About Me
I have always had a bmx bike since I was able to walk. I never got a new bike for christmas it was always a hand me down from other family members. The best bike I have ever had was a 1979 diamondback. The forks had dual dropouts, candy metallic red frame with gold wheels. I miss that bike. I still have my pk ripper that my uncle gave me 1979 or 80. I ride vintage dirtbikes, bultaco, yamaha, and bsa, and I race vintage drag bikes, early triumphs. I also like to build cars, hudsons, early fords and 60's custom one off cars. I also love to restore vintage bmx bikes. I like to bring em back from the dead. Oh yeah!!! and 70's bmx is where it's at.
MX all the way!!!!!!!!!

AFX FX-39DS Multi Dual Sport Helmet. Item Code: AFXFX39DSMulti Brand: AFX Helmets Model:FX-39DS Color: Pearl White,Black,Red,Blue,Silver Certifications: DOT, ECE-22.05 Shell: Aerodynamic shell design is constructed of lightweight composite poly-alloy AFX Helmet Features: - Hypo-allergenic and antimicrobial nylon liner and cheek pads, all of which are removable and washable - Optically correct, compound-curved, scratch-resistant and protects against UV-rays - Flip-up, flush fit, quick-release shield can be used with or without the visor (includes side cover kit for shield-only use) - Shield can be removed for open-face riding or goggle use - Ample ear cavity space for speakers - Advanced ventilation system with chin, side, rear and forehead vents - A clear coat finish to protect pant and graphics AFX Helmet Size Chart: HOW TO DETERMINE YOUR CORRECT AFX HELMET SIZE. 1. MEASURE YOUR HEAD.Determine the circumference of the widest part of your head by using a flexible tape measure. Generally, the widest part of a person's head is the area 2.5 cm (1") above the eyes and ears. However, we suggest measuring at a few points both above and below that line to determine the greatest measurement before referring to our size tables. We also suggest testing the fit of a helmet one size smaller and one size larger then what the chart recommends. No helmet can provide protection if it's too uncomfortable to wear. If you would like further detailed instructions on how to determine your correct size please look at our AFX Helmet Fitting Guide.
Size Chart
Comment: The fit was consistent with the size chart, the finish and interior are excellent. Overall function and appearance are of a much higher priced helmet. I am very impressed and happy with this helmet
Albert C.

Comment: Great helmet but check your sizing. AFX seems to run just a tad large. Otherwise this a good value for the money
Comment: Hello, I'm very happy with the product arrived perfect, thank you very much.

Slideshow: CES 2011: Aliens, Prime Rib And A Digital Experience
I was greeted by an alien at the Digital Experience event here in Las Vegas. And things only got better from there. This event, not aligned with CES but nestled nearby in Caesar's Palace, is for journalists. And the organizers spared no expense on the eats and fancy multicolored martinis. As way too many reporters and bloggers imho wasted their time guzzling vodka and pounding prime rib, my team and I checked out some impressive gear and software. The video for these products will be on YouTube's Techweb channel and site, but check out this slideshow for a quick lowdown on what my little team (video guy Matt Conner and photographer Nevin Berger and me) thought was intriguing, important or just plain cool to look at.

1337 (leet) for pornography. usually the o is replaced by the digit 0, ie: pr0n. hey, that's some kickass pr0n.
Jan 18, 2003
add a video
1. | pron | ||
Its actually pr0n, and its spelled this way so that it doesn't show up when someone searches the word "porn".
It was introduced as a masking tool to prevent people from logging your involvement in less than reputable activities. Much like the original intent behind 1337 speak itself. Similar words for divisions of pr0n that are still in use include: R@ygold - (pedophylia) qwerty - (bestiality) showme - (voyuer) rorikon/lolikon - (anime child) momashi - (incest) BBW - (Big Breasted Women) etc... Including pr0n in Word_Perfect_help_file_00trpr0n14.pdf makes it hard to realize that the file is actually Tiffany_Shocker.avi renamed; except to the person who masked it of course.
3. | pron | ||
l337 for porn. Pron is cheaper than dating!
4. | pron | ||
n : film or literature designed to stimulate sexual desire syn: pornography, porno
n.Pornography. adj.Pornographic. "pron" or "pr0n" is An accidental or deliberate misspelling of the word 'porn'. Due to the common misspelling of the word, it has been accepted and encouraged amongst the online gaming community. It was also used to get around keyword filtering such as in AOL's parental control. This allowed all the children of the world to have access to all the porn (or pr0n) that is nessessary for a healthy childhood. "dude, I found some wicked newfangled pr0n on the interweb"
5. | Pron | ||
The second most searched for word on the internet Dude, you just spelt porn wrong!
It's OK, the computer knows what pron is! |
6. | pron | ||
You know when you want to masturbate when you look up porn, you type it in fast and you misspell porn, insted getting pron. Jack: What are you doing?
Bob: Looking up porn. Jack: No, your looking up pron. |
7. | Pron | ||
A l33tspeak codeword for Porn, originally used to avoid keyword filters that might expose hidden FTPs or websites. the pr0n can be found at microsoft.com/cgi-bin/laden/i/j/pr0n/

