M Initial Gathering at Cedar City Em-
K braces Three Counties and
H Seven Com. Clubs.
; v Completed Organization Will Em-
w brace Commercial Bodies of
' Millard, Beaver, Iron, Washing-
m ton, Kane and Garfield Counties
If Today at 2:30 p. m., delegates from
E Commercial clubs of seven communi-
B ties in Beaver, Iron and Washington
E counties met in the Public Library
K auditorium in Cedar City. The pur
ge pose of the meeting was to organize a
m Commercial body representative of
southwestern Utah. The cities rep-
M resented at this initial mooting were:
1 M Beaver, Milford, Minersville, Paro
, 'H wan, Cedar City, Saint George and
j Enterprise. Tho clubs of Kane, Gar
f , Held and Piute counties wcro invited
... p to the gathering, but no delegates ap
E, pearcd.
1 'j The first move was to appoint S. J.
' wf Foster of Cedar City temporary
L chairman, with Mr. Jorgenson of
j, Milford as temporary secretary.
1, Since Milford had initiated the
S movement for affiliation, C. C. Sloan,
V president of tho Milford club, and
jc " county comissioner of Beaver county,
fc was asked to explain the object of tho
f call. Mr. Sloan outlined tho necesV-
sity of wider publicity for southern
Utah, referred to Idaho as on cxam-
p plo of tho press agent's work and Cal-
V such a club would open a strong, well
tfi planned campaign for tho advertisc-
i-sr-5 - 'jifent'of this section and informed the
meeting that Beaver county had a
" fund for advertising' purposes and.
' that ho personally would move to put
some of that fund at tho disposal of
' , such an organization as was planned.
i ' W. H. Leigh and John P. Fuller of
a ; the Cedar Commercial Club wero both
"' , asked, for their views, and both spoke
'V in favor of tho organization.
' Hon. WHford Day of Parowan was
$ asked to express an opinion and made
In strong argument for the project.
Hon. Joseph S. Snow of St. George
was called to tho floor and aroused
" ' much enthusiasm among the delegates
for a united southwestern Utah. Mr.
i - Snow enlivened his remarks with tho
' statement that the northern part of
-' the state did not know there was any
territory south of Nephi. A voice from
the audience amended this to "14th
South," and Mr. Snow accepted the
amendment amid hearty laughter on
tho part of the delegates. This state
ment was made to arouse the dele
gates to the necessity of this section's
doing its own publicity work, rather
than waiting for other sections to do
it for us. Theso southern counties, he
contended, can furnish the world any
thing that lies under soil, can raise
anything that grows on top of soil,
and holds within its borders scenery
unmatched in any other corner of the)
nation. He said that these counties
had been advertised more in the Insif
three years than in all tho thirty years
(preceding, and that as a result theiy
had dovelopcd at tho rate of lOOTo
per year.
Delegate McShane of Beaver then
,, moved that an organization bo formed
I to advertise and look after tho inier-
- -csts of the counties represented. Bc-
3 oro this motion was considered, how-
-ever, Ass't Sec'y Smith of the Salt
BS Lake Commercial club was introduced
II and stated that he had been sent to
ffj tho meeting by the Salt Lake Com-
- W mercial club to assist the organiza-
Kg tion in any way possible. He also
H read n resolution passed by the club
H authorizing and instructing him to
H . undertake that mission. He announced
B tho trip of the Wholesalers to be
frgqde soon over this section and"ex-
B "t gained that tho object of the trip'was
w '' mn'te no. business men of Salt
K Lako acquainted with the country in
n which their business Jics.
S McShane's motion was then put and
la carried, and was followed by another
H motion by Mr. McShane that a com-
n mittee bo appointed to consist of one
Si member from ench club represented,
mfi to draft n program or plan of organi-
n zation. The motion carried and each
g delegation appointed a member of the
Ml committee. A recess was then taken
jjfj while this committee formulated the
M following tentative plan:
in 1. That there should be quarterly
U meetings of tho Board of Governors
K of the proposed federation.
2. That the secretaries of the vnr-
HJ ious local clubs should form the ex

Old Folks Receive Honor and En
tertainment at Utah's Big
Birthday Fete.
The big Pioneer Day Celebration in
Cedar went off as per last week's an-
nounccment, except that the showery
afternoon did not allow the old folks
to mako their projected trip to Enoch.
The program of the morning meet
ing was appropriate, very interest
ing and inspiring. The history of
the settlement of Cedar City, given
by Miss Agnes Brown is offered in
full in another column.
Cedar City won from Beaver in tho
afternoon baseball game which is re
ported elsewhere in tho paper. Rain
stopped the game temporarily, but
after the shower play was resumed in
the mud.
Since the old folks could not mako
their trip to Enoch, they were made
comfortable and happy in the Relief
Society building, where a delightful
luncheon was spread including sand
wiches, cake, coffee, and ice-cream.
This was followed by an interesting
informal program with dancing in
which most of tho largo gathering
participated with great enthusiasm.
An auto rido out on tho road north of
town and through tho fields wound up
tho old folks' part of tho good time.
The children were provided for with
a dance at the Ward Hall.
Tho evening feature was a monster
display of fireworks enjoyed by old
and young. A dance for tho young
folks followed this, and ended a per
fect day.
States He Would Not Consider Any
State Office at Present Under
Any Conditions.
President Henry W. Lunt of . tho
Parowan Stake is also County Com
missioner of Iron Co., but most em
phatically is not a candidate for tho
position of Secretary of State. Hav
ing accepted his present position as
spiritual leader of u big, busy and
rapidly growing community, he states
that he will consider nothing what
ever that can possibly detract from
his usefulness in this position. Tho
idea of being a candidate for the posi
tion of Secretary of State, or for any
other position, is, under theso circum
stances unthinkable. Tho putting of
President LunJ, in the light of an of
fice seeker is an injustice to him, for
the preblcms of his present position
are taking all his attention and ener
gy and he is wholly absorbed in them.
Recent newspaper headlines nam
ing him as a candidate for Secretary
of State originated in the statement
of R. L. Jones to Salt Lako friends
that Iron County ought to be repre
sented in the next State Road Com
mission on account of the vital need
of the southern tier of counties of a
more lively and efficient road building
program. His friends wanted to
know what Iron County man would be
capable of handling the job, and nat
urally Mr. Jones named Henry W.
Lunt. This conversation was repeat
ed to representatives of tho dailies
and tho headlines naming President
Lunt as an office seeker were the re
sult. It is tho wish of Pros. Lunt that it
bo known among all people of tho
stake that lie is not and will not be
come a candidate for any office what
soever. Which attitude is wholly to
the credit of one of Iron County's
most efficient and necessary public

