I set my gym bag down just inside the front door, and think for a moment.
Hmm. I'm hungry.
I could use a healthy snack. Something appropriate for a post-workout situation. I need to replenish some of those what-do-you-call-em, electrolytes? Endorphins? Dilithium crystals? I should have an apple. Or one of those great protein bars that taste like a combination of calcium and ass.
Hey... what's that big box over there on the table?
Well, what do you know. It's a carton of Girl Scout cookies. Oh yea, that's right. My daughter's a scout. And a few days ago, she and my wife filled a wagon with cookie boxes and peddled them around the neighborhood. (If you don't have a Girl Scout in your house, the way it works is, before you start selling, you back your car up to the the Super Magic Cookie Warehouse and they fill your trunk with all the cookies you're supposed to sell up front. The idea is that you'll sell more if you can deliver the product immediately upon purchase, rather than collect orders and deliver them later when the shipment arrives.)
I peek into the open box. Why, look at that. I guess Saucy and Mini-Pirate didn't sell all the boxes over the weekend. There appears to be an unpurchased box of Thin Mints left.
You know, there's no rule saying parents aren't allowed to eat any of the cookies themselves. You can -- you just have to pay for them. And each box can't be that much, right? A few bucks? Hell, that's no big thang. What kind of miser would I be if I wasn't willing to donate a few paltry dollars to an organization that helps nurture and mentor young girls to be the Leaders of Tomorrow?
Well. Clearly, I'd be a selfish ass if I wasn't willing to contribute something.
I open the box of Thin Mints. For the cause.
Each box of Thin Mints contains two cellophane-wrapped columns of 16 cookies each.
I just worked out. I lifted heavy things and put them down again -- like a bunch of times in a row. Do I not deserve one Thin Mint?
Sure I do. And so I open one column, pluck out one cookie: thin, elegant, savory. I eat it carefully, and I enjoy it to the fullest: the chocolate coating, the crisp break of the minty cookie that crumbles into my mouth. Delicious. And I'm pretty sure there's a hearty helping of electrolytes in a Thin Mint. I think I read an article about that.
Mm. Very good. A good snack. Well done. Ok then.
I start to wrap up the tower of cookies and put it back in the box with its twin, when it occurs to me that these individual Thin Mints are really very thin. Super thin. Like, they're barely even a whole cookie. In fact, it would probably take three Thin Mints to equal one regular-sized cookie. Which means if I eat two more, I'm really only finishing up one cookie, right?
I eat two more.
Delicious. My fingers have faint chocolately smudges on them. Which I will wash off. After I have one more cookie.
Did I say one more? I meant three more. That's so funny how that happens.
Within two minutes, half of the first cookie column is gone. And it occurs to me as I look at the remaining half, that it's just silly to put half a column back in the box. If you're going to have a snack, have a snack, am I right? And I ate those first eight Thin Mints so quickly that I probably burned as many calories as I would've gained eating them in the first place. PLUS, I'm still sort of sweaty from working out, which means my body's metabolism is still clicking at a higher, post-exercise pace for a few more minutes anyway. That's not an opportunity one should squander.
A few minutes later, I look down at an empty cellophane wrapper and realize I've just eaten one whole column of Thin Mints. That's 16 of them. Wow. That was fast. How'd that happen?
You know what's lame? leaving a box of cookies with one remaining column rattling around in it. Who does that? I mean, it makes no sense.
Fifteen more minutes pass. That's when I realize I've just eaten an entire box of Thin Mints. 32 cookies in less time than it takes to watch a sitcom. 32 is 32, even if they're pretty thin.
Urp. I'm not proud of what just happened. I definitely just undid whatever good might otherwise have come from my morning workout. Plus I don't feel so good. My stomach is too full, and not with a bounty of nutrients and electrolytes. I'm feeling jittery, weighed down, and my teeth are black with crumbs. I'm shaking. I think I might have the Cookie Madness.
But it was for a good cause, I try to remind myself shakily. I have to remember to put some money in Mini-P's cookie envelope. I'm paying for her and her fellow scouts to do something awesome someday, I know -- maybe this money will help them go to space camp. I tell myself I just did a good thing.
I go to fetch some money from my wallet when I pass by that open carton again.
Hey, that wasn't the last box of Thin Mints at all....
God help me.

