Satellite Internet from a trusted service like HughesNet has many benefits, including:
We are aware of the fact that there are a number of Satellite Internet providers in the region but we are still able to stand tall amongst all of them due to the superiority of our products and services. We have been in this industry longer than any other competitor and in the process we have learnt through the hard way what it takes to keep clients satisfied. We have therefore centered all our efforts in meeting the specific needs of our clients with each and every service we have to offer them.
Having a good Internet connection is a something you cannot take for granted. The quality of Internet you receive determines how much you are able to do online. It is for this reason that here at Hughesnet Satellite Internet, we aim to provide you with the best Internet service in the industry.
The Internet has evolved a lot since it was introduced. Today, it is hard to imagine life without the Internet. On our part, we have kept abreast of the developments in the industry and we can proudly say that we offer the best satellite Internet services.
We have been able to achieve this by investing in the latest satellite technology that allows us to offer you high-speed Internet connections in any part of America.
If you live in the rural areas and have been using dial-up Internet, it is time for you to make the big switch to satellite Internet. For a long time now, residents of rural areas in America have had to depend on dial-up Internet to get connected. These residents have thus not been able to enjoy the full benefits of the Internet because of slow Internet speeds and unreliable service. Whenever phone lines in an area are down, the Internet users in the area are affected by a service blackout.
The reluctance by large Internet companies to venture into the rural areas has been the main reason that the areas have not had access to fast Internet. The companies omn their part claim that the population is too low to warrant a huge investment in infrastructure. At HughesNet, we appreciate the potential of rural areas and we are committed to offering the residents a first-class Internet service.
One of the advantages of satellite Internet that you will most certainly love is that no matter where you are located, we can still provide you with our quality Internet services. Once you subscribe to our services, we will send our highly skilled technicians to do a free installation at your house within a short time. The process involves setting up a satellite dish and as soon as we activate it, you can immediately start enjoying an extremely fast Internet connection. It thus means that since we do not have to lay any cables, we can connect you to our service whether you live in a cabin up the mountain or in a farm in a remote area. Our unlimited satellite Internet service will provide you with astonishing Internet speeds that are about four times the speed of most dial-up connections. The fast speeds will allow you to utilize the Internet in ways you did not think possible.
There are many reasons why you should talk to us before considering any other option. For a start, when you make a call to us, you will be served by a friendly and dedicated team of customer service team. The knowledgeable team will take you through our various plans to ensure that you choose the ideal package for your Internet needs.
We are dedicated to offering our customers the very best Internet service. Our HughesNet Gen4 Internet provides you with Fourth-Generation satellite Internet that gives you amazing speeds. With this service, you get a fantastic download capacity and you are able to conduct video chats, engage in social media, send and receive emails fast and also stream live media with unlimited satellite Internet.
Another good reason to work with us here at HughesNet is that we care about the interests of our subscribers. When you contact us for an Internet service, you can be sure that we have the right plan for you. Our friendly customer service team will engage you and find out the type of Internet you need. Our plans are suited for both domestic and commercial Internet needs.
Whether you need an Internet connection for just one computer in the house or for several computers at your business, we have the ideal plan for you. You will also delight in the fact that our plans are tailored to meet your budget based on your consumption. You will enjoy a basic plan at a very affordable monthly fee or a premium plan at a competitive price.

On The Leafs' Cheap Forward Radar: Nazem Kadri
Danny Gray
June 11 2012 08:04AM
Yeah, but can he punch faces with those hands?- Photo via Reuters
As I outlined earlier the Leafs have two "Top 9 Forward" spots to fill this offseason. These spots currently belong to Colby Armstrong and Matthew Lombardi. One of them is Nazem Kadri's to lose.
-Bleeding Blue and White
This chart shows the NHL GP of each player drafted in the first round of the 2009 entry draft. The black line represents the average of 74 GP; Nazem has played 51GP. However, as BCapp explained the average was skewed heavily by the Top 4 taken that year. If we remove those four the average GP for forwards drafted 5-30 is 43GP. Kadri is above that mark.
-Bleeding Blue and White
Kadri's quality of competition and offensive zone start rate were both slightly easier than the NHL average, but he at least performed, with the second biggest blue circle on the team—his Corsi Rel rate of 10.9 was the second highest behind two-way threat Mikhail Grabovski.

Canada's Bansley and Maloney win opener at Olympic test event
LONDON – Heather Bansley and Liz Maloney of Toronto won their opening round robin match Tuesday at the Olympic test event in women's beach volleyball.
Bansley and Maloney, who posted two top-10 results on the World Tour last month and are seeded fifth here, defeated Beh Shun Thing and Luk Tech Hua of Malaysia 21-15, 21-19 in 36 minutes.
Ashley Voth of Winnipeg and Jamie Broder of Victoria (in photo) as well as Kacie MacTavish of Sharon, Ont., and Julie Rodrigue of Quebec City lost their opening matches.
Voth and Broder fell to Britain's Lucy Boulton and Denise Johns 21-10, 21-11.
"It was pretty hard playing the home team especially when the crowd was all cheering for the British team," Broder said. "It was hard game. They are a very talented team."
The crowd was close to its 1,500 capacity and the less-experienced Broder and Voth were unable to work themselves into a position to dampen the public's enthusiasm.
"It was tough because every time they won a point the crowd cheered, but it is something you have to work through it and get used to," Voth added, "but it is pretty cool to play against the team that is at home though."
The Canadian's next match is against Brazilian duo Taiana and Vivian before they face the United States' Tealle Hunkus and Heather Lowe in their final pool game.
"I think we'll be working on trying to sideout faster," Broder said. "They were able to get a lot of points (that way) and that is always tough to come back from."
The tournament features 12 matches per day on centre court with the pool play action continuing until Thursday before the Round of 16 on Friday before the quarterfinals on Saturday and semifinals and finals on Sunday.

