National Service Blog
Posted on Nov 7, 2014
I have several projects in response to the President's call to service. First of all I have, for 13 years, served on Veterans of Foreign Wars Honor Guard teams where I conduct funeral services for our heroes. I do the reading to honor the passing veterans. I have done hundreds and hundreds of funerals, if not thousands at a National Cemetery and private cemeteries in two states.
It consists of finding the appropriate words to pay tribute to someone who has offered his or her life for our great country. It is the greatest honor bestowed upon me. Perhaps there are no adequate words but I try as best as possible.
I am a disabled Vietnam veteran, a retired military veteran with 26 years active service, I am totally disabled from my employment, and I am father of an active duty Green Beret who has served multiple tours in Operation Iraqi Freedom.
I wanted to somehow give back and support our veterans and their families for their service within the limits of my disabilities. I am particularly burdened with the loss of about 75% of my long term memory and virtually have no short term memory that resulted from a problem during heart surgery years ago.
I understand that after military retirement I was a fairly talented computer programmer and webmaster in the civilian market before that occurrence and I have retained some minimal skills, though most have been long forgotten. I attempt to use what skills remaining to help our veterans as best as possible but I must admit it is a difficult chore.
My other work for my fellow veterans involves putting together a bi-monthly, 32 page newsletter to provide our veterans...

Summer is a season of heightened hunger in America. As the school year ends and school nutrition programs end with it, many children lose an important source of food. Regular donations to local charities are also interrupted by travel and changed summer schedules. In 2009, economic troubles have made the challenges facing many families even greater. When John Berry became the Director of OPM this spring, Virginia Congressman Frank Wolf asked him if Federal workers might be able to help food banks in the National Capital Region, and the Feds Feed Families food drive was born.

To be fair, if this was our team, or players and fans would be acting exactly like Brees, Vilma, and the Aints fans. If you say you'd be upset at the Panthers, you're a liar. You'd be behind them.

This year's World Series will pit the New York Yankees against the Philadelphia Phillies. It's a match-up one local high school basketball says he doesn't plan on missing.
Coach Kenny Almond, currently the varsity basketball coach at East Ascension High, is a die-hard Yankees fan but says one of his favorite former athletes now pitches for the Philadelphia Phillies.
Almond says Chad Durbin, a relief pitcher for the Phillies, used to be his star basketball player when he coached at Woodlawn High. Almond says in his forty years as a high school coach, he's seen some spectacular athletes come and go, but not one like Chad Durbin.
"Chad knows I'm pulling for him… and the Yankees!!!"
Almond says in a perfect world, he wouldn't have to cheer for both teams.

We drive up to North Conway area, NH at least once a year from CT. There used to be one good antique center in North Conway but that has been gone for a few years and on the way home there used to be a good one on route 16 in West Ossipee and now that is gone also. So, does anyone know of any good antique shops/centers/malls in New Hampshire? We have already been along route 101A in southern New Hampshire and those were mostly knick knack shops. Our route usually takes us I-84 in CT to I-90 in Mass to 290 to 495 to 93 in NH to 25 in Meredith to 16 into North Conway. Thanks, Richie |

No doubt you have other reasons besides antiquing to prompt your trips to N.H. but being a 64yr old, avid free lance photographer from Chicopee, Mass I am well familiar with your route and IMHO you may not be seeing the forest for the trees, so to speak. I-84 junctions with I-90 (Mass pike) at Sturbridge, Mass. About one mile from the mass pike toll both there is "Old Sturbridge Village", which is a living museum depicting the life in a rural community from 1740 to 1830. The museum covers about 300acres and has perhaps 50 or more houses, shops and barns from the period, all well laid out in a rural community setting. It is defined as a living museum because as you go through the houses, farms or shops you will find staff members dressed in the costume of the period and performing the day to day work routines as they were done in the period. That in itself would be a wealth of information to a die hard antique collector because not only does it give you an opportunity to see the antiques, you can actually talk to people who use those items daily and can explain there form & function in great detail. Given that the museum is what put the town of Sturbridge on the map, it then stands that the town itself is a mecca of antique dealers ranging from the tiny one car garage size mom & pop operations to huge multi-story super stores in the downtown Sturbridge area. While I am not a die hard antique collector, I would suspect that with the depressed economy and the fierce competition most of those dealers have no doubt had to sharpen their pencils to stay in business so there may be a few true bargains to be had. In addition, If you were to slightly alter your return route and head west on RT 20 (the old Boston Post Road) from Sturbridge on west through Palmer and on to Springfield you will find it is not only a nice pleasant scenic route, it is dotted the whole way with small antique shops of all varieties. Taking rt 20 west from Sturbridge to Springfield, then I-91 south to Hartford will add an additional 47 miles on your trip, but in my estimation it would prove well worth your time and effort. |

Thanks for all of your information. I went to Old Sturbridge Village when I was very young back in the 70's and don't remember too much except that I think rained that day! We have talked about going back there just recently too and I have been going to the Brimfield antique shows ever since my grandfather used to take me in the 70's also. I have done the antique shops in Sturbridge too but not in awhile. Thanks! |

Yep, that's a Missoni bike you're looking at! As I mentioned in the Karl Lagerfeld for Macy's post, buy-for-less lines can tend to be missing a certain special quality, but I'm actually really looking forward to this Missoni for Target line because not only do most of the women's wear patterns look pretty true to Missoni, but there is also a plethora of other things to check out, such as house wares, kids clothes, luggage, computer cases, a ton of overall accessories for men and women, a living room set, and even, as seen above, a bike! Target is going full on Missoni and I'm totally digging it. This crazy large 400-piece Missoni for Target collection will be online and in stores September 13 till October 22 while supplies last!
Check out some of my favorite looks and items below:
I'm totally into the details at the bottom of this skirt!
Dolly Parton's "Coat of Many Colors" anyone?
The socks on the right are perfectly subtle chic for a dude!
I must have this blanket below.

