"The people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world are the ones who do. "
Honda's HondaJet
It's been a long wait.
The HondaJet grew out of a research project that began in 1986. The all-composite MH02 featured an above-wing engine mount and a forward-swept wing. It first flew in 1993. With that research in hand, Honda went back to the drawing board and 10 years later the first HondaJet prototype took to the skies. Today, the 420-knot, $4.5 million entry-level twinjet is well on its way to certification in 2013. The manufacturer expects the five- to six-passenger jet to be certified for single-pilot operation and to have a range of 1,180 nautical miles, an initial climb rate of 4,000 feet per minute and a maximum altitude of 43,000 feet. Honda claims the aircraft has 15 to 20 percent greater fuel efficiency and faster speed than competing models.
A fleet of conformal test aircraft (that look almost identical to the prototype that has been flying since 2003) is currently racking up hours. More than 600 employees are working at Honda's massive 83-acre Greensboro, N.C. campus, which has 500,000 square feet under roof and should be able to turn out 70 to 100 aircraft per year when production is fully ramped up. The first two years of production are already sold out.
The HondaJet uses a carbon fiber composite fuselage mated to metal wings. The appearance is unconventional, featuring over-wing engine pylons, thin natural laminar flow wings, porpoise-like nose and raked cockpit side windows. The design yields more speed; more luggage space; and a larger, quieter cabin with less vibration. The over-wing pylons reduce drag and eliminate the need to contour the aft fuselage. Honda is currently showing one cabin configuration: a single-place, side-facing divan opposite the entry door followed by club-four seating and an aft-cabin lavatory with privacy door. The aircraft's interior features upscale automotive accents, such as high-tech plating that runs the length of the cabin.
Other possible configurations include substituting a small refreshment area, cabinets and a closet for the single, side-facing seat; and an all-forward-facing seat layout for air-taxi operations. The color/fabric palette for the interior will initially consist of four to five possible combinations. Honda is using high-performance computers and software to create virtual-reality, high-resolution pictures of the cabin in different colors and fabrics and is continuing to collect customer preference data.
Honda engineers worked with the theory that each passenger requires about 60 cubic feet and that the seat pitch angle needs to be such that passengers' feet don't overlap when they're seated in the club-four facing seats. Passenger legroom is generous.
Key suppliers for the HondaJet include GE Honda Aero Engines for the HF120 engines (2,050 pounds of thrust each); Garmin for the G3000 touchscreen avionics; and Emteq for its SkyPro HD IFE and cabin-management system, which features Audio/Video on Demand, interactive 3-D moving map, exterior camera and wireless cabin control of lighting and monochromatic window shades at each seat via passengers' personal electronic devices. With the SiriusXM satellite radio option, passengers can select station presets at individual seats.
While the prototype has been flying for many years, it wasn't until March 2011 that a conforming test model achieved the design speed and altitude numbers at a weight equivalent to that of an aircraft with a finished interior and passengers.
A few glitches have caused delays. The HF120 engines initially failed ice-ingestion tests, forcing a costly redesign of engine fan blades that set the development schedule back almost a year. While the new blades are only slightly thicker, the redesign forced Honda to repeat much of the testing it had performed on the original blades. The redesign was also complicated by the fact that the engine fan is made from a blisk or single forging that includes all the blades and the fan hub.
HondaJets will be sold through a network of dealerships that are expected to construct customer sales and service centers to company standards–much the same way Honda sells automobiles. To date, the company has announced dealers in Tallahassee, Fla.; Des Moines, Iowa; Phoenix, Ariz.; Salt Lake City, Utah; Greensboro, N.C.; Toluca, Mexico; Madrid, Spain; Munich, Germany; Toronto, Montreal and Calgary, Canada; and Farnborough, UK. In addition, Honda will open a $20 million maintenance, repair and overhaul center in 2013 on its North Carolina campus. The company also plans to put its complete HondaJet parts catalog on the Internet.
Honda has begun manufacturing customer aircraft. Expect to see one soon at an airport near you.
At a Glance
Price: $4.5 million
Passengers: 5-6
Crew: 2
Maximum cruising speed: 420 knots
Range: 1,180 nm*
Cabin Length: 17 ft 8 in
Cabin Width: 5 ft
Cabin Height: 4.94 ft
Cabin Volume: 860 cu ft
*NBAA IFR reserves, four passengers Source: Honda Aircraft. All figures preliminary.
A very determined, methodical and successful technology R&D effort transitioned into a product. Its more than a Honda Jet its a product manufacturing system as well as a service and support system all done as part of the product package.
It took over 25 years depending on where we mark the beginning. Only the resources and will of Honda can have got this plane ready for manufacturing and its reputation will give the international aviation market confidence. Were all the years of R&D strictly necessary, who knows, perhaps it's probably the time it took to get their entire management structure familiarized and comfortable making the numerous decisions needed for the product and processes involved.
Obviously they made the investment to entrench themselves in aviation. The payoff will come from a whole line of products (engines & airplanes) developed off the tech platform developed.
Good luck for product success.
While it is an elegant jet, and clearly going to be supported well, I am really surprised that it has come out with only 1180 nm NBAA range. This is not a lot and at the $4.5m plus options price range this aircraft is up against others like the Nextant 400XT with 2000 nm.
Obama and his team could have done a much more reliable roll out.
As the other commenter mentioned, this aircraft has taken decades to develop and probably many billions of Honda Corporate dollars. The airplane is an interesting design with modern materials, but why did it take so much longer to get type certification than originally estimated? I've heard employee turnover is pretty high and I read that some of their test pilots don't even have technical or engineering degrees. Would this add to the schedule over-run? You would think they could find qualified people to flight test their aircraft. I hope they figure out a way to not lose too much money on each aircraft that rolls out the door. Its a tough business they are in.

