|Re: geronimo-web.xml, container-config, container-specific namespaces
|Wed, 04 Jan 2006 18:19:50 GMT
Aaron, David, or anyone in the know :-) Maybe you can help me with this: I have a WADI demo webapp. To get it running with Jetty, I need a WEB-INF/geronimo-web.xml that looks like this: <web-app xmlns="http://geronimo.apache.org/xml/ns/j2ee/web/jetty-1.0" configId="wadi"> <context-root>/wadi</context-root> <context-priority-classloader>false</context-priority-classloader> <session-manager>org.codehaus.wadi.jetty5.JettyManager</session-manager> </web-app> To get it running with Tomcat, I have to have a geronimo-web.xml that looks like this: <web-app xmlns="http://geronimo.apache.org/xml/ns/j2ee/web/tomcat-1.0" configId="wadi"> <context-root>/wadi</context-root> <context-priority-classloader>false</context-priority-classloader> <manager>WADI</manager> <gbean name="WADI" class="org.apache.geronimo.tomcat.cluster.WADIGBean"/> </web-app> What I would like, is a single geronimo-web.xml that contains both Jetty and TC configs, merged. Do you know if this is possible, if so, would you mind pointing me in the right direction ? Much appreciated, Jules Aaron Mulder wrote: >David J, > >I thought when you added the separate Tomcat and Jetty namespaces, you >were going to remove the container-config section from the generic >geronimo-web.xml, but it seems that it's still there.

Types Of Student Loans
You can have Federal Student loans that are guaranteed by the Federal government. All Federal Student Loans are now made by the Department of Education and serviced by Navient or a collection agency such as Great Lakes or Melnet. If you have an older student loan, it may have issued by someone other than the Department of Education. There are also Perkins loans which are issued and serviced by the school. The final type of Federal Student loans are Parent Plus Loans.
The second type of student loans are private student loans. These are issued by companies other than the Department of Education. There are not any relief programs for private student loans. However, they do not have the collection authority that Federal Student Loans have. A private student loan cannot seize your tax refund and they must get a state court judgment against you to be able to garnish wages or bank accounts. There may be defenses to the collection actions taken by private student loan companies and, especially, collection agencies collecting on private student loans.
If You Don't Pay Your Student Loans
If you have Federal Student Loans, it is important that you get into a repayment program that you can afford. The agencies servicing Federal Student Loans have extreme collection powers. They can seize your tax refunds and garnish your wages without going through the state court. If they start a wage garnishment, there is no end date for the garnishment as there is for garnishments issued by state courts. In addition, the amount of your wages that they can garnish is higher than it is for a state court garnishment.
Repayment Plans
There are several repayment options for Federal Student Loans. Based on your income and the size of your family, you could qualify for a substantially lower payment plan. This payment plan must be renewed every year and can be modified if your income or family size changes. Since the payments are based on your family size as reported to the IRS, there are also things that you can do to lower the amount of your payment based on the way you file your tax returns.
I can assist you to determine the best payment plan for your circumstances and complete all the paperwork required to get you into that payment plan. At your initial consultation, we will determine the types of loans that you have and their current status. Then we will determine what is the best payment plan for you and what you may need to do going forward to reduce the payment even more. If your loans are currently in default, we will work on a plan to cure the default and get you on a repayment plan so your wages are not garnished and your tax refund is not taken.
However, you need to take the first step by scheduling your initial consultation. I will need to see your most recent Federal tax return and your most recent pay stub. I will also need any information that you have on your student loans. If you have an account with the Federal Student Loan Database, I will need your login and password to access your account. Likewise, if you have an account with your servicer, I will need your login and password to access that account. If you don't have accounts, we will create an account for you. However, you will need to be able to access your email to verify the account so bring your smart phone with you.
Call me today at 757-320-2010 and let's set you up with the lowest possible payment plan for your student loans.

RB Products "A.D.S." Automatic Damping System Set (Mugen MBX7)
|Low Price:
This is the optional RB Products "A.D.S." Automatic Damping System Set, for the Mugen MBX7. When setting up your shocks, there are a multitude of options and finding a perfect shock setup is critical for success on the track. With a variety of piston shapes, hole shapes and sizes, there are hundreds of possible combinations. When you combine this with oil weight and rebound settings, finding a dialed shock setup becomes time consuming and overwhelming.
A variety of companies tired to make progressive shocks, using pistons with floating balls, variable valving, conical holes and cone shaped pistons, but have never been successful in developing a true progressive rate shock. Until now! Developed and tested over two years in collaboration with Fioroni, the patented RB Products ADS system is an incredibly unique product that delivers unmatched progressive damping characteristics. So now, when you are tuning your shocks, the only thing you need to change is the shock oil and spring and you can eliminate the valving from the equation.
How Does it Work?
The patented ADS system features a unique inner sleeve that is fitted inside your existing shock body, with V-shaped cuts machined into the sides, combined with a solid delrin piston that does not have any valving. As the piston moves through the shock body, the oil is pushed into the cuts in the sides of the sleeve, allowing the piston to move through the oil without hydro-locking. The V-shape cuts in the side of the sleeve allows more oil to pass by the piston at the bottom of the stroke, and less oil to pass by as the top of the stroke. This provides a progressive and gradual increase in shock pack as the piston compresses, and allows the piston speed to increase as the shock rebounds.
- CNC Delrin piston
- Swiss 7075 T6 hard anodized aluminum inner sleeve
- Individually checked by hand for a perfect fit
- Patented RB Products design
- (2) Front shock sleeves
- (2) Rear shock sleeves
- (4) Shock pistons
This product was added to our catalog on May 26, 2016.
Ive had limited testing on bumpy track, a few large jumps, in high heat/humidity but they worked really well for the time I spent testing. There is no such thing as a damper that will keep a chassis from bottoming out if you miss the landing zone, or have too low a ride height, but what I did notice is it doesn't kick the front or the rear of the car up in the air by a bad landing (to a limit of course) or huge whole in the track (very useful if the track gets blown out on large race day crowd). As for normal cornering ability or heavy acceleration benefits...they may have been there but I focused more on judging the dampers in rough areas and jumps on the track.
The setup I used was Losi 90wt front, 70wt rear, and setting the rebound to 2/3 the length of the shaft at full extent.
Overall (just my opinion), I don't think they are going to make you faster on a smooth track, but are great benefit on those tracks that either get blown out or have technical sections where rough terrain is built in. Primarily, I believe the benefit comes from being able to drive through the rough stuff more aggressive than you normally would. Also, they tend to hide your over jumping or under jumping mistakes (to a certain point of course). Up to now Ive been using the Fioroni dual stage pistons with limited success; I prefer RB ADS on my Mugen x7.
For the price I would suggest people give them a try. RB ADS is a step forward in a better RC damper.)

