The Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) has said that the long-delayed launch of mobile number portability (MNP) will take place on 25 March 2013, writes PM News. The regulators head of Media and Public Relations, Reuben Muoka, reportedly told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) that during the initial phase, only subscribers of the countrys GSM mobile networks will be able to transfer their numbers to another operator. As soon as the GSM takes off, it will not be long before CDMA also begins its operation on MNP, the NCC official was quoted as saying. He added that the introduction of MNP in Nigeria is expected to increase competition in the mobile market, in which South Africa-owned MTN is the largest operator by subscribers by far, with a market share of 42.1% at the end of 2012 (corresponding to 47.44 million customers).
TeleGeographys GlobalComms Database notes that the introduction of MNP was first considered by the NCC in the third quarter of 2007, but the commission has been waiting for the conclusion of SIM registration before it officially launches the service. The NCC announced in October 2011 that it had selected a consortium of three companies Interconnect Clearinghouse Nigeria, Saab Grintek and Telcordia to set up and implement number portability for the first five years, and having already pushed back the expected launch date on various occasions, in December 2012 the regulator said it was set to begin testing the system in order to address any problems ahead of a planned launch in the first quarter of 2013.

Kennebunk Wedding In May
"IF you want to take a little drive and enjoy some history."
Nashua Wedding In July
"Living history museum in Portsmouth recreates everyday life in the Puddle Dock neighborhood from the 1600's to the 1950's."
Lee Wedding In May
"Strawbery Banke is about connecting with the past. Visitors to Strawbery Banke have the opportunity to experience and imagine how people lived and worked in this typical American neighborhood throughout four centuries of history. Through its restored houses, its featured exhibits, its historic landscapes and gardens, and its interpretive programs, Strawbery Banke tells the stories of the many generations who settled in the Portsmouth, NH, community from the late l7th to the mid-20th century. Significantly, this site was rescued from the poorly conceived urban renewal policies of the 1950s by conscientious, far sighted citizens. Always maintaining its grass roots origins, there has been no single benefactor underwriting its existence. Strawbery Banke has relied upon and continues to rely upon the generous support of numerous individuals who believe in the importance of preserving a site that so accurately depicts the history of immigrants transforming themselves into a community of American citizens. Strawbery Banke tells these stories today by preserving an actual community where visitors can connect with the past; serving as a resource for educators, community; and providing a gathering space for the present day Portsmouth community."
Connie and Josh's Wedding

Atalanta is really good, I remember a while back, before she had one, I asked why she didn't have a third skill, and I got the response of, 'She's a monster with the two she has, are you mad?'. She's a great Gold Archer, and the constant crits and stars make damage dealing easy. Crossing Arcadia gives a Party Quick buff (iirc), and she has a Dodge + NP charge skill now.
Fate/Grand Order: Best game ever! When it's not on maintenance!
Atalanta is great. She is a godsend for Quick NP Servants. Much better with her Bond CE.
Archer Sumanai is Nobu.
Lancer Sumanai is either Fionn or Medusa Loli.
I'm more curious when we'll get the next event with a free servant. I assume Valentine won't have one, and it doesn't look likely to get an event before that, so... What comes next?
Though I guess they could fit an event in before that, but the question still stands.
Swift☆chan's SupportsShiki Complete
What if I think Liz is ugly and useless to me? Not that Fionn is much prettier, but he's better for me to look at than Liz.
I'd imagine Saber Wars Episode Two.
Jeanne is... also best girl and Jeanne Alter is EVEN MORE also best girl.
You can make some funny teamcomp with Liz.
Fionn is only good for rare prism.

April 17, 2014
As sophomore Catherine Peters prepares to wrap up her second year in Maize and Blue, she can see a difference in her game compared to the way she played a season ago. Ever consistent and mentally tough, Peters has helped U-M with a trio of top-35 finishes in her second season in Ann Arbor. Her confidence and consistency have led the coaching staff to start her in all nine events so far this season -- one of four Wolverines to earn that honor. With nearly 73 percent of her rounds as a starter contributing towards the team score, Peters is among the most valuable in the lineup. She took a moment from a busy practice and school schedule to speak with MGoBlue.com on her improvements, her mental toughness and balancing school with golf for this In the Spotlight segment.
On her progress from the fall to now in Coach Dowling's first year ... "In the fall, we all were working on various things with Coach Dowling. In particular, I had to change my putting stroke to a more upright stance and more down-the-line instead of coming across, which I was doing. With my putting stroke change, my putting has gotten exponentially better and I'm a lot more comfortable. I approach putting more technically now, rather than just feeling it."
On the aspects of her game that allow her coaches and teammates to feel so confident with her in the lineup ... "I know my mental approach to the game is pretty solid. I tend to not get emotional either way on the course; I can handle bad stress very well and getting a double or triple (bogey) really doesn't affect my entire round. I usually come back from a hole like that. I'm a comeback player, as you can see from my last tournament. I think that's why (Coach Dowling) feels so comfortable with me out there, because she doesn't have to work with me too much on the mental part of the game."
On what makes her so mentally strong ... "It's always been a strong part of my game, mostly because of the work of my father. He was my high school course and we were constantly working on that. He probably thought of that as more important than just being technical."
On the benefits of knowing how to balance academics and school as a sophomore versus as a freshman one year ago ... "It's a lot easier coming in and knowing what to expect, because coming in as a freshman you have no idea and I got my butt kicked that first semester between balancing academics and athletics, so you have to be better at the whole balancing act. Also using resources such as our Academic Adviser, going to the Academic Center, using the tutors and talking to professors more often, and going to meet with them. You have to be on top and more organized; it makes your life a whole lot easier."
On preparation for a tournament during a long break between events ... "When we have longer breaks, we get into a different schedule. Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays tend to be more work on our own time, working with Coach, but not necessarily on technical things, especially now -- you don't want to get too technical. For example, this break I've been working my driver to get more accurate down the fairway because if I can get my ball in the fairway off the tee, I'm going to score very well. When we only have a break for a couple days, we're just trying to maintain or maybe get a little bit better."

