Hello, friends!
This will be the only time I'll post this week. I know we all have Thanksgiving stuff going on, and to be honest I'm just too busy right now to worry about writing blog posts. That and I'm in the middle of two really good books, and at this particular moment in time reading > blogging.
I'm pretending that we're meeting for a quick pre-Thanksgiving coffee date before all the craziness of the holidays hits. I might splurge and order a peppermint mocha this time. Despite my aversion to coffee, I actually like those. However, since I'm not used to the caffeine, after I drink one, I'm literally bouncing in my chair so I drink with caution.
I would probably come in wearing the above outfit, because it's actually one of my favorites right now. If you hate it, just don't tell me about it, because I think I look really cute. Let's just say I feel stylish, which doesn't happen to me all that often. Hashtag cheap people problems.
I bought that striped sweater at the Loft outlet a few months ago. It was 40% off but still cost me $30, which is on the high end of what I like to spend for any type of clothing besides running shoes. But I'm glad I did. Those boots are the new brown ones I mentioned buying in my winter wardrobe essentials post. Rack Room shoes for the win.
Speaking of running shoes, I just recently bought a new pair. I got Mizuno's this time, which is a brand I've never run in before. I really like them so far. Plus, they look really cool. Dark gray with blue stripes. I don't buy running shoes based on the look, but it doesn't hurt. When I was at the store, I told the guy who was helping me that I had "only" run about 550 miles so far this year.
I remember a time not too long ago when the very idea of running 500 miles in a year sounded insane. I guess it's all about perspective. Well, perspective and the number of crazies I follow on Twitter who run marathons every other weekend. Sometimes I have to remind myself that is actually not the norm, and my 3 days of running a week are nothing to shrug about. I'm officially registered for two 1/2 marathons in 2015, which is two more than I ran in 2014, so I'm pretty pumped. Sub 1:50, here I come.
^^^I made that scarf. My friend Justine gifted me a skein of alpaca yarn a few years ago, and I made that cowl out of it. But the yarn is suuuuper thin, and it took me forever to finish. It's lightweight but still keeps my neck warm when it's just a tad on the chilly side. I'm pretty proud of it. (The leaf necklace is from an online popup store that I used to get emails for, but I forgot the name now, so that doesn't help you.)
Since it's almost officially the end of November, I'm calling it quits on my "no comment" experiment. I'll be writing up a post in December about what I learned. It actually was an interesting experiment, and I'm glad I did it. Feel free to share any thoughts you had about it. For now, I will just say that I will be keeping comments on for good now. I suppose I get why some people turn off comments, but to be honest I think it's kind of a silly idea. More on that later.
Thanksgiving is going to be crazy this year, just like it has been for the last 3 Thanksgivings. In 2011, my family started a turkey trot in our neighborhood. The first year, we had 300 runners, and last year we had over 900! This year we expect to have about the same.
It's a ton of work, but it's a lot of fun. There's a 1-mile fun run and timed 5k. All the money raised supports the ministry of Youth for Christ in North Texas. If you want to read more about how the turkey trot all started, you can read this post. So that's what we'll be doing Thanksgiving morning: setting out cones to mark the route, getting registration organized, and cutting bananas for the finishers. (And if you happen to live in the Flower Mound, Texas, area and want to come out, here's the registration link.)
I keep thinking of more things to type, but ain't nobody got time for that. This is the holiday season, after all. The most wonderful time of year. And the busiest. I'm a little insane. I am already completely done with Jordan's Christmas presents and I have our Christmas cards in envelopes, addressed, and ready to send out! Please tell me I'm not the only one.
I hope you all enjoy Thanksgiving and spending time with family and friends, however that looks in your world. Thanks for stopping by for a glimpse into mine.
Just for kicks: If you're interested in a funny Reese family story from last year, here is a post that is at the top of my list of all-time favorites.

Hi there:
This book was fantastic. I hadn't read anything by Anita Diamant since The Red Tent, and that was about 10 years ago. I enjoyed that one, and I enjoyed this one as well. The action takes place in a short amount of time, probably no more than a few days, but in someways you can feel how time dragged for the people stuck at Atlit camp. After everything they suffered during WWII, they find themselves trapped in another camp. Although it's not as sinister as the camps in Europe, everyone feels the anxiety. This is especially true because they are only a few feet away from what will become the new state of Israel--so close, but not enough.
It's very quick to read, but that doesn't mean it's simple. It's a straightforward story, but full of tragedy and hope.

