WALLINGFORD, Conn. (WTNH)– A homecoming celebration was held for veterans in Wallingford Sunday. It was all part of the 4th "Welcome Home Vietnam Veterans Day" in Connecticut.
It took several decades but Vietnam veterans are finally getting the recognition they deserve.
"We join as one and have a nice day together. It's a very therapeutic day," said Ted Aub, Event Chairman.
This ceremonial celebration honors those who served in Vietnam, by giving them a long overdue homecoming.
"The majority of them agree that what the welcome home Vietnam veterans committee is trying to do is warranted and they appreciate it," said Michael Del Monaco, veteran.
Michael Del Monaco served in the army and spent two years in Vietnam. He's been part of the welcome home celebration since it started four years ago.
"For the first time that I came back from Vietnam and people were coming up to me and saying welcome home. We never received that when we returned home from Vietnam," said Del Monaco.
This entire event was spearheaded back in 2010 after then governor Jodi Rell officially made March 30 Welcome Home Vietnam Veterans Day here in Connecticut.
But it's also open to those who've served our country proudly in other wars and conflicts.
"I joined this committee three years ago and the reason why is because when I came home Vietnam vets always made sure I felt welcomed home," said Michael Ruger, veteran.
Sunday's celebration included a car show, vendors, entertainment and moments of appreciation for our men and women in uniform. There was also a map, which attracted a great deal of attention.
"Basically we invite all of the Vietnam vets to come to the map, sign on the map, what unit they were with, when they were there, identify what locations and all that so they can go to the map, see who else comes to these events and where they were and share common ground and common stories," said Ruger.
In honor of Sunday's event and veterans throughout the state, welcome home.

Confirming official information has yet been received, however, the TV channel "al-Mayadin" reported on the progress of the Turkish army into Syria. According to the channel, a checkpoint installed in the town of Afrin, where the predominantly Kurdish population.
Recall that Moscow has repeatedly warned Turkey against attempts at a military solution to the Kurdish question in Syria. Earlier, Russian foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov expressed doubt about the conduct of a full-scale ground operation by Turkey in Syria because of the presence of on-site latest videoconferencing.
– I don't think anyone will dare to play a dangerous game… and there to arrange provocations, Lavrov said.Related posts:

The words snugs, and of late, snuggies are heard and written in some publications. As a child living in the immediate area (I lived on Tysen Street directly across from the brick wall, over which we scaled to play baseball on the expansive field the wall was to have kept us out) all of my growing years.
If your parents, or other grownups heard you refer to the men who lived in the harbor as snugs, you'd be chastised and warned not to use the word again.
It connoted an image of a slimy, crawling creature, to the ear, not showing due respect to these men of the sea.
The new name bandied around, "snuggies," while actually less distasteful than than the aforementioned gastropod, does not, in my opinion,
afford respect to those who once lived in the Harbor. These were hardened men who sailed the oceans of the globe, not Teddy Bear like stuffed toys.
As children we were instructed to address these gentlemen as: sailor, captain, and always with a yes sir, or no sir when engaged in conversation.
I have fond memories of those times, and glad I had know some of the retired sailors who resided firstname.lastname@example.com

The Lakers announced earlier this afternoon that they have acquired Orlando Magic forward and former UCLA standout Trevor Ariza in exchange for forward Brian Cook and guard Maurice Evans—a subplot that will surely carry over into tonight's game versus the Indiana Pacers.
Tonight's rematch between the two teams that battled it out in the 1999-2000 NBA Finals already had plenty of intrigue on its own with widespread speculation that the Lakers and Pacers were in discussions this summer that would have sent All-Star forward-center Jermaine O'Neal to Los Angeles in exchange for a package built around Kwame Brown, Lamar Odom or Andrew Bynum.
Nearly six months later and no substantial trade talks since then, the Lakers are sitting pretty with a 6-3 record with the aforementioned Bynum blossoming off the bench for the Lakers. O'Neal meanwhile is struggling, averaging just over 13 points and eight rebounds—numbers that are well below his career averages. However, the Pacers player said before tonight's game that he is nearing 100% health and is ready to assume his usually role as one of the league's preeminent scorers. Hopefully the Lakers won't fall victim to his newfound motivation in tonight's game.
The Pacers opened up the season with success of their own, going 3-0 before losing six straight games prior to winning two nights ago versus the Jazz. Still, the Lakers would be wise to not overlook the Pacers as they have a roster filled with capable players such as leading scorer Danny Granger, Mike Dunleavy and Troy Murphy. Also on the Pacers' roster is former left-handed Lakers guard Kareem Rush.
Tonight's match-up is important for both teams as the Lakers and Pacers look to continue the momentum from their latest victories. The Lakers will need to come out especially focused tonight as it is critical that they start their three game road trip off on the right foot. This is also the first game of a back-to-back for the Lakers with the Milwaukee Bucks hosting L.A. tomorrow night. The Lakers split their last back-to-back with the Spurs and Rockets so they would love to enter Friday's showdown with the Celtics already having taken two on the road.