China says US report on defence budget plays up 'Chinese military threat'
Published on Jun 6, 2014 2:43 PM
BEIJING (AFP) - China's defence ministry on Friday hit back at a US report which claimed Beijing underestimated its growing defence budget by nearly 20 per cent, state-media said.
In an annual report required by Congress, the Pentagon said that China's defence budget for 2013 was likely nearing US$145 billion (S$180 billion) last year, higher than the officially announced US$119.5 billion.
But China's defence ministry said in a statement that it "resolutely opposes" the report, state-run Xinhua news agency said.
The report "makes pointless accusations, exaggerates the 'Chinese military threat' and is a completely wrong course of action," Xinhua cited the ministry's information office as saying.

Vintage Pulp | Dec 19 2014 |
Just in time to ruin everyone's Christmas shopping, this National Police Gazette from December 1960 splashed Adolf Hitler's face on its cover along with an inset of Swedish actress May Britt (who could hardly have appreciated the inclusion). George McGrath's story minces no words, opening with this: Indisputable evidence that Adolf Hitler is alive and living in the Argentine has has been uncovered by the Police Gazette. Although this new information is in the hands of government intelligence chiefs, the United States and its allies are not lifting a finger to catch the runaway Nazi dictator.
Vintage Pulp | Nov 20 2014 |
Police Gazette editors hit the panic button with this November 1961 cover claiming the Soviets have a death ray bomb. For a mere twenty-five cents readers were able to acquire new nightmare material by reading about this superweapon, which in the story is called an n-bomb. They're of course referring to a neutron bomb, which by releasing deadly unshielded neutrons would minimize destruction and contamination of property but maximize human death. Not quite rays, so much as a wave emitted by a massive air burst, but still, the new element it brought to the nuclear party was wantonly scattered neutrons, so, okay—rays it is. It must have been a real stunner for Gazette's millions of readers to learn of this horrific weapon, but unless the Russian scientist who brainstormed it into existence was named Sam Cohen we have to call bullshit on this tall tale, for it was Samuel T. Cohen—an American physicist—who conceived and developed the neutron bomb.
many stories about Hitler living in bitter, defeated isolation in South America, here readers see happy Hitler, socializing during the 1930s with friends and compatriots. Next up, Gazette gives readers their fix of celebrity content with Rita Hayworth, who had been married five times and whose problem the editors are only too happy to diagnose—in their esteemed opinion she's just too wild to be tamed. And lastly, Gazette presses panic button number two by tying the nascent civil rights movement to communist agitation from overseas. This is a tabloid tale that was told often in the 1960s because, well, we don't know why exactly—presumably because who besides the puppets of foreign governments would ever deign to demand equal rights? Anyway, we have a few scans below, and an entire stack of early 1970s Gazettes we hope to get to soonish.

The National Police Gazette devoted much of its space to boxing. Above you see twelve pages, some originals and some reprints, from its monthly feature the Gallery of Champions. Of course, Jimmy Carter, at top, later went on to become president of the United States. Really a remarkable story.

We're reaching all the way back to 1907 for this issue of The National Police Gazette, making it the oldest one we've found. A 1907 publication may seem pre-pulp, but the pulp era is considered by many to have begun around 1896 with Frank Munsey's all-fiction magazine The Argosy, which was distilled from his earlier The Golden Argosy. What struck us about this particular Gazette is the weird cover, on which you see famed vaudeville dancer Gertrude Hoffman imitating fellow vaudeville entertainer Eddie Foy, who we assume must have had a well known ballerina-in-drag routine. She looks positively frightening, at least to our eyes. But lest you think Hoffman's cross-cross-dressing had to do with a physical resemblance to Foy, consider that she was also famous for her impersonations of female stars like Anna Held, Eva Tanguay, and Ethel Barrymore, and also regularly performed a Salome dance that landed her in jail more than once for lewd conduct. She simply had a chameleonic ability to convincingly imitate people of both sexes. Later she showed business acumen by forming and becoming director of her own dance troupe and touring the U.S. and Europe. We have a half dozen scans below, and more from the National Police Gazette and other tabloids than any other website. You can see all of it—just click here and scroll down.

This September 1964 National Police Gazette cover is the twenty-fourth we've found starring Adolf Hitler within the date range 1951 to 1966. You get the idea here—Hitler didn't die in Berlin, because he was harder to eradicate than polio, and was instead living in the tropics/Argentina/Antarctica plotting to build a Fourth Reich. We mentioned before that we thought Hitler appeared on the cover of the Gazette twice a year. That's now confirmed. We found five more covers to bring his total to twenty-nine between '51 and '66. When you consider how often other Reich figures such as Adolf Eichmann starred, it becomes clear the Nazis were a cottage industry for the Gazette, which used tales of their dreaded return to induce outrage and fear—and no small amount of newsstand sales. In that way we consider this magazine (and others) to be the precursor to today's American cable news, where inducing outrage and fear has overtaken responsible journalism as a modus operandi. The Gazette would use Hitler for as long as it plausibly could—we have a cover from 1974 claming he was still alive at age eighty-five—before focusing on other fictional threats, such as the scientific community. That sounds familiar too, doesn't it? We'll have more from Gazette and Hitler later.

Above is a classic boxing cover from The National Police Gazette, a magazine whose specialization in this area we've shared with you before. This time the unlucky pugilist is Kid Gavilán, née Gerardo González, aka The Cuban Hawk (gavilán is Spanish for hawk), who on this June 1953 cover is taking a beating from Sugar Ray Robinson. The occasion was 23 September 1948. Robinson won a controversial decision, and when the two met again the next year Robinson won by decision again. Though Gavilán never beat Robinson he did win the world welterweight title in 1951, and throughout that year, 1952, and 1953 defended it by winning brutal bout after brutal bout. That's why the Gazette says Gavilán can take it. In 1954 he jumped weight classes and lost a middleweight title bout to Bobo Olson, then afterward fought Johnny Saxton and lost his welterweight crown. The rest of Gavilán's career was up and down, but he's remembered in boxing circles as one tough hombre. Below is the unaltered photo from which the Gazette made its great cover.

