King & Queen, by Sorel Etrog
Made by Uncle Buddha
Work in painted steel on display in Harbour Green Park as part of the Vancouver Biennale 2009-2011. This piece was also shown during the previous Biennale. From the Biennale website: In King and Queen the Romanian-born Canadian artist Sorel Etrog makes manifest the complex relationship between man and machinery and the conflict between individual agency in craft and industrialized mass manufacturing in the modern world. The machinery, tools and processes of industrialization - steel plating, sheet metal, bolts, rivets and hinges become the dominating visual elements in this work, which was actually constructed at DeMonte Fabrication Inc., a machine factory producing parts for the construction and automotive industries. The laps of the two figures beckon visitors and in spite of its formal, rigid and machine-like quality King and Queen has been a favourite Legacy piece for children to climb and sit on. Sorel Etrog's impressive and multi-faceted career has spanned more than 40 years making him one of the most important Canadian sculptors alive today. His work has been displayed at major international galleries around the world from Israel to Singapore, from Japan to Switzerland. In North America his position is secure in many of the most prestigious private and public collections, including the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum and the Museum of Modern Art in New York City, as well as the National Gallery of Canada in Ottawa and Le Musee des Beaux Arts in Montreal.
HMCS Oriole
Made by Michael Kalus
View on black The HMCS Oriole (KC 480) is the sail training vessel of the Canadian Navy based at CFB Esquimalt in Victoria, British Columbia. She is a 31-metre sailing ketch, currently the oldest commissioned vessel in the Canadian Navy, and also the longest serving commissioned ship. The Oriole was originally laid down as the Oriole IV, the successor in a line of vessels named Oriole that were in service as the flagships for the Royal Canadian Yacht Club of Toronto, Ontario. During World War II, she was chartered by the Royal Canadian Navy as a training vessel. In 1949 she was again chartered by the Navy as a new recruit training vessel, and subsequently moved to Halifax, Nova Scotia, in 1951. She was officially commissioned HMCS Oriole 19 June 1952, and two years later the navy moved her to CFB Esquimalt to become a training vessel to the Naval Officer Training Centre. Shot on Efke 50, developed in HC 110 (Solution H) for 14 minutes at 20C with 3 inversions per minute.
You Can't Fly
Made by tripleman
Since the one Billion (notice the capital B) dollars we are spending on security for the olympics (notice the small o) is really only meant to be used against protesters and the downtown east-side, these guys won't be able to fly during the event. The reasoning is that most flights that end up in the inner harbour start off in tiny, security deficient airports and therefor are a threat. But, lord knows, we couldn't dig into our taser, pepper spray and baton budget to fund some, you know, security. It is *only* a billion dollars and those protesters won't tase themselves... I hear Poland is sending a whole team of people. So Harbour Air, Saltspring Air, and whomever else are going to have to eat a half-month of revenue. Can you hear that? That's the trickle down of money that these games are going to shower all over BC. BC, The Best Place On Earth™ (Ha!) www.tripleman.com
Convention centre and seawall path
Made by Stephen Rees
I wanted to get all of the green roof of the new Convention Centre. The footbridge in the foreground is open but is not part of the seaplane terminal. The passenger facilities are currently located in temporary buildings at the right - with the 'planes off to the left of that blue bridge. There is a temporary bike route to the right but pedestrians are directed up the stairs to the path (see note) This will all change next year. However, the operators are fighting the terminal charges
Still Rooting, For Now
Made by tripleman
A second shot of Device To Root Out Evil. Because of complaints the parks board has decided to take it down. I don't know what community they represent, but it's not my community. Everyone I know loves this piece and is horrified that it's being removed. They are taking the public opinions on this at the next board meeting: Monday, April 14, 2008, 7:00pm Thunderbird Community Centre 2311 Cassiar Street, Vancouver Or you can leave a comment here: www.city.vancouver.bc.ca/parks/feedback/index.shtml www.tripleman.com
Device to Root out Evil (2)
Made by Yvon from Ottawa
Device to Root out Evil is a famous piece of art that has been shrouded in controversy almost from the day it was created in 1997. I was fortunate to be able to see it in its original location at Harbour Green Park in Vancouver in 2006, because in the summer of 2008 it was moved to Calgary as a result of pressure from some Vancouverites who were offended by it. In this case, I truly feel that Vancouver's loss was Calgary's gain. Before Vancouver, the Upside down church, as it is also known, was rejected by Stanford University - the alma mater of its creator, Dennis Oppenheim - because it was deemed not appropriate for the campus.
Tonight in Vancouver: From Seawall to Convention Centre
Made by [travelfox]
Since the days are getting longer (and dusk stretches longer, too) it's easier to take night shots during our walks - one of the things I love about spring and summer in Vancouver. The seawall along Coal Harbour is always a favorite. What you see here is the Vancouver Convention Centre, with its 6-acre grass and wildflower roof (sloping in different angles and levels). It's an interesting fact that the water used to irrigate this roof comes from recycled waste water that the building produces. So next time you're using the washroom inside the VCC, think about this: Every flush makes the grass greener on the upper side!
Device to Root out Evil (1)
Made by Yvon from Ottawa
If you remember seeing this sculpture by American artist Dennis Oppenheim in its original location at Harbour Green Park in Vancouver, you were there sometimes between 2005 and 2008. Device to Root out Evil, also known as the Upside down church, was supposed to be on permanent display in Harbour Green Park when it was brought to the city during the 2005-2006 Vancouver Sculpture Biennale, but pressure from resident groups who were offended by it, forced the city to get rid of it in 2008. It has found a new home at the Glenbow Museum in Calgary.
The Five Sails
Made by FernShade
The delicate scaffolding marks the early stages of construction on the distinctive landmark Five Sails above Canada Place. It will take some 7 months to remove and replace them with a new fabric of Teflon and fibreglass. This is part of a Federal Government Incentive Program that designated $21-million for this project. The original sails are 25 years old, so they served well, and the new ones will look exactly the same but will be more durable. It's a big job...the sails comprise 178,000 sq. ft of fabric!

This is my very last picture for the Vancouver 2010. Today we had the anniversary event for the Olympics and Paralympics. Former volunteers, torch runners Olympic officers, or any Olympic fans came to downtown Vancouver and the plaza where the Olympic Caldron stands. The Caldron was once more ignited with the flame that reminds us exciting memories and moments one year ago we were experiencing exactly here in the same city. Thank you everyone for checking up with my Olympic pictures !

