I wonder if these folks even have a clue that Afghanistan is boiling over again
That seems to be the story that no one in the national news media is covering. Which means that the ignorant masses are oblivious. If you watch the national news you wouldn't know that there's even a war in Afghanistan at all.
I agree with your first paragraph completely. I just find fault in their ability to get even a little bit of support from across the isle and construct bills that they'd be able to override a veto on. It's like they just sent the bills over expecting them to get vetoed and then they threw up their hands and quit.

|Cronin gets new deal from Cincinnati
|Written by Admin
|Monday, 23 June 2014 09:48
The school says Cronin has agreed to a contract through the 2020-21 season. The school says it replaces an earlier extension for Cronin, who will be in his ninth season with the Bearcats.
Other terms weren't announced Monday.
Cronin is 162-107 in eight seasons at Cincinnati. He took over the program in 2006-2007, following interim coach Andy Kennedy. The former Murray State coach and Cincinnati native has led the Bearcats to the NCAA tournament the past four seasons.
He was the American Athletic Conference's inaugural coach of the year. His team went 27-7 last season, losing to Harvard in the NCAA tournament.

Faith and Pride
This June is Pride Month for the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender (LGBT) community. From repealing Don't Ask, Don't Tell, to signing historic hate crime prevention legislation, President Obama has been a committed leader in advancing LGBT rights. Earlier this month, the President appeared on ABC news to publically articulate his support of marriage equality, underscoring his belief that men and women should be equal in the eyes of law, regardless of sexual orientation.
All month at the White House, we've been taking the opportunity not only to celebrate individuals who have made a difference in the LGBT community, but also to remember that the fight for equality is not over. Faith Cheltenham is one strong woman who has committed herself to making sure that all LGBT individuals feel welcome and valued by the community.
Read more about Faith in this week's edition of "Women Working to Do Good." The author writes:
During her presidency at BiNet USA, Faith has mainly focused on advocacy, networking, and bringing attention to the underrepresented - making communities, corporations, and administrations, like the White House, more aware of bisexuals and bisexual resources so that funding will eventually be made possible. BiNet USA not only helps connect bisexuals across the USA to each other, but it also works to end the stigma against bisexual identity. As an activist, Faith says that more people feel comfortable talking to her about coming out, and if she can help reach people at a smaller level, she has made change.
Faith's work has had a remarkable impact on the LGBT community. She continues to inspire those around her to do good and to advocate for what they truly believe in.

"Flying is fantastic and always makes me happy," Honors told the paper. "My greatest satisfaction, however, comes from rewarding and recognizing the people in my command. These young kids are true American heroes."
It is perhaps that dedication to the men and women who serve under him that led Owens to try to reach out to them in the videos that have now generated so much controversy.
"His intent was to compete with the MTV 2's and the X-Games generation. As the executive officer of the carrier, he is charged with getting his message through to 18- and 19-year-old sailors. So I think his idea was that he would take this prosaic message -- don't take long showers, don't waste water on the ship, don't drink and drive, don't underage drink if we're on liberty, comport yourself as an American ambassador -- all of those messages that the sailors have heard a number of times. He thought OK, I will deliver the same message with a velocity and an energy that will resonate with a younger audience," Carroll said.
ABC News' Martha Raddatz, Richard Coolidge and Nick Tucker contributed to this report.

I have always been interested in programming, I have messed around with many programming languages and different game engines, making simple apps and things like that. I have been doing Java for a little over a year. Because of school, I did Java mostly on-and-off. I would do it for a month or so then pick up 6 - 8 weeks later... anyway, my point is I know the basics of Java quite well. This is because every time I jumped back into java, I would always recap from the beginning.
I understand I know hardly anything. That being said I really want to learn more about the language and get better at it. I am tired of doing System.out.Print() statements, I feel like I have done almost everything I can do with them. I have also done basic work with GridLayouts and Swing.
Since school is out I have been doing a lot of Java, at least a few hours a day. I have been following along with some game tutorials. The first three or so tutorials I completely understand, but after that it gets a bit difficult.
I am not here to ask a specific question about code. But I would like to know the opinion of an experienced Java programmer. Am I approaching this the correct way? What is the best way to learn the most Java? I feel like it's gotten to the point in the tutorials where I am not befitting from them like I was in the beginning.
Should I stick with what I am doing? Attempt to memorize the code? Could someone point me to somewhere else that I could learn?

