Are you looking forward to spending Thanksgiving Day standing in line and fighting with fellow shoppers over the last remote-controlled dinosaur? No? It doesn't really matter whether you plan to show up or not: opening at 5 P.M. on Thanksgiving Day worked out for Toys 'R' Us last year, and they're planning to do the same again this year. [More]
Toys 'R' Us Opening At 5 P.M. On Day That Used To Be Called 'Thanksgiving'
This Year's National Toy Hall Of Fame Entries: Little Green Army Men, Rubik's Cube, Bubbles
There were no buttons to tap, screens to swipe or badges to be won. But although kids today might not recognize something as humble as bubbles, a little green army man or a colorful puzzle called the Rubik's Cube as sources of fun, those three classic toys have found a spot in the annals of entertainment history, as the 2014 inductees into the National Toy Hall of Fame.
Let's Celebrate Christmas In October 1989 With Kay-Bee Toys
We've been cataloging the spread of Christmas Creep, the debut of Christmas merchandise and decorations earlier in the season, for some years now, but it's important to remember that aggressive Christmas marketing before Thanksgiving and even before Halloween is not a new phenomenon. Don't believe us? Let's take a trip back in time to 1989, when video game consoles, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, My Little Pony, and Transformers ruled the line drawings of the Kay-Bee Toys ad. Wait, this is really 25 years old? [More]
Toy Company Brings Production Of Lincoln Logs Back To The U.S.
With John Lloyd Wright (son of Frank Lloyd Wright) as its creator and President Abraham Lincoln's childhood home as inspiration, Lincoln Logs are about as American as they come. It's fitting, then, that the toy will once again be made in the United States after a stint in China.
Walmart Focus Group Of 1,000 Kids Tells Us What Toys To Buy Them
Walmart started a new holiday tradition last year. It starts in the summer: the company invites a test panel of 1,000 children of all ages to play with a variety of toys, then rate how fun they are. About a quarter of the toys make the chain's annual list of the 20 hottest toys, which Walmart then stocks up on, and Walmart shoppers might pick up after their Black Friday towel-grabbing frenzy. Maybe. [More]
Poopsy Pets Now Poop Undigested Food Instead Of Jewels
Last year, we brought you the exciting news that there was a new line of fashion dolls with fashion pets available for kids who like that kind of thing. We were concerned and amused that the toy portrays pet ownership in a very inaccurate way: namely, that rabbits eat and poop glitter, and unicorns not only exist but also poop rainbows. Exciting news: there are more Poopsy Pets. [More]
LEGO Realizes There Are Female Scientists
It would seem that all is possible in the mix-and-match world of LEGO, but if anyone wanted to have a female scientist LEGO minifig, you had to build it from the base of a male scientist character. But as a result of widespread support for a proposal from a female geochemist/LEGO fan, the company has come to the realization that a Y chromosome — even a plastic one — is not needed to do science stuff. [More]
Walmart Recalls 174,000 My Sweet Love/My Sweet Baby Dolls Because Burnt Flesh Isn't So Sweet
Though a handful of kids' dolls have been known to become possessed by the souls of deceased serial killers — not to mention the occasional murderous, self-aware ventriloquist dummy — it's generally accepted that dolls are not supposed to hurt the children who play with them. That's why Walmart has issued a recall on 174,000 dolls that can overheat and cause burns or blisters. [More]
Don't Rack Up ATM Fees, Buy Hot Wheels Cars
What should you do when the bank is closed, you need some cash, and there's no ATM handy that doesn't charge piles of fees? Sure, you could join a bank with no local branches that refunds ATM fees, like USAA, Schwab, or Ally. Some local banks do this, too, but if the branch isn't open, you can't go open a new account. That's when you open an account at the Bank of Hot Wheels. [More]
Sure, We Need A Smartphone-Enhanced Piggy Bank
Smartphones have changed modern life, from our inability to disconnect from our jobs to making commutes more fun to making it possible to order items online from inside a store. There are some applications of smart technology, though, that are just plain stupid. Like the Porkfolio, an Internet-enabled piggy bank. [More]
Happy Meal Toys Aren't So Happy For Any Fans Of Adventure Time's Female Characters
MCDonald's recently unveiled their new lineup of Happy Meal toys, slated to start appearing at a drive-through near you on Friday. Fans of Cartoon Network's series Adventure Time are thrilled to find their favorite animated characters available for purchase along with their burgers and fries. Except something seems to be missing.
Death Of Siblings Is Tragic Reminder To Check Trunks & Chests For Potential Traps
As much as an old trunk or hope chest can look nice in your living room, it can also be a potential hazard for children if there is no way to open it from the inside. Yesterday, a young brother and sister in Massachusetts died at their home after becoming trapped inside a hope chest in their home. [More]
Your Old American Girl Doll Could Buy You A Round-Trip Cross-Country Flight
True story, someone at Consumerist has four American Girl dolls stashed away. So maybe we were a bit spoiled as a kid, but now we're going to be rich. Okay, maybe not rich, but we'll have more money than we started the day with. That is, if there's any truth to these eBay listings for gently used, retired, original American Girl dolls. [More]
Potty With iPad Stand Takes Home Worst Toy Of The Year Award
A few weeks back we told you about the contenders — from the Monopoly game that's one huge ad to the virtual Play-Doh — for this year's TOADY Award for the worst toy of 2013. The people have spoken, and the runaway winner is the iPotty, which sounds like a combination potty/iPad accessory because that's exactly what it is. [More]
Toy Self-Checkout Prepares Children For Bleak Future Of Consumption Without Human Interaction
What kind of future are we preparing our children for? There's no way to know, but reader Beth noticed a toy intended to prepare kids for a cold, robotic future: the My Very Own Shop N' Pay Market, available at Walmart for $20. Yes, it's a toy self-checkout. [More]
Goldieblox Ends Beastie Boys Parody Dispute By Taking Down Ad
Everyone loved the online ad from GoldieBlox that used a parody version of the Beastie Boys song "Girls" to help make its point about encouraging girls to be interested in toys that are more science-y than princess-y. Even the Beastie Boys praised the ad…but that doesn't mean they want their music used to sell a commercial product.
Annual Survey Confirms: Yup, There Are Dangerous Toys On Store Shelves This Season
It's a hectic time of year — shoppers dashing through the toy aisles in stores around the country, grabbing toys as they go to appease the mighty appetites of children who absolutely must have this or that source of entertainment. But this year's annual survey of dangerous or toxic toys shows that it also pays to be aware of what you're buying before you bestow it upon your kid. [More]
What Is It About Elmo That Makes Him The Reigning King Of Holiday Toys?
Whether you want to hug him or not or buy him for any of the children in your life, Elmo has been the reigning king of holiday toys for nigh on 20 years. But what is it about the fuzzy red Sesame Street monster that keeps him so popular? And why does he like being tickled so much? [More]

