South Carolina Stops the Romney Juggernaut in Its Tracks [Updated]
Newt Gingrich was declared the winner as soon as the polls closed.

Skip to content, or skip to search.
Newt Gingrich was declared the winner as soon as the polls closed.
With a South Carolina win looking likely, Newt's aircraft carrier rally last night hit all the Gingrichian sweet spots.
Each candidate comments on those elusive returns.
Obama seeks to clear the air about his energy record.
Thanks for the memories.
Gingrich and Santorum have run lackluster South Carolina campaigns. Can they break through against Mitt?
Santorum began the testy back-and-forth by calling Romney out for evading a question.
The candidate's concession speech showed why he won't be the GOP's standard-bearer against Obama.
After putting all his chips on New Hampshire, Huntsman folds.
Thirty minutes of Romney personally killing jobs to increase his personal wealth.
Mitt is projected to finish with a double-digit victory.
Setting the over-under at 36 percent.
His record is ... meh.
The paper also had some unkind words for Romney.
T-Paw's dark night of the soul.
What a way to get this rumble started!
Romney barely edged out Santorum for the win, while Rick Perry more or less dropped out.
But he had kind words for Rick Santorum.

About John Talbot
John Talbot, 1st Earl of Shrewsbury and 1st Earl of Waterford KG (1384/1387 Blakemere, Shropshire – 17 July 1453 Castillon, France), known as "Old Talbot" was an important English military commander during the Hundred Years' War, as well as the only Lancastrian Constable of France.
He was descended from Richard Talbot, a tenant in 1086 of Walter Giffard at Woburn and Battledsen in Bedfordshire. The Talbot family were vassals of the Giffards in Normandy.[1] Hugh Talbot, probably his son, made a grant to Beaubec Abbey, confirmed by his son Richard Talbot in 1153. This Richard (d. 1175) is listed in 1166 as holding three fees of the Honour of Giffard in Buckinghamshire. He also held a fee at Linton in Herefordshire, for which his son Gilbert Talbot (d. 1231) obtained a fresh charter in 1190.[2] Gilbert's grandson Gilbert (d. 1274) married Gwenlynn Mechyll. Their son Sir Richard Talbot held the manor of Eccleswall in Herefordshire in right of his wife Sarah, sister of William de Beauchamp, 9th Earl of Warwick. In 1331 Richard's son Gilbert Talbot (1276–1346) was summoned to Parliament, which is considered evidence of his baronial status - see Baron Talbot.[3] Gilbert's son Richard married Elizabeth Comyn, bringing with her the inheritance of Goodrich Castle in Herefordshire.
John Talbot was second son of Richard Talbot, 4th Baron Talbot, by Ankaret le Strange, 7th Baroness Strange of Blackmere. His younger brother Richard became Archbishop of Dublin and Lord Chancellor of Ireland and one of the most influential Irish statesmen of his time.
His father died in 1396 when Talbot was just nine years old, and so it was Ankaret's second husband, Thomas Neville, Lord Furnival, who became the major influence in his early life. The marriage also gave the opportunity of a title for her second son as Neville had no sons with the title going through his eldest daughter Maud.[4] Who (Maude was his step-sister) would become John's 1st wife.
First marriage
Talbot was married before 12 March 1407 to Maud Neville, 6th Baroness Furnivall, daughter and heiress of Thomas Neville, 5th Baron Furnivall, the son of John Neville, 3rd Baron Neville de Raby. He was summoned to Parliament in her right from 1409.
The couple are thought to have four children:
- Thomas Talbot (19 June 1416 Finglas, Ireland - 10 August 1416)
- John Talbot, 2nd Earl of Shrewsbury (c. 1417 – 11 July 1460)
- Sir Christopher Talbot (1419–10 August 1443),
- Lady Joan Talbot (c 1422), married James Berkeley, 1st Baron Berkeley.
In 1421 by the death of his niece he acquired the Baronies of Talbot and Strange. His first wife, Maud died on 31 May 1422. It has been suggested as an indirect result of giving birth to daughter Joan, although due to a lack of evidence of her life before her marriage to Lord Berkeley has even led to a theory that she was actually Talbot's daughter-in-law through marriage to Sir Christopher Talbot.
Second marriage
On 6 September 1425, he married Lady Margaret Beauchamp, eldest daughter of Richard de Beauchamp, 13th Earl of Warwick and Elizabeth de Berkeley in the chapel at Warwick Castle. They had five children:
- John Talbot, 1st Viscount Lisle (1426 – 17 July 1453)
- Sir Louis Talbot (c 1429-1458)
- Sir Humphrey Talbot (before 1434 – c. 1492)
- Lady Eleanor Talbot (c February/March 1436 - 30 June 1468) married to Sir Thomas Butler and mistress to King Edward IV.
- Lady Elizabeth Talbot (c December 1442/January 1443). She married John de Mowbray, 4th Duke of Norfolk.
Talbot is known to have had at least one illegitimate child, Henry. He may have served in France with his father as it is known that a bastard son of the Earl of Shrewsbury was captured by the Dauphin on August 14, 1443.[5]
Early career
From 1404 to 1413 he served with his elder brother Gilbert in the Welsh war or the rebellion of Owain Glyndŵr. Then for five years from February 1414 he was Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, where he did some fighting. He had a dispute with the Earl of Ormonde and Lord Grey of Ruthin over the inheritance for the honour of Wexford which he held.[6] Complaints were made against him both for harsh government in Ireland and for violence in Herefordshire. The dispute with the Earl of Ormonde escalated into a long -running feud between Shrewsbury and his brother the Archbishop of Dublin on the one hand and the Butler family on the other and their allies the Berkeleys. The feud reached its height in the 1440s when both sides were reprimanded by the Privy Council for weakening English rule in Ireland. Friendly relations were finally achieved by the marriage of Shrewsbury's son and heir to Ormonde's daughter.[7]
From 1420 to 1424 he served in France, apart from a brief return at the end of the first year to organise the festivities of celebrating the coronation of Catherine of France, the bride of Henry V.[8]