More With Less?
When IT is seen as just a cost center, the business loses. Yet many CIOs are barely keeping their budgets flat; some must even absorb cuts. It's hard to innovate when you're scraping to pay for basic security.
We heard from 513 business technology professionals in our InformationWeek 2013 IT Spending Priorities Survey. All are involved with setting, managing or having a working knowledge of at least some part of their organizations' IT budgets, and overall, the picture is grim:
>> 58% have improving security on their project lists for this year, compared with just 24% aiming to build or enhance an analytics, business intelligence or decision-support system.
>> 43% say their 2013 budgets will remain about the same as in 2012. Of the 39% seeing increases, most will get less than 10%.
>> 40% have more rigorous scrutiny of their project spending than other business units do; just 12% say oversight is less rigorous.
>> 13% say their 2013 budgets will reflect decreases from 2012; for 56% of them, cuts will be 10% or greater, with 17% seeing hits of 20% or more.
In this report we:
>> Examine the fallout when IT is reduced to just "keeping the lights on"
>> Discuss ways to break the cycle
Respondent breakdown: 35% have 5,000 or more employees; 25% are over 10,000. Education, financial services and government are well-represented, and 58% are IT director/manager or IT executive management (C-level/VP) level. (R6840513)

Bu mülk için yapılan yorumlar
On the positive side : Sahan is a welcoming hostess who spent time explaining and showing me around the house and surrounding area. Also the location of the house is good as Besiktas is an interesting and lively area and not overloaded with tourists.
The not so good aspects of the accommodation is that the rooms are not comfortable. There is a definite damp problem. You have to have the dehumidifier on all the time (noisy) otherwise you will smell
damp even in August!
All the house is shabby and not tastefully updated as it was claimed in the website. The bathroom is small damp and dark. It was added to the room lately which made the room much smaller.

I go back and forth on whether or not my quack sounds realistic. It seems that there are so many opinions, it's hard to know who to listen to. Some people say to "growl" in the call while others say that is not realistic. What are your thoughts? Any suggestions on how you all make a single quack when calling ducks would be very much appreciated!

Take the call and put it to your lips like you would a coke bottle. Obviously you can't muffle your hand, so as you quack, open up your hand. You will have to put some voice into the call, but when you open up your hand, you allow some back-pressure to help you out and get some rattle. The word I say is "hut". Say it in a deep voice like a QB would say it. This brings warm air from your stomach rather than cold air from your throat. Simple test...blow air from your cheeks on your hand...you will feel it is cold, but, pretend like your fogging up glasses, and you will feel the air is warmer. That is because the air is coming from your diaphragm.

I was taught to use "wick" as my call word, as Ben said, make sure to use your diaphragm. Forcing a word, whether it is "hut" or "wick" or "hoot" at the same time using your diaphragm gives the call a growl. The most difficult thing for me to learn was actually saying the word and using my diaphragm, it's just not a natural communication technique for us and took a while to get, for me at least. There's a lit of good videos on YouTube that you can use if you don't have a buddy who is teaching you.

Similar to cckiltflies, I was taught to say quit into my call using my diaphragm. As I was learning, I often got very frustrated and switched to a double reed call which made a world of a difference. You might wanna consider doing the same.

Research: 2014 Federal Government IT Priorities
A raft of White House directives and budget proposals over the past year has added pressure on federal agencies to make government information more accessible and secure -- and do it all with fewer resources. Legislators, meanwhile, have been drumming up various bills aimed at getting the government to better manage the more than $80 billion it spends annually on IT and related services. For federal IT leaders, however, the list of priorities remains far more complex than what's emanating from either end of Pennsylvania Avenue, according to InformationWeek's new Federal Government IT Priorities Survey. (R7090813)
Survey Name InformationWeek 2013 Federal Government IT Priorities Survey
Survey Date June 2013
Region United States
Number of Respondents 155
Purpose To determine IT priorities for federal government technology professionals and contractors.
Methodology InformationWeek surveyed 155 federal government technology decision makers. The survey was conducted online, and respondents were recruited via an email invitation containing an embedded link to the survey. The email invitation was sent to qualified InformationWeek and InformationWeek Government subscribers.

