President Obama and Speaker Boehner Talk Fiscal Cliff
President Obama hits the road after trying to work things out with the top Republican in Congress, behind closed doors.
Neither the white house nor Speaker John Boehner's staff said much about his sit-down with the President, who takes his case straight to America's workers.
In Michigan - where employees have been fighting for the right to work, President Obama visits a union engine plant to explain why he wants higher taxes for the wealthy.
Republicans say he needs to stay in Washington. "The president thinks he has momentum, I think he is running on adrenaline from the campaign," said Rep. Marsha Blackburn, (R) Tennessee.
"He's been to Pennsylvania, tomorrow he is going to Detroit. It's now time to govern. The election is over," said Rep. Kevin McCarthy, (R) California.
Today, we may learn if any progress was made when house Speaker John Boehner sat down with the President at the White House Sunday.
An aide gave no details, but says "the lines of communication remain open." "They've started to tango now. And, you know, any time you have two guys in there tangoing you have a chance to get it done," said Former White House Chief of Staff Erskine Bowles.
If there's no deal, some democrats say they're willing to go over the fiscal cliff, allowing big tax hikes and spending cuts. "I don't want to do it, the President doesn't want to do it. But we need to solve the problem," said Senator Dick Durbin, (D) Illinois.
But no one in Washington wants the middle class to pay more, and some Republicans want to take them off the table now. "It's not waving a white flag to recognize political reality." Rep. Tom Cole/ (R) Oklahoma
The deadline, now just three weeks away.
Tracie Potts, NBC News.

There are fun non-skiing activities in the summer as well, including boat cruises on the Mississippi Explorer and the exhilarating Alpine Slide, which speeds 2,000 feet down a hillside. Or try the new Segway Mountain Adventure Tours, a three-mile guided ride through rolling terrain.

The North Course sports elevated tees, long vistas through the countryside, rolling fairways and large undulating greens. Carved through a heavily wooded valley, a stream and natural rock outcroppings create dramatic views at the South Course. Lastly, an excellent test of accuracy, shot making and putting touch makes the par 34, nine-hole East Course unique.

Faster SD cards could reach devices next year
Memory cards based on a new specification will boost storage of consumer electronics to as much as 2TB, the SD Association said Thursday.
Memory cards based on a new specification will boost storage of consumer electronics to as much as 2TB, the SD Association said Thursday.
Western Digital has updated its ShareSpace NAS device network-attached storage (NAS) device, boosting capacity and transfer speeds. The price is high for a 4-bay NAS device, but the WD ShareSpace NAS device has some appealing qualities.
Proware's DN-500A-CM isn't a NAS device for the feint-hearted. What looks, feels and acts like a home-made attempt at network-attached storage is also difficult to configure and maintain. If you are up to the challenge though, it is expandable and has fast throughput speeds, as well as comprehensive RAID configuration options and good media server features.
Online storage sites, the toast of the Internet circa 2006, are shutting down in droves, putting the data and images of their users in jeopardy.
QNAP's TS-809 Pro Turbo NAS is the company's most powerful and highest capacity network-attached storage (NAS) device yet. Capable of hosting eight internal hard drives simultaneously for a maximum capacity of 16TB, this NAS device can certainly meet the storage and server hosting needs of small to medium businesses.
The Seagate Barracuda 7200.12 ST31000528AS is a 1TB internal desktop hard drive with a 32MB cache and a spin speed of 7200rpm. It has two 500GB platters and offers very fast transfer speeds.
Commercial solid state drives (SSDs) have finally started reaching the capacities found in the hard disk world, with the release of a new 512GB drive from US storage startup Super Talent.
The Iomega Home Media Network Hard Drive is a Gigabit Ethernet-capable NAS (Network-attached storage) device with a 500GB storage capacity.
Bearing the US Army's seal of approval, the Transcend StoreJet 25M-R portable hard drive boasts good speeds and shockproof casing to protect it from the rigours of travel.
The Iomega Screenplay Pro HD multimedia player can stream media over a network and record and play video and audio files directly from its internal 500GB hard drive. It offers support for popular and more niche video and audio formats. Unfortunately, it won't output video at a Full HD 1080p resolution and has a clunky interface, making this an ultimately disappointing media streamer.
The latest version of the Time Capsule -- Apple's Wi-Fi router with an integrated hard drive -- has some new tricks up its sleeve that make it a more versatile backbone for a home wireless network. Its cost and a lack of compatibility with Windows-based backup utilities are a trade-off for simultaneous dual-band operation and decent speeds.
Corsair Memory Inc. Tuesday introduced a USB flash drive adapter that it said creates a push-button file backup for computers when any flash drive is plugged into it.
The Kingston SSDNow M series SNM125-S2/80GB solid state drive provides excellent performance for a 2.5in hard drive, but the very high cost and low 80GB capacity make it a very expensive storage option.
The Maxtor OneTouch 4 Plus external desktop drive has a 750GB capacity and can connect to your PC through either USB 2.0 or FireWire 400 ports. It may not look pretty, but its good transfer speeds and fair pricing make it worth buying.
NAND flash memory vendors responded to the slowing economy and weak consumer confidence by phasing out production of 200mm wafer manufacturing and cutting overall flash memory production to an industry-wide average of 70% in the first quarter of this year, according to analysts.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Homecare Worker Goes the Extra Mile to Rescue the Elderly
Some 24,000 of JDC's 160,000 elderly Hesed beneficiaries live in villages located hundreds—even thousands—of miles from the nearest city, with rudimentary heating in rundown homes open to the cold and damp. Many have no indoor plumbing; some still get their drinking water from wells. Once hardy, these now fragile elderly brave the elements several times a day just to fill basic human needs.

