Friends, Former Students Share Memories of Solveig Steen
Following the death of longtime piano instructor and Augustana alumna Solveig Steen on Friday, April 12, a number of her friends and former students took time to share their memories of her:
* * *
"I am so sad to hear of the news of Solveig. She was my piano teacher all four years at Augie (2002-2006) and I was so blessed to be one of her students. Here are a few memories that I will always cherish:
There were some times in college when I was not as prepared as I should have been for my lessons (I'm probably the only one in the history of the music department who felt this way- HA!) and so to divert attention from my lack of preparation I would ask her a question about the particular piece or how she would play it or a story about her life. And then she would be Miss Chatterbox and tell all sorts of incredible stories in her very matter-of-fact voice. And of course she would giggle and laugh constantly! She may have been a little lady but she was a strong woman!
My very last day of piano lessons, Solveig and I started to get the giggles and so we decided it would be fun to do something crazy. So we slowly peeked out her room door and when we didn't see anyone there, we rolled her office chair out of the room. She sat down in it and I pushed her all over the music "circle" in Humanities. Oh my goodness- how silly and absolutely hysterical it was!!! That was one of my favorite memories ever!
She always sat with her legs crossed at the piano. I do that sometimes, too!
My husband and I were blessed to be able to attend Solveig's fall concert. She was so good and so fun in her concert and afterwards we stuck around a few extra minutes to visit with her. I hadn't seen her in a few years but she still remembered me and many details about my life and my family!
When I found out about Solveig's death from my college roommate, my daughter's and I were, appropriately playing piano. She wasn't the only teacher in my life but she was one who made a deep impression on me. She will be missed!"
— Allison (Girtz) Antoine, Class of 2006
(Pictured above with Solveig following her Fall 2012 recital.)
"It was a great honor to have been one of her students. She was a gifted performer, an outstanding instructor, and one of the most patient, yet vibrant, people I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. She always had a smile for her students and knew how to share her drive for perfection while still understanding that not everyone wasn't going to get there. Goodbye, Solveig! You will be missed, but I'm sure you are entertaining the angels in Heaven!"
—Valerie Lietz
"First, I'll tell you a little about myself. I took lessons from Solveig starting at age 8 until I was 18. I graduated from Washington High School in 2007 and am now getting my master's in business administration at the University of South Dakota.
I would like share some memories I have of Solveig Steen.
She was my piano teacher for 10 years. She taught me everything I know about music and, looking back, I think that she was the reason that I came to love it so much. She would always play the most beautiful music for me. Watching her play, I could tell how much she loved it. I wanted to play just like her. A quote that she had posted in her office has stuck with me through the years: 'The fact that you are doing something all the days of your life that passionately interests you means you are going to want to stay alive as long as possible.'
She gave me a passion for music and I couldn't have asked for a greater gift. I'll never forget her.
My deepest sympathies go to those close to her and all of her other students, Solveig will be greatly missed."
— Allison Farmer
"My mother and Sos were first cousins. My mother's Aunt was Solveig's mother, Georgie. My Great Aunt and my mother's father, Ray Dalen were siblings, sister and brother. They grew up on a homestead near Buffalo Trading Post, west of Colton. We spent every summer on the 4th of July enjoying the family get togethers. Of course, Solveig would play at the piano and the love of music was presented to all of us. My grandfather, Solveig's Uncle Ray would bring out the Violin and the music would continue into the night. Good memories, good times! I am at a loss and am saddened by her passing. My mother, Arla Dalen spent her senior year in High School (Washington H. S.) living with her Aunt Georgie and her Uncle Constant and of course Sos, as I was used to calling her. Later, my Mom worked at Augustana as the Public Relations Director and when Solveig was in school at Augie, the family get togethers continued. When Sos was getting her teachers credential, she student taught at Jefferson Elementary School and I had her for a short while as my music teacher. I felt very fortunate to have had her as a teacher and I did learn a lot about music appreciation and the importance of music in our lives. I always told Solveig what a good teacher she was and, happy to have had such an accomplished artist in the family. I live in California now, but was looking forward to visiting her this coming summer as I spend some time on the family homestead. Solveig loved the time she spent on the farm and I wanted so much to experience those moments with her again. I would like to express sympathy to the extended family with this sudden passing of a good soul and family member.
— Bradley Brantner
"I studied piano with Solveig all four years at Augie and we kept in regular contact after I graduated in1999. She would update me on her latest home improvement projects, her travels, and of course, her beloved students. She truly cared about each of them, but had a soft spot for the youngest ones. One student in particular she lovingly referred to as "her adopted grandson, Sam" — who is probably a college student himself now.
The opposite of stuffy or rigid, Solveig had a delightful sense of humor and was just plain fun to be around. She'd wistfully recount how she 'weighed 88 pounds in her younger years' and was constantly saying she needed to diet (which she didn't) but that she loved food too much. She was a notorious night owl and would stay up until the wee hours of the morning watching cable TV ('there are just so many channels!'). She was always in the middle of some major project or other, either landscaping or remodeling or something that required power tools and heavy lifting. I visited with her at her home a couple times, and after showing me the latest and greatest improvements, she'd describe in detail the next 'to-do' item on her ever-lengthening list. She certainly didn't shy away from hard work and would go completely stir-crazy if an illness or injury stalled her progress.
Solveig's favorite musical piece was Samuel Barber's Adagio for Strings and once she took time out of my lesson to walk me down to the listening room, pull the LP off the shelf (because 'analog sounds better') and play it for me. We sat in silence listening to the gorgeous music, which she later pointed out was brilliantly used in the Charlie Sheen movie, Platoon. To this day, I think of her whenever I hear those gut-wrenching crescendos.
Solveig had a zeal for life: for faith, art, adventure, current events, music, and especially, the piano. She knew when I hadn't practiced but didn't berate me for it. Instead, she'd tell me about how much she practiced when she studied under Ruth Slenczynska, which had the same effect. She was a patient instructor who infused her lessons with laughter, storytelling, and artistic passion. She introduced me to my favorite composer, Frederic Chopin, and once told me, 'you were made for Chopin, and Chopin was made for you.' One of the greatest compliments I ever received was when she told me I had executed a passage from one of his Preludes better than she could. It was a proud moment for me, and I like to think it was a moment of pride for her too.
Every person can point to two or three teachers in his or her past who have had a lasting, life-changing impact. I am blessed that Solveig was one of those teachers. Even though she is gone, she will continue to be a pivotal figure in my life, and no doubt, in the lives — and music —of many others.
