Let's make posts of historical events and pretend they just happened.
A History Network Member
Pretend the historical event is happening now and you are making a reddit post about it.
Good posts - Clever, smart, witty posts pretending the historical event is actually happening right now, and what a post on reddit about the event would look like. Example of a great r/RedditThroughHistory post. Oh, and don't forget about RAGE COMICS! These can be great RedditThroughHistory posts if done correctly. Give it a try!
Bad posts - Posts that link directly to wikipedia pages for the most part are not very creative. If a big historical event was happening right now, you wouldn't really post the link to its wikipedia page on reddit. Also, posts of something that got famous and end in "I sure hope this catches/doesn't catch on", or some variation thereof. These posts aren't very creative and lack substance - you might as well just say "HEY HARRY POTTER THAT WAS NOT VERY WELL KNOWN AND THEN IT WAS WELL KNOWN!" or some variation. And lastly, try not to post about events from the last 5, 10, even 20 years. They are too recent. Get out your old Social Studies textbooks and get more creative!
Also, thank you Little_Robot for the new theme!

Complying with the Rules & Regulations Pertaining to Letters of CreditComplianceOnlineTuesday, February 26, 2013 from 10:00 AM to 11:30 AM (PST)Palo Alto, CA |
Who's Going
Event Details
This international trade compliance training will provide an overview and introduction to rules and regulations governing international trade and take an in-depth look at US sanctions enforced by the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC), Anti-Boycott regulations maintained by the US Department of Commerce, and section 326 of the USA PATRIOT Act ("Know Your Customer").
Why Should You Attend:
There are many rules and regulations governing international trade. The rules are standards of practice, many created and maintained by the International Chamber of Commerce, to facilitate trade. The regulations contain legal restrictions on what one is allowed to sell to whom and required (and prohibited) business conduct, with penalties for failure to comply including fines, loss of export privileges, and even jail terms. In many cases, banks are required to police transactions they handle and report violations.
This 90-minute session will provide an overview and introduction to rules and regulations governing international trade and take an in-depth look at some with broad applicability: the Incoterms 2010, the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits (UCP), US sanctions enforced by the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC), Anti-Boycott regulations maintained by the US Department of Commerce, and section 326 of the USA PATRIOT Act ("Know Your Customer"). Exporters, importers, and their bankers must know the rules in order to play the game and avoid losses and penalties.
Learning Objectives:
Objective #1: Understand the difference between international rules, domestic laws & regulations, and international conventions and when they apply.
Objective #2: Eliminate common confusion over selected articles in the UCP600 and the International Standard Banking Practices.
Objective #3: Review what the Incoterms 2010 cover, how they are intended to be used, how they are often misused, and what they have to do with transfer of title.
Objective #4: Learn under what circumstances payment from a foreign buyer could get frozen by the U.S. government and deemed "trading with the enemy".
Objective #5: Understand makes a transaction "reportable" under the anti-boycott regulations.
Objective #6: Review how the USA PATRIOT Act applies to trade transactions and information banks actually need in order to satisfy "Know-Your-Customer" requirements.

I had every intention of checking out all the tutorials this morning at the Mac OS X Conference, that is, until I stopped for "just a minute" in Sal Soghoian's AppleScript class.
After a few minutes I understood more AppleScript than I had after years of fumbling with it on my own. This is why I love these events.
Next thing I knew, it was lunch time, and I had missed the other two stops that I was going to make. Ah, such is the serendipity that is conferences.

Craving comes from encouraging the thought of pleasure. The actual experience of pleasure may not be as pleasurable as the memory.
Georgia: That 's why we spend so much time in our minds!
Whether you encourage a worldly thought or a Divine thought, they both bring you pleasure. Worldly thought leads to indulgence, which brings you down from pleasure to disappointment and dejection. Divine thought takes you up from pleasure to Bliss, Intelligence, and progress in life. Worldly thought brings pleasure only as memory, whereas Divine thought comes as Reality.
Question: What is a Divine thought?
Sri Sri: "I am not the body; I am bliss, satchitananda; I am unbounded space; I am love; I am peace; I am light."
Question: What is a worldly thought?
Sri Sri: It is about money, sex, food, power, status and self-image. Truth is hidden by the golden veil of the mundane. Pierce through the glittering sheath and know you are the Sun.
P.S. In the world everybody is after GOLD; some are after GOOD; but only a few are after GOD. Transcend GOLD, transcend the GOOD, and reach GOD.

