Every firm that wishes to participate in the WOSB program must meet the eligibility requirements and either self-certify or obtain third party certification. At this time, SBA has not approved any third party certifiers. Regardless of their certification method, WOSBs must also upload required documents proving their eligibility to a secure online data repository developed and maintained by SBA. Your Small Business Resource Contracting Program for Women-owned business cont. To qualify as a WOSB, a firm must be at least fifty-one percent owned and controlled by one or more women, and primarily managed by one or more women. The women must be U.S. citizens and the firm must be considered small according to SBA size standards. To be deemed ―economically disadvantaged‖, a firm's owners must meet specific financial requirements set forth in the program regulations. The WOSB Program identifies eighty-three four-digit North American Industry Classification Systems (NAICS) codes where WOSBs are underrepresented or substantially underrepresented. Contracting officers may set aside contracts in these industries if the contract can be awarded at a fair and reasonable price, the contracting officer has a reasonable expectation that two or more WOSBs or ED- WOSBs will submit offers for the contract and the anticipated contract price is not greater than $5 million for manufacturing contracts and $3 million for other contracts. Each stage of implementation is part of SBA's mission to make the Program efficient and user-friendly, and to ensure its benefits go only to qualifying WOSBs. SBA is excited to launch this new program to provide WOSBs with increased opportunities to compete for and win federal contracts, ultimately helping WOSBs create and retain more jobs.

They drink a few small glasses of Tequila Rose. Wilsey catches a toad, and they head off for the abandoned Billie Swamp and Safari. After leaving the toad in the care of a hungry water moccasin, Wilsey takes Susie's hand and begins strolling into the eastern end of the park. Susie chatters about their lifelong love affair as they wander along muddy dirt roads and up an artificial mound to a spot where the Seminoles have erected a new monument: a proud warrior surrounded by the seven animals of the various clans. All around them the heavily carved wetland shimmers in the starlight.
They sit under the full moon and wonder at what a terrific life they found in the swamp.

MOSCOW — Russia is accusing "American Secret Service agents" of "kidnapping" an Russian man accused of hacking into computer systems in the United States in order to steal credit card data.
Roman Seleznev was arrested over the weekend in Guam, according to federal prosecutors, and will be tried in Seattle. In announcing his arrest, the U.S. Secret Service called Seleznev "one of the world's most prolific traffickers of stolen financial information," alleging he is responsible for compromising thousands of credit cards through cyber attacks between 2009 and 2011.
But Russian authorities claim that Seleznev was taken to Guam against his will. They say he was returning to Moscow from a vacation the Maldives when he was "forcibly put on a plane of a private airline company by the American Secret Services and taken to Guam," according to a Russian Foreign Ministry statement.
"We view this as another unfriendly act by Washington," the Russian statement continued, likening the case to other "kidnappings" involving Russian citizens who were detained in third countries and then extradited to the United States.
The ministry also reiterated its warning to Russian citizens who may be wanted by the United States to be careful when traveling abroad because they risk extradition. The ministry says Seleznev's arrest violates a 1999 agreement on mutual assistance in criminal cases.
"Seleznev was arrested by another country at the request of the U.S. and was taken into U.S. custody following his expulsion from that country, which acted under its own laws," a spokesman for the U.S. Department of Justice told ABC News today in a statement. "He was advised of his rights and given consular notification. These actions also were in no way inconsistent with any treaty arrangements with Russia."
The U.S. Secret Service did not respond to a request by ABC News for comment.