E.T. in Harbour Green
Made by Tom Wiebe
The West End Community Centre put on a screening of E.T. in Coal Harbour Green. Lovely setting for it and turnout was good. Sadly, due to the indignity Spielberg performed on all current releases of the film, I was unable to stay and watch. Future historians note, the FBI agents had guns at the end, not bloody walkie talkies. I'm really tired of Hollywood trying to rewrite my childhood.
The Pillows, by Jianhua Liu
Made by Uncle Buddha
The Pillows by Chinese artist Jianhua Liu looks to be one of the most intriguing installations of the Vancouver Biennale so far. I've been by it a couple of times and it really draws people into it, so it's great to see the interactivity. The kids on the right were having a lot of fun playing on them, while the others were enjoying a place to sit and chat while the sun went down.
Purple Puzzle

Of course it wouldn't be a puzzle to any respectable gardener, but it's the first time I've seen a plant exactly like this one - I had labeled it Echeveria (see photo in Comment, below). .........................................................................

Just waiting around, should get busy in the next few days though, the Media Centre opened today. Test shot using my ancient (1960's era) Nikkor 50mm f/1.4 with an adapter on the Olympus. The lens is in rough shape to say the least and, while the halo's around point light sources are generally something you're trying to not get, I kinda like them. Gives things an old-timey feel
Harbour Air Sea Plane - Instagram

Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard
by Thomas Gray
Stanza 5 Summary
Get out the microscope, because we're going through this poem line-by-line.
Lines 17-20
The breezy call of incense-breathing Morn,
The swallow twitt'ring from the straw-built shed,
The cock's shrill clarion, or the echoing horn,
No more shall rouse them from their lowly bed.
- If you hadn't figured it out from the previous stanza, the speaker wants to clarify that the sleeping guys are not going to wake up. Here's how he explains it:
- The first three lines of this stanza list different things that normally would wake a person up (at least, in the days before alarm clocks and cell phones).
(1) The delicious smells of the breeze first thing in the morning ("incense" is a substance that you burn to make a room smell good).
(2) Birds twittering and singing in their straw nests.
(3) The rooster's cock-a-doodle-doo ("clarion" = "alarm"), or the echoes of a horn blown by a hunter or a shepherd.
- Having listed all those things in the first three lines, the speaker tells us that none of those things are going to wake up the dead guys anymore. Okay, speaker!
- We get it! They're dead, not just sleeping!

View the original review at: http://www.countryweekly.com/reviews/stars-stripes-lyric-street
Aaron Tippin is sort of a country music Sylvester Stallone - a lean, muscular man's man who's still romantic enough to appeal to the ladies. Too often his image draws the focus away from his one-of-a-kind voice, which leaps effortlessly from barrel-chested baritone to a dark, leathery tenor.
Stars & Stripes, his eighth album, shows Aaron in great form, doing just what his fans love to hear. The CD takes its title from "Where The Stars And Stripes And The Eagle Fly," among the best of several post-9/11 patriotic anthems. "I Believed," another powerful examination of life values, is also a highlight.
"I'll Take Love Over Money," in which Aaron delivers rap verses over a groove reminiscent of the Ghostbusters theme, doesn't quite work. But the honky-tonk hilarity of "Five Gallon Tear" sure does - and speaking of honky-tonks, check out "Honky Tonk If You Love Country," a twangy gem from a guy who sings about cinder-block beer joints as if he's actually seen the inside of one.
For swooners, there's "Love Like There's No Tomorrow," written and performed with Aaron's missus, Thea Tippin. Romantics with less of a sweet tooth should try the lusty stomper "If Her Lovin' Don't Kill Me."
Aaron still stands apart as the rare workingman's champion who's not afraid to wear his heart on his cutaway sleeve. That's why Stars & Stripes deserves a salute.

I'd like to welcome you all to the new layout at Jessica Biel Central! I decided to use a photo from Jess'es 2013 "Elle" Magazine spread.
The past few designs have been primarily grey so I wanted to change it up with some color. I'm really hoping you guys like it. Along with the new design, I'd like to "officially" announce that we have upgraded our domain to Jessica-Biel.Com. To be honest, I was getting tired of competiting with myself, as FanFusion has copied my site at two different domains. If you are looking to start your own fansite, I highly suggest you apply at Flaunt.
Beyond that, I'm really excited to be at such a great domain and would like to thank everyone who helped me get it. Again, I really hope you all love the new layout and check out everything we have to offer Jessica Biel fans.
The site looks great! Congrats on the new look and the awesome new domain. Keep up the fantastic job!
I can not make a blend Birthday to Jesse,
but for sure this will be the best gift.
Congratulations Stephen , your layout became perfect!
Kisses.. :)
Flawless in every sense of the word.
Jessica would be proud <3
Congrats man!!
Stephen, the new layout looks brilliant! I love the color combination and you always seem to improve your layout style rather than just changing it. Job well-done. Thought I'd send you a few lines as I have been busy since the last few weeks and totally missed out on Jesse's b-day :( I'll get back to you soon.

I did not and I do not argue about the usefulness of understanding how
your system functions and that extends beyond just understanding the
assembly language of the machine or the code generated by the compiler.
Your examples of areas of applicability are excellent.
I suggest, again, that understanding the various levels of caching of
data, including instructions, and control data, such as virtual memory
maps and branch predictions and of the effects of data transport, such
as external data controllers, channels, direct memory access, device
controllers, devices, device caches, non-uniform memory access, network
attached devices, etc.s are also useful.
I have worked with computers for almost four decades. I have used them,
programmed them, operated them, designed and built them from the logic
gate level, taught classes on their languages at the masters level and
operating internals of System V UNIX professionally (including to a
telephone company computer center staff). I have seen the almost
complete disappearance of assembly language coding except in the areas
that I indicated above.