Reusable rockets are cool and all, but DARPA wants a reusable spaceplane for reaching low-Earth orbit.
On January 28th, 1986, the Space Shuttle Challenger lifted off from Cape Canaveral in Florida, and then exploded exactly 73 seconds later — taking with it the lives of all seven astronauts on board, including the first citizen and teacher to fly into space, Christa McAuliffe.
SpaceX is aiming for a second Falcon 9 recovery later this month, but it's back to using the drone ship.
SpaceX says the recovered Falcon 9 rocket is undamaged, but it won't be launching that one again.
The private space firm is currently planning to launch its newly upgraded Falcon 9 rocket for the first time since June, but some unexpected issues may have put Saturday's launch into question.
NASA has announced that the SpaceX Dragon cargo spacecraft was successfully released from the International Space Station's robotic arm this morning at 7:04am ET, by Expedition 43 robotic arm operator Scott Kelly.
SpaceX is running a critical Pad Abort test on its Dragon spacecraft Wednesday, which will help pave the way for its first manned missions in 2017.
The ESA will test its new reusable unmanned space plane with a suborbital flight, and it will be streamed live.
On Friday, December 19, SpaceX will attempt one of the most exciting maneuvers in the entire history of space travel: The first stage of the Falcon 9 rocket will try to land on a giant platform in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. Usually, the first stage just falls into the ocean, never to be used again; in this case, if the soft landing is successful, the rocket can be reused, massively cutting the costs of space launches.
SpaceX has unveiled what it hopes will be the future of manned, commercial spaceflight: The seven-seater Dragon V2 spaceship. It is very similar to the current, unmanned Dragon resupply spacecraft, but with the new ability to soft 'land anywhere on Earth with the accuracy of a helicopter,' rather than the normal method of parachuting from the atmosphere into the ocean. This will allow the Dragon V2 to be reused up to 10 times before needing a full service, massively reducing the total launch cost. NASA currently pays Russia $63 million for a seat in a Soyuz capsule; a seat on the Dragon V2 would cost just $20 million. Viva la commercial space travel!
For just over 500 days, the US Air Force's mysterious X-37B OTV-3 robotic space plane has been casually orbiting the Earth. What's truly weird, though, is that its payload, current mission, and combat capabilities are completely unknown. X-37B OTV-3, one of the world's largest artificial satellites, has been up there for 500 days, shows no sign of coming down any time soon, and we have no idea what it's doing or what it can do.

