Social Welfare Program Controls

Short Story by: USGlen
It has been known by some individuals that the Economy shouldn't be controlled. The Economy in some parts/aspects should be controlled.
To remedy certain of these situations there should be economic sanctions /controls of these individuals. Some individuals don't realize that when they are on disability that they only can have/get so much money and services. They think that the Government has to give them what they want even though it might be against the law. These individuals try to make the Government give them this money by suing the Government. The Government cannot be sued but the Government can sue these individuals and put them away for a long time.
These individuals do not know the difference I feel between right and wrong. To solve this, put these people in a place whereby they get just what they need and nothing more. If they complain put them in their place by having the lawful authority influence them.
Let these individuals realize that to be in society they must learn that there is a right way and wrong way of doing things. Some people can't realize any thing. They like to think that every thing in the outside world is the way that they think it is. Then when someone says something that they don't like they tell the person tot talk about something that is more pleasant for them.
In twenty five years of living in establishments that cater to the individuals on Disability and Social Welfare money, the way these people think is what I call against the social norm.
These individuals like to have luxuries when they can't. They like to have heat that is real warm for twenty-four hours a day during the winter. This in itself is a waste. Another thing that they like and think that they need is Cable TV when just the regular old TV Stations would do just the same. This costs them money which they don't think about before they sign the contract. They sign the contract before thinking if they can afford the service. They also think that the landlord in the places that serve food should provide them with the food that they want and don't think about eh other individuals. These people get groups to try and make the owners give them the food they want. Sometimes these individuals don't know it a lot of them don't like to pay their full amount of rent each month. They also don't realize that the food costs money that comes out of their rent money. The landlords let their petitions and gripes go in one ear and out the other ear.
These men and women also think that they have to have a daily newspaper delivered to their door. All they look at are the Sports and the TV Sections. They never look at the News Pages or the Help Wanted pages. Some of them can't afford to pay for their subscriptions. They like to have subscriptions to magazines such as Ladies Home Journal and Good Housekeeping. The men like Body Building and Playboy or Sex magazines. They don't need these because they are not in a home of their own. Their families bring them in cases of fresh water, 2-12 pack cases or more of Soda and Potato Chips with all kinds of other goodies for them to eat. My family doesn't buy any of this stuff. So why do they need it anyway?
There is fresh water out in these places 24 hours a day. The Activities Department in these places has books and magazines of all types. Most places you can buy soda, cookies, potato chips and other things at an economical price through vending machines and facility run stores. They also have activities such as Ice Cream Socials, Movies, field Trips to Museums and the beach plus Music, Dancing and church services for most faiths. In most places, there is a full time Activity Leader to facilitate these programs.
Every one of these places has snacks, water and coffee all day and into the night. Some places put out fresh fruit several times a day.
These people have all of these amenities and social programs, but what they don't do is keep up their familial relationships. They rarely take a bus to their families' home or visit their family for a weekend. They also like to have steady boy friends and girl friends so that they can have a social life that they would have if they were out in the Community by themselves. Some think that they have to have a car when there is Bus Service in the area. These social friends of these people come into the facilities and visit plus smoke with their friends for hours. They also get told by their other friends how happy they are that they have a boy friend or girl friend. They all think that they are going to get married. The idea of getting married should be the farthest thing from their minds. Some of them are in wheelchairs or walkers and can't even get to the bed without being assisted. Most of them cannot I think reach orgasm or copulate. This Writer has had 13 marriage proposals brought before him when we didn't date each other. We only spoke to each other once or twice to say, "Hello." Several of them have tried to take legal action against me as to why I didn't want to marry them.
The legal problems of these individuals are numerous. They like to sue people out of court and their landlords also. Some of them like to think and say that they own their room when it is only rented from month to month. They damage plumbing and knock holes in walls. They even some of them modify and make more power come into their room. They incur bills that they don't want to pay for and that the State or their family should pay for them. They like to swipe or change their Social Security Numbers plus when they move form one residence to another like to have both checks with both addresses. They try to put claims in against other people that they know. They make threats against the Landlords, his affiliates and even threaten to assassinate the President. They call the Police Emergency Number and make non-emergency complaints against why their rooms are cold or hot plus all kinds of other things. When a Police Officer comes to the facility they think that one of their friends is going to get arrested. If one of their friends is taken they call every Police Department in the County to try and spring them. Some of them like to not the rent that they contract for but what they feel like paying. The landlord when they do this cannot meet his bills. Some think in these facilities that the landlord can loan them money with their promise to pay it back the next month. They tell that and don't like it when the landlord deducts it from their next month's spending money. All of these illegalities are absurd.
There should be a agreement in clear language given to the individual that calls out what their behavior should be. It should tell them that the Landlord/Administrator is the one responsible for them and that they are responsible to the Administrator for their facility debts and their behavior. The landlord they should know is not to be held responsible for debts other than those surrounding their rent. Their other debts such as phone, Cable TV, and Newspapers etc. are their responsibility for paying them through their own spending money. They also should be informed that seeing as the Administrator is the responsible person for them not to call the Police let his representative call them. To facilitate this Landlord should place this notice about the Police near each phone and in each room. They should also say that if they call the cops sever penalties even arrest by the Police and eviction or hospitalization plus other Civil or Criminal penalties could be pursued. These are just the facility controls.
The State should make/obtain legislation to control these individuals through the influence of their mentality. Most Social Welfare Programs emphasize socialization rather than mental growth. The State should set down Administrative Laws for the people to obtain mental growth and positive integration into the Community. I don't recommend long term programs but short term ones with a low cost. They should be taught skills such as bus riding, grooming, bathing, and hair care plus cooking. They also should be taught how to shop, wash their clothes, suitable hobbies and many more things. Their civic and legal responsibilities of an adult person living in American Society should be taught also. The individuals in these places have Graduate Degrees and beyond. They don't do anything such as reading a book or writing a research paper about their studies along the lines of their degrees. These individuals should be legally made to do their work because of the potential for their thoughts toward society.
Other individuals just want a job, so that they can be educated in how obtain job interviews in the Community. The CA State Rehab Department for this is not necessary. The daily newspapers and the State Employment Services are the best places. These places have resources that can give counseling, testing, interview preparation and assist in getting job placement.
The local Governments on the other hand should be made aware of the problems. They should also be made aware of the mental and social functioning of these people in their community. Their should also be enforcement laws/regulations to help these individuals function in the society and community to help enable to be completely re-integrated into society. These laws/methods could I think be done by no monetary appropriations but through education and communication on the parts of Cities and the State.
The Federal Government should enforce its' policies in these matters through Federal Law Enforcement, the US Attorney General and the Attorney's General of all the States. This also should be done in conjunction with the President and the Advice and Consent of the Senate. The funds /budget expenses for this enforcement could come from existing budget accounts and not through additional appropriations. By this, I meant is moving and restoring plus resizing monies within the individual accounts of each budget item for all the above mentioned agencies. There should also be adequate management communications and responsible accounting for all these matters.
All controls should be done in conjunction with each entity involved.
Writer's Summation
This paper has been written to introduce and tell the public as to what these places are like. Some Black people refer to these places as houses of ill repute. They are full of people that one time was allowed to leave the confinement of hospitals and reside in a community setting. But did these people accomplish anything or not? It is up to the Powers that will be.
Additional Problems
Social Welfare Recipients and Programs
The Social Welfare program recipient receives all kinds of services that both the State and the Federal Government pay for. These places provide jobs and training for individuals' to help them return to society or become integrated into the Community. Some of these places such as Goodwill Industries is funded by the Government both State and Federal. They teach men and women how to put TV sets together and fix them, package parts for industry, and man other things that they can do and still collect their Disability Payments. Some recipients work for twenty years and don't lose their Social Security Payments. A man I once knew named David worked at the Long beach Shop of Goodwill and was nearing his sixty-Fifth Birthday. His counselor told him to go apply for his Retirement Benefits and so he did. The Social Security office told him that he would be able to but must pay back thirty-Five dollars a month towards an overpayment. He was mad when that happened. But he wasn't told way back when he started that he would have to give up his benefits because was making a substantially gainful amount. It was probably his Goodwill Counselor's fault. David went on to retire and moved from the Care Home to a nice one bedroom apartment in the local area.
The second largest, problem are all the Socialization Centers and .Adult Day Treatment Centers. These Centers have clients come there because the counselor seems to think that they need the services that they offer. They bring them at 8 a.m. and return them to their home again at 4 p.m. During the hours that they are away they learn Social Skills, OT, PT. Group Therapy on various topics. And they get a hot lunch with snacks in the morning and afternoon; They also provide a full set of nursing personnel, along with a psychiatrist and Internist. These they say Medicare will automatically pay them 80% and Medi-Cal will pay them 20% . These are based upon their on figures not the Medicare or Medi-Cal Providers.
Along with all of these programs people have to be hired to do the paper work. These people get paid a lot of money for doing the work. Therapists also have to be hired and trained to fo what is on th therapy worksheets. A solution would be to tell the Coordinators of these facilities to send a coy of their curriculum guide for the therapy sessions to the Clinical Director as soon as possible. These program guides could then be sent to the Governmental Agency involved to see if they meet current trends. That way each program and every use of the money could be monitored for proper usage.
As one can see the Social welfare programs are very costly to both the State and Federal Governments. Only time will tell us to what will go wrong with these programs or what will be all right.
Addendum and management
The way to get around all of teh economic and monetary sanctions would be t let teh people most capable of handling themselves without a Doctor do it.. Those that can't let the Doctor see them,. Also develope large clinics at hospitals where these people can get their medical care at such a place as a UC Campus Hospiotal. The states wolud ten lower their costs and their overhead. would drop also. The Communities that have these expensive docgtors gave problems that the Doctors make them think that they can by giving their client that they are doing. Some people come to these places teh thik that they are going to stay on $9,00.Others are people that have a30 dollar a day habit of cigarrettes and soda. This poroblem should be sh owed up asvice or some con scheme that someone is trying to replace.The National Security sgiow check their behavior. This just the possible way that it could f happebned

