Amanda is the girl next door, and Chad has no idea what is in store for him.
Chad prepared himself for the jump and at the precise moment he lifted the handle bar of his Mountain Bike and it flew off the sidewalk and landed perfectly on the street. He continued peddling as hard as he could and a few minutes later he came to a screeching halt on the driveway to the house where he lived with his parents. He got off the bike and put it against the wall and then...Read On

Robert Proposes to Mia
The large desk in the centre of the room was a mess, papers and files all over the place. Mia sat at her desk putting things in a proper order, it was not easy but she had nearly completed doing it. She walked over to the wall where a filing cabinet stood with many drawers. Slowly and carefully she picked up each pile and placed it in the corresponding drawer. It took her about ten minutes...Read On

I didn't hear the moans or the thumping until I walked into the copy room at work. I was lost in thought, at work past six, and not expecting to run into anyone. By the time I saw them, it was too late; Ty Carver and the pretty little temp he was fucking had already seen me. The girl was bent over the heavy table where I usually organized my grant paperwork, wearing only her bra and those...Read On

The much-requested sequel to "The Student"
Roger woke up the next morning with thoughts of Jessica and their classroom encounter fresh in his mind; actually, his dreams had been filled with the images of her big, round breasts squeezed in his hands as her pussy milked the cum from him. As he showered in preparation for work the mere thought of her soft lips around his shaft gave him an almost immediate erection, one that stayed with...Read On

Jesse makes a bet that he couldn't lose. Or could he?
Nearly everyone has a sexual fantasy that they would love to act on sometime in their life. Unfortunately for some, it never becomes reality. There are many different reasons, ranging from having fear or hesitation, to fantasizing about someone they can't have, or the situation just never presents itself. This is a story of one such fantasy. Hope you enjoy! It was a Friday evening and I was...Read On

The second part of the true story of the first time I shared my girlfriend.
I woke up first and lay alone on the sofa, bathed in sunshine and happiness. The girl I loved was well and truly mine again, and I had her climax twice in the space of a few hours. I laughed inwardly at Jerry's impotent arrogance, his desire for the girl he would never have. She was mine, and I knew then I wanted her to be mine forever. Victory was mine and it tasted sweet.

Please pray for Dr. Dobson because he is an asshole.
If Dr. Dobson is doing the Lord's work, why does he need to be prayed for?
I might have been nice if Pastor Asshole had asked the prayer warriors to pray for the soldiers overseas, but I suppose the "support our troops" stickers cover that. You can't pray for EVERYONE, and Pastor needs a new Lexus.
I have been wondering for a while, "Why are these banal Prayer Warrior emails worth posting here?" Is it old fashioned irony or is there something I am missing? (this is not a complaint, because I usually just skip over posts I am not interested in)
i'm guessing you don't know who the prayer warrior is. he's redmond's #1 douchebad extrodinaire.
"douchebad": oddly, that's not wrong.
I don't like Larry King much myself, but I wasn't aware his guests were in dire need of celestial intervention.
Then again, I still want to know what kind of "influence" Hutch wielded over the other men on his hunting trip. Doing Manly Things With Other Men! (Does anyone else smell the scent of overcompensation?)

