One day, orders will come and your soldier will be deployed for a time. A military deployment means that your soldier will be transferred to another place in the world to fulfill their contract of service. It will happen. There's no hiding that. Does this mean that they'll be placed in a place of danger? No. It merely means that they'll be away from you and the entire family. This is understandably quite often the single hardest thing a family can go through—everything from waiting for information to looking forward to every scrap of communication, no matter how small. You might even feel alone. But you're not. The Army family is a strong one, with deep reserves of community and care to support all families through this time. Next door is someone who's going through what you are or recently has. Across the street is someone else to be leaned on, talked with, or be there just to listen. In the Army family, you're never alone.
Family Readiness Groups
A Family Readiness Group (FRG) is an organization of family members, volunteers, soldiers and civilian employees belonging to an Army command. They provide support, assistance and a network of information among its members, the unit and community agencies. Unit FRGs consist of all assigned and attached soldiers, their spouses, children, extended families, fiancés, boyfriends or girlfriends and retirees. Even interested community members are welcome as well.
For spouses and family members, being active in an FRG will help give a sense of belonging to the unit and the Army community—the Army family. It will also provide you with a way to develop friendships, share important information, find needed Army resources and share moral support during any unit deployments. It is during the preparation for deployment, during the deployment itself, and in the homecoming that FRGs best show their full value.
The FRGs help every family to keep up to date on what is going on, and in addition to sharing information, the group chooses goals and activities centered on supporting soldiers and families. It's a great way to learn about your soldier's unit and his or her coworkers, to obtain accurate and up-to-date unit information, to meet with other spouses and to enjoy planned social activities. In many organizations, the FRG meets regularly, and some commands distribute newsletters to keep everyone informed.
Family Advocacy Program (FAP)
The FAP is dedicated to the prevention, prompt reporting, intervention, and treatment of spouse and child abuse. Programs under FAP assist commanders, soldiers and their families. These services include crisis intervention, educational training for prevention of spouse and child abuse, workshops focusing on prevention of domestic violence, parent information and referral assistance, and classes designed for different age groups to teach positive approaches to parenting. It also includes access to trained victim advocates who provide support, information, and referral resources to victims of family violence and sexual assault.
Family Separation Allowance
Being separated from your loved ones can take a much greater toll on a family than just an emotional one. To try to care for families during these trying times, there is the Family Separation Allowance (FSA). This is a benefit typically payable to soldiers with dependent family members when the soldier is required to be away from his or her family for greater than 30 days due to military orders. In order to be payable, the separation must be "involuntary," i.e., a dependent is not allowed to accompany the soldier at government expense. The rationale for Family Separation Allowance entitlement is that forced family separation results in added household expenses when the soldier is absent for a period greater than 30 days.

Sorry if that is a silly question! I'm seeing a maxillofacial surgeon soon but i wanted a general opinion. I have a long jaw & chin. I want mandibular setback surgery to make my lower face shorter and smaller. My bite is fine as it is now. Can I have mandibular setback surgery along with a le fort i osteotomy and maxillary setback(to shorten my midface)? Can these procedures be performed together? I would like to look like the girl in the pic. What type of surgery did she have? Thank you :)
Can I Have Mandibular Setback Surgery Even if I Don't Have Mandibular Prognathism?

{{ voteCount >= 0 ? '+' + (voteCount + 1) : (voteCount + 1) }}
IF you have a normal occlusion nor do you have mandibular prognathism, it would not be likely that you would undergo "double jaw" (upper and lower) setback.

Check out the date it was posted. I think it was a response to a thread about firing coaches. 12-15-2004 Ibar_Harry All Pro Join Date: Apr 2004 Posts: 1,187 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Three years is not every year. In fairness the 1st two years looked like the team was making progress and heading in the right direction. We ended last year on some very positive notes. We were in ball games having incurred a lot of injuries. We looked like a team who could really mature in the off season. This season, however, has been a dismal failure in many ways and, more importantly, the chemistry that we had last year has disappeared. The team is like a river barge that's lost its power source. We are headed for a big crash without any life boats. Fair assessment in retrospect.

My family loves fudge and they ask me to make it all the time, no matter the time of year. I was only making it around Christmas for some reason, but a few years ago I thought I would change the way it was made so it would fit in well with other holidays. That is how this Patriotic Fudge was born.
This is a take off a family favorite fudge recipe. I wanted to make it festive for this time of year so I changed a few things and it turned out perfect for a 4th of July celebration. This could easily be served at any party or celebration by simply changing the colors being used. I've used black and orange for Halloween, red and green for Christmas, and pastel colors for Easter. You could also use different colors to fit in with any party theme.
3 cups sugar
3/4 cup margarine
2/3 cup evaporated milk
12 oz bag white chocolate morsels
1 tsp vanilla
7 oz jar marshmallow cream
food coloring
Combine sugar, margarine and milk in saucepan. Bring to a full rolling boil, stirring constantly. Continue boiling 5 minutes over medium heat. Remove from heat and stir in white chocolate morsels until melted. Add vanilla and marshmallow cream. Beat until well blended. Pour into greased 13×9 baking pan saving 1 cup and dividing it between 2 small containers. Add food coloring until desired color is reached. Do it quickly so it doesn't set up too much.
Add random blobs of red and blue fudge to the white fudge. Run a knife through the fudge in one direction then the other until you get the pattern you like.
Cool at room temperature then cut into 24 squares.
Doesn't that look delicious? My family loves it and it's the perfect sweet treat for the holidays. You only need a small piece. Enjoy!

