Early Signs of Chimney Problems
Whether we're talking about your car's engine, your health or your chimney system, early detection is key to minimizing damage when trouble is brewing. For chimney care, the best way to ensure that you're aware of any issues as soon as possible is, of course, to keep up with your annual chimney inspection appointment. But in between inspections, you might catch a budding issue on your own. Here are a few things to look out for:
Smoke Intrusion
Your chimney system is designed to encourage smoke and gases to travel up and out. So if smoke is coming down and into your living area through your fireplace or stove, something isn't working as it should. The specific reason can vary: your flue might be blocked with debris or creosote; the flue liner might be improperly sized for your appliance; your chimney damper could be stuck closed; or a wind-induced downdraft might be forcing the air down. And those are just a start. To figure out your specific issue and recommend the best approach for repairs, Bulldog Chimney Sweeps can thoroughly inspect your chimney system, top to bottom.
Unpleasant Smells
Your nose almost always knows when something's wrong. If you notice a smoky smell coming from your fireplace — particularly during warmer and more humid periods — there's a good chance you're overdue for a chimney sweeping appointment. Built-up creosote deposits give off a strong odor, and that's only made worse when the weather warms up. A thorough professional chimney sweeping from Bulldog Chimney Sweeps usually does the job.
If you're dealing with a musty odor, it's possible that you've had some water intrusion that's led to mold. Dealing with that issue properly will first require troubleshooting the cause of the moisture, then remediating the mold growth and repairing the leak.
If the odor that's troubling you is even more intense than that, you might've had some animal visitors nesting in your chimney. Animals almost invariably bring along unpleasant odors — if young or sick animals get stuck in your flue and die, that odor issue gets much worse. Bulldog Chimney Sweeps can help clear out debris in your flue — including what's left behind by nesting animals — and help you keep out unwanted visitors in the future by installing a strong chimney cap.
Spalling Brick
If you look at your masonry chimney after the winter weather subsides and you see crumbled or popped-off brick faces, you've likely had some spalling from the freeze-thaw process. We can protect masonry — and help prevent future spalling — by applying a durable and specially formulated waterproofing sealant.
Receded Joints
Bricks generally last a lot longer than the mortar joints connecting them, so it's not unusual, with an older chimney, to notice that your bricks are holding up well, but joints are pulling back or cracking. While it's not unusual, it's definitely not good — if water intrusion isn't already occurring, it's likely it's on its way. Bulldog Chimney Sweeps can renew your masonry joints with expert tuckpointing work.
Rust Spots, Streaks or Stains
The components of your chimney system that are made out of metal — like the chimney cap, chase cover and chimney damper — will have different levels of durability, based on the materials they're made out of, the conditions they're under, quality of installation and a number of other factors. But one thing is consistent: If you see rust, that's a sign of damage, and an indication that moisture will soon makes its way to the interior, if it hasn't already. When metal components succumb to rust, Bulldog Chimney Sweeps technicians can make the proper repairs and replacements. We can also recommend ways to keep rust away — including choosing more resilient materials, like stainless steel and copper.
Those are just a few indications that your chimney is in trouble. If you have any concerns, Bulldog Chimney Sweeps is always here to help. Just call us, or make an appointment online!

Over the past decade, climate change has become increasingly embedded within global security discourse, but whether it should be formally considered as a matter for the international peace and security agenda remains contested. Moreover, while the adverse effects of climate change on natural, societal and governance systems clearly amounts to a threat that is transnational in scope, the international response remains dependent on positions taken at a national level.
The United Nations Security Council represents a key forum and lens into this debate, within which national governments' positions on climate security continue to diverge. As background context to this debate, Mistra Geopolitics PhD researcher, Jiayi Zhou traces the national climate-related security policies of five key UN Security Council states: China, Russia, the United States, the United Kingdom and France—the permanent members (or the P5) holding veto power. Specifically, it examines how more traditional security actors within each country have assessed the risk of climate change on national security, and the extent to which they have organizationally begun to incorporate any identified climate risks into their plans and operations.

JTPHE honor which you have been pleased to confer on a former publication of mine (a), by causing a very large portion of it to be edited in the Welch language; and the manner in which you were so good as to apply to me, at that time personally a stranger to your Lordship, for my assent to the plan, and to speak of those parts of the book, the translation of which was not required by your immediate purpofe; have rendered it my duty to embrace any opportunity which might occur of publicly testifying my gratitude.
(a) A Familiar Survey of the Christian Religion, &c.
A 3 'I avail I avail myself of the present occasion with cordial pleasure. Allow me to say that, independently of all private considerations, the proof which your Lordship's conduct afforded of vigilant solicitude to adopt any measure which, in your opinion, lhould seem likely to be subservient to the eternal interests of the inhabitants of the diocese consigned to your superintendence, excited in my mind very lively emotions of satisfaction. May the grace of God attend and prosioer your pious exertions!
It may be right to add some few words respecting the Volume now inscribed to your Lordship.. Different writers of Sermons, alt aiming at the fame ultimate object, pursue it, according to their respective views, judgements, habits of study, and other circumstances, in different ways. The vineyard of God will employ and remunerate labourers of various descriptions. My present efforts, as an humble workman in that vineyard, have been principally directed to two
points: the elucidation of some fundamental doctrines of our faith; and the inculcation of a practical truth of the highest moment, yet a truth which too often, if we may judge by the language in common use among men when speaking either concerning themselves or others, is fatally undiscerned or disregarded, that nothing short of an avowed and unreserved surrender of the whole heart to God through Christ, evinced, under the bleffing of divirie grace, by a zealous and habitual pursuit of universal holiness, is Religion.