Thank you
So you're barreling along, booking tour dates, doing your promotion, playing the gigs and generally feeling pretty good about the way things are going. Yes? But you're thinking to yourself, "How can I spice things up, make them more exciting for everyone, especially the media and bring a bit more attention to this road show?" The answer—Themes.
Upon returning from New Orleans where I moderated a panel on "Accessing the Media." My panelists were a music critic, a publicist and a radio programmer. At one point during the workshop our attention was focused upon creating media events to capture audience, press, TV and radio. We were not talking about media events for visiting dignitaries. We were discussing a simple CD release and how, with a little creative mind expansion, some planning and some outreach to community businesses and organizations, you can turn that simple CD release into a media event. So what does it take to make the media notice you? How can you incorporate this approach each time you want to stir things up?
First, let's talk about themes. I always teach my seminar attendees to crystallize a description of their act into a single sentence and then into three to five words. If we take this approach a bit further, think about how you can create a theme around a CD title, the type of music you play, your name, the title song you want to push to radio, create a name for the upcoming tour, etc. For example, the publicist on the panel had worked with B.B. King. Not only did they focus on the Blues genre by working the color blue into all the decorations when hosting a restaurant event, but they manipulated a menu of foods to include everything with "King" in the name—King Crab Legs, Chicken a la King, you get the idea. When planning, these ideas were incorporated into the invitations, press releases and all of the pre-promotion to get people and the press excited about the event and what they could expect when attending this shin dig. It grabbed their attention.
Another angle that becomes very important is how you involve community businesses and organizations. When you approach a restaurant or club about hosting a CD release, they are likely to pull out their room rental sheet and begin tallying up costs to give you an estimate. But, if you approach them with a theme that reaches beyond just you and your CD release, and incorporates a local, regional or national charitable organization, then they start figuring "in-kind" services as their donation and the media attention the event is likely to get. The theme gives them something to get excited about and gives them a creative jumping off point. As a marketing tool, all involved in supporting a theme become inspired co-workers eager to add their specialty to the overall product or event. It really does get people's creative juices flowing. When the event is coordinated so that a charity is the ultimate beneficiary, media coverage grows exponentially. Businesses are more likely to donate services in exchange for association with the event and the subsequent media attention they'll receive. This attention far outweighs that which they might receive from straight advertising. The event takes on a new meaning as you bring a great deal more attention to the cause and ultimately your CD, your act and the event than would have been possible using a non-thematic approach.
It takes creative thinking, even exercising some outrageous ideas to move beyond the basics and into the realm of staging media events. Finding a theme to ignite your ideas makes it easy and more exciting for all involved. Here are a few suggestions as you consider incorporating a thematic approach into your career.
Think about your plans for the next two years - What events, projects, tours are in the works? Begin to think about themes for these new projects. Brainstorm with group members, managers, record labels and publicists as you discuss the next projects. Work the theme into your plans as you develop the project, tour, or recording. As you begin planning for each event and begin to incorporate the theme for that event, consider the following:
Think about the businesses that you could involve in the theme. When ready, create a proposal that will get them excited about being an integral part of the event. Think about how this will benefit them and share that with them when presenting the proposal.
Think about community charities that you could align yourself with that would be a natural fit with your theme. If you are particularly interested in a specific organization, strive to create a long-lasting relationship that might span the years as you grow your career.
Consider your graphics, posters, colors, and any design features that will enhance the overall execution of the theme to expand its impact on the media and the public.
Will food be involved in the event? If so, how can the theme be carried over into the catering? This can be very simple and low cost. When all the players involved are participating because it benefits a higher cause, the sponsor donates most of their costs. When you have a clever theme and a good cause, sponsors will be attracted to your event and want to participate.
Will a specific location be important to the theme's execution? Get any licenses you might need from the city or county. Check local event calendars to make sure your event won't interfere with another scheduled for the same day.
Now might this cost some money? Yes! Will the payoff be greater? Many times greater than sending out a few press releases hoping they get printed or even noticed. If you plan ahead and build associations as you incorporate these themes into your plan, donations, sponsorships and in-kind services will cover many costs. When you consider the cost of a large mailing or a phone campaign to get radio attention, a media event approach has potential to impact a much broader audience. As you get used to creating budgets for each project you undertake, it becomes apparent how you might dole out bits of your budget to prospective sponsors to have the costs of various line items completely covered by the sponsor. When you being incorporating a thematic approach to each project, the planning, the budgeting and the creativity all become worth the effort as you evaluate the results. Yes, it is a bit more work initially, but the outcome is magnified many times over, placing you among the true professionals to be reckoned with in this business.
Step out of the ordinary and place your act among the unique, the outrageous and the extraordinary, who are gaining momentum in their careers because they dared to be more interesting than the competition. It all starts with choosing a theme for your next project. Work that theme from all angles and you will be pleasantly surprised at the end results.

.22 Rimfire for Defensive Work?