Abraham's faith was accounted to him for righteousness—Man is justified by faith, righteous works, and grace.

8 Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin.
9 Cometh this blessedness then upon the circumcision only, or upon the uncircumcision also? for we say that faith was reckoned to Abraham for righteousness.

From obesity to diabetes, how startling discoveries about the womb are changing the way we think about health.
Women have heard for years all the things that are bad to eat when pregnant, but now we are learning that chocolate may be just what the doctor ordered.
We know childhood diabetes, teenage obesity, chronic depression and heart disease afflict millions of Americans in nearly epidemic proportions. And now, according to Annie Murphy Paul's new book, Origins: How the Nine Months Before Birth Shape the Rest of Our Lives, we are just starting to learn that those conditions may originate, at least partly, in the womb.
We've all heard about the effects of thalidomide exposure and fetal alcohol syndrome, but in recent years, the burgeoning science of "fetal origins" has made some surprising new discoveries about how conditions in the uterus can affect an adult person's health in the future.
For instance, pregnant women who were close to the Twin Towers on 9/11 and developed post traumatic stress disorder gave birth to babies with low levels of cortisol, a hormone that regulates stress. Women who are depressed while pregnant are likelier to deliver premature babies with low birth weights. These scientific discoveries reinforce the notion that, while a person's genetic code only offers a template for development, the conditions in the womb fine-tune the expression of those genes. It is the perfect welding of nature and nurture.
Origins investigates the consequences that the nine months of gestation have for infancy, childhood, adulthood and even old age. We get our DNA at the moment of conception, but the way our genes behave and the way they're expressed, can still be affected by the environment. Now we're learning that this kind of epigenetic modification, as it's known, happens most consequentially in the uterus.
And not at all surprising, we are what we eat or you are at least what your mother has eaten 9 months prior to your birth.
The expectant mother should eat fish, making sure it's low in mercury. And here's the best part—Moms-to-be should also eat a moderate amount of, you guessed it—chocolate! Chocolate is associated with a reduced risk of preeclampsia (hypertension and related problems during pregnancy).
Expectant mothers should also perform a moderate amount of exercise, because that gives the fetus a workout, too. And, moms and the people around them should help maintain a moderate level of stress because that actually accelerates fetal brain development.
But the bigger message is to keep an open mind. We are constantly learning new information about diet and its effects on our day-to-day lives. It seems that our mothers and grandmothers were correct when they told us "everything in moderation" including a little chocolate in your everyday diet.

Wasn't it supposed to be a double issue? But it is only 20 pages long :-S
In the world of the blind, the one eyed man is KING!
"Double issues", if that's the exact term used, are issues spanning two weeks, i.e. there'll be no FT next week. It doesn't make the chapter longer.
Chapter 158 isn't out yet, I believe. Unless you're actually referring to chapter 157?
Anyway, kuroihikari is right. A double issue would mean that there will be no issue published for next week, and next issue will only be available the following week. But was the current chapter in a double issue?
I'll leave this thread open till someone confirms with me.
Here is the extra chapter:
And don't worry there will be a chapter next week. Even color pages :o.

