This is the second of two articles by the author about international defense system sales. The first article, "International Arms Sales, An Industry Perspective" was published in the September-October 2014 issue of Defense AT&L. This article identifies several key components of an international defense system pursuit and focuses on the U.S. defense industry's (and to some degree the U.S. Government's) in-country campaign to convince international customers that the U.S. solution best meets a given country's overall requirements. It is based on the author's experience in actual international campaigns, and the methodology and actions discussed are intended to provide a notional approach to what often is a complex process.
Simply presenting a United States system or offering the best solution in the world are not always sufficient reasons for a foreign government to issue a defense contract. An international defense system pursuit can be multifaceted and the outcome can be influenced by both explicit and implied factors.
Figure 1 illustrates a series of characteristics that, when addressed during the pursuit of a customer's contract, constitute a viable path to success. Each component along the path can be grouped into one of three pursuit imperatives—politics, price and performance (the "three Ps"). Successfully implementing the three Ps can maximize the probability of winning the contract.
These components are not all inclusive and sometimes may appear to overlap. The components typically are independent of each other and accomplishing one does not necessarily ensure success of another. Furthermore, the components do not necessarily occur in the order depicted, yet the successful execution of each increases the overall probability of success.
Figure 1. Components of a Successful Pursuit
The first action in any pursuit should be reading recent and relevant after-action reports. Studying such reports from prior pursuits in the targeted country can provide valuable insight and suggest possible options and requirements for a capture strategy. These insights, coupled with a comprehensive approach to the three Ps, provide a roadmap for success.
Politics can be a critical aspect of a pursuit and in some cases can be the most important of the three Ps. I have experienced competitions in which a higher-priced and or lesser-performing system was selected, based largely on politics. The political objective is to inform and persuade the customer directly and indirectly through the United State and host country's governments and militaries, international and local industries, consultants and representatives, media and anyone else who can help convey and advocate strategic competitive messaging. Such messaging can be conveyed through many sources, but it must be consistent and explain how the proffered solution best meets the end user's requirements and the host government's political needs.
Government-to-government relationships, U.S. Government advocacy, industry presence, political insight, an effective information campaign, strategically timed visits by senior government and industry executives, technology transfer and job creation all contribute to achieving the political objective.
Strong political and military ties between the procuring country and the United States can increase the chances of success. Countries with shared geopolitical objectives are more likely to leverage each other to gain favor, thereby providing the proposed defense systems solution opportunity for preferential consideration. Additionally, militaries frequently seek complementary systems and capabilities with their allies and coalition partners, often leading to a preference for U.S. weapons. If government-to-government relations are strained, the solution may fall victim to political discord.
Countries with shared geopolitical objectives are more likely to leverage each other to gain favor, thereby providing the proposed defense systems solution opportunity for preferential consideration.
It is critical that the industry capture manager leverage the company's in-country presence and that of any relevant business partners and/or international and domestic suppliers. The capture manager, who is responsible for the success of the company's in-country pursuit, often focuses narrowly on the program's pursuit and overlooks his or her own company's presence and influence in the country, especially in larger organizations with multiple and diverse business units. Every in-country relationship and resource should be engaged, energized and exploited.
It may be necessary to hire a political consultant in the host country to aid in the development of the political component of the capture strategy. Additionally, the consultant often can help navigate the political landscape and better enable strategic messaging to key elected and appointed officials.
Timely placed ads, articles and editorials in targeted publications are essential in the information campaign, along with securing advocates in the host nation's political and military hierarchy. Influential, respected people in the government and military who champion the U.S. solution can sometimes tip the balance.
It also is important throughout the pursuit to schedule visits by senior U.S. Government and industry leaders. These visits must be linked to strategic program and decision milestones in order to gain maximum effect. Visits by senior leadership send a message that the United States and its industry are serious competitors, and this reinforces the country's importance to them. A comprehensive contact plan facilitates synchronizing visits and managing leadership priorities.
Industrial participation often is an integral part of a successful capture strategy and must be considered early in the process, even if not necessarily required by the customer. Teaming with a strong in-country industry partner puts a local face on the defense system and may be able to accomplish many of the political actions vital to the capture strategy. Teaming and job creation can build a strong political base throughout the country. A study of compatible industries located in key political districts will provide a blueprint for industrial participation and, by extension, political engagement. The objective is jobs and local economic benefits, from which political support normally flows.
In addition to job creation, technology transfer also can be a critical competitive source-selection criterion as countries often view it as a building block for industrial growth and economic security. Technology transfer is not always easy and requires U.S. Government approval and support. Additionally, it can have strategic competitive implications, for it may mean creating a possible future competitor using the technology transferred. Implementing technology transfer should be addressed early in the capture strategy process.
If the company's solution is the only U.S. system in the competition, it can also be helpful to seek advocacy from the Department of Commerce. This requires a formal request which, when approved, will ensure the full backing of the U.S. Government. It is especially important when soliciting support from the local U.S. ambassador and the U.S. Embassy team. The request also should be initiated early in the capture process.
Each international defense system pursuit is unique, and each country's industrial base and acquisition process can vary from simple to sophisticated, from opaque to transparent, all of which can influence the breadth and depth of necessary political engagement.
Price and affordability are key considerations in balancing requirements and budgets. Arriving at a competitive, winning price can be complex and involves strategic business and competitive factors.
