Cat food is food for consumption by cats Cats have specifications for their particular dietary nutrients. You must preserve your cat away from all the above ingredients because they are either high-glycemic (spikes your cat's sugar levels) or filled with gluten or chemicals that induce countless consequences. In order to uncover the best cat food, we knew we needed to analyze the ingredients of every single single formula. We spent 300 hours researching the cat food market and digging deep into the science of what cats need to have for their optimal diet. Seek the advice of your Vet: Your veterinarian can inform you which minerals you need to stay away from for your cat. Homemade foods may not be excellent, although, if the owner does not take unique precautions about food security.
A bag of dry meals can feed a cat for a month, and it typically charges about half as significantly as a wet diet. Back in 2012, there was a key recall connected with Diamond Pet Foods that impacted several of its smaller sized labels. Though there have been similarities between dog and cat foods, we discovered that cats have far more complicated dietary wants. But believe of it this way: The average domestic cat lives to be 12-15 years old (in human years).
Cat food conversations are littered with passionate opinions regarding whether or not or not cats must consume like they do in the wild or if they should avoid carbs, if they ought to consume dry food for better dental wellness or if they ought to eat wet meals for far better hydration, and the like. This might imply that some brands with good quality ingredients and sound manufacturing have been reduce at this stage, but we feel a lot more comfy erring on the side of caution. Mix that with healthier probiotics and a disdain of all hormones and you have got a excellent wet cat food.
For example, cats are prone to kidney stones and other renal overall health problems, as nicely as unpleasant side effects like hairballs, and the right cat food can aid cut down on some of these troubles. Now if you want to push away any remaining worries and get a collection of thouroughly verified and effectively compiled homemade cat food recipes , there is someone I can point you to that has some thing amazing to provide you. With pages of notes from our study, input from sector specialists, and a enormous spreadsheet with hundreds of cat food formulas, we had been ready to commence identifying and removing subpar products. They even supply portion guides due to the fact of their claim that 1 portion of ZiwiPeak air dried cat food is equivalent to three whole portions of raw meat.
These merchandise excel in their ability to provide the utmost high quality ingredients for your pet and sometimes they are no more pricey than many retail premium brands. If your option of cat food has any of these meats as the initial ingredient along with a proper balance of secondary things, you'll have chosen properly. General, any of the above selections would furnish your cat with optimum dry cat food nutrition. We're sure that the above considerations will help you when attempting to find what's very best for your cat. Blended diet program: A diet program of each wet and dry meals could be the most price-efficient alternative, so check to see if a brand delivers both choices.

