More than 40 years ago, Jack Metrock took his last ride in an EA-6A Intruder as he headed back from Vietnam.
The 69-year-old retired Marine got another flight, of sorts, last week when he took a ride in an EA-6B Prowler simulator at his old home base at Cherry Point.
Metrock was an electronic countermeasures officer with Marine Composite Reconnaissance Squadron 1 and had been trained at Cherry Point at VMCJ-2. His training then and the training today's pilots receive is worlds apart, he said.
"There is just no comparison," Metrock said after piloting a simulator flight from Cherry Point. "We didn't have any simulators. We had just a stock A-6 cockpit, and we just learned the switches. This is something."
Metrock said technicians would remove units from the cockpit and teach pilots the operations.
"They would take the boxes out and put them on a workbench and teach you how to use it," he said.
Part of the job of an ECMO was to detect and identify the unique sound of a particular type of radar.
"We used our ears," Metrock said. "We listened to the spectrum. You had to pass a test to where you could identify them."
While today's simulators create the various radar signatures for the ECMO, in the 1960s Metrock's training included listening for the real thing.
"We actually had to take an airplane and fly it down to Cuba and get Fidel (Castro) to fire up his radar to see what we were going to experience in Southeast Asia," he said. "He had the same radars and missile systems that we would be facing in Vietnam. We had to get close enough to push the subject so the subject would fire his radars up and play with us."
The EA-6A had a pilot and an ECMO, but the EA-6B has a pilot and three ECMOs.
Metrock had a chance to sit in the back seat where the 3 and 4 positions are in the EA-6B training simulator but wasn't able to see the unit turned on because it is classified.
"I wish I could see what the ECMOs are seeing but I understand," he said.
He was able to "fly" the EA-6B in the simulator though, taking off from Cherry Point, heading out over the Atlantic and experiencing conditions of a thunderstorm. He then returned to the base and was able to land the jet on his third approach.
"I was impressed. I was blown away by the actual realness of the event," he said. "I tell you what: This would have made life a whole lot easier."
Ricky Johnson, a former EA-6B pilot who is now a CUBIC Corporation contractor who instructs Marine pilots on the EA-6B, said the simulator can create the environment for airfields around the world.
"You name it, we can take them there," Johnson said.
He said any type of emergency can be created in the simulator, with the pilots and ECMOs benefitting from the pressure they receive in training.
"They come out sweating like you wouldn't believe. It's just like the real thing," Johnson said.
All of it impressed Metrock.
"This is like Star Trek to me," he said. "It's state-of-the-art."
Metrock is a member of the Marine Corps Aviation Reconnaissance Association, an organization of active-duty and retired Marines from the electronic warfare community.
"We're looking for new members," he said. "One of our missions is to support Marine Corps electronic warfare."

Interactive Metronome
What is Interactive Metronome (IM)?
Interactive Metronome is an intensive computer based program used to improve a child's processing abilities that affect attention, motor planning, sensory processing and sequencing. Interactive Metronome is available through the All Children's Hospital Occupational Therapy Department.
Goals of Interactive Metronome
Improve independence with self-care activities
Improve performance in sports and leisure activities
Improve attention related to daily function
Improve academic performance and ability to follow directions
Improve self esteem and social skills
Improve behavior, aggression and impulsivity
Program Overview
The Occupational Therapist uses this program to tailor a treatment plan specific to each child's needs. The computer challenges the child to precisely match a rhythmic beat with synchronized hand and foot exercises. The child is given feedback through headphones that tells them how "on beat" they are. This feedback guides the child and helps improve their timing and ability to plan actions. This is a short-term intensive program scheduled in one-hour training sessions, 2-5 times per week. This may be in place of your regularly scheduled Occupational Therapy sessions.
Who is a Candidate for IM?
Children 6 years or older
Children with a diagnosis of ADD/ADHD, Sensory-Motor Disorder, Anxiety related to Sensory Processing/Modulation Disorders, Autism Spectrum Disorder, Asperger Syndrome, Cerebral Palsy, or Motor Incoordination
Children with identified deficits in motor planning, attention and concentration, and/or academic performance
How Do I Get Started?
If your child is already enrolled in occupational therapy (OT), talk to your therapist. If you are not currently enrolled in therapy, discuss this with your pediatrician and obtain a prescription for "OT evaluation and treatment".
Contact the Rehabilitation Services Patient Access Service Center at 727-767-7272 to schedule an appointment for an OT evaluation.

The Asia-Pacific region has made considerable progress towards the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). The rapid economic growth achieved in many countries of the region has helped lift millions of people out of poverty. Governments have made substantial investments in education and health services and in protecting their most vulnerable people. Nevertheless, the region is still off track on many crucial MDG indicators, including child and maternal mortality. In many countries, economic achievements have also had environmental costs.
During the Fifth Asia-Pacific Urban Forum, the first-ever State of Asian Cities report was launched. This report is a result of the collaborative effort of UN-HABITAT and ESCAP and their partners UN Environment Programme (UNEP), and the United Cities and Local Governments – Asia-Pacific Regional Section (UCLG-ASPAC).
The Asia-Pacific region has made striking progress towards achieving the Millennium Development Goals. Nevertheless, on present trends many countries are likely to miss a number of the targets. This report focuses on opportunities for making more rapid progress – identifying some of the most promising paths to 2015.
This paper examines the progress made so far in achieving the trade targets of Millennium Development Goal 8 ("Building a Global Partnership for Development") with respect to the Least Developed Countries (LDCs) of Asia and the Pacific. The paper uses data from the OECD, WTO and UNDP, among others, to measure the MDG indicators 8.6, 8.7 and 8.9 with respect to these countries, thereby quantifying some of the impacts in these countries of recent global and national policy changes in the areas of market access, tariff preferences for LDCs and Aid for Trade.
After the first global economic contraction in recent history, a rebound began to take shape among Asian and Pacific countries. The regional rebound remains fragile and uneven with a number of downside risks. Turning it into a sustained recovery will make 2010 a year of complex policymaking, far exceeding that of emergency crisis management in 2009, with rising inflationary tendencies and asset bubbles.
This paper was commissioned by the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asian and the Pacific (hereafter ESCAP) as part of a global project entitled "Strengthening National Mechanisms for Gender Equality and the Empowerment of Women". The project is a joint project between the United Nations Division for the Advancement of Women and the five United Nations Regional Commissions. It aims to strengthen collaborations and synergies between different mechanisms at national level to facilitate the goals of gender equality and the empowerment of women.
Since the adoption of the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action in 1995, there has been progress in some areas towards achieving gender equality in the Asia and Pacific region. Despite the progress made, however, women in the region continue to face discrimination and persistent constraints to achieving gender equality and empowerment.

