"Great card for boy/girl twins! Love the bright colors and the polka dots on the back of the card. A little smaller size than I expected, but still a fun card."
"I love the Thank you cards I just received. Wrote one the day I got them. Just enough room so you don't feel like you have to write a lot."
"Ordered these (not as "thank you" but as a "hello!" note) for my 11 year-old niece's b-day. She's not into flower and typical girly stuff, so this design was perfect for her. It came out beautiful. I do wish, though, that TinyPrints would offer boxes for their products. The "presentation" factor for the stationary as a gift isn't great. I'm going to pull it all out of the plastic & wrap in a ribbon, but wish there was a proper sized box that I could buy in which my niece could keep the stationary."
"I love the quality of the paper on this card. I also love that it gets my daughter involved in writing the thank you cards. I actually got mine printed without a name so that it could be even more personalized and so that my daughter can practice writing her name even more. I highly recommend this cute card!"
"My kids (while not twins) are only a few years apart and often get gifts at the same time or go to birthday parties for friends together. It is nice to be able to write a joint thank you note from both. I personalized this so that the & symbol became an "and/or" so I could use this also just to thank from one child (figured I could circle their name when it's just from them). They turned out really cute. I wish Tiny Prints had more items that you could put two names on like this, like just regular personalized notes!"

Steve Jobs, the late longtime CEO of Apple, never cared for a 7-inch iPad, saying "the screen is too small to express the software." But the company may be taking a second look with the success of the Amazon Kindle Fire.
Stories have already been spreading about the upcoming iPad 3. AllThingsD reported that Apple plans to introduce the iPad 3 during the first full week of March, and will start to sell it a week later. Sources said the company will introduce the tablet at a special event in San Francisco, most likely at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, Apple's preferred location.
Also, analyst Ezra Gottheil predicts that the company will launch a 7-inch iPad later in the year that may contain a wireless keyboard-case. "[The next iPad] will have a higher-resolution screen that Apple will call a Retina display, even if it's not," said Gottheil, according to Computerworld. "That's important to Apple because it means the iPad will work well in their home theater play, since it will display full HD."
Gottheil said he didn't believe the iPad 3's processor would be quad-core because of the power requirements, and thinks Apple is more likely to use a faster dual-core system. He expected Siri to be available, and predicts the company will continue to sell the iPad 2 with Wi-Fi only and 16GB of flash storage space for around $400.
Apple iPad 3 rumors include release date and possible Siri addition

Apple iPad 3 release may have iPad 4 on its heels
Despite Apple's recent incredible sales numbers, the iPad is still losing market share to tablets on Androids. The Los Angeles Times reported that Apple sold 15.43 million iPads in the fourth quarter of 2011, but statistics show the iPad's share of the tablet market dropped from 68.2 percent to 57.6 percent in the fourth quarter, while Androids went from 29 percent in 2010 to 39.1 percent.
According to Apple Insider, images of the upcoming device have been showing up on the Internet. Reported back panel images showed different mounts for the logic board and a different camera and LCD display, along with a bigger battery. Pictures did not indicate any form changes, and there is a photo of a high-resolution LCD panel.

LGBTQ/SOGIE Community Training Team RFP
Allegheny County Department of Human Services has issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) to contract with interested, local community organizations or individuals to form a LGBTQ Community Training Team, which would be responsible for implementing an LGBTQ Train-the-Trainer curriculum across DHS's child-serving systems.
The goal of this effort is to develop a sustainable network of trainers to support the ongoing education of both DHS staff and provider agencies contracting with DHS. The training is one component of a larger initiative DHS is carrying out in partnership with the Center for the Study of Social Policy – which is to serve as a piloting jurisdiction to field test guidelines for collecting, sharing and disclosing data about sexual orientation and gender identity and expression (SOGIE) of children and youth in the child welfare system.
DHS is looking forward to partnering with a diverse and complementary training team and encourages all interested parties to respond to the RFP.

