24 July - 23 August
Mixing business with pleasure now is forecast to produce problems as the Moon is transiting in square to Jupiter. These two places in your horoscope relate to finance, income and profits. Loaning or borrowing is most certainly a no no and you should make it clear to those who expect financial favors that that is not at all on the table. Youll be tempted to try something very different right now, especially if you become a little tired of the day-by-day routine. Dare to be different and explore whats on offer. You can certainly mix business and pleasure today.  The opportunities are boundless.  Introductions bolster your ego and give you a taste of how the other half live.
24 August - 23 September
You may be landed with additional tasks at work and this is going to stretch you to the limit. Rather than seeing this as a negative, you can step up and prove that you are more than capable of managing crisis. The Moon in Gemini today highlights your multitasking capabilities. Curb your impatience today as things may not go as quickly as you would like them to. Use your intuition to make a decision that is slow in providing you satisfaction. It is a paradoxical day today. Your work, beliefs and systems will be changing for the better, but someone may take a swipe at you.
24 September - 23 October
You may receive an email or some other communication that is unsettling, especially if it relates to some aspect of your work or what youre likely to be paid. This can result in disputes as shown by the hard aspect of Mercury and Mars in your horoscope. You need to step outside the square and deal with the situation in ways you normally wouldnt. Keeping others off-guard gives you a distinct advantage at the moment. Try not to overlook an appointment today. You could completely forget some significant details that could make you look bad, or, worse still, cause you to lose money. Even if you theoretically feel inferior to some of your peers that may not necessarily be the truth. Your life is determined by your thinking process and your self-talk.
24 October - 22 November
The unexpected can happen in your work now that Uranus and Saturn are auspiciously influencing your tenth house of profession along with Venus and the Sun. Obstacles can be surmounted now and the people you need to get the job done will arrive just in time. Its time to stop worrying and start moving forward with plans as projected. A constraint may make it hard for you to work in your normal fashion. But necessity is the mother of invention, and you may do some brilliant work under these circumstances. You may find it hard to complete some assignment or study curriculum. Too many other distractions will be the cause of this. Don't force the issue; recommence the work when you are feeling more settled.
23 November - 22 December
Youre in two minds about your relationship-and this may relate to some engagement where you may not necessarily want to socialize with your partner. Be careful how you handle this as it can be taken in the wrong way. The Moon in Gemini in the seventh house of your horoscope indicates your partner may be changeable and unamenable to your plans. Someone's envy could be obstructing you from diversifying your ideas. It's best to keep your cards close to your chest. You may be better off financially than some of your friends, but that is no reason for someone to keep borrowing from you.
23 December - 20 January
Take care of health matters today particularly those which relate to your respiratory tract. The Moon in your sixth house in Gemini indicates that there could be some fleeting issues physically. On a domestic note, the influence of Mercury, Venus and Uranus on your family affairs means that things will change suddenly so you need to maintain emotional composure to manage everyone in the loop. You can be a strong representative for your side, especially if you are in competition. This could relate to a sport or business activity in which you are under some considerable pressure at present. You have a sneaking suspicion about someone's character but find yourself between a rock and a hard place when it comes to sharing this information with anyone else.
21 January - 19 February
You may want to do something creative or adventurous, only to find that youre constrained financially to do so. For the time being you may have to find an alternative, in keeping with your budgetary limitations but this doesnt mean you have to ditch the idea completely. Meeting with people who are of like mind and want to share your interests is something you should explore today. You know that something is about to happen today, but don't pre-empt the outcome. Others need to go through certain processes for their own growth. Your generosity may be misplaced at present. Think carefully about what others are trying to get from you before you hand over money or other resources. You could be in error.
20 February - 20 March
You may finally be able to pay some debt thats been hanging around you for some time. This will free up extra cash, giving you the opportunity to pursue other activities, purchase things that have been on your wish list and generally feel more confident because youre able to enjoy some of the little luxuries again. Mercury moves to your seventh house very shortly and brings forecasts excellent communication with your spouse, partner or business associates. There may be some annual event that you are bound to attend that you do not want to take part in. It may be a boring workplace arrangement, but responsibility may have to prevail. Some past hurt or suppressed experience can be resolved under the eclipse today. Meditate and eliminate.
21 March - 20 April
You don't have to take every single call that comes through on your phone today. The Moon is a little frenetic in your third house and in hard aspect to Jupiter. People in your workplace could be pushing you to do more than you can feasibly accomplish. Its up to you to set the pace. You could get sucked into an emotional storm if you're not careful. If others choose to quarrel, give them space and don't interfere. Not only are you making an impact with your suave character, but you are exuding a lot more physical beauty to the world around you. You'll be one of the quickest sprinters off the block.
21 April - 21 May
22 May - 21 June
If youre trying to ingratiate yourself to get special favors this approach may backfire. The Moon has been transiting in square to Jupiter which is in your fourth house of family and property matters. Standing by your principles and expressing what you feel is true rather than what others expect to hear from you should be your strategy now. Friendships could be developed under this transit and you will feel safe and supported by your group of friends. But don't become too emotionally attached to someone. Don't project your expectations on others as this is bound to create disappointment. Listen to the full story before drawing your conclusions.
22 June - 23 July
The trine aspect from the Sun to Saturn is formidable today and means that you can achieve much more than you had anticipated. Your mind is focused on the tasks at hand and especially in financial matters youre able to come up with a plan thats practical and acceptable to those youre dealing with. Work relationships can be cool but strangely, also productive. You can't think clearly and your greatest enemy will be yourself. Separate your mind from your emotions. It's a good day to call a meeting with your superior or authority figure. You'll make a great impact and achieve what you want.

