I was really disappointed when I found this out, but not surprised, given how ****ing hot and dry its been.
I was hoping to catch a good fireworks show this weekend at Ft. Sam. The ones at Ft. Carson in Colorado were always spectacular. Oh well...
Yeah, they have canceled most (if not all) of the professional shows here as well. we got a bit of rain last week and the local news was reporting that all of the fireworks stands were petitioning our county government to lift the restriction... LOL! Other than last week and a quick dusting in May, I don't remember it raining here in San Antonio since about Dec or Jan.
Edit: by the way, Hello this is my first post in this forum. I traded in my Hero and got my 3vo yesterday.

Also my first Android phone. It was still clicking really well as far as speed, etc goes. Unfortunately, the charging/battery system had started to crap out. I would leave it plugged in all night (with the LED indicating it was charging) then wake up to a battery that was 9% full. In those times that I could get it to charge all the way, it would run through the entire battery in < 3 hours. The thing is, this happened all of a sudden (it was not a gradual descent into battery hell).
Well, my wife is pregnant and we are due in 3 months and she told me that this setup was completely unacceptable because if she went into labor and my phone was dead that she would flip. She demanded that I go buy a brand new phone to avoid the possibility of this happening (I have a good wife).
This needed to happen anyway because my wife has an Evo, we just put her best friend on our account and she has an Evo as well and it was a little imbalanced with me essentially being tech support for my "wives" and having the least capable phone.

Oh, it is really dry. In Texas alone, we have already had over a million acres burned just this year. Add that to all of the fires in New Mexico, and Arizona and you will get an idea as to how bad it is.
I got a Boomland right down the road right here in good ol southern Missoura. I hate buying expensive fireworks though its a waste on money, all up in smoke literally.

Where are you at in southern MO? I'm in the southeast corner, about 60-70 miles south of STL.
Got 6 fireworks tents within 10 miles of my house, and a huge store about 20 miles north. We always have a big 'ole fireworks display in our driveway, and our neighbors up the road all get wasted and blow **** up. It's a fun time
EDIT: Nevermind. Just saw you're in Dexter in your sidebar lol. Fail on my part. I'm in the Farmington area, about 90 miles north of you.

Fireworks ban in San Antonio sucks.... I'm heading there to see family this weekend, and I was going to load up the truck and trailer with fireworks (I have a friend that owns a few firework tents here, she gives them to me cheap, as a birthday gift).
I just need to vent. I know this is a technology site but I really need to put this out there.
As some of you know I work a few jobs in the EMS field as a paramedic and instructor. Recently my wife has been diagnosed with graves disease and type 1 diabetes. I am trying to be supportive for her but with everything we have been threw in our marriage I am having trouble carrying everything on my shoulders. I am trying to be the rock for her and put all my needs aside to take care of my wonderful wife. I just needed an outlet and the xda photon group has been wounderful. Thanks in advance to everyone. When things do hopefully get better I will try to come back to themeing and learning how to dev. I will still try to test as I can.
Thanks again everyone and sorry for any misspellings miss use of franker and rambeling. My mind is all over the place. I am use to acute medical emergiences not chronic and have to do a lot of studying and thinking process reform.

#1. It says General Chat, which means you do not have to necessairly talk about Photon. So Vent on.................
#2. Family first. F**k everyone else. I have not personally been in your shoes, but I watched a good friend give in to cancer. (I will never do that again)
#3. I dont have 3 jobs, I have one but it feels like it sometimes. Those 2 and 3 AM calls are a *****.
#4. I'm sure you have SOME downtime at the job, read as much as you can! become knowledgable and see where it goes...........(hell, Im at work bored. Let me see if I can find a book on the market)
Good Luck!

