Soldier's Story
December 1982 | Volume 34, Issue 1
Most of the time we were away from the road. When we did reach it, it was a line of burned-out vehicles and bloated, blackening corpses. In that heat bodies swell and stink. After a few days you can't tell who they are. Everyone was mixed together.
Our objective was Mariveles. We reached it about a week after the first assault. The town no longer existed. Buildings had been smashed and were burning; the bricks and stones were charred. Men were wandering everywhere. I saw the first live Americans. Some of them didn't have all their uniforms and were dressed in rags. We didn't have any orders, and they didn't know where to go. Civilians and soldiers just milled around.
I had little time to enjoy the peace. Some units were still fighting, and we were sent to find and destroy them. When I returned to Mariveles, the prisoners had gone. I didn't think of them. Corregidor was not yet conquered.
The infantry stayed out of the way. Day after day artillery units fired at the island. The fire was returned. As much as possible I made certain to stay away from artillery batteries. Besides, I had another problem. I had dysentery and a fever. Most of us were sick. We were in no shape to fight anyone. If the order had come to attack the island, we sure as hell weren't able.
In early May the guns on the island were being knocked out. Most of us had recovered from the dysentery. The order came to capture the island.
From the mainland to the island is just a few miles. In open steel landing craft we pushed off about midnight and landed around four in the morning. The 61st Regiment from the Osaka-Kyoto area led the attack. They had suffered heavy casualties in Bataan and suffered more at Corregidor. Most of those slow, damned boats never reached the shore. Artillery and mortar shells were hitting them.
My unit followed. We were the reinforcements. We took heavy casualties, but we reached the island. I was able to establish my communications post away from the direct line of fire. Still, nothing was safe on that place. Our men were cut to pieces whenever they tried to advance.
There was a long flight of steps cut into the rock. Time after time men climbed them to be shot off. I imagine about a thousand men died trying to climb those stairs. Finally, by late morning, some reached the top. Then the command to cease fire came. A group of Americans carrying a white flag appeared. I believe that there were ten. They crossed to the mainland. A couple of hours later everyone surrendered. Streams of men with their hands raised marched out.
I wanted to see what we had won. As soon as I could, I went inside. There were three tunnels. Two had collapsed. They led to a large three-story building cut from the heart of the island. I had a chance to learn something about those men.
A few months earlier, when I heard about Pearl Harbor, I believed that we could win a war with the Americans. Inside Corregidor, while we were enjoying our victory, I was convinced that we would be defeated. Our equipment was so poor in comparison. It was then I began to wonder about the future of Japan and how I would die. Of course I kept my thoughts to myself. In the Japanese army you didn't talk about defeat. You didn't talk about anything.
I spent six months in Manilla. During that time we talked about the places to find prostitutes and how much to pay.
It was my last six months in the army. I spent those eating American rations. I hated those cans of meat. We had to eat them without rice. It did tell me one thing. I realized that there was someone very powerful behind those guns and canned meats.
After the war I heard about the Death March. I was not surprised, and I am not shocked.
The Americans were prisoners. They had disgraced themselves. No one could give a damn about them. So many of them were sick. Our men were doing them a favor killing them. It was faster than to die from diseases.
One of the things those prisoners did wrong was to walk so slowly. In the Japanese army there is nothing as bad as a man who walks slowly; he's not behaving as a soldier should.
In the Japanese army you had to expect to be kicked around. When I was first drafted, I quickly learned that the army had one way to do things. You did it that way. To make certain that we learned, the officers beat us. I was beaten so I couldn't recognize myself. No one questioned the right of the officer to do it.
An officer would use a leather sandal to whip your face. You stood and didn't complain. If you wore glasses, he allowed you to remove them. He would tell you to clench your teeth. He didn't want you to bite off your tongue. One man did and choked to death.
Everyone learned the lesson. If we complained, the long-term soldiers would pound your face raw. There was always someone willing to beat you. You shut up. Why be surprised about prisoners?
While I was in China, I had dysentery. We were on a troop train and were jammed into boxcars. There was no toilet, and the train wouldn't stop. All the officers allowed us to do was to open the door to do it outside. What the prisoners got wasn't much different.

A Reno woman is being sued by a third party debt collector...for a debt she says she never owed.
Consumer bankruptcy lawyers say most of these companies ARE legitimate.
But, you should check with your original creditor...to make sure your account has been assigned to a third party.
They say the "Fair Debt Collection Practice Act" can STOP collection agencies from harassing you.
All you have to do is send a certified letter...to the third party debt collector.
A collection agency usually gets involved...when the original creditor makes repeat attempts to collect but fails.
Usually, a third party buys the debt for 10-cents on the dollar, then collects the rest from you.

Healthy Swaps-Real Women Eat Frittatas
The problem with quiche is generally the pie crust. Flaky, tender, salty –– and full of bad fats and nutritionally empty carbohydrates. A standard, 9-inch, ready-to-bake pie crust contains 41 grams of fat, 63 grams of carbohydrates, and 818 milligrams of sodium.
The good news is you don't need the crust. Frittatas are delicious, can be made with an infinite variety of ingredients (i.e., whatever you've got in your kitchen), and stand alone beautifully in nice, triangle slices. Heat butter and olive oil in a 10-inch, saut pan that can go in the oven. Add garlic, onions, shallots, spinach, leeks –– whatever you have. Reduce heat to medium-low. Beat 8 eggs with milk, salt, and pepper, and pour into pan. Lift your veggies with a spatula so egg mixture gets underneath. Once the sides lift easily from the pan, and the top is beginning to set, remove from heat. Sprinkle with grated cheese, layer with sliced tomatoes and herbs. Bake in a 350-degree oven for 10 minutes or until center is cooked through.

SUN CITY, South Africa (AP) - Defending champion Lee Westwood shot 10-under 62 Saturday to take a seven-shot lead at the Nedbank Golf Challenge.
The No. 3-ranked Westwood produced the best round under normal rules at the Sun City tournament, reeling off 10 birdies for a 16-under 200 at the $5 million invitational event.
After Padraig Harrington's 61 in 2001 - when players were allowed to clean and place their ball because of wet weather - Westwood's performance was the lowest score in the 30 years of the Nedbank Challenge.
The Englishman picked up eight shots on overnight leader Graeme McDowell (70), who shared second at 9 under with Robert Karlsson (69).
Westwood didn't drop a shot in a third-round performance that topped the second-round 64 he shot here last year to set up an eight-stroke win.
He left the top-ranked player, the No. 4-ranked player, two current major champions and one former major winner all trailing in his wake.
Westwood had three birdies in a row from No. 2 and three more in succession through the turn. He finished by picking up four more shots on Nos. 14 through 17.
Westwood made birdies on each of the four par-5s and his score would have been even lower had he holed one of the four eagle putts he had on those long holes.
``If you ask me now (about) the poor shots I hit in the round, I probably could not tell you one,'' Westwood said. ``I hit it over the flag or right where I was aiming all day. It was as good as I've played in a long time.''
McDowell - the 2010 U.S. Open winner - had an eagle, three birdies, a bogey and a double-bogey to share second with Karlsson, who carded his third straight 69 at Gary Player Country Club.
American Jason Dufner returned a 70 after dropping a shot on No. 18. The Nedbank Challenge rookie was tied for fourth with No. 4-ranked Martin Kaymer, who also shot 70 with five birdies, a bogey and a double-bogey.
But none of the 12-man field - which also features top-ranked Luke Donald, Masters champion Charl Schwartzel and British Open winner Darren Clarke - could come close to the consistent brilliance of Westwood.
``It is great that it is a strong field this week, but you do not go in thinking about that at the start of the week,'' Westwood said. ``I enjoy playing this golf course. It is one of my favorites and you get what you deserve. It all went to plan.''
Donald was unable to launch a challenge as he was pulled back by bogeys early and late in his round to go with four birdies. He shot 70 for a 5-under 211 for eighth place, 11 shots off the pace.
South Korea's Kyung-tae Kim and South African Schwartzel shared sixth at 6 under, a shot ahead of Donald.
England's Simon Dyson (75) Denmark's Anders Hansen (77) and Clarke, who shot 76 after a 69 on Friday, dropped to 3 over.