Marvelous SAFF Weekend
SAFF Riches!
What a wonderful weekend we had to travel down to Asheville for SAFF. Chris Morgan of Woolybuns came in Friday evening bringing a handsome senior buck. Very senior; he's five but looks to be in excellent health and condition. Given the longevity issues I've heard about and seen with Germans, I'm glad to see a fellow this old still going strong. When the sun comes out I'm going to try him with a couple of does, just in case he has a rough time with the winter. I plan to seriously coddle him, though!
After a nice dinner at the local nice restaurant, Chris and I sat up awhile and caught up with bunny news, family news and shared interests. Then we were up early, for more talking and then packing up to head south for our fibery adventure. The day was bright, clear and cool, totally different from the forecasted rain. We had a lovely trip that flew by in such good company, and when we reached the festival we were ready to shop until the billfolds were crying for mercy. Our first visit was to Mary Ellen of ISeeSpots Farm. She always has a great selection and since she's a former bunny lady that was wonderfully helpful to me when I was starting out, it's always a pleasure to visit with her. She is always very busy in her booth; she does a super job with selecting good merchandise. I replaced my broken ball winder, the third since I started with fiber. I also bought a Brittany crochet hook and a nice box of crochet patterns for scarves and hats. It's always nice to learn some new techniques and ideas, and my crochet skills are a bit dated, I think.
Walking around the vendors once again reminded me how many wonderfully talented people there are in the fiber world. Felting seemed to be big this year, with lovely scarves, hats, vests and other items done in many beautiful techniques. Chris is a big felter; I'm not so keen. Although after seeing such marvelous work I'm tempted to join in!
I think our next buying stop was at Rising Meadow Farm. I had two goals when I went down to SAFF. I needed to replace the ball winder and I wanted a light gray fleece to blend with my black angora for a mill-spun yarn. Last year Chris and I split a wonderful moorit fleece from this vendor and I was happy to see a lovely gray Corriedale fleece that looked exactly like it would suit my purposes. So Marian's fleece came home with me, seven pounds of lovely gray wool. I've already washed a little and handcarded it with my angora; have to spin it up to see how I like the color. It looks great so far.
I don't remember the vendor where I picked up the two prettiest dyed silk caps I've seen in awhile. But I do remember the amazing display of gorgeous yarns at Brooks Farm. Every color and combination was absolutely beautiful in a selection to delight the eye and charm the hand with wonderful softness. I had to buy three skeins, although I knew that I did NOT need more yarn.
My First Knitting
In the meantime, of course, Chris had been shopping as well, and just as hard right beside me. We made several trips to the car and finally stopped for lunch. Then Chris decided to fulfill my long-expressed wish and teach me to knit. And SHE DID IT. Before half an hour went by I was actually making stitches with the lovely Brooks Farm yarn that looked like knitting. Chris is an excellent teacher; she can get right to the point you need to know and makes everything so clear. I tried knitting along off and on all weekend, going astray several times. But Chris patiently corrected my messes and got me back on track with a minimum of frustration. On my side, at least! We went back down to show the Brooks Farm vendor my accomplishment; she really seemed thrilled for me!
Believe it or not, I think that was everything I bought the first day. It only took a couple of hours to strain my pocketbook's resources. And I already have so much stuff in my stash; I was trying to be conservative and only buy what I really needed for the fiber business. But it was tough to by-pass so many tempting goodies as we made our way down to see Elaina of Avillion Farm. It was fun to visit with Elaina and Joy, her friend that shares a booth with her each year at SAFF. They had some beautiful rabbits for sale and other items from the farms. Elaina is a delightfully knowledgable young woman who knows a lot about the medical side of raising rabbits. I learn something from her each time we visit. While we were chatting Cathy Robinson of Perfect Spot Farm came by and it was terrific to catch up with her news as well. Cathy also raises German Angora along with lovely Jacob sheep. I have a couple of wonderful fleeces from her now and keep thinking about more! Cathy is very busy with family and farm and I don't see nearly as much of her as I would like.
We made arrangements to meet Elaina and Joy for dinner and kept wandering through the festival, looking at all the wonderful merchandise and encouraging each other not to buy too much. The hours flew by and things started winding down at the end, but we made one more stop at the booth of a young couple that we had met the year before. They make and sell wonderful crochet hooks. I had purchased one last year and have enjoyed it thoroughly. Keep watching my sidebar; when their site is finally up there will be a link to Hooked on Needles. They had wonderful knitting needles, too. I'm eyeing them in case my knitting skills ever warrant good tools!
We stopped in at the Felters' Guild meeting, to be impressed with more wonderful creativity and skill. There were glorious felted dolls, scarves, an amazing leather bag that was somehow felted, and many more beautiful pieces. Chris had to try to get us in trouble playing with some charming little felted bowls, making alternate suggestions for their use that might have suited Madonna. Or Wonder Woman!
Knitting at Day's Inn
We had a wonderful dinner with Elaina and Joy, catching up on bunny news, discussing bunny issues and personalities and just enjoying good company. After a full day of festival, though, we all were soon ready to retreat to warm motel rooms to relax. Elaina wanted to try out her new electric spinner and Chris and I were ready to do some knitting. I started a shawl under Chris's tutelage and she started working on one of her own. At least, that was the plan. A snarled skein of yarn soon changed the situation.
Sunday morning dawned bright and clear and we headed back to SAFF, mainly with the intention of purchasing a swift for Chris. The first person we saw when we came in that we knew was Connie Delameter of Delly's Delight Farm. She's another bunny lady, of course, and it was wonderful to see her and share some stories. She had to dash but we caught up with her in her booth a little later. I had to have some gorgeous painted mohair roving in green and crimson from her. I swear that was my last purchase! One of my best bucks is Connie's breeding, and a lot of my good stock comes from her lines. It's always a treat to be able to visit with her. She's always very busy, too; someday we'll just have to all get together somehow so we can really talk!
Home again under sunny skies; a nice trip that seemed short with all the ideas our heads were filled with and all the lovely fiber to look forward to playing with. We got back early enough to tend to the rabbits and visit Sue in the craft tent to see how her day went. My mom and Wendell were visiting as well so we had a nice time catching up on things and Chris was able to meet the family. Sue had some beautiful new gourd pieces to admire. While we were there an old friend came by and ordered a shawl from me.
I thought Chris needed to experience Pancake Days, so we headed down to the community building for dinner. The line was short and it wasn't long before we were served with buttermilk pancakes, sausage and gravy. (I can't do the gravy but I wish I could!) Lots of old friends were there working or eating, so I was able to introduce Chris to a couple of people. Hopefully she will be back to do a felting workshop; the community building would be great if we can't get something put together at the farm before then.
A Real Silk Cap
Late evening we settled in to knit; with me making more mistakes than correct stitches. So I switched over to crochet, figuring that I was tired and needed a break. Or it may be that I'm just an idiot at knitting. We were getting tired and a little silly; Chris put one of my silk caps on her head. You can see her pretty knitting on her lap; mine wound up frogged back almost to the beginning!
Chris left this morning under cloudy skies ahead of the possibility of rain from the hurricane. She was nice enough to offer to take a bunny back to a buyer in New York, so a German doe is along for the ride. It seems lonesome here right now; Chris is great company and we have such a good time.
Lily in her Space
Lily was so glad to see me when I went to the kennel this morning. She had to rush into the house to make sure everything was OK when we got home. Very important to make sure all the toys were there and no one had played with them!

