text: I was struggling while trying to figure out how to start this column and I thought taking the dog out for a walk and getting some fresh air might help get the writing juices flowing. As I passed my wife on the way out of the house, she looked at me and said "This team will be the death of you. You look old." It was that kind of day. We've seen way too many of these days over the last decade plus. It's hard to say whether this one was worse or about the same but it felt worse to me. This despite the fact that I fully anticipated a blow out loss in San Francisco(34-10 and not 45-3) and one of those games where I'd be staring at the screen in the second half, wondering when it would be over so I can go on with my life. At one point in the fourth quarter, I was wondering if this is rock bottom? Then I realized we've asked that same question so many times over the years and we thought each time it was rock bottom, only to be proven wrong. The crazy thing is that amidst the carnage that is the last two games(97 points and 1201 yards given up), the Bills still have a chance to be 4-3 going into the bye. Yes, you can now email me suggesting I seek professional help. Believe it or not, the next two games(at Arizona and home for Tennessee) are games the Bills can win. Its still possible the Bills will be 4-5 heading into the final seven games of the season and the "soft" part of schedule. That would be exactly where many fans thought they'd be after nine games. But its how they've looked in their three defeats that has Bills fans sick to their stomach. Buffalo has been outscored 145-59 in those losses to the Jets, Patriots and 49ers. They looked outclassed by what now appears to be a bad Jets team in the opener. They suffered a colossal collapse at the hands of Tom Brady and company last week and just when you thought that was rock bottom, they made Alex Smith look like Brady. The 2012 Bills defense now has a place in the Bills record book. The 621 yards given up on Sunday is the single largest single game total in franchise history. It sure felt like the defense folded up its tent in the second half. At the very least, the group exhibited an alarming trait that first reared its ugly head in the pre-season game with Pittsburgh. When the going gets tough, the defense gets flustered and comes apart at the seams. Think about the Steelers TD drive right before halftime. Even Chan Gailey admitted that night his team was flustered. They looked that way in the first half at Met Life Stadium as Mark Sanchez produced a Brady-like performance. The wheels came off in the second half last week when the Pats scored touchdowns on six straight drives and Sunday's game speaks for itself. For the first time since 1961, the 49ers had a 300 yard passer, a 100 yard rusher and two 100 yard receivers in the same game. Its hard to believe but the defense appears to be worse than last year's group which was one of the worst in the history of the franchise. I thought fans were jumping the gun when they were calling for the firing of Dave Wannstedt after just four games as Defensive Coordinator but his group sure looks lost and totally demoralized. I would point out that Mario Williams was a non factor, again(which he was) but Williams had plenty of company on Sunday. There was little if any pass rush from the front four, the linebackers don't make enough plays and the secondary is getting beaten more than the Washington Generals in their all time series with the Harlem Globetrotters. The lack of pass rush is making the struggles of the secondary even more noticeable. The Bills can't cover anybody. Niners receivers and tight end Vernon Davis were wide open numerous times in the game. Even Randy Moss caught a ball. Buffalo gave up five pass plays of 20 yards or longer. Alex Smith threw for 303 yards which is well above his season average of 197. The run defense looked like swiss cheese for the second straight week. San Francisco had 11 big play runs which are runs that gain ten or more yards. The Bills have given up 558 yards rushing in the last two games. The pathetic play of the defense against the three toughest opponents to this point of the schedule far outweighs the issues on offense. Actually its just one issue. The quarterback is bad. But I knew I was hoping more than believing in Ryan Fitzpatrick. I think there's talent on defense but Fitzpatrick is who he is, an inconsistent quarterback who isn't good enough to win games on his own. The Bills would have probably lost any way and perhaps in a rout but as was the case with the New England game, Fitzpatrick missed on plays when the game wasn't a lost cause. In the first quarter, on the Bills first possession, he sailed a ball over Stevie Johnson's head on third and seven. I will point out that Erik Pears was being shoved back into him so perhaps he altered the throw to get it over the pass rush. On the Bills next possession with SF up 3-0, Fitzpatrick overthrew Johnson who had a step on his man inside the 49ers five yard line. If the throw is on target it would have been a touchdown. In the second quarter, he threw slightly behind Donald Jones on a slant route inside the SF five yard line. Jones did get his hands on it and I won't fight you if you tell me a receiver should make that play but it shouldn't be too much to ask the QB to put it in the right spot either. If he does it is first and goal inside the five at the very least, if not a touchdown to put the Bills up 7-3. They ended up getting a field goal to tie the game at 3. In retrospect, that was your high point of the day Bills fans. Still in the second quarter with SF up 10-3, he missed CJ Spiller deep down the left sideline. Spiller cleanly beat 49ers LB Novorro Bowman but Fitzpatrick overthrew the speedy running back and the ball landed out of bounds. It would have been a big gain into SF territory. In the third quarter with the Bills trailing 24-3 and at the SF 20 yard line, Fitzpatrick threw an awful ball that almost made me throw up my halftime dinner of pizza and wings. He wanted Donald Jones in the end zone but winged the ball with his weight on his back foot. He never stepped into the throw and it was a duck, falling into the waiting hands of Niners DB Chris Culliver. Quick question. Why did the Bills cut Vince Young to keep Tyler Thigpen who they won't even consider bringing in when the offense can't get out of its own way? And why would they trade for Tarvaris Jackson and then proceed to continually make him inactive on game day? After the implosion against the Patriots, I was wondering if it might have a lingering effect on the team. Now I'm wondering if they're completely shell shocked and whether or not we're about to witness an avalanche of losses and in season coaching changes. Maybe it's a good thing the Bills opted to stay on the west coast this week and practice in Arizona. That way they won't have to hear what's being said about them back home.