My family consists of my husband and my 2 sons in the ages of 11 and 17. I have made sure my elder son is aware of periods and will make my younger one aware too as he grows up. I have to as they have seen me a zillion times buying sanitary pads and carrying one to the bathroom. One day, curiosity got the better of the elder son and I explained as possible.
But when I was growing up, my mother used to hide it. Those Carefree and Stayfree ads would make us squirm. Sanitary napkins were not to be shown in the presence of my father or brother. With three females in the family, someone was using them all the time. But, it was a secret between us. It was brought from the medical store in complete secrecy. One couldn't check the packet at the medical store. It would be wrapped in newspaper and then handed over. We were not allowed to touch plants and the Puja stand was out of bounds. It was worse when I used to visit a friend's house. They would not let me touch their furniture, utensils or enter the kitchen. When I used to go to Kerala, we could not enter the kitchen, puja room, drawing room or touch the well, plants, flowers, These practices are still being followed even when education has changed their outlook in other spheres.
I have a more recent story to tell. I was suffering from severe stomach cramps and very heavy periods for the past 6-7 years. I would be menstruating for months and medical intervention was proving to be useless. It was not every month but it was sporadic and there was no logic or reasoning for these severe cramps. When travelling even to my office, I used to carry large packets of 10-12 sanitary napkins. Due to taboos surrounding menstruation, I could not talk about it freely with my extended family or even my male supervisor who was flummoxed with my sudden illnesses and subsequent sick leaves. My brother came to know when we had gone for a movie. I had to visit the washroom every 20-25 minutes. Still, he asked his wife to check with me on what is the problem. They never knew my turmoil till I had to undergo surgery for the same.
In my male-dominated family, it was the men who helped me during my hospital stay and post surgery – my husband, brother, son. If there was not so much taboo, I would have taken a decision earlier and it would have saved me so much physical and mental trauma.
For the medical condition I had, I looked up the scientific term on websites. I was looking up the effects of surgery and recovery periods. There are many websites which give these details but none related to Indian women. They have suggestions on preparing for surgery, caring during the surgery and post-recovery tips. The websites advised about diets, exercises, activities which are restricted for a certain period. But, for India, there is none.
My doctor, a male, had given me the go ahead for walks and light exercise and asked me to keep moving, but the women in my family were against it. Their reasoning was, the doctor is male and he doesn't know a woman's body. Thankfully, I decided to trust my doctor and followed his instructions and I could recover fast. I still see some of my family members still suffering even months post surgery.
I feel there is a terrible lack of awareness about menstruation among the new generation. I can tell as I see these girls coming to live alone in the city, in my organisation struggling with it. Being female, they are glad they can open up to me. But, if I was a man, they would not come to me with their issues.
Really women, it is just a natural phenomenon like acne and grey hair. It will come and go. There is nothing to hide or be ashamed of.

