Re: Young liveaboard after Navy
I am currently AD(active duty) Navy. I have saved enough in three years to out and out buy a 30' or so boat, and then some for renovations. Not enough, however, to pay for slipfees/electricity/amenities that most want/need. Joining the Navy has been a great thing for me. I get good pay, great benefits, and meet wonderful people(some not so wonderful perhaps). But even with all this, you still need a plan for a post Navy career. With all the resources that the DoD provides these days, you have to have a real lack of motivation/will power to need unemployment post service. If you want to serve, serve, but I can tell you form experiance, those who are in it for the benefits, usualy hate their 4+ years.

Re: Young liveaboard after Navy
If you ever come back to find this thread:
I separated six months ago after eight years active.
Current (right now) experience says: if you rank up quickly, if you keep all your ducks in a row, if you don't mess up and do something stupid, and if you don't spend all your money on ridiculous things and alcohol and strippers in foreign ports, sure. Military pay may not be what it should be, but it's plenty to save enough to set yourself up for success if you keep your eye on the prize.
Unemployment at the moment is 6-18 months depending on what state you're in and if you're using the GI Bill (requires 36 months of service for full benefits) you don't need to be actively looking for a job.
I'm looking right now for something 30-35' to liveaboard with money I've saved in the last eight (three?) years. It's possible.
Re: Young liveaboard after Navy
Ditch the navy, get a job at McDonalds for a year buy a Columbia 24 and your free.
Re: Young liveaboard after Navy
I think if I had to do it all over again, I would have gone to college on ROTC and served my 20 years. I would just have gotten out a few years ago and would have a pension. There is NO company out there that offers a pension like the military, heck very few companies do more than match a small portion of your 401K any more. If you want to retire young (or at all) then the military is the way to go. While it will not make you rich after you get out, you can live more comfortably off of it than Social Security and it should be enough to support a cruising lifestyle.
I was a rebellious youth and the thought of following orders made my stomach turn. Now I truly wish I had served my country via the military, and not just for the pension either. I have many friends who have and are currently doing this.
Re: Young liveaboard after Navy
I see a reoccurring theme here.
Work hard at whatever you do and you will see your dream come true..
I counsel a lot of young troops. It doesn't bother me in the least when the get out. What bothers me is that most of them have no goals and don't have a plan in place to get to that goal. I like to see everyone be successful.
Seasalt, make a plan and have a goal and stick to it... then you will be successful.
Re: Young liveaboard after Navy
I can't speak to the Navy side of your plan, But as far as the liveaboard on 30-35ft sailboat and being young, I'll say you have to be incredibly disciplined with your money throughout the process of saving. Don't try to reach a benchmark of $20,000 and be done saving, because the boat will become your home and you'll have to dump more money into it to make it comfortable and functional. I paid $15,000 cash, but it took about 7 years since I was 19 and came up with the idea to do it. I worked through college, though, not Navy, and it took a full-time desk job, a service (valet parking) job (nights and weekends, 50 hrs a week) for 4 years until I had the money set aside. Just enough, too. And now my credit card is racked up with the immediate repairs and details I've put into my boat.
It's possible, but just realize it's not a fairytale. It's fun and enjoyable, but because it's "different" people make it difficult to do. As in, finding a boat, finding a slip, etc. Having a Navy background by then will surely work in your favor, it's admirable and people of all generations respect it, they want to give back a little and will probably help you through the hoops more than the average person. Also, you'll go into it with more marine and naval knowledge which wouldn't hurt.
See how long you go with the dream in your head, if it fades in a month then forget it because it takes more than that to commit to saving and saving and saving for an unknown payout. But if you're like me and other people that do it, the dream won't ever fade, and you'll never second guess what your put all your effort into.
Good luck. And think about getting a job afterwards, it's more realistic because you will have to work to sustain living on a boat.
Young liveaboard after Navy
Sea salt: at the age of 18 I can't believe that you are already trying to figure out a scheme to have the government support your young able unemployed self. Get off your rump and contribute!
Re: Young liveaboard after Navy
I started in the service with a guy that knew he wasn't going to do more than 6 years. We both had a great time and i have a life long friend.
Little did i know that he was penny pinching the whole time; given that we put down a LOT of beer. Yet, when he got out; he bought a nice used car and travelled the country for a year with a buddy from college. Camping, bumming a room from old service buddies and just having a good time. He must have saved about 15k; and that was in 1992. He had one goal in that year. Drink 55 gals of beer and 10 gals of liquor. He never achieved his goal boat real close. It was all about the fun.
He is now very successful with a beautiful family.
Lesson learned. He did what he wanted and had a great time!
Hope this helps
Re: Young liveaboard after Navy
Thank you all for your quick and understanding advice.I was looking into the 20 years and I could see myself doing that.
airbornesf,Read my mind I was going to reply back and ask if that would be a good idea,But I guess you already said it, Thanks!
Re: Young liveaboard after Navy
Bene, you stole my thunder, but I'll say it anyway - thank you to both Chuck and you for your service. We are a better country for it!
Sea Salt, I think you've gotten some good advice. Next you'll have to manage your expectations - are you expecting to buy a $5,000 boat, a $25,000 boat, or a $200,000 boat? Do you understand what each of those pricepoints (or whatever your desired/expected pricepoint) will buy you in a boat? Over the 4 years you think you'll be in, the math needed to hit that savings level works out very differently for each of those scenarios. Figure out what it will take each month to meet your expected savings, then look into how much you'll get paid each month (remember to subtract out taxes), and what you'll be left with once you set aside your boat money. What kind of lifestyle will that buy you? Are you OK with that? Those are very personal questions, and I can't answer them for you. If you REALLY want this, it may well be worth the sacrifice it takes. And, if you wind up changing your mind, you'll have a nice little nest egg to buy a car, or house, or... But, as Chuck and Bene said, you'll have to be disciplined, and having been your age (a long time ago), that can be very difficult, especially when a pretty girl comes along (and especially if she isn't as into the whole living-aboard-a-sailboat idea).
Once you're out and you have your boat, your next issue will be maintenance and slip fees. You'll either need a job for those (intentionally living off any kind of unemployment is, IIRC, a crime) or additional savings. In the end, it may still be cheaper than an apartment.
I'm not saying its right, not saying its wrong, just suggesting a framework by which you can evaluate the implications for you and your life. If you understand (as much as anyone can really understand) what you're in for and you're still willing to make the commitment, then it sounds like some of what you want isn't out of the question.

