From Appa to Azula, the city of Ba Sing Se holds something for everyone. But Aang, Katara, Sokka, and Toph are more than just tourists. Together they must stop Azula's treacherous takeover of the city or watch the Earth Kingdom fall to the Fire Nation. It all culminates in the best bending battle of the season!
Episode Descriptions:
Volume 4, Chapter 16
Following Appa's disappearance in
Book 2: Earth
, Chapter 10, Appa is taken by the Sandbenders from the library and sold to the Bedouins. Although Appa is tied down, he is hard to control so the Bedouins sell Appa to a traveling Fire Nation circus. At the circus, a cruel animal trainer "breaks" Appa and forces him to perform in the circus. Appa manages to break free from the circus and goes searching for Aang. Unable to find him, he looks for a place to rest. Appa finds shelter in a barn, but he is violently chased away by a farmer. Still looking for shelter, Appa finds a cave but realizes that the cave is home to another animal a Boar-q-pine. The two animals have a vicious fight and Appa is injured, stuck with Boar-q-needles. Appa is now becoming more animalistic and it shows when Suki (from
Book 1 Chapter 4
) comes across him. Appa is like an angry beast and Suki has to calm him down. She and the other Kyoshi warriors take care of Appa but it doesn't last for long the Kyoshi warriors are attacked by Azula, Mai and Ty Lee -- and Appa is forced to flee.
Volume 4, Chapter 17
Aang is searching around Ba Sing Se for Appa. He is lead off track by the Dai Li and Long Feng, who actually have Appa and who don't want Aang to find him. The kids run into Jet who has been brainwashed by the Dai Li. He has information on a secret underground prison. Could this be where Appa is? The kids try to deprogram Jet so that they can get the information about the prison from him. Meanwhile, Zuko finds out that Aang is in the city and decides that he is going to find the bison first. So the race to find Appa has begun!
Volume 4, Chapter 18
After a joyful reunion with Appa, the kids are determined to visit the king to tell him of the conspiracy taking place in his city.
Upon arriving at the palace, the kids realize Long Feng and the Dai Li have been expecting them. With Toph's help, they plow through and eventually find the king in his chambers, completely insulated, even from the ruckus going on in his palace. They spill everything to the king. He listens in disbelief as they tell him of the war going on, of the Fire Nation drill, and of the massive Dai Li conspiracy. He can't believe his eyes. "What is the Fire Nation doing at Ba Sing Se?" The kids tell him it's because they're about to invade his city. Long Feng protests, and the king has him arrested.
As the king's men scour through what remains of the Dai Li offices, they find even more incriminating evidence of several important messages that Long Feng has intercepted. There is a letter to Toph from her mother, who is apparently in the city trying to find her. And there is also a letter from the Water Tribe platoon written by Katara and Sokka's father! In addition, Aang finds a message attached to Appa. It's from a guru at the Eastern Air Temple. This mysterious stranger claims to have helpful advice for Aang.
In a moment of tension, the kids realize they must separate in order to fulfill their individual needs.
Volume 4, Chapter 19
Without their friends to bail them out, each of our heroes must discover and rely on their own inner strengths to solve their individual dilemmas.
Aang arrives at the Eastern Air Temple with Appa and meets the Guru. He is delighted to finally meet the Avatar. He places his hand on Aang's arrow and says, "You are an emotional time bomb. If you do not deal with your inner turmoil and gain control of the Avatar state, you will become the most destructive force in the world."
Sokka reunites with his father, Bato, and the men of his tribe. Hakoda is shocked to see his son again, and can't believe how much he's grown. He updates Sokka on their mission: for several months, the Water Tribe has been protecting the mouth of the bay (or river) from Fire Nation ships. If the ships get through, the Fire Nation could launch a naval assault on Ba Sing Se.
Toph is in a metal box, being transported back home, by Xin Fu and Master Yu. The two men remark on how wealthy they will be once they return Toph to her father. When Toph realizes that her charm isn't going to get her out of the box, she decides to bend her way out. Focusing her chi, Toph tries to bend the small particles of earth that are present in the metal.
Katara arrives at the King's palace, eager to greet Suki and the Kyoshi warriors. But as the girls turn around, Katara realizes something is wrong but before she can react, Ty Lee attacks Katara, taking away her bending. Katara is now Azula's prisoner.
Volume 4, Chapter 20
As Aang and Sokka fly back toward Ba Sing Se, it's clear that Aang is really shaken up. Sokka asks what kind of trouble Katara is in. Aang says he doesn't know exactly what's wrong but in his vision, she called to him for help.
Azula has taken over the Dai Li and subjugated Long Feng to her will. Now she has plans for the entire Earth Kingdom. She orders that Katara be taken to a secret place. She is betting that the Avatar will be stupid enough to focus on saving his friend instead of saving the city.
The gang meets with the Earth King. Despite Aang's concern, the Earth King claims everything is going fine, and Katara is fine. It's not long before Azula captures the King, Sokka, and Toph.
Zuko, also Azula's prisoner, and Katara are placed in a crystal prison chamber with no apparent way to get in or out. They two begin opening up to each other -- just a little. Katara discovers that Zuko is more honorable than she thought. She offers, if only momentarily, to heal Zuko's scar.
But Zuko is not to be trusted. In a dramatic, season finale battle, he and Azula team up against Aang and Katara in the crystal chamber. The battle is fierce and evenly matched. Zuko announces, "It's over, Avatar... capturing you has always been my destiny." Aang responds, "You've got your destiny... and I've got mine." His eyes and tattoos begin glowing. But just as his powerful form rises heroically, Azula zaps him with a particularly forceful bolt of lightning. Aang falls, mortally wounded. Katara rushes to his side. She is able to get him to safety thanks to last minute cover from Uncle Iroh.
Azula relishes their victory, and assures Zuko that he did the right thing. When he returns to the Fire Nation father will welcome him as a returning war hero. But Zuko's expression shows he is not sure if he made the right choice.