One of the most challenging aspects of pricing is determining the price-to-win. It is complicated and requires assumptions regarding what competitors may propose and the customer is willing to accept. Price-to-win provides the basis for the pricing strategy and involves sound intelligence, realistic assumptions, accurate estimating and, at times, even a bit of luck.
Gaining visibility into the customer's program acquisition budget is a good price-to-win starting point, but also can be difficult as funding levels are not always available through open-source means. Unlike the United States, which openly publishes its procurement budget, many countries consider such information to be sensitive and restrict access accordingly. Sometimes the customer requests rough order of magnitude pricing for the defense item, from which a program budget might be estimated.
After industry proposals are submitted, which may be as complicated as three separate bids (one technical, one for price and an industrial participation or offset bid), there often is a subsequent customer request for a best and final offer. Attempts to convince company management to lower the price frequently are challenged and therefore require a compelling business-case argument. Pricing strategies may involve reducing company margins, U.S. Government fees, in-country local representative commissions, proposing early system deliveries, increasing host country work share, enhancing system warranties, and similar value propositions. The best and final offer is an opportunity for innovation with both the price and the offer, as it is the final chance to secure a favorable decision.
Offering the customer a financing package occasionally may provide competitive advantage.
This approach is uncommon, customer dependent and likelier in countries with smaller defense procurement budgets. Loans and creative payment schedules normally are limited to Direct Commercial Sales (DCS) or to the DCS portion of a hybrid Foreign Military Sales/Direct Commercial Sales case. If envisioned, a financing package should be considered early when the pricing strategy is developed.
Finally, because a defense systems pursuit is protracted, often lasting several years, pricing is updated routinely. Determining a winning price is a fluid process predicated on sound strategy. Pricing is more complex than addressed in this article. But despite the limitations of this discussion, it is important for a successful outcome. In the end, a procurement decision often comes down to customer affordability.
Although counterintuitive, system performance may sometimes be less important than politics or price, assuming the customer minimum essential requirements are met.
Performance encompasses both program execution and system operation. Shortcomings, real or perceived, in program management or system performance can have far-reaching implications. Program management and system operation must therefore be seen to perform consistently and at expected levels.
Identifying and funding a capture manager, meeting technical and operational requirements, demonstrating system performance, meeting delivery dates, managing expectations and outperforming the competition during customer trials all contribute to the performance imperative.
Industry often does not assign a single point of contact for a pursuit; there is no "one person" accountable, other than the program director, to win the contract. It is essential that industry early in the pursuit identifies and resources a capture manager. Resourcing may involve contracting a local representative or consultant to lead the in-country effort if local procurement laws permit. Ensuring that the pursuit is funded adequately with new business investment is crucial and requires constant vigilance by the capture manager to retain and maintain funding throughout the pursuit.
Yet funding is irrelevant if the system offered does not meet the customer's stated requirements. Conversely, a significant competitive advantage is possible if the user's requirements mirror the proposed solution. I recall reading a country's "futures" white paper discussing the concept of a man-portable anti-armor missile system. The paper proposed specifications identical to the American Javelin anti-armor system. The paper was published a full year before the competition was announced and, needless to say, years later the Javelin system was selected. On the other hand, I have experienced competitive requests for proposal that reflect the competitors' specifications verbatim.
Laying the foundation for a successful pursuit begins well before a competition is announced and a specific pursuit is identified. Marketing the system early, quickly responding to a potential buyer's requests for information and aiding the prospective customer in developing system requirements before an official program is announced normally ensure development of a friendly specifications document. It is a major advantage if the customer wants your system, yet this is seldom publicized and that preference can be trumped by price or politics.
A system demonstration can increase the probability of success significantly, yet it also can consume limited new business investment funds, especially if conducted in the host country. Often it is mandated by the customer—but if it is not, a demonstration should still be considered. Like any high-payoff event, there is risk in such demonstrations. A technical problem or system failure can haunt the remainder of the pursuit.
Performance also is the credible capability to deliver the system on schedule and within budget. In collaboration with the U.S. Government and the lead Service, an early delivery from the U.S. inventory sometimes may influence the procurement decision positively. This is not easily obtained and is authorized by exception.
Finally, formal customer system trials, which are usually scored, must be executed as flawlessly as possible. These are graded exercises and must be accomplished without a hitch. Here a company's technical and engineering support must be resourced with priority.
In the end, program management and system performance are critical determinants of success.
Countries with shared geopolitical objectives are more likely to leverage each other to gain favor, thereby providing the proposed defense systems solution opportunity for preferential consideration.
International defense system sales are governed strictly by a number of U.S. laws and regulations, most notably the Arms Export Control Act, the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and the International Traffic in Arms Regulations. It is essential that every action and conduct in a pursuit complies fully with all such legal and regulatory requirements. There can be no exceptions.
The in-country campaign always will be defined by some combination of politics, price and performance. Regardless of how these "three Ps" imperatives are approached, or how the components are accomplished, two fundamentals will always prevail: listening to the customer and both building and maintaining professional relationships. Both must be done well.
Additionally, a successful sale requires U.S. Government and industry collaboration. If the two entities work as a well-coordinated team, the probability of success is significantly enhanced.
An international defense system sale can be a complex and lengthy process. The capture manager and his or her team must be persistent, patient and diligent, as the journey in pursuit of a contract often is littered with frustration and disappointment.
Finally, the value of international defense system sales can range from hundreds of thousands of dollars to billions of dollars. Some are sole-source procurements while others are competitive, and the purchase may be a Foreign Military Sale, a Direct Commercial Sale or a combination of the two. Yet regardless of contract value or procurement method, successfully addressing all components of a pursuit strategy provides the best path to a winning decision.