For Third Year, Eric Mitchell Named a Top Lobbyist
Eric Mitchell, director of government relations at Bread for the World, addresses anti-hunger advocates before the 2014 Lobby Day in Washington, D.C. (Bread for the World).
For the third time in as many years, Eric Mitchell, director of government relations at Bread for the World, has been named in The Hill newspaper as a top grassroots lobbyist.
The tribute is given each year to a selection of individuals deemed by the newspaper as instrumental in shaping federal policy. Mitchell was recognized for his work influencing anti-hunger legislation.
Mitchell and his policy team spend hundreds of hours on Capitol Hill speaking with and providing data to lawmakers and their staffs on legislation that will help end hunger. But, Mitchell stresses, Bread for the World members actually get them in the door.
"We might have the specialized knowledge to speak about the details of a piece of legislation, like how The Food for Peace Reform Act will get more food aid to millions more hungry people," says Mitchell, "but members of Congress would never listen to us if they were not hearing from voters back home that ending hunger should be a priority."
And when advocates report in-district visits with their members of Congress to their regional organizers, Mitchell and his team follow up with the D.C. offices, increasing the impact of our members' congressional visits.
Mitchell says it is a privilege to represent the faith voice on the Hill. "We bring something special to the table. There is a church in every congressional district in every state."
Working closely with members of Congress, he knows the influence the faith voice carries. "Members of Congress constantly say that the faith community's voice is important on so many issues," he says. "Probably more so than any other special interest group, the faith community has leverage to influence public policy both at home and in D.C."
Congratulations to Mitchell, his staff, and faithful advocates for this distinction.

World Prayers for Oct. 26-Nov. 1: Indian Ocean Islands: Comoros, Madagascar, Maldives, Mauritius, and Seychelles
St. Mary Church in Madagascar. Photo by Lemurbaby from Wikimedia Commons
This is a weekly prayer series that appears each Friday on the Bread Blog.
One aspect of Bread for the World's new Bread Rising campaign is prayer. The campaign is asking Bread members to pray, act, and give. In this blog series, we will be providing a prayer for a different group of countries each week and their efforts to end hunger.
This prayer series will follow the Ecumenical Prayer Cycle, a list compiled by the World Council of Churches that enables Christians around the world to journey in prayer through every region of the world, affirming our solidarity with Christians all over the world, brothers and sisters living in diverse situations, experiencing their challenges and sharing their gifts.
We will especially be lifting up in prayer the challenges related to hunger and poverty that the people of each week's countries face. In prayer, God's story and our own story connect—and we and the world are transformed. In a prayer common to all of us—the Lord's Prayer/the Our Father—we pray, "Give us this day our daily bread." This line from this prayer can also be a prayer for the end of hunger.
We invite you to join Bread in our prayers for the world's countries to end hunger. And we encourage you to share with us your prayers for the featured countries of the week or for the end of hunger in general.
For the week of October 26-November 1, we pray for these Indian Ocean Islands: Comoros, Madagascar, Maldives, Mauritius, and Seychelles:
Our heavenly Father,
in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, we glorify you,
we give thanks to you,
for in your infinite mercy you extended your family
to include the islands of the sea,
even islands at the end of the earth:
Comoros, Madagascar, Maldives, Mauritius and Seychelles.
We praise your name
for you moved your Holy Spirit
who stirred and sustained
a century-long revival movement in Madagascar,
an awakening to your power that brought transformation, reconciliation,
healing and empowerment.
We magnify your name
for through this revival the different denominations have discovered
a spirit-filled way to come to a unity in diversity.
Lord of the church,
we pray that the churches be strengthened in their spirituality,
one that would powerfully engage them
in a priestly and prophetic way in the midst of their local contexts.
Strengthen the churches to recover their sight
and so to resist overt and covert manipulation
in the political arena,
from either government officials or politicians.
God of all creation and nature, we pray for the inhabitants of these islands,
that they may be spared the devastation of cyclones or typhoons
with the open seas lashing every year against the coastal areas,
causing suffering and loss for the population.
Prayer by Péri Rasolondraibe, Antananarivo, Madagascar, 2005
Lord God, we also pray for people in these places who live with hunger and in deep poverty. We pray that governments, churches, relief and development agencies, missionaries, and citizens will find ways to work together to improve the lives of all people, so that all may live abundantly and a life of dignity. Amen.
Percentage of the population of these countries living below the national poverty line (2014 figures):