Fantasy Baseball Morning Update: King Felix's next start in doubt
Nice job on that no-hitter, Johan Santana. 8,020 games is a long time for a team to wait for one of those.
Felipe Paulino tossed six shutout innings Friday night, Edinson Volquez was solid despite walking five batters on Saturday, and Michael Fiers didn't quite get it done for us on Sunday. With the streaming starter record at 38-23 for the season, today's pick is Dillon Gee (owned in 5.5 percent of FOXSports.com leagues) against the Cardinals, who have scored a total of one run in their last three games against the Mets. Tuesday's selection is Cincinnati's Homer Bailey (9.1 percent owned), who has whiffed 18 batters against three walks in 21 1/3 innings over his last three starts, and faces the weak-hitting Pirates. The Cardinals-Mets game is at 1:10 p.m. ET, so set your lineups early.
On to the news:
- Mariners' ace Felix Hernandez was still feeling tightness in his back Sunday after slipping on the mound last Friday, and might not make his scheduled Wednesday start against the Angels. One M's beat writer thinks Hernandez should be placed on the DL to be safe. We should know more later today or tomorrow, but if you're setting a weekly lineup, benching King Felix is the smart move.
- OF Ryan Braun (Achilles) and 3B Aramis Ramirez (quad) were both out of the Brewers' lineup on Sunday, but they're hoping to be back on Tuesday. Braun made a pinch-hitting appearance, which is a good sign.
- The Giants are hoping to get 3B Pablo Sandoval back from the DL on Friday. Sandoval might be in some legal trouble based on his activities over the weekend, but it shouldn't affect his playing status.
- Vance Worley will come off the DL to pitch tonight for the Phillies. Worley will reportedly pitch with bone chips in his elbow, and while I'm no doctor, this doesn't sound good. He'll reportedly be on a pitch count tonight.
- Dustin Pedroia (thumb) expects to return to the Red Sox lineup on Tuesday. Is anyone else worried that after all the efforts to keep him off the DL, he's just going to end up there, anyway?
- Ernesto Frieri saved games on Friday and Saturday for the Angels getting five of his seven outs on strikeouts. It certainly looks like he's the closer.
- Blue Jays 1B/DH Edwin Encarnacion is day-to-day with a bruised hand.
- Rays OF Desmond Jennings is expected to come off the DL in time for Tuesday's series opener against the Yankees.
- The Mets hope to get SS Ruben Tejada back from the DL on Friday.
- The Rockies placed SP Juan Nicasio on the DL with a knee strain. It's a good thing Jorge De La Rosa's rehab is ... oops, scratch that.
- The Daniel Bard starting experiment isn't going so well. After Sunday's miserable outing, Bard has a 5.24 ERA with 34 strikeouts against 37 walks in 55 innings. If Bard keeps pitching like this, he should consider changing his name to "Ubaldo."
- Chris Sale had another terrific start on Sunday. He's the real deal, as long as his arm doesn't fall off.
- Royals 1B Eric Hosmer has a six-game hitting streak that has featured a couple of homers. Is this the breakout? Maybe? Finally?
- From 2008-11, Dodgers C A.J. Ellis hit eight home runs in 1,008 at bats between the minors and majors. This season, he has six in 143 at bats, along with a .934 OPS. This is a great story, but don't expect it to continue at this pace.
- Here's a Sunday tweet from Arizona Republic D-backs' beat writer Nick Piecoro: "Gerardo Parra asked an old lady near Dbacks dugout to touch his bat. If he got a hit, he'd give it to her. He homered. And gave her the bat." Fantastic.
- The Tigers have placed OF Andy Dirks on the DL with an Achillies injury. With the Tigers depleted by injuries, Don Kelly could get some quality outfield time over the next week or two. Kelly isn't much of a hitter, but still could be worth an AL-only add.
- After getting skipped last time through the rotation, Jaime Garcia is expected to start on Tuesday for the Cardinals.
- Twins C Joe Mauer is day-to-day with a sprained right thumb. It doesn't sound serious.
- Matt LaPorta is now part of the Indians' 1B/DH rotation. LaPorta had 14 homers in Triple A before his weekend promotion, but he has always been a disappointment in the majors. He might be worth an AL-only add, but that's it.
- The Astros have called up OF Fernando Martinez, and will give him most of the starts in right field at the expense of Brian Bogusevic. It seems like Martinez has been a prospect forever, but he's only 23, and was batting .319 with eight homers, 38 RBI, 32 runs and a .906 OPS before his promotion. He should be scooped up in NL-only leagues if still available.
- Carlos Marmol hasn't regained the Cubs' closer job yet, but I still think it's coming. He's only walked TWO batters in three innings since coming off the DL, and both were in the same outing. That's progress!
- Adam Jones' right wrist has been bothering him for awhile, and he's going to have an MRI today (the O's are off). If you own Jones, keep him in the lineup until you hear worse news than this.
- This week's edition of Free Agent Frenzy is ready for your review. Please read it if you want me to have a good Monday.
See you back here tomorrow morning.

