Context. - Managing thoracic aortic aneurysms identified incidentally by increased use of computed tomography, echocardiography, and magnetic resonance imaging is problematic, especially in the elderly. Objective. - To ascertain whether the previously reported poor prognosis for individuals with thoracic aortic aneurysms has changed with better medical therapies and improved surgical techniques that can now be applied to aneurysm management. Design. - Population-based cohort study. Setting and Patients. - All 133 patients with the diagnosis of degenerative thoracic aortic aneurysms among Olmsted County, Minnesota, residents between 1980 and 1994 compared with a previously reported cohort of similar patients between 1951 and 1980. Main Outcome Measures. - The primary clinical end points were incidence, cumulative rupture risk, rupture risk as a function of aneurysm size, and survival. Results. - In contrast to abdominal aortic aneurysms, for which men are affected predominately, 51% of thoracic aortic aneurysms were identified in women who were considerably older at recognition than men (mean age, 75.9 vs 62.8 years, respectively; P = .01). The overall incidence rate of 10.4 per 100 000 person-years (95% confidence interval [CI], 8.6-12.2) between 1980 and 1994 was more than 3-fold higher than the rate from 1951 to 1980. The cumulative risk of rupture was 20% after 5 years. Seventy-nine percent of ruptures occurred in women (P = .01). The 5-year risk of rupture as a function of aneurysm size at recognition was 0% for aneurysms less than 4 cm in diameter, 16% (95% CI, 4%-28%) for those 4 to 5.9 cm, and 31% (95% CI, 5%- 56%) for aneurysms 6 cm or more. Overall 5-year survival improved to 56% (95% CI, 48%-66% between 1980 and 1994 compared with only 19% between 1951 and 1980 (P<.01). Conclusions. - In this population, elderly women represent an increasing portion of all patients with clinically recognized thoracic aortic aneurysms and constitute the majority of patients whose aneurysm eventually ruptures. Overall survival for thoracic aortic aneurysms has improved significantly in the past 15 years.

Posted on 04/03/2010 11:44:59 PM PDT by Nachum
(IsraelNN.com) The Obama administration has cancelled airport security restrictions on 14 terror-related countries, including American Muslim allies such as Saudi Arabia. Instead, the United States is relying on "real-time intelligence to prevent terrorist attacks in the air.
American security officials several months ago clamped down on travelers from Cuba and 13 Muslim countries after Nigerian Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab passed through security systems and tried to blow up a plane from Amsterdam to Detroit. Shortly afterwards, new regulations required travelers with passports from those 14 countries to undergo a thorough body search before boarding.

US Criticizes Israel for Security Restrictions on Tourists
Published: 08/20/09, 9:10 AM / Last Update: 08/20/09, 9:37 AM
The U.S. State Department Wednesday sharply criticized Israel for travel restrictions on Americans, mostly of Arab origin and whom Israel considers security risks. “We have made it quite known to the Israeli government ... that we expect all American citizens to be treated the same regardless of their national origin,” State Department spokesman Ian Kelly said.

“...including American Muslim allies such as Saudi Arabia.”
Yeah, those good old boys. I’m glad we aren’t treating them as though they were a source of terrorists. After all, the only thing they have in common with terrorists is that they are muslim, spend more money than anyone on the planet to support the psycho wahhabist sect madrassas, and had a batch of their citizens fly airplanes into some of our buildings killing a few thousand folks.
Yup, great allies, those Saudis.
“...that we expect all American citizens to be treated the same regardless of their national...”
What a complete asshat.

"Monday burn Millay, Wednesday Whitman, Friday Faulkner, burn ’em to ashes, then burn the ashes." For Guy Montag, a career fireman for whom kerosene is perfume, this is not just an official slogan. It is a mantra, a duty, a way of life in a tightly monitored world where thinking is dangerous and books are forbidden.
In 1953, Ray Bradbury envisioned one of the world's most unforgettable dystopian futures, and in Ray Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451, the artist Tim Hamilton translates this frightening modern masterpiece into a gorgeously imagined graphic novel. As could only occur with Bradbury's full cooperation in this authorized adaptation, Hamilton has created a striking work of art that uniquely captures Montag's awakening to the evil of government-controlled thought and the inestimable value of philosophy, theology, and literature.
Including an original foreword by Ray Bradbury and fully depicting the brilliance and force of his canonic and beloved masterwork, Ray Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451 is an exceptional, haunting work of graphic literature.
Look Inside This Stunning Adaptation of Fahrenheit 451
In the panels below, fireman Guy Montag returns home after a night of burning books and encounters Clarice, a teenager who changes his life.
Click on each image to enlarge.
From Publishers Weekly
A faithful adaptation of the original, Hamilton's comics version conveys the social commentary of the novel, while using the images to develop the tone. He uses grainy, static colors and images obscured by heavy black shadows and textures to portray the oppressive nature of this world where firemen start fires instead of putting them out. Malevolent forces and danger lurk in the shadows pervading the suburban home of fireman Montag and his wife, Mildred. Montag questions the happiness of his mundane life when prodded by his strange new neighbor, a young girl named Clarisse, as well as his wife's drug overdose. This leads him to throw himself into a dangerous struggle to expose the world's hypocrisy by spreading the forbidden knowledge contained in books. The art solidifies atmospheric elements such as the fire and rain; fire, tapering and curling, is rendered into a crucial additional character. Since the original expounds the importance of valuing and preserving books and knowledge, adapting it into the comics form emphasizes the growth of the medium, as well as its potency across genres and subjects.

Selin ATAY-TDO- According to a complaint filed by Belarus opposition politician Maria Kolesnikova’s lawyer, Maria Kolesnikova said a security officers put a bag over her head and threatened to kill her when they tried to forcibly deport her to Ukraine earlier this week.
Belarus opposition politician prevented the attempt to expel her by tearing up her passport.
Maria Kolesnikova said in her statement that she had genuinely feared for her life during the failed deportation attempt.
“In particular it was stated that if I did not voluntarily leave the Republic of Belarus, I would be taken out anyway, alive or in bits. There were also threats to imprison me for up to 25 years,” Belarus opposition politician said.
Maria Kolesnikova was told there would be “problems” for her while she was held under guard or in jail.
“The persons indicated (security officers) uttered threats to my life and health, which I took to be real,” Kolesnikova said.
Kolesnikova’s lawyer Lyudmila Kazak filed a criminal complaint against Belarusian authorities including the KGB security police, for kidnap, illegal detention and threats to commit murder.
The complaint was submitted to the state Investigative Committee. The representative of the Committee Sergei Kabakovich asked for a comment about Kolesnikova’s case and he said “At the present moment I have no information about this.”

