'Lil Poopy' is a 9 year old rapper and self proclaimed 'coke boy', but his rap career might not make it very far now since his parents have been charged with abuse.
I think every kid has had the thought of calling 911 on their parents but this 10 year old boy was brave enough to actually call over his bedtime. I know plenty of times I heard my mother says, "You better not call 911 on me unless I'm killing you." Well, if I were this ten year old boy, I would have gotten a whopping that seemed like a killing.
Officials have not yet confirmed whether the body found in a Big Bear, California, cabin was that of accused cop-killer Christopher Dorner.
Police officers responding to a call end up slapping and pinning down the U.S solider that called them in the first place.
This is where police get the bad rep. Your position as a police officer is to protect and serve. Not to intimidate and harass.

Socially rejected employees often strike back
Researchers found that people who feel socially rejected are more likely to see others' actions as hostile and are more likely to behave with hostility toward people they've never met. The study was carried out by researchers at the University of Kentucky and published in the January issue of the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology.
Study participants completed a personality test and were given bogus feedback about the results. A third of the participants were told the results suggested they would probably end up alone later in life. Researchers then asked this group to read a personal essay supposedly written by another participant. Participants who'd been told they would live a lonely life perceived the author's actions as hostile and gave a more negative reaction than those in the control groups.
In another experiment, researchers told some participants they'd live a lonely life, then they asked them to participate in a reaction-time computer game against an unseen opponent. During the game, the loser of each trial was forced to listen to white noise, the intensity level and duration of which was set by the winner. Those told they'd live a lonely life set the white noise at a higher level than those in a control group.
So what does this mean for your practice? Encouraging team members to communicate openly with each other can lead to a more harmonious, focused practice. Strive to squash conflicts before they get out of hand and encourage team members to avoid gossiping. Running a practice is a team effort, so make sure all employees are working toward the same goal.

Audiobooks for your listening pleasure.
Written by Anne Fortier; narrated by Cassandra Campbell.
When Julie's beloved aunt dies, the only thing she receives is a key—one carried by her mother on the day she herself died—to a safety-deposit box in Siena, Italy. This key sends Julie on a journey that will change her life forever—a journey into the troubled past of her ancestor Guiletta Tolomei. In 1340 Guiletta was smuggled into Siena, where she met a young man named Romeo. But six centuries have a way of catching up to the present and Julie begins to discover that here, in this ancient city, the past and present are hard to tell apart. The deeper she delves into the history of Romeo and Giulietta, and the closer she gets to the treasure they allegedly left behind, the greater the danger surrounding her.
From Anne Fortier comes a sweeping, beautifully written novel of intrigue and identity, of love and legacy, as a young woman discovers that her own fate is irrevocably tied—for better or worse—to literature's greatest star-crossed lovers.
|Physick Book of Deliverance Dane
Written by Katherine Howe; narrated by Katherine Kellgren.
Harvard graduate student Connie Goodwin needs to spend her summer doing research for her doctoral dissertation. But when her mother asks her to handle the sale of Connie's grandmother's abandoned home near Salem, she can't refuse. Connie discovers an ancient key with a seventeenth-century Bible. The key contains a yellowing fragment of parchment with a name written on it: Deliverance Dane.
This discovery launches Connie on a quest—to find out who this woman was and to unearth a rare artifact of singular power: a physic book, its page a secret repository for lost knowledge. Written with astonishing conviction and grace, the Physick Book of Deliverance Dane travels seamlessly between the witch trials of the 1690s and a modern woman's story of mystery, intrigue, and revelation.
Written by Tatiana de Rosnay; narrated by Polly Stone.
Paris, July 1942: Sarah, a ten-year-old girl, is taken with her parents by the French police as they go door-to-door arresting Jewish families in the middle of the night. Desperate to protect her younger brother, Sarah locks him in a bedroom cupboard—their secret hiding place—and promises to come back for him as soon as they are released.
Sixty years later: Sarah's story intervenes with that of Julia Jarmond, an American journalist investigating the roundup. In her research, Julia stumbles onto a trail of secrets that link her to Sarah, and to questions about her own romantic future. Pivotal to this novel is the key in ten-year-old Sarah's pocket. It opens the cupboard in which she has hidden her younger brother from the French police. In Sarah's Key, Tatiana de Rosnay offers up a mesmerizing story in which a tragic past unfolds, the present is torn apart, and the future is irrevocably altered.
"Excellent" I cried.
Of us not with us
by Randy Christensen, MD
At the time of year when most Americans are celebrating, take a few moments to consider those who may not be so very fortunate. More than 1.5 million children in this nation are now homeless. In Florida, there are 85,000 homeless students. A doctor who started a mobile clinic to help street children has written a book that gives insight into the problems these children face and the people who are dedicated to helping them.
In Ask Me Why I Hurt, Randy Christensen takes his pediatrician practice to the streets with a Winnebago RV refitted as a doctor's office to treat homeless children and adolescents. With optimism and humor, he tends to the most vulnerable, forgotten, abused, and neglected of these children of the streets. One patient, Dr. Randy describes, is an abused teen living in a storm drain. Her story of survival and triumph when she graduates from college will fill you with hope.
Dr. Christiansen says he wrote Ask Me Why I Hurt to tell these children's stories. He believes that anyone can make a difference. He also echoes a statement I have heard from those who help the less fortunate. You feel incredibly blessed when you help others.