He returned to France in May 1421 and took part in the Battle of Verneuil on 17 August 1424 earning him the Order of the Garter.
In 1425, he was lieutenant again for a short time in Ireland; he served again in 1446-7.
Service in France
So far his career was that of a turbulent Marcher Lord, employed in posts where a rough hand was useful. In 1427 he went again to France, where he fought alongside the Duke of Bedford and the Earl of Warwick with distinction in Maine and at the Siege of Orléans. He fought at the Battle of Patay on 18 June 1429 where he was captured and held prisoner for four years.
He was released in exchange for the French leader Jean Poton de Xaintrailles and returned to England in May 1433. He stayed until July when he returned to France under the Earl of Somerset.[9]
Talbot was a daring and aggressive soldier, perhaps the most audacious captain of the age. He and his forces were ever ready to retake a town and to meet a French advance. His trademark was rapid aggressive attacks. He was rewarded by being appointed governor and lieutenant general in France and Normandy and, in 1434, the Duke of Bedford made him Count of Clermont.
In January 1436, he led a small force including Kyriell and routed La Hire and Xaintrailles at Ry near Rouen. The following year at Crotoy, after a daring passage of the Somme, he put a numerous Burgundian force to flight. In December 1439, following a surprise flank attack on their camp, he dispersed the 6000 strong army of the Constable Richemont, and the following year he retook Harfleur. In 1441, he pursued the French army four times over the Seine and Oise rivers in an unavailing attempt to bring it to battle.
Lord Shrewsbury
Around February 1442, Talbot returned to England to request urgent reinforcements for the Duke of York in Normandy. In March, under king's orders, ships were requisitioned for this purpose with Talbot himself responsible for assembling ships from the Port of London and from Sandwich.[10]
On Whit Sunday, May 20, Henry VI awarded him the title of Comes Salopie, translated as Earl of Shropshire but despite this he popularly became Earl of Shrewsbury. Just five days later, with the requested re-inforcements, Talbot returned to France where in June they mustered at Harfleur. During that time, he met his six-old year daughter Eleanor for the first time and almost certainly left the newly created Countess Margaret pregnant with another child.[11]
In June 1443, Talbot again returned to England on behalf of the Duke of York to plead for reinforcements, but this time the English Council refused, instead sending a separate force under Shrewsbury's brother-in-law, Edmund Beaufort. His son, Sir Christoper stayed in England where shortly afterwards he was murdered with a lance at the age of 23 by one of his own men, Griffin Vachan of Treflidian on August 10 at Cawce, County Salop.[12]
The English Achilles
He was appointed in 1445 by Henry VI (as king of France) as Constable of France. Taken hostage at Rouen in 1449 he promised never to wear armour against the French King again, and he was true to his word. However, though he did not personally fight, he continued to command English forces against the French. He was defeated and killed in 1453 at the Battle of Castillon near Bordeaux, which effectively ended English rule in the duchy of Aquitaine, a principal cause of the Hundred Years War. His heart was buried in the doorway of St Alkmund's Church, Whitchurch, Shropshire.[13]
The victorious French generals raised a monument to Talbot on the field called Notre Dame de Talbot. And the French Chroniclers paid him handsome tribute:
"Such was the end of this famous and renowned English leader who for so long had been one of the most formidable thorns in the side of the French, who regarded him with terror and dismay" - Matthew d'Escourcy
Although Talbot is generally remembered as a great soldier, some have raised doubts as to his generalship. In particular, charges of rashness have been raised against him. Speed and aggression were key elements in granting success in medieval war, and Talbot's numerical inferiority necessitated surprise. Furthermore, he was often in the position of trying to force battle on unwilling opponents. At his defeat at Patay in 1429 he was advised not to fight there by Sir John Fastolf, who was subsequently blamed for the debacle, but the French, inspired by Joan of Arc, showed unprecedented fighting spirit - usually they approached an English position with great circumspection. The charge of rashness is perhaps more justifiable at Castillon where Talbot, misled by false reports of a French retreat, attacked their entrenched camp frontally - facing wheel to wheel artillery and a 6 to 1 inferiority in numbers.
Cultural influence
He is portrayed heroically in Shakespeare's Henry VI, Part 1: "Valiant Lord Talbot, Earl of Shrewsbury, Created, for his rare success in arms". Talbot's failures are all blamed on Fastolf and feuding factions in the English court. Thomas Nashe, commenting on the play in his booklet Pierce Penniless, stated that Talbot's example was inspiring Englishman anew, two centuries after his death,
How would it have joyed brave Talbot, the terror of the French, to think that after he had lain two hundred years in his tomb, he should triumph again on the stage, and have his bones new embalmed with the tears of ten thousand spectators at least (at several times) who in the tragedian that represents his person imagine they behold him fresh bleeding. I will defend it against any collian or clubfisted usurer of them all, there is no immortality can be given a man on earth like unto plays.
John Talbot is shown as a featured character in Koei's video game Bladestorm: The Hundred Years' War, appearing as the left-arm of Edward, the Black Prince, in which he assists the former and the respective flag of England throughout his many portrayals.
Talbot appears as one of the primary antagonists in the PSP game Jeanne d'Arc.

