I woke to distant gunfire and shouting; not panic, but intensity. My hand brushed against my very fluffy, very small dog, nestled by my side and sleeping soundly, and I opened my eyes to find my husband engrossed in the Iwo Jima episode of The Pacific.
It was terrifying.
We watched the battle unfold together. The Marines charged across a hilly field toward the Japanese fortifications against a backdrop of what would otherwise be a beautiful beach. It seemed dozens of men died every moment, mowed down mercilessly, stumbling and hitting the ground hard and bloody; these were not the elegant deaths of Hollywood.
With their friends cut down beside them every second, they charged on, unable to stop and reflect on the loss of life. There was no time for fear. There was no time for hesitation. There was only, presumably, adrenaline and orders.
Iwo Jima was part of Operation Detachment and it is the only battle where the number of American casualties exceeded Japanese casualties. Japanese deaths, however, numbered three times the American deaths; 6,800 Americans died fighting for the Island and its three valuable airstrips over a month-long period.
Three thousand Japanese soldiers who survived Iwo Jima hid in the network of underground tunnels on the Island instead of surrendering because their leadership taught them to fear the Americans as ruthless animals. Those who lacked the will to commit suicide and instead surrendered were surprised to discover the kindness of their American counterparts, once willing to fight to the death, but now offering water, coffee and cigarettes.
Of the roughly 22,000 Japanese soldiers on Iwo Jima, it was originally thought that only 216 survived the American assault.
My husband and I don't watch much television. In fact, I think my mother is the only mom in America who regularly says, "you really need to be watching more TV." But if you haven't seen The Pacific, or its outstanding Europe-based counterpart, Band of Brothers, you may not appreciate the degree to which each and every one of us owe our very lives to the men who fought for our right to live free or die.
In Europe and in the Pacific, these men survived under deplorable conditions yet ultimately emerged victorious. In Bastogne and the Ardennes, in Holland, in the Philippines, in Okinawa, on Omaha Beach, so many died.
But so many returned home, to lives filled with average jobs, average wives, average lives, perfectly willing to trade glory on the battlefield for a quieter existence, hopefully filled with peace and love.
It's to these men that we must never forget our debt, a debt that can never be fully repaid except through remembrance. Please, please don't another day pass without taking the time to remember our veterans and their commitment to the American way.
Read about a battle. Watch the History Channel. Visit your elderly neighbor. The next time you are waiting impatiently for the older gentleman in front of you to move along, consider that he may be one of these "average" heroes. Does he still think of the battles he fought in which his friends, more like family, died?
I remember watching an interview with a soldier who fought in the Ardennes. He was in his 70s. He said, "There isn't a night that goes by that I don't thank God I'm not in Bastogne."
Remember well, and be thankful this Thanksgiving for the average heroes among us who live quiet, and exceptional, lives.

Ohio Investigative Unit agents seized more than 5,700 packages of synthetic cannabinoids and $51,000 cash from a Toledo convenient store after executing a search warrant at the premise last week.
Synthetic cannabinoids are known to cause comas, overdoses and even deaths.
Neighbors say they're glad these dangerous drugs have been seized.
"That stuff right there will mess up your brain. It will take you to a whole 'nother level," said Jaceppi McNeal.
Agents have been investigating Omar of Ohio, Inc., also known as Airport Stop on 3326 Airport Highway, since late summer after receiving complaints of possible drug violations taking place at the liquor permit premise. People who live nearby say they had no clue the employees were selling more than groceries and lottery tickets.
"They had no idea this was coming," said Agent Raymond Rodriguez with the Ohio Investigative Unit. "It feels good to get this stuff off the streets, get out of people's hands, because it's dangerous. They have dangerous effects on people. So knowing that we're helping make the city of Toledo safer, it's a pretty good - is a real good feeling."
The liquor permit was cited with five counts each of drug possession and drug paraphernalia possession; four counts of drug sales; and three counts of drug paraphernalia sales.
Possible criminal charges will be presented to the Lucas County Prosecutor's Office for consideration.
Administrative charges will be presented to the Ohio Liquor Control Commission for their consideration, as well. The commission has the authority to issue penalties against the liquor permit, including possible fines, suspensions or revocation.
However, it could be a while before charges are filed because all the evidence still needs to be analyzed. It then could be months before anyone faces a judge.

