Why does the delivery date not correspond to the delivery timeline of X-Y business days?
It is possible that the Seller or our courier partners observe a holiday between the day you placed your order and the date of delivery, which is based on the timelines shown on the product page. In this case, we add a day to the estimated date. Some courier partners and Sellers do not work on Sundays and this is factored in to the delivery dates.

For other areas, orders will be sent by Registered Post through the Indian Postal Service which may take 1-2 weeks depending on the location.

Rated 3 by PEGI, developed by Sports Interactive and published by Sega, Football Manager 2012 is a football management simulation video game for the PC.
The transfer and contract systems have been changed drastically; the changes include more effective application of youth and amateur contracts, loyalty bonuses, the power to lock areas of contract negotiations and an enhanced transfer centre - all these facets help you in maintaining your budgets.
Many scouting improvements have been incorporated in this game as well. All the data that you need before a game begins is given to you in the in-game report. The in-game report presents tactics information, squad analysis, information about conceded and scored goals and much more to the user. Other additions include a brand new crowd system, many more stadiums, fresh animations, enhanced weather system and two new camera angles.
In your saved game, you can add or remove playable nations whenever you please. Also, you don't need to play as the country that you picked to represent at the beginning of your game; you can change your nation after a season has been completed with it. The new tone system allows you to talk to your team in a more specific manner; there are 6 different tones that the user can choose to utilize when delivering comments.
The newly introduced adaptive layout system displays more information if your screen resolution is high. Furthermore, this intelligent interface features a new tactics screen, customisable columns, filters and many overview screens. Lastly, a new tutorial mode allows novices to pick up the game quick while also offering clues to veteran managers on how to achieve the best they can more effectively.

Got this game from here. Arrived neatly packed , this game is awesome and some great new additions from the Old FM11 to this especially in terms of the team talks . Works great , you dont need a state of the art PC to run it .We can add news leagues in the middle of the game .The game automatically updates via Steam . Addicted to it now .
Cons : The compulsory installing of Steam to run the game is the only thing that can be against it .
Love this game. But had to wait for long to lay my hands on it. The game released almost one month after it's worldwide release. Had to download some files after installing. Took lot of time.
It's graphics are a great improvement. Best change is however you can choose to now move across more than 3 countries while playing.
FM 2012 is the best game in the entire series so far! SI games have made plenty of tweaks to the gameplay, the player interaction, the transfers and the other aspects of the game.
- Improved gameplay
- Better Player interactions
- Ability to add/remove leagues in the middle of your save game
- Huge Database of Players, Leagues and Teams
- You can now manage International youth teams like for the Olympics
- Better International Team Management
- Team Meeting feature
- Better and more detailed Transfer and Contract negotiations
- More realism
- Highly addictive

Everything is good. Except for few things,
Unable to play the game as soon as installed. Must update(Nearly 300 MB) for start playing, which takes lot of time.
Steam for launching.
No in-built data editor.
3D graphics is very bad, and taking more time to load.
Application crashes sometimes.
Player faces are not available for English and other leagues.
For next release: We do not want STEAM for launching...!!
I am a fan of the FIFA Manager series. I purchased this game because I had read a lot of great reviews about it and I was willing to give it a try.
While the FIFA Manager series focuses on non-football activities like youth players, stadium infrastructure, personal life etc. Football Manager puts too much emphasis on football. However, the real problem with this game is its poor interface and horrible graphics.
I guess its a good game for extreme enthusiasts who want to know what it feels like to be a real manager, but I didn't find this game worth playing. If you are an amateur gamer wh... (Expand)

Our macs here used to be set up so users got their AD network home drives mapped when they login in when the path was in the following format in AD;
However to make adding new users easier for ourselves we changed the AD accounts so the home directory path is now as follows;
This works fine in windows but on the macs it just maps users$ which they don't have permission to so..
Is there an easy way of fixing this?
I've written this applescript which ejects the users$ share, queries AD for the current users home directory, converts the \\ into / and maps that as an SMB share.
However i'm hoping there's an easier way of doing this that i've missed as i've got to apply this to around 100 macs..
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.Code:
set diskName to "users$"
tell application "Finder"
if disk diskName exists then
eject disk diskName
end if
end tell
set homedir to (do shell script "dscl /Active\\ Directory/domainname.org.uk -read /Users/$USER SMBHome | grep \\\\\\\\.* -o")
set x to SaR(homedir, "\\", "/")
on SaR(sourceText, findText, replaceText)
set {atid, AppleScript's text item delimiters} to {AppleScript's text item delimiters, findText}
set tempText to text items of sourceText
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to replaceText
set sourceText to tempText as string
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to atid
return sourceText
end SaR
set networkhomedir to the result

Rackspace hires technology director for Asia-Pacific
Summary: The cloud service provider has snapped up industry veteran Alan Perkins for a newly created role.
Hosting and cloud service provider Rackspace has appointed Alan Perkins as its director of technology and product for Asia-Pacific.
In this newly created role, the IT veteran will be spruiking Rackspace's open cloud standards model, designed to avoid vendor lock-in, on the back of growing cloud computing adoption in the region.
"This is an important time for the development of open cloud technology as Australian firms align to truly flexible computing models that will ensure they can perform with maximum agility in both the short and long term," Perkins said in a statement.
He will be based in Sydney, where the company recently set up its first Australian datacentre.
Perkins previously spent more than a decade with software developer Altium, and was the CIO there for seven years. He was a finalist for the IDC Asia-Pacific CIO of the Year award in 2009.
Perkins has over 20 years experience in systems analysis and design.
"At a time when cloud and hosting decisions are becoming increasingly important to business, it gives us tremendous confidence to know that we've got someone of Alan's diverse experience, leadership skills, and deep knowledge of technology on board," Rackspace Country Manager for Australia and New Zealand Mark Randall said in a statement.

I've really enjoyed cooking again over the past few weeks, and if I can find time to cook at least meal from scratch each week then so can you! It's all about getting the hang of cooking different recipes. Once you've made risotto or pie once or twice, cooking them will soon come easily to you and you'll want nothing but fresh home cook food. I thought I would leave you with a few tips I've learnt throughout the years and the past few weeks for cooking.
Cooking tips.
When slicing meat into strips, partially freeze the meat first so it is easier to cut.
To keep your beef burgers juicy, add cold water to the beef before cooking.
Add a little milk to the water when cooking cauliflower to keep it white.
To get more juice out of your lemon, microwave for 15 seconds.
To check whether your eggs are out of date or not, fill a bowl with water and pop the eggs in, if they sink they're bad, if they float your all good!
To prevent potatoes from budding add an apple to the bag they're in, no idea how why it works but it does!!
For poor students, in stead od throwing away left over wine, freeze it and use them as ice cubes or for casseroles and sauces.
Use a funnel when separating eggs by pouring the egg into it. The yolk will stay in the funnel and the whites will fall through.
Roll up your pack of bacon before opening it to help separate the rashers.
When cooking spaghetti hold it with both hands, twist it and drop it in the pan to prevent it from sticking together.
· When preparing a cucumber cut down the middle of the cucumber horizontally and vertically before slicing it to create segments for a salad.