A. V. Garrett of the Bureau of
Plant Industry of tho U. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture was in Cedar
Tuesday and Wednesday investigat
ing the plant diseases of this locality
and in particular looking up white
pine rust. This disease is destroying
so much timber in the eastern part of
tho country that tho Department of
Agriculture is making determined ef
fort to keep it nway from the forests
of tho west. Tho only way in which
it can be carried very far is on currant
or gooseberry bushes. So that the
shipment of these bushes by nurser
ies or individuals from the east to the
intermountain states is forbidden by
tho Federal quarantine. One of Mr.
Garrett's duties is to sco that this
quarantine is not broken.
Electricity Now Throwing Streams
on Fast Increasing Number
of Homesteads.
Cedar and Parowan Both Partici
pate in Benefits Derived From
Seemingly Limitless Water Store.
Results Eagerly Watched For.
Recent developments in the experi
mentation that is being conducted in
this valley along the lines of irriga
tion by artesian water, developed by
pumping with electrical energy, uro
most gratifying and encouraging, and
seem to offer a solution of the water
problem in this and tho Parowan'val
leys, to u very great extent.
A few daya since after penetrating
Hanchctt well near the Iron Springs,
has been operated continuously, giv
ing off a little better than 300 gallons
per minute, without lowering tho wat
er in the well, which remains within
20 feet of tho surface. This well id
only down 370 feet, so that the initial
cost is not at all nrohibltive.
This well is sufficient to take caro
of 80 acres of land farmed on a copnf
mercial basis.
Tho largo well of James Smith,
caved two months ago after having
produced 5G0 gallons per minute for
30 continuous hours, has now been re
paired and will be in operation again
within the next day or two, and its
performance will bo watched with a
great deal of interest by local people,
who are only waiting for visual evi
dence of the feasibility of reclaiming
their. land by this method before en
gaging in an active campaign along
these lines.
From tho Parowan valley comes ex
pressions of satisfaction with the use
of ele'etrical energy for pumping pur
poses. At tho present time 22 wells
nrc being pumped in this woy, and
five moro are to be added the present
season. Tho owners report a very
considerable saving in expense ns com
pared with the cost of gasoline or
oil, and greatly increased efficiency,
much more water having been pro
duced from tho wella .this season than
over before. Despite this increased
activity and production, tho water
tablo has not been lowered an inch, is
tho report.
From all those evidences it is ap
parent that irrigation by means of
this region, and the future holds no
moro inviting field for the agricultur
ist than the development of productive
farms by this method. -
Officers of Ladies' Republican
Club of Cedar Sound Call to

One often meets persdns who think
it a sign of superiority to nffect u
wisdom of goodness which prevents
them from taking any interest in pol

hide ignorance or explain failure to
perform their duty of citizenship.
If "Politics are rotten," or "Run by
a machine," every individual should
give intelligent attention incidentally,
to his every day work in other fields.

Pioneer Day Audience Listens to
Interesting Talc of Cedar City's
Birth and Childhood Story

(Given by Miss Agnes Brown at tho
Pioneer Day Celebration.)
Wo are all familiar with tho story
of how our people were driven from
their Jiomes in tho cast, and wcro
led westward by President Brigham
Young, arriving in Salt Lako valloy in
1847, just seYenty-three years ago to
day, but few of us arc familiar with
the story of tho coming of our own
pioneers to Cedar Valley. The slory
of our own pioneers should be moro
interesting to us even than that of
tho first pioneers because wo are ac

neers, I am indebted for the informa
tion L-liave, but since I have attempt
ed to condense seventy years of his
tory into a ten minute talk I have had
to omit many of the interesting
incidents they told me.
President Brigham Young must
have been a very wonderful leader
indeed for he seemed to know just ex
actly what wealth was in each part of
Utah and what people were best
suited to develop it. He had early dis
covered the vast niincral deposits in
our county and especially was he in
terested in tho iron. So in tho win-
tor of 18Gfy just three years after tho
arrival of tho pioneers in Utah, ho
called a company of twelve families
to come down and build a town in
this valley. Theso families wero all
Scotch people who had traveled all tho
way from their native country to
gether. They hnd been in Utnh only
a week or two when they received tho
call to come down here. President
Young knew that they had all worked
in tho iron and coal foundation of their
own country so he sent them here to'
develop Iron County.
This body of people had keen
known as the "Scotch Independent

the fair, and its entire success is a',
matter of great satisfaction to Enter

For the benefit of baseball fans who
may not be familiar with tho scoring
system, and in order that all may take
advantnge of tho box scores published,
the following explanation is mado:
AB The number of times the play
er is at bat. If tho batter walks, is
hit by a pitched ball, or makes a sac
rifice hit, it is not counted ngainst him
ns a time at bat. Thus, if a man
comes to bat four times in a game,
is walked twice, hit by a pitched ball
onco and mnkes ono hit, tho box scoro
will credit him with one trip to tho
lint and ono hit, giving him a perfect
batting nvcrngo for the gnme, because
ho reached first bnso each time up,
without the aid of an error.
R Runs scored.

LAGRANGE -- When police officer Chad Duensing reported for work Tuesday morning, it was business as usual at the station.
The only difference was his job title.
LaGrange Village Mayor Kim Strauss appointed Duensing as the village's new police chief, succeeding Daniel Moore who announced his retirement in September.
Duensing has been serving as acting chief the past several weeks.
For those who are accustomed to seeing Duensing driving around his police cruiser in LaGrange, he plans to continue to patrol the streets.
Strauss said there were five outside applicants for the position of chief of police, but that Duensing was his first choice.
"He's the best for our department and the best for our village," Strauss said.
Strauss said he and Moore prepped Duensing for his new position.
"The other officers felt the same way because everyone feels comfortable with him," Strauss said Tuesday.
Duensing is a lifelong LorainCounty resident. He graduated from ElyriaHigh School in 1989 and is a 2001 police academy graduate. He was an auxiliary police officer in Grafton and Wellington in 2000 before being hired as a police officer with the LaGrange Police Department in September 2001.
Duensing was promoted to sergeant in 2004.
"I appointed him and he's done a great job for us," Strauss said.
Duensing will be placed on a six-month probationary period.
Duensing said the department will see the hiring of a new police officer to bring the total number of full-time officers to seven. In addition, Officer Wayne Ramsey will be promoted to sergeant.
There are also four part-time officers and two auxiliary officers.

If you don't know already, I love stir-fry dishes. They are so easy, you can throw whatever you have into the pan, and they are delicious! Here's a great version I came up with that has noodles instead of rice. It was yuuuuuuuummy!
Chinese Noodle Stir Fry
[recipe by me]
1 small package of pre-cooked Chinese noodles, stir fry noodles (usually found in the produce section)
2 chicken breasts, sliced or diced (I love using my food processor for this!)
2 cloves of garlic, minced
2 tsp fresh ginger, grated
1 Tbsp oil
Veggies of choice: zucchini, carrots, green beans, bell peppers, broccoli, etc.
1/4–1/2 cup water
5 Tbsp soy sauce
1 1/2 Tbsp hoisin sauce*
1 tsp sugar
1/2 Tbsp crushed red pepper
Juice of 1/2 a lime
Chopped cashews or peanuts for topping, optional
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chicken until browned on the outside and cooked through. Turn heat down to medium and add garlic and ginger; stir. Add veggies and stir. Add about 1/4 cup (or more) water to the pan and cover with lid to allow the veggies to steam. Cook for about ten minutes, until veggies are tender but still crisp.
Meanwhile, mix sauce together by combining soy sauce, hoisin, sugar, crushed red pepper, and lime juice.
Add noodles to skillet, then add sauce. Stir to thoroughly distribute sauce. Sprinkle with chopped nuts before serving, if desired.
* If you don't have hoisin sauce, you can make your own. Check out this post for directions!