French arms to Kurds 'decisive' in fight against IS: Hollande
French President Francois Hollande said his decision to supply arms to the autonomous Kurdish government was decisive in the fight against Islamic State jihadists in Iraq.
"I have decided to dispatch the necessary means and you have made the best use of it," he said in the Kurdish region, adding that this had been "decisive in reversing the balance of power."
Hollande, speaking alongside Kurdish president Massud Barzani, also pledged to take in some refugees fleeing the country temporarily.
"We will continue to follow with Europe our aid for the refugees," he said.
"We will set up a veritable humanitarian bridge and we will also treat the cases of families facing extreme situations who have links with France and who want to shelter with their relatives for the time-being," he said.
Hollande's trip was the highest-profile visit to Iraq since IS-led militants overran large parts of the country in June and sparked international concern over an expanding jihadist threat.

Season Nine
Episode 1: I Think I'm Gonna Like It Here
Dean: So, while you're healing my brother, can you feel and see everything?
Gadreel: Yes.
Dean: Can you turn that off?
Gadreel: Yes, but why would you want me to?
Dean: Well, me and Sam, we have a history and while I'm not above a little angel play, what we do in private is, um, well it's private.
Gadreel: You're speaking of the sweet nothings you whisper into his ear when no one else is around? I do have access to Sam's memories.
Dean: Oh, okay, well, we're just not gonna talk about this, then.
Gadreel: I find it somewhat… beautiful, the way you could drown in his eyes. The way his heated expressions before your coupling melts your heart. How his strong hands…
Dean: Now you just stop right there, I have a reputation.
Episode 2: Devil May Care
Crowley: Torture? Brilliant. Can't wait to see Sam in stilettos and a bustier. Really putting th into S and M.
Dean: Actually…
Sam: No, Dean, I'm not wearing heels.
Dean: But you're open to the rest?
Sam: Not for Crowley.
Dean: I wasn't talking about Crowley.
Sam: I guess I do kind of owe you for wearing the peasant dress, don't I?
Dean: You bet your sweet ass you do.
Crowley: I take it back, this might actually work. I may yet tell you everything just so you won't do that in front of me.
Episode 3: I'm No Angel
Dean: I'm gonna get whiplash.
Sam: What?
Dean: I said… I wanna lick ass.
Sam: …okay.
Episode 4: Slumber Party
Charlie: I kind of wish hunting was more… magical. Like in this one fanfic I read.
Dean: No, no, no. No fanfic. This is a fanfiction free zone.
Charlie: But it's really good! The incest is only kind of graphic and tastefully done…
Dean: No means no.
Charlie: You top.
Dean: I'm listening.
Dorothy: Go, I'll buy you some time!
Charlie: No, Dorothy, wait.
Dorothy: What?
Charlie: Dean, you beat this and I'll let you watch. You keep Sam off Dorothy, I'll let you videotape it.
Dean: Wait, what just happened?
Episode 5: Dog Dean Afternoon
Dean: Oh, wow, hey, I don't have the urge to sniff butts.
Colonel: That's not what I saw last night.
Dean: That wasn't sniffing and you know it.
Episode 6: Heaven Can't Wait
Sam: So, then what's the point, Dean? It's barely even a case.
Dean: That's why I'm just gonna go have a little look-see and we're not gonna waste a whole lot of manpower on a big pile of nada.
Kevin: In other words, a perfect excuse to bail out on research.
Dean: I don't see you offered to get under the table and make it more bearable.
Kevin: We've been over this, I don't swing that way.
Dean: Sammy?
Sam: I haven't been able to fit under a table since I was nineteen.
Dean: All right, then, I'll check you crazy kids later. Good times!
Episode 7: Bad Boys
Sam: Wait, wait, hold it right there. You really expect me to believe you were caught stealing peanut butter and bread?
Dean: Why the hell not?
Sam: First of all, by sixteen you'd been lifted porn mags for four years and hadn't been caught once. While I'm sure peanut butter and bread would be a little harder to hide, somehow I think you could have managed. Second, Dad had very specific rules on stealing. If you were caught shop lifting, he would have kicked your ass, not left you in jail. And, most importantly, I've seen your rap sheet, Dean. I know about the prostitution charges. I just didn't realize you went to a boy's home for it.
Dean: …so, like I said. I got caught stealing peanut butter and bread.
Episode 8: Rock and a Hard Place
Jody: 'Cept those that got it. Come on, you and Dean, that's somethin' special, don't you think?
Sam: Maybe, I don't know. He's been a little distant lately. I know he's not usually the romantic type, but it's always been a little different when we're alone together. Recently, it's just, it's like he has his guard up, like he thinks someone is watching and he has to slap my ass and go get a shower after instead of just laying there for a little while and… now that I'm looking at your face, Bobby didn't tell you any of this, did he?
Jody: Not a damn word.
Sam: Right, because when you said we had something special, I thought you meant…
Jody: Oh, I got that.
Sam: I'm just gonna sit here and pretend I didn't… you know.
Jody: You do that.
Episode 9: Holy Terror
Castiel: Ezikeal is dead.
Dean: What?
Castiel: He died when the angels fell.
Dean: Then who the hell has been listening in on me and Sam having sex?
Castiel: What?
Dean: Nothing, I just feel… dirty. And a little turned on, but mostly dirty.
Episode 10: Road Trip
Dean: So you're saying we're both a couple of dumb asses?
Castiel: I prefer the word trusting. Less dumb, less ass.
Dean: Less dumb, anyway. I seem to remember you preferring the ass part.
Castiel: That is… I see your point.
Episode 11: First Born
Sam: You're a terrible liar.
Castiel: That is not true, I once deceived and betrayed both you and your brother. You and I conspired together to convince Dean into sitting between us in the threesome and then underhandedly manipulated him into letting us double…