Blessed be her memory."
—Emily Cole-Jones
"I loved Solveig because she just told it like she saw it! Her sense of humor always made me laugh! Even after I graduated from Augie, my dad did her taxes and she continued to amuse me with her stories that she shared with my dad. Hope she is up there playing away on the piano in heaven!"
— Jami Beck, Class of 2003
"When Solveig interviewed my son, nine-year-old Andre Zachariahs as a prospective student, she challenged him about the rigors of her class and asked if he was up to the task. He responded, 'I'll try.' With a quick come-back she challenged him, 'you will not try ... you will do.' Immediately, I knew she was the right teacher. My son grew to love this diminutive stalwart! And we are glad Solveig lived to make that difference."
— Barry H Zachariahs (Andre's father)
"I studied piano with Solveig Steen about 10 years ago when I was a middle school student. I went to my lesson one day, and Solvieg knew I hadn't been practicing to the level she expected from me. In fact, that week I probably hadn't practiced at all. Every lesson began with two pages of assigned scales and, after I stumbled through them, she took a deep breath. She moved closer to me and held out her hands. 'I want you to feel this muscle right here,' she said, pointing to the area of her hand below her pinkie finger. I reached out and felt the muscle. To my surprise, the muscle was firm and extremely strong. 'I practice my scales every day,' she said, and I knew that Solveig, unlike my other teachers, would never be fooled by my sight-reading."
—Hannah Weise

Editor's Note: The text has been updated to reflect Wednesday's action, though the charts remain as of Tuesday's levels.
This week's selling has sent the main stock benchmarks for more nations into correction mode. What's a correction? That refers to when an index falls 10% or more from its recent peak, according to one common definition. Market watchers at some point collectively decided to slap a euphemistic label on that type of drop. Meanwhile, a bear market refers to a drop of 20% or more, and Turkey's main index is one that's wallowing in such territory.
The recent selling has been blamed on several factors, including the Federal Reserve tapering its bond-buying program that's boosted equities. Other factors have included worries about a Chinese economic slowdown and how that will hit emerging markets -- which also have their own domestic challenges. Plus, equities may have just needed to take a breather after big advances for many markets in 2013. Read on for a look at how key stock indexes around the globe have slipped.
--Victor Reklaitis @vicrek
Japan's main stock index, the Nikkei NIK, +1.19% entered correction mode on Monday, a session in which it dropped 2%. Following a tumble of 4.2% on Tuesday, the Nikkei was down 14% from its recent closing peak on Dec. 30. It then rallied Wednesday to finish 13% from that peak. Don't cry too much for this index. The Nikkei rose 57% last year, powered by the unprecedented stimulus measures unleashed on the world's No. 3 economy.
Hong Kong's Hang Seng HSI, +0.17% earned the dubious distinction of being in correction mode on Tuesday, when it fell 2.9% to end 10.99% from its Dec. 2 closing high of 24,038.55. Andrew Sullivan of Kim Eng Securities has suggested there will be more selling in Hong Kong. There are "a lot of people talking about waiting for the 20k support before buying," Sullivan wrote on Tuesday. More selling did in fact hit on Wednesday, with the Hang Seng falling 0.6% to finish at 21,269.38 — 11.5% off its Dec. 2 close.
Russia's RTS Index RTS, -0.70% has struggled so far this year, but 2013 was also tough going. The index surrendered the 1,600 mark back in February 2013, and it hasn't come all that close to reclaiming that level. While this dollar-denominated index rallied in September and October, it's generally been in a downtrend since closing at 1,518.54 on Oct. 22, showing a 15% decline from that level intraday Tuesday, along with a drop of more than 20% from its 52-week high. On Wednesday, it rallied to end 13.4% from its Oct. 22 peak. "The Sochi Olympics loom large over the country and the political leadership," says a recent report from Macro-Advisory, which provides consulting services to investors interested in Russia. "Only after the event is completed will we be better able to assess the impact in terms of politics, economics and the foreign perception of Russia." Read more: 10 secrets of the 2014 Sochi Olympics
As of Wednesday, the Turkey ISE National 100 Index stands down 22% from its recent closing high on Oct. 29. Turkey's challenges have been widely covered, from currency woes to street riots. The central bank recently jacked up overnight lending rates. Still, MarketWatch's Matthew Lynn has argued in his London Eye column that bargain hunters ought to consider exposure to this developing nation. "Government debt has dropped to 40% of GDP, half the levels of a decade ago, and in 2013 the country repaid the last of its loans from the International Monetary Fund," Lynn wrote in a column last month. "It also has a young, growing and well-educated workforce."
Brazil's Bovespa Index BVSP, +0.48% has traded more than 18% below its Oct. 22 closing high this week, so it's easily in correction mode if you're looking from that level. Looking back to its February 2013 highs, the index is down more than 20% and clearly in bear territory. Really, it's been a tough few years for this index, which surged in 2009 but underperformed since then. South America's largest economy ranks among the emerging-market nations with a current account deficit, and that deficit has been growing. Brazil is also quite exposed to any hiccoughs in China, which has become its largest trading partner.
European equities have slipped, but they're not in correction mode. Germany's DAX 30 DAX, +0.24% could enter a technical correction first. On Tuesday, that benchmark for Europe's biggest economy finished 6.8% off its Jan. 21 close of 9,794.05, then dipped further Wednesday to end 6.9% from that recent high. It's looking better for one broad European benchmark, the Stoxx Europe 600 Index SXXP, +0.13% On Tuesday, that index ended 5.5% off its Jan. 22 closing peak, then improved on Wednesday to 5.4% off that level. While losses haven't been huge for European equities, Yves Lamoureux, president of Lamoureux & Co., has said his shop is suggesting that clients completely exit Europe markets.
Do you remember that happy moment on Jan. 15 when the S&P 500 SPX, +0.28% eked out another record close? Well, the U.S. benchmark index is decidedly off that record level of 1,848.38. It held around there for a few sessions, then headed south like a snowbird. On Monday, the S&P 500 finished 5.8% below its record close, although on Tuesday it clawed back to within 5.0% of that level, then was little changed intraday Wednesday. Chart watchers have been discussing this week whether the index will drop all the way to its 200-day moving average, which is at about the 1,709 level.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, +0.07% finished 2013 in style, scoring a record close of 16,576.66 on Dec. 31. But the blue-chip barometer has endured seven triple-digit declines so far this year. On Monday, the Dow finished below its 200-day moving average, down 7.3% from its New Year's Eve record close. It closed below that key chart level again on Tuesday, but tacked on 72 points to move within 6.8% of that Dec. 31 mark. Intraday Wednesday, the Dow was little changed. Yes, the Dow just tracks 30 stocks, but one wag has noted that it's "still the market indicator that commands the attention of investment laity."