Many persons appear to imagine that, when once the researches of an individual into the Christian Revelation have satisfied him as to its sacred authority, the remainder of his religious course lies plain and easy before him. They perceive not that he has ascended but the first and the least laborious acclivity of the mountain. Surely it requires but a small degree of insight into human nature and the Scriptures to discover with how much greater
A 4 facility facility the understanding is convinced of speculative truth, than the heart is subdued to a productive faith and a practical love of holiness. I shall rejoice if any part of thefollowing pages should be rendered instrumental in dissipating the pernicious delusion which I have mentioned. I am, with sincere respect, My Lord, • Your Lordship's obliged

Tuesday 22nd Nov 05 - Cai gets dressed again.
Kerstin said Cai was looking much better today, he is still in ICU but maybe he will move out later on this week.
Monday 21st Nov 05 - Kerstin holds Cai again
Today is Jason's birthday - we had the waffles and cream yesterday. Cai is doing okay, he is still in ICU but that is because they just want to keep an eye on him a bit longer and do some more checks but we think his infection is going and that maybe he will get a new gallery soon!
Tuesday 22nd Nov 05 - just in case I don't update later his grandmother (fathers side) is coming to visit him from wales arriving today.
Sunday 20th Nov 05 - Cai gets a visit from his Grandparents on his mother's side.
Cai is looking better than yesterday, he still has an infection, but he looked much better to us and was more awake.
Saturday 19th Nov 05 - Cai back in his mothers arms
We arrived to a group of doctors in a huddle discussing Cai, Cai didn't look to lively and the nurses who are usually quick to update us didn't say anything, our minds started racing as we thought the worst however it is not so bad, cai has the runs and they are trying to find the cause and as a precaution we have to wear gowns just in case he is "infectious"
Later on kerstin got to hold him for a while, until his infusion started playing up and he had to be put back in his bed.
Friday 18th Nov 05 - "look mummy and daddy no oxygen" Cai shows off his new nose
Cai fights on and is now breathing unaided and with no extra oxygen. He is still being sedated, but the doctor said she is gradually reducing the medication now.
It is thought that he will move to the Intermediate Care Unit on Monday, they are busy there at the moment and the intensive care unit isn't, so there is no rush to move him, personally I think the nurses have taken a fancy to him and don't want to let him go.
Friday 18th Nov 05 - jason and Oliver visit Cai
Yesterdays picture and my questions at the end was more relevant than I realised, In place of the bed next to cai was a cabinet with a simple card, candle and flower signifying the passing away of another of Cai's room mates. It brings home once again that he is in an intensive care unit.
Thursday 17th Oct 05 - Don't worry I forgot to put the battery back in the camera so kerstin couldn't take any photo's, so here is one from yesterday of the new winter mobiles in the ICU.
First the good news, Cai is off the ventilator already, he has a filter on the cannula (the tube he breathes through) and is just getting a small amount of oxygen, but he is breathing on his own.
The bad news however is Kerstin spoke to the senior doctor that came to pick up Cai from Baden when he was born and he doesn't think Cai's vocal chords will work, we are still waiting and hoping but in reality its a long road ahead - but at least its a mountain pass type road and not a boring motorway.
Two things have been puzzling me lately, the first is what do newborn babies dream about and the second is - If a newborn baby dies, does he/she get reincarnated, go to heaven or goes to wherever none religious people go because he/she doesn't know if he/she is religious yet or if religious which one it believes in.
Wednesday 16th Oct 05 - Cai practices for the christmas pantomine - "Sleeping Beauty".
No changes to report, Cai is stable and sleeping and will do so until Friday. We met with the surgeon who performed the operation and the outlook is good, but she said it will maybe be three months before he is home, we said that we were told it would possibly be four to five weeks and then we agreed on a compromise of somewhere between five weeks and three months before we get him home. It all depends how quickly we get used to dealing with Cai and his tracheotomy even in emergency situations.
Tuesday 15th Oct 05 - Cai blows bubbles for the camera before his operation
This is Cai just before the operation which he underwent today. The operation was sucessful and he now has a tracheotomy. Cai is in strict bed arrest until Friday when the tracheotomy device will be changed. It is important he doesn't move too much and even more so that he doesn't pull out the device (shown in next two photos), so he will be kept heavily sedated for the next few days and because of this he will be need the machine to breathe.
He is quite heavily sedated and also on Morphine for the pain, but he looks peacefull and if he sleeps through the next few days we wont mind to much. I forgot to mention that he put on 200 gramms in wieght which is very gopod news
Tuesday 15th Nov 05 - This is what they are going to insert into Cai's throat, I will try and get a clearer picture of one at a later date.
Tuesday 15th Oct 05 - Cai with his new tracheotomy, he is being breathed by machine, probably until Friday because he is so heavily sedated at the moment, but to us he looks nice and relaxed and doing okay
Monday 14th Oct 05 - Oma (Cai's swiss based grandmother) visits Cai on the eve of his next operation.
Cai is still stable so no change to report - Today we consented to allow the lung specialist to do some tests on Cai involving physiotherapy and in and out air measurements. we were assured it wouldn't hurt him and if he got stressed they would stop - It won't help Cai, but may help some other unfortunate infant.
Sunday 13th Nov 05 - We didn't think Cai looked to happy for today's photo, perhaps he is thinking of Tuesdays operation.
no change to report - Cai is still stable although I forgot to mention that the doctors had done an ultrasound check on his heart and aorta after the previous operation and all looks fine.
Saturday 12th oct 05 - Cai celebrates his first month of life by sucking on a swab soaked with water, I hope he celebrates his 21st year differently.
No change to report, cai is stable and hopefully building his strength up for his operation on Tuesday. Kerstin was not feeling too well so the poor fella had to make do with looking at my mug for the evening visit.
Friday 11th Nov 05 - Jason and Oiver "play" with Cai.
Cai is now in the other intensive care unit (A) the other one (B) specialised in heart problems. Cai is stable at the moment, he is having some support from the ventilator machine but not a lot.