Sarah Reidy, Director of Publicity from Soho Press, reports from Baltimore on the Malice Domestic Agatha Awards.
I had the pleasure of attending the Agatha Awards Banquet for Malice Domestic XX on Saturday, alongside Soho's Marketing Director, Ailen Lujo. Despite the fact that the organizers had forgotten to assign Ailen and I seats, all worked out for the best. We found ourselves at table 44, alongside Jim Huang – owner of The Mystery Bookshop in Carmel, IN and a great Soho supporter. Later on, Margaret Maron – author of the Deborah Knott mystery series – and friends dropped in to occupy the empty seats. I had the pleasure of chatting with Ms. Maron's husband, who recounted stories of mystery conventions past for me.
Find out who the award winners were and what was for dinner after the jump
After a pretty decent dinner (although, according to the menu, our chicken was supposed to have rice – perhaps the recent grain shortage?), the ceremonies began. Dan Stashower – author of Dutton's A Beautiful Cigar Girl and Agatha-nominee – served as our toastmaster for the evening, and I have to say, he nailed it. Speeches were made by the Fan Guests of Honor Ron and Jean McMillen (owners of the Mystery Bookshop in Bethesda, MD) and Elizabeth Foxwell (mystery historian), and then came the part of the evening that Ailen and I had been eagerly awaiting – the presentation of the Malice Lifetime Achievement Award to Soho Crime Author (and one of my favorites – both as a writer and a person) Peter Lovesey.
Peter has written over thirty books, including this month's The Headhunters, and has received countless awards, including the British Crime Writers' Association Silver, Gold, and Diamond (Lifetime Achievement) Daggers. In the U.S., he has received Edgar and Dilys nominations, an Anthony Award, a Macavity Award, and the Ellery Queen Readers Award. His speech was utterly charming, especially with his British accent, and in a touching moment, acknowledged his wife, who he called "my inspiration, first editor, and main reader."
As far as the Agatha Award winners: Sarah Masters won the Best Children/Young Adult Fiction for A Light in the Cellar; Donna Andrews won the Short Story Award for "A Rat's Tale"; Jon Lellenberg, Charles Foley, and toastmaster Dan Stashower won the Best Nonfiction for Arthur Conan Doyle: A Life in Letters; Hank Phillippi Ryan won Best First Novel for Prime Time; and Louise Penny's A Fatal Grace won Best Novel of the Year. In addition, the Poirot Awards (honoring "individuals other than writers who have made outstanding contributions to the Malice Domestic genre") went to Linda Landrigan, the editor of Alfred Hitchcock Mystery Magazine, and Janet Hutchings, editor of Ellery Queen Mystery Magazine.

What is the best way the solve the spawn killing 'problem' in multiplayer? I saw one comment by EazyB that said "They need to do something to prevent spawn campers. Like given to person who spawned a second or two where they are invincable and can't shoot so they could find cover. Just a thought." And that's a good idea, but is two seconds enough? What about on Blood Gulch, it usually takes more than two seconds to get in/on the base. Something cool would be if you could spawn automatically behind campers who have barely moved a certain distance in a certain amount of time. Regardless of my thoughts, Bungie is going to have to think of something, so what do you propose to them?
They could make it kind of like basketball. In basketball if you stand, or rather camp, in the area under the goal for more than a certain amount of time, you get a penalty. So, if somebody in HALO stands still in some place other than where he spawned for more than like 20 seconds or something, then he should be warped back to a random spawnpoint. That would not only end his camping, but make him vulnerable in the same way. Also, it would be a nice surprise for the camper.
Open levels (exp. team) a dropship drops you off Closed in levels, every spawns in the spawn that has the least ammount of people (if there is anyone there at all)
I think it is fine the way it it.

BUNGIE ITS YOUR TIME TO ANSWER?[/quote] And that's the sort of thing that I hope Bungie tries to avoid. If spawn camping is available, and there are stats to worry about, people WILL spawn camp - you see it in Ghost Recon, you see it in Unreal, etc. Do you think it was fun for that other team to die for an hour straight and not even get to play? For that matter, did you even have a good time just killing people as they respawned? That's not engaging gameplay, that's just mindless shooting. You might as well play any run of the mill game and get the same experience because that completely ignores what makes Halo so compelling. There really needs to be a way to combat spawn killing, otherwise the clan babies will camp all day, and that's really discouraging for people that don't have all day to learn the best spawn camping spots. If it's not addressed, it could be a fatal flaw in the longevity of halo - at least in slayer and CTF modes. This is part of why I LOVE coutnerstrike so much. There are no respawns, but the matches are so fast, you don't have to sit out forever.

It is a very cheap tactic though... a good tactic requires skill and good thinking.
They should left spawn has it is..... Spawn camping IS a tactic
To combat spawn-killing all you need is a chance to get your bearings, see whos around you and be ready. The only advantage spawn-killers have is surprise. This could easily be countered by giving you a complete shot of where your about to spawn just a second or so before you do. Thus eliminating surprise.
i like the idea of the safe respawn OPTION. that way you can CHOOSE weather you want it or not. I know for example that alot of my friends hate the idea or a radar i like that you can turn it off if you want. Bond 64 was a great game, i wish they would make a paintball option! oddjob is cheap.
the only spawn issue i have is when it does dumb -blam!- like put your mate in right in front of your aimer right as u are about to shoot. then u either betray them or nearly do... that crap is dumb. other than that i think the whole spawn things bring skill to the game. if u lose control then u must work your way back up or deal with defeat. i like it that way.
A other solution to this question is to have a area around the spawn and if some one on the oppiset team is in the area then it counts as he's commited suiside or u could make them invisable or just leave them but if they done it on live every one would send em cheating feedback.
they have that invicibilty thing going in most games, not just for spawn kills, but for other stuff like muppets who have an itchy trigger finger. It makes the game more enjoyable for everyone. Don't think they should have this for co-op though, a friendly kill is a friendly kill. But i say good on to the source of the idea.
that's a possibility. Because it's worth taking not getting the kill point to continue your flag return. Hoever, score isn't really the issue in CTF, it's the frustration of not being able to play, not being able to enjoy the game. That's the issue here.
If a player dies within 2 seconds of a respawn the spawn killer doesn't get a frag, the victim does.
There's nothing wrong with spawn killin'! Why it was just the other day I was playing Halo PC; when a pair strangers appered out of nowhere! Thinking there were ghosts sent by the devil, to cleanse the earth of my kind! I quickly pulled out my pistol and sent them to the floor! In all honesty the idea of having a system like the one found in GoldenEye is great idea! I can't count the number of times I've spawned under the treads of a Scorpion!
It would also make spawn camping hard. You couldn't do anything for those few seconds, but it would give you a chance to hide, and at the very least, it would make it so people don't spawn in the exact same place every time. Also, although it is easy to see active cammo people, it is still harder and would make camping that much more difficult.
safe respawn is easy to do when there are only 4 players in a map, it's a bit tougher with 16, or better yet, 32. [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Digital Chaos I'm against all you guys here. You can't stop spawn killing - It just can't happen. You can't advantage spawn killers by spawning them invisible. What if they spawn on a map like wizard invisible, that 2 - 3 seconds is enough to melee someone going for the flag in the back. It would just make Capture the Flag to hard. If your team can do it - I say go for it. The stronger team will have the opposition being spawn killed. Especially on a map like Blood Gulch. [/quote] that's where balance comes into play. A map like wizard doesn't have many issues with spanw killing. Maybe a quick second or so of shield recharging when spawing (so that you don't take damage - like when charging overshield) would completely wipe out spawn killing in wizard. However, something like Blood Gulch needs a bit of protection. Much of this issue can be taken care of with level design. Each team could have 2 bases, one flag base, and an armory/safe base that the other team would have a hard time getting into and is spawn killing protected. Whenever you respawn you have the choice of spawing in the safe base and getting a better weapon/ammo/vehicle but being further away from the flag or you can spawn at the base, but you have to worry about spawn campers. Also, if you do resapawns as deployments - i.e. time based - then spawn camping isn't as necessary a tactic for successful CTF play.
Digital Chaos, would you like our proposed option if it only applied to large levels like Blood Gulch and Sidewinder?
I actually have no problem seeing the invisible players, even if they don't shoot... There is usually a shaded gell look or glimmer that catches my eye.
Sixsixone, that might be good for Goldeneye, but for some reason I don't think it would transfer over well with Halo 2. Random location spawns on Blood Gulch would ruin the level in my opinion