Beloved brothers and sisters, the Lord defined that fullness of love which we ought to bear to one another when He said: "Greater love than this no one has, that a person lay down his life for his friends (Jn 15:13). Earlier he had said, "This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you" and then added to these words what you have just heard: "Greater love than this no one has, that a person lay down his life for his friends." From this there follows what this same Evangelist John says in his epistle, "As Christ laid down His life for us, even so we also ought to lay down our lives for our brothers and sisters" (1 Jn 3:16), loving one another in truth as He loved us who laid down His life for us.
Such also is doubtless the meaning of what we read in the Proverbs of Solomon: "If you sit down to supper at the table of a ruler, consider wisely what is set before you; and so put out your hand, knowing that you art bound to prepare similar things" (Prov 23:1-2). For what is the table of the ruler but the one from which we take the body and blood of Him who laid down His life for us? And what is it to sit at that table but to approach it humbly? And what is it to consider intelligently what is set before you but worthily to reflect on the greatness of the favor? And what is it so to put forth your hand knowing that you must prepare similar things but what I have already said: that, as Christ laid down His life for us, so we also must lay down our lives for the brothers and sisters? For as the Apostle Peter also says, "Christ suffered for us, leaving us an example, that we should follow His steps" (1 Pet 2:21). This is to prepare similar things. This is what the blessed martyrs did in their burning love. If we do not celebrate their memories in a merely formal way, if we approach the table of the Lord for the banquet at which they themselves were utterly filled, we must, as they did, be also ourselves preparing similar things. For at this table we do not commemorate them in the same way as we do others who now rest in peace and for whom we pray; rather we remember them so that they may pray for us that we may closely follow in their footsteps, because they have actually achieved that full love than which, our Lord has told us, there cannot be a greater. For they offered to their brothers and sisters things similar to the ones they too had received from the table of the Lord. (In Ioannem Tr. 84, 1; PL 35, 1846-1847)

Help Fathers Be Dads
School Age Support
Kids are finally at an age where Dad can share some of what he loves as well as help kids find their own passions. "When Dad introduces his special interests to kids, he invites them to be part of his world," says Connor.
What Dad Can Do
"Scott is a private pilot, so it was natural for him to share his love of flying with our daughter, Gabriella, 4. Nearly every weekend they drive up a little hill alongside Los Angeles International Airport. They lie on the grass and watch the planes fly over their heads. Together they shout out a five second countdown to landing and high-five each other when they see the white smoke from the airplanes' tires as they touch down at high speed." — Kathie Papera, 36, Manhattan Beach, CA
"My husband has taught our girls to build basic wood structures (small houses), how to prepare dinner (now they all cook together), and how to track animals in nature. Not doing traditionally 'girly' stuff gives my daughters fantastic practical experiences. I see their self confidence soaring when they say things like, 'I know how to use a wood saw, a hammer, and a corner wrench!' or 'I made chicken and pasta for my family last night!'" —Laurie Hurley, 50, Newbury Park, CA
"Scott, an illustrator, draws pictures on the paper napkins he packs in my boys' school lunches. For our youngest son, Carter, the illustrations evolved into a cartoon character called Captain Carter. At dinner one night, Carter, then 8, insisted on drawing special napkins for everyone. He wanted to share the love!" — Sylvia Bodell, 45, Dallas
"Wade is usually the one who gives our 3yearold daughter, Libby, her bath. That started early on — because he was spending the day outside the house, it was important that there was something simple he could do routinely with the baby. Libby still prefers her dad's brand of splish-splash over mine any day!" —Dae Levine, 36, New York City
"My kids, Alex, 8, and Zoe, 5, spend the last daylight hours every day in the yard with their dad, an avid sports fan, punting a football or practicing the perfect pitch. He never plops down on the couch to read the sports page first or tells the kids he has something else to do. And they all love it." —Samantha Gianulis, 36, San Diego

Cryptogenic Cirrhosis: What Are We Missing?

Cryptogenic cirrhosis remains a common clinical condition although recent advances have allowed for a better understanding of underlying conditions and associations. The evolving terminology applied to this condition has resulted in some confusion and persistent variation among pathologists and clinicians. Typical patients are middle aged with only minor liver enzyme abnormalities. Presentations range from incidentally discovered cirrhosis to complications of advanced portal hypertension and hepatocellular cancer. Clinicopathologic analysis of these patients indicates that the leading causes include previously unrecognized nonalcoholic steatohepatitis, silent autoimmune hepatitis, non-B, non-C viral hepatitis, and occult past ethanol exposure. In this article, we review these associations as well as a proposed classification system for cryptogenic cirrhosis and other lesser known genetic and syndromic associations that warrant consideration when evaluating these individuals.