By PATSY STODDARDEditor
San Rafael Junior High presented its 31st annual Veteran's Day program on Nov. 10. The American Legion presented the flags and the congregation recited the pledge of allegiance followed by the choir singing the National Anthem.
The emcee for the event was Randy Johnson. He said for more than two centuries proud patriots have been fighting for freedom from the opening battle of the Revolutionary War, Civil War, Korea, World War I, World War II, Desert Storm to Iraq and other wars. These men and women didn't set out to be heroes. They had families they left behind when they went to war. We can never measure what they gave. We are grateful for the sacrifice they made. Some of them made the ultimate sacrifice and died in battle. Others came back to live full and productive lives.
Johnson told the stories of some outstanding soldiers from each war. He began with a drummer boy in the Civil War. This drummer boy played the drums which set the pace for marches and cheered the men. The drums were heavy and almost too much to pack for the young boy. Many of these young drummer boys died in battle alongside the soldiers.
One man became a legend in his World War II Japanese unit. He received honors as he skillfully directed his unit. He and his unit subdued the enemy and he threw grenades from a close range at the enemy machine guns at risk to himself. He was hit by a grenade which shattered his arm. He was made a captain and went on the receive a law degree and he became a congressman from Hawaii. He was the first congressman of Japanese decent to ever serve in Washington.
Johnson also described a young soldier who served in Vietnam and sustained numerous injuries. He received special forces training even after he had been injured and returned to Vietnam again. A crew on an intelligence mission was unable to get out of a serious situation in enemy territory. He went back to extract the team. He jumped into a clearing and ran under enemy fire to locate the downed and injured men. He carried and pulled the men to the safety of the helicopter when the helicopter went down. They radioed for another helicopter and he then carried and pulled the men to the new helicopter. After he had loaded all the men and made sure no one was left behind, he boarded the helicopter himself and collapsed. He awoke to a body bag being zipped around him. He survived his injuries and was awarded a medal of honor from Pres. Ronald Reagan.
Johnson also told the story of football player Pat Tillman who had a contract with the National Football League, but turned it down to enter the service with his brother. Tillman didn't view himself as a hero, just an American doing a job. He was on night duty in Iraq when his truck was hit and he died. He was described as answering his true calling by being a patriot and a true hero, much more so than if he had stayed home and played football.
American heroes are willing to sacrifice everything. American women and men take risks. We have an all volunteer army. This nation loves peace and we do not take it for granted. We have been and we will continue to bear its greatest cost. Every Veteran who has served has contributed and earned our gratitude. Their time in uniform has been a defining moment in their lives. They have been ready to fight and die in selfless consecration and sacrifice to their country. Our lives have been shaped by Veterans. Terrorists are enemies of the United States. We know difficulties lie ahead. The United States will persevere and prevail. We recognize our Veterans as our friends and neighbors. We are proud to be Americans. We appreciate the Veterans who have joined us here today, said Johnson.
Trevin Singleton played Taps afterwhich those present observed a moment of silence.
Members of the San Rafael studentbody introduced the Veterans present and told a little bit about their service. The choir sang God Bless America and the program ended with the retiring of the colors.

Very Cute and not too uncomfortable
"I am a very petite bird-boned kind of person and can normally not walk in anything that does not have an ankle strap, but the design of these shoes are unusually stable. I love stripes and these are just adorable!!"

Lightweight -- size up!
"Such a cute design and so different from most of the cork wedges out there today. I love the stripes! I bought both the red and the black but the red is too small, they didn't have an 8 and the 7.5 is just way too uncomfortable. I usually wear 7.5 but I always have to size up with any Fergie brand shoes. Super lightweight and the peep toe is the perfect size."

Take the flexible route.
The study of engineering needn't lead to a career as a practicing engineer in a specific discipline. You can use your engineering knowledge in one of many dynamic career paths. Our program keeps things flexible — simply requiring that you select a minor from another recognized program at UNH. Popular minors include:
- Legal studies — to prepare for law school or a career in patent law
- Biology — to prepare for medical school or a career in medicine or bioengineering
- Management — for those interested in technical management.
- Math or science, followed by an M.S. in Education — for those interested in teaching
- Different engineering disciplines
What if I want to be an engineer, but I'm undecided about which branch to choose, you ask? Then our general engineering program is still right for you. During your first year, you'll take the same foundation courses as students in specific engineering majors while you make your decision. Then, in your sophomore year, you can make a seamless transition to a specific discipline such as chemical, civil, computer, electrical, or mechanical engineering.
Learn the skills that will bring you success.
You'll get a comprehensive education that gives you the tools you'll need for engineering-related careers. We emphasize:
- Analysis and problem solving, with exposure to open-ended problems and design methods
- Acquiring the ability to design and conduct experiments as well as interpret data
- Acquiring the ability to design a system, component, or process to meet desired needs
- Teamwork — especially on multidisciplinary teams
- Communication skills
- Ethics and environmental awareness
- The development of character, self-reliance, leadership, and entrepreneurial skills through a high degree of choice, involvement, and responsibility
Your engineering instructors come from our ABET-accredited programs in chemical, civil, electrical, and mechanical engineering. Accessible, engaged, and actively interested in your academic and personal welfare, they will give you guidance and support as you come to a decision on further studies. Once you choose a minor, you will have the advice of faculty in that field as well.
Get the hands-on experience that leads to career opportunities.
As a student at UNH, you'll be in demand by local companies for part-time and summer jobs as well as internships and co-op positions. Many engineering firms — like Sikorsky and Pratt & Whitney — are within easy commuting distance, as are numerous large corporations and small businesses in a wide spectrum of industries.
After their temporary stints at these companies, many of our students return as permanent, full-time hires after graduation.