My attitude towards sushi has always been a little bazaar. I think it looks delicious and I've always wanted to try it, but because I thought all of it contained raw fish, I'd been put off. Not very logical I know.
That is until a few months ago, when a friend informed me that some sushi contains chicken instead of fish and some dont have any meat in them at all. I was delighted!
I immediately went on the hunt for a sushi recipe that my fussy taste buds would agree with so I could try some, and I found one:
You can get all the ingredients needed for this recipe at Adsa, Just following this link:
Cooking Sushi Rice
I discovered that cooking sushi rice is not as simply as basmati. The recipe I followed told me to follow the directions on the packet of rice, but I found these to be too vague and they failed me. It took me 3 attempts before I found the perfect instructions in a YouTube video:
Who knew sushi rice was so complicated! Here comes the fun bit.
Making the Sushi
Here's a video I created to help…
Once I perfected how to cook the sushi rice, this recipe was so much fun. For something you may think is difficult to make, it's actually rather simple. I got all of my ingredients from Asda and all my housemates said it tasted as good the sushi from Yo Sushi. I had never even tasted sushi until I made it today, let alone thought of making it myself. Unfortunately, however, making it was more fun than actually eating it. Again my fussy taste buds let me down and I was not a fan of the nori sheets. I should have really known seeing as I'm not so keen on seaweed. Determined to like it though, I did look into some substitutes for the nori and discovered soy wraps are commonly used, so I may give these a try at a later date.
If you feel like getting your friends involved with the sushi making fun, there are classes in most larger cities that hold evening classes to teach you and your friends the basics. Here are a few websites to check out…
Until next time!

With the weather being so rubbish and cold is week, I decided to cook a home recipe that always makes me feel warm and leaves me full and satisfied; a hearty beef stew. I was going to find a recipe on line, but decided who better to get a recipe off than the man who has made hundreds of perfect stews for me in past, my Dad.
So here is the Jury family's recipe.
Jamie Oliver gives a great tip on how to prepare onion and garlic for cooking. Follow the links below to see how its done.
Onion - www.youtube.com/watch?v=ts3G5MKz3_E
Garlic - www.youtube.com/watch?v=KaUtS24RjAo
You can get all the ingredients needed for this recipe at Sainsbury's, just go in store or follow this link:
Serve with rice and crusty bread and enjoy.
This meal was so easy to make, even my much undomesticated boyfriend could prepare it. Being a student I think the slow cooker is genius! This recipe is so easy to execute you can prepare it in the morning before heading out, then come home to a healthy, descent meal at the end of the day. All of the ingredients came to just under £10, and the amount I made fed me for 5 nights! A lot of my friends say they rarely make such large portions because they won't want to eat the same meal 5 nights in a row. However it is possible to freeze this stew and reheat it at another time, or even better invite some friends over to join you!
For dinner I will normally eat meatballs in sauce with spaghetti, not exactly nutritious. If most students eat the same way as me if not worse, I am not surprised that everyone falls ill at uni. With the lack of some simply food such as onion, our immune system is fighting a losing battle! This meal can help you keep colds at bay and generally make you feel healthier. My boyfriend drunkenly stumbled into my house the night I had made this stew, and demanded I reheat some for him. Granted he was drunk, but he did say it was the best food he'd ever eaten after a night out, so there's an added bonus. Instead of eating kebabs and pizzas after a night out, heat up a nice bowl of Jury's Stew!
Until next time!

I love risotto but have always thought it to be a difficult recipe to get right. Also I can be a very fussy eater, therefore most recipes I find for risottos include an ingredient I don't care for. For these reasons I've never tried cooking it.
I found this recipe in the most unlikely place, Sainsbury's recipe website. The recipe actually included mushrooms, but I'm not a fan of mushrooms so I didn't include them.
I got all of my ingredients for this recipe at Sainsbury's, just go in store or follow this link:
To make it veggie: Add 200g of mushrooms, try swapping the chicken for 410g kidney beans and the chicken stock for vegetable stock.
This recipe went so well I'm thinking of cooking it every week! It was really easy to cook and it made my kitchen smell amazing! It cost me about £6 and made enough to feed 4 of my friends. It taste's amazing but I did need to add some bread as a side dish. I'm also thinking of adding more ingredients next time time such as more onion and garlic, and maybe some peppers to give the recipe more variety in taste.
Until next time!

Personally I've always loved to cook and try new dishes. As a kid I would always pay attention when mum and dad cooked us dinner, so I could teach myself new recipes and I wanted to be able to cook them dinner now and again. Coming to university, however, and not having the time to cook everything from scratch, I've been forced to buy jars of sauce instead of creating my own. I'd hate to become lazy with my cooking, as one day I want to teach my kids how to cook simple recipes in an attempt to prevent them from becoming "jar junkies". Therefore I've decided to start a blog to document my return to the kitchen.
I'll be covering a few traditional English recipes that I'm slightly familiar with, but also delving into the unknown by experimenting with foreign dishes. So, utensils at the ready, lets get stuck in! Watch this space.

A romantic Valentine's Day – a nice dinner and a lovely outing – is every woman's dream on this special holiday. For such a warm event, you will definitely need a hot red dress to show your elegance.
Red is for Valentine. Valentine's Day dresses come in several designs and styles yet the common ones are short dresses. Today, I'd like to share with you darlings various dresses for celebrating V'day, I've collected dresses that will suit every woman, no matter of her tastes and shapes. These dresses can be worn at dinners, cocktail parties and evening events. Keep in mind, fitted dresses are often suited for all kind parties, just team them with elegant stiletto shoes and believe me, you will be the queen of the night (you can wear it even outdoors). Lavish dresses with draping, several cuts and ruffles can be worn at any party as well.
If you are going to indoor party, then choose whatever short style dress: halter dress, slit dress, cut back dress or deep V-neck one. My favorite fbrics are chiffon, silk and satin, as they evoke femininity and love.

