The "family-style" dessert costs just $5 with purchase of a real pizza and joins the somewhat suspect, doughy ranks of Papa John's Applepie and Cinnapie. [Brand Eating]

I have a Spring application that consumes messages on a specific port (say 9001), restructures them and then forwards to a Rabbit MQ server. The code segment is:
private void send(String routingKey, String message) throws Exception {
String exchange = applicationConfiguration.getAMQPExchange();
String exchangeType = applicationConfiguration.getAMQPExchangeType();
Connection connection = myConnection.getConnection();
Channel channel = connection.createChannel();
channel.exchangeDeclare(exchange, exchangeType);
channel.basicPublish(exchange, routingKey, null, message.getBytes());
log.debug(" [CORE: AMQP] Sent message with key {} : {}",routingKey, message);
If the Rabbit MQ server fails (crashes, runs out of RAM, turned off etc) the code above blocks, preventing the upstream service from receiving messages (a bad thing). I am looking for a way of preventing this behaviour whilst not losing mesages so that at some time in the future they can be resent.
I am not sure how best to address this. One option may be to queue the messages to a disk file and then use a separate thread to read and forward to the Rabbit MQ server?

I love this store; the prices are great and the selection amazing. It's also a very pleasant place, very clean with wide aisles and good lighting. Despite the name, it's not limited to Asian/South Asian goods; they have African, Mexican, and other kinds of foods. There's a section of cookware and the like, too, with everything from chopstick holders to gigantic stockpots.
Our family went to Yuki's last night and had an absolutely amazing time. The food and service were phenomenal. We could not choose our favorite dish - they were all out of this world. The service was also excellent - we have not experienced better service anywhere else. Yuki's is by far the best Asian restaurant in Tucson. Giving Yuki's a 5 out of 5 stars, and a two thumbs up is an understatement. If you haven't been to Yuki's, you have not experienced the best the food business has to offer.
Great hamburgers... way beyond fast food. Quick and courteous service as well.
Best breakfast spot. Nothing fancy but it's good. Chorizo and eggs.
Always a delight. Wished they served at the bar though.
Excellent sushi - wonderful service!!
Highly recommended!
One of the best pizza places I've eaten. Thin crispy crust baked in a wood fired oven topped with homemade mozzarella cheese. Calzones were also an excellent choice. Will eat here again.
I'm the non beer drinker in our group and if a brew pub can keep me as happy as the rest of the bunch, it's a great place.
Their version of the mojito is excellent- plenty of fresh muddled mint and a slice of orange, quite strong and not too sweet but intensely flavored.
Another plus- their beer battered fish and chips arrives at the table hot and crisp and the wait staff cheerfully substituted sweet potato fries for the usual ones.
Great food- I sometimes eat there 2-3 times a week! Their daily soup is usually excellent and the ever-present french onion is the best in town. For late night eats, this is a far better pick than a gross chain like Applebee's or TGIFriday's.
Great food, great service & great coffee. Breakfeast and lunch is reasonably price.
At the sign of the Big Bottle they have the finest unpretentious music venue in town. Great musicians (mostly local, but some blues stars also turn up), a well-used dance floor, pool tables, no pseudos, no pressure to drink. They also put on rockin' benefit performances when the need arises; does that make 'em Boondocks saints?
Some of the best and most reasonabley priced italian food we have ever had. We love it and go as frequently as we can. Everything we 've tried, we loved! Best meatballs in Tucson. The Seafood Soup is phenomenal; the broth is to die for. So pleased to have Guiseppe's as our go-to place! We wish him much success and tell everyone we can about the place.
Great food ,drinks and staff. The live music provided by The Equinox and Eq on Thursday and saturday will keep you coming back to this location over and over again
TBG is one of those people who orders the same thing whenever he's trying a new restaurant. In the case of mexican food, it's always beef tacos in crispy corn tortillas. Along with the world's largest quesadilla and a Sonoran hot dog to die for, today's lunch at Lupita's included "the very best..... by miles...." beef tacos in Tucson.
My husband and I dine out frequently. We are extremely particular in our expectations and this restaurant far exceeds them. We often find ourselves dining here on a couple nights throughout our week. We also LOVE their italian breakfasts & lunch dishes! Cafe Torino is a wonderful neighborhood restaurant with an intimate feel. The owner is "hands on" and frequently visits with her guests when not in the kitchen. The food is absolutely exceptional. The pasta is all homemade, each morning ,and the menu offers many northern italian authentic selections as well as rotating specials. I have impressed many by bringing them to this little gem. For breakfast, lunch or dinner...it is one to not miss!
We have eaten here 18-20 times; for lunch 25% of the time and dinner 75% of the time. The food is consistently good, and the service has been very good as well. The sushi is fresh and the vegetables crunchy and tasty, especially the cucumbers. I've had the grilled salmon and the chicken teriyaki as well, and the hot foods are pretty close to as good as the sushi. Plum ice cream for dessert seems to be standard without asking. The iced green tea is refreshing as well. A definite favorite of ours.
I live in Chicago and was visiting friends in Tucson. We decided to try Bubby's to see how it measured up. I had the Chicago dog and my husband had a burger. We both thought the food was great. We thought we were back in Chitown for a moment until we looked out and everything was beige. We actually went back again before we left Tucson!
I may only be 24 and from Kansas, but this place has the best Hot Wings and Sandwiches I have ever had. They know how to make good food here, and will gladly provide without raiding your wallet. I haven't met a sandwich here that wasn't toothsome, certainly don't hesitate to venture away from the top ten. The Chicken Caccitore, Eggplant Parm, and Philly Phanatic are all worthy of your attention, if you order the Italian make it a grinder.
Be prepared to be nice to the servers, generally there's only one on staff (in addition to one of the owners), so they can get overworked if there's a sudden rush.
The food is terrific, the decor is fun, and the service is friendly. Try the hand-cut fries. I overheard a little girl say to her mom, "these fries are better than McDonald's". They are that good!!