Are Target, Walmart, Other Retailers Ruining Thanksgiving?
Retail 'sale' creep hits the all-American holiday big time this year.
If all you can wait to do after you chow down on your Thanksgiving meal is start the holiday shopping marathon, retailers are ready to help you.
Other Americans, including some retail workers, are saying they want to keep one Thursday in November free of American capitalistic intrusion.
Target, Walmart, Sears, KMart and Toys"R"Us have all announced they will open as early as 8 p.m. Thanksgiving Day, making 2012's holiday shopping season of 32 days and four hours perhaps the longest ever due to the way the calendar fell this year.
At least one online petition says enough, already.
A campaign on the site Change.org entitled, "Target: Take the high road and save Thanksgiving," had been signed by more than 230,000 users as of Friday night.
It was started by Change.org user "C Renee," who identified herself as a Corona, CA, Target employee.
In the letter she asks people to sign, she wrote: "A 9 p.m. opening disgusts me and symbolizes everything that is wrong with this country. Give Thanksgiving back to families."
Target responded on its "A Bullseye View" blog, saying customers gave feedback that they wanted to shop on Thanksgiving night rather than getting up in the wee hours on Black Friday to try to beat the crowds. It also said its employees wanted to work on the holiday and that they would be paid extra.
Walmart, whose stores open at 8 p.m., is facing an organized labor action on Black Friday.
For decades, Black Friday has heralded the start to the holiday shopping season and early Black Friday circulars online this year have been building anticipation for weeks. In recent years, Black Friday hours have gotten earlier, luring bargain shoppers from their homes shortly after midnight Thanksgiving night.
What do you think? Do Thanksgiving hours do shoppers a favor? Or, are the days of retail-free Thanksgiving over? Tell us in comments.

not only is Thanksgiving being ruined, the "tradition" of Black Friday is being reuined. as far as I'm concerned, NOBODY should take advantage of ruining tradition and everyone should just wait until Friday to shop as we do every year. HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO ALL!
1:11 pm on Monday, November 19, 2012
We will be closed on Thanksgiving because we want to enjoy time with our families and we wouldn't want to be seen as ruining Thanksgiving which is one of our favorite holidays!
That said, I would say that the Media is unfairly portraying the stores, no one is forcing the employees to work on Thanksgiving and it's all based on customer demands.
I would agree that the stores shouldn't open if they don't have enough employees that WANT the extra pay and if they were indeed forcing their employees to work or lose their jobs.
Not everyone celebrates Thanksgiving and if people want to work and customers are actually shopping then more power to everyone involved.
I do believe stores relying on one sale a year to make or break the rest of their year is a bit silly and gimmicky and opening up the day before your "sale" day is a bit insane. It's called Black Friday, not Black Thursday.

What would you have people do? Spend time with family? As we have been instructed - the holidays are not about consumption. Consume less. Purchase a BMW - because the new ones get better gas mileage than the older models. Happy Thanksgiving. Merry Christmas.

It's a shame that these retailers are making employees work on Thanksgiving Evening. I was one of the 230,000 who signed the Target online petition. Thanksgiving is supposed to be a day spent with family and friends, free of bombardment of sales! I guess Black Friday is not good enough. Unfortunately, because of corporate greed, the Thanksgiving of our childhood is gone!
1:11 pm on Monday, November 19, 2012
the store is not ruining it, the people showing up are. By now people have to know they only have about 3 of what ever the "super low bargin" is. Everything else you can order on line at the same price. The ploy is to get you into the store. Duh. If you really feel for your fellow man who has to come work at these stores then don't shop at these special hours. Come shop during the regular hours. There are some brave Walmart, etc. workers that plan to strike, but most of them can't afford to do that because they will be fired. The only way to save their holiday is for people to only shop during the regular store hours.

I'm a die hard capitalist but there are a few things that you should not do. Opening on Thanksgiving Day is a "no go" for me. I would rather get up at 3am to get to the store, it has become kind of a tradition. But if these store's must be open, then they should at least ask for volunteer first. That would allow those who want to work to do so.
1:11 pm on Monday, November 19, 2012
If the stores choose to open I guess that's their right; after all, nobody is forcing anyone to go shopping on Thanksgiving. (my family doesn't) The only downside would be that employees of these stores can't spend the holiday with THEIR families.
Rick Hudson

K-mart ,Walmart and Target are not ruining Thanksgiving, they are for profit businesses that are making a business decision because they think it will work. If they dont make money, stores close. If stores close, people lose jobs. Personally, if you want to go shop on Thanksgiving night, that is your choice, good for you have fun. If corporations want to open that night, good for them, I hope you increase your margins. If you have to work that night, that sucks, but having a jopb beats not having a job and if it bothers you that much then work somewhere that mirrors you values and work principals.
I guess long story short is we shouldn't vilify a for profit company for trying to make a profit.