Thu, 09 Feb 2017 13:40:21 -0800
Free-agent PK Blair Walsh (Vikings) signed an undisclosed deal with the Seattle Seahawks Thursday, Feb. 9, according to a source.
Fantasy Tip: Steven Hauschka looks to be heading towards free agency, so Walsh is seemingly the 'Hawks' backup plan if/when Hauschka is not re-signed. Kickers are a dime a dozen in fantasy football, so it's OK to stay away from Walsh even if he does start, although he's not the worst low-end PK1 consideration.

Minnesota Vikings PK Blair Walsh will be cut Tuesday, Nov. 15.
Fantasy Tip: You can cut ties to him, if you haven't already done so, as well in fantasy leagues. There isn't word on who will replace him, but the offense around him makes it difficult to be anything more than a matchup play.

Sun, 13 Nov 2016 13:51:09 -0800
Minnesota Vikings K Blair Walsh missed another extra point Sunday, Nov. 13, against the Washington Redskins.
Fantasy Tip: Walsh's job is still considered safe, but you have to wonder when the Vikings will pull the trigger on another kicker. Granted, extra points are harder to make under the new rules, but Walsh has trouble more than any other kicker (or so it seems).

Minnesota Vikings PK Blair Walsh remains the Vikings' starting kicker despite multiple workouts with other kickers Minnesota had.
Fantasy Tip: The Vikings may be giving Walsh another chance, but that doesn't mean you have to. He's been one of the most inconsistent kickers in the league this year. There are probably more reliable options on the waiver wire, at least for now.

Minnesota Vikings head coach Mike Zimmer indicated that the club will not bring anyone in this week as possible competition for struggling PK Blair Walsh, who is 8-for-11 on FGAs and 6-for-8 on PATs this season.
Fantasy Tip: Walsh is currently tied for 13th among kickers with 30 points, and his 11 FGAs are tied for third, but his struggles are legitimate cause for concern. For right now he's a streaming option at best.

|Vikings | Minnesota confident in Blair Walsh
Tue, 29 Mar 2016 21:23:25 -0700
The Minnesota Vikings are confident in PK Blair Walsh despite a devastating missed chip-shot 27-yard field goal in the playoffs against the Seattle Seahawks. "I pretty much move on, but I'm going to try to make sure that he has success as much as possible," head coach Mike Zimmer said. "You're always as good as your last kick, right? So we want to make sure that a lot of his kicks are good kicks now."
Fantasy Tip: Walsh isn't a recommended No. 1 fantasy option heading into the 2016 season, but he will be playing for a strong offense and if he overcomes last season's miss he could re-emerge as a decent option at some point in the upcoming season.

Guest book
We initially booked to this condo in Dec 2012. At the time I was bit concerned because it was so much cheaper than a hotel for what looked like a lot more. Anyhow we took the plunge and were more than pleasantly surprised. The condo is HUGE to someone from the UK with all conveniences including air-conditioning washing machine cooker TV and DVD player (only plays US region DVDs). The place was very clean and very comfortable and fixtures and fittings all of a good standard. The resort is kept immaculately with very tidy and well-manicured grounds and lovely heated (it was December) pools. The owners (Marlena handled all the emails) were very quick to answer emails and respond to any questions and really did ensure that everything went smoothly. You really do need a car to stay there but if you have one everything is incredibly convenient with Disney, Universal Studios and Seaworld only a few miles away and easy access to the interstates to go further afield (NASA and seeing the Manatees at Tampa Electric and Power are particularly recommended). A tip for travellers from overseas when you first get to Orlando airport and hire a car. You need coins for some of the tolls (we had to reverse down a (fortunately empty) freeway to turn around because we didn't have 75 cents! We liked it so much we went back in 2013 and that really says it all. We didn't bother looking at anywhere else. If my mother in law has her say we would go back again this year but we can't go to the same place three years in a row. (Or can we?)
Just a short note to tell you how much we enjoyed Bahaman bay and the
condo. It was great for us, especially with the two little boys. They
especially loved the playground and the kiddie pool and the beach by the
lake. Lots of time out there.
My 4 year old kept asking me "whose house is this?" -meaning the condo
-so I tried to explain how we were renting it, etc. He wasn't quite
sure of the concept so I eventually just said 'It's Jason's house". So
for the entire time we had to talk about your house, your beds, your
stove, chairs -etc. It was pretty funny.
We will be sure to keep you in mind if/when we make it back to Orlando
-and have already started recommending you to our friends here in Kansas
Jamie Green
Hi Jason,
We enjoyed the stay at Bahama Bay resort for 3 days. The rooms were very clean the beds were comfortable and the decorations were awesome. It was like a home away from home and after tiring days at Disney, it was relaxing to sit on the porch and enjoy the breeze.
We would certainly recommend Bahama Bay resort to our friends and hope to stay there again soon.
Lakshmi and Karthick
Just wanted to thank you for our stay at your condo.
It was lovely! I wish we could have enjoyed it more. We basically slept and
I will definitely recommend it.
Lisset Todd
Hi Jason,
Just got back from two weeks in your Grand Bahama condo and I wanted to drop you a note to say how much we enjoyed staying there.
It's a very nice resort and the actual apartment is beautifully
appointed and maintained. My wife and I prefer the gulf coast area normally but my sister in law who was with us definitely wants to return and will be in touch with you in the future. I will certainly recommend you to my family and friends and in the meantime please put me on your mailing list for rates etc. Also if you know and can recommend any rental property on the gulf coast I'd be interested in
hearing about it.
Best regards,
Gerry Morgan
Hi Jason,
We are back from our Orlando trip and our stay at the Bahama Bay. We just loved it. It was like be at home away from home. We were so pleased with your Andros condo, building 14 unit 1101. Thank you so much.
Denise LaPorte
Hello Jason,
Just a note to let you know we had a great time in Florida and your condo was beautiful. I have one suggestion to make it even better - "downpour" showerheads in the showers.
Best regards,
Mark Doran & Famil
Dear Jason,
Just wanted you to know that we loved your condo outside of Orlando. It was
immaculate and suited our needs perfectly. We have recommended it
to several friends and relatives. Thanks for helping to make our vacation
a memorable one.
Sincerely, Christine Clickard
I wanted to tell you that we really enjoyed our stay and the condo was much
nicer than we expected. Everything was well beyond our expectations.
We live in Tampa so if you ever have any last minute specials let us know as
it is only an hour away.
Thanks so much for a great vacation.
Kristin and Jay Martin
Jason, we loved staying at the Bahama Bay Resort! Thank You for being so kind, courteous, and patient with all our questions. We stayed at the Bahama Bay mid-march and were pleasantly surprised when we were upgraded at no extra expense. We enjoyed the staff and the facility immensely. And it was close to Disney World! Thanks again for all your help!
Kristie Beddes
Thanks so much! The resort was terrific. We were really pleased with the accommodations and the level of service.
The complex and individual units were immaculately clean and well equipped. The kids had a great time at the pool, we had dinner at Tradewinds and enjoyed the dock on Lake Davenport. Too bad I did not have a chance to utilize the spa!
I will most certainly consider the resort again in the future.
Mr Moores,
We had a terrific time in Florida at the Bahama Bay resort. It was a great great place for our two week stay, a little hard to find but worth the effort.
When we return we will be booking through you.
Many thanks again
Gary Dalby
We returned home on Saturday so I thought I would send you some feedback.
In one word - Brilliant !
The accomodation was first class and could not be faulted. As you said the condo was practically brand new , I believe there may have been only 1 or 2 people in there before us. My wife was very impressed and our stay has certainly swayed us to consider condos everytime we go away with the kids instead of being cooped up in a hotel room. The kids loved the pools.
Any negatives ?
Well we did actually get lost for a period of time en route to the Resort from the Airport so I would have to say that possibly the instructions are maybe not so clear. However this did not really concern us. My family were certainly sad to depart and the resort knocked the spots off the accomodation we had in Sarasotta for our second week
So would we return - you bet !
Watch out we could be in touch soon booking up for another visit !!
Thanks for the service and please keep us up to date with any offers or news regarding the Resort. We will certainly be recommending the Resort to any friends or workmates.
Hi Jason,
We arrived back from Bahama Bay yesterday morning. Just a short note to say thanks, the apartment was fantastic and had everything we needed – and more. The welcome food pack containing essential bread, milk etc. was a lovely thought. We all had a brilliant time and agreed that when we go back to Florida in the future we would like to return to Bahama Bay.
So thanks again.
Kind regards
Sharon Mitchell and family
Grand Bahama