Miranda Shake, Chair, called the meeting to order at 9:30. With a motion from Marsha Grove, second by Susan McKinney, the minutes of the June 23, 2010 meeting were approved. There were no additional items for the agenda. Members introduced themselves to Diane Griswell, new LINC Policy Council member.
Pat Boze reviewed the Borrower Purge Policy and suggested changes to the criteria. Even with a utility program that will automatically purge borrowers, LTLS staff had little success purging patrons this fall (less than 3,000 or 1% of all borrowers) because the criteria are too stringent. The amount owed of less than $5.00 and the inability to delete when borrower has lost items (as the policy currently states) means that fewer and fewer borrowers can be purged automatically. We are recommending that the critera be reviewed and the amount owed increased. Otherwise, the staff time involved in creating the purge files, without being able to purge, is not efficient. There was discussion about the criteria, LINC Policy Council members indicated that the recommended changes be brought back to the next meeting, with this additional clarification of all criteria being met:
Pat reviewed the LINC Planning Document Draft for the group. She mentioned that there continues to be discussion on what is meant by a 'merged automation platform' and the Southern System Planning Panel has asked for additional definition. Discussion followed on what additional elements should be addressed in the LINC Planning Document, including:
Deb Lissak asked if there could be a brief discussion of Circ History - the number of days patron information is retained after an item is checked in. The current setting of 7 days is not long enough. Pat said she would add this to the agenda for the next meeting.
The next meeting for LINC Policy Council was scheduled for January 12, 2011. The meeting was adjourned at 11:30.

Operation Summary for October 24, 2011 - October 26, 2011 |
Monday October 24 The day shift began with Operations monitoring the Linac, Booster, and Main Injector (MI), and with the MiniBooNE and NuMI experiments taking beam. During the day shift, an RF person brought a MI RF station (MIRF17) back online at 8:43 AM. At 9:23 AM, MIRF17 tripped off; it reset. Operations established beam to the Meson FTBF experiment T-1008 at 10:04 AM. MI personnel began a g minus 2 (g-2) study at 1:38 PM. During the evening shift, MI personnel completed their g-2 study at 4:52 PM. At 6:01 PM, BRF17 tripped off for the first of three times in 14 minutes; it reset. The NuMI beam permit tripped off at 7:20 PM on a RF incomplete gap indication, but there were no RF stations off; operators reset the beam permit, but this happened three more times; operator investigated. Operators reported at 8:42 PM that MIRF17 was causing the NuMI beam permit trips. Operators reported short down times due to problems with LRF5 and BRF14. Tuesday October 25 The midnight shift began with Operations monitoring beam to the NuMI, MiniBooNE, and T-1008 experiments. During the midnight shift, at 1:24 AM, the Booster West Anode Power Supply (WAPS) tripped off due to problems with BRF9; operators bypassed the station and reduced Booster intensity. Operations disabled beam to T-1008 at 2:05 AM. Operators reported at 2:24 AM that MIRF17 continued to cause NuMI beam permit trips; operators bypassed MIRF17. Operators reported at 3:12 AM that Booster was not responding well to the present RF configuration; operators loaded an energy conservation timeline into the Time Line Generator and called in a RF technician. At 4:09 AM, the Booster RF person reported that he was disconnecting BRF9 from the WAPS; a Booster person came in to help with tuning. At 7 AM, Neutron Therapy Facility (NTF) personnel began preparing to treat two patients: the first patient early on the day shift and the second one at noon. A RF technician brought MIRF17 back online at 7:53 AM. During the day shift, at 8:33 AM, MIRF14 tripped off for the first of four times in 16 minutes; an RF tech investigated. Operators prepared the Antiproton Source (Pbar) rings for access at 8:48 AM to install equipment for future studies. Operations established beam to T-1008 at 10 AM. The Booster WAPS tripped off at 10:09 AM; an RF person reported that BRF10 had caused the trip. Booster RF personnel reported at 1 PM that they were bringing BRF9 online and connecting it to the WAPS. At 1:09 PM, operators reported that the NuMI beam permit dropped due to a temperature problem; NuMI personnel investigated. A NuMI person reset their humidifier and Operations reestablished beam to NuMI at 1:45 PM. During the evening shift, at 6:28 PM, the NuMI beam permit tripped off on a RF fault and again there was no RF station off. Operators investigated and found that MIRF17 had gone to full voltage; this was the first of three similar trips in about two and half hours. Operators contacted a RF person and then turned off MIRF17 at 9:53 PM. Wednesday October 26 The midnight shift began with Operations sending beam to the NuMI, MiniBooNE, and T-1008 experiments. During the midnight shift, Operations disabled beam to T-1008 at 2:13 AM, this ended the experiment's run at Fermilab for this year. Operations turned on the Pbar power supplies at 6:34 AM in preparation for a Mu2e study later in the morning. Operations Coordinator (OpsCo) Plans for Today The plans for today include Linac and Booster studies, Recycler proton studies, and Pbar reverse proton studies. A new Meson FTBF experiment, T-1015, will begin taking beam today. |

There's moments when it feels like a gift to move our focus outside of ourselves. A great way to do this is to think of some small act of kindness you can do for someone you know, or even someone you don't know. Sometimes, making someone else's day can make ours feel more rewarding and meaningful.

