MEXICO CITY — A Mexico City man is in Hogwarts heaven after his collection of "Harry Potter" memorabilia was named the world's largest.
Menahem Asher Silva Vargas has spent nearly 15 years hoarding all things related to British author J.K. Rowling's young-adult wizard-fantasy series, which spawned eight blockbuster films.
His collection fills two rooms and counts everything from magic wands and toy figurines to Gryffindor scarves and replica Quidditch brooms.
Guinness World Records officially recognized it Monday as the world No. 1, at 3,097 pieces. The old mark was 807.
BALTIMORE — Authorities say Olympic swimmer Michael Phelps has been arrested on a DUI charge in Maryland.
Transit police say they stopped the 29-year-old Phelps at the Fort McHenry Tunnel in Baltimore around 1:40 a.m. Tuesday.
Maryland Transportation Authority Police say Phelps was going 84 mph in a 45-mph zone. Police say officers stopped Phelps just past a toll plaza.
Phelps has been charged with driving under the influence and excessive speed. He was released after his arrest.
POCAHONTAS — Pocahontas police have arrested a man who they say was growing nearly 40 marijuana plants in a home he was renting.
Police Chief Cecil Tackett told KAIT-TV on Monday that it's "by far" the largest growing operation officers have discovered. He said the 37 plants ranged from seedlings to 5 feet tall.
Police were called to the residence for a welfare check after the homeowner said the 37-year-old tenant hadn't paid rent in months. Officers say they could see and smell marijuana plants and obtained a search warrant.
Tackett says the man was arrested a few days later.
A giant Trojan horse stood near the lawn of the Saline County Courthouse on Monday morning. Members of the "Vote Against Issue 3" campaign placed a 10-foot-tall symbolic wooden horse on the lawn to protest issue 3 which will appear on the November general election ballot.
Issue 3 is titled the Arkansas Elected Officials Ethics, Transparency and Financial Reform Amendment and if approved, would permit legislators to serve a total of 16 years in the House or Senate and would establish limits on lobbying efforts by former legislators, as well as campaign donations and gifts from lobbyists.

Related Strips: #558: The Roommate; #813: Girlfight; #814: Projection
It's not a sentiment especially unique to this quote (or this comic), but the title comes from a Henry Rollins interview: "Cynicism is at this point for me, intellectual sloth and cowardice."
This is it for this scene, but as you can tell, things are unresolved between Melissa and Becky, and you can bet it'll come up again.
You might poke about the website a bit today. I've replaced many of the simpler graphics (the logo at the top, the web icons in the footer, and all of the Cast "photos") with SVGs (Scalable Vector Graphics), meaning you can now zoom into them and they will be super-crisp. This also makes them retina-display-friendly. The more complex images haven't been updated yet, and unfortuantely, the strip art is much too complex for SVG, so those have to stay raster images.
Along with that, I've updated a number of the character histories in the Cast Pages section; some of them are out of date still (there are fifty of them, y'know?), but I'm working on it. Let me know if there are any characters you think I should add! I know Guy and Turtle have probably appeared enough to merit entries, and probably a few more of the recurring customers, although I'm slightly embarassed at some of my secret nicknames for them.
I've also — finally — named the chain that owns the Multiplex 10 Cinemas, albeit only in the Cast Pages/Bonus Features section for now. It's called "Feature Cinemas," which seemed simple enough and didn't appear to be taken. So far, only two characters are in that category — Max and Candace (the film buyer)… but it won't stay that way for long.

Leonard Nimoy (1931–2015)
Sunday, March 1, 2015
I was never a huge Star Trek fan, exactly. I love some of the early episodes, and I think Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan is one of the greatest
science fiction movies of all time. I enjoyed Star Trek III and IV, too, for what they were. I read a bunch of the DC Comics Star Trek stuff at that time, because my brother bought them. And I watched a bit of the Next Generation and then fell off the wagon. Kirk and Spock were my Star Trek, and the Star Trek 2–4 "era" was its peak for me, warts and all, because that's the "era" that really hooked me. And really, for me, it was all about Wrath of Khan.
In addition to playing Mr. Spock, of course, Leonard Nimoy did a lot of other things. He was on Mission: Impossible. He directed a few movies (Three Men and a Baby!). He was a photographer. He was the voice of Civilization IV. But one thing I really loved of his was Standby: Lights, Camera, Action, on Nickelodeon from 1982–1987, which provided a behind the scenes look at movies like Star Trek III, Return of the Jedi, 2010, and more. Nimoy hosted and occasionally interviewed guests like George Lucas. As a budding film nerd in the pre-Internet Dark Ages, behind the scenes specials like Standby: Lights, Camera, Action were hard to come by. I ate that show up.
Anyway, as you're undoubtedly aware by now, Leonard Nimoy passed away on the 27th. As cartoonists do when they're sad about these kinds of things, I drew a picture:

I am completely new to Hibernate and Spring and in my attempt to learn Spring, Hibernate, Maven etc I only know how to run a hello world example using all of the three. With my basic understanding I have been assigned a task for performing optimistic locking. As far as I have googled it I can only see it is not very difficult all I need is to add a version tag in my xml and integer variable version in my mapped class.. Like this...
public class MyClass {
private int version;
my xml should be like this
<class name="MyClass">
<id ...>
<version name="version" column="VERSION" access="field">
And hibernate will automatically take care of versioning when second user saves, hibernate finds this user is working on the stale data and throws StaleObjectException.
Just wanted to confirm my understanding, thanks in advance.
It will be really helpful if some one can point me to a hello world example for this.
I would also like to mention that I am trying to implement "last commit wins" scenerio