Apple has made revolutionary advancements in the smartphone industry. The company has to an extent set the bar high for the smartphone industry. But the industry is rapidly changing.
Other companies are coming up with more advanced handsets that pack more power than the iPhones. This has created a threat to Apple's dominance in the industry.
Although, the iPhone has a lot of features that are desirable, at the current market trend, most of these features are now available on other devices. This makes it easier for one to make a rational decision as to which handset to buy.
One of the main reasons why you should not be in a rush to buy an iPhone is the obsolescence of previous generations once a new one is unveiled. This makes it almost mandatory for any iPhone user to upgrade their handset once a new one is unveiled so as to have an uninterrupted and glitch-less use of the device.
This mainly because some previous iPhone generations stop receiving software updates as these updates are migrated to the new devices. This means that any new feature that improves performance that Apple adds with software updates will be missed – unless, of course, you buy the newest iPhone (so clever of Apple Inc.) Click Here For Android and iPhone Offers
With time, apps cease to also stop supporting devices running old operating systems. For example, with the unveiling of iOS 9, most apps now only provide support for devices running iOS 8 and above. This means that anyone running software below iOS 8 will either have to contend with old apps, or take the plunge and get the new iPhone to be guaranteed of software and apps updates.

With this year seeing the introduction of very competitive devices by companies, including HTC, Samsung and LG just to name a few, Apple has finally released the new line of iPhones to the market; and it has so far outmatched the competition.
The iPhone 6s and the 6s Plus were released jointly as successors to the famous iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus. The iPhone 6s has recorded massive sales since its launch, with the consumer base growing larger for these high end handsets.

This year, HTC unveiled the HTC One M9, a successor to the very successful HTC One M8 that was released last year.
The M9 was a pivotal product rolled out to ensure that HTC remained competitive in the smartphone battle that became even more aggressive with the introduction of the iPhone 6 and the Galaxy S6.
The handset received mixed reactions soon after it was released since its design and a handful of its 'new' features were similar to those of the M8. (more…)
This year saw the launch of what was probably Samsung's greatest comeback with the introduction of the Samsung Galaxy S6 and the S6 Edge.
As much as the Edge took the limelight with its sleek curved edge, both phones bore many similar features that managed to enable Samsung to get a step ahead of its main competitors, Apple, who launched the very successful iPhone 6 last year. (more…)

true, never though of that for some reason haha
I will if we ever get the time to
Ok thanks. My heart kind of sunk when I was reading about how it like makes fat absorption more optimal and how you want to plan and avoid insulin spikes, etc.
Does insulin really have that much of an effect on fat loss or gain? I'm a type 1 diabetic, so I kind of need insulin. Will it make it harder for me to lose fat, or what? The insulin spikes and...
17, but I've never used a grill & my parents are freaks. Is frying too much worse than grilling?
Don't think I can buy one of his grills haha. I only have one of those outdoor grills and idk if my parents would like me using it alone lol
I have heard and seen many people eat this as a healthy source of calories and protein. What is the best way to prepare it, in healthy-wise terms? As well as convenient.
Alright cool, that's comforting to know this
Yes. It is in my preworkout (C4) and I take a little on the side too since not a whole lot is in it. I take whey too, but those are the only supplements I take. I never actually measured my stomach...
Ok I'll look into those
Can anyone recommend me a pair of calipers you can use yourself? I don't have anyone to measure for me, and would be too weird having a random to. I know many of them are meant for two people, but...
Why are BF scales worthless? Some I have been reading up on send an electric pulse, rather than just calculating with formulas, which would make sense to be accurate
Yes, I've read the stickies :)
Anyways, I started dieting on Christmas, with a calorie intake of about 1.6k. I have a 5 day split for about an hour each day, plus an hour of cardio 3 days a week...
I've heard people say here when bulking first two months you gain 2x muscle than eventually 4x muscle, etc. how does that work? I've seen on other sites that you just gain weight like this

Starting my first cut, would like to know approximate %, and do you think I am skinny-fat, or just have a few extra pounds?

