El Paso's Company E Survivors Remember Rapido River Assaults
Article first published in Vol. 13, 1995.
By Leigh E. Smith, Jr.
The 36th Infantry Division consisted of men from Texas and the surrounding southwestern states. One unit of the 36th was Company E, 2nd Battalion, 141st Infantry Regiment. Comprised of Hispanic-American soldiers from El Paso and the surrounding area, this company alone lost more than half its men in a controversial World War II battle.

Two El Pasoans, Manuel "Manny" Rivera, Jr. and Ricardo Palacios, Jr., were members of Company E when it shipped overseas in April 1943 and were involved in the ill-fated battle.
During the Italian campaign, 5th Army Commander General Mark Clark needed a diversionary attack to prevent the Germans from attacking the main Allied invasion forces landing at Anzio. They planned an assault across the Rapido River in the Cassino Valley in the central part of Italy. The 36th division was one of the primary units involved, and in less than 48 hours, more than 1,700 men from the division were killed.
Rivera, in the weapons platoon of Company E., says, "The unit breakdown for an infantry company in the 1940s was three or four rifle platoons and a weapons platoon armed with .30-caliber light machine guns and 60 millimeter mortars," he says. "I ended up as the weapons platoon sergeant.
Rivera was responsible for attaching his weapons section to a rifle platoon that was going to attack. Palacios was one of the rifle platoon sergeants. "Whenever we needed help from the weapons platoon, we got it," recalls Palacios.
Prior to the actual assault, two reconnaissance patrols tried to determine the Germans' strength. In order to travel light and be as quiet as possible, Rivera said, "We couldn't take anything but a blanket, a shovel and a few cans of C or K rations and our weapons." The patrol leader, another El Pasoan, Gabriel Navarrete, led the patrol across the river. A mortar shell exploded near Rivera and Navarrete, wounding both seriously, as well as several others. "Navarrete and I put the wounded in a boat," recalls Rivera, "and since Navarrete was hit in the shoulder, I said, 'You go in the boat and I'll swim the river.'" Rivera swam back to the American side of the river and told the company commander, Captain John Chapin, who was later killed in the assault, that the patrol had failed.
Rivera went to the hospital and was treated for his wounds. He rejoined the outfit later, just prior to the battle for Rome, and discovered that several of his friends had been captured or killed during the Rapido River assault. Rivera said, "If you didn't get wounded, if you didn't get killed, if you weren't captured, you weren't at the river."
Ricardo Palacios participated in the actual attack, and he recalls what happened: "The night before the assault on January 21, 1944, I went to a meeting with other platoon sergeants and Captain Chapin to hear about the assault, and where we would meet if we were successful. You could tell everyone was pretty uptight after the reconnaissance had failed."
After the unsuccessful crossing attempt, the combat engineers constructed a pontoon bridge to try the crossing again. "The Germans let as many cross as possible," Palacios said, "and then they opened up on us with machine guns, mortars and artillery. The only thing we could do was stay there, dig our foxholes and wait for daylight."
When morning came, those on the German side of the river who were not already dead were captured, including Palacios, who was a POW for 16 months. (See related story.)
After the Rapido River assault, Company E regrouped and received replacements to fill the badly depleted squads. The unit fought in the Cassino area and then was pulled off the front line for a brief rest. It went back into action at Anzio, and Company E and the 36th Division fought on and liberated Rome from the Germans.
After leaving Italy, the division landed in Southern France to take pressure off the Normandy landings. Rivera was once again wounded in France but stayed with the unit until it reached the Rhine river.
When remembering the Rapido river assault, both Rivera and Palacios agree: "All the guys that were there deserve the Silver Star Medal. The heroes are not here. They're over there, the ones that were left behind. There's no such thing as a living hero."

"They were brave men -- Captain Chapin and all the others," Rivera says 50 years later. Rivera was awarded the Silver Star, two Bronze Stars, two Purple Hearts and several other campaign medals. His decorations and pictures of him and Company E hang in his living room.
The recognition of his unit has gone unnoticed for years. A small baseball field on Delta Street, across from the Youth Center, was named for the unit, and is the only reminder that Company E, 141st Infantry Regiment, 36th Infantry Division, composed mostly of local Hispanic boys, served with honor in Europe.
The names of those who fought & died are memories for relatives or fellow soldiers who live in El Paso. Soldiers like Manny Rivera and Ricardo Palacios are living reminders of this brave and proud unit.

