Testimonials: Renovations
1 bedroom apartment
HY's Renovations were very respectful, courteous and friendly and achieved a result far better than I could have hoped for. I would have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone. I was thrilled with the result. They are incredibly professional and nothing was ever too much trouble. I had so much faith that they could get the job done, I was away with work for the majority of the two month renovation.

We hired HY's to extend our living room, to completely re-do our backyard, and create a seamless indoor / outdoor experience. I have to say that the result exceeds our expectations. I would definitely recommend HY's, they're a quality outfit, and I give them a lot of credit for in particular three things:
- They were very open to ideas and excellent at structuring everything I threw at them into an overall plan and then project managing that plan from start to finish.
- During the execution a few extra opportunities for improvement popped up and HY's brought them to us pro-actively. They're really good at thinking about the project from the owners perspective and don't mind being flexible.
- Their work is top quality. It's hard to find good builders in Australia. HY's did quality work from start to finish that gives me confidence that it will last for many years. If you're looking for a competitive, top quality, boutique builder then I can definitely recommend this one.

Dundalk Classical Tenor David Martin kicks off 2017 solo singing career with Spirit Store show
Dundalk Classical Tenor, David Martin is a man forging ahead with successful careers in both the music world and with the Irish Army.
The recently promoted Army Sergeant has over the years combined his work with his love of singing, taking on musical projects as his military career has allowed, with both careers seeing him travel the world.
Now, as always, keen to take up a challenge David is also focusing on a solo career while adapting to life alongside his Army promotion.
Featuring a Piano Quintet & Guest Soprano, his first project 'A Night at the Opera' will debut in The Spirit Store, Dundalk on Sunday.
Any person who appreciates classical music training in any way shape or form will know the hours of effort that goes into maintaining and caring for that vocal talent.
David's vocal training began in Dundalk under the tutelage of Geraldine McGee and in the years that followed he successfully competed in various Feis Ceoil. In 1999, having won the Tenor Solo and the Joseph O'Mara Memorial Cup for Operatic Aria in Dublin, he began his studies at the Leinster College of Music and Drama with Dr Veronica Dunne and Jeannie Reddin.
David then went on to complete Il Corso Di Canto E Perfezionamento Lirico in Montalto Ligure in Northern Italy, led by the world famous Ugo Benelli, who said "David has a remarkable sound, and a fantastic vocal range."
There aren't many Classical Tenors who combine a successful singing career, a full Army career and a happy family life but David Martin is leading the way.
David realises his good fortune. "I have had some fantastic opportunities over the years. I have performed at so many momentous occasions and locations, in the National Concert Hall and also at the Eucharistic Congress in the RDS. I have also travelled via the Army – Paris, Brussels, Lourdes etc."
Following his Spirit Store performance, David will be heading to the States for a 43 Date Tour with the Five Irish Tenors, and will be returning hopefully with further Solo Irish Tour dates for 2017.
"It is exciting and I can't wait to get on the Spirit Store Stage and start a new phase in my musical career."
'A Night at the Opera' with David Martin takes place in The Spirit Store, Sunday January 8th. Tickets priced €15.

Hi Mike,
I would rather run this through firstname.lastname@example.com since it is a personal issue and we may want to exchange some private information.
That said, I would try to run your command with the -v flag. It is most likely the case that mercurial is not picking up your private key from your .ssh directory.
If you can ssh into some other box that already knows about your public key then this would confirm that your system is correctly finding the key.
You may also try specifying your ssh config directly to hg http://machghelp.jasonfharris.com/kb/connections/multiple-ssh-keys-for-multiple-mercurial-repositories

Old Man is a character that appears in the Martian Successor Nadesico television series.
After the Utopia Colony of Mars was destroyed, the old man told a soldier that he was wasting his time for trying to contact HQ because the surface was probably vaporized. The old man then took a drink out of a flask.
When the soldier told refugees the situation at hand, he tried to open the doors manually with a metal pole. (Nadesico: "To Go Like a Man")