I'm just wondering if anybody has had this or knows how to fix it.
So I'm about oh 55 minutes into the game or so, I'm on peraguses in the fuel depot, my frame rate is not the highest becuase its kinda a big level or whatever. I'm playing as T3-M4 I go to the end of the first walkway and on the left there is a computer console (Fuel Control Console) okay so I go on the cpu counsel and its got like camera's or whatever system log, but what i open is "Emergancy System schematics" and thenthe first option "Open Emergancy hatch on Peragusus Administration level." i click it or whatever so it opens the emergancy hatch i then i log out. The game then goes into a cut scene where T3-M4 gets shot with a laser and then gets destroyed. The screen fades to black and stays there. on the black screen I can push start and it will give me the menu for my main character and it shows me where iam on the map and it shows me back in the fuel depot where t3-m4 was just shot. if i press "A" i can open up the computer counsel but i can't walk anywhere else on my own using the joysticks. when i open up the cpu console everything is normal even though the screen was just full black. here's the part thats wierd to me. when i access the "remote cameras" and get the feed it shows up black as well. for all three of them. I can log out but can't move anywhere and everything is black (turning up brightness to full doesnt work) so I'm just asking for some help if anyone knows anything or any ideas it would be awesome cause im freaking out here not being able to play KotOR 2.

It's a known glitch using the hard drive to run the game from. I've heard where editing a ini file on the hard drive will fix it occassionally and clearing the cache in other instances....also if you watch a movie first from the main screen then load a game it's helped some, however, the way which seems to work by far the most frequent is to use an actual copy of the disc (burned or original), save your game right before it happens, load from the disc, play through that part using the disc, then save afterwards and go back to the hard drive. That worked for me, and everyone I know who's tried it. I've heard of this error while using an original disc, but I don't know of anyone it's happened to though. But, as far as I know, there is no hard drive patch yet, and as this is supposed to be the only problem with the game that's caused by the hard drive, the best thing to do is just use the disc, get by this part, then go back to the hard drive.
Hope this helps!!

Research Institution:
AbstractTIPD LLC proposes to develop a compact and efficient multi-spectral laser system with four spectral bands at 532 nm, 685 nm, 700 nm, and 735 nm for airborne detection of ocean mines. The diode pumped solid-state laser system consists of a master oscillator and power amplifier (MOPA) laser, a frequency doubling laser, and three singly resonant optical parametric oscillators (OPOs). The Nd:YAG thin disk based MOPA laser can generate 2.5 J pulses at 1064 nm with width less than 4 nanoseconds, which can be converted to over 1.25 J pulses at 532 nm through a frequency doubling system. The 1.25 J pulses are split into the desired 500 mJ pulses at 532 nm and three 250 mJ pump lasers for three OPOs that produce 150 mJ pulses at 685nm, 700 nm and 735 nm, respectively. In this phase I program, we will focus on the design of the whole laser system and demonstrate high efficiency frequency doubling and OPOs using advanced quasi-phase matched crystals. Meanwhile, the capability of a thin-disk MOPA laser to produce<4 nanosecond pulses will be demonstrated. Modeling and simulation on the performance of the whole laser system will be carried out.