Depressing Viral Infographic Shows How Often Rapes Go Unpunished And How Seldom False Accusations Are Made
- 3 years ago by Jamie Peck

An infographic has been going around the web today that purports to show just how many rapes go unreported, and how few false accusations of rape are made. I already know the sad ballpark statistics on this, but it's still shocking to see it represented so starkly. More

I would say less than a handful of people in the world will ever get 200GS on this after buying it (which I now regret) think its going to get poor word of mouth & bad reivews due to how hard & unforgiving it is.
If your going to make a hard game at least give an easier option in the menu with more checkpoints this is such a shame its so good looking & the atmosphere is incredible & utterly stunning in places but the level of difficulty is beyond ridiculous. 2nd level alone will take most people an hour just to figure out what to do the difficulty goes from easy to impossible.
Huge letdown for me I have now removed from my scorecard as I had 0GS cannot see me ever returning to it unless they produce a serious balance issue patch. Whoever did the QA testing deserves to be fired there is no way on earth this game could ever be completed by most players let alone not dying!

STARKVILLE -- The only sure thing about University of Memphis quarterback Andy Summerlin's season-opening performance against No. 20 Mississippi State on Thursday night likely will be that he will be the oldest player on the field.
OXFORD -- Vincent Sanders is ready to make an impact. With the University of Mississippi football team's season opener against BYU looming at 3:45 p.m. Saturday (ESPN), Sanders appears primed to get the first chance to make a play. The 6-foot-1, 190-pounder is listed behind freshman Donte Moncrief at split end. Ja-Mes Logan or Nickolas Brassel, Tobias Singleton, or Terrell Grant are listed at flanker.
STARKVILLE -- Nothing will be basic about the No. 20 Mississippi State football team's defense after the first play this season. As he prepares for his first game as defensive coordinator, MSU coach Chris Wilson said his unit won't leave any schemes unused in its season opener Thursday at the University of Memphis (7 p.m., Fox Sports Net).
STARKVILLE -- The Mississippi State football team's quarterback position is in a much better shape than last year as the team prepares for its season opener at 7 p.m. Thursday (Fox Sports Net) at the University of Memphis.
STARKVILLE -- Mississippi State defensive coordinator Chris Wilson made it clear Monday why junior linebacker Brandon Wilson is still where he is on the Bulldogs' opening week depth chart.
FULTON -- The foundation has been laid. Jon Williams knows the next step is to put players in the right positions so they can make plays.
STARKVILLE -- Go ahead and let Mississippi State coach Dan Mullen describe the way he see the give-and-take relationship among coaches.
STARKVILLE -- There already is a bit of desperation, a lot of frustration, and some shock in the voice of Mississippi State volleyball coach Jenny Hazelwood. After a 1-2 weekend in its season-opening Maroon Classic tournament at Newell-Grissom Gymnasium, there's legitimate arguments all of those feelings are justified.
Buddy Stephens is apprehensive, curious, and confident all at the same time. If that sounds difficult, the East Mississippi Community College football coach will tell you it isn't.
OXFORD -- With the season opener one week away, the University of Mississippi football team took the field inside Vaught-Hemingway for a two-plus hour dress rehearsal Saturday morning.
OXFORD -- Houston Nutt has been known to turn a team with low expectations into one of the Southeastern Conference's best in his 14-year coaching career in the Southeastern Conference.
TUSCALOOSA, Ala. -- The University of Alabama's August to-do list: Pick starting quarterback. Replace Heisman Trophy winner and a few other first-round draft picks. Find left tackle, playmaking receivers and a defensive lineman or two. It's almost enough to distract the Crimson Tide from all that national title talk.
STARKVILLE -- Mississippi State announced Friday morning freshman guard D.J. Gardner has been dismissed from the men's basketball program a little more than six months after signing with the school.
STARKVILLE -- Most incoming freshmen in any college sport are asked to raise their level of play. Mississippi State forward Rodney Hood is enjoying just being a part of a team where he isn't the focus.
Mississippi State football coach Dan Mullen will be the featured speaker Tuesday night at the Starkville Country Club when the Starkville Quarterback Club launches its 46th season.
STARKVILLE -- Tyler Russell still remembers what it felt like to walk off the field against the University of Memphis. The third-year sophomore would like to repeat that sense of accomplishment at 7 p.m. Sept. 1 against Memphis one year later.
TUSCALOOSA, Ala. -- Ed Allen's energy is infectious. But after only a few minutes with the new University of Alabama volleyball coach it's very easy to get pumped up about the chances for the sport to flourish at the school.
FULTON --Rashad Pargo knows the pecking order. After using his first season at Itawamba Community College to redshirt, Pargo, a former standout at Aberdeen High School, was able to watch his former AHS teammate make an impact with the Indians as a freshman.
STARKVILLE -- Seventeen games at Humphrey Coliseum and a road trip to defending national champion Texas A&M highlight the Mississippi State women's basketball team's schedule for the 2011-12 season, which was released Tuesday.
TUSCALOOSA, Ala. -- The University of Alabama football team worked out in full pads for two hours Tuesday at the Thomas-Drew Practice Fields.