RENO, Nev. (AP) Backup quarterback Devin Combs hit Aaron Bradley with a 24-yard touchdown pass in overtime and Nevada came from behind to beat Wyoming 35-28 on Saturday.
In a strange game that saw both teams lose their starting quarterbacks, the Wolf Pack tied the game in the final seconds of regulation as Combs connected with Richie Turner from 44 yards out to tie the score at 28.
Nevada (5-1, 2-0 Mountain West) led 21-7 in the second quarter when starting quarterback Cody Fajardo went down with back spasms with 5:04 left to play. He did not return.
Nevada coach Chris Ault praised Combs, a sophomore who finished 11 of 19 for 217 yards and two touchdowns.
``It took Devin some time to find himself, but he did and I'm proud of him,'' Ault said. ``To bring this team back in the fourth quarter and then win this thing, that was pretty special.''
Fajardo was 19 of 26 for 221 yards and two touchdowns and an interception. His 20-yard scoring pass to Kendall Brock put Nevada ahead 21-7 with 9:50 left in the first half.
Wyoming (1-4, 0-1) came back behind quarterback Brett Smith, who was ejected with 8:16 left in the fourth quarter after receiving a second unsportsmanlike conduct penalty.
Smith's 8-yard touchdown run with 13:07 left in the game had given the Cowboys a 28-21 lead. He received his first unsportsmanlike penalty after the touchdown for taunting.
The second came on the Cowboys' next drive when Smith protested a Nevada defensive holding penalty that was waved off by the officials.
Wyoming coach Dave Christensen was critical of the call.
``Guy's running off the field, 3 yards from the sidelines running off the field, takes his helmet off and you're going to throw a flag on him,'' Christensen said. ``Kick him out of the game? That's unbelievable.''
Smith was 21 of 34 for 197 yards and three touchdowns. His replacement, Jason Thompson, was 1 of 6 for 10 yards.
Nevada had the ball first in overtime, starting at the 25. After rushing for 1 yard on the first play, Combs hit Bradley cutting across the middle from 24 yards out.
Wyoming then took over at the 25 and after Thompson rushed for 1 yard on the first play, he threw three consecutive incomplete passes to end the game.
The Cowboys held Wolf Pack running back Stefphon Jefferson, the nation's leading rusher entering the game, to 78 yards on 23 carries, nearly 100 yards fewer than his season average of 174.
``I think our guys did a nice job stepping up against the run, but gave up far too many passing yards,'' Christensen said.''

SAN ANTONIO, Texas — The No. 4 seed New Mexico State volleyball team won the 2012 Western Athletic Conference Tournament title by defeating No. 2 seed Idaho, 3-1 (25-20, 20-25, 27-25, 25-19) in the Convocation Center, Wednesday, Nov. 21.
The Aggies get an automatic bid to the 2012 NCAA Tournament and will find out where they play when the selection show airs at 2 p.m. on Sunday, Nov. 25 on ESPNU. The NCAA Tournament begins, Thursday, Nov. 29 in various locations around the country.
"I am really proud of the team and how they played. It's just a great feeling," head coach Mike Jordan said. "It is nice to get back into the tournament and we invite everyone out in Las Cruces to join us for the selection show. "
The watch party is planned for The Game Sports Bar & Grill in Las Cruces at 1:30 p.m. on Sunday.
NM State had four players with double-digit kill figures with sophomore Meredith Hays and junior Preslie Alexander marking a team-high 13 kills each. Red shirt freshman Bradley Nash and junior middle hitter Desiree Scott added 11 kills a piece. Hays was named WAC Tournament MVP while Scott and Ziegler were named to the all-tournament team.
The Aggies out-blocked Idaho 10-7 with Alexander leading the way with five block assists. Nash marked her first career double-double as she added 14 digs on the evening and Ziegler had a career-high 27 digs against the Vandals.
The Aggies took set one 25-20 out playing Idaho in almost aspect of the match, posting more kills (18-14), more blocks (3-1) and more digs (18-12). Nash led the way marking five kills in the set while the Aggies scored seven of the last nine points to go up one set to zero.
NM State took an 11-5 lead in set two but fell 25-20. The Aggies allowed Idaho to hit .385 with 19 kills while NM State tallied only 13 kills. In a set that had eight ties and three lead changes, Idaho scored the last three points to close out the one set it won.
Set three was very close all the way through with 14 ties and six lead changes. Idaho had more kills than the Aggies (20-16) but also had more errors (7-2) giving the Aggies the points they needed to win. NM State was down 23-20 before going on a 4-1 run to tie it at 24-24. After a 25-25 tie, the Vandals committed two straight errors to win 27-25.
The Aggies served tough in set four posting three service aces and tallied 16 kills compared to Idaho's 11 to win the set 25-19. The Aggies took a 4-3 lead after a Scott-kill and would not relinquish that lead. NM State extended its lead by as many as five on a service ace by Hays to make it 18-13 before winning and earning it's first ever WAC Tournament title.
The Aggies are the lowest seed to ever win a WAC tournament title as Utah State won it two years ago as a No. 3 seed.

The United States Armed Forces are the overall unified military forces of the United States. They consist of the Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force, and Coast Guard.
The United States has a strong tradition of civilian control of the military. While the President is the overall head of the military, the United States Department of Defense (DoD), a federal executive department, is the principal organ by which military policy is carried out. The DOD is headed by the Secretary of Defense, who is a civilian and a member of the Cabinet, who also serves as the President's second-in-command of the military. To coordinate military action with diplomacy, the President has an advisory National Security Council headed by a National Security Advisor. Both the President and Secretary of Defense are advised by a six-member Joint Chiefs of Staff, which includes the head of each of the service branches, led by the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and the Vice Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
All five branches are under the direction of the Department of Defense, except the Coast Guard, which was made an agency of the Department of Homeland Security in 2003 following governmental reorganization after the September 11 attacks. The Coast Guard may be transferred to the Department of the Navy by the President or Congress during a time of war.[5] All five armed services are among the seven uniformed services of the United States; the others are the United States Public Health Service Commissioned Corps and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Commissioned Corps.