Back when the Johns Hopkins Institute for NanoBioTechnology first formed, we had an executive committee with faculty members from every University division to help guide our early footsteps. One of those memebers was Peter Devreotes, professor of cell biology at the School of Medicine.
Over the years Devreotes has advised and mentored students from the high school to postdoctoral level who are associated with INBT in his laboratory. Here, we have a short question and answer with Devreotes, produced for the Institute for Basic Biomedical Sciences newsletter. We e get to know a little bit about this faculty member, his personal and research interests and what inspires him.
How did you decide to study science?
DEVREOTES: I never thought about anything else. My father taught me a lot of math and took me on nature walks. I developed this fascination with everything in nature and wanted to know how it worked—I still do. I was actually a physics major in college—didn't take a single biology class-but I decided to do a Ph.D. in biophysics, at Johns Hopkins' Homewood campus. I was immediately fascinated by the mechanics of cells.

According to thebuddhism.net news site, in an article dated January 10th, 2013, former US President Bill Clinton has hired his own personal Buddhist monk to teach him how to properly meditate.
Bill is learning to meditate and has reportedly turned to a vegan diet as well. All this change has apparently been influenced by his recent heart scare where in February 2004 when he was rushed to Columbia Presbyterian Hospital in New York City because he started experiencing some awful chest pains.

From AragoWiki
How-To Install Opentest Client tools
- Find a Ubuntu system (10.04 or later should be fine)
- Download and untar latest opentest_installer*.tar.gz (recommended 13.09 or later) from http://arago-project.org/files/releases/opentest/
- Run the installer (e.g. ./install_opentest.sh) and select option 8 (Command Line Tools). This option will also install the STAF utility. For installation details see the list below:
- The installer will install Java if required
- Then it will install STAF (you can leave all the default install values)
- Then it will install opentest_client components. You can leave default values for most options, however subnets must be entered. If you are in the US we recommend entering at least following 3 subnets (separated by spaces): 158.218.*.* 10.218.*.* 128.247.*.*
- When prompted for the Tools installation menu select option 1 to Install All tools.
- When prompted where to install the files you can enter . to install in the current directory. You should see this directory in the next prompt.
- Finally you can select option 9 to quit.
How-To Start STAF
- Check if STAF is running
$ staf local help Usage: STAF [-verbose] <Endpoint | LOCAL> <Service> <Request>
- If you don't get an error while running staf local help command, then STAF is running and you are good to go. However if you do get an error then you need to open /usr/local/staf/STAFEnv.sh and verify that STAF_INSTANCE_NAME is set to a value as shown below
if [ $# = 0 ] then STAF_INSTANCE_NAME=STAF else if [ $1 != "start" ] then STAF_INSTANCE_NAME=$1 else # Ignore "start" STAF instance name STAF_INSTANCE_NAME=STAF fi fi export PATH LD_LIBRARY_PATH CLASSPATH STAFCONVDIR STAF_INSTANCE_NAME
- Source the /usr/local/staf/STAFEnv.sh script to properly initialize your environment for STAF (assuming that STAF was installed in the default location).

How-To Run Testlink tests plans on the boards Farm
- Make sure you have already install Opentest Client tools
- Also verify that STAF is running
- Run linux-devtest.py -T from the location where you installed Opentest client tools
./linux-devtest.py -T <Testlink testplan> ...
- Please check linux-devtest.py help for more details
linux-devtest.py arguments help
command help
# use -h flag to show command help ./linux-devtest.py -h
-hw argument
The -hw argument selects the type of hardware (aka DUT) to run the tests on. It is also possible to specify capabilities or requirements that selected DUT must have. For instance, capabilities could be used to ask for a board that has an usb mass storage device attached to it. The argument syntax is -hw evm,capabilities where capabilities is an optional underscore-separated list of strings Valid evm names are the same used by OE/Yocto: am335x-evm, omap5-evm, beaglebone, dra7xx-evm, etc. For valid capabilities see Capabilities cheat sheet
linux-devtest.py ... -hw omap5-evm,linux
-p, -b, -k, -m, -d, -r, -n Software arguments
Set software images (i.e. bootloader, kernel, filesystem, etc.) to used for the test. It is not mandatory to provide all of them. For example if bootloader (-p and -b) are not provided then the system will try to boot the DUT using whatever bootloader image is already installed on it. Most software image values can take either a local path or a http/ftp url. Use ./linux-devtest.py -h for more details
-u, --user-bins argument
Executable or tarball of executables that should be installed on FS. This is useful for cases where user wants to run a binary that is not available in the default filesystem The value provided can be either a local file or a public http/ftp url
linux-devtest.py ... -u /home/tmp/myapp
-s, --script argument
Use this option to run any arbitrary commands or a shell script in the DUT. The syntax is either a string of semicolon-separated commands (e.g. "echo 'hello'; echo 'bye'") or a path to a shell script. In either case the test will pass if the return value of the commands or script is zero.
linux-devtest.py ... -s /home/tmp/mytest.sh
-t, --tests argument
Use this option to run your own ltp-ddt test plan. Please note that -s, -t and -T are mutually exclusive options
linux-devtest.py ... -t mytests
To create your own ltp-ddt test plan follow this steps:
- Update default tests. This will clone ltp-ddt project if required.
./linux-devtest.py -U
- Create a copy of default test plan
cp tests/default.py tests/mytests.py
- Modify tests_to_run list in tests/mytests.py to suit your needs by copying entries from tests_available list into it.
Each entry in tests_available lists points to a ltp-ddt test scenario (aka test suite). The syntax is:
<test scenario name>:<setup requirements>:<test cases filter>
-T, --testplan argument
Use this option to run a Testlink test plan. If you use this option results will be stored in the Testlink server. The Testlink Testplan name syntax is: <project name>:<testplan name>
./linux-devtest.py -T linux_psp2:ch_sandbox
This command will return the list of projects
./linux-devtest.py --list-projects
and this one will return the testplans available for linux_psp2 project. linux_psp2 is the project name for most Linux-related work
./linux-devtest.py --list-testplans 1140921
-f, --farm argument
forces usage of a board in a farm.
-f tigt_farm
advanced-params are variables that advanced users can set to tweak execution. At the moment the only advanced-params supported by linux-devtest.py is var_use_default_env. Usually linux-devtest.py will try to boot the DUT using provided software images (i.e. kernel, filesystem, etc.), but advanced users may change that default behavior.
- var_use_default_env=1 means Boot using default environment (i.e. env default -a -f; boot )
- var_use_default_env=2 means Do not touch uboot env, just power cycle and let it go
- If you get ImportError: No module named argparse while running linux-devtest.py then you need to install python-argparse
$ sudo apt-get install python-argparse