Mama was born in the kitchen of my Silverlake apartment, during my 8 year stint in Los Angeles as a film industry freelancer. Between jobs, I had a lot of extra time on my hands and the inability to sit still for long. Part wannabe hippie, part aspiring entrepreneur, I ordered a bunch of natural raw ingredients, turned my kitchen into a workshop, and started experimenting. The minute I made oil and water combine, I was hooked.
I spent many of my early, magical summers with my grandparents, who lived in the country in a small town in Ohio. I raised tadpoles, grew cherry tomatoes, and picked vegetables from Johnny Allen's farm across the road. I read every Nancy Drew book I could get my hands on, and searched high and low to find a mystery to solve in the acres of their vast back yard. I took top down rides, made creatures out of pinecones and swung on the branches of the willow tree out front. I wish I could say that I spent evenings learning how to make face lotions out of oranges and avocados, because that would explain how I got here from there. But that didn't happen. What did happen was that I stretched my imagination to its limits, I developed a love for nature, and I learned to create.
My high school career in musical theater led to college aspirations of being a news reporter. After a brief stint as a modern dance major, I started taking journalism and graphic design classes, peppered with the occasional art class. I graduated with a degree in Telecommunications, moved to Atlanta, and worked as a production coordinator on feature films. Why all the non-sequiturs? Because I guess it explains how I went from producing music videos to making body products.

Sydney: Opening batsman Shaun Marsh will miss Australia's one-day international series in New Zealand because of ongoing back problems, Cricket Australia said on Sunday.
Australia's two-match Twenty20 series against the Black Caps concludes on Sunday in Christchurch with a five-game ODI series starting in Napier on Wednesday.
Marsh, 26, injured his back during the warm-up for the third ODI against the West Indies in Sydney on February 12, reports the Sydney Morning Herald.
His fellow West Australian Mike Hussey took Marsh''s place in the T20 squad.
The injury to Marsh leaves Australia with only 13 players in their squad for the Chappell-Hadlee Series, although T20 specialist opener David Warner is in excellent form and must be a chance to win a recall to the ODI squad.
Warner reached his half-century from 18 balls on his way to 67 runs from 29 deliveries against West Indies in a T20 match in Sydney on February 23.
It was the fastest 50 in a T20 match by an Australian.
The 23-year-old NSW left-hander's T20 scores for Australia this summer have been 24 against Pakistan, 49 and 67 against the Windies and 19 from 10 balls against New Zealand on Friday in Wellington.
Vice-captain Michael Clarke and wicketkeeper Brad Haddin are also candidates to open the batting with Shane Watson in the ODI series.
Members of the ODI squad not participating in the T20 series are due to arrive in Napier on Sunday. They include Test and ODI skipper Ricky Ponting, Doug Bollinger, James Hopes, Clint McKay and Adam Voges.
T20 squad members Dirk Nannes, Steven Smith, Shaun Tait, Travis Birt, Daniel Christian and David Hussey are scheduled to return to Australia after Sunday''s second T20 clash.
Australia's ODI squad: Ricky Ponting (capt), Michael Clarke (v-capt), Doug Bollinger, Brad Haddin, Nathan Hauritz, Ryan Harris, James Hopes, Mike Hussey, Mitchell Johnson, Clint McKay, Adam Voges, Shane Watson, Cameron White.