Cute, comfy, squeaky??
"Love the look of these, and they're pretty comfy considering how high they are. But the ankle strap is pretty loose - I'll probably put an extra hole in the straps. Also the right shoe has a squeak that I assume comes from the buckle but I haven't been able to recreate it other than sporadically when I walk. This might be enough for me to exchange the shoes."

Love this shoe! fun for a night out!
"I bought these shoes a while ago before I signed up for rewards. I enjoy them for a fun night out. They take a little getting used to if you don't normally wear high shoes. They are simple and fun! I have wide feet and got away with a size 9 medium."

Great, classy wedges!
"I love these shoes... and I typically hate wedges. These are very classy looking - simple but just a touch unique. Sometimes I think wedges have a tendency to look a little juvenile, but these don't at all. The basic leather straps make them great for work or play. The only complaint is that when you walk, the strap around the ankle can get very tight and the buckle can pinch your ankle a little bit. But otherwise, they are actually pretty comfy for high shoes."

I always thought it odd that Tsunade chose to send a group of genin lead by a fresh chunin after Sasuke. Could they really have been that hard up for shinobi? What if they didnt send naturo but instead, I dunno Kakashi. Yeah he was away while everything went down and didnt arrive back in village well after everything had started, but what if he was around? If Kakashi had been sent after Sasuke, do you think it would have made a difference? Would he have been able to get the job done?
Think first. Sasuke was placed in that cylinder fairly early into the story. Once he was in I doubt he could have been taken out without killing him in the process. Even if Kakashi would have been able to defeat all of Orochimaru's shinobi do you think it would have made a difference to bring back an already altered Sasuke? It's obvious his time in the cylinder effected him mentally as well as physically. At the level Naruto and Sasuke were fighting at toward the climax of the fight, do you think Kakashi would have been able to beat Sasuke? Well, what do you think?

"Since I've been with the Reds in 1989, we've never had a farm system this loaded," Bowden said. "If we were the New York Yankees and had unlimited dollars, we could have traded for Colon, (Jeff) Weaver, Rolen, (Cliff) Floyd, (Kenny) Rogers and Finley and gotten them all -- and still held onto our top five prospects. That's an amazing statement."
No doubter.
On the plus side, I like our chances to put up a bunch of runs too.

No Time for Breakfast?
Even if you're rushed in the morning, there's still enough time to fuel up in a healthy way. The Good Housekeeping Research Institute nutritionists have come up with 10 quick and healthy low-calorie mini-meals — ones you can eat at home, at the office or even in the car — so you have no more excuses for skipping the most important meal of the day.
1. Get Out of a Rut: Swap your regular breakfast of coffee with cream and sugar and a buttered roll for a large skim or low-fat latte and a small whole-grain roll without butter plus a banana.
2. Make It Portable: If you love cold cereal but don't have time to sit down to eat it, you'll love this idea: Find a big mug that's tall and deep, then fill it with a serving of high-fiber cereal topped by fruit such as dried cranberries, raisins, or blueberries or a tablespoon of crunchy flaxseeds or minced nuts. Add fat-free milk or calcium-fortified soy milk and you're ready to go.
3. Get Big Taste from Your Freezer: Buy frozen pancakes, French toast, or waffles the next time you're at the market. Simply heat one serving and top with a 4-ounce cup of applesauce or fruit blend and 2 tablespoons of chopped nuts.
4. Put a New Spin on an Old Favorite: Instead of topping your English muffin with butter and jam, add a tomato slice and a slice of your favorite reduced-fat cheese to each half. Broil until the cheese is melted.
5. Have a Snacky Breakfast: Hate eating breakfast? Have a nutritious snack instead. Microwave a 12-ounce mug of low-fat chocolate milk and chow down a small bowl of grapes or berries.
6. Warm Your Tummy: Hot cereal is a great comfort food, plus it fills you up. Mix 1/2 cup of Post Grape-Nuts with 1/3 cup of low-fat or fat-free milk and 1 teaspoon of honey in a bowl and heat in the microwave on high for 30 to 45 seconds.
7. Make It Snappy! When you're running late, the microwave can be your friend. Zap an Amy's Breakfast Burrito — a whole-wheat tortilla filled with tofu, tomatoes, onions, and beans — for about two minutes and enjoy with a small container of calcium-fortified vegetable juice.
8. Get Crazy for Crackers: With a little imagination, crackers can make a great morning meal. Top a serving of low-fat Triscuit crackers with 1 ounce of part-skim mozzarella and some grape tomatoes.
9. Eat Leftovers: Consider feasting on foods that aren't typically associated with breakfast. Try a bowl of soup or some of last night's chicken or tuna stuffed into a small whole-wheat pita.
10. Drink Up: When you haven't got time to dawdle, a fruit smoothie is a quick and satisfying breakfast option. Combine in a blender 3/4 cup fat-free plain yogurt, 1 cup of fresh berries, 1 teaspoon honey, and 4 ice cubes. Pour the mixture into a thermos and you're ready to roll.