This late stage Police Gazette was published this month in 1973 and features a cover triptych of Lorne Greene, Hank Aaron, and Australian actress Cathy Troutt, aka Kathy Troutt. Gazette claims that Greene planned to run for political office (he didn't) and ponders whether Aaron can break MLB's home run record (he obviously did), but we're interested today in the Troutt story, which isn't really about her but rather an entire group of female celebs whose secrets Gazette promises to reveal.

It's been a few months, so we're bringing Hitler back on The National Police Gazette. This example from March 1951 is the twenty-first Hitler cover we've located, all of them from the 1950s and 1960s, which means he starred for the Gazette at least yearly for two decades. But of course, that's just an average based on the issues we've found so far. We know for certain there were others, and ultimately we'll probably determine that he was featured closer to twice a year. As you can see yourself, this time Gazette is concerned with Hitler's fake suicide, which journo Harvey Wilson says was propaganda put out by the Soviets to cover for their failure to capture him as Berlin burned.
Leaving aside the question of who's really doing the propagandizing here, it's a clever little pivot by the Gazette, which went from merely claiming Hitler had escaped to blaming the escape on Moscow, resulting in a nifty mash-up of two of post-War America's biggest boogeymen—Hitler and Khrushchev. Later the Gazette would claim Hitler or his henchmen were tight with other enemies of the American power elite, including Abdel Nasser and Juan Peron. One year after the above issue came out, Gazette turned around and in its May 1952 issue, at right, blamed Hitler's escape on the Allies. And let's not forget the infamous Hitler-in-Antarctica story, truly one of the all-time creative highlights of mid-century tabloid journalism. Well, wherever Hitler fled, the Gazette'll straighten it out for us in due time. We just have to keep digging up issues. Meanwhile, a couple of scans below, and more from the Gazette to come.

This April 1972 issue of The National Police Gazette offers up Australian bellydancer Rozetta Ahalyea as its cover star, touts a method about picking winning horses, instructs how to outsmart used car racketeers, and suggests what to do when your wife goes on a sex strike. Concerning the latter, is the answer to apologize for whatever fucked up thing you did? No—Gazette suggests withholding her allowance, or possibly disappearing one or two nights a week until she realizes she could lose you. Yeah, that'll totally make things better.
What kind of conflicts? Well, he cites the case of a woman who vomited uncontrollably for weeks due to unknown causes. After exhausting her options with physicians, she came to him for help and he determined that her guilt about a lesbian experience in her past was the cause of her non-stop cookie tossing. Caprio considers it an extreme but understandable reaction to a distasteful experience. So there you have it—everything you need to know about lesbians, provided for you by a heterosexual, middle-aged chauvinist who believes that "female homosexuality represents a flight from the responsibilities of marriage and motherhood." Scans below.

NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope has detected infrared light emanating from 55 Cancri e, a dark, blazing-hot planet only twice the size of Earth and eight times as heavy. This marks the first time that light has been detected from a planet of such a small size, and the find is telling astrophysicists where to look in their search for signs of life on planets beyond our own.

Rattlesnakes, beware! The next time you spot a succulent-looking squirrel, it might actually be a cold-hearted robot. More specifically, it might be a "robosquirrel," created by UC Davis professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering Sanjay Joshi. He built the robot squirrels as part of a study on rattlesnake behavior – a study which yielded some interesting results. Read More
Head patch measures blood flow in stroke patients' brains
Approximately one third of stroke patients experience another stroke while they're still in the hospital. Nurses therefore keep a close eye on them, and arrange for them to be taken for tests if a subsequent stroke is suspected. Unfortunately these tests can be invasive, and in some cases are even potentially harmful to the patient. A new device being developed at the Mayo Clinic in Florida, however, could watch for strokes simply by shining light onto a patient's forehead. Read More
Researchers at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) have conducted initial testing of a new "smart" plastic material which may bring about new uses in medicine for near-infrared light (NIR). According to early experiments, the plastic material will break down into non-toxic particles in response to lower-power NIR. This may lead to improved treatment of, for example, tumors, or improvements in the release of tracing compounds and imaging agents for improved medical diagnostics applications. Read More
It's sadly ironic that the very properties which make our skulls such excellent brain protectors, strength and rigidity, often work against us after head injuries. Not only does the hard bone conceal damage from concussions and bleeding, say, but it also confines the swelling, causing intra-cranial pressure to surge, a situation that can lead to further brain damage. While CT scans and magnetic resonance imaging systems are crucial to an accurate assessment, they are rarely available to emergency medical personnel at remote accident sites or on the battlefield. To help address the need for rapid and timely diagnosis of head traumas, separate research teams at the U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the Office of Naval Research (ONR) have each developed hand-held devices that use Near Infra-Red (NIR) imaging to quickly detect hematomas (internal bleeding) and other life-threatening traumatic brain injury (TBI).

While "toy" robots such as WowWee's Robosapien already have some pretty impressive capabilities, they can now do even more ... if they have a Brainlink module installed. Brainlink is made by BirdBrain Technologies, which is a Carnegie Mellon University spin-off company. When attached to an existing infrared remote-controlled household robot, it will add a built-in light sensor and accelerometer to that device's quiver, along with the possibility of various other user-supplied sensors that can be plugged into its input ports. The Bluetooth-equipped Brainlink also allows robots to be controlled via the user's laptop or Android smartphone, which opens up all sorts of possibilities. Read More
Plane-mounted camera detects hazardous volcanic ash in the air
A new invention out of Norway promises to keep the skies of the world open. When a volcano in Iceland erupted in 2010, it spewed out invisible clouds of ash that spread across Europe–effectively shutting down all civilian and military air traffic, stranding millions of people and costing the world economy billions of dollars. Now, a new camera has been developed that will allow pilots to see and avoid volcanic dust clouds, making similar eruptions in the future much less disruptive. Read More
World's largest submillimeter camera set to probe outer space
Although it might sound like an oxymoron, the newly unveiled SCUBA-2 camera housed at the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope (JCMT) on Mauna Kea, Hawaii, is the world's largest submillimeter camera. Submillimeter refers not to the physical size of the new camera itself, but to the submillimeter waveband between the far-infrared and microwave wavebands that the telescope observes. Being far more sensitive and powerful than its predecessor, SCUBA-2 will be able to map areas of the sky faster than ever before and provide information about the early life of stars, planets and galaxies.