We're sure you can't have missed that this week was the anniversary of 9/11. Certainly my social media feeds were full of people paying tribute to all the servicemen and law enforcement (human and canine!) who had willingly sacrificed their wellbeing, and even lives, to try and save others.
Whilst it is always sad to remember, it is also a beautiful thing to pay respect and honour, and here at Simon O'Rourke Tree Carving, we were honoured to pay tribute ourselves last weekend to another group of servicemen.
For readers outside the UK who may not have had the same media exposure, September 1918 marked the beginning of the end of the First World War, culminating in the Armistice two months later. In this centenary year, we have already had many events, appeals, fly bys and exhibitions happening all around the country to honour the men and women who have selflessly served our nation, and this event we were just at was just one fantastic example.
The Earl and Countess of Carnarvon of Highclere Castle (many of you will recognise it as 'Downton Abbey'), chose to open their grounds for "Heroes at Highclere": a charity weekend, honouring those who have served and fundraising for charities related to our armed forces. Part of this weekend was the unveiling of an airman sculpture Simon was commissioned to create for this event, and we were invited to be there for the event.
It was an honour to be there in person at Highclere during the event, and as well as getting to unveil the sculpture, we were also able to take time to enjoy the exhibitions, planes, food, good weather and wonderful atmosphere as well as meet and talk with the families of those brave soldiers who lost their lives when their planes came down on and around the Highclere estate during World War 2. What a privilege too, to have been the one commissioned to create this piece honouring so many brave men and women who served during the world wars and in those 100 years that have followed – even more so, that it is housed in such a beautiful and iconic setting as the Highclere Estate!!
As well as the airman sculpture, Daniel, our carpenter and workshop manager, did a beautiful job of creating 3 benches based on the tail plane of a P38 aircraft; one of the types of aircraft that crash landed on the Highclere estate during World War two.
He thoughtfully designed the benches in a way that he could incorporate some pieces of shrapnel from the plane by using clear acrylic tubing for the legs, but sadly there was not any suitable shrapnel from this plane available at the time and so he used small pieces of shrapnel from the B17 aircraft that had also crashed there instead.
This actually ended up being the perfect combination as not only did it include more of the planes that had crashed on the estate in the design, but, on the day of the remembrance service and sculpture unveiling we actually met the family of the pilot of the B17 who had sadly died in the crash. We were so humbled and honoured to meet them and they absolutely loved the benches.
As well as the joy of seeing the completed pieces in their new home, and the fun of being able to take part in the heroes weekend, participating in this way also leaves us humbled and thankful for the men, women and animals in our armed forces and law enforcement. We hope that others who visit the castle and see our Airman and benches, will not only enjoy the artistry, but also take a moment to pause and reflect on their significance…
For those who would like to see the airman in situ, he will be on the lawns overlooking 'Heaven's Gate' at the back of Highclere Castle for the foreseeable future. (Admission charges apply, please see the Highclere website for details)

Will broadband be East Africa's 21st century railway to the world?

I have published a short piece The Conversation that summarises some work that I carried out with two colleagues (Casper Andersen and Laura Mann) on visions of connectivity in East Africa, and why they matter. The article follows how the arrival of railways and broadband were framed by powerful figures, and shows how those narratives have supported the colonial and neoliberal projects. You can access the piece here. Or check out the longer article that it comes from:
Graham, M., Andersen, C., and Mann, L. 2015. Geographies of Connectivity in East Africa: Trains, Telecommunications, and Technological Teleologies. Transactions of the Institute of British Geographers (forthcoming).

Carotid Artery Vs. Jugular Vein
The carotid artery and the jugular vein are both important blood vessels in the circulatory system. Although they are commonly confused in popular literature and in the media, the two have very different locations and functions. Because of their different functions, they also differ structurally, with each displaying characteristics indicative of its role in the circulatory system.
If you are experiencing serious medical symptoms, seek emergency treatment immediately.
Arteries are the circulatory system blood vessels responsible for carrying newly oxygenated blood from the heart throughout the rest of the body. This is the blood that has been returned to the heart from the body, pumped from the heart to the lungs, then returned to the heart in preparation to be pumped to the rest of the body. Since the pressure of the blood in arteries is much higher than that in the veins, arteries have more muscular walls than veins.
Veins are the circulatory system blood vessels that return blood from the body to the heart. This is blood that has been deoxygenated and will be pumped through the heart to the lungs. In the lungs, it is then oxygenated and pumped back throughout the body to replenish cells and tissues with the oxygen needed for metabolic functions. One of the main differences between veins and arteries is that veins have valves that keep blood that is moving upward from the lower limbs to the heart from flowing backwards. Another difference between veins and arteries is the dark-blue appearance of veins.
Carotid Artery
The carotid artery is the large artery that delivers newly oxygenated blood from the heart to the head and neck. There are actually two branches of the carotid artery--a left and a right half, both of which branch directly off of the aorta, the artery that delivers blood directly out of the heart.
Jugular Vein
The jugular vein can be divided into two sets of veins--the internal and external jugular veins. Both are responsible for transferring deoxygenated blood from the head back towards the heart. The blood from the jugular veins drain into the superior vena cava which transports all the deoxygenated blood from the upper portion of the body to the right atrium of the heart. From there, it will be pumped to the lungs, then back out to the body.
In a number of movies and television shows, the jugular vein is what is thought to be severed when someone's throat is cut in a murder or scene of violence. Since the vein is actually farther back in the throat region than the carotid artery and the jugular vein contains blood under much less pressure than that of the carotid artery, it would be more accurate to say the carotid artery was the blood vessel damaged in these scenes. Blood would spray out of the carotid artery, but not the jugular vein.

Lamar Odom Is 'Fighting For His Life' After Found Unconscious in Nevada Brothel
Lamar Odom is fighting for his life after being found unconscious at Dennis Hof's Love Ranch South in Pahrump, Nevada via a report from TMZ.
An official statement from Nye County Sheriff's department said that Odom was transported by ambulance to a hospital after he couldn't be airlifted by helicopter due to his height.
At approximately 3:15 pm on October 13, 2015, a call came into the Nye County Dispatch Center from Richard Hunter, Media Director for Dennis Hof's Bunny Ranch, requesting an ambulance for an unresponsive male experiencing a medical emergency at the Love Ranch in Crystal, Nevada, approximately twenty miles north of Pahrump, Nevada in Nye County.
An ambulance from Pahrump Valley Fire and Rescue Service arrived at 3:34 pm and the patient, identified as Lamar Odom was stabilized and transported to Desert View Hospital arriving at 4:16 pm.
Nye County Sheriff's Office Detectives Cory Fowles and Michael Eisenloffel arrived and conducted an investigation on scene.
After being treated by the physicians, arrangements were made to transport him by Mercy Air helicopter. However, Mr. Odom was unable to be transported by air due to his stature. He was immediately transported by Pahrump Valley Fire and Rescue Ambulance to Sunrise Hospital in Las Vegas, Nevada for further treatment.
Further updates should be directed to Sunrise Hospital or Mr. Odom's staff.
As expected for publicity, Odom's ex-wife Khloe Kardashian and Kim Kardashian are on their way to Las Vegas.