Flat out LOVE this Tweet rant Jay Bilas put together the other day. Hey NCAA! Do you like apples? And the best part of it is that Jay Bilas should be Mr. NCAA. Guy makes a living analyzing NCAA sports. If it weren't for NCAA basketball he'd be just another goofy white guy from Duke whose life ended after his 8th year of eligibility (stand up Cherokee Parks!). But Jay is clearly out of fudges (only I didn't say fudge) here.
And I know we've been over this before but he couldn't be more right. The NCAA is without question the most hypocritical organization on the planet. MLB and their stance on steroids is a close second. Just making BANK on jersey sales, ticket sales, TV deals and
video games*. We're talking BILLIONS with a 'B' on these kids. Then when Johnny Football signs a few autographs and maybe makes a few bucks they want suspend him or kick him out of Texas A&M. And when people defend these players they always fall back on 'well they're getting a free education!' Pffft. First of all a free education to a guy who is going to the NFL next year is about as valuable as my Packer's stock. And second of all even if a player isn't going to make millions in the NFL, that free degree doesn't necessarily guarantee anything. I've got an NCAA education (UWSP, ever heard of it?) and the line between 'internet blogger' and 'homeless' is razor thin. So not allowing these athletes (who are legal adults mind you) to cash in while they can is borderline Un-American. This isn't Russia Danny is this Russia? This isn't Russia.
*How long do you think the line will be of former athletes who EA Sports and the NCAA 'used' in their video games will be now that EA lost their lawsuit. I'm picturing the end scene of cars from Field of Dreams times infinity.

Comments about Paula Young Amanda Wig by Joan Collins:
This wig is much prettier than shown in the picture. The hair is very soft and natural-looking. It's also a lot longer than it looks in the photo. I bought it in Wheat Haze, which is a very pretty blonde shade.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Men's Socks
Product Selection
Find the Right Pair of Men's Athletic Socks
The right pair of men's socks help you make the most of your game. Browse top brands to find your perfect pair, like Nike®, Under Armour®, Reebok® and adidas®.
From the gridiron to the basketball court, shop sport-specific men's socks designed to amplify the fit of your athletic footwear. Choose from crew socks, low-cut, no-show socks or the extra coverage of over-the-calf socks in a variety of colors and designs. Athletic socks are designed with performance fibers that keep out moisture and promote proper air flow.
Take on any condition in feather-light cotton knit socks or the thermal warmth of a wool socks for men.
Buying Tips
Blisters and irritation never hold you back in the right pair of socks. Look for sock features that deliver comfort and performance. Socks with an anatomical right and left fit provide a natural-feeling ergonomic fit, while a contoured EVA footbed delivers lightweight comfort and cushion. Consider men's socks with seamless toe area and light Achilles tab, which works to keep your sock in place and prevent painful rubbing.
An engineered sock footbed delivers added arch support, alleviating pressure on the ball and heel of the foot. The right pair of socks is essential for runners — look for a pair of socks designed with thin padding that matches the foot's natural strike pattern. Ventilated tops keep your socks cool and breathable.
Compression socks for men work to support your foot muscles and reduce fatigue post-training. These socks are designed for a second-skin, custom-like fit in your shoe.
Expert Advice
Moisture management is a must for athletic socks. Look for socks designed with moisture-wicking technology, which pulls perspiration from the foot and keeps you comfortable on the move.

