ROY — This isn't the kind of anniversary you celebrate.
But you mark it because it's important.
Six years ago today, the United States launched an invasion into Iraq — a place few of us will ever see, but a place that seems to touch everyone.
At least 4,259 members of the U.S. military have died in the Iraq war, according to the Associated Press. Since 2003, 48 men and one woman with Utah ties have been killed in conflicts in the Middle East.
In operations leading up to the start of the war, former Utahn John Darren "J.D." Smith, 32, a pilot, was killed when his Blackhawk helicopter crashed during a training mission in Kuwait.
Cemeteries across the state, such as the Roy City Stoker Memorial Cemetery, are dotted with graves of those whom we won't see again.
Among those is Marine Staff Sgt. James Wilford Cawley, who was killed outside the small town of Al Fajid, Iraq, after being hit by a Humvee.
The Iraq war was officially 10 days old when it claimed Cawley's life.
But to Cawley's sister, Julie Cawley Hanson, he lives on in his children.
"It's eerie to see his son," Hanson says. "He looks like him — the way he moves his hands, the way he talks, his mannerisms. It's like watching my brother again."
And Cecil Cawley, now 14, wants to be a police officer and a Marine, just like his dad.
Hanson says she could write a book about her brother, with whom she felt a tight bond. And over the course of an hour Wednesday, she told the Deseret News that her brother grew from an introverted, noncommunicative child into an intelligent, charming, social butterfly — and a man's man.
Sgt. Cawley worked as a SWAT detective for Salt Lake police and was called up to active duty with the Marines after Sept. 11, 2001. After training for a year at Camp Pendleton, he deployed to Iraq with a platoon.
The night he left, Hanson said, she felt a terrible sense of foreboding that was confirmed when she read her e-mail the next day. It was a tender letter from Cawley asking her to take care of his wife, Miyuki, to help her with military benefits and whom to notify at the police department if he was killed.
It also included his desire where to be buried.
"I don't plan on getting killed," the note said. "I hope this won't be too much trouble for you."
"By the end, he knew," Hanson said. "I knew when he said goodbye that would be the last time I would see him. He knew the same thing."
Then there were the other signs: touching memories he wrote down for his two children and donating all of his clothes to Deseret Industries.
"I don't know who takes all of their clothing and gives it away," Hanson said.
But after mulling her brother's death, she has come up with a question: "Would you go to work today if you know you're not going to be coming home?"
James Cawley would. He did, she said, because of his sense of duty. The great debater in him — the debater who could make you so mad because he was so good at it — didn't debate whether a war needed to happen or not.
"He was convinced something needed to be done," Hanson said.
If the U.S. gets out of Iraq in August 2010 — a promise made two weeks ago by President Barack Obama — the debates will linger about whether war was the right thing.
Some will rail against the premise of going to Iraq in the first place. Others will criticize how the war was handled. And some will criticize withdrawing.

"London, Misty Albion" London by kris-t
London Travel Guide: 24,331 reviews and 52,975 photos
Modern London is not one city that has steadily become larger through the centuries; it is a number of cities, towns, and villages that have, during the past centuries, grown together to make one vast urban area.
London is situated upon both banks of the River Thames, it is the largest city in Britain and one of the largest in the world. Its population is about 7 million people.
London dominates the life of Britain. It is the chief port of the country and the most important commercial, manufacturing and cultural centre.
There is little heavy industry in London, but there is a wide range of light industry in Greater London.
London consists of three parts: the City of London, the West End and the East End.
London is one of the most visited cities on Earth.
Tourist attractions are located mainly in Central London, comprising the historic City of London; the West End with its many cinemas, bars, clubs, theaters, shops and restaurants; the City of Westminster with Westminster Abbey, the royal residences of Buckingham Palace, Clarence House and St. James's Palace; the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea with its museums (the Science Museum, Natural History Museum, and Victoria and Albert Museum) and Hyde Park. Other important tourist attractions include
St Paul's Cathedral, the National Gallery;
the South Bank and Bankside areas of Southwark with the Globe Theatre and the Tate Modern;
London Bridge;
Tower Bridge;
the Tower of London;
the Tate Britain on the Embankment;
the British Museum in Bloomsbury.
There are many other places of interest across the city.
Dating back to 1723, when it was a coffeee house frequented by fops and dandies (like us), this is a fine old pub with mock medieval half-timbering both inside and out plus the odd spot of stained glass.
(for more - Nightlife tips)
Every night at 9. 53 p. m. the Chief Warder of the Yeomen Warders (Beefeaters) of the Tower of London lights a candle lantern and then makes his way towards the Bloody Tower.
In the Archway his Escort await his arrival. The Chief Warder, carrying the keys, then moves off with his Escort to the West Gate, which he locks, while the Escort "present arms". Then the Middle and Ryward Towers are locked.
- Pros:amazing city
- In a nutshell:it's never enough time...