Madagascar: 75.3
Maldives: not available
Mauritius: 0.1
Seychelles: not available

Vote to End Hunger
By David Beckmann
Make no mistake: This year's midterm election is incredibly important — and it is less than two weeks away.
It's not just our chance to elect the next group of decision-makers in our country. It's our opportunity to bring hunger to the forefront and let the candidates know where voters stand.
If we miss this moment to galvanize our communities of faith and politicians against hunger, we have little chance of making hunger a priority in the next term, and as we pave the way for the next president.
You can help Bread for the World seize this important opportunity by pledging to take a stand for those most in need this election season. By raising your voice, you'll show there is a huge constituency — and political power — ready to demand change in the service of God. And right now, everyone who answers this call to end hunger will receive a FREE car magnet. It's our way of saying thanks for joining this important movement, and it helps share our Christian vision of a world without hunger.
Your voice and your vote are essential to achieving our goal of ending hunger in the United States and globally by 2030. It begins with people just like you, sharing your Christian values and voting for candidates who prioritize hunger issues.
We must make it clear that God wants us to build a future where hunger is a rare and temporary challenge, not the shared experience of approximately 49 million Americans that it is today. It will take education, training, key partnerships, and faithful advocacy to ensure our values reach the floor of Congress and the president's desk.
But before all of that can happen, we need you to join us and stand up for what we believe in. Sign our simple pledge now.
We've set a goal of 5,000 Christians to affirm their faith by pledging to end hunger. This will send a strong message to the president and Congress that there is a key voting bloc that will hold them accountable.
This truly is your chance to tackle one of the most important issues of our lifetime in a meaningful way, plus you'll receive a free car magnet to help share our vision with more people. It's a win-win!
Together, we can make a difference. Will you join me?
David Beckmann is the president of Bread for the World

A Mercy Story
Silliman University church. (Adlai Amor)
By Adlai Amor
Bread staff are often invited to preach in congregations across the country. For Bread for the World Sunday, Adlai Amor, director of communications, was invited to preach at the Union Church in Waban in Newton, Mass., and to make a presentation on "Advocacy in a time of Hyper-Partisanship." Here is an excerpt of his sermon when he shared an experience of mercy and compassion during one of his family's most difficult times.
He has told you, O mortal, what is good; and what does the LORD require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?
Micah 6:8
Justice. Mercy. Humility.
I often do not share my mercy story in the United States, other than if I am among Filipinos. But since the late Philippine senator Ninoy Aquino, father of current Philippine president Noynoy Aquio, spent the last years of his life here in Newton, I will share it with you.
I was just a high school student at Silliman University when Philippine dictator Ferdinand Marcos declared martial law in 1972. Ninoy Aquino, other opposition senators, and hundreds of student activists including many from my alma mater (established by Presbyterian missionaries) were arrested.
The economy tanked amid all the uncertainty. I remember my father, a lawyer, earning only the equivalent of $2 in October, November, and December that year. Two dollars to feed, clothe, and educate a family of 7 children in three months. We made it only because of the compassion of friends who had more than we had and my father's family pooling all their resources to see us through until better times.
It was a time when I, driven by a sudden lack of freedom, began to take my faith more seriously. But we were luckier than many. Other students, family and friends who were arrested by the military suffered much more. In our worship services, our pastor often drew on Micah 6:8. He stressed that in those times, mercy, compassion, and kindness were our best weapons in fighting injustice and in ensuring that our imprisoned families and friends were cared for.
Several Silliman Church leaders were models of compassion – being kind not only to those who were imprisoned, but also to their jailers. Young soldiers who did not fully understand what they were doing there and why these people were in a military jail.
Thinking back on it, I realize that many members of the Silliman Church and the university community were actually modern Micahs, but working quietly underground. Their roles were certainly not minor, but huge to those who were in prison and to those who imprisoned them. Our weapon of choice was kindness and mercy. Kindness and mercy not only to our friends and family, but also to our foes, the jailer-soldiers and their military commanders.
Justice. Mercy. Humility.
These are what God requires of us. Not just one of them, but all three. I must confess that advocacy is hard work. Advocating justly, mercifully, and with humility is especially difficult to do. There are times when I doubt that God has called me to be an advocate, but God refuses to give up on me. With such love, I cannot simply give up on God.

