Kate McReary
this wiki
- "I gave up on my brothers a long time ago. Every day I expect to get a call from the coroner about one of them."
- ―Kate McReary about her family.
Kate McReary (1980 - 2008, optional death) is a 28-year old potential love interest of Grand Theft Auto IV protagonist Niko Bellic. She is the sister of Patrick, Francis, Gerald and Derrick McReary, the only daughter and the youngest child of Maureen and an unnamed father. She works at the community center in Dukes. At first, Packie tells Niko to stay away from her, but later encourages Niko to go out with Kate. She holds traditional values, and according to Patrick, "she won't put out". Despite this, the player is still given the option to try and join Kate inside.
According to Patrick, Kate witnessed several bloody fights between her brothers; seeing Gerry beating Francis was a traumatic childhood experience for her (she was in therapy for quite a while). Over time she has apparently become accustomed to living close to violent crime, liking Niko despite disapproving of his lifestyle. In extreme contrast to all his sons, Mr. McReary had an excellent relationship with Kate and was pretty much never angry at her. She plays a pivotal role at the end of GTA IV's story.
Kate is a bit more complicated to date than the other girlfriends. She prefers Niko to wear clothing from Modo. Her activities are also limited as well, seeing as how she does not like to go bowling, or see a show at both Perestroika and Split Sides. As stated before, no matter how many times you try to "try your luck" at the end of a date, the player will never be invited inside because she only considers Niko to be a friend.
Kate's conversations with Niko, after getting her drunk, will eventually reveal that she knew that her father was molesting her brothers. She doesn't explicitly state that her father was a child molester but she does cry that she knew what he was doing to her brothers. One may deduce at first that she knew their father was beating the boys however once Packie reveals that their father molested both him and Gerry one can conclude she knew her father was molesting her brothers but kept quiet since her father did not molest her. She thinks her brothers' bad and illegal behaviors are a means to rebel against their father.
Unlike some other girlfriends, Kate does not have a special ability which can be unlocked. She sleeps from midnight to 8am.
Cars Kate likes:
- Cavalcade FXT
- Cognoscenti
- Comet
- Dilettante
- FIB Buffalo
- Feltzer
- Feroci
- Huntley Sport
- Manana
- Patriot
- Rancher
- Rebla
- Sabre GT
- Sentinel
- Sultan
- Super GT
- Turismo

Restaurants/bars Kate likes:
- 69th Street Diner or any other diner.
- Drusilla's
- Steinway Beer Garden
- Comrades Bar
- Lucky Winkles
- Jerkov's Bar
- Pool
- Darts
Venues Kate dislikes:
Notable Outfits
Kate has three kinds of outfits in GTA IV.
In Harboring a Grudge, Waste Not Want Knots, and I Need Your Clothes, Your Boots, and Your Motorcycle, she wears a white sweater and a black shirt with denim jeans.
In Mr and Mrs Bellic, she wears a green sweater and a multi-colored shirt with black pants.
In Undertaker and dating (after she dies in Mr and Mrs Bellic), she wears a black sweater with a black shirt and black pants.
Mission appearances
- Harboring a Grudge
- Waste Not Want Knots
- I Need Your Clothes, Your Boots, and Your Motorcycle
- Undertaker
- Payback (Post-mission phone call)
- One Last Thing (Voice)
Deal Ending
- If the Price is Right (Post-mission phone call, Deal)
- A Revenger's Tragedy (Post-mission phone call, Deal)
Revenge Ending
- Mr and Mrs Bellic (Killed by Jimmy Pegorino, Revenge)
Kate's ultimate fate depends on Niko's decision to either do the deal or exact revenge.
- If "Deal" is chosen, Kate is mad that Niko for not killing Dimitri when she told him to, and does not attend the wedding. After Niko kills Dimitri to avenge Roman, Kate calls him, telling him that she heard of his cousin's death, and will be there for him.
- If "Revenge" is chosen, Kate is happy that Niko decided to kill Dimitri rather than do the deal, she attends Roman's and Mallorie's wedding with Niko, during the wedding Kate is killed by Jimmy Pegorino (who was aiming for Niko) and Niko takes revenge on Pegorino for Kate's death. Later, after Niko has killed Pegorino, Roman says that he and Mallorie are expecting a baby and if it's a girl she will be named after Kate.
- Unlike most major characters in the game, Kate has never committed a crime or misdemeanor. This idea is reinforced through the storyline missions and date dialogue, as well as her not having a record in the LCPD Database. Despite this, if Niko steals a car during a date with her, she will drag any passenger out of the car.
- Kate's favorite radio station is The Vibe 98.8.
- During the mission Mr. and Mrs. Bellic (Revenge), it is the only time Kate will respond positively to clothing from Perseus.
- Like most characters in the game, Kate will don a unique helmet when riding alongside the protagonist on a motorbike. Her helmet is white, with swirls of light green on the sides, unlike the other girlfriends, who all wear a white helmet with no visor.'
- In the official guide for GTA IV, it states that Kate likes clothing from Russian Shop, but if the player wears anything from Russian shop while dating Kate, she will insult the outfit.
- Out of the 5 girlfriends in GTA IV, she doesn't have a special reward when 100% fondness is reached; the same as Michelle.
If you select "Deal" and you have not been dating Kate before the mission it creates a glitch. When she calls and says she has heard about Roman's death and says she will be there for Niko. Then Niko cannot call Kate up.
If the "Revenge" ending is chosen, she may still contact the player due to a glitch. She shows up as an unknown caller and cannot be called back.

