US NATO Commander warns of new Russian offensive in Ukraine
The top U.S. commander for NATO said Thursday that America needs better intelligence on the ground in Ukraine, but that it appears Russian forces have used a recent lull in fighting to reposition for another offensive.
Gen. Philip Breedlove, commander of NATO forces in Europe, told the Senate Armed Services Committee, that the situation in Ukraine is volatile and fragile and urged Congress to bolster U.S. intelligence capabilities to better understand President Vladimir Putin's intent in the region.
"Russian military operations over the past year in Ukraine, and the region more broadly, have underscored that there are critical gaps in our collection and analysis," Breedlove said. "Some Russian military exercises have caught us by surprise and our textured feel for Russian involvement on the ground in Ukraine has been quite limited."
He said the number of Russia intelligence experts has dwindled since the Cold War and intelligence assets of all kind have been shifted to the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
"We cannot be fully certain what Russia will do next and we cannot fully grasp Putin's intent. What we can do is learn from his actions," Breedlove said. "What we do see suggests growing Russian capabilities, significant military modernization and an ambitious strategic intent."
"Russian forces used the opportunities presented by the recent lull in fighting to reset and reposition while protecting their gains," he said. "Many of their actions are consistent with preparations for another offensive."

Our January has been pretty rough! For the first 2 weeks Colton slept through the night only twice! So I finally took him in to the dr thinking it was an ear infection, but it was just 4 TEETH coming through! He's been gnawing on everything since September and now he's finally getting the last of his teeth! Hooray - except there are still the 2 year old molars to look forward too. :)
(This is how Colton folds his arms)
He had his 18 month checkup and I had been concerned for a while that he wasn't hearing normally - for example he has some toys that have music that he puts right up to his ears and he still doesn't have any words! We work on "mama" and "dada" everyday. So the first question the doctor asks is, "How many words does he know?" So I was able to explain my concerns and she explained that sometimes they can only hear certain tones, etc... and that we should schedule a hearing test (they're going to put headphones and electrodes on him to measure brain wave activity ? - that's how they can tell if he's hearing something or not) She also wanted to have him do a speech evaluation which I think is funny considering he's not going to be doing much speaking - ha ha - so that is scheduled for next month at Phoenix Children's Hospital. I'm interested to see what comes of it...
Now, with all of that said, as you can see from the video below we know he can hear and understand when we ask him if he wants to go to timeout and he shakes his head no. He just cracks us up. At his 18mo check up he got 5 immunizations (4 different shots) and that afternoon he had a fever (as predicted) we gave him tylenol and motrin for that day and into the next day. The next night his fever spiked to 106! So we took him to an Urgent Care where he was diagnosed with pnemonia! Yeah, we were shocked - he wasn't even coughing. So two more sleepless nights later and 4 more doses of antibiotics and we finally got our little man back to his usual hyper self!
See what I mean when I say that January was a bad month! (knock on wood since it's not over yet :)

What's the product? Studies are carried out to evaluate the aptitude of the present system to meet operational necessities, given the uncertainties of inflow and electricity demand, and numerous operating elements. Tactical planning is an extension of strategic planning, and tactical plans are created for all ranges of a corporation.
Joint operation planning supplies a typical foundation for discussion, understanding, and change for the joint force, its subordinate and higher headquarters, the joint planning and execution group (JPEC), and the nationwide leadership. On this article, you will study concerning the gross sales and operations planning process and finest practices, including steps for fulfillment and a discussion of common challenges.
An operational plan makes use of a company's financial ratios to analyze profitability. In addition to this technical information, there are the social and governmental organizations that BC Hydro consults with in its planning process guaranteeing every operations planning resolution is well-rounded and complete.
One other drawback of tactical planning is that it might probably trigger a decelerate in a firm's operations if the plan is extensive. Two specialists weighed in on the longer term for gross sales and operations planning. The purpose of the Operational Plan is to supply organisation personnel with a clear image of their tasks and obligations in line with the goals and objectives contained inside the Strategic Plan.
However, production planning only focuses on the actual production, while operation planning appears to be like at the operation as an entire. Medium-time period operations planning gives guidance for marketing selections and for the operation of the electric system.

They saw the different types of vegetation found in rain forests, and understood the differences in the flora and the fauna. The monkeys on the trees, the mist in the mountains and the cool air, everything was a novel experience for them. They even interacted with an Adivasi archer and practiced shooting with a bow and arrow. By evening they had developed a strong bond with nature and did not want to return.