If you want to stop spawn killing, do a thing thats on golden eye, called safe respawn. If looks for a area where there are no other players, mines, whatever and spawns you there.
jndu, I like all your ideas. I never even thought of half of those
I have no problem with letting them shoot, because as soon as they take a shot, they becoem visible, but that's a good way to clear out campers.
I agree with The Rip Saw. That is a great idea, I don't know why I didn't think of that myself. Just have invisibility for 2-3 seconds in which they can't shoot either. I like it. Bungie, do you like it?
yea...i like the inviSIBILITY..idea a bit more...soo that way all you have to do is make your way towards their position and take 'em out..if you're visible then they know when you're coming and will try and stall you with grenades and what nots...but if they dont see you..they wont know what's coming...

A solution of the single-scattering lidar equation requires a relationship between the coefficients of backscatter β(r) and extinction σ(r) to be of the formβ(r) = C2σ(r)k, where C2 and k are parameters independent of range r. The sensitivity of a particular lidar inversion algorithm to uncertainties in C2 and k is investigated using a measured lidar return which indicated the atmosphere to be essentially horizontally homogeneous during a reduced visibility condition. Starting with the measured power returned as a function of range, extinction coefficients and average visibilities are calculated using the inversion algorithm for different values of C2 and k and compared with those inferred from the lidar return using the slope method. The calculated extinction coefficients (and visibilities) were found to be extremely sensitive to uncertainties in C2. This questions the usefulness of the lidar inversion algorithm for aerosol extinction applications when the air mass characteristics change along the measurement path.

"It pays to be a winner."
Mind-blowing. Image Entertainment has released the six-part documentary from 2000, Navy SEALS: BUD/S Class 234, which follows a group of candidates experiencing the absolutely grueling six-month training course to become Navy SEALS, possibly the toughest, most elite military commando force in the American armed forces. Making other "survival" courses look like Girl Scout picnics, the BUD/S (Basic Underwater Demolition/SEALS) training course is excruciating enough just to watch, let alone partake in, and Navy SEALS: BUD/S Class 234 does an excellent, no-frills job of conveying the courage, tenacity, and intelligence that is required of these brave military men to finish this physically and mentally punishing training.
Developed during WWII, the Navy SEAL is now one of the most formidable fighting soldiers in the world, involved in covert operations all over the globe, and expert in various forms of combat and underwater operations. Frequently, SEALS are the first American boots to land on foreign soil, prior to "official" military maneuvers. Many of their operations remain strictly confidential. They're the "go-to" warriors America uses when a job is deemed too dangerous or too sensitive for regular troops. So how does the Navy find and train such men? We all watch too many movies in this country, and we just assume such warriors are "there," as if Central Casting called them up on the morning call sheet.
The first answer is easy: the Navy doesn't have to find these soldiers - they all volunteer. One of the elements of Navy SEALS: BUD/S Class 234 that I particularly enjoyed was the emphasis of this fact, and the implication that there will always be people who want to be the very best they can be. There will always be soldiers who prove themselves in some area of the military, and then wish to go even further, pushing themselves beyond any sane level of reasoning, so they can say they are the very best. The elite. In a culture that increasing celebrates mediocrity, and looks askance at anyone who dares to be proud of their achievements (for example, school districts eliminating honor rolls, because it makes the other students "feel bad"), it's great to know there are still institutions out there that ask for effort above and beyond just "satisfactory."
As for the training of the Navy SEAL, well, it can best be described as rigidly controlled insanity. This isn't like anything I've ever seen in any other video. What these candidates go through in just the first 24 hours is more punishing that what you or I would ever go through in our lifetimes. I had heard about the notorious "Hell Week," which comes at about the third week of training, where the candidates are allowed almost no sleep for a week as they're pushed to the absolute brink of complete mental and physical exhaustion. But just the first 24 hours of the BUD/S course looked like it would kill me - how the hell do those guys make it all the way to "Hell Week?" After witnessing these first brutal hours, you have no trouble believing the instructor when he tells the candidates that the typical failure rate for an average class of 83 candidates, is over 70%.
If you think that such punishment is gratuitous, well, it is in a way - but it isn't sadistic. The main purpose of this kind of intensive training is to first weed out all underperformers, and second, to burnish those promising candidates into suitable SEAL operatives. The most frequently heard phrase called out by the strangely sanguine drill instructors (everybody knows they're tough enough - they don't have anything to prove) is, "It pays to be a winner." In other words, those who excel, those who come first in challenges, get to rest. And that's all they get. Everybody else - another oft-heard phrase is "Second place is first loser" - gets punished. Punishment, such as "Log PT" where the candidates must muscle around a 150 pound log, is designed to break all candidates except those who have that "X" factor to succeed. It isn't necessarily who's the biggest or most ripped - it's who has the heart and will and determination to gut out what the drill instructors throw at them, while maintaining the smarts to do it right the first time, and not fail.
That's the other main element of Navy SEALS: BUD/S Class 234 that I particularly enjoyed: the absolutely uncompromising positions of the drill instructors. Nothing is accepted as an excuse for failing at a task - not even minor injuries. The drill instructors don't want to hear about it, and if they do, it's time to get "wet and sandy," where the candidate is instructed to jump in the ocean, and then roll around in the sand until he's completely covered - not the most comfortable way to perform P.T. exercises. Excuses are bull. Get it done, do it right, or D.O.R. (drop on request, quit the program). As one of the head drill instructors says, "You screw off, I'll catch you every time. And I'll make you pay." For a team this elite, only the very best can and should advance, and those that can't cut it - tough luck. It's the purest expression of effort and achievement I've ever witnessed. If you win, you momentarily rest. If you lose, you pay.
The DVD:
The Video:
The full screen, 1.33:1 video image for Navy SEALS: BUD/S Class 234 isn't the greatest, with plenty of video noise and compression issues, but this isn't meant to be Dr. Zhivago. Color and lighting are frequently blown out (due to the technical limitations of the actual filming), but the grittiness of the video image in no way detracts from the program.
The Audio:
The Dolby Digital English 2.0 stereo audio mix is entirely adequate for this program. There is no close-captioning option, though.
The Extras:
There are no extras for Navy SEALS: BUD/S Class 234.
Final Thoughts:
Screw Survivor. Check out Navy SEALS: BUD/S Class 234 and see what it means to really survive one of the most heinous, physically and emotionally grueling training courses in the world. And after that punishing aspect of the series settles in, feel proud of the constant supply of volunteers who push themselves beyond the limits of their endurance to call themselves the very best: an American Navy SEAL. I highly recommend Navy SEALS: BUD/S Class 234.

