October 22nd, 2013 | Carriers Historical | Posted by Sam Fellman
The Navy unloaded its first supercarrier Tuesday for 1 cent.
Texas shipbreakers earned a penny from the Navy to dismantle and recycle the remaining hulk that was formerly the aircraft carrier Forrestal, a ship that sailed to wars and crises over 38 years and which suffered one of the Navy's worst tragedies: a 1967 fire that killed 134 sailors.
Despite its service over 21 deployments, the ship's legacy is forever tied to the flight deck conflagration that raged for hours after a rocket mounted under wing accidentally fired, slamming into another jet and unleashing a fuel blaze that cooked off bombs. The flames and explosions killed many of the ship's best firefighters, who had rushed into action. One aviator, then-Lt. Cmdr. John McCain, escaped by sliding down the nose of his A-4 Skyhawk. Because of reflashes, it took 16 hours to declare the fire out.
Named for James Forrestal, former Navy secretary and the first secretary of defense, Forrestal has been part of the Navy's lexicon ever since. The incident showed the danger of fighting a fuel fire with seawater, as some crew members did, leading the Navy to develop wash-down sprayers for flattops. And it showcased the importance of using foam to extinguish fuel blazes.
Footage from the blaze is still shown to recruits to convey the dangers of shipboard fires.
Forrestal was decommissioned in 1993. It called Newport, R.I., home until 2010, when it was moved to its current Philadelphia location. The ship scrapers, All Star Metals, will tow the 1,067-foot long Forrestal to their recycling facility in Brownsville, Texas, Naval Sea Systems said in a Tuesday news release.
Two other conventionally-powered carriers, ex-Saratoga and ex-Constellation, are also up for scrapping.
Do you have stories from aboard the Forrestal? Leave them in our comments section below, or send them to us at firstname.lastname@example.com.
(Correction: A previous version of this article misstated the transaction between the Navy and All Star Metals. The Navy paid All Star Metals 1 cent to scrap the ex-Forrestal.)

I was at D&S pier 31 when she came in with a hole in her flight deck you could drive a bus through, That was 1967 or 68, that part I don"t remember. The whole I do remember. Bomb went off on the deck I think, bunch of guys died. I was stationed on the USS Sierra AD 18 at the time.
It is shameful that the U.S. Navy sold the Forrestal for one cent to the scrap heap when the Forrestal Association tried to buy it fpr a museum and could only raise $2 million of the $4 million they wanted a few years ago. This is a piece of history being scrapped for cash.
I was assigned to VF-11 ( world famous Red Rippers) and came aboard in July 1975 at Bari, Italy. Spent the next four years aboard the old gal, have a lot if good memories and tons of photos I have shared only with my family.
I agree with Mark Piggott. With everything the government just went through the last couple of weeks due to the shut down, they are going to sell the ship for a penny. The Navy would be better off to break the ship down and sell piece by piece, OR BETTER YET SELL HER TO THE VETERANS THAT WILL TAKE CARE OF HER. But then again the second part makes to much sense, lets build the deficit and give away things that could bring in money.
Spent 9 months in the Med with her in 72/73. We were late relieving the Independence due to an 03 level fire that destroyed the CIC. 6 weeks later we left Norfolk. I was with VMFA-513 at the time, first West Coast Marine squadron to go on a Med Cruise. Good time that I remember well.
I totally agree with Mark and Wayne. What is wrong with this government? It really upsets me as a taxpayer.
It's very likely the Forrestal is in horrible shape right now. For the government to hang onto it any longer is likely costing more money than a potential sale could bring in.
Couple with that the fact it would likely cost millions in time and man-hours to restore it to shape enough as a museum, it makes sense why they would offload it for one cent. It's costing them more to keep it around.
I'm sure every ship has a place in the heart of those that sailed in them , but it is strange that we can't seem to hold onto those that merit special attention. I cringe everytime I think of the scrapping of Enterprise in 1959-60. Now we're letting the "FID" go to the breakers for a penny. From a historical perspective she is the progenitor of our modern carrier fleet. I hear there is talk of preserving the Kennedy. The "FID" is more historically significant then the Kennedy. If as a nation we can only afford to save one "Supercarrier" then logic would favor the "FID". Of course we are dealing with that dysfunctional abomination we call the U.S. Government. why on earth would they ever do anything that made sense? I think as a percentage of their GDP the Brits do a better job at preserving the heritage of their Navy than we do. Hard to fathom.
My God I dont know what to say. Sad……………disgraceful…………….sickening. I may have been Airwing (VA-105), but the FID was MY SHIP………..MY FIRST SHIP……….AND I AM AND FOREVER WILL BE DAMN PROUD TO CALL MYSELF A FID SAILOR. I made the 88 MED/IO/NATO (108 days at sea straight before we hit our first liberty port in Naples Italy and we only had 15 days of liberty all deployment). I want to cry, I really do. Grown man or not………….its just such a disgrace with her history to let her go like this. For a G.D. Penny????????? I wish there were something we could do. Does anyone think we can at least try and get a piece of her hull for keepsake?
I was on JFK 1993- 1996. We took the JFK to Philly for a 2 year major overhaul, the Forrestal was moth balled in Philly at this time. My shop on the JFK had to CANNIBALIZE valves and parts off the Forrestal. We went aboard the Forrestal and traced the firemain from the 2nd deck, weapons mags, pump rooms and main spaces all of the valves were brand new " We could not believe how new everything looked. The boilers and everything in the main spaces were brand new. We were told when we got back to the JFK ,the Forrestal went through a 4 year major overhaul then they DECOM it right after the overhaul. " Can you believe that. The Forrestal was in awesome shape much better than the Kennedy was at this time. Back then sailors did a lot of the heavy work now its all contracted. After Forrestal they took the 4 year overhaul down to a 2 year overhaul. The crew on the JFK worked there ass off in Philly those years back. Sad to here there going to scrap a great ship.
Given this administration's disdain for anything military, getting rid of Pentagon brass that will not embrace their socialistic and Progressive policies, this sale for a penney is exactly what I would expect of them.
I was on the flight deck of Forrestal on July 29, 1967 when the fire broke out. My squadron, VA-106 lost 8 out of the 134 men that died as a result of the fire. It saddens me to know the she is going to be scrapped. From a financial stand point, it may make sense to scrap her but from an emotional stand point to those that served on her; it is a tough pill to swallow. I also made a Med-Cruise on the Saratoga in 1966 and I guess she will be gone also. There is not a day that goes by that I don't think about my time on Forrestal CVA 59 and my shipmates that died.
I am proud to have served 5 years aboard Forrestal, and ashamed of the fact that nobody could turn the first supercarrier, and one with so much rich history, into a museum for generations to come, to be able to see first hand what this great ship actually meant.