Will Gori Tere Pyaar Mein Be A Mass Entertainer Like Chennai Express?
Chennai Express was definitely was a mass entertainer and such movies do pull in the crowd and most often we see such movies making it big in the Box Office. Now we have Bollywood actress Kareena Kapoor telling us that her upcoming movie Gori Tere Pyaar Mein is for the masses.
The official trailer of this movie starring Kareena and Imran Khan was launched today, September 10. We hear that Gori Tere Pyaar Mein is filled with a fun quotient and has a quite a few item numbers that will be crowd puller.
These two actors have been paired earlier in the 2012 movie Ek Main Aur Ekk Tu. Kareena says that she has enjoyed working with Imran. "I think it has been great because I did Ek Main Aur Ekk Tu with Imran. It was so special. It was slightly English, it was not for the masses, it was a classy film. But this is completely the opposite and is mad," said Kareena.
"It has three to four item songs and it is what everybody would like. I think it is going to be fun. I saw the trailer and Saif saw the trailer too. He thinks it is fun," she added.
The movie has also launched two posters on September 8. This is just the beginning of the promotions and the makers have timed the launch with the Ganesh Chaturthi festive season. Looks like they have more promotional strategies coming up. The film is directed by by Punit Malhotra and produced by Karan Johar. Gori Tere Pyaar Mein is slated to release on November 22 this year. Do come back to our website for more updates on this movie. (Inputs from IANS)

I've just relaunched my site: deeplyshallow.com
In the previous version of my site, in a sidebar on the main index template I would display the ten most recent entries.
In the updated version I've moved that list of recent entries to a separate file. I'm then using a PHP include statement to display that file in a sidebar.
Here is the include file: http://www.deeplyshallow.com/includes/column2_entries.php
However, instead of seeing the list of recent entries, there's an error message where the include file should display. It reads:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: get_archives() in /home/jason/public_html/includes/column2_entries.html on line 10
I don't know how to tell the include file to reference my WP database. Can anybody tell me how to set this file up so that it does what I'd like it to?

I thought I'd add my two cents to the recent discussion about Kindles. Now, I've never seen a Kindle, or researched other readers, or even thought about getting one. But mostly that's because I already have an excellent solution - my XO. Plus, the money goes to an organization I believe in to help all kids have access to computers. True, the XO is marketed as a computer, and it is actually a computer (so if you're reading a paper and discover you should probably also be reading a paper they cite, you can go get it), but I find it most useful as a reader. Once you download a paper (from the web or a USB drive), you can flatten the computer. The screen is high resolution and easy to read off of even in sunlight, since you can turn off the backlight (a feature I wish all computers had). And you can rotate the screen... though I don't really know why you'd want to. Most importantly, since it's an actual computer, it doesn't have any of these strange PDF compatibility issues - it just opens the PDF.
Sadly, the folks at OLPC seem to have decided not to run the give one get one programs that give the public access to the XO during the whole year. Based on the past two years, these happen only in November and December to capitalize on the Christmas shopping season. But keep your eyes out, because in 2010 there's promise of a super cool new design and a reduction in price. Currently, the laptop costs $400 through their G1G1 program, $200 for the laptop, and $200 a tax-deductible contribution that gives a laptop to a child without access. I've thoroughly enjoyed reading in coffee shops with mine, knowing that if someone spills coffee on my computer it will probably still work.
Of course, my XO doesn't do some of the things that the Kindle does, like let you easily pay $10 for each book.

Name three things that dont mix.I have to laugh at myself when I think back about my "decision" to invest in RMBS. I was out with all the office ladies from one of my attorney's office for lunch a couple of years back. We were slamming margaritas and I came back to my house with the receptionist. After a fun, extended "lunch break" my little friend went back to work and I was just hanging out at the house. My Russian-Armenian contractor shows up to work on a project and started chatting with me about investments ( yeah…. I am listening to a freak'n Russian contractor about investing for God's sake). Anyway, he talks up RMBS which, in a post coital, alcoholic induced delirium, actually sounds like a good idea. I immediately hit speed dial, call my broker and purchase $10,000.00 worth of the stock.I think that at one point I may have been up a couple of bucks but, for the most part, the stock goes pretty much down for the rest of forever. I sold off a while back for what would account to about a days worth of income for me. It seems as if I got F* ck**ed twice that faitful day; both good and bad.
Come on super mario, you were short all the way on Rambutt just as you were short on CREE.OK, maybe you lost a few dollars on MELA since they did get FDA approval for their device.I suggest you stop screwing under age prostitutes and turn yourself into the authorities for your insider trading. You'll feel a lot better about yourself.cheers