Zach Sims
Co-Founder of Codecademy
In an interview with Zach Sims, Co-founder of Codecademy, a startup that offers free online classes in coding and programming, we have a discussion about innovation, the future of programming in the next ten years, and the role the government should play to help other innovators and entrepreneurs.
What is your definition of innovation?
I think innovation is creating something new that improves peoples' lives.
Explain the concept and idea behind Codecademy. What inspired you to found the company?
Codecademy is the easiest way for anyone to learn to program. We think programming is twenty-first century literacy, and we think education has to adapt in order to teach in new and exciting ways. Using the internet, crowdsourcing, and interactivity to do so is the first step to create a community of people that know the twenty-first century's most important skill.
Where do you see the biggest opportunity for programming in the next 10 years?
We think enfranchising everyone with programming abilities is a massive opportunity - not everyone will be a programmer, but hopefully most people will know the basics of code.
What is the most challenging aspect of being involved with a startup? What is the most rewarding?
Startups are a roller coaster and are almost always chaotic, but that's what makes them fun. It's rewarding to see the impact you have on the lives of millions of people.
What do you think the government should do to help innovators and entrepreneurs like yourself?
An issue lots of people have discussed is the visa process in the US - several members of our team are in the US because of their extraordinary abilities. Making it easier for entrepreneurs and incredibly talented people to work in the US should be a priority.

Upcoming radio-station-sponsored holiday concerts in Seattle include the 107.7 The End's Deck the Hall Ball (Dec. 9), 99.9 KISW Holiday Hangover Ball (Dec. 12), KEXP Yule Benefit Show (Dec. 12 and 13) and 103.7 The Mountain's Winter Warmth Concert (Dec. 13).
Radio music comes alive this time of year, when radio stations traditionally present festive concerts as holiday treats for their listeners.
The tradition began in the late '70s, when record labels would underwrite such shows, to hype their artists and reward stations for their support. The labels can't afford to do that anymore, but the tradition continues — only without the bargain ticket prices.
106.1 KISS-FM kicked off the annual tradition Thursday night with the sold-out Jingle Bell Bash at the Paramount, starring Fall Out Boy.
107.7 The End has a killer lineup for its Deck the Hall Ball on Tuesday night at WaMu Theater. The marathon show, which starts at 6 p.m., is headlined by the Killers, just as the flamboyant, arena-rock band is enjoying spectacular success with its third studio album, "Day & Age," which sold more than a million copies worldwide in its first week of release last week. It debuted this week at No. 6 in Billboard.
- Seattle-area home prices set record; 2nd-fastest rising in nation
- Students seeking sugar daddies for tuition, rent
- Florida man runs over couple on motorcycle during road-rage incident
- The best deli in Seattle that you've probably never heard of
- South Florida officers find 2 alligators eating human body
Most Read Stories
The show, one of few the band is doing before launching a world tour Jan. 17, will almost certainly include the Killer's new Christmas single, "Joseph, Better You Than Me," which features guest artists Elton John and Neil Tennant of the Pet Shop Boys, available from the Web site (RED)WIRE (www.redwire.com), with proceeds going to AIDS-prevention programs.
Also on the bill are local heroes Death Cab for Cutie, along with young-and-hungry bands Cold War Kids, Shiny Toy Guns and Aqueduct.
KISW-FM (99.9), in keeping with its twisted, hard-rock image, is going louche with its "Holiday Hangover Ball," next Friday at the Showbox SoDo. It features the sweetly named Saliva; former Guns N' Roses member (and local boy) Duff McKagan's band, Loaded; and Jet Black Stare. Do not go expecting to hear any Christmas carols. Do go expecting to bang your head.
Have fun, and support listener-sponsored radio and local bands, at KEXP-FM's (90.3) two-pronged Yule Benefit Show next Friday and Dec. 13 at Neumo's. Next Friday's show stars Grand Archives, and the Dec. 13 show is headlined by Thao with the Get Down Stay Down.
The Pretenders, fronted by the great Chrissie Hynde, are the main attraction at 107.7 The Mountain's annual Winter Warmth Concert, Dec. 13 at the Paramount. In keeping with the holiday spirit, one hopes the band will play cuts from its new iTunes "Holiday" EP, featuring "2000 Miles" and "Blue Christmas." In October, the Pretenders released their first studio album in six years, "Break Up the Concrete."
Also on the bill is Ingrid Michaelson — whose new holiday tunes are "Snowfall" (an iTunes exclusive) and "When the Leaves" (an Amazon exclusive) — along with Matt Nathanson and the band Augustana.

The α200 is equipped with an exclusive Sony-developed APS-C type CCD image sensor with 10.2 effective megapixels for data-rich, high-resolution imaging. Improved circuit design minimizes signal noise and speeds data transfer to the BIONZ image processing engine. The result of this seamless teamwork between the image sensor and the BIONZ engine is excellent shooting response, with superior color and clear image quality under a wide range of lighting and conditions. Accurate exposure requires accurate metering, and the α200's 40-segment honeycomb-pattern metering system has the versatility needed to get precise readings under a wide range of shooting conditions. It also gives you a choice of multi-segment metering, center-weighted metering and spot metering mode to suit your subject and shooting conditions. Review and zoom in on specific details right after your photos are taken on the large 2.7-inch Clear Photo LCD monitor. In addition,detailed shooting information and histograms can be displayed for on-the-spot confirmation of exposure balance and highlights/shadow reproduction.
Built right into the camera body, the α200 is equipped with an advanced Super SteadyShot image stabilization system to help prevent blurring caused by camera shake. The system works with any α lens, enabling you to capture sharp images at shutter speeds2.5~3.5 steps slower than would otherwise be possible.All digital SLR cameras are susceptible to dust contamination when changing lenses - it's a fact of life. But the α300 employs built-in systems to keep the sensor clean, and your images beautiful.As soon as you put your eye to the viewfinder, a center-cross 9-point auto focus system with Sony's exclusive Eye-Start activation automatically begins focusing the camera, which helps reduce missed shots. Plus, the auto focus system offers one of the quickest response times in its class.