As small kids in the primary grades at St Peter's (sic) School in New Brunswick we took recess on the street to the side of the school that had police barricades set up and then taken down every school day, disrupting the traffic in and around the neighborhood. We children had no knowledge of that-we just knew to stay inside the area protected by the white saw horses with black lettering.
It wasn't hard. We were, after all, Catholics, raised to believe in things we couldn't see. If the saw horses kept us safe from cars, who were we to wonder how they did it? There were hundreds of us on a not large street and the turf battles between those in the 'other' grade (I was in 3B and our mortal enemy was 3A) were reasonably pacific but hard-fought nevertheless. Actually they were mostly staring contests that would end after minutes of peering at one another with someone sneeringly suggesting 'why doncha take a pitcher? It'll last longah.' (I don't have a Jersey Kid dialect type font on this keyboard. Who knew?)
Perhaps a photograph might have lasted longer, but the folks who brought us Ektachrome and Kodachrome and Tri-X and Plus-X may not be around much longer. Eastman Kodak, the pride and joy of Rochester, New York, have filed for bankruptcy while vowing to remain in business. I remember coming off the school bus up the driveway on Bloomfield Avenue and checking to see if the mailman had been there with a delivery from those faraway labs that processed all the rolls of slide film Dad used to take.
Years later, I and many others, discovered an alternate use for the metal screw top film containers that every cherry-top in New Brunswick also knew but never enforced otherwise most of the class of '71 through'77 would have been wearing caps and gowns in lock-up. Few things, to me, are more "American" (whatever that means) than Kodak. And underscoring how God has a skewed sense of humor, overshadowed or smoke-screened by the Kodak story, is Boeing's decision to close up shop in Wichita, Kansas, after 80 years. "Them steady jobs, they're going, boys, and they ain't coming back."
This is a Presidential election year-one of the parties is electing the President of South Carolina tomorrow and after the seers read the entrails of whatever animal is slaughtered they'll unearth the significance of what didn't happen, and people who don't know what it means (mostly cable news because their audience never realizes they're smarter than the people in the box) will attempt to explain it to people who don't care (us).
It's important, maybe, but, dammit Janet, we've got football this weekend to see who's going to the Super Bowl in a sport no one else on earth plays, which may be why we still can boast of being the best at it. National priorities and concerns such as the National Defense Authorization Act, Stop Online Piracy Act and the like will bother us another day, if we remember, but not this Saturday and Sunday. Call the turn-down service and leave a wake-up call for after the Super Bowl (but before the NBA play-offs).
Good thing we've got cameras in our phones now. Otherwise, we might not have pictures of the fly-over they do before the kickoff. What was that about the planes?

Ante-post favourite Dawn Approach heads a list of 24 horses for the Guineas
Ante-post favourite Dawn Approach heads a list of 24 horses left in the QIPCO 2000 Guineas at the latest entry stage.
Last Updated: 24/04/13 2:06pm
The Jim Bolger-trained colt, owned by Godolphin, has been top of the betting after going through his two-year-old campaign unbeaten.
His six successes culminated in Group One triumphs in the Vincent O'Brien Stakes at the Curragh and the Dewhurst Stakes at Newmarket.
Godolphin currently have a second string to their bow in outsider Steeler, trained by Mahmood Al Zarooni, who faces a British Horseracing Authority hearing over the use of anabolic steroids. This horse, who was in the care of Mark Johnston last season, is not part of the inquiry.
Champion Irish trainer Aidan O'Brien retains a strong hand in the colts' Classic, with Mars, Cristopher Colombo, George Vancouver and Lines Of Battle, while Bolger has also left in Leitir Mor.
Richard Hannon leads the home defence in the shape of last week's trials winners Toronado, who lifted the Craven, and Greenham scorer Olympic Glory - who is more likely to run in the French Guineas - as well as recent Lingfield Listed victor Van Der Neer.
Marco Botti is willing to give Moohaajim another chance after he was only third to Olympic Glory at Newbury, while there are two French challengers remaining, Penny's Picnic and Style Vendome.
The last Northern-based winner was the Johnston-trained Mister Baileys in 1994 but Richard Fahey aims to put that straight when he sends Garswood back to Newmarket following his win in the Free Handicap.
"He's in great nick and has come out of the race well," said the North Yorkshire handler. "We were hoping he'd do what he did because he'd been working better than any horse we'd ever had at home. The way he travelled through the race, he does that all the time at home.
"It wouldn't be right to say we were shocked with how he won because we see it all the time but we were delighted to get it over with if that makes sense. To see him do it on the track how he does it at home is a relief. We'll see how he gets on in the Guineas now."

The writing prompt from Mama Kat's this week is just too good to pass. What better ways to get ready for the new year than taking a little flash back to see what happened in 2011 on my blog who has been in near comatose moments because juggling a full time job and single motherhood is just not easy.
Let's get started, shall we?
1. January:
Last January was a huge milestone for my boy. He started preschool! I had mixed feelings about this. One part of me is quite sad to let him go into the world – albeit it's just a preschool but he never been to one before so it's a huge steps for all of us. One part of me is excited for him to see him learning new things and making friends.
2. February:
Read above, and see why my blog was in comatose? I didn't post a single darn thing for the entire month.
3. March:
By the end of March my brothers and my son went to Bangkok to cash in on that Photo Contest winning prize that I won back in late 2010. It was one of the best vacations I ever had. Not only because we went there for free but from being treated like a star at The Holiday Inn Bangkok. It was purely one vacay I will never forget.
4. April:
After my marriage ended and seeing how so many marriages especially ones that involves a Western man fell to pieces while they are living and working in Indonesia, I just can't help but pouring my thoughts into the 'Why's and I love the feedbacks I'm getting from friends who is in a mix marriage and others who had went through divorce.
5. May:
With my crazy work load back then, I only managed to pushed one post out and it was a V-log. Yes, my first ever video blog.
6. June:
This was a hard month for all of my family. We lost my mother's sister to breast cancer then followed by the passing of my Grandmother just three days later.
7. July:
My favorite post has to be the one where I wrote about the hardship and joy of flying solo as a single mom.
8. August:
Being a single mom is not easy and sometimes people just need to be reminded of what not to ask us single moms. This post might be very handy for Indonesian people who can be pretty nosy.
9. September:
Hitting the publish button was so hard for this one post. Waves of pain swept over me as I typed how I faced my final curtains but the fear of writing about something so very personal was quickly changed into relief – as if I am letting go of my anger. The outpouring supports I got truly lift up my spirit so thank you my dearest friends who read and commented. This post was picked by Fadra from All Things Fadra for her Top 20 Blogmas Posts to Make You Feel. Thanks Fadra!
I cheated, I have to favorite post this month, it was actually from Mama Kat's writing prompts: Where I'm From.
10. October:
After one reader's comment on my post about misconceptions about secretaries , I had some doubtful moments about my writing and asked how to handle criticism. Blogging in a language that is not my native language has been more comfortable for me but it is a learning process. If I were to read my ancient diaries written in English, I'm sure I would cringe from the spelling mistakes and grammatical errors.
11. November:
My post to celebrate The World Moms Blog first anniversary was a topic that is very near and dear to my heart. The same reasons why I came up with my tagline Scoops From Two Cultures, One Heart.
12. December:
My son turned 5 years old on December 7, 2011. I reflect back on what a joy having a son really is about.