Which ship should I buy?

That is a kinda of vague question. We do not know your Toon's Specialization nor do we know your "play style".
I hear lots of disagrrements in the Forums regarding the Dreadnought. Some say it is a disappointment, others swear by it. I do not own one so cannot speak to that ship, either way.
I do own the Tactical Oddy and the Tactical Vesta. I love both ships equally, but I cannot fly them the same way in combat for obvious reason. They have strengths and weakness each.
I honestly am on my Escort Carrier "kick" right now.

Posters were made as part of the Rachel's Challenge Kick off.
Forte's Rachel's Challenge Kick-off Event was held 8/28/2014 with all 445 students in the gym. We began with a powerful video of the events that happened at Columbine and the life and mission of Rachel Scott. We talked about the new club we are starting called Friends of Rachel (FOR) Club that work within the school to promote kindness and compassion, as well as lead service projects throughout the community. The kindness chain links were shown and excitement was generated about noticing these acts of kindness throughout the school. A second video was presented that challenged all students and staff to be kind for one minute a day, and it showed the impact it can make on a school. After this video, we asked our students to stand if they would commit to be being kind for one minute of every day throughout the school year. It was a chilling and proud moment to be in the gym with this great group of students when every student and faculty member stood to take on this challenge.
Forte is ready for Rachel's Challenge!

Why did you choose this product?
I have used this now for 2 years. Tent camping, beach house vacation, travel to visit my kids (no extra guest beds). It is performing very well. You do need to add air every few days. I try to remember to remove the batteries when not being used. Just like my flashlights....if you leave the batteries in when not in use, they do sometimes fail. I have another high rise airbed with the air pump built in. I like them both equally well. This is very easy to travel with. Good product for the price....

I try to remember to remove the batteries when not being used. Just like my flashlights....if you leave the batteries in when not in use, they do sometimes fail. I have another high rise airbed with the air pump built in. I like them both equally well. This is very easy to travel with. Good product for the price.Read More

They do not stay filled with air whether they have a kid on them, an adult on them, or are sitting in an empty room all day. I'm really disappointed that I thought we were buying a better mattress when we should have just gone to Walmart.Read More

Top 5 Reasons for Buying an Air Mattress
Air mattresses aren't what they used to be. Nowadays, air mattresses offer a slew of sleep-inducing features, like pillow tops, memory foam mattress pads and even built in MP3s, vastly improving on their giant-sized, pool-toy predecessors. As features improve, air mattresses, also known as air beds, are becoming more and more popular and are being used for a number of different functions, even in place of regular mattresses. Keep reading to find out the top five ways that you can get the most out of your air mattress.
What to Know about Air Mattresses
Don't let a lack of sleeping space keep you from hosting house guests, and don't let fear of discomfort keep you from choosing an air mattress.

How to Dry Foam Mattress Pads
On top of your current mattress, mattress pads add comfort without costing you a fortune. A new mattress pad will make your bed feel brand new and offer support that your bed may be lacking due to years of use. Foam mattress pads come in different sizes to fit different mattress sizes.