The nurse looking after him arrranged for us to visit a little girl about 3 years old who had a tracheotomy so that we can see what to expect. The little girl seemed happy active and contented as she drew pictures, which made us feel better and gave us more hope for the future.
later on we were shown the portable home suction unit - I had better get in training if we are to go walking in the mountains with him, but at least hopefully we won't be housebound.
This Picture should be reassuring to young boys everywhere, that clean disinfected hands doesn't mean you disintegrate.
Today of course is the 11th day of the 11th month - so we spent some time remembering. I should have been more organised and ordered a poppy for today's photo.
Firday 11th Nov 05 - Cai is actually sleeping in this picture, he doesn't always manage to close his eyes
Thursday 10th Nov 05 - what a lovely photo, so I thought I would use it twice, Kerstin forgot to take the camera today.
Cai is back in Intensive care and being intubated, maybe this will help get his strength up before the op, he does seem to be a fighter though which is good

Italy's minister for European affairs, Eurosceptic Paolo Savona, warned senators Tuesday that Italy must be prepared to leave the euro, and that it may not even be Italy's choice.
"They ask me, do you want to get out of the euro?" Savona said at an EU Affairs Committee meeting in the Senate. "Look, we can find ourselves in situations where it is others who make that decision for us. My position is to be ready for any eventuality."
The 81-year-old minister, who was the ruling parties' first choice for finance minister but was denied that role by President Sergio Mattarella, said that his long experience in business has taught him to be ready for anything.
"One of my business concerns, the Bank of Italy, taught me to be ready not to face normality but the black swan; it is the extraordinary shock that we must be ready to face."
Savona's reference to a "black swan" refers to a metaphor developed by Lebanese philosopher Nassim Nicholas Taleb, which addresses the disproportionate influence of high-impact, difficult-to-predict, and rare events in every aspect of human life.
The minister's words of caution regarding Italy's relationship with the euro harken back to similar statements he has made in the past, and manifest the chief reason that Mattarella was afraid to have him as finance minister.
In 2015, Savona famously declared that Italy "must have a plan B" to exit the euro in case the European common currency becomes unsustainable for the Italian economy.
"If Italy hasn't already done so, it must have a plan B ready in the event of an end to the euro or a need to exit from it," he said at the time, adding that agreements with Greece were "badly constructed" and concocted by countries with an intention to dominate.
"If Italy were caught unprepared in that event, it would be a tragedy," he said.
Savona also voiced his concern that Italy's heavy government debt is a weakness that Brussels could easily exploit.
"The high level of Italian debt is the key reason for which we may be blackmailed by Europe into 'making reforms' and to ensure that those in power within Italy stay there and run the government – the people that have encouraged and allowed this situation of international servility," he said.

Ground levelling signals the start of construction of Thuthuka Primary's playing field
The Tembisa-based school was the lucky institution chosen by Let's Play for a special visit by the Creed II cast during their South African press tour in late 2018.
The school was treated to a screening of the first Creed movie and were then thrilled by a surprise visit from stars Michael B. Jordan, Florian Munteanu and director Steven Caple Jr., who all came into the room immediately after the movie.
As a parting gift to the school, Warner Bros. and Metro Goldwyn Mayer (MGM) in partnership with Jordan made a donation towards the funds Let's Play had set aside for the upgrading of the school's playing facility, which was little more than a dusty pitch with several grass patches.
Bright and early on Wednesday morning, Christo Marx from Hitachi Construction Machinery South Africa, partners of the Playing Field's project, drove into the school premises the gigantic Hitachi ZW140 Wheels Loader to the amazement of the school kids peering through the classroom windows.
A select number had an opportunity to get up and close and personal to the beastly machine for a photo-op before the playground was condoned off and work began.
School principal, Moses Mokoena, could not contain his joy seeing the start of the transformation of his playground. "This is one of the happiest days of my life. This is going to change the lives of my learners and for that I'm grateful to Let's Play and partners as well as Warner Bros and Michael B Jordan."
Ground levelling took two days readying the site for the construction of the pitch, which is scheduled to start mid-June.

The case for a United States interest rate hike has certainly become more probable in the last few months because of the efficiency of the labor market as well as predictions for positive economic growth, according to Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen. Yellen did not state when the United States central bank might raise interest rates, however, her comments indicated the view that such a move might come before the end of 2016. The Federal Reserve has policy meetings scheduled in September, November and December.
Giving a speech at a three-day international gathering of central bankers as well as academics in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, Yellen stated that "U.S. economy was nearing the Federal Reserve's statutory goals of maximum employment and price stability." Data released earlier on Friday, though, indicated that the economy was slower than initially thought during the second quarter, with gross domestic product growing at a 1.1% annual rate. At the same time, consumer spending, which makes up more than sixty-seven percent of economic activity, increased at the most rapid rate in the fourth quarter of 2014. Yellen referred to a recent rally in employment and stated the Fed projects the economy to continue growing.
"In light of the continued solid performance of the labor market and our outlook for economic activity and inflation, I believe the case for an increase in the federal fund's rate has strengthened in recent months," said Yellen, adding that the Federal Reserve still believes that future rate increases should be "gradual."
The Fed raised rates in December for the first time in almost ten years. However it has held off further growth so far this year because of a global growth slowdown, financial market volatility, and generally tepid U.S. inflation data. Another impact has been Britain's decision to leave the European Union.

I'm aiming to provide you with at least one classic British boxing fight per month for those of you who lay not have seen certain British contests. This month I'll start with a classic and personal favourite of mine and we look no further than this classic fight between unbeaten British Super Featherweight champion Alex Arthur vs the highly unfancied brawler Michael Gomez.
The fight took place at the Meadowbank Sports Centre, Edinburgh, Scotland in front of a sold out crowd who were experiencing the first professional boxing card in twenty years to be held in the city. Alex Arthur who was born and raised in Edinburgh was a rising star in British boxing at the time with a record of 16 fights 16 wins and 13 coming via stoppages, this was supposed to be a routine defence of the British title against a fighter who at the time was was 29-5 but the Irish born Manchester fighter had other ideas.