This surname TALBOT was the name of an English family, descended from Richard de Talbot, named in the Domesday Book, and from Gilbert (died 1346) the first baron. The Earl of Shrewsbury and Talbot is the premier earl on the Rolls of England and Ireland, and hereditary lord steward of Ireland. The Lords Talbot de Malahide represent a family in Ireland which settled there in 1167. Surnames as we know them today were first assumed in Europe from the 11th to the 15th Century. They were not in use in England or in Scotland before the Norman Conquest, and were first found in the Domesday Book. The employment in the use of a second name was a custom that was first introduced from the Normans. They themselves had not long before adopted them. It became, in course of time, a mark of gentler blood, and it was deemed a disgrace for gentlemen to have but one single name, as the meaner sort had. It was not until the reign of Edward II (1307-1327) it became general practice amongst all people. It was a baptismal name 'the son of Talbut or Talbott'. The name was brought into England in the wake of the Norman Conquest of 1066. Early records of the name mention Richard Talebot, listed as a tenant in the Domesday Book of 1086. Ricardus Talebot was documented during the reign of Henry II (1154-1180). Talebot de Hadfield, ibid. Willelmus Talbot of Yorkshire was listed in the Yorkshire Poll Tax of 1379. John Hedlea married Susanna Talbott at Westminster, London in the year of 1580. The name also applied to one with a Normandy accent, a bandit, one who blacked their faces (a lampblack) to avoid recognition. At first the coat of arms was a practical matter which served a function on the battlefield and in tournaments. With his helmet covering his face, and armour encasing the knight from head to foot, the only means of identification for his followers, was the insignia painted on his shield and embroidered on his surcoat, the flowing and draped garment worn over the armour. The associated arms are recorded in Sir Bernard Burkes General Armory. Ulster King of Arms in 1884

We try to tank the demon as much as possible.
Im not tanking this fight as a dps warrior but im just looking for some information from some others that do.
Currently my raid has done pretty well as tonight we took Kalecgos and his demon sub 10% on 4 or 5 attempts so things generally seem to be working. One thing im concerned about is human Kalecgos. Apparently he produces a lot of threat, so much so that sometimes our tanks have trouble keeping the demon off him at times. Generally after eating a stun which stops them from producing threat. There were 1 or 2 attempts where we probably would have killed him but human Kalecgos died ending the encounter.
I guess my question is what exactly are you tanks doing 'inside' with the demon. Are you trying to keep him on you 100% of the time you are there, or are you 'taunt tanking' trying to minimize the incomming damage from the demon? His stun/attack thing + shadowbolts can end up being pretty strong burst damage so my guild has generally been trying to only tank him some of the time that we are in there.
Really we just need a little fine tuning before we kill him so im looking for little things here and there. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks.

In summary, TBC raiding is easy. 9/10 encounters can be summarized with 1 phrase. Stay out of the fucking fire.

