Residents return old, unused prescriptions during Drug Disposal Day
by Karen Franklin
BECKLEY - Students at a Beckley pharmacy received bagfuls of unwanted or expired medications turned in by members of the community Monday.
The prescription take-back was a part of Drug Disposal Day, which also aims to educate the public about ways to dispose of their medications at home.
"A lot of people think they can just flush their medications down the commode, or, you know, put it in our water system, and they're not aware that trace amounts of that is staying in our water system," said West Virginia University pharmacy student Julie Brown, who graduates in May.
Instead, she said, pills can be wet and put in kitty litter or coffee grounds.
The students were handed Ziploc bags filled with multiple pill types, boxes of expired medications and large amounts of sample prescriptions from doctors' offices. Inhalers were also common because they're medications used as needed by asthma patients.
Personal information on the medications will be removed and shredded. The pills or liquids will be disposed of later.
"It's nice not to keep these drugs stockpiled around your home because people may see them -- especially if you have a lot. So it might deter some drug theft," Brown said.
Beckley resident William White brought his medications in because his doctor changed his prescription.
"Keeping it out of hands of people that want it or don't need it," he told WOAY.
Controlled substances, which are medications regulated by the government and that have the potential for abuse, were not accepted Monday. A drug take-back of those substances requires a law enforcement officer present.
The pharmacy students told WOAY they expected to get at least 25 to 30 residents to come in. Anyone who missed the event can find a year-round drop off location.

I join with Gahanna Mayor Becky Stinchcomb, Reynoldsburg Mayor Brad McCloud and Bexley Mayor Ben Kessler in thanking state Sen. Kevin Bacon of Minerva Park and Rep. Anne Gonzales of Westerville for championing our cities' proposal for the Multi-Jurisdictional Fiber Utility Project, submitted for the State Capital Improvement Budget.
The plan is to create a regional, community-based, high-capacity fiber-optic utility by installing more than 34 miles of new dark fiber covering six jurisdictions within Franklin County. The construction of this dark fiber-optic network will empower the cities to aggressively attract and retain businesses and help them to expand, and the network will be a crucial driver of the region's future economic development.
We are proud that the Columbus Partnership has listed the project as one of its top funding priorities for the budget.
We know there is much more work to be done to turn this proposed budget into law, and we know that with Bacon and Gonzales' continued support, we will get the job done.

The Belgian Post Office Released 538,000 Chocolate Stamps That Are Supposed To Taste Like Chocolate When You Lick Them
One of those things I know I hate doing is licking stamps. It's one of the weirdest feelings, and tastes in the world. I personally hate it. However, maybe someone should update stamp technology. The Belgian Post Office decided to enter 2013 in style, they have released over 538,000 Chocolate stamps that look like chocolate, and taste like chocolate, in time for Easter.

I don't blog. I have a blog, and it hasn't been updated in over a year. Maybe I should change that. Or maybe I could just focus on the current task at hand – trying to blog about doing things I've never done. Thankfully I have many wonderful ladies to help me out.
Up until, oh, now, my solution to a problem – whether it be a manual task that I don't know how to do, or trying to formulate the right words for a letter – has resulted in one simple word: MOM! I pretty much only know how to make boxed macaroni and cheese and asparagus. I've successfully made 1 baked potato (albeit the cheater way – in the microwave), and have ruined all the rest. I even managed to ruin hamburger helper. Seriously…how does one do that?! (the answer, if you're wondering, is by not thawing the meat before I stuck it on the skillet)
I know that I will pretty much always live near my parents (well, that is as soon as I move out from under their roof!), but I want to be able to fend for myself even while mom is just in the next room over. Maybe I'll even get to teach her something new (probably not, but you never know). I already managed to teach her that, apparently, this book is found in the woodworking section at our local Border's…that was unexpected. Hope that doesn't mean I'll have to pull out all the power tools and create a spice rack or something (no, I haven't read all the chapter titles yet, so feel free to laugh at me loudly if there happens to be some woodworking involved in this project!).
I wish one of the topics were "how to make a bassoon reed" or "how to play the bassoon" because I'd be a master at that. I'm also a master at using a television remote. But sadly, none of those things are something our grandmothers could do, so I guess I'm stuck with learning something new😉
I'm excited for this chance to expand my horizons as far as what I can do. But this is your fair warning that you might not hear from me for everything (though I hope I learn to change that aspect of my skill set as well).
(and also, if you noticed, my little intro post's picture is not near as awesome as my friends'. I had all the plans in the world to make it all artistic and stuff, but my camera battery is dead and I am too lazy to recharge it. Just like I'm too lazy to do much of anything else…hopefully until now)

The Times, They are A-Changing... again
I recently came across this item -- and noted with interest the claim that Air China is now the "world's most valuable carrier." I've never heard that term before. Does anyone know how this is calculated? It does show however, that the world is rapidly changing and there is a new world power for the west to contend with. How will it all play out? Historically, those with The Power do not relinquish it easily...
Air China open to mergers with rival carriers.
Air China, now the world's most valuable carrier, will consider the option of merging with other Chinese airlines, including China Southern Airlines, if the opportunity arises. Air China is examining a possible restructuring of the sector as competition from foreign airlines and newly arisen local carriers is growing following the opening of China's civil aviation market. Beijing is restructuring state-owned companies and the number of central government-controlled firms will fall sharply in coming years as they adapt to market changes and fend off competition. Air China's rivals include Shanghai Airlines, Shenzhen Airlines and Hainan Airlines.