Often in China, for the same product there are different quality productions made with different quality materials. WE WORK ONLY WITH THE BEST MATERIALS AND OBVIOUSLY MORE EXPENSIVE, PLEASE READ OUR PRODUCTS REVIEW. WE WORK ONLY THE BEST PRODUCTS MADE IN CHINA.
Most of the apparels we sell are made with soft high quality imported fabrics. Shoes and bags are made of high quality man made leather, durable and not smelly. Jewelry is made with high quality alloy,titanium, steel, silver and high quality man made and natural stones.

The invention present relates to a line connector between two electric lines, preferably for connecting the (first) line, especially a high-temperature line, of a measuring sensor to the (second) line, especially a PTFE polytetrafluoroethylene-insulated line, of a wiring, in particularly of a wiring harness
In order to contact the electric lines of a measuring sensor, especially of a planar lambda probe, to the lines of a wiring harness usually used in motor-vehicle construction, and to protect this junction from outer influences, it is known to extrusion coat with plastic around the contact joints after making the electrical connection. Since the lambda probe is subject to high temperatures, its electric line is a high-temperature line which is surrounded by an enclosing (sheathing) tube. The individual wires of the sensor are guided in the enclosing tube, insulated from one another in a mineral powder. As mentioned above, the electrical contact joints of the two lines, together with the end area of the enclosing tube, are embedded in the plastic extrusion coat. The transition zone between the enclosing tube and the plastic extrusion coat represents a weak point which, due to environmental influences and especially because of the different materials (metal/plastic), may not remain impervious over the service life, so that moisture and foreign matter can penetrate therein. This can lead to shunts of the electric conductors. It is also possible, viewed over the service life, for the transition zone (enclosing tube, plastic extrusion coat) to be mechanically damaged, resulting in a pulling-apart, twisting, or the like, whereby a breakdown of the sensor functioning can occur.
A line connector according to the present invention is advantageous in that, because of the seal arranged on the end area of the enclosing tube and pressed radially on the outer side of the enclosing tube, an additional protection is provided, the seal also being embedded into the extrusion coat. Thus, even if permeability occurs between the enclosing tube and the extrusion coat due to environmental influences/vibrations, etc., this will not result in moisture and foreign matter being able to penetrate to the contact joints of the two lines, since it is prevented by the seal. The seal pressed firmly onto the surface of the metal tube also provides the line connector with a high mechanical strength, so that besides the electrical functional reliability, the mechanical long-term stability is also assured.
According to another embodiment of the invention present, the clamping device is formed by a housing accommodating the seal. Consequently, the seal is surrounded by the housing, the housing exerting radial force on the seal which presses it firmly against the surface of the enclosing tube.
In particular, the housing has a two-part construction, the radial pressure of the sealing device on the metal tube being effected by the assembly of the two housing parts. Therefore, the result of the radial movement of the two housing parts is that corresponding housing parts move toward the seal to press it against the enclosing tube.
It is advantageous if the two housing parts are able to latch together axially. This permits a very simple housing assembly, since it is merely necessary to move the two housing parts, slipped onto the enclosing tube, axially toward each other, the housing parts applying the force on the sealing device. During the final phase of this axial shift, the two parts latch together, the radial pressure applied on the seal being maintained.
According to a further embodiment of the invention present, the inner side of the housing at least partially forms an abutting (i.e., contacting) wedge for the seal. A "abutting wedge" means a formation of at least one part of the housing which, because of a surface inclined toward the axial direction, thus inclined toward the center axis of the enclosing tube, exerts a force on the seal due to the axial shift, the force acting according to the wedge principle. Preferably, the abutting wedge can have a cone shape extending circumferentially. In addition, or alternatively, it is also possible for the outer side of the sealing device at least partially to form the abutting wedge, so that due to a relative movement taking place between the seal and the housing during assembly, the radial force is applied.
According to yet another embodiment of the invention present, the housing is made of the same material as the extrusion coat. This has the advantage that, during the extrusion-coating process, which is preferably carried out at approximately 300 to 400° C., the surface of the housing partially melts, so that an intimate joining takes place with the material fed during the extrusion coating process. After completing the extrusion coating process, a quasi one-piece part results which also includes the "original" housing.
It is advantageous if the metal tube has a collar, particularly an annular collar, against which the facing end of the housing or of the seal abuts. This offers a simple and manufacturing-compatible assembly. In addition, the collar forms an additional protection against the penetration of moisture and foreign matter. The collar is preferably secured with form locking on the enclosing tube by caulking and/or welding.
In addition, an inner-conductor positioning part, also embedded into the extrusion coat, is braced against the housing. This positioning part is used to fix in position the inner conductors, which are bent in form, of the first line, the bracing of the positioning part against the housing producing a certain inherent rigidity of the overall arrangement, and thus good mechanical properties existing overall. In particular, the inner-conductor positioning part to catches on the housing. This offers an additional fixation during assembly and ensures that all the parts occupy their intended position during the extrusion-coating process.
It is also advantageous if the annular collar does not have a circular surface area and/or is not designed to be flat. This has the advantage that, given torsional stress, that is when the enclosing tube twists relative to the extrusion coat, a perceptibly higher protection against torsion is provided, so that torsional stresses are intercepted and diverted onto the enclosing tube.