When It No Longer Pays to Follow Your Dreams
"Think outside the box..."
"Follow your heart and pursue your passions..."
"Don't be afraid to roll the dice..."
Wonderful bromides: they're the staple of every haughty high school and elite university commencement address. "Graduation Bingo" smart phone apps now allow ADD-addled grads to track the beneficent buzzwords as they flow from the august speaker's silvery tongues.
The only problem: it's all a bunch of baloney!
For every hedge fund millionaire and Silicon Alley billionaire pontificating from the podium, there are thousands -- no, tens of thousands -- of talented individuals who follow the be-an-iconoclast advice, roll the dice, and come up snake eyes.
This template is especially treacherous when applied to middle-aged professionals trying to recalibrate their careers in the post-recession, "new-normal" environment. To wit, a displaced corporate lender with twenty years experience at a money center bank has almost no realistic chance of reinventing herself as an entrepreneur or, worse yet, an independent consultant.
Yet the start-a-business "arrow" is the first that traditional career counselors pull from their quivers. And why not; it's easy advice to both give and receive. Who doesn't want to be told to dream their dream? Sadly, the only people who profit from such advice are the printers who create the cringe-making business cards that read something like "Joe Bloggs; CEO, JB Consulting, LLC" followed by a mobile phone number and a suburban address that clearly represents Joe's dining room table.
In short, the bored insurance salesman who wants to open a bar; the under-employed Mom who dreams of launching an event planning business; and the down-sized executive who's determined to invest his severance in a fast food franchise would all be better off to spend their money on an low-glamour -- but low-beta -- effort like completing a certificate program in forensic accounting, or compliance, or tax planning.
Graduation speeches are over; real life prevails. The die that you roll when you think about chucking it all and starting a business is not six sided -- it's 100-sided. Now is a time when mid-career professionals would be well-served to think inside the box.
1.) Listen to David McCullough "You Are Not Special" Wellesley High School 2012 commencement address -- the quintessential speech of the "new normal."
2.) During your next brain-numbing conference call, refer to your employer's "Careers" web page. Spend at least 30 minutes to determine the following: which departments are hiring aggressively; what skills do these jobs require; which of these skills do you possess; and how could you obtain the skills needed to qualify for these in-demand jobs?
3.) Bookmark this post and forward it to the next person who bloviates about founding the next Facebook or KKR.

To save you the hassle of ordering the wrong size for your body, here's a simple way to get accurate measurements of yourself.
Grab a tape measure and stand in front of a full-length mirror. Be sure to take your measurements undressed or in your underwear only.
Stand straight and pull the tape measure close to your body, but not too tight!
For best and more accurate results, have a friend take the measurements for you.
We understand that not being able to physically try on our garments can be hard when making your purchase. If you are unhappy with the size or fit of your purchase you can return it for an online credit note to purchase something else, as long as it meets all our return policy requirements.
Please refer to our "RETURNS" section for further information.
Measure the bust line at the fullest part of your chest. Stand naturally with your heels together and arms resting by the side of your body. Position the tape so that it covers the widest part of your back and the fullest part of your chest.
Place your hands at your natural waistline. This is where the tape should be positioned. If you cannot find your natural waist, stand with your feet slightly apart and bend to the side. Where your waist creases is the natural waist.
Stand naturally with your heels together in a relaxed pose. Measure with the tape

The battle between dogs and cats is as old as time - the two just aren't meant to get along, right? Many pet owners have found that their feline and canine pets can establish deep connections with each other, despite the common misconception that these species can't be friends.
The two animals have the best chance of getting along if you introduce a kitten to an adult dog, or if you're raising puppies and kittens simultaneously. If you already have a cat, you might be anxious to add a puppy to your family, fearing your feline friend might develop some cat behavior problems like aggression, or that she'll simply hide and be unhappy all the time.
Fortunately, there are certain dog breeds that get along better with felines than others. Here are some who have a good track record of canine-feline friendships.
When size matters
Cats may be more accepting of smaller dogs because, quite simply, they aren't as physically imposing as larger dogs. However, small dogs do have a reputation for feistiness, and dog barking can be a problem for them. Despite these seemingly un-cat-friendly traits, some breeds are known for befriending their feline counterparts.
Pomeranians, which grow to be just 3 to 7 pounds, are known for their confidence and intelligence. This means they can be trained to respect a cat but will not become too fearful of the feline, either, Animal Planet reports. The Shih Tzu and Maltese are eager to please, meaning you can employ certain puppy training techniques to provide peace to your cat.
Cat-loving dogs - not an oxymoron
Chihuahuas and Cavalier King Charles Spaniels are two breeds that are actually known for befriending cats. Chihuahuas have been known to enjoy sharing space with cats, and even curling up with them, the news outlet reports. King Charles Spaniels actually just like smaller creatures, and tend to be more interested in playing with cats than chasing them. They are also quick to respect an older cat's authority by nature.
Considering a breed's roots
You can consider a dog's size and temperament, but its natural instincts - instincts for which it was bred - might hold the most clout in determining how it will interact with felines. Dogs who were bred to chase and hunt small game or herd other animals - like most terriers, border collies, and corgis - might be more inclined to chase or intimidate your cat, which usually does not go over well.

I've been having a long-running, so far fruitless debate with some Catholics (most recently Sue Ianni) who argue that the constitutionally-protected "free exercise of religion" requires employers have the freedom to deny contraception coverage in their employee health insurance policies.� I may be wrong – and I'm sure someone will correct me if that's the case – but I assume this stems from a religious obligation placed upon Catholics either prevent others from sinning or refuse to collaborate in their sinning.� Why the employee compensation in the form of health insurance is a different degree of complicity from employee compensation in the form of cash remains a mystery. Should a devout Catholic not buy a car from someone he has reason to think might spend it on birth control? Beats me.
But another question occurs to me. Jehovah's Witnesses, I recently read, have a strong religious objection to blood transfusions.� I've seen nothing to indicate they are called to impose this restriction on others, but what if they did?� What if, as an example, the CEO of WalMart was a Jehovah's Witness, and decided his religion required him to prevent any of the company's 1.4 million U.S. employees from getting blood transfusions.� Would the First Amendment protect his right to do so?