pleez help me out i need a good fire pokemon for my team, i like charizard but its moves suck so pleez list the pokemon and the move set
14th December 2005, 4:53 AM
*waits for this to get transferred to RMT*
From the first 151 (I'm assuming you haven't finished the game considering you want this advice):
-Charizard's aight
-Arcanine's pretty nice; Curse/Extremespeed's pretty fun
-Magmar's pretty neat, and like the only special sweeping Fire-type (though it's kinda weak)
-Flareon's nice, but its stats are quite random (Physical attack+Special Defense? o.o).
Other than that, you could always be unoriginal and use our second favourite Fire-type legendary birdie. Be prepared to get ROCK SLIDE'd!!11
14th December 2005, 5:01 AM
sorry for puttin in wrong thread, still getting used to this posting business
14th December 2005, 5:08 AM
No. Charizard is awful. Or very close to it.
14th December 2005, 5:25 AM
This is "Rate My Team," not "Give Me a Team." Figure something out first before you post here.
Anyways, the problem with making a Fire Mono Team is that there aren't that many fire types out there. And many of those fire-types have a similar and small movepool. Almost all fire types have a fire move (duh), a ground move like Earthquake and/or a rock move like Rock Slide, and Hidden Power in their moveset since that's usually the best they can get. Also, most if not all fire types are meant, or at least are most effective as, sweepers. That leaves you without any support Pokemon to support the rest of your team. The only exception that I can think of is Ninetales but Ninetales operates best as, for the lack of a better term, an annoyer.
Basically, most fire pokemon are the same and don't have much variety in their movesets or strategy. As a result, the right Pokemon can easily defeat such a team single handedly or with minimal support. A water or ground type would easily destroy a fire mono team.

Pros: Quick, easy, tastes great
Cons: not really healthy for you.
I love to cook, and usually cook a full breakfast, lunch, and dinner for my family. I also bake bread, cookies, muffins, all from scratch, you name it. I have fibromyalgia and a heap of other medical problems. Sometimes I just don't feel like cooking. Maruchan Ramen Noodle Soups are a staple in my home. I usually purchase them by the case, and sometimes even more than that. They are perfect for a quick lunch, or even a quick dinner. The price on these normally run me anywhere from 10 cents to about 30 cents per package. (Your getting a 3 oz package.)
The serving size on this says that it will serve 2. I guess that all depends on who is eating them at my house. I rarely eat them because of the carb count. I love them though. Sometimes I will snack a bit of the broth instead of eating the noodles. I let my family enjoy those.
My family puts about 6 packages of these together if they are having supper. We are a family of 5. I have a toddler, and I can't each much since I have had the gastric bypass. Me and noodles don't get along. So basically the rest of the family consumes the largest portion of these noodles.
They don't like to follow the directions on the packaging:
"Boil two cups of water in saucepan, add noodles, and cook three minutes, stirring occasionally.. Turn off heat and and contents of seasoning package, stir. Serve... makes 2 8 oz servings."
They like to boil up their noodles and then drain up most of the water. They don't measure anything. They just boil a pot of water, add the noodles till soft. Drain most of the water, leaving just a bit. Then they will use the spice packets and add them to taste. They don't like their Ramen soupy. They prefer it more on the dry side, but when they do this they find they need less spice because the packet seems to be mainly salt.
They eat it up now. You would have thought I gave my kids a t-bone steak. In fact, they prefer these noodles to steak, chicken, pot roast, you name it. Thats not always a good thing though. I like to give them variety so I do cook for them most of the time. There is a lot of salt in these: 790mg. Luckily I don't have high blood pressure..lol.
Taste and Consistency
The noodles when cooked and served right away are just the perfect consistency. If you let them sit to long, or over cook them, they seem to get softer and softer. I don't like them that way, but a few of my family members do. These noodles are basically small thin, and twisty, almost like an egg noodle in taste.
The beef packet really just gives these noodles a salty beef bouillon type of flavor. I prefer to use a bit less seasoning packet. The consistency of the beef packet is just like a thin and dark colored beef bouillon. It slightly colors the noodles.
You can add veggies, meats, or what ever you wish to these while cooking. I used to work at a prison, and would watch the inmates put Cheetos in or Doritos, to give them a beefy cheese type of taste. I have seen others use hot sauce. I guess you can dress them up or down however you chose. I like them plain when I do eat them.
I do recommend cutting them up if you have a small toddler. I am always afraid she might choke on the large twisty strands. I just chop them up a bit and then she can handle them a bit better.
Nutritional Facts
Serving size 1/2 block
noodles with seasoning 43g
Servings per container 2

Total Carb 26g
Dietary Fiver 1g

Protein 5g
Vit a less than 2%
Vit c 0
Calcium less than 2%
Iron 8%
So your basically getting a dry mix with noodles that you have to add boiled water to and then mix. It is pretty easy to prepare, quite tasty, but not the healthiest for you. I give it 5 stars for taste, convenience, and my family enjoys them. I highly recommend them only as an occasional food. They make a great side dish, or main dish, or a base for a main dish that you can add other ingredients to.

The first official image with the brand new Infiniti Q50L has been recently released by the Japanese based automaker, ahead of its public debut.
We all know that Chinese people have their fetishes for long wheelbase versions of cars, for no obvious reasons because it's not like they have really long legs, and in order to stay competitive, the Japanese based automaker Infiniti has recently released such a version of the Q50, which has been called, "miraculously", the Q50L. The model in question is actually 48 mm longer than the standard one and it will stand at 4,852 mm in length and with a wheelbase stretched to 2,898 mm.
The Infiniti Q50L will be coming with a Direct Adaptive Steering system, with the Active Lane Control, the InTouch HCI system and the Bose audio system, amongst others. Power to the model will be provided by a brand new 2.0 liter four-cylinder gasoline burner, which is capable of producing a total output of 208 HP and 320 Nm of torque. The engine will be connected to a 7-speed automatic transmission. The Infiniti Q50L will be officially presented to the public, later on this month, during the 2014 Chengdu Motor Show.