"Hags threw the ball so well," Francona said. "He has the ability to do this. If you let an outing or two [affect your thinking], if you kind of put a guy in the penalty box, you're not going to get to see what he can do. That doesn't help anybody."
Hagadone has now thrown 5 1/3 innings with seven strikeouts and just two walks with a 3.38 ERA.
"He did an outstanding job," closer Cody Allen said. "Hags is a big part of this team. He's a guy that I know Tito likes to lean on, because he's a left-hander that can get righties and lefties out. He's got great stuff. He did a great job for us last year and we're looking for him to do the same thing this year."
Bauer (1-0) was pulled with a no-hitter after throwing 111 pitches through six innings. He struck out a career-high 11 and walked five. Kyle Crockett and Scott Atchison each pitched a scoreless inning, respectively before Jed Lowrie broke up a combined no-hit bid with a one-out solo home run in the ninth inning off Nick Hagadone.
Bauer will return to the mound Wednesday at home against the White Sox. He pitched 6 2/3 scoreless innings last season against Chicago.
They have promoted catcher Roberto Perez and left-handed reliever Nick Hagadone from Triple-A Columbus and demoted outfielder Tyler Holt .
Perez will be making his first trip to the big leagues. He leads the Clippers in batting at .305 with eight home runs and 43 RBI.
Hagadone made five appearances with the major-league team in early June, giving up two earned runs in 2 1/3 innings while striking out four and walking two. He's 3-4 with a 3.71 ERA and 41:10 K:BB ratio in 26 2/3 innings with Columbus.
Hagadone performed well for a bit upon his promotion to Cleveland, but struggled in his last three outings. He has had problems with his control throughout his career.
Hagadone (1-0) was recalled after posting a 3.09 ERA and 35:9 K:BB ratio in 23 1/3 innings with Triple-A Columbus. He entered this season with a career 5.59 ERA in 67 2/3 innings over three seasons with the Indians, so Tuesday's excellent outing was a big step in the right direction.
Hagadone was sent down to make room for Nyjer Morgan, who will start Sunday against the White Sox. Hagadone did not make an appearance with the club during Saturday's game.
The ruling increases Hagadone's service time to 1.127 and he received compensation for his time on the DQ list. Cleveland also regains the minor-league option used on Hagadone in July 2012, so he can be optioned this season. Hagadone will be vying for a spot in the team's bullpen this spring.
The 27-year-old reliever has a 5.33 ERA over 25 1/3 innings this season for the Indians with 23 strikeouts. That said, he was scoreless over his last 2 2/3 innings with four Ks.
Hagadone was recently sent back down from the Tribe. He's made 11 appearances for Cleveland in June and has allowed five earned runs over 11 2/3 innings for a 3.86 ERA.
The team needed to call up Trevor Bauer and Carlos Carrasco to start, so Hagadone was optioned to make room. Hagadone had a 5.40 ERA in 27 games.
Hagadone had a 7.20 ERA and walked 10 batters in 13 outings (10 innings). He also had 12 strikeouts.
Hagadone was pulled after loading the bases and all three runners scored, sending his ERA soaring from 2.08 to 5.19.
"It's been pretty good overall," Hagadone said of his performance this season, per MLB.com. "But no, I've definitely had other outings where my stuff wasn't there. Sometimes you get lucky and you get out of the inning without getting hurt, and sometimes you don't. I didn't last time."
Hagadone does have 11 strikeouts in 8 2/3 innings, but he's also issued eight walks, including two Saturday.
"When I'm ahead in the count, it enables me to be a lot more successful," Hagadone said. "They can't eliminate my slider if I'm ahead in the count and if I'm throwing that for strikes."
The 27-year-old Hagadone was with the club earlier in the year for eight appearances. He had a 2.45 ERA with eight Ks over 7 1/3 innings.
"We didn't want to do it, and we told him that," manager Terry Francona told MLB.com. "We had a short visit with him last night and explained to him that, unfortunately right now, this is what we need to do. We don't want him to be in Triple-A. It wasn't because of anything he did. It was strictly that. I think he was disappointed, but I think he understood."
Hagadone has a 2.45 ERA on the season, but has appeared in just eight games as the eighth man in the bullpen. Hagadone cannot be recalled for 10 days, unless the team has to place a player on the disabled list.
It had been speculated that Hagadone would be demoted from the team's major-league roster. Through 7 1/3 innings, he has a 2.45 ERA. He should still factor into the team's plans going forward.
Hagadone has a 2.45 ERA in 7 1/3 innings this year. He did not start the year with the major-league club, and joined the team April 12. He will likely be back up with the team at some point this year.
Hagadone is replacing Matt Albers, who will be on paternity leave for the next few days. Expect his stay in the majors to be short.
Hagadone has tossed eight scoreless innings in relief this spring. He has struck out 11 and walked two.