Being the glamour girl that I am it is hard for me to admit that at 36 years old I have the appetite of a 17 year old boy and a constant case of premenstrual chocolate cravings! But alas it is true! But what is a glamour girl to do?
Today I had to go grocery shopping (which I always seem to put off until there are only condiments in my fridge). I started my shopping trip with the best intentions. I loaded up my cart with all the fruit and veggies I needed to keep my girlish figure. I was determined to only make healthy choices.
I must have made a wrong turn somewhere because before I knew it I found myself in the bakery department! OMG! How did this happen? I came face to face with so many wonderful treats. Chocolate Babka, cream puffs, cannolis. They all looked so good! Then suddenly I found myself magnetically drawn to the most super rich fudgiest brownies I had ever seen! YUM! I had to have them. I didn't even care. I picked them up. Then I put them down. I picked them up. Then I put them down again.
Oh no!!! The struggle! The struggle!
I have been trying really hard to work out lately. And I didn't want to ruin it all because of stupid chocolate! I put them down. (Yes I had picked them back up) And I walked away.
But that darn chocolate craving wouldn't quit. I was about to turn around and go get them when I remembered a conversation I had with my gorgeous and super smart cousin Jackie. She was raving about a brownie recipe that was low fat, healthy and packed with protein. I called her immediately. "Jackie please help me!!! For the love of God!!!"
She told me to buy a box of dark chocolate brownie mix and a can of black beans.
Huh? I started to rethink the "super smart cousin" thing but she assured me they were delicious. They are not only nutritious and packed with protein they would totally get rid of that chocolate craving. Boy did I hope she was right. I did what she told me to do and she was right!! She really is super smart!!
- Get 1 box of dark chocolate brownie mix and 1 can of black beans.
- Drain and rinse the beans thoroughly in a colander then return them to the empty can and refill with water.
- Pour the beans and water from the can into a blender and mix well.
- Add the black beans to the brownie mix and stir until it's combined completely. Pour mixture into a greased pan. (I use Pam) and follow the cooking time and temperature instructions on the box
Just as Jackie promised. They turned out delicious. Seriously so good. They are only slightly different from the regular brownies we are all used to but I actually prefer these Protein Packed Brownies instead! They aren't as sickeningly sweet and you don't feel nauseous after. And at about 100 calories each they really do stop that chocolate craving! I really hope you enjoy these Protein Packed Brownies as much as I do. Thanks Jackie!

The Annual Fund allows the school to keep tuition increases to a minimum and gives our children those educational extras that enrich each student's experience at Bosque. Every gift makes a difference for the kids in the Bosque community, and boosts our community participation rate, making us more attractive to foundations as we seek grant money.
As we launch Campaign 14 - begin, believe, become to build a new state of the art Science building and Fieldhouse, together we will watch our small school grow and thrive through your generosity. I am profoundly grateful to the many donors who, through their capital campaign gifts, are making our vision for Bosque School's campus master plan completion and growth of the endowment possible.
We are proud to have such wonderful, dedicated families and friends helping us to fulfill the mission of Bosque School. Thank you all for everything you do. Mitch Coven, p'11, p'13 p'19Bosque School Board of Trustees, Development Chair

World Metrology Day –
May 20, 2013
May 20 is annually observed around the world as World Metrology Day and commemorates the anniversary of the signing of the Metre Convention in 1875. This treaty provides the basis for a coherent measurement system worldwide. Most of us don't recognize the importance that metrology plays in our lives. First of all, it has nothing to do with the weather. Metrology is the science of measurement and most of us rely on measurement devices every day. We make decisions based on measurement results, such as pushing the brake pedal when the speed is over the limit or cutting down on sweet food if our blood sugar level is too high. The price of much of what we buy is calculated from measurements - electricity, water, food, fuel, to name but a few. The Purdue College of Technology in Columbus has a well-equipped metrology lab that serves as a resource for students and local industry in our region and state. Read more.

