When The Flash Will Introduce The New Season 5 Villain Cicada
Mick Joest
The Flash is returning for another season on The CW, and while there's much ado about a new speedster on the horizon, the show is once again featuring a big bad of merely average speed. While Chris Klein's Cicada might not be the fastest villain alive, he'll arrive on the scene pretty quick to make his devious presence known to Team Flash. A recent episode synopsis has revealed Klein will make his debut as Cicada in Episode 2 to cross paths with Barry and the rest of the team for their first potential throwdown.
It won't take long for Cicada to reveal and establish himself as a threat to Team Flash, which is a slight change of pace from The Flash's recent seasons. Cicada is wasting no time in crossing paths with his to-be foe, as the episode synopsis for Episode 2, titled "Blocked," reveals that Barry and the rest of Team Flash (plus the newest recruit Nora) will come head-to-head with the villain as they search for a meta.
As Barry (Grant Gustin) helps his daughter, Nora (Jessica Parker Kennedy), become a better speedster, he and Team Flash also track down a meta stealing high-tech weapons, only to cross paths with a new foe named Cicada (Chris Klein), who is hunting the very same meta with nefarious intent.
Grant Gustin has already teased a bit of what to expect from The Flash's version of Cicada, who is notably different from the comic adaptation. Gustin explained that Cicada's abilities include being able to dampen the abilities of other metas, which will undoubtedly put Barry and the rest of Team Flash off balance in their first and future encounters with him. We're guessing the villain is going to try and kill that meta that the good guys are hunting, and without his speed, Barry may be forced to try and stop the hulking Cicada in other ways.
The Flash may be hitting on an interesting twist to the "Barry losing his speed" concept this time around. Chris Klein's Cicada being introduced so early in the season could give the show ample opportunities to show Team Flash trying to thwart the villain without the use of super-speed or other meta-powers, which could drastically switch up the dynamic of the series once again. It's obviously not known if Cicada will have all of his powers developed and intact when the season starts, but he'll likely cause some kind of trouble early on, and it'll be cool to see how the non-powered characters fare.
We're guessing Barry will likely develop ways to outwit and out strategize Cicada on the battlefield, although we wouldn't be opposed to him entering a dojo and spending a whole season working on some dope kung-fu moves instead! That probably won't happen, considering the show has to work out Caitlin's loss of Killer Frost and Nora's timeline goof and the new Wells and Ralph's new job and Cecile's new kid, which leaves little time for mega-budget fight-training sequences.
The Flash returns to The CW for Season 5 Tuesday, October 9 at 8:00 p.m. ET. Many other shows will be premiering on television around that time so be sure to visit and bookmark our fall premiere guide to see what all is on the way.

It was quite a successful summer!
It was a pleasure to show my teacup paintings and Canadian flowers at Neverland Tea Salon - they fit right in with the whimsical decor. My thanks to co-managers Renee and Terri for hosting me.
The group opening exhibition at the Roundhouse was exceptionally well done - the venue and the curating were professional and first class. The variety of artists' media and styles flowed together to create an energetic and impressive show. Thanks to our sponsors for making this event possible!
The open studio in our home on the last weekend went way beyond my expectations - there were so many visitors it was almost overwhelming. I was so excited! Everyone was kind and encouraging, so my thanks to everyone who came to see me, and to my husband for all his support.
Through the above 3 events, 11 of my paintings and many cards went home with new owners. This was my 3rd year with AIOM, and it was a real thrill.
I was honoured that Enda invited me to join this very talented and welcoming group for a Sunday at Heritage Hall. It was rather humbling to show my work with theirs, especially after most of my best paintings sold in May. I had just finished a nice Canna Lily painting before the event, and was happy it went home with a very nice lady.

Q: Webkit rendering quirks for element with "position:fixed" and "-webkit-backface-visibility: hidden;"? Recently I encountered a rendering issue in Webkit which I suspect to be a bug with the Webkit engine. But I am not confident enough to say so. So I would like ask here and see what you think.
It'd be a bit difficult for me to describe the case in plain text, so I prepared a snippet here:
http://jsfiddle.net/2eQXa/1/
First you can see a yellow background with red border. This is not a background of the <body> tag but a <div> with id "backdrop" which has 100% width and height. By default it links to the "backdrop-no-problem" class. Also there is a horizontal list with some images. The list is surrounded by a green border. Inside the list there are some Wikipedia logos wrapped with a dotted red border.
I tested the page with the following 3 devices:
1. Chrome 21 on Windows 7
2. Mobile safari on the first generation iPad (running iOS4, I'll call it iPad1)
3. Mobile safari on the "new" iPad (running iOS5, I'll call it iPad3)
Try clicking "right" or "left" to scroll the list. Pretty good.
To reproduce the my problem, first click on "Issue #1". This will change the backdrop div from "position:absolute" to "position:fixed". Then click "Issue #2". This will add "-webkit-backface-visibility: hidden;" to the element (The reason for adding this style is to ensure smooth animation on the iPad).
Now click "left/right" to scroll the list. You should see a strange behavior in all three browsers:
The green div is scrolling properly and smoothly, but not its child elements. The child elements simply "out-sync" with the position of the scrolling parent. The movement not only looks laggy, it sometimes even stuck. And the child elements will stop at a wrong position when the scrolling animation finishes. You have to move your mouse over the picture (or tap on it in a tablet) to trigger an update to have the element re-drawn at the right place. Even Chrome shows this weirdness makes me feel that it is a Webkit issue.
Things gone worse in iPad3. In iPad3 you don't need to add "-webkit-backface-visibility: hidden;" (Issue #2) to see this weird behavior. Just add "position:fixed" (Issue #1) will do. The strange thing is that this doesn't happen when you view the snippet in jsFiddle. In case you are interested I have put the source in a single file at pastebin:
http://pastebin.com/i4ARX4mD
When writing this question I saw quite a number of questions regarding backface visibility. I've checked some but none of them matches my problem.
Ideas or suggestions are welcome. Thanks!
(Post updated to fix many typos)

