Romney's private-sector approach to government includes realigning pay, downsizing workforce
Tuesday - 9/4/2012, 3:59pm EDT
It's no secret Republican Presidential Candidate Mitt Romney envisions broad changes to the federal government and its workforce.
Many of his supporters hope the former governor and business executive will bring his private-sector experience with him to the White House and run the government like a business.
"I will look to
sharply increase
the productivity
of Washington "
— Mitt Romney
In campaign speeches, Romney speaks of aligning federal pay with that of the private sector. "Federal compensation exceeds private sector levels by as much as 30 to 40 percent when benefits are taken into account," his campaign website states. "This must be corrected."
Shortly after clinching the GOP nomination, he promised to "stop the unfairness of government workers getting better pay and benefits than the taxpayers they serve."
Just this week, speaking before the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, Romney provided more specifics on his plan for scaling back the federal government and the workforce it employs.
$500 billion workforce, program cuts
He described a multi-pronged approach to balancing the budget by "eliminating programs that are not absolutely essential" and returning authority for some programs to the states.
|Romney's proposals
Align federal employee compensation with the private sector
Reduce federal workforce by 10 percent through attrition
Reduce waste, fraud and abuse — including cutting improper payments
Combine agencies and departments to reduce overhead
Romney also said he would "look to sharply increase the productivity of Washington" by:
- Reducing the federal workforce by 10 percent thorough attrition, hiring only one new federal employee for every two that leave the ranks of the civil service and realigning federal compensation
- "Cracking down" on the $115 billion the government wastes on improper payments
- Combining federal agencies and departments
All told, Romney said his proposals would save $500 billion annually by the end of his first term.
In broader budget terms, Romney has vowed to cap federal spending at 20 percent of GDP and said he plans to seek a 5 percent cut in nonsecurity discretionary spending starting with his first day in office.
Targeting unions?
A few days after that speech, video of a private fundraising event from May surfaced, in which Romney suggested federal unions could hamper his efforts to downsize the workforce.
At the event, a man recommended Romney "clean house" at the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, two financial regulatory agencies, which the questioner called "disaster areas."
"I wish they weren't unionized, so we could go a lot deeper than you're actually allowed to go," Romney replied, ostensibly referring to job cuts.
"We will stop the
unfairness of
government workers
getting better pay and
benefits than the
taxpayers they serve "
— Mitt Romney
Naturally, federal unions jumped on those comments.
William Dougan, the president of the National Federation of Federal Employees, said Romney's recent comments "set a disturbing precedent for what may befall the federal workforce if Romney were to be elected President." Romney's comments point to a "governing philosophy that ignores the vast contributions federal workers make to their country every day," Dougan said in an emailed comment.
In an email statement to Federal News Radio, the Romney campaign did not address how their candidate would manage the federal workforce if elected President.
"Mitt Romney has spent his career executing turnarounds in the private sector, the Olympics, and state government," the statement read in part. "He will bring to Washington the turnaround philosophy it so badly needs."
Party platform, VP pick also provide signals
Last month at the Republican National Convention, party officials unveiled their platform, which echoed Romney's call for a smaller federal workforce through attrition.
Even earlier, Romney's selection of House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) as his running mate, provided hints of how a Romney administration would handle the federal workforce.
Ryan's most recent budget proposal called for extending the current two-year pay freeze through 2015 and requiring federal workers to contribute more toward their retirements, which would have the effect of cutting take-home pay.
Unions have decried the talk of extended pay freezes and workforce cuts, saying too often federal pay and benefits are treated as a piggybank in deficit-reduction efforts.
"The stakes are very high when it comes to maintaining a well-trained and capable federal workforce, said American Federation of Government Employees President J. David Cox at a Senate committee hearing on the federal workforce this week. Freezing salaries and "bullying us with nasty comments about our work and work ethic" doesn't help, Cox added.
Federal News Radio also examines what a second term for President Obama would mean for federal employees. Read the story.

DefinitionTimeout after which the container start/stop is deemed failed
Cargo has a timeout for container start and stop operations. If the time taken to start/stop a container exceeds the timeout period the operations is considered failed and the container is then set in the unknown state.
The default timeout value is 2 minutes (120000 milliseconds). This value can be modified as shown below.
Example using the Java API
Example using the Maven 2 plugin
Disabling timeout
If you set the timeout to
0, CARGO will not wait for the container to start or stop.
Using different timeouts when starting and stopping the container
Shutdown usually takes much much shorther than startup, it therefore often makes sense to use a shorter timeout for stopping the container than for starting it. With the Cargo Maven2 plugin, this is easy to do: indeed, in each
<execution> block of the Maven2 plugin, you can have different
<configuration> blocks. When done so, the plugin will use an inheritance scheme; i.e. for each execution the outermost configuration elements will be overriden by innermost elements each time these are defined.
Here is an example that uses different timeouts when starting and stopping the container:

In July 2009, a special little dog with big brown eyes was found abandoned in a box outside Angels for Animals Animal Center in Canfield, Ohio, a participant in the 2011 ASPCA $100K Challenge. She was alone and in desperate need of a loving home. Luckily, Elizabeth Stark's family decided to adopt the homeless pup and give her a fresh start.
They chose to call her Chooey, a name they picked to commemorate this sweet dog's endearing snaggletooth. Elizabeth's family also thought Chooey's shiny blonde coat gave her a stylish look, so they adapted the spelling of her name to match the famed shoe designer, Jimmy Choo. One of Chooey's favorite past times is to chew on her pet parents' shoes, so the name is very fitting.
It didn't take long before the Starks were head over heels for their furry new addition.
"How could anyone not enjoy the company of such a sweet little companion?" Elizabeth says. "Chooey is unlike any other dog I have ever encountered. Sometimes I'm not even sure if she is really a dog. She stretches like a cat, howls like a wolf, dances like a monkey, and smiles like a toddler."
But whatever animal personality Chooey chooses, she is an energetic and steadfast companion.
"Sometimes the best things really do come in small packages—and they're covered with fur and filled with love," Elizabeth says.