Chuburná Things to Do
Visit the Lagoon
A long lagoon borders the backsides of Chuburna, Chelem, and Yulculpetan. It is home to many waterbirds, among them herons, egrets, and eagles. For as little as 100 pesos (though if you've enjoyed yourself a tip is appreciated) a local will take you out in a little pole-propelled boat for a couple of hours.
In addition to the birds you may see crab, fish, jellyfish and a beautiful shellfish called 'barcolas' which I was told is the snail-like creature listed as 'cevitas' in the local restaurants.
Take a cool drink, plenty of sunscreen, binoculars if you have them and a camera - there won't be any splashing so don't worry about your equipment. Don't wear good shoes as you may have to step in the muck getting in or out of the boat. It's best to go fairly early in the day, both for your comfort and your guide's.
It's a quiet, wonderful world out on the laguna!
Walk to the boat-landing at the end of calle 10 (10th Street). If there's no one around, wait a few minutes - there's plenty to look at there. Tell whomever you see that you'd like to take a boat ride on the laguna, after, of course, you've said hello! If you don't speak Spanish, you can simply say 'quiero dar un paseo en una lancha'; it's pronounced the way it looks.
If you don't see anyone, inquire at any of the stores or go back another time.

From Merida: Take the bus to Progreso. Departure: every 15 - 20 minutes.
$12 Pesos One way.
From Progreso: Right on the corner from the bus drops you, you must ask for churburna vans, they cost 8 pesos and they drop on in the village or ate the entrance of the house you might visit.
To Be back to progreso, you have to take the van from the ROAD, wait for it.. it takes forever so take your tenis-shoes and walk to the closet village.. If you are lucky the van will pick you up and take you straight to progreso..
It's better if you have a car and enjoy privacy with friends or family.. if you don't and don't want to spend hours under the sun, just relax in Progreso.. that's the closest beach from Merida City.

My job was all about multitasking various duties, such as printing needed materials, answering the phone/redirecting calls, answering colleagues' questions, setting up groups (booking rooms, confirming attendance with clients, preparing manuals and CD's for use within group, keeping Excel waitlist up-to-date), scoring and entering self-report measures in computer program, running reports and collecting stats. I also took meeting minutes, as well as maintained supplies and kept electronics in working order. Not to be overlooked is that I trained the new secretary in her position in the psychiatry clinics. I provided support with client appointments, etc. and transcription.
I actually enjoyed the adrenaline rush (if I may put it this way) that came from accomplishing various duties and being productive. I specifically enjoyed learning and applying desktop publishing skills, used to prepare manuals and working with Excel spreadsheets.
Unfortunately, I found management personnel to have a high turnover rate. On the one hand, I missed certain individuals that left; on the other hand, I enjoyed sharing information in order to bring new ones up to speed on my work duties and program procedures. I enjoyed working many years with certain ones of my colleagues.
What I found to be the hardest part of my job was the sometimes unpleasant work atmosphere that arose from communication difficulties between some of my colleagues. I personally enjoyed a good work relationship with each of them though.
I truly loved my job and would never have left! But I eventually found myself alone in BC, without any family members nearby, all of them having moved to Ontario.

- VirtualBox doesn't support Windows' symlink to be shared with host (Linux).
- actually a physical folder which contains the link is share. Everything except the symlink can be accessed.
- Have a symlink in that folder is currently the easiest for my purpose (describing the situation is not feasible). Other options are too length and chances of error are high.
- when the VB shared folder is mounted (
sudo mount -t vboxsf foo /home/apache/foo -o rw) the symlink (
bar) it contains is listed but it's content can't be viewed.
file /home/apache/foo/barreturns an error saying something like
/home/apache/foo/bar: broken symbolic link to `X:\foo\bar'
What I can do is VB share the link to which
bar links to and mount it at say
How can I shadow
~/foo/bar so that it actually acts as a proxy to
~/mounts/bar? In essence shadowing
That way if the host (Windows) shares
foo on it's network, it's clients will be able to access the content of
foo/bar and the host VB machine would indirectly read/write to
~/mounts/bar while pointing at
~/foo/bar. Actually the application expects one base data directory not multiple.

Start at 5 meters (~15')
Grip gun with isometric resistance right to left hand. Push with strong side and pull with weak side. [You are shooting two hand, right?] Start out easy and experiment by applying different (but equal fore and aft isometric) pressure's until it starts working. (read: hits on point of aim.)
I know this is going to confuse you even more but....with your two hand purchase (squeeze) relax your strong side (trigger hand) 'squeeze' and tighten your weak side until you have a 10% delta. The gun should be held 60% with the weak side purchase and 40% strong side. This relaxes the trigger finger.
Do I have a clear focus on the front sight?
Do i have good isometric balance? (push to pull)
Does my weak side hand have control of the 'squeeze'?
Is my trigger finger relaxed and properly on the trigger?
Do I have a clear focus on the front sight?
Start the pull and ALWAYS have the trigger break surprise you. (let it happen, don't "make" it happen) This is your "follow through".