Sam: Okay, that's not the point. Cas, what's wrong?
Cain: Since when does the great Dean Winchester ask for help? Come on, that doesn't sound like the man I've read about on demon bathroom walls.
Dean: Really, I'm on their bathroom walls? So, uh, what else do they say about me?
Cain: A lot.
Dean: Hey, while we're waiting, I don't suppose you'd want to help me cross Father of Death off my bucket list, would you?
Cain: No.
Dean: Yeah, I didn't think so. Worth a shot.
Episode 12: Sharp Teeth
Garth: Dean? Sam? What is this, a hospital? Wait, am I in heaven?
Dean: Really? Garth, your idea of heaven is a lot more interesting than I would've given you credit for.
Sam: Dean…
Dean: What? The kid's got good taste, but no, this isn't heaven.
Episode 13: The Purge
Dean: Hey.
Sam: Yeah.
Dean: About what you said the other day.
Sam: I thought it didn't bother you.
Dean: No, I was just wondering if maybe we could be, uh, you know, 'strictly business with benefits.'
Sam: No.
Dean: Come on, Sammy, it's not like we have any other options around here.
Sam: I think me and my right hand'll be just fine.
Episode 14: Captives
Sam: Really, Dean?
Dean: What?
Sam: That's your third unanswered voicemail. You ever think maybe he's just not that into you?
Dean: Okay, first off, dude, everyone is that into me. I swung a three way with lesbians in Tulsa. If I wanted, Crowley would be my bitch. Second, he is our last confirmed link to Ms. Tran.
Episode 15: #THINMAN
Ed: If I tell Harry, he's gonna leave the Ghostfacers.
Sam: If you don't tell him, he's gonna leave anyway. Trust me here, secrets ruin relationships.
Dean: Really, Sammy? Anything else you want to share with the class?
Sam: I'm just trying to help.
Dean: No, you're just dragging our personal shit into this.
Sam: If the shoe fits, Dean.
Dean: Yeah, but the shoe doesn't fit. I never made up imaginary killers to keep you around.
Sam: Right, but you have tricked me into agreeing to be possessed by an angel.
Dean: Dude, you were dying! I didn't have a lot of other options.
Sam: I'm sure Ed here thought the same thing, that doesn't make it okay.
Ed: You are so right. Secrets ruin relationships.
Sam/Dean: Shut up, Ed!
Episode 16: Blade Runners
Snooky: Seriously? An exorcism? We had a deal.
Dean: Eh, well, maybe we could…
Sam: No, Dean, even you are above that.
Dean: Fair enough, continue.
Episode 17: Mother's Little Helper
Crowley: Takes a junkie to know a junkie. You just want to touch that precious again, don't you.
Dean: I do, god help me I do, but Sam just won't put out.
Crowley: I'm not talking about the Moose.
Dean: Yeah, but since you brought it up, you're gonna hear about it. I want to get my hands all over him, Crowley. I want to make love to him. I want to lay him down on a bed of roses and… come on, Crowley, get back here. I used to read Bobby's old romance novels, I could do this hours!
Episode 18: Meta Fiction
Castiel: Hold on, I'm sending you a photo of the symbol that drew all the angels in.
Sam: Yeah, um… wrong picture, Cas.
Castiel: My apologies, I'll resend it.
Dean: Dude, why do you have a picture of yourself naked on your phone?
Castiel: My human self was sentimental. I remembered the photograph of Sam in your room and thought perhaps, if we survived this, you would like to… have one of me.
Dean: …
Sam: …
Castiel: I know, it was foolish.
Dean: No, no! Not foolish. Definitely not foolish. Just, uh, why wait?
Sam: Don't do it, Cas.
Dean: Why the hell not?!
Sam: Oh, I don't know, maybe because I don't want to see Castiel in nothing but a trench coat every time I walk into your room? It's bad enough seeing myself up there all… naked and soapy without adding him to it.
Dean: You're just jealous.
Sam: Am not.
Dean: Are to.
Sam: Am not.
Castiel: I sense now would be a good time to hang up the phone.
Episode 19: Alex Annie Alexis Ann
Dean: So, she's a blood slave. We've seen it before vampires keeping people as pets. Human feedbags. Hey, uh, remember when we took that week up in Wisconsin, cabin in the woods, just you and me playing blood slave and vampire.
Sam: Yeah, Dean, not right now.
Dean: Why not? You said she knew.
Sam: And we're in the middle of a police station.
Dean: Whatever. Hey, Jody, you still got that cabin?
Episode 20: Blood Lines
Episode 21: King of the Damned
Dean: Well, that's the problem. See, you don't think anybody's lying, I think everybody's lying, and Sam here just wants to be a real girl.
Sam: *bitchface*
Sam: You don't bend that rule. You don't. We'll take him back to the bunker, figure out the spell. That's the way it's gotta be.
Crowley: He is not going back there with you. I know what you lot do in that bunker. I've heard the rumors.
Dean: Ah, Crowley, give us some credit. After what you did in my car last year, you really think I'm gonna wait till we get to the bunker?
Episode 22: Stairway to Heaven
Dean: That blade is the only thing that can kill Metatron and I'm the only one that can use it. So from here on out, I'm calling the shots. Capisce? Until I jam that blade into the douchebag's heart, we are not a team. This is a dictatorship. Now, you don't have to like it, but that's how it's gonna be.
Sam: Dean, wait…
Dean: What?
Sam: You… are really hot when you order me around like that.
Dean: Yeah? Well, here's another order. You have ten minutes to get cleaned up and in my room. I want you naked, in my bed, and we're using the handcuffs. In fact, if you're a really good boy, Sammy, I'll ask Cas to join us.
Episode 23: Do You Believe in Miracles
Sam: So, wait, now that you're a demon, does that mean you're full on evil, or maybe just kind of evil with a side of I still love my brother?
Dean: …
Sam: Come on, Dean, say something.
Dean: …
Sam: Crowley?
Crowley: Not my place, Moose.
Sam: Deeeeean?
Dean: …
Sam: Do you want to do that one thing I said I'd never let you do?
Dean: …
Sam: He's gonna make me wait, isn't he? He's gonna make me wait four months to find out.
Dean: …
Crowley: Looks like.
Sam: Son of a bitch. He is evil.
Dean: *smiles… evilly*