Peoria Chiefs Invade Arizona
D. J. LeMahieu singled, doubled, and tripled, and scored two runs, Ryan Flaherty reached base four times (double, two singles, and a walk), scored twice, and drove-in a run, Michael Brenly doubled and tripled and scored twice, Dong-Yub Kim singled and tripled, scored one run, and knocked-in another, and Rebel Ridling had four RBI, but it wasn't quite enough offense to provide a victory, as the Cubs and Brewers played to a 9-9 tie in Arizona Instructional League action at Fitch Park Field #3 this afternoon in sunny and VERY hot Mesa, Arizona.
The Instructional League features a virtual all-star team from each organization, which for the Cubs means most of their best prospects from Peoria, Boise, and AZL Cubs (Mesa), plus a few older prospects at Instructs to work on specific aspects of their game. Other players are there to learn a new position (3B-1B Jovan Rosa and IF-OF Brandon May are being converted to catchers).
All of the Cubs minor league coordinators and instructors are present at Fitch Park each day (Monday through Saturday), as are many of the minor league managers, pitching coaches, and hitting instructors, so the kids get a lot of intense instruction on a daily basis. The players work out for several hours before each game, and then the players who are not in the lineup that day work with instructors on adjoining fields during the game. .
The Cubs got off to an early 5-1 lead today, as starting pitcher Alberto Cabrera threw two-hit one-run ball over three innings while the Cubs scored a run in the 1st on a double by Flaherty and a two-out RBI single by Ridling, and then four more in the 3rd that featured two-run RBI doubles by Hak-Ju Lee and Ridling.
But the Cubs relief corps couldn't hold the lead, as the Brewers scored seven runs on four hits, three walks, two wild pitches, and a balk in innings 4-5-6-7 off Rafael Dolis, Jose Rosario, and Austin Kirk (although Dolis and Kirk did combine to strike out eight Brewers in just four innings of work).
But the Cubs offense kept the pressure on the Brewers, scoring single runs in the 5th, 6th, 7th, and 8th to take a 9-8 lead into the 9th, as LeMahieu doubled and scored on an RBI FC in the 5th, Brenly doubled and scored on an RBI FC in the 6th, LeMahieu tripled and scored on an RBI single by Flaherty in the 7th, and Brenly tripled and scored on a one-out infield single by Runey Davis in the 8th (and then Davis promptly got picked-off 1st).
Corey Martin entered the game in the top of the 9th with a save opportunity, but he surrendered three hard hit singles, allowing the Brewers to tie the game. Martin was saved from further damage thanks to a fine running catch by CF Kyung-Min Na that the little Korean turned into a nifty 7-6 DP to end the inning and give the Cubs a chance to win the game in their half of the inning, but the Cubs left LeMahieu stranded on the base in the bottom of the 9th.
Outfielders Dong-Yub Kim and Kyung-Min Na are the latest Korean teenagers signed by the Cubs to big bucks bonus contracts, and it's pretty obvious why Kim was rated by many scouts as the top high school player in South Korea. He is a big kid, a right-handed hitter with plus-speed and plus-power, the protypical five-tool outfielder.
Na is a litlle guy, maybe 5'6 130. He is a left-handed slap hitter who uses a toothpick for a bat, but he is fast runner (although Hak-Ju Lee is faster), and an outstanding defensive CF with s plus-arm. Na is so small he makes Tony Campana look like the Incredible Hulk. I understand Na was lost for several hours last week until the Fitch Park ground crew could mow the lawn and give the kid a chance to see over the tops of the blades of grass and find his way to the clubhouse.
While fellow Koreans Su-Min Jung, Hak-Ju Lee, and Jae-Hoon Ha were playing at Boise and Dae-Eun Rhee was rehabbing from TJS at Fitch Park, Kim and Na spent the summer at the MLB Australian Baseball Academy while waiting for their H2B visas to get processed.
The Cubs also signed three Taiwanese players this year (RHPs Tzu-An Wang and Yao-Lin Wang and 2B Pin-Chieh Chen), and they are supposed to participate in the AZ Instructional League, although they hadn't reported as of last week.
Here is today's abridged box score (Cubs players only):
1. Hak-Ju Lee, SS: 1-5 (F-7, 2B, 4-3, 6-3, 6-3), R, 2 RBI
2. D. J. LeMahieu, 2B: 3-5 (6-3, F-9, 2B, 3B, 1B), 2 R

Re: Peoria Chiefs Invade Arizona
The fact that the Cubs have a player in their system named Rebel Ridling is pretty much the best news of the season.
Re: Peoria Chiefs Invade Arizona
Az Phil...so of these group of kids, which hitter will see the majors first?
Thanks. We've been eager for your posts. The last 2 weeks of this season seemed to have lasted months.
Re: Peoria Chiefs Invade Arizona
it's not even been a month, but it feels like months...thanks for the content all pre-season until now and beyond azPhil.
106 or not, arizona baseball sounds like it's great fun for those that bother to seek it out.
Re: Peoria Chiefs Invade Arizona
Interesting about Ridling's glove. Even the rare first baseman that Wilken drafts is a two-way player.
Re: Peoria Chiefs Invade Arizona
Hey AZ Phil. Thanks for the post.
When did Jovan Rosa start catching? Is he any good? How has his offense been this year?
Also, what's your impression of LeMahieu so far?
Re: Peoria Chiefs Invade Arizona
I'm surprised Flaherty got sent down to Fall Instructs. I suppose the more at-bats, the better though. Hopefully Burke can carry over his great year in Peoria. I'd like to see him spend most the year in AA, if he can mash at High A next year.
And thanks, AZPhil, for the updates. I really look forward to these. This Dong-Yub Kim sounds pretty interesting. I can't wait to see your report on the 3 Taiwanese players, especially Tzu-An Wang.
Re: Peoria Chiefs Invade Arizona
Great Stuff Phil -
Always love hearing about the farm (especially after a year like this). I'm very interested in your view of the top 10 or 15 prospects if you care to share. I am hoping that some of the top guys can come along quicker than it seems to contribute to the big club.
Any hope for a front line starter or top closer from Cashner or Jackson? Any chance we can actually count on a young stud to build around in the future (Castro, Vitters). Please give us some hope.
Re: Peoria Chiefs Invade Arizona
This post has made my post-minor league baseball withdrawal even worse. It was a lot of fun watching Peoria this year. Maybe there's a cheap Allegiant flight I could take down to Phoenix to get a fix... :)
Re: Peoria Chiefs Invade Arizona
I have a few questions about Arizona (interested in moving out there someday, went there in '07 for Spring Training and loved it):
Can anyone get in to the Cubs workouts (like Soto, BJ Ryan, ect.) in Mesa? Is it free? Are the Mesa Cubs games free to get into? How about Mesa Solar Sox AFL?
Re: Peoria Chiefs Invade Arizona
Oh my gosh, I can't believe Kyung-Min Na is that small. He got the biggest bonus of any Cub Pac Rim player this year according to Korean newspapers.
Gregg done for season
Re: Peoria Chiefs Invade Arizona