The Ordeal of USS Hugh W. Hadley
As US Army and Marine forces reduced the island of Okinawa in the spring of 1945, the Japanese unleashed a desperate storm of suicide attacks, the infamous kamikaze, on the massed armada of supporting allied warships offshore. It did not take the Japanese long to understand the significance of the line of destroyers that ringed the island, their air search radars detecting and warning of the approach of Japanese aircraft from Formosa, Kyushu, and other locations to attack the US 5th (later 3rd) Fleet.
Soon, duty on the Radar Pickets became among the most deadly and dangerous of the entire war. "Roger Peter" stations were subject to withering attacks, as the Japanese sought to blind the Americans and strike the carriers and transports that supported operations ashore. A grimly high number of US ships were sunk, with heavy loss of life, in order to maintain the ring of warning radars that shielded the invasion fleet. Drexler, Bush, Emmons, Little, Morrison, Luce, Pringle, all were sacrificed to alert the fleet of the impending kamikaze strikes. And Mannert L. Abele, smashed by two massive precision-guided missiles that portended a coming age. Many other ships were savagely mauled, Aaron Ward, Hazelwood, the famous Laffey, Cassin Young. Damaged so severely that their survival astonished those who witnessed their suffering.
On the morning of the 11th of May, 1945, USS Hugh W. Hadley DD-774, took up station at Roger Peter Station 15. When the fateful hours had passed, Hugh W. Hadley had been struck by three suicide aircraft, and had lost 28 killed and 67 wounded. Though her guns had downed more than twenty enemy aircraft, damage to Hadley was severe and extensive. One of those aircraft which struck the destroyer was a piloted rocket bomb, the infamous Okha ("Cherry Blossom") that had spelled doom for Abele. (And referred to in the below report as "Baka".) With a warhead three times that of modern ASCMs and a dive speed of Mach .85, an Okha presented an incredibly formidable challenge.
From here, I will let the Captain of that magnificent ship tell the story. The following is Commander Mullaney's Battle Report in full:
DD774/A16/a1
Serial O66
U.S.S. HUGH W. HADLEY (DD774)
c/o Fleet Post Office
From: The Commanding Officer, U.S.S. HUGH W. HADLEY (DD774)
To: The Commander in Chief, U. S. Fleet.
Via: (1) Commander, Task Group 51.5
(2) Commander, Task Force 51
(3) Commander, Fifth Fleet
(4) Commander in Chief, Pacific Fleet.
Subject: ACTION REPORT – Action against enemy aircraft attacking
this ship, while on Radar Picket Station
Number Fifteen, off Okinawa, Nansei
Shoto, 11 May 1945.
Enclosure: (A) Executive Officer's Report.
(B) Fighter Director's Report.
(C) Battle Damage Report.
Because of the large number of planes involved, in this extended engagement, the Commanding Officer appointed a Board of Officers to receive statements from key witnesses, verify all reports, prevent duplications and establish the facts of the action in order to assist the Commanding Officer in making an accurate report. On this basis the below report has been submitted.
1. The U.S.S. HUGH W. HADLEY (DD774) was assigned duty as RADAR PICKET SHIP AND FIGHTER DIRECTOR SHIP on Station #15 of Okinawa, Nansei Shoto, 10 May 1945. Ships in company were the U.S.S. EVANS (DD552), LCS 82, LCS(L) 83, LCS(L) 84, and LSM(R) 193 as support ships. The Evans turned over duties as Tactical Command to the Hadley.
2. The MISSION of this group of ships was to detect and report approaching enemy aircraft, to control the assigned Combat Air Patrol, and to prevent enemy planes from reaching the transport area at Okinawa.
3. On the night of 10 May, an enemy plane attacked our formation at 1935 and was taken under fire by both. The Evans reported seeing it destroyed. Throughout the night the ship was at General Quarters due to the threatening movements and a few attacks by enemy planes in the immediate vicinity of the formation.
4. On the morning of 11 May, at 0605, the Combat Air Patrol of twelve planes reported on station. At about 0740, bogies were reported to the north-east. At 0745, a large enemy float plane appeared through the mist and was taken under fire by both ships. Soon, this plane headed away from the Evans and came directly for the Hadley which was about one and a half miles from the Evans. This plane was shot down by the Hadley at the range of 1200 yards. .
5. At about 0755, numerous enemy planes were contacted by our instruments as coming towards the ship (and Okinawa) from the north, distance about 55 miles. One division of CAP was ordered out to intercept. Shortly thereafter, several enemy formations were detected, and the entire CAP was ordered out to intercept. Our Fighter Director Officer in CIC has estimated that the total number of enemy planes were 156 coming in at different heights in groups as follows: Raid ONE 36, Raid TWO 50, Raid THREE 2O, Raid FOUR 20 to 30, Raid FIVE 20, Total 156 planes.
6. At about 0755 the entire Combat Air Patrol was ordered out in different formations to intercept and engage the hordes of enemy planes closing us and shortly we received reports from them that they had destroyed twelve planes. Then they were so busy that they could not send us reports but we intercepted their communications to learn about forty to fifty planes were destroyed them. CIC reported that there were no friendly planes within ten miles of this ship.
7. From this time on the Hadley and the Evans were attacked continuously by numerous enemy aircraft coming at us in groups of four to six planes on each ship. During the early period, enemy aircraft were sighted trying to pass our formation headed for Okinawa. These were flying extremely low on both bows and seemingly ignoring us. The Hadley shot down four of these.
8. The tempo of the engagement and the maneuver of the two destroyers at high speed was such as to cause the Hadley and the Evans to be separated by distances as much as two and three miles. This resulted in individual action by both ships. Three times the Hadley suggested to the Evans to close for mutual support and efforts were made to achieve his but each time the attacks prevented the ships from closing each other. The Hadley closed the four small ships several times during the engagement.
9. From 0830 to 0900 the Hadley was attacked by groups of planes coming in on both bows. Twelve enemy planes were shot down by the Hadley's guns during this period, at times firing all guns in various directions. The Evans which, at this time, was a distance of about three miles to the northward, was seen fighting off a number of planes by herself, several of which were seen to be destroyed. At 0900 the Evans was hit and put out of action. At one time toward the close of the battle friendly planes were closing in to assist us, the four support ships were prevented from shooting down two friendlies whom they they had taken under fire. One plane was seen to splash inside their formation due to their own gunfire. however, I am not able to give an accurate account of their action. They were very helpful in picking up my crew who were in the water, in coming alongside and removing wounded and in helping to pump.
10. From this time on, the Hadley received the bulk of the attacks and action became furious with all guns firing at planes on all sides of the ship. CIC reported that the SUGAR GEORGE radar scope was filled with enemy planes. The Commanding Officer saw that the situation was becoming too much for one ship to handle and he ordered the Combat Air Patrol to close the formation and assist us. With outstanding courage, our planes fearlessly closed the ships and attacked enemy planes. They achieved great results and when the Hadley was finally helpless in the water our crew was sparked with renewed courage by the sight of airmen driving off the remaining enemy aircraft.
11. For 20 minutes, the Hadley fought off the enemy single-handed being separated from the Evans, which was out of action, by three miles and the four small support ships by two miles. Finally, at 0920, ten enemy planes which had surrounded the Hadley, four on the starboard bow under fire by the main battery and machine guns, four on the port bow under fire by the forward machine guns, and two astern under fire by the aft machine guns, attacked the ship simultaneously. All ten planes were destroyed in a remarkable fight and each plane was definitely accounted for. As a result of this attack, the Hadley was: (1) Hit by a bomb aft (2) By a BAKA bomb seen to be released from a low flying BETTY (3) Was struck by a suicide plane aft (4) Hit by a suicide plane in rigging.