I do recall the days when - if you forgot the cranberry sauce on Thanksgiving Day, you would have to drive across town to the one open store. Virtually nothing was open. I understand the business side of it, but I heard today that one store will open for a few hours very early on Thanksgiving. I think next year it will be all over -- Thanksgiving will be like a normal shopping day.

For me, Thanksgiving was a lot of work. Cleaning. Hauling out dishes. Cooking. Mother hen duties. I did run to Safeway, and the employees seemed to be having a lot of fun while working, wishing customers well. This is a little different, because we see each other weekly. And they got to go home in time for the game and dinner. I have never seen Safeway's parking lot so full and realized many people need that convenience in order to achieve that storybook Thanksgiving, even though our Safeway is open 24/7 normally. Due to my income drop, I have all but lost the art of shopping, and I appreciate that upside of the stores' marketing. But I agree with the above comment by Danna, will Thanksgiving just become a normal shopping day, and the word Thanksgiving become simply a quaint memory? I loved the empty streets, the closing of my office...
Peggy Anne

Black Friday ? Why not play the Funeral March ? Of course consumers in human form have the right to shop 24/7. They have a right to be trampled, poked in the eye with an umbrella, make fools of themselves, and buy discounted caskets. Why not ?everything else is on sale. Big brother brainwashing is alive and well. I like to shop sensibly. Give me an old thrift shop, a rainy Monday, and an ebay account.

Laying Sod
By: Amanda Campbell
Updated: March 3, 2011
- Sod (Measure your area for square footage before ordering your
sod. If sod is going to sit for more than 36 hours, be sure to keep it moist and out of the sun.)
- Starter fertilizer
Tools needed:
- Rake
- Tiller
- Lawn spreader
- Hose and sprinklers
- Sod roller (can be rented)
- Old knife or linoleum knife
Steps to laying sod
1) Prepare your area. To prepare the area, till the soil and remove any rocks or debris. You may want to get a soil test, to determine whether or not you need to raise or lower the pH. To take a soil sample, dig a 6 to 8 inch hole in the bed. Using a spade, shave a thin layer of soil all the way down. Put the soil in plastic container and send it to your state extension service. Extension services are usually located at state universities. For a small fee, the extension service will let you know what you need to add to your soil. Be sure to let them know you are planting a lawn.
2) Apply a starter fertilizer. Using your lawn spreader, apply a good starter fertilizer. Starter fertilizers will have high second and third numbers. Check your local garden center for available brands.
3) Begin laying sod. Once your soil is prepared, begin laying sod. It�s a good idea to start on a straight edge, like a driveway. It is very important to get the pieces as close as possible to one another, without overlapping them.
Lay the sod in a �brick wall� pattern. This will prevent long seams in the sod and help prevent erosion. Use an old knife or a linoleum knife to cut around obstacles (trees, electrical boxes, fire hydrants, etc.).
4) Roll the sod. Using a sod roller (be sure to fill it with water), smooth the surface. Rolling will knit the sod to the soil.
5) Water the sod. Sod should initially be watered frequently and lightly (2-3 times a day for 10-14 days). The goal is to get the sod and one inch of soil penetrated. After the 10-14 days, the sod should be watered deeper and less frequently.