Besides surgery, chemotherapy and radiation are the foundation of modern day cancer treatment. Although effective, these therapies often have debilitating and damaging side effects.

So, by those standards, I'm expecting Fin's jersey retirement announcement soon?
Honestly, Bure was touted a superstar in the NHL for a reason....and you're right....it wasn't for any off ice contributions that he was making. Leaving only his brilliance on ice to capture that status, right? People can say what they want (although, none of us really has the full, behind the scenes story), but there is NO denying his talent. Anyone trying to do that just makes themself look foolish. He is truly deserving of the recognition he's currently getting. And to suggest he "liked" being a superstar completely goes against his actions. He hated the fishbowl and that was no secret. He also has moved off into obscurity vs sticking on the scene flogging himself, which also proves his desire for privacy and to simply lead his life. Nothing wrong with that.....
I don't know how many times it has to be said Deb, NOBODY is questioning Bure's talent. The question is: is talent enough to retire his number. If your answer is yes then I'll make a case for Luongo.
Six seasons with the franchise
2 Vezina Nominations (2007, 2011)
1 Hart Nomination (2007)
1 Pearson nomination (2007)
1 Jennings Trophy Win (2011)
1 Mark Messier Leadership Award (2007)
That's more league wide elite level recognition as a Canuck than Bure had in his entire NHL career.
Canuck Goaltending Records:
Most career wins franchise
Most shutouts franchise
Most games played single season
Most wins single season
Most shutouts single season
Longest shoutout streak
Most playoff wins in one playoffs (tied Maclean)
Most shutout in one playoffs (tied Maclean)
Most shots faced in a playoff game
Most saves in a playoff game
My knock on Luongo: Without a Stanley Cup victory on his resume he wasn't here long enough. But based on the above, if Bure's number is retired, then Loungo's has to be as well.

HARROWING! IT APPROACHES! MWUAHAHAHAHAHA! I'm definitely looking to this year's line-up of Harrowing-themed skins. Hopefully we get some love for all those champs that haven't received a third skin. A man can dream, though. A man can dream. If you have no idea on what I'm writing about: http://na.leagueoflegends.com/board/...d.php?t=292040 It's League of Legends' version of Halloween! We got some cool (and limited) content that patch. http://na.leagueoflegends.com/board/...d.php?t=293327 Also, have a look at last year's Harrowing-themed skin line-up: http://na.leagueoflegends.com/board/...d.php?t=297326 HOLY MOLY! 4 Skins! RIOT DELIVERS! Unfortunately, after today's announcement, (or lack thereof), both of Lee Sin's skins have become "unofficially" blacklisted. A double whammy of the bad kind. Oh, and Pharaoh Nasus turns 11 months old, without ever gong on sale. Yay? EDIT: I have updated my post by attaching the links to words... Sorry if I completely butchered the actual phrase. My internet speak is quite rusty. *** Updating the Skin Sale Checklist. Originally Created by Shingo Monster: ([url2="http://na.leagueoflegends.com/board/showthread.php?t=1081668"]6th post[/url2]) Edited and Modified by Coreporeal. *** PLEASE TAKE NOTICE: This post is meant to inform potential skin buyers of the possibility of recently released skins that may be appearing in an upcoming sale. Newly released skins could go sale as early as three months after public release, but this is subject to change. It's safe to assume that all skins released before April 12th(?) have received a sale prior to this one. With this in mind, the next sale may (possibly) contain at least 1 skin from the list below. ■ Apr 12: Apocalyptic Brand (975 RP), Vandal Brand (975 RP), Gragas, Esq (975 RP), Time Machine Zilean (520 RP). ■ Apr 19: Battleborn Kayle (975 RP), Cottontail Teemo (975 RP). ■ Apr 25: Fiddle Me Timbers (975 RP), Dreadknight Nasus (975 RP), Bilgerat Rumble (520 RP), Rumble in the Jungle (975 RP). ■ May 02: Nunu Bot (1820 RP). ■ May 10: Aristocrat Vayne (520 PR), Vindicator Vayne (975 PR), Lord Mordekaiser (975 PR), Jaximus (975 PR), Safari Caitlyn (975 PR). ■ May 16: Ninja Rammus (975 RP), High Noon Twisted Fate (975 RP). ■ May 24: Frostfire Annie (975 RP), Road Warrior Miss Fortune (520 RP). ■ June 01: Sewn Chaos Orianna (520 RP), Gothic Orianna (975 RP). ■ June 07: Blood Moon Akali (975 RP), Blood Moon Shen (975 RP). ■ June 17: Executioner Mundo (975 RP), Commando Lux (975 RP). ■ June 22: Undertaker Yorick (975 RP), Pentakill Yorick (975 RP). ■ June 27: Baron von Veigar (975 RP), Buccaneer Tristana (520 RP), Viking Tryndamere (975 RP). ■ July 13: Ravager Nocturne (520 RP), Harbinger Kassadin (975 RP), Valkyrie Leona (520 RP), Defender Leona (975 RP). ■ July 18: Warmonger Sion (975 RP), Little Knight Amumu (975 RP). ■ July 26: Bloodfury Renekton (520 RP), Darkforge Jarvan IV (975 RP), Volcanic Wukong (975 RP), General Wukong (975 RP). All skins NOT bolded or underlined have been placed on sale before, are currently on sale now or have just been announced to be going on sale in a couple of days. - Underlined: Skins that may never go on sale (Legendary or Limited like Riot Squad Singed and Gentleman Cho'Gath). - Bolded: Skins that will eventually go on sale; possibly soon. With this in mind, it is advisable that you don't buy these skins unless you really want them NOW. (If that's the case, don't complain if you bought it and it happens to go on sale shortly afterwards). ~~~ (?) - Riot's "Unofficial" Skin Sale Blacklist These are the only skins that have been absent from any sales since their introduction during Season 1. Skins to be considered to be "blacklisted" have been released to the public for more than six months, and as of yet have not been featured on a sale. The reason for this is, as of yet, unknown. ■ Nov. 2nd, 2010: Pharaoh Nasus (975 RP). ■ Dec. 14th, 2010: Siren Cassiopeia (975 RP). ■ Jan. 18th, 2011: Commando Galio (975 RP). ■ Feb. 1st, 2011: Sun Goddess Karma (975 RP). ■ Mar. 1st, 2011: Hextech Anivia (975 RP). ■ Mar. 21st, 2011: Marble Malphite (520 RP). ■ Mar. 29th, 2011: Workshop Shaco (975 RP). ■ Apr. 1st, 2011: Traditional Lee Sin (520 RP), Acolyte Lee Sin (975 RP). ~~~ To view the skins you want before purchasing, along with other info, please visit the links below.