As a fellow Medic, I feel your pain.
On April 20, 2010 our lives changed forever. First mowing of the season, the landlord had some work done in both yards, and never finished debris removal. My then 4 year old daughter was behind me in a trailer playing with Barbies. I saw a rather large rock, put the tractor into reverse, my daughter falls out of the trailer, and I ran her over. She suffered a partial left foot amp, a compound tib/fib. I threw the tractor off of her, scooped her and ran into the house. My son called 911, and I grabbed my radio. She was bleeding everywhere. I set her on the counter, and the most vivid thing I can remember from that day is her grabbing what was left of her toes, and ripping them off. I secured them, iced them down, advised incoming units of plans to have her medevacced to the only hospital in the region that does micro surgery(the local "trauma center" doesn't have this capability). Truck arrives, we hop on board, IV initiated, loaded her up with Fentanyl, and intercept with my wife at the LZ and fly her. 5 weeks later she was discharged with ICU psychosis and PTSD as well. My wife became sick after that with Lyme. Not the stuff that goes away with a course of Doxy. She just finished about a 3 month course of IV Rocephin and oral Flagyl. She still has symptoms. Here in NY chronic Lyme doesn't exist according to our health insurance carrier, so everything is/was out of pocket.
Anyway, beyond all of that, we turned to the Lord. Not necessarily religion, but the Bible. And he has made our lives easier. I wasn't a believer until all of this happened. My daughter was the strongest faith I have ever seen. God does change lives. Read his word, and lay your problems at the altar.
Good luck my brother.

I just wanted to chime in here to let you know I empathize with your situation as well. Three years ago, my then two year old son (now five), got very sick for two months and no one could figure out why. Doctor after doctor blew it off as the flu or some other nonsense before one FINALLY sent us to our area Children's Hospital. He was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes and admitted to the icu with DKA. We spent three days in the icu and two more in the hospital as his blood sugar was insanely high and had been for a long time. It's been a hell of an adjustment for all of us, and it's still stressful, but he's healthy and happy now. I don't know about Graves Disease, but I get the diabetes, and it does get easier.

I see alot of member's signature's with Military comments, so I wanted to take a minute to say hello and introduce myself! Some things to clear the air......
1. I was never in a war.
2. I never killed anyone.
3. I was never in Special Ops!
4. I have seen an A1 Abrams Tank, HUGE! (They would not let me play with it!)
5. When I was a member of Division Schools, I signed up for B.U.D. School. My black ass lasted 2 hours before they kicked my ass out!!! (Did get free trip to Hawaii?)
6. I went to Team Sprit in South Korea in 1982. I found that my peepee dont work at 30 below zero!!! Even if you get hooker, your stuck!
7. I tried boxing one year. Round one I beat the crap out of Puerto Rican in Army. Round two, I beat the crap out of him again. Round three, I was too tired to lift my arms, I tried to run the Puerto Rican took a liking to my ribs. I lost!
8. I went to jail twice in Japan. Once, we were all riding in a Duce 1/2 heading to Kadena Air Base and we had bright idea to all try our gas mask. Japaneese PoPo did not like that joke!
9. I did J.E.S.T (Jungle Enviroment Surival Training) in the Phillipines. It took them 6 month of canceellation before they put me in this one week course. I walked the streets of Subic Bay for 6 months! One thing I did learn, If you do not eat for 3 days, everything taste like chicken!
10. Getting around a Aircraft carrier is not as easy as one might think!!
Speaking of Aircraft carrier's, if you seen that movie with Owen Wilson "Behind Enemy Lines" Where that aircraft carrier is out at sea alone, that filiming is BS! You will NEVER see an Aircraft Carrier alone unless it's docked!!! It's pack of support ships, destroyers, sub always leaave first to support it. Same with reverse, That carrier docks first before anyone comes home!
What's up,
SGT. Moonz, reporting.
Wanted to introduce myself too, I was in the Army, Active duty for 7 years (02-09)
I was stationed in Kitzingen, Germany for 3 years then in a NATO unit in Naples, Italy. Was also stationed in Ft Gordon, Georgia and Ft Huachuca, Arizona.
2 combat tours in Bahgdad Iraq.
First tour I was the Lead gunner on my Co. Convoy team, over 300 logged Combat Patrols.
Second tour I was a team leader for my commo team, attached to the 2nd Infantry div. And 10th Mountain div. In tiny J.S.S.'s (joint service stations with Iraqi forces) and C.O.P.'s (combat out posts) in Bahgdad. I don't want to get into all the other stuff but, just wanted to checkin and say Hoooooaah.