Curb Appeal Tips
Updated: January 13, 2011
Obviously, green grass will help you sell your house, but there�s a lot more to making your house appealing to the eye than a lush lawn. We�re talking about �Curb Appeal� � that�s the term realtors use to describe the overall impression your house makes when it�s viewed from the curb. There are a lot of things to consider when you�re trying to increase your curb appeal � some things you can do immediately, and some you can do over time.
What can you do to add curb appeal right away? First let�s look at the obvious things. Of course you want to keep your lawn neat and trimmed. The same is true for any hedges or foliage. Curb appeal can literally mean everything from the curb to your front door, so is the curb in front of your house clean? Are the street gutters free of debris? What about the sidewalk?
Do you have a plain old tin mailbox leaning on a shaky post? Think about encasing it in brick or giving it some other kind of customized treatment.
Now let�s look at the lawn. Some older houses in established neighborhoods are fronted by beautiful trees or landscaping that certainly adds to the appeal of a home. But you may live in a brand new house in a brand new neighborhood, where the trees and foliage haven�t had time to mature, or maybe your yard is completely barren of trees and hedges. For a short-term solution, you can purchase mature trees or landscaping and plant now. For a long-term plan that will cost you less up front, buy some saplings and plant them now so they�ll grow over time.
Maybe it�s best for your budget to add foliage to your lawn incrementally, so your curb appeal grows as your family grows. We featured a house in our segment that displayed some extensive landscaping work that looks like it was added in this manner. Consider spending $50 to add appeal to your landscaping every time you make a mortgage payment; that improvement will show up steadily over a few years without causing a major financial drain at any given moment. Think ahead to how you�d like your house to look in ten years and plant now. Just make sure you space things far enough apart so they have room to grow.
Now let�s look at the house itself. The front door makes a strong first impression. Replacing a front door can add instant luster, but it may be too costly for you right now, so you might want to make improvements over time. Add a brass handle or brass fixtures; maybe paint or stain the door with a color that will make it stand out from the rest of the house. And what about your windows? Adding attractive drapes or otherwise enhancing your window treatment can only add to the appeal of your house.
Basic maintenance and upkeep can add a lot to the �drive-up appeal� of your home. Trim the hedges every time you mow the lawn. Clear off cobwebs from windows and exterior light fixtures. Touch up areas that need a new coat of paint when the weather fades or cracks the existing paint job. Take care of needed maintenance now so the house doesn�t fall into disrepair as repair jobs stack up over time.
Use foliage and shrubbery to hide any unattractive aspects of your house or surroundings. In our segment, we featured a house with a long, boring solid wall of brick running down the side of the house. The homeowners planted a tall shrub that hid that wall from view. The shrub serves as a framing device which adds appeal and hides a less attractive view of the house at the same time. They did the same on the opposite side of the house. Their property adjoins a gully. They hid the gully from view with a wall of hedges, designed like a natural fence. This adds beauty to the street view and totally obscures the barren property next door.
Whatever time and expense you invest in your house now will only add to the potential resale value when you decide to sell. A potential buyer who sees an appealing, well-maintained exterior may feel comfort and confidence that the entire house has been well-maintained inside and out. So think about curb appeal as an ongoing consideration. You can do things right now that will instantly increase the curb appeal of your house, and you can do things now that will eventually add appeal over time. You can spend a lot of money quickly or you can spend a little now, and a little more later � either way, a dedicated and determined effort will consistently enhance the appeal of your house for yourself and any potential buyer.

This intense color is also known to induce emotions from passion to violence. Experiments have shown that rooms painted red will encourage workers to work faster. Along with the faster work came more mistakes, making red not the best option for wall paint in a work environment. Red used on walls has been found to be a great benefit in restaurants, causing an increase in appetite.Red is a symbol of high energy and aggression. It is often used in warning or danger signs.

The Rockingham City Council will be discussing softball, grease traps and taxis when it meets at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday.
The council will meet for its regular monthly meeting at City Hall, 514 Rockingham Road, Rockingham.
Tuesday's meeting will begin with a special presentation to the Rockingham 10U Dixie All-Stars who are the 2012 Dixie Angels World Series softball champions, after a recent series of games in Georgia.
The team is a part of Rockingham's Parks and Recreation Department, and is comprised of six 10-year-olds and six 9-year-olds. The girls along with their coaches, including Head Coach Michael Way, have been invited to City Hall for special recognition by Mayor Gene McLaurin and the City Council.
Since the World Series opener in Georgetown, S.C., on July 30, the girls remained undefeated. And on Aug. 1, a 6-1 victory against Jones County National, Ga., brought the championship home for the girls.
The girls' journey to the championship was a long one, said Coach Way.
"The girls had to win the District 4 tournament in Norwood, N.C., and the State Tournament in Eden, N.C., in order to make it to the World Series," Way said. "Not only did they win both the district and state tournaments, but they did it with a perfect 8-0 record. This was a huge accomplishment because it meant that our girls would represent the state of North Carolina in the World Series. We were thrilled just to make it to the World Series and knew that the competition would be tough.
"… We hope that these girls realize what a huge accomplishment this is. They are World Series Champions. They have done something that no other team from North Carolina has done before," said the coach.
"As coaches, we could not be prouder of the determination that this group of girls has shown. They fought to come from behind in four of their games to come out on top. They never gave up. Throughout this tournament, our girls played with such heart. They are truly a team in every sense," Way said.
In other matters, the City Council will consider a Fats, Oils, and Grease Control Ordinance, to help prevent the mess created for public sanitary sewer systems when grease from food service operations builds up in the pipes and equipment.
The draft ordinance says it's designed to "aid in the prevention of Sanitary Sewer Overflow (SSO's) caused by grease accumulation in its sanitary sewer system."
And further, "Any nonresidential facility connected to the City of Rockingham's sanitary sewer collection and treatment system involved in the preparation or serving of foods will be subject to the conditions of this ordinance."
The ordnance would require, in part, that these establishments discharge all waste from sinks, dishwashers, drains and any other fixtures through which fats, oils, and grease may be discharged, into a properly maintained grease trap or interceptor. The grease interceptor shall be constructed at the owner's expense, according to the proposed ordinance.
Other agenda items before the council include:
• Consideration of appointments to the Land Use Plan Steering Committee.
• A public hearing on several Community Development Block Grant programs, including 2012 Infrastructure Program, 2012 Infrastructure Hook-Up Program, 2012 Small Business and Entrepreneurial Assistance Grant Program, 2012 NC Catalyst Program.
• Discussion of a proposed Taxicab Permit Ordinance, which Police Chief Billy Kelly has asked council to review. Additional discussion on this matter will be held in September.

