В японской письменности сокуон (促音) — специальный символ слоговой азбуки кана, являющийся уменьшенной записью символа «цу». В хирагане используется сокуон っ (от つ), в катакане — ッ (от ツ).

При транслитерации на русский язык сокуон удваивает согласную в следующей после него море. При этом добавляемый согласный считается отдельной морой (так как число мор в слове равно числу знаков хираганы, с помощью которых оно записывается).

 もと: мо-то, 2 моры;
 もっと: мо-т-то, 3 моры.

В японских словах сокуон встречается перед согласными [п], [т], [к] и [с]; в заимствованиях из иностранных языков и междометиях может встречаться перед любыми другими согласными.

Сокуон также применяется для записи гортанной смычки (глухой гортанный взрывной согласный звук, получаемый смыканием голосовых связок, которые затем под напором воздуха резко размыкаются со взрывным звуком; пример в русском языке — «не-а»):
 あっ!: Ах!, возглас удивления.

Canada nationals: Junior Hydrometric Technician (Developmental Program)
Canada National Hydrological Services
Various, , CA
The Job:
The success of the Water Survey of Canada has always been dependent on its technical work force of over 200 hydrometric technologists. The hydrometric technologist uses state-of-the-art monitoring equipment and methods to collect and process hydrometric data. At each station, water level data are recorded continuously in digital form using an automated electronic recorder, or "data logger". The technologist visits the station several times a year to perform maintenance and to take measurements of water depth and velocity, which are required to determine the rate of flow, or discharge, of the river. The technologist takes these measurements from a bridge, by wading in a stream, by boat, or using a cableway and cable car suspended across a river. Technologists should be comfortable working in and around fast moving water, working in adverse weather conditions in both winter and summer and moving equipment such as small outboard engines and boats over uneven terrain.
Once a relationship between water level and flow (discharge) has been established, flow data are routinely estimated from the recorded water level data. In the office, the technologist reviews and finalizes the data under a rigorous quality management process. The data are stored in the national database and disseminated to users via the web.
There are approximately 2500 active hydrometric stations, all recording data on site. Nearly two thousands of these stations transmit data to users, via the web, in near real time, using either satellite or telephone communications systems.
The Water Survey of Canada (WSC), part of the Meteorological Service of Canada, is the national agency responsible for the collection, interpretation and dissemination of standardized water resource data and information in Canada. The WSC can trace its beginnings to 1908 when Canada initiated a formal approach to determine the extent of the nation's water resources. As an emerging nation, Canada recognized the need for comprehensive water resource information to define reliable supplies of good quality water, to determine hydro power potential, to assess irrigation potential and to protect Canada's sovereignty over its water resources. All major water supply systems, hydro electrical generation facilities and irrigation projects in Canada have been designed, built and operated using the data products and services of the Water Survey of Canada. Today, the Water Survey of Canada continues as the lead agency for collecting and disseminating relevant and reliable water resource information in Canada. The WSC continues to play a major role in the activities of numerous international and interprovincial boards and commissions involved in the management of Canada's water resources. It is the designated agency responsible for water resource monitoring in support of inter-jurisdictional agreements and treaties. The WSC's reputation for excellence is recognized internationally, and our agency continues to set the standard for environmental monitoring.
The Water Survey of Canada has built its reputation through a cooperative approach with all levels of governments and business sectors. Earlier ad-hoc arrangements with the provinces were replaced in 1975 with comprehensive and national partnership agreements. These agreements continue to this day and underpin the National Hydrometric Program (NHP).

The boiler could not be in operation thanks to low pressure, as a result, it could well be evidence of something more serious like a leak in the system.
To alter the stream of the water just simply turn the knob to change the pressure inside the hose.
If the pressure inside the pipes is too low the water's stream may be too insufficient to use it. If you are not happy about the low pressure of the water in your washbasin or shower, a certified plumbing professional can easily patch up it.