3 tanks are enough usually. I heard you can do with 2 also.
Worlde - Prot Paladin
Darkworldie - Tank DW Frost DK
Uord - Prot Warrior
Huordie - Feral / Resto Druid
We use three tanks, and we tanked the demon as much as possible. If a tank missed a portal or there weren't any healers in there, naturally, he would go a little while being tanking by the human. But honestly, you need to tank him as much as possible. A little bit doesn't hurt, but if he dies, you're screwed.
Also, during the normal course of the fight, this is okay, BUT you absolutely HAVE to have a tank on him at the last 10% or he WILL die. They ensured there was no way to cheese that fight at the end. =/
We use 2 feral druids and 2 prot warriors; we tried the 3 tank method and it was a huge nightmare...how you could do that fight with 2 tanks total...lol.
My Armory (May be in PvP Gear)
Our kill actually had only two tanks towards the end. One of the tanks died around 40%.
Yeah, when we had 3 tanks, when one died it became really ugly. I mean I'm sure you could do this with 2 tanks but the healing would be really intense and, to be honest, learning and farming the fight with 4 tanks trivializes it lol.
My Armory (May be in PvP Gear)
the only thing that changes going from 3 tanks to 2 tanks is that sathrovarr will definitely be untanked for the 5-10 second transition period between the tanks. it actually works quite well, as long as tanks can keep sathrovarr fully tanked when they're actually on him, as human kalecgos dying would be your main concern.
There will be times where you'll taunt and get stunned, thus having kalecgos get aggro back. Just taunt back at your earliest convenience, save your Challenging shout for the dragon up top. One thing worth trying is waiting until he stuns kalecgos, then taunting.
We tank him a majority of the time, with 3 tanks (2 prot warriors, 1 feral). You can do it with 2, but there will be time where the human Kalecgos is tanking the demon... and at the last 10% he fades pretty quickly.
4 tanks is the easiest, 3 is the minimal if you want total control on every kill.
Have your tanks bring Free Action Potions, I use them over Ironshields on that fight just because it helps with avoiding the burst after a corrupting strike.

Waiting for Sathrovarr to stun Kalecgos is definitely a good idea, too.

Very creative twist!At first I thought this was going to be your typical "personality swap" type story. It is that but a bit more. The twist is on how the swaps happen and as well as the conditions (or rules).Read more
The characters (and yourself) will go through a rollercoaster of emotions and feelings which will push them away and bring them together. It's pretty crazy! You can't help but to wonder how you and your ...
Surprisingly Good and RefreshingThis anime, including the four episodes that comprise Kokoro Connect: Michi Random which for some reason isn't on crunchyroll, is very refreshing and worth the watch if you are interested in romance and slice of life. Unlike other anime in its genre it explores meaningful themes with each of the characters. Each character's personality seem realistic as well as their actions and responses even ...Read more

This show does an amazing job at showing the emotional growth between the main characters and how they have to help each other to overcome the many difficult situations they are faced. A perfect example of how a Slice of Life anime should be done. Highly recommend finding the last 4 episodes that aren't on Crunchyroll, as they close the series ...Read more

Tuff, Good-looking flying disc
posted 5 years ago
This is a very cool flying disc toy. Like all Ruffwear products, it is extremely well-made! It is harder than the floppy fabric frisbees, but not as hard as a regular people frisbee.
Pros: well-made, flies well
Cons: little harder-edge than floppy fabric frisbees

So, it's been two years now that James passed away. Honestly, I didn't feel sad throughout the day. I was just numb. Now I feel it, which is why I'm writing this.
I had a dream about him about a week ago. It was nice. It felt real. It just reminded me of the happy memories.
I do miss him, but I don't want to be sad anymore. I want to feel like he's at peace, so I can feel the same. I just don't think he is. How could he be? Someone murdered him & they were never caught. I would be furious. How can you take another human being's life? I just don't understand.
I haven't talked to his family in awhile. I distanced myself from them when I started dating my boyfriend. I don't know if they approve, so I didn't feel right taking to them anymore. I do miss them also.
I'll forever be grateful that I know what love is, because of him. I just wish I could say that to him.

A portion of Ponderosa Road is now lined with white barriers as a result of the car accident that killed two University High School students in October of 2013.
Neighbors say the street is known to students because of a bump at the top of the hill that many drivers use to catch air while speeding down the street. The bump is now referred to as the "Ponderosa Jump" and it is an area that was a problem even before the accident.
Many say the barriers put up in December have helped stop speeding, but more still needs to be done.
"I think they should do something more," said Jennifer Guoli who knows people in the neighborhood. "Barriers are nice and slow things down, but why did they have to wait until someone was killed to do something."
Neighbors say they had called police multiple times before the accident to report drivers using the jump.
Now that it is nearing road construction season, the county plans to survey the spot and come up with a more permanent solution. A survey team will decide whether or not to grind the pavement down to eliminate the jump this Spring or Summer.