Hello fans and leechers,
I am here to announce that we are recruiting for the JAC again…
Instead of recruiting people to work on every release, we will be recruiting people for a team for the series we do…
So the teams we will have will be divided as following:
1. Bloody Monday ( Have to be available every week)
2. Tegami Bachi/Ao No Exorcist ( Have to be available when the raws are released for the month)
3. Shin Prince of Tennis (Beginning of the month normally, maybe middle)
4. Kure-nai ( This team depends on if Ivory-sama will take you on)
5. Sengoku Basara 3 /Ultimo (These are series that we are really behind on so you show up whenever you can and clean 5 to 10 pages then you can leave or comeback whenever)
Now with the Bloody Monday team raws normally arrive on Friday night or Early Saturday morning so we would need you during those time until the job is complete which shouldn't take long if we have enough cleaners.
Now the rest of the Teams are mostly monthly which is why we aren't requiring ya to be here every day, but I would like a way to be able to contact ya when raws arrive and such…
If ya choose to try, join and register and make a thread on the JAC Forums , while ya are training it would be nice if ya can join us on IRC , but if you can't be sure to update your thread. When you make the thread give us a brief statement on your experiencing on Photoshop, also the country or state you are living and Timezone. Please include the team you plan on joining; you can join up to 2 teams and 3…after we see you are staying long term and your skill has improved..
We are only looking for cleaners and re-drawers (Bloody Monday chapters always require redraws); we may open up recruitment for Typesetting at a future time. So please apply if you want to, if not go to hell…

Women's Basketball Heads to WTAMU Thanksgiving Tournament
CANYON, Texas - McMurry University women's basketball will go in search of its first win of the 2012-13 season this weekend at the Pak-A-Sak Thanksgiving Classic, hosted by West Texas A & M University on November 23-24. On Friday, the War Hawks (0-4) take on host WTAMU (6 p.m.), before facing off versus Angelo State on Saturday (2 p.m.) at the First United Bank Center.
These will be the fifth and sixth – of eight – road games for Dr. Veronica Snow's McM team to open the season.
WTAMU (1-3) picked up its first win of the year this past Tuesday, scoring a 78-54 win over UC-Colorado Springs. The Lady Buffs are averaging 57.2 points per game on offense, while allowing opponents an average of 63.2 p.p.g. West Texas A & M is also being out-rebounded by an average of 1.5 boards per game.
Lacee Logan tops the Lady Buffs' trio of double-figure scorers at 12.5 points per game. Devin Griffin's 11.5 p.p.g. is second on the squad. Chantiquah White checks in at 10.5 p.pg. and is shooting 62 percent from the field, while also leading the team in rebounds at 5.3 caroms per contest.
Angelo State enters the tourney with a 2-1 overall record. Both of the Rams' win have been over McMurry's Heartland Conference mates, St. Edward's (57-47) and Texas A & M-International (53-43). Its lone loss was to Central Oklahoma State (67-64).
Junior Lauren Holt has had the hot start for ASU in the early going. The 6-foot-3 forward is averaging 12.3 points, 12.7 rebounds and 2.3 blocks per game (all team highs).
Sophomore forward Haylee Oliver is at 12.0 p.p.g. and 7.3 r.p.g. and junior guard Leah LeMaire books an average of 10.5 p.p.g.
For the War Hawks, despite the four tough losses to open the season, Snow's squad has seen some early bright spots. Junior Keshia Collins, who led the team in numerous statistical categories last season, has picked up in 2012-13 where she left off last year.
Collins is averaging 11.8 p.p.g. and 7.0 r.p.g., both topping the team. She has tallied in double digits in three of the team's four outings.
Freshman post player Ana Dominguez is second in scoring (8.3 p.p.g.) and shares rebound honors with Collins (7.0 r.p.g.). The 6-foot-0 Dominguez has rolled up 12 blocked shots already, an average of 3.0 rejections per game.
Fellow freshman Claire Bruffey has provided the spark off of the bench, entering the game as Snow's "sixth player" and averaging 8.0 points per game and better than 20 minutes per appearance.
Veterans Rikeita Thomas and Tory Salazar are both at 6.0 points per game starting in the backcourt.

Skip to comments.CSPAN LIVE: IRS Targeting Investigation
Posted on 06/23/2014 4:20:29 PM PDT by GOPinCa
Live link to today's 7:00Est congressional hearing with IRS commissioner
Got it on, Thanks!
Koskinen looks quite arrogant. He has the look of 'FU' across his forehead.
Ugh! I tuned in just in time for Elijah Cummings bloviating. Turning off the sound.
Geez, now we have to listen to Cummings mouth. He should be on trial himself for his part in all this.
Someone better ask about the servers and back up system pretty fast or I will believe the fix is in.
Cummings can't even pronounce truth..it does it like he has no teeth..truf...
Cummings defends the IRS (to coverup HIS email
which has been removed as part of his continuing
obstruction of justice).
Dog. Pony. Show.
"truf....the whole truf....nothing but the truf..." LOL!
Truf dat.
"Email Shows IRS Official Was Pretty Happy About Obama Publicly Singling Out Conservative "Secret Donor" Groups"
Elijah Cummings = Lyin SOS
Has a little bit of a problem "wif" with, also.
I don't want to hear the dimocraps whiney excuses...how many times have we been told that everything you put on the internet stays there FOREVER. Somebody's got them.
Prior to the congressional investigation, the IRS IG had been investigating what was happening. No doubt Lerner was aware of the IG investigation. I hope that someone asks when the IG investigation began.
Cummings is part of the problem. He helped pressure the IRS to go after the conservative groups.
Why is Cummings even allowed to be there? He is part of the targeting, of course he will deny there is any scandal, he is part of it
Geez, now we have to listen to Cummings mouth. He should be on trial himself for his part in all this.
Geez, is putting it mildly. He is so full of crap and he is surely involved up to his eyeballs in this.
I'm not sure if I can listen to this without destroying my TV.
"These are the days of our great lament.
The land thirsts from corruption by the Obama regime.
A great plague infests our country too long-ignored
by the corrupt EXEMPT traitors in EXEMPT Congress.
They say that strife has made us, the non-EXEMPT, weak.
That we, the non-EXEMPT, have become empty.
They say that wem the non-EXEMPT, rot.
But, we are strong.
We are a people of Constitutional destiny."