From the time of its inception, the military played a decisive role in the history of the United States. A sense of national unity and identity was forged out of the victorious Barbary Wars, as well as the War of 1812. Even so, the Founders were suspicious of a permanent military force and not until the outbreak of World War II did a peacetime army become officially established.[6]
The National Security Act of 1947, adopted following World War II and during the onset of the Cold War, created the modern U.S. military framework; the Act merged previously Cabinet-level Department of War and the Department of the Navy into the National Military Establishment (renamed the Department of Defense in 1949), headed by the Secretary of Defense; and created the Department of the Air Force and National Security Council.
The U.S. military is one of the largest militaries in terms of number of personnel. It draws its manpower from a large pool of volunteers; although conscription has been used several times in the past in times of both war and peace, the draft has not been used since 1972. The U.S. spends about $664 billion per year on its military,[4] constituting approximately 40 percent of world military expenditures. The U.S. armed forces as a whole possess large quantities of advanced and powerful equipment, which gives them significant capabilities in both defense and power projection.
The history of the United States armed forces dates to 1775, even before the Declaration of Independence marked the establishment of the United States. The Continental Army, Continental Navy, and Continental Marines were created in close succession by the Second Continental Congress in order to defend the new nation against the British Empire in the American Revolutionary War.
These forces demobilized in 1784 after the Treaty of Paris ended the War of Independence. The Congress of the Confederation created the United States Army on June 14, 1784, yet for a period the United States did not have a standing army. The 1787 adoption of the Constitution gave the Congress the power to "raise and support armies," "provide and maintain a navy," and to "make rules for the government and regulation of the land and naval forces," as well as the power to declare war and gave the President the responsibility of being the military's commander-in-chief.
Rising tensions at various times with Britain and France the ensuing Quasi-War and War of 1812 quickened the development of the United States Navy (established October 13, 1775) and the United States Marine Corps (established 10 November 1775). The United States Coast Guard dates its origin to the founding of the Revenue Cutter Service in 1790; that service merged with the United States Life-Saving Service in 1915 to establish the Coast Guard. The United States Air Force was established as an independent service in 1947; it traces its origin to the formation of the Aeronautical Division, U.S. Signal Corps in 1907 and was part of the U.S. Army before becoming an independent service.
The United States has the largest defense budget in the world. In fiscal year 2010, the Department of Defense has a base budget of $533.8 billion. An additional $130.0 billion was requested for operations in the War on Terrorism.[4][7] Outside of direct Department of Defense spending, the United States spends another $185–237 billion each year on other defense-related programs, such as Veterans Affairs, Homeland Security, nuclear weapons maintenance, and the State Department.
By service, $225.2 billion was allocated for the Army, $171.7 billion for the Navy and Marine Corps, $160.5 billion for the Air Force and $106.4 billion for defense-wide spending.[8] By function, $154.2 billion was requested for personnel, $283.3 billion for operations and maintenance, $140.1 billion for procurement, $79.1 billion for research and development, $23.9 billion for military construction, and $3.1 billion for family housing.[9]
In fiscal year 2009, major defense programs also saw continued funding. $4.1 billion was requested for the next generation fighter, F-22 Raptor, which will roll out an additional twenty planes for FY 2009. $6.7 billion was requested for the F-35 Lightning II, which is still in development. Sixteen planes will be built as part of the funding. The Future Combat System program is expected to see $3.6 billion for its development. A total of $12.3 billion was requested for missile defense, which includes Patriot CAP, PAC-3 and SBIRS-High systems. $720 million was also included for a third missile defense site in Europe. $4.2 billion was also requested to continue the aircraft carrier replacement program. With the addition of AFRICOM, $389 million was requested to develop and maintain the new command.[10]
Historically, defense-related spending in the United States is at its highest inflation-adjusted level since World War II. Per-capita spending is at approximately the same inflation-adjusted level as the peak of the late-1980s Cold War military build-up and the 1968 peak of the Vietnam War. In his most-recent budget, President Obama has proposed gradually decreasing Department of Defense spending by 15% over the next five years, from a peak of $675 billion (2009 dollars) in FY2010 to $575 billion (2009 dollars) in FY2014.[11]
As of February 28, 2009 1,454,515 people are on active duty[12] in the military with an additional 848,000 people in the seven reserve components.[3] It is an all volunteer military, however, conscription can be enacted by the request of the President and the approval of Congress. The United States military is the second largest in the world, after the People's Liberation Army of China, and has troops deployed around the globe.
In early 2007, Secretary of Defense Robert Gates proposed to the President to increase the overall size of the Army and Marine Corps to meet the needs of the War on Terrorism.[13] Current plans are to increase the Army to 547,400 and the Marine Corps to 202,000 by 2012. The expansion will cost a total of $90.7 billion between 2009 and 2013 as the Navy and Air Force undergo a limited force reduction.[14] In addition, in 2009, Gates proposed increasing the size of the Army by 22,000 troops in order to reduce fatigue from multiple trips overseas, and to compensate for troops who are in recovery away from their units.[citation needed]
As in most militaries, members of the U.S. Armed Forces hold a rank, either that of officer, warrant, or enlisted, and can be promoted.

As of March 31, 2008, U.S. armed forces were stationed at more than 820 installations in at least 135 countries.[18] Some of the largest contingents are the 142,000 military personnel in Iraq, the 56,222 in Germany (see list), the 33,122 in Japan (USFJ), 28,500 in Republic of Korea (USFK), 31,100 in Afghanistan and approximately 9,700 each in Italy and the United Kingdom. These numbers change frequently due to the regular recall and deployment of units.
Altogether, 84,488 military personnel are located in Europe, 154 in the former Soviet Union, 70,719 in East Asia and the Pacific, 7,850 in North Africa, the Near East, and South Asia, 2,727 are in sub-Saharan Africa with 2,043 in the Western Hemisphere excepting the United States itself.
Including U.S. territories and ships afloat within territorial waters
A total of 1,118,027 personnel are on active duty within the United States and its territories (including those afloat):[19] The vast majority, 883,430 of them, are stationed at various bases within the Contiguous United States. There are an additional 36,827 in Hawaii and 19,828 in Alaska. 90,218 are at sea while there are 2,970 in Guam and 137 in Puerto Rico.
Prospective service members are often recruited from high school and college, the target age being those ages 18 to 28. With the permission of a parent or guardian, applicants can enlist at the age of 17 and participate in the Delayed Entry Program (DEP). In this program, the applicant is given the opportunity to participate in locally sponsored military-related activities, which can range from sports to competitions (each recruiting station DEP program will vary), led by recruiters or other military liaisons.
