Last years holiday season was kicked off in an interesting way… On December 1st, Dale and I were excited to get our Christmas tree in the backwoods of the Oregon mountains. Long story short – it ended with Dale in the emergency room and a six inch long ¾ inch deep chainsaw wound to his right thigh (view here if you're not squeamish). So, for this year, we're hoping the Christmas season will be kicked off in a more…gentle way.
Our oldest (Aria) who is almost four, has finally reached the age where she's remembering the meaning and purpose of holidays and traditions. Recently, she has been asking more about Christmas. I've had to explain to her that, "Hopefully, daddy will not be cutting his leg open this year and we will have a more exciting holiday!" Lol.
That being said, Dale and I have had several conversations regarding the Christmas traditions we would like to adopt and which ones we want to leave behind. So this year, we will be celebrating our first Advent! Last year, I bought several Advent books to explore but Aria was still too young and not interested in the narrative. However, this season's curiosity has motivated Dale and I to give the Advent journey another shot!
What is the Advent?
Advent is the period beginning four Sundays before Christmas and observed by Christians as a season of prayer and fasting, and the story of Jesus. We've decided to walk the journey by using our advent calendar. Starting December 1st, we will pull one tag per day. On every tag, there is a passage of scripture for us to read and on the opposite side is an activity or act of kindness for us to do each day. In addition, we will be starting Ann Voskamp's Advent book, Unwrapping the Greatest Gift: A Family Celebration of Christmas.
As you might have guessed, it is very important to Dale and I that our children are taught to have grateful hearts, especially in a season where everywhere you look is an advertisement manipulating our little ones into a heart of materialism. Note: Many Advent calendars are filled with daily toys. As I have mentioned above, we opted for good deeds, instead.
Below I have shared our list of activities and acts of kindness:
- Have the kids make cards and buy a few coffee gift cards to stick inside and hand them out to random parents. We could all use a cup and a cute kid handing you a gift. 🙂
- Offer to babysit.
- Read a book by kerosene lamp or candlelight.
- Tabletop shaving cream snowmen.
- Make treats for our neighbors.
- DIY Nativity scene. Baby Jesus is placed on Christmas day.
- Look for opportunities to bless your brother or sister.
- Have friends over for a kids craft night.
- Talk about miracles Jesus performed.
- Build a gingerbread house…or mansion.
- Wash your brother or sister's feet and read the Bible story of Jesus washing the disciple's feet in John 13.
- Pick some of your own toys to donate.
- Make hug coupons.
- Do a chore for a family member.
- Take treats to a fire station.
- Paint rocks with encouragements on them and pass them out to others
- Leave a happy note or drawing for someone to find.
- Watch a Christmas movie.
- Sleep by the Christmas tree.
- Find something nice about someone else and let them know.
- Make dad breakfast in bed and eat it with him.
- Write an encouraging note to dad.
- Make hot chocolate and have family coloring or playdoh and talk time.
- Help the grown-ups set the table for Christmas Eve dinner.
- Place baby Jesus in the manger of the DIY nativity scene. Merry Christmas!
We believe traditions are the fabric to our child's memories. I hope our journey will help you to gain a few memories to implement into your families Christmas season! If you have any other ideas or have celebrated the Advent already, I would love to hear your story in the comments below. We hope you enjoy your Christmas season and the birth of our Lord, Jesus Christ. Merry Christmas 🙂

Host: Hannaneh Hamrahian
Donnie Santos earned his bachelors degree in computer science from John Carroll University in 2001. He earned his masters degree in computer science from Case Western Reserve University in 2005.
Work Experience
Donnie Santos has been working at Progressive Insurance as a software developer for the last ten years. He has played a part in every development phase of Progressive's mobile application as well as playing a role in every major web acquisition initiative. In addition, he and another developer re-wrote Progressive's insurance quoting application from scratch using C# and flash techniques (Can be seen here: www.progressive.com).
His latest project which has been working on Progressive Mobile is an application for Android and iOS. The app supports all three major aspects of Progressive's business: Quoting, Servicing, and Claims.
Teaching Experience
Has worked at Cuyahoga Community College and Lakeland Community College for eight years. He teaches C#, Web Development, and Game Programming.
C# / .NET Framework / C / C++ / Visual Basic / HTML5 / CSS3 / SASS / JavaScript / JQuery / Angular / Objective-C / Java / Android / Flash / ActionScript-3 / MVC4 / ASP.NET / .NET WebAPI / SQL Server
His resume: https://drive.google.com/a/jcu.edu/file/d/0B_n5p3RHWKu5bU44Z3BlRGtQRjNYeGpzSlFlTE1sQ19NQVJn/view?usp=sharing
Santos will be discussing his technical experiences in the industry and will be providing advice on how to best make the transition from academia to the real world of software development.
- Stated that his John Carroll education was very theory based in a positive way. Credits his ability to pick up a language quickly due to his classes here at JCU.
- When talking about grad school, he stated that he does know whether grad school for computer science is beneficial. He took some difficult classes and aided a faculty member in the research he/she was doing.
- He began working at Progressive right after grad school, and was placed on the Quoting team.
XML Experience
- He began his job by pretty much only writing XML conditional statements that would then be delivered to a server.
- He did this for three years, and found that he had an eagerness to find out how everything worked as the majority of people did not know what was happening behind the scenes with the XML they were writing.
- So Donnie started learning how the in-house meta data frameworks worked and started teaching others how they worked as well.
Flash Experience
- Progressive then decided that they no longer wanted their website to be just HTML, they wanted users to have a flash experience.
- This posed a problem as the servers couldn't read the information off of the flash. The other developers tried to find a solution to the problem but they were unsuccessful in finding a solution that was not too complex.
- Donnie and his friend decided they would try and come up with a solution themselves by working on it during the evenings and weekends.
Flash Quoting Project
- They realized that the best solution was to toss out the existing program and to start from scratch.
- They programmed in C# while the client-side was in Flash.
- Their vision for the program was that it would be very simple. They wanted recent college graduates to be able to look at the program and understand what was going on right away.
- When their project reached completion, they brought the program into Progressive to show their managers. However, no one was interested so Donnie and his friend had to show their program to people higher up in the company.
- People agreed to listen to him so Donnie and his friend gave a presentation to Progressive's architects. The architects were impressed and it was put into production.
Interesting Point: Development jobs are 90% interacting with others and 10% coding.
1.) How has Progressive dealt with the decline in Flash?
- The desktop version of Progressive's website still gives users a flash experience. However, for Progressive's mobile application they had to find an alternative solution as iPhones and iPads do not support flash. So the mobile application provides users with a responsive HTML experience. Donnie has been working and is still currently working on this project.
2.) What was your interview experience at Progressive like?
- Four interviews which were each one hour long. There were no technical questions, it was mostly behavioral.
3.) How does one get into doing research and higher level development in a non-IT company versus just being in charge of maintaining existing programs?
- Progressive is a software company. It is the bad programmers that get stuck with maintenance in a company.
4.) Was it like having multiple managers and having to jump from team to team?
- It is not as traumatic as you would think. If you do not like jumping to different teams, most companies are considerate enough to take your personal preference into consideration.
5.) Did you masters degree make you gain more knowledge as a programmer?
- He had difficultly answering whether it made him a better programmer, but he said it taught him to try hard. "You can't be a good programmer if you don't love it. Like being a musician, you can't expect to be a good guitar player if you don't love playing the guitar."
6.) Should you be worried if the job you are applying to involves a language that one if unfamiliar with?
- No, you should not let that hinder you from applying to a job.
7.) Do you experience the business side of the company changing their mind about how things should work while you are working on a project?
- Yes. Sometimes the people higher up in the company fight among themselves and you don't know who to listen to.
8.) What are deadline expectations like at Progressive?
- They are not too harsh. Sometimes you will get a pep talk. The important part is to be working hard.
9.) Can you talk about the R&D aspects at Progressive?
- They are trying to do more industry standard development vs. in-house development. Every once in a while they do R&D in the planning phase of the business side. They also engage in prototyping and have a user lab in which outsiders try to use a website/mobile application to see which areas they found easy to work with and which areas they found difficult.
Follow-Up Questions
1.) Is it typical for Progressive's interviews to be mainly behavioral questions?
- "For college hires at Progressive, the interview questions we ask are overwhelmingly behavior based, but we do obviously notice technical experience on a resume and could throw in a few technical questions."
2.) When would you be interested in coming back at John Carroll as a recruiter?
- "My plan is to personally hold an info session myself to recruit Juniors and Seniors in the Fall of 2015. Between now and that time, I'll be in touch with Dr. Palmer."