Promote Rockbuddy and Teressa Admins on Ustream.tv IRC
This petition is to get Rockbuddy and Teressa IRC Administrators on the network ustream.tv IRC Chat Server!
Ustream needs more trusted admins on the network to help manage users, at the moment they are using tools provided by another admin on the team to manage some of the network but somtimes this feature dies due to bad internet connection at time and there isn't allot of power within the bot.
Ustream needs to give them access to be able to ban people and help out with channel take overs as much as possible on ustream, at the moment, ustream has 4 admins on ustream who have that power but can sometimes be away from the computer.
Please sign this petition to make Rockbuddy and Teressa Full Ustream admins!!!

Looking back at my new years resolutions for 2013, I think I've done pretty good despite having gone through the toughest year of my life, which I didn't factor in when I wrote them. I'm still not where I want to be health wise but I've taken a lot of steps to get there. By health I mean that I unfortunately suffer from anxiety, (I'm very healthy in all other aspects), which unfortunately doesn't just stay in the mind; it prevents me from sleeping properly, which in turn makes me too tired to excersize, which means I don't destress. It's a bad spiral that never seems to end, but I'm putting a stop to it now in 2014. My main new years resolution is to start excersizing daily, no matter how tired I feel. It's no fun but it's gotta be done. No pills in the world can fix that, I just have to have some serious discipline and put my health first on a daily basis. And when I put my mind to something, I do it. I'm sooooo tired of being tired and not having the energy to do the things I love most – like music. I've got an exciting new band and sound that I'm super excited to get going with. Time to shake things up baby!!
Another new years resolution that I had was to go to the hair dresser and do something different for a change. Had the same hairstyle for the past couple years so it was time for a new do. And I actually followed through with this yesterday!
It's just a temporary haircut, I'll always prefer the long-hair look, but fun to try something new none the less! I'm in the midst of going through a complete makeover right now in every aspect, so this is just the icing on the cake. 2013 was also the year I got rid of my skin problems by switching to Dermalogica – and this has inspired me to put more effort into my appearance since I now have a "clean canvas" to work with. Swicthing skin care brands has prompted me to start researching skin care in general, and I found that I have kind of a passion for it haha, so much so that I will be blogging about my learnings soon cause there is so much out there that people don't think about when they shop for skin care products that I really want to share! It helps too that I'm friends with some estheticians so I'm constantly learning new things from them.
So I feel like a teenager again, taking selfies and looking at makeup tutorials on Youtube and hanging out at Sephora haha.. but hey, soon I'll be old and wrinkly, so gotta savor this time, right?
Also really excited to watch the deep house collective Sono Unica grow their brand this year – they've got three successful events behind them and so much more to come, and I'm so happy to be able to help out in any way that I can. For more info about what Sono Unica parties are all about, check out any of these articles (in Swedish) and then watch the after movie:
To the new year!

The number-one selling business shirt brand in the world, Van Heusen has been associated with stylish, affordable and high quality shirts since the introduction of the revolutionary patented soft-folding collar in 1921.
Today, the Van Heusen range has grown to include suits, business accessories, casual wear, and women's businesswear.
Van Heusen focuses on fit, fabric, finish and fashion, ensuring superior quality and comfort for our customers.
Van Heusens innovations in business apparel include:
Van Heusen is proud to offer the largest range of collar and sleeve length combinations in the Australasian market.
The Van Heusen story began in 1881 in Pottsville, Pennsylvania, where Moses Phillips & son Isaac began selling shirts, hand-sewn by Moses' wife Endel and their daughters, to the local coal miners. Quickly achieving success, Moses expanded the operation to New York City.
Almost 30 years on, in 1919, Dutch immigrant John Manning van Heusen was granted a patent for a new process he created that fused cloth on a curve, creating a comfortable soft-folding collar that retained the stiff-collar look of the era.
In New York, van Heusen met with Isaac Phillips, who bought the U.S. patent for van Heusen's revolutionary soft-folding collar, and the Phillips-Van Heusen (PVH) alliance was born.
From the 1930s, Van Heusen shirts were imported to Australia from England in small quantities, and a manufacturing plant was established in Melbourne in the mid 1960s to meet the growing demand for the brand in Australia.
In 1976, Gazal Corporation Limited acquired the license from PVH to manufacture and manage the Van Heusen brand in Australia, which continues to this day.
The Van Heusen brand is now also importantly linked to the international human rights movement via our USA licensor and all factories manufacturing any of our products must comply with a strict code of audited conditions. These encompass amongst other issues, minimum wages, hours of work, freedom of association, non-discrimination, no forced or child labour, health and safety standards plus environmental conditions.