Not Just Farms Anymore: The Effects of World War II on Mississippi's Economy
Mississippi, like most of America, responded with unbridled patriotism when the attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941 thrust the nation into World War II. Thousands of Mississippians entered the armed forces. In every community, citizens on the home front contributed to the war effort. They raised money in war bond campaigns. They collected scrape metal, rubber, and other materials to turn in for recycling.
In addition, Mississippians and other Americans were limited in the use of scarce materials such as gasoline, tires, and certain food staples through federal control of the commodities. The controls were called rationing. People received rationing coupons which allowed them to purchase an allocated amount of restricted commodities.
War changes economy
The war years brought tremendous change to Mississippi, but the most significant change was to its economy the war ended the Great Depression in the state. Agriculture, the most important sector of the prewar economy, went through significant and lasting change. Thousands of farm workers either entered the military or took other employment in 1940 and 1941. Yet in 1942, the War Manpower Commission, or WMC, rated the hills region, Mississippi Delta, and nearby Memphis, Tennessee, as areas with surplus farm labor. The WMC provided funds to help farm workers in these areas take temporary wartime jobs during the time between the planting and picking of crops.1
Plantation owners feared the WMC would create a labor shortage (or at least a shortage of low-wage workers.) They also worried about changes the wartime jobs might have on the social order. Most farm workers were African-American. Jobs off the plantation increased their independence. Plantation owners used their political influence and achieved the passage of a law that moved control of farm labor from the WMC to the United States Department of Agriculture, a governmental body they dominated at the state level. No longer would there be a federal agency to help workers obtain non-agricultural jobs. Furthermore, landowners controlled the local draft boards. Many farm laborers believed that deferment from the draft was available only to those who worked on the plantation owner's terms.2
The struggle between workers and owners continued throughout the war. Agricultural wages rose, as did owner's profits, but the wage increases were capped by Congress to combat wartime inflation. The dire labor shortage the plantation owners feared never materialized, but thousands of agricultural workers did leave for the military and higher paying industrial jobs. Rural farm population in Mississippi fell 19 percent in the 1940s while the urban population increased 38 percent.3
Immediately after the war, the use of heavy farm machinery increased dramatically. Wartime job opportunities, along with the mechanization of many agricultural tasks, brought a basic change in the character of the state's rural population.
Military suppliers
Mississippi had a small industrial base prior to the Second World War. The largest industrial employer during the World War II era was Ingalls Shipbuilding. Indeed, the war years were highly productive ones for the company. Ingalls established its Pascagoula shipyard December 6, 1938, under Governor Hugh White's Balance Agriculture with Industry program.
Its first contract was with the United States Maritime Commission for four cargo ships. But in August, 1941, during construction of the ships, the U. S. Navy requisitioned all four vessels for national defense. At the height of production, more than 12,000 men and women worked at Ingalls. In May, 1943, Ingalls completed the H.M.S. Battler, the first British combat ship built in the United States. By June 1945, Ingalls had constructed more than 70 ships.4
Mississippi's first ammunition plant was built in Flora at a cost of $15 million. An even larger ordnance plant was built in Prairie, near West Point. The $25 million project employed over 7,000 construction workers who built more than 300 buildings spread over 6,200 acres. Workers installed special telephones, water fountains, and other equipment needed to reduce the possibility of sparks and serious accidents.5
Other cities with large wartime industries included Jackson, Biloxi, Vicksburg, and Moss Point.
Small businesses suffer
On the national level, most wartime production took place in large factories. Thus, while industry as a whole increased dramatically during the war, smaller businesses sometimes suffered. It was difficult for small Mississippi industries to obtain wartime contracts. To make matters worse, small industries were often unable to continue normal production because of wartime shortages of raw materials.
Meridian native C.R. Webb experienced the problems of the wartime economy. He had a job as a traveling salesman, servicing small and medium-size lumber mills. Wartime use of lumber and other materials that were needed for the war effort severely limited Webb's sales, which were only a third of what they had been before the war. Wartime rationing of gasoline and tires affected his ability to travel. Webb was forced to give up his business for the duration of the war.6
The Merchants Company of Jackson, another small business, had to deal with wartime shortages. The wholesale company could no longer obtain tin to package coffee. They tried several containers, but the only one that could keep the coffee as fresh as tin was glass. Glass, however, weighed more than tin and the additional weight increased shipping costs. Glass could also break. In addition, grocery wholesalers and similar businesses had to factor in the increased costs that rationing caused.7
Some small businesses, of course, benefited from the upswing in the wartime economy. Harold Davis, owner of Radiolite Manufacturing in Jackson, won a contract to build wooden liners for ammunition boxes. He added a second shift and increased his work force from 10 to 30 employees. Ingalls Shipbuilding selected Green Brothers Lumber Company in Laurel to provide 1,300 prefabricated houses for Ingalls workers. Later, Green Brothers shipped more than 1,000 homes out-of-state.8
And in Hattiesburg, Komp Equipment used their existing factory to manufacture ammunition.9
Military camps
One of the largest boosts to the Mississippi economy in the war years was the establishment of military camps. Thirty-six installations dotted the map, with one million men and women from all over the United States coming into the state. The largest of these were Camp Shelby in Hattiesburg and Keesler Air Field at Biloxi. There were many others.
Camp Van Dorn, near Centreville, and Camp McCain, just outside Grenada, were major training camps. Air fields were located in Clarksdale, Columbus, Greenville, Greenwood, Grenada, Gulfport, Hattiesburg, Jackson, Laurel, Madison, Meridian, and Starkville.10 There were even four prisoner-of-war base camps in Mississippi.11
Camp Shelby, a World War I base deactivated in 1919, was designated a training camp when America began its defense buildup in 1940. In 1941, an $11 million construction project began at the base with a work force of over 12,000.12
When completed, Camp Shelby trained an estimated 50,000 troops at one time. There were as many as 30,000 additional military and non-military personnel who worked on the base as well.
Keesler Field in Biloxi was another huge base. Constructed in 1941, the air base cost $10 million and had 12,000 workers on the construction payroll.13
When Keesler hit its peak military population of 69,000, it was the largest air base in the world. Almost half a million mechanics and servicemen trained at Keesler.14
New factories and military training camps presented challenges for many Mississippi communities. A rapid influx of people meant that municipalities had to deal with increased demands on city infrastructures: roadways, water and sewer systems, police and fire departments, and schools.15
Nearly all cities that experienced a building boom encountered an accompanying housing shortage. The situation in Pascagoula, a conglomeration of trailer parks, rusty boarding houses, old homes with charm but limited sanitary facilities, was much like other fast-growing parts of the state.16
Areas in Mississippi with military installations also experienced an unfortunate effect of a new, large, and transitory population: an increase in vice. Hattiesburg leaders, for example, noticed dramatic increases in gambling, liquor, and prostitution violations after Camp Shelby was reopened.17
Social changes
Significant societal changes accompanied the economic changes. For the first time, women played a significant role in the state's industrial work force. At the Prairie ordnance plant, women were especially sought after to handle delicate materials.18
Komp Equipment reported that well over half, perhaps as much as 90 percent of its work force was female.19
Ingalls Shipbuilding had so many women workers that the federal government built a special room for workers with pregnancy difficulties.20
Social changes threatened to divide some communities. A large industrial work force on the Mississippi Gulf Coast led to the development of unions. While popular among laborers, unions were opposed by business leaders. When workers on the Gulf Coast struck over working conditions and pay in 1943, a local newspaper quoted a citizen as saying, It is a pity that some of these labor union members ... couldn't inadvertently raise their head at the wrong time from a fox hole.21
One of the most serious social problems that occurred during the war years was racial tension. Most of the military installations experienced some problems when blacks from outside the Deep South were confronted with racist Jim Crow rules that governed blacks in Mississippi.
None of the camps experienced a more serious situation than Camp Van Dorn when black soldiers from the 364th Infantry Division were assigned there in 1943. Within hours after their arrival, citizens of nearby Centreville and members of the 364th had heated confrontations. A black private was shot and killed in an altercation with military police and the local sheriff. Troubles continued throughout the summer of 1943. Once, angry members of the 364th broke into the arms room and threatened a riot. Calm was not restored at the camp until after the regiment was transferred to the Aleutian Islands.
Army historians hold that while there were problems due to poor command decisions and Jim Crow laws, there was nothing especially noteworthy about the unit's assignment at Camp Van Dorn.22
However, there were rumors at the time, and they have nearly reached the level of urban legend, that hundreds of soldiers from the 364th were killed by Army officials after they crashed a white dance on the post. Yet even most of those who believe in an Army cover-up in the Van Dorn incident, think this is a gross exaggeration. Research into the incident continues.
End of agricultural dominance
The growth of Mississippi's economy during the war was very strong. Wages nearly tripled. Still Mississippi remained a poor state. It ranked last in the nation in per capita income before World War II and it ranked last at war's end. An inevitable decline in the economy occurred when defense plants and military bases closed after the war. But Mississippi's economy had permanently altered. The incredible dominance of agriculture over industry was over. In post-war years, the industrial, service, and professional sectors joined with agriculture to give Mississippi a more balanced economy.

