Our View: Leave debt ceiling authority alone
It will require some give and take among Democrats and Republicans in Congress and President Obama to negotiate a settlement to the looming "fiscal cliff" crisis and allow the country to keep functioning past the end of this year.
But there is one aspect of fiscal policy currently mixed up in the debate that simply should not be changed – authority over raising the nation's debt ceiling.
As part of his proposal for avoiding going over the cliff, President Obama wants the authority to raise the amount of money the federal government can borrow – currently set at $16.4 trillion – without first getting approval from Congress. Proposals from the Republican-controlled U.S. House of Representatives would keep the longstanding requirement that an increase in the national debt ceiling be approved by Congress.
The discussion over this point hasn't gotten as much attention in the media as the rhetoric from both sides over such matters as tax rates for upper income people, proposed spending cuts and the president's proposal for $200 billion in new "stimulus" funding. But it seems this debate would be more of a Congress vs. the president issue than a Democrat vs. Republican matter.
This is more a question about which branch of the federal government has ultimate authority in a decision such as this, and we'd side with Congress. Sure, members of Congress will fuss and fight – and might even do a little political posturing – in debate whenever a decision over raising the debt ceiling might arise. But giving the president, and we're meaning ANY president here, the unchecked authority to borrow money whenever he or she feels like it is a bad move.
It seems that even current Democrats in Congress would want this authority to rest in the hands of the Congress and not the president because of the potential political impact. If a sitting president of either party would recklessly spend and raise the debt ceiling, surely a member of Congress of the same party would fear retribution for such action at the hands of voters in his or her district.
In today's climate of economic uncertainty and overspending, it's unwise to put so much monetary power into one politician's hands. The president, the Democrats and the Republicans can avert the fiscal cliff by compromising on any number of points, but authority to raise the debt ceiling should not be one of them.

Dynamic Network Administrator
Give your IT manager a voice
Dynamic Network Administration (D.N.A.) is a suite of end user and management applications and interfaces that enable the virtual enterprise by greatly simplifying administration of business critical telecommunications assets while increasing productivity and providing flexible access to end users. Launched as a set of Microsoft Windows Operating System (client/server) management applications, D.N.A. effectively lets you manage all the elements of your Ericsson voice network as data resources. In other words, by putting all your network resources on the same Windows platform-you can view them together and control them from an already familiar desktop environment.
This is particularly important for large and fast growing organizations with multi-vendor, multi-applications networks. Ericsson s support of an open platform lets you add common management applications-fault, configuration, accounting, performance and security-from Ericsson or from a wide range of third-party vendors in a flexible way.
Management applications
D.N.A. gives IT managers the choice of managing the network from a single point or from multiple points. You can manage a network of any size simply by adding D.N.A. servers and linking these together over a WAN. And you can distribute management responsibility to designated individuals anywhere within the network, each with different levels of access.
D.N.A. Extension Manager (EMG) is an easy to use interface that enables the simplification of day-to-day moves, adds and changes of MD110 telephone extensions.
D.N.A. Directory Manager (DMG) provides a user-friendly interface to setup and maintain the enterprise-wide directory information. This simple interface provides a single point of entry for the management of the Enterprise directory data
D.N.A. Performance Manager (PMG) is a simple MD110 traffic measurement and reporting tool allowing you to monitor and analyze MD110 performance factors from a graphical desktop interface.
End-users and customers applications
The same flexible approach applies to directory information. You can provide end-users-and customers-with direct access to your organization s directory for fast, accurate and cost-effective call handling. Moreover, you can share data-directory information, human resources, accounting and so on-between the D.N.A. database and any other database within your environment, dramatically reducing training and service costs.
Personal Assistant for Smartphone
with an enhanced user interface for Sony Ericsson P900 provides users connected to Mobile Extension, with truly unlimited mobility. The P900 incorporates Corporate Telephony designed to strengthen the usability of MD110 system features by providing an intuitive graphical user interface.
D.N.A. Operator Workstation (OWS) is a powerful, easy-to-use PC application for MD110 switchboard operators. It provides integrated Operator Console and Directory Services for the MD110 PBX network
Ericsson Communication Assistant equips every employee access to the corporate directory with tools for controlling calls, managing Personal Number and messages all from a web interface.
D.N.A. Mobile Executive (DME) is a WAP-based application that gives the mobile worker access to the corporate directory, Personal Number control and message diversion.
Ericsson Communication Client (ECC) is a PC-based IP Soft Phone that provides access to the corporate directory, Personal Number and IP business class telephony features.
Voice Activated Assistant (VAA)
is what speech activates the corporate directory. With VAA is possible to call anyone in the corporate directory by simple speaking his/her name from any location.