The Lake George Elvis Festival returns to the picturesque community of Lake George, New Your with another line up of great entertainment.
"Lake George is without comparison, the most beautiful water I ever saw; formed by a contour of mountains into a basin… finely interspersed with is- lands, its water limpet as crystal, and the mountain sides covered with rich groves." – Thomas Jefferson, May 31, 1791
At the foot of this beautiful lake sits the Village of Lake George, which has been host to one of the largest Elvis Festivals in North America for the past eleven years. From the first event of the festival, a free concert held lakeside, to Sunday's wrap party, five full days of Elvis entertainment will keep you busy. Enjoy entertainment on board the small ships which steam up and down the lake daily, view the Classic Car parade, or travel from venue to venue watching Elvis Tribute Artists perform all weekend long. There are hotels for all budgets, restaurants for all tastes, and Elvis entertainment for everyone. With passes for the weekend starting at under $100, there's no excuse not to come!
Some of the world's top Elvis Tribute Artists will once again be in Lake George. This year's festival will feature performances by Shawn Klush, Cody Slaughter, Chris Connor, last year's champion David Lee, Mario Kombou and Bruce Stewart. Plus, presented for the very first time in Lake George on Thursday night, Sherry Management's "Elvis meets the Beatles" will feature the very best Elvis Tribute Act the Liverpool Legends.

We're sorry to let you know there will definitely be no Las Vegas Elvis Festival this year. After a lot of back and forth with Graceland the conclusion was that our type of Elvis entertainment does not fit in with the vision they have for the Elvis Presley International Theater at the Westgate Las Vegas Resort and Casino. We know that many of you will be disappointed so we encourage you to come and join us at one of our many other events this year. Each of the events in Lake George – NY, Myrtle Beach – SC, Memphis – TN, Portage – IN, and Ocean City – MD has a unique flavor and is a great way to join with your friends and Elvis family in celebrating the life, legacy and music of the King of Rock and Roll.

Speed Week: Deutsch Marques
Eins, zwei, drei... SLS AMG Black, M135i and RS6 head through the mountains to join the TG party in France
Posted: 16 Aug 2013
So we hit the speed-restricted motorways of Austria and Switzerland. Adding another flag to our tick-box list, we dip into Liechtenstein. The Prince's castle gazes down on this mountainous little kingdom of evident prosperity. Yet, on a Saturday afternoon, the shops and cafes are shut. Pavements are empty. A sterile place, indeed. And women got the vote here only in 1984. It's a favoured domicile for those who consider Switzerland too socially liberal and too fiscally transparent.