Pay homage to the Festival of Lights with an update on traditional Hanukkah fare.
Hanukkah commemorates miracles and victories over insurmountable odds. For this reason alone, the celebration deserves more than a lone stack of latkes and a jar of store-bought applesauce. As candles are lit for the eight nights of the Festival of Lights, celebrating a handful of Jewish rebels who ousted the�Syrian Greek army from Israel and restored the Holy Temple, it�s only fitting to sit down to a proper feast. To bring a trendy twist to the meal, serve this rich, fruit-enhanced brisket over hot, fluffy couscous with some lightly saut�ed, garlicky green beans on the side.

Buckle-Up America and Click
It or Ticket mobilizations remind area residents
that safety should be everyone's top priority; and these annual state and
nationwide safety campaigns encourage everyone on the road to use seat belts
and child safety seats and use them properly.
"Seatbelts are the most important lifesaving equipment in your vehicle,
but they only work if you take the time to use them correctly, states RaeAnn
Tucker-Marshall, Health Department Director of Public Information. It only
takes a second to snap the buckle on a seat belt, but the benefits can last
you a lifetime."
Since the Illinois primary safety belt law was enacted, safety belt
compliance has jumped over 15 percent from 76.2 percent in 2003 to 92.6
percent in 2010.
The Department Staff also offers the following facts to local drivers:
* Law enforcement will be out in force both Day and Night to remind the
Illinois residents that are not buckling up, to wear their safety belts -
every trip, every time!
* Over 400 Illinois Law enforcement agencies, in addition to the
Illinois State Police, will be writing tickets during the Click It or Ticket
* As the #1 leading cause of death and disability for Americans between
the ages of 4 and 34, motor vehicle crashes are a serious public health
* Safety belts, when used, reduce the risk of fatal injury to front-seat
passenger car occupants by 45 percent, and by 60 percent in pickup trucks,
SUVs and minivans.
* The average cost for a critically injured survivor of a motor vehicle
crash is estimated at $1.1 million over a lifetime.

We cannot begin to express our thanks to Sherri and the staff at IslaMar Villas for our wonderful 11-night stay. This was our third time staying at IslaMar Villas and for us it's the only place to stay in Cozumel. It has truly become our home away from home. We love the apartments, the courtyard and pool, and the warm and friendly neighborhood.
We also used "COZUMELINSIDER" to book our car rental with Avis. It went very smoothly and you guys also helped us trade in our little Chevy Pop for something a little bigger.
A big THANK YOU to Sherri for introducing us to a wonderful private driver on the mainland and for arranging our excursion to Playa del Carmen, Tulum, and Akumal. We were so happy that we decided to finally venture off the island and go to the mainland to see the ruins. The driver Sherri arranged for us was extremely friendly and went above and beyond to make sure we saw things we wouldn't have even known about had we taken the car ferry and driven on our own. To anyone looking for a private tour of places on the mainland, we highly recommend asking Sherri to arrange it for you. It was well worth it!
Thank you again, Sherri! Your kindness and warm hospitality makes us choose IslaMar Villas and your services over and over again.
R & M Browning ~ Superior, CO
Sherri ~ WOW!!! We just returned from our cruise! What a wonderful time we had!! Your COZUMELINSIDER.com bookings for our Dolphin snorkel adventure and Sea Trek were the highlight of the cruise. They were easy and saved us about half the cost of booking through the cruise line. We simply hopped into a cab and spent the day at the Park (we could have spent a week there.) They were even able to work us into the Sea Trek early. All the people were friendly, helpful and overall just treated us great. While we were standing around waiting a short little man came up and ask if we wanted a snorkel tour. I instantly remembered what you had said and looked at his name tag. It was Mario! His tour was fantastic! If you see him ask him if he remembers Señor Ed and his family (he never caught that my name was Ted, but thats okay!) I had a waterproof digital camera and he snapped lots of pictures of us. We had a wonderful time and much of it was thanks to you, your website and staff!
I know you probably get lots of pictures but I had to send you three. Look at the smiles on my boys faces. That says it all! Thank you so much for all your help and advice. We cant wait to return. Your website is the first place we will stop! I wish we could have met in person. We will next time!
T. Mahler Family ~ Howe ,TX
Hello, I will visit the island next weekend. I just want to thank you and your staff who make this website, because I´ve been checking a lot of websites, even those Trip Advisor, and yours has been much more useful to plan this trip. Specially because it has links to official websites from local beaches, tips about prices and ways to get somewhere. Good job! I´ll write again to tell you about the experience.
C. Quijano (Feb. 2015) ~ Mexico
Hey ~ I just wanted to follow up and say what a great time we had swimming with the whale sharks. I also wanted to commend our tour guide Cesar. He was very knowledgeable of the people, the land, the culture, and the history. I would highly recommend him to anybody wanting to tour Mexico.
Thanks again for all of your help,
Matt Brosh ~ Austin, Texas
We just got back from Cozumel and the best thing we did was the Sea Turtle Release with FP&M. They were very educational and not just about the turtles. We were so excited to be able to hold the babies and set them free. Watching them bob their heads out of the water to breathe was quite a sight! Digging for them was enchanting, like finding buried treasure! Thanks to COZUMELINSIDER for helping us make this happen!