I'm looking for recommendations on what I should be looking for in a
firewall and any recommendations on a specific firewall or brand.
I have setup Sonicwall TZ 170's and ISA 2000 so I'm not illiterate on the
subject but far from any expert.
A problem I've had with ISA in the past was that all outbound traffic came
through a single IP address which caused problems with the email servers.
(I'm not certain this was due to ISA but it appeared to be). Additionally
since it runs on server hardware I'm concerned that routing all the traffic
through an ISA server may cause bottlenecks.
Our environment is this:
We are hosting with a good sized hosting company. (Meaning we are not
hosting ourselves with the local cable company or via the phone company)
We have 5 servers (Email and Web)
We currently have 10 IP addresses
I need to make sure running traffic through the firewall doesn't create a
bottleneck. (We currently average about 500Kbps sometimes spiking to over
I can't have the problem I had with ISA where all outbound traffic went
through a single IP address.
I really only need to route the traffic and block ports.
I don't currently need port mapping, port redirection, or VPN

Questions and Answers
Chevy C1500 Brake Light Is On
Q. Hello Vince. Hope this finds you doing well. I recently bought a 1991 Chevy C1500, automatic transmission and a 350 engine. The emergency park brake light stays on in dash. Brakes have been bled, electric tester thing has been put on all applicable places, (I am a female and just asked a couple of guys friends to look at it at different times).
Ruled out switch immediately under park brake. Used to when you moved park brake back and forth light would go bright and then get dimmer, now it stays bright, can't remember the name of it but under the hood a guy was messing with something and the light would go out but would come back on few minutes later.
I have the manual on this truck and have tried reading through it, but would appreciate any advice you could give regarding this. My brakes work good and I am driving it. If you use exact names (unlike me) I will look in the manual to find out exactly what you are talking about. Hope you can help.
A. This truck probably has Rear Wheel Anti-Lock (RWAL) brakes. There is a small black module near master cylinder that is the brain for this system. There are ways to check for diagnostic trouble codes in this system. Once you have any codes set, diagnosis can be fairly simple.
Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC) 's can be displayed by jumping terminals "A" and "H" of the Data Link Connector and observing the flashing of the "BRAKE" warning light. This should only be done when the brake lamp is "ON".
The terminals must be jumped for about 20 seconds before the code will begin to flash. Count the number of short flashes starting from the long flash. Include the long flash as a count. Sometimes the first count sequence will be short. However, subsequent flashes will be accurate. If there is more than one failure, only the first recognized code will be retained and flashed.
DTC's 6, 9 and 10 will only turn the "BRAKE" lamp on while the fault exists. These are soft codes faults and can only be read with the Tech 1 scan tool.
Do not jump terminals "A" to "H" if the "BRAKE" lamp is not on. Jumping the terminals with the "BRAKE" lamp off will set a false DTC 9. This will turn the "BRAKE" lamp on and disable the antilock system.