A mole (nevus) is a pigmented (colored) spot on the outer layer of the skin (epidermis). Moles can be round, oval, flat, or raised. They can occur singly or in clusters on any part of the body. Most moles are brown, but colors can range from pinkish flesh tones to yellow, dark blue, or black.
Most moles are benign (not cancerous), but atypical moles (dysplastic nevi) may develop into malignant melanoma, a potentially fatal form of skin cancer. Atypical moles are usually hereditary. Most are bigger than a pencil eraser, and the shape and pigmentation are irregular.
The cause of moles is unknown, although atypical moles seem to run in families and result from exposure to sunlight. A mole should be evaluated by a dermatologist.

A new blog series. What's It Like?
I had an idea to start a blog series for moms who are on one side of that proverbial hill of childbirth and parenting and wondering what it is like on the other side. The "What's It Like?" series will address specific topics with anecdotes from other moms who have experienced it. You will get an array of honest yet unscensationalized answers so you will hopefully feel better informed. Keep an eye out each month for a new topic. Suggest one too!


We have been waiting on surgery to be organised for my child for approx 4 months as gastro and ENT (ear, nose, throat) were doing a procedure at the same time. ENT booked it in and sent paperwork out, but we were told surgery should wait as the immunology proved my child is allergic to tape. This recommendation was ignored and when we attended pre op I asked if it was 2 procedures or 1 and was told they had managed to get the 2nd booked. I wasn't provided the name of the procedures or given paperwork and the nurse said it would be waiting on the day as I have to sign permission. The letter said we would receive a pre op anaesthetic phone call and it never arrived. Our paperwork said admission was between 11 and 11: 30 and I was told we would be in at 1pm. My husband took the day off work to be with me and we arrived at 11am. The nurse laughed and said you're early and I said no we're in at 1. She said we weren't due to arrive until 12:45 and the op was 3: 45. I was upset and annoyed as that changes pre op fasting and the care of my other kids. No apologies were made just that we should have received a call that the time was changed. It has knock on effects for how late we were at the hospital and how long our child would stay in post op etc., etc. This isn't a changed appointment this is surgery on a high risk patient.
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. I am very sorry to read of your experience, and the serious issues you have raised, particularly in relation to your child's tape allergy, and also in regard to poor communication between departments and between PCH and yourself. We understand families need to make arrangements to attend appointments and every effort is made to work collaboratively with patients and their families to provide the best possible outcomes for patients. I apologise this was not your experience.
At PCH, patient allergies are treated extremely seriously so it is very disappointing and alarming that your child was treated with tape despite this being a noted allergy. It is important that our team can look into this matter further, to review our processes and make any changes as necessary to make improvements to our services. However, without details such as your child's name and date of birth, we are unable to do this. I encourage you to contact the Child and Family Engagement Service (CaFES) so we can formally investigate your experience. Our CaFES Client Liaison Officers are available on (08) 6456 0032 or via CAHSfeedback@health.wa.gov.au. You can also speak to a Customer Liaison Officer in person at PCH by visiting the Family Resource Centre on the ground floor near the northern entrance.
Thank you again for bringing this matter to our attention. Please accept my sincere best wishes for your child.
Have you experienced something like LsMum did, here or elsewhere?


I've noticed on Windows Server 2016 with WSUS Server Role installed, that the WSUS console will often go into the "Reset Server Node" screen. I feel that I've noticed this more frequently on WSUS 4.0 which runs on Windows Server 2016 than ever before to be honest. I spent a little time investigating it so I could find a solution. Here's what I found.
I found that initially you would see that IIS was requesting a recycle of the WSUSPOOL due to it reaching it's private bytes memory limit.
IIS then attempted to comply with this request, and the default timeout is set to 90 seconds. For whatever reason however the pool did not properly recycle within that 90 seconds, so it tried again and again with the error message below being logged 3 times in total.
Finally after not being able to restart the WSUSPOOL, IIS simply gives up and leaves it in a stopped state and logs the error below.
Now I do not yet understand why it uses more than the defined limit for Private Memory bytes. It could be that there's a memory leak within WSUS, or it could simply be that the limit defined by the development team is set too low. Below you can see within IIS Manage, under the WSUSPOOL below Application Pools, the setting is set to 1.8GB of RAM. Given my WSUS server has 8GB RAM, I figure we can allocate more to it should it need it.
I've now changed this setting for Private Memory Limit to 6GB and restarted the application pool. Since I've made this change, it seems to have settled down a lot and does not appear to crash as often.
Give it a go yourself and see if you see similar results.
KB4034658 (August Update for Server 2016, and Windows 1607) corrupts the WindowsUpdate-Database which leads to recalculation of the whole database on WSUS. This process uses huge ressources as you mentioned. The same is for a new installation of Server 2016(wsus clients). The client shows(or logs) error 0x8024401c.
After the initial checks (and if wsus didn't crash during that time) the following checks work fine and use much less ressources.
Thanks Simon. I've not heard about that issue. I know I've seen this issue in the past prior to the August updates myself. Appreciate the info!