October Webinar Recap: Elections to Lame Duck
Congress returns to Washington, D.C. November 12. (Joseph Molieri/Bread for the World)
By Robin Stephenson
The halls of Congress remain relatively quiet as members are in their home districts and states during the last couple of weeks before the midterm elections. They will return to Washington, D.C., on November 12 to get back to the nation's business. Will they bring back a new commitment to end hunger?
Stephen Hill, Bread for the World's senior organizer for elections, says that depends on how Bread members are engaging current and potential members of Congress in the next two weeks.
Speaking to Bread for the World members during the monthly legislative update, Hill said, "Making hunger an elections issue requires advocates to build capacity, build relationships, and build for the future." Hill has been pioneering new practices to make hunger an election issue in Virginia's 10th Congressional District, just outside Washington, D.C.
Bread for the World believes we can end hunger by 2030 by building political will to make ending hunger a priority for our nation's lawmakers. Sending lawmakers to Washington, D.C., with a mandate to end hunger begins on the campaign trail when voters engage them on the issues publicly. Hill urged advocates to use the election resources designed to make hunger an issue in the next few weeks and in the next couple of years as we head toward the presidential elections of 2016.
Senior domestic policy analyst Christine Meléndez Ashley told Bread members what to expect in the post-election landscape.
In November, Congress will return to the nation's capital for what is referred to as a lame duck session: the final session of the previous Congress before the newly elected 114th Congress begins work in the new year. The first order of business will be the budget, which was extended earlier in the year but expires on December 2. Congress must also pass the fiscal 2015 National Defense Authorization Act and work on a bill to renew $85 billion in tax breaks for individuals and businesses before the short session ends, which is expected to be on December 11.
Several issues that affect hungry people remain unresolved in the 113th Congress.
With two pieces of legislation affecting international hunger, Meléndez urged Bread for the World members to continue asking their members of Congress to cosponsor key bills: In the Senate, The Food for Peace Reform Act (S. 2421) would free up much-needed food-aid resources to feed millions more people in need. Also in the Senate and House is The Feed the Future Global Food Security Act of 2014 (S. 2909/ H.R. 5656) – legislation that will give the U.S. government the tools and resources it needs to better combat chronic hunger and malnutrition as well as to expand and better coordinate U.S. investments in improving global food security. Bread for the World will continue to press members on passing immigration legislation that addresses hunger both here and in sending countries.
The next national grassroots conference call and webinar is scheduled for November 18.

No Longer Homeless, but Still Left Hungry

by Donna Pususta Neste
One of the problems with hunger is that it's often hidden or invisible all together, so it can be easy to deny or ignore. Another social problem—homelessness—is more apparent, but often the two go together. Take away one, and you still might have the other.
During the winter season a few years ago, when I was working as the neighborhood ministries coordinator for an inner-city church, I was picking up one of the youth participants of our afterschool program from a shelter. By springtime, his family was able to rent an apartment in the same neighborhood in which they lived before they were homeless. I wanted to think of this as a success story. However, since his family moved out of the shelter, almost every time I picked him up, he complained of being hungry. The family solved the problem of their homelessness, only to encounter the new problem of not enough money to buy food after paying the rent.
One afternoon early into the summer program, the kids were working on an indoor project. This boy again complained of being hungry. I ran upstairs to a small kitchen used by the staff to retrieve a plastic bag containing 10 hardboiled eggs. They were given to me after one of the church's community meals, and I put them in the refrigerator for anyone to eat. I came back to the work area with the eggs along with some forgotten cinnamon buns. This little boy ate four eggs in a row and a few of the buns. I sent the rest of the food home with him. I used to drop him off last so that I could go into the church and find some food to send home. There was always something left over from a meeting or community meal.
On one of those days, I began to think that maybe he was just not liking what he was given to eat at home, but I responded to his complaints despite my misgivings. Before dropping him off I ran into the church and came back to the car with a to-go box with 15 hot dogs left over from the latest community meal. My feelings of being "played" immediately dissipated when I watched him tear into the box and quickly eat one of the hot dogs cold.
Even people like me who work or once worked close to the bone of poverty are sometimes in denial about hunger in the United States. It's hard to see the face of hunger in a nation that seems to parade affluence and well-being every place we go. If we can't see it, then perhaps others, like our legislators, might miss it as well. So that's why one thing we can do—those of us who are close to the problem or are aware of it because of our work or faith—is to speak up about it. By telling elected officials where hunger exists and how deep it is, we can make it visible. Make a point to speak to your current or potential members of Congress about hunger now—during their campaigns for office. Maybe their eyes will be opened to what is already there.