Well, if I had to use a 22 for defense, I would use a rifle. Some ammo will come out of a rifle with the same energy as a 38 out of a revolver. I would want a few 25 round magazines though.
Here's what I would do as the op. I would buy bulk 22 ammo to practice with, and a box of good 22 ammo. Practice with the 22 rifles and pistols routinely and then buy a box of 38 once a quarter and shoot that up. Buy a box of good defense ammo for your 38s and don't shoot it up.
Keep the 38s loaded at home and a couple magazines loaded for the 22 rifles.
As for buying an lcr. I would skip it and just practice with light target loads until such a time that you have more money.

We have several Apple stores in Panama. They're called MacStores and all of them look gorgeous. Apple has a way with industrial design and all their products reflect this manifest characteristic.
From computers to smartphones, Apple products are known for being stylish, powerful and pleasing to use. They are edited products that cut through complexity, by consciously leaving things out—not cramming every feature that came into an engineer's head, an affliction known as "featuritis" that burdens so many technology products.
Even their retail stores carry this unique design style. A perfect example is Apple's retail store in downtown New York City. This iconic outlet opened its doors on May 19, 2006 at 767 Fifth Avenue. The store in itself is all underground, except for the entrance, a 32-foot glass cube right in front of the General Motors building opposite the Plaza Hotel and Bergdorf Goodman. This glass cube is a must-visit landmark in the Big Apple.
I found an Apple store at a recent visit to Metro Plaza, and it also had a faint resemblance to Apple's store in New York. Beautiful transparent glass everywhere and an awesome black-and-white sign. Absolutely Beautiful.
Below are several pictures of this ubiquitous consumer electronic store with a logo you can't miss. Here we go.
Great products, according to Mr. Jobs, are triumphs of "taste." And taste, he explains, is a byproduct of study, observation and being steeped in the culture of the past and present, of "trying to expose yourself to the best things humans have done and then bring those things into what you are doing." There's no doubt, there is taste in Apple's retail stores as well. Good Day.

Tim Tebow should be playing for Florida Tuskers, not Denver Broncos
Tim Tebow should be the starting quarterback of the Florida Tuskers instead of a third-team bench jockey for the Denver Broncos.
No, I'm serious.
Think about it: The Tuskers of the United Football League will play their home opener Thursday night against the Las Vegas Locomotives in the Citrus Bowl and, quite frankly, there isn't exactly a buzz about it. In fact, the biggest story coming out of Tuskers camp this week has nothing to do with the game. It is that former NFL quarterback Joe Theismann is talking about buying the team. With all due respect, I don't think fans are going to flock to the Citrus Bowl to see Theismann sit in the owner's box and try to figure out how to make payroll.
Imagine the good it would do both Tebow and the Tuskers if he were playing in Orlando this season. Tebow would be be learning from Jay Gruden, one of the best offensive minds in football. He'd actually be playing and getting accustomed to the pro style of offense. He could hone his new throwing motion in real games in front of real fans.
Instead, he sits on the bench with Orton and Quinn ahead of him on the depth chart.
The Tuskers could certainly use Tebow's marketability. If Tebow were playing at home Thursday in Orlando, there would be 40,000 fans there instead of 5,000 or 10,000. The UFL is a good brand of football with some recognizable names (see ), but, frankly, it gets lost in the NBA-NFL-college football fervor that grips this area this time of year.
Too bad football is not more like baseball in one respect. Wouldn't it be great if the major league team (Broncos) drafted a player (Tebow) and shipped him to the the minors (Tuskers) for a year to develop his skills and learn the game?
Joe Theismann himself once said, "Nobody in the game of football should be called a genius. A genius is somebody like Norman Einstein."
Well, it doesn't take a Norman Einstein — or even an Albert Einstein for that matter — to figure out that the Tuskers and Tim Tebow would have been the perfect football marriage.

Gear Review
So Good!
By dan2822186 November 13, 2009
I've been looking around for some high quality ski pants for my mom's Christmas present, and these just arrived in the mail. I was looking for the highest waterproof rating with light insulation (for CO skiing in Summit County), for around $200. So I found these Oakley's, which just arrived in the mail. Now my mom hasn't gotten to use them in the snow yet, but I'm stoaked on the purchase. I'm surprised by the amount of 'critical fleece' which is Thinsulate in the entire rear AND crotch AND the whole front legs! All that fleece made these pants weigh a little more than I expected, but they're not too heavy to actively move around in. And the zippers seem so quality, fully taped seams, venting on outside and inside legs! SO GOOD! I - or my mom (since these are her's after Christmas) haven't tested out the waterproof, but 15K is high up there, so I'm not worried at all. Overall these pants have surpassed my expectations and are of top notch design and quality, and at a great price. Oh- I can't review the sizing yet, but maybe after Christmas when my mom gets them.