Boys Will Be Boys
Hermione: The Wicked Slut Witch
Part 2
Boys Will Be Boys
Disclaimer: I know these stories are not "by the book", and yes I have read them and am a fan, this is just a perverted trip down my twisted brain. Open your mind and use your imagination, don't get so caught up in the norm sometimes the bizarre can be just as titillating. This is only my opinion and I welcome other views. I love all comments, good or bad, and invite everyone to post one. I hope you enjoy this installment. Happy reading!
Hermione Granger went about her life and true to his word Hagrid had a strong talk with Ron Weasley and Harry Potter until they saw reason to forgive her. They made up during a Hogsmeade weekend. Harry, having not gotten permission to visit Hogsmeade, snuck out under his invisibility cloak using a secret passage from the marauders map and met Hermione and Ron behind The Shrieking Shack. As soon as the three were joined Hermione wantonly dropped to her knees and proceeded to give "her boys" a double blow job. Trying to cram both Harry and Ron's dicks in her mouth was trickier then she had thought her teeth were in the way. She pulled out her wand and preformed a non-verbal spell that made her teeth vanish, with just her tongue and her gums she was better able to fit both "her boys" comfortably in her mouth. From the moans she was hearing she knew they both liked it very much.
"Her-mi-one, suck it harder. I love your gums rubbing along the underside of my cock." groaned Harry.
Hermione looked up at "her boys", Ron's head was lolling and he was drooling and Harry had a rapturous look on his face. A depraved idea occurred to her, "her boys" liked her sucking on their cock, but she had never seen them in this state, it seemed to her that they were really enjoying their dicks rubbing together in her mouth. Her wicked thoughts caused her pussy juice to leak down her thighs. She popped both cocks out of her mouth, held them together between her hands and continued to jerk them simultaneously making sure they stroked against each other. She watched their blissful expressions and listen to their elicit moans.
"Do my boys like the feel of each other's cock?" Hermione asked with an impish toothless grin.
Harry and Ron snapped out of their ecstasy filled hazed and stared down at Hermione with shock at what she was doing and they were enjoying. Ron saw Hermione's gummy grin and asked, "Hermione, what happened to your teeth?"
Hermione magicked her teeth back to place and stood up. She pointed at their dicks, "Boys, put those away," she demanded, "Harry give me your invisibility cloak,"
Harry and Ron hurriedly did as Hermione ordered because she was demanding and they usually followed her orders unless it had to do with quiddich but they especially listened if it had anything to do with sex. Hermione was brilliant at sex! Harry handed Hermione the invisibility cloak and she threw it over all three of them, "Harry take us to the secret passage way into Hogwarts." commanded Hermione.
"It's in the cellar of Honey Dukes, this way." said Harry as he led them to the candy shop. It was a bit tricky because the shop was popular so it was awfully crowded. They carefully made their way to the cellar and Harry had to check the marauders map to find the opening of the secret passage way.
Once they were in Hermione stripped off the cloak and steered them to the middle of the passage where they would not be overheard.
She pulled out her wand and said the incantation, "Nudo", and all their clothes vanished. "Her boys" still had managed to keep their hard-ons that is why she loved them. "Okay boys, let's play a little game," she smiled wickedly and the boys knew they were in for trouble, "I want you both to lay down facing opposite ways and," she hesitated for just a moment and then blurted out, "and suck each others dicks." she heard them gasp. "Wait, the first one to get the other off gets a prize…" she stopped because they were giving her murderous looks.
"Hermione," Ron whinged, "how is that a game? Harry and I aren't AC/DC."
"Oh, I didn't mean to offend you boys it's just that the thought of watching you suck each others big cocks," she stuck two fingers deep into her pussy and started frigging herself, "makes my kitty cat so hot. Oh, fuck yessss." she moaned as she came. "I'm cumming just from the thought of it. Please, oohhh fuck, pretty please, OOOHHHH FUCKK!" her pussy squirted into her hand.
Ron was so turned on by Hermione's squirting pussy, "Merlin's Balls Hermione, let me lick out that kitty. Can you squirt on my face?" Ron inquired.
"I think so Ron," Hermione petted her kitty cat for his enjoyment, "but if I squirt in your face what are you going to do for me?" asked Hermione in her sexiest purr.
"Blimey Hermione, if you coat his dick with your pussy juices," Ron said dejectedly and then he whispered, "I'll suck Harry's cock for you."
"What? Wait I…" Harry started.
"Come off it mate, it's all just sex. Let's give it a go if we don't like it, no harm done. We are the only ones who will ever know. Besides Hermione gives us all the sex we want. Who are we to deny her request? You don't want to go back to wanking, do you? Come on Harry, all the sex you could want or your right hand?" Ron finished with an obscene pantomime.
"Fine, Ron's right Hermione but you have to promise never to speak of this to anyone. ANYONE! Promise?" Harry waited for confirmation.
"Yes, yes I promise. Yea, Thank you boys, my kitty cat thanks you. Now Ron, lick the kitty so it can squirt for you." Hermione conjured a chaise lounge and sat upon it spread eagle, leaned back on her elbows with an excited spark of anticipation in her eyes.
Ron went straight to work licking her gash with his long, pointy tongue. He knew better then to over stimulate Hermione's huge one inch clit too soon or she would pass out. Ron licked and sucked her inner and outer lips for several minutes the plunged into her love hole and began to fuck her with his tongue, pushing it in as deep and as fast as he could.
Hermione felt her orgasm rising from deep inside her pussy but she could tell it wasn't going to make her squirt, "Ron…oh fuck baby…I'm gonna cum…please suck my clit…suck it hard," Ron did as she asked and sucked her clit like it was a baby cock, "FUCK…FUCK…SUCK ME…OH FUCK YES…SUCK IT YOU BIG STUD," Hermione screamed out and squirted like a geyser and passed out as Ron placed his mouth at her gushing hole to drink all of her sweet pussy juice.
"Merlin's beard!" exclaimed Harry as he saw how much Hermione's kitty cat squirted. "Ron, let me in there. I have to get a taste of Hermione's cat juice." Harry said as he elbowed Ron out of his way and noisily sucked the remaining nectar from Hermione's kitty.
"Oh no, she's passed out on us mate. We'll have to wait until she wakes up to shag her." Ron whined.
"Fuck off mate; we don't have that much time left. I'm shagging her rotten and I don't give a friar tuck that she's passed out." ranted Harry as he stood up and eased his seven inch cock inside Hermione's insanely tight, hot, wet gash. Harry let out a sigh of pleasure when his knob was to the hilt. "Blimey Ron, it's like she gets tighter every time we fuck her." stated Harry and he looked at Ron who was sitting on Hermione's face and titty fucking her. Harry shook his head and laughed, "That's it mate, she a right good slag, isn't she. Fuck…I fucking love her snug kitty cat." Harry reached over and gave her large clitoris a firm squeeze and he swore her heard moan in pleasure beneath Ron's arse. "Love, are you with us again?" Harry asked Hermione.
"She's too busy licking my arsehole to answer you right now mate." said Ron with a wide grin on his face. "HERMIONE!" screamed Ron in surprise and outrage. "You had better suck my balls if your going to stick your finger up my bum." complained Ron but then sighed as Hermione complied and started fucking her titties with more vigor. Ron let out a sudden and loud groan and came all over Hermione's tits and stomach. Spent he laid on Hermione with his head at her clit and let his tongue gently play with the swollen nub.
"Ron, it's time you kept your promise. Get off me. I want to watch," demanded Hermione and Ron slowly obeyed. He sluggishly got up and knelt at Harry's side.