One safe bet at Cincinnati casino? Some will cheat
CINCINNATI (AP) — One of the safest bets at a new casino set to open in Cincinnati this spring is that cheaters will be among the gamblers, targeting dealers who have only dealt cards in a training room.
But there also will be hundreds of surveillance cameras, pit bosses with years of experience at other casinos, and about a dozen agents with the Ohio Casino Control Commission — all working to spot and stop people from cheating the house, and indirectly, the state.
Horseshoe Casino Cincinnati, a gleaming, $400 million property right off busy Interstate 71 in the city's downtown, will be the last of four voter-approved casinos to open in the state all in less than 12 months. Casinos in Cleveland, Toledo and Columbus opened starting in May.
Since then, the state has charged more than 60 people with cheating, or about 10 each month since the first casino opened in Cleveland, said Karen Huey, the commission's director of enforcement.
"I was struck by the level of cheating that came in," Huey said. "It was so immediate. People came in and from the first few days were trying to steal and cheat."
Ten people were charged this past week with cheating at the Columbus casino, which opened in October. Authorities allege that each one, acting separately and on their own, cheated the casino mostly by either adding or removing chips from their bets after they knew whether they'd won, known as capping and skimming. They all face up to a year in prison and a $2,500 fine.
Though the cheaters surely will come once Cincinnati's casino opens, management is doing all it can to teach future dealers how to spot them.
This past week, dozens of potential dealers gathered in a room cordoned off from construction at the casino to learn the right way to shuffle, get in the habit of clapping their hands and turning their palms up every time they leave the table and eyeing each person's bet before dealing the cards — all in an effort to root out stealing among players and the dealers themselves.
"There are some people who are very good at cheating," said Steven Mitchell, the lead supervisor training blackjack dealers and a future pit boss at the casino. "And if you're doing all the procedures right, those people tend to not come to your table. If you have someone getting lax on the procedures, you're giving them that opportunity and they will take advantage."
Among the most difficult thing to teach dealers, Mitchell said, is how to properly shuffle, which includes keeping two sets of cards mostly flat on the table, barely lifting a corner of each stack away from the players and pushing them tightly together. Continued...
At one table at dealer training, 60-year-old Sophia Hargrave of Cincinnati struggled with the lesson, either losing her grip on the cards, bending them too much or exposing them to them to the wrong side of the table.
Her trainer, Charles Zascavage, told her to keep her patience and keep working at it.
"This usually gets everybody," Zascavage said before explaining why getting it right is so important.
Doing it the wrong way "exposes too many cards to players," he said. "There are people that dedicate themselves to reading those cards and figuring out where they're at. It becomes part of their betting strategy."
In all, the casino will hire 750 dealers, none of whom can have even a single charge of theft in their background, even if it's a misdemeanor, or any felonies whatsoever. Those who have large debts they aren't paying off also will be out.
Of the 4,040 people who had sought dealer licenses with the state through the middle of November, 79 were denied or disqualified for various reasons, according to the commission. That amounts to about 2 percent.
No matter how stringent the requirements, stealing from casinos among dealers will happen, said Jim Edwards, a former senior agent at the Nevada State Gaming Control Board who now trains agents across the country, including in Ohio, to catch cheaters.
In Nevada, Edwards said more than 40 percent of people arrested for cheating are dealers.
In one infamous case, a high-stakes dealer at a Lake Tahoe casino pleaded guilty in 2004 to grand theft for using her position to steal $500 chips from Harrah's Stateline casino over a four-year period. Authorities said she was able to steal more than $800,000 before getting caught.
Since Ohio's casinos opened, one dealer has been charged with stealing. Ryan Straker, 27, has been charged with aggravated theft and having criminal tools after authorities say he was slipping chips into a wristband while dealing at the Cleveland casino. Continued...
The September indictment against Straker says he stole between $1,000 and $7,500 over an unknown period of time.
Straker did not respond to a message for comment, and court records show he does not have an attorney.
Edwards said dealers don't necessarily set out to steal, but that they have so many opportunities that some find it impossible to resist.
"People working in a casino are no more honest or dishonest than someone working at a supermarket or a department store or any other kind of business," he said. "A lot of times this is someone who just fell victim to a lapse in judgment and a hint of greed."
In 2009, Ohio voters approved putting casinos in the state's four largest cities to allow the state to collect 33 percent in gross revenue taxes, money that goes to the state's counties, school districts, the four casino cities, the casino commission and programs for problem gamblers.
"When you're stealing from a casino, you're stealing from the state of Ohio," Huey said. "We take it very seriously. We want people to know we're they're and we're watching, and they should come and play and have fun, but don't come and cheat."