The actions come in the wake of increased scrutiny of the agency's spending practices.
PORTLAND (AP) _ Under increased scrutiny over spending practices, the Maine Turnpike Board has adopted additional controls that include eliminating several dozen corporate credit cards.
The board announced Thursday that going forward the chief financial officer and staff attorney will report to the board, not the executive director, and that an internal auditor will report each quarter on compliance with spending policies. Finally, the board ordered all but 15 of 51 corporate credit cards to be destroyed.
The latest actions follow decisions to cancel contracts for outside lobbyists and eliminate tens of thousands of dollars in donations to outside organizations.
Criticism of turnpike spending led to the resignation of Paul Violette, long-time executive director, and subpoenas by the Legislature's Governmental and Oversight Committee.

|Chattanooga Sail & Frame Offers Trike Wings, Repair Services and Parts
Expanding Services in U.S. Trike Market
A "Stars and Stripes sail" was a 50th birthday present from the wife of Chris Blyth of TC's Trikes. The patriotic-patterned wing (seen here mounted on a TC Trike) "is designed to match the characteristics of the TC Trike," Blyth says, "but will fit any trike on the market today." The sail was sewn by sailmaker Alan Bloodworth and the Super D-16 trike wing built by frame specialist Paul Mays, partners of Chattanooga Sail & Frame, which has been supplying TC's Trikes with complete trike wings for the past 3 years.
Chattanooga Sail & Frame (CS&F) isn't exactly "new" to the U.S. trike ultralight industry, having supplied trike manufacturer TC's Trikes* with complete trike wings for almost 3 years. But CS&F has kept a pretty low profile since it was founded by Alan Bloodworth and Paul Mays, both experienced hang glider pilots, instructors and hang gliding dealership repair specialists. Now CS&F is offering the same trike wing construction and repair services to other manufacturers and dealers in the U.S. trike industry.
A little background: Trike manufacturers are a bit different than fixed-wing ultralight manufacturers. While most ultralight manufacturers use subcontracting companies to supply their production lines with ultralight parts (and sometimes even complete subassemblies), trike carriage manufacturers may have another business supply them with the entire wing (or offer another company's trike wings as an option). This is because designing, testing and producing hang glider-type trike wings is a specialty business requiring knowledge and design skills found more often in the hang gliding industry than the traditional fixed-wing powered ultralight industry.
It's no surprise then that many trike manufacturers worldwide (such as Australia's AirBorne Windsports and France's Cosmos/La Mouette sister companies) produce both powered trikes and foot-launched hang gliders. In most cases, the companies evolved from manufacturing hang gliders first, then entered the powered ultralight market by adding a trike carriage to one of their wings. A trike is essentially an ultralight that is a type of powered hang glider, except today's trike wings are usually designed specifically for trikes. Most current trike wings are too fast (and too stiff in handling) to be easily and safely foot-launched, flown and foot-landed as free-flight (nonpowered) hang gliders.
An exception to this general principle is the lighter-weight single-seat trikes on the market, like Lookout Mountain Flight Park's SkyCycle (called the Freedom Machine** when it was introduced in '98) or U.S. Airborne Sport Aviation Center's Powerlite***trikes. Because of their lighter wing loading (less weight per square foot of sail), these single-seat trikes can sometimes use actual hang gliders for their wings.
Many modern hang gliders designed and tested during the last 2 decades are strong enough to support the extra weight of the trike undercarriage. Sometimes this is accomplished by adding structural reinforcement in important places for example, adding an internal sleeve to the aluminum tubing at the center of gravity point where the trike carriage attaches to the wing's keel. Although the hang glider may have the structural strength to carry the weight of the trike carriage, hang glider airframes are not designed with airframe vibration (from a pulsating powerplant) in mind. Anyone considering using a hang glider for a trike wing would be well-advised to contact the wing's manufacturer, as well as the trike manufacturer, for advice.
Today's trike market is seeing more companies specializing in designing, testing and producing trike wings specifically for the powered ultralight market. The principals of such trike wing companies like Bloodworth and Mays usually come from hang gliding backgrounds and with hang gliding industry business experience. Two noteworthy examples in today's trike market are Kamron Blevins of North Wing Design and Mark "Gibbo" Gibson of Butterfly Wings by GibboGear.**** Blevins began as a hang glider sailmaker, then formed North Wing Design to produce trike wings (and now entire trikes). North Wing was the first to introduce a strut-braced (rather than the typically cable-braced) trike to the U.S. market with their Maverick*****trike.
Gibson was a very experienced hang glider pilot who earned a gold and two bronze medals as a Hang Gliding World Championships competitor. A decade ago, Gibson also held the official World Record for distance flown in a hang glider 412 kilometers (258 miles) on July 31 of '92. Gibson designed hang gliders for British hang glider manufacturer Airwave and developed and produced his own hang gliding harnesses for a living under the company name GibboGear. Turning his talents and attention to the larger ultralight market, he formed Butterfly Wings by GibboGear, designing and manufacturing trike wings at first, then entire trikes.
Three years ago, Bloodworth and Mays were eyeing the growth in the ultralight market. Both pilots had gained considerable experience in hang glider sailmaking and airframe construction while working for Matt Taber, president of Lookout Mountain Flight Park, a "hang gliding resort" and the Number One mountain-flying hang gliding training center in America. Taber had expanded his business by developing and marketing the single-seat SkyCycle trike using the 22-hp single-cylinder Zenoah G25B-1 2-cycle engine.
Bloodworth and Mays formed CS&F, and soon began building and supplying trike wings to local trike manufacturer Chris "TC" Blyth of TC's Trikes. (Bloodworth specializes in sewing the Dacron®-sailcloth sails, while Mays does the airframe work. According to Mays, CS&F subcontracts some of their sail-repair sewing work to another local hang glider pilot with considerable sailmaking experience. CS&F's trike wing repair services are designed for ultralight dealers who don't have the facilities, equipment or experience to handle the job, but still want to offer repair services and support to their customers. CS&F also sells after-market parts for trikes.)
Not surprisingly, the two partners of CS&F are hoping to eventually develop and manufacture their own trike (to be introduced perhaps as early as the end of this year).

