CHICAGO -- The National Automatic Merchandising Association said it has secured $3 million in financial commitments for its Positioning for Growth capital campaign.
NAMA chief executive Carla Balakgie said the financial commitments illustrate that the campaign's objections -- advocacy, research and thought leadership -- are vital issues of interest to operators, suppliers, distributors and manufacturers. "It affirms that NAMA is on the right track," she said.
In July, NAMA announced that PepsiCo Foodservice had committed $1 million to the campaign, the target of which is $5 million. "Our members are stepping up at an unprecedented level," Balakgie said. "We recognize the critical role investors such as PepsiCo and others have had in helping to create sustained momentum for the campaign." | See PepsiCo Story
NAMA's steering committee in charge of the Positioning for Growth program is led by Jim Terry, a past-chairman of the association.

Good day,
I am in the process of beefing up my server in terms of capacity which is based on Ubuntu but will also be my media/home server.
My requirements are the following.
1) Have more than 1TB for TV recordings for my Mythtv server
2) Have about 1TB, redundant for family Photo & Video and the music library.
3) The rest would go to TV shows I recorded and compressed as well as my movie library that I digitized.
My problem is that I have 4x2TB ( 2x2TB WD EARS + 2x2TB WD EARX) . Without considering the fact that I have 4 physical drives, I was considering having 2x1TB for the Req. 2, and have 6TB for the rest (MythTV, Series and Films).
That would mean, from my limited knowledge of Ubuntu (Linux) that I would need to split 2 drive in 2 and group the rest together
sda [ sda1 1TB ][ sda2 1TB ]
sdb [ sdb1 1TB ][ sdb2 1TB ]
sdc [ sdc 2TB ]
sdd [ sdd 2TB ]
[ sda1 1TB ] + [ sdb1 1TB ] in Raid 1
[ sda2 1TB ] + [ sdb2 1TB ] + [ sdc 2TB ] + [ sdd 2TB ]
Is this solution pure fiction or possible? And even if it is possible, is there a better way? I am open to suggestions...

America Ferrera 'Cried 5 Times' Watching 'How to Train Your Dragon 2'
Photo: Getty Images
By Kathleen Perricone
American Ferrera stars in the brand new animated movie, How to Train Your Dragon 2, which is set five years after the original … and the characters have aged right just like they would in a live-action flick.
"They're all 20-year-olds," explains the actress, who voices Astrid. "And it's so cool to see animated characters grow up. I don't think that's happened before … Astrid is an awesome character. It's just so great to see a female character in the middle of the action. I think that's what we're ready for. We're sick of seeing girls sitting on the sidelines looking pretty and taking about boys. We're ready for girls who kick butt!"
And even though she stars in the movie, America says she still was just as excited to watch it with the audience the first time.
"It's a great movie, I love it," she gushes. "I cried five times. I was hooting and hollering, the flying scenes are magical. It makes you really want to get a dragon."
In addition to How to Train Your Dragon 2, Ryan of course had to ask about another sequel of sorts … the third movie in The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants series.
"I had a feeling you were going to ask that question," America says with a laugh. "It's absolutely in the works. I know there is a writer writing, and that's where it's at."
Although she has not been given any details on the script, she does know it will be based on the fifth book in the series, "10 years after you last saw them. They're 28, almost 30-year-olds and they're dealing with new problems in their friendship, so it's cool, it's exciting, it's so awesome that the friends are so excited."
How to Train Your Dragon 2 is in theaters today!

Colorado School of Mines receives $500,000 gift from Devon Energy
GOLDEN, Colo., Sept. 19, 2008 – Devon Energy Corporation announced a $500,000 gift to the Colorado School of Mines Foundation to provide funding for a laboratory in a new petroleum engineering facility planned for the Mines campus.
The Devon Energy Drilling Fluids Laboratory will enhance the school's world-class petroleum engineering program and provide students with resources to conduct advanced oil and natural gas drilling research. The energy industry will also benefit from research conducted in the lab as companies continue to seek new and innovative technology to produce oil and natural gas.
"We are excited to partner with the Colorado School of Mines and provide support for the drilling fluids lab," said Devon President John Richels. "This lab will help the school build upon its success in developing skilled graduates at a time when the energy industry needs a pipeline of technical employees to help keep pace with the nation's growing demand for energy."
Groundbreaking on the $25 million first phase of the building is anticipated for late spring 2009. The project will more than double the current space allocated for the petroleum engineering program and will significantly expand the school's teaching and research facilities.
"Colorado School of Mines is proud of our strong partnership with Devon Energy," said President M.W. "Bill" Scoggins. "This outstanding commitment to our new, state-of-the-art facility will enhance our educational and research initiatives in energy and better prepare students to enter the workforce."
Devon Energy Corporation is an Oklahoma City-based independent energy company engaged in exploration and production. Devon is the largest U.S.-based independent oil and gas producer and is included in the S&P 500 Index. For additional information, visit www.devonenergy.com.
Founded in 1874, Colorado School of Mines was established to serve the needs of the local mining industry. Today, the school has an international reputation for excellence in both engineering education and the applied sciences with special expertise in the development and stewardship of Earth's resources.

Aside from medications, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and surgery, there are no other proven treatments for ovarian cancer at this time. Many cancer centers are exploring the potential of vaccines and immunotherapies. Ask your doctor if you should consider participating in a clinical trial of any of these treatments. Be skeptical of providers who claim to have greater success than those who use conventional therapies. Be especially suspicious of claims to cure ovarian cancer by diets and supplements.

text: A 37 year old woman in Sweden has been charged with disturbing the peace of the dead after police say they found six skulls and other human bones in a secret compartment in her apartment. The police then decided to release photos of the woman being intimate with the skulls and bones. In the photos they released she is just kissing and licking and caressing the bones and skulls, but apparently there are unreleased photos of her performing sex acts on the bones and skulls. How much do you want to bet that she had some kind of internet site or some other way to make money off this from guys who get off to it? The woman faces two years in jail but says she won't apologize because she likes her man whether she is alive or dead.