Sponsored Deals
They're like ads, but good.
OK, yes, companies pay a little something to be Sponsored Deals. But we don't allow just any old crap in this section. Sponsored Deals are proposed to us by other retailers, manufacturers, and even other daily deal sites. If we find the deal compelling enough that our members will appreciate us bringing it to their attention, we'll feature it here. Believe it or not, we have a reputation to uphold. If your store would like to be considered for this space, please contact us for details. But if your deal is lame, or sketchy, no amount of money will let you buy your way in.
Community Deals
It's whatever you want it to be.
Pretty much, anyway. This is where you find the deals that wooters like you have ferreted out and brought to light. We're thinking it'll turn into a massive database of discounted products from around the Web, constantly expanding to absorb the newest deals from the very moment their prices are slashed, with each deal immediately rated by hordes of savvy voters to spotlight the very greatest deals in the world today. Hey, we can dream, right?
We use a fancy algorithm to determine which deals are catching the most buzz – they're under the Popular tab, which is the default view of this section. You can look for the most popular deals today, this week, or this month. The Fresh tab features the most recently submitted deals, so that's where to look for deals that everybody else doesn't know about yet. And the Search bar does what a Search bar does, only, uh, much wootier! Yeah! Right on!
Ask The Community
They probably won't bite.
Organic bullets? Vegetarian haggis? Cheap tickets to Antarctica? The best high-performance sweatsocks for under $100? If you're looking for a deal that doesn't appear to show up in our Community Deals section, throw the question to your fellow cheapskates. Or answer a question for one of your fellow cheapskates. Or vote for your favorite questions, or your favorite answers, or… maybe we should call this section "Ask, Answer, Comment On, And Vote In The Community", but that won't fit on the page.

The headline, or listing title, is a place where sellers often miss opportunities, says eBay expert Skip McGrath, author of Titanium eBay: A Tactical Guide to Becoming a Millionaire Power-Seller.
"One of the big mistakes people make is not using the right keywords," McGrath says. He also says that 75 percent of eBay buyers use the search engine to find items, and choosing the wrong words or being too vague puts a seller at a disadvantage. For example, if you are selling an appliance or electronic device, put as many relevant details as possible in the headline, including the brand and model number. "If someone is looking for a specific Nikon camera, they'll search for a Nikon D80 SLR," McGrath says. "If you just put 'Nikon camera' in your headline, [it] could get lost among thousands of listings."
4. Show your stuff. Foley found early on that a good picture can pay off.
McGrath says that approximately four pictures is best for an average listing. "If you have a one-photo listing, people often won't bid on it because they wonder, 'Why didn't this person show me more?' If you have more than four, then your listing can take too long to download," he explains. Of course, this depends on the product you're selling--if you have a CD for sale, you obviously don't need to include four pictures.
Shoot your products on a clear background without other items that can be distracting or cause confusion, he advises. Include everything that comes with the item, including accessories, instructions and original packaging. Make sure photos are clear and well-lit. In addition, McGrath says, it's vital to take clear shots that show any damage or defect the item has.
"It's hard to describe a scratch so someone can picture [it] exactly, but if you put a picture that shows it, the person can see it and say, 'Oh, that's not too bad,'" McGrath explains. "It avoids problems in the long run."
5. Develop your descriptions. McGrath fires off several rules for developing effective descriptions. Write short sentences and short paragraphs with lots of white space between them to make the descriptions easy to read. "It's tough to read something that is 300 words and all one block of text," he says.
Sween adds that the description should be complete but easy to read and recommends using bullet points and clear spacing. But that doesn't mean your description needs to be short. Instead, she advises writing about the product until you run out of things to say about it. "If you're a seller on eBay and you're getting a lot of questions about your listings, then your descriptions are probably too short," she says.
At the end of your description, reiterate your shipping and return policies, and most important, ask for the order. Says McGrath, "I put an action sentence at the end of every description that says, 'Don't lose out. Place your best bid now.'"
6. Keep in touch. Rhonda Ikner of Semmes, Alabama, places an emphasis on communicating with customers who order from her. Each package of the vintage vinyl baby dolls that she sells under the eBay User ID dixiedollie comes with a small business card reminding customers of her trade name and encouraging them to leave positive feedback. Ikner, 42, gets the cards free from online printer VistaPrint, which offers up to 250 business cards for only the cost of shipping. She also includes a thank-you note, a coupon redeemable on a future purchase and packs of gum or pencils imprinted with her eBay User ID. Says Ikner, "All that helps them remember me and think of me when they're shopping next time."

Internet Relay Chat (IRC) is a protocol for real-time Internet text messaging (chat) or synchronous conferencing. It is mainly designed for group communication in discussion forums, called channels, but also allows one-to-one communication via private message as well as chat and data transfer, including file sharing.
There is a guide for Setup pidgin with irc.
The official Foresight Linux IRC channel is #Foresight on the Freenode network.
There are also a number of other channels dedicated to Foresight Linux maintained by community members. See IRC Channels for a listing.
To join the channels, you need an irc client. Wikipedia has a list of irc clients. The following commands can be used inside your IRC client to connect to a server and join a channel:
/connect irc.freenode.net /join #foresight
#foresight - The official support channel
This is the main channel. The central topic for the channel is support and general discussion about Foresight Linux.
Use the following commands for help getting all set up with NickServ:
/query nickserv help register /query nickserv help identify
#foresight-devel - The official development channel
This is the development channel. The central topic for the channel is development and discussion about Foresight Linux.
#foresight guidelines
The main language of the channel is English. If you need help in another language, see the link above regarding other Foresight Linux channels. You can also do /query alis list #foresight*.
The channel topic often contains useful and/or important information. It is good practice to read it from time to time. You can use /topic to read it if your client does not display it.
Do not start flamewars, also avoid the "20 lines of 'foo > bar'" discussions.
Do not feed the trolls, if someone is trolling and/or baiting, then ignore them. Also feel free to notify a channel operator.
Spamming the channel is Bad (with a capital B). Use a pastebin if you have to paste something long (more than 3 lines). Pastebin and Dpaste are two popular ones within the Foresight community.
Chromium extension/plugin for Pastebin is available.
Do not ask to ask, if anyone is alive or if anyone uses something, just state your question.
Ask for help, do not demand it, if nobody replies, wait for a few minutes before you restate your question. Most questions get answered by 'just another user', just like you. Even the developers that frequent the channel do so on their own time, by their own accord, by their own free will.
Do not be shy, feel free to help others, 'everyone' has something to contribute. The channel is a community effort to provide support, and depends on volunteers.
When asking for help, always reply to people that ask you for more information, if you do not know the answer then say so.
Set a good example; be what you want other people to be. If you act like a moron, then people will respond to you as if you were one. The behavior of those already in the channel is also a big influence on those new to the channel. If you want the channel to be a friendly place, then be friendly to others.