Animals Are God's Creatures

Animals are God's Creatures
Not ours to take
But why does man often decide their fateLong before man
The animals roamed
Were no boundaries decided their homesThen God created man
And brought them to earth
To share the land with his creatures he birthedBut man wanted more
They did not want to share
They rounded up all the animals
And called them theirsFrom that day forward
Man planted a seed
That grew into a tall seed of greedThey made the animals their slaves
They grew them for meat
Man then thought what a fine treatBut some became pets
A man's companion a best friend
A friend who fought for them until the endAnd so time went on
Many more men where born
And for the animals they were tornThey got left without homes
Left without a friend
No one by their sides until the endInstead some sit in shelters waiting for a home or to die
While others live on a factory farms caged in without ever seeing the sunlight
Only to find out they are being sold for meat
So man can eat a disgusting treatAnd the lucky animals
They have a home
Where someone calls them their own
And others have been rescued from becoming meat
Where they live on sanctuariesBut yet even good men
Call animals their property
They are called pets to you and me
Because animals now have to depend on man for a home
Where before man they managed just fine on their ownAnd as time goes on I hope man can see
That Animal's are God's Creatures
They are not ours to take
Let us love respect and honor them as our fellow mates!

I was only supposed to have boys. Specifically, three of them. I have no idea why I believed this, but from the moment I decided I wanted kids, even though I dreamed of having a girl, it is how I was convinced life would play out.
Cut to me 15 weeks pregnant with my second child. Hubby, Kenya and I were on vacation, winding through narrow dirt roads in a jeep, me becoming even more nauseous then I already was from the pregnancy, when my doctor's office called with my amnio results. We pulled the car over. "Would you like to know the sex of your baby," the nurse on the other end of the line asked me. My heart was pounding in my chest as I replied I would. After what felt like a 10 minute pause, I heard the words, "it's a girl." What?! A girl? I burst into tears of joy. I actually was going to get to do all those girly things I never thought were in the cards for me!
This all leads me in a very round about way to today's recipe. Six weeks ago I asked Chloe what she wanted to do for her 3rd birthday. She said she wanted to have a Hello Kitty tea party. The idea seemed simple enough at first, but what does one serve at a Hello Kitty tea party? After much deliberation, Chloe and I came up with a menu: Red Beet and White Bean Hummus (which Chloe and I dubbed Hello Kitty's Favorite Pink Hummus), Rice Cooker Mac and Cheese, PB&J Panini's, Grilled Cheese Waffle Sammies, grilled chicken salad, edamame, Blackberry Agua Fresca, fruit water, Chocolate Graham Crackers, a great big Tres Leche Cake, and the hit of the party, these magic fruit wands. From the moment I put them out, the kids' eyes, hands and mouths were locked on them. Not only are these fruit wands super cute, they're also fun, healthy and delicious.
Whether you have girls or boys, these fruit wands will be sure to cast a spell no matter what the occasion. There's no better way to make fruit disappear!
How do you get the wands to stand up?
These are so beautiful…and healthy! I want to use it for my girl's birthday party, but I'm trying to think of an easy, biodegradable alternative to florist foam (the watermelon sounds lovely…but a lot of work!). I'm wondering if an upside down cardboard egg carton would work…or a big roll of play-dough?
The ideas are splendid and helpful to many kids, in terms of learning are great tools.
Wow, these are such a brilliant idea for a child's birthday party! My daughter will be 4 in May and I've gotta try this. Thanks for posting!
Pingback: Fun and Healthy Snacks for Kids! « Those Young Moms
My niece is deep in the throes of a princess stage right now so I think these wands are pretty much mandatory!
Pingback: Pinterest Finds For Monday: Awesome Fruit Recipes - Mama Writes