Two Bristol men shot in Pigeon Forge parking lot
One man is dead and another is in stable condition at UT Medical Center after being shot in Pigeon Forge Sunday evening.
Justin B. Dillard, 21, of Kentucky Avenue in Bristol, Tennessee died Sunday night after being shot in the parking lot of River Lodge South in Pigeon Forge. Also shot was Dillard's father, Travis B. Dillard, 47, of Weaver Pike in Bristol, Tennessee.
The two men, who were registered at the motel, were sitting in a white Nissan pick-up truck in the rear parking lot when approached by a man who asked them for money. He then shot both men while they were seated in the truck.
The shooter was described as a black man with dreadlocks wearing a purple shirt and jeans. He is approximately 5"10" tall and weighing approximately 250 pounds.
The shooter left the scene in a large white sedan, possibly a Buick.
Anyone with information is asked to call Pigeon Forge Police.

New Windows Chief Talks Sinofsky, Windows 8, Surface
Tiffany Kaiser
December 14, 2012 2:28 PM

Sender E-mail
(Source: Mashable)
Julie Larson-Green is working to fill Sinofsky's shoes
When Microsoft's Windows Chief Steven
Sinofsky hit the road
last month, Julie Larson-Green stepped in as the new sheriff in town (as far as Windows 8 goes, anyway). Larson-Green didn't inherit an easy role, so it's fair to ask: Can she fill Sinofsky's shoes?
Larson-Green, who has worked for Microsoft for 20 years and led the introduction of huge ideas like the ribbon interface for Microsoft Office, recently interviewed with Tom Simonite at
MIT Technology Review
in an attempt to offer insight on what it's like to grab hold of Windows' biggest redesign and attempt to bring everyone on board with the new look and feel.
According to Larson-Green, so far, so good. While Sinofsky was a strong force in the Windows environment with a brilliant mind and explosive personality, Larson-Green insists that "not much" has changed since she took over his position.
"I've worked directly with Steven for seven years but known him for the whole 20 years I've been at Microsoft," said Larson-Green. "We think a lot the same about what the role of Windows is in society, what computing looks like, and getting people on board with that point of view."
Getting everyone on board hasn't been easy. Windows has had a solid user interface design since Windows 95, which was the start of a more object oriented interface. Users had become accustomed to this for nearly two decades, and
Windows 8 flipped that entire concept
on its head.
Julie Larson-Green [Image Source: Microsoft]
Windows 8 features what was once called the Metro style user interface, with colorful live tiles and a repositioned Start button. The new design was mainly for touch purposes in mobile products like Microsoft's Surface and Windows Phone 8, but some have had a hard time digesting this new look for desktop use. So why the radical change?
"When Windows was first created 25 years ago, the assumptions about the world and what computing could do and how people were going to use it were completely different," said Latson-Green. "It was at a desk, with a monitor. Before Windows 8 the goal was to launch into a window, and then you put that window away and you got another one. But with Windows 8, all the different things that you might want to do are there at a glance with the Live Tiles. "
She added the importance of touch on desktops as well as mobile devices to enhance the experience of using Windows 8, while still giving users the option to have a keyboard and mouse. She said it takes people anywhere from two days to two weeks to get adjusted to all the changes in Windows 8, depending on how invested they were in the traditional versions.
This brings us to the Surface tablet, which is Microsoft's first homemade hardware running Windows. Larson-Green addressed the new product briefly (nothing about sales numbers or demand, which have been in speculation lately).
"It was a way to test our hypothesis of a new way of working," said Larson-Green. "It takes time for individuals to adjust, but it also takes time for the industry to adjust to new things—all the complicated things about the supply chain and issues like what sizes of glass gets cut. Surface is our vision of what a stage for Windows 8 should look like, to help show consumers and the industry our point of view on what near perfect hardware would look like."
Sinofsky, former president of Microsoft's Windows and Windows Live division, announced that he was
leaving the company
last month after a little over 23 years with the tech giant. It was reported as a "sudden" move that no one expected, but details about the departure show that the decision was contemplated for a while and even
backed by Microsoft co-founder and chairman Bill Gates
While Sinofsky was seen as a brilliant figure at Microsoft, his downfall was that he didn't get along with others within the company. He was notorious for picking fights with other executives, including current CEO Steve Ballmer, and even pushed former executives like chief software architect Ray Ozzie to quit.