Google Quietly Shuts Down Home Mini Feature That Quietly Records Everything
Google launched the $49 Home Mini last week, but it had one small flaw, recording every sound in your home 24/7 and sending it to Google servers. An Android Police writer noticed his new Home Mini he had received at the Made by Google October 4th launch event was waking up thousands of times a day, recording, and sending the recordings to Google's servers. Google's temporary fix is simple - deactivating the touch feature. It is believed that around 4,000 Home Minis have been affected.
This is something that has been feared since these Home Assistants started becoming a thing. While I don't normally wear my tinfoil hat out in public, I find it amusing that these devices have gained such popularity after the hatred and fear of the Kinect spying on you, to the point of products being made to cover its cameras while not in use. Suffice to say neither Alexa or Home are going to be showing up in my home anytime soon.
So there you have it. Don't be surprised that the long-press to activate Assistant functionality, described in many reviews, isn't working. My Google Home Mini was inadvertently spying on me 24/7 due to a hardware flaw. Google nerfed all Home Minis by disabling the long-press in response, and is now looking into a long-term solution.

2007 marks the 40th year of the International Consumer Electronics Show - the largest trade show for consumer technology. The CES presents the latest innovations and most cutting-edge technology in consumer electronics and computer. In years past I reported during the show, but this year there was difficulty with internet connections..
We were exhibiting in the Sands Convention Center and previewed some new libraries and our new sampler. People were very interested in knowing about the latest in music technology and there was quite a bit of fascination in what we were demonstrating.
Microsoft again seemed to have the most visible presence at the show. In addition to occupying the lion's chare of Central hall they also had several large structures set up in the parking lots. The imminent launch of Windows Vista was heralded with a number of companies announcing Vista versions of their products. Bill Gates gave the keynote address and announced Microsoft' wirelessly Windows Home Server. The home server reputedly makes it easy for anyone to set up a home server that can be used for sharing files, having an endless supply of videos and music streaming to and from every computer in the house, etc. Microsoft seems to be developing a strategy for the totally "connected" digital home integrated with daily living. Digital lifestyle has arrived.
The theme of this year's show seemed to be HDTV and displays - including LCD TVs, cameras and accessories. Flat Panels where everywhere you looked. Big, beautiful dazzling displays. I thought my 37" LCD at home was fine but now it seems so diminutive. Sharp (the company John Fairhurst as representing at CES) was showing a 108" model.- supposedly the largest consumer LCD TV. AKAI (remember the AKAI samplers?) was at the CES showing LCD TVs (not a sampler in sight). LG was showing a 3D TV that you do not need glasses - the was very cool and could be the future of display technology. It seems like the trend towards larger displays and lower costs is going to continue. Also related to displays, but a little different was Microvision's PicoP, a laser beam projector could fit in a cellphone or PDA and be able to project a 50-foot image.
Drive makers announced larger capacity drives and support for Vista's ReadyDrive system. Terabyte drives have arrived! And USB drives were everywhere as well.
What really caught my interest was the Robotics Tech Zone. Robots were being show that were more abundant and sophisticated than last year's. Rather than being cutsie toys they are being used for households chores. One company, NeuroSky, was showing robots controlled with brainwaves - a device that you wear on your head measures brainwaves and controls the motion of the robots. From what I saw at the show, robotics seems poised to grow dramatically in the years ahead. Music is one area to watch with robotics.
At the Intel party I was speaking to some of the Intel people who said they were demoing an eight-core processor known as "V8". VoIP was big at the show. Dual mode phones for both cell reception and Wireless IP (like Skype) were shown at the show. Music services were also present although it wasn't altogether clear what they were offering.
Conspicuously absent was Apple and Google. But Apple's presence was nonetheless felt as there was a buzz about the new iPhone. iPod devices and accessories in abundant supply at the show.
A number of people from the forum came by the booth - John Fairhurst, Pat Valentino, Yves, Tom Bruner - to name a few. PapaChalk and Desound, our forum admins also visited.
For us, the show was a success. We made many connections - particular with distribution and had meetings with press people from leading magazines.
We also had time to do some fun things. Sunday night, Yves (a long standing member of this forum and Celine Dion's keyboard player) invited Jeff and I to the Celine Dion show. This was the best Vegas show I have experienced and the icing on the cake was the backstage tour. I'll write about the experience in a separate post after NAMM.
On the following night Jeff and I saw the Cirque de Soleil Beatle's tribute called "Love" followed by an Intel Party at the Palms. Afterwards I went to the Intel party at the "Studio at the Palms" - Las Vegas' largest and best equipped recording studio. Many music industry people were there: Carl Jacabson and Gina from Cakewalk; Tom Kenny (Editor of Mix), Greg Sutton, and Joanne Zola - also from Mix Magazine, Rory Kaplan (well-known producer) and Tommy Tallarico from GANG. At the party we listened to some music in the 5.1 surround room and had a good time.
On Wednesday night; a group of us including Jeff, PapaChalk, Desound, Pat, Yves and Barbara dined at the rotating restaurant atop the Stratosphere. The food, the conversation and the company was fantastic.
This was our third year exhibiting at CES and our most successful. Las Vegas is certainly a different city. I missed being able to be connected and visiting the forum. I'll post some pictures as soon as I can.