Great friends, great times, bad time.. This Ship had made history her Keel was first laid.. and had a distinguished Career. The USS Forrestal (FID) will always be remembered by 'it's" Crew ….!
Every ship that decoms and eventually gets scrapped carries with it a trail of Sailor tears. I was always told the Ship is the body, but it's the crew that makes her alive. No feasible way the Navy or the US Govt can keep every Ship as a reminder of former days of glory.
Watched the carrier sail in to SF Bay from GG Bridge headed to Hunters Point, circa 1959.
Taxpayers should be happy. This ship is a direct cost monthly to the Navy (taxpayers) This sale is called recycling. With 17 trillion in debt and another 100 trillion or so in unfunded liabilities including pensions and healthcare, the armed forces need to start trimming and "lean out" everywhere possible. The fact that the military usually ends up with dis-proportionate cuts compared to other govt. departments is problematic. That doesn't mean the shedding of expenses isn't warranted, it means we need to do the same with ALL gov't depts. Getting a ship for .01 cent probably means the scrapper has to tow it to Texas and comply with a phone book size set of regs and compliance BS. That costs a boatload of money. I'm thinking the scrapper makes a little money and keeps a couple hundred workers on the payroll for another year or two. If the former sailors can't raise the dough for yet another museum piece- that speaks for itself.
This "save the old USS" syndrome is getting entirely annoying. There aren't enough veterans in the US to acquire a former supercarrier via donations or any other means and in today's financial environment nobody in their right mind wants to be involved in that kind of expense for a naval vessel, no matter how "historic". If acquired, no organization would be able to pay for the maintenance and upkeep of the ship over the years — painting alone would be millions of dollars a pop. While one always hates to see the old ships go for scrap, trying to preserve one that size is foolish in the extreme unless Bill Gates wants it.
I want to say thank you to David (#16) for helping me with my massive frustration that matches Mark's (#2) post. I mean, a car goes for $400 in scrap. But if you include the costs of towing and government specifications in how you dismantle it, then yes, that does make sense. Thank you for more info than what CNN was willing to provide.
I was aboard CV-59 on July 29 1967.
I consider my self a Forrestal fire survivor.
Was laying in my bunk when the first fire call sounded. !st bomb went off as i was rolling out..
2nd one went off as I was leaving 01-119 4- l.
i WAS NOW AT THE BOTTOM OF THE LADDER, NOT TOO MUCH WORSE FOR WEAR. What really scared me the most was a couple days later as we steamed into Subic and the word REFLASH sounded on the 1MC.
Sorry to see it scrapped, But Uncle SAm doesn't always know when $2 mil is the best offer it could get. !! or so yeaers later we have a carcass for Junk instead of a Museum.
Imwas on the USS Kula Gulf CVE 108 in 1054 when people were volunteering for pre-com of Forrestall. We were on a jeep carrier. Needless to say all the BTs wanter something new!
Boy I blew the spelling on my post! That was 1954. I am old but not quite that old!
I was also aboard the Forrestal during the fire. It is really saddening to think of the tremendous effort that we put forth that day to extinguish the fire. Those 8 from VA-106 were our buddies. Their names are on the Vietnam wall not to be forgotten. However they are more deeply engraved on the hearts of us who survived. What our government does no longer surprises me. A fool says in his heart there is no God how much less is a fool who says we don't wont God in our government or our schools. What do you expect from a government ran by the foolish.
If one goes to the website for the Historic Naval Ships Assn. they will discover the enormous costs of maintaining museum ships in the condition that paying tourists and the Navy expect. One of the biggest problems occurs when the initial enthusiasm – and the sailors who sailed on the ship – dies out. Check out the situation with the USS Yorktown in Charleston and the USS Olympia in Philadelphia. Folks, it ain't easy maintaining "older women!"
I was aboard CVA-59 during the fire, I was with CVW-17 and VF-74. Lost many good shipmates that day and the memories will always be there. Sad to see a piece of Naval History go for junk. Still flying now only in my piper Cherokee and saw it from the air many times while she was in Newport RI. Always wanted to try to land on her deck one more time–bolter-bolter
not unexpected but a sad day, med cruise, 72/73. dad was a thirty year man and I followed a lot of his old boats to the scrap yard, like losing family.
I was in Subic, a 18 year old seaman on a minesweeper,when the FID was offloading the caskets, one after another down the gangway. Saddest sight in my whole life. Left for Vietnam the next day. BUT – in 2005 I was going to the Command Master Chief course in Newport, RI and saw the FIB and "Sarah" side by side – well beyond economical repair. Fixing up another carrier as a musuem is really a crazy task. I hate to see history die like this – but with the training tapes, reunions, etc. She'll NEVER die.
No matter what the arguments about saving carriers are, she's gone. The best thing's probly to write the Navy Sec to name one of the new DDG51s as a new USS Forrestal in memory of the man, the 1st supercarrier, and the 5000-at-a-time who served on her, especially the 134.
I would much rather see these ships sunk off our coasts as artificial reefs as opposed to being scrapped.
I was stationed at NAS Cubi Pt in 1967. I was one of about a dozen airdales who volunteered to assist in casualty preparation. We were given masks white aprons and we were doused in peppermint oil. The Forrestal tied up at the carrier pier at Cubi and the fire alarms were still going off. To a commenter above: the casualties were NOT brought down the gangway in caskets. The casualties were in body bags and were brought down on the elevator, on pallets, and GSE then moved the pallets to waiting C-130s. Each body bag had a flag on it. The carrier oiler was crowded with media. We volunteers went aboard to the hangar deck where the bodies were being prepared. They actually did not need our assistance. We left the ship via catwalks in the aft part of the ship – where the most damage had been done. It was horrendous – the unbelievable damage and the smell – the smell of death everywhere. I can smell it now. I will never forget this as long as I live.
This article is misleading. They are not selling them the ship for one cent. Usually the Navy pays a contractor to dismantle a ship. In this case the payment is the scrap value of the ship plus 1 cent. You can't do a contract without any funding (in most cases) and this is the way around that FAR rule.