Item # EXPA4203 |
New for 2014! The innovative Exped SynMat UL Duo 7 inflatable sleeping pad offers FlatValve technology, ultra-lightweight construction and baffled air chambers provide comfort for two sleepers at less than 4 pounds!
The SynMat UL Duo 7 employs baffled air chambers with sturdy I-beam baffles to provide 2.8" of comfortable support. High-performance fabric is airtight and slip proof and offers both UV and abrasion resistance. A layer of microfiber insulation is laminated to the bottom and top of each baffled air chamber to provide maximum warmth and loft. The combined thickness of the SynMat UL Duo 7 and the insulation lend the pad an R-value of 3.1.
Glues used in sleeping pad construction are often broken down by moisture but Exped's proprietary fabric lamination process creates air tight baffles and prevents moisture build up in the pad from destroying these glues, resulting in no loss of air over time. Another stand out feature of the SynMat UL Duo 7 is FlatValve construction. Separate valves for inflation and deflation offer a high volume of airflow in and out of the pad making inflating and deflating the pad fast and easy. Many inflatable sleeping pads fail due to their valve construction, but Exped's FlatValve technology eliminates the stiff edge commonly found around traditional valves. This results in lasting, durable valve construction for the life of the pad. The pad can be inflated by mouth or with the included Schnozzel Pumpbag. Why fuss with blowing up the pad manually when you can let the pump do the work for you?
The Exped SynMat UL Duo 7 measures in at 77.5" x 49" and is compatible with Exped's DreamWalker Duo sleeping bag (sold separately), which are ideal for couples. A stuff sack and repair kit are included.
Exped part number: 32205299
The innovative Exped SynMat UL 7 sleeping pad offers flat valve technology, ultralight construction and baffled air chambers for superior comfort and 3-season performance at less than 2 pounds.
An amazing combination of warmth and packability, the Exped DownMat UL 7 inflatable pad allows even ounce-counting backpackers to enjoy comfort in all 4-seasons. High-performance insulation provides the pad with a warm R-value of 5.9.
The innovative Exped SynMat UL 9 inflatable sleeping pad offers FlatValve technology, ultra-lightweight construction and baffled air chambers for superior comfort and 4-season performance at less than 2 pounds!
New for 2014! The self-inflating Exped SIM Comfort Duo 5 sleeping pad delivers year-round camping comfort for two sleepers. Measuring 77.5" x 52" x 2", the SIM Comfort Duo 5 is ready for use at the campground or anywhere you need a portable bed.
New for 2014! The self-inflating Exped SIM Comfort Duo 7.5 sleeping pad delivers 4-season performance for two sleepers. Measuring 77.5" x 52" x 3", the SIM Comfort Duo 7.5 is ready for use at the campground or anywhere you need a portable bed.
Zoomify would go here, or a larger image... This is a temporary placeholder... The settup of this may change depending on whether we are in fact using Zoomify.
Rotate SWF would go here... Greg will reconfigure this after we have an actual example. This is just a place holder.

In a kaleidoscopic narrative, bestselling author David Talbot recounts the gripping story of San Francisco in the turbulent years between 1967 and 1982--and of the extraordinary men and women who led to the city's ultimate rebirth and triumph. Season of the Witch is the first book to fully capture the dark magic of San Francisco in this breathtaking period, when the city radically changed itself--and then revolutionized the world. The cool gray city of love was the epicenter of the 1960s cultural revolution. But by the early 1970s, San Francisco's ecstatic experiment came crashing down from its starry heights. The city was rocked by savage murder sprees, mysterious terror campaigns, political assassinations, street riots, and finally a terrifying sexual epidemic. No other city endured so many calamities in such a short time span. |

EVERETT, Wash. – Air Force One today made a rare return to the factory and airfield of its birth, ferrying President Obama to Paine Field, home of U.S. plane maker Boeing.
"I want to thank all of you for also giving me a pretty smooth ride," Obama told a crowd of several hundred workers inside an aircraft assembly facility here – the largest building in the world.
"As some of you may know, Air Force One was built right here in Everett 25 years ago. In fact, one of my guys that I met during the tour worked on the plane. So I told him he did a pretty good job. It's flying smooth," he said.
The specially outfitted 747-200B was assembled and tested for flight in 1990 before entering official service under President George H.W. Bush, according to the company.
Its first flight Sept. 6, 1990, took Bush from Washington, D.C., to Kansas, Florida and back to Washington.
"President Bush proudly gave some reporters a tour during the first flight, showing off features unimaginable on earlier aircraft: beds in the forward cabin, a fully-equipped hospital bay and a presidential bathroom with twin sinks and a full shower stall," said ABC News' Ann Compton, who was aboard the maiden voyage.
"Reporters were just glad to finally have first class-sized seats instead of narrow coach seats for long international flights," she added.
The plane's 4,000 square feet include a conference-dining room, quarters for the president and two kitchens capable of churning out 100 meals at once, according to the company.
The aircraft also has top secret security and communications technologies and the ability to be refueled in flight, making it truly a traveling White House. The government owns two of the planes – tail numbers 28000 and 29000 – rotating them in and out of service to allow for regular maintenance.
As for the colors, powder blue and white, they were selected by first lady Jacqueline Kennedy for the first presidential jet (a Boeing 707) in 1962 and continued ever since.
The last sitting president to visit the Boeing headquarters was Bill Clinton in 1993.