There has been a lot of buzz the last few weeks over Google's announcement to integrate Google + into search engine results (did you catch that reference, if not review the last sentence one more time, if you still don't get the reference you are lame). If you are looking at the title of this post in bewilderment, stay tuned to find out just how I learned that I am a 35-44 year old male.
Anyway, when Google + was released this summer it caused a lot of initial hype as Facebook's new potential competitor. However, after a few months Google + faded into the social media background for the majority of people.
Now, Google has announced that it will leverage its search engine power to promote its social media platform by integrating Google + listings into search results. Google announced the change as a strategy to generate social results that are more relevant and personalized. Check out their promotional video for what they call Search Plus Your World below.
Search Plus Your World might actually be awesome for Google + users that have a lot of interaction on the social network. However, it poses some new challenges to businesses. Here is a high level look at a few:
1 – Search Engine Ranking
Google + business pages or a lack thereof will affect search engine rankings. It is not entirely clear how much search engine rankings will be affected in the future (when is Google's algorithm ever clear?) But, for now at least having a Google + business page provides the opportunity to potentially push a competitors listing to the second results page.
2 – Branding
It is important to claim your Google + business page before someone else does (remember, the trouble brands had with people sitting on their brand name Twitter handles?) Google + poses a great risk for brands that have their business pages hijacked because the illegitimate page is likely to show up in search results for the brand.
Similarly, as Google + grows both negative and positive mentions by users will start appearing in organic search results giving it the potential to become an even more pervasive social review platform than TripAdvisor, Yelp or OpenTable to name a few.
3- Content
Content obviously drives both branding and search engine ranking, which is why it is important to include strategic keywords in Google + postings. Google + is different from Facebook because it focuses more on singular images within posts as opposed to uploading entire albums of photos. Posts should include a strong image and strategic keywords that your audience is likely to search, while still providing valuable and entertaining content.
Make sure you get your business's Google + page setup.
Now, back to how I found out that I am really a 35-44 year old male as opposed to a 20-25 year old female as I had previously believed. Well, this morning Google reached out and told me. As you may or may not know Google released a new privacy policy. In doing so they also published an Ad Preferences section on your Google account. This section tracks what websites you visit and determines your demographics based on that information. That my friends, is how I now know I am a 35-44 year old male stuck in this young, white chicks body.
Or, maybe the opposite is true. Maybe 35-44 year old males have the web browsing habits of a 20 something female? Just saying, some of my recent online activity includes obsessive Pinterest-ing and purchasing several swimsuits from VictoriasSecret.com. I am starting to think this may say more about about the middle-age male demographic than it does about me.
You can find out who Google thinks you are by visiting this Ad Preferences page.
For Marcus Hotels and Resorts employees:
If you are a Marcus Hotels and Resorts owned or managed property please submit a web request for us to create the page for you. Google + is structured so that each page has one owner and several managers. As a result, it is important that the page is set up using a corporate group email address as the owner with each of the social media experts at the property and at the agency as managers to protect the account in the case of personnel changeover. There is nothing worse than trying to reclaim your social media accounts from an ex-employee or agency.

The only boho bone in my body lies in my dreams of one day owning a beach house. I realized this when my Beach House board started to take shape on my Pinterest. A trend slowly formed and my inner global table/Cali girl started to emerge as I collected images of blindingly white spaces with wood accents. Could this be the place where I shed my black moto boot/skinny jean/flannel shirt ensemble?
Here are some of my favorite images.

This house is absolutely insane. You're seeing the outdoor patio bar that has straight shot service from the house's kitchen.
Source: karina-elbeso.blogspot.com via Courtney @bigbeigebox on Pinterest
This is what I'd like the kitchen to look like inside, minus the folksy chairs. The stainless steel appliances, plus the huge, hunkin wood table, pulled on top of those concrete floors are functional and polished at the same time.
Source: elledecor.com via Courtney @bigbeigebox on Pinterest
I will never do rustic in the bedroom. This one above is neutral and white enough to be a peaceful sanctuary and does NOT throw a "vacation rental" vibe. I never understood why people would skimp on their bedrooms at beach houses. You are on vacation, why sleep on a crappy bed with mismatched sheets? And don't get me started on the use of knotty pine in many of these places.
Source: blushingandsweet.com via Courtney @bigbeigebox on Pinterest
Continuing the white/wood vibe, an amazing living room. Bleachable slip covers eliminate the concern for dirty beach feet and wet bathing suit bottoms. I was always getting yelled at as a kid to get my sandy ass off the couch. Not in my beach house!
Do you Pinterest? Have any cool pins on beach house living? Please comment below!