U.S. Army Signal Troops and Tet: 1968
Hanoi Changes Strategy
During 1967 Hanoi evidently concluded that the chances for success in its campaign to control South Vietnam were diminishing. The South Vietnamese Government was becoming stabilized as a result of a new constitution and the nationwide free elections held during September and October 1967. The nation's economy and its armed forces were showing improvement. As a result of continual military pressure applied by the Free World Military Assistance Forces during 1966 and 1967, the North Vietnamese and Viet Cong forces had been compelled to withdraw from the areas close to the population centers of South Vietnam and move into their more remote base areas or their secure sanctuaries in Cambodia and Laos. Hanoi decided a major change of strategy was necessary. A large offensive would be launched in the Republic of Vietnam. At the same time the civilian population would be incited to rise up against the government and the soldiers of the Vietnam Army would be encouraged to desert. Exactly what Hanoi expected of this strategy is still uncertain. The probable intentions of the enemy were described by General Westmoreland in his report on the war in Vietnam:
He probably had many things in mind-not the least of which was the necessity to do something dramatic to reverse his fortunes. He surely hoped that his dramatic change in strategy would have an impact on the United States similar to that which the battle of Dien Bien Phu had on the government and people of France. In this way he might hope to bring about a halt of the U.S. effort and the withdrawal of the U.S. Forces.
The Tet Offensive
During late December 1967 and January 1968, Hanoi infiltrated troops and supplies into forward positions and into the population centers of South Vietnam. The offensive was launched 29-30 January in the I and II Corps Tactical Zones, and 30-31 January in the remainder of the country under cover of a seven-
During May and early June the enemy launched new attacks, primarily against the Saigon area and in the northern part of South Vietnam. Before these assaults, and after them too, a series of rocket attacks were made against military installations and in some cases rockets were launched indiscriminately against the civilian population.
By the end of June 1968 when General Abrams took command of the U.S. Military Assistance Command, Vietnam, upon General Westmoreland's departure for his new duty as the Army Chief of Staff, enemy losses were estimated at 120,000 during the first six months of 1968. The South Vietnamese had come through this major enemy offensive with more confidence, stronger armed forces, a strengthened government, and, last, a population that had disregarded the call for a general uprising.
Building Communications in the Northern Provinces
Before Tet General Westmoreland had initiated countermeasures while the enemy was moving into forward areas. As large numbers infiltrated into the Republic of Vietnam population centers during December 1967 and January 1968, intelligence information began to be received at General Westmoreland's joint headquarters that a major offensive was to take place. Consequently, in mid-January, General Westmoreland strengthened the U.S. forces in the Saigon area and moved the 1st Cavalry Division and elements of the 101st Airborne Division into the northernmost provinces of South Vietnam. Because of the heavy reinforcement in the northern I Corps Tactical Zone in anticipation of a major enemy offensive, General Westmoreland decided to open in late January a temporary control headquarters in that area. This forward headquarters of the U.S. Military Assistance Command, under the command of Lieutenant General William B. Rosson, was designated in March as Provisional Corps, Vietnam, and was ultimately redesignated the U.S. Army XXIV Corps. The corps
was placed under the operational control of the III Marine Amphibious Force, which had responsibility for operations in the entire I Corps Tactical Zone.
Communications facilities for General Westmoreland's forward command post, including the existing Phu Bai dial telephone exchange, were bunkered in, or revetted, and cables were placed underground. Work continued at a fast pace despite an around-theclock enemy rocket attack on Phu Bai during the first three days of February. Though numerous rounds landed near the sites and the revetments were hit by many shell fragments, the equipment remained undamaged.
In the midst of the battle that raged in Hue, the 459th Signal Battalion was ordered to provide secure teletypewriter message service to the fire support coordinator located with the Vietnamese 1st Infantry Division command post at an old fortress, the Citadel, in Hue. The only means of reaching the Citadel was by U.S. Navy landing craft, which had to traverse the Perfume River in order to reach the canal that circles the fortress. A four-man team led by 1st Lieutenant John E. Hamon was organized to move and operate the equipment. During the trip to the Citadel the landing craft came under heavy mortar attack and two of the enlisted men and the lieutenant were wounded. Lieutenant Hamon, despite his wound, and the one uninjured enlisted man put the equipment in operation and provided the critical communications support for over twenty-four hours until help arrived.
The 459th continued to provide support to the joint forward headquarters in
Phu Bai until the newly arrived 63d Signal Battalion headquarters, commanded
by Lieutenant Colonel Elmer H. Graham, took over the mission of the provisional
organization in March of 1968.
Additional Free World Military Assistance Forces were de-
These "draw-downs" by bits and pieces to provide the resources required in the north had placed a heavy burden on the brigade. As General Van Harlingen explained in his debriefing report: "The 1st Signal Brigade was thrown into the midst of an administrative maelstrom, with personnel and equipment attachments and all the accompanying paper storm."
U.S. Army Signalmen and Tet
The story of the 459th Signal Battalion, as it was provisionally organized and deployed, is unique since the deployment occurred as the Tet offensive took place. The hastily organized battalion had to respond quickly and install and operate the vital communications needed, even though it was under fire. Being under fire, however, was not new to the men of the 459th; many of them had come from other locations in Vietnam that were also under attack. At this time all the signal troops of the divisions, field forces, and 1st Signal Brigade deployed throughout South Vietnam were simultaneously installing communications in support of the combat forces and defending their positions. They were handling increased communications traffic loads that resulted from the fighting and were repairing and restoring disrupted communications services. It was commonplace that in many places signalmen had to fight and at the same time provide communications support. One element of the 1st Signal Brigade, the communications control center with its communications status-reporting system used to control and manage communications passing through more than 220 locations in Vietnam, found itself in a unique position. The reporting system was capable and did provide battle information in considerable detail concerning enemy activity to the Military Assistance Command and U.S. Army, Vietnam, operations centers.
Troops were ordered to be prepared to install and restore command and control communications while under attack in all cases. I consider it essential that the Signal troop be trained and prepared to work under fire, even when he must deliberately expose himself to do so. . . . Because of the overall quality of the American soldier in Vietnam, and, due in part to stimulation of the enemy's offensive, at no time did the Signal troop fail to come through when required. Equipment was cannibalized, antennas restored, cable repaired, isolated sites defended and new links activated both night and day during periods of intense enemy rocket, mortar and small arms fire.
Thousands of dramatic incidents, both recorded and unrecorded, occurred as the signalmen fought, in one way or another, to keep the communications "in." A few are told here as they happened during Tet 1968.
On 1 February, during the height of the heavy fighting in Hue, close to the Demilitarized Zone in the north, the Senior U.S. Military Officer in the besieged city considered withdrawing the signal troops of the 1st Signal Brigade's 37th Signal Battalion from the Hue tropospheric scatter site to avoid their being overrun. But General Van Harlingen knew the site was critical because it provided the main communications with the beleaguered U.S. Forces at Khe Sanh. He directed Lieutenant Colonel Jerry Davis, Jr., the 37th Battalion commander, to order the men to remain at the site so that the vital link with Khe Sanh could be kept operational, and at the same time he requested immediate assistance from the U.S. Marine forces fighting near the Hue signal site. For the next thirty-six hours the small installation was surrounded. The signalmen beat off repeated assaults by an estimated Viet Cong battalion attacking with small arms, automatic weapons, and rockets. Helicopters trying to reach the surrounded signalmen were turned back by machine gun fire; it was impossible to evacuate the wounded. One soldier with a shattered arm was desperately in need of medical help. His fellow signalmen treated the wound while they received instructions by telephone from Phu Bai. Two companies of Marines, trying to reach the site from the U.S. Advisor's compound three blocks away, finally gained the signal site after thirty-six hours of fighting.
While heavy fighting was going on at the Hue tropospheric scatter site, U.S. troops near the Laotian border at Khe Sanh were under constant mortar and rocket attack. A direct hit on a bunker by a rocket killed a lieutenant and an enlisted man of the team operating the Khe Sanh mobile tropospheric scatter terminal. Three