Moving Mountains
Desperate to modernize West Virginia's economy, Governor Bob Wise is pushing business-labor collaboration.
Two or three times a week, Governor Bob Wise leaves his office in the West Virginia Capitol, walks across the Capitol grounds to the Economic Development Department, sits down at a table and starts making phone calls to corporate CEOs, one after another. Some are the heads of companies within the state, and Wise is checking to see if they have any problems he can help with. But most of the calls are to CEOs in other states and other countries. Wise tells them he has heard they are looking around for a business location and wants them to know what West Virginia can offer them--cheap utilities, lots of water, a stable workforce, and perhaps most important, a newly enacted array of tax breaks. Before he hangs up, he gives them his private e-mail address and private phone number.
All in all, Wise figures, he probably spends a third of his time lobbying to bring in new companies or hold on to the ones already there. That amount of time may not be remarkable for the governor of a poor state, but it seems remarkable for Bob Wise.
This is the same man who entered politics a quarter-century ago as a grassroots activist demanding that the state's coal companies pay higher taxes. It is the same man who led a consumer rebellion against telephone companies and proclaimed that his congressional office was simply "a large community organizing effort." Throughout his career, nobody has doubted Bob Wise's political ability or prowess as a salesman. What they never expected was that he would perfect those skills as a master seducer of CEOs.
Wise hasn't exactly mellowed--he's as intense as ever, and he still evokes populist themes to audiences that want to hear them. He thinks timber and coal companies all but starved the state in the old days. "We gave our profits away," he likes to argue. But Wise is a consensus politician now, and if there's a consensus on anything in West Virginia, it's that the state needs new industry--and needs it in a hurry. "The world has changed," he says. "I've changed. My critics and I understand economic development better than we once did."
The phone calls that Wise makes, the tax incentives he boasts about and the recruitment bonuses he offers are part of what is called "A Vision Shared," a high-profile development program that has become the preoccupation not only of the Wise administration but of every interest group and political faction in the state.
In many of its approaches, Vision Shared isn't much different from what other states do to recruit business. What makes it something new in West Virginia is the "shared" part--Wise's conviction that the state can rise from economic stagnation only with business and labor collaborating in a way that has been unthinkable in the past.
There is more than a little irony in all this. In recent decades, West Virginia basically has had two kinds of governors: pro-business Republicans and wealthy Democrats with strong personal ties to the corporate elite. All were determined to promote economic development; none lifted the state very far. The idea that an anti-corporate agitator from the 1970s might succeed where they failed is intriguing.
And yet it may work. There is a Nixon-going-to-China quality to some of Wise's policies: Building on 20 years of cozy alliance with the state's major Democratic interest groups--unions, teachers and trial lawyers--Wise is betting that he can coax compromises from them that none of his predecessors could have managed. Even some Republicans believe that. "If I tried something like this," says Vic Sprouse, GOP leader in the state Senate, "the unions and the trial lawyers would go to war against it." As things stand now, they are on board.
Of course, that may be because the really contentious issues remain to be settled: namely, the dysfunctional workers' compensation fund and tax laws geared to the steel-and-coal economy of the 1930s. The package of tax incentives and grant money that Wise pushed through the legislature this year was an impressive accomplishment but one that could be achieved without inflicting serious pain on any major economic interest. The hill gets steeper after this.
"We have to do the easy things first," says Steve Roberts, president of the West Virginia Chamber of Commerce and a convert to Wise's agenda. "Perhaps then we can develop the trust to take on the hard ones."
It's indisputable that there are plenty of hard ones to take on. "I inherited grandma's closets with 60 years of problems," Wise likes to say.
While it is well known that West Virginia has spent the past century in recurring economic difficulty, it's not often appreciated by outsiders how much things have worsened in recent years and how strong a feeling of defeatism hangs over the state as a result. The recession of the early 1980s, which was severe throughout industrial America, was much worse in West Virginia; in many ways, it has never recovered. State income per capita is barely 70 percent of the national average.
Most crucially, it has been hit by an ever-accelerating exodus of its young people. During the 1990s, the number of West Virginians age 25- 34 declined by 12 percent, while those over 75 increased by 13 percent, allowing West Virginia to overtake Florida as the oldest state in the country, with a median age of almost 39 years. Studies have repeatedly shown that young adults don't leave immediately after graduation from college--they try living and working in West Virginia for a few years before growing discouraged about job opportunities and moving away.
It's almost impossible to overstate the importance of this trend to ordinary West Virginians. When pollsters ask them what they consider the state's most pressing issue, most of them mention the population drain. Wise plays to this concern as he promotes economic development across the state. His speeches quote a sentence from the Book of Jeremiah: "There is hope in thine end, saith the Lord, that the children shall come again to their own border."
But if Bible quotations were a solution to this problem, it would have been solved a long time ago. The issue in a nutshell is that West Virginia remains deeply mired in the obsolete economy of heavy industries. All the Rust Belt states have had a similar problem, but over the past 20 years, they have made decent progress at moving beyond it, guiding their economies into the technology-driven present. But in West Virginia, nearly 20 percent of the jobs still are related to coal mining, and coal and utilities together pay 60 percent of the business taxes. There is a healthy mineral severance tax, but instead of being targeted for reinvestment in new businesses, the money is split proportionately among all the counties in the state, a de facto revenue-sharing program that is largely useless from an economic development standpoint.
So the task for Wise and Vision Shared is not merely businesses recruitment but the redirection of the state's economy, its reputation and even its perception of itself. "It's not only image, it's self- image," says Kenny Perdue, secretary-treasurer of the state AFL-CIO and a Vision Shared strategist. "To get people to come back, we've got to convince them that there's been a change."
There has been some. Along the 35-mile corridor from Clarksburg to Morgantown, in the northern part of the state, high-tech enterprises are beginning to emerge, based on the science of biometrics and tied to the FBI's Criminal Justice Information Center and Fingerprint Identification Center, both sited in Clarksburg in the 1990s through the influence of U.S. Senator Robert C. Byrd.
"In five years," Wise says hopefully, "West Virginia will be the Silicon Valley of biometrics." David Satterfield, who runs the Economic Development Department, exudes the same confidence. "We have the new coal," he boasts, "and it's identification sciences, biometrics and computer software development."
He may be right, but if so, the new coal is being mined painfully slowly. There are still only an estimated 450 biotech jobs in the state, far too few to describe the Clarksburg-Morgantown corridor as an economic cluster, let alone the birthplace of a genuine boom. The development office has created more than 40,000 jobs in the years since 1993, but the vast majority of them are in telemarketing and other low-paid service categories.
"We've got to do something," says Senator Sprouse, "unless we want to stay 49th in everything. We've got to do things even if they turn out wrong." His Democratic counterpart, Brooks McCabe, says the same thing. "Right now," he insists, "West Virginia is all about re- inventing itself. That's what Vision Shared is trying to do."
To that end, West Virginia is promoting cooperation in ways it has pointedly avoided in the past. A few weeks after Wise defeated incumbent Governor Cecil Underwood in 2000, the two men jointly endorsed Vision Shared, the first draft of which had appeared in the closing months of Underwood's administration. This year, when Wise proposed a ballot measure permitting tax-increment financing for new state projects, it was with the backing of both political parties, the Chamber of Commerce and the AFL-CIO. Four years earlier, when Underwood tried something similar, the unions derailed it. This time, pacified by a "prevailing wage" clause placing a floor under TIF project wages, labor went along, and on Election Day the measure passed by a wide margin.
Amendment One was a modest accomplishment from a policy standpoint, especially given the fact that more than 40 other states have long had similar laws. But it was a tangible symbol that Vision Shared is about as bipartisan as anything in West Virginia ever gets. "We've got a history of confrontation. It's still in the back of our minds," says the AFL-CIO's Perdue. "But there's an attitude change amongst a lot of people. We have people collaborating that have not collaborated-- ever." Dana Waldo, president of the Business Roundtable, echoes that sentiment. "There's too much on the line for us to be fighting," he insists. "When you're looking up from the bottom, you've got to be together."
The coalition held together better than many expected during this year's session of the legislature, in which a long list of archaic tax incentives were repealed and a new series of measures aimed at building a more modern economy were enacted.
The previous generation of tax breaks, policy makers now concede, actually made the economy worse. Among the most notorious was the so- called "Super Tax Credit," instituted in 1985 to reward new business that created more than 50 jobs. It may have been the most complex tax incentive anywhere in America. The computation schedule was 12 pages long, with 16 pages of instructions. "Even CPAs couldn't figure out how to calculate it," says Brian Kastick, the current state Tax Secretary. "That was ridiculous--obviously it was more a hindrance than a help."
But that wasn't the worst part. The law didn't insist on net job creation. A coal or steel company could shut down a plant with 100 workers, open a new one with 50, and claim the money while causing a net loss in employment. In the first four years of Supercredit, coal companies took $35 million in credits while eliminating 1,300 jobs. After a decade, the program had cost the state $180 million. "They really didn't think through what they wanted to do," says Kastick. "The state was desperate. It ended up being abused."
Then there was the Industrial Expansion and Revitalization Credit, a subsidy that dated all the way back to the 1960s. Between 1988 and 1997, it cost the state $207 million. Yet when Kastick's department analyzed its value, it couldn't find any. Companies were permitted to make a single investment in new plant or equipment, and reap a whole sequence of benefits. "There is very little or no correlation," the study concluded, "between the use of the IERC and employment or economic output."
Indeed, that was what Kastick's study concluded about the state's entire network of business tax benefits. "Most of these tax credits are ineffective," it reported, "as tools of economic development."
The most significant achievement of Vision Shared so far has been to wipe out more than a dozen wasteful or useless tax incentives and replace them with ones that make more sense in a 21st-century economy. West Virginia now has strategic research and development tax credits for the design and testing of new product prototypes, from biometrics to polymers; a $25 million venture capital fund to attract new entrepreneurs; and a $10 million "sunny day fund" to help close deals with companies considering a move.
As a result, says Mike Basile, the corporate lawyer who spearheaded much of the lobbying for the package, West Virginia has "one of the most aggressive research and development programs in the nation." On the other hand, Basile is quick to point out, "tax credits are poetry. The other issues are the plumbing."
Most of the state's economic plumbing is in bad shape. The tax incentives may have been repaired, but the tax code itself remains antiquated and inefficient. It essentially assumes that the most important taxable wealth is in fixed capital infrastructure, such as coal mines and steel mills. Companies that have those are taxed at an unrealistically high rate, while service companies with few assets, an ever-growing proportion of the employment base, are taxed very lightly. The tax code for each sector of the economy is riddled with obscure exemptions and penalties. In the words of one corporate official, "we don't even have a tax system. We have bits and pieces." In 1999, the Underwood administration called for a special legislative session to rewrite the tax code, but it was never held.
A thoroughly modernized tax code might be the sort of dramatic accomplishment that could make Vision Shared an undisputed success. As the Business Roundtable's Waldo says, "We've captured the low-hanging fruit. We need one or two big policy hits that show we're serious about change."
Yet to assume that West Virginia can enact major tax reform when almost every other state has failed to do so sounds to some like a dangerous case of overreaching. Moreover, there remains the long-time curse of West Virginia's economic life: workers' compensation.
Workers' comp rates aren't abnormally high in the state. Rather, the problem is that the workers' comp system is $2 billion in debt, largely because of cases stemming from the years when 100,000 West Virginians worked in coal mines. Many of the companies that initially incurred this debt are out of business, but their bills have to be paid by those firms still in existence, even ones with no liability of their own.
A business in West Virginia might spend $35 in workers' comp costs for every $100 in wages it pays out. Comparable obligations in neighboring states can be as much as 75 percent lower. Mike Basile, the governor's Vision Shared strategist, calls ameliorating the workers' comp burden the "true litmus test" of any economic development agenda.
There is no shortage of experts, including some public supporters of Vision Shared, who fear that these fundamental problems will ultimately prove to be more than the current coalition can survive. "My sense is the big things won't be tackled," says Michael Hicks, of Marshall University's Center for Business and Economic Research. Hicks feels it's crucial for the state to have a new tax code, but he doubts there will be one. So does Robin Capeheart, who was Underwood's chief tax adviser. "There are issues on the periphery that you can get diverse interests to agree upon," Capeheart says. "But at some point, protecting interests is going to rise above the level of cooperation."
That pessimism is built on almost all the things that have held back West Virginia in the past--political pettiness, ill-conceived economic reforms, careless stewardship of capital and natural resources. The one real source of optimism is a sense of urgency that even skeptics agree has not been present before.
To many of them, the day of judgment will be the next census. If it shows what the one in 2000 did--an aging population, an exodus of educated talent and a poorly trained workforce--the opportunities for change may evaporate. "If we don't do something now," Waldo warns, "the 2010 census is going to be a disaster."
Bob Wise concurs: "We've got five years to turn the state around." It's enough to transform an old-time populist into a born-again corporate recruiter. And to make him dial the phone a little faster.