I too was in the service. USN from 88 to 92. Torpedo catcher duty(Guided Missile Frigate).
Comical, but I was a journeyman machinist when I got out, and for the last 18 years I have been a Paramedic. Life is strange, but it has been a good ride so far.

Wanna here a funny Navy joke, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad stated the Iran Navy was prepared to attack the U.S. 5th Fleet and shut down the Shipping Stright! I bet that Captin is still laughing.
Almost as funny as the Solmani Pirates that fired on a French Destroyer. The French are still pissing themself over that one.
Any way, welcome!
Sgt Taber here. I was in the army for 10 yrs. was a 26H (air defense radar repairer)
a 24N (Chaparral Missile system mechanic) and a 24T (Patriot Missile system repairer). Spent 5 months in Saudi during desert storm
I've been stationed at Ft Bliss, TX, Ft Lewis, WA, Korea, and Germany
I.B.M. 4381 System Programmer. I was supposed to write COBOL, VTAM for VSE but....................
When I got to Okinawa, I was put on Special Duty at Camp Hansen Division Schools. After that, I was supposed to teach COBOL at Quantico, I again got sent to Special Duty at Officer Leadership School. After that, I wanted to do Recruting to get E6 but was shipped off to Special Duty at Public Affairs at the Philadelphia Navy Yard. I guy from my hometown was also a System Programmer, got out and got job making $33,000.00 a year. As soon as my enlistment was up, I got out and got job with Rick!!! $33K in 1987 was serious loot!!
Speaking of Rick, I have to spoken to him in years, but he was System Programmer at the harley-Davision plant on Rt 30 in York, PA.

I have family in virtually all branches of the service and its fun to sit around a camp fire with them (having a few beers, of course) and listen to some of their stories. Its amazing the things that they have seen and experienced.
My favorite story is the one my grandfather tells about watching the guys raise the flag on Iwo Jima. He as down a little ways on the hillside when it happened and says that it was a pretty powerful experience. He was in the Marines. In fact, they invited him back to Iwo Jima not to long ago to reunite with other Marines that fought there. I don't think there were many of them still alive. To this day he doesn't want to go on a cruise because he says that he has "spent enough time on the damn ocean."

Sgt Reyna reporting! 11c infantry mortar. Hell yeah fu** a tent. I hate camping. I'll be in the van if you need me.
I learned how to wait for hours and not complain.
I can sweep my broom off.
I can play spades and dominoes like a champ.
I tell my kids "come here YOU! "
I can shoot the wings off a fly! (maybe a little exaggerated)
Been out for almost 8 years and I still can't sleep in unless I go to bed stupid late. (like if I want to wake up at noon I have to go to bed @ 8am or later)
If someone says "get down" loud enough I can hear it I hit the dirt.
It's true, but I joke for the benefit of anyone that has been a grunt.
I grew up in Arizona but the Army raised me. I wouldn't be the member of society I am today if not for the military.
Thank you for the blanket of freedom you provide!

These kind of tragedies should remind us of more important things in life. We shouldn't dwell on the past, but it puts things in perspective. Not getting the latest update from Google is a small thing compared to major world events. I would like to thank all those who serve our country and keep us safe. 9/11 was the worst day for our country that has happened in my lifetime.

America will never forget and neither will i. To all my brothers and sisters in arms come home safe. To americans everywhere support our troops and troopettes regardless if you agree with the war or not. Remember thats someones daughter,son,sister,brother,grandchild. 9/11/01 i will always remember.

Ive been a Paramedic doing 911 for 15 years....Ive lost friends on the job in fires or some other accident....you never know what that day will bring because someone decides to to some random act of violence or what not. Heart goes out to the victims of 9/11
I remember I was in my college dorm watching it on the tv. That was a crazy day. The campus was shut down. We couldn't believe it. All the higher security after. And this was in Louisiana.....It kinda started me towards being a firefighter.