There is a chance in view of the progress the ticket has made, from the 75th position to the 14th position, more so if this progress is due to the cancellation of cnf tickets rather than better positioned waitlisted tickets. But there is only a day left before the day of journey. Let's hope for the best.

The city is a popular tourist destination with numerous historic buildings including the cathedral, the castle and the Medieval Bishop's Palace. Other attractions include the Museum of Lincolnshire Life.
The area of the business is very well served by the public transport system, with several bus stops within easy walking distance of the property. Lincoln railway station is approximately 2 miles away in the city centre. The area is also well served by the A-roads, with the business being located on the A15, which links to the national A-road and motorway networks.
Hilton Smythe is delighted to welcome to the market this well-established and busy Newsagent business, which is ideally located in Lincoln, Lincolnshire.
The business was originally established in 1970 and has been in our client's careful ownership since 2007. Only now is the business being offered to the market due to our client's desire for a well-deserved retirement. The business currently operates 6½ days per week and generates a turnover in the region of £288,400 per annum, with a gross profit of approximately 20%.
Our client offers a variety of goods including newspapers and magazines, greeting cards, confectionery, soft drinks, ice cream and tobacco products. Our client also offers 8 newspaper delivery rounds within the area and has accounts with Lincoln Prison, local hotels and care homes. The property boasts 32 sq. metres of floor space, is very well maintained and very well fitted out to suit the trade. The property was fully re-fitted 7 years ago.
A brand new Epos system has been recently installed.
The business has built up an excellent opportunity within the area for the high quality of the goods and services offered, which has resulted in a very loyal client base, with a high volume of repeat trade and word of mouth recommendations.
We feel the turnover could be increased by extending the opening hours. The business is currently manager run and a new hands-on owner would reduce staffing costs substantially. A new owner could also embark on a modest marketing campaign to promote the goods and services offered.
This is an excellent opportunity for a new owner, perhaps a husband and wife team or partnership, to take this already busy business to the next level; therefore, early viewing must come highly recommended to avoid disappointment.
Substantial ground floor premises in an ideal trading location, briefly comprising:
Newspaper and magazine display racking.
Ice cream freezer.
Double door chiller unit.
Single door chiller unit.
3 x greeting card display stands with drawers.
Perimeter shelving.
Serve over counter with EPOS cash register.
Confectionery displays.
National Lottery scratch card stand.
Tobacco gantry.
Hot drinks machine.
D.P.D. parcel account.
Payzone bill payments.
Office/store room:
Desk & chair.
Storage shelving.
On-street parking to front.
We are advised Leasehold:
Original lease length: 5 years
Rolling lease.
Next review: February 2017
The business is open:
Monday - Saturday 5.00am - 4.00pm
Sunday: 6.00am - 12.00pm
The business is currently manager run with 2 x part time staff members and 8 x delivery persons.
The business generates a turnover in the region of £288,400 per annum, with a gross profit of approximately 20%.

There is more to Zee Entertainment than just the flagship general entertainment channel (GEC). Its advertising revenues are well diversified — the mother channel now accounts for less than 60% of the company's advertising revenues, and less than 30% of its overall revenues.
The recent increase in number of GEC channels has been one of the key concerns of investors. In our view, this concern is overdone, as the company's well-diversified revenue stream would protect earnings even if the flagship channel's market share declines.
More importantly, subscription revenues, which account for 41% of the company's total revenues, are more stable than ad revenues, as they are less dependent on individual channels' ratings.
FICCI estimates the Indian television advertising industry's revenues at Rs80 billion in 2007. Of this, 25%, came from Hindi GECs. Further, the top two channels corner over 60% of this figure, which leaves Rs8 billion to be shared by all other GECs.
The road ahead
We expect Zee's subscription revenues to register 18% CAGR over FY08-11 to Rs12.3 billion. This growth will be driven by a revamp of the domestic cable distribution business and strong growth in the DTH subscriber base.
The stock has corrected by over 40% over the past ten months, weighed down by apprehension of competition from the imminent launch of three new channels. Additionally, expected losses of Zee Next (which is now to be hived-off) reduced earnings visibility for the company.
Zee is currently trading at a PE of 18.9x on FY09 and 15.7x on FY10. During the past five years, its one-year forward PE has averaged 27x. Even in FY05 and FY06, when ratings of Zee's flagship channel were the lowest, its one-year-forward PE averaged 15x.
Although the imminent launch of new competing channels and prospect of a slowdown in ad spends do warrant a lower multiple than the historical average, the current valuations do not capture its 17% earnings CAGR over FY08-11. We maintain ADD on the scrip and a one-year target price of Rs216 based on 18x FY10.

RFPT is 20 years old this October
The RFPT was 20 years old in October! So what are we planning to achieve over the next 20 years? We are currently considering a number of proposals and working on a strategic plan encompassing the next 20 to 200 years. Once we've agreed on the priorities - and the plan for the next 20 years - in the next few weeks, we will publish it here for all to see.
The AGM for the Rimutaka Forest Park Charitable Trust was held during the evening of Wednesday 8th October, in Wainuiomata.
Corporate volunteers
Bank of New Zealand staff from the Wellington Customer Contact Centre came to the Park for the day on Tuesday 10th June and planted miniature toetoe in the top car park and around the Education Centre and weeded some existing plants in the Catchpool Valley.
"We had a BBQ to sustain us all around lunchtime, then a few of the guys came and cleared some possum traps with me in the afternoon," said Trust secretary, Melody McLaughlin, "while the others continued planting and weeding".
A great time was had by all and they are all looking forward to doing it again utilising the 2 volunteer days BNZ allows annually for its employees to do so. (There was even talk of camping over in the adjacent camp grounds and doing the two days back to back!)
DoC Ranger, Becs Wolfe, was a great support in the exercise by helping with and organising the supply of plants and equipment. A Big "Thank You" to her and to the entire BNZ crew; See you all next year, we hope! (Photo Credit: Melody McLaughlin)
RFPT farewells one of its founders
May 2008: - We are really going to miss this wonderful,
hard-working fellow!
Robert William (Bill) Milne died peacefully in his sleep on May 14th 2008, at age 82. A huge crowd turned up at his funeral at St James Anglican Church in Lower Hutt, on Saturday 17th May, to support Elaine Milne and family and to say a fond farewell to Bill.
Bill Milne was a founding member of the Rimutaka Forest Park Trust, 20 years ago. About eight years ago, he and John Rush also initiated our hugely successful "Restore the Dawn Chorus" project in the Catchpool Valley.
Robert William (Bill) Milne - 3rd March 1926 - 14th May 2008
May, 2008:- Rimutaka Forest Park Trust Vice President, and "Restore the Dawn Chorus" veteran, Bill Milne, passed away at his home in Maungaraki , on the 14th May, 2008.
During the Second World War, Bill saw active service in the Royal New Zealand Navy on corvettes, minesweepers and other warships in the Pacific arena. In later civilian roles, he worked as a Wool Classer.
For decades, he was an active member of the Lower Hutt Branch of Forest & Bird Society of NZ and many other local conservation groups. Bill played a big part in the restoration of "original habitat" vegetation on Wellington Harbour's beautiful Matiu-Somes Island.
We will sincerely miss seeing Bill at our future Trust Committee and Kiwi Project meetings!
Matamua's Release
Our Firstborn, Matamua, was returned to the Rimutaka Forest Park on April 12th. He was placed into a burrow close to where his egg was originally retrieved under the auspices of the BNZ "Save The Kiwi - Operation Nest Egg" programme last year.
To see his photo gallery, please click here...
April, 2008:- Fourteen months after he was hatched from his egg at Pukaha Mount Bruce Wildlife Reserve, Matamua is home at last!
He was returned to the Rimutaka Forest Park area where he was conceived by his North Island Brown Kiwi parents, Waikiwianui (father) and Manaia (mother).
Matamua is another success story for the BNZ Kiwi Recovery, "Operation Nest Egg" programme, and our first offspring from the kiwis released in May 2006, at the Rimutaka Forest Park, as part of the Trust's Kiwi Project.
It was a warm, glittering autumn afternoon when Matamua arrived at the Wainuiomata Marae following his journey over the Rimutaka Hill from Mt Bruce in the Northern Wairarapa.
Darren Page, who has cared for Matamua since he was hatched in the Mt Bruce incubator, brought him to the marae in a specially ventilated crate.
There, Matamua was welcomed onto the marae by the local iwi and blessed in an informal, but moving ceremony spoken in both Maori and English.
A large crowd of supporters, volunteers and children were there to see the honoured guest, Matamua, before he was taken back to the Turere Valley from whence his egg was taken.
For some of these children and accompanying adults, it was the first time they had had a chance to see a live kiwi outside of a zoo, wildlife park, or on television.
For more photos and information about Matamua, check out his Photo Gallery here...
New Kiwi Offspring for Rimutaka Forest Park
January, 2008:- Rimutaka Forest Park kiwi have produced a second and third chick, following the hatching of Matamua in February 2007. Both the recently laid eggs were incubated at Department of Conservation's facilities at Pukaha Mount Bruce National Wildlife Centre. They hatched on 6 December and 5 January respectively. Both chicks did well at first, but the older chick, produced by Manaia and Tahunahuna, died at the New Zealand Wildlife Health Centre at Massey University in Palmerston North while a health problem was being investigated.
The other chick, fathered by Waikiwianui and from an egg thought to be laid by Potiki, is feeding itself and appears to be thriving. It will soon be transferred to Bushy Park, a predator free crèche facility for kiwi chicks near Wanganui, to be cared for in the wild while it grows to 1200g, large enough to fight off any stoat attack in the forest park.
Meanwhile Matamua, the first chick to be produced from the park last year, has grown to adult size, and will be released back into the park around March. Trust members are hopeful that more adult birds will be released this year to add to the eight kiwi now in the care of the trust.
Project co-ordinator Bill McCabe says the project has a bright future. "With the successful breeding of three pairings, and possible additions to the adult population, we can expect the kiwi population in the park to flourish."