Day 2 - Least favorite game - Fatal Frame I
Fatal Frame I
Comparing the games I,II and III - I'd have to say I is my least favorite game. I don't hate the game, just to make things clear. When I compare it against III and II, I can't remember being as scared in this game as I have with The Tormented and Crimson Butterfly.
Fatal Frame I, just like II and III has a beautiful story line to it and since parts of the story itself was based on real events it just makes it twice as creepy. What I didn't like about FF I was it's graphics. I was so used to graphics off the PS2 that when I played Fatal Frame I, I couldn't help but laugh (I'm so sorry to the FF I fans out there, D:). And not only were the graphics bad, but the voice acting for the English version was just dreadful.
Broken neck bitch still roaming about and pissing me off. I think she over did the limbo rock.
BUT HEY, the upside of playing the whole game? Mafuyu is HOT….

The Creationist
((This is originally a dream of mine, but I thought it would make such a pretty story.))
It was a cold room. It was the same chains and leather. It was the same brick wall I was being bashed against when I felt the need to become violent. It was all the same…and as my broken breathing echoed in the closed cell of the mental asylum - I looked up at the barred window, hoping for some bright light to appear.
None came.
I was forever to be trapped and the truth was sinking in.
I looked down at the straight jacket that they wrapped me up in, I could feel the cold sweat run down my forehead.
I was being drugged into hysteria. None of these helped me. No one would. No one.
Suddenly, a bright light started spilling into my room from the ceiling and down on the damn brick floor like a spot light on stage. Dried leaves of brown and gold fell from the ceiling like snow.
I looked up at the source - it was a huge hole. I heard someone calling me faintly, she said 'come into the light.' and as curious as I was, I did what I was told. I walked under the light and looked up. I was blinded by such brightness that I had to blink once or twice and hold up my hand over my eyes.
I was scared… but a hand came from the light, and I reached up at it - not knowing what would come next. I was pulled up. Up into the light. Up into another world. Up into a beautiful place.
As I fell onto the grass and rubbed my eyes, a hand patted me in the shoulder. I looked up at the person and I could see a smile on her friendly, pretty and so pleasantly plump cheeks. Short blonde hair with grey eyes, a hand on her hip as she told me to get up.
She told me to stop willowing into the dark and told me to get up from the ground and unto my feet. I got up and she put a hand on my shoulder.
She was far from being an angel. If she was - she was made out of marble and stone, strong and sturdy yet so beautiful and calm.
I looked down and the straight jacket was gone… I was wearing a cottony dress. I was barefooted. I felt free.
The angel took my hand and pulled me towards the forrest. I told her I was afraid, but she told me it's okay…'Because we all have to be scared once in a while.' and as we were about to enter the tree infested forest, I looked at her with a distressed look on my face.
"I'm scared…"
"It's okay…" she told me.
"Please come with me..?"
"I can't… This is your journey to take. But I'll be here, if you want to come back."
Then she turned me around to face the forest and gently pushed me forewards as encouragement. Her hands imprinted on my shoulder. She would always be with me… it was printed into my soul.
As I continued to walk into the kingdom of trees, I fell upon a almost sad, almost angry jester. Messy curls for his hair and glasses. He stood tall with a smirk on his face. He asked me what I was doing in the forrest by myself - I said I was on a journey to somewhere and he told me he'd come along but not for too long…
As we begun walking, the angry yet sad jester started talking in a funny tone. He begun cracking jokes of his own, being sarcastic yet humorous that I couldn't help but laugh at every word spoken. As I we reached a huge tree - he stopped. I looked back at him.
"This is where our journey ends. You have to go on without me."
"Keep laughing, and don't worry about the world too much. Nothing good will come from it." he told me.
"I'm…I'm scared."
"It's okay… If you want to come back, I'll be here waiting."
With that said, I gave him one last smile before pressing on.
On my way deeper into the forest, two girls grabbed onto my hand with such gentleness and looked up at me. They were so tiny, their small frames reminding me of innocence in it's purest form. One of them was almost a almost skinny frame, the other a pleasantly plump girl - both baring dark hair and brown eyes.
The two were like twins wearing white flowy dresses, but so different from one another. One was cheerful and enthusiastic the other was a happy but sad youth. The two of them clung unto my hand every step of the way.
They were my little sisters. The twin spirits that reminded me of youth. They ran into the forrest calling me into a game of 'catch-me-if-you-can' and I giggled and played along. I felt my heart leap as I ran into my glorious freedom.
It felt great. The wind in my hair, the calm and serine yet exciting world of innocence stained my skin - and as I was to approach a deeper part of the forest, they stopped and hugged me tightly.
"This is were our journey ends." said the tiny framed child.
"You have to go on without us." said the plump framed youth.
"Aren't you coming with me? We can play over this big tree!" I said, a smile on my face filling the girls with excitement, but they fell silent.
"Sometimes - some things mustn't be all fun and games." said the plump framed child.
"If you want to come back, we will be here waiting." said the tiny framed girl.
I nodded and kissed them on top of their little head and walked off.