Compton Drive-In
2111 E. Rosecrans Avenue,
4 people favorited this theater
Showing 1 - 25 of 27 comments
The Fiesta Four Drive-In, opened in 1949 as the Whittier Drive-In, was actually in Pico Rivera, a few miles south of El Monte.
Such a beautiful drive in…I was shocked when they razed the El Monte Fiesta Drive-in back in the late 90s.
Circa 1951 photo added featuring Sam Barris' `49 Mercury custom next to the Compton sign.
Charles Phoenix wrote recently about his all-too-brief encounter with the Compton Drive-In.
Uploaded some Goggle Earth views.
This place is one of my earliest memories as a child. We lived in Lynwood and would pass by this place on the way to Paramount on the weekends. It was a magnificent structure that I still remember almost 40 years later. Compton and El Monte had my favorite screen tower murals.
That's a huge empty lot at that address now.
Here is an August 1973 ad:
Here are some additional photos:
Here is a January 1958 ad from the LA Times:
The really sad thing is that every single theater in ken mc's post(except the Paramount which is now the El Capitan)is gone and no longer running movies full time. The Orpheum is still open but almost 100% live shows now. Also, Rooney actually made a number of action films including "Ambush Bay", "Pulp", "The Secret Invasion", "The Domino Principle", etc.
Here is a 1982 photo:
And you can also see that "Sleeping Beauty" was playing over at the Fox Wilshire Theatre in 70MM.
He was the mini-Vin Diesel back then, I guess.
Mickey Rooney action film? Those are two things you don't hear together everyday.
Here is a January 1959 ad for a Mickey Rooney action film, showing at the Compton. Click on the ad to zoom in.
This drive-in was in the documentary "Drive-In Movie Memories" in 2001.
One of at least two classic basketball films released in that year, along with "The Fish that Saved Pittsburgh".
Here is a 1979 photo:
Here is a March 1980 ad from the LA Times:
The Compton Drive in is now gone. 65 beautiful home are now locaed on the back ¾ of the lot. I am one of the lucky new homeowners. The entire property was bought by a local church which held on to it for several years. The back ¾ lot was sold to Lennar Homes for development and the 65 homes built opened up begining in August 2005, with the last phase to be completed in Summer, 2006. The front ¼ lot is still owned by this local church which plans to develop it as their new church site/community center in Fall, 2006.
From socaldriveins.com:
My parents lived in Lynwood about a mile away from the Compton Drive-in back in the early 70's. One of my first childhood memories was driving with my parents on Rosecrans Ave. and seeing this amazing screen tower with Viking ships painted on it. I use to wonder what was behind the glass windows at the base of the screen tower. Just like everything else in life, I assumed it would be there forever and never returned after we moved from the area in 1977. I drove by in May of 2005 and saw that several houses were being built on the former site of the drive-in. I found a great picture of the screen tower in a book titled "Southern Californialand" by Charles Phoenix. Check it out and enjoy, they just don't make them like that anymore.
I am looking for photos or items from the Compton Drive-In. I noticed that the message above from DARIA said that she had some photos from before it's demolition. Daria, if you can make me an extra set of photos, I would gladly pay you for them. Anyone else who has any photos or items from the Compton Drive-In, please get in touch with me. My e-mail is Thanks!
Justin Kudolla
I was never fond of the Compton Drive-in, even in the relatively peaceful latter part of the 1960s. They had a penchant for showing what was considered more "adult" fair—-meaning movies with the now long-defunct "M" rating. The last films I recall seeing there were "The Illustrated Man" and "The Oblong Box," both of which kept me awake at night for weeks afterward. I was always fond of the Vikings depicted on the screen tower and the cute little Pacific Theaters office out front, though. I have photos of it from shortly before the demolishing, sadly showing how faded the paint had become and the vandalism (a large, ugly stain or two across the artwork). In its day, the screen tower was one of only 2 tall edifices in the city of Compton, long before the 12 story courthouse was built a few miles away. The Compton could easily be seen all the way from the 91 Fwy; it was missing it from that vista one day that signaled to me that yet another classic screen had bitten the dust.

Bluegrass at the Fair - Colorado's long running bluegrass festival
Each year, along with great entertainment (we have some fabulous Colorado bluegrass bands that you're going to love), Pueblo's Bluegrass at the Fair offers some of the best campground jamming. Last year's festival was a great success and we donated a significant chunk of money to the Pediatric Pulmonary Hypertension Association, thanks to you. We were lucky enough to see a steady stream of new faces, along with a solid core of regulars who return year after year to Pueblo. It has become a meeting place for friends traveling from all over to enjoy music, jam late into the night, and take in some great band performances. Damian and Tom, plus all of Fireweed Bluegrass Band, are your gracious hosts for this long-running music festival. Welcome.
Most of the photographs on this site were donated to us by Tom Stuart.