I can't imagine life without any of our three. Harley was our first, we adopted her (with the name... even though it's a strange one for a cocker spaniel) from the SPCA when she was 3 and a half. She was an anonymous surrender. She had social issues that we continued to work on, but realized that it might help her to have a sibling. We finally adopted Spudnik a year later as an eight week old puppy. He was surrendered by a breeder when a pug got in with her tibetan spaniel females and resulted in a couple of mixed litters. He was just what Harley needed. We thought our little family was complete, but a year later we were researching tibetan spaniels, trying to figure out what aspects of his personality fit with each breed, when we stumbled upon a Petfinder listing for a pug / tibbie mix. The pup looked EXACTLY like our Spud. We contacted the rescue organization and it turned out to be Spud's sister who was returned to the shelter because she was too rough. We knew we could provide the perfect home for Daisy. Now, we can't imagine our lives without any one of them, and they get upset when we have to separate any of them. A couple of years ago, Harley had a major health scare and almost died... she had to have a 4 hour surgery to remove a 4 pound mass from her abdomen, including a splenectomy. The mass was so entwined with her major organs that the vet told us not to expect much... he even confessed later that he almost made the call that he'd have to put her to sleep on the table, but decided to give it one more shot and it was like everything opened up. It was the most stressful period of our lives, and the tugs (as we call them) were as depressed as we were when she didn't come home. We were all so happy to bring her home after all of that, and the other two pups were SO happy to see their sister. We love our rescue pups, and treat them like our children. We don't understand how anyone could have possibly surrendered Harley or Daisy, because they are the sweetest, most loving dogs and everyone who meets them wants to take them home, but we are so happy that we got the chance to make them a part of our family.
i feed all the animals that stop by my porch every night. most are feral but every once in a while i meet a dog or cat who is clearly domesticated. when this is the case, i either find a no-kill shelter with space for them or i find them homes myself. one such domesticated cat began to spend all her time in my backyard. i called her vice president bitsy (because she always has something to say). i asked around the neighborhood to see if perhaps she belonged to someone. she did. some college girls a few doors down said she was theirs and verified that she was spayed. well, the vice president continued to spend all her time in my yard and i just assumed that my cat food was tastier or she got more attention from me and my family. i loved driving into my garage after getting off work and seeing bitsy race in after me meowing and purring. a month passed like this and the weather started to get really cold and rainy but bitsy was ALWAYS outside. i hated it. i stressed over it. finally i went and knocked on my neighbor's door to see if maybe they couldn't keep her in when the weather was terrible. THEY HAD MOVED! they unabashedly abandoned my sweet vice president. so i took bitsy to the vet and made sure her shots were updated and she didn't have any contagious diseases before i added her to my family of 5 other inside kitties. she was healthy except for some severe dental disease. my vet fixed her up though and finally she came home (minus a few teeth). she has been a loving and essential part of my family for the last year. i am glad those girls left her because now i have the most amazing cat!
My daughter and I went to the shelter to try to get this particular dog we had seen online. When we got there another family had taken him first. A little down we were about to leave when one of the worker asked if we would like to see a cocker spaniel. We said sure, and we took him for a walk. We fell in love with him. We took Jake home that afternoon in January of 2012. As we left the shelter I told my daughter that I believe that fate is what led us to Jake. He has been such a comfort to my entire family. My father became ill shortly after we got Jake, and this little dog seemed to know that my dad needed him. He was always by his side. My mother spoiled her new "grandson" to thank him, but also because she loved him too. Then my mother became terminally ill. Jake was there for her this time, but always managed to make sure all of us were ok. My mother passed away in July. Jake comforted all of us, but we could see he was mourning too. I let him have something of hers and he seemed better. Now once again my father is ill, but his little buddy Jake is right back at his side. He has not forgotten that my daughter and I are his number one priority though. What a true blessing this little guy has been to all of us. I can't thank the shelter enough for what they have given us. Of course I did bring Jake back to say hello to them. I had him carry a donation to the woman that recommended Jake to us.
A few years back my wife and I "adopted" a little mutt that walked up to our place in the country. We have always had cats (indoors) and had a Himalayan already inside. But this amazing & precious little dog captured our hearts. She was an adult and had obviously already given birth to a couple of litters. We took her to the vet and had her checked out. She had a bad case of worms and our vet wasn't sure she would live. But she did and we then had her "fixed" and kept her indoors as well.
She always seemed to favor me (according to my wife), maybe because I usually walked her and talked to her. In fact I could barely make a move without her follwoing after me. If I laid down for a nap she would lie down either on the bed or right next to it.
We moved to Missouri a few yaars later and took her with us of course. Then after having her for around five years she became ill and we had to have her put to sleep. Her kidneys were failing and it was breaking our hearts. Though I am normally a cat person this little mutt (we named Missy) has forever changed me. Never have I enjoyed or felt this much love and devotion from an animal. There is no grander feeling than coming home and having a dog (or cat) come running toward you excitedly!
Missy gave us five amazing years of love, devotion and memories to last a lifetime. Someday I trust we'll be reunited and I'm sure she'll come running as I enter the Pearly Gates!
How sad...the response y'all gave her...i thought animal lovers were more compassionate than everyone else...i guess not. Y'all just leave her alone...dont judge her...besides u dont know the whole story...sometimes things happen beyond our control...OMG I may not be coming back here again...bunch of bullies!
It's always nice when they're adopted, but I have to point out that at least someone left the dog outside a shelter. Out of the 4 I have right now, 2 were drop offs, one was a "rescue" and we just adopted a senior yellow lab who was found wandering on a deserted mountain road, skin and bones, horrible skin infection, hair falling out, cataracts, missing front teeth...if only his previous owner had done the responsible thing and taken him to a shelter. So let's at least give a little praise for the effort of someone to give the dog a chance at the shelter.
God bless the family that rescued this adorable dog!!!! And I wish curses and curses on the family that just tossed this dog out....with all the rescue services available, those people need to be shot!!!!
If you think Wanda`s story is amazing..., last week my auntie's boy friend also made the small fortune of $9773 working 10 hours a week at home and the're friend's step-aunt`s neighbour has done this for four months and got more than $9773 in there spare time from a laptop. applie the advice on this site... FAB33.COM
In the name of all that is good and holy, PLEASE tell me that someone is going to investigate this dog's situation. It seems quite evident that the writer of the original post is a child so who knows what's actually going on, but REALLY??? It's incomprehensible to me that an ASPCA blog can print this and not follow up on the welfare of this dog.