"Fuck off wanker; I haven't finished shagging, have I?" Harry said trying to put off Ron sucking his cock but Hermione's pussy was so good he didn't know how long he could hold off.
"Ron, baby come up here and lick Harry's cock as it goes in and out of my kitty cat," suggested Hermione and Ron did as she asked letting his tongue lick her pussy and ride along Harry's dick. Hermione played with Ron's hair and purred, "Oh baby that looks great, lick Harry's dick more for me, baby."
Ron then firmly placed his tongue on Harry's penis and Harry lengthened and slowed his strokes. He was fucking Hermione while Ron was licking the underside of his penis. "That's fucking brilliant, mate," growled Harry and before he knew what he was doing he pulled out of Hermione's pussy and feed his cock to his best mate Ron and Ron sucked his dick for all he was worth. Taking Harry's cock down his throat while Harry moaned, "Fuck Ron, where'd you learn to suck cock like that? Oh fuck yeah!" then Harry grabbed Ron by his bright red hair and started furiously fucking Ron's face. He could feel Ron's moans of bliss on his penis, "You love sucking my cock, don't you? Fuck Hermione, I think Ron sucks cock better than you. Oh shit, I'm cumming. Ooohh Fuucckkkk!" Harry screamed out his orgasm. His first spurt went straight down Ron's throat then Harry pulled out a bit because he wanted Ron to taste his cum (he was more turned on the he would ever admit to Hermione). After Harry deposited a couple more spurts on Ron's tongue he pulled completely out to finish jizzing on his best mates face, suddenly Hermione's kitty spontaneously gushed her squirt onto Harry's dick and Ron's face.
Ron quickly licked Hermione's entire squirt off of Harry's dick then Hermione jumped up and tackled Ron to eat the mingled goop off Ron's face, loving the combination of Harry's cum and her cum. It made quite an elixir and she needed to share this wonderful aphrodisiac so she lapped some up and kisses Ron passionately sharing with him the love potion he helped make.
"Mmm, thank you Hermione. That was delicious." Ron sighed as their lips parted.
"You're delicious." purred Hermione and she lapped up more of the concoction and kissed Ron more deeply. They moaned into each other's mouths.
Harry watched the kissing duo lustfully he wanted to jump Ron and suck his dick but he didn't want Hermione to know how he felt. He didn't know how he felt. He was confused. Damn Hermione for opening up this Pandora's Box of feelings. Why couldn't she leave well enough alone? Hadn't he, Harry, and Ron, given her enough pleasure without her pursuing these obscene games? Harry was so wrapped up in his thoughts that he hadn't noticed that his two best friends had gotten up and were speaking to him.
"Harry did you hear me?" asked Hermione as Harry caught her eye and focused. "I said we better be getting back to the castle. Dinner is in an hour and I wanted to go to the library before then. I have so much homework." the last words were spoken more to herself than to Harry and Ron. "Aroparti," Hermione cast the spell to return their clothes and she walked ahead suddenly remembering all she had to do for her classes. Harry followed but Ron stayed back.
"Hermione, aren't you going to vanish the chaise?" asked Ron
"Leave it there. We can always use it again." she turned and told Ron with a mischievous gleam in her eyes.
Ron hurried to catch up. When they got to the opening to the secret passage they stopped so Harry could check the marauders map. The coast was clear so they clambered out of the opening, which was a statue of a witch with a hump and her hump was the opening.
They were walking down the corridor towards Gryffindor Tower when Hermione let out a gasp of horror.
"What is it Hermione?" asked Ron and Harry in unison.
"Oh Harry, I forgot your invisibility cloak in the secret passage," whispered Hermione, "I'm so sorry. I'll go back and get it. You two go on and get ready for dinner." Hermione sighed thinking of the lost time this would cost her.
Harry swiftly formed a plan, "No Hermione, Ron and I will go back and get my invisibility cloak. You have a lot of homework with all those extra classes you're taking this year. You go on. We'll see you at dinner." Harry said forcefully.
"Oh, thank you Harry and you too Ron," she looked around to make sure no one was around and kissed them both shortly but soundly, "I love you both!" she whispered as she speed off and as she rounded the corner she blew them a kiss.
"Blimey Harry, what you do that for? I was hoping to get a nap in before dinner." Ron grumbled.
"Weren't you the one who said, 'Hermione gives us all the sex we want', I'm just trying to keep her happy." said Harry condescendingly.
"Well, why'd you listen to me for mate? You should have told me to stuff it." Ron laughed and Harry joined him.
They made it back to the statue of the witch and checked the marauders map before the climbed through her hump and into the secret passage. They walked along until they reached the chaise lounge and found the invisibility clock draped over the back of the chaise.
"There it is mate. Get it and let's go." Ron assumed and he turned and walked away. He didn't hear Harry follow so he turned back and saw Harry sitting at the foot of the chaise with his head hung down. "What's wrong, Harry? Let's get a move on." Ron said as he walked back to Harry.
When Ron reached him, Harry looked up. Ron saw lust smoldering in Harry's eyes and was confused. "I believe I owe you one." said Harry. He saw that Ron was even more confused so Harry grabbed the front Ron's jeans and unfastened them for him, then comprehension dawned in Ron's eyes and as Harry grasped Ron's dick it got hard in his hands. Harry sat there wanking his best mate's six inch knob. "Blimey this thing is fat." exclaimed Harry as he ran his thumb over the head of Ron's penis.
"Stick it in your mouth Harry. You're gonna like it. I loved yours. Go on mate." urged Ron and he eagerly thrusted his cock towards Harry's mouth. Harry opened wide to accept his friend's penis into his mouth. He twirled his tongue around the knob then began to suck in earnest. It was brilliant! He loved the way it filled his mouth up and when he felt a nudge at the back of his throat he relaxed so Ron could fuck his face properly. When Harry felt Ron grab his hair and thrust his cock down his throat it set off Harry's moans. When Ron felt the vibrations on his cock he could not control himself, "Fuck Harry…Suck it man," growled Ron. "Suck…my…cock…suck…my…cock…fuck." and with each word Ron rammed his cock down Harry's willing throat and Harry could feel Ron's balls slamming against his chin.
Harry gathered some of the saliva that was running down his chin, reached around Ron and inserted a finger into Ron's bum and gently finger fucked him.
"FUCK HARRY. I'M FUCKING CUMMING! KEEP FUCKING MY ARSE. OOHHHH FFFUUUCCCKKKK! SWALLOW MY FUCKING CUM." yelled Ron as he shot his cum down Harry's throat and Harry swallowed then Harry pulled back so Ron could finish cumming on his tongue.
He was excited to taste Ron's cum. It tasted amazing and Harry swallowed all of Ron's cum and sucked the rest off Ron's dick. "That was fucking brilliant!" exclaimed Harry. "You taste wonderful. Thank you Ron." Harry smiled at his best mate.
"Anytime mate. Fuck when you stuck your finger up my arse I almost lost it. That was brilliant!" said Ron with a sly grin while fastening his jeans. "We better get going. It's dinner time and suddenly I'm starving." they both laughed.
Harry grabbed the invisibility clock folded it and hid it in his cloak. Harry and Ron made it out of the passage without being detected and preceded to the Great Hall. They sat down next to Hermione at the Gryffindor table. Ron and Harry piled food on the plates and tucked in.
Hermione leaned in lewdly winked and whispered to them, "Did my boys like playing with each other?"
Harry and Ron practically choked on their food but seeing the lust in Hermione's eyes they laughed instead and looked at each other. "Yes, we did!" they answered in unison and all three lovers laughed together.