Legal Professional: Build Your Business
mail carrier injured 1.5 years ago, i paid for everything (surgery after care) once the OWCP felt i could work they approved my case and when my Dr. stated that i could not work due to chronic nerve (
outlet syndrome) damage and needed further treatment.they would not send my lost wages until i sent a letter to the white house. so 15 mo later finally a 1st payment. the owcp held the next 2 payments @ 90 days each this made it hard to pay for life needs. then they request an IME the DR. i was scheduled for was known un-fair exams. i sent a request for a different DR. for 2 reasons 1. he would not write a fair eval and 2. i had not had any income for 90 days and the CE did not approve transport. so i was set up to fail and i was sanctioned for failure to appear. the OWCP stated to the hearing rep that they did not see my written request for transport until 5 days after sanctions. and refused to reverse it. and the hearing rep sided with the sanction even tho there was record of effort to apear. the IME sent me to a Functional capicity exam that i could not complete due to the nerve damage 2.5 months later still w/o pay i was told i woul not receive pay until i complete the exam (the set up) . well i went to all requested exams and 230 day later still no pay 50 days from the second exam. sent 5 letters requesting the rule that allows further sanctions after compliance twice and no resopnse. well i sent a request to FOIA and got a copy of the IME and the fuctional exam.
now here is the curent issue my case worker only sent slective notes from my medical file to get a letter frome the IME that states i could work w/o restrictions. when the rule states all medical notes on life are to be sent to the IME. the IME DR. never got the nerve damage medical notes and the request for surgery. now that ive found out that im being set up again i sent a complaint to the Dist director and no resopnse. so today i sent a complaint to Hilda Solis.in the mean time my family has no income.
are there any laws aginst what the DOL is doing.
attempting to conceal, withhold or misrepresent
the facts to try n deny benefits further.
thank-you in advance for reading this
Contact your congressional representative with evidence of concealing, withholding and misrepresentation.Set this out clearly with good documentation. Ask that he/she conduct a congressional inquiry.
While all of this is going on, you must to continue to comply with OWCP while you are being paid benefits of any kind.