12. The ship was badly holed and immediately both engine rooms and one fireroom were flooded and the ship settled down and listed rapidly. All five-inch guns were out of action, a fire was raging aft of number two stack, ammunition was exploding, and the entire ship was engulfed in a thick black smoke which forced the crew to seek safety, some by jumping over the side, others by crowding forward and awaiting orders. The ship was helpless to defend herself and at this time the situation appeared hopeless. The Commanding Officer received reports from the Chief Engineer and the Damage Control Officer which indicated that the main spaces were flooded and that the ship was rapidly developing into a condition which would capsize her. The exploding ammunition and the raging fire appeared to be extremely dangerous. The engineers were securing the forward boilers to prevent them from blowing up. The order to "prepare to abandon Ship" was given and life rafts and floats were put over the side. A party of about fifty men and officers were being organized to make a last fight to save the ship and the remainder of the crew and the wounded were put over into the water.
13. From this point on, a truly amazing, courageous and efficient group of men and officers with utter disregard for their own personal safety approached the explosions and the fire with hoses and for fifteen minutes kept up this work. The torpedoes were jettisoned, weights removed from the starboard side and, finally the fire was extinguished and the list and flooding controlled and the ship was saved. Although the ship was still in an extremely dangerous condition, one fireroom bulkhead held and she was finally towed safely to the IE SHIMA anchorage.
14. The total number of enemy planes destroyed by the Hadley in this period, of one hour and thirty-five minute of continual firing was twenty-three. This number includes twenty shot down to the water and three suicide hits.
15. Our mission was accomplished. The transports at the Okinawa anchorage were saved from attack by one hundred and fifty sixty enemy planes by the action of our ships. We bore the brunt of the enemy action and absorbed what they threw at us. It was a proud day for Destroyer men.
The U.S.S. HUGH W. HADLEY (DD774) was OTC of a force consisting of two destroyers, three LCSs and one LSM. In order to achieve maneuverability and concentrated gunfire the following formation was ordered: the four support ships to a diamond formation on a circle one thousand yards in diameter, speed ten knots, reversing course every half hour; the destroyers in a column distance fifteen hundred yards, speed fifteen knots. When attacks commenced both destroyers increased speed to twenty seven knots and maneuvered in vicinity of supports to concentrate gunfire.
WEATHER: Wind and sea calm, visibility to the north and east unlimited, visibility to the west cloudy and mist haze. During the attack the force maneuvered to the east and south to get out of the misty haze in order to see the enemy planes more clearly. The haze to the west would not have prevented the enemy planes from seeing us.
Communications: Communications were satisfactory in all respects during the battle except that gunfire caused the jacks to pop out of the receiver panel in the radio central feeding radio to CIC.
ORDNANCE: A. The performance of ordnance material and equipment was excellent. The fire discipline was strict, gunnery communications rapid and effective. Ammunition expended:
509 rounds 5″ 38 Caliber VT
292 rounds 5″ 38 Caliber AA
8950 rounds 40MM HET
3980 rounds 20MM HEI
2010 rounds 20MM HEIT
801 charges smokeless power
B. The first bomb estimated to be a medium bomb, exploded with considerable flash killing a defense personnel topside aft.
2. The suicide plane hit aft number two stack and plunged to the deck below. There was a tremendous explosion from this crash which result in a raging fire with ammunition exploding. The topside compartments in this area were all completely wrecked.
3. BAKA BOMB this is the bomb which put the ship out of action. It was led in a raging fire with ammunition exploding. It was released from a large lumbering BETTY which came in from astern during the final attack, altitude about 600 feet. The bomb appeared to be about one and one half times as large as a 21″ torpedo. On each side were very short stubby wings about one third the usual wing length of a lane. There was no engine. The bomb struck the ship on the starboard side at frame number 105, which is the bulkhead between forward engine room and after fireroom. The explosion from this bomb terrific and some decks were lifted about twenty inches causing ankles and knees to be broken or strained. Three large engineering spaces were immediately flooded and the ship settled in the water rapidly. Another result of this explosion was to put all equipment including the 5″ guns out of action.
A. Damage to our own ship -see Battle Damage Report.
B. Battle damage to enemy units: Twenty-three enemy planes destroyed as follows:
Time ( approximate) Relative Bearing Distance Number
0745 090 1500 yards 1
0800 270 6000 yards closing 2
0835 270 Dive 1
0845 060 3-4000 yards closing 2
0905-0920 045 Dive 4
270 Dive 4
ENEMY TACTICS: The enemy planes employed no special tactics except during the final attack to surround the ship and dive simultaneously.
OWN TACTICS: The ship was maneuvered at twenty-seven knots constantly using the rudder to present the maximum guns to the enemy. One dive bomber at 0835 was missed by putting hard rudder over when the plane was 1000 yards above us coming in. The stern was swung away from his point of aim and he crashed twenty feet from the ship's stern.
PERSONNEL PERFORMANCE AND CASUALTIES:
1. Killed in action twenty-eight; wounded in action sixty-seven; missing in action none.
2. No Captain of a man of war ever had a crew who fought more valiantly against such overwhelming odds. Who can measure the degree of courage of men, who stand up to their guns in the face of diving planes that destroy them? Who can measure the loyalty of a crew who risked death to save the ship from sinking when all seemed lost? I desire to record that the history of our Navy was enhanced on 11 May 1945. I am proud to record that I know no record of a Destroyer's crew fighting for one hour and thirty five minutes against overwhelming enemy aircraft attacks and destroying twenty three planes. My crew accomplished their mission and displayed outstanding fighting abilities. I am recommending awards for the few men who displayed outstanding bravery above the deeds of their shipmates in separate correspondence. Destroyer men are good men and my officers and crew were good destroyer men..
3. It can be recorded that the aviators who comprised the Combat Air Patrol assigned to the Hadley gave battle to the enemy that rank with the highest traditions of our Navy's history. When the leader was asked to close and assist us, he replied, "I am out of ammunition but I am sticking with you". He then proceeded to fly his plane at enemy planes attacking in attempt to head them off. toward the end of the battle, I witnessed one Marine pilot attempting to ride off a suicide plane. This plane hit us but not vitally. I am willing to take my ship to the shores of Japan if I could have these Marines with me.
PART VIII
LESSONS LEARNED, CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS:
1. It must be impressed that constant daily drills in damage control using all personnel on the ship and especially those who are not in the regular damage control parties will prove of value when emergencies occur. The various emergency pumps which were on board were used effectively to put out fires. Damage control schools proved their great value and every member of the crew is now praising this training.
2. I was amazed at the performance of the 40 and 20 guns. Contrary to my expectation, those smaller guns shot down the bulk of the enemy planes. Daily the crews had dinned into their minds the following order "LEAD THAT PLANE". Signs were painted at the gun stations as follows "LEAD THAT PLANE". It worked, they led and the planes flew right through our projectiles.
3. The Commanding Officer recommends that the torpedoes be removed from ships which are assigned Amphibious and Radar Picket duties. He believes that what is left of the enemy fleet will be taken care of by other Task Forces, or the Air. Replace the heavy weights of torpedo mounts with larger CIC, more RADAR and 40mm gun mounts. In order to function properly, Radar Picket Ships must be loaded with special equipment. In other words, he believes that amphibious ships who are to be assigned to this duty should be specially equipped for this duty and not just generally equipped for regular destroyer duty.

