Whilst eating my breakfast I looked down at my bowl of plain Cheerios and decided they would taste a whole lot better covered in sugar, and they sure did. But when I fill out my food journal I have selective amnesia and only jot down the Cheerios, not the scoops of sugar.
Here are other ways I lie to myself:
-Gummy Multivitamins. Sugar tricks my brain.
-Running with my dog. She's stops numerous time so it's more like a jog or a brisk walk.
-Lowfat yogurt. When I eat the whole carton in one sitting it doesn't really matter if it's low-fat.
-Thinking, "Tonight I'll only have 1 margarita." Yeah, right!

That's like me with pizza. As long as I blot the oil with a paper towel,then 2 slices are justified!!
Can't believe you eat so much sugar. How many sugars did you put in your coffee??! Good thing you gave it up.

I'd have to agree with the person above me.
No, but seriously.. Cheerios with sugar is DE-LICIOUS! I always eat it like that :)

Natural solutions should always be the first weapon for pest control; however there are times when a commercial pesticide is necessary. These tips are simple, common sense ways to maximize pest control and lessen the environmental impact.
As the weather gets warmer and spring starts to touch all over the country, our thoughts turn to gardening. Starting seeds indoors gives a jump start on the spring season planting.
Spring is about to pop, is your garden ready? From creating a color story to giving your garden a fresh cut, let us take the guesswork out of gardening with five simple Spring gardening tips.
The manicured lawns and the gorgeous plantings around the grounds at Wimbledon serve as a unique garden style inspiration.
"Only two things that money can't buy. That's true love and homegrown tomatoes."
Guy Clark
"If you love it you will prune it." My garden friend's father says this and I have to say it is pretty sound gardening advice. Most plants, especially shrubs and woody perennials can benefit from a strong pruning.
You can banish the memory of a single geranium in a pot on the front porch! Today's containers are overflowing with annuals, perennials, edibles, succulents and more! Container gardening continues to soar in popularity. It's ideal for balconies, windowsills, patios and decks as well as it can add unique combination plantings throughout the landscape.
I first fell for azaleas watching the Masters Golf Tournament every April. The landscaped areas of Augusta National in Georgia are overflowing with exquisite azaleas that pop on camera and in person. Sure, Augusta has professionals tending their azaleas but home gardeners can get the look with repeat super bloomer azalea varieties - Always Azaleas™ in Smart & Stylish Shrubs™ from the HGTV HOME Plant Collection.
Q: Gardener from Henrico, VA asked... I haven't pruned my hydrangeas or azaleas since this past September. Can I do it now?
Q: What is the earliest time you can start planting in the spring/after frost free day? How do you know what your frost free day is?
Now that is the million dollar question isn't it? We're always so itchy for spring to come that we often times plant sooner than we should. You can plant early you just have to be prepared for frost and freeze warning and be willing to cover your plants so they are not lost, causing one to replant.
Don't Be Shy: Cut These Plants Back Before Spring!
March is an ideal time to cut back the following garden plants. It is a much easier task before the new growth appears.
Tips for your late winter landscape and getting ready for spring. (pictured: Anne's Red™ Hellebore)
Proper watering is as essential as adequate sunlight and fertilizer for plants to thrive, so always quench their thirst. Water plants slowly and evenly until water runs out the bottom of the pot or container or until the soil is soaked but not saturated around a bedding plant. Allow the soil the dry out a bit before re-watering.
Once this lovely genera makes it way to retail shelves, we know that Christmas is close. What's next though? What is needed for it to remain healthy long after Santa has returned to the North Pole?
Christmas Cactus, also known as Schlumbergera or Zygocactus, is often referred to by its common name because it starts to perform and bloom during the holiday season. These nostalgic plants are often passed down through families by propagation or mature plants.
Cyclamen come in a beautiful range of colors from bright pink to soft white and several colors in between. The foliage is dark green with beautiful heart-shaped patterns in either silver or white with some having gorgeous variegation. Like any plants, purchase those that have numerous buds rather than fully open flowers; resulting in more flowering while the plant is in your possession.

Slavery and pet application
A pet app
I do not agree with this. There is an application on tagged, a game rather, where you are 'owned' by someone and treated like an animal. Is that right? I do not go along with it, especially considering that some weird guy was 'buying me'. Is this right? No. I was the number one pet, and I do not like being treated like a thing. What has this world come to. I thought slavery was done with several decades, many centuries ago. :(
Anyway It is just a silly thing to gain popularity I guess. life is weird and the Internet gets weirder all the time.