Honda = Been there, done that, failed miserably, try again?
Honda already had a "fuel station" for the home. They used to have a joined arrangement with some of the USA gas suppliers to provide CNG (compressed natural gas) filling stations working off the gas mains.
There was a converted Civic and IIRC a converted Accord being sold with this offer.
The offer did not have significant success in the US and was never offered in Europe due to the motor vehicle taxation laws. End of the day IIRC it got binned. Quietly.
Honda is now repeating the feat. Let's see if it will fail this time. Time will tell, but I suspect it will.

Here's an example of our map rule:
=JEXIT("com.in.edi.mapping.WtxCodeLookup", "getIHCodeFromEDICode", "entityTypeQualifier", SubmitterEntityType Submitter Element:HeaderRecord RecordTypes:Input_PIM)
This call is using a java class and method,com.in.edi.mapping.WtxCodeLookup - getIHCodeFromEDICode, that gets a text file, based on the parameters passed in-entityTypeQualifier. Once it finds the text file it returns information from there for the other parameter that was passed in - SubmitterEntityType Submitter Element:HeaderRecord RecordTypes:Input_PIM .
There are multiple jexit calls in the map that are doing basically the same thing just for different parameters.

Re: why receiving JExit exception for unable to find class2013-01-29T20:13:46ZThis is the accepted answer. This is the accepted answer.Looking at your example, looks like you are trying to access a class WtxCodeLookup and method getIHCodeFromEDICode().
So if you have JEXIT error related to this class package, you should not be seeing "com.ibm.websphere.dtx.dtxpi.MDispatchFunction"
Rather your exception error should say "com.in.edi.mapping.WtxCodeLookup".
So I suspect, you are missing all mandatory installation of WTX and JAR related to JEXIT method call. Contact your IBM Support partner.

It's Time to Submit Player Registration, Manager and Coach Info – Here's What You Need to Know and How to Do It
By providing Player Registration and Coach/Manager Information earlier in the year, you will help Little League® International become more familiar with your league officials and connect with your volunteers and Little League families. Having this information allows Little League to distribute timely information and announcements to your Board members, volunteers and parents prior to and during the current season.
Local leagues must submit regular-season player registration/roster information and coach/manager data through the Little League Data Center by April 1, 2014. In order for your district to receive its ASAP incentive, your district must have all of its leagues' ASAP plans submitted to, and approved by, Little League International no later than March 13.
Here is a quick-read explanation of these requirements and a list of frequently asked questions (FAQ) that can help you understand the process.
Why is Little League requiring player, manager and coach data so much earlier in the year?
A – By receiving the information earlier in the year, Little League will now have the ability to better connect with volunteers and Little League families. It will also allow us to distribute timely information and announcements to all local league officials and parents during the current season of play. Volunteers will receive valuable tips and tools via specific newsletters and other resources provided by Little League International. Parents will also have the ability to opt in to receive The Parent Connection newsletter designed just for them. It is our hope that this information will help families enhance their Little League experience.
What is the difference between player, manager and coach data vs. team rosters?
A – Player, manager and coach data is actually much easier for a local league to provide. This information does not require a league to hold a draft and assign players to teams before they can submit information to Little League. Local leagues simply have to provide a general list of data to Little League to meet the requirement.
Why is player, manager and coach data part of the ASAP Program?
A –The primary purpose of the ASAP Program is to improve safety within local leagues. Adding this requirement to the ASAP Program allows Little League the ability to provide coaches with important safety information and initiatives prior to and during the current playing season.
How do I upload my player, manager and coach data to Little League?
A – There are several different ways that leagues can submit this vital information. Once in the Little League Data Center, upload player registration/roster information and coach/manager data by clicking on Manage Registration Data/Rosters or Managers/Coaches then click on Upload Player/Registration Roster. Next, select the file format you are using from the dropdown menu and this will give you step-by-step instructions on how to create and upload your file.
How does Little League International use personal information collected and received?
A – As a youth organization, we are very concerned about privacy. Therefore, we have taken measures to tailor our content and offerings to help protect an individual's privacy. This Privacy Policy applies to information collected on Little League International authored websites such as: LittleLeague.org; LittleLeaguestore.net; and our official pages on Facebook, Twitter as well as information received from other sources such as charter enrollment and player records reporting.
Player Registration Information:
The ASAP Requirement
League Player Registration Data or Player Roster Data, which also includes Coach and Manager Data, must be submitted separately through the Little League Baseball Data Center on or before April 1, 2014 to meet requirement 15 of ASAP. This ASAP requirement is an effort to provide coaches with important Little League information and initiatives prior to and during the current playing season.
The Regulation IV(g):
Player, manager and coach data must be supplied to Little League International annually. Leagues may submit information from registration by April 1, 2014. It is highly recommended that data be supplied electronically in approved formats to Little League International via the Little League Data Center. Look for related information online at LittleLeague.org/DataCenter.