Lima Travel Guide
Lima Attractions
Top Attractions
Museo de la Nacion located at Javier Prado Oeste 2466 (San Borga); it has a comprehensive collection of archaeological items from early Peruvian times. Also found here are examples of stone carvings, Nazca pottery, and weaving artefacts of Paracas.
Museo de Oro Del Peru found at Alonso de Molina 1100 (Montenico); there are two collections here. The Gold Museum is a huge vault exhibiting numerous gold and silver pieces, including ponchos embroidered with hundred of solid-gold plates. Other exhibits on display are items made of silver; you also can see items made of pearls, emeralds, and lapis lazuli.
Museo de Oro del Peru found as above housing the second collection. This is the Arms Museum containing thousands of ancient firearms from all over the world. Do visit the private collection here, very popular with tourists; there's a small admission charge for entry into both museums.
San Francisco located on the corner of Ancash and Lampa - It's best to get a guided tour for a small charge; it's one of the best-preserved 17th century churches in Lima. The tours visit the cloister, a fine museum of religious art, library, and catacombs. The catacombs have an estimated 65-70,000 burials and people who might be a little faint at the sight of bone-filled crypts!
Museo Larco (Larco Museum) found at 1515 Ave. Bolivar in the Pueblo Libre district of Lima, Peru. This museum houses about 45,000 pre-Columbian objects. Its collections range from metals, to ceramics, to textiles. The most interesting gallery is the Erotic Gallery which showcases the sexual representations in ceramic art.

La Casa de la Miyer Artesana Manuela Ramos in Juan Pablo Fernandini is a good place to find good-quality craftwork from all over Peru.
Lima Beaches

Punta Hermosa located again just south of Lima; this beach is also very popular and has hostels close by so you may overnight at very reasonable price.
San Bartolo just south of Punta Hermosa; this beach also has hostels nearby for overnight stays. It's again, very popular, but with all beaches in Peru, be aware of pickpockets secure all your personal belongings.
Lima Restaurants and Bars

About The Perfect Pantry® and how to use it
Hi! My name is Lydia Walshin. I live in Rhode Island, in a small log house in the woods, five miles from the nearest grocery store. In early 2015 my husband Ted and I, empty-nesters with two cats, will be returning to downtown Boston, where we have an even smaller apartment, a tiny kitchen, and a miniscule (yet very close to perfect) pantry.
For updates on the plans for our tiny kitchen, and the challenges of downsizing, subscribe to Tidbits, my six-times-a-year newsletter filled with all sorts of goodies you won't find here on the blog. It's free, and fun.
For the past 25 years I've been a food writer, and I've been a writer, mostly for nonprofit organizations, for my entire career. I've been writing The Perfect Pantry since June 2006. You can go back to the beginning and read every post, starting here.
About The Perfect Pantry®
The Perfect Pantry features more than 250 pantry ingredients used in everyday cooking -- common ingredients like salt, pepper, butter, flour -- and ingredients fundamental to a wide range of ethnic cuisines.
When I started this blog, I planned to write one post featuring each of the ingredients in my pantry, and to finish within one year. Would this be the blueprint for a book? At the time I thought it might be, and I knew that having a deadline would help me get it done. However, after a few months, I realized the blog had taken on its own life. I no longer wished to write a book, and I wanted to learn more about blogging. I also wanted to keep exploring ingredients, both familiar and new, and to share more recipes for how to use the ingredients.
I write about and photograph the actual things I keep in my pantry -- the brands and sources I prefer and purchase over and over again -- and each post includes a recipe using ingredients from the pantry, combined with fresh ingredients like vegetables, meat and fish. Many of the recipes are my own; others come from or are inspired by cookbooks, web sites, chefs, friends and tradition.
I don't accept free samples or write posts paid for by companies who want to promote their products. Every ingredient I write about on this blog is something I've bought.
How to use this site
- If you have a spice or grain or other ingredient in your pantry and don't know what to do with it, use the search box at top right to find several recipes for any of the more than 250 pantry ingredients I keep on hand.
- More recent recipes include a list called From the pantry, you'll need. Follow the links to learn more fascinating and fun facts about each pantry ingredient that particular recipe will use.
- If you're looking for a specific recipe or recipe ideas, use the index (recipes by main ingredient, by type, or by cuisine) in the left column.
- For a list of everything in my pantry today, click The Ingredients at the top of the page.
Questions about ingredients
One of the ways I learn is by trying to answer your questions. When I don't know the answer, I'll read and ask and find the answer for you, or refer you to a more qualified source.
The best way to ask questions is to leave a comment on the relevant post. However, if your question is off the topic of a specific post, please post your question on our Facebook page or email to me at lydia AT theperfectpantry DOT com.
Comments and replies
Do you like something I've written about an ingredient? Does the recipe appeal to you? Do you have your own recipe for the ingredient, or a twist on the standard? Did I make a mistake in a recipe? Do you know more about the ingredient, to add to our knowledge? Please share your feedback in the comments. Not only does it let me know that you're enjoying and finding good information in the post; it also opens the conversation to other readers.
If you leave a substantive comment or ask a question about the post or the recipe, I'll always respond publicly, in the comments. I respond to some comments by email, too. Please know that I appreciate, more than you can imagine, the time you take to write and share your thoughts and enthusiasm and feedback.
While I welcome comments that might not agree with something I've written, I request that comments be polite and considerate of others. Comments that contain profanity or nastiness or are rude to others will be deleted. Comments the sole purpose of which is to promote your web site or other commercial venture will be deleted, and repeat offenders will be blocked. My blog, my rules.
Comments are moderated, which means I have to approve them before publication. I'm sorry to have to do this, but the blog gets a huge number of spam comments every day, and I don't think you should have to read them.
Thank you so much for visiting The Perfect Pantry.