Regulations could be a step up
Published: Tuesday, January 4, 2011 at 8:47 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, January 4, 2011 at 8:47 a.m.
Like so many efforts in the nation's capital, the food-safety bill recently passed by Congress became a political football.
Democrats hailed it as a last-minute success by a Congress that will soon see a lot more Republican members.
Conservatives, meanwhile, blasted it for vastly expanding the powers of the federal Food and Drug Administration.
Closer to home, though, the bill is being welcomed by people who make their livings in the various parts of the seafood industry.
Shrimpers, for instance, like the fact that the bill — if, as expected, it is signed into law today by President Barack Obama — will make it harder for foreign nations to import shrimp into the U.S.
It requires increased foreign food safety and increased penalties on those whose seafood violates the new regulations.
The Southern Shrimp Alliance said the bill is a "major step toward improving the Food and Drug Administration's practices with respect to imported seafood."
Perhaps that is why Louisiana's two senators, Mary Landrieu, D-New Orleans, and David Vitter, R-Metairie, both supported the bill.
In fact, both were instrumental in adding provisions.
Vitter was able to add an amendment that will prohibit foreign importers from "port shopping," a practice by which some seek out ports where safety measures are less stringent than others.
That will have obviously positive effects both on the public's health, which could suffer if tainted seafood were to make it through a system that imposes inconsistent rules, and on local shrimpers who compete with the importers.
Landrieu added a provision that requires the FDA to conduct public health and cost assessments before issuing regulations on the processing and eating of raw oysters.
This measure will force the FDA to take into account the sweeping effects its regulations can have before it issues them. It is a common-sense reaction to the FDA's earlier effort to impose draconian restrictions on the raw-oyster industry. Those were restrictions that could have made oysters prohibitively expensive to most consumers and in the process effectively shut down the Gulf Coast's oyster industry.
The thought of expanding federal regulatory authority might not sit well with some who believe bureaucracy and red tape are already too common in Washington, D.C.
But in this case, there are good reasons for local fishermen and oystermen to rejoice over measures that should make things a bit better for them.

Report: NFL won't release player penalties today
Published: Monday, April 23, 2012 at 3:00 p.m.
Last Modified: Monday, April 23, 2012 at 3:04 p.m.
The Saints will live another day it appears without knowing exactly what will happen to the players in regard to their involvement in the pay-for-performance program the NFL uncovered during a three-year investigation.
ESPN's Adam Schefter tweeted shortly before 1 p.m. that the NFL doesn't plan on announcing the penalties today, though there remains the possibility that they could be issued this week sometime.
The NFL first announced its finding of the three-year investigation on March 2. Nearly three weeks later, the league handed down severe penalties to the coaches involved.
Former Saints defensive coordinator Gregg Williams was suspended indefinitely while New Orleans head coach Sean Payton is out for a year and can be re-integrated into the league after the Super Bowl.
Saints general manager Mickey Loomis is out eight games while linebackers coach Joe Vitt will miss six games.
But the penalties for the players still seem to be elusive. The NFLPA continues to question the evidence while the league still says it has plenty to go on.
Only linebacker Jonathan Vilma has been named publicly for involvement. The NFL's report said that Vilma put up a $10,000 reward prior to the 2010 NFC championship game for taking out Minnesota quarterback Brett Favre.
The NFL's investigation unearthed an internal system in which players were paid for specific plays, including $1,000 for cart-offs and $1,500 for knockouts. Williams personally put money into the kitty, which grew to as much as $50,000 in 2009.

There are better places - more tectonically stable - than Tooele County. That area near Las Vegas would be absolutely perfect. I'm a scientist myself - studied nuclear physics in particular. But yes, Washington is never in a hurry to address real problems before they get worse. They're only interested in making existing problems worse in their attempts to "solve" them.

Re: "It's a shame."
It is, indeed.
The foolishness of this move will become more and more clear as new technologies come online that will change our designation of "spent nuclear fuel" to the new, more apt description -- "FUEL."
And our perceptions of "nuclear waste dumps" to energy "gold mines."

When people in Tooele need a bone scan, thyroid scan or radium implant as part of their medical care, where would they propose the waste be dumped, perhaps in someone else's back yard? When emotion triumphs over reason, the result is usually bad.