It was silent. Eerie and silent. It was a different part of the forest, and as I pressed on, a tiny paper plane flew over my head. My gaze followed it… and the plane landed on the hands of a stranger seating on the end of a long table. He asked me to sit on the other end and I did.
This man was a mystery… He had a pilots cap covering his eyes as he kept his head down. He had dirty blonde hair and a smile was set on his face, taking my curiousity to know him fly off into the sky like his paper plane. As we continued to talk, my heart begun to beat violently it was painful.
I couldn't touch him, I couldn't reach him - he was so far away.
So far away.
I put a hand over my heart to make it stop beating like it did, but as I looked down I was bleeding. My white cottony dress stained with crimson and I got up from my seat in panic. I looked up at him wanting to know - but he had his head down, and couldn't see that I was in pain. He was ignorant to it all.
Scared - I fled. I ran as fast as I could. I stumbled down a hill and I got up from the dirt as the concrete angel whispered in my ear to stand. I did. I felt thorns rip my dress as the branches pulled me back, but I fought my way into my escape. My skin now bruised and cut - I was bathing in my blood and I began to cry. Keep laughing. Keep laughing even if your in pain. The words of the miserable jester came to me - I laughed the pain away.
I slipped down the hill and into the cold waters.
I was now drowning in sorrow.
I closed my eyes… I was now losing this game… I was to face defeat in death.
Sometimes - some things mustn't be all fun and games…the voice of the twin sisters in white called to me, and I fought for the surface. As I broke free and gasped for air, I swum to shore.
From the waters a was reborn.
The bruises gone. The cuts healed. And the people from the forest stood in front of me, they were all in a light - they were all there when I wanted to come back. The concrete angel walked towards me and they all spoke to me in a chorus:
"Your journey has now ended - now it is time to create a new journey. That journey has now begun…" and with that said, the angel pushed me back gently and I fell. I was now falling.
I opened my eyes to find myself inside the cell again. It was all a dream - but I had a journey yet to create. I was now a creationist.
The End

Socialism in American: Brought to you by Obama? No Actually, Think 1999
Our current political dialogue, particularly among conservatives and the tea party, is highly concerned that President Obama has become the tipping point that is sending America down the path of socialism. And while he maybe partially responsible remaking America into a socialist country, I would suggest that a massive tipping point actually occurred in 1999. In fact, the socialist tipping point of 1999 might more accurately be called an avalanche.
Am I exaggerating? Judge for yourself.
So just a little reminder of how we define socialism. It's redistribution of wealth. But more, it's redistribution by the agency of government. And it's redistribution based not on productive value given, but rather it's an arbitrary gift of government.
Before we get to 1999, let's review the last few years since the beginning of the Great Recession. It started as a real estate bubble which popped. And since the popping of the bubble the Federal Reserve has been fighting a 5-alarm deflation fire by infusing massive amounts of money into the banking system through every mechanism available to it.
Now as the money is infused into the banking system, it is then supposed to disperse through the entire economy through low interest loans. But something odd has been happening in the process. Massive amounts of money have been going somewhere, but not into the real economy. Even now, the "Velocity of Money" is declining to abysmally low levels. And since "Velocity of Money" is a measure of money being exchanged by us, the regular people in the country, this means the real economy is still deflating.
So where are these massive amounts of money going? Have you noticed Wall Street this year? Record highs are back in the stock market. Do you know why? Essentially free money given to Wall Street banks, and no incentive to loan it. So guess where the money goes. Not to loans, it goes into speculation, It goes into the stock market. It makes everyone who is well off feel like they are much more well off. But no new value is actually added to the economy.
Now I'm really not blaming the Federal Reserve for what's happened. They're trying to do the job congress and the President ought to be doing. They're trying to get this economy back on it's feet. But the real effect is that wealth with very little risk, wealth with little value added, wealth as a massive gift is being given to the already very wealthy.
The real effect is we have created…Socialism for the Wealthy.
While it is true that Obama has continued to expand Socialism for the Wealthy. He did not start us on this path. No, the credit for our New Socialist State goes to…
Bill Clinton, Newt Gingrich, and the Republican congress of 1999.
Surprised? I thought these guys were the great capitalists!
But in fact, 1999 is the year that Glass-Steagall was repealed. This changed the entire structure of the banking industry, and with it the entire structure of our economy. You see Glass-Steagall separated our banks into two types, the Wall Street investment bank. And then the majority of our banks were boring old, Jimmy Stewart like savings and loans. They existed for…well savings and loans. And back when banks were structured this way, the Federal Reserve actually could stimulate the real economy by providing low interest "loans" to these banks.
So there you have it. The first step back from Socialist America is to repair the damage that supposed capitalist conservatives have done to our system.
Reenact Glass-Steagall