Which is kinda my point...
I swear like a truckie. I won't touch the 'c-word' with gloves on and my gutter language is more of a sprinkle than a flood in my every day chatter, but I have been known to come out with statements like 'For fuck's sake, it's all just mutha fucking fucked'* during a work meeting.
You wouldn't know this about me because I don't like to swear when I'm writing. I struggle to even write 'oh my god' or 'dear lord' in case someone finds it offensive, even though I use those two expressions pretty much daily. Of course this makes me question my lacksidaisical approach to swearing in the first place, but one thing I know for certain:
It just seems to mean more when it's written down.
Take that Cee Loo Green song. You have the 'Forget You' version and then you have the 'Fuck You' version and frankly I prefer the former. Is it really necessary to have the latter? I don't think saying 'fuck' rather than 'forget' adds a single thing to the song.
I'm kind of with the censors on that one.
I get that it's 'just a word'. But I just think that whether we're dribbling f-bombs in everyday conversation or not, we really don't need to have it gilded forevermore in written expression. I think swearing is best left for chit chat (and I totally understand why some people would like it erased even there). It's just not as effective (or, on occasion, as funny) in writing. Surely when we're writing we have more time to craft a heartfelt statement that doesn't require offensive language? Surely?
* Just so you know, it is actually physically paining me to write the word fuck, but I'm not hypocritical enough to say 'f-word' or 'fark' during this post as I usually might in a post...

The Luther women's tennis team grabbed its second straight shutout and third straight victory, dispatching Elmhurst by a 9-0 count on Wednesday, March 27 in Orlando, Florida. All nine Norse players saw action for the second straight match.
The match kicked off with singles play and the Norse won all six matches in straight sets, only dropping a total of 14 games over 12 sets. Lola White-Baer won (6-0, 6-0) over Nicole Darga at No. 2 while Adriana DePaolis did the same against Ragan Wilson at No. 4. Annie Whiteley was a (6-1, 6-0) winner over Lauren Kuehn at No. 3, and Olivia Heitz beat Jennifer Guenther (6-2, 6-1) at No. 6. Elise Allen picked up her second straight victory at No. 1, knocking off Annie Duggan (6-2, 6-3). Megan Wachholz beat Brittany Kuehn (6-2, 6-3) at No. 5.
Luther used two new doubles teams at No. 2 and No. 3 and both came away with lopsided victories. Maggie Helms and Hailey Johnson ran through Brittany Kuehn and Alexis Adams at No. 2, winning (8-0). DePaolis and Wachholz were (8-3) winners against Wilson and Lauren Kuehn at No. 3. Katy Lindstrom and Whiteley continued their strong play, pulling out a (9-7) victory at No. 1, defeating Annie Duggan and Nicole Darga to give Luther another 9-0 win.