What is a "Mesonet?"
A mesonet is a particular type of observing network, with weather stations spaced close enough together to adequately sample "mesoscale" weather. "Meso-" refers to weather phenomena that range in size from less than a mile to hundreds of miles long and last a few minutes to hours.
The idea of a network of weather stations (a mesonet) is nothing new, and scientists have long known its value. The first "mesonet" was deployed hundreds of years ago, with weather stations deployed across much of central Europe. However, data had to be collected with hand-held instruments, with the results gathered by mail. Fortunately, today's technology now permits real-time data collection throughout the depth of the atmosphere.
The New York State Mesonet will ultimately consist of 125 state-of-the-art environmental monitoring stations and will serve as the foundation of an Early Warning Severe Weather Detection network for the entire State of New York. Mesonet sites will be distributed statewide with every county across New York having at least one or more sites. The Mesonet will provide local, updated weather information in real-time 24/7 to government, academic, and private sector partners as well as the general public. The Mesonet was designed and developed by research scientists at the State University of New York at Albany's Atmospheric Sciences Research Center, and Department of Atmospheric and Environmental Sciences and through collaboration with the Oklahoma Mesonet.
What makes the New York State Mesonet Unique?
Like most mesonets, the New York State Mesonet will collect measurements of a number of surface and atmospheric variables, such as temperature, relative humidity, wind speed and direction, surface pressure, soil moisture, soil temperature, solar radiation, and precipitation amounts for rainfall and snow accumulation.
What makes the New York State Mesonet unique is that of the 125 network stations, 17 of those stations will be enhanced with state-of-the-art vertical profiling instrumentation to capture vertical profiles of temperature, relative humidity, and "3D" wind speed as well as an accurate measurement of boundary layer height and cloud base height. In addition, data from enhanced profiler instrumentation will allow aerosol and cloud optical properties to be derived.
These vertical observations will, by themselves, provide a very detailed, three dimensional "image" of the atmosphere at very high spatial and temporal resolutions. In addition, enhanced products will be created from these data and used as input to high-resolution Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP) models to improve severe weather forecasting. These high-resolution data and enhanced forecast products will be provided to the National Weather Service Weather Forecast Office (NWS-WFO), and the New York State Division of Homeland Security & Emergency Services (DHSES), to augment and improve their forecasting and emergency management decisions.
How Often Will Data Be Measured?
For standard surface measurements, the data will be collected every 1 to 15 minutes, with 5 minutes being the preferred data rate. These observations are packaged, and transmitted, via the internet, to a central Mesonet ingest system located in the University at Albany's state-of-the-art, Tier-3 certified Data Center. The data are quality assured, archived, and used to generate a wealth of products available to user consumption through the New York State Mesonet web portal.
For enhanced measurements, data rates are dependent of the fidelity of the data required as well as the desired products that will be developed. Data rates and products for the various vertical profiler and flux instrumentation are currently being designed and developed.

JACKSONVILLE – Here's What We Learned from the Jaguars' 2014 preseason opener against Tampa Bay Friday and the second full week of 2014 training camp …
2. Bortles is going to be good. Progress is one thing, but what good is it if you're ceiling isn't high? Yes, Bortles was playing against Tampa Bay's second team. And yes, the Buccaneers only blitzed Bortles once. Still, the ceiling for Bortles looks high. It's hard to imagine watching him that he won't be good. He made NFL throws. He made NFL decisions. He showed poise. Within the framework of what he was asked to do, he did it. That doesn't mean it's time to start him, though, which leads us to …
4. Bortles will work with the first team in the preseason. It's probably not going to happen this week, but Bradley said Saturday Bortles likely will work with the first team sometime in the preseason. That's the case with a lot of rookies, though of course it will make more news when it's Bortles.
6. The Jaguars' defensive line is stout … The Jaguars signed end
7…. and it's deep.
8. Davis is going to have a role this season. Davis, who originally signed as a collegiate free agent following the 2012 NFL Draft, has emerged not only as a player who will make the team but as one who will have a significant role as a Leo pass rusher. He has real ability as an inside rusher, and he and rookie
12. The competition is ongoing at center. Third-year veteran
14. This is a different team than last season. Sure, that's supposed to be the case. The Jaguars this time last year had just lost their preseason opener to the Miami Dolphins, 27-3. Little went right, and months of roster moves and culture changed lay ahead. Fast forward to this season, and the Jaguars appear to have a chance to have a reliable defense and a young quarterback with potential to grow into a long-term fixture at the position. That's a lot of ground to have covered in a year.

2011 housing market showed little recovery
Another year, another weak housing market.
Eastern Connecticut's housing industry continued to limp along in 2011 despite mortgage rates at record low levels. But if experts are correct, this coming year could bring some brighter prospects.
Connecticut's permits for new-home construction, considered a barometer of future activity, fell 19 percent through November. And median housing prices for both New London and Windham counties declined during this year's third quarter. Median housing prices in New London County fell 2.7 percent during the July-through-September period and dropped 11.6 percent in Windham County.
Nonetheless, Lawrence Yun, chief economist for the National Association of Realtors, says emerging national data is showing more consumers taking advantage of this decidedly buyers-oriented market.
"Sales (have) reached the highest mark in 10 months," Yun says, predicting that a "genuine sustained sales recovery appears to be developing."