Hypothesis testing and long range memory
It's important to realise that there is nothing magic about processes with long term persistence. This is simply a property that complex systems – like the climate – will exhibit in certain circumstances. However, like all statistical models that do not reflect the real underlying physics of a situation, assuming a form of LTP – a constant Hurst parameter for instance, is simply an assumption that may or may not be useful. Much more interesting is whether there is a match between the kinds of statistical properties seen in the real world and what is seen in the models (see below).
So what did Koutsoyiannis et al do? They took a small number of long station records and compared them to co-located grid points in single realisations of a few models and correlate their annual and longer term means. Returning to the question we asked at the top, what hypothesis is being tested here? They are using single realisations of model runs, and so they are not testing the forced component of the response (which can only be determined using ensembles or very long simulations). By correlating at the annual and other short term periods they are effectively comparing the weather in the real world with that in a model. Even without looking at their results, it is obvious that this is not going to match (since weather is uncorrelated in one realisation to another, let alone in the real world). Furthermore, by using only one to four grid boxes for their comparisons, even the longer term (30 year) forced trends are not going to come out of the noise.
Remember that the magnitude of annual, interannual and decadal variability increases substantially as spatial scales go from global, hemispheric, continental, regional to local. The IPCC report for instance is very clear in stating that the detection and attribution of climate changes is only clearly possible at continental scales and above. Note also that K et al compare absolute temperatures rather than anomalies. This isn't a terrible idea, but single grid points have offsets to a co-located station for any number of reasons – mean altitude, un-resolved micro-climate effects, systematic but stable biases in planetary wave patterns etc. – and anomaly comparison are generally preferred since they can correct for these oft-times irrelevant effects. Finally (and surprisingly given the attention being paid to it in various circles), K et al do not consider whether any of their selected stations might have any artifacts within them that might effect their statistical properties.
Therefore, it comes as no surprise at all that K and colleagues find poor matches in their comparisons. The answer to their effective question – are very local single realisations of weather coherent across observations and models? – is no, as anyone would have concluded from reading the IPCC report or the existing literature. This is why no one uses (or should be using) single grid points from single models in any kind of future impact study. Indeed, it is the reason why regional downscaling approaches exist at all. The most effective downscaling approaches use the statistical correlations of local weather to larger scale patterns and use model projections for those patterns to estimate changes in local weather regimes. Alternatively, one can use a regional model embedded within a global model. Either way, no-one uses single grid boxes.
What might K et al have done that would have been more interesting and still relevant to their stated concerns? Well, as we stated above, comparing statistical properties in the models to the real world is very relevant. Do the models exhibit LTP? Is there spatial structure to the derived Hurst coefficients? What is the predictability of Hurst at single grid boxes even within models? Of course, some work has already been done on this.
For instance, Kiraly et al (2006, Tellus) calculated Hurst exponents for the entire database of weather stations and show that there is indeed significant structure (and some uncertainty in the estimates) in different climate regimes. In the US, there is a clear difference between the West Coast, Mountain States, and Eastern half. Areas downstream of the North Atlantic appear to have particular high Hurst values.
Other analyses show similar patterns (in this case, from Fraedrich and Blender (2003) who used the gridded datasets from 1900 onwards), though there is enough differences with the first picture that it's probably worth investigating methodological issues in these calculations. What do you get in models? Well in very long simulations that provide enough data to estimate Hurst exponents quite accurately, the answer is mostly something similar.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|GSD Fan
I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who replied to this thread!
I am going to move and after making some calls, I found out the move will cost so much that it will be a while before I can get a car. I had forgotten that moving can be expensive, especially if the place is not furnished.
Also, the option of car pooling to college just appeared. I do not know how to drive in the city, so I'll probably be riding with someone who does.
Thank you guys so much for your advice!
Working at a tow yard I can say a car at auction is no bargain. The cars that are left over that we an sell all need work. Most go to scrap and even the ones that appear nice like a BMW end of needing $1000-$2000 worth of work to make them reliable.
You may find a good used car from a private party, but you really need to know the type of car you are looking for well. The Kelley Blue Book website is a good source for information and even what to expect if buying a new car.
As for renting, I cannot offer much other than take things slowly since moving and buying a car are both stressful, so maybe do one of them at a time, wait a couple months then do the other.