Go Jim Jordan!
It's NOT about her hard drive, as many here have said.
Allegedly, they tried to 'fix' her local drive and found the sectors were damaged too badly.
BUT!! Ahah..how do we even know it was HER hard drive they had IT examine??? Hmmmmm????
I would expect that the serial number of each computer and associated HD would be on record somewhere. That would be basic security for a PC in GOVT, I would think?
What's to stop someone from TAKING OUT her 'failed' HD which is still good and then installing a bad HD from a junker somewhere and THAT HD was the one IT examined...
She would think her PC / email crashed the next time she turned it on...
OH, he said "Brindly" for BLINDLY...
What a doofuss
I thought people on these committees were suppose to get to the truth. All Cummings is doing is defending, making excuses, being subversive and trying to submarine getting at the truth.
Bears repeating!
Jim Jordan calling for a Special Prosecutor.
Another lying democrat, Gerald Connoly. Damnit, there needs to be a special prosecutor.
Connolly Lies!
Because Cummings is knee deep in this..of course he wants this to disappear..I say subpoena his emails, I want to see what he wrote to the IRS
They have to cover their butts. So lie, lie and lie some more.
Oh great, another member of the Banana Republic administration speaks.
Can you believe Connolly? Now he says the IRS needs more money to fix their IT problems. Another damn diversion from the truth. It about time for the citizens of this country to render justice.
Wow, Citizens of Virginia - you've got a keeper there.
Taking his oaf.
Crazy Gerry Connolly (D-Va) Asks IRS Official If Shes Consorted With Devil
Howd it go when Connolly got involved and brought up The Crucible, a story about a woman accused of being a witch in Salem? (video at link)
Youre under oath, he said. Have you been consorting with the devil?
Not to my knowledge, sir, she answered.
Are reports that you can fly accurate?
Uh, greatly exaggerated, sir, she responded with a practiced smirk.
Have you been involved, in any way, in trying to pervert our youth, Connolly pressed with faux outrage, In Salem or anywhere else?
I certainly hope not sir.
Youre sure?
Yes, sir.
Issa tells Koskinen to raise that hand higher!
And worse yet, the RATS talked the right into having a bipartisan panel. When ever a RAT says bipartisan they really mean to have a mole on the panel.
Agree, His and Valerie Jarrett e-mails too.
Cummings " "Republicans,Republicans,Republicans,Republicans,Republicans,Republicans, "
Thats the talking point and will be beat to death, just watch
sounds like harry screed jr.
Iaas tells him to raise his hand higher during swearing in! LOL
yeah , but he did !
Connolly= Fairfax Democrat= waste of dna.
"Can you believe Connolly? Now he says the IRS needs more money to fix their IT problems."
Internal Revenue Service Commissioner John Koskinen said updates to the agencys antiquated information technology system will need a budget of between $400 million and $500 million, Nextgov reported Friday. - See more at: http://www.executivegov.com/2014/06/john-koskinen-irs-it-system-updates-to-cost-500m/#sthash.75WHVCGj.dpuf
Taking an oath means NOTHING to this evil son-of-a-bitch. He will lie his ass off to protect his dear leader Obama.
What a P.O.S.
Koskinen is just repeating the same garbage.
The dims are outraged that we just don't buy what we are being told. You know, like a good little unit should.
we want him to...it fuels the antidote

Lead-based paints pose hazards for workers and the public that require investigation and mitigation by skilled and knowledgeable specialists. Cornell-ILR runs workshops on lead inspection, risk assessment and abatement that defines and teaches hazard abatement and investigation techniques. We offer both initial and refresher training for supervisors, inspectors, risk assessors, and workers. These workshops have been accredited and approved in New York State by the Environmental Protection Agency, Region 2.
We teach seven different courses, two of which have been approved for credit by Cornell Medical College: Lead Inspector and Lead Risk Assessor, both of which must be taken to earn a total of three credits, and Lead Supervisor/Contractor, itself worth three credits. Successful completion of any course offered by Cornell-ILR requires a written examination and a passing evaluation of a hands-on skills assessment. Students who expect to work as EPA-certified lead inspectors, risk assessors, or supervisor-contractors, must also pass an exam given by the EPA.
Classes are scheduled throughout New York State, and can be delivered on-site at an organization's request.

Team taker again (you guys totally owe me):
Oldish dude is being startled repeatedly by his purportedly grown up but not really son, and says, "Oh F*" every time.
Son uses words like "Schwarzenegger" and "WOO!" and "Lizze Maguire" and "Bon Giorno" and "Morning" and also sings about his dad being a Latino princess.

text: Chesham Street is one of a group of works painted by George Lambert between 1910 and 1914 that are puzzle pictures. These paintings appear to have a meaning and yet are not strictly narrative; they invite the viewer to provide their own interpretation. Contemporary critics read the image as a scene in a consulting room with a doctor examining the heart or lungs of his patient, (Lambert himself). This painting is also a metaphor: this man seems to have nothing to hide, to be literally and metaphorically baring his chest, exposing his heart and soul to the world.