This extended update into Vertu Motors dives deeper into the valuation calculation along with recent activity from the company.
Historic growth
- Averaged 16% per annum growth in revenue. 2008-16.
- Averaged 13% per annum growth in E.P.S. 2008-16.
- Averaged 17% per annum growth in total units sold. 2012-16.
Return on tangible capital employed
Vertu Motors operating within the Auto & truck dealership industry is prone to many capital expenditures and leases on dealership property. Nonetheless, the company still operates with an acceptable ROTCE of 16%.
Enterprise Value / E.B.I.T
An EV / E.B.I.T of 7.3x is certainly a fair premium price and boarder-line cheap for this operation, especially considering the acceptable ROTCE of 16% and the consistently strong free cash flow generation.
Price / Earnings – Price / Book value
With normalised P/E and P/BV of 8.4x and 0.89x respectively, Vertu motors is certainly peaking on the side of cheap. An investment at these premiums to earnings and discount to book value provides a wave of safety against paying too much for this operation, especially in today's market levels.
Vertu's Valuation "DCF"
Vertu Motors valuation remains the same and calculated using a discounted future free cash flow model. The model imposes an Indicated intrinsic valuation of Vertu motors at today's present value to be £ 0.90 per share, equating to £ 355 Million for the entire company.
The discounted cash flow valuation (referred to as "DCF") uses Vertu's average free cash flow over the previous 10 years. A growth rate of 5.6% was then applied to estimate the next 10 years rate of growth. This is a conservatively estimated growth rate based on the expected growth for the entire industry (Although it is likely Vertu will grow faster then its industry). Finally, a 7% discount rate to present value was applied. This discount rate considers:
- Dividend record
- Capital structure
- Long-term prospects
- Historic management performance
- Risk free rate (10 year government gilt)
- Opportunity cost rate (FTSE 100 earnings yield)
Why use a DCF model ? Explained in Berkshire Hathaway's 1992 Annual letter (under common stock investments subtitle).
Waiting Period
Using estimated future growth rates from Vertu's historic E.P.S average compounded rate of 13% and the estimated growth rate of the entire industry of 5.6%, we can estimate how long a waiting period an investor today would require patience for to reach Vertu's Indicated intrinsic valuation (excluding shares repurchases or major dividend changes).
Recent activity
Market power
Between 2012-2016, Vertu Motors recognised an average growth in revenue by 22%. During the same 4 year period, recognised average growth of 17% in total units sold. This disparity could be argued that over the past 4 years, Vertu has been able to raise selling prices by 5% on average. This rate is superior to the rise in inflation over the same period and therefore can suggest some degree of market power, with support from alternative service related (after sales) revenue streams. Nonetheless, this is a positive sign.
Capital expenditures
Vertu's board has reported it is confident that a significant decline in capital expenditures will be reported by FY 2019. As completion of the Jaguar Land Rover dealerships will see reductions in required capital expenditures. This would also see an increase in the ROTCE and the free cash flow generation of the company. Interim report
Growth strategy
Vertu Motors remains committed to its organic growth strategy of acquiring distressed and consolidating dealerships across the UK and turning them into profitable franchises.
Most recently (2016 Interim report) Vertu purchased 11 new dealerships ranging from Mercedes Benz's to Honda. These purchases and others have added significant long-term growth potential to the company and brings total dealerships to 129.
Operational performance
After-sales services still remains the company's highest gross margin product and increasingly contributes to rises in revenue. All segments of the company increased in volume sales, expect for new cars, which Vertu and the Auto industry expects to see a slight decline in new car resignations in 2017. Nonetheless, the prospects for Vertu Motors remains balanced and continued performance will ensure this company provides an excellent return over time.
Thank you for reading,
Jordonlee W. Smith