Hawaii To Test New Missile Interceptor As False Alarm Triggers North Korea Anxiety
A groundbreaking missile defense test is expected soon on Kauai that has ramifications for the defense of Hawaii from North Korean ballistic missiles.
The U.S. Missile Defense Agency is expected to fire a Raytheon SM-3 Block IIA, an enhanced-capability missile co-developed with Japan, from the Aegis Ashore test facility at the Pacific Missile Range Facility.
The missile is anticipated to target a mock intermediate- range ballistic missile, but the agency said in June that the SM-3 IIA “could add another layer of defense to Hawaii” for intercontinental-range North Korean missiles.
The government-owned 666-foot Pacific Tracker, which has long-range, high-data-rate telemetry processing systems, was docked next to Aloha Tower on Monday.
The Kauai test comes at a time of heightened awareness of North Korean capabilities following Saturday’s false-alarm ballistic missile warning.
“I am still a staunch believer that Hawaii is underdefended, and maybe what will be tested at Barking Sands is the answer to our problems and an answer to the many prayers that went up all over Hawaii on Jan. 13,” said state Rep. Gene Ward.
Ward sent a letter in July to Defense Secretary James Mattis asking him to consider “operationalizing” the Aegis Ashore facility on Kauai, which is used as a test site, for Hawaii’s defense.
Riki Ellison, chairman of the nonprofit Missile Defense Advocacy Alliance, also maintains Hawaii is underdefended and has pushed for using Aegis Ashore in emergencies or giving the Pearl Harbor destroyer USS John Paul Jones, used as a missile defense test bed, added responsibility as a defense ship for Hawaii.
Missile maker Raytheon said the new SM-3 IIA, expected to be used at Aegis Ashore sites in Japan, Romania and Poland, is initially aimed at shooting down short- to intermediate-range ballistic missiles.
Intermediate-range missiles fly up to 3,400 miles, while intercontinental ballistic missiles are defined as having a greater range. Hawaii is 4,660 miles from North Korea.
U.S. Pacific Command and Navy officials recently said the Kauai Aegis Ashore site is not suited for a defense role because of the current SM-3 1B missile’s limited capabilities. Newer SM-3 IIA missiles have a wider body, fly much faster and have a range of 1,350 miles — more than triple that of the SM-3 1B.
The Technical Research and Development Institute (TRDI), Japan Ministry of Defense (MOD), and the U.S. Missile Defense Agency (MDA), in cooperation with the U.S. Navy, announced the successful completion of a Standard Missile-3 (SM-3) Block IIA flight test from the Point Mugu Sea Range, San Nicolas Island, Calif. This test, designated SM-3 Block IIA Cooperative Development Controlled Test Vehicle-01, was the first live fire of the SM-3 Block IIA. The missile successfully demonstrated flyout through nosecone deployment and third stage flight. No intercept was planned, and no target missile was launched.Ralph Scott/Missile Defense Agency
At a June 7 congressional hearing, Vice Adm. James Syring, the now former director of the Missile Defense Agency, was asked about the defense of Hawaii and potential use of the SM-3 IIA — which comes from a line of ship-based missiles — against North Korean threats.
“We’ve done the analysis and looked at that extensively,” Syring said. There is “inherent capability to engage longer-range threats,” and while the missile hasn’t been tested in such a capacity, “analysis indicates that that could add another layer of defense to Hawaii,” he said.
Ellison noted that the National Defense Authorization Act for 2018 requests that the agency test the SM-3 IIA against an ICBM target.
“The United States will very soon test the Aegis Ashore site in PMRF on shooting down missiles that will prove out its deployment to Poland this year,” Ellison said in an email. “It is unbelievable that those limited SM-3 Block IIA interceptors will be going to Poland instead of Hawaii.”
Forty-four ground-based interceptors in Alaska and California defend Hawaii and the mainland against North Korean missiles. However, Hawaii’s closer proximity means an enemy missile would arrive in just 20 minutes and limits what officials call a “shoot, look, shoot” second chance for success.
The ground-based system has a record of 10 intercepts in 18 attempts, or a 56 percent success rate.
“Against (ICBMs) the state of Hawaii is protected by the current ground-based defense system that we have in place. … So the protection for Hawaii is there,” George Kailiwai, director of the requirements and resources directorate at Pacific Command, said at a military conference last week.
A $1 billion medium-range discrimination radar is planned for Hawaii with activation in 2023. The possibility of adding interceptor missiles is “still under study,” Kailiwai said. “We’re looking at the sensor first and then the interceptors second,” he said.

Nearly a decade after he allegedly murdered an unarmed Afghan civilian during a 2010 deployment, the case of Army Maj. Matthew Golsteyn is finally going to trial.
PESHAWAR, Pakistan (Reuters) - The Taliban have sent a delegation to Russia to discuss prospects for a withdrawal of U.S. troops from Afghanistan following the collapse of talks with the United States this month, officials from the insurgent group said.
The move, days after President Donald Trump canceled a planned meeting with Taliban leaders at his Camp David retreat, came as the movement looks to bolster regional support, with visits also planned for China, Iran and Central Asian states.

Per his final demands, Joe Heller was laid in his casket Thursday in a T-shirt featuring the Disney dwarf Grumpy and the middle finger of his right hand extended. He also told his daughters to make sure and place a remote control fart machine in the coffin with him.
"My father always wanted the last laugh," daughter Monique Heller said.
The Essex volunteer firefighter and self-described local "dawg kecher" died on Sept. 8 at age 82, and the off-color obituary written by his youngest daughter has become a nationwide sensation — a lead item on cable news sites, a top story on The Courant's website and a post shared far and wide on social media.
Laced with bawdy humor, the irreverent but loving obit captured Heller's highly inappropriate nature and his golden heart, friends who filled the fire station for a celebration of his life on Thursday evening said.
A 19-year-old man who planned a July mass shooting at a West Lubbock hotel that was thwarted by his grandmother was upset that he was considered "defective" by the military when he was discharged for his mental illness, according to court records.
William Patrick Williams faces federal charges for reportedly lying on an application to buy the semiautomatic rifle he planned to use in a shooting, according to a federal indictment filed Aug. 14.
He is charged with a federal felony count of making a false material statement during the purchase of a firearm on July 11, a day before he planned to lure people out of a hotel and shoot them. The charge carries a punishment of up to five years in prison.

Via the Telegraph:
The United Nations refugee organisation confirmed on Tuesday that while "destruction of buildings and houses is not as widespread as was initially feared", Georgians still inside the occupied territory were living in fear.
"There is still a great deal of fear among the people currently residing in these villages," a team of UNHCR officials reported.
"Beatings, looting and arson by marauding militias have created an atmosphere of fear and insecurity."
The Daily Telegraph on Monday confirmed the findings after travelling behind Russian military checkpoints to villages near the South Ossetian boundary.
Six and half and miles inside the zone, the few remaining inhabitants of the village of Tkviav remain terrified of paramilitary South Ossetian militias.
One man hiding in trees by the roadside warned that the area was still unsafe amid continuing robberies and assaults.
"It has been chaos here," he said.
"The Russians do not protect us. After their tanks went past the Ossetian militia came to rob and kill us. They murdered seven people here."
Closer to Gori, Georgians are slowly returning to villages. In the Karaleti area, right on the boundary of the buffer zone, up to 80 per cent of the population has returned, according to the UN.
But Nani Kharibegashvili, who stayed in Karaleti throughout the conflict, is still frightened.
"We still do not feel safe at night when the militia are out driving in their cars. Everyone stays inside and hopes they do not come," she said.
Her sister, Raisa, who has a daughter serving with Georgian military forces in Iraq, feels betrayed by the West.
"We have good relations with the West and the West should have done more to help us," she said.
A Russian soldier, guarding the Karaleti checkpoint, claimed that he was sympathetic to the plight of local Georgians.
"It is not up to me, it is our chiefs. We would like to help and we feel sorry for people frightened of the militias," he said.
The UN has estimated that 68,000 of 127,000 internally displaced Georgians have returned home under pressure to get the harvest in before winter.