"All marriages are sacred, but not all are safe."
– Rob Jackson
"There's a phrase, "the elephant in the living room," which purports to describe what it's like to live with a drug addict, an alcoholic, an abuser. People outside such relationships will sometimes ask,
"How could you let such a business go on for so many years? Didn't you see the elephant in the living room?" And it's so hard for anyone living in a more normal situation to understand the answer that comes closest to the truth; "I'm sorry, but it was there when I moved in. I didn't know it was an elephant; I thought it was part of the furniture." There comes an aha-moment for some folks – the lucky ones – when they suddenly recognize the difference."
– Stephen King
"I've heard that people stand in bad situations because a relationship like that gets turned up by degrees. It is said that a frog will jump out of a pot of boiling water. Place him in a pot and turn it up a little at a time, and he will stay until he is boiled to death. Us frogs understand this."
– Deb Caletti, Stay
"They don't like the thought of someone else making demands on the person whom they see as belonging entirely to them."
– Jodi Picoult, Picture Perfect
"Yes, indeed, I am the stuff, the prize property, the recaptured trophy he will put up on the mantlepiece, in a rage every time I move a millimeter or look less polished, less tarted up than he thinks I should look. In a rage, every time I disappoint him. Which will happen every day."
– Kaimana Wolff, La Chiripa
"You have the right to your own ideas and opinions, to make your own decisions, and to have things go your way at times. Stand up for those rights."
– Beverly Engel
"Do not allow him—the abuser—to tell you who you are or take the blame for his actions."
– Source Unknown
"It's not fair. It's not fair that he lets his rage take over, that he lets it rule him. I don't know why he has to let it rule him. I don't know why he has to be two people.
I don't know why he gets to be two people, and I only get to be me, the one who is here to take what he has to give, and who is here to pick up the pieces afterward."
– Amanda Grace, But I Love Him
"You can have a pet zebra and put that zebra into a small cage every day and tell the zebra that you love it, but no matter how you and the zebra love each other, the fact remains, that the zebra should be let out of that cage and should belong to someone who can treat it better, the way it should be treated, someone who can make it happy."
– Joy Bell C.
"…those serpents! There's no pleasing them!"
– Lewis Carroll
"When you are with someone who is never pleased, it is time to stop trying to please him.
– Source Unknown
"Often things are as bad as they seem."
– Sheldon Kopp
"If someone loves you, it should feel like they love you."
– Source Unknown
"The next time the abuser tells you that the reason he is abusive towards you is something you have done, remind yourself that no one is ever responsible for another person's actions. The next time the abuser tells you that he wouldn't get so angry with you of you would just try harder, remind yourself of how hard you have been trying and how little effect your efforts have had on his actions. And most important, the next time you are lying in bed crying over something the abuser has said or done, remind yourself of who you were before you met him."
– Source Unknown
"Many survivors insist they're not courageous: 'If I were courageous I would have stopped the abuse.' 'If I were courageous, I wouldn't be scared'…Most of us have it mixed up. You don't start with courage and then face fear. You become courageous because you face your fear."
The Courage to Heal Workbook by Laura Davis"
– Laura Davis
"She was in a terrible marriage and she couldn't talk to anyone. He used to hit her, and in the beginning she told him that if it ever happened again, she would leave him.
He swore that it wouldn't and she believed him. But it only got worse after that, like when his dinner was cold, or when she mentioned that she'd visited with one of the neighbors who was walking by with his dog. She just chatted with him, but that night, her husband threw her into a mirror."
– Nicholas Sparks, Safe Haven
"…when a wife wouldn't testify, little punishment was meted out. Alex came to understand that only those who pressed charges ever became truly free, because the life they were leading was a prison, even if most of them wouldn't admit it."
– Nicholas Sparks, Safe Haven
"The love of a brother for a sister, especially a spiritual sister, is not just some official emotion,
"I love you." Real love, real manhood says, "No one is going to hurt this woman! Especially me."
– Ron Hutchcraft
"When you allow yourself to be dominated by someone else, you begin to lose respect for yourself.
You become silently enraged, both at the person who is dominating you and at yourself for allowing the domination. Someone else is in control of your life, just as assuredly as if you were a slave obeying orders. Stop doing this to yourself!
– Source Unknown
"In violence we forget who we are."
– Mary McCarthy
"I will not allow anyone—especially the abuser—to tell me who I am!"
– Source Unknown
"Reflect on how much pain you've suffered, and remember your abuser's broken promises. Consider the fear you feel and how your children are being affected. Gather your courage to take action. Realize that God offers you real hope for a life free of abuse. Take stock of trustworthy people with whom you may safely share your story. Start by telling one person as soon as you can. Then reach out to others so you're not relying on just one person to meet all your needs."
– Whitney Hopler
"You've given him the benefit of the doubt long enough.
Now it's time to give yourself the benefit of the truth."
– Source Unknown
"As painful as it is to admit that we are being abused, it is even more painful to come to the conclusion that the person we love is someone we cannot afford to be around."
– Source Unknown
"Leaving an abusive partner is a very difficult thing to do. It frequently feels like you are failing, or destroying your family, or not trying to work things out, or not giving your partner "a second chance."
It hurts, and it's scary."
– Blaine Nelson
"Real courage owns up to the fact that we face a terrifying task, admitting that we are appropriately frightened, identifying sources of help and strength outside and within ourselves, and then going ahead and doing what needs to be done."
– Dr. Alla Renne Bozarth