H&M's Profits Drop By Over 15 Percent
The 2010-2011 financial year was a challenging one.
In the financial year ending last November 30th, H&M's profits were down by 15.3 percent — and that's a loss of over $2.3 billion. The company's CEO cited inflated purchasing costs, currency fluctuations, the wavering economic climate, and the actual climate as loss-related factors — last fall's unusually warm weather dented H&M's numbers because markdowns were necessary on colder weather clothing. A similar downturn is expected to affect the early months of the current financial year thanks to the warm winter season that's followed.

The website still states in Bold letters "FREE! Local and long distance calls"
I did the live chat to get explanations, and was told that conference line, or platform, are charged. I did ask at what rate, they do not have that information. I would have to pay a block of $10, $20, etc into my account and only then I will receive a recorded message stating how many minutes I can talk the that particular phone number that is not compatible with the Magic Jack system.
Total false advertisement, this did not exist 4 or 5 years ago when i subscribed to Magic Jack. All of a sudden this gets implemented. I would not recommend this service to anyone anymore. I will simply let my service expire in a few months and not bother to renew it anymore.
Most of my calls are to corporations in the US, and I am assuming they use some sort of computer/network phone lines. Most of my calls are now being rejected by that above message to buy prepaid minutes.
Buyer Beware, Its not FREE

Washington, DC 20016
Each year, thousands of young adults choose Israel Outdoors for their Birthright Israel Gift because we're adventurous, open-minded, fun, and energetic - just like them.
When you join an Israel Outdoors trip, you get the unique opportunity to discover more about yourself, your past, and maybe even your future. You'll experience the phenomenal beauty of Israel, from the vast canyons of the Judean desert, the green hills of the Galilee, the picturesque Mediterranean coast, cosmopolitan Tel Aviv, ancient Jerusalem - and everything in between.
And because Israel Outdoors is unaffiliated and 100% pluralistic, you'll be encouraged to form your own thoughts and take home what you want from the experience.
Our trips have been described in many ways by our alumni, from "amazing" to "moving" to "inspiring" to "eye-opening." We know that each trip will mean something different for each of you, and we are passionate about creating the ideal travel environment for you to explore new perspectives, bond with new friends, and challenge yourself along the way.
So that you can get the most out of your time in Israel, we offer several ways for you to experience your Gift, from our traditional Israel Quest journey, to our active Israel by Foot and Israel by Bike programs. In addition, we offer campus, community, and specialty trips – there's truly something for everyone.
Your adventure is waiting at www.israeloutdoors.com
Israel Outdoors - The Right Choice from Israel Outdoors on Vimeo.
The vision of Israel Outdoors is to share the beauty and wonder of Israel with Jewish young adults of all interests and backgrounds through an enlightening and enriching experience. Our travel programs are specially crafted to provide significant, dynamic experiences for our participants that will last long beyond the 10 days.
We recognize that each participant on our trip will take home personal and special perspectives that will be unique to their own understanding of the world; we also understand that part of that powerful insight is gained through the shared, collective connections that they will build with their peers, their staff, and Israel. Our passion is to provide a safe and welcoming environment to make this happen.
We believe that experiencing Israel through physical activities such as hiking and biking can provide a truly exceptional way to connect to the land. From the breathtaking heights of Masada, the beaches of the Mediterranean, the forests of Jerusalem, and the canyons of the Negev – each setting provides a meaningful and profound way to understand the history of this country and its People.
Israel Outdoors offers different ways for our participants to experience their Birthright Israel gift. Whether through traditional touring, by bike, or by foot, our experiences are unified by our commitment to provide enriching encounters with the Land, history, and People of Israel.
Tlalim Incoming Tourism to Israel – and its international brand Authentic Israel, is an Israel-based travel program provider with three decades of leadership in the field of experiential travel. Israel Outdoors is a principal element of our family of brands and represents our commitment to safe, active, and trustworthy experiential travel in Israel.
We partner with synagogues, schools, youth and community-based organizations, and families to share the splendor of the Birthright Israel experience. Participants choose Tlalim-Authentic Israel for our flexible and open-minded approach, fair pricing, knowledgeable guides, and phenomenal customer service.
In addition, Authentic Israel offers a series of experiential travel programs that are open to the public, including specialized curricula for teens, college students, young adults, families, and adults 55+.
We are also involved in activities in Israel diverse as multi-media entertainment, instructional education, and technology.
We are proud of our ability to positively impact the future of the Jewish People by providing enriching, educational Israel and Jewish experiences.
The core of all Israel Outdoors experiences is our vibrant, engaging staff. Each trip team is comprised of North American and Israeli staff members, as well as a licensed Israeli guide who serves as the group's leader.
We choose guides based on their dynamic personalities, depth of knowledge, and ability to connect with young adults. Our Israeli and North American staff are chosen on a highly selective basis according to their leadership skills, background in Israel, and general experience. Their breadth of experience, education and passion for Israel helps set the right tone for the trip and provides our participants with a valuable and eye-opening experience.
Each trip is also accompanied by a licensed medic/guard who is focused on the safety of the group, as well as an Israeli bus driver who is responsible for getting us around – and adding a bit of color to the experience! Finally, we use a team of "field staff" whose job it is to visit the groups periodically and provide additional support if a participant needs special medical attention or other in-depth care. This unique structure allows us to maximize the experience by ensuring that all elements of each trip are thoroughly and professionally handled – from education, to safety, to logistics, to enrichment, our team has it covered.
Most importantly, we carefully select team members for their wide-ranging experience and varied Jewish backgrounds. The diversity of our staff mirrors the diversity of our participants – which makes for an especially powerful collective experience.