Asian air transport industry leaders yesterday signaled European Commission vice president Siim Kallas that they will step up their war against the European Union's emissions trading scheme (ETS). But Kallas held firm, telling the Singapore Airshow's Aviation Leadership Summit that while the EU is willing to negotiate over how ETS applies to airlines outside Europe, it will do so only on its own terms and is in no hurry to give ground.
European Union Emission Trading Scheme
Even as the EU-ETS officially takes effect for air transport, it remains under fire politically and legally from almost every direction. The U.S., China, India, Russia and numerous other states have all made high-level protests against the cap-and-trade system–in some cases backing these up with thinly veiled threats of economic sanctions against the European Union, if it refuses to back down in its insistence on imposing ETS on operators from outside Europe.
The European Union's controversial emissions trading scheme (EU-ETS) officially takes effect beginning January 1 against a backdrop of ongoing political protests and legal challenges. But for business aircraft operators, the more immediate concern is to be ready to meet the next set of requirements for monitoring, reporting and verifying their carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions and preparing to start trading carbon credits.
The European Union Emissions Trading Scheme (EU-ETS) went into effect for aviation users on New Year's Day, just 10 days after NBAA lamented a European Court of Justice decision allowing European authorities to obligate all operators, including the airlines and general aviation, to comply with the program.
The European Union (EU) appears to be on a political collision course with the United States and other leading nations after the European Court of Justice in Luxembourg blocked an appeal by Airlines for America (A4A) against the imposition of the emissions trading scheme (ETS) on non-European airlines.
Politicians viewing air transport as a soft target are the greatest threat to the air transport industry, according to the secretary general of the Arab Air Carriers Organization.
The governing council of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), meeting on November 2 in Montreal, adopted a declaration opposing the European Union's "unilateral" action to include non-EU aircraft operators in its emissions trading scheme (ETS) as of January. By endorsing the declaration, expressed in a "working paper" advanced by 26 countries, ICAO aligned with the international airline industry and a collection of countries including Brazil, China, the U.S., India, Japan and the Russian Federation, in fighting the EU requirement.
Led by the U.S., China and two dozen other nations, the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) adopted a "working paper" yesterday urging the European Union not to include non-EU carriers in its emissions trading scheme (ETS).
The U.S. and its allies in opposition to the European Union's emissions trading scheme (ETS) are expected to step up political pressure on Europe after apparently failing to block the controversial cap-and-trade program on legal grounds.
The U.S. House of Representatives helped stoke a threatened trade war with Europe, passing legislation October 24 that would prohibit U.S. aircraft operators from participating in the European emissions trading scheme (ETS).

Asus wireless lan adapter not working after reinstalled windows 7
I was reinstalling windows 7 home premium on my desktop, I formatted/deleted the hard drive to do a clean install because I didn't want any problems that might be left behind if I didn't do a clean install.
Im having trouble connecting to the internet now after the Windows 7 install (it worked before). I have an Asus USB-N13 wireless adapter. I tried it on my laptop and it works fine, but when I try it on my desktop, it gives me the message "ASUS wireless LAN card is taken apart from your desktop". I tried reinstalling the utilities and drivers but its still not working.

Some experts believed the Detroit Lions would take a step back after a 10-6 record and a playoff berth in 2011, but not many guessed that they would win just four games. With such a poor showing last season, should expectations be tempered? Far from it. If anything, expectations have been raised for the Lions organization and it's fans.
What have the Lions done to improve their inability to get stops on defense?
Last offseason, the Lions decided to retain 21 of 22 starters, betting on their roster to make improvements and become a better team. The only problem with that philosophy is that it left little cap room to work with and next to no room for improvement on a roster which already had its starting group set. The Lions have taken a completely different approach in what seems to be a boom or bust season for the coaching staff and front office, and nothing proved that more than when the Lions drafted Ziggy Ansah in the first round with the fifth overall pick – the ultimate boom or bust player in the 2013 draft.
The Lions also addressed one of their biggest areas of concern, the secondary, early in the draft for the first time in resent years when they drafted Darius Slay in the second round. Slay's has the combination of size and speed to be an elite NFL corner and they added Glover Quin in free agency, a proven veteran who should be a nice fit at safety with Louis Delmas.
Shuffling the offensive line/ improving the run game
The Lions weren't terrible along the offensive line last season, but they weren't great either. Their guards had a hard time creating space and getting up field to bring any explosion to the running game. To address these issues the Lions have replaced left tackle Jeff Backus with 2012 first round pick Riley Reiff and drafted Larry Warford in the third round to take over at right guard. Both additions make the Lions significantly younger, bigger, and more athletic, but it's fair to question if Reiff can contain Jared Allen, Clay Matthews, and Julius Peppers twice a year. The success of the offensive line could determine the success Reggie Bush has on the ground and the success the Lions have in 2013.
Expectations for 2013
The Lions have accomplished what they set out to accomplish- getting bigger, more athletic, and faster along the offensive line and secondary. But what the Lions have gained in those areas, they have lost in experience. That being the case, these young athletic players could end up being two or three-year projects, which would likely result in the termination of the current coaching regime.
There has been a boom or bust approach for the Lions in 2013, which has resulted in the most talented roster Jim Schwartz has had, but talent doesn't always translate into wins. The number of games the Lions win this year solely lies on the coaches ability to get their young players playing productive football. Expect Matthew Stafford to bounce back, Calvin Johnson to keep being Megatron, and big seasons from Ndamukong Suh and Nick Fairley.
I fully expect the Lions to bounce back this year with an 11-5 record and a playoff berth. What are your expectations for the Lions this season? Leave a comment below and share your predictions for the Lions record in 2013.

