells, co-founder of online job aid service InternMatch, noting that lawsuits are targeting some industries in the U.S. for not paying interns. "Students are finding more of a voice and are more tech-savvy."
Allison Cheston, a New York City-based career advisor, agreed. Millennials are "voting with their feet" and avoiding financial services and other high-pressure internships and careers. "values have shifted," she said. "The power is really in the hands of this generation."
