World War II veteran was 'man of few words'
My grandfather, Jose Anselmo Gonzales - "Joe" or "Pop" as most knew him - served in World War II.
My grandfather was part of the 395th Infantry Regiment Company G. A private first class, he arrived in the European Theater on Dec. 30 1944, and departed on Sept. 17, 1945.
When he left for the war in the early summer of 1944 he was 25, married to his teenage sweetheart Connie, with three young sons - Joe, Jim and my dad Charlie.
My grandmother, whom we called Nana, always told us she had her eye on him at a very young age.
Pop's time in the theatre of war lasted about 8 1/2 months - in the Ardennes, central Europe and the Rhineland.
I know from his war papers that he "patrolled enemy-held territory in combat operations, and participated in general offensive operations".
He told me he was held down in fox holes under heavy artillery for some time and saw a lot of death.
Pop arrived in the Ardennes on Dec. 30, 1944. He was there for at least four weeks of that battle. During the Battle of the Bulge, his 395th Regiment, at times virtually surrounded by Germans, was one of few units that did not yield to the attacking Germans. Their success in defending Hofen resulted in the 395th Regiment being repeatedly assigned to other divisions for difficult assignments during the remainder of the war, earning them the sobriquet, "Butler's Blue Battlin' Bastards."
On Jan. 28 1945, after six weeks of the most intense and relentless combat of the war, the Allies declared the Ardennes Offensive, or Battle of the Bulge, officially over. The 3rd Battalion, 395th Regiment had acquitted itself with valor, having held its lines despite the harsh winter weather, and the enemy's numerical superiority and greater numbers of armored units.
After he left the service, Pop returned home and went back to work in the family business, eventually bought a home in Inglewood and raised his sons with his wife Connie.
Pop and Nana were all about family.
They moved to Huntington Beach in 1971. My parents had moved to Huntington Beach in 1967 from Hawthorne. Living so close to them was pretty cool. Pop had season tickets to the Rams when I was a kid so we took a lot of trips up to the Coliseum to see the Rams play. Pop commuted to Los Angeles daily to run his automotive repair business, which his father had started during the war.
Pop didn't say a lot about his war experience. He did say that when you kill a man you know that he may have a wife and kids at home, too.
But Pop was a man who believed that when it was time to do something, you did it to the best of your ability. At a military reunion dinner they attended, Nana talked about a few men who came over and thanked Pop for what he'd done. Pop didn't want her to go on about it. I know it had something to do with them being held down in foxholes for days, under heavy artillery.
I know it was important to my grandparents that we all were proud of our Mexican heritage. We're half Mexican and half Irish, and you wouldn't know I'm Mexican if I threw tortillas at you daily, other than my last name.
I never understood racism. Thank God, Pop taught me to treat others equally and with respect, and to respect the differences in people and where they come from. He was a man of principal-based values and he strived to live by the "golden rule."
Pop went home to be with the Lord July 28, 2007, and Nana joined him on Jan. 31 2011.
I remember once saying to Pop, "Pop, after you came back from the experience of war, was there anything back home in life that could challenge you in the way you were in the war?"
He just kind of looked at me with a stare.
That was Pop. A man of few words, but he led our family by example.

A large and intense bowel movement that results in the evacuation of all 27 ft of your intestines. Code-27 usually involves three distinct types of feces; the plug (hard feces), the hind shit (wet and sloppy feces resembling a cow pie), followed by the giblets (soupy stomach acid with a few particulates).
That pepperoni pizza last night caused me to have a Code-27 in the middle of the night.