Exhibit producers and chip brands throughout the world have acknowledged the trend towards acceptance of touchscreens to be a very attractive consumer interface ingredient and also have begun to combine touchscreens into the basic structure of their products and solutions.
A new tactic named "carry-off strategy"[24] was launched by researchers at the University of Maryland Human – Personal computer Conversation Lab and is still made use of today. As buyers touch the screen, feedback is supplied regarding what will be chosen, customers can adjust the position on the finger, plus the motion can take position only once the finger is lifted from the screen. This allowed the choice of small targets, down to an individual pixel with a VGA screen (normal best of enough time).
Even When you have under no circumstances heard about capacitive touch screens, you are actually utilizing them at any time since you picked up your initial smartphone or tablet.
[56] Enabling the user to relaxation their hand or arm on the input product or a frame all over it is an answer for this in many contexts. This phenomenon is often cited to be a prima facie example of what never to do in ergonomics.
Capacitive touchscreens do not automatically should be operated by a finger, but till a short while ago the Unique styli needed may very well be very high priced to invest in.
Infrared sensors mounted round the Screen watch for a person's touchscreen input on this PLATO V terminal in 1981. The monochromatic plasma Exhibit's characteristic orange glow is illustrated.
Unsupported touchscreens are still reasonably typical in applications for instance ATMs and info kiosks, but aren't an issue as The everyday consumer only engages for brief and extensively spaced periods.[fifty seven]
Cypress's CapSense® portfolio provides extremely-small power devices which can be enabled by Cypress SmartSense™, a sophisticated Capacitive Sensing automobile-tuning algorithm that "just performs" by adapting to environmental variations. On top of that, the CapSense® portfolio features the Field's article source most effective liquid tolerance and proximity sensing alternatives.
In Each and every case, the procedure decides the intended command depending on the controls displaying around the screen at some time and the location of your touch.
When One additional reading more electrical conductor, just like a bare fingertip or even a stylus, our website touches the area, an electric circuit is done at that area. Sensors Related Site embedded in the glass then detect The placement of the circulation of Our site present, and that is then registered as a touch function.
Touch-delicate Management-Screen Units (CDUs) had been evaluated for industrial aircraft flight decks within the early 1980s. Original exploration confirmed that a touch interface would cut back pilot workload since the crew could then decide on waypoints, functions and actions, rather than be "head down" typing in latitudes, longitudes, and waypoint codes on a keyboard.
High quality high-quality supplies are procured from set up suppliers for producing these product. We subject these solution to assessments based upon multiple parameters to make sure that the desired good quality criteria are managed.
An easy parallel plate capacitor has two conductors separated by a dielectric layer. A lot of the Electricity in This method is concentrated directly between the plates. Some of the energy spills around into the region exterior the plates, and the electrical discipline traces connected with this effect are called fringing fields. Part of the obstacle of creating a functional capacitive sensor would be to design a list of printed circuit traces which immediate fringing fields into an Energetic sensing location accessible into a user.
Compared with capacitive touchscreens, infrared touchscreens do not need any patterning about the glass which increases sturdiness and optical clarity of the overall technique. Infrared touchscreens are delicate to Filth/dust that can interfere Using the IR beams, and are afflicted by parallax in curved surfaces and accidental press if the consumer hovers his/her finger in excess of the screen when attempting to find the product to generally be selected.

Inner Peace woven within the fibers of ones self.
How can I let you slip away because of the way one feels about my peace?
The question is not did I loose my peace, but why did I let you get in to tamper with mine. See, people come with all kinds of issues and I am most certain of my own, but we are never really sure of anyone else's (stuff). So we let them into our lives and we give them access to our heats to only find out that they have been manipulating us and tangled us up into the web of issues. Again, we are speaking on inner peace. The issues is not do we have them, oh yeah we all have issues, But we have to make other's accountable for they way they deal with us.
What I learned through trial and a whole lot of error is this, DO NOT LET ANYONE ELSE'S EMOTIONS CONTROL YOU! See, people have a bad habit of projecting their hurt, insecurity, pain, misunderstanding, etc. off themselves and on to you, as if it were a gift to us, because it is to heavy to carry (ALONE). That is why people make you feel as if you caused the flood of emotions, or confusion. In this new year I myself am determined NOT to carry what is not mine. So stay away from those who have heavy bags of mistrust, insecurity, jealousy, hatred and the list goes on.
Why am I staying away from these kind of people,?One, because it is unhealthy for others to carry to emotional burden of another when those type of people take no accountability for their issues. Two, I need inner peace, because where your going their bags are too heavy to board your plane. I am determined to soar to new heights in 2018 and my issues are heavy enough. I will be packing light from now on. We all want to help out in any way that we can but we do not have to be the sacrifice.
Stay emotional healthy, stay focused, stay aware & most of all Live on purpose with freedom