Keep air moving in your own apartment with extractive window fans or ceiling fans.
Air purifiers can help, but don't always solve the problem.
For the Considerate Smoker…
If you want to keep peace with your neighbors and/or want to minimize the damage to your own home, here are a few suggestions: You will need to work harder than the non-smoker in keeping your home clean. Tar and nicotine affect every surface they come in contact with. Clean all flat surfaces at least twice a week, vacuum often, use deep cleaning rug shampoos, and occasionally wash your walls with a mild detergent.
Run an air purifying filter in your home, and install a window vent fan. It is courteous to install HEPA filters in your heating ducts to prevent your smoke from exiting your apartment through your ducts.
You can also smoke outdoors. In fact, more and more landlords are requiring tenants to smoke outdoors due to the cost of cleaning up cigarette smoke damage as well as fire hazard and insurance issues.
And if you are really considerate – you can quit smoking.

About Me Midrange Shopper
Comments about Bush Furniture Series C L-Shape Wood Desk with Hutch in Hansen Cherry:
I have to start by saying I really like this desk and I'd really like to give it 5 star but just can't. When it arrives, it's pretty straight forward to assemble. I did most of it by myself but had to have someone help with a few steps.Assemble it ask close to it's final resting spot as possible. It is very very heavy and about impossible to move fully assembled.The directions are clear for the most part. The directions that came with my return told me to use the a piece for the end of the return but it was only about half as wide as the return itself. When I was done assembling the return, I noticed there was an extra piece. It replaced the narrow leg with a leg that was the full width of the return. I'm assuming that piece is used when the return is used in a different kit. I don't know.Also, where the return meets the filing cabinet is not very study and that's right where I like to rest my arm. I simply screwed in a 90degree metal brace with short screws and it worked like a champ. All-in-all, outstanding desk set especially for the price. Others in my office as coined it the 'mega desk'. It is pretty huge with a lot of storage. I'm going to be ordering two more.
I would buy this product again I love it

About Me Practical
I use this desk at least 8 hours a day & I love it. However, I have called several times as this product & all component views of this product show a keyboard tray. There is not a picture I can find on-line without a keyboard tray & there is not a disclaimer I can find that says "key board tray not included." I have called several times & been made many promises - but I can not get Cymax to follow through & provide the keyboard tray shown in every display. I am very disapointed in the customer service & will not again purchase anything from Cymax eventhough I love the rest of the desk...

Customer Reviews
- Fantastic!!!! Review by CRB
Price Value Quality I used the eye cream last night and this morning and am incredibly happy with the results! That's an understatement - I am overjoyed with the results! Even with just two uses, the skin above my eyes is much less wrinkly. It looks plumper and fuller and smoother. I'm 42 years old and have always rubbed my eyes like crazy and when I saw some wrinkles above my eyes I got a bit panicky and purchased this cream. I am excited to see such a dramatic improvement in such a short time and will definitely keep using this product - and I will stop rubbing my eyes!!!
- Amazing Review by Shf
Price Value Quality Every eye cream I used before this irritated my eyes causing burning and watery eyes. Some even made the dry patches on my eyelid and under my eye worse. After 2 days of using this eye balm the dry patch on my eyelid was completely gone. And there is absolutely no burning and watery eyes. It really does reduce bags and dark circles too. For once my eyes look hydrated and smooth. Love this stuff!
- Excellent! Review by Buttercup
Price Value Quality I have tried all the expensive eye creams but I am still dry under my eyes. i just tried this product and now I have a dewy look and my eyes are totally moisturized...what a relief!
- Awesome product Review by JS
Price Value Quality This product is well worth the cost. It only takes a dab to gain results. It makes a very noticeable difference in dark circles and puffiness. I have been using it for about a year and haven't seen an increase in fine lines. It is non-greasy and absorbs quickly into the skin. I love this product and will continue to use it.
- Worth it! Review by Blondie
Price Value Quality I use this twice a day, every day, and always look as though I've had a full night's sleep. No more puffy, baggy eyes! I've also seen an improvement in fine lines.
I have extremely sensitive skin, particularly around my eyes (with some eye creams I've used, I get tiny white bumpy spots around my eyes) and I can use this cream without any burning or other ill effects. Huge pros for me to be able to use this cream AND see positive results! - eye balm Review by jan
Price Value Quality Best eyecream I have ever used. Really decreases puffiness and creates smoothness.
- wrinkle revenge rescue & protect eye balm Review by Kelly
Price Value Quality love this product! this is the only eye balm i've found that is safe to apply to your eyelid and helps prevent sagging.
- My Fave Dermadoctor Product Review by Christopher
Price Value Quality The one product I can't be without. I started to get some stuff going on under the eye area but this product sorted it all out. Keeps me moisturized and wrinkle free around and especially under the eyes. Very nice and light. I like the consistency very much and a little does go a long way. The small jar lasts me for months. I don't like being without this one!
- great product Review by skinfanatic
Price Value Quality I have been very particular with skin products and I have tried many, but this product can really minimize any fine lines from forming and have actually decreased fine lines around my eyes. It is sort of pricey for such a small amount, but it does a great job with such a little amount that you would have to apply. I love it and would not even consider any other product. It has lot let me down...I will continue to replenish my supply of them.
- Thank Goodness for Free Samples Review by Donna
Price Value Quality If I had not received a free sample with another order I might have never discovered this amazing eye cream. With sensitive skin every product I tried left me with "raccoon" red circles around my eyes which burned for days. This cream is perfect for me. I tried my old cream again just to be sure. Same red circles! This product really does work for sensitive skin. I love it!