1. Cleaning Shrimp
and fish at coral reefs
Cleaning shrimp interact with these fish by eating up the parasites on their bodies. The shrimp benefit because they get a free meal, and the fish benefit because they get a thorough cleaning. This is an example of MUTUALISM because both animals benefit. However, sometimes the shrimp will "cheat" and chew off mucus from the fish which is an example of PARASITISM. In this scenario, the shrimp are benefiting but the fish aren't.
Symbiotic Relationships
By: Mriganka Mandal
2. Hermit Crabs and shells
3. Plovers
and crocodiles
Plovers (specifically the "Egyptian Plover" breed) interact with crocodiles by hopping in their mouth and eating the leftover food remnants stuck in their teeth. The plovers benefit because they get a free meal (sound familiar?) and the crocodiles benefit because they get their teeth clean. This is an example of MUTUALISM because both animals benefit.
4. Oxpeckers and rhinoceroses
5. Gall insects and trees
Gall insects interact with (oak) trees by laying their eggs in them. The larvae of the insect rapidly feed on the tree's flesh. In order to keep the insect toxins away, the oak will develop a round lump of tissue (called a gall). Eventually, the fully grown insects eat their way out of the tree. The gall insects benefit because they get a free home and free food, whereas the oak doesn't benefit- it gets hurt! This is an example of PARASITISM because one organism benefits at the cost of the other. Regardless, the organism that benefits keeps the benefactor alive, not dead .
6. Egrets and hippos
Egrets interact with hippos by eating up the parasites on their bodies. The egrets benefit because they get food, and the hippos benefit because they get cleaned. There is also a hidden relationship, though. Egrets are very alert birds, so if they spy danger they react very quickly. Hippos benefit from this because they get a head start in escaping predators or other dangerous things (the egrets are riding on their backs, so they know very quickly). This is an example of MUTUALISM because both organisms benefit.
7. Honeyguide birds and ratels
Honeyguide birds interact with ratels (honey badgers) by directing them towards a source of honey by shaking its tail. When they finally find the hive, the ratel tears it apart and devours the sweet honey inside. (Due to his thick pelt, he is protected from the bees.) Then, the ratel leaves the wax behind for the honeyguide. The honeyguide gets its favorite food, wax, and the ratel gets his honey. This is and example of MUTUALISM because both organisms benefit.
8. Sea anemones and clownfish
Sea anemones interact with clownfish by protecting them against predators. Clownfish protect sea anemones too because they scare off its main predator, the butterfly fish. If one were to remove the cf. from the s.a., they would find that butterfly fish would come and devour it. Likewise, the clownfish would be eaten by other predators. This is an example of MUTUALISM because both are benefiting.
9. Spider crabs and algae
Spider crabs interact with algae by using the algae for protection. The crab takes bits of algae and places it on its back. The spider crabs benefit because they can use the algae to to blend with the ocean floor and protect themselves from predators. This is an example of COMMENSALISM because because one organism benefits while the other has no reaction whatsoever. However, this can also be interpreted as MUTUALISM because one could say that the algae also benefits by having a nice habitat to grow in.
10. Bacteria and humans
11. Goby fish and shrimp
12. Torsalo flies and humans
13. Sharks and remora fish
14. Ants and Acadia trees
(Bullhorn Acacia) ants interact with Acadia trees by protecting them against unwanted invaders such as other ants, animals, and even other plants. They hide in the tree's thorns, and if an organism comes too close, they release an alarm pheromone in the air. If the organism continues to intrude, the ants will file out in large masses and sting them. They will also strangle plants growing nearby. In return, the Acacia excrete protein and nectar for them. The ants benefit because they get food, and the Acadia trees benefit because they get protection. This is an example of MUTUALISM because both beings benefit.
15. Ambrosia beetles and fungi
Ambrosia beetles interact with fungi by "cultivating" it in a dead tree and then eating it. The beetles get food, and the fungi get a nice place to live. In my opinion, this is an example of mutualism because both organisms benefit.
16. Orchids and tropical rainforest trees
Orchids interact with tropical rainforest trees by growing on them. The orchids benefit because they have a nice location to grow in (up in the air with plenty of sunlight). This is an example of COMMENSALISM because one organism is benefiting while nothing is happening to the other.
New Relationships # 1:
New Relationships # 2:
New Relationship # 3:
Hermit crabs interact with (snail) shells by living in them until they grow out. Then, they move out and find a new one. This is an example of COMMENSALISM because one organism benefits, and the other isn't affected at all. This is because nothing happens to the shell or the snail because the snail has already moved out or died. On the other hand, the hermit crab gets a new home.
Oxpeckers interact with rhinos by eating up the parasites on its body. The oxpeckers benefit because they get food, and the rhinos benefit by getting a cleaning of their parasites. This is an example of MUTUALISM because both organisms benefit. However, research has shown that the oxpeckers will eat up scabs and flesh from the rhinos. This is an example of PARASITISM because one organism benefits while the other suffers.
This is a very special relationship because it is happening in your body right now as you read this! It can be interpreted in many different ways, though.
Goby fish interact with shrimp by protecting them from predators. The shrimp builds a burrow for the two and takes care of it. The fish stand outside on guard. If it sees a predator, it alerts the shrimp by flicking its tail- and the shrimp darts into the burrow! During the fish's reproduction time, the shrimp lets the fish use the burrow for a nursery to store its eggs. The fish gets a home, and the shrimp gets protection. This is an example of MUTUALISM because both organisms benefit.
The torsalo fly (a.k.a. the botfly) interacts with humans by using his/her body as a nursery. After catching a mosquito, the mother botfly releases her eggs on it. When the mosquito "bites" a human, the eggs enter the puncture area. There, they hatch and nourish themselves by feeding on their human host. Eventually, they become adults and break out of the human's skin. Meanwhile, the human suffers by going through extreme pain and discomfort as well as tissue loss. This is an example of PARASITISM because one organism benefits, but the other suffers. WARNING: IF YOU GET SQUEAMISH WHILE LOOKING AT
Remora fish interact with sharks by munching on their leftover food and parasites. The remora fish get food, and the shark gets clean. As a result, the remora fish travel everywhere the sharks go (usually directly underneath their bellies). This is an example of MUTUALISM because both organisms benefit.
1. Bees and flowers
Bees interact with flowers by pollinating them. The bees get to collect nectar to make their own food, and the flowers get pollinated. This is a very important step because without being pollinated, the flowers wouldn't be able to reproduce. Likewise, the bees would starve if they didn't get nectar.
2. Humans and apple trees
Humans (or any other animal, for that example) interact with apple trees by eating their fruits. When they do, they indirectly spread the seeds (hopefully in the ground). This causes the apple tree seeds to grow far away from the parent plant without overcrowding. This is an example of MUTUALISM because both organisms are benefiting. (The human gets a free snack.)
3. Animals and plants
This is probably an extremely obvious one! The animals interact with the plants by inhaling oxygen and breathing out carbon dioxide. The plants "inhale" CO2 (I can't type subscripts) and they exhale oxygen. Without them, we wouldn't exist! This is an example of MUTUALISM because both animals are benefiting.
1. Mutualism- Most types of bacteria in our bodies follow this because they help us break down our food. They also protect us against harmful microbes that attack us. It's a win-win situation!
2. Commensalism- Some bacteria just live in our bodies without doing any harm. This is commensalism because one side benefits, whereas the other doesn't react at all.
3. Parasitism- Some pathogenic bacteria types will exploit the cells in a human's body for its own benefit (survival) . On the other hand, the cells are seriously weakened.
1. Tapeworms and humans
Tapeworms interact with humans by using them as a nursery for its larvae. After the human consumes the eggs (which can be obtained by eating undercooked/raw meat), the eggs hatch and absorb its nutrients. The human suffers by feeling extreme pain in the stomach area, loss of nutrients, and worms in the feces.
2. Lice and humans
Lice interact with humans by hopping on their scalp and sucking their blood as nourishment. The human suffers extreme itchiness on their scalp due to the blood loss. They can also grow in the armpits. (Ewww!)
3.Hemlock Wooly Adelgids and hemlock trees
The H.W.as. affect the hemlock tree by drinking its sap and then injecting a toxin into it. After this, the hemlock tree begins to lose its needles. If left untreated, it will die in four to ten years. Meanwhile, the adelgid takes advantage of the dying tree and uses it as a giant nest for her eggs. After it dies, the bugs have no more use for it, so they move on to another tree.
<--Fuzzy eggs!
1. Birds and trees
NOTE: This only applies to birds that live in nests on tree boughs. The birds get a safe place to live, sheltered by leaves, whereas the trees are left perfectly unharmed (unless the bird is really fat and the tree's branch breaks off, which RARELY EVER HAPPENS).
2. (Dead) trees and mushrooms
Mushrooms interact with dead trees by decomposing them and (basically) returning it back to the soil. It also uses the tree's nutrients for itself to survive. The mushroom is benefiting because it gets food, and nothing happens to the dead tree, because...well, it's dead!
3. Mites on beetles
NOTE: This only applies to mites that use their beetles ONLY for transportation, and not for food.
These mites get to hitch a ride on a beetle for no pay whatsoever, and nothing happens to the beetle at all. (Sometimes they don't even notice that they're there!)

