He started out looking for love handing out.
-- final rose -- the bachelor but now he has a passion for politics and instead of a rose he's handing out promised.
To Mitt Romney as a delegate at the Republican National Convention this week yet bachelor turned California yeah.
Andrew Firestone joins us now from -- Francisco -- nice to see this morning.
Become -- delegate it seems like it's got to be a complicated process.
Well I've been involved just sort of on the peripheral in California politics for -- father was and office a variety of different positions but I've been involved more recently.
And to supply to be a delicate and and somehow they chose me so very that'd be part of the California delegation and you say that being a father.
Really puts you to the next level why so -- having kids.
Make you think more seriously about politics and what were your impressions -- the convention this past week.
Well yeah out of a father too young kids and a husband and four years ago I was just a husband so a lot of change of its last four years.
And certainly I think it's adjusted my my outlook and thinking about my kids' future.
-- things like the state of the you know education in this country and most importantly economy.
Those two things are the biggest factor in making me get more involved for my kids not just for myself.
And my impression of the current convention I went there to learn and I came back inspired about tell what's going on on the Republican ticket this year.
And -- you're enjoying all of our bachelor references so I have another foray out.
-- this speakers that you heard currency would you have given -- -- the first impression and I -- -- on the big bachelor dad myself.
Who wouldn't get the right doesn't rose.
Well I think obviously Romney and Ryan gave great speeches but I would say that -- Marco Rubio I think was very very inspiring.
And I think that he really spoke to what American.
Opportunities offered to to immigrants coming to this country and why people sacrificed to come to America -- opportunities as country provides.
And maybe the fact that that some of that American dream is slipping away a little bit as as the federal government grows.
Maybe some of those opportunities are limited and I think that that Marco Rubio spoke to his experience.
And that sacrifices that that his Stanley made today to give him a better life and and that you know that Condoleezza Rice was amazing Susanna Martinez.
All of -- -- was great speakers and very very inspiring.
Obviously come from a long line of business leaders great grandson of Firestone tires -- the creator and founder -- so it you have a long history of being in the business world and when you look at President Obama is resonate vs Mitt Romney's resume as it relates to business what stands out to you.
What he did the leaders can lead in different situations better than others and I think that four years ago of President Obama a great case for why.
-- should be the president you know we've seen now four years later that those things haven't come to fruition.
But now we have a choice to make and you look at at Mitt Romney in his resonate not only in politics but in his private business.
And it it is he's a turnaround guy.
And I don't think anybody in this country would you Republican or Democrat or libertarian can say that this country's on the right track right now and needs someone to put it back on the right track.
And I just I can't imagine a better candidate than Mitt Romney for what he did in Massachusetts.
Turning around a budget deficit to surplus.
To the Olympics taking a a distinct a -- terrible situation.
That I was in crisis and pulled it out to one of the most successful Olympics ever and now we have the opportunity to put this same guy.
In charge of turning America around -- I don't care what party your part of we need Mitt Romney to turn this country around.
Part of being a successful bachelor's tailoring your message to many different women could you got a Big Three for 1025 at the same -- at her office -- Mitt Romney had a good tailor his message.
To that audience there or did it work for you did he inspire you there some say it was just two average.
Now that's not that's not average at all I mean we all know his business acumen we -- know his political -- history and what he's done and in Massachusetts.
So what I wanna be here with -- -- bit Mitt Romney the man is the kind of guy that I can trust and believe in and what.
In Romney spoke to what his kids spoke to and what Mitt Romney spoke to was his history.
In philanthropy that he doesn't get a lot of credit for because he -- -- -- credit for all the stuff that he does behind the behind the curtain.
You know in his in his private life and this was -- this is a real guy that I trust because.
That that that speech he gave humanize him.
I saw that you know I like it a president that wants to -- fifteen cents on an envelope.
I like that I won a -- and president I've got this country in a time when the economy.
Is in dire straits I ever really politics not -- not say Andrew any plans to run for office.
Listen right now I've got to three year old and a one year old and and in being a husband a father is is about all I can handle right now.
I just really hope that this November that route regardless of party Republican Democrat you look what is the best opportunity for my kids.
To to have the future that that I want for them it is it is you know an ever growing government or is it the opportunity that America provides has provided for many other you know families.
Where you live in a state -- knows all about shrinking government right.
-- don't know right I don't know I mean California ball.
-- a minute -- -- -- stamps aren't saying thank era by federal and thank you so nice to see and hear.
In my favor that it Bradley you know an avid watcher of the show I know I think it's a -- a little bit since since he left there needs some stronger bachelor's -- you go back for a second tour of duty and now he's now married.
Enough is beautiful -- and perhaps a good call you as a consultant for the show that I could be.