"…as long as the slightest throb stirs my heart, it will beat for love of you…."
The title of this post are the first lines of a love letter.
With the hand and heart of a poet, twenty-one year old Bartolomé Marquez writes these words of true love to his girlfriend, Maruja. You can almost hear him whispering each romantic stanza into the ear of his beloved Maruja as she rests in his arms, her head reclining close to his heart.
Yet, his beating heart will soon end and—in a natural way—so will the romance. For, young Bartolomé writes this love letter from a Spanish prison where a bullet will silence the heart which throbs for love of God and his girlfriend.
Spain, an ancient Daughter of the Church, in a dark period of history, turned against her Mother. In 1936, Bartolomé was imprisoned for the crime of being a Catholic faithful to Holy Mother Church. He was a catechist and an officer in Catholic Action.
On the day of his execution, he walked barefoot out of his cell in an imitation of Christ walking to Calvary. He kissed his handcuffs and spoke his final words on earth, "¡Viva Cristo Rey!", "Long live Christ the King!" Pope Benedict XVI, on October 28th, beatified Bartolomé Marquez and 497 other martyrs who shed their blood in witness to the Gospel.
The relationship between Blessed Bartolomé and Maruja demonstrates the beauty and passion of a Catholic romance. I have always believed, and Chesteron will undoubtedly agree with me, that Catholics are the most romantic people in the world because we know most intimately not just the feeling of love but the Person of Love: Deus Caritas Est! Christ, the Source of Love, teaches us how to love because He has loved us first. With the bullet which ultimately sent Bl. Bartolomé to the arms of Christ the King, his romance with Maruja ceased its earthly expression, bound by natural limitations, and was transformed into a supernatural romance.
Note how Bl. Bartolomé expresses his love for his girlfriend. Like some of you, I grew up in a time (the 80s) when handwritten letters were still a common means of communication among friends and family members. And for quite a while now, I have been of the opinion that in our communication, we have traded efficiency for substance, elegant prose for sound bytes. "though" is "tho", "you" is "u"…and the list of "lol"s, "idk"s, and "brb"s is seemingly endless…and "love", perhaps the most power word ever spoken or written has become "<3" (or whatever the current shorthand form is).
Speaking of love—in all its blessed forms: eros, amor, caritas, philia, or agape—we've even managed to treat this highest of human experiences as a prepackaged commercial quality, a mere feeling, rather than as precious gift and sacred action.
Bl. Bartolomé knew both of love and how to communicate it well in words. In his final love letter to his girlfriend, the Blessed speaks more than just cute words of affection. He proclaims truth. Particularly, Bl. Bartolome talks about ennobling. Be it his love for Maruja or even his body, through martyrdom, he is being ennobled, that is, transformed into something higher, something noble, something more resembling God. Thus, after reading his letter of courageous fidelity, one is left with a profound sense of hope and a renewed determination to defend our Mother, the Bride of Christ.
Yet…there's something about that last sentence…his final farewell…
…it's heartbreaking.
Provincial prison of Jaen, Oct. 1, 1936
My dearest Maruja:
Your memory will remain with me to the grave and, as long as the slightest throb stirs my heart, it will beat for love of you. God has deemed fit to sublimate these worldly affections, ennobling them when we love each other in him. Though in my final days, God is my light and what I long for, this does not mean that the recollection of the one dearest to me will not accompany me until the hour of my death.
I am assisted by many priests who — what a sweet comfort — pour out the treasures of grace into my soul, strengthening it. I look death in the eye and, believe my words, it does not daunt me or make me afraid.
My sentence before the court of mankind will be my soundest defense before God's court; in their effort to revile me, they have ennobled me; in trying to sentence me, they have absolved me, and by attempting to lose me, they have saved me. Do you see what I mean? Why, of course! Because in killing me, they grant me true life and in condemning me for always upholding the highest ideals of religion, country and family, they swing open before me the doors of heaven.
My body will be buried in a grave in this cemetery of Jaen; while I am left with only a few hours before that definitive repose, allow me to ask but one thing of you: that in memory of the love we shared, which at this moment is enhanced, that you would take on as your primary objective the salvation of your soul. In that way, we will procure our reuniting in heaven for all eternity, where nothing will separate us.
Goodbye, until that moment, then, dearest Maruja! Do not forget that I am looking at you from heaven, and try to be a model Christian woman, since, in the end, worldly goods and delights are of no avail if we do not manage to save our souls.
My thoughts of gratitude to all your family and, for you, all my love, sublimated in the hours of death. Do not forget me, my Maruja, and let my memory always remind you there is a better life, and that attaining it should constitute our highest aspiration.
Be strong and make a new life; you are young and kind, and you will have God's help, which I will implore upon you from his kingdom. Goodbye, until eternity, then, when we shall continue to love each other for life everlasting.
Bl. Bartolomé Blanco Marquez of Pozoblanco, pray for us!