We used to rent but I was super picky about the type of place and the neighbors. I wanted "normal" people, by that I mean working adults and families, not weird people sitting around all day yelling through the walls or college kids that just partied. We found an apartment complex that was affordable, yet did a very thorough background check. We liked it there. Our neighbors were very diverse but there were never any problems. Everyone was working and respected other people's space and privacy. No nosy people and no parties. Personally I feel like where I live is pretty important so I shopped around quite a bit and wasn't going to just settle on the first place that seemed like a good deal. Also as a young woman I consult the public sex offender registries. Sometimes you get what you pay for. After our apartment, we lived in a nice duplex for a while and then bought our house when the market bottomed out and it was cheaper to buy/own than rent.
When it comes to cars, I never had one until I got married and then after that, we just got junkers cheap. We have a good mechanic we trust and it's still cheaper to fix things as they come than pay $200-$300 car payment a month for 3-5 years. When I got my minivan, we did get a car loan because I wanted something a bit newer (as in, not made in the mid-90s and this was 2004 when we got it) so that it was reliable with me driving long distances usually alone. I was able to pay it off a bit early and will be driving it until it falls apart.
I have bought two cars from dealers in my life. (of many cars.) First one was my first car which I coowned with my folks. Second one I was in my early 40s - it was a huge old toyota crown. It had a very short life. The ford I bought in 1992 from a private party (it was a year old.) I still have it. (I bought a lot of other cars between these.)
I would be warry of public auction cars - I'd check them out very carefully before bidding. Look for certs that they have not been subject to a flood or in a serious wreck. Make sure they have a title and not a salvage title.
Sounds like you had a wierd neighbor the first time out. There are wierd neighbors out there, there are also really terrific neighbors. Keep in mind, a noise canceling "radio" could make your conversations hard to track for a nosey neighbor. Also being very open could make you incredibly boring. Or being disgustingly friendly...
Let me tell you what my Mom did to me one time at a car auction....I went and I bid on a nice little wagon and was done, but my mom wasn't. She decided I needed a van and while I was wrapping up things with the wagon she ended up with a van. Now this might not sound bad, but she decided that I would pay her back for the van that I never wanted by working at her pizza place for free. She was never one to argue with so I spent many hours working for a van I never wanted...true story I swear
Look around for deals for the car and don't be afraid to take the next step if you feel you are ready as far as moving. Only you can decide that. Good Luck
|I think robk gave you great advice about the car, and I'd look at a private seller too. Lots of people sell their old cars for cheap when they want a new one. The thing about this new apartment that I want to point out is that if you're a private person then it might not be a good idea to live surrounded by people who do nothing all day, because they're retired. I know lots of retired people who've enjoyed this time in their life, where they devote alot of time to volunteering for causes they believe in. However, I also know from past experience that it only takes a couple of busybodies to make your life a living nightmare. So before taking this new place, I'd be looking to meet the neighbors first. If they're friendly and interesting and have a life, then go for it. If they're nosey and critical and sit at the window watching the action all day long then save yourself the nightmare of being their next entertainment. Good luck with your decision!
|Sorry you responded while I was responding.. glad to know more about your social life.. makes a difference. Don't mean to make you sound like a fragile, unsociable person..
I'm not going to sit here and tell you that you have to move out or you shouldn't leave. Because as others stated.. it's really going to come down to you and what you know is right for you.. btu I can give my opinion. In my experience, moving away from home might actually help with your people skills.. and staying home may only deepen that fear. I also think that it is so unfortunate that your first move went the way it did. I'm sorry you had to deal with that. Just know that not everyone is that way. and if you decide to move it might actually be a good thing to introduce yourself to your neighbors. If not only to let them know you are are a nice person and not a sketchy character, though keeping to yourself wouldn't be a bad idea either, it really is up to you and your comfort level. I think when you have had a bad experience it tends to stick with you and that's why you are unsure of yourself right now. The first time I lived on my own was in Germany.. military moved me there for my first station. I was scared outa my mind. I was 18 and not ready for that.. it put me in a situation where I had to decide to be uncomfortable the entire time and not talk to anyone outside my home, or get the courage to go out, walk around, take Titan places, wave to my neighbors, etc. It was the best experience I ever had. IT set the tone for how I want to be at every new place I move, because it's a lot. Now my situation is very different because I had no choice but I wanted you to know that I struggled too and once you find a good place, it really is an incredible growing experience.
On the other side. Staying home may be beneficial too as someone stated, where you can learn to be more social and unafraid of being ridiculed. It may set the foundation for confidence in your future home.
As for the car.. I'm sorry but I don't have experience with that.
Mind me asking how old you are and if you will be bringing you dog?