Good shoe for bad feet
Overall Product Rating (5 out of 5)
By Daniel
I'm 55 years old and my feet have gotten difficult over the years. My feet are narrow, flat, have a high foot bone that can't take pressure and Morton's toe. I wear orthotics and no shoe can be perfect (that I know of). I now own 2 pairs of this shoe style(Burke). I wear one pair inside and one outside. I have boots and other shoe styles but I retreat this style of shoe because they irritate my feet the least. (Actually it's my left foot that has most of the discomfort). The toe box is pretty roomy and it laces basically only on one place and that hits my foot right for the most part. I recommend that you give it a try if you also have very difficult feet at all like mine.
Every shoe does fit every foot differently. We are so glad this style works great for you and happy it is able to accommodate your feet. Thank you for the review.
How do you most use this product?: Outside shoe and inside shoe

Strategic Deterrence with Tactical Flexibility: The Coming Impact of the F-35B
By Ed Timperlake May 18, 2012
http://www.sldforum.com/2012/05/strateg ... the-f-35b/
"Every fighter pilot has had or will have a moment in the air when the biggest indicator in the cockpit is showing how much fuel is left: the fuel indicator immediately can dominate the pilots attention and really focus thinking on where to immediately land.
Fuel is measured in pounds usually with an engineering caveat stating a degree of uncertainty over how low the number may go before all the noise will stop. Pounds of fuel remaining eventually become everything.
It is actually a very simple and terrifying equation, no fuel means simply no noise because the jet engine has stopped working.
Contemplating this very time sensitive dilemma, when the "noise gage" goes to zero, all pilots know that their once trusted and beautiful sleek multi-million fighters that they are strapped into will rapidly take on the flying characteristic of a brick....
Much Much More at the JUMP!

Spaz, This article was very hard to read. It seemed as if author wanted to rush to make a point about the field deployment capabilities of the F-35B but muddled the background setup.
RE: field use of the F-35B would be easier to explain if some examples of it could be shown for the Harriers in the USMC. In my ignorance I don't have any such examples (assistance from Harrier fliers please???). We've been at war in SE Asia now for about 20 years give or take and these uses of our Harrier fleet are not well publicized. I would think that LM would be shouting those examples from the rooftops in support of the B. Instead, all we keep hearing about is the Falklands example, where austere field deployment was the ONLY option.
I think that if that concept of persistent austere field deployment of STOVL were to really be executable, the field support concept would also have to be realistic. I remember seeing pictures of an airfield truck commonly used at Russian airbases that included fuel, test equipment and some spares storage, external power generator and engine starter -- all in one. That seems like a good start.

The author of the article forgot one very important fact, setting up for and performing a vertical landing takes a lot of gas. Its much more fuel efficent to do a straight in approach.

In the Harrier, definitely. But in the Lightning the vertical thrust will be pretty much evenly split between the nozzle and lift fan. You may get a short spike in fuel burn during transition and fan spin-up but once settled in the hover fuel burn should be close to normal mil power rates depending on the power setting.
But don't quote me....

'archeman' personally I find a lot of SLDinfo articles difficult to read/comprehend (and I have mentioned this before) due to the writing style and introduction of a lot of acronyms and USMC buzz words I am not familiar with. Also most SLDinfo articles suffer from not being proofread and corrected. Last but not least a lot of their articles are cobbled together using previous articles, often making these issues worse. But as some say - whatever. I do enjoy their introduction of new concepts for CONOPS for the F-35B in particular. I'm confident the USMC do a lot of work in that regard and we will hear more about it in future where SLDinfo only hint at it often.
Singapore practises road landings regularly with support. I'd imagine that SEA island / small landmass nations would benefit using the F-35B for deployment 'off airfield' with South Korea, Japan and Singapore [Taiwan interested but will US sell it to them?] being candidates with Italian mentioning using F-35Bs on their short runways [+ Israel interested earlier on but apparently not now]. Harriers only used by Thailand in that region from a small carrier and not much use at all for many reasons (lack of money being one AFAIK).
What needs to be remembered about an F-35B (or Harrier) vertical landing it is that it can be done with minimum required fuel and it is guaranteed - at that spot. Many spots available while fewer very short runways or even roadways available by comparison. Ground support will move to where they are - within reason. Survivability of F-35B is guaranteed even if main airfield trashed.

As I see it, the Bee may have an advantage in a low fuel situation if it can make emergency landings on unimproved clearings/surfaces; the engine might get chewed up, but a basically intact plane that one can cart off for repairs is better than a smoking hole in the ground. However, I don't know of many situations where that capability is pertinent. You'd be surprised at how many accidents are caused by running out of gas, but in most cases, the pilot doesn't realize the problem until he stops hearing the good noise (no vertical landings there).
The sky is blue because God loves the Infantry.