There are a few people at my gym who put belts on to squat 60kg. I laugh on the inside and then squat 120 raw for reps.
Congrats on the PR bro, awesome work. Not far off the 500lbs pull, impressive. Also I know that feel on the neck - nothing worse than when your neck is out, hope it clears up quickly for you.
Beastly squat is beastly. You might have fallen just short of the prescribed reps, but 163x4 is still damn good work.

The Classification of matter
1.Before we classify matter, we should know:
Basically, people classify matter according to their physical properties.
Any part of the universe that is being studied in a given situation is a SYSTEM. Inside a system, means matter that have the same chemical and physical properties evenly is a PHASE.
→ 【1】Two phases are contained in this cup of drink,because the drink inside have two colours and they have a clear distinction. One is in colour red and the colour is very bright while the other one is in colour yellow and it looks cloudy.
Matter are made by particles such as atoms (the smallest possible unit of an element which remains the properties of the element), molecule (a group of two or more kinds of atoms held together by electrical forces) or ion.
These fundamental parts of the world are important in classifying matter.
2. Two ways of classification:
1)In our textbooks,the author classify things according to their phases
All substances can be divided into two categories:
1.Homogeneous substances
2.Heterogeneous substances
Heterogeneous substances are multi-phases substances, it means they have more than one phase. Contrary to this, homogeneous substances are substances with only one phase.
【2】This's a photo of the chart on the text book
Homogeneous substances can be divided into pure substances (can be written in a chemical formula and have unchange properties) and homogeneous mixture which has variable composition.
【3】This is a picture from http://hubpages.com/hub/Heterogeneous-and-Homogeneous-Mixtures. It presents a homogeneous matter inside, because the cup only have one phase inside.
If there is only one kind of atom presented in the pure substance, we consider it as an element. Because the definition of element is any substances that can not be seperated into simpler form by chemical process.
For example: A pure piece of iron can be written as Fe and there's only one kind of atom presented in this substance.
→【4】This is a picture from http://www.tqnyc.org/2006/NYC063220g08viiia8fe.htm, it's an example of an element Fe.
If more than one type of atom is presented in the pure substance, it is considered a compound. Because a compound is a pure substance made of 2 or more types of atoms. However, only one type of molecule is presented in a compound.
For example: Pure water is H2O and there is only one molecule presented in the sustance.
→【5】A picture from http://www.3dchem.com/molecules.asp?ID=234, it shows the structure of a compound.
If a substance is homogeneous, but more than one kind of molecule in it, we classify it as a solution.The definition of a solution is a homogeneous mixture of two or more substances. A solution does not need to be a liquid!!
→【6】A Stainless steel is a group of iron-based metal containing at least 10% alloy metals. It is homogeneous and it has more than one kind of molecule in it. Therefore, it is a kind of solution.
If the substance has more than one phase, we classify it as a heterogeneous substance and because it's a mixture of two or more substances, we consider it as a mechanical mixture.
→[8]This is an example for mechanical mixture.
In conclusion, when there is a substance need to be classified
1. State it's homogeneous or heterogeneous substance.
2. If it is a heterogeneous mixture, it's a mechanical mixture.
3. If it is a homogeneous mixture, try to write it's chemical formula.
4. If it contains variable formulas, it's a solution.
5. If the formula contains a molecule, it's a compound.
6. If the formula contains only one kind of atom, it's an element.
2)Actually, matters can be classified into mixtures or pure substances as well
【7】Thanks to http://www.chemistrytutorials.org/index.php/content/matters-and-properties-of-matters/classification-of-matters
The advantage of this kind of classification is the differences between pure substances and mixture are showed clearly instead of having mixtures in two branches.
Because we have already understand all the terms, we can directly conclude the process as:
1. Write the chemical formula for the substances.
2. State whether it's a pure matter or a mixture.
3. If it can be written in a chemical formula and the formula contains a molecule, it's a compound.
4. If the formula has only one atom, it's an element.
5. If it's cannot be written in a chemical formula, and it has only one phase, it's a homogenous mixture.
6. If it has more than one phase, it's a heterogenous mixture.