The Kent State University Museum opens UNDRESS: Shaping Fashion and Private LifePosted Sep. 7, 2012
The Kent State University Museum presents Undress: Shaping Fashion and Private Life in the Broadbent Gallery Sept. 28, 2012 through Sept. 1, 2013. An opening reception for the exhibition will be held Thurs., Sept. 27 from 6-8 p.m. in the Gerald L. Schweigert Library on the second floor of the Museum. RSVP to 330-672-3450 to attend.
The Kent State University Museum is located at 515 Hilltop Drive, and is open to the public Wed., Fri. and Sat. 10 a.m. to 4:45 p.m.; Thurs. 10 a.m. to 8:45 p.m.; and Sun. noon to 4:45 p.m.
Undress: Shaping Fashion and Private Life examines fashion and culture from the pieces that give shape to the style. The exhibition spans fashion periods from the 18th century to Spanx with examples of corsetry, nightwear and loungewear, including a collection of Katharine Hepburn's personal lingerie.
Museum Director Jean L. Druesedow writes, "The defining characteristic of any fashion period is the shape of the silhouette. Shape is largely determined by what is worn underneath the fashionable garment and next to the skin."
The silhouettes of a period are very much influenced by the attitudes of the time, in terms of economic, political, social and sexual issues, and so there is much to learn from these shape-giving garments worn underneath fashion and in the privacy of the home.
Admission to the Kent State University Museum is $5 for adults, $4 for seniors and $3 for children under 18. The museum is free with a Kent State University ID and free to the public on Sundays. The museum also offers free parking. For more information call 330-672-3450 or visit www.kent.edu/museum.
Opened to the public in October 1985, the Kent State University Museum was founded with an initial contribution from New York dress manufacturers Jerry Silverman and Shannon Rodgers. Their gift included 4,000 costumes and accessories, nearly 1,000 pieces of decorative art and a 5,000-volume reference library. In the 1960s, Shannon Rodgers began collecting what is now considered one of the finest period costume collections in the United States, today totaling more than 40,000 pieces. The Tarter/Miller collection of some 10,000 pieces of glass formed the second major gift to the Museum. Together with the other decorative arts collected by Rodgers and Silverman, the Museum holds one of the most comprehensive teaching collections of fashionable design from the 18th century to the present.
The museum receives support from an Ohio Arts Council Sustainability Grant.

X Series JAWS Chrome Wedges
Product Overview
These wedges designed by master craftsman Roger Cleveland produce maximum spin and versatility for the short game while providing tour-level feel from soft forged carbon steel.

- Each wedge is available in either the Soft Milky Chrome finish. Golfers can also choose steel or graphite shafts.

Detroit News
Washington — The Environmental Protection Agency on Friday rejected a request from eight governors and nearly 200 members of Congress to waive requirements for the use of corn-based ethanol in gasoline, after last summer's severe drought wilted much of the nation's corn crop.The move is a victory for corn farmers who have seen corn prices jump 400 percent in recent years. But it is a loss for pork and beef producers who say the diversion of corn to ethanol raises feed prices and ultimately prices at the supermarket.Automakers have clashed with ethanol advocates and opposed boosting the percentage of ethanol. They argue that higher concentrations of ethanol in gasoline — which may be necessary in order to meet stepped-up minimums for annual ethanol usage — can harm engines in most vehic

SALISBURY, N.C. - Pfeiffer University dropped a pair of swim decision at conference rival Catawba on Saturday afternoon at the Johnson Poll. Catawba's women defeated the Lady Falcons 161-101 while the Indian men notched a 157-105 victory.
Pfeiffer started the day with four-straight second and third place finishes in the 200-yard medley relay and 1,000-yard freestyle in both the men's and women's events. Elijah Bohon scored the first of his two individual wins in the 100-yard backstroke before doing the same later in the 200 back.
The Lady Falcons secured their win of the afternoon in the 800-yard freestyle relay as Vicky Miller, Morgan Dionne, Kimberly Eurillo and Randi Bryden out-touched Catawba by more than eight seconds.
Pfeiffer would conclude the Catawba afternoon with a combined 40 top-three finishes on the day over the 28-event meet.
Saturday wrapped up the fall portion of the swim schedule as the Falcons are back in action on Friday, January 6th during the annual winter trip to Florida. Pfeiffer will swim at St. Leo with Lake Erie joining in on the fun.