LIVE FACE ON WEB, LLC, a Pennsylvania company, Plaintiff,v.KAM DEVELOPMENT, L.L.C. d/b/a, GREEN ENERGY AIR SEALING, an Illinois company, and KIMBERLY RADOSTITS, an individual, Defendants.
CHARLES P. KOCORAS, District Judge
matter comes before the Court on Defendants' KAM
Development, L.L.C., ("KAM Development") doing
business as Green Energy Air Sealing, and Kimberly Radostits
("Radostits") (collectively,
"Defendants") motion to dismiss, pursuant to
Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12(b)(6), Plaintiff Live Face
on Web, LLC's ("LFOW") Complaint. LFOW
opposes the motion, and alternatively, seeks leave to amend
the Complaint. For the following reasons, the motion is
granted in part and denied in part. LFOW is granted
twenty-one days to amend the Complaint consistent with this
purposes of the instant motion, the following well-pleaded
allegations derived from LFOW's Complaint are accepted as
true and the Court draws all reasonable inferences in
LFOW's favor. See Tamayo v. Blagojevich, 526
F.3d 1074, 1081 (7th Cir. 2008). "LFOW is a developer
and owner of 'live person' software, which is an
original work of authorship independently created by
LFOW." LFOW's software "allows a company to
display a video of a 'walking' and
'talking' personal host who introduces a website to
an online visitor, " and "explains a
company's products and/or services and directs a
visitor's attention to a particular product or aspect of
the website." LFOW's software uses "a real
spokesperson to capture, hold and prolong the attention of
the average online visitor" to enhance a customer's
website. Companies can "customize and [ ] modify
settings and functionality of the web spokesperson."
LFOW charges customers a license fee and its software is
subject to an "End User License Agreement
('EULA')." Since October 2007, "anyone
who accessed" LFOW's software "had notice of
the EULA." "[O]n December 20, 2007, LFOW [ ]
registered the copyright in the LFOW Software version 7.0.0,
prior to the publication of version 7.0.0, in the United
States Copyright Office" and received a certificate of
registration from the Register of Copyrights.
alleges that Defendants "own, and/or have operated
and/or have controlled the website
http://www.greenenergyairsealing.com." LFOW claims that
"Defendants have used a web spokesperson video to
promote [their] products and/or services, " and that
"in order to display the web spokesperson, " on
their website, "Defendants used and distributed,
without permission, " LFOW's software. LFOW further
alleges that "Defendants copied and stored an
infringing version of the LFOW Software on the webserver(s)
for" their website. To implement the supposedly
infringing version of LFOW's software, Defendants
allegedly modified their website to include a specific
"source code and/or text, " which apparently
linked "the Defendants' website to the file
'newplayer.js, ' an infringing version of the LFOW
Software." LFOW claims that every time "a web
browser retrieved a page from Defendants' website,
" Defendants distributed a copy of LFOW's software
to the website visitor, which was stored on the visitor's
computer. Thus, LFOW asserts, "each visit to the
Defendants' website was a new act of copyright
to LFOW, Defendants never paid the applicable license and
video production fees when it used LFOW's software.
Allegedly, "Defendants have caused, enabled,
facilitated, and/or materially contributed to the
infringement, " by distributing copies of LFOW's
software to each website visitor. Although Defendants
allegedly own, operate, and/or control their website, and
supposedly have "the right and ability to supervise and
control the infringement, " they "refused to
exercise their ability to stop the infringement."
Moreover, LFOW claims that Defendants acted with
"reckless disregard for, or [with] willful blindness to
LFOW's rights" when it "initiated or
continued the infringing conduct with knowledge of the
also alleges that "Defendants profited directly from
and have a direct financial interest in the infringement,
" because LFOW's software "allowed Defendants
to more effectively promote and sell their products and/or
services by capturing, holding and prolonging the attention
of the average online visitor, providing a direct positive
impact on sales and/or the brand, public image and reputation
of Defendants." LFOW also claims that Defendants used
the infringing version of its software "to generate
revenues and profits, " while LFOW suffered "loss
of licensing revenue." Consequently, LFOW filed a
one-count Complaint against Defendants pursuant to 17 U.S.C.
§ 501, alleging "direct, indirect, and/or
vicarious infringement of registered copyrights."
motion to dismiss pursuant to Rule 12(b)(6) "tests the
sufficiency of the complaint, not the merits of the
case." McReynolds v. Merrill Lynch & Co.,
694 F.3d 873, 878 (7th Cir. 2012). The allegations in a
complaint must set forth a "short and plain statement
of the claim showing that the pleader is entitled to
relief." Fed.R.Civ.P. 8(a)(2). A plaintiff need not
provide detailed factual allegations, but must provide enough
factual support to raise his right to relief above a
speculative level. Bell Atl. Corp. v. Twombly, 550
U.S. 544, 555 (2007). A claim must be facially plausible,
meaning that the pleadings must "allow[ ] the court to
draw the reasonable inference that the defendant is liable
for the misconduct alleged." Ashcroft v.
Iqbal, 556 U.S. 662, 678 (2009). The claim must be
described "in sufficient detail to give the defendant
'fair notice of what the . . . claim is and the grounds
upon which it rests.'" E.E.O.C. v. Concentra
Health Servs., Inc., 496 F.3d 773, 776 (7th
Cir. 2007) (quoting Twombly, 550 U.S. at 555).
Direct Copyright Infringement
establish a claim for direct copyright infringement, LFOW
must allege: "(1) ownership of a valid copyright, and
(2) copying of constituent elements of the work that are
original." Feist Publ'ns, Inc. v. Rural Tel.
Serv. Co., 499 U.S. 340, 361 (1991). Defendants do not
challenge that LFOW owns a valid copyright. Rather,
Defendants contend that LFOW failed to sufficiently plead the
second element of direct infringement. Specifically,
Defendants argue that LFOW fails to allege "that KAM
ever had 'access to' or the opportunity to view the
actual 'expression' of the software in question,
namely any of the sets of statements or instructions
allegedly owned by LFOW." Without such allegations,
they claim, "there cannot be any inference of copying,
" and thus, "no claim of copyright
infringement." Conversely, LFOW contends that
Defendants erroneously argue that it had to allege that
Defendants had "access to" LFOW's copyrighted
work. Moreover, according to LFOW, at this stage of the
litigation, the allegations in the Complaint are sufficient
to state a claim for copyright infringement.
Seventh Circuit has acknowledged that:
The standard for copying is surprisingly muddled. Where
direct evidence, such as an admission of copying, is not
available . . ., a plaintiff may prove copying by showing
that the defendant had the opportunity to copy the original
(often called 'access') and that the two works are
'substantially similar, ' thus permitting an
inference that the defendant actually did copy the original.

Pandemic Iberia [Board Game, 2-4 Players]
In stock
Create an Account - We'll email you a code for 10% off!
In the Pandemic Iberia board game from Z-Man games and Asmodee, the year is 1848, and diseases are spreading fast under the burning sun of the Iberian Peninsula.
Take on the roles of a nurse, a railway man, and a rural doctor, among many others, and work as a team to push back the new threats that are malaria, typhus, cholera, and the yellow fever.
From Barcelona to Lisboa, travel by carriage, by boat, or by train, and help the Iberian populace by developing railways and distributing purified water in this new version of Pandemic.
- The game comes with two variants that can be added.
- Influx of Patients : the cubes, representing patients, will tend to flock to hospitals to try to get cured. Hospitals also are a bit more powerful.
- Historical Diseases : instead of being generic, each disease has a specific power to better represent what it is (Malaria, Cholera, Yellow Fever etc.)