Perfect for a large border, what a show of flowers! Clusters of bright pink flowers with yellow centers on sturdy stems and hairy green leaves adorn this bold New England Aster. Pairs well with ornamental grasses.
Asters provide a nectar source for butterflies as well as a host plant for their larvae. Clusters of daisy-like flowers are produced at the tips of branching stems and create a stunning display against the dark green foliage.
New England Asters form robust semi-woody clumps that bloom from late summer into fall. Each flowering branch is covered with blossoms creating a stunning display against the dark green foliage. Tolerant of moist, well-drained soil conditions. Very durable and long lasting. Mildew resistant. Asters support bees and butterflies right up until season's end.
Pinch back and divide like mums for best display. General rule of thumb is to pinch until 4th of July and not after. Pinching yields better branching and more flowers. Can be divided every 2-3 years in spring. Avoid wet overwintering conditions. Remove spent flowers to prevent reseeding.
Our plants are all grown in plantable fiber pots that grow incredibly vigorous plants, eliminate transplant shock, and are 100% biodegradable. They have tremendous advantages over plastic pots.

Skip to comments.ST. LUCIE COUNTY CANVASSING BOARD ORDERS RETABULATION OF ALL EARLY VOTES IN ALLEN WEST RACE
Posted on 11/16/2012 6:41:44 PM PST by smoothsailing
click here to read article
Good news, thanks.
Never give up.
Is that sufficient?
The Dems must feel confident they've manufactured plenty enough votes in the meantime to emerge victorious.
In the new count, West loses by 75% to 24%
There is no way in hell that punk got more votes than colonel West. If he did, this country is in even more trouble than most of us think.
Remember ME?
I pray West wins!!!
But will this continue?
The other story said a "judge" - appointed by which party? - denied West's case.
The judge left it up the Canvassing Board because he did not have the authority to demand a recount beyond the requirements of State law.
It may put West in the lead.
It may put it within .5% which would trigger and election wide recount.
Go Wast go!
Hoping some indictments of the fraud come out as well. One election like this could result in much needed security for our elections.
Here we go!
Didn't I read 140% of registered voters cast a ballot in this county?
Do you know if they are mostly military ballots?
Needs to be a national recount.
Prayers up for Colonel West.
A 2-1 vote? Who's the turd who voted no?
Has anyone posted the totals from the military and overseas ballots? Some had to be hand transferred in order to be counted by machine. I thought they were to be counted at this session.
When will the totals be matched to the number of voters who signed the log books? This is not close to being over!
Murphy plans to fight it. With a process as obviously snarfled [in lieu of a more descriptive term], a recount should be a no-brainer.
Thanks much for the ping.
When you read that huge total think total pages counted and a two page ballot. (We had 10 Constitutional amendments and about a total 6 foot ballot this time.) Voters are 1/2 the total. 70% of eligible voters is in line with national results.
That came from a mis-read of an admittedly confusing report. The Florida ballot was two two-sided pages due to so many Constitutional amendments up for consideration. 70% turnout times two sheets each resulted in the 140% figure. Of all the things going wrong in St Lucie County, that's not one of them.
Are you considering going down there?
That was misleading. The voters were issued a two-page ballot and the county reported the number of pages voted (which was slightly less than 2 pgs/voter, as a few voters only voted one page and overlooked the other).
Actual voter turnout was more like 70% -- which is still suspiciously high for the county.
Do not celebrate prematurely. One must be cynical, the left would not have voted for it unless they already did a recount sub rosa and a fix.Too much time has gone by , to really guarantee that the ballots were kept securely.
I hope I am wrong, but I do not trust the left. They are fascists now, and few people understand what that means in terms of electoral process. It simply means we have no chance of free and fair elections, the ends justify the means.This has been true all across the country, some jurisdictions have had 148% voter turnout, and there is nary a whimper, its being shrugged off.
We now live in an estate of fascism with pockets of freedom here and there.
Of course this does nothing to check how many of those that voted were actually citizens.
Does anybody here have any idea what percentage of the black votes West got?
Your 148% need to be divided roughly in half. See the explanation up thread.
For what it's worth:
St. Lucie will recount early votes in Murphy-West race
During Friday nights meeting, elections staffers wheeled out boxes containing 306 ballots that had not been counted. The ballots were ones in which voters marked at least one write-in candidates and had been segregated from the other ballots.
Meanwhile, West and Murphy broke even in the count of overseas ballots by canvassing boards of all three counties Friday night.
West won 34 overseas votes to Murphys 29 in Palm Beach County, three to Murphys five in Martin and three to Murphys six in St. Lucie.
After their counts of overseas ballots Friday, the Palm Beach and Martin canvassing boards both certified their final votes to the state.

It hasn't been published. But I'll hazard a guess...
Virtually none.
Only one lone precinct in that entire County reported in at a believable 69% turnout( the next level was 118%) of eligible registered voters, as having voted.
So- is the Supervisor of Elections merely an incompetent jerk(ess), or is she guilty of more serious crimes?
It's either only one or the other.
Hot damn. Good for a republican standing up for a recount. Why are the lost ballots always found in the back of democrat cars?

The recount is taking place in St Lucie County and has nothing to do with the results in the other counties.
The boxes where in the SOE office.
Write-in ballots in the SOE office. A week after the election.
I hope video w/audio is rolling like crazy there. If I lived near there I WOULD BE THERE.
Who knows what the 'chain of custody' of the ballots in St. Lucie County is.
Good point.
Urging all Tea Party supporters to push for Allen West as Speaker of the House.
>> It may put it within .5% which would trigger and election wide recount.
That makes sense. Thanks!

