Comments about ODI Vans Checkered Lock On Grips:
These look awesome replacing the ergos on my Misfit Dissent. Been rocking Vans since the 3rd grade & ODI since I've been riding. The collaboration looks great and features the same great grip, comfort and durability I've come to expect from ODI. Lock-ons are my jam and ODI does it best IMO.

J.P. Padgett is a baseball player and proud of it.
The recent Dixon High graduate said he likes the sport because it requires him to work on his "mental focus," especially when he is on the pitching mound and going one-on-one against batters.
"If you played this game, you can do a lot of things in the long run," Padgett said. "Every day we worked, for sure."
The 18-year-old Padgett has been a baseball player for 10 years and he wouldn't trade being on the diamond for anything else. He will continue playing the sport next season at North Carolina-Pembroke after he left Dixon having been named to the N.C. Baseball Coaches Association 1-A all-state team for the second consecutive season.
"We saw from the first day he walked on campus as a freshman that he was a cage rat," Dixon assistant coach and team spokesman Nick Raynor said. "One thing about J.P. is that he evolved into a front-line pitcher and I give him a lot of credit. He worked on his game constantly and evolved into this pitcher.
"He pitched in the state championships as a freshman and that experience really elevated him and then he knew what he was capable of."
However, Padgett didn't always have a love for baseball. At one time he hated it.
"I've been playing since I was six, but I took a couple of years off because I hated it," Padgett said. "I liked soccer more, but my dad made me play. I fought it and I didn't want to play. But I ended up loving it."
Fast forward to the present and Padgett is quite a ball player, especially on the mound. He was the only area player named to the baseball all-state team.
"It's a great thing to be a part of the best players in the state," Padgett said. "We have a lot of good players around. It's a big honor."
This past season, the right-hander went 7-4 with a 1.72 earned run average, 101 strikeouts. Padgett also batted .337.
His efforts helped lead a Dixon team that suffered several injuries this year to a 17-10 overall record and into the East Regional semifinals of the NCHSAA 1-A playoffs.
Padgett was also a first-team pitcher on The Daily News all-area team.
Last year, he was 9-1 with a 1.72 ERA and 105 strikeouts.
"It wasn't a standout year I had last year. I went 7-4 and I struggled a lot more this year than I usually do," Padgett said. "We had a lot of young players and I felt more pressure to put a little more effort into it. There was a lot on my shoulders this year."
But while Padgett's statistics weren't the same as last year, he felt he threw the ball better this season. Padgett was Dixon's ace and often went up against strong lineups.
"I had a lot of arm problems last year," he said. "This year I didn't feel as bad as I felt last year. I felt a lot better on the mound."
And Padgett felt good that the Dixon coaches had confidence in him to take the ball against quality teams.
"You can't be on the mound and not have confidence," he said. "I go right after guys. I've always been like that. I never take a chance to walk somebody unless coach wants me to pitch around somebody."
Raynor called Padgett a "consistent" pitcher.
"We knew exactly what we were going to get when we gave him the ball," Raynor said. "He was a reliable starter. He hit some bumps in the road, but he pitched his best baseball, hands down, in the playoffs. Those were his best games. He wanted to put his team on his shoulders."

I've never liked celery. To me, it's like eating green water held together with a lot of stringy, indigestible fibers. Unless it's filled with peanut butter or cream cheese, you can have it. The only time I ever buy a bunch is when I'm making stock, which is a shame, because I only just need a few stalks and usually the rest sits in my refrigerator until it wilts and dies and I have to throw it out. And I hate throwing food away. A lot of other people in France must feel the same way I do because at the markets, the vendors will gladly slice a bunch in half and sell you just part of one.
Yes, I've seen those recipes for things like braised celery and boiled celery, which allegedly are the most wonderful ways to transform that ho-hum vegetable into something edible. I'll have to take their word for it, because when I read through those recipes, no matter how excited the authors are about discovering a new way to prepare celery, the finished dish still sounds like it's going to taste like rolled-up soggy newspaper. Until I'm proved wrong, for now I'll stick with celery root, which is a whole 'nother story.


text: On June 21, 2012 at 1044 hours, two male black suspects used a handgun to commit a robbery at JB Jewelry, located at 8888 Warner Avenue. During the robbery, the suspects bound and gagged a 72 year old female store clerk. The suspects fled the scene with $104,000 in jewelry. A few hours later, officers from the Los Angeles Police Department made contact with two subjects who were identified as Brian Lee and Quinntion Barnes. Lee and Barnes were in possession of stolen property from the earlier robbery. Fountain Valley Police Department Detectives responded to LAPD and subsequently arrested Lee and Barnes for the robbery. Detectives were able to recover a significant amount of the stolen property. Both suspects were booked into Orange County Jail. The Orange County District Attorney's Office charged both suspects with robbery, kidnapping, and elder abuse. Any witnesses to the robbery are asked to contact Detective Steele at (714)593-4465.