Taper for night-lights
Abstract available in
Claims available in
Description (OCR text may contain errors)
{No Model.)
No. 484,210 Patented oct. 11, 1892.
INVENTOH 3 I Judd a BYWMM ATTORNEYJ,
UNITED STATES PATENT OFFicE.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 484,210, dated October 1 1, 1892.
Application filed December 29, 1891. Serial No. 416,486. (No model.)
used in connection with an adequate swimmer consisting of a circular plate that is supported by corks on sweet oil or other illuminating substances.
The object of this invention is to furnish an improved taper for night-lights which can be manufactured at less cost than the tapers used and made heretofore and which is superior to the same, as it will burn for a greater length of time without giving out and the invention consists of a taper for night-lights,
composed of a supporting-disk of suitable press-board or other suitable material provided with a central opening and short radial recesses extending from said opening, into which the lower end of the waxed wick is pressed, so as to form an enlarged head, by which the reliable connection of the wick with the disk is obtained.
In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 represents a perspective view ofa night-light with my improved taper. top view of the disk. Fig. 3 isa vertical transverse section of the taper on line 3 3 of Fig. 4; and Fig. i is a plan View, the wick being shown in horizontal section.
Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.
Referring to the drawings, A represents a disk, which forms a base-and support for the waxed wick B, said disk being preferably Fig. 2 is a detail of the slots open, so that the oil has ready access to the wick of the taper. Without the slots it was found that not only the connection between the base and wick was not so reliable, but thesuction of the wick on the oil was not sufficient to sustain the taper for a long period of time. With the slots the taper can be used continuously for thirty hours.
Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent v 1. A taper for night-lights, composed of a disk having a central opening and radial slots, and a wick inserted into said opening and formed into a head at the under side of the disk, substantially as set forth.
2. A taper for night-lights, composed of a disk having a central opening and radial slots extending from said opening and a wick the lower end of which is made to form a head, portions ofwhich are pressed into the inner ends of the radial slots, but leaving the outer ends of the same open, substantially as set forth.
In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my invention I have signed my name in presence of two subscribing witnesses.

Decisions remain for Girardi as spring winds down
Bullpen picture not yet finalized; prospects inching closer to Bronx auditions
TAMPA, Fla. -- The Yankees are nearing the end of a Spring Training that has been run about as well as Joe Girardi could have hoped, and now the manager believes that he will have some difficult calls to make during the final week of camp.
It remains possible, Girardi said, that the Yankees will go into the regular season without naming a set closer. That would create a situation in which Dellin Betances and Andrew Miller are asked to share the ninth-inning duties, an arrangement that both pitchers say they would embrace.