Education centre > Nourishing Deciduous Biodiversity
Nourishing Deciduous Biodiversity
Contributed by Gunavant M. Oza and Tvisha M. Pandya, The Foundation for Environmental Awareness, Oza Building, Salatwada Baroda 390001 India. Department of Botany, The Maharaja Sayajirao University of Baroda, Baroda 390 002 India
Our common indigenous wild trees possess flamboyant foliage and handsome flowers, yet they are not given priority in parks, gardens, avenues, urban streets, human habitations and industrial estates. Greedy people from the urban environment have invaded our deciduous forests and plundered our biodiversity. Humankind has often missed the opportunity to behold the beauty of nature.
With a view to encouraging appreciation of the wealth of the last remnants of our deciduous floristic elements, now is the time to nourish deciduous biodiversity in vast areas of the Indian subcontinent. Some other tree species with a very wide geographical range may not be indigenous, but they have nicely adapted to Indian conditions and are rated as naturalised.
This presentation is an attempt to typify harmonious relationship between people and nature. We are committed to the Convention on Biodiversity (1992) and have an obligation to conserve our biodiversity.
We wish to highlight some of the most conspicuous flowering plant species observed in our field studies in the Panchmahals (western India), during different months over a period of three years (Pandya and Oza 1998). Inculcating biodiversity events of the year (a flowering calendar), in our lifestyle, we shall serve the cause of Indian philosophy and culture, and thereby promote the protection of the disappearing deciduous trees. Such trees in our environment shall signify monumental sanctuaries attracting a great diversity of birds to lend music and colour at our doorstep. Hence, the authors appeal to the legion of nature lovers to bestow utmost priority in afforestation endeavours, both in the wild and urban environments, to the following species:
Original homes of the plant species are given in parentheses, followed by local names in Gujarati.

Latest Fashion Features Articles
NEW YORK — All signs point to a healthy holiday season.
Shoppers mobbed stores around the country last weekend, but the retail trade actually started picking up earlier in the week due to rampant pre-Thanksgiving price breaks, colder weather, extended operating hours and a pent-up demand for fashion.
"This spells a very good Christmas -- a record Christmas," said Philip Miller, chairman and chief executive officer of Saks Fifth Avenue. "There's a general feeling of confidence and well being. The only thing that could get us in trouble is severe weather on peak weekends."
"There seems to be a real turn on the part of customers buying apparel," said Tom Gould, chairman and ceo of Younkers Inc. "We had a terrific performance the day before and after Thanksgiving, and Saturday. Coats made a strong comeback, as the weather finally got cold, and gloves and sweaters are finally selling."
Stores are generally predicting around 6 percent sales gains for the season and will benefit this year by having an extra Saturday for shopping. Christmas falls on a Sunday, while last year, it fell on a Saturday.