After enlistment, new recruits undergo Basic Training (also known as boot camp in the Navy, Coast Guard and Marines), followed by schooling in their primary Military Occupational Specialty (MOS)or rating at any of the numerous training facilities around the world. Each branch conducts basic training differently. For example, Marines send all non-infantry MOS's to an infantry skills course known as Marine Combat Training prior to their technical schools, while Air Force Basic Military Training graduates attend Technical Training and are awarded an Air Force Specialty Code (AFSC) at the apprentice (3) skill level. The terms for this vary greatly, all non-infantry Army recruits undergo Basic Combat Training (BCT), followed by Advanced Individual Training (AIT), while all combat arms recruits go to OSUT, one station unit training which combines basic and AIT, while the Navy send its recruits to Recruit Training and then to "A" schools to earn a rating. The Coast Guard's recruits attend basic training and follow with an "A" school to earn a rating.
Initially, recruits without higher education or college degrees will hold the pay grade of E-1, and will be elevated to E-2 usually soon after the completion of Basic Training. Different services have different incentive programs for enlistees, such as higher initial ranks for college credit and referring friends who go on to enlist as well. Participation in DEP is one way recruits can achieve rank before their departure to Basic Training.
There are several different authorized pay grade advancement requirements in each junior enlisted rank category (E-1 to E-3), which differ by service. Enlistees in the Army can attain the initial pay grade of E-4 (Specialist) with a full four-year degree, but the highest initial entry pay grade is usually E-3 (Members of the Army Band program can expect to enter service at the grade of E-4). Promotion through the junior enlisted ranks occurs upon attaining a specified number of years of service (which can be waived by the Soldiers chain of command), a specified level of technical proficiency, and/or maintenance of good conduct. Promotion can be denied with reason.
With very few exceptions, becoming a non-commissioned officer (NCO) in the United States military is accomplished by progression through the lower enlisted ranks. However, unlike promotion through the lower enlisted tier, promotion to NCO is generally competitive. NCO ranks begin at E-4 or E-5, depending upon service, and are generally attained between three and six years of service. Junior NCOs function as first-line supervisors and squad leaders, training the junior enlisted in their duties and guiding their career advancement.
While considered part of the non-commissioned officer corps by law, senior non-commissioned officers (SNCOs) referred to as Chief Petty Officers in the Navy and Coast Guard, or staff non-commissioned officers in the Marine Corps, perform duties more focused on leadership rather than technical expertise. Promotion to the SNCO ranks, E-7 through E-9 (E-6 through E-9 in the Marine Corps) is highly competitive. Manning at the pay grades of E-8 and E-9 are limited by federal law to 2.5 percent and 1 percent of a service's enlisted force, respectively. SRNCOs act as leaders of small units and as staff. Some SRNCOs manage programs at headquarters level and a select few wield responsibility at the highest levels of the military structure. Most unit commanders have a SRNCO as an enlisted advisor. All SRNCOs are expected to mentor junior commissioned officers as well as the enlisted in their duty sections. The typical enlistee can expect to attain SRNCO rank after 10 to 16 years of service.
Each of the five services employs a single Senior Enlisted Advisor at departmental level. This individual is the highest ranking enlisted member within his/her respective service and functions as the chief advisor to the service secretary, service chief of staff, and Congress on matters concerning the enlisted force. These individuals carry responsibilities and protocol requirements equivalent to general and flag officers. They are as follows:
Additionally, all services except for the Air Force have an active Warrant Officer corps. Above the rank of Warrant Officer One, these officers may also be commissioned, but usually serve in a more technical and specialized role within units. More recently though they can also serve in more traditional leadership roles associated with the more recognizable officer corps. With one notable exception (helicopter and fixed wing pilots in the U.S. Army), these officers ordinarily have already been in the military often serving in senior NCO positions in the field in which they later serve as a Warrant Officer as a technical expert. Most Army pilots have served some enlisted time. It is also possible to enlist, complete basic training, go directly to the Warrant Officer Candidate school at Fort Rucker, Alabama, and then on to flight school.
Warrant officers in the U.S. military garner the same customs and courtesies as commissioned officers. They may attend the Officer's club, receive a command and are saluted by junior warrant officers and all enlisted service members.
The Air Force ceased to grant warrants in 1959 when the grades of E-8 and E-9 were created. Most non-flying duties performed by warrant officers in other services are instead performed by senior NCOs in the Air Force.
There are five common ways to receive a commission as an officer in one of the branches of the U.S. military (although other routes are possible).
Officers receive a commission assigning them to the officer corps from the President (with the consent of the Senate). To accept this commission, all officers must take an oath of office.
Through their careers, officers usually will receive further training at one or a number of the many staff colleges.
Company-grade officers (pay grades O-1 through O-3) function as leaders of smaller units or sections of a unit, typically with an experienced SNCO assistant and mentor.
Field-grade officers (pay grades O-4 through O-6) lead significantly larger and more complex operations, with gradually more competitive promotion requirements. Officers in pay grades O-1 through O-3 are informally considered junior officers; those serving in pay grades O-4, O-5 and O-6 are sometimes recognized as senior officers.
General officers, or flag officers, serve at the highest levels and oversee major portions of the military mission.
These are ranks of the highest honor and responsibility in the armed forces, but they are almost never given during peacetime service and are only held by a very few officers during wartime:
No corresponding rank exists for the Marine Corps or the Coast Guard. Like three and four-star ranks, Congress is the approving authority of a five-star rank confirmation.
The rank of General of the Armies is considered senior to General of the Army, but was never held by active duty officers at the same time as persons who held the rank of General of the Army. It has been held by two people: John J. Pershing who received the rank in 1919 after World War I, and George Washington who received it posthumously in 1976 as part of the American Bicentennial celebrations. Pershing, appointed to General of the Armies in active duty status for life, was still alive at the time of the first five-star appointments during World War II, and was thereby acknowledged as superior in grade by seniority to any World War II era Generals of the Army. George Washington's appointment by Public Law 94-479 to General of the Armies of the United States was established by law as having "rank and precedence over all other grades of the Army, past or present," making him not only superior to Pershing, but superior to any grade in the United States Army in perpetuity.
Though women may serve as military police, fighter pilots, and on combat ships, as of 2008, female service members are prohibited by policy from intentional assignment to certain ground combat forces, and from serving on submarines. (See History of women in the military#United States.)
The "don't ask, don't tell" law (10 U.S.C. § 654) allows homosexuals to serve in the military as long as they do not disclose their sexual orientation; the Government is also not allowed to ask service members or prospective recruits about their sexual orientation. Since the policy was enacted in 1993 by President Bill Clinton, thousands of service members have continued to be discharged when their orientation came to the attention of the military.