Blast Defeat Ambush 3-1
The Baltimore Blast traveled to St. Louis to take on the Ambush Sunday afternoon. In a low scoring game the Blast were victorious 3-1.
In the first quarter the Blast took the lead when Andrew Hoxie recorded his 15th goal of the season assisted by Daniel Peruzzi. This would be the only goal recorded in the first half. The Blast controlled possession and shut down scoring chances for the Ambush. Five Blast players recorded blocks in the half while William Vanzela recorded 6 saves in net. At the half the Blast led 1-0.
In the third quarter both teams got scoring opportunities but both goalkeepers were able to shut down the opposition. No goals were recorded in the quarter and the Blast held the 1-0 lead.
Daniel Peruzzi would end the scoreless drought with a goal at the 7:39 mark with a goal assisted by William Vanzela. The Ambush would answer when Lucas Almeida converted a penalty kick to cut the lead to one. After the Ambush brought on the 6th attacker Nelson Santana was able to take advantage of an empty net with an impressive shot from his own defensive zone that landed in the goal. This goal would seal the victory for the Blast with a final score of 3-1.
The Blast were led by Daniel Peruzzi who recorded a goal and an assist. Andrew Hoxie and Nelson Santana also recorded goals. Defensively Pat Healey led the way with 3 blocks while William Vanzela recorded 13 saves in the victory.

i better explain a little to get started. in my form for creating a Person, there's a Company field. People belong to companies and companies have many people. in my person form i have: <%= text_field 'person', 'Company' %> in my controller i have def create params['person']['Company'] = Company.find_by_name(params['person'] ['Company']) @person = Person.new(params[:person]) ... end this seems ugly to me and makes me feel like this is not the best way. I'm doing this because Person.new expects Company to be a Company object not a string. params['person']['Company'] comes in from the form as "cutco" or "edgeslice" or whatever. Anyway, i'm using a text field instead of a select box, because select boxes with more that like 3 items are annoying to use. I'm going to autocomplete the company text field. how do people usually create new objects (and specify who they belong_to) from the child's (in this case Person) view/controller? travis

Staff 7: Jon Rayner
Tottenham Hotspur (Spurs) Football Club is located in North London. The club is also known as Spurs. Tottenham's home ground is White Hart Lane. The club motto is Audere est Facere (To dare is to do).
Our assistant press officer and programme editor Jon Rayner is next in the hotseat for our Staff Q&A - Staff 7.
How did you get into the business and how did you end up at Spurs?
I always wanted to be a sports journalist but I completely messed up my O levels because the 1986 World Cup was on and I watched that all the time. I got three O levels which wasn't enough to go onto A levels so I ended up doing a Btec in engineering, well off the beaten track. I didn't particularly like it and still wanted to be a sports journalist so I left, applied to go to the NTCJ course at Harlow and was on the reserve list when they contacted me and told me they had one space available. I was working as a trainee manager at a bookmaker at the time but it was now or never. I did the course, loved it and worked my way through the local newspapers as a trainee journalist, senior reporter, sports reporter and sports editor. But I wanted to work in football so I applied to all the London clubs. John Fennelly at Spurs said there was nothing available but would keep my details on file, thought nothing more, about a year later he wrote back to say a position had come up. I applied and got the job.
What qualifications did you need?
As I said, I got lucky. The three O levels I passed included Maths and English and that was crucial. I then passed the NTCJ course at Harlow and that was also vital and recognised in the industry.
What is it like dealing with the players on a regular basis?
Personally, I love it. They are very busy most of the time but they always come good for you and help you out. They are all receptive, friendly and happy to talk most of the time.
If everything falls into place, how long does it take to get a programme out from start to finish?
It's impossible to answer really because you could get three home matches in a week and you'd do that or one in two weeks, and you'd do that. If we had to, we could turn it around in about four days. In a normal week, say we're home on Saturday, away the next, home the Saturday after, we'd start work immediately on the Monday morning, work at it at a nice pace and get it done. In most cases, we'd get perhaps 70 per cent of one done and start on the next.
What would be your dream interview?
Pele. Although I never saw him play, I think he's the greatest player ever. A legend.
What is the best thing about working at the club?
Being behind the scenes at one of the biggest clubs around, seeing how it works, what goes on, the whole set-up. I feel privileged to be here.
What advice would you give to youngsters who want a career in the media or even at a football club?
You have to keep plugging away, keep at it. If it doesn't look like it's going to happen, stick at it. I'm assuming the NTCJ course is still important, but all qualifications will help.