I think how you feel about this camera is really going to depend on where you're coming from. If you're a DSLR shooter and are looking for a portable body you're likely going to be frustrated by the lack of control points on this camera.
On the other hand, for those upgrading from a point and shoot camera like myself, this camera can be ideal. I came from a Canon S90, which I purchased a couple of years ago looking for a camera that does a better job in low light than the typical point and shoot. The S95 was definitely a step up from what I had before, but more recently I've become frustrated with the limitations of the sensor and was also interested in exploring the world of interchangeable lenses.

The Knarl is a creature that greatly resembles a hedgehog, so much so that there is only one known (behavioural) difference between them: when food is left out for a hedgehog it will appreciate and enjoy the gift; a knarl will see it as an attempt to lure it into a trap and hence savage the garden of the householder who left the food. Muggle children have often been blamed for damage committed by a Knarl.
They were featured in the Care of Magical Creatures O.W.L. during the 1995–1996 school year, where students had to locate it amongst a group of hedgehogs. The trick was to offer each creature some milk.
Knarl quills have magical uses. Fred and George Weasley once paid Mundungus Fletcher six Sickles for a bag of knarl quills, to experiment with for possible use in their Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes products.[1]

WASHINGTON—Conservative Oklahoma Sen. Tom Coburn says that any additional federal aid to help tornado victims and to rebuild devastated areas of his state should be financed with cuts to other programs in the government's $3.6 trillion budget.

Spokesman John Hart says it's a position Coburn has consistently held regarding federal spending on disasters dating to the 1995 bombing of a federal building in Oklahoma City.
But federal disaster aid such as $60 billion passed earlier this year to rebuild coastal states including New York and New Jersey from Superstorm Sandy typically is approved as "emergency" spending that is simply added to the budget deficit. That may happen again if more aid is need for Oklahoma.
Federal disaster aid coffers remain flush from the infusion of Sandy aid.