Former star of RTE’s The Clinic, actress Leigh Arnold, hosted the first ever Patron Lunch in aid of FirstLight in Dublin’s Fade Street Social restaurant last Friday
FirstLight offers support and information and promotes research into the sudden, unexpected, often unexplained deaths of infants and young children. It’s a charity that is particularly close to Leigh’s heart, as she herself lost her baby son Flynn to to SIDA (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome) in 2013, a tragic event which she speaks movingly about in the current issue of VIP.
Speaking about the lunch, Leigh said that the awareness and funds raised today will help FirstLight to continue their development of the CONI (Care of Next Infant) programme, which helps parents who have suffered a sudden and unexpected death of a baby, and often feel anxious when they have another baby.
Guests at the charity lunch included Leigh’s husband Steve Davis, her sister Chloe Arnold, Katie Jane Golden, designer Helen Cody, and comedian Alan Shortt who was MC on the day.

I’ve been in a big rut, just not feeling 100%. I’m on the way back up now.
Here are some photos of a Fair Isle Pullover sleeve, one in progress and one completed.
Although I don’t have any photos to show it, the pullover is now nearly finished. It’s all sewn up, collar knitted, and I’m now in the process of weaving in ends. There are tons of them! I spent ages on it last night and there’s still lots to go.
I used Shirley Paden’s “Knitwear Design Workshop”
to work out how to do a polo collar. It’s worked out beautifully! I’m feeling like an awesome clever clogs!! 🙂
I wanting to get this finished so I can get going on a scarf for this year’s Scarf Festival
which is being hosted by the National Wool Museum in Geelong. I haven’t done this before. It should be fun!
Go on. Take the plunge and design a scarf for this festival! Entries close on the 6th of May. This year’s theme is the Rhythm of Life.
Scarves are great to start designing with. No shaping issues! You can just knit till you’ve had enough and then stop. Entry forms are available from the linked page.
The back of my Fair Isle pullover is finished! Yay! The allover nature of the pattern, with 5 different contrast colours makes it so interesting to look at. I know I keep saying it, but I get a better idea of it looking at the photos than when I’m working on it. I suppose it’s that big picture that I’m getting – standing back to observe.
In between finishing the back and really getting into the front, I’ve been knitting a little project as part of a KAL (Knit a Long). I explain that, because you might be like me, and take a couple of years to work out what KAL stands for. There’s a great monthly KAL happening in the Budding Designers Downunder
group on Ravelry. The KAL supports a different budding Australian or New Zealand designer each month. This month it’s Christine Jeffery. I’ve chosen her Tell Me a Tail bookmark
. I’m not sure that the Regia 4 colour sock yarn
that I’ve chosen is exactly letting this pattern stitch shine at it’s best, it’s still a fun and pretty project. It didn’t take long to find a member of the family putting their hand up for this one!
I think this is a pretty good effort for one week of non-concerted effort. A tension square was absolutely necessary, especially in helping to select colours. I’d initially chosen yarn colours from a webpage. When I knitted up the tension square, I could see that a couple of them didn’t have enough contrast with the main colour. So I went for a deeper version of those colours, and they’re working out really well.
All of the fair isle patterns I’m using have an odd number of rows, so the new colour starts at one end, and finishes at the other end. Odd numbers of rows and stitches do seem to look better in a lot of designs. Maybe that’s a standard thing with fair isle; I don’t know. I suppose this means the ends will be woven in evenly along both sides, but I’m finding it a bit annoying. I was thinking that having all the ends at one side would mean I could tie them off against each other.
The rib band wants to flip up, so I’ve had to weight it down with a couple of balls of yarn for the photo.
Both the Abundance Pullover and the Leafy Squares Fingerless Mitts are coming to the end of their test phase. I’m hoping to have more news on them soon.
Exciting news: I’ve had a design accepted with a magazine! I’ll have to contain my excitement until June, when it will be published.
The Fair Isle Pullover I mentioned in my previous post is now underway, as pictured.
It’s nice to see it at a distance like this. When I’m knitting, I’m too close up to see how the pattern’s really looking. Hmm. Looks a bit narrow, now that I see it like this. I’ll have to do another measure, to make sure its’s big enough.
My two current test knits which are underway, the Abundance Pullover and the Leafy Squares Fingerless Mitts, are coming along nicely. One of each is finished, and they look great. I’m not sure what to do with the pullover, as my testers are finding that it blocks bigger than it should. When all are done, I’ll have to go over all the final measurements, and see if I can adjust the pattern to fix this.
My Leafy Squares Fingerless Mitts are up for test knitting at the moment. They look very svelte.
I’ve had a couple of takers for test knitting already, and am hoping for just a couple more. They don’t take long to knit, so I’m hoping the pattern will be all ready for release in a couple of weeks time.
As you can see by the shorts, it’s not really mitt wearing weather here at the moment. But that doesn’t stop the knitting here, until my hands get sweaty. Thankfully, it takes quite a lot of heat for that to happen to me.
In other news, I’ve just finished the calculations and rough writing up of a Fair Isle Pullover I’m desigining. My tension square was interesting in helping work out which colours to use. A couple that I’d chosen based on their colour on the computer screen, turned out to be too similar to my background colour when seen in real life.
I was desperate to get this written up, ready to start knitting at least by the end of this month, as I’ll be on camp for a little while and must have knitting. It’s the ideal opportunity to get a lot done.
My new Hearts and Crosses Cowl pattern is now available.
It’s a great way to practice your Fair Isle skills without having to knit a whole pullover. The carried threads of the Fair Isle really add warmth. Just what we want! I was a bit rusty, so it took a bit of practice for me to carry the threads loosely enough, no matter how hard I tried. Lightly pressing under a damp cloth got rid of those little stubborn bumps, and it looks lovely and smooth now.
The yarn I’ve used for the Fair Isle pattern is variegated and so has sparked up the whole look.
Hearts and Crosses Cowl
Yarn suggested : Cleckheaton Country Naturals and Cleckheaton Country Prints or any other 8 ply/DK ply yarn
Gauge : 25 stitches = 4 inches in Fair Isle Stocking/Stockinette Stitch
Needle Size : 4mm circular needle 40cm (16 in)
Meterage : 140 mtrs / 155 yards Main Colour
65 mtrs / 70 yard Contrast Colour
This pattern is available to buy from Ravelry for $US 3.50