Did the kids eat the star fruit? I've never had one so wondered how they went over?
Yes, I did not have any leftover fruit from any of the wands!
I plan on using this at my 5 yearold boy's sponge bob birthday party thanks.
Looks like a perfect treat for my daughter's end of year party at school!
Although a little more time consuming (maybe) you could use the empty watermelon half .. Upside down and poke the skewers in after pre-poking with a nail?
That would be cute!
Love this and all your images. Are you working on a Pinterest link? I've already pinned a number of your great recipes!
The site is getting a makeover, but for now there is a "pin it" button in the "share this" section at the end of each post! Thanks for pinning my recipes!
So pretty! I might have to use this one for my daughter's birthday in May! We always have a big family cookout and the big ole fruit bowl is kind of boring!
Oops I meant how do you make it stand?
I wrapped florist's foam in streamers
Use your watermellon you scooped the meat out of. Turn it over on a platter and poke sticks in it, then place left over fruit around the bottom. It will hold about 50-75 sticks. If starfish fruit isn't available use your strawberries on top and leave your green leaves on them and that is also very elegant for showers. Kids tend to take the sticks and poke each other so becareful at boy birthday parties! I have 3 sons.
How do oh make this stand??
Such a menu…so awesome.
It looks awesome. Where do you poke the skewers into? What is under the purple paper?
I used Florist's Foam and covered it in streamers to make it look prettier!

Got Mercury?9/19/12For Immediate DistributionDavid McGuire, GotMercury.org, (415) 415-3790, firstname.lastname@example.com Knolls, CAHigh Mercury Fish served in School Lunch ProgramA new study released today warns schools that they may be serving tuna that is hazardous to childrens health. The Tuna Surprise report, released by health advocacy groups Mercury Policy Project (MPP) and Clean Water Action, examined the mercury levels of canned tuna sold to schools and assessed childrens exposure from the canned meat.Canned tuna is the largest source of methylmercury in the average American diet and accounts for nearly one-third of total exposure to the toxic mercury compound, the report said.
This study shows that mercury in tuna served in schools may be higher than expected and that we are putting our children at risk to mercury toxicity said Todd Steiner, Executive Director of the Turtle Island Restoration Network and the Got Mercury Project. Parents should be concerned about how much tuna their children are eating at home and in our schools.MPP tested the mercury content of 59 samples, representing eight brands of tuna, sold to schools in 11 states around the country, including two in California."Most children are already consuming only modest amounts of tuna and are not at significant risk," said Michael Bender, MPPs director. "So the focus really needs to be on kids who eat tuna often, to limit their mercury exposure by offering them lower-mercury seafood or other nutritious alternatives."The report advises schools and parents not to serve any albacore tuna to children and to limit consumption of light tuna to twice a month for most children and only once a month for children who weigh less than 55 pounds.American children eat twice as much tuna as they do any other kind of fish, and one out of every six seafood meals in the United States is canned tuna.Canned tuna is served through State and federally subsidized school lunch programs.The Environmental Protection Agency's maximum acceptable dose for methylmercury, a potent neurotoxin, is one-tenth of a microgram per kilogram of a person's body weight. Even tiny levels of methylmercury have been linked to learning disabilities and developmental delays in children, according to EPA scientists.To ensure that the brains of fetuses and children aren't exposed to levels high enough to damage them, the EPA and FDA said in 2004 that women who are pregnant or might be pregnant can eat up to two meals, or 12 ounces, of fish and shellfish a week. Children should eat "smaller portions," the guidelines said.In the report are independent studies not available when government advisories were issued. These studies indicate that adverse effects to methylmercury occur at much lower levels of exposure than previously thought.BackgroundThe FDA has determined that women of childbearing age and young children should not eat swordfish and three other types of fish and should limit consumption of tuna due to high mercury levels. A mercury-in-fish advisory was issued in 2004, but the FDA does not require the warning to be posted by seafood sellers; the agency relies on obsolete and outdated mercury data despite mounting evidence that mercury levels in fish are increasing. FDA tests less than 1 percent of seafood for mercury levels.###GotMercury.org works to protect people and the environment from mercury. Because of the ubiquitous nature of mercury in the environment and because federal and state public health agencies are not doing enough to raise public awareness and protect the public from mercury, GotMercury.org developed the free online mercury-in-fish calculators that have received millions of hits since 2002.