For me, as an "early bloomer," nothing can replace the understanding and advice of a trusted adult. This could be your mom, grandmother, aunt, or a non-relation like your healthcare provider -- I even got advice and help from the moms I babysat for!
I was only ten and I remember how excited my mom was to see this change happening in me. I, on the other hand, was scared to death. What would the others think of me? There was only one other girl in my class who started before me and they teased her relentlessly.
What if the word got out? Could they look at me and tell? The last thing anyone wants is to be teased for something that is beyond her control, much less for something that is completely natural! Yet, at ten, that was hard for me to see and even harder for me to understand.
Obviously, I developed early. Not long after turning ten, I was sporting a training bra and a bit of a booty. I was also the big sister in my household, which meant that I had two very nosey younger siblings who were very curious about those things under the sink, the bras in my hamper… But while I was wallowing in my premenstrual concerns, my mom had my back. She had a way of letting my sister and brother know what was going on in a level way that caused me the least amount of embarrassment possible. I think she felt that the more they understood, the less likely they would taunt or tease me.
My first period happened on vacation. I had been getting cramps the whole drive to the beach. Luckily, my mom had packed provisions (a.k.a. pads). Once we got there I was a little confused as to why my Mom was at the other end of the beach shop looking through hoodie sweatshirts. She walked up to me with a soft baby blue one. "This color will look nice on you," she said. "Also it's just nice to have something warm and soft on when you're feeling bad, right?" She smiled and walked to the register. I knew she understood. Through her actions and advice, she taught me to accept my body, breathe deeply through the times of discomfort, and to always treat myself well.
Once the summer was over and I was back at school, I knew no one could just look at me and tell I was on my period. I was fine with keeping it to myself. Eventually they would all get there as well; all I had to do was wait for them to catch up. And when they did, how wise I seemed to them.

DETROIT (Reuters) - General Motors Co. has added a week of production at its Chevrolet Cruze factory in Lordstown, Ohio, this month to meet growing U.S. demand for the compact car, a spokeswoman for the largest U.S. automaker said on Tuesday.
The Lordstown Assembly plant was originally scheduled to be closed the week of August 26, United Auto Workers Local 1112 said on its website. Now, workers will continue to assemble the cars "as normal" that week, the union local said.
"Sales have been brisk," said GM spokesman Annalisa Bluhm. "We didn't want to lose momentum so we decided to abstain from taking the week off."
U.S. sales of the Cruze have risen 24 percent during the first seven months of 2013, better than the 9 percent sales jump for GM overall. In July, Cruze sales shot up 70 percent.
GM ended July with about a 50-day supply of the Cruze, less than the company's 68-day supply for its overall lineup, GM executives said earlier this month.
The current generation Cruze has been assembled at Lordstown since September 2010. The Cruze was first introduced in 2009, the same year GM emerged from bankruptcy protection.
The global financial crisis forced GM as well as its U.S. rivals Ford Motor Co. and Chrysler Group LLC to close several plants. Now, U.S. automakers have running their U.S. factories around the clock to satisfy rising demand.
A UAW official could not be immediately reached for comment. UAW Local 1112 is one of two locals that represent workers at the Lordstown plant, part of a complex that employs about 4,500 hourly and salaried workers.

If you want to test your Zend Framework 2(ZF2) or any PHP application with PHP7 we have a good news for you! We have prepared new isolated development environment based on our previous box.
PHP7 is the next generation of PHP that promises big performance improvement (around 1,5 to 2,1 times faster than PHP 5.6 ) and additional syntactic sugar.
At the moment PHP7 is still in heavy development and the installation and updates in your existing operating system can be challenging. Therefore we have prepared for you a script that can help you create an isolated development environment with PHP7 and the sample application from "Learn ZF2" in it for your testing pleasure. Of course you can add your own PHP applications to the box and test if they are working with PHP7.
Here are the steps that you need to create your own dev box with PHP7.
First you will need to install the latest version of Vagrant and Virtualbox. If you are using Ubuntu 14 you can check the instructions on that external page.
Then you need to clone the learnzf2-box repository using the following command:
git clone -b php7 https://github.com/slaff/learnzf2-box.git learnzf2-box-php7
And when the repository is cloned you have to start the virtual machine using
cd learnzf2-box-php7 vagrant up
After some minutes you will have brand new isolated development environment with Ubuntu 14, apache web server with PHP7 and the latest version of the "Learn ZF2" source code from github.
In order to ssh to the virtual machine you can type
vagrant ssh
And in order to access the web server from outside you can type in your browser http://localhost:8080
The source code is in a shared folder named dev and can be accessed and modified both from inside the virtual machine and from your physical machine.

Now we can take this to the next level, enabling her to truly lead in this critical role for our organization."

I cried when they took away all the things I had loved and lived for.
My voice became ravaged and ragged when my spirit was broken and the walls came down to reveal my soul was really 500 years old. It was God's way of humbling me which is the only way to Him/Her.
I wandered the wastelands in search of a reason to find a way out. It took years to think of one. But I thought of you long before I met you.
I have no agenda other than to do my work and treat other humans with kindness and respect. I will be damned for this and smirked at by those with no backbone or chins.
I look around at all the lost souls who act in an arrogant way, telling you things that are not true in order to impress, swearing on bibles that simple songs are too complex to play, manipulating situations that are really of no importance, protecting their over-inflated egos at any cost, convincing themselves that guests arrive to see them and not the hosts and, still, I feel sorrow at their ignorant pathetic-ness. Wasting their lives and their opportunities for inner peace by waging a war to defend their hollow delusions which are, and always were, meaningless.
We live in a world where the banks own you now. They can afford to be arrogant and rude to their customers because they need no longer keep up the pretence of performing a service.
I hope in my time I live to see the public rise up against them. Yes, there will be blood, long time coming.
The plague will descend from ourselves and inhabit the dull-eyed crowds that linger in the shadows of that which cannot be spoken. Friends, whom we thought were friends, will try and entice us to visit them whilst they are contagious so that they can infect us and watch us weaken and die as they feast on our souls. Spiritual vampires pretending to be human will survive by repeating things they have overheard in order to make small talk and fade into the scenery undetected. No empathy. No conscience. They will devour anything, anyone that gets in their way. For the mere existence of real people will torture them until they have succeeded in extinguishing the flame.
I feel like I'm dying as a result of the most selfish man in the world who gives you guilt trips if you don't risk your life paying homage to him by breathing in his environment – and his disease. Nothing you offer as a sacrifice is good enough because he has been denied attention for 40 years and his desert is calling.
"Thou shalt not worship false gods!" I scream as I destroy his overcrowded temple to his own ego.
His family call him their stalker as they continue to feed his insatiable hunger for attention and a limelight that no longer shines and in fact only ever did in his dreams.
Thank you for weakening my already troubled heart. Your play acting concern was less than convincing to the children present and has been noted in the Book of the Dead.
My last glimpse of this world will be of my best friends clammering to be photographed with the man who destroyed me. I see they are all smiling.