The big change will begin on the night of Friday, May 13, 2016.
The Oklahoma Department of Transportation is overseeing a $45 million project to replace eight bridges - four in each direction - including 56th Street North, Bird Creek and a Bird Creek overflow area and 66th Street North.
The contractor has finished building all four new bridges for southbound traffic, so this weekend it will move both northbound and southbound traffic onto those new bridges. They're big enough to handle two lanes of traffic in each direction.
The change is scheduled to be finished in time for Monday morning's rush-hour traffic.
For months, northbound traffic has been using the outside lanes of the partially-constructed new northbound bridges at Bird Creek, but after this weekend those lanes will be closed for months.
The next step will be to demolish the old box truss bridge over the creek. It was originally built to carry northbound traffic, but has been carrying southbound traffic for several months while the brand new southbound bridges were finished.
When the project is complete, scheduled for early 2017, Highway 169 will be six lanes wide to the railroad bridge just south of 76th Street.

A plant called bladderwort (Utricularia) uses zooplankton and insects as food sources. They are referred to as carnivorous plants. As they can get the light they require by eating other living things like plants, animals, insects, etc.
The genus of carnivorous plants, known by the common name Utricularia, comprises around 232 different species in its family. Bladderwort can be found all throughout the world, with the exception of Antarctica, where it only grows on wet or watery soils.
These plants catch living things like insects in hollow sacs that resemble bladders and are used to digest any prey they come into contact with. The trap can consume the rotifers and protozoa from wet soil and is approximately 0.2 mm to 1.2 cm long.
These can be multiplied by using their blossoms, which are comparable to the most well-known orchid and snapdragon plants. Some of the species are quite rare and can be found in South America and Australia.
The most attractive flowers are those that are purple and yellow, yet it has many different hues and is simple to grow. It has a size range of 3 mm to 10 cm, and most of its growth is vertical. You might think some of its colors are lovely, and that’s possibly why some insects are drawn to its flowers.
Some species of Utricularia have branches as well as slender stems, and occasionally they do generate leaves that can carry out the photosynthesis process that plants generally carry out. At that point, it might stop eating small creatures and turn to the sun for food.
Bladderwort is used to treat kidney stone sufferers as well as those with urinary tract infections.
Additionally, they could aid in triggering gallbladder secretions and perhaps promote weight loss. Additionally, it can treat spasms, fluid retention, and edema [Source 1].
The dried bladderwort leaves can be used to brew tea with medicinal benefits, according to WebMd. Many people employ this carnivorous plant to treat kidney stones, but I argue that lemon and pomegranate juice would be preferable because they clear the tract.
There are more possibilities to attempt because there isn’t any solid scientific evidence indicating whether they will or won’t work.
Warning: Consult a doctor or a plant expert before utilizing anything for medical purposes.
Although the bladderwort life cycle is unknown, it is known that they are perennial carnivorous plants, which means they can live for more than two years. This means they can live indefinitely by using any form of multiplication.
Native to the Northern Hemisphere, bladderwort has been found in a variety of habitats, including rivers, marshes, huge lakes, streams, soggy soil, small and large ponds, and deep water that is 4-6 feet below the surface.They can be found in various regions of the United States.
Bladderwort mostly consumes small insects, including larvae, water fleas, and worms, as well as aquatic invertebrates like annelids and arthropods ( which are small tiny animals with no backbone). These are included in several animal species.
Bladderworts are adapted to arid climates and can directly draw all the water from neighboring surfaces through their roots. Bladderwort can live in low-water areas with ease and devour various types of microscopic insects and zooplankton to stay alive.
To catch any prey, these plants float both above and below the water’s surface.
The bladderwort has no roots and only a stalk, which is occasionally transparent. Above the stem is a flower bloom, which closes when an insect rests on it.
The four most popular Utricularia species are among its more than 210 total species.
In ponds, lakes, and other bodies of water, all four of these are waiting for the little insects with leaves floating on the water’s surface. They don’t need roots and develop their stems horizontally.

Alright, have you ever had one of those days where everything went wrong? Well, today was one of those days! First off, it was about as hot and humid as possible which made everything else just even worse. Right from the get go this morning I could tell it was just going to be one of those days. First job of the day, a Chevy Trailblazer with a check engine light. No big deal there, but after diagnosis, he didn’t want anything fixed. Those type of customers are really disliked by mechanics!
It’s like, why bring your car in if you’re not going to fix anything? Usually those types just want it diagnosed so they can have Mr. Alley mechanic do the job for real cheap. The thing is, those guys usually mess things up and they have to come back to us anyway. In this line of work, the saying is always true, you get what you pay for!
Anyway, on the next job which was a Chevy Corvette. He wanted the thermostat replaced and a coolant flush. Easy enough, right? Wrong! Unfortunately is was a LT1 powered Corvette where the distributor, called an Opti-Spark, is right behind the water pump. You basically cannot do any kind of work there without getting the Opti-Spark wet. Now, for those of you who know anything about ignition components, what happens when you get them wet? That’s right, you have a no start condition or it will run really, really bad. I had both on this particular vehicle! So now, the job is done but the car runs bad, dies out, and hardly re-starts. I’m not going to make any customers happy with that result!
So now I have to try to dry off the distributor which is next to impossible. I decide to let the car sit outside in the sun with the hood up, and wait it out while I got onto the next job. Actually, the next two jobs. They were both in and out rather quickly. One being a brake job and the other needed an oil pressure switch. Back to the Corvette, and luckily it dried out enough to start and run fine….whew!
Got that one out of there, but little did I know I had an even worse job waiting for me. Now, here’s where it gets tricky. As any other mechanic out there will tell you, we HATE having to do other mechanic’s work. When another guy orders parts for a car, and he isn’t there it put them on, and someone else has to do it, that’s about as lame as it gets! Well, guess what I had to do? Someone had ordered a seat belt for a Chevy Equinox, and I was the luck one to have to put it in. Now, this wasn’t any ordinary seat belt. It was the rear center seat belt retractor, and that just happens to be about the hardest one to replace on any GM vehicle. After a couple hours of disassembling the rear seat to get the new belt installed, in the 90+ degree shop mind you, I got another bonus. It ends up, the previous tech under-quoted the job, so that means I’m getting paid less time than I should. That was just the topping on the cake. Needless to say, after that one, I was about done for the day and not going to take on anymore jobs.
So there you have it, a very bad day in the life of a mechanic. And some days are even worse! So the next time you see your mechanic, or see he’s having a bad day, give him a little pat on the back to show some appreciation for all we go through to keep the customer happy!