Realishness and Realizing Realism
I write across a fair number of genres. Each form prides itself on telling True Stories that move beyond mere accuracy to expose underlying Reality. Even writers of "realistic" fiction carefully sift the many real and accurate possible details to find the one they perceive as most (contextually) powerful or interesting—leaving an awful lot of realism unrealized in any story.
This is not a rant against the definition of "real" or "true;" rather it's a personal exploration of the usefulness of varied viewpoints in collision with the conventions of genre and the marketplace. Continue reading

Here is Sneakas thoughts on the record:
"During this election week, one of the most important issues being Healthcare, I wanted to share with you my feelings about the healthcare industry as a a whole. Having lost my stepfather and the woman who helped raise me to Cancer in the same year and having worked in the healthcare industry for many years, I believe the public has the right to know the whole truth, at least my perspective on it. And with that make sure to vote Nov. 6th!!"

Defense Acquisitions:
Strategic Airlift Gap Has Been Addressed, but Tactical Airlift Plans Are Evolving as Key Issues Have Not Been Resolved
GAO-10-67: Published: Nov 12, 2009. Publicly Released: Nov 12, 2009.
Additional Materials:
- Highlights Page:
- Full Report:
- Accessible Text:
(202) 512-3000
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
Department of Defense (DOD) used nearly 700 aircraft, as well as commercial and leased aircraft, to carry about 3 million troops and 800,000 tons of cargo in support of wartime, peacetime, and humanitarian efforts in 2008. C-5s and C-17s move troops and cargo internationally (strategic airlift) and C-130s are the primary aircraft that moves them within a theater of operation (tactical airlift). Over the next 4 years, DOD plans to spend about $12 billion to modernize and procure airlifters and is currently studying how many it needs. The Government Accountability Office (GAO) was asked to (1) identify the status of DOD's modernization and acquisition efforts and (2) determine how well DOD is addressing any capability gaps and redundancies. In conducting this work, GAO identified the cost, schedule, and performance of airlift programs, as well as DOD's plan for addressing gaps and redundancies. GAO also discussed mobility study efforts with DOD, Institute for Defense Analysis (IDA), and RAND Coporation officials.
DOD has recently revamped airlift investments due to modernization cost increases and requirement changes. For strategic airlift, the number of C-5s that will be fully modernized were cut in half because of substantial reengining cost increases and C-17 quantities were increased from 180 to 213 aircraft. These twin changes resulted in a net cost increase of about$3 billion. Additional costs and force structure changes are possible pending decisions on C-5 retirements, other modifications, the potential need for more C-17s to meet tactical airlift needs, and the planned shutdown of C-17 production. For tactical airlift, substantial cost increases for modernizing C-130 avionics tripled unit costs, delayed its schedule, and resulted in almost 60 percent fewer aircraft being modernized. There have been large increases in the C-130J quantity to replace older C-130s, but modest increases in unit costs. The joint Army-Air Force C-27J program was recently transferred to the Air Force and quantities were cut from 78 to 38 aircraft, with an uncertain effect on the Army's airlift missions. The Army and Air Force must also resolve fundamental differences in operating requirements and employment strategy for the Joint Future Theater Lift (JFTL). DOD appears to have addressed its strategic airlift gap, but there is a potential future tactical airlift gap for moving medium weight equipment. Also, questions regarding how the Air Force will meet the Army's direct support mission have not been resolved. DOD is using $5.5 billion appropriated by Congress to procure 23 additional C-17s, which DOD officials believe more than offsets the strategic airlift gap associated with the restructured C-5 modernization program. However, there is a potential gap in the tactical airlift of medium weight loads beyond the capability of the C-130s. The C-17 is the only aircraft capable of moving this type of Army equipment within a theater of operation, although not to austere, short, or unimproved landing areas. The JFTL is envisioned to provide this capability, but will not be available for 15 years or more under the current acquisition strategy. While the various mobility studies acknowledge the C-17's significant dual role, they did not comprehensively evaluate the expanded use of the C-17 to transport medium weight equipment in theater and how this could impact the force structure, the C-17's service life, and decisions related to when to shut down the production line. In addition, questions remain about the number of C-130s and C-27Js needed to fulfill Army direct support missions. Two studies reached somewhat different conclusions about the cost effectiveness of using C-130Js and C-27Js for this mission. The Air Force and Army have not completed a plan for meeting Army direct support requirements, which could affect future decisions on both the C-27J and the C-130J. DOD's recently established portfolio management structure is supposed to provide a useful forum to address the broad range of airlift investment decisions. However, efforts so far have primarily focused on new programs rather than addressing gaps and making other airlift decisions such as when and how many C-5s to retire or the appropriate mix of C-130s and C-27Js needed to perform Army missions.