Prior to his service in the U.S. House, Amash served one term in the Michigan House of Representatives from 2008 to 2010.
Although Amash is classified as voting more often with the Democratic Party according to multiple outside rankings, this stems from his tendency to vote against many Republican-sponsored bills that he views as not conservative or libertarian enough. This includes the 2014 House Budget bill, H Con Res 25, sponsored by Paul Ryan which had 221 Republican votes. Amash voted "nay" for reasons such as: "It accepts the $600 billion in new taxes established at the time of the so-called fiscal cliff deal (which I opposed). It *increases* government spending at the rate of approximately 3.4 percent per year." His reasoning for breaking with the party on these major votes often is on the opposite side of the spectrum from the reasoning the Democratic Party opposes bill such as this one. [1]
Amash was born in 1980 in Grand Rapids, Michigan. After graduating from Grand Rapids Christian High School, Amash went on to earn his B.A. and J.D. at the University of Michigan in 2002 and 2005, respectively. Prior to his political career, Amash worked as an attorney.[2]
Below is an abbreviated outline of Amash's political career[2]:
- 2008-2010: Michigan House of Representatives
- 2011-Present: U.S. House of Representatives, Michigan's 3rd congressional district
Committee assignments
U.S. House
Amash serves on the following committees:[3]
- Oversight and Government Reform Committee
- Subcommittee on Government Operations
- Subcommittee on National Security, Homeland Defense and Foreign Operations
Amash served on the following House committees:[4]
- Joint Economic Committee
- Budget Committee
- Oversight and Government Reform Committee
- Subcommittee on Federal Workforce, U.S. Postal Service, and Labor Policy Vice Chair
- Subcommittee Government Organization, Efficiency, and Financial Management
- Subcommittee on TARP, Financial Services, and Bailouts of Public and Private Programs
In March 2012, Amash was one of two Republicans who voted against Paul Ryan's budget plan in the House Budget Committee. Amash and Tim Huelskamp both said they felt the plan did not cut the budget fast enough. In December 2012 it was revealed that both representatives would not serve on the House Budget Committee in the 113th Congress.[5][6]
Presidential preference
Justin Amash endorsed Ron Paul in the 2012 presidential election.
Specific votes
Fiscal Cliff
Amash voted against the fiscal cliff compromise bill, which made permanent most of the Bush tax cuts originally passed in 2001 and 2003 while also raising tax rates on the highest income levels. He was one of 151 Republicans that voted against the bill. The bill was passed in the House by a 257/167 vote on January 1, 2013.[7]
Paul Ryan Budget Proposal
In March 2013 the Republican controlled House passed the budget proposal set out by Wisconsin Rep. Paul Ryan (R) for the third straight year.[8] However, not all Republican representatives voted in favor of the proposal.[8] Amash was one of the 10 Republican Representatives who voted against Ryan's budget proposal.[8]
The proposal was killed after being voted down in the U.S. Senate with a 40-59 vote.[9]
The proposal would have cut about $5 trillion over the next decade and aimed to balance the budget by the end of the 10-year period.[8] The 2013 bill had opposition from 10 Republicans — the same number that voted against it in 2012. In 2011 only four Republicans cast a vote in opposition.[8] Democrats have unanimously voted against the bill every year.[8]
Conservative Fight Club
According to the conservative website RedState, Amash is one of 16 U.S. House members in the "Conservative Fight Club", a designation meant to describe the gold standard of conservatives, as outlined by RedState. They are the 16 Republicans who voted against the continuing appropriations resolution to avoid the impending government shutdown in March. This type of resolution is used to fund government agencies when a formal federal budget has not been approved.[10]
Campaign themes
The following are several issues that were highlighted on Amash's campaign website.[11]
- Accountability & Transparency
Excerpt: "I am the first-ever Member of Congress to explain every vote I take on the House floor, which I do on my official congressional Facebook Page. In addition, I have never missed a vote as a state legislator or Member of Congress."
- Economy & Regulations
Excerpt: "Government can best help the economy by making regulations predictable and uncomplicated, simplifying the tax code, and letting businesses stand or fail on their own merit."
- Education
Excerpt: "The right of parents to educate their children as they see fit, including the right of homeschooling, should not be infringed. Government-mandated curriculums and teaching methods do not properly account for different learning styles, leaving many children confused and falling short of their potential."
- Environment
Excerpt: "The best way to protect the environment is through strong enforcement of property rights and pursuit of sound economic policy."
- Health Care
Excerpt: "As a Member of Congress, I have voted to repeal the President's plan to force families and individuals to purchase government-approved health insurance... We need reforms that will reduce the real costs of health care, not force participation in a government system."
- Immigration
Excerpt: "The United States has always welcomed individuals who legally seek to enter our country to work or become citizens, but Congress and the President must make every effort to secure our borders."
- Life, Faith & Family
Excerpt: "The proper function of government is to protect individual rights—life, liberty, and property. I believe that life begins at conception, and it is unconscionable that government would sanction the taking of the helpless and innocent."
- National Defense & Civil Liberties
Excerpt: "I have led the fight against big-government initiatives like the Patriot Act, SOPA, CISPA, and the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for FY 2012."
- Second Amendment
Excerpt: "Congress must halt the unconstitutional practice of restricting a person's ability to purchase, transport, store, or possess arms on public lands or on that individual's private property under the guise of regulating interstate commerce."
- Social Security & Medicare
Excerpt: "We must keep our promises to seniors and not change benefits for those who are currently receiving or soon will receive Social Security or Medicare... We must begin to phase in significant reforms for the benefit of future generations."
- State Sovereignty & Individual Rights
Excerpt: "The federal government should not improperly apply the General Welfare Clause, the Commerce Clause, or the Necessary and Proper Clause to justify regulating activities that are not within its authority."
Amash won re-election in the 2012 election for the U.S. House, representing Michigan's 3rd District.[12] He ran unopposed in the August 7 Republican primary. He defeated Steve Pestka (D) and Bill Gelineau (L) in the general election on November 6, 2012.[13]