It’s always an exciting time of year when kids get out of school for summer break. But with the extra time for outdoor activities, it’s important to remind children and teens about important pedestrian safety tips. Even if they’ve heard them before, a quick reminder will only take a few seconds and can potentially save their lives.
Here are ten quick tips to share with your kids:
1. Always look both ways before crossing. Never run into the street without looking and always pay attention.
2. Avoid taking roads that don’t have sidewalks, or crossing busy streets that don’t have cross walks.
3. Walk in the opposite direction of traffic so you’re facing the cars. This way you’re more aware of the cars coming towards you.
4. Never play in a street, parking lot or driveway.
5. Walk when crossing an intersection- don’t run.
6. Take the safest route with the least amount of street crossings.
7. Wear bright, reflective clothing during dawn, dusk or any low-light situations.
8. Always follow traffic signals and signs- they aren’t just for cars
9. Try to make eye contact with drivers when crossing the road. Just because you can see them, doesn’t always mean they can see you.
10. Always be aware of your surroundings.
Here’s an idea: Create your own list with your children and post it on a fridge or front door where they can easily access it!
Which pedestrian safety tips do you teach your kids?

Perkins understands that customers need to keep their machines running reliably for longer - so they can maximize their return on investment. To meet these needs Perkins has invested in innovative new solutions to give customers more choice, quality and value at every stage of the engine's life cycle.
At bauma Munich Perkins hosted a dedicated parts and service stand in hall A5, stand 207, enabling machine owners and operators to speak directly with its technical team and parts help desk, and discover more about the company's full range of aftermarket parts and services, plus digital solutions including the Perkins My Engine App, Perkins SmartCap and online parts shops.
"We're investing across our full range of parts and services to ensure we're supporting customers in everything we do," said Matt O'Sullivan, aftermarket general manager. "By providing more choice, better value, and better availability, we can help our customers enhance the return on their investment and ensure their machines run dependably and efficiently for many years."
Easy access to Perkins genuine parts
Perkins online parts shops are making it simple to buy genuine parts, directly from Perkins. The shops currently operate in the UK and U.S. with a view to expanding further in Europe throughout the year - offering anyone needing Perkins parts, particularly in small quantities, the speed, convenience and flexibility of online shopping.
Perkins is also making a considerable investment in its parts distribution centres with facilities in Irlam UK, Kentucky USA and Singapore, plus a new facility in Curitiba, Brazil, set to open within the next few months.
Innovative digital tools continue to evolve
Perkins is leading the way with some of the most useful and intuitive digital products on the market. The Perkins My Engine App and Perkins SmartCap bring major benefits to machine users. The Perkins SmartCap is the world's first low-cost engine telematics device. When used in conjunction with the app, it gives users accurate data about engine hours and locations, provides service reminders and important parts and consumables information.

Perkins has been developing aftertreatment systems for its engines since 2007. As experts in the industry the company has demonstrated that its solutions can be fit for life, offering many thousands of hours of seamless machine operation, when maintained correctly, as well as optimal engine performance and efficiency.
Regulators today are putting more enforcement in field measurement systems on machines, so for machine owners operating an engine in a highly regulated territory, it is crucially important that they ensure the engine remains within specified emissions limits.
Perkins quality control processes ensure the aftertreatment system meets the most stringent emission standards and gives maximum fuel efficiency whilst limiting emissions. It's comprised of a diesel particulate filter (DPF) which must be properly maintained to ensure the same high performance as when it left the Perkins factory.
To support customer requirements, Perkins is launching a complete range of cost-efficient solutions that ensure the DPF stays in perfect working order, including new, new-for-old and remanufactured options. All of these guarantee the DPF will operate to the same factory-fit standards as new regarding power, efficiency, and emissions. All Perkins DPF solutions include a full 12-month warranty.

I have been with my boyfriend for two years and everything was going great. We were in love, we had a great relationship, and I was really happy.
But recently, something has been bothering me and it’s making me think about ending the relationship.
My boyfriend snores. Not just a little bit, but really loudly like a wild boar. It’s so loud that it wakes me up several times a night and I can’t get any sleep.
I’ve tried talking to him about it but he just brushes it off and says it doesn’t bother him. But it bothers me and it’s been getting worse and worse.
I’ve tried wearing ear plugs but it’s still too loud and I can still hear it. I’ve also tried sleeping in another room but that didn’t help either.
I’ve even tried sleeping pills but they just make me groggy the next day and I can’t concentrate.
I’ve been trying to be understanding and supportive because I love him and I don’t want to hurt him. But I can’t go on like this.
I’m exhausted all the time and I can’t focus on anything. I feel like I’m going crazy.
I’ve talked to my friends about it and they all say the same thing. They think I should break up with him because of his snoring.
They say it’s not fair to me and that I should find someone who doesn’t snore so loudly.
Part of me still doesn’t want to end the relationship because I still love him and I don’t want to hurt him. But I know that I have to be honest with myself and with him.
I can’t go on like this. I’m exhausted and I can’t focus on anything.
So I’ve decided that I’m going to break up with him. It’s going to be hard and it’s going to hurt but I know it’s for the best. I need to find someone who I can sleep with peacefully and without interruption.
Breaking up with him is going to be hard but I know it’s for the best. I need to take care of myself and find someone who won’t keep me up all night with loud snoring.
I know he’ll be hurt but I hope he can understand.

Aya-Neo shows off its Next-Gen AMD Ryzen Cores For Potent Handheld Gaming.
Aya-Neo claims that it will be introducing “innovations never seen on a Windows gaming handheld”. The teaser posted on the company’s official account hints at the launch of next-gen AMD cores. The company is planning to reveal in-depth details in an announcement scheduled for the 28th of December.

1. The Consumer Electronics Shows scheduled at the start of January 2022, will be welcoming tons of new announcements.
2. This announcement will be made just before AMD’s CES live stream event.
Aya-Neo will surely not be using a discrete GPU with Ryzen 5000 series desktop CPU for its next generation handheld gaming system. The company has several options of system-on-chip to choose from.
One option will be taking inspiration from Valve with its Steam Deck, adopting a custom Van Gogh SoC. This would give the Next handheld Zen 2 CPU cores along with RDNA 2 graphics.