Recruiter called last nite-need advice - page 2
Hello military nurses, I have been reading some of the threads and am impressed with you all; Congratulations and THANK YOU!! I turned 47 this week, and will be graduating from AD RN in Connecticut program in 3 weeks. I have... Read More
- 0Apr 27, '06 by ZASHAGALKAYou know how to tell when a recruiter is lying to you??
His lips are moving.
- 0Apr 27, '06 by SmilingBluEyescute joke.
Good luck to the OP!
- 0Hi,
Thanks you guys for the checking you have done for me. I'm meeting with the recruiter on Monday afternoon, so I will post what he says. I will watch his lips closely.
I was telling my husband about the physical fitness test, and that it consisted of situps, pushups and a 2 mile run. He asked if that was 'girl'or 'guy' pushups. I of course, had visualized 'girl' pushups, but we quickly concluded that was probably not what the Army had in mind. He said, 'drop and give me 20'.
Result: Army pushups attempted: 1
Army pushups completed: 0
We were crying laughing.
P.S. I realize that this is not in least bit funny.
- 0Hi,
I found this:
here it seems to say Permanent Resident is OK.
- 0Apr 27, '06 by wtbcrna, MSN, DNP, CRNA GuideQuote from Linda8Hi,
I found this:
here it seems to say Permanent Resident is OK.
My faith in recruiters has been restored.....not.....lol...
Sounds great though!!!
Let us know how it goes!
Good Luck
- 0Apr 27, '06 by ANC_MajThis probably goes without saying at this point, but make sure you are working with a Healthcare Recruiter - it does make a difference. If something you hear from the recruiter doesn't sound right, check it out by asking around. Also, it wouldn't hurt to blatantly ask the question "What will my rank be?"
OK - as far as the pushups are concerned, you were right no "girl" pushups for this man's Army! Here are the standards for passing and "maxing" the APFT for your age and gender
2 mile run - 24:00 pass, 17:36 max
Push-ups - 10 pass, 34 max
Sit-ups - 30 pass, 66 max
Good luck and please share what you learn from the recruiter.
- 0Apr 28, '06 by athena55Hi Linda 8:
Thank you for considering giving of yourself and attempting to become a Commissioned Officer in the ANC!
I was the "ripe' ol' age of 49. Just made my BMI....BUT I was able to re-join a gym and began training in earnest. Before I could do 2 push-ups (barely) Now I can do 20 before starting to strain. Sit-ups not so much of a problem, but that 2 mile run YIKES! I hate to run, why, I don't even run for the ferry! Thank goodness I like to bicycle around my county which helped me prepare (I don't own an automobile).
For your physical, be prepared to do the "duck walk" believe it or not that was the hardest, for me, I kept falling over (sigh) but I done did it!
Good Luck May 1 Keep us posted
- 0Apr 29, '06 by Corvette GuyLinda8 - Hello, and I think it is great your interest in the Army Nurse Corps, Reserve Component [RC]. I would have posted on your Thread sooner, yet my time is very limited these days D/T my Critical Care Nursing Course at Madigan Army Medical Center.
First, ANC_Maj is an excellent resource on allnurses.com for ANC info. So, I agree you should listen to what an Army Health Care Recruiter [AHCR] tells you. Are they correct 101% of the time? Nope, but more because they were never a member of the Army Medical Department [AMEDD] & not because their lips are moving [LOL!!!] Yes, I'm well aware that some of the Armed Forces Recruiters are known to leave out info, or stretch the truth when speaking to a military candidate. Yet, very few out an out lie. Again, AHCRs are in a different category than your typical recruiter. The AHCRs mission is to recruit from the professional [healthcare profession] civilian sector those individuals which AMEDD Officer potential. BTW, a few AHCR Stations have recruiters that are ANC Officers.
Second, the age limit is 46. However, the AMEDD needs qualified ANC members. Therefore, I would guess a waiver in your case would come into play. Here is a website you NEED to visit; Army Nurse Corps Overview Then, notice on that page in the upper left corner are other areas of interest specific to the ANC that you can click; Corps Benefits, Corps Specialties & Requirements, AMEDD Careers & Jobs, and Corps Profiles.
Third, ANC_Maj posted the APFT [Army Physical Fitness] requirements for your gender & age. PLEASE, make sure you can do at least the minimum. Plus, you need to find the body weight & BF% allowed for your gender & age, too. I could dig up the info, yet an AHCR should be able to provide you with the applicable charts for your easy reference. I have noticed many new ANC Officers come on board unable to pass an APFT & do not meet the HT/WT standards. These two areas are definitely critical to a successful ANC career.
Fourth, no matter what the AHCR tells you ANC Officers [RC] have three years to attend the AMEDD OBC [ 2 week Officer Basic Course]. Again, they can be uninformed in some areas, yet still very knowledgable in other areas. When I took oath of office for reserve commission I was an ADN. I was already knee deep in an RN-BSN program and 11 months after joining the ANC [RC] I completed my BSN. I did not attend AMEDD OBC until 15 months after my reserve commission. I told my reserve unit my expected BSN graduation date, and they allowed me to request an OBC date that would allow me to graduate without interruption. You can go to monthly drills [now termed battle assembly] and even the two weeks annual training before going to AMEDD OBC, at least I did. BTW, the two weeks annual training, at least in the ANC, is not training per say. My first annual training was working fulltime on the Stepdown Unit taking care of Mech Vent patients at Brooke Army Medical Center. I was solo on my second day with 2 patients. I worked 12 hr shifts. It was great!
Anyway, it is possible for you to come on to the ANC [RC] as an ADN, then finish your BSN while making your monthly reserve obligations. BTW, it is my understanding you are most likely not going to be mobilized [brought on to active duty for 6-18 months] until you have completed the AMEDD OBC. I say most likely D/T we are at war [GWOT- Global War on Terrorism], yet technically you are not ANC qualified until completion of AMEDD OBC.
Another thing; you need to make it clear to your AHCR you want to be designated as critical care nurse in the ANC, rather than a med/surg nurse. However, you may not have enough civilian nurse experience for the AMEDD to accept you as a 66H8A, which is an ANC critical care nurse code identifier. Maybe, arrangements [as in needs to be written in your military orders] can be made for you to attend the CCNC the AMEDD C&S offers so you can gain the 8A critical care identifier. This way you can join the ANC [RC] as a med/surg nurse [66H], then in the near future gain the 8A skill identifier. Plus, I know of ANC 66Hs that work in the ICUs via there reserve unit. You have to be an advocate for yourself in the ANC, which is fine because your an officer & an asset to the AMEDD.
I hope I have not caused you more confusion. My post are what I have experienced first-hand, or from reliable sources. I will not advise you on which direction you should take towards the ANC [RC]. However, I will do my best to share relevant experiences to help you become better informed in order for you to make the best decision for you and your family.
Pssst, IMHO the AMEDD ANC is an outstanding place for registered nurses regards to respect, honor, advancement, and vast opportunities in nursing education.
- 0Apr 30, '06 by nuberianne_RNLast year my husband sought out some info to join the Army as a healthcare administrator. He was given info that said he did not need to be a US citizen. However, he was later told that he has to be a citizen and was given the copy of the instruction that stated this.
For everyone that is thinking of joining the military one valuable piece of advice I can give you is this. Superiors may threaten you, recruiters tell you what you want to hear, and your fellow sailors, soldiers, etc. pass on great rumors. However, if it is not stated in an instruction (written regulation) then IT IS NOT TRUE! As a vet who spent six years in the military (non-healthcare related) I cannot stress to you how important that is.
Oh yeah. One more piece of advice. Whenever you are promised anything. GET IT IN WRITING!
I wish everyone the best. Take care.