From B2B Hype to Reality
For once hype could be a good thing. Well it is if you're reading the latest Gartner – Hype Cycle for Application Infrastructure published last month, in July; because in it you will see how two important technology trends – the areas of BGS (sorry, another TLA for you to learn – B2B Gateway Software (and it's even a nested TLA!)), and Managed File Transfer (MFT) have now made it out of the Trough of Disillusionment and up onto the Slope of Enlightenment. Why do I suddenly feel like John Bunyan's Pilgrim?
Anyway, the key points that Gartner identifies are that centrally managing B2B interactions provides:
- Economies of scale and deeper insight into the technical aspects of data integration, transaction delivery, process integration and SOA interoperability, such as consolidating, tracking, storing and auditing files, messages, process events, acknowledgments, receipts, and errors and exceptions.
The B2B communications process with your external business partners, suppliers, etc. is not a static process and you need to be able to have visibility of these communications for not only regulatory compliance and auditability issues but also to manage the dynamic process.
- A single point through which to troubleshoot B2B integration issues.
B2B Gateways are now a mature technology and like standards most organisations use a number of them. Integrating them provides significant benefit and enables the organisation to have visibility of their business relationships and transactions and also know where to go to when things go wrong and need managing as they definitely will.
- A central, reusable repository for external business partner profiles and Web services APIs. This is particularly valuable when dealing with a large number of external business partners and cloud APIs, and when multiple business units interact with the same partners or cloud services.
The number of business partners we all have to deal with is increasing rapidly as we outsource, subcontract, farm-out and generally rely more on external specialist organisations. Having visibility of these relationships and making the most from new integration methodologies and processes can generate great savings and also give visibility of our business exposure to these suppliers.
- Support for the myriad data formats, transport and communication protocols, and security standards.
As the old saying goes "I love standards, there are so many to choose from." Well our business processes are not getting any simpler; data standards are under constant change and revision with data formats becoming increasingly complex. So to be able to handle not just a few but all key formats and to be able to reuse previous transformation experience, utilise already developed libraries and lever new complex hierarchical data structures makes the difference between a stove-piped and soon to be redundant system and one that is flexible and supports new and ever changing business requirements.
As one of the vendors identified that can actively compete with offerings positioned to address the broader set of usage scenarios, Informatica's B2B Data Exchange solution not only supports the B2B functional requirements an organisation will have but also integrates this process and data into the wider internal data integration platform and management process. (Look at this presentation for the new 9.5 functionality of key new featues.)
So now the reality not hype of B2B solutions can be delivered.

ARLINGTON, Texas – He came to the microphone in the postgame interview room Friday, his eyes weary, his ears probably ringing, his curly red hair matted with sweat and his legs dripping from slings of ice.
Angels slugger Josh Hamilton looked like a man who had been worked over. By 48,845 people.
Wait, it was 48,845 minus his Angels teammates, who patted him on the back for encouragement; a few Angels fans, who tried to be heard over the unrelenting boos; his wife, Katie, who had to call in stadium security; and three of his four young daughters, who had to cover their ears because their hometown had turned on their daddy.
For five seasons, Hamilton had been a beloved Texas Ranger, a five-time All-Star, a 2010 AL MVP, a driving force behind the 2010 and 2011 World Series campaigns and an inspiration for recovering drug addicts, Christians and anyone who ever needed a second chance.
But, in his first game back at Rangers Ballpark since signing with the AL West archrival Angels, Hamilton was far from being warmly welcomed back.
No. 32 had become Public Enemy No. 1.
"I'd lie to you if I said it didn't bother me a little bit, but it didn't overwhelm me to (the point of) ... 'Get me out of the lineup. I can't stand it,'" Hamilton said after the game.
The stadium shook with five stories of lusty boos when he was introduced, when he came to bat and when he got near the ball in right field. Some fans attempted the more peaceful protest, Silence4Josh, but quickly joined the crass chorus.
A few fans wore Hamilton's No. 32 Rangers jersey with custom changes, such as a duct-taped "X" across the back, "Traitor" in black tape where "Hamilton" used to be, or David Warhoftig's retooled "HamBUM" jersey.
"I used to love the guy but I can't believe he ended the season the way he did, left the way he did and went where he did," said Warhoftig, 43, of Frisco, Texas. "He could've gone anywhere but the Angels."
Warhoftig booed Hamilton at every opportunity. So did Nancy Carson, 72, a grandmother who was waving a "Josh Who Cares?" sign.
They also cheered when Hamilton whiffed the first time and every time after in his miserable 0-for-4 day. The whole stadium did.
The display was mean-spirited and loud and so much more primal than the celebrations the crowd had when Adrian Beltre belted a solo home run in the seventh inning or when the Rangers' locked up the 3-2 victory.
"It probably hurts a little bit more to know that people would just turn that quickly," said Hamilton, somberly.
He looked shell-shocked after the game, a stark contrast to the quick-stepping, black-Ostrich-boots-wearing Hamilton who arrived in the morning, full of confidence, jokes and smiles.
Before the game, Hamilton, who makes his permanent residence in the Dallas suburb of Westlake, had embraces for the clubbies, the ushers, the security guards whom he remembered even though he was completely unfamiliar with being in the visitors clubhouse or coming out of the visitors dugout.

Comments about Paula Young Emerald Wig by Joan Collins:
I wear this every day, although I have several other wigs. This one feels like me and looks like me. I trimmed it some because it is very long in the front, but I have always cut my own hair and did this the same way. I began receiving compliments the first day -- and every day since! I love this wig in vibrant gray. My hairstylist daughter says I look ten years younger!!!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I got this wig in 50-60H color and the blend of color is beautiful. I will be wearing it everyday waiting for my hair color to grow off, it is a perfect match to my natural hair color. I like it so much that I am sure that it will be a nice back up after my natural hair has grown out. I am very pleased with this purchase.

I LOVE this wig! It is adorable. I wear it daily and get soooo many compliments! Wore it on vacation, to the ocean, in the ocean! Played in the waves in the ocean. The ONLY time it came off was when I wasn't watching and a wave hit me from behind. I quickly grabbed it a put it back on and no one was even aware! Was worried if the salt water might harm it, it did not! Washed it everyday after coming in from the beach, dried it with very light heat from hair dryer at a distance and wore it in the evenings. It is so incredible, so cute, so durable and adorable! Love the color I got - Cappucino JC13 and love the style! PERFECT!!!