Test Flight by William Brennan
Rated: 3rd-5th Years [Reviews - 9]
Summary: The year is 2017. Despite budget problems, NASA and ESA have spent billions on the design and construction of a new spacecraft, entirely in secret. Why? It employs a form of propulsion that could make all others completely obsolete, a form of propulsion as secret as the project itself: Apparition. Hermione Weasley and Cho Chang have been chosen for the test flight, and the first artificially enhanced Apparition is about to be attempted.

Cheetahs are the fastest living animals on land, capable of reaching speeds of up to 120km/h when chasing their prey. Running is essential to their overall health and wellbeing, particularly whilst they are in captivity. Running them ensures that their natural hunting instincts are not lost and it also has important benefits for their breeding function.
If you are taking a recommended overnight package, the last stop on your early-evening game drive will be the cheetah enclosure. Here you will see them put through their paces by means of a pulley system, customised to accommodate the incredible running speed of the cheetah. You will enjoy refreshments and snacks while the rangers introduce you to the work of the Western Cape Cheetah Conservation rehabilitation centre.
The purpose of the early-evening runs and the breeding programme is to, ultimately, release the cheetah into the main reserve so that guests will be able to view these magnificent creatures in their natural environment, hunting and breeding as nature intended them to.
There is the option for guests to interact personally with one or more of our tame cheetahs and should this not be included in your package, the lodge staff will happily arrange it for you. As the cheetahs are sensitive creatures every care must be taken to minimise their stress. However, should the weather permit, every effort will be made to provide guests with the opportunity to spend intimate time with the cheetahs.
We are always on the lookout for volunteers to assist with the cheetahs' daily care and exercises. If you have a passion for wildlife and conservation, especially cheetahs, contact us now in order to become part of our volunteer program. You will assist in taking them through their daily paces, including the runs. There is much to learn and you will be duly enriched by this experience, while doing your part to conserve this precious cat. Apply Here!
Amongst the wonders of Nature exists a splendid place situated in the magnificence of the vast open Karoo landscape, Inverdoorn Game Reserve & Iziba Safari Lodge. The 10 000 hectare property is a resourceful and stylish 'oasis' destination, only a 2.5-hour drive from Cape Town city centre.
Inverdoorn offers guests the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to really get to grips with a cheetah through its Exclusive Encounters package that allow guests to spend time interacting with the cheetahs through stroking, petting and giving the cheetahs water. Guests who opt for the five-star luxury accommodation packages automatically enjoy the one-on-one encounters while an optional extra package is available to other overnight guests and even day visitors.