The Western Star Vol 1, No. 59 Corner. Brook, Newfoundland, Friday, December 5, 1952 32 Pages—Five Cents Eisenhower Spends Three Days In Korea By DON WHITEHEAD KOREAN FIGHTING IS BATTLE FOR OBSERYAHON POSTS The ravaged face of a Korean hill near Sniper Ridge bears stark witness to the bitter see-saw fighting as two weary U.N. soldiers keep a sharp lookout from their observation post. Overlooking Triangle Hill and Pike's Peak, the post is in an excellant vantage point in clear weather. NOW ON WAY HOME AFTER SECRET VISIT SEOUL <AP> President-elect Eisenhower left Korea .by plane at 8:01 p.m. (6:01 a.m., EST) Friday after his historic visit to the war-front. He ia en route home after three action-packed days of seekirtg a way to peace in this frozen land of war and misery. Eisenhower left a secretly and quietly as he came. He arrived Tuesday and left today. He found Korea raw and cold, heaped with the dead and rubble of war, a wail' among nations shivering in its third winter of strife. If he found a way to stop the slaughter, he did not say so. Neither did he divulge any plans he may have formed to take U.S. troops at once from foxholes and replace them with freshly-trained Republic of Korea troops. Talked With Soldiers The first U.S. President-elect to tread a smoking battlefield, Eisenhower talked with generals and soldiers, bunkered against sleet, snow wind in the razor-edged mountains. The general talked with troops of the U-S., Korea, Britain, Canada, France, Australia, New Zealand, Thai, the Philippines the countries whose young men keep the northern watch in Asia against encroaching Communism. The President-elect risked death from Russian-made jet fighters and from snipers and assassins on the ground. The first announcement of his history-making visit was brief. It said, in effect, he came, looked, and left. Eisenhower appeared hardy and rested as he was whisked from command post to command post in light planes. Kacl(breaking Tour He jumped off on a backbreaking inspection tour the first day, talking to Sabre jet pilots, marines and soldiers. One of his first stops was at the headquarters of the U.S. Ist Corps, where he reviewed troops gathered from all 17 United Nations units serving in Korea. Eisenhower's son, Maj. John Eisenhower, was assigned as his father's aide during his tour' of Korea. Young Eisenhower is assistant operations officer of the I U.S. 3rd Infantry Division in Korea. Also along was a host of brass, including Defence Secretary-designate Charles E. Wilson, the In| coming attorney-general, Herbert I Brownell, Jr.; the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff, Gen. Omar Bradley; the Navy's Pacific commander. Admiral Arthur Radford, and the two top Far East commanders, Gen. Mark Clark and Gen. James A. Van Fleet. Others he talked with were Maj.- Gen. Stephen R. ShoOsmith of the British Army and deputy commander to General Clark, and Maj.-Gen. William Chase, head of the United States military mission in Formosa, seat of Nationalist China's government. Visited Wounded Men He watched firing from artillery posts, tramped in the snow and visited freshly-wounded at receiving stations in the field. Jeeping through the brisk Korean cold. Eisenhower wore a furhoodedfurhooded air force parka, field bodts and wool olive drab trousers. Sometimes he traded his coatujrte for a regular army field jacket and pilo cap. Eisenhower carried no pistol but Van Fleet sported his usual white handled automatic. The long flight from the U.S. apparently did not faze Eisenhower. He was in high spirits, lie kept up a running fire of conversation with the field commanders. i Occasionally, he paused for a joke or an anecdote with his old West Point companions, Clark and Van Fleet. He got a laugh when he examined foot-long icicles hanging from an army building. i He apparently was ready for exercise after the long flight. Left Plane At Iwo Jima To maintain secrecy en route to Korea, Eisenhower did not leave his plane until It reached lonely Iwo Jima in the Pacific. H« Had remained quietly aboard while the sleek Constellation refueled At Travis Air Force Base, Calif., Hickam Field, Hawaii and Midway.The long-range Constellation could have made much longer jumps but the Air Force chose safer leap-frog island flights to insure plenty of fuel was aboard. Even on bleak Iwo, Eisenhower took time out for talks and inspections and was brief on the problems of the island. On the long jaunt from New York. Eisenhower* plane carried a double crew to insure that a rested and alert hand was on the controls at all times. The jplatte carried two pilots in addition to another veteran pilot as aircraft commander. One was Maj. William G. Draper, the general's pilot in Europe when he headed the NATO forces. Another plane followed. This carried newspaper men and the general's press secretary, Jaities C. Hagerty. Carried Out Promise A secret service man was aboard each plane. The general carried out a campaign promise to go to Korea and see what could be done about the stalemated war. But he kept a tight lip as to what he planned to do about it when he becomes U.S. President Jan. 20. A complete news blackout on all his movements prevailed from the time he walked from New York's Hotel Commodore as if he were going for a stroll. The Army and the secret service combined to give him every protection possible. A small party accompanied the general while his New York headquarters threw up a news screen by doling out the names of the general's future cabinet and aides. As Eisenhower left Korea, Gen. Clark, United Nations Far East commander and the man credited with giving the President-elect his first big chance as a leader of cont- COMMONWEALTH CONFERENCE: CONVERTIBLE POUND CONTENTIOUS POINT LONDON (API The British family of nations was reported split today over ways to give the pound sterling more freedom and to harness the vast resources of the Commonwealth. N One week of closed discussions by statesmen of the nine-country Commonwealth group has produced agreement on several important. Juestions. But ranking delegates have begun to warn that no "cut-anddried plan-' for settling the group's troubles is likely to emerge (mm the conference, which still has another week to go. Differences On the following crucial questions there seem to be troublesome differences: 1. How to achieve the common goal of a convertible pound one Lhat can be freely exchanged for any foreign money, 2. How to maintain and expand Industrial development programs within the Commonwealth and at the same time produce more doliLr-saving food and raw materials. 3. How to fit the Commonwealth Into a liberalized, expanding world trade pattern when such countries tis India. Pakistan and Ceylon insist on maintaining protections and Quotas of all sorts. 4. How to maintain sterling solidarity while Britain's capital resources and productive capacity remain low. On each issue, an informant Laid, Britain has found herself underunder fire, her policies freely critic ized by some of hei best friends. Sometimes Britain found hersftll with some support. Sometimes not. .On convertibility, with Indian Pakistani and Ceylonese support Britain has opposed Canadian Australian, New Zealand and South African pressure to takr quick steps toward freeing the pound. A temporary compromise seemr to have been reached, however Britain, wanting to go slow, is reported to have obtained deferment.'' of a decision until view of the new U.S. Republican administration can be learned early next year. Wants U.S. Capital " On industrialization. South Af rif*a's minister of economic affairs Eric Louw, apparently keynoted the feelings of the expanding young Commonwealth states when ho said in an interview his government could no longer look to Britain alone for capital and goods. He made it plain that South Africa in the future wants new investment capital from the United States. His "government, he said, will continue its industrialization program although its first concern will be to consolidate past developments rather than set up any new industries. Louw is known to have criticized Britain indirectly during the conference for not coptttg effectively with inflation at homo and for a lag in delivery of capital goods to South Africa. Such young countries as South Africa. Canada. New Zealand and Australia seem inclined to see the Commonwealth economic crisis as mainly a British trouble. Vandalism, Fires In Five Churches Traced To Girl POND CREEK, Okla (AP>— Vandalism and fires in five churches were traced today to a 13-year-old school girl who said she res?nt°d religion.