Arkansas: The Hungriest State
Congress should raise the minimum wage so that a full-time, year-round worker can support a family of four above the poverty line. (Joseph Mollieri/Bread for the World).
By Alyssa Casey
A decent home life and three good meals a day is what Gregory Stewart, 36, of Little Rock, Arkansas wants to provide for his daughters. Yet in order to provide the basics, even though he works two jobs at minimum wage, Stewart told The Newshour he had to move in with his extended family.
Struggling to make ends meet is not uncommon in the state designated as the hungriest in the United States. In 2013, more than 1 in 5 Arkansas households were at risk of hunger. More than 19 percent of Arkansans lived in poverty, including more than 1 in 4 children. If you visualize five houses or apartments neighboring yours, at least one of those households struggles with hunger. And in your child's class of 32, more than eight of his or her fellow students live in poverty.
When we hear such staggering statistics, two questions often come to mind: Why are hunger and poverty so high in Arkansas? And what can be done to change this?
Hunger and poverty are complex issues that lack a simple cause or silver bullet solution. However, Bread for the World's research shows that unemployment and low wages tell part of the story.
Currently 6.3 percent of Arkansans are unable to find work. This is down from 7.3 percent a year ago, but still higher than the pre-recession level of just over 5 percent. Even if unemployment rates drop, low wages often mean that a full-time job is not enough to keep a family out of poverty.
Across the United States, most of the jobs added during the economic recovery have been low-wage jobs. Arkansas echoes this trend. The median annual salary – the middle point in Arkansas' salary range – is $37, 340. Eight of the ten occupations expected to add the most jobs in Arkansas through 2015 will pay $10,000 less than the median salary.
With a minimum wage of $6.25 per hour, Arkansas is one of three states with a minimum wage below the federal level of $7.25 per hour. When state and federal laws have different wages, the higher standard does apply. However, even someone working full-time, year-round at $7.25 per hour earns an annual income more than $8,000 below the federal poverty line to support a family of four. While legislation was introduced in both the House and Senate to raise the federal minimum wage, the Senate bill failed to pass and the House never even brought their bill to a vote.
The Arkansas Senate race between incumbent Mark Pryor and U.S. Representative Tom Cotton is considered a toss up, but whoever wins should use their position to end hunger. With such important races likely to be decided by only a few votes, Arkansans have a unique opportunity to influence a path out of poverty and help families like the Stewarts who are hungry for jobs that pay a living wage.
As these candidates canvas the state and ask for your vote, ask them what their plan is to address hunger and poverty in Arkansas. Look at their recent votes on hunger and poverty issues. If they are voting to end hunger, thank them. If not, ask them to explain their votes against policies that would help make hunger history.
With all of us pitching in by demanding accountability from our elected officials – whichever state you live in - Bread for the World believes we can end hunger in communities across the country by 2030.
See how hunger and poverty are affecting the 10 hungriest and poorest states.