Hamleys' top toys for Christmas 2011Pocket-lint
Like nervous turkeys, the tech, toy and entertainment industries have always got one eye on Christmas, and naturally so; it is, after all, the biggest time of year for sales. To be the must-have gadget, game or gizmo nestling in Santa's bulging sack at the end of any given year is to bring a mighty bounty upon its manufacturer or inventor.
So it should come as no surprise to you then that Pocket-lint receives plenty of invites to Christmas preview events, in order to see the goodies expected to fly off the shelves (literally, in some cases). What may come as more of a shock, however, is that these gatherings generally happen in July.
The hugely famous and fondly revered London toy megastore Hamleys likes to do things a bit different though. Yes, it invited the Lint to a preview shindig highlighting the forthcoming toys it believes will be big hits at Chrimbo time, and yes, it has come up with its own top ten toys list - both of which being par for the course - but it has also held its Christmas in July event in June.
So, sit back and let us guide you through the best toys Pocket-lint got a chance to play with at Hamleys' Christmas in July... in June...
Hamleys has created its own top ten toys list, but a few of the inclusions may not be entirely of interest to Lint readers, take The Saturdays Fashionistas, official Barbie dolls that have been created in conjunction with the five piece girl band. Or Fur Real Cookie, the latest robot dog that looks and moves so realistically you'd expect to find a genuine brown egg festering underneath. While they are both undoubtedly cool products, especially if you have a daughter or younger sister, neither call for mayhem, blood or guts.
Unlike this year's animated talking Elmo. He's set aside a life of cuddling and cuteness for a petuli oil-fueled life on the circuit. Yep, he has succumbed to the lure of rock and roll, and he's even got a little metalhead T-shirt to prove it.
At £100, Rock on Elmo is not cheap, but he is undisputedly cool. Not only can he wave his arms and jiggle about, but now comes with a microphone, tambourine and drums which he recognises when placed in his hands, or set close by. Each instrument triggers a new song that Elmo knows. Other instruments, such as a guitar, keyboard and another mic, will also be available separately.
Like adults have gone all strange over Angry Birds, kids have latched onto a different technology-based craze; Moshi Monsters. The social networking platform and games are now massive, and like the Birds, there are new plush toys on the horizon for children to own their own Monster. The Moshi Monsters Talking Plush laugh, talk (obviously) and giggle, and each of them come with an Adoption Certificate (like Cabbage Patch Kids, only nowhere near as hideous) plus a secret code for an in-game item.
They cost £20 each, and Hamleys will have an exclusive gold edition plush so you'll no doubt have to visit London later in the year or your children may never forgive you.
The LeapFrog LeapPad is a natural successor to the company's own handheld console, the Explorer, but supercharged. It is a cool and funky tablet device for tots, with plenty of features and functions including a camera, video recorder, microphone and motion-based gameplay. You can read our more in-depth hands-on with the new kids' tablet here.
Like LeapFrog, V-Tech has also released a new electronic device this year, although its more an update on an existing model, rather than something altogether new. The Kiddizoom Twist is a rehashed version of the hugely popular kids camera released last year. It's major new feature allows the operator to twist the lens of the camera to face front rather than rear, and therefore take self portraits.
The £64 device also records video and has a voice changing mode that will have younger kids in hysterics.
iball3 is a round plastic gadgety game that could be described as a Rubik's Cube with a brain. It has six small buttons on its exterior and gives the player mere seconds to light each of them the same colour by cycling through the choices. All six must be lit to win, and if you fail in time, the iball3 randomises for you to start all over again.
There's also an online leaderboard to register times on for those who become particularly good, and each ball comes with its own registration number to use on the site in order to log scores. iball3 costs £20.
We're not sure what to call the next product, or how much it costs, but the demonstration at Hamleys' event used the store's own Colour Stacker pens and a pair of chroma-depth 3D glasses with "3D Crazy" written on the side.
Essentially, the glasses make any picture suddenly jump out in three-dimensions (with each colour taking on a different plane, if you like) and even work with a photo of the art taken through, for example, an iPhone. It's all clever stuff, is a Hamleys exclusive and definitely worth watching out for.
As are Air Swimmers as they creep up on you. Filled with helium, they're basically balloons with a motor and remote control. Available in shark or clown fish flavours, each swimmer does cost a princely sum of £40, but are remarkably easy to manipulate.
Not only can you move them forwards or backwards, you can send them up or down. And as they move gracefully and slowly, there's little chance of losing them.
Because of the third movie, it's not surprising that Transformers are being given a big push again. And, when you get a load of Transformers Ultimate Optimus Prime, you'll fully understand why. Although it costs a mega £100, this version of the robot in disguise is mammoth. Instead of just transforming to the cab of a truck, he also morphs into the attached trailer. Awesome.
There's going to be a few very lucky Transformers fans out there this Christmas.
Likewise Lego nuts. Lego in all its guises has been phenomenally successful in 2011 and none more so than with its latest brand, Ninjago. The DS game has flown off the shelves, as have the spinner sets, but there's nothing in the range as jaw-droppingly stunning as the Lego Ninjago Fire Temple. Not only does it come with the temple, all of the Samukai and Kruncha minifigs, all four Spinjitzu weapons, and 14 other battle implements, it comes with a massive fire dragon.
Admittedly, it costs £116, but you do get a whole stack of the Ninjago universe for your bucks.
The £89 Dance Star Mickey does the moonwalk. 'Nuff said.
A Fijit Friend, however, doesn't. But she is a cross between a Furby and a dancing flower, recognising over 30 keywords and responding to over 150 phrases. Plus, she feels all spongy, and comes with alternate antenna.
We particularly like the lit smiley face and, although she weighs in at £70, the Fijit Friends could well be a sleeper craze. Watch this space.
The build-it-yourself Star Wars lightsaber sets have been incredibly popular, as has the TV show Doctor Who, so it makes sense that a company has had the the foresight to combine the two.
However, not only can you build your own Sonic Screwdriver with the Doctor Who Personalise your Sonic Screwdriver set, but you can even build the devices used by each and every one of the 11 official Doctors - a feature that will excite geeks of all ages (like us).
In fact, there are 80 possible combinations each with lights and multiple sound effects, so you can even come up with a unique Sonic Screwdriver for yourself. A bargain at £26.
Finally, after all the whizz bangs, beeps and flashing lights of modern toys, we're keen to support the old too here on Pocket-lint, and Hamleys will be stocking Risk Nostalgia Edition (alongside similar versions of Monopoly and Cluedo). Costing £40 and coming in a wooden box, the new old board game set uses the first - quite different - rules of Risk and the classic map from the 1959 original. It'll certainly look better housed on a living room shelf.
So that's it, a mighty selection of the toys that Hamleys is tipping for the top this Christmas. We'd advise queuing for the Transformers Ultimate Optimus Prime or Lego Ninjago Fire Temple now - you don't want to upset the little ones, do you?