The prelate said he would "spend the holy season of Christmastide with America's soldier-sons sacrificing and struggling, suffering lyiti dying in the frozen war-torn lands of the Pacific." He added, "The very spirit of Christmas demands that I bring •olace and spiritual comfort to America's brave, beloved soldiere on far-flung foreign fields." "Peaceful" H-bomb Power Possible WASHINGTON (API An itomic scientist came up today vith the first public examination >n how hydrogen bomb materials night be tamed for peaceful uses luch as power. Electricity discharged through a Lwin wire might set off a "slowedlown" reaction which could be controlled for various purposes.. Dr. George Gamow told a reporter. lie Maid there are other "theoretically possible" techniques that might even he better, but he declined to amplify. Until recently the general view, including that of most top scientists. has been that atomic energy could be released from hydrogen only through a terrific explosion. Gamow. nn internationallyknowninternationallyknown theoretical physicist who serves as a consultant to the atomic Energy Commission, made the comments when asked about a recent statement by Senator Bourke Hickenlooper (Rep. lowa*, a membe1 of the Joint Congressional Atomic Committee. Hickenlooper said that "the hydrogen picture contains some hope, in time, for peaceful and constructive applications." Hickenlooper's statement and one made by Committee Chairman Brien McMahon shortly before his death last July provided the first indication that atomic officials see a possibility of using hydrogen fusion reactions for something other than projected Hbombs. The AEC has said nothing along that line. TV rnnKHitns of mont top scientists has been not only that fusion would involve an explosion in itself but also that it would have to be triggered by an exploding A-bomb. Hickenlooper's statement was described by tho Federation of American Scientists 'as "more startling to scientists outside the AEC than the 'news' and rumors of a hydrogen bomb . . . The application would be in power, conversion to electrical energy of energy gained from fusion Dr. Gamow said he didn't know what Hickenlooper had in mind. But he told a reporter that It's at least theoretically possible to get a "slowed-down" atomic reaction with hydrogen bomb materials by causing a powerful electric discharge through a thin wire placed in such material*. No Quick Cure For Ending War, Ike Declares ■ Seoul (APt Presidentelect Eisenhower told a crowd of 125 newspaper, radio and maga-sine correspondents today he hay no quick cure for ending the Korean war. He emphasized that he had •ome to Korea to study the situation. He permitted no question? it the pre« 3 conference. He talked, rapidly and seriously, for 10 minutes- and that was that. Reporters, loaded with quesions and Itching to ask them as •he zero hour of Ike's departure from Korea loomed, got a letdown when he said: "Now all of you people know, that have been with me in the past, it is my common practice to ask for questions after such a conference. This, I am not going to do today for the very specific reason it is a large conference and I could not possibly get around and time that I have is limited." A moment later,' he was gone.

He had arrived last night to consult the government.Says Govt. Should Invest In Roads, Not Railways HAMffflnlfr 'rP) r"ir" iKiiy Canadian Government would be better advised to invest in road: 'or motor vehicles than in additional rolling stock for the railways, T. J. Mahony, honorary secretary of the Canadian Good Roads Association said today ir. replying to statements made by Donald Gordon, president of the Canadian National Railways. Mr. Mahony took issue with Mr. Gordon on his contention that the railways alone were capable of handling mass population movements in times of national emergency. "More efficiently" Such movements would be more efficiently handled by motor ve'ucles, Mr. Mahony said, not only because there were more road arteries than rail lines, but because in a city Hamilton, for instance, its 68,000 motor vehicle* could move the entire population out of the city in a few hours. On the other hand, It would take '.he railways days to assemble the rolling stock for the job and their concentration in one area would completely deprive other areas o* service. "More people and more freight move over Canada's road 3 and highways than move by air. rail and water combined," Mr. Mahony said, "and yet the federal government contribute* nothing toward the maintenance and expansion of the highway systems. At the same time, it is pouring millions of dollars into transpor tation by air, rail and water." Canada Should Have Part In Shaping Korean War Policy, Says Army Vet OTTAWA (CP) An army veteran of th« Second World War suggested yesterday in the Commons that Canada should have "some part in determining the conduct of the war in Korea." Lt.-Col. Gordon Churchill, Progressive Conservative member for Winnipeg South Centre, said the Canadian casualty rate is as heavy as the casualty rate at Dieppe. "The only difference is that at Dieppe the casualty rate of 60 per cent was suffered in a period of nine hours and the casualty rate of 68 per cent in Korea has been spread over 22 months," said Col. Churchill. Canada has suffered 1,245 casualties so far in Korea, including 233 dead, 899 wounded, 28 missing, 84 injured in action and one cap-H-V ; v •***>•«<■• ■ "NOT A POLICE ACTION IT IS WAR" Col. Churchill, commander of the Ist Canadian Armored Carrier Regiment in Europe during the Second World War, said: "This is not a police action in Korea; it is war, with all its horrors, its suffering and its bloodshed." Canada, he added, must back her troops there not only with arms and ammunition but by having some say in the conduct of the war. "Canadian military experience is, at the very least, the equal of United States military experience." He noted reports that ammunition was being rationed to Canadian troops in Korea. If the reports were true a full explanation should be given to Parliament. "In the third year of any war, there should not be a trickle, but a flood of ammunition," he said. ARK WE TAKING EVERY PRECAUTION . . "We have lost the equivalent of the fighting strength of two battalions. We are calling upon our young men to sacrifice their young lives on the field of battle thousands of miles from home. Are we taking every precaution to see that not one of those lives is needlessly lost?" Col. Churchill was one of several to participate in continued debate on the Speech from the Throne. At the House opening. Defence Minister Claxton, who leaves today for the Atlantic Pact council meeting in Paris, said Canada is willing to consider any suggestions for strengthening western defence but he knows of no proposal that Canada increase military commitments in Europe.

Cleveland industrialist, yesterday. The new field is 400 miles due north of Knob Lake to which a rail line is being laid from the port of Sept lies, on the North shore of the St. Lawrence River 300 miles to the south. Mr. Eaton said the deposit is so located that water transportation to Europe would be the logical route for the ore to follow. United States firms are attempting tc develop a commercially practicable method of processing lower grade ore. Before the find, roughly opposite the southernmost tip of Greenland, can be exploited, a way must be found to process ore on the spot and make it ready for the blast furnaces of Europe. He said the find is of almost "unlimited tonnage", on the surface and easily mined. Criticizes Failure Of U.N. Countries To Pull Weight ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. —(CP) —Senator Paul Douglas iDem. 111.) last night criticized what he called the failure of several Unitad .Nations countries to pull their weight in the Korean war. He told a meeting at the Ambassador's Club that Australia, New Zealand and Canada are not carrying their share of the fighting. He recommended that a limited offensive be launched, and said many more troops are needed for such an operation. Australia and New Zealand, he said, are "extremely isolationist. Canada, he said today when asked to amplify his reference, "tends to be isolationist." In his speech last night, Douglas suggested that Canadians "Measure their contribution in Korea in relation to the size and population" of their country.