Pilot Shortage Deepens, USAF is SCREWED.
ViperMan replied to ClearedHot's topic in General DiscussionGod-damned poetry.
Not sure that's the best plan 'B' given the reason dudes were bailing when staring down Holloman, but, hey, what do I know? Hopefully we'll learn from our mistakes. How's about a det at Miramar or MacDill? Location, location, location. Good ramp space, airspace (on paper), etc, mean NOTHING when it comes to your after work life. Could have asked me and I would have told them the same thing, probably could have saved them a few hundred million dollars in the process, too. Oh well.
Not sure, but in the long term, they will get them from where they currently come from. Moving from Holloman to Kelly will at least slow the bleeding, which is part of the equation.
Copy. Quarter mil. Show me the money.
Why promote a Lt to Capt to do the same job? I had wings as a 1st Lt, so we're all good right? We all know that enlisted can fly airplanes (no sarcasm), but this is a different flavor of the same argument which suggests that enlisted pilots are a solution to our manning crisis - why pay someone less to do the same job? Does being a General in today's Air Force mean all that much to you now that we all understand the HPO system and the behind-the-scenes of how one makes it to that level in our organization? I would argue that rank has already diminished in importance because it isn't doled out in an egalitarian fashion in our organization, and if you walk around any flying squadron (at least in the fighter world), you'll see that general attitude. People's quals make a bigger difference than the color rank they've stitched on their shoulders. That's one side of the coin. On the other hand, you could argue that rank is a reflection of someone's responsibility (in many cases it is). So someone who has likely achieved every qualification the Air Force has to offer, and has spent a career doing the actual dirty work of the Air Force, not being a "leader" or signing OPRs, or getting selected for some special "development" program, is likely a better candidate to wear higher rank than someone who reads "books" by "authors". I could also make the argument that because the retirement of a Lt Col is worth about a 1/2 million more than that of a Maj, they deserve to be promoted to that level as well. Especially considering that the cumulative risk a career flyer has assumed is much greater than someone who pinned on wings, flew for one or two assignments, and then spent the next 12 years in "school". That person has served our country to a greater extent than a school-weenie, and should be compensated appropriately. Here's an idea: get rid of flight pay and increase my pay scale so I'm compensated at a greater rate than other AFSCs who don't accept the same risk I do. That compensates me now, and in retirement. Raimius' post below is exactly why Lt Col is a necessity.
Chances of Being Deployed Nat'l Guard
ViperMan replied to dornel87's topic in General DiscussionPSA, no one needs to make a decision until the 31 Dec 2018. So don't rush yourself.
I agree with a lot of what you said, but we definitely view the problem in different terms. I don't think that every hospital in the USAF should be deprecated, and I didn't intend to imply that. But, you can't seriously tell me that we NEED a base hospital at Luke AFB (Phoenix, AZ), hospitals in Dallas, San Antonio, Washington D.C., Salt Lake City, all the redundant and overlapping medical facilities the Navy has in San Diego and elsewhere in garden, costal locations with millions of civilians around. Holloman AFB? Sure. Cannon AFB? Sure. There is valid need for certain locations to have necessary support functions where there is no realistic alternative. My point is that we have EXCESS capacity that could easily be farmed out. Tricare doesn't pay enough? Blah, they can fix that with a flick of a pen. No one (or few) here thinks that pilots alone could accomplish the mission themselves in a vacuum. The point I was making was to say exactly what you said in your post: that it is stupid to compare doctors to pilots in the AF. What's a pilot worth to Microsoft? How bout a Computer Programmer? I'm sure the relative value of each person changes when you swap context, and that is the bottom line: the USAF needs pilots a HELL of a lot more than they need doctors - ANY doctors. Money talks. As far as finance goes, we could do a lot to streamline and simplify their jobs using technology, etc. I don't for one second buy that they aren't capable because they are understaffed. They need to work smarter, not harder. The AF loves to resist change though, and while I'm full of great suggestions for how they can fix themselves, that's not the point of this post.
Sortofish. What I am saying (which deserves its own post), is that the Air Force (as is true with any very large enterprise) needs a bureaucratic means (which it currently has) of selecting from a group of highly qualified and highly motivated individuals to select for their most difficult training pipeline. This ensures a higher probability of success which is vital with extraordinarily expensive training. Requiring someone to have a college degree (any college degree) is in NO WAY too high a bar to preclude someone from competing for pilot training - READ: those people who can't (or don't) make it through 'X' State University, very likely, have ZERO business flying a fighter aircraft, let alone any aircraft in the USAF. This, by definition, precludes much of the enlisted force. The above is in no way saying their are enlisted individuals who "couldn't" 'fly' a fighter or heavy aircraft - lord knows. I know there are many individuals around the world flying fighters who are less than capable. I feel ardently about this because I feel that our national advantage isn't grounded in our Army. It's grounded in our Air Force. And when we give up that advantage, we're asking for F$@%ing trouble. What I see this as is grasping at straws and a mediocre "attempt" to solve a problem. Ultimately the AF needs to stand up and tell the Army to do it's job (another post). This, of course, requires national-level leadership buy-in to a strategy (hasn't seemed like we've had one of those for a while), but why else are these people wearing stars?
Way behind in total salary (maybe), but are you accounting for the amount of insurance required of private doctors? It can be enormous from what I understand, whereas the cost to someone accepting any of those bonuses equals precisely $0.00. You account for $200-300K of med school debt, are you doing the math on $0.00 of med school debt to a mil doc? Difference between these positive and negative numbers begins to add up pretty quickly. We always talk about bringing doctors "in". Do doctors need to be in the military? Does a base located in city X "need" a whole ing hospital? Why don't we just outsource our healthcare to the civilian sector and pay market price? I grant that there are certain specialities that the military needs for reason X, but we do not need the medical infrastructure that we currently have set up to be able to accomplish our mission. There is an awesome (sarcasm) thread on the CAF Fighter Facebook page that is basically just a swinging dick contest between doctors and 11Fs. The point missing from the whole thing is that there is a separate 'sub-economy' in the USAF wherein pilots > doctors: because mission. So it doesn't matter what the USAF pays doctors relative to pilots. If this was a janitor's union, and our mission was sweeping the hallways of junior high schools, no one would care if some of the "help" who checked janitor's balls (who had tons of expensive education) wanted more pay or "deserved" more pay. The mission is hall-sweeping, not ball-checking. Yes.
Sarcastic post aside, I'll answer the questions literally (for sarcastic fun): They won't. Enlisted pilot retention will likely be lower than officer pilot retention. Nail on Cranium, though I will say that it's not so much the 'process' that the academy/rotc/ots puts "you" through (capable people are capable people); rather, the pool of candidates that make it through the other end of those said training pipelines have shown they have the metal to handle the USAF UPT pipeline. This 'cheaper' process enables the USAF to select (from an already select group) individuals who are likely to succeed in a challenging program (which is extraordinarily expensive), which is, arguably, the point of those accession processes. My point is, the whole purpose of accession programs is to save tax payer money by sending the people most likely to graduate through the most expensive training known to man...having a "college degree" and 90 days of marching is not too high a bar to granting that privilege, IMHO. Interesting point, made me think. What does OTS cost relative to the Academy? A penny on the dollar? It costs next to effing nothing to send a bro through OTS, commission a bitch after 90-days, staple a gold bar on his shoulder and proudly salute. What I (cynically) think is that now the leadership is looking for more control. Can't control Capts/Majs/Lt Cols who don't give a F$#% what a two-star says because they realize that that guy is effectively their peer with a few years more experience. Better to have a SSgt F-35 pilot or C-17 pilot who just CAN"T say no, and who can't (legitimately) scoff your ideas. Control. Read Catch-22.
I haven't seen the sweeping push, yet, either, nor do I think their is one. My comment is mostly directed towards all the internet geniuses (/trolls) that come up with bright ideas which haven't even been put through the most basic and obvious thought experiment available to someone with half a brain.
But seriously, not one post on this here internet (anywhere) has successfully addressed the VERY low hanging critique that a lesser-paid individual has LESS incentive to stay in the AF long-term. Read: enlisted pilots have a greater incentive to separate at their first opportunity than do officer pilots. So, given that, how does having enlisted pilots solve our manning problem?
GD I was just "Hall and 'rolled' Oates" - well played, very well played. "using the bodies up as we go" "waking up to fantasy" Yeah, I will not listen to that song the same way again.
Really, REALLY want to get jiggy with it? How bout we let dudes flying trash operate "single seat"? That'll fix MAFs problem overnight. Slides = GREEN. I mean that is the lowest hanging fruit with ultra-high payoff, right?
Production of what? X and XX rides?
By who? The staff? That should be fun for me...
Confirm what we're talking about is doing T-6s, and then prof advancing to F-16s? No T-38s whatsoever?
1,000 Retired Pilots Can Be Recalled to Active Duty
ViperMan replied to LookieRookie's topic in General DiscussionThe "reason" you get "retirement" benefits is precisely so they CAN place you back on active duty.
I would send one more (polite) message, and then take the assignment if I was you. 6 months of active duty can effectively be reduced to 3 months if you have 90 days of leave. Yeah, this. Dig into AFI 36-2110. There is some verbiage in there that explains when you can and cannot 7-day-opt an assignment. The basic rule is if any extra training (AFT in your case), PCS, or whatever would result in an ADSC that takes you beyond another (different) ADSC, you can decline that "thing" and then establish a DOS. The fact that it happens to be 3+ years in the future is immaterial. That said, in your case, 3+ years is a long time to "hang it out there". I'd be very wary of doing that if I was in a place that could then summarily give me screw job after screw job. You basically have to ask yourself if the cost of that is > than the cost of 6 more months in an assignment that you want.
7-day-opt. There's your solution.
Kill the nerd!!
Fixed wing opportunities > Helicopter opportunities RPA opportunities > Helicopter opportunities It simply boils down to economics/available choices. It's not at all complicated. Right now we're watching people bail who are being paid $100K+ to do a job (RPA): you can observe that fact. It's happening right now. Nor will "moral" fix it. The suggestion that paying someone ~$60K to do that same job because of "moral" ignores another fact that you can also observe right now: fighter pilots are bailing faster than they can be replaced. "Moral" will only keep you around so long. What I feel like people should be discussing, is why the AF insists upon placing a job that can literally be accomplished anywhere, in some of the worst real-estate the AF has. Want to keep people around? Let them live in Hawaii, Guam, Japan, England, Florida, California, Colorado - don't shovel them off to Creech, Holloman, Shaw, etc.
This solves nothing - as a "solution" it will only exacerbate the problem. For the reason identified below: Shack.
Yep. In my case, when I witnessed the forced separation of 160-some majors back in 2011 (ish) followed almost immediately by the activation of TERA authority, for a nearly identical group of people, I realized just how important the AF viewed its people, and also how arbitrary and fickle continued service could be. "Hmm. I just got the boot, but the other 15-yr major across the street gets to retire? Exsqueeze me? Baking powder?" AF leadership needs to realize that their decisions enacted through AFPC and other entities are watched very closely and create a certain lasting "tenor" within the force that have effects on retention for many years in the future. This latest decision may be in a similar vein.