A run-down housing estate is to be demolished and rebuilt in a £3.6m operation to give it a bright new future.
The money will pay for 65 homes at Montrose Gardens, on Morpeth's High Church Estate, to be demolished and 56 new flats and houses built where they stood.
Half of the homes to be torn down are already empty and boarded up and tenants still living in Montrose Gardens will be found alternative homes by the end of this year.
Demolition and rebuilding work will take place in the new year.
The Castle Morpeth Council estate is being transformed by the Johnnie Johnson Housing Association, whose bid for it has just received grant approval from the Housing Corporation.
The housing association is working with Castle Morpeth Council and in consultation with the High Church Action Group on the scheme and intends to hold a series of public meetings over the coming months to set out its plans in more detail.
The new Johnnie Johnson homes will be a mix of two bedroomed flats and three and four bedroomed family homes. Seventeen will be for sale and 39 for rent.
Coun John Morris, the council's housing spokesman, said: "It will transform what has become a run-down estate into an attractive mix of affordable flats and homes for rent and sale."

2015 Autumn-Grand Teton Photography Workshop
September 24-26, 2015 | 2 day in-field workshop | $900 | Jackson, WY
This is my favorite time of the year! The photographic possibilities are endless. The animals are very active during this time. The bears are stocking up on the last berries that still cling to the Serviceberry and Hawthorne bushes. The elk are in rut, and the bulls are gathering their harems for breeding--which means lots of bugling and sparring bulls. The Great Gray Owl is also very active at this time. The skies are a crisp blue, the underbrush crimson and the Aspen and Cottonwood trees are bright yellow. If you've never been to Grand Teton/Yellowstone at this time of year, you should come out this fall. It will be an incredible experience! Immediately following this workshop, we will head north to Yellowstone for 2 more days of photography. The information is below this workshop description.

As the first painful anniversary of Haiti's earthquake approaches, recovery efforts are mired in a dysfunctional government, a cholera outbreak not of that nation's making and a flawed election that has left Haitians understandably angry and frustrated.
The international community -- from the United Nations to the Organization of American States, and, of course, the United States -- is attempting to resolve the political impasse in the recent elections.
Health officials from around the world are helping Haitians fight the cholera killer likely brought from abroad.
But only the Obama administration can help Haitians help themselves by allowing the 55,000 Haitians who have approved U.S. visas from before the quake to join their families here.
Incredibly, the Department of Homeland Security hasn't bothered to do right by those 55,000 Haitians.
Instead, Homeland Security is poised to send back undocumented Haitians to a country that's stressed beyond most people's imaginations and seems to be shutting the door on 55,000 legal -- we repeat legal -- immigrants whose families have promised to support them until they can find work.
Meantime, U.S. officials are opening another door to the Cuban spouses and minor children of legal Cuban immigrants here after a months-long delay that had put in jeopardy U.S. assistance to 3,200 Cuban migrants.

This book is amazing. It intrigued me, I couldn't put it down. It was just that good. The plot, the characters, even the time. It was all great!
A well told story that merges real characters with an historical event that makes both exhilarating. Characters are extremely well developed and the line of events is perfect.

Julia LeBeau (1903-1994) was the daughter of George and Nettie LeBeau, owners of a Bloomington music shop. In 1906 she decided she wanted a xylophone, but her father didn't want to spend the money — he didn't think she'd stick with it. Instead, he built this tin-can xylophone for her, using fruit, fish, and vegetable cans purchased from a downtown Bloomington grocery.The xylophone includes two tomato cans from the Bloomington Canning Company.
Julia quickly became an accomplished player, giving her first public performance in the St Louis area when she was just 6 years old.She went on to become an accomplished xylophone, saxophone, and violin player, teaching music professionally at her father's music store until it closed in 1952.She also continued to perform on her tin can xylophone, giving concerts across the United States up into her 80s. Programs were always finished with a patriotic tune.Her most famous performance was on the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson in 1988.During rehearsal, the band couldn't get the tempo right.Julia told Doc Severinsen to step aside and after one instruction from Julia they got it right.Doc was very surprised and impressed that she was such an accomplished musician.