Cookie Monsta
To say this show caught me off guard was an understatement. I hadn't been to Firestone in months, and the fact that I got dragged there on essentially a bad date meant that I wasn't expecting to have a good time in the slightest.
I had never heard of Cookie Monsta before this, I was just told that he was heavy face-melting dubstep.
This dj turned out to be amazing. The dub was dark and intense like I haven't experienced live before, I usually don't even really go to dubstep shows, but I loved it so much that I went to see Figure the very next week.
Ignition as a whole was fun too, They had great lighting for the show and they kept the whole venue foggy which I think went great with the type of show that was being put on.
I would totally see him again in a heartbeat. Come back soon dude.
With the crazy week I had, I'm so beyond ready to have some fun tonight.
What an amazing show!

Where We Live: Explorers
Climbing, hiking, spelunking and everything in between
It's been fewer than sixty years since Hillary and Norgay ascended the height of Everest, since Piccard and Walsh survived the depths of the Mariana Trench. Not even a century has passed since Peary and Amundsen traversed the North and the South poles.
But today … today more than a hundred people climb Mount Everest every year, and commercial cruise lines promise a trip to the poles for a fee and your signature on a waiver.
So what's left? What is there still to discover? Where, on earth, is the frontier?
Today on Where We Live we go exploring in the world of earthbound exploration. We'll poke around in the deepest caves, we'll peek out from the tops of the tallest trees. And we'll try to stop and look at what we might've missed on our mad rush to the edges of the Earth.

2. Break Up With the Ex, For Good.
That ex. The one that, if you're being really honest, still manages to have an inexplicable hold on you. The one who'll text you out of the blue and throw your whole life in disarray. The one that you've been trying (unsuccessfully) to be "just friends" with for years. The one who you inevitably end up talking about to anyone who will listen, even though it's been a long time now.
You aren't dating. You shouldn't waste so much mental energy on that person, and you know it. Break up for good, and move on with your life.

(Image from Zilas PHP Frameworks Build To Develop Dynamic & Static Websites In Kenya).
[schema type="review" name="Useful PHP Frameworks" description="Here is a handful of some PHP frameworks I highly recommend you to try out. Each of the PHP frameworks has extensive features and documentation support." author="Rob Attfield" pubdate="2013-01-17" ]
If you want to create a highly dynamic website, then these PHP frameworks will make your ideas a reality. These frameworks are feature packed full of plugins and features – that will make it easier for you to create a highly interactive site. All of these frameworks come with helpful support and extensive documentation, if come across any barriers. Here are a few of the PHP frameworks I have come across:
(Image from https://twitter.com/CodeIgniterNews).
CodeIgniter is the first PHP framework I came across – while working on one of my projects (called "CareerCloud"). Like many other PHP frameworks I've seen, this is based on the Model-View-Control (MVC) structure. This framework is very well known for it's extensive documentation – making it a breeze to learn and grasp. Below is a list of features and reasons from CodeIgniter's official website – which highlight why you should at least give this one a go:
- You want a framework with a small footprint.
- You need exceptional performance.
- You need clear, thorough documentation.
- You are not interested in large-scale monolithic libraries.
- You need broad compatibility with standard hosting.
- You prefer nearly zero configuration.
- You don't want to adhere to restrictive coding rules.
- You don't want to learn another template language.
- You prefer simple solutions to complexity.
- You want to spend more time away from the computer.
Zend Framework
(Image from http://framework.zend.com/).
The Zend Famework is a framework that contains high-performing features that are modular, extensible, enterprise-ready, and very secure. One of the things that impresses me the most about this framework is that it can be integrated with other frameworks. This is a framework I will be investigating in more detail, and eventually testing it's cross compatibility with other frameworks. If you get stuck on any aspect of the framework, there is a strong supporters community that are willing to help you.
(Image from http://cakephp.org/).
CakePHP is another highly-rated framework, which has extensive features that allow for prototypes to be rapidly developed. Like the Zend Framework, CakePHP provides numerous security features for web based applications. This framework is also built upon a Model-View-Control (MVC) structure, which provides a set of conventions to guide you in developing your application. The framework requires no additional configuration, via the use of complicated XML or YAML files.
(Image from http://www.yiiframework.com/).
I have only came across this framework by name, so I am just including this for my own research (and to share with you). Yii is known as a fast, secure, and professional PHP-based frameworks which specializes in high-powered Web 2.0 applications. Packed with features, such as MVC, DAO/ActiveRecord, I18N/L10N, caching, authentication and role-based access control, scaffolding, testing, and plenty more. A helpful and knowledgeable online community is ready for your questions if you need them, and there are numerous books for you to learn from as well.
(Image from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joomla).
I have seen Joomla become a very popular framework – I feel embarrassed because I have yet to even try it (I will be soon though!). This framework is built on Object Oriented PHP, stores data in MySQL databases. Like the other frameworks in this post, it is based on the Model-View-Control pattern, and includes features such as page caching, RSS feeds, printable versions of pages, news flashes, blogs, polls, search, and support for language internationalization. Joomla is used across a wide variety of web based applications – used in organisations such as:
- Corporate Web sites or portals
- Corporate intranets and extranets
- Online magazines, newspapers, and publications
- E-commerce and online reservations
- Government applications
- Small business Web sites
- Non-profit and organizational Web sites
- Community-based portals
- School and church Web sites
- Personal or family homepages
Final Words
This group of PHP frameworks represents only a small amount that are available out there for you to try. They will each have benefits – some better than the other, with more enhanced features and cross-compatibility. If you have tried any that you really like, feel free to leave a comment and I'll have a look at it (and even add it on here :)).

School Zone and Enrolment Forms
Out of Zone Enrolments have now closed.
Enrolment Procedures
The following documentation is to be provided by the student:
For applications for years 10-13 the following will also be requested
Enrolment applications will only be confirmed once all details and documentation have been checked by Papatoetoe High School staff. For students currently at a secondary school, this process takes at least four school days, and students will be informed when the enrolment is confirmed or if there is further information that we require.
To be considered as being "in-zone" a student's confirmed address must be within the school zone on enrolment date (i.e. the first day of attending the school). Students who use a temporary address to gain a place at the school or who provide false information on the enrolment form will have their enrolment annulled. Note: If the usual place of residence for a student differs from the parents' address(es) then the application will be challenged.