I don't know why people hate on GNOME Shell so much:
I am convinced that Gnome has no future. It will soon be pushed into obsolescence by its own suicidal design. For those who want traditional, there's Cinnamon or KDE. For those who want, pseudo-touch, there's Unity. For those who want touch, there's Android. Which leaves Gnome 3 nowhere and with nothing. An idea that came to solve world hunger. On planet Mars.
Ouch. Just…ouch. I understand that GNOME 3 is still new and funny-looking and trying to make friends out on the playground and all, but to say that its design is suicidal, well, that's just silly.
The real problem here isn't with GNOME's core design or usability. It's designed well, and it's quite usable as of version 3.6, even though there are an awkward number of works-in-progress to be finished. I use it for my day-to-day, thank you very much, Ubuntu GNOME Remix, and I'm convinced, personal preferences aside, the main obstacle facing GNOME 3 is the unnecessary nature of its inception (and not a total lack of usefulness). There was no good reason to throw out the GNOME 2 desktop paradigm. GNOME 3's "overview" metaphor isn't necessarily better or more efficient than the tried-and-true taskbar method. It's merely…different. It works just fine (and I think GNOME Shell does it better than Ubuntu's Unity, at the moment), but I suspect the drastic change was more for the sake of change than it was a response to droves of longtime GNOME users demanding desktop ascension.
Nevertheless, here we are. GNOME has undergone puberty, and its younger siblings, MATE and Cinnamon, aren't being mature about it. They're too busy laughing and pointing fingers at the zits, the newfound body hair to notice the inner beauty…or the sexy new Tay Zonday voice. Apples and oranges, haters and fanboys.
Why the haters are wrong:
Why the GNOME fanboys are wrong:
I'm not that big a fan of UI developers' deciding to apply tablet interfaces to traditional desktops / laptops. Ideally, a desktop should have a desktop-specific UI, and a tablet should have a tablet-specific UI. But if this is how it's going to be, if this is our point of GNOME return, then GNOME 3 seems to be a comfortable middle ground. And, in light of the massive train wreck that is Windows 8, I suspect there's more love for GNOME 3 than the haters will let on, because even Cinnamon, designed to thumb its nose at GNOME's sexy new body, has recently implemented its own "expo" and "scale" overview modes. ;)

You know to which film this essay refers. Don't pretend you don't. And don't pretend you don't like Diana's comment down below: "This is a cult classic in itself." ;)
Update: It seems the ENE card reader (CB-712/4) in my Acer Aspire 5100-5674 doesn't work too well after all. Two of my 256mb SD (Secure Digital) cards mount / work just fine; my 2gb SD card mounts, but gives me I/O errors whenever I try to copy to or from it. I have yet to receive any feedback concerning the problem, so I can only assume the Linux ENE drivers don't yet (properly) support SD cards larger than 256mb(?).
* * *
Preliminary thoughts on Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy Gibbon): a reasonably worthwhile upgrade, if not for the security fixes, then for the under-the-hood updates, as well as the fabulous software repository. And GNOME 2.20.
Wireless / video card configuration is now as simple as checking a pair of boxes in the "restricted drivers" dialog—if you're savvy enough to figure out that that's what you need to do. Unfortunately, GNOME isn't very helpful in this respect. Upon first logging in, a panel icon informed me, erroneously, that both my wired and wireless connections were enabled; this didn't necessarily mean that I was able to go online. It turns out I first had to enable the appropriate "restricted drivers" for my Broadcom chipset—but before I could do that, I had to make sure there was a working Internet connection (read: catch-22!), and I had to enable the proper repository.
Then I could enable the restricted / illegal / immoral drivers in question. For moderately experienced Linux users, the process is a yawn; for newbies, a pop-up box or informational tool-tip would be of great benefit. Better yet: A clear, concise "getting started" sheet. Maybe that will come in a future Ubuntu release…
As with Ubuntu 7.04, my laptop's sound system (Realtek HD Audio) works great with 7.10. Better than with the pre-installed version of Windows Vista that came with it (despite having DMA enabled, the latest audio and video card drivers installed, Vista's sound system cracks and creaks during high network activity). And my built-in ENE flash card reader is finally supported! Which means Acer Aspire 5100 owners are only a single piece of hardware away from having a fully-functional, Linux-based laptop. The straggler? Why, Acer's OrbiCam, of course. There's a bit of a fuss in the forums about whether or not this device will ever be supported out-of-box, and whether it's even worth the hacking time. The state of video in Linux is still primitive. Most people recommend buying a supported USB camera; since I'm a starving writer, I'll continue to stick it out with Vista, which, despite its various eccentricities, supports all my hardware, and hasn't crashed on me.
As of yet. ;)
Lunapark6 has a more in-depth review here:
Mint. It flavors your toothpaste, makes peppermint patties all the more enjoyable, and now it powers your PC. I installed the Ubuntu / GNOME-based Linux Mint 3.1 on an Acer Aspire 5100-5674 laptop in late September, and have been using the system for about two weeks without too many hiccups. Here's the good, the bad, and the ugly.
The installation process went without a hitch and took about half an hour. I opted to use the entire hard drive, so it beats me how effective Mint's partitioning tool is. Upon restart, I was presented with your typical log-in screen, and was pleasantly surprised to find that my laptop's default screen resolution of 1280×800 was recognized.
I logged in and started performing the usual post-op tasks, starting with 3D drivers for my video card (ATI Radeon Xpress 1100). For this, Mint provides an everyman's tool: Envy.
Choosing the "Install the ATI driver" option resulted in the proper video drivers being downloaded and installed (luckily I'd already plugged into my wired network, else the script surely would have come down with a case of the bends). Upon restart, I fired up a terminal and ran the ol' "glxgears" command, and all was well—at ~1500fps.
Sound worked without nary a pop or scratch. Thanks to a Python script provided in the Mint forum, my built-in Broadcom wireless card works, though after an hour or so of surfing the Web, I had my first system freeze-up in two weeks. This may or may not be related to wireless drivers; I'll have to wait and see if the problem recurs.
Two pieces of hardware that refuse to play nice: the ENE flash card reader and the Acer OrbiCam. The card reader will supposedly be supported by an upcoming version of Ubuntu; I haven't looked too deeply into the webcam problem as I'm not a webcam kind of guy. I suppose it would be nice to have if a 19-year-old cheerleader named Ashley wanted to cyber. :P
On the desktop side of things, the included GNOME 2.18.1 is its usual minimalistic self, save for the inclusion of the Mint Menu:
…which strikes me as an attempt to keep up with Windows Vista's beefed-up Start menu. Ultimately, I don't think it's worth replacing the standard (and quite efficient) GNOME main menu unless you specifically prefer the Vista-ish style.
On the topic of GNOME, I should point out that in a previous article, I offered a list of annoyances that kept me from using GNOME as my primary desktop. Let's see what's changed, if anything:
Overall, Mint has satisfied my lust for a good office system that lets me listen to MP3s while I work or watch videos during my lunch break. My laptop's boot time is about 60% faster than it was using Vista, and the odd audio-versus-network overhead problem that caused my sound to skip in Vista is blissfully gone in Mint (I suspect this is the case with most modern Linux distributions). The included audio and video codecs work out of the box—though Firefox tends to crash often with the Flash plugin installed. But that's always been the case with Flash in Linux, and it will most likely continue to be the case as long as Adobe refuses to treat their Linux presence as more than just an afterthought.
But I digress. ;)
M.S. Sutton's new novel, Central Park, in the Fall, is a satisfying read all around. Pap, the main character, starts off in your average everyday post-apocalyptic wasteland inhabited by telepathic tabbies and psychotic traders. But it's not all fun and games: Pap's baby sister is soon kidnapped, his caretaker killed, and there's a sinister presence slowly devouring the very souls of all who dwell within the city. Naturally, it's up to Pap to save the day—or, rather, the universe. With the help of a crotchety witch and wizard duo, our teenage hero discovers that he must learn to bend the rules of space and time if he's to make things right. And he does bend the rules. If one world doesn't agree with him, he simply steps into another, past and present, in a game of cat and mouse that will ultimately pit him against the most evil of all evils.
There's a lot here that will attract teenage readers and RPG gamers, though Central Park packs enough of a punch to lure older readers as well. Fans of furry / anthro lit will get their kicks from Eona, Pap's humanoid love interest—and there's enough humor amidst the horror to take the edge off an otherwise ominous premise. The plot is not overly weighted by philosophical details; likewise, as this is a dark fantasy novel, there is gore, but it's added as a garnish.
Overall, a freaky-fun and fulfilling treat from M.S. Sutton.