Sun's effect on skin
Sun's effect on skin
The skin uses sunlight to help manufacture vitamin D, which is important for normal bone formation. But sometimes its ultraviolet light can be very detrimental.
Within the skin's epidermal (outer) layer are cells that contain the pigment melanin. Melanin protects skin from the sun's ultraviolet rays, which can burn the skin, and over time, could reduce its elasticity and cause a person to age prematurely. Suntanning occurs because exposure to sunlight causes the skin to produce more melanin and to darken. The tan fades as these cells move toward the surface and are sloughed off.
Too much exposure to ultraviolet or UV rays can cause sunburn. UV rays penetrate the outer skin layers and pass into the deeper layers, where they can damage or kill skin cells. People who do not have much melanin and sun burn easily should protect themselves by covering up sensitive areas, wearing sun block, limiting their total exposure time, and limiting their sun exposure between the hours of 10 a.m. and 2 p.m.
Frequent and prolonged exposure to ultraviolet rays over many years is the chief cause of skin cancer. Examine skin regularly for development of suspicious growths or changes in an existing skin lesion. Early detection and treatment are key in increasing the cure rate for skin cancer.


text: The Vietnam War still has the power to divide Americans between those for it and those against. Today it also divides us, just as surely, between those who remember its era firsthand and those not yet born when the troops came home. There may be no better bridge across these twin divides than Tim O'Brien's novel in stories The Things They Carried. The details of warfare may have changed since Vietnam, but O'Brien's semi-autobiographical account of a young platoon on a battlefield without a front, dodging sniper fire and their own misgivings, continues to win legions of dedicated readers, both in uniform and out.

I have to get knee surgery in January and i'll be out of the water till may, and my 4/3 suit ripped and basically could I wear a 3/2 and survive an hour in OCMD during christmas time?

I have to get knee surgery in January and i'll be out of the water till may, and my 4/3 suit ripped and basically could I wear a 3/2 and survive an hour in OCMD during christmas time?
Today (Nov. 30th) the water was 54, and the air 45. I wore a 3/2 w/3m boots, gloves and a squid lid to fend off the wind. Not the least bit cold after 2 hours.
I'd say on a warm day, little to no wind, sun brightly shining, waves worth being out there for, and a wetsuit that does a pretty good job of keeping water out you should be able to get away with it for at least a little bit of time. 7mm boots and at least 5mm gloves are a definite though man. I've worn a 4/3 Billabong for the past 3 winters with 7mm boots and 6.5mm gloves and I've been able to stay out for up to 2 hours at a time. This past winter I had a few days where I froze the old scrote off, so i'm updating to a new thicker suit.
But anyway, you should be ok for at least a while out there, depending on all the conditions.
Good luck bro!
I've surfed in my O'Neill Mutant 3/2 in water that was about 48°F with out much issue. I don't think I would want to try anything colder though.
I go suitless all year round in Nova Scotia....oh yea, my balls are bigger than yours too!
I was wondering this same thing. I have a 3/2 xcel and was hoping to make it till january. This is my first season surfing in cold water and dont have the coin to drop on a thicker suit since i only got the 3/2 a few months ago.
Of course you can. Wetsuits existed for many years without glued, taped, blind stitched seams and shoulder zippers. Just make sure you have someone without frozen fingers that can open your car. :)
I thought I'd died and gone to heaven the first time I wore a suit w/ glued seams.

L-R comes back to defeat BC 4-1September 26, 2009
Lenoir-Rhyne tops Brevard 4-1
Hickory, S.C. - The Tornados and Bears opted to move Saturday's game to Lenoir-Rhyne after rain saturated Brevard's home field, however rain clouds hung over Hickory, N.C. as well and poured down on the teams for ninety minutes. After Renato Barbosa and the Tornados struck first, Dave Bailey's hat trick led the Bears in the second half as they battled back to defeat Brevard 4-1.
Lenoir-Rhyne improves to 5-2-1 overall and 1-0 in the SAC, while Brevard falls to 1-8 and 0-3 in the SAC.
Barbosa scored the Tornados lone goal twelve minutes into the first half when Alec Darcey's shot bounced off the cross bar to Barbosa who was alone inside the box.
The Bears came out strong in the second half as Bailey scored his first goal of the game at 45:33 on a pass from Brendan Howard that came from 30 yards outs. Shortly after, Jon Abraham scored the tie-breaker off of Gary Higgins' cornerkick.
Bailey's second goal came at 61:45 when he shot the ball from 40 yards out to put the Bears ahead 3-1. His final goal came off of another Higgins cornerkick at 88:38.
Goalkeeper, Jack Shaw faced just four shots, two of which were on target in the first half opposed to the 17 shots the Bears poured on in the second half. Shaw totaled two saves while allowing four goals while the Bears' keeper Tom Heath allowed one goal and saved one.
The Tornados will return to action on Wednesday when Mars Hill travels to Brevard for a 4 p.m. game.

affect baby during pregnancy
Hi, I used to be a cigarette smoker but I stopped just a year ago. Will this experience affect my baby when I get pregnant?

Smoking can affect fertility, but I suspect that your baby will just be fine with you having quit a year ago. As long as you are able to stay away from the cigarettes, you should have nothing to worry about.
Congratulations on kicking the habit!! Such a big achievement! I hope to hear a pregnancy announcement form you soon. =)

So wonderful that you were able to stop smoking. I would encourage you to do a very gentle cleanse to help move all of the poisons out of your body that you put into your body when you were smoking. This will help in creating healthy eggs which (along with healthy sperm) create truly healthy babies.
One way to do this is by including green smoothies in your diet every day. Here's a video that shows you how to make a green smoothie (and they taste yummy too!).

Feel the Heat: 13 Jalapeño Recipes
At Hong Kong's Yardbird, the cooks don't just cut up chicken thighs to skewer for yakitori: They separate the meat into several different muscles and grill each individually. "This allows each piece to be cooked at the same speed," says co-owner Lindsay Jang.

Last week was National Library Week. Our major event was Rick Bragg's visit on Tuesday evening as the climax of this year's Reading Together program.
An audience of about 800, most of whom had read at least one of his books, enjoyed hearing him tell his stories in his own voice. He talked about his dad, his parents' relationship, his extended family, growing up in the south. There was humor and sadness. He took questions from the audience and signed books for over an hour.
After the program, Rick said we were the first community reading program to do all three of his memoirs. He complimented our materials and said he'd be glad to come again, maybe after his next book, a novel, is published. We'd welcome having him again!
We'll soon have a video interview with him as well as photos of the event on our website.