Late on a warm August evening in 2008, Robert Andrews was standing in his yard when three caseworkers with the Department of Children's Services and two Hickman County deputies drove up, got out of their cars and asked to go inside.
Andrews said no, but the caseworkers and one of the deputies went in anyway, searched the home and took each of his four children aside for interviews. Then the officials left. Neither Andrews nor his wife, Patti, was ever accused of a crime in connection with the visit.
The events of that night led to a lawsuit, one of two similar legal challenges filed by families against caseworkers. Both challenges were taken up by a federal appeals court. And in a pair of recent rulings, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit used the cases to spell out for the first time that caseworkers, like police, are governed by the U.S. Constitution's Fourth Amendment, which protects citizens against searches and seizures done without a warrant.
DCS response to the July 31 ruling, however, is drawing criticism from child advocates and juvenile judges.
The agency told caseworkers this month that they can no longer remove children from homes without an in-person court hearing, a process that can take days — or longer in some rural areas — and potentially leave a child being abused or neglected in dangerous homes until a judge can review the case.
Before the federal ruling, caseworkers and their supervisors could decide on their own to remove a child from a home, but had to petition a court within 72 hours for a hearing to review their actions — a policy that the Sixth Circuit decision made clear is unconstitutional.
Juvenile court officials and attorneys say there is a middle ground between DCS' previous policy giving the agency sole authority to remove a child on the spot and its new policy to wait until a judge can decide.
Juvenile judges are willing to issue temporary, emergency orders known as "ex parte orders" — even over the phone or by email — to caseworkers who attest to a child being in danger, said Davidson County Juvenile Court Judge Sophia Crawford. Juvenile judges across the state provided DCS officials personal cellphone numbers and designated on-call staff members during overnight hours to issue the orders shortly after the federal court rulings, Crawford said.
It's an offer that DCS officials declined, she said.
"Myself and magistrates are available on a 24-hour basis to address any problems or questions that arise as the department works to protect children," Crawford said. "We've gone over and above by reminding them (DCS) we are available on a 24-hour basis for any issue that requires a court order of protection of children. As a juvenile court judge, I feel comfortable that we can do what we need to, but I don't have any control over the policies and procedures of the department."
Doug Dimond, the department's chief legal counsel, said he believes caseworkers can no longer remove a child from a home without a formal court hearing unless the situation meets a narrow definition of "exigent circumstances" — defined as an immediate, identifiable risk of harm that is "serious, immediate, physical or specific." The definition could exclude a child's disclosure of sexual or physical abuse, even if there are injuries visible on a child.
DCS could change its policy, Dimond noted. It is still deciding on its final policy, which won't take place until the end of the year, he said.
DCS is being 'overly cautious'
Rob Huddleston, an attorney who is often appointed as guardian ad litem to represent the interests of children, said the new rules are already affecting the safety of children.
Last week, Huddleston said, DCS didn't intervene to prevent a days-old baby born addicted to drugs in Sevier County from being sent home with the mother. Previously, caseworkers would have taken immediate custody of the child, he said. In this case, Huddleston had already been appointed to represent the child because of a legal dispute between the parents, and he was able to get an emergency order from a local judge without DCS intervention. The emergency order will last for only a few days, until the family, DCS and Huddleston can bring the case for a full hearing.
"I think they are being overly cautious," Huddleston said. "I do not agree with how they are reading the Sixth Circuit opinion. I think they are trying to protect caseworkers from liability instead of protecting children. My sense is this policy is going to be short-lived until something tragic happens."
Other states use emergency orders
No other state subject to the Sixth Circuit ruling has gone as far as DCS to limit caseworkers' abilities to remove children. The federal court has jurisdiction over Tennessee, Michigan, Ohio and Kentucky.
In Michigan, judges have set up a system in which someone is available 24 hours per day to issue emergency orders over the phone while awaiting a formal hearing to consider testimony from parents and child protective workers, according to Michigan Department of Human Services spokesman David Akerly.
In Kentucky, caseworkers are likewise instructed to seek such temporary orders while awaiting a hearing, according to the Kentucky Cabinet for Children and Family Services policy guide.
And in Ohio, the site of the second lawsuit used by federal judges to establish that parents have constitutional rights in the removal of their children, caseworkers can seek an emergency, temporary written order from a judge over the phone or via email. Caseworkers would then be required to appear at an in-person hearing in court on the next business day, in which parents also can present their side to the judge, according to Joe Frolik, spokesman for the Cuyahoga County prosecutor.
A 'neutral arbiter'
The Ohio case occurred six years before DCS caseworkers showed up at the Andrews family's door in Hickman County. A police officer in a small, northern Ohio town kicked down Nancy Kovacic's door, and caseworkers placed her two school-age children in foster care, where they would remain for 10 months. Kovacic did not face any criminal charges in the case.
"Caseworkers can't just make a judgment call and say, 'Well, I don't like this, and with the power of the state, I'm taking these children,' " said Jay Crook, Kovacic's attorney. He said the now-grown children in the case suffered abuse in foster care and had to undergo years of therapy for the trauma of being removed from their mother. "Without that neutral arbiter, that magistrate, that judge — even over the phone — you have lost all your due process safeguards."