Hey everyone,
Yup, it's another heat stick thread. I went with this build but went for the L shaped pipe instead of straight: http://www.3d0g.net/brewing/heatstick
I diluted the JB-weld to make it quite liquid so I could por it down the tube and it would flow easily into the nooks and crannies of the L pipe and heating element. I noticed as I added mroe acetone, that the JB Weld started to look almost chunky, with distinct grey and black dots (as if it didn't mix...and I mixed that bitch up hard). I checked some spots on the side of the tube where there is only a small spec of JB Weld and it still isnt dry (24 hrs later) nevermind the pool that is sitting at the bottom of my pipe.
Did I over do the acetone, or does it just mean I will have to wait longer for it to dry. I am in no rush, so I don't mind waiting...but I don't want to wait on something that I doomed in the first place.
edit: I forgot to mention that I did coat the heating element electrical parts (and connected wires) with a healthy amount of non-diluted JB Weld. I let it dry for 24 hrs, than poured the diluted JB Weld down the tube. I DO NOT PLAN ON JB WELDING ANY SEAMS OR ANYTHING ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE STICK (if I can help it...if I find out my thinned JB Weld is compromised, I will probably seal the living hell out of the outside coupler that holds the element to the pipe.)
i kinda feel the J.B. weld will be weakened by the dilution.
you may be able to find two part epoxy in a tube in your area.
granted it may be way too much then you need and expensive but it will do what you want.
i have used it to set rail posts in concrete for safety rails at work,,,when I did work...retired now and it was excellent.
the product may came in a one or a two tube version; side by side.
break the seal, pump the handle to mix and then insert into a caulk gun for the single tube. the two tube system will self feed using the handle supplied.
hope this helps.....
Thanks for the reply!
Maybe next time I try this I will use your suggestion, but I am already invested in these two sticks so I am curious as to what to expect. I really hope I didn't just waste 100$ on two hunks of glue, metal and plastic...
edit: I emailed JB weld...I will post the gist of the reply if/when I get one!
reviving...what did you find out?
I never thinned the JB weld. But rather would just glob a hefty amount up inside the stick, assemble and let it run down once the stick is assembled. I think I recall reading that over thinned JB doesn't perform all that well.
I never really cared for the JB weld...the stuff has an odor and I never was overly impressed. Last few sticks I've assembled I just used silicone with good results. You do need to leave the top end of the stick open for a few days or the silicon doesn't cure. Found that out the hard way.
No JB just silicone for me.
I actually have four sticks, built two new ones a while back, then rebuilt two tired ones. Handy to have a spare cause eventually they seem to have issues and need maintenance. But overall they are pretty reliable. Pretty happy with the results of just using a boatload of silicone sealant during assembly, then wipe any excess leaving just a trace on the outside to help seal.

"There comes a time in your life, when you walk away from all the drama and people who create it. You surround yourself with people who make you laugh. Forget the bad, and focus on the good. Love the people who treat you right, pray for the ones who don't. Life is too short to be anything but happy. Falling down is a part of life, getting back up is living."
Thank you very much, Annz!
A hug!
Thank you so much for showing us this. I love the July block particularly and want to start it soon!
Hello! Thanks a lot! Very lucky to you with them! A hug!

Normandy is a geographical region of France corresponding to the former Duchy of Normandy. The continental territory covers 30,627 km/sq and forms the preponderant part of Normandy and roughly 5% of the territory of France. The population of Normandy is around 3.45 million. The name of Normandy is derived from the settlement of the territory by Vikings ("Northmen") from the 9th century, and confirmed by treaty in the 10th century.

As a photographer I like to be on the move, physically and technically, trying out new approaches and discovering new paths. I believe artists should continually challenge themselves and experiment in order to progress creatively and to keep ideas fresh and vital. My primary aim is to capture the essential quality of the experience before me at the very moment the shutter closes. I then allow the subject to dictate the precise levels of tone or colour required for the final image. These decisions are key to my creative process and something I find continually challenging and inspiring. Dave Bowman Photography

FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. (AP) — A wildfire burning in a scenic Arizona canyon is expected to nearly triple in size as crews scramble to get the upper hand in less rugged terrain.
Arizona wildfire expected to nearly triple in size
Fire managers plan to let the flames that have been climbing and swirling about the canyon walls burn through flatter lands and into a sort of catcher's mitt to the north and the west, Deputy Incident Commander Pruett Small said Friday. That means the fire could grow to nearly 36 square miles if rain doesn't stop it.
"This is the roughest country in America," he said. "We can't send firefighters right next to the black and march them up a hill. We have to go around to the top and make a big box."
The goals for fire managers are to protect the 300 structures threatened in Oak Creek Canyon, keep the fire from pushing into the communities of Forest Highlands and Kachina Village to the east, and minimize the potential for flooding.
Fire managers said the blaze has cost $2.2 million to fight as of Friday and might take up to 10 more days to fully control.
Firefighters took advantage of cool and calm weather Friday to carry out plans to choke off the blaze as Memorial Day travelers were forced to alter their travel plans because of the fire.
Hotshot crews marched along a winding highway that is a key front in their effort and set fire to the ground to rob the wildfire of fuel and keep it from crossing the road. Helicopters dropped explosive chemicals in the steepest parts of the canyon that firefighters can't reach. Crews on the plateau widened lines to the northwest where the fire was spreading.
"There might be a huge spike in size, but we want the public to know we're controlling the fire," fire spokesman Dillon Winiecki said "We are fighting it on our own terms."
The human-caused Slide Fire started Tuesday and by Friday had burned more than 11 square miles in and around Oak Creek Canyon, a scenic recreation area along the highway between Sedona and Flagstaff that normally would be filled with tourists as Memorial Day approaches. The cause is under investigation, but a campfire has been ruled out, said Coconino National Forest spokeswoman Heather Noel.

'Best'-laid plans forming
Consultant analyzing uses for building
A consulting firm is working to help Henrico County officials determine the best way to utilize the former Best Products headquarters building, located at Parham Road and I-95, which the county purchased last December for $6.2 million.
The county hired the Washington, D.C. office of architecture and design firm Gensler this summer to conduct a study of the 93-acre site and county agencies that could be relocated there. The firm expects to complete its study and make recommendations by April, Henrico General Services Director Chris Winstead told the Citizen last week.
County officials jumped at the chance to acquire the site, which was vacated by Best Products in 1998 and later used by Bank of America until 2010. It features 286,000 square feet of usable office space – more than what exists at the county's western government center and annex on Parham Road.
"It's exciting for us," Winstead said of the possibilities for the building. "It's a great opportunity. The reason we exist is to serve our citizens. Whatever happens at Best Plaza, it's going to be something focused on, 'How do we better serve our citizens in the years ahead?'"
Officials from Gensler and its local partner firm, BCWH, have been interviewing and surveying officials from each county agency viewed as a potential fit for the Best site – those whose needs are limited primarily to office space – Winstead said.
After receiving Gensler's recommendation in the spring, county officials will hire an architectural firm to design the first phase of occupancy. (Officials intend to move agencies into the building in several phases rather than all at once, Winstead said.)
In addition to providing centralized space for a number of county agencies, the Best building will provide Henrico with relief from rental fees. The county currently leases about 141,000 square feet of office space at 12 different locations to house various departments, Winstead said.
"There would be a sizable reduction in the amount of leased space over time," Winstead said. "Certainly, that is an opportunity for us, and we're definitely sensitive to that. We see this as a very good opportunity to map out a plan for many, many years to come."
Freeing up office space at the county's western government center could provide opportunity for the expansion of the county's courthouse, which is quickly outgrowing its space there. For nearly a decade, county officials have discussed the need for a new courthouse, but the price tag has been estimated at more than $80 million. Without a bond referendum, no funding for such a facility expense exists.
The Best Products building was built in three phases during an eight-year period, beginning in 1977. In addition to office space, the complex includes a cafeteria, jogging trails and a softball field.
The building itself features an open floor plan, Winstead said, with an atrium that is several stories in height. The facility is in relatively good shape, he said, but a number of improvements will be necessary before county employees move in.
Officials also intend to upgrade the site to make it more energy efficient, Winstead said.