Interesting that the media has suddenly found positive things about Romney,
because before the election they only spewed criticism and misinformation, if
not outright lies.
Romney is an honorable and decent man, who loves our country and works to improve life for everyone, and is too much a gentleman to tell the truth about his political opponents.
Oh, for what might have been. Future generations will study the 2012 election to see how our country was purposely misled, giving rise to our irreversible decline.

But those now in power will become a hiss and a by-word. At any other time in our nation's history, Mitt would be President. This nation will reap the cold shoulder to God. Men who believe in God, and live by God's precepts, no matter what religion...will conquer. Those who have turned from God, to do as they will, will find sadness and emptiness. Even our current leaders will someday fall to their knees...as will we all, and pay honor to that God whose commandments this nation flaunts today.

All I can say is I fought, hard, for Mitt Romney for five years. I started out
in 2007 supporting McCain but after watching Romney's "Faith In
America" speech in Houston, TX on 7 Dec 2007 (find it on YouTube), I was
hooked. Every single word he said in that speech, every word, was packed with
wisdom, passion, truth and power. I was so impressed with that one speech I
watched it and then insisted my wife and kids watch it, too. What did the media
do right after that speech? They branded Mitt as "exclusionary" because
in the speech, which was written primarily around the idea of faith in God
played in our nation's founding, did not include those who do not believe
in God.
Over my 5 years of watching and learning about Romney I came up with a list of 28 qualifications Romney had for being our President. Yes, twenty eight. And none of them came from a Deseret News reporter. Not. One.
We truly are a nation of fools. Or is that too harsh to say?

This trailer is certainly telling. Every reputable poll going into Election Day
said that Romney was slightly behind, yet he and his campaign were so convinced
that victory was inevitable that he didn't even bother writing a concession
speech. Even President Obama wrote one, for crying out loud. That's just
a standard part of running for office.
I certainly expect the posters here at the DN to live in a right-wing bubble, but to see the potential leader of the free world being so blinkered from reality is more than a bit disturbing...

We could have had a great president (Jon Huntsman, Jr.) but he was too sane and
rational (and moderate) so he was rejected by the far right in the nominating
process. That left us with a choice between bad (Obama) and much, much worse
(Romney). "Bad" defeated "worse" and, Thank God, Romney
didn't get a chance to destroy the United States and its people like he
destroyed so many companies and their employees when he was at Bain. We dodged
a disaster when Romney was sent packing. (I voted Republican -- I wrote in
It amazes me that people are still trying to rehabilitate Romney. He doesn't deserve it.
For the record, I am NOT one of the "47%". I am a well-educated professional (a lawyer) and have been gainfully employed since I was a teenager, with a small amount of time off to gestate pregnancies. I and my husband have both paid net taxes to the government every year that we have earned income. AND I am a mainstream (i.e. truly conservative) Republican. I am observant and faithful LDS. I just see Romney as he really is, not the way people try to make him appear.

A hiss and a by-word?
The people responsible for Romney's failure to become the POTUS are the white evangelicals/conservative Christians who could not bring themselves to vote for a Mormon.
Add to that list...
The Republican king-makers who continually referred to Romney's religion as a cult...giving the voters an excuse to stay home.
As well as the Fox News/Republican Entertainers who continually told viewers that Romney would easily win... therefore giving those viewers an excuse to stay home.
And don't forget the tepid endorsements he received from other Republican POTUS wannabees.
It's easy to and expected to blame Romney's failure on the opposition.
If Romney would have received the same backing from Republicans across America that he receives daily from DN readers, he would have won easily.

Blog: Olly & the London Marathon
Olly Wehring | 7 April 2014
Just over three years ago, my wife gave birth to our son, Conor. He arrived eight weeks early.
To thank the charity that supported his premature arrival - and the neo-natal ward that kept him alive - I am running the London Marathon on Sunday, 13 April.
You can read Conor's story - and sponsor me, should you wish - by clicking here.
Please, give as generously as you can.
Thank you.