Late dawn. Early sunset. Short day. Long night. For us in the Northern Hemisphere, the December solstice marks the longest night and shortest day of the year. Meanwhile, the Southern Hemisphere is having its longest day and shortest night.
No matter where you live on Earth's globe, it's your signal to celebrate. For us on the northern part of Earth, the shortest day is here! After the winter solstice, the days get longer, and the nights shorter. It's a seasonal shift that nearly everyone notices.
When is the solstice where I live?
The solstice happens at the same instant for all of us, everywhere on Earth. In 2012, the December solstice takes place on Friday, December 21 at 5:12 a.m. CST (11:12 UTC). To find the time in your location, you have to translate to your time zone. Check out the following EarthSky article. Just remember: you're translating from 11:12 Universal Time on December 21.
How do I translate Universal Time into my clock time?
Will our solar system cross the galactic plane on December 21, 2012?
What is a solstice?
The earliest people on Earth knew that the sun's path across the sky, the length of daylight, and the location of the sunrise and sunset all shifted in a regular way throughout the year. They built monuments such as Stonehenge in England – or, for example, at Machu Picchu in Peru – to follow the sun's yearly progress.
But we today see the solstice differently. We can picture it from the vantage point of space. Today, we know that the solstice is an astronomical event, caused by Earth's tilt on its axis, and its motion in orbit around the sun.
Because Earth doesn't orbit upright, but is instead tilted on its axis by 23-and-a-half degrees, Earth's Northern and Southern Hemispheres trade places in receiving the sun's light and warmth most directly. The tilt of the Earth – not our distance from the sun – is what causes winter and summer. At the December solstice, the Northern Hemisphere is leaning most away from the sun for the year.
At the December solstice, Earth is positioned in its orbit so that the sun stays below the north pole horizon. As seen from 23-and-a-half degrees south of the equator, at the imaginary line encircling the globe known as the Tropic of Capricorn, the sun shines directly overhead at noon. This is as far south as the sun ever gets. All locations south of the equator have day lengths greater than 12 hours at the December solstice. Meanwhile, all locations north of the equator have day lengths less than 12 hours.
Will the planets align on December 21, 2012?
Where should I look to see signs of the solstice in nature?
For all of Earth's creatures, nothing is so fundamental as the length of daylight. After all, the sun is the ultimate source of all light and warmth on Earth.
If you live in the northern hemisphere, you can notice the late dawns and early sunsets, and the low arc of the sun across the sky each day. You might notice how low the sun appears in the sky at local noon. And be sure to look at your noontime shadow. Around the time of the December solstice, it's your longest noontime shadow of the year.
In the Southern Hemisphere, it's opposite. Dawn comes early, and dusk comes late. The sun is high. It's your shortest noontime shadow of the year.
Why doesn't the earliest sunset come on the shortest day?
The December solstice marks the shortest day of the year in the northern hemisphere and longest day in the southern hemisphere. But the earliest sunset – or earliest sunrise if you're south of the equator – happens before the solstice. Many people notice this, and ask about it.
The key to understanding the earliest sunset is not to focus on the time of sunset or sunrise. The key is to focus on what is called true solar noon – the time of day that the sun reaches its highest point, in its journey across your sky.
In early December, true solar noon comes nearly 10 minutes earlier by the clock than it does at the solstice around December 21. With true noon coming later on the solstice, so will the sunrise and sunset times.
It's this discrepancy between clock time and sun time that causes the earliest sunset and the earliest sunrise to precede the December solstice.
The discrepancy occurs primarily because of the tilt of the Earth's axis. A secondary but another contributing factor to this discrepancy between clock noon and sun noon comes from the Earth's elliptical – oblong – orbit around the sun. The Earth's orbit is not a perfect circle, and when we're closest to the sun, our world moves fastest in orbit. Our closest point to the sun – or perihelion – comes in early January. So we are moving fastest in orbit around now, slightly faster than our average speed of 18 miles per second.
The precise date of the earliest sunset depends on your latitude. At mid northern latitudes, it comes in early December each year. At northern temperate latitudes farther north – such as in Canada and Alaska – the year's earliest sunset comes around mid-December. Close to the Arctic Circle, the earliest sunset and the December solstice occur on or near the same day.
By the way, the latest sunrise doesn't come on the solstice either. From mid-northern latitudes, the latest sunrise comes in early January.
The exact dates vary, but the sequence is always the same: earliest sunset in early December, shortest day on the solstice around December 21, latest sunrise in early January.
And so the cycle continues.
Bottom line: The 2012 December solstice takes place on Friday, December 21 at 11:12 Universal Time. That's 5:12 a.m. Central Standard Time. Happy solstice!
Happy 2012 December solstice, everyone