Firefighters digging for survivors of mudslides in Brazil have found only bodies under a mountain of red earth and crushed lodgings after the country's worst such disaster which have killed at least 64 people in the south-east region.
At least 26 people died in the New Year's Day slide which buried a resort on the island of Ilha Grande, including the 18-year-old daughter of the couple who built the waterfront lodge at the foot of a cliffside covered with rainforest.
Officials said no foreigners were known to be among the dead and there were few details about those who died.
A torrent of mud tore a 1,000ft scar down the hill, pushing parts of the Pousada Sankay and three neighbouring houses into the sea shortly after guests had retired to their rooms following New Year's Eve celebrations.
Minutes earlier on the mainland, a torrent of reddish mud cascaded into the Carioca slum in the nearby coastal city of Angra dos Reis, killing at least 13 people and reducing rickety shacks to rubble.
The dual mudslides early on New Year's Day were triggered by 10in of rain which had drenched the region since Wednesday.
"We came to celebrate the New Year and then all this sadness happened," Fernanda de Oliveira, a witness to the mudslide on Ilha Grande, told the O Globo newspaper. Ms Oliveira was staying in a house beside the Pousada Sankay when she heard a rumble in the middle of the night.
"We couldn't see what was happening. It was raining hard and the water was leaking into our house," she said. "Suddenly, we saw people in the sea and we went down to rescue them. They were people staying in the pousada."
The lodge owners' daughter, Yumi Faraci, was apparently staying with friends she had invited for the holiday. Her parents, who were in another part of the building, survived, the woman's uncle, Antonio Faraci, told the G1 news website.
Nearly 80 other mudslides have been reported throughout the region in recent days. Together with flooding, they have killed at least 64 people - 39 on Ilha Grande and Angra dos Reis and another 22 in other parts of Rio de Janeiro state. Among the dead are toddlers and teenagers, a pregnant woman and many older people, said officials.

Chirripó National Park is located in the middle portion of the Talamanca Range of Costa Rica, approximately 30 km northeast from the city of San Isidro del General. It protects a number of important ecosystems on the Costa Rican Pacific slope and is notable for including the largest extension of páramo vegetation in the country. Because of these conditions, the Chirripó National Park preserves a number of plants, animals, fungi and insects, some of which are under study by the scientific community. It is named for Cerro Chirripó, at 3820m (12,538 ft), the highest mountain in Costa Rica.
With a particular climate that includes only two seasons, a dry one approximately from December to April and a wet one from May to November, this national park is among the most exciting ones for locals and tourists from around the World. This is based on the fact that in order to get to the summit (Cerro Chirripó) the visitor has to walk along a 16 km uphill trail from the town of San Gerardo de Rivas to the park ranger's refuge in the Los Crestones sector and save energies for the next 5 km walk from here to the peak. Considering that Chirripó is the 38th most prominent peak in the world, this journey is a once in lifetime experience for most tourists.
This national park encompasses parts of three Provinces in Costa Rica - San Jose, Limón and Cartago, and contains five different ecosystems according to the Holdridge life zone classification system , being these: lowland tropical wet forest, premontane tropical wet forest, lower montane wet forest, montane wet forest and subalpine wet forest (paramo).

Started with a traditional phone interviews where they stressed low pay. However, the position sounded like a potential fit and I continued to live interviews. In peer interviews I learned that they usually hire from within and that they had a strong internal candidate.
By this point in the interview it seemed unlikely that they needed someone with my qualifications, so when very, very young HR managers showed up I asked all the traditional questions for practice- They were not able to answer the majority of my questions, but it was clear that they really were looking for cheap- no benefits that would have justified the low salary.

Servings: 4 servings
Prep Time: 5 min
Cook Time: 14 min
Difficulty: Easy
oil, for frying
4 soft-shell crabs
2 cup white cornmeal
1 salt
freshly ground black pepper to taste
Preheat frying oil to 350 degrees F.
Parboil crabs for 10 minutes. Roll in cornmeal mixed with salt and pepper.
Fry until golden brown for about 2 to 4 minutes.
Hey Paul I am from Maryland and I grew eating a family created recipe called Fried Hard Crabs and Gravy . My mom would have the crab man break the backs off the crabs live saving the inside of the shell. She then clean the gills or as we called them the deadmans. Then using the same flour mixture as used for fried chicken she would flour those crabs and fry them like she fried chicken. Then in a dutch oven she would create a gravy using flour leftover grease from frying the crabs and the inside of the backs of the crab shell. then she returned the fried crabs back into the dutch oven to smother with the gravy. While the crabs smothered she would make hot yeast rolls. There is nothing better then eating a plate of Fried Hard Crabs and Gravy with a hot roll to dip and dunk in the gravy. A quick story the best man from my wedding was dying from cancer. One thing he requested before he left this earth was to sample my mothers famous crabs and gravy. My mother granted that request he was so over taken by this dish that he has survied cancer and became a Pastor . Bless Your Heart, Sara Reid

On Paula's show, she mentions that her grandmother fried crabs like this, though she was not aware of many other people who used the same method. My mother did it in a similar way on the eastern shore of Mobile Bay in Jubilee City! Rosemary