I have been thinking about cutting down the number of nursing sessions for DD. She will be 9 months in 1 week. She is so distracted no matter what I do and doesn't seem to be very interested in nursing most of the time. This is her schedule now:
7:30a wake nurse
9a nap
9:45 wake nurse
11:30 nurse (only sometimes)
12:30 20 min. nap on the way to Gma house
1:30 nurse
2-4 nap
4p 3-4 oz EBM
7p nurse after we get home
8p nurse to sleep (only sometimes)
12a nurse
2:30-3a 2 oz bottle from DH
5:30-6a nurse
So after all of that my question is, If I nurse her 4-5 times a day would I need to supplement her with formula? I was thinking of keeping the first am, 1:30p, 8p and one or two of the over night nursing. And if I did have to supplement her does anyone know how much she would need?

- First stop for horse racing punters
- Better welcome bonuses compared to most online bookmakers
- Live streaming service for in-play
- A global bookmaker with an impeccable reputation
- One of few UK bookmakers present on the London Stock Exchange
Sportingbet is recommended for couple of basic reasons: the variety of bets and the excellent in-play betting service. The amazing thing is that this bookmaker has managed to grow so much in just a short period. Today Sportingbet thrives all over the world and provides localised web-site intended for an easier use by punters from different nations. The result is a global bookmaker with a solid range of sport markets to choose from. It simply covers all the important aspects of being a respected online bookmaker. Sportingbet offers great odds and a variety of markets to bet on.
This premium sportsbook houses one of the best welcome offers on the web, offering no less than £100 in Free Bets to all new customers. You have 30 days to claim four free bets, each of them worth up to £25.
Background & License
Since it was launched in 1998 Sportingbet has become one of the leading online sports betting providers. Today Sportingbet operates in over 25 countries and has over seven hundred thousand active customers worldwide. Sportingbet is one of the biggest bookmakers online with a tremendous presence in the UK and all across Europe, and has made a particularly strong market penetration in other European countries, like Belgium, Turkey, Germany etc, and thus has managed to be one of those big UK bookmakers present on the London Stock Exchange.
It made a quick growth in the following years since its launch in 1998 thanks to the strategic positioning in various parts of the world. Sport betting is massive at Sportingbet, where 8,000 different betting opportunities come across 30 different sports every day. The licence of Sportingbet was issued in Antigua and Barbuda.
Free Bet & Promotions
Sportingbet has one welcome offer that you will hardly see at other bookmarks. As an incentive to register and become a valued member of the Sportingbet experience, new users receive £50 risk free bet. It is simple, you become eligible for the promo free bet by opening an account through Sportingbet's web-site and by placing a sports bet at 1.50 or greater in your first seven days as a member. If you want to place a multiple bet, each selection for each bet needs to be greater than 1.5. If your bet is lost, Sportingbet will refund it as a free bet up to £50. But bear in mind that deposits made via Skrill, Neteller or Paysafecard are not eligible for the promotion, and it is only valid for customers from United Kingdom and Ireland.
In order to attract more active punter base, Sportingbet employs a rewards program with which punters can benefit from their sports betting activity at the web-site. There are ten levels to go through, and each brings its own benefits, for example, at level one you get 10 free spins at the casino page, at level five you get £50 as reward, and if you manage to reach level ten, then you'll receive a generous reward of £2,500.
Betting Coverage & Odds
Sportingbet's prices are competitive, something that comes naturally when being a bookmaker with the goal to be the leader on the market. Sportingbet does not have a reputation for fantastic odds, but they are more than satisfactory. It has a strong in-play offering and market coverage, but the football prices do not really standout. Around twenty-five sports are covered at any given time at Sportingbet, and the betting opportunities are wide enough for the majority of punters. Sportingbet has excellent coverage of European basketball and actually it is sponsor of the Euroleague competition.
Sportingbet offers a satisfactory variety for football betting, including football leagues like Premier League and all of the lower tiers of professional football in England (Championship, League 2, Conferences etc), Bundesliga, Primera Division, Seria, Ligue 1, Super Lig, UEFA competitions like the Champions League and Europa League, but also more obscure ones including the Algerian, Egyptian, Moroccan football leagues etc. Generally the football range is excellent with a particular focus on the UK football competitions. If you want to bet on a Premiere League match, you can typically choose between eighty or more various selections.
Horse Racing
Sportingbet is a must have bookie for horse racing punters. It offers best totes and some top free bet promotions for both new and existing punters. It's hard to go past Sportingbet if you are looking for a bookmaker with plenty to offer for horse racing. Sportingbet has odds on all major racing fixtures and offers online betting prices on all the UK and Ireland racing events. There are jockey challenges on selected race meetings too. Sportingbet offers all the race betting options that one could ask for including place, exacta, quinella, trifecta, first 4, all up multi, doubles, trebles, quaddie, win 6, parlay etc.
Live In-Play Betting
There are over 300 markets to bet on in the live betting platform. Live betting at Sportingbet is available 24 hours and punters can be in tune with all sporting events around the world at all times. There are extensive live tennis betting markets on all major matches and all the upcoming in-play events on your favourite sports are listed in the in-play betting calendar. The in-play section may be a bit slower than at other bookmakers, but there's no denying that it is one of the finest live betting offerings.
Deposit & Withdrawals
Sportingbet offers multiple deposit methods including credit/debit cards, e-wallets and bank wire transfers. They accept Visa credit/debit cards, Mastercard credit cards and Switch, Maestro and Laser. From e-wallets Sportingbet offers Neteller, Click2Pay, Skrill, PayPal, but also prepaid cards like UKash and Paysafecard. If you choose Neteller as your payment method you can deposit in US Dollars, Pounds Sterling, or Euros, while on withdrawal you can select between USD, GBP, CAD or EUR. If you used credit/debit card as a depositing method, all withdrawals will be sent via the same method as default. Bank wire transfers intended for non-UK residents feature withdrawals in around 13 currencies.
Customer Service & Security
The customer service provided by Sportingbet includes excellent 24/7 assistance to punters around the world, via email, live chat, and telephone. Usually there is a massive amount of members that are being serviced each day and thus the customer service team may seem to be in a hurry, but it is still friendly, responsive and helpful.
By registering users enter personal information into the web-site that may contain financial sensitive details, such as credit card numbers etc. That kind of information is encrypted with the best encryption software in the industry today, the SSL encryption technology used by financial institutions. While the SSL technology is used to protect sensitive information online, Sportingbet does everything in its power to protect users' details offline too. All info regarded as sensitive is restricted in Sportingbet's offices and only employees who need it to perform their job are granted access to it.
Sportingbet performs highly across the board in general. There are several other top bookmakers online with whom it can easily compete and after only few days as a member it becomes clear that that this is one of the better operators when it comes to live betting. The site offers a good range of payment methods and a very strong betting selection. The lavish welcome bonus for new punters and the low turnover requirements are regarded as a positive feature, while horse race enthusiasts will love the selection offered for horse racing markets. Sportingbet is a great bookmaker and is particularly recommended to serious punters.