I mean't homosexuals - since the topic was about two 'types'. 'These' and 'those'. See?
<<I do love this PC/un-PC stuff. You get to be offensive and just say "I'm just not being PC" and get away with it.>>
Yes- I think it's best to be un-PC but not offensive ( that's just going to the other extreme). What becomes 'offensive' is a gauge that may be different between people. Obviously to yourself simply questioning things about the topic is offensive. Unless it agrees with just one side of the argument. Handy.
<<Strange, I've never had a problem with people, which is quite considerate of them, cos it's still * difficult to come to terms with. I guess it must just be some sort of elaborate act that everyone has and they're really disgusted by my obvious perversion.>>
When you come out to people I would suspect those closest to you take time out to think it over and come to terms with it. Thereafter they will politely accept your situation and not make crass comments etc. They may even change views and even deep seated prejudices. Ordinarily, though - if you listen to a conversation between fellas in a pub - just the average group and it's probably too offensive to this board.
< You're living in a bubble if you think the average person on the street doesn't care about equality.>
Equality covers tons of subjects. It's not the preserve of the gays. Although if you look at the previous government you'd think it was. And then there's 'rights'. Lets not get into that one!!
<<…readiest the JLS condoms and see which one is the best…>>
Over my head.
<<Perhaps it's time to close Part 8 & open up Part 9 seeing as this one has become a bit buggered over the last few pages>>
Clever. And 'cheeky'. See how I carried on the tradition there?

Although - be fair - I was responding to a post within this thread. But you're probably right - it should be on another thread by now (did not realise it would tickle so many "There should be a law against free thought" sorts and get so much of a reaction).
<<I took it from his last post that he already has read them. And to be fair, most posts were from people who were sticking up for him, with only a couple of idiots making themselves look stupid with their ridiculous comments. I'm sure Aled has a thick skin, anyone working with Chris would need to have that! As has been suggested a few posts above, perhaps it's time to close this particular thread and start 'Ask Aled (Part Nine)'.>>
Apart from the initial innuendo in your paragraph (sorry!) "Idiots", "Stupid, and "ridiculous" certainly puts across some great valid adult points!
And - yes - I think Aled probably does have thick skin - I suspect there may be quite a few nasty anti-gay messages that go his way. From the same numbskull types who think you cannot have an opinion which questions that way of life. However - when you're in the spotlight of national recognition via the media you probably need thick skin. Very thick skin. I suspect Chris has the same thick skin. Especially when he's had the limp shouty sort demo-ing against him regarding him as a bigot (the irony!) and a homophobe. I suspect its an attribute you must have when you world on TV/radio.
I have considered getting involved in this discussion several times but you are so bogged down in stereotypes it's unreal and hardly worth the time. A couple of points though - First of all, I imagine you don't actually know any gay folk, if you do then I reckon you keep them at arms length (just in case). Yesno?
Secondly - these "fellas in the pub" you keep referring to - they may well be the crowd of folk you hang about with. That doesn't mean they represent the average guy though. I have spent lots of time in many pubs, talking with plenty of "fellas" and this backwards opinion on this topic has never been mentioned. If I was you, I would re-consider who I associated with - they are planting some odd ideas in your head.
Lastly, this whole aspect of being un-pc for the hell of it. Frankie Boyle does it pretty well and, let's be honest, it's getting boring. I have no problem with people having an opinion on a subject when their opinion is well informed. Using a line like "limp shouty sort" would lead me to believe that you don't really know what you're talking about and that you are deliberatly trying to cause offense and controversy. That's not the same as being "un-pc". That's just being a dick.