Treasury Designates Afghan Heroin Trafficker
Printer-friendly versionPDF version
Action Targets Hawaladar with Ties to International Narcotics Trafficking and the Taliban
WASHINGTON –The U.S. Department of the Treasury today announced the designation of Afghan national Lahore Jan pursuant to the Foreign Narcotics Kingpin Designation Act (Kingpin Act) for his significant role in international narcotics trafficking. Lahore Jan is a known narcotics trafficker in Jalalabad, Afghanistan. He is involved in moving money for the Taliban and other narcotics traffickers using his hawala, a value transfer system, called the Lahore Jan Shanwari Exchange. As a result of today's action, all property and interests in property in the United States or in the possession or control of U.S. persons in which Lahore Jan or the Lahore Jan Shanwari Exchange have an interest is blocked, and U.S. persons are generally prohibited from engaging in transactions with them.
"As a hawaladar for drug traffickers and the Taliban, Lahore Jan promotes instability, organized crime, and terror via the Afghan heroin and hashish trades," said Adam Szubin, Director of the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC). "Today's action sends a clear message: OFAC will continue to target and expose anyone, anywhere involved in these illicit activities."
Lahore Jan makes most of his profits through heroin trafficking and moving money for various drug traffickers. He conducts hawala transactions between Afghanistan, Pakistan, the United States, the United Kingdom, China, and the United Arab Emirates and moves funds for various narcotics trafficking networks. Lahore Jan is the primary money exchanger for major narcotics traffickers and is also one of the primary hawaladars used by the Haji Bagcho drug trafficking organization to receive heroin proceeds from sales overseas. On March 13, 2012, Haji Bagcho was convicted on charges of drug trafficking and narco-terrorism and is currently serving a life sentence in a U.S. federal prison. Further, Lahore Jan and a close narcotics business partner control a heroin production operation in Nangarhar Province, Afghanistan.
The investigation that led to these designations was the result of collaborative efforts of Treasury, the Drug Enforcement Administration and the Afghan Threat Finance Cell (ATFC). The ATFC is a tactically-focused, interagency fusion center in Afghanistan that collects, analyzes and disseminates relevant financial intelligence on individuals and organizations involved in financing the Afghan insurgency.
Today's action is part of ongoing efforts pursuant to the Kingpin Act to apply financial measures against significant foreign narcotics traffickers and their organizations worldwide. The Treasury Department has designated almost 1400 individuals and entities pursuant to the Kingpin Act since June 2000. Penalties for violations of the Kingpin Act range from civil penalties of up to $1.075 million per violation to more severe criminal penalties. Criminal penalties for corporate officers may include up to 30 years in prison and fines up to $5 million. Criminal fines for corporations may reach $10 million. Other individuals face up to 10 years in prison and fines pursuant to Title 18 of the United States Code for criminal violations of the Kingpin Act.

My boss recently purchased this bag and we were on a trip to St. Louis. I must say he looked much more comfortable walking through the airport than I did lugging along my whole "body bag" travel golf bag. I purchased mine as soon as I got home and it makes travel SO MUCH easier? It doesn't hold all of my clubs but for travel it is great because I can take my most used clubs. Highly recommend for those who travel or need to make quick trips and want to take along your clubs on a plane.

The mica group of minerals includes several closely related materials having highly perfect basal cleavage. All are monoclinic with a tendency towards pseudo-hexagonal crystals and are similar in chemical composition. The highly perfect cleavage, which is the most prominent characteristic of mica, is explained by the hexagonal sheet-like arrangement of its atoms. The word "mica" is thought to be derived from the Latin word micare, meaning to shine, in reference to the brilliant appearance...

"I bought my daughter a pair of UGG boots. I do not shop online but this time I decided to do so through your company. I was very impressed with how the service representatives answered my 100 questions. No matter how many times I called back, with yet another question, I was always greeted and given the personal attention as if I was the only phone call they had to answer. Whenever I called it was always refreshing to speak with a live person instead of a computer. Your company kept me in the loop by emailing me, I did not have to do follow up calls. Even when I had to return the boots for another style and size there was not attitude, just courtesy. I will be shopping from your company again, and believe me, I have already started telling people about Footwear etc. Keep up the good work"

This AMAZING car is my daily driver and our family car for almost 2 years now. It's very reliable, safe, and SCARY-FAST around the curves, due to it's superb AWD system. It has an extremely responsive handling on asphalt and is very nimble in the pouring rain. It truly is a great TUNER'S car and the 4B11T engine will easily handle 400hp to 500hp:) The interior is mediocre and the trunk is tiny, but the Recaro seats and RockFord sound system are excellent. Gas mileage isn't too bad, my average is 24-26mpg on the hwy. Draft behind an SUV within my 40 mile commute and my 450hp Evo can get 26-28mpg. Considering price and performance potential, the Evo is hard to beat.

Performance? Oh yeah.. I owned the Evo IX and this car to me is MUCH better. It still has the cheap interior, thin paint, and bad gas mileage, but the X is a MUCH more comfortable car overall. I'm not a big aftermarket guy, but a tune really goes a leap ahead of what is already an excellent car performance wise. The S-AWC makes the new safe Evo even more safe than it already is by letting you turn the car suddenly without it even batting an eye. Like others have said and will say a strong 6 speed manual would be nice, but I don't drive fast where I live... the speed limit is still 55 and with the tune and a bit of added timing I can get 24-26 on the highway.