The Basics
Philadelphia Union (7-13-6, 27 points, sixth in the Eastern Conference) vs. Houston Dynamo (7-14-5, 26 points, seventh in the Western Conference) at PPL Park in Chester, Pa.
Philadelphia won the only meeting between the two sides.
TV Info
4:00 pm ET, Live Well HD Network, MyNetwork TV WQMY, Telefutura
Game Intro
Fresh off a 4-1 thrashing at the hands of the Colorado Rapids at Dick's Sporting Goods Park on Wednesday, the Philadelphia Union head home to the friendly confines of PPL Park where they're undefeated in their last five matches.
Coming to the City of Brotherly Love are the Houston Dynamo, one of the only two teams the Union have beaten on the road this season. Dominic Kinnear's squad has had a forgettable season, but they'll be looking to build on last weekend's win over D.C. United by defeating the Union.
Philadelphia Union
In has been a very up and down week for Peter Nowak's team. They experienced the tremendous high of beating Chivas USA 3-0 in what was arguably their best performance of the season. Then, on Wednesday night, they were dismantled in a 4-1 loss to the Rapids.
The Union's downfall was their defense. Pretty strong leading up to the game — Philly had only allowed three goals in five matches — the back line was destroyed by Colorado striker Omar Cummings, whose early brace doomed the Union.
"That is not our team," Union Coach John Hackworth said. "Not in the way that we played the game, not in the energy that we brought. Teams will have those nights. This was one of those times when we knew we were going to be challenged. We did not play up to our ability."
Hackworth insisted, however, that the Union would improve this weekend against Houston.
Houston Dynamo
Things could not get any worse for the Dynamo right now as the former two-time defending MLS Champions are a shadow of their 2006-2007 selves.
Sitting on 26 points, good for the third-worst in the league, Houston may need to go out with their third string goalkeeper Tyler Deric. Pat Onstad, listed as doubtful on Tuesday's injury report, is recovering from a nasty collision suffered in last week's 3-1 win against D.C. United, and backup Tally Hall is hampered by an ankle injury. If Deric gets the start, he would become the Dynamo's first ever homegrown player to start a competitive match.
"If I get the chance, I'll be ready," Deric said. "I'm hungry to play. It's what I've been working for all year, so if the team needs me on Saturday, I'm ready to go."
Things aren't looking too sour for the Dynamo, though, after their victory over DC.
"We're trying to salvage some pride," midfielder Lovel Palmer said. "Other teams have playoff hopes and think they can come out all guns blazing because we're not doing well. They'll try to get points off us. We will do our best [to upset them], as we need to finish this season on a high."
Hereos & Villains
Bobby Boswell vs. Danny Mwanga: After sitting out Wednesday match against the Rapids, prized rookie Mwanga could be in line for a return to the starting XI for Peter Nowak's side. Charged with shutting him down will be Bobby Boswell, who didn't have a great match the last time these two teams met.
Burned by Union midfiedler Shea Salinas on the first of the Union's three goals, Boswell will want to have a much better match this time around. Keeping Mwanga, a player who scored and assisted in the May meeting, would be a great way to redeem himself.
Stat That Makes You Go "Hmm"
The 45 and 43 goals allowed by the Dynamo and Union, respectively, are good for tops in the league. Houston are tied with New England for most allowed, and Philly fall in right after.

"It was a case of really good timing," Yamaoka said. "I knew about Suda long before I met him; I saw Grasshopper as one of those few Japanese outfits whose games can appeal to an overseas audience. I had a chance to meet him in Los Angeles and we talked about this and that, and once we started discussing how we wanted to do something creative for a world audience, I was hooked on the company."
Also new to Grasshopper: Kazutoshi Iida, creator of Aquanaut's Holiday, Tail of the Sun, Doshin the Giant, and Discipline, who will certainly make the already idiosyncratic works of Grasshopper Manufacture even stranger.

Promiscuous Transitive beds Hitachi's boxes and sales folk
The SPARC assault continues
Transitive - the king of server software promiscuity - has signed on with Hitachi America to move Solaris/SPARC software over to x86- and Itanium-based servers.
The Hitachi deal includes a sales and marketing angle. So, the vendors will team to push Transitive's QuickTransit software at you in tandem with Hitachi's BladeSymphony boxes. Customers can move Solaris/SPARC software over to Linux/x86 gear and now also to Linux/Itanium hardware without any source code tweaks or binaries modifications.
Transitive has arranged similar partnerships with just about any partner it can find. HP, for example, already has deals in place to shift Solaris/SPARC customers over to its x86 and Itanium hardware. Sun works with Transitive to shuffle customers using older versions of Solaris onto new SPARC hardware or x86 systems. And Fujitsu signed a recent deal to move Solaris/SPARC software onto its panopoly of hardware, including x86/Linux, x86/Solaris and Itanium/Linux systems.
The software vendor, however, may be best known for crafting the Rosetta software that lets code made for PowerPC chips run on Intel-based Apple computers.
Transitive recently retooled its product portfolio, splitting its software into three distinct categories. Customers can go after a Legacy product aimed at the older Solaris operating system set or Workstation and Server products for newer OSes and applications. ®

Federal health officials say the Georgia peanut plant at the center of the salmonella outbreak knowingly shipped tainted products.
Previously, the Food and Drug Administration had said Peanut Corp. of America retested products after getting an initial positive result for salmonella. The agency said the company shipped the goods after follow-up tests came back negative.
But Friday, the FDA said the company sent out peanut butter, chopped peanuts and peanut meal that had tested positive even before it got back any negative findings.
Peanut Corp. denies any wrongdoing. The government has opened a criminal investigation.
THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. Check back soon for further information. AP's earlier story is below.
WASHINGTON (AP) – A Georgia peanut plant at the center of a salmonella outbreak earlier had potentially exposed its products to insecticides, one of several violations uncovered in 2001 during the last visit federal inspectors made before the current food-poisoning scare.
Workers at the Peanut Corp. of America's plant used an insecticide fogger in food processing areas and didn't wash the exposed equipment, Food and Drug Administration inspectors wrote in a 2001 reported obtained by The Associated Press. They also found dirty duct tape wrapped on broken equipment, dead insects around peanuts and gaps in doors where rodents could enter the plant.
FDA inspectors did not find evidence of insecticides in peanuts at the plant during that earlier visit. Company officials told them the fogger was last used two weeks earlier, according to the inspection report.
Some of those 2001 findings by the FDA are similar to problems inspectors discovered during a visit to the plant last month after salmonella-tainted peanuts and peanut butter were linked to at least eight deaths and 575 illnesses in 43 states. The FDA's recent inspection was the first time federal officials visited the plant since their 2001 report.
Peanut Corp. officials have denied any wrongdoing in the salmonella outbreak. A criminal investigation is under way.
The Agriculture Department abruptly suspended all business with the company Thursday. The USDA shipped some of the company's potentially contaminated peanut butter and peanuts to eight states, including school lunch programs in California, Minnesota and Idaho in 2007. None of the states reported illnesses as a result of people eating the products, agency officials said.
The USDA was one of Peanut Corp.'s two biggest clients in 2001 when inspectors found the insecticide problem. USDA officials also regularly visited the plant, including in recent years. But that agency is not trained to perform food safety inspections, USDA spokesman Jerry Redding said.
The USDA visits to the plant were made by "contract auditors" who are "number crunchers," Redding said, who know nothing about peanuts. They only visited to review records, he said.
Parnell told FDA inspectors in 2001 that USDA officials knew about the insecticide fogger and approved use of the duct tape on broken equipment, the FDA inspection report says.
The insecticide fogger discovered by inspectors noted on its labels that any exposed equipment should be thoroughly washed after use. Plant workers covered some areas, and told inspectors that no peanuts were in any equipment when the foggers were used at night.
The plant manager told inspectors during their visit that workers didn't clean the exposed areas and didn't realize the insecticide couldn't be used around food.
Plant owner Stewart Parnell promised FDA inspectors at the time that he would correct the problems because he "wanted to assure us that he wanted his firm to be in compliance," FDA inspectors wrote.
Parnell told inspectors that the insecticide's "labeling had been changed and they had not been aware of the change." the FDA report states.
Parnell and the plant manager told inspectors the company was assured by the insecticide supplier that the chemical was safe for use in food areas.
Parnell also promised to remove the duct tape filled with dirt and residue, and repair the broken equipment, the FDA report states.
Inspectors also found dead beetles and insect webs around peanuts, the report states. Several gaps along doors as long as seven feet and large enough for rodents also were found.
FDA officials said Friday the company was allowed in 2001 to fix the problems on its own because the inspection showed no evidence that finished products were being contaminated.
Michael Rogers, FDA's head of field investigations, said the problems with pesticides and duct tape on equipment do not appear to have surfaced again in inspections performed by Georgia inspectors. That indicates they were corrected, he said.
"In 2001, FDA classified the inspection as 'voluntary action indicated,' " Rogers said. "That is a classification reserved for firms that have deviations noted by investigators, but there is no evidence of direct contamination of finished products. In these cases, firms are allowed to voluntarily correct the problems."
Rogers said the FDA is researching to see if any other official actions were taken after the 2001 inspection.