When we played the Reds with Chapman, I always thought of it as an eight-inning game. So now other teams have eight innings to try to get a lead against the Cubs. Should be a challenge, assuming three or four Cubs ever start hitting again.
I don't really try to get to know and like these players personally. I'm rooting for laundry, for the most part. Exceptions might be when a player makes trouble in the clubhouse or in the dugout. (Zambrano and Bradley come to mind. Also Papelbon.) But I don't think Chapman is one of those jerks.
Unfortunately, a pretty good summary. It looks like next year Heyward will be getting yet another batting stance adjustment.
The recent good news has been Baez. I'm afraid about the next league adjustment on him, though, which is probably right around the corner.
Bryant I don't worry about too much. Just not seeing the ball well right now. He'll turn it around. Russell's been good with men in scoring position all year and he's 22ish. He'll be fine but next year is likely to be his breakout year.
If Travis' back-to-back-to-back walks cost Hendricks the ERA title, that would really suck.
Edit: "A lifeless loss to a lousy Sox team."
This place is a real downer after a loss to the Sox.
I expect they will go 5-9 games above .500 the rest of the year. 96-98 wins will win the Division.
They should have one more 2-3 week hot streak in them.
However, several players are just "average" for the last month: Zobrist, Ross, Russell, Ceasar. Montero is terrible, plus he cannot throw anyone out. -WAR. Heyward is abysmal at the plate, but a plus in the OF. Still with RISP he has been terrible. KB has not been driving in runs as of late. But Apparently the team is still above average with RISP according to S Sahadev.
I came to that realization tonight. I kept expecting them to play better, but now I realize they aren't going to. They are a .500 team now.
- They have one reliable starting pitcher. Jake's magic is gone, and it doesn't look like it's coming back. Lester has been lousy recently. Lackey's ERA goes up every time he pitches.
- Heyward has been dead weight all year. I can't remember a single series where he was a significant offensive contributor. Not one. Great defense, but but if he were hitting .270 with 10 HR and played average defense, the Cubs would be better off.
new rule...no one's allowed to throw k.bryant a changeup
Team is .500 since early May and is playing like a .500 team. Lack of offense seems to be putting a lot of pressure on the pitchers...and they aren't handling it terribly well.
.500 the rest of the way still may win the division though.
...i hate espn.
nothing like settling into a cubs game to get a few minutes cutaway for an ortiz AB in the 6th inning of the det/bos game.
oh, at least they're doing split screen now...i guess.
I'm liking this rookie Nathan.
Richard DFA'd. Meh...
Throwbacks with fashionable cutouts would be a nice touch.
The next 2 games are nationally televised. I think we dominate tonight, hitting 3 HRs off Shields. Great night for KB to end HR drought facing HR prone pitcher in one of the most hitter friendly parks in the league.
If the ball didn't deflect off the pitcher's mound, the game wouldn't have ended. Montgomery did miss his location though, but if that same contact was made and went in any of direction, good chance of ground out if it doesn't get through.
If it was 1 night later, Chapman would be out there and we probably would be going to extras.
Also, If KB wasn't robbed of a HR, perhaps we would have won. We will never know. Nice play by Melky though.
The comparison isn't Chapman replacing Rondon. It's Chapman replacing Richard (hopefully) in the pen. Chapman's better.

We have had one very good scientist, PhD in Physics, quit our branch before
Furlough's started. If furloughs go past October every decent
PhD/scientist/engineer will be leaving the branch due to the 20% pay cut and
100% increase in red tape. Would you stay in your job if you were forced to
take a 20% pay cut, put up with a bunch of red tape, and have valuable skills
that people will pay you more?
I'm at least staying though October, as we are just starting up a neat program for the Marine Corps. I am hoping that things turn around on the political front, and at least full time will be restored to the project I am working on, and other high priority projects in my branch.
However, extending the cuts past October would be a disaster for the scientific and engineering manpower of the military. Cool projects don't pay the mortgage. Any decent PhD would be stupid to stay around and watch their income and career die.

It may be "crying wolf" ... unless you happen to be one of the several
million that this has affected personally. Training has been cancelled for a
large portion of the Army. Contracts have been cut (my job along with thousands
of others put on the chopping block). Military retiree medical availability has
been trimmed significantly (with more looming). And millions of government
workers (including the gentleman next to me) has his paycheck reduced by 10% for
the next several months as "furlough" sets in.
Having spent 34 years in uniform, and in several jobs, being responsible for either training others or keeping my units trained / ready, that is the greatest effect of this situation.
Again, it's not personal ... until it is.