I've been trying to edit the base income with corsix but i cant actually find the base income for any resource.
I've been trying to edit the base income with corsix but i cant actually find the base income for any resource.
any indication of where inside it?
that didnt do anything?
The income values are set in a different way, if I remember correctly. Not in any .rgd files anywhere. Cannot remember though. Been gone a long time. But somewhere in a script or something.
people on this modding forum are so informed :/
There are a number of income modifiers you can use, just look in the modifiers folder.
As for the SCAR method:
Source: http://www.docs.frostbite.linkpc.net...c/scar_doc.htmCode:ModID Modify_PlayerResourceRate( PlayerID playerId, Integer resourceType, Real scalefactor )
The base income is in the EBPS of the HQ buildings (or vehicle, for British). It's a modifier apply action in one of the tables, which gives the base amount. The rest is supplied by the modifiers in the EBPS's for the resource points.
The Base Incomes of factions are given as follows:
Allies, Wehr, PE:
abilities/resource_manpower_player_default (always active)
ebps/races/******/buildings/hq(_*) (active when building is not destroyed)
abilities/resource_manpower_commonwealth_default (always active)
abilities/resource_commonwealth_set_up_hq (active when HQ truck is set up)
Thank you Jes

My Profile
Paris Pass
Paris, France
My Rating
It was a great feeling knowing that we could easily move around Paris and visit the locations in which we were interested. We used the hop on bus tour both days, the first for taking pictures of the sites and the second for enjoying the information offered (without worrying about getting those important pictures) as well as getting us to the days' multiple destinations. The metro was very easy to use. Loved not having to line up for museums. A great way to see Paris in a short time period. A good introduction to the city which will help us on our next visit. We found the locals to be very helpful when we asked for restaurant suggestions in various locations or when asking for directions. (One of our group of five understood the fast speakers.)

Dr. Kurt Guidry, LSU AgCenter Ag Economist provided the following information concerning disaster assistance and the 2008 Farm Bill:
One of the new features of the 2008 Farm Bill was that permanent disaster assistance programs were included. What this inclusion does is now automatically makes disaster assistance programs available to producers in parishes that have been declared as a disaster area without having Congress have to create new legislation to make funds available.
Unlike in some previous disaster assistance programs, however, the programs outlined in the 2008 Farm Bill require that producers have crop insurance or non-insured crop disaster assistance (NAP) coverage on all the land for which assistance is being requested. Since the 2008 Farm Bill was not passed to after some of the insurance sign-up period, the Farm Bill allows producers, who did not get crop insurance or NAP coverage for 2008 to "buy-in" to the disaster assistance program.
Every producer whose crops, including grazing lands, are not fully covered by crop insurance or NAP may take advantage of this one-time opportunity. The buy-in fee is due no later than Sept. 16, 2008. Those who miss this opportunity will not be eligible for disaster assistance.
Producers are also reminded that the payment of the applicable buy-in fee does not afford the producer crop insurance or NAP coverage; it only affords eligibility for the 2008 disaster programs. Producers who meet the definition of "Socially Disadvantaged, Limited
Resource," or "Beginning Farmer or Rancher," do not have to meet the Risk Management Purchase Requirement, and, therefore, are not required to pay the buy-in fee.
The buy-in fee for 2008 eligibility only for either the catastrophic risk protection insurance (CAT) or NAP is $100 per crop, but not more than $300 per producer per administrative county, or $900 total per producer for all counties less any previously paid fees for CAT and/or NAP. Producers can contact their local administrative FSA County Office to file the application for waiver and pay the applicable fees. Payment of the applicable fees will allow the producer to be eligible for benefits for losses under the following disaster assistance programs:
Supplemental Revenue Assistance Payments (SURE) Program, Livestock Forage Disaster Program (LFP), Tree Assistance Program (TAP), and Emergency Assistance Livestock, Honeybees and Farm-Raised Fish Program (ELAP).
This "buy-in" is not required for producers to participate in the Livestock Indemnity Program (LIP).
Producers are strongly encouraged to contact their local Farm Service Agency (FSA) office to determine if this ìbuy-inî waiver is needed for their operation.
SURE Program
One of the programs made available with the passage of the 2008 Farm Bill was the Supplemental Revenue Assistance Payments (SURE) program. The USDA has recently released a spreadsheet based calculator that will allow you to estimate the amount of disaster assistance that may be available to a producer. The calculator can be found at the following webpage: www.fsa.usda.gov/FSA/fbapp?area=fbhome&subject=landing&topic=landing.