Hi, i'd first like to say i'm truly sorry for what I did to the community and I regret what I got myself into. Close to 2 years ago, I met a friend through tf2 and he gave me free items, he told me he got them through scamming, (yes im a 'youngin' so at the time i was 11 or 12 years old.) So i started to scam people on the Wicked Afterlife servers for their tf2 items. At first i honestly thought that nothing was going to happen to me and i wouldn't get into any trouble for doing it. Until i started getting reported on SteamRep. 5 different people reported me as a scammer, which i was. I look back seeing how stupid I could possibly be to ruin my whole steam account and get marked over some really stupid decision i made to steal people's items they probably paid money for. About a year later after i scammed people, i started to realize what i did was wrong, i also got tagged and couldn't go on trade servers to legitimately trade with people. I felt really bad to the people i stole items from and i thought i should give them their stuff back. Which i carried out to do. I gave every single person that had reported me their items back, + a few more things just for their trouble. I also apologized to them about what i had done. I also want to apologize to the Wicked Afterlife community and staff, as well as the whole entire tf2 trading community too. What i did was incredibly stupid of me and i've never felt more ashamed about myself in my life. Here are some screenshots of me giving people their stuff back.

Doesn't mean they aren't out to get you, but I'd have to wonder why they'd target you when David Icke has only just been targetted by them...after writing several books.
I would suggest you are doing this to yourself OR are secretly more important and dangerous than you realise. I'd gamble my money on the former not the latter.
Well aren't you a know-it-all albie?
According to "The Hidden Evil" by Mark M. Rich its not just David Icke. And who is to say David Icke doesn't have a screw loose himself? Not a good example albie.
I don't know if you have even bothered to take note of some of the allegations I have personally made on this forum which are entirely original and not been made by anyone else. I'm not just a parrot like yourself albie, far from it.
And further how do you know the pet theory you have on the phenomena of harassment groups is the correct one? Give your ego a rest albie.

Personal testimony by survivors has been extremely successful in transmitting and reinforcing Holocaust information.
Seeing and hearing an eyewitness describe his experience makes history come alive.
Unfortunately, Holocaust survivors are aging and dying.
Live eyewitness accounts are becoming less available and will not exist to future generations.
To transfer the life experiences of a Holocaust survivor to an "adopter" by taking a joint journey through the life of the survivor. By this personal journey the adopter becomes one with the survivor absorbing his life, spirit and soul.
The "adopter" will be able to represent the survivor and tell his story with accuracy and feeling to any audience for three or more generations.

Every entrepreneur needs tools.
When I started my business, I had no skills, tools, or money. But you don't have to struggle like I did because you can benefit from my mistakes.
I figured out that every successful entrepreneur is constantly learning. You learn about finances, social media, marketing, etc.
Specifically, here are some tools I can add to your ENTREPRENEUR'S TOOL BOX.
And all of this -- to make you more money - more profits!

*Editor's warning: Plenty of good Aaron Lee feistiness ahead*
I receive a lot of emails from people to test Twitter apps or services; however, I only reply a handful of them (that reminds me, I need to reply some of them after this). A lot of emails are pretty much standard emails which people usually blast-to-everyone kind of emails. They throw in their fishing rod everywhere hoping for a fish to bite. I do bite. I bite back at them.
I have received really annoying emails which I immediately felt like deleting or emailing back to them and asking them to go "fish" themselves. I have also received auto tweets which were annoying as hell.
Personalization matters
…Especially when it's sent to someone. Imagine you talking to someone just like how an advertisement is being promoted, I'm pretty sure they will punch you in the face. That goes the same for emails and auto tweets. They should be burned to the ground and buried so deep that no one can find it. You wouldn't approach someone and say "hey, please visit my website", or "hey, I have the best product". When people approach you in a mall with those lines what do you do? You pretend you didn't hear them.
Damn Auto Tweets
No one should use auto tweets. Auto tweets targeting keywords and auto sending tweets shouldn't be used. Why? Because everyone have different emotions. Here is an example.
Situation One
"Just bought a Nikon camera and someone stole it"
Auto tweet: Come buy a Nikon camera from our store *link*
What he/she would do: $%^&*( YOU!
Situation Two
"Looking for a recommendation for a Nikon camera"
Auto tweet: Come buy a Nikon camera from our store *link*
What he/she would do: What Nikon camera would you recommend?
Auto tweet: Come buy a Nikon camera from our store *link* or No reply
If you set up auto tweets this is what might happen. For the first situation, the user is not in the right mental state to even purchase a new camera and the auto tweet is not helping them and the company. For the second situation, the company might have an opportunity however the tweet didn't help them. I have seen auto tweets that get replies, but there is no follow up later.
These are all examples of course. I get tons of crazy tweets from keywords which I tweeted. I just ignore all of them.
Personal Experience.
I had tons of crazy auto tweets sent to me. One of the best experiences would be last November when I was searching for hotels to stay in Singapore. I tweeted asking recommendations for hotels to stay in Singapore. I received tons of crappy "get great hotels deals here" auto tweets. Obviously, I couldn't be bothered to look at them even though they had the best deal. However, tons of people recommended me where they stayed when they were in Singapore. Big lovely twitter community J
Then, one company tweeted me with recommendations for a few hotels in Singapore. It was over my budget so I replied that it was over my budget, few hours later they replied recommending me budget places to stay which I could book on their website.
All they did was listen to my key terms (which we will talk more in the future) and sending personal tweets. Did it made me check their website? It most certainly did. I even almost purchased the room till I found a better deal last minute. (sorry guys!)
There are a lot of sites out there that recommend people to send out auto tweets like those above. In my opinion, spend some time on social media listening tools or spend more time listening first, then simply reply to people. Don't invest in auto tools that nobody bothers.
Have you had experience with auto tweets that you replied? Or personally had an experience with personal tweets that ended up with you purchasing a product? Share with us your experience below.