Both policies have been the subject of high-profile public controversy in the 1990s and 2000s, with advocates citing military necessity and the special requirements of combat conditions, and opponents denying military necessity and characterizing the policies as unjustified discrimination.
Non-citizens are allowed to join the U.S. military (but not to serve as officers) if they possess a green card. Green card holders are required to register for Selective Service.[20] Those serving are given an expedited citizenship process. 40,000 non-citizens are currently enlisted with 8,000 enlistments a year.[21][22] Federal law allows application for citizenship after one year of active service and President Bush signed an executive order allowing non-citizens to apply for citizenship after only one day of active-duty military service.[21] A program to recruit a limited number of specially skilled immigrants with only temporary immigration status drew some controversy.[23] Illegal immigrants are not allowed to enlist although some have completed JROTC.[21]
African-American representation in high quality Army recruits has declined by 7.1 percent between 2000 and 2007. The primary factor driving this decrease appears to be the American involvement in Operation Iraqi Freedom.[24]
Representation of numerous religious affiliations is present throughout the branches of the military.[25]
Under current Department of Defense regulation, the various components of the Armed Forces have a set order of seniority. Examples of the use of this system include the display of service flags, placement of Soldiers, Marines, Sailors, and Airmen in formation, etc. When the United States Coast Guard shall operate as part of the Navy; the cadets, United States Coast Guard Academy, the United States Coast Guard, and the Coast Guard Reserve shall take precedence, respectively, after the midshipmen, United States Naval Academy; the United States Navy; and Naval Reserve.[26]
Note: While the United States Navy is actually older than the United States Marine Corps [27], the Marine Corps takes precedence over the Navy due to previous inconsistencies in the Navy's birth date.[27] The Marine Corps, however, has recognized its observed birth date on a more consistent basis.[27] The Second Continental Congress established the Navy on October 13, 1775[27] and the Marines Corps in November 10, 1775.[27] The Navy did not officially recognize October 13, 1775 as its birth date until 1972 when, then-Chief of Naval Operations, Admiral Zumwalt authorized it to be observed as such.[27]

Joe Biden's secret fundraisers
Vice President Joe Biden has been crisscrossing the country attending closed-door fundraisers and donor events for Democratic House candidates — but you won't find many on his schedule.
In Seattle, Biden worked a photo line at Boeing Field before taking off on Air Force Two. In New York, Biden hit up donors at a hotel in lower Manhattan after addressing the Goldman Sachs energy conference. After a speech in a Philadelphia hotel ballroom, Biden slipped off to a separate room to meet with campaign donors.
Story Continued Below
None of these side events were on the official public schedule — and they came with strict rules from Biden's office for the elite group of participants: No emails. No Facebook or Twitter posts, before or after. Phone is best, they tell everyone involved. Nothing written at all — that would complicate security and require approval from the White House.
( Also on POLITICO: House to spend $350K on Obama suit)
All told, Biden's done more than two dozen of these unofficial events, tacked on to government and campaign trips, with more under-the-radar appearances already planned, according to people familiar with his activities.
The vice president's office doesn't even want to call these events fundraisers. But they have a clear purpose: Biden remains a major draw for core members of the Democratic Party — and for a man still holding open the option of a 2016 presidential run, the events give him yet another way of supporting Democrats in the midterms while keeping in touch with important players around the country.
The events are coordinated with the campaigns, which pay for any costs of the events and list them on their own Federal Election Commission filings. Biden's office also does not generally make formal invitations to photo lines, which he tends to do at nearly every official and political event. (The Secret Service has been known to block windows at his events not so much for security, but to keep Biden from seeing more people outside and going out to work the crowd.)
( Also on POLITICO: Local, state Democrats go rogue)
"The vice president does not deliver remarks, they are 5- to 10-minute photo lines. We don't put photo lines on our public guidance in any form, whether it's political or official," the vice president's office said.
That's not how other Democrats see them.
Some of the events are indeed "fundraisers," said a Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee aide, though "some of them are donor maintenance events."
"Photo lines are popular because they are a quick mechanism for campaigns to introduce the vice president to their supporters," said the DCCC aide.
( WATCH: Joe Being Joe: A POLITICO Magazine look at 'Bidenisms')
"The vice president has been tremendously helpful in a number of our districts — whether it's helping candidates raise money, or talking about strengthening the economy for the middle class — and we're grateful for his hard work," said DCCC Executive Director Kelly Ward.
On May 29, for example, Biden flew to Seattle for a Democratic National Committee fundraiser.
That was the only event on his public schedule. But it wasn't his only event in Seattle.
( Also on POLITICO: PAC to end all PACs is a farce)
Before Biden left town, he worked a photo line at Boeing Field for Rep. Suzan DelBene (D-Wash.), Air Force Two parked outside on the runway, the flag with the seal of the vice president positioned on the right of every shot.
"He did a small meet-and-greet at the airport for us. There were approximately a dozen folks," said DelBene spokesman Viet Shelton, who said donors contributed to the campaign around the time of the meeting with Biden.
On June 11, Biden flew to New York to talk about an "energy transformation that is literally changing the world" at the Goldman Sachs North American Energy Summit.

UpdatesAugust 19, 2009
While it's been a fairly quiet summer around these parts, that doesn't necessarily mean I've been slacking off. Let's run down the list.
New Chalkwork Icons & Search
Back in June while sitting around recovering from some minor surgery, I spent a weekend producing a new free icon set for payments and ecommerce called, naturally, Chalkwork Payments. It highlighted a fairly obvious deficiency in the collection, so immediately after I set to work on a much larger commerce set. Creatively named Chalkwork Commerce of course.
Due to the growing size of the overall icon family (2500+ now), I decided a better way to find a specific icon was in order. So with a bit of PHP and metadata-creation elbow grease, I put together what I think is a fairly robust search tool that matches actions, metaphors, shapes, and colours.
Start with the fact that searching an image for context still isn't something computers are good at. Then factor in the subjective nature of what an icon stands for, and the way one image often means multiple things. I didn't really see a shortcut for doing the matching; it had to be a manual tagging job. I built a 110k index file that tags each icon in a dozen or so different ways. Here's one example:
Hey, when you're off your feet recovering, you have a lot of time on your hands. I can't imagine I've covered every possible search, but that's good enough for now.