I never thought that this would be me!
4 years ago my three daughters starting saying "Mummy, please can we have another baby?"
My husband and I were clucky too, so we started trying.
We had a miscarriage at 11 weeks which was such a bittersweet journey for us all.
When I realised I was pregnant again, I was so guarded. I never really allowed myself to fully enjoy and embrace the pregnancy - I was guarding my heart against the pain of loss.
I remember thinking "I won't fully relax until I have a live baby in my arms."
Late into the pregnancy, I found I was still struggling with fear. As a 4th-time homebirther and mature woman of 43, and after supporting nearly 100 other women through birth as a doula, you'd think I'd 'have it together' a tad more. But no, I was as vulnerable as any woman is when she goes through birth.
I became aware of the fact that I was holding on to fear related to the miscarriage. Deep down inside, I started mentioning this to God in my thoughts and prayers (I'm a Christian, this is just something that's normal to me.)
People starting sending me Blessingway messages, little notes written in cards and letters, which I started pinning up on my board in my birth corner. Again and again they were sharing verses from the Bible about fear - do not fear, I am with you, I will help you, my love will drive away all the fear, that kind of thing.
Finally at about 39 weeks it occured to me that if God was sending me all these messages about 'do not fear' surely that would mean I don't have anything to be scared of!
I really needed this reassurance.
I had a beautiful blessingway at 39 weeks. I had a massage, a footbath in fragrant herbs, and the women gave me blessingway beads and candles. My lovely 12 year old daughter painted the most amazing henna design on my tummy. Flowers in my hair. Everything this aging hippy child could want.
At exactly 40 weeks on the dot, I noticed some cramps happening at about 10 pm.
Kept schtum and went to bed.
Tightenings all night, and noticed some mucous plug passing when I went to the toilet. More tightenings all night, but I stayed in bed, kept to myself, just getting onto hands and knees when they happened.
In the morning I got up and asked dh to start pumping up and filling the pool. I kneeled over my birth ball and tied a heat pack round my tummy. I knew I was dilating and the pangs were a bit more painful that I expected.
My three daughters woke up and began to notice there was unusual activity going on and had eyes big and round.
Notice though, at this point I had not admitted to myself that I was in labour. I had not had a wee chat with God and celebrated the fact with him. I hadn't said as much to my dh. I didn't announce it to my children, I just let them figure it out.
I was playing safe. I was being guarded. I wasn't fully embracing it and entering into the wonderfulness of the moment. In case. In case - of what? In case it didn't work out well? The fears and tentativeness from pregnancy were now influencing my labour.
At 10 am we called my mum, doula friend and midwife friend to join us. My doula friend walked in to see me chatting and eating breakfast, then standing to lean forward for contractions. Her impression was that my body was way ahead of where my head was at. And she was right. My body was getting on with birthing this baby. But my mind was still trying to protect itself from - what? Something going wrong?
If I was serving as doula for a mama in this head space, I would gently challenge her to talk about her fears and doubts so she could let them go and get on with enjoying her birth, moment by moment. But I couldn't seem to do this for myself.
I decided to turn on some music.
The first strains of an amazing song by a Scottish band called Iona filled the room.
"... and here I am, out on the edge of the world ..."
The words and the melody so captured exactly where I was at, in this most sacred, place where even though we are surrounded by familiar, loving people, birth is something we do alone, in a mystical, amazing place ... on the edge of the world.
The flood gates released and I had a big cry and wanted to hug everybody.
"I'm crying because I'm happy!" I blubbed to my doula friend. She said, "I know."
Finally I could admit to myself and everyone that I was in labour and going to have a baby!
There was another song that I'd heard for the first time during my pregnancy, that gave me goose bumps when I heard it - "Healing Rain" by Michael W Smith. And now it was playing for my birth - "Healing rain is falling down ... I'm not afraid. I'm not afraid." Just those words, over and over, like a mantra.
Things then ramped up significantly. Good strong 'Puffing Billy' contractions. My doula brain was noting with satisfaction how the contractions picked up right after the emotional release. See that's how it is when a doula give birth, you can't quite separate your subjective experience from the objective observer's view!
I starting eyeing the pool. It was a fantastic deep one, much bigger than the usual Made in Water La Bassine. I loved it and climbed in.
My last three births were not painful. They weren't without exertion and effort and a fair bit of discomfort, but not what I'd call pain.
I didn't expect my 4th birth to be painful. But that's what this was - painful. I think the fact that I was lagging behind mentally, and not 'in the moment' with what my body was doing, meant that I wasn't in the Zone - that amazing labour-land place where you go really internal, a place of deep relaxation. I wasn't getting the usual rush of endorphins as a result - and I was feeling every bit of it, with not as much hormonal pain relief as the previous births. Perhaps. Birth is such a mystery, can we ever know?
I kneeled in the pool, my arms draped over the soft side of it. You couldn't get more comfortable a position in which to give birth. But I was not comfortable. I was quite a quiet birther during my previous births. Not this time. I started to roar, to really yell my head off during the contractions. One hit like a sledge hammer and I yelled and yelled. I was vaguely aware of my birth helpers encouraging me to lower the pitch - no chance - all I could do was yell! The cat was sleeping on the couch - her ears went back and she stalked off looking most affronted. The girls thought was hilarious. They were watching, rapt - not at all fazed by the din I was making. My doula friend thought I was in transition at that point.
That was a horrible contraction. That sucked. I am not doing that again. No way. There has to be a better way. I needed to totally soften and yield and surrender if I didn't want to get totally dumped by the next wave.
My hands led the way. I laid my hands out, like someone meditating. If I could keep my hands open, I could keep my body open. My mum kindly thought I wanted someone to hold my hands, but actually I needed them open.
Sure enough the next contraction, though extremely intense, was not as bad.
It felt so tumultuous to me, and I thought I was noisy - but when I looked at the video later, it all seemed quiet and calm. It doesn't reveal the storm that was going on inside me.
I could feel my baby coming down. This was my first pregnancy with a posterior baby - who absolutely refused to budge no matter how much walking or OFP or Chiro I did. I was pretty sure he was a boy! I think he turned anterior somewhere on his journey.
He had a plan. I started feeling a ring of fire. I thought, heck, I've never had this with any of the other births! Those births felt good. This just hurt. I knew his head was nowhere near the perinuem, but already I was feeling stretching that really hurt.
It was an incredible experience to try to be so soft and open and trusting in the face of pure pain. This is the miracle that women do when they give birth and the reason why you are all AMAZING!!!
He started to emerge. I felt him suck back up again. And come down another way. "He's being very gentle with you," said my midwife friend as she watched his manouvrers. It really felt that this little lad had a plan. It did not feel very gentle to me, though!
There was a long gap between contractions. There was so much pressure up near my urethra. It hurt and it burned as he crowned and emerged.
My mind was still lagging behind. What - he's out? I was mentally scrambling to catch up. For so long I had looked forward to the experience of being in labour again, of giving birth again - and now I felt as if it was all slipping through my fingers.
He was in my arms, his caul still intact. Take the membranes off his face. Don't help. Let me do it myself. The cord is too short. I have to stand up and de-tangle him. I want to be cuddling him, not threading him about like a football. Oh baby, I'm coming.
Finally we are settling down in the pool, I am holding him in my arms. My focus is not absolutely absorbed in him. My brain is fried. My attention is scattered. I have this soft little being snuggled in my arms and I am not fully in my body, in myself for him.
I have a gulp of lovely warm After Birth Bliss tea, sweetened with honey. The placenta is easily born as I sit in the pool. The blood loss is hardly anything. I think the tea is good!
I'm resting on the couch, baby in my arms. The girls meet him, touch him, stroke him, kiss him. He's lovely.
My man has tears in his eyes. Seeing him born so gently brings up issues of his own violent birth, back in the days when they strapped his mother in stirrups, extracted the baby, strung him up by the heels, slapped him on the bum, took him away from his mother, poured acid into his eyes, circumcised him etc etc. It was deeply moving for him to see a little son enter the world so gently and easily.
Even if it hurt like heck for his mama!
They made up the Post Natal Bliss herbal bath from Blissful Herbs for me and I climbed into it with my little baby son, the placenta still attached to him, floating in a bowl next to us. So there was me, baby boy and placenta all enjoying this blissful herbal soak together.
Soon we all de-camped to our bedroom and we decided to cut the cord eventually, just for practicality. We let baby Rory know what we were going to do, said a little prayer. We tied it with colourful plaited embroidery thread cords and cut the cord. All the girls had a hold of their new baby brother. They were aged 12, 10 and 8 and were delighted to be at the birth 'when they had a brain', as they say.
He was born at 1.32 pm, about 15 hours after the first niggle, and after a few hours (2? 3? of active labour) - that went by so fast I could hardly get my head around it.
He was my biggest baby at all of 8 pounds!! Just a spoonful of butter or so bigger than the girls.
This was my first boy, first posterior baby, first birth in Australia, first birth in our own home, first actual in-water birth and first baby to be born in the caul. And - the first birth that I can honestly say, actually HURT.
Losing our little one a couple of years ago was a special and sacred journey all of its own. It changed me and took away some of my innocence. It made me vulnerable, perhaps even weaker in some ways. I realise this, but I am not sorry. This is just part of the beauty and wonder and wisdom of life.
Realising that I was holding onto fear, that I was not able to fully relax, that I could not whole-heartedly embrace the pregnancy or even the experience of labour, that I was not fully in the moment or even fully in my body - does not fill me with regret or 'what ifs' or 'if onlys'. It just is what it is, and I am thankful for the experience, and what it's taught me about my own human frailty. Being able to love and accept myself, and love life, - even though it is less than ideal and I am less than perfect.