Rory Gallagher
Kickback City
2013, Eagle Rock/Music On Vinyl
Rating: 5/5
Several years back I discovered the wonderful world of Rory Gallagher music. I really enjoyed the releases that I heard then Eagle Rock started to reissue them along with some fantastic DVD's. It was a great time to be a Rory fan. Last year the original mixes of Gallagher's albums started to get reissued. As someone that only had the reissues this was welcomed once I read that the original mixes were far superior (aren't they usually?) I had to buy the albums again. What a difference! The new ones are far superior to previous issues. Enter Music On Vinyl to release these original versions on LP and it gets expensive for fans.
KICKBACK CITY is a compilation set issued by Eagle on CD/Digital and Music On Vinyl for …vinyl. Being a Rory fan I had to go with the double LP set (as I am slowly picking up his catalog on LP). For this review I first heard the songs in this arrangement through an online Press Stream. It was interesting to hear Gallagher's Film Noir themed songs all put together like this. I am accustomed to hearing his music as he intended on the original albums so this shook it up a little. After a few listens my anticipation for the double gatefold LP was heightened. It couldn't arrive quick enough.
The first LP is all studio material and it appropriately begins with the title track. As anyone that is either bit familiar with Gallagher knows that his upbeat style of Blues Rock guitar is unparalleled. This well put together collection is made up of songs from all over Rory's career. From " Sinner Boy" off his self titled debut to "Kid Gloves" from FRESH EVIDENCE and the title track from DEFENDER along with "Loneshark Blues" you get a few of his deeper cuts alongside some more popular ones. Hearing the songs laid out like this is refreshing and adds a bit more life to them. You hear them in a different context that you wouldn't normally hear them. While listening to the album I found myself paying more attention to the lyrics to get the full effect of the crime/detective element. Definitely an enjoyable listening experience.
The second disc (or LP in my case) is a Live one. It has a couple of the same songs on it as the first one. Many say that Rory live is where it is at but I tend to disagree. I love his studio work more but he was definitely quite the performer and musician on stage. The live disc contains two of my personal favorite Rory tracks; "Tattoo'd Lady" and "Messin' With The Kid". Both of these are fantastic songs and these live versions are amazing to hear. Add in the live version of "Continental Op" and you cannot go wrong.
The third disc is a CD of Aiden Quinn reading THE LIE FACTORY book that is included in the package. An interesting concept of a short story inspired by Rory's music. The song's on KICKBACK CITY are the soundtrack to it and the one's that made it all happen.
An extraordinary compilation! An original way to bring music to new fans and to get the old fans to buy it as well. With KICKBACK CITY there is something for all in that it is not a tired, boring, typical collection of songs. This themed piece is fun and adds a new spark to Rory's legacy. Well done.