The assessment by the Department of Health reveals how the Health Service has fared with implementing 2003 guidelines on the disease.
It says the NHS must be able to help the 100,000 people who were diagnosed with diabetes in the last year.
Experts said the report accurately reflected current conditions.
Complications risk
There are estimated to be a "missing million" people with diabetes who have not been diagnosed.
The report, assessing the success in implementing the National Service Framework on diabetes, praises the NHS in England for picking up the 100,000 cases.
And, while it cites examples of good treatment in the NHS - such as a weight management programmes in Cleveland and screening programme targeted at vulnerable communities in Bradford - it says more could be done.
A second report, published by the Insulin Pumps Working Group, says more should be done to make available the pumps, which infuse the hormone into the layer of tissue just beneath the skin.
In 2003, the National Institute for health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) recommended the pumps should be available to those people with Type 1 diabetes for whom they are suitable.
Health minister Rosie Winterton said: "With GPs identifying more people with diabetes, patients are now getting the care, advice and support to enable them to manage their condition more effectively, and reduce the risk of the complications associated with diabetes, such as heart disease.
"But as more people are diagnosed with diabetes, the NHS must step up to the challenge of continuing to provide high quality services that are convenient for patients.
"The NSF Progress Report demonstrates that excellent work is already under way and I would urge PCTs to look at how they can best provide services for people with diabetes in their local area."
'Grasp opportunities'
Dr Sue Roberts, National Clinical Director for Diabetes, said: "Although we can be justly proud of what has been achieved, we must also recognise that there is still much to be done before everyone in England receives diabetes services the NHS can be truly proud of."
Douglas Smallwood, chief executive of Diabetes UK, said: "The NSF report quite accurately reflects that diagnosis of diabetes is improving, that people with the condition are receiving better services and that there is more information than ever before on the care that people are receiving."
But he added: "It pulls no punches in acknowledging that there are still many gaps in service provision and that much more needs to be done until we meet all the NSF standards.
"The challenge is for the NHS to grasp the opportunities provided by commissioning and other changes to deliver a truly patient focused service."