Kappler cruelty case heads to court
Published: Tuesday, October 28, 2008 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, October 28, 2008 at 3:26 a.m.
The former owner of All Creatures Great and Small is slated to appear in court Wednesday morning on 93 misdemeanor charges of mistreating dogs and cats.
In July, sheriffs deputies and animal control officers seized 44 animals from Kim Kapplers home in Flat Rock and charged her with multiple violations of the countys animal control ordinance and assessed a $4.4 million fine. At the same time, Kappler was charged with the 93 misdemeanors.
The animals are being housed at the county animal shelter. Kappler said she visits them often and praised the staff at the shelter for letting her see the animals.
She said she never considered giving any of the animals away. She could not make a choice on which member of her family should be adopted out, Kappler said.
That was not an option for me, finding new homes for my animals, Kappler said in a previous interview.
A county appeals board unanimously denied Kapplers appeal of 86 animal violations and the resulting fines of $4.4 million in August.
Kappler can appeal the boards decision to Superior Court.
The fines Kappler was assessed was based on the number of animals multiplied by the number of days she violated the countys animal control ordinance.
The bulk of the fines is for mistreatment of animals. The county calculated a $500 fine for each animal for 181 days, which is roughly the time between contacts with the sheriffs department.

This is a fantastic bread recipe which has worked really well for me when I have made it wih whey and when I stuck strictly to the recipe. It rises extremely well. Moreover it holds its shape and stores extremely well overnight and for a couple of days without going hard if accidentally left out. Great fluffy texture. All the good things about a plain white bread without the preservatives. This recipe has joined the very exclusive "Zaar recipe good enough to have been made twice" club and there are less than a dozen that can claim that fame.
This recipe makes a very tasty, easy bread. I will be using this recipe often. I liked that it has no added fat and calls for ingredients I always have on hand. Thanks!
This is one of the best bread machine recipes that I have ever made. It is fast and simple. We didn't have any sugar so we use brown sugar instead, and it still turned out wonderful.

To show you the most accurate prices, TTPM only displays our pricing tool on products which we've reviewed in the past three years.
The Pop 'n Pick Up Elefun is from the Poppin' Park line. It comes with five colorful balls that kids place in the elephant's head. Push the elephant to watch the balls pop out of its trunk. Then, roll the elephant over the balls to scoop them up and make them pop out of the trunk all over again. The handle stores three of the balls when kids are done playing. The other two balls can be stored in the elephant's head for easy clean-up.
Kids will love chasing the balls and watching them pop. Pop 'n Pick Up Elefun provides a fun way for kids to learn cause and effect, and it also helps in developing gross motor skills. The handle is easy for toddlers to grasp.
Pop 'n Pick Up Elefun is for ages 18 months and up.
Adult assembly is required to attach the handle. Screws and instructions are included, and we found it really easy to do, but you will need a Phillips head screwdriver.

I have been a season ticket holder for 15 years and I have watched the UTES gradually get weaker and weaker as a team. Their recruits aren't the top notch athletes they have had in the past. (Their lastest add on from Brighton High is a prime example!) I think Greg is a great coach, but he seems to have lost his motivation. He says in the article he has done the same exact thing for years...well, maybe it is time to chance his approach? I will be there again this season, and I will patiently listen to the announcer tell us how many championships we have won, but I won't hold my breath this year!

Utah has placed in the top five for many years and something that fans have to keep in mind is that through the years the disparity between teams is shrinking. Utah, Georgia, UCLA, and Alabama will probably continue to be in the top when it comes to rankings and standing at nationals, but many other schools are becoming more competitive and recruits are choosing to go to other school rather than go to the big four. So while we have not won a championship for a while it is getting harder and harder to not only win a national championship, but also to remain at the top at the end of the season. Each year Utah has found a way to remain competitive and that is very respectable.

THE POTENTIATING ACTION OF HYDROXYZINE MUST BE CONSIDERED WHEN THE DRUG IS USED IN CONJUNCTION WITH CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM DEPRESSANTS SUCH AS NARCOTICS, NON-NARCOTIC ANALGESICS AND BARBITURATES. Therefore when central nervous system depressants are administered concomitantly with hydroxyzine their dosage should be reduced.
Since drowsiness may occur with use of this drug, patients should be warned of this possibility and cautioned against driving a car or operating dangerous machinery while taking Atarax. Patients should be advised against the simultaneous use of other CNS depressant drugs, and cautioned that the effect of alcohol may be increased.
Hydroxyzine, when administered to the pregnant mouse, rat, and rabbit, induced fetal abnormalities in the rat and mouse at doses substantially above the human therapeutic range. Clinical data in human beings are inadequate to establish safety in early pregnancy. Until such data are available, hydroxyine is contraindicated in early pregnancy.
Hydroxyzine is contraindicated for patients who have shown a previous hypersensitivity to it.

Japanese apparel retailer Fast Retailing remains deliberate in its approach to growth of its Uniqlo brand in the U.S. with plans for five more stores by mid-year.
There are currently 1,300 Uniqlo locations worldwide in 13 countries, but only 17 stores in the U.S. The five new stores the company is adding this spring and summer will be located in King of Prussia, Pa., Stamford, Conn., and Daly City, Concord, and Milpitas, Calif. The company's other existing stores are clustered in the Northeast with and northern California.
"We are thrilled to announce our newest store openings and are eager to bring the Uniqlo experience to even more communities throughout the United States," said Larry Meyer, CEO of Uniqlo USA and Fast Retailing Group SVP. "Our universal products, every day basics of exceptional value, world class customer service and modern, bright stores will create a brand new group of Uniqlo fans."
In the fall, Uniqlo plans to open an undisclosed number of stores in markets such as Philadelphia, Boston and Los Angeles/Southern California.
Uniqlo may not be commenting on the number of stores it plans to open, but parent company Fast Retailing is currently the world's fourth largest apparel retailer and Uniqlo is Japan's leading specialty chain so the company is certainly capable of a more meaningful acceleration of its U.S. expansion.