ANAHEIM – Bob Murray knew what he wanted to be doing Tuesday night, and it wasn't taking part in a late-morning media scrum while players shuffled about around him.
The plan for the Ducks general manager was to be up in his box high up in Honda Center, watching his team take on the Kings in an inaugural playoff matchup that would have captivated any and maybe every Southern California hockey fan.
But after the Ducks lost to Detroit in Game 7 on Sunday night, Murray plainly broke down how a first-round knockout would not cut it in a year when they were Pacific Division champions and a No. 2 seed in the Western Conference.
"I didn't expect to be having meetings with players at this moment," Murray said. "We got beat. We got schooled. We got schooled by a very good playoff team. They schooled us from top to bottom.
"That's something we have to deal with going forward. We got beat."
Two days only lessened the deeply somber mood that enveloped the Ducks' dressing room at Honda Center following their 3-2 defeat. Signs pointing the media to the interview room for the playoffs were still present as the Ducks are still in disbelief that their season is over.
"The last couple of days have been tough, obviously thinking after the game and today," Ducks captain Ryan Getzlaf said. "It's not been fun watching the other teams still playing."
Said goalie Jonas Hiller: "I think there's a lot of emptiness. You're suddenly sitting there thinking if that really happened."
The Ducks have their share of foundation players to take them forward but Murray vowed that they won't look the same for the 2013-14 season when they get back to playing 82 games.
"As I'm standing here today, I'm telling you it won't be the same team next year," Murray said. "We made a lot of good steps. We got a lot of good kids.
"It will not be the same team next year, I promise you that. It's not good enough. Just not good enough."
The Ducks have a core intact with Getzlaf and top-line winger Corey Perry signed for eight more years and defenseman Cam Fowler signed for another five. Hiller is signed for next year while Viktor Fasth is locked in another two.
Winger Bobby Ryan is contracted through 2015 as are defensemen Francois Beauchemin, Luca Sbisa, Sheldon Souray and Bryan Allen so the Ducks likely won't be a big player in free agency. Murray, however, wouldn't rule out making deals to reshape his team.
"Lots of things are possible," he said. "Again, it won't be the same team."
The futures of Teemu Selanne and Saku Koivu will be a key question in the coming weeks. Selanne and Koivu said they will take some time before deciding whether to continue playing.

This was the first game where he was given any sort of responsibility and he failed that responsibility of making the offense run. He can score well and that's fine, but we tried that last season and it didn't work particularly well.
Obviously Blake isn't ideal either, but I just simply don't trust Goudelock to run an offense.
There were also far too many games when the nine-year veteran wouldn't make himself a presence at all. Blake scored two points or less 16 times this season (including going scoreless seven times) and he also had 21 games where he dished out two assists or fewer.
Derek Fisher – 0.98
Ramon Sessions – 1.05
Steve Blake – 1.10
The Lakers starting four performed much worse with Steve Blake than with Fisher or Sessions.
This is particularly bad news considering Derek Fisher was past his prime and Ramon Sessions is not considered as a defensive stopper.
karacha wrote:I'm with Doc here. Glock creating is a disaster. But to play limited minutes and score 5-6 points? Maybe more if he gets hot? This kid can do it. It's not like Blake really creates for others either. He probably defends better then Glock at the 1, but... not by much these days. Blake does try harder on D, that's for sure. But Blake will almost never get hot, because to get hot -- as Phil Jackson used to say about Radman -- you have to shoot. If you hit, you'll keep shooting to stay hot. And if you miss -- you still keep shooting to get hot. In limited minutes, I would be OK with Glock chucking some shots. We need those guys who are not afraid to shoot. He can't create, but if you play him with Jamison or Pau... they can create their own shot anyway. Just have to be smart with the rotations.
Basically, I like guys like DJ Odom (athletic, can slash), Glock (chucker) and CDR (has experience, can and will score, albeit inconsistently) -- over people who, well... just won't do much at all -- Morris, Blake, Duhon.

Updated at 1:39 p.m. to correct the type of housing opened to lower ranks and retirees.
A debate has emerged after vacancies opened senior enlisted base housing to lower ranks and retirees.
At Marine Corps Air Station New River, houses vacant for more than 45 days have caused a waterfall effect by which non-active duty families can live in base housing. Those families include retirees and Department of Defense workers.
Enlisted families at or below the rank of sergeant were allowed to move to non-commissioned officer housing, which typically is reserved solely for staff sergeants and higher ranks.
According to DOD policy, a service member's Basic Allowance for Housing, or BAH, which is based on rank and service duration, is taken in full to live on base. Depending on a service member's rank, the difference between what they pay and what a DOD employee pays may equate to hundreds of dollars.
"(Waterfall residents) must qualify through the military housing office, complete all background checks, sexual registries, etc. like all other residents are required to do during the qualification process," Dixie Lanier-Johnson, public affairs representative for Atlantic Marine Corps Communities, said Wednesday. "The value to the individual service members regarding housing choices and whether to live on base or not is driven by a variety of factors."
Atlantic Marine Corps Communities in conjunction with bases offers supportive services, DoD schools, proximity to work, less traffic, child care, security, lawn care, utilities and community amenities, Lanier-Johnson said.
Business agreements, according to Atlantic Marine Corps Communities, mean the "on-base housing must be able to flex and adjust to the market." Those market variables include: increased housing availability off base; fewer chances to sell; reduced interest rates; and the growing prevalence of apartment incentives for service members and service families.
The incentives that Atlantic Marine Corps Communities offers are "normal business" to maintain and increase occupancy, Lanier-Johnson said. Their priority, she said, is to always have active duty military residents and their families in their homes, but a vacant home must be filled.
"We value all of our residents and their input and want them to have a positive living experience with us," Lanier-Johnson said. "But this is standard operating procedures for us and if we cannot maintain our occupancy then services could be cut."
The topic, which was addressed during Tuesday night's town hall meeting aboard MCAS New River also was paired with complaints of Marines and sailors of all ranks being allowed to move into housing reserved for officers. During the town hall meeting, Karina Phillips, a resident of the air station, said the influx of new residents has accompanied a rise in noise.
"The issue is that there shouldn't be a disparity for the same house," said Phillips, a Marine spouse. "It's a couple hundred dollars different and that's not fair. I would say they should adjust everyone's BAH to the same as the person paying the least amount of money that way it's fair to everyone. Their execution is just all wrong."
Atlantic Marine Corps Communities, the public-private venture with the Navy responsible for base housing aboard New River, is a business, said Phillips. She said she understands they don't make money from empty houses, but they should respect the Corps' style of business.
"Separate housing is a privilege and I know that, but it's something that has always come with the territory," Phillips said. "It's something we looked forward to and now we don't get it."
While base housing is a choice, Phillips said she is missing out on "substantial" rebates that new residents receive.
She said she is not the only person upset by the waterfall's exemptions.
"My rectification is to even out what people pay for houses dollar for dollar," Phillips said. "We did make that choice to move into base housing, but now that we're being charged more and not getting a refund."
During the meeting, the Marine Corps Air Station New River's commanding officer, Marine Col. Timothy Salmon, addressed concerns of base residents and said that living on base is a convenience — and a choice.
"In accordance with naval customs we are going to try to honor rank separation in base housing," Salmon said. "Housing on base is just like out in the civilian community. With time they expect to live in better quarters. That's the issue here with new people to the Marine Corps having the same quarters as our senior Marines which for new people coming into the Corps is a good thing."
Salmon understands the frustration, he said, but added that AMCC and the USMC have an agreement to fill vacant homes — something that residents must understand.
"If there's not enough staff non-commissioned officers to fill the housing, we are going to trickle down to the lower levels," Salmon said. "That's just the way it goes … it's the agreement made."

Other topics raised during the meeting included:

- $40 million for quality-of-life projects, including fitness facilities and youth centers.
- Additions to Semper Fit's schedule
- Additions to the behavioral health branch of Marine and Family Programs.
- New national accreditations acquired by the child development centers.
- Improved services aboard the installation, such as automotive skills center.
- The opening of the newborn specialty care clinic and emergency department at Naval Hospital Camp Lejeune.

About Russian RiverView a map of Russian River wineries
The Russian River Valley is named as such due to its proximity to the Russian River, the river itself named for the Russian fur traders who came down from Alaska in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. The Russian River is agricultural land. While there is a focus on wine, beyond the vineyards are many small, family-owned farms cultivating everything from cattle to Christmas trees.

Well as I said above, hello everyone. To get to know ya'll better maybe you could all post some tips and some fav loadouts. I already know xXAISPXx(AISP) and 1Pefrog(Dark*Star) very well (depends on your def. of "very" lol) and I enjoy being in matches with them. (I enjoy almost any matches with anyone unless its full of SMAW! SMAW! SMAW! people....) Well, hope to see you all on C2 online.
Here are my two favorite loadouts:
1. Carbonizer
MPSKA5(I think)
Rad grenades
Ammo belt or metal legs
light armor
2. Smaw (yes I know it may be noobish,but with the right upgrades its not that bad....)
FlashBang Grenades
Ammo belt
Improved ballistics
Yes, the SMAW is noobish but I think we can all agree it takes some decent(not crackshot but decent) aiming without the dual explosive upgrades........therefore making it not as noobish.[Seriously though the suicides accompanied with the firing of a SMAW up close are annoying!]
Hey Hope
Sometime you might use the secondary fire of the carbonizer and then you don't have to use the capacitor. You could put on explosive focus then and survive a smaw hit while cooking their insides to well done. Maybe watch one of Mike's videos on youtube on how to do the switch. His youtube is something like 'Watchmeplaynintendo'.

If it's yellow, leave it for the next fellow. If it's brown, flush it down.

Hey Hope
I agree with that statement but when you are in the heat of a battle against tough opponents its hard to switch out quick.Plus you are slow and cant react as well.Example:
phase dude shoots at me,I have capacitor and I can kill him before the shot is fired then move to the side because I have primary fire on....
Hope to see you soon on conduit.
Btw so many people have tried being "you" on C2.Lol They copy your entire loadouts(with cyborg customizations) and fail !!!
Only one is supreme at the dark star and its you.
what can I say everyone has their "special weapons..."
Guess yours is dark star and mine is still undecided...

Hello KhmerGirl ! Thanks for the welcome, I hope to see you soon on conduit 2 as well. What is your gamertag on conduit 2? Mine is Hope*.
Thanks. The Cyborg fits the dark star. Kind of like the Star Trek borg that were so smart they could build cool technology.
Hope, you are one of the players that come along and are instantly good. I even go to stealth against you so you can't find me as quickly. Some of us have to play a lot and we are just mediocre. If you keep at it you can become really great.

You can immediately fire on Primary Function by starting to fire and switching to Secondary. You can also move faster after this by switching back to the Primary Function while firing. Capacitor is a waste to use while you can do the same trick without it.

What's the best way to load a touring bike, to increase stability and balance? Assuming a standard two-rack-and-panniers setup, where should I put most of my weight? I have a camping load, about 50 pounds (including 4 water bottles, laptop, tent, food, and clothing). My bike is a steel touring bike, a Novara Randonee. I also have a large handlebar bag.
We can generalize the main areas where one can load weight as such:
The most commonly accepted points for load distribution are as follows:
I haven't used a handlebar bag myself, but the same logic applies. Weight in such a bag will have a very high center of gravity, as well as the ability to turn with you. Therefore, it might be a good place for maps, snacks, phone/keys/wallet, patch kit, etc.
I have the same bike, and have done a little loaded touring (though not recently, as my health no longer permits it). I find that keeping the load low and balanced is the key.
On the front it's important that the load be tightly attached, since if it is loose at all it will tend to wobble and resonate and can make the bike unmanageable on a rough surface. And if the front rack isn't exceptionally stiff you may need to limit the front load accordingly. The rear load is less critical, though obviously everything should be well-secured.
With all bags be aware of shoe clearance -- the front will tend to snag your toes in the turns, and the rear will catch your heels if too far forward. Re the front, partly you just need to train yourself to position your feet correctly on sharp turns (outside foot down), but you do want to be sure that nothing is projecting back towards your toes unnecessarily.
Use the handlebar bag only for lightweight stuff that you will want easy access to -- if heavily loaded it can make the bike hard to handle, both because of the high center of gravity and because it will amplify vibrations.
I like to carry tools in a tool bag lashed under my seat. This is a bit high, weight-wise, but a good tool bag (one that lashes to the seat rails rather than simply strapping on) will hold the tools vibration-free in most circumstances, and you don't have to dig to the bottom of your pannier if you have a flat.
Have you considered a trailer? This also allows local unloaded trips from a base without all the gear loaded. Keeps weight down low too.
I used to have front and rear racks with bar bag and stuff on the top rack. But, some Americans I was riding with continually took the Michael out of my front rack and the 'footballs' on each side. Those panniers were bad in headwinds and I had too much faff trying to get stuff from them - terrible.
Nowadays I recommend everything on the back except for the stuff in the handlebar bag. Big panniers without a multitude of pockets are more practical and you should be able to get all non-food items (including the handlebar bag) in them (for getting on planes etc.).
I ride with 4 panniers and try to put slightly more weight forward than aft, to ease the load on the rear wheel. You need to get comfortable with the extra weight on the front wheel, but I did not find this difficult. Prior to putting more weight front than aft, I was blowing spokes & wearing my rear tire excessively. As stated elsewhere, you need to balance left & right, both fwd and aft, and keep heavier objects low in the bags.

When David Rogers and his wife decided to buy a new car at National Dodge, they had no idea they'd have to save a life first.
David Rogers, a Marine sergeant and infantryman with Infantry Training Battalion, went to the National Dodge on
David Rogers quickly ran over to the lifeless man, took off his tie and ripped open his shirt as bystanders were stunned, not knowing what to do. David immediately started a sternum rub, to which Yates was unresponsive.
"I heard the last breath and was taking a pulse — he had no pulse left," David Rogers said in an interview with The Daily News shortly after the incident.
David said his wife handed their baby boy off to a salesman and jumped in to help her husband perform CPR. The two worked as a team, with Anastasia — a childcare provider certified in CPR — performing mouth-to-mouth resuscitation and David Rogers working on chest compressions. The duo was able to get Yate's lungs and heart working again, but as emergency responders arrived, Yate's heart stopped again.
"We were a good team," David Rogers said. "I can't believe my wife jumped in. She's a hero. It was just second nature to me."
David attributed his willingness to jump into the situation completely to his Marine Corps training. He said he could understand why other people stood and watched as he and his wife, who are both CPR-certified, saved the man's life.
"It's common for most people if you don't train every single day or you don't train all the time," David Rogers said. "You're going to be scared to jump into something that you could possibly do more damage to that person than actually doing any help."
David Rogers said in the time since the incident, Yates has recovered and is doing "outstanding."
"He's doing really good," David said. "He was actually trying to sell cars inside the hospital so I know he's doing good."
National Dodge Controller John Edwards said the company is grateful that David and his wife were at National Dodge that day.
"If (David) hadn't been here I'm not sure what the outcome would have been," Edwards said. "He and his wife jumped right in and started CPR...and we're very grateful."
Edwards said Yates still has a long way to go for recovery, but he remains in the hospital and is doing well. Yates was not available for comment.

"It's called the golden hour,"
Joy Branham, executive director of the Onslow County Chapter of the American Red Cross, agreed with

We use the latest fiber laser technology to engrave our tags. Many pet tag manufacturers use lower power CO2 laser engravers that do not actually engrave the metal but rather mark or laser bond on the metal. This type of laser marking does leave a clean dark mark but will eventually be illegible as the metal from the tag wears down. We at dogIDs use a high power fiber laser to engrave our tags which actually vaporizes and removes the metal so it is actually engraving instead of marking or laser bonding. This allows us to engrave deeply into the metal with pristine detail and a nice contrasting engrave color...Excellent looks with a true engrave that will NEVER wear off of your dog's tag. Engraving guaranteed for life...PERIOD!Learn more about our free engraving

Inside the Reporter's Notebook: DoD taking own path with cloud security, Treasury's Reger joins OMB
Friday - 3/28/2014, 2:31pm EDT
"Inside the Reporter's Notebook" is a biweekly dispatch of news and information you may have missed or that slipped through the cracks at conferences, hearings and the like.
This is not a column nor commentary — it's news tidbits, strongly sourced buzz, and other items of interest that have happened or are happening in the federal IT and acquisition communities.
As always, I encourage you to submit ideas, suggestions and, of course, news to me at firstname.lastname@example.com.
DoD taking own path with cloud security?
Defense Department CIO Teri Takai raised some eyebrows at the recent cloud and mobile integration conference sponsored by the National Institute of Standards and Technology.
Takai said DoD is developing its own cloud security standards.
"Moving into commercial clouds is a challenge. Each comes with a little different flavor of how they do security, how they manage and then the question becomes how much are they going to let us, DoD, see of the inner workings of their cloud and how far do we have to get in to make we can meet our security standards?" Takai said March 26. "We are looking at implementing a DoD cloud security model, which will effectively help us, with the assistance of the work that Federal Risk Authorization and Management Program (FedRAMP) is doing, provide to the commercial cloud providers some standards and some requirements to be able to operate for DoD."
One industry expert said Takai's mention of DoD cloud cyber standards is not a big deal as the Pentagon is focused solely on high security systems.
But GSA recently said it's beginning to work on FedRAMP standards for NIST level 3 high security systems. So if DoD is working on a separate set of security controls for high-value systems, that seems to fly in the face of what FedRAMP is all about. No?
A government source says DoD, and really all of government, is trying to figure out how to incorporate existing government security capabilities, such as continuous monitoring, Einstein and the Trusted Internet Connections, with public, private and hybrid cloud infrastructures.
Takai didn't clarify whether DoD's cloud cyber effort is complementary to FedRAMP efforts or directly related. Publicly, she's always been a big supporter of FedRAMP, which is why her comment raises concerns.
Without a doubt, security has to be DoD's top concern when using public or even hybrid clouds, but the whole point of FedRAMP was to take advantage of common, agreed upon standards to reduce time and cost.
"Our move to the cloud and our desire to move to the cloud is as security based as it's based in efficiencies, saving money or, to some extent, the presentation to the customer," she said. "We are at significant risk if in fact we continue to have very sensitive information on devices. That is not just from mobile perspective. That's from a standpoint of all the devices we use. We are seriously looking at how we can move to thin clients in those areas where it makes sense. From our standpoint, the less data on a device that can be compromised and lost, the better off we are from a security perspective."
What is clear about DoD's cyber efforts is the move to integrate NIST standards into the 8500 document is a big deal for federal IT community. This is the first update of the 8500 document since 2007. DoD released the revised cyber standards March 14.
"We are basing our standards on the NIST framework. There are going to be, in some cases, additional criteria that we will place on it," Takai said. "But we will no longer put companies in a situation of having to do something different for DoD than what they are doing for others in the federal government who also are picking up and meeting the NIST standard."
This is a major change that has been in the works for many years. DoD said in July they are more common than not when it comes to security standards.
And speaking of DoD and cybersecurity, Gen. Keith Alexander, the head of the National Security Agency and first commander of the U.S. Cyber Command, is retiring Friday.
Alexander faced a rough last year as head of NSA, but that shouldn't overshadow his contributions and success with standing up and making Cyber Command an influential organization.
Over the last four years, Alexander brought Cyber Command from an idea to reality, and expanded its capabilities from primarily defensive to a combination of both offense and defense.
He also promoted the hiring of more and better trained cyber workers and brought each of the service's individual cyber command under him for better oversight and coordination.
His tenure at NSA likely will be questioned based on details released by Edward Snowden, but as the father of the U.S. Cyber Command, his legacy is strong.
By the way, the Senate Armed Services Committee approved the nomination Alexander's replacement, Adm. Mike Rogers, March 26 as well as Robert Work to be deputy secretary of Defense.
Treasury's Reger joins OMB to fill financial management void
The Office of Management and Budget turned to a veteran of federal budgeting to begin replacing its top two financial managers.
Mark Reger recently came over to OMB on detail from the Treasury Department to be the acting deputy controller.
Reger's detail helps fill the void left when controller Danny Werfel became the acting IRS Commissioner in May 2013, and his replacement Norman Dong, who had been deputy and then acting controller, moved over to head up the General Services Administration's Public Building Service in late March.
By bringing Reger over, OMB has a veteran of state and local government, and someone who has served in senior executive capacities in small and large agencies.
Reger has been Treasury's deputy assistant secretary accounting policy in the Office of the Fiscal Assistant Secretary since 2010 where he's helped lead the financial management standards effort. He is a member of the Federal Accounting Standards Advisory Board and was CFO at the Office of Personnel Management for three years.
Reger also comes as OMB is putting some of the most important pieces in place to give its financial management shared services some life. OMB and Treasury's Office of Financial Innovation and Transformation are expected to name new federal shared service providers in the coming month.
Along with the controller position, the White House still must name a new administrator in the Office of Federal Procurement Policy.
Federal Computer Week reported recently that Anne Rung, the associate administrator in the Office of Governmentwide Policy, is the on tap to be named to that role.
But talking with several senior executives and well-connected industry observers, Rung's nomination is nothing more than strong rumor.
OMB has suffered from holes in its management ranks for most of the last three-plus years of the Obama administration. With Director Sylvia Mathews and Deputy Director for Management Beth Cobert in place now for several months, senior federal executives have told me they are hoping for a re-emergence of the "M" side of OMB.
It's never a dull time for agency chief information officers what with Rob Carey, the principal deputy CIO at the Defense Department, and Interior Department's Bernie Mazer becoming at least the seventh and eighth CIO or senior IT executive to announce he's leaving in the last six months. Currently, five large agency CIOs are in acting roles, including at the Veterans Affairs Department, where Stephen Warren has been acting for more than a year.
But on the positive side, NASA Goddard Space Center quietly named Dennis VanderTuig as its new CIO back in January. VanderTuig has been with Goddard since 2007 and previously lead an evaluation and restructuring of the Goddard IT functions.
Several people are asking why the sudden exodus of CIOs.
Is it just time for people to move on to new challenges?
Or is something else happening in the federal IT community?
New contracts database a win for OFPP, but will it stop the proliferation?
It's great when OFPP commits to doing something and actually comes through and we find out about it. The combination of the two is a rarity across government.
Back in October 2011, then administrator Dan Gordon issued a memo in an effort to try to tame interagency contracting. In that memo, Gordon committed that OFPP would develop a database of all governmentwide acquisition contracts, blanket purchase agreements and other interagency contracts.
Well, OFPP launched the Interagency Contract Directory (ICD) and mentioned its existence to my knowledge for the first time publicly at the Acquisition Excellence Conference on March 20.
The ICD is pretty straightforward. You can do a simple search for keywords or, through the advanced search, you can filter the search through nine categories, including vehicle type, contracting department, who can use it — agencywide, DoDwide, governmentwide — and by product or service.
A quick search of IT and Telecom (D399 of course) returns more than 3,800 results. Who knew how many options an agency had to buy IT and telecom?
The results actually are quite informative, listing 26 different data elements ranging from who can use it, to whether it's set-aside for small businesses or other socioeconomic categories to how many orders have been placed and how much money obligated against the contract so far.
In all, there are more than 18,000 contracts listed on the site, which should be the first sign there is a problem with the proliferation of these contracts.
In addition to the ICD, OMB launched Uncle Sam's List last spring as a way to promote shared services. USL provides details on OMB's MAX site about more than dozen commodity IT service areas and more than a dozen support IT service areas that can used across the government.
"I think we need to build [ICD and Uncle Sam's List] out. I think we need to make it very clear what's already out there. We are learning a lot on those commodity teams," said Lesley Field, acting OFPP administrator. "We bring the people together and [they say] 'We have a contract for this, and we have a contract for this.' Those folks have never actually got into a room together to talk about how best to do it. And so, there's a lot more we can do in this space."
The idea of such a database is something that has been called for several times over the last eight years, and long-seen as a way to begin to address the proliferation of multiple award contracts.
The Government Accountability Office first highlighted the need in 2006. The Services Acquisition Reform Act Panel called for such a repository in its report in 2007. And GAO, again in May 2010 called for the development of a database, saying the lack of data hurts the government's ability to ensure they are getting the best prices and best value.
OFPP tried to develop such a database in 2006 when it launched the interagency contracting data collection initiative. But that effort didn't produce a worthwhile database.
Now that agencies know what contracts exist and who runs them, the long-held hope is that they will stop developing new ones and use the existing MACs.
Starting this year, OFPP requires agencies to develop a business case for any multiple award contract worth more than $50 million over the life of the vehicle and place the business case on OMB's MAX website for other agencies to review for at least 15 days.
The ICD may be one of the few ways to know if this policy is actually working based on raw numbers of contracts on the database.

I'm in the 'It's OK, but nothing special' camp.
Thread: LIDGE: don't believe the hype!
this juice doesn't need it, one of the best out right now!
dontcha think?
sailing the Oceans of Boredom...
I'm in the 'It's OK, but nothing special' camp.
From the thread title, I was all set to come and berate the OP Good thing he's just messing with us.
I think it's a great fragrance, sure enough, but there's something about it that keeps me from thinking it's a masterpiece.
I think it's the sweet chocolatey-musk drydown that does it, but hey, there's not much else out out there that does the same thing (let alone nearly as well) and its longevity and effect on the fairer sex can't be faulted, so maybe it does deserve its reputation.
Easily an 8.5/10 fragrance for me, and I'm a hard marker.
definitely above average, borderline 1 of the greats, I'm sure it's not the best in that house
I am so happy I have this one. Brilliant. In my mind one of the best there is. Certainly at this price point. Can get cloying on me though...which is not always a bad thing if you learn how to wear the scent and when. Do not over spray! This one grows without a doubt on me. I LOVE stronger scents but more than two sprays chokes me out. One spray and I love it and so do people around me. Complemets galore with one spray usually under my shirt and one on my wrist dabbed to the other. Best $70 bottle I ever bought.

Seemed to thick and cloying on me.
Is the juice worth the squeeze?
They did a good job creating a scent that appeals to people with a specific olfactory sensibility.

Fantastic Juice, suits me perfectly.
Good juice for sure, but "one of the best"?

Never tried it. I'm quite sure it's "really good" but I doubt it's the best.
Mature, lovely scent. Great juice for sure.
I have yet to smell Pardon to compare these two, I've heard Nasomatto's is an improved version of LIDGE.

Best not to believe the hype on this one or you may end up just a little disappointed.
Haven't tried it, though I'd be willing to. I used to have a bias against sweet scents, but that changed a bit when I embraced 1 Million.
And I found out yesterday that I sort of like YSL LaNuit. So I guess we can all evolve in our tastes.
It's nice. But I can't quite understand some of the fascination with this one.
Seasonal favorites:
1. Xerjoff - Nio
2. Creed - Aventus
3. Tom Ford - Grey Vetiver
4. The Different Company - De Bachmakov
5. Dior - Homme Sport 2008
6. Montale - Aoud Legacy
7. Creed - Virgin Island Water
8. by Kilian - Straight to Heaven
9. Creed - Original Cologne
10. Clive Christian - 1872 for Men
I think it satisfies a particular taste/mood that unfortunately I rarely ever attain. Once in a blue moon at best.
Hi, I'm William | My Swap Thread
Update: Just went and looked at the reviews for LIDGE.
57 positive... 4 neutral.... 2 negative
That's impressive. You don't get much higher ratio of good to bad than that. Maybe there is something to this juice.

It's amazing.
A wonderful scent for sure.
I have a swap going for LIDGE right now. It's a blind swap for me, because I've never smelled it.
I figured with all of the hype, it must be something great. Does it compare in any way to A*Men? I'm not big on gourmand scents and I didn't like A*Men.

On of the better and less generic gourmands available, especially in today's fragrance market.

I didn't like it after testing it on my skin numerous times. Then, I fell in love with it after finally giving it a full wearing to work two winter seasons ago.
Just sniffed the one out for the first time a few days ago and i must say this is by far my favorite cocoa-gourmand scent. Nothing compares to me, not even DHI
I love it. Thank goodness it is easily (and cheaply) available in the UK.
Like it a lot.
"As you walk down the fairway of life you must smell the roses, for you only get to play one round."
--Ben Hogan
I like it a lot, but somehow I don't feel compelled to buy a full bottle.
One of my favorites! Only needs one good spray to the chest to last most of the day, and the drydown has such a natural, beautiful cocoa. Not too sweet, but just sweet enough. One of my wife and I's favorite drydowns ever! I'll agree that it's not extremely versatile, however, as I couldn't bring myself to wear this unless it's cold outside. Is it a masterpiece, or worthy of being considered one of the "greats"? That's a pretty subjective term, I suppose, but in my experience and opinion, it definitely deserves that consideration and I believe it is.
I would certainly come in my top best. But surely wouldn't beat the top 5.
I feel somewhat acronymistic towards this scent.
I hate to say this with so much fanatic love behind it, but it is a cloying fragrance. The day I wore this I could not wait to go home and change out of my work attire.
Agree. Made with quality ingredients but cloying and syrupy on me. Just like New Haarlem.
Are you not entertained??? Is this not why you are here??
My current top ten:
1. Spice and Wood
2. Tonka Imperiale
3. Dior Homme
4. Pure Malt
5. Oud Wood
6. Ambre Nuit
7. L'air Du Desert Marocain
8. Noir de Noir
9. Apple Brandy
10.Straight to Heaven
Quite nice fragrance. I enjoy it. I really noticed how much I liked it during my last wearing
Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille Creed Silver Mountain Water Creed Millesime Imperial
Gucci Pour Homme II YSL La Nuit de L'homme Versace The Dreamer
Burberry London YSL L'homme L'occitane Eau Des Baux
Best thing about LIDGE is that its PERFECTLY BALANCED.
Just right amound of sweet, woody and floral (to make it different and sophisticated) notes with good projection and above average longevity.
TOP 3 hot weather:
1. Gucci Pour Homme II
2. Lalique Encre Noire
3. Creed Millesime Imperial
TOP 3 cold weather:
1. Dior Homme
2. Eau Des Baux
3. L'Instant de Guerlain Pour Homme Extreme
Seen as i've found this particular scent almost impossible to find anywhere to sample it I blind bought a bottle from strawberrynet last night, wasn't a bad deal with their 10% off sale at the moment. Got an email saying it's shipped already so i'm looking forward to trying it out in a week or so and comparing it to my DHI
Fubar - did you get the Extreme version, or regular L'Instant de Guerlain?
I ask as LIDG is always on StrawberryNet to buy, but LIDGE only pops up in very limited quantities once every so often.
Just because 53 liked it and 2 didn't.
SAMPLE FIRST, you might be number 3 on the didn't list.
Your nostrils, which will dilate immesurably in unspeakable contentment, in motionless ecstasy, will ask nothing better for space, for they will be full of fragrance, as if perfumes and incense; for they will be glutted with complete happiness, like angels who dwell in the peace and magnificence of pleasent heaven.
(From Maldoror by Comte de Lautreamont)
I got LIDGE. I went on there last night after hearing they had 10% all fragrances and as it was something I was keen on trying I always look to see if they have it in stock, I think I got the second last or last bottle because after placing my order it was gone again not long after. This from the conformation email
Guerlain: - L'Instant de Guerlain Extreme Eau De Parfum Spray 75ml/2.5oz 1
I would have liked to sample it but haven't been able to find it anywhere and given the price I paid I'm not too concerned. If I don't like it i'm sure i'd be able to get rid of it, but it seems right up my alley so I doubt it will be going anywhere once I get my hands on it
Oh good man - glad you scored a bottle.
It is very good juice, I doubt you'll be disappointed, especially once the mercury starts to drop.
I got a sample of this, for some reason, it doesn't last on me, became a skin scent w in 2 hours. I'm not sure if I got a bad sample or not
Excellent scent. Long lasting, and unique. It's worth every penny at retail.
However, i don't think its worth the price some are willing to pay for it.
