Corsair Voyager Air review -
Installation and Initial Performance tests
Nothing is required other than the fact that you need a working host of some kind. So let's look at WIFI first:
By enabling WIFI with the button located at the front-side of the Voyager AIR the product will basically function as an access-point. So over WIFI it doesn't actually mount into your existing network, it creates one which you need to connect to. Please do realize that once you enable WIFI pretty much anyone or everyone can access the Voyager Air. With the help of the Voyager Air APP you assign password protection though, but the basics are simple .. this is open communication.
My tablet detects and connected to the Voyager Air at this stage. We have good signal, this is in the same room though. And good gosh man, there certainly are a lot of signals here in the lab. Once connected you can use the APP to browse the product. You can also connect to the device with your PC or Laptop, simply point the WIFI adapter towards the Voyager Air and once connected you can access the device through network options and copy files from and to it.
If WIFI is not your thang, with the help of the USB 3.0 cable we can connect towards the device as well:
Simply plug it in and you'll start seeing a new Storage unit called Voyager Air USB as shown above.
Once the USB 3.0 connection has been made you'll notice a new storage unit, in our case the E: Drive. It is already formatted and ready to use.
The Voyager Air also has an Ethernet jack. Simply add it to your network through a switch or directly towards your router. It will get a DHCP lease after which it will show up in your network:
Here we can see that VOYAGERAIR is present. It is a network accessible drive meaning you can map a driver letter to it, make sub directories .. extra HDD functionality really.
What about performance
We can already share with you that performance will differ per connection alright. On the next page we'll look at some of the tests charted in benchmarks. But the most simple thing we can do is copy a compressed MKV file (1080P movie) towards the unit over its threefold of connectivity options.
We copy towards a ram-disk so there is no client / server side lag or bottleneck. Let's look at some examples:
Above the USB 3.0 connection, we copy the file from the Voyager Air (VA from now on) towards the ram-disk. Roughly 113 MB/sec. Reversed we'd notice writes of roughly 50 MB/sec.
If we move to the Ethernet connector then we can read at roughly 51 MB/sec. Not bad, definitely enough for Full HD streaming over multiple streams.
Reversed however we see that over the Gigabit connection copying from a Ram-disk towards the VA resulted in roughly 20 MB/sec, this we feel is a little on the low side. And I'll skip the screenshots, but on WIFI we got roughly 5-6 MB/sec which almost 50 Mbps. But our office is cluttered with WIFI signals, do keep that in mind.

Roenick reportedly set to hang up skates
July 4th, 2007
Philadelphia, PA (Sports Network) - Phoenix Coyotes center Jeremy Roenick, one of the greatest American ice hockey players in the history of the sport, is ready to end his 18-year career, a Philadelphia newspaper reported on Wednesday.
The Philadelphia Inquirer reported that Roenick text messaged in to the paper, "I'm retiring; is that still news?", referring to the long-held speculation that last season, in which he tallied only 11 goals, marked his finale as an NHL player.
The 37-year-old Roenick, a nine-time all-star, totaled 495 career goals, ranking third all-time among American-born players, behind only Mike Modano (507) and Joey Mullen (502). He also had 675 assists, good for 1,170 career points while logging time with the Chicago Blackhawks, Philadelphia Flyers and Los Angeles Kings, and finally with the Coyotes.
Known just as much for his outgoing and often over-the-top personality as he was for his ability, Roenick was also a two-time Olympian for the U.S.
Despite all of his on-ice accomplishments, Roenick retires without reaching the pinnacle of the sport. He reached the Stanley Cup Finals only once, in 1992, when his Blackhawks were swept out by the Pittsburgh Penguins.

Re: NHL News and Notes
Islanders sign free-agent Guerin
July 5th, 2007
Uniondale, NY (Sports Network) - The New York Islanders made a big move to re-shape their roster, signing unrestricted free-agent forward Bill Guerin to a two-year contract on Thursday.
"My family and I are so happy to be coming to Long Island," Guerin said. "Garth Snow (Islanders general manager) contacted me on Sunday and was so positive, so persistent right from the outset, explaining to me why I would be ideal for his team. Ownership's commitment to winning at almost every cost and Garth making it clear to how determined he is to build a winner is why I'm an Islander today."
Guerin, 36, split last season between St. Louis and San Jose, scoring 36 goals and 56 points in 77 regular season games. He struggled in the playoffs, recording just a pair of assists in nine games.
The 6-foot-2, 210-pounder has tallied 364 goals, 719 points and 1,439 penalty minutes in 1,026 NHL games over 15 seasons with the Devils, Oilers, Bruins, Stars, Blues and Sharks.
The native of Wilbraham, Massachusetts is a four-time NHL All-Star (2001, 2003-04, 2007) and represented the United States in three Winter Olympic Games. He was the fifth overall pick of the New Jersey Devils in 1989, and played college hockey for two years at Boston College.
New York was dealt several blows at the start of free-agency on Sunday, learning that free-agent forward Ryan Smyth would not pursue a new contract with the Islanders, while also losing forwards Viktor Kozlov to Washington and 40-goal scorer Jason Blake to Toronto. The club also rid themselves of disappointing forward Alexei Yashin earlier in the off-season.
While the team was able to bring in journeyman forward Jon Sim on a three-year deal Sunday, Guerin represents their first bona-fide free agent addition.