There is much discussion these days regarding many things Navy. The nature of combat in the littorals. The necessary firepower to defeat a saturation attack. Networking a force. The level of training and proficiency of ships' crews, the size of those crews, the necessity to operate, fight, and perform damage control simultaneously. The imbuing of a spirit of courage and sacrifice, and a warrior ethos necessary to endure the furnace of combat. And the value of a tough, powerful, sturdy, versatile warship that can dish out and take the punishment, and bring her crew home.
The Captain's touching tribute to his Sailors should be learned verbatim by every Sailor in our Navy. And his praise of pilots of the CAP show that integrated operations were not invented after Goldwater-Nichols.
I am in awe of the Sailors and Officers of Hugh W. Hadley. Should there be any still with us today, they would tell you that they are not heroes. But I can think of no better definition of the word.

Starting our own Full Bore Friday here, are we?
There IS an awful lot to be (re)learned from that campaign as well as so many others.
Of course, I recommend interested readers to, at a minimum, study S.E. Morrison's "The Two Ocean War" and if possible, the full unabridged 15 volume version of his history of the Navy in World War II.
I'm still drafting a post that actually touches on some of the Okinawa campaign and how it resonated all the way through to the development of the current Aegis system.
ultimaratioregis says:
Are you starting "Norman Friedman Mondays"? 🙂
Grandpa Bluewater says:
Most excellent post. Most excellent ship. Bravo Zulu.
After posts on the 5″/38, the 3″/50, the NTDS and a bunch of other naval topics, Aegis seemed a natural progression.
Hmmm . I wonder why Cesar Chavez seemed more appropriate to Mabus than did Hadley? Great read . I am amazed at how much ammo they expended in 1.5 hours . Great report by the skipper . Detailed, yet full of class and professionalism .
scottthebadger says:
I concour, Grandpa! BRAVO ZULU to all concerned. I notice that REAL LCSes helped defend the DDs. No comment about the survival of the fake ones we are making now.
Gotta hand it to you, Brad. For a doggie, you write some excellent posts about squids! 😉
SRU2 says:
His daddy was a squid so he got some by default I guess. Love the last line. A hero by any other name is still a HERO.
Frank Van Haste says:
I was not called to serve, but did spend a decade building ships at EBDiv and became somewhat familiar with things Naval. One very clear conclusion is the NOBODY does Damage Control like the United States Navy. The stories go on without end, the historical results exceed those of all other navies, and the tale of the Hadley is inspiring but unsurprising.
Thanks for posting that.
It wasn't always thus. After losses of Carriers early in the war, the Navy set up DC and FF schools and used firefighters from CivLant and CivPac to set them up. Dan Gallery, in "Clear The Decks," tells of his experience of going through the one at Puget Sound as a 4-striper. He Said they just about baked him. MY last DC & FF class had a 3-striper in it, and they didn't give him an easy road either.
After the Navy got those schools going and put everyone through them, it was amazing what those ships would survive. The Franklin is the classic and I think the film about the Franklin is still shown at those schools.
Don't forget BUNKER HILL, QM!

Common Areas: Available For Personal Use?
When Can I Use the Common Area?
Common areas are just one of the advertised perks of living in a Homeowners Association (HOA) community. From community pools to exercise rooms to picnic spaces – common areas are a place for members of the community to relax and enjoy their time. These areas are often maintained and cared for on an ongoing basis by the HOA making it even more enjoyable to community members.
From time to time, there can be confusion regarding who is allowed to use certain areas, what is defined as a common area in the community, and who is responsible for them. Clarification can be found in the HOA by-laws.
Common areas are defined in the by-laws of the HOA as areas available for use by all homeowners in the community – including walkways, jogging paths, community gardens, swimming pools, playgrounds, and exercise rooms, for example.
Can Residents Use Common Areas for Personal Use?
With common areas, there are usually specific rules that all homeowners must agree to and follow when using. In addition to tidying up after oneself, residents are prohibited from claiming the area as their own or making changes to it without having permission from the board of directors.
In some scenarios, homeowners can submit a request to reserve common areas like pools, picnic areas, or a community building for special celebrations. These requests are typically handled by the management company and/or reviewed by the board. In most cases, notice or a reservation is then posted for all homeowners either on a community website or in a community area.
Are There Other Types of Common Areas?
While common areas are usually considered general common areas, there are also two additional types, limited and exclusive.
Limited common areas are available for use by multiple homeowners, but not all of them. These are most common in townhouse or condo communities because homes are grouped together in small areas. Limited common areas include shared hallways and stairwells. Another example is when a balcony is shared by two homeowners.
Exclusive common areas are utilized by just one homeowner and are usually located in a public area. These most often include window boxes, balconies, and immediate front or backyards.
How Do You Identify Common Areas?
Every HOA has a Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, Restrictions, and Easements or a CC&R. These documents typically include a map of the association that identifies the physical location of every common area.
Many HOAs look to AR Management for assistance with maintaining regulations and by-laws in addition to property management. Contact our office for additional details today!


PETER RABBIT is an animated adaptation of the Beatrix Potter story in which a rabbit tries to outwit a farmer and save his supply of food.
There is threat to the animals involving variety of makeshift weapons including garden implements and sticks of dynamite.
There is comic violence when Peter and the farmer fight each other, with lots of slapping and kicking and comical pratfalls. There are some scenes where electricity is used to comic effect but nobody is ever hurt.
In one scene, a character who is allergic to blackberries is pelted with the fruit and must use an epipen to counteract the effects.

Climate change comes in unexpected shapes and forms. Consider weeds. Those nasty little (or not so) things that trigger our allergies and resist our cleverest efforts to do them in. We love to hate 'em. But now I find out we're in for a big surprise, as weeds have begun acting "like ecology on amphetamines".
These words, from a New York Times Magazine piece by Tom Christopher, should snap any but the most clueless of us to attention. In Can Weeds Help Solve the Climate Crisis? Christopher takes us through a frightful look at what weeds are, what they've become, and what's in store for us as the planet warms and CO2 concentrations continue to rise. Obviously I like learning stuff, and this article is as accessible as it is entertaining in chronicling the extensive study of these nasty critters and sometimes friends.
That CO2 is one of the four essential resources for plant (and of course, weed) growth?
That weeds grown in CO2 enriched environments produce more pollen?
That plants like poison ivy grow much more vigorously at high levels of CO2--and they exhibit far more potency than they otherwise would?
Boy, can I relate to that, having recently tried to pull up the ever increasing amount of p.i. sprouting just yards from my home.
And, too, I'm especially sobered by the implications of the notion that "coexistence with mankind has given rise to the sort of tough plants that flourish despite the worst we can do." Among other things, Christopher and the researchers he profiles force us to ask if we can muster the adaptability to deal with our new world order that these impressively opportunistic plants have.
Of one thing I'm sure: I won't be able to look at a field of pretty, but invasively threatening purple loosestrife without my eConsciousness getting pinged. Thanks, Tom.