Coveney hoping for answers on horse meat scandal 'within hours'
on 16/01/2013 13:55:26
Minister Coveney has moved to allay fears about Irish beef products after horse DNA was found in burgers manufactured in Ireland - and sold in Dunnes, Tesco, Lidl, Aldi and Iceland.
Minister Coveney said that he has spoken to the head of Tesco Ireland this morning to discuss the company's concerns.
He said that there is a robust food-tracking system in place in Ireland from farm to fork, with an audit carried out on one of the processing plants in question just last month.
"We would have done an audit of Sivercrest, which is the company in the spotlight here, in December," he said.
"So the meat that has come into that processing facility from Ireland is fully traceable back to the farm, and what we're trying to track at the moment is the added product that we think came from abroad, and hopefully within hours, but certainly within days, we will have the answers to those questions."

Thinking about thinking through multimedia - talk by:
Nicholas Reynolds from the Univ of Melbourne.
This was a study on pre-service teachers.
A task was developed modelled of sound constructivist principles where students had to create a program using microworld and reflect on this process in terms of teaching.
The students were generally passive computer users - not engaging with trying to make the computers do something for them. Were not seen as 'digital natives'.
Their task was to construct a multimedia project- a story, book, a game. ...introduced Microworld was introduced through workshops and lectures to help engage student thinking - over five weeks. Workshops at low skills level. Nicholas was presenting three years of work in this area...Year 1: students became v.engaged so decided to pursue research, varied from year to year. Reflective component - in final year there was a reflective diaries and interviewed users.
One very funny multimedia presentation was The Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly - animated sequence presented of a woman swallowing a fly followed by swallowing a cat, followed by cow and horse.
- Frustration with MicroWorlds
- struggling with perfectionism
- could not express big ideas
One teacher said she spent a long time to make a relatively short selection of material....she felt that it would help her relate to students in the classrooms.
Another demo to music of Hnadel (I think) - Angry Ants Ate Apples
One student reflecting on task said "This is conguent withboth scaffolding and constructivist theory "
Studnet illustrated and reflected on task drawing from theories of scaffolding with Bruner and Vygotsky--
Makes them explore the programme. Task helped training teachers to understand the importance of constuctivism in task design.

Bob Dowma, Tenor
Arranges most of the quartet's music, and he served 12 years as a Certified Arrangement Judge for the Barbershop Harmony Society. Bob has retired from the debits and credits world as a Controller for the past 35 years with 3 different Twin Cities companies. To keep his fingers and mind nimble, Bob performs treasurer duties for most all of the organizations in which he participates. We've been threatening to call for a major audit... sometime! He sings with the Great Northern Union Chorus and with other local barbershop quartets. He also plays banjo in a local dixieland group, comprised mainly of Twin Cities area barbershoppers. Bob is married to Naomi and has a daughter, a son and a grandson. His son, Dan, was instrumental in setting up the quartet's website. Bob is in charge of wearing uniforms the other three tell him to wear. His 5' 18" stature often has people confusing him as the "big bass" of the quartet. Not so!
(email: email@example.com)
Rod Johnson, Lead
Sings the lead part and also fills in on bass or baritone when the other voices are being featured. Rod is the contact man for the quartet, and can be reached by phone at 612-978-8237 or by email at the address listed below. He is retired, but works part-time at the Target Stores in Northfield, Minnesota and Gulf Coast Town Center in Florida. Rod is a 50-year member of the Barbershop Harmony Society, the Land O'Lakes District, and also spends much of his time in the Sunshine District. While in Florida, he also sings with the Breckenridge Singers and the Lamb of God church choir. He enjoys travel and golf, and is married with two daughters, two grandsons and a granddaughter. Rod and his wife, Arlene, have homes in both Minnesota and Florida. This means he is assigned to getting more H.E. winter singing engagements in the sunshine state, although the commute can be a bit of a challenge!
(email: email@example.com)
Jim Foy, Bass
Handles the quartet's travel logistics. Jim's other hobby is tinkering with cars. He sold his 1950 Oldsmobile, so we can only guess what four-wheel gem may be gracing his driveway next. Jim is a retiree from an agricultural equipment manufacturer, but manages to work enough part-time to pay for his robust golfing habit. As an enthusiastic golfer, he pledges to not give up until he gets it right. We used to say that this could take awhile, but he has shown that practice does cause improvement! He is a member of the Minneapolis Commodores barbershop chapter, and also sings in the Salem Covenant church choir. Jim is married to Kay, with four grown children. A small bunch of kids know him as "Grampa", and now he even a proud great, grandfather. Jim has recorded extensively with the Good News! gospel quartet, and was instrumental in the Happiness Emporium taking over that music ministry in year 2000.
(email: email@example.com)
Rick Anderson, Baritone
Joined the Emporium in 1987, after singing in two District Champion quartets. Rick works as an Information Technology Analyst for HealthPartners, a health maintenance organization (HMO), and sings with the Great Northern Union chorus and another quartet, Genetic Advantage, with his brothers. He is the proud father of a son and a daughter who are both in college. Rick likes to play golf, and he is the quartet's "designated driver" on the golf course. The other three are his "designated finders" of occasional shots too good to stay in the confines of the short grass. As a bari, he loves caulking and filling chords, but the H.E. also features him on solos and hero notes. He has now held down the quartet's bari part the longest (24 years) of the H.E.'s three baritones. Rick also provides two of the quartet's most important needs... holding down the average age of the quartet members and continuing to pay for the Social Security of the other three. What a guy!