Bait-and-switch is a form of fraud used in retail sales, but also employed in other contexts.
In retail sales
First, customers are "baited" by merchants's advertising products or services at a low price, but when customers visit the store, they discover that the advertised goods either are not available[1] or are not as good as was expected, or the customers are pressured by sales people to consider similar, but higher-priced, items ("switching").
The intention of the bait-and-switch is to encourage purchases of substituted goods, making consumers satisfied with the available stock offered, as an alternative to a disappointment or inconvenience of acquiring no goods (or bait) at all, and reckoning on a seemingly partial recovery of sunk costs expended trying to obtain the bait. It suggests that the seller will not show the original product or service advertised but instead will demonstrate a more expensive product or a similar product with a higher margin.
In the United States, courts have held that the purveyor using a bait-and-switch operation may be subject to a lawsuit by customers for false advertising, and can be sued for trademark infringement by competing manufacturers, retailers, and others who profit from the sale of the product used as bait. However, no cause of action will exist if the purveyor is capable of actually selling the goods advertised, but aggressively pushes a competing product.
Likewise, advertising a sale while intending to stock a limited amount of, and thereby sell out, a loss-leading item advertised is legal in the United States. The purveyor can escape liability if they make clear in their advertisements that quantities of items for which a sale is offered are limited, or by offering a rain check on sold-out items.
In England and Wales, bait and switch is banned under the Consumer Protection from Unfair Trading Regulations 2008.[2] Breaking this law can result in a criminal prosecution, an unlimited fine and two years in jail. In Canada, this tactic is illegal under the Competition Act.
Non-retail use
- Bait-and-switch tactics are frequently used in airline and air travel advertising.[3]
- Hotels widely use the form of bait-and-switch tactics known as 'resort fees'. They first attract customers by advertising the lower price (which appears on all promotional materials and rate comparison engines), and charge customers the mandatory "resort fee" when they arrive for check-in.[4]
- Home service companies such as in the carpet cleaning, air conditioning, and security system industries often use bait-and-switch.[5]
- Professional wrestling has long used bait-and-switch tactics, promoting wrestlers and matches that either fail or refuse to appear or appear much differently than expected. A disclaimer on promotional material, "Card Subject to Change," is often used to justify or excuse this.[6][7]
In lawmaking, "caption bills" that propose minor changes in law with simplistic titles (the bait) are introduced to the legislature with the ultimate objective of substantially changing the wording (the switch) at a later date in order to try to smooth the passage of a controversial or major amendment. Rule changes are also proposed (the bait) to meet legal requirements for public notice and mandated public hearings, then different rules are proposed at a final meeting (the switch), thus bypassing the objective of public notice and public discussion on the actual rules voted upon. While legal, the political objective is to get legislation or rules passed without expected negative community review.