I have heard wonderful things about Head-Fi and I thought I would stop by for a recommendation. So I currently own a pair of Corsair HS1-USB headphones/headset. I was disappointed in the mic and sound quality, most notably a complete lack of bass with out massive EQ boosts (messing up the other frequencies in the process) and today the audio cable leading from the inline volume control decided to stop playing my center channel on both left and right headphones unless I bend the cable in different shapes. Being my third headset in under a year I figured its time to get something nice.
Price Range: $100 is sweet spot, willing to go $200 if ABSOLUTELY necessary
Used for: Gaming, and Music
Music Types: I listen to a lot of different music, from classical to techno to death-metal it all sounds good (to me anyway) having deep but accurate bass is something I really want.
Games: Mostly FPS's so awesome explosions ect. positional accuracy is a massive bonus, (I know this job is more for the audio processor but I thought id throw it in)

Hello and thank you for using Just AnswerYou will be considered as a Nonresident of California and you will need to file a nonresident return reporting all the potion of the income that you earn in CA.
Nonresidents must file a return if they have any California source income and their income from all sources is more than the filing requirement amounts for residents.
Please let me know if you need clarification.
The portion you receive for the work in CA is the amount that will be taxable to CA. If you earn total $100,000 from all work everywhere and of that $33,000 was earned because of your work in CA, then $33,000 is what is taxable to CA. Now Illinois will tax you on all of it and you can get a credit for the taxes paid to CA on your Illinois return.Nonresidents must look to total income from all work just to see if they have earned enough that they have to file a return but just the CA portion is taxable to CA.
No, as I advised you earlier, Illinois will tax you on all income because you are a resident of Illinois. Ca will tax you only on portion you earned while actually in CA. Illinois will allow you a credit for the taxes paid to CA on the CA portion.
Not at all. I would rather you understand the situation fully then have a quick interaction.
Best wishes and thank you again.

Sobre nosotros
Better Georgia, the state's fastest growing progressive advocacy organization, is here to make sure elected officials listen to Georgia families, small business owners and real people. We want our elected officials to pass sensible laws and policies that make Georgia a better state.
Today, Georgia faces historic levels of unemployment with nearly half a million workers looking for jobs. Georgia has the 3rd highest poverty rate in nation, with two cities ranked among our nation's 10 poorest places to live. Georgia's students are defaulting on student loans faster than the national average. Meanwhile, businesses refuse to open in Georgia because our representatives pass laws intended to please a small, extreme group.
It's time someone other than lobbyists and big-pocket corporations demand action from our elected officials.
Better Georgia will.
We're a new and growing non-partisan organization that will make sure Georgia's leaders focus on real problems for real Georgians.
Working with partners around the state, our goal is to:
- Hold our government accountable to real people
- Share new research and polling
- Advocate progressive solutions to the problems facing Georgia
- Organize rapid response communications to distortions or lies that others present as facts
- Highlight failed conservative polices and the ethical failures within government
- Use new technology and social media to organize and empower Georgians across the state

It needs to be clarified that it's guilds in the Scandinavian countries in particular that are the ones making world firsts. Just referring to EU is very misleading.
It's a combination of their culture, work ethic, welfare that make for an ideal gaming environment.
Do you see Germany the top economic EU powerhouse making world firsts? No
Do you see Italy Spain France Britain on that list? No
Eastern European nations like Poland? No
Haha! I fucking love how americans is making all kinds of excuses just because they yet FAILED TO DELIVER on the world first end boss! Talking about being butthurt.
Keep it coming, I'll just chillax over here in Sweden, eat my lunch watch americans be so pissed that they can not man up and admit they failed because of their huge egos and arrogance getting in the way.
Fucking love it!
---------- Post added 2012-10-13 at 10:26 AM ----------
There is no point, I've read numerous post about americans blaming education, economy, this and that but when they get something first, they are the best and in world and nothing can even be compared.
GZ again to Method-EU for clearing the first raid!
All of this rage over pixels in a video game....roflmao.
To fix the whole 25man vs 10man world first crap blizzard needs to do 1 thing....
Release a achievement that states "World First Kill" and leave it at that let the guilds chose how they get it..
Personally i think there is way more EU guilds going for world first then US so that plays apart in this.
And as the person i have quoted has proven this thread is turning into a bash US bash EU thread and needs to be closed.

I wasn't trying to make this a competition, but since you're so hooked up on here you go;
Gz on 49! See I can come up with random "medals per x" scenarios as well!
Nothing worth having comes easy. That's why hard content is worth doing, and easy content is a waste of time.
The only thing Blizzard need to do is implement server first (10) and server first (25) FoS, instead of one does all. The community need to realise to keep the 10man and the 25man race seperate, both having their own equally valid World First, and stop arguing between EU and US. If the EU beats the US, or the US beat EU, doesn't matter, it simply means the best guild won.
I agree i ment a world first achievement of its own.
I always seen it as first person to kill it is the first dose not matter if its 10 or 25man. i mainly raid 10mans *back when i played*.
What i find funny is people trying so hard to defend something that is so small and stupid.