A taste of Japan
Ichiban offers rich Asian flavors, but portions lack
In a spot that could be easily overlooked is a surprising, and delicious, Japanese restaurant. In a tiny nook in the shops at the corner of Ridgefield Parkway and Pump Road sits a welcoming, warm and comfortable Asian restaurant called Ichiban, which means "the best."
The restaurant, tucked between a couple others in the Gleneagles Shopping Center, was so quiet and dark that it was difficult to tell if it was open at 6:30 p.m. on a Monday. When I opened the door, I smiled when I looked inside. > Read more.
One beauty of a charmer
Disney's no-frills, live-action 'Cinderella' delights
Cinderella is the latest from Disney's new moviemaking battle plan: producing live-action adaptations of all their older classics. Which is a plan that's had questionable results in the past.
Alice in Wonderland bloated with more Tim Burton goth-pop than the inside of a Hot Topic. Maleficent was a step in the right direction, but the movie couldn't decide if Maleficent should be a hero or a villain (even if she should obviously be a villain) and muddled itself into mediocrity.
Cinderella is much better. Primarily, because it's just Cinderella. No radical rebooting. No Tim Burton dreck. It's the 1950 Disney masterpiece, transposed into live action and left almost entirely untouched. > Read more.

Contact (1997) Sci-Fi Movie Review
Sci-Fi movies Review
I was in for a bad surprise when I saw this movie. I though this movie was all about interaction with aliens or something like this. The movie was so slow and boring that it was just like A.I. The whole movie is about hearing a broadcast from outer space that is really instructions on how to build a machine to transverse space in order to meet the aliens. You only see the aliens for like the last 5 minutes of the movie, what a disappointer.
Synopsis:Dr. Ellie Arroway, after years of searching, finds conclusive radio proof of intelligent aliens, who send plans for a mysterious machine.

The hotel staff was very polite and extremely helpful. The hotel room is spacious and grand, quite medieval venetian style. The hotel gardens and the surroundings are fascinating for an early morning stroll. Do eat in the hotel even though it's expensive as their executive chef menu is something to behold. I will always remember the valentine's day special menu; it was super! - Bassam
Excellent customer service on check in, at breakfast and from housekeeping staff.
We struggled to find the property on arrival, and were stood opposite looking a little lost when a guy emerged and asked us if we were looking for the B&B. He then carried our bags upstairs, gave us the key and showed us to a delightful rooftop terrace while we waited for our room to be ready (we had arrived early). Excellent. - Anonymous

We loved everything about Ca' Gottardi. The staff was so friendly

available to enjoy with your biscotti...Wonderful breakfast with melon,

TYLER, TEXAS (KETK) — Many people take high cholesterol medication because our doctors tell us we need them.
On Tuesday, new guidelines were released for how cholesterol medication will be dispensed.
We spoke to Cardiologist, Dr. Scott Lieberman of Cardiovascular Associates of East Texas about the new guidelines.
He says, there's a panel looking at previous guidelines and probably see that the population has been under treated as to treating a specific group.
Statins are the most widely prescribed prescription drug for controlling high Cholesterol.
"Statins are a class of medications the more common ones people are more aware of such at Liptor, or Atorvastatin, Zocor, Simvastatin," says Dr. Scott Lieberman.
Dr. Lieberman says, the panel of the American Heart Association and American College of Cardiology released new guidelines.
"The new guidelines are being broaden to try to get more people treated with statins at least at some level to try to reduce the long-term risk of heart disease secondary to cholesterol," says Dr. Scott Lieberman.
They're looking at four groups, they say statins do most good for, Dr. Scott Lieberman explains.
1.) People who are at increase risk of heart disease.
2.) People greater than 40 years old, who have a greater than 7.5 percent chance of having a heart attack over the next ten years and there's a formula trying to come up with that.
3.) People with an LDL Cholesterol Level greater 190.
4.) People who've had a prior heart attack or stroke or vascular incident and diabetics.
KETK spoke to East Texans about the new guidelines.
Marlene Horn of Quitman says, it's always changing, today you've got to take it to keep yourself alive.
Horn lost her husband last year, and tell us he had high-cholesterol and an irregular heart-rate.
"My husband was on Statens I don't know if they helped him or not," says Horn.
"The number of people that are not being treated in fairly high even though we are treating huge numbers of people now, there are probably a lot of people that are not having their risk factors adequately controlled," says Dr. Scott Lieberman.