text: "Three extended improvisations by an unexpected quartet of musicians, crossing different generations and different playing styles. A shimmering, weightless music of unusual timbres, featuring Evan Parker as you've never heard him before and the welcome return of Max Eastley and his self-built 'arc' to a group-playing situation. Graham Halliwell deftly employs a combination of field recordings and live sampling, while Mark Wastell offers subtle support on tam-tam, Japanese bowls and Indian harmonium. The recordings in a church in north London document the first meeting of this quartet in September 2007, though they have continued to work as a group since. A beautiful and fascinating combination."-Another Timbre

Jump on the Social Networking Bandwagon - Charlene Blohm
You came to the SIIA Experts' Guide blog to learn from other industry professionals, and possibly to participate in the ongoing discussion. Similarly, you can learn from your target audiences by listening to the conversations occurring blogs and in other social media such as podcasts and online forums.
The "PR and Web 2.0" article I wrote for the Expert's Guide provides an overview of a recommended three-pronged approach to entering the world of social media:
1. Monitor online conversations to inform business decisions.
2. Share company news and product information through online communication channels. (For multimedia news releases examples, go to http://www.cblohm.com/news.)
3. Participate in social media to communicate with key audiences.
The first step is most critical. Before you leap to step three and launch a corporate blog, take the time to become more social media-savvy. You'll learn effective techniques to build corporate visibility while enhancing your company's reputation. Plus, you'll get a peek into the professional lives of educators.
You can glean valuable information from monitoring what is being said online about your organization, and about educators' concerns and interests. With more than 70 million active blogs, it's likely that your company (or your competition) has been mentioned. Increasingly, educators (and journalists) are relying on social media for content, news and recommendations. The insight you gain can help your company improve customer service, product development, marketing campaigns, and communications with target audiences.
Search Tools
Here are some of the most popular Internet search tools you can use to monitor online conversations:
• Technorati allows you to search millions of blogs and tagged social media (i.e., videos). Set up a "watchlist" to generate automatic searches for your keywords.
• Google and Yahoo Alerts send you email notices when there are new search results for your search terms.
• For a comprehensive online video search, try Blinkx, which uses a sophisticated combination of software to find and qualify videos that match your search terms.
• Twitter Search provides the means to search the real-time information transmitted through Twitter, a popular micro-blog site. (Unfamiliar with Twitter? Click here for a tutorial.)
Several companies offer fee-based social media measurement services such as Cision, Webclipping.com and Andiamo Systems. Whether you do it yourself or use a service, tracking social media conversations is a worthwhile investment to get a detailed picture of brand awareness, brand perception and the competitive landscape.
Watch for company-relevant Wikipedia entries to learn about trends and education issues, and for company or product mentions. Be aware that Wikipedia is a carefully monitored site, and contributors must follow certain policies and guidelines.
A growing number of educators are venturing into virtual worlds, namely Second Life and Google's Lively, for educational purposes. Become a member to see what's happening in these exciting 3D arenas.
Monitor Important Information
News travels through the social media sphere in seconds, so executives need to track online conversations to know when their brand or a key issue is discussed. This is critical if the company needs to respond to a discussion quickly and appropriately. It can be as simple as posting a blog comment to correct a product price in a post, or as challenging as dealing with a customer service issue that's been cast in a negative light online. Social media monitoring also can reveal emerging trends and novel uses of company products or services.
Types of information to monitor include:
• Company name and URL
• Product names and URLs
• Executives names
• Volume of mentions
• Share of voice
• Subscribers/viewers
• Total and unique voices
• Name of blog/podcast/video and its creator, with demographic information if possible
• "Customer voice" to track sentiment, product use and more
• Competitors
• Education topics relevant to the company.
This posting was written by Charlene Blohm, president, and Kristen Plemon, Account Executive, of C. Blohm & Associates, Inc., a public relations consulting firm for the education industry. Charlene can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com, twitter.com/CharleneBlohm, or 608-839-9800.