We are officially out for summer. All S's on the report card, off the charts in reading levels, and DD has talked nonstop since she got home about what teacher she wants next year and who she wants to be in her class, and etc. Up until today she has looked at today with dread, she has even cried several times this week about missing her teacher and friends so much, but tonight she is 100% full of acceptance and excitment. Anyone else out this week with excited 1st graders?
Hello 1st grade, we are done :)
DD still has 3 more half days of school next week, Tuesday through Thursday but they will be fun days. To be honest, she has had a rough year. She really made a lot of academic progress over the last few months, but behaviorally she is having trouble. She has a late July birthday and was one of the youngest in her class. We've decided to hold her back and have her repeat another year of kindergarten next year because maturity-wise she's just not ready for 1st grade. DD's teacher said that she would support us in whatever decision we made, but if it was her daughter, that she would hold her back. We've talked to DD about being in kindergarten again next year and she said that she's okay with it, but I don't think she fully understands that most of the other kids will be moving on to 1st grade.
I'm excited for this summer though, he can't wait to be done K and is excited for grade 1 though I think a bit skeptical because K is half time... he knows next year will be more school and less play (boo!)
Will - April 2006
John - November 2008
(formerly Will'sMom_2006)
We still have another 2 weeks. DD has had a great year, academically and socially. She is excited about 1st grade but will miss her kindy teachers. She doesn't know it, but one of her 2 teachers is moving, so she will not see her again, which is kind of sad.
Carly's Mommy - 2 of the summer bday kids in DD's class will be doing kindy again next year. It is not uncommon. DD has a classmate who was in kindy last year. It is the best year to hold back. The kids don't just him at all (and he has a Feb bday, so was 7 when most were still 5!) and he has had a great year.
Mom to a fabulous 7 year old!
My daughter goes until June 16. She is ready for it be over. She enjoys here friends but she has a hard time sitting still for long periods of time. She gets tons of O's(Outstanding) for Math and S's for Reading and Language Arts.
yesterday was my ds's last day of kindy! great report card, ready to go to 1st grade! they sent home some summer activities packets and papers to do and a daily activity calendar. but not gonna lie, im hoping to take a week off from the "homework"! lol ds already started his summer papers last night!
Married to Matt 8/23/08
Austin Matthew 4/11/06 Brynn Elena 12/31/09 Brady William 5/30/12
lol, ewe homework in the summer We didnt get anything like that other than asking the kids to read one book a day (to themselves) and then asking parents to read another book a day to them for comprehension upkeep. Other than that, no homework, which surprises me, but our principal put even in their DVD's for the kids not to forget that they have to read every day so hopefully it will be easy to keep her excited about it.
Carley's mom - My 2 year old is an end of July baby, he was due at the end of August and he was born a premi and he has always been behind on everything so we have decided as far as preschool to keep him with his correct age, but both my DH and I have a good feeling he will have to be held back too, which if that is what he needs, then no problem!! Its better to do that now then have problems later!!!

Regarding Hypnosis and ADHD
Posted by Mike on Monday, April 1 at 1:00pm
Hypnosis can provide valuable assistance to the individual struggling with ADHD. However, hypnosis does not provide a "cure" for a valid form of ADHD. Rather hypnosis is a valuable adjunct resource for the individual seeking to live with the challenges of ADHD. [Read More]

2003 BEST Women's Shoes
Saks Fifth Avenue
If shoes are the ultimate in therapeutic fixes, then Saks's fitting area could double as a women's support group. Just slide on a pair of gleaming Prada Mary Janes or Michael Kors laser-cut pumps, and watch your mood improve. Buckle up some strappy and teetering Jimmy Choo stilettos, or take a turn in Kate Spade flower-adorned slides—suddenly, you're a new woman. Sculpted Sergio Rossis, sweet Burberry espadrilles, and Vera Wang satin slingbacks all beckon from the shelves, promising immediate gratification, head to toe. Did we mention the Chanel fuchsia wedges? The Blahnik leopard print mules or the Marc Jacobs kitten heels? They're all here, offering true satisfaction for the sole.