Voting Ensures Communities are Fed, Safe, and Economically Stable
(Theresa Thompson, Creative Commons)
By Angelique Walker-Smith
How many times have we heard about the tensions between local African-American communities and the police in recent months? Michael Brown in Ferguson, Mo., Trayvon Martin in Sanford, Fla., Ezell Ford in Los Angeles, Eric Garner of New York City, and John Crawford III in Beavercreek, Ohio, are a few of the names in the headlines in recent months. With the use of new technologies that support grassroots photo and video journalism, there appears to be no end in sight of making sure these kinds of stories are told. Such tensions are not the only challenges in the African-American community.
Hunger and poverty in the African-American community have declined recently, but our community still has one of the largest percentages of hungry people and persons living in poverty. The U.S. Census Bureau's annual report, Income and Poverty in the United States: 2013, showed that, in the African-American community, poverty declined slightly from 27.2 percent to 27.1 percent, compared to the decrease of 25.6 percent to 23.5 percent in the Hispanic community. Nationally, poverty decreased slightly—by 0.5 percent—last year. It is the first time a decrease has been seen since 2006. The bureau announced that 14.5 percent of Americans lived in poverty in 2013. Additionally, child poverty declined for the first time since 2000, from 21.8 percent to 19.9 percent.
One of the most important ways we can change these unacceptable numbers of African-Americans who are hungry and living in poverty and at the same time address the incidents of violence between local authorities and the African-American community is to get out and vote. Voting leads to structural changes that can transform communities. Voting for candidates who clearly represent the interests of our communities and not voting only for personalities is important in achieving this goal. Voting is how we put public servants in office to work to transform our communities so that there is, for example, employment that affirms the dignity of God's people, a supportive safety net to feed hungry people, and clear strategies for healthy engagement between the police and communities. Voting is how we advance strategies of positive change that come out of mutual conversations, negotiations, and partnerships.
Sadly, however, African-Americans do not vote in high numbers, especially in the midterm elections. When we do not vote, we remain silent. Our silence prevents us from addressing the issues that face our communities and from electing a leaders who are in tune and consistent with the needs of our communities.
In Blacks and the 2010 Midterms: A Preliminary Analysis, presented by the Joint Center for Political and Economic Studies, Dr. David A. Bositis points out that national turnout in the 2010 midterm election was up slightly from the 2006 midterm election, with African-Americans contributing to 10 percent of the share of votes and 25.3 percent of African-Americans participating. But this was still a drop from 30.1 percent of African-Americans who voted in 2008 with Barack Obama on the ballot. Additionally, a recent study by the Pew Research Forum's Religion & Public Life Project found that almost three-quarters of the American public—72 percent—believes that religion's influence is waning in public life, the highest level in Pew Research polling over the past 10 years. This contrasts with further findings from the study that "a growing share of the American public wants religion to play a role in U.S. politics."
Some of the largest African-American denominations that partner with Bread for the World are responding to this challenge. Freedom Sunday 2014, held on Sept. 21, is being followed by Turnout Sunday on Nov. 2, two days before the midterm election. These faith initiatives seek to encourage the African-American community to vote this year. You can make a difference by voting and encouraging your family, friends, and fellow church members to vote as well. For more information on how to make your vote count, visit www.bread.org/elections.

[QUOTE=sameoldjets;2844222]unbelievable. kick a guy when he's down. i, for one, stand by my remarks that sometime, maybe 50 or so years from now, bush will be remembered fondly. much as the dems and others want to make fun of him and his administration, his was not as bad as clinton's and in many cases he is being blamed simply because he's in the seat. and i might add, he accepts the blame simply because he is the man in the seat. let's see how lord obama reacts when things start to unraveling. we already saw how clinton started to blame all those women he banged for his infidelity.[/quote]
lol, you're living in a dream world.
[QUOTE=sameoldjets;2844222]you know, one thing that should be pointed out pretty darn clearly. the president's power is such that he can use his power to actively silence his critics. now you may think he needs some sort of permission from congress but this is not true. he does have a set period of time where he can act unilaterally without even briefing congressional leaders. the fact that bush or any recent president for that matter, has not used his power on political enemies is fairly astounding. bush not once came out with anything derorgatory towards obama or even mccain. he watched the elction from afar and stayed out of it as much as possible, yet the libs and many righties just want to dump on this guy. i don't know if i would have been able to be so restrained and i suspect some of you wouldn't either.[/QUOTE]
What about that "appeasement" bs that Bush attacked Obama about, and eventually flip-flopped on? Bush stayed out of the election as much as he did because McCain wanted him to, for good reason, not because he was some kind of evenhanded nice-guy. The only thing more Bush involvement would have meant would have been an even higher margin of victory for Obama.