The boxing press decided that Gomez had absolutely no chance and that he had been through too many wars throughout his career and Arthur would ease past him even Arthur himself decided that Gomez was an easy fight by saying that he could see twenty ways to beat him but Gomez proved his critics and Arthur wrong when he arrived at the fight in great condition and with fire and purpose. The first couple of rounds started at a great pace, with Arthur keeping Gomez at distance with stiff jabs and Gomez working his way inside with hooks and body punches. The match was turning into a clash of styles, Arthur using control and boxing technique and Gomez storming forward with great might. From the third round the fight went Gomez's way, Gomez cut Arthur in the third and stunned the home crowd in too silence, who were not used to seeing the home-town hero being bludgeoned in this manner. Gomez dominated the rest of the fight and in the fifth round it came to an end after Arthur was knocked down twice and eventually stopped.
Please watch the video and enjoy it as it was a great fight.

February 27, 2019
By Anthony Esposito
MEXICO CITY (Reuters) – Mexico's central bank on Wednesday cut its economic growth forecasts for this year and next, flagging the risk of rating downgrades to the country and state-run oil firm Pemex, and warning of persistent inflationary pressures.
In a quarterly report, the bank lowered its Mexican growth forecast to between 1.1 percent and 2.1 percent for 2019 and between 1.7 percent and 2.7 percent for 2020, echoing increasing skepticism among private sector economists on the outlook.
The bank had previously forecast growth of between 1.7 and 2.7 percent for this year, and 2.0-3.0 percent for next year.
Data published this week showed the economy grew by just 0.2 percent in the fourth quarter period from the previous quarter, and contracted in December.
A continuation of recent fuel shortages, road blockages and strikes could also negatively affect growth, the bank said.
If the "current mood of uncertainty that has been affecting investment" continues or worsens, that would put further pressure on growth, as would a fresh downgrade in the rating of state-run companies, notably Pemex, the bank said.
Those remarks followed a warning from the bank last week in the minutes of its latest monetary policy decision about the risk Pemex poses for government finances.
The bank said it saw lower inflation in Mexico of 4.1 percent for the first quarter, and left its forecast for the fourth quarter unchanged at 3.4 percent.
But despite a recent slowdown in the headline rate, concerns about inflation expectations persist, Central Bank Governor Alejandro Diaz de Leon told a news conference.
The bank, which held its benchmark lending rate at 8.25 percent earlier this month, cited possible delays to ratification of a new free trade agreement between Mexico, Canada and the United States as an additional risk to growth.

A Non-Kitchen, Kitchen
12 comments:
Hmm... I'm not crazy about the sofa placement, mostly because someone sitting on the sofa can't converse easily with someone working in the kitchen.ReplyDelete
Our kitchen essentials: our KitchenAid mixer - I can't live without it, the pantry - you can store so much in there and then just close the door and hide the mess, our newly open shelving - I love being able to display our wedding china and all of our stemware, and most importantly, my husband puttering around the kitchen and getting in the way and our sweet little girl sitting at the breakfast bar sipping her juice and chatting away with us. It's just not "our" kitchen without the two of them there with me.
Gorgeous--I could move right in and be very happy there!ReplyDelete
That is just divine!!! I need a big pantry. After apartments and rental homes without a pantry, the biggest joy in moving into our home was that fact that I had a place for things.... But, I also love a kitchen that is made for conversation. At my moms house, we had an island with chairs, and a breakfast bar. That's where we lived essentially. I have very few memories of watching TV in the living room--they all revolve around the kitchen and the dining room table (which, more often than not was actually a craft/sewing table).... OK, back to reality! Hmm.. i wonder how much it would cost to re do my kitchen..?? hmmmReplyDelete
Gorgeous! However do you find such amazing shots? I think you need to just up & start an interior design magazine and/or come to Texas and decorate my house already.ReplyDelete
My favorite kitchen "feature" is the combo island/table & barstools I've had in my last & current home. The husband and I are foodies, so the closer we can sit to food & its preparation, the better. I like a lived in kitchen, literally.
- AnonymousWed Oct 22, 09:44:00 AM CDT
That is such a nice, warm, comfortable-looking kitchen!ReplyDelete
What a beautiful kitchen! Where did you find this photo?ReplyDelete
My must have is either a set of All Clad or a Le Creuset dutch oven. It's a toss up between the two.
- AnonymousWed Oct 22, 03:31:00 PM CDT
I totally agree with sterile kitchens - I am so over stainless steel everywhere. I am embracing shabby chic, retro kitchenalia and crockery bric a brac! I think my must haves are a garlic press, cornishware jugs (for everything from crayons to milk), and a laura Ashley apron! And an ice bucket and stand, for those lazy indulgent moments of drinking champers in the lounge (not often enough)ReplyDelete
Wow! The person that thought up that deserves the Kreative award!ReplyDelete
My kitchen must have is a pepper grinder, so simple I know - but I put fresh ground pepper on just about everything!ReplyDelete
I love this kitchen!!!ReplyDelete
This is awesome!!! I love it! I have been saving the kitchen that I want from an ad I ripped out of Southern Living 5 years ago. It is centered around cookbooks, so those are my essential item :)ReplyDelete
kitchen must haves are an appetite!ReplyDelete
water, a stove, some pots and leave the rest to me!
my grandmother served many from her kitchen, no tv, no island, just pure and simple, a kitchen.

A roundabout railroad ramble
My work assignment for today was in Arverne, on the Rockaway Peninsula in Queens. It was the sort of location that could be reached either by driving or by the train. Normally I would have driven, but I was a bit gun-shy about doing so because Arverne isn't far from Inwood, and I have very un-fond memories of driving to and from Inwood a couple of weeks ago. There's another factor, however, one related to the recent storm. Subway service in the Rockaways is normally provided by the A train, whose terminal in Far Rockaway is a few blocks from the LIRR's Far Rockaway terminal. It all used to be one line, run by the LIRR, but in the 1950's the LIRR stopped its service beyond the current Far Rockaway terminal and the subway took over the remaining trackage.