Skip to comments.The Government Generously Offers To Help You "Manage Your Retirement Account
Posted on 02/02/2013 7:29:39 PM PST by Perdogg
Via Michael Krieger of Liberty Blitzkrieg blog,
[ZH: We have discussed this threat over the past several years (must read).] The obvious concept is that when the government runs out of money, or they face a drying up in interest for its debt, they will come for the $19.4 trillion in Americans retirement accounts. It seems that day may be finally drawing near.
I stopped contributing to my 401k back when I worked at Bernstein, and I will probably now have to give more serious consideration whether I want to take the penalty and move the funds out of my retirement account entirely. I havent made any decisions, but will be watching closely.
Im sure the government is just trying to protect your retirement account from terrorists.
From Bloomberg:
The U.S. Consumer Financial Protection Bureau is weighing whether it should take on a role in helping Americans manage the $19.4 trillion they have put into retirement savings, a move that would be the agencys first foray into consumer investments.
Thats one of the things weve been exploring and are interested in in terms of whether and what authority we have, bureau director Richard Cordray said in an interview. He didnt provide additional details.
The bureaus core concern is that many Americans, notably those from the retiring Baby Boom generation, may fall prey to financial scams, according to three people briefed on the CFPBs deliberations who asked not to be named because the matter is still under discussion.
The Securities and Exchange Commission and the Department of Labor are the main regulators of U.S. retirement savings vehicles and funds. However, the consumer bureau established by the 2010 Dodd-Frank Act sees itself as a potential catalyst for promoting a coherent policy across the government, the people said.
If someone could take the hit- so far as penalties and taxes- and cashed out, where would be a good place to put their money?
If they really want CW-II, they can try that.
Said the government flim-flam man with his government scam.
6 months ago, I would have said ammo.... but there isn't any on the open market anymore. My .22LR have appreciated 500% since I bought them.
From the article:
"The bureaus core concern is that many Americans, notably those from the retiring Baby Boom generation, may fall prey to financial scams . . ."
I've already fallen prey to one financial scam - it's called Social Security.
By coincidence, it turns out the amount I've put in my private retirement account almost exactly matches the amounts contributed by me and my employer in FICA. Yet present projections are that my private account will pay on my retirement almost *twice* what Social Security will - *and* that includes preservation of my principal for my heirs.
The last thing I want is those sharks anywhere near my individual retirement funds.
physical commodities, underground bunker with air filtration, self defense necessities.
Your matress. Also, at least part of it denominated in another currency.
If someone could take the hit- so far as penalties and taxes- and cashed out, where would be a good place to put their money?There's no good place.
Wherever you put it, they'll come after it.
Yeah...ponzi scams like like Social Security....
One option is numismatically significant gold and silver coins.
Just like they protected people who had money parked at MF Global?
Thank God Almighty, safe at last, the government regulators are here to help.
Hot dog. What a great idea.
But but but....
Tell me of a bigger scam than social security. That makes Murdof look like a totally incompetent crook.
"The bureaus core concern is that many Americans, notably those from the retiring Baby Boom generation, may fall prey to financial scams"
If it's gold, bury it and booby-trap the hell out of it.
Then let the government brownshirts come after it.
I have wondered the same thing myself. I wonder how much gold and silver are worth in areas where mass famine is happening. I think our economy is being crashed intentionally to prove the free market does not work. They think they can control chaos to impose communism/progressive end goals/people's republic utopia. I think they can crash things, but I don't think they have the capability to achieve anything. We will be like Zimbabwe if people don't wise up by the 2014 election.
"We're the Government, and we're here to help you."