Publisher's Description
General editor Lloyd J. Ogilvie brings together a team of skilled and exceptional communicators to blend sound scholarship with life-related illustrations. This eBook contains the entire 35 Volume Series, Genesis - Revelation.
The design for the Preacher's Commentary gives the reader an overall outline of each book of the Bible. Following the introduction, which reveals the author's approach and salient background on the book, each chapter of the commentary provides the Scripture to be exposited. The New King James Bible has been chosen for the Preacher's Commentary because it combines with integrity the beauty of language, underlying Hebrew and Greek textual basis, and thought-flow of the 1611 King James Version, while replacing obsolete verb forms and other archaisms with their everyday contemporary counterparts for greater readability. Reverence for God is preserved in the capitalization of all pronouns referring to the Father, Son, or Holy Spirit. Readers who are more comfortable with another translation can readily find the parallel passage by means of the chapter and verse reference at the end of each passage being exposited. The paragraphs of exposition combine fresh insights to the Scripture, application, rich illustrative material, and innovative ways of utilizing the vibrant truth for his or her own life and for the challenge of communicating it with vigor and vitality.

For the nanocrystallography experiment at the Linac Coherent Light Source, the research team used thousands of photosystem I nanocrystals instead. The significance of the experiment has the potential to revolutionize the field of protein crystallography and is reported in the Nature paper "Femtosecond X-ray protein nanocrystallography."
"These experiments have the potential to be one of the most stunning scientific developments of the year" said Robert Nemanich, chair of ASU's Department of Physics.
Little nozzle reaches target
Researcher Spence, with extensive experience in the physics of diffraction, led the ASU group that developed the protein beam injector, a tiny piece of equipment that fired a stream of protein solution to the pulsed hard X-ray beam at SLAC.
"The experimental run at the LCLS had exceeded all expectations," said R. Bruce Doak, an ASU physics professor who has more than 30 years experience in the science of supersonic atomic and molecular beams. During the December 2009 experiment, he wrote: "The ASU liquid jet is performing flawlessly. We put together a dual reservoir supply system that allows us to switch samples without ever turning off the flow, and so the nozzle has now been running continuously for over 50 hours.
"Early on, we established the sample concentration of microcystallite photosystem I that delivers an X-ray diffraction pattern with almost every X-ray pulse 30 diffraction images per second! No one here had ever seen anything like a 100% hit rat before, much less sustained for days; over 3 million stored diffraction images so far. The diffraction patterns are gorgeous," wrote Doak, also an author on the Nature nanocrystallography paper.

|Admin. division
|Northern (state)
Karima is a town in Northern State in Sudan some 400 km from Khartoum on a loop of the Nile.
The hill of Jebel Barkal is near Karima. Beside it are the ruins of Napata, a city-state of ancient Nubia on the west bank of the Nile River, including the temple of Amun. The Shaigiya tribe lived around Karima and Korti, but suffered for their support of the British against the Mahdi. The land around Karima is a center for cultivation of Barakawi dates. Karima is a terminus of a branch narrow gauge railway of the Sudan Railways system.