Russian Broadcaster Warns of Turning US Into 'Radioactive Dust'
According to Russian media, the suspect's father is Valery Seleznyov, a member of the State Duma, Russia's lower house of Parliament. He told RT, the Kremlin's foreign-language propaganda network, that he feared the United States was holding his son as trade bait to swap for Edward Snowden, the American intelligence leaker who received asylum in Russia last year.
"For all I know they may be demanding a ransom tomorrow. Or try to exchange him for Snowden or somebody. One can only wonder," the father said.
Seleznev was indicted in 2011 for allegedly hacking into point-of-sale systems, mainly at small restaurants and entertainment venues across the country, to steal credit card information and sell it online.
His alleged targets included Broadway Grill, a Seattle restaurant forced to close after tens of thousands of customer credit cards were exposed. Seleznev is believed responsible for infecting computer systems with malware, siphoning credit card data and then selling that data on the black market under the name "Track2." The alleged scheme generated millions of dollars in illicit profits and was the precursor to similar, larger sized attacks in subsequent years like Target and Neiman Marcus, according to authorities.
The Secret Service would not say whether Seleznev was a suspect in those. In addition to the Seattle restaurant, Seleznev allegedly hit "hundreds" of small businesses, including a Schlotzky's Deli in Idaho, a jewelry store in Maine, the Phoenix Zoo, a pizza place in Sonoma and convenience stores in Evanston and Chicago.
He has been charged in Washington state with five counts of bank fraud, eight counts of intentionally causing damage to a protected computer, eight counts of obtaining information form a protected computer, one count of possession of 15 or more unauthorized access devices, two counts of trafficking unauthorized access devices, and five counts of aggravated identity theft.
He has also been separately indicted in Nevada for racketeering as well as two more counts of possessing possession of 15 or more unauthorized access devices. If convicted there he could face up to 20 years in prison for the first charge and up to 10 years for each of the latter charges.

Video: Woman stabs cop with scissors during traffic stop
An Oklahoma officer was stabbed by a woman with a pair of scissors as he conducted a traffic stop Tuesday night
By PoliceOne Staff
FORT GIBSON, Okla. — An Oklahoma officer was stabbed by a woman with a pair of scissors as he conducted a traffic stop Tuesday night.
According to NewsOn6, Officer Brent Maddocks of the Fort Gibson Police Department had stopped an SUV for an expired tag when a female suspect approached him from behind and began slashing him.
The woman, identified as 26-year-old Jessica Lugo, was on a smoke break at a nearby factory when she approached the officer. Maddocks drew his firearm but made the decision not to fire his weapon near the family of four sitting in the SUV. Instead, he deployed a TASER, according to the report.
"It's an experience, and we take it, and we learn from it and we adapt and overcome," said Maddocks.
Maddocks was wearing a protective vest and did not suffer any injuries, according to the Muskogree Phoenix.
Lugo was arrested and booked into the Muskogee County/City Detention Facility on a complaint of assault and battery with a deadly weapon on a police officer.
Police said there was no correlation between the traffic stop and the stabbing.

Artist, MakerMy practice explores the crossover between the Fine Art and Fine Craft disciplines of sculpture and textiles. Working across these boundaries I make mixed media constructions, assemblages and small installations comprising multiple units. Rather than direct representation, I aim to utilise the provenance and intrinsic qualities of materials, to evoke associations and carry the essence of ideas.

Marni is as chic as it gets. Launched in 1994 by designer Consuelo Castiglioni, this Milan-based label started out as a collection of outré, fur-trimmed outerwear and quickly expanded into a full fashion line featuring perfectly tailored clothing, chunky-heeled shoes, retro eyewear, acrylic resin costume jewelry, and luxe handbags. Marni loves to experiment with asymmetrical shapes and prints of all kinds — from stencils and feminine floral patterns to bold geometric designs — but also excels at understated basics such as crepe pencil skirts and little black dresses. In 2002 Marni added a menswear line, which mimics the minimalist approach that has endeared Castiglioni's clothes to female fashion cognoscenti for years. In 2012 the label created a popular collection for H&M that — to no one's surprise — sold out within hours of appearing on the racks.
No matter the occasion, the key to looking fabulous is choosing pieces that accentuate your best assets and hide your less-than-favorite features. Have a little middle? Shop the waist-cinching sheaths and wrap dresses. Craving an instant hourglass? Try a peplum-trimmed blouse or bustier mini. You'll also find streamlined maxi skirts, leg-lengthening trousers (with slick tuxedo stripes), and more chic styles designed to flatter.
Cover up this season with the chic, streetwise style.
When it comes to wardrobe staples for children, cozy sweaters are at the top of the list in the snowy season. And fashionable kids are in luck with this selection of knits, as it offers sweaters, dresses, hats, scarves, and pants that combine equal parts warmth and of-the-moment design.
The fashion world loves a good historical reference. Case in point? The Fall '14 runways, where designers from Louis Vuitton to Tory Burch formed a veritable mod squad, sending out parades of abbreviated hemlines, graphic color-blocking, and seriously psychedelic prints. Find out how to swing the retro-inspired look this season with our right-now tweaks, then shop the sale below to channel the daring decade without being mistaken for Twiggy.