Just bought the car. Put about 1500 miles on her. Runs great. Don't really care about the interior. Bought it just for outside look and performance. Drifted around 80 degree turn at 80mph. Handles great! This is a sports car.....Not made for comfort. Don't buy if you want comfort. I bought it for drifting.

Well, this isn't your normal Lancer. Owned this car for 1 year and had no problem but the clutch... I don't even drive hard or launch the car, but around 12k I had to change out the clutch. I ended up getting aftermarket clutch and new flywheel because of the warp. Beside that I enjoy the car and the fun that comes with it. I joined a local car club and ended up mod a bit out of the car... Gas stinks, but it is a 2.0 pushing out near 300hp on a 3k pound car... Love it... Interior is so so if you got the base model, but an EVO is made for driving not luxury.

I had this car for 1 year now and still love the drive feel of the car. One of the best performance cars I ever driven. Exterior looks stunning. Handling is fantastic. Not so good on the gas mileage, especially with small tank (means need to fill up more often), but looking performance wise not too bad. Need better quality interior for the price of the car. As for reliability, need to do something for the stone chips problems.

No test drive, I knew what I was getting into. First time driving it out of the dealer lot...WOW! This monster has torque, seats are supportive but very difficult to adjust when reclining. The interior plastic parts are below average compared to my 06 Civic. The plastics are flimsy and cheap to the touch. The transmission is notchy [esp. upshifting to 2nd gear and when compared to HONDA tranny]. I've had 2003 WRX so this GSR's tranny isn't that much of a complaint to me.

I bought my Evo and had it shipped across the country without ever test driving it. I was a bit skeptical but read several reviews and bit the bullet. Driving this car is exhilarating. Every time I am behind the will I'm grinning ear to ear. It's by far the fastest car I've ever driven and for the money it's a steal.

After 1yr, still very happy with the purchase. Easily better than the STi which is more expensive. Did great through the winter. Always gets looks and continues to be fun to drive.

We have now owned our 2008 EVO for four months now. At first, I will say that we were very excited about our purchase. That was until we waxed the vehicle for the fourth time 1 1/2 weeks ago. My husband noticed a massive amount of paint chips above the rear tires on both sides of the car and also on the hood. I searched the web, and found we are not alone! Tons of people have this affliction, and Mitsubishi has done nothing for most of them. Do not buy this vehicle unless you want your paint to chip off, or your windshield to chip with 3000 miles on the car. Very poorly made and will not last. Worst purchase we have ever made as far as quality. Huge regrets.

Crabgrass/ weed identification
SharkenApril 29, 2014
Is this crabgrass? I had st Augustine sod put down 7-8 months ago and it's not doing too good. Thus long stringy grass has taken over much of the yard and the st Augustine is dyeing in lots of areas. I used Image pre emergent and fertilized with Scott's weed and feed. I live near the beach so there is a thin small layer of soil and sand under that. Any suggestions?

A delightful weekend at Tara's Treehouse
I spent a delightful weekend at Tara's Treehouse in August 2014. The house is so comfortable and charming. I spent 2 relaxing nights enjoying the porch swing, the cool night air and the beautiful view. The owners are quite pleasant and easy to deal with. I intend to visit again in the future and have already recommended this home to my friends and family. It is a lovely place to unwind.
Our vacation at Cottontail Cottage In The Woods.
We absolutely loved our stay at the cottage. It was very clean and so quaint. The atmosphere and decor made us feel very comfortable as if we were at home. We were greeted with fresh flowers and homemade chocolate chip cookies from Debbie. My favorite time of day was sitting outside on the deck having my morning coffee just after dawn and enjoying the peaceful quite of being in the mountains. The cottage was easy to get to and the location was in close proximity to the many beautiful waterfalls and cities that we visited. Since being back to FL, I have already sent your website link to my Manager and one of my staff who both are planning a trip to the GA mountains. Peter was very kind and welcoming during our stay and we look forward to possibly visiting again. Anyone going with kids, we brought our 15 yr old daughter and 2 boys, 12 and 13, and they had a great time also. It's a great place to visit and we highly recommend it. Phillip & Kathleen Booth
Women's Retreat
My women friends and I just had a very satisfying weekend at Pride Rock. It was just as the owner's had described, only better. The kitchen was fully equipped for the fabulous meals we prepared and there were many spaces for doing yoga and quietly meditating. Highly recommended!

One of the absolute most unusual and exceptional examples of one of our favorite categories of apéritifs, Pineau des Charentes. I think these really work after dinner as well. Like the incredible Paul et Marie Pineau before them, the Navarres Pineau des Charentes take this whole category to the next level. Theyre produced in a hyper-inefficient manner, which makes them absolutely wonderful. The first, Jacky Navarre Tres Vieux Pineau (750ml $69.99), used six-year old Cognac to stabilize grape must from the 1982 vintage. Exquisite, tropical and fresh, it spent the next 30 years oxidizing into the magnificent liquid that we sell now. Bottled in 2012, it is a true 30-year-old Pineau and very, very rare.

Baptistonia leinigii
ifraser25(z11 Brazil)March 30, 2008
A number of the young plants I bought when I first arrived in Brazil 3 years ago are now beginning to flower. This is not a first flowering but the first, last year was spoiled by aphids. Smaller and less well-known than Bapt. echinata, this is another plant from the southern area of the Brazilian Mata Atlantica. The somewhat Ondontoglossum-like flowers grow in a rather untidy spray and appear in late summer/early fall(now).