Lets head into politics, if you could create a similiar system in the US, perhaps you can challange us no-life-basement nerds who get paid by the government to play a Computer game.
To even suggest that it is because our social security IN SOME EUROPEAN countries is the reason is to suggest that all american are trigger finger who wants to police the world and continue to ruin the middle east....oh wait...thats actually the the case...sorry.
Ye it's funny how the excuses keep pouring in LOL. Check this list of countries by unemployment rate, the US is even with United Kingdom and higher than both Sweden and Finland.
Fucking rofl, oh americans, when will you learn? Apperantly never since they have always failed to deliver in the raiding scene since God knows when.

Raging? Haha, not raging, I'm loving it, you all having to bite that sour apple
There is really no point to this thread other than senseless gloating and by the looks of it, it's going downward fast.
The OP and a bunch of others trying to take credit for World First guilds that have absolutely no relationship to them (EU and US included) other than nationality and then wondering why this always devolves into flaming contests.
The Koreans beat both EU and US in competitive PVP but you don't see them gloating here or making posts about why Korea is #1 in PVP. Maybe you could learn something about them.
Lets not be rude, US had Death and Taxes and Exodus, but they got a World First with a exploit(cheat) so they got at least something to be proud of ^^

Great idea, looks great.
i love this how much would you charge at a craft fair for theses
This is so awesome! I'm excited to try it!!!
This is really cute and I had no idea a hangar could be so pliable. laura
Love this! Thanks for sharing it with us.
I really love this wreath! What a fabulous idea!
This is gorgeous! I'm going to try and make this too; thanks for sharing the turtorial!
HAHA!!! I Love that you did this this season to! I saw a pintrest pin or something somewhere with a link to Eddie Ross' original post on how to make one of these wreathes and decided I had to do as well! I am curious as to what size ornaments you used since mine only took 50 ornaments (I bought some shatterproof ones from Target for $10 after my coupon). Mine is done in silver and purple ornaments with a silver bow and hanging from a plant hook inthe ceiling that was already in place (a lamp that sits below it really illuminates the sparkle). I also found the recipe (and made it for a class I taught last month) for the Cake Batter Fudge and got GREAT reviews! I enjoy reading what you are all up to! Thanks for sharing! Christine in North Dakota (also at mountains2prairie.blogspot.com)
I love it!
that is an AMAZING IDEA!!!! def gonna have to try this!!
http://mscomposure.blogspot.com -
Made two today!!!! Thanks for the tutorial & the tip about Dollar Tree ornaments!! 🙂
PS- Here's the two I made.. I had trouble with the bows, so I kind of winged it lol..

Brittney- yours are beautiful!! And I am LOVING your bows!! I need you to teach me how to make those!! 🙂 Thanks for sharing!
Super cute wreath! I'm loving that these are so quick to make. (I just finished an ornament wreath by gluing each one to a form–pretty lengthy process!)
I love this wreath! so cute and festive!! I am kinda jealous I didn't make one this season:> I am so pinning this and featuring it this coming week:> Thanks so much for linking up and sharing at my Feature Friday Linky Party!

Great idea! I have soooo many extra ornaments… I just pinned this to make one. Thanks for the great tutorial. Stopping by from Tatertots & Jello- I'm your newest follower! So cute that there are 6 of you girls… we're pregnant with our 4th BOY here!
Laurie @ Gallamore West -
I started making this for Christmas 2010 but ran out of ornaments and the Dollar Store didn't have any more. But, for the 2011 season, they stocked the very same ornaments so I bought enough more to finish the wreath. I made the mistake of making the entire wreath with the small balls. It took a lot more balls and time than I had anticipated. BUT I really enjoyed having my wreath on my door. It will come back out this year.
what a fabulous idea!
How did you keep those suckers from breaking, they're so fragile?
They are actually shiny plastic and very sturdy! 🙂
I can't figure out how it will still hang up if I cover the hook like you show. Maybe I'm missing something?
I have made 4 of these wreaths so far and they are beautiful. I found an easier way to make the bow from YouTube. I attached fishing line to the wire hanger as the top of the hanger broke.
My wreath won't hang flat on the door…anyone else having this problem? Or know how I can fix it?
Any problems with the balls breaking when opening and closing the door?
What size balls did you use?
I made one last night! I shared my experience and finished project on my Christmas blog, if you'd like to stop by and check it out. http://truexmasspirit.blogspot.com/2014/12/sharing-joy-weekend-crafting-i-made.html
Thanks for the fantastic craft!
I loved this idea and tried it last year. I got so frustrated. I did hot glue the tops on the ornaments, but then they kept breaking off where the ornament holder ring was. I bought my ornaments from BJ's. So Frustrated. Want this to work this year any suggestions?
What did you do for hanging the ornament wreath?
By the way Very Pretty!
How big is this overall. Looking to make a very big one for outdoors!!
Thanks for a great tutorial!