Read through this article to learn how to dry foam mattress pads.
Interesting Facts about Your Air Mattress
Air mattresses have come a long way from the simple blow-up air beds that took superhuman lung capacity to fill and often left guests sleeping miserably on a partially deflated plastic mat. From everyday uses like sleepovers and quick naps to special occasions like a remote camping getaway or out-of-town guests, air mattresses are now made to fit your lifestyle. They can stow away neatly or claim a permanent spot in your bedroom, but there are a few facts you may not know about the buoyant beds.
FAQs about Air Mattresses
When you have an air mattress on hand, you'll be prepared for a spur-of-the-moment camping trip or for unexpected overnight guests.

Best Sleeping Pads to Use with Sleeping Bags
If you dislike sleeping on the cold, hard ground, a sleeping pad underneath your sleeping bag can really save you a night of discomfort. A sleeping pad is also essential for keeping your sleeping bag protected when you're roughing it. When you're packing up your sleeping bag, tent and other camping gear, don't forget a sleeping pad to keep you comfortable in the great outdoors. There are three basic types of sleeping pads available for use with sleeping bags: air mattresses,, foam pads and self-inflating pads. The type of pad you'll need depends on what kind of camping you'll be doing and how much padding you prefer.
Camping Cots vs Air Beds
You're ready to take your first overnight camping trip but have no idea where you'll sleep. Camping adventures in the great outdoors can be exciting, but without a good night's sleep, you might wish you had stayed home. Cots and airbeds both add a lot of comfort and make it much easier to get good rest when camping. Deciding whether to purchase a camping cot or air bed is often a matter of simple preference, so consider these important factors to help you make a decision.

Best-selling Mattresses
There are basically three common types of mattresses used today: spring mattresses, memory foam mattresses, inflatable mattresses and feather beds. Each type has its own benefits. A mattress pad is a less expensive way to add comfort to your bed than purchasing a whole new mattress. With that said, if your mattress is lumpy or saggy, a mattress topper probably won't make much difference. If it is good, though, you have many different choices in material, price, and comfort. Whatever you get, just make sure you purchase the right size for your bed frame. Take a look below to learn more about the best-selling mattresses on the market.
How to Pick a Mattress for a Toddler
When your child moves out of her crib and into a toddler bed, the moment can be both exciting and scary for her. However, toddler beds use the same size mattress as cribs, so the transition shouldn't feel too extreme because you can use the familiar mattress that your child has been sleeping on. If you're shopping for new crib mattresses, consider these steps, so you will know how to pick a mattress for a toddler bed that will help your child's new bed feel cozy and secure.
How to Store an Air Mattress
Investing in comfortable and easy-to-store air beds means you'll always have a soft bed available. In addition, air beds are fantastic for camping, visiting friends or accommodating house guests. Additionally, if you have children, air beds are wonderful solutions for sleepovers. Air mattresses are typically made out of comfortable material, but you can add high-quality sheets, blankets and other bedding for an even more comfortable experience. Air mattresses should be stored properly when not in use. This will protect them from dirt and damage. Take a look below to learn how to store an air mattress.
How to Buy Sheets to Fit a Pillow-Top Mattress
Everyone knows that pillow-top mattresses are designed for additional softness and comfort. Due to the padding, pillow-top mattresses have more depth than regular mattresses. The height of the padding varies, but generally, manufacturers make pillow-top mattresses in depths varying from 7 to 22 inches. Specially made deep-pocket sheets for pillow-top mattresses are available; however, it is important to know the depth of your mattress before purchasing sheets. Here's how to buy the best sheets to fit your pillow-top mattress.
Best Pillow-top Mattresses for Back Pain
The key to a good night's sleep when you have chronic back pain is as simple as choosing a good pillow-top mattress. Choosing the best mattress involves knowledge of your personal needs and preferences. To get a comfortable night's sleep, start by choosing a pillow-top mattress made from the right materials for you. Next, choose your preferred thickness. Finally, have firm sleep support underneath the cushions of the pillow-top. Below, you'll learn the best pillow-top mattresses for back pain. Choose the materials: Pillow-top mattresses are made from a variety of materials, so choosing the one that is right for you can make all the difference in the world. People with muscle pain should consider down pillow-top mattresses, which provide a cocoon to sleep in. Those with back issues will generally prefer memory foam pillow-top mattresses, which conform to the body and offer consistent support to areas like the lower back. However, it is important to check the manufacturer's information regarding the recommended weight allowances for these types of pillow-tops. Consumers who are heavier than the recommendations may find that the pillow-top cushion compresses in uncomfortable ways, leaving the mattress lumpy. Determine the thickness: Pillow-top mattresses come in a variety of thicknesses, from just 2 inches to 8 or more inches deep. Like choosing the right materials for your pillow-top, choosing the right depth is vital to getting a good night's sleep. Thinner pillow-top mattresses will allow more of the support from the remainder of the mattress to come through and will not develop body indentations as pronounced as those in a deep pillow-top. Pillow-top mattresses that are too soft may fail to provide back support and cause an increase in back pain. However, deep pillow-top mattresses are excellent for customers who suffer from fibromyalgia or other chronic pain. Check the warranty: Just as you would with any other purchases of its size, check the warranty of your pillow-top mattress. Most manufacturers will provide limited, pro-rated replacement warranties for manufacturer's defects, and some will provide a "comfort guarantee." Others may have specific conditions that must be met in order to maintain the warranty, such as having a boxed spring by the same manufacturer. Take note of any special conditions for the warranty and keep the paperwork. View All Mattresses Back to Guides Directory View All Mattresses