D40 Help - no clue what happened....
i have a D40 and been taking pictures for over a year. never had problems....all of a sudden i get a message on the camera that the "subject is too dark" and the camera will not take the pic. when i switch to manual focus the camera will take the pic. when i look through the viewfinder i see a little black flashing dot on the bottom left hand side. i did not intentionally reset any settings, etc....would really appreciate any help.
#1. "RE: D40 Help - no clue what happened...." | In response to Reply # 0MEMcD Nikonian since 24th Dec 2007Fri 31-Dec-10 03:33 AM
Hi Joseph,
Welcome to Nikonians!
What exposure mode are you using?
Did you recently change the ISO from Auto to a specific ISO setting?
When the subject is too dark the Lo message appears in the viewfinder.
The causes is the ambient light level is beyond the range of your current settings (Shutter Speed, Aperture (f/#), and ISO) to provide a correct exposure.
To correct the problem:
• Choose higher ISO sensitivity.
• Decrease the shutter speed.
• Choose larger aperture (smaller f/-number).
The black dot in the lower left corner of the viewfinder display is the in focus indicator.
Good Luck and Enjoy your Nikons!
Best Regards,

One of the men charged in the shooting death of a Lackawanna College student last year pleaded guilty Friday.
Marlon Clotter, 22, entered a guilty plea to one count of conspiracy to commit aggravated assault before Lackawanna County Judge Carmen Minora.
In exchange for his guilty plea, prosecutors dropped first- and third-degree murder charges, as well as related conspiracy charges. Prosecutors also agreed to seek a minimum sentence of seven years in prison. The maximum sentence Mr. Clotter faces is 20 years in prison.
Police said Ryan Harding, at the urging of Mr. Clotter, shot Rahsan Crowder, in Scranton's Hill Section on May 5, 2013.
Mr. Crowder was with friends when he walked past a group on the 700 block of Vine Street, including Mr. Harding and Mr. Clotter. After a verbal altercation, Mr. Harding pulled out a gun.
Mr. Harding shot Mr. Crowder in the thigh and then, at Mr. Clotter's urging, shot him again in the chest, according to police.
"Shoot it! Let him know it's not fake," Mr. Clotter said, according to a criminal complaint. Mr. Harding is scheduled for trial in August.
After the hearing Friday, Deputy District Attorney Shane Scanlon offered limited comment, citing Mr. Harding's upcoming trial.
"It's a plea that we thought was appropriate for Clotter, based upon the evidence," Mr. Scanlon said. "It's something that the victim's family understands and is OK with and we would be happy to expound upon the rationale at the conclusion of Harding's case."

I had just got home from work when a couple young men showed up at my door with the 'your neighbor just bought this great meat package and wanted her neighbors to get the same great deal'......Wow, when I said I didnt have the money, they dropped the price. I ended up spending 400.00 for both steak and chicken packages. A couple nights after that, my husband cooks the chicken and we were a bit disappointed in the taste and my son ended up with some stomach issues. We didnt try anything again for a few weeks later and then tried the steaks and on top of the fact that it was tough, gritty and small, we all ended up with stomach issues for the next couple days. It was at that time we figured out the common denominator in all of us getting sick was the meat!!!!! I pulled out the receipt to find out the '1 year guarantee' does not cover getting a refund of money, but to just get replacement meat.....why would I want to replace bad meat with more bad meat????? I cant recover any of my money but I can at least warn other people to not buy meat from the back of a truck, saying it outloud sounds crazy, but yes DONT BUY MEAT FROM THE BACK OF A TRUCK!

Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

The radula of Patella limpets has cutting tips that incorporate magnetite crystals and silicon dioxide.
"Another mollusk, the limpet Patella, backs the magnetite cutting tips of its radula with silicon dioxide (Runham et al. 1969). Incidentally, mollusks renew their radulas from the back as they wear near the front much the way elephants renew their teeth." (Vogel 2003:333)
"Most classes in the phylum of the Mollusca possess a radula, a flexible ribbon, located in the mouth cavity, on which are implanted several tens of transverse rows of teeth. The radula is used as a rasp during feeding of organisms living on rocky substrates. Through the continuous growth of the radular ribbon new rows of teeth steadily enter into the wearing zone, while at the same rate teeth in the last row break loose from the ribbon. The enhanced erosive capability of the radula is due to the presence of teeth with an upright standing, hard, mineralized cusp." (van der Wal et al. 2000)

Patella vulgata
Patella vulgata, common name the common limpet or common European limpet[2] is an edible species of sea snail with gills, a typical true limpet, a marine gastropod mollusc in the family Patellidae. [1]
This species is found in the waters of western Europe.[3]
The radula in this species is longer than the shell itself. It contains 1,920 teeth in 160 rows of 12 teeth each. It is found attached to firm substrates from the high shore to the edge of the sublittoral zone, although it predominates in areas of wave action. Its shell is conical, up to around 6 cm long, and lacks defined chirality. Common limpets are believed to be able to live for up to twenty years.[4]
Patella vulgata has been the focus of a range of scientific investigation, as far back as 1935.[5] Its development is well described[6] and it has recently been the focus of transcriptomic investigation, providing a range of genomic sequence data in this species for analysis.[7]
Their teeth are the strongest natural material known. A study published in the Royal Society journal in 2015 concluded that "the tensile strength of limpet teeth can reach values significantly higher than spider silk, considered to be currently the strongest biological material, and only comparable to the strongest commercial carbon fibres." The material was able to withstand 4.9 GPa. This considerable tensile strength of limpet teeth is attributed to a high mineral volume fraction of reinforcing goethite nanofibres.[8][9][10][11][12]