IntroducingâV Australiaâ: Virgin Blue Announces Name Of New International Longhaul Airline And Livery25/07/2007
Competition on the Trans Pacific route is a step closer with the official announcement in Sydney today of the name of Virgin Blue's new long haul carrier and flagship aircraft.
Virgin Blue is also pleased to announce that yesterday it received formal confirmation from Australia's International Air Services Commission (IASC) that it has approval to operate return non-stop services between Australia and the United States commencing late 2008*.
"V Australia" will initially operate flights between the east coast of Australia and the west coast of the United States of America, with the first flight operated by a brand new B777-300ER launch aircraft named "Didgeree Blue".
The livery of "V Australia" was also unveiled today, keeping in touch with its Virgin Blue roots, but revealing a contemporary look which will launch a new era of competition on the Trans Pacific route. The airline will sport a smart silver fuselage with a red tail featuring the stars of the Southern Cross and elements of the Australian flag.
It will be the fourth airline in the Virgin Blue Group of Airlines including multi award winning domestic carrier Virgin Blue, New Zealand based airline Pacific Blue and Polynesian Blue, the joint venture airline between Virgin Blue and the Government of Samoa.
Virgin Blue put out a call to all Australians as part of a nationwide "Name the Airline" competition in conjunction with MIX FM radio station to help name the new international airline.
The competition attracted approximately 5942 entries which included some especially creative suggestions such as "Randy Roo Airlines", Choo Choo Flying Big Blue" and "Pineapple Airlines".
The clear favourite was however eventually selected by the judges from the thousands of entries with "V Australia", nominated by Teresa Manuel from Sydney, unanimously voted as the best name for the new airline.
"Didgeree Blue", suggested by Irene Wilson of Brisbane, was also chosen as the perfect name to grace the nosecone of V Australia's flagship and launch aircraft.
Virgin Blue Airlines Group Chief Executive, Brett Godfrey, said, "We had an amazing response to help name the airline and V Australia stood out among the entries. It is nice and simple, easily recognised, both understated and obvious and has a clear Australian identity.
"This is the first time in decades Australia has a start-up long haul international airline and we look forward to bringing competitive air fares and a new style of service to the Trans Pacific market."
Commenting on the new livery Brett Godfrey continued, "It is important for us to use the Southern Cross not only for its geographic connotations, but also for its place in Australian aviation folklore. Southern Cross was also the name of Charles Kingsford Smith's aircraft as the intrepid aviator opened the world to Australia with his record breaking long distance flights and we think it appropriate to reflect the very best of a modern confident Australia taking to the skies."
V Australia has also applied for permission from the United States Government to commence services in November 2008 and is continuing its progress with the development of its launch route network, product and fare structure.

I vote MP because basically, I had more fun viewing the thread, and it was a source of unparalled entertainment within the serious internet moments that happen on this site.
Dont get me wrong, I like the Akatsuki theory thread and I think it is worthy of thread of the year(I challenge anyone to disagree). But at the end of the day,members given the task of searching the internet to bring us hilarious pictures is something that I think makes that thread special.

A special event was held in Green River on Saturday. Organizers said, "It was our honor and privilege to host a dinner for all of our 65 Green River Veterans on Nov.6. Special recognition was given to our World War II Veterans, which include: Orson Anderson (Army Air force), Carlton Casper (Army), Jack Erwin (Navy), Bill Newland (Marines), and Paul Price (Army). A short biography of these special mens' years in the military was given which sometimes brought a smile and a tear to the audience.
"We want to thank all the Green River Veterans that attended the dinner and to everyone that helped make this a special tribute to our Veterans possible, the turn out was great and everyone enjoyed the delicious dinner and a very special program, from the talks about the Veterans to the beautiful songs, it was a very inspiring day for all that attended.
"It is with grateful appreciation for outstanding service to our country that we honor all our Green River Veterans so when you see any Veteran be sure and give him a smile and a great big thank you for a job well done, they are special," said organizers. The event was hosted by Beta Zeta Sorority of Green River.