11/17/2014 ADDENDUM: CBS has started a 24/7 Digital News Network at http://cbsn.cbsnews.com/
It's been a bold experiment, so am sharing results after 6 months without cable TV.
A few prelims. I might not have considered cutting the cord elsewhere. In downtown Atlanta, with only an indoor digital antenna, receive all the networks and several flavors of PBS. Also their sister stations, with odds-and-odds like "Bounce" and "Antenna TV," running old movies and sitcoms. I haven't at all missed the movie tiers, what I believed might be sacrificed, nor a DVR, realizing I never watched most of what was recorded anyway.
The networks are stunning in raw HD, significantly cleaner than through a box. I'm disturbed visiting anyone using a converter without proper cables. Equally upsetting is when the necessary equipment is in place, then someone chooses the lower standard definition channel range.
Anyway! The unforeseen advantage has been content discovered streaming. Network favorites like "Extant" are available anytime with fewer commercials, as are "The Daily Show" and "Colbert Report". I also appreciate "Free Speech TV" and "C-Span". Any sports I cared about, Roland Garros and Wimbledon, required only a modicum of tech savvy to configure Tor for a European IP address. There's no shortage of content.
Although there is community Wi-Fi, for reliable streaming am still beholden to Comcast. Add Netflix and the monthly "entertainment bill" isn't quite negligible. There are cheaper internet tiers, but am not brave enough to test them. Yet it was not only possible but preferable living without an extra remote control. Google is slowly rolling out fiber, so imagine a future where access is fast and affordable enough to kiss cable providers goodbye, with a "screw you, too."

Few months ago, the average number of the visitors to Hubpages was 50 Millions per month. Now it is about 35 Millions per month. My page views were 500-600 per day before few months, now the number is about 100. How and why this happened?
Unsure really. Could be like the economy, it goes up and then it goes down.
Granted, the holidays have been ramping up across the US and other countries. After New Years, people may start flocking the net again.
Unsure about the rest of the world, though.
Am I the only one who's seeing a huge decrease in traffic during this holiday season for the last 2 days or so?
No Melissa, you are not. I think almost everyone I know, including me, has had the same.
You are not alone. I've seen a huge drop myself. I really think it's because of the holidays - but we shall see.
My daily views have dropped 75% over the past 2-3 days. Today was one of my better days since I finally cracked 100 again!
Every Christmas, traffic goes way down.
Thank goodness for that - it is evidence that lots of people still have a life offline.
Merry Christmas, all!
Two reasons for that, first Google has already changed search algo which effects the search queries result and second the Christmas holidays..

Can you tell us what type of work you do? That will help in giving pointers. As for medications. Prednisone, even though it is not good to be on for a long period of time has really helped me. it is also pretty cheap. Do you have insurance? Some medications you might want to ask about to relieve pain and stiffness wouldd be: Celebrex, Vioxx, Arthrotec, methotrexate or gold shots, and there is new medicine out that my doctor is going to start me on which is called REMICADE. Remicade will probably not be an option because it is for people who haven't responded well to all the other meds out there. these are just some meds you might want to ask about. Hope this helps. Let us know.

Unanswered: Dataflex
Simplied explaination ... I am converting 2 dataflex files into an access database. I open a new access db, I've created an odbc data source (with a dataflex driver) to the 2 files ..... and then import those to files into 2 tables.
Problem ....
Table 'B' is linked to table 'A'. In table 'B' there is a field that represents the record number of table 'A' that it is linked to. It says "14366". Yet, when I look in table 'A', the ordinal position of that record is "11684". I've open "file" 'A' in a hex editor and the record is indeed in the 11684th position. I don't know how to resolve these 2 records together in access.
BTW, I know almost nothing about dataflex.
Could it be that the recordnumber in table 'B' represents a different kind of indexing on table 'A'? How would I resolve that if that is what it is?
Anyways, thanks for any kind of help in advance.