Y'see, I was going to make it into a panel truck as the rear door was still bashed in. when I got it the right doors and fender were bashed. I scored a new fender down in Salem cheap and banged out the fender. So I spies some .030 aluminum in Craigslist so goes on up to Portland and gets me a couple sheets of it. It came in BIG-ASS sheets, so, as I was a pop-riveten fool, I drew it out with big ol 57 Chev fins on it. They are riveted to the body right down to the moulding at the lower part of the doors and up around the rear wheels. then riveted around the tops of the windows as if it were to be a panel truck. The insides of the higher part of the fins is full of rigid foam glued in with vulkem. Aluminum sheet again in the insides of the upper fins tabbed to rivet to the roof and around the rear window. All bent over and sealed tight as a catholics ass. I stuck a row of little LED's on the lower aft of the fins to augment the turn sig/flashers. I am thinking of cutting the roof out and putting some sort of double cathedral doors on the back. I have a shitload of really cool red plexiglass...inside is all panelled with plywood and will have a fold down bunk soon. All for $400! First thing I did was get me some lock-out hubs for it. Seems these Isuzu's were a real TRUCK with real SHOCK ABSORBERS and massive skidplates. dual overhead cam Chev V-6 limited slip fore and aft. I have been buying one new tire a month and now have for new mud and snows on it. That's Rustoleum Hi-Vis gloss red there - applied with a low knap roller and chip brushes!
Glad ya like it - I will post progress pix. Still hoping to finish my '65 too!
Hope all is well with you there in Vancouver or wherever you are these days....HEY I got an idea! I'll go over to busted knuckels and see what you've been up to!

Band Review
Movie Release Date: January 23, 2008
By Anthony Kuzminski
Ever since the momentous Woodstock four decades back, the art of capturing a rock band on film has proved to be vitalizing, idealistic and at times downright disastrous. The paramount performances have tended to make the artists appear larger than life however, the crux of this enormity has often resulted as underlining tension whether it being The Band breaking up in The Last Waltz , Bono's political rants in Rattle and Hum or the Altamont disaster the Rolling Stones experienced in Gimme Shelter . With the advent of the DVD, live concert releases have become the norm and I have a full library full of them. Sadly, they often don't live up to expectations. It may be poor editing, key songs left on the cutting room floor or the horrifying trend of shooting concerts on video over film. However, there has been one concert performance on screen that has been revelatory and until recently was untouchable. The Rolling Stones At the Max , a 1991 IMAX film showcased this larger than life band to be just that on IMAX screens that were taller than buildings. I remember witnessing the show and it was so defining that I largely consider it my first live Stones experience. Jagger didn't move like a rock God but exactly like a God. Richards, Wood, Wyman and Watts all had their steel precision accentuated by a boisterous soundtrack and assaulting skyscraper images. I never thought that any concert experience would ever touch that one until now.
Ever since I was a child, I was fascinated with the idea of 3-D technology. I remember our local Fox affiliate advertising one of the glorious B-Monster movies to be shown in 3-D and I headed to my local grocery store to get the glasses. My babysitter coming over and we got all set on the sofa to watch the movie and I couldn't tell any different with or without the glasses. Needless to say, it was a deflating and banal experience and soured me on 3-D films forever. A little over a year ago, I caught a 3-D presentation of Tim Burton's A Nightmare Before Christmas and was pleased to find that the medium had improved immensely, but for one reason or another, despite other 3-D showings at the same theater, I didn't seek any of them out. All of this brings us to U2 3D , for which I must admit, until press screenings of the film, I was less than excited for. "Why not just do a flat out IMAX film?" I thought to myself. However, as I made my way to one of the first showings of the film, right from the moment where the lights dimmed and the company logos appeared on screen, there were gasps of shock and awe without having a single credit roll. As everyone tried to pick their jaws up from the floor, I knew this would be the definitive 3-D experience.
The film opens with fans outside the stadium and once through the gates, they make rush to get into that pit in front of the stage. One thing American audiences don't always realize is that countries like South America don't get a lot of rock concerts and when they do, it's as if the Pope himself is visiting and they treat the experience like a religious one. Their hearts, bodies and mind bleed for the music and it shown gloriously in this film. From the runner inside the stadium, the film effortlessly segues to "Vertigo" which was an awesome assault on your visual and sonic senses; I immediately knew at this moment that the U2 had outdone the Stones with this spellbinding camera work and special effects. Ironically, what made the film so sweepingly impressive was the 3-D visual. As Larry Mullen Jr. muscularly wails on his drum kit, an overhead camera gives us a shot unlike any we've ever seen before. I could see the ice cubes in the drink next to his kit pulsate amidst the liquid and glass, making you feel like you were in the hurricane middle of the concert. Adam Clayton veered his bass right in front of my eyes and I jolted backwards because the shot felt real. As "Beautiful Day" was transported with understated perfection, I began to recognize that U2 have never sounded as vivid or euphoric as they did right at this moment on screen. The music mix wasn't just coherent; it was revelatory as I'd never heard the song sound as fresh or organic as it did here. The Edge commanded the screen and as the chorus swelled I felt I was standing right next to him experiencing it while hearing the music as if I was in a first rate recording studio.
"New Year's Day" continued the sprawling experience and even if it's tiresome to some long standing U2 fans, I can guarantee you; you've never seen it like this before. "Sometimes You Can't Make It On Your Own" gave me my first goose bump moment as Bono's vocal performance is laced with ostentatious emotions which overflowed on screen. Due to its static inclusion nightly on the last tour I grew a bit tired of the song, but here it was novel once again. "Love and Peace or Else" is a U2 hymn for the ages. This song underwhelmed me on record, but in concert it took on another life with an intense anticipation and a thunderous foreplay drum beat which segues into "Sunday Bloody Sunday" and "Bullet The Blue Sky" where the emotional, entrenched and earnest Bono rules the stage where U2 raises the stakes from a worldwide perspective which isn't so much a lecture as a epic story arc executed to perfection. It's capped with a pleading and unforgettable vocal on "Miss Sarajevo" and the triumphant "Pride" which found Bono so close to you, that you could see arms reaching out from their seats in hopes of touching him. The only person who is provided a better seat than the viewer is the occasional fly who winds up on Bono's shades; this is how superbly unsubtle directors Mark Pellington and Catherine Owens have made this film.
"Where The Streets Have No Name" defies expectations with a unyielding drive and explosive opening that is a contender for greatest live song ever; cue goose bump moment number two. The uplifting oomph this song brings to every U2 show is a resurrection. I've seen the band have an off night and when the opening kicks in, the audience truly roars to life. The film performance captures the rampant enthusiasm of band and fan as the song reaches new heights. "One", arguably one of the most preeminent songs ever written and recorded, is conveyed with poignant and elegant syncopation coherently allowing the fixating lyrics to shine through. "The Fly" provided a potent mix or irony and alternative rock mayhem as the performance was straight out of Zoo TV with the images and words flying at you providing a tour de force 3-D experience. The triumphant finale of "With Or Without You" provided goose bump moment number three as the band elegantly and slowly seduced the audience before the intoxicating and glorious crescendo providing the ultimate sing-a-long moment. As the credits rolled, not a single person moved or left their seat as the images were just as enthralling as "Yahweh" found the band taking immeasurable lyrics and being able to leave the grandeur of their stage for an intimate performance that brought the film full circle; from an intense and copious opening to a serene and heartrending finale.
Even though the band played it safe with the song selection for this film, each song was executed gloriously with an intense outlook on the thematic and spiritual aspects of the larger whole. I've seen U2 twenty-plus times and I felt as if I were witnessing the breathtaking abandonment of these songs for the first time. U2 has always had the spiritual angle of their of their concerts executed with precise perfection. Between the world-weary ballads, the warm vintage feel of their anthems and the blissful conviction of their performances you really do believe that they are doing all of this for a higher power than money. Making a 3-D film could not have been an easy decision and the results could have been disastrous, but the band forged ahead and took a chance and as a result created an experience for the ages. For such an expansive and larger than life experience, the film gradually takes you on a journey to feel the roar of the crowd, throw you smack dab in the middle of it while simultaneously providing a truly intimate and unforgettable experience. The reason U2 is often heralded as the one of the most vital, important and grand bands ever is because of their ability to forge forward while not alienating those who have put them where they are. Only the Beatles and Rolling Stones have taken as many chances. U2 is still alive and vital because they have a penchant for never living in the past and never making decisions with their wallets. Whatever money that has been sunk into this film, I'm not sure if it will reap giant financial rewards, but what I can guarantee you, is that whether you are a U2 fan or not, U2 3D will leave you breathless and the entire experience will be etched in your mind for all time.