One of my tilapia fillets has tiny little black threads in it- not sure what this is? Is it still safe to eat? It otherwise looks fine, doesn't smell, etc.
Contact the source where you bought it -- right away, if you haven't already. It's not getting better by itself, and probably it's nothing and you should just cook it up. If it's a problem, they should replace it.

I second the motion. I use a lot of tilapia, and I've never seen what you describe.

The Cruelty of a Cheeseburger
This week's Torah portion commands us to swear off cheeseburgers. Well not exactly. It was the rabbis that created the prohibition against mixing meat and milk products, but the foundation of the matter is indeed found in the Torah. Parshat Ki Tissa contains one of three instances in which the Bible warns us not to boil a kid in its mother's milk.
To understand the rationale behind the "cheeseburger clause," we may have to go back to the Book of Genesis. When Jacob, upon re-entering the Land of Israel after a prolonged absence, is brought word that his brother Esau is rapidly approaching accompanied by a band of 400 armed men, he is "greatly afraid and distressed". The Torah records his apprehension in a heart-rending prayer in which he turns to God and begs to be delivered "from the hand of Esau … lest he come and smite me, the mother with the children". Our forefather's greatest fear is that mother and child be killed together.
Another biblical source that highlights the same underlying sensitivity is found in the prophet Hoshea. In describing the horrors and wanton destruction brought about by war, he depicts it as a time "when the mothers were dashed to pieces with their young".
The Bible is keenly concerned to avoid the terrible tragedy feared by Ya'acov and described by Hoshea, and its spreads forth its mercy not only upon human beings but upon animals as well. The Book of Leviticus warns "whether it be a cow or a ewe, you shall not kill it and its young both in one day". In addition, the Book of Deuteronomy warns against plucking a mother bird from her nest together with her young. Rather we are commanded to send away the mother bird guarding her nest before one takes the eggs or the chicks. If you must take the young, then the mother bird is to be spared.
The illustrious Maimonides pinpoints the focus of the Torah's concern in both these cases on the suffering of the mother, who is forced to witness the demise of her progeny: He explains in his Guide to the Perplexed that "the prohibition of slaughtering the mother and her offspring on the same day is a safeguard, lest one come to kill the offspring in front of its mother". Similarly, in the case of the commandment to send away the mother bird guarding her nest before one takes the eggs or the chicks, he writes, "by doing so, her anguish is minimized when the eggs and chicks are taken away".
However, Maimonides' predecessor, the exegete and philosopher Rabbi Avraham Ibn Ezra, takes a slightly different tack. The objective, he seems to opine, is not so much to limit the emotional pain experienced by the mother bird as it is to prevent the development of moral callousness in the hearts and psyches of human beings.
That being the case, he connects the prohibition in this week's Torah reading against seething a calf in its mother's milk to this commandment concerning the mother bird. Both, as well as the prohibition against slaughtering the mother and its young on the same day, are fences against human cruelty. What could be more symbolic of the worst sort of cruelty than to take the mother's milk that was created to nurture and nourish the young animal, and to use it as an instrument of the youngster's destruction? What greater perversion could there be of the beneficent ways of the merciful God? As such, this precept comes to uplift and to sensitize, serving as another bulwark against the malignant cancer of callousness that is so likely to spread in the human soul as we engage in the slaughter of animals and the preparation of their flesh for our food.
No wonder, then, that our tradition built once fence after another, mandating the complete separation of meat and milk, in an effort to keep us forever distant from the cruelty of heart that would turn life giving milk into an agent of death. Yes indeed, there is much more to the great American cheeseburger than meets the eye.