Enrolment Scheme
In accordance with the Education Act 1989, the Ministry of Education has informed Papatoetoe High School board of trustees that it is their view that the school continues to need an enrolment scheme to avoid overcrowding. The schools scheme is designed with the following objectives:
The board will delegate to the principal the authority to act as the board's agent in the decision making process, though the board reserves the right to examine any special circumstances and make its own judgement. Home Zone EnrolmentsThe zonal boundaries provide a home zone for enrolments. Any student whose current place of residence is in this home zone is entitled to enrol at the school.
A link to the Ministry of Education's school zones website is on our links page.Out of Zone enrolmentsThere will be no automatic right of entry for any student living outside the home zone. However the board will make available out of zone places of a number such that the optimum school roll will not be exceeded or appear likely to be exceeded at the time the decision is made.There will be no guaranteed acceptance for siblings of present or former pupils of the school. Pre EnrolmentEach year the board of trustees will:
Applications will be accepted in terms of this scheme once it has been notified in accordance with Section 11G(6) of the Education Act 1989Home ZoneThe home zone is the area enclosed by the following boundaries:

2009 is quickly ticking past (can you believe it's the middle of February already??) but I have had a number of conversations lately refering back to New Year's Eve.
Well today's is a case in point. The lovely @Bruff from Gizmodo Australia came to talk to the team and mentioned in passing that he had spent NYE singing along to Singstar, the karaoke game for the Playstation. I noted this in particular because I too spent NYE singing into the console.
I also spent the night before Australia Day doing the same, and during the BBQ/party at least 3 party-goers confessed to having spent their NYE demonstrating their own Singstar talents.
So I have two questions for you, dear reader.
1) Did anyone do anything OTHER than Singstar for NYE and,
2) Is Singstar the new going out?

I have heard about the civilized,
the marriages run on talk, elegant and honest, rational. But you and I are
savages. You come in with a bag,
hold it out to me in silence.
I know Moo Shu Pork when I smell it
and understand the message: I have
pleased you greatly last night. We sit
quietly, side by side, to eat,
the long pancakes dangling and spilling,
fragrant sauce dripping out,
and glance at each other askance, wordless,
the corners of our eyes clear as spear points
laid along the sill to show
a friend sits with a friend here.

FM Students Visit WAER
By Joe Lee
Two groups of 6th graders from Eagle Hill middle school in the Fayetteville-Manlius school district visited WAER today for a tour of the station and to record their annual radio production of "A Christmas Carol". The trip was arranged by teachers Kent Jeffery and Carol Borg. WAER's Cora Thomas and Eric Cohen assisted with the recording.

Providenciales, otherwise known as Provo, is the main urban region of the Turk & Caicos Islands. With all the facilities and services you could possibly need for a sensational holiday in the sun, Provo is the ideal base for either a full exploration of the islands or simply a luxurious holiday in the Caribbean sun.
Beaches surround the Provo region, providing endless choices spots on which to relax. You could not wish for a more spectacular beach than the 12km stretch of white sand that is Grace Bay, and the offshore barrier reef keeps the beach perfectly safe for swimming, as well as providing a home to thousands of tropical fish that make snorkelling and scuba diving such an absolute delight from a Provo villa. Scuba diving in Provo is world class, and whatever your level of experience, suitable tuition and guidance can be easily found. Windsurfing, deep sea fishing, kite surfing and para-sailing can all be enjoyed from a self catering Provo property too.
The natural islands that adorn the sea here provide some of the most enjoyable sailing in the whole of the Caribbean. There are a great number of bays with safe mooring, and more hidden tropical beaches than you can imagine. By taking a yacht rental or a chartered boat, you can discover the whole of Turks & Caicos under your own steam, throwing anchor where you desire, and having a swim, a dive or even go fishing. Sapodilla Bay is a particular favourite for sailors living in Provo accommodation. There are three marinas in Provo, so anyone wishing to try sailing, charter a boat or indeed try almost any water sport should be able to arrange it all with great ease.
If you can drag yourself away from the stunning beaches of Provo, there is a huge amount to do on land too. The Long Bay Hole, a huge limestone chimney, is a natural marvel that is well worth investigating, and the ruins of the Richmond Hill Plantation are also of great interest. Provo is also home to many superb restaurants, lively bars, a casino and even an 18 hole golf course.
Those looking for even more peace and seclusion can head for Middle Caicos, the largest and most sparsely populated of the Turks & Caicos Islands. The island is wonderfully secluded, and offers beautiful fishing and many natural phenomenon that cannot fail to inspire and impress, especially the Lucayan Caves.
With over 350 days of bright sunshine every year, it is extremely unlucky to visit a Provo beach house rental during a period of bad weather! Temperatures are remarkably constant throughout the year, with only a couple of degree differences between the summer (June-October) and the winter (November – May). Year round you will be bathing in temperatures of between 27 and 32˚C from a Provo holiday rental.
Providenciales Airport (PLS) is the main entry point to the Turks & Caicos Islands, and luckily for those of us travelling from the UK, receives direct flights from the UK on a regular basis. British Airways provides direct flights to Provo Airport from Heathrow (LHR).

Catherine's work explores the visual experience of everyday urban life. Her paintings and drawings convey everything from abandoned buildings and old piers, to warehouses, bicycles and bubblegum machines. The common threads running through this seemingly diverse collection of subjects are utilitarian pragmatism, structural honesty, and an inadvertent beauty often arrived at through time and decay.

I saw Auletta on Charlie Rose, and having read other books on Google (Battelle's book, The search, was quite good) much of what he said I'd heard, seen or read before.
The big question, the question that echoes back to Microsoft, is how much power any company should be allowed to have.
In Microsoft's case this was easier, as it was a company that many hated already, or had gripes about its products earning how much they'd paid for them. The public largely was happy to see people questioning and challenging Microsoft's power.
But Google is an enormously popular company. Most of their products are free. Their brand status is still very high.
But the core question, at what point, even for, lets say, a benevolent company, does their degree of control over any market or technology work against the long term interests of everyone involved?
In the book, does Auletta explore the privacy issue? This another dimension that makes fears about Googles dominance more complex than others.