Project Serpent (TC) Q&Aposted by Povuholo Mod NewsI had an interview about the TC (Total Conversion) Project Serpent with its leader, Serpent of Shadow. Their official site can be found here and the forums here.
A snippet:QUOTE
Pov: Could you give us a general outline of this project?
SoS: Project Serpent is a total conversion for Oblivion that takes its basis from the Heretic/Hexen game series by Ravensoft. We have created our own world that takes key aspects from the Heretic/Hexengames, allowing us to both satisfying fans of the series as well as create something new. We also offer many new systems of gameplay different from the standard Oblivion ones. It is not a story of good and evil, but of light and dark, and the player can join with either side. If they (the player) play their hand right they can even be in both.
Pov: Could you mention a few of these new gameplay systems?
SoS: Leveling System – We are changing how you level into an experience gain. Kill monsters, complete quests, and certain achievements will award experience which in turn awards a level up.
"Hub" Travel – Each region is it's own worldspace, so it is almost like there are 12 worlds to explore. If you've ever played Hexen or Hexen 2, you will remember that their levels were set up as a "Hub". That is, one level acted as a base, containing portals to multiple levels. Once all of the levels connected to it were completed, you moved on to the next hub. So each of the regions are considered to be Hubs kind of like that, although you are not restricted to solving all the quests before you can leave.
We are also doing some major changes to how you interact with NPCs, more on that to come.
Pov: What is the size of the landmass the mod takes place on?
SoS: We're estimating about 4x as big as Oblivion's Cyrodiil. However, each region is broken apart and can be worked on one at a time. So while each region will be smaller than Cyrodiil (usually), the combined total will be much larger.
Read the entire interview here.

I was using php 5.3 to call a SOAP service that need some custom http header fields. However, when I used HttpRequest to add the headers and send request to the server, the response said the token is invalid. And I used wireshark to sniff the package and found that the token was truncated. It is very possible that the php_http extension has some limitations on the http header fields. Can anyone explain that to me? BTW, I was using php on a windows machine, and I just download the php_http.dll file and made it work. I didn't compile anything from the source code.
Header Field Limitation in HttpRequest?

BARRE — A Burlington man is accused of drunkenly sexually assaulting a woman at an inn in Warren on Jan. 18.
Andrew Barrows, 23, pleaded not guilty to felony sexual assault without consent in Washington County criminal court in Barre Tuesday. If convicted, he faces a maximum sentence of life in prison and a $25,000 fine.
According to the Vermont State Police affidavit, Barrows was helping set up equipment with a band that was playing at the Slide Brook Inn on Jan. 17. After the band played, Barrows and the other band members started drinking.
State police say Barrows went into one of the rooms around 6 a.m. the next morning and penetrated a woman who was asleep. A witness, who was also sleeping in the room, told police she awoke and saw a naked man on top of her friend. The witness yelled and woke her friend up.
The alleged victim said she awoke, screamed when she realized a naked man was on top of her and the man said, "I'm in the wrong room, wrong room" and ran out.
The woman said she locked the door when she went to sleep the previous night and was fully clothed, but awoke with her pants and underwear around her ankles.
The alleged victim admitted to drinking the night before, but police said while alcohol could be smelled on her breath, she did not appear intoxicated and was not slurring her words. She also said she had been introduced to Barrows the previous night, but there was no other interaction between them.
When interviewed by state police, Barrows admitted to being extremely intoxicated on the morning in question, but denied going into any other room but his own and said he did not black out. Barrows submitted to a breath test around 11 a.m. and had a blood alcohol content of .101
Barrows has a previous conviction of driving under the influence in 2009 and three convictions of petit larceny in 2008.MORE IN This Just InBARRE Vermont Foodbank and Uber Vermont today announced the launch of a giving season... Full StoryNational Forest

it would be more usefull as a new suburban, wouldn't it? i meam, the Suburban is the Suv from Silverado, not the tahoe…
December 30th, 2012 at 11:19 pm
Thanks Victorio Lopez.
Not bad, but I'd prefer that GM (and Ford, and everyone else) keep going with the existing big SUVs for as long as possible rather than waste development money on a shrinking and increasingly fleet-oriented niche.

is it LTZ?