I know that for some, the stereotypical federal employee is someone who is undereducated and over paid. From where I sit at HAFB that characterization is simply unfair. I have a graduate degree in engineering from a big 12 conference university. I took a pay cut to leave industry and take a civil service job because I felt strongly about the mission of the organization I work for. For 3 years there have been no cost of living raises (to say noting of performance awards) and now our pay has been cut by 20% for the last 3 months of the fiscal year. Critical work is being deferred to be sure, but more importantly, the morale of the workforce has been shattered.

There are 300+ cancer research grants that are not being funded this year, a few
of them here in Utah.
One could shrug this off with a smirk, like "well, we all have to die, anyway", but those jobs will probably be moving more & more overseas as researchers seek nations more atrongly committed to the research effort.
One of the most promising researchers, a superstar in the research world, is packing up and headed to Germany, and taking his portfolio of collaborations with him to the German pharmaceutical companies. Educated by US tax dollars, now benefitting another nation. I'd imagine research and investment will follow him out of the country, along with quite a few Reaearch jobs. He specifically cited funding instability as the reason he was leaving, even though his situation was solid. He wants to collaborate with researchers who don't spend their time trying to chase money.
On the other hand, I don't really have a history of cancer in my family, so why should I care? Lower taxes means more toys for me! Yippy!

What pary of broke do people not understand. The federal government is like a
guy who makes 100k per year but spends 140k. Now he is crying because he has to
pack a lunch. Here is a radical idea, those governmeny scientists can use WebEx
and save $1 mil this year. Yes there will be some pain, but nothing compared to
what will happen if Government spending is not brought back to rational levels.
If interest rates were to rise to 8 percent, HALF the federal budget would go
to paying the interest on the debt.
Here are a few radical ideas to avoid a financial collapse. Raise the retirement age to 70. Tighten the requirements for food stamps. Close military bases in Europe. Stop corporate welfare. Lower the corporate tax rate on overseas profits to 15 percent for money repatriated within 1 year. Fix the tax code so companies like GE do not avoid taxes on huge profits.
Right now the only thing keeping investment money coming into the US is that Europe is even more messed up than we are.

I worked for the Federal government for 30 years in the area of finance and budgeting. A one to two percent cut to an increase in the budget could have been absorbed easily. The current administration is choosing to force Federal agencies to absorb this miniscule cut to their increased budget in a manner that is the most painful. Let each agency deal with the amount budged for them, and there will be no furloughs or cuts in pay. There are lots of places an agency can make cuts this small, without any real pain. If you are a Federal employee or contractor who has been affected, then blame Obama, not the sequestration.

As Irony Guy and Rappahannock suggest, it is easy to say that sequestration hasn't been harmful when you live thousands of miles from the folks who are most effective. A 20% pay cut to civilian military and other government workers has to hurt when people are living month to month and yet we continue to make the weapons of war that put millions in the pockets of Lockheed Martin executives. As the article suggested, the Secretary of Defense was most like being disingenuous to suggest the cuts would be draconian when he made the decision to impact people first and weapons last. After all, a contract is a contract, right? What about the contract, written or implied, with the workers?

I recognize that cutting run away spending will have consequences that will be difficult for some. This is a simple 7% budget cut of an entity that has wasted billions of dollars with its poor procurement and management practices. If we are to survive as a nation, these and many more tough cuts will be necessary. As a retiree who depends partly on Soc. Sec. and Medicare, I will also feel some pain but I am willing and hope our pathetic congress and presidency will also be willing to do the hard things. Our very survival depends on it!

The automatic budget cuts CONGRESS?? enacted? Aren't you forgetting BO was deeply involved in this and it was his idea in the first place? Don't let BO off the hook!
Chuck Hagel warned of cuts to the military, including passing more health care costs on to servicemembers, but liberals posting on these board BRAG about military personnel being on food stamps.
The definition of recession is the economy is shrinking. That is not happening, though the rate of growth is abysmal thanks to BO and his anti-business policies. You are correct that BO has made it difficult to make significant reductions in the unemployment rate; it is NOT coming down to where it needs to be and too many people are under-employed.
The solution is simple, get BO and the dems to be serious at the negotiating table. I think BO tried, but harry and chuck schumer sabotaged him.