|[RT] Content profiling
|Mon, 20 Mar 2006 22:26:22 GMT
It seems this comes up from time to time and I'm wondering if we need a document or a better way to handle it. http://www.nabble.com/Hiding-sections-t1312607.html http://www.nabble.com/New-Plugin%3A-Filtering-output-t23233.html#a65955 http://www.nabble.com/Different-views-for-the-same-source-file-t267253.html#a751299 I think there have been more but I couldn't turn them up. I know I've read good discussion from Nicola Ken on the subject, for example, but couldn't find it. Anyway, it seems like a reasonable feature for a documentation system to have -- the ability to profile the content for particular readers -- so we either need a doc, a new feature, or ??? Maybe we could make it a more integral function of the dispatcher work? (e.g, have profile/role based contracts/views -- pelt.user.fv & pelt.dev.fv) --tim

Robocall ringing your cellphone? Here's what not to doPosted: Updated:
By Ian Schwartz
PHOENIX -- They used to bug you at home, but now telemarketers and scammers are calling your cell phone and sometimes several times a week!
There are more than a few ways to describe automated calls offering sales pitches which are often scams.
Many people have been getting more and more of these robocalls, in fact, it's one of the most common complaints to the Federal Trade Commission with more than 20 million a year.
"If it says it's from Louisiana or New York City, and I don't know anybody in those places, I just don't answer the phone," Bob Hurley said, who received more than a few robocalls in the past few months.
That's a good approach, but Arizona State cyber security researcher Raymond Tu said the Do Not Call Registry likely won't help.
"It only works when these scammers, robo-callers respect the law," Tu said.
[RELATED: AG Brnovich kicks off Arizona Consumer Protection Week]
A lot of recorded robocalls are from overseas operations likely looking to scam you, offering free trips or claiming to be the IRS.
Tu said the calls are cheap, easy to make over the internet and very hard to trace.
Tu added that scammers can make it seem like their call is a local number, a number you trust.
"Usually I just push zero, talk to an operator and ask them to remove my number from their list. Which they always tell me they do," Christine Hurley said when describing ways to beat robocalls.
But according to the Federal Trade Commission, pushing a number to get yourself off a list, likely means scammers put you right back into the system to get more robocalls.
There are some monthly pay apps that say they will block robocalls.
"Basically user feedbacks to aggregate a list of offending caller IDs, they will automatically block theses caller IDs," Tu said.
But Tu warns it is possible for scammers to easily come up with new phone number combinations that can sneak past these apps.
He says smarter caller ID is the answer and he and other researchers are working on that solution at ASU's Center for Cybersecurity and Digital Forensics.
Until they find it, your best and cheapest option is to ignore the call and if you do pick up, make sure to never give our any of your information.

If you know me, you would know I prefer comfort over style. But why not merge the two.
Flatforms are amazing especially as there are all types for different events occasions etc.
I hate wearing high heels because I always seem to be the tallest of the bunch, so I find flatforms give me a nice height that doesn't make me stick out like a girraffe. But I must say, I do love wearing heels occasionally for short periods of time. Another plus is that if I were to run for a bus, I could, so thats handy.
Here are the flatforms I have and love the most right now. They are all different and have their own characteristics.
These flats are from H&M and are my favourite day-to-day shoes. I am currently on holiday in the South of England and just find these flats extremely comfy to wear for long walks, which is fantastic. Initially I bought the higher wedges but replaced them with these beauties as I had been on a look out for 'thee' wedges. Found them!
These flatforms are just the cutest. Not exactly flat as they do have a higher instep than the others on this blog but fell in love with the wicker woven detail on the wedge heel. Also the contrasting colours of the brown and the white is very flattering.
These creepers I absolutely love. At first seeing these on blogs and in shoe shops I asked my self 'Do I really like these?' My answer was '???' I really did not know, but the more and more I saw them, I wanted them so badly. Seriously. I wouldn't stop talking about them and my mum got a little fed up with my obsession because I felt I could style them to my personal preference. I bought these in Schuh and are slightly different to the underground ones as they are Bronx and have a jagged sole as opposed to the completely flat soles. I like this difference. And black suede matches everything!
These black wedges are also from River Island and are similar to the white ones above. However these are more plain and I believe a newer edition. If you have not guessed already, I am a shoes addict. I saw these shoes and just thought I needed them in my life as they will come handy someday. Personally I think they are not really comfy to walk in as they have a hard sole. Maybe it just needs breaking in around the house first. Also I heard a common problem of these strap shoes is that they detatched themselves from the atual shoe so I weary of that. But apart from that, I like.
Later I will show how I personally would style these shoes with different outfits- should be fun.
What do you think about flatforms?

What We Believe
Christ Church PCA is a member of the Presbyterian Church in America (PCA) and began as a church plant of Altadena Valley Presbyterian Church, Briarwood Presbyterian Church, and Cahaba Park Church.
The PCA began in 1973 and is one of the fastest growing Christian churches in the United States. The PCA is a denomination that is both conservative and progressive. Theologically, we are conservative, and are committed to the full authority of the Bible, believe in the historic doctrines of the Christian faith, and affirm that salvation is offered to all people by grace through faith in Christ.
At the same time, we are a progressive church, eager to present the Gospel to all people: there is good news of life with God in Christ. We are committed to make disciples and to apply the unchanging truths of the Bible to an ever-changing world.
Specifically, We Believe...
...the Bible is the written word of God, inspired by the Holy Spirit and without error in the original manuscripts. The Bible is the revelation of God's truth and is infallible and authoritative in all matters of faith and practice.
...in the Holy Trinity. There is one God, who exists eternally in three persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
...that all are sinners are totally unable to save themselves from God's displeasure, except by His mercy.
...that salvation is by God alone as He sovereignly chooses those He will save. We believe His choice is based on His grace, not on any human individual merit, or foreseen faith.
...that Jesus Christ is the eternal Son of God, who through His perfect life and sacrificial death atoned for the sins of all who will trust in Him, alone, for salvation.
...that God is gracious and faithful to His people not simply as individuals but as families in successive generations according to His Covenant promises.
...that the Holy Spirit indwells God's people and gives them the strength and wisdom to trust Christ and follow Him.
...that Jesus will return, bodily and visibly, to judge all mankind and to receive His people to Himself.
...that all aspects of our lives are to be lived to the glory of God under the Lordship of Jesus Christ.