1 person favorited this theater
This was a fairly plain theater, a block away and across the street from the Paramount Theatre, but much more modern. Opened in 1925. It was very run-down, even when I was a kid in the 1960's.

Florida's Turnpike Safety Enhanced with New Stronger Vehicular Traffic Barriers Secured by Concrete Pile Driven by an Orlando Pile Driving Contractor
The Florida Turnpike is installing the latest High Tension Cable Barriers System along the roadway to protect the public. Cloud 9 Services, Inc. an Orlando Pile Driving Contractor was selected to participate in installing new vehicular traffic barriers along Florida's Turnpike to increase traffic safety.
Orlando, FL (PRWEB) August 20, 2012
Florida´s Department of Transportation and the Florida turnpike authority are enhancing the safety of the Florida's Turnpike. The pilot project addition of the High Tension Cable Barrier System resulted in no penetrations through the cables and no fatalities due to crossovers. Fender Marine Construction a division of Cloud 9 Services, Inc. is a pile driving contractor and was selected to install the 24 inch by 24 inch concrete piling that anchor the High Tension Cable Barrier System being added along Florida´s Turnpike. The work is taking place on both the northbound and southbound sides of Florida's Turnpike between mile marker 234 and the Yeehaw Junction exit. The installation of the piling is critical to the strength of the guard rail assembly. The concrete piles are driven flush with the ground some being embedded 25 feet and some pile as little as 15 feet into the ground. Vehicles that veer off of the highway in these areas will be protected from entering wetlands and forests along Florida's Turnpike. The work of driving the pile requires special equipment including a crane, diesel pile driving hammer, leads and a heavy steel template.
The safety of the workers on this project is critical. Therefore, we provide the required maintenance of traffic equipment during our work hours. Cloud 9 Services, Inc.´s employees have the highest certification of maintenance of traffic control. Any time workers are on a highway project we request that drivers operate their vehicle within the legal speed limits and otherwise be as safe as possible. During a five-day period of our work on the project five major accidents occurred within 5 miles of our worksite.
These accidents along the Florida Turnpike are not unusual. Florida's traffic statistics along the Turnpike show that more people would die in Palm Beach and Broward County in accidents this year than last year. Further, as of the end of July at least 85 people have died in traffic accidents in Palm Beach County alone. That's an increase of at least eight deaths over the same time last year. Broward County´s death toll is higher at 106 and that's compared to 87 from last year. The Florida Highway Patrol has said that this number may continue to grow. One possible cause for this increase in traffic accidents could be associated with distracted driving such as talking on the telephone, sending text messages, eating food and grooming. Right now it's not illegal to text or use a cell phone by driving and you can't get a ticket for being distracted by while driving. Some state legislators are pushing laws to make it illegal to text and/or operate a cell phone while driving.
Cloud 9 Services, Inc. was founded in 2001 in Orlando Florida. The dba of Fender Marine Construction was begun in 2009 and works primarily driving pile for marine construction projects. Fender Marine Construction is a Florida State Certified Marine Contractor and on the Board of Directors of the prestigious Florida Marine Contractor's Association. Lucy fender the President of Cloud 9 Services, Inc. joined the company in 2004. Rick fender the vice president of Cloud 9 Services, Inc. is project managing this pile driving operation and looks forward to a successful completion. Our definition of successful completion means that all pile are installed on schedule properly and without any accidents. Cloud 9 Services, Inc. dba Fender Marine Construction 1201 West Jackson Street, Orlando, FL 32805 407-481-2750

IMG Add Moratorium Option, Increasing Likelihood of Pre-existing Conditions Cover for Globalsurance Clients
Globalsurance clients paired with IMG will have an increased chance of receiving coverage for pre-existing conditions with the added option of moratorium underwriting.
Hong Kong (PRWEB) July 12, 2013
IMG are set to add the option for moratorium underwriting on their GlobalFusion plan instead of only providing full medical underwriting with exclusions. Globalsurance analysts believe that the faster processing time and the higher chance of coverage for pre-existing conditions should be greatly attractive for retirees, one of the plan's main target markets.
Moratorium and full medical underwriting (FMU) are the two ways that insurers handle a client's pre-existing conditions (pre-ex). With moratorium underwriting, the client is given a period of time, usually 24 months, to be on the plan before any pre-ex are covered. During this period, if the client has no symptoms, special diet, treatment, or advice sought for their condition, only then will the insurer consider providing coverage. If any of these actions were taken during the period, then another 24 month period is required before coverage will be considered.
With full medical underwriting, any pre-existing conditions clients have will not be covered. The client must also complete a full questionnaire on their medical history. The number of questions usually is around 30, in comparison to the moratorium questionnaire, which usually only has 3-5 questions. Traditionally, insurers may cover pre-ex with an additional premium known as loading. IMG's FMU plans however, do not feature such an option.
Moratorium underwriting will likely not cover high risk conditions that require continuous treatment such as blood conditions or cancer. For some blood conditions, the loading costs can be up to 100%. However, injuries and smaller risk conditions will still be covered in the premiums without additional loading.
Moratorium underwriting has already been adopted by insurers such as Globality Health, ALC, and A Plus; it is quickly becoming one of the more prevalent options. As both the policies and levels of coverage continue to improve, Globalsurance analysts are eager to see how it will change the market in the future.