Suggests Haig, Not Drew, P.C. Head OTTAWA —(CP)— The government leader in the Senate today suggested—with some sarcasmthat Senator John T. Haig is the leader of the Progressive Conservative party and not George Drew. Senator Haig heads the eigfitmember Progressive Conservative membership in the 102-seat Upper Chamber. The government leader, Senator Wishart Robertson, said Senator Haig had appealed for less political debate in the" Senate and had charged that Canada spends as much on defence as though she had 300,(MM) men under arms instead of 100.000. Senator Robertson said a "deep reason" prompted the first statement by l£enator Haig, whom he described as "on* of the shrewdest and ablest political figures in Can- I ada." He added: "With that astuteness which characterizes him, he feels that it would probably be well not to emphasize the political side of the issue hoping that the latent ability of my supporters will show itself by their fighting among themselves."Senator Halg's remarks on defence closely resembled those made later in a radio address by Progressive Conservative members of Parliament. That led Senator Robertson to think there had been some consultation on the matter. "I was only thinking a little faster than they were," Senator Haig interjected. Replied Senator Robertson: "That simply confirms my view that my honorable friend is the leader of his party and that they will adopt today what ho said yesterday." He said Senator Haig criticized the government because defence spending nearly equalled that of wartime year*. But he forgot that defence spending now it largely for the moot expensive Item—air power. Canada now spent only 10 per cent of her gross national product for defence compared with 25 pei cent in 1943. If the time ever came when 25 per cent expenditure was needed again, the government might follow Senator Haig's sug gestion that part of the load be borne by future generations. "He foreshadowed a policy of deficit financing. If his party got to power, to ease temporarily tie tax load by passing oa to some extent the present cost of armament*."(Continued on Page 5)

Second!!Posted on in news post site remodel
Because saying "first" would've been inaccurate. Anyway, Square-Headed returns today with a brand new... story arc. That's right. Beginning today, Square-Headed's format has changed from the standard strip(Pearls Before Swine, Dilbert, Penny Arcade, etc.) to more of a continuing story-line thing(Naruto, How I Killed Your Master, Judge Parker). This will allow me to introduce more story(and backstory) than I could previously, which is something I've wanted to do for a long time.
With this new format is a new update schedule as well, with three new comics being posted each week. How is this going to work out? I don't know. I'm pretty dependant on reader feedback now, so I'm going to once again ask that everyone try to leave comments so that I can get an idea on what I should improve on.
I would like to welcome everyone, new and old, to Square-Headed's new home. I hope that my comic remains entertaining so that people can continue to read and enjoy what it has to offer. But should it fail to be entertaining, please tell me. I really, really need to know. Thank you for reading my work, and have a nice day.
Dark-NESS, AKA Jeff Hackmann.
P.S. Coming Tuesday: The History of Square-Headed Part 1.
P.P.S. I'm not used to writing news posts. I hope I get better at that, too.