At the Pokémon Center on route to Driftveil City, Ash and co. meet Robert, a Pokémon photographer, who wanted to see a sight no one has ever seen. No one that is except his grandfather: All four season forms of Sawsbuck gathered in the same place at the same time. Though Cilan explained that it was impossible for this to happen, Robert explained that it did happen because his grandfather took it. That was his photo. Can Ash and friends be able to help Robert find the Sawsbucks by tracking the Deerlings?
Pokémon Debuts
- Deerling (Summer Form)
- Sawsbuck (Summer Form)
- Sawsbuck (Autumn Form)
- Sawsbuck (Winter Form)
- Amoonguss
- Since the Deerling was in Summer Form it can be assumed that the season has changed from Spring to Summer since Ash's journey in Unova began. First was BW002: Enter Iris and Axew.
- Even though they're in photos this is the first time, in the entire Unova saga, we see Pokémon from regions (except from Johto), other than Unova.
- This is the second time Ash looked up Swoobat in the Pokédex since BW027: Emolga the Irresistible! when Ash and co. encountered several wild Swoobats chasing Iris, Axew, and Emolga.
- The Sawsbuck in Spring Form made its second apperance since BW019: A Connoisseur's Revenge! when Burgundy owns one during a pokemon connoisseur battle with Cilan and his Pansage in the second battle.
- Due to the postponement of the Team Rocket VS Team Plasma episodes, this is the first episode to feature Liepard (although as a photo).

Veredus Laboratories Launches Powerful Multiplexed Molecular Diagnostic Lab-on-Chip Targeting Global Threat of Multi-Drug-Resistant Tuberculosis
Veredus Laboratories, a leading supplier of innovative molecular diagnostic tools, has launched VereMTBTM, a multiplexed molecular diagnostic chip capable of fast and accurate detection of Mycobacterium Tuberculosis Complex (MTBC) and its mutations, as well as 9 other clinically relevant non-tubercular mycobacterium. These mutations are responsible for resistance to multiple drugs and are reinvigorating the global spread of Tuberculosis.
The rise of multi-drug-resistant Tuberculosis (TB) is a global healthcare challenge. Effective treatment of TB involves accurate and fast diagnosis followed by a strict regimen of the right drugs. Shortcomings in this treatment can cause the TB infection to mutate into drug-resistant strains that can become increasingly difficult and expensive to treat. Conventional methods of accurately identifying TB infections can take up to 8 weeks. In contrast, VereMTB can complete the diagnosis and identify the specific mycobacterium causing the infection and drug resistance in less than 3 hours from natural samples, avoiding the need for culturing, the most time-consuming part of the traditional method. Additionally due to its compact size, the system can be deployed in a wide range of settings at point-of-need.
"In 2011, 8.7 million people were diagnosed with TB and 1.4 million people died from the disease. With its ranking by the World Health Organization as the second greatest killer from a single infectious agent worldwide 1, faster diagnosis and appropriate treatment of this highly infectious disease is critical," said Dr Rosemary Tan, Chief Executive Officer of Veredus Laboratories. "We believe VereMTB fulfills a crucial need in the timely diagnosis of TB and its multi-drug resistance thus ensuring proper treatment."
The VereMTB multiplexed molecular diagnostic Lab-on-Chip was designed and tested through the TM-REST** program, as part of the European 7th Framework to develop new diagnostics to fight TB and malaria.
"STMicroelectronics is at the forefront of creating silicon technology targeted at healthcare applications," said Benedetto Vigna , Executive VP & General Manager, Analog, MEMS & Sensors Group, STMicroelectronics. "Our sensor and power-related technologies have enabled numerous innovations in healthcare, ranging from personal and portable to miniaturized and minimally-invasive devices. Using ST's Lab-on-Chip technology, VereMTB is a clear demonstration of ST's ability to leverage its technology portfolio as a strategic solution to address a global healthcare burden."
Based on STMicroelectronics' industry-proven Lab-on-Chip technology, the VereMTB chip is currently undergoing evaluations by the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention in Beijing, China as part of their ongoing program to assess new technologies for TB diagnostics. According to the 2012 World Health Organization report on TB, India and China combined have almost 40 percent of the world's TB cases, and nearly 60% of multi-drug resistant cases in 2011 were in India, China, and the Russian Federation.
"At the main CDC National TB Reference Lab in Beijing, we have been evaluating VereMTB using samples, collected from across China with a special interest in detecting challenging multi-drug resistant strains that are difficult to detect using other methods," said Professor Zhao Yanlin Director of National TB Reference Laboratory and Vice Director of the National Center for Tuberculosis Control and Prevention at the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention. "The speed, accuracy and comprehensiveness of the results have been very promising. We look forward to continuing our collaboration with Veredus for new breakthroughs in diagnosing TB."
VereMTB will be on display at the 43rd Union World Conference on Lung Health in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia on 13 – 17 Nov 2012 - Booth 67, Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre. Veredus Laboratories is the Singapore-based subsidiary of STMicroelectronics (NYSE: STM), a global semiconductor leader in sensor technologies, including biosensors such as the Lab-on-Chip.
Notes to Editors:
* Natural samples refer to direct sputum coughed out by TB patients.
**The European funded consortium included STMicroelectronics, University of Sienna (Italy), University of Glasgow (United Kingdom), University of London (United Kingdom), Samara Oblast TB Service (Russian Federation), National Reference Center for Mycobacterium (Germany), University Hospital of Lung Diseases (Albania), National Centre for Infectious and Parasitic Diseases (Bulgaria), and Foundation for Innovative New Diagnostics (Switzerland). The lead clinical development member was the San Raffaele Scientific Institute of Milan, Italy. As part of the program VereMTB was tested on samples from Samara (Russian Federation), Sofia (Bulgaria), and Tirana (Albania). VereMTB has also recently undergone trials in Kampala, Uganda.