Yeah I really tried to like Pelicans but just do not...at all.
Pelicans for life! Creole blue and gold get it done Benson! I hate Mardi Gras Uni's they're nice every once in a while but not as full time colors.

And when we suck we can be called The Pelican'ts !
I really want to get behind the "Pelican" movement, but I just can't. Everytime I say New Orleans Pelicans it just doesn't sound right. "Who dat say they gone beat them Pelicans" Sorry it justs doesn't work.
One issue is that Pelicans doesn't have an obvious abberviation, shorthand like Timberwolves had. P-Cans? Pelys? Dem Birds?
Dem PCans.
With purple and pinstripes from days gone by, I trumpet Hugo's name to the NOLA sky. When rebranders and posers abuse their might, beware my power, TEAL LANTERN'S LIGHT!
Charlotte Slobcats All-Time Records (11 Total Seasons)-- 50-win seasons:0, losing seasons:9, playoff series wins:0, division titles: 0, identity theft: 1.
They swear up and down that they invented that phrase to. Just changing "Dat" to "Dey" doesn't mean a thing.
Who dey doesn't even sound right. At least "Who dat?" follows some kind of sense. Who they? Who the hell says that?
It should be "Who dem?" at the least.
New Orleans Pelicans was the name of our baseball team for over 80 years.
They were very frequently abbreviated "Pels". One version of their cap in 1977 had "Pels" written across it.
So, not sure how anyone can say "New Orleans Pelicans" doesn't sound right or that it has no abbreviation.
Our own sports history contradicts both statements.
A football game can't stop hurricanes.
It can't fix levees.
Or rebuild houses.
But it can let a city know...
That it's a city once again.
Welcome back, New Orleans.
I'm digging the Pelicans. I really am. Especially if they use the black/gold/red logo from earlier in the thread. I LOVE that logo!
It's starting to make sense... connect the dots. Gayle Benson hinted at a black/red/gold combo. The old baseball Pelicans used red (as far as I can tell). Homage to the old team of the same name, perhaps.

ELON — As Elon University officially announced Thursday that it will jump from the Southern Conference to the Colonial Athletic Association, a pair of easels flanked the stage that commanded the room's attention.
The images on display there — 11 states, the breadth of the CAA highlighted from South Carolina to Maine — provided both a handy reference for locating where Elon will fit in its new league and also a central theme pertaining to the move, which takes effect in the 2014-15 academic year.
Yes, Elon clearly must undertake increased travel costs in stepping into a larger league footprint that spans the East Coast.
But the Phoenix believes the benefits of joining the CAA, and leaving behind a degree of uncertainty attached to the depleted Southern Conference, dwarf the concerns of navigating greater distances.
"You have to decide if you're going to do something with your entity, 'What's the investment? Is the investment worth it?' " Elon athletics director Dave Blank said. "This decision was well-discussed at every level, and we think this is right thing to do. We're all in this together to try to make it work.
"We did not look at this as running from something, but moving toward an opportunity. And there's a big difference there."
Thirty seconds into his opening address, at a lectern decorated with Elon and CAA emblems, Elon president Leo Lambert dived into some of the details supporting "this investment in marketing and institutional profile."
Fifty-six percent of Elon's Class of 2017, which arrives in August, comes from within CAA territory, in particular the Mid-Atlantic and New England, including 12 percent from Massachusetts alone, home to league member Northeastern and close by to football-only associates Albany, New Hampshire and Rhode Island.
Lambert said the CAA matches well with Elon's alums — about 5,300 live within 50 miles of CAA schools — especially those in New York, Boston, Philadelphia and Baltimore, markets that encompass spots where member schools such as Hofstra, Drexel, Towson and Delaware are located.
"It's a concern," Lambert said of funding the additional expenses, "but it's one that I'm confident we can meet.
"You can think of it in one sense as athletic travel money, and it is. But it's also marketing money for the institution in a very real sense. And I think this is a really good way to promote Elon University in its most strategic corridor."
When Elon joins the CAA next summer — after paying $900,000 in transitional fees for its Southern Conference exit and CAA entrance — that corridor can be divided into two groups of five full-time members, a Northern district from Baltimore up to Boston and a Southern section from Virginia down into the Carolinas.
CAA commissioner Tom Yeager pointed to those regionalized clusters as critical scheduling components that should ease the burden of travel costs and missed class time for Elon and its future league partners.
"I can't move Philadelphia any closer to Elon," Yeager said. "But I can guarantee you, across the board, we're going to be playing the people that are closest to us as many times that make sense.
"What we're trying to do is create kind of a core grouping of schools that have a lot of identification between each other, that make those kinds of travel things easier."
The CAA's television deals with NBC Sports Network and Comcast SportsNet figure to be helpful, too, in terms of avenues for exposure that the Southern Conference noticeably has lagged in.
Noel Allen, representing Elon's board of trustees Thursday, said heightened fundraising will be an important aspect moving forward, given the expansive ground the Phoenix's teams soon will be covering in the CAA.
"We understand the implications," Allen said. "We regard it as a very important step in the trajectory of this institution. An opportunity to find an excellent fit with regard to athletic conference, a fit with regard to where our students are coming from now and also where our opportunities lie ahead."