Recommendations for Executive Action
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: Air Mobility Command engaged RAND to define the Army's time-sensitive, mission-critical requirements and mix of aircraft needed to satisfy same. That report, as well as the results of the Mobility Capability Study, clarified the numbers of C-130 and C-27Js needed for special the Army cargo. A two-service working group honed working agreements and MOA regarding Air Force support of Army special needs.
Recommendation: To help improve DOD's management of strategic and tactical airlift assets, the Secretary of Defense should direct the Air Force and Army to reach agreement on plans detailing how Army time-sensitive, mission-critical requirements will be addressed and prioritized against other Air Force priorities.
Agency Affected: Department of Defense
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: Air Mobility Command engaged RAND to define the Army's time-sensitive, mission-critical requirements and mix of aircraft needed to satisfy same. Air Force also completed the mobility capabilities study that better defined C-130 requirements for common pool lift. The Air Force has also identified a quantity of C-130 aircraft to be specifically allocated to meet Army time sensitive, mission critical cargo requirements. Air Force and Army worked to define mission critical time sensitive needs and process. Management of C-27J moved to Air Force and the quantity was reduced.
Recommendation: To help improve DOD's management of strategic and tactical airlift assets, the Secretary of Defense should direct the Commander, Air Mobility Command, to determine the appropriate mix of C-27Js and C-130s that are needed to meet Army time-sensitive, mission-critical requirements and common user pool requirements.
Agency Affected: Department of Defense
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: DOD used the results of the February 2010 Mobility Capabilities Requirements Study - 2016 to determine future strategic airlift requirements and fleet composition. Officials decided to cap C-17 procurement and reduce the number of modernized C-5s. Also sought approval for retiring up to 22 C-5s.
Recommendation: To help improve DOD's management of strategic and tactical airlift assets, the Secretary of Defense should direct the Office of the Secretary of Defense (Cost Assessment and Program Evaluation) and Commander, U.S. Transportation Command to develop a specific airlift plan that would identify when C-5s will be retired and identify the total number of additional C-17s, if any, that would be needed to replace C-5s or perform tactical heavy lift missions until the time the JFTL is fielded.
Agency Affected: Department of Defense
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: DOD recently completed the Mobility Capabilities Requirement Study, which provides an assessment of airlift needs through 2016. The study was a joint effort between the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, Technology and Logistics and the U.S. Transportation Command. Study results are being used by senior defense leaders to make decisions on C-5 and C-130 modernization efforts, as well as C-17, C-130J and C-27J procurements.
Recommendation: To help improve DOD's management of strategic and tactical airlift assets, the Secretary of Defense should direct the portfolio management team, consisting of U.S. Transportation Command and the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, Technology and Logistics, to provide more comprehensive advice to senior leaders on the full range of airlift investment decisions, including new program starts, modernization efforts, and retirement decisions. This would also include identifying alternatives for using existing common user aircraft to meet service-specific missions and considering new roles and missions for the Air Force.
Agency Affected: Department of Defense
Status: Closed - Not Implemented
Comments: DOD partially concurred with the recommendation, stating that the Air Force and Army are currently engaged in approving the Initial Capabilities Document and will then be working on the Analysis of Alternatives to consider viable alternatives for addressing capability gaps. On follow-up in 2012, we determined that the JFTL and related concepts are still being considered, but no specific program start is envisioned for the foreseeable future. In the current budget environment, a new start of such a advanced technology is considered unlikely. Therefore, we are closing this recommendation as not implemented.
Recommendation: To help improve DOD's management of strategic and tactical airlift assets, the Secretary of Defense should direct the joint Air Force and Army program office to develop a plan to follow an evolutionary approach for developing the JFTL based on DOD acquisition policy that includes selecting mature technologies, normally developing increments in less than 5 years, and fully funding each increment.