About Us
Why We Are Here
Tactical Athletic Performance is dedicated to the development of the full spectrum tactical athlete. Often the term has been used by personal trainers and fitness gurus in an attempt to lure in service members and professional shooters to make a grab at the market. Being a tactical athlete is about development of a wide range of skills; you must build tactical skill as well as strength training and endurance building. Here we are working toward building the resources that you can use to increase your survivability and dominance on the battle field. The focus is shooting, moving and closing with the enemy. Tactical Athletic Performance is more than the latest from some internet guy named "iTrain," it is something you should use if you are more of the "iKill" type (Mac user reference).
What is a Tactical Athlete
To develop full spectrum warrior skills you must train daily to peak physical fitness; what that means is building a mastery over your body through strength training, agility skills and mental techniques to enhance performance. Without the tactical skills of weapons handling marksmanship and tactics you may become nothing more than a triathlete who carries a carbine. Currently on the web this is what the mainstream thinks a "tactical athlete" is, fortunately if you found your way here most likely you know there is much more to conflict resolution than flipping tires and lifting kettle bells. If you spend 12 hours a week in the gym how much time should you spend at the range? Obviously training is important to you so let's work together to make you the best.
Who We Are:
My name is A.J. though I generally go by (Abel) online. I built this site originally as a project to help the guys in my Special Forces unit to stay on the same sheet of music with respect to where our training priorities were and how we spend our precious training time. I enjoy every aspect of being a professional soldier (except the paperwork and inventories) on my ODA I act as an assaulter, sniper, medic, primary pistol instructor and primary combatives instructor. Though the site is fairly new the response has been tremendous. Much of the content is from other guys in the field who I know personally or professionally but nothing is posted unless it comes from someone with real world experience. From the beginnings it has evolved a great deal and now acts more as a conduit to get ideas and techniques out to the force. I often make the joke that this site is dedicated to the pursuit of awesomeness because, for us there is nothing better than traveling the world running and gunning, so if the you aren't into the 9-5 thing and you love developing your craft and you don't take crap from anyone (except of course the President, the officers appointed over you and the Constitution of the United States) then Tactical Athletic Performance is for you.

Spray Painted Chandlier
We have this old chandlier that was real shiney brass.
All I ever did to clean it was to use a soft undershirt.
It was in perfect condition and I loved it, but the shiney
brass is out of style...Not that I care what's in and what's out,
but, it was in your face 'bright.' :eek:
So, I bought Rust-olium antique hammered bronze... and said, I hope we've not going to mess this up!
He said, so we'll buy a new one...but, really
that outcome was not what I wanted. I love the style of this one...
So we took it out on the deck, hung it from the Pergola, said a Hail Mary
:) and started spraying...three or four thin coats later, I was happy.
I even painted the cloth shades, a bronze craft paint on the outside and gold on the inside.
The gold paint I bought from Home Depot, I've used
for many things...but that's another story. I'll get the pic's.

WE painted the chaddy and shades about 5 or 6 years ago.
These pics are from May 2012...

Here is the paint...I mixed the craft paint with a few colors to get the correct bronze color for the shades...
the super lite gold leaf paint is from Home depot --and it's the existing color(I didn't mess with it)
TK - Saw you mention this on the other thread. Will no longer overlook the brass fixtures on CL now.
Very nice job. Really turned out well. Looks like one of those bazillion dollar ones you see on what I call the "looking at sites" (because I will never afford one lol.
This is a coach light that we took down every Spring to polish it. What a PITA.
I sprayed it and it looks great, and it's exposed to temperature swings
and humidity...The best thing is no more polishing brass, now all I do is
feather dust it. It's a pleasure.
I also did one lamp in our den. In the LR we have 5 lamps,
Three of them painted -- Two in gold and one in bronze.
It dazzled the eyes and looking nice.
Very nice!
I did the same thing with our bathroom fixtures. Bought them for half price on clearance and totally changed the look with a can of Rustoleum Hammered Finish spray paint. I did a light sanding on mine first, but they were no where near as ornate as yours.
thanks, Alexjoe and Blondsence...
Seems like all us that are into decorating think the same.
As I said, I spray painted my bathroom coach light, and the old brass
towel bar and toilet paper holder too.
That's funny that you bought new stuff and bought it home and spray
painted it...I did the same with a little lamp I bought for our LR...
It was black and I took it home and sprayed it antique bronze.
Also our son gave us a brass log holder...I never used it cause
it didn't go in our FR...last winter I brought it up from the basement
and used the bronze paint on it.
Btw...that gold leaf paint that I bought at Home Depot is fantastic...
I have a big ceramic fish that had orange and green in it -- didn't
really go in our DR even though I had it on the table for five years
cause it was a gift from our son...about a year ago I painted it gold
and copper and it came out really nice.
I'll get a pic of it either later or tomorrow.
We should make this a spray paint thread...
please post your spray painted projects or hand
painted projects too..It would be fun to
see them all.
TwoKnots, You are SO talented...the chandlier looks beautiful. Only you would have thought up painting the shades too! With such beautiful results, I'm going to reconsider painting that range hood.
Exactly what DIYGirl said. The fixture looks amazing...I'm a big fan of spray paint and use it all the time. I once bought a statue from a yard sale that would have been perfect in my brother's house, but it was pink. So I bought it and took it home, spray painted primer on it, then shot it with the stone-type spray paint to make it look like a scupture, and it came out amazingly. I love Rustoleum's hammered finishes, I've used several cans to bring new life into patio furniture.
I would have never thought to paint the shades. I probably would have just went out and bought new ones hoping they'd match. :) Very clever!
ha,ha, :laughing:
These were new...but, they were white, that's why I painted them. :yes:
The outside of the shade is fabric, the inside a hard material.
The gold on the inside reflects daylight beautifully, and the bronze
outside is a lovely soft color.
The outside is now hard as well from the paint.
All I do now is dust them. So far they still look great - six years later.
I'll have to show you a light I painted, right home from purchasing
it from the store...
Come on everyone post your painted treasures on this thread.

Ok, nobody has any painted things to show off besides me???
Here is the painted fish that I painted gold --it sits under the painted chandlier. :)
The fish was a present from our son, from a trip he took.
The face was orange and the body was green.
It didn't go well with our other colors in the room.
So, I painted it with the gold leaf paint from Home Depot
about 0ne year ago. Everything that's gold was painted,
the blue in the center is original.
I never knew you could paint glazed ceramics.
The wood stuff in the fish is all from our garden...branches
from the walking stick tree, Pods from the lotus flowers, etc...
At Christmas time I pull out all the silk flowers and add
silk Pointsettas.
feng shui tip...
Fish is considered good luck in a home! The face should never point
towards a door, or you good luck will travel out the door.