Most trusts are set up in order to avoid probate when the Grantor/Settlor/maker dies. That person is usually the trustee, but the death of a trustee has no bearing on probate.

The system
was developed to assess risk. If you cannot afford what you spend, then it should not be spent. If your late on a payment that means you had nearly 60 days (30 days to statement and 30 days past due date) to pay atleast the minimum and you chose not to. Your credit score is a direct reflection of how you handle responsibility and debts. You can always ask the creditor to remove the late payment if there was only one and they will usually oblige. Try front line customer service and if you recieve a negative response ask to talk to the underwriting department. Explain why you were so late and ask kindly for them to remove it.

Seniors dominate Tiger basketball
Twelve seniors led the Morris Area/Chokio-Alberta boys' basketball program this past season.
"That's the most I've ever had in the 26 years I've coached," said coach Mark Torgerson. "The chemistry was pretty good. These guys all got along."
Torgerson remembers that there were 18 kids from this class on the fourth-grade team.
"To have that many players hang in there was special," he added. "Plus, all 12 are basically three-sport athletes."
The seniors on the 2012-2013 roster include Lincoln Berget, Marcus Cannon, Austin Dierks, Chandler Erickson, Tyler Henrichs, Tom Holland, Beau Keimig, Logan Manska, Dillon McNally, John Tiernan, Jacob Torgerson, and Nic Vipond.
These seniors are not only athletic, but also academic. Evidence of this is the Section 6AA Academic Championship Award which the team earned with a 3.66 GPA. The grade point percentage of the entire team is used to determine the winner.
"The team is well rounded, academically and athletically," added Torgerson.
Over two seasons, this year's seniors accumulated 35 varsity wins. That experience provided the Tigers with a lot of depth.
The Tigers started the season 15-3, including a huge victory over top ranked Litchfield 46-42. The three losses came against 2012 Class A state champions Belgrade-Brooten-Elrosa, Rockford, and Sauk Centre. Later in the season, the Tigers also fell to Class 3A opponent Alexandria, twice to West Central Conference leader Melrose, and twice to New London-Spicer.
Sauk Centre and Melrose joined the conference this season, giving the Tigers their three losses in league play. The Tigers finished the season with a 19-8 varsity record.
Torgerson credits the Tigers' defense for many of the wins this season. Statistically, the Tigers only allowed their opponents 50 points per game. Also, the Tigers only gave up 269 turnovers, compared to 316 for the other teams.
"Our assist-to-turnover ratio was really good," said Torgerson.
Chandler Erickson led the team in assists with 118, while Jacob Torgerson dished out 87. The two gave up a combined 85 turnovers.
"The guys played well together and showed unselfishness," said Torgerson.
Because of that, there was balanced scoring throughout the season.
At the end of the year, Austin Dierks was the leading scorer for the second straight season. He finished the season with 412 points, averaging 15.3 points per game. Logan Manska had 260 points this season, almost recording a 10-point average. Nic Vipond finished with 170 points and earned a starting position a third of the way into the season. Jacob Torgerson had 161 points, Chandler Erickson finished with 149 points, Lincoln Berget chipped in 132 points, and John Tiernan scored 120.
Four Tigers were recognized by the West Central Conference. Lincoln Berget (from left) received an Honorable Mention, while Logan Manska, Chandler Erickson, and Austin Dierks were named to the All-Conference team.
With only two juniors, Bryce Jergenson and Aaron Goulet, on the roster, the varsity will tap into the experience of this season's B- and C-squads. Joey Fragodt coached the B-squad and Noah Hamer headed up the C-squad.
"They did a really nice job and those teams had a nice season," commented Torgerson. "All of our teams had a good year of developing.
"We will have a lot of people to replace," explained Torgerson. "But, we have a lot of players that are ready to step up the challenge of varsity because of their success this season."

My modern day hero is my grandpa. His name is Ghanshyam Patel. My grandpa is my mom's father. I call him Dada, which is Indian for grandpa. Dada was born in India. In his Mid 30's he moved to America. At the moment he lives in Southbridge. I've known and loved Dada since I was 3. This is a little bit about Dada.
Dada is a hero to me for many reasons. First, if I'm in trouble with my mom he'll try to soften the punishment up for me. Second, whenever he comes to my house he gladly waters our plants. That makes me delighted because that's one less thing to do. Third, when my family is going to redo the lawn and plant new flowers he will come and help my family so it gets done very quickly. Fourth, whenever I go to his house and I look down he will offer me food and drinks to cheer me up. After I eat he will talk to me so I have company. Finally, when my family is going through tough times he will come and sit with my family, eat with my family, and even talk with us so we feel better. This is why Dada is my hero.
Dada has many differences from and similarities to the ancient Greek heroes. One similarity of Dada and Greek heroes is Dada is intelligent like Odysseus. Second, Dada is brave like Heracles. There are a few differences between ancient Greek heroes and Dada. He isn't as strong as Heracles. Second, Dada is adventurous but not as much into adventure as Jason. Dada might not be as strong as Heracles but he is still my hero.