Hate your halogen bulbs? I did too! HID H7 DIY Installation E90/E92
This was super easy and I'm a chick q; so I have confidence in you all. If your Bimmer's LCM isn't flashed for xenon/ bi-xenon (mine wasn't) this is what you need to do unless you go back to the stealership.
Let me know if you have any questions or if something isn't clear. I typically don't write up DIY Tutorials so don't be a meanie and make me
This is a repost of my original thread. I'm reposting this with the info in the body of the thread instead of just the attachment :thumbsup:
#1) Connects to Driver side headlight ballast.
#2) Connects to Passenger side ballast
#3) Grounded to the positive battery terminal in engine bay
#4) Grounded to the chassis (negative ground)
#5) Connects to the capacitors for the Driver side headlight
#6) Mounts anywhere away from area that will be hot
This Document is writing based on the following
Model Origin: USA
Make: BMW
Year: 2006
Model: 325i
Sub-model: Sedan
Chassis Code: E90
Engine Code: N52B25
Changing the bulbs
Remove the plastic panel in the wheel well by turning the 2 dials on the panels. Once you loosed the dials, push up and pull out.
You will see the dust cover for your low beams. There's a metal bracket holding it in place. Pull that metal bracket up and pull the dust cover down and out through the wheel well.
(In the picture below the wheel well panel was already removed. I used this picture so you can see the dust cover and the dust cover brackets in the picture but I took it once I installed the HIDs so yours will not have a hole with wiring coming out. I also circled the bracket that hold the dust cover in place )
Drill a small hole (about 1- 1 ¼" diameter) in the dust cover for the wires to be able to go through.
To remove your Halogen bulb remove the two metal brackets holding those in place by pushing them both in together (they bottom of the bracket is in a hole on each side of the light) and which pushing them together push up to release the tab at the top which helps hold the bracket in place.
(In the picture below I already removed the brackets that hold the bulb in place)
Remove the bulb by pulling it out of the housing and removing the OEM harness from the bulb. The bulb has 2 prongs that looks very similar to any USA household plug. Pull the bulb straight out while holding the OEM harness and being extra careful not to rip or damage it.
(The picture below I circled the OEM harness so you know what it will look like)
***Before we go further, FYI ***8594; never touch the HID bulbs directly unless you are wearing rubber gloves, and even then I wouldn't risk it. The natural oils in your skin short the life of the bulb tremendously***
Attached the 2 spade into the OEM harness, and put the HID bulb into the housing making sure it's aligned and won't fall out. It will feel loose when you put it in the housing . This is normal. Make sure when putting the bulb into the housing that it is aligned correctly. Also make sure to check the front of the headlight as well.
OEM Bulb
Checking the alignment from the front of the headlight
Replace the metal bracket that goes over the bulb. I put electrical tape over the back the of the bulb and bracket because they bulb felt loose. This helps prevent you to not ruin the alignment of the bulb while finishing the wiring that is attached to the bulb. To clarify, the electric tape is not necessary, to me it made it easier, however, you can install this kit perfectly fine without it.
Pull the 3 wires you are left with through the dust cover as well as the rubber seal and replace the dust cover over the back of the housing. Pull down the metal bracket to ensure its secure.
The rubber seal should be pushed up against the back of the dust cover hole to prevent moisture that will fog your headlights.
Replace the wheel well panel making sure the 3 wires are pulled up into the engine bay. If you don't you will have a hard time getting the out without having to go back and remove the wheel well panel.
The 3 wires that are coming out from the HID bulb through the dust cover that should be pulled up into your engine bay now need to be connected. There should be 2 male, 1 female and they will only fit by size to the corresponding part of the harness and ballast.
The 1st male goes into the load capacitor, the 2nd male and the female go into the ballast.
After those 3 wires are connected on both sides, looking at the engine bay, on the right-hand side..
***8594; Connect the other side of the ballast to wiring harness male #1 (see picture at the top of the wiring harness)
***8594; Connect load capacitor male to wiring harness female #5 (see picture at the top of the wiring harness)
Go to the left-hand side of the engine bay ..
***8594; Connect the other side of the ballast to wiring harness male #2 (see picture at the top of the wiring harness)
***8594; The load capacitor on passenger side connects to nothing
Time to ground the harness
Any time you work on electrical grounds in your car, I always recommend disconnecting the battery, which is located in the trunk. If you feel there is not chance you will hit the metal body in the engine (which will spark) then at your own risk, skip this step.
Disconnecting the battery ..
Using a 10mm socket wrench or ratchet driver, remove the nut, washer, and battery hold down plate. Pull up on the metal unit that connects over the negative terminal on the battery and wrap it with a towel so it doesn't fall, make a connection and restart the battery. You will notice the trunk light go out. Don't close the trunk or you will not have a easy time getting back in.
Now we are left with wiring harness grounds #'s 3 and 4
***8594; #3 of the wiring harness (see picture at the very top for the wiring harness wiring diagram) is red which is going to be grounded to the positive battery terminal in the engine bay. Remove water prevention cap over the positive terminal and using a 10mm wrench remove the nut and the wire that is currently connected. If the terminal ground is dirty, use acetone to clean it to ensure a strong connection. I put #3 of the wiring harness on the terminal first and then put the OEM harness that was originally connected over #3 of the wiring harness. The order of which wire is grounded to the terminal 1st and 2nd doesn't matter too much. I wanted to make sure it stayed in place since #3 of the wiring harness was smaller than the OEM wiring harness. Replace the nut back on the terminal, and put the black plastic water prevention cover back on.
(Circled below is the water prevention cover that is over the positive terminal in the engine bay)
Removing the water prevention cap
Red positive wire grounded to the positive terminal in engine bay
Grounded positive terminal, water prevention cap back on
..now to the chassis grounding
***8594; #4 of the wiring harness (see picture at the very top for the wiring harness wiring diagram) is black and will be grounded to the chassis ground in the engine bay, aka the negative ground. In order to access the chassis ground, we need to unclip the window washer fluid neck. Push in the tab and pull up the window washer fluid neck as shown in the picture. Pull back on the fluid neck so you can easily access the chassis ground. Using a 10mm socket wrench remove the nut over the chassis ground and remove the OEM wire harness that is currently connected. If the chassis ground is dirty, use acetone to clean it to ensure a strong connection. Ground #4 of the wiring harness, put the OEM wire harness back on the chassis ground, and replace the nut.
Washer fluid neck that must be unclipped and pulled back. Circled is the tab you pull on to unclip the neck.
Chassis grounding
Make sure the wires are flat against the grounds and the nuts are securely in place. If these steps were not done correctly it can causing a shortage in power, or cause the HIDs to flicker.
Mounted right hand driver side ballast
Mounted left hand passenger side ballast
I circled the picture above and below of where I grounded #6 (See very top of wiring harness wiring diagram) Please note it's not grounded to power.
Before HIDs
Finished Product
The positive wire doesn't normally stick out that much. I took this picture before I pushed it back more into the bottom on the engine bay