City Council passes historic $75 billion budgetPosted: Updated:
Mayor Bill de Blasio and City Council Speaker Melissa Mark-Viverito are being praised for their efforts in passing a historic budget.
City Council members from the Bronx are calling the funds coming to the borough a great victory. They say that for the first time, they didn't make a list of programs to get rid of, but rather reshifted funds to figure out which programs could be enhanced.
Programs that could see enhancement from the budget include JASA, Bronx Works and cultural institutions like The Bronx Zoo and Wave Hill.
In addition, council members say $68,000 was granted to each district for the NYC Cleanup Program, as well as a budget expansion for all CUNY institutions in the Bronx.
City Council members say they believe the new budget reflects a shift in the direction of the city.
News 12 The Bronx is told that after the allocation of capital and discretionary funds, five out of the eight Bronx districts received an additional $100,000 to go toward anti-poverty initiatives.

Remember the vegan pesto I shared two weeks ago? Today, in my New Veganism column at Food52, I'm celebrating spring flavors by sharing a perfect vegan pizza: arugula and aparagus pesto pizza.
Vegan pizza might sound like a contradiction in terms, since so many of us associate pizza with cheese. But a variety of sauces and toppings can make a pizza that's every bit as delicious as more traditional pie. In this recipe, for example, grassy asparagus meets spicy arugula and the umami and saltiness of pesto.
For more pizza ideas, and to get the recipe, head on over to Food52. Here's to spring!

Batman and Turbo

Under: Cyprus cats
Two little kitties. They were not nice, but they were very cute. A lot of time I asked Turbo: "Is there any way I switch you off?" He used me as a cat tree, he loved to run up and down on me. He loved to see everything what moved, or made noises. But when I took him up, he put his head on my solder and begun to purr. Batman, Turbo's brother was a lot more quiet. He was bigger and stronger, but always Turbo won when they had a fight. He was not a fighter type.
One day they got a flue. I bought them a medicine, so they begun to fill themselves better, I was happy. But...... something came out on Turbo's popo and hang there. Prolapsus ani. The first time I see this. It was 11.04.2011. Next day we took him to the doctor. He put him to sleep, put back this thing and gave a medicine. He gave him for the flue also, and he told to my husband, we saved the eyes of the cat, there is no problem with it anymore.
Turbo wake up from the sleeping, but his eyes were dead. He was not himself. I gave him water, food he did not want. The next day he ate, I was happy. I did not mind if I have to feed him every day, because he did not eat alone, I just hopped it helped him. But on 14.04 late night he got more and more sick, and at night he died. I was with him till the end and I cried above him, I knew I could not help. It was his fight and he lost. :(
Batman was sick also, but he got a mouth infection to the flue. He died yesterday in the afternoon. :(
Now I fill I give up. I have to give up. Again I cry. I miss them, I loved them, I did everything what I could to save them, but I lost. I put food and water with hypo as many time as I could, I hardly sleep, I did not even open the computer to be able to spend much more time with them. I am tired. Very tired. And why? They are gone, I cry.

The intention of Metaxas & Sins is to offer equipment that provides both visual and sound value to space.
The obsession of Kostas throughout his career has always been to offer a way "be there," by providing a quality level that makes the user feel that they are actually attending a live concert. With this objective in mind, Kostas founded his company at the beginning of the 1980s, and it has been committed to the highest electronics and constructive technologies since its inception, in order to offer what he defines as "the best sound equipment that money can buy."
Parallel to his brilliant technical development, Metaxas has been gaining importance in the design industry by producing decorative objects with remarkable personality and disruptive aesthetics. The intention of Metaxas & Sins is to offer equipment that provides both visual and sound value to space.
The Marquis
It is an exquisite preamplifier and amplifier specifically designed for listening to music with headphones. According to Metaxas, its design in the form of a skull is intended to remind us that everyone will die at some point in time, so we must cherish every moment of our lives and always strive for the best experience possible. These small sculptures are handmade by Kostas himself or by one of his sons with dedication and thoroughness that is worthy of admiration.
The Siren
These colorful speaker towers are crafted from a single block of aluminum or titanium using CNC (Computer Numerical Control) technology, which uses a robotic arm to craft the design proposed by the sculptor. Its structure, being one piece only, gives it a rigidity and acoustic fidelity level that is impossible to achieve otherwise. Every one of the areas that contain the ceramic speakers allows for exquisite sound clarity. Its design is not only aesthetic, but state-of-the-art engineering is incorporated as well as the unmistakable vision of Metaxas & Sins. Depending on the material chosen, the price of this sound system varies between US $150,000 and US$300,000. ■