Rated 5 out of 5Â by fitbit Awesome shoe, runs one size larger than normal Im really picky when it comes to shoes. i not only look for comfort, but also aesthetic appeal of the product. these pups have you covered. I did, however, have to return the first pair i bought because they were too big. Now, I own three other pairs of reebok, so i was confident i would again need a 9. Wrong, when i received the first pair, I could stick my entire thumb in the back. it was about 1/2 inch too big. i did however go a whole size down (apparently it's 1/4 of an inch per half size) and now they are perfect. Can't wait to put these to the test and see how long they last me! 6/27/14
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Hyunsu Gooooooooood I Fully satisfied. Comfortable and beautiful. Goooood Gooooood Goooooood 8/12/14
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Mannygoalie Excellent shoe - careful with size selection Very good shoe, comfortable and well made. Just be careful with sizing if ordering online. I was able to try them at the store and they are 1full size off, what I mean is I'm a lifetime rebook consumer and I wear my shoes snug, I'm always a size 10.5us however in these shoes to get the same fit I had to purchase a 9.5us. I've seen other reviews with similar comments,. I have a wide foot and they fit well if you don't like your shoes loose. 11/17/13
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Paul65 shoe string problem The shoestrings are one piece with a slider on it. It is not tight and difficult to work in the dark. Bring back laces. 8/7/14
Rated 4 out of 5Â by Peedumms New to the shoe This shoe out of the box is very comfortable. The gortex makes this shoe ideal for walking in soggy Washington. I do find my feet sweating a little faster in these shoes. Most likely due to the gortex. The tread pattern in the bottom is also nice for hiking. The shoe is surprisingly light as well. The only negative I have so far is the lace system. They are quick on and off but, I'm a fan of laces instead of the draw string style. I find that with extensive walking and training, they have to be re tightened every so often. Other than that, great shoe so far. 4/7/14
Rated 5 out of 5Â by PavelH Looks great, fits right It fits exactly right, very comfortable. Seems like durable construction with great looks. I used them in my fitness workouts in the club for several weeks, 3-4 times a week, they still look like new. Really happy with this purchase. 7/15/14
Rated 5 out of 5Â by pooti product looks great These shoes look great and feel very good; however, I only wore them once. I have a wide foot and they are a little bit tight, but they are brand new, and I fully expect them to loosen up to the point of being very comfortable; the way they are made leads me to believe that they will be durable also. I was told this is a new shoe, so I was unable to view any comments. I hope someone can benefit from my input. I have the excellent red/orange..etc., and they are, as I wanted, flashy. 10/9/13
Rated 5 out of 5Â by mikes67 Excellent buy Before ordering this shoe I read reviews on it, most indicated it ran at least a 1/2 size small. This was not what I experienced, I ordered a 1/2 size small and found the shoe to fit true to size. Sent the shoes back and ordered my normal size and fits great. The transaction was very easy and fast. Very nice shoes. 4/6/14
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Spiderherman Super comfy & waterproof sneakers! Unique find!!!! 4/28/14
Rated 5 out of 5Â by v11ncent Great product by reebok Runs large...example if your size 8 purchase 7. Other than that this product is far the best outdoor shoe I have for trailrunning, or on the diamond . L 3/19/14

The main goalof Access Nashville is to gather information about "accessibility-friendly" restaurants, entertainment attractions, and transportation services allowing customers to make informed choices about where to go in Nashville, Tennessee. This information will be linked to the Nashville Convention and Visitors Bureau website by geographic location and on their "Accessible Nashville" page. Another goal is to inform and educate the public at large about the importance of accessibility.
Even if the parking lot is full, it is Not OK to park in the handicap space or access lane.
Send us your pictures of vehicles parked illegally in handicap spaces and we'll post them.
Access Nashville educates:
- Consumers about local area restaurants- Access Nashville provides accessibility-friendly information about restaurants in the Nashville area so that customers who use wheelchairs and/or have other disabilities can make informed choices.
- College students about disability and access– As a hands-on service learning project for Vanderbilt University and other local colleges, student volunteers receive disability awareness and accessibility training with hands-on experience in the community through volunteerism and social action.
- Restaurant managers about disability and access– Many restaurant managers and staff learn about accessibility and gain an awareness of disability issues through participation. Access Nashville encourages all restaurants to be accessible and provides special certificates to those restaurants that are "accessibility-friendly." Access Nashville also offers free training and technical assistance to restaurants receiving a "Limited Access" rating through the Nashville Convention and Visitors Bureau and Center for Independent Living of Middle Tennessee, coalition partners.
Although related to the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requirements, the goal of Access Nashville is focused on gathering accessibility information and does not intend to assess compliance with the accessibility requirements of the ADA.