Wasps have revealed that wing James Bailey is unlikely to play again this season after suffering a broken leg.
The former Gloucester finisher sustained the injury during the 24-6 defeat to Aviva Premiership leaders Northampton Saints last Friday.
Wasps boss Dai Young confirmed that Bailey, 29, will undergo surgery.
"We all know how hard he has worked over the summer months to get back to fitness after a shoulder injury he had in France, so everyone really feels for him," said the Welshman.
A series of narrow early-season defeats means the London club lie third from bottom of the table.

Stony Brook team aids effort to make polio vaccine

Latest hospital rankingsNo disease in the first half of the 20th century struck fear the way polio did.
Highly contagious, paralytic, crippling and, in some instances, deadly, it was a seasonal menace that required a titanic scientific effort to identify the tiny virus and contain its spread through vaccines.
Eradicated since 1979 in the United States, the disease exists in only three countries -- Afghanistan,...

Anyone who started the challenge late, or who wishes to continue after week 5, can put their week's wrapup here.
I'll keep posting weekly wrapups for as long as there is a demand.
My blog is Food and Shoes
This week I'm proud to say I continued my five bentos. Just. I've been having a very sooky week amongst my moving boxes and too much stuff. But now I'm determined to get back into the swing of things and eat better - because I really felt the lack of vegetables in the bento this week!
Good luck!
I also made all five bentos this week. This one actually looked nice! Most of my bentos taste nice, but presentation is something I really have to work on. Well, I don't have to seeing as it's only me who eats them, but I'd like to. Friday's lunch was an experiment that didn't quite work, but was yummy anyway.
I hadn't lost any weight at my Monday weigh-in, but that's OK. I seem to have got into a pattern of losing a lot one week and none the next. My total over the five weeks of the challenge was 2.7 kg, which is quite respectable for a person who only needs to lose 6 kg. Although I'd be happier losing 10, but we'll see what happens.

This group offers Yoga meetups, Meditation meetups, and free outdoor Yoga classes. The group often goes hiking or hangs out after class. Persons of all experience levels are welcome. Yoga, an ancient Indian body of knowledge, dates back over 5000 years. Yoga's purpose is unity and harmony through integrating the body, the mind, and the spirit. For such harmony and unity to grow, emotion, action, and intelligence must be in balance. Ancient Yogis developed a way to achieve and maintain this balance through exercise, breathing, and meditation - the three main structures of Yoga. Meditation is one of the main principles of Yoga. It is the practice by which there is careful observation of the mind. It requires you to focus your mind at one point and make your mind still in order to perceive the 'self'. Through the practice of Meditation, you will achieve a greater sense of purpose and strength of will. It also helps you achieve a clearer mind, improve your concentration, and discover the wisdom and peace within you.