" Address: 15 Grand Parade / Town Centre / St. Leonards-On-Sea TN37 6DN / East Sussex "
Kassa Cafe is based in Hastings, East Sussex right on the coast near the centre of town. The nearest train station is St Leonards which is a 5 minute walk away, as is the town centre.
I really like this cafe for a few different reasons. One, it has a view of the sea and enough seats by the front windows to guarantee a sea view whenever you visit. Two, it has a cosy feel to it, with a few large bookcases full of books and plenty of big, squishy sofas. Three, the management and staff are always really friendly- they make an effort to speak to all the customers, they are usually chatting and laughing with each other, and on one occasion they actually went round the cafe giving all the customers sweets! Four, the cafe has a real buzz to it, as it is a hub for many people who know/like the staff, and various large groups seem to congregate there often.
The menu varies from time to time but staples are middle eastern dishes including hummus wraps and cous cous-based dishes. The cafe is also known for its hot chocolates which are topped with all kinds of delights. The food and drink at Kassa is good value for money, less than you'd pay at any chain cafe but of a more personal and fresh quality, as all the food is made there rather than shipped in in plastic wrappers. I had a hummus wrap with salad in it there once for £2.50 which was more of a snack rather than very filling but then middle eastern food can be like that. The wrap was certainly full of ingredients anyway! Another time I had a mixed platter with pitta bread for about £4, which was much more filling and a nice healthy dish at that.
I can't give the cafe 5 stars however, because it was tricky change my baby's nappy there- and I had to do it a few times, because I kept going back, because it's such a lovely place! The toilets are very small and they have hard floors. There is also not much for little ones, no toys or books or anything like that, however the manager said he was working on getting some child-friendly stuff for the cafe so it may have changed since I last went there. So if you like cosy decor, overflowing bookshelves, and super-friendly staff members, cushy sofas and a sea view, I highly recommend Kassa cafe. And if you're lucky you may even get a free sweet!

Although big red sage, Salvia pentstemonoides, was thought to be extinct in the 1950s, it was rediscovered growing in the Texas Hill Country in the 1980s and you can grow it in North Texas today.
Because it is so pretty and amenable to cultivation, it has entered the nursery trade, although it can be frustratingly hard to find.
Big red sage is a well-behaved garden plant and blooms from June through the fall. The 1.5- to 2-inch flowers appear on spikes that grow above the foliage and are deep-red to purplish-red in color.
The plant has a pleasant citrus fragrance and is deer resistant. It self-seeds, but not prolifically, and can be propagated through cuttings.
Big red sage is a hummingbird magnet and attracts butterflies. It may be pruned in the late fall after it finishes flowering and will die back to a rosette after a freeze. New growth recurs in the spring.
In nature, big red sage is only found on banks along streams and on seeps on limestone ledges in the central Edwards Plateau. In North Texas, big red sage usually grows 18 to 36 inches wide and 30 to 48 inches tall. Its 4- to 6-inch leaves are deep green, elongated and glossy, looking similar to penstemon leaves, which explains its botanical name. Big red sage was first described by the great Texas botanist Ferdinand Lindheimer in the 1840s.
Big red sage thrives in partial and dappled shade, although with more water, it can be grown in full sun. It tolerates a range of soil pH. It should be given supplemental water during its first season in the garden.
After it is established, it is moderately drought tolerant. During a summer dry spell, big red sage will need to be watered deeply as often as once every 10 days depending on the temperature. Like many Texas natives, the plant should have adequate drainage; it will not tolerate "wet feet."
Look for the NICE! Plant of the Season signs and information sheets on your next visit to a participating North Texas nursery. Participating nurseries include Four Seasons Nursery, Meador Nursery and Painted Flower Farm, all in Denton; Shades of Green Nursery in Frisco and Schmitz Garden Center in Flower Mound. Thank you for using native plants.

Well Being
Gwyneth Paltrow And Tracy Anderson Worry That Your Exercise Is Making You Fat
Gwyneth Paltrow's GOOP newsletter usually causes the most outrage when it's chock full of expensive product suggestions or advice on work-life balance from women who can afford personal chefs. But I have even more to say about today's topic: "Is Your Workout Making You Fat?" The letter is a plug for Gwyneth's personal trainer, Tracy Anderson; an "expert" whose advice on weight loss for moms and exercise to transform your body type tends is fairly infamous for being body negative and, in many cases, lacks any basis in science. The advice that she's spouting via Gwyneth suffers both pitfalls.
The six-word title almost says everything you need to know: That the post is body-negative, and is going to be filled with alarmist information to make you feel like you should throw away your running shoes/workout dvd/dumbells/personal trainer package and stick with Tracy Anderson's workouts, instead. But the pseudoscience in the newsletter is worth calling out, so…here we go!
The post is in the form of questions from Gwyneth and "various cohorts" about diet and workouts, and answers from Anderson, whose workout products are plugged before we even get to the first question. Throughout the Q&A, workout and diet effectiveness seems to be measured in terms of how skinny it will make us. Period.
For example: The first question is all about whether exercising on an empty stomach will burn more fat. Anderson correctly explains that most people will get a shitty workout if they don't properly fuel themselves, but her answer also implies that the only reason we'd want to work out is to burn fat and get skinny:
Those who aren't high-energy exercise performers and can't make it through at least 45 minutes of intense cardio aren't going to make it to the point where their bodies would begin to burn fat effectively on an empty stomach. What normally happens is that they feel weak, and the workout ends up being a waste of time.
She goes on to suggest fueling workouts with high-protein snacks instead of high-carb foods to promote fat burning, which might be good advice if that's your only goal. But what if you're trying to build strength, endurance, or just enjoy a good workout for the sake of staying active?
She's not the trainer for you, that's what. She makes it quite clear in the next question, about why some women gain weight when they train for marathons:
While running and cycling may burn calories, they do not design feminine muscles or get rid of an imbalance that may masquerade as a "problem area"—even on women who are genetically thin.
She's careful not to blast marathoners completely. ("Running a marathon is a real and measurable accomplishment, but if you're looking to lean out and lose weight, training to complete 26.2 miles isn't going to give you the physical results you crave," she says. "After you cross that finish line, choose a program that reflects your goals.") But she's making it clear that her purpose is to fit her clients meet her aesthetic ideals.
Want more proof? She only recommends weight lifting and kettle bells for men, because it builds "bulky" muscles, and that's apparently not attractive:
While bulkier muscle looks OK on women in their 20s and 30s, it doesn't age well. The sooner you build a long, lean, and feminine arm, the more sustainable the results will be—and with no sacrifice in strength.
For the vast majority of women, science says it's pretty hard to "bulk up" the way Anderson warns against. Science also says that strength training is one of the best ways to speed up metabolism and, more importantly, build stronger bones–which is arguably more important than worrying about how your muscles will look after age 40.
Anderson's workouts might be a perfectly good way to build muscle and get moving, but her attitude towards health and wellness just doesn't sit well with me. Making women feel like their efforts are worthless if they don't lead to weight loss and the same body shape as her celebrity clients just isn't healthy, if you ask me.

Mark your calendar. Jan. 28, 2013, will be known as "Mayor Mike Holtz Day" in Robbinsdale.
The announcement came after a proclamation in Holtz's honor was read during the Jan. 8 council meeting. Councilmembers shared stories and thanked Holtz during the last meeting he conducted as mayor Dec. 18.
"He [Holtz] has 32 years of dedicated service to the City of Robbinsdale," Councilmember Pat Backen said.
Prior to becoming mayor in 1997, Holtz was Ward 3 representative for 16 years on the council. He also served on numerous city and county boards including the Human Rights Commission, Parks and Recreation Commission, French Park Advisory Committee, Highway 100 Council and the Bottineau Boulevard Commission.
"He created and fostered engagement in Robbinsdale with his leadership," Backen said.
"In 32 years, he has helped improve and enrich Robbinsdale neighborhoods. His service on the city council is coming to a close, but we expect him to be involved with the city for years to come."
Councilmember Bill Blonigan has served on the city council with Holtz since 1981 and said it had been his pleasure.
"You've represented the city very competently and in a very distinguished manner," he said to Holtz. "Other cities think of you with the utmost of respect."
The way Holtz has conducted business in the city has earned him the respect of Councilmember Dan Rogan as well. Rogan, who's served on the council for eight years, said what he's been impressed with most is how Holtz was always willing to give someone a chance to talk.
"I think that's a great thing you've done," he said. "It makes Robbinsdale better and gives people an opportunity to be heard. You've been very approachable and have created a culture where people feel like they have an opportunity to be heard by staff and call you up as mayor. Thirty-two years is a long time to have your number out there and anyone in Robbinsdale can pick up the phone and bend your ear about something."
"You've really been a face of Robbinsdale, you always put Robbinsdale first no matter what," Backen added. "You are always looking at what is in the best interest or Robbinsdale, and that's not easy."
Backen said that the job of a councilmember is an interesting one because every four years, you have to ask for your job back.
"Thirty-two years is a long time to do anything," he said. "Eight times people have said you've been the right man for the job. That's a huge compliment to you and what you've done."
Emotions ran high for members of the council and George Selman said Holtz has been instrumental in showing him the ropes of the job.
"We met 25 years ago at the JC's," he said. "You got me involved with things and I took baby steps. It went a long way. You were like a big brother to me and you still are. As I thought about what to say tonight, 'thank you' are the only words I can come up with."
Holtz made the decision to not run for re-election last fall and, at first, the only person he told was City Manager Marcia Glick. He said he hasn't thought much about the decision since.
"I made the decision and lived with it," he said. "Am I going to miss it? I'm 64 … I've been here 32 years. That's half of my life. That's a lot of Tuesdays. Half of the Tuesdays of my life."
He said he appreciated the people of Ward 3 back in 1981 for giving him the first opportunity to get involved with the council.
"Here I am 32 years later and enjoying every minute of it," he said. "Not one time would I do it any differently. It's been a pleasure."

Levee district hopes to add 3 pumps
Hurricane protection not complete on east bank
Michael Luke - Apr 20, 2006
In the never ending battle the parish faces against the forces of Mother Nature, the Pontchartrain Levee District is projecting a need to add to 3 pumps to the hurricane levee along the shores of the lake.
The need for the pumps is being identified through the St. Charles Urban Flood Control Feasibility Study; a $5.4 million study being conducted with the levee district and the Army Corps of Engineers to finalize the requirements for the additional pumps along the east bank hurricane levee.

BOURBONNAIS, Ill. – A monster double-double effort from junior forward Maria Tamburrino and stout defense against a quick-strike offensive side propelled the Roosevelt women's basketball team to a critical 92-88 road win over 12th-ranked Olivet Nazarene at McHie Arena on Wednesday night.
Tamburrino posted game-highs of 27 points and 14 rebounds for her 10th double-double of the year for Roosevelt (19-5, 14-3 CCAC), which moved a half game into sole possession of first place in the conference standings with the victory.
Casey Davis added a double-double of her own with 12 points and 13 boards, while Erin McCaslin scored 17 off the bench thanks to five treys. Rookie reserve Devin Talley added 16.
Ashley Wilson and Danielle Tolbert each scored 13 points for the Tigers (17-4, 13-2 CCAC).
The win was the fourth all-time over a nationally-ranked program for the Lakers and the second decision over a Top 25 foe this season. Both such victories were against the Tigers, who were ranked 13th back on Nov. 24, when the Lakers picked up a 112-96 win in Chicago.
The quick shots, frenetic pace and full-court presses that were on display in the first meeting between the two teams was in full view once again, and like that first meeting in November, it was Roosevelt that came away victorious thanks to Tamburrino's offense (identical 27-point outputs) and defense that forced the Tigers into poor shooting.
Olivet Nazarene was held to 27 percent shooting this time around, as the hosts made just 28 of their whopping 103 attempts from the floor.
The game was back and forth most of the way, and the Lakers built up a six-point lead after a McCaslin three and a bucket from Tamburrino just before the two-minute mark. Olivet cut its deficit to three with a little over a minute remaining in regulation, but the Roosevelt defense held and induced a pair of late Tiger turnovers to seal the win.
The Lakers survived 44 turnovers of their own during the game, with 48 percent shooting from the field and a slight rebounding advantage (64-60) also aiding their cause.
"Our players played their hardest for 40 minutes and we were able to steal a big road win," said Roosevelt head coach Robyn Scherr-Wells. "We struggled with a few too many turnovers, but our girls never got too frustrated. We shot a great percentage on the game, and I thought we played really good defense in the second half.
"Maria gave us exactly what we needed," Scherr-Wells said of Tamburrino. "She played so hard that I thought we might have to carry her off the floor when the buzzer sounded. Devin and Erin made huge buckets for us throughout the game, and Tori [Clark], Jennie [Van Hook] and Becky [Williford] were tough as nails being our primary ball handlers against their press.
"It was a phenomenal team win. "
Roosevelt seeks its historic 20th victory of the season, which would be a first in program history, next Wednesday, Jan. 30 against Trinity Christian in Palos Heights, Ill. That game begins at 5:30 p.m.

About a week ago, Google quietly added Lao to its underappreciated Google Translate tool, bringing its total number of languages to 65. Personally, Google Translate will always have a special place in my heart: during a particularly late night working on an essay for a college Spanish class (I believe the prompt had something to do with environmental issues in Central America), flipping through a paper dictionary to find the Spanish translation of systemic biocomplexity (biocomplejidad sistémica, by the way) was just not an option.
I suspect language teachers have long rued the proliferation of free internet translation, but I'm not convinced they should be worried. As a reference tool, translation sites have an obvious use. If you're going to look up a word in a dictionary anyway, you might as well use Google Translate to speed up the process. In fact, students are probably more likely to look a word up now that it's so much more accessible, for better or worse. And for now, at least, the gap between human translation and internet translation is wide enough to be a noticeable flaw. For example, the first sentence of this paragraph, translated into Russian and then back to English again, reads: "I suspect the language teachers have long cursed the distribution of free online translation, but I'm not convinced that they should be concerned about"—close, but not quite.
Which brings us to this week, and news that Ashton Kutcher-backed start-up Duolingo is pursuing the insanely awesome goal of translating the entire internet and teaching people languages for free. Duolingo gives students sentences taken from the web in the language that they are trying to learn—depending on your language level, Duolingo finds you simple or complicated sentences, and has a whole bunch of help tools when you can't figure out what exactly a 豬排 is (pork chop, for future reference ).
It's an interesting idea that harnesses the best of the old maxim "many hands make light work." By Duolingo's estimate, one million people could translate all four million-plus English Wikipedia pages to Spanish in 80 hours. Of course, you can't learn a language by reading and writing it, so Duolingo can also play audio of words you want to hear them aloud. Speaking? Well, you're on your own there, althoughat Technapex we're quite fond of Verbling. Or you could just go to class.

A Cemetery
Controversy - St. Stephen's vs. St. Mary's
The officers of the society
wished to be independent of the ecclesiastical control and
had formed an independent corporation refusing to give the
deed of the property to the Bishop of the diocese.
Accordingly, Bishop Spaulding and Father Otto {Tair, the
pastor of St. Boniface} refused to consecrate the new
burial grounds, known as St. Stephen's Cemetery, unless
the deed was duly surrendered to ecclesiastical
Turbulent scenes and
demonstrations followed. On September 12, 1851, a
crowd of some six hundred gathered in front of St.
Boniface Church, and considering the excitement and high
tension, could have easily been led to excesses. The
wrath of the members of the society was leveled especially
at Mr. Goss, who preferred yet another site for cemetery
purposes, the present St. Michael's Cemetery, and who was
accused of inciting the Bishop against the society.
The members refused unanimously to hand over the deed,
which, they said, would mean the end of all free burials
of the poor.
As was to be expected, some
of the parishioners took sides with the rebellious
faction, and a divided parish resulted. Even some of
the trustees of the church cast their lot with the
malcontents, tainted, undoubtedly, with some of the
radical spirit rampant among the Forty-Eighters,
revolutionary refugees from Germany. Those trustees,
who went over to the disobedient society were deposed by
the Bishop, and new ones appointed in their stead.
This was a cause of a new deedifying scene. On the
Sunday following the appointment of their successors,
during the course of the services, words were exchanged in
the church itself between the new and the deposed trustees
that turned into a brawl. A charge of disturbing
church services was brought against the discontents, but
was later dismissed.
The cemetery was placed
under interdict and the Catholics threatened by the Bishop
with ecclesiastical censure if they permitted any of the
faithful to be buried there. the first to be
interred was Peter N. Lorenz, a school teacher. On
Sunday, October 19, 1851, his remains were borne to the
cemetery by a vast concourse of people, estimated at three
thousand, not al necessarily Catholics, but all infected
with the rebellious spirit of the radical German element
in Louisville. Since no Catholic priest could be
had, the president and secretary of the society conducted
the funeral services and held discourses.
The society was later known as the St. Stephen's Cemetery
Society and when on October 17, 1852, it celebrated its
first anniversary by a pilgrimage to the interdicted
burial grounds, it numbered one hundred and forty members.
It still existed twenty years later and the cemetery can
still be seen on South Preston and Rawlings Street.

With a commendable bow toward candor, Honeywell released its civil helicopter market outlook at Heli-Expo by qualifying the results of its survey: "The 2003 market outlook presents a snapshot of the market at a point in time and does not reflect unforeseen events such as an unexpected economic contraction, sharp increases in fuel costs, a fuel crisis, imposition of heavy user fees or other unfavorable regulations/taxes that could affect results in future years. Demand for new helicopters is highly price sensitive. Decisions by aircraft manufacturers to offer discounts or raise prices can significantly influence sales activity on affected models." In other words: "Here's the latest data. What happens next is nearly anybody's guess."
Unlike the Rolls-Royce study, Honeywell's focuses mainly on the next five years, although it does make some 10-year predictions. Honeywell foresees deliveries of about 2,600 new helicopters during the five-year period 2003 to 2007, an increase of 100 units, or 4 percent, over the 2,500 shipped during the period 1998 to 2002. The survey reflects a compounded growth rate of 3 percent and estimates total deliveries of 5,400 aircraft through 2012.
Chief market drivers are law enforcement and air medical services operations, which together are expected to account for more than 50 percent of new helicopter applications during the next five years. This data comes from Honeywell's fifth purchase expectations survey, and was based on responses from 926 chief pilots and flight department managers worldwide during the fourth quarter of last year.
Near-term stability in new turbine helicopter demand will be driven by market interest in new and derivative models entering service, higher purchase expectations for new helicopters used in homeland defense and border patrol roles and stable residual values of used aircraft, according to Honeywell. A modestly favorable outlook for world economic growth is also a contributing factor, although this is certainly threatened by prospects of war in the Middle East.
On the other hand, the survey indicated that the market for new rotorcraft will become significantly weaker; less than 30 percent of the helicopter models operators mentioned for future purchase were for "all-new or derivative aircraft." This is down from prior surveys, in which 40 to 50 percent of model mentions fell in the new classification. The latest survey also indicates little trade-up expectation. Some 80 percent of new purchases, according to the respondents, will be to replace older aircraft in the same size or capability and price class. In addition, about 10 percent of operators expected to trade down to less expensive and capable models.
Honeywell's survey also notes that civil turbine-helicopter deliveries declined last year compared with 2001 and are expected to decline modestly this year as well. Furthermore, purchase interest for the latter years of the five-year period are significantly higher than during the first years, indicating there will be no surge in near-term demand.
Operators worldwide continue to express a strong preference for light single-engine helicopters, naming this class 50 percent of the time, up six percentage points from a year ago. North American and Latin American operators both prefer light singles over any other category, although the operators south of the border shifted some interest from light singles to light twins.
Expectations for the future purchase of light-twin helicopters during the next five years fell sharply and unexpectedly, from 30.7 percent in the 2001 survey to 18.6 percent. The sharpest falloff in demand was in Europe, where expectations turned to intermediate twins and light singles.
New intermediate twin-engine helicopters as a class received the second-highest five-year purchase expectation ranking, rising to 28.2 percent of all mentions in the survey, an increase of 4.5 percentage points over the 2001 outlook. North American operators were the least interested in this segment (18 percent) while operators in Asia, Oceana, Africa and the Middle East showed the greatest interest (close to 50 percent).
Although overall interest in heavy-lift helicopters increased from 1.7 percent to 3 percent worldwide, this class continued to show the lowest purchase expectations relative to the other classes. Stronger demand for this class of aircraft, Honeywell noted, often stems from governmental or parapublic sources, which are outside the scope of its survey.

I was never as charmed by Michael Tolliver as Maupin was, but I did think the end of the original series was some of Maupin's best writing --
-- in that his friendship with Mary Ann ended sadly and with some bitterness on his part. That felt realistic and unsentimental, as did stripping some of the luster off Mrs. Madrigal; by the end of the sixth book, she was just an old woman whose way of life, it was clear, was not long for the modern world.
The two follow-up books of recent years -- the Tolliver book and the Mary Ann book -- pretty much showed Maupin should have left well enough alone.

The first book was released 35 years ago. I don't think the standards by which great literature is judged have risen so much in those years. If anything our standards have fallen.

The original miniseries was incredible, one of my favorite mid-90s memories. It was the highest show ever on PBS, but the Republican fundies whined so much PBS dropped plans to do a sequel. Which would've been as good as the original since it would've retained the original's cast.
The cunt who wrote "Serial" totally ripped off Maupin's Tales, and that was bad enough, but even worse was her version is homophobic. To rip off a gay man's work and turn it homophobic is really beyond the pale.

I'll probably never be able to trace this quote so I won't bother but I remember back in the days of the black power movement an author saying it was important for black authors to write what they had to say and not worry about whether or not it was "good" literature. "Tales of the City" was revolutionary in that it was gay lit that made it on the mainstream bestseller lists and was made into a PBS series. It certainly played its part in helping straight America work the stick out of its ass regarding the LGBT community.

I remember reading the series one after the other one summer in the 90's and just loving it! I felt as though they were my best friends and was sad when I finished the last book. Once the PBS version came out, I felt the exact same way. I remember seeing Armistead at the Beach Blanket Babylon's 25th anniversary show and telling him we need to get part two made. Obviously, he realized my sage advice was worth persuing and thus the Showtime series came into play, lol...

They didn't start out trying to be any kind of lit, though. It was a light serial in a newspaper.
That he threw in "realistic" things like the souring of relationships is a perfect example of Maupin's gradually taking himself way too seriously. The people who made Tales an incredible success didn't do it because they had no access to Tolstoy. They loved it because it was a lighthearted look at life in their city. That it mutated into a testament to Maupin's suddenly mythical genius with character is not to its credit.

Jonestown was mentioned in "The Night Listener" too. His secretary and her lesbian moms and brother had left right before the final white night there. I imagine that Maupin must have maybe known Jones or at least friends of his, like Jerry Brown or Harvey Milk.

I have to admit I've been a little bit excited about this week's theme because it gives me the perfect excuse to twirl about in one of my favourite pieces, my Youtheary Khmer skirt that I got via ModCloth. I also have it in pink, you might remember it from my time in New York. It's still one of my favourite outfits so you know how it goes… buy it in every colour!
I received an awesome package from TS14+ and Virtu last week and as soon as I opened it I knew straight away that the gemstone print top would go perfectly. I adored the print (lets face it, it's so me!) but I was unsure of the shape so tucking it in made the most sense. I love the length of the sleeve and adding a belt just polished the whole look.
Usually I go a little over the top with jewellery but with the busy print and bold coloured skirt I thought it best to tone it down with silver metallic. Shimmery flats, glittering vintage Glomesh purse and a belt to tie it all together. Isn't the colour of the skirt amazing!
You might have noticed my hair has gotten just a touch longer… ok, a lot longer. I haven't worn my hair extensions since the Ladies Race Day, it's just been too hot and I'm still getting the hang of putting them in and caring for them. They do make me feel ultra glamorous though and it's fun to change up my look from time to time and despite my current love affair for all dresses short and sweet, the same goes for maxi skirts.

What is it about this years' crop of kids who took the G&T tests? 50% more kindergartners scored in the 99th percentile then in the last two years. Are these kids prepping better? Are they just smarter?
Either way, the five city-wide programs aren't enough to accommodate all the children. According to Pamela Wheaton, founder of Inside Schools, "there are fewer than 400 seats for incoming kindergartners. And qualifying siblings of current students get first dibs at those seats. At The Anderson School, 16 of the 50 kindergarten seats will go to siblings. At NEST+M, siblings will get about 15 of the 100 seats; at Brooklyn School of Inquiry, there are 12 qualifying siblings and four at STEM in Queens."
According to Wheaton's article: "Next year the DOE will replace one of the two G&T tests — the Bracken School Readiness Assessment — with the Naglieri Nonverbal Ability Test. In the Bracken, children identify shapes and colors. The Naglieri emphasizes cognitive ability and children must identify patterns and sequences. In another change, scoring will be adjusted to be more balanced between the two assessments, a spokesperson said. Now, the OLSAT counts for 75 percent of the score and the Bracken, only 25 percent."

Whenever we talk about helping those in need, there's a tendency to set up a false dichotomy of us versus them. Keeps the road between us long and the weeds tall so that we can tell ourselves they were never us, and we could never become them.
My message today is brief:
In this season of giving, there are more Americans going hungry than in any time in recent history. If you're not worried about putting food on your table, please ask your friends and loved ones to skip your present and, instead, give the gift of a meal in your name.
No matter where you live in this country, there is a food pantry near you. To find one, go online, or call a library or house of worship in your neighborhood.
I'm done talking. Here are some of the people — in their own words — who depend on pantries served by the Cleveland Foodbank. They wrote messages on paper plates, about 1,500 so far, to be delivered to state legislators in Columbus:
"I've been working for over 25 years and never needed any kind of help. I've lost my job two months ago and if this food pantry wasn't available we'd be hungry at least 1 week at the end of the month. Please keep up, so people like myself have it in their time of need. Thank you."
"I have two people in my house unemployed unable to find work. I work at Wendy's for very little money but just enough to make me ineligible for help. I also have a 151/2 year old. The food assist is great because the money I save not buying food I can use toward my bills & rent. I am fortunate to be up to date on bills and rents thanks to this program. Thank you. Times are very hard on everyone. Thanks."
"Well I have been a welder for 20 years. Unfortunately the career I chose hasn't been favorable for employment, so I come to this food center for food assistance as well as the nice people, sometimes a hot meal and a very friendly, welcoming staff! I had to cut back to keep up! I have enrolled in school and where this year wasn't that great, guess what? There's always tomorrow!"
"The food pantry is greatly appreciated to me and my family. I work 2 part-time jobs and garbage scrap just to make ends meet."
"Found a job with less pay. Wife became handicap. Started looking at flea markets, used clothing stores and free medical. Lost my job of 32 years and got no pension health or medical benefits with children at home."
"I got laid off in Florida, came here to Ohio — got laid off. I have a bachelor's degree and still can't get a job. My son is diabetic and I take care of my disabled mother. The food bank has been my Savior. Without them I don't know what I would do."
"I found a job it's part time 8-10 hours a wk. min. wage. This food pantry is so helpful, it helps. I decided to volunteer to help."
"I am a single mom of three and on disability. Since I started receiving disability my food stamps were cut in half. This place has been a life saver for me and my boys. I can't drive because of disability and can't eat anywhere else. Thank you."
"Just started working minimum wage job can't make ends meet. Get sick, its medicine or food. The pantry helps because I will be able to save a little every month and hopefully become self-sufficient."
"My unemployment has run out. I am 60 years old and no one will hire me in my job field or any other job — rent runs out November and will be on the street in our van."
"Can't afford our health insurance anymore, will have to cancel in January 2011. Disconnection notices on utilities. Behind on our mortgage. At least get some food from the food bank. My husband and I are both working. Can't survive anymore."
"For people living in this zip code, many of us had good careers. But due to illness our things of that nature we live here. We feel blessed that other communities help with these pantries. We are all important even if we are poor. Thanks for caring."
Somewhere near you, families are struggling with hunger.

Wild Terra
It is action-RPG and sandbox hybrid with building, crafting, gathering, farming and land claiming elements. There is no NPCs in game so the only way to get something is to create it by yourself or trade from other players... or take it with brutal force. However we understand that not every one have enough time to "live" in game doing everything by their selves that is why all game processes are boosted to make game a little bit casual.
We can say this about your character development as well. It is very boring to level up your character to XX-level just to take a good sword in hands and start to fight. There would be leveling anyway however it would grant you small additional benefits in combats but not major domination.

I have three children
My daughter, Abrielle Ada, originally went by "Abby" after my great grandmother I never met. Ada after hubby's great grandmother who turns 110 in July!
My son, Kalazen Lyric, goes by "Kalan". I love the name Kalan and Hubby loved Zen so we put them together. His middle name is because both hubby and I are major music lovers. I am a writer and hubs is a bass and guitar player. We used to write love notes through music lyrics. Lyric fit best.
My son, Seviien Phoenix, goes by "Seven". We wanted to stick with the three syllable first name and Hubby REALLY loved how Seven sounded. So I made up Seviien as a full name because of the VII Roman numerals for 7. I loved it way more than Severen. Phoenix is a creature known for rising from its ashes and bursting into new life. My husband and I went through a very hard time in our life and went through many losses and hardships. This sweet boy was our 'new life'.
Proud Mama of three little cupcakes...
Abrielle Ada
Kalazen Lyric

1. Lydia Page : always liked the name Lydia, and Page is after my best friend..who would be her aunt
2. Leah Jeanette: always liked the name/biblical story of Leah..Jeanette honors my great-grandma who was the only one who supported my mom in a hard time in her life and it also honors my first grade teacher Janet, who was murdered not long after I had her..she greatly impacted my life..
3. Aria Quinn : Aria b/c my Italian heritage and Quinn doesn't have much significance other than I like it.
4. Troian Isobel : Troian combines parts of names of a few people I'd like to honor, and i really like Isobel.
1. Peter Eliot : Peter sort of honors/is a translation of my surname, and i'd get to still 'carry it on' this way when i get married in the future. Eliot is after a cousin of mine and after a book i read in elementary school called "Eliott's Code" or something like that, about a boy using braille (sorry if i spelled that wrong), and I've always liked it ever since.
2. Paul Gregory: I really like Paul and the biblical aspects of it...and c'mon, how cool would it be to meet a little Paul? Gregory honors a teacher i had in the past who has had to overcome some serious obstacles in his life and he also impacted my life because of it
3. Luke Mackenzie: I like Luca more, but Luke isn't bad...and Mackenzie because it sort of honors my roots (I'm a little bit of everything seems like) and my sister Macayla (the Mac- connection), and I like the idea of Mackenzie being back on the boys side, at least as a mn.
4. Anthony Nicholas "Nico": I'm toying with this. I picked it b/c long story short, my mother liked this name but wasn't allowed by my bio dad to use it...so I decided I would use it because she really liked it. But when i brought it up to her the other day, she didn't seem to thrilled...especially about the Nico nn...so I don't know..
Well, that's my top four for each at the moment hahaAlyssaTTC #1 since 2/16

We only have one daughter.
Amelie Clara: Amelie because I thought it was chic, sophisticated, feminine, classy...Basically everything I wanted in a name. Luckily after some convincing my husband agreed. Clara for a much loved family member on my DH's side. While I pretty much hated Clara when we named her (bad personal association growing up) I've grown to love it and I'm very glad we chose it, as its very special and important to my DH and sounds good with Amelie.
Current favourites for baby #2:
1. Daisy Madeline. Daisy as its a name I've always loved, and it honours my Godmother who we are very close to, and myself, as Daisy's are our birth month flower. Madeline because we feel its stylistically similar to Clara.
2. Rosalie Kate. Rosalie simply because I love it, I think it goes well with Amelie and is very pretty. It has great literary connections and is timeless. Kate for my DH's sister.
3. Lucy Annabel. Lucy simply because we love it, its a classic and I can really see us with a little Lucy. Annabel to honour an Annie who is very dear to us, and it also honours me.
4. Evelyn Primrose. Evelyn because we love the nickname Evie and I think its a classic. Primrose to honour my husband as primrose is his birth month flower.
And the boys..
1. Noah Samuel. Noah because I feel its every a boys name should be - Timeless, masculine, classy and strong. Bonus points for good literary connections and a long history. Samuel for my Uncle Sam.
2. Henry Daniel. Henry because we love it and its a strong, core classic that would suit a man or boy of any kind. Daniel for my DH.
3. William Elliott. William because I love the nn Liam and once again, its a core classic. Elliott for a relative we love very much.
4. Isaac Roman. Isaac because we love it, its strong and has a lot of history. Roman simply because we love it and it honours family.
Basically, all first names are simply names we love. Middles are for honouring family.

Curried Squash And Chicken Soup
Red Thai curry paste adds heat and depth of flavor to this simple soup. If you like, omit the chicken and spinach to make an even simpler first-course soup.
- 1 frozen pureed winter squash
- 1/2 cup lite coconut milk (see Tips for Two)
- 1/2 cup water
- 8 oz. boneless, skinless chicken breast, thinly sliced
- 1 baby spinach
- 2 tsp. lime juice
- 2 tsp. brown sugar
- 1/2-1 tsp. Thai red curry paste (see Note)
- 1/4 tsp. salt
Recipe Directions:
Heat squash, coconut milk and water in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the squash defrosts, about 10 minutes. Add chicken, reduce heat to medium and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 3 minutes. Stir in spinach, lime juice, sugar, curry paste to taste and salt and continue cooking until the chicken is cooked through, about 3 minutes longer.
Serving Ideas:
Tips for Two: Refrigerate coconut milk for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 2 months. Drizzle on sliced fresh fruit; use as some of the liquid for cooking rice. Note: Red curry paste is a blend of chile peppers, garlic, lemongrass and galanga (a root with a flavor similar to ginger). Look for it in jars or cans in the Asian section of the supermarket or specialty stores.

Exmouth's Bridge brothers take podium spots at French event
PUBLISHED: 10:57 01 May 2014 | UPDATED: 10:57 01 May 2014
Exmouth's Bridge brothers take all three podium places in European Freestyle championships.
Exmouth's kite boarding brothers Tom, Guy and Oliver Bridge shared the podium at the end of the 10th Junior European freestyle Championships held over three days in St. Pierre la Mer, France.
Young kite surfers from all over Europe gather for this annual showdown of trickery and each year the level of riding gets higher.
The event started with the 9-13years contesting a Dingle elimination that saw Tom bridge (9-13 year section) put together some great scoring tricks.
Conditions were challenging with huge gusts wiping them off the water and making it tricky to do anything to lulls in the wind that left competitors struggling to stay upwind!
After four heats the youngest Bridge had done sufficient to contest the final with his former team mate, Spaniard Javier Jimenez. For the third year running bridge prevailed to secure the top honour.
Oliver Bridge, competing in the 16-19 year age group, served up some big powered moves, but this was not enough to beat his first opponent from Holland and he was left to prepare for day two of the event.
Guy Bridge produced the surprise of the whole day staying in the ladder all the way through to the final of the 14-15 year category. He produced some stunning kite boarding and produced a semi-final performance befitting of a champion. In the final he came up against the Spanish Youth champion and was eventually placed third.
Day two saw Olly Bridge begin things off in the double elimination. The oldest of the Bridge boys has a decent competition strategy and his experience showed. After four hours of competition he made it through to the men's final where he faced Dutch rival Van Der Meis and French opponent Guillerbert. Bridge, the current Men's European Race champion, was forced to settle for a third place finish.
While the freestyle racing was taking place the youngest Bridge, Tom, was practising his race skills on the Boarder Cross course. This involves jumping over long inflatable objects in the water and round buoys in a race knockout with four other opponents. Fast, fun and exciting with lots of crashes and Tom also managed to win his category in this discipline!
Now back in England the three Bridge boys have been busy practising off Exmouth back training and preparing for their next event – in Egypt!
The boys get support from Edge watersports, the Cranford Club, Xcel Wetsuits and Volvo cars. Discover more at www.team-bridge.com or www.edgewatersports.com

Donald Trump vs. Cher in Twitter Feud, Calls Her a "Total Loser"
In Donald Trump's world, there's losers and then there's Rosie O'Donnell-level losers. And according to The Donald, music icon Cher is right up there with 'The View's' former host when it comes to being "out of touch with reality" and a "total loser." Guess we won't be seeing these two on 'Celebrity Apprentice' anytime, ever.
So, what got Cher on Donald Trump's bad side?

My daughter is 5.5 and has never been vaxed. Are there any vaccinations that you feel are neccessary? If so, which ones?
Tetnus is on my mind right now. Last week my daughter got a small wound on her hand in the back yard. My mother and grandparents are very concerned over our decision not to vaccinate. We are under fire by our family and actually have made an appointment to get our daughter a tetanus shot on Friday..... how easily can one actually get this, and are there any that we should consider getting? our families are making us second guess ourselves........ Any thoughts? she is so bright and has been the healthiest kid around (we believe this is partly due to never having had a shot)))))) thank you, Dana Riggs ((( we cancelled the tet shot and did NOT get it :) ))))
Still unvaccinated!!!!!!
Hoping this article will be helpful in making your choice...
i can't lay out all the info you'd need for this decision, but my general advice to unvaxed school age kids (or their parents, rather) is that vaccines at this point aren't that necessary. Fatal cases of diseases at this age and older is VERY rare. Most fatalities occur during infancy. So, if you skipped vaccines back then, there isn't much point to doing them NOW. BUT, this advice is only based on considering what vaccines are important for her as an individual. If you consider the public health, and the need to keep these diseases at low levels, then there's a good argument that many vaccines would be important from this standpoint.
But I find that many parents in your position are mainly considering vaccines based on disease risk for their own child. (?). If that's the case, then I'd say no vaccine is really necessary now since there's very little risk of a serious disease or fatality, even from tetanus.