That is the way GM should do it. I miss those days where they shared the same front clips and tail lights.

Quick Takes: News You May Have Missed
Hamas in Gaza is said to have rockets capable of reaching just outside Tel Aviv, while Hizbullah possesses Iranian-supplied missiles and rockets that can reach most Israeli population centers.
Nusseibeh, however, denied that he has received any threats over the matter. "I am surprised that people are surprised by what I wrote. There is nothing in Islam that denies the fact that Judaism is one of the religions of the book," he said.
Hamas Slowly Setting Stage
Incidences of Fatah fighters joining Hamas are significant since Hamas's infiltration of Fatah forces in the Gaza Strip was thought to have been the Achilles heel that led to the terror group's takeover in 2007 of the entire Gaza Strip.

Life held nothing promising for Masilamani. Born in the south Indian village of Thirumanickam, he was the son of farmers.
The life of a farmer in India is difficult, and despite their hard labor, Masilamani's family lived a life of extreme poverty.
In such a circumstance, Masilamani could not have dreamed of anything better than carrying plow equipment and accompanying his parents to the fields.
While his sister never got the chance to go to school, Masilamani was fortunate to complete fifth grade. When he was forced to quit school after fifth grade, he accompanied his parents as an agricultural laborer to help provide extra income for the family.
Masilamani didn't go to school for a month, and his life would have continued in that direction if it were not for his teacher, Mrs. Jothimani.
Mrs. Jothimani spoke to Masilamani's father about our program and persuaded him to allow Masilamani to go back to school. She promised that the expenses of his education would be taken care of, and his parents accepted the offer.
After completing high school, Masilamani attended a government higher secondary school to finish twelfth grade. With training and encouragement from our staff, he successfully completed twelfth grade and went on to earn a Bachelor of Science in Mathematics.
Masilamani was the first person in his entire village to complete an undergraduate degree. Nothing stopped his progress; he kept pressing forward because of his sponsors' continued support.
He eventually finished his doctorate in Computer Science at the Indian Institute of Information Technology (IIIT) in Chennai. Now a very successful man, he serves as a professor at IIIT.
Masillamani was supposed to be working in the fields with his father, but the Lord changed his life and destiny.
"I wouldn't have come up to this level had it not been for Compassion. I would have discontinued my studies and would have been working as a farmer. It was the tuition, career guidance, spiritual classes and prayers that transformed my life completely."
Masilamani also expresses his heartfelt gratitude to his sponsors,
"My sponsors used to write letters and encourage me, and they used to send their wishes and gifts for my birthday too. In fact, just like what I am today, my sponsors were professors in New Jersey. I am proud to be a Compassion-sponsored child."

Today, Mayor Hales and I hosted a discussion about the Medicaid expansion that will happen on January 1, 2014, under the Affordable Care Act. Under this expansion, 96,000 people in Multnomah County will be newly eligible for Medicaid or a subsidy to purchase health insurance through the new health care exchange, Cover Oregon.
Oregon Health Authority Director Dr. Bruce Goldberg helped kick off this discussion, which included representatives from Multnomah County, the two new Coordinated Care Organizations in our community, and three service providers: Central City Concern, Volunteers of America, and DePaul Family Services.
The 2014 Medicaid expansion means that our community has the opportunity to take advantage of an infusion of new federal funds that we can use to improve the health of our community and eliminate barriers to accessing health care. For example, this expansion creates the chance to ensure that people who are involved in the criminal justice system and who struggle with mental health and addictions problems can get the care and treatment they need.
By keeping people healthy and out of the criminal justice system, we can save both the City and County resources. Today's discussion was an important first step to doing the planning that we need to do to take advantage of the new federal resources. Today we identified several important questions that we need to answer, and I look forward to continuing to work with all of our safety net partners on this effort.