New Movie Reviews: Foxcatcher, Leviathan, and Amira & Sam Planning a trip to the local multiplex this weekend? Here are DVD Talk's reviews of the latest theatrical releases: Foxcatcher - this picture relating the true history of Olympic athlete brothers Mark & David Schultza is great film whose story was portrayed by amazing actors; Leviathan (2014) - Director Andrey Zvyagintsev's latest film earned a Golden Globe Award and an Oscar nomination for Best Foreign Language Film... hopefully that will get as many eyes on it as possible since it deserves to be seen en masse; and Amira & Sam - in this romantic comedy writer/director Sean Mullin has crafted a pair of tremendously convincing characters that will surely resonate with audiences. Other recent films include: American Sniper, Inherent Vice, Into the Woods, The Imitation Game, Selma, Wild, The Babadook, The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part I, Big Hero 6, Interstellar, The Theory of Everything, Birdman, Dracula Untold, Gone Girl. . Check out these, and more, in DVDTalk's Theatrical Review section. TV on DVD: You're The Worst, Stingray, and Young Justice: Invasion Some great TV shows have made their way onto DVD this week including: You're The Worst: The Complete First Season - This show is just pure fun to watch. The cast is smart and appealing. The humor is edgy and often tasteless, but this is a show that embraces sitcom formula as much as it subverts it; Stingray: The Complete Series - a Gerry Anderson "Supermarionation" show has imaginative sets, cool model work, and agreeably surrealistic situations that all combine for a fun program; and Young Justice: Invasion - this show is an incredible piece of art that was criminally cancelled before its time... it is chock full of excellently developed characters, terrific animation, fluid action sequences and the series has a wonderful story that is built up well throughout the 20 episodes. Other shows recently reviewed include: Big Driver, Back In The Game: The Complete First Season, and The Mentalist: Season 6. Want more? Check out all of the TV on DVD reviews in the DVD Talk database. DVD Savant: The Bride Wore Black, World for Ransom, and Breaking Away This week the DVD Savant has a number of new reviews and articles including: The Bride Wore Black -François Truffaut's 'Hitchcock' picture really goes in its own direction to tell a stylized tale of cold revenge; World for Ransom - Robert Aldrich's first independent feature is a real mess cobbled out of the availability of the crew, star and studio set of a low-budg TV show, given a terrific premise (and title) but with real problems in the script and production department; and Breaking Away - Peter Yates's story of working-class high school graduates in a university town is a crowd-pleaser that plays even better now than it did in 1979. Read all this and more in this week's DVD Savant. This Week's Notable Releases: Fury, Art and Craft, and Open Windows This week several great movies are coming out, including a few that shouldn't be missed: Fury [review] -the most intense high-quality WW2 combat film in fifteen years... battle-scarred tank commander Brad Pitt leads his tough crew through three horrendous combat actions in one day; Art and Craft [review] - this interesting documentary tells the story of Mark Landis, a diagnosed schizophrenic who creates convincing counterfeit artwork and, posing as any number of fictional identities (including a Jesuit priest), donates said pieces to nationally recognized art galleries; and Open Windows [review] - Nacho Vigalondo's film takes the modern age's infatuation with celebrity and our current tendency to essentially want to live online and uses that to pull us into an interesting and suspenseful story . Be sure to check out our DVD Talk Review Database for all the latest reviews including an entire section devoted to reviews of DVDs out this week. Recent Reviews: My Left Foot, The Russians Are Coming The Russians Are Coming, and The Zero Theorem Check out the latest reviews that have been entered into the DVD Talk Review Database including: My Left Foot - this film is outstanding... Daniel Day-Lewis won his first Academy Award for his portrayal of real-life artist and writer Christy Brown who suffered from severe cerebral palsy; The Russians Are Coming The Russians Are Coming - a vastly underrated movie that's never truly received credit for all that it is; and The Zero Theorem - Terry Gilliam's film is the work of a veteran artist who blends wondrous visuals with outstanding performances to create a memorable movie. Other recent reviews include: Genesis: Three Sides Live, The Bride Wore Black, and Kill the Messenger. Visit the DVD Talk Review Database for all the latest reviews including an entire section devoted to reviews of DVDs out this week. TV on DVD: Young Justice, Getting On, and Girls Interested in the latest TV on DVD reviews? DVD Talk has you covered! This week's notable entries include: Young Justice: Season 1 - The show is chock full of excellently developed characters, terrific animation, fluid action sequences and the series has a wonderful story that is built up extremely well throughout the 26 episodes; Getting On: The Complete First Season - a good show with a strong atmosphere and a great cast, and there's a sense that the writers are really hitting their stride just as the first season draws to a close; and Girls: The Complete Third Season - a program that is consistently funny, smart, awkward, touching, relatable, frustrating, and, above all, entertaining. Other shows recently reviewed include: ThunderCats: The Complete Series, Fairy Tail: Part 14, and Mind Games: The Complete First Season. Want more? Check out all of the TV on DVD reviews in the DVD Talk database. DVD Savant: 52 Pick-Up, The Night Porter, and Bloody Sunday This week the DVD Savant has a number of new reviews and articles including: 52 Pick-Up - Powerhouse director John Frankenheimer takes on Elmore Leonard's dark, dark tale of a philandering businessman (Roy Scheider) blackmailed by sleazy crooks from the porn industry; The Night Porter - It sounds like 'Nazista' trash -- an ex-concentration camp victim re-ignites an insane sadomasochistic relationship with her former captor, a sadistic SS officer -- but it's actually a reasoned examination of the sexual politics of Fascism done with class and taste; and Bloody Sunday - Before his Hollywood success writer-director Paul Greenglass took the big prize at Sundance with this convincing, compelling docudrama recreation of the 1972 Bloody Sunday Massacre in Derry, Northern Ireland.