FIG. 5 shows a further sectional view of the line connector illustrated in FIG. 1.
FIG. 6 shows a further detailed view of the line connector illustrated in FIG. 5.
FIG. 1 shows a line connector 1 which is used for the electrical and mechanical connection of a first electric line 2 to a second electric line 3 and also to protect against environmental influences. Second line 3 is in the exemplary composed of four single conductors 4 (only two single conductors are illustrated in FIG. 1, since in each case, two conductors lie congruently relative to each other). First line 2 leads to a measuring sensor, not shown, for example to a planar lambda probe. Since in the motor vehicle, the lambda probe is at a location which is subject to high temperatures, first line 2 is a high-temperature line. First line 2 has four single conductors (not visible in FIG. 1) located in an enclosing tube 5. The single conductors are insulated from one another by mineral powder contained in enclosing tube 5. Enclosing tube 5 is made of metal. Single conductors 4 of second line 3 belong to a wiring harness of the motor vehicle, the cables of the wiring harness being formed by PTFE-insulated lines. Thus, they are the usual electric lines used in motor-vehicle technology. Line connector 1 connect the high-temperature line to the wiring harness.
As shown in FIG. 1, line connector 1 has a sealing device 6, end area 7 of enclosing tube 5 extending into sealing device 6. Contiguous to sealing device 6 is an inner-conductor positioning part 8, followed--in the direction toward the wiring harness--by contact-connecting zone 9 which joins a contact-positioning aid 10, out of which single conductors 4 emerge. Sealing device 6, end area 7, inner-conductor positioning part 8, contact-connecting zone 9 and optionally also contact-positioning aid 10 are embedded into a plastic extrusion coat 11. Therefore, line connector 1 is created under alignment of the single conductors and the electrical connection of the single conductors of first line 2 to second line 3, and the extrusion coating with plastic then carried out.
FIG. 2 shows the area of sealing device 6 and of inner-conductor positioning part 8 of the arrangement illustrated in FIG. 1. Sealing device 6 has a seal 12 made preferably of a high-temperature-resistant elastomer, especially Viton. Seal 12 has a feed-through opening 13 whose unobstructed inside diameter--given an undeformed seal--is larger than the outside diameter of enclosing tube 5. In addition, introduced into inner wall 14 of feed-through opening 13 are two annular grooves 15, having clearance from one another, which ensure that the areas of inner wall 14 adjoining annular grooves 15 can conform to the outside of enclosing tube 5. Furthermore, annular grooves 15 form steps (or gradation) in the material of seal 12 which abut against the surface of enclosing tube 5 and, in this respect, form barriers against substances penetrating from the outside. The shaping of seal 12 corresponds to a truncated cone which along its center longitudinal line 16--is penetrated by feed-through opening 13. The truncated cone is mounted, and aligned toward end area 7 of enclosing tube 5 in such a way that the smaller diameter shows in the direction toward the lambda probe (i.e., arrow 17). Contiguous to the area of the truncated cone having the largest diameter is a short, circular-cylindrical segment 18 of seal. Cylindrical segment 18 is being formed in one piece with the frustoconical segment.
Seal 12 is surrounded by a clamping device 19 which forms a housing 20 that is made of a first housing part 21 and a second housing part 22. First housing part 21, as well as second housing part 22 are rotationally symmetrical parts around the line indicated by 16. First housing part 21 has a base 23 which is penetrated by an opening 24 whose diameter corresponds to the outside diameter of enclosing tube 5. Contiguous to the base--pot-shaped--is a side wall 25 whose inner side 26 flares out with regard to the longitudinal extension of line 16, i.e. inner side 26 runs in the shape of a cone. The angle of inclination of cone-shaped inner side 26 corresponds to the angle of inclination of the outer side of the frustoconical formation of seal 12. Therefore, in the assembled state (shown in FIG. 2), inner side 26 rests flat on the outer side of frustoconical seal 12. The height of side wall 25 is selected in such a way that--as shown in FIG. 2--it does not extend beyond seal 12, but rather reaches only approximately to circular-cylindrical segment 18 of seal 12. Second housing part 22 is likewise pot-shaped, and has a base 27 which is penetrated by a stepped bore (graduated) hole 28 , the area of stepped bore hole 28 having the larger diameter receiving end 29 of enclosing tube 5. Area 30 of stepped bore hole 28 having the smaller diameter is used for the lead-through of inner conductors 31 of first line 2. Integrally joined to base 27 is an annular side wall 32 which broadens by steps towards the free end. The inner area of second housing part 22 having the smaller diameter accommodates circular- cylindrical segment 18 of seal 12, while the area of side wall 32 having the larger diameter covers side wall 25 of first housing part 21. The contiguous zones of the two side walls 25 and 32, thus the outer side of side wall 25 and the inner side of side wall 32, are circular-cylindrical, so that the two housing parts 21 and 22 can be pushed axially into one another. Side wall 32 has a plurality of openings 33--distributed over its periphery--two openings 33 always lying set apart relative to each other--viewed in longitudinal extension (line 16). Entering into openings 33 are detents 34 located on the outer side of side wall 25. In this manner, when the two housing parts 21 and 22 are pushed axially together, initially a pre-latch position is attained which consists in detents 34 entering openings 33 situated on the edge. The intention is then to bring about (i.e., reach) the final latch position, the two housing parts 21 and 22 are pushed axially further together, so that detents 34 leave the momentarily used openings 33 and enter openings 33 lying beyond in a graded manner. This position is shown in FIG. 2. This assembly operation is implied clearly from a comparison between FIGS. 3 and 2. FIG. 3 shows the pre-assembly position, i.e. the two housing parts 21 and 22 are latched in an axial position in which they are not yet completely pushed together. It is apparent that, in this pre-latch position, feed-through opening 13 lies opposite the outer surface area of enclosing tube 5 with slight play. If the two housing parts 21 and 22 are now transferred into the final latch position as shown in FIG. 2, conical inner side 26 slides along on the frustoconical outer side of seal 12, thus pressing seal 12 radially onto enclosing tube 5. Therefore, housing 20 forms clamping device 19, describe above, which is used to firmly press on seal 12. This press-on position is fixed by latching the two housing parts 21 and 22 in their final latch position (shown in FIG. 2). It is also important that, because of stepped bore hole 28, a collar 35 jutting inwardly is formed in area 30 having the smaller diameter, collar 35 radially covering the end of enclosing tube 5 and, thus, forming a further barrier for moisture, etc., penetrating from outside along enclosing tube 5.
Inner-conductor positioning part 8 is not shown in detail in FIGS. 2 and 4. Positioning part 8 has a basket-like design and has a base region 36 that is penetrated by a center bore hole 37. Center bore hole 37 helps to ensure that liquefied plastic molding material reaches the basket interior during the extrusion-coating process, described in detail below. Emanating from base region 36 are basket arms 38 which--diverging at an angle with respect to line 16--change integrally into a peripheral ferrule 39. Peripheral ferrule 39 has detent projections 40 on its inner side, or provision is made there for an annular projection, the detent and annular projections, respectively, in the final assembly position, entering a corresponding receiving depression(s) 41 which, for example, can be constructed as an annular groove. Receiving depression 41 is located in the area of second housing part 22 having the smaller diameter. If inner-conductor positioning part 8 is clipped axially onto second housing part 22 (see FIG. 2), then the outside diameter of peripheral ferrule 39 is in alignment with the outside diameter of the area of side wall 32 having the larger diameter. To fix inner conductors 31 in position, base region 36 is penetrated by guide holes 42 that receive inner conductors 31, fixing them in position.
As shown in to FIGS. 5 and 6, line connector 1 also has contact-connecting zone 9, describe above, and contact-positioning aid 10. Contact-positioning aid 10 is a part, provided with longitudinal bore holes 43, into which contact elements 44 are inserted in a manner that they catch. These contact elements 44 are electrically connected to single conductors 4 of second line 3. Moreover, inner conductors 31 of first line 2 are electrically connected in the area of contact-connecting zone 9 to contact elements 44, thus to single conductors 4. This can be effected, for example, by a crimping process and/or by welding. An exemplary embodiment of this electrical connection is not discussed in detail herein, since it can be effectuated in different ways and does not represent the essential subject matter of the invention present.
For mechanical stabilization and a positioning aid during assembly, as well as for forming another barrier against moisture and foreign matter, respectively, an annular collar 45 is applied on enclosing tube 5, disposed with clearance with respect to the end of enclosing tube 5. Annular collar 45--viewed in the direction of center longitudinal line 16--preferably has a surface area which is not circular, (Such as an oval) or not flat, in order--as describe below--to form a torsional protection for line connector 1.
The assembly of line connector 1 of the present invention as well as the extrusion coating with plastic is described below.
For the assembly of line connector 1 according to the invention present, it is merely necessary to slide first housing part 21 onto enclosing tube 5 until first housing part 21 strikes against annular collar 45. Seal 12 is subsequently slipped over enclosing tube 5. Second housing part 22 is then slid onto enclosing tube 5, side wall 32 covering side wall 25 of first housing part 21. When the two housing parts 21 and 22 are further pushed together, pre-fixation position, shown in FIG. 3, is occupied which, in this respect, forms an assembly aid. The two housing parts 21 and 22 are subsequently pushed further axially together, until the final latch position as shown FIG. 2 is reached. In this position--as describe above--seal 12 is radially pressed firmly onto the outer side of enclosing tube 5. Alternatively, the parts indicated are first pre--latched, and then slid as a subassembly onto enclosing tube 5. Inner conductors 31 of first line 2 are now bent in form and are threaded into guide holes 42 of inner-conductor positioning part 8. Inner-conductor positioning part 8 is then latched on housing 20. As shown in FIG. 2, in the final assembly position, housing 20 abuts with its one end against annular collar 45, and that annular collar 35 terminates with the end of enclosing tube 5, thus surrounding it in the radial extension. In the course of the further assembly work, contact-positioning aid 10 then affixes single conductors 4 of second line 3, provided with contact elements 44, being affixed in contact-positioning aid 10 in a manner that they catch. Subsequently, the electrical contacting work is carried out between conductors 4 of second line 3 and inner conductors 31 of first line 2. When this work is concluded, the extrusion coating with plastic (plastic extrusion coat 11) is carried out. For that purpose, the entire arrangement is introduced into a corresponding mold which is then filled with plastic (plastic injection-molding process). A plastic extrusion coat encasing the entire arrangement results, which is indicated in FIG. 1 with crossing shading lines. It is clear that annular collar 45 is also embedded in plastic extrusion coat 11. Thus, all in all, a mechanically stable and reliable barrier against the penetration of foreign matter is produced with respect to enclosing tube 5. Contact-positioning aid 10 can be completely accommodated in plastic extrusion coat 11, or--according to another exemplary embodiment--can be only partially accommodated therein (i.e., a longitudinal section of contact-positioning aid 10 may be accommodated).