Pass your Road Test the 1st Time - GUARANTEED!
What kind of mistakes will cause an automatic failure of the driving test?
Most often, an automatic failure is caused by breaking a traffic law. Some of the more common automatic failures are: Failing to stop completely at a stop sign, Driving To fast for conditions, or Hitting a curb during the three-point turn. During the behind-the-wheel online course you'll learn more about the common mistakes and which driving maneuvers you'll need to practice the most.
How do I control my nerves before a driving test?
Practice - Practice - Practice. Just like any other test, you should be prepared and that means knowing the rules of the road and having the ability to control your car in any situation. You should also understand that the role of the examiner is NOT to give you hints or guide you in any way. The examiner's job is to give you certain driving maneuvers to perform and to record the results. Get a good night's sleep before the driving test and eat a light meal. If you are fully prepared, and have confidence in your own driving abilities, you should do well on the exam. To help you be fully prepared, we recommend completing a driving test simulator course.
I have heard that the driving test examiners are intimating, any advice for dealing with them?
Most examiners are professionals who actually want you to pass your exam. If the examiner seems to be short with you or even rude, remember that it is normally not due to anything you have done; it is not your fault. You can possibly change that examiner's attitude with your attitude toward him or her. This is a topic we cover thoroughly driving the our drivers license practice test course to help you with our confidence when meeting the examiner.
If I fail my driving test, how long do I have to wait before I can take it again?
This depends on the regulations in the state where you take your test. In most states, you can try again the next day. Other states may make you wait a week or more before re-trying the exam. That waiting period is designed to give you more time to practice before taking the test again. The best way to avoid this delay is to practice, become confident in your abilities, and pass the exam the first time.
The BEST Driver's License Road Test Simulator Course in America!
Lowest Price Traffic School and the National Safety Commission are committed to providing the most effective and comprehensive driver education and safety courses.

His All Holiness Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew Calls for Dialogue Based on Tolerance
Document Actions
Sep 22, 2006
New York, NY – The recent reaction to certain remarks made by Pope Benedict XVI in a speech he delivered to an academic audience at the University of Regensburg on September 12, 2006 has caused deep concern to His All Holiness Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew, the spiritual leader of more than 300 million Orthodox Christians worldwide.
"Today," said Patriarch Bartholomew, "dialogue is more useful and necessary in relation to the past. For this reason, our only course should be toward sincere dialogue based on tolerance."
Defining his position as one of mutual love and respect, the Ecumenical Patriarch continued by suggesting that, "While there are so many possibilities for cooperation and common values, particularly among the three monotheistic religions, it is necessary to avoid situations which can offend each others beliefs and displease each other."
His All Holiness Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew is the 270th Successor of the Holy Apostle Andrew. Pope Benedict has accepted the invitation of Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew to visit the Ecumenical Patriarchate in Istanbul, Turkey on the Feastday of Saint Andrew the Apostle, the brother of Saint Peter, on November 30, 2006.

Primetime Propaganda: The True Hollywood Story of How the Left Took Over Your TVby Ben Shapiro
"Were you aware that television has been trying to turn you into a latté-sipping, pro-gay, recycling Trotskyist? Did you know that Friends was not about a bunch of photogenic 20-somethings frolicking in New York, but rather an entertaining piece of agitprop designed to promote promiscuity? Did you know that Norman Lear was (gasp) a Jew?
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Movie critic Michael Medved calls Ben Shapiro, "One of our most refreshing and insightful voices on the popular culture, as well as a conscience for his much-maligned generation." With Primetime Propaganda, the syndicated columnist and bestselling author of Brainwashed, Porn Generation, and Project President tells the shocking true story of how the most powerful medium of mass communication in human history became a vehicle for spreading the radical agenda of the left side of the political spectrum. Similar to what Bernard Goldberg's Bias and A Slobbering Love Affair did for the liberal news machine, Shapiro's Primetime Propaganda is an essential expose of corrupting media bias, pulling back the curtain on widespread and unrepentant abuses of the Hollywood entertainment industry.
"Shapiro, in Brainwashed, lashed into leftists indoctrinating university students. He found social liberalism corrupting the culture in Porn Generation, and in Project President he described candidates sold like products. Now he probes 'the overwhelming leftism of American television.' Watching oral sex discussed on Sex and the City, a pregnant lesbian on Friends, and the legalization of gay marriage on The Simpsons, Shapiro realized, 'These weren't just television episodes — they were pieces of small-scale, insidiously brilliant leftist propaganda.' Liberal politics have pervaded the entertainment field to such a degree, he determined, that it could not be coincidental. Instead, he views it as a concerted effort, consciously planned by industry liberals to convert Americans to their cause. To make his case, he looks back over the entirety of broadcasting history, beginning with early radio, when NBC's David Sarnoff and CBS founder William S. Paley ruled. Critical analyses surface as he traces liberal leanings through the decades. Research included interviews with creators and writers, including Leonard Stern (The Honeymooners), Larry Gelbert (M*A*S*H), Susan Harris (Soap), George Schlatter (Laugh-In) and Peter Mehlman (Seinfeld). Conclusion: 'When Hollywood liberals talk about reflecting reality, what they really mean is that they make shows that reflect their values.' Even readers who disagree with Shapiro will find this book succeeds in making them pay attention to the men behind the curtain. (June)" Publishers Weekly Copyright PWxyz, LLC. All rights reserved.
"Vitally important, devastatingly thorough, and shockingly revealing....After reading Primetime Propaganda, you'll never watch TV the same way again." Mark Levin
The inside story of how the most powerful medium of mass communication in human history has become a propaganda tool for the Left
Primetime Propaganda is the story—told in their own words—of how television has been used over the past sixty years by Hollywood writers, producers, actors, and executives to promote their liberal ideals, to push the envelope on social and political issues, and to shape America in their own leftistimage.
In this thoroughly researched and detailed history of the television industry, conservative columnist and author Ben Shapiro argues that left-leaning entertainment kingpins in Los Angeles and New York have leveraged—and continue to use—their positions and power to push liberal messages and promote the Democratic Party while actively discriminating against their opponents on the right. According to Shapiro, television isn't just about entertainment—it's an attempt to convince Americans that the social, economic, and foreign policy shaped by leftism is morally righteous.
But don't take his word for it. Shapiro interviewed more than one hundred of the industry's biggest players, including Larry Gelbart (M*A*S*H), Fred Silverman (former president of ABC Entertainment, NBC, and vice president of programming at CBS), Marta Kauffman (Friends), David Shore (House), and Mark Burnett (Survivor). Many of these insiders boast that not only is Hollywood biased against conservatives, but that many of the shows being broadcast have secret political messages. With this groundbreaking exposé, readers will never watch television the same way again.
About the Author
Ben Shapiro is a graduate of UCLA (which he entered at the age of sixteen) and Harvard Law School. At seventeen, he became the youngest nationally syndicated columnist in the United States. Shapiro is the author of the national bestsellers Brainwashed, Porn Generation, and Project President, and hosts The Ben Shapiro Show in Orlando, Florida. He is married and lives in Los Angeles.