int xxpower(dev_info_t *dip, int component, int level);
The system calls the power(9E) entry point (either directly or as a result of a call to ddi_dev_is_needed(9F)) when it determines that a component's current power level needs to be changed. The action taken by this entry point is device driver specific. In the example of the SCSI target disk driver mentioned previously, setting the power level of the component to 0 results in sending a SCSI command to spin down the disk, while setting the power level to the normal power level results in sending a SCSI command to spin up the disk. Example 8-1 shows a sample power(9E) routine.
int xxpower(dev_info_t *dip, int component, int level) { struct xxstate *xsp; int instance; instance = ddi_get_instance(dip); xsp = ddi_get_soft_state(statep, instance); /* * Make sure that the request is valid */ if (xx_valid_power_level(component, level)) return (DDI_FAILURE); mutex_enter(&xsp->mu); if (xsp->xx_power_level[component] != level) { device- and component-specific setting of power level. xsp->xx_power_level[component] = level; } mutex_exit(&xsp->mu); return (DDI_SUCCESS); }

These range from mild, moderate and even severe depression to Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) and "the blues". Produces results in most people in just a few days, often in hours. Used to manage stress, anxiety and depression on a daily basis, many people find their overall quality of life increases. When things get overwhelming, reset with Happiness of Mind.

Agar 35
Use: Anxiety, stress and fatigue
$35.00 per 40 pills
Agar 35 is the most common and widely endorsed traditional Tibetan compound for all types of anxiety, stress and fatigue. By balancing all three humours, energy is increased and stress is relieved. This formula addresses many symptoms and include insomnia, overactive mental states, uneasiness, nervousness, jittery nerves, mental upset, lower back pain, feeling tense, dizziness (tinnitus) and pain in upper back due to excess of rLung and affective for unlocalized pain; as well as difficulty in breathing. Brings support to the kidneys, liver, blood and overall circulation.
Agar 35 is specially useful with commonly seen patterns in clinical practice that are associated with general anxiety disorder (GAD), obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The treatment principles for this multi-element pattern are to course the liver and rectify the qi, fortify the spleen and supplement the qi, nourish the heart and quiet the spirit, transform phlegm, clear heat, and quicken the blood. Because it is common to see not only a liver-spleen disharmony but a liver-stomach disharmony as well, we can also add the treatment principles of downbearing counterflow and harmonizing the stomach. If one looks at the ingredients in Agar-35 from a Chinese medical point of view, one will see that that is exactly what this formula does.
Non habit-forming but surprisingly powerful, Agar 35 is a safe and effective means of allowing your body to effectively deal with life's aggravations and turmoil. This formula is specially supportive to meditation practitioners and for anyone who use their minds with intensity.
Use one to two pills once a day in a.m. or p.m. with hot water.

Re: "Give us voters a little credit" (letter, 1-14).
Why would anyone give voters credit for passing legislation that not only violates federal law but condemns future generations to disastrous health consequences?
Not once during the legalization campaign were the health aspects of using marijuana dissected. Why didn't the medical and health care professionals weigh in? Maybe they're looking for a new revenue stream. Instead, a 20-second TV spot bamboozled the naive voters into thinking a large new revenue stream would be created and the state would save millions in legal costs (wasn't marijuana already decriminalized?) along with taking organized crime off the streets.
Creating a new revenue stream by legalizing a psychogenic drug is irresponsible and medically insane, and organized crime will only transfer to the legal storefront. Our youth, who were on the fence because of the legal issue, will indulge at a much younger age and longer. If health care costs are on the rise now, just wait until the physical and mental effects of marijuana use hit the hospitals; medical costs will skyrocket.
Hey, I have an idea. Let's legalize prostitution. Now there's a revenue stream.

I know the difference between erosive features and excavation cones. The
point I was trying to make is that the erosive features are evidence of high
energy erosion which would have removed the excavation cones as the next
turbidite rolled into place over the previous one. And further, the marine
life making the burrows would have been carried away in the turbidite along
with the excavation cones, only to be buried again in the next layer of mud.
I am currently rereading. Raymond, L.A. 1995 "Petrology; The study of
Igneous, sedimentary, and Metamorphic Rocks." I also have on hand waiting
to be read, Stow, A.V. ed. 1992, "Deep-Water Turbidite Systems" and Warren,
J. 1999, "Evaporites, their Evolution and Economics."

The animals would likely have burrowed out leaving behind excavation cones,
When the next turbidite comes along, the cones and animals are swept away
and mixed up into the turbidite as it sorted it's load and deposited it.
Again the animals would find themselves buried in mud and have to dig their
way out, only to be swept away again. No one is suggesting that they all

No. The question then is, how does Baumgardner propose that the heat is
dissipated? He proposes that some of it is take above the atmosphere by
water geysers. Some will be used to melt the cool and dense oceanic crust
which sank into the mantle. Baumgardner has calculations on the amouts of
energy that would be dissipated to space by way of water geysers.

Others at the JPL and Sandia labs have done such modeling concerning
asteroid impacts. Computer modeling of the Jupiter impacts and the tunguska
event (and confirmed by the impacts on Jupiter) show that the fireballs jet
into space by way of the asteoroid trajectory path through the atmosphere.
The fireballs represent the major part of the heat generated by the impact
explosions. Explosion in the air or on the ground will behave pretty much
the same with the fireball jetting back to space through the trajectory
However, above a certain magnitude of power, the impact explosions will
simply blow away the entire atmosphere above the impact site. The generated
heat would be be jetted into space through the gaping hole in the
Do I have on hand all the sources and data to back these statements up? No.
I have simply presented a summary of what anyone would know if they were
familiar with the literature dealing with asteroid impacts. It can easily
be confirmed through a little reading or by contacting those knowledgable on
the subject.

At this point I do not have an answer for that. But to say, that one thing
that needs to be forgotten is the idea that the Flood was a large homogenous
mess. Rather, that it was composed of thousands of individual wave and
surge events associated with asteroid impacts and tectonic violence (and
other more minor events). I would suggest that these microfossils did not
settle out of the water. Rather, they became trapped in high concentrations
muddy mixes which were rapidily deposited.