Introduction to myopia
Myopia (or nearsightedness) affects 20% to 30% of the population, but this eye disorder is easily corrected with eyeglasses, contact lenses or surgery.
People who have myopia or nearsightedness have difficulty seeing distant objects, but can see objects that are near clearly. For example, a person who is nearsighted may not be able to make out highway signs until they are just a few feet away.
What Causes Myopia?
People who are nearsighted have what is called a refractive error. This means that the light rays bend incorrectly into the eye to transmit images to the brain. In people with myopia, the eyeball is too long or the cornea has too much curvature, so the light entering the eye is not focused correctly. Light rays of images focus in front of the retina, the light-sensitive part of the eye, rather than directly on the retina, causing blurred vision.
Myopia runs in families and usually appears in childhood. Sometimes the condition plateaus, or sometimes it worsens with age.
What Are the Symptoms of Myopia?
Reader Stories
People who are nearsighted often complain of headaches, eyestrain, squinting or fatigue when driving, playing sports, or looking more than a few feet away.
How Is Myopia Diagnosed?
Myopia can be easily diagnosed using standard eye exams given by an eye doctor.
How Is Myopia Treated?
Glasses, contact lenses, or refractive surgery can correct myopia.
With myopia, your prescription for glasses or contact lens is a negative number, such as -3.00. The higher the number, the stronger your lenses will be.
Refractive surgery can reduce or even eliminate your dependence on glasses or contact lenses. The most common procedures for myopia are performed with a laser, including:

Limestone Wins Battle of Nation's Top-10 Teams Scoring 12-10 Win over Men's Lacrosse
April 13, 2013
MISENHEIMER, N.C. A late burst to end the first half and start the second would send third-ranked Limestone to a 12-10 victory over tenth-ranked Pfeiffer University in Conference Carolinas mens lacrosse action on Saturday afternoon. The Saints improve to 14-1 overall, 7-0 in league play capturing the regular season title while also dropping the Falcons to 12-2, 4-2.
Limestone put home the games first goal 38 seconds into the contest as Zach Cummings (Crownsville, MD) put the Saints up one. Pfeiffer would then reel off the next four-in-a-row to grab a three-goal lead. Steven Tilmon (Orlando, FL) started the scoring for the Falcons while Mike Triolo (Toronto, ONTARIO) gave the hosts a 2-1 at the 9:25 mark of the first. After Matt Michaeli (Draper, UT) and James Shepherd (St. John, NEW BRUNSWICK) made it a 4-1 game, Riley Loewen (Burnaby, BRITISH COLUMBIA) halted the run with 5:32 left in the period.
Tilmon would again nearly two minutes later to give the Falcons a 5-2 lead before the Saints closed out the quarter with Reid Reinholdt (Port Moody, BRITISH COLUMBIA) and Todd Nakasuji (Ajax, ONTARIO) strikes for a 5-4 Pfeiffer lead after the first 15 minutes.
In the second, Reinholdt would strike again to even the contest with 9:51 to play before Tilmon again put the Falcons on top with his third of the day with 6:47 remaining. Tor Reinholdt (Port Moody, BRITISH COLUMBIA) and Elliot Gilbert (Corning, NY) traded goals for both sides for a 7-6 lead for the Falcons until Corey Rich (Sacramento, CA) and Jake Ternosky (LaFayette, NY) gave the Saints an 8-7 halftime lead.
Tor Reinholdt start the second half scoring with an unassisted goal to put the Saints up two until Gilbert responded to send it back to a one-goal game. Loewen would then push momentum all over to Limestone with back-to-back goals three-and-a-half minutes apart to put Limestone up three. James Shepherd (St. John, NEW BRUNSWICK) and Kory Lutes (Orlando, FL) would try to make things interesting towards the end, but a final Rich goal before Lutes strike sealed the deal for the Saints.
Pfeiffer gets back to action next weekend as the #2 seed in the Conference Carolinas tournament. Semifinal action will begin on Friday with the two winners meeting in Sundays championship tilt.

iMac 27" advice
Sold my Air 11" which sat plugged in to an ugly HP monitor 24/7 in order to upgrade to an iMac. I am really low on cash but could stretch it if I can find a real good reason too. I can't decide between:
- Entry level 27" + 1TB Fusion Drive
- High end 27" flat
- Entry level 27" flat, and use that extra cash on food and unforeseen bills
I am a heavy app user and usually leave everything running until done (lots of tabs and apps simultaneously, rarely will I reboot (relying on sleep mode). I plan on doing video editing but don't know if it will be realized this year or not - it will not be the iMacs first use. I will be using xcode, coda, photoshop, pages, numbers, iTunes, Sibelius, garageband, logic and the occasional game mostly.
I hate when a computer drags itself along but realize that maxing everything is not an option for my economy so the real question is: will fusion drive snap things up more than the base high end 27" in relation to it's value in spent cash? Is it worth stretching for the FD and if so will it be thrashed when editing 2-4k video eventually - will I be better off saving for an external ssd?
So many questions, so little money. Thanks in advance!
P.S. Also do anyone know if adding a FD makes it a "special order" therefore delaying delivery? If I can get it faster that would help my studies (I'm taking the leap changing computers at the start of a new term).
|Jan 31, 2013, 12:16 PM
That is some impressive cash stretching from a sale of a MBA 11 to the purchase of a new iMac. You might want to strike some middle ground between the base model and high end to get a config with a SSD. You can always add memory later. Make sure you budget for AC. Good luck!
|Jan 31, 2013, 02:07 PM
The iMac 27" is not something you buy if you're lacking money.
ResExcellence - Serving Apple-related goodness since 1997.
|Jan 31, 2013, 03:24 PM
Also, don't get the Fusion Drive if you're doing anything with large files, like video editing. I'm a videographer, and I had a new 27" iMac with 3TB Fusion Drive that I had to send back and get the conventional 3TB drive iMac instead.
If you use large files with the Fusion Drive, the SSD part fills up and doesn't transfer the remaining data to the HDD part. I was editing a 75GB project when a system error message popped up saying that the drive is full, and asked if I wanted to force quit the application (there was no choice to continue).
|Jan 31, 2013, 05:50 PM
What I am going with
I am still saving towards my 27 inch purchase, won't be making the purchase until about November. Waiting for Haswell, hopefully better GPU and just wishful thinking that the Fusion drive will become a part of the standard pricing across all models without the $250 premium.
My purchase will be the base model with fusion drive because that is in my budget. I will also be purchasing a iPad 5 if and when it comes out. I plan to also max out the RAM to 32 GB.
I would have settled for standard mechanical drive configuration, but after a year of using an SSD on a HP Z210, I honestly cannot go back to HDD. Its fast. I also saw a review video of the new iMac with a 3TB FD, 32 GBs of RAM and the system boots in about 4 to 5 seconds.

|Feb 1, 2013, 03:59 AM
You should definitely get the fusion drive - given your described usage. And it will be fine for light video editing.
If you get to the stage where you're working with large video files you should be using an external fast (raid preferably) drive anyway - any pro would do this.