Anonymous STD detecting app
Rochester, N.Y. A new smartphone app has launched that allows people to anonymously upload and submit a photo to a doctor for a diagnosis.
First Derm is an app that launched in Sweden in 2009 as an STD triage app and now it works with a list of dermatologists so that people can get a diagnosis of anything going on with their skin.
The app was shortly rebranded the app for more than STDs in order to increase circulation.
In order to get a diagnosis, people must upload two photos, one close up and one far away, and fill in an online form. All of the documentation is sent to a First Derm doctor for a diagnosis.
Getting a diagnosis costs $40 and can come back within a matter of hours.
The app does not ask for personal information or require people to register, or even to link to Facebook.
First Derm claims that over 70 percent of cases diagnosed by First Derm doctors can be treated over-the-counter.

+ Consider the effects of extension denial
Dear Editor:
I have been an owner, without a break since 1974, at the Colony, and now at another address and I have observed the Longboat Key Town Commission take up one fruitless issue after another. This has cost the town and its residents hundreds and hundreds of thousands of dollars in legal fees and judgments. The commission is about to do it again by denying the Colony owners an extension for rebuilding.
I can assure the commission that if no one else is prepared to do so, I personally will launch a lawsuit against the town and its commission.
Residents should get ready to waste more money defending a dumb move by the commission. It has done it before and is about to do it again.
Paul G. Morton
+ Another Colony extension means further inaction
Dear Editor:
I wholeheartedly agree with your thoughts that now is the time to "get it done" at The Colony. Inaction to date has caused this once vibrant resort to deteriorate into a broken down eyesore that any sensible person can see is wrought with health-and-safety issues for its nearby neighbors. However, this should not be viewed as just a localized mess, but, instead, all Longboat Key stakeholders need to consider the real possibility of spreading reputational damage and property value hits if nothing is done in short order.
If anyone believes a further extension to the Colony's tourist-use designation is a good idea, I urge them to listen to the audio from the commission meeting of March 5 (available on the Longboat Key town website). In summary, Colony Association representatives were there at the urging of the commissioners to provide a report as to what progress had been made in the 10 months proceeding the initial extension granted in May 2011. Suffice it to say, the meeting quickly turned into a marketing pitch from the property development partner selected by the Colony Association.
When pushed by the commissioners, it became very clear the legal entanglements were still firmly in place and thus the initial extension had created absolutely no incentive to move the parties toward resolution. What has changed in the past five months since the March "progress report?" Well, other than the aforementioned development partner exiting the project, it looks and feels like not much.
So, I suggest to you that the real monumental tragedy here is in the inaction and negative spillover effects it is having on the neighbors of this once important Longboat Key destination. I just don't see how allowing another extension changes anything other than enabling more time for further property deterioration and increased legal maneuvering.
Full disclosure — I am one of the Colony's nearby neighbors, and I can't help feeling I'm an innocent witness to a gunfight and I am now being hit with stray bullets.

+ Our compliments to Waste Management
Dear Editor:
Having spent several months abroad, we recently returned to our Longboat Key home to discover that Tropical Storm Debby had caused significant damage on our property. We had several fallen trees and a great deal of yard debris to clear, which we set about preparing for collection.
The significant amount and size of the debris meant that we could not rely on the weekly Wednesday collection service to help us. We called the town of Longboat Key Public Works Department where we were advised to contact Waste Management to arrange a special pick-up.
We would like to share with your readers the positive experience we had with Waste Management. Its customer service team quickly sent out a route manager to provide us with an estimate, and when we were ready, they promptly and professionally arranged collection.
With the uncertainty of Tropical Storm Isaac to contend with, Waste Management reacted quickly to our request to expedite the collection and ended up coming that same day.
Everyone we dealt with, whether from customer service, route management or collection, was professional, efficient and courteous. We would like to extend our compliments and thanks to the Waste Management team that provided such exceptional service.