Objective: Cognitively healthy individuals commonly produce one or more "abnormal" test scores during a neuropsychological evaluation, especially when multiple tests are administered, when test scores are correlated, and when abnormality is identified with a high (sensitive) cutoff score. As such, appreciation of the base rates of abnormal test scores within both healthy and clinical samples is pertinent for accurately interpreting the scores for the individual patient whose cognitive status is unknown. Method: Data from the National Alzheimer's Coordinating Center (NACC) were used to estimate base rates of abnormal test scores separately for cognitively healthy participants and those with all-cause dementia. Monte Carlo simulation was used to estimate prevalence rates of impaired test scores and Bayes' theorem was used to calculate post-test probabilities of cognitive impairment at common cutoff scores (z < −1, < −1.5, and < −2). Results. Both cognitively healthy people and those with dementia frequently produced abnormal test scores. For example, 65.8% of controls and 97.9% of demented participants produced at least one abnormal score (z < −1) across the 10-test battery of the NACC Uniform Data Set. When cutoff scores are low (specific) and the expected prevalence of cognitive impairment is high (e.g., >70%), even one or two abnormal test scores should not be interpreted as benign. Conclusion. Given the prevalence of abnormal test scores within both cognitively healthy and all-cause dementia samples, these analyses provide information that may prevent the over- or under-interpretation of impairment in an individual's performance. Consideration of these analyses may improve accuracy of diagnostic interpretation.