Arriva Buses Wales
Alexander ALX400 bodied DAF DB250 in Rhyl in March 2012
|Service area

|Chief executive
|Michael Morton
Arriva Buses Wales[1] (Welsh: Bysiau Arriva Cymru) is a bus operator providing services in North Wales and Chester. It is a subsidiary of Arriva.
Crosville Motor Services was formed in 1919 and operated services in Wales and northern England.[2] It became a subsidiary of National Bus Company before its Welsh operations were split into Crosville Cymru in preparation for sale in 1987 through a management buyout.
In 1989 Crosville Cymru was sold to National Express. In 1991 it was sold again to British Bus.[3][4]
In August 1996 British Bus was purchased by the Cowie Group. It traded as Arriva Cymru until February 2002, when it merged with Arriva North West to form Arriva North West & Wales.[2][5]
In August 2008 Arriva purchased routes 9 and 9A with seven buses from KMP.[6][7]
In January 2009, Arriva North West & Wales was split, with the Welsh operations being managed by a new management team based at Llandudno Junction depot.[2][5][8]
Arriva Buses Wales operates services across North Wales from Holyhead to Chester and Wrexham.[9] During the summer months open top buses operate services in Rhyl.
Arriva Buses Wales previously operated some Trawscambria services.
Arriva Buses Wales operates four depots:
- Bangor - Llandygai Industrial Estate, Llandygai (headquarters)
- Hawarden (near Chester) - Manor Lane Industrial Estate, Manor Lane
- Rhyl - Ffynnongroew Road
- Wrexham - Berse Road, Caego
There are also smaller outstations or sub-depots at other locations, including Llandudno, Holyhead and Amlwch (outstations of Bangor). Caelloi Motors share their depot with Arriva in Pwllheli.
The former regional headquarters and depot at Llandudno Junction closed in April 2013.[10] Aberystwyth depot, along with its outstations at New Quay and Lampeter closed on 21 December 2013, along with Dolgellau, latterly an outstation of Wrexham depot.[11] Councillors and AMs criticised the short notice given by Arriva, leading to fears that communities could be left without bus services; [12] however, other operators took over the running of the routes.
Dennis Darts, of the low-floor SLF and MPD varieties, make up just over a third of the fleet as at spring 2014 (down from around half the fleet in 2011). More recent deliveries have been VDL SB120 and SB200 with Wright Cadet, Commander and Pulsar bodywork, and Optare Solos. Other types operated include a pair of Optare Versas used on service X44 between Chester and Mold; seven Volvo/Wright Eclipse acquired from K.M.P. in 2008 along with the Llandudno-Bangor-Caernarfon services on which they were then used; and a pair of Van Hool Alizée coaches transferred in from Arriva Midlands, initially for use on service 20 between Cardiff and Aberystwyth.
Double-deckers feature in the allocations of all of the four depots. Bangor (and its outstations) operate five double-deckers on dedicated duties; in spring 2014, long-serving Volvo Olympians were in the process of being replaced by cascaded low-floor DAFs from the Midlands. Seven DAF DB250LF (ex London cascades) are based at Rhyl. During January 2012 Rhyl depot took delivery of ten brand new Wright Gemini 2 double-deckers for use on the 11-series Rhyl-Chester "Cymru Coastliner" routes. Rhyl depot is also home to a small fleet of open-top double-deckers for use on the 1 Towyn - Rhyl - Talacre summer route. During 2014, several ex-London DAF DB250LF were being converted to open-top configuration to replace the Leyland Olympians previously used. Chester depot have brand new Alexander Dennis Enviro 400's in Sapphire for routes 10 and 10A from Chester - Connahs Quay and Holywell.
During March 2010 Arriva Buses Wales announced that the fleet was 100% low floor (except open-tops and college/school duties),[13] although high-floor Van Hool coaches were subsequently brought in to replace Optare Tempos on Aberystwyth-Cardiff duties.
29 April 2013 saw the introduction of the first Sapphire concept of all UK regional ARRIVA Bus fleets. Nine refurbished Alexander Dennis Enviro400 buses, representing a £650,000 investment[14] were introduced on route 1 between Wrexham and Chester.[15]