Great burger, they now also serve adult beverages. It was nice to be able to get a GF bun and the woman who took my order was very knowledgeable about GF and CC. Also, she didn't give me the stink eye when I asked about their food handling procedures. Know what I mean? Cool place on Grand Avenue to enjoy the food and the parade of people on the street.
Great stop for kiddos. Love the apples and pears and dulce de leche.
Amazing! High quality, gourmet, handcrafted burgers. As fresh as you can get them! With great gluten free buns and a choice of grass or grain fed beef or bison. We will be eating here again
During my visit the staff knew what grinds are gf and which ones are not. Fries are gf BUT are not fried in a dedicated gf fryer. Great food!
I was excited to eat some good gf food. Lady behind the counter told me every side I wanted had gluten despite the menu saying it didn't. Anything I asked about was either "no, it's not gf" or "I don't know, maybe?" Then because of the staffs incompetence, a small line built behind us. so they asked my wife and I too step aside so others could order. I left and went next door to Bluebird cafe.
They have moved to a cool location! Fun atmosphere. Gluten free buns! Yumm
Great burger!! I had The Richie gluten free and my husband had the BBQ pork and we couldn't be happier. An awesome meal!
Great hamburger and the GF bun made it even better!
I got a great fresh hamburger on a gluten free bun, what could be better? The menu tells you where the meat comes from. All local Colorado beef and buffalo meat. Good prices, fun atmosphere. We will be back!
excellent burgers, fried & shakes! GF buns were good too. Great family spot!

Great track, I'm a little confused though to the 30sec and 60sec 'loops'
They aren't really loops are they? they have an intro and an outro so how do I loop them continuously?
No sorry they are not loops just shorter versions for people that need those type of lengths. To loop them you would need some kind of software that you can make loops from non intro or ending points.
Hi can you get this on iTunes? Or how do I save it as a song? love it so much!!
Well thank you! Unfortunately this track is specifically meant for royalty free background music purposes and has to be licensed right here on Audiojungle since it is sold exclusively on here. You are welcome to send me a message at email@example.com for more info.

Every little thing's gonna be alright. That's the simple message Macklin Lacerda, lead vocalist/guitarist and founder of Open Secret, had asked the audience to send out to anyone going through a low point in life. Job done, hundreds of glowing phone screens flashed in the air. In that instant, cellphones turn into shining beacons of hope as the band launch into their cover of the song by the same name. I heard them a year ago, but hearing the song again this year at St Andrew's Auditorium, Bandra, on March 4, where they kicked off Season Two of 'The Journey Home', their 6-week 14-concert city-wide tour, still gave me goosebumps.
Based on and inspired by the 14 Stations in the Way of the Cross (a step-by-step look at Christ's path to His crucifixion), The Journey Home is a concert to bring new meaning to the season of Lent. "The more we journey on in life, the more the danger of losing our way. The Journey Home is not just about Christ's torturous journey back to His Heavenly Father, it is also about each of us making our own parallel, personal journey back to our Maker. In many ways, it's about rediscovering who we really are," says Macklin. The concerts will remain largely the same as they were last year, with a few new additions. But Macklin intends to keep it that way, at least for a couple more years, as he recalls the words of Fr Allwyn Nazareth, an admirer of the band, "People's experiences and life situations keep changing. The same song could mean two completely different things from one year to the next."
The impact this concert experience has on Christians is deep. But people from other faiths have also been moved by the music and the message. It's the universal truths of faith, hope, love, forgiveness and redemption that have struck a chord beyond their originally intended audience and fan base. As Vinit Koppikar puts it, "Everyone feels let down, isolated and in need of a friend at some point in their life. When Open Secret plays 'Every little thing's gonna be alright', it gives you hope, a feeling of positivity."
So what's really unique about the band? For starters, an evening with Open Secret is not a performance, but an 'experience' to live through and take home. The Journey Home is what Macklin calls a concept concert. Aggi Fernandes, keyboardist and member since inception, elaborates, "Instead of songs merely following one another, these concerts are conceptualised to see a larger story and theme that is then bound together by music. Currently, we have The Journey Home during Lent, O Come All Ye Faithful for Christmas and the upcoming Miracle Maker (inspired by Christ's miracles) for the rest of the year."
It's not just the music (although having a band comprising professionals from the music industry does help), but Macklin's sometimes practical, sometimes spiritual, sometimes philosophical thoughts and insights as he prefaces each song, along with the recently introduced visual content, that helps drive the message home. "This is the first time I have heard Open Secret, and I didn't expect a gospel band to be so amazing. Their music touches your heart and stirs something within you. It's something very unique," says Sacha Lobo, a TYBA student from Sophia College, after the concert on March 4. "I don't know what happens, it's like you're in a trance," says Anant Acharya, who heard them for the first time last year.
They say seeing is believing. In the case of Mumbai's Open Secret, that may well be true. In more ways than one.