The boys (along with every other kid in town) become fascinated with a Japanese cartoon, Chinpokomon. In spite of the fact that the show has no discernable plot and the dialogue makes little sense, South Park's kids flock to the toy store to purchase action figures and the Chinpokomon video game.
Kenny suffers a massive seizure while playing the game but the rest of the children all attend a special Chinpokomon camp, where the real reason behind the craze is revealed -- by none other than Emperor Hirohito himself. The kids are being fed military tactics through the toys and games. Soon they will be used as pawns to pilot jets to bomb Pearl Harbor. Whenever any adults get suspicious, the Japanese distract them by telling them how large their American penises are.
In the nick of time, South Park's grownups figure out how to counter the Chinpokomon threat. As the kids board their fighter jets to attack Pearl Harbor, their parents inform them that they now like Chinpokomon too. This kills the thrill for the boys, who immediately abandon the plan.
What I Learned Today
"This whole Chinpokomon thing happened because we all followed the group. We only liked Chinpokomon because everyone else did. And look at the damage it caused."
Memorable Quotes
- "I love you! Let's be friends and destroy the capitalist American government!" (Chinpokomon doll)
- "Thank you for stopping by with your gargantuan penis." Mr. Hirohito
- "But Mo-om! I have to get a Chimpokomon doll before anyone else does because then I'll be cooool!" Cartman
- "The Primary Main Objective is to destroy the evil power!" Stan
- "We very are very simple people, with very small penis. Mr. Ose penis is especially small." Mr. Hirohito
- "Jesus tap dancing Christ! Get with the program, Kyle." Cartman
Character Debuts
A whole bunch of Chinpokomon: Furry Cat, Donkeytron, Pen-Gin, Shoe, Lambtor, Roo-STOR, LAMtron, and Chu-Chu Nezumi. Collect them all, and you just might become Royal Crown Chinpoko Master.
Red Harris, owner of Luau's Toys. You can see him again in "A Very Crappy Christmas".
Hirohito, President of the Chinpoko Toy Corporation, and his associate, Mr. Ose, who we learn has a microscopic penis.
Body Count
Kenny has a violent seizure while playing the Chinpokomon video game and stays comatose for the rest of the episode. Finally, at the very end, his body bursts open, revealing that he's filled with rats. So he'd probably been dead for a while.
Behind The Scenes
Where Did The Idea Come From
The story was an extended critique of the Pokemon phenomenon.
Pop Culture References
Shout Outs
After the kids' parents get them to stop liking Chinpokomon by pretending to like it too, Stan's mom tells Mr. Garrison to "Get on the wire to every parent around the country and tell them how to bring those sons of bitches down." The line comes from the movie Independence Day.
When talking about how stupid TV shows can destroy a child's mind, Sharon begs Randy to "remember what "Battle of the Network Stars" did to an entire generation." This is a reference to the long-running TV series that pitted popular television performers against one another.
Kyle uses the phrase "ay-eet", trying to say it the way Lauren Hill does, but it turns out that stopped being cool 8 days ago.
A few of the Chinpokomon have designs directly inspired by actual Pokémon, such as Fatdactyl having Pikachu's tail, eyes and yellow color, and Monkey resembling Slowpoke and Slowbro. South Park: The Stick of Truth would introduce more Chinpokomon figures, some of which are based on newer Pokémon. The main character of the Chinpokomon cartoon show resembles Ash Ketchum (the hero of the Pokémon anime) with an awful trucker mullet, while one of the villains resembles James of Team Rocket (with the colors of Butch, another Team Rocket member).
Bonus Factoids
Pointless Observations
Trey Parker studied Japanese and actually lived briefly in Japan. Thus the Japanese names and dialogue in this episode are right on the money. Emperor Hirohito was played by an old friend of his, Junichi Nishimura -- who also supplied the narration for Trey's college short film, American History. You can see a young, animated Junichi briefly in "Jewbilee".
Cartman shows off his ability to play guitar in this episode, as he sings on the sidewalk for people to give him money for more Chimpokomon.
We see two live-action commercials for toys developed to subvert the Chinpokomon phenomenon: Alabama Man, a plastic doll which spends a lot of time bowling, drinking and beating its wife, and Wild Wacky Action Bike, "the bike that's hard to ride!"
Nations/Cultures Impugned
The word chinpoko means "small penis" in Japanese. The phrase Chinpokomon means "small penis monster." Also, Kenny's seizure is a reference to an incident in Japan in which the viewing of a Pokemon episode called "Electric Soldier Porygon" caused a similar problem with Japanese children. It was never aired in the United States.

The texts, e-mails and phone calls were rolling in. If there was ever a time I needed a receptionist, this was it. I had just gone on a first date and word was spreading rapidly.
"OMG!! I AM SO EXCITED!! Can't wait to hear all about it! Woot! Woot!" my aunt sent via text message.
"Tell me everything!" my best friend said at the beginning of a lengthy phone call.
"So, how did it go?" my college roommate questioned in an e-mail.
I excitedly answered each and every message, detailing my anticipation for the possibilities that may lie ahead while also curbing the over-enthusiasm of many friends who had already forgotten that it was only our first date, not our 10th. I marveled at the number of relatives and friends, some married and others unmarried, who took the time to express their excitement and joy about this simple first date.
Time magazine reported this summer that a healthy social life with strong friendships leads to a longer life. Numerous health institutions, such as the Mayo Clinic, support the idea that strong social networks made up of family and friends can reduce one's stress levels while also increasing a sense of belonging, sense of self-worth and feeling of security – all things that singles need when navigating through the dating scene.
I've been blessed by a strong support system, one that has stood by me through first dates as well as painful break-ups. They're the people that encourage me to hold out for the best, to demand respect and to always have faith in the greater plan.
Each of us has unique friendships and support networks that stand beside us through all of life's triumphs and defeats, and as Catholic singles, we must rely on these people to remind us that the right person may only be a first date away.