FOREST PARK — The first Forest Park city meeting of 2014 will be held Monday and topping the agenda is the swearing-in of the mayor and two council members.
The title of mayor pro tem, held during 2013 by Linda Lord, also passes to the next most senior member of council, Maudie McCord. Council members agreed the position is to be held for a year, based on seniority.
Mayor David Lockhart and wards 1 and 2 councilmen Tommy Smith and Dabouze Antoine will be sworn into office Monday. The trio was elected in the fall to four-year terms starting Jan. 1.
Council members are expected to vote on appointments to various city positions including attorney, solicitor, clerk and treasurer, deputy clerk and judges for municipal and environmental courts. No surprises are expected, according to the agenda.
Council members will also get committee appointments. Lord is expected to be appointed to the retirement and NOISE committees; McCord will serve on central safety and death benefit committees; Latresa Akins will serve on Board of Directors of Clayton County Municipal Association and Death Benefit Committee.
Lockhart will also serve on Death Benefit Committee.
A presentation will be made to firefighter and paramedic Carter Cagle, who is retiring from Forest Park Fire Department after 38 years of service.
Council members are expected to activate a resolution to authorize an Urban Redevelopment Agency, an action related to Forest Park and Fort Gillem Redevelopment Authority. The agency will be made of residents appointed by mayor and council who will authorize bonds, get loans, lines of credit, buy and sell property — everything that needs to be done to finalize the deal with the Army, said Authority Executive Director Fred Bryant.
Council is also expected to debate a proposal for a lobbyist for the 2014 General Assembly.
The work session starts at 6 p.m. followed by the regular meeting at 7 p.m. Both meetings are open to the public and held at Forest Park City Hall.

Former Olympic judo performer returns to the sport on her terms
TEMECULA -- Each morning after breakfast, Valerie Gotay and her two young daughters trek across their spacious backyard to the workout facility she and her husband constructed by coincidence last fall.
It has become a mother-and-daughters routine these last four months. Breanna, 7, and Isabella, 2, will play and offer encouragement as their mother ascends ropes to the ceiling and immerses herself in cardiovascular work. Along the way, Gotay's judo talents have re-emerged with such stunning swiftness that it now seems possible this 30-year-old stay-at-home-mom could become an Olympian for the second time.
And that's largely because of this home gym along with the old backyard barn that Valerie and Angel Gotay converted into a judo dojo on their two-acre Southwest Riverside County property last fall. Training partners come to Gotay's home for workouts three days each week, allowing her to perform her duties as a stay-at-home-mom while contemplating a last-minute, completely unplanned run at a spot on the U.S. team in Athens this summer.
"The key for me is to have a balance with my family," said Gotay, who became disillusioned with judo after her disaster at the 1992 Olympics and, aside from aborted comebacks in 1996 and '98, stayed away from the sport until she resumed full-time training on Jan. 1. "When it gets to the point where I'm spending too much time away from my husband and can't help with the kids, that's when it's not fun for me anymore."
What Gotay is attempting in judo is less a comeback than the resumption of a former life's ambition in the form of a brief hobby. The former Valerie Lafon only started training again because the senior national judo championships, which begin today, were to be held in her hometown, at the University of San Diego's Jenny Craig Pavilion.
The plan was simple: She would train for four months, compete in the national tournament, then she would retire again.
Until the first weekend in April, that was still the plan.
Then things started going insanely well.
For starters, the Gotays constructed the gym and dojo before Valerie knew the national tournament would be held in San Diego.
Her father and coach Gerald Lafon was initially skeptical of Gotay's plans. And at his urging, Gotay entered the Swamp Classic, a low-level tournament in Louisiana, the first weekend in April, "just to get a feel for it before nationals," she said.
Gotay won the tournament. A sponsor then convinced her to enter the British Open, one of judo's most prestigious tournaments, two weeks later. Lafon was against it. Even Gotay felt she'd be lucky to win one match.
She won the silver medal, assuring herself a spot in the U.S. Olympic Trials on June 5 in San Jose.
"It's been pretty darn remarkable," said Lafon, who operates Judo America in Mira Mesa, where his daughter trains three days each week. "It's unreasonable to believe you can go to Europe, which is a very big judo market and do what she did. Six years out of the loop, that's a long time."

JAKARTA: A jetliner carrying 110 people skidded off a runway into a swamp in Indonesia's eastern Kalimantan province on Tuesday in thick haze, but no one was injured, an airport official said.
The Mandala Airlines Boeing 737-200 flying from the provincial capital of Balikpapan skidded upon landing at 11:20 am (0420 GMT) at the airport in Tarakan on the Indonesian portion of Borneo, said the official, Nafiq.
Tarakan was engulfed in a thick, choking haze caused by ground and forest fires raging in Indonesia. Staff at the local meteorology station near the airport said that visibility was only 400 meters (yards) when the plane landed.
"The aircraft was landing according to proper procedures, following an instrument approach," Nafiq said when asked why the plane was landing in such poor conditions.
Indonesian air safety regulations require visibilty of at least 1,000 meters for a manual landing.
Mandala spokesman Alex Wijoyo Cundo said in Jakarta that the plane was carrying 104 passengers and a crew of six.
Nafiq said that two people were suffering shock.
"The aircraft's body remains intact, only parts of it are now in the swamp some 50 meters off the runway," he said.
In September 2005, engine failure brought down a Mandala Airlines Boeing 737-200 north of Medan in Sumatra province, killing 150 people.
Mandala, established in 1969, operates a fleet of 12 Boeing aircraft, mostly 737-200s, to serve routes linking Jakarta and 12 provincial capitals.

Nose: A lovely mix of heady malt and hints of cool wood smoke on the nose with notes of Demerara sugar, prunes and molasses. Rhubarb and apple crumble with caramelised sugar and warm custard. Hints of soy sauce, black pepper and truffle oil, pine resin and butterscotch.
Palate: Sweet and creamy. Notes of potpourri and barley malt, hints of sherbet lemon and Cola bottle sweets and even a tingle of salinity. After a time it becomes very much like old-fashioned lemonade and digestive biscuits.
Finish: Lemon-y and spicy with hints of gingernut, pepper and cinnamon-flavoured porridge.

I admit this was bought more as a "well it's unusual, it will keep folks guessing" and didn't really expect to be overly taken with it as a drink in its own right.I was rather taken by it, it has a strong peatyness about it (of the sort of level you might expect in Lagavulin) but a softer side which reminded me a little of a "Remy / Courvosier" flavour.If you want something very different to round off the order with that will certainly provoke some comments and questions, this is probably a good one to add. I just wish I had been able to try Batch No. 1

Patriot Taxiway Industries Succeeds By Using Advice From SCORE Mentor
Kevin McDermott and Steven Smits originally intended to operate a small company producing aviation lighting systems. They soon grew their business when only 20 months into operations, the company was awarded a $7.7 million contract from the Air Force to supply lighting at 28 bases. Kevin, vice president of business development, says, he and Steve, the president of the company who is a service-disabled veteran, made a conscious decision to hire veterans for the workforce they'd need to meet the contract.
Attending meetings at their local SCORE chapter, Kevin and Steven met with Milwaukee mentor Joan Burke for small business help.
"There was an awful lot we didn't know" about starting a business, Kevin says. They must have learned a lot quickly, because Patriot Taxiway Industries received the 2010 SCORE Award for Outstanding Veteran-owned Business.
Attending meetings at their local SCORE chapter, Kevin and Steven met with Milwaukee counselor Joan Burke, and they were given checklists to understand what it takes to start a small business and to understand what they'd be up against.
SCORE, Kevin says, gave them the framework to ask the right questions that would help them succeed regarding banks, liability insurance, marketing to the federal government. "In the military, we have a role, we have a task. The environment doesn't bother us; we fix airplanes," Kevin says. "It's different when we have to go out and hire people."
Kevin and Steven each have more than 20 years' experience in the Air Force National Guard. They met in 1988 and have been deployed together all over the world including Afghanistan, Bosnia, Iraq, Kosovo and Somalia. Nevertheless, Kevin calls starting a small business one of the most challenging, albeit rewarding, things he's ever done.
With Kevin's background in electrical engineering and optical design, and Steven's in avionics manufacturing, the two had strong credentials for producing their aviation lighting systems, which makes lighting systems for aviation customers, from the overhead lights in an airplane cabin, to the runway and anti-collision lights utilized by airports.