Lulu townsend glitter box clutch
"This clutch is the perfect accessory! It is much roomier than I expected and very durable. I was pleasantly surprised to find that it also has a stylish shoulder strap if you don't want to carry it as a clutch. Fits your keys, cell phone, a compact camera, and a few makeup items perfectly. I attended a wedding recently and it was a great accessory to my dress. Love this item!"

poorly made
"This clutch looked really cute on the website and my expectation was that it could be worn at many different formal occasions. To my surprise, it was really poorly made. The surface of the bag feels very rough, sand-like and some of the glitter started coming off when I touched it. It's a shame. A great idea, but not well executed."

Chrebet Calls It A Career He ends his career with 580 receptions
Posted 22 December 2005 - 01:30 PM
By ANDREA ADELSON, AP Sports Writer
December 22, 2005
HEMPSTEAD, N.Y. (AP) -- Jets receiver Wayne Chrebet said Thursday his career was over, one month after sustaining a season-ending concussion.
Chrebet spent 11 seasons with his hometown team after signing as an undrafted free agent out of Hofstra, but was plagued with head injuries the last few seasons. Though he was undersized at 5-foot-10, he quickly became a clutch possession receiver, working his way up the team record charts.
He ends his career with 580 receptions, second to Don Maynard's 627 on the team list. Chrebet made his first appearance at the Jets' facility Thursday since he was hurt Nov. 6 against San Diego. His impromptu comments confirmed the expected.
"I'm not going to get back on the field. I think everybody's aware of that," Chrebet said. "But I'm just thankful and want to let the right people know I appreciate everything they've done for me."
On the play in which he got hurt, Chrebet was making a third-down catch for a first down, symbolic of the type of plays he made throughout his career. He stayed down on the field for several minutes, with a scary, glazed look in his eyes.
It was the latest in a series of problems for Chrebet. He had a post-traumatic migraine early in the 2003 season and missed the final eight games that season with postconcussion syndrome. He considered retiring, but instead came back last season. Chrebet played in all 16 games, but sustained a mild concussion in the regular-season finale against St. Louis.
"It's just a weird thing you don't want to accept," Chrebet said. "I've had a lot of time at home with my kids and that's been great. It's something I've always looked forward to. The rest is dealing with not having this in my life anymore."
Because of all he had to endure this season, teammates selected him as the recipient of the Ed Block Courage Award.
Chrebet said he will wait until the season ends before filing his retirement papers with the NFL.
"I'll hold on -- I don't want to see somebody wearing 80 in green and white that fast," he joked.

While he was slogging through stop-and-go traffic at the entrance to the Lincoln Tunnel, the car next to him was violently rear-ended. The quarterback threw his car into park, hopped out and ran to the woman whose car had been hit. She was wearing, of all things, an Esiason jersey, and was utterly shocked when he tapped on her window to check on her.
"Are you OK?" he said, trying to keep calm. "Are you OK?"
"Boomer? Is that you?" she asked the Good Samaritan, sounding disoriented. "I think I'm OK, but . ... "
But what?
"But you guys sucked."
Welcome to the New York Jets, Tim Tebow.

i was going to quote the same snippet. Chrebet's jersey should be retired long before anyone things of donning the number again.
Posted 22 December 2005 - 02:33 PM
While Chrebet is was always reliable and always a solid player, he wasn't greatness. Numbers should be retired only for players who were "greatness" like Curtis Martin. If we start retiring numbers for sentimental reasons, it will mean nothing to the players who were truly great.

Whats #'s got to do with retiring somone??? theres a reason why Wayne is the most loved Jet ever to play for gain green
He did not set Jet records like Curtis or Joe Namath but he was the best cluch 3rd down WR in the history of the NFL and he was only 5'9 180 pounds. Never in my life even in Real life or tv seen a WR that took shot after show in the head or body and still ended up catching it and still get up and pump his fist on his chest and take it like a Man... Theres soo much wonderful things i can say about him. He is the reason i'm a Jet fan and one of the people i looked up too when you talk about sports. I cry when i heard this news Wayne is the man and i thank Wayne for the memorys and i thank you for giving me a reason to belive in the Jets and i thank you for everything you tought me about playing with heart * in sports* Me and Bizkit are the two biggest #80 fans and when it comes to facts about me and wayne we'll both know it...
But if you think retiring people because of #'s your dead wrong Jetsohfive stop trying to be a media reporter and be a JET fan not only Jetsohfive but everyone in this site. Its ashame a Jet fan does not think Wayne won't get his # retired because of Wayne there was people in the stands in 96 besides MeShawn. there was a reason of a growing of the Jets fans party because of the changes in coaches and some players were thankful for but before all that Wayne was the Broadway of the Jets the Best player they had on that 96 1-15 team and i'm thankful for being a jet fan
I'm telling who ever is running that Jets office the smartest move you will ever make since signing Namath is to get #80 retired and hire him as a WR's coach because i promise you this guy will make some kind of coach if he wanted too in the furture of some sort
Goodbye #80 your our Dare Devil thanks for the memorys and lessons of how to be a true hearted player. Thats what you taught me..... Cheers Wayne