Professional social network LinkedIn announced an update to its People You May Know feature, which is highly utlized by power networkers and the social-influencer elite. Not only has LinkedIn modified the appearance of the suggested users, it has also improved the accuracy and relevance of those recommendations by adjusting its algorithm and the way it identifies potential connections. LinkedIn's algorithm will now increasingly base its People You May Know suggestions on a user's existing network including past workplaces and where they've gone to school, as well as making it easier to narrow searches by filtering results down to a specific company or school by simply clicking on an institution's logo at the top of the page.
The social network is also introducing an endless-scroll feature that will present People You May Know recommendations in a seamless two-column flow as users scroll down. Even the presentation of these potential LinkedIn contacts has changed, adding emphasis on displaying the users' photos.

I'm a huge fan of live music and love the fact that bands like Iron & Wine, Swell Season, Pearl Jam, Phish, Ratdog, Bruce Hornsby and many others have their shows recorded and available for electronic downloand.
I would love to see Hope either release at least one of the shows on a live CD or download. But would love to see several dates possible recorded and release either here or on http://www.livedownloads.com.
What do others think?
I enjoy listening to the Mazzy Star show from The Metro in Chicago and would really love to see some other shows become available. Maybe even allow recording from the SBD and available at http://www.archive.org
Hope others will chime in and give your thoughts!

I've taken Greyhound in & out of Dayton many times over the past decade, but never used the hub station on the town's outskirts. Always used the main terminal downtown, at 5th & Jefferson.
From there, it's a 2 or 3 block walk to Main St., where on WEEKDAYS you can take either the X1A (7 a.m. only) or the hourly #11 out to WPAFB for just a buck or two. The X1A passes within a block of the PAX terminal; #11 only goes to the W-P visitors' center....long way from the PAX.

John, thanks for writing that up and providing comprehensive information. Melinda, nice to get the price. Once again, the number of people traveling makes a big difference in the calculus. For two people $80 + $35 for the dog vs $135 for a rental car would have me saying "Hello, Avis" on the phone. If I were by myself, $40 + $35, maybe different.

John, your report highlights the need for spats to be flexible, patient, and to a large degree fun-loving. Your positive attitude made this trip memorable. I've never flown into Grissom which would be pretty convenient for me.

Aloha, John. We were that family!
Avis charged $135 for the one-way rental from Grissom to Fairborn, where we returned the car right outside the W-P gate. Reservation was made through Avis online prior to the trip. The manager at Avis (name was Herb) was very helpful, sending a driver to pick us up at the Grissom main gate. He expressed interest in doing more business with SPATs (and regretted having no more cars available for pax that day), but his is a small operation and arrangements for car rental are best made ahead of time.

We landed at Grissom from Hickam at about 9am. There were a group of about 11 of space-a'ers. One family prearranged an Avis pickup at Grissom's Main gate. A one way to Wright-Patterson...cost was over $100, however,when we called they said a 3 day mininum payment for going out of state. Evidently it can be done that way. Another man arranged an Enterprise pickup at the main gate for a one way in state rental(Enterprise has in state rentals only.) only. He took some people to the Indianapolis Airport to make connections. Since he had no more room, we stayed at the main gate(notice every thing starts at the main gate which is a good walk from the terminal). With no more rental cars available, we took a $25 cab to a Kokomo gas station (Greyhound pickup daily at 4:30pm). From there to Indianapolis bus station to Dayton bus station(drop off point for Greyhound is a hub station on Dayton's outskirts)was about a five hour trip...cost $80 for two. From the Dayton hub to the Wright-Patterson billeting office was a $35 cab ride. Yes, it can be done, and yes it was worth the effort :-)