Brooklyn Decker: Protect the Arctic
Posted by andre with No Comments
"Fasten your seatbelts and no smoking on the plane." I've heard these words a million times before, but this time it was different. I was strapping myself into the smallest airplane I've ever been in, a de Havilland Beaver affectionately known as "Pumpkin," and I was about to fly over some of the wildest country in America—the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. I was joining the Sierra Club for a weeklong adventure through the Arctic.
Tucked away in the northeast corner of Alaska, it is the largest and wildest refuge in the country. I had heard about the beauty and wonder of this place, but nothing can compare to experiencing it firsthand. As we flew north, crossing over the Arctic Circle, I watched spruce trees give way to rugged mountains. Further north the mountains turned to sweeping tundra, wild rivers, coastal lagoons and finally the bays of the Arctic Ocean.
These areas are home to some of our most amazing wildlife. In fact, the coastal plain of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge contains the greatest diversity of animal life of any protected lands in the entire region. Polar and grizzly bears, musk oxen, wolves and wolverines all call the refuge home. On our visit we saw Dall sheep, caribou, red fox, hawks and golden eagles.
Each year, the lush tundra of the Arctic Refuge acts as the birthing grounds for much of this wildlife. Birds I see in my own backyard in Texas begin their lives in the Arctic Refuge before migrating to my hometown and others in all 50 states.
This area is also essential for mother polar bears to build their dens and for the Porcupine caribou herd, which travels hundreds of miles each year to the coastal plain to birth their calves. For these animals, and others, there is no alternative to this place they have depended on for millennia.
Wildlife are not the only ones who depend on the Arctic Refuge. The Gwich'in people, whose cabins we could see from the airstrip in Arctic Village, have lived off this land for centuries. The Gwich'in are the caribou people and they rely on Arctic bounty for their livelihood.
During the trip, I was able to swim in a freezing Arctic river, explore a remote and unnamed slot canyon with a 50-foot waterfall, and go white-water rafting through the most rugged portions of the Brooks Range. I was even able to see the spectacular Northern Lights.
Getting outdoors has always been an important part of my life. Some of my fondest childhood memories are of camping with my family, but this trip was truly an enlightening experience. It was an opportunity to reconnect with the outdoors in a place of unparalleled wonder, and it made abundantly clear the importance of protecting our country's natural treasures.
The area's significance to wildlife, native cultures, and sheer untamed beauty are unmatched and irreplaceable. I believe the marvels of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, especially the coastal plain, should be safeguarded—and I'm not alone. Polling shows that four out of five Americans believe the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge should receive stronger protections.
The natural wonders of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge deserve the strongest levels of protection possible to ensure that this amazing place remains unmarred for future generations. I'm grateful for the chance to reconnect with the wild lands that make America great, and I want others to have those opportunities too.

'Toronto 18' member pleads not guilty to terrorism charges
[JURIST] A member of the "Toronto 18" [Toronto Star backgrounder; JURIST news archive] pleaded not guilty in a Canadian court on Monday for his alleged role in a failed 2006 terrorist plot to bomb the Toronto Stock Exchange and government buildings. Shareef Abdelhaleem, the first adult of the group to be tried, allegedly planned to profit from the attacks [Toronto Star report] by investing in and selling particular stock before the bombings. A key witness in the case, Shaher Elsoheny, left a Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) [official website] witness protection program to testify against his old classmate, Abdelhaleem. Elsoheny worked as a police informant and provided intelligence [National Post report] against Abdelhaleem and others that eventually led to the arrests. Abdelhaleem's lawyer argued that his client was entrapped by Elsoheny, who was allegedly paid millions of dollars [Globe and Mail report] by the RCMP for his assistance in the investigation.
The accused leader of the terrorist group, Zakaria Amara, pleaded guilty [JURIST report] in October to charges of planning to bomb three targets in Ontario. The same month, another member of the group, Ali Mohamed Dirie, was sentenced to seven years in prison [JURIST report] for his part in the plot, while another, Saad Gaya, pleaded guilty. In September, the first of the group to plead guilty, Saad Khalid, was sentenced to 14 years in prison [JURIST report], though the Canadian government is seeking to alter that sentence for time already served. The first of the suspects to be convicted under Canada's post-9/11 terrorism law was sentenced and released [JURIST reports] in May, with the court citing time served. The "Toronto 18," arrested [JURIST report] in 2006, are accused of planning a series of violent attacks on civilians, public officials, and government buildings.

July 4th — a day to give thanks for all the freedoms we enjoy
By BILL GRAY
Mt. Pleasant News
Thank goodness for the United States of America.
Circumstances are making it challenging to acknowledge how lucky we are.
But when you put things in a global perspective:
Of course, I'm inspired to think about the worth of our country because it's birthday comes up on Monday – you do recall it's not just about a three-day weekend and fireworks, right? Other countries have mandatory celebrations, which sort of takes some of the spontaneity out of the event, yes?
So while I and many others note with regret that some forget our holidays have meaning beyond vacation time, the fact we can observe them as we please: That's worth celebrating.
Sure, the streets in Mt. Pleasant leave a lot to be desired. But there are cities many times our size where curbs and gutters do not exist, and the streets double as open sewers.
I'm having a lot of trouble with state of Iowa logic that says Henry County should have its Iowa Workforce Development services slashed when its unemployment remains higher than most counties in the state. But I also heard a report this week that unemployment in the Middle East among those under age 25 is about 20 percent – and even a full-time Workforce Development Center can't make much of a dent in that.
In a good year it's tough to put out kudos for the state legislature. The Iowa lawmakers have outdone themselves this year by trying our patience – and most likely, their own to the max – by having the third longest-running session in state history.
Yet it's so very much better to have a Legislature than to have none at all. Ask the beleaguered folks in Yemen or Syria, for openers.
We've got some buildings in Henry County we'd like to fill with manufacturers and retailers. There are some nice homes that would fit some singles, couples and families as well. But we don't have to ponder too long to recognize that we are lucky to have the buildings we have rather than face the incredible challenges of replacing and rebuilding that are going on in Joplin, Mo., after that horrendous tornado.
But that's because we're lucky, not necessarily because we live in the United States. So let's add the obvious: Many people are lucky to have four walls and a roof of any condition, whether for conducting business or sheltering their families. We Americans have a stable nation to thank for our stable communities.
Can we thank the United States for good weather? Well-l-l-l, let me attempt to make my case: Our Founding Fathers and mothers and babies and livestock and etc. chose a pretty good set of longitudes and latitudes.
Go further north? Thanks, Canada, but no thanks for those longer winters?
South? Heat and a little jungle on the side? Save that helping for someone else.
Thank goodness for the United States and its variety of weather. And we Midwesterners have it even better, since if we don't like the weather, we only have to wait a day!
And thank goodness I live in the United States, because I might get shot in another country for weather jokes that bad! Happy Fourth to all!

Construction Of A Parabola
An illustration showing how to construct a parabola. "Given the axis of ordinate B, and vertex A. Take A as a center and describe a semicircle from B which gives the focus of the parabola at f. Draw any ordinate y at right angle to the abscissa Ax, take a as radius and the focus f as a center, then intersect the ordinate y, by a circle-arc in P which will be a point in the parabola. In the same manner the whole Parabola is constructed."