I saw the check eBay for bulb kit deal. No it's not a commercial posting. They sponsored me with the kit and many people have issues with the H7 bulbs. I cant guarantee this write up will work on any HID kit thats why I put that. Also the eBay kits have always misfired for me so I suggested a quality kit...

Ya know, Xenons are only about 12$ more a month in car payments when ordered....jus sayin'

-2017 Mazda CX-5 Grand Touring Soul Red Premium
I bought my car in cash doll. It may be only $12 more a month but the same headlight housing is used for Xenon and Halogen for BMWs so it was more of being able to customize how I want my car. I plan to do the high-beams with 7500k bulbs because I like the slight contrast. In my opinion, hints my opinion... the aftermarket kits (if you get a decent kit) tend to look better than OEM. I'm not judging anyones decision, just trying to help the rest of the Bimmer owners who didn't spend the $12/mo on xenon and now want to swap out their halogens for HIDs without having to get ripped off from the dealership when they quoted me $350 for my ECU to get flashed when it takes them only 15mins to flash it .
Why i dont see the pictures?

Deciding to quit drinking alcohol
Many people with drinking problems cannot tell when their drinking is out of control and controlling their life. Knowing what type of drinker you are may be the first step.
- Alcoholism is present in when your body depends on the alcohol to function and y our drinking is causing problems with your health, social life, family, or job. This means you are addicted to alcohol.
- Alcohol abuse is when your drinking is causing problems, but you are not physically addicted to alcohol.
Talk with your health care provider about your drinking. Your health care provider can help:
- You decide whether or not you are abusing alcohol or are dependent on alcohol ("an alcoholic")
- Guide you to the best treatment
Are You Ready to Change?
You may have tried to stop drinking alcohol many times in the past and feel you have no control over it. Or you may be thinking about stopping, but you're not sure you're ready to start.
Change takes place in stages over time. The first stage is being ready to change. You can learn from each of these important stages
- Thinking about the pros and cons of stopping drinking
- Making small changes and figuring out how to deal with the hard parts, such as what to do when you're in a situation where you would normally drink
- Stopping drinking
- Living an alcohol-free life
Many people go back and forth through the stages of change several times before the change really lasts. Know what you will do if you slip up. Try not to be discouraged.
Talk about your drinking with your health care provider, an alcohol counselor, your family, or your friends. Weigh the pros and cons of quitting with them.
Lifestyle Changes That Can Help
These tips will help you control your drinking:
- Stay away from people you normally drink with or places where you would drink.
- Plan activities you enjoy that do not involve drinking.
- Keep alcohol out of your home.
- Follow your plan to handle your urges to drink. Remind yourself why you decided to quit.
- Talk with someone you trust when you have the urge to drink.
- Create a polite but firm way of refusing a drink when you are offered one.
Getting Help from Others
After talking with you about your drinking, your health care provider will guide you to a program to help you quit drinking.
Your health care provider will:
- Ask if your feelings are making you drink
- Help you figure out what else about your life may be causing you to drink
The next step will be a referral to an alcohol support or recovery program.
- These programs teach people about alcohol abuse and its effects. They also offer counseling and support about how to stay away from alcohol.
- A support group where you can talk with others who have drinking problems is a key part.
Other places where you can find support are:
- People who are willing to listen and help. This may include trusted family members or friends who don't drink.
- Your place of work, which may have a program where you can seek help without needing to tell anyone at work about your drinking
- Alcoholics Anonymous (AA): www.aa.org
Alcohol Withdrawal
You may be at risk for symptoms of alcohol withdrawal if you stop drinking suddenly.You will likely need to be under medical care while you stop drinking if you are at risk for alcohol withdrawal.

WATCH: Drake discusses his dating history on 'Ellen'
Listen to Drake on iHeartRadio
Welcome to Five O'Clock Video, our choice for the day's best musical video—every weekday at 5 p.m. EST.
TGIFive o'clock on a Friday! Kudos to Ellen Degeneres for getting Drake to talk (very charmingly, we might add) about his mysterious love life. Ellen flashed pictures of five famous females on the screen, and poor Drizzy—who is now "single and ready to mingle—was instructed to speak on their romantic past (if one existed).
You've got to watch the video to fully comprehend Drake's winning akwardness, but here's the rundown.
"Great girl. We had our moment. Will always support and have love for her."
Nicki Minaj
"We haven't shared an intimate moment."
Tyra Banks
"I went on a date with her one time. One date. We went to Disneyland in disguise actually, which was fun. I don't know if it was a date, it was a get together, maybe. This is really bad…
Kim Kardashian
"No no no. What's going on here?"
Kat Dennings
"I just always had a crush on Kat Dennings. She was kind enough to oblige me and we went out for dinner. They don't call me back after one date, is what I'm learning…"