I have just seen on Dell's support site a how to for replacing a battery of Dell XPS 15z. The battery of this computer is embedded and the replacement requires opening the box. But the procedure is really straightforward. I have also searched a non-Dell place where one could buy a cheap replacement battery but unfortunately did not find any. The only I know is Dell and price tag is about $185 – which is pretty expensive.
By the way, there is one procedure which I follow to extend the battery life of my computer. When it is plugged, I disable battery charging from the power options – (down right next to the clock or Fn+F3). Based on my prior experience this approach extends the battery life to years unless the battery has some fabrication defect.

Recently, we came across an excellent resource for any San Diego homeowner who is in the beginning stages of deciding whether or not to replace the windows in their home. It is an e-book titled, Investing in Your Home: Replacement Windows and Doors.
The e-book, which was put out by BM Windows in San Diego, makes multiple compelling arguments for why homeowners would be wise to replace their old, drafty, single pane windows with new, energy-efficient double or triple pane windows. Some of the things the author touches on in the e-book include:
Energy Efficiency
Making their home more energy efficient is the number one reason homeowners cite for replacing their windows. If your home has windows with aluminum frames or single panes of glass, you might be surprised at the difference new vinyl replacement windows could make in the comfort level of your home, as well as in your monthly energy bills.
Increased Curb Appeal
Whether you are thinking about selling your home in the near future, or just want it to look more attractive for your own enjoyment, replacement windows can make a big difference in the curb appeal of your home. New windows can give a home a fresh, updated look and are especially effective in increasing a home's curb appeal, especially when the style of the windows complements the style of home.
Increased Home Value
Since energy-efficient upgrades (like vinyl replacement windows) are something that today's home buyers are looking for, it's no wonder that new windows are at the top of the list of exterior home remodeling projects that increase the value of your home. According to the e-book, you can expect to recoup up to 70-80% of the project cost when you go to sell your home. Your home may also sell faster, according to San Diego real estate experts.
Other Reasons to Consider Replacement Windows for Your San Diego Home
Apart from the reasons listed above, the e-book also addresses some other important reasons to consider new windows for your home. For example, new windows can give you the ability to open and close your windows with ease, helping you to enjoy the beautiful San Diego climate. They can also increase the security of your home, and brighten up your home, while at the same time protecting your home's furnishings from the sun's damaging UV rays.
If you have been considering replacing the windows in your San Diego home, but also have other home improvement projects on your list, take a look at the e-book. It just may help make your decision a little easier.

Tahoe Show: Bodybuilders, Bikini, Figures and More
I can't tell you how excited I was when I heard about the bodybuilding show being held in Lake Tahoe. I was even more excited when I got the offer to photograph the show alongside Marcello Rostagni, capturing the backstage shots and documenting the accomplishments of these athletes.
I saw a lot of faces I recognize from the gym (I work out at 24hour Fitness baby!) that got me all excited to photograph such an amazing achievement in their lives; something that requires descipline, dedication, and hard work.
I had an opportunity to meet, share, and have great time with these guys and gals while photographing their long journey. During the show, Ben Pakulski was giving instructions to competitors around posing, diet and such. A very humble person and he didn't hesitate to give input to folks as needed. For more information visit www.tahoeshow.com stay tuned for the event pictures.

March 26, 2009 (CHICAGO) --The CTA is considering a plan that could close a $155 million budget hole without raising fares or cutting service. Some of that money would be switched from capital to maintenance -- which is allowed under federal law.
The other half of the budget hole would be covered by internal savings -- the Regional Transportation Authority and a temporary reduction in pension plan contributions.
The plan will be presented to the CTA board next month.

This is a digital file
Item details
This listing includes 3 apothecary labels. The digital file will be zipped, and it contains both a PDF & JPEGs.
The series is Peekaboo Potions which includes:
• Wriggling Maggots
• Blood Sucking Leaches
• Angry Wasps
The label files are 300 dpi and the size of each label is approx. 3.15" wide x 5.73" tall.
Once payment is confirmed, digital files will automatically be sent to the e-mail you are registered with at Etsy in one ZIP file. Download and extract the ZIP file included in your order to receive everything listed above.
The watermarks shown on the listing photos will be removed on the files that you receive, as well as the background graphics for a print friendly image.
The Etsy license allows you to:
• Print labels to incorporate into your personal projects such as decorative potion bottles, props, decorations and as scrap book clip art.
• Print up to 100 of each label design for commercial use, as long as the product being sold is part of a crafted project such as labels on an apothecary bottle and not a stand alone product. This even allows you to sell these transformed items on Etsy.
The Etsy license does NOT allow you to:
• Sell, distribute or give away digital images of the files individually or as a whole, or any printed versions of these files that are in their original form.
• Mass produce products which use these images, aside from the exception listed above.
• Post the digital files or make them available for digital download.
• Claim copyright on the purchased graphics
• Transfer any part of this license to another person or organization.
This product was made using photos and illustrations found in the public domain and determined to have no known copyrights. Every effort was made to do adequate research to guarantee that all public domain claims were legitimate. However, When purchasing this product please use it at your own risk; particularly when using it for commercial purposes.
If you are the owner of an original image that has been infringed on by this product, or are aware of any copyrights that might have been infringed upon by any image used to create this product, please let me know. I will immediately look into the validity of your claim and remove the listing if your claim is found to be legitimate.
I recommend printing on 100lb text- gloss or matte paper. If you use an uncoated stock like bond or offset, the color images will look dull. If you have spent a lot of time getting the an apothecary bottle to look just right, don't you want your label to "pop?" Coated sheets also tend to handle a greater variety of glues without the worry of seep through or discoloring.
If you need to reduce the size of the images, just calculate the amount of the reduction and input it in your print dialog box. You can enlarge the images slightly, but they are 300dpi. The larger you print (beyond 100%), the less quality your labels will have. For enlargements you will not be able to fit the whole file on an 8.5" x 11" sheet. If you want to print each label at a different size to fit on specific bottles, you can put them on a page layout program, crop them and size them individually.
The labels already have a distressed look designed into them, but you can also add more aging effects by cutting the edges unevenly or making them ragged with sandpaper. If a label has a dark edge, you can run a black permanent felt marker edge along the side of the label to hide the white sheet edge.