A trip to Bruges in the Mercedes R107 500SL
Any restoration project takes time, so the eventual the completion of Bruce Greetham's Mercedes 107 SL restoration was celebrated with a memorable trip to Europe.
SLSHOP Managing Director, Bruce, purchased the 107 SL back in 2011. While it wasn't an expensive car to buy, it was a restoration project which would require a significance investment of time, money and expertise for it to reach its potential.
It was a nautic blue colour which boasted cream interior. It was one of the later models of the 107 SL that were produced but arrived in a state requiring more than a little TLC. While on the outside the car looked in good condition, it would take nearly six years for the restoration to be fully completed. Read all about Bruce's epic restoration here.
Bruce recalls the condition of the car when he bought it, and what the aim was with it.
He said: "It was 500 with all options; cruise control, air conditioning, heated seats. You name it, it had everything, including a perfect colour combination.
"I got it restored to a level which I thought would be respectable for holidays and drives. It wasn't an everyday car. However, as I started to get in to the project I realised that I had a desire inside of me to do concours.
"I find it very satisfying to prepare a car to that level. So, this relatively simple restoration turned in to a near six-year project."
A thorough restoration
The restoration had turned in to something much more thorough than first imagined. It's what Bruce refers to as a 'nut and bolt restoration' in which just about every part of the car is examined and worked on.
Bruce said: "Over the years I have been learning and understanding these cars. I've learned that corrosion is a killer to the point where it can ruin very good cars. Areas such as the bulkhead, weaker points of cars, jacking points, chassis legs and boot floors can all become susceptible to corrosion. To a large extent though, it can be hidden away.
"To untrained eye it may look okay, after all, it's nice and shiny on the outside.
"So, this is about putting the integrity back in to the car. Building the bulkhead and making an SL which would be fully restored. Engine, paintwork, trim. Nothing was left untouched. It was restored to the level of a brand-new car."
"I wanted to excel both for myself and the business. We wanted a car which could really show what we were about. It was partly showing off. If you're telling people you want the best, then this is what you've got to aim for. If you've got the funds, the enthusiasm, the drive, the commitment and patience to see a car to that level, this is what a 107 can be."
A maiden trip to Bruges
Upon completion of the restoration, Bruce and his wife had chosen to take a trip to Bruges in the 107 to celebrate their wedding anniversary.
Having worked on the car for so long, he had then made meticulous plans for this special trip. Bruges was specifically chosen as the destination and everything was falling in to place for a memorable trip.
Bruce recalls: "Bruges was where I wanted to go. It wasn't going to be the south of France.
I wanted to go somewhere which allowed us to spend a good day in the car. It was to be our maiden trip in the 107 SL and was also a celebration of our 20th wedding anniversary.
"It was exciting, yet as the trip grew closer, it made me nervous, as it always does. To drive over the continent in a car like that which you've rebuilt is a great pleasure but does not come without stress. As we got closer to departure day, the anxiety really did begin to build.
"The preparation gets a bit more intense. You need to convince yourself that the car doesn't just look good on the outside, but also does what it says on the tin. That was important to me that I had both, especially for a trip like this one."
Nothing was being left to chance. Everything had been planned out down to the clothes the couple would wear on the trip. Unfortunately, there was one element they couldn't plan for.
"When you've got a car to this sort of grade and level, you want everything to be perfect on it – especially on a trip like this. Everything including the weather, what you're wearing and of course the journey ahead.
"These trips are the reason that you have a car like this. it's a lifestyle thing."
"I was watching the weather like a hawk. Unfortunately, the weather turned for the worst. Not just rain, but a torrential downpour on the morning of our departure. That morning I had reached the point that I had to turn to my wife and had to question if were going in the right car?
"However, my heart said to me that it wasn't just about the driving. I wanted to be able to report back with a story to tell everybody about these cars. They can actually drive in the rain and they do work!
"So that was my intention, to come away with a talking point to say "I've done it"."
And do it, they did. Despite questioning whether to take his wife's black SLK 230 compressor, which he concedes would have been more comfortable, in the end Bruce stuck to his guns and the Mercedes 107 SL was taken out of the garage for the trip.
Bruce said: "We're a Mercedes family, we've always had them for years now. Both modern and classics.
"I knew that this (the 107) was the one for this trip. I wanted photos and to show people who had known me for years and watched me restore the car. They were in anticipation for the trip as well, desperate to hear how we fared. So, I had to prove to everybody that it would work.
"I wanted to show them it could do it, did do the job.
"So, after six years of concours restoration, six years spent in the garage dreaming every day of driving down there to Belgium in fine weather, it wasn't meant to be.
"As I backed it out of the garage the rain was just bouncing off the top of the soft-top the likes of which you've never seen. It was a complete it was a disaster for me.
"Hitting the motorway with about 20 yards of visibility thanks to the spray coming off of lorries. A four-hour journey ahead.
"However, as the miles passed I was becoming more comfortable with it. I was driving at modern motorway speeds and the car was quite capable of doing it. It was enjoyable."
Anyone who has driven a classic car or been out on the road in a car that they have lovingly restored will know the kind of reaction you get from members of the public when they see it. Even on this wet and dull day, their was a lot of love for the 107 SL.
"We got lots of looks, thumbs-up and waves from people. It was nice. When I stopped for petrol and went to pay, I looked back toward the car and realised that it didn't look as good as it did when I took it out of the garage earlier that morning.
"I thought let's see the journey through and do something about it when we get there.
We got to the Channel Tunnel and unfortunately there was a long, long delay. I carry around a lot of the cleaning gear for the car all of the time, so, I thought it was a good opportunity to clean the car up – in the car park, outside the channel tunnel!
"I was cleaning it for two hours to get it to a point that satisfied my mind that I could continue the journey! My wife is used to me doing it, so she was happy that I was happy!
"At this point, the sunshine had come out as well, and so it looked like I had a dirty car. I had to clean it."
With the car cleaned and ready to hit the road again, this memorable anniversary trip to Bruges thankfully went without hiccups for the remainder of it.
Bruce said: "We arrived in Bruges after a long day. The car performed great, no oil leaks or anything which is great testament to the car really.
"We had a great car park – the concierge gave us a great parking area and I felt reassured that i wouldn't get damage to the car while there. I think that's important when you've invested that much time and money in to the car. Also, to take a trip like that, you want to enjoy your time there, not be constantly worried about potentially returning to a damaged car."

I ran from Snorlax on acident on the bridge. Is there a way to catch him again?
Rebattle the Elite 4 and Go to the bridge
Sumwun is right. Go back to the bridge after fighting the Elite 4, and he will be back. Not sure if he appears if you kill him afterwards, but I did get another chance at Snorlax, which was great.

Every day, Villeroy & Boch's lovingly designed children's crockery transports junior explorers to a world packed with exciting adventures. Along the way, they will meet wild animals who turn out to be friendly companions and smile mischievously at well-behaved children. The charming patterns in the child-friendly Animal Friends, Chewy Around the World and Lily in Magicland collections will enthral even the most fidgety and reluctant eater, helping them to master the great challenge of sitting still while eating. Under the good-humoured gaze of cute animals, it is a lot easier to spoon up every last mouthful from the plate and hungrily tuck in to healthy meals along with panda, monkey, turtle and friends.
Junior gourmets are happiest when their meals are served on their very own personal plate. Villeroy & Boch therefore offers a wide selection of children's crockery for your little ones. While very young children can be fed using a baby set, older foodies can proudly grip their very own cutlery and enjoy food served on beautifully decorated porcelain children's plates. Double-handled cups support unsteady young hands with first attempts to drink independently. They can then progress to their own cereal bowl for muesli or a delicious dessert, accompanied by a colourful children's tumbler. For a snack or something more substantial, the double-wall thermal jar can be filled with tasty treats.
Children want to discover the world in their own way and learn about it step by step. With Villeroy & Boch's creatively designed crockery, tailored specially to children's needs, you are giving your child the perfect tools to help them learn to eat and drink independently, improving a little each day. And because, despite the greatest care, small mishaps are unavoidable, and little whirlwinds can sometimes be very impulsive, all crockery items are made from very resistant porcelain. There is also a 2-year breakage guarantee for all products from the Lily in Magicland, Animal Friends and Chewy Around the World collections from the date of purchase.
When it comes to a birth, christening or first birthday, aunts, uncles, grandparents and family friends are faced with the pressing question of finding the perfect gift for the new arrival. A pretty Villeroy & Boch children's crockery set made from strong porcelain or a cutlery set is a personal and yet practical gift idea. Or what about a pretty candy box in which you can hide a sweet treat? A tooth box decorated with animal patterns to store a child's first teeth as a very special memory makes a fantastic present for little nephews, nieces or grandchildren.