Janssen-Cilag International NV
)'s INVOKANA Wins Approval In The EU For Type 2 Diabetes Patients
INVOKANA™ (canagliflozin) Approved in the European Union for Treatment of Adults with Type 2 Diabetes
BEERSE, Belgium--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Janssen-Cilag International NV (Janssen) announced today that the European Commission (EC) has approved INVOKANA™ (canagliflozin) in the European Union for the treatment of adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus, to improve glycaemic control[1]. Canagliflozin is an oral, once-daily medication, which belongs to a new class of medications called sodium glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors.
The decision from the EC follows a positive opinion from the Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) of the European Medicines Agency (EMA) recommending the approval of canagliflozin in September 2013. Canagliflozin is indicated in adults aged 18 years and older with type 2 diabetes mellitus to improve glycaemic control;
as monotherapy, when diet and exercise alone do not provide adequate glycaemic control in patients for whom the use of metformin is considered inappropriate due to intolerance or contraindications
or as add-on therapy with other anti-hyperglycaemic medicinal products including insulin, when these together with diet and exercise, do not provide adequate glycaemic control.
Professor Guntram Schernthaner, Department of Medicine I, Rudolfstiftung Hospital, Austria, comments "For patients with type 2 diabetes, managing blood sugar levels is a daily struggle. Nearly half of adults suffering from the disease fail to achieve or maintain adequate levels of glucose, which can lead to potentially life-threatening complications. For the growing number of patients with type 2 diabetes in Europe, the approval of a new additional treatment option is very welcome".
The kidneys make an important contribution in controlling blood glucose levels. As glucose is filtered from the blood into the kidneys, it is reabsorbed back into the bloodstream. An important carrier responsible for this reabsorption is called sodium glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2). Canagliflozin selectively inhibits SGLT2, and, as a result, promotes the loss of glucose via the urine, lowering blood glucose levels in adults with type 2 diabetes. Large scale studies have demonstrated that due to the increased urinary loss of glucose, canagliflozin is also associated with reductions in both systolic blood pressure and body weight.[2]
"We are delighted that INVOKANA ™ has been approved for use in Europe, as it presents another innovative treatment option for patients with type 2 diabetes, helping them manage this progressive disease. The approval of canagliflozin also reinforces Janssen's commitment to addressing the unmet needs in the treatment and management of type 2 diabetes," comments Jane Griffiths, Company Group Chairman, Janssen Europe, Middle-East, Africa.
The approval by the EC was based on a comprehensive global Phase 3 clinical trial programme, which enrolled 10,285 patients in nine studies[2-11], and is one of the largest late-stage development programmes for an investigational pharmacological product for the treatment of type 2 diabetes submitted to health authorities to date.
Three studies have compared canagliflozin to current standard treatments[3-5]; two of which compared canagliflozin to sitagliptin[3,4] and the other to glimepiride.[5] The Phase 3 programme also included three large studies in special populations[6-8]: patients over 55 with type 2 diabetes[6], patients with type 2 diabetes who had moderate renal impairment[7], and patients with type 2 diabetes who were considered to be at high risk for cardiovascular disease.[8]