Most published and online maps fall into four categories:
Navigation maps, including topographic maps and nautical and aeronautical charts
Geophysical maps, that show the structure and dynamics of earth, oceans and atmosphere
Location maps, that depict the locations and names of physical features
Thematic maps, that portray attribute data about locations and features
Although online maps often combine these categories in new and unexpected ways, published maps and atlases tend to respect them.
Thematic maps tend to be more highly stylized than other types of maps and frequently omit locational information such as place names, physical features, coordinate grids, and map scales. This is because rather than showing physical features on the ground, such as shorelines, roads, settlements, topography, and vegetation, a thematic map displays quantified facts (a "theme"), such as statistics for a region or sets of regions. Examples include the locations of traffic accidents in a city, or election results by state. Thematic maps have a wide vocabulary of cartographic symbols, such as point symbols, dot distributions, "quiver" vectors, isolines, colored zones, raised prisms, and continuous 3-D surfaces. Mapping Toolbox™ functions can generate most of these types of map symbology.
The most familiar form of thematic map is probably the choropleth map (from the Greek choros, for place, and plethos, for magnitude). Choropleth maps use colors or patterns to represent attributes associated with certain geographic regions. For example, the global distribution of malaria-carrying mosquitoes can be illustrated in a choropleth map, with the habitat of each mosquito represented by a different color. In this example, colors are used to represent nominal data; the categories of mosquitoes have no inherent ranking. If the data is ordinal, rather than nominal, the map may contain a colorbar with shades of colors representing the ranking. For instance, a map of crime rates in different areas could show high crime areas in red, lower crime areas in pink, and lowest crime areas in white.
Creating choropleth maps with the Mapping Toolbox is fairly straightforward. Start with a geographic data structure; create a symbolspec to map attribute values to face colors; and apply either geoshow or mapshow, depending on whether you are working with latitude-longitude or pre-projected map coordinates. The following example illustrates the process of creating a choropleth map of population density for the six New England states in the year 2000.
Set the map limits for the New England region. Import low-resolution U.S. state boundary polygons:
MapLatLimit = [41 48]; MapLonLimit = [-74 -66]; NEstates = shaperead('usastatelo', 'UseGeoCoords', true, ... 'BoundingBox', [MapLonLimit' MapLatLimit']);
Set up map axes with a projection suitable to display the New England states:
axesm('MapProjection', 'eqaconic', 'MapParallels', [],... 'MapLatLimit', MapLatLimit, 'MapLonLimit', MapLonLimit,... 'GLineStyle', '-')
Display the New England states:
geoshow(NEstates, 'DisplayType', 'polygon', 'FaceColor','green')
Identify the maximum population density for New England states:
maxdensity = max([NEstates.PopDens2000]);
Create an autumn colormap for the six New England states, and then use the flipud command to invert the matrix.
fall = flipud(autumn(numel(NEstates)));
Make a symbol specification structure, a symbolspec, that assigns an autumn color to each polygon according to the population density.
densityColors = makesymbolspec('Polygon', {'PopDens2000', ... [0 maxdensity], 'FaceColor', fall});
Display the map.
geoshow(NEstates, 'DisplayType', 'polygon', ... 'SymbolSpec', densityColors) title ({'Population Density in New England in 2000', ... 'in Persons per Square Mile'})
Create a colorbar.
caxis([0 maxdensity]) colormap(fall) colorbar
Experiment with other colormaps. Some names of predefined colormaps are autumn, cool, copper, gray, pink, and jet.
In addition to choropleth maps, other Mapping Toolbox display and symbology functions include
Function | Used For |
Traces (animates) vectors slowly from a comet head | |
Traces (animates) vectors in 3-D slowly from a comet head | |
Plots directed vectors in 2-D from specified latitudes and longitudes with lengths also specified as latitudes and longitudes | |
Plots directed vectors in 3-D from specified latitudes, longitudes, and altitudes with lengths also specified as latitudes and longitudes and altitudes | |
Draws fixed or proportional symbol maps for each point in a vector with specified marker symbol. Similar maps can be generated using geoshow and mapshow using appropriate symbol specifications ("symbolspecs"). | |
Projects a 3-D stem plot map on the current map axes |
The cometm and quiverm functions operate like their MATLAB® counterparts comet and quiver. The stem3m function allows you to display geographic bar graphs. Like the MATLAB scatter function, the scatterm function allows you to display a thematic map with proportionally sized symbols. The tissot function calculates and displays Tissot Indicatrices, which graphically portray the shape distortions of any map projection. For more information on these capabilities, consult the descriptions of these functions in the reference pages.
Stem plots are 3-D geographic bar graphs portraying numeric attributes at point locations, usually on vector base maps. Below is an example of a stem plot over a map of the continental United States. The bars could represent anything from selected city populations to the number of units of a product purchased at each location:
Contour and quiver plots can be useful in analyzing matrix data. In the following example, contour elevation lines have been drawn over a topographical map. The region displayed is the Gulf of Mexico, obtained from the topo matrix. Quiver plots have been added to visualize the gradient of the topographical matrix.
Here is the displayed map:
The scatterm function plots symbols at specified point locations, like the MATLAB scatter function. If the symbols are small and inconspicuous and do not vary in size, the result is a dot-distribution map. If the symbols vary in size and/or shape according to a vector of attribute values, the result is a proportional symbol map.