Ives said the City Council and city staff have worked for "over a year" with representatives of Amazon.com Inc. and industrial developer Prologis to bring the Seattle-based Internet retailer to Tracy.
"We have worked heaven and earth for this," Ives said.
Though he did not have a firm timeline for groundbreaking,
Ives estimated that within a year Amazon would bring 1,000 jobs to the city's Northeast Industrial Area, a section of northeastern Tracy specifically dedicated to industrial development. Ives said the planned facility would likely be an automated distribution center with a robotics element.
"The pay scale is higher than at a standard distribution center," he said.
Ives also said the city would benefit from a boost in sales tax.
Amazon has estimated a "low end" of $100 million in point-of-sales business annually at the proposed Tracy center, according to Ives.
Though he did not specifically mention Amazon, Tracy Finance Director Zane Johnston said Wednesday, Nov. 21, that Tracy would see about $1 million in sales taxes from a company with $100 million in sales.
However, he said the city's half-cent Measure E sales tax would not apply to purchases through a fulfillment center such as those Amazon operates — except for purchases made by people within Tracy city limits.
Johnston noted that the city's initial tax share from such a company could be lower, because of a policy passed in December that allows Tracy to offer a temporary sales tax rebate as a financial incentive to new employers that create more than 1,000 jobs.
"The exact dollar amount remains to be seen, and that's talking about any entity … based on the policy we have," Johnston said.
Ives said sales tax money from a potential Amazon fulfillment center would be funneled into the city's deficit-saddled general fund and could help the city provide services to residents, such as police and fire protection.
Though the agreement with Tracy was not confirmed by Amazon officials, who did not respond to a Wednesday, Nov. 21, request for comment as of press time, Ives said an announcement could be made as early as Monday, Nov. 26.
Ives said he had not signed a nondisclosure agreement regarding the negotiations, although City Manager Leon Churchill, Development and Engineering Services Director Andrew Malik and other staff members did so. Churchill refused to make any comment regarding the matter.
Ives said he and others at the city had been careful to not leak information that might damage the project's prospects.
But while City Hall remained silent concerning Amazon, Ives insisted city staff members were not inactive.
At least two council decisions in the past 12 months, he confirmed, are linked to the anticipated Amazon center.
On May 4, the City Council gave Prologis the unanimous go-ahead to construct three new buildings totaling about 1 million square feet south of Grant Line Road off Paradise Road.
On Dec. 21, 2011, the council called a special meeting to unanimously approve giving companies with local gross annual sales of $100 million or more a temporary break on sales tax. At the time, Malik said the council decision would help Tracy create more local jobs.
In May, Amazon announced it would place a separate distribution and fulfillment center in Patterson, about 20 miles southeast of Tracy. That outpost, like the anticipated center in Tracy, will take up about 1 million square feet of building space and will employ about 1,500 people, according to city of Patterson estimates.

Abraham Pearson was to be arraigned in court Wednesday, but due to extensive power outages around downtown Detroit, his arraignment has been postponed until Thursday.Meanwhile, his lawyer is laying the groundwork for an insanity defense.James Howarth has represented Pearson from the beginning on those initial carjacking and armed robbery charges. Pearson was scheduled to be sentenced for those charges on Monday when he authorities say he stabbed a sheriff's deputy and escaped from a holding cell, prompting a near 15-hour manhunt. However, Howarth thinks there's an explanation behind Pearson's alleged actions. He says Pearson doesn't even recognize him anymore. "He had a vacant look on his face, and I tried to talk to him to make sure he knew I was there. He could not communicate with me. He had a history of psychiatric problems," Howarth explains. Pearson is back behind bars now after police found him walking along I-94 and Mt. Elliot late Monday night thanks to a 911tip. Fox 2's Maurielle Lue obtained the surveillance video of Pearson's last few minutes of freedom. VIDEO: Surveillance video of Pearson inside a liquor store moments before his arrestPearson approached a man in the parking lot of the Van Dyke Liquor Store on Detroit's east side. The video shows Pearson asking for directions to the west side of the city. Pearson told the man he was 'the one who got away.' The man gives Pearson directions and then they shake hands and Pearson walks away. That man was the one who then called 911 and tipped off police to Pearson's location.

I confess that I have GREAT news from Mia's daycare!
Mia's been having trouble with one teacher for a while. She adores most of her teachers, but with this one woman, she cries when I drop her off and generally seems sad and anxious around her. We talked to the director about it a month or two ago and she said that they would counsel her. I've been on the verge of pulling Mia out, but hesitant to do so because she's generally happy there.
Aaaaanyway... mean teacher is LEAVING. She's 7 months pregnant and I didn't even realise.
I'm so relieved.