Results from the programme showed that both the 100 mg and the 300 mg doses of canagliflozin improved glycaemic control, compared to baseline. A secondary study endpoint showed that there was body weight reduction in the canagliflozin groups compared to those on placebo. Phase 3 results showed that canagliflozin was generally well-tolerated. Adverse drug reactions due to SGLT2 inhibition and also associated with canagliflozin included genital mycotic infections, urinary tract infections (UTIs), osmotic diuresis (such as urinary frequency, thirst or constipation), reduced intravascular volume (such as postural dizziness). Canagliflozin was also associated with a low incidence of rash or urticaria. The frequency of hypoglycaemia was low when canagliflozin was used as a monotherapy, or as an add-on to metformin.[2]
Canagliflozin was first approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in March 2013 and recently also in Australia.
About Type 2 Diabetes
Type 2 diabetes is a chronic condition that affects the body's ability to metabolize sugar, or glucose, and is characterized by the inability of pancreatic beta cell function to keep up with the body's demand for insulin.[12]
The International Diabetes Federation estimates that in 2011, 366 million people were living with diabetes (type 1 and 2), and the diabetes population is expected to grow to over 550 million in less than 20 years.[12] The World Health Organisation estimates that 90% of the diabetes population have type 2 diabetes.[13]
One in 10 deaths in adults in Europe can be attributed to diabetes (~600,000 people in 2011).[12] If left uncontrolled, type 2 diabetes can lead to serious long-term microvascular and macrovascular complications such as coronary heart disease (leading to heart attack) and stroke, nerve disease leading to amputation, retinopathy resulting in blindness and nephropathy causing end-stage renal disease. Improved glycaemic control has been demonstrated to reduce the onset and progression of these complications.

Let's all create a great week til we meet again!
I was speaking with someone last week about getting a Wiggy's sleeping bag for use in a shelter (i.e. underground). We were talking about cots versus beds and then the light bulb came on.
Rather than buy a cot, buy a piece of plywood and a piece of polar fleece. Here's the thing: if you put up a cot, then put something like a Therma-Rest Self Inflating Mattress on it (for some softness yes, but especially as a thermal barrier underneath you), you have just used up close to 21 square feet of floor space.
If you have a 7,000 square foot UG, that 21 sq ft of floor space is a no thing. But if you have something a bit more modestly sized, and have several people (all with 2 years of food in buckets and containers) that is some mighty valuable floor space being used only for your sleeping selves.
The solution? Why, a "Bucket Bed" of course! Basically, a Bucket Bed is 3' x 7' or 4' x 7' (or only 6' long if you aren't that tall). If you make a bed that is 3 buckets wide and 7 buckets long, stacked 2 buckets high, you have just made a home for 42 buckets. If you make a 4' wide by 7' long Bucket Bed, you make a home for 56 buckets. NOW we're getting double use out of that floor space.
You'll want to cut a piece of plywood to sit on top of the buckets, whether it is 3'x7' or 4'x7'. If you want to be snazzy about it, you can cut the plywood 3 ½" wider and longer than the bucket stack size, then screw a 1x2" board on the underside of the plywood "bed platform" all the way around so it can't move to the right or left or up or down. You don't really need to do this but you could. Nothing wrong with a little overkill :-D