Coming into 2010, Aaron Murray and the quarterbacking situation was the biggest question mark on the team. Needless to say, Murray made it known that he is one of the best quarterbacks in the nation on his way to setting several Georgia freshman passing records. those records are just the beginning, as Murray is setting himself up to be one of the greatest Georgia quarterbacks of all time.
He is not alone though, as the Bulldogs now have a good bit of depth at the position heading into the fall. In this article we will be taking a closer look at the top three guys and some predictions for them as well.
1. Aaron Murray
Murray set the world on fire last year as a redshirt freshman, and has set the stage for a season that many people think will make him a darkhorse candidate for the Heisman. May be a bit of a stretch, but saying that Murray is the best quarterback in the conference isn't.
Last season, Murray completed 209 of 342 passes (61.1%) for 3,049 yards and 24 touchdowns. He also only threw eight interceptions and rushed for 167 yards and four touchdowns.
Murray has better arm strength than his size (6'1", 209 pounds) may lead some to believe. He can make any throw asked of him, and is also extremely accurate. He was sixth in the conference last year in passing efficiency in a pretty strong year at the position. He's also very mobile in the pocket and is a strong, and nerve-racking, runner once he escapes the pocket and can make plays that way as well.
As for what to expect from Murray this year, I expect him to take a greater stand in his leadership role, which he has already done, and produce at a heavier rate. He has the potential to break just about every single season record this year for the Bulldogs.
Though, knowing Murray, wins are way more important than the stats that he could put up.
2. Hutson Mason
Mason came to Georgia after breaking basically every Georgia passing record during his senior year at Lassiter High School. He was a 3-star quarterback that loved Georgia growing up and was ecstatic when the Bulldogs offered him a scholarship.
I think that Mason is a better quarterback than what many people were expecting. He threw 17 passes in some mop-up duty last season, completing nine of them for 102 yards and a touchdown.
He comes into the season as the backup and one that I am pretty comfortable with. He has a bit of a gunslinger mentality in him, and he's a guy that wouldn't be scared to face off against any defense in the conference.
Mason is going to get some playing time again this season, but hopefully Murray stays healthy and its just in mop-up duty. There are a couple of games where the Bulldogs should be blowing out the opposition and we will get to see some more of the young man. He's a great guy and loves Georgia, and I hope that he will stick around with the team and doesn't transfer after the season.
3.Christian LeMay
LeMay comes into his freshman season having not played a down of football since his junior season in high school. After getting suspended his senior season after some off the field transgressions (not anything too serious that would make people think he has character flaws) LeMay started working with a quarterback coach. He'd been working on his footwork and different things with the coach, and also impressed Mark Richt and company this spring.
LeMay was still a 4-star quarterback, and one that many people thought would have been the top quarterback in the class had he played his senior season.
LeMay has all the tools to be a great college quarterback, but I'm hoping that he redshirts this season so we get an extra year with him. He's in the D.J. Shockley-mold where he has very good athleticism and is a natural leader. He could do great things at Georgia, just hoping we get an extra year with him if he redshirts.
An article on the running back depth chart should be up sometime next weekend.

In a stinging attack on BJP and its Prime Ministerial candidate Narendra Modi, Rahul Gandhi today charged the principal opposition with ignoring corruption in states ruled by it and blocking passage of six anti-graft bills by Parliament.
Puncturing BJP's anti-corruption campaign against the UPA government, Gandhi said, "their leader (Modi) is travelling across India and talking about eradicating corruption." "But does he (Modi) see their leaders in Karnataka indulging in corruption. He doesn't see that their party's then CM (B S Yeddyurappa) was jailed on corruption charges. He doesn't even see 16 of their ministers (in Karnataka) had to resign (on graft issue)," he said at 'Bharat Nirman" rally here.
Gandhi said, "he (Modi) does not see corruption in Chhattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh and Karnataka." "In Karnataka, you people removed BJP from power due to corruption. Thereafter, the then CM has again come back to BJP, but their leaders ignore this," he said, referring to Yeddyurappa's readmission into BJP after merger of his Karnataka Janata Paksha with it recently.
Gandhi said BJP leaders see corruption in only Congress-ruled states, adding,"they don't see it anywhere else."
"Even if corruption takes place in Gujarat, they ignore it," he said, in a dig at Modi. "Wherever they do not have their governments,they see corruption taking place." Gandhi also attacked BJP for "blocking" passage of six anti-graft bills, which form part of government's anti-corruption framework and for whose passage he is pushing aggressively. "Who is standing against those bills? We want to pass them. We are being stopped in Parliament. Who is stopping it? BJP is stopping it. They don't allow functioning of Parliament," Gandhi said.
"Today in Parliament six anti-graft bills are pending.
The bills which are of help to you. The bills that give power to you," the Congress Vice-President said.
Pushing for creating a framework to fight graft, Gandhi had recently appealed to Opposition parties to support the passage of six bills in the ongoing Parliament session, whose functioning has been stalled over Telangana and other issues.
The draft of six legislations Gandhi has been laying thrust are the Judicial Standards and Accountability Bill, 2010, the Whistle Blowers Protection Bill, 2011, the Right of Citizens for Time Bound Delivery of Goods and Services and Redressal of their Grievances Bill, 2011, the Prevention of Bribery of Foreign Public Officials and Officials of Public International Organisations Bill, 2011, the Prevention of Corruption (Amendment) Bill, 2013 and the Public Procurement Bill, 2012.
In his speech that centred around BJP and corruption, he also said the previous government was "not Karnataka government, but Bellary government."
Gandhi was apparently referring to the Reddy brothers (Janardhana and Karunakara), the mining barons from mine-rich Bellary district who were then accused of maintaining vice-like grip over the BJP government.
"The whole state was handed over to the hands of Bellary (mining barons) and women and youth were ignored. They (BJP) ran the government not in the interest of women and youth of the state but to loot it. This is the way they ran the government and today they travel across the country and say that they are against corruption."
Gandhi also hit out at BJP for its talk about IT.
He said IT succeeded in Karnataka because "we utilised everyone's potential. We helped poor, businesses and together we did miracle in IT sector in Karnataka." "Now BJP talks about taking India to the level of making it IT superpower, but it was the Congress, poor people and youth of Karnataka who did it. This did not happen in one day, but it took sixty years."
Those BJP leaders who were against introducing computers in India, were now talking about doing a miracle in India. "They forget that IT was developed by the people, Congress, S M Krishna (former Chief Minister) and Rajiv Gandhi."