London club Leyton Ladies (ooh, how alliterative!) have a new star on the pitch, but it took them a while to realize that she was already a star off of it as well. 23 year-old Louise Amanda Harmon, better known as the short-statured British grime rapper Lady Sovereign, currently starts regularly for Leyton and is apparently quite talented with the football. Numerous interviews have found the Lady claiming that she was quite the footballer growing up, and that she wanted to play professionally before her drinking and smoking made that difficult. If she is to be believed, her slack attitude extended beyond school (which she was asked to leave) all the way to blowing off a trial with the Arsenal Ladies squad at the age of 13. Her poor attitude is still with her, as she has been in legal trouble at least twice for spitting, a habit which she'll have to curb on the pitch lest she pick up a RC.
After the jump- the Lady Sovereign in a charity indoor match in Sydney in September 2009.

Date: 1959
There was a lot of fanfare last year when Lionel Messi scored 91 goals in the calendar year. He was (rightly) celebrated for an extraordinary accomplishment that was the product of incredible skill, perfect health, and a whole mess of matches in which to play. And after all that, he was still 40 percent short of the goals he needed to break Pele's record. While FIFA refuses to officially acknowledge any of the records, on their own website they offer that Pele did indeed score the 127 he claims he did. That's good enough for us.

Critical Rating: AAA 1/2

While some of its boffing could use the Energizer bunny, Party @ Philmore Butts Place on balance earns an above-average rating thanks to a stream of busty beauties, a pair of vid-ending scorchers - and a generous seven scenes.
Things really come alive three-quarters of the way through as Butts puts the wood to Sana Fey, a big-titted redhead whose hot-wired performance skills infuse the sequence with the kind of heat some of the vid's previous couplings lack.
But even that sizzler is eclipsed by the closer, in which another chesty babe, the raven-haired Angelica Sinn, rides the shit out of some guy's stiff pecker, then takes his messy, gooey load all over her gorgeous kisser.

I was born with a rare skin condition called Ichthyosis, which means having scaly red skin.
Sometimes people compliment me when my skin looks paler than usual. It's as though I'm five shades closer to a white complexion. (Ichthyosis-less, my South African heritage would probably mean that I'd have pale brown skin.)
What they're not seeing (or feeling) is the pain on other parts of my body and the itching. And while these compliments are well meaning - and who doesn't want to be told they look great? - I can't help wondering whether looking paler is the path to being normal.
Normal. What's that?
It's as though the path to 'normal' is the expected path I should want to take. When people tell me that I'm normal just like everyone else or that I'm doing things that normal people do, they don't understand their good intentions are quite othering. 'Looking past' my face or coming to some sort of epiphany that I'm really quite 'normal' is naive and shallow. It's as though someone thinks they've done a good deed for not lumping me in the other category - the one where people are not 'normal'.
My friend Roni - a proud woman of colour - writes about the phrase "I don't see your colour". She writes: "When you tell me you don't see my colour, you are basically telling me that you don't see a huge part of who I am and that doesn't help me. What I want you to say is, 'I see your color. And it's beautiful'." I identified with her post from a visible difference perspective. By someone saying they don't see colour they're saying they don't see your identity. They're not wanting to associate you with belonging to the other category that they are not comfortable with.
Earlier this year someone I had dinner with asked whether I'd want a cure, even just a treatment, to look more 'normal'. The conversation was uncomfortable; telling of their perceptions of a life lived looking different. They went on to say that by changing my appearance, it would be so much easier for me - fewer questions, comments and stares. I'd be being kinder on myself, they said. Their rationale, while not considering the pain aspect of Ichthyosis, was partly compassionate, and partly because they admitted not being able to cope looking like me. "I'd do myself in", were their exact words to me.
This conversation was full of beliefs and personal insecurities being pushed onto me. My dining partner may as well have been asking "wouldn't it easier to be straight?", or "use a little face whitening cream, it'd be kinder on yourself in this white society?".
Once I picked my jaw up off the floor after realising they'd alluded to the idea that a life like mine isn't worth living, I answered no. I wouldn't take a pill to cure or drastically treat my Ichthyosis. I have written a little about this before - during Ichthyosis Awareness Month - but since that question I have thought about it more deeply.
There's currently no cure for Ichthyosis. There are treatments to lessen the redness, scale, and pain. There have been since I've been alive. Retinoids, topical and oral steroids and infusions are the main ones that my doctors have recommended - treatments that will severely impair the quality of life that I currently have.
I see two sides to a cure: a medical cure and an appearance cure. I don't want either. A medical cure (or treatment, as things stand now) may hold worse side effects than Ichthyosis itself. And I think that an appearance cure is conforming to what society expects of me - the expectation that I would want to look 'normal' and de-identify with a condition that I've become accustomed to and accept. I see it as a bit vain, even.
This isn't to say I don't believe in cures, nor do I think striving for one is a bad thing. I can understand the yearning for a cure, especially if your life has been changed significantly by an acquired disability. You'd want a cure to get your previous life back, to be free of pain, to be ambulant, to live life 'normally'. I have a friend who is undergoing stem cell therapy to one day walk again - the work he puts into his rehab is admirable - and it's working for him.
When I was young, my family and I were in search of a cure. This was tiring - going to various skin specialists and herbal practitioners, the side effects were awful (not being able to go out into the sun, giant pieces of skin peeling off, lots of time off school, fatigue, weight gain, lack of sleep, the prospect of foetal defects...). I also met a number of adults with skin conditions who were also in search of a cure - they were tired too, and their conditions had not improved from the treatments they'd tried. And so of course I wondered why I had to visit another naturopath when these new acquaintances were not cured. In fact, they told me stories of how their skin was a little better, but their lives were impacted significantly, in a negative way.
Living with Ichthyosis has been tough. The pain is the worst. And then people's reactions. Those are two things I could do without. But it's also brought many good people and opportunities into my life, which I am very grateful for. And I'd be weighing up the impact on my capacity to live my life now versus the time spent and side effects of treatments.
Leah Hobson writes about being comfortable with her disability - not wanting to escape it. She mentioned the "faux compliments" people give her, telling her they could almost forget she's disabled. She doesn't want a cure for her blindness either - it has shaped her. There's an idea lurking behind them that everyone with a disability has the need to appear as non-disabled as possible." Leah writes that out of niceness, she's thanked people for their faux compliments. "I've actually thanked people for saying something that made me feel at best unintentionally devalued." She makes no apology for being comfortable of her disability.
Jax Brown also writes about the disempowerment that comes with de-normalising: "I am also routinely disempowered and disabled by a society which views my non-normative body as less than the ideal, the less then the so called normal." But like me she has pride. As Jenny Morris writes in Pride Against Prejudice, physical characteristics of disability or visible difference are seen as "not right and not admirable" and there's an expectation that "we wish to be normal or treated as we were".
But it's OK not to want a cure. And it's OK to be proud of having a visible difference or disability. This is who I am and this is what it is. It's not a life worth doing in, or a face to look past. I'm proud. This is my normal.