This treatment has been around for over four years and has been approved by the TGA, FDA, and CE or European medical clearance organisations. It can thus be said that with extensive investigations and trials, this treatment is both safe and effective.
Please note that, by Australian law, we are not allowed to use the product brand name on our website
The double chin injections contain a product which contains deoxycholic acid, found naturally in the body, and helps absorb fat in food. The product is injected into the fat in the double chin area and permanently destroys the fat cells by a process known as adipocytolysis. Once the fat cells have been destroyed they cannot store fat again. Imagine your fat cells are balloons and double chin injections are darts. Injecting the product under the chin is like throwing a dart at fat cells. Once they have been popped they cannot be blown up again.
Are double chin injections painful? – We are now using a local anesthetic to numb the double chin area before treatment. This means that, after injecting a local anesthetic, you will barely feel the double chin injections. After injection, the area can feel firm and a little tender but patients often use panadol and ice to reduce this discomfort.
Are double chin injections safe? – Yes. It is a nonsurgical treatment with an acceptable side effect profile.
Does the product permanently remove double chin fat? Yes – double chin injections permanently destroys double chin fat. Once the fat cells have been destroyed they will never return.
Am I guaranteed to see results? – 68.2% of patients noticed at least a 1 grade or more improvement in the fullness of their double chin area (see scale below) and 16% of patients noticed a 2 grade or more improvement in double chin fullness.
How many vials do I need to treat my double chin? – The average patient needs at least 2 vials injected into the double chin fat at each treatment.
How many treatments will I need? – We recommend at least 2 treatments of at least 2 vials to see results.
Will I see results straight away? – No, it takes up to 6 weeks for you to notice the effects. We treat patients at 6-week intervals.
What are the main side effects of double chin injections? – We expect swelling around the treatment area on the day. We like swelling because it means the treatment is working. In fact, we say please call us if it does not swell! Swelling means that the body is destroying fat cells. This also means we recommend icing the skin and resting at home after treatment rather than going back to work.

"Run little man!" A voice yells from out of the darkness. "Run, but you won't escape, I'll find you and gut you like the pig you are!"
He feels the pain rip into his lungs, burning his throat, as he pushes himself forward, faster, harder, his stomach twists and turns, agony rips through him, sweat pours from his skin. This night, what was to be a celebration of his deeds, has fallen into decay, nothing has gone the way he planned, for all his grand schemes, his wants, his desires, he knows, his time is running out, and soon, he will face his judgement. He darts a panicked look over his shoulder as he continues to run through the deserted, arse ridden streets, of the once overpowering city, flooded with life, that is now a wasteland, a perverted nightmare, one that is coming for him, she, is coming for him. He sprints around the corner, slipping, sliding, losing his balance on the sludge covered concrete and smashes, headlong into a wall. For a few frantic moments he feels the world spin uncontrollably, black and white flashes invade his vision, ringing screams in his ears, and then, the shadows seem to dart towards him. He feels the pain, he sees her eyes, and he lets out a scream of terror. She pulls the blade back and thrusts it forward again, the knife tears into his stomach and he screams out in pain, "Does it hurt?" She asks, gripping him by the face, then begins to greedily lick up the tears that run down his cheeks, before shoving him backwards and laughing as he crashes to the ground in a heap. "Are you going to cry some more?"
"Don't be foolish, this isn't the time to ask, you pathetic screw ball, you think it's all over, you think the night is just going to end and you'll be back in your basement pulling your tiny cock to internet porn, or whatever weird shit you like to fondle yourself to," she says as she straddles him and pulls his head from the ground by his hair, digging the blade against his throat. "Well, fucker, do you?"
"P-P-Please, just let…" she slices the knife's blade across his face, he screams in pain.
"Please what? Please let me go? Are you fucking serious, are you really asking that!" She says, as she slices his other cheek open and then digs the blade into his shoulder, he screams out in agony.
"I'M SORRY!" He yells out.
"Is that supposed to make me forgive you? Did it work for me? Did you let me go? Should I keep on going, or should I just feed you to your maker!" She yells as she pulls the knife free and drives it through his left eye. "No, you kept me locked up in that cage for months, you piece of shit, meet your end!" He twitches uncontrollably as she twists the knife in his socket, and then, he goes still, a muffled gargling noise comes from his throat, and, for the first time in months, she allows herself a moment, to smile.

Our mission is to provide our customers with the highest quality Bourbon at the best possible price. Mike Paladini & Danny Polise, Co-founders - Penelope Bourbon Bottling Co.Click to explore our complete library of reviews to help you choose your next perfect bottle.
Penelope Bourbon
- DISTILLER: Penelope Bourbon Bottling Co. (Sourced from MGP)
- MASH BILL: 75% Corn | 15% Wheat | 7% Rye | 3% Malted Barley - A blend of the following 3 bourbons from MGP:
- 99% Corn Bourbon from MGP - aged three years
- 21% Rye Bourbon from MGP - aged three years
- 45% Wheat Bourbon from MGP - aged two years
- AGE: No formal age statement but per the above bourbons used in the blend, it is technically a 2 year old bourbon and therefore, correctly listed as a "straight bourbon whiskey"
- PROOF: 80 Proof (40% ABV)
- BUY ONLINE: Wine-Searcher.com
NOSE: Sweet Candy | Butterscotch | Light Floral | Faint Spice
TASTE: Sweet Cream | Oak | Vanilla | Young Grain
FINISH: Short, leaving with an oaky favor
SHARE WITH: While young this is a very approachable bourbon to share with those new to bourbons. I found it easy to drink and pleasant. While at 40% abv, it does not knock your socks off, but it is a nice pour.
WORTH THE PRICE: At about $35 MSRP, I think it is properly priced for a sourced craft bourbon. By blending barrels, they have produced something different.
BOTTLE, BAR OR BUST: This is a young bourbon that, it seems to me, is targeted at a broad audience of those not consumed with bourbon minutia. I would suggest trying it at a bar first, if possible. There are better bottles at this price point, but I would not be disappointed to purchase a bottle if I was looking for something different.
OVERALL: They named Penelope bourbon after the new born daughter of one of the co-founders, Mike Paladini. He along with his life-long friend, Danny Polise, both from Basking Ridge, NJ, formed Penelope bourbon bottling Company.
The originally provided description of the mash bill was a little puzzling. They indicated it was a blend of three bourbons: Corn, Wheat, and Rye, all containing Malted Barley for the fourth grain component but aged separately. After some back and forth with the brand we obtained the list of MGP bourbon mash bills used in the blend. And while they are not able to share with us the ratio of those bourbons in the final product, they are able to give us the final product's resulting mash bill percentages. All that being said, Penelope is a sweet young bourbon that is very approachable, while not deep in flavor or complexity.
I went into this tasting with modest expectations and was pleasantly surprised. This bottling is a very limited release of 1900 bottles, so if you are outside of New Jersey it may be tough to find. For cocktails, being a light sweet bourbon blend, I suggest staying away from Manhattans or Old Fashions. I did try it in a Boulevardier (equal parts bourbon, sweet vermouth, and Campari, with an orange peal garnish). It had a hard time standing up to the Campari. With all that being said, it is better to stick with the lighter cocktails, like the ones that they recommend on their site.
By the way, they ask "Can anyone guess what type of flower is behind the P?" It looks to my wife like a Peony, I know nothing of flowers.