NDA convener and Janata Dal (United) chief Sharad Yadav said on Tuesday that they would definitely give a push "if the UPA government is falling anyway."
Mr. Yadav's statement comes in the wake of Trinamool Congress chief Mamata Banerjee's statement that her party could consider moving a no-confidence motion against the government in the winter session of Parliament that is likely to be held in November third week.
Ever since the Trinamool withdrew support to the UPA government, the NDA leaders in general and the BJP brass in particular have repeatedly been emphasising that they would do nothing to destabilise the government on their own. The BJP's position is based on the assessment that as things stand, the UPA has numbers on its side and a no-confidence motion would serve no purpose. It believes such a move would be counter-productive as the government could project defeat of a no-confidence motion as vindication of all its recent decisions. In addition, there is no consensus among the constituents of the NDA and within the BJP on the merits of an early election.
"The NDA will not bring a no-confidence motion but if anybody else brings it, we will weigh the option and decide. We are not focussed on ousting the government but if it is falling anyway, we will definitely give it a push," Mr. Yadav maintained.
Mr. Yadav shared the dais with Ms. Banerjee on Monday at the Trinamool's Jantar Mantar rally in protest against the decision to allow foreign investors in the multi-brand retail as well as the hike in diesel price.
On the possibility of emergence of a new front in the national politics, the JD(U) chief said: "My personal assessment is that there can be no such alliance now. Third front or fourth front was possible when the Janata Dal was a national party having presence in Bihar, U.P., Orissa, Karnataka and some other States. The wheel moves only when there is an axis. That axis is not there for the formation of a new front."
"There are three alliances right now — the UPA, the NDA and the Left. While Congress is the axis of the UPA, the BJP is the axis of the NDA. In the Left Front, the CPI(M) is the axis. That's it," he said.
Keywords: NDA, UPA, FDI in retail, no-confidence motion, Trinamool pull out

Memorable Magnet
We had used Magnetstreet for our wedding Save the Date magnets and invitations. When it came time for our baby's baptism, we were thrilled to see a beautiful 5x7 magnet invitation was available. The design and personalization was so easy and Andrea was very helpful and accommodating with any questions and suggestions I had. Overall, we couldn't be more pleased with the magnet invitation and our friends and family expressed how beautiful and what a great idea the magnet is! Thank you again Magnetstreet!
Great work as usual.
Recently ordered magnet birth announcements and they were amazing. Second time using this company, first was for save the date magnets. I love magnet idea and these magnets stick to refrigerators, file cabinets, anything. Three years after my wedding I still have save the dates in fridge, and so do others at their homes. I got lots of compliments in those magnets and can't wait to send out birth announcements. This will be my go to website for future cards. Quick delivery and perfect packaging. Also love editing options, THE BEST. You can choose from hundreds of color options for any design.
Quick, Easy and Stylish
I used Magnetstreet for my wedding save the dates and invitations and they did a great job. Again, I trusted them with my Christmas cards and they turned out great. I think this design looks even better in person and picture was very clear. I changed the color of the block behind "JOY" to dark green to be more holiday looking, and then changed the text to a cream color. I also changed the typeface to something more traditional looking and our names to a green to match the front. I also added a bible verse about joy to the top inside panel. The cardstock is very sturdy too. The only thing that I was a bit disappointed in was the size of the print. It came out a lot smaller than I thought and did not fill as much of the space on the card as I wanted. I used size 9 font, and would recommend maybe a size 10. It's still readable and very pretty. The order shipped very quickly and within a week my cards were made, delivered and I've mailed them out. Thanks!
Just what I had envisioned.
Couldn't have designed it and look any better!! Very pleased with the finished product!