At Dalat, in the mountains of south central Vietnam, signalmen of the 362d Signal Company and Company E, 43d Signal Battalion, both attached to the 1st Signal Brigade's 73d Signal Battalion, were in continuous action from 1 through 6 February 1968. During the afternoon of 1 February members of the 218th Military Police Detachment were pinned down in their small compound by fire from an estimated two platoons of Viet Cong. Major William R. Crawford, the commander of 362d Signal Company, upon learning of the plight of the military policemen, immediately organized and led a 20-man rescue team. The small force of signalmen engaged the enemy with individual weapon and grenade fire, evacuated wounded military policemen, and laid down a base of fire that enabled the uninjured soldiers to withdraw. At the same time, inside Dalat, Captain Donald J. Choy, the operations officer of the 362d, led a heavily armed convoy to the Villa Alliance Missionary Association compound, which was surrounded by Viet Cong. The signalmen fought their way to the compound and successfully evacuated the thirty-four occupants. All told, the signal troops of the 362d Signal Company and Company E, 43d Signal Battalion, rescued and provided shelter for more than sixty noncombatants.
Incredibly, there were no serious communications failures during the first weeks of the offensive. The fixed communications site at Hue, which was operating on commercial power, went off the air late in the evening of 31 January 1968 when the power station was overrun and the backup power generators located at the site had become inoperative. Communications at the site were restored by the afternoon of 2 February after replacement generators had arrived with a convoy that had gotten through, despite two ambushes on the way.
During a mortar attack on the Phu Lam signal site close to Saigon on 8 February, a vital 50-ton air conditioner serving the large tape message relay was knocked out. For several hours the station could process only "Flash" and "Immediate" precedence traffic. After intense efforts the air conditioner was repaired and became operational the following day.
A considerable number of communications failures did occur when multipair communications cables that had been installed
By 5 February most of the cables had been restored, but in the areas where heavy fighting continued, such as Saigon, numerous cables were still out. Essential communications traffic continued to flow, nonetheless, rerouted through extemporized circuits.
During the period of the heaviest attacks, 31 January through 18 February 1968, only three mobile multichannel systems operated by the 1st Signal Brigade went out because of combat damage, and then only for a brief time. Whereas the cables that had been constructed above ground were damaged considerably, those which had been buried suffered little. General Van Harlingen, commenting on the effects on communications during the first weeks of the Tet offensive, declared: "Miraculously, although Signal troops sustained several hundred casualties, there were no disastrous interruptions of communication at any time during the first few weeks of the offensive."
Later, however, the enemy was able to disrupt communications and inflict heavy casualties at a signal site in southern Vietnam. During the night of 13-14 May 1968 the 25th Infantry Division signal site atop Nui Ba Den, a lone mountain about forty miles west of Saigon near Tay Ninh, came under a mortar, rocket, and coordinated ground attack. Some fifteen signalmen of the 1st Signal Brigade were also at the site, operating corps area radio relay systems. The enemy penetrated the perimeter and severely damaged the equipment and facilities. Twenty-three U.S. soldiers were killed, three were wounded, and one was missing as a result of the enemy assault. Shortly before I arrived in Vietnam in September 1968 to serve as General Van Harlingen's deputy brigade commander, the Nui BA Den site was again attacked, early in the morning of 18 August. Even though there were some casualties, damage was light, and the enemy was successfully repulsed.
Throughout the enemy's 1968 Tet and summer offensives the area support battalions of the 1st Signal Brigade continued to supplement the organic communications of the field forces, divisions, and separate brigades. But even before the Tet offensive, it had become evident to General Van Harlingen that excessive duplication existed between the long-lines area system supporting the U.S. and Free World Military Assistance Forces and the numerous networks which had previously been installed to support the U.S. advisers. Economy and efficiency dictated their consolidation into single systems, one within each of the four corps tactical zones. This consolidation would not only promote economy in the use of equipment and manpower resources but would also increase the capabilities of the field force commander by providing communication links between U.S. And South Vietnamese units. It would provide each field force commander with a single network for control over his own troops and for execution of his mission as the Senior Advisor within his corps tactical zone.
General Westmoreland approved the concept in November 1967 and the consolidation was begun at once. Because the III Corps Tactical Zone appeared to be the one most cluttered with duplicated links, General Van Harlingen began consolidation in that area. Within the first month, his efforts netted a savings of twelve radio relay links with all their associated equipment and operating personnel. These assets immediately proved valuable in providing badly needed communications to support the 25th Infantry Division in War Zone C, northwest of Saigon, during Operation YELLOWSTONE in early 1968.
The consolidation, which streamlined the communications systems in the corps tactical zones saving a considerable number of men and much equipment, was finished in December 1968. The single system concept for support of operations in each of the corps tactical zones became the doctrine for area signal support in Vietnam. One of the more significant features of this doctrine was that the combat commanders could, in an emergency, obtain immediate communications support from the local representatives of the supporting area battalions of the 1st Signal Brigade without validation from Headquarters, U.S. Army, Vietnam. On many occasions the resulting close relationship between the brigade's area battalion commander and the division or field force for which he was providing signal support meant the difference between "go" or "no go" on short-notice combat operations.
The consolidation of communications systems resulted also in more efficient disposition of personnel and equipment. Consequently, 1968 was another year of major reorganization for the 1st Signal Brigade. With the buildup of forces, communications facilities underwent further expansion, upgrading, and reorientation. During 1968 signal companies and battalions continued to deploy to Vietnam, joining the 1st Signal Brigade, while most of the signal organizations already in Vietnam were busy submitting modified tables of organization and equipment. All this reorganizational activity was a clerical nightmare, but it was unavoidable because the signal units were operating with minimal resources and, as their mission expanded, more resources had to be provided.
One of the more significant organizational changes made by the 1st Signal Brigade during this time was the activation of still another signal group, which was to operate in the I Corps Tactical Zone. As of mid-1968, the U.S. Army's XXIV Corps, commanded by Lieutenant General Richard G. Stilwell and based in Phu Bai, with responsibility for the I Corps Tactical Zone, had operational control of three U.S. divisions: the Army's 1st Cavalry and 101st Airborne Divisions and the U.S. 3d Marine Division. This corps also had close liaison responsibilities with the Vietnamese 1st Infantry Division, headquartered in the old imperial city of Hue. In July 1968 the 1st Brigade of the 5th Mechanized Infantry Division arrived in Vietnam and was also assigned to the XXIV Corps tactical area. It was soon obvious that the 1st Signal Brigade's 63d Signal Battalion was overburdened by having to provide communications support to all U.S. Forces in the two northern provinces of Vietnam as well as the organic communications for the XXIV Corps.
By September 1968 it was plain that an additional signal group headquarters would be required to provide command and control of the signal elements in the I Corps Tactical Zone. The span of control within the 21st Signal Group had become too great; the group had six battalions assigned and was deployed over two-thirds of South Vietnam with a strength of about 7,000 men. Consequently, a new signal group headquarters, known as the I Corps Tactical Zone Provisional Signal Group, was formed on 8 September 1968. The staff for this new signal group was formed, as in other cases, by tightening the belt and drawing from other 1st Signal Brigade units. The I Corps Tactical Zone Provisional Signal Group, commanded by Colonel Mitchel Goldenthal, became oper-
ational in December 1968, with its headquarters in Phu Bai. The group had responsibility for all area communications support in the I Corps Tactical Zone and assumed command of the 37th and 63d Signal Battalions. On 1 July 1969 this group was redesignated the 12th Signal Group, commanded by Colonel Albert B. Crawford. By then the 1st Signal Brigade, with its extensive communications responsibilities throughout Southeast Asia, comprised six signal groups and twenty-three battalions. (Chart 2)
In December 1968 there were scattered throughout the Republic of Vietnam approximately 220 installations for which the Corps Area System provided communications. To meet the requirements
of these large corps area communications facilities, ten signal battalions of the 1st Signal Brigade were deployed throughout the country. (Map 6) These battalions operated approximately 250 area communications links, carrying over four thousand voice