NOSE: Sweet Corn | Wheat | Buttery | Orange Zest
TASTE: Vanilla | Corn Syrup | Toasted Oak
FINISH: Short with candied orange peel.
SHARE WITH: At only 80 proof this is a good bourbon to share with friend who are just now dipping their toes into the world of bourbon. It's combination of low proof and sweetness will make for an easy first sip for most beginners.
WORTH THE PRICE: $35 seems reasonable for a sourced bourbon when you compare it to most other sourced whiskies on the market today. But remember that this one is only a few years old and the price reflects compared to older sourced releases.
BOTTLE, BAR OR BUST: For those that are just getting into bourbon, I don't have an issue recommending this as a bottle. I've often suggested Basil Hayden's to new drinkers and these days it has the same $35 price point. The sweetness of this release, is in contrast to Basil Hayden's high-rye mash bill, and I think most new bourbon drinkers will appreciate the extra sweetness while their palate becomes familiar with whiskey.
OVERALL: Penelope is not going to wow seasoned drinkers but it's clear that's not its target audience. For those that are new to the category and are looking for bourbon to get their "feet wet", this is a solid option. While there are cheaper options on the market, I feel Penelope might do a better job than some in keeping some drinkers interested in bourbon beyond their first glass.

Living the Gospel Life
And they devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and the prayers. 43 And awe came upon every soul, and many wonders and signs were being done through the apostles. 44 And all who believed were together and had all things in common. 45 And they were selling their possessions and belongings and distributing the proceeds to all, as any had need. 46 And day by day, attending the temple together and breaking bread in their homes, they received their food with glad and generous hearts,47 praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord added to their number day by day those who were being saved. – Acts 2:42-47
Living the Gospel Life is the name of a devotional magazine for which Diane and I both wrote for a couple of years. Published by Creative Communications for the Parish in St. Louis, MO, it never attained critical mass, however, and is no longer being published. Diane continues to write for it's sister publication: Hopeful Living, a devotional publication especially for senior adults. We both enjoyed LTGL writing for it's focus on the intentional missional living bent of the devotions. In other words, it was all about what is expressed in these verses from Acts 2.
First and foremost is the devotion to the Apostle's teaching. The Word of God is essential to a well-founded faith. And that word tells us of God's rich love, merciful forgiveness, and gracious gift of salvation through faith in Jesus Christ. Peter has brought God's word to bear on the lives of the people in Jerusalem at Pentecost, and called them to repent and be baptized. They had received the Holy Spirit, the forgiveness of sins, and learning that this gift was/is for all people, young and old, far and near, whomever the Lord would call to himself. That is the gospel. Now they set about living the gospel life.
Peter's sermon brought the Word of God to bear on the hearts of those early Jesus followers. Those who received it were baptized – 3000 of them! – and discovered a deep fellowship with one another. They had experienced the grace of God deep in their hearts. They had been saved. Such was their fellowship. Any true fellowship of God's people today will be one based in the grace of God, the forgiveness of sins, and the eternal fortune of salvation. Such a fellowship sustains faith and is the seedbed of a life of missional grace.
The mission of God is his mission to which he invites us. He is adding to the number of believers daily, and we are privileged to participate in that grace. If we live together in love, fellowship, sharing each other's needs, and favor, we will discover the mystery of God's work among us. Jesus prayed that his followers would all be one, "so that the world would know" that the Father had sent him (cf. John 17:20-23). We see that happening here. God works through united people.
The saddest thing about life today in the Church (those who outwardly confess Jesus Christ as Lord throughout the world today) is the fractured unity that exists. If it was a matter of only denominational disunity that would be plenty bad enough. But the disunity shows up in congregations of the same denomination and even within local churches all too often (once in 2000 years is enough!). It's a wonder the Christian church even exists at all today! But this is testimony of God's work – adding to his church those who were/are being saved. What a privilege to live in the grace of God – the soil of his mission to which he also calls us!

The Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) on Friday gazetted the full list of the 47 Governors, their deputies and the 47 Senators who were elected following the August 8 General Election.
The Commission has also published the names and final results garnered by the 47 County Woman Representatives.
IEBC also published the names of Kimani Ichung'wah (Jubilee Party) who was elected unopposed as MP for Kikuyu Constituency and Othuthu George Abaja who was elected unopposed to be Seme West Ward Representative.
"In exercise of the powers conferred by Article 88 (4) of the Constitution, Section 4 of the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission Act, 2011, Regulation 53 of the Elections (General) Regulations, 2012, the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission makes a declaration of no contest and declares the persons listed in the 5th and 6th columns of the First Schedule and 7th and 8th columns of the Second Schedule duly elected for the electoral units listed in the First and Second Schedules," reads the gazette notice.
IEBC and the Jubilee Party have announced that they are ready to counter NASA's presidential petition challenging the declaration of Uhuru Kenyatta as President-elect.
A source within the pool of lawyers revealed to The Standard that NASA's case will be hinged on Raila Odinga's claims of hacking of the IEBC servers and inconsistent results.
He said that Odinga and his team have been exaggerating the poll figures to favour them.
"If you look at the first demand they sent to the commission, they claimed that the results had been cooked. For example, in Nyamira County, they indicated that Raila got 2,411,731 whereas the total number of registered voters is 278,853," he noted.
According to the IEBC, credibility of the results it announced will be critical to the case.
The source also said that the IEBC has proof that its system was not hacked and will authenticate results relayed and announced.
"If you look at it as a lay man, the majority law makers in the National Assembly are from Jubilee and the same is replicated in the Senate. Jubilee also infiltrated areas that were presumably the Opposition's strongholds. Thus, there is no way Raila can claim he won," he indicated.
He added that the IEBC complied with the law strictly and that NASA should respect the will of the people.