OK, I looked at moving towards corporate sustainability from the 30,000 foot level in my last post, but here I want to comment on those who are already taking on the thorny issues that lie below. And for this perspective, I'd like to thank ClimateBiz, a website steeped in the who and how to of this movement.
Take a recent column entitled The Difference Between Product and Supply Chain Footprinting, by Ryan Schuchard, a contributor from the non-profit business association, Business for Social Responsibility. Remember the challenge of simply defining carbon neutrality that I cited here? Well, in the ClimateBiz article, you're looking at two fundamentally different approaches to implementing it.
The first focuses on establishing the carbon footprint for a company's products. In itself, this can handled in several ways, according to Schuchard's overview: 1) the carbon embodied in the product and produced throughout its life cycle, 2) the carbon reduced through emissions reductions associated with the product's creation, and 3) the carbon mitigated by the company through purchases of offsets designed to assure product-based carbon neutrality.
While complicated in practice, this form of corporate carbon neutrality is being practiced--by companies like Timberland, with its Green Index product ratings--and is being studied, and piloted, and standardized in many areas.
The second approach involves establishing, and managing, the carbon footprint of a company's supply chain--the multiple tiers of sources for materials, supplies, and other inputs. Like the corporate social responsibility (CSR) commitments many companies extend to their business partners and suppliers, this approach strives for a kind of systemic carbon neutrality. It is, as Schuchard reveals, extremely challenging and complex...but it is attracting a great amount of attention.
Clearly I don't do this emerging field justice. But I hope you'll take from this the fact that, while being green is far from easy, it is becoming increasingly mainstream. Across business sectors, things are happening, and much more is to come. Invest a little time with resources like ClimateBiz and you see where you can jump in. The time's right. And you'll be in good company.

Say you're a business person who's read all about what the private sector can do to promote a sustainable future. You're intrigued, and you want to help your company understand and act. You know that it's about more than changing the lights, carpooling, and recycling paper waste. And you've come upon the big idea...let's be carbon neutral!
OK so far. But as you dig deeper, you realize that your good intentions could all go awry before you even get started. You've discovered that there are as many interpretations of just what being carbon neutral is as there are business cases to look at.
Thankfully, along comes the guidance of two organizations who've been doing a lot of thinking about just this issue. Clean Air -- Cool Planet and Forum for the Future, U.S. and U.K. based non-profits, respectively, have just published Getting to Zero: Defining Corporate Carbon Neutrality (download PDF here). They steer clear of the hype and offer most reasoned and realistic guidance. Theirs is a step-wise approach, more likely to resonate with your colleagues during the critical first phase of any carbon neutral initiative--defining it strategically, and with vision and clarity.
Though I can't promise you'll see fireworks, your eConsciousness will sparkle just a little more brightly, I'm sure. Good reading.

As I pinball my way through the sustainability game, I wrack up points and pointers but rarely hit the big bonus. This time, though, I think I did.
For all the focus on cars and gas and coal and electricity and on and on, we tend to lose sight of one thing that drives them all--consumption. I know I touched on it earlier in posts about our unsustainably wasteful industrial processes and the like. And I've waxed sentimental about how we disregard our planet's natural cycles and are slow to learn its lessons. But then, waxing is not nearly as interesting a way to make a point stick as is...entertaining...right?
That's where Annie Leonard comes in. She tells a story that needs to be told and does it with a creative flair that had me entranced. And agitated. And defenseless to resist the urge to blog about it. The 'it' is The Story of Stuff, her 20 minute expose/lesson on the material economy and all that it superbly hides from our view. But wait. How about hearing it in the words of her site itself...
"The Story of Stuff exposes the connections between a huge number of environmental and social issues, and calls us together to create a more sustainable and just world. It'll teach you something, it'll make you laugh, and it just may change the way you look at all the stuff in your life forever."
To this I would add that while many have You-Tubed effective and snappy sustainability messages, few have wrapped them in an enlightening and resource-full web site of its own. Kudos to Annie, her various partners, and the creative folks at Free Range Studios for bringing us their good stuff. My eConsciousness is most grateful, and yours will be too.

I'm convinced that 'The Truth' comes in all guises, shapes and forms. All suited to the frame, mindset, and expectations of the receiver of that truth. In fact, it's what makes my work so interesting, challenging, and fun. Sorting through the full spectrum of hard held beliefs--and the truths that help make them so--is a fascinating, though sometimes head-scratching endeavor.
Happily to say, along comes a deep and credible resource to help clear the air. DeSmogBlog, which has actually been around since '05, certainly makes my job easier with its focus on "clearing the PR pollution that clouds the science on climate change". Believe it or not, though, it's crafted by a group of communications professionals who are themselves PR practitioners. But of a decidedly enlightened sort. So, who better to provide us with a rich and revealing DeSmog "Denier Database", loads of informative links and resources, and current climate change stories and tips?
Right off, I want to thank the crew for alerting me to the issue of NewScientist (pictured right here) carrying it's useful Climate Change: Guide for the Perplexed--see it online here. I rank it up there with my previously favorited How to talk to a climate skeptic site.
As always, I encourage you to visit the site and see for yourself. After all, I don't know what's going to trigger your eConsciousness--but being able to cut through the hype a bit more easily will certainly help. Here's to the truth.

Reading the latest over at TerraBlog this morning I was intrigued by a reference to the new wikiHow site and thought I'd check out its sustainability credentials. So, off I went to title-surf this new collaborative writing project: "The How-To Manual That Anyone Can Write or Edit".
First off, I love the concept. Its wikipedia-like, quick look-up nature promises plenty of entertainment along with its helpful content. I especially liked the entry titled 'How to sneak out of our house at night'...brought back some long forgotten memories of childhood escapades. Believe me, you'll find plenty more like it.
Environmentally speaking, the pickings were relatively slim, but generally helpful and sure to grow in number fairly quickly. For instance, I found...
How to set up a home recycling system
How to compost successfully and safely
How to increase fuel mileage in a car
How to reduce your greenhous gas emissions
Not overbearing stuff, but easy to search and find. I think this will be a nice complement to the more hard core environmental and sustainability sites, and it's encouraging to see this kind of info getting into the mainstream.
Oh yes...if you can stand a bit more of my tongue-in-cheek humor, then check out 'How to stop being scared after watching scary movies'--especially after you take in Al Gore's An Inconvenient Truth. Have fun.

Beauty in the Beast...remarkable global warming photos
Nick Cobbing is a photojournalist and photographic artist living in the U.K. He works extensively in the Arctic region, and his startling photos have been viewed widely in books, magazines, and on the web. I'm extremely grateful to Nick for allowing me to feature his work in this piece--though I had to promise hime to steer your eyeballs to his web site (which, of course, I had every intention of doing regardless). Thanks, Nick.
Nick's photos, particularly his Ice series, have a very interesting effect on me. On the one hand, they hit me like a sledgehammer. On the other, they subtly engage my eConsciousness. I see beauty as well as very scary imagery. They are images that stick. That make me want to think quietly and scream aloud at the same time. "Stop"
Whether hanging out the door of a 'vintage' helicopter, or standing precariously in a small boat just feet away from a frozen behemoth, Nick has truly gone to great lengths to bring us these photos. Each has its own story, and they are, altogether, both inspiring and informative. Just below is his look at the village of Narwaq, in Western Greenland:
Here's the takeaway from all this for me. Though I can regale you with all the facts and figures and interplay going on to push the climate change agenda forward, nothing I say will likely stick in your mind as well as a picture. So visit Nick's site. Pick one for yourself. And think of it...often.