The first association of teachers in Schenectady, N.Y., was the Schenectady branch of the New York State Teachers' Association. Although the date of formation for that organization cannot be determined, it was defunct by 1918. [1] On January 17, 1918, teachers in Schenectady, N.Y., met to organize the City Teachers' Association of Schenectady, which would represent all professionals in the city's department of education. The initial impetus for the formation of the association appears to be improving teachers' salaries, though the association was also probably formed to replace the city branch of the State Teachers Association. [2] By 1932 the association was affiliated with the National Education Association (NEA). [3]
Teachers in Schenectady assumed heavier schedules during the great depression to help lighten the city's budget, but these schedules continued into the mid-1940s. [4] During World War II, the salaries of teachers in the Schenectady school district did not rise with the rise in the cost of living. From 1941 to 1944, all city employees with the exception of teachers were given annual $100 cost of living adjustments. In 1943 the City Teachers' Association began asking its members for ideas on how to remedy this problem, and one of the solutions was the formation of a union. The teachers considered affiliation with the American Federation of Teachers (AFT), and after sufficient members signed up as prospective members, the Schenectady Federation of Teachers, AFT Local 803 was formed. [5]
One of the earliest dilemmas, besides pay raises and reduction of work loads, for the Schenectady Federation of Teachers (SFT) was merit rating (or merit pay) which was instituted by the Schenectady Board of Education in 1948. The Schenectady system of merit rating consisted of 15 preliminary and automatic steps coinciding with increments in pay. However, to reach Step 16, a teacher had to undergo the official merit rating process. Twenty-seven of the teachers who went through the rating process were not granted promotions in the 1950/51 school year. This prompted SFT to decry the inequities in the system, including the subjectivity of raters' decisions and the lack of sufficient or in-depth evaluation. By the early part of 1952 and after pressure from SFT, the Schenectady Board of Education had abolished merit rating. [6]
Early in 1967, SFT welcomed the appearance of a Schenectady Teachers Association (STA) newsletter in teachers' mailboxes. The STA, affiliated with the New York State Teachers Association (NYSTA) and the National Education Association (NEA), was apparently not yet viewed as a competitor. [7] Soon after, both STA and SFT were supporting petitions calling for an election to choose between them for the exclusive bargaining rights to Schenectady's teachers [8], and by September of that year STA had already won the right to represent teachers in Schenectady. [9] One reason for STA's success was probably a feeling among some teachers that SFT was not a professional organization and that it was too closely allied with labor. During 1972, the Public Employee Relations Board held another election to determine representation for the employees of the Schenectady City School District. [10] SFT was the overwhelming winner in the election. [11] Ironically, in 1972 New York State Teachers Association (NYSTA, affiliated with NEA) and United Teachers of New York (UTNY, affiliated with AFT, AFL-CIO) merged to form New York State United Teachers (NYSUT), thereby making all organized teachers in the state members of both AFT and NEA. [11]
Since its inception, the Schenectady Federation of Teachers has been opposed to the use of strikes in resolving disputes, but the local has also recognized that strikes might be the only way to solve some problems. In September 1975, SFT went on strike after being unable to negotiate a contract over the issue of class size. [12] The strike lasted 14 days and resulted in SFT's winning its negotiating point. Since strikes by public employees are illegal under New York State's Taylor Law, a number of the members (including the president) of SFT were prosecuted and sentenced to short jail terms. [13]
The 1975 strike (which coincided with a number of other teacher strikes in the Capital Region) was one small incident that brought out animosities in New York between NEA (which viewed itself as a professional organization) and NYSUT (which had continued to view itself as a labor organization of education professionals). [14] A major disagreement between NEA and NYSUT was that NEA required all locals to be represented by the same percentage of ethnic and racial minorities as existed in the state's population. NYSUT argued that this goal simply was not possible in many of its locals. [15] By July 1976, SFT had voted to disaffiliate with NEA. [16]
The 1980's have been spared the drama of strikes and disaffiliation,
but the Schenectady Federation of Teachers continues to try to ensure that
teachers are involved in decision making in the city school district.
An example is SFT's desire to have a voice in the plans to reorganize the
Schenectady city schools which were discussed from 1987 to 1990.
The local has also continued to add to its ranks segments of the school
district work force that it considers appropriate to its jurisdiction,
such as teachers in the Living Center and the ESL (English as a Second
Language) tutors. [17]

Back to table of contents
Although the records of the Schenectady Federation of Teachers contain a complete set of minutes from 1944 (and minutes for its predecessor organization from 1918-1934), the most useful records for studying the history and opinions of the local are its newsletters and subject files. The newsletters are an almost complete record of what SFT told its rank and file members. Since these members would not otherwise know the whole story of what was happening at any given point, the newsletters are usually clear about incidents, reactions and decisions concerning SFT. Minutes, written mostly by and for the officers of the local, are therefore often cryptic to the outsider and do not divulge as much information as do the newsletters.
The records of the Schenectady Federation of Teachers show how labor union activism grew out of the definite needs of teachers in Schenectady. Major issues confronting the union were teachers' salaries and workloads (especially 1927-44); merit pay (1948-52); and school reorganization (1987-90). For related records see those of the Schenectady Area Labor Council, AFL-CIO, and IUE Local 301, which contain some information about support they gave SFT (especially during the 1975 strike).