Deadline looms for flood recovery loans
Almost four months after the flood of 2012, some Duluth residents still aren't home.By: John Lundy, Duluth News Tribune
Almost four months after the flood of 2012, some Duluth residents still aren't home.
"I know of people that are camping in their front yard in a tent or in a camper," said Cliff Knettel, deputy director of the nonprofit 1 Roof Community Housing. "I know of people that have moved in with relatives. I know of people that are living in unsafe conditions waiting for something to happen."
Knettel said 15 households in Duluth that he's aware of are still effectively homeless because of the June 19-20 flood.
That's just a slice of a continuing problem across a much larger region.
"About 200 people are camping in their homes in one way or another" overall, said Drew Digby, regional long-term recovery coordinator for the Flood Homes With Hope campaign.
With winter approaching, Digby and Knettel said they're concerned about people who still are living in the cold, or with inadequate heating in their homes.
But a deadline is approaching as well: Monday is the last day Northland families can apply for federal low-interest disaster recovery loans through the Small Business Administration.
QuickStart loans from the state are available, but applicants first must seek an SBA loan before being eligible for the state loan.
The SBA has awarded nearly $1.4 million in loans for every 100 homeowners who have applied, Digby said, and an equal amount has come via QuickStart loans. Based on those numbers, another 129 applications would bring another $3 million into the region, he said.
Digby said he believes a significant number of people who may be eligible still haven't applied. For that reason, Flood Homes With Hope again will staff three help centers this Saturday to help walk flood survivors through the process.
The loans can be significant: up to $200,000 for real property damage and up to $40,000 for personal property damage.
Not all applicants get SBA loans. Digby said of the 388 applications that had been completed as of this week, 200 had been approved. But Digby and Knettel said the QuickStart loans generally are approved unless the applicant is behind on property taxes, behind on mortgage payments or lacks homeowner's insurance. Even in those cases, Knettel said, his agency will work with applicants to get caught up.
"We haven't really denied anybody outright," Knettel said.
To get help
People needing help to apply for federal flood disaster loans may visit one of the following locations between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. on Saturday:
Anyone who wants to make sure a disaster case manager will work with them should call (218) 499-9480 or register under the "Get Help"
section at FloodHomesWithHope.org.
Or apply at SBA.gov or (800) 659-2955. If you are hard of hearing, call (800) 877-8339.

What are the causes of childhood ADHD?The cause of ADHD has not been defined. One theory springs from observations regarding variations in functional brain-imaging studies of those with and without symptoms. However, these variations have been shown in studies of the structure of the brain of ADHD affected and nonaffected individuals. Animal studies have demonstrated differences in the chemistry of brain transmitters involved with judgment, impulse control, alertness, planning, and mental flexibility. A genetic predisposition has been demonstrated in (identical) twin and sibling studies. If one identical twin is diagnosed with ADHD, there is a 92% probability of the same diagnosis in the twin sibling. When comparing nonidentical twin sibling subjects, the probability falls to 33%. The overall population incidence is 3%-10%. Genes that control the relative levels of chemicals in the brain called neurotransmitters seem to be different in ADHD, and levels of these neurotransmitters are out of normal balance.
While most teens and adults with ADHD are no longer hyperactive in behavior, they commonly have a suboptimal executive function skill set. The six major tasks of executive function that are most commonly distorted with ADHD are the following:

Baird: American Manufacturing Renaissance Continues, But Political and Economic Clarity Needed
Director of Equity Research Jon Langenfeld Shares Outlook Ahead of the Firm's Industrial Conference
CHICAGO, Oct. 25, 2012
Baird, an employee-owned, international capital markets, private equity, wealth and asset management firm, will host its
annual Industrial Conference in Chicago Nov. 5-7
. The conference brings institutional and private equity investors together with senior management from more than 135 leading industrial public and private companies, representing segments such as: General Industrial, Diversified Industrial and Manufacturing, Industrial Distribution, Process Controls, Process Technology, Containers & Packaging, Auto & Truck and Transportation/Logistics.
Information and updates on Baird's Industrial Conference can be found on Twitter through the official conference hashtag – #RWBIndustrial. Baird's Twitter handle is @rwbaird.
As a preview to the conference, Baird spoke with
Jon Langenfeld
, Director of Equity Research, about the current renaissance in American manufacturing and what is needed for such a renaissance to continue.
Q&A with Director of Equity Research Jon Langenfeld, CFA
There has been some discussion of a renaissance happening today in American manufacturing. Is such a renaissance occurring, and if so, where are we seeing this?
The manufacturing renaissance in North America is real. With rising labor costs in developing economies, higher fuel and transportation costs, and increased risk associated with elongated supply chains, manufacturers are positioning production centers closer to the point of consumption. Further, the U.S. market is benefiting from the increased availability of domestically sourced energy, minimal labor cost inflation, and manufacturing productivity gains. There is no sign that these factors are going to change anytime soon.
Fortunately, expanded U.S. manufacturing investment is happening in multiple areas of the sector. As a result, this renaissance is reflected in a broad and diverse cross section of end markets, including automotive, chemicals, consumer, and diversified industrial.
There seems to be a significant divergence between manufacturing companies that have adjusted their business model for the current economy and those that have not. What distinguishes the companies that are doing it right?
In recent years, many Industrial companies have adapted to the slower growth environment by focusing on controlling costs and boosting productivity. Those companies that were nimble and adapted well have seen favorable operating profit trends.
When you dig deeper and look at the relative performance of various businesses, you see that success is most closely correlated with end market and geographic exposures. Companies with strong or improving end markets, like chemicals, energy, residential construction, and U.S. automotive, are generally performing better. Conversely, companies with weaker end markets – government, general industrial, mining, truck manufacturing, and transports – are generally performing worse. Additionally, exposure to different geographies is a key factor in performance. The U.S. market has been more resilient than Europe, China or the emerging markets.
What major catalysts are needed to further fuel a renaissance in manufacturing? What threatens to derail it?
Right now, uncertainty seems to be the biggest enemy. Many companies are simply unwilling to commit to capital spending projects and hiring, which we attribute, in part, to growing policy uncertainty, both in the U.S. and globally. Uncertainty over the fiscal cliff, changing tax policies and regulation impair the strategic planning process of corporations.
We've seen the effect of this recently as the Industrial environment has slowed. ISM readings – data supplied each month by the Institute of Supply Management that tracks manufacturing activity across the U.S. – have been below 50 in three of the last four months. Sub-50 levels indicate a contraction. The ISM numbers, along with moderating capital goods orders, point to increased uncertainty in the industrial market and in the broader economy.
With that in mind, what's at stake in next week's election when it comes to the leadership and future direction of U.S. and American manufacturing?
It comes down to many of the things previously mentioned, mainly clarity over policy and regulation. What will the impact be if Congress lets the U.S. go beyond the "fiscal cliff" at year end and automatic spending cuts and tax increases go into effect? Will the U.S. continue to make incremental changes to its energy policies, or will government create a more holistic and long-term approach? What will labor policies and legal reform look like? These are just some of the questions that companies are contemplating. The fundamental drivers of this renaissance are there, but this cloud of uncertainty is stifling. Whichever party or candidate is victorious on Election Day, the key to continuing this manufacturing renaissance is establishing more certainty around these different issues. Corporations need that clarity in order to commit capital and move forward.