Everyone Wants to Be Jewish. Why Stop Them?
Judaism is in fashion in the U.S.—and in Canada, too.
Non-Jews are happy to join Jewish families. Christian communities want to explore their Jewish roots. A television show features a Christian bar mitzvah celebration. The current U.S. President has a Jewish brother; the previous democratic president has a Jewish son-in law; the Canadian Prime Minister loves Israel.
The old-world European questions about how Jews might break in to non-Jewish society have been replaced. New questions arise: to what extent should we allow non-Jews to break into Jewish society? Should a rabbi perform an interfaith wedding? Accept a job as minister of a Unitarian church? Allow non-Jews to accept honors during the synagogue service?
Over the centuries, Jewish intellectuals developed a theological vocabulary for talking about the old issues of inclusion and exclusion. We spoke of "universalism," Judaism's messages for everyone, and "particularism," Judaism's practices designed just for Jews. Using these concepts, we asked questions and we answered them.
Medieval Biblical scholar Rabbi Abraham Ibn Ezra (1089-1167), living in Muslim-ruled Spain, asked, "What will change the damaging view of Jew as Other?" Nothing less than a theological revolution, he answered. Jew and non-Jew alike must recognize that the god Jews call by a particular name is not just a Jewish god. Rather, this God governs the universe we all share.
Modern Jewish philosopher Hermann Cohen (1842-1918) wrote in Germany as liberal democratic ideals gradually opened citizenship to Jews. He asked, "How can Jews be accepted as equals to Christians in a new, secular society?" People need to know the true history of democratic ideas, he thought. By teaching monotheism, Jews gave the world a particularly special gift. Belief in one God, who legislates a universal ethical code for all humanity, makes justice and peace possible.
And contemporary blogger, Laura Duhan Kaplan (okay, it's me), living 15 years ago in the buckle of the U.S. Bible Belt, asked, "All around me, Christians seem to be transformed by their authentic spiritual experiences. Can I, a Jew, access genuine spirituality?"
At that time, my young children were in bed by 8:00 pm, and I looked forward to a quiet break before working in my home office. But quiet would not come. Inside my thoughts and feelings I heard a knocking. Something insistent begged for recognition. When I listened, my imagination showed me a door. On one brightly lit side, I stood in a narrow hallway; on the other, shadowy side, a hidden spiritual force waited.
After about 90 nights of this, I finally confessed to my Jewish husband, a cognitive scientist. "Someone is knocking on a door inside my mind," I said. "What if I open it and it's…Jesus? … If it is I'll deal with it, but my parents won't be happy!"
"Don't worry," he said, "It won't be Jesus. Your spiritual experience will come to you in the Jewish symbols and metaphors that have shaped you."
He was offering encouragement, not scientific truth, but it was enough to push me through the door. One universal spiritual truth, I found, underlies all experiences: God is energy, and so are we. This truth is shared through particular concepts, emotions, and actions. Jewish literature, music and rituals can be beautiful agents of this giving and receiving. My experiences through these media are authentic.
Many voices in our spiritual tradition say it clearly: Judaism is part of a larger whole. The whole is greater than any of its parts. Judaism offers a theology, a language, and many symbols that point to something greater. We are one finger pointing at the moon.
In North America right now, many serious seekers find that finger beautiful, or welcoming, or strangely familiar. They want to ride it to the moon, so to speak. Sometimes, we make it so difficult for them to get on board.
Is there a theological basis for our reluctance? If not, it is time to reexamine our gate-keeping tendencies.