NEW YORK (July 12, 2013)--Billionaire investor Carl Icahn is offering Dell shareholders a chance to own a bigger stake in the company in hopes of thwarting an attempt by the founder of the Central Texas computer giant to buy the company and take it private.
Icahn, who owns a nearly 9 percent stake in Dell, now wants to offer shareholders warrants in addition to cash.
Under the revised offer, shareholders could receive $14 per share, plus one warrant for every four of their shares.
The warrant would give shareholders the right to buy one Dell share for $20 over the next seven years.
In a letter to shareholders, Icahn values his counter-proposal at about $15.50 to $18 per share.
Michael Dell and Silver Lake Partners have offered $13.65 per share.

Adam Daniel Kinzinger[3] (born February 27, 1978) is the U.S. Representative for Illinois's 16th congressional district. He is a member of the Republican Party. He was first elected to Congress in 2010, winning election to represent Illinois's 11th congressional district. After redistricting, he was re-elected to Congress in both 2012 and 2014 to represent Illinois's 16th congressional district.
Early life, education, and early political career[edit]
Kinzinger was born in 1978 in Kankakee, the son of Betty Jo, an elementary school teacher, and Rus Kinzinger, a CEO of faith-based organizations.[4][5] He was raised in Bloomington, Illinois. He graduated from Normal Community West High School in 1996 and earned a bachelor's degree from Illinois State University in 2000. He served as an intern for former U.S. Senator Peter Fitzgerald shortly after his graduation from Illinois State, as part of a program offered there.[6]
In 2003, Kinzinger joined the United States Air Force. He was commissioned a 2nd Lieutenant in November 2003 and later awarded his pilot wings. Kinzinger was initially a KC-135 Stratotanker pilot and flew missions in South America, Guam, Iraq and Afghanistan. He later switched to flying the RC-26 surveillance aircraft and was stationed in Iraq twice.[7] Kinzinger has served in the Air Force Special Operations Command, Air Combat Command, Air Mobility Command, and Air National Guard and was progressively promoted to his current rank of Major.[8]
Kinzinger served as a County Board member in McLean County, Illinois from 1998 to 2003. Kinzinger defeated an incumbent County Board member in 1998 while still a student at Illinois State. Kinzinger served in that role until 2003, when he decided to serve full-time in the U.S. Air Force.[9]
U.S. House of Representatives[edit]
Elections & Voting Record[edit]
In January 2009, Kinzinger met with Republican U.S. Congressmen Mike Pence, Mark Kirk, and Peter Roskam to discuss a possible run for Congress.[10] Kinzinger decided to run in Illinois' 11th congressional district, held by Democratic U.S. Congresswoman Debbie Halvorson. He started campaigning full-time in May 2009, when he returned home from his 3rd tour in Iraq. In the early autumn, Kinzinger held eight town halls across the 11th congressional district that were attended by nearly 2,000 people. He was endorsed by former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin. On February 2, 2010, Kinzinger won the five-candidate Republican primary with 64% of the vote.[11]
In the general election, he was endorsed by the Chicago Tribune and the Chicago Sun-Times. On November 2, 2010, Kinzinger defeated Halvorson 57%–43%.[12]
After redistricting, Kinzinger decided to run in the newly redrawn Illinois' 16th congressional district. He faced fellow U.S. Congressman Don Manzullo, a 67-year-old politician first elected in 1992, in the March primary. Kinzinger currently represents 31% of the district, while Manzullo has represented at least 44% of the district in the past ten years. Kinzinger defeated the longtime incumbent 56%–44%.[13] In the general election, he defeated Democrat Wanda Rohl and won re-election to a second term, 62%–38%.[14]
Kinzinger was challenged in the Republican primary by David Hale, a nurse and founder of the Rockford Tea Party, but defeated him with 78% of the vote.[15][16] He was targeted by the Club for Growth.[17]
In the general election, Kinzinger faced Democratic nominee Randall Olsen, but defeated him with 71% of the vote.[18][19]
Voting Record[edit]
Conservative Review grades Kinzinger an F with a Liberty Score of 35%. Out of 247 Republicans in the House of Representatives in 2016, 37 received a lower grade (more liberal voting record).[20]
Kinzinger sponsored the Veteran Emergency Medical Technician Support Act of 2013, H.R. 235 in the 113th Congress.[21] This legislation would make it easier for veterans with emergency medical technician training in the military to get civilian licenses to perform the same job outside of the military. The bill passed the House of Representatives by a voice vote on February 12, 2013 and was referred to the United States Senate.[22]
On June 5, 2014, Kinzinger introduced a bill (H.R. 4801; 113th Congress) which would require the United States Secretary of Energy to prepare a report on the effects that thermal insulation has on both energy consumption and systems for providing potable water in federal buildings.[23][24] Kinzinger argued that "with the federal government being the single largest consumer of energy in the country, doing our best to maximize the potential savings from improved insulation systems is a commonsense step I think everybody can agree on."[24]
In 2010 Kinzinger signed a pledge sponsored by Americans for Prosperity promising to vote against any global warming legislation that would raise taxes.[25]
Kinzinger is a member of both the Republican Study Committee and the more moderate Republican Main Street Partnership.[citation needed]
Committee assignments[edit]
- Committee on Energy and Commerce
- Committee on Foreign Affairs
Caucus Memberships[edit]
- Congressional Cement Caucus
Personal life[edit]
In 2006, the Wisconsin Red Cross named Kinzinger "Hero of the Year" for wrestling a knife-wielding man to the ground and disarming him. The man had cut the throat of a woman on a street in downtown Milwaukee, Wisconsin.[26] Recalling the event in an ABC Milwaukee interview, Kinzinger stated "The whole time it was, to me, kind of a done deal that I was going to get stabbed in the process, but I knew that this wasn't something I could wake up to ... everyday with that memory that I watched her die."[27] The woman survived. For this act Kinzinger also received the United States Air Force Airman's Medal and the National Guard's Valley Forge Cross for Heroism.[28]
In 2011, he was ranked 5th The Hill's annual "50 Most Beautiful People" list, which ranks anyone who regularly works on Capitol Hill.[29]
Kinzinger became engaged to a fellow pilot, Air Force Captain Riki Meyers, in 2011; the engagement was called off in 2012.[30][31]