Frans Ludeke says much of the Bulls' fortunes will depend on their ability to remedy their breakdown ill-discipline.
Officiating at the breakdown has come into greater focus in recent years with a number of amendments to the laws governing that facet of play. Trends reflect that officials have progressed from heavily favouring the attacking team to shifting to a more balanced approach.
The Bulls' defensive success in Super Rugby has rested largely on a strong tackle point and breakdown contest. They struggled in this area last season, conceding more breakdown penalties than any other franchise. Culprit in chief was openside flank Deon Stegmann, who, having been excellent in their 2009 and 2010 campaigns, was decidedly mediocre in 2011. For those reasons it was no surprise that they conceded more points and tries than any of the elite franchises.
Ludeke said this was deeply concerning for them and that much emphasis was placed on addressing their shortcomings.
'There has been a directive from the IRB to clamp down on stifling play at the breakdown, but I think there will be an even greater balance between continuity and contest this season,' Ludeke said.
'Last year was poor for us from a breakdown perspective. We were the most disciplined side in 2009 and 2010 when we won it. To drop from being the best to being the worst is unacceptable. To be in the play-offs you have to excel at the breakdown. Your discipline has to be very, very good, especially against the top sides, who will punish you heavily if it isn't.'
The Bulls open their campaign against the Sharks on Friday and Ludeke said he is prepared for a forward onslaught that will be a stern test of his stated objectives.
'They have a dynamic and powerful pack and always look to take us on up front,' he said. 'They'll want to play through many phases but our coaching staff was happy with the way we defended for multiple phases in our warm-up matches. Obviously those matches didn't replicate match intensity in Super Rugby but structurally we're pleased with how we've done.
'It's a South African derby on the opening weekend. I don't have to tell you that it will be brutally physical. Standing strong at the tackle point will be important if we are going to achieve our goals at the breakdown.'
The Bulls were hard hit by a mass exodus of senior players at the end of 2011 and their cause has been further undermined by injuries to key men Wynand Olivier (hand) and Dewald Potgieter (cut tendons in his arm). There are also a number of fringe players nursing injuries of varying severity. Their depth will be tested but Ludeke proclaimed faith in his young bucks.
'I have complete confidence in the players who will get their opportunities in the coming weeks. Their mettle will be tested in Super Rugby. Technically I have few concerns and mentally we try to build players of the highest calibre. I believe they'll tick both boxes.'

Fulfill missions to upgrade your car and kill zombies by the way
Here we are again. 360 Mb later, zombies took over your city and, instead of sheltering in an underground bunker full of supplies along your college crush, you preferred to ride a car that seems ruled out from Mad Max films. Of course, zombies applauded your initiative and gathered to, well, you know, eat you.
Game's played in a 3D sand-box like map where several kinds of zombies, every one with its own modus operandi. You have to move, skid and attack them with whatever weapon you have, and here's the best part: there are from submachine guns to flamethrowers. Likewise, there are quite a bunch of different cars, so even though Gears and Guts may be a little bit repetitive -it's an over sophisticated version of Asteroids if you think it- the wide array of vehicles and weapons ensure a nice degree of replayability. Anyway, mission system lets you enjoy a nice line linear campaign mode in which you visit different scenarios and have several goals to fulfill, so it will keep you entertained for several hours before you need to go to store and buy an upgrade or something. Sound deserves a special mention, because it's above average.
In short, a nice game with lots of things to do. Ads are shown when you replay a level or are browsing through the menus, and there's an in-app purchase to buy premium items.
Just wait until they hear the roar of your engines!
In Gears & Guts, the city's hopes rest on you and your collection of nitro-burning, bullet-spitting, four-wheeled engines of destruction. Crush the undead beneath your tires. Tear the undead limb-from-rotten-limb with whatever military gear and experimental weapons you can bolt to your car. Power-slide a path to victory!

Walney mum's special deliveries in double quick time
Last updated at 15:41, Wednesday, 13 June 2012
ALLISON Hart is the envy of mothers everywhere.
Not only does she have six beautiful children, but the labours for three of them have each lasted scarcely longer than it takes to boil an egg or two.
Five years ago the Evening Mail told the remarkable story of Mrs Hart giving birth to her daughter Jade in the bath after being in labour for just seven minutes.
Two years prior to that her son Michael was born on the pavement outside Furness General Hospital just 30 minutes after Mrs Hart started contractions.
And last Monday Mrs Hart was at it again, with the beautiful Olivia Rose popping out while her mum took a bath in her Thames Road home in Walney – setting a new family record of five minutes in labour.
Proud husband and father Christopher Hart who, knowing there was no hope of getting his wife to hospital in time, stepped forward to deliver his daughter into the world.
"My wife was feeling uncomfortable and got up to run a bath to relax herself," he said.
"She was standing in the bath when the baby started to come and I didn't want the same thing to happen with Olivia as happened to Michael or Jade, when the cord actually snapped and she dropped into the water.
"So I phoned the ambulance and I had the telephone on speaker while I was in the bathroom and told the woman my wife has a tendency to have really, really quick labours.
"She talked me through it and told me how I had to gently put upward pressure on (Olivia's) head at the same time as my wife was pushing.
"The whole thing took about five minutes. She was born by the time the ambulance turned up."
Mr Hart said there appeared to be no explanation for his wife's breathtaking efficiency when it came to childbirth.
"There's nothing medically wrong and as far as the children are concerned they are all healthy," he said.
"It's just one of those things."
Olivia is a little sister for Stephen, 13, Cameron, 10, Michael, seven, Jade, five and Aston, who is one on Thursday.

NO PROBLEM OF first importance in international relations it less understood in the United States than the economic divergence between the United States and Great Britain. The sudden and unilateral cancellation of Lend-Lease by President Truman has led to a hasty attempt by foreign correspondents and commentators to explain the British situation. But most of these efforts are incomplete and have not sunk far into the American consciousness.
The first use of the atomic bomb against a hostile population has, in spite of its stunning success as a weapon of war, brought forth expressions of guilt and horror from many parts of the world. These emotions have been felt even in the victorious nations, and even by persons who are glad on the whole that it was employed to bring the war to a quick end. They are probably less strong in the United States than in England, which has suffered the actual experience of indiscriminate devastation from the air. It is indeed difficult to justify use of an extreme form of the kind of weapon which hit
As the political campaign goes into its final days, the best informed observers appear to believe that President Roosevelt will win by a substantial margin. Our readers will hardly need to be told that the editors of The New Republic will view such an outcome with satisfaction. There are faults to find with the Roosevelt administration, both in its foreign policy and on the domestic front; we have never hesitated to point out what seemed to us to be failings, and we expect to continue to do so in the future.