"I think he's coming to, dudes!" Skidd said, excited as he leaned over the bed.
"You think?" Helga blabbered.
Ratchet's eyes were only half open, and he was already being spat on (accidentally) by Helga. He sat up quickly.
"Whoa! Easy, Ratchet!" Al gently shoved Skidd aside so he could grab the lombax's shoulder. "You took quite a fall."
"I'm fine," Ratchet calmly said as he pulled the wires from his arm. "Seriously this time."
He was back in the infirmary, sitting on the bed he was in earlier, this time, unrestrained. Again, all the wounds he received were healed by Nanotech. Everyone else was present too.
"Ratchet, it is good to see you awake," Clank greeted pleasantly from the stool he stood on.
"We have a lot of explaining to do," Qwark said with a roll of his eyes.
"Like, where the heck do we begin, man?" Skidd couldn't help but smile as he palmed his forehead/visor.
"I'll start," Sasha said.
"Finally," Qwark said loudly. "I've been working my butt for the past--"
Sasha was glaring at him again.
"….," he 'zipped his mouth shut' and sat on another bed.
"There was a probe inside you that took over your nervous system," Sasha announced, her hands behind her back professionally. "This caused you to see, hear, and feel Nefarious when he wasn't even there."
"That explains a few things," Ratchet rubbed his head. "And the annoying headache."
"Another side-effect was your frustrated behaviour and useless determination."
Qwark scoffed, "Pffft. More like ten times a time of the m--"
"It was used against enemies during war years ago," Al said. "It only became illegal two Kerwan decades ago."
"Where is this…..'probe'?" Ratchet asked.
"Right here," Al held out a plastic container. "It's microscopic, but can't get through this baby. I have a lot of deprogramming to do before I send it to one of the galaxy's suns."
"But how did that thing get inside me?" Ratchet questioner.
"There are many ways," this time Clank spoke. "Injections through needles--"
"Dude! Enough with the needles!"
"Sorry, Skidd. It can also enter your body, through dust… from another victim--it can travel on its own once the victim has died--… food…drink…laser beams--"
"That's it!" Ratchet interrupted. "I remember!"
"Of course….," Al also recalled. "The rangers said they saw you getting zapped by a--"
"--laser beam from the mechs," Ratchet finished. "It was yellow in colour, and everything started right after that."
"What about the tyhrranoids?" Helga demanded.
"Yeah," Qwark nodded. "What about those?"
"You got me there, man," Skidd agreed.
"I must say I am also ignorant," Clank droned.
Skrunch shrugged, "Hwa-ha."
Al and Sasha knew.
"When you were unconscious, I received a call from Commissioner David," Sasha explained. "He and his men found a bunker on Tyhrranosis. There, they discovered a holographic device that showed a recording of Dr. Nefarious. It said that a plan had been conducted, and certain tyhrranoids were sent to their designated areas. There was also a particular time at which attacks were to begin."
"Specifically, five mechs were sent here," Al continued for her. "Examination on the parts you left behind after dealing with them showed traces of lasers that had probes. Anything zapped would either become infected or die."
"The thing's light-sensitive," Sasha moved on. "It cannot cause anything to happen in the presence of light."
"Explaining why you were all insane when it was dark," Qwark said.
"So….," Ratchet had all the information he needed, "…all that yelling…and the pain…..and the intolerance and so on…..was for nothing?" he looked apologetic. "Guy's I'm so sor--"
"No need to say 'sorry'," Qwark stopped him with a raised hand. "You can just do my laundry for the next ten months."
"……," everyone glared at him.
"Fine," Qwark stood up with Skrunch on his shoulder, "I'll go."
He left the room quietly.
"The effects should be gone now," Al stated.
Ratchet uncovered himself and swung his legs over the side of the bed. "Let's check," he said as he approached the light switch. The room went dark for a moment before Ratchet switched the lights back on. He sighed, "I've been fighting Nefarious for so long…. He's unlike any other villain I've ever faced. Even if he's Qwark's main villain, it sometimes feels like I'm the only one looking for him. Like I'm all alone.
"Ratchet, you are never alone," Clank jumped down from the stool.
"And if Nefarious does ever show up," Al mentioned, "we'll be ready."
"Thanks," the lombax smile happily for the first time in hours.
"Why don't you take a breather, bro?" Skidd suggested.
"That sounds like a good idea," he was about to leave, when--
"Hmmm?" Sasha had called him.
"…..," she smirked smugly. "And we'll talk about your little smoking habit in the morning."
Ratchet blushed, "Uh…..yeah." He exited the room.
Helga yawned noisily.
"I agree," Skidd looked ready to collapse. "I'm so tired, I can barely--" FWUMP! He fell on a bed, snoring.
"I think we could all use some sleep," Sasha said.
"I agree. My systems tell me that I require charging," Clank trotted towards the door. "I bid you all a good night."
"Me too!" Helga had Skidd over her shoulder. They were gone.
Sasha was about to leave. She stopped by the doorframe, "Coming, Al?"
He didn't answer. He was looking at the container.
"Al? Something wrong?"
"Tyhrranoids aren't good with remote controls, are they?" Al asked without looking at her.
"No. Heck, I don't even think that Dr. Nefarious managed to teach them that."
"……I see."
"Al?" she cocked an eyebrow. "What's up?"
He turned to face her with a grief expression on his face, "The probe didn't trigger itself. Somebody triggered it…. From outside the Phoenix."
Appendix table of contents
Similarities and Differences
Commissioner David
I got the idea for this fanfic when I saw Haunted, an episode of Teen Titans about Robin's obsession with Slade and whatnot. I did the similar thing in this story, but I also did my best to change it a little, to prevent it from looking like some Ratchet and Clank parody of Teen Titans.
Those changes are:
Extra scenes; the long conversation Sasha had with the others via transmission, the walk though the forest before the ambush, the dramatic scene, and so on.
Some reviewers--and when I say 'some', I mean almost all of them--told me about this similarity and that I was copying. True. I was only irritated by the fact that they don't read each other's reviews; I got the same comment more than once.
Haunted is one of my favourite episodes of Teen Titans. It's good to take a break from all the kid stuff. The episode X is similar. I actually had this other idea to that one as well. Someone would be stealing expensive stuff while wearing Angel's old costume, and all that jazz. I scrapped it though, knowing that once is more than enough.
So…some authors who never saw the episode will think that I'm not the least bit creative? Maybe they will; maybe they won't. I did my best to express what was going on here, but the opinions are all up to them. I just enjoyed writing this, is all.
Similarities and Differences
The story starts with Ratchet looking at monitors, which display images of certain parts of the galaxy. The same for Robin, only he's looking at three while Ratchet is looking at seven. Al/Cyborg comes in and tells him to stop and that Nefarious/Slade is gone and to stop obsessing. Then, things change. The conversation Ratchet and Al share is much longer than the one Robin and Cyborg have. Teen Titans has to respect the half-hour while I could make it as long as I want. An alarm is triggered. The Titans are there immediately, while I gave a forty-second conversation.
The probe had to get inside our hero somehow, right? Right! Robin got it from the dust from Slade's old mask. Cyborg said it was 'some kind of neural agent'. Ratchet got it by laser when a group of tyhrranoid mechs invaded the Phoenix and zapped him.