Last Call (this spring) for Green Acres Chicken
Green Acres Farm still has some of their excellent Freedom Ranger chicken (the brown birds in the photo above) available for purchase at the Palafox Farmers Market in Pensacola this weekend. It takes about an hour and twenty minutes to drive over there from our house (interstate nearly the whole way), and with a little [...]
Green Acres Farm
Anyone who's looked knows that in this area local sources of small farm-raised pastured poultry are few and far between. If you live in Mobile you have to drive to get it, and an hour up I-65 is the ideal place, Green Acres Farm in McDavid, FL, just over the state line from Atmore, AL. [...]

Economic Recovery |
Jun25-09, 01:22 PM | #2 |
A lot of this mess could be largely avoided if the government hadn't stepped in years ago to continue this crazy scherade of propping up the US economy against the rest of the world and continuing to rely on the cheap easy credit that has moved the US economy along for the past 10-15 years.
China, the Middle East, and the rest of Eurasia have been largely willing to finance are debt (in ever increasing percentages relative to domestic markets) while the government continues to think that the solution to this idiotic policy that was started by the government and the FED, is... guess what? MORE OF IT.... we continue to flood the currency markets and everything else with cheap money.... just this week we had a record $106 billion treasury auction.... guess when the last record was? Two weeks ago. We will need to roll over about $1 trillion this year and add $2 trillion more debt to continue financing these crazy bailout schemes that set us up for more dire pain down the road. All the things that the government does in the name of "helping" the economy have large unintended consequences down the road... cheap money led to the stock market bubble, and after it burst Greenspan lowered rates like a madman and inflated the housing bubble, followed by a quick rate increase that hammered the economy, followed by this supposed "crisis" and a quick jump to 0% interest rates..... which will surely incite either A) large inflation if the FED doesn't raise rates as the economy strengthens or B) jarring the economy back down as rates skyrocket as a result of this buildup of artificially low interest rates. The US economy is 70-75% driven by internal consumption mostly financed from the rest of the world (most the BRIC nations) and we cannot hope for a true recovery without a VAST restructuring of our economy that can only be accomplished if government realises that they are the problem, they caused this mess, and the sooner they get out of the way the sooner the market can allocate productive work where it needs to go and turn the economy around for the better (not just a short term bubble-rally). |

Recovery's Missing Ingredient: New Jobs
Experts Warn of A Long Dry Spell http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn...062101859.html Some optimists predict a 'V-shaped' recession, which is apparently fairly typical of recessions over the past several decades. Others are predicting a 'W-shaped' recession, and the middl peak may be lower than the outer ends. Still some pessimists predict and 'L-shaped' recession, i.e., little recovery for a long time. And another pessimist thinks the recession shape with be that of an upside-down square root sign (√). |

Economic Recovery
Per se, jobs do not directly contribute to economic recovery. It could be said that nonproductive jobs, jobs that neither sustained nor enhanced the economic infrastructure, but depleted it, contributed to the economic collapse; working for a blue sky company only produces blue sky--and at a price.
Jobs produce economic recovery through productivity. |

Low interest rates didn't contribute to the 1994-2000 market bubble. 401K savings plans, internet investing, and start-up companies did. The Federal Reserve Corp was once said to manipulate interest rates to what they have decided is an optimal amount to hold the rate of inflation to 4.0 to 4.5 percent a year, under the assumption of constant economic conditions. But things happen. The prime lending rate, defined as 3.5% above bank-to-bank overnight loans by the WSJ, was managed to ~5.0% between '94 and 2000. The market down-turn put the old-money interdependent business institutions at economic risk and in need of the liquidity of low interest rate loans. This, as one of the interdependent businesses, the Fed was eager to supply from 2001 unti 2005 when they thought they had avoided a '28 style depression. Doh! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Fe...effective).svg So the wasted labor, lost to poor investments in the evolving technologies of the personal computer, the internet and communications, was defered to other hands. And yes, through the availability of cheap loans, the low lending rates contributed to the housing market bubble, obliged by an eager public who had no idea they were betting into a false economy. Another bubble, less spoken of, was of consumerism, where paper profits were spent before realized. Pretty mushy reasoning in my ramblings above, right? I wish someone here could pin things down better. |