In any event, the A train's long trestle over Jamaica Bay was heavily damaged in the storm, cutting off the line on the Rockaway peninsula from the rest of the system. It may be several months before the trestle will be back in service. As a stopgap measure, the transit authority loaded several subway cars onto flatbed trucks and brought them to the Rockaways, and they run as a free shuttle known as the H train between Far Rockaway and Beach 116th Street. At Far Rockaway, there are free shuttle buses to the nearest operable A train station, at Howard Beach right by the airport.
What I figured is that if I took the LIRR to Far Rockaway, and then took the H train to Beach 67th Street, I'd be able to ride the only subway line I haven't already ridden (well duh, considering it didn't exist until a couple weeks ago) and have to unusual experience of riding the subway for free. Combined with my dislike of driving in the area, this lead to my decision to take the train, even though taking the LIRR to Far Rockaway would be a rather roundabout journey with backtracking through Jamaica. I got the 5:29 (ugh!) from Ronkonkoma, parking much closer to the platforms than would have been the case with a train at a more civilized hour. It was much more crowded than I would have expected for such a early train, with my mid-consist car being more than half full by the time we left Rononkoma and SRO by Wyandanch, the last stop before Jamaica. A somewhat chubby non-SCA man sat next to me at Deer Park, it was tolerable but would have been much worse had he been 20 pounds heavier.
It was barely dawn when I got to Jamaica around 6:20. My train to Far Rockaway wasn't leaving until 6:58, which left me with more time on my hands than I would have preferred to have, Jamaica Station not being the most interesting of places. It also was very cold on the platforms, fortunately there was a donut shop with seating in the heated Air Train waiting area. When the Far Rockaway train finally arrived, it was quite the change from the jammed Ronkonkoma train. I sat in the head car, that being the most convenient when I got to Far Rockaway, and there couldn't have been more than 15 or 20 passengers by the time we left. The train took the Locust Manor routing to Valley Stream, as opposed to the nearby St. Albans route that Babylon trains usually take, and even though it made all the stops to Far Rockaway the ride took only about 40 minutes. One thing I didn't realize, not having ridden that line in many years, is just how close some of the station are to each other. Inwood and Far Rockaway in particular are right on top of one another.
Once at Far Rockaway, I made the undeniably grim walk to the A – okay, H – train station a few blocks away. Far Rockaway, at least this part of it, is NOT the high rent district. It was an odd but pleasant sensation to be able to walk right through the open service gate without paying. I had to wait about ten minutes for the next train, as far as I know there are only two trainsets operating on the line. The cars are
R38's R32's, the oldest cars currently in use on the subway. Although they're almost 50 years old they are famous for their reliability and durability. The ride to my stop at Beach 67th took only about five minutes, and when I got there I was most impressed at the changes in Arverne. The last time I saw the area, at least ten years ago, it was basically a wasteland of empty lots, today it has been fully redeveloped and looks quite nice.
I had been hoping to finish up work in time to get the 3:36 from Far Rockaway to Jamaica, and when I left the worksite around 3:15 it looked as if my hopes would come true. Well, not quite; when I ascended the stairs to the elevated subway platform I was treated to the unwelcome sight of a train pulling out of the station. It was literally a matter of being ten seconds too late. Given the long headways on the H there was no chance of making the 3:36. I resigned myself to taking the 4:38 instead, which meant that with the backtracking through Jamaica I wouldn't be getting to Ronkonkoma until 6:20. That's a long day.
What did not occur to me until way too late is that I could have taken advantage of the delay to ride the H to the other end of the line and back. Had I done so, I would have been able to ride on the "Hammels Wye," a short stretch of track that's very rarely used for passenger service. All is not necessarily lost, as I may be back in Arverne in a couple of weeks, and even if I drive I'll have time to ride on the Wye during my lunch break. At any rate, I hung around a McDonald's in Far Rockaway for a half-hour, which probably is the finest dining establishment in that bedraggled 'hood, and then poked around the utterly deserted LIRR station until the doors to a train finally opened and I boarded it.
The train to Jamaica was somewhat more crowded than the morning's counterpart, with quite a few people boarding at Lawrence and Cedarhurst. My wait at Jamaica was shorter than in the morning, though when the 5:23 to Ronkonoma arrived I was more than a little dismayed to see that it was a cattle train. Not only were all the seats taken, but the standees filled the vestibules and spilled over into the aisles. It also made every stop from New Hyde Park to Ronkonkoma. I figured that seats would become available at some point, and I finally snagged one at Westbury or Hicksville, I forget which. We actually got into Ronkonkoma about ten minutes late, though it had been such a long day it didn't really matter. Even so, I don't regret my decision to take the train, not having to worry about traffic follies.

Hannibal wanted Wiley to take him to the bodies. He wanted to see for himself. Not because he didn't believe him, but there was always a chance. Wiley had said himself he couldn't get down to the bodies, so maybe they weren't dead. Maybe it just looked that way.
He couldn't be dead. Not like that.
Wiley and BA both tried to talk him out of it. Wiley said they'd dropped at least forty feet, maybe more. No way they could've survived that. In the end, he had no choice. He was about to order Wiley when they heard the snap of a branch off in the distance. Then more rustling and snaps. Some distance yet, but getting closer.
They weren't surprised by it. Dimitri had made enough noise to bring the whole country down on them, and Face and Wiley had only added to it. Hannibal knew it was only the terrain that had given them as much time as they'd had. And now they had to move.
The three of them.