After months of pondering the future of the Procurement of Computer Hardware and Software-3 (PCHS-3) contracts, the Department of Veterans Affairs has decided to drop the program when the PCHS-2 contracts expire in April 2007.
The agency plans to use NASA's Scientific and Engineering Workstation Procurement IV contract instead, according to an e-mail message sent July 27 by James Stewart from the VA's Office of Small and Disadvantaged Business Utilization to small businesses owned by service-disabled veterans.
Wayne Simpson, the VA's deputy director for small and disadvantaged business utilization, said that to make the transition smooth, the VA will move some items to SEWP III. NASA plans to award SEWP IV in November.
The VA will not use General Services Administration contracts and will require use of SEWP IV, Simpson said.
Stewart urged businesses to consider bidding on SEWP IV, but the solicitations for that contract are due Aug. 7, giving firms little time to pull a credible bid together. Small firms "have only a certain amount of bandwidth" to go after contracts, said Mike McMahan, president of SDV Solutions, a service-disabled veteran-owned small business.
"A lot of this could be easily rectified by not making SEWP IV a mandatory contract," McMahan said. "There are plenty of GSA schedule holders that are veteran-owned and disabled veteran-owned companies that could provide good service, good pricing and good delivery to the VA. We're doing that to all the other federal agencies."
Stewart tried to assure the service-disabled veterans that the agency's move to SEWP did not signal a lack of support for their businesses. If the firms don't get enough orders to meet the VA's goals, "VA will consider an alternative acquisition strategy," he wrote.
Although VA officials are adamant that they won't use GSA contracts, the demise of a governmentwide acquisition contract is good news for GSA, said consultant Phil Kiviat.
"Anytime somebody drops out, it's got to be good for GSA," he said. "It just takes competition off the table."
It's also potentially good for companies that would not have won a place on PCHS-3, Kiviat said.
"There were a lot of people who felt that keeping another large [multiple-award contract] going was an unnecessary duplication of effort," said Larry Allen, executive vice president of the Coalition for Government Procurement.
NASA officials declined to comment on the VA's decision. "NASA will meet directed and funded commitments and agreements to the best of our ability, as appropriate," said NASA spokesman Doc Mirelson.

This same kind of scenario is now playing out in enterprise mobility. Mark Beccue, an analyst with IT market research company ABI Research, says that soon, "Cloud computing will bring unprecedented sophistication to mobile applications." What does he mean? Cloud-based mobile applications do not suffer from limits in mobile device battery life, storage capacity or processing abilities. Instead, they have all the power of a server-based computing infrastructure behind them.
If you have all the processing power you can ever want in the cloud, there is less reason (assuming you always have access to the internet) to build native mobile applications that are feature rich. Just access the power of the cloud and use the mobile device as the UI (user interface) to the cloud.
This means that mobile applications can be incredibly powerful with all the capabilities available in the cloud. Data and content mash-ups can be exposed as web services in the cloud. Integrations technologies, mobile platforms, security and MDM (mobile device management) solutions can all be in the cloud.
Mobile application developers will spend more time developing mobile web applications (browser based/HTML5) for the cloud than on the device. In other words, there will be less need for mobile application developers and more need for web developers. These developers can simply access more and more available services in the cloud instead of spending all of their time trying to create their own mobile applications, integration infrastructures and mobile platforms.
The Wall Street Journal had an interesting article on this subject this week called, One Cloud Fits All. Here is an excerpt that I found intriguing, "…mobile applications in the cloud can be accessed not just by the latest smartphones, but by any phone capable of running a Web browser. This will allow owners of lower-cost phones to tap into the same applications that, right now, are confined to more advanced handsets." As I was reading this statement I had an epiphany. The web is all abuzz about Apple developing a less expensive, less powerful iPhone. Now I understand. It is the iPhone for the cloud.
Mr. Beccue added, ""By 2014, mobile cloud computing will become the leading mobile application development and deployment strategy, displacing today's native and downloadable mobile applications."
I wonder, was SAP's acquisition of Sybase and their SUP a necessary step in the evolution of SAP enterprise mobility, or a move that will be outdated by 2014. I would venture to say it was a necessary first step. However, Terry Stepien at Sybase is already busy working on cloud-based services for SUP (Sybase Unwired Platform). He is focused on working with the large MNOs (mobile network operators) to incorporate SUP and Afaria into their cloud environments. At least that was his focus the last time I was updated. It will be a fun process to watch. Go Terry!
I have also learned recently that a company called Webalo is busy working on mobile cloud-based services that enables mobile applications to be developed and deployed with full integration to back office systems in hours. Although these quick deployments don't provide all of the rich native application bells and whistles, they certainly can provide a lot of functionality on mobile devices efficently and cost effectively.
What are your thoughts about cloud-based mobile solutions and integration platforms? Is this the future?