God bless America. Also everyone should know yesterday a cop officer Patrick O'Rourke was murdered by some embezzling douche that didn't want to go to jail in my home town West Bloomfield MI.

I used to work in the WTC, and across the street at the WFC. Watched the towers go up when I was a kid. As a First Responder worked the '93 bombing.

To the ones that lost, the ones affected and to all... God bless YOU, and this glorious country.
To my brothers and sisters of all branches of the military, first responders, law enforcement and all aid agencies : keep the outstanding work and thank you for rising up when you are called.

On September 11, 2001 I was in the Pentagon, around the corner and down the hall from the point of impact. I had just helped a lady find an office in that section, and she was killed there less than 10 minutes later.
I can't begin to talk about the rest of that week, but I had to burn my uniform and boots after because they were contaminated.
I am still in the Pentagon, although I am now a civilian. I still have a graphic with photographs of the people who died here that day (minus the terrorists) in my office. I look at that graphic every day.
I will never forget.

I work with his brother in law and know his wife. It's really messed up all of the senseless acts that leave children without parents and parents without children. He left behind four young kids and a wife.

I was still in High School in NYC and remember that it was a nice day just like today. The school managed to keep it contained until late in the day, at which point it was a devastating shock. Thoughts and prayers to those who lost loved ones that tragic day.

I was in second grade when it happened. My teacher played the news for our class and I was so traumatized by the event that I went to therapy for a bit as a kid. Never forget.

I was a freshman in hs. In the shower at the time when first plane hit. My dad came pounding on the door "we've been attacked!" Was late goin to school cause I was glued to tv. In every class the news was on, no one did anything that day. No one even went out of their rooms for break or lunch. We all stayed in watching the events fold. And to this day I especially acknowledge every one in the military as I work a lot in different bases as a civilian contractor. It's especially hard at places like the navy medical center in san Diego. The ones in wheel chairs with half their bodies missing from ied's. I make it a point to stop and thank them for their service. Everyone in our office now does it every time no matter where we work. And I want to say thank you for your courage and honor you bestowed to this country on Sept 11th and on to anyone here that I can't personally shake hands with.

It's 130pm. Tomorrow I go in for a septoplasty and a bi-lateral turbinate reduction, so I'M GONNA DRINK A BEER! I've got an Abita Mardi Gras Bock. What's everyone else drinking these days?
Edit: Removed the words "in the afternoon" cause I said "130pm", as if it could be the afternoon at 130am..
Abita is good stuff. My girlfriend's mother lives in Abita Springs. Their tour is awesome...free and as much as you can drink in 30 minutes...
Yes it is. I get Purple Haze all the time.

Ha, so many underage ones here.
Guinness and Bailey's if I'm going to pick anything. I have had about a dozen alcoholic drinks ever; probably going to stay at that number too, don't care for alcohol in general.
Leinenkugel Pumpkin Ale. Never been a big fan of Leinenkugels that much but this stuff isn't half bad..just make sure to do the recommended swirl of the bottle before emptying it out in a glass to get all the spices in there.
Always been a fan of Abita, though I never tried the Mardi Gras type..it is pretty damn hard to find Abita here in MI..but we do have a lot of awesome microbrews of our own up here.
CORRECTION: That would be Shock Top Pumpkin Ale..not Leinenkugel

I've never had this (the Mardi-Gras Bock) before yesterday when I bought it. I live in a very famously Irish neighborhood with nothing but bars and pizza shops on almost every block. There's a spot around the corner from here called Brilbeck's. They've got everything.. Just about.

Nice. I believe I have heard of it before, just never had it. Initially I thought the "g" at the end of pumking was a typo on your end until I saw that is actually what it is called. Seems like it has some pretty stellar reviews on beeradvocate, etc.
I am going to have to go on a hunt for that now.
p.s. this past summer in Europe I had a "Westvleteren 12" ...considered by some to be the best beer in the world..though I realize that's a trivial thing to say. I must say though..if you like Belgian trappist beers, it is pretty damn awesome, and wasn't even half expensive considering what we pay for lesser microbrews here in the States.