Big changes were already coming to Hartford's Journalism and Media Academy, which is moving from Weaver High School to a newly renovated location on Tower Avenue in August.
Now it appears that the academy will become a magnet school.
The city board of education is scheduled to vote Tuesday night to convert Journalism and Media Academy to a Sheff magnet. Negotiations between the state, Sheff plaintiffs and Hartford school leaders to extend the desegregation agreement have been ongoing. (More on that here.)
In a summary to the board, school administrators said converting JMA to a magnet school would be part of the settlement.
The plan calls for making 180 seats available for incoming ninth-graders in 2013-14. Half of those seats would be reserved for suburban students. By 2016-17, the magnet seats will expand to 12th grade.
Currently, about 200 students attend the academy.
Families of incoming ninth-graders will be able to apply for the program immediately. Later today, the state's Regional School Choice Office plans to open its application process for new magnet schools and programs for the 2013-14 year.
The list of new programs already includes the Hartford Journalism and Media Magnet School. The application deadline is April 29; the New Schools and Opportunities lottery will be held in May, according to the state.

Samsung Galaxy Nexus Hands-OnCam Bunton - Member
Cam from Today's iPhone (yes, let the jokes begin) makes another guest appearance on PhoneDog with the Samsung Galaxy Nexus! It's available in the UK now (much to Aaron's sadness), and should be available in the States sometime this year with Verizon. Specifications include a 1.2 GHz dual-core TI OMAP processor, 4.65-inch HD (720p) Super AMOLED display, 5-megapixel camera with 1080p HD video recording, a front-facing shooter, 1,750 mAh battery, and a stock build of Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich). Is it the ultimate Android device to beat the iPhone?

A U.S. Army major general was killed in an attack at an Afghan military base in Kabul on Tuesday, according to a defense official who asked not to be named.
If confirmed would be the highest ranking American officer to be killed in the war in Afghanistan. A defense official confirmed the information on the condition he not be named since the family had not been fully notified yet.
Coalition headquarters in Kabul would confirm only that one coalition servicemen was killed in an attack. The coalition headquarters did not detail the circumstances of the attack.
The shooting took place at the Marshal Fahim National Defense University in Kabul.
Insider attacks, in which Afghan soldiers shoot coalition partners, had increased a couple years ago, but recently had declined dramatically.
Insider attacks on U.S. and coalition troops by Afghans had increased since 2007 and had emerged as a serious threat by 2012. Attackers that year killed 62 coalition troops.

Many of you know much more than me but based on who is known to be gone and on each roster Ill take a shot. Let me hear your thoughts
*NOte: I DONT know schedules yet and as they are unbalanced that is a huge part
These first teams could win double digit ACC wins
- NC State - If Leslie comes back I think you have to put them here. Though one of there inside guys left.. cant recall who? But they have a great PG, Wood shooting, Leslie inside and nice freshman to play some as help
- Duke - Even if no one else comes, Ill put us here with Mason's decision. Mason, Kelly, Curry, Dawkins, Thornton, Cook is basically the same as last year minus Rivers. I hope RIvers absence can be overcome esp with some improvement and maturity of Cook. I think that is very very key - to have a true PG.. Hope others can improve like Curry and Dawkins etc. Mason should be a double double and assert himself. Heck, let him assert himself so we are seen as a school with guys at center who get shots. AMurphy and Plumlee and Gbinije and Hairston should be ready to help some now. Esp Hairston and Gbinije.
- UNC -level of guard talent + McAdoo is enough to put them in the hunt. Les McDonald, Dex etc. + Bullock and Hairston got time this year. So they are pretty experienced at teh 2,3,4 The 1 and 5 positions will determine their fate. Glad Oriakhi went elsewhere.
- Miami - Scott, Reggie Johnson, Kadji. Nuff' Said.
tier 2 --------- 6 ACC wins at minimum
Maryland = Stoglin, Lin an Faust returning is vry solid. Good recruiting. Solid pick to be .500 or better in league
FSU? I dont know this year. So many senrs gone and Okaro White transferrd too.. But Snaer is great at guard and playing D. But they have won 9 or 10 ACC games for a few years running so hard to say no.
UVA- no Mike Scott but never count out a team coached by Bennet. They will get at least 6 wins with TB at the helm
Clemson - no guards with any experience. But Milton Jennings and Booker as Senior Front line men will get 6 wins. I think Brownell is a good coach. Early on Clemson will lose some to some bad teams bc they will be starting 'new' guards but they will get better by ACC time. Same pattern as this year (lost to Coastal Carolina, South Carolina, etc then went 8-8 ACC)
--------- less than 6 ACC wins
BC - better though they lost a transfer. Interesting to see them mature as they were basically ALL Fr last year so now they are all Sophs. They will win a few - I say 5-11 or so. One more year and they get up to middle tier as all juniors.
V Tech - only won about 4 this year ; lose Dorenzo Hudson but all the rest return. They will be right on the line of 6 acc wins.
G Tech - still not enough talent ; loss of Ricejr is huge
Wak Forest - how long will the pain last? Transfers and no talent