Cool, sort of like hiring a reformed hacker to be head of cybersecurity. They're certainly in a position to know about financial scams, but it's the "reformed" part that worries me.
The first thing a con artist must do before pulling off the con....convince you that he cares about you.
Good land. Land with timber, farming or hunting lease potential. You can live there, farm it, grow veggies, lease it, cut firewood, sell timber or just sit on it until you can sell it once again for the same relative value or greater.
You need the gold to store your wealth until the collapse has stabilized. You need the brass and lead to survive the collapse.
That's a line.
Thieves are fair game.
Like that ponzi scheme Social Security!?
I hear you and have thought about it. The brass and lead thing I agree with. With gold, I really don't know. Historically it has been valued, but if we were plunged into 100s of years of "dark ages" would gold be valuable during the dark ages or would barter of useful items be more useful?
Hopefully 2014 gives Barry the Userper a brick wall that he cannot pass and he will be written into history as the worst and most constitutionally damaging presidents ever, but with Woodrow Wilson snorkling his butt.
never saw this coming... oh wait...
Ammonow.com shows average prices and last week's and month's. My .223s are coming down finally.
Isn't Cordray one of the recess appointees that the appeals court ruled was invalid? How come this guy is still collecting a paycheck, let alone trying to determine his regulatory power? Does the House have the authority to withhold his salary?
Don't take the hit, not worth it. These guys are not able to loot your IRA account. Not going to happen.
When there's charts on the internet tracking prices on ammo... It's like silver or gold, except it's useful and fun.
If it keeps going like it is, I'll pay next year's property tax by selling a brick of .22LR.
The very same.
And you can keep your gold and regular light bulbs and regular flush toilets and keep the doctor you like.
I don't trust 'em as far as I can throw 'em. That's trillions of $$s sitting there that the government needs.
Roosevelt shouldn't have been able to outlaw possession of gold, either.
But he did, and our corrupt government went along with it.
Unaccountable bureaucracies are socialist constructs.
Socialism Is Legal Plunder - Bastiat
From socialist architect/bureaucratic brianless child to senator...
As big as anything...well...since OBAMACARE!
The socialists are running the table AND we have ZERO representation in Congress.
"Above all, if you wish to be strong, begin by rooting out every particle of socialism that may have crept into your legislation. " - Bastiat
Americans are being overtaken/looted/plundered/subjugated by coalitions of collectivists - all socialist.
Thanks for posting, Perdogg. BIG SOCIALISM BUMP!
Thanks to all of the tremendous posters at zero hedge and free republic.
would gold be valuable during the dark ages or would barter of useful items be more useful? <<
"Ive already fallen prey to one financial scam - its called Social Security."
You didn't fall prey. You were coerced.
Physical Gold and Silver. Some of it in bar form, some in coins. My preference is for Silver.
Precious metals (Gold and Silver) are the way to go, because they are money. The concept of money - and why it always wins out over barter - requires a little unpacking:
Precious metals possess all of the attributes of money (fungibility, portability, store of value and so forth)
Fiat currency has most of the attributes of money, but it does not act as a store of value. After a few years a dollar bill has only a fraction of its original buying power. However an oz of Gold from (e.g.) the time of the Incas retains its buying power.
Something that has the attributes of money is valuable because it has those attributes. Would-be barterers can use money to overcome the otherwise insuperable problem of discovering a Coincidence_of_wants .
Trade requires money. Let's examine this vital function of money with respect to the coincidence of wants, and also get a feel for why Barter rarely works:
Chicken farm example:
You run a chicken farm, and you need to buy a great many things to keep your farm and family going.
In a given month you need - for instance - to buy chicken feed, to hire someone to repair your generator, to buy a nailgun to allow you to mend chicken barn #9, to hire a midwife to help give birth to your widowed daughter's baby, to buy milk and bacon - and so on.
Some of these resources will be buyable with chickens or eggs. And some of them will not - there's no coincidence of wants if the midwife or the nailgun owner don't want chicken meat or eggs.
Remember: these people need to replace their consumables in order to stay in business: they can't use your food to buy more nails or WD40 or painkillers or whatever they need from their suppliers a hundred miles away.
But all or most of these resources will be buyable with money - with Gold or Silver. This is because offering money as part of a transaction vastly improves the chance of a coincidence of wants
Chicken farm example - continued:
You've had a successful month at the farm, and you now have loads of chicken meat and/or eggs to sell.
100 people line up to buy what you've got.
* 50 of them have horribly devalued fiat money, food-stamps and a bad attitude
* 40 of them have plans for barter - some of which are better than others.
- and so on, with dozens of variations. You have to gauge each transaction on its own merits - an exhausting process - and half of the barter offers are simply going to be unworkable.
* 10 of them have Gold and/or Silver.
Which customers will you prefer selling your produce to? They all want what you've got - but do you want what they've got? Again: real money vastly increases the chance of a coincidence of wants.
In summary:
Only Gold and Silver fulfill all of the prerequisites of money. This gives them inherent value - useful (for instance) in a survival situation.
Barter (however) turns out not to be a workable solution in the great majority of cases due to the need for a coincidence of wants.
Lastly - as we know: fiat currency can also be used to run a chicken farm. It has the appearance of money. However fiat currency is currently losing ~7% of its buying power a year. Once price inflation reaches a certain level, only real money will be accepted as money.
Hope this was helpful.
"We will be like Zimbabwe if people dont wise up by the 2014 election."
I think more and more people are beginning to think we won't be able to vote our way out of the mess we're in. Take your money out of the 401(k), pay the penalty and buy hard goods... things that will be valuable even if (when) the economy goes into the tank. My wife (a non-drinker) is stockpiling wine. I just bought some tobacco seeds. There are "other" things we don't talk about too. We have seven people living in this old house and all but the two grandkids (2 and 6 years old) shoot well. I sincerely hope we're not tested but if we are, I also hope we pass the test.
Unless your wife's storing high-end collectible wine, they won't last forever. White wines might start turning 1-2 years after bottling. Reds might start turning bad after 3 years. (I work part-time at a winery.). Your mileage may vary, but just be aware.
They don't know what authority they have? How vaguely legislated is their mandate? If only we had a left that loved the Constitution.
Consumer Financial Protection Bureau = Coming For Profits, Bub.
It doesn't make any sense if you have real money in it. The object of the game is to pay the least amount of taxes as you can. A working stiff Californian would end up paying close to 50% in taxes and penalties on cashing in a 100K IRA. A high roller would end paying 60% if not more. The way to go would be a 72T distribution.
Gee, the government already 16 trillion in debt and climbing in charge of one's retirment accounts, what could go wrong??
Bingo! That is the event that set Ann Barnhardt off the hook. She rightly observed that Corzine took money out of the accounts that were not his to take (~$1billion?) and the guy is walking the street and our Fed-Gov is letting him walk.
Then add to that what happened to the bondholders at GM. These bahstids in the Fedzilla will come for the 401k's and retirement accounts sooner or later. They will say they won't and say they won't, and then one day you will here that great sucking sound.
How about a barrel of whiskey? It usually bets better with age and won't go bad for a loooong time.
This is why they're coming for the guns first.
You mean scams like Social Security?
Fact is, the government itself is a financial scam!