'A nation that forgets its history loses its identity and a nation that forgets its hero's renounces its honor'-- Archbishop Philip Hannan, New Orleans, WWII veteran
At 4:30 a.m. the Louis Armstrong Airport in New Orleans was lumbering to start a new day. But at the entrance to the east concourse people were already scurrying around in a flurry of activity. A welcome table was positioned just beneath a large banner hanging from the top rafters. Hats and nametags were neatly placed in a single line for quick distribution to the honored guest. Louisiana Honor Air was about to welcome more than 90 WWII veterans traveling to Washington, D.C. They were going to visit their monument dedicated to their service in WWII.
Among the first to arrive was Ronald Plaisance from 'down the bayou.' He is the only living Pearl Harbor survivor from Lafourche Parish.
Other veterans arrived in various groups; many came by themselves escorted by family members. The veterans walked slowly, many carried canes to aide their balance, and some were in wheelchairs. One veteran remarked, 'Many of us can't afford to go a trip. This is good for us.'
The veterans were welcomed at the check-in station by Sallie Varrelman of Louisiana Honor Air.
'This is payback time,' she said. 'I saw them as there were as GI's and I don't see them as they are now, I see them as there were.'
Rear Admiral Mary Landry of the US Coast Guards hugged a veteran who came up to her. She pointed to him and to the camera and proudly exclaimed, 'He is Coast Guard.'
The WWII veterans brought with them pictures of their service and with the pictures they remembered the details of one of the most dramatic times in their lives.
Vernon Kinchen, from Marrero, La., brought a picture of the destroyer escort he was on. He told the story of his experience on the invasion of the Philippines. ' I was the gun captain on the number two gun. It was at night and we got in so close to the Japanese battleships with their 17-inch guns; they were shooting over us; they couldn't lower their guns down to hit us. We got in and sunk everything they had.'
Another veteran started talking about the enemy's suicide attacks in that battle. Amazingly, these WWII veterans remembered, in detail, their experience and openly shared their memories with others on the trip.
As the veterans boarded the plane to Washington, they walked past a military honor guard. WWII veteran John Delucca from Metairie was trying his best to make one of the honor guard smile. 'I was always a cut-up,' he said.
On the flight, T.D. Smith from Louisiana Honor Air, read a poignant passage from Stephen Ambrose's acclaimed book, 'A Band Of Brothers' and emphasized why it is important that WWII veterans have a chance to see their memorial. On the flight, it is noted that one of the veterans, 87, married his 84-year-old sweetheart and is spending his honeymoon with his 'Band of Brothers.'
Landing at Reagan International Airport, the welcome began. An impressive spray of water streamed out of two fire engines salutes the veterans. The waters arced over the aircraft in their honor. Baggage carts were wrapped in American flags, welcome signs honoring the vets were displayed near the concourse. Exiting the aircraft, the Louisiana veterans were greeted by the loud, syncopated rhythm of a big band sound. The musical notes seemed to resonate throughout the concourse. Only the cheers and applause of those who filled the terminal welcoming the veterans to Washington overpowered the impressive greeting. Smiles were the order of the day. John Delucca from Metairie danced off the plane into what he called 'a New Orleans jive.' 'This is the biggest surprise of my life', he said.
But at the Iwo Jima Memorial, honoring the Marine Corps raising the American Flag on Mt. Suribachi, the ever-joking and ever-dancing Louisianan John Delucca stared at the memorial in quiet reverence. He put his hand on his chin and cried. Quickly reclaiming his composure, he said, 'I was there.'
It is said that history doesn't linger long, but with these veterans memories last forever. It was a cool day here in Washington, and there were many tourist and locals taking the opportunity to visit the Washington monuments.
Among the veterans from Louisiana are other large groups veterans from other states along with high school and college students. John Delucca remarked, 'You see these fine young people here....it reminds us of when we were that age and how we all came together in defense of our country. It was remarkable when you think about it at that time. Usually, I'm not at a loss for words, but this is overwhelming.'
Another veteran remarked, 'It's very, very touching for a former Marine to look up there and realize what happened that day...if it doesn't touch you, you're not human.'
There was a slight drizzle of rain at Arlington Cemetery. One Louisiana veteran stared over the rows of neatly aligned white tombstones. His eyes began to fill with tears. 'You still get a feeling from it even when you're an old man barely moving around,' he said.
In his early 20s, Sgt. Benton Thames from Denham Springs, La. is an honor guard at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. He has guarded the Tomb of the 'Unknowns' for nearly three years.
Benton escorted a group of Louisiana veterans to a room near the base of monument. This group of Louisiana veterans participated in the ceremony honoring the 'Unknowns.' Benton explained the history of the honor guard and the protocol for laying a wreath at the tomb. 'The amount that those unknowns sacrificed, by giving up not only their lives, but their identities is the ultimate sacrifice and to be able to honor them is simply amazing.'
One veteran posed the question about the extraordinary sharpness of the honor guards' uniforms. Benton replied, 'We do it all ourselves.'