If this is the case, get treatment for that and stay at home with your parents where you feel more secure. Then once you can get into an elevator and start up a conversation with anybody that smiles at you, your ready to move on, from what I read here, your not ready and asking here is the proof. Sorry to be blunt, know about these feelings and the inability to just talk about the weather to a stranger seems difficult, you need emotional stimulation and what's called coping skills !!
btw, a bus pass is your ticket..
I CAN comingle with the neighbors, but I know from experience it's not worth it. It's better to live some place for years without knowing your neighbor's name or face, then to be nice to them and have them making comments about you and listening to every single one of your phone calls.

Published Nov. 1, 2013
Springfield, Ohio – For the second year in a row, Wittenberg will freeze its tuition and fees, a decision that was approved by the university's Board of Directors during its fall meeting.
Wittenberg's tuition will remain at 2012-2013 levels for all students, while the university continues to provide more than $35 million in scholarships and financial assistance. Currently, more than 95 percent of students attending Wittenberg receive financial support, and the amount of grant students receive from Wittenberg varies based on the results of the FAFSA form.
"By having a zero percent increase, Wittenberg is actually better able to provide the financial support our students and families need, while also continuing to ensure that students graduate in four years compared to the five or six years on average it takes at some flagship public institutions," said Randy Green, Wittenberg's executive director of financial aid and president of the Ohio Association of Student Financial Aid Administrators.
"We want to get our students into our active, engaged learning environment and then out the door in four, so they can begin to make their unique impact on the world," Green said.
Founded in 1845, Wittenberg University is dedicated to intellectual inquiry and wholeness of person within a diverse residential community. Reflecting its Lutheran heritage, Wittenberg challenges students to become responsible global citizens, to discover their callings, and to lead personal, professional and civic lives of creativity, service, compassion and integrity.
Wittenberg offers more than 60 majors, minors and special programs and has been ranked in the top 20 nationally the last two years in five categories: Most Accessible Professors (2013) Best Classroom Experience (2011), Professors Get High Marks (2011, 2010), Campus Beauty (2010) and Involvement in Intramurals (2010) by The Princeton Review. The university also boasts the highest number of Ohio Professor of the Year recipients among four-year institutions in the state and is recognized as one of the nation's top producers of Fulbright Scholars among bachelor's institutions, according to The Chronicle of Higher Education. Seventy percent of Wittenberg graduates pursue post-graduate study within five years of graduation, and all students participate in community service and leadership development.
Wittenberg athletic teams have the most wins in NCAA Division III history in football and men's basketball, including eight national titles. Tiger teams have won 80 conference crowns, making the university a leader in the North Coast Athletic Conference and a national-level competitor. In 2011, the Tiger volleyball team captured the national championship, marking the first such achievement in a women's sport at Wittenberg. Four former Tigers are enshrined in the National College Football Hall of Fame. For more on Wittenberg, visit www.wittenberg.edu.

Forty years ago, men and women congregated in bars in downtown Cairo to drink, laugh, discuss books and enjoy a world in which people of all ethnic and religious backgrounds interacted in peace. It was a world chronicled by the famous Egyptian writer, Naguib Mahfouz, but today only a handful of bars are still around due to the growing religious bigotry that has come to characterize modern Egypt. A former police officer reflects about the Egypt of his younger days. That "Egypt was very liberal, very tolerant. You had the bars, you had the synagogues you had the churches, you had the mosques. everyone was absolutely allowed to practice religion, to go and drink or whatever."
Many critics believe change occurred when millions of Egyptians returned from working in the oil fields of Saudi Arabia and brought back the strict fundamentalism that characterizes the Saudi nation. The growth of suburbs has also robbed downtown Cairo of more liberal minded people who now cluster in cafes on the outer rim of the capital. The question facing Egypt is whether it will turn toward the anti-alcoholism, religious intolerance of fundamentalism or become a member of 21st century life.

WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. -- No. 1 North Carolina improved to 3-0 in conference action and a perfect 14-0 on the year with a 6-2 win over Wake Forest (9-8, 0-3 ACC) Sunday in Winston-Salem, N.C.
In the conference opening series for both teams the Tar Heels jumped out to a 2-0 series advantage with wins on Friday and Saturday before falling behind early on Sunday.
The Demon Deacons struck for a pair of runs in the bottom of the first inning when Jack Carey tallied a two-run single against starter Hobbs Johnson.
Carolina would answer in its next at bat as Cody Stubbs opened the inning with a double the opposite way to left field.
Michael Russell would deliver a single into center field to plate Stubbs from second and cut the deficit to 2-1.
Freshman Skye Bolt would knot things up for the Tar Heels in the top of the fourth when he connected on his third home run of the weekend, a solo shot to left center.
The Tar Heels would knock out Wake Forest starter Justin Van Grouw in the fifth inning as they took advantage of a Demon Deacon miscue to plate the go-ahead run.
Mike Zolk opened the inning with a single up the middle and advanced all the way to third on a sacrifice bunt attempt by Matt Roberts. Wake Forest first baseman Matt Conway fielded the bunt but threw it away putting runners on the corners.
Chaz Frank then delivered a fly ball to right field that was deep enough to score Zolk and put UNC up 3-2.
The Tar Heel bullpen would go to work in the bottom half of the fifth as Chris McCue entered with a pair of runners on base and was able to escape trouble with a fly out and a ground ball double play to keep UNC in front.
McCue would follow with a scoreless sixth before the Tar Heel bats added two more runs in the seventh inning thanks to a RBI double by Colin Moran and a RBI single by Cody Stubbs.
Another scoreless frame from McCue in the seventh preceded a three-pitcher inning for the Tar Heels in the eighth.
McCue opened with a strikeout before allowing a single to Brett Armour. Tate Parrish would come on to face a left-handed batter but walked the man to put two on with just one out.
Sophomore Trevor Kelley would come on and get a line drive double play to Mike Zolk to get out of danger.
The Tar Heels would add another run in the ninth as Brian Holberton walked with the bases loaded before Kelley closed the door on his first career save.
McCue earned the win as he allowed three hits over 3.1 innings of work to improve to 3-0 on the year.
Up next for the Tar Heels is a visit from Gardner-Webb on Tuesday at 6 p.m. before they host High Point at 6 p.m. on Wednesday.