The Diagnosis and Treatment of Secular Man
Again, it is axiomatic that if man, history, and the cosmos do not point beyond themselves to a transcendent end -- to something outside themselves -- they cannot be meaningful, period.
Really, there are no degrees of meaning; rather, there is either meaning or meaninglessness (similar to there being only nihilism or theism, with nothing in between; or, more precisely, prolongations of either more nihilism or theism in between). Or, put it this way: unless meaning is anchored in Meaning, then all of the little meanings we come up with are just fleeting shadows we invent to pretend that life is more significant than it is.
This also goes to the meaning of the personal self. Why does it exist? Science, of course, cannot answer this question, for the same reason that it cannot legitimately answer any "why" question. For science -- even leaving aside the ideological reductionism and materialism that results in the deformity of scientism -- is a closed system. It absurdly posits a universe that is sufficient unto itself to explain itself and everything in it (and I use the word "absurd" in a literal sense, not as a term of abuse; I'll get to the abuse later.).
While this anti-philosophy obviously appeals to a certain kind of desiccated soul who is either not metaphysically sophisticated or in rebellion against God, it is the quintessence of a mirage. Trying to ground the metaphysical basis for such an impoverished view is about as fruitful as looking for the end of a rainbow. For both phenomena have only to do with a transient illusion that emerges due to certain concatenation of eyes, light, and vapor (or man, tenure, and gas).
As we have mentioned before, Eastern religions tend to err on the side of transcendence, devaluing this life as maya. To back up a bit, any religion begins with a diagnosis of man as such (doctrine), followed by a prescription, or kind of pneumatherapy (method): like medicine, it's Dx --> Rx --> Tx.
Buddhism, for example, diagnoses man as living in illusion, the biggest illusion of them all being that the personal self actually exists. Thus, its therapy involves "waking up" to this prior fact ("Buddha" roughly means "awakened"). Strictly speaking, its method of therapy does not result in the "attainment" of anything, only the recognition of what is, which is shunyada yada yada, or nothing but the ceaseless, passing play of empty phenomena.
In the absence of revelation, this is as far as religion can aspire. In other words, there is natural religion and transnatural religion; or, religions of ascent and religions of descent.
In the West we also have our religions of ascent, most notably the neo-Platonic tradition that reaches its perfect expression in Plotinus. Please note that this method (or cosmo-therapy) involves no grace, or (↓), only our own (↑). It does work, but at the expense of obliterating the personal self and rendering its hopes and dreams so much vain strutting and striving on the cosmic stage. Nor does the One care about us in any personal way.
What if scientism were a religion? What would be its diagnosis, or doctrine? And its method, or therapy? I suppose its diagnosis would be analogous to Buddhism, in that it affirms that you are living in illusion -- for example the illusion that you are more than your genes, that life is more than a statistically rare agglomeration of matter, or that human existence has any purpose beyond perpetuating itself (which is no purpose at all).
And what would be its therapy? I suppose attending one of its seminaries and assimilating this teaching from the priesthood of physicists and biologists. "Salvation" would be liberation from the error of religion, or really, from any kind of transcendent meaning or purpose in general. Once you recognize that life is just a meaningless competition of selfish genes, you have received the secular gnosis.
However, in any real religion there is recognition of the truth, followed by its gradual assimilation, i.e., conforming one's being to it (hence the need for ongoing "therapy," i.e., spiritual practice). It's one thing to recognize, say, Darwinism, but what would it mean to truly assimilate its truth (illumination), purge one's being of error (purification), and to live in conformity with it (unification)?
In order to do that, you would have to leave behind all traces of illusory human meaning, and see through the various stratagems produced by selfish genes. For example, you would have to recognize that romantic love is just an illusion created for the purposes of getting one's genes into the next generation. In this context, homosexuality would have to be the ultimate his & heresy, but marriage of any kind would be for sentimental fools.
Anyway, we were about to get into a discussion of the order of the mind, which itself is an interesting word, order. For the cosmos is not just ordered (obviously), but hierarchically ordered, in such way that man is confronted with various intelligible and relatively autonomous "orders."
For example, there is the order of physics, the order of biology, the order of mind -- everywhere we look, order. Why? And what is the relationship between, say, the order of the cosmos and the order of the soul? Scientism would insist that there is no such relationship, and that any supposed order of the soul is just another illusion that ultimately reduces to the order of matter.
But any religious tradition holds the opposite view, that man is both microcosm and mediator, and that there is an intimate relationship between the micro- and macrocosm: as above, so below. And ironically, the pursuit of genuine science began with this assumption, but has gradually severed itself from its own lofty roots.
But make no mistake: any tenured primate who pretends to understand reality is implicitly affirming that man the microcosm is uniquely capable of conforming his understanding to the macrocosm -- that the two are somehow one in the act of knowing that bridges them.
More generally, he is affirming that man is capable of adequating himself to ultimate reality, which is precisely what a Raccoon believes -- and which is why I don't understand the charges of "arrogance," "absolutism," or "absurd self-confidence." Those charges aren't rational. Rather, they are just what happens when someone who thought his was the only religion encounters another people with a different religion.
Out of time. To be continued....

What is the social gospel?
Question: "What is the social gospel?"
Answer: The phrase "social gospel" is usually used to describe a Protestant Christian intellectual movement that came to prominence in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Those who adhered to a social gospel sought to apply Christian ethics to social problems such as poverty, slums, poor nutrition and education, alcoholism, crime, and war. These things were emphasized while the doctrines of sin, salvation, heaven and hell, and the future kingdom of God were downplayed. Theologically, the social gospel leaders were overwhelmingly postmillennialist, asserting that Christ's Second Coming could not happen until humankind rid itself of social evils by human effort.
For a Christian perspective on the idea of a social gospel, we need to look to Jesus, who lived in one of history's most corrupt societies. Jesus never issued any call for political change, not even by peaceful means. He did not come to earth to be a political or social reformer. The gospel Jesus preached did not have to do with social reform or social justice or political change. Rather than attempt to change governments and institutions, which are made up of people, Jesus came to change people's hearts and point them to God's kingdom. He preached the saving power of the gospel and the transforming work of the Holy Spirit.
Yes, Jesus showed deep compassion for the poor, the sick, the dispossessed, and the outcasts of society. He healed them, but before taking care of their physical or emotional needs, He first took care of their spiritual needs. He was most concerned about the state of their souls and preached the gospel of repentance from sin through Him so they understood that their eternal destiny was far more important than their circumstances here on earth. Several of His parables conveyed this truth, including Lazarus and the rich man (Luke 16:19–31). The rich man, who had every possible social advantage, spent eternity in hell while Lazarus, the poorest of the poor with dire social needs, was comforted in heaven.
Social justice is based on the concepts of human rights and equality. The Bible supports social justice with regard to the plight of the poor and the afflicted, orphans and widows, and people unable to support themselves. The nation of Israel was commanded by God to care for the less fortunate in society. Jesus told us to care for those who are hungry and thirsty, who are sick or in prison, the outcasts of society (Matthew 25:34–40).
Jesus reflected God's sense of justice by bringing the gospel message to the lower rungs of society. The wealthy also need to hear the gospel message, but it is noteworthy that the well-to-do, the upstanding and respected members of society are less likely to see their utter spiritual bankruptcy before God and embrace the message of the gospel. Christians are under a personal obligation to love their neighbours as they love themselves (Matthew 22:39). We have a responsibility to be good stewards of our own wealth because all wealth comes from and belongs to God. Christians should take a God-centered approach to social justice, not a man-centered approach. We see Christ Jesus as our Savior. When He returns, He will restore justice. In the meantime, Christians are to express God's love and justice by showing kindness in practical ways to those less fortunate.

Lentils and chicken are the star ingredients of this flavorful dish. I wouldn't say its the most authentic way of making haleem. But its as close as it can get in a Bengali home in sub-zero temperatures.
I realized the more haleem recipes (Pakistani as well as Indian), I watched, the more confused I became. So I stuck to whatever was available and reliable- my own memory!
Though the traditional way of cooking haleem is often done with beef or lamb, I used chicken in this recipe. Also the original recipe asks to soak the lentils (dal) overnight, I soaked them for a couple of hours coz it was only late in the afternoon that I decided I wanted to make haleem for dinner.
In separate saucepans, boil until mushy the broken wheat and the chana-moong dal combination. Make sure you have enough water for the lentils to cook without burning. Drain enough the excess liquid. But keep some to cook later with the chicken.
In a thick bottom pan, heat 3 tablespoon ghee, add the cardamoms, bay leaf, cumin, cinnamon and temper for a minute. Then add the thinly sliced onions and dry till they are pink-brown in color.
Add the ginger-garlic paste and fry for a couple of minutes. Then add the salt, chili powder and turmeric powder. Let all the spices mix well.
Add the chicken pieces and mix all the spices and the onions well. Cook covered for at least 15 minutes on low heat.
Do not add any water. The chicken and the onions have enough water which get released due to the slow cooking and salt.
Add the boiled lentils and broken wheat to the chicken. Mix well. Now add the chopped chilies, coriander and mint.
Squeeze the juice of one lemon. You can even sprinkle some crisply fried onions on the chicken haleem before you serve. The haleem needs to be eaten immediately while the tang and spice are just fresh!
Its warming and perfect for the cold weather. A simple but delicious meal in itself, but I served it with some hot spinach parathas.