The funny thing is that I built this mainly as a sales tool, a way of saying look, I've got an icon that matches what you need even if it isn't labelled that way. But after launch it was pointed out it's also quite useful for people who have bought the icons, as a way of making those same connections since you probably don't have the entire list of what you've bought fresh in mind. Seems obvious in hindsight, but it was nice to have the work pay off in more than one way.
Back in June I sat in on a full day Processing workshop with local Flash and Processing wiz Jer Thorp. I've been seeing a lot of interesting work with data visualization happening lately, and given that the language was ported to Javascript last year, it seemed like a language I could spend some serious time digging into.
The workshop was a great way to kickstart an interest. I've spent the last month or two working up a small base of sketches (as each program is named) that are helping me work through the syntax, and more importantly the mental shift from designing for 2D text and images to the very different world of designing in 3D when change over time is a factor.
I haven't yet got to the point where I'm doing anything terribly useful with it, but that hasn't stopped me from documenting the progress on a new blog I set up to keep from cluttering this one with something decidedly un-web. Check out Ex Nihilo if you're interested in following along.
You might remember a post from last year called Producing, where I explored some options visual web designers have for creating products, aside from web and iPhone apps that require developer help.
Shawn Kelley took the idea to heart, and created a site called WallBlank that sells limited edition prints late last year. In a nice example of things coming full circle, he asked me to contribute one of the Processing sketches I've been working with. That's now for sale, you can buy one of a limited edition of 100 unique prints called "Bokeh Array".
This one was particularly fun because I figured it would be worth taking full advantage of Processing's generative abilities; each print is unique, though they share a common palette for consistency. Sounds tricky, right? Not exactly. Pressing a single button and getting 100 vector PDFs as output within a minute or two is just one of the many nice things about working with such a graphics-focused language.
Site Issues
It's possible you noticed over the past month this site's home page came and went a few times. Don't worry, it's not going anywhere.
My own fault most likely, but the Delicious API has been a bit problematic for me; the scripts I've been using to pull in remote data cache it, but despite an interval of a few hours between checking for new data, there seem to be some API calls leaking out during that interval that trigger throttling. Delicious has a low tolerance for that sort of thing, and every so often there just wasn't anything showing up.
Combine that with a lack of posts or relevant Flickr photos recently, and the Google Reader items I'm sharing not actually showing up, and the entire home page was affected for a little while.
The Google Reader issue was interesting; at first I thought maybe they had changed something in the totally unofficial API, but then I realized that when I'd bought and started using 1Password I'd converted all my important passwords over to 32 character strings of random nonsense and I just hadn't updated it.
Simple to fix, and problem solved. Now that I can arbitrarily share any item on the web in Google Reader I'll likely be relying on Delicious less anyway.
How am I liking 1Password, incidentally? Quite a lot. You know that nagging feeling that you really shouldn't be using the same password for every web service out there, and that back-of-your-mind worry that one compromised site could lead to a massive online identity takeover, and that you really should do something about it, but it's really just too much of a pain in the ass to bother remembering all these different passwords, and oh forget it I'll just keep using the same insecure password as always?
Yeah, that's gone. My passwords look like this now: t0zDIHYqam<n5jCFgqGVj&Y"q=dPKmvY — and every site I use has a unique one. I actually do feel safer.
And one last thing in amongst all the randomness today. Coming up in December I'm speaking in San Francisco at An Event Apart, which will be only my second speaking date of 2009. I've slowed down quite a lot this year, but AEA was a must. It's always an honour to share a stage with a roster of people like Jonathan Snook, George Oates, Andy Budd, Jeff Veen, and Jared Spool. AEA remains one of the best conferences in the business, and I hope to bring the proverbial awesome.

Reader Comments
I am really hoping to make it to AEA in December. I actually won a free conference ticket at AEA New Orleans, so I really should use it. Would be fun to grab a beer again.
You should log you icon searches (if you are not already). It'll be a great way to see what icons people are most interested in and which ones you are missing.
@Matt - yeah, try and make it over! It would be great to share a beer or three again.
@Courtney - thanks for the suggestion. If you search for something non-existent (just enter some random characters) you'll see that there's a dialog asking you to flag that for possible inclusion in a future set. I'm not capturing all searches cause that'd probably be like drinking from the firehose, but I've got the "nothing found" scenario covered.
… and for those looking for a free alternative 1Password, I recommend KeePass. It's open source, and there are versions for a wide variety of platforms.
Why 1Password and not Apple's Keychain Access? I'm going to do just like you and change all my important password (it's been on top of my to list for way too long) and I'm looking for the right tool.
Keychain pros: builtin in OS X, synchronizes with MobileMe
Keychain cons: not available on the iPhone…
I also prefer different passwords for different pages although it's hard not to forget them.
What about KeePass? Is it a good alternative?
Good Iconwork by the way, I also made a few hundreds and I know how much work it is to design them.
Hope they sell good?
Big thumbs up Dave, I love the icon set and the search tool is really impressive!
Thanks for the AEA SF discount tip.
And by the way, the choose of colours of this page especially with the pic on top is fabulous! Great composition!
I've just tried the IconMatcher (the icon search tool), My designer is now working on a new australian website and we were looking for a shopping cart icon, I used the search tool and it worked great, the engine returned couple of nice options - thanks.
As for AEA in San Francisco I really hope to be there this time, as i've missed the last one
BTW, thanks for the 100$ discount :-)

Of all the forms of sustainable power generation, wave power is probably the most neglected. That may soon change, however, as an energy producing buoy off the coast of Hawaii is now being used to provide power to a Marine Corps Base.
Dubbed the PowerBuoy, and created by Ocean Power Technologies, the device is able to gather power from the movement of the waves around it. The company claims that it's "smart," meaning it can adjust itself to best compensate for changing wave conditions. The PowerBuoy in Hawaii is the first ever wave power device to provide energy for a US electrical grid.
It may be the first, but it clearly won't be the last as OPT already has plans to install a much larger wave farm instillation off the coast of Oregon that is expected to power hundreds of homes starting in 2012.

The Senate Environment and Public Works Committee passed a water-projects bill this week that could help advance the federal Morganza-to-the-Gulf hurricane-protection system.
The Senate Environment and Public Works Committee passed a water-projects bill this week that could help advance the federal Morganza-to-the-Gulf hurricane-protection system.
The bill, called the Water Resources Development Act or WRDA, passed committee Wednesday. The bill could authorize construction on Morganza and would address other prioritizes for Louisiana, including U.S. Army Corps of Engineers reforms.