This is a quick lunch I threw together from what I could find in my fridge and pantry today. I wanted something to go with the leftover grilled steak and chicken I brought home from a family barbecue the other night and this delicious brown rice salad really fit the bill.
The salad works well as either a side dish or a light vegetarian main course for lunch. Top with thinly sliced grilled chicken, steak, or tempeh and you have a hearty and delicious summer meal. Feel free to play with ingredient amounts to suit your own taste. I think it would be great topped with some sliced avocado and roasted pepitas.

Robbie Williams takes a leaf out of Jacko's book
The shop is close to the 7 million pound country house that Williams has apparently purchased. Fans rushed to see the star in the shop, where the singer splashed out more than 10,000 pounds on two Italian Bianchi bikes.
Shop manager Freddie Platt said: "He just turned up out of the blue." One of the fans, singer-songwriter Emma Payn, 28, of Swindon, said: "I invited him to my gig this coming Saturday and he said he might head along. It's unlikely he will but, hey, we'll see."

The Milk-curdling Ferment of the Stomach.
—Dr. E. G. Johnson has studied the action of the milk-curdling ferment of the stomach in the clinic of Professor Riegel of Giessen, and subsequently in the Sabbatsberg Hospital, Stockholm. Researches were made in 24 cases on the presence of the ferment and the pathological conditions relative to it. Fourteen of these patients suffered from hyperacidity, accompanied in four of them by moderate dilatation of the stomach. In one of these latter there was also hypersecretion of the gastric juice. One case had considerable dilatation of the stomach with hyperacidity and marked hypersecretion. In three cases the dilatation was insignificant, but there was hyperacidity, complicated in one case by slight, and in another by very great, hypersecretion; in the third case the hyperacidity was accompanied by chlorosis. Three other patients suffering from hyperacidity were also the subjects of gastric ulcer. Dr. Johnson also

NORTH AUGUSTA, S.C.---The family of Alecia and Jade Arangelin say the man who killed them, Robert Herring, was a monster.
The family says there were signs of abuse against Alecia at Robert's hands. By why he killed her daughter too, is a thought that will haunt them forever.
"He was insane. He was a psycho. He was a monster. I don't want anybody saying nice things about him because he murdered my sister and my niece. He was an evil person and that's what I want everybody to know," says Alecia's sister and Jade's aunt, Tanya Sullivan.
She's talking about her brother-in-law Robert Herring, a former Wackenhut employee, who police say murdered his wife and stepdaughter before turning the gun on himself.
"I want people to know what kind of a person he was. I don't want them to think he just snapped in the moment, he didn't just snap, he planned this. He assaulted my sister many times," adds Sullivan.
But why the attack happened now, when there weren't any recent signs of trouble, baffles this grieving family.
"We were all on vacation this past weekend. I stayed in the same room with him up in Blue Ridge. Everything seemed okay."
"So no sign of why right now?" we asked.
"No, no," Sullivan said.
"So why Jade?" we asked.
"We don't know why he did this to Jade," Sullivan said. "She was asleep in her bed. He shot her first they said. My sister, they said she sat up in bed so she had heard the gun shots but they said it probably all happened within a minute, and then he went and shot my sister. Jade was asleep in her bed. Why would he do this to my niece? My innocent 17-year-old niece?"
Haunting questions with no answer, but they believe this could have been avoided.
"Back in December of last year, my sister was assaulted, severely assaulted...I'm surprised she didn't die at that time," explains Sullivan.
At the time, Alecia had been married to Robert Herring for less than one month.
"She was so traumatized. She was bleeding out of her eyes, her nose, her ears."
But Alecia stayed and escaped another close call in May. "He called me and said 'Tanya, I'm out at this house and I'm drunk. I've got a gun and I'm going to kill her.'"
That's the night Tanya says Robert was cited for public disorderly conduct. If more had been done then, she says Alecia and Jade would still be here today.
The public viewing is scheduled for tonight at Rowland Funeral Home on Martintown Road in North Augusta from 6 pm until 8 pm.
The funeral is tomorrow (Saturday, November 3) at Big Stevens Baptist Church in North Augusta at 2 pm. The family is asking that friends and family who come, don't wear black and white. They feel colors would be more appropriate for the upbeat ceremony planned to celebrate the lives of Alecia Arangelin and Jade Arangelin.

BANGALORE: As big global players play the game of negotiations, and as the opposition wakes up to the implications of India's green plan as announced on Thursday, the Indian Space Research Organisation has come up with an alarming figure - the Gangotri glacier has receded by 1.5km in the past 30 years.
The fact that the glacier has been receding isn't new. In fact, in the last decade, it has receded by 15-20 metres (although the pace has slowed down in recent years), Isro's latest figure dramatically brings out the extent of glacial melt, caused possibly by global warming.

(Port Angeles) No damage estimate yet after fire engulfed a garage in Port Angeles Wednesday.
P-A firefighters responded to 32-49 South Regent Street at 3:31 yesterday afternoon.
On arrival, they reported a two-story garage was fully engulfed in flames.
Fire Captain Duke Moroz says access to the garage was down a long private driveway.
Firefighters had to lay a 5-inch supply line from the nearest hydrant in order to bring water to the structure.
Crews extinguished the blaze in the garage, but not before a travel trailer inside was completely destroyed.
Fire Department personnel responded to the blaze with 1 fire engine, a medic unit, a breathing supply unit and one staff vehicle.
Clallam County Fire District 2 responded with one fire engine to the scene and an additional engine to the Port Angeles station to cover additional calls.
City Light crews also responded in order to secure power to the structure.
At the time of the garage fire, Port Angeles Fire Department crews were already on the scene of a medical aid call.
It was the fifth emergency call they had responded to within a 60 minute period.
The garage is owned by Cliff Smith, who was home at the time of the fire.
No cause had been determined and no injuries were reported.

Shane Edward Bond (born 7 June 1975) is a former New Zealand cricketer and present bowling coach of Mumbai Indians,[1] described as "New Zealand's best fast bowler since Sir Richard Hadlee".[2] He has represented New Zealand in Test, ODI and Twenty20 International cricket as well as playing for Canterbury in New Zealand domestic cricket and Warwickshire in English domestic cricket. Bond is a right-arm fast bowler. His fastest recorded delivery was clocked at 156.4 km/h against India in the 2003 World Cup.[3]
Bond's career was plagued with injuries, chiefly recurring stress fractures of the back. He had surgery in 2004 to try to prevent further injury,[4] but it was only partially successful. In recent years he has suffered back problems, knee injuries and an abdominal tear. These problems, in conjunction with a late start to his fully professional cricket career, have limited his appearances in both international and domestic cricket. Since his debut in the 2001/02 season, he only managed to appear in 18 Test matches for New Zealand. Bond retired from Test cricket in December 2009 at the age of 34.[2]
His international career also suffered a hiatus of 18 months,[5] due to Bond's involvement with the Delhi Giants in, the 'rebel' Indian Cricket League during March 2008, which caused the New Zealand cricket board to terminate his central contract in January 2008.[6] However, in June 2009 Bond severed ties with the rebel league and declared himself available to be selected for the national side once again.[7] In January 2010, Bond was selected to play in the 3rd season of the Indian Premier League for the Kolkata Knight Riders. As of 13 May 2010 he has since retired from all forms of the game and was not played in the 4th season of Indian Premier League. Brydon Coverdale on Cricinfo described him as New Zealand's best fast bowler.[8]
Bond currently has the second best bowling strike rate of all time in Test match cricket (amongst bowlers who have bowled a minimum of 2500 deliveries), behind George Lohmann.[9]