Of zingers and green piece. Or, how to understand everything you need to know about climate change in 15 minutes.
Every so often I come across something that makes me smack my forehead and say "Jeez, now I get it." And then of course, being the sort of self-critical type I am I invariably follow with "...now why couldn't I have come up with that?"
Well, today's blast comes from Tom Friedman's article in Sunday's New York Times Magazine, headlined The Power of Green. Frankly, I would have preferred he name it 'Of Zingers and green piece' or something like that, but he didn't, and so I had to. "Why?" you ask? Because this piece is so full of zingers--read: powerfully enlightening realities about climate change vs. the globe as we know it. And, it's about a kind of green that not too many of us have been able to articulate yet, or even envision.
I would love for you all to read this piece. In full. But in case that's inconvenient, I'll lift a few of the choicest parts for you. On second thought, do read it, because this article's true mastery lies in how well it's all connected. But go ahead, sample a bit...
"In the world of ideas, to name something is to own it. If you can name an issue, you can own the issue. One thing that always struck me about the term "green" was the degree to which, for so many years, it was defined by its opponents — by the people who wanted to disparage it. And they defined it as "liberal," "tree-hugging," "sissy," "girlie-man," "unpatriotic," "vaguely French."
Well, I want to rename "green." I want to rename it geostrategic, geoeconomic, capitalistic and patriotic. I want to do that because I think that living, working, designing, manufacturing and projecting America in a green way can be the basis of a new unifying political movement for the 21st century. A redefined, broader and more muscular green ideology is not meant to trump the traditional Republican and Democratic agendas but rather to bridge them when it comes to addressing the three major issues facing every American today: jobs, temperature and terrorism."
"The dirty little secret is that we're fooling ourselves. We in America talk like we're already "the greenest generation," as the business writer Dan Pink once called it. But here's the really inconvenient truth: We have not even begun to be serious about the costs, the effort and the scale of change that will be required to shift our country, and eventually the world, to a largely emissions-free energy infrastructure over the next 50 years."
"Sometime after 9/11 — an unprovoked mass murder perpetrated by 19 men, 15 of whom were Saudis — green went geostrategic, as Americans started to realize we were financing both sides in the war on terrorism. We were financing the U.S. military with our tax dollars; and we were financing a transformation of Islam, in favor of its most intolerant strand, with our gasoline purchases. How stupid is that?"
"No wonder more Americans have concluded that conserving oil to put less money in the hands of hostile forces is now a geostrategic imperative. President Bush's refusal to do anything meaningful after 9/11 to reduce our gasoline usage really amounts to a policy of "No Mullah Left Behind." James Woolsey, the former C.I.A. director, minces no words: "We are funding the rope for the hanging of ourselves.""
"People change when they have to — not when we tell them to — and falling oil prices make them have to. That is why if we are looking for a Plan B for Iraq — a way of pressing for political reform in the Middle East without going to war again — there is no better tool than bringing down the price of oil. When it comes to fostering democracy among petroauthoritarians, it doesn't matter whether you're a neocon or a radical lib. If you're not also a Geo-Green, you won't succeed."
""Think of the climate change issue as a closet, and behind the door are lurking all kinds of monsters — and there's a long list of them," Pacala said. "All of our scientific work says the most damaging monsters start to come out from behind that door when you hit the doubling of CO2 levels." As Bill Collins, who led the development of a model used worldwide for simulating climate change, put it to me: "We're running an uncontrolled experiment on the only home we have.""
"To convey the scale involved, Socolow and Pacala have created a pie chart with 15 different wedges. Some wedges represent carbon-free or carbon-diminishing power-generating technologies; other wedges represent efficiency programs that could conserve large amounts of energy and prevent CO2 emissions. They argue that the world needs to deploy any 7 of these 15 wedges, or sufficient amounts of all 15, to have enough conservation, and enough carbon-free energy, to increase the world economy and still avoid the doubling of CO2 in the atmosphere. Each wedge, when phased in over 50 years, would avoid the release of 25 billion tons of carbon, for a total of 175 billion tons of carbon avoided between now and 2056.
Here are seven wedges we could chose from: "Replace 1,400 large coal-fired plants with gas-fired plants; increase the fuel economy of two billion cars from 30 to 60 miles per gallon; add twice today's nuclear output to displace coal; drive two billion cars on ethanol, using one-sixth of the world's cropland; increase solar power 700-fold to displace coal; cut electricity use in homes, offices and stores by 25 percent; install carbon capture and sequestration capacity at 800 large coal-fired plants." And the other eight aren't any easier. They include halting all cutting and burning of forests, since deforestation causes about 20 percent of the world's annual CO2 emissions."
"According to Lester Brown, the founder of the Earth Policy Institute, if China keeps growing at 8 percent a year, by 2031 the per-capita income of 1.45 billion Chinese will be the same as America's in 2004. China currently has only one car for every 100 people, but Brown projects that as it reaches American income levels, if it copies American consumption, it will have three cars for every four people, or 1.1 billion vehicles. The total world fleet today is 800 million vehicles!"
"The only way to stimulate the scale of sustained investment in research and development of non-CO2 emitting power at the China price is if the developed countries, who can afford to do so, force their people to pay the full climate, economic and geopolitical costs of using gasoline and dirty coal. Those countries that have signed the Kyoto Protocol are starting to do that. But America is not."
"President Bush claims he's protecting American companies by not imposing tough mileage, conservation or clean power standards, but he's actually helping them lose the race for the next great global industry. Japan has some of the world's highest gasoline taxes and stringent energy efficiency standards for vehicles — and it has the world's most profitable and innovative car company, Toyota. That's no accident."
"Being serious starts with reframing the whole issue — helping Americans understand, as the Carnegie Fellow David Rothkopf puts it, "that we're not 'post-Cold War' anymore — we're pre-something totally new." I'd say we're in the "pre-climate war era." Unless we create a more carbon-free world, we will not preserve the free world. Intensifying climate change, energy wars and petroauthoritarianism will curtail our life choices and our children's opportunities every bit as much as Communism once did for half the planet."
...OK, I'm back. If only to say, "I'm sorry NY Times and Mr. Friedman for lifting so much of your stuff--but it's got to get out there. I hope you'll understand."
Thanks for reading this far, and by the way...don't forget about Earth Day this coming weekend. If I'm able, I'll put up a few pointers before it's here. But meanwhile, go find something you can do to make a little noise about it. Your eConsciousness will definitely be happy you did.