We return to District 8, the underbelly of Bangkok's underworld, where a dramatically mutilated dead body is found. It's bad: he was CIA. It gets worse: the murderer appears to be Chanya, a tough, sweet working girl who's the highest earner at The Old Man's Club, jointly owned by Sonchai's mother and his boss, Police Colonel Vikorn.
Alerted by Sonchai, Vikorn quickly concocts a cover-up that involves Al Qaeda and Thailand's porous southern border where, since 9/11, the CIA has been an obviously covert presence. But the truth will be harder to come by, and it will require Sonchai to find an ever-more-delicate balance between his ambition and his Buddhism, while running the gamut of Bangkok's drug dealers, prostitutes, bad cops, worse military, and the pitfalls of his own melting heart (Chanya!), most of which he can handle. But even Sonchai is not prepared for what he discovers at the end of his investigation.
Piercingly smart and funny, densely atmospheric, and, as we already know to expect from John Burdett, packing a surprise at every turn, Bangkok Tattoo is sensational.
©2005 John Burdett; (P)2005 Books on Tape, Inc.
"Brilliantly cynical....Burdett does an impressive job of depicting an often romanticized society from the inside out. His characters are unforgettable, his dialogue fast-paced and perfectly pitched, his numerous asides and observations generally as cutting as they are funny." (Publishers Weekly)
Bangkok Tattoo is probably the most compelling book I've encountered in the nearly three years I've been an Audible listener. It is a great many contradictory things: violent, compassionate, graphic, delicate, sexual, sensual, spiritual, surreal, earthy, funny at times, horrible at others, extremely well written and well read. The character development is superb, and the portrait of Bangkok is fascinating. It's an incredible read. Audible offers Burdett's Bangkok 8 (the first of this series) only in an abridged version, so I bought a hardcopy so that I could experience every word. I was not disappointed.
I'm not sure where the other reviewers are coming from. Perhaps it's a matter of morality. Burdett makes no judgments. Bangkok is presented "as is," as are the characters. Prostitutes, corrupt police officials, transexuals, madams, American tourists, most of whom are men who come to Bangkok specifically for sexual purposes--all of these are presented, not sympathetically, but as human beings rather than as caricatures.
I cannot recommend this book too highly, and I urge Audible to find an unabridged version of Bangkok 8 for us, as well. BTW, although Bangkok 8 is a precursor to this book, it is not necessary to have read it first. There are a few things you will not know, but each book stands on its own--a moving experience that will haunt you long after you've finished it.
"One of the Better Ones"
I listened to this on the strength of someone recommending Bankok 8 which I listened to later. I found this to be superior and thoroghly enjoyed both. If you ever thought of going to Thailand this is a must. Themes helped put our western morality judgments in perspective. The narration is great.
"Very well done"
Overall the book was excellent in its vision of a part of Thai culture that is not usually reported or understood outside of the country. Having lived there for several years it was obvious to me that the author knows his subject well. The plot suffers a little at the end, but that does not diminish the story greatly. My only issue is that narrator mispronounces several Thai words and phrases. This will not bother most readers unless they speak Thai. A good book!.
"a wild ride"
This audio book kept me riveted from beginning to end. The author so clearly knows his subject and I didn't mind the occasional sermonizing one bit. It doesn't mean I agree with everything he says, but it's nice to occasionally get a different point of view. Like Bangkok 8, the story gets a bit baroque towards the end, but that's a minor quibble. If you want to learn something about a different culture and be entertained at the same time, this book is for you.
"Enjoyable Book"
I really enjoyed listening to this book. The narrator was excellent, and made the characters really come alive! The storyline is engaging, and the book is very funny.
The author sometimes makes some harsh statements about westerners, but I generally found the contrasts between Thai and American/Western worldviews and culture to be really interesting.
"Pretty good pulp"
I read Bangkok 8 previously and enjoyed it a bit more. This one drags and gets messy at the end. I also feel like the author forgot the thrust of his main character, that of a strict Buddhist negotiating a contrary life/career. Other than at one point saying he doesn't take bribes there's none of the internal conflict that I found compelling in the first book. That seemed to balance out the sermonizing of the Western way, which in this book is completely unfettered.
"Great Read"
Very fun read. Decent plot and many funny moments. I rate it marginally higher than Bangkok 8, which I also liked.
"Bangkok Tattoo"
I find the John Burdett books a great listen. Paul Boehmer is an excellent narrator.
"Good but a bit on the graphic side"
I liked the cultural insight and diverse perspective this novel (and this series) provides. I enjoyed learning more about Thai culture from a non western perspective. This novel calls for introspection about the beliefs that westerners have about many aspects of Asian and specifically Thai culture and thus promotes an interesting thought journey so to speak.
What didn't I like about this book? This book spends so so so much time justifying the sex industry in Thailand. While I am not opposed to listening to such arguments I just felt like this endless and shameless proselytizing detracted from the plot and character development.
Additionally, I felt like the novel lacked female perspective. With a male author and first person male perspective how can one truly hope to capture the female perspective about the ever prevalent prostitution that goes on in Bangkok.
I enjoyed John Burdett's first novel in this series, "Bangkok 8". this book was not quite as good.
This book was definitely worth listening to.
"mystery until the end"
Maybe it is because I have been to Bangkok many times, but I found this mystery very interesting. As well as a great story it taught me many cultural differences between my western way of life and the mysteries of Thailand. The novel was complete suspense right until the end.

The Air Jordan XII released in '96-'97, so combining it with the Air Max 97 made perfect sense. Somewhat ironic, because the Air Jordan XII was the first Air Jordan shoe to feature Zoom Air, the friendly rival of Air Max, but this combination seems to work well. This was the first colorway of the Jordan CMFT Max 12 to have been revealed, a not so subtle 'hello' due to the croc-print mudguard, metallic silver midsole, and black upper. The Silver/Red colorway – the OG colorway of the Air Max 97 – will be the first release as those will drop this Saturday, but the Black/Metallic Silver will arrive just one week after. Take another look after the jump and let us know what other Air Jordan XII colorways you'd like to see on the CMFT Max 12. via mita.

NSW Irrigators Council will kick the New Year off with a search for a new chief executive, following Andrew Gregson's announcement that he will vacate the role.
Irrigator's chairman, Richard Stott, said Mr Gregson had been a strong advocate at a critical time for the organisation.
"Obviously the Basin Plan was a huge issue for irrigators - and still is," Mr Stott said.
"Andrew assisted Council in ensuring that our voice was heard where it counted in Canberra and Sydney. His advice to broaden the Basin Plan issue to include a range of other groups - and his execution of that - were particularly valuable.
"Our biggest achievement in the last six years has been building our profile through a communications strategy both internally and externally."
Mr Gregson said: "I've greatly enjoyed working for - and with - food and fibre producers for one simple reason; they're worth it. They're a great group of people who I've been delighted to turn up for every day.
"There's a big future for agriculture in Australia - and irrigators lead that future. It has been both a pleasure and an honour to represent them."

Before the calendar turned, 2016 already had the makings of a pivotal year for manufacturing, and for the world.
There were the big events for the year, including the United States as Partner Country at Hannover Messe in April and the 2016 International Manufacturing Technology Show in Chicago in September. There's also the matter of the U.S. presidential elections in November, which promise to shape policy in manufacturing for years to come.
But the year started with global economic turmoil, as a slowdown in Chinese manufacturing triggered a worldwide stock hiccup that sent values plummeting. The continued plunge in world oil prices has resulted in a slowdown in exploration and, by extension, the manufacture of exploration equipment.

Old Trad Dudewrote a question about Black Diamond HotWire Carabiner on June 10, 2010
I have decided to upgrade my 25 year old...
I have decided to upgrade my 25 year old "light D" biners to wiregates. I am looking at the Hotwire or Oz. The Oz is 0.3 ounces lighter, so it is very tempting when I consider that I carry about 40 biners. But it is quite a bit smaller. The neutrino is off my list because it weighs the same as the new Hotwire but is about as small as the Oz.
I am an old trad climber, and do a fair amount of multi-pitch stuff. I am known to take some whippers. Are the ultralight Oz so small that they might break or do a lot of damage to the rope in multiple falls? Are they hard to clip with fatigued fingers? Do slings get bunched up and cause problems when clipped into multiple slings at belay stations?
I am also thinking of getting a 9.8mm or 10.0mm rope to replace my old 10.5mm. So keep this in mind with your response. Also any advice on my rope diameter decision?
Help the geezer.