I appreciate that individuals should have the opportunity to turn their life around and can reform. However, I find it inappropriate that this person is "doing volunteer work with sick children at Stanford University's Ronald McDonald House and with seniors at the Peninsula Volunteers Little House facility in Menlo Park". If this person has a "lengthy history of con convictions" why is he allowed to volunteer and work closely with sick children and with seniors. I applaud Mr. Miller for being "actively engaged in volunteer work" but would hope he would volunteer in situations where he does not work closely with individuals in these more vulnerable situations.
Also, what are the screening procedures for volunteering at organizations such as Ronald McDonald House and Little House?

Hey, I bought the Golden State Warriors Basketball Team. Are you trying to tell me that I really don't own them? This guy also offered to sell me the Park Theatre. It seemed like a good deal so I gave him a deposit. He told me that he also wants to become a consultant for the city of Menlo Park since they are doing all these studies. He said he would be making a lot of money and offered me a share if I would help him, but I turned him down. Maybe I should have accepted his offer.

Trans-Mississippi unit reference books
Jane aka "The Trans-Mississippian" just posted a short piece [here] about three of her favorite reference guides to military units raised by states located west of the big river. I fully concur with her thoughts on their scholarly value and the need for more books of this type. We do have the Sifakis series, but new volumes with the authority of those mentioned in Jane's post would be very welcome indeed.

George, a 2-year-old Basset Hound from South Heindley, West Yorkshire, U.K., was strangled by a phone cord — and miraculously saved his own life by calling 999, the British equivalent of 911, reports The Sun.
George knocked over a heavy-duty, old-fashioned phone in owner Steve Brown's home; he became tangled in the cord and wound up with it wrapped around his neck. Somehow, George — in the midst of choking — managed to dial 999 with his paw.
The emergency operator heard heavy breathing and gasping on the other end and alerted the authorities, who entered the house with the help of a neighbor, Paul Walker, who had a key.
Walker saw the dog choking and ripped the cord free from the phone to save him.
He told The Sun: "Incredibly you could see where his paw print was on the phone to ring 999 — he literally saved his own life."
Lydia Brown, the daughter of George's owner, expressed equal amazement at the Basset's lifesaving feat, telling The Sun, "He's really dopey and just likes to chew socks."
George isn't sounding quite so dopey now, though.

TravelPod Member ReviewsRoseau Valley Hotel
Staying at the Roseau Valley Hotel is like staying at your grandma's house. The rooms are large and well-furnished, but the furniture is old, like a grandma's house. It has good hot water and internet access. The owners are very friendly people who care about the safety and security of their guests, like a grandma would. They were always willing to give me pointers on how to most effectively get to where I wanted to go, and always said to call if I ran into problems. The location is not in Roseau the city, so to go back and forth a lot would be a hassle, but it is a short bus ride, the buses run pretty regularly, and they are very cheap. The hotel itself is set back in the woods up in the mountains where it is very pretty. I recommend this hotel to any budget travelers who don't plan on being out in the city late at night.

Unusual Behavior
I live in Santa Barbara and have the joy of having hummingbirds in my garden year round. For the last week, I have had a male Anna hummingbird (quite a chubby little guy) guarding "his" feeder by sitting around 20 Ft. from it right on the patio floor - totally unprotected from any plants. I mean right on the patio slab! At first, I thought he was sick, but he surprised me because as soon as another hummer approaches the feeder, he is there in a split second. He has been exhbiting this behavior for the past week starting around 3-4 p.m. until nightfall.
I have been feeding hummers for over 25 years in CA and have never seen this odd form of behavior. My curiosity is at its peak - has anyone seen this kind of behavior?
Yesterday my daughter saw a hummingbird sitting on the deck floor about 10 feet from where the feeder is hung. I thought there might be something wrong but when i got near the door to go out he zoomed away. She said he looked like he was sunning himself. I've never seen this before in 11 years of feeding and watching hummingbirds. It was a cool sunny day. If I see it again, I will try to get a picture. Hopefully there is nothing wrong with the bird.
something very strange just happened at my house, on Vancouver Island. A male and a female hummingbird were sitting on my sundeck. My dog was growling at something that's how I found them. The male was leaning against a cement post, my dog was tapping it with her paw. He didn't move. I asked my husand to come to pick them up and take them somewhere safe, when he tried to pick up the male he flew off. The female just moved to the edge of the deck. When I touched her slightly, she flew to our cherry tree and sat there for a while. In all the years that I have been feeding hummingbirds, I have never seen this before .. especially when my cocker spaniel was standing over them growling and touching them! Does anyone have any ideas why they would do this?