Nanotube yarns twist like muscles
Yarns made of the tiny straws of carbon called nanotubes have an astounding ability to twist as they contract, scientists have found.
The effect, reported in Science, is similar to the action of muscles found in elephant trunks and squid tentacles.
However, the yarns twist 1,000 times as much as previous "artificial muscles".
The effect, which occurs thanks to a conducting fluid in which the yarns were dipped, could be put to use in motors much thinner than a human hair.
The team of researchers from Australia, the US, Canada and South Korea demonstrated motors that could spin at nearly 600 revolutions per minute, turning a weight 2,000 times heavier than the yarn itself.

Hi there......As one who is highly allergic to stings, would like to share my miracle cure.....HONEY! I used to have a kit which I never remembered to carry with me, so slapped some honey on a particularly bad attack and it was all gone in minutes. Now I carry one of those little packets from restaurants wherever I go (and no, I'm not above taking one when needed!). It doesn't matter what kind of honey - it works and quickly!

Cloaking Device 'Can Erase History' By Hiding Event In Time
Erasing History? Temporal Cloaks Adjust Light's Throttle to Hide an Event in Time
Researchers from Cornell University in Ithaca, N.Y., have demonstrated for the first time that it's possible to cloak a singular event in time, creating what has been described as a "history editor." In a feat of Einstein-inspired physics, Moti Fridman and his colleagues sent a beam of light traveling down an optical fiber and through a pair of so-called "time lenses." Between these two lenses, the researchers were able to briefly create a small bubble, or gap, in the flow of light. During that fleetingly brief moment, lasting only the tiniest fraction of a second, the gap functioned like a temporal hole, concealing the fact that a brief burst of light ever occurred. The team will present their findings at the Optical Society's (OSA) Annual Meeting, Frontiers in Optics (FiO) 2011 (www.frontiersinoptics.com/), taking place in San Jose, Calif. next week.
If you start with a cage containing five monkeys and inside the cage, hang a banana on a string from the top and then you place a set of stairs under the banana, before long a monkey will go to the stairs and climb toward the banana.
As soon as he touches the stairs, you spray all the other monkeys with cold water. After a while another monkey makes an attempt with same result ...all the other monkeys are sprayed with cold water. Pretty soon when another monkey tries to climb the stairs, the other monkeys will try to prevent it..
Dear Ben and Jan,
I'd like to take this opportunity to thank both of you for the wonderful job you are doing with Master's Comnnection 2020.You are providing a remarkable service for masters in our school.
Some time ago I read a posting in your newsletter of someone who wanted to know more about what else masters do, (other than prepare) or possibly she meant how one might apply the teachings in their life. I do find articles such articles refreshing.
I would like to submit to you a body of art work most of which was directly inspired by the great work. I set out to be an artist to better know myself. When I met Ramtha, and after hearing only a few sentences from the old tape on The Brain, I immediately knew these teachings were that same journey, and I could use all the help I could get.

Found in Translation: Interpreters Help Phoenix Rising Students Communicate
As anyone who has ever traveled to a foreign country knows, being surrounded by a language that you don't understand can be a challenge. That was the situation facing ten year old Kiyoko and eleven year old Mona when they arrived from Japan in May, 2011. Despite a nearly total lack of English, the siblings enrolled at the Phoenix Rising School, where they have continued this year.
As a new school, PRS does not currently offer E.S.L. classes, and during the first week of school, Language Arts teacher Sophie Sykes became concerned that the pair were not getting the help they needed to make lessons comprehensible. She asked for assistance from members of the local Japanese community, and the response was instant. The next day, interpreters Tsukumi and Naoko began to take turns, spending hours at school helping the children understand what was being taught and how to complete assignments.
"I cannot say enough about the two volunteers who are giving up their time to really make school an incredible experience for Mona and Kiyoko," says Sykes. "They're invaluable. For Naoko, the decision to help was simple. "I knew them, so when I heard they needed help, I offered to come here," she explains. The family comes from a town next to Naoko's in Japan, but they had never met each other before moving to Washington. Now, she says, "They are my friends. I love to play with them."
The interpreters' presence has made a big difference in how the children experience school. "It's gotten easier to communicate with friends," says Kiyoko. Mona agrees. "It's easier to understand." This week, both wrote their first paper in English, explaining the meanings of their names and how they do (or don't!) relate to their personalities. Sykes calls the experience "definitely a marker memorable moment." After she told Mona that his paper was beautiful, "He turned to me and said 'Thank you,' and he bowed. It was fantastic," she says.
"They could not have produced this paper without their translators," says Sykes. "I have a very full schedule with seventeen other students They need someone with them. I could never have done this." For Naoko, meanwhile, PRS is "so interesting. Every child is so beautiful," she says. "I have never seen such good children, not only in Japan but other places." Sykes is certain that with the ongoing support of their interpreters, the children will begin speaking English very soon.