The Killers
Singer Brandon Flowers and drummer Ronnie Vannucci Jr., of The Killers, perform during the band's Thursday night stop in Bethlehem.
(Courtesy Photo)
Simply put: The Killers killed it.
The Las Vegas natives delivered a hot performance Thursday night at the Sands Bethlehem Event Center.
Trading in the colorful lights of Sin City, singer Brandon Flowers and the rest of the band seemed right at home in the Christmas City.
The sold-out crowd took notice and responded in kind, singing along with Flowers on nearly every song the band took out of their back pocket. The energy in the room was palpable.
The group didn't even wait for the house lights to go down before taking the stage shortly after 9 p.m., setting the tone of the evening with super-charged renditions of "When You Were Young" and "Spaceman."
The delicate piano outro of "A Dustland Fairytale" gave me goosebumps. "From Here On Out" surged with energy. And the numerous smiles Flowers flashed throughout the band's set seemed as if he meant it.
Even when they were not ripping through their own songs, The Killers still did not miss a beat. They added a slight country twang to a peppy cover of Creedence Clearwater Revival's "Bad Moon Rising." It was a surprise choice given the band's synth-heavy form of Depeche Mode-meets-David-Bowie dance rock. But it worked.
Drummer Ronnie Vannucci Jr. was especially entertaining and fun to watch: an arm-flailing combination of John Bonham might and "The Muppets'" Animal intensity.
The group, to the delight of the audience, made sure each of their four studio albums was represented. The bulk of the set focused on the hits and fan favorites -- including "All These Things That I've Done," "Human," "Somebody Told Me" and "Runaways."
The band stumbled a bit during "For Reasons Unknown." With Flowers playing bass and bassist Mark Stoermer switching to rhythm guitar, the front-man appeared to frequently lose his place. At one point the chord connecting the bass to the amp popped out. But whereas such a technical hiccup might throw off another band's momentum or bring the song (or show) to a screeching halt, Flowers grinned and pushed through without detracting from the performance.
The Killers' set felt looser and a bit off-the-cuff. They allowed themselves the space to breathe and stay in the moment. The approach worked.
Earlier in the night, Flowers wondered aloud if the band's brief hiatus from touring had started to cause fans and the public to forget about them.
But that is not the case. The Killers clearly have been missed.
And it was great to see them back and in top form.

Profile: Mario Balotelli
Magician or twerp? It's a score draw
It probably was not sensible of Mario Balotelli's mother to send him to John Lewis to buy an ironing board, but mothers tend to be optimists when it comes to their children: she probably shrugged when he came back with a quad bike, a Scalextric and a trampoline and said that one day he would grow up.
How Roberto Mancini, manager of Manchester City, reacted to the news that his scintillating bad-boy striker had bought himself two toys with the potential to cause serious injury is not hard to guess — let's just be thankful his ranting was in Italian.
Mancini recently said Balotelli could drive him insane: "I don't speak with him every day otherwise I would need a psychologist ... I told him, if…

Code: Cyactiv
Product Details
Cyactiv®Antioxidant Protection for reducing oxidative stress and neutralizing existing free radicals
Cyactiv® is a potent anti-inflammatory for calming down and reducing systemic inflammation in the body caused by a myriad of health conditions. Reducing chronic inflammation can improve the ability of target cells from the bone marrow and other nutrients to reach the tissues in need, supporting the body's ability to self heal.
Cyactiv® antioxidant protection has a neutralizing affect on free radicals and provides cellular protection against the formation of new oxidative stress. It works as a selective inhibitor of COX-2, a key enzyme involved in inflammation that prevents specific cells from reaching and rejuvenating tissue.
From the National Center for Biotechnology - "...Because of the significant side effect profiles of steroidal and NSAID medications, there is a greater interest in natural compounds, such as dietary supplement and herbal remedies, which have been used for centuries to reduce pain and inflammation.[94] Many of these natural compounds also work by inhibiting the inflammatory pathways in a similar manner as NSAIDs. In addition to the COX pathway, many natural compounds act to inhibit nuclear factor-kB (NF-kB) inflammatory pathways.
*** The Scientist Christian Drapeau speaks about all 3 products:
Can one consume this product daily?
A safety study confirmed that consumption of Cyactiv® was not associated with any side-effects, including negative effects on the stomach, heart, kidney or liver function.
Can pets consume Cyactiv®?
Cyactiv® is formulated for human consumption. We know of no reason that it may be harmful to pets. AFA and Spirulina have been used in the pet nutrition industry for yours. However, we have done no studies using the products for pet consumption. Please check with your veterinarian.
Suggested Usage: 2 capsules daily with food - for adults.
Not just any extract! This product is a unique proprietary phycocyanin extract from spirulina to manage systemic inflammation. Phycocyanin is the blue pigment in blue-green algae and is a potent active compound proven in 4 human clinical trials to calm systemic inflammation.