Mississippi high schools sure do seem to have a lesbian problem. First there was Constance McMillen, the student whose school first canceled their prom rather than let McMillen and her female date attend and then later sent McMillen to a fake prom.
And now there's Ceara Sturgis, a student at Mississippi's Wesson Attendance Center who was literally omitted from her senior yearbook's portrait pages – her name didn't even make it in – because of who she is.
When Veronica Rodriguez opened Wesson Attendance Center's Yearbook on Friday, she didn't see her lesbian daughter Ceara Sturgis pictured or named in the senior-portrait section of the yearbook. The latest blow came after a long battle with school officials to include a photo of her daughter wearing a tuxedo in the school's 2010 yearbook.
…Sturgis and her mother commissioned the Mississippi ACLU to protest officials' October 2009 decision not to allow Sturgis' photo to appear in the senior yearbook because she chose to wear a tuxedo instead of a dress. The ACLU wrote an October letter demanding officials use Sturgis' submitted photo in the yearbook, but Copiah County School District officials refused. Still, Rodriguez said she expected her daughter to at least be named on the senior page, perhaps with a "photo unavailable" box. What she discovered on Friday, when the yearbook came in, was that the school had refused to acknowledge her entirely on the senior pages.
So they literally erased her from the high school's existence. Incredible. You know, it used to be that folks would chalk things like this up to "ignorance." But this isn't ignorance, it's hatred – and the malicious targeting of young people makes it especially disgusting. You can find the school's contact information here and all of the staff's (including principal Ron Greer) email addresses here.

Keep cool and be good, B.

Bullock's oriole
|This article needs additional citations for verification. (July 2010)
|Bullock's oriole
|Conservation status
|Scientific classification
|I. bullockii
|Binomial name
|Icterus bullockii
(Swainson, 1827)
The Bullock's oriole (Icterus bullockii) is a small New World blackbird. At one time, this species and the Baltimore oriole were considered to be a single species, the northern oriole.[2][3] This bird was named after William Bullock, an English amateur naturalist.
Physical description[edit]
Bullock's orioles are sexually dimorphic, with males being more brightly colored than females. In addition, adult males tend to be slightly larger and heavier than females. In general, adults range in mass from 29 to 43 grams. Adults have a pointed bill with a straight culmen. In adult males, the tail is long, square, and jet black. All exposed skin is black, as are the claws and bill, though the base of the lower mandible lightens to bluish-gray.
Adult males are characterized by strongly contrasting orange and black plumage, a black throat patch and a white wing bar. The underparts, breast, and face are orange or yellow; by contrast, the back, wings, and tail are black. A black line extends from each eye to the black crown. The wing coverts (feathers not directly used in flight) are fringed white, forming a wing patch. Although the tail is mostly black, the outermost three or four retrices (flight feathers) are tipped orange, forming a T shape. Adult females, by contrast, have gray-brown upperparts, duller yellow on the breast and underparts, and an olive crown. Some females may also have a dark throat patch, similar (but less extensive) to the one found in adult males; in all cases females lack the black eye-line present in adult males. It is hypothesized that females with throat patches are older individuals.
Following the general pattern observed among icterids, the overall plumage pattern seen in immature male Bullock's orioles closely resembles that seen in adult females. Juveniles resemble adult females but have darker wings, fresh wing coverts, and a pink or whitish bill. Sexual dimorphism is not obvious in juveniles.
Bullock's orioles are seasonally monogamous. The breeding season typically lasts from May until July. The exact timing of the beginning of the breeding season tends to vary geographically: in general, breeding begins later in the northernmost and westernmost portions of its geographic range. Mated pairs of Bullock's orioles cooperate to weave deep, pendant baskets in which are deposited between three and six eggs, though females tend to do much of the work. The nest is woven of plant fibers, primarily bark and fine grass fiber, though animal hair is also commonly used. The nest is lined with down, hair, and moss.
Both males and females rear the young and defend the nest from predators and nest parasites.
Bullock's orioles and Baltimore orioles typically hybridize in the Midwest where their geographic ranges overlap.
Both males and females sing. While males have a sweeter voice, females tend to be more prolific singers. This bird's song is similar to that of the Baltimore oriole, but faster and somewhat more harsh.
Bullock's orioles are native to western North America, though according to Jaramillo (1999) they are sometimes found as vagrants in the eastern half of the continent. During the breeding season, they are found as far west as the eastern foothills of the Cascade range. Their breeding range stretches east to the Dakotas, Kansas, and northern central Texas (Jaramillo and Burke 1999). This species can be found as far north as British Columbia in Canada and as far south as Sonora or Durango in Mexico (Jaramillo and Burke 1999; Rising and Williams 1999). It is common throughout its range, but is absent in parts of Arizona and Idaho where a combination of extreme elevation and an arid climate make for poor living conditions (Rising and Williams 1999). During winter, this species retreats to Mexico and northern Central America. Its winter range extends south and east from Sinaloa to Oaxaca (Jaramillo and Burke 1999).
Like other members of Icteridae, Bullock's orioles prefer habitat edges. They especially prefer riparian corridors, open deciduous woodland, and scrub forest (Jaramillo and Burke 1999). Observations during the breeding season indicate that members of this species prefer areas with an abundance of cottonwood, pecan, and (if near water) willow (Jaramillo and Burke 1999; Rising and Williams 1999). In dry areas, this species prefers salt cedar and mesquite (Rising and Williams 1999). In California, eucalyptus trees are used as major sources of nectar (Jaramillo and Burke 1999; Rising and Williams 1999).
These birds forage in trees and shrubs, also making short flights to catch insects. They mainly eat insects, berries, and nectar. In some locations, they may be seen using hummingbird feeders.
These birds come to a dish filled with grape jelly. Their parents lead them, feed them jelly and then the adult males leave the area. The young stay at the jelly dish from first feeding in early July and leave late September. They have been doing this for several years. Our area is southern central Idaho.
Related species[edit]
A member of the northern oriole group, Bullock's orioles were once considered to be conspecific with Baltimore orioles and black-backed orioles. However, recent phylogenetic data suggest that Bullock's orioles are members of a distinct species that does not share a most-recent common ancestor with Baltimore orioles, as was once assumed.