Why do I need a business plan?Great ideas—many of us have them. Some undoubtedly will be better, and better executed, than others. Part of that successful execution could hinge on having a solid business plan. While business plans can take all types of forms, they all share the following elements. Make sure your plan passes the test and answers the important questions about your vision for your business and how you plan to make it come to light.
55 Responses to "Why do I need a business plan?"
Hi Tina,
I've written a business plan for myself offering Cloud Technology Transition services. While doing the research for my plan I discovered I will need resources that I dont have and as a start up cant get. (ex: subject matter experts).
I found a company who offers the experts and resources that I'd need. They want to partner with me to "find them clients" and they will provide resources and training. How do I restructure my business plan based on that? Do I get my loan based on my needs under that company's name. Or should my loan be based on my start up costs but operating under their name? Please advise.
Many Thanks
Alma Redhead
It is my understanding that the business plan is presented to financiers to secure funding but is there anyone else to whom it should be presented?
The business plan may be presented to lenders, investors, partners, coaches, and anyone else who you decide should know about your business. of course, it is wise to share only the parts of the plan that you feel are pertinent to the

All great responses. Also, remember that the business plan is not the final statement for your business. It is an entity that will constantly change. We live in such a dynamic world so your plan for your business must be dynamic too.
Much success to you all. Cheers.

I have several business ideas/opportunities as i am in a very strategic position (by coastal with west africa and california) i also have a few skills. i have an opportunity to do agriculture and aquaponics with a team and investors, biogas systems with a team, began a national youth dance ensemble, and blow up my african fashion and home decor cultural exchange.. all with and emphasis on youth entrepreneurship. I also want to write a book as i have traveled to africa several times with young children.
I'd like to do a business that can umbrella a few different businesses. but how do i go about picking which to choose to do a plan on first and how?
Thank you so kindly…blessings…
Are there any workshops or help I can sign up for to help write a business plan for my business?
Hi Kimberly,
Actually, SBA has Women's Business Centers that conduct workshops. Here's the link
http://www.businessplanpro. There are great software that you can use that can help you write your plan that incorporate charts and projections. To me, these are the best tools and while you are writing your plan you are learning.
A business plan is a road map you create to give you an idea of where you are or would like to go. It forces you to look at all aspects of your business and prevents you from only focusing on certain parts of your business. As your business develops, you will continue to make changes and updates to your plan. If you don't have a plan, you may not be clear on what you are working towards, have a way to measure success, and no opportunity to evaluate how feasible your overall plan is.
Did President Obama set provide SBA or DOL with grants targeted to start small businesses?
Hi Ms. Tina,
How do I determine my start-up costs and other expenses to include in my business plan?
Have you made a short list of all of your needs? Do you need a workspace? technology (new Dell laptops? ;))? Marketing? Human capital? Think about what you'll need to ramp up in the first 90 days then start budgeting from there.
There are several online resources that can help you budget!