Playing style[edit]
Bond was a fast bowler capable of regularly bowling at speeds in excess of 145 km/h.[10] He was first recorded exceeding 150 km/h in the 2001/02 season.[11] In contrast to some other fully fast bowlers, Bond combined pace with control and accuracy, assets which helped him find success in all forms of the game.
For players who have bowled at least 1000 balls, he has the tenth best strike rate (29.2) in ODI's[12] and the tenth best average (20.88).[13] In Tests, limiting the statistics to player who have bowled at least 2000 balls, his strike rate (38.8) ranks third in the all-time list, the only one below 40 in the modern era (playing since 1900).[14] His average in terms of runs conceded per wicket was (22.39).[15]
Bond usually batted quite far down the batting order, at number nine or later, but he was capable of slogging some quick runs towards the end of an innings. Bond could close down the innings with a couple of boundaries.
Domestic career[edit]
Bond made his first-class debut for Canterbury on 20 January 1997, in a match against Central Districts.[16] He was relatively old when he made his first-class debut, at 21 years and 7 months old, and for the first few years of his career he played relatively little first-class cricket, playing only 12 matches for Canterbury in his first three seasons. His bowling figures in his first three seasons were solid but unspectacular.[17] Bond stopped playing cricket professionally for one year after he joined the New Zealand Police in November 1999, which left him no time to pursue his cricket career.[18] He returned to play several games for Canterbury in the 2000/01 season and had reasonable success despite his year off.[19] He was handed his first international opportunity early in the 2001/02 season, and from then, due to injuries and international commitments he was mainly unavailable to play for Canterbury, and only appeared in eight State Championship[20] and ten State Shield games[21] in seven seasons.
He made a brief appearance in English county cricket in the 2002 season, representing Warwickshire in three County Championship games, finding moderate success with the ball. He has signed to return to England to play for Hampshire in the 2008 season.
In his Indian Cricket League career, Bond appeared in seven Twenty20 games for the Delhi Giants during the March/April 2008 version of the league, but had little success, only taking two wickets at 86.50.[22]
International career[edit]
2001/02 tour of Australia[edit]
Bond's first chance at international level came early in the 2001/02 season, when, following an impressive display in a match for the New Zealand academy against the touring Australian academy, he received a call-up to the Test squad to tour Australia. His debut came in the Second Test at Hobart when he was chosen ahead of Chris Martin on account of his extra pace.[23] He had a forgettable debut in a rain-affected match, taking one for 135 in Australia's only innings.[24] He fared little better in the Third Test at Perth, taking two for 154 in the match, which ended in a draw.[25] Shortly thereafter, in the 2001–02 VB Series against Australia and South Africa, he earned a player-of-the-tournament award for taking 21 wickets in nine games.
2002 tour of the West Indies[edit]
After the tournament he suffered a foot injury, one of the many that would mar his career, but was back in action for New Zealand's 2002 tour of the West Indies. He was the side's top wicket taker in its first-ever series win in the Caribbean.
2003 World Cup[edit]
Bond continued to bowl well, again leading the New Zealand bowling averages at the 2003 World Cup.
Major injury woes[edit]
Shortly after the tournament he suffered a stress fracture in his back. While initially he planned to make a comeback in February 2004, he remained out of the side until August 2005.
Return against India[edit]
Bond's remodelled bowling action proved no less lethal than its predecessor, however: in his second match back he took six wickets for 19 runs against India.
Defection to ICL[edit]
In January 2008, while recovering from an injury sustained on tour in South Africa, it was announced that Bond had signed to play for the unofficial Indian Cricket League.[26] This jeopardised his international future, as just a few days earlier New Zealand Cricket had announced that selectors would be encouraged not to select players associated with the league.[27] As a result, at the end of the month, it was announced that Bond's contract with New Zealand Cricket had been terminated, as the International Cricket Council (ICC) prohibited contracted players from taking part in the ICL.[28] Bond wrote in his book that he had no regret in playing for the ICL and stated that initially New Zealand cricket assured him he would still be able to represent New Zealand. He stated that the reason he defected was the fact the New Zealand were giving good money it would not be enough to guarantee the future of his family once his cricket career would be over. Therefore, he earned money from the ICL which would guarantee his family's future. He also stated that he had no regrets and that he was a "victim of politics" because he defected.[29]
Once he terminated his contract with the ICL in June 2009 he returned to international cricket.
On 22 February 2008, Bond signed for English domestic cricket team Hampshire. Bond played four County Championship matches for the club, taking 19 wickets at a bowling average of 19.21, with best figures of 7/66 which came on debut against Sussex. This was one of Bond's two five wicket hauls for the club. Additionally, Bond played in three List-A matches for Hampshire, taking 3 wickets at a bowling average of 17.00, with best figures of 3–11.
Return to official ranks[edit]
In May 2009, the Indian Cricket League announced that several players had been released from their contracts, and in June Bond confirmed to New Zealand Cricket that he had severed ties with the unofficial league, effectively making himself available to be selected for the national team. He was duly awarded a central contract for the 2009/10 season.[30]
Return to International Cricket[edit]
In September 2009 he wore New Zealand colours once more, during a Twenty20 against Sri Lanka in Colombo. He worked his way back into the Test squad and had enough fuel for one final match-winning performance in the Dunedin Test against Pakistan. An abdominal tear ruled him out midway through the series before he decided to quit Tests and focus on limited-overs cricket. In January 2010 he was one of the biggest buys at the third IPL auction in Mumbai, fetching the maximum possible bid of $750,000 from the Kolkata Knight Riders.[31]
In December 2009, Bond announced his retirement from Test cricket due to the injuries that had been plaguing him for years. He said he wanted to elongate his career in the Limited-Overs formats of the game. He ended his career in Test cricket taking 87 wickets in 18 matches at an average of 22.09 and at a strike rate of 38.7.
On 14 May 2010, Shane Bond announced retirement from all international cricket after the ICC T20 2010.[32]
At the auction held for the third season of the lucrative IPL, Shane Bond was one of the main attractions, with his final price being over US$750,000, because of the undisclosed tiebreaker money above the $750,000. His services were purchased by Kolkata Knight Riders,owned by Shahrukh Khan.
Back as Coach[edit]
Shane Bond was appointed as the bowling coach for New Zealand cricket team in October 2012. He retired from the position after the 2015 world cup where New Zealand reached the final.
He was widely credited with enhancing the performance of the New Zealand team during his 3-year stint, especially that of Trent Boult and Tim Southee.
He became bowling coach of the Mumbai Indians in 2015.
Achievements and awards[edit]
Bond enjoyed strong success against Australia during his career. On 26 January 2002, he bowled New Zealand to victory over Australia, getting 5/25. In the Cricket World Cup, Bond achieved 6/23 again against Australia (New Zealand's best bowling performance in ODIs at the time)[33] – which including getting Ian Harvey and Brad Hogg in consecutive deliveries. Bond struggled with back problems which cause soft tissue to break.[citation needed] These injuries had ruled him out in a lot of international cricket in the past.
Against India, Bond saved New Zealand from defeat with a spell of 6/19, including the wickets of Rahul Dravid, Sourav Ganguly and Virender Sehwag. These were the best One Day International bowling performances by a New Zealander until 2015.[33]
In a Test match against the West Indies, Bond took 5–69, his fourth 5-wicket haul in just 13 International Tests Matches, and went on to win the man of the match award. He stated that this was one of his best ever bowling efforts. New Zealand defeated the West Indies by 27 runs.[citation needed]
On 14 January 2007, Bond took a hat-trick in the last over against Australia in a One Day International at the Bellerive Oval, dismissing Cameron White, Andrew Symonds and Nathan Bracken in successive deliveries, becoming just the second New Zealand player to take a hat-trick in limited-overs international cricket, although the game was still lost by 105 runs.[34]
Shortly Afterwards on 23 January 2007 Bond became the second-fastest bowler in history to take 100 One-Day wickets, behind Pakistan's Saqlain Mushtaq by one match and the fastest fast bowler to reach the 100 wicket mark. Bond, however, needed 54 fewer deliveries than the Pakistani to achieve the feat, and was the fastest bowler to take 100 wickets in terms of number of deliveries bowled.[citation needed]
On 16 February 2007, Bond took 5–23, his fourth 5-wicket haul, in the 2007 Chappell-Hadlee Trophy. This enabled New Zealand to dismiss Australia for 149, giving the New Zealanders a 10-wicket victory over them, the Australians' heaviest one day defeat, and although he sat out the final game in the Chappell-Hadlee series, he was instrumental in the eventual 3–0 series win for the first time in Chappell-Hadlee Trophy history.[citation needed]
On 16 May 2007, Shane Bond was named New Zealand cricketer of the year for the 2006/2007 season and the best bowler for that season. In September Bond was named in the ICC's best-performing Test side over the past year.[citation needed]
Despite attempts to have his registration cancelled, Shane Bond was given permission to sign for Hampshire in the ECB County Championship. He made his début against 2007 champions Sussex on 16 April 2008, recording figures of 7–66 in the first innings. On 27 Nov 2009 he claimed his fifth five-wicket bag for New Zealand on his first test back against Pakistan.