From the DNC National Meeting in Phoenix, AZ
I just talked to State Democratic Party Chair Paul Berendt, who's in Phoenix, where the DNC is holding its annual meeting right now.
With Howard Dean at the helm, the 400 DNC members are working on "messaging" for the big '06 election. Berendt said antsy Democratic voters shouldn't expect a Democratic version of Gingrich's '94 "Contract w/ America" just yet. (He reminded me that the Republicans' Contract w/ America didn't hit until Sept. '94, just 2 months before the Rs' big takeover.)
However, Berendt did say the Republicans' "Culture of Corruption" (DeLay, Frist, Libby, Halliburton, Cunningham) is figuring prominently as the Dems start to determine how to frame 2006.
Berendt also reports that while the Democrats in Washington, DC might have problems with Howard Dean, support remains "rock solid" among the DNC delegates who are gathered at the Wyndham Hotel in downtown Phoenix.

How to avoid "foreign transaction fee" on credit card
Report Abuse
Check if you local credit union offers a credit card with no fee (except the 1% conversion fee); mine does.
Report Abuse
Do you mean to draw cash on the credit card? That's the most expensive way possible. Does your bank allow your current account debit card to be used in overseas ATMs - that's the most effective way to get cash.
Report Abuse
Assuming you're from the USA, don't use a credit card issued by one of the following near criminal banks (although some of the banks listed may have some of their cards where they have recently dropped this asinine fee).
Bank of America
Wells Fargo
All of these banks on most of their cards add an additional 2% fee to the foreign transaction fee MC/Visa use (1%) to actually do the exchange. Your bank has nothing to do with the exchange and therefore no foreign currency fluctuation exposure but charge these fees anyway. As noted, some of the banks have specific ards where they don't charge so you have to check.
Get a credit card from Capital One which doesn't charge an additional fee and eats the 1% mc/visa fee.
Report Abuse
And even IF your cc charges 3% -- that is cheaper than your other options. You definitely don't want to carry cash and convert it in France -- then you'd see BIG fees.
One of my two visa's charge the universal 1% and the other charges 3% - and I use the 3%-er as my back up.
Report Abuse
The same rule applies for the ATM card, check with your local credit union. BofA charges $5 on every foreign withdrawal except with a member bank--in France it is BNP Paribas; my credit union uses the posted rate, as given for example by http://www.xe.com/ucc/.
Report Abuse
We have a Schwab credit card which has no currency conversion fees....posts exactly as XE.com exchange rate. It also gives 2% cash back!
Report Abuse
Not sure why you don't plan on using ATMs for the majority of your needs. I use CC for big items like hotels, car rentals,et..
Report Abuse
Capital One's Venture card does not charge the fee.
Report Abuse
Cap One and credit union cards are the ones to get. Cap One ATM cards also don't carry the fee. The Venture card is offering a big points/rewards incentive too.
And janisj is off on one thing -- if you carry cash and convert, you likely won't "see" the big fees, but effectively you will be charged them through a less advantageous (to you) exchange rate.
Report Abuse
I don't think janisj is off on that as you will see them unless you are a math nincompoop and don't even know what the exchange rate is. That is seeing them when you are quoted the rate when you can see how it differs than the interbank rate.
Cap One doesn't charge a foreign trans fee on any of their cards, so you have to pick the one that has the benefits and fees you prefer. The Venture Rewards card has their highest annual fee, I think, of $59. They have quite a few cards, though, they don't charge the foreign trans fee on any of them. They have lots of card choices with varying benefits and fees. The VentureOne card has no annual fee, but less generous benefits than the venture card, for example.
Report Abuse
Platinum American Express cards just announced that they no longer charge foreign transaction fees.
Report Abuse
Where did you see that, Tina? I have one of those, and was not even considering taking it to Europe. If that is the case, I may take it as a backup to my Cap One.
Report Abuse
Here's the info under the heading, "Shop Like a Local"
Report Abuse
I use my Citibank AAdvantage at home for everything, but Capital One in Europe, as they definitely don't charge the foreign trans.fee.
Report Abuse
After doing a little research, I just discovered our Chase Mileage Plus card has dropped all foreign transaction fees. Now have to figure out if I can use it to get cash and not have to use my Wells Fargo ATM.
Report Abuse
"And janisj is off on one thing -- if you carry cash and convert, you likely won't "see" the big fees, . . ."
Gosh - Can we say nit pick? -- I meant the high 'cost' of converting cash.
And, really, one likely would 'see' that in the small # of € they get in return.
Report Abuse
The percentage charged by your bank is way less than the fee/loss in exchange rate of any other means of getting foreign currency.
Agree to check options in your area - as well as the different rates offered by your bank. We use Citibank debit card on checking account (no MC or Visa) and don't pay 3% on top of basic transaction fee - but that may require that you do a certain amount of business with the bank.
Report Abuse
I use my Chase BA Visa - no foreign transaction fee. As others have said the notion that exchanging cash is cheaper than an of the credit cards that charge 3% is dead wrong.
Also no fee is when I use my BofA debit card at a partner bank to get cash.
Report Abuse
No fee to use my USAA debit card at any bank in France.