Pablo Picante
Between 2009-2012 I worked on illustrations and designs for four Dublin based Burrito restaurants. I worked closely with owner Colm McNamara to create the character Pablo Picante to represent the company. The concept was to create a brand that was authentic and capture the essence of a real taqueria in Mexico. We also worked with the very talented Triskill Design in Dublin who created all of the mosaics and interior paint work which tied it all together.

BAM Contruction Hoarding
This is a heavily typographical project I worked on in the latter half of 2013 with McCann Blue agency in Dublin for BAM Construction. The brief was to create 17 large scale illustrations under the title 'The Art of Construction' that would run 400m at the junction at Newlands Cross.
The idea was to illustrate all of the ingredients that will go into N7 Newlands Cross Freeflow that is is currently under construction and will take two years to complete. I wanted to create 17 distinctive illustrations, all hand drawn, conveying the staggering amount of work, material and man-hours that go into a project of the this scale.
I also wanted to keep them as simple as possible so that they would be easy to read and not too distracting for drivers as they pass. At the same time I wanted the artwork to work as a single piece so used a full spectrum of colours to create a gradient as the viewer passes by. 2014 Architecture, Engineering, Illustration

DURHAM — The first triple play for the Durham Bulls in almost eight years came mostly as a surprise to those on the field except for the guy who started it.
Cole Figueroa was planning on it.
"Every single time somebody gets on first and second, the first thing I think of is 'triple play,' " said Figueroa, the third baseman. "It's just something that always runs through my mind."
And when the ball rolled to Figueroa off the bat of Toledo's Bryan Holaday, it all went into motion.
Around the horn — and the Mud Hens were done with the sixth inning of a game before leaving on a recent road trip.
"First time I've been on the field and been a part of it," said Bulls reliever Steve Geltz said. "I was freaking out I was so excited. We were going nuts in the dugout."
Most of the Bulls were in full celebratory mode as they headed off the field in what became the team's 5-4 International League victory at Durham Bulls Athletic Park.
Not Figueroa. After all, he planned for it this way.
"I kind of go over it in my head that I'm going to do it," he said. "When it happened. I'm like, 'Cool, it actually worked.' "
Figueroa fielded the sharp grounder and touched third base for the first out before throwing to second baseman Vince Belnome. Belnome's relay to first baseman Chris Gimenez was in time to nab Holaday, a 25-year-old catcher.
Veteran manager Charlie Montoyo of the Bulls said he had never witnessed a triple play of that nature, saying it would more likely happen with a line drive that caught runners off base.
"I don't remember seeing one on a ground ball," Montoyo said. "When that ball was hit that way, it's up to the third baseman. If he gives a good feed to the second baseman, which he did, you have a chance ... if it's perfect.
"Of course, it doesn't happen very often. Of course, it was huge."
There wasn't a chance to think about it as it was developing.
"I didn't really have time to process it," said Gimenez, who's normally behind the plate as a catcher.
The situation was set up when Geltz, in his first inning of work, yielded a double to Ben Guez and a walk to Danny Dorn. At that point, Geltz said he was hoping to limit damage.
"There's one. There's two," Geltz said in rehashing the sequence. "And I looked and I saw him (out at first base). I was hoping for two. But three, that was a bonus."
Belnome played most of the first month of the season as a first baseman, but he was groomed as a second baseman earlier in his career.
Three innings before the triple play, Belnome blasted a grand slam. Yet it was the defensive work that might be the lasting memory.
"It just blew my mind when the triple play happened," Belnome said. "I see the ball rolling so I'm thinking let's just pull two here. Then I see Figgy go to the base and then I know I had to turn it. I've just got to do my job at second base and turn it."
Even though Figueroa goes through those situations in his mind, it's not part of the team's preparation.
"You don't ever practice those," he said. "Everything had to go right on schedule. Everything had to go perfect for it to work."
For Gimenez, it was a strange feeling because he hit into a triple play on the Class A level with Lake County in the Cleveland Indians organization.
"That brought back bad memories," he said. "But that's pretty cool being on the other side."
It marked only the second triple play for the Bulls at Durham Bulls Athletic Park since Class AAA play began there in 1998. The other one came Aug. 2, 2005, vs. the Norfolk Tides. That also was the most-recent triple play for the Bulls.

To no surprise, The CW has cancelled their remake of Melrose Place after just one season and 18 episodes.
The new Melrose Place revolves around the same apartment complex as the 1990s original but largely focuses on a new group of characters. The cast includes Katie Cassidy, Stephanie Jacobsen, Jessica Lucas, Michael Rady, Shaun Sipos, Colin Egglesfield, Ashlee Simpson-Wentz, Nicholas Gonzalez, Victor Webster, and Brooke Burns. Appearances by actors Thomas Calabro, Laura Leighton, Heather Locklear, Josie Bissett, and Daphne Zuniga help kept ties to the original alive.
In September, despite a lot of promotion, the first episode attracted a small 1.3 rating in the 18-49 demo and 2.31 million viewers. The numbers fell after that and never came close to even matching the premiere's. The April 4th episode hit a season low, with a horrific 0.4 rating in the demographic and only .86 million viewers.
Even for The CW, the new Melrose Place's ratings were absolutely terrible. Though the last episode of the season left many storylines up in the air, there was no way that it was going to be coming back.
Well, the network made it official this week. Melrose Place has been cancelled and won't be returning for season two.
What do you think? Why didn't this version catch on? Was it a bad idea from the start? Would it have survived if Heather Locklear signed on at the beginning or was including original characters part of why it failed?