Awards news!
In addition to the fantastic news that Kathleen Jennings is on the World Fantasy Awards ballot for Best Artist (see our special offer for To Spin a Darker Stair here – just $5!), over the weekend the Washington Science Fiction Association's Small Press Award shortlist was announced, and we're VERY excited to see Jason Nahrung's Epilogue story "The Mornington Ride" on it! This story won the Victorian Chronos Award for Best Short Story earlier in the year, and we're just delighted to see it recognised on an international ballot.
The WSFA Small Press Award is perhaps my favourite award, because not only does it recognise the very best of small press around the world, but the process by which the shortlist and winner are decided is very special. Stories are read "blind" by a panel (meaning the author and publication details are unknown) who select the shortlist. The shortlist is then read by the members of WSFA (again, completely blind), and the winner voted on. Which means the stories are judged completely on merit – marvellous!
Huge congratulations to Jason for making such a prestigious shortlist and fingers crossed for the announcement of the winner!
Want to read the story? Print stock of Epilogue is almost sold out (get your copy here while you can!), but the ebook is available from Kindle, Kobo, Wizard's Tower and Weightless Books!
We would like to congratulate all our authors whose works will appear in the 2012 Year's Best Australian Fantasy and Horror (from Ticonderoga Publications, July 2013). In particular, three stories first published by FableCroft will be reprinted! Well done to Thoraiya Dyer ("Sleeping Beauty" from Epilogue), Faith Mudge ("Oracle's Tower" from To Spin a Darker Stair) and Tansy Rayner Roberts ("What Books Survive" from Epilogue). Lovely news! Speaking of news, we've started a new page on this website called "FableCroft Books in Review", where we link to online reviews of our books – check it out to see what reviewers have been saying about us!
Today is a big day for Epilogue, it seems! It is now, at long last, available on the Kindle store, which is very exciting. And to follow that up, a review by Cat Sparks of the anthology just went live at Cosmos, which is very nice! Among other things, Cat says: If, like me, you find something compelling in post-disaster scenarios, try Epilogue for an Australian-flavoured take on the end of the world. Stay tuned for more exciting FableCroft news over the next few days!
It is with great pleasure that I announce the table of contents for Epilogue (the anthology formerly known as Apocalypse Hope). I had more than 200 submissions for this anthology, many of a very high quality, and it was difficult task to sift through them to pick out the finest gems. I present the final lineup, and look forward to bringing these stories to you in print. "Time and tide" by Lyn Battersby "Fireflies" by Steve Cameron "Sleeping Beauty" by Thoraiya Dyer "The Fletcher test" by Dirk Flinthart "Ghosts" by Stephanie Gunn "Sleepers" by Kaia Landelius "Solitary" by Dave Luckett "Cold comfort" by David McDonald "Mornington ride" by Jason Nahrung "The last good town" by Elizabeth Tan "A memory trapped in light" by Joanne Anderton "Only the books survive" by Tansy Rayner Roberts Thank you to every author who sent in submissions, which came from all around the world – some rejections were very difficult to make, and I wish those authors the very best in finding their stories a home. For those interested, the final contents include 12 stories, eleven by Australians and one from Sweden. There are seven female authors, and five male. The stories are all original to the anthology. I'm delighted with the line up for Epilogue, and can't wait to show it to you all! Year's Best Australian Fantasy and Horror reprints
It's Epilogue day!