They were finally able to take cover in an area of thick, dense growth, waiting and hoping that the gooks would go by, not notice them. Hannibal felt a chill of dread when he finally realized who their pursuers were.
The Pathet Lao.
Hannibal had wondered how long their luck would hold. How long before they ran into these bastards. It was one thing to have the NVA or the VC grab you; like Chow, most of them would send you north eventually. They would try to convert you, try to break you, but you stood a chance, even though it might be small, of surviving.
The Pathet Lao had no such compunctions. Especially since, officially, there were no Americans in Laos. Downed pilots, 'advisors', civilians - whatever happened to them became the stuff of ghost stories, rumors, and lies. Hannibal had only heard of two men who had escaped from these bastards. Then again, that was "officially".
At the moment, his only concern was making sure he and his guys didn't become one of those rumors. Knowing what they were up against helped, of course. The NVA in Laos were tough and smart; these guys were real guerillas. Different mindset, different methods of operating.
The three men crouched in the brush for almost an hour, watching as the PL searched. Hannibal figured they were far enough into the undergrowth to be safe, but they had their knives out, just in case a stray showed up. Suddenly one of the PL came running up to another toward the front of the group. They conferred for a few moments before the runner took off again, and the second man called to his troops.
Within moments, they had disappeared back up the slope.
Hannibal waited another ten minutes before he had them move out. He looked once, back up the hill where they had come from. BA touched his shoulder, his eyes gentle but sober.
"C'mon, man. You know what they found, same's I do." He smiled gently. "Face bought us some time. Don't waste it."
They turned and resumed their journey to Quang Tri.
After sending Wiley back for Hannibal, Face worked fast, finding branches to splint Dimitri's legs. He wasn't sure about the left one, but decided there was no point in taking any chances. He was sweating, trying to get Dimitri ready while at the same time glancing around him, looking for any sign of unfriendlies. He agreed with Wiley - they would be on the way. But he couldn't leave someone out here, helpless. If they could just get him out of this gully, they could leave him where he'd be found; that would not only increase his chances of survival, but the team's as well. The more time the NVA spent on Dimitri, the farther the guys could get.
He stopped suddenly, listening. Nothing. Yet. He wiped the sweat off his face and continued to tie the splints.
The sooner Hannibal got here, the quicker they would all be safer.
He tied the last splint, looked up, frowning. He hadn't noticed the time until now, but...They should've been back by now.
Where the hell were they?
Wiley was on watch, not that it mattered much now. They were all close enough to touch each other, hidden under the low branches of a tree, brush piled up carefully to hide any telltale signs. BA was on his back, head resting on his arms, staring straight up. Not sleeping. Just staring.
Hannibal was looking through the branches, ostensibly watching their back door. Wiley had just looked at him when he told him that, and then looked quickly away. Hannibal figured Wiley was probably having some pretty dark thoughts himself. He'd been the one that Dimitri got away from; he'd been the one following the two men. Hannibal would have to have a talk with him. No putting off this one. He wouldn't let another man walk around with undeserved guilt on his shoulders. What happened today could've happened to any one of them.
Hannibal reached up, carefully, moving the branches just enough to see the stars far above. He set that picture in his head. A reference.
Who knew how long it would take to come back for the body.
Face heard them coming. Confident bastards. Calling back and forth. He tightened his grip on the rifle, sending a hopeful prayer at the same time. He'd feel guilty about the hypocrisy later. Right now, he just wanted those guys to stop before they got to the cliff.
Long before.
"They'll be here soon, you know."
Face whipped around, glaring at Dimitri. The guy picked a great time to come to.
Dimitri smiled, then winced as he tried to move his legs. He painfully raised his head up enough to look before lowering it quickly down again.
"You did that?" His voice was barely audible, but to Face, he might as well have been shouting.
"Yes. Now quiet." He looked up at the top of the cliff, wondering if those voices were the reason Hannibal hadn't come back. No. There was only one reason he wouldn't have come, and Face refused to believe they were dead. He hadn't heard any shooting. None. Maybe they were coming around from the flank...
"You did me a favor."
Face ignored him, still watching the cliff, glancing now and then to the sides. Hoping...
"I will do one in return."
"What?" Face looked down at him, frowning. What could a guy in his condition possibly do?
"I will give you to the count of five to get away. After that, I will have to identify myself to our visitors." Dimitri chuckled dryly. "As you told me the other day, I would not want them to think I am just another American, yes?"
Face looked up, the voices getting closer. He glanced to the sides, but there was still no sign of the guys. He stood, hesitating.
One more glance at Dimitri and the cliff, and he was into the jungle. He didn't know how far he'd get, or which direction he was going.
He just prayed Hannibal was out there. Somewhere.
Six Days
Hannibal sat on the edge of the trees, watching, listening. For the last six days they had been twisting and turning their way across the plains, dodging up into the hills, sloshing through marshland, all the while trying desperately to evade the combination of NVA and Pathet Lao patrols. Hannibal knew something had to be going on. Something big. Yesterday afternoon they'd heard the distant thundering of bombs, and a lot of it. The closer they moved to the border, and what they had thought was safety, the louder the noise and the more enemy they had to hide from. They were all stretched near the end of their rope; Hannibal was only glad it kept their minds from other things.
Now as he sat watching, saw the helicopters and bombers in the air just ahead, saw the smoke and flashes on the ground, he knew they'd walked into one major operation.
BA crouched down beside him, staring in the same direction.
"He's got the rear. Clear so far." BA frowned, the sweat already streaking his face. "Whadda we got, Hannibal?"
"Well, BA, I think we just found the war."
The rifle butt in the square of his back knocked him suddenly to the ground. He scrambled up, half-turning, and got another one from the other side. He lay there, breathing hard, trying not to listen to the laughing around him. Slowly, he stood, waiting. Another hit? Or just a shove to get moving?