More than that, though, this Michael Michael Kors Sweater Dress ($160) offers up the quintessential Fall day-to-night staple, in the coolest shade of olive green. 3 / 15 Slide 3 of 15 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 While it may be a little on the edgier (read: geometric) side, the cool mix of metallics and neutrals on this Aiko Sayoko Sweater Dress ($375) is sure to be a statement maker on the holiday party circuit. 4 / 15 Slide 4 of 15 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 A cozy cream knit with a splash of romantic black lace?

Like what you see? Get it at Club Monaco ($180) immediately. A black peacoat, opaque tights, and lace-up booties will finish this look on a high note. 6 / 15 Slide 6 of 15 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 A girlier choice — leather pleat and all — for the style setter who wants to indulge in a lush shade of evergreen, too. Say "hello" to the Joy Cioci Darcie Dress ($418), a sweet option for sweater dressing. 7 / 15 Slide 7 of 15 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Don't count out Zara's Mohair Polo Neck Sweater Dress ($50) from your holiday sweater dress rotation.

Look no further than this Minimarket Levitation Sweater Dress ($315), which gives us more than enough fringed tassel to keep all eyes front and center. With a gold heel thrown in, this look will get the punch-up it deserves for a holiday party. 11 / 15 Slide 11 of 15 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 You may need to rely a little more on the accessories front to ensure this C.Luce Intarsia Sweater Dress ($69) looks formal enough at Thanksgiving dinner, but play your cards right (statement cuff, lug-sole boots, and a plum-red lip) and you'll be making this a repeat outfit. 12 / 15 Slide 12 of 15 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 It may be open knit, but this Theyskens' Theory Yupy Dress ($595) is dripping with Fall glamour.