BUFFALO, N.Y. — U.S. Army officials have said they do not know how much it will cost to begin shipping the Warfighter Information Network Tactical and associated Capability Sets (CS) of radios and communications equipment to two Afghanistan-bound brigade combat teams in October.
Several documents obtained by Defense News are able to put some meat on the program's bones, however.
A June 27 document produced by the Army's G 3/5/7 office lists the various CS 13 systems and the ground vehicles they will be integrated with, and totals $270 million per brigade combat team (BCT).
It is unclear how many BCTs that number covers, though it likely refers to the first three BCTs. Questions posed to three Army offices involved in the program — the G 3/5/7; the G8, which handles resourcing and development; and the System of Systems Integration (SoSI) directorate, which oversees much of the modernization program — were met with denials that anyone in the Army had tabulated how much the system will cost.
A spokeswoman from SoSI said their office is still working on the numbers and a final figure is a work in progress.
The Army has spent more than $470 million over the past two years as part of its network and communications modernization program, which includes brigade-sized evaluations at White Sands Missile Range, N.M., and the evaluation of technologies at Aberdeen Proving Ground, Md., and other labs across the country.
The money to field CS 13 is parceled out among program management offices, as opposed to one systemwide program office, said Paul Mehney, chief of communications for the SoSI office. In an email, he said "resourcing for procurement, life cycle management, integration and fielding of the systems is accounted for in each individual program line."
Given that, Mehney and a spokesman for the Army's G8 office both said their organizations have no general accounting of the overall cost of the sets.
The Army document provides numbers of various systems for the first time. It calls for 639 Net Warrior equipped Rifleman Radios per brigade and 1,917 systems for the first three brigades. Nett Warrior provides the dismounted soldier with voice, video and networking capabilities, putting the individual soldier in contact with higher headquarters for the first time.
The Army is also looking to procure 2,325 Rifleman radios for all three brigades to equip dismounted soldiers. General Dynamics, which is the lead on the WIN-T, makes the Nett Warrior and Rifleman systems.
It also calls for 1,995 of Harris Corp.'s 117G Manpack radios for all three brigades.
Industry sources have noted the Army has not issued contracts for this equipment, and they expect the service to conduct one more open competition this summer before making a procurement decision.
Adding weight to the numbers found in the G 3/5/7 document, which is labeled a "working draft," is the omnibus funding bill the Defense Department delivered to Congress on June 29, which asked for funds to be repurposed to assist in fielding the sets.
Both documents list $59.4 million to integrate CS 13 components onto Humvees for use as stateside trainers for units on predeployment work-ups. Both also identify $28 million to fund the Company Command Post function of CS 13, and $51 million to install the 117G radios on MRAPs.
CS 13 is the first major test of the service's new "agile process" acquisition plan that aims to purchase mature communications and computing technologies more often and in smaller quantities than traditional procurement actions, and to upgrade them quickly when new technologies come online.
In addition to the 3rd and 4th BCTs from the 10th Mountain Division, which will receive CS 13 in October to begin their train-up for their 2013 Afghan deployments, the 4th BCT from the 25th Infantry Division is also slated to begin training on the equipment in the summer of 2013.
The G 3/5/7 slides also indicate that the 1st, 2nd and 3rd BCTs from the 101st Airborne Division will be next in line to receive the training sets in fiscal year 2013, followed by the 1st BCT of the 2nd Infantry Division at an unspecified date.
While Army officials have stressed that Stryker vehicles are a priority for the network sets, Elizabeth Miller, SoSI synchronized fielding chief engineer, said Stryker units won't begin to train on the equipment until 2014, although plans are being drawn up for integrating the electronics onto the vehicles.