The 2014 Oil Price Crash Explained
In February 2009 Phil Hart published on The Oil Drum a simple supply demand model that explained then the action in the oil price. In this post I update Phil's model to July 2014 using monthly oil supply (crude+condensate) and price data from the Energy Information Agency (EIA).
This model explains how a drop in demand for oil of only 1 million barrels per day can account for the fall in price from $110 to below $80 per barrel. Continue reading

European and UK Gas Security
Will the Lights be on at Christmas? Almost certainly yes. The biggest blackout risk will come later in the New Year at around tea time on a weekday in February or early March. The weather poses one of the most significant risks where a prolonged cold calm spell could see European gas stocks run down. The Ukrainian Civil war may see supplies cut and this may have a bad impact upon East Europe and perhaps Italy. But for so long as Nord Stream remains supplied I don't see Russian risks to West European supplies. Continue reading

The Appalling Truth About Energy Subsidies
The renewables subsidies are paid to producers by the consumers and are the exact opposite of the fossil fuel subsidies paid by producers to consumers.
We are comparing apples with oranges but normalising for energy production, the renewables subsidies are 8.4 times larger and amount to 94% of the value of the energy produced. This latter statistic is hard to believe, but if it is close to true, it suggests that new renewables are contributing virtually nothing to society. Continue reading

Zeroing in on the true value of climate sensitivity
Climate sensitivity, defined as the increase in the Earth's surface air temperature caused by a doubling of atmospheric CO2, is a curious metric. It isn't used as direct input for anything – it's derived from the output of climate models or from observational analyses – but no other variable in all of climate science is so controversial. This is because it tells us, in one single number, how serious a problem CO2-induced warming might be. Continue reading

California public utilities vote no on energy storage
So here we have a near-unanimous vote of no confidence in energy storage from utility professionals whose job it is to supply reliable power to consumers and who understand the realities of the electricity market. The conclusions are:
1. California is not going to get any meaningful amount of energy storage capacity before 2020.
2. In all likelihood no one else is going to get any either. The economics just aren't there (pumped hydro excluded).
3. Lack of energy storage capacity will continue to limit the grid penetration of non-dispatchable renewable generation for the foreseeable future. Continue reading