It turns out I don't hate Linux as much as I did in 2005, which was unquestionably a year of trial and error. I'd been wanting to shift from Windows to Linux, and had subsequently tried SuSE, Fedora, Yoper, and Ubuntu 5.04—all of which stank in one way or another. When I got around to downloading the Ubuntu Linux 5.10 (Breezy) ISO, I was cautiously hopeful: Ubuntu 5.04 had been the least-painful of my Linux experiences, and while it hadn't been that bad, it hadn't been that good either. Well, it was good, it just seemed more a sort of bridge between Warty and the (then) forthcoming Breezy—which is, in my opinion, the closest thing to Linux Zen I've ever experienced.
The installation process went smoothly. Though it's all done in text mode, most of it is automatic, with only a few questions regarding username and password, keyboard layout, date / time, etc. On my somewhat ancient 1.33ghz Athlon, the whole process took about 20 minutes, at which point I was presented with a warm, cheery log-in screen.
Yep. No restart. All ready to go, just like that.
With the exception of a DVD-ROM drive DMA issue, Ubuntu detected and set up all of my hardware without a hitch. According to my xorg.conf file, my ATI All-in-Wonder 128 Pro has 3D acceleration enabled; installing and getting my ass raped in Quake 3 Arena has confirmed this. My Creative SoundBlaster Live! card sounds crisp and clear, no pops or crackles. My Internet connection was a no-brainer—DHCP was all ready to go upon first log-in; all I had to do was start Firefox and I was online. Even the screen size, refresh-rate, and color depth of my LCD monitor was dead-correct (unlike other distros, which tend to leave too little or too much space at the edges of the screen). Now, all of this is probably due to the fact that my hardware is almost 5 years old—old enough for appropriate drivers to have trickled down through the open source hierarchy.
I can't complain.
The two things that strike me the most about Ubuntu: the simplicity of the desktop, and, well, the color scheme. I'm a minimalist, so naturally the more recent incarnations of the GNOME desktop have appealed to me. I've used KDE many, many times before, and each release just seems more and more cluttered with features that, while useful, are more often distracting. GNOME in Ubuntu is simple, elegant. And as for the rather bold step of defaulting to warm, earthy colors (instead of standard grays and blues), I was turned off at first, but as I went along, it grew on me. It might be a psychological placebo, but I've found that my mood, while doing day-to-day work with Ubuntu, has been more positive, overall. There may be something to this…
Let's talk about GNOME. This time around, thank God, Ubuntu's developers have decided to discard the "spatial" Nautilus element and revert to a more familiar (and more effective, in my opinion) file-browsing style where all your navigational needs take place in a single window. Also helpful (and also missing from Ubuntu 5.04) are the "breadcrumbs" in the location bar. You can can check your directory location with a quick glance instead of having to click a menu at the bottom of the window.
Something new (at least, for those of us coming from the Red Hat camp) to get used to is the "sudo" command. By default, Ubuntu creates a single user during installation time and uses that person's password as the root password. Supposedly this adds a layer of security so that adventurous newbies don't go logging in as root and accidentally deleting a precious system folder or three. Most of the time, this works just fine, and when you do need to gain some administrator privileges, a dialog box conveniently pops up.
Surprisingly, with this release, I can't say a damned thing against Ubuntu's font rendering. Put simply: They're beautiful. TrueType fonts are also supported, and they look darned tootin'. Really.
Seeing as this is a Windows world in which Linux lives (and not the other way around), I must point out some pet peeves.
Firstly, by default, DMA wasn't enabled for my Sony DRU-710A optical drive. Granted, DMA can be dangerous for drives that don't support it, but these days the overwhelming majority of optical drives do, and, well, I guess I've gotten used to Windows XP's daring tendencies when it comes to enabling DMA by default.
Getting my drive to use DMA involved using the
sudo hdparm /dev/hdc
command to get information on my DVD drive. Then I had to edit my hdparm.conf file
sudo gedit /etc/hdparm.conf
and add the following lines at the bottom:
/dev/hdc { dma = on }
This is a less-than-eloquent way to go, but upon reboot my optical drive was using DMA and I was able to perform a little happy-dance.
If you've ever had trouble using Kino before, I'm sorry to report that it won't work any better this time around—especially in the video capture department. I'm able to plug in my Mini-DV camcorder via Firewire and capture using dvgrab (a command-line app), but Kino crashes every time I try to capture with it. My Logitech webcam works perfectly though. Go figure.
Other annoyances are small, such as Nautilus' file properties dialog. When working with folders that contain other folders and files, there's still no way to choose between single and recursive permission changes. And even though I love how good Ubuntu renders fonts, it's not readily apparent, out of the box, how to install your own fonts. This can be done simply by copying the fonts you want to install into the ".fonts" folder (press CTRL+H in Nautilus to show hidden files) in your home directory, but it would be nice to have a little graphical installer accessible, say, via the System or Applications menus. And what's up with Nautilus not being able to remember if you had it maximized upon closure? Ah, well….
Ubuntu Linux 5.10 is a slick distribution that, despite the usual small inconsistencies, works very well out of the box—as long as your hardware is supported, and as long as you stick with GNOME (KDE for Ubuntu is available, but it's a minefield of frozen windows and crashed apps—beware!). If you want KDE, go with Kubuntu. If you're willing to work with that gnomish foot we've all come to know and love, Ubuntu will serve you well.
Now then, Windows users: I can feel your anger…it makes you stronger. Come to the dark side.
The world has, since the inception—intentional or otherwise—of humankind, always been a dubious plane of existence. You'd be hard-pressed to find an author, poet, artist, musician, politician, holy man, or everyman who has never spoken out concerning the human condition, from the tiniest fib to the most horrific act of genocide. Newspaper columnists, Sunday preachers, eastern philosophers all dissect the meaning of life in their various fashions—but Jeremy Shipp's Vacation (see web site), a first-person tour de force that takes place in an alternate universe and/or future-in-the-making, actually takes the human condition and turns it inside out.
On the surface, Vacation is about a disgruntled English teacher named Bernard Johnson who goes on Vacation (yes, proper capitalization) with an ex-student, once-male, now-female friend and discovers the world is not what he initially thought it to be.
Okay. Simple enough premise—you see it all the time in various forms of literature (well, maybe without the sex change). Peel away that superficial layer, though, and you soon find yourself entangled in a labyrinth of spiritual testing and social commentary unflinchingly portrayed by Shipp's characters. In this world, society exists in two major flavors: the Tics and the Meeks, the former being the well-to-dos of the industrialized nations, the latter being the poor, the exiled. Using this metaphor, it quickly becomes obvious the Tics are our own pop culture, the pill-popping, credit-card-wielding, overfed, and over-stimulated masses who have been shielded from the terrible truths of the world in a sort of global propaganda scheme to bolster big business. The Meeks are, well, everyone else—a grassroots conglomerate of militants who have cleansed their bodies and minds of all social poisons. Somewhere in between is the Garden, an external haven lead by Noh, who seeks to seed truth back into the world, one mind at a time.
Bernard's adventure plays out in the classic escapist fashion—on crack. Indeed, much of his transformation has to do with the altering of his mind, the skewering of his perspective, so that he may glimpse the dream he's been living from the outside. He goes on Vacation, falls in love, becomes a tool for the Meeks, and ultimately helps to realize Noh's vision of social revolution—but don't expect any of this to be A-B-C, for the strength of Shipp's narrative lies in his ability to toss the ball to his characters and trust that their decisions, their reactions will guide the story true. The underlying meaning is present throughout, but it is quite obvious from the start that you, the reader, are just as responsible as Bernard in coming to your own conclusions.
Shipp's style in Vacation demands an agile approach, as various scenes shift seamlessly between dreams and reality—often without warning. I'm reminded of S.P. Somtow's Riverrun Trilogy: one quarter real, three quarters surreal. Considering the concept, I can't imagine it any other way.
Vacation is a potent social theory, a spiritual hopscotch from start to finish. With interesting scenarios and thought-provoking dialog, it is a compelling reason for fans of psychological fantasy to look up Jeremy Shipp.