carbazole dioxazine
Dioxazine Violet is transparent and has very high tinting strength. It is a staining pigment, very dark valued when it is used at full strength. Concentrated, it paints out nearly black, but it mixes with Titanium White to form bright, opaque tints of purple. PV23 produces slightly redder shades than PV37. Because the hue can vary with the conditions of preparation and grinding, it may be offered in red shade, blue shade, and so forth.
Dioxazine Violet has good lightfastness. There may be some concern about it fading or shifting in color in tints and washes. Some artists have reported that PV37, a molecular variant, is more lightfast than PV23.
Two molecular variants of Dioxazine Violet, PV23 and PV37, are available. They have similar properties, but mix slightly differently.

The Records Branch creates and maintains headquarters level military personnel data records. While ensuring accountability, we consistently provide information in a timely manner.
Obtaining a copy of your EI-PDR
Review COMDTINST M1080.10(series) which outlines the policies and authorized content of your USCG EI-PDR. The Records Section maintains and/or is responsible for the following records:
1. Active duty officer and enlisted electronic record (PSC IPDR) 2. Reserve officer and enlisted electronic record. (PSC EI-PDR) 3. Temporary Disability Retirement List (TDRL) 4. Shipment of retired personnel records to NPRC, St Louis MO.
Your PSC PDR is an electronically imaged copy of your Personnel Data Record or EI-PDR. It is your official Coast Guard PDR. This is why it's very important for you to maintain a close relationship with your SPO and to understand how the PDR system works through review of the aforementioned PDR Instruction.
To receive a copy of your EI-PDR submit a signed memo with EMPLID as a scanned PDF attachment to one of the email addresses below. We recommend requesting your EI-PDR at least three months prior to your board to allow for any necessary updates.
For Officer Record Requests: email@example.com.
For Enlisted Record Requests: email@example.com.
A military records technician will download your record to a PDF file and e-mail it back to you usually within three working days. Due to security and your privacy, these files can only be sent to 'uscg.mil' addresses.
Records over the 10MB e-mail attachment limit will be sent to you through the MLC Large File Upload Service. This often lands in your 'junk' e-mail folder when sent out. You must move it to your Inbox or it will not open.
We also suggest you download your record to a disk and delete the e-mail. We do NOT recommend forwarding your record to a home e-mail address through a commercial web carrier.
Viewing your record on site is no longer authorized. Please call 202-795-6375 if you need special arrangements made to review your EI-PDR.
Submit a request to National Personnel Records Center (NPRC), attention Coast Guard Records.
The NPRC is where all Coast Guard personnel records are shipped when you separate or retire. We hold the records here for six months before forwarding them to give the SPOs time to close out your records and send them to us. So, if you separated or retired more than six months back, we most likely have sent them off to St Louis. At this point, it's best to contact the NPRC for services connected with your PDR. To gain copies of your PDR in part or whole from the NPRC, you will have to submit a request.
Employment Verification & Retired Records
The Personnel Service Division (PSD) provides information that people commonly believe we have here, but do not. For example:
All potential employers and any other legal entities should please call the PSD for assistance with these issues.
Immigration and Naturalization Issues for USCG Members
Please see our Immigration Web Page for the services we provide in this area.
Merchant Marine Personnel
From time to time former Merchant Marine personnel contact us here for information on their records. We don't service such records, but for those who need to contact the National Maritime Center. (304-433-3400).