GSA Delivers FAS Organizational Plan To Congress
February 28, 2006
Contact: Neil Franz, (202) 501-1231
Washington, DC—The U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) announced today that it has delivered to Congress its plan for the proposed Federal Acquisition Service (FAS), a merger of the Federal Supply Service and the Federal Technology Service. The plan was delivered on February 27 to leaders of the House and Senate Appropriations Committees.
"We are being responsive to a request by our oversight committees to see our plan," said Acting GSA Administrator David L. Bibb. "We hope for a swift and positive reaction from Congress, so that we can take on the hard task of making the new FAS a reality."
This reorganization of the new main customer centers of the new FAS will include:
- Customer Accounts and Research (CAR). CAR will play a vital role helping FAS better understand customer requirements and become a strategic partner in helping agencies meet their requirements.
- Acquisition Management. The FAS emphasis on acquisition management will ensure that the services' activities are fully compliant with laws, regulations and policies, and that operating practices are consistent across business lines.
- Integrated Technology Services. This portfolio combines the existing information technology, some professional services, and telecommunications business lines.
- General Supplies and Services. This portfolio acquires a broad range of commercial products as well as some professional services, and GSA specialized logistics-based activities.
- Travel, Motor, Vehicle, and Card Services. This portfolio operates with respective supplier industries but shares commonalities for customers that provide opportunities for synergy and scale.
"The new FAS will improve support of agencies' internal management processes so they can concentrate on their core missions," said Acting FAS Commissioner G. Martin Wagner. "We will continue to offer programmatic expertise, acquisition excellence and the confidence that solutions are consistent with national policy. In addition, we will focus on helping agency management to be more effective by offering timely and effective solutions at excellent prices that are also easier to manage."
Once approved, the new FAS will provide value to the taxpayer by lowering the cost of government – by efficiently leveraging the government's buying power to obtain the best value in products and services from suppliers at the lowest total transaction cost. The new FAS will also increase value to commercial suppliers of all types and sizes, by creating consistent and innovative processes to offer their products and services to government agencies more efficiently.
GSA is a centralized, federal procurement, property management, policy development and information provision agency, created by Congress to improve government efficiency and help federal agencies better serve the public. In this role, GSA acquires products and services on behalf of federal agencies; plays a key role in developing and implementing government-wide policies; provides services and solutions for the office operations of more than one million federal workers; and encourages a citizen-centric relationship with government by providing a single "point of entry" to the information and services citizens need in a timeframe they can appreciate. This allows citizens to receive accurate, timely and consistent answers and information, and helps Federal agencies better respond to citizen inquiries.

From Chuck Colson:
Thanks very much for your question. I think I know where you are coming from, but I might change the question this way: How do we get people to quit mis-using the phrase "separation of church and state"? Because, in the end, Christians should support the separation of church and state.
Let's look at this history behind the phrase. In 1802, newly elected president Thomas Jefferson wrote a letter to the Danbury Baptist association of
Since that day,
Let's find out what
When our third President described the First Amendment as erecting a "wall of separation between Church and State," he was not inventing some new idea foreign to the rest of the founders.
In 1791, this conviction was enshrined in the Bill of Rights, which amended the Constitution to guarantee some of our most important "inalienable rights." First among these was the freedom of religion:
"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof..."
Though activist judges and legislators have tried for years to twist these words to ban religion from political life, an honest look at history shows how our Founding Fathers really felt about religion (particularly Christianity) in government.
Today's media and political elite scorn Americans for voting based on a candidate's moral values. But John Jay, the first chief justice of the U.S. Supreme Court, felt differently.
"[It] is the duty," he wrote, "as well as the privilege...of our Christian nation to select and prefer Christians for their rulers."
In July 2007, our current President told CBN news that "
"The general principles upon which the Fathers achieved independence were the general principals of Christianity....I will avow that I believed and now believe that those general principles of Christianity are as eternal and immutable as the existence and attributes of God."
In words which are today emblazoned on the walls of his memorial in
"God who gave us life gave us liberty. And can the liberties of a nation be thought secure when we have removed their only firm basis, a conviction in the minds of the people that these liberties are a gift from God?"
By 1962, the Supreme Court had declared Bible reading and school-sponsored prayers unconstitutional.
But back in 1779, George Washington expressed his position quite clearly.
"What students would learn in American schools above all is the religion of Jesus Christ."
So why did the same men who believed so deeply in the political value of Christianity fight and vote for an amendment that codified the "separation of church and state"?
Perhaps the author of this concept can explain it best. In his 1786
"[No] man shall be compelled to frequent or support any religious worship, place, or ministry whatsoever, nor shall be enforced, restrained, molested, or burthened [sic]...on account of his religious opinions or belief; but that all men shall be free to profess, and by argument to maintain, their opinions in matters of religion..."
In many ways, this radical idea which bore fruit in American political and religious tolerance began more than 1700 years earlier, when Jesus urged the religious leaders of His day to "render unto Caesar the things which are Caesar's, and unto God the things that are God's" (Mark 12:17).
Christianity stands apart as the only major faith that believes that because every individual human being is created in the image of God, freedom of religion is every human's right. Christianity alone also insists upon a distinction between the duties and powers of religion and state. The Bible makes it clear that both the Church and the Government have been instituted by God, and that each serves a unique and necessary purpose (Matthew 16:18, Romans 13:1).
In the past, well-meaning individuals have mixed Church and State, or allowed one institution to control the other. Today, judges and lawmakers seek to isolate the two by scrubbing religious references, ideas and even morals from public life—an extreme sentiment that the Founding Fathers clearly did not share.
But while we, as Christians, may find it frustrating how often the concept of Separation of Church and State is abused, we must resist the temptation to reject it altogether. After all, it is because of this radical idea and the men who were willing to die for it that we now enjoy the free exercise of religion. And it's this radical idea that Christians must always defend—especially nowadays, as you've heard me say many times on BreakPoint and my Two-Minute Warning, as the forces of secularism in the media, the courts, and now the government itself seek to suppress freedom of religion.
Thank God for the real meaning of "Separation of Church and State."
(Special thanks to BreakPoint intern Shane Morris for his help in developing this response.)Chuck Colson