Erick J. "Jay" Torres, arrested during last month's major drug sweep, was licensed by the state of Indiana to run an automobile auction company named "A Greater Way," but authorities say it was just a front for his drug-dealing business.
During the 15-month investigation that led to more than 100 arrests last month by local, state and federal authorities, Torres, 26, of Mystic, had bragged to a confidential informant that he used the fraudulent car auction business to hide drug money, according to a court document.
"Torres stated that he can explain to law enforcement during any possible encounter that the reason he is holding large quantities of money is because he is in the auto auction business," said the arrest warrant affidavit prepared by Officer Eric Lewandoski, of the Waterford police, and the Statewide Narcotics Task Force. "Torres informed the (confidential informant) that the police cannot take the money because he can explain to officers that he is in the auto business and commonly has money on his person to buy cars."
Torres, charged with 10 counts of sale of narcotics and one count of money laundering under the state's Corrupt Organizations and Racketeering Activity Act, made his first appearance Tuesday in the New London court where major crimes are tried.
Also appearing were several others arrested during the sweep, including Torres' sister, 24-year-old Sandra Torres-Vazquez, who is accused of selling drugs as part of Torres' organization, and one of his girlfriends, 26-year-old Lauren Silva, who is accused of helping him launder money by purchasing cars and motorcycles with money derived from drug sales.
All three pleaded not guilty and received new court dates.
Torres, who was on parole for a previous drug conviction when arrested, is being held in lieu of $200,000 at the Corrigan-Radgowski Correctional Center and has retained attorney William T. Gerace.
Torres-Vazquez is being held in lieu of $100,000 at the Janet S. York Correctional Center and will be represented by Linda J. Sullivan, a special public defender.
Silva, who has no criminal history, is free on a written promise to appear in court and has hired attorney Anthony R. Basilica.
According to court documents, members of the Statewide Narcotics Task Force conducted 17 controlled purchases of heroin from Torres, Gregory Celestin or one of their associates between March and August 2012. A total of $1,840 worth of heroin was purchased.
"During the course of these transactions, Torres, Celestin or their associates would usually arrive at the target locations in a number of various automobiles," said an affidavit prepared by state police Detective Colleen Anuszewski.
Celestin, 28, who has previous convictions in New London Superior Court for possession of narcotics and possession with intent to sell, has not been arrested. During the investigation, the authorities learned that Celestin also had an Indiana automobile dealership business, which was called MJC Auto Inc.
The affidavits said they observed Celestin and Torres drive at least five different cars with Indiana license plates to conduct drug sales to undercover agents.
While conducting surveillance at a residence on Bloomingdale Road, Quaker Hill, where they said Torres sometimes resided with Silva, officers said they observed seven cars, including a 2007 Mercedes S550 and a 2008 Honda Accord that were registered to Silva, a 1994 Chevrolet Caprice registered to Torres and four cars with no plates. Editor's note: This corrects an earlier version of this paragraph.
State Department of Labor records show that while Celestin and Torres had scant employment histories, Silva has been steadily employed for several years, according to the court documents.
During the drug sweep, authorities said they seized several high-end vehicles. It is unclear how many of them belonged to Torres and his associates.