It sounds so easy, worthwhile and well, unbelievable! Why isn't everyone doing this if it is lucrative?
Well, simply put, it takes time and the payout isn't always high, if at all. I have, personally, been doing survey sites for years now. And, I do love them. I highly recommend them, BUT I do NOT, recommend paying anyone for a list of sites. I originally did this, and although I did indeed get hundreds of sites, this information is very easily obtained for free!
In general, most survey sites pay a nominal amount for each survey you take. And, before you even get to take the survey, you will be required to take screening questions, to make sure you qualify.
The sites I enjoy the most, pay you at least something to answer the screening questions. That way, you get a little money for your time. And, I have stumbled on a few surveys through the years where I made over $20. But, these are few and far between. In general, I get paid between $1.00 to $10 per survey, depending on the site, how long it is and what type of survey it is.
This is a decent amount and well worth your time, but by no means can you make a living off of this, as those other websites claim.
Do keep in mind, though, I don't qualify for many surveys that you might. My husband works for a company that manufactures baby products, hair care products and over the counter drugs. So, I am disqualified quite often. So, it is quite possible you will qualify for a lot more than me.
And, I also don't devote a lot of time to this. I take surveys when I have extra time. I don't do them everyday, although I do have offers in my inbox daily for new surveys. I find my time better spent on doing online offers, so I only do surveys when time allows.
Anyway, I wanted to give you my top list of the best survey sites to do. Simply click on the link and the sign up information will be provided for free! Again, don't pay the a website for a list of sites. Or, feel free to visit the left side bar of this page and click on any of the pictures to sign up that way. The side bar does not have ALL the survey sites I have listed below, so you are better off using the list.
- Global Test Market
- My Survey
- Survey Head
- Lightspeed Panel
- Toluna
- Survey Spot
- Opinion Outpost
- Rewarded Opinions
- HCD Surveys
- Springboard America
- Consumer Village

- Insight Exchange Team
- Data Intelligence
- Pro Opinion - Email me for invite
- eWorks Online
- FGI Research
Before getting started, I highly recommend downloading Roboform for free.
Then, I downloaded a copy of Roboform. This is a MUST HAVE when applying for many survey sites. You initially enter your information, and then everytime you apply online for anything, you click one button and it autofills everything for you!!
Believe me, put it on your PC!
Click here to download, you won't be sorry!
And, one final piece of advice, set up an email account specifically for surveys. For example, mine is surveysforcarrie at yahoo.com.
This way, when you are ready to take surveys, you simply log into that account and don't have to search through all your emails to find survey invitations. You can do a quick sort by name, log into a survey site, and then take all available surveys. Since you just took all the available surveys, you can quickly go back to your email and delete ALL the emails from that survey company, since you logged in and did them all. This also saves time from having to click on each email and read it individually.
After you have Roboform and your new email account, begin signing up and then checking your email inbox. Surveys will begin arriving immediately and daily. It is indeed a lot of fun to share my input with these companies while making a little bit of money!
I am sure you will enjoy the experience and $$ as well!