'alloycowboy' that 'min. req. fuel for F-35B VL' would be good to know. One could extrapolate from previous SHAR requirement to have 500 lbs 'in the circuit' - my guess this means at the hover perhaps. Then the SHAR could do a quick whip around, apparently to have another quick go at a VL, before byebyes. However they would likely just hover to another clear spot rather than do an 'overshoot'. One day we will know the 'required minimum fuel for F-35B VL' - I'll be sure to post it.
The point in the article about 'sweating the fuel' and never running out of fuel deliberately and suffer dire consequences (loss of wings) is a good one. SHAR pilots were used to approaching with this small fuel amount and they landed VL every time - guaranteed.
BTW the SHAR pilot had to manage other factors such as use of the water and any maximum EGT time successfully. Using the 'shiney lever' (nozzle control) they worked like 'one armed wallpaper hangers'.
'STOP then LAND' was their motto.

Given the choice, the F-35B will operate primarily from it's mother ship which provides all the conveniences and comforts of home. Not to say it won't deploy to a FOB if the situation warrants.

For those without 'mother' then distributed austere 'off airfield' ops in a wartime emergency are what is envisaged.
In the meantime looking for previous discussions about 'F-35B min. fuel for V.L.s' I found this bit of info - which applies to specific ship situations. Other ships with other island configurations will have different stbd crosswind limitations etc. Anyhoo.... It is an example of why there is a realistic minimum fuel to cater for 'the unexpected'. However I stress any flat deck ship will know what is required to avoid bad burble situations for an approaching F-35B. Similarly conventional USN carrier aircraft have to fly through the 'island burble' or any other burble to deck land and the carrier knows the limits for WOD to help minimise burble effects.
DOTE Report Jan 2012 F-35 Section:
http://s3.documentcloud.org/documents/2 ... r-from.pdf
Air System-Ship Integration and Ship Suitability Testing
• F-35B.
The program accomplished the first of two STOVL developmental test ship trials on the USS Wasp in October with test aircraft BF-2 and BF-4. The testing focused on developing initial short take-offs and vertical landings in the initial flight envelopes for deck operations, performing initial ship compatibility assessments, and collecting environmental data from instrumented ship locations. Seventy-two short take-offs and vertical landings were completed during the 19-day deployment in conditions of up to 33 knots of wind-over-deck and
10 knots of starboard crosswind
Air System-Ship Integration and Ship Suitability Testing
• The F-35B initial ship trials on USS Wasp supported initial short take-off and vertical landing envelope expansion efforts for shipboard operations with data collected as planned across a portion of the wind-over-deck conditions.
As expected, high starboard crosswinds produced the most challenging environment. One approach to hover prior to a vertical landing was waved off by the pilot due to turbulence in the ship's airwake
Same report mentions 'min. fuel' in usual vague way:
"...• The vertical lift bring-back requirement is a primary STOVL-mode attribute and is a Key Performance Parameter (KPP). It is the weight of a
minimum fuel quantity
and other necessary payload needed to safely recover the aircraft on the ship after an operational mission, plus a representative weapons payload...."

OOoops! I misrembered the minimum fuel for the SHAR - it is 1,000 lbs with fuel warning flashing at 500 lbs as per:
Lockheed: Many F-35B landings won't be vertical
From this thread:
A Skyhawk Pilots Guide to Sea Harrier
by LCDR Dave Ramsay RAN 1983
"...The undercarriage arrangement of centreline mainwheels and wingtip outriggers is necessitated by the engine and nozzle positions....
...Our normal criteria is to land from a hover when the fuel low level warning flashes (at 500 lb) and to aim to be downwind with a minimum of 1,000 lbs so all pilots are used to flying with low fuel levels – and you don't bolter in this aircraft....
...The way it works is this:- you drive on around the circuit and point at your landing pad at 165Kts, gear and flap down and 40° nozzles selected. Power will be about 65% and the hoons amongst us will drive on in like this until the very last possible moment, then use full braking stop to decelerate. I myself sedately take the hover stop at about 0.8Nm. So now all the thrust points down and the slick aerodynamic qualities of the Harrier manifest themselves as a marked deceleration. This in turn means wing lift is decreasing (attitude is held constant at 8 units AOA) so you increase power to keep the ground at bay. It is a fact of life that as you decellerate through 90Kts the lack of wing lift and the trim change induced control inputs require an engine power and therefore JPT that is pretty well just what you will have in a nice steady hover...."
Same thread as above on this page has me rabbiting on about 'min. fuel' - scroll down:

Thanks Spaz, another question if I may. What is the glide ratio of a F-35B making a vertical landing with zero fuel?