A shove. Fine. He stepped forward, head up, eyes straight. Trying to watch where he stepped. Hard enough walking through here; harder still when one of the bastards had taken his boots. Son of a bitch couldn't even wear them, but he took them anyway. Along with the rifle, ammo, canteen. Right down to the damn can opener and his dog tags. One had made a grab for his crucifix. Big mistake. For both of them. Son of a bitch had just tossed it in the river. After he could stand up again.
It took Face a little longer to get up.
"Damn, Hannibal!" BA peeked up from the hollow they'd just dived into. "We gonna get killed by our own bombs, man!"
Hannibal thought it was a damn good possibility, but he wisely didn't say so. Instead, he crawled up next to BA and looked over the edge. Wiley crept up on the other side of BA. They all had their knives out, just in case. They'd run out of ammo a couple days ago, and smashed their weapons against the rocks to keep them out of enemy hands.
Hannibal could hear a familiar thrum in the air and knew they were all looking for it. Then he saw it - the most beautiful Huey he'd ever seen in his life, dropping down just beyond the tree line. Maybe half a mile, give or take.
That could be the longest half-mile of their lives.
They were moving north. North and west. That's all he knew. That, and he had to keep up. Couldn't trip, couldn't slow down. Don't look around. Don't do anything to piss these guys off.
Hope they didn't get bored.
He no longer felt his feet. Maybe they were getting calloused. He hoped so. He didn't look at them. No point. Nothing he could do about it anyway. He just kept walking.
Corey was bringing the bird down fast, automatically ducking every time he heard a ping against the metal. He shook his head, grimacing, at the so-called Intel that said there weren't that many enemy in the area. No, only twice what they'd figured on. He shouldn't bitch, though. From what he'd heard from the other guys, the LZs further south were really getting hammered.
His door gunner had been shooting like hell for the last few minutes, giving the ARVNs time to jump out, and Corey was surprised when the firing suddenly stopped. He looked to the side, and his jaw damn near fell out of the chopper. He squinted, quite sure he was seeing things.
Three Americans, running like hell out of the jungle, waving and hollering. Skinny buggers, and so covered in muck he wouldn't have known they were US if they weren't a good head taller than the NVA.
"See 'em, Corey? I got 'em covered!" The gunner started firing again, this time just to their side. The running men never slowed one iota; if anything, they started running faster. It seemed like it took hours for them to cover those few last yards to the chopper, and then the gunner was yanking them in, yelling at Corey to take off.
Nobody even tried to talk those first few minutes; the crew was too busy and the team too exhausted. Hannibal finally sat up, looking over at BA and Wiley. The three men smiled at each other, then started laughing.
The gunner, Gus by name, finally quit shooting and sat back, staring at them.
"Who the hell are you guys? And where did you come from?"
"I'm Colonel John Smith, Sergeants Baracus and Parish. We were on a recon, got lost."
"Shit, sir, I'll say. There's not supposed to be any American infantry this side of the border. But," he grinned and shook his head, "welcome home!"
He moved up to the front, letting Corey know who the men were, and quickly moved back to his position. Hannibal frowned when he saw the pilot talking into the radio, wondering what kind of reaction there would be on down in Nha Trang when the word came through. Morrison had probably given them up for dead by now.
Hannibal suddenly looked down at the trees passing underneath.
He would be almost right.
Seven Days
He woke that morning, stiff, sore, feeling sick. Without thinking, he started to move, and the sudden bolt of pain through his shoulders reminded him. His arms were pulled back around the tree, not quite tight enough to pull his shoulders out of joint, hands tied too tightly behind it. He wasn't looking forward to the burning in his muscles he knew would hurt like hell when he was finally released.
He heard the guerillas talking among themselves, smelled the cooking. In that, they were no different than Chow's little group. He might get some breakfast; he might not. He hoped he would. It was the only meal he did get. It all depended on their mood, but they were usually fairly mellow in the mornings.
He looked around, trying to get his bearings. He was trying very hard to remember the route they were taking. Futile, he knew, but it gave him something to think about.
Something other than where Hannibal and the others were.
Why they hadn't come back for him...
Hannibal climbed stiffly out of the chopper. They'd had a bumpy ride to Khe Sahn, and surprisingly, within thirty minutes were on another bird on it's way directly to Nha Trang. Wiley and BA were too tired, too happy, to worry about it, but Hannibal knew it wasn't usual. They should've been taken immediately to Quang Tri and checked out, then sent down south. Then again, nothing about this whole damn mission had been usual.
He watched BA and Wiley sleep on the two-plus hour ride. Like everybody else over here, they learned to sleep whenever they had the opportunity. Didn't take much this time. He was glad to see Wiley was finally letting himself relax. Hannibal had had his talk with him, but for some reason, it seemed to have just the opposite effect of what he'd intended. If anything, Wiley seemed more guilt-ridden.
Then again, they'd all been wired, unable to sleep well.
He shifted, looking out at the coast as it slid by underneath them. He was glad to be back, almost home, but there was, of course, that...regret. Hell, sorrow. Face had done more harm to the unit, and yet done more good for it, than any ten men he'd ever had under his command. Goddamn, there was so much potential in that kid...
Had been.
He roused himself as the chopper started down to the tarmac. He'd fallen asleep without even realizing it. He woke BA with a nudge, and he, in turn, woke Wiley. They all stretched as the chopper landed, and climbed out. Hannibal immediately noticed the three Jeeps racing up.
He frowned as the guards scrambled out and hurried over to them. Before they had a chance to react, their hands were cuffed behind them, and each one was placed in a Jeep. BA started to fight, cuffs notwithstanding, until Hannibal barked at him. He tried to ask the MPs what the hell was going on, but they ignored him. The small caravan immediately started away, heading, not for headquarters, but for the highway, going south like bats out of hell.