Re: Without DTD Mapping
LexEv currently will still try and fail to resolve the entity... but that would be a useful feature to add...
IMHO Andrews code falls into that area which is entering the 'xml processor', i.e. it is trapping a potential error in the same way that a parser is (when parsing with a DTD to resolve the entities).
Worth pointing out that the document is strictly non-conformant, though a worthwhile transform option since it comes up so often.
Andrew, what would you do when trapping entity events from an instance that has a DTD? Do the sax events precede the parsers resolution using the DTD or follow it?

PolyOne GLS Thermoplastic Elastomers has launched a contest to find the best ideas for its innovative shape memory technology. This patent-pending technology is a new class of stimuli-responsive materials that can change shape under thermal stimulus. After heating the polymer with a substance such as hot water, it can be formed into any shape, and it will hold its shape when cooled. The polymer can be reheated and reshaped multiple times. Check out the video to see this shape-changing technology in action.
The shape-memory polymer belongs to a class of polymers called thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs). TPEs are flexible, resilient materials that can be made in any color and a variety of textures. The polymers can range from hard to soft, and can be used in single or multi-component constructions. For example, some types of TPEs are popular for "soft touch" grips on everything from toothbrushes to hammers because the soft, textured polymer can be "overmolded" on top of a harder polymer. Learn more about the shape memory TPE's properties and how shape-memory technology works here.
So, how can this shape-memory TPE add value to existing applications? What new products could be made from it? PolyOne thinks it can be used to create user-customized, ergonomic enhancements to a variety of products in the sports, consumer and healthcare industries. Its shape-changing ability could allow users to tailor products to fit their specific needs. For example, an athlete can make a custom mouthguard by putting the warmed polymer into the mouth and shaping it to the teeth. Because the polymer can be reheated and reshaped, deformed parts can be easily repaired. Send PolyOne your best idea using the form on PolyOne's contest page. The deadline is October 31.

|Quneitra District
Buq'ata (Arabic: بقعاتا; Hebrew: בֻּקְעָאתָא) is a Druze town in the northern Golan Heights, currently administered by Israel. Most of the residents hold Syrian citizenship. Buq'ata covers an area of 7,000 dunams (7 km²) between Mount Hermonit and Mount Varda. It is located 1,070 metres above sea level. In 2007, the population was 5,700.[1]
Buq'ata was founded in the 1880s by families from the neighboring town of Majdal Shams. It was destroyed in 1888 during a series of feuds between rival villages in the area, and again in 1925, during the Great Syrian Revolt against the French mandatory rule. It became part of independent Syria in 1946. In the course of the Six-Day War in 1967, the town was captured by Israel. Buq'ata achieved Israeli local council status in 1982.[citation needed]
Since the uprising in Syria, some of the violence has spilled over into Buq'ata, where residents loyal to the government of President Bashar al-Assad in Damascus have clashed with anti-Assad activists.[2]
According to data compiled by Israel's Central Bureau of Statistics in 2001, Buq'ata ranked 2 out of 10 on the national socioeconomic index. In 2000, 72.5% of Grade 12 students graduated with a Bagrut matriculation certificate.
The inhabitants of Buq'ata have permanent residency status in Israel and are entitled to Israeli citizenship. They receive social welfare benefits from Israel and their produce is marketed through Israeli distributors.[3]
The local economy is predominantly agricultural, with apples and grapes being the main crops. In 2013, Buq'ata harvested 55,000 tons of apples, which it sells to markets in Israel or exports to Syria.[4]

expensive and waste of time
Took twice as long as packet said to sprout and despite following instructions, they one by one died. My friends who planted normal strawberry seeds had small strawberries by the time my last and only seedling was 2 inches tall!

Wouldn't grow
Planted the seeds and followed all the instructions. Unfortunately the plants only grew about 1cm high and that was that. Not even a hint of a strawberry.
Thank you for your review. We're sorry to hear that you weren't happy with this product and have passed on your feedback to our supplier.

No luck
Had no luck with them unfortunately. Ideally, would like to buy alpine strawberries in Ocado. Maybe they could be included in the Natoora range ?
Thank you for your review. We're sorry you weren't 100% happy with this product, and we will pass on your comments to our supplier as soon as possible.

Since Luchadora India Sioux may not grace the wrestling ring again, I thought I would do a short tribute to this lovely young lady.
(BTW, in case you didn't hear, nothing bad happened to her. The Cubs Fan has reported that she had a baby and probably won't be returning to the ring)
India Sioux was born on September 20, 1984, in Nezahualcoyotl, Mexico.
She comes from a big wrestling family.
REALLY big!