Navy Recognition has a short update on the status of the C-130J in the Long Range Search fleet. For more info on the program, check here.
19 thoughts on "J Model C-130 Status"
Lockheed announces receipt of a multi-year contract for delivery of C-130Js to the Air Force and Marine Corps that also includes an option for five C-130Js for the Coast Guard. http://lockheedmartin.com/us/news/press-releases/2015/december/C130MultiYear.html
Apparently the option has been exercised for the first of five. This also gives the status of the J model purchases and modifications, including the MSS+ program. http://www.uscg.mil/acquisition/newsroom/updates/C130J010816.asp
The Seventh J-model being readied for delivery next month. http://www.uscgnews.com/go/doc/4007/2800973/
Sounds like the Air Force may have some excess parts we might use. http://www.defensenews.com/story/military/2016/04/02/air-force-squandered-millions-dollars-excess-c-130j-parts-ig-says/82526048/
Status of the C-130J program and missionization. http://www.uscg.mil/acquisition/newsroom/updates/HC130J051216.asp
Seventh missionized aircraft delivered. Aircraft 11, 12, and 13 on order for delivery in baseline configuration in 2017.
"The Coast Guard accepted delivery of its eighth missionized HC-130J Super Hercules long range surveillance aircraft at Lockheed Martin's Greenville, South Carolina, plant Dec. 12.
"Missionization is the process of installing Coast Guard-specific integrated radar, sensor and communications systems. The aircraft CGNR 2008 is missionized with the legacy system currently installed on six HC-130Js operating out of Air Station Elizabeth City, North Carolina. It is the last HC-130J to receive the legacy mission system before the Coast Guard upgrades the fleet with the Minotaur mission system processor.
"The aircraft is the third HC-130J to enter the Minotaur mission system production program. The Coast Guard began flight testing of the Minotaur prototype aircraft in June 2016. The Minotaur prototype aircraft operates out of Naval Air Station Patuxent River, Maryland, and was also originally outfitted with the legacy system. Four additional aircraft are currently in production or under contract, with delivery of baseline configuration aircraft scheduled to begin later this month."
From CG-9. https://www.uscg.mil/acquisition/newsroom/updates/HC130J_122716.asp
The Coast Guard on Dec. 16 awarded an option worth approximately $14.6 million to L-3 Communications Integrated Systems Platform Integration Division in Waco, Texas, for Minotaur missionization of what will be the 11th HC-130J Super Hercules long range surveillance aircraft in its fleet.
The 11th HC-130J is currently in production and is scheduled for delivery in its baseline configuration in early 2018. Following this delivery, the aircraft will undergo installation of Minotaur mission system software and integrated radar, sensor and communications systems specific to the Coast Guard's needs. This missionization is planned to take about a year.
The Coast Guard has eight HC-130Js missionized with its legacy system. Six of these aircraft are operating out of Air Station Elizabeth City, North Carolina. One has been retrofitted with the Minotaur mission system to become the Minotaur prototype and is based at Naval Air Station Patuxent River, Maryland, for continued testing. Another entered the Minotaur integration process Dec. 13, 2016.
The first Super Hercules to enter the Minotaur integration process in its baseline configuration was CGNR 2009. Its missionization began in April 2016. This aircraft will be used to validate changes made to the Minotaur prototype.
The 10th aircraft is currently in production and is scheduled for delivery in its baseline configuration in early 2017, after which it will undergo Minotaur missionization. The 12th and 13th aircraft are under contract and are scheduled for delivery in their baseline configuration in 2019.
C-130J #10 delivered. https://www.uscg.mil/acquisition/newsroom/updates/HC130J_030317.asp
Still needs to be missionized.
CG procures five C-130J engines. What I found interesting is that Kodiak will be getting "J" models. https://www.uscg.mil/acquisition/newsroom/updates/LRS_PhotoUpdate031717.asp
HC-130J Minotaur Prototype Delivered To Fleet
June 21, 2017 http://www.dcms.uscg.mil/Our-Organization/Assistant-Commandant-for-Acquisitions-CG-9/Newsroom/HC130J_062117/
14th J model ordered. Press release quoted below.
Sept. 15, 2017
Using funds transferred from the Coast Guard, the Air Force awarded an option Sept. 14 worth approximately $63.5 million to Lockheed Martin Corp. for production of one C-130J Super Hercules long range surveillance aircraft, the 14th of the service's planned acquisition of 22 C-130Js.
The aircraft is scheduled to be delivered in April 2020. All work will be completed at the Lockheed Martin Aeronautics facility in Marietta, Georgia.
The Air Force is the U.S. government's executive agent for all C-130 procurements. This award is part of a multiyear procurement contract that includes an option for the Coast Guard to acquire a 15th C-130J. Baseline aircraft purchases beyond that will be negotiated via future contract actions.
The Coast Guard has accepted delivery of 10 C-130J aircraft. Four HC-130Js are operating out of Air Station Elizabeth City, North Carolina, and are equipped with legacy mission system suite capabilities that will be upgraded to the Minotaur Mission System Suite. A fifth aircraft, the HC-130J Minotaur prototype (CGNR 2003), was delivered to the air station in June.
Production of C-130Js 11-13 is currently underway, with delivery of base configuration aircraft expected in 2018 and 2019. Those aircraft will enter the Minotaur integration process with the L3 Technologies Inc. Integrated Systems Platform Integration Division in Waco, Texas, upon delivery.

Coast Guard Accepts 11th C-130J
Nov. 29, 2017
The Coast Guard accepted delivery of its 11th C-130J Super Hercules long range surveillance aircraft at Lockheed Martin Aeronautics' Marietta, Georgia, facility Nov. 21.
The aircraft was delivered to the Coast Guard in its baseline configuration and will be inducted into the Minotaur mission system suite modification program at L3 Technologies' Integrated Systems Platform Integration Division in Waco, Texas, later this month. At Waco, the aircraft will receive Coast Guard-specific integrated radar, sensor and communications systems, after which the aircraft will be redesignated as an HC-130J. The Coast Guard's fleet integration team in Waco oversees this process on the C-130Js. The L3 division will also paint the aircraft prior to its delivery as an HC-130J.
Of the other 10 aircraft delivered, seven HC-130Js are operating out of Air Station Elizabeth City, North Carolina: three with Minotaur and four with the legacy mission system. Three aircraft have entered the Minotaur mission system suite modification program in Waco, with the next missionized aircraft delivery scheduled for 2018.
C-130Js 12-14 are under contract, with delivery of two expected in 2019 and one in 2020.

Coast Guard Exercises HC-130J Minotaur Installation Options
Jan. 12, 2018
The Coast Guard exercised two contract options, worth a combined total of approximately $29.3 million, to L3 Technologies Integrated Systems Platform Integration Division in Waco, Texas, on Dec. 22, 2017, for installation of the Minotaur mission system suite on two C-130J Super Hercules long range surveillance aircraft.
Minotaur is used on multiple platforms across the departments of Defense and Homeland Security. Installation of the system, or missionization, involves modifying the aircraft to incorporate the radar; sensors; and remaining command, control, communications, computers, intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance equipment that allows aircrews to gather and process surveillance information for transmission to shore and surface operators.
These two contract options will cover missionization of CGNRs 2012 and 2013, which are currently in baseline production at Lockheed Martin's Marietta, Georgia, facility. Minotaur installation is complete on three HC-130Js: CGNR 2003, the HC-130J Minotaur prototype; CGNR 2008, the first to receive a mission system retrofit at Waco; and CGNR 2009, the first to undergo Minotaur installation from the baseline C-130J configuration. These three aircraft are among the seven HC-130Js operating out of Air Station Elizabeth City, North Carolina; the other four aircraft are operating with the legacy mission system.
Four additional aircraft are undergoing missionization at Waco: two are receiving retrofits, and two entered the process from their baseline configuration.
Appears the Air National Guard is modernizing some of their C-130H aircraft with the engines and propellers from the J model. https://www.dvidshub.net/news/262274/upgraded-c-130-arrives-testing
Forth missionized C-130J accepted. Also status of the program in general. http://www.dcms.uscg.mil/Our-Organization/Assistant-Commandant-for-Acquisitions-CG-9/Newsroom/HC130J_020718/
Another Minotaur equipped J model delivered. All currently at Elizabeth City. Hopefully we will see some on the Pacific side soon. https://www.dcms.uscg.mil/Our-Organization/Assistant-Commandant-for-Acquisitions-CG-9/Newsroom/HC130J_041018/

Location: St. Pierre, Martinique
The day started out with the anchor dragging at 5:30am, followed by a quick motor to Fort de France, the largest city I've seen down here so far. Apparently the fort is still a working fort. After visiting Fort de France we motored to St. Pierre, on the north tip of Martinique. Great breakfast and dinner. We also saw the green flash tonight for the first time, and a large turtle during dinner.