Hi Tina,
What are some impportant things to take into consideration when completing the marketing plan section of the business plan?
Do I need a business plan if the services I'm presently providing do not call for an investor at the moment?
Not sure if this works for everyone, but I have two versions of my business plan – one for banks and other traditional investors, and another simplified version for family/friends/newbie investors. The second version is more of a summary without most of the financials that scare some people. I talk more about how their money will grow from investing in my business. Well, I guess I have three versions…lol…the last one I change almost weekly and it is the blueprint for how I do business!
Will the business plan help when applying for a loan?
This is going to be a project.. I'll have to see how I can apply all of the great tips to a home-based business
Is there a certain format that u should write your business plan it?
Karleshia, I found on microsoft word a templets to help write my business plan. The hav simplified and omplex versions. They also give you instructions as to what information needs to be in each subject/area of you plan. I also invested in the Small Business Kit for Dummies 2nd edition. it was helpful to me.
I did write a business plan and I update it every two months because my business changes all the time. by changes, I mean, there is always a new fraud issue that has been discovered and I need to add that service to my list of services. Is it preferable that I update it once a month?
The sample business plans I have examined seems to detialed and overloaded with so much information. I know my vision, I well educated on what is needed for my business. My question is, is there a general rule on how much info is needed for a business plan,if your vision is poured out in the plan and what it will take to execute your plan. In other words, will investors and all interested parties look for pages and pages of information.
in a nutshell I would say my business plan keeps me focused on what I am supposed to be doing becuase its easy to be busy doing things that we should not be doing. I have to update my plan frequently in order for it to remain a living document.
Business plan helps charter your course in business. Keeps you on track.
How detailed does the research section need to be in a business plan? I have heard very conflicting views on this area.
how do i make my business plan meet the niche market i want to step in to. my real target is tweens teens and young adults. the new web sites look will be changeing soon from what you see now can i print off a copie of a business plan blank then send it to who? to look at it.
What are your opinions about local Chambers of Commerce and the Senior Corp of Retired Executive(SCORE) in the creation and sustainability of a business? What are other ways to reach from idea to growth?
A well written business plan is crucial for several reasons. If for any reason you decide to apply for a grant, many of the questions can be answered word for word from a well written business plan. Your business plan should keep you focused on the goals that you set for your business.
I'd like to redact a prior statement I made, "You do not need a business plan, YOU ARE THE CEO" I do not take back the part where I say, "if you are not showing your plan to anyone for loan/financing purposes, YOU DO NOT NEED IT" I will say, following a Business Plan template such as that on the SCORE website, helps you to think about areas of your business that you may have not thought of otherwise. It forces you to articulate in more detail the ins and outs of your business; this could help with your elevator pitch as it gives you more brief talking points that you may have not thought about otherwise. A well thoughtout, written business plan can also charge and pump you up to get going with the activities which will bring your business to life. Yes, it helps, but as I formally stated, if you are not already charged and pumped in your mind and ready to direct with only a few written notes and your thoughts, YOU ARE NOT READY! Spike Lee directed his first three movies with just a notepad of ideas for the script and screen play. Without a business plan: I wrote my website; designed my business cards; designed letterhead and an invoice for services provided; devised a price list for my services; wrote a template of an introductory letter to potential clients; sized up that my potential customers would think my competition to be overly superior in matters of the CPA profession and thought of ways to overcome that customer perception; came up with a strategy to contact potential clients and an elevator pitch/speech to approach them once I make contact, as well as an extended lunch/dinner presentation for potential clients. I DID ALL OF THAT WITHOUT A 10 – 50 PAGE BUSINESS PLAN DOCUMENT! I've recently started a business plan due the fact I'm thinking of taking on investors for a trade of equity. Many of the aspects I mentioned I came up with above without a plan, they are included in my plan and make for easy written articulation in the plan. And once again, I still reiterate, If you are not ready to persue financing, hours spent (I've spent 18 hrs and I'm only near half finished) on a business plan could have been used developing your business, TAKING ACTION TO GET IT STARTED AND/OR OIL THE MACHINE for constant growth and success.
As a lender, the first thing I ask businesses for from a start up is a business plan. If you do not have one, your not serious about your business in my opinion.
A business plan also help you to write out your own goals and roadmap for your business. Too many times we have it in our heads or on a hundred sheets of scrtch paper. A business plan is the visual and reminder to our goals.
A business plan helps stay focus on the main short term and long term goals you want to achieve.
Classes are great and informative, however I have not recieved POINTS OR CREDIT for the classes and facebook shares. (Discouraging). who do I contact or what can I do to get my points/credit ?
As a Project Manager, I believe that a Project Plan and other project documents (Project Schedule and task list, Risk and Issues Log, Resource Plan, Communications Plan, etc…) could take the place of an old school Business Plan.

how do you create a business plan when you are the 1st in a niche?