August 21st 2014 5:30am GMT, London UK
Today's Binary Options Trading Strategy:
• Currency Pair: EURUSD
• Timeframe: H4 (Hourly Chart)
• Binary Option Trading Recommendation: Seek call options on dips below 1.3250
• Upside Potential: The upside potential for this call option is 150 pips to 1.3400
• Downside Potential: The downside potential for this call option is 70 pips to 1.3180
The EURUSD continued its severe sell-off further into extremely depressed levels and has now formed a bearish price channel which is a bearish chart formation. On the H4 chart this currency pair has recorded an intra-day high of 1.3476 reached on July 25th 2014 and an intra-day low of 1.3242 reached today on August 21st 2014. The drift lower has set a series of lower highs and lower lows.
Price action is currently trading lower alongside its descending support line from its bearish price channel. This currency pair is expected to reverse from current levels as the chart pattern is expected to remain intact. Binary options traders can take advantage from the expected move higher with binary call options. Today's binary options trading strategy suggests call options to be placed below 1.3250 for a risk/reward ratio of 1.0/2.14.
The EURUSD may attempt a series of false breakdown below its descending support line, but it is expected that price action will reverse sharply from any breakdown especially if today's PMI data come in favorable which will help this currency pair spike higher from its current extreme depressed territory. An increase in volume as well as volatility from current level is also expected and a capitulation intra-day low may emerge before a complete trend reversal and successful breakout from its current bearish chart pattern.
The first resistance for the EURUSD currency pair will await the rally at 1.3310 where price action will meet the descending resistance line of its bearish price channel. Given the expected momentum of the reversal rally the EURUSD is likely to breakout and resume its relieve rally until next resistance at 1.3404. This level is an intra-day low reached on July 29th 2014 and marks the low end of a strong horizontal resistance level.
The following economic data out of the Eurozone is expected to impact the base currency, the Euro, of the EURUSD currency pair:
Eurozone Composite PMI, Manufacturing PMI and Services PMI for August:
• Expectations: Eurozone Composite at 53.4, Eurozone Manufacturing PMI at 51.3, Eurozone Services PMI at 53.7
• Previous Month's Data: Eurozone Composite at 53.8 in July , Eurozone Manufacturing PMI at 51.8, Eurozone Services PMI at 54.2
• Impact on Euro: A stable PMI report or upward surprise is expected to spike the Euro which will favor binary call options in the EURUSD currency pair
In addition the following economic reports out of the United States are expected to impact the quote currency, the US Dollar, of the EURUSD currency pair:
Initial Jobless Claims/Continuing Jobless Claims:
• Expectations: Initial jobless claims at 303,000, continuing claims at 2,520,000
• Previous Week's Data: Initial jobless claims at 311,000, continuing claims at 2,544,000
• Impact on US Dollar: Initial jobless claims data as well as continued claims are not expected to surprise traders and therefore the impact will be limited; this further favors binary call options in the EURUSD
Existing Home Sales for July:
• Expectations: Existing homes sales contraction of 0.5%
• Previous Month's Data: Existing home sales increase of 2.6% in June
• Impact on US Dollar: A weaker US housing market will pressure the US Dollar lower which favors binary call options in the EURUSD

2011 Malbec Argentino Bodegas Catena Zapata
This Product is currently unavailable. Please check back later or contact us directly and we will endeavour to source it for you.
Average critic rating : 95.0 points
I was truly impressed with the nose of the 2011 Catena Zapata Malbec Argentino, a blend of grapes from Adrianna (Gualtallary) and Nicasia (Altamira) vineyards in the Uco Valley. Even if the grapes are sourced from the same vineyards as the Adrianna and Nicosia bottling, this wine is quite different. Here the plots are selected from the granitic parts that give it a different, austere texture. There is a seamless granularity with the tannins that go in a straight line, and keep going and going. Super! 11,000 bottles were filled.||Catena might be the most important winery in Argentina, producing both quantity and quality, which is something uncommon. There is a very wide range of wines offered at very different price points, with the entry-level offering very good value and the high-end delivering world-class wines. My favorites come from their famous Adrianna vineyard in Gualtallary, the most fashionable appellation at the moment, where they were pioneers. Anything wearing the Catena name is guaranteed to deliver what the label says: grape, vintage and place. Why can't all large producers be like Catena? eRobertParker.com.August, 2015

I've long been a fan of Lincoln, and have studied the Whig party, of which Lincoln was elected to Congress through. The Whig party was an anti-establishment, anti-Masonic party. Dick Morris succinctly compares what's happening today to the formation of the Whig and eventually the Republican President Lincoln…
The entire video is excellent, but Morris starts in on the Whig explanation @ 9:40. Enjoy!

Geiss Lost For Year
Adding injury to insult is how last Saturday's game aganist Minnesota-Duluth will be remembered for the Saint Cloud State Football team. Sophomore Brandon Geiss was hurt on a first half carry and was out the rest of the game. Coach Underwood confirmed today that his star running back is likely be out for the rest of the year with a broken fibula.
Geiss who was averaging 83 yards a game with a 4.7 yards a carry average coming into last week's game is a big lose for a team that is currently 4-4 on the season. Geiss's six touchdowns will be missed but also his ability to pick up the blitz and zone protection.
With just three games remaining on the schedule it is figured that the team will mostly likely not push the matter to much and turn to two other running backs that have performed fairly well this season. Jake Machacek and Dante Steward will share the load in Geiss's absence. They have combined for a 80-yard average a game with a combined 4 touchdowns.
The Huskies will see how the new lineup looks come this Saturday when they take on the University of Mary at 2:30 p.m. at Husky Stadium. Listen to the game live here on KVSC with the pregame show starting at 2:10 p.m.