Securaplane expands into Oro Valley, Arizona in 2013
TUCSON, Ariz., Nov. 1, 2013 /PRNewswire-iReach/ -- Securaplane Technologies, a leading supplier of avionics products for business, commercial and military aircraft including airborne video cameras, security systems, emergency and main ship batteries, battery chargers, inverters and wireless control systems, will move into a newly-constructed facility in Oro Valley's Innovation Park in December, 2013. Securaplane's continued strong market growth has made it necessary to increase the size of its operations to support production programs for business jet, air transport, rotorcraft and military customers.
At its new location, Securaplane will be among other world-class leaders such as Sanofi and the Roche Group's Ventana Medical Systems. "Securaplane is a welcome addition to Innovation Park, which is fast-becoming a hub for bioscience and hi-tech industries," said Mayor Satish Hiremath. "We're also proud to announce that Securaplane will be the first business to benefit from the newly-established Economic Expansion Zone." The Economic Expansion Zone, which Oro Valley Town Council approved on October 3, 2012, is an overlay district that streamlines the process and reduces the time required to establish or expand a business in that area.
Shubhayu Chakraborty, President, Securaplane Technologies, commented: "This is an exciting time for us. The aviation industry is witnessing a period of prolonged, favorable growth, with Securaplane beating industry trends. We are delighted to be able to accommodate this expansion within Oro Valley's Innovation Park – a beautiful setting that will help us to continue to recruit and retain top talent. The Town of Oro Valley has fostered a spirit of partnership with Securaplane from day one, so I am confident that we will be able to execute this project flawlessly."
Securaplane is an operating subsidiary of Meggitt PLC. Headquartered in the United Kingdom, Meggitt PLC is an international group operating in North America, Europe, and Asia. Known for its specialized extreme environment engineering, Meggitt is a world leader in aerospace, defense and energy markets.

Crackdowns on illegal immigrants and other law enforcement efforts are driving gangs out of Northern Virginia and into Maryland and the District, a report released Monday concluded.
"Many gang members from Northern Virginia are moving or driving to Prince George's and other Maryland counties, into the District of Columbia or further south and west into Virginia to avoid dealing with police departments that are unrelenting in their efforts to keep gangs under control," authorities wrote in the Northern Virginia Regional Gang Task Force report.
The report said the task force's success is the result of Virginia law enforcement's use of anti-gang policing measures, including the referring of suspected illegal immigrants to federal authorities. Since the task force was created in 2003, it has arrested 952 gang members, more than 40 percent of whom were illegal immigrants, the report said.
Northern Virginia gangs by the numbers:
5,000: estimated number of gang members
80-100: number of gangs and cliques
3,000: members of El Salvador-based MS-13
25: percentage of black gang members
66: percentage of Hispanic gang members
80: percentage of gang crimes committed by youths 16 years old and younger
Experts say jurisdictions such as Montgomery County, where police are told to look away from immigration violations, have become safe havens for gangs.
The law enforcement group hired independent reviewers to develop the "Comprehensive Gang Assessment," which studied the effect of the task force's efforts between 2003 and 2008 in Arlington, Fairfax, Prince William, Loudoun and Fauquier counties, as well as Alexandria. The task force has brought federal and local law enforcement agencies together, and the report credits it with helping drive down the region's violent crime rate by 17 percent over the six years of the study.
But officials on the other side of the Potomac said there is no evidence to back up the report's claim -- based on anecdotal evidence -- that the gangs are fleeing into their jurisdictions.
"We simply don't have any evidence to support that assertion," said Montgomery County Executive Ike Leggett's spokesman, Patrick Lacefield. The county's police department recently has made it more difficult for officers to report suspected illegal immigrants to federal authorities, even if they're gang members.
Prince George's County State's Attorney Glenn Ivey said violent crime has been dropping in the county, where homicides this year may reach lows not seen since the late 1990s. Violent activity by Hispanic gangs has dropped off since federal authorities successfully prosecuted MS-13 gang leaders on racketeering charges. However, Ivey said, traditionally black gangs like the Crips and the Bloods have been making inroads, but primarily through the jail system and not through migration from other areas.
Jon Feere, a legal policy analyst for the Center for Immigration Studies, said the "enforcement-free zones" that define Maryland's and the District's approach to illegal immigrants "benefit only the lawbreaker and are a threat to public safety."
He added, "a jurisdiction which welcomes illegal immigration also welcomes gang activity."

Five things that would force Narugami to clean his room0 Reviews
Narugami's room is a nightmare.
1. Fire.
2. Flood.
3. Loki tells him he hid Mjollnir somewhere in the mess, as a joke. Narugami never notices it is still by the door where he set it down.
4. The continual mews are pathetic and small, as though hungry or injured. Narugami turns over and shoves aside piles of stuff desperately, looking for the kitty.
Loki steps in and blinks. "Whoa. Did something die in here?"
Narugami stares at him. "Are you serious? Kitty! Kitty! Where are you?"