When The Revivalist arrived at the studio for Royal Family Records to meet up with Adam Deitch (hip-hop, jazz, and funk drummer for Lettuce), Eric Krasno (guitarist of the much revered band Soulive), and Nigel Hall (multi-instrumentalist/vocalist), only Kras and Hall were present. Deitch was at his dad's gig at B.B. Kings. Both of his parents are professional drummers. Go figure.
Hall and Kras reminisced about how the entire Royal Family Records was formulated, and how Hall got roped into the mix. Kras broke down the science of the industry, as things have changed throughout the years since he's been heavy on the scene, touring big with Soulive since 1999. At this point, Deitch showed up to recall the makings of Lettuce, and the good old days of Berklee. Obviously touring worldwide and garnering a massive cult following wouldn't suffice, so they started a production company called The Fyre Department, where they produce tracks for some heavy hitter hip-hoppers and soul artists too. Ones that you and I might hear on a radio station.
Here is our insiders look on Krasno/Deitch/Hall in an average day in their studio. This of course wouldn't be complete without a spontaneous jam session…

Salmon with Huckleberry Sauce on Caramelized Onions - Recipe
I did something new - I went huckleberry picking. Huckleberries are a wild berry that grow at higher elevations here in Montana. We've been here 7 years and not managed to participate in this activity for any number of reasons but this year we finally did. And apparently it was a good year for them. We found a spot and came home with close to five pounds of the little purple beauties that I have now frozen for the hubby for winter eating. I don't care for them; they are like a tarter blueberry. He loves them.
I took some of them and made him a sauce for a lovely piece of Chinook salmon. He was a happy man. Of course the huckleberries could be easily replaced with blueberries.
Salmon with Huckleberry Sauce
1 5oz piece of salmon
canola oil
3/4 cup huckleberries, divided
1 TBS red wine
1 TBS red wine vinegar
1 tsp brown sugar
1 tsp fresh marjarom, divided
1 tsp butter, optional
salt and pepper
For the caramelized onions:
1 medium onion
1 large shallot
1 tsp fresh thyme
1 TBS olive oil
1 TBS sherry
salt and pepper
water as needed
Start by making the caramelized onions as they will take some time. Slice the onion and shallot into 1/8 - 1/4" slices. Heat a pan and add the olive oil. Add the onion and shallot slices the thyme and some salt and pepper. Let the onions sweat and cook down until they are quite soft. Add the sherry. If the pan seems dry you can add water to keep the onions from sticking. Cook the onions until they start to turn brown and are very soft and sweet. (my photo of the finished onions was blurry.)
Add all but about a TBS of the huckleberries to a saucepan. If you don't have access to huckleberries you can use blueberries. Let them cook a bit until they release their juices. Add the red wine vinegar, the red wine and the brown sugar. Add salt and pepper to taste.
When the sauce has cooked down a bit and just before you are ready to serve add the butter if desired to thicken the sauce and add a touch of richness.
Heat a fry pan over medium high heat. Add about a tsp of canola oil. Salt the salmon fillet on both sides. Add it to the hot pan and cook the salmon on both sides about 2 minutes. The cooking time all depends on the cut of the salmon. Let it rest for about 3 minutes out of the pan.
Serve the salmon on top of the onions with the huckleberry sauce on top. Sprinkle the remaining whole huckleberries and marjoram on top.
As you can see I served it with some brown rice and roasted green beans from the garden.
He loved it! He said the tartness of the sauce combined with the sweetness of the onions were perfect foils for the salmon. There was nothing left on his plate! That's what I like to see.

They look like a cross between blueberries and cranberries. I've never tried them before, but I must say I like how you've used them!ReplyDelete
Looks great. I've never tried huckleberries before. I bet I would love them.ReplyDelete
Mmmmmm, Huckleberries! Funny enough, I was visiting Coeur d'Alene ID in August 2007 and it was huckleberry season. So the resort we were staying at offered huckleberry everything. I loved them! From breakfast smoothies and pancakes to a huckleberry vinaigrette dressing and sorbet... yes, it was a treat. Your salmon dinner looks amazing! Wish I were there to enjoy huckleberry season with you. :)ReplyDelete
I've never tried huckleberries but that looks like a great way to use them. I should try your recipe with some blueberries - these grow in most grocery stores around here.ReplyDelete


text: This is an old recipe from the Homesteads. Don't you just love the name? Being a kind of angel food cake it should, obviously, be made in an angel food cake pan. I had a moment of mommy brain and made it in a Bundt cake pan, though, and it turned out super yummy regardless.

I totally disagree with this review. Mr. Thomas astounded me in the depth of hatred he was able to call on, especially after the genuine gentleness he radiated in the earlier acts. In my opinion, this was a wonderful performance by one of our great classical actor and should be applauded.

As a fan of the Public's Shakespeare productions for nearly 25 years, I am thrilled that they are doing lesser known works, especially plays as timely as this. Of course it's not a "perfect" play, but the messy and the imperfect are too easily discarded in our popular culture. I loved the knotty, sometimes ugly, language of Timon and thought it was beautifully executed by the cast. Mr. Thomas was compelling, complex and passionate as the fallen aristocrat,and it is to his credit that the character retained the subtle shadow of an aristocrat in the second half. This illustrates Mr. Thomas' acting chops as well as the director's skill. Keep up the great work, Public!
— Dani, NY, NY
March 3rd, 201112:55 pm
I disagree too. I wasn't that bad and misinterpreted it's just not one of his better plays. Perhaps it may be the fault of the perception of Shakespeare is that it's always perfect unless it's done wrong. it's not a very good play to begin with. it's the contemporary parallel to what would happen if adam rapp and a younger neil labute got drunk a wrote a play....in one night. i challenge anyone to name some REMARKABLE experience they've had seeing this play. having said that; shakespeare is SO important. what are you doing getting SO picky and pithy with the inaugural production of this wonderful workshop lab? shame mr. isherwood. i can critique piano better than i can play it; that doesn't make my words more useful. trying finding a way to shed a taste of light on this. y'know. do some good?

March 3rd, 201112:55 pm
I found Mr Thomas' performace captivating. I thought that he was able to portray Timon's vulnerability quite eloquently. Timon's fury in the latter half of the play had overtones of disappointment that were also well-portrayed.

I respectfully disagree with your review.
I thought Mr. Thomas' Timon rendered such a convincing vulnerability.
This Timon is not a villain, but the society in which he lives is and lost its value system. So, this Timon is confused.
Instead of portraying Timon having only extreme black and white mental states, I thought Mr. Thomas captured the human weakness and confusion so well.

if you're not familiar with Passionsjustlikemine then you're probably not a Morrissey/Smiths fan… The site owner chose to close their site down today. This makes me so sad, you see, PJLM was known for their in depth Moz tour, lyrics, discography, bootlegs, quotes… and much more.
You were good in your time and I thank you.