Less than a month before the presidential election, a little diner just a short drive from my house made front-page news in The New York Times.
What happened next might make you feel a little better about
First, the back story: Donna Dove has been running Donna's Diner for 13 years in downtown
Donna's always had her loyal customers, but it's safe to say that, until two months ago, most people in my neighborhood and too many in Donna's had never had so much as a cup of her coffee. Then Times writer Dan Barry and photographer Nicole Bengiveno discovered the little diner with Formica countertops, quirky regulars and electric bills that just keep going up and up.
Their story, titled "On the Corner of Hope and Worry," clawed its way into the hearts of people around the world.
This is not an exaggeration. Earlier this week, a friend and I stopped at the diner for breakfast and read some of Donna's letters, and many of the entries in the red notebook she put by the cash register for guests to sign after the story ran.
"I wanted to remember them," she said, handing me the notebook. "People are full of stories, you know."
Yes, they are, starting with Donna. She took a break from cooking and pulled up a chair to talk about some of the customers who sent letters and swarmed her diner after the story ran. They came from down the street and across the country. A lot of them were journalists swarming the battleground state of
She'd never seen anything like it. "Packed," she said. "Packed all the time. I finally had to call the mayor for help."
By "help," she means answering the phone and returning calls.
"Yeah, I did that," Mayor Holly Brinda said, laughing, in a phone interview. "I care about Donna, and she was pretty overwhelmed. She also was getting some inquiries from businesses wanting to know about the city. I wanted to follow-up."
Donna said she's written about 50 thank you notes to kind strangers, but she has a lot more to go. "People are something," she said. "They do the nicest things."
A man from
Many sent money, about $4,000 in all. "I paid my bills," Donna said, before I had the chance to ask. A television celebrity paid her electric bill outright.
Business at the diner is still up by about 50 percent. It seems that once people discover it, they want to return. A new community is growing on the corner of Middle and Second, one customer at a time.
Donna's daughter, Kirsty, works as a waitress at the diner, and she has her own way of acknowledging new customers. "Thank you for breaking your habit," she tells them. "You're so used to Denny's and Bob Evans. You had to change your routine to come here."
Sure, Donna said.
"Please tell your students this: 'The next time you're in the car with your mother or your father, and you're looking for a place to eat, and you see an IHOP on one side and Joe's Diner on the other side, go to Joe's Diner.'"
Not that there's anything wrong with IHOP, she quickly added in recounting this story to me.
"I'm not saying anything bad about those other restaurants," she said. "But you'll find your best friend in a diner."

Thanksgiving is over and the Christmas season is in full swing. Are you excited? We set up our tree this weekend so it's "Beginning to look a lot like Christmas" around here. I'm still contemplating doing some sort of blog hop/blog fest for Christmas but not quite sure. I thought about doing linky parties for a week with a theme for each day but am not settled on that idea 100%. I don't know. I'm so indecisive. I'm also pregnant with a bad sinus infection so I'm sure those 2 things do not help!
Anyhow, enough of my rambling and boring woes, let's get to our linky party this week. For this week lets post CHRISTMAS RELATED PROJECTS ONLY. Show me what you've been working on!

I am interested in finding anyone who might be researching the Dante surname. My grandfather was born in Hawaii to an Italian father (Nautili DANTE) and a Portugese mother (Antonia Cruz). The only document I have been able to find in Hawaii is my grandfather's baptism certificate (no other records: church, vital statistics, census, etc. found). Obviously I am not able to take my research to "Italy" without more to go on.
I am also interested in studying the etymoloy of the Dante name. A colleague from Italy has told me that this name is from a very important family and has a very long history. That Dante is a Latin name which became Durante in Italian. Does anyone know of a resouce (in English?) where I could learn more?
Thanks for your help.

On a recent trip to New York City, I was surprised (and delighted) to find many businesses are now offering free Wi-Fi, from department and electronics stores to the local coffee shops as well as national chains like Starbucks.
Although the private businesses in Paris have been slow to catch on, the city of Paris hasn't been and they offer complimentary Wi-Fi in 400 locations around the city, including public parks and municipal spaces. The Wi-Fi (pronounced wee-fee) is available from 7am to 11pm, or during the hours the park or building is open.

Great yoga pants These are very comfortable and flattering. I like the wide waist band. March 19, 2015
love these yoga pants The best thing about these pants is that when I'm wearing them in yoga class, I'm not aware that I'm wearing them . The fabric, fit, and stretch work beautifully for me. And I love the gray which is a nice change from my usual black yoga pants. November 9, 2014
Great yoga pants! I love these zinni cropped yoga pants. I wear them to Zumba classes. They are comfortable and wash beautifully! August 10, 2014
Hoped for more I was anticipating an excellent product and had waited for the back order patiently. These yoga crops have a nice design, but the fabric fits more like lounge pants. I'm 5'6" and 140 and prefer my yoga pants with a bit more Lycra to help those problem spots behave. For the money, I'll stick with another popular brand often seen in this catalog. June 27, 2014
Terrific pair of cropped pants These pants are so very comfortable and non-binding. They are very flattering as well. June 26, 2014

Customer Raves & Reviews
Very Impressed
My fiance and I were very impressed with our save-the-dates. We were a bit hesitant because we paid $133 for 150 postcards. We expected they would arrive thrown into a cardboard box. The cards arrived in a keepsake box (magnetized closure!) that was in the shipping box with lots of padding. Our cards were wrapped in a satin ribbon on top of a portfolio for wedding invitations complete with all the paper-type samples. We thought we had decided on someone else for the invites, but upon receiving the Save-the-Dates, we've decided to use MagnetStreet instead! Cheap and excellent quality!
Beautiful card
This item came just as it looked on the website. The colors are vibrant, the wording was clear, and the ease of personalizing the cards is a great feature!
Above expectations
I am beyond pleased with our Signature Of Love save the date post cards! I was skeptical about ordering from an online business without being able to see them before I bought them, but I'm very glad I did! The quality is outstanding and there is nothing I don't like about them. The colors are exactly as they appear on the website and our photo came out clear and professional. Everyone who sees them is amazed I found such an outstanding product online. I am absolutely ordering the matching invitations, thank you cards, labels, etc., and I recommend Magnet Street to all future brides!
Fabulous Find
I love this product! It is perfect, and the colors match my wedding perfectly! Great quality and great price.
Effective and Inexpensive Save The Date
The printing quality was excellent. In retrospective, I wish we had used a high-resolution photograph. You don't notice it on the online proof, but can see it in the final product. However, I have no complaints, the postcard turned out well. The 5 x 7 size is ideal, particularly for text on the back of the card as well as for the address label and postage stamp......no need to scrunch everything in. A good amount of space provided, especially considering that the back will be marked up when it is mailed through USPS.