Talk can motivate people to add value to a rock and turn it into steel. Has Mr. Obama talked about any of these things? Will Mr Obama get around to these things; will Mr Obama motivate the legislation to promote these, or is he a very handsome, charming and confident critter in a suit offering no more than another Tennessee Valley Authority? I'm not so easily taken by the charismatic. If he looses the self-grandure, starts to stutter, comes back ranting about RICO laws for corporate and governmant thieves, and it actually has demosterable effect, then maybe I could believe he's more than hot air. |

I think you put your finger on it, whether you know it or not. Poorly gauged confidence in the stock market lead its collaspe. Poorly gauged confidence in housing has left many upside down, owing more principle than they have equity. Confidence in the state of the economy 2000-2007 led to irrational consumer choices, which seems to be what you recommend. |

Jun26-09, 06:08 PM | #16 |
Of course I have seen half of the alphabet [and now an inverted mathematical symbol] used to predict the nature of the recovery. And, of course, the worst case scenarios are precisely what the Obama admin was concerned about and trying to prevent with bold and decisive actions, and based on lessons from history. The inverted square root, or an L-shaped recovery were precisely the situations the Obama team was trying to prevent based on lessons from Japan. |

I am a big believer in focusing apologetics on the person of Jesus and not getting distracted by nonessentials. The challenge is to have good resources in getting the truth of Jesus across to people. There are plenty of great resources for apologists, presenting scholarly information that can be used in confronting skeptics. But what about for the seeker or the new believer? Much of the literature is too simple to be useful or too complex to be understood.
I am teaching a course on the New Testament for Emmanuel Bible College and it was suggested that I use N.T. Wright's The Original Jesus. Although I am a big fan of N.T. Wright, I was not sure about this book. It was too glossy and full of pictures, it looked more like a magazine than a book. But having read the book, I loved it. It is very colourful and is beautifully illustrated with religious artwork and pictures from Israel. The presentation is solidly evangelical and based in current historical Jesus scholarship.
Once I finished the book, I concluded that this is the best resource I have come across for presenting the person of Jesus to seekers and new Christians. If you are a trained apologist or Bible scholar, you will learn nothing new. But it is extremely valuable for helping others. It could be effectively used in discipleship classes and small group studies. I would suggest picking up a number of copies (it is quite affordable) and hand them out to people who are interested in Jesus but are still asking questions. You can purchase this book here.

A judge sentenced a Conway man to three years in jail for trying to set his ex-girlfriend's house on fire and pouring gasoline on her.
Leon Murray pleaded guilty to an arson charge.
Murray went to the woman's house on Hucks Lane in May, poured gasoline on the porch and set it on fire.
The woman was taken to the hospital where she was treated and released.
Murray also faces an attempted murder charge, but we haven't heard back from the solicitor's office on that charge. When we receive the update, we will post it here.

Baseball Card and Sports Cards collecting tips: A key thing to remember when building your baseball card and other sports cards collections is that the condition of the baseball card, football card, or other sports cards is very important to it's value and the selling price. Baseball cards in lower condition bring far less than those same baseball cards in top shape. Make sure to protect your sports cards with the proper card supplies every time. If you ever think of selling baseball cards, football cards, or other sports cards your top condition cards will always get better prices than sports cards that are not in top condition regardless if they are old or new when you put them up for sale.
There is no right or wrong baseball cards to collect. Many people like Topps baseball cards or Upper Deck baseball cards but there have been many manufacturers over the years and even the ones that are no longer in business anymore like Fleer or Pinnacle are collected by many. Some buy only new sports cards while other buy only old baseball cards. Price, value or what a price guide says a sports card is worth should not be the only or even the main factor in what you buy. The way to have the most fun with the hobby is to collect what you like and how you like and not what someone else says they think you should.
Many hobbiests like to buy baseball cards by the pack or box and get a thrill out of hitting their favorite player or that hard to find card insert, autograph or relic card. Others like to collect baseball card team sets or cards of their home town players and yet others buy factory sets or build sets by hand. Collecting baseball cards, football cards, basketball cards, or any other types of sports trading cards can be a life long hobby that's fun for the whole family. So above all enjoy your hobby.

With a camera in my hands, I am continually seeking and searching and wandering. The interplay between vibrant colors and that special quality of light is what invariably captures my attention. Instantly absorbed, I am caught up considering the features of my subject. I spend a great deal of time with composition, searching from behind the lens for the precise arrangement of my subject. The entire process of making pictures and creating imagery is very powerful to me. Regardless of the subject, I strive to ponder each moment, retain each experience and consider each opportunity. This work allows me to preserve these moments in my mind, in order to share this valuable experience with others. Whether Iâm shooting a close up of a hibiscus or treasured companions, my aim is to preserve these flashes of time so that we all can capture the memories.