If you have heard Pete Best speak in recent years, you will have surely heard him say something along the lines of how he still does not understand the reason why he was let go. That he thought everything was going well between himself and the Beatles and when he was called into Brian Epstein's office, he had no clue that he was going to be fired. He was completely blindsided about the whole thing and to this day has no idea whatsoever why they left him go.
Spencer Leigh, while staying neutral throughout the book, outlines all of the possible reasons why Pete might have been let go. The reasons he lists are as follows:
1. Pete Best was a lousy drummer
2. Pete Best was not a versatile drummer
3. George Martin did not like Pete Best's drumming
4. Ringo Starr was a better drummer than Pete Best
5. The other Beatles were jealous of Pete's good looks
6. Pete didn't fit in with the Beatles
7. Pete refused to have a Beatle haircut
8. Mona Best's Interference
9. Pete Best rejected Brian Epstein's advances
10. Pete Best was unreliable
11. It was just hard luck
12. Instant Karma
13. Who Knows?
Some of them were easy to be refuted (such as the one about Pete not being reliable) but others were pretty valid. Leigh leaves it up to the reader to decide, and I have came to the conclusion that there was not just one thing that caused the Beatles to drop Pete as their drummer. It had to have been a mix of things on this list.
What I liked the most about this book was the chart that was included that showed which person (John, Paul, George, Ringo, Brian, George M.) had given which of the above reasons for why Pete was fired. However, I had the book on Kindle and the chart was spread over several pages and was difficult to read. I may need to get the hard copy version of the book in the near future so that I can really look at this chart. For this reason, I do not recommend the Kindle version of the book.
I was able to read the book in one day and I found it to be a very easy read. It isn't full of new information about the Beatles or Pete Best, but it is a book that makes you think a little bit more about this topic.
You can find the book on Amazon.

- Dr Baker on JRE said listen to Dave Feldman as the guy to help understand cholesterol levels
- Read my review of the Carnivore Training System online health coaching program by Dr Shawn Baker
In today's interview I get to speak with carnivore diet advocate, Dr Shawn Baker, about the benefits of eating an all meat diet vs keto or low carb diet.
Dr Baker is very passionate about the carnivore diet for humans and the health benefits of eating mainly different kinds meat and not needing to eat vegetables or fruits.
He is apart of the growing zero carb diet movement, but he explains why he prefers to use the term carnivore vs zero carb.
In the interview you'll hear the back story behind why Dr Baker is a fan of this novel way of eating for optimal health. He explains his journey from health problems to fixing it with dietary changes. This involved going on a low carb diet to then ketogenic diet to finally finding his ideal diet of just meat and water.
Dr Baker shares some great information about how easy it is to live his way of life and how he is not concerned about eating that much red meat or protein.
If you know someone who is interested in the zero carb plan then this is the episode for them to explain how it works and how to get started!
I enjoyed this interview as I love eating meat and I personally find animal protein makes me feel good, however, I have never chatted with someone who eats just meat and is finding it has helped heal their body.
Special thanks to Shawn for joining me on the show. Enjoy the episode!