I think fans should have the final decision on players' jerseys to retire and I think Wayne should have his retired.
So what he didnt have the stats, he had a great career for an undrafted player and was clutch when called upon, delivering when neccessary.
I agree with Vilma#51 that he taught the fans how to be a true hearted player - Wayne never played for himself, always for the team. This is shown by the number of concussions and number of times he would go across the middle to catch the ball.

Author of Ed Engoron's Choclatique, Running Press, 2011
This is my favorite Mexican fast food dessert and it's perfect for a Cinco de Mayo celebration. The long strips of fried dough are comparable to New Orleans beignets or southern-fried fritters… only they're easier to make. They are a common street food and can also be found at fairs and carnivals in both America and Mexico. In recent years many vendors have resorted to frozen churros choosing to just fry them off. I think my freshly made version presented here is far better than frozen. I made them even more delectable with the addition of Choclatique Cocoa Powder to give it a light chocolate flavor. Fried chocolate-how bad could it be?
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Fry Time: 30 minutes (to fry them all)
Ready In: 40 minutes
Yield: About 24 Churros
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 quarts vegetable oil for frying
1 cup water
1/2 cup margarine (not butter)
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup Choclatique Rouge Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 large eggs
- Stir together the sugar and cinnamon and set aside.
- In a heavy deep skillet or deep-fryer, begin to preheat heat the oil to 360º F (use a thermometer). The oil should be at least 1-1/2 inches deep.
- In a medium saucepan, heat the water and margarine to a rolling boil. Combine the flour, cocoa powder and salt; stir into the boiling mixture.
- Reduce heat to low and stir vigorously until the mixture forms a ball, about 1 minute. Remove from heat and beat in the eggs one at a time.
- Spoon the mixture into a pastry bag fitted with a large star tip.
- Carefully squeeze out 4-inch long strips of dough directly into the hot oil. Fry 3 or 4 strips at a time, until golden brown, about 3 to 4 minutes on each side.
- Remove from hot oil to drain on paper towels.
- Roll each of the churros in the cinnamon-sugar mixture while still hot.
ChefSecret: If the oil isn't hot enough the churros will be greasy; if you fry the pastry at a higher temperature than noted they will not get fully cooked on the inside.
Dress the churros up for a dinner time dessert by drizzling a little dark chocolate sauce over the top and garnish with fresh seasonal berries.
To make the Chocolate Drizzle:
2 ounces Choclatique Private Reserve Dark Chocolate, chopped
1 teaspoon white vegetable shortening
- Place the chocolate and shortening in a small re-sealable freezer bag.
- Microwave on HIGH for about 30 seconds until chocolate is melted.
- Massage chocolate and shortening together in the bag.
- Snip off corner and drizzle over the fried churros that have been dredged in cinnamon-sugar.
Special Note: Leave it to Joan to find another use for churros. While surfing the internet for Cinco de Mayo festivities she came across a recipe for Churro Cupcakes on The Curvy Carrot website. I think it a great idea that we will be trying here this week. Go and grab a quick peak for yourself and see what you think. Think of the possibilities… I would consider making a Tres Leaches Churro Cake just to make sure you have a totally indulgent dessert for the May 5th.

Question 24 of 30
Where do toddlers pick up most of their vocabulary?
Between 86 and 98 percent of all words in a toddler's vocabulary come from Mom and Dad, which means that boosting your vocabulary will also boost your child's.
Question 25 of 30
What can you find in a thesaurus?
Before you use the same old words to describe something, try looking words up in a thesaurus to discover clever new synonyms.
Question 26 of 30
True or false: It takes 21 days to build a habit.
It actually takes 66 days to build a habit that sticks, so if you're trying to study your vocabulary each day, you'll have to work at it consciously for at least two months.
Question 27 of 30
True or false: Writing words down will help you remember them.
Writing is linked to tactile memory and can help keep new vocabulary words on the tip of your tongue.
Question 28 of 30
True or false: The SAT no longer tests knowledge of obscure words.
In spring 2016, the SAT dumped obscure vocabulary questions, much to the relief of students everywhere.
Question 29 of 30
What replaced the obscure vocab on the SAT?
high-frequency words
high-utility words
The vocabulary questions on the SAT now focus on high-utility word, which are terms that shift their meaning depending on the context and can be used in a variety of fields.
high-complexity words
Question 30 of 30
What percentage of English words have Latin roots?
30 percent
45 percent
60 percent
A full 60 percent of English words — and 90 percent of scientific and technical terms — have Latin roots, so even a little Latin study can have a significant impact on your vocabulary.

This recipe was one of fifteen winners in the 2007 Mix It Up with Betty! Cookie Mix Recipe Contest. More than $10,000 was awarded!
Refrigerating the bars for 30 minutes sets the chocolate so cutting and serving are a snap.
Line the pan with foil, leaving the edge of the foil above the rim of the pan on two opposite sides. Lightly grease foil in pan. Bake bars as directed. When cool, use foil "handles" to remove the bars from the pan. Cutting and cleanup are now a snap.