They drove fast and furious all the way to the airfield at Cam Ranh Bay, and directly into a hangar at the end of the field. The MPs got out, surrounding each Jeep, solemn, silent. Hannibal looked at the others, shaking his head. Keep quiet, don't cause any trouble. Someone would be coming who would explain what was going on. He couldn't help but wonder where Morrison was. He should've been there at Nha Trang, waiting.
They'd waited in silence for maybe twenty minutes when three officers came striding into the hangar. Hannibal noticed immediately they wore CID insignia.
That was not good.
They were pulled from the Jeeps and lined up. Hannibal noted proudly that, regardless of their condition, their confusion and anger, BA and Wiley stood straight and proud.
"Colonel John Smith, Sergeant Bosco Baracus, Sergeant Wiley Parish. You are hereby charged with the following..."
Hannibal couldn't believe it. He'd known they would try to cover this up, but...he stared in horror as the CID officer read off the list of charges - absent without leave, robbery, aiding and abetting the enemy...
It took all of three minutes, and then they were being marched out of the hangar and into a transport. Shackled and separated, they sat, numb, as the plane slowly rumbled down the runway.
"Hey, Murdock! Murdock!"
He turned and looked for the voice calling him. There, across the mess, was Julio, one the Commo guys. He looked pretty excited. Murdock stood up, quickly striding toward him. Julio saw him and ran to meet him.
"Hey, man, you'll never guess! They found your guys! They're on the way back to Nha Trang right now!"
Murdock could feel the blood dropping to his feet. "They're alive?"
"Yeah, guess so. I didn't get all the details, but..."
Murdock ignored whatever else he was going to say, and ran out of the mess. The airfield was close, but not close enough. He ran through the gate and headed for the radio shack. They'd know before anyone when the guys would arrive.
"Hey, Beamer, have you heard anything? About Colonel Smith, I mean? When are they getting here?"
Beamer put his coffee down on the table, frowning. Everybody knew Murdock, and everybody knew how he felt about Smith and his team.
"I'm sorry, man. They've been and gone already. You missed 'em by maybe half an hour."
"Gone?" Murdock took a step back. "What...what do you mean, gone? Where?"
"Don't know, Murdock. Craziest thing I ever saw. They touched down and three Jeeps full of MPs came, hauled 'em away. Headed down Cam Ranh way."
"All of them?"
Beamer looked down. "Well, there were, uh, only three of them, Murdock."
"Three? You mean they only took three. What about the fourth guy?"
"That's what I'm saying, Murdock. There were only three. Smith, BA, and Wiley." He looked sadly at the pilot, who'd gone white as a sheet. "I'm sorry, man. Guess they were the only ones made it out of the boonies."
Murdock nodded slowly and stumbled out of the shack. He stared over the airfield. Watched the people scurrying around, doing their jobs. Pilots shuffling between hangars and planes, choppers. Mechanics standing around smoking, laughing.
Everything looked just the same. Like nothing had changed. Nothing at all.
He couldn't think. He wanted to scream. He wanted...Face...here. Not...not gone.
He straightened suddenly. Not now. Had to think. Had to focus.
Hannibal and the others hauled away. He knew what that meant.
And he knew what he had to do. He had to tell someone what had happened. He wasn't sure who, not Wrenn, but someone. Somebody. He had to tell what Morrison and Curtis had planned.
And what he'd done...

Drake's Reaction When Khabib Jumped The Fence At UFC 229 Was Priceless
At UFC 229 last night (October 6) the action after the main event was more dramatic than the fight itself.
After Conor McGregor tapped out in the fourth round leaving Khabib Nurmagomedov victorious, a brawl started when the Russian jumped out of the Octagon, attacking members of Conor's team.
As chaos ensued the audience looked on in shock, including rapper, Drake, whose face was simply one of shock.
You can't really blame the musician for being so agape.
The post-fight events took everyone by surprise, despite what had happened previously with McGregor at the Barclays Center. Many fans thought it was 'payback'.
Drake was at the T-Mobile arena in Las Vegas last night to show his support for McGregor, draped in an Irish flag.
Joining the Notorious on stage, Drake also posed for photos with the MMA fighter at the event.
The pair's friendship certainly took McGregor's fans by surprise who described it as 'random'.
One puzzled person replied to the Irishman's Instagram post writing:
[This is] the most random thing you will see all day.
Another sighed:
Drake gonna release a new song rapping in an Irish accent smh. [sic]
During the post-fight press conference Nurmagomedov spoke to the press about why he attacked McGregor's team, emphasising it was in response to inflammatory comments made by the Notorious.
As reported by the Independent, he also apologised for his actions saying:
I want to say sorry to the Nevada State Athletic Commission. This is not my best side. He talked about my religion, my country, my father.
He came to Brooklyn, he broke my bus and nearly killed two people. So why do people still talk about me jumping over the cage? I have shown respect.
I told you guys: his whole team and him, they are tap machines. Today he tapped. Undisputed and undefeated.
This is a respectful sport. This is not a trash-talking sport. I want to change this game. You cannot talk about religions and nations. This for me is very important. Thank you for waiting for me. I know my father is gonna smash me when I go home. Nevada: sorry. Vegas: sorry.
He took a picture with Putin. But Putin just called me and told me he is proud of me. And he said congratulations.
While three of Nurmagomedov's team were arrested at the event, they were later released.
UFC President, Dana White, confirmed McGregor has decided not to press charges against Nurmagomedov's team following the mass brawl.
According to the Daily Mail, he spoke to press at the post-fight conference stating:
I saw one of Conor's guys yelling at Khabib, he then jumped over the octagon and went after him.
Two of Khabib's guys got into the octagon and hit Conor with some shots from behind. They have pulled the footage from us and have withheld Khabib's purse but not Conor.
Conor refused to press charges so the guys who were arrested have been released. The guys who jumped in will never fight here. I've been working hard for 18 years to build this sport.
Earlier today (October 7) McGregor called for a rematch, much to no one's surprise.
So it may not be long until we see the pair go toe-to-toe in the Octagon again.