Southern Arkansas Health Leaders Call for Legislation to Protect Kids From Tobacco
The legislation would give FDA the authority to crack down on tobaccomarketing and sales to kids, stop tobacco companies from misleading the publicabout the health risks of their products and require changes in theseproducts, such as the reduction or removal of harmful constituents.
Unbelievably, despite being the most deadly product sold in America,tobacco products are exempt from basic health regulations that apply to otherproducts we consume, such as food and drugs. The FDA regulates a box ofmacaroni and cheese and a tube of lipstick, but not a pack of cigarettes.Products that are regulated by the FDA will be on display at the event.

"This is an excellent collection for crochet beginners and those of us who have crocheted for years. For me in the early days I had to learn to slow down and count each stitch. This is a main problem for misaligned work. Also understanding what gauge is and being sure that the first stitches and rows match the patterns gauge instruction. Sometimes changing hook size solves a problem. How long have you been crocheting?"
"I've got to Pin this one! This is an adorable craft to make with children while they are home on school vacation this week. Crafting sessions are perfect for February vacation in the cold states of New England. Isn't it great to share special time with children or grandchildren? This is an excellent craft for daycare or the babysitter to share for entertainment."
"I actually thought the magnets were inside the material. It's excellent that they are attached underneath. I reaIly think this is a great idea. I would consider making one for my mother. She has vision problems so not only would this keep her straight pins in place but she'd be able to feel them if concentrating on a project. I'm thinking that a solid color would be a better idea for someone who is elderly and having problems seeing things. Do you agree?"
"The two strand Fold basket is a very clever pattern. Making this and keeping in your kitchen to use it for a catch all. This could be made in two colors and would so cute. The pattern dos not seem too complicate and probably would work up fast. This would make a great gift or use it for a basket on the back of the toilet. It is make with cotton yarn which is very easy to work with. I am definitely going to make this one up."
"The mop or sweeper cover is a great idea. They are so expensive to buy and these would work great. The cover is made with cotton yarn which is great for this purpose. The pattern is very simple to follow and should be able to be worked up in one sitting. I know I am going to make a couple of these for my mop. Great project."

It seems like magic, but glass magnifies anything placed underneath it. In this jewelry making craft project by Maria Nerius, a tiny bird fills a glass heart to create a pretty pendant.
- Glass heart glob (found in stain glass supplies)
- Scraps of decorative paper
- Clear drying glue or laminate glue
- Scissors
- Bail
- Puddle a small amount of a clear glue or laminate glue onto decorative paper. This project used scraps from a decorative glittery paper with a small bird image.
- Place your glass glob onto the puddle making sure you are happy with the placement. The glass magnifies anything underneath it. This project centered on the bird.
- Press down firmly, wiping away any excess glue that might squeeze out of the edges. Repeat for as many pendants as you want. If possible place a book on top of your pendants as they dry to keep the paper flat. Allow to dry.
- Trim excess paper away from the pendant. Adhere a jewelry bail to back of pendant and allow to dry.

Is there an unlocker to work with Nuvi 2559 purchased in UK.. Trying to put Aus City Navigator on it... is there any update on being able to do this??
I unlocked some maps using this program, and loaded to my device. It works initially right after I insert it to my device. However, after I turn my Garmin off and on again, I can no longer see road/street from the map. When I look at myMaps setting, all these unlocked map names show up as None. Do you know what may be the issue?
You've written: "It works initially right after I insert it to my device". Does that mean the maps are on a microSD/SD? If so try with a different card or try ejecting/reinserting the present card several times to make better contact. Use dedicated electrical contact cleaner sparingly on the card/slot contacts if necessary.

This article is only available in the PDF format. Download the PDF to view the article, as well as its associated figures and tables.
This book contains 1,622 references. Unfortunately these are not in alphabetical order; if they had been so placed, the reference list in itself would be worth the price of the book.
Although the book is quite complete, the title is misleading, since much space is devoted to aspects of hypertension which are unrelated to management. The chief criticisms that I have are that (1) the book is too long for what it attempts to present; (2) it does not follow a clear and concise outline; (3) there are too many case reports, and they are frequently too long; and (4) there seems to be much redundancy. For example, the first 289 pages consist primarily of a detailed discussion oriented about treatment, with many case reports. Then there suddenly appears on page 290 the chapter "Antihypertensive Drugs —Pharmacology and Therapy," which seems to be completely out of place as well as

Restaurant review: Marqs in Menlo hits the mark

I went in with a musical child to listen to the Piano Bar and the singing. I agree, joie de vivre applies to Mr. Adams, though I'd use the word quirky only because I can pronounce it.
Particularly fun was when the chef came to our table to negotiate with my daughter what style of Vegen would suit her that evening. The results were terrific.
Looking forward to more meals if they'll let us back in!