Well it started off very good and went from bad to worse in a matter of minutes.LOL I was supposed to have lunch and grocery shopping with a friend today. I was really excited about this. Actually we were supposed to have coffee here first but that changed last night already. Well her daughter ended up needing to go to the doctor so we didn't get to go and do our thing today. I understand, just a little bummed out cuz I was really looking forward to getting out of the house some. This is supposed to be the weekend my son comes and stays with me also, for those of you who don't know he moved out about 2 1/2 weeks ago to live with his dad. Well now he wants to come on Friday and leave Saturday night. He pulled this the last weekend he was here too. He wasn't even here 24 hours. I drove to get him in a snow storm and he left the next afternoon. Normally this wouldn't bother me so much but with already being bummed out I am just having a really hard time dealing with this. I feel he doesn't want to spend the time with me at all. Am I over reacting, super hormonal, or what? It just doesn't seem fair. I know he was doing this stuff to his dad before he moved but I always tried to step in and diffuse the situation and make him understand he needed to think of their feelings too. I guess I just needed to get it all of my chest. I will see what his dad says when he calls and go from there. Right now I need to take advantage of my sleeping toddler and get some work done!

I hope your day improves. But I can assure you, those boys do grow up. Teenagers are so confused by themselves, they can't always consider others. Don't take it personally. You're not doing anything 'wrong'. Hope your day gets better.

Oh Nikki! I'm glad you have this place to kind of get it out...it is a total bummer but your son is a teenager....by definition, it is a time of total self absorption...in his mind, he's the center of the universe...try not to take it personally...like you said, he pulled the same stuff with his dad. If you make too much of it it just reinforces his behavior...maybe he is even trying to make his parents suffer for how unfair he thinks life is...if he only knew! Anyway, hoping today is a better day...dance with those little girls...they're at the age where they can shower you will lovin giggles...enjoy it!

School budget passes 2nd timeMay 01,2013MIDDLETOWN SPRINGS — By a 158 to 130 vote, residents approved a budget for the Middletown Springs School District.
Voters approved a budget of $1,994,899 for fiscal year 2013-14, an increase of $58,276, or 3 percent, compared to the current budget of $1,936,623.
"It was a much larger difference than I was expecting, but it really shows the community support we have for the school," said Kendra Larson, vice-chairwoman of the Middletown Springs School Board.
It was the second trip to the polls for Middletown Springs voters, who, on Town Meeting Day, defeated a proposed budget of $1,998,890, which was an increase of $62,267, or 3.2-percent.
Despite the increase in the budget, the tax rate is projected to drop 2 cents, from $1.64 to $1.62, due in part to the town's common level of appraisal rising from 91.2 percent to 95.85 percent.