We drove out to Page Arizona to photograph Antelope Canyon and then afterwards we headed over to Horseshoe Bend. Unfortunately that meant we got to Horseshoe Bend during midday, not the best time to photograph it but atleast we did not get that deep dark shadow looking over the canyon that you get when the sun is rising / falling behind. So all in all was quite pleased with the lighting for the time we reached the top.. although it was tough work getting to the top with that burning midday sun.
Horseshoe Bend is a horseshoe-shaped meander of the Colorado River located near the town of Page, Arizona, in the United States.
Horseshoe Bend is located 5 miles (8.0 km) downstream from the Glen Canyon Dam and Lake Powell within Glen Canyon National Recreation Area, about 4 miles (6.4 km) southwest of Page.
It is accessible via hiking a 1.5-mile (2.4 km) round trip from U.S. Route 89, but an access road also reaches the geological structure, as it is part of a state park. Horseshoe Bend can be viewed from the steep cliff above.
The overlook is 4,200 feet (1,300 m) above sea level, and the Colorado River is at 3,200 feet (980 m) above sea level, making it a 1,000-foot (300 m) drop.

|"The Ultra Dudes"
|Storm Hawks Episode
|Episode No.
|Air Date
|30 March 2009
|Episode List
"The Ultra Dudes" is the forty-seventh episode of the Storm Hawks
While the Storm Hawks return to Terra Tropica to investigate the temple Stork found there, Finn and Radarr are sent off on a solo mission for Cooking Crystals so Finn doesn't cmpromise their stealth mission. Finn lands on a Western-style terra and enters a saloon, where he angers a four-armed bandit and is challenged to a draw. Finn defeats the bandit, earning the respect of the townspeople. The bandit swears revenge on Finn. Elsewhere, the Storm Hawks reach the temple, only to find Ravess there instead of the doorway or the monster. Disgruntled by her banishment, she tells them that the door leads to the far side of Atmos, but without the key Cyclonis cannot open it, on the western terra, Finn's ego gets the better of him and he makes his own squad called the Ultra Dudes, teaching them useless tricks. When the bandit returns with his Murk Raiders allies, Finn confesses that everything he taught them was useless. The Ultra Dudes, however, still have faith and want to defend their home, but naturally cannot do much against the Murk Raiders with what Finn taught them. Finn comes to their rescue after some guilt tripping from Radarr. The Ultra Dudes manage to defeat the Murk Raiders with the help of the townspeople. Finn challenges Captain Scabulous to a draw, which Scabulous cheats at, though Finn wins when the townspeople step in. Finn returns to the Condor and is glad that he is not the leader of the Storm Hawks, seeing as there is so much work to it.

An internist is a physician who focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of conditions that affect the adult population—both acute and chronic.
These doctors are often who adults see as their primary physicians because they treat a broad range of illnesses that do not require surgical or specialist interventions. They also work to help a patient maintain optimal health in order to prevent the onset of disease.
In addition to treating the common cold and flu, internists also treat chronic diseases like diabetes and heart disease.
A gastroenterologist is a specialist in diagnosis and treatment of conditions involving the digestive/gastrointestinal (GI) tract. These doctors are experts on how food moves through the digestive system and is chemically broken down, with nutrients being absorbed and waste excreted. You might see this kind of doctor if you are experiencing any number of stomach issues, some of which might be severe diarrhea, irritable bowel syndrome, hemorrhoids, ulcers, acid reflux, Crohn's disease and more.

Information about group practices
What is a Group Practice?
According to The Medical Group Management Association, a group practice is any relationship between three or more physicians who share facilities, expenses, profits and other resources like support staff and equipment.
Group practices tend to fall into two categories: those that organize around a particular medical specialty and those that encompass several specialties like East Boston Neighborhood Health that specializes in internal medicine.
Why Group Practice?
As medicine became more complex in the twentieth century, the need for group practices made more sense. Physicians found it impossible to know everything about the emerging drugs and technologies on the medical landscape. In addition, the cost of providing a full range of diagnostic services, such as tests and X-rays, in one location became prohibitive to the individual practitioner. Hence, doctors from various disciplines began to team together in order to provide more comprehensive care to their community of patients.
Benefits of Group Practice
- Access to doctors from various disciplines for referrals and advice
- Better coverage on weekends and off-hours
- One-stop clinics for comprehensive care and testing