NATSO Members Urged to Sign Letter Opposing Repeal of Swipe Fee Reform
January 4, 2017
NATSO has learned that U.S. Rep. Jeb Hensarling (R-Texas), Chairman of the House Financial Services Committee, is expected as early as next week to introduce legislation that seeks to repeal debit card swipe fee reform, commonly known as the "Durbin Amendment."
It is expected that this legislation will be substantially similar to the Financial Choice Act introduced by Rep. Hensarling last September that included full repeal of debit swipe fee reform.
With the financial services trade associations and numerous individual financial services companies urging House Leadership and Members of Congress to repeal debit reforms, it is critical that NATSO members weigh in on this important issue and encourage Congress to keep debit reforms intact.
NATSO and its allies in the business community are preparing a letter to Congress urging lawmakers to refrain from taking up any legislation that repeals debit reforms. It is critical that NATSO members sign the letter to ensure that our industry has a strong voice in opposing any legislation that would undo debit card swipe fee reform. NATSO members have until Jan. 9 to add their name to the list of businesses voicing strong opposition to repeal of debit card swipe fee reform. NATSO members may log in here to read the letter.
The Durbin Amendment – which imposed much-needed reforms on the debit interchange market – brought certainty for retailers and a level of transparency and competition into a market that was historically void of it.
Debit card reforms have been a major step in the right direction and any removal of those reforms would be a monumental step in the wrong direction for U.S. businesses and consumers.
Repeal of the Durbin Amendment would allow the big banks to impose outrageous fees on merchants and increase prices for consumers. Companies like Visa and MasterCard will dominate the market to the extent that they can fix fees, squeezing retailers and raising costs for consumers. It is currently estimated that swipe fees cost merchants and consumers $40 billion every year.
To add your name to the list of those opposing any efforts to repeal debit card fee and rule reforms, please contact NATSO Vice President of Government Affairs David Fialkov at firstname.lastname@example.com or 703-739-8501.