Survey: What Do You Eat for Breakfast?
Cold, rainy fall mornings call for more substantial nourishment, and yet the cold and the dark of autumn and winter are not very inspiring in the morning. Just when we should be making hot oatmeal we often find ourselves reaching for something quicker.
To what extent do you go for a good breakfast this time of year, and what do you eat to keep yourself going the rest of the day? Tips and inspiration always appreciated!

42 Comments
It depends. There are days when I've overslept and have to skip breakfast. When I do eat, it might be scrambled eggs or yogurt with fruit. If I've thought about it in advance, overnight oatmeal with fruit. Occasionally, I'll eat leftovers or snack-type foods like a crisped-up sprouted grain tortilla (broken into chips) with hummus or almond butter. I've never acquired a taste for coffee.
I usually have a fruit/yogurt/oats smoothie. We happen to be out of all of those things, so this morning, I'm snacking on banana chips and counting the minutes until lunch.
Add a yogurt to my granola bar.
Mostly I have toast because it's quick, easy, and hot. But sometimes I have porridge or cold cereal or homemade muffins.
meal replacement shake. Breakfast just isn't my time of day.
I usually have coffee and kefir for breakfast.
When I have time, I eat a hearty breakfast: eggs scrambled with provolone, peppers, and onions; sliced fruit; a few slices of bacon; and a big glass of orange juice.
However, I never, ever, ever have time, so I usually end up eating toast as I drive to work. Sigh...
I'm easily bored, so I rotate the following throughout the course of the work week:
one egg, cheddar and tomato on toasted multigrain bread
Greek yogurt with walnuts and honey
cottage cheese or a hard boiled egg and a glass of vegetable juice (I prefer Knudsen Very Veggie, but V8 will do in a pinch)
ricotta with apricots, pine nuts and a drizzle of balsamic
baguette with butter and cheese
multigrain Wasa with ricotta and jam
I love oatmeal and I generally only eat it during the cooler months of the year. I usually dress it up with blueberries and almonds, or butter and sea salt, or a few dashes of hot sauce, or a little grated sharp cheese.
On the weekends, anything goes - we go out for brunch more often than we do for any other meal, but if I cook at home, I'll do soft scrambled eggs with fresh herbs, or eggs baked with feta and tomato, or eggs over easy with toast and bacon or chicken-apple sausage on the side.
I have a 21 month old who rises long before the break of day and demands food. (This morning: "I want broccoli." I happened to have a broccoli frittata in the fridge. It's not always that easy.) Breakfast is also the only time that me, my husband, and the spud can all reliably eat together, so breakfast is our family meal. We do it up, although it requires a tank of coffee to achieve this, and I need another cup as soon as I get to work.
Usually rotates between cold cereal with a smoothie and oatmeal with fruit mixed in and a smoothie. Weekends we hit the magical world of veggie frittatas, pancakes, coffee cake with raspberries, or what we call breakfast burritos with basically scrambled eggs, italian sausage and cheese. And a smoothie.
Yogurt, banana and coffee is my standard breakfast. Sometimes it's a drinkable yogurt from Ronnybrook. Occasionally there'll be cereal, and very occasionally on a weekend I will make pancakes.
Goodness, I feel like such a breakfast slacker. I'm usually just not hungry first thing in the morning, so a nice hot cup of coffee does it for me.
But then I tend to do the "small snacks" throughout the day that keep me going, so I often end up having a late breakfast of sorts. Could be anything from cheese & crackers to half a sandwich to a bit of last night's leftovers.
to cmcinnyc: if your small child wants broccoli for breakfast, he's already on the right track. that's amazing! great job teaching him how to eat well already!!
I used to eat oatmeal every morning, either instant or the steel cut, but one day I just couldn't face it anymore. Now I usually have a bar before running out the door, or a Pop Tart at work (my office has a thing about Pop Tarts).
Swiss muesli in the summer, oatmeal in the winter. About once a month: leftover tuna sandwich.
cmcinnyc - There are times when I crave broccoli in the morning ;-)
I'm not a morning person, at all, so I will sometimes have a shot or two of espresso while I am getting ready (if there's time) and take a cappuccino to go.
I tend to get lightheaded around 10:30 or so, I've been trying to bring in a bag of Cherrios - anything to get into my stomach.
However, I do start hatching plans for dinner at around noon. I suppose I'm more of a nighttime eater.....
I'm not a morning person, so I get up 10-15 minutes before I have to catch the bus in the morning. This means I eat when I get here.
If I'm on top of things and bring breakfast it is yougurt and berries. Most days I'm not and it is an English Muffin with peanut butter from the cafeteria, except every other Friday, then it is Eggs Benedict.
poached egg, sprouted wheat toast with butter, coffee 1 square chocolate. (however, when I was 20lbs heavier, it was small hot fudge sundae and french fries every morning... no joke)