Dunmore, Alberta (Marketwire) November 3, 2010 - Weddingstar, Inc., a leading designer and manufacturer of personalized wedding decorations and accessories, was pleased to receive a visit recently from Jane Dayus-Hinch, British wedding planner and star of the Canadian reality television show "Wedding SOS."
"I found Weddingstar about four years ago at a bridal show and I thought 'Oh! Fabulous products I'll take that back to the UK for one of my brides.' She loved it, and I brought another one in for another wedding, and it's just grown," said Dayus-Hinch. "From that I went back and made the connection with Weddingstar and said 'How about taking this to the UK?'
"As the 'Fairy Godmother' of wedding planning, Jane Dayus-Hinch is the expert at pulling off the perfect wedding, so we were thrilled to hear that she uses our personalized wedding accessories and decorations on a regular basis," said Rick Brink, founder and president of Weddingstar Inc. "Her visit gave us a chance to show her the latest and greatest Weddingstar products and discuss future endeavors together."
Weddingstar not only carries a wide variety of customizable wedding ceremony and reception accessories and decorations, but wedding gifts, wedding favors and wedding cake toppers as well. Their popular line of cake toppers includes traditional, romantic, ethnic, sports-themed and funny wedding cake toppers.
Just like Dayus-Hinch, Weddingstar specializes in "putting the wow in your wedding," but Dayus-Hinch warns brides to remember the main reason for the wedding. In an interview with The Medicine Hat News, she was quoted as saying: "At the end of the day, the key is to remember why you're getting married. If I can tell that it's all about the show, it's all about the party, then I know they're not interested in the marriage. But if they say 'it's just about the two of us, and this is the ceremony we're interested in, and we're thinking of this reading and this piece of music,' then I know that they get it."
For more information on Weddingstar call 800-661-8096 or visit www.Weddingstar.com.

From HaskellWiki
1 Lambdacube Engine
1.1 Overview
Lambdacube is a 3D rendering engine entirely written in Haskell.
The main goal of this project is to provide a modern and feature rich graphical backend for various Haskell projects, and in the long run it is intended to be a practical solution even for serious purposes. The engine uses Ogre3D's mesh and material file format, therefore it should be easy to find or create new content for it. The code sits between the low-level C API (raw OpenGL, DirectX or anything equivalent; the engine core is graphics backend agnostic) and the application, and gives the user a high-level API to work with.
An application building on Lambdacube is composed of the following layers:
|optional components
|generic core
|render system
|native OpenGL
- optional components: e.g. loaders for various formats, physics engine
- generic core: resource handling, script loading, rendering
- render system: a thin abstraction layer

For the second-straight week, sophomore attacker Tori Quinn was recognized as the MAAC Offensive Player of the Week.
Quinn led the Canisius attack to victory in its only game of the week – a 14-9 win over Monmouth. For the third-straight game, the sophomore recorded a career-best six points, posting three goals and three assists. She also matched her personal best with four draw controls in the win.
Eight games into the 2013 season and Quinn is making her mark on the Canisius offense. She entered the week ranked first in the MAAC with 4.25 points per game plus second with 2.75 goals per game and 1.50 assists per game.
Quinn and the Griffs now turn their attention toward defending their MAAC title as the team opens conference play on Saturday. The two-time defending champions, Canisius is looking to become the first team to win three-straight titles when it opens defense of its crown with a home game against league foe Iona. First draw at the Demske Sports Complex is set for 2 p.m.

Before sending it back, would like to know if there is any armorer here that can accept the magazine catch from Glock. Thanks.

Rwanda: Group Denounces Trial and Sentence of Opposition Leader Ingabire
On Tuesday 30 October 2012, Victoire Ingabire, President of the Unified Democratic Forces opposition party (FDU-Inkingi), was sentenced to 8 years imprisonment by the High Court of Kigali for "conspiracy against the country through terrorism and war" and "genocide denial". FIDH denounces the numerous irregularities tainting the fairness of Ingabire's trial.
Detained for over two years now, Victoire Ingabire was prosecuted on six criminal counts linked to acts of terrorism and genocide ideology [1] because of her presumed relations with the Democratic Forces for the Liberation of Rwanda (FDLR), a Hutu rebel group. Known for her criticism of the current government, particularly during the 2010 presidential election, Victoire Ingabire was found guilty of "conspiracy with a view to harming the State, through war and terror" and of "genocide denial". The Public Prosecutor has sought life imprisonment.
Since 16 April 2012, Victoire Ingabire had been boycotting her trial in protest against intimidation and illegal interrogation procedures imposed on some of her co-accused [2], as well as against the Court's decision shorten the hearing of a defence witness accusing Rwandan authorities of fabricating evidence against Ms. Ingabire. "By ignoring these accusations, the High Court of Kigali did not ensure the objectivity and reliability of the elements of proof brought by the Public Prosecutor", regrets Mr. Patrick Baudouin, FIDH Honorary President and Head of its Legal Action Group (GAJ).
Furthermore, the context in which Ms Ingabire's seven-month long trial took place was tense. Members of government did not refrain from making comments suggesting Ms Ingabire's culpability, throughout the duration of her trial. "The ill-timed statements of politicians are detrimental to the good functioning of the judiciary and lead us to raise doubts regarding the absence of political interference within judicial proceedings", said Souhayr Belhassen, FIDH President. "Rwandan authorities must respect the separation of powers and ensure the independence of the judiciary", she added.
Ingabire's lawyer has already stated that he will lodge an appeal against this judgment before the Supreme Court of Rwanda.
FIDH calls upon the Rwandan authorities to comply with its international obligations with regard to the administration of justice.