So that was great! My only complaint so far is that my hair still isnt quit long enough( I ordered this to help me get my hair grown out from a short bob, I know its recommended for people to make long hair go short) anyways, I did cut in some more layers to make it even so it is def wearable right now but in a couple months I think this will work out great and I can get my long hair going again!!Nov 4, 2010JennyHAIR TYPEBlonde / Normal Hair / Color Treated Hair / Synthetic Hair

Easy & QuickI purchased this extension because I opted to get a short cut, which I have not done in 20 years. Needless to say I did not like the short cut and missed my hair. I purchased this 10" as I thought it would not seem so dramatic. It matched perfectly, you cannot even tell it's in. It's been comforting to have until my real hair comes back. I am considering another look for this winter. I love them, and think they are great.Dec 20, 2009Mary / Syracuse, NY

PerfectI LOVE THESE EXTENSIONS!!! The 10" length was perfect for me. I have my hair cut in a short layered bob that's 3+ inches above my shoulders. This hair piece added that extra couple of inches that I really wanted and didn't have the patience to wait for. THANK YOU!Dec 19, 2009HannahHAIR TYPERelaxed Hair

Beautiful but runs short
"The suede, sheen, keyhole and the heel are so so perfect!!! The problem with this shoe is that it runs pretty small. Am a size 10 and I couldn't do a size bigger since 10 was the biggest. You know what? Am keeping the 10, praying it will expand after various wears. BEAUTIFUL CRAFT!!!"

Epson NX - A cheap refurbed printer
By PotstickerGuru on Aug 31, 2009
I waited until Saturday evening to unpack and install. I used to dread hooking up printers because it'd be a lot of trial and error to get it working. But if folks have noticed since SNV build 90 or so, the printing has been greatly simplified by the support of CUPS option. Solaris LP is still standard on the system, but it's very easy to change. Simply, use the print-service -s cups command to switch over from regular LP to CUPS (see the man page for more info).
The reason why I bought it was due to clogged heads on my older Epsons, and try as I might with the Windex spray into the heads and soak over night (folks may want to do some web search on ammonia-based cleaning and declogging procedures), the black printing head was clogged beyond repair. I did get the colour printing going, but after many dark stains on my fingers, I gave up.
And the reason for my clogged inkjet heads was due to lack of use. Ever since my wife discovered 14 cents/picture Costco Photo Center then found out she can pick up in at most an hour (sometimes in 30 minutes!), she'd rather just print it there. So I don't need to print colour copies often at home, and if colour inkjet printers don't get used often, ink can dry on the heads and clog them up. Some printers are designed so the cartridges contain a fresh head, like the HP inkjet printers. However, this tends to add cost to each cartridge, but has the advantage that each cartridge comes with a new print-head. Needless to say, I placed my bets on lower cost cartridges.
Still, I have to print with a colour printer every Fall, and that's because my kids go back to school. Our school has an annual request for emergency rations and updated emergency contact information, which includes a couple of colour photos of each child that can be used in case of an emergency for identification by law enforcement or school staff.
So what was great about the NX400 was that it has USB and PictBridge. It allows me to directly print from the camera. It also has a small 2 inch or so colour LCD display. And the reason I bought it was because if I couldn't get Solaris to recognize it, at lease, with direct printing from a camera or USB, I could copy my picture onto some flash memory and use my camera as the printer driver. But deep down, I was hoping for CUPS to recognize it.
Upon plugging it in the first time, Solaris CUPS responded and loaded the driver for Epson Stylus CX8400. I brought up my browser and put in the URL for http://localhost:631/ and then tried to use the browser links to have CUPS print a test page. But after shooting out 5 pages of blanks, then marking the top of the next 20 pages with a couple of characters each, the NX400 was definitely not happy. So I managed to dequeue the remainder of the print job, and shut down the printer and restart it to clear the job. I guessed this would happen and it did so nothing was new. But I decided to make a concerted effort to try each printer type under Epson listed in CUPS and see if those drivers would work. One by one, I tried for about an hour, working backwards from the bottom of the list. I finally tried the Gimp-print driver for the Epson CX3100, and to my great surprise, the test page printed beautifully. I couldn't believe it, and setup a remote system to network print using this printer. On the remote side, I configured it to issue out generic Postscript. And it too printed out over the network! Fantastic.
Fig. 1. Epson NX200 multi-function printer/scanner/copier
So I went back to Fry's Sunday and found they were out of stock. There, I notice another Epson printer, the NX200, which looks almost the same in size, design, shape, and even multi-function scanner/copier features, except for no colour LCD display. Instead, it has push buttons. But this too, offers PictBridge and USB/SD card direct printing from my camera. When I asked the sales clerk if he had any NX200 units in the back, he said, "No." However he explained the Palo Alto store had 14 in stock. But what was amazing was the $29.99 price tag. A truly excellent deal considering the print cartridges are worth more than that.
I rushed to the Palo Alto store and on a hunch, picked up another printer, the NX200. Rushing home, I unpacked it, and it was indeed identical, using the same cartridges, and had the same chassis and only varied by the display and button interface. Plugging it in, and configuring CUPS, indeed, it uses the same Stylus CX3100 Gimp-print driver and prints well under Solaris. I went back to the Palo Alto store in the evening to check if there were more, and picked up 3 NX200s, no limit, at $29.99 each. I figured my parents, in-laws, and other friends might need a printer as a gift.
In printing out colour pictures, I found the PictBridge from my DigCam to printer to work great. Colours were vivid and accurate and no PC needed. However, printing from GIMP on Solaris, simple line art prints beautifully and fast. But photo-printing is too light in 360 DPI as well as 720x360DPI, but too dark using 720x720 DPI and finer. I tried playing around with GIMP brightness and contrast and colour saturation. I managed to get the 720x360DPI mode to print acceptable albeit somewhat grainy pictures, and in doing so, I also accomplished what I originally set out to do - to print my kids ID photo collage and age/height/wt info on the picture for their start-of-school-year emergency packet.