Oklahoma City Thunder Autographed Memorabilia and Collectibles
The Oklahoma City Thunder is one of the best, young teams in the NBA today. With three stars in their 20s, the Thunder will be a championship-contending team for a very long time. The franchise, formerly the Seattle SuperSonics, moved to Oklahoma City and adopted the Thunder nickname in 2008. In the six seasons after moving to Oklahoma City, the Thunder has made the playoffs five times, the conference finals three times and the NBA Finals once.
Since moving from Seattle to Oklahoma City, the Thunder franchise has been extremely successful. The Thunder's lone losing season since the move came in 2009 – the first year in Oklahoma City – when the team posted a 23-59 which was an improvement from a 20-62 campaign the previous year. After 2009, the Thunder experienced one of the biggest turnarounds in NBA history. Behind the stellar play of Kevin Durant, Russell Westbrook and James Harden, Oklahoma City finished 50-32 and earned a playoff berth as the eighth seed in the Western Conference.
The Thunder's first playoff appearance was a short lived one as the team fell to the eventual champion Los Angeles Lakers in the first round. The following season, Oklahoma City returned with more experience and prepared to make a deeper run in the playoffs. The team posted a 55-27 record and won its first division title since moving to Oklahoma City, earning the fourth seed in the Western Conference. In the playoffs, the Thunder defeated the Denver Nuggets in the first round, the Memphis Grizzlies in a thrilling second-round matchup before finally falling to the Dallas Mavericks in the Western Conference Finals.
After tasting playoff defeat once again, the Thunder returned for the 2012 season primed for a run that would place them on the ultimate stage: the NBA Finals. In the 2012 playoffs, Oklahoma City got revenge on the two teams which previously eliminated them from the playoffs. The Thunder swept the defending NBA champion Dallas Mavericks in the first round before demolishing the Los Angeles Lakers in five games. Once in the conference finals, the Thunder faced off against the San Antonio Spurs. Oklahoma City dropped the first two games of the series before winning four consecutive games and advancing to the NBA Finals for the first time since the franchise relocated.
After losing to the Miami Heat in the Finals, the Thunder remained one of the top teams in all of basketball. Kevin Durant, in an attempt to will his team to a Finals win, has continued to elevate his game and add to his skill set. The five-time All-Star has become one of the best players in the world and went on to win the 2014 NBA Most Valuable Player Award.
The Oklahoma City Thunder is one of the top teams in the NBA at this moment, and they aren't looking to relinquish that anytime soon. As a team stacked with young talent, it's easy to see why Thunder fans are as excited about their memorabilia as they have ever been. Kevin Durant, Russell Westbrook and Serge Ibaka are just a few players the Thunder has that are at the top of their games. Any Oklahoma City Thunder memorabilia that you add to your collection at this moment will only positively impact the collection and celebrates some of the most up-and-coming players in the league.
- Kevin Durant Autographed Basketballs: As an NBA MVP and five-time All-Star, Kevin Durant has solidified himself as one of the most premier players in the league. In addition to leading the Oklahoma City Thunder to new heights in franchise history, Durant claimed his first MVP award during the 2013-2014 season with remarkable averages of 32 points per game, 7.4 rebounds per game and 5.5 assists per game. A signed basketball can be the centerpiece of any collection, and a Kevin Durant autographed basketball is perfect for any sports fan or collector. Within our wide selection of Oklahoma City Thunder memorabilia you will find a variety of Kevin Durant signed basketballs to drastically add value to your collection. A Kevin Durant autographed ball is ideal for Thunder fans because it sports an authentic signature from the franchise's greatest player and some also include team-oriented inscriptions, like "Thunder Up." Investing in a signed Kevin Durant basketball is an intelligent move as it will skyrocket in value after this future Hall of Famer retires.
- Russell Westbrook Signed Jerseys: Russell Westbrook is the All-Star point guard for the Oklahoma City Thunder. Westbrook made a seemingly easy transition into the NBA when the Thunder selected him with the fourth overall pick in the 2008 NBA Draft and he later was named to the All-Rookie First Team. As a three-time All-Star, Russell Westbrook has already established himself among the NBA's elite. Since Westbrook is quickly building a legacy, the addition of a signed Russell Westbrook jersey is an ideal investment for any sports room or collection that will consistently rise in value. Fans and collectors can commemorate Russell Westbrook's evolution into an once-in-a-lifetime star with an autographed Russell Westbrook jersey in official Thunder colors. An OKC Thunder jersey with a Russell Westbrook autograph that was hand-signed by the All-Star will serve as an awesome centerpiece within any NBA collection.
- Serge Ibaka Plaques and Collages: One of the most intimidating defenders in all of basketball, Serge Ibaka is the 6-foot-10 big man for the Oklahoma City Thunder. Ibaka joined the Thunder in 2009 and, despite being a raw talent, soon earned a starting role on one of the best teams in the NBA. Ibaka has dramatically improved his offensive game throughout the years, which adds to his already impressive defensive repertoire. A three-time member of the NBA All-Defensive First Team, Serge Ibaka has led the entire league in blocked shots twice while anchoring the Thunder's defense. As one of the more promising young players in the NBA today, investing in Serge Ibaka memorabilia is fantastic move for any sports collection. A great way to commemorate his greatest achievements and contributions to the Thunders success is by adding a Serge Ibaka plaque or collage to your sports room or collection. Each unique piece features a Serge Ibaka photo and the OKC Thunder logo, allowing fans to show support for their team and its young All-Star.