Everyone noticed around Chapter 5. However, Ratchet had to get away from the group, right? So, I had a tyhrranoid hit him and send him flying over a hill, just like Robin during a battle with Cinderblock. Ratchet is knocked unconscious while the Boy Wonder is as sharp as ever.
Robin chases Slade, and jumps from tree to tree. More or less like Ratchet and Nefarious, save the Swingshot. Ratchet and Nefarious spoke a lot during battle, Slade didn't utter a word, while Robin just said 'Rrrgh!". Three devices of destruction are announced with a time limit before activation. The scene ends with Qwark/Beast Boy interrupting.
Basically, Qwark and Beast Boy are both irritated by the fact that Ratchet and Robin ditched the battle.
"Great. Now, I have a cold."-Beast Boy
Qwark didn't catch a cold. I'm surprised Ratchet didn't either. After all, he was running around in the rain while half naked.
"We're going after Nefarious."-Ratchet
Just like Robin. XD
Sending everyone away except for one (Starfire/Clank) was another copy. Ratchet and Robin are both annoyed, they're both, aggressive, and they both could use an ice-cream. Clank is sent away while Starfire watches Robin fight an invisible dude. I decided to have Ratchet alone, cuz, as said earlier, I didn't want EVERYTHING to be the same. Nefarious sneers into Ratchet's face, giving him a warning, while Slade runs away. Which one's more of a man? Neither. Slade ran away, and Nefarious has no genitals. XD
"You are never alone."-Slade
Ooooooh! Scaaaaaaaaaaryyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!
Chapter 7 was a little similar to the scene in the City. The four Titans meet and discus the absurdity of the generators Slade has placed around the city. They know where to find him, and go there. Sasha chats with the group MSN style.
Robin doesn't smoke. Ratchet does.
In Chapter 8 there's a fight at the Leviathan. This is similar to Robin and Slade's fight at the place with the gears and crap (OMG!). Robin's butt is kicked, as is Ratchet's. The difference here is a new device Nefarious has that allows him to take the form of anything he chooses.
"but nefaroius nevar saw cheynbleid and d thug leader ur stupid"-Reviewer with mental constipation
Quite true. This might have suggested that Nefarious could read minds. No, the probe in Ratchet's head just projected the things he remembered.
Just like Teen Titans, the fight stopped when Al, Clank, Qwark, Skidd, and some rangers came along to see him playing charades.
"What I saw was you playing a game of charades at a stupid time in a carcase of a ship!"-Captain Qwark
Wow, that was smart.
Unlike Teen Titans, Nefarious is about to shoot Al and slit Qwark's throat. No one except Ratchet sees this, and he's even more pissed about it.
Another similarity here is Ratchet getting zapped by his best friend. Same for Robin.
Both wake up in a medical bed. Ratchet is stripped of all his clothes except for his trousers. Robin is fully clothed. Robin overhears Starfire and Cyborg talking outside. Ratchet is visited by Sasha, then Nefarious. Both scenes end with sharp, medical tools and the main character missing. The scene I wrote is long and dramatic, while Teen Titans had a super short one.
Raven sees what Robin sees thanks to her telekinetic powers. Al sees what Ratchet sees thanks to a microscopic camera he injected into him. Raven and Al jump back from Slade's and Nefarious' punch.
RavenxAl 4ever lolololololololololol!
As usual, I made a longer scene with Nefarious screwing around with Ratchet's emotions by transforming into his friends (and Qwark and Helga).
"I am the thing that keeps you up at night. The evil that haunts every dark corner of your mind."-Slade
"I'm the thing that keeps you up at night, the nefarious evil that haunts every dark corner of your mind."-Nefarious
These are almost the same.
Ratchet discovers that Nefarious isn't really there after all. He switches a reading lamp on--which would have been cooler if we saw one in the first chapter--gets rid of the screensavers, activates the lights of the beds, switches on the holo-vid, and hits the main switch to the lights. Nefarious burrs out of existence and the problem is almost solved. Robin just hits a frickin' switch.
"Lights out, Slade."-Robin
"Lights out, Nefarious."-Ratchet
RobinxRatchet 4ever lololololololololololololololol!
And how could we leave the final explanation out? I won't bother with this junk at all, other than:
"The probe didn't trigger itself. Somebody triggered it, from outside the Tower."-Cyborg
"The probe didn't trigger itself. Somebody triggered it….from outside the Phoenix."-Al
CyborgxRavenxAl triangle 4ever lolololololololololololololololol!
People had problems with this, so I minimised it to a few simple POW!s, CLANK!s and WHAM!s. I will, however, feature it in other fanfics. I only cut down in this one, because I was asked to. It might happen again some other time.
Commissioner David
Was it a good idea to have this guy's name mentioned? Probably not. This guy's the robotic Commissioner of the Galactic Police Force. Ratchet's not the only symbol of law, y'know. David also has a Lieutenant who's kinda nervous around him. These two had a cameo appearance at the end of It runs in the family, and will have bigger roles in the sequel.
I didn't actually include Commissioner David was because:
1. Despite his rank, he swears a lot. Although I have no problem with swearing in fanfiction, I felt that this fanfic should be devoid of swearing. It was only rated T, because of the blood in Chapter Two, which I'm not very proud of.
2. I wanted this fanfic to include Insomniac Characters only. No OCs and certainly no crossovers.
Commissioner David and the Lieutenant will feature in any Ratchet and Clank fanfics I choose.
Mr. D 91 smiled, "Whoo! Finally done." He clicked the mouse and the last chapter to a story was uploaded. "Now…," he began with his fingers on the keyboard, "…time to write something e--"
He sighed, "Great." He got off his swivel chair and went to the door.
Two officers stood, waiting.
"Can I help you?" Mr. D 91 asked, wondering why two officers were at his door.
"We're looking for a…," one officer began. He looked at a piece of paper from his pocket, "'Mr. D 91'."
"Oh," he smiled slightly, "you're talkin' to 'im."
"I'm Officer Jameson," he showed his badge. "And this is my partner Officer Smith," he gestured at the silent cop, who also showed his badge.
"Wazzup?" Mr. D 91 asked.
"We've received word that you're writing a fanfic called 'Return?' from the Commissioner's sources," Jameson explained. "Says it's based on an episode of Teen Titans. The episode called 'Haunted'. Is that right?"
"Yup," Mr. D 91 smiled proudly. "Just finished it today."
"I think you had better come with us."
"Say what?"
"You're in violation of Chapter Eighty-eight, Subsection L….."
Mr. D 91 looked at Officer Smith on confusion.
The silent policeman simply shrugged.
"….Paragraph Fourteen, Line Seven: Copying an episode without permission and not admitting it."
"But I wrote it down in the Appendix!" Mr. D 91 defended.
"You'll have plenty of time to explain yourself down at the station," Jameson droned.
"Now way, man! I ain't goin' to the station!"
Jameson sighed in a bored fashion, "Resisting arrest. Zap 'im, Smith."
Smith pulled out a taser from his pocket.
Mr. D 91's eyes widened, "NO! WAIT--!"
"Ugh!" Mr. D 91 fell to the ground, his blackened body smoking.
"Help me carry him to the car, Smith."
Smith nodded and bent over to help his partner.
Well, that's it then. I'm done with this. It was fun writing, but I was losing interest in it as I wrote the last chapter. Good thing it was at the end.
Stay tuned for more stories by me.
-Mr. D 91