Skip to comments.Rep. Murtha Working With Code Pink to Undermine Morale of Wounded at Walter Reed
Posted on 01/10/2006 5:59:25 PM PST by kristinn
Rep. John Murtha (D-Pa.) met with leaders of the anti-American group Code Pink last week at the anti-Operation Iraqi Freedom meeting in Arlington, Virginia hosted by Rep. Jim Moran (D-Va.)
Code Pink posted pictures of the meeting along with a statement indicating they will be working with Rep. Murtha to deliver "kindness and support to the wounded soldiers" at Walter Reed.
Code Pink has given $650,000 to the terrorists in Fallujah, participated in war crimes tribunals against America and has called American soldiers "killers" on their website among many treasonous actions.
Text of Code Pink's statement on meeting Rep. Murtha:
Thank You Congressman Murtha! CODEPINK co-founder Gael Murphy and DC coordinator Allison Yorra met with Congressman Murtha to thank him for his courageous stand on Iraq. We presented him with our pink badge of courage and pink flowers sent by CODEPINK members nationwide. Rep Murtha was very appreciative of these gestures and requested that we ask legislators to support H.J Res 73 (Murtha's resolution). He also requested that we use additional donations for the wounded at Walter Reed. DC CODEPINK along with other peace groups involved in the weekly vigil at Walter Reed recently delivered baskets of goodies to the wounded at Walter Reed. Together, with Murtha's office, we will be continuing this outpouring of kindness and support to the wounded soldiers from CODEPINK.