The bill has bipartisan support in the Senate, and is co-sponsored by Sens. Barbara Boxer, D-Calif., and David Vitter, R-La. Boxer is the chairwoman of the U.S. Senate Environment and Public Works Committee, and Vitter is the ranking Republican member.
Terrebonne Levee Director Reggie Dupre said Vitter's position on the committee paid off for Morganza, because the senator insisted that the only way he would support the bill was if authorization for Morganza was included.
"WRDA is one of the most important and impressive bipartisan bills that works for Louisiana, and the bipartisan unanimous consent from the committee gives us strong momentum for when we move it to the full Senate," Vitter said. "Our bill will implement real and necessary reforms to the Corps of Engineers to decrease project delivery time so that folks will be better protected from flooding, and other projects can help jump-start increased commerce."
Morganza is a system of levees, floodgates and a lock on the Houma Navigation Canal designed to protect Terrebonne and Lafourche from storm flooding. The project has been in development for more than 20 years.
The project was authorized in the last Water Resources Development Act in 2007 but was kicked back for another study to bring it up to post-Katrina construction standards. The project was estimated to cost $886 million in 2007, but a draft report released in January increased that cost to nearly $13 billion.
The corps is finalizing its report on Morganza. It will be reviewed by top corps officials in May, Dupre said.
"I'm more hopeful than I was before," Dupre said. "But I think the challenge will be more in the House than the Senate."
Vitter has inserted language into the WRDA bill that would authorize projects that already have a favorable Chief's Report from the corps.
Vitter has said he also plans to continue putting pressure on the corps to accelerate completion of Morganza's Chief's Report and will seek contingent authorization if it appears that the corps will miss its deadline.
But even if the bill passes with Morganza's authorization in it, the project will still have to navigate a backlog of corps' construction spending estimated to be as much as $90 billion.
It will also have to go back to Congress to secure construction dollars.
WRDA includes some revisions to U.S. Army Corps of Engineers protocols that could benefit projects like Morganza, including prioritizing and setting time lines for projects once assessment reports have received federal authorization, and implementing penalties for missed deadlines.
Priority would be given to areas with hurricane and storm damage and those with significant flood risk that have received federal disaster declarations in recent years.
It also streamlines environmental reviews, allows more local and state agency control for certain projects, and includes an innovative financing authority which will provide federal government loans for flood-protection projects when local money is available.
But U.S. Sen. Mary Landrieu, D-La., said more investment in the corps is needed to meet coastal needs.
"We must at least double the budget for the Army Corps of Engineers. Even with the deauthorizations that will occur due to this legislation, our country will have billions of dollars in backlogged, unconstructed, authorized projects," Landrieu said. "The current corps budget of $1.7 billion could easily be spent in Louisiana alone and is not nearly enough to address the national need.
"Timely and adequate corps' investments save lives and property. We can either make smart investments in our water infrastructure at the front end or continue to spend billions of dollars on recovery after a disaster hits — I think the right choice is clear, and I hope this legislation paves the path for it."

In his empire, there's some old proverb that says: "Only truth harms." And, to see the acts of MARION regarding Bellocks, she must have heard a lot of truths she didn't wanted to face. Whatever they are. And Carboneater won't spend his time saying what these truth are, he'll leave the honnor to MARION. After Carboneater is done saying that, he left.

It's in the same degree a step over this border like beeing hurted by this words. And it was specialy stupid to insult your enemy while you're defenseless and in his range. Maybe there is another kind of communication you can use. Maybe you can think about surrender to your enemy. If he continue attacking you, then you will be in the right. Back to top CarboneaterGuest Posted: Fri Jan 18, 2008 12:14 Post subject: Carboneater checks the entry "insult the self-proclaimed queen of light" in his "to do before bying" notebook. Carboneater then looks at the message Empi sent... The only thing Carboneater finds to do is to reopen his notebook and add the entry "help Empi understand the very basics of being an imperator, and of this conflict.(leave unchecked)" Carboneater decided to send a message anyway. So, here's the first lesson of being an imperator is that when you're insulted, laught at it. This way, your bootlicking subs will trust you even more. Second lesson, stand up! It's not because you've been agressed that you're dead. You're able to rebuild your empire, as long as your agressors have a little bit of honnor. And leave you alone after taking down your fleet. You're no more of a threat at that time. Third lesson, create the rules, do not follow them. You control a part of the game, so why should you submit yourself to others when you're in control? Fourth lesson, use other's weaknesses against themselves. See, right now, MARION is a very emotive Imperatress. And, as soon as she finds the slightiest insult somewhere, she'll attack and rip. And, after, she'll deny any accusations of ripping... Guess Bellocks has nothing to prove now, but he knows that he'll be ripped down to nothing, so, he's trying to beat MARION somewhere. And, he succeeded. Re-read lesson 1,2 and 4 to figure out how he did it. Fifth lesson, you're on your own. Even though you're part of a massive deployment, or in a reckon for the house, you don't have backup ready to help as soon as you need it. If you had such a backup, you wouldn't be useful, the other could do the job alone. Sixth lesson, act with honnor. Make your ennemy unable to fight you for the end of the battle, and leave him alone. He'll rebuild, for sure, but you may sign a NAT which will protect you both. Or, even better, he may become your ally. However, if you rip him, for sure, he'll stay your ennemy as long as you're alive. Guess that's about it. Carboneater sent this message, even though he was sure he'll get a "I already knew all that, you wasted your time, dude" as answer from Empi. And, the others won't really be concerned about what's being exposed in there, they all already knew that. Finally, Carboneater re-opened his notebook, doublechecked his "insult the self-proclaimed queen of light" entry anc checked the "help Empi understand the very basics of being an imperator, and of this conflict.(leave unchecked)". With a smile of amusement, Carboneater thought of how many times Bellocks would've checked the entry "insult the queen" in this saga... Carboneater reads the note at the bottom of the page of his notebook. "Insults are vain, unless the targetted person finds it disregarding of his accomplishments. First lesson explains it all."

The rolls were wound so tight that the vinyl separated from the backing in a line every few inches. I laid each roll out flat on the countertop overnight but still so much curl and paper separation made it very hard to handle. I tried both dry and wet application but neither worked very well. Probably should have laid it out in the sun before I unrolled it. Bad experience! USPS beat the heck out of the box, not to mention getting it wet during the 6 days it was anyone's guess where it was. Tracking said expected delivery Friday. Got it Tuesday. Par for them tho. Contents was sealed well and undamaged. Just thought it should be easier to work with considering I removed all the trim from the vehicle first. Live & learn!