In data communications, a gigabit is one billion bits, or 1,000,000,000 (that is, 109) bits. It's commonly used for measuring the amount of data that is transferred in a second between two telecommunication points. For example, Gigabit Ethernet is a high-speed form of Ethernet (a local area network technology) that can provide data transfer rates of about 1 gigabit per second. Gigabits per second is usually shortened to Gbps. Some sources define a gigabit to mean 1,073,741,824 (that is, 230) bits. Although the bit is a unit of the binary number system, bits in data communications are discrete signal pulses and have historically been counted using the decimal number system. For example, 28.8 kilobits per second (Kbps) is 28,800 bits per second. Because of computer architecture and memory address boundaries, bytes are always some multiple or exponent of two

I'm in San Diego for my cousin's Wedding so I thought I would call up one of my favorite Advanced Style ladies. I met Lubi at the New Museum a while back and have been inspired by her take on life and style ever since. Lubi works in science, but she has a great love for art and fashion. When we were talking she told me that she, "Dreams of Concrete" and can't wait to move to New York where she can explore more of her creative passions. Lubi's personal style is a mix of simple elegance with a touch of the avant garde
Lubi takes clean designs and accessorizes them to make them her own. Check out how she uses a basic white James Perse skirt and top to make three different unique and fashionable outfits. James Perse is one of her favorite brands because she can pair their comfortable basics with her personal touches to make wearable and artful combinations.
A few months ago I had Lubi write about letting her hair go silver and I thought I'd share it once again! I have many more photos of Lubi to post, but in the mean time enjoy her story below:
"Fashion often revolves around feeling "IN", being safe and going along with the crowd. Well, not for me!. I was never fearful of being extraordinarily different. I was, as well, never ignored for my fashion style. For some reason, I was (I am) more considered different and somewhat mysterious than ignored. I might have been lost in my own fashion world. However, I was never unaware of what was being "IN" in the fashion industry. Looking through fashion magazines I always see something that might be barely visible to others. This is how I am able to create my own style in fashion. I was never behind on fashion, yet never quite "IN" fashion. Having said that, let's talk about " THE silver hair."
At first, my hair started to develop pale, very blond streaks. These out of the blue pale stripes reminded me of platinum elegance! Nice! Very nice!!! But if you gazed at it thoroughly enough, my hair was getting gray. GRAY!!!!????. Well, some might recognize it as gray hair, age, genetics, stress, etc. I see it differently. I see it simply- SILVER. I see it as PLATINUM ELEGANCE!!!! To others it might represent a sign of age. To me it portrays a photograph of a lady brushed in silver glitter, kissed by California sun, ocean breeze and sea mist. To me, my silver hair is a MYSTERY of all mysteries.
Martin Luther said: "The hair is the richest ornament of a woman". My portrait is painted silver. For now, I like it. Someday, I might paint it differently. "

... and I'm grumpy! 1 thanks
It's maybe better if I stay off AWeb today :(
don't moan
I have had and still have no phone/internet etc since the early hours of Saturday morning!!
Cable thieves apparently
Have had to get a mobile internet stick to try and do some work today!!
Ohhh... Marion :(
It's bad for that to happen at any time ... but the timing couldn't be much worse for you.
I hope it gets resolved soon and the culprits are caught and 'educated' about the effects of their crime!
Personally ... 1 thanks
... I would use them to bridge the gap where the cable was, and turn the power on full!
Phone back on now - have been told by a business user that when she enquired the reason for long delays was that when cable was stolen you never repaired within a certain unspecified time as they just came ans stole it again - any BT or Openreach people out there to deny or confirm?
For whatever reason it was not treated as a priority yet we have in the exchange area a lot of elderly, doctors, schools, post office etc etc It could have had dire consequences pre dawn Saturday morning to Thursday tea time seems unbelievable to me
Rant over - now to catch up on some work