Yep, I think someone dressed their child up as him for Halloween
The cycle repeated as explosions broke in the sky
all that I needed was the one thing I couldn't find
And you were there at the turn waiting to let me know
We're building it up to break it back down
We're building it up to burn it down
We can't wait to burn it to the ground
The colors conflicted as the flames climbed into the clouds
I wanted to fix this but couldn't stop from tearing it down
And you were there at the turn caught in the burning glow
And I was there at the turn waiting to let you know
You told me yes you held me high And I believed when you told that lie
I played that soldier you played king And struck me down when I kissed that ring
You lost that right to hold that crown I built you up but you let me down
so when you fall I'll take my turn and fan the flames as your blazes burn
A fire needs a space to burn, a breath to build a glow.
Hahahah! So there is a toaster at the end of the rainbow?
I only do it when I wake up early in the morning and feel to tired to be standing

Decorating Trends
I was recently interviewed by a journalist in the city asking about bringing a specific trend into a room (for her it was the idea of global influence, in particular African art, textiles, what have you). She seemed to quite like it when I said you have to do it sparingly, unless it is grouped as a collection, or you would end up with a "theme park" instead of a room (Epcot Center anyone?). But it made me think about how to strike that balance and how to explain it to someone.
Take, for instance, the Union Jack flag. I love it. I love how graphic it is. I love the colours. I love it when it looks old and worn. But it is something that has to be done properly. The shots below, for example, are of two beautiful rooms by Dan Marty Designs, but one has too many Union Jacks. Suddenly it isn't special. Or as my moms would say, "that is too much of a muchness." The other, from Apartment Therapy, has just a subtle Union Jack motif on a chair. That'll do.
The next room has the ubiquitous Union Jack as a dog bed but it doesn't really fit with the vibe of the room. Again, this doesn't seem like a special motif the homeowner just has to add in, but in fact, more like an after-thought.
I think designer Tommy Smythe hit the right note in his living room below. I was on this shoot of his last apartment and was crazily coveting his Union Jack pillow (anyone know for sure what colony this flag is from, not a typical British flag so I suspect something colonial?). I may have even offered him some cash for it, when he is over it. Here is the thing, he only did it once in the room (he found an old vintage flag and had it sewn into a pillow) but the rest of the room also works with the look — a little masculine, a little trad, even a little colonial when you think of the brass, wood and the black, white, red. So I guess I am saying, keep it spare but also keep it in keeping — with the rest of the room that is.

SAN ANTONIO, Texas (ICIS)--The likelihood of a polypropylene (PP) plant being built in Alberta could play out over the next decade, an executive with NOVA Chemicals said on Tuesday.
NOVA produces mainly ethylene and polyethylene (PE), and it is not involved with propylene derivatives.
However, in speaking generally about the Canadian petrochemical industry, Alberta could have enough feedstock for a company to justify a PP plant.
"Over the next decade, we can have some serious discussions about the potential of a PP plant in Alberta," said Grant Thomson, president of olefins and feedstock for NOVA Chemicals. He made his comments on the sidelines of the International Petrochemical Conference (IPC), hosted by the American Fuel & Petrochemical Manufacturers (AFPM).
Sources for propylene could come from Alberrta's existing crackers, its refineries and its oil-sands upgraders, Thomson said.
However, "as you add all of these up, there is still a lot of work that needs to be done," Thomson said.
For example, a system would need to be developed to gather all of the propylene, he said.
PP was among several products that a study identified as an attractive petrochemical investment in Alberta.
In addition to PP, other feasible investments include propylene glycol (PG) and other derivatives of propylene oxide (PO); ammonia, urea and methanol; and polyethylene (PE), ethylene glycol (EG) and other derivatives of ethylene oxide (EO).
The IPC lasts through Tuesday.