Sorting through the climate reports--and bringing it home
Sometimes it seems there's a new report every day. I don't know about you, but it's hard to keep up. Especially if you feel compelled to go beyond the headlines, check a few facts, and see what the opposition is coming up with to diss the findings.
There's one thing that helps me put it into perspective--and perspective is what keeps me from feeling it's all spiraling out of control. I try to make connections. Try to take it from the abstract to the specific. From the global to where I live. Here, give it a try and follow the thread...
Global assessment update from the IPCC-we really are in for it
Just last week, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change issued its summary assessment on climate change impacts--this following its February report on the physical evidence for human-caused climate change, and preceding its coming report on solutions. Evidence is clearly mounting that what we're seeing happening is real, is anthropogenic in nature, and will challenge us beyond our ability to adapt--especially in the more vulnerable areas of the globe. The IPCC points to "severe impacts" even under moderate warming scenarios.
Just a quick reading of the report, or this summary compiled by the Pew Center on Global Climate Change, has to get you wondering how to possibly deal with a problem of this magnitude. Eileen Claussen, President of the aforenamed organization put it on the line in a statement issued after the IPCC assessment:
"This week began with a landmark decision by the US Supreme Court and ended with the release of the IPCC's 4th Assessment on climate change impacts. Following the Supreme Court's decision, it's clear that EPA has the authority – and should -- regulate CO2, and the IPCC report delivered the strongest statement to date on the consequences of climate change. Taken together with increasing calls from CEOs, states, and the public, the message is loud and clear: Read our lips - We need mandatory climate policy in the United States."
So, what's the point of all this in my example? First of all, we really are in for it. And secondly, can we follow a thread from this global bucket of concerns to something we can relate to here at home?
U.S. PIRG--the National picture, and State action
For me, at least, there is an answer, and it's found in yet another report. This time, it focuses on the U.S. and comes to us in the form of this month's release of The Carbon Boom: State and National Trends in Carbon Dioxide Emissions Since 1990, by the U.S. PIRG Educational Fund. It zeros in on fossil fuel consumption data from the Department of Energy from 1990 to 2004, citing the still rising levels of carbon dioxide pollution nation wide, and the roles of the electric power and transportation sectors in this increase.
So where's the good news? It turns out that at a state level, we're seeing signs that the trend could somehow reverse. Governors of Arizona, California, New Mexico, Oregon, and Washington announced the Western Climate Action Initiative. Nine eastern states have adopted California's clean cars program, and eight have signed on to the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative to cap and reduce emissions. And C02 emissions for the period actually decreased in two northeast states, one being Massachusetts. Clearly there's a tremendous amount of work to do, but seeing any success is cause for a bit of optimism.
The New England Outlook
Now, let's follow the thread a bit further, and expose ourselves to another dose of reality: a report from the Northeast Climate Impacts Assessment and the Union of Concerned Scientists. This one brings it home for those of us living in an area already used to change--of the "If you don't like the weather, wait five minutes" variety--but certainly not the kind forecast here.
The study, titled Climate Change in the U.S. Northeast looks at two scenarios, one in which we take a path towards lower emissions and the other where we remain on our "highly fossil fuel-intensive economic growth" path. The thing that gets me is that the die is already cast, and "Under either emissions scenario, the Northeast of the future will be a tangibly different place." Too bad...I kind of like it the way it is.
But it sounds as if we do have some choice in the matter. Here, help me pick...
A. End of century temperature rises of 5 to 7.5 degrees F in winter and 3 to 7 degrees F in summer?
B. Or, winters warmer by 8 to 12 degrees F and summers by 6 to 14 degrees?
A. An average of only 30 days over 90 degrees F (vs. 10 to 15 days historically)?
B. Or, as many as 60 days over 90 degrees each summer?
I'll stop here, but you can continue playing the game by reading the report. Suffice it to say that I'm appreciative of the heads up, and pretty darned hopeful we will rally to do something about it.
Boston--the cities take charge
Like other city mayors who see the need to take matters into their own hands at a local level, Boston's Thomas Menino recognizes that global warming "calls our attention to the future of the world that our children will inherit...and if we don't take action now, we could face severe consequences." This is part of his motivation behind a just announced program to increase the efficiencies and reduce emissions in the city. Under his new plan, city vehicle fleets and government buildings would steeply reduce GHG emissions to 80% below 1990 levels by the year 2050. A dedicated task force will also address incentives to business and residents in the private sector to join in the effort.
Thankfully, leaders at the city level get it, and real change is taking shape.
Where does the thread go next?
The logical next step is that the thread extends towards you. Grab it and see what a difference it can make. If you develop the passion for change, you'll find yourself unable to walk the halls without finding something to pick up and direct towards the recycle bin. Or leave a room without flicking the light switch off.
You'll find yoursef thinking about how to minimize your driving. Consolidate errands. And get your business to think and act green. You'll join a community climate group. Or write your city, state, and national representatives. Maybe you'll even read a report!
No matter what you do do, just start. And know that when your eConsciousness connects with others the result can be very, very powerful.

Where do you stand on these 'fixes'?
Hello out there. It's 'question and no-good-answer' time.
If you were somehow under the impression that theunlikelyactivist could sort it all out for you, I'm sorry to disappoint. Actually, resisting the temptation to think that my sustainability quest endowed me with more answers than questions is especially easy this time around. This is, as my 4th grade daughter likes to say, "A toughie."
The question boils down to this. How do you feel about the use of technology--of the bio sort in this case--to help 'pro-adaptively' (I made that up) fight the effects of climate change? I don't pose this to rile up the anti-GMO crowd. Or, for that matter, the biotech enthusiasts among us. In fact, I think it's a question that transcends the heretofore traditional pro and con discussion. It's less about bio-manipulation for arguably indulgent purposes, and more about the use of our growing mastery to enable perhaps millions to survive increasingly deteriorating conditions.
If I'm sure of anything, it's that this post is by now most likely as clear as mud to you. Perhaps the following will help. Just take a minute to click below and listen to the two short audio pieces from NPR's Marketplace that brought this all to light for me.
The first, entitled Investing in a harsher climate sets up the premise nicely.
The second, entitled Global fixes for global warming raises yet another intriguing question: When does a technological 'fix' become an excuse for inaction in other areas of climate change management?
Maybe I'm just trying to take the easy way out today. But then, maybe getting your mind churning towards your own answers will leave you much better served. Happy listening.

The August 2018 Edition of the EUROSAFE FORUM Newsletter was prepared by Lithuanian Energy Institute. We are glad to share information with our valuable readers about some recent activities, conferences' events and achievements we and SSTC NRS have made in nuclear-related field.
On 23-24 of May, 2018, Prof. Dr. Tony Donné the Programme Manager (CEO) of EUROfusion – European consortium for thermonuclear fusion research – visited Lithuania, where meetings were held with representatives of the Ministry of Education and Science of the Republic of Lithuania, the Lithuanian Academy of Sciences, and the Lithuanian Energy Institute. Mr. Donné presented the European Union's Roadmap to the realisation of Fusion Energy and invited Lithuania's science community to take part in multitude of research opportunities available in effort to realise fusion-powered electricity by year 2050. The meetings were organized by Lithuanian Energy Institute (LEI) which represents Lithuania as a signatory research unit in the EUROfusion Consortium.
The main goal of CYSENI is to discuss issues and perspectives of energy sector worldwide; as well as to provide a free platform for young scientists to develop their skills. As usual, Ph. D. students, postdocs, master students and all other young scientists doing research on energy issues were present in this annual Conference as speakers and participants.
CRITIS 2018 continues the tradition of presenting innovative research and exploring new challenges in the fields of critical (information) infrastructures protection (C(I)IP), resilience, and of fostering the dialogue with all stakeholders. CRITIS 2018 aims at bringing together researchers, professionals from academia, critical (information) infrastructure operators, industry, defence sector, and governmental organisations working in the field of the security of critical (information) infrastructures.
On 19 July 2018, a remarkable event took place: for the first time in the history of the Ukrainian NPPs, a nuclear power unit core was fully loaded with Westinghouse fuel. This refers to the third power unit of the South Ukrainian NPP, which was selected as a pilot one to load American-Swedish fuel assemblies.
The International Ukrainian-Turkish Nuclear Summer School, organized with the support and participation of the State Scientific and Technical Center for Nuclear and Radiation Safety (SSTC NRS), Zaporizhzhya NPP, Odessa National Polytechnic University and the Ankara University (Turkey) was held in Odesa (Ukraine) in the period from 13 to 21 July 2018.