Prologue: The current society is dictated by games
Everyone, have you ever heard of these following words, that are filled with deceit?
'Reality and games are different'
When a young person killed a great number of people.
When a young person committed suicide, in full belief that they could reset their life.
When a young person embraces the heroines that appear in eroges as their ideals, and become unable to accept a relationship with a girl.
With these kinds of cases, this is the complaint that is voiced through the media at those times—
Those self-proclaimed intelligent people with their 'I-know-how-it-is' looks as they appear on TV with their calm way of speaking, blabbering on with baseless arguments, there should have been many people that had gotten doubts over their opinion. Such as questions like 'what do they know about society?', there.
In reality, be it grown-up or child, the amount of knowledge one can carry is limited. Against the accumulated knowledge of kids, a single grown-up has no chance of winning. Hence, if a single informed person says that 'Reality and games are different', then those are nothing more than empty words. In a world view boiling down to 'Reality and games share similarities', brought forth by the unconscious actions of countless children, which one is closer to the human society that we really live in?
Naturally, there's also the opinion that children don't even see reality and games as something similar in the first place, and that theory has quite the credibility to it…but let's leave that aside for now.
—Though, many people do not know of this, as of right now, the hidden side of the world is being controlled by various games.
Nuclear arms, bioweapons, kinetic bombardment armaments—every conceivable weapon brought forth by human hands after the third world war, and the humans in power that swore they would never rely on them ever again, humanity's first and most important secret peace agreement.
The life of an important person. Territorial disputes between nations. Conflicts of interest with money passing the trillions being moved around.
Various essential decisions, all the results of 'Hidden games'.
Yes, reality is undoubtedly a game. Hence, stronger people exist without a doubt.
Like the grandmaster in chess.
Like the ryuuou in shougi.
Like the world of card games has a champion.
The hidden world of games also has a 'strongest'.
In this hidden world, there is not one person that doesn't know of the man that appeared five years ago.
Five years ago, the undefeated man.
With this nonsensical, unrealistic story, everyone would brush him off the first time they meet him. 'There's no way that he'd be like that,' they say, nd once they fought him, they would all cower in fear.
'Why does such a human exist in this world?'
The various legends that he built up around him act as appetizers for the world's business leaders as they sip on their sake.
He defeated the current top-ranking chess player in the second move of the match. If one were to attempt trickery, he'd pay you back with an even crazier fraud. Even if you tried to read his expression, no emotion whatsoever is reflected in his eyes.
His every action is inexplicable and only after the win is already his will you be able to see the methodology he's taken.
The hero that seized the world's AR hegemony of a certain Japanese developer.
The ring leader of global warming.
Women got pregnant just by being looked at by him.
Etc, etc.
—Though the latter half incorporates nothing more than groundless insults, those legends kept cruising throughout the business, it is the most prominent proof that he still has lingering fangs in the underground world.
That existence is the epitome of a poker chip that granted glory and power. Various countries, businesses, existences in the dark, all of them tried to get a grasp on him.
Nations presented him with immense compensations, beautiful women with nothing to complain about, dinners to melt his tongue and much more. Once those temptations found no success with him, they set out to erase his existence, hiring assassins.
This utter balance breaker could bring bankruptcy to the system dictated by games. However, that worry ended up nothing more than needless anxiety. After all, that same individual, one day said…
"I'm retiring."
And brought forth these irresponsible words!
The man, creating miracles and countless threats, suddenly retired from that underground world, as if to mock all their efforts and worries—
His name, Saijou Guren.
What is that boy doing right now? And, where is he headed from now on?
This story begins with the 'Present'.
Now then, just what kind of heated scenery will open up in front of the 'Invincible Legend', after he decided to turn his back on this past, and head towards the 'Future'–?

Send them up to us Phil. Last time we got anything from Edwards it was all female sizes and small.
As I've said before, time to get the OCP ball rolling.Get ahead of this escalating problem BEFORE it becomes a real problem.Dark Blue tapes and insignia will look just fine on OCP... as will black boots.
I've found lately that EBay is a good source for ABUs. Can find used ones for a decent price as well.Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk
Is the ABU supply at Vanguard drying up? Why not just buy from Vanguard?
OCPs are not by any means cheap. It would have cost me about 300 bucks to outfit myself with one set.
We should be wearing whatever the Air Force is wearing ...when they change, we change.
Quote from: abdsp51 on July 13, 2019, 12:56:38 PMOCPs are not by any means cheap. It would have cost me about 300 bucks to outfit myself with one set.$300? I'm assuming that is adding in the boots and getting a bunch of patches sew onto them rather than velcro'd on. I bought two sets (No boots) when the Army started allowing them and both cost me less then $250. And that included all new velcro patches.
No they haven't. Why would they?

2015: Smooth Sailing Ahead for the U.S. Hotel Industry
Reports from a number of well-respected companies that gather and analyze data for the hotel industry all seem to have come to the same conclusion: hotels all across the United States have been doing well in 2014 and they will do even better in 2015. There is unanimous consent in the most recent reports issued by Smith Travel Reports (STR), PricewaterhouseCoopers (PWC) and TravelClick's North American Hospitality Review (NAHR) that RevPAR, Average Daily Rates and Occupancy, will all show improvement in 2015.
According to the latest statistics reported by STR and STR Global, all three of the key data-points that are used to assess hotel performance were up in year-over-year comparisons. The July of 2014 occupancy rate was 73.6%, an increase of 3.9% over the July of 2013 occupancy rate. The ADR in July of 2014 was $117.81, bettering the prior year's ADR by 4.8%. RevPAR showed the biggest year-over-year gains, surging by 8.8% in July of 2014.
PricewaterhouseCoopers concluded in an August 2014 report that U.S. hotel occupancy rates will reach their highest levels in 20 years, during calendar year 2015.They noted that companies are increasing their travel spending budgets which leads to more group reservations. With the supply of hotel rooms remaining almost unchanged, added demand allows hotel managers the flexibility to raise rates without hurting occupancy rates. The PwC report predicts that continued strong group travel, as well as a strong summer travel season, will push hotel occupancy rates up about 2 percentage points, to 64.1% for the year ending December 31, 2014. For 2015, the momentum is expected to continue with occupancy rates rising to a 20-year high of 64.8%. PwC also predicts that RevPAR for 2014 will increase by 7.6% over 2013 RevPAR, and in 2015, RevPAR will be up 6.9% over the 2014 figure.
The August 2014 TravelClick North American Hospitality Review was quite optimistic about the immediate future prospects for the hotel industry. John Hach, Senior Vice President for Global Product Management at TravelClick said "While summer may be coming to an end, the hotel market has a hot outlook for the winter months." Traditionally, summer is always a good time to be in the hotel business as the kids are home from school and families use the time to take vacations. In 2014, business travel has done surprisingly well and is expected to stay strong through 2015. Over the next 12 months (August 2014 through July 2015), committed occupancy is up 3.7% over the same 12-month period a year ago. Committed occupancy includes both group commitments and individual room reservations. The NAHP data also showed that in year-over-year comparisons, bookings for the transient leisure segment are up 4% and bookings for the transient business segment are up is up 5%.
The hotel industry is one of the most economically sensitive sectors of our economy. A strong hotel market is a solid indicator of the strength of the overall economy. When times are good, there is more economic activity and business executives travel for meetings, conferences and trade shows. When people have more money in their pockets, they go on vacations, book more hotel rooms, and inject money into the economy.
There are few industries that rely more on compiling and analyzing data than the hotel industry. RevPAR, occupancy, ADR and other metrics are used to measure a hotel's performance. Once numbers and the latest economic data (GDP, unemployment rates, disposable income etc.) are analyzed, they can be used to guide managers to deploy the best pricing, marketing, and other strategies to maximize a hotel's future revenues.