It's far too early to weigh the effects of sequestration. This is a
slow-burning fuse.
I'm a contracting officer in DOD. Tomorrow I'll take an unpaid day off, and will continue to take Mondays off for several more months along with nearly 700,000 DOD colleagues. No one has determined whether this pattern continues into the next fiscal year that starts in October, but we're pessimistic.
My job gives me a fairly good view of how sequestration impacts DOD workers, programs, missions, and contracts. It is not crying wolf. Whatever budget savings there may be are more than offset by the inefficiencies created by the manner in which they're being taken. Ultimately they will result in programs costing more over their lifetimes or creating waste because of being cancelled partway through.
We need to do something about spending, no question. Sequestration is not the answer, particularly in a sluggish economy.
Most of us signed on to serve our country, often sacrificing more lucrative careers in the private sector. It disturbs me to see the indifference, lack of compassion, and even glee on the part of some that we are being asked to shoulder more sacrifice.

Actually, I agree with Mont Pugmire.
What people don't understand is that median household incomes in the US have *declined* since 2007, before the Great Recession, from $54,000 a year to $50,000. New college graduates have a very lousy job market to look forward to, in part because of fierce international wage competition. People with PhDs in India make about $15,000 a year. Good luck getting American youth to strive for a PhD for those wages.
50 years ago, GM was the largest employer, and wages were (adjusted for inflation) about $50 an hour. Today the largest sector of the economy is retail sales, where Walmart is the largest employer. Walmart's average wage = $8.81 per hour, and Walmart is *reducing* employment, even as they open new stores, because the Internet has largely replaced a function of previous retail workers, ie, to help customers decide what they want to buy. People shop online, even if they make their purchase at Walmart.
A gap between productivity (profits) and employment has grown since 2000. Companies don't need workers as much, but workers pay taxes.
More cuts are coming.

Who I Am Poems (Introductory-Level)
Preparing and Assigning:
This activity begins an active introspective process while continuing to provide opportunities for individuals to make connections with each other. Participants write short poems, starting each line with "I am," encouraging them to describe in their own words who they are and what's salient to their identities.
In any attempt to increase awareness and encourage self-development, it is crucial to engage participants in activities that call for introspection and self-reflection. It is also important to provide opportunities for participants to make connections across, and even within, identity borders. The "Who I Am" activity can provide a non-threatening starting point for encouraging self-reflective thought and introspection. It is a safe way for participants to think about and share the influences that have shaped their identities. Also, it continues the connection-making process as participants find unexpected similarities and differences between themselves and others in the group.
This activity also can be an excellent closing activity, allowing folks to re-connect at a self-defined and human level at the end of an experience in which they are discussing difficult issues.
Ask participants to take ten to fifteen minutes to write a poem called "Who I Am." Instruct them that the only rule is that each line should begin with the words "I am..." Leave it open to their interpretation as much as possible, but suggest that they can, if they wish, include statements about where they're from regionally, ethnically, religiously, and so on; memories from different points in their lives; interests and hobbies; mottos or credos; favorite phrases; family traditions and customs; and whatever else defines who they are. Be sure to let them know that they will be sharing their poems.
Facilitator Notes:
In order to ensure that everybody has an opportunity to share her or his story, you might consider breaking the group into diverse small groups of 8-10 if necessary. Give participants the option either to read their poems or to share parts of their poems from memory.
Points to remember:
I am basketball on a snowy driveway.

Before this year, Still Creek Christian Academy did not have an official athletics program involved in a specific district. Few of the Academy's students had played organized sport until this season, but they have dominated nonetheless.
The Still Creek Christian Academy boys varsity basketball team finished off the season Tuesday night with a 65-55 victory over Legacy Prepatory from Magnolia, Texas.
Their regular season record jumped to 9-3 in TAPPS District 1A. The boys defeated Brenham Christian Academy Monday night 65-63.
The next game will be a bi-district game at Orange Community Christian School in Orange, Texas at 6 p.m.

I have 2 machines running Windows Xp SP3. I have cygwin installed on both, version 1.7. I have rsync and ssh installed on both, and configured using default settings as per ssh-host-config and ssh-user-config programs provided.
I moved the public keys into their respective locations, and basically ssh is working fine. i began an rsync operation, using:
rsync -av --delete --hard-links local_dir username@other_machine:/some_dir
well... on both machines, the processor is running near idle, no heavy usage. I checked IO using process explorer on both machines, and that too is at normal levels (1~2 MB/s), so I can't see where the bottlenecks are, because network performance is aweful. I'm not going over 1MB/s... when a normal file copy using windows sharing achieves some ~10 MB/s..
What could be wrong?
As suggested, i ran an iperf test, with not-so-good results at all...

When the plugin is active, parts of the UI stop functioning. That includes the drop-downs on the back-end (e.g. screen options on the top-right of the screen), the add media button and collapsing-expanding of parts of the back-end such as on the Custom Fields and Revisions panes.
Perhaps it's due to some conflict with another plugin that I use - didn't investigate that. All I know is that when disabled, the UI resumes proper functionality.
Thanks much for this plugin. I find it of great value and have used it as part of streamlining the performance of my site. Hopefully, the issue can be resolved. If this isn't a bug and there's a way to remedy the above, please advise.