CARE Video Projects
The CARE program is fortunate to be able to carry on a number of extra activities this year, thanks to a special grant award from the National Endowment for the Arts. One of our favorite projects as part of this grant is to produce four videos about the collections of the CARE arts partners. The purpose of the videos, which feature two students as the hosts, is to be a teaching tool in the classroom for introducing many more students and teachers to the artwork and objects we use on a regular basis through our exhibitions, performances, and other educational programs.
Reflections on Arts Education and the CARE Program
When I used to teach, my favorite moments were wrapped up in an energetic silence—those times when you knew a student was "working it out" in her head. Now that I am an education researcher, I have shifted from teaching into empirically investigating these moments. What exactly is happening to students' thinking when they are exposed to the arts and how can we recognize it when it happens?
The major question we have been asking through the CARE program is how the arts promote critical thinking. Like many others interested in this issue (See: Critical Links: Learning in the Arts and Student Academic and Social Development, for a good compendia of existing research), we have looked at indicators of critical thinking, such as, making robust observations, forming hypothesis about what is going on in a work of art, providing reasoning based on evidence, and handling multiple interpretations…and the results have been significant. For you stats geeks like me who are reading this, we're finding p-values at less than .01 on a majority of the indicators.

Starter Supplemental Nursing System™ (SNS) | Medela#!Reviews based on 0 ratings. 0 reviews.
I am very thankful for this little kit. This is what allowed me to breastfeed my daughter. I had a c-section, and my milk didn't come in until my baby was 6 days old. The nursing staff kept pressuring me (very heavily) to give her a bottle of formula. I refused the bottle because I felt that it would compromise, if not completely ruin, my ability to breastfeed. This little kit was the answer. It created a win-win situation for everyone. My baby was able to receive the nourishment she needed until my milk came in; by having her latch and nurse naturally at the breast, my body was receiving the signals it needed for milk production; and the staff was satisfied with the compromise. There was no need for me to give her a bottle, and then pump every 3 hours to stimulate production. (What a nuisance that would be for a recovering mother!) My baby, while nursing with the SNS starter kit, was able to stimulate my milk production naturally. There was never a worry about nipple confusion either, since she didn't have a bottle. It was the perfect solution. By the time my milk came in, she was nursing very well and we were set up for success. I must add that I had to ASK for this kit at the hospital. I was seeing the lactation consultant and she never offered it. Finally, I asked for the kit and then she brought it to me. (I had seen this kit years before, so I knew something like this existed.) Once we tried it, everything came together! I only gave it 4 stars simply because it is sort of cumbersome to handle. My husband had to help me because it was hard to hold the baby, my breast, and the tubing/kit at the same time. However, I didn't mind the difficulty after the wonderful outcome. I am now ordering a few kits to send to my sister in North Dakota, since they do not have them there. (Her hospital doesn't carry them and her lactation consultant didn't have any.) I wish that these were more widely available and offered more often to mothers that are really trying to give breastfeeding their very best effort. In my opinion, this kit was the difference between failure and success! Also, I did not discard my kit after 24 hours. I used 2 kits within that week. I just washed and used it for 2-3 days, and it worked fine.
Hello, I am a hospital based Lactation Consultant. I would like to get more information about why the starter sns needs to be discarded after only 24 hours. I would like to use these for inpatient breastfeeding mothers who need to supplement, but it is hard to justify finances if it is only good for 24 hours. I would suggest a starter product like this should be manufactured to be able to be used for at least 7 days, at the very minimum, at least 4-5 days since C-section mothers stay in hospital for that length. If I started a C-section mother on this system, I would need to use 3-4 of these kits just for the time she is in the hospital. For a vaginal mother, it could be 2 kits. I think mothers need some time to see if this supplementing at the breast system works for them before they commit to making the purchase of the SNS itself. I know I've read about this issue on Lactnet as well. I have called Medela in the past and I was given the 24 hour time frame due to the 'type of plastic' it is made from. I would really appreciate more info.