Managers of EPA's influential Integrated Risk Information System (IRIS) chemical hazard assessment program are proposing to prioritize and reduce the number of ongoing assessments that staff is handling by more than half in order to increase the program's efficiency and output and meet the 23-month goal for completing the studies set by Administrator Lisa Jackson.
Ken Olden, the new director of EPA's National Center for Environmental Assessment, which oversees the program, told members of the National Academies' Board on Environmental Studies & Toxicology (BEST) Dec. 6 that he intends to reduce the number of assessments underway from the existing 50 to 60 assessments to closer to 20.
"We've got between 50 and 60 assessments underway . . . We should be working on about 20 . . . 50 to 60 is just too many," he told BEST.
He said that he sees prioritizing the assessments and reducing the number underway as important to reducing the amount of time it takes agency staff to complete an assessment. Olden explained that he and IRIS management will be speaking with the directors of the EPA programs that requested each assessment to "ask them if they really need" a particular assessment right now, he said.
He said he hopes that after speaking with IRIS' clients, he and IRIS managers can prioritize the chemicals and reduce the number of assessments under way.
EPA programs and offices nominate chemicals to the IRIS program for assessment, with the goal of having the best human health hazard information about an environmental contaminant they anticipate needing to make a decision or draft a rule upon in the future. But because the assessments have often taken IRIS so long to produce, some chemicals have fallen from the agency's agenda.
In recent years, IRIS chemical managers have on at least one occasion been unable to determine which program office requested an IRIS assessment, or why. In the case of another assessment, the IRIS review became less of a priority because industry greatly reduced the chemical's production.
IRIS assessments are important in part because they often form the basis for agency rules and other decisions. They are also referenced and relied upon by state and local agencies around the world.
But the lengthy delays of some controversial IRIS assessments, such as arsenic, dioxin and formaldehyde, have spanned decades. Many stakeholders, within the agency as well EPA advisors, environmentalists and public health activists, have long pressed IRIS staff to hasten their process.
In 2009, the Government Accountability Office (GAO) listed the IRIS program among its high-risk government programs because it concluded that the process was so lengthy that assessments are obsolete upon publication.
Shortly after arriving at EPA, Jackson unveiled a new process for developing the assessments, with a goal of completing each within 23 months.
But as EPA has worked to speed assessments, it has drawn concerns from Congress industry groups that the agency is rushing to judgment and is not carefully considering uncertain science. They succeeded in forcing EPA to proceed with a programmatic and scientific review by the National Research Council that is not expected to be completed before spring 2014.
Pending IRIS Assessments
So far, no IRIS assessment has been completed in the 23-month timetable set by Jackson. But Olden, who took the helm in July, is vowing that it will happen under his watch.
"We are going to produce at least some assessments within 23 months. I think most of the things [necessary] to do this are within our control," he told the BEST board members, citing as an example the need to "align our staff."
Olden noted that he has other goals for improving the IRIS program, including several that he has proposed over the past few months, including making the program transparent, and its assessments consistent. He is also planning to have public workshops at the start of each assessment to discuss issues relevant to that chemical, a plan that industry has welcomed.
The agency is moving towards its first such public meeting, to discuss the long-ongoing assessment of inorganic arsenic (iAs). A Jan. 8-9 public workshop to discuss that assessment and relevant issues has been scheduled in Research Triangle Park, NC, according to Dec. 6 Federal Register notice.
The workshop "is designed to inform the planning for EPA's toxicological review of chronic exposure to iAs (cancer and noncancer effects) . . ." according to the notice. "Workshop participants will be asked to highlight significant new and emerging research, discuss methods for evaluating literature, identify critical research issues (including mode of action) that may impact the toxicological review, and discuss approaches for dose-response."
Olden has also sought public comments on how to improve the program, and he noted that one topic he has received many comments upon the peer review process for the assessments. In response, he noted that EPA's Science Advisory Board (SAB) is putting together a standing subcommittee tasked with reviewing IRIS assessments. And he said he aims to "ensure contractor peer reviews are done a lot more like [SAB reviews]."
In the past, these types of have reviews have sometimes been questioned because they do not have institutional knowledge about the IRIS program like a standing panel would, and the contractor panels are generally less rigorous. "I hope to produce a lot more [assessments] than [the SAB standing panel] can review," Olden told the BEST members. "They say they can do about six per year." We'd like to release "12 to 20" per year.
Industry's IRIS Priorities
Meanwhile, the chemical industry is also outlining its priorities for changes to IRIS. In a recent letter to Olden, the American Chemistry Council (ACC) reiterated its calls for a weight of evidence system for evaluating scientific studies and an ombudsman to oversee agency responses to peer reviews.
The group's Nov. 30 letter follows a public meeting at EPA last month, where Olden outlined some ideas for advancing and improving the IRIS. Olden also sought public suggestions on ways to improve the oft-maligned IRIS program.
Olden's appointment last summer has garnered optimistic reviews from long-time IRIS critics, including industry and other agencies, who appreciate Olden's open approach. Olden met with a number of industry groups and representatives of federal agencies in the fall. But some have also warned that while they find the change in attitude in IRIS' top ranks refreshing, they are waiting to see Olden's promised changes take effect.
"We are encouraged, but there remain many important issues to be addressed and there is a long way to go to implement the permanent changes needed to modernize IRIS," writes David Fischer, senior director of ACC's Chemical Products and Technology Division.
"ACC strongly believes that it is necessary for IRIS to foster early stakeholder engagement, apply systematic approaches to data evaluation, and adopt a consistent weight of evidence framework using the best available science to integrate study results to establish mode of action and cause and effect," Fischer writes. "This must be coupled with meaningful public comment and objective peer review processes, which include an 'honest broker' to ensure that scientifically-justified responses and revisions are made to fully address stakeholder and peer review comments."
ACC's wish-list is not new; the industry group has been pushing EPA for years to adopt a weight of evidence framework for use in its IRIS assessments, an issue bolstered by BEST's review of EPA's draft IRIS assessment of formaldehyde. The report included an additional chapter critical of the IRIS program generally, particularly with how it reached its conclusions and explained them.

Kathleen Sandoval isn't just the first lady of Nevada, she also works to keep kids safe and families together - at the Children's Cabinet which is supporting a nationwide movement Wednesday.
Everyone will be wearing denim.
This comes after an Italian supreme court overturned a man's rape conviction because the young woman was wearing jeans.
They ruled it impossible to take off jeans without her help. The court ruled the sex was consensual. "As a way to revolt, the women including professionals, judges and went and put on denim jeans to represent that it doesn't matter what you're wearing... nobody deserves to be sexually assaulted."
Mrs. Sandoval, along with Lauren Denison of the Bring Bri Justice Foundation and Keli Wilson who founded the public safety website alertid.com are teaming up to create awareness. "Nobody deserves to be sexually assaulted. It's huge in our nation. Every two minutes someone is sexually assaulted, according to statistics."
So often, victims of sex crimes feel alone. "Because there's such a stigma about how embarrassing it is... or they deserved it... horrible things. No one should be victimized," says Lauren.
The ladies hope to mobilize the masses Wednesday by spreading the word.
Keli posted the call to action on alertid.com, which is more than 15,000 members strong. "So we're really excited to be part of promoting denim day for awareness and prevention of sexual assault."
And Governor Brian Sandoval sent out an email, encouraging all state workers to join him in wearing denim Wednesday as well.
Millions of Americans are expected to participate in Denim Day tomorrow.
And in light of this campaign, Kathleen Sandoval also wants to remind everyone about the "Safe Place" program coordinated by the Children's Cabinet.
If a child feels threatened in any way, go to any McDonald's or any RTC bus for help. You can also call toll-free at 1-800-536-4588.