Turning up the sex appeal, Carey Mulligan heats up the cover of the January 2012 issue of W magazine.
The 26-year-old actress adorns the publication's front page in a white bra topped with a provocatively pulled-down dress with a tagline reading "Carey Mulligan: Naughty But Nice - The star of Shame sheds her good-girl image."
"My character is the sort of person who would have no trouble being naked in front of her brother," the cover quote beneath the title adds, with the inside pages including a gorgeous Michael Thompson shot spread.
Meanwhile, highlights from Carey's "Shame" focused interview are as follows. For more, be sure to check out W!
On her intense full-frontal nude scene in "Shame":
"I've never been comfortable with the idea of nudity. I've done only seminude, very innocent things in the past, and I've always been of the quite British mind-set that I won't do gratuitous nudity. When it came to this, it just seemed so obvious that she is the sort of person who would have no trouble being naked in front of any family member, especially not her brother. She's an extrovert and wants to be seen. More than anything, she wants someone to acknowledge and help her. I thought I had a week before the nude scene to go to the gym, but we shot it on my first day of filming."
On being nude in the off-Broadway play "Through a Glass Darkly":
"No, I was topless in the play. In the script, she was naked, but I dreaded the idea of being naked onstage. When I've seen plays with actors who are nude, I've always thought, Gosh, that actor's naked. I wonder how they feel about being naked. Then two minutes later, you fall back into the play. Through a Glass Darkly is not very long, and I didn't want the audience to stop and think, Oh, she's naked—I wonder if she feels funny. So we modified it."
On whether she was theatrical as a child:
"Somewhat. I would put my earphones on and sing along to soundtracks of musicals like Les Misérables. I'd act it out in the mirror and cry. When I was 11 or 12, I asked my parents about going to a performing arts school, and they said no. Although I did audition to be a presenter on a TV show called Dig It."
On feeling confident playing a character who didn't worry about her appearance:
"I didn't have to worry about what I ate, or how much I drank, and I didn't have to work out. She was an alcoholic mess. She didn't have any money to dye her hair. I mean I didn't become an alcoholic, but I didn't have to watch myself. It was so much more exciting to play that character that didn't worry about her appearance in any way. I knew that when I stood up in that bath naked it wasn't about whether I looked good naked or not. It was about who she was."
On playing the suicide attempt scene:
"I was sitting there and this fake blood was pumping out of my arms and I was in this completely hopeless state with a kitchen knife next to me. And it was horrible, it was really horrible and I wasn't expecting it, it was a complete surprise, and I felt awful. It sounds so pretentious, but it just made me feel horrible. I felt devastated and I felt so sad. And I'm fine. I'm great and well adjusted and everything's cool, but just the idea of being that helpless and that lonely, it was just really sad. I got into the taxi at the end of the day and I couldn't stop crying."

"Now the God of patience and consolation grant you to be likeminded one toward another according to Christ Jesus: That ye may with one mind and one mouth glorify God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ." (Romans 15:5-6)
The wailing just kept going on and on. On and on and on and on!
It was like a siren in Cody's ears. He snapped his workbook shut and left it on the kitchen table. He found his mother in the nursery, rocking Travis. "Mom, how can I memorize my vocab words with all this noise? When will that baby ever stop crying?"
"Cody, I need you to be patient with the baby. He's just teething."
"But I've been patient with him for weeks now! I was patient with him last night. I was patient with him this morning. Now I can't even think, and I've got to take two tests tomorrow!"
"Waaaaaaaaaaah!" Travis wailed again, as if to mock him.
"That's the thing about patience, Cody. It's supposed to go on and on. Travis isn't old enough to control all of his responses. He just knows his gums hurt." She looked down at the baby, who was happy for the moment, chewing on a ring of plastic keys. "I understand why it bothers you, Cody. And you could ask your dad for a pair of his hunting earplugs – if that would help. But unlike this little baby, you are old enough to control your emotions, and you are able to keep on being patient with someone who isn't there yet."
This story about Cody learning to put up with his loud little brother might sound kind of familiar to many of us. You may not have a teething baby in your house, but you probably know what it is like to have to spend time with someone who has annoying habits or with someone who is just plain grouchy!
Maybe your situation is more serious than Cody's. Maybe you are living with a confused grandparent who cannot even remember your name from day to day. Maybe your dad has to travel away from home for weeks and weeks for his job. Maybe no one in your family even has a job and there is not enough money for groceries every week. Maybe one day your church family will face persecution and torture for believing the Bible and for trying to live out what it says.
You probably know what it is like to get so irritated that you cannot stand one more second of a situation – whether it is sharing a bedroom, losing another ball game, hearing another mean comment about your appearance, failing another math test, or getting another cancer treatment.
Jesus Christ taught that the two greatest commandments are: (1) Love the Lord your God with all your heart, and (2) Love your neighbor as yourself. These are the two things God expects of us, because they cover all the rest of the Law. If we are able to obey these commandments, we will have a right relationship with God and a right relationship with human beings. Unfortunately, we find that these are probably the two hardest commandments for us to obey!
When we have a one-time crisis, that's one thing. When we know something is going to last only for a short time, we can "be patient" for a little while. If we can see "the light at the end of the tunnel," it is a lot easier to love and glorify the God Who put us in that tunnel. It is a lot easier to love and put up with the people around us.
But, as Cody's mom pointed out to him, it takes patience to keep on enduring a hard situation when it seems like it will never end. The apostle Paul writes a prayer in Romans 15:5-6. "Now the God of patience and consolation grant you to be likeminded one toward another according to Christ Jesus: That ye may with one mind and one mouth glorify God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ."
That word "patience" is the idea of "endurance" or "perseverance," which means being able to keep on going, keep on doing right, on and on. That word "consolation" is the idea of "emotional support" or "comfort." When we find it is hard to control our responses, perseverance is the ability God can give us – to keep on studying in spite of distractions, to keep on putting up with a difficult person, to keep on rejoicing even in painful trials.
Cody was fed up! He did not think he had it in him to take one more second of the baby's crying. We are not able, on our own, to be patient for long periods of time. We are not the source of perseverance and comfort. God is. We do not have it in us, on our own, to keep on glorifying and loving God when He sends hard trials into our lives. We do not have it in us, on our own, to keep on loving people even when they are hard to love. But God does. God's patience and consolation goes on and on, on and on!
God is the greatest Source of patience and consolation. Ask Him to give you what you need to glorify Him and to love His people no matter what.
My Response:» What kinds of things cause me to lose patience? » Do I go to God when I need perseverance and comfort?
"The less we read the Word of God, the less we desire to read it, and the less we pray, the less we desire to pray."
Born in Prussia on September 27, 1805, George Müller began running from God at an early age. By the time he was 10, he was stealing money from his father, and by age 16, he had already spent time in jail for failing to pay his bills. When he went to college, he was not serious about studying, and he was not kind to his classmates.
He was known as a "prodigal son" until God changed his life. At age 20, George became convicted of his sins and trusted Jesus Christ to save him from them. He said this about his conversion:
At last I saw Christ as my Saviour. I believed in Him and gave myself to Him. The burden rolled from off me, and a great love for Christ filled my soul. I loved Jesus Christ then, but I loved Him more the year after, and more the year after that, and more every year since.
George Müller committed his life to Christ and became known as the "praying preacher" – a man whose prayers seemed to "reach heaven" every time. Early in his ministry, he decided never to tell anyone what needs he had. Instead, he prayed and trusted God to take care of him. During his life, he wrote down over 50,000 specific prayer requests that were answered by God.
George Müller is known as the greatest example of reliance on God. Together with his wife, Mary, George established orphanages around the world that cared for 100,000 children. He also spent seventeen years as a missionary and learned three different languages.
It happened frequently that the Müllers' orphanages would receive food donations on the very same morning they ran out of things to eat. Money was often donated at the moment the bills needed to be paid.
How has God turned your life around since you trusted Him? Do you love Him more each day? Are you trusting Him to take care of your needs? Is God the first One you turn to when you're in need, or do you ask everybody else for help first? God delights in meeting the needs of His children.
Philippians 4:19 – And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.
A Certain Nobleman
Luke 19:12 "He said therefore, A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return."
Yes, because they are all God.
The Biblical word "glorification" means that each believer will one day be given a perfect resurrected body like Christ's. Those who trust Christ will experience victory over the death that was caused by the fall of Adam and Eve. 1 Corinthians 15:26 – "The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death."