Ok, here's another painted project...I found this lamp at Home Goods
for 10.00 on a discount table... The size was perfect, and the shade
was a lovely shape with a swirly beaded and sequins design on the shade.
There were two things that were fugly though, first the lamp was black,
and second the shade was too short for the lamp.
I took it home and first spray painted it with the antique hammered
bronze paint, then applied some the Home Depot gold paint on a rag
and rubbed it on lightly. Then hot glued my favorite fringe on the bottom
of the shade to both lenghten it and to kick it up a notch.
I love this little lamp...all I have in it is a 15watt chandlier bulb.
I have another little candle lamp that goes back to my childhood, that I painted.
I'll take a pic of that next.

Liverpool will have to wait until later in the week to discover the full extent of Fernando Torres's knee injury after the Spain striker was examined by a specialist.
Torres missed Sunday's 0-0 draw against Fulham to travel to Spain for an assessment of the problem, which has bothered him for several weeks.
The former Atletico Madrid star received treatment in his home country but tests were inconclusive and he will be reassessed later in the week.
"Fernando Torres was examined by a knee specialist this afternoon in Spain," a Liverpool statement read on Monday.
"He received treatment and will continue to do so over the next few days, with the injury being reassessed later this week."

The Groves Antique Market
Digging for treasure at the antique swap is like digging for treasure anywhere else—the first person to break ground gets the good stuff, and that's why the Groves Antique Market gives you a chance to get up before the sun comes up. The difference here is that you get to spend your morning in the Great Park, as opposed to other local swaps that make you root through boxes on the bottom floor of a Great Parking Garage. (Plus the Farmer's Market is next door, if you want to have an even healthier experience.) Swap regulars—if you know which weekend is Pasadena and which is Veteran's Stadium without consulting a calendar, you're a regular—will probably spot a lot of familiar faces both vending and buying. But there are always those wild card tables with say … the $300 blues LP on sale for $3. That right there is why we get there early.

Metal Cutting Portable Bandsaw
:(I have an old Ingersoll Rand (IR) portable metal cutting bandsaw model 8099. I would like to acquire a parts/user/service manual for this saw or better yet a URL web link to such document/manual. I contacted IR concerning this model and they replied that this saw was offered under the Miller Falls Group which IR sold off some 30 years ago, they do not have any documentation, nor can I find anything under the Miller Falls label. I would appreciate any help.
We don't know your location but I would suggest finding a "DeWalt/Milwaulkee/B&D/Porter-Cable/ect." repair center near you. There is one in Norcross, GA. I send certain tools to and they have yet failed to repair these tools.
Patso, That is good advice from Thurman. I had a similar problem recently, not with a tool, but with getting a problem fixed on a 50 year old furnace blower motor. A friend told me of a really old time electric motor repair place 25 miles away in Hollywood.
They did not have a Web Site so I just took my motor in and was amazed that in their Store was a whole world of old time skill, knowledge, and parts. The whole place looked like a 1940 repair shop movie set. They knew all about my problem and fixed it quickly and very reasonably.
Edit: List your location on your profile and you will get more tips on sources near you.
My local So Cal Tool Repair source is
Might find something of use on this site...

CKUT Radio: Sacramento Mobilization - Resistance is Rising
An interview with Luke Anderson author of Genetic Engineering Food & Our Environment about the coming Sacramento mobilization opposing a "Corporate Agriculture Ministerial" being held in Sacramento from June 20-25. The Bush administration, USAID, United States Department of Agriculture, and the State Department will be hosting government ministers from 180 nations and transitional corporate reps to a meeting in Sacramento California, to pave the way for trade agreements like the Free Trade Area of the Americas (FTAA), which means in concrete terms the privatization of water, genetic engineering and factory farming. These meetings in Sacramento, like the WTO mini-ministerial meeting set to take place in Montreal from July 28-30th are key stepping stones for the US, other G8 nations and their corporate backers to push through their agenda in the lead up to the next World Trade Organization meeting in Cancun in September.
Activists involved with various social movements from throughout the world are currently organizing to confront these meetings in the streets of Sacramento, California for a five-day festival of diverse resistance to biotechnology, "free trade" agreements like the FTAA and institutions like the WTO. Currently there are non-violent direct actions, marches, rallies and teach-ins planned for Sacramento.

UTEP's Lang Makes Swift Recovery From Injury
May 3, 2012
After enduring a frustrating finish to the 2011-12 season, UTEP forward Cedrick Lang is feeling good again.
A stress fracture in his foot put a damper on the 6-9, 225-pound South Dakota native's freshman season. For the last 12 games, his practice time was minimal and his playing time was limited.
When the Miners concluded a 15-win season with a loss to Memphis in the Conference USA Tournament quarterfinals, Lang opted for rest over surgery as the lynchpin of the recovery process.
"I just stayed completely off of it for a while," Lang said. "I went home and saw the family. Then, when I got back to El Paso, they just had me lifting [weights] with no running. I would just do stretching and work my way back into it. I started jogging lightly, and eventually I started playing on it.
"Surgery was an option, but I didn't want to do it. The only thing that surgery would have done was completely heal it, but I would have been out for two months doing absolutely nothing."
Surgery or not, Lang is back in full health.
"I've been playing for a couple of weeks now," he said. "I've been playing, working out, doing everything that [everybody else] on the team is doing."
Lang showed his mettle by joining Jacques Streeter as the only Miners to play in all 32 games last season. He averaged 6.3 points and 4.8 rebounds in 22.2 minutes per contest, shooting a team-high 61.1 percent from the field. Lang tied the school record by making all nine of his field goal attempts versus Arkansas-Pine Bluff.
"Sometimes [the foot] hurt really bad, and sometimes I wouldn't even feel it," Lang said. "Usually the adrenaline would kick in so it wouldn't really bother me. Sometimes I would have the other bigs stepping on my foot, and that would really hurt."
For the last third of the season, Lang was unable to practice, and his conditioning suffered.
"It was really tough, considering that I was getting out of shape not running every day," Lang said. "It just came down to doing what I could in the games, trying to hold my own. But it was a bad deal."
Now recovered, Lang is looking forward to an injury-free 2012-13 season. He is already laying the groundwork for an improved sophomore campaign.
"We just had individual meetings with the coaches," Lang he said. "Coach Floyd wants me to develop more of a left hand, and extend my game out to 15 feet where I can hit the jump shot when they're not guarding me.
"I need to work on free throws, obviously [56.1 percent]. My offensive game is very streaky. I need to continue to work on that."
The school year may be winding down, but Lang is just getting started with developing his game.
"I'm going home next week to see the family and chill with my friends," he said. "But I'm going to keep working out. I have a trainer there who I have worked with since my freshman year in high school. But I'll come back for the first semester of summer school.
"I just need to keep on working."