Hi Charlene,
Great article, spot-on practical advice! Thanks for mentioning my company, Andiamo Systems Our clients find that once the volume of buzz around their products, competitors or topics reaches more than a couple hundred or so mentions per month, it's best to move from free tools like Technorati and Google Alerts to something more sophisticated. While these free tools are useful, they don't provide detailed analysis that we provide, including share of voice, sentiment and opinion analysis and more. This detailed analysis helps businesses separate the 'signal to noise' and focus on the most salient discussions and topics.

It's not that hard to add some winged wonder to your backyard...just add flowers!
Photo: RDA GID
A wonderful cut flower, asters make any garden explode with color at the end of the growing season. From miniature alpine plants to giants up to 6 feet tall, there are over 250 asters, with plenty of colors to choose from. Asters are a great way to brighten up the fall landscape in your backyard.
Also called gayfeather or liatris, this flower attracts butterflies and hummingbirds to its spikes of lavender, rose, or white flowers. American goldfinches, tufted titmice and other seed eaters savor its seed heads.
Photo: Bluestone Perennials
Though its exuberant profile can be fairly informal, this plant is a staple in many hummingbird gardens. The blooms also easily attract birds and butterflies with their arching branches of vibrant flower clusters.
While it may seem like hummingbirds flock to the blooms for the sweet fragrance, it's actually the plant's nectar that makes it so attractive to the birds.
Photo: Dutch Gardens
Increase your winged population and decrease your water bill with butterfly weed. This beauty's flat-topped clusters provide a nectar source for butterflies and hummingbirds, proving that despite its name, its anything but a pest.
With its demure veil of jeweled blooms, coreopsis adds charm to cottage gardens and formal flower beds alike. Dainty flowers, thin stems and fine foliage disguise the fact that this plant's as tough as nails. It's also great for cutting and readily attracts butterflies.
Photo: Park Seed, www.parkseed.com
Once used primarily as a houseplant, pentas have made their way from hothouses and windowsills into seed catalogs, nurseries and backyard landscapes.
The versatile plant - valued for its vibrantly hued blossoms and continuous bloom - is equally at home in flower borders, cutting gardens, hanging baskets, rock gardens, and patio containers.
Pentas are gotta-have-it inclusions in wildlife gardens - the plants' star-shaped flowers attract bevies of nectar-seeking hummingbirds.
Photo: Dutch Gardens, www.dutchgardens.com
This flower earned its name from how its stamens stick into the flowerhead, resembling that useful sewing tool, the pincushion. However, pincushion flower doesn't rest on its beautiful form, it functions quite usefully itself. Blooming long and often, it does double duty first attracting butterfly and hummingbirds and then complementing cut-flower arrangements. Here's one you should definitely "stick" in your garden.
Photo: Lucinda Moriarty
This easy-to-grow native flower is a cousin to the black-eyed Susan. The large showy blooms attract birds, butterflies and bees, and make long-lasting cut flowers. Coneflowers need little upkeep, are drought-tolerant and thrive in almost any soil with adequate drainage. This plant self-sows readily. To minimize "volunteers," apply a layer of mulch and remove any unwanted seedlings in spring.
Don't be fooled by its delicate beauty - yarrow's tough as nails. This extremely tolerant plant offers lacy flat-topped clusters of tiny flowers to attract hummingbirds and butterflies.
Want your summer gardens to kick off with a bang and end with a grand finale? Then plant red salvia, an annual that'll light up your yard like it's the Fourth of July.
There are few garden flowers as bold or reliable as these brilliant red spikes some gardeners call firecracker plant. They stand at attention in a large border garden and are just as striking when confined to containers. And they provide the perfect crimson color for a patriotic red, white and blue garden.