Even though regular exercise is important for cardiovascular health, exercising in hot weather can lead to heat exhaustion or even heat stroke. These conditions result from the production of excess body heat, overwhelming the body's capacity for heat release and raising the core body temperature.
What you should know:
The signs and symptoms of heat exhaustion include:
- heavy sweating
- fatigue
- headache
- pale and clammy skin
- thirst
- increased heart rate
- dizziness or fainting
- nausea and vomiting
- muscle and abdominal cramps
- elevated temperature.
What is heat stroke?
Heat stroke occurs when the core body temperature exceeds 104 degrees F, accompanied by seizure or coma. The primary cause of heat exhaustion and stroke is dehydration with inadequate fluid and electrolyte repletion. Those with the following risk factors are particularly prone to heat exhaustion and stroke: extreme young or old, pregnancy, chronic illness (in particular cardiac or respiratory diseases), alcohol consumption, extreme physical exertion, and certain medications.
So how do I exercise in the heat?

Comments about Greenfield Retro-Fit Top Plate:
This is a fix for the standard, chain-stay mounted Greenfield kickstand on frames where there is enough clearance for the kickstand plate, but not enough clearance for the kickstand plate and the bottom-bracket routed front derailleur.
It does the trick. Although, really, shouldn't Greenfield just make all the plates that come standard the same way. Save some metal and work for more people.

The Springboks have suggested that referee Bryce Lawrence's failure to punish Australia's infringement at the breakdown cost them heavily.
The defending champions conceded 10 breakdown turnovers, with Wallabies openside flank David Pocock being the chief destroyer of their attacking momentum.
Referee Bryce Lawrence came into the Test having awarded among the lowest number of ruck penalties on average in the tournament, and that trend continued as he allowed a greater contest than has been the norm. The Springboks undoubtedly suffered as a result, but they must look at their inability to protect the ball in contact and on the deck as the primary cause for their struggles (they also committed 10 handling errors).
Still, captain John Smit intimated that they were hard done by at the breakdown. 'It [the Wallabies' perceived infringement at the breakdown] was the only talking point between he and I,' Smit said of his on-field interaction with Lawrence. 'The message clearly wasn't going through.'
Asked about Pocock's influence, Smit said: 'I guess he was brilliant at capitalising on the way the breakdown was being interpreted. When you are brave and keep the ball, normally you are rewarded. That wasn't the case tonight.'
Head coach Peter de Villiers echoed Smit's sentiments. 'Tactically we played correctly but the breakdown was a mess,' he said. 'In a quarter-final you have to take your chances and we didn't take ours. Well done to them. They had a few [opportunities] and they took them. For the rest of the time we were in control. A couple of calls never went our way, but now isn't the time to talk about the ref.'
However, Australia coach Robbie Deans, whose side has been heavily penalised by Lawrence in the tournament to date, countered that criticism. 'We didn't see it as that. Maybe both sides were hard done by, then. The breakdown was hotly contested, and maybe things evened themselves out,' he said in a veiled reference to their struggles with the New Zealand official.
Asked to assess Pocock's performance, Deans was emphatic in his response. 'Immense. Remarkable. It was bigger than he got credit for. It was probably the most dominant performance [by an openside flank] in the tournament.'
Deans described this showing as the 'coming of age' of his youthful group, and added: 'Tonight the most experienced side in the tournament turned the screws on the youngest. I don't need to equip these boys with the skills to cope with pressure going forward. They showed that they have that capacity tonight.'

Protest of 150,000 is 'small fry' but Kuwait's emir promises crackdown on corrupt family
Kuwait's Emir has pledged the full application of the law, insisting that no preferential treatment will be extended to anyone, including members of his own family.
"We are not enemies and Kuwait will always remain safe," Shaikh Sabah Al Ahmad Al Sabah said. "We will make sure that nobody transgresses the law because it is above all. We do not have big names or small names and the law would apply to everyone. In fact, we have already applied it against two members of our family," Shaikh Sabah told a gathering of diwaniya — a private social gathering hall— heads.
"Please do speak out your views and opinions. We cannot do without them. We are not angels. So, if you have any view that would benefit Kuwait, please say it. The crown prince and I welcome your views," he said.
The capital, Kuwait City, was this week rocked by the worst violent standoff between anti-riot police and demonstrators who wanted to push their way to the government's seat to protest against the amendment of the 2006 electoral law through a necessity decree. The law up to last week gave each Kuwaiti voter the right to elect four candidates in parliamentary elections in the five constituencies. However, the new law limits the number of votes to one candidate and promotes the principle of "one man, one vote".
The opposition claimed the amendment meant to have a more compliant parliament and pledged to take to the streets to press against any changes to the electoral law. On Sunday evening, three rallies were staged in the capital. Police used teargas and stun grenades to disperse the demonstrators who challenged instructions from the interior ministry to confine protests to the Irada Square and to avoid street rallies.
No final official figures about the casualties have been released, although 14 service men were believed to have sustained wounds in the violence.
The Emir said that Kuwait should move forward instead of being held back. "I want to assure you that there is nothing to fear. There was just a small number of people who abused the situation. We remained patient for around three years and we pray that God guides them," the Emir said.
"Unfortunately, the country has reached a dangerous level and was almost lost. There was chaos and we were forced to use peaceful ways to address the situation. The interior minister and officers were keen that nobody gets hurt. Unfortunately, 14 security men were attacked and the units had to intervene." Demonstrators claimed that they were moving on peacefully and that they were attacked by the police.
However, officials said that the rallies were illegal and that the interior ministry had warned that it would apply a zero-tolerance policy against those who broke the law. "We told the authorities to release the young people who were arrested and to allow them to spend Eid with their families," Shaikh Sabah said. Opposition figures said that they would look at their options following Eid Al Adha, to be celebrated this weekend.
Do you think the Kuwaiti authorities are worried? Or have the significance of the protests been overblown? Tell us what you think below.
Top Headlines
I do not feel they are 'worried' per se, but I would go so far as to say they have some concern with the current situation. I do not feel the significance of protests is overblown, not in Kuwait, and for that matter in any country experiencing unrest from changes in the government. I had posted a comment last evening, addressing His Highness, and after thinking over the amendment made to the electoral law, specifically, 'one man, one vote.' I feel I misread or misinterpreted this part of the article when reading it the first time. You may have four candidates that can be considered for receiving votes, but the change to the electoral law means one citizen will vote for one candidate only. I do not see this amendment as being a threat to the Kuwaiti citizens right to vote, it merely streamlines the process for them by narrowing their selection to one person only. It is no different for us to elect a president, we have three candidates, but only one will win by popular and electoral vote. Many of us in the US feel we no longer should have electoral voting and this will be something the citizens in America will need to address in order to see this kind of change. Kuwait is a very strong city, and its leaders are faithful to community and country. I think at this point, the change just needs to sink in with the voters of Kuwait.
To the Shaikh Sabah Al Ahmad Al Sabah, greetings. I am in process of reading the article about the amendment of the 2006 electoral law, and the change that the new law limits the number of votes to one candidate and promotes the principle of "one man, one vote".Many many Americans are opposed to the electoral votes held by each of our 50 states mandated by the senators within their state to cast an electoral vote whch should be based on the state's citizens, however, that is not the case. The larger states have larger populations and thus have higher electoral votes. If you only provide one candidate, then you take the peoples right away to choose because their is no opposition of canidates. If I am misreading what I read, I do apologize. I strongly believe, as do other Americans, that the voting process to elect [let's say] a president, for example, should be restricted to popular visits alone. Then it is the peoples votes that make the determination. Most all Americans believe in our laws and in our justice system, however, even the best can become corrupt at times. Like you, your highness, no matter what person's station in life is, if you break the law and you are found guilty, you pay the price of your freedom. As for laws that support our faith and belief system, we do also abide by them as best as able and humanly possible.
You are open to suggestions and comments about the situation you are facing in Kuwait with unrest and injuries to citizens because of the voting change you have made. Your cabinet may wish to rethink this change, and possibly include a small forum of citizens to brainstorm what would benefit all parties involved, especially the citizens of Kuwait.
Please know this paper featuring your article doesn't always print comments, or maybe it is because I am an American, but even still, I care about all citizens of the world in the hope that peace will always prevail in the end. Thank you for allowing me to comment.