I can't recommend the new 27' iMacs highly enough. It's fast, powerful and gorgeous. I imagine if you're an intensive user then you can get away with a RAM upgrade instead of going for the higher CPU and GPU.
Find a way to get it, you'll love it.

Thanks for the help everyone!
Yes it's definitely a stretch getting the 27". I ended up on the short end of the stick selling the air too, but I just couldn't work with it - too flimsy for my lifestyle it would have looked like a strip of bacon in months'. So I threw in some savings ontop, and worked some extra shifts during christmas to get the money.
Went with the low end 27" 2.9 GHz with fusion drive. Having doubts everyday if I should have taken the high end with 675MX instead, but I think I'll put the money towards an external backup drive instead.
It's tricky, I'm really tight on cash but $200 ontop of $2050 doesn't feel like that much of a stretch
I reccon I can do light editing with it and when the day comes for the next movie we'll have enough cash for a Mac Pro, in which case I can use the 27" as a display.
P.S. Its a philosophical question as well as I always end up maxing everything on everything, or buying the most expensive thing, then having a hard time utilizing everything until the next os, or system comes along that makes what I have the new low end. This is the first time I haven't maxed everything actually.

フォトグラファー、フィリップ・ジャーミンの受賞作になったLotto649向けの広告キャンペーンは才能豊かな彫刻家、模型製作者、画家、グラフィックアーティストのチームと共に、"カメラによる" 撮影でまさに息を吹き込まれたものになりました。
Where did it all start for you as a photographer? I started working in the film industry right after high school, followed by attending Film School in Vancouver. I spent about eight years lighting feature films and episodic television. I had always loved story telling but I was also a very technically minded person. The film industry was a wonderful combina- tion of the two.
After about eight years the sixteen-hour long workdays, five days a week, caught up with me and I was ready for a more mellow pursuit.
I transitioned into working as a photographer but I really struggled with it. After the excitement of working with experienced crews on large productions I simply didn't enjoy shooting photographs on my own.
Then, when I had the opportunity to shoot a couple of fashion campaigns for a small eyewear company and it gave me the chance to work with a crew: a producer, an art director, hair, make-up, wardrobe, photography assistants and a retoucher, everything changed. This collaborative approach and the opportunity to tell a story through photographs was exactly what I had been missing. It was truly fun and I realized that I needed to work on larger productions that required complex logistics.
Shortly after these projects I had the chance to work on a conceptual ad shoot for DDB and I realized that this was my path. The same logistics and challenges of motion pictures, however without the epic long work days.
How do you see yourself as a photographer today?Today I mainly shoot conceptual advertising. An art director presents me with a sketch of a concept and it is my job to execute it in the best possible way.
I am based in Vancouver but am spending more and more time working in Toronto with a production company, Kith and Kin. Toronto is fast becoming a strong market with larger, more complex projects and this is what I enjoy.
Tell us about the Lotto 649 project.For the Lotto 649 project, the art directors, Chris Moore and John Larigakis of DDB Vancouver had come up with a brilliant concept. At first we thought it would be mostly post-intensive (computer graphics [CG] or retouching) so we approached Christophe Huett at Paris Asile, who does incredibly beautiful and complex work. Christophe suggested that in order to keep that photographic feel, we should work with model builders as opposed to CG artists. Vancouver being a large production center for feature films has some very tal- ented model builders. Most of this project was about collaborating with these sculptors, modelers and painters. The props you see in these Lotto 649 images were mostly captured in camera. The debris was shot on tabletop with an Arca-Swiss M-Monolith and a P65+ digital back. The props were shot against a set wall with a Phase One 645DF camera, Schneider lenses and the same P65+.
The images had a snap and contrast to them straight out of camera that was really exciting. The debris was small so depth of field was a challenge. Using the M-Monolith view camera we were able to use extreme tilts and shifts to capture really crisp shots. The plates of the debris were beautiful. The end usage would be billboards so we needed the resolution of the P65+. It also provided really clean files for the retoucher - Christophe. Straight away when shooting for super wide billboards at extreme aspect ratios, 2:1 or 3:1, we have to shoot wide and crop in severely. A DSLR would have had to involve stitching to achieve the necessary resolution.
I try to limit my time on the computer to an absolute minimum so my challenge is to capture as much as I can "in camera". It's the approach I learned from motion pictures and it is a much nicer process, in my opinion. After all, my skills are lighting, taking pictures and managing a crew. It's my responsibility to collaborate effectively with my team and capture the best images possible for my retoucher to work with.
This project was a true collaboration and such a pleasure to work on. The campaign did well in award shows and made it into a number of publications including Lürzer's Archive, which is always a nice recognition.
You recently made the switch from the P65+ to the IQ260, how has that worked out for you?
Even though the two digital backs have the same resolution, I feel the quality of the IQ260 is superior. The images are more punchy, it is as if there is more contrast and greater details in them. I am very happy I made the transition.