Please save those pictures to your hard drives. Code Pink has been known to 'disappear' items from their website.
Proof that television camera lights destroy brain cells.
As always, great work -- thank you!
What a rancid f*****g traitor.
What, no (pink) balls?
President Bush should have him arrested, along with that former NSA guy who leaked classified information to help terrorists avoid our spies.
Murtha is a shameless human being. He is not a fellow Marine in my book.
Semper Fi'
"DC CODEPINK along with other peace groups involved in the weekly vigil at Walter Reed recently delivered baskets of goodies to the wounded at Walter Reed."
WTF? I'm curious what kinds of 'goodies' they delivered.
This guy has a screw loose. Actually all the screws in his brain.
I think this is outright treason and sedition.
Drunken on the sudden publicity and feeble of mind leads to these sad results.
They will never realize that their so called friends using them don`t give a rats behind when they are reduced to laughing stocks.
I'll raise you two. Contact his colleagues and tell them to stop him
|Code Yellow meets with Code Pink.
When I was in the Marine Corps, we had a name for guys like Murtha: shitbird
Murtha is looking for love, in all the wrong places..
He thinks these traitorous bitches in Code Pink can save his corrupt ass, once the investigations commence...
I'll believe the country is back on the right path, once we start executing traitors again....
Semper Fi
Memo from John McCain & John Kerry to Murtha.
You make us look good.
But last week when he said he wouldn't join today, and now this?! Hopping into bed with well known communists who have aided the terrorists in killing our soldiers is over the top. Murtha has gone over to the other side, without a doubt.
It's time to call his office and let them know what we think of joining up with a group that is funding our soldiers' murderers. We should also be contacting all our friends in the media, talk radio...
He needs an a$$kickin' by a Marine is what he needs.
This is more acceptable...
What a back stabbing SOB. Can anyone say "traitor?"
I hope they have people checking out the stuff these murderous bit##es delivered.
Dementia of the aged is one of the saddest things to witness.
Oh, NO! Say it isn't soooo! /sarcasm
I know my father is spinning in his grave.
Murtha is doing his damnedest to turn this into Vietnam II.
You have got to be kidding!
Murtha with Code Pink!? I had little respect for gentleman before but this is way over the line.
A - Murtha has zero, nada, zilch clue as to who and what Code Pink is or...
B - Murtha is a traitor to his country or...
C - he has lost his mind.
Aholes like Murtha are so transparent.
I'd like to thank Mr.'Marine' Murtha for serving our country.
Now that being said, He has clearly lost his mind.
Man, I hope none of our heroes fall for this sh!t.
I've heard there is another, much more offensive name to call Murtha: Ex-Marine.
I don't know the guy personally, however if your post is true and honest, Murtha must be a Democrat.
This is the most disgusting thing I have seen in a long time.
That's GOOD!
Is there some kind of 'ex-communication' for Marines?
If there is, please somebody call for it.
There is something very wrong mentally with Murtha given his association with Code Pink. Backstabbing is too kind of a word. He should show his true colors and get out on the street corner with the hateful hags of Code Pink.
What a Disgrace he is
He has quite a long road to travel to be able to salute Ted Kennedy with proved achievement.
Yep. Right about now.
This is exactly like Vietnam. Down to the almost the last detail. The only difference is we're pursuing a policy of victory. All the players are exactly as they were 30 years ago.
We're winning because of that single difference.
I'd like to know who is letting them thru the door!
Code PINKO has Murtha - what a perfect match!
Incredible. Yes.
Unbelievable. sadly, No.
This citizen Marine does not approve of the Congressman's actions in allying himself with such a shameless organization.
D-Murtha,, D stands for Despicable.
It's like watching a normal person sink slowly into red quicksand isn't it? This bit of news news to get out in a big way.

Mark Robison of MTM Hunting Adventures attended the southeastern region RAC meeting on Oct. 19 with his hunting partner, Justin Fuller, to make a special request. Robison began by explaining that he owns and operates MTM from his home in Salt Lake City. "We are a nonprofit organization that was started five years ago and we have taken 26 hunters out in the field. We specialize in taking physically challenged hunters out for the experience that every other hunter has.
"We are requesting a special hunt that will coincide with the youth elk hunt in September. The weather is usually better at that time and it would allow us to give these hunters a better chance to participate. Our suggestion is that a five day elk/deer combo hunt could be arranged.
"During the bucks and bulls meetings of the RACs, we have visited with all regions in the state and have been met with great enthusiasm. Every RAC has endorsed our proposal." Robison said.
Fuller said, "What Mark does is a great service to those of us who do not have the use of our legs. He makes it possible for us to do the things that all other hunters do. We get to experience the same things that others do during a hunt."
The southeastern RAC was no different. They endorsed this proposal 100 percent.
Robison had a chance meeting with a physically challenged young man at his business in Salt Lake several years ago. A conversation began about hunting and Robison offered to take the young man hunting. Following that one hunting trip, Robison knew what he had to do. His mission from then on would be to meet other physically challenged hunters and take them on a hunt.
MTM Hunting purchases landowner permits, and also accepts donations or money or permits, as ways of providing opportunities for the hunters. Robison also stated that if a physically challenged hunter draws out on a hunt, they need only call MTM and the arrangements for the hunt will be made.
Robison recognizes that because an injury or illness has taken away the use of a person's lower extremities, that person still retains the ability to enjoy the outdoors, albeit in a different way.
Any special need of the outdoorsman that Robison takes on an outdoor experience will be accomplished in some manner. Robison constructed a gun portable gun rest to mount of the back of his 4-wheeler for one young hunter who was having difficulty steadying the rifle. That young man was successful on the next trip.
To make a donation or find out how you can help, contact MTM Hunting Adventures call 1-801-232-9187.