[WARNING: If you have not yet seen this week's episode of 'Grey's Anatomy,' stop reading right now. Major plot spoilers ahead!]
It's been seven years since Dr. Preston Burke (Isaiah Washington) left a heartbroken Cristina Yang (Sandra Oh) at the altar. But after last night's squeal-worthy episode, these two powerhouse docs were finally given the chance to reunite. Oh, and for the record, it was amazing!
Seriously, guys. I didn't know just how much I missed having Burke on this show until seeing him back on the series. His chemistry with Cristina was just as palpable as ever, making me believe now, more than ever, that it was the right decision to bring his character back, especially in this way.
RELATED NEWS: Isaiah Washington to Return to 'Grey's Anatomy'
To be clear, I'm not saying this in any way excuses certain wrongs from the actor's past. However, you have to admit that his character's return was a genius plot device, not to mention the perfect way to help wrap up Cristina's story before Oh's upcoming departure. Plus, anyone who doesn't think Burke added an extra level of brilliance to the show is just plain lying. Nothing beats those colorful scrub caps of his.
But the reunion of these two former flames took on a rather interesting twist. Unlike the promos suggested, Burke's "wanting" of Cristina had nothing to do with romance and everything to do with her taking over the hospital in Zurich, which he currently runs. That's right — he offered Dr. Yang her very own hospital! Are these the kind of gifts exes usually give each other after years of being apart? Because if so, I have a few calls to make.
Granted, it was a little extremely disappointing to discover that Burke is now happily married to another woman ("the love of his life") and has two kids, promptly throwing any hope we had of an on-call room hookup session right out the window. However, Burke did admit that, if he wasn't leaving the hospital, he'd never be able to offer her the job. He couldn't work with her again, remembering how the way he loved her was "consuming." In the end, it would ruin his marriage and he didn't want that.
Now, I'd be lying if I said I wasn't screaming at my TV for them to just throw caution to the wind and kiss already. (Sorry, next door neighbors!) But that scene was simply mesmerizing, and the more I think about it, the more I'm satisfied with Shonda Rhimes' decision to leave things at that.
RELATED NEWS: Sandra Oh Leaving 'Grey's Anatomy' After Season 10
I mean, walking out on the bride during your own wedding is a hard thing to bounce back from. Yet it gave both of them the opportunity to become the accomplished, hardcore surgeons they always wanted to be, and they both recognized that in the end.
Is there still a connection there? Certainly. Would I totally watch a spin-off show about these two? Absolutely! But since that doesn't seem to be in the cards, this interaction allowed both of them (and us) to find a little more closure to that particular chapter of their lives.
Some of you may agree with this, though I'm sure others will be furious with the lack of lip-locking. (And if you want to start a Kickstarter program for that spin-off I mentioned, I fully support you and will happily donate.) However, if Cristina really does have to leave our television screens, there was no better person to help give her the means to make that happen.
After all, Meredith may be her person, but Burke will always be her Preston. Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to go rewatch all of the Burke scenes.

WASHINGTON (June 30, 2016)– WRI is pleased to announce that Carole Excell, Project Director of The Access Initiative (TAI) at WRI, has been selected to serve as the sole external member of United Nations Environment Programme's (UNEP) Access to Information Panel.
WASHINGTON (June 29, 2016)— Leaders from the United States, Canada and Mexico announced a comprehensive suite of new collaborative measures to combat climate change, meet their respective emissions targets and expand clean energy opportunities at the North American Leadership Summit in Ottawa, Canada.
BEIJING (June 8, 2016)— At the second China-US Climate Smart/Low Carbon Cities Summit, representatives from more than 50 cities came together to enhance cooperation on low-carbon development. Twelve Chinese cities pledged to peak their carbon emissions earlier than China's national target of 2030, joining the 11 founding cities and provinces of the Alliance of Peaking Pioneer Cities (APPC). The APPC was launched in 2015 at the China-US Climate-Smart/Low Carbon Cities Summit.
WASHINGTON (June 7, 2016)-Prime Minister Modi and President Obama today released a new U.S.-India Joint Announcement on Climate and Clean Energy. The statement includes developments on a number of climate and energy related issues, including the Paris Agreement, Montreal Protocol and clean energy. This builds on previous announcements by the two countries last year.
Following is a statement by Andrew Steer, President and CEO, World Resources Institute:
WASHINGTON (June 2, 2016) – At the Clean Energy Ministerial (CEM7) and inaugural Mission Innovation Ministerial today in San Francisco, the U.S. joined 21 governments and the European Union to announce new investments in renewable energy, including nearly $30 billion per year in clean energy research and development by 2021.
The climate negotiations in Bonn, Germany concluded today. This is the only formal round of international negotiations between the Paris climate summit last December and the forthcoming climate summit in Marrakech, Morocco (COP22) in November.
Following is a statement from David Waskow, International Climate Director, World Resources Institute:
WASHINGTON (MAY 12, 2016)— The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency finalized the first-ever federal standards for methane emissions from new and modified sources in the oil and natural gas sectors. Methane is a potent greenhouse gas pollutant, with up to 34 times more global warming potential than carbon dioxide, and it accounts for roughly one-quarter of human-made global warming. Methane valued at more than $1 billion escapes from oil and natural gas extraction processes in the U.S.
WASHINGTON (APRIL 21, 2016)– Tomorrow, country representatives from around the world are gathering in New York City for the Paris Agreement Signing Ceremony. Over 150 countries have indicated they will formally sign the agreement, far exceeding the most first-day signatures any international pact in history.
Earlier today the United States and Canada released a joint statement outlining a variety of ways both countries are taking action on climate change and advancing low-carbon energy. One of the most significant developments is that the United States is starting a process to develop rules that will limit methane emissions from existing oil and natural gas infrastructure for the first time.
Following is a statement from Sam Adams, US Climate Director, World Resources Institute:
This week, Berta Cáceres was tragically murdered in her home in Honduras. Cáceres was an internationally recognized champion of the environment and indigenous people's rights, including a winner of the prestigious Goldman Environmental Prize Award. Cáceres was widely recognized for her defense of indigenous peoples' land and protector of her beloved Rio Blanco in Honduras.