Later, in a ceremony benefiting the emotion of the event four Louisiana veterans -- three veterans walking, one in a wheel chair -- followed the Honor Guard to the front of the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. With their colleagues looking on, they placed their wreath at the Tomb. In the distance there was simple sound of a bugle echoing 'Taps' -- a sound that seemed to create a reverence of place....to this place. It was an emotional and moving event for all.
The sprawling WWII Memorial was the next stop. College students from Washington, D.C. were there to welcome the Louisiana veterans. Navy veteran Alice Millet from Metairie said, 'It's been a beautiful day. I never thought I'd see something that would honor the women veterans of the United States. We did our part.'
Hebert Stone from New Orleans was in the Battle of the Bulge. It was his mission today to find that campaign etched in the granite of the monument. 'At the Battle of the Bulge my division lost over 50 percent. To be here now is like a miracle.'
It was amazing to listen to the level of detail these veterans recalled about their experiences more than 60 years ago. 'I was in the engineers,' Hebert Stone went on to say. 'We had to clear land mines. On November 16, 1944, I remember to this day, my lieutenant said, 'I want you to take two peeps (vehicles slightly smaller than a jeep) and go up the road to find out where the front is.' I thought to myself that was a hell of a mission. Unbeknownst to me the Battle of the Bulge had begun and I wasn't notified.'
There were other stories, other memories shared with friends and escorts. But I could not wonder if these Veterans, who were so willing to share their experiences with strangers, were even asked about that dramatic time in their youth by their families back home in Louisiana.
After visiting the Franklin D. Roosevelt Memorial, the Korean and Vietnam Memorial, it was time to board the plane back to New Orleans. It had been a long day - a pleasant day for everyone. But the day was not over. Upon arrival in New Orleans a cheering crowd and military band greeted the veterans. Their family members greeted them as if they had just returned from their service in World War II. With tears in his eyes one veteran said, 'It's been a beautiful day.' It means a whole lot to do something from your heart.'
I asked another veteran what was her favorite memory of today, she said, 'Everything.'
Louisiana Honor Air had accomplished their mission today.
The Vietnam Memorial
On a personal note, in 1982, I accompanied three Vietnam veterans from Louisiana to the dedication of their memorial - the Vietnam Memorial. In the crowd near the memorial there was an elderly gentleman walking by himself shaking the hand of every Vietnam veteran he passed. It was retired Army Gen. Westmoreland the commander of the troops for the majority of the conflict in Vietnam. Glenn Taylor, Ron Gardner and Bill Ryan were among the Louisiana Vietnam veterans Gen. Westmoreland thanked for their service. Almost 30 years later the remarks of these three Vietnam veterans about the 'Wall' still lingers in memory.
Ron Gardner said, 'I think about the pain on that wall, the screams. I think about the love that everyone exhibited toward each other, that I hadn't seen before going to Vietnam and I hadn't seen since.'
Glenn Taylor said, 'The story I think is in the faces of the people that you see here. There not here by accident. The kids that you see slowly walking by their dads are up there that they never saw. There's a little bit out of all of us on that wall. You see the numbers 59,000, something like that. But when you see it, up there, there's a lot of people you wonder what society could have done with these guys.'
Bill Ryan said, 'It created a little confusion but I think that's what the Vietnam War was all about. Trying to locate the names of the people that you know died, and the initial confusion of it brought back memories of everyday survival in Vietnam. But I think the monument will grow and it will create a focal point of contemplation of what went on in the Vietnam War.'
One year later in 1983, I would find myself on the battlefield in Beirut, Lebanon. A suicide bomber destroyed the Marine Corps barracks. The massive explosion killed 241 soldiers and sailors.
It was December and Christmas was just a few days away. A condition-1 alert had been initiated on the Marine base. There were incoming mortars rounds in the distance and the front gate would be locked shortly. The Marine base was the target. We had to leave quickly.
But as I left the Marine base, I noticed a small memorial in front of the former Marine barracks. Despite the imminent danger, I couldn't help but stop, notice and film the small bouquet of light blue flowers ringed around a Marine-issued camouflage hat. Above the flowers is a small, white sign facing east, toward the city of Beirut. The small sign simply described the Marines' mission in Beirut: To the '24th MAU, They came in peace.'
Unfortunately, history does not linger long. The Beirut veterans of America petitioned the Postal Committee for a simple but symbolic gesture to memorialize their mission in Beirut a stamp to be issued by the U.S. Postal Service. The stamp was initially denied, however, after a hearing to reconsider a meeting for further review is scheduled in 2010.
The words of New Orleans Archbishop Hannan, A WWII Veteran, expressing why a nation must remember those who served should be emphasized:
'A nation that forgets its history loses its identity and a nation that forgets its hero's renounces its honor.'
Tonight at 10 p.m. on Channel 4, see the companion story to this Veterans' Day tribute. Bill Capo and photographer Brian Lukas show you the tears, the smiles, and the solemn remembrances that these veterans experienced on their trip to Washington.