Over the next several decades, Oliver Goldsmith led the evolution of eyewear from a medical necessity to a fashion accessory. From the mid 20th century eyewear became increasingly important as more and more people chose to wear spectacles, a trend which Oliver Goldsmith actively pursued. in the early 2000's, their 1960's and 1970's styles became fashionable again, driven by the enthusiasm for so-called 'vintage' fashions. The Original and Genuine Oliver Goldsmith Retro Spectacles are re produced from samples that have been archived from the past, so that all the features and finish have been incorporated into the collection that is now being offered in the 21st century. Oliver Goldsmith's reputation for Q E C (quality, excellence and comfort) stands behind every frame.

Julian Clary to release The Bolds to the Rescue in March
The second book in his children's series is coming next month.
Credit: Eddie Botsio
Entertainer Julian Clary will release new book The Bolds to the Rescue on 3rd March 2016 it has been announced.
The book is the follow-up to Julian's debut children's book The Bolds and is published by Andersen Press. Children's illustrator David Roberts, who was nominated for a 2016 Kate Greenaway Medal for his work on The Bolds, will return to bring Julian's new book to life in his distinctive style.
The Bolds are an extraordinary family of hyenas living as humans in an ordinary suburban house in Teddington. The family's kindness to animal waifs and strays has become legendary, and animals are now flocking to their house. There's Roger the sheep, Fifi the poodle who wants to learn some new tricks and Sheila the crocodile who decides to make the Bolds' house her home!
But when the Bolds take in a couple of race horses who are on the run, they worry their animal magnetism is getting to be too much. Have these hyenas bitten off more than they can chew?
Prior to The Bolds, Julian published a memoir and several adult novels. Talking about his new book he says, "I am overwhelmed by the success of The Bolds. Making children laugh is a relatively new thing for me, it's lovely. No child pretends to laugh – it's very genuine. It's obviously a world away from my usual filth but that's liberating. Working with David Roberts has been an utter delight and we've got on like a house on fire. He understands my humour and his drawings have added a whole new dimension to the text."
Julian will promoting the book, along with David, at various book festivals and events throughout the country this year.
Take a look at the cover for The Bolds to the Rescue below:

Glossary - A
Many child welfare terms are subject to interpretation. The Glossary identifies commonly held definitions for terms that can be found on the Child Welfare Information Gateway website or in products and materials developed by external entities (e.g., Federal or State Agencies or other reliable organizations). When noted, Information Gateway is cited as the source. The Glossary also provides common acronyms and includes links to information on major Federal legislation and related child welfare terms. The Glossary will be updated as new terminology emerges in the field, as new legislation is enacted, and as child welfare terms take on new meaning.
For additional information on glossary terms, please see our index Search A-Z.
Search the terms by selecting a letter:

A newborn child who is not medically cleared for hospital discharge and who is unlikely to leave the hospital in the custody of his or her biological parent(s). Abandoned infants can also refer to babies whose parents are unknown and who are left in unsafe places, sometimes with fatal outcomes. Laws to avert these unsafe abandonments are almost exclusively State-specific and provide a defense against a charge of infant abandonment if the child is left with a designated "safe haven" provider, which may include a hospital, police station, fire station, or church. (See Infant Safe Haven Laws.)
Abandoned Infants Assistance Act of 1988 (See Index of Federal Child Welfare Laws.)