Re: HMS Bounty in trouble...
I thought this was interesting from the ACR site:
ACR Electronics Inc - ACR and ARTEX BeaconsFoster Stanback Rescue / ACR and ARTEX Beacons
"When I arrived they told me that the base commander wanted to talk to me. I thought, "Oh no, here we go. He's going to chew me out for sinking a boat and involving dozens of people in an expensive rescue operation." Soon a smiling young man came out and listened attentively as I divulged all the details of our ordeal. When I was finished, he said, "Well, we just want to thank you for making our job a whole lot easier." My three friends, who were taken further north to the air station at LAX, asked the rescue swimmer how often he had had to go out at night on rescue operations.
He replied that, surprisingly, such missions were quite common, but we were the first actual "survivors" he had pulled out of the water in seven years.
People typically lose consciousness in 1 to 2 hours in 50-60 degree water. Our wetsuits would perhaps have given us a few more hours,
but there was no way we would have made the ten mile swim to the shore of Catalina.
The only things that saved us were the ACR Survival Craft Radio and the ResQLink personal locator beacon. Yes, even the radio still did its job after I had dislodged the battery, thanks to an amazing new system developed by the Coast Guard called Rescue 21. Any distress call on the emergency channel is picked up by various receiving towers and immediately recorded on a computer. A program then calculates the exact coordinates of the source of the transmission using triangulation. The Coast Guard personnel were able to pinpoint exactly where we were when I made our brief May Day call. They then overlaid the position being reported by the ResQLink and got a perfect match. Thanks to these amazing electronic devices and the dedication and professionalism of the Coast Guard, we were the lucky participants in a "textbook rescue.""
Seems in addition to life jackets and maybe a life raft, a wet suit or survival suit for each crew may be a good idea.