If you are confused as to what type of car you are going to choose, then the best choice that you can make is to choose small SUVs. This is because these types of cars are the ones that are most comfortable and are also very fuel efficient. Small SUVs are really very good in having the best gas mileage. Before buying one, it is recommended for you to check some small SUV reviews in the internet to give you more knowledge on these types of vehicles.
The size of a small SUV is not that big, unlike most regular SUVs. However, you should still have a keen eye when choosing a small SUV. Check out the size of the engine. Is it a 2 liter engine or a 3 liter engine? The bigger the engine's size, the more gas inefficient it becomes.
Digging Deeper
You should also check out the features of the small SUV that you want to buy. Know its safety features, as well as the other interior features, such as its tracking system, entertainment media system, as well as the materials of which the seats, the dashboard, and the flooring and matting are made of. It is in these little specs that you can see how durable and well made the small SUV of your choosing really is.
Final Thoughts
To sum it all up, small SUVs are really the perfect type of car if you are one of the people who want to experience the comfort and performance of an SUV, without having to sacrifice the sporty look and gas efficiency of the car. Small SUVs are indeed the perfect car of choice for the small family. Get your own small SUV now.

Review: Good - but a bit slow.
Order took over two weeks to receive. A bit slow (even allowing for international delivery), though Yourspares were very quick and courteous in responding to my query to them over the delivery time. So - I would rate them as good overall.