the easiest hot breakfast ever is grape nuts, milk, and some dried fruit. a little cinnamon if you like. nuke for a minute or two, and you have something with the texture of steel-cut oats and, i think, better flavor.
The idea of a few eggs scrambled with some swiss cheese was all that got me out of bed this morning...
PB&J on whole wheat toast.
summer, fruit smoothies and a hard boiled egg.
winter, oatmeal with fruit.
This time of year, cider and donut---I figure you get 300 calories, if you eat dessert for breakfast it saves you the calories later on, right?
Wholegrain toast slathered in peanut butter and topped with lots of raisions, plus a mug of green tea. I definitly go through phases with my breakfast tastes, but I've been eating this every day for the past month and a half and I'm not tired of it yet....I do seem to be going through a jar of peanut butter per week though...
Toast and hummus, or toast and cheese and dijon mustard. And tea. Sometimes grapes, too.
We usually have leftovers for breakfast. This morning it was this borscht soup/stew that had been dinner on Tuesday night. I need a healthy dose of protein in the morning to keep me going during the day. Plus, it's easier to get all the vegetables you should get during the day if you have some with breaky too. Plus, it's really easy to chuck a plate or bowl into the microwave.
most days a banana and either raisin bread or a whole-wheat tortilla with peanut butter.
cappucino and croissant at the bar, newpaper in hand, the Italian way
when I have it together, a hearty miso soup is my favorite winter breakfast. An odd combination with coffee, but it is a good kick to get the day started.
In Summer I had a fruit smoothie time: lemon, banana, apple, pineapple, or any fruit I had in store, hoppa in da blenda, and eat/drink.
Nowadays, my blender being in a bad state, I often limit myself to lemon juice with water, and later some fresh grapefruit juice, and by 11AM I have a banana when at work.
I am not typically hungry until I've been up for a few hours but I do usually fill a mug up with chocolate soy milk so I put something in my stomach, and get a dose of much needed calcium. Once and awhile I'll make some hot chocolate on those really cold, tired mornings when I don't feel like getting out of my blankets.
The irony of my situation is I love breakfast food and I am not really a fan of chocolate but I don't care for regular soy milk or coffee.
Lately, homemade granola with plain yogurt and some homemade applesauce (for the best granola recipe ever, http://www.travelerslunchbox.com/journal/2007/6/9/the-lip-ladys-secret-granola.html, I add more oats to make it a little less sweet).
Once it's colder outside, I move to steel cut oatmeal with cheddar cheese. Mmm, just like cheese grits! I try to make enough for a few days, then I can heat it up in the morning.
I am very routine oriented as far as breakfast goes, so I try to pick something that has some protein and some whole grains. I don't drink coffee, but I'll have tea when I get to work.
thesamanthafiles -
Yay! someone else who does chedder cheese with their oatmeal! It's a tradition in my mom's family, but I've never found anyone else who does it....(Everyone else, this is a wonderful way to eat oatmeal - lots of chedder gratted over top, plus a dash of milk, yum!)
it's important to have a full meal to start the day. i have hot oatmeal with honey, multi grain toast with fruit preserves, a banana, and orange juice, scan the new york times, pet my dog, then get ready for work. by having quiet time eating at home i can enjoy being in my apartment before begining a busy day at work.
a glass of v8 fusion and if there's time, toast or a toasted english muffin.
My standard fare is 2 slices of natural wheat bread toast with butter and natural peanut butter and 2 cups of home-roasted espresso americano.
If it is an especially dreary day, I will mix it up with steel-rolled oats, cooked with frozen blueberries from the summer, topped with a drizzle of local honey and kefir. When I run out of blueberries, it will be chopped up dried apricots.
On weekends we will have full-fledged breakfasts with eggs. This might be with toast and sharp cheese, ranch-style (huevos rancheros) or in breakfast burritos.
I am going to try that cheddar on oatmeal. Hey, if a good cheddar is good in a peanut butter sandwich, it should be good in oatmeal...
Mmmm mmm mmm. I like breakfast!
A sausage breakfast taco and maybe orange juice. Even the crappy cafeteria ones really brighten a morning.
crunchy peanut butter on rye toast.. almost every day but i like to mix it up with a bagel or waffles now and then.
when i can have dairy again, i really want to go back to yogurt in the morning.
hey! Did you know you can make excellent porridge in the microwave!!? Seriously! No pot to wash up. I put a few spoons of oats in a bowl, some sultantas and just cover with water. Zap for 1.30, then add milk to cover and zapp again for another minute. Brown sugar, milk and nutmeg - brilliant!
whole wheat bread from a local bakery, cream cheese, 2 poached eggs, celery salt: my version of eggs Benedict. Yum Yum
Black coffee, a small green smoothie, sprouted toast and a bowl of fruit.
I'm partial to japanese style: a bit of fish and a bit of rice. (or congee, sometimes) Perfect protein/carb combination. Keeps me full until lunch.