Washington [US]: Twitter’s claim seeking to hold Elon Musk to his USD 44 billion requisition bargain will most likely to a five-day trial in October, a judge on Tuesday ruled.
Recently, the microblogging website filed a legal action versus Musk after he chose to back out of the USD 44 billion requisition deal.
Twitter (TWTR) submitted an activity to expedite the proceedings and asked for a four-day trial in September. Musk’s lawful group opposed the motion.
” Twitter brings this action to advise Musk from more breaches to compel Musk to meet his lawful commitments and also to urge consummation of the merger upon fulfillment of minority outstanding conditions,” the social networks website wrote in the legal action.
The legal action marks the start of what could be a protracted lawful fight as Twitter seeks to hold Musk to his bargain to pay USD 54.20 per share for the firm.
Twitter, which is being repped by M&A giant law firm Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz, declared that Musk looked for a getaway from the bargain, which required a “material unfavorable effect” or breach of contract.”
Musk needed to try to invoke one of those,” the claim mentioned. Musk announced the discontinuation of a USD 44 billion Twitter purchase handle a letter sent out by Musk’s team to Twitter last week. Musk determined to put on hold the bargain due to several violations of the acquisition contract. In April, Musk got to a purchase arrangement with Twitter at USD 54.20 per share in a purchase valued at roughly USD 44 billion.
Nonetheless, Musk placed the bargain on hold in May to permit his group to assess the honesty of Twitter’s insurance claim that less than 5 percent of accounts on the system are crawlers or spam.
Back in June, Musk had actually openly charged the microblogging website of breaching the merger arrangement and threatened to leave and also call off the purchase of the social media business for not supplying the data he has actually requested on spam as well as fake accounts. Musk alleged that Twitter is “proactively withstanding and obstructing his information civil liberties” as described by the bargain, CNN reported, citing the letter he sent out to Twitter’s head of lawful, plan as well as trust, Vijaya Gadde.
Musk demanded that Twitter hand over details about its testing methods to sustain its insurance claims that crawlers and also phony accounts constitute less than 5 percent of the platform’s energetic customer base, a number the firm has actually consistently stated for years in boilerplate public disclosures.

At first Annie just wants to get over with the 9-month pregnancy period, hand over the baby and move on with life. From Tamil star Surya to Malayalam actor Ganesh,one common thing a lot of them use to say about Mohanlal is that even his fingers and fingernails can act. Sibi Malayil’s direction plus the awesome on screen presence of the gifted actor Mohanlal pulls off one of the well sorted out movies ever made in malayalam history. Not in a single scene she portrayed her role well. He deserved a national award for this movie but then maybe the movie was ahead of its time. He is completely taken up by the thought of having a child, the thought of finally having someone he can call his own. Loved the storyline, the direction and every character. It brought tears to my eyes and, trust me, I don’t usually cry that often watching movies Coming to the story and direction, this movie was far ahead of it’s time.
Retrieved from ” https: The usually rash and immature Rajiv is now a changed man, reading up books on pregnancy, childbirth and making sure that Annie stays in an atmosphere that is cheerful, beautiful and is taken care of by nurses, provided with the best diet and so on to ensure the birth of a healthy and happy baby. On Dec 19th , Drishyam releases. However, he was not successful. Finally Rajiv hands over the child to Annie. Lohithadas and directed by Sibi Malayil. I watched this movie when couple of my friends suggested me to watch it for the story and performance of each casts. The woman is not ready to give up the child at last.
Karamana Janardhanan Nair dasharstham Sukumaran also deserve praise. The top 25 Malayalam Movies of all time. Mohanlal’s dance performance is in favor of Sukumari. Dasaratham is one of my favorite all time movies.
The thing is that he doesn’t want to marry. Special mention should also be give Lohithadas script. Soon Rajiv gets attached to one of Scariah’s children and decides that he wants to have a child of his own, but neither does he want to get married nor does he want to adopt a baby.
In most movies in other Indian languages, some even as recent as Chori chori chupke chupkewhenever the heroine was not able to bear a child, the hero would have to sleep with another woman or something like that.
All three come together in this drama.
I can never dashzratham a Malayalam movie with a concept of artificial insemination in late eighties. It brought tears to my eyes and, trust me, I don’t usually cry that often watching movies Coming to the story and direction, this movie was far ahead of it’s time.
Dasharatham Climax Watsapp Download
Great film to watch and a collectors item for sure. Hats off to Sibi Malayil. Most actors in the movie have showed a brilliant performance. Mohanlal is ready to give the kid his daughter.

Even the first 30 mins or so will make you think that this wont be a good movie. Retrieved from ” https: It might still be the all time highest grossing Malayalam movie […]. Adding to his performance, I am not sure why the director chose Rekha. Find showtimes, watch trailers, browse photos, track your Watchlist and daxharatham your favorite movies and TV shows climxa your phone or tablet! I always broke into tears when I watch this scene, its such a touching scene where our maestro tells viewers, there is relationship with hearts between people which stands taller than relationship with blood.
In Dasharatham too ,he just sizzles on screen as you see in several instances like his introduction scene where he dashzratham random people in the bar to give him a company, when he gets out and walks into the glass door and when he gets into the jeep and searches for the steering.
I really did a background research to know if any movie was made on the same plot anywhere else and failed to find one, which proves it. Not in a single scene she portrayed her role well. The ending has a special thing about it and the charisma of Sibi Malayil is shown off conclusively.
He was only trying to act like a rich, modern, careless man turning to be a responsible father.
All Time Favorites – DASHARATHAM
The boldness of the concept together with the excellent narration gives casharatham movie gives the viewer the ultimate experience. Lohithadas and directed by Sibi Malayil. A must watch Malayalam movie and my all time favorite actor is at his best. The story of Mohanlal is a classic example of the climax scenes in the Dasrath.
Its simply the story. In the climax, Rajiv asks the maid Maggie Sukumariwhether dasharaham mother has an attachment to her child like Annie has.
You truly feel the emotions through his acting in this movie.

Maggie is dumbfounded while Rajiv walks off emotionally distraught and in cimax without waiting for an answer. Very good storyline with flawless script. Others’ performance were good. But today Dasharatham is a movie that a lot of us love watching many a time and also confounds us at the fact that we had such ace film makers in the past who could create such fresh and innovative stories. That just sums it up.