14th December 2012, ChrisSilvester, Leicester, United Kingdom
We visited on a freezing weekend and it was lovely to return after a long cold day to a warm hotel with welcoming staff. The room had a large comfy bed and nice pillows and duvet. The bathroom was an adequate size and whilst I do prefer a bath when tramping around during the day the shower was very efficient and there was always lots of hot water. Breakfast was very good too.

FAU assistant coach says he saw Pelini use drugs
Published: Friday, November 1, 2013 at 8:41 p.m.
Last Modified: Friday, November 1, 2013 at 8:41 p.m.
Carl Pelini's surprising departure from Florida Atlantic took another turn Friday, when school officials released sworn affidavits from two people — including a member of Pelini's staff — alleging that the football coach was seen using marijuana and cocaine.
FAU assistant coach Matt Edwards told officials that he witnessed Pelini smoking marijuana in Key West, Fla. on Oct. 19, the Saturday of an off week for the Owls. That was echoed by another person, Allison Stewart, who also said she got a text message from the now-former Owls coach one day later in which he was "admitting that he uses drugs on occasion."
Edwards remains on the staff, and is expected to be coaching Saturday when Florida Atlantic plays host to Tulane in Boca Raton, Fla. Brian Wright has replaced Pelini as head coach, on an interim basis.
The affidavits, both of which were notarized, state that they were provided at the request of Florida Atlantic athletic director Patrick Chun "to assist him with an investigation." They were released by FAU officials on Friday after a public-records request.
Pelini's contract specified that if he used "any narcotics, drugs, or other controlled substances" he could be subject to firing. Pelini resigned Wednesday after being confronted with the allegations, and since he wasn't fired the school may be able to recoup $500,000 because the coach terminated the contract himself.
Earlier this week, Chun said Pelini acknowledged use of "illegal drugs" before he resigned.
Pelini's resignation was effective immediately. The resignation of defensive coordinator Pete Rekstis, who Chun said also acknowledged drug use when confronted with the allegations, is not effective until Dec. 31. It's not clear what role Rekstis has with the university now, if any. He is no longer listed as a member of the Owls' coaching staff.
Edwards' affidavit also said he witnessed Rekstis using marijuana and cocaine in the past year.
"I wanted to provide as much advance notice as possible to avoid disruption at the University," Rekstis wrote in his resignation.
An email sent Friday to Brian Kopp, an attorney who sent FAU officials a statement from Pelini shortly before the head coach's resignation was announced, was not immediately returned.
Pelini had a base annual salary of $472,500, according to FAU's most recently released payroll data. Rekstis was making $145,000 and Edwards is making $90,272 annually.
Pelini was 5-15 in parts of two seasons at Florida Atlantic, including a 2-6 start this season.
Edwards is in his first season with FAU. He previously worked with Rekstis at Miami of Ohio, and Pelini raved about him when he brought him to Florida Atlantic, saying he was "blessed" to have him on staff and describing him as "a good person who genuinely cares about his players."

I live somewhere a sizable flock of parrots that are not indigenous frequent. The urban legend varies. One story is that they were originally in a pet store that caught fire and they were released so that they didn't die. Another story is that they are escaped pets that found each and reproduced over time.
Over the 16 years I have lived in this neighborhood it has gone from just a couple to a couple dozen. They are beautiful and it is wonderful to see them.
They seem to seek out certain things to eat. One is the buds on an over ground evergreen bush.
My question is what can I plant/buy to attract them to my yard?

Greg Mitchell on media, politics, film, music, TV, comedy and more. "Not here, not here the darkness, in this twittering world." -- T.S. Eliot
Thursday, January 17, 2008
Would Jesus tell someone where to stick a pole?
The good reverend today, in a report from CNN: "Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee told South Carolina voters Thursday that the government had no business making decisions over the Confederate flag. 'You don't like people from outside the state coming in and telling you what to do with your flag,' Huckabee said at a Myrtle Beach campaign event. 'In fact, if somebody came to Arkansas and told us what to do with our flag, we'd tell them what to do with the pole, that's what we'd do.'