Any mini/patio rose lovers/experts here?
I've been trying to identify some of the Courtyard Garden roses at the Heritage Rose Garden. The ones that are still complete mysteries are on my Picasa site, and I'd appreciate any help in identifying them. Some of the roses are minis, but some are shrubs or patio roses.
Here is a link that might be useful: Jill's Picasa site
I also thought of hybrid musks when I first saw it, which is why I took the close-up of the stipules. Lyda Rose, has multiflora in it, as do most hybrid musks. These stipules are glandular, but not fringed, indicating no multiflora in its background. But thanks for the suggestion.
Got one of them: 03-2-2 (Photo nos. 7 and 8) is VERY likely Irene Marie. I'd recognize that rose anywhere and it's a fav of mine. And until I read your label, my question for you was going to be "is it thornless?" And then I saw you put that info in your label for it.
A pure shot in the dark guess for the yellow mini -1991-1-8 - would be Luis Desamero. But really, there are a ton of little yellow minis that fade to nearly white just like that. Buttermint and Dr. K.C.Chan are also roses I used to grow that do that and look kind of like that.
Kathy- thanks for the suggestions. I'll try to get better pictures in spring when there is more bloom to photograph. There are a couple problems with the ID of Irene Marie. Our plant is very small, and Irene Marie is a climber, and our plant was in the ground when Irene Marie was introduced. You are the second to see a connection with Playboy, and I think it is likely to be a relative of that rose.
Seil- It certainly looks right. If so, it was planted right next to a three year old plant and never entered into the database at all, both of which seem unlikely, but possible. I wasn't the one in charge at the time. I'll take some close-ups of plant details and add to the file.
Thanks, and keep the suggestions coming. I'm hoping the person in the park office can find a copy of the database from that time period, and there will be something in it that got dropped before I took over.
Well, I've always thought it strange that anyone thought Irene Marie was a climber -- not in my yard it's sure not. Here's the whole plant, after an entire summer of good food, good weather and no pruning -- it has kind of an open habit -- part of which is due to it being mostly in shade in my yard and part of which is just the way it grows. Mine is in a 5 gallon can and tops out at about 30 inches. It never has been taller than that.
But the canes are not as lax as their thinness would suggest, they are actually rather stiff and upright.
And my plant is completely thornless on the stems and canes. The only place I could find a thorn to show you was on the backs of the leaf petiole (leaf stem?), and there are only a few of them there on the whole plant (and they nearly microscopic in size). Those tiny petiole thorns also rub off with very little pressure.
Your rose #1 looks similar to Mojave or Contessa de Sastago. Both are hybrid teas. These are only guesses as it has been more than 50 years since I have seen Mojave and I don't think that I have ever met the Contessa in person. If you look at HMF look at several iterations of the pictures because they vary a lot. I remember Mojave as having golden reverses like your rose. Some on HMF look like that but many shown on HMF are not like that nor is the description which says "darker reverses".
I added another picture of 1991-1-8 to the album and removed those that were identified. It had a perfect blossom the other morning.
Kathy, thanks for the pictures. Our plant of 03-2-2 is no more than a foot high, if that. And it's in the 2003 bed, so it should be a 2003 introduction. Certainly not younger than that.
I've added more pictures of that orange blend,and the light yellow rose, and several more roses that I'm hoping can be confirmed or denied from the pictures.I've put in the most likely name based on the database. Tomorrow I can pick up a copy of the database from about the time the area was planted, and am hoping to find some useful information.
That 1991-1-8 looks like my Yantai. Same shape and the thin line of pink on the edge of the petals.
That may be Innocence but it could also be Constellation which looks identical to me. I have been trying to ID a white mini I have too and can not determine which of those two it might be. It's pretty much a toss up.
I have another one that I think could be Fortune Cookie too.
It's so hard to ID them for sure though unless there is a really distinctive characteristic.
It must be Innocence, since I know it was planted in that bed, and Constellation is a newer rose.
We have a plant of Yantai elsewhere, so I can compare them. 1991-1-8 was planted in 1997, but was mislabeled, so it could be anything up until 97.
Thanks for your help,

I am insulating my shop which is 32X28 and I will be doing painting and staining in it.Now some of the material I use such as lacqueror is pretty explosive stuff,causing flashes if it caught a spark.I have sprayed it in homes with pilot lights on in a different story.Say like im in 2nd floor and furnace is on 1st.
I was thinking I could use a natural gas,if I put it in its own sealed room,i'd have to make this room air tight so as no fumes can get to it.I will also have an exhaust fan to help elminate fumes.If you dont know what lacqueror is,its like poly or varnish but 10 times more voltile.
In floor would be the way to go but seeing as how in converting my 3 car garage into shop isnt possible,electric heat would work too,but is more expensive and we all want to save $$ any way we can.
Can a person install this themsleves?Pretty good on working and fixing most things on my own.Do you have a link or anything for this?
Lacqeror does not build up,it drys in about 30 seconds in air its nothing but powder,the explosivness of lacq is just the fumes,so im not worried about build up over time on componets the dust is harmless except to your lungs.

Exiles sign Samoan back-row Treviranus
ESPNscrum Staff
November 23, 2011
Treviranus on the charge against the Boks © Getty Images
London Irish have bolstered their back-row resources with the signing of Samoan Ofisa Treviranus.
The 27-year-old Samoan joins until February 2012 with the view of extending his contract through to the end of the 2014 season. Treviranus has 22 caps for Samoa and following his debut in Japan 2009 has also turned out for the Samoan Sevens side in their charge to IRB World Sevens Series glory in 2010. And following a World Cup where he played three of Samoa's four games, Exiles coach Toby Booth moved quickly to secure his man.
"I was impressed with the way Ofisa performed in the World Cup against challenging opposition," Booth said. "He is able to play in all three back row positions. He carries the ball like a number 8 and plays defensively as an openside flanker in the way he is hard over the ball."
And Treviranus is looking forward to lining up alongside some familiar faces in the Exiles side. He said: "I have heard a lot of good things from the Samoan boys who have played for London Irish, and I'm looking forward to joining Sailosi Tagicakibau in the squad. I'm keen now to take my career to the next level by playing with the Exiles."