"After searching everywhere for the perfect baptism invitation for my little girl I finally found the one! It is delicate, classy, and very elegant. I chose the scalloped trim, the solid pink back, and white pearlescent envelopes. The online rendering really does not do it any justice. It is even prettier in person. Paper quality and print is flawless, and they were delivered faster than I expected. I am extremely pleased with the product, and everyone that has received it has commented on how beautiful the invitation is, and has asked me where I ordered them from. Will be shopping tiny prints again!"
"We ordered the invitations late but because of the rapid service at tiny prints we were able to receive our invites and get them out in time. Great customer service. They were very helpful and professional. I would definitely use them again."
"Didn't know what to expect on the photo quality of the print. When I received the invitations, it sure exceeded my expectations. The photo we choose was perfect on the card. The card was so rich in color, it looked like it was the actual photo on it, instead of a card. The font and color scheme was perfect. We are happy with our invitation cards."

Why Isn't Indonesia's Ancient System of Herbal Healing Better Known?

10 Ways to Never Overeat Again
Arm yourself with the following science-backed strategies to keep your appetite in-check—and survive the season without ending up with a Santa-sized gut.
1. Slow down!
With a jam-packed schedule, it's easy to rush through meals. But slowing your pace gives your body time to register its fullness. In a study published in the Journal of the American Dietetic Association, researchers measured how many times they chewed while snacking on pizza rolls. When participants chewed twice as many times as normal, they ate 15% less. "Take frequent pauses during your meals," suggests Sharon Richter, R.D., a dietitian in New York City. "Put down your fork or have a sip of water between bites."

N Sync Reunion Tour & Album: NOT Happeningby Free Britney at . Updated at . Comments
Last night's N Sync reunion was the talk of the music world, but it looks definitively like a one-off. The fierce five are done once again after that effort.
While N Sync came together as a part of Justin Timberlake's performance, in honor of his Vanguard Award, there is no talk of reforming the band.
Joey Fatone's dad, Joseph Fatone, Sr., said "People are hyping this [reunion] as to mean like next month they'll go on tour, but there's been no talk of it."
"Yes there are still fanatical fans who hope for one day that N Sync will get back together, but the truth is that they are all doing their own thing now."
"I don't think they should pump this up as much. It's not like they're going on tour."
While Justin Timberlake's post-band career has included worldwide success as a music superstar, actor and sex symbol, there is no bad blood or resentment.
His dedication of the Vanguard Award to the other members of N Sync last night was a classy gesture, as he wouldn't be where he is without them.
As for the rest of the guys, THGers, well, you'll always have 8/25/13.
Watch their performance below, and enjoy a couple of animated GIFs highlighting the first N Sync live gig since 2003, and likely the last until 2023:
Timberlake has moved on. Incidentally without looking back. He could have given them more stage time instead of hogging the stage for himself. His ego annoys me.
I couldn't agree with you more. That's the least he could've done. But he had to be an egomaniac and pull a Beyonce!
so the F*GGOTS try to beg for a living.

This is Vogue 9668, made for a friend's beach wedding in super-summery yellow gingham. I made a lot of modifications including changing the shape of the bodice, adding sleeves, sewing a ribbon to the back, and adding piping. There's more information here: http://yesilikethat.wordpress.com/2011/10/03/sunshine-dress-vogue-9668/
This pattern is so great and very versatile, I don't know why it's out-of-print! This is my third version, but the first time I've used this bodice and skirt together.
This is large-check yellow gingham bought from Fabrics Galore in Battersea (London). According to the labels it's an off-cut from Paul Smith. It's really fine and smooth and the colour is lovely.