Maori views on Marine & Coastal Area Bill
Te Karere have released part 2 of their poll of 1,000 Maori voters.
They have asked "The new legislation replacing the Foreshore and Seabed Act is the Marine and Coastal Area Bill and is currently before Parliament. Do you support the new Bill?". 24% said yes, 39% no and 38% don't know. so neither yes or no is the majority, but more are saying they don't support it.
However when they are asked "Do you think the Maori Party should support the new Bill to become law?" it is almost a dead heat – 31% yes, 32% no and 37% don't know. I think this sums up the challenge for the Maori Party – that there is a 50/50 split amongst those who have an opinion in terms of whether they vote for it.
There is a small difference by roll type. Those on the Maori roll are a net 3% against and those on the general roll a net 3% in favour.
Final question to Maori Party voters only was "Do you think the National and Maori Party coalition has worked in favour of your best interests? and 48% said yes and 46% no. Those on Maori roll were 4% net yes and those on geeral roll 8% net no.

We should totally move it to Irvine, and do it in the winter.
Yes, I was wrong about them owning or purchasing the park, but Goldenvoice is putting "final touches on a contract that would allow Goldenvoice, the promoter behind the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, to stage a large, multi-day music festival at the Orange County Great Park as soon as 2013." So it is a possibility that GV could theoretically move/make a new festival in Irvine. Am I seriously not allowed to have casual conversation on these boards without triple-checking my comments? I'm not writing a fucking research paper. You are totally allowed to disagree with me (in fact, I expect you to), but I think a bigger festival in Irvine would be cool. That's all I was trying to say. Leave me alone.
I'm with this guy ^ lets move it to Irvine and have mostly Brazilian acts.
Lets just bring Carnivale to the streets of Irvine. The city could use more brown nudity.
8/7/16 - Sufjan Stevens @ Hollywood Bowl // 8/8/16 - Radiohead @ Shrine // 8/8/16 - Boris @ Regent
9/14/16 - Wilco @ Theatre at Ace Hotel // 9/18/16 - Kraftwerk @ Hollywood Bowl
Gnarly dude
Actually the location is a big part of it. I'm assuming you've seen the beauty of the mountains and the setting sun there...pretty hard to beat. I agree if they could take the same vibe and put it in another equally cool location with other bonuses like later set times, it might be worth it, but Irvine is not that place. If you actually read that article you'd know that Irvine is super conservative and does not want to even allow alcohol at this new fest they are planning. So tell me how a sterilized Coachella fest in lame ass orange county would be better than what it currently is?
I'm not trying to nit pick you by the way, just pointing out that your argument sucks.
Let's go on a livin' spree!
I agree the mountains are sick, but I think an upgrade in size would help Coachella, particularly with this ticket purchase fuckfest we have to go through now every year. EDC fit over >100k people at the speedway and it didn't feel more crowded than Coachella was. I value fitting more people into Coachella and reducing the ticket headaches over the mountains.
It's not like I'm saying move it to Irvine because Irvine is so awesome. Everyone on these boards has been bitching about the fact that tickets sell out in minutes - this is a potential solution to that problem. I realize this opinion is in the minority.
More people at the fest and 3 hours further away from me? No thanks.
the busy bee has no time for sorrow.
Atmosphere is a huge draw to Coachella for me. Irvine is the death knell to any kind of "atmosphere", and I'm someone who generally "likes" Orange County.
Nobody wants the capacity to be bigger. That's stupid.

text: Johannesburg - Former world heavyweight boxing champion Corrie Sanders, shot dead in a robbery, was laid to rest at a funeral in in Pretoria on Monday with friends saying he was a gentle man who gave his life to save others. Sanders, 46, was shot in the arm and the stomach when robbers raided a restaurant near Brits, in North West Province, where he and other family members were attending a birthday party for his nephew nine days ago. Relatives said Sanders used his body to shield his daughter when the robbers started shooting. "He was a gentle giant - a guy who was dangerous in the ring but harmless outside of it," boxing promoter Nick Durandt told reporters after the funeral held at a church in Pretoria and attended by hundreds of mourners. Police last week arrested three suspects - all Zimbabwean citizens - who appeared before a court in Brits, 80 km northwest of Johannesburg, on Monday to face charges of murder and armed robbery, SAPA news agency said. Southpaw Sanders, nicknamed "The Sniper" because of his fierce and quick left, won the World Boxing Organisation (WBO) heavyweight title in 2003 with a surprise knockout of Ukraine's Vladimir Klitschko. He lost only four of his 46 professional fights.

The City of Tucson will have a mayoral race after all, now that write-in candidate Rick Grinnell received enough Republican votes in the Aug. 30 primary election to move on to the general election.
Grinnell will face Democrat Jonathan Rothschild in November.
With 5,773 votes, Grinnell received five times the number of votes required for a write-in to advance to the general election.
Rothschild, who ran unopposed in the primary, received 24,134 votes, according to the unofficial results.
Current Tucson Mayor Bob Walkup opted not to run for reelection.
The General Election
While the Aug. 30 primary election was open only to voters inside Tucson city limits, the November election will have several regional questions for local voters to decide.
The Marana and Oracle school districts will be on the ballot.
The Marana Unified School District is seeking voter authorization to continue operating at
10 percent over its existing management and operation budget, an action voters had approved during previous elections.
The override was originally approved in 2007.
The Oracle School District is asking for new money to update aging facilities that do not meet current building codes.
The district is asking residents to approve a $13 million bond that will amount to a 50-cent property tax increase per $100 of a property's assessed value.
SaddleBrooke residents will play a key role in whether the initiative passes.
A look ahead
The 2012 elections are already shaping up to receive national attention as all eyes remain on District 8 Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords and whether she can recover from a gunshot wound to the head and run for a third term.
Giffords, who was shot in an assassination attempt on Jan. 8, may already have a challenger within her own party.
Tucson special education teacher Anthony Prowell has announced his intentions to run on the Democratic ticket against Giffords in 2012.
Prowell filed paperwork to enter the race with the Federal Election Commission in July.
On the Republican side, District 30 Sen. Frank Antenori has formed an exploratory committee to research the possibility of running for the District 8 seat next year.
Antenori said he is in the very early stages of the process, adding plenty of questions need to be answered before he can throw his hat into the ring.
The biggest question is whether Giffords will run for reelection.
Arizona residents also will elect a U.S. Senator to replace incumbent Rep. John Kyl, who has announced he will not seek reelection.
General election dates
Last day to register: Oct. 11
Early voting begins: Oct. 13
Election day: Nov. 8