Sturdy. Good Value. Peter from Oakland, CA– Verified Buyer I like this cart because the shelves are not flat. The handle is molded (not bolted) to the top shelf. Two casters have brakes. Easy to assemble. A bit tall, so I cute the 4 top tier tubes by 2" each to make it lower. |
Great quality and construction. Sandra from Perry, GA– Verified Buyer This is a very durable and tough cart for home use. I love the design and the size. Will save me lots of steps~ |
perfect for office needs emily cockerham from Durham, NC– Verified Buyer Our records room is down the hall from where we do most of our filing. The flat top plus tub-style bottom shelves is perfect for our needs. Set-up was easy but wait about messing with this if you[or others] have headache/ need to keep the peace. It took many forceful and loud blows to get the thing together but overall the assembly was completely self-explanatory. Fast shipping, great price. Thanks. |
Very useful but not as strong as they claim Frank from Denver, CO– Verified Buyer Good for tight places, handle is a little weak. Co-worker broke theirs |
Sturdy little cart Valerie from Washington– Verified Buyer It's a great little cart. It's very sturdy but it was a little hard to bang together. I really like it even though it was hard to put together. |
Great in our Garage D from NV– Verified Buyer– Top 500 Reviewer This works great in our garage.. It old all of our parts to our RC cards |
good detailing cart Daniel from White Lake, MI– Verified Buyer I'm using this as one of my automotive detailing carts. It's a nice cart for the price. |
good Lisa from Ferndale, WA– Verified Buyer So this cart is a great cart for our uses. I would say that it is not going to carry the weight of a heavy duty cart, but in reality you are going to pay hundreds for a heavy duty cart! |
36.5" Utility Cart is also sometimes listed under the following manufacturer numbers: STC211-B, STC211-G

Neighbors fear what follows Blockbuster
Auto-parts store conflicts with hopes for East Tosa
East Tosa residents assumed it was a matter of time before Blockbuster closed up shop in their neighborhood.
But the speed of the movie-rental store's departure at 6102 W. North Ave. last month, and the reports that an auto-parts store might fill the space, have neighbors concerned.
Blockbuster has fallen on hard times, shuttering most of its stores in the Milwaukee area and across the country. Still, an employee assured Alderman Bobby Pantuso last spring that the local store would likely remain open for some time. Then in mid-December, business-closing signs went up and the building was quickly emptied.
"I was a little thrown off because it always seemed busy to me," Pantuso said. "We always thought there was going to be more time."
The site has been identified as a key redevelopment hotspot in the East Tosa master plan that was adopted by the city last summer. Pantuso said that while the plan sounded a bit "pie in the sky" - it calls for a neighborhood commons feel with two-story mixed residential/office and commercial use as well and even a splash pad for urban recreation/open space - it makes full use of the site.
"That's such a beautiful spot and there's not a lot of mixed use on North Avenue," he said.
The 32,400-square-foot property, which takes up nearly an entire commercial block, is mostly asphalt parking lot surrounding a 6,800 square-foot building.
Blockbuster's closing left members of the East Tosa Alliance, a group of residents, business and property owners, scrambling to find out if they could influence what was next for site.
"It's an anchor in that area," said Meg Miller, alliance board chairwoman. "We want to work with anyone that comes in. We want this to be collaborative."
Initial talks with a broker from Mid-America Real Estate Group led Miller to believe a new tenant had been lined up for the building. After some digging, she learned the real-estate firm had secured a long-term lease from O'Reilly Auto Parts.
The broker couldn't be immediately reached for comment but he did send Miller an e-mail Tuesday, saying he's willing to talk.
Neighbors haven't welcomed news of a national auto parts retailer.
"Bringing this type of business into this space does not add to the neighborhood feel the North Avenue East Tosa Plan is attempting to accomplish," said Angela Quigley, a resident who joined the alliance. "My husband and I moved to East Tosa a few years ago from Downtown Milwaukee because of all the locally owned, unique businesses that were within walking distance of our house. There is a lot of momentum going on in this neighborhood of bringing in new, fresh businesses and I just don't feel that O'Reilly Auto Parts will add to this momentum."
Alliance members cite an auto parts dealer at 58th Street and North Avenue, albeit in Milwaukee, that serves the area. A market study included in the master plan cites a need for locally provided auto-related retail. However, that shouldn't be misconstrued as a need for additional stores, but rather a desire to protect the existing businesses like Voline and O'Gorman's that the alliance doesn't want to see pushed out, Miller said.
National auto parts franchises tend to locate in strip malls on busy main streets, not next to a happening restaurant and gathering place like Juniper 61, she said. Imagine sitting on the patio enjoying a meal overlooking a person changing their oil in the neighboring parking lot, she said.
The residents don't want to see an empty building and understand that a property owner needs to collect rent, Miller said. A look at the companies that Mid-America represents shows some more fitting options - such as a Chipotle, which would be consistent with a survey that showed neighbors want a Mexican restaurant in the district.
East Tosa resident Maureen Badding sent a letter to the broker pointing out a desire by residents for garden center, Mexican restaurant, Hallmark-type store, specialty food store or retail boutiques of any type.
"With a relatively new building and ample parking, your property is a goldmine," she said.