ORGANISERS of a popular community festival are on the hunt for volunteers to help make next year's event a success.
Plans for the 2013 Loughton Festival are well under way, with the line-up already including a gala, craft days, markets, concerts and historical talks.
The committee is looking for volunteers to help organise events, plan publicity, raise funds and help out on an occasional basis over the winter and spring.
The festival, which will take place in March and April, will raise funds for the Chigwell Disabled Group, Chigwell Riding Trust for Special Needs, Lambourne End Outdoor Centre and City of London and Eastern Society of Organists.
Last year's nine-week run raised more than £9,000 for local causes.
For more information or to offer your services, contact festival director Sue Taylor on 020 8508 2512 or email email@example.com.
- For more details about the festival, visit www.loughtonfestival.org.uk.

|Kill 1000 sea units.
This is the only one of the "Kill 1000" achievements that you probably will not get during the campaign. Three easy ways to get this done: 1) Replay the last Aeon mission and don't capture the control tower. Naval units will continue to attack you, just save every hour or so to see if you have enough kills yet; or 2) Keep playing sea intensive skirmish maps that have much more water than land to heighten the probability of getting a sea kill. Skirmish vs 3 - 4 normal AI's depending on your skill on Roanoke Abyss because it has a lot of water; or 3) Play with a partner in multiplayer and set up a row of torpedo turrets and have your partner send in a lot of Tech 1 units (not submarines, however). With a partner, you can do this along with Supreme Shipwright, but for efficiency you should do all of the campaigns first (especially the Aeon campaign).

Hey there,
I'm not able to find a way to fix this with my current limited knowledge, and I was also not able to find a solution searching the forums.
I have an image with a mouseover effect, and when I rollover it the background of the mouseover png turns gray rather than remain transparent.
Can you help me get to the bottom of this issue? I'm sure it's an easy fix, I just have no clue... have already tried Firebug but I can't tell what I need to edit.
Thanks in advance!

Lucy: Yahoo News, being in the pockets of the demos, are expected to sway the news their way, which has nothing to do with the facts or the truth. I'm not crazy about Reince Priebus or the GOP, but the Republicans are more likely to tell the truth and keep their convention on the factual side, while, with Hillary in charge, the DNC is crazy with falsehoods, lies and misstatements about the GOP, and especially Trump. Crooked Hillary. What more is there to say?

The new home of
Swansea, 'The Waterfront City', enjoys a prime location on the southwest coast of Wales. Swansea Bay extends for some 5 miles of sandy beach, where you can enjoy days out exploring the coast and countryside and of course the stunning beauty of the Gower Peninsula.
Swansea is undoubtedly a city of contrasts, where historic buildings blend effortlessly with the fabulous modern facilities on offer. A fine example of Swansea's redevelopment is the stunning Marina and Maritime Quarter, which is an award-winning complex of leisure facilities and attractions. These include the National Waterfront Museum and the Swansea Museum.
The Marina is just a short walk from the many shops, restaurants and pubs of the city centre. In the centre, also stands a grand reminder of the city's long history, Swansea Castle. Although what remains of the castle today is far from complete, it's a fine and rather unusual sight, surrounded as it is by the modern buildings of the city.
The Gower Peninsula on which Swansea stands is famed for its beauty, has magnificent coastal views and award winning beaches. Discover the many delightful towns and villages of the area; including just a few miles along the Peninsula the delightful seaside village of Mumbles. This really is an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, with magnificent seascapes and coastal paths where you can blow the cob webs away and de-stress from modern life. The beaches are wonderful; clean, sandy and uncrowded.
From a beautiful coastal setting and historic splendour to family attractions and fine shopping, this area really does have it all.

Logement très bien situé sur les hauteurs de Machico et décoré avec gout . Vue spectaculaire sur la ville. Accueil très sympathique de Jorge et Paula .
We truly recommend this place to everyone.
The room and bathroom is really nice and clean, bed comfortable and the view over Machico, Atlantic and mountains from balcony is just beautiful.
Machico is good place to stay on Madeira: calm and small city, where you can find everything you need.
Jorge and Paula were great for us. They are helpful, good-hearted. If we have opportunity to visit Madera again, we will check if this room is free for sure.
Thank you for everything, for dinner, for treatment when Gosia felt bad.
We hope to see you again.
All the best for You and Matylda
A very nice place to stay! Machico is a nice town to relax and calm down. Jorge and Paula are great hosts. They are very friendly and a great help. The room is cosy and you have a great view over Machico and its mountains. You share the well equiped kitchen with Jorge and Paula. A car is useful to get around quickly.
All in all I would absolutely recommend this room!
Hello Jorge and Paula, we had a wonderfull time at your house. You were very welcoming und extremly kind. We especialy enjoyed the sailing trip. And the view from the room is great!