Huh, well knowing Mr. Adams from Oak City I was interested in seeing him and his sidekick, Miles, at their new digs. First night we went there (two nights after opening) it was late. We were served a glass of wine on the house to welcome us. That was very thoughtful....THEN we went back....We were over charged with no apology, no drink on the house and no refund. We have been treated "differently" our last few times there and we won't be going back. Mr. Adams would not work with us thru the "mis understanding". Not a good "bed side manner" if you ask us!

Food is too heavy, outdated, and not interesting -- seen it all before.
Service is v-e-r-y slow.
Lots of attitude, not customer-oriented.
Went twice to give it a chance - music was good, though.
But we won't be returning.

Iraq and its economical conditions after war
The nation Iraq is having exceptionally feeble efficient conditions from the day first when it was enjoyed war. In the wake of going around 10 years, the general population of Iraq are as yet enduring same temperate conditions sadly. Numerous monetary gatherings and insurance agencies have gone by in Iraq yet nobody is prepared to build up its grounds in this nation.
The legislature is taking enthusiasm to renew the lives of individuals which have been too awful. The monetary states of individuals are unspeakable. Past to war, they were upbeat and had no dissension from anybody. Partners are in charge of everything which they have made in Iraq which has been additionally demonstrated wrong by UK exp-President.
Before war, individuals had their protection approaches which were permitted by the administration authorities because of which they had not pressure about their uses. Protection strategies were additionally working in Iraq openly because of which there was an extraordinary rivalry in insurance agencies.
All organizations were utilized to give valuable rate due to rivalry. Insurance agencies give advantages to individuals with the goal that they can get protection approaches from those organizations. Each organization needed to have more clients because of which they give more advantages to them.
Unfortunately, now individuals have been denied of such offices and spending their reserve funds so severely. Then again, government individuals are attempting to welcome world's best monetary organizations alongside insurance agencies with the goal that they can have work settled in a few urban communities. They are additionally endeavoring endeavors to do it gently so that those organizations can work there settled.

Ty Dolla $ign ft. Wiz Khalifa - Irie
By Lucas G. | 3 years ago
Artist: Ty Dolla $ign
Track: Irie
Feat. Wiz Khalifa
Producer: DJ Spinz
Album: Beach House 2
It makes sense that Ty Dolla $ign invited Wiz Khalifa to help him out on his latest street single. While he might not actually be from the Jam Rock, Wiz definitely knows what it's like to feel Irie. DJ Spinz cooks up a whirring and winding production featuring a plethora of interesting little effects that give the song a quirky vibe, which Ty uses to showcase his staggered flow. Wiz handles the record's second verse, dropping a few weed-centric bars to round out the cut. If you want to feel Irie all over again, be sure to cop Ty's upcoming, DJ Drama-hosted mixtape, Beach House 2, when it drops in July.

The 2012 Doomsday Ruse
I am calling it a ruse because that's exactly what it is. We now have scammers preying on the gullible with extraordinary information on their annoying websites for lack of a better word. My inspiration Carl Sagan always stated that extraordinary information called for extraordinary evidence. I agree with the fact that there is a lot out there that we still have to account for. Think Star Wars here. What seemed impossible to expert scientists a few decades ago is fast becoming reality. You know exactly what I am talking about here. But with regards to this doomsday ruse otherwise known as the 2012 phenomenon, things just don't add up!
It's not as big here in the States because we have sane people up here who are scientifically literate despite the obvious shortcomings in the education system that our friends to the East along with the politicians trying to energize the masses are quick to point out. But this whole Hub is mainly aimed at a lot of my relatives and some of their friends (whom I unfortunately have to speak to occasionally on Skype or on trips to India) back in my country of origin India.
Now India is a great place and one of the reasons why I put this up here was because as you know I've been trying pretty hard to get a piece of some of that pie there. What better way, than posting a Hub with a potential of billion views, eh? I wish!
But, anyway, for all you reading this who have been mislead by the conspiracy theorists, I urge you to read this NASA post on their official website that dispels all the rumors associated with this 2012 phenomenon. For those of you who can't read English, I feel bad for you. I know that this is the major reason for all the misinterpretations and misrepresentations.
And for those of you who can't be bothered taking the time to thoroughly read the NASA post that I shared with you, I have news that there will be no Planet Nibiru hurtling towards us, no alignment that they talk of so much, no meteor strikes, no total blackout and no solar storms. None of that Mayan calendar hogwash, either. Give me a break!
There will only be the usual Winter Solstice scheduled to take place on December, 21, 2012. Sorry to break it to you guys and spoil the party. Haha. You can see how much fun I am having with this.
I am going to go down as a prophet too. But of course I've been aided with the research and work by the scientific community at large. But still there is something about being supremely confident about something that is to happen in the future. As we all know the future is full of uncertainty. Being a stock trader, I have yet to go into a position without biting my nails.
Mark this down all you naysayers. The date up there says December 16, 2012. Exactly 6 days prior to the so called doomsday. There will be no apocalypse. Absolutely nothing!
It took me 10 minutes to write this up. I do agree that it was after extensive research and a love for astronomy that has existed since my childhood.
When exactly will it hit?
Think about it like this: When it is 21st December in Asia, it will still be the 20th December in the Americas and even become the 22nd December in Australia.
I know that it can probably wait until the Americas get to the 'doomsday' date. But then there will only be a short window of opportunity as it will already be the 22nd in Australia before long.
I am just jesting here as the whole doomsday thing makes me laugh and I thought I'll have a little fun!
NASA is so confident that the world isn't going to end; they've released a video 10 days early!
- Confident NASA release Mayan apocalypse video TEN DAYS early: 'Why the World Didn't End Yesterday' |
So confident are NASA that the apocalypse will not happen on December 21st that they have released a video 10 days ahead of schedule entitled 'Why the World Didn't End Yesterday'.