|This observational study examined the changes during inpatient cognitive-behavioral treatment (CBT) of adolescents with chronic anxious-depressive school absenteeism with or without comorbid disruptive symptoms. 147 adolescents (aged 12–18 years) with a specific phobia or other anxiety disorder or a depressive episode or a mixed disorder of conduct and emotions and who had completely ceased to attend school or showed irregular school attendance underwent an inpatient cognitive-behavioral treatment. A further 16 patients aborted the treatment during the first day and were not included in the analyses. The treatment was manual guided and also included parents. Assessments were made pre-inpatient treatment, immediately post-inpatient treatment and at 2-month follow-up. School attendance was the primary outcome variable and secondary outcomes were composite scores of a range of adolescent- and parent-rated mental health problems. Overall, results show a considerable decline of school absenteeism and mental health problems during treatment and subsequent follow-up. Continuous school attendance was achieved by 87.1% of the sample at the end of inpatient treatment and by 82.3% at 2-month follow-up. Comorbid symptoms of anxiety, depression, disruptive and insufficient learning behavior were significantly reduced from pre to follow-up, with effect sizes for the composite scores ranging from 0.44 to 1.15 (p < 0.001). This large observational study in adolescents with school absenteeism and a mixture of emotional and disruptive symptoms is the first to show the benefits of inpatient therapy that included cognitive-behavioral therapy and access to a special school with expertise on teaching children and adolescents with psychiatric disorders. The results must be interpreted conservatively because of the lack of a control condition.

Unanswered: virtual sql server name with underscore "_"
i am in a process of switching from a single sql server to a clustered sql setup. I wish to make my virtual sql cluster name the same as my current server name which has an underscore "_" in it. This is so I don't have to mess with the client configurations. The problem is that I can't seem to use an "_" in the virtual sql server name.
I have MSCS installed. In the process of installing sql2k with a virtual sql server name of sql2k_cluster, the installer doesn't allow me to use "_" in the name. It will work fine if I use sql2kcluster. It will take "_" if choose local server name since my local server name has an "_" in it like Server_nt01.
Since then I have tried giving it a virtual sql server name w/out any "_" in it and then create an alias using the client network utilities. Is there a way around this?
update: has anyone ran into this?? Is this a bug?

Into a place of darkness
He was born to live alone
He's got one big desire
One day he'd get the crown
Hey, Devil come on help me now
Be the one to pull my strings
Let me be your slave to serve you
To let me be the king
Just give me a sign
Take on my mind and let me stay blind
A victim of life too weak to be king
Out of control!
My life is a chamber of tears, fear and hate
Out of control!
Help me to gain the crown, here is my fate
Wherever I may roam
There will be hate and pain
Eye for eye, tooth for tooth
Respect is what I gain
I look up to Mr Crowley.
Evil powers now unite!
I will be your darkest nightmare
My life is a fatal fight
Listen up my friend you just cry for a hand
But you only pretend that you're bad
We'll take on my mind...

Out of control!
Help me to gain the crown...

How to Arrange a New TV Aerial in London
If you are experiencing problems with your current TV aerial, what do you do? There are hundreds of aerial London companies offering their services and many claim to be the best at what they do, but how can you be sure? The easiest way to check out a company is by looking at their website. Take a look at the areas they cover, their accreditation, and the services they have on offer. The more services offered the better as it means they can assist with a wide range of problems and installations.
It's important that you get the right TV aerial to suit your needs. If you're simply after watching Freeview channels and nothing else, then a standard digital aerial is going to serve you well. Those with an analogue aerial can choose to have this replaced with a digital aerial so they can receive the best signal and with the digital switchover this makes perfect sense anyway.
For those looking for more channels, it's Sky that will probable provide the best service although there are other options available. If you already have a Sky dish then this will save you a lot of money and your aerial London company will simply offer you their installation and setup services. You can choose from hundreds of different channels including premium sports and movie channels to name a few.
It's also important to understand how much your aerial can actually do. In some areas, the geographical location and the lay of the land can affect how well you pick up a TV signal. In some cases it makes sense for houses to opt for Sky over a new aerial installation especially if signal quality is poor. The good news is that your aerial London company can give you lots of advice on how and where your aerial should be installed and which particular model is going to be most suited to your needs.
The signal you can receive in London will depend on your location and the quality of your equipment. A good aerial London company can determine what is going to work best for you and will get to work on providing you with a cost effective quote and arranging installation of your equipment at your convenience. If you love TV and you love the new technology that is being released including HD and 3D TV then you may as well ensure that you have the right receiving equipment in place.