So I thought falling in love was this difficult hard task. The truth is its so super easy and effortless with Tareq. I really love Tareq a lot. I never thought I could feel like this. I always thought It was hard, and you would have to make up all these lies and stories and sucker someone into wanting to be with you, in this case , its not like that. I mean. I just really enjoy it, and I pray everyday for finding someone just like me. And for it to stay that way.
Yeah I really never knew I was a sucker for love, or at least for Tareq.

great By Raul on 12/5/2014Raul would recommend this product to a friendused this valve to fine tune my gfo reactor. works excellent.
Nice valve - adjusts easily By Aaron on 4/20/2014Aaron would recommend this product to a friendGood quality valve. Makes adjusting my Herbie overflow system easy. They are quite expensive, but overall worth it for the ease of adjustment.
Excellent product By Chris on 12/26/2013Chris would recommend this product to a friendHigh quality valve and BRS had the best prices from any vendor, hobby related or not
EXCELLENT! By Chris on 11/18/2013Chris would recommend this product to a friendHighest quality valves i've had or seen period! Well worth the price and wouldn't purchase any other valves after having these.
Best Gate Valve Around By Anne on 10/20/2013Anne would recommend this product to a friendI've used a few gate valves for different pieces of equipment on my tank and after having one fail and start leaking from the top I ordered this valve in 3/4" threaded fittings. Since this was to replace a valve that was currently running on the tank, I needed it fast. I ordered late Thursday night and had it early Saturday morning.
Installing it was pretty easy and straightforward as you would expect. The valve itself was also the smoothest hate valve I've ever used. It is also nice and tight meaning that I actually feel like I'm moving the gate when I twist the handle. Other valves I've used have turned so freely that it was as if they weren't actually being adjusted (in fact one valve stopped responding to the handle being turned) or others were nearly impossible to turn at all. I will say the one thing I was a little worried about was the amount of resistance I felt when I got the valve almost closed the first time. I actually thought I had cracked the gate but after disassembling the valve (the nuts are a great feature) I found no damage anywhere. After the initial time closing the valve all the way it became just as easy to close the valve as it was to adjust it while it was more open.
Very high-quality gate valve By David on 6/13/2013David would recommend this product to a friendOn the pricey side, but you get what you pay for.
Great valve for flow control By Jeff on 5/4/2013Jeff would recommend this product to a friendKinda spendy but a very well built valve.
Draining By Trojan on 4/7/2013Trojan would recommend this product to a friendI am using two of these for my drain line for my overflow, I was able to dial the amount coming out without the noise of noraml drain lines.
Nice and BIG By Andre on 8/27/2012Andre would recommend this product to a friendI purchased the 1.5" models and the first thing you will notice is the size, next you will turn the handle and see how smooth and easy they turn. Excellent product!
Super Solid By Lucas on 7/2/2012Lucas would recommend this product to a friendI've done a lot of PVC plumbing for not just reefing, but also industrial applications at work, and rarely do you find PVC fittings as sturdy and well built as this, even compared to other Sch 80 parts. This is a great piece of equipment. The ability to disassemble and clean/repair is just icing on the cake for a reefer.
Great Gate Valve By Ben on 4/12/2012Ben would recommend this product to a friendVery well made and robust. Very good at throttle volume control.
Top quality By Chris on 12/14/2011Chris would recommend this product to a friendVery well built valve. None of the wobblines that some cheaper ones have when you turn the dial. This one feels solid not like the shaft is going to twist in half in a moment. It can also be disassembled for service which I find very nice.

The golden rule of plumbing is that every job takes three trips to the store. While this can be frustrating locally it can be much worse when shopping online. Being short a fitting or two can delay a plumbing project for days. Here are some quick tips to avoid this.
- Plan your plumbing on paper
- Don't skimp on unions. Unions allow for easy breakdown and maintenance as well as remove the need for precise elbow placement. Use them as often as possible.
- When in doubt order extra. We happily accept returns for a full refund (less shipping) on all unused fittings within one month of purchase. A few extra bucks in return shipping is less frustrating than a project delay.