- Deirma II: A religious extremists that destroyed many democratic powers granted by her predecessors by installing a theocracy society and enforcing the craziest interpretations of her church's doctrine. She was killed less than a year later by a mob afraid of a repeat of the Cataclysm of Rorolark after she tried banning all other ramaldian religions.
- Ralvan IV: A Illuminaire that was too afraid to act after the violent death of their predecessor. He abdicated after ruling for seven years.

Five years after being appointed Donuis committed suicide by Salva's Mercy, taking any of his responsibilities for his changes to the grave.

Nova's Finest Hour: ROM #24
[IMG]http://i29.tinypic.com/2lku2vt.gif[/IMG] rom 24
Writer: Bill Mantlo Layouts: Sal Buscema Mark Gruenwald Research
Joe Sinnott Finishes Jim Novak Letterer Ben Sean Colorist
Allen Milgrom Editor Editor in Chief: Jim Shooter
ROM helms a captured Skrull saucer, preset to find his home planet in the Golden Galaxy.
Who's ROM? Two hundred years ago the evil Dire Wraiths threatened the peace-loving planet, Galador. In their homeworld's darkest hour, a thousand brave, young Galadorians sacrificed humanity itself to become Cyborg Warriors, a last desperate line of defense. Though hopelessly outnumbered, these Spaceknights triumphed, and pursued the remnants of the Wraith horde across the universe. Now, alone in the Enemy's mightiest stronghold, on a backward planet called Earth, one Galadorian Cyborg Warrior faces his most awesome challenge.
His return through hyper space reveals a disturbing surprise: where is the Golden Galaxy? Reed Richards himself prepared the coordinates. Rom is no pilot nor scientist. "I am a warrior," he says, smacking the control panel," and I am lost in space! Or worse," we close-up his shudder, "—as the dire wraiths foretold, Galador no longer exists."
Sudden movement---a glow---figures converge upon the Skrull ship. Skimmer-mounted Syfon warriors follow their captain, Powerhouse..."and a brash Earth youth named---Nova!"
Like many neat cyber-heroes, ROM activates some internal function---in this case, the respirator---with an external dial or button, then summons his energy analyzer to determine the nature of his confronters. Rom's appearance often generates confusion in these flesh-based races, and here he is presumed, having failed to acknowledge transmissions somehow from the Syfon band, to be a hostile. Power house springs upon him to drain his power, bursting already with his own. His brief career in NOVA is outlined in four captions, across two panels wherein ROM clearly turns the tables and drains Powerhouse.
Nova calls the troops to encircle the intruder as he and ROM come to blows. While thrusting the young and powerful hero away he declares himself, not a Skrull as accused, but of Galador, and recently, Earth! Nova and Powerhouse now hear him out. His tale leads full circle through his banishment crusade with his Neutralizer and the vision seen upon the "Window of Worlds" that depicted Galador in ruins. Now they confirm he is not in fact there, but in the Andromeda Galaxy, at war with the Skrulls. Nova offers the aid of the Living Computers of Xandar to help him locate home.
They land on a quadrant of the four-planetoid super-structure and therein visit the Queen, Adora, Suzerain of all Xandar. "Hi, 'Dora" quips Nova, casual and bold. Rom's presence gains her attention, and she explains the keeper of said knowledge has become the Protector and joined the rest of the New Champions in pursuing the Skrulls, defeated, along with the Sphinx, in the pages of Fantastic Four 204-209. Nova and Powerhouse remained to safeguard Xandar, to little or no real action or news. Months have gone by now since he enjoyed Earthling company, and now in this idleness, to hear his many missed loved ones are, with his home planet, in danger from an invasion, as well? (While not identified, his supporting cast appears in cameo.)
Yet, the hour of joy arrives, with an ebullient messenger heralding the return of the victorious Nova Corp. Our Earth-created Nova feels futility, having stood sentry for months, away from home, and away from the victory as well. Rom's pondered how, at this point, the mission did not end on his world, leading him to this path. He cheers Nova: "Now you can return to Earth."
Crimbeuster, the Comet, Diamondhead, the Protector, the resident Nova Centurion---all stand aboard the bridge of the mile-long ship in orbit. As Nova, Adora and Rom watch, a beam transports the occupants. Their salute to the Queen, however, contains a shocking proclamation (and I could feel the fear of the populace in this terrible moment): they promise swift destruction to Xandar. Now they shift shapes into familiar Skrull forms, and with their laser rifles, begin to decimate the populace in the town square.
They are not, however, utterly defenseless; their spies had reckoned without Rom, whose Neutralizer drives a wedge into their ranks. Rom's optimism for Nova---who wishes to seek the Corps---runs low, but he grimly wades into the Skrull invaders, to buy Xandar time. They shift shape monstrously, but the Xandarians realize they've nothing left to lose and hurl themselves into the last stand effort.
Unless, that is, the skyward-streaking Nova can save the day.
Now, he flies, arcing heavenward into the outer reaches of the imperial dome. Empty skimmers drift ghostlike, his only clue about the escort Syfon Warriors and Captain Powerhouse. How could the Skrulls take out all the Nova Corps? Death ray stabs the pathway of the young hero; he looks into the viewport of the armed Nova Ship...and all doubt's erased bitterly that none other than Diamondhead commands the Skrulls. Nova sees through the silence: the villain's betrayed their New Champions confederation and sold out the Corp. Said villain calls for shields: "That young idiot's going to RAM us!!!"