A Challenge to Our Beliefs
Depressing news about black students scoring far below white students on various mental tests has become so familiar that people in different parts of the ideological spectrum have long ago developed their different explanations for why this is so. But both may have to do some rethinking, in light of radically different news from England.
The November 9th-15th issue of the distinguished British magazine "The Economist" reports that, among children who are eligible for free meals in England's schools, black children of immigrants from Africa meet the standards of school tests nearly 60 percent of the time — as do immigrant children from Bangladesh and Pakistan. Black children of immigrants from the Caribbean meet the standards less than 50 percent of the time.
At the bottom, among those children who are all from families with low enough incomes to receive free meals at school, are white English children, who meet the standards 30 percent of the time.
"The Economist" points out that, in one borough of London, white students scored lower than black students in any London borough.
These data might seem to be some kind of fluke, but they confirm the observations in a book titled "Life at the Bottom" by British physician Theodore Dalrymple. He said that, among the patients he treated in a hospital near a low-income housing project, he could not recall any white 16-year-old who could multiply nine by seven. Some could not even do three times seven.
What jolts us is not only that this phenomenon is so different from what we are used to seeing in the United States, but also that it fits neither the genetic nor the environmental explanation of black-white educational differences here.
These white students in England come from the same race that produced Shakespeare and the great scientist Sir Isaac Newton, among other world class intellects over the centuries. But today many young whites in England are barely literate, and have trouble with simple arithmetic. Nor are these white students the victims of racial discrimination, much less the descendants of slaves.
With the two main explanations for low performances on school tests obviously not applicable in England, there must be some other explanation. And once there is some other explanation in this case, we have to wonder if that other explanation — whatever it is — might also apply in the United States, to one degree or another.
In other words, maybe our own explanations need reexamination.
What do low-income whites in England and ghetto blacks in the United States have in common? It cannot be simply low incomes, because children from other groups in the same low-income brackets outperform whites in England and outperform blacks in America.
What low-income whites in England and ghetto blacks in the United States have in common is a generations-long indoctrination in victimhood. The political left in both countries has, for more than half a century, maintained a steady and loud drumbeat of claims that the deck is stacked against those at the bottom.
The American left uses race and the British left uses class, but the British left has been at it longer. In both countries, immigrants who have not been in the country as long have not been so distracted by such ideology into a blind resentment and lashing out at other people.
In both countries, immigrants enter a supposedly closed society that refuses to let anyone rise — and they nevertheless rise, while the native-born at the bottom remain at the bottom.
Those who promote an ideology of victimhood may imagine that they are helping those at the bottom, when in fact they are harming them, more so than the society that the left is denouncing.
We in America have gotten used to vast gaps between blacks and whites on test scores. But this was not always the case, in places where there was anything like comparable education.
Back in the 1940s, before the vast expansion of the welfare state and the ideology of victimhood used to justify it, there was no such gap on test scores between black schools in Harlem and white, working class schools on New York's lower east side.
You can find the data on pages 40-41 of an article of mine in the Fall 1981 issue of "Teachers College Record," a journal published by Columbia University — that is, if you think facts matter more than rhetoric or social visions.

They also have tremendous food at the check in office, deli meats and BBQ. Digital Cable has just been installed and the Wifi was more than adequate. The park has a large number of really nice cabins that come with linens. One of the nicest places we have stayed. We already promised the owner we would return. We camped at Bodnarosa Motel and Campgrounds in a Motorhome.Undo
Date of Stay: October, 2013 - $31.00
Nice park for our overnight stay. Office staff helpful. There is a full service deli in the office. Sites mostly gravel, good Wi-Fi. Web site states easy access from both Interstates 80 and 81. Access from 81 was a nightmare. Park is located on Route 11. Shortly after turning onto Route 11 we encountered a detour. Our mistake then was relying on GPS, which took us through downtown Wilkes Barre, not fun with a 38' trailer. Easy from I-80, just exit on Route 11 and travel approximately 10 miles. We camped at Bodnarosa Motel and Campgrounds in a Fifth Wheel.Undo