Roles in the Corps: Fixed-Wing Pilot
[Capt Fox]:
My MOS, the designation is 7509, it's Harrier pilot. After The Basic School, I moved to Pensacola, Florida, for API, Aviation Preflight Indoctrination. That's a ground school that all pilots go through before they actually get in the cockpit of an aircraft. It's a six-week-long course learning the fundamentals of aviation, aerodynamics and so forth. And then from there, I moved on to Corpus Christi, which is in southern Texas, for my primary flight training. Primary flight training is where all pilots begin after their ground school. We fly a propeller plane; it's called a T-34. And that was a six-month course. Then after there, everyone splits off in whatever direction they take, whether it's helicopters, C-130s; jets, my path was jets.
Flight school was very competitive, especially if you're striving to get into the jet community. They make it difficult by simulating emergencies and so forth, to try to make it as realistic as possible and to basically test your ability to think under pressure and maneuver the aircraft under pressure. First you learn how to safely fly the aircraft but the whole reason why we're flying it is to employ it so once we know how to fly and land the jets safely, our main focus is learning how to employ the weapons that it's capable of employing: the bombs, the missiles, what have you.
What makes the Harrier special is the fact that it is V-stall aircraft; it can take off and land vertically. It's the only jet as of now in the world that can do that. We don't even need airfields. We're the only ones that are gonna be able to land on a highway and safely load up, refuel and take back off. The Harrier is unique in that our number one mission is close air support. We have the ability to drop our ordnance, drop our bombs in very close proximity to where we want them to be, within I'm talking feet, which is great for us and the Marines on the ground because a lot of times we're dropping ordnance in close proximity to our friendlies-to the Marines on the ground.
Being a pilot, there's a lot expected of you. And when we're being critiqued in our debriefs, we're looking at absolutely everything: our airspeeds, our altitudes-we have to be on exact parameters. If we're releasing bombs, let's say, we're looking at the point I released the bomb, and am I at the right altitude, the right airspeed, is my dive correct. In the Marine Corps, you're a Marine first, then you're an aviator. We all go through The Basic School, we all become riflemen and that's something that ties us together. We're all pilots but we're Marines first. There has never been one day where I have not been excited about going to work and that's something I'd say most people cannot say about their jobs.

Feckle Prime was a world mentioned in a scene cut from "Ferengi Love Songs". The planet only appeared in the script of the episode. [1]
In the scene, Leck asks his Grand Nagus if he should invest in gouge mining on Feckle Prime, or tulaberry vineyards on Seppus III. Grand Nagus Zek answers that a year ago he would have advised gouge mining, but that he's unsure how much gouging Feckle Prime can take.

BenQ MW519 Projector Review
One of the new projectors to come from BenQ is the MW519. This device features 2800 ANSI lumens, a 13000:1 contrast ratio, and WXGA (1280 x 800) resolution. Today, the writers from PC Magazine released their review of this particular device. The writers were very impressed by the projector's image quality, especially while using the HDMI port. The new Eco mode is probably the best feature though due to its ability to reduce energy consumption and extend the lamp life. The projector is not perfect however as the writer noted some rainbow effect problems and the audio was below average. But in the end the writers concluded by stating, "The BenQ MW519 is a likable projector for classroom use, with good data image quality, especially over an HDMI connection, and power-saving features that can extend lamp life. It's bright enough for use in mid-sized rooms, although its audio is faint. It is 3D capable, but outfitting an entire class with 3D glasses might prove a tough sell to the school administrators. It's best for use mostly with data presentations; there are better choices if video and audio quality are priorities."

Hey guys. My friend called me and said he needed a motion light outside his house. He tapped into an existing receptacle in his attic to power the light. This receptacle happened to be part of the the GFCI circuit serving the kitchen countertop outlets. When he first connected the motion light, he said it tripped the circuit breaker and the GFCI receptacle. After turning the power back on he said he was only having trouble with the GFCI tripping. The circuit breaker tripping tells me that maybe he shorted the hot wire to ground while installing it because it does not trip now. The GFCI tripping i think would mean somewhere the neutral is touching the ground. Everything works normal when he installed a non GFCI receptacle just to test it. Assuming all wiring is correct and free of contact with other wires, could putting a "motion light" on a GFCI circuit cause the GFCI to trip?
No. It's also a code violation to add anything other than kitchen outlets to the kitchen small appliance circuits.
What he said. Your friend should run a new circuit, or run it off of some other circuit. The kitchen circuit's supposed to be dedicated.

I can't get the desired restylane result to last for more than 2 weeks?
A few months ago I got 1 ml. Restylane in my nose, due to a "bump" on my nose bridge, which I wanted to camouflage. It turned out fine, but already after 1 week it flattened out/much of the volume disappear, and my "bump" was visible again. Then I went back 2 times to get a touch up, but the same thing has happened every time! My doctor said, after the 2 touch ups, that there wasn't much to do about it, but I just think it seems odd - because why you can't you get the desired volume to last longer?
Doctor Answers 2
Restylane can be injected into a "bump" on the nose. If it is disappearing from the area repeatedly then it is time to consult with another dermatologist to see what would be an alternative course of treatment.
Web reference: http://www.michelegreenmd.com/restylane
A wise surgeon once told me that you can't do the same thing over and over expecting different results. I think it is unlikely that restylane is the answer to your problem. If a bump truly is the only thing that bothers you, there are fairly simple surgical options to address that. I think it is worth consideration to speak with someone about that.

PA Lawmaker Works to Prevent Future Shootings
WASHINGTON DC (WENY)- As the victims from the most recent shooting in Fort Hood are laid to rest, the conversation continues on Capitol Hill about how to prevent a tragedy like this from happening again.
"We do a great physical evaluation, medical evaluation when you join the service, but we don't do a mental health screening or evaluation," says Rep. Glenn Thompson of Pennsylvania.
The lawmaker introduced the MEPS, or Medical Evaluation Parity for Service Members Act.
"What the MEPS Act is designed to do is to keep people safe, and keep people well. It provides a requirement for a mental health evaluation at the time of enlistment into the service."
The bill was introduced six days before the most recent Ft. Hood shooting. Thompson says it needs to be discussed and passed. Even though it couldn't prevent the most recent tragedy - it could prevent similar shootings in the future.
"As a country we really have failed when it comes to doing the right things for folks who are suffering from these chronic conditions." Thompson says the mental health screenings will allow the government to catch and treat any problems someone is having before they serve. Something, Thompson says, we owe to our military members.
"We have an obligation to take care of the men and women who protect and take care of us in the service of this country."
Congressman Thompson's bill is getting a lot of support in the House - But it doesn't stop there. The MEPS Act was recently introduced in the Senate as has seen bi-partisan support in that chamber, too.

Agelaius phoeniceus
Red-winged Blackbird
- Order: Passeriformes
- Family: Icteridae
The Red-winged Blackbird is by far one of the most well-known of North American birds. To many in the north and east, it is a classic harbinger of spring. When the Red-winged Blackbirds arrive at the local marsh, you know that the snow is about to disappear. Apart from its familiarity to birdwatchers, it is also a well studied bird in terms of its behavior, nesting and ecology. Red-winged Blackbirds are often polygynous, each male having more than one mate. This species was instrumental in the development of the "Polygyny Threshold Model" which seeks to explain when a female should choose to become involved in a polygynous mating relationship with a male. Red-winged Blackbirds have also been studied to understand the role of plumage in mate acquisition, through experiments where the bright red shoulders of males were painted black to see if this affected their ability to attract mates. More than any other single New World species, the Red-winged Blackbird has been an outstandingly important species in the science of Behavioral Ecology. Much remains to be understood about this bird, least of which is its taxonomy with rather different appearing populations in California and central Mexico that may be incipient species.