Any importers recognize this GT-R?
And if the seller is set on making more than 10 to 15% markup then I would move on. For a $2000 car the markup is much higher because the costs are fixed and you gotta make it worth the effort but once you go past $25k-ish then that markup has gotta come down a lot. 50% on a $30k car costed in country (as an example) is hyway robbery and in this day and age (like Ben said) it is VERY easy to find out what the car sold for at auction. So to add about $5k-$7k on top of that for top tier car is reasonable....but not $10k +.
FVI is great here, Brave Auto and Derek at Pacific Coast in Japan are great as well. I would import, and not go for the best on paper, most of the time they still need the major servicing and repair to common items as a car for $15k less (for a BNR34).

Why don't you come over to MySpace and Twitter my Yahoo untill I Google all over your Facebook.
Honestly that car looks mint.. and since its here and you can check it out in person, i would say that your doing good..
go look at it.. mabe get a compression test.

so... their advertised price is $62k.
from what you said earlier, $40k cdn to buy at auction, another $10-11k to bring here, plus whatever the cost is to meet compliance they are looking at roughly $50k invested on their end? since they are in it for profit, how much room is there within that ~$10-12k difference? half? more?
knowing my luck some rich overseas student with an N plate is going to pay full price with a suitcase full of $$$ and then vinyl wrap it in some hideous color... sigh.
so for $2-3k more i could get this?
but honestly i am not really looking at a heavily modded one. i just don't know what kind of trouble i could be getting myself into, both mechanically and the number of points i might earn on my DL.

My car was one of the cheapest bought, most heavily modified and RELIABLE GTRs on here....you just never know.
i have been slowly trying to catch up on all the posts here on this board... should i be paying more attention to the complaince issues being faced in making r34's legal?
Yep or you could just buy something straight from japan yourself and save the markup on either of those cars.
either this just emphasizes how overpriced an r34 gtr is, or the 2009 is very underpriced?
People that want the New GTR dont want R34's, i dont believe you cant even compare to the 2.
Well IMO you cant, the R34 costs so much because of limited production. which has created supply and demand situation, which is why it costs so much.
so it is like comparing a porsche 993 to a 996...yeah i think i get it.
that was my mistake.. i edited my post right after that.. i thought it was someone else selling it.
is this the GTR you were thinking about?
i completely missed this ad.

That R35 is actually a little overpriced in my opinion. Ive seen similar ones going for low 60's.
If you decide to go with an R34, dont be afraid to go check it out, inspect in person and ask for any supporting documentation. I mean, youre the one spending the money on the car, you should be able to be reassured that your money is being well spent !