Louis Leterrier, director of Clash of the Titans, came clean to the Huffington Post and admitted that making Titans into a 3-D feature was an awful idea and it turned out even worse.
I love that he admits that it was just a cash grab and audiences were getting ripped off. The movie made a ton of money but the 3-D was horrible. I am not a fan of 3-D but I fell for the trap that was laid out in front of me. Half of the time the characters heads looked like they were hovering above their bodies. The movie looked awful.
Movie studios go with 3-D so often, in my opinion, just to hike up prices and make more money. It is often times just a poorly executed gimmick. The product ultimately suffers and hurts the overall movie going experience. Leterrier and other directors, J.J. Abrams for example, are powerless when trying to convince studios that 3-D is not the way to go but at least they are making their opinions known to anyone that cares to listen.

As a contracting officer, it is important for you to understand how to apply the requirements of the HUBZone Program to help certified HUBZone small businesses receive their fair share of contracting opportunities.
To review the basics of the program's requirements, visit the HUBZone website. Use this link to identify HUBZone certified firms as part of your market research: Search HUBZone Small Business Concerns at DSBS. You can read more about the HUBZone certified small business list in this FAQ section.
Types of HUBZone Contracts
As the contracting officer, you will be responsible for determining what type of HUBZone contracting opportunity to conduct.
- A competitive HUBZone set-aside contract can be awarded if the contracting officer has a reasonable expectation that at least two responsible HUBZone small businesses will submit offers and that the resulting contract can be awarded at a fair market price.
- A sole source HUBZone contract can be awarded if the contracting officer does not have a reasonable expectation that two or more qualified HUBZone small businesses will submit offers, determines that the qualified HUBZone small business is responsible, and determines that the contract can be awarded at a fair price. The government estimate cannot exceed $5.5 million for manufacturing requirements or $3.5 million for all other requirements.
- A full and open competition contract can be awarded with a price evaluation preference. The offer of the HUBZone small business will be considered lower than the offer of a non-HUBZone/non-small business-providing that the offer of the HUBZone small business is not more than 10 percent higher.
As a contracting officer, you have specific responsibilities during a protest. Learn about what happens during a HUBZone status protest here.

A bad economy and my mother-in-law (I like her) deciding to visit during WFO made my decision for me. Hope it works out for attendees.
My MIL gets just the oposite response from me. Sorry you can't make it.
To tell the truth it is my wife's potential reaction to my leaving during MIL's visit that helps keep me here. LOL
Sorry I can't come too.
I will write you a note. "Please excuse Mike from domestic duties so he can attend to important things like telling lies, drinking, telling more lies and general foolishness". We will get Hal to sign it.

Herbal Tea
Herbal teas are not actually true teas as they contain none of the Camellia sinensis leaf. Instead, herbal teas often include leaves, flowers, roots, peels, berries and spices.
Did You Know?
Orange blossoms and brides have been associated throughout history, from the classical myth of Juno, Roman goddess of marriage, who carried orange blossoms on her wedding day, to the 19th-century fashion of weaving the scented flowers into wreaths for brides to wear in their hair.


text: Some local community leaders say they are outraged over the charges against the educators indicted in the Atlanta Public Schools cheating scandal, and gathered outside the Fulton County Jail to defend them on Tuesday.A former judge, an attorney and about a dozen clergy members of the group Concerned Black Clergy described the indictments against the educators in the APS scandal as outrageous. They said the charges and high bonds are excessive, calling them "overkill" and a slap in the face to educators charged in the case.FOX 5's Portia Bruner asked Reverend Timothy McDaniel that if a crime has been committed, "and you are acknowledging if that has happened, and if there is evidence suggesting that a crime has been committed, you are suggesting that there should not be punishment for that?""It is not criminal. Yes, there was misconduct! Yes, there was wrong-doing! But let's not try to kill a gnat in with a sledge hammer. There could be restitution. For some of these other teachers, I mean there are other ways they could be suspended for two or three years. They could have their license revoked. Jail time is not going solve this problem about children not being able to read and write," answered McDaniel.They say that all of those indicted should be allowed to walk out on signature bonds, and questioned why they're even being held in the jail in the first place.The group leveled accusations of racism by high ranking officials and they insisted Fulton County District Attorney Paul Howard is turning teachers into criminals.