'Walking Dead' Star Andrew Lincoln Can Save Our Butts Anytime – The Daily Swoon
While you were watching the Grammys, 'The Walking Dead' and its sexy heroic star Andrew Lincoln returned to TV this week. This is why we have DVR.
You know, we'd welcome the apocalypse if it meant that we'd get to hang out with someone like Lincoln all day. The British actor went full-American (guns and a Southern accent, yee-haw) for his role as Sheriff Rick Grimes on the AMC show based on the comic book series. In it, he leads a group of survivors, including his own son, through a zombie apocalypse. You should watch it some time. Andrew saves the day. A lot.
But you're probably more familiar with him from a little movie called 'Love Actually,' in which he has the hots for Keira Knightley but treats her like crap so he doesn't have to admit it. And then he shows up on her doorstep on Christmas Eve with a bunch of cue cards … and you can just watch the video below and let your heart grow three sizes.
Check out some photos of our favorite zombie apocalypse hero — or tune in to AMC on Sunday nights to peep him wielding a gun like he knows what's up.

Comparative Cheap Talk
2007, Journal of Economic Theory
Archishman Chakraborty, Rick Harbaugh
When are comparative statements credible? We show that simple complementarity conditions ensure that an expert with private information about multiple issues can credibly rank the issues for a decision maker. By restricting the expert's ability to exaggerate, multidimensional cheap talk of this form permits communication when it would not be credible in a single dimension. The communication gains can be substantial with even a couple of dimensions, and the complete ranking is asymptotically equivalent to full revelation as the number of issues becomes large. Nevertheless, partial rankings are sometimes more credible and/or more profitable for the expert than the complete ranking. Comparative cheap talk is robust to asymmetries that are not too large. Consequently, for sufficiently many independent issues, there are always some issues sufficiently symmetric to permit comparative cheap talk.

As I sit on the couch, watching the nightly news and pondering what constructive statement I could add to the national discussion on gun control, my 9-year-old son Titus is playing on the living room floor with his Halo toys.
With him in control, the action figures shoot each other: dying, being resurrected and dying over and over again accompanied by his spectacular sound effects.
It brings me back to when I was a kid. Except for me it was G.I. Joe men, and my father was usually watching the Atlanta Braves on the television. I wasn't much for sports and video games hadn't been invented yet so action figures dominated my childhood.
In daily battles, the forces of good defeated the forces of evil. Every once in a while the bad guys would win. But like it is with video game reset buttons, the action would always eventually start over.
My father had baseball cards. I had action figures. My sons have video games.
I knew — kids know — the difference between playtime and the real thing. There is no reset button in real life. Dead is dead.
So I was more than offended to hear NRA Executive Vice President Wayne LaPierre blame societal violence on video games. Not to mention that a few days later the National Rifle Association released a cellphone shooter app. (I thought I covered hypocrites in last week's column.)
The NRA isn't alone in arguing that a child with mental problems could be affected by violent video games, movies and television shows. But I believe there is no reason to think that a mentally ill person needs such catalysts and wouldn't do what they do without violent entertainment.
In other words: Are we really going to pin the Charles Starkweather homicides on James Dean?
Millions of teenagers flocked to theaters in 1955 to see "Rebel Without a Cause." Many of those boys left the movie with a desire to comb their hair like a greaser, race cars or at the worst smoke cigarettes. While most viewers were entertained or slightly influenced by the movie; a Midwest teenager became obsessed.
Starring a doomed actor — Dean died in a wreck a month prior to the film's release — and climaxing in murder and gun violence, "Rebel" captivated 17-year-old Starkweather who tried to imitate the popular Hollywood idol. Starkweather dressed like Dean, but he lacked his looks, brains and talent.
Within a couple of years, Starkweather and his teenage girlfriend Caril Ann Fugate went on a grisly two-month killing spree beginning in Lincoln, Neb., and ending in the badlands of Wyoming. Their dozen victims included Fugate's parents and 2-year-old sister. Starkweather was executed in 1959; Fugate went to prison until 1976.
No video games needed. And good luck blaming Starkweather's actions on an Academy Award-winning, venerated movie from America's Golden Age.
So why do people kill people? To quote Bruce Springsteen's 1982 song "Nebraska" about the Starkweather homicides, "there's just a meanness in this world."