By Mrs. Melissa K Buckley (Leonard Wood)December 6, 2012
FORT LEONARD WOOD, Miss. (Dec. 6, 2012) -- When Hurricane Sandy hit the Northeastern United States in late October, Soldiers from Fort Leonard Wood answered the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers call for help.
In all, 30 Fort Leonard Wood Soldiers, 26 Engineers and four Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear Soldiers, dropped what they were doing on post and volunteered their Army expertise to help the people left distressed in the hurricane's aftermath.
Capt. Jonathan Olbert, U.S. Army Engineer Captains' Career Course student, was supposed to start class on Nov. 2, but when he heard the East Coast's cry for help he knew he had to go. He worked with the Philadelphia Operations Center for two weeks.
"I was part of the Defense CBRN Response Force mission in my old unit. It's a unit that would respond to natural or manmade disaster where a great number of people were affected. I knew if I didn't man-up at a time like this it would say something negative about my character. I was more than willing to give up my Captains' Career Course position to respond to help Americans in a time of need," Olbert said.
His mission was to support USACE in tracking and coordinating efforts to make sure all the assets needed were deployed to the field, while providing commanders with up to the minute information in order to help them make educated decisions.
"Most of the personnel that we worked with are USACE employees. We provided the battle tracking. Many of them don't have an emergency mentality; they are not at a heightened state of awareness. We provided the communication between the employees and the high level commanders. We maintained a constant flow of information. Most of us have been on missions where we have to track personnel, equipment and the status of the operation. That's exactly what we did on the East Coast," Olbert said.
His Army training helped him facilitate getting power back to hospitals, elderly care facilities, wastewater operations and gas stations.
Olbert said his team pulled long shifts and ate poorly because they were so focused on getting work done, but it was worth it.
"Communication was poor when we got there, so the guys we sent out were working 20-hour days while taking naps in their vans. It was a team effort," Olbert said. "No matter how inconvenienced we might have been by leaving our Families or losing a school position, it was nothing compared to the people we were there to serve. They lost their homes; they had no power or food. Some of them didn't even know what was going on. That's frightening for them. To help them out and provide comfort to American citizens in a time of need is our duty."
Olbert was most impacted by the devastation he witnessed in New Jersey.
"I saw some government assisted living where about 170 families were without power with flooded basements and living in unsanitary conditions. They didn't have money to store up food, and it was getting cold, so we were looking at a situation where a lot of people in a concentrated area were in desperate need for our help," Olbert said. "I saw areas where barrier islands had whole sections completely breached and washed away. Sections of 30 or so houses just disappeared as they were washed into the main bay and entire strips of island were left cut-off from the world. Through our efforts we were able to bring roughly 5,000 truckloads of sand in about 18 hours to bridge a gap, allowing emergency crews to get to the isolated areas. The Nor'easter was coming and we had to access the damage quickly to get assets out there."
Another volunteer, Capt. John Peters, Company A, 84th Chemical Battalion commander, worked in several areas around New York to include Brooklyn, Queens, Staten Island and Long Island during the first two weeks of November.
"I was assigned to the USACE Task Force Debris. I operated as a Hazardous Materials subject matter expert as well as assisting in setting up and operating Temporary Storage Sites," Peters said.
The TSSs were used as a temporary staging area for debris that had been cleared from roads, beaches and other public spaces. From the TSS, the debris was off loaded onto a barge to be taken to a landfill.
According to USACE, as of Nov. 13, crews had cleared about 20,680 cubic yards of debris from storm-damaged areas.
"I volunteered because there are not many opportunities for active-duty Soldiers to get to help out in disaster recovery operations helping American citizens. The USACE is the only organization in the Department of Defense with an assignment in the National Response Framework," Peters said. "Being attached to USACE allowed us to help them in their mission of debris removal."
Peters described the level of destruction he witnessed as widespread. While traveling between the different debris sites he saw hundreds of houses every day completely destroyed.
"I was on an aerial survey that lasted for two hours and saw miles and miles of destruction. That was when I realized how much destruction a storm that wasn't even a CAT 1 hurricane could do. In every load of debris I saw some Families' personal life being thrown away. I saw photos, photo albums, furniture, and clothes. I saw houses that had been moved 20 feet off their foundations. There were cars completely covered in mud and debris on the inside," Peters said.
Many of the homeowners and workers weren't wearing any protective gear while handling the debris. Peters tried to educate the civilians about the chemical hazards they were coming into contact with. He was pleased to see that the longer he was there, the more people he saw wearing masks and gloves.
Peters said he is grateful that the U.S. Army CBRN Captains' Career Course taught him about the National Response Framework, the National Incident Management System and hazardous materials.
"The training enabled me to quickly integrate myself into the response effort. It helped me understand the different roles and responsibilities of the local, state and federal agencies I was working with on a daily basis," he said.
Two more Fort Leonard Wood Soldiers worked on the Joint Task Force Unwatering, one of them was Capt. Keith Alaniz, 169th Engineer Battalion, S3 Operations.
"Capt. (Kimberly) Jung and myself were battle captains for Joint Task Force Unwatering. We were initially located in Battery Park, Manhattan and then moved to the USACE New York District Headquarters at 26 Federal Plaza once major pumping operations came to a close," Alaniz said.
They were responsible for reporting to the New York City Office of Emergency Management, USACE North Atlantic Division and USACE Headquarters.
"I was fortunate to have had experience working with USACE during my last deployment. This allowed me to 'speak the language' and understand project management and contracting. My preparation for the professional engineer exam was invaluable. Little did I know while studying that I would be using pump and work rate calculations during the largest unwatering operation in history," Alaniz said.
Alaniz said volunteering was an easy decision for him because he had Family affected by the hurricane and he was eager to put his Army knowledge to work.
"My sister lives in New York City and had been stranded on Manhattan since the hurricane hit," Alaniz said. "I had just completed my professional engineer exam the week earlier and when I heard they were sending captains to New York to help, I jumped at the opportunity. I also thought that after six months of studying for the professional engineer exam, this would be a great way to apply my skills to help U.S. citizens."
He was touched by the response his team got from the people they were helping.
"The gratitude that the people of New York City showed was overwhelming. They truly appreciated us coming to help. Also, on a personal note, I know my sister was grateful that one of the tunnels to Brooklyn was finally unwatered and allowed her to go home," Alaniz said.
Also working with Alaniz for two weeks was Capt. Kimberly Jung, 1st Engineer Brigade, S3 Operations assistant. Jung said the first few days were tough.
"It was a bit eerie because there was no power in that area of Manhattan except for our own generators powering the trailers but soon Manhattan got back on its feet," Jung said. "There was even some partnership involved between USACE and New York City. We would have a few pumps on Governor's Island pumping the Brooklyn Battery Tunnel, while on the Manhattan side of the tunnel the Metropolitan Transit Authority would have their pumps."
Jung worked with 18 inch and 12 inch pumps and anywhere from five to 15 pumps were at each of their 13 sites; Brooklyn Battery Tunnel, Montague Tunnel, Amtrak, 14th Street-Canarsie, Queens Midtown Tunnel, 53rd Street, World Trade Center and Metropolitan Avenue Bridge. The pumps were rated at 8,000 gallons per minute.
Jung said it was a pleasure to be able to help out even if it was hard work.
"It is their homes and neighborhoods that must be cleaned up and subway systems that people rely on every day to go to work that must be de-flooded. I hope the people of New York know that there are some really tough-minded people who worked extremely hard and didn't sleep for several days in order to get the subways and tunnels back on track."
She was amazed by the resiliency of New Yorkers.
"One day I saw dark, empty sky rises and a week later a normal bustling work day full of people in Wall Street," Jung said.
Jung was also impressed by the generosity of New Yorkers.
"We didn't have food for the first few days. Some nice business or organizations made sure to send us coffee in the mornings and big Italian dinners," Jung said.