Re: Take the FICO Fitness Challenge!
I have come a long way. I had some major blemishes a few years back. The saying time heals all wounds definitely can be applied to my credit scores in May of 09 both TU and EQ were mid 500s.
current TU/EQ 598/654 as of Dec. 10th 2009
Goal for 2010 is to break into the 700s
My plan of action for achieving this is to pay off the remainder of credit card debt by the end of the first quarter of 2010. I have picked up a second job temporarily and this money goes strictly to debt. Once the credit card debt is gone. I will use only one card and pay it off monthly.

New military command structure and outsourcing initiatives
(Russian Federation)
An Analytical Review
Volume XVI, Number 13, 27 May 2010
New military command structure and outsourcing initiatives
Over the past year, Russian leaders have reformed many aspects of the military. On the organizational front, the military has removed one level of command and restructured into a three-tier command structure encompassing military districts, operational commands, and brigades. It also has transformed the majority of its regiments and divisions into 85 mobile brigades. On the personnel side, the military has decreased its active duty military down to one million personnel. In addition, the defense ministry has pledged to modernize 70% of the military's aging and decaying hardware by 2020. (1) So far, the ministry has committed $33 billion to the acquisition of modernized equipment over the next three years. (2) Although President Medvedev is pleased with the progress of reform, (3) Russia's defense leaders continue to press forward with new reform initiatives in military organization and basing structure.
On the organizational front, Russian defense sources have indicated that the defense ministry plans to consolidate the army's military districts and the navy's fleets into four operational-strategic commands (OSC). (4) Geographically divided, the four commands will be called North (HQ in Yekaterinburg), South (HQ in Rostov-na-Donu), East (HQ in Yekaterinburg) and West (HQ in St. Petersburg). (5) The northern OSC will consist of the Siberian military district, except for a number of units which are moving to the eastern OSC. (6) The southern OSC will include the North Caucasian military district, the Black Sea, and the Caspian fleets. (7) The eastern OSC will combine the Far East military district, the Pacific Fleet and a number of units in the Siberian military district. (8) The western OSC will consolidate the Moscow and Leningrad military districts and the Baltic fleet. (9)
The ministry of defense plans to consolidate six military districts and five naval fleets into the four operational-strategic commands by December 2010. (10) The consolidation of the fleets and military districts is a major undertaking that undoubtedly will face significant scrutiny. Former General Staff Chief Yuri Baluyevskiy attempted a similar consolidation effort that was ultimately declared a failure after he left the post in 2008. (11)
So far, Russia's military commanders have responded positively to the proposed change. According to Col-Gen Postnikov, commander-in-chief of the ground troops, "[the consolidation] is being considered as a way of increasing the functions of operational-strategic command in a war theatre." (12) Lt-Gen Bogdanovskiy, Leningrad Military District commander of troops said, "Establishing an interagency structure in a strategic area is an issue that is long overdue." (13) The consolidation appears to continue Defense Minister Serdyukov's effort to streamline Russia's post-Soviet military.
Since 2008, the Ministry of Defense has reduced the Russian officer corps from 355,000 to 150,000. (14) As part of the overall officer reduction, the consolidation of operational commands provides the defense ministry with an opportunity to draw down a number of senior officer billets. In addition, the new operational commands may deliver a more streamlined and effective command and control network between the army and the navy. However, the notable absence of the air force in the proposed consolidation may preclude any significant gains.
Although current military leaders initially have responded positively to the consolidation, one vocal pundit has not. According to Colonel Anokhin, vice president of the Academy of Geopolitical Problems, Defense Minister Serdyukov's "chief aim is the definitive destruction of the army that was based on Russian traditions." (15) Stakeholders in the current command structure, as well as entrenched institutional resistance may present significant challenges to the consolidation effort.
In addition to the operational-strategic command initiative, the defense ministry is implementing a new policy that consolidates many military compounds, while closing others. According to Deputy Defense Minister Naginskiy, the defense ministry already has allocated resources to build two of the new garrisons in the Moscow Military District and the Baltic Fleet. The larger garrisons will hold 15,000 to 20,000 service members and will be located 70-80 kilometers from the oblast centers so that officers will have access to the city during their off time. (16)
In addition, the new compounds will outsource their mess halls and guard services. (17) According to Col-Gen Bulgakov, the Rear Services Chief-Deputy Defense Minster, "all military units and military organizations will be fed using civilian organizations by 2015." (18) The military expects the newly contracted messing facilities and guard services to allow service members to focus on combat training instead of being distracted by additional duties.
In the Moscow Military District, Col-Gen Gerasimov said they "are now working on a program for optimization of military compounds." (19) The general indicated the new policy would consolidate a number of his 1,500 compounds into a few larger compounds near training ranges, beginning with the Mulino garrison in the Nizhniy Novgorod Region. (20) According to the general, he expects the new policy to produce significant savings due to reduced transportation, housing, and utility costs. (21)
The latest reform initiatives are small steps toward achieving President Medvedev's vision of "an efficient, compact but powerful, well trained army." (22) Clearly, many challenges await the latest ministry of defense reforms. The most significant challenge will be how and whether the air force, strategic missile forces, special forces and other military units such as the internal troops will be incorporated into the new strategic-operational command structure. Undoubtedly, the debate surrounding this latest reform effort will be worth observing over the coming months.