This was a thought that I had that could turn the demise of Hollywood Park into something that could be beneficial to California horse racing.
What do y'all think of using these last two meets as case studies for bets/promotions/ways to fill races/etc that could work for Santa Anita, Del Mar, etc?
AndyM's Pick 8 isn't a bad place to start. Experimenting with takeout, free admission, additional perks for people that bet on horse racing should be attempted before Hollywood Park closes. Because when it does, there will be people that say "Why didn't we do more?"
What do the horsemen who won't have Hollywood Park next year have to lose? May as well turn this negative into a possible positive for CA horse racing leaving a legacy of innovation that has persisted since its opening for Hollywood Park
To me, tis better to have tried and failed than to never have tried at all.

Thou Protest Too Much, Or Progesterone Much?
Republican Congressman Jack Kingston (R) GA. was interviewed via radio on a show called "America's Morning News", and had a very strong opinion of Governor Palin "butting in" endorsing candidates on each state. He claimed that what Sarah Palin is doing is in fact, dividing the GOP by picking candidates and that she should just stay out of it! Now, wait a minute. There have been state elections with endorsements from Newt Gingrich, Mike Huckabee and Mitt Romney.
What bothers Congressman Kingston, is that this Governor's primary is so close yesterday (50%-49%) and this morning Deal won the primary and Handel conceded. He endorsed Nathan Deal, because he's worked closely with Newt Gingrich and Mike Huckabee, and in his opinion is more conservative than the candidate that Governor Palin endorsed, Karen Handel.
Congressman Kingston believes that Sarah Palin picked Handel just because she's a woman and it hurts Sarah Palin more than the candidates themselves.
What is your take on it? In what way Governor Palin's endorsements are hurting the Republican Party, when there are three potential presidential candidates for 2012 doing the same? Sarah Palin has not endorsed all candidates based on gender, she does by what they stand for! The last thing Sarah Palin is, is a feminist.
Men in the GOP have to allow women in the party; too much testosterone is blinding these men, and when push comes to shove, there's little support for Governor Palin. The top branch of the GOP, which is 99.99% men, must be pressed on this issue. What is it about Sarah Palin that, after all that she's been through since she was nominated, they have not said much?

Parachuting or skydiving is an extreme sport where thrill-seeking jumpers fall or jump from an aircraft at high altitude either in tandem with an instructor or as a solo jumper. During the descent a parachute is deployed to slow the speed of the fall, and experienced jumpers can perform aerial manoeuvres to show off their proficiency, before landing as gently as possible on the ground. Parachuting took off as a sport after World War II, when there was a glut of surplus parachute equipment.
Safety of Parachuting
This extremely exhilarating adrenalin rush, which usually requires that jumpers exit the aircraft at between 12,000 to 14,000 feet, naturally comes with dangers. The sport, however is relatively safe. The United States Parachuting Association reports that of the more than three million jumps that took place in 2010, the fatalities only numbered 21, and the number of accidents is decreasing each year. British Parachute Association statistics show different rates of injury for males and females. This is due to body shape and weight distribution. The minimum weight for a jumper is six stone, while the maximum weight is usually 15 stone, although this does vary from centre to centre. It is not recommended that asthmatics participate in parachuting since jumps take place at altitudes where partial pressure of oxygen is significantly reduced.
To participate in parachuting, a jumper must be aged at least 16. Anyone under the age of 18 must have written parental or guardian permission prior to the jump. Whether a person is seeking the adrenalin rush of parachuting as a regular hobby, or wants to raise funds for a good cause by completing a one-off sponsored jump, it is important to prepare well for the jump by completing a course at one of the UK's 25 British Parachute Association-approved parachute clubs. These are located throughout the UK and range from professional full-time centres to weekend clubs run by expert volunteers.
Types of Jumps
A novice can make his first jump in one of three manners:
- A static line descent involves the jumper exiting the aircraft at around 3,500 feet and having the parachute deployed automatically by means of a static webbing line attached between the aircraft and the parachute pack. This type of jump requires just six hours of pre-jump training.
- Accelerated freefall (AFF) requires an intensive course, of one week, which will qualify the participant as a skydiver. The first descent will take place at an exit height of 12,000 feet, and will take place with two expert instructors, who will jump with the novice and guide him with radio-communicated instructions and hand signals. The jumper will fall for approximately 45 seconds before deploying his own parachute. During the week, the jumper will perform around ten jumps.
- The quickest and easiest way to experience parachuting is via a tandem jump, where the jumper is strapped to an instructor via a dual harness system. Preparation for a tandem jump takes just 15 minutes. The instructor and jumper will exit the aircraft at around 10,000 feet and the instructor will deploy the parachute at around 5,000 feet, allowing the jumper to relax and enjoy the experience.