Delaware River ice jams bring flooding concerns for Trenton
TRENTON, N.J. - January 24, 2014
The ice in the Trenton area appears to be spreading from bank to bank.
"Oh, it's magnificent," said Jim Drabick. "It's just the ultimate nature. I mean there's nothing like it and it only happens so often and you have to appreciate it while it's here."
There's something about the frozen river that just draws people.
Photographer Jim Drabick of Feasterville spent the day snapping pictures of the Delaware River. He loves capturing images of the frozen river where some of the ice chunks are as big as tabletops.
"Not a soul around except for deer. All you hear is like little crashes of ice hitting into each other. It was beautiful," said Drabick.
Victoria Mercer of New Hope stopped by the Yardley boat ramp to take a picture. The river is still moving, but it is filled with ice.
"Normally in the summer time, people are out here jet skiing and tubing and being in the water. Obviously on a day like today, it's nice to stay on the shore and watch it. It's solid looking and it's fast, so it's a little scary but it's beautiful at the same time," said Victoria Mercer.
"This year, it is very light and pretty," said Barbara Lots. "I followed it all the way down from Titusville where I work and I thought I'd stop here at the boat ramp and take some pictures."
At the Yardley boat ramp on the Pennsylvania side of the Delaware, the ice-filled River is still moving, but just a couple miles down in Trenton the jam begins.
Parts of the River are frozen solid with big chunks of ice several inches thick.
When the ice jammed up near Trenton two weeks ago, it triggered street flooding along Route 29 near the State House.
Trenton's Fire Director, who also heads Emergency Management, says there's no indication flooding like that will be an issue again, but officials will be monitoring the River alert for one of two situations.
"The River is not moving because of the ice jams and it just pushes everything up. The other scenario is if in fact it breaks up or melts and it's done rapidly, we have a surge of water," explained Quareeb Bashir.
That could lead to flooding.
Chris Migliacci of the city's Island section says residents there are also watching the river from their front porches.
"We keep an eye on it and we don't panic until it's time to panic, because we've been evacuated and re-evacuated a couple of times and it's really been for nothing," said Migliacci.
"With the ice jams, it's just unpredictable. That's why we are just on a high state of alert because we just cannot predict where or what is going to happen," said Bashir.

Un germano-estadounidense (en inglés: German American) es, en Estados Unidos, un ciudadano de ascendencia alemana. Esta voz puede aplicarse a aquel estadounidense cuyos antecesores sean alemanes, o a alguien nacido en Alemania y emigrado a Estados Unidos. Los germano-estadounidenses son el grupo étnico más numeroso en Estados Unidos en 2006, e incluso lo han sido antes de su independencia. En algunos casos, se trata de hijos y nietos de alemanes, y en otros, de estadounidenses cuyos ancestros alemanes emigraron hacia América, incluso en tiempos muy anteriores, como en 1600 o 1700.

Orígenes

Importancia
Los germano-estadounidenses han influido en casi todos los sectores de la economía estadounidense, desde la ciencia a la arquitectura, industria, deportes y la industria del entretenimiento. Las celebraciones germano-americanas están en todo el país. La más famosa es el Steuben Parade en la ciudad de Nueva York, realizada el tercer sábado del mes de septiembre. También hay otras celebraciones en Chicago, Cincinnati, Milwaukee, y otras ciudades.

Los germano-estadounidenses son el grupo étnico más numeroso en Estados Unidos, contando más 50 millones de personas o 17% de la población total del país. California y Texas contienen las más numerosas poblaciones germano-estadounidenses, mientras que los estados del Medio Oeste, incluyendo Dakota del Norte y Wisconsin tienen los mayores porcentajes de personas de ascendencia alemana.

Numerosas publicaciones dan cuenta de la importancia de esta colectividad. El periódico de lengua alemana más tradicional es el New Yorker Staats-Zeitung.

Apellidos norteamericanizados
Muchos apellidos de origen alemán se han modificado en América, especialmente en Estados Unidos, de manera parcial o total. En otros casos, en cambio, se trata directamente de traducciones literales o adaptaciones a la pronunciación inglesa. Esta suerte de política de asimilación ha dado como resultado algunos apellidos que, pese a parecer ingleses, no lo son, y por tanto no existen en Inglaterra, pero sí existen en Estados Unidos. La siguiente es una lista con algunos ejemplos:

Bauer devino en Bower;
Baumann devino en Bowman;
Beihn devino en Beans;
Bischoff devino en Bishop;

Q: Bootstrap plugin pagination table not working with filter I have this bootstrap pagination plugin that allows me to paginate the results in a table.
I also have a filter input box where you can type something and the table results are filtered. The problem is that the pagination plugin doesn't work with the filtering.
Any ideas how I can make the filter work with pagination that the filtered results are paginated based on the filter and not based on the original items in the table.
Bootply example
In the example above you should try filter by ID number ex: 99 ...


In the last section of Part One of Verbum Domini, the Holy Father states that "authentic biblical hermeneutics can only be had within the faith of the Church". The paradigm - the model - of this is Mary's fiat: "May it be done to me according to your word" (Luke 1:38). Mary demonstrated faithful obedience to the angel's message. We're to show similar faithful obedience to the Church in our reading of Scripture.
Is this too restrictive? No. The foul lines don't restrict me from playing basketball; they allow me to play. The lines on the road don't restrict me from driving; they allow me to enjoy the freedom of the road. The limits give the freedom. This seems paradoxical to us only because we, as a culture, have a lousy working definition of freedom.
In the same vein, "the ecclesial context" is not a rule applied to Biblical study but an intrinsic part of it, as the lines are part of the road or the playing field. This context - reading the Bible within the Church - allows us to enjoy fruitful Bible study. "(T)he ecclesial context...is something demanded by the very nature of the Scriptures and the way they gradually came into being."
Reading the Bible without communion, without a full faith life, "might suggest interesting elements on the level of textual structure and form" but could not begin to plumb the depths of the meaning of God's written Word.
What does this mean for us? If you want rich Scriptural study, live a rich Catholic life. The Mass is Scriptural. The Catholic life is Scriptural. The more we live it, the more we'll see it in Scripture, and when we recognize ourselves on the surface of Scripture, we'll be more ready and able to dive past that reflection and into the ocean of His Word.