SuperSport will broadcast two big 1st XV games on Saturday – the Paarl Boys'-Grey Bloem and Glenwood-DHS fixtures.
In Paarl, Boishaai and Grey Bloem meet in what should be an epic encounter.
This fixture was drawn 15-15 in 2011, after the boys from Bloemfontein came from behind to settle for the stalemate. So there will be unfinished business this year. Both schools feature in the top four in the latest Schoolboy Derby Top 15 rankings, making this clash one of the biggest on the calendar.
The match will be broadcast on SS5 at 2pm.
In Durban, there will be a big derby between Glenwood and DHS.
The Green Machine has been inconsistent this season, but DHS have failed to down any of the top schools on the KZN circuit. However, both teams come off wins last weekend, and will be raring to clinch victory.
The game will be broadcast on SS5 at 3:30pm.

"We just sent out our Birth Announcements and we are very happy with them. Tiny Prints was easy to use and we were very pleased with the quality and design of the cards. I would recommend."
"My boyfriend and I chose this card for our sons baby announcement. The quality of product is well worth the money! Made ordering through them easy and making the cards even more easy! Will definitely use them again in the future. Thanks tiny prints!!"
"The card as a whole is beautiful with rich colors printed on thick, high-quality cardstock. However, my pictures came out much darker than they previewed, so some lighting effects in the photos were lost. I'm not sure if they would've looked better on photo paper instead."
"The foil stamp gives it a more polished look. I loved the look of the finished product when I inserted my images. Everyone commented how much they loved receiving the beautiful card in the mail."
"The card design was perfect. Everyone we sent cards to raved about it. The paper quality was great and the price was fantastic."

I've noticed several threads, particularly in the "Faith" section that is nothing but just spam, porn or otherwise.
While I'm not terribly upset by seeing links to porn sites, I think such posts is irrelevant to the intentions of this site, and therefore by their mere presence here lowers the quality of the site (basically, it gives an untidy, disorganized impression).
Should we just hit the report button whenever we find something to our dislike?
And, furthermore, are the accounts of spammers routinely deleted?
Otherwise, thanks for a great site!

Capture groups
One of the most useful features of Groovy is the ability to use regular expressions to "capture" data out of a regular expression. Let's say for example we wanted to extract the location data of Liverpool, England from the following data:
We could use the split() function of string and then go through and strip out the comma between Liverpool and England, and all the special location characters. Or we could do it all in one step with a regular expression. The syntax for doing this is a little bit strange. First, we have to define a regular expression, putting anything we are interested in in parentheses.
Next, we have to define a "matcher" which is done using the =~ operator:
The variable matcher contains a java.util.regex.Matcher as enhanced by groovy. You can access your data just as you would in Java from a Matcher object. A groovier way to get your data is to use the matcher as if it were an array--a two dimensional array, to be exact. A two dimensional array is simply an array of arrays. In this case the first "dimension" of the array corresponds to each match of the regular expression to the string. With this example, the regular expression only matches once, so there is only one element in the first dimension of the two-dimensional array. So consider the following code:
That expression should evaluate to:
And then we use the second dimension of the array to access the capture groups that we're interested in:
Notice that the extra benefit that we get from using regular expressions is that we can see if the data is well-formed. That is if locationData contained the string "Could not find location data for Lima, Peru", the if statement would not execute.
Non-matching Groups
Sometimes it is desirable to group an expression without marking it as a capture group. You can do this by enclosing the expression in parentheses with ?: as the first two characters. For example if we wanted to reformat the names of some people, ignoring middle names if any, we might:
Should output:
That way, we always know that the last name is the second matcher group.
One of the simpler but more useful things you can do with regular expressions is to replace the matching part of a string. You do that using the replaceFirst() and replaceAll() functions on java.util.regex.Matcher (this is the type of object you get when you do something like myMatcher = ("a" += /b/); ).
So let's say we want to replace all occurrences of Harry Potter's name so that we can resell J.K. Rowlings books as Tanya Grotter novels (yes, someone tried this, Google it if you don't believe me).
In this case, we do it in two steps, one for Harry Potter's full name, one for just his first name.
Reluctant Operators
The operators ?, +, and * are by default "greedy". That is, they attempt to match as much of the input as possible. Sometimes this is not what we want. Consider the following list of fifth century popes:
A first attempt at a regular expression to parse out the name (without the sequence number or modifier) and years of each pope might be as follows:
Which splits up as:
(?: .*)?
begin expression
capture some characters
non-capture group: space and some characters
capture a number
capture a number
end expression
We hope that then the first capture group would just be the name of the pope in each example, but as it turns out, it captures too much of the input. For example the first pope breaks up as follows:
(?: .*)?
begin expression
Anastasius I
end expression
Clearly the first capture group is capturing too much of the input. We only want it to capture Anastasius, and the modifiers should be captured by the second capture group. Another way to put this is that the first capture group should capture as little of the input as possible to still allow a match. In this case it would be everything until the next space. Java regular expressions allow us to do this using "reluctant" versions of the *, + and ? operators. In order to make one of these operators reluctant, simply add a ? after it (to make *?, +? and ??). So our new regular expression would be:
So now let's look at our new regular expression with the most difficult of the inputs, the one before Pope Hilarius (a real jokester), breaks up as follows:
(?: .*)?
begin expression
I the Great
end expression
Which is what we want.
So to test this out, we would use the code:
Try this code with the original regular expression as well to see the broken output.
2 Comments
I find the
matcher[0][1]syntax cryptic and I'd rather people not popularize it by using it. Instead,
matcher.group(1)is far more readable.
The closure format is probably even more descriptive:
myMatcher.each { match, firstName, startYear, endYear ->
println("$firstName: $startYear to $endYear");
The only difference is that it will iterate through all matches