Why did you choose Loyola for law school in five words or less:
The inclusive and welcoming community
What do you like best about Loyola?:
The helpful faculty, administration, and classmates are my favorite things about Loyola. Everyone here wants me to succeed and do well, and that is not necessarily common at every law school. I also like the fact that the Corboy Law Center is only a few blocks from Michigan Avenue and the Loop. It makes taking a quick break to run out into the city much more enjoyable.
Favorite law professor and why:
My property teacher Professor Sag is very clear about the course topics, and I learned so much in his class. I had no idea about anything property law-related before going into law school, and his class was definitely one I learned the most from. He is also very entertaining and funny, which is always a plus.
Areas of interest:
Corporate Law, Alternative Dispute Resolution, and Real Estate Law
Extra-curricular activities:
Student Bar Association; Admissions Office, Student Ambassador; Alternative Dispute Resolution Society
One of my favorite experiences at Loyola was the day of service that was held at the beginning of fall semester. It provided students with an opportunity to meet and work with fellow classmates and get involved in the Chicago community. I am still friends with the students I worked with. The activity also demonstrates Loyola's commitment to public interest, and giving back to the community.

About Ganesha
Ganesha—also known as Ganesh or Ganapathi—is the elephant-headed Hindu deity who is the remover of obstacles and the giver of success for new pursuits or auspicious beginnings. Elephants are the animals that pave the way in the forests, removing any potential obstacles and making a clear path for all other animals to pursue. The son of Shiva and Parvati, Ganesha represents the energy that is grounded and centered with sharp intelligence and wisdom.
Ganehsa is seen in form holding and surrounded by objects of his power:
Prominent ears symbolize high listening quality; his discernible head imparts wisdom. A notable stomach signifies the ability to digest all, good or bad. His trunk curves towards good fortune and adaptability. Ganesha holds an axe to cut attachments that no longer serve well; his mouth and eyes signify talking less and concentrating more. Surrounded by a mouse and a snake, Ganesha reminds us to move quickly from desire and to protect our fortune.
Mantra: Om Gam Ganapathi Namo Namaha (Bowing to Lord Ganesha for wisdom and transformation). Repeat this mantra 108 times; this signifies the number of beads on a mala.

Dr. Bob's 2nd Talk in Detroit
In 1942 the members of Alcoholics Anonymous in Detroit decided to hold a celebration to mark a milestone of recovery in Detroit. It was to be held in the skid row area of Detroit where AA was born and nurtured in our area. They selected the Webster Hall Hotel.
The Webster was a world renowned hotel for the fact it had the world's first indoor swimming pool. It was located on the corner of Putnam Street and Cass Avenue. Eventually it was bought by Wayne State University and turned into Mackenzie Hall, a dorm for students. It was not configured properly for a dormitory and it was demolished and a parking structure built in its place.
The event was held on April 12, 1942. This would be Dr. Bob's, co-founder of AA, 2nd major talk in Detroit, his first was held in the basement of the Bensons with 25 people in attendance.
There were approximately 400 people in attendance for the dinner and talk. It was estimated at the time that there were 37000 members worldwide, 250 "solid" members in the Detroit area, with another 100 members on the "fence."
Not only were there attendees from Detroit, but from outlying Michigan, Akron, Cleveland, but Windsor as well. This early event would show the unity and support we would give to each other.

A successful online community is more than a buzzword, more than just technology, more than just a group of people "engaging," it is purpose-driven.
If the community is owned or sponsored by a business, then someone is going to need to know what the purpose is.
What's the value to the business?
Fortunately, this is a question that researchers have been studying for years, and I've been collecting those studies and reports like a nerd.
This slide deck is an early Valentine's Day gift, a summary of some of the best recent data on the business value of online community.

Paola Longoria of Mexico has now won more gold medals in singles at the Pan American Championships than any other player, as she won her 5th gold in Cali, Colombia Saturday. She's also won gold twice in doubles with Samantha Salas, and her overall total of seven gold is second all time for a player at Pan Ams behind only Jackie Paraiso with ten (1 singles & 9 doubles).
American Sharon Jackson won gold in her first appearance for the USA. She's the first American to win gold as a rookie since Ben Croft did so in 2009 at the Pan American Championships in men's doubles playing with Mitch Williams.
Jackson won gold in women's doubles with Rhonda Rajsich, and it was Rajsich's fourth career gold medal at the Pan American Championships, putting her fifth all time in the overall gold medal count for women behind Paraiso, Longoria, Michelle Gould (USA; 6, 4 in singles 2 in doubles) and Cheryl Gudinas (USA; 5, 4 in singles, 1 in doubles).
Jackson also medalled in singles, as she was one of the bronze medalists.
Like Jackson, Marco Rojas was an American rookie, and he earned silver medals in singles and doubles.
By our count, Jackson and Rojas are the 90th and 91st players to play for Team USA. Jansen Allen was playing for Team USA for the third time, and Rajsich's appearance was her 14th in the red, white and blue. Rajsich's first was back in 2002 at the Pan Am Championships, when she played singles and doubles, with Kim Russell.
The next international racquetball competition will be the 2013 World Games which will also be held in Cali, Colombia from July 25 to August 4. The racquetball competition is taking place July 26-28.