Vic, high on drugs, wakes up and receives a message from Gonzalez' who asks him how has the deal been. He goes to a nearby payphone informing Gonzalez' about the hit and Gonzalez' furiously tells him to kill the one's who stole it and take the drugs back to the original lockup. The attackers are over at a party in Starfish Island, Vic makes his way over there and kills all the enemies. He, then, takes the van and drives it over to the lockup while he's high on drugs.

handmade photo booth
A while back I was asked to create a photo backdrop for the iLoveToCreate booth at the Craft and Hobby Association show (which took place this last weekend). After lots of brainstorming I decided on a fun and simple handmade photo back drop full of layers of garland. Handmade photo booths and backdrops are all the rage, especially for weddings and events but you can use them for all kinds of photo opportunities. Creating a fun backdrop is SUPER easy and a great way to capture whimsical and fun photos!
I used a large piece of pink canvas and started by painting and stamping garland onto the surface. I also used pieces of fabric and and glued them to the surface. Once the surface of the canvas was filled with garland I got to work creating real garland. All of the "real" garland got draped over the top of the painted canvas. The result is layers and layers of festive garland.
I even added a little striped awning to the top!
You can't have a photo booth without some fun props! With a little creativity, some felt and cardboard you can come up with all kinds of props to use in photos!
Then you are ready to take photos!

Visenya Targaryen
this wiki
- "Visenya Targaryen was a great warrior. She had a Valyrian steel sword she called "Dark Sister"."
- ―Arya Stark
Visenya Targaryen is an unseen character mentioned in the second season. She lived and died centuries before the events of the series, and is not expected to appear. She was the sister and wife of Aegon the Conqueror and helped him in his invasion and conquest of Westeros three centuries before the events of the series. She was one of the first Queens of the Seven Kingdoms.
Visenya was the sister of Aegon and Rhaenys, and was born on Dragonstone, the Targaryen stronghold in the Narrow Sea. Following Valyrian custom, she and Rhaenys both married Aegon. All three rode dragons, with Visenya riding the dragon known as Vhagar. Visenya also wielded the Valyrian steel blade Dark Sister in battle.[1]
Harrenhal was burned by dragonfire during the War of Conquest, and all three dragons later deployed at the Field of Fire, where they destroyed the largest army ever fielded against their troops and broke the back of resistance to their rule in Westeros.[1]
She was the mother of Maegor Targaryen, known as Maegor the Cruel, the third King on the Iron Throne, but he died without issue, so all of the subsequent Targaryen rulers (including Daenerys Targaryen) claim their descent from Visenya's sister, Rhaenys.
Season 2
Arya Stark, whilst posing as a common serving girl in Lannister-occupied Harrenhal, reveals to Tywin Lannister that Visenya was a hero of hers. She shows knowledge of Visenya's role in razing Harrenhal.[1]
Season 3
Shireen Baratheon gives Davos Seaworth a book about Aegon the Conqueror to read during his incarceration. Just before his release, Davos reads a passage about Visenya, having a bit of difficulty reading her name and that of Vhagar.
In the books
In the A Song of Ice and Fire novels, Visenya is said to have been the more temperamental of Aegon's sisters. She was a noted warrior but also had diplomatic skills. After the razing of Harrenhal, she flew on her dragon to Crackclaw Point and won the support of the native inhabitants by promising that they would hold fealty only to the Iron Throne and no other lords.
The World of Ice and Fire confirms that Visenya was the more martial of the two sisters. She supported the Targaryen fleet when it attempted to take Gulltown early during the War of Conquest, but was unable to prevent its destruction at the hands of the Arryn fleet. She did destroy much of the Arryn fleet with her dragon in vengeance, but could not follow up on the victory. Later, she joined her brother-husband on the Field of Fire, helping win a great victory there (despite sustaining a wound from an arrow). Afterwards she managed to secure the loyalty of House Arryn by simply flying her dragon to the Eyrie and allowing the King of the Vale (a young boy) a ride on her dragon's back, thus avoiding a bloody conflict.
Though beautiful, skilled in battle and fierce, Visenya was somewhat stand-offish in matters of the heart. Aegon allegedly spent only one night with her for every ten he spent with Rhaenys.