PASSAGE of the new comprehensive health care reform bill by Congress may not be the “game changer” some joyful Democrats are declaring it to be, but it may at least herald a new game for the 2010 midterm elections.
When the president re-engaged on health care four weeks ago — making clear his own priorities, inviting Republicans to a forum at Blair House and relentlessly pressing his case against the villainous insurance companies — the public noticed. Yet the Republicans were frozen in post-Massachusetts time, still reveling in Scott Brown’s surprise victory in the Senate race, which they felt was the result of an arrogant Democratic Party trying to jam an unpopular health care plan down the throats of the American people.
The Republicans handed Senator Brown the party’s weekend radio address on March 13. “Rarely have elected leaders been so intent on defying the public will,” he warned. In a similar vein, the House minority leader, John Boehner, said last Saturday that, “In a democracy, you can only ignore the will of the people for so long and get away with it.” Indeed, voters will have their say in November.
But the evidence shows that people were not sitting still as the politicians went into the final battle. Four of the seven latest major public polls showed an increase in the numbers favoring the health care reform as it was being debated over the last few weeks. Only one showed it losing ground.
While the health care battle over the previous nine months had intensified opposition to reform and fueled the “tea party” revolt, the last two months produced the opposite effect. A poll that I conducted with the Democratic strategist James Carville for Democracy Corps over the past week showed a 5-point increase in the number of self-identified “intense” reform supporters, to 24 percent. Likewise, the Kaiser Family Foundation’s latest poll found that 28 percent of respondents were now “strong” supporters, up from 19 percent in January.Continue reading the main story
Across the public polls, while a literal majority of 50 percent opposed the reform package, the number in favor rose last week to an average of 42 percent. Voters have been watching the two parties and starting to recalibrate in favor of the Democrats, who — if one averages polling by the Associated Press; CNN; and NBC/Wall Street Journal — now hold a 9-point average advantage on the question of which party would do a better job with health care.
In addition, Republicans may have crossed a line with voters, particularly independents. In our Democracy Corps poll, we found that favorability ratings among independents for incumbent Republican members of Congress had dropped by 11 points in the last month, to just 42 percent. The Republican vote among independents in the Congressional ballot dropped by 12 points.
Why? Independent voters may have been stirred by Senator Jim Bunning’s one-man filibuster that stopped work sites and unemployment checks. They may have noticed the Republicans’ last stand for the insurance companies, just as one of the largest insurers, WellPoint, raised its rates 39 percent.
As we look to the 2010 midterms, one must not overestimate the role the health care debate will play with voters. The economy remains the dominant concern. On virtually every economic question — the prospect of a recovery, job creation and their own finances — voters were more pessimistic than a month ago. While Democrats were making headway on health care, they lost ground on the question of who will do a better job on the economy, now trailing Republicans 38 percent to 44 percent.
Still, I believe that the Democrats’ winning on health care reform will affect voters’ perceptions on a wide range of issues. Competence and progress count. And all the comparisons to the 1994 midterms, indeed a disaster for Democrats, may need revision.
I got to view those elections from inside the White House as President Bill Clinton’s pollster, and am not able to forget what others may have forgotten. As the campaign began in earnest, we were just entering a harrowing six-month period for the president, starting with an independent counsel taking up the Whitewater investigation and the sexual harassment lawsuit filed by Paula Jones. That was followed by the ugly defeat of the president’s crime bill at the hand of the Democratic majority in the House and the health care fiasco. The voters reasonably came to view the Democrats as arrogant and incapable of governing.
By contrast, Democrats today could easily be at the beginning of a hopeful six-month period, starting with the signing of the health care legislation that will further raise the public profile of the president and the Democratic Congress.
One closing suggestion for President Obama. I worry that he is tempted to talk about how “America waited a hundred years” for this moment, as he did Sunday night, just as Republicans are talking about the dawn of socialism and the Europeanization of America. The health care reform victory was hard politics. The president should learn the bread-and-butter lesson of the last month: focus on telling voters what the insurance companies won’t be doing to you any more.
And then, create some jobs — that would be a true game changer.Continue reading the main story

Public Health Unit at Gateway Health Fair
Today marks the 4th Annual Gateway Youth Center Health Fair at the Constitution Park in Belize City where attendees can get free testing on everything from Diabetes to HIV. In addition to getting a better understanding of the services offered by the organizations taking part in the Fair. Those in attendance were: The Belize Cancer Society, Belize Council for the Visually Impaired(BCVI), Oceana, Ministry of Health, Belize Diabetes Association and of course our very own Public Health Unit. Students and teachers from the various highschools stopped by and gathered some flyers, asked questions and partook in the trivia games. The Belize City Council’s Public Health Unit’s Info desk was attended to by: Ms Tiffany Diaz – Sanitation Health Educator, Ms Lucy Avila Pitts – Sanitation Health Coordinator, Ms Josephine McCauley – Sanitation Health Educator and the Councillor with the responsibility of Public Heath, Councillor Deltrude Hylton. These ladies educated the public on the duties and responsibilities of their unit as well testing their knowledge of the Mayor & Councillors. All in all it was a notch on the Health Unit’s belt of creating an increasingly knowledgeable Belize City.

The studies of many-body dynamics of interacting spin ensembles, as well as quantum sensing in solid state systems, are often limited by the need for high spin concentrations, along with efficient decoupling of the spin ensemble from its environment. In particular, for an ensemble of nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers in diamond, high conversion efficiencies between nitrogen (P1) defects and NV centers are essential while maintaining long coherence times of an NV ensemble. In this work, we study the effect of electron irradiation on the conversion efficiency and the coherence time of various types of diamond samples with different initial nitrogen concentrations. The samples were irradiated using a 200 keV transmission electron microscope. Our study reveals that the efficiency of NV creation strongly depends on the initial conversion efficiency and on the initial nitrogen concentration. The irradiation of the examined samples exhibits an order of magnitude improvement in the NV concentration (up to ∼1011 NV/cm2), without degradation in their coherence time of ∼180 μs. We address the potential of this technique toward the study of many-body physics of NV ensembles and the creation of non-classical spin states for quantum sensing.

Surgeons at the Prince of Wales Hospital near Sydney have successfully fitted a patient with a 3D printed vertebrae implant during a 15 hour long and extremely difficult operation last December.
The doctors had to remove a tumour that was located at the top two vertebrae of the patient’s spine. “It involves exposure at the top of the neck, where the neck and the head meet, and it’s essentially [detaching] the patient’s head from his neck and taking the tumour out and reattaching his head back to his neck“, explains Dr. Ralph Mobbs, who conducted the particularly complicated surgery.
The 3D printed titanium vertebrae implant now connects the patient’s head to his neck and was custom fitted thanks to 3D printing technology. Dr. Mobbs added, that without the surgery the patient would have gradually lost function of his arms and legs, capacity to breathe and eat.


What strain is it? Granny Derkle- A strain desired for Sweet aroma and taste. Used as a calmative, while still energetic. Pleasant relaxed and clear headed. It is a Purple Diesel which is Marc Emery's NYC Diesel crossed to a Purple Haze, crossed to the Grandaddy Purple, Then crossed back to the Purple Urkel.
What percentages? 80% Indica/20% Sativa
Is it in Veg or Flower stage? Vegging.
If in Veg... For how long? It has been vegging since late April. It's estimated to mature at 8 weeks.
Soil mix? I used Fox Farms soil and a wonderful mix of local compost to amend the native soil.
Any Pests ? I had some minor leaf damage due to some mystery insects at first but due to the size of the plants ( currently 7' tall by 5' wide), the only damage comes from an occasional deer. I'm using Liquid fence around the area, so hopefully it will repel them enough from doing too much damage.
How often are you watering? I ran a drip system through the area to give them 4 gallons per hour and have found that giving them about 4-6 gallons a week during the summer is keeping them healthy.
Type and strength of ferts used? I don't use much besides dried chicken droppings scratched into the soil.
I'm new to this and this is my first time growing in the ground. I am surprised at the size and look forward to the end result. I will get more photos up as I progress. Unfortunately I cannot post photos of my other plants due to their location. I'm careful to abide by the laws of my state and it is the thieves that concern me more than anything else.