Hey, what's cheese that's NOT YOUR CHEESE?………NACHO CHEESE! I'm sure you've never heard that joke before…
While we are on the subject of nachos, how about those Astros! Nachos seem to be a big ball game food and with Halloween tomorrow this is the perfect meal to watch the game and hand out some candy. These nachos are a game changer, they are delicisuous and as always nutritious. You will be sure to hit a home run with these bad boys on any night of the week!
What you need:
Baby bell peppers (the whole bag)
Meat (lean ground meat/shredded chicken/or turkey/shredded pork)
1 can/ cup of low sodium black beans or if you make them from scratch and freeze, even better!
Cotija cheese
Monterey Jack cheese
Shredded lettuce
Diced tomatoes
Diced red and green onion
Guacamole or avocado sliced
Assuming you've already cooked the meat you choose. In our nachos we had carnitas and I'll share that recipe later. Cut your baby bell peppers in half and place on a cookie sheet that has a little tiny sprinkle of olive oil, place them inside up.
Then sprinkle your meat, beans and a very small conservative amount of cheese. Bake at 350 until the peppers are some what roasted and cheese has melted.
Then grab your portion and place on your plate and top with all the other goodies.
I know I'm kind of a nutrition nazi BUT I promise even the biggest junk food eater will love this, how can you not. The sweetness of the bell peppers and the saltiness of the meat. YUMO!
Pork Carnitas recipe:
In your pork department you will see they have pre portioned pork carnitas meat NOT the ones that are already flavored, naked meat you want naked meat! Never buy premarinted meat, DIY!!!!
In your crock pot add 1/2 cup of low sodium veggie or chicken broth, add you meat, 1/2 diced white or sweet onion, 5 tomatillos, 2 oranges squeezed and placed in crock pot, pepper, cumin and salt. Place on low for 6-8 hours.

Canadian Prairie Storms Pages
Sunday, March 17, 2013
Record snowfall for the year continues to add up today!
A walk in the park, more like a winter wonderland, around the north end of Wascana Lake to Albert Street where the highest snowbanks are found as the snow blows in off the lake. Then off to the Royal Saskatchewan Museum and La Bodega, home of the Ice Bar for a St Patrick's Day drink. This snow storm should officially register snowfall totals in the city of Regina at all time record levels.

RONDO creeps again for Forrest J Ackerman and Joe Moe!!!
If there's one most prestigious, genre-specific award in the world, it's gotta be the RONDOS! Every year, fans and pros alike vote for their favorite artists, products, publications and events. The awards are a treasured validation to all those folks working hard to keep Horror and Sci-Fi ALIVE!
This year marks the 8th annual RONDO HATTON AWARDS! And this year marks the nomination of: THE FORREST J ACKERMAN TRIBUTE as THE BEST FAN EVENT! If you were at the Tribute, I know you felt the profound impact of the experience. If not, you can read my account of the event at DREADCENTRAL.COM by clicking here: Forry Tribute
At the end of that article you'll have a chance to hear Forry's final farewell once more. Sad but sweet.
The competition is tough, but I believe the Forry Tribute is well worthy of this year's honor. The Tribute purely captured the spirit that lives within our genre and the incredible hand Forry played in perpetuating it and maintaining it over his 92 years. Thanks to The Egyptian Theater, Tim Sullivan, Dan Madigan and many others, this event not only honored the memory of our late hero, FJA. It also demonstrated how Forry's love of all things fantastical could live beyond him. Inspiring future generations of Monster GrandKids!
Please vote for:
17. Best Fan Event of 2008
- Tribute to Forrest J Ackerman, Grauman's Egyptian Theater, Hollywood, organized by Joe Moe
Vote at Classic Horror Film Boards by clicking here: Rondo Awards Ballot
Help me bring this one home to Horrorwood, Karloffornia for Uncle Forry!
Joe Moe is an authentic renaissance artist: a third generation Polynesian entertainer, studio vocalist (look for his solo CD: MAINLAND), screenwriter, FX artist and designer of dark-rides for international theme parks. Random trivia: Joe sculpted a monster mask for Don Post Studios ("Schizoid"), once operated the front half of beloved Muppet, Snuffleupagus, and swam with a 7-foot Tiger Shark (not intentionally)! Joe lived for many years in "Horrorwood, Karloffornia" where he cared for the late 92-year-old genre legend Forrest J Ackerman in the Ackerminimansion of Sci-Fi, Fantasy & Horror movie memorabilia. Joe Moe's day job is as Creative Director for 3MAC STUDIOS where he's gleefully occupied in development, writing, design and direction of intriguing movies like RED VELVET, WASTED SPACE and other existing and "coming soon!" Indie-gems.

Police said the victim was a passenger in one of the vehicles.
A second person was taken to hospital with minor injuries.