+ Obama has created wealth
Dear Editor:
The writer (of the Anti-American President) seems to be typical of anti-Obama right-wingers. He refuses to acknowledge reality and actual achievements.
Regarding "No creation of wealth:"
A) Does the near doubling of the stock market during Obama tenure represent "no creation of wealth?"
B) The auto industry being saved from virtually being destroyed, creating/saving 1 million jobs, achieving the highest profit in many years — no creation of wealth?
C) Four-and-a-half million private-sector jobs were created in more than 30 consecutive months — no creation of wealth?
When did President Obama ever demean wealth and profits from private enterprise?
Can't the writer understand that the president is asking for fairness in this country? Witness — the wealthiest of Americans reap the highest level of income and pay the lowest taxes, ever.
Is that state of affairs OK with the writer?

Hi, I just found my old retail disc of windows Xp media edition 2005 I had two pcs running Xp ,each with different keys . i still have copies of the keys. I can't recall which key was used on the pc I sold years ago. The original key was stuck to the case . I would like to install xp on a old pc for a family friend ,but wouldn't want to use the key supplied with the sold pc. How can I find out which key is activated Thanks

"The original key was stuck to the case" that sounds like OEM to me. Are you sure they are Retail? AFAIK Microsoft opted not to supply Media Centre as an independent retail version. You can check what you have and if CD is OEM by looking at the (product identification) Pid = number in the i386\SETUPP.INI configuration file (open .INI files with notepad) after the number it will probably say OEM.
Post back when you have found out as all may not be lost and I'll say which files to look at in notepad from the CD to check.
To explore the contents of CD (press and keep shift key held down while you insert CD in tray and until CD drive activity stops - this prevents the CD from autorunning) then look at contents in Windows explorer.

Those aiming to brush up on their skills or break into a new hobby can sign up for one of several classes. Restricted to a maximum of 8 students, each session provides students with close attention from a highly skilled instructor who can provide tips on pretty much any sewing-related matter, such as the best thread for repairing a flying carpet.
Like fancy suits, sofa sets are sewn from the same cut of fabric. These matching sets provide a well-rounded look in living rooms, but near misses tend to clash due to their small differences.

Hi: 8° Lo:-1°
THE FUTURE of the Alexandra Hospital will be debated in Parliament.
Redditch MP Karen Lumley has secured the discussion in Westminster Hall on Tuesday (February 12).
The 30 minute debate will allow her to make the case directly to Health Minister Dr Dan Poulter for the retention of vital services such as A&E and maternity, as well as push him on under what circumstances he would be prepared to allow a transfer of the Woodrow Drive hospital to Trusts in Birmingham.
Mrs Lumley will also ask at what stage the Government would step in to deal with an over spending Trust.
She told the Standard following the publication of the report into the failings at Stafford Hospital the debate was even more important.
"We need to learn the lessons from Stafford and the report made it clear many people, including MPs, failed to hold that hospital to account, I don't want to be one of those MPs," she said.
"This is an opportunity to make it clear to the minister what the people of Redditch want out of this."
Talks are continuing between commissioners WAHT and University Hospitals Birmingham, Birmingham Children's Hospital and Birmingham Women's Hospital about future service provision at the Alex.
An announcement is expected at the end of February or early March.