The combination of a balloon catheter; a thin flexible tube capable of insertion within the liquid drainage passage in the catheter; and a wire-like member capable of insertion through the flexible tube. The wire-like member has a sharpened end which can be used to pierce the catheter to deflate the balloon when it cannot be deflated in the normal manner.
1. In combination, a balloon catheter including an elongated flexible tubular member terminating in an inner end having drain openings, a first passage in said tubular member in communication with said drain openings at said inner end and terminating at its outer end in an enlarged opening, an inflatable balloon member attached to the exterior of said tubular member adjacent said drain openings, a second passage in said tubular member communicating with said balloon member for inflating and deflating said balloon member,
a flexible tube of a size and shape for insertion in said first passage and having a length at least equal to that of said first passage, an opening adjacent one end of said flexible tube, which opening is generally in alignment with said balloon member when said flexible tube has been fully inserted in said first passage, and a thin flexible wire-like member of a size and shape to be inserted in said flexible tube and having a length at least sufficient to extend through said flexible tube and through said opening, said flexible wire-like member having a sharpened end for use in piercing said tubular member, after passing through said flexible tube opening.
2. The combination of claim 1 further characterized by and including a stop on the outer end of said flexible tube for preventing insertion of said flexible tube in said first passage beyond a predetermined length.
3. The combination of claim 2 further characterized by and including a stop on the outer end of said wire-like member for preventing insertion of said wire-like member beyond a predetermined length.
4. The combination of claim 2 further characterized in that said flexible tube is formed of a plastic material.
5. The combination of claim 3 further characterized in that said wire-like member is a metallic wire having a sharpened end.
6. The combination of claim 1 further characterized by and including ramp means within said flexible tube adjacent the inner end thereof and adjacent said opening for causing said wire-like member to be directed outwardly through said opening.
7. A method of deflating the balloon of a balloon catheter inserted within a human body when normal deflating means are inoperative said catheter having an annular wall defining a drain passage with a balloon member adjacent the insertion end of the catheter, said method comprising the steps of:
a. inserting a flexible tube having an opening adjacent one end into the catheter drain passage until the tube opening is positioned in general alignment with the catheter inflated balloon,
b. inserting a wire-like member having a sharpened end through said flexible tube until the wire passes through said tube opening and pierces the catheter wall causing deflation of the balloon.
8. The method of claim 7 further characterized by the step of limiting insertion of said wire-like member to the distance generally necessary for piercing the catheter.
The present invention relates to urinary catheters and in particular to the combination of a catheter and means insertable within the catheter to deflate the balloon in an emergency situation.
A primary purpose of the invention is the combination of a balloon-type urinary catheter, a flexible tube for insertion through the drainage passage of the catheter, and a thin wirelike member for insertion through the tube to the point where it may be used to deflate the balloon within the patient's bladder.
Another purpose is a combination catheter and means for deflating the catheter balloon in an emergency situation.
Another purpose is a method of deflating a catheter balloon when the normal deflating means are inoperative.
Other purposes will appear in the ensuing specification, drawings and claims.
The invention is illustrated diagrammatically in the following drawings wherein:
FIG. 1 is a plan view of a conventional urinary catheter showing the balloon in an inflated condition,
FIG. 2 is a section through the catheter of FIG. 1 with the balloon in a deflated condition, and
FIG. 3 is a section, similar to FIG. 2, showing the tube and wire for emergency balloon deflation positioned within the catheter.
Typically, a balloon-type catheter is inserted through the urinary tract and into the patient's bladder. A balloon portion of the catheter is then inflated within the bladder, through the insertion of sterile fluid, to hold the catheter in place. At such time as the catheter is to be removed, the balloon portion is deflated by removal of the sterile fluid through the same passage which was used to inflate it. In rare instances the passage used to inflate and deflate the catheter balloon becomes blocked after the balloon is inflated and other means must be provided to deflate the balloon before the catheter can be removed from the patient. One such means for deflating the catheter balloon is shown in U.S. Pat. No. 3,825,013. The present invention provides for emergency catheter balloon deflation through the use of a thin flexible tube, for example a convenient plastic such as X-ray graduated woven nylon tubing, which is inserted through the drainage passage of the catheter to a point where an opening in the tube is generally adjacent the balloon within the patient's bladder. A wire is then inserted through the flexible tube and its sharpened point will pass through the opening in the flexible tube to a point where it may pierce the catheter adjacent the balloon within the patient's bladder, permitting subsequent deflation of the balloon and removal of the catheter.