It screams "Ca-cow!!!" and "Gyaaaah!!!" like the Red Bird, but smashes up all glass.
It splits like the Blue Bird but 7 instead of 3 birds, all with one of his colors as theirs.
It speeds up but 2 times faster than the Yellow Bird.
It explodes but 2 times bigger effect than Black Bird.
It drops an explosive egg like the White Bird but 3 instead of 1.
It reverses locations but breaks stone because of his speed.
It moans "Gruff!!" like the Big Brother Bird, but smashes up both glass and wood.
It inflates like the Orange Bird, but much larger and deflates after 3 seconds instead of just a few.
It will zap lightning at the nearest pig, electrifying the pig. Works on lightly/normally/heavily guarded pigs because the lightning will pass through it. You can only use it in Birdday Party and you will have to wait for half an hour to use it.
It will use out.
He is a rainbow square bird with hair similar to Azure Bird's and tail similar to Blue Bird. It also contains scarlet instead of indigo, which is found at the end of his body.

|Sgt. Delmon R. Bushaw
Sgt. Delmon R. Bushaw was born on August June 25,
1919, in Mellen, Wisconsin, to Frank Bushaw &
Mollie Albright-Burshaw. He was one of the
couple's five children. When he was two, his
family moved to Janesville where he lived at 1549
South Willard Avenue. He attended local schools,
and after high school, worked as a cook in a local
Following in the footsteps of his brother, John, Delmon joined the Wisconsin National Guard's 32nd Tank Company which was headquartered in an armory in Janesville. To get into the National Guard, he lied about his age.
As a National Guardsman Delmon was called to federal duty when the 192nd Tank Battalion was formed from National Guard units on November 25, 1940. Traveling to Fort Knox, Kentucky, the Janesville Tank Company was designated as A Company, 192nd Tank Battalion. Delmon and the other Guardsmen remained there for almost a year until they went on maneuvers in Louisiana.
Upon completion of the maneuvers, Delmon and the
other tankers learned that they were being sent
overseas. Although, where they were being sent
was suppose to be a secret, most of the men figured
that the code word "PLUM" meant
Philippines-Luzon-Manila. Delmon was given
eight day leave home to say his goodbyes and settle
any unfinished business. It was at this time
he married Lorraine Wilkenson.
The battalion traveled by train to San
Francisco. By ferry, they were taken
to Ft. McDowell on Angel Island. On
the island, they received inoculations and
physicals. Those members of the
battalion who were found to have treatable
medical conditions remained behind on the
island. They were scheduled to join
the battalion at a later date.
Gumain River, the tank companies
formed a defensive line along
the south bank of the
river. When the Japanese
attacked the position at night,
they easy to see since they were
wearing white t-shirts. It
was there the tankers noted that
the Japanese soldiers were high
on drugs when they
attacked. Among the dead
Japanese, the tankers found the
hypodermic needles and syringes.
The tankers were able to
hold up the Japanese for several
At some point Delmon was selected to go out on a
work detail. The name of the detail is not
known, but it is known that the POWs built runways
at an airfield. On the detail, Delmon came
down with an acute catarrhal fever which meant he
may have had a respiratory ailment. He was
sent to Bilibid Prison and admitted to the hospital
on May 24th and discharged on May 27, 1944. He
was returned to the airfield detail.
Later in July, Delmon was selected to be sent to
Japan. He boarded the Nissyo Maru on
July 17, 1944, at 8:00 A.M. The ship weighed
anchor, but from July 18th to 23rd the ship sat in
Manila Bay waiting for a convoy to form. It
sailed on July 24th at 8:00 P.M. as part of a
After being liberated, Delmon returned to the Philippines. After receiving medical treatment he was returned to the United States on the U.S.S. Gospar arriving at Seattle, Washington, on October 12, 1945. From Seattle, he returned to Janesville. He married, Lorraine Wilkinson, remained in the military, and rose in rank to Chief Warrant Officer. Lorraine passed away in 1977 and in 1978, Delmon remarried.
Delmon retired to Odenton, Maryland, on October 31, 1960. He died on January 13, 1980, in Maryland and was buried at Arlington National Cemetery in Arlington, Virginia.