Above & Beyond, Charles Manson: One and the same? Ban EDM Thinks So
Ban EDM Now
So, yeah. This is happening. Above & Beyond, yeah the guys who affectionately call their shows "Group Therapy" and remind their fans to say I love you, are being compared to Charles Manson.
This is being done by a group calling itself "Ban EDM now" led by Jessica Beedle from 'Mother's Against Molly.' It has all the trappings of a sick joke, but also manages to have just enough barbs to be considered sensationalist propaganda. With the recent light being shined on our community being so dark in nature, it is imperative that we don't allow those who are ignorant to sully our good name. For reference, here is a small snippet of what they had to say:
It's time to take control of the conversation
Luckily in this case the accusations lobbed are so ridiculous that they can be quickly dismissed. If Tony, Paavo, and Jono were the monsters that they are accused of being, would people propose during their sets?
It is sad that outsiders are coming and attacking us during what should be a time of mourning and self-reflection, however it also brings to light how important it is during these trying times for our community to unite and defend what we love, particularly from outsiders who refuse to understand what we stand for, and instead are quick to vilify us and our heroes as depressed, dangerous drug addicts who need to be stopped at all costs. Now is the time to stand and make our voices heard, to fight back against these misconceptions and to restore a light to our sanctuary. Dance music is the defining sound of our generation, and it is up to us to take control of the conversation and decide how history will remember us.
Raves are where I go to be… me
By having these conversations with our friends, our families, our co-workers and anybody who will listen, we can show the world what rave culture really means to us. The friendship, love and lifelong connections forged by a shared love of music and dance. The lives saved by songs reaching out to desperate people during their darkest of days. The feelings of peace and unity that can only be felt when thousands of people gather for a unified purpose, those moments when you truly feel as if you share a united state of consciousness. Yes, drugs exist in our culture and it seems likely that they always will, however from the outside that is all they choose to see. The truth is that drugs are but a tiny sliver of what draws throngs of young Americans to raves every weekend. The truth is that we are a generation who have grown up knowing nothing but war who are falling over each other to be a part of a culture that is filled with peace and love, a generation raised behind computer screens yearning for a reason to gather and connect with one another in a world that increasingly grows cold and distant. I have seen many people describe raves as an escape, but I believe the opposite is true. I think of raves as my home, somewhere I can go to spent time with my family, somewhere free of judgement where I can be happy and protected from all of the chaos of the outside world. Raves are where I go to be me, and I for one refuse to sit here idly while people try and take that away from me.
A call to action
Throughout history, it has been common for previous generations to be confused by the music of newer generations, and this lack of understanding is often met with disapproval, or even hostility. Parents forbid their children from watching Elvis Presley on television. There was a time when there were anti-Beatles protests and their albums were being burned in the streets. It is important not to let the distrust and anger of others change how we feel, to influence what we know to be true in our hearts. We may not be able to have an effect what the national media thinks, but we can spread the positivity of our scene to those around them, and show the world that the accusations laid at our feet are unjust and untrue. I see this as a call to action, and I hope some of you feel the same.

"Best to go to Disney" Walt Disney World Tip by iam1wthee
Walt Disney World, Orlando: 89 reviews and 85 photos
Favorite thing: When the kids are in school. Usually in late June, August, December you will have to wait on really long lines to get on a ride or see a show. If you have to go during these times then go in the afternoon around 2 pm. Most of the early birds have finished with the park by that time.
Fondest memory: meeting Mickey