I am engaging in exactly the same mental exercises in modeling and thinking
that scientists studying the effects of asteroid impacts are doing. Most of
what I have been saying comes from what I have read here and there in the
literature about impacts and their effects. The only difference is that I
(and other Creationary Catastrophist) are proposing that nearly all the
known impact craters happened over about a 5 month period rather than spread
out over millions of years.

In a catastrophic environment it is flee or die, there is no such luxury as
sleep. Besides, survival of all the animals is not expected, nor
guaranteed. Extinction was the order of the day during the flood
Let me ask. Is there an increase in the number of burrows per strata as one
goes upward through the Haymond formation? If it does increase, or at least
remain relatively constant then one could propose an increased or static in
population over time. However, a decrease in the number of burrows from
bottom to top is what one could expect in an catastrophic environment due to
the lack of survival of the animals.

Go play Angry Birds if you want a "much more casual exciting endgame". Stop trying to ruin my MMO.
So now that you guys are done yelling at the one guy, what'd you think of the 'legendary' difficulty heroic idea? No one even said anything about it... I feel like with that idea they could get rid of LFR (the number of threads complaining how bad it is by casuals is getting exceedingly high lately) if they do this. I think it's a good idea and based on the way it got ignored, you guys probably do too.
"There is a pervasive myth that making content hard will induce players to rise to the occasion. We find the opposite. " -- Ghostcrawler
"Almost every time I have gotten to know a critic personally, they keep up with the criticism but lose the venom." -- Ghostcrawler
1955 At the first Atoms for Peace meeting in Geneva, Homi Babba predicts that fusion will be in commercial use within two decades.
Casuals would demand the book be written in "simple English" and have no more than 100 pages. So everyone can achieve and experience the content. Perhaps they would want summary of previous books in the series, so they can catch up easily. It is convenience after all. If everyone pays the same $15, why cater to hardcore bookworms? Then casuals would also hate the elitist bookworms who boast of having read the book and call them names on forums.
This thread is the exact same as when it comes to people and the economy - Every person has some sort of solution they see as an obvious fix for it, yet have absolutely NO clue how the economy actually works. Blizzard is doing an extremely good job, if you are indifferent about it - No one can stop you from leaving, which you should.
Maybe you should request some ideas instead of just complaining? ...maybe?
Sweeter than yo mama's apple pie.
As a raider, and person who enjoys playing alts (not necessarily raiding on his alts) I can see where people come from when they want more casual friendly end-game stuff.
I consider the Timeless Isle and Flex a great step in the right direction for casual players. It offers pretty generous Ilvl for just a little bit of farming, and fully upgraded you can jump right into Flex/Normal SoO. My only complaint is that it gets a little bit boring, but the best part is that it's not gated and you can do it at your own pace.
Before the Timeless Isle and Flex I hardly played any of my alts at all, I really hated what they decided to do at the launch of MoP. I could grind reps by doing endless dailies on my shaman to get some 489's from rep, or run LFR. I used to go weeks without getting something from LFR, and dealing with the subpar playing and wipes really just made me hate playing my alts for a long time. I can imagine if I didn't have time to properly raid I would've quit the game too, and been super annoyed.
I imagine that the Timeless Isle model and Flex should be pretty satisfying to casuals though, and if they're not... I wonder what people actually want when they say a more casual friendly end game? The main focus of this game is PvE, and to a lesser extent PvP. It's really hard to get away from that. In what other what can you even feel a sense of progression other than your characters power increasing? I'm genuinely interesting in the ideas some people could have for casual friendly endgame that doesn't involve raiding/pvping.
As a general rule of thumb though, for me, when my alts are fun to play... I consider the game casual friendly.
at this point saying casual and endgame just makes me smile isnt that what achivements and pet battles is for
History will have to record that the greatest tragedy of this period of social transition was not the strident clamor of the bad people, but the appalling silence of the good people - Martin Luther King, Jr.
http://www.wowhead.com/npc=51734/gordon-tramsay hanging out in the steam pools and not offering a quest? Why is that zone just a vacant unused resort for npcs?
Like I said there is nothing wrong with raiding nor do I see anyone asking for it to be removed. It just seems these days every 3-4 months they roll out the red carpet for the next raid and put up the red rope around whatever catchup mechanic they create to get you into the midst of the new big ride they made. In vanilla at least you had a ton of other things to do that got you into the story. I had a blast doing that when my guild wasn't raiding. There are a lot of cool areas in the existing game Blizzard could do things with when they make a new patch. Everyone wins.

Update: As one might expect, this API restriction has also hit Pocketpedia; the app is now pulled as well (as of 7/17).
Sudden removal of an item from the App Store isn't unheard of; sometimes an app has a hidden bug or a content problem, and if Apple hasn't seen fit to take it off the store shelves then the developer can take matters into his, her or its own hands. Even applications that would seem to be wholly gratuitous and obvious ripoffs of other companies' IP might make it past the first round of Apple's scrutiny, only to be abruptly pulled under threat of litigation.
Apps that leverage content from websites and online services have another hurdle to clear: they may run afoul of trademark or licensing restrictions that prevent them from doing particular things with data from those third parties... things like, ferinstance, using that data on mobile devices.
This all brings us to Scenario D: the 'D' is for Delicious, and it's Delicious Monster's iPhone version of Library that's undergoing an unwelcome and rapid yanking from the App Store -- and believe it or not, Apple has nothing to do with it. Earlier today, Head Monster Wil Shipley announced that the iPhone app is on indefinite suspension and is no longer for sale; this is the consequence of a particular clause in the Amazon API terms and conditions. Part 4(e) of Amazon's agreement, which Shipley is a party to due to the desktop DL app's reliance on Amazon for book and DVD data, reads as follows:
(e) You will not, without our express prior written approval requested via this link , use any Product Advertising Content on or in connection with any site or application designed or intended for use with a mobile phone or other handheld device.Amazon gave D-M an ultimatum: pull the iPhone app, or lose the API access for the desktop version of Library. Despite Shipley's requests for a mobile device exception, the big A did not relent. It's not 100% clear why Amazon chose to enforce this clause now, nor why the company is not providing exceptions to developers. We have an email in to their press office to inquire.
If you've got DL on your iPhone already, enjoy. If not... it could be a long wait.