Why has the UN ignored its own report about the massacres of Hutu refugees in DRC ?
The UN has ignored its own reports, NGOs and media reports about the massacres of hundreds of thousands of Hutu in DRC Congo (estimated to be more than 400,000) by Kagame when he attacked Hutu refugee camps in Eastern DRC in 1996. This barbaric killings and human rights violations were perpetrated by Kagame's RPF with the approval of UK and USA and with sympathetic understanding and knowledge of UNHCR and international NGOs which were operating in the refugees camps. According to the UN, NGO and media reports between 1993 and 2003 women and girls were raped. Men slaughtered. Refugees killed with machetes and sticks. The attacks of refugees also prevented humanitarian organisations to help many other refugees and were forced to die from cholera and other diseases. Other refugees who tried to return to Rwanda where killed on their way by RFI and did not reach their homes. No media, no UNHCR, no NGO were there to witness these massacres. When Kagame plans to kill, he makes sure no NGO and no media are prevent. Kagame always kills at night.

Rwanda: Group Denounces Trial and Sentence of Opposition Leader Ingabire
The principal key root causes that lead to the Rwandan genocide of 1994 that affected all Rwandan ethnic groups were:
1)The majority Hutu community's fear of the return of the discriminatory monarchy system that was practiced by the minority Tutsi community against the enslaved majority Hutu community for about 500 years
2)The Hutu community's fear of Kagame's guerrilla that committed massacres in the North of the country and other parts of the countries including assassinations of Rwandan politicians.
3) The Rwandan people felt abandoned by the international community ( who was believed to support Kagame's guerrilla) and then decided to defend themselves with whatever means they had against the advance of Kagame' guerrilla supported by Ugandan, Tanzanian and Ethiopian armies and other Western powers.
-"The enemies of Freedom do not argue ; they shout and they shoot."
-"The hate of men will pass, and dictators die, and the power they took from the people will return to the people. And so long as men die, liberty will never perish."
-"The price good men pay for indifference to public affairs is to be ruled by evil men."
-"I have loved justice and hated iniquity: therefore I die in exile."
The Rwanda war of 1990-1994 had multiple dimensions.
The Rwanda war of 1990-1994 had multiple dimensions. Among Kagame's rebels who were fighting against the Rwandan government, there were foreigners, mainly Ugandan fighters who were hired to kill and rape innocent Rwandan people in Rwanda and refugees in DRC.

The Rwandan genocide and 6,000,000 Congolese and Hutu refugees killed are the culminating point of a long UK's battle to expand their influence to the African Great Lakes Region. UK supported Kagame's guerrilla war by providing military support and money. The UK refused to intervene in Rwanda during the genocide to allow Kagame to take power by military means that triggered the genocide. Kagame's fighters and their families were on the Ugandan payroll paid by UK budget support.
· 4 Heads of State assassinated in the francophone African Great Lakes Region.
· 2,000,000 people died in Hutu and Tutsi genocides in Rwanda, Burundi and RD.Congo.
· 600,000 Hutu refugees killed in R.D.Congo, Uganda, Central African Republic and Rep of Congo.
· 6,000,000 Congolese dead.
· 8,000,000 internal displaced people in Rwanda, Burundi and DR. Congo.
· 500,000 permanent Rwandan and Burundian Hutu refugees, and Congolese refugees around the world.
· English language expansion to Rwanda to replace the French language.
· 20,000 Kagame's fighters paid salaries from the British Budget Support from 1986 to present.
· £500,000 of British taxpayer's money paid, so far, to Kagame and his cronies through the budget support, SWAPs, Tutsi-dominated parliament, consultancy, British and Tutsi-owned NGOs.
· Kagame has paid back the British aid received to invade Rwanda and to strengthen his political power by joining the East African Community together with Burundi, joining the Commonwealth, imposing the English Language to Rwandans to replace the French language; helping the British to establish businesses and to access to jobs in Rwanda, and to exploit minerals in D.R.Congo.

This blog reports the crimes that remain unpunished and the impunity that has generated a continuous cycle of massacres in many parts of Africa. In many cases, the perpetrators of the crimes seem to have acted in the knowledge that they would not be held to account for their actions.
The need to fight this impunity has become even clearer with the massacres and genocide in many parts of Africa and beyond.
The blog also addresses issues such as Rwanda War Crimes, Rwandan Refugee massacres in Dr Congo, genocide, African leaders' war crimes and crimes against humanity, Africa war criminals, Africa crimes against humanity, Africa Justice.
-General Kagame has been echoing the British advice that Rwanda does not need any loan or aid from Rwandan traditional development partners, meaning that British aid is enough to solve all Rwandan problems.
-The British obsession for the English Language expansion has become a tyranny that has led to genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity, dictatorial regimes, human rights violations, mass killings, destruction of families, communities and cultures, permanent refugees and displaced persons in the African Great Lakes region.
- Rwanda, a country that is run by a corrupt clique of minority-tutsi is governed with institutional discrmination, human rights violations, dictatorship, authoritarianism and autocracy, as everybody would expect.

Made you look Build from all virgin parts , gathered up over about a year . Rec. is a NDS , gun and all parts serialized to match , courtesy of Orion Arms . Used it in a recent pilot spot for Discovery , so maybe you'll get to see it in action

"It does not take a majority to prevail ... but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men." --Samuel Adams
Wow a virgin and a movie star!!! Nice Will!!
Thank's guy's . gotta remember to change out that butttock on that thing , got in a hurry for their "shoot'em up" and stuck a dang E.German one on there .
Sweet! I've always liked the shorty Romanians.
I have a daughter. I tell her, "911 is what you dial after you're raped. 1911 is what you should have before they try."
sad part is , I had in mind to keep it for a "beater" , but now , it just looks so pretty on the wall , nice and shiny new , I haven't took it out since we did that shoot I guess I'll have to whip up somthing else to toss in the back of the truck
I like those shorty's also. Beautiful little rifle!

Thank's Bob , I have it hanging up in my office LOL
Will. When is it going to be on Discovery. That and the Military channel is all I watch.