Awesome trigger. Very clean break. I will be ordering another
UNBEATABLE trigger for the price. Nice crisp break, NO creep and it breaks right around 3 - 4 lbs. Oh yeah, the reset is nice and short also! Thanks Sportsman's Guide!
Just can't say enough good things about it. Easy install, from a seven pound pull to three. Just ordered another one. Also the C clips have been replaced with screws, nice upgrade.
This is really a good and quick change. It took me longer to remove & replace the grip & safety selector than to set the CMC. Great job guys... and SMG.
Easy install and zero trigger play. Have not shot it yet but from dry firing it feels like a new gun.
I have purchased a few of these and have found that the flat trigger vs the curved is Extremely effective and works well in any AR platform and use, will fire military and match ammo with no issues.

An Unofficial Bucketlist:
No. Undecided - Go bungee jumping. Jump off a bridge.. headfirst :)
When I was in my third year high school, my English teacher made us read a story about an amateur's first time to go bungee jumping. I didn't care much and just read it unlike my other classmates who complained a lot (at the back of the teacher of course! haha). My teacher even made us watch a clip of bungee jumping. Since then, I've always wanted to try bungee jumping.
I want to experience jumping off a bridge and diving headfirst. I'm not suicidal, mind you. I just want to experience that would be exhilarating moment. As I watch clips of bungee jumping, I always thought it is like flying. Only downhill, but still, it's the same.
Someday, I will. Before I die, I really will. :)
I created this blog to post about my dreams so it's supposed to contain positive things yet I posted negatives. Anyway, I'm restoring its original essence. Need to manage it now.
From this day forward, this blog will contain what I said above. And if any of you wants to unfollow, you're all very welcome to do so. Actually, I appreciate all of you (my followers I mean) but I really wouldn't care much if you will unfollow. After all, I blog to express not to collect followers.
Thanks Y'all! :D
Strip all lies and take my hand
Let's conquer this misery in one dive
Doubts and fears engulfs my heart
But too occupied of that awaiting life
I don't have those two literal device
All I have are wishes and dreams
I don't have any time to philosophize
I just need to set out these invisible wings
Never too strong, never too weak
Sometimes, just barely hanging on
Sometimes, tired enough to seek
But mostly on the top of the world
This coldness the numbs my skin
Is the very thing that lifts me high
So can I hate the source of my dream?
When it's the only hope for me to fly
But these wings are caged by limitations
So I just have to stay alive and survive
I know soon I'll overcome this depression
'Til then, my winged start of life.
It sucks to be alone so better not hate it.
There's this bridge in our community or city of whatever you may call it, that I am really fond of. I like it especially at night when lights from lampshades and houses are reflected on the river. It always gives this magical glow or something. Don't get me wrong, most people think that it's just ordinary and I think it really is but I have a different view on it. It may seem ordinary to other people but I always find it overwhelming to look at.
I had been there once, beside the bridge I mean. I even sat on one of those railings or whatever they call it. It was sunset by that time. I was with my former classmates. It feels overwhelming to be there. As what Charlie said, "and in that moment, I swear we were infinite." Yea, I felt infinite at that time.
So, silly as it may seem, someday, I want to just sit there and watch the sun set and moon rise. I want to be alone to marvel the beauty but I think it would be nice if someone who means a lot to me share that experience with me.

Kate Middleton has been Royal for three years now, but you'd think she just started the job yesterday. The reason? She's lacking in one very important area when it comes to her official duties. While she's created a lot of buzz with her style, the royal birth last year, and the trips she takes with Prince William, you really don't hear much about her passions, her causes, or her efforts to make a world a better place.
But when it comes to being the next great princess, the Duchess might want to take a cue from the late Princess Diana.
While Lady Di's charitable work was well-documented in the media, it seems as though Kate Middleton's causes are taking a back seat to more frivolous headlines. But this isn't totally her fault, of course, as her fans are the ones causing mass hysteria over her latest Jenny Packham dresses. Still, it's more like "much ado about nothing" when it comes to the Duchess and her charities.
Most recently, Middleton visited the Blessed Sacrament School in north London to meet with project coordinators and teachers before joining in on a private counseling session. But do we know what her opinions are on the matter? Not really. For some though, it seems like Middleton isn't putting much effort into her charity work. Rarely do we hear her speak about it, and when she does, it usually takes a back seat to her "What She Wore" headlines. In comparison, there is no doubt in anyone's mind that Princess Diana was extremely passionate about her causes. She spoke volumes when it came to AIDS awareness, and even though Diana could have quit her charitable work after she divorced Prince Charles, she embraced them further with a renewed passion.
Princess Diana's support for AIDS victims and sufferers along with speeches about anti-landmine awareness was one of the greatest legacies she left behind. I mean, there's a good reason why she was named the "Princess of Hearts," right? So far, Kate Middleton isn't convincing us that she's doing any of the same. Girlfriend needs to step up her game, big time.
Do you think Kate Middleton needs to work on better convincing us that she's passionate about her charitable causes?

Yes she's lazy. Waity Katie hardly bothers to do anything, and it's been what, almost four years ? Diana did more in her first year as a royal and was always deeply involved in giving back. Despite raising two boys. In the UK many refer to William and Kate as "Willnot and Cannot"....that is from the public, at their own so-called "royal" Willy and Waity. Speaks volumes when their own countrymen label them like that.
I would say Waity Katie also fails at having the dignity and maturity she is expected to have. For years all the ridiculous dress in the wind incidents, going without panties.....it amazes me that Waity Kate is still allowed around other people's children with her nasty habits. The exhibitionist is a bit too kinky to be around innocent children. Back when they visited Calgary,Canada Kate flashed a child cancer victim right on the tarmac. And there are always other children around when she has her "incidents". Waity Katie needs a psychiatrist. I agree, she's lazy and needs to do a lot more charity, but the way she likes to display her rear end in public seems like a more concerning issue.
just leave kate along she is doing a wonderfull job and stop comparing her with diana
she doesnt stand a chance bless her it took our beloved diana to feel her way so just llet kate do the same thing kate is doing very well

Q&A: Is it okay that I am 14 weeks pregnant and haven't gained any weight?
I'm 14 weeks pregnant and haven't gained any noticeable weight. Is this something I should worry about? I've had several ultrasounds that have shown the baby is growing. The last one was just before 12 weeks.
Unless you're throwing up everything, it's got to be going somewhere. Your baby takes what he or she needs and leaves the rest for you, so if the baby's growing just fine, don't worry about it. You'll laugh at yourself when you hit the second trimester and remember you were worried about not gaining any weight.