Irish columnist: faithful should share cost of abuse settlements
September 23, 2011
With the Irish Catholic Church embroiled in a debate about the use of parish funds to pay sex-abuse settlements, one Catholic columnist has announced that he would not object if his donations are put to that purpose.
"It's true that ordinary Mass-goers had nothing to do with the scandals and strictly speaking are under no moral obligation to help pay the victims of abuse," concedes David Quinn. Nevertheless, he writes, "I believe one part of the Church needs to be in solidarity with every other part of the Church."

At 2:15 on 18th October 2014 (15 minutes later than planned) Louise and I got married! The official photographers photo's have arrived and we are really pleased with them. Look out for a longer post about the day soon! Until then here's a slideshow of some of the best photos that the photographer put together for us. What a lot of SMILES!

Family BBQ video
Last weekend we took a drive to Chipping Sodbury for a family BBQ at Louise's parents, perfect weather and a lot of fun for the kids in the pool.
I used the ZOE photo feature on my HTC One phone to capture the pictures and this is the video it generated at the end of the day. The geek in me approves!
Our Cape Verde Winter Sun 2013
1 week ago Louise and I were boarding our flight home from Cape Verde, 1 week! It already seems a lot longer than that!
Louise and I had a great 7 days soaking up some winter sun, waking up to a view of a snowy Gatwick Airport from our (rather comfy!) Premier Inn window to relaxing on a beach watching the sun go down less than 12 hours later was a great feeling!
We stayed on the Island of Sal at the Melia Tortuga Beach resort (Upgraded to a 3 bed Villa for some unknown reason???) for one of the laziest weeks holiday I've ever experienced. Thankfully we did plan it to be lazy, days spent reading, sleeping, eating and drinking were just what we wanted after a busy Christmas period. We were a little adventurous for a few hours with a small 4×4 tour to see the Island, but to be honest Sal isn't a destination that has much to reveal, it's long sandy coastline and windy nature attracted both beach and watersports lovers.
We're already thinking ahead to another winter sun break next year, it was perfect to escape the UK winter!
My Terramundi pot reveals it's contents
This week I found that I was unable to squeeze in any more coins into the Terramundi Pot my Sister kindly gifted me a some ago, so with some sadness it was time to crack it open…
A few weeks in and a report on the fitbit
It's been a few weeks since I invested in a pair of Fitbit's for Louise and I, so I thought I'd share my experiences so far.
A rocky start
As I documented back on 22nd April I managed to brick my fitbit within hours of opening the box, what I thought would be a harmless firmware upgrade killed the fitbit…
Within a few days it became obvious that the 2nd (Louise's) Fitbit also had a problem, it was not registering the number of floors climbed, a quick email exchange with Fitbit support and they told me to try a reset and Firmware update…. GULP.
2nd Fitbit bricked
The Firmware update on the 2nd Fitbit also failed, resulting in a Fitbit that did power on but is not recognised when placed in it's holder… it did sync wirelessly and still counted steps but did not register floors climbed still.
Great customer service
This is where my Fitbit experience improves (Thankfully!) On both occasions brand new Fitbits were sent to me within a few days without having to return either of the broken fitbits, along with the advice 'Don't attempt a Fitbit FW update unless absolutely necessary!' In totally we were without fitbit for less than a week which whilst an annoyance was a good outcome I thought.
Working Fitbits
Now Louise and I have 2 fully working Fitbits and they are really good! It's funny knowing that this little device in my pocket is there makes me a little more active than when it's not! I take the stairs more often, I walk from the station more, I basically move more! That little competitive streak (that is very hidden in me!) rises and urges me to get a good step count for the day and maybe get a badge emailed to me! (A rewarding psychology makes all the difference!)
The Fitbit website and stats
The website is really good, the Fitbits sync up wirelessly when my Mac is on so there's no need to remember to sync every few days. Below is a screen shot of the website and how I did last Saturday.
The Battery life for these little devices is amazing, we both go a whole week without charging the things, for a device this small and light I have no idea where the battery is!
Even with the difficult start I would recommend a Fitbit to people looking to measure their activity levels and hopefully push them on to doing a little more, the device is easy to use (If Apple made something like this… it would be just like this!) and very clever.
Time for bed said Zebedee
Analysing my sleep patterns is also interesting. I've learnt that I sleep like a log…. to be honest, I did not need any tech to tell me that! :)

iron poisoning
FREE subscriptions for doctors and students... click hereYou have 3 open access pages.
Iron containing preparations are freely available. Many are brightly coloured,
some with a sweet coating. Consequently, iron poisoning is not uncommon in children.
Severe poisoning may result from the ingestion of more than 150 mg/kg. In
small children, a dose of 20 mg/kg of elemental iron may cause illness and 600
mg may be fatal to a toddler weighing less than 10 kg (1).
Rapid necrosis of the gastrointestinal mucosa occurs, resulting in haemorrhage
and fluid/electrolyte loss. The binding capacity of transferrin is finite, and
saturation occurs rapidly as the iron is absorbed; the free serum iron level
Severe poisoning is indicated by serum iron levels above 5 mg/l in a child,
or 8 mg/l in an adult. It may be fatal.