Highlights of what we talk about during the interview:
Click on one of the timestamp links in the brackets to jump to that point in the interview audio.[0:20] – Introducing Dr. Shawn Baker, a board certified orthopaedic surgeon (based in California), multi-sport world record holding Masters 50+ Athlete. [1:01] – Shawn is passionate about finding out and doing what works best for him. He explains how, through a process of experimentation, he came to the realisation that nutrition should be very simple and that a zero-carb diet works best for him – a lot of other people have found this to be true as well. [2:55] – Shawn's personal eating journey; six years ago, when his health was suffering he started to look at his diet. He explains how – while monitoring his progress using the Concept 2 rower – he experimented with the paleo diet, the low-carb diet, and the different variations of the ketogenic diet (including the DH Kiefer carb nite back-loading method). Only seeing improvements with the ketogenic diet, Shawn decided to go zero-carb and found that's when he felt the best. [7:38] – Some of the other improvements due to the zero-carb diet included improvements of certain age-related skin conditions, as well as, a reduction of aches and pains. But Shawn believes that the Concept 2 rowing machine is the most objective way to measure improvement through measuring performance. [9:31] – How is the carnivorous diet is different to a zero-carb diet? Shawn explains why this is a misnomer; most people on zero-carb diets are on a carnivorous diet and are eating some degree of carbohydrates through eggs, cheeses and certain meats. What they avoid eating is anything derived from plants. Shawn's personal diet tends to consist of 95% red meat, the rest is eggs, cheese and seafood. [13:59] – While he did feel good on a ketogenic diet, Shawn wanted to push to the extremes of performance. After about a month on an all meat diet his performance continued to improve and he took two seconds of his rowing time; his previous time was an American record for the 40+ age group at the time (Shawn was 49). (ref) [15:01] – Shawn explains the benefits of zero-carb vs ketogenic diet from a performance standpoint. All meat diet results in a fair bit of time spent in ketosis with a ketogenic diet, however, there can be too much protein restriction (Nutritionist Emily Maguire mentioned this). We know creatine and protein absolutely support performance. Shawn also acknowledges there are questions around how much protein is too much? Can it knock us out of ketosis? Does it cause gluconeogenesis? Does it speed up aging? There also seem to be benefits to joint pain with carnivorous diets. [19:01] – Can we continue to increase performance while ageing? Traditional advice dictates we are unable to recover as efficiently or train as intensely as we age. Shawn explains why he believes taking up the carnivorous diet helped his recovery and proved this school of thought to be wrong in his case. [21:40] – Shawn's carnivorous diet is enough to fuel his gruelling exercise regime without needing carbs for fuel. He explains how his body is adapted to efficiently convert other sources of energy into glycogen. It takes time (about three weeks) to adapt to a shift in diet. We often hear about the keto flu when going keto, similar effects are felt for any metabolic adaptation that happens when we switch to a different fuel source for burning energy. [25:20] – Talking about the respiratory quotient shifts, which generally shift within three weeks of taking up the carnivorous diet. Other adaptations may take even longer and we may continue to improve for some time after the shift. [26:13] – How would someone go from a low-carb to a carnivorous diet? With low-carb and keto diets there is a lot of macro manipulation but with the carnivorous diet Shawn eats when he is hungry, generally twice a day, breakfast/lunch time and early evening; about two pounds a meat per meal. Shawn believes we should be eating more like most other animals and our appetites should be a good regulator telling us when we are supposed to eat. Recently, this has been pushed out of balance with the modern way of eating. [30:01] – There is some controversy around this, but in Shawn's experience there is zero determined in excluding fruits and vegetables from the diet. There is a misconception about this being a weight loss diet, while that may happen it's not necessarily the case. Shawn explains most people on a modern diet are undernourished, regardless of their weight, and are missing a lot of protein. It may take several years to reverse that and build all that structure, inside and out. Eating meat helps restore tissue. Big mistake is under-eating coming into this diet as it seems like a lot of meat. [33:09] – While Shawn's weight is stable (4000-5000 cal/day at 110kg) his strength is increasing. He talks about the strength-to-weight ratio which is important in terms of rowing. While the diet might not be ideal for bodybuilding, in terms of performance and strength it works great. Shawn acknowledges that in addition to his diet his outstanding athletic performance is also due to his experience as an athlete with a lifetime of training and hard work to back it up. [34:50] – There is some anecdotal evidence to suggest this diet might help with sarcopenia which Shawn is hoping to be able to test. He also, mentions Ted Naiman's graphic showing what the elderly population generally eats and explains why he believes the sarcopenia in addition to a loss of mass in other organs could be diet related. [37:15] – Talking about kids diets and teaching them how to read labels and make good choices. It's important for children to understand that food impacts their health. Shawn favours his kids eating meat first and then if they are still hungry they eat cheese, eggs or maybe a ketogenic desert. They are not on the carnivorous diet yet, perhaps when they are older. [40:30] – There have been studies saying that too much red meat causes bowel cancer and too much protein can harm the kidneys. For the latter, a nephrologist Dr Jason Fung's studies and have not found this be true. Unless perhaps you already have failing kidneys to begin with but even then, people have been known to reverse chronic kidney disease eating diet high in protein. Shawn talks about the weak evidence behind the WHO study classifying red-meat and processed meat as a class 1 carcinogen. Psychiatrist, Dr Georgia Ede, wrote a great critique on that on how this report was misleading. [44:44] – In terms of side effects experienced during the transition to a new fuel source Shawn had a headache which was rectified with a bit more salt and water or by simply eating more. People might also experience low energy, might be a little lethargic and might experience a lower appetite. There is a misconception meat diets cause constipation, but this is not the case. Meat is very well absorbed and there is very little waste produced so frequency of bowl movements might reduce, however. [47:16] – Shawn's joint pain was reduced, his joints felt better on carnivorous and even keto diets. He believes certain foods can have a negative impact and by removing those your joints feel as good as possible. Many people report similar relief in joint pain, and it goes away even weight loss which indicates inflammation plays a big part. [49:19] – Shawn shares some of his experiences with patients. Generally, patients fare better if they lose some weight, so how he would try putting them on low carb/ketogenic diets. In certain cases, this was so successful and their joints improved so much they cancelled surgeries. Shawn explains how the hospital took issue with this as it was cutting into profit margins. He also sheds lights on the hospital system and interests in procedures in lieu of lifestyle based interventions. This was one of the contributing factors that ked to a change of focus for Shawn, who is now looking to make a bigger impact more broadly with lifestyle related solutions. [53:52] – Shawn currently operates locum tenens, and only has anecdotal reports to go on. He talks about starting a website Nequalsmany.com where they are trying to consolidate some of the anecdotal reports and are hoping to set up studies to see how diet impacts people. There could be thousands of people participating and contributing data not biased by industry stakeholders. Currently people are signing-up to do a pure meat and water diet study and they will be logging different things. [56:49] – Gary talks about a study published in the Journal of Anaesthetics that released fraudulent data and the idea of 'citizen scientist' sharing data and taking matters into their own hand. Shawn mentions Tim Noakes' "the wisdom of the crowds" and the potential to get big numbers of people participating, as well as keeping the raw data open to allow people to make their own conclusions – a lot of research studies hide raw data and manipulate the conclusion. (ref) [58:49] – There is a science to interpreting research papers, which can be difficult, especially if one is not familiar with the subject matter. Researcher, Zoë Harcombe, is great at interpreting data, which can often be presented in a misleading manner to the public. [59:40] – Nutritional research can be challenging as there are so many confounders that are usually present. How does one define what 'meat eaters' mean? In most studies, this can include people who eat burgers at McDonalds and then follow that with a coke and fries, then there are people like Shawn. This is the advantage of the carnivorous study, it gets away from these confounders. [1:00:49] – Shawn did some research on eating like this to see what is available to people and how affordable it is. Buying grass-fed, organic beef is not doable for most people. Shawn explains that while grass-fed beef is superior nutritiously, the difference is not huge. Eating the cheaper meat is still better than eating processed, packaged foods. See Shawn's example photo of a bun less burger to get an idea how you can eat at a fast food place like McDonalds, Wendy's, Burger King etc… even on a carnivorous diet. [1:03:53] – The final point Shawn makes is that he believes the phytonutrients from vegetables aren't essential. He talks about how the studies are executed to prove a chemical in a plant may be beneficial and why what he sees in practice doesn't seem to be supporting what we have been told. Don't be afraid to eat more meat! [1:07:47] – To follow Shawn, or if you have an idea for a future study please contact contact please him using one of the links below.