With about a quarter of households in the UK renting their homes rather than buying them, and few reliable long term rental properties, many people find themselves moving regularly – often annually! This high frequency means it's well worth spending some time getting good at moving house: avoiding the mistakes that can cost you money, time and peace of mind. Alternatively, if you're looking at selling your home, TheAdvisory has a great selection of guides on making sure you get the maximum value for your house.
Getting to Know an Area
Too many people just view a property when they need to move, asking careful questions about the state of the boiler and double glazing, but not considering where the house actually is. You might consider the time it'll take you to commute by checking your route in the abstract, but you'll get much more useful insights by actually spending some time in the area you're thinking about moving to.
You'll find out if the local station or bus stops are unusably busy at the times you want to travel, whether there's a convenient shop nearby for last minute necessities, somewhere to pick up coffee on your way out in the morning. You'll get the feeling for what other people in the area are like, and the atmosphere in the neighbourhood, all things you can't pick up from a single visit brief visit to a flat. If an area has lots of long families and pricey brunch spots, that might suit you perfectly, or it might be your idea of hell. Either way, you won't find out without actually getting your boots on the ground and spending some time there.
Rushing In
You're often looking for a new home while you're under extreme pressure. And if you don't succeed you'll find yourself homeless! This is not a recipe for good decision making. The circumstances put you under pressure to accept any compromise that puts a roof over your head, which means too many people look up after they've moved in and realise they've paid too much to live in a substandard home that's not even where they really want it to be.
Take the pressure off by finding a cheap storage facility. When you know you can keep your possessions safe without breaking the bank, the possibilities suddenly multiply. If you can stay with a friend in a spare room, or on a sofa for a week or a month while the perfect property becomes available the ball is suddenly in your court. Without a ticking clock hanging over you, you have the freedom to make decisions for the long term!

Track Listing
- Devil
- Magic
- Devil (Inst)
- Magic (Inst)
1. Devil
Seems like the group fell back again on technically re-transladed songs from their most recent Korean albums and just threw them as a single. Luckily, I actually dug this a lot more than I did with "MAMACITA (AYAYA)" altogether. I already liked Devil just from hearing it in Korean, but the Japanese version is pretty decent too with all of the smooth vocals coming together (which really is surprising that the group is singing in a more wispy tone). Also I finally noticed Shindong in the song above other guys…wows!
2. Magic
As the leading song from the rereleased Korean album, Magic was a much lighter affair going for the kind of cuter vibe for the guys! I kind of like the jazzy vibes on top of the smoky vocals especially from Yesung and Shindong for sure! It has been a while since the group has tone such a poppy song, but it's definitely welcome!
As the single before the group enters a strange hiatus (due to 5 of the members on military leave: Sungmin (who wasn't involved in the single), Eunhyuk, Donghae, Shindong, and Siwon), I understood the rush of putting this single out before they left, though I'm still a bit disappointed they couldn't muster up an original song for this release. For what we got though was two pretty decent songs from the normal offering sounds from Devil to the more fun vibes of Magic, it's definitely their best single so far in this era.

Confirm the extent and type of land repair works you will be carrying out on your property.
The EQC land settlement pack contains information about the types of land damage your property has and the potential repair methods. For more information refer to the guide in the pack or visit the EQC website(external link).
If you have received your EQC Land Settlement Pack the first step is for you to confirm the extent and type of land repair works you will be carrying out on your property. This includes details such as the location and depth of any fill or excavation, retaining walls, and any other methods that will be used to repair the land.
Whether you can undertake the work yourself or whether you will need to engage a specialist contractor depends on the type of land damage and the repair method required.
If you are unsure what works will be needed to repair your property we recommend that you get in touch with a specialised contractor or consultant who is experienced in repairing the type of damage EQC have identified on your property.
Contractors and consultants can advise you on the method of land repair and carry out the work on your behalf. Some will also be able to obtain resource consent or building consent on your behalf, if consent is needed. We strongly recommend engaging a specialised contractor or consultant if your land is contaminated or potentially contaminated. There are additional legislative requirements for contaminated land which make the resource consent and land repair processes more complex.
The Yellow Pages contains listings for various types of specialist contractors and consultants, including Environmental Consultants, Contractors, and Earthmovers.
If you are managing the land repairs yourself you will need to check if resource consent or building consent is needed, before works commence. You may be able to undertake your property's land repair work without needing to obtain any consents.