If you subscribe you'll see a little more than what's shown above. From an article in May:
While South Korea is one of the world's most-wired countries with widespread high-speed Internet access, the country has taken a stance over nudity and porn. Two years ago, South Korea blocked hundreds of foreign adult content sites and strengthened its obscenity laws.
Warda said that there most likely will be some hurdles with delivering news naked, but it should be well-received in South Korea.
"Like Japan they cannot show the pubic area, [but] appetite for all forms of adult entertainment is substantial," he said. "These are hardworking, hard-playing people."
I still think my plan for "Naked English" (네이키드 잉글리쉬) is ingenious. Koreans love porn---they spend more on it per capita than any other country in the world---they love gawking at white women, they love slow and awkward delivery of English, they love the internet, and they love giving the impression they care about studying the language. Plus, Son Jong-min, recently of Seoul's English radio station, is out of work.

Prediction: Obama will award himself the Cong. Until that is done the military will have to wait.
This is maddening, can´t common sense reign?
My only familiarity with this case is from reading the article but it is strange that the Navy Cross was awarded since it is second only to the MOH and also requires a conscious act of heroism. From all accounts, his last conscious act was to shield his mates from a grenade blast. That he may have been deceased at the moment of detonation appears immaterial.
I´m reminded of a magnificent video tribute on You Tube for our military heros who die in this war against islamoterrorism called, ´´Angel Flight´´ (Radio Mix...).
I know there will be justice in the next life for both SGT Peralta and for Gates, but I sure would like to see some in this life.Please, Lord?

Monday, December 9, 2013 At about 6:15 p.m. Hoboken firefighters withdrew the last hose pumping water on a stubborn three-alarm fire in a five story building which left one firefighter injured and displaced all residents of the 10-unit building today. Firefighters responding to 327 Adams Street on a 1:40 p.m. alarm found fire in the walls and ceilings of the fourth and fifth floors, triggering two more alarms and bringing firefighters from Bayonne, Jersey City and Kearny to assist fighting the flames or man emptied Hoboken fire houses, Fire Chief Richard Blohm said. By the time the fire was under control about 90 minutes later, the top two floors had suffered moderate to heavy fire, smoke and water damage, Blohm said. The building will remain empty until an engineer determines if it structurally sound, and even if so, it will require extensive repairs before being habitable, Blohm said.

Monday, December 9, 2013 Firefighters battled a three-alarm fire that began Monday afternoon in an apartment on the 15th floor of the Parker Imperial residential building on Boulevard East, authorities said.

Monday, December 9, 2013 Franklin County Circuit Judge William Alexander ordered during a court hearing Friday that two new trials be held tied to an emotional lawsuit involving the circumstances that led to the deaths of two volunteer firefighters in Rocky Mount more than three years ago.Trial dates have not been set.Alexander said Friday that he had erred during a three-day jury trial that ended Sept. 25 because he failed to allow specific testimony offered by an expert witness for the plaintiff, Christie Altice-Weaver, the daughter of one of the firefighters killed that day, and related portions from a training manual for operators of emergency vehicles.Tony Russell and Kathleen Wright, attorneys for Altice-Weaver, had asserted in court filings that the jury should have been allowed to consider that evidence and had asked for a new trial to determine whether Posey Dillon, the firefighter driving the fire truck, was negligent the day the collision occurred.