Not only is the Jinju Lantern Festival on right now but there is also a Drama Festival. The Korea Drama Awards were also held and we decided to go check it out. We didn't expect to see anyone but we happened to see the red carpet. We filmed what we could for all you Korean drama fanatics out there. You can also see what it's like to be in the crowd at a red carpet event like this and how many people there are.
And here is the vlog of the day on our vlogging channel.
by Nic • Film and TV shows • Tags: english mistakes, futurama, future lama, future llama, mr gwon, my korean husband
Or "80's Dance Party Llama" judging from that picture. R and L is the same letter in Korean so it's not surprising that he made that mistake. It's just hilarious that he wrote it as two separate words and made it sound like a space-age llama.
Continuing on from the theme of yesterday about TV shows I really like and grew up with but he is less familiar with – he is probably more familiar with Futurama than The Simpsons and has watched a lot of it with me.
by Nic • Film and TV shows, Random silly • Tags: mockingjay, mr gwon, my korean husband, the hunger games, the monkey king
Okay I had my "man boob" mistake but now it's his turn with thinking the new Hunger Games movie was called "The Monkey King". He thought there would be a lot of monkeys in it…
I'm sorry there wasn't a comic yesterday, I was busy finishing a painting for a commission. I posted it on the social media here.
by Nic • Film and TV shows, K-pop • Tags: bobby, bobby show me the money, mr gwon and bobby, my korean husband, yg bobby
We've seen this happen before right? He will be really disdainful about something I like, sometimes even making fun of me. And then at some point he realises actually it's really good! Then he starts liking it even more than me.
He was really dismissive when I was watching 'WIN: Who is next?' last year. For those that don't know, that TV show was YG Entertainment trainees put into 2 teams to compete against each other. The winning team became WINNER, the group who have just debuted. Bobby was in Team B which is the team that didn't win. So I've liked him since then, but Mr Gwon has suddenly become a fan since he has been on 'Show Me the Money'. He didn't care about him at first because like others, he just dismissed him as an Kpop idol who can't rap…….but he was wrong.
He listens to his songs from Show Me the Money over and over again. Like so much that I'm kinda sick of them now.
by Nic • Film and TV shows, Food • Tags: italian food in korea, mr gwon, my korean husband, the fault in our stars, worst pasta ever
He was referencing a quote in the book and movie 'The Fault in Our Stars'. I dragged him to see it because I've been waiting so long to see it (Korea got it so late) but of course he loved it!
Now onto terrible Korean pasta. We've been a little bit spoilt. We found an awesome pizza and pasta place in Jinju, so after going there a few times we forgot how bad most Italian food in Korea is. We didn't have time to go across town to the good Italian place so we tried a new place. Most Italian food places in Korea have crappy Koreanized pasta – but some are not too bad. I can stomach it as long as it's pasta. This was horrendous though! I posted a few photos on Instagram for those that want to get an idea about what I mean. I asked for some salt and pepper to try and make the plastic pasta taste better and the waitress was very confused and finally brought me a 2 plates with a pile of cooking salt and pepper on them. We both felt sick afterwards. Mr Gwon even said that he could easily make better pasta than this place and he isn't even very good at cooking. Not only was it terrible because it was nothing like Italian food at all, but whatever type of fusion they were trying to achieve failed miserably. We laughed through our tears. I actually really hope that place shuts down so other people aren't subjected to that. It's likely to simply because businesses spring up quickly in Korea with not much planning or research and shut down again quickly. Nothing is very long term.
Actually I was very homesick today, which is why there wasn't a comic earlier. That pasta just made me feel a lot worse. The Fault in Our Stars didn't make me feel worse though! Of course it made me feel sad, but it made me feel better about things.
by Nic • Film and TV shows • Tags: korean americans in korean dramas, korean dramas, korean tv, my korean husband, problem with korean dramas
I love Korean dramas but this is a pet peeve of mine. They will have a character who is supposed to be Korean American arrive in Korea and this person has either not been in Korea since they were a child OR have never been to Korea! But they have a Korean Korean actor play them and there is almost no reference to the cultural and language problems they would likely have. Apparently it's cool to have a Korean American character but lazy writers won't give them any more character development. Or even let a Korean American play the character. Koreans that grew up in other countries need better representation in dramas. I've seen lots of Korean Americans, or Korean Australians etc, talk about how difficult it can be to come to Korea. People can usually recognise that they didn't grow up in Korea just by how they look. I've heard them be called, "dark-haired foreigners" because so much about them can be different. But at the same time they may not be allowed the same understanding an obviously foreign looking person gets when it comes to fitting into society because they still look Korean enough.
And then there are always the terrible scenes where this actor has to speak English and is supposed to be fluent…
And why are they always from the USA? Why can't there be Korean Australians? Or from other countries? And in dramas when someone leaves Korea, why do they always go to the USA? And what about visas???
The reality is that even Koreans that go live in another country for just a few years can have difficulties coming back to Korea. Every time we came back to Korea my husband had some difficulties. Now, because we have been here for 6 months, he has settled back into Korean life but he still has lived the majority of his life here. Even then, having lived in another country for a while, some of his core views have changed and he doesn't always accept everything in Korean society.
Does this type of thing in dramas frustrate you as well? What sort of story-lines involving Koreans from other countries would you like to see?

So tempting! But we resisted temptation and went to bed so we haven't seen the latest episode yet. It can be really hard to find time to watch things together.

And that's why I had to finish my comic this morning!
I'm watching I need Romance 3 at the moment and I'm enjoying it so much. Especially after the terrible kissing in The Heirs! So nice to watch a drama with real kissing instead of the standing still with eyes wide open…..ugh… hate that so much.
by Nic • Film and TV shows • Tags: cyberman, doctor who, my korean husband
His love for Doctor Who has faded a bit since Matt Smith left. I'm still excited to see what the new episodes are going to be like though.
by Nic • Film and TV shows • Tags: korean dramas, korean husband, my korean husband, watching korean dramas
He doesn't watch that many dramas. If he watches one it tends to be a more serious one, whereas I tend to watch the romantic popular ones. I do like watching dramas with him but there are only certain dramas he will watch with me and even then it takes some persuasion. We watched A Gentleman's Dignity and Reply 1997 together and are making our way through Reply 1994. Dramas like City Hunter he gave up on because of the romance.
That's why it's so funny that he is getting emotionally involved in these dramas that his parents watch in the evening. They are completely cliche soap operas but he watches them every night. Last night he got into a heated argument with his father about the characters…

We've really been enjoying the drama Reply 1994 (Answer Me 1994) but I don't think my husband was as cool as he thought he was back in his teen years…

No spoilers in the comments please.
Yup, this is his latest obsession. I was going to draw him just dancing around and singing but he insisted I draw him as Anna.
It's really popular in Korea actually!