Featured review from S Z
view more less of this reviewI think this show is a must see "if you are truly a Lucille Ball fan". I loved it! I truly do Love Lucy. The show gives you insite as to what she was really like in the last years of her life. If you are not a Lucille Ball fan I think you will find it a little sleepy, as the man next to me slept the entire show. I though was glued to every word. I think the actors did a great job. The sound needed to be louder as the lady that played Lucy, her voice was soft at times and hard to hear. I met Lee in the lobby after the show, he didn't sell books or autographs the night I was there. I am so glad I went. It has brought back great memories of Lucy as I did get to meet her before she past away. I will always miss her, she was a wonderful Lady!!!!!!!!!

By Lee Tannen
Based on the Best-Selling Memoir
Directed by: Todd Weeks
Few people knew America's comic sweetheart, Lucille Ball, the way Lee did. Though distantly related, and 40 years apart in age, Lucy and Lee became the nearest and dearest of friends during the last decade of her life. Get a front and center look at Lucy, the personal side of her very public persona from someone who spent the last of her years beside her while out of the spotlight and around a backgammon table. See what it was like to be her friend, and understand how she was so like and unlike her TV alter ego. Re-live life with Lucy – the stories and shenanigans Lee shared with her – and discover a Lucy like you've never known her before. It's a funny, irreverent, and bitter-sweet portrait that will only add to the love of a great legend.

Ever the phoenix in a chameleon's skin, impresario Cherry Vanilla discusses Lick Me: How I Became Cherry Vanilla (Chicago Review Press, $24.95), her madcap life of multiple acts some of which may still be in their infancy. Born Kathleen Dorritie in Queens in 1943, Ms. Vanilla was a '60s party girl, '70s groupie and businesswoman who helped break David Bowie in the U.S. She also toured Britain with The Police as her backing band Sting's crap sunglasses and all. It's a story of sex/drugs/rock/roll (circle one or more), but more importantly her story is that of a free woman whose tenacity and openness placed her at some of the most pivotal moments in 20th-century pop culture and adventure is really one of the sexiest things there is.

The FRP was actually given to me from as left-over from a job. It is pebbled on one side. I used the smooth side (back) as the inside of the hood thinking that condensation would be more apt to travel down to the drip channel.
FRP is also know as Marlite as a brand name of Masonite.
Keg 1- Stone Espresso Russian Imperial Stout Clone Keg 2- Stone Ruination IPA Clone Keg 3- Hard Apple Cider Keg 4- APA Fermenting Away - Old Chub Clone - Another Ruiniation - Another Stone RIS Clone - Belgian Strong
Great build! I might have to try this!
Went with a pretty similar design. Tried to keep things as ultralight as possible (semi-permanant setup on the cheap), so I went without the wooden 1/2 circle end pieces. Seam is epoxied between FRP parts. 6' L, 2.5' W, 1' H due to super low ceilings. Finally brewed with this setup for the first time today...still some bugs to iron out (J-trays and exhaust drains are needed...leaks...LEAKS EVERYWHEEREEE). Working on a 'clean' design solution.
What is, or what do you think is, the smallest diameter FRP would bend to before breaking or unreasonably stressing, cracking, or otherwise going to pot? Thx, Mike
So I built a similar version, but wanted to vent out the back and not the side. So I just made a triangle instead of a semi-circle. I had to cut the FRP and tape the seams (didn't do a great job, but it works). It's an option for those who want a slightly different but equally cheap design.

Not the Rock QuarrySubmitted by Tim (not verified) on Wed, 02/29/2012 - 1:55pm.
I used to live on Columbia Road (15 years) and am familiar with the rock quarry blasts. I now live in Wilmington, NC. What I felt yesterday, and have felt and heard in the past in Wilmington, are not the same as the rock quarry blasts. What we experienced here yesterday happened just after 10:00 am. What was felt in Columbia County was at 10:30. The speed of sound in air is about 12 miles per minute. Evans is about 300 miles from Wilmington. The numbers work out this may have been a huge sonic boom. It was probably too large to be military craft. I am working on a theory that huge atmospheric pressure differentials are being created just off the coast, basically when high pressure and low pressure meet suddenly and the pressure differential has to resolve itself immediately. »