Best description of how engine works for STOVL ops from:
http://www.f-16.net/index.php?name=PNph ... mum#178042
A Flexible Jet Fighter
Article - Issue 41, Dec 2009 Neil Mehta
http://www.ingenia.org.uk/ingenia/issue ... /Mehta.pdf
http://www.ingenia.org.uk/ingenia/artic ... ?Index=576
(same article online)
Excerpt: "
For short take-off, the 3BSM is swivelled downwards, the roll post nozzles are opened and the clutch is engaged, the power of the main engine is increased and the LiftFan begins to produce thrust. As the F-35B accelerates it is lifted into the air by downward thrust from a combination of its LiftFan, the 3BSM and two roll-posts and within seconds it reaches the point where its wing provides all the lift it needs to fly conventionally. At this point, the drive to the LiftFan is disengaged, the 3BSM is swivelled rearwards and the roll post nozzles are closed allowing 100% of the main engine's power to be delivered through the rear nozzle.
As the F-35B prepares for a vertical landing
, thrust from its main engine is decreased, the clutch is engaged and the LiftFan begins to spool-up to close to 100% speed in readiness to provide downward thrust the moment it is required. But although the LiftFan is rotating at 100%, it must produce the absolute minimum of vertical thrust to avoid creating an unwanted pitch-up effect on the aircraft during the critical approach-to-landing phase.
This is an entirely novel challenge. Normally a fan running at 100% speed will produce 100% thrust. The LiftFan, however, must only begin to deliver its thrust when the pilot selects nozzles-down for short take-off or vertical landing.
Our solution has been to use the guide vanes at the front of the LiftFan's inlet. We have designed these to operate at variable angles, constantly adjusting to optimise airflow into the LiftFan's intake. As the F-35B slows for its transition from forward flight to hover, the LiftFan's transmission system is engaged and within 10 seconds spools-up to 100% speed in readiness for instant power delivery. Its inlet guide vanes are closed, reducing airflow and minimising thrust. At the instant when downward thrust is needed from the LiftFan, the guide vanes begin to open. For 100% thrust they open fully."

The F-35B 'landing circuit' described here I believe mimics USMC Harrier Ops but this method is not the way of old RN FAA SHAR Ops (even though the reporter uses 'CVF'). However the final approach method - on finals - would be the same in both cases (USMC/RN). From very long thread at page:

Preparing for take-off: UK ramps up F-35 carrier integration effort
"A range of simulation, modelling, risk-reduction and technology-demonstration activities are under way to optimise the safety and operability of the ship/air interface between the UK's new aircraft carriers and the F-35B Joint Strike Fighters that will operate from them. Richard Scott reports
BAE Systems' lead test pilot Graham Tomlinson is at the controls of the F-35B Lightning II, the short take-off, vertical-landing (STOVL) variant of the Joint Strike Fighter (F-35). Up ahead he sees the wake, and then the large grey bulk, of HMS Queen Elizabeth, the first of the UK Royal Navy's (RN's) two new 65,000-tonne displacement Future Carrier (CVF) vessels.
Flying to Visual Flight Rules (VFR), Tomlinson is in a 'slot' designated by the ship's Flyco (Flying Control) as he prepares to recover to the carrier deck. Overflying the starboard side of Queen Elizabeth at an altitude of 600 ft in wingborne flight, he then banks the aircraft to roll out on a reciprocal heading (approximately 1.5 n miles abeam the ship) to perform the visual circuit.
Towards the end of the turn, having throttled back to bring the aircraft to a speed below 250 kt, Tomlinson presses a single switch on the right-hand sidestick controller to transition the F-35B to STOVL flight mode.
During conversion, the doors covering the lift fan and surrounding the three-bearing swivel duct automatically open and both propulsion effectors vector to an appropriate angle.
At the end of the conversion, the aircraft is configured for semi-jetborne flight. Tomlinson selects landing gear down in readiness for recovery.
He now initiates a final descending turn shortly after passing the stern of Queen Elizabeth, rolling out onto
the same heading as the ship at a range of approximately 1.5 n miles. Using the glide slope and line-up cues provided by the ship's visual landing aids, together with helmet-mounted display symbology, the aircraft comes onto a three-degree decelerating approach before being brought to a stabilised hover, at the same forward speed as the carrier, alongside the designated deck landing spot.
Tomlinson now translates laterally, from abeam, to reposition his aircraft over the landing spot, using the longitudinal and lateral deck markings for line-up (the correct hover height is indicated by the Height Indicator and Hover Aid Thermometer [HIHAT] fixed to the forward island).
The aircraft descends vertically onto the flight deck and once safely on board Tomlinson is directed to taxi clear of the landing runway to a specified parking spot...."

'allowcoyboy' asks
: "Thanks Spaz, another question if I may. What is the glide ratio of a F-35B making a vertical landing with zero fuel?"
I would suggest that if said F-35B is over a suitable surface at 'zero' altitude there is nowt to worry about. At some point the 'dead engine' glide characteristics of all the F-35s will be tested (already we have seen engine relights tested) whether they continue to a windmilling engine landing on a long runway I have no idea. Probably bricks glide better although every now and then I see video of an F-16 dead engine landing (one did not work out well for some reason).
I wonder if auto eject is actuated with zero fuel in certain F-35B scenarios? Anyway an F-35B is not a helicopter doing auto rotations.