A fixed-wing aircraft, typically called an aeroplane, airplane or simply plane, is an aircraft capable of flight using forward motion that generates lift as the wing moves through the air. Planes include jet engine and propeller driven vehicles propelled forward by thrust, as well as unpowered aircraft (such as gliders), which use thermals, or warm-air pockets to inherit lift. Fixed-wing aircraft are distinct from ornithopters in which lift is generated by flapping wings and rotary-wing aircraft in which wings rotate about a fixed mast.
Most fixed-wing aircraft are flown by a pilot on board the aircraft, but some are designed to be remotely or computer controlled.
First attested in English in late 19th century, the word aeroplane derives from the French "aéroplane", which comes from the Greek "ἀήρ" (aēr), "air"[1] + "πλάνος" (planos), "wandering".[2][3] An ancient Greek term coined from these two words is "ἀερόπλανος" (aeroplanos), "wandering in air".[4]
In the United Kingdom and most of the Commonwealth, the term "aeroplane" is used. In the United States and Canada, the term "airplane" is applied to these aircraft. The form "aeroplane" is the older of the two, dating back to the mid- to late-19th century.[5] The spelling "airplane" was first recorded in 1907.[6]
Heavier-than-air flying machines are impossible.[7]
The dream of flight goes back to the days of pre-history. Many stories from antiquity involve flight, such as the Greek legend of Icarus and Daedalus, and the Vimana in ancient Indian epics. Around 400 BC, Archytas, the Ancient Greek philosopher, mathematician, astronomer, statesman, and strategist, was reputed to have designed and built the first artificial, self-propelled flying device, a bird-shaped model propelled by a jet of what was probably steam, said to have actually flown some 200 m.[8][9] This machine, which its inventor called The Pigeon (Greek: η Περιστέρα "hè Peristera"), may have been suspended on a wire or pivot for its flight.[10][11] One of the first recorded – still dilettante – attempts with gliders were those by the 11th century monk Eilmer of Malmesbury (recorded in the 12th century) and the 9th century poet Abbas Ibn Firnas (recorded in the 17th century); both experiments ended with lasting injuries to their pilots.[12] Leonardo da Vinci researched the wing design of birds and designed a man-powered aircraft in his Codex on the Flight of Birds (1502). In the 18th century, Francois Pilatre de Rozier and François Laurent d'Arlandes flew in an aircraft lighter than air, a balloon. The biggest challenge became to create other craft, capable of controlled flight.
Sir George Cayley, the founder of the science of aerodynamics, credited as the first person to separate the forces of lift and drag which are in effect on any flight vehicle, in 1799 he set forth the concept of the modern aeroplane as a fixed-wing flying machine with separate systems for lift, propulsion, and control.[13][14] Cayley was building and flying models of fixed-wing aircraft as early as 1803, and he built a successful passenger-carrying glider in 1853.[15] In 1856, Frenchman Jean-Marie Le Bris made the first powered flight, by having his glider "L'Albatros artificiel" pulled by a horse on a beach. On 28 August 1883, the American John J. Montgomery made a controlled flight in a glider. Other aviators who made similar flights at that time were Otto Lilienthal, Percy Pilcher and Octave Chanute.
In the 1890s, Australian inventor and aviator Lawrence Hargrave conducted research on wing structures and developed a box kite that lifted the weight of a man. His box kite designs were widely adopted and became the prevalent type of aircraft until 1909.[verification needed] Although he also developed a type of rotary aircraft engine, he did not create and fly a powered fixed-wing aircraft.[16]
An article in the Bridgeport Sunday Herald claimed that on 14 August 1901, in Fairfield, Connecticut, Gustave Whitehead reportedly flew his engine-powered Number 21 aeroplane for half a mile at 15 m height. No photographs were taken, but a sketch of the plane in the air was published with the article.[citation needed][17][18]
The Wright brothers made their first successful test flights on 17 December 1903. Their flights are recognised by the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale (FAI), the standard setting and record-keeping body for aeronautics and astronautics, as "the first sustained and controlled heavier-than-air powered flight".[19] By 1905, the Wright Flyer III was capable of fully controllable, stable flight for substantial periods.
On 12 November 1906, Santos-Dumont made what Brazilians say was the first airplane flight unassisted by catapult[20] and set the first world record recognised by the Aéro-Club de France by flying in less than 22 seconds.[21] This flight was also certified by the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale (FAI).[22][23]
World War I served as a testbed for the use of the aircraft as a weapon. Initially seen by the generals as a "toy", aircraft demonstrated their potential as mobile observation platforms, then proved themselves to be machines of war capable of causing casualties to the enemy. The earliest known aerial victory with a synchronised machine gun-armed fighter aircraft occurred on July 1, 1915, by German Luftstreitkräfte Leutnant Kurt Wintgens. "Fighter aces" appeared, described as "knights of the air"; the greatest (by number of air victories) was the German Manfred von Richthofen, the Red Baron. On the side of the allies, the ace with the highest number of downed aircraft was René Fonck, of France. All-metal-structure aircraft took their first steps into reality during the World War I era, through the work of Hugo Junkers in the creation of the Junkers J 1 in 1915.[citation needed]
Following the war, aircraft technology continued to develop. Alcock and Brown crossed the Atlantic non-stop for the first time in 1919, a feat first performed solo by Charles Lindbergh in 1927. The first commercial flights took place between the United States and Canada in 1919. The turbine or the jet engine was in development in the 1930s; military jet aircraft began operating in the 1940s.
Aircraft played a primary role in the Second World War, having a presence in all the major battles of the war: Pearl Harbor, the battles of the Pacific, the Battle of Britain. They were an essential component of the military strategies of the period, such as the German Blitzkrieg or the American and Japanese aircraft carrier campaigns of the Pacific.
In October 1947, Chuck Yeager was the first person to exceed the speed of sound, flying the Bell X-1.[citation needed]
Aircraft in a civil military role continued to feed and supply Berlin in 1948, when access to rail roads and roads to the city, completely surrounded by Eastern Germany, were blocked, by order of the Soviet Union.[citation needed]
The Cold War played a large role in the production of new aircraft, such as the B-52.[citation needed]
The first commercial jet, the de Havilland Comet, was introduced in 1952. The Boeing 707, the first widely successful commercial jet, was in commercial service for more than 50 years, from October 26, 1958 to June 22, 2010. The Boeing 727 was another widely used passenger aircraft, and the Boeing 747 was the world's biggest commercial aircraft between 1970 and 2005,[citation needed] when it was surpassed by the Airbus A380.
Some varieties of aircraft, such as flying wing aircraft, may lack a discernible fuselage structure and horizontal or vertical stabilisers, however the structure of a fixed-winged aircraft usually consists of the following major parts:
