My nephew has been telling me about the most recent gun shows in MS. It sounds like an out-and-out screwjob, and not in a good way. He saw some people tacticooling a Mossberg shotgun and adding GREATLY to its price. He has seen some crazy ammo prices. Mostly he has seen some suckers who got caught unprepared for odumbass's onslaught.
I will go to the one Saturday, but just to look and laugh. Being a loudmouthed redneck, i'm not shy about giving somebody a hard time over a BS price: "Where is the scope for this authentic sniper MosinNagant rifle?" "Does anybody know if this 14k gold-plating is safe for XD pistols?" "Holy **** people! Did Adolph sign this here Luger?"
edit* Nephew also mentioned a conversation with a guy at the last show who was getting ready to "unload" 100,000 rounds of .22LR; guy indicated he had been waiting for the best time and figured stores would be restocked soon.
Dead Bears, the only good kind.
I was at Academy Sports here in Metairie Thursday. The person I always deal with told me he had 3 black guns and one M1A under the counter but Academy has a store policy that does not allow any Academy to display black guns. "How stupid" people should learn about them not fear them as though they are machine guns which the media painted so vividly lately calling them "automatic" weapons - anyway the point is he had a Smith, Core 15, Springfield and another brand but says no one in the last 6 weeks has even called asking for them.
He thinks this may be the beginning of things starting to calm down. I started buying .22lr ammo about August of last year not imagining that 22 ammo would sky rocket. I just had a feeling that if I wanted to carry 5000 rounds of ammo in a bug out pack that 22's are much easier to carry than 308 or 223.
I hope that guy gets stuck with 100K rounds of 22's and has to sell a box of 50 for .50 cents
Well, one thing is for sure. Just remember who the jerks were that tried to profiteer during all this when they could have been helping quell the panic.
A black market will always bring out the worst in people. But the dumb asses in DC forgot about the days of prohibition. If anything they backfire on themselves by creating panic. Two things people are not going to do without other than shelter that's food and protection. The basic levels of human survival.
I went to the Ontario gun show in SoCal, just to pick up some ammo and a few other odds and ends, I knew the prices were very crazy. but I did not know that ammo dealers were stupid. I asked for .41 mag ammo and the guy said there was no such thing that I did not know what I was talking about. I told him he had his head up his a$$. and told everyone that I saw by his table that he did not now what he was doing or selling.
I'm going to get my fingerprint cards today at the sheriffs office for my FFL. But I have an idea that I would like to see local "garage sale" type gun sales. Would any of you go to a local auction set up in a decent place with police presence, I would advertise in the local paper - like a gun show but not all the expense to get in. If you have something to sell bring it, register as a buyer or seller. No cover charge, but if you sell there is a 5% sellers premium for brokering the sale. Not unlike any other auction. Maybe on a Saturday from 8 to Noon.
But no one does anything like that here.
I'm trying to bring buyers and sellers together and let the market set the price and take a small commission for the act of brokering the deal. I'm more interested in volumes of transactions than higher markups.
This is just an idea, but I'm tired of the gun/pawn shops being the only avenue. There has to be a better mouse trap on a local level.
True enough. I'm applying for my FFL this week just in case I would need one. Needing an FFL would be almost mandatory for this type of venture we decided when the idea came up.
I figured my biz partner and a couple of friends in the sheriffs posse here would add the needed administrative task sharing.
And actually, my sister mentioned Facebook for this type of connectivity. I'm not big fan of sharing information that can and will be used against me by the Federal government which is how I see that tremendous collection of personal data on Facebook being used one day against US citizens.
Of course, this is just a very raw idea that the actual "procedures" have not been worked out.
But the question remains - would you go if you knew there was a trusted place you could go to buy or sell and meet other like minded people? My basic thought was to bring people together who attend gun shows but don't like the costs associated with the promoters having to recover their advertising costs and venue rental.
I don't think the local Sonic would let me have a gun show in their parking lot like they do car shows or rally's. Rats! (Well, maybe....I'd like a turkey season burger, Route 44 magnum Dr. Pepperspray and a box of 9's to go"...Naah! it'd never work...) Anyway.
I guess you could call it a guns and ammo flea market of sorts but better organized in an auction type environment in a smaller more personal type of venue.
Guns are sold at estate sales and at auctions now. I frequent them all of the time. A gun dealer is usually on hand to process the transactions for a fee. The prices for popular models are no cheaper than shows because many uniformed folks are there for something else, see the guns, and without doing any research or basic homework start bidding up the prices. I constantly see the guns selling for more than new ones currently on shelves.
Can't wait until the madness dies down and we can return to "normal"

Bold Predictions for the Apple iCarwritten by: Gray McCord
Over the past few weeks, there have been all sorts of interesting rumors concerning a possible foray into the automobile business by our favorite purveyor of consumer lust, Apple. Being an ex-Ford engineer, I have a basic understanding of what it takes to design, build, sell and service a car line, so my first reaction was total disbelief. Auto manufacturing is hugely capital-intensive, highly regulated, and has low margins compared to Apple's current business. Why the heck would Apple want to get involved in something like this?

Draft: Coaches Will Have to Earn Their Money
May 6, 2006, 12:38 AM EDT
You can reach Rich Tandler by email at email@example.com
According to the scouting reports, Rocky McIntosh needs to play under control and not overpursue. Anthony Montgomery needs to work on his hand technique in order to shed blocks better. There are also issues with Reed Doughty's backpedaling, Kedric Golston's lateral movement, Kili Lefotu's footwork and Kevin Simon's tackling technique.
In evaluating these players, the Redskins undoubtedly saw those flaws and many more. And Joe Gibbs turned to the most expensive coaching staff in the history of mankind and told them that they would be the ones who will make or break this draft. Dale Lindsey, Greg Blache, Jerry Gray, and Joe Bugel will have to coach 'em up, correct the flaws and turn them in to NFL players.
Bubba Tyer's training and medical staff also may be taxed. McIntosh, Golston, and Simon all carry histories of significant injuries into the NFL and their success will be determined in large part by how well Tyer and company can help them overcome their past ailments.
Don't think for a moment, though, that this draft class is a nothing more than a group of the undisciplined and the infirm. What they got in exchange for some rough edges and mended joints is athletic ability. Doughty is an excellent natural athlete. Golston, when healthy, amazed many observers with the agility he displayed for a man his size. Scouts were amazed at how light the 311-pound Montgomery is on his feet. McIntosh has excellent speed for someone his size.
They also got smarts—not just football smarts but book smarts. In particular there's McIntosh, who has already graduated with a 3.0 GPA in Criminology. He won't be waving his transcript in Doughty's face, however. Doughty also has his degree, graduating with a perfect 4.0 average in kinesiology. (Yeah, I don't know what that is, either, but I'm thinking that it's harder than ballroom dancing.)
Add in a solid dose of versatility, too. Lefotu can play all three O-line positions, a hat trick that McIntosh can match with his experience in all three LB spots. Simon could play inside or outside and several teams talked to Montgomery about drafting him as an offensive lineman. That wouldn't be the former Golden Gopher's first foray on offense; in high school, he was a 295-pound quarterback.
The move that is drawing the most fire from the self-declared draft gurus out there is the spending of the 2007 second-round pick to move up 18 spots to draft McIntosh (there was a 2006 sixth involved also). As was discussed here before the draft, the Redskins way of doing things is to be aggressive and go after the players that they want rather than letting things come to them. True, it is not a move that such successful franchises as the Steelers would make. To them, a second-round pick is way too precious to part with a year early and their results validate their methods. However, it is also not a move that franchises such as the Detroit Lions or Arizona Cardinals would have made and their records of futility are testimony to the fact that sitting on your hands and taking whoever falls into your lap isn't a guaranteed ticket to success either.
It's not what you do, it's how well you do it. Time will tell, just as it will with the rest of the draft. If you came here looking for a draft grade, you came to the wrong place. Check back in a couple of years. Golston and Simon are the keys. If they can shed their injury-ridden pasts and play to their potentials, they could be something that the Redskins have not had many of in recent years—late-round steals. That would, at least by this team's standards, make the draft a smashing success.

1. I first tried to log out and then log back into the app but I got this error message: "We have a problem. Your account status could not be loaded. Please try again."
2. I updated my version successively to 0.4.2.36, 0.4.2.44, 0.4.2.54, and when I got to 0.4.2.66, I couldn't use the app anymore because it required that my phone be signed into a Google Account (I use an android phone but I do not have it connected to a Google Account)
3. Then I did the same thing on another android phone that I have connected to a Google Account and when I updated to 0.4.2.66, and I signed in with the google account connected to my phone, it worked. After that, I downgraded back to 0.4.2.32 and the app would no longer connect to the network. It would not connect to the network even when I tried to sign in with the Google Account attached to the phone on versions older than 0.4.2.66. I kept getting this error: "We have a problem. Your account status could not be loaded. Please try again."
I posted this on the Google Voice Forum and someone else also confirmed the same problem and another person seemed to have the same issue in a different post. I would provide links but I am prevented because I have not met the minimum post requirement on the forum.
This essentially prevents any android phone that's not connected to a Google account from using the Google Voice app. Before January 3, 2014, anyone could use GV on their phone if they stayed with and older version (which was a much smaller app than the most recent version). Now only users using a more recent version (0.4.2.66+) of Google Voice with a Google account attached to their phone can use the app.
I did not find any announcements by Google of this change in their service. Does anyone else have this problem and/or know why this change has been made.

Moins d'un pâté de maisons du centre commercial de centre-ville historique, The Inn at 400 West High est conçu pour plaire à une clientèle qui apprécie les repas gastronomiques, vins fins, la haute culture, et un peu de shopping. Downtown Mall Charlottesville est une rue piétonne en plein air qui fonctionne comme le cœur culturel de la ville. Avec des restaurants servant tout, de beaux dîners français et fêtes asiatiques épicés à la nourriture de confort Sud et gelato italien, vous ne m'en voudrez pas de prendre une pause de l'éventail de boutiques offrant des vêtements faits à la main, les antiquités, et des articles d'ameublement faits à la main. Dans la soirée, arrêter et voir une pièce de théâtre au Théâtre Arts Vivants, assistez à un spectacle magnifique au Paramount Theatre historique, ou attraper un grand nom-concert au Jefferson Theater, récemment rénové, tous les trois sont à distance de marche de l'auberge 400 West High.

Every year, I treat my husband to a birthday getaway, which happens to fall near Valentine's Day. This year, we visited Charlottesville, VA, and stayed in The Inn at 400 West High, a beautiful B&B located mere steps from the Historic Downtown Mall and a short drive from Monticello. Carolyn, the owner, does everything in her power to make sure that her guests have an exceptional experience. We stayed in the Altamont Room, which features a working fireplace, a king size bed, and brick floors. The room was cozy, comfortable and very peaceful. We even woke up to birds singing -- birds! -- which was a pleasant change from the sirens and traffic we usually awaken to in DC. Other features are an a-m-a-z-i-n-g shower as well as the most delicious breakfasts we've encountered anywhere, courtesy of Anne, a talented gourmet cook. She also made the BEST strawberry cupcakes for Valentine's Day. We had a wonderful time and recommend it highly.

Calling from Maine, my first telephone conversation with the owner of 400 West High, promised I could expect an unforgettable stay at this extraordinarily unique bed and breakfast in the heart of charming Charlottesville. I was warmly greeted by a family members and shown to my cozy room. A lovely fireplace was glowing near the large, inviting bed. French doors led out to an intimate veranda overlooking the city. Touches of Tuscany were everywhere. Good friends joined me for a gourmet breakfast in the B&B "gathering room" before my departure. Thanks so much, Carolyn, for the memory of a perfect stay.

My husband and I stayed at The Inn at 400 West High for the weekend of our wedding, and it was absolutely perfect. The people who worked there were so warm and welcoming, the food was delicious, and the room was beautiful. Our photographer got some wonderful pictures in the courtyard before the ceremony, and Carolyn was kind enough to snap some pictures of us together before our rehearsal. I can honestly say there isn't a single thing I would change. We had a fantastic time and are planning to come back in a few years for an anniversary getaway.

We really enjoyed our stay here. Based on previous recommendations, I picked 400 W. High as a place to propose to my fiance (she said yes!), and I wasn't disappointed.This is a beautiful B&B. The rooms are attractive, warm, comfortable and quiet - we stayed in the Altamont Room. The common areas are perfect for a small group or for a larger family get together. The breakfasts were wonderful, and we appreciated the availability of drinks (coffee, tea, water and soda). We really felt as if we were a guest in someone's home.The Inn is just a 2 minute walk to the downtown pedestrian mall and easy access to the University of Virginia as well as local historical sites. We will definitely be back for another visit.

The Inn at 400 West was a delightful stop on our way home from a visit to NC. We were a family of three which typically makes it difficult to stay at a B and B. This Inn had a room that was perfect for us. In addition, the staff was friendly and helpful, the Innkeeper was extremely knowledgeable and communicated prior to our arrival, and after our departure, and the breakfast cooked by the morning staff person (I forget her name) was wonderful. All the amenities and extra touches were so nice; we even played a couple of board games in our room in the evening that were available at the Inn. I wish we could have stayed longer than one night. I would return without hesitation.

I just read all of the reviews already posted, and couldn't agree more with the 5-star ratings! We were five women in our 50s who travel to a different place every year for a long weekend. This was by far the best place we have stayed in all respects! The location, beautiful decor and garden, cozy rooms, comfortable beds and luxurious sheets, fabulous food, thoughtful "extras," and overall superb hospitality! We loved Amanda and her breakfasts! I would definitely stay here again and again. Tina (Austin, Texas)

We visited The Inn at 400 West High for our 20th wedding anniversary weekend in C'ville, where we met. We loved it! The rooms are very comfortable; the breakfast room is relaxing and beautiful. Breakfast was exceptional. Since it was our anniversary, I asked for a small fruit/cheese tray which they provided with all local foods. We enjoyed it sitting out in the garden area. The Inn is conveniently located within a short walk of the downtown walking mall in C'ville. We will definitely be back!

Finally, a steady stream of rundown concrete highways first Westbound and then north, brought us to Grayling.
The only reason we find ourselves ...
Almost Back In Milford
Our last campground stop before heading back to Milford to close on the house was just outside Grayling at Lake Margarethe State Forest Campground. One more beautiful campground on a lake that abutted Camp Grayling. It was very quiet and offered sites on the water that were appropriate for tent or trailers. Also several caches to get that are within walking distance to the campground.
While walking ...
Just me and you, and a VW
Arrived at the MIdland airport (yes its changed a bit over the years) and picked up our rental car. The agent at Budget was very excited to give us this "beautiful VW Beetle". Beautiful might be pushing it but it is a fun car (once we figured out how to open the trunk...) I'll post pics on Thursday...
ps. ...
Last day at Sturgeon Valley Campground
Weather threatened rain all day. Very windy and chilly. Took a short drive down the back road to fill gas at a nearby town. Back to the RV for lunch and spent some time doing laundry. Did some planning for our longer trip in the fall. JD took a drive to see the church with a large cross. Packing up - on the road tomorrow. ...

too late for planting seed
rober49(5 St Louis)July 30, 2014
I found some basil, borage, & arugula seed. I'd especially like the arugula & borage to mature enough to reseed itself.
is it too late for this year? if it is i'll just sow the arugula & borage this fall for next year.
msmarieh(Z5/N IL)
Borage will not overwinter in zone 5, but it certainly will self seed. I would guess it would set seed prior to winter, depending on how early your frost hits.
I would throw the seed down. There's a perfectly good chance some of the seeds would wait til next spring to sprout anyway.

Beautiful location and great staff
|Mar 25, 2015 Angela SC, United States
The hotel has a very nice heated pool and a couple of hot tubs of decent size. The rooms for travel zoo face the beach and have bee painted, but are very small and the shower and bath is tiny. The renovation was mainly paint. The light sockets were painted over ad the bath time is old almond color 6 x 6 inch tile with no hand rails or soap dish (strange). This location was formerly the Amelia Island resort, but hit skid row and was purchased by the Omni.
The travel zoo voucher was blacked out for main weekends and on some Fridays, i.e. 2/27. I purchased two vouchers for two nights back in Oct. 2014 for $350 bucks but could only use one night due to the Friday black out. I called reservations many times over the past month to see if I could add Friday 2/27. They said I could apply the $150 I paid for the other voucher to he standard room rate of $364 per night? Really, $364 per night in the dead of Winter with the temps at the beach of 40 degrees? That's ridiculous. The Omni is no where the same level of sophistication as the Ritz one mile down the road and $364 per night in February is crazy. The rate in June must be $700 per night? I would like t be credited for the voucher I could not use $150 please.

We had a great experience at this apartment. It was in a very cool location, central to almost everywhere. The apartment was exactly as described and clean. Tami was our contact and answered any question we had in a very timely manner. Will definitely stay here and recommend to others.
This was a wonderful apartment! It was even bigger than I expected; very clean; plenty of street parking.
Listing pictures accurate, beautiful, bright, airy space. The kitchen served us well. Bed was comfortable. Loved the bathroom features! Deep soaker tub and a hair drier tucked in the closet made our stay really comfortable. Correspondence with hosts was super responsive. Every message I sent had a reply within 12 hrs. Tami was a text message away when we needed her, but the space was so perfect, we didn't need much! The neighborhood is what you make of it. We loved Kingssessing Park half a block away and the strip of restaurants on Baltimore between 46th and 49th (about a 5-10 minute walk). I would definitely recommend this space to family and friends!
We were 3 guys from the UK on a road trip and really enjoyed staying at the apartment. It's in a good location with a nearby trolley with a quick ride into town. The amenities were good too and the place was easy to access.
We had a wonderful experience at this apartment. The space was beautiful as pictured, hosts were responsive to texts/e-mails, and we had no issues finding parking right in front of the space and getting in.
The location is just as described. But it's tight for 4 adults, we made it work by using the couch. Also remember to use the key for the correct dope since they also use the regular house on airbnb.

I applied through college or university – interviewed at Symantec in November 2014.Interview Details
Met a recruiter at my school's career fair. He sent me an email a few days later asking to schedule a 30-45 minute technical interview. I scheduled the interview for a few weeks after the email was sent-- all coding questions (3 or them): one on implementing a stack with template, one on trees, one about parenthesis checking (also stack). Coded in C++ on collabedit.
Moved on to on-site interview: mostly conceptual questions about polymorphism, classes, and data structures. Got phone call a few days later saying I made it through, and HR contacted me the following week. Took about 2 weeks to finalize offer.
Total time taken to finalize things after the initial phone interview: ~3 weeks.Interview Questions

I applied through a recruiter. The process took a week – interviewed at Symantec in July 2014.Interview Details
A recruiter reached out to me regarding open position at Symantec. The recruiter worked quickly to set up 1 phone screenings and quickly move to an onsite interview. Everything was done in less than a week. Everything was pretty standard in terms of questioning. Coding exercises, data structure, algorithm, basic demonstrations and verbal descriptions of software solutions was chiefly the way to go. The team that I interviewed with was very supportive too. It was one of the quickest interview I ever had and the interviewer was easy to talk withInterview Questions

I applied through an employee referral. The process took a week – interviewed at Symantec in July 2014.Interview Details
I was contacted by a former colleague, mentioning that Symantec is having a very hard time finding C++ developers, and asking if I would be interested. He sent me a referral and a recruiter contacted me the next day. Two phone calls to talk about the position was scheduled for the next day, and then a technical phone interview was scheduled for later that week.
The initial phone call was just the recruiter reiterating the job description. They asked some very easy multiple choice technical questions and what my expected salary was. I mentioned that I noticed some other positions might be a closer match to my skills, and the recruiter told me that if this position wasn't a good fit, they would refer me to the groups with the other positions.
Some minor red flags were raised here, but only one made me consider stopping the interview process: when I mentioned I'd expect a bit more compensation to make up for a much longer commute, they just laughed and said 'oh, no, we won't give you more money because you have to commute.'
The second phone call was with the hiring manager. He asked some open and 'Tell me about a time when...' questions. There wasn't really anything technical.
The third phone call was a technical interview with a developer. It didn't cover much; there were a few more technical 'Tell me about a time when...' questions, and then I was asked to write code that does some basic text processing.
The third interview ended with the interviewer telling me that the recruiter would get back to me the next day to schedule an in-person interview, but I didn't receive any subsequent communications. I think this might have been because my expected salary was too high.Interview Questions

I applied through college or university. The process took 2 weeks – interviewed at Symantec in May 2014.Interview Details
Please read it if you are interviewing with Symantec.
The worst company I have ever interviewed with. Please think before accepting the offer. I got the first random call from them and was asked to give the interview. I was told the its Software Engineer in Test position. These were the exact word. Cleared that round and they schedules second phone interview 2 days later. They called me and told its QA position and asked me some QA related questions. I cleared that. They want to call me for onsite interview . It was Thursday and they asked me to come onsite on Monday. Everything was on phone. They didnt mail me till Saturday. Heights of irresponsibility. I emailed them back and asked. They said they wont be able to conduct on Monday. So they will reach me back.
I mailed them twice but no reply. One week passed away. Then I asked them to schedule it on next wednesday. They said they will mail me the details. No email again till tuesday, the day before my interview. Again I mailed them and asked. They said they are working on it. How pathetic. Tomorrow is my interview and they are still working. Next day they scheduled my interview on Thursday. I went for the interview.
I got to know that the position has changed and they will be interviewing me for the Software Engineer position. Great! At the last moment they change the way they want. It was ok for me. They took the first 2 rounds which were not the technical rounds. They just discussed the position. There were going to be 6 rounds.
2nd round was taken by the manager and he said he is sending the interviewer for the third round. Then a person came in and said they are looking for a strong developer so they cannot move forward. I was shocked.
What was that. I told him that , I have not yet been tested on my coding skills . How can you judge without testing him. Actually there were no open position. They were just fooling me.
Its the worst company I have ever interviewed and would not suggest anyone.No OfferNegative Experience

I applied online. The process took 4+ weeks – interviewed at Symantec in March 2014.Interview Details
The process took a month. I was initially pre-screened by a person in Mountain View who later scheduled a phone interview with a Frontend Engineer. The phone interview was about 45 minutes. We talked about my previous experience and later she asked me a series of Javascript and jQuery questions. Basic questions like what is closure, variable hoisting, DOM manipulation questions. The onsite interview lasted 6 hours with six different 6 engineers. Some engineers were not asking too many technical questions and just wanted to get a feel for you. Some were very technical.

I knew someone in the company, told them I was interested in a position after finishing college. A couple of weeks later I received a phone call from a recruiter who asked what kind of position I was looking for, and when I would want to start. I told them I was interested in a software development position, but didn't know any specifics about what was available. They set up an in-person interview with several departments in order to find out what best suited my abilities, which took about 3+ hours (one hour for each department.) Each interview started with a few questions about my experience and then moved on to questions about general concepts in the computer science. A couple of the interviewers also asked me specific problems that I worked out on the board in the room in front of them. If I didn't know a part of the way to solve a problem, they would explain that aspect.Interview Questions

Retirement backlog grows slightly in July
For the third month in a row, the Office of Personnel Management failed to meet its monthly goal for processing retirement claims. OPM's backlog now sits at 25,601 claims, up slightly from June. OPM blames its reduced processing power on the automatic, across-the-board budget cuts known as sequestration. To comply with the budget shortfalls, OPM was forced to suspend overtime for its employees in its Retirement Services division starting April 28.
Citing sequestration, OPM pushes back retirement processing goal
The Office of Personnel Management now estimates it will not be able to clear a longstanding backlog of retirement claims until next summer. OPM Associate Director for Retirement Services Ken Zawodny told Federal News Radio the suspension of overtime in late April has left the agency essentially treading water when it comes to processing retirement applications.
Hold on OPM nominee likely short lived
The White House says the Office of Personnel Management will issue the final rule on how the Affordable Care Act would apply to lawmakers and their staffs on Oct. 1. The Senate confirms the former OPM Director John Berry to be ambassador to Australia, the Census director, the CFO at Commerce and the Navy's comptroller and assistant secretary for energy, installations and the environment.
House wants to beef up agency customer service
Legislation aimed at improving response times and customer service across government agencies passed the House Wednesday.
Sen. Coburn to put hold on OPM director nominee
Sen. Tom Coburn (R-Okla.) said he wants an answer from Office of Personnel Management and the White House on how the Affordable Care Act will apply to lawmakers and their staff before moving forward with Katherine Archuleta's nomination to serve as OPM director.
GAO advocates for a better-defined grants-management workforce
A new GAO report is recommending OMB be more specific in its guidance on grant management. The report said 5,100 employees are significantly involved in managing grants.
Senators seek to eliminate 'official time' for federal employees
Sen. Tom Coburn (R-Okla.) introduced a bill to eliminate official time for federal employees. Official time is the paid time that employees spend on union work.
Tester aims to strengthen OPM's oversight of security clearance process
Legislators want to strengthen OPM's ability to oversee the security clearance process to thwart under-qualified candidates from obtaining and keeping security clearances.
OPM, AFGE test drive new governmentwide mentoring hub
The goal of the mentoring hub is to provide a one-stop shop and standardize, in many respects, how mentoring and knowledge sharing are done across the government. The first pilot focuses on human resources and problem solving. It includes a series of group mentoring events to share techniques for solving problems.
Archuleta makes case to senators to be next OPM director
Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee members pressed Katherine Archuleta on her qualifications, how she will address the retirement claims backlog and on the use of official time. Archuleta appears headed down the path toward confirmation.
New taskforce to help agencies use volunteers to meet goals
President Barack Obama announced a taskforce Monday to help agencies better utilize volunteers in achieving their missions. The Corporation for National and Community Service will lead the taskforce along with representatives from 18 federal agencies and organizations.
OPM hopes cyber-job database will help agencies fill workforce gaps
As the cybersecurity workforce gets older and closer to retirement age, the Office of Personnel Management is trying to help agencies find new talent. It's creating a new database of cyber positions that it hopes will help agencies identify the cyber skill sets needed to meet their missions. The Obama administration has made reducing critical cyber workforce gaps one of its top "cross-agency" goals.
Charities bristle at OPM's proposed changes to CFC program
The Office of Personnel Management's proposed changes to the Combined Federal Campaign, the annual federal fundraising drive, are getting a frosty reception from local charities. OPM wants to do away with the local volunteer coordinating committees and put in place a set of more centralized regional committees established by OPM. It also wants to require charities to pay an application fee and eliminate cash and check donations in favor of electronic donations. However, some charities say the proposed changes would likely lead to fewer charities joining the program -- and fewer total donations.
OPM encouraging managers to prepare for post-DOMA benefit changes
The Supreme Court struck down parts of DOMA on June 26. Federal managers now must decide how to recognize legal same-sex marriages. Agencies also must update their enrollment systems to include same-sex spouses and their children.
Federal recruiting, NSA survelliance, and more
Linda Rix, co-CEO of Avue Technologies will give her take on a wide range of issues affecting the federal job market.

Sequestration slowing OPM's efforts to clear retirement backlog
OPM processed just 8,683 claims last month about 2,800 fewer than it had initially expected to. That's the second month in a row OPM fell behind in processing monthly claims according to new OPM data. The agency was forced to eliminate overtime for employees in its Retirement Services operation at the end of April because of the automatic budget cuts.
Incomplete data, missing deadlines hinder agencies' telework goals
The Office of Personnel Management needs to beef up its role in helping agencies set goals for increasing telework, the Government Accountability Office concluded in a new report. Under the 2010 Telework Enhancement Act, agencies are required to take new steps to increase the number of employees who telework -- and OPM is required to report to Congress on agencies' goals for doing so. But GAO found many new mandated reporting requirements went unmet in OPM's 2012 report to Congress, the first since the telework law went into effect.
Retiring: Pays to plan ahead...
The No. 1 complaint people have after retiring is how long it takes them to get the first full annuity payment. Depending on a lot of things it can take anywhere from a couple of months to more than a year.
Presidential Rank Awards still matter even without the cash, OPM says
The Office of Personnel Management released a statement Thursday urging agencies to still nominate executives for the Presidential Rank Awards despite the absence of bonus money. OPM said winners will receive presidential recognition.

Love in A Cold Climate
From Library Staff
A masterful adaptation of Nancy Mitford's semi-autobiographical family saga. This eight-part miniseries seamlessly weaves together two women's tangled love affairs.
From the critics
Community Activity
CommentAdd a Comment
The acting is very strong, as some reviewers have noted. Rosamund Pike is especially good--I would watch her in ANYTHING. If Nancy Mitford lovers are slightly disappointed with this, it's only natural. It's hard to recapture the atmosphere of England before the war.
This film started out strongly, but finished so weak. The characters were very well cast, but one didn't have much empathy for them as their poor decisions were reflected in their lives.
Very funny! Great acting especially the performances of Alan Bates and Anthony Andrews (his frequent smarmy leers are priceless). Be sure and watch out for the Bolter.
Disappointing. The movie combines both Nancy Mitford titles: The Pursuit of Love and Love in a Cold Climate - and this results in so much of the characterization and the humour being removed. Too ambitious and it falls a bit flat.

At first glance, the question is a good one. After all, this is not the equivalent of an intramural disagreement

starting seeds in coldframe now?
I'm desperate to get a jump on spring, and was thinking of starting seeds in a coldframe. Flower seeds, some perenials, some annuals. Is it too early yet? We're looking at some coldish nights this week, just about freezing, but no actual freezing yet.
Daytime temps are expected between 49 and 68 for the next week. Night time temps between 34 and 46. What temps will the frame be needed to be on?
I was thinking of making the coldframe out of pvc tubing for the frame and clear plastic from a farm supply store (like the kind you would use for a paint drop sheet). Anything else cheap that might be used to insulate on a really cold night?
Your idea should do until the last frost is past.
Go for it!
My zone is a bit warmer and I'm desperate also.
As for something cheaper, from what I've seen PVC and plastic is one of the cheapest ways to make a cold frame.
it's reusable and portable. Check out pvcplans.com for ideas on a shape.
Hope that helps.

Thank you for the update Al -
I am pleased to see that someone in TDA finally realized there is a lack of seating & shade in DCA for Park Guests (that's not the only thing DCA lacks, but I hope TDA pays attention to other details which can improve a Park Guests experience vs. making it a day turned irritating - such as making another Entrance / Exit into the Carsland area?) ....
I'm sure there are many factors which explain why attendance has increased for DCA & decreased for Disneyland (& I wonder if the numbers start that way at opening time & change towards mid-day, or evening). One factor which has kept me from going back to Disneyland / DCA is the increase in park admission (sigh - what happened to the good old days when Corporate Sponsors paid for new Attractions & Rides - & their upkeep - instead of Park Guests?) ....
Disneyland's 60th Anniversary is just around the corner. Tomorrowland needs more tlc then the City of Anaheim does for its current public relations situation (bad police officers leave a negative impression about a City in Orange County which does not deserve it) & PeopleMover (along with a TRON experience) would be welcomed. It pains me to see space wasted between Frontierland & Fantasy when that space could expand both areas (& please don't get me started on Mickey's Toontown - we lost both the Pirate Ship Restaurant & Skull Rock for this? UGH!) ....
Disneyland Maintenance - while I wish whomever was responsible for implementing the new sleds @ the Matterhorn was forced to ride them ad infinitum 'til their shins were bruised & broken (what an epic fail), what about the CAL-OSHA enforced make over of Alice? (will there be a more cohesive change to that ride?) What about Indy ? (I <3 the ride, but its been breaking down too many times & I guess it could use some tlc). How about finally getting rid of Aladdin's Oasis? (a waste of space in Adventureland & it smells like poop over there) Am I the only one who misses the Tahitian Terrace?
I haven't experienced Buena Vista Street @ DCA; so I figure only time will tell if Carthay Circle Restaurant (& Lounge) offers up a success (or a need to be revised). Like many Disneyland / DCA Park Guests, I stick to a budget & tend to eat before entering either Theme Park (anyone else here remember dining @ Sambo's Restaurant on 1100 W. Katella Avenue in Anaheim?); with an occasional treat within the Theme Parks (ie dole whip, homemade fudge); but the reports about a downsized Penny Arcade @ Main Street makes me sad (I guess TDA wants more space to shill merchandise and / or offer another dining experience) ....
As for carrying on the traditions started by Walt Disney in honoring Anaheim Cast Members who worked 10, 15, 20 (& more) years ... I applaud anything (& everything) that is done for loyal Employees; but what a disservice this must be when such an event is under budgeted & downsized (& mementos are not delivered on time). I wonder if things would be better off if the Walt Disney Co in Burbank (along with Team Disney Anaheim) would just mail a plaque / statue (or whatever token of appreciation) on time to those Cast Members on their Anniversary with the Company. Then offer said valued Cast Members a Disney 2 Day Holiday @ the Walt Disney Resort - Theme Park of their choice (I come from a Family of former Continental Airline Employees & I have to say even a de-regulated Airline Industry offered more to their Employees on their Anniversaries with the Company then the Walt Disney Co - which is more profitable then any current Airline). I guess if writing to the Walt Disney Co doesn't improve this significant ceremony, then embarrassing them in the media ought to ....
Here's to a future where Park Guests & Cast Members enjoy fun times at Disneyland & Disney California Adventure
Wow.... Al slams issues in the park and people attack him over it. Al has some positive things to say about the park and people attack him over it.
Just no making you people happy is there? :p
Al is no different than any of us in that he has just as much right to make statements based on his opinons, and to change opinions due to various factors....
I actually found it rather refreshing that Al is acknowledging when he feels that Disney has gotten something RIGHT and isn't afraid to post good news when it occurs, i.e. DCA's new popularity, etc. After reading MANY articles in which Al has beaten DCA into a pulp, the fact that he is now giving Disney a high five for forking out 1.5 billion to fix up a disaster of a park shows his objectivity. Just the fact that you have people bashing him for criticizing Orlando and bashing him for actually posting a positive column on DCA shows, to me anyway, that he is doing his job. Thanks for your update Al. I've spent almost all of my time this Summer in the new DCA and I keep telling myself that this is what they SHOULD have done 10 years ago. Let's hope that TDO will get a clue and do the same for Disney Hollywood Studios. It might not be such a bad idea for the folks over at DHS in Disneyland Paris to do the same as I think they will take on the mantle of "Worst Disney Park" now that DCA has been improved.