The catheter may have an elongated flexible tubular member 10 terminating in an inner end 12 having drain openings 14. Spaced from and adjacent drain openings 14 is a balloon member 16 which extends about tubular member 10 and is secured thereto, by heat sealing, or by a suitable adhesive or the like, at its peripheral edges 18 and 20. The outer end of tubular member 10 may include a socket 22 which will conventionally fit about a glass or plastic tube and a divergent tube 24 which will be integrally formed with tubular member 10.
Looking particularly at FIG. 2, a first passage or main passage 26 is formed within tubular member 10 and is in communication with drain openings 14 and with socket 22. Conventionally, passage 26 will be used to drain fluids from within the patient's bladder or to provide a passageway to conduct irrigating fluids into the bladder. Also formed within tubular member 10 is a second passage 28 which has an opening 30 communicating with the interior surface of balloon member 16. Passage 28 extends through divergent tube 24 and may have its outer end closed by a small plug 32 which may be easily pierced by a hypodermic needle or the like.
In conventional catheter usage, the catheter is inserted through the urinary tract until the inner end having drain openings 14 is positioned within the patient's bladder. A syringe is inserted through plug 32 and a suitable sterile fluid is injected into passage 28 to expand or inflate balloon member 16 within the bladder, as illustrated in FIG. 1. The balloon is inflated to hold the catheter within the bladder. After inflation, passage 26 will be used in the conventional manner to drain the bladder or to provide a passageway for irrigating fluids.
At such time as it is desired to remove the catheter from the bladder, a syringe may again be inserted through plug 32 and is used to drain the sterile inflating fluid from passage 28 and from inside balloon member 16. As indicated above, there are rare occasions when passageway 28 becomes blocked. In such a situation, means must be provided to deflate the balloon, as otherwise removal of the catheter can be extremely painful and dangerous.
As particularly illustrated in FIG. 3, a thin hollow flexible tube 34 having a stop 36 at its outer end may be inserted into passage 26. Preferably, tube 34 may be formed of plastic, for example nylon or the like. Tube 34 has an opening 38 spaced a predetermined distance from its inner end, which opening is generally in alignment with balloon member 16 when tube 34 is fully inserted within catheter passage 26. The inner end of tube 34 may be closed, as indicated at 40, with the closure forming a ramp 42. After flexible tube 34 has been fully inserted in passage 26, with only stop 36 and a small portion of the tube remaining outside of the catheter, a thin wire-like member 44, which may be a steel wire, is inserted through the hollow interior of tube 34. Wire 44 has a sharpened inner end 46 and a stop 48 at its outer end. Wire 44 is inserted through the interior of tube 34 with ramp 42 causing the wire to bend outwardly and pass through opening 38 which is in alignment with balloon member 16. The wire will be pushed through tube 34 until its sharpened end 46 pierces tubular member 10, thus causing deflation of the balloon by dispersal of the sterile fluid into main passage 26. The distance which the wire can be inserted within the catheter must be closely controlled so as to not injure the patient. Stop 48 is used as a guide to determine when the proper length of wire has been inserted within the catheter. Thus, the length of wire 44 and the length of flexible tube 34 are slightly longer than passage 26 so that the wire and tube may be inserted to perform their intended function, but leave a gripping area on the exterior of the catheter for manipulation by the doctor or nurse who is performing the balloon deflating operation.
Flexible tube 34 should be formed of a material which is readily deformable to the shape of the urinary tract so that it may be passed through the catheter without causing excessive discomfort to the patient. In like manner, wire 44 must be sufficiently flexible to pass through the same passage, but yet be sufficiently stiff to provide a sharpened cutting point on its end which can be used to pierce the catheter and deflate the balloon within the patient's bladder. Plastic has been found to be satisfactory for tube 34 and a steel wire has been found to be satisfactory for wire 44, although other materials may be equally applicable.
Whereas the preferred form of the invention has been shown and described herein, it should be realized that there may be many modifications, substitutions and alterations thereto.