In his weekly message at the beginning of June, Pope Francis urged all Catholics to think twice before wasting food. In his own words, "Throwing away food is like stealing from the table of the poor and hungry" (quote found here). Compared to our grandparents, who lived through the scarcity of the Depression and the World Wars, Pope Francis noted that we are so accustomed to having plenty that we have become used to "wasting food daily and we are unable to see its real value." Like his … [Read more...]
Pray for the Supreme Court this Morning
Friends, the Supreme Court will be announcing its ruling this morning at 10 a.m. on two cases related to the definition and purpose marriage. The first of these cases involves DOMA, the Defense of Marriage Act, which President Clinton signed into law in 1996 after Congress had passed it with overwhelming bipartisan majorities. The second case deals with California's Proposition 8, a 2008 state constitutional amendment in which the citizens of California voted to define marriage as the union … [Read more...]
Hookups and iPhones
Donna Frietas' book, The End of Sex: How Hookup Culture Is Leaving a Generation Unhappy, Sexually Unfulfilled, and Confused About Sexual Intimacy, is getting a lot of attention in the mainstream media. In the book, Ms. Frietas analyzes surveys of 2,500 students from 11 campuses to discover that hookups (defined as "fast, uncaring, unthinking, and perfunctory sex") are perceived as the only romantic option on campuses, even though many of the students interviewed wished it were otherwise. For ex … [Read more...]
Prayers for Boston
On behalf of all of the Builders, I want to say that our fervent prayers and thoughts are with the victims and their families in Boston, MA, in the wake of the horrific marathon bombings yesterday. It is amazing how one person (or perhaps a couple of people) can cause such terror and destruction, all in the blink of an eye, and how life is changed forever for so many. Countless stories of heroism are already being told and in the weeks ahead, as people try to piece their lives back together, … [Read more...]
Pope Francis and Our Call to Service
Like many of you, I have been watching the news with excitement, waiting to see the white smoke and hear the words Habemus Papam!Yesterday was a day of great joy for so many of us. It was a great day to be a Catholic. Perhaps I am becoming a sappy old mother, but I cried the moment I saw Pope Francis and again when he humbly bowed his head in silence and asked for our prayers.By all accounts, Pope Francis seems to be a man of service, a man of action, and I love that. Our Church is a c … [Read more...]
Farewell, Pope Benedict!
In the summer of 2002, I had the amazing opportunity to meet and have a shared conversation with Pope Benedict XVI, then Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, in Rome. I was on a summer fellowship with a group of college students from across the United States, and we finished our time in Europe by making a whirlwind 3-day trip to Italy. Cardinal Ratzinger was gracious enough to grant us 20 minutes of his time, answering our questions and engaging us in a conversation about how we, as young people, could be … [Read more...]

Saying No to Fear
MaryAlice's post inspired me to write a response. And let me start by saying that I really respect her honesty. I, too, have struggled greatly after Newtown. It has caused me to think, and to rethink, about many things. The toy guns in my house have been in my thoughts, but, more importantly, the reality of my own fear has been very unsettling.My serious battle with fear began over 10 years ago. The death of my daughter Therese really changed me as a person. After she died, I saw danger … [Read more...]
Talking about Sandy Hook
So what happened on Friday in Newton Connecticut is really, really heartbreaking. I tried my typical approach of turning off all news to shield my heart from too much sorrow. Unfortunately, everywhere I turn people are talking about Newton and the tragedy that happened there. I stopped looking at Facebook because I thought I might have an anxiety attack on Friday evening. But then I heard about the massacre at the local food store, from a friend, and again when I went to Church this mor … [Read more...]

Actor Tom Hardy blasted a hapless reporter at The Dark Knight Rises premiere in Leicester Square for asking 'pants' questions.
A video shows the 34-year-old actor listening to the beginning of a journalist's question before quickly interrupting him.
In a classic suit and trench coat with slicked-back gelled hair, Hardy looks confused and says: "What are you on about, man? Your questions are pants man."
The reporter carries on asking various questions before Hardy says: "Thank you for your questions, they're awesome. You need to work on those buddy."
Another reporter introduces herself while Hardy shakes his head and says to her: "Bad questions man. His questions suck, I apologise."
Hardy plays blockbuster villain Bane, the leader of a terrorist group intent on destroying Gotham City.
Co-stars Christian Bale, Michael Caine, Gary Oldman, Anne Hathaway, Marion Cotillard, Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Morgan Freeman also attended the premiere.
The Dark Knight Rises will open in the UK tomorrow.

One of my favorite bloggers is Fred Wilson. I don't have tons of time to read blogs these days but I still try to make my way to A VC once or twice a week. Some time ago Fred started a series called MBA Mondays. There are about 100 articles in the series now.
As a guy with an MBA and a bit of startup experience I found much of the early content not very interesting (though I suspect it is highly interesting to someone with no formal business education). More recently Fred has been writing about the management team during various stages of startup growth. The last post was on management while building the business. There is a great quote in there:
"The people side of the business is harder and way more complicated than building a product is."
It is. People are messy. But not many entrepreneurs think about this. Perhaps because few get to the growth stage. At Half Off Depot I am right in it. After revenue it is the most important thing I do every day.
After he wrapped up his last post in the subject Fred did something that was brilliant. He had a series of guest posts on management. They are really good, with nuggets of wisdom throughout. Below is a favorite thought from each guest blogger. Something that I personally believe. Anyone that aspires to lead or be a part of a successful startup should take the time to read these guest posts. Because after you build the product and initial user base it really is all about management.
Jerry Colonna
"Surrendering to the demons that torment your organization does not mean abdicating your responsibilities to manage. You are still responsible for dealing with the reality of what is. In some cases, the demon is the wrong vision for the company. In others, it might be that you've hired the wrong people. In still others, it might be your own failings—like an inability to admit that you're wrong."
Joel Spolsky
"Stop thinking of the management team at the top of the organization. Start thinking of the software developers, the designers, the product managers, and the front line sales people as the top of the organization."
Phil Sugar
"I go on as many sales calls and customer visits as I can. I've been told that once I hire a Head of Sales, I should stay out of the process. I totally disagree. I am not going to be the one managing the process, but I want to hear what the market is saying directly."
"Bad news — your generation did not invent sex. It does not have to invent the crafting of companies either. Someone else has also done this before."
Matt Blumberg
"Management teams never scale intact as you grow the business. Someone always breaks."