Although researchers began looking at the effects of isolation on people in the late 1970s, studies on isolation have become more common in the past 15 years. Discovering how isolation contributes to the hunger, housing and income problems many seniors face — and seeking workable solutions to those problems — is the task of AARP Foundation's Isolation Impact team. Below is a sample of the research findings on isolation:
It's Not a Disease
1. The need for social connection is rooted in our basic urge to survive, and is wired into the neurons in our brains. As we evolved from relatively weak, small mammals, we became a dominant species because of our ability to form social connections and because our brains expanded to meet this need.
2. Isolation is not a mental disease, but a situation that can and does lead to health changes. Health studies show that older, isolated people have much higher rates of mortality from breast cancer, high blood pressure, heart disease and other chronic diseases. According to researchers, being isolated is just as bad for people as smoking and is worse than being obese.
How Isolation Develops
3. Caregiving often triggers isolation. The number of people providing unpaid care for a friend or relative rose 23 percent — to 54 million — from 2004 to 2009, and that number continues to grow. Caregivers often work by themselves, and more than half (53 percent) say they have less time for friends and family. All too often, they don't call doctors when they are sick, and they have little or no time to exercise or eat well. Studies show that up to 70 percent of caregivers have clinically significant symptoms of depression.
4. People don't have as many close friends as they used to. In 1985, researchers at the University of Arizona and Duke University asked people how many "close contacts" they had — friends who they could confide in — and their overall average was three. Nearly 20 years later, in 2004, that number had declined to two. Even worse, the number of people who had no close contacts rose from 10 percent to 24.5 percent — nearly one in every four people had no friends to confide in.

On "The Point," Hyman falsely claimed ACLU "abhors individual religious freedom"
On the March 31 edition [1] of "The Point," Sinclair Broadcast Group commentator Mark Hyman falsely attacked the American Civil Liberties Union, claiming: "Not unlike the Communist Chinese, the ACLU abhors individual religious freedom, and it supports only those civil liberties that fit its narrow political agenda."
In fact, the ACLU has supported religious freedom on numerous occasions, including the following:
- The ACLU joined [2] with the Rev. Jerry Falwell to successfully challenge the constitutionality of a Virginia law that prevented churches from incorporating, on the grounds that the law "violate[d] the U.S. Constitution's guarantee of free exercise of religion."
- In June, 2004, the ACLU threatened [3] legal action against a park manager who had not permitted a Baptist church to perform a baptism in a Stafford County, Virginia, public park.
- After the U.S. Supreme Court rejected an argument by two American Indians that their use of the hallucinogen peyote was protected under the First Amendment (Employment Division v. Smith [4], 1990), the ACLU joined a number of other secular and religious organizations in requesting a rehearing of the case.
- According to a September 22, 2000, press release [5], the ACLU "heralded President Clinton's plan to sign into law today legislation that will protect religious freedom from unfair government restrictions."
In addition, while Hyman did not offer a definition of "individual religious freedom," the ACLU website presents the group's definition [6]: "The free exercise clause of the First Amendment guarantees the right to practice one's religion free of government interference. The establishment clause requires the separation of church and state. Combined, they ensure religious liberty." The website also declares the group's intention to protect religious liberty: "The ACLU will continue working to ensure that religious liberty is protected by keeping the government out of the religion business."
The ACLU website lists numerous instances [7] in which it has defended the religious liberty of individuals and organizations.
Media Matters for America leads SinclairAction.com [8], a coalition of groups and individuals protesting Sinclair's continued misuse of public airwaves to broadcast one-sided, politically charged programming without a counterpoint.

Overactive kid
My 5-year old kid is very active from start until the end of the day. She doesn't even get a nap at noon. In school, her teacher often scold her because she keeps on shouting and running around the class.
What is the best way to treat hyperactive kids and is there a chance for her to change her behavior?