Uh yeah, if my nine year old son saw that he would think breastfeeding. probably because he knows that breasts are used for such. There's nothing wrong with teaching a boy, who will be a man one day and possibly a father that breasts are a way that babies can be fed.
Mom of two wonderful kiddos, turning the page and starting on a new chapter.
OP, I have you beat. I cover literally from head-to-toe, with nothing but my face and hands showing. I wear hijab.
I teach my daughter (and son, when he's a bit older) about modesty. I try to encourage them to be modest.
You know what happens when my daughter tells me "this person isn't dressed properly!" I tell her "then don't look at them."
NIP is no more immodest than our current society, BUT it is also "immodesty" with a goal: to feed a baby.
So if I were to pick a battle, it would be to remove those crass and revealing advertising campaigns I see everywhere. The huge billboards that cannot be avoided.
Definitely NOT NIP.

Women aren't a species. And thinking breasts are gross and need to be covered is demeaning. Especially making immature comments about it.
You'll have to speak up, I'm wearing a towel.
Still GOATing.....
How old are you, OP?
You know what I find trashy? Referring to breasts as tits, especially in the context of breastfeeding.

I have never seen this done. The longest I have ever seen a nursing woman's breasts was less than 20 seconds, when she didn't scamble frantically to cover herself in between delatching and puling her bra back over her breasts... and she was German, so probably less prudish and weird about body stuff than typical North Americans are.
So, I wouldn't care if a woman did what you describe, OP, but I have never seen it.
In general, breasts is the accepted term.
And breastfeeding is normal, natural, and fine anywhere and anytime.
Love, Mom
Buahahahaaaaa.......... this thread is familiar. Did you not have enough over on the BB OP?