After writing a column critical of gay rights in a local publication, an administrator for the University of Toledo was fired. The column was in response to another column written a couple weeks earlier that was pro-gay. In response, the President of the University of Toledo wrote his own column to distance the fired administrator's views from those of the University.
Perhaps the parent being banned from dropping off or pick up his children from school; attending his children's sports events or other school activities; meeting with his children's teachers at parent-teacher conferences; attending or participating in school committee meetings; or even voting on election day at his local polling place, a public school because he criticized and requested his child be removed from the teaching of the gay agenda, is something that will catch our attention. How crazy is it that he wanted to protect his child from what he felt was against his belief system, and this happened. Could you imagine the outcry if the circumstances had been reversed? In this case, specifically: A no-trespass order issued against him by the school – which includes all district property – is "simply an intimidation tactic" against anyone who might protest the school's pro-homosexual policies regarding elementary school children.
On KFMB AM Radio a little over a week ago I heard a story about how a mother is under investigation for a hate crime because her child asked her about homosexuality, she stated being gay is a sin, and then when the child repeated it at school the teacher turned in the parent for a hate crime.
How long before, under the guise of Hate Crime Laws, will it be until the government is knocking down your door to take away your Bible because they consider it to be a hate crime document because it proclaims homosexuality is a sin?

Triple Sprout Spring Rolls and My Favourite Peanut Dipping Sauce
I've lived here in Brisbane for more than 7 years now, but May still feels like spring. The days are shortening, the nights are cooling, and we snuggle up in our un-insulated living room to watch the latest Masterchef series.
We've had the barbeque out for nearly half our dinners lately, and we sit around the glowing embers wondering why we haven't done this more.
The garden is full of new things, sprouting things, ripening things. Greenness everywhere. The sun is warm but somehow less threatening. Watermelon drips down our faces.
It's autumn, but not.
It's autumn, but not.
And all this fresh green begs to be made into salads and tossed onto pizzas fresh out of the oven and tucked up in rice paper rolls.
So, who am I to argue?
Nelle and I sat at the table one lunchtime last week and made these spring rolls out of our garden bounty, plus the 3 types of sprouts we bought at the market - pea shoots, mung bean sprouts, and alfalfa sprouts. She dipped hers in German-style mayonnaise; I dipped mine in peanut sauce.
We made extra, for our lunches at work and kindy. We even saved a couple for Daddy. 'Cause we're nice like that. It was a challenge, though, to share the peanut sauce. It's growl-worthy.
So enjoy your spring, or your spring-y autumn, or whatever season it is wherever you are ... and have a look at what's fresh and new around you.
Then eat it.

Triple Sprout Spring Rolls
with My Favourite Peanut Sauce
The time
10-15 min prep + 10-15 min rolling
The ingredients
The rolls
Really you just need good-quality rice paper + fresh herbs and veggies.
Some of my favourite inclusions are:
mint, coriander, lemon basil and/or parsley
julienned carrot and/or radish
lettuce, amaranth, spinach, sorrel, and/or rocket
thin strips of cucumber or raw zucchini
mungbean, pea, radish, broccoli and/or alfalfa sprouts
rice vermicelli
The sauce - makes ~1 cup
adapted from Steven Raichlen's High-Flavour, Low-Fat Vegetarian Cooking
3 Tbs natural peanut butter
1 Tbs fresh ginger, grated
1-2 cloves garlic, minced
2 spring onions, minced
1/3 cup hot water
3 Tbs soy sauce
2 Tbs rice vinegar
2 tsp honey (optional)
1 tsp hot sauce
*Try to buy organic when you can - especially for the greens
The process
1. Organise all your salad ingredients on a big plate or benchtop. Put all the sauce ingredients into a heavy glass jar and shake till combined. The hot water should help penetrate the stickiness of the peanut butter, but if it doesn't just use a spoon to mix everything. Add water if you need to - it should be mayonnaise-thick, not toothpaste-thick. Adjust the sauce to how you like it - more or less chili, thinner or thicker, and so on.
2. You can either let your guests roll themselves, or do it ahead of time - Basically you dip a dried rice paper roll in warm water to soften it, then roll it up around your fillings like a burrito. Don't worry about prettiness - you'll get better after a few! Cut in half, or don't. Dip away.
The cost
I've found that rice paper does vary in quality - so you might want to splurge out a little and that will help keep your rolls from tearing as you make them. Saying that - it's not expensive stuff. I spent $8.99 for a packet of 20 or so non-organic papers, and the salad within is pretty inexpensive - especially if you take what you can from the garden. My rolls - mostly organic - probably cost me less than $1 each, including sauce.

Your spring rolls look wonderful! My sister can't get enough of spring rolls. I had chicken served on little skewers with peanut dipping sauce served to me one Christmas a few years ago. I absolutely loved the sauce so I'm very excited that you posted this recipe and I'm anxious to try it.

Love the greens in your spring rolls. The peanut sauce reminds me of a mix of Thai, Chinese and Indian cuisine. Love your photos too...

Growing up in an Asian household, I have had plenty of spring rolls and these look like a great, fresh twist to them.

Some people may say that I am not really living a conventional life. Well, it's true that I'm not married, don't have a mortgage (or a house) and don't lead a regular 9-to-5 life.
I decided I didn't want all that a while ago.
But some conventions are harder to change…
It has taken me to the age of 30 to realise I've been missing out on one of life's great pleasures.
I'm talking about chocolate for breakfast.
For 30 years I've eaten toast with tea or maybe cereals and coffee. That's what everyone does. That's what breakfast is. Or sometimes I don't eat at all. And I've never considered the need for something different.
But recently I happened to eat a chocolate brownie with my morning coffee. It was there, so I ate it.
And it was delicious. The best breakfast ever!
So since that revelationary day, I've had more brownie-coffee combo breakfasts.
Sure, I know it's not healthy. But when you're cycling several hours a day, calories are to be consumed, not rationed.
And one of the best things about being an adult is you are responsible for your own actions. No longer is mum saying what you should or shouldn't do.
Of course, if I get fat from breakfast-brownie overload, it'll be my own fault.
But with this discovery of one of life's little pleasures, made in my third decade of life, I am confident I will find many more over the years to come.
Getting older has it's advantages!