By Scott Wiener
No other paper product evokes such hunger. The warm feeling of a pizza box on your lap as you copilot the family car makes anticipation peak for most 10-year-olds. The mere sight of one — or even better, a stack of boxes — hints at an impending celebration. It may be the only piece of cardboard that makes a mouth water.
The pizza box is one of those everyday items that seems ever unchanged, a constant in food transportation. But its technology has quietly evolved while most of us have remained distracted by the pie protected within. Upon closer inspection, the pizza box reveals an unseen story of the sometimes conflicting relationship between a package and the food it contains.
Ordering Out Is In
Although pizza boxes didn't become mainstream until a decade after World War II, early reports of the use of pizza boxes go back to the 1930s. Prior to that, flat paper bags served as the first transportation vessels for American pizzas, like the paper that wrapped around their Italian counterparts. Back in Italy, a pizza was much smaller than it is in most of the world today — about the size of a tortilla — because it was intended for consumption by a single person. It was a street food consumed by peasants and never needed much in the way of packaging. Pizza's move to America in the early 20th century, brought by a huge influx in Italian immigrants, greatly expanded the food's market and led to a need for larger packaging.
The postwar boom of the 1950s convinced many Americans to move from urban areas to the suburbs, where they learned to appreciate the growing convenience-food industry. Frozen TV dinners and Chinese takeout began as a novelty but soon became part of families' weekly dinner routine. The shape and customizability of pizza made it a perfect addition to the mobile food trend. As pizzeria orders increased, so did the need to stack multiple pies. The solution required ditching the flat paper bag in favor of a more rigid container. Early examples began as modified bakery boxes but came into their own as paperboard pizza boxes. This material, still in use today, is made from compressed paper about as thick as cardstock.
While this design does a decent job of housing the pizza as it travels from point A to point B, it has some shortcomings. First, the printing on these boxes is rather simplistic and inaccurate. Printer rollers don't get much cushioning from thin paperboard, so ink tends to smudge. Second, and functionally more important, the box's walls tend to buckle and gap, even without a pizza inside. Just imagine what happens when the box is loaded with a hot, steaming pie. Add to that the lack of structural integrity inherent in thin paperboard: It doesn't take much weight to collapse the lid, pushing it into direct contact with the pizza itself. (You've probably seen those tiny, white plastic "dollhouse tables" inside the box — that's the Package Saver, invented by Long Islander Carmela Vitale in the mid-1980s. The box wasn't good enough on its own; it needed some support to get the job done.)
Corrugation Nation
By the late 1960s, the American pizza industry shifted from urban Italian communities to the suburbs. That meant more pizza being made for more customers — and most of it was being delivered. But the paper industry was slow to respond to demands for a stronger container. It took a little company from Michigan called Dominos to convince their box supplier to develop a product made of corrugated paper.
In his autobiography, "Pizza Tiger," Domino's founder Tom Monaghan writes about developing a corrugated pizza container with a Detroit-based company called Triad. Corrugated paper is composed of a flat liner and a fluted medium. The latter is a wavy sheet of paper affixed to the flat liner with food-safe glue. Besides enhanced strength, corrugation also enhances insulation to keep the pizza hotter longer.
The Modern Box
The result is the box you know best — it's thicker and stronger than its paperboard predecessor and doesn't always need the little plastic dollhouse table. As a bonus, images print more sharply on corrugated than on paperboard because the corrugation provides cushioning for the printing rolls.
Alas, the trouble with insulation is that it leads to soggy crust. The steam that keeps the pizza hot leads to its downfall. The sad truth is that most consumers have grown accustomed to this tradeoff — but that doesn't stop inventors from trying to solve the problem. One novel approach enables the offending steam to escape. A corrugated paper company in India called Shree Krishna Packaging invented Ventit, a box with indirect ports that exhaust steam without losing heat. At trade shows, the company demonstrates its ingenious design by holding a lit incense stick inside the box. Viewers can see the smoke exit the box without the implementation of direct ports.
In a 2007 study, the Institute of Chemical Technology in Mumbai confirmed the company's claims that their design keeps food contents hotter than standard boxes. Blind taste tests by pizzeria customers back up these laboratory claims. But despite expressed consumer preferences for a box that would deliver the best pizza — even for a few more cents per box — food distributors are wary of the extra cost
B Flat
Old school pizzerias, particularly those in the northeastern U.S., tend to avoid change in fear of damaging their legacy. Corrugated pizza boxes are composed of a pair of flat paper liners sandwiching a wavy paper layer. The resulting peaks and valleys — or flutes — determine a box's thickness and strength. Flutes are labeled with letters that correspond to the order in which they were brought to market and also happens to match their thickness in descending order.
"B flute" boxes are the most common in New York pizzerias, but newer "E flute" boxes are thinner and cost less to ship. They even print better than thicker "B flute" boxes because their flutes are closer together, providing a more even surface. Even with all these advantages, most pizzerias in the New York area are stuck on B.
Such is not the case in Italy, a place known for design that integrates art and technology. Although they've had pizza much longer than their American counterparts, the Italians have only recently adopted the practice of take-out and delivery. With a younger pizza box industry, Italian pizza box makers have newer equipment that enables more detailed printing. Their pizzas are also smaller and less hefty than their American cousins, alleviating the need for thick boxes.
This combination of thinner boxes and newer equipment has led to an explosion of beautiful artwork on pizza box lids in Italy. They look more like paintings than disposable food containers. It's worth noting that these treasures reach the hand of the consumer after a purchase has been made, so the art comes as a surprise, rather than a tool for marketing.
Pizza boxes have long been a silent aspect of the pizza buying experience. We tend to overlook the box, relegating it to the dumpster as soon as the last slice disappears. All the while, innovators plug away at solutions to problems most of us don't even realize exist. Only recently are consumers waking up to the fact that the vessel can be just as important at the food it holds.