Lupo Italian Kitchen in Rehoboth Beach is one of six restaurants in Delaware to win a 2017 Wine Spectator Award. "Restaurants continue to raise their game when it comes to wine, and we are particularly proud to present this year's winners," said Marvin R. Shank, editor and publisher of Wine Spectator. Lupo, one of SoDel Concepts' 10 coastal Delaware restaurants, received an Award of Excellence for its well-chosen assortment of quality producers and a thematic match to the menu in price and style.
The Rehoboth Beach-Dewey Beach Chamber of Commerce welcomed Bluecoast Seafood Grill & Raw Bar to the resort community with a ribbon cutting June 26. Bluecoast Rehoboth is the newest SoDel Concepts restaurant, rounding the number to 10 locations on the Delaware Coast.
As many stories go around these parts, Chef Chris Parks found his way to SoDel Concepts thanks to the area’s small-town feel. A few years ago, Parks and his wife, Korin Miller, a writer, along with their oldest son Miles, now 4, were looking to relocate to the Delaware beach area having grown out of their small New York City apartment. One thing led to another, Parks interviewed with the late Matt Haley in 2014 and Parks started anew with SoDel.

Sen. Chris Coons recently visited Bluecoast Seafood Grill & Raw Bar to meet the staff and tour the new restaurant, which was built from the ground up on Route 1 near the entrance to downtown Rehoboth Beach.
SoDel Cares, the philanthropic arm of SoDel Concepts, recently donated $2,500 to the Rehoboth Beach Sunrise Rotary Club, part of a global organization of business and professional leaders providing humanitarian services in their communities.
Choosing the right menu took about 10 months. Choosing the right blueprint for their now 10th restaurant took nearly that long, too. But even with the layout designed entirely around the restaurant’s open kitchen — setting the stage for the chefs of SoDel Concepts more so than ever before — choosing the right chefs for the job took hardly any time at all for SoDel Concepts President Scott Kammerer and Vice President/Corporate Chef Doug Ruley.
The Clubhouse at Baywood, a full-service restaurant and banquet facility in Baywood Greens, recently hosted a Delaware Perfect Wedding Guide networking event for wedding professionals.

"It gave us the chance to showcase our recently renovated venue and the professionalism of our event staff."
Last weekend, two long-awaited restaurants—Bluecoast Seafood Grill & Raw Bar and The Vineyard Bar & Bistro—debuted in Rehoboth Beach. Located on Route 1 near the new Fresh Market and Bed Bath and Beyond, Bluecoast is the 10th restaurant under the SoDel Concepts umbrella and the second Bluecoast in the group. The first, situated in North Bethany Beach, is SoDel’s flagship restaurant and the business on which SoDel’s founder, Matt Haley, built a culinary empire along the coast.
The 10th restaurant to open in the empire that has become SoDel Concepts looks and feels like a celebration. So, fittingly enough, No. 10 is a bigger — much bigger — version of No. 1. SoDel Concepts opened the doors Thursday night to the brand-new Bluecoast Seafood and Raw Bar Thursday night in Rehoboth, 12 miles north on Coastal Highway from the original Bluecoast restaurant in Bethany Beach.
Last week I got a sneak peek at the soon-to-open Bluecoast Rehoboth in Gateway center - the 10th of SoDel Concepts’ owned and operated restaurants in Coastal Delaware. The simplicity of the all-white structure follows you through the double doors and into the 4,500-square-foot restaurant. Sparkling white kitchen tile is reinforced by whitewashed woods and white window frames that reach up to the soaring, open-plan ceiling. The kitchen is a chef’s dream, with roomy prep stations, sparkling new equipment and a walk-in refrigerator that’s bigger than many Manhattan apartments.
The new Bluecoast Seafood Grill & Raw Bar, scheduled to open in early June on Route 1 in Rehoboth Beach, has been built from the ground up, but the faces in the kitchen will be familiar to SoDel Concepts' longtime customers. The veteran chefs represent some of the finest in the SoDel Concepts hospitality group, which owns Bluecoast and nine other restaurants.
The decks at Papa Grande’s Coastal Taqueria locations in Fenwick Island and Rehoboth Beach will open on Cinco de Mayo, May 5.

Freeman Foundation, which also brings arts education to southern Delaware.
This year, Lupo Italian Kitchen in Rehoboth Beach, Bluecoast Seafood Grill in Bethany Beach and Catch 54 in Fenwick Island will feature a lavish brunch that aptly salutes these spring holidays. Easter is April 16; Mother's Day is May 14. Brunch on Easter and Mother's Day is from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Lupo and Catch 54, and 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Bluecoast. To make reservations, call Lupo at 302-226-2240, Bluecoast at 302-539-7111 or Catch 54 at 302-436-8600.
SoDel Concepts' foundation, SoDel Cares, recently donated $4,000 to the Food Bank of Delaware. The hospitality company presented the check when students from the nonprofit's culinary program visited SoDel Concepts' offices in downtown Rehoboth Beach. The culinary program is part of the Food Bank's mission to find long-term solutions to end hunger and poverty. The training encourages under- and unemployed Delawareans to find jobs in the food service industry, which currently has a high demand for skilled labor.
Scott Kammerer, president of Rehoboth Beach-based SoDel Concepts, recently announced the recipients of the company’s Shining Star awards for the first quarter of 2017. The recognition is given to employees who are committed to cultivating a positive work environment and giving guests a memorable dining experience. The general manager at each restaurant selects the award recipient, who receives a $250 bonus and certificate.
Frequent diners at SoDel Concepts’ nine restaurants have circled March on their calendars. Each restaurant is featuring a dessert made with Girl Scout Cookies. The public is invited to sample all the creations and vote for their favorite Thursday, March 30, at NorthEast Seafood Kitchen in Ocean View. SoDel Concepts purchases 1,000 boxes of cookies to make the desserts. “Each restaurant gets a certain flavor,” said Doug Ruley, corporate chef for SoDel Concepts. “The chefs and their teams come up with a recipe that complements the cuisine.”
Scott Kammerer, president of SoDel Concepts, recently announced the promotion of Raul Rodriguez to executive chef at Fish On, 17300 N. Village Main Blvd., Lewes. “Raul has so much talent,” Kammerer said. “He’s as considerate to his staff as he is creative in the kitchen. He’s such a nice person.”
"Our local Boys & Girls Club provides a wonderful service to families in our area, and they help kids realize their potential," said Scott Kammerer, president of SoDel Concepts, which has nine area restaurants and is the founder of SoDel Cares. "We are proud supporters of this organization, which plays a crucial role for working families in our community."

The Congress on Tuesday said it would support a legislation to keep criminals out of politics. It, however, expressed doubts about the intention of the government to bring such a law.
Talking to reporters here, AICC spokesperson Kapil Sibal said, “As far as the criminality and politics is concerned those elements who have criminal background or all those elements who have escaped criminal prosecution should not be in politics. If this Government brings a Legislation to ensure that criminals are out of politics, we will support it.”
He, however, expressed doubts about the intention of the government to bring such a law .
”This government will never bring such a law. For, if it does so, it’s strength will be reduced from 282 to 182. This is why they have not appointed a lokpal till now,” he said.
The Supreme Court on Tuesday asked the legislature to consider framing law to ensure decriminalisation of politics.