I also started my new job this week. We had our pre-opening party Friday which went really well and we are officially open for business on Wednesday!
I've been eating a lot of raw food and eating out of my freezer. I haven't been taking a lot of pics though. The above food was a delicious wasabi daikon and cabbage slaw. I just can't get enough daikon.
Raw Eggless Salad
3 c cauliflower, pulsed in food processor
½ c sunflower seeds soaked for 4 hours, drained then pulsed in food processor
1 c diced celery
1 c shredded carrots
½ c scallions or 2 T diced red onion or shallot
½ c nutritional yeast
2 t dried sage
1 T dried dill
1 T dried parsley
½ t garlic powder
¼ t turmeric
4 T tahini
4 T yellow mustard
2 T Dijon mustard
4 T relish
1 T chia seeds
1 t black salt (or sea salt)
½ -1 t black pepper
½ c water
Pulse the cauliflower in processor and set aside in large mixing bowl. Pulse the sunflower seeds, and add to the cauliflower. Add the celery, carrots and scallions and nutritional
yeast and spices (not the salt or pepper).
In a small bowl add the tahini, mustard, relish, chia seeds, salt and pepper along with ½ c water. Whisk well and pour over the veggies. Taste and adjust seasonings. Allow
mixture to chill for an hour before serving.
This actually keeps for around 3 days and does not get watery because of the chia seeds.
The corn tortilla is a recipe I'm still playing around with. It's ALMOST to my liking. I don't like most raw breads or crackers very much. I feel like they get a strange taste from the dehydrator. The first bite or two are fine, but then they start tasting kind of gross to me. Am I the only one who feels this way?
God, I am just IN LOVE with grapefruit.
On Monday, I did a mini fast like thing. I drank 2 quarts of green juice and ate only fruit and veggies (with NO SALT ADDED AT ALL). I am going to try to do this once a week.
Hope everyone is having a good week! I'll try to visit your blogs!

I would love to get to spend some time with Dick Jones' uncle Evander Pritchart. You talk about a fellow who could turn an ordinary outdoor adventure into one that will stick with you for a lifetime, uncle Evander could do it.
So you're scratching your head and wondering who is Dick Jones and who the heck is his uncle Evander Pritchart. I'll tell you but you'll have to read the book to really find out.


text: Hateship Loveship stars Kristen Wiig, Hailee Steinfeld, Nick Nolte and Guy Pearce. Three out of four ain't bad. Okay, before all of you Super Steinfeld fans freak out, I'm referring to Wiig as the odd one out. She can be good, in small doses, but I find myself being annoyed with her shtick most of the time. I thought Bridesmaids was really good and very funny, but it had nothing to do with her. Pearce has been excellent in many films (L.A. Confidential, Ravenous and Memento to name a few). The trailer has me intrigued, for sure.

Alison is almost 6weeks old now, although adjusted she should be just in her first week (her due date was 5/25). I'm wondering when she might start having more awake time. I've got her on a pretty good schedule I think. She eats about every three to three and half hours and eats about 3oz although I think I am going to start increasing her to 4oz because she seems to still be hungry on occasion after eating. But generally, she eats, then falls right to sleep. She has about one or two periods during the day and evening when she is awake for about an hour or so, but that is it. The pedi said we should start tummy time, but she's never awake to do it!
She's waking up about once at night to eat, but then some nights she is up a few times just fussing and wanting to be held...I am still hoping she'll start to sleep for more than three hours soon!