Photo by Aimee GiesLast week, the deadline passed for Congress to raise objections to the US Navy's policy change regarding the assignment of women to submarines. Now it's official: Yet another gender-based barrier has bitten the dust.
It's been a long road. From accommodating pregnancy (this 1979 Time magazine article is a hoot 30 years later) to women serving in combat roles, integrating women into the military has been a battle, pun intended.
As a woman who served in the military -- at the Pentagon, in fact, among many of the top decision-makers and highest-ranking members of all four armed services -- I take great pride in the expanding role of women in our nation's defense:
"Today military women serve in all jobs and assignments stateside and overseas except in direct ground combat and in units with a high probability of direct enemy contact. They are also prohibited from serving in Special Forces and aboard submarines. There are currently an estimated 344,500 women in the armed forces; on Active Duty, in the National Guard and in the Reserves. They serve in every enlisted rank, and in the officer corps, all but the four-star general/flag officer rank."
I support the integration of women into military units just as I support the integration of gays or any other group that has faced cultural opposition. However, when it comes to combat roles, I hold a stricter -- and less feminist, some might say -- view on physical qualifications, and it has nothing to do with whether a service member has a penis or a vagina.
In short, if a woman can't meet the same physical standards that men must meet, she shouldn't serve in the same role. Period. It's not about denying women an opportunity; it's about getting the job done.
Think about it: If your home were on fire and a female firefighter responded but wasn't physically able to rescue your family, wouldn't you rather have a firefighter -- male or female -- who could get you out of there safely?
Likewise, on the battlefield, it's crucial that every service member -- male and female -- be physically able to fulfill their duties. It's not simply a matter of physical fitness, but as essential to military readiness as weapons and supplies.
The barriers to women serving on subs have been primarily cultural, with minor logistical elements (such as separate facilities and sleeping quarters), and the Navy and Congress made the right decision. But as the Army and Marine Corps consider integrating women into ground combat roles, they must ensure that the same rigorous physical standards remain in place for men and women, for the sake of the mission.
If they pass the same rigorous tests the men do, though, shouldn't they qualify for the same opportunities? I know some pretty tough and strong women. Me? I don't have the endurance to do the course at Quantico lol. But if a woman could and did, and paced with the men, maybe even ahead of some, does that not reveal the same capability?
I know female firefighters have to run the same courses and tests, for example, and people are assigned positions base don their strengths.
IMHO if you can't do it -- male or female -- you shouldn't qualify. But if you can? You should.
That's what I hear you saying, anyway, right? Just keeping the same standards and qualifying both based on that.
That said, I do believe in differences between men and women. I believe that women's strengths need to be better appreciated and employed at large.
I have no problem with this sort of qualification and neither do the courts. Bona fide occupational qualifications -- being Jewish to teach in a shul, being able to carry X pounds for Y distance as an emergency responder, being able to converse in Spanish to fulfill 911 operator duties, or needing a female model to do an ad for bras -- are fine.
What is NOT fine is that for far too long, having XX instead of XY forestalled the opportunity to even try to fulfill a BFOQ. Should women be allowed to serve on subs? Yes, if they can meet the physical and emotional standards required, provided those standards are truly necessary to operate the boat.
Julie, that's exactly what I'm saying. I don't believe in cultural barriers to opportunities, but I think it's important to acknowledge physical limitations. Such limitations exist among both men and women - that is, not every guy is going to be able to physically fulfill combat duties.
ITA, Melissa. Too often, discrimination masquerades as qualification (and vice versa).
Being a submariner isn't about passing a physical test. I have known submariners that aren't that strong it becomes a team effort. I know submariners that aren't that smart, again it becomes a team effort. It is about the stress of life under the water for months at a time. Submariners do not need added stress of pheromones. They don't need sex clouding their mind. Whether or not they are having sex they are not submitted to the pheromones that women put off allowing them to be free of that instinctual stress. With women on board they will have atleast a week out of the month where a female is in heat. It is an added stress that could become deadly. What happens when they are doing a battery charge and the BCEF is flirting with girl while she is ovaluting instead of watching hydrogen levels? Don't tell me this won't happen if there is professionalism, because I gaurantee you once someone recieves their dolphins they are a professional submariner but they are still people. They still have urges, especially three months out on deployment. This is not about women being inferior, this is about one of the most dangerous professions that people are doing by choice.
we also have to remember that as women our bofies abilities change dramatically with life events such as childbirth. So if you went on leave to have a baby would your physical abilities be re-evaluated? I am old fashioned in my own life. I am content to stay home and keep my family cared for, the laundry done and dinner on the table. I believe this is just as much of a carreer choice as any. And if i wasn't capable of caring for a family I would hope someone would ban me from this too. I certainly am incapable of serving in the military. But more power to those who are able and make that choice. Physical ability is by far the most important factor in deciding who serves where.
Ovulating instead of watching hydrogen levels? Are you f*cking kidding me? Hell yes, it's a profession. And women in the military are professionals, just as much as men are. Glad I never served with any misogynists like you, Tim.
Your lack of concern for how dangerous a submarine is shows how ignorant you are on the situation. Yes when women are ovulating guys hormones go into overdrive. Do you doubt this? This isn't like being on a surface ship where you can walk topside and get some air and clear your mind. You stand watch, do pm's, sleep, and then repeat. It isn't about men being better than women, it isn't about who can be more professional. I like how you pinpointed one point and didn't even think about it. I am not kidding. How fast does it take for a battery well to fill up with hydrogen levels that become explosive enough to blow up the whole sub during a battery charge? Don't know well figure it out. If you had any kind of clue about sub life you would know that men and women don't mix in that atmospere. I know this from watching my fellow sailors interact with females on base while we were in the shipyard. It was not professional and yes the guys only paid attention to the females. So lie to yourself but please don't lie to others.
Sounds like subs should be manned by females only, since men are so easily distracted from their duties.
Way to stand up for all men and their ability to maintain a professional working relationship with a woman and control themselves, there, Tim.