Sunday, December 8, 2013 In an article today by NY Times writer Michael Schmidt, the headline reads: "In Mass Attacks, New Advice Lets Medics Rush In" Well.....Not Exactly. His article (link below) states that instead of following long-established protocols that call for firefighters / EMS to take cover and stage until a threat is over, Federal officials and medical experts who have studied the Boston Marathon bombing and mass shootings like the one in Newtown, Conn., have concluded that MANAGED aggressive emergency medical response could be critical in saving lives. That DOES NOT change the fact the fire and EMS personnel must still size up prior to taking action. The new guidelines also address the issue of all involved personnel being equipped with proper PPE: body armor. And bei... [ more ]
Sunday, December 8, 2013 Three SFFD commanders who directed firefighting and rescue efforts after the crash of an Asiana Airlines jetliner at San Francisco International Airport in July had never taken a training course required of rank-and-file first responders at aircraft disasters. Unlike the firefighters they were supervising, two of the San Francisco Fire Department commanders were not required under Federal Aviation Administration rules to take the course because they were not stationed at the airport. The third, a captain who oversees firefighters at SFO, was scheduled to be trained but had been on the job for just one month. Although the federal rules don't require commanders to take any special aircraft-disaster training, fire departments around the country have typically chosen airport supervisors from among firefighters who have taken a basic, weeklong course, experts say. In several other countries, all fire commanders must undergo both basic and advanced training. The S.F. Fire De... [ more ]

DC Riders – Bike to Work Day
As Blake told you, the WDC team is kicking butt in the bike-to-work challenge. Today we had over 20 riders for National Bike to Work Day:
Front row, l-r: Jack Baker, Claire Whitehill, Pamela Sams, Jodi Williams, Julie Steele
Middle row, l-r: Daphne Kiplinger, Bokki Son, Jacalyn Chnowski, Vincent Ng
Back row, l-r: Pierre Lee, Chris Ryan, Bill Hellmuth, Bill Stinger, Walter Urbanek, Aaron Altman, Kyle Sullivan, Tim O'Connell, Sasha Strickland (Missing Morgan Williams).
It was enough that our bike racks were full….
So some people had to take advantage of the "executive parking."

Ever wonder when these festive houses became a Christmas essential? Gingerbread dates back to the 11th century when crusaders returning from the Middle East brought back ginger, which Catholic monks then used to bake gingerbread for religious occasions. Gingerbread houses were popularized in the early 1800s, at the time that the Brothers Grimm published the collection of German fairytales – Hansel and Grettle being one of them. The age-old tradition of baking and decorating these classic cottages is one that you'll be able to continue with Carla's recipe. Once baked and built, top with the works, and then display. Your own Hansel and Grettle won't be able to keep their hands off them.

Study: Alcohol causes disrupted sleep later in the night
Posted at: 01/23/2013 6:34 AM
Using alcohol to help you sleep may have the opposite effect.
A new study out of the London Sleep Center finds alcohol leads to a deeper sleep at first, but causes disrupted sleep later in the night. It is also associated with snoring and poor breathing, which can take a toll on your health and your partner's ability to sleep.
The researchers combined data from several studies to get this result.

Im near 400lbs and adding my wife and luggage I had to go more than stock. It is a very noticable difference in the ride. The adjustment knob is easy to access while rideing for fine tuneing it in where you want it. Review Details Was this review helpful to you? Yes No |

Made of stretch crepe, the ALICE by Temperley Long Obi Dress is simple yet striking. A contrast black band, lightly textured with vertical stitch lines, runs around the neck and straight down the centre of the dress that is split to the thigh. A contrast black belt fastens at the waist with a straight edged bow detail. This is great dress for those who want something eye catching yet simple with the added comfort of stretch.