The folk tales collected by the brothers Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm were first published in 1812-15, and in many more editions up to the deaths of the brothers around 1860. While no one knows where the tales first came from; features of many are found in myths from all over the world. They were passed on for centuries in the oral tradition, until at last collectors began recording them in print for the world of today, where we still respond to them.This volume contains a small but representative selection from the Grimms' Children's and Household Tales, the most famous and influential of all the great nineteenth-century folklore collections.

Public health emergency
Boston Mayor Thomas M. Menino declared a public health emergency Jan. 9, 2013 because of an increasingly severe flu season. The effects of the epidemic are also being felt here at Massachusetts General Hospital with impressive intensity.
Flu prompts public health emergency; Mass General taking steps to control outbreak
As of and including January 13, Mass General has identified 618 cases of the flu during this flu season from testing and has admitted 196 people. The 2011-2012 season identified 79 cases, the 2010-2011 season identified 436 cases, and the 2009-2010 season identified 492 cases. The number of flu admissions in 2011-2012 was 29; 2010-2011 had 162; and 2009-2010 had 103.
"Since it tentatively looks like last week may have been the peak, we would project about 1,000 total Mass General cases for the full season," saysDavid Hooper, MD, chief, Infection Control Unit. "That is about the same as 2004-2005 but lower than 2007-2008."
Mass General is taking steps to control the outbreak:
*The department of Obstetrics and Gynecology plans to limit visitors to the OB Maternity and Labor & Delivery areas.
*Signage continues to be posted widely throughout the hospital that discourages all visitors from visiting if they have a cough or fever. If they do visit, they are asked to wear a mask and perform hand hygiene.
*An estimated 85% of Mass General employees have received the flu vaccine to date. Staff members who have not been vaccinated must wear a mask when providing care to any patient to protect the patient from a healthcare worker in case they are incubating flu.
*All staff (vaccinated or not) should be wearing a mask when caring for patients with flu or suspect flu.
The flu vaccine is still available at Mass General. It is not too late to receive the vaccine for it to be effective. "Vaccines are not 100% effective but they do provide benefit in the majority of people who receive them," says Hooper. "Even if the flu vaccine does not fully prevent getting the flu, there are good data to suggest it makes the disease milder."
If you have a serious medical condition or are pregnant and suspect you're coming down with the flu, contact your medical provider as soon as possible. An otherwise healthy person should drink plenty of fluids, stay home from work, and monitor temperature. Call your doctor if you're not feeling better in a few days.

I have learned how to appreciate the beauty, quality and perfection of these exquisites luxury products through my work experience in Parisian Maisons de Couture and a real passion for fashion.
I buy all these luxury items from individuals, mostly friends who work in fashion and are lucky to shop in sample sales, thus the relatively low prices.
I select the items for their quality, authenticity, for the cut and originality of their design and for their everlasting caracteristic.

1970 bmw 2000
Hi guys thought I would try this thread for advice or be pointed in the right direction.
Recently my young mechanic suggested I fit discs to the rear of my classic BMW Ok all good except after a few brake applications pressure seems to build up and the pedal becomes fairly hard it seems the calipers (must be the rear as front fitted standard) are not returning the brake fluid and brakes not jamming but certainly on a little. It makes me think of the old days where a blocked compensating port gave you a hard pedal.
Would appreciate any thoughts or directions.
Just a quick thought:
On a Mercedes in the mid 60ies, they also had the front disk, rear drum arrangement.
HOWEVER: Calipers and brake drum wheel cylinders I believe work on different tensions/pressure, and different release current (??).
There is a valve that regulates the rear pressure in the system, located (on the Mercedes's) under the rear center of the car before the lines splice to right or left.
I would bet something similar is built into the BMW system and this young Mechanic of yours, may have not have removed this, therefore the ...........
Just a wild guess.
It would be nice to hear back , right here, if that or any other cause was found and the issue was resolved !!

SendmailAnalyzer is a log analyzer for the Sendmail mail transfer agent (MTA). It can process maillog files nightly or in real time, and generates dynamic statistical reports in HTML with graphic output that let you know at any moment what is going on on your mail servers. It can show hour, day, month, and year views for historical reports, and provides cross-linked navigation to detailed views. In short, it tells you what you need to know for better performance analysis, troubleshooting, and resource management.
The software is easy to install on any *nix server that supports Perl, CGI, and libgd, and highly configurable to match the dozens of possible Sendmail configurations.
SendmailAnalyzer is small and fast, and useful on everything from small enterprise MTAs to those at ISPs that handle millions of email messages per day. It can work on a single MTA server or on a central syslog-dedicated server. It can produce reports for all the major milters (Sendmail filters), such as SpamAssassin, MailScanner, ClamAV, Amavis, RBL Check, and J-ChkMail. In addition to admin-oriented information, it can present IT and customer information such as message direction distribution and per domain reports.
Gilles Darold, the developer behind SysUsage, which we profiled last week, created SendmailAnalyzer seven years ago to help manage the four Sendmail servers at his company, which handle as many as three million email messages per month, and run spam and virus filters. "As a busy sysadmin I only had time to do some grep commands on maillog for troubleshooting, so I looked for a tool to create cumulative and historical reports on email traffic and highlight Sendmail errors. I never found anything very useful, so I built exactly what I wanted."
Like SysUsage, SendmailAnalyzer is written in Perl, with libgd producing PNG graphics. SendmailAnalyzer doesn't use a database, just flat files, so there's no elaborate software to install.
Darold welcomes user input via the project's home page. "If you find something is missing, just drop me an email and I will include it." Users who want to help develop the software are invited to add support for more milters and filters.