The S&P 500 traced an outside reversal pattern to the downside yesterday. The last instance of such an event occurred on August 1 which preceded a near 16% drop in the blue chip index just six trading sessions later. I suppose this does not instill any confidence in investors going into Ben Bernanke's highly anticipated Jackson Hole speech, but I will assuage those fearful of another leg down in equities by arguing that the fundamentals will always trump the technicals if the former has enough direct influence on the broader market. Certainly, this morning's speech qualifies as such an externality.
I am not predicting that whatever spews from the Chairman's mouth will send stocks soaring, for current mainstream consensus has forecasted a likely sell off. Perhaps, traders already booked Continue reading »

Chinese Herbal Medicine Treatment for Idiopathic Hepatic Lipidosis in a Cat
by Anthony Chu
A two year-old neutered female Domestic Long Hair cat was examined after her owner reported weight loss and anorexia. Clinical examination revealed marked jaundice. Subsequent conventional diagnostic tests by a feline veterinary specialist confirmed the cat was suffering from idiopathic hepatic lipidosis (HL). Although HL is the most common type of liver disease of North American cats, it is much less common in Australia. The cat was placed on a Chinese herbal formula known as Wei Ling Tang (Calm the Stomach and Poria Decoction) and she responded within three days and started eating again. The treatment was continued for a total of eight weeks. Follow-up laboratory blood profile has revealed complete resolution of her hepatobiliary disease.TCM diagnosis poses new challenges. As vets, we are used to gathering information indirectly through asking questions of owners, through observation with our eyes, listening with a stethoscope, and even smelling greasy yeasty ears. We also routinely use palpation to feel enlarged or painful abdominal organs, to detect the heat of acute inflammation or pyrexia, or the soft fluctuant swelling of abscesses. However since beginning to learn TCM several years ago, I�ve had to modify my skills.

Committee assignments
In the 2011-2012 legislative session, Craig served on these committees:
Campaign themes
On his 2011 campaign site, Craig details his policy platform:
- Governing Philosophy: "I believe that that government is best which governs least. I believe that taxing of one's income and regulation of one's actions are inherently restrictive to liberty."
- State Budget Reform: "I believe our state government is too big. Every household in Wisconsin has had to adjust it's budget during these hard economic times. Our state government should be no different. I oppose raising taxes, fees or raiding segregated funds to fill our budget deficit. We need to implement massive spending cuts immediately and put our government on a spending diet that respects our individual liberties and our businesses. I PLEDGE TO OPPOSE ANY BUDGET THAT RAISES TAXES."
- Life: "I believe that life begins at conception. I oppose efforts to legalize assisted suicide. While the state should intervene as little as possible in peoples' lives, I believe the state has an inherent role in promoting a civil society that respects life at all stages."
- Marriage: "I believe marriage should be between one man and one woman. I am opposed to any legislation allowing for same sex marriages or civil unions."
- Taxes: "Our state tax code is beginning to rival the federal tax code in complexity. I believe we need to overhaul our current tax code and replace it with a simplified system. I would look at all possible reforms, including REPLACING our current progressive tax code with a consumption tax or flat tax."
- Health Care Reform: "I support state action challenging the Constitutionality of the new federal health care mandate."
- Education: "We must reduce the tax and regulatory burden on families, allowing for more opportunity for involvement in the education of their children. I support parental choice in education, including the use of vouchers."
- Energy: "I support lifting the moratorium limiting nuclear energy production. I oppose all efforts to institute a statewide cap and trade system, or any other taxing system that penalizes carbon dioxide production."
- Tort Reform: "Our system has been abused time and time again in awarding massive non-economic damage awards to plaintiffs. This practice stifles business, bogs down the courts and tramples individual liberties. For these reasons, I support legislation capping non-economic damages."
- 2nd Amendment: "I believe this vision includes the right to carry arms, be it openly or concealed. I further believe that the legislature should approve "Castle Doctrine" legislation."
- See also: Wisconsin State Assembly elections, 2012
Craig won re-election in the 2012 election for Wisconsin State Assembly District 83. Craig ran unopposed in the Republican primary on August 14 and defeated James Brownlow (D) in the general election on November 6, 2012.[2]

Nailtiques Formula 2 for Thin, Brittle Nails
Out of Stock

It Works!
I read someone's negative post and sorry but, this is the only stuff that works! My nails are really, really thin. My nails break doing the most minor chores, like tying a shoe or making a bed. I don't bite my nails, they grow very quickly but my friends called them paper chips.
When I got engaged I FINALLY had 10 even fingernails! But, I got cocky and stopped using the stuff after the wedding. WRONG! You must keep using this stuff and it's not cheap! Even when you get manicures, they charge an extra $3 to apply this on your nails.
Now on my second week of using this stuff again, my nails are even lengthened - not strong yet but even!

Disappointing Results
I wanted to love this & hoped beyond hope that this would work for me, but it didn't. I have been using it faithfully along with the companion remover as directed for 2-1/2 weeks now & do not see any improvement other than what I have achieved with any other polish applied on a daily basis (that really does help...daily applications. It doesn't matter if it is a cheap clear coat or one of the many strengthening kind). I will say that this feels nicer to wear & I would believe this to be a terrific base & top coat, as it does not peel or flake easily. Worth the money? No. Not unless you REALLY hate painting your nails.

Best Nail Strengthner Ever!!
i have tried so many nail strengthners all my life.I was always a nail biter and my nails were always very short and disgusting. Everytime i tried to grow my nails they would,split, chip, grow slow, peel and so on. After spending money on fake nails and nail polish bought form drugstores that cost me a fortune i ran into this website with this nail polish and saw its reviews. I didnt believe it but tried it. and it WORKED!!! i use to get frustrated when i tried growing my nails and they will break so i would start biting them again. well now i have long strong nails and the peeling STOPPED!! you do have to follow the directions and stay on top of it. or you wont see results. it takes a few weeks until you see results and then the nail starts to get harder and stronger must manicure your nails and mantain the length this stuff WORKS!!! unfortunatly i donthave before pics but i can tell u it was gross and short stubs but i can show u now pics!!