Oil, Gas, And Other Natural Resources
Accounting for oil and gas activities can be extremely complex because it encompasses a wide variety of business strategies and vehicles. The industry's diversity developed in response to the risk involved in the exploration process, the volatility of prices, and the fluctuations in supply and demand for oil and gas. In addition to having a working knowledge of accounting procedures, the oil and gas accountant should be familiar with the operating characteristics of companies involved in oil and gas activities and understand the impact of individual transactions.
Oil and gas activities cover a wide spectrum-ranging from exploration and production activities to the refining, transportation, and marketing of products to consumers. Special accounting rules exist for exploration and production activities. Accounting for refining activities is similar in many ways to other process manufacturing businesses. Likewise, transportation and marketing do not differ significantly from one end product to another. This chapter focuses on the special accounting rules for petroleum exploration and production.
The same may be said for the mining and processing of minerals except that the accounting rules for mineral exploration and production are not so formalized as for petroleum.

My 5yo keeps asking more and more detailed questions about how babies are made... and I'm running out of answers to give her. I don't give her "fluff" stories. I tell her the truth, but so far we haven't had to go far. I tell her that Daddy put a baby in my belly, and the doctor took it out. That kind of stuff. Very brief, to the point factual information. But she's starting to want to know how and why. She actually just asked me "Why did you decide to have two babies?"
So... how much do your October babies know? Do they know "egg/ova" and "sperm"? or no?

Codex Born (Magic Ex Libris #2)by Jim C. Hines
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Five hundred years ago, Johannes Gutenberg discovered the art of libriomancy, allowing him to reach into books to create things from their pages. Gutenberg's power brought him many enemies, and some of those enemies have waited centuries for revenge. Revenge which begins with the brutal slaughter of a wendigo in the northern Michigan town of Tamarack, a long-established werewolf territory.
Libriomancer Isaac Vainio is part of Die Zwelf Portenære, better known as the Porters, the organization founded by Gutenberg to protect the world from magical threats. Isaac is called in to investigate the killing, along with Porter psychiatrist Nidhi Shah and their dryad bodyguard and lover, Lena Greenwood. Born decades ago from the pages of a pulp fantasy novel, Lena was created to be the ultimate fantasy woman, strong and deadly, but shaped by the needs and desires of her companions. Her powers are unique, and Gutenberg's enemies hope to use those powers for themselves. But their plan could unleash a far darker evil...
"Nonstop action and laughter power Hines's riveting second journey into the 'peculiar life' of Isaac Vainio (after Libriomancer). Isaac has become a Porter, a member of an elite group that polices the magic of libriomancy. Assigned to mentor teenager Jeneta Aboderin, a budding libriomancer with a knack for working magic with e-books, Isaac continues his research into the ways that people can manifest items from the shared belief in books, testing his strengths and limits. Along with his lover, the dryad Lena, and her other partner, therapist Nidhi Shah, Isaac also begins investigating a series of vicious murders that may be related to magic contained in ancient Chinese texts, and he soon realizes that the people he trusts the most might be his enemies. Like a good pinball game, Isaac's adventures are frantic, fascinating, and more than a little noisy. Hines supplies everything a reader needs — werewolves, ghosts, robot insects, a fire spider that eats candy, and homages to classic SF — for a very good time. Readers are advised to begin with book one; the technical details of libriomancy are a bit dense for newcomers. Agent: Joshua Bilmes, JABberwocky Literary Agency."

LINCOLN — A five-run first inning was followed by two in the second, two in the third, three in the fourth and three in the fifth as Cole Camp opened district play with a 15-5 win over Lincoln on Monday.
The Bluebirds jumped out to a 7-0 lead before Lincoln broke through with three runs in the top of the third but could not stop the Bluebirds from scoring.
"(We were) just making contact and putting the ball in play," said Cole Camp's Zachary Craig.
It was Craig that capped off the rally in the first inning, getting all of a fastball and sending it over the left-centerfield fence for his first home run of the season, a two-run shot.
"I was just looking to drive it and get on base," he said.
Cole Camp opened the inning with back-to-back singles from Zachary Fox and Holt Wroten. A wild pitch and an error scored the first two runs. Tyler Ward followed with a bloop single to score Koby Knievel.
"We were focusing this week on putting balls in play," said Cole Camp coach Todd Rusk. "Their starter threw good fastballs and we were able to hit them. We focused on contact, contact, contact. I'm awful proud of them."
Cole Camp added to the lead in the second when a single from Connor Balke scored Fox and a single from Knievel scored Reece Henning.
Balke pitched for Cole Camp and came away with a complete game win, striking out five and issuing two walks. He allowed a two-out bloop single to Corbin Mertgen in the first, but picked him off. He then worked a one-two-three second.
"He's a senior back from a district championship team last year," Rusk said. "Connor knows how to pitch in a big-game situation. He's been there. He's been there a couple of times. He had a couple of shaky innings, but we'll take that."
Lincoln broke through in the third. A groundout scored Sam Hinrich. Brannigan Roark scored from third on a wild pitch and Connor Spunaugle caught Cole Camp napping with a steal of home.
Spunaugle went 2 for 3 in the game. His single to lead off the fifth was followed by a Mason Sanders ground-rule double. Sanders scored when Devyn Strathman singled.
"We scored a few runs, we just couldn't score enough of them," said Lincoln coach Will Lynde. "Errors really hurt us and a few mental mistakes kind of sealed the deal."
After Strathman started the game and struggled, Mergen came on in relief for Lincoln, getting out of the second inning before Cole Camp got to him in the third.
"He's got good velocity," Lynde said. "He can throw it right past a lot of kids. He threw on Friday so he's looking at two days rest and his velocity probably wasn't there."
Lincoln finishes its season 6-14.
Cole Camp (9-12) will face Skyline in the district championship game at 5 p.m. Wednesday.