The Department of Communication at Michigan State University as a Seed Institution for Communication Study
Rogers, Everett M., Communication Studies
The present essay explores the history of the Department of Communication at Michigan State University (MSU) as a seed institution, defined as an organization that plays a dominant role in a new scholarly field by shaping intellectual directions for theory and research. From the date of its establishment in 1958, for the next 15 years, when David K. Berlo left the Department that he had founded, the MSU Department produced more doctorates in communication (N = 122) than any other university department in the United States (through 2000, this number grew to 276). These MSU graduates then joined the faculties of communication departments in North American and foreign universities. They had been trained in quantitative research methods and in a distinctive vision of communication study, one that originated with Wilbur Schramm, a founder of the field of communication study, and that was implemented and modified by several of his former graduate students, including David K. Berlo, at MSU.
Like the Department of Sociology at the University of Chicago from 1915 to 1935 (the so-called "Chicago School"), with which certain comparisons will be made here, the MSU Department developed a distinctive approach to its field, and helped institutionalize the name "communication," a singular noun without modifying adjectives. The MSU faculty formed a community of scholars who wrote important books that helped define the new field, launched several new specialty sub-fields of communication study, and trained many of the early generation of communication scholars. Unlike the Chicago School, however, about which over 1,000 books and articles have been published (Rogers, 1994), almost nothing has been written about the MSU Department of Communication.
One scholarly approach to understanding the process through which a new academic field/discipline develops is to focus on the founders and forefathers (2) who launch the new scholarly enterprise (see, for example, Rogers, 1994). Such key individuals create a new scholarly field within an institutional environment. University structures are notably resistant to innovation; they are reluctant to provide the budgetary and other organizational support for a new academic unit. Relatively few new scholarly fields have been created in U.S. universities in the past century, since the five traditional social sciences (anthropology, economics, political science, psychology, and sociology) were institutionalized around 1900 (Rogers, 1994). How then was the new field of communication study, now taught in departments of communication at some 2,000 North American universities, and perhaps at least an equal number in other nations, born?
The MSU Department of Communication was the first, and perhaps the best, representation of Wilbur Schramm's vision of communication study. Strangely, for the student who wanted to study communication (rather than speech communication, or mass communication, or journalism and mass communication, or telecommunications, or communication-with-some-other-specific-adjective), Michigan State University was essentially the only choice in the early years of communication study. Small matter that the Department was officially called "General Communication Arts" until 1964, shortly before the present author joined its faculty. Never mind that Wilbur Schramm's department at Stanford University, which enjoyed its golden era under his academic leadership from 1955 to 1973, was named the "Department of Communication" (it was more accurately a department of mass communication). All doctoral programs in the field of communication study prior to Michigan State's were grafted onto a previously-existing academic structure, either (1) a school or department of journalism, as at the University of Iowa in 1943, at the University of Illinois in 1947, and at Stanford in 1955, Wilbur Schramm's three stops on his way to eventual retirement in Honolulu, or (2) a department of speech, several of which already had a doctoral program in rhetoric before Schramm's vision of communication study emerged in 1943, which later became a "speech communication" department by increasingly emphasizing a social science approach to communication study. …

I love to write software. More then two decades ago I managed to make my hobby my full-time job so I spent more then 20 year writing professional software (I guess that makes me a "Senior Software Engineer"). The last few years I spend most of the time developing in C#/.Net for all kind of windows-, web- and embedded-software.
In my free time I enjoy my family, taking photos and go diving in cold lakes and rivers in Switzerland.

Five Fun Things You Can Do for Free in Quincy

When it comes to finding fun things to do, you don't always have to take out a small loan to cover the price of admission, dinner, and incidental expenses...
On Wednesday, February 4 something great will happen at the Illinois Veterans Home.
This year's 2014 Veteran's Day Parade in Quincy will be held on Saturday morning, November 8, beginning at 10 a.m.
The Quincy Exchange Club has announced that The Field of Honor will be coming to Quincy next month. The Field of Honor, which is 1,000 American Flags arranged in neat rows and columns, will be on display at the Illinois Veterans Home over the upcoming Veterans Day weekend.
(Update 1 PM) The vets home grounds has been cleared and no suspects were located. Residents should feel comfortable going back home but should remain cautious as the suspects are still at large. We are looking for two males 18-22 yoa, one white male, uncertain race on the second male. The known white male had very short hair the second had dark curly hair. We believe they are in possession of a handgun and should be considered armed and dangerous.
It was an absolutely perfect night for fireworks last Friday night. The annual fireworks display in Quincy took place at the Illinois Veterans Home. In other years it has been held on the Quincy Riverfront. So I ask the question, if you had to make the decision on where the fireworks display should take place for next July 4, would you select the Illinois Veteran's Home or the Quincy Riverfront (or someplace else)?
The Illinois Veterans Home Quincy and WGEM-TV announced that the 2014 Fourth of July fireworks celebration will once again be held on the Illinois Veterans Home grounds in 2014. This is the third time in the past four years that the event has taken place there.
The Tri-State Lugnuts Cruise-In Night at the Quincy Mall will be held on Saturday, June 14. It will be drive-in movie night with the movie 'Snake & Mongoose' being shown. There will be activities for the whole family beginning at 6:30 in the front of the Quincy Mall near Sears. All proceeds will be going to Toys for Tots.
A few weeks ago I posted a picture of a flag in Quincy that was tattered and torn and needed to be removed. So with the help of Dawn Whitcomb at the Illinois Veteran's Home who provided me with a new flag, Tim Gottman of Sign Pro and I proceeded to take down the tattered flag and replace it with the new one. That effort was successful at least until yesterday when I went past the location around 8th and Broadway in Quincy.
For weeks there has been a very tattered flag "hanging" on a flag pole between 8th and 9th on Broadway in Quincy. I had hoped the owner would have removed or replaced it. That had not happened. No matter where this flag would have been located, it needed to be disposed of. The fact that it was located on Quincy's busiest street made it even worse. Well, I am happy to report that tattered American Flag has been replaced. With the help of my friend, Tim Gottman of Sign Pro, we took down the old flag and hoisted up a new American Flag, which was donated by the Illinois Veteran's Home.