Need to attach same Address multiple times against same Account
Last updated on MARCH 02, 2017
Applies to:Siebel Tools - Version 22.214.171.124 [20420] and later
Information in this document applies to any platform.
""Checked for Relevance on 12-AUG-2015""
Customer has a requirement of associating an Account with the same address multiple times, each against different Address Types;
e,g. an address 101 Fairway Street,LA,California can be associated twice with an Account once with Address Type as "Physical" and one more time with Address type as "Mailing".
Thus customer intends to have only a single record in the S_ADDR_PER table but two records in the S_CON_ADDR table with the same ACCNT_ID and ADDR_PER_ID combination but different ADDR_TYPE_CD/RELATION_TYPE_CD.
In standard customer cannot associate the same address multiple times against the same account.

I suppose the real question is what makes people qualified in web 2.0 world where anyone can create an online presence? Is it education, experience or ability to build relationships? Today the line seems harder to distinguish and the best we can do is to position our brand and use social media to promote our talents and build trust.

3 Types of Clock Springs
A clock spring is different from the rounded, coil springs of today. These springs are flat, spirals of metal that are used to provide rotating tension on an object such as a clock mechanism or timers. There are three main kinds of clock springs that have their own particular uses and benefits. Continue reading

Early in September our pregnant daughter, Melody, her husband, Travis and their 2 year old daughter moved back down to California from Oregon. They moved in with us for a bit, and about a week later Travis was taking a shower in the guest bathroom upstairs, but it was raining down through a light fixture in the entry way, directly below the bathroom. After a bit of a panic, turning off the electricity and main water, we came to realize that the drain below the shower was compromised and needed to be replaced. YIPEEEEEE!!!! –That ugly bathroom was going to get a remodel!!
|You've got to admit it. This was nasty!
I wish I had a before pic of the nasty vanity as well but I don't. Just refer back to the old kitchen cabinets and you'll get the idea.
The timing couldn't be any worse. Our daughter was due to give birth in a couple of weeks and the holiday season was coming upon us. Here they are neatly taking down the wall tiles, lath and cement. --Old School.
|Randy and Travis worked diligently and neatly, while replacing some compromised wood due to water damage.
|There's that broken drain pipe.
Meanwhile I get to go tub shopping. I want a bigger deeper tub that has those fancy champagne bubbles when you push a button! Off to the hardware/big box stores to do a little research. Those fancy tubs sure are expensive. --$1048.00. Darn! I may have to go with just a deep soaking tub instead. After all we didn't budget for this remodel so we have to count our pennies. I headed over to another store and picked out a deep soaking tub with jets that was on sale for around 600 dollars and I told the man I would be back with my husband and a trailer to haul it. The next day we returned only to find the Jacuzzi Primo Air Bath on sale for $404.10, in stock. Are my eyes deceiving me? Do they have it with a left drain in stock? Why yes they do! We are feeling very blessed at this point.
Now I need to find matching granite tiles to the granite vanity top for the tub surround, as well as some accent tiles -That was easy once I made a few calls. –Granite tiles ordered.
OK so here's why I backtracked: The old bathroom floor was vinyl over a ½ inch subfloor, which was nailed and glued on. We always knew that we would be putting in hardwood floors and even had the floor purchased, as we had already done the whole house. This is where I realized my mistake. When we put in the backsplash, we put it in directly above the vanity without realizing that the new floor would be raised up by about ¼ inch. --Once we removed the subfloor and added the ¾ inch hardwood. --Darn. Now we were going to have to remove the backsplash patch the wall and buy more tile and reinstall it ¼ inch higher. Thankfully I was still able to find and purchase the same tile.
As things were chugging away and Randy was hard at work installing the new tub and testing for leaks, he came down with some kind of stomach bug that lasted 4 days. No remodel during this time and we were down to one shower for 7 people in our home. As he got better and things started to resume, it became time to go to the hospital (Oct 6th) and have a new granddaughter (who suffered some complications and was in the NICU for 3 days) while we were taking care of McKenna (2 year old) who came down with a nasty cold, then Randy got it too. No remodel work to be done during that week. By the way, new granddaughter Mya is just fine now and we are very thankful.
We continued to slowly chug along making sure we were doing everything correctly and got all the tile installed, then the grout and VOILA! –We have a shower!
We continued to pry away more of the subfloor and add hardwood to half the bathroom floors but we began to run out of time.....
|Now this is a second story bathroom with hardwood floors going in. We took a lot of precautions. Silicone was applied around the new tub inside and out.
|And on the bottom of the hardwood floors.
It was the week before Thanksgiving and company was on the way. (5 more people in our house for the next week!) Randy said we needed to stop the remodel just as soon as got the wainscot in on the half-done side, then we can just throw rugs down to cover the part of the floors that aren't finished.
|We are down to the wire. In this pic you cannot see the unfinished side but hey, at least we have a toilet and a vanity for our company.
|My son's future Mother-in-Law took those pictures in Newport Beach when the tide went down. We thought they were a beautiful touch to our bathroom.
|To continue with the soft ethereal look we opted to paint the ceiling Benjamin Moore Woodlawn Blue, and found this Schoolhouse Pendant which went perfectly with the other choices we had made.
On Thanksgiving Day we had 17 people over our house for dinner. It was so much fun, but unfortunately one of our guests had the stomach flu (NoroVirus!) and it spread like wild fire to our family. First my stepdad Roger got it and when he felt well enough they left to go back home. Then McKenna got it and then gave it to Travis and me. We stayed quarantined but Randy was the next victim to fall prey to the violent stomach bug. Finally Daniel, our son, got it. For nearly 2-1/2 weeks someone was hugging the toilet and there was no removing that old toilet until all were well. We had to just be patient until the NoroVirus was no longer haunting us.Finally about 1 week before Christmas we resumed the remodel. We took out the vanity and the backsplash and the toilet then patched the walls, removed the subfloor and began the rest of the hardwood floor installation, then some of the wainscot.
|Removal of the old vinyl floor and subfloor, and a close look at how we can get a cleaner, better flange for the toilet. Allen the Plumber, from the Auburn Home Depot helped Randy figure out that part. He rocks!
|I love this toilet. You cannot see the poop chute snaking on the side. It is American Standard EverClean.
|I love this bathroom!
As a Footnote: Earlier during the remodel, I needed to skimcoat the walls. The walls in this house are heavily textured and we wanted a smoother finish in the bathroom, not to mention is it hard to match up when patching. My favorite finish is called "Imperfect Smooth" I have used this finish throughout the house as we remodel. It is very expensive to have professionally done so I figure I might as well learn this method. It is easy but tedious. Here's how:
|Apply wall texture in a thin layer and spread evenly, leaving some holes for the "imperfect smooth" look.
|Continue to spread it out evenly over all the walls.
|Use a smooth wide putty knife and keep it clean as you go.
|Let it dry completely.
|Continue with your second coat, evenly and leaving random rough holes for that imperfect look.Let dry and sand with 80 grit paper until fairly smooth, but still exposing the imperfections purposefully left behind. C
|This is what it looks like when you're done sanding. Ha-Ha! Are you scared to try it now? -Fear not.