Calling all Wildcats. Whether you still live in the Lexington area, or you've moved away since you're time as a University of Kentucky student, there are some certain sentimental landmarks around campus that you're sure to remember. Here are 11 University of Kentucky photos every UK grad will definitely recognize immediately. There are a ton to choose from, but here are our favorite 11!
1. The Amphitheater
Located behind Memorial Hall, most UK grads know this spot as a great place to gather on a nice spring Kentucky afternoon.
2. Memorial Hall
This classic, iconic building is of course so beautiful in the daytime, but if you ask me, it is even more beautiful when it's lit up at night.
3. Alumni Drive
We didn't even have to try to find a photo of construction! If you've ever driven around Lexington, this is a a very familiar site.
4. W.T. Young Library
A relatively new addition to the campus (it opened in 1998), but it's a striking building that anyone has seen visiting the campus (for a Wildcats game, perhaps?)
5. Rupp Arena
Every Wildcat who bleeds blue needs no introduction to what is easily the most important building in the state of Kentucky. The boys in blue do us proud!
6. The Funkhouser Building
If you were a student at the University of Kentucky, then I would be dollars to donuts that you stepped foot in this building at least once (and probably much, much more.)
7. Margaret I. King Library
The very first library on the UK campus! It's a little lesser known now that the Young Library is open, but this wonderful building houses a lot of memories for generations of UK grads. (And some of you probably know you should have spent some more time in there!)
8. Commonwealth Stadium
This stadium seats over 67,000 UK football fans. If you haven't done a tailgate and game in a while this is a great year to come back. Autumn in Lexington is beautiful.
9. Kirwan-Blanding Towers
You can see these towers from almost anywhere on campus. They served as the north star for a lot of students over the years.
10. Barker Hall and Buell Armory
This may be one of the lesser know spots on campus, but it's still one of the most beautiful (and one of our favorite) buildings for students.
11. Memorial Coliseum
The house that Rupp built! While Rupp Arena gets a lot of glory we wouldn't be the powerhouse we are today without this beautiful building. Love it!

Lake Shore Safari
Last Saturday, we went to my friend Cindy's exotic animal farm in Lake Shore, which is west of Springville. Steph and Steve came along with their cute kids too. We saw zebras (including a little baby one), a herd of bison, gemsbok, ostriches, emus, a camel, llamas, horses or donkeys that look a lot like this, miniature donkeys, a miniature yak, an enormous wild boar, and some friendly young water buffalo.
My niece just loved the animals. Ivy wasn't old enough to enjoy them yet, but if she's anything like me as a child, she'll be obsessed later.

That looks like a lot of fun. Next time you go let us know and we can tag along, both my kids would love it :).ReplyDelete

text: 10 September 2009The departure of popular star Lauren Conrad from reality TV hit The Hills has drawn greater attention to the cosmetic surgery procedures that seem to be a requirement for women wishing to get close to the TV stars.Lauren's own cosmetic surgery history has long been a source of debate. Talking to Make Me Heal, surgeon Dr. Paul Nassif stated: "After looking at several photos of Lauren Conrad, it does seem that in some photos her nose looks smaller and a little pinched. It looks as if she has a little asymmetry in her nasal dorsum and her nasal tip appears to be a little smaller. Her nose appears to look a little bit bulbous in one photo. So I think she might possibly have had a slight rhinoplasty, a very soft rhinoplasty." The Plastic Surgery Channel reports that Lauren will be replaced by former Laguna Beach co-star Kristin Cavallari, an infamous "frienemy" of LC's since their high school days. Kristin's arrival signals yet another star of the show that experts either believe or strongly suspect to have undergone cosmetic surgery procedures. Some are more open about their cosmetic history than others, in particular Lauren's former best friend Heidi Montag-Pratt who is always eager to discuss her procedures. The Hills outcast, who recently had a "frienaissance" with Lauren, has revealed that her nose job and breast augmentation procedures have helped improve her self-esteem. Heidi told People magazine: "I�m not ashamed of what I do in my life. It�s not like let�s get plastic surgery for fun, it was something that was really painful and tormenting for me throughout my life." Other members of the cast who experts believe to have gone under the knife include brunette Audrina Partridge, who is thought to have had breast implants.

Contractors Report Little Damage from Sequestraton; NASA's timetable threatened by it Thursday, April 25, 2013 10:18 AMWith sequestration looming over their heads, big defense contractors were afraid that it would cause massive layoffs and unfortunate facility closures. However, The Washington Post reports that almost two months into the sequestration many companies have seen only a slight drop in revenue. Northrop Grumman reported that their profit and sales were essentially flat. The company reported profit of $489 million, down just over 3 percent from the same period a year ago. Sales hit $6.1 billion, down slightly from the first three months of 2012. The firm may not have been impacted much, but as The Washington Post reports, the actual effects of sequestration may not start effecting firms until the 2014 fiscal year.
Lockheed Martin also reported that there was not much of a change in their 2013 sales, but that the full effects would worsen over time. The Falls Church-based firm General Dynamics is already taking steps to protect its own funding. They cite that troubled programs and developmental programs are hardest hit by the sequestration. The firm is optimistic about being ready for when the full effects of sequestration hit. While it is good news that many big contractors are not seeing any devastating effects, it may be years still before the full hurt of sequestration is felt.
NASA is already predicting problems with their agenda of missions for 2013 and beyond because of sequestration. A mission to corral and land on an asteroid as well as a crewed mission to Mars during the 2030s are just two of the missions that NASA says could be pushed back significantly. If the sequestration remains in effect through the 2014 fiscal year, William Gerstenmaier (NASA's chief of human exploration) stated that it would be "really tough for us going forward." The agency proposed a $17.7 billion budget earlier this month for the 2014 fiscal year that would fund an asteroid mission, the Space Launch System and Orion vehicle for a Mars trip and other high-profile programs. Their 2014 budget is hedging bets on the fact that Congress will find a way around the current sequestration.

There are 23 reviews of Infusion de Fleur d'Oranger.
I bought this in Milan, Italy, and maybe my surroundings altered my olfactory sense, because while I LOVED it enough to spend more on this fragrance than I'D EVER SPENT on any perfume, by the time vacation was over, I wondered why I'd been so in love with it. When I first spray it, it's a wonderful, fresh citrus scent, but it quickly fades into something a bit nauseating, a children's orange Tylenol smell, as I've seen one review describe it. BUT, since it was my first designer perfume purchase, I'm saving it as a (very expensive) souvenir, and I spritz it on every once in a while.
Pros: Citrus and floral scents are delightful
Cons: Scent changes quickly"