Food Security Situation
Threats to food security include armed conflict, political instability, population displacement, poverty, banditry and difficult access to food and safe water. With resulting reduced agricultural production, almost 38 percent of the population is food insecure.
The UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) estimates that more than 490,568 Central Africans are internally displaced. Additionally, approximately 417,294 refugees have fled to neighboring countries, according to UNHCR.
Due to increased food insecurity and internal displacement, WFP is scaling up its food assistance. It has provided food assistance to more than one million food insecure Central Africans thus far in 2014.
Food Assistance Programs
The Office of Food for Peace (FFP) is supporting the UN World Food Program (WFP) to reach food-insecure people affected by conflict and displacement, including refugees, IDPs, returnees and host communities, as well as returnees to Chad.
FFP partners with WFP and UNICEF to improve food consumption, reduce undernutrition among children aged 6-59 months and pregnant and lactating women, and increase access to basic services for more than 1.25 million internally displaced persons and moderately to severely food insecure people.
FFP's latest contributions include one of the office's first Title II awards of $3 million in 202e funds for local and regional purchase of commodities, as well as a September 12, 2014 contribution of $1 million of locally and regionally purchased food for general food distributions and supplementary feeding of 20,000 CAR refugees in the Republic of Congo.
Food for Peace Contributions
Total Contributions:
U.S. Dollars | Metric Tons | |
Fiscal Year 2014 | $42 million | 25,836 MT |
Fiscal Year 2013 | $8.8 million | 4,220 MT |
Fiscal Year 2012 | $10.0 million | 4,990 MT |
Fiscal Year 2011 | $6.8 million | 3,980 MT |
Fiscal Year 2010 | $6.0 million | 3,830 MT |
Fiscal Year 2014 Contribution Breakdown To Date:
U.S. Dollars | Metric Tons | |
Title II Development | ---- | ---- |
Title II Emergency | $20 million | 10,785 MT* |
Emergency Food Security Situation (EFSP) | $22 million** | 15,051 MT |
*Includes 2,530 MT of locally and regionally purchased commodities using Title II 202e funds.
**Includes $1 million in vouchers for returnees in southeastern Chad, $5 million in locally and regionally purchased commodities for Central African refugees in Cameroon, and $1 million in locally and regionally purchased commodities for CAR refugees in Republic of Congo.
Note: Food Security Situation information provided by the UN as of August 2014.

Gear Review
great for the price
nice park bindings. They have plenty of flex, more adjustability than most bindings, the best ankle padding I've ever had, good toe strap system, metal ratchets and sick looks at a relatively low price. Unfortunately, the plastic ladders feel a bit thin/brittle, the disk covers are screw down instead of snap on and you have to completely unhook the toe strap to get your foot out (on Salomon bindings, you loosen but they stay hooked and just fall out of the way). Rome acknowledged my warranty card by sending me a big die-cut logo sticker...sweet.

I found a near perfect condition 4", custom factory wood stocks, 629 the other day for $599 at Gander Mountain. It is a bit high, but I haven't seen a pre-lock 629 for sale in a LONG time. I went back today and put a 48 hour hold on it so that I can ask questions.
Are there any concerns with this model? Some of the older 29's had some issues, I don't remember what they were or if they followed over to the 629's.
What do you guys think of the price? I know that you'd have to see it to say for sure, but it locks up good and tight, the timing is almost as good as my recently repaired (timing issues) 686+ and there is almost no wear indications or discolorations on the frame. And did I mention that is a PRE-LOCK?!?!?
What do 'ya think? Go or no-go?

Missing Craig resident Deana Miller found alive
Updated June 19, 2013 at 3:45 p.m.
Craig Craig resident Deana Miller, 24, who friends and family say was missing since late last week, was found Wednesday morning near Browns Park.
Miller, who is a mother of three, is being treated at The Memorial Hospital in Craig.
The Moffat County Sheriff's Office began its search for Miller after her mother, Reta Turner, of Idaho, called the Sheriff's Office on Monday to file a missing person report, Undersheriff Charlene Abdella said.
Before she was found Wednesday, Miller last was seen at Browns Park with a group of friends during the weekend, Abdella said.
Noelle Leavitt Riley can be reached at 970-875-1790 or firstname.lastname@example.com

Why didn't these so called friends call it in if she was w them for the weekend??? An why haven't they all been questioned or suspected of something?? If it was a wife or husband vise versa they would be the first suspects???
Allen Hischke 1 year, 7 months ago
Another perfect example of what happens when drugs are turned into playthings.
MarieDuzik 1 year, 7 months ago
Thanks to all involved in finding her for the kids sake.
I am sorry for the quote in the paper, in that, I repeated what I was told by the sheriff's department. Just the part about how she was found. She will be okay physically and now it's time to talk about getting her into treatment.
This community was very actively talking about this incident. I believe it would be positive to start talking about the drug/alcohol and mental health problems we have in this community and how we can address that.