Instruction And Range Firing For Shooters Of All Levels
PISTOL SMALL ARMS FIRING SCHOOL, 6-7 JULY, 2014 (Registration is 6 July, SAFS & M9 EIC Match is 7 July) New start time is 7:00 AM. There will be a break for The First Shot Ceremony.
ADVANCED PISTOL COURSE FOR EXPERIENCED SHOOTERS, 7 JULY, 2014 11:30 AM – 5:30 PM in the Theatre
RIFLE SMALL ARMS FIRING SCHOOL, 15-17 July 2014 (Registration is 15 July, SAFS & M16 EIC Match is 16-17 July)
ADVANCED SERVICE RIFLE COURSE FOR EXPERIENCED SHOOTERS, 15 - 17 JULY, 2014 (Registration is 15 July, SAFS & M16 EIC Match is 16-17 July)
Small Arms Firing Schools
The Department of Defense first conducted the Small Arms Firing Schools (SAFS) as part of the National Matches at Camp Perry in 1918. Federal law continues to require the annual conduct of Small Arms Firing Schools, which now instruct over one thousand pistol and rifle shooters a year in firearms safety and fundamental marksmanship skills. The Pistol and Rifle Schools are conducted by the U. S. Army Marksmanship Unit (USAMU) and sponsored by the Civilian Marksmanship Program (CMP). The Schools are open to all U. S. citizens who are over the minimum age. Firearms are provided, students must bring eye and ear protection. In the Schools, USAMU instructors, assisted by Army, Air Force, Coast Guard, Marine and Navy Active, National Guard and Reserve shooting team members teach basic marksmanship techniques geared to meet the needs of new and less experienced shooters as well as shooters who want to learn new ways to improve their scores.
There are three courses available: Rifle SAFS, Pistol SAFS, and an Advanced Pistol Marksmanship Course that is part of the Pistol SAFS. Both the Rifle and Pistol SAFS offer beginning shooters special hands-on instruction that starts from the beginning with safety, nomenclature, clearing, loading and unloading, shot technique and basic firing positions. Intermediate SAFS instruction focuses on teaching and practicing competition techniques. The Advanced Pistol Course is open to any competitor who has a minimum of 10 EIC points or at least an Expert NRA classification. In this course participants can expect to focus on the fundamentals, understanding training methods, and building a mental approach to competitive shooting. For advanced Service Rifle shooters, separate Advanced Adult Service Rifle and USMC Junior Service Rifle Clinics are available.
Rifle students fire prone, sitting and standing position slow or rapid-fire exercises. On the second day, Rifle SAFS students, while still being assisted by their coaches, have a unique opportunity to test their new marksmanship knowledge and skills by firing an M16 Rifle EIC Match that uses the course of fire practiced on the range the previous day.
Pistol students fire slow, timed and rapid-fire stages at 25 yards. Upon the completion of pistol training Pistol SAFS students, while still being assisted by their coaches, have a unique opportunity to test their new marksmanship knowledge and skills by firing an M9 Pistol EIC Match that uses the course of fire practiced on the range.
The top 10 percent of all SAFS students in either the M9 EIC Match or the M16 EIC Match who have not earned any EIC points are awarded "introductory" 4-point legs to start them on their quest for the prestigious Distinguished Badge. The Pistol SAFS, including the firing of the M9 EIC Match, will be completed in one day, on Monday, 8 July. The SAFS schedule will give beginning shooters approximately six hours of hands-on training and time on the range. The SAFS Advanced Pistol Class will begin at 11:30 AM on 8 July and conclude with the firing of the Service Pistol Warm-Up Match on 9 July. The Advanced Course is geared to competitive shooters who wish to enhance their competitive and training edge. In addition, participants will have the opportunity to question a panel of pistol champions. Pistol competitors who are interested in the Advanced Pistol Course should register for the Advanced SAFS with Warm-Up Match.
Rifle students who want either beginning shooter instruction or intermediate instruction and who wish to fire in the M16 Rifle EIC Match should register for the Rifle SAFS. Advanced junior rifle competitors should register separately for the USMC Junior Service Rifle Clinic. Advanced adult competitors should register for the Advanced Adult Highpower Service Rifle Clinic.
The Pistol and Rifle Small Arms Firing Schools offer U. S. citizens at all levels of shooting experience, from new and beginning shooters to advanced competition shooters, outstanding opportunities to receive top class marksmanship instruction from many of the country's best instructors in one of shooting's most historic settings.
SAFS instruction and hands-on coaching provided by Army Pistol and Rifle Teams and supported by coaching from Army, Marine Corps, Navy, Air Force and Coast Guard team members has long been regarded as some of the best available anywhere. Students in the 2014 Small Arms Firing Schools (SAFS) will do range firing practice with their coaches and then complete their schools by firing in an exciting EIC match. These "Special EIC Matches" offer competitors who have not earned any EIC credit points a chance to compete for 4-point "introductory legs" that are awarded to the top 10% of these shooters. Competitors may count no more than one 4-point leg towards the 30 points that are required to earn a Distinguished Badge. Detailed rules for these matches are in the CMP Competition Rules for Service Rifle and Service Pistol (see Rule 9.0), posted on the CMP web site at http://www.thecmp.org/Competitions/Rulebook.htm.
The M9 Pistol EIC Match will be fired Monday, 7 July, immediately after SAFS practice. It will be fired with the M9 9mm service pistols that students used in SAFS practice. The M9 pistol match is fired at 25 yards. Competitors can fire with either a one-handed or two-handed stance. The pistol course of fire is 5 sighters, 10 shots slow-fire in five minutes, two 5-shot timed-fire series (20 sec. each) and two five-shot rapid-fire series (10 sec. each).
The M16 Rifle EIC match will be fired on Thursday morning, 17 July. The M16 EIC match will be fired with SAFS rack grade M16 rifles that use light-recoil 5.56mm cartridges. The M16 course of fire starts with five sighters. The record course continues with 10 shots for record in prone slow-fire, 10 shots rapid-fire prone in 60 seconds, 10 shots rapid-fire sitting in 60 seconds and 10 shots slow-fire standing, all at 200 yards on the SR target.

The Pentagon's plans to do away with 1970s-era A-10 "Warthog" attack planes will have a ripple effect in places like Knob Noster, Mo., -- a small town in the shadow of Whiteman Air Force Base.
It could mean fewer reservists flocking to places like the Panther Steakhouse and the EconoLodge after a weekend spent working with planes designed to fight wars against Soviet tanks.
In Knob Noster, population 2,709, it makes a big difference when those people spend that cash.
"There are people who maintain the planes and people who come in and do their Reserve duty," said Doug Kermick, the city administrator. "When it comes to these guys being here, all the hotels in the surrounding areas are full. They eat here. They sleep here. From an economic standpoint, there will be some loss."
So lawmakers like Missouri Sen. Roy Blunt and his Democratic colleague, Sen. Claire McCaskill, will do what they often to when faced with steep budgetary cuts that will cause pain back home: fight.
Both senators and 10 other lawmakers wrote Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel expressing their "deep concern with the Department of the Army's proposal to cut Army National Guard combat aviation assets and force structure."
Most of the senators -- many of whom sit on powerful funding or defense-related committees and subcommittees -- represent states with military bases with aviation components. In addition to Blunt and McCaskill, the lawmakers include Senate Minority Whip John Cornyn, R-Texas; Sen. Lamar Alexander, R-Tenn.; and Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., who all sit on the appropriations committee.
Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vermont, a co-chairman of the Senate National Guard Caucus who sits on the appropriations defense subcommittee, also signed the letter.
"While we are aware that the Army's budget request for fiscal year 2015 is pre-decisional, every indication including public statements and briefings from Army leadership on Capitol Hill suggests the decision was made without meaningful consultation with the Army National Guard," the senators wrote. "The shortsighted approach creates unnecessary risk to our national security at the expense of incredibly capable attack aviation assets in the Army National Guard."
The Pentagon's leaner budget proposals, unveiled Monday, include a scale-back that will whittle the nation's Army to its lowest level since before World War II and do away with the Warthogs as well as U-2 spy planes, among other cuts.
Fight brewing
Those kinds of cuts are guaranteed to spark a fight pitting lawmakers against Department of Defense officials and state against state in a scramble to keep such things as aircraft carriers and their crews' economic impact on a community, said Mieke Eoyang, national security program director at the Third Way, a centrist policy organization.
"What you'll see is a fight at the lowest levels of public awareness where they'll try to restore some of those cuts," Eoyang said, adding that there's little political incentive for members of Congress to offer full-throated support of Hagel's proposal to trim the Army to a level of 440,000 to 450,000 troops -- the lowest level in more than 70 years.
Last year, when it looked as if the A-10s were on the chopping block, Blunt, who sits on the Senate appropriations defense subcommittee, offered an amendment to the Pentagon spending measure to save the planes.
Defense policy experts say that these types of military cuts usually affect surrounding communities. As troops and the civilian workers who maintain military equipment are either reassigned or move on, the towns that depend on them struggle.
The Pentagon says the cuts are simply a reflection of the harsh realities of this era of federal budget cutbacks and a shift away from fighting expensive, extended land wars abroad.
"These recommendations will adapt and reshape our defense enterprise so that we can continue protecting this nation's security in an era of unprecedented uncertainty and change," Hagel said at his briefing.
Many defense policy experts also say the cuts are practical.
"Cutting to 450,000 is significant but within reason. It is a cut of less than 10 percent from typical 1990s levels, or from what was recently already planned," said Michael O'Hanlon, a defense and foreign policy expert at the Brookings Institution. "And with Saddam (Hussein) gone in Iraq, the portfolio of threats and likely missions has shifted at least modestly away from large-scale ground combat, in my eyes."
United against the cuts
But if mounting pushback from such lawmakers as Graham and Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., among others, and a number of military advocacy groups is any indication, the Pentagon will have a hard time preserving the proposed cuts.
South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley said a White House meeting of a bipartisan group of governors Monday largely had a respectful tone until the discussion turned toward military cuts at the end.
"It automatically went into an aggressive nature by (President Obama), implying that 'many of you have asked for cuts, this is what you said you wanted ... now you're going to get it, you're going to have to live with it.' Completely different change in tone," said Haley, who's up for re-election this year and who made her remarks at a news conference by the Republican Governors Association after the gathering at the White House.
"It chilled the room quite a bit," she added.
Groups like the National Guard Association, an advocacy group, are also urging their members to pressure their congressional lawmakers to reject many proposed cuts, such as trimming Army National Guard numbers and shifting Apache helicopters from the Guard to the active-duty Army.