Hi Leslie,
One of the best "first steps" you can do to help your active daughter is to look at her diet to find out which foods are contributing to her hyperactivity.
Children who eat foods high in sugar, and refined carbohydrates like white rice and white flour products can experience a drop in blood sugar levels which can make them hyperactive. Many parents find it really easy to offer their children crackers, cookies biscuits, juice or soda as inexpensive, quick snacks. This is not good for a variety of reasons.
During the formative years (up through age five) your child is learning the foods they will gravitate towards for the rest of their life. If you are feeding your child fresh fruits and vegetables with quality protein, and severely limiting sugar and white flour products as "once a week treats" your child will prefer the higher quality, nutrient dense foods as they grow up. Conversely, if they are given crackers, cookies and biscuits each day, they will prefer these as they get older and it will be more of a challenge for them to change the way they eat later.
Foods that are high in sugar or white flour can trigger the release of "stress" hormones which are involved in the "fight or flight" response. These hormones make us fidgety, irritable and anxious — certainly not something that we want to occur in our young children who are already rambunctious by nature.
Some children are sensitive to food coloring which can also contribute to hyperactivity.
I would transition your child to a diet that has very little sugar (make it a treat once a week or so) and greatly reduce the intake of grains like rice, corn chips, potato chips, and especially wheat. A little rice each day is fine, but transitioning to brown rice is going to help with blood sugar control.
You will find food coloring to be hiding mostly in pre-packaged or canned foods on the grocery store shelves. I've found that most pickle relish has food coloring, but I have found a couple of brands that does not. I always choose the brand without food coloring when possible.
As a good rule, avoid purchasing foods that come in cans, jars or packages at the store. Anything with a shelf life more than about a week is going to be much lower in nutrients than a food that has a shelf life of less than a week. Focus on fruits, vegetables and fresh eggs, fish and meat. Add some foods high in essential fatty acids like walnuts, salmon and flax seeds. If your daughter does well on milk products, adding in some whole fat cheese or cottage cheese can also be helpful.
Children love smoothies, and it is a great way to sneak some extra fruits and vegetables into their diet.
Here's a video of a 5 year old who wouldn't look at a fruit or vegetable. Now he makes his own raw food smoothies!
Please post back and let us know what your child usually eats and if there are some changes you think you could make that may help to balance her blood sugar and hormone levels better.
Warm Regards,

Thank you so much Kate. Your advice is really helpful. I didn't know that foods high in sugar and white rice cause hyperactivity. I also give her crackers and bottled juice for snack specially in school.
Now I know what kind of food or snack I should give to my kids. Thank you so much for the information.

Hi Leslie,
Here are some healthy snack ideas to send in children's lunches.
"Ants on a log" - this is celery stuffed with peanut butter and topped with raisins. Children often enjoy eating what they make, so let her help you make them (make enough for a week) and then she can help wrap them or put them in lunch containers. At the age of 5, children can do a lot more than most mums think they can, and working with you in the kitchen is going to provide an opportunity for bonding, along with training your daughter to enjoy cooking.
Carrot sticks, Jicama sticks (my favorite and something I was introduced to in grade school), and celery sticks can be packed up with a little container of dip or salad dressing. The dip or dressing may not be the healthiest, but if it helps your daughter to enjoy her vegetables, it's worth a try. Some healthy dips would include hummus, peanut butter (or peanut butter with a bit of honey) or mashed avocado (think guacamole).
Deviled eggs or hard boiled eggs will satisfy a child who is craving protein.
Sliced pears, apples, oranges or any other fruit/berries are healthy and sweet, which will help to satisfy a craving for sweets. Start training your daughter to recognize fruit as dessert, if you find that eating too much of it makes her hyperactive.
Serve almond butter instead of peanut butter to pack more nutrients into a snack. If you need to transition her from peanut butter to almond butter, start with adding just a little almond butter to the peanut butter, and gradually, over time reduce the peanut butter until she's eating all almond butter.
Almonds are high in magnesium, offering 48% of the required daily value. Magnesium is calming on the body, and most people are deficient in magnesium. Peanuts offer 38% of the daily value of magnesium, so almonds are better. Peanuts also tend to cause problems with people who are sensitive to molds, whereas almonds do not. You may even want to try transitioning your daughter to almond milk rather than cow's milk and see if that makes a difference in her hyperactivity.
Thinly sliced cucumber and carrots can be wrapped with sliced roast beef or turkey. Just place the cucumber and carrots in the center of a piece of meat, and roll it up.
Here's a pinterest page that shows lots of pictures of healthy snacks for children. I found some fun ideas there, but be careful that you don't assume all the snacks are healthy. What's healthy to one person may not be healthy at all to another.
Children love making their own sandwiches. If you are limiting the bread to one piece a day, send one piece of bread, a plastic knife, some peanut butter and a banana. She can create her own sandwich by spreading the bread with the peanut butter, and slicing the banana (with the plastic knife) into slices she can put on her sandwich.
Hope this gives you some new, healthy ideas for snacks and school lunches.
Warm Regards,

Cant wait for the day I see someone with a big fuckoff SPORTS DIRECT sponsor logo on the arse of their fight shorts
Cant wait for the day I see someone with a big fuckoff SPORTS DIRECT sponsor logo on the arse of their fight shorts
No,but I have bought a few bits from there in the past- earguard,compression shorts etc. Got a few tapout tshirts as well,dont arse me 1 bit as its all gym gear that i wear in 1 place. Tattooed pitbulls bumming wargods-type design is down to peoples preference,but Tapout still make good quality gear and they do actually make some designs that wont get you laughed out the gym. Round Asda is a bit thingy though-for shopping its head to toe affliction n' Ed Hardy.
I have aload of training gear pre sports direct which i still wear now. The quality is a hell of alot better than the sports direct gear but people just assume ive bought it all from sports direct. I also still have a white tapout hoody which my brother bought me from new york its my fav hoody but i dont wear it as much because people just assume its a sports direct cheapo
Yea man I mean I refuse to buy the top end gear. I don't wear any mma brands outside of training as there are that many fakes and wannabes these days I guess im afraid of been tagged as one myself by folks who don't know me. I am starting to form a decent collection of shorts and rash guards though cant help myself lol.
I wear it I don't care, I'm wearing a Tapout cap RIGHT NOW
http://www.facebook.com/craig.st.clair666 ME
"That was how i got my first soapy titwank!
Listening is cool and shit." BlackdogMMA
I like Tapout stuff, have picked a few bits up from Sports Direct - decent quality and it's cheap. Certainly not a "wannabe" as one look at me would make anybody quite aware that I have no connection with the sport aside from a love of it. Same reason nobody would think I was a footballer just because I occasionally walk around in a Portsmouth shirt.
My Nephew who is 8 now has a few tapout hoodies n stuff, must say, it hasnt made him any tougher, I still battered him the other night!
Sig awaiting witty quote from someone.
It's all I can afford these days, serves a purpose and if I'm honest i Kinda like the fit of some of their stuff!!!
Don't Take Life Too Serious Or You'll Die Stressed!!!
Man; it should be all about the TapouT. Throwback to the early UFC days and if not then wear Adidas swimming trunks; early Pride days. Can't go wrong. How Adidas never sponsored the Emalianenko brothers is beyond me.