Of all the ways I begin to could tell you about our Big News, I've decided to put it this way: A few days ago, I sent out a birth announcement -- to the donor of my fourteen-year old son.
Yes, folks, we have a match! My son was conceived with California Cryobank Donor #462 on July 6, 1990, which incidentally, coincidentally, or maybe cosmically was the anniversary of my father's death. A perfect day, out of a possible 365 and three years of infertility struggles, to make one a believer in the Circle of Life.
A major milestone on that circle was reached last week when I became 99% sure I had identified my son's donor. On July 27, I had a match between one lead from his profile and his date of birth, which also was a part of his profile. Then, on August 1, I became 99.9% sure I had the right identity for CCB #462. I had a match between a second lead from his profile and his DOB, three cross-referencing pieces of information. Until that point, I hadn't even positively planned to make contact. My goal all along had been merely to identify and locate. But Step #3 - Contact - became just too alluring.
I had a list of cities representing former and current addresses. The problem was that there were lists for two people with the donor's exact first and last names and middle initial. I didn't yet have a middle name on him. I couldn't readily correlate either list with his DOB, nor come up with his current address or phone number without getting a little help. I had several companies which looked like they would have the information I sought, but it was tough to decide which would be the most reliable for the lowest price. I picked the one that had its phone number listed on its webpage, a live person answered without a hold, and he was so kind as to verify that one of the lists did correlate with the donor's DOB before he even put through my credit card number. Within hours, I was e-mailed the addresses on eleven cities associated with the donor. Some had phone numbers; others did not. I called the one with a phone number that seemed most recent, and voila, I reached his older half-sister.
The donor had lived at her address for a short while but no longer was living there. The sister verified I did already have his correct address, but his phone number was unlisted and she didn't want to provide it to me without his permission. She tried to reach him but got his answering machine. This woman shared a lot about the donor and the rest of their family, but she also had some reservations about whether the donor would be wanting contact. I had reservations about unintentionally having involved an intermediary. By the end of the evening, at twenty minutes to midnight, Sister called me back to let me know she'd reached her brother and that he said he was going to call me the following day.
I had to wait awhile longer but it seemed quite disproportionately large compared to my wait of the prior fifteen years. Mr. 462 didn't even wait until the end of his workday to call. At 1:04 the next afternoon, the phone rang and I recognized the area code. He was at work, but wanted to make arrangements to call back that evening when he had more time. That evening, he kept his promise and we spoke further. And, then... my son got to speak to his biodad for the very first time in his more than fourteen years of life.
All has gone extremely well since, with an initial flurry of phone calls, e-mails and snail mail. We plan to do a DNA test to confirm paternity and there is a plan in motion for the donor to meet my son in person within the month, not necessarily in that order!
I wanted to be the first to share my Success Story on DSR.com. Additional details are forthcoming. For now, CCB #462 prefers that I not reveal specific identity, location and contacting information. However, any one connected with this donor -- my son and I most definitely would love to hear from you! The donor has a daughter from a non-donor relationship, but my son would love to be in contact with what we suspect are minimally a handful of donor-half-siblings. And, if you wish to have me forward information from you to the donor, I promise I will do so.
Although our match wasn't made directly via DSR.com or the DSR Yahoo Group, I credit both and especially Wendy for being the catalyst that got me moving back in June, finally, on a more serious quest to identify and locate the donor. It was one of her posts specifically that did this. Thanks again Wendy. Thank-you, thank-you, thank-you!
To all of you out there still hoping and praying for a match.....
Please stick with this group, and similar ones. Were it not for DSR, my son and I wouldn't be where we are. Just as my quest to have a biological child (I've had more than thirty foster kids through the years) wasn't wrapped up all neat and tidy, neither was DSR's role in my quest. I think the fact that without DSR, I wouldn't have made the match at this time is very relevant. Life is messy, and the way DSR helped might not be as readily understood as a direct match but that makes it no less valid nor valuable.
DSR may not have made the match, but it most definitely paved the road to get me there. Quite possibly, but very eventually, I finally would have taken that road without the DSR, but I chose to make that critical turn around the corner where I found myself stuck because of DSR. I give DSR a huge amount of well-deserved credit for that. My search's successful conclusion was the result of a joint effort, so to speak, between the information provided by DSR and my own actions, driven by my motivation and the experience and expertise I fortunately have as a result of my background as a PI and person who always has hated secrecy and cover-ups, and, now, anonymous donorships of something so monumental as an entire half of a person's identity.
I will be sharing more about my son's story and DSR's role. In the meantime, once again, please contact me via the Yahoo group or privately if you are in any way connected with CCB Donor #462. I'm also available if you need some support, encouragement, inspiration or information about how to proceed in your own situation.
With special love in my heart... ... for all who yearn for the truth, ... for those who have blessed us with our children, ... and for my late boyfriend of twenty-three years, Don, with whom I could not conceive.
Tevyn and I were blessed to have had Don in our lives until Tevyn was nearly twelve. He always will be in our hearts.
Joule Momma to Tevyn, DOB 03/31/91, whose Donor, CCB #462, has been found!!


Cooler temperatures have helped to bring Yakima River flow levels back up resulting in more water available to the Kennewick Irrigation District. Water levels will continue to fluctuate throughout the water season and when additional water supplies become available, Kennewick Irrigation District will deliver this water to its customers.
Effective immediately, K.I.D. customers may return to watering up to 30 minutes per zone according to their assigned days and times.
The District will be contacting Water Masters directly regarding agricultural and large parcel lots over 3 acres.
High efficiency devices: micro-spray, soaker hoses, and drip lines, as well as hand watering will continued to be allowed for the watering of trees, shrubs, perennials, and gardens.
These watering guidelines will remain in effect until further notice.