Amazing! I Call It Nailcrack
I have been using this for 5 years. I was a dedicated acrylic user and my nails were in horrible shape. A co-worker recommended this and my nails are BEAUTIFUL. They grow so fast and long I have to cut them down atleast twice a month. I recommend this to anyone who wishes to have long, healthy, and beautiful nails. I seldom where color polish because my nails look like a natural French Manicure. I get many compliments on my nails. I LOVE THIS STUFF!

Won't Ever Use Anything Else On My Nails!
I have been using Nailtiques for a while now, and it never falls anything short of amazing. You can tell immediately when it's dry that your nails are much healthier and stronger! Best nail product I've EVER used.

A Miracle Product
This stuff is amazing. I had really damaged my nails with UV overlays. They were tissue paper thin, painful and ugly. I started using this stuff about three weeks ago after doing some research on the internet. What can I say, it works. My nails are strong and healthy looking in this short time. I will continue to use this daily until my nails reach my required length, which at this rate I think will only be another couple of weeks!!! I have seen people then use it as a base and top coat for nail varnish and say you will get a good week of perfect varnished nails. Although a little expensive (�18.95 in the UK for a 14.8 ml bottle) after using this product I can say with my hand on my heart that I will never go back to false nails or gel overlays, it is fantastic.

Finally!!!! Something That Works!
I have used so many different products that claim to strengthen nails - NOTHING has worked! My nails nails break and peel really easily, and I'm not crazy about acrylics (especially the cost & upkeep!!). I have been using Nailtiques for a little over a month and I love it! Just have patience and keep up with it! If it's peeling off your nails, you're doing something wrong!!! ONE coat per day on clean and dry nails. Remove it all after 3 to 4 days as it becomes thick and starts to peel. It is also an amazing base and top coat. I have been painting my nails now that they have grown in, and my at-home manicures are lasting a full week before peeling. I will definitely bring this to the salon with me. Usually within a day or two of getting a salon manicure I already experience peeling - what a waste of money for a manicure! I should note that along with this, I have been using the Nailtiques Nail Polish remover and the Oil Therapy. All excellent products!

Just Awesome
I have been a nailtiques user for years. I constantly try to get the ladies to let their acryics go and have natural nails. I swear by this stuff. I used to bite my nails horribly and then I lived by acrylics. Now I my natural nails look as nice and feel as strong as acrylics. The only time I have a break is when I get lazy with filing and polishing! This product is wondeful!

The Best..bar None
I had the worst nails..I could no longer wear rings because I didnt want to draw attention to them..I saw a review of Forumla 2 online...bought it and within 3 weeks I could not believe the difference. I was so happy months later when a sales clerk asked me if my nails were real...I proudly said they sure are and told her what I was using..I have recommended this to everyone...

Cute Magnet
I've spent hours trying to find the right save the date that fit "us" and I just LOVE how this one turned out.Our family and friends were so excited to get it in the mail and I've received a lot of compliments. I wanted everything purple to go with our wedding colors but I chose the green pallet,I ordered a sample to be sure and they were even better in person!
This Save the Date design is EXACTLY what I was looking for
I'm doing an ombre theme for my wedding in shades of reds, corals, and peaches. I was able to take the original ombre design of this magnet and darken the colors to match mine perfectly. They came out just right and I could not be more pleased with the level of service and the quickness of the entire process. I highly recommend and I will be back to purchase the matching thank you cards. Thank you

This makes the turbo putt extremely useful.
This makes the turbo putt extremely useful.
I don't know how I missed this news/thread. VERY cool hole. I can't wait to play it. I have a REALLY simple solution for the ladder thing. A pulley. Install this on the beam above the basket. Tie a nylon rope to the top of the basket and run it through the pulley. Pull the rope to your desired height and tie a figure eight on a bight. Leave the loose end ("F" in the linked instructions) long enough to reach the ground. Screw a storage hook (like this) into one of the side beams with the open mouth of the hook facing the ground and hook the loop of your figure eight on the hook.
This way you can remove the stairs and players would just lower the basket to get their disc. Once they had their disc thay would return the basket back to the proper height as established by the loop of the knot.
This would be a fine solution and wouldn't cost but an addition $20 or so in material. ;^)

"...a glass can only spill what it contains..."
Unless you're very short you don't really need the ladder. I'm not quite 5'8" and I don't need the ladder. I just reach through the bottom of the basket, grab the disc and turn it vertical then gently toss it out and catch it.

It may not be easy for you to accept the fact that you need help for an alcohol problem. Keep in mind that the sooner you get help, the better your chances are for a successful recovery.
You may have concerns about discussing drinking-related problems with your doctor. This may stem from common misconceptions about alcoholism and people who have alcoholism. In our society, some people may perceive alcohol problems as a sign of moral weakness. As a result, you may feel that to seek help is to admit some type of shameful defect in yourself. However, taking steps to identify a possible drinking problem has an enormous payoff: a chance for a healthier, more rewarding life.
A diagnosis of alcohol abuse or alcoholism is often based on an initial assessment, physical examination, and psychological evaluation.
Initial Assessment
Your doctor will ask you a number of questions about your alcohol use to determine whether you are having problems related to your drinking. Try to answer these questions as fully and honestly as you can. These are some of the questions you may be asked:
- Have you tried to reduce your drinking?
- Have you felt bad about your drinking?
- Have you been annoyed by another person's criticism of your drinking?
- Do you drink in the morning to steady your nerves or cure a hangover?
- Do you have problems with a job, your family, or the law?
- Do you drive under the influence of alcohol?
Physical Examination and Tests
You also will be given a physical examination. Testing is not required to make a diagnosis, but your doctor may want blood tests. These tests can:
- Measure the size of your red blood cells
- Look for anemia
- Evaluate liver and kidney function
- Look for liver disease or damage
If your doctor concludes that you may be dependent on alcohol, you may be referred to a specialist in alcoholism. You should be involved in any referral decisions and have all treatment choices explained to you.
Psychological Evaluation
You may also be evaluated for psychiatric disorders that often occur with alcoholism, such as anxiety disorders and depression . You may be evaluated by your doctor or be referred to a mental health professional.