Updates 2012 jan 18:
Finally, got their attention from facebook fanpage. Talked to their support, and got my email replied.
They should check their offline chat message if its provided on their website...
Well, i tried to be professional in judging them.
If it wasn't because the client bought the hosting with them, i might not have to face their shit.
First, they change their hosting without our notice.
Previously things which works, now doesn't work, and they claim they never change anything,
In php point of programmer view, they disable error log.
Fine, as programmer, i will use ini_set to enable it to see what went wrong.
so my surprise, it came out error 500 instead.
so defnitely it has been disabled ini_set function... wth..
Next, if you php code doesnt close with ?>, it will also come out error 500, isn't this a norm in php to have unclosed tag? its to avoid unwanted endline charactor in the end to avoid being output out.
3rd, fine, lets fill in the support form for help..
After filling in the contact form, its been 1+ weeks and no response.
Okay, lets try call their support fella, went to voice mail...
Okay, lets try again, their "live chat",
waiting for operator, waiting for operator, waiting for operator, waiting for operator, sorry operator not available..
Their website published they hosted CIMB, wth? do you think bank will host with them with this kind of SLA? LoL, what a joke..

Oh snap! Nobody is here today.
I really did not want to skip a RHONJ recap. No way, no how. Although, odds are, I did not get a chance to watch the episode yet - since I was probably enjoying a few Sunday cocktails while it aired.
So I teamed up with Michelle from Shell Bell.
Head on over to her blog to check out what I'm sure will be a hilarious recap of this week's episode.
But don't tell me about it!
I can't wait to watch it and then read her recap. Seriously, cannot wait.