The wardrums are sounding again in the Middle East. We are witnessing a concerted offensive against Iran by Israel, the United States, France and the United Kingdom. It began several weeks ago in Israel, arising out of a public debate on the need to attack Iran before it develops nuclear weapons, but since them the campaign has been taken up for example at the G20 meeting in Nice where Obama and Sarkozy appealed for unprecedented pressure against Iran, while the British press speaks about preparations for war by the USA and the UK. [Français] [Castellano] Iran-Israel: No to the war threats from the State of IsraelThe wardrums are sounding again in the Middle East. We are witnessing a concerted offensive against Iran by Israel, the United States, France and the United Kingdom. It began several weeks ago in Israel, arising out of a public debate on the need to attack Iran before it develops nuclear weapons, but since them the campaign has been taken up for example at the G20 meeting in Nice where Obama and Sarkozy appealed for unprecedented pressure against Iran, while the British press speaks about preparations for war by the USA and the UK. This commotion had the sole aim of creating a climate of tension leading up to the report on 8 November by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) on Iran's nuclear programme. This report, like previous ones, adds nothing that can prove that the civilian nuclear programme is hiding a secret military programme. But unlike his predecessors, the current head of the IAEA, the former Japanese ambassador to Washington Yukiya Amano, is fully aligned to Western positions. The report mentions "information" supplied by the secret services of IAEA member countries hostile to Iran, which talk about "serious concerns regarding a possible military dimension to the nuclear programme". In the absence of hard evidence, the hawks resort to insinuation and manipulation in order to prepare public opinion for a military adventure against the Iranian theocracy. It has been this way for years: threats of imminent attacks against Iran are regularly featured in TV news bulletins. But are today's to be taken more seriously than usual? It is mainly a matter of ensuring that China and Russia do not use their right of veto on the UN Security Council to block a new series of economic sanctions against Iran. Until now, the West's strategy has been to isolate and strangle the country to make its leadership more docile. The fiasco that was Iraq invites prudence... To the extent that Pentgon chief Leon Panetta has warned against the "unforseeable consequences" that military action against Iran could have. But the danger of a war is far from discounted. We cannot guarantee that there will not be attempts made by extremists in Tel Aviv and Washington that could seek some sort of provocation that would suit their goals. Because the strategic situation of Israel has deteriorated greatly over recent years, creating feverishness among the military nomenclature that runs the country. On a regional level, the military alliance with Turkey has been broken, in Egypt the ever-conciliatory regime of the dictator Mubarak has been replaced by an instable regime that is less aligned with policy in Tel Aviv and Washington. Even the difficulties of the old Baathist enemy in Syria, which is allied to Teheran, are a source of worry; there could develop a situation like that in Iraq which Islamist fighter could seek to take advantage of to carry out operations in Israel. On the international level, the mobilization around the campaign of BDS (Boycott, Disinvestment, Sanctions) has had an effect, above all among traditional allies of Israel, which at national level, the powers in the country are faced with a massive social mobiliztion. There are those who dream of putting a stop to all this by means of a "victory" over Iran. But the worst case scenario in the Middle East is by no means inevitable. We can stop the spiral of violence, but to do this we need to face the problem at its roots: There will be no pease until the legitimate demands of the Palestinian people are satisfied. Alternative Libertaire is opposed to nuclear energy both for civilian and for military purposes and supports denuclearization at a world level, which implies that the great powers with nuclear arsenals (France, USA, United Kingdom, India, Pakistan, China and Russia) as well as countries like Israel and Iran, must destroy their arsenals and not acquire more.
All foreign troops must be withdrawn from the region, and in particular the US bases must be dismantled.

Nicer weather is here and that means a number of houses will be hitting the open market for sale. If you need to sell your house and you've never done it before, it can be a daunting task. Where do you start and how do you make it marketable? Well, we're here to help on Your Home. We checked in with a Real Estate Broker for all the information you need.
Kevin Clancy, Real Estate Broker said, "Selling your home is a process, it's not an event. The first step is finding out what your goal is for selling the home, what the home is worth and what kind of time frame you're looking at to reach that goal, whether it's moving up to a house or downsizing."
Once you settle a on a listing price for your home, it's time to make it as marketable as possible.
"When I list a home I look for the hook. What makes it different? Is it a larger yard? Is it the privacy? Is it the solarium in the back. What differentiates that home and that's what you want to play up on," said Clancy.
Now that you've listed and gotten the value of your home, it's time to make it presentable to be viewed, through pictures and open houses. Clancy has some ideas to how to make the property stand out.
"It's just like when you have company come over, you want your house to be presentable in the best shape it can be in and that's removing all clutter, opening all of the blinds, turning all of the lights on, making sure all of the odors are out, pet odors are gone. You want to bake an apple pie if you can," said Clancy.
And in the warmer months, you also need to make sure your first impression, the outside, is ready as well.
"Most buyers, statistically, will make the decision in the first 4 or 5 minutes of pulling up to a house. You want the front door to be painted, you want it clean, you want the outside to be as appealing as possible," said Clancy.
Clancy went on to tell us that the typical home sells in 3 to 6 months from the time it is listed. If it doesn't sell after six months it may be time to re-evaluate your pricing and your marketing.

Pirates still unsure about right field
"We're hoping, but September evaluations are tough," Russell said. "We've got a lot of guys. There are guys we feel good about. Obviously we'd like a guy to be in the lineup everyday and do what corner outfielders do. But we're not there yet."
A total of six players have played in right field this season, Garrett Jones leading the team with 45 appearences.
Manager John Russell doesn't expect to determine the every day player by the end of the season. He's hoping someone makes the most of the opppurtunity and runs with it.
Garrett Jones, Lastings Milledge, Ryan Doumit, John Bowker, Brandon Moss and Alex Presley are all being considered to be the every day right fielder but that doesn't mean the Pirates wont pursue other options in the free-agent market.
"We've got some good candidates in-house," he said. "It could be intriguing. We've got some guys who've had some success. We'll look at our options this winter and see what's available to us."