Living with type 1 diabetes isn't easy — for you or for your child. Good diabetes management requires a lot of time and effort, especially in the beginning.
Diabetes can affect your child's emotions both directly and indirectly. Poorly controlled blood sugar can directly affect his or her emotions by causing behavior changes, such as irritability. And if that happens at a birthday party because your child forgot to take insulin before having a piece of cake, he or she could end up fighting with friends.
Another way diabetes can take a toll on your child's emotions is by making him or her feel different from other kids. Most of the time, children don't want to be different, and having to draw blood and give themselves shots definitely sets kids with diabetes apart from their peers. Getting your child together with other children who have diabetes may help make your child feel less alone.
People with diabetes have an increased risk of depression and anxiety, which may be why many diabetes specialists regularly include a social worker or psychologist as part of their diabetes care team.
Teenagers, in particular, may have a particularly hard time dealing with diabetes. A child who has been very good about sticking to his or her diabetes regimen may rebel in the teen years by ignoring his or her diabetes care.
Teens may also have a harder time telling friends or boyfriends or girlfriends that they have diabetes because they want to fit in. They may also experiment with drugs or alcohol, behaviors that can be even more dangerous for someone with diabetes. Eating disorders and forgoing insulin to lose weight are other problems that can occur more often in the teen years.
Talk to your teen, or ask your teen's doctor to talk to your teen, about the effects of drugs and alcohol on someone with diabetes. If you notice that your child or adolescent is persistently sad or pessimistic, or if you notice dramatic changes in his or her sleeping habits, friends or school performance, talk to your doctor or a therapist to have your teen assessed for depression. Additionally, let your child's doctor know if you notice that your son or daughter is losing weight or doesn't seem to be eating well.
Talking to a counselor or therapist may help your child or you to cope with the dramatic lifestyle changes that come with a type 1 diabetes diagnosis. Your child may find encouragement and understanding in a type 1 diabetes support group for children. Support groups for parents also are available.
Although support groups aren't for everyone, they can be good sources of information. Group members often know about the latest treatments and tend to share their own experiences or helpful information, such as where to find carbohydrate counts for your child's favorite takeout restaurant. If you're interested, your doctor may be able to recommend a group in your area.
Or you can visit the websites of the American Diabetes Association, the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF) or Children with Diabetes to find support and regional activities for people with type 1 diabetes and their families. The American Diabetes Association also offers diabetes camp programs that provide children and teens with diabetes education and support. And these groups offer online information and forums for children and teens.
Because complications from poorly controlled diabetes can be so frightening, it's important to remember that many studies — and therefore, a lot of literature you may be reading — were completed before many advances in diabetes care occurred. And that means many of those scary statistics don't necessarily apply to your child. If you and your child work with your child's doctor and do your best to control blood sugar levels, your child will likely live a long and normal life.

Assessor Training special
4 days training with POE developement
Cost R2000
Need more details
contact: email@example.com
Views: 160
Hi Shantal, we've had this discussion with another provider before: What do you mean by POE development? Are you suggesting that it takes place during the training - or do you have followup sessions?
Hi Shantal, your answer isn't very clear. Who is the trainer assessor assessing? How does the trainee assessor prepare the person they are assessing? Maybe you could clarify a bit more about the content of the programme - what takes place on what day? Also as Samantha asks - how are the notional hours calculated?
I really am looking forward to some of the responses. Please be careful as the completion of the requirements during training is very suspect. 150 notional hours of study needs some explaining as suggestd by Samantha.
Remember there are two POE's required one of which must be a real live actual assessment with assessment instrument, marking memo etc etc.
Thanks Shantal, we appreciate your position. I suggest that you pass on the questions and comments to your boss and ask for a reply that you can post on the site.