Magnetic is a pretty enough little island. The name comes from Captain Cook, as do many of the names along the east coast, who thought the island was interfering with his compass as he sailed past. No one has found that strange phenomenon since and the island is not magnetic.
Made mostly of granite the island was a major coastal fortress protecting the shipping access to Townsville during the World War II. I did the Fort Walk up to the remains of these fortifications which are now in a national park. The views from the top are pretty impressive and with an abundance of granite rocks for improvised defensive positions as well as the camouflaged official positions you can see how this little island could have become one of the famous battle grounds of the war had the Japanese ever managed to invade Australia. The national park is also full of wild koalas which can be seen just sitting trees while you walk along the paths. Of course being Australia it is also full of snakes, especially death adders and signs along the paths warn people to watch their step. As well as bush walking I went for a sea kayak.
The island itself is also pretty spaced out. There are around 2000 residents and they seem to be evenly scattered over the non park part of the island. There are little clusters of shops 10 to 15 minutes walk apart which makes it a little awkward for backpackers. A local bus service does exist but the buses are infrequent and some backpackers just hire little cars called mokes which look like toughened up golf buggies.
I don't know why I didn't like the place, but I didn't. Not that I disliked it, I just didn't like it. The hostel I was staying in was called Base and while it was beautifully situated right on the beach, surrounded by palm trees and with pretty good dorms and lockers in the dorms it just didn't catch my interest. Others will love Magnetic, I just didn't care at all about it. But it wasn't just me who didn't take to the place, most of the north bound backpackers I spoke to were unimpressed as well. I think we had seen places like Byron Bay, Fraser Island and Airlie Beach and just found Magnetic Island lacked anything special that we hadn't seen elsewhere. For the South bounders this was one of their first stops and they seemed to love it. So I guess its all matter of perspective. Personally I'd rather have spent 2 more nights in Airlie and then I would have headed to Magnetic Island for the Full Moon party. But then those that did that were even more disappointed than I was.
Once a month Base host a Full Moon party, obviously an attempt to create a party similar to that in Koh Phangan. I have not been to the one in Koh Phangan but those that had say it is one of the great parties of the world and the hype it gets made many of us look forward to the Full Moon party on Magnetic which while we expected it to be smaller we assumed, based on all the signs around travel agent windows in Airlie, that it would be a pretty cool night with thousands of people arriving from all around Queensland.
In the end the party lacked a few things. Firstly there was no beach. The real Full Moon party is on a beach on the island of Koh Phangan in Thailand. On Magnetic Island security guards prevented people from gaining access to the beach. This meant everyone was confined to the grounds of the hostel itself. Secondly it lacked thousands of people, there was supposed to be 2000 people but I think a more accurate estimate would have been 800 to 1000. If 2000 people had been squashed into the venue then no one would have been able to move, maybe that is why they closed off the beach. Thirdly no cheap alcohol. The hostel had a strictly enforced no bring your own policy with alcohol being confiscated from rooms and guards checking bottles and cans as people returned from their rooms. (I saw a guard checking peoples cans and friends of mine had their wine confiscated when they were in their rooms). The only alcohol that could be consumed had to be bought from the bar which made the night a little expensive for many backpackers but people still bought plenty of drink. Of course the hostel is entitled to make money but sometimes you can push backpackers a little too much. Finally and most importantly for a Full Moon party we were missing a Full Moon. The moon was still a couple of days from being full. The party seems to have just been organised for the closest Friday night. That did provide a few moments of drunken humour for those in attendance as they stared at the sky and realised it wasn't a full moon at all.
Am I glad I went to Magnetic? Well I guess I'd have been curious about the place if I hadn't gone so I'm glad I visited the place, but I do wish I had spent a couple more nights in Airlie Beach instead and just gone to Magnetic for one or at most two nights.

A Phoenix woman was rescued in good condition on Wednesday after apparently being stranded for more than a week in her snowbound vehicle in a remote part of southeastern Coconino County.
Lauren E. Weinberg, a 23-year-old ASU business student, told Sheriff's deputies she survived in her car for nine days without cold weather gear and on nothing more than two candy bars. For drinking water, she used the sun to melt snow in bottles.
"I am so thankful to be alive and warm," Weinberg said through a spokeswoman at the Flagstaff Medical Center where she was taken. "Thank you everyone for your thoughts and prayers, because they worked. There were times I was afraid but mostly I had faith I would be found."
She was released from the hospital Thursday morning.
The part of the eastern Mogollon Rim where she was stranded received up to 33 inches of snow during the first days of her ordeal, according to the National Weather Service.
Weinberg was last seen leaving her mother's home in Ahwatukee on Dec. 11. She was reported missing several days later by the Phoenix Police Department.
Police said she had left her pet behind and missed her final semester exams, which was uncharacteristic, according to her family.
Police were able to track her movements through Chandler, Superior and Show Low on Dec. 11 and Dec. 12 in Holbrook, but they lost her trail after that.
Two U.S. Forest Service employees on snowmobiles came across her car north of Woods Canyon Lake just before noon yesterday, according to the Coconino County Sheriff's Office. The two were out checking that gates closing off Forest Service Roads were locked.
She was "cold, hungry and thirsty, but absolutely ecstatic that somebody found her," said Sheriff's Office spokesperson Gerry Blair. Weinberg was taken to the Flagstaff Medical Center to be treated.
Weinberg told Sheriff's deputies that she was driving with no specific destination. She had driven south from Winslow on Highway 99 toward the Mogollon Rim and continued on when she came to a dirt road, Forest Service Road 34, until that stopped at a locked gate at the junction of Forest Service Road 100. She said she was unable to get her Toyota sedan moving again after she stopped at the gate.
Blair said that the woman's cell phone battery was dead so she was unable to make phone calls.

In a world where tensions between nations like the United States and Russia seems to be on the rise it is more important than ever to maintain other international relationships. While the news may often lead one to believe the world is falling apart this article seemed to stress a more positive future. President Obama is paying a visit, the first one by a US President, to the site of the bombing of Hiroshima. This would seem to inspire hope for a brighter future. If not for Obama's following statement, one that seemed very much like a warning:
"I thought it was a good time for me to reflect on the nature of war. Part of my goal is to recognize that innocent people caught in war can suffer tremendously"
Perhaps this is something the Obama administration hopes the new President will keep in mind in the coming years. With the list of candidates America has amassed, frankly, I don't blame him.

Those born in the Philippines, or through naturalization or who were born outside of the Philippines with at least one biological parent being a Filipino citizen at the time of birth are considered citizens and can therefore apply for a Philippine passport.
A regular Philippine passport costs 500 pesos ($10) in the Philippines or if applying abroad, $50. Overtime processing for expedited service costs an additional 250 pesos.
Applications can be filled out in the Philippines through on-site centers, a DFA Express Passport Delivery hotline (02) 737-1000, and online at www.passport.com.ph.
Regular passports, issued to citizens of the Philippines, are designated maroon. Diplomatic passports, issued to members of the Philippine diplomatic service and other government officials, are blue. Official passports, issued to certain government members on official business, are light blue.
Passports colored brown or green are older non-electronic passports, which are still acceptable until their expiration date.