Tottenham and Arsenal show shortcomings in dramatic Wembley draw
LONDON -- In recent years, the North London derby has come to be regarded as the Premier League's most enthralling game: high on energy, high on goals, high on drama. By contrast, the Tottenham vs. Arsenal 1-1 draw at Wembley on Saturday -- at least until the closing minutes -- was more reserved.
Neither side was capable of going full-throttle: Spurs did not press with any intensity and moved the ball slowly through midfield, while Arsenal dropped back and did not offer a consistent counter-attacking threat. Rather than a showcase of these teams' technical qualities, the game underlined their shortcomings.
The most disappointing aspect of Arsenal's display came in injury time, when Pierre Emerick-Aubameyang's weak penalty, which he won himself after being fouled by Davinson Sanchez, was saved by goalkeeper Hugo Lloris. It was a missed opportunity for the Gunners to put Spurs under serious pressure in the league table, yet Arsenal's current situation was actually better summarised two hours beforehand with the announcement of their starting XI.
Unai Emery's selection featured no Aubameyang, who is considered incompatible with Alexandre Lacazette in big matches when more numbers are needed in midfield. As the manager confirmed afterward, he decided on just one forward and then chose according to availability for the midweek Europa league trip to Rennes, for which Lacazette is suspended.
Mesut Ozil, outstanding in a 5-1 thrashing of Bournemouth three days ago, was predictably omitted, and even Lucas Torreira -- Arsenal's best performer before Christmas -- was also only on the bench. Maybe this illustrates strength in depth, but a fairer analysis is that when looking at a combination of tactical and financial concerns, Arsenal simply are not getting their most valuable players on the pitch together.
But they nevertheless did open the scoring with a goal out of the blue, from a counter. Davinson Sanchez tried to jump in and win the ball ahead of Lacazette but missed his header, allowing the French international to slip in Aaron Ramsey, who had the entire Spurs half to himself.
Something of a Wembley talisman, having scored two FA Cup final winners at the stadium, the Arsenal midfielder brought the ball toward goal and had time to check over both shoulders to check he wasn't being shut down before rounding Lloris and sliding into an empty net.
But Ramsey actually endured a difficult game, continually conceding possession, and was substituted relatively early in favour of Ozil. There is a peculiarity about Arsenal being built around Ramsey as a No. 10 -- given he has already confirmed a summer departure to Juventus -- while Ozil, the club's highest-paid player, cannot get into the side.
Arsenal's other major problem is at the back. While they defended solidly for long periods, the nature of their concession will infuriate their supporters. There was a question as to whether Kane was offside when a free kick was played into the penalty area, but Shkodran Mustafi's decision to barge him in the back was both inexplicable and in keeping with his tendency to make ridiculous errors. Kane converted the penalty with typical calmness.
Mustafi was playing out of position at right-back and looked uncomfortable throughout, at one point mishandling the ball under little pressure and then clumsily pole-axing Danny Rose in an attempt to compensate. Laurent Koscielny and Sokratis Papastathopoulos played well in the centre, but at 33 and 30 respectively, it is difficult to believe this is Arsenal's long-term solution at the back.
While Arsenal had problems at both ends, Spurs' issue was in the centre of midfield. After going behind, they found themselves dominating possession, but moved the ball slowly and predictably in midfield. Not enough was made of their wing-backs' freedom, and play was rarely switched into the acres of space down the flanks.
The absence of Harry Winks was particularly obvious; Victor Wanyama and Moussa Sissoko lacked his coolness in possession, which left Jan Vertonghen as Spurs' chief distributor, playing straight balls in behind for Rose, or excellent long diagonals to Kieran Trippier. At times, Vertonghen appears Spurs' best centre-back, best left-back and best deep-lying playmaker!
The home side's other failure for long periods of the first half was their inability to get a midfielder in behind Kane and Son Heung-min, who were occupying Arsenal's centre-backs and dragging them into wider positions. This created a gap for a runner to exploit; Dele Alli, still out injured, would have loved such a situation.
But it took until the final five minutes of the opening period for Christian Eriksen, playing as a No. 10, to take the opportunity. From Kane's chip into his path, Eriksen's effort forced Bernd Leno into a good save, before the German goalkeeper immediately sprung up to thwart Sissoko's follow-up with an outstanding, instinctive left-handed stop.
Spurs improved after half-time. Eriksen moved deeper and Erik Lamela, who replaced the evidently unfit Wanyama, injected extra energy into the final third. Mauricio Pochettino's side merited their equaliser, although as the manager tinkered with his team in the latter stages, eventually moving to a 4-4-2, they found themselves with Rose playing alongside Sissoko in midfield.
Although Rose has been used in that position before -- a brief cameo against Real Madrid -- he was clearly unsuited to the role. Twice he dribbled determinedly into a crowd of Arsenal players, thumped a long diagonal out of play, and ended the game being absolutely flattened by a Torreira challenge that brought a straight red card for the Arsenal substitute.
After the game, Pochettino attempted to explain that Rose has the technical qualities to play in midfield, but also acknowledged he lacked the familiarity of receiving the ball in central positions and effectively conceded Spurs simply did not have anyone else to play there, with Eric Dier also out and Mousa Dembele not having been adequately replaced since he started to decline around 18 months ago.
Pochettino also claimed Spurs "were better in every respect" and suggested it was "a fantastic game, an exciting game, with two sides wanting to play," but that seemed an odd analysis. Instead, it felt like a very fair draw between two sides unable to play their A-games and who, instead, are more concerned with patching up problem areas.