PORTSMOUTH — Police are looking for a man who broke into a Lafayette Road electronics store early Sunday morning and stole computer tablets and other merchandise.
The burglary occurred at approximately 5:30 a.m. on Sunday. Police responded to an alarm at the Mac Edge Store located in the Bowl-a-rama Plaza, 599 Lafayette Road.
Police have clear surveillance photos of the suspect, a white man wearing a hood. He wore gloves and used a pry bar to force his way into a vacant store next door and then broke through a common wall to get inside the Mac Edge Store.
Once inside, the man removed computer tablets and other merchandise before fleeing the scene in a white Dodge Caravan. In addition to clear surveillance photos of the suspect, there is also a clear shot of the van.
The suspect may have recently purchased the work gloves and hood seen in the surveillance photo along with a pry bar. Anybody with information about such a purchase is encouraged to call.
If you have any information concerning this incident, please contact Detective Sgt. John Peracchi at 603-610-77432.
You can also contact Seacoast Crime Stoppers by leaving an anonymous tip at 603-431-1199 or at seacoastcrimestoppers.org. You can also text your tip to CRIMES (274637) with the letters "TIPSCS" and leave your tip that way. If your tip leads to an arrest or indictment of the individual you could receive a cash reward of up to $1,000.

Digital TV with Klear
If you are weary of configuration battles with software for digital TV, try Klear, a TV system for Linux that is easy to install and use.
Digital TV on Linux is commonly associated with time-consuming installation procedures. Setting up MythTV is a challenging experience, and the alternative VDR system is anything but trivial – unless you happen to use a specialized distribution such as LinVDR, that is.
Klear [1] is a GUI-based program that makes it much easier to play and record DVB programs. The program was written by Patric Bico Sherif, Omar El-Dakhloul, Manuel Habermann, and Marco Kraus at the Technical University in Berlin as part of a course in programming. Klear uses the Qt toolkit to provide a GUI and assumes a working DVB subsystem, although most current kernels should support DVB hardware without any trouble. The DVB-S/ T/ C devices sections on the LinuxTV wiki [2] tell you which PCI cards and DVB USB sticks are supported by Linux.

Gollum was pitiable, but he ended in persistent wickedness, and the fact that this worked good was no credit to him. His marvellous courage and endurance, as great as Frodo and Sam's or greater, being devoted to evil was portentous, but not honourable. I am afraid, whatever our beliefs, we have to face the fact that there are persons who yield to temptation, reject their chances of nobility or salvation, and appear to be 'damnable' ... The domination of the Ring was much too strong for the mean soul of Smeagol. But he would have never had to endure it if he had not become a mean sort of thief before it crossed his path... he weakened himself for the final chance when dawning love of Frodo was too easily withered by the jealousy of Sam before Shelob's lair. After that he was lost.
I think Smeagol/Gollum is a dual being, that's why he has 2 names...

TROY, Ala. (AP) - The Congressional papers of retiring eight-term U.S. Representative Terry Everett will be stored at Troy University's Dothan campus.
In 1999, the Rehobeth Republican agreed to house his documents at the school's Archives of Wiregrass History and Culture.
Troy officials said in a statement Tuesday, the first documents arrived in 2002 and now total 170 boxes. Everett's work in Washington, D.C. covers a period from 1993 to 2006.
School officials said the documents won't be available for review and research until next January.