JUST GOT BACK: 11th Annual Mayor's Diversity Awards
I enjoyed an invitation to the 2012 Celebration of Diversity Awards this past Wednesday, courtesy of Mayor Ballard and last year's Sam Jones recipient, Parsons Brinckerhoff. Thanks Shelby. It was my first time to attend this 11th annual event and I genuinely enjoyed the ceremony. These kinds of events usually thicken my throat and cause me to tear up – just a little. If I'm lucky, I can face away from the crowd so nobody knows I'm choked up. It's a problem when I'm the one front-and-center and it dawns on me that something special was accomplished. It's hard to avoid an emotional display. I know that sounds corny but when I see or hear of my neighbors who are passionate about their community accomplish meaningful achievements; I get all tingly … Read entire article »

Who can make the kids OK? Can we achieve?
As far as I can determine (and I've asked him), no school superintendent has told Mayor Greg Ballard how to fix the streets or fight crime. Things are a long way from satisfactory in both those areas; but who are a bunch of educators to tell infrastructure experts and police brass how to do their jobs? Back at you. Who is this mayor, and who are his predecessors, to tell people trained and steeped in pedagogy that they're doing a lousy job and need city hall to take over? I jumped at the opportunity to pose that question during Ballard's recent visit with The Star's Editorial Board because I see a yawning fundamental gap in the education "reform" movement being ramrodded by politicians without education backgrounds. That is, they know they don't like … Read entire article »

text: Bought my wife a BLX Pro Open today. The demo she enjoyed so much was strung with NXT 17 at mid tension which is about 58# for this frame. No idea how long the strings had been in there but they looked good and the shop is known for maintaining their demos in good shape. She prefers a gut poly hybrid like mine. So, I was going to start this one at 58# for the VS Touch mains and 54# for the Focus Hex 18 crosses. Experienced BLX Pro Open users: does that sound about right? Lower or higher? She plays B Level doubles. Generally hits flat with modest topspin.

Trapexit News
What is Erlang and OTP?
Erlang is a programming language used to build server side industrial grade scalable, massively scalable soft real-time systems with high availability requirements. Some of its uses are in telecoms, banking, e-commerce, computer telephony and instant messaging. Erlang's runtime system has built-in support for concurrency, distribution and fault tolerance. Originally developed at Ericsson, it was released as open source in 1998.
OTP is set of Erlang libraries and design principles providing middle-ware to develop these systems. It includes its own distributed database, SNMP and CORBA agents, debugging tools and release handling tools. These tools and applications distributed by Ericsson are complemented by numerous other open source project projects.
Here is an example of Erlang code:
-module(beersong). -author('BillClementson'). -export([sing/0]). -define(TEMPLATE_0, "~s of beer on the wall, ~s of beer.~n" "Go to the store and buy some more," "99 bottles of beer on the wall.~n"). -define(TEMPLATE_N, "~s of beer on the wall, ~s of beer.~n" "Take one down and pass it around, ~s" " of beer on the wall.~n~n"). create_verse(0) -> {0, io_lib:format(?TEMPLATE_0, phrase(0))}; create_verse(Bottle) -> {Bottle, io_lib:format(?TEMPLATE_N, phrase(Bottle))}. phrase(0) -> ["No more bottles", "no more bottles"]; phrase(1) -> ["1 bottle", "1 bottle", "no more bottles"]; phrase(2) -> ["2 bottles", "2 bottles", "1 bottle"]; phrase(Bottle) -> lists:duplicate(2,integer_to_list(Bottle) ++ " bottles") ++ [integer_to_list(Bottle-1) ++ " bottles"]. bottles() -> lists:reverse(lists:seq(0,99)). sing() -> lists:foreach(fun spawn_singer/1, bottles()), sing_verse(99). spawn_singer(Bottle) -> Pid = self(), spawn(fun() -> Pid ! create_verse(Bottle) end). sing_verse(Bottle) -> receive {_, Verse} when Bottle == 0 -> io:format(Verse); {N, Verse} when Bottle == N -> io:format(Verse), sing_verse(Bottle-1) after 3000 -> io:format("Verse not received after 3 seconds" " - re-starting singer~n"), spawn_singer(Bottle), sing_verse(Bottle) end.

Inclusive Illinois: one campus, many voices
Inclusive Illinois: one campus, many voices is about the campus community -- faculty, staff, and students -- valuing and respecting the many voices, ideas, and perspectives we each bring to Illinois. It is about creating, building, and sustaining spaces, places, and environments that are welcoming, inclusive, and affirming, whether in the classroom, the office, the lab, or the athletic field. It is about building communities, relationships, and friendships that cross the traditional boundaries of identities. It is about crossing the invisible borders, boundaries, and walls that create separate communities. These can be boundaries based on academic interests, majors, hobbies, and fields of specialty. They can also be based on values, beliefs, lifestyles, and life experiences. They can even be based on identities, such as religion, ability, race, ethnicity, national origin, Veteran Status, and sexual orientation.
Inclusive Illinois: one campus, many voices is about creating one campus of many voices. Our goal is to work towards an image of Illinois as a multi-patterned quilt -- weaved together cohesively, yet incorporating and respecting the distinct cloths and pieces of our unique identities.