I used to LOVE eating at Sambos as a kid! :D I would have sworn it was on Harbor but my sense of direction was a bit off when I was 4 or 5. At the time I had no idea that my parents were trying to save money. All I knew was that those pancakes were amazing.
Don't write a headline like that about Tomorrowland if the only information you can give us is that, "it looks like the cat is in the bag!" All of the Tomorrowland information was rehashed past the fact that you think it is more of a sure thing. I mean, I'll be the first to say that I'm overjoyed that you shared the extra tidbit with us, but the way you advertised this article led us all to believe you were going to give us more. And you still haven't said anything recently about the PeopleMover tracks or the Astro Orbitor situation...they have to be included in all of this, right? If WDI is looking critically at Autopia and Finding Nemo Submarine Voyage and for sure demoing Innoventions, then there has to be more.
And please, don't insult the 99% movement, especially when this rioting has nothing to do with it. Maybe you were able to create a job for yourself, but most people in this country are suffering from the bs that is going on in terms of employment and the economy. Times are still incredibly difficult for most Americans. Keep your political comments out of your articles, unless the politics are within the Disney realm.
I generally love reading your articles, and while a lot of people criticize you at every turn for your criticisms (or not doing enough of them now, apparently), I have found the majority of them to be appropriate because you are a journalist writing about Disney and your opinions based on what the company does. But that's where the realm of your discussion needs to stay.
It's a shame that Disney isn't properly celebrating their employees and continuing their past mistakes. I don't think it's such an insult to park in the parking garage (it makes perfect sense to me for the CMs to just ride in on the trams), but they should be getting their awards on time by now, and given better food and drink. They make the magic for guests every day - they deserve to experience some of that magic, too.
I haven't eaten dinner at Carthay Circle yet, but I am very eager to and have visited the lounge a few times. The drinks and appetizers have not disappointed! The place is very expensive, though. If it was a little more affordable I would have eaten upstairs by now. Looking at the menu, my boyfriend didn't appear very enthusiastic - there's a heavy emphasis on seafood, which he doesn't eat save for sushi. I love seafood, but I understand why he's not as excited as I am. We both love the ambiance of the place, though. Shame the service isn't getting good reviews...the last time I dined at Napa Rose, the service wasn't up the snuff either. I'd visited twice before and it had been great. If Disney wants to get on par with fine dining, they have to offer their employees excellent wages and benefits. Walt understood that...
Al Said: "It took a few days for the news of the lifted block out to register with everyone up in Burbank, but by the third week in July there were several thousand additional free tickets padding the attendance figures each day. Most of the sign-ins head to Disneyland first, and luckily both parks soaked up the few thousand extra freebies each day without a hiccup."
Actually, I think that many people visiting the resort will head to DCA first in order to experience Carsland before it gets too crowded. THEN they head over to Disneyland.
Of course, the issue with that is that the FIRST PARK entered gets the attendance number. So DCA will get the enhanced numbers even if the guests eventually spend more of their day in Disneyland.
One point: The combined attendance from DCA and Disneyland is close to what the attendance to Disneyland alone used to be on a busy summer day. I think DCA is definitely cannibalizing some level of Disneyland's attendance.
what does TSMM stand for?
Hey Mac Daddy
Well, SAMBO's was on the corner of W. Katella Ave & S. West St (across the street from the Anaheim Convention Center) & that was just 1/2 a block west of S. Harbor Blvd (I guess depending on the direction you were coming from. Harbor Blvd would be an accurate benchmark)... yeah, those pancakes (& their desserts - mmm I'm getting hungry (lol) ...
I personally don't see a reason to bash Al ... I'll always view MiceChat @ a place where Walt Disney Theme Park Fans can agree, or disagree, & offer their opinions freely (so long as they are not personal attacks against each other). I feel we suffered enough during the Eisner era (ie whenever I see something wrong @ Disneyland that wasn't fixed properly and / or is broken down beyond repair? I cal it an "eisner" (lol) & having a place like this allows for compliments & criticism in a way (that I hope) the Walt Disney Co. would pay attention to (let's face it, if you offered a critic on their official blog it would A) never get posted & B) would immediately be removed). I'm also grateful for the coverage of "other theme parks" and / or "water parks" (you can practically plan a vacation here & get good tips / suggestions on how to improve your theme park moments) ... While I'm taking a break from Disneyland / DCA, I plan on returning for the 60th Anniversary of Disneyland (hopefully by then, most of the minor complaints will have been dealt with & there may be some new Rides / Attractions to enjoy). Whew, I could use a Ferrell's Ice Cream Parlor right now (Las Vegas could use one but Coldstone's Ice Cream will have to do) ....