Michael O'Flanagan
Father Michael O'Flanagan (Irish: An tAthair Mícheál Ó Flannagáin) (1876 – 7 August 1942) was an Irish republican and Roman Catholic priest.
Early life[edit]
Born on 13 August 1876, at Kilkeeven, near Castlerea, County Roscommon, the elder son of Edward Flanagan, a smallholding farmer and Mary Crawley. O'Flanagan's parents were bi-lingual native Irish speakers. They were engaged in Fenian politics, and members of the Land League. He received his primary education at Cloonboniffe National School before traveling to Sligo where he attended secondary school at Summerhill College. Michael matriculated in 1894, and continued his education at St Patrick's College, Maynooth where he was ordained for the Diocese of Elphin in 1900. After joining the priesthood he returned to Summerhill College where he was employed as a teacher until 1904.[1] Flanagan was a brilliant student, who grew very tall in stature: he won prizes in Theology, Scripture, canon Law, Irish language, education, and natural science. Later in life as a teacher, more than a catholic priest he filed patented inventions for protective goggles, and house insulation products. He was ordained by the Bishop of Elphin on 15 August 1900. That same year he was appointed Professor of Irish at Summerhill. He would organize the annual Sligo Fheis - a gaelic festival, that reflected his fenian pretensions. His success here made him a highly-sought after by Sinn Fein party organizsers.
Political career[edit]
In 1904 he was invited to speak on a tour of USA for Bishop Clancy of Elphin and Sir Horace Plunket, the radical party organizer. He was sent to find investment for agricultural and industrial projects in the west of Ireland. His brilliance as a motivating orator assembled support for a green agenda, emphasising co-operation. In August 1910 he was elected by the Gaelic League Executive and returned with Fionan MacColuim. In 1912, after several years of annoying the British authorities and the Catholic hierarchy he was appointed to a Curacy in the town of Roscommon, friendly to the ideas of Sinn Féin. O'Flanagan became involved with Irish language revival while teaching. He was a skilled orator and started agitating for radical social and political change. In October 1912, Bishop Clancy died, and was replaced by a far less sympathetic incumbent. Bishop Bernard Coyne was a moderate, conservative figure who accused O'Flanagan of intemperate modernism. The priest began to move away from the vocational calling towards a political life.
The following year he was elected to the Standing Committee of the Gaelic League for two years. In the year that war broke out with Germany he was sent again to preach at Rome on an independent Ireland. On 1 August 1914, He was moved by the diocese to Cliffoney and Grange parish. There he called for land distribution to his parishioners, condemned the export of food from the area, and demanded a continuation of peat bog cutting. He wrote profusely, attacking in the newspapers, what he felt was Irishmen's reluctant to perceive what oppression had been in Ireland for centuries was then being felt in Belgium.[2]
In 1915 Father O'Flanagan was transferred to Cootehall, near Boyle, County Roscommon and was sanctioned by his Bishop when accused of making a speech disloyal to the crown: he had spoken at the funeral of Father Jeremiah O'Donovan Rossa, and old comrade in arms. The seperatist-style rhetoric was used to speak against war taxes imposed by London.[3]
He also offended nationalists in a letter to the Freeman's Journal in June 1916 when he supported Lloyd George's proposal that the twenty-six counties should have immediate home rule.[4] he moved towards support for partition arguing that the reality of Ulster separatism meant that to rid Ireland of the British was more important. The war agitation led to election as Vice-President of Sinn Féin in October 1917 for three years. He made the post his own, proving a highly effective party manager. In May 1918, Sinn Féin were rounded up, but clerical exemption, spared O'Flanagan arrest and imprisonment. During the General Election he toured the country talking to candidates and crowds. He was censored by the bishop but stated that it was essential to Ireland that East Cavan elect a Sinn Féin candidate. Nonetheless he became more queasy about the increasing level of violence deployed by the IRA, and shrank from appearing with them in public.
Vice-President of Sinn Féin, O'Flanagan was chosen to recite the invocation at the first meeting of the newly proclaimed Dáil Éireann in January 1919. He was appointed as the Chaplain to the dual parliament on its formation. On the Sinn Féin Land Executive he was responsible for the agitation of propaganda and agriculture in County Roscommon. And by December 1920 was promoted as Acting-President of the party.
In late January 1921, during the Irish War of Independence, O'Flanagan met informally in London with Sir Edward Carson and Judge James O'Connor to discuss a peaceful solution to the conflict, but without success.[5] Nearly a year later the Anglo-Irish Treaty was ratified by both sides. He also had talks with Prime Minister Lloyd George.[6]They discussed the dominion status of a free state, to which O'Flanagan was happy to agree. His critics accused him of waving a "white flag", but O'Flanagan was a convinced Anti-Treatyite, and a friend of Joseph J. O'Kelly, and as such was forced to leave Ireland, in fear of his life. The Crown issued a reward for his capture, arrest and prosecution. He was forced to flee to USA until April 1925. In November 1921, he arrived in America. In 1923 he went to Australia, and in a famous encounter met the friend of Irish nationalism Cardinal Daniel Mannix, Archbishop of Sydney. The Crown hunted O'Flanagan in Australia, eventually driving him out of the country by deportation.
In 1927 he was suspended from clerical duties because of his nationalist activities. Bishop Coyne finally died in July 1926, which lifted the ban on his ministry. However he was never again promoted by the Vatican and Catholic church. He did at this time flirt with Communism, and the marxist aesthetic, expressing brotherhood with James Larkin, union leader. But O'Flanagan never became a member of the left-wing groups, choosing to keep his distance from labourism.
In March 1926, Sinn Féin held its Ard Fheis. Flanagan led the section from which Éamon de Valera broke away. The conference instructed a joint committee of representatives from De Valera's faction and that of O'Flanagan to arrange a basis for co-operation. The Ard Fheis issued a statement declaring "the division within our ranks is a division of Republicans." [7] The split concerned entry to Dáil Éireann in 1926. De Valera took the great majority of Sinn Féin support with him when he founded Fianna Fáil but O'Flanagan maintained his radical stance on social issues in the republican journal An Phoblacht.[8] He opposed De Valera's attempts to modernise the Oath of Allegiance, so that republicans could enter the revolutionary Dail Eireann. He split from 'Dev' on the founding of the Fianna Fail, deciding to remain ultimately with Sinn Féin.
O'Flanagan pursued theoretical and liteary interests in publishing 1927-8 several edition of the Ordnance Survey books. He was commissioned by the government to write a history of the irish language for schools, five of which were published, and five were not. He was elected president of Sinn Féin from October 1933 to 1935, when he was expelled from the party for taking a state job on the Placenames Commission and participating in a Radio Éireann programme.[9]
Bernard O'Higgins, a critic and Mary MacSwiney were both complainants about his Presdency of Sinn Féin, and resigned in protest.[10] In 1936 he took part in a re-enactment of the Dail re-opening, interpreting it as a triumph, and he was expelled by the purists in his party; later re-joining. He sympathised with Italian fascists when they invaded Abyssinia because they were enemies of Britain. He was one of the few Catholic priests to defend the Spanish Republic during the Spanish Civil War.[11]
On 3 April 1939, he was restored to his faculties by a new Bishop of Elphin. In retirement he moved to Dublin, and acted as a Chaplain in the new Eire, of two convents and a hospital. He died in a Dublin nursing home of stomach cancer on 7 August 1942. A friend to the poor, and enemy to injustrice and patronage. He was also a doctrinaire social Catholic. But his character was said to be arrogant and egotistical. His maverick political conduct, both isolated and frustrated his friends. The British forces nearly captured him on several occasions, but his refusal to get involved in the fighting, gave him a loophole to escape certain death.
O'Flanagan remains today one of the heroes of Sinn Féin Party both in Northern Ireland and in Republic.

I managed to vault for the ditch just as the truck's driver spotted me. To his credit, he gave it all he had in an effort to avoid hitting me. Unfortunately, this landed his vehicle in the opposite ditch.
It took us both a minute to come to terms with our situation. By this point, I was sweating like crazy. I watched as the man in the truck got out and looked around, as if in a daze.
